(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of last week’s Showdown. TLA comes out celebrating his chance at Pain for Pride for the Answers World Championship, with Ms. Extreme coming out as well and the two having a very respectful conversation, Kennedy comes out to make it officially official and the two end up in a stare-off. ARIA defeats Clayton Golde and Usagi Senshi to qualify for the Cash in the Vault match. KASAI talks about her next challenger for the belt before out of nowhere, she gets attacked by Usagi Senshi who vies to be that next challenger. Mattias Burke defeats Vinnie Calvetti. Pandora, Halsey and Daryl come out with Pandora and Halsey once again calling out Kassidy and Sienna for a tag title shot, but Kelton comes out to interrupt them, who is not letting them off the hook so easily but out of every one of them, he wants to settle things with Daryl Kinkade, and so the two of them agree on a match at Pain for Pride under British Strong Style Rules. Kennedy makes some plans with Alana for the rest of the Showdown roster. Auburn Ware defeats Daniella Atlas to get the chance to fight Madison Kaline at Pain for Pride, and of course, Madison attacks and lays out Auburn after. Terry Chambers complains with Kennedy about everything that has happened to him, with Kirk and Scott coming in as well on that and she decides to let the three of them fight with each other in a triple threat at Pain for Pride. Adam Lucas talks about what happened at Fighting Spirit, heartbroken and confused on why Bethany attacked him, before he decides he is going to come and find her one way or another. Princess Candice defeats Damien Kutcher and Ashlynn Quinn to qualify for the Cash in the Vault match. Solomon Stane asks Caroline directly on why she interfered on his match and cost him the opportunity to be World Champion, with Caroline appearing and explaining that she did not forgive so easily his failed attempt at Grand Rampage of not winning their match, the two of them get in a brawl with Solomon chokeslamming Caroline through the ring and Solomon ends up challenging Caroline at Pain for Pride to a Buried Alive match, with Caroline disappearing when the lights went out. And on the main event, Miku Sakai versus Raven Roberts ends in a no contest after Veena interferes in the match, and due to that, Kennedy comes out to make it so that Veena has to face both Miku and Raven now for her championship at Pain for Pride.)
(The recap ends, and it is replaced with the song “Brick Wall” by a Day to Remember, as the camera pans around the inside of the The Mitchell Center in Mobile, Alabama. Fireworks are shooting out of the stage and the whole crowd can be seen cheering and being excited for the show. The camera ends up panning over to the commentary table with Deadprez, Eve and Gavin Kirkland as the commentators.)
Eve: WELCOME EVERYONE… TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!!!
Deadprez: WE ARE ALMOST THREE WEEKS AWAY NOW FROM PAIN FOR PRIDE WITH EVERYONE AND EVERYBODY PUNCHING THEIR TICKET AND THEIR PATH TO ONE OF THE BIGGEST SHOWS IN EAW!
Eve: But for today, we have a lot of matches to go through, we will see KASAI go up against Madison Kaline, a preview of the 24/7 Battle Royale, as we will see Hardcore Luna, Daniella Atlas, Damien Kutcher, Ashlynn Quinn, Clayton Golde, Mattias Burke and Nikki Kimura face off in this match, as well as Pandora Paisley and Halsey Neel fighting against the “can they co-exist?!” duo of Scott Diamond and Kirk Redwood.
Deadprez: And big money matches in these last two, TLA goes up against Jon Kelton and in the main event, Ms. Extreme faces off against Daryl Kinkade! Wait a second!
(‘Be Legendary’ by Pop Evil hits over the PA, and an entire arena jumps to their feet in anticipation of Adam Lucas walking through the curtain.)
Gavin Kirkland: LET’S NOT WAIT ANY LONGER! LET’S START OFF WITH THE NEWLY DIVORCED, ADAM LUCAS, HAHA!
Deadprez: It’s already been a raucous few weeks… anyone would think we were on the road to the biggest night in the wrestling calendar.
Eve: Everyone wants to be a part of that show Prez… it’s no surprise that everyone has taken it up a notch. Except for Gavin of course
Gavin Kirkland: When you get to my level of expertise Eve, I don’t have anywhere else to go. You can’t top…
Deadprez: I think we half expected Adam to show up tonight, especially after what his wife Bethany said on Voltage last week. It must have been like a dagger to the heart for the former Answers World Champion.
Gavin Kirkland: You’ve got to laugh, haven’t you? Just a few months ago, he was on top of the world. Now, it looks like he doesn’t even have a place on the Pain for Pride card. Couldn’t happen to a better person if you ask me.
Eve: No one asked you Gavin.
(The arena pops, as Adam walks through the curtain, not even stopping to take in the reaction. He walks straight down the ramp and to the ring, his eyes only focused on that and nothing else.)
Deadprez: This is a totally different side to Adam Lucas, one who seems to have lost himself, and that is all down to Dr. Bethany Blue’s actions. It’s like she has stripped him all the way back to the bare bones… to rebuild him maybe?
Eve: I think you are giving her too much credit. What she has done to him is heartless, that’s her husband for Christ’s sake.
Gavin Kirkland: I know, brilliant, isn’t it?
(Adam reaches the ring and takes a mic from a crew member, before climbing up the steps and entering the ring. He then stands dead center, his eyes piercing down the camera lens as his music fades. Once it is quiet bar the reaction of a few fans that try to get his attention, he brings the mic to his lips.)
Adam Lucas: Apparently, this is what is ‘best’ for me. This is what needs to happen for me to understand the person that I ‘have’ to be to succeed here in EAW. I mean, I was the PURE Champion, and in turn Hardcore, I was a beaten finalist in the King of Elite 2022, before then going on to win that title in 2023. I main evented Pain for Pride, winning the Answers World Championship and retaining it for seven months… but THIS is what I need? I need the love of my life to only want to speak to me when she has a CAMERA IN HER FACE!!!
(Adam lowers his head, looking at the mat and closing his eyes as the fans react in shock to the animosity behind his words.)
Deadprez: Wow… this is intense.
Eve: It’s no surprise he’s reacting this way after her performance on Voltage.
Gavin Kirkland: She only spoke the truth.
Eve: She pretty much called him a puss* on live television Gavin.
Gavin Kirkland: Like I said. The truth.
Adam Lucas: I’ve tried to contact you Beth, so that we can talk like husband and wife should. I’ve messaged you, even wrote emails, direct messages, I’ve tried everything. But then without a word to me, you step into this very ring on Voltage and say that you love me? You care for me when no one else does? No Beth, you’re destroying me. You’re destroying the man who is supposed to mean more to you than ANYTHING else, including this business. I didn’t marry Dr. Bethany Blue… that was a side of you that came as part of the package. I married Bethany, the woman I never thought could do to me what you did at Fighting Spirit, when you embarrassed me in front of the eyes of the world. In front of fans who have stuck by me through thick and thin. And why did you do that? I can’t be sure seeing as you won’t speak to me but going off your little performance at Voltage. You did it, because apparently you know what is ‘best’ for me. Well, guess what Beth, the more this goes on, the more I realize, YOU DON’T. You want me to go back to a person I once was, a person who I know you’d admit, you wouldn’t have even looked twice at when we started our relationship all those years ago. You want to prove that you truly do care for me Beth, stop with the bullsh*t, and bring yourself out here. Before you do more damage than you already have.
(Adam turns towards the entrance way, his stoic expression not changing as the seconds pass by with no appearance from Dr. Bethany Blue. As the time passes, he starts to nod, and then slides out of the ring.)
Gavin Kirkland: Oh, it looks like Adam is doing what Adam does best and is bailing from the situation.
Deadprez: I wouldn’t be so sure Gavin; he’s coming over here.
(Adam makes a beeline for the announce table, before dragging Gavin off his chair and throwing him to the floor.)
Deadprez: Oh my God… Adam, what are you doing!?
(Adam folds the chair and then throws it into the ring, paying no heed to Gavin’s protestations and then slides under the bottom rope.)
Eve: Did you see his eyes, Prez?
(Gavin puts his headset on and stands at the table.)
Gavin Kirkland: What is his problem! I’m going to sue that asshole. He could have had any other chair, how come he had to assault me.
Eve: I got to admit, it was funny… but it was also uncalled for.
(Back in the ring, Adam has set up the chair, and sits down on it.)
Adam Lucas: OK, if this is the way it’s got to be. I’m sorry Showdown, but I’m not going anyway until I see my wife.
Deadprez: Well folks, it looks like we have a sit-down protest, and Adam is getting a mixed reaction from these fans.
Eve: They care about him and what he is going through, but they paid to see competition, not someone sitting having a strop in the middle of the ring.
Deadprez: I must agree Eve, I don’t think this is the way.
Gavin Kirkland: And neither do these guys apparently.
(The crowd boos as four members of the security team make their way down the ramp and towards the ring, surrounding it as Adam gets up to his feet.)
Gavin Kirkland: See, that didn’t take long, did it?
(Security slides into the ring, and then surrounds Adam, who holds up his hands, not wanting any trouble.)
Gavin Kirkland: And just like that, the protest is over. Adam Lucas Ladies and Gentlemen, our resident pus…
Deadprez: Oh my God…NO.
(Adam throws a right hand at one of the security team knocking him backwards, as the other grabs him from behind. A third runs in, and Adam leaps up, mule kicking him through the ropes and to the outside of the ring. Adam then throws his head back, butting the security guard and busting his nose open, as the fourth runs in, Adam monkey flipping him straight into his colleague, the two of them falling to the ringside area. The first man he hits then tries again, but Adam drops him with a superkick, the ring cleared in an instance to a roar from the crowd. Adam looks around at the crowd and then right the chair which had gotten knocked over, and then takes a seat.)
Gavin Kirkland: This is deplorable. Who the hell does he think he is?
Deadprez: I get what he is going through, but there is no excuse for this. None.
Eve: There’s going to be some big fines off the back of this you can be sure.
Deadprez: We’re headed into a commercial break now guys… hopefully we can get this sorted before we return.
(Showdown fades to a commercial break as things are chaotic.)
(We return from the commercial, and the scene immediately goes to Adam who is still sitting in the middle of the ring, the security team heading back through the curtain.)
Deadprez: Well folks, during the break, the security team attempted once more to remove Adam, but the result was the same. I apologize… this was not the way we expected this show to go.
(A mixed reaction from the fans occurs as this time official members of the management team head down the ramp, Adam just shaking his head.)
Gavin Kirkland: Here we go… this is over and about time too.
(Adam gets to his feet and raises the mic to his lips.)
Adam Lucas: I’m warning you… anyone steps in this ring, and you’ll regret it.
(The officials reach the bottom of the ramp and have a conversation.)
Eve: He wouldn’t, surely. These are part of the EAW Management team. He could get fired for this.
Deadprez: I am afraid to say I don’t believe he cares. He does this, he can forget Pain for Pride.
(One of the officials breaks away, and then starts to climb the steps.)
Adam Lucas: Last chance…
(The official doesn’t seem to care, and even with the warning, enters the ring.)
Deadprez: LOOK AT ADAMS FACE!!!
(A look of pure volatility fills Adam’s face as he grabs the official and drags him into the center of the ring. His colleagues for a moment think about entering but decide better as Adam glares at them.)
Deadprez: Don’t do it Adam. Please.
(Adam by now doesn’t care about the fans pleading, in fact he cannot hear them. All he knows is that Beth still isn’t there. In one swift movement, he locks in the Triangle Choke, choking the life out of the official, giving the others no choice but to rush the ring. One of them tries to grab Adam, who releases the hold long enough for his victim to escape too ringside. Furious with this, Adam picks up the chair and folds it as the officials scatter. He swings it, barely missing smashing one of them in the skull and potentially doing permanent damage.)
Deadprez: This is horrible to watch folks… Adam Lucas simply doesn’t care anymore.
Gavin Kirkland: But isn’t this exactly what Dr. Bethany Blue wanted from him?
Eve: You know something Gavin, you might be right.
Deadprez: Security haven’t removed him; the officials can’t remove him…
(The fans roar, as Kennedy Street walks through the curtain, with Alana by her side. Alana looks furious, but Kennedy seems to be a bit more sympathetic to his plight. Adam just scowls at her and seems to be almost daring her to enter the ring as well, but she stays safe at the top of the ramp, raising the mic.)
Kennedy Street: I get it Honey, you’re angry. I can see it in your face, you’d love me to come down there and do what you’ve done to members of my team wouldn’t you?
(Adam sneers, and to the shock of the crowd nods his head.)
Gavin Kirkland: You stay right there Kennie… he’s a madman.
Kennedy Street: I’m not going to do that Adam. Kennie isn’t stupid. And you’re not stupid either. You’ve already amassed quite the fine…
Adam Lucas: I DON’T CARE…
Kennedy Street: No, you DO CARE! But you must understand that I can’t allow this to continue, and you hold a show you are supposed to love to ransom. What about these fans huh? Do you think they paid to see Adam Lucas go all emo?
Adam Lucas: I don’t ca…
(He stops himself… he did care about the fans, and for the first time, their reaction registers with him, and his face slightly softens.)
Kennedy Street: Exactly. I know you’re still in there Adam, the guy who carried the Answers World Championship for seven months is still in there. I’m going to ask you nicely. PLEASE. Leave the ring so that we can continue the show.
(Adam lowers the mic and looks out over the crowd who chants his name. He takes the deepest of breaths, and then looks up at Kennedy’s face looking down at him. For a moment it looks like the standoff is over, but then he brings the mic up and says just one word with as much venom as he can muster.)
Adam Lucas: NO!!!
(Another mixed reaction fills the arena, but this one probably contains more boos than before.)
Deadprez: Some of these fans are turning on him.
Eve: Still, he doesn’t care. He only cares about one thing right now, and that’s his wife coming down here. She’s the only one who could get him to stand down, but where is she?
Adam Lucas: You think you can stand up there, all condescending and tell me to leave. Do you think I’ve forgotten how it was YOU, who made me face my wife over Voltage. SCREW YOU. You want to be useful, find my wife and bring her out here, otherwise, go to the back and file your nails or something. Better still, why don’t you and Alana go back to your office and enjoy some of your rumored ‘personal’ time together. I bet Alana would like that.
Deadprez: WHOA!!! Now that was too far!
Eve: ……
Gavin Kirkland: Is that true? Is there footage?
(Kennedy maintains her smile somehow, as Adam paces the ring.)
Kennedy Street: OK Honey, I see that you are not going to listen to reason. I wanted to understand what you were going through and try to help. Kennie is after all a generous soul, but now you give me no choice.
(Adam looks puzzled, not sure what is coming next but gets ready.)
Gavin Kirkland: Going to be AJAX obviously…
Kennedy Street: Officers… arrest that man.
(Kennedy points to the ring, and six cops in uniform start walking to the ring with batons and tasers ready to be used. Boos ring out, the crowd not wanting Adam to be arrested.)
Gavin Kirkland: HAHA, this brilliant. The fall from grace for Adam Lucas shows no sign of stopping. He’s about to spend a night in the cells.
(Adam looks up, not sure what to make of this, before raising the mic.)
Adam Lucas: Not today, Kennedy.
(Adam slides out the ring, and makes his way through the crowd, the cops breaking out into a sprint as they chase him through the masses.)
Deadprez: Adam deciding to get out of dodge, and I can’t say I blame him. Imagine if he’d assaulted a police officer, his troubles would have gotten a lot worse.
Eve: As it is, you must wonder what the repercussions are going to be from this, and also, was Bethany watching with a smile on her face. Like Gavin said, is this what she wanted all along?
(The camera pans away from the chase, and back to Kennedy.)
Kennedy Street: Apologies everyone. On with the show.
(Kennedy and Alana leave to the back in discussions over what had just happened.)
Deadprez: I’m almost in disbelief here… I would have never expected Adam Lucas to be capable of what I’ve just witnessed.
Gavin Kirkland: Hey, I reckon I could get on board with this guy. I feel dirty saying that.
Eve: I dread to think what damage he has done, but I’m sure it won’t be too long till we find out. Will Bethany respond on Voltage? You’ve got to think so.
Gavin Kirkland: Oh, for sure… and I for one can’t wait.
(Showdown cuts to another commercial break as order is trying t5o be restored.)
(As the show comes back from a commercial, the camera focuses on Gina Romano and the introductions to the first match.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SET FOR ONE-FALL!
(‘Toxic’ by Britney Spears blasts through the speakers as Madison Kaline walks out onto the stage. There is a lovely mix of the boos and cheers that seem to align with the music. Madison of course, doesn’t pay it any mind, instead looking at Auburn Ware who is ringside for this contest.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM TAMPA BAY, FLORIDA…WEIGHING IN AT 120 POUNDS…SHE IS THE “MISTRESS OF DEATH”…MADISON KALINE!
(Madison gets to the ring and climbs up onto the apron. She stares down Auburn Ware at ringside and waves at her to taunt her. Even as she gets in the ring, her eyes keep going back to Ware. They snap to the stage however as ‘KARATE’ by BABYMETAL now begins to play. KASAI enters onto the stage with the crowd more on her side. There are still some lingering boos, but clearly the champion is favored here.)
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT…FROM AMANI, KAGOSHIMA, JAPAN…WEIGNING IN AT 145 POUNDS…THE EAW SPECIALIST’S CHAMPION…SHE IS ‘THE HUNTRESS’…KKKKKAAAASSSAIIIIII!
(KASAI rolls inside the ring and holds the championship high in the air. At the same time, she gets right into Madison’s face, looking at her opponent like a wolf on the hunt. The ref separates the pair and calls for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: And here we go folks! The match is underway! RIGHT OFF THE BAT KASAI KICKS MADISON RIGHT ACROSS THE CHEST! She then delivers a swift kick into her stomach, sending her against the ropes! Madison tries to recover, but KASAI is already relentless as the match begins! She clothesline her the top rope, sending her out of the ring! This is starting out hot here and I don’t know if Madison is going to turn the tables!
Eve: I DON’T KNOW EITHER! KASAI COMES CRASHING DOWN ON HER WITH A TOPE SUICIDA! That was a more than impressive maneuver from the Specialist’s Champion! KASAI forces her back to her feet…KNEE LIFT! Quick and precise, Madison Kaline stumbles into the barricade! She falls into a seated position and KASAI is liking this opening! She takes a running start…AND SHE LOOKS FOR THE HIP ATTACK IN THE CORNER! MADISON IS ABLE TO AVOID IT AT THE LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT! KASAI smashes right into the corner and this might just what Kaline needs!
Gavin Kirkland: The Mistress of Death grabs her opponent and smashes her face right off the apron! She throws Kasai back inside the ring! KASAI is barely able to stand here, but Madison wants to take her right back off her feet! She rushes over to her opponent, going for the M.O.D this early in the match! KASAI is able to avoid it and grabs Kaline from behind! Madison Kaline isn’t thrilled with whatever idea her opponent has in mind, so she gets her with an elbow right in the jaw! She creates some distance between her and her opponent!
Deadprez: She quickly shortens that distance, snatching her opponent up and dropping her on her head with a massive german suplex! KASAI rolls into the corner, where Kaline looks to follow up with more offense! DROP KICK ON HER KASAI! That was a massive impact courtesy of Madison Kaline! And look at her right now! She is gloating here! Maybe she should be after surviving that early onslaught from the champ! Madison drags her opponent to the middle of the ring, setting up for the lionsault! She goes to the run for the ropes…BUT KASAI GRABS HER ANKLE!
Eve: This only serves to infuriate Kaline! She turns around and stomps directly on the head of her opponent! She just keeps going until KASAI doesn’t seem like she’ll be able to react! And now she heads to the ropes….AND HERE COMES THE LIONSAULT! KASAI IS ABLE TO GET THE KNEES UP! MADISON LANDS RIGHT ON TOP OF THEM, HER MOVE BEING USED AGAINST HER! KASAI gets right back up and delivers a spinning leg drop! The Huntress isn’t satisfied yet, grabbing Madison and dragging her back to a vertical base!
Gavin Kirkland: She takes hold of your arm, something that you always want to keep out of KASAI’s reach! DOUBLE KNEE ARMBREAKER! She drives both of her knees right into the arm of Kaline, sending her reeling in pain! KASAI continues her plan, grabbing the arm again and wrenching it! MADISON SLAPS HER RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE! She was hoping to escape the hold but KASAI just looks back at her with a smile! SHE PULLS HER IN FOR AN ARM-BAR! She manages to lock it in and Madison Kaline is left desperately trying to escape!
Deadprez: She reaches out towards the ropes, but she’s inches away! KASAI slams a foot right down on her in an effort to dissuade her! Madison is a contentious mood tonight! She reaches out and grabs the ropes, forcing the break! KASAI rolls off her opponent, but looks to get back on the attack immediately! SHE LOOKS FOR A SPINNING ELBOW! Madison is able to duck right under it, grabbing her opponent from behind! GERMAN SUPLEX! KASAI herself now grabs onto the ropes, preventing Kaline from dropping her on her head again! BUT MADISON DROPS HER FACE FIRST ONTO THE ROPES INSTEAD!
Eve: You can see her head snap off the ropes and that is the type of “creative offense” that Madison is willing to employ in order to win! You can see now her confidence being restored! She takes another moment to gloat before bringing her opponent back up once again! HERE COMES A SUPLEX! KASAI tries to fight back, but Madison isn’t having any of that! SHE LIFTS HER UP…AND DROPS HER NOW STOMACH FIRST ON THE ROPES! Once again, using the ring to her full-advantage in order to keep an edge on KASAI! She pulls her off and then looks for a suplex one more time! This time it connects! And now we see the first cover of the match!
ONE!
TW-
Gavin Kirkland: KASAI manages to get her shoulder up before the two! It seems like there is plenty of fight left in her! Madison, maintaining her composure, goes to the top rope! She turns her back on her opponent, which can only mean that she wants to connect with that devastating Maddie Bomb! BUT KASAI ROLLS OUT OF THE RING! Madison is about to take flight, but she looks over her shoulder before she makes that fatal error! She sees KASAI on the outside…SO SHE LEAPS OFF WITH THE CROSSBODY!
Eve: KASAI GETS HER WITH A DROPKICK IN MID-AIR! Once again, able to counter that high-flying offense from The Mistress of Death! KASAI grabs her opponents arm and brings it over to the corner post! She pulls it through the opponent…AND BRINGS HER OPPONENT STRAIGHT INTO THE POLE! SHE KEEPS SLAMMING MADISON SHOULDER FIRST INTO IT! The ref is finally telling her that she needs to cut it out, but the damage to the shoulder has already been done! I mean, she might have pulled it out of the socket there! KASAI gets Madison back inside the ring…AND LOCKS IN THE BUTTERFLY LOCK! Now she is applying the pressure to both arms of Madison!
Deadprez: This is a precarious predicament to be in! Madison could be forced to tap out here! I mean, there is nowhere for her to go! MADISON IS ABLE TO PUSH HER ONTO HER BACK! SHE ROLLS FORWARD INTO A COVER!
ONE!
TWO!
Gavin Kirkland: She manages to kick out and quickly gets back to her feet! Madison makes an attempt at the dropkick, but KASAI is able to avoid it! She grabs her opponent right off the mat and spikes her face-first into the mat with a DDT! KASAI isn’t looking for the cover quite yet, instead she makes her own climb up the top rope! She’s about to do what Madison hasn’t been able to during this match! SHE GOES FLYING OFF THE TOP ROPE! FLYING KNEE DROP RIGHT ON THE CHEST! I think I felt her sternum crack from over here! KASAI now goes for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Eve: MADISON KICKS OUT! That was almost it for her there! Unfortunately, being down like this is still a bad spot to be in! KASAI picks her back and sends him into the corner with a kick! She wraps her opponents now around the ropes, leaving Madison trapped! SHE KICKS HER RIGHT ACROSS THE CHEST! AND ANOTHER! AND NOW SHE’S JUST TEEING OFF, DELIVERING KICK AFTER KICK! The ref is forced to step in here and I don’t think that’s the last time we’ll see that tonight! Madison collapses out of the corner, but manages to catch herself on her knee!
Deadprez: KASAI leaps back onto the middle rope! She waits for Madison to turn back around…AND HERE COMES THE HURRICARANA! MADISON CATCHES HER! SHE TRIES TO LIFT UP KASAI FOR THE POWERBOMB BUT HER ARM CAN’T HANDLE IT! Instead she improvises, bringing over to the ropes…AND TRYING TO SLINGSHOT KASAI INTO IT! KASAI is able to catch herself, lessening the impact! She manages to pull herself onto apron! Madison is back on her feet as well and she swings on KASAI! KASAI CATCHES HER ARM…AND LOCKS IN THE ARMBAR ON THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: Once again, the official is forced to intervene, giving KASAI to the count of five to release the hold! She drops it at the four and Madison pulls herself away! KASAI has viciously targeted that arm during this match, which could take away that Afterlife from Kaline’s arsenal! And now the champion is looking to fly once again, hopping up on the ropes! BUT MADISON SHOVES HER LEGS OUT FROM UNDERNEATH! KASAI CRASHES DOWN HARD ON THE MAT! KASAI is back up, but I don’t think she knows where she is here after that impact! Madison however knows darn well where she is! Kaline uses the ropes to build up some speed…AND SHE CUTS KASAI DOWN WITH A SPEAR!
Eve: She was careful there, using her other shoulder to take her opponent down! And now she goes back…AND COMES DOWN WITH A LIONSAULT! This time KASAI doesn’t have the wherewithal to counter! The timing could not be any better now! Madison Kaline brings her back to her feet and brings her over to the corner! She grabs her by the head, and steps up onto the turnbuckle! TORNADO DDT! Madison clutches on her shoulder, but she is feeling better than ever right now! She is standing tall here! Madison Kaline puts her ego in check however and looks for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
T-
Deadprez: KASAI gets her shoulder up and Madison can’t believe it! I hardly can either after that string of offense from Kaline! Madison however has lost it here! She’s getting in the face of the referee, telling him that there was no way that she didn’t just get a three count! He tries to explain it to her, but she delivers a series of mean-spirited personal attacks! She turns back to KASAI and drags her back to a standing position! SHE BRINGS HER IN FOR A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! KASAI GETS HER WITH AN ELBOW TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD INSTEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: She shoves Madison away…BUT MADISON COMES AT HER WITH ANOTHER SPEAR! KASAI is able to stop her in her tracks and she brings her elbow down in the back of her opponent! She throws her into the ropes and gets her with the tilt-a-whirl backbreaker off the rebound! Kaline goes down! KASAI waits for her to back to her feet AND SPIKES HER INTO THE MAT WITH THE FRANKENSTEINER! MADISON PULLS HER HEAD BACK AND AVOIDS IT! She grabs her opponent from behind…GERMAN SUPLEX!
Eve: KASAI IS ABLE TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT! She lands on her feet and catches herself in the corner! MADISON RUSHES AT HER! KASAI raises her foot and kicks her right in the shoulder! Madison cries out in pain and it’s about to get a whole worse for her! SHE GRABS HER BY THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND GETS HER WITH A NECKBREAKER! KASAI keeps control of her opponent and brings her back to her feet! SHE PICKS HER UP AND SHE GETS HIM WITH THE MEGATSUNAMI! This has to the be end here as KASAI goes for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-
Deadprez: NO! MADISON GETS HER SHOULDER UP! I can’t believe she kicked out of that one! KASAI isn’t about to waste any time here! She once again seizes the arm of her Kaline and tries for another submission! With her free arm, Madison is able to grab onto the ropes and pull herself to safety! The ref separates them once again! KASAI pushes past him to get at her opponent…BUT MADISON SLAPS HER ACROSS THE FACE! THERE WAS POWER BEHIND THAT ONE! Kaline is back on her feet and she takes KASAI down with a hurricanrana!
Gavin Kirkland: Once again, Madison Kaline makes her way up to the top rope! Could we see the Maddie Bomb actually connect? NO! KASAI still is able to stand and she walks over to the corner! She starts throwing hands with her opponent…AND THEN SHE USES TO THE ROPES TO KICK HER RIGHT IN THE SKULL! And now KASAI climbs up after her opponent! She keeps throwing fists, trying to keep her down! AND NOW HERE COMES THE FLYING JESTER!
Eve: MADISON KALINE SHOVES HER RIGHT OFF THE TOP ROPE! KASAI MAKES A NASTY COLLISION WITH THE MAT! Madison Kaline now has the perfect chance to put this away! AND SHE GOES FOR IT! MADDIE BOMB! IT CONNECTS! COVER!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Deadprez: KASAI IS ABLE TO KICK OUT! MADISON CAN’T BELIEVE IT! She flips over onto her opponent and starts smashing her head off the mat! Madison crawls off of her opponent and makes her way to the corner! She is stalking her opponent, waiting for her to get back up! KASAI slowly rises, still seemingly stunned! AND NOW MADISON CHARGES AT HER! AFTERLIFE! BUT THE HUNTRESS LUNGES FORWARD AND NEARLY TAKES HER OPPONENT’S HEAD OFF WITH A SUPERKICK!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE PULLS HER BACK IN AND ROCKS HER WITH A SPINNING ELBOW! Madison falls to the mat, possibly knocked out! KASAI however wants to wake her back up! She grabs her arm once again and LOCKS IN THE SCISSORED ARMBAR! MADISON HOWLS IN PAIN! BUT KASAI SEEMS TO BE ENJOYING THIS! She wants to send a message heading into Pain for Pride, one that reads: “dont mess with me”! Madison Kaline once again is able to pull herself to the ropes, forcing the break! KASAI TRIES TO DRAG BACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!
Eve: MADISON SHOVES HER AWAY AND GETS BACK TO HER FEET! SHE LUNGES AT HER OPPONENT WITH A SPEAR! KASAI STEPS TO THE SIDE AND MADISON TAKES OUT THE REF! Madison looks confused, but still looks to carry on here! SHE TURNS AROUND INTO THE URAI’S CURSE! Cover by KASAI!
Deadprez: Without an official to count, there isn’t even a point! KASAI gets off of her opponent and starts trying to wake the referee up! It seems that spear really took it out of him! Wait a second here folks…Madison Kaline is beginning to crawl out of the ring! The Mistress of Death manages to flee to ringside, but KASAI doesn’t notice! MADISON GRABS A STEEL CHAIR! Without a ref in play, she’s going to try to beat her opponent to a bloody pulp here!
Gavin Kirkland: Come on Madison, hit her! She’s back in the ring and KASAI is still focused on the ref! MADISON RAISED THE CHAIR TO HIT HER!
(Suddenly, someone enters the ring and takes the chair right out of her hand.)
Eve: AUBURN WARE JUST PREVENTED MADISON FROM STEALING THIS! Madison turns around to her and goes to slap her! Auburn rolls out of the ring before that can happen! She’s telling Madison to turn around but Madison is far too busy screaming at her! SHE TURNS AROUND INTO THE URAI’S CURSE! KASAI COVERS HER!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘KARATE’ by BABYMETAL begins to play as KASAI quickly stands back up and looks for her title.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…THE EAW SPECIALIST’S CHAMPION…THE “HUNTRESS”…KASAI!
Gavin Kirkland: Auburn aware had no business getting involved like that! This is why we shouldn’t even allow wrestlers at ringside anymore! Madison Kaline had KASAI dead to rights!
Eve: Both elitists fought hard tonight Gavin, but let’s not forget that Madison was trying to resort to cheating here! Auburn just evened the odds, allowing KASAI to get a fair win! Whether you like it or not, KASAI is your winner!
(KASAI gets her title belt and begins making her way down the ramp. Auburn Ware slides back into the ring where Madison has barely begun to get back up.)
Deadprez: WARE PICKS MADISON OFF THE MAT! SHE SPIKES HER DOWN WITH THE PUMPHANDLE DRIVER! FAIRY TALE! I believe she just sent a very strong message to the Mistress of Death! Things continue to heat up on the road to Pain for Pride!
(The camera slowly fades to an ad for travel packages, only a few remaining for Orlando at Pain For Pride.)
(We panned to a long single camera shot of KASAI with her championship over her shoulder, as she walked through the curtain backstage. She had just wrapped up the difficult match against Madison Kaline, and it was glaringly prominent, KASAI took a deep breath as she grabbed a bottle of water out of some random worker’s hand.)
KASAI: I’ll pay you back in publicity!
(KASAI took a long chug of the water as she continued to walk and the camera followed her. She let out a nice breath of fresh air..)
KASAI: That.. was amazing.
(KASAI poured the water bottle on herself, tossing it into the recycling bin as she then made her way out of the arena..)
KASAI: Always nice to get myself back to life after a match, it’s like rigamortis. And I gotta keep the joints loose and prepared for Pain For Pride, can’t be letting any specifics get me. HEY TAXI!
(KASAI sat in the taxi as it pulled over and stopped. She was just about to shut the door.)
KASAI: My hotel is 3 blocks down on the left, thank you.
(KASAI sat back, about to shut the door.. ONLY FOR USAGI SENSHI TO COME FLYING OUT OF NOWHERE! SHE LEAPED ONTO KASAI IN THE BACK OF THE TAXI AS THE DOOR SWUNG SHUT, BUT USAGI WAS ATTACKING HER!)
Cab Driver: What the hell is going on–
Usagi Senshi: Just drive, unless you want me to hurt you as well.
(The cab driver obliged as he continued to drive on, Usagi held Kasai and continued to punch her. The cab driver was scared sh*tless, but it didn’t stop her. She grabbed KASI and started smacking her head against the car door. And it was a really bad situation for KASAI until….)
BUMP!
(THEY HIT A CAR BUMP AND KASAI MANAGES TO KICK USAGI OFF HER AND HER HEAD AGAINST THE ROOF! With that opportunity the car came to a halt, as KASAI opened the door and hopped out.)
KASAI: What the hell, you can’t even ride a taxi around here in Alabama, what an absolute sh*t show.
(BUT SHE HAD NO TIME TO REACT, AS USAGI CAME FLYING OUT THE WINDOW AND CHASING HER! KASAI was exhausted after her match, but she began fighting back, AS USAGI PUSHED HER BACK FIRST AGAINST A BRICK WALL! The two were spilling into a dark alleyway, you could hear the trashcans rummaging as KASAI and Usagi were brawling about. In the line of sight a black cat screamed and took off running.)
Usagi Senshi: You are unable to escape my wrath, as much as I am unable to escape my destiny.
(USAGI PICKED UP A METAL TRASH CAN AND THREW IT AGAINST THE WALL AT KASAI! BUT KASAI MOVED OUT OF THE WAY! Usagi turned around– INTO A SUPERKICK FROM KASAI! Usagi stumbled down as she started to crawl away.)
KASAI: I was trying to mind my own business, you were the one who jumped in my way! All you do is crave attention, you’re like a pet.
(KASAI grabbed the foot of Usagi, but Usagi kicked back as she managed to push herself up, and then run off.)
KASAI: Usagi, where the hell are you going? I was actually somewhat having fun with what we were doing, this little chase. Oh well, I’m down for a game of hide and seek.
(KASAI charged on as she was looking for Usagi Senshi, unbeknownst to her, she had found sanction. She made her way out of the alleyway and was hiding inside of a trailer park. KASAI saw the trailer park.)
KASAI: Hmm.. If I were Usagi, would I hide in a borderline trailer park where a bunch of weirdos would be? Probably.
(KASAI walked into the trailer park… ONLY TO MEET AN ELBOW DIRECTLY TO THE HEAD! BEFORE SHE WAS CHUCKED INTO THE SIDE OF THE TRAILER!!!)
Usagi Senshi: You are making a foolish attempt at stopping me, KASAI. I am tired of watching people get the headstart over me, I am tired of watching others fail me. I am taking everything from you, I will take everything.
(USAGI KICKED KASAI BACK INTO A MAILBOX.)
Usagi Senshi: I will be the reason for all of your penultimate failures. Let me give you the greatest expression of how I have felt time and time again, with every loss.
(KASAI was dragged over to someone’s front door, where steps were on the trailer. Usagi opened KASAI’s mouth as she set her on the step. SHE WAS GONNA STOMP HER ON THE CURB. But more so, step. Holy sh*t. She held her foot on the head of KASAI, just about to do so, but then… a bright light would shine in her eyes, nearly blinding her.
Hillbilly 1: What the hell is going on here, can’t a man sleep in peace? It’s 8 pm and I gotta go check on my cows tomorrow boa.
Usagi Senshi: What?
Hillbilly 2: Hey what the? Is that 2 Spanish people fighting in our trailer park?
(Usagi was so confused and distracted by all of that, KASAI SWEPT THE FOOT OUT FROM USAGI AND THEN BROUGHT HER ON THE GROUND! That garnered a loud reaction, as multiple hicks were spilling out their trailers. Some had cell phones recording.)
Hillbilly 3: Look at this y’all I ain’t seen a cat fight like this since peepaw and meemoo got into an argument. Imma have to forward this one to auntie dene dene so she can show uncle frosty!
(KASAI was now back on her feet, as she tossed Usagi against the trailer park once! And then twice! AND THEN A THIRD TIME! Usagi continued to go shoulder first, as you can see the high degree of pain she was in. Usagi was down now, as KASAI lifted her up.)
KASAI: You ruined my night, Usagi, I really don’t appreciate that. But I’ll make a much better bank of it, by ruining yours.
(KASAI carried Usagi through the trailer park, as the hillbillies followed.)
Hillbilly 4: WHERE THEY GOING NOW? LET’S FOLLOW!
(KASAI stopped as she was standing in front of a small pond, as she was going to toss Usagi into it!)
Hillbilly 5: THEY’RE GONNA JUMP INTO THE CREEK!
(KASAI WAS ABOUT TO TOSS USAGI, BUT USAGI STARTED FIGHTING BACK! She almost knocked KASAI off the ledge but…)
SPLASH!
(USAGI AND KASAI BOTH WENT INTO THE WATER! AS THEY WERE SPLASHING ALL OVER THE PLACE FROM THE BRAWL! Between the conjunction we saw Usagi on top, and some KASAI. But Usagi was working the spots that hurt from earlier. The hillbillies were having a riot now.)
Hillbilly 6: TWIST HER HAIR!
Hillbilly 7: RIP HER TOP OFF!
(Usagi climbed onto the dirt as she grabbed KASAI and threw her on the truck bed of a hillbilly. She punched KASAI some.. but she was getting very risky here.. she suddenly.. STARTED CLIMBING A RANDOM TRAILER!!!!)
Hillbilly 8: SHE IS GONNA DO IT GUYS, SHE IS GONNA JUMP!
Group Of Hillbillies: JUMP! JUMP! JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!
(“FALL TO PIECES” FROM THE TOP OF THE TRAILER AND ONTO THE TRUCK BED! Both women lay there not moving at all, as the hillbillies just went absolutely insane.)
Group Of Hillbillies: HOLY sh*t!!
(Usagi and KASAI were out of it and not moving anymore. All the hillbillies watch on until.. Police Sirens were heard.)
Hillbilly 9: OH sh*t IT’S THE COPS, RUN!
(That was the final shot, Usagi and KASAI laying there absolutely shattered at the hillbillies scrambling away. They just destroyed the hell out of each other. As it fades to a commercial break.)
(Showdown came back from commercials as a woman stood in the middle of the ring, that being Mikaela Street, she waved hello to the crowd as people cheered for Mikaela’s presence, letting out an incredibly bright smile as she cleared her throat and spoke into the microphone.)
Mikaela Street: Hello ladies and gentlemen! I hope all of you have been enjoying the show so far! I am here right now to have a talk with the two Showdown representatives that are going to be in the Cash in the Vault match this year. Please welcome my first guest, Princess Candice Blair!
(‘Rhapsody in Pink’ by Stela Cole (Clean Version) plays on the speakers and the crowd reacts in a mixed way when it came to the princess making her way down the ramp, she slowly walked through onto the entrance ramp this time wearing a very looking sparkly dress and of course, an expensive looking crown at the top of her head as she quickly raised her arms and then did a royal wave towards the crowd.)
Gavin Kirkland: I can’t believe I am in the presence of a Princess, I feel like I am going to pass out!
Deadprez: You see her almost every week, what is so different this time?
Gavin Kirkland: She is EXTRA sparkly tonight!
Eve: Right, ignoring whatever Gavin is saying this week, despite the tumultuous season that the Princess of EAW has had dealing with a lot of people that she has deemed uh… spooky, old, and everything in between, she is looking to end this season in the highest note by going towards the Cash in the Vault match with wind to her sails!
(Princess Candice ended up sending out some kisses as well towards the crowd and continued waving before she carefully got inside the ring and then she stood beside Mikaela with a very bright smile, as Mikaela looked over and began to speak up.)
Mikaela Street: And now for my second gue-
Princess Candice: OH, I AM SO HAPPY TO BE HERE TONIGHT, MIKAELA!
Mikaela Street: Oh uh, that makes me happy to hear Candice but I-
Princess Candice: Princess Candice dear, but soon you are going to have to call me Princess Cash in the Vault when I go on to Pain for Pride and I take down that briefcase with my beautiful gloved hands!
Mikaela Street: Yeah, that is nice and all but please let me do my job to introduce-
(Princess Candice suddenly snatches Mikaela’s microphone and walks forward with that same bright smile as Mikaela lets out a sigh.)
Princess Candice: I have been fighting for FAR too long this hardeous fight at trying to achieve success in my long career, it is almost like I am at one of the roller coasters at Disney World going up and down, and around in this whirlwind of a world, I have had to go through so much hardships and obstacles to get to this point, facing off against witches, ugly witches, hags, monsters, dragons, and being thrown into the deepend hoping that my heels would weigh me down, but baby, I can swim in the water as easily as a duck, no matter what they tried to do to me to bring me down, I continued getting up, I continued fighting with the power of love, and friends, and Disney on my side and I showed that it is always good to be a Princess, and it is going to be even better being a Princess who has some gold around her waist, imagine how cute it will look with the crown in my head. I just can not wait for the best day ever to arrive and for me to finally achieve that Happily, Ever, Aft-
???: UH, HELLO?! WHERE IS MY INTRODUCTION???
(Princess Candice’s expression immediately changed and her eye started twitching a bit when she heard that voice she knew very well. ARIA came out towards the ramp without any music and the crowd quickly became ugly, once again mixed as some people did not react but some of the people started booing loudly as ARIA made her appearance and she spread her arms, showing confidence and a pep to her step after a long long time, she did not look like a hobo anymore as well, her hair spread out and cleaned, and her wearing an actual outfit from the crop top surrounded by a big blue jacket all the way down to the skirt and the expensive shoes, of course, she still had bandages all around her mouth but in her eyes there was a distinct light that you quite never saw from her before. She walked down quickly down the ramp and moved around to ringside.)
Eve: Well, it seems ARIA is not too happy about Princess Candice stealing her opportunity to talk.
Gavin Kirkland: Oh brooother, not this woman aga-
ARIA: (off-mic) Hey Gavin, I can see you flapping your gums from over here, how about you stop with your misogynistic jokes and show everyone for once why they pay you around here?
Eve: :mjlol:
Deadprez: She cooked you, I fear.
Gavin Kirkland: …why did she say f*ck me for?!
(ARIA quickly got up the steel steps and entered through the ropes with already a microphone in her hand, moving quickly and standing right in front of Princess Candice who was really trying to keep her calm having to cross paths with ARIA once more going into Pain for Pride.)
ARIA: Hiiiiiii Candice 😊
Princess Candice: Princeeeessss Candice 😁
ARIA: Whateveeeeerrrr 😆 I could not ignore the fact that you were taking away time from me to have my quick interview with Mikaela, do you not think that is rude? Having to take away her microphone like that and then not respect when it is someone else’s time to talk? I thought the point of Disney Princesses was to teach the little kids around them good deeds and how to be an actual human being!
Princess Candice: Oh, I am VERYYYY sorry!
Princess Candice: (whisper) noIamnot.
Princess Candice: About having to take time away from you, my dear detective, I just got into a passionate speech about how great it is to be in the Cash in the Vault match and how amazing it is going to feel when I eventually end up winning it for all of my fans! Which youuuu might not be very familiar with that feeling at the moment, huh?
ARIA: (whisper) Iheardthatyoulittlebitch.
ARIA: Oh yeah, then no worries then! I am always all about letting other people talk with their heart and always show how big their dreams are supposed to be but sometimes, you dream too big and you let everything else around you let your bubble burst, because sometimes, you are going to end up realizing that some people around you are going to end up achieving their dreams unlike you and you are just going to have to be forced to live an incredibly boring normal life where you are considered nothing more than just an insect in the background, and hey, that is perfectly normal! Some people find happiness on that, maybe you should do that by acting as an actual wrestler, with an actual purpose to, you know, be good at your job, just be there to be happy that you have your job in the first place and not be anything else, because that has basically been your whole career here and now you want to act different by trying to act as a Disney Princess knowing damn well all of the princesses of that brand people look up to are FICTIONAL.
Princess Candice: ARIA being a world champion is more fictional than all Disney Princesses combined! 😊
ARIA: And what won’t be fictional is the punch I am going to deliver to your face if you continue to talk to me like that. 😊
(The tension was incredibly high at this moment as it was clear that these two women did not like each other in any way, as they were talking in such a passive aggressive manner at the moment, as Mikaela blinked confused and tried to speak up.)
Mikaela Street: Hey girls, can I finally ask a question-
Princess Candice: Do not worry Mikaela, I got this. You know what, sure ARIA, I can see that you have been working hard this whole season to try and reach the point that you say you are supposed to be in, but I have gone through so much myself to now fall at the finish line when Princess Candice is so close, I… “respect” what you have done but there is no way I am going to let this opportunity pass me by after everything, you try and mock me for why I am acting as a Princess but sometimes there are people around who need help, something YOU should know, and someone they need to look up to and need guidance from, that is what being a Princess is all about, just not being someone “fictional” as you say, I have had bad luck in my wrestling career ever since I first started here in EAW and this time I am not going to let it happen again, especially when you are in my way.
ARIA: What is going to be so different this time, Candice? Putting on more makeup than normal, a fake crown, a sparkly dress, THAT is what is going to be different? I do not trust you, hell, I do not know why anybody else should trust you over me, I do not even know why you deserve to be in this spot when there are actually more capable people in this whole roster who deserve to be in that match, whenever we see you in a match like this, you always, what a surprise, LOSE! You are saying that you have some people to inspire but all you are going to do is make them sad for nothing! Do you think we need someone like you to be the one holding Cash in the Vault after what happened last year? After it got ruined and everyone let Charlie Marr steal another world championship for himself? No, I am not fighting simply for myself, I am fighting to SAVE Cash in the Vault after the horrifying incident it went through, and give it back the prestige it is supposed to have, something that YOU can not put in your shoulders and actually be able to carry. And why should everyone be able to support a gaslighting, lying and incredibly fake woman like you who does nothing but talk sh*t about me whenever I am not looking?
(ARIA stared deep into Candice’s soul with that last one as Candice did not move a single inch on her face before the very forced smile came back.)
Princess Candice: You know what? Let’s agree to disagree!
ARIA: …Yeah, sureeeeeee “Princess”! I wish you good luck in our match!
Princess Candice: Me too, byeeee!
ARIA: Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Princess Candice: BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
(And just as the two seemingly turned around and went to leave the ring, someone quickly turned over and struck the other person…)
Deadprez: A BAT?! SOMEONE GOT OUT A BAT AND HIT DOWN THE OTHER PERSON!
Eve: Huh?!
Gavin Kirkland: IT WAS THAT DAMN WOMAN OF ARIA! SHE HIT DOWN CANDICE WHEN SHE WAS NOT LOOKING!
(Everyone became shocked and confused when they saw Aria attack first, they never expected her to actually attack first in a confrontation, hell, she never did that before, and once they saw that sight, the boos suddenly ended up becoming louder as Candice laid down on the ground, confused and disoriented while Aria stood over her with a cold expression as she showed that she took out the bat from out from her jacket and she hid it this whole time, she planned to attack Candice since the very beginning!)
ARIA: (off-mic) Actuallyyyyy, on second thought? I am not done yet.
(She slowly walked over towards the crown that dropped from Candice’s head, and picked it up.)
ARIA: (off-mic) Nice crown, but share it with the poor, will you?
(ARIA throws it up… And then she hits it with the bat, sending it flying over onto the crowd as Candice basically lost her expensive crown in the sea of people-)
Deadprez: CANDICE PUSHES THROUGH THE PAIN AND TRIES TO FIGHT AGAINST ARIA, PUSHING ONTO HER AND DELIVERING BLOWS THAT END UP PUSHING BACK ARIA-
Eve: But the difficulty of fighting in a dress gets to Candice quickly! Aria goes low and she ends up stomping onto Candice’s knee, as Candice trips and falls over from her dress getting tangled up!
Gavin Kirkland: NOOOO! ARIA STRIKES CANDICE ACROSS THE JAW WITH THE BAT, NOT HER BEAUTIFUL FACE!
Eve: AND ARIA HITS HER SQUARE IN THE FACE WITH THE GOD SHATTERING STAR!
(Candice is completely knocked out as ARIA slowly stands over her, her expression not moving a single inch as she speaks down to Candice.)
ARIA: (off-mic) That was for everything that you lied to me and accused me, and there is going to be a lot more of it when I take Cash in the Vault away from you.
(ARIA slowly stepped away for a moment and she stood there right there in the middle of the ring, Mikaela who usually had a smile on her face had to step away with a worried face away from the ring, as ARIA dropped the bat and slowly spread her arms apart, she could finally feel something, she was just happy there was no more silence anymore, with Candice laid out, with the way that she acted that was uncharacteristic of her, the reaction of it all… she could feel and hear the loud boos around, but somehow, someway… it felt euphoric. And on that note, Showdown goes to commercials.)
(Showdown returns from the commercial break with Gina Romano ready to introduce the contestants for the next match.)
Gina Romano: The following is the Over The Top Rope 24/7 Battle Royal Preview matchup! This match will continue until all competitors are eliminated and only one is left standing!
( Vroom by Hoodie Allen & Connor Price is the first theme to sound, and Nikki Kimura walks out, determined. She still has a smile on her face, tagging some fans on the way down to the ring. )
Gina Romano: Introducing first, residing in West Portland, Oregon, weighing in at 120 pounds, “THE ANCHOR” NIIKKKIII KIIIMMMUURRRAAAA!
( ‘Ready Aim Fire’ by Blue Stahli hits the PA speakers and Mattias Burke charges out to the reaction, nodding to the crowd. He tags a couple on his way down, riding momentum from last week. )
Gina Romano: Next, from Liverpool, England, weighing in at 185 pounds, “THE DEVIATION” MATTIAAASSSS BUURRKKEEE!
( There’s a collective groan from the audience upon hearing “Betty (Get Money)!” by Yung Gravy, as it indicates the appearance of Clayton Golde. Golden smoke fills the stage as Golde mocks the crowd, confidently walking down. )
Gina Romano: Next, from An Undisclosed Location in Romania, weighing in at 210 pounds, CLLLAAYYTOOOONNN GOOOLLLDDDDEEEE!
( ‘Dance The Night’ by Dua Lipa is next to hit the speakers, and the fans immediately jump to the booing for the otherwise unaware Ashlynn Quinn. She plays up the crowd and flaunts herself as she gets to the ring. )
Gina Romano: Next, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 115 pounds, she is “EAW’S FAVORITE BARBIE” ASHLLYYNNNN QUUIIINNNN!
( ‘“Hard Out Here for a Pimp” by Three 6 Mafia, Paula Campbell’ plays to a sizable mixed reaction from the crowd as the energetic as always Damien Kutcher charges out from the crowd. He doesn’t hype them up, but they’re feeling it as he walks down to the ring. )
Gina Romano: Next, from Memphis, Tennessee, weighing in at 240 pounds, “MR. HUSTLE & FLOW” DAMMMIIEENNNN KKKUUTTTCCHHHERRRRR!
( Luna’s theme fades out as ‘Bloodline’ by Northlane plays. Daniella Atlas marches out from the back. Her demeanor is the complete opposite from Kutcher as she’s fixated only on getting to the ring. There’s no mixed reaction, the fans simply are just booing her. )
Gina Romano: Next, from Dunkirk, France, weighing in at 121 pounds, “THE BLACK FLAME” DANNNIEELLLLAA AATTTLLLLASSSSSSS!
( ‘Marry on a Cross’ by Ghost blares throughout the speakers as Hardcore Luna emerges from the back with a focused expression on her face. She tags many fans en route to going down to the ring. )
Gina Romano: Lastly, from Diamond Head, Hawaii, weighing in at 141 pounds, “THE DIVA OF VIOLENCE” HARRRDCOOORRREE LLLUUNNNNAAAA!
( DING DING DING! )
Eve: We’re off to the races with this match, and it’s already all out chaos! Everyone is brawling, it’s hard to pay attention to the action! Fists and feet are flying in the air as everyone is throwing huge punches and kicks, trying to take advantage in any way possible!
Gavin Kirkland: Everyone is looking for the opportunity to prove themselves! Atlas already has Luna hanging over the top rope! She’s trying to get her out– but Luna elbows her back! Luna kicks her in the ribs! Discus elbow, Atlas ducks and meets her with a headbutt! Luna falls into the corner and Atlas gets her with repeated shoulder tackles in the corner!
Deadprez: Meanwhile on the other side, Clayton Golde and Ashlynn Quinn are putting the boots to Nikki Kimura against the ropes! Nikki forearms Golde back! One to Quinn! But Golde punches her in the mouth and Quinn elbows her down! Now they’re stomping her out! Goodness!
Eve: Help is on the way as Mattias pulls Golde back and clotheslines him down! He mounts him and starts peppering him with heavy left and right punches to the mouth! Quinn and Kimura are still fighting it out against the corner!
Deadprez: And look at Damien Kutcher! He realizes that no one is fixated on him, so he simply relaxes against the ropes! I’m not gonna lie! Sound strategy! Luna knees Atlas away! She takes the head and looks for a suplex over – Atlas floats to the apron! She takes Luna and yanks her down into a hotshot! Atlas is going to the top rope, but I don’t know if that’s a good idea-
Eve: KUTCHER RUSHES OVER WITH A BOOT TO THE SIDE OF HER HEAD! Kutcher climbs the middle rope, trying to throw Atlas off! But Atlas lands on the apron! She catches Kutcher with a high kick and he slips off the top rope, stunned. Atlas enters the ring- but Kutcher cracks her with a bicycle kick!
Gavin Kirkland: Luna is lurking behind Kutcher, grabbing the waist, but he uses his power to throw her into the turnbuckles! Luna holds her back in pain… Kutcher backs up and HE FLIES INTO A STINGER SPLASH! On the other side, Ashlynn tries to irish whip Kimura but she reverses it! Ashlynn is barreling at Kutcher!
Ashlynn Quinn: (off-mic) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: KUTCHER POPS HER UP IN THE AIR! AND CATCHES HER WITH AN UPPERCUT! ASHLYNN GOES STRAIGHT TO THE MAT! MY LAWD! AND HERE COMES KIMURA CHARGING AT HIM!
Eve: Once again, he has it scouted out as he ducks under and tosses her with a flapjack! Kutcher is rocking right now! He turns around, and Atlas bounces out of the corner into a FLOAT-OVER DDT! Spikes Kutcher right into the canvas! He’s holding his head, I don’t think he knows where he’s at right now!
Gavin Kirkland: Atlas rises and starts stomping the hell out of Kutcher! Meanwhile, Golde tosses Burke off of him! Burke rises and Golde hoists him up for an inverted atomic drop! Burke is in pain, and GOLDE LEAPS INTO THE A FAMOUSER!
Deadprez: Atlas turns and eyes Golde! She approaches him, but he pulls the rope down! Atlas lands onto the apron! Golde forearms her! And then he kicks her legs out! But Atlas leaps into a seated position! Golde takes the ropes for a dropkick through the middle ropes – but ATLAS SLIDES IN AND HE LANDS ON THE OUTSIDE!
Gavin Kirkland: He went through the middle rope, though! Golde is still in this one! Atlas rises to her feet and once again, Luna is behind her! She grabs her by the waist and HOISTS HER FOR A SHEER DROP BACKDROP SUPLEX!
Eve: She rises, and Golde slides in! She swings for him and he ducks under, leaping up the middle rope! ‘THE BRAND DEAL!’ THE SPRINGBOARD STUNNER CONNECTS AND LUNA FALLS BACK, HOLDING HER JAW IN PAIN!
Deadprez: Golde slaps the mat, hyped up! He turns around– ‘RIDIN’ DIRTY!’ KUTCHER DROPS HIM WITH THAT DISCUS CLOTHESLINE! Kutcher is once again feeling it! Mattias approaches him and he lifts him up! MILLITARY PRESS POSITION!
Eve: HE’S ABOUT TO THROW HIM OUT! NO MATTIAS LANDS BEHIND HIM! Kutcher turns and Mattias cracks him with an enzuigiri! Kutcher is still standing, and Mattias leaps into a dropkick! Kutcher bounces off the ropes as Mattias rises..
Gavin Kirkland: ‘RIGHT THURRRRR!” THE RUNNING KNEE STRIKE DROPS MATTIAS AS HE WAS BUILDING MOMENTUM! Kutcher falls to a knee, breathing heavily. He’s laid out two men already! This is very well his chance to win–
Deadprez: WHEN DID NIKKI KIMURA CLIMB THE TOP ROPE?! SHE FLIES OFF THE TOP WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF KUTCHER’S HEAD!
Eve: EVERYONE’S DOWN! That’s what this match is all about! Finding momentum ahead of Pain For Pride and these seven are doing a phenomenal job at doing so! Nikki rises to her feet and– no, you aren’t serious. Did she just tap her on the shoulder???????
Gavin Kirkland: Nikki slowly turns around and Ashlynn Quinn slaps the hell out of her! All it does is piss Nikki off as she grabs her hair! But Ashlynn swats her away and sends her to the ropes! Beautiful running back elbow! Nikki is back up, though!
Deadprez: It’s exactly what she wants, though! Ashlynn cracks her with a superkick! Then a step-up enzuigiri! Nikki falls to her knees, then Ashlynn deadlifts her up into a NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX!
Eve: She rises to her feet and Luna is the first to start steering in the corner… Ashlynn rushes over, clotheslining her against the turnbuckles! She props Luna up the top rope and climbs the middle rope, ready to try for a top rope hurricanrana?!?
Gavin Kirkland: But Luna punches the ribs! She forearms her in the jaw! Another forearm! Luna shoves Ashlynn back– and CLAYTON GOLDE CATCHES HER?!
Deadprez: What is that goof doing, ‘dawg! YOU PUTTING YOURSELF IN A BAD PREDICAMENT!
Eve: AND LUNA LEAPS ONTO THE TOP ROPE, JUMPING INTO A CROSSBODY ONTO BOTH OF THEM! I THINK ASHLYNN JUST GOT SQUISHED BAD THERE!
Gavin Kirkland: Luna rises to her feet and hits the ropes! Just in time Mattias rises, and she – Matias ducks under! DRAGON SUPLEX! WHAT A SUPLEX! Mattias pulls up Daniella Atlas as well! He takes the head and runs up the top rope, TORNADO DDT!
Eve: Mattias is looking good, but here comes Kutcher to hoist him up into a fireman’s carry! He tries to toss him over the top, but Mattias slips behind him! Kutcher turns around! DROPKICK OVER!
Gavin Kirkland: KUTCHER LANDS ON THE APRON! JUST BARELY! HE ALMOST WENT DOWN! Mattias nods, leaping up the middle rope into a triangle forearm– Kutcher catches him! He tries to slam him down, but Mattias lands!
Deadprez: And now an irate Daniella Atlas is back up! She rushes over, grabbing Mattias by the mask! She’s shaking him, trying to shove him off! Mattias elbows her back! Mattias focuses on Kutcher, leaping into an enzuigiri on the back of the head!
Gavin Kirkland: Mattias is prepping for something, but Atlas has him back into her sights.. SHE RUSHES OVER INTO THE ‘LIKE CLOCKWORK’ TO MATTIAS OFF THE APROONNN!!!!
Eve: BUT WAIT! MATTIAS DUCKED HIS HEAD AT THE LAST SECOND, BECAUSE HE WAS HITTING KUTCHER WITH A LEGSWEEP! ATLAS CONNECTS WITH KUTCHER AT THE SAME TIME HIS LEGS ARE SWEPT UNDERNEATH HIM FROM MATTIAS!
Deadprez: NOOOOO! DAMIEN KUTCHER FLIES OFF THE APRON! UNINTENTIONAL TAG TEAM WORK BETWEEN ATLAS AND MATTIAS! I DON’T THINK I’VE EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT?!
Gina Romano: DAMIEN KUTCHER HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
( Once again, another mixed reaction from the crowd. But the person most disappointed is Kutcher, as he slowly comes to the realization he was the first eliminated in this match. )
Eve: Atlas is coming to the realization of what just happened and she’s pissed! She approaches Mattias and they’re brawling! Mattias is on the apron and she’s in the ring! This could end bad for him! Atlas is trying her absolute HARDEST to shove him over!
Deadprez: But Mattias has the heart of a lion! He’s elbowing her back! Finally, he kicks her away! SPRINGBOARDS UP! SPRINGBOARD FLYING KNEE!
Gavin Kirkland: He rises to his feet, but CLAYTON GOLDE DROPS HIM WITH THE ONE INCH PUNCH! Golde is bragging about it, but he turns around to Nikki Kimura and Hardcore Luna, who jump him!
Eve: Serves him right! Kimura and Luna are beating the hell out of Golde! He covers up, yelling for help! And surprisingly, Ashlynn comes over and takes Luna by the hair, slamming her to the mat! Golde kicks Kimura back!
Deadprez: Kimura rises and catches Golde rising with an axe kick! Ashlynn turns her around and swings a forearm, but she ducks and takes both arms! TIGER SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: She’s on a roll right now! Atlas slowly rises and Kimura lights her up with repeated chops! Kimura takes the wrist and irish whips her, no! Atlas reverses it!
Eve: Atlas leans her head down, trying for a back body drop! But Kimura catches her head in her thighs and lifts her up high! POWERBOMB BACKBREAKER! OH MY GOD! ATLAS FALLS OVER, HOLDING HER BACK IN PAIN! Kimura turns around…
Gavin Kirkland: ‘BESTIE SPEAR!’ ASHLYNN QUINN LAYS KIMURA OUT WITH THE SPEAR, HOMAGE TO THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION VEENA ADAMS! THAT JUST TORE KIMURA IN HALF! And outside the ring…
Deadprez: Clayton Golde has rolled to the apron and climbs the top rope, trying to take the moment for himself as well! He points down to Kimura and FLIES OFF THE TOP INTO A 450 LEGDROP! AMAZING ATHLETICISM!
Eve: And if it can get any worse… Both Golde and Ashlynn drag up Kimura and throw her over the top rope! There’s no way these two are going to ride an alliance out all the way to the end of this match!
Gina Romano: NIKKI KIMURA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
( Nikki plops to the mat, disappointed from being plagued by yet another failure in a match of importance to her… )
Eve: Luna is back up to her feet, and I think she knows she’s outnumbered! She grabs Golde by the waist and tosses him by a german suplex! Ashlynn rises and the two start throwing hands! Luna push kicks her back to the ropes!
Gavin Kirkland: Ashlynn comes off the ropes– HARLEM SIDE KICK FROM LUNA! She calls her up and steps to her side, HOOK KICK! She takes the wrists and ripcords her out! ELBOW STRIKE!
Deadprez: But Golde grabs her from behind for a german suplex! She lands behind him, and leaps onto his shoulders! POISON RANA! Golde gets spiked onto his neck!
Gavin Kirkland: He’s trying to rise up, I don’t understand why! Luna hits off the ropes AND CLOTHESLINES HIM OVER!
Eve: GOLDE FALLS ONTO THE APRON THOUGH! HE’S STILL IN THIS! Luna reaches over and here comes Atlas, trying to shove her over! LUNA FALLS OVER!
Deadprez: Is she out– NO! LUNA SKINS THE CAT AND AS SHE’S GOING UP, GOLDE RISES AND TAKES HER FEET, TRYING TO BRING HER DOWN! HE’S TRYING TO THROW HER TO THE FLOOR!
Eve: BUT LOOK AT THE ATHLETICISM OF LUNA! SHE RELEASES THE TOP ROPE SO SHE CAN TWIST HER BODY AND LAND HER FEET ON THE APRON! Golde looks up in shock!
Gavin Kirkland: I’D BE SHOCKED TOO! Golde swings a punch, but Luna catches him with a roundhouse kick! Atlas tries to kick her off, but Luna elbows her away! Luna climbs up the top rope– ASHLYNN QUINN RUNS UP THE TOP!
Deadprez: AND SHE LEAPS ONTO LUNA’S SHOULDERS, TOSSING HER BACK INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH A BEAUTIFUL HURRICANRANA! MY GOODNESS! THE RING JUST SHOOK! Ashlynn has elimination in her sights!
Eve: MATTIAS BURKES COME OUT OF NOWHERE AND DROPS ASHLYNN WITH THE ‘BLAST POINT!!!’ That vicious knee! He rolls her over, trying to drag her up– but Atlas grabs him by the waist and tosses him with a german suplex!
Deadprez: Mattias tries to force himself up… Atlas takes advantage of his pain and hooks the head, hoisting him up and spinning into a falcon arrow!
Gavin Kirkland: Atlas is out for revenge and she has Mattias dead to rights! She drags him up by the mask, AND LIFTS HIM UP IN A CRUCIFIX! SHE MARCHES TO THE ROPES! ‘ANIMUS’ OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Eve: MODIFIED VERSION OF THE ANIMUS– SHE DIDN’T SIT OUT, BUT MATTIAS GOES STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR! WHAT A NASTY LANDING!
Gina Romano: MATTIAS BURKE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
( The fans boo that, whilst ringside help immediately gets to Mattias and checks on him after such a nasty spill to the outside of the ring. )
Deadprez: And look at that roach, Clayton Golde! He sneaks behind, PUSHING ATLAS OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Eve: But she lands on the apron! Golde grabs her hair, throwing repeated elbows to the head! He winds back the one-inch punch, but Luna catches his wrist and turns him around! Atlas enters the ring while this is happening…
Gavin Kirkland: LUNA BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES! ‘LADY CASTIEL’ CONNECTS! NASTY ELBOW SMASH TO THE JAW– ATLAS IS RIGHT BEHIND HIM! ‘BLACK DEAAATHHHHH!!!’ Golde crumbles to the mat off of that discus elbow!
Deadprez: Golde is out cold! There ain’t no getting back up from that! Atlas and Luna glare at each other, considering the issues these two women have.. But they collectively drag him up!
Eve: And to everyone’s surprise, THEY THROW HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! THERE GOES CLAYTON GOLDE! GONE, BUT HOPEFULLY FORGOTTEN!
Gina Romano: CLAYTON GOLDE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
( As the fans are cheering, Golde immediately gets assistance. As he’s helped up to the ramp, he’s ranting about being screwed over, but it’s no use! )
Deadprez: And now we’re down to three! Daniella Atlas, Hardcore Luna, and Ashlynn Quinn! I have genuinely no idea who’s going to leave this one with the win!
Gavin Kirkland: Atlas and Luna seemed to be just fine eliminating Golde, BUT NOW THEY’RE BACK TO BRAWLING! THESE TWO WOMEN HATE EACH OTHER AND THEY’RE FIGHTING ALL OVER THE RING!
Eve: Atlas pulls at Luna’s hair and starts headbutting her! Over and over! Luna releases Atlas, and Atlas front springs into a SCORPION KICK! Luna holds her head, and Atlas twirls under the wrist, taking the waist for a german suplex over– Luna pulls her down with an armdrag!
Deadprez: She’s up and Luna tosses her backwards with a dropkick! Luna kneels up, ASHLYNN SQUASHES HER WITH A CLOTHESLINE INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! She throws her out and Luna turns, holding her chest. Ashlynn rolls, LEAPING INTO A BLOCKBUSTER!
Gavin Kirkland: Atlas rises and swings for Ashlynn, and she brings her down with a slingblade! She rolls away and now Ashlynn is on the pursuit, but Atlas sweeps her legs from underneath her! Atlas rises and LEAPS INTO A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!
Deadprez: Awww she’s gonna be feeling that tomorrow night! Atlas rolls Luna over and drags her up. She turns her around and wrist clutches her. RIPCORDS HER OUT FOR THE INAMORATA! ASHLYNN ROLLS UNDER AT THE LAST SECOND!
Eve: AND LUNA IS LYING IN WAIT! ‘TOUR TO HONOLULU!’ ATLAS IS OUT COLD! ASHLYNN IS STILL UP, AND SHE DRAGS LUNA UP AND TURNS HER, TRYING TO THROW HER OVER!
Gavin Kirkland: LUNA REVERSES THE MOMENTUM! SHE THROWS ASHLYNN OVER! BUT ASHLYNN HANGS ON! LUNA CHARGES IN AND ASHLYNN SHOULDER BARRAGES HER! LUNA IS PERSISTENT, SO ASHLYNN RAKES THE EYES!
Eve: No one is happy about that! The fans are booing, but Ashlynn doesn’t care! Luna is holding her eyes, she can’t even see! ASHLYNN ROLLS THROUGH THE ROPES AND SLINGSHOTS IN– ‘TREND SETTER’ CONNECTS! LUNA IS DOWN FROM THAT DROPKICK TO THE HEAD!
Deadprez: Ashlynn knows she has this one in the bag! She rises, throwing her arms up! But she doesn’t go to the elimination! She wants more?!?!? Ashlynn drags her up and backs up… SHE LEAPS INTO THE ‘PINK STAR DIAMOND!’
Gavin Kirkland: LUNA CATCHES THE KNEES! BUT SHE’S STILL FRAZZLED FROM THAT DROPKICK, SO THE TWO STUMBLE BACKWARDS TO THE ROPES! LUNA IS STRUGGLING TO HOLD ASHLYNN UP BECAUSE SHE’S STILL ROCKED!
Eve: Ashlynn is kicking and screaming, trying to get free – but it’s playing to her disadvantage.. BECAUSE THE TWO START TEETERING OVER THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA ATLAS RISES TO HER FEET, NOTICING THIS! SHE CHARGES OVER AND DUMPS THE TWO OVER THE TOP ROPE! OH MY GOD!
Eve: … LUNA RELEASES ASHLYNN’S KNEES IN THE AIR AND HOLDS ONTO THE BOTTOM ROPE AT THE LAST SECOND!
Deadprez: AND ASHLYNN TOPPLES TO THE FLOOR! THAT’S ALL SHE WROTE!
Gina Romano: ASHLYNN QUINN HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
( Ashlynn lies there, in shock. She was so close to winning, but clearly not close enough! She rolls over and covers her face, nearly moved to tears. She slaps the mat and screams, pissed off that it didn’t go her way! )
Eve: You can see the exhaustion on the face of these two women. With some breaks inbetween, they’ve basically been battling one another the entire match!
Gavin Kirkland: Both Atlas and Luna knew that they were threats and have been trying to eliminate the other to strengthen their chances of winning! But instead it’s come down to these two!
Deadprez: LOOK AT THE INTELLIGENCE OF ATLAS, THOUGH! SHE REALIZED THEY WERE BOTH TAKING A BREATH, AND LUNA IS STILL ON THE APRON! SHE KICKS HER FEET THROUGH THE BOTTOM ROPE, TRYING TO SHOVE HER OUT!
Eve: IT’S STARTING TO WORK! LUNA’S BODY IS STARTING TO TEETER OFF THE APRON! LUNA PLANTS HER HANDS ON THE FLOOR! HER LEGS ARE DANGLING AGAINST THE BOTTOM ROPE!
Gavin Kirkland: ATLAS REACHES UNDER, TAKING HER LEGS! SHE GETS ONE LEG UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE! NOW LUNA IS ABOUT TO DO A HEADSTAND! SHE GRABS THE OTHER ONE– BUT LUNA USES HER LEGS TO SWING ATLAS OVER TO THE APRON!
Eve: Atlas kicks Luna’s leg dangling against the ropes! She kicks it again! AND AGAIN! SHE KEEPS KICKING IT– but Luna swings her leg in the air against her head!
Deadprez: She’s throwing that leg with ferocity! Atlas is staggering! But Atlas kicks her in the back! She marches over, starting to free the rope!
Eve: HOWEVER! She doesn’t realize that Luna is starting to grab the apron skirt and shift her body against the apron! Luna plants a hand on the apron and starts yanking her body up! She grabs the bottom rope, and now Atlas realizes it!
Deadprez: ATLAS LEAPS INTO A STOMP TO THE HAND! But Luna moves out of the way! She’s back in a good position on the apron! Luna takes a deep breath, rising to her feet!
Gavin Kirkland: HERE COMES ATLAS! INAMORATA– LUNA KICKS THE ARM OUT! SHE LEAPS INTO A BICYCLE KICK! And now Luna takes the head, trying to lift Atlas vertically…
Deadprez: ATLAS LANDS IN THE RING! She swings an elbow but Luna blocks it! Luna slides through the bottom rope, pulling Atlas down into a sunset flip– and quickly rolls her to her feet!
Eve: She tries to get the jump, but Luna plants a hand on the mat and PROPELS HERSELF INTO AN ENZUIGIRI OFF HER BACK! I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE!
Deadprez: THE IMPACT SENDS ATLAS’S BODY WHIPLASHING OFF THE BOTTOM ROPE! Luna drags her to the drop zone and starts to climb the middle rope.. Then the top… SHE DROPS INTO THE ‘EXOTIC EXHIBITION!’
Gavin Kirkland: Nasty split right onto the ribs of Atlas! Luna rolls over, gasping for air. Atlas is exhausted, and Luna drags her up. She wants to throw her out, but ATLAS FALLS FROM EXHAUSTION AS SHE’S THROWING HER TO THE ROPES!
Eve: I don’t think Luna foresaw that happening! Luna drags Atlas up– ATLAS TAKES THE WRIST AND YANKS HER INTO A SHORT ARM VARIATION OF THE ‘INAMORATA!!!”
Deadprez: ATLAS FALLS OVER! BOTH WOMEN ARE DOWN! THEY’RE TIRED! I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT’LL TAKE FOR THIS BATTLE ROYAL TO END!
Gavin Kirkland: You can see Atlas trying her best to get up… Luna doesn’t know where she’s at, but Atlas is giving her all the time to recover! Atlas grunts, forcing herself up.
Eve: Luna rolls over, using the ropes to rise. Atlas looks at her arm and nods her head. She rolls her wrist, waiting for Luna to get up!
Deadprez: She’s up now! AND ATLAS SPINS, INTO THE ‘GHOST CALL’ OVER THE TOP ROPE!!!!
Eve: LUNA PULLS THE ROPES AT THE LAST SECOND! ATLAS STRUGGLES, TRYING TO HOLD ON! LUNA CLUBS THE BACK! ATLAS ELBOWS HER AWAY!
Gavin Kirkland: Atlas slowly lowers herself, looking back to a dazed Luna! She springboards off the middle rope, flying into a CROSSB–
Deadprez: LUNA CATCHES HER AND RIDES THE MOMENTUM ALL THE WAY INTO THE ‘TOUR TO HONOLULU!’ FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THIS MATCH IT CONNECTS, AND ATLAS IS OUT COLD!
Eve: SHE QUICKLY DRAGS ATLAS UP, TAKING THE HAIR AND TRUNKS… AND SHE TOSSES HER ALL THE WAY OVER THE TOP ROPE…
( … )

Gina Romano: DANIELLA ATLAS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!
( DING DING DING! )
Gina Romano: Here is your winner of the Over The Top Rope 24/7 Battle Royal Preview, HHHARRDDDCCOOOORRRRREEEEE LLUUUUUUUNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAA!!!
( Hardcore Luna falls back from exhaustion, to a loud pop from the crowd as ‘Marry on a Cross’ by Ghost begins playing. She slaps the mat and rises to her feet, throwing her arm up. Atlas lies outside the ring, shellshocked that she ell short at the very last second. )
Eve: Three eliminations for Daniella Atlas tonight but it still wasn’t enough to get the job done! What a victory for Hardcore Luna! She worked her absolute ass off to get the win and this is extremely well deserved!
Deadprez: If this is how she’s looking tonight, I truly do like Luna’s chances at Pain For Pride! She may very well be going all the way!
Gavin Kirkland: And if she is? All the credit to her! Showdown’s rising rookies all wanted to prove themselves, but it was Luna who did it the best! What a wave of momentum she’s gonna be riding!
( Luna rolls out, happily tagging a few fans on the way to the back after such a hardfought, arduous matchup, before cutting to a n ad for Pain For Pride. )
(As the ad ends, we come back to the ringside area, where Deadprez and the guys are sitting looking at the ring, and the scene transpiring in front of them.)
Deadprez: Welcome back folks, to what I can only describe as ‘creepy’, there is literally no other word for it.
Eve: I agree, we’ve gotten used to seeing the strange from Solomon Stane, but this is something else.
Gavin Kirkland: I’m not going to lie; I may well have soiled my pants. I don’t know what Solomon has planned here, but it sure as hell, and I use that word loosely, can’t be good.
(The camera pans to the ring, where we finally see what the announce team were referring to. Standing in the center is Solomon Stane, and to his side is a closed coffin. Either side of the coffin, druids’ line its length, and a singular spotlight encases the entire ring.)
Eve: I don’t like this. It’s Solomon Stane, you can bet he has something nasty planned.
Solomon Stane: I welcome you all, my children, to this evening’s Mass.
Gavin Kirkland: Mass? What for?
Deadprez: You can bet this has something to do with Caroline.
Eve: He’s certainly ramping up this ‘preacher’ gimmick, isn’t he?
Gavin Kirkland: It’s not a gimmick, we know that. He has a Church deep in the desert.
Deadprez: And you’ve been, have you?
Gavin Kirkland: Well… no. Will you just shut up and listen?
Solomon Stane: This evening’s Mass is dedicated to an individual who I have gotten to know very well over the past few months. Someone who you all know very well. Of course, my Children…
Deadprez: Children?
Solomon Stane: … I am talking about Caroline. Or as you may well know her, the Queen of Shadows.
(Boos ring out, or at least they ring out louder than when Solomon was delivering his lecture.)
Solomon Stane: Yes, and you may well boo and jeer, because Caroline tried to strike down your Father, and remove him from this company. She chose, by her own free will, to stop me from claiming my right, the Answers World Championship. She revels in those very shadows, choosing her ‘victims’ with care. But this time, Caroline has NOT chosen wisely. In fact, she has brought about her own demise.
(Jeers ring out again, and Solomon takes that as them agreeing with him, though the truth is they hated both.)
Solomon Stane: But this wasn’t always the case. Once, Caroline was a cheerleader, and was so full of life. She reveled in the sweetest things, and only wanted to be the very best she could be. Unfortunately, Caroline trusted someone just like the asp, and thus she began to tread this dark path. Caroline was never the same from that moment when someone she loved chose to betray her. This individual was no stranger to betrayal, as we are seeing even now. The ‘Good’ Doctor, anything but what she claimed… but this isn’t about her. This is about Caroline. This is about the Queen. And now, unfortunately her days are numbers. And her destiny is for her to burn in HELL.
(Solomon walks around to the front of the coffin, with what looks like a book in his hand, possibly the bible. He flicks through the pages, finding the reference that he requires.)
Solomon Stane: Caroline, you have no idea the Pandora’s Box that you have opened, and now will be unable to close. You do not understand the true forces of darkness like I do. You call yourself the Queen of Shadows, and yet, those shadows only mask your true self. That self being one of a child, that even now doesn’t understand that the wheels have been set in motion, and that destiny has been set for Pain for Pride. An event that will prove to be your last act. An event that will see you banished, once and for all. I want you to know Caroline, that I didn’t want to tread this path with you. I didn’t intend it to end this way. I take no pleasure, right now, delivering your last rites, in front of God and the entire world.
Deadprez: I was wrong, this isn’t creepy… this is insane. I’ve gotten this right, haven’t I? You only give the Last Rites to someone who is dying, right?
Eve: I reckon that’s Solomon’s intention, yes. Don’t forget, in recent memory he’s been paralyzed, and he didn’t win the Answers World Championship when it was more difficult to lose. We’ve seen our fair share of unhinged people on this show recently, but I think Solomon has truly lost the plot.
(Solomon turns, and raises his hands, the druids turning sideways and lifting the lid off the coffin. Solomon’s eyes widen, and the place erupts…)
Deadprez: In the coffin… that’s CAROLINE!!!
(Caroline spits the poison mist into one of the druids face, incapacitating him straight away. She leaps from the coffin, as the druids try to scatter, grabbing one and dropping him with ‘A song of Ice and Fire’. Two of the druids try to run, and escape the ring, but Caroline sees them and dives through the ropes, taking them both down with a Suicide Dive. Another druid tries to escape around the ring, but Caroline cuts him off, falling backwards and dropping his face onto her knees.)
Eve: She’s taken out the druids… now look at her, staring daggers at Solomon.
Gavin Kirkland: Solomon, bro, leave the rites for another time, Caroline’s gone mental.
(They stare at each other for a moment, before Caroline slides under the bottom rope, Solomon immediately dropping and escaping the ring as quickly as he can to a chorus of boos. He starts to back up the ring, as he and Caroline stare at each other, the hatred obvious for all to see.)
Deadprez: This match just stepped up a level, this two are now on the verge of killing each other, intent on not letting the other get away.
Eve: I didn’t expect this when they were teaming against Adam Lucas and Dr. Bethany Blue, but that relationship, if there was ever one, is now well and truly out the window.
Gavin Kirkland: And if tonight is anything to go by, neither of them will be the same again after Pain for Pride.
(Caroline starts to sneer, as she flips the coffin over, causing it to crash to the mat. She points at Solomon, and then at the coffin, making it very clear that it may be Solomon that has bitten off more than he can chew.)
Deadprez: This is one to look out for folks, and it all comes to a head at Pain for Pride in just two weeks’ time.
(The camera pans to Solomon at the top of the ramp, nodding his head now with a smirk on his face. And then back to Caroline, who still wears that same sneer, as the scene fades to a commercial break..)
(As Showdown returns, ‘Sinister Purpose’ by Creedence Clearwater begins to play throughout the arena as Kirk Redwood comes out with a focused look on his face. He cracks both sides of his neck as he looks more than ready to kick some ass in this match.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS A TAG TEAM MATCH AND SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS…WEIGHING IN AT THE WEIGHT OF 210 POUNDS…HE IS ‘UNKILLABLE’…KIRK REDWOOD!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Kirk Redwood has had his issues with Terry Chambers over the past few weeks. The two of them faced off and it was Terry, who ended up getting the best out of Kirk. But, Terry said that he’d fight anyone and Kirk accepted that offer with no hesitation!
Eve: Kirk Redwood has never been the one shy of a fight. He faced Veena Adams for the National Elite Championship earlier this season, but winning this match at Pain for Pride could change the trajectory of how things are going for him! It could make him a contender to any championship that he decides to go for!
Deadprez: But, there’s one other man that he has to deal with —
(‘In The Air Tonight [Cover]’ by The Protomen cuts off ‘Sinister Purpose’ as the lights go off before shining a huge spotlight on him as he looks around the crowd tonight. He begins to make his way down the ramp, meeting Kirk Redwood at the bottom of the ramp.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HIS PARTNER…FROM LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK…WEIGHING IN AT THE WEIGHT OF 265 POUNDS…HE IS ‘THE MAD TITAN’…SCOTT DIAMOND!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Now, Scott Diamond would find a way to interject himself in the business between Kirk Redwood and Terry Chambers. While Terry has defeated Kirk, Terry has never faced a man like Scott Diamond! Adding him into this match will be nothing more than destruction. Especially, since Terry has been causing ruckus backstage since his return!
Eve: This has the capabilities of being a huge match up for three of these men who are looking to prove something. Plus, it could make the decision easier on who Kennedy Street will want to draft onto her brand next season!
Deadprez: Just let these three beat the hell out of each other! Create hell all around, if possible!
(‘Refuse/Resist’ by Sepultura begins to play throughout the speakers. Pandora Paisley and Halsey Neel come out as united as ever. The crowd immediately hates these women as Halsey forms a wicked grin on her face as Pandora is screaming, hyping herself up and showing everyone else that she fears nothing.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THEIR OPPONENTS…THEY ARE THE TEAM OF ‘THE RIPPER’ HALSEY NEEL AND ‘THE HELLCAT’ PANDORA PAISLEY…THE BRITISH INVASION!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: We are in the graces of the next Unified Tag Team Champions, Eve and DP! The British Invasion has made Showdown there’s this season! This is a team that I hope remains on Showdown next season! I hope that the Unified Tag Team Championships are around their shoulders!
Eve: The British Invasion has had their issues with The Jaded Hearts since Operation: Doomsday. They are the reason why The Jaded Hearts lost the Unified Tag Team Championships to NICHOLISM. It would lead to Kassidy Heart pulling rank and banning The British Invasion from Fighting Spirit as they managed to reclaim their championships!
Deadprez: Things have gotten quite personal with these two teams and have looked forward to seeing how things go down with them! For right now, they have a huge task on hand as they face Scott Diamond and Kirk Redwood!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: Okay, it seems like Pandora Paisley will be beginning things for The British Invasion! Kirk Redwood is insisting that he start things off for his team with Scott Diamond! Scott just shrugs his shoulders and finds his way to the corner! Now, we’re getting this tag team match underway! Kirk is in position as he offers Pandora a ‘test of strength’ as you can see a look of hesitation on ‘The Hellcat’s’ face! Slowly, she begins to go around Kirk’s space as she intertwine her hands with the former Unified Tag Team Champion’s —
Deadprez: BUT, KIRK REDWOOD GIVES A GOOD TWIST OF THE HANDS AS HE MANAGES TO TAKE PANDORA PAISLEY DOWN TO HER KNEES! We see that Pandora is trying to plead with Kirk to let go of her hands, but Kirk manages to pin the back of her hands against the mat! In the process, this gets Pandora to go back in an inverted bridge position! Kirk gets on top of Pandora and looks to pin her shoulders to the mat!
Gavin Kirkland: IT SHOULD BE ME, NOT HIM!
OOOOOOONNNNNNEEEE—
Eve: Pandora Paisley pops her shoulders up as she continues to test her strength as tries to push Kirk Redwood back! But, Pandora has a disadvantage in the strength department as Kirk manages to slam Pandora on the back of her head! There, we see Kirk grabbing Pandora with a fistful of her hair and throwing her to the corner! Pandora’s head bumps to the turnbuckle as she finds a way to turn herself around! KIRK BEGINS TO CONNECT WITH A SERIES OF MUDHOLE STOMPS AT THE CORNER BEFORE PICKING HER UP AND DELIVERING A MASSIVE CHOP TO THE CHEST OF PANDORA! THIS CAUSES PANDORA TO WIGGLE OUT OF THE CORNER IN PAIN! BUT, KIRK MANAGES TO GRAB HER BY THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND THROW HER BACK INTO THE CORNER!
Deadprez: Kirk Redwood takes a few steps back before charging at 1/2 of The British Invasion with a running uppercut! Pandora Paisley barely had any time to adjust to the situation that she was in as the uppercut was strong enough to knock her into a seated position! There, we see Kirk placing his foot on the side of her face as the referee begins to count!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Gavin Kirkland: Kirk Redwood begins to go back as he has his hands up! Pandora Paisley tries to grasp onto the ropes to help herself up to her feet! But, Kirk goes right after her and connects with a knee underneath the chin of Pandora as Kirk pulls her in a front headlock! He lifts her up as it looks like he’s going for a vertical suplex! PANDORA GOES BACK, BUT SHE MANAGES TO LAND ON HER FEET! KIRK TURNS HIMSELF AROUND AS PANDORA NAILS A ‘CAT’S PAW’ AS THAT TAKES KIRK BACK! SHE GRABS KIRK BY THE ARM AS SHE WHIPS HIM TO THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES! PANDORA CHARGES AT KIRK, WHO MANAGES TO HOLD ON AND DELIVER A BACK ELBOW AS THAT CAUSES PANDORA TO STAGGER BACK! KIRK TURNS HIMSELF AROUND AND CHARGES AFTER PANDORA AS HE NAILS A CLOTHESLINE THAT TAKES PANDORA DOWN! KIRK GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTT—
Eve: Pandora Paisley with a kick out! Kirk Redwood gets ‘The Hellcat’ up to her feet as he delivers a knee to the gut! Then, he goes back to the ropes, rebounding off of them and connecting with a spinning neck breaker as that takes Pandora to her back! But, Kirk manages to get Pandora in a side headlock as he wrenches in the neck, applying more pressure onto the hold! He goes back to his corner, still maintaining the headlock on Pandora as he looks for Scott Diamond to tag himself into the match? Scott is just staring at Kirk, unsure on what to do.
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Deadprez: It seems like that’s the answer there as the Hall of Famer, Scott Diamond tags himself into the match! HE ENTERS THE MATCH AS KIRK REDWOOD HOLDS PANDORA PAISLEY BACK AS SCOTT DELIVERS A PUNCH TO THE ABDOMEN OF THE BRIT! THIS CAUSES PANDORA TO HOLD ONTO HER STOMACH IN PAIN AS SCOTT MANAGES TO GET PANDORA IN A FRONT HEADLOCK BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A FRONT SUPLEX AS PANDORA LANDS RIGHT ON HER STOMACH! Pandora is clutching onto that stomach as Scott was not simple on her whatsoever! It seems like she’s looking to tag in Halsey Neel into the match! But, Scott grabs Pandora from her waist as he manages to take her back with a GIANT German suplex! But, Scott still has control of her waist as he takes her back with a second German suplex! Still, we see Scott still having control of her waist as he takes her back with a third German suplex! Pandora finds a way to roll to her knees, but she can’t keep her balance as she falls to her back!
Gavin Kirkland: Scott Diamond needs to be careful! Pandora Paisley may be vicious, but she can only take so much! But, look at Scott! It’s like he’s allowing Pandora to tag Halsey Neel into the match! It seems like he wasn’t having fun throwing Pandora around! I hope that he knows that messing with Halsey won’t work out well in his favor! She will avenge my sweet Pandora!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Eve: And, Halsey Neel finds herself in this match! Scott Diamond is staring her down! Scott wants Halsey to give him the fight that he desires! HALSEY THROWS A PUNCH TO SCOTT, BUT THAT ONLY CAUSES HIS FACE TO FLINCH! SCOTT WITH A SMIRK ON HIS FACE AS HE MANAGES TO THROW A PUNCH TO HALSEY AS THAT CAUSES HER TO STAGGER BACK! BUT, HALSEY MANAGES TO REGAIN HER BALANCE AS SHE MANAGES TO RUSH FORWARD TO THROW A PUNCH AT SCOTT! BUT, SCOTT THROWS A PUNCH TOWARDS HER! IT’S A SLUGFEST BETWEEN THESE TWO AS SCOTT DELIVERS A MASSIVE KNEE TO THE GUT OF HALSEY BEFORE THROWING HER TO THE VERTICAL SET OF ROPES! SCOTT GOES RIGHT AFTER HER, BUT HALSEY GETS HER FOOT UP AND KICKS SCOTT AWAY!
Deadprez: Halsey Neel charges right after Scott Diamond and connects with a discus lariat! No! It seems like Scott Diamond manages to grab Halsey and connect with a uranage, BUT HALSEY MANAGES TO JUMP OUT OF THE WAY! SHE KICKS SCOTT IN THE STOMACH BEFORE USING HER STRENGTH TO TAKE HIM BACK WITH A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! HALSEY HAS THE BRIDGE AS SHE WAITS FOR THE REFEREE TO BEGIN HIS COUNT!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTWWWW—
Gavin Kirkland: NO! SCOTT DIAMOND SHOVES HALSEY NEEL OFF OF HIM! BUT, BEFORE SCOTT COULD FIND HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET, HALSEY GETS ON TOP OF THE HALL OF FAMER BEFORE THROWING A SERIES OF LEFT AND RIGHT FISTS TO THE FACE! Then, she grabs him by that mohawk and connects with some quick headbutts to the forehead of ‘The Mad Titan!’ Halsey grabs Scott in a front headlock before lifting him up and taking him down with a kneecap brain buster! Scott lands right on his right shoulder as Halsey goes right after him and takes him down with a penalty kick! She takes him to the horizontal set of ropes and drapes his head on the middle rope! We are seeing a rope choke by ‘The Despair’ as the referee begins his count!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! BACK AWAY, HALSEY!
Eve: Halsey Neel has her hands up in defense as the referee goes to deal with her for a second! BUT, LOOK AT PANDORA PAISLEY! PANDORA CHARGES RIGHT AFTER SCOTT WITH A CHEAP SHOT AS SHE PUNCHES HIM IN THE FACE! WITH THAT, IT SEEMS LIKE KIRK REDWOOD DID NOT LIKE THAT AS HE MANAGES TO CHASE HER BACK TO HER CORNER! PANDORA HAS HER HANDS UP AS THE REFEREE MANAGES TO TURN AROUND, BUT FAILS TO MANAGE WHAT PANDORA HAD DONE! KIRK IS TRYING TO TELL THE REFEREE WHAT IS UP, BUT THE REFEREE IS TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT BOTH ELITISTS GO BACK TO THEIR RESPECTIVE CORNERS! Halsey goes back to get Scott from the ropes and follows that up with a cobra clutch backbreaker on the former World Champion!
Deadprez: But, we see Halsey Neel keeping that cobra clutch synched in as Scott Diamond finds himself in a bit of trouble at the moment! Meanwhile, we see that Scott is beginning to look for a way out of this hold! But, Halsey is applying more pressure onto the hold! I think that this is a beautiful approach by Halsey to keep the Hall of Famer down! But, Scott is looking at his surroundings and notices the bottom rope nearby as he — he manages to get his foot on the bottom rope as that forces Halsey to break up the hold! Wonderful ring awareness from the veteran! We see that Halsey is not releasing the hold and she needs to be careful not to get The British Invasion disqualified here!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Gavin Kirkland: Halsey Neel releases the hold as she proceeds to argue with the referee! We see that Pandora Paisley is looking to take advantage of the distraction again, but Kirk Redwood is quick to stop her as he looks to enter inside the ring! QUICKLY, WE SEE PANDORA ENTERING THE RING AS PANDORA GOES RUNNING AROUND THE RING AS KIRK IS RIGHT AFTER HER, BUT HE STOPS NEAR THE RAMP —
(The crowd has a mixed reception as Terry Chambers is seen slowly going down the ramp. More than scouted on Scott Diamond inside the ring and Kirk Redwood, who was just chasing Pandora Paisley and preventing her from getting involved in the match when she’s not the legal Elitist.)
Eve: Terry Chambers has a very important match up at Pain for Pride as he will face both Kirk Redwood and Scott Diamond at Pain for Pride! Kirk is more than amused by Terry’s presence as he goads for the former EAW Champion to fight him! Is he really asking for a fight and risking his team to get disqualified?
Deadprez: Do you think that someone like Kirk Redwood cares? He wants a fight! He wants to fight Terry Chambers! Terry is completely expressionless as it’s difficult to get a good read on his emotions! BUT, PANDORA PAISLEY USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO HER ADVANTAGE AS SHE TAKES KIRK, WHO WAS MORE THAN FOCUSED WITH TERRY, AND THROWS KIRK INTO THE STEEL STEPS! Meanwhile, we see Pandora with a huge sh*t-eating grin on her face as she playfully waves at Terry as she begins to back away to her corner! It’s almost like she’s thankful for Terry providing a distraction!
Gavin Kirkland: Terry Chambers did my sweet Pandora Paisley a favor there, DP! Meanwhile, as we look at the action at ringside, we see that the referee is checking on Scott Diamond as he uses the assistance of the top rope to help pick himself up to his feet! BUT, HALSEY NEEL CONNECTS WITH A BIG BOOT AS THAT SENDS THE HALL OF FAMER TO THE CORNER! THERE, WE SEE HALSEY GETTING HERSELF INTO POSITION BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO SCOTT’S CHEST! OUCH! I WOULD HATE TO BE ON THE OPPOSING END OF ALL OF THAT! HALSEY CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO SCOTT’S CHEST! BUT, LOOK AT SCOTT’S FACE! HE SEEMS TO BE COLD AND EMOTIONLESS AT THE MOMENT AS HE’S HAVING NO EFFECT ON WHAT HALSEY IS DOING! HALSEY ALMOST REALIZES THAT SHE MIGHT HAVE MADE A MISTAKE BY DOING THAT, BUT SHE DECIDES TO CONNECT WITH A THIRD KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST! MAYBE, IT WILL BE ENOUGH —
Eve: But, Scott Diamond manages to catch her hand by the wrist! Halsey Neel is shaking her head as she realizes that she messed up there as Scott delivers a giant headbutt to Halsey as that causes her to back away! Then, we see Scott following that up with a rolling forearm as that takes one-half of The British Invasion back to the horizontal set of ropes! SCOTT GOES RIGHT AFTER HER AND CONNECTS WITH A BIG BOOT AS THAT DROPS DOWN ‘THE DESPAIR’ TO A KNEE! SCOTT GRABS HALSEY BY ONE OF HER ARMS BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A RIPCORD CLOTHESLINE AS THAT TAKES HER DOWN! SCOTT GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Halsey Neel with a kick out! Scott Diamond picks up Halsey by that messed up ponytail of her as he gets her in a powerbomb position before taking her up and I BELIEVE THAT HE’S GOING FOR THAT CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB OF HIS THAT HE CALLS ‘COLD HARD JUSTICE’ AS HE THROWS HALSEY INTO ONE OF THE CORNERS! THEN, WE SEE SCOTT GOING BACK BEFORE NAILING HER WITH A BIG BOOT TO HER FACE AS THAT CAUSES HER TO STUMBLE FORWARD! SCOTT CONNECTS WITH A KNEE AS THAT CAUSES HALSEY TO STOP IN HER TRACKS! THEN, SCOTT CONNECTS WITH A BELLY-TO-BELLY AS THAT TAKES HER DOWN!
(Kirk Redwood manages to walk back to his corner as he extends his hands out for Scott Diamond to tag him into the match.)
Gavin Kirkland: It seems like Kirk Redwood wants into this match, but is Scott Diamond going to let him?
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Eve: Kirk Redwood gets himself back inside the ring as he waits for Halsey Neel to get back to her feet! Kirk grabs Halsey and takes her back with an exploder suplex as Halsey is rolling to one of the corners! She tries to pick herself back up, but Kirk goes running after her and connects with a running knee strike as that takes Halsey back down! WE SEE THAT KIRK BEGINS TO PICK UP HALSEY BY HER CHIN AS HE GOES BACK A BIT BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST OF HALSEY! HALSEY IS HOLDING ONTO HER CHEST AS KIRK CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST! HALSEY IS TRYING TO FIND HERSELF OUT OF THE CORNER! BUT, KIRK BEGINS TO CONNECT WITH RAPID PUNCHES TO THE FOREHEAD OF ‘THE DESPAIR’ AS SHE SITS HERSELF ON THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE!
Deadprez: Kirk Redwood gets Halsey Neel in a front headlock as it seems like he’s going for the guillotine on Halsey! But, Halsey is using her strength to get herself out of the grasp of ‘The Unkillable!’ Kirk goes right after her, BUT HALSEY MANAGES TO LIFT UP KIRK AND CONNECT WITH A FLAPJACK AS KIRK LANDS RIGHT ON HIS FACE! THEN, HE GOES OVER TO HER CORNER TO TAG IN PANDORA PAISLEY BACK INTO THIS MATCH UP!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Gavin Kirkland: My precious Hellcat has found herself back in this match! PANDORA PAISLEY MANAGES TO GRAB THE ARMS OF KIRK REDWOOD BY HIS WRISTS AS SHE PLANTS HER FOOT ON THEIR BACK BEFORE RAISING THEM UP AND DRIVING THEM INTO THE MAT! PANDORA CALLS THAT ‘FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION!’ THE FORCE OF HER BOOT MIGHT HAVE KNOCKED THEM UNCONSCIOUS AS PANDORA GOES FOR THE COVER! THIS HAS TO BE IT HERE!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Eve: Scott Diamond steps inside the ring as he looks to break the count as the referee sees that as he forces Scott to go back to his corner! Scott is trying to argue with the referee about what he was doing! But, look inside the ring — HALSEY NEEL CONNECTS WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE AS SHE QUICKLY GETS KIRK REDWOOD TO A CORNER WHERE SHE FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A YAKUZA KICK! ‘OFF WITH YOUR HEAD’ ON THE FORMER UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPION! STILL, WE SEE THAT KIRK IS FINDING A WAY BACK TO HIS FEET AS PANDORA CONNECTS WITH A ‘CAT’S PAW’ AS THAT TAKES HIM DOWN! THE DOUBLE TEAMING FROM THE BRITISH INVASION HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT WE’VE SEEN THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE MATCH! THE REFEREE TURNS HIMSELF AROUND AS HE SEES NOTHING GOING ON WITH THE TWO WOMEN! PANDORA BEGINS TO SET UP FOR ‘CATNAP’ — HER VARIATION OF THE SCISSORS SNAP DDT!
Deadprez: But, Kirk Redwood manages to push Pandora Paisley out of the way as he charges forward and connects with a powerful clothesline! This takes himself down in the process as he’s looking at the corner to tag in Scott Diamond into the match! Now, Scott looks unsure if he wants to get himself involved in the match! Kirk is extending his hand to ‘The Mad Titan’ as he looks at it!
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Gavin Kirkland: SCOTT DIAMOND ACCEPTS THE TAG AS HE FINDS HIS WAY BACK INSIDE THE RING! PANDORA PAISLEY FINDS HERSELF BACK TO HER FEET AS SCOTT CONNECTS WITH A LIFTED KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION! THEN, HE PULLS PANDORA INTO A FRONT HEADLOCK AS HE CONNECTS WITH A ‘DEAD LEVEL DDT’ — THE FRONT FACE LOCK LIFT INTO A DDT AS HE MANAGES TO PLANT HER DOWN! SCOTT GOES FOR THE COVER ON ‘THE HELLCAT!’ KICK OUT, PANDORA! KICK OUT!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTHH—
Eve: Kickout! But Halsey Neel tries breaking up the count by stomping on the back of Scott Diamond’s head! BUT, KIRK REDWOOD IS ON THE APRON AS HE JUMPS ON THE TOP ROPE AND SPRINGBOARDS HIMSELF BACK INSIDE THE RING AS HE CONNECTS WITH A ‘.50 CAL’ — THE SPRINGBOARD FOREARM SMASH TO THE FACE OF HALSEY AS THAT TAKES HER DOWN! HALSEY FINDS HERSELF ROLLING OUT OF THE RING! Kirk rolls himself out of the ring as he looks to tag Halsey out of the equation to secure the victory for his team! He grabs Halsey by the back of her head as he exchanges a look at Terry Chambers, who has been minding his own business for most of the match up!
(Kirk Redwood begins to stare down at Terry Chambers. Earlier in the match, he was trying to goad Terry into fighting him. Still, it doesn’t seem to phase Terry as he remains perfectly still, just looking at the match. This goes on for about a minute with Kirk saying a couple of things to Terry, but Terry staring at him with a cold look on his face.)
Deadprez: BUT, FROM BEHIND — HALSEY NEEL MANAGES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPENING THAT TERRY CHAMBERS UNINTENTIONALLY PROVIDED FOR HER AND PUSHES KIRK REDWOOD TO THE STEEL RING POST! KIRK’S HEAD BOBBLES BACK AS HE LANDS ON HIS BACK! SCOTT DIAMOND IS LOOKING AT ALL OF THE MADNESS HAPPENING AT RINGSIDE AS HE HAS A COUPLE OF THINGS TO SAY TO TERRY CHAMBERS! BUT, TURN AROUND, SCOTT —
Gavin Kirkland: HALSEY NEEL CONNECTS WITH THAT QUESTION MARK KICK TO THE BACK OF SCOTT DIAMOND’S HEAD AS THAT MANAGES TO CAUSE THE HALL OF FAMER TO TURN AROUND AND FALL INTO THE GRASP OF HALSEY WHO FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A SNAP DDT! ‘DEVOLVER’ CONNECTS, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE WE’RE NOT DONE HERE AS ‘THE HELLCAT’ MANAGES TO QUICKLY FOLLOW ALL OF THAT UP BY CONNECTING WITH A ‘CATASTROPHE’ — THE SNAPMARE HEADLOCK DRIVER PLANTS SCOTT DOWN AS PANDORA GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Refuse/Resist’ begins to play throughout the arena once more as Pandora Paisley slides off of Scott Diamond as Halsey Neel picks her up as they begin to raise their hands in victory.)
Gina Romano: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…THE BRITISH INVASION!!!!!!!!!
Eve: These two actually did it! Pandora Paisley just pinned the Hall of Famer as she seems to be more than elated about the entire thing!
Deadprez: The team of Scott Diamond and Kirk Redwood seemed to be a little rocky throughout the match as they kept debating on whether they wanted to work with each other! That, plus with Terry Chambers at ringside, it seems like their attention was a bit somewhere else and The British Invasion capitalized on all of that!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT LOOK AT TERRY CHAMBERS AT RINGSIDE! HE SAW THAT KIRK REDWOOD WAS GETTING HIMSELF BACK UP AFTER HALSEY NEEL HAD PUSHED HIM INTO THE STEEL RING POST! HE CHARGES AT HIM WITH A ‘RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE’ AS THE CLAYMORE KICK CAUSES FOR KIRK TO GO BACK DOWN! THEN, HE SEES THAT SCOTT DIAMOND HAS SLIDE HIMSELF OUT OF THE RING AS HE SEEMS TO STILL BE COMPLETELY OUT OF IT BY TAKING TWO FINISHERS FROM THE BRITISH INVASION! TERRY LOOKS TO TAKE HIM DOWN WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE —
Eve: SCOTT DIAMOND MANAGES TO HOLD ONTO THE FOOT OF THE FORMER EAW CHAMPION! HOW IN THE WORLD IS SCOTT DIAMOND STILL FUNCTIONING! TERRY CHAMBERS MIGHT HAVE REALIZED THAT HE MESSED UP THERE AS SCOTT CONNECTS WITH A DRAGON SCREW LEG WHIP AS THAT TAKES HIM DOWN! KIRK REDWOOD LAUNCHES HIMSELF RIGHT AT SCOTT CLOTHESLINE AS SCOTT GOES BACK TO THE EDGE OF THE APRON! LEFT AND RIGHTS, KIRK IS NOT HOLDING BACK ON THE HALL OF FAMER —
Deadprez: TERRY CHAMBERS FINDS HIMSELF BACK IN THIS BRAWL AS HE MANAGES TO TAKE KIRK REDWOOD BACK WITH A BACK SUPLEX AS KIRK LANDS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP! THESE THREE ARE BEATING THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER!!!!! THIS IS PURE MADNESS!!!!
(The crowd begins to boo as a dozen security guards begin to make their way down the ramp and separate the three men from each other. Scott Diamond is being held back near the apron that he had crashed into. Kirk Redwood is being taken up the ramp, but he is just yelling. Terry Chambers is being held back by the barricade. These three men are yelling and screaming at each other. Meanwhile, the British Invasion are watching the entire thing go down with an amused look on their faces.)
Gavin Kirkland: We saw Chef Viz being taken out at Fighting Spirit! This could be Kennedy Street making sure that no one else gets injured before the biggest show of the entire year! Protect all of Showdown’s matches at all costs!
(The British Invasion’s theme begins to play throughout the arena, despite all the madness happening at ringside. The two women remain in the ring, completely unbothered by the entire situation unfolding at ringside.)
Deadprez: Nonetheless, a big-time win for British Invasion as they have their sights set on Pain For Pride and, more specifically, the Unified Tag Team Championships. That would be the culmination of a long journey for them and as the weeks go by they get closer and closer to their ultimate goal. Do you think they got what it takes?
(Halsey Neel and Pandora Paisley make their way back toward the center of the ring, looking toward one another with sinister grins before they once again raise their hands in victory, even after everything that happened to unfold before this. Security has finally begun to file away, finally managing to get Kirk, Terry, and Scott away from one another while British Invasion continue to celebrate their victory tonight.)
Eve: Certainly, but we can’t forget who’s waiting for them at that finish line: Kassidy Heart, Sienna Jade, The Jaded Hearts. The greatest tag team that this company has ever seen. We know that British Invasion is good, but are they good enough to beat a foe like that? That’s something that remains to be seen.
Gavin Kirkland: All I know is, regardless of the winner, Gavin wins! Now where’s the other half of this beautiful specimen of a Pain For Pride match?! The Jaded Hearts said they would be here-
(Before long, ‘True Love’ by CFO$ begins to blast through the speakers of the arena. The crowd is in an uproar as Halsey and Pandora then proceed to turn toward the stage, their grins growing larger as they expect this to happen tonight.)
Gavin Kirkland: YES! THEY ANSWERED MY CALLS!
Eve: Yes, you certainly summoned them out here, Gavin. :francis:
(The camera goes to show Kassidy Heart and Sienna Jade as the Unified Tag Team Champions are indeed making their way out to the stage. The Jaded Hearts stand united and the crowd is going wild for it. They look at one another before looking toward the ring at British Invasion, both very confident in themselves as they make their way down the ramp.)
Deadprez: We saw British Invasion interrupt The Jaded Hearts yesterday on Friday Night Dynasty and hand them a personal invitation to Saturday Night Showdown, which they of course accepted. But that wasn’t before a massive brawl would take place, and now we have the two teams in the ring once again this week.
Eve: You can’t deny that the tension is slowly building between them, and it’s only a matter of time before it all boils over and I think we want to be here for that. It’s been a long time coming for this Pain For Pride match and I think that they’re all eager to make a lasting impression sooner rather than later.
Gavin Kirkland: Well, they’ve certainly made a lasting impression on me. :mjgrin:
(Kassidy and Sienna both begin to make their way into the ring, heading over and taking a microphone from the ringside area while ‘True Love’, from there, begins to fade out. Then, approaching their challengers, they begin to speak.)
Kassidy Heart: Well, we’re here now. I hope this made you happy.
Sienna Jade: Trust me, we have so many other things to do than reaffirm what we already know to be true. The Jaded Hearts will always be on top and a team like British Invasion is absolutely zero exception to that. So let’s cut the bullsh*t, alright?
(Pandora and Halsey look to one another before they backpedal and take microphones for themselves, looking to say their piece as well.)
Halsey Neel: What reason do we have not to be convinced that we’re going to beat The Jaded Hearts? When we cost you the Unified Tag Team Championships at Operation: Doomsday, it wasn’t just because we made our claim for being up next, but because even with the two of you breathing down our necks, we knew that we would come through. We knew that regardless of what threat you seemed to pose, it would be British Invasion coming out on top.
Pandora Paisley: Whether you like it or not, we are the biggest competition we have for your Unified Tag Team Championships, and it’s just a damn shame that we happened to be the first people to step up in your title reign. We have no problems completely crushing this fairytale that you have when it comes to breaking the record for most Tag Title reigns and bringing you down to reality. Because this era of The Jaded Hearts is done and dusted, and it’s only going to be a matter of time before we take over and show you whose era this truly is.
Sienna Jade: That’s cute, they think that this is some fairytale, Kassipoo. They think that we’re relishing in these “nOstAlgiA FuMes” and that it’ll all be over soon. PUH-LEASE! Give me a break when you say that sh*t, because not only have we heard that before, it doesn’t make any f*cking sense! The Jaded Hearts are immortal, we’re not just here to stay, we live on FOREVER and that’s something that people just can’t envision.
Kassidy Heart: You can’t lace up our Louboutins as a team or as singles competitors and I didn’t know that was something that we needed to say in the first place but here we are. You’re just two numbskulled, pathetic Elitists who are gunna get walked all over by the two of us at Pain For Pride because not only is that natural for a team like us but because it’s Pain For f*cking Pride and if there’s one place that The Jaded Hearts excel it’s there.
Halsey Neel: And we don’t care. So many people get intimidated by that and the sheer presence of the two of you, but we’re not fooled. We know that all of this is just one huge facade and at the end of the day when it’s time to get into the ring, we won’t need cheap theatrics or a desperate cling to past achievements in order to get ourselves ahead. All we need to show you is what we can offer inside of the ring and it is so much more than the two of you in this day and age, maybe that’s something that you need to envision for yourselves.
Pandora Paisley: Love, what you need to understand is that just because you “excel” in a certain place at a certain time, that doesn’t mean that we’re just going to back down and let you two go to work. No, we know what we’re entitled to and we know what we’re after, and it’s been a long time coming but we can safely say that now more than ever we are close to those Unified Tag Team Championships. We knew that it wouldn’t matter who we were up against to get there, even if it was The Jaded Hearts, we were going to stop at nothing in order to do it. So you can question whether or not we’re ready for this all you want, but you shouldn’t even need to ask us that given the caliber of competitor that stands across from you.
Sienna Jade: Please, give me a f*cking break-
(Then, to the surprise of many, interrupting what Sienna had to say… is ‘Zombie’ by The Cranberries which begins to play through the speakers.)
Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Well I can’t say I expected this!
(The camera then goes over to show NICHOLISM, Alex Myers and Ruler, surprisingly making themselves known tonight here on Saturday Night Showdown as they make their way out from the backstage area and toward the stage. They have looks of determination painted all over their faces as they begin to make their way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Eve: We thought this Pain For Pride match was made official already but it’s clear that a certain team has taken issue with that! The former Unified Tag Team Champions are making their way out here tonight and it seems like they have something to say.
(Gavin is heard profusely sobbing behind the commentary table.)
Deadprez: The Jaded Hearts obviously are the ones who took the Tag Titles away from them in the first place, and British Invasion is one team that they certainly have problems with considering how their title defense against them managed to pan out. Alex and Ruler we saw on Fight Grid had a talk with Captain Charisma about their Pain For Pride options, and it seems like they have made a decision!
(Alex and Ruler both begin to make their way into the ring as they’re greeted by puzzled looks all around by both teams already in the Unified Tag Team Championship match at Pain For Pride. Then, taking microphones from the ringside area while ‘Zombie’ begins to come to a close. Approaching the two teams, NICHOLISM begins to speak.)
Alex Myers: When we lost the Unified Tag Team Championships we can’t deny that was something that put a dent in our confidence. We were left wandering aimlessly, trying to find a purpose, and especially this close to the end of the Season it was clear that things were looking very bleak. So when we were left with the question of what we would do heading into Pain For Pride this year, it was a pretty puzzling dilemma. But while it was so easy to just go ahead and take the easy way out of all of our problems, when faced with another option, we knew what we wanted to do.
Ruler: While we were defeated at Fighting Spirit and we unceremoniously lost our Unified Tag Team Championships, that doesn’t mean things have changed between the two of us. That doesn’t mean that our passion for those titles have faded, because if anything, after what happened, it’s only grown stronger. If nothing else, we want them even more now seeing who has them and who’s next in line. British Invasion set this whole chain of events into motion and now it’s time for NICHOLISM to bring it full circle and beat the two teams that have been thorns in our sides for months now.
(The crowd once again begins to cheer for NICHOLISM, but at the same time, there’s a brief moment of silence between the now three teams in the ring. That is at least before…)
Kassidy Heart: :mjlol:
Sienna Jade: :mjlol:
Halsey Neel: :mjlol:
Pandora Paisley: :mjlol:
(British Invasion and The Jaded Hearts start laughing at this and NICHOLISM clearly looks unhappy about the response that they’ve been given. But before long as they begin to compose themselves.)
Kassidy Heart: Oh, you’re serious.
Sienna Jade: They are? It seems to me that what we’re being faced with is a team who’s already had their chance. NICHOLISM already had their opportunity, let alone with the Unified Tag Team Championships, and what happened? They already fumbled that. They let it slip when they could have walked into Pain For Pride with the Tag Titles. And while it was already an insurmountable goal to beat us without any sort of interference in the first place, I just don’t think that they deserve another opportunity just for them to come up short.
Alex Myers: And we know that. We’re not just going to come in here and sweep what happened under the rug, that would be stupid of us. We knew that if we were going to challenge you for those titles again, we were going to have to be better than we ever were and we know that we can reach that next level in terms of what we can offer as a team. Say what you want to say about us, laugh it up all you want, but we know our worth.
Ruler: We’re past the point of taking any of what you say seriously, and from here on we’re going to do what we feel we’re capable of doing and what we feel we’re capable of doing, especially since we’ve held them before, is taking our titles back. Since day one this has been NICHOLISM’s goal, and when we felt like we had some unfinished business after Fighting Spirit, we knew that this wasn’t going to be over. This is our moment now, and we’re not going to have it taken away from us. So simply put, we’re going to take it back.
Pandora Paisley: You’re truly two very funny people, and delusional at that if you think that you’re even going to take a gamble like this and come close to succeeding. This is not your time and it has never been, and to say that you weren’t anything but a charity case Champion, thrown a bone because of your “hard work” and “dedication” to the craft is kidding yourselves and making yourself believe anything but the truth.
Halsey Neel: Just like everyone else, we saw what happened at Fighting Spirit. We were barred from ringside so there were absolutely no excuses as to why you should have lost if you were as good as you said you were. But I guess we want to make false narratives, don’t we? I guess we want to just straight up lie to ourselves to make this situation convenient. Yeah, sure, I guess that’s the approach that we’re going for.
Alex Myers: We’re not making anything convenient to us. We knew that when we stepped into this this would be a very uphill battle, and there were going to be a lot of people that had a lot to say in terms of that. We knew that The Jaded Hearts were going to open their mouth, we knew that you two, British Invasion, were going to have something to say considering that you always have something to say.
Ruler: But that’s fine, that’s something that we’re willing to go up against. This is not a battle that we are going to lose, not because we want to like some of you, but because we don’t have a choice. We know that there is going to end up being a lot on the line for us and there are going to be a lot of critics that continue to hang this over our head if we fall for a second time. So simply put, we’re going to make sure that we don’t.
Kassidy Heart: You know what? Let’s stop beating around the bush. Giving you another opportunity is skeptical at best, but we’re not backing down from the challenge, we’ll defend against anyone, even you two.
(Halsey and Pandora both look unamused by this, but Pandora gives a begrudged sigh before she follows it up.)
Pandora Paisley: We’re not backing down either if this is really the path that you want to go down. We’re deserving of a real win over all of you anyway.
(Kassidy then looks at NICHOLISM before shrugging her shoulders.)
Kassidy Heart: Then it’s made, you’re welcome.
(Kassidy drops her microphone down to the ground along with Sienna Jade as ‘True Love’ begins to play through the speakers once again. The Jaded Hearts then take their leave while the shot focuses on NICHOLISM who watch on with satisfied expressions.)
Deadprez: Well if things couldn’t get anymore hype, there we have it! The Jaded Hearts will be defending the Unified Tag Team Championships against not just British Invasion, but NICHOLISM as well in a triple threat tag team match at Pain For Pride!
Gavin Kirkland: My precious match… what happened to you…?
Eve: Big time match for the biggest prize ion the division, this is what it’s all about! I’m sure we’re going to see this develop in the coming weeks, but what I can say is that the stakes with NICHOLISM’s inclusion have been raised higher than ever!
(The Jaded Hearts leave without a second glance, meanwhile, NICHOLISM and British Invasion are seen staring down one another with looks of disdain. It’s the last shot seen before Saturday Night Showdown, from there, begins to fade out to an ad for the EAW Hall of Fame 2024.)
(As Showdown returns from a commercial break, ‘Unf*ckwittable‘ by The Rolling Stones plays as the crowd begins to boo Jon Kelton who walks out onto the stage with just a cold stare laser focused on the task at hand as he makes his way down the ramp and enters the ring.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SET FOR ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM DALLAS, TEXAS…WEIGHING IN AT 207 POUNDS…”THE LAST HOPE”….JOOONNNN KEELLTTOONNN!!!
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac plays as the crowd roars at TLA coming out in a shiny blue lowrider. He pops out of it embracing the love of the crowd while making his way down to the ring.)
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT….FROM THE POON PALACE…..WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS…..”LA PANTERA SEXUAL”….T…L…A!!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Eve: And here we go as TLA and Jon both step out from their respective corners ready to get this match started as both if then look to gain some much needed momentum on the road to Pain For Pride –
(The roar of the crowd causes them to look at the entrance way where we see Ms. Extreme making her way down the ramp. She has her hands up in innocence as she makes her way over to the announce desk, while TLA simply just shrugs at it before turning his attention back on Jon while Camille sits down and puts on a commentary headset.)
Deadprez: Well welcome Camille, certainly nice to have you join us out here unexpectedly.
Ms. Extreme: Well thank you. Don’t mind me, just out here and wanted nothing more than to get an up and close look at the trivia question of who did Ms. Extreme beat to become Answers World Champion at Pain for Pride.
Gavin Kirkland: The two of them circle the ring now waiting for the other to make the first move, and then finally after a few moments both of them lock up in the center of the ring in a collar and elbow tie-up! It seems to be a struggle between the two on getting the upper used on the other as TLA shoves Jon back before running and clotheslining him over the top rope right out of the gate! Jon looks a little bit taken off guard with how quick that happened as he is telling the referee to back TLA up before getting back in the ring.
Deadprez: The referee does back away TLA a few feet as even TLA is giving Jon all the room he wants inviting him back in the ring. Jon Kelton manages to step inside the ring. He holds his hand in a halting position, making sure that the referee does his job in making sure he is backed away. TLA is obeying every command just ready for a fight. The two Elitists are standing across from each other as the referee steps aside, letting this match officially get underway once again — AND THEN TLA RUNS TOWARDS JON TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A DROPKICK TO HIS GUT! TLA BEGINS TO FIRE AWAY WITH SOME PUNCHES TO THE FACE OF THE FORMER NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION LOOKING TO START THIS MATCH STRONG AND DAMAGE JON EARLY! TLA LOOKS TO KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING AS HE PLACES HIS FOOT ON THE NECK OF JON!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! COME ON TLA BACK IT UP!
Eve: So Camille, what are your thoughts on competing against TLA and perhaps holding the Answers World Championship?
Ms. Extreme: We all know what I think of TLA. One of the most gifted performers in our entire I dusty who had done it all including being a Hall of Famer and multi time World Champion. Honestly, he’s the person I would want to beat in order to win gold again. I’m a former Universal Women’s Champion and I’m itching for that feeling of being a World Champion again and come hell or high water, I will accomplish that at Pain for Pride. It’s really unfortunate what happened with Viz and having to give his title up just weeks before Pain for Pride, but me and TLA are more than willing to step in place and steal the show and I’m more than capable of taking his place at the top of the mountain here on Showdown.
Gavin Kirkland: Oh don’t remind me again but how things ended for Chef Viz in such horrible circ*mstances. :mjcry:
Eve: Well back over to the action in the ring TLA picks up Jon by underneath the chin and pushes him against the ropes! TLA swings forward connecting with a knife edge chop to the chest of Jon now and TLA connects with another chop to the chest! He gets Jon by his arm before whipping him to the ropes across from them! BUT JON COUNTERS THE WHIP SENDING TLA TO THE ROPES AS JON RUNS RIGHT AFTER HIM BUT TLA MANAGES TO LIFT HIS FOOT UP BLOCKING HIM BUT JON MANAGES TO GRAB HIS FOOT AS HE CONNECTS WITH A DRAGON SCREW LEG WHIP! TLA GETS TURNED AROUND AS HE FINDS HIMSELF INTO A CRAWLING POSITION! Jon finds his way up to his feet as he lifts one of TLA’s arms up and looks at this — he does the magistral cradle as he has TLA’s shoulders down!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Deadprez: TLA manages to get himself out of the cradle as he rolls himself to his knees as Jon gets to his feet once more as Jon looks to connect with a penalty kick to TLA’s face, but TLA sidesteps out of the way just in the nick of time as Jon misses that just barely as he stumbles forward and TLA uses this window of opportunity and manages to grab Jon by his foot and pulls it back twisting it as hard as he can! Jon drops to one knee, but look at this…TLA still has Jon’s leg in his possession! More like he has him by the ankle as he rolls up to his feet as TLA has that ankle lock sinked in…but it’s not as secure as he would like it as Jon manages to scurry and clutch to the bottom rope quickly! TLA releases his ankle as he backs away! HE RUNS TOWARDS THE FORMER NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AS JON FALLS OUT OF THE RING THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE….AND LOOK OUT!
Eve: TLA RUNS FULL SPEED OFF THE ROPES AND DELIVERS A TOPE CON HILO TO JON ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING!! And then comes face to face with Camille at ringside who stands out of her chair.
Ms. Extreme: :notbad:
(Instant replay of TLA hitting the picture perfect Tope Con Hilo to Jon Kelton on the outside of the ring.)
Gavin Kirkland: TLA quickly turns his attention back to Jon as he rolls him back in the ring before hopping up on the apron and then ascending up to the top rope – “420!!” TLA HITS THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS ON JON AS HE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
Eve: And Jon Kelton survives getting the shoulder up at two and a half! Now it’s TLA who starts back at square one getting him off the mat before delivering an uppercut that drives Jon up against the ropes.
Deadprez: So Camille, is there any doubts or any butterflies with Pain for Pride so close having this big of an opportunity?
Ms. Extreme: What’s there to be nervous about? I’ve competed on the Pain for Pride stage for a World Championship before and I got the job done winning it, and I’ll work twice as hard to make that a reality for a second time in my career just like how I know TLA will as well, but I can tell you that no matter how much work he puts in, I will put in that little bit more. That’s how much I want and need this.
Gavin Kirkland: Jon is trying to grasp for some oxygen as he finds himself back to his feet! Not for long though as TLA goes over as he sees that Jon is rising back to his feet and he quickly goes to retrieve Jon, but Jon manages to connect with a punch to his face as that takes him back knocking him backwards a few feet! TLA returns the favor by connecting with a punch to Jon, but Jon connects with a knee to her gut! He bends forward in response as Jon picks him up and rolling him up and then slamming him to the mat! TLA’s spine contorts as Jon picks him up once more as Jon points to one of the corners and goes for it! He places his foot on the turnbuckle before throwing TLA head first there!
Eve: TLA stumbles back, but Jon manages to get his grasp on him before throwing him to the turnbuckle! Jon manages to keep him there before connecting with some shoulder thrusts to the ribs of TLA! Jon backs up a few feet before running and DRIVES BOTH KNEES INTO HIS CHEST BEFORE FOLLOWING IT UP WITH A MONKEY FLIP! JON FOLLOWS IT UP BY GOING UP TO THE TOP – AND JON CONNECTS WITH A FROG SPLASH TO THE RIBS OF TLA!! BOTH TLA AND JON HAVE CONNECTED WITH HIGH RISK MOVES ON ONE ANOTHER SO FAR AND AND HERE’S THE HOOK OF THE LEG FROM JON!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: TLA gets his shoulder up as Jon looks to stay on the attack here not giving him any room to breathe. Jon gets him up by picking him up from the front, but look at TLA trying his best to fight out from his grip with shots to the ribs, but Jon puts a stop to that as he drives the knee into the gut before placing him between the legs and picking him up in a powerbomb position and looks to go for a buckle bomb in the corner..BUT TLA COUNTERS IT TRANSITIONING INTO A HURRICANRANA AND JON HITS THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE FACE FIRST!
Gavin Kirkland: Jon might be in a vulnerable spot here as he stands up in the corner….AND TLA RUNS AND DELIVERS A RUNNING DROPKICK STRAIGHT TO THE FACE!! Jon might not have a clue on where he is at the moment as TLA drags him back to the middle of the ring and jumps up locking in a triangle choke!! TLA has the triangle choke applied as Jon drops down to a knee with TLA squeezing the breath out of him. Jon is like a fish out of water trying to find a way out of this but it looks like there is no way out at least for the moment as TLA is holding on and squeezing with all of the strength he’s got! Jon continues trying to get out of this as he is just squirming trying to escape…
Eve: But look at this….JON JUST DEADLIFTED TLA OFF THE MAT AND GOES FOR THE BUCKLE BOMB WHICH CONNECTS AS TLA’S HEAD WHIPLASHES OFF THE TURNBUCKLE! TLA steps out from the corner and then right into the arms of Jon – AND JON WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION….JON HITS “EGO TRIP!!!” THE FUTURE SHOCK DDT DRILLS TLA’S HEAD INTO THE MAT BEFORE TURNING HIM ON HIS BACK AND GOES FOR ANOTHER COVER!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA GOT HIS SHOULDER UP AND KEEPS THE MATCH GOING! And now Jon thinks of what next to do in order to keep TLA down.
Ms. Extreme: I think we all know it’s going to take more than that, and I think Jon even knows that.
Deadprez: I think you’re correct on that as Jon doesn’t waste any time going back on the attack as he stands up and slowly begins stomping away at the body of TLA before thinking of his next move. Jon continues to stomp on his limbs before Jon now looks to the corner before walking over and climbs up to the top rope and balances himself up high looking down at TLA who hasn’t moved an inch….AND JON LEAPS OFF AND GOES FOR A SECOND FROG SPLASH…BUT TLA GOT THE KNEES UP JUST IN TIME – AND UH OH LOOK OUT!! TLA IMMEDIATELY GRABS A HOLD OF HIS ARM AND LOCKS IN “CROSSED PATHS!!!” HE HAS HIS CROSS ARMBREAKER APPLIED AS JON IS FLOPPING AROUND IN A PANIC WITH NOWHERE TO GO!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA MIGHT HAVE JOB EXACTLY WHERE HE WANTS HIM AND JON MAY HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO TAP BEFORE THE ARM IS RIPPED OUT OF THE SOCKET! BUT JON CONTINUES TRYING TO FIGHT DRAGGING HIS BODY CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THAT BOTTOM ROPE…..AND HE GETS HIS FOOT UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE FORCING THE BREAK!
Eve: TLA is forced to let go of the submission but you have to wonder if the damage was done considering how long Jon was locked in the Crossed Paths.
Deadprez: They both crawl to opposite ends of the ring before stirring back to their feet and turning around to face one another…AND TLA HITS HIM WITH A STIFF FOREARM AS JON STUMBLE BACK AROUND AND TLA HOOKS THE ARMS LOOKING TO GO FOR A BUTTERFLY SUPLEX – BUT JON DROPS DOWN AS TLA ROLLS BACK UP TO HIS FEET….AND JON RUNS LOOKING TO GO FOR HIS “GALICK GUN” SUPERKICK…..BUT TLA CATCHES HIS FOOT BEFORE FLIPPING HIM BACK, BUT JON LANDS ON HIS FEET BEFORE RUNNING UP ON TKA AND DRILLING HIM ACROSS THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE WITH A STEP UP KNEE STRIKE AS TLA STUMBLES BACK A FEW FEET – AND JON HITS HIM WITH HIS “GALICK GUN” SUPERKICK! TLA DROPS TO BOTH KNEES….AND THEN JON HITS HIM WITH A SECOND ONE BEFORE FALLING ON TOP FOR THE COVER!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: TLA KICKS OUT AFTER TAKING TWO “GALICK GUN” SUPERKICKS! The frustration looks like it might be setting in on Jon as he thinks of what to do next again.
Ms. Extreme: Gotta hand it to TLA, it’s one of the things we love about him, his refusing to stay down mentality.
Eve: Are you enjoying this match right now with a lit being taken out of TLA’s tank?
Ms. Extreme: I think we all know TLA by now. One way or the other he’ll make it to Pain For Pride at one hundred percent and there won’t be any excuses for either one of us.
Deadprez: Jon doesn’t waste any time looking to take advantage of this window of opportunity running up behind TLA and hits a snap german suplex! TLA landed hard on the back of the head now this time as Jon stands up, shaking the cobwebs from damage he was put through a moment ago.
Eve: TLA stands up holding his head in pain and here’s Kelton who delivers a stiff right hand to the face, and then another one as TLA falls back into the corner! Jon then runs and drives both knees into his chest before following it up with a monkey flip toward the center of the ring yet again, BUT TLA SOMEHOW JUST LANDED ON HIS FEET!! Jon stands up and turns around before walking right into an enzuigiri kick to the side of the head as he falls back into the corner now. Momentum is just shifting back and forth between these two incredible athletes making the other earn everything they have gotten so far.
Gavin Kirkland: TLA is dazed in the corner, AND HERE COMES JON LOOKING FOR HIS THIRD SUPERKICK, BUT TLA CATCHES THE FOOT AND IMPROVISES GOING FOR AN ANKLE LOCK, JON ROLLS THROUGH SENDING TLA FACE FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE!! JON QUICKLY STANDS UP AND RUNS UP BEHIND HIM AND PULLS HIM DOWN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A ROLLING CUTTER – BUT TLA SPINS OUT OF IT BEFORE HITTING A STIFF FOREARM THAT KNOCKS JON DOWN TO A KNEE, AND THEN GETS HIM IN POSITION BEFORE HITTING HIS “VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT” KNOCKING HIM DOWN BEFORE CRAWLING OVER AND HOOKING THE LEG!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: JON KICKS OUT AT TWO AND A HALF!! WOW! What a flurry that was from TLA but Jon managed to survive it and save the match again at least for the moment as TLA thinks of what to do next in order to put Jon down for good in this match, and it looks like he might have an idea.
Gavin Kirkland: What a battle this has been between two unbelievable athletes so far as they are throwing everything out there in order to pick up some much needed Pain for Pride momentum. Both of them crawl to opposite ends of the ring after several moments before standing up and turning around to face each other…AND A RIGHT HAND FROM TLA! AND JON RESPONDS WITH A RIGHT OF HIS OWN! BOTH MEN ARE GOING BACK BACK AND FORTH UNTIL…AN ENZIGURI FROM JON….BUT THEN TLA RESPONDS WITH A VICIOUS HEADBUTT TO THE HEAD!! AND NOW TLA RUNS OFF THE ROPES –
Eve: TLA GOES FOR A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE, BUT JON DUCKED IT AND THEN PULLS HIM IN AND GOES FOR “EGO TRIP”….BUT AGAIN TLA ESCAPES AS HE SPINS OUT OF IT BEFORE PULLING JON IN FOR A RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE ACROSS THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE!!! TLA MIGHT HAVE JON EXACTLY WHERE HE WANTS HIM AS HE RUNS AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES – BUT JON CATCHES HIM IN MID AIR WITH “GALICK GUN!!!” JON CRAWLS OVER AND THROWS HIS ARM OVER TLA’S CHEST!!!
Ms. Extreme: That just might do it.
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Ms. Extreme: OH I spoke too soon!
Deadprez: TLA somehow survived the superkick for a third time! This time the frustration is clear on Jon’s face as he quickly gets TLA up off the mat looking to out the finishing touches on this one….AND HE PICKS HIM UP ON HIS SHOULDERS IN THE FIREMAN’S CARRY AND SETS HIM UP FOR THE “ANTI-LIFE EQUATION” –
Eve: BUT TLA DRIVES HIS ELBOW INTO THE SIDE OF HIS FACE FIGHTING BACK BEFORE SLIDING OFF HIS SHOULDERS FROM THE BACK BEFORE GRABBING HIM AND RUNNING HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE STEEL RING POST THROUGH THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE! Jon could be in deep trouble here as he pulls himself out from the corner – AND TURNS INTO A SUPERKICK FROM TLA THIS TIME! TLA STOPS HIM FROM FALLING AND POSITIONS HIM BETWEEN THE LEGS – “MEXICAN DESTROYER”!!! THE MEXICAN DESTROYER DROPS JON RIGHT ON HIS HEAD AS TLA FLIPS HIM ON HIS BACK AND GOES FOR THE COVER ONCE MORE!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac plays as TLA stands up and gets his hand raised. Ms. Extreme stands up from the commentary nodding and giving a round of applause.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER….T…L…A!!!
Ms. Extreme: Very impressive, I’m for sure gonna have my hands full come Pain for Pride.
(TLA after staring down at Camille slides out if the ring doing the title around the waist motion backing up on the stage.)
Eve: A very very impressive battle between two of the best Showdown talents.
(The last shot is Jon Kelton leaning against the ropes disappointed, obviously trying to refocus as camera slowly fades to an ad of Daryl Kinkade taking on Jon Kelton at Pain For Pride.)
(Showdown returns from the ad. A loud sigh can be heard as we tread to the backstage area, following the cameramen as we see Jon Kelton. He was limping and really brushing through the emotions of pain after his match with TLA. With that said, all of a sudden he would be approached by Kyra Phillips.)
Kyra Phillips: Jon Kelton, do you think I can get any words on your match tonight?
(The question was asked by Kyra to Jon, who just took a deep breath, laying against the wall. You could really see how much that match took out of him, but Kelton finally spoke.)
Jon Kelton: I am consumed right now; I need to refocus here! I am just ready to move on and shut this door. I am ready to get other things rolling in a new direction and I cannot do that with this cloud hovering over me! I am tired of laying back on this old hill, when it was never even built to be climbed.
(He said taking another deep breath, and trying to compose himself.)
Jon Kelton: This book has been opened for so long now, and I really am just ready for all of it too close. I am ready to start a new book with a new premise, because this one has been long, it has been drawn out, and it has been filled to the point where I no longer have interest..I have tried my hardest to sit here and not just straight up say that I am over it, but I keep finding myself right back in the same situation, no matter how far I run away from it. Always back in the same spot. I am trying to concentrate on what matters the most, what is happening now. I have Daryl Kinkade continuing to try and enter through my door. I have had to hear his voice for months now, and despite that – I continue trying my hardest to shut the door. But it seems that the only way for things to work out here is me slamming it in his face. The falling out of Devolution has been this long moving piece, confining me back, but I just am tired of reflecting on it. Not when I can and need to move forward. I don’t know what it is that I am stepping into come the time Daryl and I meet. He is making the rules and calling all the shots, so.. Here is my question, Kyra..
(Kyra raised an eyebrow, as Jon slowly adjusted himself to where he was standing once more, as he looked down at her.)
Jon Kelton: Do you think that you could tell me whatever the hell British Strong Style rules are? I have no idea what that is, and I am stepping into this big dance having no idea.
???: Is that all that you wanna know, bruv?
(As Kelton said that, none other than Daryl Kinkade himself would merge out of nowhere. He had a smile across his face seeing Kelton in brutal conditions after his match.)
Daryl Kinkade: Too bad what happened to you out there tonight, watch me beat the other half of the Main Event later. If that was the case and that was all that you truly wanted to know, bruv? You just shoulda asked me, cause it’s simple. The match must be won by pinfall or submission.
(That was odd, Kelton raised an eyebrow, was that really all…?)
Jon Kelton: Is that it? Just a standard one on one—
Daryl Kinkade: Hang on a second, because you didn’t give me a chance to finish. I said pinfall or submission, but there will also be– Zero rope breaks. There will be five rounds, five minutes each round. So there WILL be a winner no matter what. The person who has the most pinfalls wins there, man.
Jon Kelton: That doesn’t sound too hard then, I can get the job done, Daryl. You can put whatever stupid tagline you want, and try to deter it in your favor, I will be the one who puts all this crap behind me at the end of the day.
Daryl Kinkade: I admire the confidence Jon, as you continue to push the narratives you want to set in stone for yourself, and believe whatever you wish to believe when the time comes, but again.
(Daryl got in the face of Jon Kelton, as he kept that smirk. He looked at him before he just started laughing, which had Jon confused.)
Daryl Kinkade: You didn’t let me finish. This is a one of it’s kind type of match that we are having bruv, you gotta allow me to give you the entire rundown.
Jon Kelton: What other stipulation could you possibly add? Me with my arm tied behind my back?
Daryl Kinkade: That would have been an excellent idea. But I could also hear you crying and creating every excuse in the book after a situation like that.
Jon Kelton: Well then what is it? Tell me. Stop wasting my time, I could be doing a whole lot better things than listening to you try and make sense.
Daryl Kinkade: Closed fists are legal. Brutality at its finest. There aren’t going to be any excuses, and you can’t scapegoat yourself out of anything this time around, it is time for you to sink your teeth into a rough realization, you won’t have any excuse to back yourself up.
Jon Kelton: All I will need to excuse is you, as I will put you in my rearview mirror and never look back again. I am not giving you the time of day any longer, there are brighter horizons for me to stand in.
Daryl Kinkade: Let’s just see how you fair here, because this is going to be the most difficult test of your life. This isn’t me putting a name in front of something and seeing if you can handle it, this is again, brutality at its best, bruv.
(With another laugh, Daryl Kinkade turned his head and walked away. Jon Kelton looked on, with an annoyed look on his face, as he was cycling through the concept of British Strong Style Rules. With that shot being held, Showdown would fade elsewhere.)
(Showdown fades to ringside and once again, as always for these kind of scenarios, Alana Starr was here once more to host one of the contract signings, she stood behind the table with a bright smile as the contract for the National Elite Championship match was in the middle and there were three other chairs around for the women of the match to sit down. Alana quickly picked up a microphone and cleared her throat while of course, the crowd did not receive her well.)
Alana Starr: Yes, just like all of you, I am also very excited to see and work for my first Pain for Pride, let me tell you, everyone from the Showdown sing of things I am sure are going to give a GOOD performance, just like all of the women that are going to participate for the National Elite Championship despite the… complications that ended up happening last week, but without further adieu, let’s welcome our participants!
(“‘Old Scars/Future Hearts” by All Time Low plays on the speakers and the crowd roars first with deafening cheers, as Raven quickly came out of the entrance wearing something casual but fashionable at the same time because of the contract signing, but she was ready to fight at anytime if any of the crazy women in the match wanted to pick something with her, and knowing Miku and Veena, they would definitely try it.)
Eve: Raven has had a very interesting couple of months when she first returned here at Showdown, her journey here coming to Pain for Pride being very chaotic when it came to dealing with Devolution, Caroline, Madison and Miku respectively, and now with her chance at being able to become a Grand Slam Champion close to her grasps, but once again those plans have to been forced to take a detour due to the presence of Miku Sakai, and now she is going to have to face an old foe in the form of Veena Adams.
(Raven happily accepted the support from the crowd, raising her arms up a bit and giving a few high fives but she was mostly focused on getting this contract signing done as fast as possible and make sure none of these women got the jump on her. She quickly jumped onto the ring apron and entered through the ropes, walking over to calmly take her seat and just before she could sit down…)
(“STFU!” by Rina Sawayama started to play on the speakers once more and the crowd switched up and started booing, Miku walking out with a hoodie and a colorful skirt but instead of having her hair in her usual pigtails, she put it straight down because she could genuinely not care right now to go to this contract signing in a presentable way and she too wanted to get this done as fast as possible.)
Deadprez: As for Miku, she has been able to stay above and afloat when it came to the other competitors and wrestlers in the Showdown roster, but she has had some very bad luck when it came to other opportunities and her attempts at trying to gain some championship gold this whole season, and now she has her last chance here at trying to end the season in a high note, but with the way Veena Adams has been able to wrestle against the competition and succeed against almost every single person that has come across her, and the way Raven has been a blockroad for her two times already, it is going to be a tough task.
(Miku had her hands in the pockets of her hoodie but she took them out to flip her finger off towards the whole crowd before putting them back in and then moving quickly to go up the steel steps and enter inside of the ring. Both Raven and Miku glared daggers at each other as Alana made sure to step in between them so they did not start attacking each other out of nowhere, with Miku huffing and then going to get her own seat. And just as she sat down…)
(“7 Rings” by Arianna Grande starts playing on the speakers and this time the crowd is much more mixed compared to the two previous women with boos and cheers all around. She of course showed up in a fur jacket and a pink outfit all around as once again she walked down the ramp incredibly confident.)
Eve: And-
Gavin Kirkland: MY NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION LOOKING FABULOUS IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE WHEN WALKING DOWN THE RING! I KNOW THAT IS THE WOMAN OF MY DREAMS- I MEAN, THE WOMAN OF EVERYONE’S DREAMS, AND ONCE AGAIN SHE WILL GO TO PAIN FOR PRIDE TO SUCCEED!
Eve: I knew it was too good to be true hearing you be quiet but indeed, Veena Adams has certainly been unstoppable in some way the past few months, knocking down everyone who has tried to take the National Elite Championship away from her but now she is going to possibly face her biggest challenge in the form of both Raven Roberts and Miku Sakai.
(Veena quickly got onto the ring apron and then she slowly went through the ropes, rolling her eyes as Raven and Miku focused their anger this time on Veena specifically as she went to sit down at the head of the table, crossing her leg over the other one with a confident grin on her face as the music died down and Alana quickly spoke up.)
Alana Starr: Alright, now that that is over please-
Miku Sakai: WHAT THE f*ck WAS ALL OF THAT LAST WEEK???
Raven Roberts: Oh, now you think you got permission to start yelling? I should be the one doing it because of the way that I got screwed!
Miku Sakai: Nobody gives a sh*t about your feelings Raven, I AM THE VICTIM HERE!!!
Raven Roberts: The BOTH of us are the victims, actually, why are we getting angry at each other? We should be getting angry at HER!
(Raven quickly points to Veena and both her and Miku immediately turn towards Veena with anger on their expressions as Veena acts shocked and surprised, in a very fake manner.)
Veena Adams: Moi?
Miku Sakai: I hate agreeing with Raven so I will simply act like I made that comment first, YEAH, YOU! You have been acting like a godforsaken bitch ever since you won that championship and you believed yourself as some kind of God that can no do wrong, but all of everything that I have gone through, the losses, the times that I was so close to reaching what I deserved and what I needed to do to be able to succeed after I got taken out the way that I did, after suffering that kind of injury I went through almost two years ago, I have come back to prove that compared to me all of you bitches are ten levels down below me, that championship that you have on your shoulder right now is going to belong to me-
Raven Roberts: Getting ahead of yourself a little bit here, are you not? Who are you calling out on being egotistical when you are the person that you are? You have instigated me, you have tried to push my buttons when I have never asked for it or deserved it in the first place, you are a completely toxic person and it is funny that you are calling someone else who as equally as toxic the same things I have said to you, I have tried respect and you spit on me for all of what I did, and that is why at the last moments before SOMEONE interrupted I was going to end up beating you decisively once and for all, and due to someone else’s mistake, now you are going to end up rambling on forever for the entire week about how you were going to win without any reason, your faults, your flaws, everything ugly that makes Miku Sakai the person that she is will never let her win a championship again, it has happened before and I am not doubtful on the fact it will happen once more, meanwhile-
Veena Adams: You are going to lose as well?
Raven Roberts: Miss Insufferable finally making herself known? I knew it was too good to be true when I first came back that suddenly people liked to support you now? But I knew deep down, that ugly attitude of yours would pop up again, you did not change a bit.
Veena Adams: In attitude, duh! But when it comes to my wrestling skills, I have grown leaps and bounds, none of the dumbasses in this roster can barely touch me in anyway, including YOU now Raven, say all you want all of those years ago when it came to the Beating Hearts of Voltage, all of you succeeded over me and Charlie despite my best attempts, but I got the last laugh at the end of the day, I became a Two Time National Elite Champion while you had to run away with your tail between your legs because you did not like wrestling anymore apparently, or whatever sob story you gave when you came back, you all talked about screwed? I was screwed in the first place before all of you by letting them make your match, you two bitches did not even deserve to have this match in the first place, Miku has been a complete loser this whole season and just because “apparently” Raven can come back and get a free title shot like that? Just simply no!
Miku Sakai: And you made things worse for yourself by INTERFERING???
Veena Adams: A small stumble in plans but whatever, if they are really going to force the two of you down my and everybody else’s throats, then I am going to puke you out down the trash and show that I deserve to be National Elite Champion forever-
Miku Sakai: BLAH BLAH BLAAAAHHH! JUST GET THIS THING DONE ALREADY I WANT TO GO HOME!
Alana Starr: That is what I was going to say before you all rudely interrupted me, please sign the contract!
(Raven did not waste any more time that she needed, grabbing the pen and the contract, signing it and then passing it onto Veena, and surprisingly, it was calm as well when she ended up signing the contract, passing it onto Miku who annoyingly signed her signature and then pushed it away, moving to get up-)
Eve: VEENA BLASTS MIKU RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE WITH THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP!
Gavin Kirkland: HAHA, YES! VEENA ENDS UP GRABBING MIKU AND THEN DROPS HER RIGHT THROUGH THE TABLE IN THE MIDDLE! ALWAYS GET YOUR GUARD UP WHEN FACING HER-
Deadprez: “TALON”!!! RAVEN KICKS VEENA’S HEAD OFF AND SHE IS THE ONE LEFT STANDING BETWEEN THEM ALL!
(Raven looks pissed and determined as she sees Veena and Miku all laid out, as she quickly moves over to grab the National Elite Championship and raises it up high in the air above her two opponents for Pain for Pride, as Showdown goes to commercials in that last shot.)
(The camera returns to ringside, but instead of heading straight to the ring for the next match, it focuses on Deadprez at the commentary table.)
Deadprez: Welcome back to Saturday Night Showdown, everybody. But before we head to the ring for our next match, allow me to welcome our special guest commentator for this next match. He is one of the two challengers for the currently Vacant Answers World Championship at Pain for Pride. He is the one and only T! L! A!
(The camera shot widens to show TLA sitting at the edge of the table next to Eve as he gives a smile to the camera.)
Eve: TLA, thank you for joining us back out here for commentary. We can’t wait to get your input on this match, especially since one of the competitors is your opponent at Pain for Pride.
TLA: Hola, Eve. It’s my pleasure to be here and to provide any expertise that I can. It’s only fair since Ms. Extreme was on commentary for my match. I feel like I should return the favor.
Gavin Kirkland: We are glad to have you here and still representing Showdown!! WOOOOOOOO! Let’s send it to the ring.
(The camera now heads to the ring where Gina Romano is standing as she is ready to begin the introductions for the final match of the evening.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen! This next contest HAS TELEVISION TIME REMAINING AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘RED THUNDER’ by Butcher Babies immediately starts playing as Ms. Extreme enters the arena to loud cheers from the crowd. Camille is ready for action as she heads right to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first and making her way to the ring! From Calabasas, California! Weighing 140 pounds. Here is “THE PROBLEM CHILD” MS. EXTREME!
Deadprez: Here comes Ms. Extreme as she is getting ready for her first match since her return to the Showdown roster a few weeks ago.
Gavin Kirkland: I am honestly glad that Camille is back on Showdown. She looks amazing!
(Ms. Extreme walks by the commentary table as she and TLA lock eyes, which leads to a smirk forming on TLA’s face before she walks away.)
TLA: Hola, Camille. Como estas?
Eve: Well, TLA. Camille looks ready for action as she locks eyes with you. In three weeks, it will be more than a staring contest as one of you will leave as a World Champion. Tonight, she needs to worry about a man who can have a very devious nature.
(Extreme enters the ring and takes her corner as her music is quickly replaced by “Kamikaze” by RedHook. Seconds later, the trio affectionately known as The British Invasion enter the arena to loud boos from the crowd. Daryl Kinkade is leading the pack while being flanked on the side by Halsey Neel and Pandora Paisley. The trio look at each other and nod as they head to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing her opponent! Representing the British Invasion and accompanied by Halsey Neel and Pandora Paisley! From Norwich, England. Weighing 225 pounds. Here is “THE KINK OF ELITE” DARYL KINKADE
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes Daryl Kinkade and look!! We get to see Halsey and Pandora again! Ohhhh I am the luckiest man in the world. This is making my eyes very happy.
Eve: You’re sickening, but of course the British Invasion is here in full force. We discussed earlier tonight about the Pain for Pride matches the British Invasion will be involved in, so they are looking to build as much momentum as they can.
TLA: Vato still calls himself the Kink of Elite. Kinda creepy if you ask me.
Deadprez: So many matches at Pain for Pride are being represented within this match. This is our main event of the evening! Who will leave victorious? We’re about to find out.
(Daryl enters the ring while Halsey and Pandora take their place at ringside all while Daryl’s music fades off. The referee then checks both competitors before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: Main event is underway and they are ready for action as they immediately head to the center of the ring to lock up and it is Daryl who gets the early advantage with a side headlock, but it doesn’t last long as Camille throws elbows to the ribs and immediately gets free.
Deadprez: CAMILLE JUST TOLD DARYL TO BRING IT ON! Extreme’s attitude on display as Daryl runs in AND EXTREME TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A HIP TOSS! Daryl is back to his feet, BUT HE IS MET WITH A DROPKICK TO THE FACE!
Gavin Kirkland: Camille goes to hit the ropes, BUT THERE’S HALSEY NEEL WITH THE INTERFERENCE! THE REFEREE WAS WITH DARYL SO THEY DIDN’T SEE HALSEY TRIP CAMILLE!
TLA: Guess it isn’t a full match unless all of the British Invasion get involved. Feels like a handicap match, right?
Deadprez: You got that right. Camille reaches through the rope AND SHE TRIES TO TAKE A SWING AT HALSEY, BUT HERE COMES DARYL OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A GUILLOTINE STYLE LEG DROP ACROSS THE BACK OF CAMILLE’S NECK!
Eve: Extreme falls through the ropes and to the ringside floor. The referee is right there telling British Invasion to back up. Daryl gets back into the ring and gets some speed and momentum on his side AS HE DIVES THROUGH THE ROPES–
Gavin Kirkland: SUICIDE DIVE BY DARYL KINKADE AND HE TOOK CAMILLE BACK DOWN TO THE FLOOR AFTER SHE BARELY GOT ABCK TO HER FEET! Thanks to the British Invasion, Daryl is in control and the beautiful Camille is in trouble. I don’t like it.
TLA: Chico, you certainly like the ladies, don’t you?
Eve: That is putting it VERY mildly, but the referee has started a count as Daryl grabs Camille and brings her closer to the ring. Instead of rolling her back into the ring, HE SMASHES HER FACE AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE RING!
Deadprez: Extreme gets up close and personal with the ring apron as Daryl gets on the apron himself. He brings Camille back to her feet and gets her into the reverse DDT position. This is not going to be good–
Gavin Kirkland: DARYL TRIED FOR THE REVERSE DDT ON THE APRON, BUT EXTREME BLOCKED IT! Daryl looked to try it again, BUT EXTREME MUSTERS UP SOME POWER AND COUNTERS WITH A MODIFIED REVERSE NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX!
TLA: Daryl got up close and personal with the ring apron himself. These two can both be very vicious in the ring. I know that firsthand.
Eve: Daryl went spine first onto the ring apron and Camille rolls him back into the ring. The referee is still counting as Extreme gets back into the ring and she finds herself on the second rope.
Deadprez: Daryl is on his back AND CAMILLE COMES OFF THE SECOND ROPE AND DELIVERS A LEG DROP! DIRECT HIT AS IT LANDS ACROSS DARYL’S THROAT AS CAMILLE PULLS DARYL AWAY FROM THE CORNER AND HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
Gavin Kirkland: DARYL KICKS OUT AT TWO! Extreme doesn’t waste a second as she mounts Daryl AND STARTS THROWING LEFTS AND RIGHTS INTO DARYL’S SKULL! DARYL IS TRYING TO BLOCK AS MANY PUNCHES AS HE CAN!
TLA: The last thing you want to do is get Ms. Extreme mad. She has a very hot temper. I mean she was dangerously close to ripping Bronson’s head off.
Deadprez: She was and now she grabs Daryl by the ears and brings him back onto his feet. Camille with a facelock AND SHE TAKES DARYL UP AND OVER WITH A SNAP SUPLEX AND CAMILLE FLOATS OVER FOR A COVER—
Eve: BUT DARYL MANAGES BRIDGE UP BEFORE A COUNT COULD BE STARTED! Extreme gets back on her feet AND SHE SITS DOWN ON DARYL TO TRY AND BREAK THE BRIDGE BUT IT DIDN’T WORK!
Gavin Kirkland: Extreme is back on her feet AS SHE PULLS DARYL UP! DARYL JUMPS AND PUTS HIS FEET ON CAMILLE AND FALLS BACK BEFORE COUNTERING WITH A MODIFIED MONKEY FLIP!
TLA: Leave it to the “Kink of Elite” to use a Monkey Flip. Homie sets up his own jokes and innuendos.
Eve: Give credit to Daryl for coming up with a counter like that. Camille is back to her feet and Daryl tries to whip her to the ropes, BUT CAMILLE COUNTERS AND SENDS DARYL TO THE ROPES!
Deadprez: Daryl leaves his feet and hits the ropes with a handspring before coming back AND KICKING EXTREME RIGHT IN THE HEAD! BEAUTIFUL HANDSPRING ROUNDHOUSE KICK BY DARYL KINKADE!
Gavin Kirkland: Ms. Extreme was dazed after the kick to the head and it sent her stumbling into the ropes. Camille comes off the ropes AS DARYL LEAVES HIS FEET AND PLANTS HER WITH THE REVERSE STO!
Eve: CAMILLE KISSES THE CANVAS! Daryl rolls Extreme over as he hits the ropes to build some momentum BEFORE HE FLIPS BACK AND HITS THE STANDING VERSION OF THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS BEFORE HOOKING THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
TH-
Deadprez: CAMILLE KICKS OUT AT TWO! These two are pulling out all stops in order to win this match and the best is yet to come. TLA, what do you think so far?
TLA: So far it’s been a pretty good match. Competitors are going to be bringing their best in the upcoming weeks as we head to Pain for Pride.
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl is back on his feet and he grabs hold of Camille’s head AND HE HAS THE DRAGON SLEEPER APPLIED! SUBMISSION APPLIED IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! I really don’t like seeing beautiful ladies get tortured like this.
Deadprez: All the women in EAW are as tough as nails so you have nothing to worry about, but Extreme’s neck is being tortured in the center of the ring and the referee is right there to see if Ms. Extreme submits or passes out.
TLA: Daryl Kinkade would frequent the Poon Palace before Ms. Extreme taps out. She’s a tough competitor. Nobody can doubt that at all.
Eve: I couldn’t agree more. But right now, Daryl has that Dragon Sleeper in tight and he is really putting a torque on Camille’s neck as well as causing damage to her back.
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MS. EXTREME IS FIGHTING! SHE IS TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF THE SUBMISSION! Meanwhile, Halsey and Pandora are there yelling at her to just give up.
Eve: MS. EXTREME GOT FREE! HER HEAD IS FREE OF THE DRAGON SLEEPER! Camille takes the chance and grabs Daryl’s arms AND TAKES HIM OVER WITH A MODIFIED SNAPMARE!
Deadprez: Daryl gets back to his feet and hits the ropes to come back, BUT MS. EXTREME JUMPS UP AND TAKES DARYL DOWN WITH A FRANKENSTEINER! WHAT A COUNTER!
TLA: Now things are starting to pick up. I’ll admit I’m also learning a lot for Pain for Pride.
Gavin Kirkland: MS. EXTREME TOOK DARYL OVER AND WAS THROWING MORE RIGHT HANDS INTO DARYL’S SKULL BUT THE REFEREE IS THERE WITH A COUNT AND THAT FORCES CAMILLE TO STOP THE PUNCHES!
Eve: Camille brings Daryl back to his feet and throws a few forearms before turning Daryl around AND SHE IS USING DARYL’S HAIR TO PULL HIM UP INTO A GORY SPECIAL!
Deadprez: As innovative as it is, the move is illegal and the referee is right there starting another count. The referee reaches four AND MS. EXTREME JUST DROPS DARYL FACE FIRST INTO THE CANVAS!
TLA: Not the best way to spend a Saturday night. Something I need to watch out for when Pain for Pride comes.
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl is down and Camille picks him up with amazing power and SLAMS HIM DOWN ON THE MAT! Now the lovely Camille is climbing up to the top rope.
Deadprez: Camille likes to fly, so who knows what move she is planning to go for, but it’s something that Daryl needs to watch out for–
Eve: MS. EXTREME HAS HER BALANCE ON THE TOP ROPE AND HERE COMES HALSEY NEEL ONTO THE APRON TO TRY AND TAKE MS. EXTREME OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE–
Gavin Kirkland: MS. EXTREME WITH A BOOT TO HALSEY’S FACE TAKING HER OFF THE APRON! THE REFEREE IS RIGHT THERE TELLING HALSEY TO STAY OFF THE APRON!
Eve: BUT THE DISTRACTION WAS ENOUGH FOR PANDORA TO JUMP ONTO THE APRON ON THE OTHER SIDE AND PULL CAMILLE’S FEET OUT FROM UNDER HER! MS. EXTREME FALLS AND LANDS HARD ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
TLA: There’s the numbers game coming into play on the part of the British Invasion. Shame that Pandora didn’t get caught. That backfire would have been funny.
Deadprez: The referee was with Halsey, so Pandora got away with one there. Daryl is back to his feet and he has made his way to the top rope.
Gavin Kirkland: Oh gawd. They are in a very dangerous spot right there so they need to be careful.
Eve: Both competitors are on the top rope as Daryl hooks both of Camille’s arms. They are both standing on the top turnbuckle AND DARYL LIFTS CAMILLE OFF THE TOP ROPE–
Deadprez: BUTTERFLY SUPERPLEX BY DARYL KINKADE! HOLY CRAP WHAT A MOVE! BOTH COMPETITORS CAME CRASHING DOWN HARD ON THE CANVAS–
TLA: Not bad. You do what you have to do sometimes in order to win.
Gavin Kirkland: BUT DARYL KEPT HOLD OF CAMILLE AND ROLLS THROUGH! Both competitors are back on their feet AND DARYL FLIPS OVER–
Deadprez: “MONKĒ FLIP” BY DARYL KINKADE AND MS. EXTREME WAS SPIKED RIGHT ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD! BEAUTIFUL COMBINATION OF MOVES BY DARYL AS HE FLOATS OVER TO THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRR—
Eve: EXTREME KICKS OUT AT TWO! VERY CLOSE NEAR FALL BY DARYL! HALSEY AND PANDORA ARE SHOCKED THAT IT DIDN’T FINISH THE MATCH RIGHT THERE!
TLA: After that set of moves, the end of the match could be coming soon, but don’t expect someone like Ms. Extreme to give up so easily. If she does, then that will speak volumes, homie.
Gavin Kirkland: Both of these competitors are tough to say the least, but you gotta give credit to Ms. Extreme for being able to fight against the numbers advantage.
Eve: Daryl is back on his feet first and he grabs Camille and brings her back on her feet. Camille has been put into the pumphandle position AND DARYL LIFTS CAMILLE INTO THE AIR FOR “HAIL TO THE VICTOR”–
Deadprez: AT THE LAST MOMENT, CAMILLE IS ABLE TO MANEUVER HERSELF OUT OF THE PUMPHANDLE AND SHE COUNTERS WITH A MODIFIED TORNADO DDT!
TLA: Daryl landed on his head. This is why Pain for Pride is going to be an awesome match. When me and Camille face off, we won’t have to worry about any of that interference bullsh*t.
Gavin Kirkland: TLA is right when he said that Daryl was spiked on his head. Daryl is down and Ms. Extreme is going to try one more time and climb to the top rope.
Eve: She finds her balance once more AND HALSEY IS TRYING AGAIN AND ONCE AGAIN SHE GETS KICKED BY MS. EXTREME! HALSEY KNOCKED OFF THE APRON AGAIN!
Deadprez: NOW PANDORA IS BACK ON THE APRON! IT’S LIKE DEJA VU OF WHAT HAPPENED JUST A FEW MOMENTS AGO WHEN CAMILLE WAS UP THERE THE FIRST TIME!
TLA: Anything to help the British Invasion win. It’s like their mantra or something.
Gavin Kirkland: The referee is once again admonishing Halsey for getting on the apron, BUT MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO KICK PANDORA IN THE FACE AND IT KNOCKS HER OFF THE APRON!
Deadprez: The ladies of the British Invasion are down as Daryl makes it back to his feet. Daryl is up AND MS. EXTREME JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE–
Eve: TOP ROPE STUNNER! “THE GLASS CEILING” FROM MS. EXTREME AND IT TOOK DARYL BACK DOWN TO THE MAT! THAT STUNNER WAS STRAIGHT OUT OF THE AVA FAMILY HANDBOOK! DARYL MIGHT HAVE BEEN KNOCKED OUT AS EXTREME GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: DARYL KICKS OUT AT TWO! OH GAWD THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE! Can you guys hear the sound of shock coming from the crowd? They thought the match was won there.
TLA: I thought it could have ended there, but it doesn’t shock me that the match continues. Chica is tough but everyone here is tough and has a bit of a screw loose.
Eve: I can agree with that, but LOOK AT THIS! PANDORA IS BACK ON THE APRON AND SHE IS TRYING TO GET IN THE RING, BUT THE REFEREE IS RIGHT THERE TRYING TO GET HER OFF THE APRON–
Deadprez: HERE COMES HALSEY COMING IN FROM THE OTHER SIDE AND SHE JUST CLOBBERS CAMILLE IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD! SHE DIDN’T SEE IT COMING AND THE REFEREE’S ATTENTION WAS DISTRACTED!
Gavin Kirkland: Halsey sneaks out of the ring and Pandora jumps off the apron. Now Daryl is back on his feet and he grabs Camille and lifts her up in the air AND SPIKES HER DOWN!
TLA: Oh come on! Is the referee really that oblivious to what is going down? I guess the cabron is a little clueless
Eve: “HAIL TO THE VICTOR” BY DARYL KINKADE! PUMPHANDLE PILEDRIVER BY THE KINK OF ELITE! CAMILLE ISN’T MOVING AND DARYL ROLLS HER OVER FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!
Deadprez: SHE KICKED OUT! MS. EXTREME GOT THE SHOULDER UP AT TWO! OH CRAP THAT WAS CLOSE!
Gavin Kirkland: AND THE BRITISH INVASION ARE ALL PISSED! THEY ALL RAN INTERFERENCE AND THEY STILL COULDN’T WIN THE MATCH!
Deadprez: Daryl is not happy that Camille is still in the match and he brings her back to her feet before whipping her to the corner.
Eve: Daryl comes running in AND CAMILLE CLOBBERS HIM WITH A SPRINGBOARD HEEL KICK THAT CATCHES HIM IN THE FACE!
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl is still on his feet, but Camille is once again going to try and climb her way to the top rope. Camille is finding her balance–
Deadprez: DARYL LANDS A RIGHT HAND TO MS. EXTREME’S JAW AND THEN HE FOLLOWS UP WITH A SPRINGBOARD KICK TO THE SIDE OF HER HEAD AND IT KNOCKS CAMILLE RIGHT OFF THE TOP ROPE–
Gavin Kirkland: Camille lands on her feet on the apron.You have to applaud the ring awareness of Ms. Extreme. Now Daryl tries to go for another kick to the head to knock her off the apron, BUT MS. EXTREME AVOIDS THE KICK AND DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY!
Deadprez: Extreme then counters with a shoulder block to the gut that forces Daryl to double over. Camille takes this opportunity AND LAUNCHES HERSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE AND SHE ATTEMPTS TO TAKE DARYL DOWN WITH THE SUNSET FLIP!
Gavin Kirkland: DARYL IS TRYING TO KEEP HIS BALANCE AND NOT GET ROLLED UP! DARYL IS STARTING TO FALL BUT HE DROPS DOWN AT THE LAST SECOND AND COUNTERS THE SUNSET FLIP! CAMILLE’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
Deadprez: LOOK AT THIS! DARYL REACHES OUT AS HALSEY AND PANDORA EACH GRAB AN ARM! OH COME ON!!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TLA: This is a load of crap. I am sick of sitting back and watching them get away with all of this.
Eve: Well TLA just took his headset off and he is leaving the announce table.
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t understand why in the world TLA is getting so annoyed with what the British Invasion has been doing. It’s all part of the business. Look at TLA! He has ran up to the ring where the British Invasion is and he is yelling at the referee to get their attention.
TLA: (off-mic) HOMIE!! LOOK UP, VATO!!
THHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Eve: THE REFEREE LOOKED UP AT THE LAST SECOND AND THEY GOT CAUGHT!
Deadprez:
Referee: (off-mic) THAT’S IT! HALSEY! PANDORA! YOU TWO ARE OUT OF HERE!! GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!
Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOOOOOOO! WHY WOULD THE REFEREE GO AND DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT? I WAS ENJOYING THEM BEING OUT HERE!
Eve: If you ask me, it’s about damn time that this happened. The ladies of the British Invasion have been ejected from ringside… thanks in no small part to TLA and his bringing it to the attention of the referee of Halsey and Pandora’s cheating.
Deadprez: None of the members of the British Invasion are happy right now after Daryl’s backup has been thrown
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl has been watching all the chaos unfold. The referee’s attention is completely off the match and Daryl has a devilish grin on his face as he rolls out of the ring!
Deadprez: WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING? THE REFEREE IS STILL WITH TLA AND THE BRITISH INVASION TRYING TO RESTORE ORDER! DARYL IS IN THE TIMEKEEPER’S AREA AND HE GRABS A STEEL CHAIR!
Eve: What a surprise! There’s chaos going on right now and Daryl is looking to take the easy way out and steal himself a victory. Daryl has slid back into the ring with the chair and he lifts the chair up. DARYL IS WINDING THE CHAIR UP!
Gavin Kirkland: DARYL IS READY TO TAKE MS. EXTREME’S HEAD OFF WITH THAT STEEL CHAIR AS SHE SLOWLY STARTS TO MAKE IT BACK TO HER FEET! WATCH OUT CAM—! HOLD ON! WHY IN THE HELL IS THE CROWD CHEERING?
Eve: IT’S JON KELTON! KELTON IS MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING TO MAKE SURE THAT DARYL DOESN’T TAKE ANYMORE SHORTCUTS IN THIS MATCH! Jon Kelton has slid into the ring AND HE GRABS THE CHAIR FROM DARYL!
Deadprez: KELTON HAS THE CHAIR IN HAND AND DARYL IS READING HIM THE RIOT ACT ALL WHILE THE REFEREE IS TRYING TO GET HALSEY AND PANDORA OUT OF THE RINGSIDE AREA!
Gavin Kirkland: Thank TLA for that. I like him, but why did he rat them out and force them out of the arena? They are leaving. I hate to see them go, but I love to watch them leave. DARYL TAKES A SWING AT KELTON, BUT KELTON ROLLS OUT OF THE RING!
Deadprez: DARYL TURNS AROUND AND MS. EXTREME CATCHES HIM AND ROLLS HIM UP! INSIDE CRADLE BY MS. EXTREME AND DARYL’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN! THE REFEREE TURNS BACK AROUND AND SEES THE ROLLUP!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘RED THUNDER’ starts playing again as Ms. Extreme lets go of Daryl and scrambles to get away from him as Gina Romano announces the final decision of the match.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… MS. EXTREME!
Deadprez: Certainly didn’t see that one coming. Daryl tried to crush the steel chair against Camille’s skull, but Kelton came out here and took the chair which led to the inside cradle and the victory for Ms. Extreme.
(Daryl is back to his feet, but he is quickly grabbed by the ankle and pulled out of the ring by Jon Kelton and they begin brawling.)
Eve: Just as quickly as the match ends, we have another fight on our hands as Daryl and Kelton are laying hands on each other. That British Strong Style Rules match is going to be interesting at Pain for Pride.
Gavin Kirkland: Where is security right now? Daryl and Jon are beating the hell out of each other up the entrance ramp and there is nobody stopping them.
Deadprez: Who knows why that is going on, but even though he took a lot of shortcuts in this match, Daryl really put a lot of effort into this match. It just was enough and he just got caught.
(The referee raises Ms. Extreme’s arm in victory as TLA enters the ring.)
Eve: Well there goes TLA into the ring after what went down and you have to give some credit to him after getting Pandora and Halsey ejected from the match.
(TLA gets face to face with Ms. Extreme and offers his hand for a handshake.)
Gavin Kirkland: This could go many different ways. There’s no real bad blood between the two, but in about three weeks, they will be going for the gold.
(Camille looks at TLA for a moment thinking about what she wants to do before she returns the handshake to the sound of cheers from the crowd.)
Eve: You gotta love sportsmanship like this. These two amazing competitors are gonna battle at Pain for Pride and it’s going to be an amazing match.
Deadprez: Most definitely. These two will proudly represent Showdown when they compete for the Vacant Answers World Cham—
(As TLA goes to leave, Camille pulls him back in AND SLUGS HIM!)
Eve: OH MY GAWD! WHAT THE HELL? MS. EXTREME JUST PUNCHED TLA IN THE JAW! I DON’T BELIEVE IT!!
Gavin Kirkland: All is fair in love and war in a situation like this. You do what you have to do in order to become World Champion.
Deadprez: TLA is holding his jaw in pain AS CAMILLE GRABS HIS HEAD BEFORE SHE SPINS OUT AND PLANTS HIM WITH THE TWIST OF FATE!! EXTREME PUTS TLA DOWN!
(TLA is down as Ms. Extreme stands over TLA before bending down and whispering something in his ear.)
Ms. Extreme: Sorry… not sorry!
Eve: Statement MADE! Ms. Extreme has just let TLA know that she believes she is going to be the next Answers World Champion!
Deadprez: Ms. Extreme stands tall in victory as well as stands tall over her Pain for Pride opponent. This is going to be a hard hitting Answers World Championship match. For right now, for Eve and Gavin Kirkland, I am Deadprez. Goodnight and see you next week for another edition of Saturday Night Showdown!
(The final shot has Ms. Extreme standing over a fallen TLA. She is looking down at him with a smirk on her face as the camera shot fades to black.)
(EAW Logo Buzzes…)
