On the Extreme-Tron, this episode of Paramount Wrestling begins with its opening video montage detailing many of the historic events that have taken place in the five-year history of Future Stars of Wrestling, setting the tone for the history of the Orange brand. From past champions like Jason Hunter, Dixie Dubois, Amis Shelton, Magdalena Lockheart, and Otaki all standing underneath an old FSW logo to the more current Future Stars Champions like Xavier Reid, Cletus Franklin, Melody Malone, Robina Hood, Robbie Rayder, Stitches, Candy, and Wes Walker tearing down that mold, showing the Paramount Wrestling Logo...
As more pyro goes off the Paramount Wrestling logo appears and flashes of the roster appear on the screen such as Next Level, Xavier Reid, "The Beautiful Battleship" Sonya, Ibuki Ito, Amber Lisa, The Kruel Masters, Shaker Jones, Carrie Samson, Grace Holt, Rick Rampage, Apollo Polamalu, Brett Kennedy, Jack Hart, Adriana Aquilla, Emma Louise, 3Pac, Sueñe El Molde, Sakura Yamamoto, FBG, and Raca Jakodi. The final images shown are a montage of Xavier Reid, the EWC Undisputed Championship draped across his chest as he sits atop the Insantiy Cage at Night of Champions XXI, Morgan Darkwater with the EWC Hardcore Championship slung over a shoulder, and the EWC Heritage Championship over the other, El Pablo and the EWC International Championship draped across his chest as he guzzles a packet of skittles, The Lad proudly sporting the EWC United States championship around his waist and the EWC Television championship over his right shoulder, the Heat Packers holding the EWC World Tag Team Championships aloft, Tanja Devereaux with the Dynasty Championship clutched to her chest, and finally Ibuki Ito, The EWC North American championship high over his head as he stands on top of he Brightline Bullet Train as it rolls into the station from UPRISING XXIV.
The camera pans around the loud and out of control audience. As the fireworks continue to explode, the fans chant and cheer! Cameras pan around the arena to catch some of the signage that many fans have brought to Mosaic Stadium with them here tonight. The Paramount Wrestling fan-base is as adamant about having their voices heard now as ever:
"RICK RAMPAGE IS IN SHAKER JONES COUNTRY TONGIHT!!!"
"Lo Dovino: Welcome to the Great White North!"
"FBG Make the World go round!!!"
"Cosmo is worthy of GOLD!"
"Xavier Reid is a madman!!!"
"PAR-A-MOUNT!!!"
"PARA-A-MOUNT!!!"
"PARA-A-MOUNT!!!"
"PAR-A-MOUNT!!!"
"PARA-A-MOUNT!!!"
"PARA-A-MOUNT!!!"
"PAR-A-MOUNT!!!"
The lights come back to full and the fans offer one last rousing cheer at the opening festivities. Tonight's announcers are on standby and ready for the show to begin.
Watson: Good evening from the Queen City folks! We are LIVE for another amazing episode of Paramount Wrestling! I am Tim Watson, THIS is Cid Sydney! And tonight we have an absolutely STACKED show for you all!
Sydney: That's right Tim, we have not one but TWO title matches, with a total of THREE championships on the line, A hardcore match, a tag match and that's just the tip of the iceberg here in the Pile of Bones! First up, the EWC Dynasty Champion takes on the returning Adriana Aquilla in singles action! Then, in a hardcore match, The Canadian Badass Shaker Jones in what is practically his hometown takes on Rick Rampage in what should be an absolute barn burner!
Watson: Then it's over to the tag division where 3pAC, out for vengeance after not capturing the EWC World Tag Team titles at Night of Champions, take on FBG. Then we have interbrand insanity for you as Melinda Rhodes, making her Paramount debut, takes on Prime's Callum MacBeth and Paramount's own Marcu$ $t. John!
Sydney: And in our first title match of the night, TWO championships are on the line. It's EWC International champion El Pablo, It's EWC North American champion Ibuki Ito, title for title, in a Northern Light Brawl match! What exactly is this match type Tim?
Watson: Glad you asked Cid! Neither Ito or Pablo are here in Mosaic Stadium, they are at Hudson Bay where the Northern Lights can regularly be viewed, and they have been dropped off at random parts of town, each with their own referee. They have to find each other and THEN the match starts and the winner takes home TWO EWC Championships! Speaking of, I am hearing that we are going to go to that search in progress.
We cut to Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan Canada as we see Ibuki Ito walking through the wilderness just outside the old railway town. He can be seen walking with one of the EWC Referees, who is also carrying the EWC North American Championship belt. The Aurora Borealis can be seen clearly overhead as the two men walk through the dark woods, Ibuki keeping an arm up and touching the shoulder of the referee, making sure not to lose him along the way. A loud howl can be heard in the distance as the referee jumps.
Referee: What was that?
Ito: Sounds like wolves.
Referee: Are you serious? Why are we even out here?
Ito: Look, I am going to find El Pablo and win this match and his title as soon as possible. Don’t worry about the wolves.
The two continue to make their way through the woods, looking for their counterparts in this match in order to get it started and over with. The scene begins to cut back to the arena as we see Ibuki almost pulling the referee along with him. The camera cuts back to the commentary booth inside Mosaic Stadium.

Sydney: Well this will certainly be something we check in on throughout the night, but that's not the only gold on the line. As announced at UPRISING XXIV, EWC Fighting Spirit champion Cosmo Goldworthy is finally getting what many thing he should have gotten months ago, a one on one shot at the EWC Undisputed championship that currently resides with Paramount's Xavier Reid. Neither of these men are 100% after the Insanity Cage, but one thing is for certain; they both are a massive dislike for each other! We have all of this and so much more to come tonight, but first we have to pay some bills. We will be right back after 1 minute!

SINGLES MATCH

Adriana Aquilla
VS Tanja Devereaux
We return to ringside where everyone is getting ready for the opening contest of the night here in Saskatchewan.
Watson: Welcome back to Paramount Forty-Six here in Saskatchewan! We are ready for our opening contest of the night, and it is sure to impress. Take it away Isabella Starr!
Starr: The following match is scheduled for One Fall. Joining us first, from Mexico City, Mexico, weighing in at One Hundred and Twenty pounds ... ADRIANA AQUILLA!
Iron by Within Temptation hits the speakers and the crowd comes alive as Adriana Aquilla makes her way down to the ring, she slaps hands with a couple of fans before rolling into the ring ready for her match as she removes her jacket.
Starr: And her opponent, from New Orleans, Louisiana, weighing in at One Hundred and Fifteen pounds; She is YOUR EWC DYNASTY CHAMPION ... TANJA DEVEREAUX!
Pyros hit as Videos of bustling crowds of New Orleans appear on the Extreme-Tron as the dark and melodic tones of "Voodoo" by Godsmack blasts. Tanja comes out onto the top of the ramp in a style compared to Gail Kim during her early time in TNA before heading down the ramp with Celeste St. Laurent coming behind her to the ring as Tanja's black leather coat flows at her feet while the boos from the crowd fills the arena. She hisses at those at ringside while coming down to the ring. Tanja walk up towards the ring and enters via under the bottom rope and jumps onto the middle turnbuckle. She poses as she does her usual taunt with a hand and arm in the air as "Voodoo" continues to play. Tanja steps off the turnbuckle as she removes the leather coat as "Voodoo" fades.
DING DING DING
Adriana quickly rushes out of her corner to attack Tanja, but the Dynasty Champion simply side steps and Adriana crashes into the corner at full force, slowly stumbling backwards out of the turnbuckle. She turns around and walks right into a butterfly suplex from Tanja. Adriana bounces off the mat and rolls out of the ring, landing on her feet as she begins to walk off the move outside of the ring. The referee begins the count.
ONE...

Tanja lines up Adriana and rushes the ropes, diving through them but she is met with a Superkick.

Adriana picks Tanja up off the floor and tosses her into the metal turnbuckle on the outside of the ring.

She picks the Dynasty Champion up, tossing her back into the ring and follows shortly after, ending the count. Adriana pops to her feet and quickly rushes the still downed champion and lands a standing moonsault on top of her, going for the pin.
Kickout before one!
Watson: Adriana Aquilla is wasting NO time in reminding everyone how quickly she can put someone on their back!
Sydney: Tanja Devereaux better get it together here and quick!
Adriana begins to slam her hand into the mat over and over out of frustration as she gets up, pulling Tanja up with her. She tosses the Champ into the corner and begins to sound off with a few punches, but Tanja quickly counters with a few of her own. The two fight their way into the middle of the ring. Adriana quickly gets in a leg kick that knocks Tanja down to one knee. Aquilla backs up slightly and rushes forward hitting The Divine Wizard. Tanja falls to the mat and Adriana goes for the pin.
ONE...
TWO...
Kickout!
Adriana sits up, obviously frustrated with the kickout. She slowly gets to her feet, pulling up Tanja with her. She goes to strike her opponent, but Tanja catches the punch and hits her with one of her own. She then follows it up with another and another, backing her into a corner. Tanja lands a few punches before locking up with Adriana and lifts her up and lands Legba’s Spirit. She goes for the pin.
ONE...
TWO...
Watson: I think Tanja heard you there Cid! A whirlwind of offense from the champion almost got her the win there!
Sydney: That she did, but Aquilla seems to be running on high octane fuel tonight, she will not be put down!
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Starr: And your winner, via Pinfall TANJA DEVEREAUX!
Tanja stands to her feet, the referee raising her arm as she just looked down at her fallen foe.
Watson: Another win here from our EWC Dynasty Champion. She is showing exactly why she is our champion here on Paramount.
Sydney: Adriana put on one hell of a show and pushed Tanja to the limits. I really thought the latina had this one, despite being happy to see Tanja take another soul to the crossroads.
Adriana rolls out of the ring, obviously upset with herself as she begins to make her way up the ramp, Tanja still celebrating in the ring.
Watson: We are just getting started folks. DO NOT GO ANYWHERE. We will be right back!

Hardcore Rules
Shaker Jones
VS Rick Rampage
We return to ringside where Tim and Cid are standing by!
Watson: Welcome back folks, if you're just joining us, you missed the start of the Northern Light Brawl match that will be going on throughout the night, and one hell of an opening contest that saw Tanja Devereaux continue to show why she is the Dynasty champion as she picked up the victory against a returning Adriana Aquilla! Now though, its time to see some hardcore action!
Starr: The following match, set for one fall, is a Hardcore Rules Match! Joining us first, making his way to us from Inglis, Manitoba, Canada and weighing in at 225 pounds... SHAKER JONES!
From somewhere to the side of the arena comes Shaker Jones. He walks into the arena from the concourse and he heads down the steps toward the arena floor. He weaves through the people and climbs the ringside barrier before rolling into the ring. He stalks around the ring before turning to a corner for some last minute stretches.
Starr: And the opponent…
'Burn' by Three Days Grace begins to play over the PA-System. Rampage comes out, taunting the fans as they boo him. He makes his way down the ramp quickly, sliding into the ring and making his way over to the corner. Rick climbs up onto the second buckle, tossing his arms into the air.
Starr: Now in the ring, hailing from New York, New York...He is The GOLDEN BOY... RICK RAMPAGE!

Shaker just manages to lift a shoulder off the mat to break the count.
Watson: I don’t know how he kicked out of that. He gained some bruises in that attack that have bruises from that attack!
Sydney: Rick Rampage may be going off the deep end with that. I get the will to win but that looked like a will to hurt too!
Rampage grabs Shaker and tosses him through the ropes to the outside. As Rampage heads out after him, Shaker smacks him with the timekeeper’s table shattering it into bits and dropping Rampage to the floor. Shaker climbs onto the commentary table and he runs across it and flies at Rampage hitting a flying forearm. Shaker gets to his feet and runs at Rampage. He jumps for a Cowabunga.

Shaker shoves Rampage back and knocks him down with a clothesline. Shaker rolls to the apron and springs into the ring hitting a Thunderbolt Grease-Slapper. Instead of making a cover, Shaker lifts Rampage to the top rope. As Shaker climbs to join him, Rampage lashes out with punches and forearms to Shaker’s back.

Watson: After a top rope Golden Driver through a ringside table, Rick Rampage picks up a landmark victory!
Sydney: Well we know now what they had to do to win but this could have been avoided had Shaker Jones gone for a pinfall after that Forearm of his! Tonight in his hotel room, you just know that Shaker Jones will be going over and over that decision tonight!
Watson: There is still so much to come including a tag team match and an Interbrand triple threat! We will be right back folks!
Camera cuts to ...
We cut back to Hudson Bay, this time we see El Pablo making his way through the town of Hudson Bay, riding around on a Moose, the referee walking closely by the side of El Pablo carrying the EWC International Championship. As he rides through the town, he is tossing out packages to the people of Hudson Bay, smiling and waving to them as he does so. The referee looks baffled by this and just looks up to the wrestler he was accompanying.
Referee: What are you doing? Bribing the towns people to help you win.
El Pablo: That’s not my style. These are just gifts in hopes of spreading the love EWC has for the people.
Referee: No, you’re up to something and I know it.
El Pablo: Not at all, just having a little fun.
The referee just shakes his head as the two continue their way through the town, both looking out for Ibuki Ito.

TAG TEAM SHOWCASE
FBG
VS 3pAC
We return to ringside where the fans are still pumped after the barnburner of a match that just took place between Shaker Jones and Rick Rampage.
Watson: El Pablo and Ibuki Ito are still searching for each other, but now it’s time for some Tag team action, where we see FBG step into the ring with former Tag Team Champions, 3pAC. Let's head down to Isabella Starr to get this match underway.
Starr: The following match is scheduled for ONE fall and is a Tag Team Match-up! Joining us first, weighing in at a combined four-hundred and forty-two pounds ... Mikaela Gonzales and Althea Finnegan… F! B! G!!

Starr: And their opponents, weighing in at a combined four-hundred and fifty-five pounds ... Deimos and ‘Little’ Danny… 3pAC!!!
The camera cuts to the crowd as Deimos, 'Little' Danny and Bunny Love walk through the crowd as 'My Hero' plays out. They march down the steps and make it to the guardrail. Deimos jumps over as 'Little' Danny runs and jumps over, doing that famous somersault entrance…once on his feet the pair walk over and lift Bunny Love up and over the rail with a hand under each of her arms. The trio storm up the steps and enter the ring…
Bunny steps out between the ropes and walks back down the stairs on one side of the ring, as Emberleigh drops to the mat and rolls out of the ring on the other side.
Althea and Danny start the match, both of them stand on each side of the ring, watching as Deimos and Mikaela slide out. The moment they both get out of the ring, but Danny and Althea charge forward and lock up, with Danny quickly taking charge and getting Althea in a side headlock. He wrenches down hard not once, not twice, but three times… specifically turning and looking straight at Mikaela as he does it a third time. He laughs slightly as he lets go of Althea, but tosses her to the side at the same time. Althea stumbles but stays on her feet. She stands up straight, turning towards Danny… who just bounced off the ropes… REBOUND LARIAT!!! ALTHEA IS ON HER BACK! Danny drops down and hooks Althea’s leg…

Quick thinking by Danny, but definitely not enough to put Althea Finnegan down. Danny stands to his feet, reaching down and grabbing Althea by the hair and pulling her up as well. Kick to the gu- NO! Althea grabs Danny’s leg and spins him around… HUGE FOREARM TO THE BACK OF DANNY’S HEAD AND HE BOUNCES INTO THE ROPES. He comes stumbling back, his back at Althea… BACKSTABBER!!!

He tries a clothesline, but Althea ducks under it… causing Danny to hit the next ropes and come flying back from the opposite direction. Danny tries to go on the offensive again with another clothesline, but Althea drops down… BACK BODY DROP AND DANNY SLAMS HARD INTO THE MAT! Althea is really aiming for that back of his! Althea smirks and shrugs her shoulders at Mikaela as Danny pulls himself up to his knees…then up to one foot. Althea comes charging forward for another attack… PELE KICK!!! LITTLE DANNY WITH THE PELE KICK OUT OF NOWHERE AND ALTHEA IS ROCKED!!! Althea stumbles back towards her corner as Danny pushes off the mat and makes the tag! Deimos comes charging forward… BUT ALTHEA STUMBLES INTO HER CORNER, ALLOWING MIKAELA TO SLAP HER SISTER’S SHOULDER!!! Mikaela climbs into the ring as the fans begin to roar for the bigger competitors! Mikaela and Deimos meet in the middle of the ring AND BEGIN TO TRADE RIGHTS AND LEFTS!!! Deimos gets the first block and LAYS into Mikaela with a huge elbow, sending her into the ropes!
Mikaela bounces off the ropes and stumbles forward… DEIMOS WITH A HUGE RUNNING CLOTHESLINE AND MIKAELA GOES OVER THE TOP ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE!!! What is Little Danny doing? He enters the ring, causing the ref to turn his back on Mikaela and Deimos, to take care of him. Bunny Love runs around the outside, towards the fallen Mik- EMBERLEIGH JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND HIP CHECKED BUNNY SO HARD SHE FLEW OVER THE BARRICADE AND INTO THE CROWD!!!
Meanwhile Mikaela is back up to her feet… Deimos grabs the rope and slingshots himse- MIKAELA CAUGHT HIM IN THE AIR!!! She goes running… AND SLAMS DEIMOS BACK FIRST INTO THE CORNER POST ON THE OUTSIDE! Deimos lets out a painful yelp before Mikaela turns and pushes him back into the ring under the bottom rope.
Watson: I would pay to see these teams do a hardcore tag team match.
Sydney: Something tells me they would tear this place apart.

Watson: Deimos with the quick thinking! His back may be in pain, but his mind is on point!
Sydney: FBG seemed to be rolling in this one at the end, but Althea not paying attention really cost them here.
Deimos grabs at his back as he, Danny, and Bunny walk through the crowd… their eyes staring at FBG in the middle of the ring, who looked crushed by defeat.
Watson: I certainly don't think we have seen the last of these two teams going at it. There is still unsettled business here.

Bunny Love runs around the outside, towards the fallen Mik- EMBERLEIGH JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND HIP CHECKED BUNNY SO HARD SHE FLEW OVER THE BARRICADE AND INTO THE CROWD!!!
Meanwhile Mikaela is back up to her feet… Deimos grabs the rope and slingshots himse- MIKAELA CAUGHT HIM IN THE AIR!!! She goes running… AND SLAMS DEIMOS BACK FIRST INTO THE CORNER POST ON THE OUTSIDE! Deimos lets out a painful yelp before Mikaela turns and pushes him back into the ring under the bottom rope.
Watson: I would pay to see these teams do a hardcore tag team match.
Sydney: Something tells me they would tear this place apart.
Mikaela stands up and reaches out, tagging Althea. Althea steps through the ropes…BUT DEIMOS IS UP WAITING FOR HER!!! Deimos grabs Althea AND ROLLS HER UP!!!
ONE...
Mikaela slides back into the ring…
TWO...
Little Danny charges in and throws himself at her, dropkicking her through the ropes and out of the ring.
Althea starts fighting…
Deimos holds on tightly…
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Starr: And your winners, via pinfall 3pAC!!!
Emberleigh slides into the ring as Deimos and Danny slide out and climb into the crowd to get Bunny.
Watson: Deimos with the quick thinking! His back may be in pain, but his mind is on point!
Sydney: FBG seemed to be rolling in this one at the end, but Althea not paying attention really cost them here.
Deimos grabs at his back as he, Danny, and Bunny walk through the crowd… their eyes staring at FBG in the middle of the ring, who looked crushed by defeat.
Watson: I certainly don't think we have seen the last of these two teams going at it. There is still unsettled business here.

TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Interbrand Insanity
Melinda Rhodes
VS Callum MacBeth
VS Marcu$ $t. John
Watson: We’re back for another match, some Inter-brand Insanity if you will! Stay tuned!
As 'Beast - Southpaw Remix' hits, Callum MacBeth comes storming out of the back. He screams in the faces of fans, flipping them off and throwing their drinks in their faces as he walks down to the ring. He paces like a rabid animal in the ring, continuing to scream obscenities and give the finger.
Starr: The following contest is an inter-brand triple threat match, and it is scheduled for one fall! First, from Glasgow, Scotland, representing Prime and The House… He is “The Hooligan,” CALLUM MACBETH!!!
"Back from the Dead" hit's the PA and out comes the Rebel in full ring gear, twirling her bright red aluminum baseball bat in hand. She points it at the ring, then heads straight for battle....
Starr: And his opponents, first, from Rome, Georgia, representing Brawl… “The Original Rebel,” MELINDA RHODES!!!
"Money" blasts through the arena by The Game. M$J slowly walks out onto the entrance ramp with a Money Gun and soaks in the cheers. He pumps up the crowd more before posing on the center of the entrance ramp. He walks down to the ring shooting the gun which splashes out $100 dollar bills as the fans go crazy with a huge smile on his face.
He stops right before he gets to the ring and listens as he hears cheers that he is getting from the crowd. He walks around the ring shooting more money out. He jumps up on the apron and wipes his feet before he enters the ring and poses in the middle of the squared circle as a light shines a hundred dollar bill in the center of the ring with his face on it.
Starr: And, from Silicon Valley, California, representing Paramount… “The Young Mogul,” MARCU$ $T. JOHN!!!
Pyro hits as "Money" by The Game ends, and the bell rings as Callum steps towards both Marcu$ and Melinda.
DING DING DING
Callum flips both his opponents off, opening his arms up and talking shit.
Callum: You ain’t shit! I’m the man around here, I’m the man!
Callum spits at M$J, and then spits at Melinda… AND IS PROMPTLY SUPERKICKED BY MARCU$! As Callum stumbles back, Rhodes scoops him up and hits an exploder suplex! M$J goes to dive out onto Callum… BUT HE’S STOPPED BY MELINDA WITH A BIG BOOT! Melinda grins and starts to set up M$J for a jackknife powerbomb… AND M$J FLIPS OVER HER AS HE’S LIFTED UP! He hits her with a spinning heel kick! She stumbles, and Marcu$ hops onto the top rope, waiting for her to look again, and he leaps off with a missile dropkick… ONLY TO BE CAUGHT BY MELINDA! SPINOUT POWERBOMB! She hooks the leg!
ONE…
TWO…
THR- No! Callum MacBeth slides back into the ring and breaks up the pin with a PK to Melinda!
Watson: So many counters so far!
Sydney: For as evenly matched as Melinda and Marcu$ seem to be, they can’t forget about Callum!
Callum grabs Melinda and tosses her across the ring with a double arm suplex! He then goes over to M$J, and tosses him with one as well! Melinda gets up in the corner… And Callum charges at her with a Hooligan Kick! He then leaps at M$J, rocking him with a C-Trigger, before following it up with a rolling elbow and a powerbomb over the ropes to the outside! M$J lands tailbone first on the apron! Callum spits on M$J again and turns his attention back to Melinda, biting her forehead in the corner! He flips off the audience and looks back at Melinda, who kicks him in the gut and mounts a comeback with a snap DDT! She starts to lift him for a backdrop suplex… but Callum elbows out of it! He manuevers around her and lifts her into a backdrop suplex of his own! He then fires back with a quick C-Trigger, and wastes no time lifting her back up… for a Jackhammer! He covers!
ONE…
TWO…
THR- No! Melinda kicks out!
Watson: It’ll take more than that to put the former International Champion away!
Sydney: Callum’s got a real bad temper… what does he have planned now?!
Callum pounds the mat in frustration and rolls out of the ring… he grabs a steel chair, and tosses it in! He grabs another steel chair, tosses it in! He grabs a third chair and rolls back in, waiting for Melinda to get up. He whallops her over the head with a chair, instantly causing her to bleed! He grins and drops the chair, extending his arms out to the crowd with his back pressed against the ropes.
Callum: Fuck this shit! I’m the fookin’ best-
Callum is cut off by M$J DOING A HANDSTAND ON THE APRON AND WRAPPING HIS LEGS AROUND CALLUM’S SHOULDERS, PROPELLING HIMSELF UP… AND THEN TWISTING AROUND TO DELIVER A FRANKENSTEINER RIGHT INTO A PIN TO CALLUM!
ONE…
TWO…
THR- No! Callum kicks out!
M$J tries to rush Melinda with a dropkick… but she catches him into an exploder suplex, and she launches him right onto the pile of chairs in the ring! M$J rolls around in pain as Melinda waits for him to get up, signaling for the Rhodes Kill spear… BUT SHE’S CUT OFF BY CALLUM SPEARING HER INSTEAD! SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES! However, Melinda manages to roll out of the ring! Callum hits M$J in the corner with a Hooligan Kick, rubbing his boot into his face… but M$J spits back at Callum in defiance! This only pisses Callum off further, and he moves M$J up to the top rope… SUPERPLEX ONTO THE PILE OF CHAIRS! Callum rolls out of the ring in pain… only to meet the bloody Melinda face to face! They trade stiff forearm shots with each other on the outside, before charging with a big one that makes both of them stumble back! They both then dive to under the ring, and emerge with plunder! Callum with a kendo stick, and Melinda with her signature red baseball bat! They engage in a good old fashioned sword battle, smashing their weapons against each other and trading blows, but the kendo stick is no match for the baseball bat, and quickly snaps! With nowhere else to go, Callum just slaps himself and tells Melinda to bring it on!
So she obliges AND SMASHES THE BASEBALL BAT RIGHT INTO CALLUM’S SKULL! BLOOD SPURTS EVERYWHERE! Melinda grins and licks the blood off of the bat… BUT CALLUM ISN’T DOWN! HE’S STILL STANDING! Her eyes go wide, and she raises the bat again… BUT THEN M$J DIVES DOWN FROM THE TOP ROPE ONTO BOTH OF THEM WITH AN ELBOW DROP! ALL THREE COMPETITORS GO DOWN!
Watson: This is absolute pandemonium!
Sydney: Truly living up to what you said earlier… INSANITY!
Marcu$ tosses Callum back into the ring, and lifts him up… BRAINBUSTAHHH! But he’s not finished! He lifts again, this time onto his shoulders… DEATH VALLEY DRIVER ONTO THE CHAIR PILE! He covers!
ONE…
TWO…
THR- No! Callum kicks out!
Marcu$ shakes his head and goes to the top rope… FROG SPLASH!
…NO! MELINDA CUTS HIM OFF WITH A FLYING RHODES KILL! SHE COVERS!
ONE…
TWO…
THR- No! M$J kicks out!
Melinda slowly gets up, and M$J gets to his knees. Melinda waits further, wanting M$J to stand up for the Shot Through The Heart… but she notices Callum stand up on the other side of the ring. The two bloodied warriors make eye contact, then both look at the dazed Marcu$ in the middle of the ring… And they charge at him, with Melinda hitting a superkick and Callum hitting a C-Trigger! M$J falls back down, limp, and Callum wastes zero time immediately going back to biting Melinda, specifically her head wound from the earlier chair shot! He gives her some uppercuts, but she strikes back with some boxing punches! Callum ends that real quick, however, with a Glasgow Kiss headbutt! Melinda staggers… but doesn’t go down! Callum punches her right in the liver, and then hits a big rolling elbow, finally taking her to her knees! He grabs her by the hair and pulls her to the apron…
Watson: He better not be attempting what I think he’s attempting…
Sydney: This might end her career! You know her history with neck injuries!
Callum grins and starts to lift Melinda for a piledriver… But she keeps her feet planted! She pushes Callum back and fires with some more boxing punches and forearms, and Callum staggers enough for her to start to set up Shot In The Heart… BUT CALLUM PUSHES HER OFF AND DELIVERS ANOTHER GLASGOW KISS! Melinda falls to her knees on the apron… AND CALLUM CAPITALIZES BY PULLING HER UP RIGHT INTO THE HOOLIGAN-STYLE PILEDRIVER ONTO THE APRON! HER NECK COMPRESSES AGAINST THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING, GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY! Melinda crumples onto the floor, but Callum hangs onto the rope to stay on the apron… ONLY TO BE PULLED THROUGH THE ROPE BY M$J, AND RIGHT INTO REGICIDE! Marcu$ quickly runs the ropes… MONEY STOMP 2.0 ONTO CALLUM’S SKULL! And if that wasn’t enough, he lifts Callum up… BANKRUPT! CALLUM IS DUMPED RIGHT ON HIS NECK! M$J covers!
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Starr: Here is your winner via pinfall… Marcu$ $t. John!!!
M$J celebrates and gets his arm raised by the referee, as medical staff checks on Melinda in the outside, who clutches her neck in pain and stares right at Marcu$, absolutely seething. She mouths “this isn’t over” at him, and he just nods and tells her to bring her best shot one on one next time.
Watson: What a war that was! Everybody in that match might have a shorter career now than before they walked in with all that neck trauma! But it was the Young Mogul who continues his winning ways and picked up the victory!
Sydney: I think Melinda is right, this isn’t over between her and M$J! Some day they’ll do battle again, and the Rebel might finally be able to get that Parabellum loss out of her mind! But for now, she’s gotta worry about her match on Monday with Vin Havoc, and keeping her neck healthy!
We fade out as M$J celebrates with the fans, and Melinda manages to limp out under her own power.
The camera cuts backstage inside Mosaic Stadium where Lisa Goldrush is standing by.
Goldrush: 16 days ago we all witnessed Xavier Reid walk into Night of Champions to defend the EWC Undisputed Championship against the seven EWC wrestlers that hold the nine EWC Championships. History was not on his side, only one Undisputed Champion had ever defended that championship inside the Insanity Cage yet…Xavier did the unthinkable!
Lisa smiles as she continues.
Goldrush: He did what only the legendary Ace King had ever done and walked out of Night of Champions #AndStill…when he hit the BEAST Slayer on Cosmo Goldworthy causing him to fall off the top of the cage and through the flaming table. History was made and with that win it kept the biggest prize in the EWC right here on Paramount, making Paramount ‘the home of EWC Champions’!
Lisa nods as the crowd inside the Mosaic Stadium cheer and break into a ‘Paramount’ chant. After a few moments it dies down and Lisa continues.
Goldrush: But our Undisputed Champion will have no rest for the wicked, tonight he will once again be out there in that ring defending the Undisputed Champion against the man he eliminated 16 days ago in Cosmo Goldworthy!
With the mention of his name the Paramount fans boo loudly.
Goldrush: To say the tension between these two men are high would be an understatement but don’t take my word for it, take the champions words!!!
The camera pulls back to show Lisa Goldrush standing next to the EWC Undisputed Champion Xavier Reid, alongside his manager/girlfriend Bunny Love, who has the championship over her shoulder.
Goldrush: Xavier, Cosmo has been very vocal on your status here in the EWC, in layman's terms he’s…
Love: Demanded that he retire, that he LEAVE the EWC, but I ask, where does Cosmo Goldworthy get off demanding anything?
Goldrush: My sentiments exactly! Xavier is a 12 time EWC Champion. He clearly isn’t ‘hanging on’ to his glory days in fact I could make the argument that…
Love: He’s at the top of his game!!!
Goldrush: Yes, he is the 2023 winner of the Rumble and added Insanity Cage winner to his Hall of Fame worthy resume 16 days ago. Cosmo Goldworthy was in BOTH of those matches and…
Love: FAILED to win either of them!
Goldrush: And yet…
Reid: He wants me gone…
Xavier flashes a smile as both ladies look at him…
Reid: He feels as if I have overstayed my welcome but the truth is he wanted me gone to make his path to that…
Xavier points at the EWC Undisputed Championship that’s on Bunny’s shoulder…
Reid: Easier. He wants the ‘old guard’ gone the same way Jack Severn wanted Ace King gone because it would make their lives easier. I get it, while I’m here I am always a threat, I’m someone who is capable of winning ANY championship in the EWC and being ‘that man’ takes eyes off Cosmo Goldworthy. See Lisa, Cosmo wants to brag about how many matches he’s won this season, he wants people to talk about the MVP’s he’s won… he wants all the attention on him and him alone but the fact is nobody cares about the matches he’s won outside him. See I have the TWO biggest wins of the 2024 season, the main event at StrangleMania where I beat Sally Talfourd for the EWC Undisputed Championship and inside the Insanity Cage at Night of Champions where I tossed him off the cage to defend the Undisputed Championship… those are the two matches everyone wants to talk about, not him beating Justin Paige at Rampage #524 and claiming an MVP bonus…
Xavier shakes his head…
Reid: Cosmo promised the wrestling world that he would leave Night of Champions the Undisputed Champion, told the wrestling world that he ‘would not fail’ and yet here I am, with that championship… why, because Cosmo wasn’t up to the task… he didn’t have what it took to beat me when it mattered the most. See there is a difference when that championship is on the line, there is no safety net… it was either win or maybe never challenge for that championship again Lisa. See it would have been easy for me to have given up, just lay on that first cage and say screw it but I got up, I climbed back up to the top of the cage because that’s how much this championship means to me. He talks as if winning this is ‘not that hard’, like it’s a given that he will have it without having a clue just how difficult it is. See I know, I have won it THREE TIMES and it’s painstakingly difficult. There was a time last year where I wondered if I would even ever challenge for it again and Cosmo thought what, that I would just step aside and say, ‘here, take it’... no, this means too much for me to just hand over.
Xavier looks at the Undisputed Championship…
Reid: He belittles what I have done as champion because what, he doesn’t think I’m worthy, what does he know about being worthy enough to hold this? So very few have been lucky enough to call themselves the EWC Undisputed Champion… only THREE have done it three times… that’s the status that I hold here in the EWC and Cosmo means to piss all over everything I’ve done… like he’s reinvented wrestling? I am proud of what I have done as the EWC Undisputed Champion, sure I lost twice but I defended that against every EWC singles Champion here… I am the UNDISPUTED CHAMPION and it doesn’t matter if Cosmo Goldworthy likes it or not. I am no going anywhere nor is this championship…
Xavier looks back at the camera…
Reid: And tonight I get to end any chance of Cosmo Goldworthy challenging for this championship for the foreseeable future. See, he wants this match but doesn’t understand that it’s do or die for him… that a loss here tonight KILLS Cosmo Goldworthy and everything he stands for. He wants me to retire, to leave… well tonight I get the chance to send his ass out to pasture. I get the chance to end any hope of Cosmo Goldworthy becoming the Undisputed Champion and I get to do so right here… in my home, in Paramount and in Canada…
There is a cheap pop from the Canadian fans…
Reid: See, I get it… some in the EWC might want Cosmo as their champion. It would explain the quick turn around in defenses but I can’t allow that. For the greater good Cosmo Goldworthy must not become the Undisputed Champion. A man like him, giving him that kind of power… well you might as well burn down the EWC. No, tonight I will stop at nothing to make damn sure the EWC is saved from Cosmo Goldworthy and I will put his punk ass in my rear-view mirror for once and for all…
Xavier smirks as him and Bunny Love walk off screen
NORTHERN LIGHTS BRAWL
TITLE FOR TITLE MATCH FOR THE EWC INTERNATIONAL & NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIPS!
El Pablo
VS Ibuki Ito
We come back to the town of Hudson Bay, where Ibuki Ito has finally made his way out of the wilderness and into the town itself. As he walks around, he begins to see a figure in the shadows, and he can recognize that mask anywhere. He rushes into action, grabbing a hold of the figure and turning them around. It’s not El Pablo though, but some one else wearing an El Pablo mask. Ibuki lets the man go and then makes his way back into the street, where he sees another masked man, whom he quickly confronts, but this too is not El Pablo.
Ibuki is getting obviously frustrated now as we see several people now walking through the town, all of them wearing an El Pablo mask. For a moment, he just stands there in total disbelief as he walks deeper into the town. Then all of a sudden, the loud sound of hooves can be heard rushing towards Ibuki Ito. The camera pans over and El Pablo can be seen surfing the top of a moose that is making its way down the streets of Hudson Bay. Pablo leaps off of the moose and goes to hit The FACEPAINTER on Ibuki Ito, but he hits the second referee instead.
Watson: Oh My God….El Pablo almost ended this match from the get go but he hit one of the referees with that crazy move.
Sydney: Now we know why El Pablo was handing out all those packages. He was disguising the whole town as himself to catch Ibuki Ito by surprise.
DING DING DING
Ibuki immediately rushes his opponent, trying to grapple with him, but Pablo side steps him and rushes back towards the moose that is still trotting around. He tries to climb back up onto the back of the moose, but Ito is able to finally grab ahold of him and hits him with a back suplex. El Pablo hits the asphalt hard and rolls across the street as Ibuki gets to his feet and quickly goes to grab a hold of Pablo, reigning down with a few punches to the skull before going for another lock up, but Pablo performs a quick leg sweep and then follows it up with a quick elbow drop.
Pablo goes for another elbow drop, but Ibuki rolls out of the way as Pablo hits the ground, quickly holding his sides as he begins to writhe in pain. Ito gets up quickly and rushes his opponent, landing a few quick stomps before lifting him up from the ground. Ibuki spins Pablo and grabs him, going for another suplex, but as he does, Pablo flips out, landing on his feet. Before Ito can turn around, El Pablo rushes forward and hits his opponent with a Bulldog. El Pablo gets to his feet and begins to revel for a moment, but as he does, Ibuki Ito begins to get to his feet. El Pablo notices this and quickly makes his way back to the moose, hopping on and taking off.
Watson: A FREAKING MOOSE?! What in the name of Dudley-Do-Right is going on here?
Sydney: What? I'm looking for Rocky! This is Moose and Squirrel territory here Tim!
Ito quickly follows after, but the moose is way to fast and El Pablo disappears behind some buildings. Ibuki still pursues him, the camera and referees not far behind. Ito gets to the back of the buildings and looks all around trying to figure out where El Pablo went, when all of a sudden he sees the moose walking around by itself. Ibuki makes his way over there, looking for any sign of El Pablo. Just as he gets to where the moose is, Pablo appears on a balcony above Ito and hops onto the railing. He runs along the railing and leaps off, nailing Ibuki Ito with The Five Star Express and immediately goes for the pin.
ONE...
TWO….No Kickout!
Pablo sits up, a shocked look on his face as he slowly gets to his feet, lifting him up, landing a few quick punches before trying to toss Ito into a brick wall, but Ito is able to reverse it and sends El Pablo into the brick wall instead. Pablo falls to his knees, hugging the wall as he just kneels there, completely motionless as Ito takes the opportunity and rushes forward, landing the Konbanwa. The wicked elbow to the back of the head sends Pablo’s skull back into the brick wall, sending him crumbling down to the ground as Ibuki goes for the pin.
ONE...
TWO...
THR….NO KICKOUT!
Watson: HOW THE HELL DID HE KICKOUT?! He just got his heads caved into a BRICK WALL!!
Sydney: That is the pure instinct of a man who spend 500 plus days in the total chaos of the X-Division. El Pablo is not conscious right now, I can almost guarantee it.
Ibuki sits up and looks over to the referee, showing three fingers and having thought he had gotten the three count. Ito gets to his feet and backs up a little, waiting for El Pablo to slowly start to get up. As he does, Ito rushes forward, but Pablo tosses out a bunch of marbles from out of nowhere which causes Ibuki to slip and fall onto his back, his head hitting the ground, dazing him. Pablo gets to his feet and sees a giant moose statue in the street and rushes over to it, climbing it. As he does, he still sees Ibuki down on the ground and leaps off, hitting the R.P.M. and goes for the cover.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Starr: And your winner, via Pinfall and NEW EWC NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION , but also STILL EWC INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION... EL PABLO!
El Pablo slowly gets to his feet, stumbling slightly as the referee helps him stand, handing him both championship belts. The Clown Prince of Chaos is finally able to stand on his own and lifts the titles into the air.
Watson: What a match here. Both of these men putting their bodies and titles on the line so soon after Insanity Cage.
Sydney: Jesus Chris, I can’t believe what we just saw. Ibuki Ito left it all out there and has nothing to be ashamed of here tonight, but we have a new EWC North American Champion and that man is El Pablo.
Pablo continues to celebrate as the scene cuts back to the announcers inside the Mosaic Stadium.
Watson: El Pablo has certainly earned every bit of celebration that he will get into here tonight, but we have to wonder now where Ito's head will be after this match. It was so close and I can already see them running this back again soon. We still have our MASSIVE main event to come folks. We will be right back!

SINGLES MATCH
FOR THE EWC UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONSHIP
Cosmo Goldworthy
VS Xavier Reid
We return to ringside where the fans are getting ready for the main event of the evening. The atmosphere is electric as they prepare themselves to possibly see the crowning of a new EWC Undisputed Champion right here on Paramount.
Watson: Listen to these fans here tonight. They know exactly what they are about to see. Cosmo Goldworthy and Xavier Reid have some unfinished business to attend to after the Insanity Cage, and that business will be finished here tonight on Paramount.
Starr: The following match is scheduled for One Fall and is for the EWC Undisputed Championship. Joining us first, from The Golden State, weighing in at Two Hundred and One pounds, and 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 United States 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 United States 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.
Starr: And his, from New York City, weighing in at Two Hundred and Twenty pounds, HE IS THE EWC UNDISPUTED 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. Bunny Love follows him out onto the stage to cheers. Xavier walks to the front of the stage and crosses his arms into an X in front of his chest and smirks as Bunny walks up from behind him and points to the ring. Xavier and Bunny walk towards the ring, climb up the steps and into the ring. Xavier goes to the far corner and jumps up to the second rope and looks out over the fans as Bunny walks to the center of the ring and points at Xavier.
Watson: Cosmo was so close to walking out of the Insanity Cage with the Undisputed Championship and now he gets a shot at the title he feels is rightfully his. Ladies and Gentleman, get ready for some fireworks.
DING DING DING
Cosmo quickly rushes at the Champion, looking to take the fight to him right out the gate, but Xavier Reid ducks out of the way, spinning to keep his eyes on the challenger who had landed himself in the turnbuckle. Cosmo quickly turns around, an angry look on his face as he walks out of the turnbuckle towards Xavier. He starts towards the champion slowly at first, and then lunges forward but is met with a solid knee that knocks the wind out of his as his body bends over. Xavier then rushes to the ropes and bounces back connecting with a boot to the side of the head of his opponent who goes crashing down to the mat.
Xavier quickly goes over to Cosmo, lifting him up to his feet, but Cosmo pushes off and quickly heads towards the ropes. He comes rebounding off with a dropkick that sends Xavier down to the mat hard. Cosmo gets to his feet and quickly goes to drop an elbow down on Xavier, but quickly rolls out of the ring and immediately begins to walk around the outside, shaking off the attack he had just endured.
1!
2!
Cosmo quickly gets a sense of Xavier’s direction of movement and rushes the ropes, leaping over them and then flipping, meeting Xavier on the outside of the ring, the two crashing together and hitting the mat. Cosmo quickly rolls up to his feet and begins to play to the crowd, taunting them slightly as he motions to his waist in a gesture to show that he thinks the title will soon be his.
1!
2!
Cosmo turns his attention back to Xavier, lifting him up off the floor, but Xavier lands a few quick punches to the gut before grabbing a hold of and sends him crashing into the metal turnbuckle on the outside of the ring.
3!
4!
Xavier lifts his opponent up from the ground and then quickly drops him down with a DDT. The Champion gets to his feet, looking down at the downed Cosmo Goldworthy for rolling into the ring.
5!
6!
Xavier begins to strut in the ring, his back to the fallen Cosmo, who has begun to stir, slowly rising to his feet.
7!
8!
Cosmo quickly rolls into the ring and takes advantage of the fact that Xavier’s back is turned. He rushes the Champion, hitting him with a solid forearm that sends him crashing down to the mat hard. Cosmo begins to stomp down on Xavier’s back and shoulders for a few moments before the Champ is able to roll away and get to his feet. Xavier begins to roll his shoulder that was being stomped on, trying to work out the new found soreness in it as he stares across the ring at Cosmo. Cosmo smirks slightly at him as the two begin to circle one another, the crowd on the edge of their seats as they wait to see who makes the next move.
Watson: Goddamn I love a good old fashioned stalemate!
Sydney: it doesn't happen that often anymore Tim, this is a testament to how well these two have scouted each other. They know every move, every counter, these are two students of the game Tim and we are about to watch a CLINIC here tonight.
Xavier is the first one to make a move, but Cosmo is able to duck around the Champion, hitting him with a swift kick to the stomach. He begins to fire off several quick punches before grabbing a hold of Xavier and tossing him into the ropes. Reid comes bouncing back and walks right into a dropkick from the challenger. Cosmo quickly pops up from his back and makes his way down to the fallen champion and begins to knock him further down into the mat with a series of stomps before hitting him with a quick elbow drop.
As Cosmo gets up, he brings Xavier up to his feet with him before parading around with him in the ring, jeering towards the ground before grappling with him and hitting him with an exploder suplex. Goldworthy pops up to his feet, taunting the crowd for a moment, walking over to the ropes as he stares down at the EWC Undisputed Championship Belt, pointing at it and shouting that it was his before turning around and walking right into The BEAST Slayer. Cosmo falls to the mat and Xavier rolls over, draping his arm over Cosmo. The referee slides in to make the count.
ONE...
TWO...
Kickout!
Watson: Reid trying to make Cosmo expel as much energy as needed to take the wind out of the rookie's sails.
Sydney: Smart strategy, but a guy like Cosmo has so much endurance I'm not sure that he even knows what his limit is yet.
Xavier sits up, looking over at Cosmo, an exasperated look on his face as he slowly gets to his feet. He lifts up Cosmo and leans back and lands a punch. He then follows it up with another and another, before Cosmo finally counters and fires off a shot of his own. The two men begin to exchange blows back and forth until Xavier eventually gets the upper hand. The champ quickly moves around his opponent and hits him with a German Suplex.
Xavier quickly pops up and then backs away, sizing up Cosmo who slowly begins to stir and rolls over to his belly before slowly working his way up onto all fours. Xavier rushes forward and tries to land a running punt kick, but Cosmo escapes as Xavier runs front first into the ring ropes before stumbling backward into a German Suplex from Cosmo. Goldworthy gets up and then stands over Xavier before lifting him up into The House Special. Xavier immediately begins to writhe in pain as he tries to find a way to escape, but Cosmo isn’t budging.
The referee gets right in on Xavier, looking for anything that may signify a submission. Cosmo tries to really tighten in the submission, but Xavier isn’t quite ready to give up just yet. The champ does everything he can to find a weakness in the hold. Eventually he begins to shift his weight, putting it all on one of his opponents knees. Cosmo tries to compensate but loses his balance. As he tries to retain his balance, Xavier shifts again and Cosmo begins to stumble forward. Just as he regains balance, Xavier reaches out and grabs ahold of the ropes. The referee comes in to break the hold, but Cosmo isn’t ready to let go just yet. The referee counts for Cosmo to release the hold, which he promptly does so at the count of four.
Watson: Xavier is refusing to go down, will not submit to The House member.
Sydney: This is where the experience of the champion shows true. He knows exactly where he is at all times and using every possible escape available to him. If you're not exploiting the rules to your benefit then you're not competing!
Cosmo backs up for a moment, waiting for Xavier to get to his feet. As he does, the Champion stumbles toward his opponent. Cosmo rushes forward and goes for The Ready to Die. He misses as Xavier ducks under and then turns to attack. As he does, Cosmo has already gotten to his feet and leaps in the air, landing a Pele Kick to the Skull of the Champ, sending him crashing down to the mat. Cosmo pops to his feet, the energy really beginning to surge through him as he hypes himself up.
Cosmo lifts up Xavier, tossing him into the corner and follows up with a body splash that stuns the champion, leaving him dazed in the corner. The challenger lifts Xavier up onto the top buckle and begins to climb up, landing a few punches at the top. He goes to lock up with Xavier, but the champ sounds off with a few punches to the abdomen. He is able to daze and stun Cosmo as he begins to stand up on the top turnbuckle and lifts up Cosmo and then jumps off the top rope, landing The ‘Love’ Shot from the top rope, immediately going for the pin.
ONE...
TWO...
Rope Break!
Cosmo’s leg can be seen resting on the bottom rope. Xavier sits up looking a little displeased as he slowly gets to his feet, bringing Cosmo up with him. Xavier goes to whip him into the ropes, but Cosmo reverses right into The Gold Mine. As the move lands, Cosmo just lies there, motionless on top of the head and shoulders of Xavier, who is still face down. Both men stay down as the referee comes in trying to get them to show signs of still being able to compete. Neither man seems ready to respond, so the referee begins to count.
1!
2!
Cosmo begins to stir, slowly rolling over to his stomach. He at first tries to roll Xavier over, but can’t.
3!
4!
Cosmo slowly begins to get to his feet, but isn’t able to get all the way up just yet.
5!
6!
Cosmo fully gets up and stumbles over to a corner and leans his back into it, motioning to the referee to keep counting.
7!
Xavier begins to stir, slowly pushing himself up.
8!
The Champ stands up, hunched over as the referee makes his way towards him.
9!
Xavier stands all the way up and the referee checks on him and decides to fully stop the count. The two men look across at one another, both men not sure where to go from here. Cosmo seems stunned that Xavier is even able to stand up and Xavier can be seen looking as if he didn’t know what it is going to take to beat this man across from him.
Watson: I don't know that this match will ever end! This title means so much to both of them!
Sydney: Fight Forever as the cool kids are saying these days!
Both men stagger toward the center of the ring, Reid steps back to wind up for a chop but finds himself surprised with a bitch slap from Cosmo. The strike staggers Reid back and holds his head back more in surprise than from the impact of the slap itself. Both men tie up and begin trading rapid blows. The crowd cheers it on with neither man giving up ground, but eventually Xavier overpowers Cosmo and whips Cosmo into the ropes. Reid lines up a rebounding Cosmo for a Beastslayer! WAIT! Cosmo holds onto the ropes and Reid catches nothing but air. He crashes hard into the mat, Cosmo capitalizes and quickly closes the distance and goes for another Gold Mine!
Meanwhile, during all of this, the crowd watching the match with bated breath turn to a torrent of boos when a large man with a bushy beard and an ill-fitting El Pablo mask leaps over the barricade and grabs a distracted Bunny Love from behind! She screams in shock and fights against the hold, but the much larger and much stronger man drags Bunny away from the ring and toward the ramp with the same ease one would have with carrying a dumbbell.
Watson: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!
SYDNEY: SOMEBODY GET SECURITY OUT HERE NOW BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENS TO BUNNY!
Back in the ring, Cosmo gets Xavier into position for the Gold Mine, but hesitates at the sight at the ramp. “WHAT THE HELL!?” Shouts Cosmo with his whole chest. The referee takes notice and steps towards the ropes to shout at the masked man to let Bunny go. With the referee distracted, and seemingly unaware of his lover’s mortal danger, Reid hits a distracted Cosmo with a low blow! The strike knocks the air out of Cosmo’s sails and the physical air from his body. The Fighting Spirit Champion keels forward grabbing at his groin in pain. Reid shifts his grip and rolls Cosmo up in a pin! Schoolboy!
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
Starr: And your winner, AND! STILL! THE UNDISPUTED CHAMPION, via pinfall… XAVIER REID!
Cosmo curls into the fetal position and wheezes for air. Xavier Reid is sitting up and looks for the referee to raise his hand in victory, but finds they darted off to handle something outside of the ring. Xavier’s look of relief and exhaustion falls from his face like a bag of bricks. Chris Brock, and several executives and security surround the masked man, but stop just a foot away. Through the horde of bodies, and the mask that is a size too small, the man flashes a sinister smile at Reid and hoists Bunny Love up with ease with an inverted suplex then drops her headfirst into the ramp in a sit-out piledriver! Midnight Driver!
Watson: LOOK OUT LOOK OUT LOOK OUT! MIDNIGHT DRIVER!
Sydney: I think I know who that is Watson! Christ I hope I'm wrong!
A wave of security flood out from the backstage and production areas, but even on the floor the man in the El Pablo mask keeps his hold on Bunny Love. Who after taking a piledriver onto the ramp, is unconscious and gushing with blood. The man props Bunny’s body up with a knee, and looks over to Reid and pulls off his mask to reveal himself to be–
Sydney: SON OF A BITCH!
It’s the LIGHT of Monday NIGHTS! JoJo Rush! Reid’s eyes went bloodshot, he crawls out of the ring and tries to throw himself at Reid but security around the ring grab Reid in an attempt to bring order to chaos. Rush keeps a close hold of Bunny to scare away the guards that circle around Rush like animal control trying to capture a stray wolf.
Watson: What the hell is JoJo doing here! What does this have to prove! Cosmo Goldworthy almost won the Undisputed Championship all on his own, and his Housemate JoJo Rush returns to EWC and ends up screwing him over to what!? Attack a defenseless Bunny Love!?
Reid’s seen enough and he practically throws himself out of the ring and lunges through security in a desperate bid to get his hands on JoJo. With a hand dripping with Bunny’s blood, JoJo draws an “X” right on his forehead and rises to his feet with his arms out wide. For once, instead of fighting, JoJo willingly and seemingly happily surrenders himself to the security. The guards pause in confusion, more than certainly expecting a fight from JoJo but they drag him away with ease. He tauntingly waves a scarred hand at Reid who’s clawing at Security like a feral beast, but the wall of black shirts separate Reid from JoJo. Chris Brock is following the guards, his face blistering red and shouting all sorts of threats at JoJo, fines, suspensions, firings, WAIT!
Sydney: It’s Ibuki Ito! Danny and Deimos from 3pAC! The Love Club is out in full force and they're leading paramedics to Bunny!
Watson: If Chris Brock doesn’t get things under control Syd, this arena is going to break down into a full-blow riot!
The Love Club blitzes through security. Danny & Deimos wade through security using their famous crowbars to create an opening for Ibuki Ito to press forward a medical team hangs closely behind them as they cut through the chaos to get Bunny Love to a local medical facility! The crowd cheer as paramedics quickly get Bunny onto a stretcher and up and out through a clearing by the ramp. 3pAC and the Love Club don't have long to celebrate before Callum MacBeth, Dan Funk & Brodie Dawson of the Heat Packers leap in from the crowd and grab hold of Ito’s arm and attempt to wrestle him down. Whenever the Heat Packers are on Paramount, Next Level are right there with them! Brian Knight and Mark Paulson run down from behind the stage with chairs in hand to get in on the chaos. In the midst of this chaos, Reid manages to break free of the guards restraining him and rushes at JoJo before getting caught once again! The cops errantly crash through drunken fans in the arena, causing them to turn against the cops! It’s full-blown pandemonium!
Sydney: Another night, another main event turned upside down because of the House! Xavier Reid’s veteran instincts allowed him to take advantage of the chaos, but there’s no way he can celebrate victory tonight! When the champ gets his hands on JoJo, there'll be hell to pay! But Jesus Chris! Somebody call in the National Guard!
Watson: We are running out of time and quite frankly Syd we need to get out of here before these lunatics tear down the Mosaic Stadium! Cheese it! SHIT!
Sydney and Watson hurriedly throw off their headphones and attempt to escape through the back. The camera fades to black on security and police dragging Xavier Reid and JoJo Rush away from one another in the midst of a riot.
