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.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Good evening boys and girls. Man, what a show we have in store for tonight. We’ve got two huge number one Contendership matches that have massive title implications just three nights away from Red, White and Bruised!!!
Mike Godwinn – That’s right Pezzer. We are going to see the Lynch Mob take on the Guerillas of Destiny in tag team action with the winner moving on to the pay per view to take on the reigning champions the Chain Gang!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – These two teams are not strangers to one another and they both can taste gold and are hungry for it.
Mike Godwinn – In another massive match we are going to see Tank Edge taking on “The Man of a Thousand Deaths” Mil Muertes!!! If Tank can find a way to defeat Mil Muertes, then will have earned himself a United States title shot at the pay per view against the reigning champion Tito Escobar!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Tito has been disrespectful not just to this entire roster, but to Tank more directly as he has rubbed Tank’s post Empire career in Japan and especially Mexico in his face.
Mike Godwinn – Tank is a proud man and he had a hell of a career after the Empire folded twelve years ago. He can’t wait to get his hands on the United States Heavyweight champion!!! In other action tonight, we are going to see Legacy in action, as Messiah and Crazy Man in tag team action as they take on the Hooligans and in the main event the leader of Legacy, Go-D takes on Arik Cannon in singles action!!!

We will see it at the pay per view in three nights as Go-D takes on Prophet for the World Heavyweight championship. As far as Messiah and Crazy Man go, if they keep up their winning ways, they will quickly be in title contention for the World Tag titles!!!
Mike Godwinn – And let’s not forget that we will be seeing the Women’s World champion in action tonight as Amber Nova takes on Su Yim. Both women have huge matches set for Red, White and Bruised coming up.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I can’t wait for the pay per view. Amber Nova is putting her title on the line against a red-hot Gabby Jetson and Su Yim and Solo darling will collide in the Empires first Buried Alive match!!! The pay per view card is insane Mikey!!!

The Two-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Su who? What is she ranked? Last? Next to last at best? This is a joke!!!

[ Amber storms off the set as the show swings back to Mike and Pezzer. ]
Mike Godwinn – As always, Amber Nova is a very egotistical...

[ The referee refuses to start the match until the remaining Cartel members leave the ringside area. They refuse until the CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon walks out on stage. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Tito!!! Hey Tito!!! Apparently, the Cartel didn’t get the memo. The Cartel was banned from ringside for this match!!! Now, we can do these one of two ways. We can do it the easy way, and you walk to the back. Or... or we can do it the hard way and I’ll have the Cartel escorted from the building!!!

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I’ve seen guys like him for years and they all have pretty good careers, but not many of them are champions because this is called “Wrestling”, not “Brawling”.

[ Love him or hate him, the crowd does love his entrance music as “I’m shipping up to Boston” by Dropkick Murphy’s rings across the stadium as the red headed Irish fighter marches down to the ring pissed off with his hands all taped up.

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.

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I’ve seen guys like him for years and they all have pretty good careers, but not many of them are champions because this is called “Wrestling”, not “Brawling”.
