The scene cuts to Romeo Price sat in his office, casually looking up to the monitor to keep track of the delayed feed of Defiance every once in a while as he crosses some t’s and dots some i’s. All of a sudden however the door to his office swings open with force, the handle colliding with the wall, making a small hole in it as it collides with a rather loud bang. Startled somewhat, Romeo Price looks up from his paperwork to see the sight of Big Mike Carter slowly sauntering into his office. The big man looks left, then right, then looks over his shoulder into the hallway.

✦BIG MIKE: All clear, boss.

Price rolls his eyes, privy to what’s going on now as HENNY slowly steps into his office, quickly turning left and right to check the corners, keeping a hand on the World Championship slung over his shoulder as he does so. HENNY declines to speak for a moment, keeping his eye on a somewhat dark corner of the office for a moment, worried if that’s where Kai is hiding (it’s definitely not). Fed up with the silence, the General Manager of Defiance speaks up.

✦ROMEO PRICE: Is there something I can help you with, Mr. K-...‘HENNY’.

With his eyes still darting to the corner of the room every few seconds or so, HENNY turns to face the GM.

✦HENNY: You...uh...

He shakes his head, maintaining his focus on Romeo now.

✦HENNY: You can call me Mr. World Champion, it’s fine. I know you want to.

The champ smirks, chuckling slightly, turning and slapping Big Mike on the chest, who lets out a clearly forced chuckle of his own. Adjusting the title belt on his shoulder, HENNY turns back to Price, standing proudly in front of his desk before speaking again.

✦HENNY: Look, I could gloat all day about being the champ. Being the...sorry Jack Warren...MAN, running your brand, yadda yadda yadda - literally all day I could do that. But I’m growing up now. I’m taking on more responsibility, as a champion...a WORLD champion should. So with that said, I need you to fire Kai. Fire him now. Send him back to folding My Chemical Romance t-shirts at Hot Topic.

The champion seems surprisingly calm as he approaches Romeo’s desk, leaning forward onto it.

✦HENNY: Ban him, fire him - do whatever it takes to get that painted freak out of my com-... our company. Our brand. We can be great together, Romeo. You see it, don’t you? You can see the great things we can do together, you and me?

He turns away from the desk, gesturing wildly, his arms spread.

✦HENNY: We can run this company, and no one will be able to stop us. All you have to do...is get...rid...of...Kai. So what do you say pal? I’ll give you some time to think about i--

✦ROMEO PRICE: No.

HENNY does a double, no, triple take after turning around, now taking a quick step towards the desk.

✦HENNY: What!? What do you mean, no!?

✦ROMEO PRICE: As in, no thank you. You are the HKW World Champion, HENNY. Congratulations. Now, act like it. I’m not going to ban, nor fire Kai. The primary reason being that I’m just simply...not going to, the secondary reason being he has cashed in his rematch clause against you. And that match will be taking place at our next House of Pain event - Fall of Tyrants.

✦HENNY: After all this time you’ve still got it out for me, huh Romeo? HUH!? We’re gonna see about that, you...f**k! F**K!

HENNY spins on his heels, shooting a glare at Big Mike to get him to follow behind whilst storming out of the room. As he leaves, we can see HENNY muttering, the sound of which just about picked up by the cameras.

✦HENNY: Fall of Tyrants...I wish.

OPENING BOUT
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH | BLOODLUST #1 CONTENDER’S MATCH

C.T. Roessler vs Harbinger vs Tyberius King

CT and Ty quickly started the match going after Harbinger, using their combined forces to get him out of the ring before they turned to each other. The two men locked up before King got control with a headlock takedown!

In the 2nd minute, Tyberius connected with a sheerdrop brainbuster on CT, going for the cover right after and picking up a two count! Around a minute later, King caught Harbinger with a gamengiri before he covered him, but only got a two count!

CT got on offense in the 4th minute, catching Ty with a German suplex before he quickly went for the pin, capturing a two count! Roessler kept on the attack a minute later, hitting Harbinger with a lariat that dropped him before he covered the monster, only to get a two count! In the 6th minute, the RISE wrestler performed Misdirection on the former SSWA champion and went for the cover, but only managed a two count for his troubles!

Harbinger finally unleashed some offense around a minute following that, flooring CT with a big boot before he went for the pin, getting a two count! The monster then caught Tyberius with a fireman’s carry slam in the 8th minute, attempting another pin, but only getting a two count again! A minute after that, the behemoth grabbed both Ty and CT and planted them with a chokeslam for each! He covered them both, but they both powered out at two!

CT turned the tide in the 10th minute, using all of his strength to lift Harbinger up before planting him with a samoan driver! But then Ty caught him with a half nelson suplex, sending him rolling out of the ring! King then grabbed Harbinger and locked in a triangle choke, forcing him to fade out, causing the ref to call for the bell to end the match!

Post-match, Emilio made his way out onto the entrance ramp and mockingly applauded Tyberius, only for Jinzai to catch Ty with a Jinzai Cutter from behind! Vialpando joined Jinzai in the ring afterwards and the two put the boots to King before Dom Harter and Annie Zellor raced down to the ring and chased Em and Jinzai off! The two then checked on Tyberius as they looked back at Emilio and Jinzai.

WINNER: Tyberius King (10:11)

The show cuts backstage to a locker room, where Tyberius King is sitting down on a bench. He’s still dressed in his ring attire with an ice pack being held to his head after that attack by Jinzai earlier in the night. And he’s currently being flanked by the members of The Tenacious Wrecking Crew, Annie Zellor and Dom Harter.

✦TYBERIUS KING: Thanks again, I owe you one.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: We got your back, Jack, bitches be crazy.

Both men just look at her for a moment, obviously unimpressed by the Big Bang Theory reference. After a couple of seconds of silence Annie just rolls her eyes and tuts under her breath.

✦TYBERIUS KING: I wonder if UE is starting to get nervous? I think they know we can do them some damage.

✦DOM HARTER: That, or they’re just assholes.

Another pause.

✦TYBERIUS KING: ...also a possibility. But I appreciate it, I really do. You never know how hard they could have went if no one was there to stop them.

✦DOM HARTER: Don’t mention it. We just can’t be letting Jinzai and Emilio run around here thinking they can do what they want, when they want. Just because they’ve got the belts.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: Especially now Ty has a shot at Emilio’s Bloodlust title.

She pipes up, nudging the new #1 contender to the Bloodlust title with an elbow. King, for his part, just laughs to himself at the realization that he’s finally back in title contention here in HKW. The smile not leaving his face as he speaks again.

✦TYBERIUS KING: I’ll be ready for him by Fall of Tyrants.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: You know…

Annie starts, pausing for a moment as she looks to Dom before turning back to King.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: ...you don’t have to go in alone. We’re here for backup if you want it, to make sure Upper Echelon don’t get up to any funny business or anything.

✦DOM HARTER: Do we?

He sounds shocked, but Tyberius just laughs as he stands back up and removes the ice pack from off his head. He winces in pain for a moment, still feeling the effects of Jinzai’s attack, before speaking.

✦TYBERIUS KING: Thanks and I mean it, but I need to do this one alone. If I’m going to become Bloodlust Champion I want to do it on my terms. No bull...you know.

He motions to Annie, who appreciates his niceties in censoring the word ‘bullshit’.

✦TYBERIUS KING: Besides, you two have got other things to worry about. A match against the World champion tonight. Those World Tag Team titles.

✦DOM HARTER: We’re getting there. They can’t run forever.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: And I’m soooo ready for tonight. Gonna pop my bro, POW!

She feigns a right hook, nearly hitting Ty in the jaw if not for him diving backwards to avoid the punch.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: Right in the kisser!

✦TYBERIUS KING: Save that for Henny, I’ve been through enough for tonight.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: Okey dokey. Look, I gotta go and do some stuff before my match. You gonna be ok here?

✦TYBERIUS KING: I’ll be fine.

✦DOM HARTER: Good stuff. You need us? You know where we are.

With that, King sits back down on the bench as his visitors leave. He places the ice pack back on his head, and lets out an exasperated sigh. One thing's for sure, he’s not going to let Upper Echelon get away with what they did tonight.

MATCH TWO
SINGLES MATCH

Lamia vs Zack Jones

Lamia charged right at Zack and ate a superkick to start things off. Jones didn’t waste much more time from there, taking it to Lamia before putting her way with the Tilt-A-Whirl and the three count!

After the match, Lola J entered the ring and asked Zack if he had any idea what was next for him, but once again, Jones told her no. He also stated that he would prefer not to be pressed about this, saying that he needs time before he exited the ring and headed to the back.

WINNER: Zack Jones (1:45)

The show cuts backstage again, to where the members of the Tenacious Wrecking Crew are standing together. Zellor is just finishing her warm up ahead of her upcoming contest against HENNY, reaching down to touch her toes as Dom stands behind her. Obviously his gaze drifts downwards, and Harter nods in appreciation when there’s a knock at the door.

✦DOM HARTER: Come in.

He yells out as Eli Zayn walks into the room, and immediately covers his eyes.

✦ELI ZAYN: Whoa, you should warn peop–

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: Heyyy Eli!

Cautiously, Eli peers through the gap in his fingers to see that he may have been a bit presumptuous. He breathes a sigh of relief as he sees Annie and Dom both standing there fully clothed. Dom gives his girlfriend a quick kiss on the lips before saying.

✦DOM HARTER: I’ll leave you to it.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: Okey dokey.

Harter walks past Eli, slapping him on the shoulder as Dom chuckles to himself. The interviewer manages to regain his composure as he turns back to Annie; she’s standing there smiling sweetly, her hands on her hips

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: Sorry about him, you know how he gets.

✦ELI ZAYN: It’s ok. I, uh, I over reacted.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: You gotta know how to keep your cool, Eli. Like, just look at me; I’m gonna go up against the HKW World Champion in a couple of minutes and look at that hand–

Annie says, before holding out her steady hand.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: –cool as ice.

✦ELI ZAYN: Impressive, even after what happened earlier tonight you’re still staying calm? With that match against HENNY on the horizon.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: For the first time ever!

She exclaims in delight, giving the camera a wink and a quick thumbs up.

✦ELI ZAYN: Right, well, we’ll get to that in a second. But first, you and Dom making the save for Tyberius King earlier tonight–

Annie shrugs her shoulders as she interrupts Eli.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: He’s our friend. Upper Echelon were attacking him, what were we supposed to do? Me and Dom don’t wanna see Tyberius getting hurt, especially not now he’s got a Bloodlust title shot against Emilion coming up. And we deffo don’t wanna see Upper Echelon attacking people – it’s bad enough they’re out there holding the belts they screwed us outta at Burial Grounds, they’re not gonna screw anyone else. Not on our watch.

✦ELI ZAYN: Right. Well, up next you’re going one on one with the HKW World Champion, HENNY – for the first time ever!

His enthusiasm earns Eli an elbow nudge and nod of acknowledgment from Annie before she giggles behind a raised hand.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: And that’s the thing, Eli. I’ve spent most of my career going up against legends and former champs. And I’ve won some, and I’ve lost some. But I’ve never backed down. Not once. So if they wanna put me up against a legend like HENNY, and the HKW World Champion, and one of my favorite people in the whole world, my bro. Then I’m not gonna back down, not even an inch.

Annie shakes her head.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: ‘Cause this is the sorta match I’ve been building towards since I came back to HKW last year. Through the battles with Onyx, Aries, and Upper Echelon. I’ve been, like, working towards the moment I get the chance to prove myself against the World champion. And I’m not gonna waste it. Nahhh. And I hope Jinzai and Emilio are watching what happens next, ‘cause they’re gonna find themselves on the receiving end of it sooner rather than later, and they’re gonna get popped POW!

She feigns a right hook at the camera.

✦ANNIE ZELLOR: Right in the kisser!

With that, Annie pulls a #grrface for the camera, complete with the devil horns as she walks away, leaving Eli alone in the locker room as the show cuts elsewhere.

MATCH THREE
SINGLES MATCH

Annie Zellor vs HENNY

The match started off with the two competitors locking up before they each managed to get the upper hand early. Henny started things off by hitting a hip toss and quickly backed into a corner, taunting his “little sister”. But then she caught him with a hurricanrana when he charged at her, allowing her to mimic him earlier and getting a pop from the audience!

Annie officially took complete control in the 2nd minute, hitting a springboard crossbody before she went for the cover and got a two count! A minute later, Zellor connected with a facebreaker DDT before she quickly went for the cover and picked up a two count again! In the 4th minute, Annie performed a slingshot corkscrew neckbreaker and attempted the pin, but the World champ kicked out!

Around a minute after that, Henny took control, catching Zellor with a belly to belly suplex before he went for the pin and picked up a two count! The Canadian continued on his attack in the 6th minute, performing a snapmare and following it up with a dropkick to the head before going for the cover and getting another two count! Henny then connected with a facebuster and immediately attempted the pin afterwards, getting another two count! In the 8th minute, the man formerly known as Christian Kane hit a lionsault and made the cover one more time, but the result was the same; a two count!

Annie fought back a minute following that, catching Henny with a sitout jawbreaker that gave her enough breathing room to continue her attack! Zellor connected with a step up enzuigiri in the 10th minute and attempted another pin, but only managed to capture a two count! The Tenacious Wrecking Crew member kept going as a minute later, she performed a wheelbarrow bulldog and raced over to make the cover, only for Henny to kickout at two! In the 12th minute, she caught the Canadian with All That Glitters (satellite DDT)! Annie went for the pin, but was unable to get more than a two count!

Around a minute after that, Zellor tried to go for a springboard, but ended up springboarding right into Shot Through The Heart (superkick)! Henny went for the cover, getting the three count and the victory!

After the match, Henny celebrated with his title before looking around for Kai, not wanting to be jumped as he quickly raced to the back afterwards. Cameras then caught Kai watching from the rafters, a scowl on his face.

WINNER: HENNY (13:31)

We go backstage to where Lola J is front and center in the usual interviewing area, as the crowd inside of the Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, Tennessee do give her a rather warm welcome in the process.

✦LOLA J: Ladies and gentlemen, joining me at this time...Leander Apollo.

The cheers get louder as the camera pans left, showing Leander Apollo standing there for the world to see, already donning his wrestling gear for the night with a crimson red alternate home Cincinnati Gunners jersey covering his upper body, the words “Kagami” and the number “10” in the back.

✦LOLA J: While you’re one of the more...quiet members of the locker room, if you will, tonight is a considerably big night for you as you take on the current HKW Bloodlust Champion, one-half of the HKW World Tag Team Champions and of course, a member of the Upper Echelon in “El Serpiente” Emilio Vialpando.

Automatic booing occurs, because Upper Echelon membership normally means the crowd gets the business from them and they don’t like it one bit, no sir.

✦LOLA J: What are your thoughts going into this match tonight, given that you’ve already defeated one of the Upper Echelon members in Tony Carmine?

Lola brings the microphone over to Leander Apollo, who stares at it, arms crossed and with a stern look appearing on his face as he remains silent...letting that silence almost become eerie as Lola blinks, expecting something, anything, in fact.

✦LOLA J: Leander, there has to be something going through your mi-

That was the cue for Leander Apollo to bring the microphone right back in his direction, his eyes staring right at the camera lens.

✦LEANDER APOLLO: ...You know why I’m here, Upper Echelon. I’ll do my talking in the ring, Emilio Vialpando.

Letting go of the microphone, Leander Apollo simply walks away from the camera shot, leaving one Lola J confused and yet, the message has been sent.

Somewhere within the backstage area, RISE Tag Team champions Si and Lo Savea are seen walking out from the office of Romeo Price. Both brothers have folders in their hands and big smiles on their faces as they move through the hall and peek inside their folders.

✦LO SAVEA: I told you, fam. I told you we’d get these big boy deals once we won the RISE tag straps. The mainstream side of this bizz don’t care bout tag teams these days so when they see a good one? They sign em up on the spot. RISE been had a bunch of different good tag teams come out and we the latest ones.

Lo, wearing a Reptar tank-top and black skinny jeans, slaps Si in the arm and gets his attention.

✦LO SAVEA: What you gone buy first, Si? I’m gone get me the biggest Reptar imaginable. Some Blu-rays. A new V. Some new pajama pants.

Si, wearing a plain black tank-top and khaki colored skinny jeans, stops mid-step and reaches into his pants pocket to get grab his phone. He stares at the screens and releases a grunt.

✦SI SAVEA: A new phone that don’t have GPS on it because these hos is stalkin’ me.

Si stares up at Lo and begins stepping backward.

✦SI SAVEA: I gotta go outside quick, uce. Homegirl followed me to Knoxville. You comin?

Picking up his pace, Si begins to turn his heel and but continues to wait for an answer from Lo.

✦LO SAVEA: Hell naw. You handle that. I’m gone find J tell um I can finally pay back them loans.

Si nods his head and turns around before he sprints down the hallway. Lo couldn’t resist holding back his laughter, turning down the hallway to make his way toward the locker room wing.

✦LO SAVEA: Gone get me a new gold chain. Some Lays dill pickle chips. Some fine art even though I don’t understand that shit. A new bed for my cat Shinx. Some---

Suddenly, Lo bumps straight into the chest of a man who appears two times his size. The camera pans back to reveal that the man is none other than Pento of the Slaves of Sami. Lo stares at him with wide-eyes, looking ready to fight until he’s blindsided by Mason Astor! The two pummel away on Lo with clubbing blows to back, dropping him to the floor to put the boots to him. In the background, you can hear someone whistling the tune of “Firing Squad” by J. Cole (the theme song of The Sav Bros) as the Slaves of Sami continue to beat down Lo Savea.

Finally, Mason and Pento pull Lo up to his feet, each of them holding one of his arms tightly as the whistling gets closer and closer. Once it finally ends, another figure steps into the picture, the camera panning back to reveal Boaz Kennedy Astor.

✦BOAZ KENNEDY ASTOR: What a shame this is…

Boaz shakes his head and he steps closer to Lo and pats him on the head.

✦BOAZ KENNEDY ASTOR: You were always my favorite of the two brothers. I was hoping it’d be the other one that we found…

Boaz continues to pat Lo on the head, Lo doing everything he can to try and break free but it just wasn’t working.

✦BOAZ KENNEDY ASTOR: But I suppose you will have to do.

Backing away, Boaz takes in a deep breath and lets it out as he leans his back against the nearby wall.

✦BOAZ KENNEDY ASTOR: Do you know what true power is, Loto? It has nothing to do with how strong you are or how much you can max bench. I would go as far as to say that it has nothing to do with physical ability whatsoever. No…

Boaz pushes himself up from the wall and gets directly into Lo’s face.

✦BOAZ KENNEDY ASTOR: True power is all about...control. Control of your surroundings, as you see here with you in the position your in.

Boaz flashes an almost deranged grin.

✦BOAZ KENNEDY ASTOR: And control of the mind, as you see every single time your dear uncle mentions my name or finds himself in some sort of spat with me. No matter how many tables I go through and no matter how many beatings I take...I have the control, Loto. I’m the one who’s moving all the pieces on this chessboard. But do you know what saddens me, Loto?

Boaz pulls back a bit, standing upright as he crosses his arms.

✦BOAZ KENNEDY ASTOR: Your uncle somehow has managed to control both you and your brother and you two are too idiotic to see it. You both could have been so much more here on Defiance. You could have been the team that dethroned the mighty Upper Echelon, but, instead...here you are. Paying for the misdeeds of another.

Boaz shrugs nonchalantly.

✦BOAZ KENNEDY ASTOR: As a former RISE Tag Team ChampS myself, I know just how hard it is to take the road that you two have taken to get here whilst people like Jason - who couldn’t hold a candle to either of you two in the ring - somehow receive main roster deals without all the trials and all the tribulations. I suppose that’s just because...he’s perfect, correct?

Boaz chuckles, looking at Mason for a brief moment and nodding his head. He turns his attention back to Lo and begins backing away.

✦BOAZ KENNEDY ASTOR: Understand that I truly didn’t want this to happen, Loto. Not to you, at least…

The second Boaz finishes his final sentence, both members of the Slaves of Sami begin beating the holy hell out of Lo Savea! Lo manages to fight back, raking the eyes of Pento and headbutting the hell out of Mason, but Boaz steps in and nearly decapitates him with a discus elbow strike straight to the temple! Remaining unusually calm, Boaz runs his fingers through his hair and points at the hallway wall.

✦BOAZ KENNEDY ASTOR: Put him in position. I don’t want to make this last longer than it has to.

Nodding their heads, Pento and Mason drag Lo’s body toward the end of the hallway and position him in a way where his head is the only thing leaning back against it. Boaz follows the three down hallway but turns in the opposite direction to wheel a pure metal equipment crate in the direction of Lo. Boaz pushes forward, stopping once he’s about ten feet away from the RISE Tag Team champion.

✦BOAZ KENNEDY ASTOR: I’m sorry, friend. This shouldn’t have been you…

Not a second later, Boaz charges full speed and drives the crate directly into the head of Lo Savea! The cameras pick up Lo’s body going limp, blood slowly dripping down onto the concrete floor as Boaz keeps his hands on the crate and looks over it to view the scene.

✦BOAZ KENNEDY ASTOR: My…

Boaz backs away, looking directly at the camera team with a grin.

✦BOAZ KENNEDY ASTOR: I don’t believe that’s a scene the network would allow to show.

Pento hands Boaz his jacket and the trio start gradually walking down the hall without a care in the world.

✦BOAZ KENNEDY ASTOR: You should really call someone for help…

Boaz glances back at the camera team and shoots them a wink before he turns around and continues his steady pace down the hall.

SINGLES MATCH

Emilio Vialpando vs Leander Apollo

Leander Apollo shot right out of his corner when the bell rang, nearly knocking Emilio out with a running European uppercut! He quickly went for the cover, but only got a two count!

In the 2nd minute, Apollo continued on the attack, hitting a series of rolling german suplexes before covering his opponent again, picking up another two count! A minute after that, the former PDW Cyber champion caught Vialpando with a capture suplex and covered him again, but got yet another two count! Leander then hit the current World Tag Team champion with a running lariat that turned him inside out in the 4th minute before attempting another pin, capturing one more two count!

Emilio fired back a minute later, rocking Leander with a high knee strike before going for the pin, getting a two count! In the 6th minute, Vialpando planted Apollo with a tornado DDT and raced over to make the cover once more, only for the well liked wrestler to power out at two! A minute following that, the World Tag Team champion and Bloodlust champion planted his foe with a blue thunder bomb, but the cover afterwards only lead to a two count! Emilio then continued to reach into his bag of tricks and performed a lionsault in the 8th minute, hooking both legs for the pin, but only capturing a two count for his troubles!

Apollo took control of the match back a minute later, flooring Vialpando with a yakuza kick before he attempted the pin, picking up a two count! In the 10th minute, the multiple time tag team champion grabbed the snake of Upper Echelon and hit an exploder suplex that sent the former HKW World champ into the turnbuckles! He then dragged Emilio out of the corner and covered him, but only got a two count! Leander followed that up with a reverse DDT around a minute after that, covering him for another two count! Apollo then really had the audience roaring once he hit Meteor Hammer (Fireman’s carry into European uppercut) in the 12th minute, laying Vialpando out! He went for the pin, but Vialpando powered out at two!

It looked like Leander was calling for the end of the match a minute following that, but Tony Capone and Jinzai quickly pulled Emilio out of the ring and backpedaled up the ramp, forcing the ref to count Emilio out!

Leander looked absolutely annoyed that the match had ended in a countout and seemed to be even more annoyed when Jinzai was telling him that he wasn’t worth their time.

WINNER via countout: Leander Apollo (13:23)

As the camera cuts to backstage, the familiar HKW and Defiance logos are displayed upon a big screen, with Defiance interviewer and RISE commentator, Eli Zayn, standing in front of it in a smart grey business suit and a wide, professional smile upon his face.

✦ELI ZAYN: Good evening ladies and gentleman, I’m Eli Zayn and I’m here today with the Dynasty Champion, Jackie Fowler, ahead of his very first Dynasty Open Challenge title defence in the main event here in Knoxville.

The man he was about to interview did an electric slid into view, dressed in his powder blue ring gear and string vest, accompanied by a Manchester City tracksuit top and a flat cap upon his head.

✦JACKIE FOWLER: Jackie Fowler, M.B.E.

He stated, cockily correcting the interviewer by mentioning the title bestowed upon him by the British Royal Family in the New Year’s honours list.

✦ELI ZAYN: Sorry, Jackie Fowler, M.B.E.

Fowler nods with a smile, raising a single finger in objection to what Eli introduced him as.

✦JACKIE FOWLER: Nah it’s Jackson Lorenzo Fowler, M.B.E.

✦ELI ZAYN: Yes, of course, my apologies. Jackson Lorenzo Fowler, M.B.E.

Fowler grinned after being reintroduced once more, but he has a cheeky little grin upon his face, looking mischievous as he raises his hand in objection once more, tapping his title upon his shoulder.

✦JACKIE FOWLER: That’s Jackson Lorenzo Fowler, M.B.E., bloody hell he has a massive todger, wouldn’t mind getting my mouth around that meat.

Zayn shakes his head, and shockingly goes right into the new introduction.

✦ELI ZAYN: Jackson Lorenzo Fowler, M.B.E., bloody hell he has a massive todg--HEY!

Fowler spits out in his broad, Northern laughter, fully cracking up that Zayn very almost repeated his request word for word. Eli was clearly embarrassed that he almost said it all, but shook his head as he tried to regain his composure and deliver his interview.

✦JACKIE FOWLER: Haha!

✦ELI ZAYN: Now, Jackie… Tonight is quite the unusual circumstance for a title defence, as you have willingly opted to have an open challenge for your belt. You could literally be facing anyone from the four brands, or even possibly an outside competitor. How do you possibly prepare for the unknown?

✦JACKIE FOWLER: How the fuck am I supposed to know?

Zayn was startled by Jackie’s bluntness, not quite sure what to say as Jackie shrugs his shoulders with his response.

✦ELI ZAYN: Erm… well...er...

✦JACKIE FOWLER: Look, Eli. You may only weigh seventeen pounds according to your HKW bio, but you should know that I did this so I didn’t have the advantage. I don’t have a bloody clue who could be stepping out there tonight. It could be a former champion like Zellor, it could be one of the blue guys like Tommy Evans or JZ Crowns, it could be one of the promising names of RISE like Zola Star or Gio. Hell, Bobby B. Ballbag might send one of his UG stooges in the Daughters of Janus, Eileen Amaro or any of the rest of his roster that actually don’t listen to his bullshit and bow down to it. It legit could be anyone. Could be a highflyer, a powerhouse, a four hundred pound behemoth in a giant shitty nappy. But none of that matters.

Fowler spits upon the floor, patting his championship belt once more with pride, steely determination in his eyes.

✦JACKIE FOWLER: I want competition, I want to be challenged. And after a year of dealing with the surprises of the Reapers and UE, and still standing tall after all they have done… a surprise opponent tonight is right up my alley. So it don’t matter who I face, but I tell you one thing for free, I want the very best to come out there tonight. I want to face the best, fight the best, beat the best. I wanna prove that I am the champion deserving of this belt, and to do that I have to beat all comers. So all comers should come…

He then looked Eli up and down, shaking his head in disgust.

✦JACKIE FOWLER: That sounds rude as fuck. You’re such a pervert, Eli…

Fowler laughed again, patting the shocked Eli on the back forcefully, leaving the interviewer red faced as he disappeared from view.

Spoiler: click to toggle

Felix stops to think and grins.

✦FELIX VIALPANDO: As a matter of fact…

Felix pulls out his own phone and searches his contacts for a number and nods to himself as he clicks on a contacts name and begins to call them. As the phone rings he waves off Tristan.

✦FELIX VIALPANDO: Go, go! What are you waiting for!

Tristan nods and turns to head to Romeo Price’s office as the scene begins to fade.

✦FELIX VIALPANDO: CELESTE!!! Si...Oh..Well tell CJ I’m sorry but this is important.

Jason Jackson is seen wandering around backstage when we come back from commercial, and just a few seconds later he spots one of the tandem he’d been searching for.

The camera settles on Si, who appears to be stepping back inside quickly through an exterior door. The lone twin locks the door behind him and peeks through the window as if he’s hiding from someone on the other side. Jason uses this opportunity to sneak up behind him and grab his nephew by the shoulders to startle him.

✦SI SAVEA: AHHHHH THIS HO CAN TELEPOR--

He quickly realises it’s Jason and that a camera is watching, so he smooths out his shirt and sighs… trying to play it off like he hadn’t just screamed like a little ho.

✦SI SAVEA: Oh… it’s just you. Damn you almost made a nigga catch a heart attack uce. Where’s Lo?

Jason arches an eyebrow and takes a step back, giving Si a confused look.

✦JASON JACKSON: What do you mean, “Where is Lo?” He’s usually with you. I was coming to see if you’d seen him. He sent me a text talking about paying me back some money or some shit.

Si shakes his head and turns to look at his uncle, almost instantly the same worried look is etched across both of their faces. The last time Si had seen his brother, he was headed to find Jason. If the two had never linked up then… where was Lo?

✦SI SAVEA: He said he was going to find you. I don’t like this. I’m getting this spidey sense type thing uce.. Twintuition… Something is wrong.

As soon as Jase sees the look on Si’s face, he turns and begins jogging down the hallway without another word. Si keeps pace, the two of them calling out for Lo as they search the rooms along the way, making their way back toward where the two had initially split up.

Moments later, they reach the now crowded hallway and begin to push through the various members of the roster that are gathered around the scene. Paramedics work on securing a neck brace on the downed twin, and they lift him onto a stretcher just as the Samoans muscle their way through the crowd and finally catch sight of what’s going on.

Si bolts toward the stretcher but a burly security guard steps in front of him and puts a hand on his chest.

✦SI SAVEA: THAT’S MY BROTHER BRUH! MOVE THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY!

✦SECURITY GUARD: Just remain calm Mr. Savea. I know that’s your brother. Let them do their job so they can help him.

Si tries to push past again, but the man shoves him back into Jason… who immediately steps around his nephew to size the man up.

✦JASON JACKSON: Move. That’s the last time. It’s not gonna get any nicer.

The guy chuckles a bit and shakes his head at Jason, putting his hand up to shove him away as well. As soon as his palm touches Jason’s chest, the MMA champion cocks back and hits him with a motherfucker of a right cross that drops the man on the spot. Si doesn’t waste any time, and he vaults over the man before he even hits the floor to run to his brother’s side.

✦SI SAVEA: I’m here yo… I’m here. Who did this bro?

✦PARAMEDIC: He needs to just relax right now. We’ll have the police come in and--

✦JASON JACKSON: Fuck the police. We’ll handle this… Si, Go ahead to the hospital with him and keep me updated. I’m gonna go find this motherfucker. I know exactly who did this…

Jason turns to leave, and everyone clears a path quickly as the samoan makes a beeline down the hallway with the camera in tow. He begins kicking in doors one by one; First catering, then the trainer’s room, then finally Boaz/SOS’ locker room. But it’s useless.

Nothing. Nada. No sign of him.

Letting out a roar, Jason slams the door so hard that it breaks off one of the hinges. It swings lopsidedly for a moment, then falls to the ground with a crash about the same time Jason slumps against the wall to bury his face in his hands.

This was his fault. All of it.

But he would make it right…

After Jackie Fowler had made his entrance, he asked who was willing to step up before tossing the mic away. The audience began booing as “I Been On (Opera Instrumental)” by Beyonce began to blare throughout the arena.

ASHA ASTOR then made her way out from the back, Mason in tow. She entered the ring and motioned around her waist as she stared at Fowler, who nodded his head as he began warming up and waited for the match to start.

JACKIE'S OPEN CHALLENGE | HKW DYNASTY CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

Asha Astor vs Jackie Fowler ©

The two locked up to start the match before Jackie took Asha down with a hip toss. However, before he could do anything else, Mason tried to distract Jackie, giving Asha enough time to clip the right knee of Jackie and give her control of the match!

Astor kept on the attack in the 2nd minute, hitting a jumping DDT before she went for the cover and got a two count! Around a minute later, Asha hit a standing moonsault and attempted another pin, but only got a two count again!

In the 4th minute, the Dynasty champion got momentum on his side, flooring his challenger with a spinning backfist before he went for the cover and picked up a two count! A minute following that, Fowler hit a soccer kick and covered Astor again, only for the young woman to power out! Jackie then performed a stinger splash in the 6th minute, attempting another pin and getting the same result as the last one; a two count!

Mason once again came into play a minute after that, swiping at Jackie’s feet as the ref wasn’t looking. This forced Jackie’s attention on him, allowing Asha to spin him around and plant him with a facebuster! She went for the cover and got a two count! In the 8th minute, Astor hit a leg drop and made the cover again, but got another two count! Around a minute following that, the former HKW Cyber champion performed a headscissors DDT and covered the current HKW Dynasty champion, picking up a two count once more!

But the Brit was not going to just lay there and take a beating as he fought back in the 10th minute, absolutely knocking some spit out of his challenger with a roaring elbow! He covered her, but only got a two count! A minute later, Fowler hit trapping headbutts before letting Astor fall to the mat as he went for the cover afterwards, getting another two count! In the 12th minute, Jackie connected with a diving fist drop and covered Asha again, but she powered out at two!

Asha got control back a minute after that, Mason distracting the ref long enough for her to rake the eyes of Jackie, then catch him with a running crossbody! The ref turned around and watched Asha make the pin attempt before he counted the pin, only to get to a two count! Astor then hit a swinging neckbreaker in the 14th minute and quickly covered Fowler, but only capture a two count for her troubles! Around a minute following that, the challenger caught the champion with a moonsault stomp and raced over to cover the champ, only to manage a two count once again, frustrating her!

In the 16th minute, Mason began searching for a weapon underneath the ring before pulling out a chair....only for LYZA REYES to come in out of nowhere and dropkick the chair into Mason’s face, laying him out! Asha looked at Lyza in shock, giving Jackie an opening as he headbutted Asha, then proceeded to hit the Lancaster Bomber! He covered her, getting the three count and another defense underneath his belt!

Jackie got handed back his title and he celebrated with it as the audience cheered before he looked at the nearest camera and asked “who’s next”. He then left the ring and nodded to Lyza as a thank you for taking out Mason, getting a nod back from her. Once Jackie headed to the back, Lyza slid into the ring and went top rope! The audience roared loudly as she then leaped off and hit Pura Vida (shooting star press) on Asha!

The show came to a close with Reyes getting to her feet and staring at the downed Astor, getting her payback for the attack that occurred the Defiance before.

WINNER and STILL CHAMPION: Jackie Fowler (16:57)
