Live from the sold-out Oceanfront Arena in Wildwood, New Jersey
Monday Night August 16th, 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 "Warriors" by Imagine Dragons 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 “The Mexican Sensation” Caristico and “British Royalty” Phillip Greenway are standing by. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway - Good evening folks and welcome to another amazing night of action right here in the World Wrestling Empire!! I am Phillip Greenway and I am joined by my broadcast colleague, and Mexican Sensation… Caristico!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Hiya folks. I am so glad that you chose to tune in to our show tonight because it promises to be one hell of a night of action.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I have to ask, after watching Pezzer this past Thursday night; are you ok?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I spoke to DDP and Shane and I promised I would be a good boy.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Well, that’s mighty big of you. In saying that, let’s get right to tonight’s show as we have a great card tonight and it all leads up to a mammoth main event as we will see the Lynch Mob and their new partner Mance Warner take on the Bullet Clubs Guerillas of Destiny. This should be an incredible fight as both teams are making big moves.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – That’s right, big moves by both teams as we already saw the Guerillas turn their backs on Alexander Stone and join Travis Blake as they formed the new Bullet Club. But it was the Lynch Mob rocking the boat this past Thursday night as they called in Mance Warner to join them as part of their “Southern Rebels” six-man tag team. I can’t wait to see Mance in action. He’s a pretty unorthodox style wrestler.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I have to ask if he bring the beer in the ring with him?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – He has been known to drink a beer or two during a match.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This should be fun. Folks, we will also see in action tonight; Godzilla Sanchez making his in-ring return to the Empire after a decade long absence.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I’ve had the pleasure of watching Godzilla for years in Mexico and he’s not your typical superstar, but he’s also not a guy you can take for granted either. You have to believe that he’s here to make his mark in this new Empire.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I can’t wait to see where this new run in the Empire takes him. Tonight, we will also see Tito Escobar back in action as he takes on Funny Bones in singles action. Now Funny Bones desperately needs this win tonight as any single loss will assure that Funny Bones will not be able to stay above the cut line and will most likely be cut from the active roster.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The staff is damn serious about this cut line. We all watched last week as Arik Cannon got cut. They are not playing around. When they say they want the best roster in the wrestling world, they damn well mean it.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Very well said partner. In tag team action, we will see Bloody Mary and Havok back in action taking on the former two-time Women’s Tag Team champion’s, Caged Heat. Both teams are jockeying for position right now as the watched the Heartbreakers take over the number one spot and are in line for their first title shot.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This is a huge match for both teams. A win will propel them into title contention while a loss may just push them out of contention for weeks or months to come. Desperate times for both teams.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – In other action, we will see the TV champion Psycho Messiah in action as he takes on the former TV champion Raven Horse.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This is an interesting match on two fronts Phillip. First, we find out why Raven Horse and the Natural Disasters are still on the active roster. Both Raven Horse and the Natural Disasters are well below the cut line, but yet week after week they are still on the cards. And secondly, it seems that Psycho Messiah has trust issues with the CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon, and that could spell doom for Psycho Messiah.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Lastly, we kick tonight’s show off with a rematch from a few weeks ago right here on Afterburn when Holidead defeated Nicole Matthews. Tonight, the stacks are extremely high as both women need this win or they will fall under the cut line and be cut from the active roster.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a huge blow this would be for both women, but just imagine what a blow it would be to the Cartel as they have already lost Mil Muertes. Losing Holidead would crush this team.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, let’s go right to the ring and kick this show off with lady’s action!!! Harvey, take it away buddy!!!
Holidead vs Nicole Matthews
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making her way to the ring, weighing in at 190 lbs, this is... Nicole Matthews!!!
[ The crowd goes nuts as “I like it heavy” by Halestorm rocks the building as Nicole Matthews storms down to the ring and climbs in. The referee has to keep the two women apart as Nicole spouts profanities at Gabby. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This young woman has been forced to go it alone as we just learned that her former tag team partner Portia Perez was forced to retire dur to a severe neck injury that is going to require surgery.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – She’s a tough girl, but Holidead is a crazy experienced superstar that has wrestled around the world. She’s going to have to wrestle her best match if she’s going to upset Holidead tonight.
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And her opponent. Making her way to the ring, being accompanied by Tito Escobar and Los Vipers; she weighs in at 188 lbs., this is… Holidead!!!
[ The sold-out crowd boos as “Little Miss Scare-All" by Type O Negative explodes through the arena and the Cartel marches down to the ring and climb in. Los Vipers mount the corner turnbuckles taunting the sold out crowd as Holidead drops to her knees and raises her arms in the air with a smile on her face and Tito arms spread out wide!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Holidead was forced to run the table and win both her matches here in August to get over the cut line. Tonight, she faces Nicole Matthews who also needs this win to stay alive.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – It’s desperate times for both women and you can see the concern in the eyes of all three Cartel members as they pace around the ring urging Holidead on.
[ The bell rings and Holidead explodes at Nicole hitting her with a rolling cutter. Holidead drives a Meteora into Nicole Matthews as she rolls her up and Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Nicole kicks out!!! ]

[ Holidead puts Nicole Matthews in a sleeperhold, but Nicole Matthews makes it to the ropes. Holidead drives a fist to the midsection of Nicole Matthews. Holidead hits a bulldog on Nicole Matthews.

Nicole Matthews hits an Asai moonsault on Holidead as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Holidead kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Nicole Matthews is doing everything she can to pin Holidead, but it doesn’t seem to be enough right now. She’s going to have to find a way to hit her Roll the Dice finisher!!!
[ Nicole Matthews goes for a superkick, but Holidead counters it with a legsweep takedown. Holidead whips Nicole Matthews into the turnbuckle, but Nicole Matthews comes back out and rocks Holidead with a clothesline. Nicole Matthews nails Holidead with a rolling cutter. Nicole Matthews drives a chop into Holidead. Nicole Matthews uses a springboard armdrag on Holidead. Nicole Matthews locks Holidead in a Texas Cloverleaf.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Let me just remind you folks that these are not small women hitting these high risk moves as both women are pushing a hundred and ninety pounds.
[ Holidead springs to her feet and sends Nicole Matthews into the turnbuckle, but Nicole Matthews reverses it.
Nicole Matthews runs shoulder-first into the corner, but Holidead moves out of the way and Nicole drives her shoulder into the steel ringpost. Holidead drives a kick to the midsection of Nicole Matthews and then hits her with the Darkness Falls (the Angels Wings)!!! Holidead rolls up Nicole as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...3!!! ]
Time of match: 0:07:59
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match, Holidead!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Holidead took advantage of Nicole’s miscue Caristico when she drove her shoulder into that unforgiving ringpost!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – That was a huge turning point in the match and Holidead quickly pulled thr trigger on her Darkness Falls finisher. Unfortunately, this is the end of the road for Nicole here in the Empire as there’s no way now that she can get above the cut line by the pay per view. What a run for this young lady.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, we were promised that we were going to get an answer to the big question as to why raven Horse and the Natural Disasters are still on the roster. Let’s go to the back where Maxwell Shaw is standing by with Reverend Azazel and the Devil’s Rejects.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows new backstage interviewer Maxwell Shaw uncomfortably standing between Reverend Azazel, the Natural Disasters and Raven Horse. ]
Maxwell Shaw – Gentlemen, everyone is wondering why the Natural Disasters and Raven Horse are still on the active roster when obviously their records should have had them cut weeks ago.
[ Raven Horse and the Natural Disasters glare at Maxwell Shaw like they could kill him. ]
Reverend Azazel – Easy boys, I’ve got this.
[ Azazel smiles at Mitchell. ]
Reverend Azazel – Max my boy, you seems a little nervous.
Maxwell Shaw – Well, after what gabby did to Courtney...
[ Azazel slaps Maxwell on the back. ]
Reverend Azazel – Take it easy kid. We’re not as crazy as Gabby is, but we can be. You see, everything you’re saying and everything all the fan boys are saying it’s true. Raven Horse, win or lose tonight cannot get over the cut line. And the big boys here, well the Natural Disasters are well below the cut line too.
Maxwell Shaw – So, why are you still here?
[ Azazel laughs at Maxwell Shaw. ]
Reverend Azazel – The answer is simple Maxwell. I am five steps ahead of everyone on this roster. I had a contingency plan for a situation just like this.
Maxwell Shaw – A plan? You mean you cheated the system?
Reverend Azazel – Cheated the system? No, no, no Max. I took advantage of a simple clause in my client’s contracts. You see the Empire has a six-man tag team division do they not?
Maxwell Shaw – In one word, yes.
Reverend Azazel – And these three men are currently the number two contenders in that division with a winning record... are they not?
[ Maxwell rolls his eyes. ]
Maxwell Shaw – Yeah, they are.
Reverend Azazel – So, in the staff’s own words, everyone with a winning percentage below .333 will be cut. These three men have a winning percentage of .667 in the six-man tag team division; therefore, they still belong on this roster!!! Question... answered!!!
[ The Devils Rejects storm off the set as the show swings back to Phillip and Caristico at ringside. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – We knew that Azazel had some sort of card in his back pocket and he finally played it and pulled the biggest swerve to protect his team.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – As much as I hate this guy, it was a pretty smart move to put them in the six-man tag team division. With a two and one record, they are now locked in on the roster for the rest of the year.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Yea, locked in on the six-man tag team roster. It does nothing for them for the singles or the tag team roster. It limits their ability to go for other titles I might add. Folks, let’s go back to the ring as we have a non-title match next as Psycho Messiah takes on Raven Horse.
Psycho Messiah vs Raven Horse
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit!! Making his way to the ring first, weighing in at 210 lbs, he is the reigning W.W.E. Television Champion, this is… Psycho Messiah!!!
[ The sold-out crowd roars out with a mixture of cheers and boos as Psycho Messiah walks down to the ring to “The Beautiful People” by Marilyn Manson. He climbs into the ring and poses on the second turnbuckle raising his TV title high overhead. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Psycho Messiah has been on a great run since winning the TV title, but he’s also been pretty paranoid about Shane McMahon and his questionable tactics.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – All Shane ever wanted was to have a competitive TV title division. I really don’t think this has anything to do with Messiah.
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring, being accompanied by his manager Reverend Azazel, he weighs in at 247 lbs., and he is the former W.W.E. Television Champion; this is… Raven Horse!!!
[ The crowd boos as the native American walks out on stage to “Tattooed Attitude” by Shannon Moore. Pyro explodes all around him as he walks down to the ring ignoring all the fans that are booing him. He storms into the ring and raises his arms in the air flipping off the sold out crowd. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And here is the former champion. He’s been known to do whatever it takes to win matches, but ultimately it cost him his TV title to Psycho Messiah.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – If this is the last time we see Raven Horse in singles competition, then I hope he goes out with a bang; Dead at Dawn style!!!

Raven Horse whips Psycho Messiah into the ropes, but Psycho Messiah comes off and hits Raven Horse with a massive Polish Hammer!!!

[ Psycho Messiah locks Raven Horse in a boot choke against the ropes as Joey Jiles warns Psycho Messiah to let go. Joey Jiles counts ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...4 ½ ...and Messiah let’s go before getting DQ’d!!! ]

Raven Horse whips Psycho Messiah into the ropes and Raven Horse goes for a spin kick, but Psycho Messiah blocks his leg and leg whips the former TV champion to the mat!!! Psycho Messiah motions that it’s over as he sets Raven Horse up for the Dead at Dawn (Sit-out Reverse DVD), but the crowd explodes to their feet as the CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon walks out on stage!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What the hell is Shane doing out here?
[ Shane walks down the ramp as Messiah points at him asking Shane what the hell he’s doing out here. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Messiah, watch out!!!
[ Raven Horse sneaks up behind Messiah and takes him down locking on the Halo (The Crippler Crossface)!!! Psycho Messiah is struggling to reach the ropes as Raven Horse pulls back as hard as he can. Psycho Messiah tries to fight the pain, but is forced to submit!!! ]
Time of match: 0:03:24
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by submission, Raven Horse!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Raven Horse may have won the match, but you have to give the assist to Shane McMahon!!!
[ Shane smiles as he climbs into the ring with mic in hand. He walks over to Messiah, who’s laying on the mat holding his neck in pain. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Hey buddy, tough loss. That... that hurt... your neck there? It looks like it hurts. Hey, I just wanted you to know that I personally have nothing against you.
[ Shane stands up and starts to leave the ring when he stops short of the ropes... ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – It’s professional.
[ Shane leaves the ring as Psycho Messiah glares at him like he can kill him. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – It’s not personal, it’s professional? What exactly does that mean?
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I’ve got no clue, but you know that it’s got to have Psycho Messiah’s head spinning. Folks, while this match was going on our cameras caught up to Malia Hosaka backstage. Let’s listen in. ]
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Malia Hosaka walking through the backstage area when she sees Courtney Cox by the catering table. ]
Malia Hosaka – Courtney, how’s it going?
[ Courtney rolls her eyes, not wanting to be bothered by Malia. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Malia, hi.
[ And Courtney tries to be nice. ]
Malia Hosaka – Listen, I watched last week when you went to DDP and asked to be put on the active roster.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Yeah, he shot me down. Said I didn’t have enough training.
Malia Hosaka – Well, I can train you.
[ Courtney smiles at Malia. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Listen, no offense; but I’m not an idiot. I saw what happened between you and Kiera...
Malia Hosaka – Kiera got to where she’s at because of me. I trained her. I taught her everything she knows and I can teach you too.
[ Just then, Kiera Hogan walks into the scene. ]
Kiera Hogan – Courtney, if you were smart; you’d just walk away girl. This bag of trash has got nothing for you!!!
Malia Hosaka – Bag of trash? I taught you everything, but what I apparently didn’t teach you is how to respect your elders!!!
Kiera Hogan – Oh I respect my elders. I just don’t respect you!!!
[ Malia gets right in Kiera’s face. ]
Malia Hosaka – At Summer Stampede, you got lucky when you beat me...
[ Malia looks at Courtney and smiles. ]
Malia Hosaka – Since the two of you are so tight, why don’t I go get me a tag team partner and we settle this Thursday night?
[ Kiera looks at Courtney and knows that she’s not ready yet. ]
Kiera Hogan – We’ll see you in the ring!!!
[ Malia laughs as she walks off. Kiera turns to Courtney... ]
Kiera Hogan – Let’s go. We’ve got some training to do.
[ The two women walk off as the show swings back to Phillip and Caristico at ringside. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What huge news Caristico!!! Kiera Hogan is going to team up with Courtney Cox in tag team action against Malia Hosaka and a tag team partner of her choosing this week on Afterburn!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – In my opinion, Kiera and Courtney just dove into deep water and there’s a blood thirsty shark out there!!! I hope Kiera knows what she’s doing!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, it’s time for our next match and it’s in the Women’s tag team division as Caged Heat takes on Bloody Mary and Havok!!!
Caged Heat vs Bloody Mary and Havok
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following tag team match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit!!! Making their way to the ring accompanied by their manager Salena, weighing in at a combined weight of 518 lbs., Loca and Delta Lotta Pain; they are the former two-time Women’s World Tag Team Champions, they are… Caged Heat!!!

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a free fall Caged Heat find themselves in tight now since winning their last Women’s World Tag Team championship. Just last week on Adrenaline, we watched as they were forced to tap out to the Heartbreakers and fall further down the standings.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The Women’s World Tag Team division might be short on competition right now, but what they do have is pretty tough as any of them could win the gold on any given night!!!
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And their opponents! Making their way to the ring, weighing in at a combined weight of 414 lbs., Bloody Mary and Havok!!!
[ The crowd goes crazy booing as "Let's Go All the Way" by Insane Clown Posse rocks the arena as Bloody Mary and Havok make their way down to the ring and climb in. ]

[ Bloody Mary whips Loca into the ropes, but Loca nails Bloody Mary with an springboard moonsault into a pin attempt as Yali Sapphire counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Bloody Mary kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – It’s moves like that, that made Caged Heat two-time World Tag Team Champions!!!
[ Loca runs into the ropes, but Bloody Mary counters hits Loca with a massive clothesline. The two women are on their knees exchanging lefts and rights as the bell rings as the time limit has expired!!! ]
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – This match has been declared a time limit draw!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I don’t think either of them heard the bell, or they don’t care!!!
[ Delta and Havok rush into the ring and pull their respective tag team partners off each other as the crowd gives them both standing ovations. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – A time limit draw may not hurt either team in the rankings, but it doesn’t do anything to help them either as they both stare up at the Heartbreakers!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, our cameras are backstage following the TV champion Psycho Messiah; and after what happened to him earlier tonight... he’s in a foul mood.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Psycho Messiah backstage tearing his dressing room apart pissed off beyond belief. Right in the middle of his shit fit, Travis Blake walks into the room laughing at Messiah. ]
The W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah – What the hell do you want?
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – What do I want? Now there’s a loaded question if I’ve ever heard one. What do I want? Let’s see... I want the World Heavyweight title!!! I want the United States title!!!
[ Travis looks down at the TV title belt around Messiah’s waist. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – And maybe... just maybe... I want your belt too.
The W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah – Anytime you think your man enough...
[ Travis puts his hands in the air... ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Easy big boy, take it easy. You see that’s what the Bullet Club is looking for. All that pent up rage. All that fire!!! That’s the kind of guy we need in our group. But... it’s just that... you’re not the guy!!!
[ Travis laughs at Messiah. ]
The W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah – You think you’re funny? That this is some kind of joke?
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – No boss, this aint no joke. In-fact, I don’t find it funny at all. You see, you’ve got something I want and that’s gold. And far be it for me to say it, but you are so not worthy of being champion. Hell, every time I turn around, you’re standing there in my shadow. I’m ranked second in the world, and there you are at number three. So, explain to me how the hell you deserve that?
[ And Travis points at the TV title belt. ]
The W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah – Like I said, anytime you think your man enough to take me on; just pick the time and place and I’ll be there!!!
[ Just then, the General Manager of the Empire Diamond Dallas Page walks into the dressing room. ]
The General Manager of the Empire Diamond Dallas Page – Everything ok in here?
[ Travis chuckles... ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Everything is fine boss. Just fine.
[ Travis leaves the room and Page turns toward Messiah. ]
The General Manager of the Empire Diamond Dallas Page – I’m going to give you some advice kid...
The W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah – Save it. I’m really not in the mood right now.
The General Manager of the Empire Diamond Dallas Page – Too bad cause I’m going to give it to you anyway. As long as you got that belt, don’t trust anyone.
[ Page walks out of the room. ]
The W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah – No shit. Great advice.
[ Messiah kicks a chair across the room as the show swings back to Phillip and Caristico at ringside. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – You know, I really thought Page was going to give Messiah some great advice. Instead, he just states the obvious.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The kid’s the TV champion. He needs to pull it together and realize that everyone is gunning for him right now. Shane may have done some squirrely shit, but he’s trying to put asses in seats and money in the owner’s pockets.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Squirrely? Seriously? He’s supposed to be an un-biased CEO. Did he seem un-biased tonight? Anyway, getting back to the in-ring action; our next match has huge implications for Funny Bones as he needs to defeat Tito Escobar tonight or he too will fall under the cut line and he will also lose his spot on the roster. Let’s go back to the ring and rejoin Harvey Weinstein for the introductions.
Tito Escobar vs Funny Bones
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making his way to the ring first, weighing in at 215 lbs.; he is… “The Demon King” Funny Bones!!
[ The sold-out crowd explodes to their feet booing as “The House of 1000 Corpses” by Rob Zombie erupts across the arena and “The Demon King” Funny Bones stalks out on stage. Slowly he walks down to the ring and climbs in glaring at the referee. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Funny Bones has had some decent matches, but he comes into his final match of the month sitting right on the cut line. He desperately needs this win tonight to save his job.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I hate to say it, but having to face Tito Escobar is just as bad as having to face Prophet last week. Funny Bones has a huge mountain to climb tonight.
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponents. Making his way to the ring being accompanied by Los Vipers and Holidead; he weighs in in at 198 lbs., this is... “Relentless” Tito Escobar!!!
[ The crowd erupts in a chorus of cheers as “8 Mile” by Eminem erupts across the arena and Tito Escobar struts out followed by members of the Cartel; Los Vipers and Holidead to the booing of the sold-out crowd. Tito slowly climbs the ring steps and climbs through the ropes posing in the middle of the ring with a cocky ass smile on his face!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And here is the former United States Champion looking pretty proud of himself tonight as Holidead defeated Nicole Matthews and locked down her spot on the roster for the rest of the year.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The Empire had a chance to blow up the Cartel and I am shocked that nobody tried a little harder to make that happen. To leave the Cartel breathing is a huge mistake.
[ The bell rings and Funny Bones goes right at Tito, but Tito Escobar uses a duck-down move on Funny Bones hits a Snap Dragon suplex on him. Funny Bones staggers to his feet and Tito Escobar delivers a roundhouse kick. Tito Escobar covers Funny Bones as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...and Funny Bones gets his shoulder up!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I don’t think Tito ever planned on that being a pinning move, he was just toying with Funny Bones.
[ Tito Escobar goes for a back heel kick, but Funny Bones ducks out of the way and goes for a belly-to-back suplex, but Tito Escobar turns in mid-air and lands on him for the pin as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...and Funny Bones gets his shoulder up!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What an incredible move by Tito to turn his body and dropping down into a pinning predicament.
[ Tito Escobar goes for a front facelock, but Funny Bones counters it with a low blow. Tito staggers around the ring holding his balls as Funny Bones locks Tito Escobar in a chokehold in the corner. Ken Peterson warns Funny Bones to let go as he counts ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...4 ½ ...and he let’s go before getting DQ’d!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – At least Funny Bones was smart enough to let go of that choke hold, even though it was pretty stupid of him to go for that low blow in the first place.
[ Funny Bones hits a hair pull slam on Tito Escobar. Funny Bones goes for another chokehold, but Tito Escobar counters it with a kick to the midsection. Tito Escobar whips Funny Bones into the ropes and drives a spin kick into Funny Bones. Tito Escobar whips Funny Bones into the ropes, but Funny Bones reverses it and hits Tito Escobar with a back body drop. Funny Bones is going for the pin as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...and Tito kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This may be just what Funny Bones needs to build some momentum in this match!!!
[ Funny Bones runs into the ropes and hits Tito Escobar with a punt kick to the head!!! Funny Bones is going for the pin as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...and Tito kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Even though Tito kicked out, you can still see hat far away glaze in his eyes.
[ Funny Bones hits a buckle-bomb on Tito Escobar. Funny Bones pulls the tights as he rolls Tito up and Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Tito kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – My God, Funny Bones almost won the match!!! What a win that would have been for him tonight!!!
[ Funny Bones whips Tito Escobar into the ropes and misses with a kick, but Tito uses a dragon screw leg whip to put Funny Bones on the mat.

Tito Escobar is going for the pin as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...and Funny Bones gets his shoulder up!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Talk about fight in this kid. He’s giving it all he’s got, but I don’t think it’s going to be enough!!!
[ Tito Escobar whips Funny Bones into the ropes, but Funny Bones rockets off and drives a clothesline into Tito Escobar. Funny Bones is going for the pin as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Tito kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a massive clothesline that just leveled Tito.
[ Funny Bones whips Tito Escobar into the ropes and hits a Spanish Fly on Tito Escobar. Funny Bones sets Tito up and hits the Demon Driver (Cradle DVD) on Tito Escobar. Funny Bones goes for the pin as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Tito gets his shoulder up!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I can’t believe that Tito just kicked out of the Demons Driver!!!

Funny Bones goes for an eye gouge, but Tito Escobar blocks it. Tito Escobar whips Funny Bones into the ropes and they each get hit with a double clothesline. Tito Escobar locks Funny Bones in a half crab. Funny Bones is valiantly trying to break the hold and manages to grab the ropes. Tito Escobar sends Funny Bones over the top rope and to the floor. The crowd boos as Tito rolls under the bottom rope and out of the ring after him. Tito pulls the ring steps apart setting the bottom portion up away from the ring. Tito grabs Funny Bones up and drives him into the steel ringsteps with an F-5!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a crippling move by Tito and Funny Bones isn’t moving!!!
[ Tito rolls back into the ring as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...5 ...6 ...7 ...8 ...9 ...10 ...and the match is over!!! ]
Time of match: 0:06:22
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by count-out, Tito Escobar!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Unfortunately, Caristico, the cut line just claimed another victim as Funny Bones fell to Tito Escobar and is now off the roster.
[ Tito motions for a mic and Harvey hands him one. ]
“Relentless” Tito Escobar – So this is it? This is what my career here in the Empire has come to? Purging the roster of unworthy opponents? I am a former Mexican Heavyweight Champion!!! I was the longest reining champion in the Empire!!! Well, we’re done playing nice. Bullet Club, you wanna take your shot at us? You wanna get our attention? Well job well done. You took your best shot and we’re still here!!! You got our attention and now we’re laser focused on you!!! Bullet Club, you made your biggest mistake amigo’s. Your time in the Empire is going to be short because we are going to put all of you down and bury you where nobody will be able to find you!!!
[ Tito slams the mic to the mat as he along with the rest of the Cartel storm back up the ramp. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I’m not sure this is the version of the Cartel that the Bullet Club wanted. Tito seems hell bent on getting revenge on the newest stable on the block.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, last week we all saw Mance Warner trying to help out Godzilla Sanchez sharing a beer with him. Right now, Mance is standing by with Maxwell Shaw. Let’s listen in.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Maxwell Shaw alongside Mance Warner as Mance is drinking a beer. ]
Maxwell Shaw – Mance, first off; welcome to the Empire as you have signed a contract to compete in the six-man tag team division alongside the Lynch Mob.
“The Southern Psychopath” Mance Warner – The Lynch boys and I go way back. When they reached out to me about going after the Six-man World Tag Team titles, I said what the hell. Why the fuck not.
Maxwell Shaw – Last week, we saw you help out Godzilla Sanchez. Is this something that we might see from the two of you down the road?
“The Southern Psychopath” Mance Warner – I offered the kid a beer. It’s not like I asked him out on a date or anything. He seemed down in the dumps and beer always makes me feel better.
[ And Mance takes a big swig of beer from the can in his hand when the Zealots and the World Champion Prophet walk into the scene. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – Mance Warner!!! The so-called Southern Psychopath!!! Let me... your World Heavyweight Champion... your Modern-Day Messiah... your Chosen One, welcome you to the Empire!!! My Empire!!!
“The Southern Psychopath” Mance Warner – Your Empire? So, you write the checks around here cause I think mines missing a few zeros if you know what I mean.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – No... I don’t own the Empire, but I am the Chosen One. I am the man that the Prophecy foretold of that would return and bring the Empire back to prominence.
“The Southern Psychopath” Mance Warner – Listen, I get that marijuana is legal now; but I think you’ve been smoking a bit too much.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – No, really; I read the good book and it tells of a man that will bring the Empire back to the top of the wrestling world.
“The Southern Psychopath” Mance Warner – You got all that out of reading some damn book?
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – That’s correct my son.
“The Southern Psychopath” Mance Warner – And you believe it? That that damn book meant you.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – Yes, my son. And I believe there is a place within the Prophecy for you too.
“The Southern Psychopath” Mance Warner – Me, in the Prophecy?
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – I believe there is a place for the Southern Psychopath within my following.
“The Southern Psychopath” Mance Warner – Here, hold my beer.
[ And Mance hands Prophet the empty can. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – So, are you in? Will you join us?
“The Southern Psychopath” Mance Warner – Join you clowns? Fuck, no. But I do gotta go take a piss.
[ Mance walks off the set as Prophet is left dumbfounded, holding the empty beer can. The show swings back to Caristico and Phillip at the announcer’s table. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I don’t think that recruitment speech went exactly as Prophet had planned.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Mance is one crazy son of a bitch and I think he would fit right in with the Prophecy, but it appears the answer is no.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Or he just needed a bathroom break. Folks, it’s time for our next big match of the night as Kahagas takes on the returning legend from the past Godzilla Sanchez. Let’s go back to the ring for the introductions!!!

As the flames die down a masked Godzilla Sanchez stands on the ramp and sprays a mist in the air. Godzilla elaborately stomps to the ring letting out a Kaiju roar as he goes. He climbs on the apron and goes to the top rope. He takes off his mask, blows more mist and then does a monster stomp into the ring. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This guy has held titles up and down North America and now he’s back in the Empire to make one last run at greatness.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I love seeing him back in the Empire, and I love it even more that it pisses Pezzer right off.
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent!! Making his way to the ring weighing in at 205 lbs.; he is… “The Tokyo Monster” Kahagas!!!
[ The crowd boos as the lights in the arena begin to flash and “Three Nill” by Slipknot erupts. Kahagas walks out, face painted in red as “The Tokyo Monster” makes his way down to the ring and climbs in!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Kahagas has been a mainstay in the Empire since the company relaunched. He has been in a number of high-profile matches and it’s just a matter of time before he breaks through and wins gold.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Kahagas is a veteran of a number of mat wars around the world but this will be the first time that these two men have collided. This should be a great match-up here tonight.
[ The bell rings and they lock up. Kahagas uses an armdrag takedown on Godzilla Sanchez. Kahagas climbs to the top turnbuckle, but Godzilla Sanchez throws him to the mat. Godzilla Sanchez drives a European uppercut into Kahagas. Godzilla Sanchez hits a brain buster onto his knee on Kahagas. Godzilla Sanchez hits a top rope twisting somersault splash onto Kahagas. Godzilla Sanchez sends Kahagas in an airplane spin as the sold-out crowd counts along with every rotation ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...5 ...6 ...7 ...8 ...9 ...10...and Godzilla lets go and Kahagas crashes to the mat dizzy. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This generation of Empire fans have never seen Godzilla, but you can’t judge a book by its cover because Godzilla may not look or act the part, but he’s very much a superstar in this business.
[ Godzilla Sanchez whips Kahagas into the ropes, but Kahagas reverses it and hits Godzilla Sanchez with a sweeping heel kick. Kahagas whips Godzilla Sanchez into the ropes and hits a spinning backbreaker on Godzilla Sanchez. Kahagas is going for the cover as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Godzilla kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Nice heel kick by Kahagas to set-up that spinning backbreaker. He may not have got the win, but he sure as hell slowed Godzilla down.
[ Kahagas sends Godzilla Sanchez into the corner and charges in, but Godzilla ducks out of the way and snaps off a swinging fisherman’s neckbreaker. Godzilla Sanchez climbs to the top rope and hits the Goodbye Tokyo (top rope double stomp) on Kahagas!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Kahagas is screaming in pain, Phillip. It appears that the Goodbye Tokyo clipped Kahagas’ right arm and hyperextended it. This is bad news for Kahagas.
[ Godzilla Sanchez sees Kahagas favoring his right arm and Godzilla locks on the Kimura Lock!!! Kahagas screams in pain as the referee dives down to the mat to see if Kahagas quits!!! Kahagas raises his arm in the air holding it... holding it... and finally he taps out!!! ]
Time of match: 0:02:45
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match, Godzilla Sanchez!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Great win for this returning superstar as he made Kahagas tap out after hyperextending the man’s right arm.
[ Godzilla asks for a mic and the fans go nuts waiting to hear what he has to say... ]
Godzilla Sanchez - Except for my kid bein' born, this is the greatest night in the history of my life. I just wanna say one thing to my wife who's home: YO, ADRIAN! I DID IT!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What the hell? Am I hearing this right? Did he just quote Rocky 2?
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Wow, I’m at a loss for words right now. As we collect our thoughts, let’s join Maxwell Shaw as he’s alongside Amber Nova. ]
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Maxwell Shaw standing next to the two-time Women’s World Champion Amber Nova and her manager Paul Heyman. ]
Maxwell Shaw – Amber at Summer Stampede we all watched in shock as you attacked Alexander Stone from behind lighting the fuse that would eventually destroy the Gold Standard.
[ Amber flips her hair back, rolls her eyes and smiles. ]
The two-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Come on Max, don’t be so dramatic. What exactly was the Gold Standard? It was supposed to be about the four of us. But at the end of the day, it was all about Stone and his overinflated ego.
Maxwell Shaw – Don’t you feel bad about what you all did to him? We haven’t seen him since the pay per view.
The two-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – And if he knows what’s good for him, he will never show his face back here again.
Maxwell Shaw – In past interviews, we have seen you and Travis Blake... well... the two of you seem pretty close.
The two-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Are you asking me if we’re fucking? Is that what you’re asking me?
Maxwell Shaw – Well, what is your relationship status?
The two-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – What is this Facebook? What’s happening between Travis and I is between us. It’s none of your business you perv!!!
[ Paul Heyman can see Amber getting upset. ]
The Chief Council Paul Heyman – Let me interject, if I may. My name is Paul Heyman and I am the Chief Council for Amber Nova and the rest of the Bullet Club.
Maxwell Shaw – Actually, my questions are for her...
The Chief Council Paul Heyman – And you will now direct them through me. Capiche?
Maxwell Shaw – Fine, at Lethal Lottery Amber has her long-awaited showdown with Millie McKenzie who earned her title shot by winning the Queen of the Ring Battle Royal.
[ Heyman waves Maxwell off. ]
The Chief Council Paul Heyman – Millie McKenzie means nothing to us. She’s a flash in the pan that got lucky at Queen of the Ring. Everyone knows Shanna Furguson should have won that match and she was out right robbed of her opportunity to face my client. But we recognize her as the number one contender, so my client will treat her as such and add her name to the list of women that failed to take away the Women’s World title.
Maxwell Shaw – For months, your client has boasted that she believes that she is the best Women’s World Champion ever in the entire history of the Empire and that goes back nearly twenty years. She truly doesn’t believe that does...
[ Amber rips the mic away from Maxwell. ]
The two-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – As the great Bret Hart used to say... the best there is... the best there was... and the best there ever will be!!! And that’s not just me saying it... it’s me proving it every damn day!!!
[ Amber slams the mic back into Maxwell’s chest with a thud as she storms off the set. Heyman smiles at Maxwell... ]
The Chief Council Paul Heyman – Any other questions?
[ Maxwell shakes his head no as the show switches back to Caristico and Phillip at ringside. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I have to tell you that Amber’s attitude never changed from going from the Gold Standard to the Bullet Club, she just changed who she was sleeping with.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I think she’s making a big mistake because she’s not taking Millie seriously going into this match. She doesn’t even think that Millie is worthy of being in this match going as far as saying it should have been Shanna Furguson challenging for the Women’s World title.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Shanna had her title match at Summer Stampede and if memory serves, she was pinned in that match. Folks, it’s time for tonight’s main event as the Lynch Mob take on the Guerillas of Destiny in a huge tag team title match. Let’s go back to the ring one last time for the introductions.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The Lynch Mob come into this match with a very good seven and four record, but have fallen down to number five in the rankings. Tonight, they can make a huge leap in the rankings if they can upset the former World Tag Team Champions.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I have to believe that this attack was the direct result of Mance Warner turning down Prophets offer to join the Prophecy!!!
[ Prophet rolls Mance into the ring as the Guerillas walk up the ramp not wanting to get involved. Back in the ring Prophet lays Mance out with the End of Days (Scorpion Death Drop)!!! Prophet kneels down over Mance as he spreads his arms wide, closes his eyes and prays for the man. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This is insane!!! Mance is out. The Lynch Mob have been beaten down...
[ The crowd explodes to their feet as Los Vipers run down the ramp and attack the Guerillas of Destiny!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, we gotta go!!! We’ll see you Thursday night on Afterburn!!!
Monday Night August 16th, 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 "Warriors" by Imagine Dragons 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 “The Mexican Sensation” Caristico and “British Royalty” Phillip Greenway are standing by. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway - Good evening folks and welcome to another amazing night of action right here in the World Wrestling Empire!! I am Phillip Greenway and I am joined by my broadcast colleague, and Mexican Sensation… Caristico!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Hiya folks. I am so glad that you chose to tune in to our show tonight because it promises to be one hell of a night of action.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I have to ask, after watching Pezzer this past Thursday night; are you ok?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I spoke to DDP and Shane and I promised I would be a good boy.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Well, that’s mighty big of you. In saying that, let’s get right to tonight’s show as we have a great card tonight and it all leads up to a mammoth main event as we will see the Lynch Mob and their new partner Mance Warner take on the Bullet Clubs Guerillas of Destiny. This should be an incredible fight as both teams are making big moves.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – That’s right, big moves by both teams as we already saw the Guerillas turn their backs on Alexander Stone and join Travis Blake as they formed the new Bullet Club. But it was the Lynch Mob rocking the boat this past Thursday night as they called in Mance Warner to join them as part of their “Southern Rebels” six-man tag team. I can’t wait to see Mance in action. He’s a pretty unorthodox style wrestler.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I have to ask if he bring the beer in the ring with him?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – He has been known to drink a beer or two during a match.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This should be fun. Folks, we will also see in action tonight; Godzilla Sanchez making his in-ring return to the Empire after a decade long absence.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I’ve had the pleasure of watching Godzilla for years in Mexico and he’s not your typical superstar, but he’s also not a guy you can take for granted either. You have to believe that he’s here to make his mark in this new Empire.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I can’t wait to see where this new run in the Empire takes him. Tonight, we will also see Tito Escobar back in action as he takes on Funny Bones in singles action. Now Funny Bones desperately needs this win tonight as any single loss will assure that Funny Bones will not be able to stay above the cut line and will most likely be cut from the active roster.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The staff is damn serious about this cut line. We all watched last week as Arik Cannon got cut. They are not playing around. When they say they want the best roster in the wrestling world, they damn well mean it.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Very well said partner. In tag team action, we will see Bloody Mary and Havok back in action taking on the former two-time Women’s Tag Team champion’s, Caged Heat. Both teams are jockeying for position right now as the watched the Heartbreakers take over the number one spot and are in line for their first title shot.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This is a huge match for both teams. A win will propel them into title contention while a loss may just push them out of contention for weeks or months to come. Desperate times for both teams.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – In other action, we will see the TV champion Psycho Messiah in action as he takes on the former TV champion Raven Horse.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This is an interesting match on two fronts Phillip. First, we find out why Raven Horse and the Natural Disasters are still on the active roster. Both Raven Horse and the Natural Disasters are well below the cut line, but yet week after week they are still on the cards. And secondly, it seems that Psycho Messiah has trust issues with the CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon, and that could spell doom for Psycho Messiah.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Lastly, we kick tonight’s show off with a rematch from a few weeks ago right here on Afterburn when Holidead defeated Nicole Matthews. Tonight, the stacks are extremely high as both women need this win or they will fall under the cut line and be cut from the active roster.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a huge blow this would be for both women, but just imagine what a blow it would be to the Cartel as they have already lost Mil Muertes. Losing Holidead would crush this team.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, let’s go right to the ring and kick this show off with lady’s action!!! Harvey, take it away buddy!!!
Holidead vs Nicole Matthews
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making her way to the ring, weighing in at 190 lbs, this is... Nicole Matthews!!!
[ The crowd goes nuts as “I like it heavy” by Halestorm rocks the building as Nicole Matthews storms down to the ring and climbs in. The referee has to keep the two women apart as Nicole spouts profanities at Gabby. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This young woman has been forced to go it alone as we just learned that her former tag team partner Portia Perez was forced to retire dur to a severe neck injury that is going to require surgery.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – She’s a tough girl, but Holidead is a crazy experienced superstar that has wrestled around the world. She’s going to have to wrestle her best match if she’s going to upset Holidead tonight.
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And her opponent. Making her way to the ring, being accompanied by Tito Escobar and Los Vipers; she weighs in at 188 lbs., this is… Holidead!!!
[ The sold-out crowd boos as “Little Miss Scare-All" by Type O Negative explodes through the arena and the Cartel marches down to the ring and climb in. Los Vipers mount the corner turnbuckles taunting the sold out crowd as Holidead drops to her knees and raises her arms in the air with a smile on her face and Tito arms spread out wide!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Holidead was forced to run the table and win both her matches here in August to get over the cut line. Tonight, she faces Nicole Matthews who also needs this win to stay alive.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – It’s desperate times for both women and you can see the concern in the eyes of all three Cartel members as they pace around the ring urging Holidead on.
[ The bell rings and Holidead explodes at Nicole hitting her with a rolling cutter. Holidead drives a Meteora into Nicole Matthews as she rolls her up and Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Nicole kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Holidead is an explosive superstar and right off the bat she goes right at Nicole Matthews and gets the quick two count!!!

Holidead hits a ripcord cutter on Nicole Matthews. Holidead is going for the pin as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Nicole kicks out!!! ]

[ Holidead puts Nicole Matthews in a sleeperhold, but Nicole Matthews makes it to the ropes. Holidead drives a fist to the midsection of Nicole Matthews. Holidead hits a bulldog on Nicole Matthews. Holidead hits a roundhouse kick on Nicole Matthews. Holidead whips Nicole Matthews into the ropes, but Nicole Matthews reverses it and drives an enzuigiri into Holidead!!! Nicole Matthews rolls Holidead up as Todd Sinclair Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Holidead kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Holidead never saw that big enzuigiri coming as it nearly took her head clean off.

Nicole Matthews springs to her feet and nails a standing dropkick on Holidead. Nicole Matthews uses a Russian legsweep on Holidead. Nicole Matthews hits an Asai moonsault on Holidead as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Holidead kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Nicole Matthews is doing everything she can to pin Holidead, but it doesn’t seem to be enough right now. She’s going to have to find a way to hit her Roll the Dice finisher!!!
[ Nicole Matthews goes for a superkick, but Holidead counters it with a legsweep takedown. Holidead whips Nicole Matthews into the turnbuckle, but Nicole Matthews comes back out and rocks Holidead with a clothesline. Nicole Matthews nails Holidead with a rolling cutter. Nicole Matthews drives a chop into Holidead. Nicole Matthews uses a springboard armdrag on Holidead. Nicole Matthews locks Holidead in a Texas Cloverleaf. Holidead is inching her way towards the ropes and finally grabs them. Nicole Matthews nails Holidead with a springboard bulldog. Nicole Matthews hits a standing moonsault on Holidead as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Holidead kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Let me just remind you folks that these are not small women hitting these high risk moves as both women are pushing a hundred and ninety pounds.
[ Holidead springs to her feet and sends Nicole Matthews into the turnbuckle, but Nicole Matthews reverses it.
Nicole Matthews runs shoulder-first into the corner, but Holidead moves out of the way and Nicole drives her shoulder into the steel ringpost. Holidead drives a kick to the midsection of Nicole Matthews and then hits her with the Darkness Falls (the Angels Wings)!!! Holidead rolls up Nicole as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...3!!! ]
Time of match: 0:07:59
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match, Holidead!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Holidead took advantage of Nicole’s miscue Caristico when she drove her shoulder into that unforgiving ringpost!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – That was a huge turning point in the match and Holidead quickly pulled thr trigger on her Darkness Falls finisher. Unfortunately, this is the end of the road for Nicole here in the Empire as there’s no way now that she can get above the cut line by the pay per view. What a run for this young lady.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, we were promised that we were going to get an answer to the big question as to why raven Horse and the Natural Disasters are still on the roster. Let’s go to the back where Maxwell Shaw is standing by with Reverend Azazel and the Devil’s Rejects.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows new backstage interviewer Maxwell Shaw uncomfortably standing between Reverend Azazel, the Natural Disasters and Raven Horse. ]
Maxwell Shaw – Gentlemen, everyone is wondering why the Natural Disasters and Raven Horse are still on the active roster when obviously their records should have had them cut weeks ago.
[ Raven Horse and the Natural Disasters glare at Maxwell Shaw like they could kill him. ]
Reverend Azazel – Easy boys, I’ve got this.
[ Azazel smiles at Mitchell. ]
Reverend Azazel – Max my boy, you seems a little nervous.
Maxwell Shaw – Well, after what gabby did to Courtney...
[ Azazel slaps Maxwell on the back. ]
Reverend Azazel – Take it easy kid. We’re not as crazy as Gabby is, but we can be. You see, everything you’re saying and everything all the fan boys are saying it’s true. Raven Horse, win or lose tonight cannot get over the cut line. And the big boys here, well the Natural Disasters are well below the cut line too.
Maxwell Shaw – So, why are you still here?
[ Azazel laughs at Maxwell Shaw. ]
Reverend Azazel – The answer is simple Maxwell. I am five steps ahead of everyone on this roster. I had a contingency plan for a situation just like this.
Maxwell Shaw – A plan? You mean you cheated the system?
Reverend Azazel – Cheated the system? No, no, no Max. I took advantage of a simple clause in my client’s contracts. You see the Empire has a six-man tag team division do they not?
Maxwell Shaw – In one word, yes.
Reverend Azazel – And these three men are currently the number two contenders in that division with a winning record... are they not?
[ Maxwell rolls his eyes. ]
Maxwell Shaw – Yeah, they are.
Reverend Azazel – So, in the staff’s own words, everyone with a winning percentage below .333 will be cut. These three men have a winning percentage of .667 in the six-man tag team division; therefore, they still belong on this roster!!! Question... answered!!!
[ The Devils Rejects storm off the set as the show swings back to Phillip and Caristico at ringside. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – We knew that Azazel had some sort of card in his back pocket and he finally played it and pulled the biggest swerve to protect his team.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – As much as I hate this guy, it was a pretty smart move to put them in the six-man tag team division. With a two and one record, they are now locked in on the roster for the rest of the year.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Yea, locked in on the six-man tag team roster. It does nothing for them for the singles or the tag team roster. It limits their ability to go for other titles I might add. Folks, let’s go back to the ring as we have a non-title match next as Psycho Messiah takes on Raven Horse.
Psycho Messiah vs Raven Horse
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit!! Making his way to the ring first, weighing in at 210 lbs, he is the reigning W.W.E. Television Champion, this is… Psycho Messiah!!!
[ The sold-out crowd roars out with a mixture of cheers and boos as Psycho Messiah walks down to the ring to “The Beautiful People” by Marilyn Manson. He climbs into the ring and poses on the second turnbuckle raising his TV title high overhead. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Psycho Messiah has been on a great run since winning the TV title, but he’s also been pretty paranoid about Shane McMahon and his questionable tactics.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – All Shane ever wanted was to have a competitive TV title division. I really don’t think this has anything to do with Messiah.
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring, being accompanied by his manager Reverend Azazel, he weighs in at 247 lbs., and he is the former W.W.E. Television Champion; this is… Raven Horse!!!
[ The crowd boos as the native American walks out on stage to “Tattooed Attitude” by Shannon Moore. Pyro explodes all around him as he walks down to the ring ignoring all the fans that are booing him. He storms into the ring and raises his arms in the air flipping off the sold out crowd. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And here is the former champion. He’s been known to do whatever it takes to win matches, but ultimately it cost him his TV title to Psycho Messiah.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – If this is the last time we see Raven Horse in singles competition, then I hope he goes out with a bang; Dead at Dawn style!!!

Raven Horse whips Psycho Messiah into the ropes, but Psycho Messiah comes off and hits Raven Horse with a massive Polish Hammer!!! Psycho Messiah covers Raven Horse as Joey Jiles counts ...1 ...2 ...and Raven Horse kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a huge Polish Hammer that just drove the wind right out of Raven Horse and nearly got Messiah the win tonight!!!
[ Psycho Messiah locks Raven Horse in a boot choke against the ropes as Joey Jiles warns Psycho Messiah to let go. Joey Jiles counts ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...4 ½ ...and Messiah let’s go before getting DQ’d!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Psycho Messiah just kicked this match into another gear as he tried to choke the hell out of Raven Horse!!!
[ Psycho Messiah goes for a European uppercut, but Raven Horse ducks out of the way and drives a fist to the midsection of Psycho Messiah. Raven Horse hits a hair pull face slam on Psycho Messiah. Raven Horse whips Psycho Messiah into the ropes and Raven Horse goes for a spin kick, but Psycho Messiah blocks his leg and leg whips the former TV champion to the mat!!! Psycho Messiah motions that it’s over as he sets Raven Horse up for the Dead at Dawn (Sit-out Reverse DVD), but the crowd explodes to their feet as the CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon walks out on stage!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What the hell is Shane doing out here?
[ Shane walks down the ramp as Messiah points at him asking Shane what the hell he’s doing out here. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Messiah, watch out!!!
[ Raven Horse sneaks up behind Messiah and takes him down locking on the Halo (The Crippler Crossface)!!! Psycho Messiah is struggling to reach the ropes as Raven Horse pulls back as hard as he can. Psycho Messiah tries to fight the pain, but is forced to submit!!! ]
Time of match: 0:03:24
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by submission, Raven Horse!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Raven Horse may have won the match, but you have to give the assist to Shane McMahon!!!
[ Shane smiles as he climbs into the ring with mic in hand. He walks over to Messiah, who’s laying on the mat holding his neck in pain. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Hey buddy, tough loss. That... that hurt... your neck there? It looks like it hurts. Hey, I just wanted you to know that I personally have nothing against you.
[ Shane stands up and starts to leave the ring when he stops short of the ropes... ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – It’s professional.
[ Shane leaves the ring as Psycho Messiah glares at him like he can kill him. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – It’s not personal, it’s professional? What exactly does that mean?
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I’ve got no clue, but you know that it’s got to have Psycho Messiah’s head spinning. Folks, while this match was going on our cameras caught up to Malia Hosaka backstage. Let’s listen in. ]
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Malia Hosaka walking through the backstage area when she sees Courtney Cox by the catering table. ]
Malia Hosaka – Courtney, how’s it going?
[ Courtney rolls her eyes, not wanting to be bothered by Malia. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Malia, hi.
[ And Courtney tries to be nice. ]
Malia Hosaka – Listen, I watched last week when you went to DDP and asked to be put on the active roster.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Yeah, he shot me down. Said I didn’t have enough training.
Malia Hosaka – Well, I can train you.
[ Courtney smiles at Malia. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Listen, no offense; but I’m not an idiot. I saw what happened between you and Kiera...
Malia Hosaka – Kiera got to where she’s at because of me. I trained her. I taught her everything she knows and I can teach you too.
[ Just then, Kiera Hogan walks into the scene. ]
Kiera Hogan – Courtney, if you were smart; you’d just walk away girl. This bag of trash has got nothing for you!!!
Malia Hosaka – Bag of trash? I taught you everything, but what I apparently didn’t teach you is how to respect your elders!!!
Kiera Hogan – Oh I respect my elders. I just don’t respect you!!!
[ Malia gets right in Kiera’s face. ]
Malia Hosaka – At Summer Stampede, you got lucky when you beat me...
[ Malia looks at Courtney and smiles. ]
Malia Hosaka – Since the two of you are so tight, why don’t I go get me a tag team partner and we settle this Thursday night?
[ Kiera looks at Courtney and knows that she’s not ready yet. ]
Kiera Hogan – We’ll see you in the ring!!!
[ Malia laughs as she walks off. Kiera turns to Courtney... ]
Kiera Hogan – Let’s go. We’ve got some training to do.
[ The two women walk off as the show swings back to Phillip and Caristico at ringside. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What huge news Caristico!!! Kiera Hogan is going to team up with Courtney Cox in tag team action against Malia Hosaka and a tag team partner of her choosing this week on Afterburn!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – In my opinion, Kiera and Courtney just dove into deep water and there’s a blood thirsty shark out there!!! I hope Kiera knows what she’s doing!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, it’s time for our next match and it’s in the Women’s tag team division as Caged Heat takes on Bloody Mary and Havok!!!
Caged Heat vs Bloody Mary and Havok
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following tag team match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit!!! Making their way to the ring accompanied by their manager Salena, weighing in at a combined weight of 518 lbs., Loca and Delta Lotta Pain; they are the former two-time Women’s World Tag Team Champions, they are… Caged Heat!!!
[ The crowd boos as the two former convicts march down to the ring rapping their own theme song “Do it yourself” before finally rolling into the ring. Caged Heat storms around the ring as Salena barks orders at them. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a free fall Caged Heat find themselves in tight now since winning their last Women’s World Tag Team championship. Just last week on Adrenaline, we watched as they were forced to tap out to the Heartbreakers and fall further down the standings.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The Women’s World Tag Team division might be short on competition right now, but what they do have is pretty tough as any of them could win the gold on any given night!!!
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And their opponents! Making their way to the ring, weighing in at a combined weight of 414 lbs., Bloody Mary and Havok!!!
[ The crowd goes crazy booing as "Let's Go All the Way" by Insane Clown Posse rocks the arena as Bloody Mary and Havok make their way down to the ring and climb in. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, our cameras are backstage following the TV champion Psycho Messiah; and after what happened to him earlier tonight... he’s in a foul mood.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Psycho Messiah backstage tearing his dressing room apart pissed off beyond belief. Right in the middle of his shit fit, Travis Blake walks into the room laughing at Messiah. ]
The W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah – What the hell do you want?
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – What do I want? Now there’s a loaded question if I’ve ever heard one. What do I want? Let’s see... I want the World Heavyweight title!!! I want the United States title!!!
[ Travis looks down at the TV title belt around Messiah’s waist. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – And maybe... just maybe... I want your belt too.
The W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah – Anytime you think your man enough...
[ Travis puts his hands in the air... ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Easy big boy, take it easy. You see that’s what the Bullet Club is looking for. All that pent up rage. All that fire!!! That’s the kind of guy we need in our group. But... it’s just that... you’re not the guy!!!
[ Travis laughs at Messiah. ]
The W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah – You think you’re funny? That this is some kind of joke?
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – No boss, this aint no joke. In-fact, I don’t find it funny at all. You see, you’ve got something I want and that’s gold. And far be it for me to say it, but you are so not worthy of being champion. Hell, every time I turn around, you’re standing there in my shadow. I’m ranked second in the world, and there you are at number three. So, explain to me how the hell you deserve that?
[ And Travis points at the TV title belt. ]
The W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah – Like I said, anytime you think your man enough to take me on; just pick the time and place and I’ll be there!!!
[ Just then, the General Manager of the Empire Diamond Dallas Page walks into the dressing room. ]
The General Manager of the Empire Diamond Dallas Page – Everything ok in here?
[ Travis chuckles... ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Everything is fine boss. Just fine.
[ Travis leaves the room and Page turns toward Messiah. ]
The General Manager of the Empire Diamond Dallas Page – I’m going to give you some advice kid...
The W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah – Save it. I’m really not in the mood right now.
The General Manager of the Empire Diamond Dallas Page – Too bad cause I’m going to give it to you anyway. As long as you got that belt, don’t trust anyone.
[ Page walks out of the room. ]
The W.W.E. Television Champion Psycho Messiah – No shit. Great advice.
[ Messiah kicks a chair across the room as the show swings back to Phillip and Caristico at ringside. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – You know, I really thought Page was going to give Messiah some great advice. Instead, he just states the obvious.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The kid’s the TV champion. He needs to pull it together and realize that everyone is gunning for him right now. Shane may have done some squirrely shit, but he’s trying to put asses in seats and money in the owner’s pockets.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Squirrely? Seriously? He’s supposed to be an un-biased CEO. Did he seem un-biased tonight? Anyway, getting back to the in-ring action; our next match has huge implications for Funny Bones as he needs to defeat Tito Escobar tonight or he too will fall under the cut line and he will also lose his spot on the roster. Let’s go back to the ring and rejoin Harvey Weinstein for the introductions.
Tito Escobar vs Funny Bones
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making his way to the ring first, weighing in at 215 lbs.; he is… “The Demon King” Funny Bones!!
[ The sold-out crowd explodes to their feet booing as “The House of 1000 Corpses” by Rob Zombie erupts across the arena and “The Demon King” Funny Bones stalks out on stage. Slowly he walks down to the ring and climbs in glaring at the referee. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Funny Bones has had some decent matches, but he comes into his final match of the month sitting right on the cut line. He desperately needs this win tonight to save his job.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I hate to say it, but having to face Tito Escobar is just as bad as having to face Prophet last week. Funny Bones has a huge mountain to climb tonight.
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponents. Making his way to the ring being accompanied by Los Vipers and Holidead; he weighs in in at 198 lbs., this is... “Relentless” Tito Escobar!!!
[ The crowd erupts in a chorus of cheers as “8 Mile” by Eminem erupts across the arena and Tito Escobar struts out followed by members of the Cartel; Los Vipers and Holidead to the booing of the sold-out crowd.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And here is the former United States Champion looking pretty proud of himself tonight as Holidead defeated Nicole Matthews and locked down her spot on the roster for the rest of the year.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The Empire had a chance to blow up the Cartel and I am shocked that nobody tried a little harder to make that happen. To leave the Cartel breathing is a huge mistake.
[ The bell rings and Funny Bones goes right at Tito, but Tito Escobar uses a duck-down move on Funny Bones hits a Snap Dragon suplex on him. Funny Bones staggers to his feet and Tito Escobar delivers a roundhouse kick. Tito Escobar covers Funny Bones as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...and Funny Bones gets his shoulder up!!! ]

[ Tito Escobar goes for a back heel kick, but Funny Bones ducks out of the way and goes for a belly-to-back suplex, but Tito Escobar turns in mid-air and lands on him for the pin as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...and Funny Bones gets his shoulder up!!! ]

[ Tito Escobar goes for a front facelock, but Funny Bones counters it with a low blow. Tito staggers around the ring holding his balls as Funny Bones locks Tito Escobar in a chokehold in the corner. Ken Peterson warns Funny Bones to let go as he counts ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...4 ½ ...and he let’s go before getting DQ’d!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – At least Funny Bones was smart enough to let go of that choke hold, even though it was pretty stupid of him to go for that low blow in the first place.
[ Funny Bones hits a hair pull slam on Tito Escobar. Funny Bones goes for another chokehold, but Tito Escobar counters it with a kick to the midsection. Tito Escobar whips Funny Bones into the ropes and drives a spin kick into Funny Bones. Tito Escobar whips Funny Bones into the ropes, but Funny Bones reverses it and hits Tito Escobar with a back body drop. Funny Bones is going for the pin as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...and Tito kicks out!!! ]

[ Funny Bones runs into the ropes and hits Tito Escobar with a punt kick to the head!!! Funny Bones is going for the pin as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...and Tito kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Even though Tito kicked out, you can still see hat far away glaze in his eyes.
[ Funny Bones hits a buckle-bomb on Tito Escobar. Funny Bones pulls the tights as he rolls Tito up and Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Tito kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – My God, Funny Bones almost won the match!!! What a win that would have been for him tonight!!!

Tito Escobar is going for the pin as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...and Funny Bones gets his shoulder up!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Talk about fight in this kid. He’s giving it all he’s got, but I don’t think it’s going to be enough!!!
[ Tito Escobar whips Funny Bones into the ropes, but Funny Bones rockets off and drives a clothesline into Tito Escobar. Funny Bones is going for the pin as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Tito kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a massive clothesline that just leveled Tito.
[ Funny Bones whips Tito Escobar into the ropes and hits a Spanish Fly on Tito Escobar. Funny Bones sets Tito up and hits the Demon Driver (Cradle DVD) on Tito Escobar. Funny Bones goes for the pin as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Tito gets his shoulder up!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I can’t believe that Tito just kicked out of the Demons Driver!!!
[ Funny Bones whips Tito Escobar into the ropes, but Tito Escobar reverses it and nails Funny Bones with an Exploder suplex. Tito Escobar tries for the Calf Crusher, but Funny Bones blocks it. Funny Bones goes for an eye gouge, but Tito Escobar blocks it. Tito Escobar whips Funny Bones into the ropes and they each get hit with a double clothesline. Tito Escobar locks Funny Bones in a half crab. Funny Bones is valiantly trying to break the hold and manages to grab the ropes. Tito Escobar sends Funny Bones over the top rope and to the floor. The crowd boos as Tito rolls under the bottom rope and out of the ring after him. Tito pulls the ring steps apart setting the bottom portion up away from the ring. Tito grabs Funny Bones up and drives him into the steel ringsteps with an F-5!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a crippling move by Tito and Funny Bones isn’t moving!!!
[ Tito rolls back into the ring as Ken Peterson counts ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...5 ...6 ...7 ...8 ...9 ...10 ...and the match is over!!! ]
Time of match: 0:06:22
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by count-out, Tito Escobar!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Unfortunately, Caristico, the cut line just claimed another victim as Funny Bones fell to Tito Escobar and is now off the roster.
[ Tito motions for a mic and Harvey hands him one. ]
“Relentless” Tito Escobar – So this is it? This is what my career here in the Empire has come to? Purging the roster of unworthy opponents? I am a former Mexican Heavyweight Champion!!! I was the longest reining champion in the Empire!!! Well, we’re done playing nice. Bullet Club, you wanna take your shot at us? You wanna get our attention? Well job well done. You took your best shot and we’re still here!!! You got our attention and now we’re laser focused on you!!! Bullet Club, you made your biggest mistake amigo’s. Your time in the Empire is going to be short because we are going to put all of you down and bury you where nobody will be able to find you!!!
[ Tito slams the mic to the mat as he along with the rest of the Cartel storm back up the ramp. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I’m not sure this is the version of the Cartel that the Bullet Club wanted. Tito seems hell bent on getting revenge on the newest stable on the block.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, last week we all saw Mance Warner trying to help out Godzilla Sanchez sharing a beer with him. Right now, Mance is standing by with Maxwell Shaw. Let’s listen in.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Maxwell Shaw alongside Mance Warner as Mance is drinking a beer. ]
Maxwell Shaw – Mance, first off; welcome to the Empire as you have signed a contract to compete in the six-man tag team division alongside the Lynch Mob.
“The Southern Psychopath” Mance Warner – The Lynch boys and I go way back. When they reached out to me about going after the Six-man World Tag Team titles, I said what the hell. Why the fuck not.
Maxwell Shaw – Last week, we saw you help out Godzilla Sanchez. Is this something that we might see from the two of you down the road?
“The Southern Psychopath” Mance Warner – I offered the kid a beer. It’s not like I asked him out on a date or anything. He seemed down in the dumps and beer always makes me feel better.
[ And Mance takes a big swig of beer from the can in his hand when the Zealots and the World Champion Prophet walk into the scene. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – Mance Warner!!! The so-called Southern Psychopath!!! Let me... your World Heavyweight Champion... your Modern-Day Messiah... your Chosen One, welcome you to the Empire!!! My Empire!!!
“The Southern Psychopath” Mance Warner – Your Empire? So, you write the checks around here cause I think mines missing a few zeros if you know what I mean.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – No... I don’t own the Empire, but I am the Chosen One. I am the man that the Prophecy foretold of that would return and bring the Empire back to prominence.
“The Southern Psychopath” Mance Warner – Listen, I get that marijuana is legal now; but I think you’ve been smoking a bit too much.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – No, really; I read the good book and it tells of a man that will bring the Empire back to the top of the wrestling world.
“The Southern Psychopath” Mance Warner – You got all that out of reading some damn book?
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – That’s correct my son.
“The Southern Psychopath” Mance Warner – And you believe it? That that damn book meant you.
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – Yes, my son. And I believe there is a place within the Prophecy for you too.
“The Southern Psychopath” Mance Warner – Me, in the Prophecy?
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – I believe there is a place for the Southern Psychopath within my following.
“The Southern Psychopath” Mance Warner – Here, hold my beer.
[ And Mance hands Prophet the empty can. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion “The Modern-Day Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet – So, are you in? Will you join us?
“The Southern Psychopath” Mance Warner – Join you clowns? Fuck, no. But I do gotta go take a piss.
[ Mance walks off the set as Prophet is left dumbfounded, holding the empty beer can. The show swings back to Caristico and Phillip at the announcer’s table. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I don’t think that recruitment speech went exactly as Prophet had planned.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Mance is one crazy son of a bitch and I think he would fit right in with the Prophecy, but it appears the answer is no.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Or he just needed a bathroom break. Folks, it’s time for our next big match of the night as Kahagas takes on the returning legend from the past Godzilla Sanchez. Let’s go back to the ring for the introductions!!!

As the flames die down a masked Godzilla Sanchez stands on the ramp and sprays a mist in the air. Godzilla elaborately stomps to the ring letting out a Kaiju roar as he goes. He climbs on the apron and goes to the top rope. He takes off his mask, blows more mist and then does a monster stomp into the ring. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This guy has held titles up and down North America and now he’s back in the Empire to make one last run at greatness.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I love seeing him back in the Empire, and I love it even more that it pisses Pezzer right off.
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent!! Making his way to the ring weighing in at 205 lbs.; he is… “The Tokyo Monster” Kahagas!!!
[ The crowd boos as the lights in the arena begin to flash and “Three Nill” by Slipknot erupts. Kahagas walks out, face painted in red as “The Tokyo Monster” makes his way down to the ring and climbs in!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Kahagas has been a mainstay in the Empire since the company relaunched. He has been in a number of high-profile matches and it’s just a matter of time before he breaks through and wins gold.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Kahagas is a veteran of a number of mat wars around the world but this will be the first time that these two men have collided. This should be a great match-up here tonight.

Godzilla Sanchez sends Kahagas in an airplane spin as the sold-out crowd counts along with every rotation ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...5 ...6 ...7 ...8 ...9 ...10...and Godzilla lets go and Kahagas crashes to the mat dizzy. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This generation of Empire fans have never seen Godzilla, but you can’t judge a book by its cover because Godzilla may not look or act the part, but he’s very much a superstar in this business.
[ Godzilla Sanchez whips Kahagas into the ropes, but Kahagas reverses it and hits Godzilla Sanchez with a sweeping heel kick. Kahagas whips Godzilla Sanchez into the ropes and hits a spinning backbreaker on Godzilla Sanchez. Kahagas is going for the cover as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Godzilla kicks out!!! ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Nice heel kick by Kahagas to set-up that spinning backbreaker. He may not have got the win, but he sure as hell slowed Godzilla down.
[ Kahagas sends Godzilla Sanchez into the corner and charges in, but Godzilla ducks out of the way and snaps off a swinging fisherman’s neckbreaker. Godzilla Sanchez climbs to the top rope and hits the Goodbye Tokyo (top rope double stomp) on Kahagas!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Kahagas is screaming in pain, Phillip. It appears that the Goodbye Tokyo clipped Kahagas’ right arm and hyperextended it. This is bad news for Kahagas.
[ Godzilla Sanchez sees Kahagas favoring his right arm and Godzilla locks on the Kimura Lock!!! Kahagas screams in pain as the referee dives down to the mat to see if Kahagas quits!!! Kahagas raises his arm in the air holding it... holding it... and finally he taps out!!! ]
Time of match: 0:02:45
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match, Godzilla Sanchez!!!
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Great win for this returning superstar as he made Kahagas tap out after hyperextending the man’s right arm.
[ Godzilla asks for a mic and the fans go nuts waiting to hear what he has to say... ]
Godzilla Sanchez - Except for my kid bein' born, this is the greatest night in the history of my life. I just wanna say one thing to my wife who's home: YO, ADRIAN! I DID IT!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What the hell? Am I hearing this right? Did he just quote Rocky 2?
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Wow, I’m at a loss for words right now. As we collect our thoughts, let’s join Maxwell Shaw as he’s alongside Amber Nova. ]
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Maxwell Shaw standing next to the two-time Women’s World Champion Amber Nova and her manager Paul Heyman. ]
Maxwell Shaw – Amber at Summer Stampede we all watched in shock as you attacked Alexander Stone from behind lighting the fuse that would eventually destroy the Gold Standard.
[ Amber flips her hair back, rolls her eyes and smiles. ]
The two-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Come on Max, don’t be so dramatic. What exactly was the Gold Standard? It was supposed to be about the four of us. But at the end of the day, it was all about Stone and his overinflated ego.
Maxwell Shaw – Don’t you feel bad about what you all did to him? We haven’t seen him since the pay per view.
The two-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – And if he knows what’s good for him, he will never show his face back here again.
Maxwell Shaw – In past interviews, we have seen you and Travis Blake... well... the two of you seem pretty close.
The two-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Are you asking me if we’re fucking? Is that what you’re asking me?
Maxwell Shaw – Well, what is your relationship status?
The two-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – What is this Facebook? What’s happening between Travis and I is between us. It’s none of your business you perv!!!
[ Paul Heyman can see Amber getting upset. ]
The Chief Council Paul Heyman – Let me interject, if I may. My name is Paul Heyman and I am the Chief Council for Amber Nova and the rest of the Bullet Club.
Maxwell Shaw – Actually, my questions are for her...
The Chief Council Paul Heyman – And you will now direct them through me. Capiche?
Maxwell Shaw – Fine, at Lethal Lottery Amber has her long-awaited showdown with Millie McKenzie who earned her title shot by winning the Queen of the Ring Battle Royal.
[ Heyman waves Maxwell off. ]
The Chief Council Paul Heyman – Millie McKenzie means nothing to us. She’s a flash in the pan that got lucky at Queen of the Ring. Everyone knows Shanna Furguson should have won that match and she was out right robbed of her opportunity to face my client. But we recognize her as the number one contender, so my client will treat her as such and add her name to the list of women that failed to take away the Women’s World title.
Maxwell Shaw – For months, your client has boasted that she believes that she is the best Women’s World Champion ever in the entire history of the Empire and that goes back nearly twenty years. She truly doesn’t believe that does...
[ Amber rips the mic away from Maxwell. ]
The two-time Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – As the great Bret Hart used to say... the best there is... the best there was... and the best there ever will be!!! And that’s not just me saying it... it’s me proving it every damn day!!!
[ Amber slams the mic back into Maxwell’s chest with a thud as she storms off the set. Heyman smiles at Maxwell... ]
The Chief Council Paul Heyman – Any other questions?
[ Maxwell shakes his head no as the show switches back to Caristico and Phillip at ringside. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I have to tell you that Amber’s attitude never changed from going from the Gold Standard to the Bullet Club, she just changed who she was sleeping with.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I think she’s making a big mistake because she’s not taking Millie seriously going into this match. She doesn’t even think that Millie is worthy of being in this match going as far as saying it should have been Shanna Furguson challenging for the Women’s World title.
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Shanna had her title match at Summer Stampede and if memory serves, she was pinned in that match. Folks, it’s time for tonight’s main event as the Lynch Mob take on the Guerillas of Destiny in a huge tag team title match. Let’s go back to the ring one last time for the introductions.
The Lynch Mob vs The Guerillas of Destiny
The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following tag team match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making their way to the ring accompanied by Mance Warner, 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 followed by their friend Mance. They high five each other and race down to the ring diving under the bottom ropes. ]
“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The Lynch Mob come into this match with a very good seven and four record, but have fallen down to number five in the rankings. Tonight, they can make a huge leap in the rankings if they can upset the former World Tag Team Champions.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The Guerillas are by far the best tag team on the roster, but with their loss at Summer Stampede they have dropped in the rankings and have to now make that climb all the way back to the top.
