Fan attention in Minneapolis, Minnesota’s famous Target Center is directed to the Knoxotron where West Orange’s own Aria Bankowski is seen dressed in classy business casual attire (white button up, black cropped blazer, black skinnies) the whole shebang….

The former HKW Bloodlust and RISE Champion came to a halt - opting to take a seat one one of the production crates used to help set the arena up for Defiance: a highly expensive production to see come to life on a bi-weekly basis.

Aria held her iPhone 7 in hand….Tapping away at it for a bit...She clicked one final button. The audience could hear a feint,

WEEOP!

ARIA BANKOWSKI: Come on, BunBun…

The former RISE standout athlete looked at her phone for a few moments. Even adjusting the volume so that there was no chance she could miss a potential text back from her older cousin who had always been a provider for herself as well as her mother: Brandon Banks. Despite being in a good place financially with a new main roster deal, Aria was emotionally setback.

She TRULY underestimated how much Brandon Banks meant to her everyday life. Every aspect of her relationship with her big cousin.

Him scaring her boyfriend…

Going out to buy him random food in the middle of the night…

Always demanding the best out of her...Which may be the primary factor in why Brandon cut Aria off in the first place.

ARIA BANKOWSKI: I know I let you down. I said that I was sorry for it already. I’ve been beating myself up about it since it happened. I’ve been waiting so long for a big stage like Defiance I dunno.

Defiance’s Darling said after her follow up call went straight to voicemail. She hung up, and then called back one more time. This time didn’t have a better result than the last.

ARIA BANKOWSKI: People probably think I’m some type of emotional dependent but it’s deeper than that, BunBun. You made sure me and Mom ate proper means everyday. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Before you moved us from Jersey City to West Orange we had to use food stamps. Get canned goods from the local church.

Letting out a soft sigh Aria hung her phone up once again.

ARIA BANKOWSKI: I just don’t know what to do to get this man to forgive me...Everything I’ve done was to be here. Felicity said this is the big leagues. Ugh….

Aria lifts her phone one more time. She starts tapping again, until a pair of manicured hands are seen sneakily taking her phone away.

✦LYZA REYES: Whatcha doin’, bonita?

This gets a pop from the crowd when they see the ITV Champion in a pair of light skinny jeans, blue pumps and a black tunic tank.

ARIA BANKOWSKI: I just miss BunBun, Ly.

Aria stated as Lyza folded her arms. The coveted HKW ITV Championship shining brighter than ever over her shoulder.

✦LYZA REYES: Moping around isn't going to make him respond any sooner. I know you miss him, but you need to prove him wrong.

Lyza placed the phone down onto the crate beside the one Aria was sitting on.

ARIA BANKOWSKI: He’s not making it easy for me…

The youngest Banks cousin sighed out.

ARIA BANKOWSKI: And on top of that?....He’s not in a good place right now. So I can’t even be there for him in that regard. Maybe I should’ve just stayed in RISE.

This gets a sigh out of Lyza. She hates seeing the younger Banks like this, especially since she saw it as growing pains.

✦LYZA REYES: Taking two steps back won't do anything. You're here now, might as well do something about it. Take a look at Boaz; he took initiative and even took a chance in competing for the Bloodlust Championship! Lowkey, Artemis is scarier than the ones that want to force us into fearing them. Nonetheless, it was a great match, and it doesn't look like he's close to done.

Lyza began patting her foot on the floor repeatedly.

ARIA BANKOWSKI: Gotcha. Maybe you’re right…

ARIA BANKOWSKI: Just maybe...the only way to get his respect back is to call somebody out for their title at House of Pain. So that’s what I’ll do. What better place to do it?...At Titletown I’ll challenge someone to a title match at War Ready.

Unbeknownst to Lyza (while she looked down to the ground)...Aria glanced at her ITV Championship for a few moments. Lyza lifted her head back up...Aria shifted her eyes away from the belt.

✦LYZA REYES: You just do that! Select carefully, and as you saw not too long ago, fruit baskets or any form of bribery will not work.

She playfully pats Aria on the shoulder, winking as she knew the former RISE student wouldn't even think to bribe her way into a title shot.

It was obvious that Lyza Reyes shared similar thoughts to Brandon (to a lesser degree) pertaining to the situation Aria had been having with the family. Bankowski seemed a bit perplexed at the thought of having to prove herself again when she had already out wrestled most people down at RISE. Somehow she would have to show Brandon, Lyza, and the rest of the family that she COULD be a fighting champion.

And well?

A plan was starting to brew…..

HKW Hall of Famer Jason Mentez walks along the backstage area looking left to right as if looking for something or somebody. A few seconds in a small smirk hits his face as he looks ahead at Mason Astor walking into the restroom as if perfect timing has been laid in Jason’s lap. Creeping forward he waits a while at the Men’s Restroom doorway before picking up a pair of handcuffs in one hands and his signature La Pena 16 inch industrial chain in the other and counts down to himself…

✦JASON MENTEZ: One…..Two…..

Jason rushes into the restroom yelling and guns blazing and it leaves the bathroom door to close and all you can hear is the fighting struggling grunts of Mason Astor against Jason’s yelling while throwing punches. After a while the noise from both men start to die down and all you hear is the ‘click click’ of metal. Moments later Jason is walking back out of the restroom sweat and a couple red spots under his cheek and scratches obviously showing struggle. The handcuffs no longer in his hand but the La Pena chain being tucked into the large pockets of his baggy jeans. Looking once again left to right he exhales a bit slightly satisfied.

✦JASON MENTEZ: Now to find her…

In the backstage area, we see the HKW World Tag Team champions, Team DLC, talking to one another. However, this conversation comes to a complete stop when Zack notices Inferno clenching his jaw, sharply turning towards the direction Inferno is looking at. The camera then pans over and shows Angelo Sands and Markus FK, neither smiling. Jones motions to Inferno to calm down before he turns to Sands and FK.

✦ZACK JONES: What do you guys want?

Angelo raises his hands up in innocence as he takes a step forward, his eyes darting from Inferno to Zack.

✦ANGELO SANDS: I just came to apologize. And...you said you wanted to talk after, right? Look, I know interfering in your match wasn’t smart. In fact, it was very freaking stupid. And for that...I’m sorry, alright?

Inferno seems to loosen up a bit, looking right at Angelo and nodding at him.

✦ZACK JONES: I accept your apology. I know you didn’t mean to hit me either. I watched the replay a few times. She ducked and I was on the receiving end of it. That, I’m okay with. What I’m not okay with and I’m not going to be okay with is that you thought of interfering in our match. We don’t like that, especially when we were trying to get revenge against the two women that attacked us and have attacked you.

✦INFERNO: Shway.

Angelo and Markus nod in agreement.

✦MARKUS FK: We get that...and it’s not something we usually do. You both know that’s not how we operate. But S&C...they’ve pushed us to the edge, man. They’ve crossed the line so many times, pushed our buttons so many times too, it was a miracle that something like this didn’t happen sooner.

✦ANGELO SANDS: Exactly. They stay doing s**t that they know will get some kind of reaction from us. That they know will make me want to brain them with a goddamn chair. We’ve dealt with a lot of annoyances since coming here to wrestling, including two dudes wearing matching singlets. But they have pissed me off way more than anyone else in this company or outside of Hard Knox Wrestling.

Zack chuckles.

✦ZACK JONES: That’s how I know you guys haven’t been around this business that long. Silk & Cyanide? Yeah, they’re different than most teams I’ve seen, but they still employ these mind trick tactics because they’re not good enough to go toe-to-toe against some of the best teams in the business.

✦INFERNO: The human heart is subject to monstrous deceit, yet only fools are enslaved by time and space.

Zack glances at Inferno as Inferno continues speaking with a British accent for an unknown reason.

✦INFERNO: It was around ten years ago, during a time that the preceding Inferno had gone away, that I was discovered on an island. The Island.

JACOB: From Lost.

✦INFERNO: With no memory of who or what I was, I was given one mission. To find Inferno. I was taken in by a Bear and a Kid and forced into a modern world I knew nothing about. Its heretic order nearly overwhelmed me. I had to adapt. Quickly. I soon discovered that the average person cannot be trusted. The average person will try to manipulate you, use you, in some way to their own gain. Why? Because they envy us. We who are naturally gifted. Born with immeasurable talent. We who have grinded hour after hour, battle after battle, match after match to gather our experience points and distribute them properly, hone our skill, and become what we are. In my case, in my search for Inferno, I became Inferno. I surpassed Inferno. I took it one step further, I teamed with Zack Jones. We, DLC we are what they hate. What they envy. We are what they want to be...what they’ll never be. It threatens them. Greatly. So they lash out. Silk and Cyanide lash out at a Planet that has given them little talent and almost no skill. Zack and I have learned to anticipate this. From every where. From anyone. At any time. You want to be the best, you must learn to adapt and underwhelm it, or it will overwhelm you. You must find the right amount of whelm. Angelo, Markus...you must whelm them.

By this point, Inferno is looking off into the distance. Jones nods before turning back towards TSIC.

✦ZACK JONES: So how about we do this? At House of Pain, we go out to that ring, then you join us, then we see if the other teams would be willing to come out too. And then we talk about this upcoming match. We let it all out. That sound good?

✦MARKUS FK: Sounds damn good.

Angelo nods in agreement.

✦ANGELO SANDS: Yeah, sounds fantastic. I guess I’ll see you out there, Inferno?

Sands extends his hand out to Inferno, who takes a few seconds before meeting it with his, the two sharing a handshake.

✦INFERNO: Yes, I’ll see you out there.

Angelo smiles, feeling relieved that Team DLC was not angry at him anymore.

✦WHISPER VIPERI: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is your opening bout of the evening and it is scheduled for one fall!

A countdown clock plays on the tron as the arena darkens, causing the fans to boo as the clock ticks closer and closer to 0.

TIME TO PLAY THE GAAAAME! MUWAHAHAHAHAHA!

The guitar intro for Motörhead's "The Game" filled the building and the fans erupt into a chorus of boos as the lights came up, revealing Jinzai standing on stage. He places a hand up to his ear and listens to the response, motioning for them to keep it going as the vitriol grows louder before flipping his hood back and revealing a cocky smirk on his face.

It's all about the game, and how you play it.
All about control, and if you can take it.
All about your debt, and if you can pay it.
It's all about pain, and who's gonna make it!


He walked down the aisle way, sneering at the fans at ringside, before coming to a stop midway down the aisle as he looks up at the ring. He gives a smirk, before he sprints down to the ring and dives through the bottom and middle ropes, immediately running to the nearest top rope and climbing up as he tells the booing fans to bow down to the greatest. He hopped down off of the top rope and tosses his hooded vest out of the ring, before he began to dart around the ring, bouncing off of the ropes as he warmed up for the match.

With Jinzai’s theme song slowly fading away, Whisper begins to announce the champion.

✦WHISPER VIPERI: And his oppone---

A sudden explosion from the crowd cuts Whisper off as Felicity Banks is seen jumping over the protective barricade with a steel pipe in hand!

✦JACK WARREN: Oh shit! Turn around Jinzai!

Not letting Jinzai even do that, she swings the pole right at the back of Jinzai’s leg, taking him down to the mat! Felicity immediately slides into the ring and throws the rod to the side, her eyes shooting daggers through the man she once considered a brother. Jinzai, grasping the back of his ankles is heard:

✦JINZAI: You’re f*cking wrong, Felicity. You know who you are!

The World champion shakes her head no, leaning her head forward to get right in Jinzai’s face.

✦FELICITY BANKS: I’m not this, and neither are you! This is the only way I can wake you up...

Moving over to grab her pipe, a chorus of boos is heard as Jaxon Queen is seen dashing down the entrance ramp to aid his friend!

✦BRIAN MASON: Here comes the calvary!

Felicity gestures for Jaxon to get in the ring, spinning the pole around like a ninja sword until she’s clipped in the back of the knee by Jinzai! Felicity drops the pipe and it rolls right Jaxon’s way, a smirk crossing the face of the Dynasty champion.

✦BRIAN MASON: I… I don’t like the look of this.

Jinzai immediately mounts Felicity and hammers away with a couple stiff shots to face while shouting “WAKE UP!” repeatedly. Jaxon then pushes Jinzai the side and presses the steel pipe against Felicity’s throat, her face slowly turning a soft shade of blue.

✦BRIAN MASON: Someone needs to stop this!

✦JACK WARREN: Get out of here. All of this well deserved. Karma isn’t a Banks, Mason. Karma’s a bitch.

Choking her out, Jinzai gestures for Jaxon to pull Felicity up with some kind of tandem move in mind. Jaxon grabs a handful of the Supreme’s hair, the crowd filling the arena with boos until…



The sound of Emilio Vialpando’s theme turns the boos into cheers instantly as the fourth member of UE rushes down the ramp.

✦BRIAN MASON: Do the right thing, Emilio!

✦JACK WARREN: Yeah! Help them finish her.

As Emilio makes his way into the ring he looks to both Jaxon and Jinzai trying to plead with them.

✦EMILIO VIALPANDO: This has to stop! It doesn't have to be this way, hermanos. I really doesn't. Just stop, let's talk about this.

Emilio says holding out his arms showing he meant no harm to them.

✦EMILIO VIALPANDO: Listen to me. You don't have to do this!

He looks over to Jaxon and down the the pipe his hand, the stubborn Felicity doing her best to get up.

✦EMILIO VIALPANDO: Just put the pipe down. Porfavor. Just put it down, let's talk.

Jinzai stares hard at Emilio and balls up his fist as Jaxon grips the pipe harder.

✦JINZAI: The time for talking is over, Hebi-Chan!

Emilio looks reluctant but doesn't hesitate any longer as he sprints across the ring and Front Dropkicks Jinzai straight out of the ring! Jaxon taking off guard by the lightening fast strike by Vialpando looks back with the pipe. He goes to swing on Emilio as he was getting up to his feet but no! Emilio blocks the attack by holding hold up his hands and grabbing the pipe! The two struggle for a moment until Emilio kicks Queen in the midsection and rips the pipe from Jaxon’s grasp! Queen looks up to see Emilio now wielding the pipe. The Dynasty Champion eyes grew large as Emilio looked to connect with the pipe but by the grace of God, Jinzai pulls Jaxon’s leg and drags him out of the ring for the save! Emilio goes to chase the two down with the pipe in hand as he starts to exit the ring and gets on to the apron but suddenly…”Hero” by. Skillet hits the PA System causing the crowd to pop once again!

✦BRIAN MASON: THE BOSS MAN IS COMING OUT!!!

✦JACK WARREN: NO WHY?! I WANNA SEE THEM KICK EMILIO’S ASS?!

The Defiance General Manager walks out on stage with a microphone in hand.

✦ROMEO PRICE:: Cut the music! I SAID CUT THE MUSIC?!

The general managers theme song abruptly goes off.

✦ROMEO PRICE:: I'm going to be honest with you four….I have been patient. Too patient. But I am sick and tired of you four specifically Mr. Shimane & Mr. Queen.

Price stares directly at them Jinzai and Jaxon.

✦ROMEO PRICE:: You all have been quite the nuisance as of late and I'm sick and tired of it all. Not to mention the man you four are associated with….hmph. I am tired of you all ruining each and every moment of Defiance these past few weeks including the Control main event!

Romeo looks at the four and shakes his head.

✦ROMEO PRICE:: It is clear to everyone now that the comradery between you four has disbanded and sides have been chosen. You all want to tear each other limb from limb because of breach of trust? Fine. Who am I to deny that? But one thing I will deny is when it ruins the great product the Defiance is!

The crowd pops.

✦ROMEO PRICE:: You all want a war? I'll give you a war. I'll give you something better than just a war…. I'll give you all War Games!

Another big pop.

✦ROMEO PRICE:: On one team we will have our World Champion Felicity Banks teaming up with the former World & Global Champion Emilio along with Dom Harter and our very own former ITV Champion Jackie Fowler!

Pops again.

✦ROMEO PRICE:: And on the other team….The Dynasty Champion and the former Hybrid Champion Jinzai. Who your partners will be in this match? I don't know and I don't care. But I want all of this to end. And mark my work lady and gentlemen, this will end at War Ready II.

Romeo drops the mic as Jinzai and Jaxon are seen with their jaws agape. Felicity is still in the ring, staring up at Vialpando while holding onto her busted lip.

✦JACK WARREN: DID YOU HEAR THAT!? WAR GAMES IS BACK!

✦BRIAN MASON: And what a bout it will be...but who in the World is going to team with Jaxon and Jinzai?!

Vialpando lowers his hand to help Felicity to her feet, a reluctant look on her faces. She wipes the blood from her cheek with one hand and uses the other to grab Emilio’s, the crowd exploding at the sight of the two UE members on the same page. Felicity is audibly heard saying “I told you.” as Defiance cuts to camera.

Gracing the outside world with the honour and privilege that is their presence, the two members of Silk & Cyanide are taking a casual stroll through the Target Center's backstage area, with a complete lack of interest in anyone or anything who happens to be sharing the same space as they are

As they continue to walk through the hallways, a thought crosses the mind of Sara Mason

✦SARA MASON: I've been wondering, E, if we've been allowing the other two teams to run around under the fool idea that they're free, when the reality is we have them on a slack leash?

Rather than respond immediately, Marini lets out an amused chuckle at the thought, although what exactly that thought might be is open to interpretation...

✦ERIN MARIANI: I did consider that we should have a little fun at their expense this evening, especially since I shall be having a little fun at their expense later this evening and it would be selfish for me to not share my toys, but then a thought struck me.

Rather than elaborate on her thought, Mariani removes a vaping pen from inside the bust of the corset she is wearing and takes a long, satisfying drag and holds it in her lungs for a few seconds before seductively exhaling a cloud of rose-scented mist accompanied by an amused chuckle emanating from her diaphragm

✦ERIN MARIANI: After all, we could drill ourselves that little bit further into the minds of those poor, lost fools who are so desperate for our attention that they would do anything in order to attain it, but surely it would be better to have them go cold turkey for a little while to make them realise just how much they want to prove their usefulness to us…in whichever way they would like to do so.

With a knowing look and the hint of a raised eyebrow, Mason understands exactly what Mariani is implying by that statement, so much so that a look that manages to look both devious yet also excited fills her eyes as she thinks about what wonderful things they can show them…

✦ERIN MARIANI: If that was not all, we both know what is going to happen this week: the ignorant fool is going to try and claim he didn’t mean it when he split open Zack’s poor, unfortunate head because he simply does not understand that, just because he lacks the intelligence that goddess gave to the common dog, that does not mean that everybody else is as stupid as he is. Far from it, as anyone with an ounce of common sense or sound judgment can clearly see who is being shafted and who is doing the shafting, and every single one of those people can see the ignorant fool and that brainless slab of hair and meat he calls a partner are the ones who are on the receiving end.

With the thought of what she has just said fresh in her mind , Mariani takes another satisfying drag on her vaping pen and this time looking like she’s really enjoying it, especially with the chuckle she lets out with her second cloud of vapour, and as she does so Mason knowingly nods

✦SARA MASON: So if Inferno is struck down by a near-fatal dose of self-respect and sees straight through the lies that dumb bitch tries to spin him, there’s no need to lift a finger against either team – because it wouldn’t be fair to stand in the way when one wants to tear apart the other, and all we have to do is sit back and watch as that moment of realisation crosses his face and it dawns on him that he did a very, very stupid thing to add to the long list of very, very stupid things he’s done lately.

Mason can’t help but snicker at the thought of Angelo Sands being so clueless about what’s going to happen to him

✦SARA MASON: And once Inferno has torn him apart, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t enjoy ourselves and stomp on the little fleshy pieces that remain, because as much as Inferno wants to release the pent-up anger and frustration that comes from seeing his partner left helpless, he really shouldn’t be allowed to have all the fun.

For a second a smile crosses Mason’s face…and then it disappears, just as quickly as it appeared

✦SARA MASON: …because how could they challenge for titles they clearly do not deserve if they’re unable to walk to the ring in the first place?

Hearing every last word of what Mason says, especially the last part, Mariani gives her partner a knowing look as he slips her vaping pen back inside her corset, and once it is securely placed she nods at Mason’s quite specific sentiments

✦ERIN MARIANI: Why indeed. Why indeed…

The scene opens with the Undisputed SAP North Atlantic Champion and newly crowned EPW Canadian Champion Felix Vialpando walking through the backstage entrance of the Target Center. As the fans see him appear on the Knoxotron the begin to boo only to be ignored by El Halcon. As he makes his way down the hall he seems to be a man on a mission as he doesn’t look to anyone or tries to speak to anyone. Suddenly, Eli Zayn comes running over to Felix with a microphone in hand.

✦ELI ZAYN: Felix, how goes it?

✦FELIX VIALPANDO: Get out of my face, Eli. I have something I need to take care of.

✦ELI ZAYN: Like what?

Felix ignores the question and keeps walking.

✦ELI ZAYN: Can you tell us why you weren’t here last show?

The former Global Tag Team Champion rolls his eyes.

✦FELIX VIALPANDO: A much needed vacation.

✦ELI ZAYN: Alright...So does your appearance here tonight involve you wanting your rematch with you c--brother, Emilio?

Felix stops walking and stares at Eli for a moment.

✦FELIX VIALPANDO: Don’t you freaking worry why I’m here. Just know I have something I need to take care of. Nobody else is going to do this for me, I have to do it my freaking self. Now stop following me you freaking insect.

Vialpando adjusts his two SAP Championships on his shoulders and keeps walking until the scene fades away.

The scene fades out to the arena where fans are seen awaiting what was to come next on tonight’s Defiance. The lights suddenly go out as well as the knoxotron and slowly “Lights Out” by. Breaking Benjamin begins to play.


A recording begins to play on the Knoxotron where a bonfire is seen on a beach under the night’s sky. The waves are head brushing up onto the sand in the background as the music continues to play in the background. As the camera gets closer to the bonfire blood seems to have stained the sand leaving the viewers to wonder where the blood was coming from.

The fire begins to grow bigger as the camera begins to follow the blood as the amount grows larger on the sand. The camera stops as it has found the source of the blood trails...well at least what may have caused it. The legs of a man are seen with blood dripping down them. As the camera pans up to the man’s torso that was covered in blood the scene begins to flash like a black strobe light. The camera continues to pan up revealing the man covered in blood with his long sandy blond hair covering his face as he looks down to the sand.

The man slowly begins to look up to the camera and the flashes begin to flash more rapidly until the screen went black.

The scene fades back in with the man revealing himself to be the one and only “Blazin’ One” Flame with his face covered in blood and his eyes pitch black before the screen fades to black once more!

DARKNESS IS RISING

The scene fades back out to the arena where Whisper Viperi was seen ready to announce the next match.

✦WHISPERI VIPERI: Ladies and gentlemen the next match is a triple threat match set for one fall!

Cheap pop.

Stick Em Up Kid" by Zebrahead blares throughout the arena as Angelo Sands steps out from behind the curtains with Markus FK and immediately begins pumping up the audience, a smile on his face.

✦WHISPERI VIPERI: Introducing first accompanied by Markus FK...ANGELO SANDS!!!

He quickly makes his way down the ramp, slapping hands with some of the fans before sliding into the ring.

Once in the ring, Angelo climbs one of the corners and begins trying to pump up the audience some more, still smiling. When he hops off, the young man runs the ropes a few times before backing up to his corner and beginning to stretch, waiting for the match to start.

Get down
On the ground
Don't move, make a sound
No more
No control
You do what you're told

Erin Mariani emerges at the top of the ramp with Sara Mason and pauses, a look on her face that combines her natural arrogance and her disdain for the lower forms of life currently gawking at her, before she begins to walk towards the ring with a sense of purpose in her stride

✦WHISPERI VIPERI: Hailing from Spokane, Washington...she is one half of Silk & Cyanide accompanied by the other half Sara Mason...ERIN MARIANI

Stand up
Sit back down
Your lies
Comes back around
Today
Patronized
Times up
Close your eyes

Upon reaching ringside Mariani walks up the ring steps to climb onto the ring apron and then climbs the ropes until she stands with one foot on the top turnbuckle and one on the middle rope, allowing her to literally look down upon the first few rows of the crowd, before using the lower foot to kip up and vault into the ring, twisting around as she descends so she's facing her opponent

Listen to the sound of my big black boots
With her eyes locked on her prey, Mariani casts a glance towards the referee as if to ask him why he hasn't rung the bell yet

‘Kalki’ by E.S. Posthumus starts to play. Once the intro is done, the lights cut out. The Sanskrit symbol for Capricorn appears on the Tron with the word “E.S. POSTHUMUS” underneath it. A column of light shines up from the Stage. A pillar of vapor rises up through the Light. The image on the Tron is replaced by the word “I.N.F.E.R.N.O.”. Efinn Rox rises from the stage.

✦WHISPERI VIPERI: Hailing from this Arena...apparently, accompanied by Zack Jones...The Enigmatic Soldier, Inferno!

His eyes remain closed as a pillar of vapor rises up around his body. After several moments pass he opens his eyes and walks down the ramp with Zack Jones. He ignores the fan's reaction to him whether good or bad and slides into the ring.

The referee checks on all three competitors after warning all their partners and then calls for the bell.

MATCH TWO
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH

Angelo Sands vs Erin Mariani vs Inferno

DING! DING!! DING!!!

After the bell rings if competitor looks across from each other before looking back at their respective tag team partners. Looking to catch Inferno and Angelo off guard, Erin sprints across the ring looking to take Inferno out by clotheslining him outside of the ring but no! Inferno’s ring awareness allows him to notice the incoming attack as he pulls down the top rope causing Erin to go flying over and at ringside! The crowd pops as Inferno turns around and looks over to Angelo who didn’t seem to realize what just happened as it happened so fast. He looks outside to Erin and shrug his shoulders. The two competitors begin to circle the ring before they begin to grapple in the middle of the ring. The veteran Inferno quick slips free of Sands and hits a Snap Dragon Suplex! The fans pop and cringe at how Angelo landed on the back of his neck while Inferno stands up and stares down at Angelo. He motions for Angelo to get back up to his feet as he goes to hit the ropes but as he does, Erin trips him making him fall flat on his face! Mariani slides back into the ring and see Sands getting back up to his feet. As she does she kicks him in the midsection and tosses him through the ropes sending him outside the ring!

✦JACK WARREN: Good work on tossing out the garbage, Erin. Now go handle that burning trash!

✦BRIAN MASON: Erin getting herself back into this matchup after being taking out by Inferno due to her failed attempt to do it to him!

✦JACK WARREN: Shut up, Mase. We’re watching the match we don’t need you to tell us what just happened!

✦BRIAN MASON: I’m just simply doing my job, Jack.

✦JACK WARREN: THE MAN! How many times do I have to tell you?

Erin looks out to the fans who boo her at ringside and laughs. She looks to Sara who was also laughing it up. She then looks back to Inferno who was getting back up to her feet. Mariana sprints over to Inferno looking to hit a Running Elbow Tackle but no! Erin is met with a Shin Saikyou High Kick taking her out! The former PDW Platinum Champion looks around to the crowd cheering for him and nods to himself as he goes for the pin!

ONE




T---KICKOUT!!!


After Erin kicks out, Inferno gets back up to his feet and brings Erin up along with her. He then Irish whips her to a corner turnbuckle where she yelps in pain at the moment of impact. Inferno taunts holding up fingers with both hands to the fans getting them to cheer for him before he runs over to Erin going for…

✦BRIAN MASON: CATCH 22!!!

But no! Erin moves out of the way causing him to crash and burn into the corner! As he stumbles back holding his chest, Erin hits a Half Nelson Facebuster!

✦JACK WARREN: THERE WE GO?! Send him back to the memory card?!

✦BRIAN MASON: Mariani looking impressive here but look! Angelo is back!

The fans were booing but they quickly turned into cheers as Sands was seen climbing up to the top rope. As Erin gets back up to her feet and she turns around to see Angelo hopping off the top turnbuckle going for a Diving Crossbody….NO!!!!!! ERIN HITS LILITH’S KISS OUT OF NOWHERE?! The arena goes silent as Erin immediately goes for the pin!

ONE







TWO












TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRR---NO!!!!!


Inferno was able to recover and saves the match as he runs over dropping and elbow on the back of Erin’s head!

✦JACK WARREN: SON OF A BITCH?!

✦BRIAN MASON: Great save there by Inferno! This match could’ve been all over!!

✦JACK WARREN: SHUT UP WE KNOW!

Inferno slowly gets back up to his feet as the fans cheer for him. Erin was seeing using the ropes to get back up to her feet while rubbing the back of her head. She didn’t look happy after the victory was on her finger tips but ripped away by Inferno’s interference. Erin slowly gets back Now that the two were back up to their feet, Erin stares at him before she goes over and gets in his face about breaking up the pin. Inferno didn’t take to kindly to her getting in his face as he spits out the Blue Screen Of Death! The crowd laughs as Erin stumbles back blinded by the blue mist attack. Before she could do anything about it, Inferno drops her with Valor! He looks to go for the pin but was stopped by a Running Knee Lift from Angelo Sands he was forced to Matrix Dodge!

✦BRIAN MASON: Close but no cigar for Sands!

✦JACK WARREN: F**k them! Is Erin okay?!

✦BRIAN MASON: I’m sure sh--

✦JACK WARREN: NO! THAT CHEATING VIDEO GAME HACK COULD HAVE BLINDED HER FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE?!

✦BRIAN MASON: I highly dou--

✦JACK WARREN: SHUT UP MASE?! WHAT DO YOU KNOW? YOU’RE NOT A FREAKING DOCTOR!

As Inferno stands back up all the way now and sees Angelo standing there taken off guard. The tag champion smirks and waves a finger in front of Angelo’s face. Sands slaps the hand way and begins to hit several Knife Edge Chops. He backs Inferno up into a corner and then proceeds to hit several knee lifts to the head. Inferno drops to the ground as Sands was looking to capitalize but no! He looks over his shoulder to see Erin sprinting across the ring like a bat out of hell! Sands quickly gets out of the way allowing for Erin to hit a Running Knee Strike onto Inferno! She backs out of the corner yelling at Inferno but was then sent right down on the mat with a Full Nelson Facebuster from Sands! The crowd pops as he goes for the pin!

ONE



TWO








TTHHHHHHHHRRRRR---NO!!!!


Out of nowhere Sara Mason slides into the ring and punt kicks Sands right in the skull! Immediately seeing this Zack Jones and Markus FK go into the ring going after Sara! The referee had no choice at this point but to cal for the bell.

DING! DING! DING!!
The fans pop as they see Zack and Markus working together. Erin was then seen starting to stir as she gets back to her feet. She sees Sara being double teamed by Jones and FK. Erin quickly gets back up to her feet and runs over ripping Jones off of Sara. She slaps him square in the face before turning him around and hits a Double Knee Backbreaker! Markus notices Erin begin back up and turns to go after her. As he makes it over to Erin, Sara was quick to stop him from doing anything as she runs over and hits a Running Bulldog! Before Erin and Sara could do anything, Inferno and Angelo were back up and taking the fight to Silk & Cyanide! Before anything could get even more out of hand, security is seen flooding out from the back led by Defiance Assistant General Manager Shannon Elliott! Once the teams were broken up and restrained by security, Defiance’ Board Member Selena King walks out onto the stage.

✦SELENA KING: Alright! Alright!

There’s a mixed reaction.

✦SELENA KING: I just came out here to tell you six that I've decided on another team for the World Tag Team championship match! Silk & Cyanide, TSIC, DLC; the team that now all six of you have to worry about now is…...THE DAUGHTERS OF JANUS!

There’s a big pop from the crowd as Selena smiles and heads to head back as the scene starts to fade away.

WINNER: NO CONTEST

The video starts with footage of from defiance LXII. It shows Miggy blasting Jackson across the back with the chair, the shot so impactful that it knocked the headset off of Magnum. The scene then switches to show Jackson sitting in front of a camera.

✦JACKSON MAGNUM: Miguel, I often wonder wat et takes ta drive a person ta thee lengths ta sucker someone.

Jackson shrugs, his eyes widen thinking about what Miguel did on the last defiance.

✦JACKSON MAGNUM: I git et though, I understand tat feeling yer hafing right now Miguel. Tat nobody is paying attention ta ye and ef ye just had thee opportunity tat ye could prove yerself. And ye will do anyting ta git noticed, ta just hafe people see ye en a new light.

The video from last defiance rolls again. Jackson is draped over the top turnbuckle, then Miguel begins to swing the steel chair over and over again into the Irish Superman’s spine. The pain is visible on the face, then images of the crowd looking on in shock are shown. Then, another shot, this time the chair was broken across Jackson’s spine. The scene turns back to Jackson sitting in front of the camera.

✦JACKSON MAGNUM: Well fella, ye got yerself notice. Ye showed thee world exactly wat ye are capable ov. And while most would give ye hell fer being a coward, I will nae. I will give ye credit fer hafing thee balls ta do such a ting. Ta be so bold tat ye would take tat shot ta prove yerself. I honestly didnae tink ye had et en ye. Thought knowing my past would cause ye ta hesitate. Et didnae, and ye proved yerself nae only ta be desperate, but dangerous men en all ov HKW.

The scene switches one last time back to last Defiance where Miguel drove the broke chair into an unconscious Jackson’s back. The camera switches back to the former HKW Hybrid champion who is looking straight into the camera with a death stare.

✦JACKSON MAGNUM: Thee problem wit tat desperation is tat ye decided ta pick thee wrong target. Because thee truth is, I know where tat want ta be noticed comes from. A lack ov confidence tat ye just cannae shake. I had et myself at certain points en my career, thee feeling tat I needed ta do someting drastic because I will never be noticed any other way. Tat I hafe ta give enta my demons, but now I am simply too damn good fer tat. Maybe tat sounds a bit egotistical, but et is true. I know tat I am better tan ye Miguel, I also know ye know et as well. Why else would ye try ta end me befer ye got yer hands on me en a match? Et is insecurity, a feeling ov doubt tat ye hafe, tat ye just cannae shake. But since we both know I am better tan ye, I do nae need ta stoop ta tat level, and I will be damned ef an insecure little bitch like ye is going ta make me do so. Because we both knows how this end wit ye using every underhanded trick en thee book ta beat, and still nae being able ta git et done. Wit ye drifting off enta obscurity.

Jackson stands up and walks off camera as the camera goes black and we head back to ring side.

As the scene fades backstage Emilio Vialpando is seen walking down the hallway looking down to the ground trying to think about what all happened. As he does he pauses in the middle of the hallway noticing that everyone has disappeared. The sounds of everyone talking and stagehands moving equipment around went silent. Emilio looks around the empty hallways not knowing what was going on at this particular moment. When he tries to move his feet he...he couldn’t. Only thing he could move was his head nothing else. He was stuck. As he faced forward the lights in the hallway began to flicker until they cut completely off.

✦EMILIO VIALPANDO: What the f**k...What the f**k is g--

He stops talking as he begins to hear footsteps in the darkness. More lights flicker and go completely out. The footsteps continue to walk towards him.

✦EMILIO VIALPANDO: Hello? Wh...Who’s there?

A man’s laughter is heard within the pitch black darkness. While the man laughs voices begin to echo in the background.

It’s Time To Embrace It Emilio
Embrace it
Embrace It

Embrace The Darkness Within You

Within You
Within You


More lights flicker and go out. Footsteps grow closer as well as the man’s laughter.

Stop Ignoring It
Stop
Stop

It’s Apart Of You. All You Need To Do Is Unlock It

Unlock It
Unlock It


Emilio shakes his head trying his best not to listen.

✦EMILIO VIALPANDO: LEAVE ME ALONE?! I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT?! LEAVE ME ALONE?! GET OUT OF MY HEAD?! GET OUT OF MY F**KING HEAD?!

Emilio closes his eyes and next thing you know a stagehand was standing in front of him with everyone looking at him with concern.

✦STAGEHAND: Emilio! Emilio what’s wrong, are you okay?!

Emilio looks around and sees that everything has went back to normal. He didn’t understand what just happened. He looks over to see Lola J walk over and place her hand on his shoulder.

✦LOLA J: Em? What’s the matter hun? What’s wrong? Does this have to do with what happened earlier? If it does, you did the right thing. You saved her, Emilio. You did the right thing. What’s wrong?

✦EMILIO VIALPANDO: I..No...I...I don’t kn---

Out of nowhere Emilio is blasted from behind causing Lola to yell out in fear. Standing over Emilio now was his younger brother Felix holding his newly won EPW Canadian Championship while the other two SAP Championship belts were wrapped around his waist.

✦FELIX VIALPANDO: This isn’t freaking over, Emilio.

Emilio lays there holding the back of his head not knowing what just hit him.

✦FELIX VIALPANDO: I want my freaking rematch!

Felix begins to stomp down on Emilio before kicking him square in the ribs repeatedly.

✦FELIX VIALPANDO: GIVE ME MY FREAKING REMATCH!?!

Felix drops the title on the ground as he goes to pick Emilio up pinning him against the wall.

✦FELIX VIALPANDO: I’m better than you! I’m ten times the man you’ll ever be! You’re nothing compared to me, you hear me?! NOTHING!!

Felix then tosses him into a nearby stack of crates. As Emilio tries to get up to his feet, Felix sprints over punting him right in the ribs once more. Felix shakes his head as he looks down at his brother then picks him back up to his feet. He looks back to the Canadian Championship and pulls Emilio over near it.

✦FELIX VIALPANDO: You’re gonna know the pain you caused tu pinche puta.

The younger Vialpando sets up for the Falcon Warning DDT and successfully hits the maneuver driving Emilio’s skull into the plate of the EPW Canadian Championship! Security finally rushes over to break the assault up but they were too late. Felix reaches under the unconscious Emilio and retrieves his championship belt. He looks around to the crowd who gathered around and smirks.

✦FELIX VIALPANDO: Take notes…

He chuckles and walks away leaving for the others to check on Emilio as the scene fades away.

✦LOLA J: CAN WE GET A DOCTOR OVER HERE?! GODDAMNIT, HELP?! Em! Em wake up!

We fade into a shot of Brian Mason standing in the center of the ring, microphone in hand as he addresses the masses inside the Target Center in Minneapolis.

✦BRIAN MASON: Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, I’ll be conducting the official contract signing for the Three Stages of Hell match…

There is a pop at the mention of the match, prompting Mason to pause for just a moment.

✦BRIAN MASON: ...between HKW Bloodlust Champion Artemis Kaiser and Ashlyn De Luca. Before introducing both participants, I wanted to go over some key aspects of the contract that could possibly be overlooked once the champion and challenger get out here.

Brian Mason looks over the paper for just a moment before he goes on.

✦BRIAN MASON: At no point during the contest can a referee, doctor, or trainer step forth to call the match due to injury or concern. It is up to the competitors and solely the competitors when this match comes to a decisive end as per the stipulations of the fall. The referee’s only job will be to announce a decisive finish to each of the three falls in the Three Stages of Hell.

Brian Mason returns to the paper and continues.

✦BRIAN MASON: Furthermore, when all is said and done, Ashlyn De Luca and her camp forfeit their right to hold Hard Knox Wrestling responsible for anything that may happen to her or her ‘brand’ as a result of this contest. Both competitors are aware of the stipulations and both competitors are aware of the legal requirements to contest the championship match, SO without further ado, at this time, allow me to introduce the reigning HKW Bloodlust Champion… Artemis Kaiser!

✦JACK WARREN: Decent-ass job, Mason!

“Blackland” by Castle kicks up, along with the uncontrollable booing of the audience. Artemis Kaiser steps on stage, clad in a full suit. She glares through her shades, but responds more profoundly by raising the Bloodlust Championship high into the air. Marching down the ramp, Artemis does not interact with the crowd any further. Until a hand from them hits her on the shoulder, she stops and points at the man. They’re wearing one of Ashlyn’s shirts, which prompts a derisive chuckle out of Artemis. She signals for security to drag the man away...from his family. Artemis doesn’t seem to care much and enters the ring. Taking off her shades, Artemis ignores Brian Mason and the outstretched hand bearing a microphone and focuses on the entranceway.

✦JACK WARREN: Bahahaha! Ignored!

Brian Mason slowly retracts his hand and clears his throat, speaking into the microphone.

✦BRIAN MASON: ...and also, the challenger and former Hard Knox Wrestling Bloodlust Champion, Ashlyn De Luca!

“Fly Pirate” hits the PA system and the audience roars as Ashlyn De Luca steps out onto the stage, smirking out into the masses. Pinpointing the loudest section in the audience, Ashlyn raises her fingers, narrowing her eyes and “pulling the trigger” on a finger-gun toward that section, creating an even louder response. With a small laugh, she makes her way down the ramp, dressed to wrestle for her upcoming match, but gives a curious gaze to the HKW Bloodlust Champion who stands behind the table in the ring. Ashlyn’s smile visibly fades as she walks up the steps onto the apron.

✦JACK WARREN: Ashlyn De Luca physically cannot STOMACH the sight of Artemis Kaiser and I bet Kaiser gets a three-quarter just realizing that. Aha, I love it. If looks could kill, man!

Ashlyn steps through the ropes and stands behind the table, looking up at Artemis for a moment, smile creeping across her face as her music fades. She picks a mic up off of the table and scratches the back of her neck with a raised brow.

✦ASHLYN DE LUCA: So uh… hm…

There is a mild pop as Ashlyn speaks and she responds, shooting a wink toward the louder section of the audience again, prompting a deep eyeroll from Kaiser. Ashlyn tosses the mic to her other hand and leans forward, making a spectacle of eyeing the contract for a moment before standing upright and looking at Kaiser with a smirk.

✦ASHLYN DE LUCA: So no matter what happens… the ref can’t stop this and when it’s said and done, I can’t sue you, no matter what kind of physical or mental state I’m left in after the closing bell, right? That’s like… that’s what we’re doin’ here, right?

✦BRIAN MASON: Those are the stipulations you must agree to in order for this match to take place, ye--

✦ASHLYN DE LUCA: Word.

Ashlyn narrows her eyes at Kaiser, but reaches for the pen and signs the contract without further hesitation, earning a roar from the Target Center. She places the pen down, but Brian Mason speaks up once more.

✦BRIAN MASON: With that said, Ashlyn, what is your stipulation for the Three Stages of Hell Match?

✦ASHLYN DE LUCA: Glad you asked! I figured--

Artemis raises her hand up rudely to her nemesis, interrupting what her answer was going to be. The crowd jeers loudly while Artemis slowly retracts her hand.

✦ARTEMIS KAISER: Ashlyn, I’m going to elaborate on something for you.

She pauses for a moment, adjusting the championship more comfortably onto her shoulder.

✦ARTEMIS KAISER: You signed away any sense of mercy that I can have for you. You know, regardless of anything that I have done, I found myself holding my hand a lot. Truthfully, there was this remnant of care I had because you are a valiant competitor. You are someone who has defeated me before. You are someone that I could see being a further test of my growing abilities. That led me to hanging back from, say, smashing your head repeatedly with that chair back at Control or just breaking something in your anatomy backstage. Now, that’s gone. Since it’s gone, I’m going to warn you of what awaits you.

Artemis sighs, taking a longing look at her championship. She brings her eyes up to lock with Ashlyn’s, never wavering.

✦ARTEMIS KAISER: I’m going to end this problem of mine. I have free reign to honestly hurt you and put you out permanently. You see, I know the excruciating ways of ending careers. For instance, I can grab you by your hair, put my foot on your back, and start to pull back. I can keep pulling back until I hear something go pop, and you can’t move any more. I can take these hands of mine and beat you in the face until your eye dislodges from your skull. There’s a magnitude of different ways that I can end your career. So as my final act of mercy before you walk into Hell itself...I will allow you to scratch out your name and walk away. I said that I’m a smarter monster now, which means I shouldn’t sully my hands too much with obscene bloodshed. I don’t like having five broken careers on my resume, but if you don’t walk away right now...I’ll gladly add six, Ashlyn.

The audience has since gone silent from Artemis’s speech, letting it flavor the raw tension. Ashlyn narrows her eyes at the champion, biting the inside of her cheek a bit as opposed to speaking.

✦ARTEMIS KAISER: I hate you, Ashlyn. I hate you more than anyone in my whole life. I hate you more than the woman who stabbed me in the arm with a fragment of a table just to prove a point. I hate you more than the woman who wrapped barbed wire around my neck and tried to bleed me dry in a filthy ring. I hate you more than that stupid referee that got in my way back then. So do not think for a second that our little fun on Twitter translates to me walking into this match as Artemis Kaiser, the emerging businesswoman, the highest paid wrestler in HKW. No, I’m walking in as Artemis Kaiser, the destroyer, the God of Anger, and I’m a terminal illness waiting to end what you worked so hard for.

Artemis holds the pen in her hand.

✦ARTEMIS KAISER: Are you going to walk away? Do it for Tommy. Do it for your kid. Do it for yourself.

Ashlyn looks down toward her signature on the paper, then back up toward the Bloodlust Championship, and finally to Artemis.

✦ASHLYN DE LUCA: I get it.

Ashlyn nods a bit, taking a deep breath and raises the mic again.

✦ASHLYN DE LUCA: I have been down this road sooo many times before. I’ve had Aurora Jansen threaten to end my career and then try to basically murder me on live television a few years back and somehow I rolled out of that ring one championship reign later and lived to tell about it… technicalities and all. I mean-- I had Faith threaten to set me on fire, and then ACTIVELY ATTEMPT to do it as per the rules of some match she dreamed up, but at the end, she was the one burning in the arena while I walked away with my hand raised. And I know they’re not you. You’re not them. But…

Ashlyn looks down toward her signature again, exhaling.

✦ASHLYN DE LUCA: I’ve had people threaten to take all this away from me before, man, but if you’re gonna do it, do it. I’m still comin’ after that title. I’m still comin’ after that ass.

The former champion smiles faintly.

✦ASHLYN DE LUCA: But “walk away” man? Nahh. Keep me down, bitch.

The audience roars behind De Luca and she pushes the contract closer to Kaiser. Artemis nods her head, and lets go a long sigh.

✦ARTEMIS KAISER: Fine then.

With simple words, she signs the contract.

✦ARTEMIS KAISER: Then I will not feel bad about anything that happens. I will inform you formally of what my stipulation will be. I wish you luck in your match against Veronica. I hope you enjoy it.

Artemis starts to leave, keeping a professional air about herself. She does stop, and takes off the Bloodlust Championship. She raises it high once more, mostly to mock Ashlyn. She carries it over her back as she marches back up the ramp. Ashlyn stands in the center of the ring, a glare fixed on the top of the ramp, hands clenched into fists as “Blackland” hits the PA once again. A ring crew removes the table and the contract from the ring without further incident as Kaiser departs to the back, only pausing for just a moment at the top of the ramp without ever turning around.

✦BRIAN MASON: So there we have it, people! This match IS official and before Titletown, we will know each and every stipulation in the Three Stages of Hell.

Mason exits the ring and Jack Warren takes over from the commentary desk as we pan over to him.

✦JACK WARREN: But keep that ass sat! Mason’s on his way back to the table and we’re about to be right back with De Luca vs Taylor! Don’t move!

We fade away as Ashlyn paces ringside.

✦WHISPER VIPERI: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first

Already in the ring, Ashlynn De Luca paces around the ring after her most recent encounter with what has become one of her biggest rivals.

✦WHISPER VIPERI: On her way to the ring, hailing from ASH-Lanta, weighing in at one hundred and thirty-eight pounds, ASHLYN DE LUUUUCA!

✦WHISPER VIPERI: And her opponent..

Hopped up out the bed, turned my swag on
Took a look in the mirror, said what's up whats up '? Yeah
I'm gettin' money yeah

Hopped up out the bed, turned my swag on
Took a look in the mirror, said what's up? Yeah
I'm gettin' money oh


Turn my Swag on by Keri Hilison hits over the pa system as the lights begin to flash all over the arena, as the fans give a loud ovation of booing. As, a makeshift runway appears, and soon a red carpet is rolled on top of it. As, out from the back steps Veronica Taylor with outstretched arms as the fans boo her, before grabbing her mirror and blowing herself a kiss. After, a few moments she begins to do a model like strut on the red carpet runway as a few photographers appear to take her photos, as she poses arrogantly. She, then takes a look around her grabbing her perfume from Veronica's Secret and sprays it around to get rid of the "stench" in the arena.

✦WHISPER VIPERI: From West Plam Beach, Flordia standing at five feet eight inches The First Class Model, and the First Lady of Subversion Veronica Taylor.

They told me round my hood
What they say?
Every time they see me I look good, yeah
Why? I'm gettin' money yeah

Veronica then stands at the end of the entrance ramp, doing some more poses. Before, raising her arms in the air as the fans fill the air with more boos. Before, she mouths to the camera "So damn first class baby", before blowing a kiss to the camera. As, she then moves to the ring apron, yelling at the referee to lower the ropes for her, which he does as Veronica enters under the bottom rope. As, she then stands in the center of the ring raising her arms in the air, before lowering them slowly. Then, she grabs out her perfume and sprays it all around killing the stench in the ring. As, Veronica then takes off her diamond necklace and hangs it on the corner, as she grabs her compact mirror and makes sure her makeup is done flawlessly. As she fluffs her hair, and blows herself a kiss.

✦JACK WARREN: I’m really excited for this matchup partner.

✦BRIAN MASON: Me too Jack.

✦JACK WARREN: I think Ashlyn has this though. She’s very good in the ring.

✦BRIAN MASON: Yeah, but Veronica is no slouch and will have her hands all over ther match.

SINGLES MATCH
Ashlyn de Luca vs. Veronica Taylor


DING! DING! DING!

The bell sounds and the match begins with both woman circling the ring. They lock up in the center before Veronica pushes ADL off of her. ADL stumbles backwards and Veronica looks for a leaping elbow shot to ADL’s face which ADL ducks. When Veronica lands back to her feet ADL wraps up around her and brings Veronica to the mat with a Suplex. ADL tries working Veronica into a submission but Veronica fights her way out of it and gets back to her feet.

Back on their feet Veronica and ADL wrap up with one another again, this time ADL takes Veronica down with a Hip Toss before placing Veronica in a Side Headlock.

✦BRIAN MASON: ADL’s been trying to work those submissions and wear down Veronica fast.

✦JACK WARREN: It looks like she can't get that arm around the neck though. Veronica’s really working her way back to her feet.

With all the fighting Veronica’s been doing ADL lets up on the side headlock and brings Veronica back to her feet. While doing so Veronica kicks ADL in the gut causing her to bend over. Veronica leaps up and hits ADL in the face with a knee causing ADL to fall backwards. Veronica hops down for the quick pin.

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT!


Veronica rises to her feet smiling as she awaits for ADL to get back to her feet. As he does Veronica charges and looks for a Clothesline to send ADL over the ropes but ADL ducks and sends Veronica over them instead. Veronica holds on and knees ADL in the gut through the ropes. Hopping over the ropes to get back into the ring Veronica takes a swing at ADL but ADL ducks and plants an Uppercut on Veronica’s chin that sends Veronica falling back into the turnbuckle. ADL grabs Veronica by the arm and takes her down to the mat with a Fujiwara Armbar before placing Veronica into Butterfly Lock

✦JACK WARREN: She’s got that locked in pretty tight.

✦BRIAN MASON: OH, Veronica got her leg on the ropes.

ADL lets go of the lock and brings Veronica back to her feet to a cheering crowd. ADL slaps Veronica across the chest repeatedly until Veronica blocks the third attempt. Veronica elbows ADL in the face before dropping ADL to the mat with a Wheelbarrow Kick. Veronica goes for the pin but ADL immediately kicks out.

Veronica laughs to herself before he grabs ADL by the leg and drags her to the center of the ring. Veronica climbs up a turnbuckle and leaps off with a Leaping Leg Block but ADL rolls out of the way. Veronica lands hard to the mat and aids to her thigh which she came down a little hard on.

✦JACK WARREN: I don’t know but Veronica looks like that left thigh is giving her problems right now

✦BRIAN MASON: If you’re Ashlyn this makes Veronica easy pickings.

ADL brings Veronica back to her feet and whips her into the ropes. Veronica bounces off and is hit with the Syxx Kick(Running Double Spinning Wheel Kick). Veronica falls to the mat to cheers from the crowd. ADL drops down to her knees and goes for the pin.

ONE!

TWO!

TH-KICKOUT!


ADL gets back to her feet and begins hyping the crowd. She sets up in a turnbuckle and waits for Veronica to rise to her feet. As she does ADL charges and looks for a Corner Spear but Veronica rolls out of the way and ADL goes head first into the Turnbuckle as the crowd winces.

✦JACK WARREN: Her shit could be busted open.

✦BRIAN MASON: Looks like ADL’s alright though. For a minute her eyes rolled to the back of her head.

Veronica takes a minute to catch her breath. She still aids to that thigh and winces every time she touches the spot that’s giving her trouble. She steps over to ADL and grabs her by the hair. She pulls ADL back to her feet where she lets go an onslaught of kicks to ADL’s leg. ADL reaches down and blocks one of the kicks to her calf and flips Veronica backwards. Veronica falls on that thigh and rolls out of the ring. The ref begins the count out.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

FIVE!

SIX!

Veronica slides back in the ring and is met by ADL who begins stomping Veronica before bringing Veronica back to her feet. She wraps around Veronica and Veronica uses her arm to elbow ADL off of her. ADL stumbles backwards and Veronica looks for a Spinning Fist but ADL blocks it and lands a stiff punch of her own. ADL grabs Veronica by the legs and flips her to the mat. ADL looks for an Ankle Lock but Veronica kicks her off. As Veronica tries getting back to her feet ADL locks up around Veronica’s head trying to put her in a choke The crowd begins to cheer as Veronica searches for a way out.

✦JACK WARREN: TRIANGLE CHOKE!!! NOT THAT TIGHT YET THOUGH!

✦BRIAN MASON: Veronica’s trying to get her leg on the rope.

✦JACK WARREN: Shee can't get there. ADL is putting a lot of strength into that choke.

Veronica keeps trying to stretch out to the ropes and gets there causing ADL to let the choke go. ADL waste no time staying on the attack as Veronica was catching her breath. ADL grabbed her by the arm and pulls her back to her feet she whips Veronica into the ropes and Veronica bounces off into The Fly-Leaf from ADL who makes the cover.

ONE!


TWO!


THREE!



DING! DING!! DING!!!

✦JACK WARREN: I knew it was over after that.

✦BRIAN MASON: This is a nice win for Ashlyn.

✦JACK WARREN: Veronica fought hard but I think that thigh is giving her problems. Could be a hamstring. Either way Ashlyn is the winner tonight.

✦WHISPER VIPERI: Here’s your winner...Ashlyn De Luca!!

✦JACK WARREN: Doesn’t look like Ash missed a beat in that match. I still don’t know if she’s fully prepped for Artemis, but uh… got damn, Veronica.

✦BRIAN MASON: Ashlyn De Luca’s out here making sure that she sends a loud, clear message to the HKW Bloodlust Champ.

The audience pops as Ashlyn allows her hand to be raised, wiping sweat off of her face with the back of her hand. Ashlyn points a finger-gun at the nearest camera, softly mouthing “bang” as she steps toward the ropes nearest the ramp, but suddenly the audience grows louder behind her.

✦BRIAN MASON: Oh, Jack, wha--

Brian Mason is shoved aside as Artemis Kaiser presumably comes out of the crowd, shoving past the announcer, stepping over Veronica, and sliding seamlessly into the ring behind Ashlyn. With one leg through the ropes, Ashlyn turns-- only to be blasted with a Rolling Elbow from Kaiser!

✦JACK WARREN: First Crusade!

The shot sends a smack echoing throughout the arena and Ashlyn staggers back into the ring, but Artemis allows the belt to fall to the canvas as she grabs Ashlyn’s arm and wrestles her to the ground in the AK-93! Ashlyn tries to fight it, but Artemis uses her own arm to lock her in the Straightjacket! Ashlyn’s face turns red but she still struggles, trying to get out of the hold!

✦JACK WARREN: I take it back! She ain’t ready! She is NOT READY for Artemis!

Artemis Kaiser closes her eyes as she leans back, applying pressure to the AK-93. Blood streams from Ashlyn’s nose courtesy of the First Crusade. She tries to wrench an arm free, but Kaiser has the submission locked in far too tight! With no free arms, Ashlyn is helpless to crawl or even tap. Her peripheral glare slowly fades, replaced by a glassy gaze. Boos rain down on the Bloodlust Champion, who refuses to release the hold even as De Luca’s movements slow.

✦BRIAN MASON: I think enough is enough though, I mean--

✦JACK WARREN: No one wants to hear that! Ash didn’t wanna learn so Artemis is out here lettin’ her know. The Man would do the same thing though!

Chants of ”YOU SUCK!” mixed with a more subtle ”F%#K YOU KAISER!” emanate from the crowd. The official has reentered the ring and does everything he can to physically remove Kaiser from De Luca before finally succeeding. Kaiser staggers to her feet, managing to snatch her championship off of the mat as she does so. She glances out into the audience for just a moment before holding her hand out to someone off-camera, demanding a microphone. She receives it within seconds and walks up, standing beside Ashlyn De Luca, who lies on her side, breathing heavily, bottom of her face smeared with blood from the elbow. Ashlyn’s eyes flutter as she tries to open them and focus on Artemis, weakly reaching for her-- but Kaiser kicks her hand away to a groan from the crowd.

✦ARTEMIS KAISER: This…

Artemis kneels down beside Ashlyn, pushing hair out of Ashlyn’s face, angling her head a bit as she looks down at her.

✦ARTEMIS KAISER: This is me formally informing you of my stipulation, the first stage.

Ashlyn raises her fingers, looking at a speck of Ashlyn’s blood that sits on the tip.

✦ARTEMIS KAISER: The first fall… is a Bloodlust Submission match.

There is a loud mixed reaction from those in the crowd that take the news differently. Artemis pushes herself to her feet and shrugs.

✦ARTEMIS KAISER: Should’ve gotten out when you had the chance.

She drops the microphone and raises the HKW Bloodlust Championship above her head to a chorus of boos. “Blacklands” hits the PA and Artemis lowers the belt onto her shoulder, rolling her eyes away from the fallen De Luca. Artemis exits the ring, making her way up the ramp without so much as a second look back toward Ashlyn, even as a doctor and second official make their way past the champ, darting for the ring.

✦BRIAN MASON: A Bloodlust Submission match? If that’s the first fall, then--

✦JACK WARREN: Haha, then forget Three Stages of Hell, Mase. Ashlyn’s gonna be lucky to make it to the second.

We fade to black as Ashlyn stirs, trying to push herself up to an elbow, eyes glassy as she glares in the direction Kaiser left.

WINNER: Ashlyn de Luca via pinfall (09:14)

The scene cuts backstage, just in time to see a metal folding chair getting launched at a nearby wall by a very irate Jinzai, then falling to the ground with a loud clang.

✦JINZAI: Son of a BITCH!

Both Jinzai and Jaxon Queen were absolutely livid following the turn of events following their attack on the World Heavyweight Champion, Felicity Banks. Jaxon cracks his neck and tries to calm down as he holds his title tight.

✦JAXON QUEEN: He was supposed to be on our side! OUR SIDE!!!

Queen kicks an equipment crate, sending it crashing hard into the wall.

✦JAXON QUEEN: Emilio was supposed to be our family! OUR F**KING FAMILY!!! What the hell does he think he’s doing, huh?!

Jinzai pulls at his hair, still unable to process what just happened and how over the span of just a few weeks time, their family has been torn apart.

✦JINZAI: We just… how the f*ck did we get here…? We were trying to help Sasori-Chaan. She’s got an ego and we could’ve done better but we were just looking out for her. And now we lose both her AND Hebi?!? WHY!?!?

Out from the shadows Tony Capone appears taking a pull from his cigar as Max and Jorgo appear from the other direction. He shake his head as he exhaled the cigar smoke and looks at his two prized clients.

✦TONY CAPONE: It's obvious that our home is divided, gentlemen. Emilio has shown his true colors within his scales and Felicity….it seems as if she is far gone from our primary objective. Emilio chose her side.

Capone looks at the two men and studying them for a moment.

✦TONY CAPONE:There's a way to remedy this situation. Romeo may have thought he placed us on brink with this sudden edge making the War Games match. Each of you have your nemesis there waiting for you...but...what about Emilio?

Max and Jorgo nod as they listen to their boss.

✦TONY CAPONE: Who is his enemy? Well, if you didn't hear...His brother brutally attacked him tonight. Benny told me he's still held up in the trainer's room being looked at as we speak. I say...I say we bring Emilio’s brother into this to even the odds.

Jinzai and Jaxon look at one another before Queen slowly turns back to Capone...and grins.

✦JAXON QUEEN: Oh, Tony. What the hell would we do without that brain of yours, huh?

He walks over to Tony and puts an arm around him as he shifts the title around his shoulder.

✦JAXON QUEEN: Can you imagine how Emilio is going to feel when he finds out his brother is going to be on the other side for this match? I’d say he feels just like we feel right now...betrayed. Ain’t that right, Jinzai?

Jinzai still looked incensed over the betrayal, pacing back and forth.

✦JINZAI: Yeah… yeah, why not hit Em where it hurts. Felix wants to put his head on a silver platter, why not give him the chance to do it inside that f*cking Wargames Cage.

Jin looks back up at Tony and Jaxon with fire in his eyes.

✦JINZAI:Both Em and Fel think they can just walk away from this? They wanna turn their backs on EVERYTHING we built together? Then they got ANOTHER MOTHERF*CKING THING COMING!

He slams a fist into a nearby door as he yells out the last bit. Capone nods as he watches.

✦TONY CAPONE: Go find him, fellas.

Jaxon nods and pats Jinzai on the back as they begin to walk down the hall in search of Felix Vialpando.

✦TONY CAPONE: Go with them, make sure nothing goes sideways.

✦JORGO: Right boss.

The scene begins to fade as Jorgo goes to catch up with Jaxon and Jinzai.

Backstage we see Tyberius King lacing up his wrestling shoes getting ready for his tag team match, when his tag team partner Jackson Magnum walks into the room in an Irish Superman t-shirt, and matching pants.

✦JACKSON MAGNUM: I swear these young whippersnappers are just trying ta git rid ov us cuz tey could never make et back en our day. I mean wit Miguel trying ta injure me, Julian trying ta retire ye, just who do tey tink they are? I mean thee way Julian cost ye tat match against June, and wat thee flying heck is tat umbrella ting? These kids I tell ye.

Jackson nods at Ty, with half a smile on his face. Before getting serious for a moment.

✦JACKSON MAGNUM: Just came back ta make sure we were on thee same page fella, also ta tell ye et will be an honor ta tag wit ye.

Jackson extends his hand to Tyberius hoping for a peaceful cohesive partnership. Ty reaches out and shakes Jackson’s hand with a smile on his face.

✦TYBERIUS KING: Miguel can be hot headed and tends to not listen well at times. Trust me, I trained him in RISE and at one point he was my protege. He didn't even listen to me much. As for Julian I'm not sure what it is. Like I've said before I'm assuming he things I'm a name that he can easily push over while I'm still getting back into the grove. As for the umbrella? No idea mate, likely just a gimmick. We're on more than the same page. I've been waiting to get my hands on Julian in a match and I've been wanting to knock some sense into Miguel for a while now. The honor is shared my friend. Not enough people give you credit for that World Cup win. You didn't have an easy ride in that tournament. So let's make sure we wreck these fools.

Jackson lets out a slight laugh, then shrugs his shoulders.

✦JACKSON MAGNUM: Well, I hafe always viewed myself as thee little kid brother en this business, and some people do nae want ta give ye credit wen yer tat. Tat said, appreciate et and whether et’s Julian and Miguel er anyone else ef ye ever need anyting just shout. I got ye, very rare tat I git ta learn from someone wit yer experience. But right now thee focus is on beating thee ever loving feck out ov those two. Ef ye git a chance, leave me a bit ov Miguel ta finish off later. I am nowhere near done wit him. See ye out there bruv.

Jackson backs away making his way towards thee door.

✦TYBERIUS KING: You got it man, and thank you. I really appreciate that.

The show cuts backstage, to where Eli Zayn is standing with a microphone in his hand. Next to him, however, is the former HKW No Limits champion, Annie Zellor. And while she’s dressed ready to compete later tonight, she’s not wearing her usual ring attire; her plaid shirt has been replaced by a SBWC t-shirt with the sleeves cut off, her wrists and hands are taped up, and her shorts have been replaced by a pair of full length jeans. Zellor looks focused, pounding her fists against her palms as the interview begins.

✦ELI ZAYN: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with Annie Zellor. Annie, tonight you’ll be going up against your former tag team partner, Onyx Payne in a grudge match. How are you feeling about this?

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: I’m good, Eli…

Pause.

✦ELI ZAYN: Right, well, we last saw you defeat the ITV Champion, Lyza Reyes, in singles action. Do you think you can repeat that against Onyx tonight?

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: I need to…

The statement is emphasised by Annie loudly pounding her fist against her palm as she looks up towards Eli.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: …here’s the thing, Eli. Two weeks when I stepped into that ring, I was ready to compete. I was to go out there and give Lyza the challenge she needed, and show that I could hang with a HKW champion. But tonight?

Annie exhales deeply, pausing to brush some hair back behind her ears.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: I’ve been getting ready for this moment since Onyx turned on me back at Control. Like, just psyching myself up for the chance to finally get my hands on her, and just … just pop her … POW! Right in the kisser.

✦ELI ZAYN: Sounds like Onyx has managed to get under your skin.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: That’s a real understatement, Eli. ‘Cause when I was getting ready for this moment, all that time I was thinking of finally getting to kick her butt – I never thought she’d go so far as to accuse me of, like, piggybacking on her face. I didn’t think she’d be so petty to let one mistake to cause her to turn on me! I didn’t think she’d let her ego get the better of her!

Annie pauses, brushing more hair from in front of her face as she looks straight into the camera.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: But here we are. Onyx Payne wants to talk about how I let her down. But not how she accepted my apology for that. She wants to talk about how I needed her. But we both know it’s the other way around, Onyx. ‘Cause this is where your ego is getting the better of you: you’ve think that just ‘cause you’re a former HKW World Champion, and the longest reigning HKW World Champion … you think that you’re still on that level. You think you can step into that ring and be how you were in 2015. And that’s just not true...

She shakes her head.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: But you can take your cheap victory over Jason Mentez, Onyx. Take your eight second win over Amber Ryan. And just, like, forget about who was by your side, helping you get back into the swing of things. Ignore who was helping you shake off that ring rust. ‘Cause God knows it wasn’t me, was it? God knows I haven’t done anything for you, Onyx … Nah, just accuse me of needing you. Accuse me of piggybacking. But tonight? I’m gonna show you that you’re not at the level you once were. And how your ego let you down. I’m looking for a challenge tonight, ‘cause I haven’t had a real challenge in two weeks, and when I beat a former HKW World Champion, then maybe you’ll think twice about how things aren’t the same as they were two years ago. Think about what you’ve done since you came back. And then maybe Onyx can take a good, hard look at the mistakes she’s made in the past few weeks…

Annie reaches over her shoulder, as if she’s pulling something out of her back.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: …and you can have your knife back, Onyx, ‘cause I don’t need it anymore.

She ‘drops’ the 'knife' before walking away, leaving Eli alone as the interview comes to an end.

✦WHISPER VIPERI: This tag team match is scheduled for one fall!!

A single dark purple light begins to swirl through the arena as the words “over and over” are repeated for the intro.

As the main riff kicks in the stage glows in a dark purple and a heavy fog begins to fill the stage. Slowly Tyberius King makes his way through the fog wearing a sleeveless long black jacket covered in black feathers.

Sometimes I feel like I'm dying at dawn
and sometimes I'm warm as fire
But lately I feel like I'm just gonna rain
and it goes over, and over, and over again, yeah


King makes his way down the ramp avoiding eye contact with the fans as his head faces the ground.

✦WHISPER VIPERI: Introducing First - From Baykalsk, Irkutsk Oblast, Russia, he is “The High Exalted”, “El Corneja”, Tyberius King!

Too many flames, with too much to burn
and life's only made of paper
Oh, how I need to be free of this pain
but it goes over, and over, and over, and over again


He walks around the ring before climbing up onto the apron. King then scales to the top rope and looks out at the crowd. He jumps into the ring and then sits on the bottom turnbuckle waiting for the match to start.

✦WHISPER VIPERI: And his partner…

The arena turns green as a deep grey smoke filters through the entrance way. A bright yellow light flashes on the stage with a green superman signal in it only with a J instead of an S. As Jax walks out into the misty smoke he’s wearing a custom made suit with spectacles. Giving a smirk he looks out into the crowd. He then walks hops off the stage where a phone booth is waiting.

“In a land where people have lost their way, there is one man who has found that through his own methods, this world can be better. His power, his ability, his mere prowess evokes fear into the hearts of them who would oppose him. His talent unbelievable, his accolades undeniable, he is Defiance’s Super. ”

Jax steps into the phone booth as a green curtain falls over it. Almost instantly a bright light flashes as the phone booth door explodes open. The sound of Sinead O’Connor and the Chieftains “Foggy Dew” begins to play from the PA system as Jax steps backwards out of the booth. The first thing to come into view is his black cape with a green J within the superman symbol. Turning around Jax shows off his new green and black ring gear, with matching green shades.

✦WHISPER VIPERI: Weighing in at 205 pounds, from Dublin Ireland, he is the Irish Superman, Jackson Magnum!

He jumps back onto the aisle way, turning his head he blows blows smoke that filters into the air. Letting out a primal scream before walking down the rampway and towards the ring. As he reaches the ring he leaps onto the apron in one motion. He then paces on the apron for a moment before whipping his feet off, and stepping into the ring. He spins in a circle as he reaches the center of the ring. Pulling his glasses off he hands them to the referee, then slowly unsnaps his cape. Folding it into a perfect formation leaving the J symbol exposed he instructs the referee to be careful with his stuff.

Then he backs away into the corner waiting for the match to begin.

✦JACK WARREN: Team JewIrish ready to lose.

✦BRIAN MASON: Must you go there Jack?

✦JACK WARREN: Why can’t I? They are what they are aint they!!??

The cameras catch a little bit of conversation going on between Ty and Jackson in ring as they get ready.

✦WHISPER VIPERI: And their opponents.

"Black Honey" begins to blare over the PA system when Julian Savell appears at the top of the entrance way. The fans begin to shower him with boos. Julian pops the collar of the fur coat that he's wearing as a sly smirk runs over his face. Julian is also carrying his patented umbrella and is wearing sunglasses to go along with his wrestling trunks. Julian walks down the ramp while repeatedly raising his hands in the air, telling the fans to get louder with their boos so they oblige.

✦WHISPER VIPERI: Coming to the ring... Residing in Las Vegas, Nevada and weighing in at 218 pounds... He is "Your Own Personal Savior"... JULIAN SAVELL!!!

Julian then walks up the steps and dusts his feet off on the top step before stepping through the middle rope. He climbs up to one of the top turnbuckles and then raises his hands in the air horizontally with the umbrella still in his right hand. Julian then jumps down from the turnbuckle, takes off his fur coat and sunglasses and hands them to one of the staffers outside of the ring. Julian then awaits for the match to begin.

✦WHISPER VIPERI: And his partner…

“Black Heart Rebellion” by Insomnium plays throughout the arena which is in darkness apart from red and white strobe lighting. Once the lyrics kick in, a black heart appears on the screen, beating along to the music. “Blackheart” Miggy G is soon lit up by a spotlight put on him as he stands with his back to the crowd and his arms out wide. Miggy G is met with a chorus of boos, the crowd showing their pure hate for him. The lights go on, the red and white strobe lighting stop. The black heart still beats up on the screen as Miggy G turns around with a sickening smirk upon his face.

✦WHISPER VIPERI: On his way to the ring, standing at 6ft2in and weighing in at 205lbs, “Blackheart” Miggy G!!!

Making his way down to the ring, he slaps the hands away from him that try to grab him and even spits on the floor in front of the fans. Once at the ring, Blackheart rolls into the ring and throws his vest onto the floor of the outside. He leans back against the turnbuckle prepared and ready for the chaos ahead of him.

✦BRIAN MASON: Will be an interesting way to go about this between these four men. The animosity between Tyberius King and Julian Savell.

✦JACK WARREN: And Jackson Magnum can’t be happy after Miggy went ballistic on him with a chair.

✦BRIAN MASON: Can only expect things to escalate here for sure.

✦JACK WARREN: Escalate meaning Savell and Migs passing out more punishment.

✦BRIAN MASON: Migs?

The referee does his last bit of checking down on the four men as they square up looking at each other from across the ring. Jackson looking to Ty and nodding takes a step forward which of course brings a cocky smirk to Miguel’s face as he looks to Jackson already taunting in his direction.

MATCH FOUR
TAG TEAM MATCH

Julian Savell and Miguel Giovanni vs. Tyberious King and Jackson Magnum


Jackson comes walking right into Miguel Giovanni’s while Miguel stands tall smiling in Jackson Magnum’s face. Magnum only lasts for a little while before throwing a couple right hands to the crowd’s pleasure pushing Miggy back slightly surprised at the fire Magnum is coming at him with. He doesn’t allow Magnum to get too far into though taking his hand and mushing Magnum’s face back with a finger actually hitting Magnum’s eye. The crowd boos at the ‘inadvertent’ eye poke and Miguel follows up on the opening pulling Magnum in and lifting up stalling in the air until dropping him with a vertical suplex. The crowd boos out even louder at Miggy seeing him taking advantage of what he says to the ref was an accident. Pulling Magnum a little more into the middle of the ring he locks in an armbar along Magnum’s right arm Making him feel it he pulls back as the ref comes closer to Magnum asking if he quits. Magnum shakes his head no adamantly as Miguel hears a different tone from the crowd. Giovanni hears steps behind him and lets go of the submission turning right into a low kick from Tyberius King wanting to stop the punishment as soon as he can. The crowd cheers the interference but soon is boo’ing once again due to Julian Savell’s crescent kick to Tyberius causing him to fall back and Savell simply points in Ty’s direction in a ‘Don’t do that again’ manner as he heads back to his corner.

✦JACK WARREN: Tell him! Tell him Savell! Keep his ass to the outside.

✦BRIAN MASON: What kind of partner allows his partner to get beat up?

✦JACK WARREN: You listen here Mason. THE MAN says any person that is Jackson Magnum’s partner should allow Jackson getting beat up. New ‘The Man’ Rule.

Meanwhile, Miggy still has most of the control with Jackson coming to his feet first and giving Jackson his chance to get up on wobbly legs. Miggy runs into the ropes coming back with freight train speed behind him...SUPERKICK by Jackson Magnum completely stops and folds the RISE graduate to the mat. Minneapolis hype up with the desperation move as Magnum falls back toward his corner crawling forward looking to get Tyberius King into the match. Blackheart in the meantime notices where Jackson is heading and rises up the kick taking his toll on him but he still attempts to go after Thee Prince. Magnum is able to push forward though even as Miggy has a hold of his leg to stretch out his hand...TAG!! In comes Tyberius King! The crowd roaring behind him.

✦BRIAN MASON: Lets see what a fresher Tyberius King can do.

✦JACK WARREN: Catch a beatdown as well?

Tyberius comes from the corner like a bat outta hell heading straight for the larger Miguel Giovanni. King quickly puts his advantage of speed to use ducking under Miggy’s clothesline while running, hitting the ropes and coming back dropping Miggy with a bulldog to the mat. Tyberius gets right back to his feet just as fast brings a knee down on Miguel’s back and then follows up with an STF on Miggy G who begins to try to slide and squirm his way out with the crowd getting hype behind it. Savell doesn’t come into the ring he simply yells out at Miggy to “Get your worthless self out of it” pointing toward the nearest ropes that Miguel could reach if he used his legs. Miguel looks and sees his closeness but in the current submission he’s in would be very hard for him to be able to scoot back to reach it. The ref gets Miggy’s attention asking him does he quit, Miguel shakes his head no and in the midst of that attempts to work his way toward the ropes to touch it with his one free foot. King continues to put more to behind the submission torquing back making Miguel cry out in pain and work even harder toward reaching the ropes.

✦JACK WARREN: A little bit more Migs...hurry up you assrat!!

✦BRIAN MASON: How you support and demote our roster at the same time I’ll never understand.

✦JACK WARREN: It’s THE MAN’S way don’t you worr---He’s got it!!

The crowd gives a heavy amount of boos toward Miggy’s loose foot hooking around the bottom rope. Savell rolls his eyes saying ‘About Time’ while Ty lets go of the submission not even allowing the ref to start his five count for holding too long. Ty watches as Miggy tries to use as much of this time to recuperate as possible. He quickly pulls at Miggy wanting him to his feet as Tyberius grips Miguel in a half nelson and pulls back trying to lift the larger Miguel up in a half nelson suplex. Miggy stands his ground shaking his head at the smaller opponent’s attempt before he brings his arm underneath Ty and hip toss him to the mat. Right after that the camera’s pick up Savell yelling to get Miguel’s attention. Savell simply extending his hand out making it clear that he wants in without even saying any words. Miguel looks over at Ty who’s coming to his feet and then back at his tag partner for the night in Savell.

✦BRIAN MASON: I wouldn’t tag him especially after Savell left him out to dry like that.

✦JACK WARREN: He was teaching the kid how to make it on his own in there. Something obviously those RISE trainers skipped in teaching him apparently.

The decision is finally made as Miguel grumbles and walks over to Savell tagging him in and Ty coming to a full stand as the crowd cheers excited about the soon to be battle between them in the ring. Savell comes in with a cocky look on his face telling Ty to come on and bring it. Ty obliges the bait locking in with Savell but with Savell being the larger guy throws Tyberius back making him roll to his feet. Savell laughs out loud at Ty’s attempt getting all of the Target Center up in arms. Ty sizes Savell up again but this time doesn’t lock up with him but starts firing a few good low kicks to the inner and outside legs making sure the crowd feels the pain behind each one. The slower Savell tries to dodge a few and back up from some of them but most of the kicks are able to land and land VERY well along his legs. The smacks cause the crowd to ‘wooo’ every so often as a light “WAD-JET-HOTEP” chant follows with Tyberius superior striking. Savell takes another swing trying his best to get a hold or slow down the speedier Tyberius which he ducks under and once again looking for another kick this one higher up where Savell ducks under... Gamengiri. Savell crumbles with the perfectly placed follow up kick and Ty jumps at the opportunity.

ONE…





TWO….





THHH---KICKOUT


✦JACK WARREN: It’s going to take more than that to bring the umbrella man.

✦BRIAN MASON: Jack...that’s a name already used in...that’s not even his...JFK….nevermind.

Savell is still trying to come to as El Corneja is feeling the crowd and the moment stepping forward and trying to set Savell up....Savell pushes him off getting the space he needs...Miggy G blind tags Savell while Savell rushes off back toward Ty...Eye of Horus!! Ty flatlines Julian Savell with his busaiku knee kick. The crowd cheers the move but tries to warn King before he turns around.

✦JACK WARREN: Miggy just waiting for him. Kill em Migs!!

Miguel times his running start….Cardiac Arrest! Lays Ty out! Running on all cylinders Miggy knows he has to put Jackson Magnum down and rushes into him giving Magnum a mean elbow knocking him hard to the floor below. Miggy runs back over to Ty looking to pin him..

✦BRIAN MASON: These RISE kids continue to impress…

Miggy grabs a hold of Ty’s bottoms just for good measure.

✦BRIAN MASON: WHY IS HE DOING TH….soon as I give him credit he ruins it!! Open your eyes ref!

✦JACK WARREN: I APPROVE! Win at all costs Migs! He’s in perfect position where the ref can't see!

ONE….





TWO…..







THREE….


DING! DING!! DING!!!

✦JACK WARREN: WHAT I TELL YOU MASE!! JEWIRISH SUCKS!!

✦BRIAN MASON: Miguel pulled the tights. This is terrible.

“Black Heart Rebellion” plays loud over the speakers throughout the Target Center. Miggy G quickly gets to his feet throwing his arms in the air yelling at the booing fans for his team's victory. Savell already has started coming to smiling at the fact their team got the win also joining in with the taunting of the fans while unceremoniously kicking Tyberius King out of the ring. The crowds boos continue as Miggy and Savell enjoy their time.

WINNERS: Julian Savell and Miguel Giovanni via Pinfall(09:10)

As the footage cuts to the backstage area, we find Jackie Fowler sat solemnly on a table, wearing a Felicity Banks t-shirt and toking on a powder blue e-cig. He blows out rich plumes of vapour before he stares out into the camera lens, singing a song to himself.

✦JACKIE FOWLER: If you’re havin’ family problems, I feel bad for you son. Brett Sands has got 99 babies, but the bitches are gone. Hit me!

Fowler gives a little wink, hoping down to the floor with a thud from his work boots.

✦JACKIE FOWLER: Now, seein’ as the cameras are all on me right now, I may as well take advantage of the situation and give a little explanation, especially given the fifty shades of shite an’ onions that occurred during that opening bout. Now, as I finally managed to get meself around the backstage area, I’ve been asked why I didn’t trot on down there and help me old buddy Fingerbang Fel. Well, if you look at the door over there, the big frickin marks in it and all that jazz, plus the conveniently placed forklift that is out there, you’ll know exactly why I didn’t make it down there in time.

The camera pans to the left, revealing he is in a locker room, and through the door, damaged with force is a forklift truck that seemingly locked the Bastard of Bowland in the room when he was needed by his friend.

✦JACKIE FOWLER: Naw, rollin’ out from there, that handsome bellend Romeo Price had a bit of a tasty announcement. War Games. The match beyond thunderdong, the most deadly of all team battles were careers are made and careers are ended, I’ve seen me fair share of those, both here in Hard Knox and elsewhere too. The HKW stuff is down in folklore, bloody, barbaric, bloody barbaric bollocks. I remember elsewhere when Zero McHannon speared Andreas Lasiewicz through the cell of War Games down on the west coast while the ring where up in flames. People go that extra mile when it comes to this match, they become people they never knew they could be, people they never wanted to be. And whilst I’ve never been in a situation like that before, I’ve seen what it has done to men and women before. I’ve helped pick up the pieces afterwards, and no one is ever exactly the same after all that. Isn’t that right, Dom?

To Jackie’s right stands a cardboard cutout of Dom Harter in one of his more famous poses, a “New Murder” bandana covering his mouth, along with a Jackie Fowler t-shirt draped over him.

✦JACKIE FOWLER: This is my tag team partner. His name is Dom Harter. Bit of a silent rogue to be fair, but one or two of you have heard of him. We’re best mates, me and Dom, ain’t we mate?


Jackie leans forward to let the cutout “speak”, but then snaps back again.

✦JACKIE FOWLER: Shut up, Dom.

Fowler clicks his fingers and lets out one of his trademark laughs before continuing.

✦JACKIE FOWLER: Now we’re a team, we’ve teamed before. Might not have talked much, but we got the job done. Me and Emi have only faced eachother before, but we know what is on the line and we know what it takes to get what we want. And me and the Champ? Well, we get along like a house on fire, and if it takes setting the literal house on fire come War Games, so be it. Coz I ain’t ever seen Fel as pissed off as she is now, and that girl is frickin’ lethal on the rag, never mind this. So Jinzai and Jaxon, the faggot and the maggot, they are going to get what they deserve, mark my words. Sell the match, Dom.

Fowler then looks to the cutout for sage like wisdom.

✦DOM CUTOUT: ...


✦JACKIE FOWLER: F**king hell, mate. You been taking promo classes with Andreas as well?

He lets out another little laugh.

✦JACKIE FOWLER: Take a look into this man’s cold, dead eyes. Take a look. He’s fired up man. Look at him! Look at him! He’s a stone cold psycho. He’s ready to bring the Murder… Not the actual Murder, like, they ain’t contracted, but literal murder. He’s gonna papercut some bitches, this one, and that is pain. He brings the papercut pain. What’s that, Dom? What you say?

Fowler suddenly looks disgusted by what he “hears”.

✦JACKIE FOWLER: Dude… don’t think that has anything to do with the match, keep that for the DM sliding, bro.

He turns back to the camera, with a twinkle in his eye.

✦JACKIE FOWLER: So, shit yourself all you like lads, go on and find some dumbasses who might be willing to step into the Match Beyond against us four. Seriously, good luck with that, because you’ve bloody pissed off nigh on the entire roster these past few months, and you’re really gonna struggle to find some cannon fodder to absorb the Dothraki charge coming your way. You watched that episode, didn’t you Dom?

Jackie just stares at the cardboard cut out of Dom Harter for a second, blinking a few times.

✦JACKIE FOWLER: No? Soz ‘ard, spoilers. But you know what I mean, don’t ya? But that ain’t the only thing coming up roses now, is it? As we got a little prelude to the cell in War Games with an equally ballsed up cage match at Titletown. You see that poster, Dom?

He stares at it again, as if having a full blown conversation with it, nodding his head as he gets his response.

✦JACKIE FOWLER: Damn, bro. Cold. You retweeted it. But moving on, Jaxon, you mangy, manky, maraudering, munter looking mucker… You’re gonna get what is coming to you, and your old bumbuddy Jinzai ain’t gonna be there to help you out this time, coz you’re all locked out and you can’t do anything about it now, can ya? Just me, Drag Queen, my two fists and fifteen foot of unforgiving steel. And I am more than ready to give all seven doses of hell and then some before the end of that match.

Jackie looks the camera dead on, looking more serious than he has in quite some time, the jovial edge that he keeps soon vanishing to be replaced with a cold stare and venom in his voice.

✦JACKIE FOWLER: You’ve tried dragging me down, you’ve tried ending me career, you’ve gloated, you’ve cursed, you’ve attacked me from behind and this, that and the other while Jinzai has had your back, high on a sugar rush screaming “king of the world” like a shit Leonard DiCrapio skateboarding, emo anime, octopus porn fuckwad from the twelfth gate of looks like a lady, actually he’s a tramp whilst jerking off to his Brytain Rollins collection of “All Pinky, Fap Party”.

He outstretches his arms, that cheshire cat grin appearing once more.

✦JACKIE FOWLER: Queen, I’ve told you enough times, you don’t know who you’re messing with, mate. You don’t know Jack. But come Titletown, you will know. And I’m taking your pride, your dignity and that Dynasty title. And I’m truly gonna make it mean something.Isn’t that right, Dom?

He pats the cardboard cutout on the back of the head, knocking it clean off, which startles him as Dom’s “head” falls to the floor. He blinks a few times, whistles to himself and looks around sheepishly.

✦JACKIE FOWLER: Bygones...

And with that, he sprints from the room as the cameras cut elsewhere.

Backstage, and Eli Zayn is walking towards the catering department with dreams of grilled chicken in his head. Unfortunately for him, he gets accosted before he can even grab a plate. A strange arm wraps itself around his shoulders as Eli looks over to see The Tenacious Little Bastard standing next to him. He’s not dressed to wrestle, obviously, and instead is wearing jeans and his ‘Bygones’ t-shirt, along with a huge grin on his face.

✦DOM HARTER: So what’s good tonight?

✦ELI ZAYN: Dom? I wasn’t expecting you to be here tonight…

✦DOM HARTER: And miss the chance to visit this great city? And meet these great fans right here in Minneapolis?

There’s the cheap pop from the fans in attendance, which Dom can’t hear as he’s too far in the catacombs of the Target Center for it to be audible. But he allows for a couple of seconds before speaking again.

✦DOM HARTER: And charge them all five dollars each for an autograph!

✦ELI ZAYN: Really?!

Pause.

✦DOM HARTER: What, no! I’m just joking. But this is the only place where Felicity Banks can’t duck me, and I need to talk to her. Plus there’s UE roaming around, just begging for an asskicking. And I’m feeling generous, Eli.

✦ELI ZAYN: Is this about her threatening to leave unless she gets exclusive money?

✦DOM HARTER: And wanting to leave with the title, because I just can’t allow that to happen, Eli. I’m not going to lie and say it’s always been my dream to become the HKW World Champion – it used to be Global champion, but then the draft happened! But ever since I signed that contract and debuted in the Rumble to Destiny, I’ve been working towards this goal.

Harter clenches his fist as he speaks, gesticulating with it for emphasis.

✦DOM HARTER: From that undefeated streak on Subversion, my battles with Christian Kane, the journey to winning the Destiny Cup earlier this year. And at Control I came this close to becoming the World champion! Before UE screwed me over. Before Felicity Banks capitalized, and ended my undefeated streak here in HKW…

Pause.

✦DOM HARTER: And now she wants to walk away? Now she wants to leave with that title? She wants to throw her weight around and demand more money? And you think this’d bother me, right?

✦ELI ZAYN: I’d assume so. But you’ve been … I don’t want to say lackadaisical about the whole ordeal, but…

✦DOM HARTER: Trust me, Eli, I’m not. See the one thing that remains certain right now is that I’ll be main eventing Titletown later this month. And I don’t mind if it’s Felicity Banks standing across the ring from me or not. I’ll be there, and the HKW World Championship will be on the line. And at the end of the night, it’ll be my hand being raised before I leave Green Bay as the new HKW World Champion!

Another pause as Dom gesticulates again, punching the air for emphasis as he speaks.

✦DOM HARTER: Felicity Banks can’t stop me, UE can’t stop me, Emilio or anyone else who wants to stick their nose into my business – they can’t stop me either. And once I become champion, I’ll finish what Jaxon and Jinzai started, and with the help of whoever’s willing to stand by my side, we’ll dismantle them piece by piece. And HKW can be ushered into a new era, free from the shackles of UE, the pillars, and whoever else wants to stake a claim to this company.

The familiar crooked grin spreads across Dom’s face as he finishes his speech.

✦DOM HARTER: And that’s a beautiful image…

He says before walking away into the catering area, leaving Eli trailing behind as the show cuts back to ringside for the next match.

MATCH FIVE
RELAXED RULES MATCH

Ace Watson vs. Bianca Davis


Before the match began, Ace made sure to get Veronica Taylor as far away from the ring as possible. After chasing her with a chair, he turned his attention to the ex and now bitter rival, Bianca Davis.

A crazed look came over Watson's eye as he looked at the chair in his hand, and pulled Bianca Davis out of the ring! The commentators spoke on never seeing like this, but after what the Pretty Committee did to him? They knew that one day he'd snap.

BAM!

Watson smashed the chair right across Bianca's face, turning around immediately see the helpless look on Veronica face.

"I told you I would end her career..."

He turned Bianca to face him and pressed the edge of the chair against his exes throat. One look back at Veronica..

"I end you next."

BAM

Ace jabbed the edge of the chair directly into Bianca's throat, blood immediately squirting out of her mouth. Ace tossed the chair to the side as the HKW doctors rushed to Bianca's aid, immediately throwing up the X sign as Ace stared daggers through Veronica.

Charlie Valentine and Nest were walking backstage. After what happened to Banahan, Cole last week at the hands of Harbinger the previous show, they were not taking any chances. He looked around a corner to see a completely empty hallway. Shaking his head no, Charlie knew that hallway was a trap. So instead he turned around, but Harbinger was already standing there! Charlie jumped back several feet but Nest stood motionless.

✦HARBINGER The time has come.

Charlie gulped as he straightened himself up and adjusted his suit.

✦CHARLIE VALENTINE Time? I don’t believe you made an appointment for our time, freakazoid. You think I’m scared of you or that little Hot Topic wannabe? You think because you snuck up on Cole, you can do it to me? Contrary to popular belief, I’m much smarter than that nerd!

Charlie laughs at Harbinger as the large man suddenly grabs Charlie and pulls him close. Lamia appears behind Harbinger, a goat horn knife clutched between her teeth.

✦HARBINGER The debt isn’t with you. Run and never look back.

He lets go of Charlie, who turns tail and runs off as fast as humanly possible, leaving Nest alone. Valentine yells, his voice trailing off as he gets farther away.

✦CHARLIE VALENTINE YOU GOT THIS BIG NEST!

The beast hasn’t been “programmed” and is completely helpless, as he goes to act but cannot move a muscle. Harbinger walks up to Nest and grabs him by the neck. Lamia hops to the ground and slinks her way behind Nest as she takes the knife in her hand. Harbinger rips the shirt off Nest as Lamia digs her nails into his shoulder, driving the tip of the knife into the flesh of his back.

Nest neither winces nor screams in pain as the knife glides through his skin. Blood drips to the floor as Lamia gleefully carves a large symbol into his back. A rune similar to the ones that appear on the gate the two have built. A symbol of Them. Lamia pulls the knife back as she grins wickedly at the sight of sliced flesh.

✦LAMIA He is marked.

✦HARBINGER No fear. Good. There is no fear. Fear is the mind killer. When you let it pass through you, there will nothing left. Only you and They will remain. That is the Covenant of the Void. The Gift only shows you the way to get there.

Lamia licks the bloody blade as she and Harbinger soon part from Nest, leaving him standing in the middle of this hallway, his back bleeding from this marking. Reaching around his back, Nest notices his hand completely covered in blood. The beast tilts his head before slowly fading, and finally passing out on the ground.

Backstage, The Tenacious Little Bastard can be found just leaving the catering area; he’s wiping the last few drops of barbecue sauce from his lips before balling the napkin up, and shooting it perfectly into the nearest trash can. A celebratory fist pump, and Dom Harter turns around to leave – but he has to stop as he suddenly finds himself face to face with the HKW World champion herself, Felicity Banks.

✦DOM HARTER: Where the hell did you come from?

✦FELICITY BANKS: Have you not learned I’m everywhere by now?

Harter looks around, trying to find the blind spot from which Banks appeared. But there’s nothing there.

✦DOM HARTER: But seriously, whe–

✦FELICITY BANKS: Shut up, an–

✦DOM HARTER: That makes it very difficult for us to have a conversation, Felicity. If I shut up, I mean.

There’s a tense silence between them as Felicity rolls her eyes. She turns to leave, but not before adding.

✦FELICITY BANKS: Forget about it, I’ve got more important things to worry about than a washed up–

✦DOM HARTER: Ah, there’s no need to resort to name calling.

He wags his finger in her face, forcing Fel to slap it away. She goes to leave again, but Dom speaks up to grab her attention before she can get anywhere.

✦DOM HARTER: Bygones…

He says, causing Fel to stop walking and turn back around to look at the man she’ll be facing at Titletown in a few weeks time. Harter takes a step forward, closing the gap between them; two of the top wrestlers in the world today standing mere inches apart as they glare at one another. A smirk forms on Harter’s face as he continues speaking.

✦DOM HARTER: That’s what this is about, right? So we can go into Titletown with a clean slate, put on the greatest match these fans will ever see, and bring some prestige back to that title--

He points at the belt on Fel’s shoulder.

✦DOM HARTER: --after the travesty that was Control. And before I walk out of Green Bay as the new HKW World Champion!

✦FELICITY BANKS: You make it very easy to hate you.

✦DOM HARTER: And yet I’m beloved by all!

Pause.

✦DOM HARTER: Well, by most. Here anyway.

✦FELICITY BANKS: Do you ever shut up, Dom?

✦DOM HARTER: Not really, I just love the sound of my own voice too much. Kind of like you on Twitter, where you just go on and on and on…

Banks pinches the bridge of her nose; if she’s being honest with herself, she’s not too sure why she’s putting herself through this. It’s not as if the two of them were good friends before this whole thing started back in April, so she wouldn’t be losing anything if she just walks away from this right now.

✦FELICITY BANKS: Just shut up and listen, Dom.

Felicity sighs. What came next for was an easy thing for.

✦FELICITY BANKS: I’m so---

She stutters and rolls her eyes.

✦FELICITY BANKS: Ree. And I think you and by now that even though we’re not the greatest friends, rivals, anything...

The honesty is pouring out of her eyes, Harter remains skeptical, unsure of what to make of this side of the world champion. He eyes her with suspicion as she continues.

✦FELICITY BANKS: I know UE. We have to be on the same page, Dom. I’ll defend my title against you. F*ck, you can beat me for it! But I’ll have my rematch, and that’ll settle itself out.

She takes small step forward, never taking her eyes from Dom.

✦FELICITY BANKS: But we have a common enemy...and we won’t get rid of them if we’re not on the same page.

Felicity holds her hand out, her eyes still locked on Dom’s.

✦FELICITY BANKS: Bygones?

Harter doesn’t move for a moment, however; he knows this could well be a trap, and The Supreme could well be luring him in, getting him to lower his guard before striking. It’s Felicity Banks, nothing is beyond her. But maybe he sensed a slither of honesty in there somewhere. Just a hint? Just enough for him to say:

✦DOM HARTER: Bygones…

As he shakes her hand. Neither of their expressions changing until a little smirk breaks out on Dom’s face.

✦DOM HARTER: See, that wasn’t so hard was it?

The World champion rolls her eyes.

✦FELICITY BANKS: I swear to God you’re infuriating…

But still the handshake continues, reaching near Trump levels of awkward as the show cuts to elsewhere.

The camera opens up backstage, showing Jinzai pacing back and forth outside of the locker room area. Still reeling from Emilio’s decision to favor Felicity Banks over he and Jaxon Queen to kick off the show along with the announcement of the Wargames Match, HKW’s Supa Saiya-Jin Roze was incensed as he mutters to himself.

✦JINZAI: … think they can get away with this? After everything we put in? Ohohohoh, they’ve got another Goddamned thing coming.

He’s so caught up in his anger that he doesn’t hear Eli Zayne walking towards him.

✦ELI ZAYN: Uh.. Jinzai…? You okay…?

Jinzai’s head snaps in his direction and twitches violently.

✦JINZAI: Yeah, peachy. Fan f*cking tastic. My family’s fallen apart right before my very eyes because my siblings, to be blunt, are freaking idiots. They’re idiots for thinking that this is what Jax and I wanted and not seeing that this is all some ploy right when the powers that be, IN THEIR INFINITE WISDOM, decides to try and make the rift bigger with a Wargames Match!

Jin punches the wall right next to him, breathing heavily as he tries to calm down. As he’s coming down from his raged induced rant, his eye catches a glimpse of the nameplate on the door he’s right next to and pauses, allowing Eli to finally begin to speak.

✦ELI ZAYN: I er… I actually came here to get your thoughts on the match. We saw you and Jaxon Queen recruit Felix Vialpando earlier after War Games was announced, but you’re still down one member -

Jinzai suddenly stands up straight, waving Eli off as he lets out a chuckle.

✦JINZAI: Nah… nah, we’re right where we need to be.

Zayn blinked, confused and more than a little concerned at the sudden shift in behavior from Jinzai, who looked like he was in the middle of a violent breakdown just a few seconds prior.


✦ELI ZAYN: Wha… what do you mean?

Jinzai slings an arm around Eli’s shoulders, roughly bringing the interviewer into his side as a manic grin stretches across his face.

✦JINZAI: It’s exactly as it sounds, Eli. If this is what it’ll take for those two to finally get it, then so be it. But if Hebi & Sasori wanna go an make this a family affair after EVERYTHING we’ve all been through together? Then Goddammit, I’ll make this a f*cking family affair.

The grin only gets wider as Jinzai continues to speak.

✦JINZAI: While Hebi & Sasori are out here trying to form some bullsh*t Justice League with the cavalcade of lessers that UE has already tossed aside? I’m picking someone I know can produce results.

Eli goes to ask who, but Jinzai places a hand over his mouth, on a roll and not stopping anytime soon.

✦JINZAI: You wanna know who he is Eli? Welp, tough shit. But since I’m SUCH A NICE GUY… I can throw you a bone and give you a few ideas.

Jinzai removes his hand and clenches it into a fist, a mischievous smile forming as he continues speaking.

✦JINZAI: This person I’m picking? they’re a monster in between those ropes and they’re someone Sasori channn ESPECIALLY knows well. One of the best wrestlers in HKW - no, f*ck that. The WORLD right now, maybe the best period. Kinda a tag team specialist, kinda a great singles wrestler. One of the best to do it here in the states, all the f*ck the way over in Japan where they’re a friggen legend. Almost anywhere they set foot in, they’ve won gold there. Here in HKW? They’re practically Golden, but sadly the brass at Planet Hard Knox has made the grave mistake of disrespecting this person for a long… long time.

Jinzai’s grip on Eli’s shoulder tightens, causing the small yelp to escape from Eli’s lips.

✦JINZAI: But that all changes at War Games. So bring your friends Em, Fel, bring your impotent ass teammates, BRING EM ALL! And watch as UE knocks every single one of them down one. By One. By Damned One.

Jinzai finally releases Eli and walks off as Eli winces, clutching at his shoulder in mild discomfort as he stares after the young man. Eli shakes out the damaged limb as he goes to walk off, leaving the camera to focus on the blacked out name plate on the door, reading out KAI as the scene fades to black.

The sounds of “Jager Yoga” by CSS begins to play throughout the arena as Annie Zellor steps out from behind the curtain; the fans in attendance begin to cheer as Zellor keeps her head down, bouncing from one foot to the other in time with the music. She raises her head, rocking out as she looks out across the crowd. Annie stands there with her feet apart, raising one hand up high with the devil horns, before finally heading down the aisle.

✦WHISPER VIPERI: Ladies and gentlemen, making her way to the ring from Staten Island, New York. Weighing in at 125 pounds … ANNIE ZELLOR!

Some HKW fans reach out for the high five, and for those fans Annie happily obliges. But she tries to drown out the small proportion of them who jeer her from a distance. Zellor climbs up the ring steps and stops on the apron, taking another moment to look out across the crowd before she flips backwards over the top rope to enter the ring. There, Annie heads to her corner and climbs a turnbuckle as she waits for this match to get started.

✦JACK WARREN: I’m so glad Onyx has popped her one.

✦BRIAN MASON: That’s because you are mean?

✦JACK WARREN: No! THE MAN supports the fact that---

The lights in the arena go completely out but, no music begins over the PA System. Annie looks a bit confused as she looks around the arena herself as the lights begin to flash silver, white, and black as if they were strobing lights surrounding the arena. The camera then pans towards the crowd, a spotlight shining it’s way as it goes in search for her opponent. Then the lights above the ring come on causing Zellor to look up and mouth WHAT THE ? she raises her hand to catch what seems to be pieces of black ash at first but, once under closer inspection they are nothing more than black rose petals. This causes Annie to get on edge as she raises her first and looks around the ring just waiting to what she assumes to be an ambush of some kind by Onyx but, as she turns to the entrance, her face becomes even more bewildered than before as a cloaked figure is seen walking down the ramp way.

The figure is walking slow in her dark cloak as she carries a basket of red roses on her her arm. When she approaches the ring, Annie takes a step back allowing the figure to enter after she carefully climbs the steel steps. She then approaches Whisper and asks politely for her microphone. Annie approaches the cloaked person as you can hear her voice over the microphone ask, Where’s Onyx? before turning around to make sure the person she asked for wasn’t sneaking up behind her.

✦JACK WARREN: What’s this black looking Hunchback?

When the mysterious figure put the microphone to their lips, her voice came in a calming elderly woman's voice.

✦ELDERLY WOMAN: My child. I have brought you a message from The Silent Rose.

Annie tilts her head as she repeats The Silent Rose to herself in question.

✦ELDERLY WOMAN: She says this Grudge match won’t do either of you any favors, and it’s just a waste of your time. A waste of your god given talents. If you fight today, it will not solve the problems that you two currently have. It won’t give either of you the satisfaction you guys will require to settle your quarrel. When a match presents itself worthy enough, than The Silent Rose will wrestle you, and she will silence you forever.

✦BRIAN MASON: Sounds like Onyx doesn’t appear to like the concept of a Grudge match.

✦JACK WARREN: Not one like this anyway. Sounds like a certain match type will be considered worthy of Onyx’s time.

The woman than reaches into her basket, and pulls out one single black rose and hands it over to the frustrating looking Annie Zellor. Annie takes the rose and looks it over before leaning forward to the microphone.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: I have a message you can give to “The Silent Rose”

Annie then throws the rose at her feet and stomps on it with one foot. Driving her booted toes into it, twisting it into the mat until there was nothing left but the step. She then kicks it behind her and out of the ring.

✦ELDERLY WOMAN: She would also like to know where you were, when she needed you the most.

The Elderly woman bows her head in kind before making her leave as “Jager Yoga” by CSS begins to play leaving Annie in the ring kicking the rose petals out of her way as she herself leaves the ring frustrated and clearly upset.

VOICE OVER GUY: “However It will not be Kenni Killswitch…..”

Her picture disappears and is replaced by a picture of Josh Mitchell and highlights of his career in Underground are shown as well as video of him outside the ring talking with fans. His picture appears again and like with Kenni there is a red “X” under his picture.

VOICE OVER GUY: “Unfortunately tonight is not Josh Mitchell’s night either…….

The face changes to that of the current ITV Champion Lyza Reyes and highlights of her HKW career are shown including her winning the ITV championship and also footage from her defense in the Winner Takes All Match at Control. Her picture appears with the red “X” under it

The knoxtron lights up to a somewhat ring ready Jason Mentez in his wrestling tights and his Adidas sweater he had on earlier in the night. The crowd screams something wild as they see him once again that similar fire in his eyes. More and more into the dark background he looks left to right sliding behind a wall as he once again sees who he’s looking for. The camera pans out a little to get who’s up ahead in view --- Asha Astor made her way down the hall looking around for someone as if she were a lost puppy. She wandered looking around like naive child stopping to look at things backstage messing with them as if there were trinkets.

Jason watches as she approaches...he waits only for a few more seconds and pounces off the wall jumping at Asha his hands locking right around her neck as he forces her against the far wall making her hit harshly with a thud.

✦JASON MENTEZ: Looking for sumthin’ Busted Barbie?

Asha gasps feeling his hand around her neck. She smiles at him as he speaks looking into his eyes.

✦ASHA ASTOR: I knew it'd be you…

She says with a low whisper smiling at him with a twisted look in her eyes. His hands start to tighten around her neck only a little. Nearing his breaking point he's tired. Tired from the moment he returned to now. Tired of the words said and jokes thrown. He was starting to break with the chinks in his armor glaring. His eyes lasering a hole through Asha as his breathing deepens.

✦JASON MENTEZ: So you know it'll be me dat finally ends you too eh? You think dis shit fun n games? WHY ARE YOU FUCKING WITH ME?! Why is EVERYONE FUCKING... FUCKING WIT ME?! Dis what you want, huh? For me to snap yo shit?!

He tightens his hands a little more.

✦JASON MENTEZ: I am not your sacrificial lamb. I aint your goddamn intro step into Defiance n I damn sure aint yo Ken doll to be lickin all up on!! ¿Entendido?

His hands tighten more and more as his voice rises in decibels. He notices her discomfort it brings a smile to his face. Asha keeps up her discomfort look a few seconds more before she manages to smirk at him. She struggles to speak and get air.

✦ASHA ASTOR: You wanna play? Let's play…

She says as dark blood like liquid begins to leak from her open mouth. There's electrical voltage sounds in the background before a nearby monitor explodes sending an alarming blast. The blast causes Jason to jump slightly in defense after already being weirded the hell out by what is coming out of her mouth. Pieces of the large monitor blow near Jason and Asha causing him to lower his hands and slightly cover up so glass and metal don't hit his face. Asha starts to laugh at his reaction to things happens around him.

✦ASHA ASTOR: You will not survive.

She says in a whisper before the lights power off in the area the occupied. When power returns Asha is gone.

The scene opens up in what looks like the center corridor of a shopping mall. Bloomington, Minnesota is known for being the home of the famous, Mall of America; the same location where our favorite pee wee hockey players Charlie, Jesse, and Averman rollerbladed through to reunite the team. It was a typical Sunday afternoon at the shopping mecca, filled with people from various parts of the country carrying shopping bags and whatever sweet or savory indulgence available at the food court.

As the camera captures footage of the shoppers, there’s a small crowd that forms near the escalators. The cameraman then pans over to the top of the escalator, capturing four attractive women of different races/ethnic backgrounds in cardigans, each one wearing a different color from the other. In their hands, they carry a small gift bag usually given to the birthday girl or boy. They step on the escalator going down, looking from side to side as the crowd below continues to grow. The color of the cardigans is a representation of the brands pertaining to HKW: Teal, Black and Gray, Royal Blue, and a fiery Orange.

Once the women reach the bottom of the escalator, several spectators (mainly the males,) take their mobile devices out to take pictures and video footage. A tall man wearing a Twins baseball cap points at the younger of the women, Tristan Martinez’ significant other, Shannon Ventiglimia donning the royal blue cardigan. The other three women are also part of the Quag Inc Modeling Agency ran by the influential designer, Phoenix. Tatiyani Pierce stands fiercely in a curve hugging black and gray top, Diosa proudly wears the teal cardigan to match her suede pumps, and Gabi (seen in Macto Legion,) is wearing a fiery orange cardigan, channeling her inner tigress.

The four models form a straight line like obedient cadets, marching towards the large water fountain. They are followed by the crowd who continue to take more pictures, calling out their names, however, they keep it professional by sticking to the script. Now standing inches away from the marble and concrete structure, the Quag Inc. models form a horizontal line. Shannon is at one end, with Tatiyani at the other. Gabi and Diosa stand in the middle. They all raise the gift bags to take out a white round object. Pampering enthusiasts recognize these objects as “bath bombs.”

Full of enthusiasm and anticipation, Shannon is the first one to throw the bath bomb in the fountain, Diosa and Tatiyani follow suit. There’s a look of indifference from the women and some of the closest spectators as the color did not change drastically as expected from these balls.

✦RANDOM MALL RAT #1: Is anyone else getting blue ba--?

✦MALE VOICEOVER: Attention all shoppers, if you missed the Hard Knox Wrestler meet and greet at Pro Image Sports, please be sure to stop by to purchase signed memorabilia from your favorite wrestlers! Each purchase will automatically enter you in a contest to win tickets to tonight’s event! You don’t want to miss this!

At the end of the announcement, the women go back to paying attention to the fountain.

✦SHANNON: Pssst, Gabi! Just drop it like we were told.

As a small number of fans begin to leave, Gabi releases the ball in the fountain. Out of the other three that went in the fountain looking like Alka Seltzer, hers changed the color of the water to a foamy mix of bright orange with bits of yellow and red. The models applaud in unison, as some of the spectators applaud as well.

The applauds are drowned out as the mall speakers blare out the first minute of “Defiance” by Righteous Vendetta. The song then fades, transitioning to the sound effect of an incoming UFO. The shoppers look around at one another uncertain of what’s going on, becoming silent as they continue to listen to the sounds. Strobe lights from the ceiling rotate around the marble flooring, leading to the sound of something tapping on a microphone.

✦FEMALE VOICEOVER: Helllllooo, Bloomington! I hope you’re all enjoying Sunday Funday at the Mall of America! Some of you may know that tonight on Defiance, I, Lyza Reyes will be defending my Interbrand Television Championship against three individuals each from the other three brands owned by Hard Knox Wrestling. Defiance, RISE, Underground, and Subversion will be represented tonight in a Fatal Four Way match for the title that I proudly hold.

The rules of a Fatal Four Way can favor the individual that is in the right place at the right time. This is a gem for an opportunist, and I wonder, which one of the four is exactly that?

There’s no denying of Josh Mitchell’s resiliency, and being able to push forward despite the challenges life has given him. Ashley Chase has given it a ‘go in the Bloodlust division, escaping deadly situations in the Mansion of Ruin match. And then we have the self-proclaimed Princess of Hardcore who wants to embody the same business practice that kills the American economy.

TSK. TSK.

Since day one, I’ve been ‘shooting my shot,’ and numbers will say that I’ve missed, but when it was really necessary? I pulled through. Crowned Royalty, House of Pain: Venom, Defiance 58, Control, defending my ITV title against Tommy Evans, and so on. Tonight will not be any different in me seeking an opportunity and capitalizing on it. This isn’t my first rodeo in making a title division ultra competitive. Those that think they can win a few introductory matches and automatically earn contender-ship for a World Championship are in for a detour. Where higher ranked champions were losing interest once conquering the grandest of prizes, I kept folks hungry and tuned in before the main event. I plan on continuing that here until it’s…time.

A “boop” sound effect comes from the elevator across from the set of escalators. A blonde woman in a crimson red cardigan stricken with curiosity is the first to step on the escalator going up. The cameraman follows after, staying several steps behind as the journey up seems to last a lifetime. At the top of the escalator, a light shines over the ITV Champion, Lyza Reyes. She stands in a fitted blue button down shirt, black skinny pants, and the ITV Championship belt wrapped around her waist. The blonde makes it to the top of the escalator, carefully stepping off to make her way to where Reyes is. She hands the Defiance talent a ball painted in black, purple, blue, and silver resembling a galaxy. Lyza holds the ball in her hand, extending it forward. She then looks into the camera whispering the following...

✦LYZA REYES: Ultraaa…

As her voice trails off, she releases the smoke bomb from her grip. A cloud of smoke fills the frame, and as the smoke clears, the blonde remains in place whereas Lyza is nowhere to be found.

The feed now cuts to the inside of the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A male and female sitting front row are featured on the Knoxotron waving into the camera. The female is sporting a Serpiente LAX t-shirt, while the male proudly shows off his Christian Kane t-shirt.

✦BRIAN MASON: And there we have the winners of the Pro Image Sports contest! Congratulations, guys.

The scene fades into a commercial break.

✦WHISPER VIPERI: This fatal four way match is scheduled for one fall and it is for the HKW INTERBRAND TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP!

The camera pans down as Beyonce’s “Run The World” starts up. Kenni Killswitch comes out, strutting to the stage. When she stands there, she looks out expectantly to the audience. When she gets boos, she scrunches her face up and starts down the ramp without much care for her critics.

✦WHISPER VIPERI: Introducing first...from Brookyln, New York...weighing in at 125 pounds...the self-proclaimed HARDCORE PRINCESS...KENNI KILLSWITCH!

✦JACK WARREN: Mhm, love me some Killswitch.

✦BRIAN MASON: I’m not so much a fan of her. She’s arrogant and cowardly, but she’s determined to get to the top. Tonight would be that chance for her. So if anything I wish her luck.

She stops at the end of the ramp, seeing a fan presenting a sign at her. She heads over to them and takes out a Sharpie to sign something for them. When they present the sign, she grabs onto, but snatches it to the ground. She drops the Sharpie and calls the fan a “lesser” and hits the ring.

The lights dim and a spotlight shines on the stage area and then “Glorious” begins to play throughout the arena.


GLORIOUS!!!!



I WON’T GIVE IN, I WON’T GIVE IN!!!



UNTIL I AM VICTORIOUS!!!!


✦WHISPER VIPERI: Hailing from Beverly Hills, California and weighing in at 120 lbs, ASHLEY MARIE CHASE!!!!!!

✦BRIAN MASON: Just last week, AMC picked up a victory over the Lionheart Champ--

✦JACK WARREN: A TAINTED ONE! F**K TRISTAN!

✦BRIAN MASON: ...um, yes, but Ashley looks to pick up another championship here in HKW, but she has a tough road ahead of her.

Ashley then rises up from under the stage and stretches her arms out to her side to a good ovation from the fans. She then makes her way down the aisle slapping hands with the crowd. She climbs onto the announcers table and does some gyrating and hair whipping to the beat of her music before long she hops down. She then walks up the steps and onto the ring apron.

After she wipes her feet on the apron she steps through the ropes and seductively removes her robe and lets it slide off her body. She then leans forward before whipping her hair back and arching her body and stares into the crowd. She then goes to her corner and pulls on the ropes waiting for the bell to ring.

As I Won’t Back Down begins to play through the PA, the lights focused on the entranceway change colour with each power chord, until Josh pushes his way through the black curtain, the lights turning white as he does so, wearing a sleeveless hoodie, hood up, in addition to his ring gear. He pauses a moment in the entranceway, spreading his arms wide, before slowly setting off to the ring.

✦WHISPER VIPERI: Introducing next...from McLeansville, North Carolina...weighing in at 190 pounds...JOSH MITCHELL!

✦JACK WARREN: One Leg Josh! I love this dude.

✦BRIAN MASON: Do you? He’s a tremendous talent from Underground with a lot of momentum and the crowd’s love. The crowd will totally be behind this motivational man.

✦JACK WARREN: No, I don’t...he keeps using that leg as a crutch.

He tries to focus on the ring as he walks, but can't resist a few sly glances to the crowd, a smile playing across his lips as he does do. As he reaches the apron, he rolls into the ring under the bottom rope, before getting to his feet, and jerks his head back, displacing the hood from his head. before smiling and nodding to the crowd. He then makes his way to his corner, removing his hoodie before leaning against the ringpost, testing his weight on his prosthetic limb, checking it for fit and comfort.

A black and white video vignette begins rolling on the screens, showing Lyza Reyes dressed as Charlie Chaplin on the moon. There is no dialogue, but simply piano music playing with the pace of the footage. She's caught in the middle of a tug of war match between a U.S. Spaceman, and a small group of miniature aliens. Before determining which side pulls Lyza once and for all, the venue goes pitch black, and "In Distress" by A$AP Rocky featuring Gesaffelstein begins to play.

"I'm something out this world, nothing like the rest..."

She makes her way down the ramp, tagging a few hands along the way.

✦WHISPER VIPERI: And the opponent, hailing from The Space Age, it's the HKW ITV Champion, Lyza Reyes!

✦JACK WARREN: So I have this conspiracy--

✦BRIAN MASON: Lyza Reyes is on her way to becoming the longest reigning ITV Champion soon. If she wins tonight, she ties Jackie Fowler for most defenses! However, they’ve really stacked the card against her tonight!

She walks up the steel steps, and positions herself in the center of the ring to scope out the audience. She points at fans also known as "Lyzanites," in acknowledgment of their enthusiasm and admiration.

HKW INTERBRAND TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
FATAL FOUR WAY
Ashley Marie Chase (Subversion) vs Josh Mitchell (Underground) vs Kenni Killswitch (RISE) vs Lyza Reyes (Defiance)


DING! DING! DING!


Right away, it seems like an explosion was meant to happen. Mitchell and Lyza start to move forward to lock up, giving each other a nice handshake. Lyza gives a handshake to AMC. Mitchell gives AMC one too, displaying a round robin of respect. When Lyza turns to Kenni, she almost gets dropped by a clothesline, but she dodges with a hasty duck. Kenni goes into the grip of AMC, who shoves her towards Josh. Mitchell, reactively, scoops her up and drops her with an uranage. Soon as Kenni’s out of the way, the two girls take it to Josh, knowing that he is a bigger force in the match. Josh can barely defend himself against the flurry of blows until he is backed onto the ropes.

Lyza and AMC run off the ropes, trying for a double clothesline, but Kenni trips Lyza to the mat. AMC keeps going at Josh, who takes her down with a drop toe hold. He hooks into a quick heel hook from the move, starting on his general strategy of taking away the speed out of his faster opponents. AMC manages to drag herself towards the ropes, giving him some extra leverage to start prying herself free. When she does, she scoots underneath the ropes, and Josh gets back to a vertical base. AMC grabs him by the shoulder and drives her forearm into his face. While he stumbles away, she hits the top rope and leaps off, taking him down with a bulldog from the sky!

Kenni, meanwhile, has Lyza in prime position. She takes her to the turnbuckle, drops her to the ground, and unleashes a flurry of stomps. She drags Lyza away from the ropes before applying a chin lock slowly. She torques the hold with some clear malice and transitions the hold methodically into a grounded headlock. She taunts to the camera before catching a knee to the back from Lyza. Annoyed by the attempt to escape, Kenni starts to choke her blatantly. The referee gets close, and Kenni stops her assault. She eyes the referee, not at all pleased with his interruption.

“Excuse me, this is legal here,” she explained, loud enough for the camera to hear before she goes back to choking Lyza worse than she did earlier. Lyza struggles to get out of, but she does not by her own avail. AMC interrupts the choking with a brisk kick to the mouth of Kenni Killswitch. Kenni abandons the ring, holding her mouth.

✦BRIAN MASON: You hear that kick? That was AMC teaching Kenni a thing or two about awareness!

✦JACK WARREN: Or how to be rude as hell! There was nothing illegal going on there!

Lyza starts to get up, and AMC offers her a hand. Lyza takes her hand. When AMC brings her up, she tries for a Samoan Drop, but Lyza gets out of it and shoves her forward. When AMC turns around, Lyza shakes her head at her, and tells her that she was paying attention. AMC shrugs, responding with “it was worth a shot”. The two start to move around the ring, looking to lock up. When they do, Lyza takes her down with a Tiger Spin. She cleanly applies a Muta Lock right afterwards. The crowd pops at the smoothness of Lyza’s wrestling. Yet, Mitchell is back in the ring with a slingshot senton onto Lyza’s risen stomach. She crashes down onto AMC’s back and Josh goes for the cover on both of them.

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT FROM BOTH WOMEN!


✦JACK WARREN: That was pretty smart of the eunuch.

✦BRIAN MASON: Yes--wait, Josh isn’t an...that’s a setup and I know it. Anyways, Josh Mitchell managed to catch Lyza full on with the senton. It’s rare to see him bust things like that out, but the high risk paid off.

✦JACK WARREN: He has one leg, so I just thought…

Mitchell picks up AMC, who was already recovering, and readies her for an inverted DDT. AMC fights out of it with some nasty shots from bottom. Mitchell backs up, and AMC turns around and throws a chest kick out. Mitchell falls back some more, leading to AMC trying for a springboard roundhouse kick. Josh ducks under it at the last second, sparking some life after the kicks. AMC manages to maintain her place, but a crisp knife edge chop sends her to the knees. Mitchell reaches down and pulls her back up for another chest chop, which sends her right to the mat. Kenni Killswitch comes in, but gets hit with a left chop and then a right chop. Finally, Mitchell gets some fine power behind the last chop that sends her to the mat. Lyza gets up, but when she comes forward, she sees Mitchell ready the chop and puts up her arms in defense.

✦JACK WARREN: Yeah, those chops to the boobs would make BB upset.

✦BRIAN MASON: Or, you know, just hurt.

Lyza steps forward when Mitchell tells her to get the first hit. Lyza readies her own hand, spicing it up with some stretches. She cracks her knuckles, and winds back. When she sends it out, she stops mid way and goes for a dropkick. Mitchell shoves her away, and when Lyza gets up, she already has her hands up in fear. Mitchell winds up and strikes her across the chest with a resounding chop. Lyza springs up off the ground and over the top rope. When she hits the outside, she sprawls entirely. Lyza Reyes seemingly died from the chop. Mitchell looks down at his hand, balls it into a fist, and gives himself a passionate pump to celebrate his efforts. Kenni Killswitch, however, rolls him up from behind. She grabs the tights for some extra leverage.

ONE!



TWO!




KICKOUT!


Kenni screeches out when Mitchell kicks out!

✦BRIAN MASON: She almost stole the ITV Championship right there. Wouldn’t that be something?

✦JACK WARREN: That Reed bitch would have never heard the end of it.

Kenni gets up, charging the referee slightly, but she has to avoid a Kick of Doom from AMC! The referee manages to get out of the way. Kenni sneaks behind AMC, who was looking at the referee in slight worry and plants her with a backstabber! She looks around, hoping not to see any movement. When she doesn’t, she stands up with a proud look on her face. Standing over AMC, Kenni starts to apply the Kenni Clutch. AMC has nowhere to go and the torque on the hold is killer!

✦BRIAN MASON: Kenni Clutch locked in! AMC might have to tap--OH!

The resounding noise of an elbow cracking the back of a woman’s head startles the crowd. Josh Mitchell lands the Crimson Elbow and then connects with the Ghost DDT. He goes for a cover with the crowd clearly behind him.

ONE!



TWO!


AMC breaks it up with a Full Facial to Josh Mitchell’s head!

✦JACK WARREN: Okay, I admit, that was some perfect timing right there!

Mitchell is out and AMC drags him off Kenni to pin him!

ONE!




TWO!


THR--KENNI DIVES IN!


Using whatever bit of energy she has, Kenni jolts over to break it up. After which, she falls out on the mat again. AMC gets up, frustrated that she wasn’t getting the win right there. So, she opts to put Kenni down for her troubles. She heads for the corner, waiting for Kenni to get up. Once the RISE starlet gets to her feet, AMC sprints in and plants her with the Walk of Fame!

BUT RIGHT AS SHE LANDS IT, LYZA HITS HER WITH PURA VIDA!

✦BRIAN MASON: Where did she come from?!

Lyza heads over to pin AMC and Kenni, holding her chest still from the chops.

ONE!





TWO!





THREE!


Mitchell breaks it up!

✦JACK WARREN: DAMMIT, YOU DICKLESS BASTARD!

Mitchell picks up Lyza, and sends her into the turnbuckle. Lyza climbs it out of instinct, but Mitchell jolts forward to trip her off the ropes. Lyza mushroom stomps him, but uses that momentum to put down the rising Kenni with a stylish Space Age! She goes for the quick pin right there!

ONE!






TWO!






THREE!


MITCHELL WAS TOO LATE TO BREAK IT UP!

DING! DING!! DING!!!

✦WHISPER VIPERI: Here is your winner and STILL HKW ITV CHAMPION...LYZAAAA REEEEEEEEEEYES!

The referee hands Lyza her championship, who holds it high in pride. Mitchell looks over, just inches from breaking up the pin. He sighs, but he nods at Lyza. AMC rolls out of the ring, disappointed in herself, but she heads up the ramp. Kenni comes to, with a scowl, but she abandons the ring, too tired to throw a tantrum or anything.

✦BRIAN MASON: Just like that!

✦JACK WARREN: Yeah, sneaky ass mother--I have some suspicions.

✦BRIAN MASON: Josh Mitchell was so close to breaking it up, but everyone gave Lyza a run for her money.

As all the challengers leave the ring, she raises her championship high into the air. She ascends the nearest turnbuckle and flashes a smile.

WINNER AND STILL HKW ITV CHAMPION: Lyza Reyes via pinfall (15:13)
