Live from the sold-out Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama
Thursday Night July 8th, 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. Buddy, I have to tell you, Red, White and Bruised has to rank right up there as one of the very best pay per views we have put on since the Empire reopened!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – We’ve had some big shows, but Red, White and Bruised was right at the top with some of the best. I have to give Mark and his staff that are running the company huge props. They are doing everything they can to put on the best show night in and night out!!! I can’t wait to see what else they have up their sleeves as we close out the summer.
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, let’s talk about some of the highlights of the show where we crowned not just one but three new champions. Let’s start off with raven Horse as he dropped his Television title to newcomer...
[ Just as if on cue, the former W.W.E. Television champion Raven Horse storms out on stage with his manager Reverend Azazel power walking behind him down to the ring. ]
[ Raven Horse climbs into the ring and demands a mic in which JoJo hands him one. ]
The former W.W.E. Television champion Raven Horse – Let’s just cut all the bullshit and get right to the point!!! At Red, White and Bruised I was robbed of my title and Psycho Messiah you know it... and all these morons know it... and that asshole Shane McMahon knows it!!!
[ The crowd boos Raven Horse for just mentioning Shane. ]
The former W.W.E. Television champion Raven Horse – Cry me a river you bunch of mindless sheep!!! He’s screwed me over and don’t think for a second that he won’t screw all of you too!!!
[ The boos get louder and louder. ]
The former W.W.E. Television champion Raven Horse – You think I care what you all think? You can all kiss my ass!!! Shane!!! Shane, I know you hiding back there!!! Get your ass out here and face me like a man, you little bitch!!!
[ The crowd waits for Shane to come out, but instead STIXX walks out on stage with mic in hand. ]
[ Raven Horse shakes his head in disgust as he looks up the rampway at the masked man. ]
The former W.W.E. Television champion Raven Horse – You have got to be shitting me. Hey STIXX, maybe you’re lost; but the adults are talking!!!
STIXX – You’re a funny guy, former champ; but what’s even funnier is the fact that you’re no longer in top contention for the title. Hell, you’re not in top contention for any title!!! In-fact, when I saw the rankings come out, I just had to come out here and rub it in your face!!!
The former W.W.E. Television champion Raven Horse – You think this is funny? You think this is some kind of God damn joke? Well, the jokes on you because I’m enacting my rematch clause for tonight and...
[ The crowd pops as “Big Mike” Bulk walks out on stage and stops a few feet from STIXX. ]
[ Raven Horse is extremely frustrated as he sees the big man standing there looking down the ramp at him. ]
The former W.W.E. Television champion Raven Horse – Big boy, Burger King is down the road...
“Big Mike” Bulk – Shut your damn mouth before I come down there and bust your teeth in!!!
The former W.W.E. Television champion Raven Horse – Let me guess, you’re out here to tell me that you’re next in line for a title shot?
“Big Mike” Bulk – Damn straight!!!
The former W.W.E. Television champion Raven Horse – Well you can all just piss right off because I’ve got a rematch clause and I intend on cashing it in...
[ And for the third time, Raven Horse is interrupted as the new W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah walks out on stage with his TV title draped over his shoulder. ]
The new W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah – You all just need to shut the hell up and stop demanding title shots!!! Nobody is going to get a title shot until I’m ready to give it!!!
The former W.W.E. Television champion Raven Horse – Is that a fact? Maybe you forgot, but we signed a contract!!! I get my rematch...
The new W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah – You’ll get your rematch when I’m damn good and ready to give it to you!!!
[ Bulk steps toward Psycho Messiah, who turns to face off with the big man. ]
The new W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah – Take one more step and I’ll drop you on your ass!!!
[ Bulk stops a few feet away and glares at Psycho Messiah. ]
“Big Mike” Bulk – The big board says I’m the number one contender!!! Screw Tonto, I want my shot at the belt!!!
The former W.W.E. Television Champion Raven Horse – Screw you. I put your ass to sleep at Civil War, or did you think you were dreaming?
[ Bulk whips his head toward the ring... ]
“Big Mike” Bulk – Open your mouth one more time and I’m going to come to...
[ The crowd erupts as Shane McMahon walks out on stage with mic in hand. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Are you through?
The former W.W.E. Television Champion Raven Horse – Screw these guys!!! Shane, you fucked me over at the pay per view and I want my rematch!!!
“Big Mike” Bulk – Piss off!!! I’m at the top of the list now and I want my title shot!!!
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – I screwed you over? After all the crap you and your manager have pulled, you blame me for what happened to you? You need to get your head examined!!!
STIXX – You’re all talking like I’m not even standing here!!! Screw Bulk!!! I agree with Raven Horse. You lost your shot!!! I should be the number one contender!!!
The new W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah – You? Who exactly are you again?
[ STIXX marches right up to Psycho Messiah and gets right in his face. ]
STIXX – I’m going to show you who I am when I beat your ass and take that belt from you!!!
[ Again, the crowd pops as Kahagas walks out on stage with a mic in hand and gets right up in Shane’s face. ]
“The Tokyo Monster” Kahagas - Watashi wa nanakagetsu-kan o shiri o tsubushite kimashita!!! Sono taitoru shotto wa watashi no monodesu!!!
[ Nobody says a word as none of them understands Japanese. Finally Shane has had enough of this madness and takes charge. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – That’s enough!!! This is what we are going to do. Bulk, tonight you face Kahagas in a TV title eliminator match. STIXX, Monday night on Adrenaline you will face Aric Cannon also in a TV title eliminator match. The two men that win will move on to Summer Stampede to face Raven Horse and Psycho Messiah in a Fatal Four-way for the TV title!!!
[ The show swings back to Mike and Pezzer at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn – Quick thinking by the CEO put this issue to bed as there now will be two TV title eliminator matches. Tonight, Bulk will face Kahagas and Monday night on Adrenaline, Aric Cannon will face STIXX with the two winners moving on to Summer Stampede to join Raven Horse and Psycho Messiah in a Fatal Four-way match!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Everyone wants a shot at the TV title, but in order to get it these guys are going to have to earn it by winning an eliminator match. Talk about stacking the odds. Psycho Messiah can’t be happy about this.
Mike Godwinn – So, besides that big eliminator match between Kahagas and Bulk, we also have two tag teams making their debuts tonight. First, we will see Shinigami Shogun and Rasputin Ito aptly named Yomi-no-Kuni. These two Japanese superstars are best known for their exploits in New Japan Pro, but they are here on the behest of the United States Champion Tank Edge!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – These guys are going to put the tag team division on notice. I’m sure they are not here just to watch Tank’s back. They want to add the World Tag Team title belts to their collection!!!
Mike Godwinn - The other debuting team we were actually introduced to back at Red, White and Bruised and they are the Heartbreakers comprised of Nattie Neidhart, Shotzi Blackheart and Indy Hartwell.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – These three women have been in contract negotiations for weeks and they finally signed a six-month contract. Between them and the reformed Bloody Mary/Havok team it should bring a well needed boost to a depleted Women’s Tag Team Division.
Mike Godwinn – In other action, Thunder Rosa continues her singles run as she takes on Amber O’Neil. The Lynch Mob still have their sights set on the World Tag Team titles, but so doesn’t their opponents tonight as they clash headlong against Legacy!!! Steve Scott will be back in action as he goes up against the “Man of a Thousand Deaths” Mil Muertes. Holidead will be in action as she takes on the leader of Exile Malia Hosaka. And in tonight’s main event, Alexander Stone takes on “Madman” Marc Fulton!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – We’ve got a stacked show and it serves Mark right for burying us on the God damn pre-show at the pay per view!!!
Mike Godwinn – You do know that we are hosting Summer Stampede, right?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Of course I know that. But I like hold grudges. For a long time at that.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, our opening match of the night features the Koloff Dynasty taking on Yomi-no-Kuni minus their leader Boris Drago who suffered another leg injury back at Red, White and Bruised when Travis Blake used debris from a wooden table to wrap around his leg and wrench the tendons in his knee in directions they shouldn’t go.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Rumors are that he’s going to miss about a month and a half so the Koloff Dynasty need to figure out their shit without him because he’s not coming back any time soon!!!
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, it’s time for our opening match. Let’s join JoJo in the ring for the introductions!!!
Yomi-no-Kuni vs The Koloff Dynasty
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following tag team match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making their way to the ring first, weighing in at a combined weight of 472 lbs.; Neal and Aleksandre Koloff; they are the Koloff Dynasty!!
[ The Russian National anthem plays as the sold out crowd boos and the two large Russian’s march down to the ring proudly waving their Russian flags. ]
Mike Godwinn – The Koloff Dynasty come into this match with a pathetic oh and four record and tonight doesn’t get any easier for them as they go up against a very formidable team.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – If these two ass-hats are going to win tonight they are going to have to think outside the box and do the unexpected.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring, being accompanied by the United States Heavyweight Champion Tank Edge and weighing in at a combined weight of 480 lbs., Shinigami Shogun and Rasputin Ito, they are… Yomi-no-Kuni!!!
[ The crowd goes crazy as “Tubular Bells” by Mike Oldfield rocks the arena and the two Japanese superstars make their way down to the ring followed by the legend Tank who has his new United States Heavyweight title around his waist and his Gauntlet of the Gods on his right hand. ]
Mike Godwinn – We first met these two men a few nights ago when they came out to the ring to help Tank dispatch Los Vipers. I’m sure that there’s a long backstory between these three men!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Let’s face it. Tank has been wrestling around the world for years. Here in the Empire, we like to believe that Tank was all ours and ours alone, but to be perfectly honest, we all had careers before and after the Empire. Some places I would like to forget, but others were pretty nice.

The United States Heavyweight Champion “The Monster” Tank Edge – Tran, huh? Figures. I always knew he was your bitch!!! (Tank gets right up in Go-D’s face) And as far as you and your little Legacy team, this was never about us. This was always about you and your ego!!! You don’t really care about the Empire. All you ever cared about was winning the World title and shoving it down Mark’s throat!!!
[ Go-D smiles at Tank. ]
The Leader of Legacy Go-D – You think that you got this all figured out, don’t you? Big bad Tank playing true crime detective!!! Well let me clue you in big boy.

This is my Empire!!! My world!!! My Prophecy!!! And you are all just playing in my sandbox!!!
The Leader of Legacy Go-D – You’re just lucky your little bitch boy was out there to save your ass because I was about to end you!!!
[ Prophet laughs as he holds his book tighter. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah and the Chosen One” Prophet – You are such a fool David!!! The Prophecy has been written and nowhere in it does it talk about you or your little gang of thieves!!! I am the Messiah!!! I am the Chosen One!!! I am the only man that can bring the Empire into the future!!! I am the only one that can bring a new age of wrestling to the Empire!!! I am...
[ The crowd erupts as Shane McMahon walks out on stage with mic in hand. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Prophet!!! Excuse me, if I may.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah and the Chosen One” Prophet – The dark angel himself!!! The demon who created our most hated rival... the W.W.C.F.!!!
[ The crowd cheers on Shane. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Now I’ve been called a lot of things in my career, but I don’t think that dark angel or demon were ever on the list. But that’s besides the point. Now I have known all these men for a long damn time, and you; well, I’ve known you for like five minutes and I still don’t like you.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah and the Chosen One” Prophet – Curse you demon spawn!!!
[ Shane smiles at him. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – I hate to admit, I’m going to enjoy this a little too much. You see champ...
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah and the Chosen One” Prophet – Prophet!!!
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Whatever. I saw what you and your rhinestone cowboy over there did to Go-D and it was pretty shitty. Your broke back boytoy cost Go-D the World title and that doesn’t sit well with me.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah and the Chosen One” Prophet – You’ll get over it.
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Oh, I’m sure I will. In-fact, I just had an epiphany. Next week on Adrenaline, in the main event; it’s going to be Go-D and Tank teaming up to take on you and Hopkins!!!
[ The sold out crowd gives Shane a standing ovation!!! ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – And if they beat you, Go-D will get his rematch at Summer Stampede!!!
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah and the Chosen One” Prophet – That is unfair!!! What do we get if we win?
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – I tell you what. If your team wins, then Hopkins will get a United States title shot at Summer Stampede. Fair?
[ Hopkins steps up and takes the mic from Prophet. ]
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – You’re on!!! Tank, keep that belt warm cause I’m coming for it!!!
[ The crowd goes nuts as the show swings back to Mike and Pezzer at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – What a huge match Shane just signed for Adrenaline!!! Tank and Go-D will team up to take on the World Champion Prophet and his partner Chandler Hopkins!!! If Go-D’s team wins, he gets a World title shot at the next pay per view!!! If Prophet’s team wins, then Hopkins will challenge Tank for the United States Heavyweight title at the next pay per view!!! What a main event!!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Shane has had a crazy busy night so far.

Mike Godwinn – Big Mike Bulk is hungry for another shot at the TV title after tapping out to Raven Horse not that long ago.

Mike Godwinn – Folks, let’s go to the back as our very own Courtney Cox is standing by with Malia Hosaka and Genesis. ]
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Courtney Cox standing next to Malia Hosaka as Genesis paces around behind them looking pretty pissed off. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Malia, ever since Queen of the Ring we have seen a very different side of Exodus as she has attacked either you or Genesis week after week. How do you explain you protégé’s actions and do you plan on trying to mend fences with her?
Malia Hosaka – Explain her actions? Exodus is a thankless human being. Thankless for what I have done for her personally and thankless for what I have done for her career. And as far as mending fences go, she will have to come crawling back to me on her hands and knees in order for me to even consider it.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Some people that I have talked to in the locker room have said that you have actually held Exodus and Genesis back and more importantly have used them for your own personal and professional advancement. Is there any truth to those accusations?
Malia Hosaka – Listen to me when I tell you that what I have done for each of my girls were for the greater good of our team... the Exiles!!! Exodus has forgotten what it means to be a part of something great. But she will learn, even if I have to beat it back into her!!!
Courtney “Loves” Cox – So, are you challenging Exodus to a match?
[ Genesis steps between Malia and Courtney. ]
Genesis – I’m sorry, but I can’t just sit back and keep my mouth shut. Exodus, you weren’t only my tag team partner; we were best friends!!! Sisters!!! But you got greedy!!! You wanted more!!! You think you’re better than us... me!!! We could have been Women’s World Tag Team Champions, but you went and ruined it all!!! You want a piece of Malia... well you have to go through me first!!!
[ Genesis storms off the set as Malia smiles at Courtney. The show flashes back to Mike and Pezzer at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn – It seems that Exodus has gotten under the skin of both Malia and Genesis.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – That’s an understatement. And if it’s a fight she’s looking for it’s a fight she’s got as Genesis just called her out. I wonder if she will accept?
Mike Godwinn – Folks, we are about to see the debut of another brand-new tag team and this one is in the women’s division. Just a few nights ago the Heartbreakers debuted and were rudely interrupted by the Woke Queens who challenged the Heartbreakers to this match. I can’t wait to see the Heartbreakers in action.

Mike Godwinn – Four nights ago at Red, White and Bruised the Woke Queens stepped up and challenged the new team on the block. With the way things have gone for the Woke Queens since coming into the Empire, I’m not sure this was a very smart move.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The Woke Queens come into this match with only one win and have been plagued by a list of not very smart moves. This match is either going to make or break this team tonight.

[ The crowd goes crazy as “New Foundation” by explodes across the arena as Indy, Shotzi and Nattie strut out on stage. They high five each other and walk down the rampway each climbing into the ring. Nattie and Indy each pose on a turnbuckle while Shotzi straddles the ropes between them. ]
Mike Godwinn – And here is the hottest free agent signings since Psycho Messiah!!! These three women have signed a sixth month contract and hell bent on making their mark here in the Empire!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – These women were pursued by the staff for weeks and they finally signed the dotted line coming into the Empire with one goal. Winning the Women’s Tag Team titles!!! What makes them even more formidable, is the fact that they can wrestle under the “Freebirds Rule” where any combination of the three women can wrestle at any time.

Reverend Azazel – Auspicious? That’s a pretty big word for you Courtney. I hope you didn’t hurt yourself trying to use it. The rules of the game was simple. It was to put your opponent in the grave and bury her. It never said what you had to use to bury her with. It never said we had to use dirt to bury her.

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – With this win tonight it will put her in title contention for the Women’s National title. What a match that would be if we were to see Maria Manic defend her title against Thunder Rosa at the next pay per view.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, at Red, White and Bruised; Travis Blake won his big I Quit match against Boris Drago. Travis is standing by with Courtney Cox. Let’s listen in.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Courtney Cox standing next to Travis Blake. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Travis, at the pay per view you defeated Boris Drago in a brutal “I Quit” match that saw you use a piece of a busted table as a weapon to make him tap out. Word has it that he will be out of action for at least two months. Your thoughts on the match?
"The Clown Prince of Pro-Wrestling" Travis Blake – My thoughts? Here are my thoughts. It sucks to be him!!! Maybe two months sitting at home, on his ass; watching Springer reruns will change his attitude. Either way, I’m done with him and I’m done with the Koloff ass-clowns.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – So, what’s next for the Clown Prince?
"The Clown Prince of Pro-Wrestling" Travis Blake – What’s next? I’ll tell you and all the boys in the back what’s next. I’ve been here for months now and I’ve only gotten one title shot. That shits about to change. I woke up Monday morning and I saw that I’m ranked third in the World title rankings. Third, Courtney!!! Tank, Psycho Messiah, Prophet; you are all on notice!!! I’m coming for gold and there aint a damn thing you can do to stop me!!!
[ Just then, Salena walks onto set followed by the World Tag Team Champions the Chain Gang with their titles around their waists. ]
“The Manager of Champions” Salena – So you wan to be a champion? As you can see, I am the manager of champions!!!
[ She reaches into her bra and pulls out a business card and hands it to Travis. ]
“The Manager of Champions” Salena – You want to be a champion... I can make you a champion. Give me a call.
[ Salena and the Chain Gang walk off the set as Travis smells the card and can smell the perfume on it and he smiles. The show swings back to Mike and Pezzer at the announcers desk. ]
Mike Godwinn – It seems that Salena is interested in bringing Travis into her fold. This young man is one of the hottest rising stars in the Empire and Salena sees that and she also sees an opportunity to make money if she can get him to sign with her. I wonder what Travis is going to do?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – If he was smart, he would stay a lone wolf and keep all his earnings for himself. I’m sure this kid will do the right thing.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for our next match as we get to see the rising star Steve Scott take on the man of a Thousand Deaths Mil Muertes. Both men find themselves in contention for the United States Heavyweight title and the winner will find himself that much closer. Let’s go back to the ring as JoJo Rodriguez is ready to introduce the participants!!!

Mike Godwinn – The big man comes into this match with a one and one record, losing his last match to the now United States Heavyweight Champion Tank Edge. Tonight, he looks to get back to his winning ways as he faces Steve Scott.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Mil Muertes is a hired gun for Tito Escobar. Don’t think for a second that if Mil Muertes gets in Tito’s way he won’t take the big man out. The Cartel is all about promoting Tito. End of story.

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I’ve seen that look before on other men and it’s the look of a man that has evil intentions!!!
Mike Godwinn – Talking about someone that has evil intentions, we all watched as Shanna Furguson was screwed out of the Women’s National title by the new Women’s World tag Team champions, Caged Heat. Let’s join Courtney Cox backstage as she is with Shanna. ]
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Courtney Cox standing next to Shanna Furguson. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Shanna, at the pay per view you won your match, but failed to bring home the Women’s National title as the newly crowned Women’s World Tag Team Champions Caged Heat attacked you and disqualified Maria Manic.
“The Beast” Shanna Furguson – Winning the match at the pay per view don’t mean shit unless you bring home the gold. I didn’t bring home the gold because those two bitches attacked me!!! They stuck their nose into my business. They cost me the match!!! Now they are going to feel my wraith!!! Salena wants to target me? Her black ass is going to pay too!!!
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Shanna, the odds are squarely stacked against you if you take on Caged Heat. Are you sure this is a good idea?
[ Shanna smiles as the Women’s National Champion Maria Manic walks onto the set. ]
The Women’s National Champion “The Maneater” Maria Manic – The odds against us now?
[ Shanna and Maria walk off the set as the show goes back to Mike and Pezzer at the announcer’s table. ]

Mike Godwinn – Malia comes into this match with a two and four record and she sits in the number two spot for the Women’s National title. A win tonight, she might propel her into a title shot at the next pay per view.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Let’s not get carried away Mikey. Holidead is one hell of a superstar and she’s not going to play dead for anyone. She has her own sights set on championship gold.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And her opponent. Making her way to the ring, being accompanied by Tito Escobar, Los Vipers and Mil Muertes; she weighs in at 188 lbs., this is… Holidead!!!

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – This doesn’t look good at all. When she came down on her right foot, her knee buckled and twisted. She may have just blown her knee out!!!
[ Malia Hosaka sees Holidead on the mat holding her knee crying in pain and she rolls her up as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...3!!! ]
Time of match: 0:02:54
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match, Malia Hosaka!!!
[ Malia rolls out of the ring as Tito, Los Vipers and Mil Muertes rush in to help Holidead!!! The referee makes the sign of the “X” signifying that she’s badly injured. EMT’s rush down to the ring to see to her. ]
Mike Godwinn – Oh boy, this doesn’t look good at all.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – If I were to guess she blew out an ACL. Man, this is bad news for the Women’s Division as they have already lost Su Yim and now it appears they are going to lose Holidead also.
Mike Godwinn – Guys, as the medics attend to Holidead; let’s join Courtney Cox backstage as she is with the former Women’s World Tag Team Champions Medusa Complex.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Courtney Cox standing beside Millie McKenzie and Charli Evans. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Ladies, at Red, White and Bruised you lost your Women’s World Tag Team titles to Caged Heat. In doing so, your record fell to six and five and now sit in the number two spot behind S.E.X. in the rankings. On a positive note, however; you still have your rematch with Caged Heat so it’s not all bad news.
“The Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – It’s common knowledge that we have been on a bit of a skid as of late. That since winning the tag titles we haven’t exactly have been at the top of our game. That’s all going to change. After we get our World Tag Team titles back, and we will get them back; we will go back to being the most dominant tag team in the division.
Charli Evans – And if we don’t?
[ Millie looks shocked that Charli said that. ]
“The Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – What? What do you mean?
Charli Evans – You and I both know that the odds are against us. Hell, I wouldn’t even bet on us!!!
“The Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – So what are you saying?
Charli Evans – What am I saying? I’m saying that if we lose this rematch, maybe it’s over for us.
[ Charli walks off the set leaving a stunned Millie standing there with her mouth wide open. The show goes back to Pezzer and Mike at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – Is Charli Evans saying what I think she’s saying? She’s willing to throw away everything they have been through?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – It sounds to me like she’s ready to give up on Medusa Complex if they lose their rematch and do not regain the Women’s World Tag Team titles!!! I would like to say I am shocked, but after all they have been through these past few months; I would be lying.
Mike Godwinn – I hope it doesn’t come to that, but they are facing an uphill battle not just against Caged Heat but also between themselves. It seems they have lost faith in each other!!! Keeping with tag team action, the Lynch Mob is slated to take on Legacy and it’s next. Let’s go back to the ring as JoJo Rodriguez is ready for tonight’s introductions!!!
The Lynch Mob vs Legacy
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following tag team match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making their way to the ring first weighing in at a combined weight of 433 lbs., Joey and Matt Lynch; they are… “The Lynch Mob”!!
[ A mixture of cheers and boos ring out as “War” by Lynch Mob explodes across the stadium as the two brawling brothers march out on stage. They high five each other and race down to the ring diving under the bottom ropes. ]
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, the Lynch Mob seems to be the bridesmaids of the Empire but never the bride as they seem to always be knocking on the door of a World Tag Team title shot, but never seems ever able to get it.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – It doesn’t help that the Guerillas are still ranked as the number one contender’s even though they lost at the pay per view. With ten wins, they are still three wins ahead of the next best team in the Lynch Mob.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring, being accompanied by Go-D and weighing in at a combined weight of 467 lbs., “The Messiah” Chris Simmons and “Crazy Man” Mike Thompson, they are… Legacy!!!
[ “Unforgiven” by Creed rocks the arena as Empire Hall of Famers Go-D, Crazy Man and the Messiah walk out on stage to the roar of the sold-out crowd!!! As one, they march down to the ring and climb in never taking their eyes off their opponents. ]
Mike Godwinn – These three men are hell bent on wearing gold again in the Empire and proving to the world that time hasn’t passed them by.

The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – All I can tell you right now is that she has been taken to a local hospital and as soon as we know more, we will let all of you know.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Earlier, we also saw that Genesis challenged Exodus to a match and if Exodus wins, she will earn her shot at Malia. Has that match been signed?

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I agree, it should be a great show; but why didn’t we get some of that action? I think Shane likes Adrenaline more!!!
Mike Godwinn – I don’t know if he likes Adrenaline more, or maybe he’s just trying to put the best card together no matter what show it is on. Folks, it’s time for tonight’s main event of the evening.

Thursday Night July 8th, 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. Buddy, I have to tell you, Red, White and Bruised has to rank right up there as one of the very best pay per views we have put on since the Empire reopened!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – We’ve had some big shows, but Red, White and Bruised was right at the top with some of the best. I have to give Mark and his staff that are running the company huge props. They are doing everything they can to put on the best show night in and night out!!! I can’t wait to see what else they have up their sleeves as we close out the summer.
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, let’s talk about some of the highlights of the show where we crowned not just one but three new champions. Let’s start off with raven Horse as he dropped his Television title to newcomer...
[ Just as if on cue, the former W.W.E. Television champion Raven Horse storms out on stage with his manager Reverend Azazel power walking behind him down to the ring. ]
[ Raven Horse climbs into the ring and demands a mic in which JoJo hands him one. ]
The former W.W.E. Television champion Raven Horse – Let’s just cut all the bullshit and get right to the point!!! At Red, White and Bruised I was robbed of my title and Psycho Messiah you know it... and all these morons know it... and that asshole Shane McMahon knows it!!!
[ The crowd boos Raven Horse for just mentioning Shane. ]
The former W.W.E. Television champion Raven Horse – Cry me a river you bunch of mindless sheep!!! He’s screwed me over and don’t think for a second that he won’t screw all of you too!!!
[ The boos get louder and louder. ]
The former W.W.E. Television champion Raven Horse – You think I care what you all think? You can all kiss my ass!!! Shane!!! Shane, I know you hiding back there!!! Get your ass out here and face me like a man, you little bitch!!!
[ The crowd waits for Shane to come out, but instead STIXX walks out on stage with mic in hand. ]
[ Raven Horse shakes his head in disgust as he looks up the rampway at the masked man. ]
The former W.W.E. Television champion Raven Horse – You have got to be shitting me. Hey STIXX, maybe you’re lost; but the adults are talking!!!
STIXX – You’re a funny guy, former champ; but what’s even funnier is the fact that you’re no longer in top contention for the title. Hell, you’re not in top contention for any title!!! In-fact, when I saw the rankings come out, I just had to come out here and rub it in your face!!!
The former W.W.E. Television champion Raven Horse – You think this is funny? You think this is some kind of God damn joke? Well, the jokes on you because I’m enacting my rematch clause for tonight and...
[ The crowd pops as “Big Mike” Bulk walks out on stage and stops a few feet from STIXX. ]
[ Raven Horse is extremely frustrated as he sees the big man standing there looking down the ramp at him. ]
The former W.W.E. Television champion Raven Horse – Big boy, Burger King is down the road...
“Big Mike” Bulk – Shut your damn mouth before I come down there and bust your teeth in!!!
The former W.W.E. Television champion Raven Horse – Let me guess, you’re out here to tell me that you’re next in line for a title shot?
“Big Mike” Bulk – Damn straight!!!
The former W.W.E. Television champion Raven Horse – Well you can all just piss right off because I’ve got a rematch clause and I intend on cashing it in...
[ And for the third time, Raven Horse is interrupted as the new W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah walks out on stage with his TV title draped over his shoulder. ]
The new W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah – You all just need to shut the hell up and stop demanding title shots!!! Nobody is going to get a title shot until I’m ready to give it!!!
The former W.W.E. Television champion Raven Horse – Is that a fact? Maybe you forgot, but we signed a contract!!! I get my rematch...
The new W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah – You’ll get your rematch when I’m damn good and ready to give it to you!!!
[ Bulk steps toward Psycho Messiah, who turns to face off with the big man. ]
The new W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah – Take one more step and I’ll drop you on your ass!!!
[ Bulk stops a few feet away and glares at Psycho Messiah. ]
“Big Mike” Bulk – The big board says I’m the number one contender!!! Screw Tonto, I want my shot at the belt!!!
The former W.W.E. Television Champion Raven Horse – Screw you. I put your ass to sleep at Civil War, or did you think you were dreaming?
[ Bulk whips his head toward the ring... ]
“Big Mike” Bulk – Open your mouth one more time and I’m going to come to...
[ The crowd erupts as Shane McMahon walks out on stage with mic in hand. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Are you through?
The former W.W.E. Television Champion Raven Horse – Screw these guys!!! Shane, you fucked me over at the pay per view and I want my rematch!!!
“Big Mike” Bulk – Piss off!!! I’m at the top of the list now and I want my title shot!!!
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – I screwed you over? After all the crap you and your manager have pulled, you blame me for what happened to you? You need to get your head examined!!!
STIXX – You’re all talking like I’m not even standing here!!! Screw Bulk!!! I agree with Raven Horse. You lost your shot!!! I should be the number one contender!!!
The new W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah – You? Who exactly are you again?
[ STIXX marches right up to Psycho Messiah and gets right in his face. ]
STIXX – I’m going to show you who I am when I beat your ass and take that belt from you!!!
[ Again, the crowd pops as Kahagas walks out on stage with a mic in hand and gets right up in Shane’s face. ]
“The Tokyo Monster” Kahagas - Watashi wa nanakagetsu-kan o shiri o tsubushite kimashita!!! Sono taitoru shotto wa watashi no monodesu!!!
[ Nobody says a word as none of them understands Japanese. Finally Shane has had enough of this madness and takes charge. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – That’s enough!!! This is what we are going to do. Bulk, tonight you face Kahagas in a TV title eliminator match. STIXX, Monday night on Adrenaline you will face Aric Cannon also in a TV title eliminator match. The two men that win will move on to Summer Stampede to face Raven Horse and Psycho Messiah in a Fatal Four-way for the TV title!!!
[ The show swings back to Mike and Pezzer at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn – Quick thinking by the CEO put this issue to bed as there now will be two TV title eliminator matches. Tonight, Bulk will face Kahagas and Monday night on Adrenaline, Aric Cannon will face STIXX with the two winners moving on to Summer Stampede to join Raven Horse and Psycho Messiah in a Fatal Four-way match!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Everyone wants a shot at the TV title, but in order to get it these guys are going to have to earn it by winning an eliminator match. Talk about stacking the odds. Psycho Messiah can’t be happy about this.
Mike Godwinn – So, besides that big eliminator match between Kahagas and Bulk, we also have two tag teams making their debuts tonight. First, we will see Shinigami Shogun and Rasputin Ito aptly named Yomi-no-Kuni. These two Japanese superstars are best known for their exploits in New Japan Pro, but they are here on the behest of the United States Champion Tank Edge!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – These guys are going to put the tag team division on notice. I’m sure they are not here just to watch Tank’s back. They want to add the World Tag Team title belts to their collection!!!
Mike Godwinn - The other debuting team we were actually introduced to back at Red, White and Bruised and they are the Heartbreakers comprised of Nattie Neidhart, Shotzi Blackheart and Indy Hartwell.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – These three women have been in contract negotiations for weeks and they finally signed a six-month contract. Between them and the reformed Bloody Mary/Havok team it should bring a well needed boost to a depleted Women’s Tag Team Division.
Mike Godwinn – In other action, Thunder Rosa continues her singles run as she takes on Amber O’Neil. The Lynch Mob still have their sights set on the World Tag Team titles, but so doesn’t their opponents tonight as they clash headlong against Legacy!!! Steve Scott will be back in action as he goes up against the “Man of a Thousand Deaths” Mil Muertes. Holidead will be in action as she takes on the leader of Exile Malia Hosaka. And in tonight’s main event, Alexander Stone takes on “Madman” Marc Fulton!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – We’ve got a stacked show and it serves Mark right for burying us on the God damn pre-show at the pay per view!!!
Mike Godwinn – You do know that we are hosting Summer Stampede, right?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Of course I know that. But I like hold grudges. For a long time at that.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, our opening match of the night features the Koloff Dynasty taking on Yomi-no-Kuni minus their leader Boris Drago who suffered another leg injury back at Red, White and Bruised when Travis Blake used debris from a wooden table to wrap around his leg and wrench the tendons in his knee in directions they shouldn’t go.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Rumors are that he’s going to miss about a month and a half so the Koloff Dynasty need to figure out their shit without him because he’s not coming back any time soon!!!
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, it’s time for our opening match. Let’s join JoJo in the ring for the introductions!!!
Yomi-no-Kuni vs The Koloff Dynasty
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following tag team match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making their way to the ring first, weighing in at a combined weight of 472 lbs.; Neal and Aleksandre Koloff; they are the Koloff Dynasty!!
[ The Russian National anthem plays as the sold out crowd boos and the two large Russian’s march down to the ring proudly waving their Russian flags. ]
Mike Godwinn – The Koloff Dynasty come into this match with a pathetic oh and four record and tonight doesn’t get any easier for them as they go up against a very formidable team.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – If these two ass-hats are going to win tonight they are going to have to think outside the box and do the unexpected.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring, being accompanied by the United States Heavyweight Champion Tank Edge and weighing in at a combined weight of 480 lbs., Shinigami Shogun and Rasputin Ito, they are… Yomi-no-Kuni!!!
[ The crowd goes crazy as “Tubular Bells” by Mike Oldfield rocks the arena and the two Japanese superstars make their way down to the ring followed by the legend Tank who has his new United States Heavyweight title around his waist and his Gauntlet of the Gods on his right hand. ]
Mike Godwinn – We first met these two men a few nights ago when they came out to the ring to help Tank dispatch Los Vipers. I’m sure that there’s a long backstory between these three men!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Let’s face it. Tank has been wrestling around the world for years. Here in the Empire, we like to believe that Tank was all ours and ours alone, but to be perfectly honest, we all had careers before and after the Empire. Some places I would like to forget, but others were pretty nice.

“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match, Yomi-no-Kuni!!!
Mike Godwinn – Well, it wasn’t exactly an easy win; but I’m sure they wouldn’t have it any other way as they make their big debut here in the Empire.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – These guys are going to make an immediate impact here in the Empire and I’m willing to bet that before long they will be challenging foe the World Tag Team titles!!!
[ Just then, the crowd goes nuts as Go-D, Crazy Man and Messiah walks out on stage. ]
[ Tank, Ito and Shogun watch as the three members of Legacy climb into the ring and an old style stand-off ensues. ]
Mike Godwinn – Go-D and Tank haven’t taken their eyes off of each other since they climbed into the ring!!!
[ Go-D raises the mic... ]
The Leader of Legacy Go-D – Look at you. Nice shiny gold belt. Your own gauntlet. It seems one of us walked out of Red, White and Bruised with what they wanted.
[ The crowd gives Tank a standing ovation. ]
The Leader of Legacy Go-D – But I have to ask you, G.O.A.T.; where were you when I was attacked by Chandler Hopkins in my match? Now I know where Crazy man and Messiah was. They were right by my side. But you... where were you again?
[ Tank motions for a mic and JoJo hands him one. ]
The United States Heavyweight Champion “The Monster” Tank Edge – Dave, we don’t need to do this right now. Now out here...
[ Go-D sticks his finger right in Tanks face. ]
The Leader of Legacy Go-D – No, I think this is the perfect place to settle this. In fact, the boys and I have been wondering for a while now where exactly your heart is?
[ Tank looks at him confused. ]
The United States Heavyweight Champion “The Monster” Tank Edge – My heart?
The Leader of Legacy Go-D – That’s right. I asked you a question and we want an answer.
The United States Heavyweight Champion “The Monster” Tank Edge – We?
The Leader of Legacy Go-D – That’s right. We!!! We came to you!!! We opened the door for you to come back to the Empire!!! We made you an offer to join Legacy!!! We swore to work with each other so that we can bring the world title back to Legacy!!!
[ Tank waves his hand in Go-D’s face. ]
The United States Heavyweight Champion “The Monster” Tank Edge – First off, you need to shut your mouth and back the fuck off.
[ The crowd cheers on Tank. ]
The United States Heavyweight Champion “The Monster” Tank Edge – Second, I came back to the Empire not for you, but for me?
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – I told you we couldn’t trust him.
The United States Heavyweight Champion “The Monster” Tank Edge – Trust me? The only guy with trust issues is you!!!
The Leader of Legacy Go-D – I put everything into this team!!! I went to bat for you when everyone else told me it was a bad idea. And now you’re out here with these two guys?
[ Go-D points at Shinigami Shogun and Rasputin Ito. ]
The United States Heavyweight Champion “The Monster” Tank Edge – Leave them out of it and as far as trust goes, I’ll never trust you... (he points at Crazy Man) ...you (and he points at the Messiah) ...and especially not your ass!!!
[ Messiah lunges at Tank and Crazy Man has to hold him back. ]

[ Tank chuckles at that comment. ]
The United States Heavyweight Champion “The Monster” Tank Edge – Tran, huh? Figures. I always knew he was your bitch!!! (Tank gets right up in Go-D’s face) And as far as you and your little Legacy team, this was never about us. This was always about you and your ego!!! You don’t really care about the Empire. All you ever cared about was winning the World title and shoving it down Mark’s throat!!!
[ Go-D smiles at Tank. ]
The Leader of Legacy Go-D – You think that you got this all figured out, don’t you? Big bad Tank playing true crime detective!!! Well let me clue you in big boy.
[ The crowd goes ape-shit booing as the arena goes dark and pyro explodes before “The Power of I and I” by Shadows Fall explodes across the arena. The red spotlight beams down to the center of the stage where the new World Heavyweight Champion Prophet stands, arms out wide showing off his World title belt around his waist and his book in hand. His Zealots and Chandler Hopkins stand behind him. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah and the Chosen One” Prophet – I hate to interrupt this little family reunion, but let me be thirst first to tell all of you that you’re not wanted here!!! This is my Empire!!! My world!!! My Prophecy!!! And you are all just playing in my sandbox!!!
The Leader of Legacy Go-D – You’re just lucky your little bitch boy was out there to save your ass because I was about to end you!!!
[ Prophet laughs as he holds his book tighter. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah and the Chosen One” Prophet – You are such a fool David!!! The Prophecy has been written and nowhere in it does it talk about you or your little gang of thieves!!! I am the Messiah!!! I am the Chosen One!!!

Now I have known all these men for a long damn time, and you; well, I’ve known you for like five minutes and I still don’t like you.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah and the Chosen One” Prophet – Curse you demon spawn!!!
[ Shane smiles at him. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – I hate to admit, I’m going to enjoy this a little too much. You see champ...
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah and the Chosen One” Prophet – Prophet!!!
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Whatever. I saw what you and your rhinestone cowboy over there did to Go-D and it was pretty shitty. Your broke back boytoy cost Go-D the World title and that doesn’t sit well with me.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah and the Chosen One” Prophet – You’ll get over it.
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Oh, I’m sure I will. In-fact, I just had an epiphany. Next week on Adrenaline, in the main event; it’s going to be Go-D and Tank teaming up to take on you and Hopkins!!!
[ The sold out crowd gives Shane a standing ovation!!! ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – And if they beat you, Go-D will get his rematch at Summer Stampede!!!
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah and the Chosen One” Prophet – That is unfair!!! What do we get if we win?
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – I tell you what. If your team wins, then Hopkins will get a United States title shot at Summer Stampede. Fair?
[ Hopkins steps up and takes the mic from Prophet. ]
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – You’re on!!! Tank, keep that belt warm cause I’m coming for it!!!

If Prophet’s team wins, then Hopkins will challenge Tank for the United States Heavyweight title at the next pay per view!!! What a main event!!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Shane has had a crazy busy night so far. First, he had to deal with the former Television champion and all the guys that want a shot at the title and now he has to deal with Legacy along with the World champion and his band of misfits!!! The pay per view is still four weeks away and we are already setting the stage for one hell of a show!!!
Mike Godwinn – Folks, what a show we have had so far; but it’s about to pick up as our first TV Title Eliminator match is about to take place. It’s Kahagas versus Bulk with the winner moving on to Summer Stampede to take part in a Fatal Four-way match!!!

Mike Godwinn – I don’t understand Japanese, but I believe Kahagas wants a shot at the Television title!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Everybody wants something. Maybe he should hire a manager to talk for him for Chris sakes.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 484 lbs.; this is… “Big Mike” Bulk!!!
[ The sold-out crowd explodes to their feet as “Onward to Victory” by Icepick plays across the arena and the near five-hundred-pound monster “Big Mike” Bulk storms down to the ring and climbs in looking pretty pissed off. ]
Mike Godwinn – Big Mike Bulk is hungry for another shot at the TV title after tapping out to Raven Horse not that long ago.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I don’t think that Bulk ever really tapped out as much as he was choked out. But don’t tell him that because he might eat you.
[ The bell rings and Bulk wastes no time as he charges into the corner splatting Kahagas against the turnbuckles!!! ]

Kahagas is pinned under the massive weight of Bulk as the referee counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Bulk smiles as he yanks Kahagas’ shoulders off the mat stopping the count!!! ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Bulk reminds me of a cat playing with its food before he devours it.
[ Bulk seems to be enjoying this as he drags Kahagas to his feet, sets the man up; and hits the Bulk Valley Diver (a Death Valley Driver) on Kahagas!!! This time it’s over as Bulk goes for the pin and Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...3!!! ]
Time of match: 0:00:28
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match, Bulk!!!
Mike Godwinn – Bulk just decimated Kahagas in record time Pezzer. He’s now locked himself in to the TV title match at Summer Stampede!!! There’s only one spot in the match left and it will be settled Monday night on Adrenaline!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – With this win tonight Bulk increased his record to six and seven. Just imagine what kind of run he can go on if he were to win the TV title!!!
Mike Godwinn – Folks, let’s go to the back as our very own Courtney Cox is standing by with Malia Hosaka and Genesis. ]
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Courtney Cox standing next to Malia Hosaka as Genesis paces around behind them looking pretty pissed off. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Malia, ever since Queen of the Ring we have seen a very different side of Exodus as she has attacked either you or Genesis week after week. How do you explain you protégé’s actions and do you plan on trying to mend fences with her?
Malia Hosaka – Explain her actions? Exodus is a thankless human being. Thankless for what I have done for her personally and thankless for what I have done for her career. And as far as mending fences go, she will have to come crawling back to me on her hands and knees in order for me to even consider it.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Some people that I have talked to in the locker room have said that you have actually held Exodus and Genesis back and more importantly have used them for your own personal and professional advancement. Is there any truth to those accusations?
Malia Hosaka – Listen to me when I tell you that what I have done for each of my girls were for the greater good of our team... the Exiles!!! Exodus has forgotten what it means to be a part of something great. But she will learn, even if I have to beat it back into her!!!
Courtney “Loves” Cox – So, are you challenging Exodus to a match?
[ Genesis steps between Malia and Courtney. ]
Genesis – I’m sorry, but I can’t just sit back and keep my mouth shut. Exodus, you weren’t only my tag team partner; we were best friends!!! Sisters!!! But you got greedy!!! You wanted more!!! You think you’re better than us... me!!! We could have been Women’s World Tag Team Champions, but you went and ruined it all!!! You want a piece of Malia... well you have to go through me first!!!
[ Genesis storms off the set as Malia smiles at Courtney. The show flashes back to Mike and Pezzer at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn – It seems that Exodus has gotten under the skin of both Malia and Genesis.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – That’s an understatement. And if it’s a fight she’s looking for it’s a fight she’s got as Genesis just called her out. I wonder if she will accept?
Mike Godwinn – Folks, we are about to see the debut of another brand-new tag team and this one is in the women’s division. Just a few nights ago the Heartbreakers debuted and were rudely interrupted by the Woke Queens who challenged the Heartbreakers to this match. I can’t wait to see the Heartbreakers in action. Let’s go back to the ring for the introductions!!!
The Heartbreakers vs Woke Queens
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following tag team match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making their way to the ring, weighing in at a combined weight of 251 lbs., Debbie Kietel and Valkyrie; they are… the Woke Queens!!!
[ The crowd pops as the Woke Queens strut down to the ring to the music of “See your hands” by Viceversah. The Woke Girls roll into the ring and they play to the fans snapping their fingers to the chants of “Woke Girls!! Woke Girls!!” ]
Mike Godwinn – Four nights ago at Red, White and Bruised the Woke Queens stepped up and challenged the new team on the block. With the way things have gone for the Woke Queens since coming into the Empire, I’m not sure this was a very smart move.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The Woke Queens come into this match with only one win and have been plagued by a list of not very smart moves. This match is either going to make or break this team tonight.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring, weighing in at a combined weight of 399 lbs., Indy Hartwell, Shotzi Blackheart and Nattie Neidhart, they are… the Heartbreakers!!!
[ The crowd goes crazy as “New Foundation” by explodes across the arena as Indy, Shotzi and Nattie strut out on stage. They high five each other and walk down the rampway each climbing into the ring. Nattie and Indy each pose on a turnbuckle while Shotzi straddles the ropes between them. ]
Mike Godwinn – And here is the hottest free agent signings since Psycho Messiah!!! These three women have signed a sixth month contract and hell bent on making their mark here in the Empire!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – These women were pursued by the staff for weeks and they finally signed the dotted line coming into the Empire with one goal. Winning the Women’s Tag Team titles!!! What makes them even more formidable, is the fact that they can wrestle under the “Freebirds Rule” where any combination of the three women can wrestle at any time.
[ Nattie, Shotzi and Indy talk in their corner and it’s Nattie and Shotzi that agree to start the match. The bell rings and Nattie and Debbie lock up. Debbie Kietel hits a dropkick on Nattie Neidhart and Nattie Neidhart bumps into Ken Peterson who crashes into the turnbuckle. Debbie Kietel goes for a European uppercut, but Nattie Neidhart ducks out of the way. Nattie Neidhart whips Debbie Kietel into the ropes, but Debbie Kietel drives a high knee into Nattie Neidhart. Debbie Kietel locks Nattie Neidhart in an arm grapevine as she goes for the submission, but there is no referee there to ask Nattie Neidhart if she quits. ]

[ The videotron comes on as it shows Courtney Cox standing next to Reverend Azazel and Solo Darling. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Guys, last Sunday night Solo won her Buried Alive match, under some auspicious circumstances when she drove her car into the grave pinning Su Yim. We are hearing that she suffered a serious neck injury and will be out of action for about two months.
Reverend Azazel – Auspicious? That’s a pretty big word for you Courtney. I hope you didn’t hurt yourself trying to use it. The rules of the game was simple. It was to put your opponent in the grave and bury her. It never said what you had to use to bury her with. It never said we had to use dirt to bury her.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – With hat win it places you in the number three spot for the Women’s World title with only Shanna Furguson and Millie McKenzie ahead of you. Where does Solo Darling go from here?
[ Solo steps up and grabs the mic from Courtney. ]
Solo Darling – Where do I go from here? I’ll tell you exactly where I go from here. Amber Nova, I watched your match against Gabby at the pay per view and let me give you a dose of reality sweetie, you’re not so perfect after all. Gabby came so close to beating you and deep down in your gut, you know it. So, as you asked so eloquently Courtney, where does Solo Darling go from here? I’m coming for the Women’s World title!!! Amber Nova, I challenge you to a match at Summer Stampede!!! Do you have the guts to face me?
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Guys, I can’t wait to hear what the champion has to say in response to Solo Darlings challenge. Back to you guys.
[ The show swings back to Mike and Pezzer at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, what a huge challenge put out by Solo Darling and will the Women’s World Champion accept?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Amber’s been a fighting champion, but you have to know that she watched that Buried Alive match and she watched as Solo drove her car onto Su Yim without any regard to her life. Solo is a different type of cat than she was when she first joined the Empire. Under the tutelage of Reverend Azazel, she has turned her career around and is now knocking on the door of a Women’s World title match!!!
Mike Godwinn – Folks, Afterburn is off to an amazing start and we have so much more and we continue with Women’s division action as Thunder Rosa takes on Amber Nova. Let’s go back to the ring for the introductions!!!
Thunder Rosa vs Amber O’Neil
“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 weighing in at 140 lbs., this is… Amber O’Neal!!!
[ Amber struts down to the ring to “Material Girl” by Madonna as the sold-out crowd cheers her own. She climbs into the ring and mounts the second rope waving to the fans. ]
Mike Godwinn – Amber is a tough as nails veteran wrestler who has scratched and clawed her way up the rankings and now sits in the three hole for the Women’s National title with Malia Hosaka and Bloody Mary ahead of her. With a win tonight, she can possibly get within striking distance of a title shot.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I for one would love to see Amber take on Maria Manic for the title. This woman has done her time and paid her dues for this business and she’s earned her shot.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And her opponent. Making her way to the ring weighing in at 119 lbs, this is… Thunder Rosa!!!

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – With this win tonight it will put her in title contention for the Women’s National title. What a match that would be if we were to see Maria Manic defend her title against Thunder Rosa at the next pay per view.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, at Red, White and Bruised; Travis Blake won his big I Quit match against Boris Drago. Travis is standing by with Courtney Cox. Let’s listen in.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Courtney Cox standing next to Travis Blake. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Travis, at the pay per view you defeated Boris Drago in a brutal “I Quit” match that saw you use a piece of a busted table as a weapon to make him tap out. Word has it that he will be out of action for at least two months. Your thoughts on the match?
"The Clown Prince of Pro-Wrestling" Travis Blake – My thoughts? Here are my thoughts. It sucks to be him!!! Maybe two months sitting at home, on his ass; watching Springer reruns will change his attitude. Either way, I’m done with him and I’m done with the Koloff ass-clowns.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – So, what’s next for the Clown Prince?
"The Clown Prince of Pro-Wrestling" Travis Blake – What’s next? I’ll tell you and all the boys in the back what’s next. I’ve been here for months now and I’ve only gotten one title shot. That shits about to change. I woke up Monday morning and I saw that I’m ranked third in the World title rankings. Third, Courtney!!! Tank, Psycho Messiah, Prophet; you are all on notice!!! I’m coming for gold and there aint a damn thing you can do to stop me!!!

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – If he was smart, he would stay a lone wolf and keep all his earnings for himself. I’m sure this kid will do the right thing.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for our next match as we get to see the rising star Steve Scott take on the man of a Thousand Deaths Mil Muertes. Both men find themselves in contention for the United States Heavyweight title and the winner will find himself that much closer. Let’s go back to the ring as JoJo Rodriguez is ready to introduce the participants!!!

Mike Godwinn – Guys, as the medics attend to Holidead; let’s join Courtney Cox backstage as she is with the former Women’s World Tag Team Champions Medusa Complex.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Courtney Cox standing beside Millie McKenzie and Charli Evans. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Ladies, at Red, White and Bruised you lost your Women’s World Tag Team titles to Caged Heat. In doing so, your record fell to six and five and now sit in the number two spot behind S.E.X. in the rankings. On a positive note, however; you still have your rematch with Caged Heat so it’s not all bad news.
“The Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – It’s common knowledge that we have been on a bit of a skid as of late. That since winning the tag titles we haven’t exactly have been at the top of our game. That’s all going to change. After we get our World Tag Team titles back, and we will get them back; we will go back to being the most dominant tag team in the division.
Charli Evans – And if we don’t?
[ Millie looks shocked that Charli said that. ]
“The Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – What? What do you mean?
Charli Evans – You and I both know that the odds are against us. Hell, I wouldn’t even bet on us!!!
“The Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – So what are you saying?
Charli Evans – What am I saying? I’m saying that if we lose this rematch, maybe it’s over for us.
[ Charli walks off the set leaving a stunned Millie standing there with her mouth wide open. The show goes back to Pezzer and Mike at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – Is Charli Evans saying what I think she’s saying? She’s willing to throw away everything they have been through?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – It sounds to me like she’s ready to give up on Medusa Complex if they lose their rematch and do not regain the Women’s World Tag Team titles!!! I would like to say I am shocked, but after all they have been through these past few months; I would be lying.
Mike Godwinn – I hope it doesn’t come to that, but they are facing an uphill battle not just against Caged Heat but also between themselves. It seems they have lost faith in each other!!! Keeping with tag team action, the Lynch Mob is slated to take on Legacy and it’s next. Let’s go back to the ring as JoJo Rodriguez is ready for tonight’s introductions!!!
The Lynch Mob vs Legacy
