[Admin]

Live from the sold-out Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana
Thursday Night June 17th, 2021
8:00pm EST

[ The shows opens with the Titantron showing the Empires new promo video package with all the new stars of the Empire like Alexander Stone, the Lynch Mob, the Zombie Bride Su Yim and many, many more with their high risk, high impact moves to the music of "Till I Collapse" by Eminem blasting across the arena in unison with the pyrotechnics lighting the place up. The entire arena erupts in a chorus of cheers as the show comes on air. The music and pyro's stop as the cameras fade down to our broadcast table as Mike Godwinn and “The Living Legend” Pezzer are standing by. ]

Mike Godwinn - Good evening folks and welcome to another amazing night of action right here in the World Wrestling Empire!! I am Mike Godwinn and I am joined by my broadcast colleague, and self-proclaimed Living Legend… Pezzer, and this is another star studded Afterburn!!!

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – That’s right Mikey, we’ve got seven matches and two of them are for world titles and I for one can’t wait to see the Guerillas of Destiny try and reclaim the World Tag Team titles!!!

Mike Godwinn – That’s right. After what happened to the Guerillas at Civil War, Shane McMahon signed this rematch and put the tag titles on the line in what I believe was just to stick it to Salena and the Nation.

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I couldn’t disagree more with you Mikey. Look what Shane did for Shanna last week when they asked for their rematch against and he granted it for tonight.

Mike Godwinn – That’s where we differ, I guess. But yes, Shane did sign another rematch for tonight and it is for Maria Manic’s Women’s National championship in which she defeated Shanna at Queen of the Ring to capture her first championship here in the Empire. It should be a great match. In other matches, we will see Funny Bones take on the leader of the Triad Boris Drago… the Woke Queens continue to look for their first victory here in the Empire as they take on the Women’s World Tag Team champions, Medusa Complex.

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Both Funny Bones and Boris Drago nearly have identical win and loss records but the biggest thing setting them apart is the fact that the Triad will be watching Boris’ back tonight. That makes it a huge uphill battle for Funny Bones. As far as the match between Medusa Complex and the Woke Queens go, I don’t want to waste a ton of time on what should be a squash match. Medusa Complex is coming off such a high at Queen of the Ring I doubt the Woke Queens will stand much of a chance.

Mike Godwinn – In a match that could have big pay per view implications, we will see Tank Edge back in action since his Hell in a Cell match at Day of Reckoning against Alexander Stone take on the tag team duo of Los Vipers.

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – This does have massive pay per view implications Mikey. If Tank wins, he moves on to face Mil Muertes. If he loses, he loses his United States title shot at Red, White and Bruised.

Mike Godwinn – It’s going to be tough enough that it’s going to be a handicap match, but you have to know that the entire Cartel will be ringside for this match. Tank will have his hands full tonight. Let’s talk about our huge main event where Chandler Hopkins is slated to face Go-D who challenged Hopkins to this match.

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I’ve known Go-D for years and he’s not screwing around here. He put Legacy together to prove that guys like Crazy Man, Tank, Messiah and many others built this place and they still have what it takes to be at the top of the game. This match with Hopkins is not just a match to prove to everyone that he deserves to be in the main event, but to prove to himself that he’s still got it.

Mike Godwinn – Folks, we have all those matches but we start off with women’s action as Thunder Rosa takes on Malia Hosaka.

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Thunder Rosa is coming off an ass kicking at Queen of the Ring where her former tag team partner Holidead and her Cartel teammates beat the ever-loving hell out of her. It’s a match that she will surely not forget for a long time.

Mike Godwinn – Thunder Rosa is a top star here in the Empire and tonight she has a chance to get back on her winning ways but Malia Hosaka is a tough draw. She’s got the backing of her Exile girls and Thunder Rosa better have eyes in the back of her head in this match!!! Let’s get right to the action!!!

Thunder Rosa vs Malia Hosaka

“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making her way to the ring, being accompanied by Exile; and weighing in at 130 lbs., she is… Malia Hosaka!!!

[ The crowd boos their asses off as “Head like a hole” by Nine Inch Nails plays. Malia Hosaka and her girls walk down to the ring and they all climb in. ]

Mike Godwinn – Malia is escorted down to the ring by her girls Exile. Over the last few weeks, we have seen a definite division between Malia and Exodus and it even got to the point where Malia hit her with a steel chair last week that cost Exile their match against S.E.X.!!!

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – No family is perfect, but it looks like they have mended the fences and are getting along now. Good for them.

Mike Godwinn – It’s been a few weeks since we watched Thunder Rosa lose to Holidead at Queen of the Ring and she’s looking to be in pretty good shape. Both women need this win tonight as they climb the rankings and look ahead to possible title shots.

[ Thunder Rosa whips Malia Hosaka into the ropes and Malia Hosaka hits Thunder Rosa with a springboard bulldog. Malia Hosaka nails Thunder Rosa with a top rope twisting moonsault as Todd Sinclair counts …1 …2 …and Thunder Rosa kicks out!!! ]

Time of match: 0:09:17

“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match, Thunder Rosa!!!

[ Genesis rolls into the ring checking on Malia as she watches Exodus march back up the rampway with the steel chair still in hand. ]

Mike Godwinn – Thunder Rosa earned a huge win tonight, but we have to address the bigger issue and that’s the division between Exodus and Malia!!!

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I look at Exodus like a moody teenage girl that doesn’t want to listen to her parents. Very defiant and disrespectful if you ask me. She should be grateful for what Malia has done for her, getting her into the Empire; not turning on her!!!

Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, let’s take it to the back where our very own Courtney Cox is standing by with the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Medusa Complex. ]

[ The videotron comes on as it shows Courtney Cox standing between Millie McKenzie and Charli Evans. ]

Courtney “Loves” Cox – Ladies, first off what a night it was for both of you at Queen of the Ring as you not only retained your Women’s World Tag Team titles, but you Millie; became the first ever Queen of the Ring by outlasting nineteen other women to claim that coveted Women’s World title shot!!!

“The Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – It was an amazing night not just for us, but for all the women on the Empires roster. The women in the back have busted their asses just as much as the men have and to be given our own pay per view to showcase that was incredible.

Courtney “Loves” Cox – On Adrenaline, the Women’s World Champion Amber Nova called you out and just about demanded you to sign the match for Red, White and Bruised; but you told her no choosing instead to wait for Diamonds are Forever to cash your title shot in.

“The Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – Yeah, I could have easily cashed it in and took the very first shot at her, but I want this match to be special. To mean something not just to the Empire but for me also. Listen, this is my first Women’s World title shot and I don’t know if I’ll ever get another one so I’m going to take the time to soak it in and focus on our Women’s World Tag Team titles.

Courtney “Loves” Cox - Charli, speaking on your Women’s World Tag Team titles, we all watched at Queen of the Ring when the Canadian Ninjas came down to the ring and attacked Caged Heat seemingly helping the two of you secure a victory. But it wasn’t over there, when on Adrenaline just a few nights ago; Caged Heat used a steel crowbar on Nicole Matthews knee taking the young woman out.

Charli Evans – Let’s get something straight Courtney, the Ninjas never came out to help us. They came down to help themselves out. They are pissed that Caged Heat continues to get title shot after title shot and the Ninjas keep getting passed by. They saw their shot and they took it. Unfortunately, Caged Heat isn’t afraid to take underhanded tactics to eliminate the competition.

Courtney “Loves” Cox – Ladies, tonight you take on the Woke Queens who are still looking for their first win here in the Empire. How dangerous is a team like the Woke Queens?

Charli Evans – Listen, we hit our speed bump when we lost to S.E.X. and Exile in back-to-back matches. That’s in the past. Tonight, we make a statement to the rest of the Women’s division that you’re not only messing with the Women’s World Tag Team Champions, but you’re messing with the Queen of the Ring!!!

Courtney “Loves” Cox – Guys, back to you.

[ The show swings back to Mike and Pezzer ringside. ]

Mike Godwinn – Listening to Charli Evans and Millie McKenzie tonight you can feel the confidence in both of them as they go into their tag team match tonight.

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I hope they don’t take the Woke Queens lightly. The most dangerous opponents are the ones that have nothing to lose!!!

Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for our next featured match of the evening and it pits Funny Bones versus the leader of the Triad Boris Drago. Let’s go back to the ring for more great action.

Mike Godwinn – Guys, speaking of retaliation; Courtney Cox is standing by with Exodus. Let’s head to the back. ]

[ The videotron comes on as it shows Courtney Cox standing next to one half of Exile, Exodus. ]

Courtney “Loves” Cox – Exodus, we all watched at Queen of the Ring when you entered the battle royal and it seemed to have angered your leader of Exile, Malia Hosaka even to the point where she asked you to eliminate yourself. You outright refused to do as asked and last week on Afterburn, she attacked you with a steel chair costing you and Genesis your match with S.E.X.!!!

Exodus – Let’s get something perfectly clear. Malia taught us everything about this business. But when Shane asked me to stand in for Gabby how could I say no? Because it was going to piss off Malia? That was about a Women’s World title shot!!! Something we all dream of!!! How come her dreams mean more than mine do?

Courtney “Loves” Cox – Tonight, you came out to the ring with Malia and Genesis and all seemed well until you attacked Malia with a steel chair.

Exodus – They say, an eye for an eye; but I like to think it’s a chair for a chair!!!

[ Suddenly, Genesis walks onto the set looking pissed off. ]

Genesis – What’s wrong with you? You’re ruining everything we’ve worked for!!! Are you crazy?

Exodus – What’s wrong with me? Can’t you see that she’s using us? All she cares about is herself and her own career!!! We’re no better than puppets being led around on strings!!!

[ Then Malia Hosaka storms onto the set armed with her own steel chair, screaming at both girls as security floods the area trying to hold Exodus and Malia apart!!! ]

[ The show swings back to Godwinn and Pezzer ringside. ]

Mike Godwinn – What an explosive situation we have Pezzer amongst the Women’s division as we are watching Exile implode right in-front of our eyes!!!

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I really thought that Malia had her girls in line tonight before the match, but Exodus waited for her moment to strike and like she said, it’s an eye for an eye or better yet a chair for a chair!!!

Mike Godwinn – Folks, we are staying right with the women’s division as the Women’s World Tag Team Champions take on the winless Woke Queens. Let’s get back to the ring for more great action here in the Empire!!!

Mike Godwinn – The Woke Queens come into this match at the bottom of the standings Pezzer with a winless record and no place to go but up.

[ “Living Dead Girl” by Rob Zombie rocks the arena as the fans cheer on the very popular Medusa Complex. The two women make their way to the ring and climb in showing off their Women’s World Tag Team titles!!! ]

Mike Godwinn – Let’s step back and look at Medusa Complex since they were beaten by Twisted SisterZ at Eve of Destruction. Do you realize that they have yet to win a match? Even at Queen of the Ring that match was tossed out when the Canadian Ninjas interfered in the match!!!

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Medusa Complex has had a horrible month to say the least and if there was ever a match to get them back on track it would be this match tonight. But like we both have said, they cannot take the Woke Queens lightly. They are a very dangerous and hungry team right now.

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The bigger question is who’s going to challenge Amber Nova and then ask me where the rest of the pieces fall. To me, the top two choices are Solo Darling and Gabby Jetson. I would love to see either or both of them challenge for the titles at the pay per view.

For the World tag Team titles

Mike Godwinn – The Guerillas held the World Tag Team titles for eighty-four days before losing the titles to the Chain Gang at Eve of Destruction. G.O.D. has been chasing the Chain Gang ever since even winning a rematch against them at Civil War even though it was by disqualification.

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – In my opinion, the Chain Gang have been doing their damndest to dodge the Guerillas every chance they get. They don’t want this match because they know that the Guerillas can beat their asses.

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring being accompanied by their manager Salena, weighing in at a combined weight of 494 lbs.; Jake Owens and Eddie O’Shay; they are the reigning World Tag Team Champions, they are… the Chain Gang!!!

Mike Godwinn – I think Salena needs this win tonight as much as the Chain Gang does. She calls herself the Manager of Champions, but so far only one of her clients have titles and after tonight; none of them may have any.

Time of match: 0:00:47

“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match by disqualification, the Guerillas of Destiny!!!

Mike Godwinn – Another spoiled title shot for the Guerillas and this time it came at the hands of the Lynch Mob.

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – These two teams think they are the Alpha’s of the tag team division and the Chain Gang are just paper champs. I can’t wait to see how all this plays out.

Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, during the match our cameras caught up with Charli Evans and Millie McKenzie backstage. Let’s go back and take a look.

[ The videotron comes on as it shows Charli Evans getting treatment by the Empires doctors after taking the Wake-up Call by the Woke Queens. A concerned Millie McKenzie walks into the room and walks right up to Charli. ]

“The Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – Charli… Charli how are you doing?

[ Charli sounds pissed as she doesn’t even look at Millie. ]

Charli Evans – Where were you?

“The Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – What do you mean? You saw what happened. You know that Amber came out…

Charli Evans – She never left the stage Millie. I was being double teamed out there and all you gave a shit about was Amber Nova!!!

“The Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – You know that’s not true. I thought that…

Charli Evans – Do you even care that we haven’t won a match since Day of Reckoning? That’s two and a half months Millie!!! This isn’t funny anymore!!! We’ve lost to the bottom feeders of the Empire. Tonight, against Woke Queens, that was just the icing on the cake for Christ’s sake. We need to pull our shit together and if you mean what you said on Adrenaline, you need to put this Queen of the Ring crap aside and focus on us!!!

“The Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – I am focusing on us!!! I never asked her to walk out on stage. I thought that she was…

[ Charli puts her hand in the air stopping her partner. ]

Charli Evans – Just promise me that from now on it’s going to be about us and you can have your little title match at Diamonds are Forever.

“The Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – Yeah, yeah ok. It’s about us.

[ Charli walks away leaving Millie standing there alone. ]

“The Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – Little title match?

[ The show cuts back to Pezzer and Godwinn at the broadcast table. ]

Mike Godwinn – We have already scene the Exiles implode tonight and I’ve got the feeling that if things keep going the way it appears we may be seeing the end of Medusa Complex as well.

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Let’s not jump to conclusions Mikey. Medusa Complex are going through a rough patch, but the difference between the Exiles and Medusa Complex is that Charli and Millie are the Women’s World Tag Team Champions. Big difference partner. They are going to be fine.

Mike Godwinn – Folks, up next is our huge handicap tag team match where Tank has to face Los Vipers. If Tank wins, he moves on to face Mil Muertes and if he wins that match, he will then move on to face Tito Escobar at red, White and Bruised!!! Let’s go back to the ring for this huge match.

Tank Edge vs Los Vipers

“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following handicap match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit.

[ The videotron comes on as it shows Courtney Cox alongside Alexander Stone, the two time Women’s World Champion Amber Nova and the Guerillas of Destiny. ]

Courtney “Loves” Cox – Guys, it’s been a long time since we have seen the four of you all together on the same show let alone together for an interview. Amber, I’ll start with you. At Queen of the Ring, you defeated Bloody Mary in a rematch for the Women’s World title. Later in the night, Millie McKenzie shocked the world by winning the Queen of the Ring battle royal. Looking back at Queen of the Ring, what are your thoughts?

The two-time Women’s Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – My thoughts? I think that Queen of the Ring was a perfect night for me and that I went out and did everything I said I was going to do and that’s beat Bloody Mary yet again.

Courtney “Loves” Cox – And what about Millie winning the Queen of the Ring battle royal?

The two-time Women’s Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Listen, she drew a great number and sometimes that’s all it takes to win matches like that. As far as her challenging me for my title, listen sweetie; I don’t care if she challenges me tonight or six months from now. The results are going to be the same. I am the greatest Women’s Champion the Empire has ever seen and there isn’t a damn thing Millie can do to stop me.

Courtney “Loves” Cox – So why did you walk out on stage tonight during her match?

The two-time Women’s Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – I wanted to get a up close and personal look at my new number one contender. Nothing wrong with that right?

Courtney “Loves” Cox – I guess not, even though it may have cost them the match.

[ Courtney turns to the Guerillas of Destiny. ]

Tanga Loa – Our thoughts? Let me tell you what I think!!! I think those two southern swamp rats are asking to get their asses kicked!!! They wanna step up in our faces? They want to come into our yard and attack us? Boys, you just signed your death warrants!!!

Tama Tanga – Lynch Mob, you boys need to learn your place… and that’s behind us!!! We want our titles back and if that means that we have to go through you two fucks, you be damn sure we’re gonna bury your asses.

[ Courtney turns to the leader of the Gold Standard Alexander Stone. ]

Courtney “Loves” Cox – Alex, at Civil War we all watched as Prophet again beat you for the World Heavyweight title, with a little help I may add.

“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – He’s a sneaky son of a bitch I’ll give him that. But let me say this. He can run and hide behind his followers all he wants, but someday real soon he will have to face me again and next time I’ll be ready for him.

Courtney “Loves” Cox – On Adrenaline we all watched as you defeated arguably the largest wrestler on the roster in Bulk. Short of wrestling for the World title, where do you go from here?

“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Where-ever the road takes me Courtney. You see, it doesn’t matter who DDP, Shane or Mark line up for me it’s all going to end the same damn way; with me victorious!!! There’s only one logical conclusion to all this madness that Prophet is dishing out and that’s for me to take back what belongs to me!!!

Courtney “Loves” Cox – Guys, back to you.

[ The show swings back to Pezzer and Godwinn at ringside. ]

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Stone and the Guerillas are all in a position they are not used to being in and that the hunter and not the hunted. It’s a big difference when you’re at the top of the mountain looking down instead of being in the middle of the pack looking up!!!

Mike Godwinn – This is going to be good!!! What a prelude to Red, White and Bruised!!!

[ Hopkins, not liking the numbers game; rolls out of the ring and grabs a steel chair and rolls back in the ring. He stands shoulder to shoulder with Go-D as the crowd goes wild!!! Prophet looks at Hopkins and then at Go-D and then closes his eyes and smiles as Hopkins shocks the entire world by blasting Go-D in the head with the steel chair dropping him to the mat in a bloody heap!!! ]

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – What the hell is going on? I can’t believe what I’m seeing right now!!! Hopkins just turned on Go-D!!! Has he sided with Prophet?

[ Hopkins kneels down in-front of Prophet, his arms out wide with his book in hand and his World Heavyweight title around his waist. Prophet smiles and nods at Hopkins who takes the steel chair and puts Go-D’s leg through it. Prophet asks for a mic and is handed one. ]

The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – I warned you Dave!!! I told you that you would never make it too Red, White and Bruised; didn’t I? But you refused to listen to me!!! You refused to listen to the Prophecy and heed its words!!! Now you must pay the ultimate sacrifice!!!

[ Prophet nods at Hopkins again and he mercilessly stomps on the chair smashing Go-D’s leg!!! ]

Mike Godwinn – Oh my God, he could have broken Go-D’s leg!!! He could have snapped the damn thing in half!!!

[ Prophet reaches down and dips his finger in Go-D’s blood and then makes the sign of the cross with it on Hopkins’ forehead as fans litter the ring with trash!!! The show goes off the air as Prophet, Hopkins, Insanity and Painkiller stand in the ring as a unified force. ]
