Live from the sold-out SNHU Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire
Thursday Night September 9th, 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, 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.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Folks, we are rocketing out of the gates tonight as our very own CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon wants to address the great fans of the Empire tonight before we get to the action.
Mike Godwinn – I’m pretty sure it has to do with what happened at Lethal Lottery and all of Legacy walking out with the titles. You can’t tell me that wasn’t a set-up!!!
[ The crowd explodes to their feet as “Here comes the Money!!!” rocks the arena and the CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon struts out on stage to the roar of the crowd. ]
[ Shane climbs into the ring with a smile on his face as JoJo hands him a mic. The crowd starts to chant... ]
The sold-out crowd – SNOW!!! SNOW!!! SNOW!!!
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Let me clue all of you, your great white isn’t coming to save the day!!! Not now... not ever!!!
[ The crowd boos as Shane smiles knowing that he just stuck a knife right through their unified hearts. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Now first, off I want to thank everyone that tuned and bought the pay per views these past two weekends. They were amazing shows and for those of you that didn’t tune in you still have time to watch the replays so fork over those hundred bucks for the package deal, it’s well worth it.
[ The sold-out crowd cheers for him. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Now, at Lethal Lottery we all watched as Legacy not only captured one title, but they walked away with three title belts that night; and most importantly they also put down the World Champion Prophet and took home the World Heavyweight title!!!
[ The sold-out crowd cheers. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – That’s right. I promised you big changes when I came here, and well… I damn well delivered. So, let’s not waste any more time…I proudly give to you…the new W.W.E. Television Champion Diamond Dallas Page…
[ The crowd goes ape shit as DDP’s music hits and the new WWE TV champion Diamond Dallas Page walks out on stage dressed in a suit and tie with the TV title around his waist. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I have to wonder why on Earth Page would get wrapped up with these four ass-hats. Back in the day Page would never have aligned himself with these guys.
[ He high fives the fans as he makes his way down to the ring and climbs in, fist bumping Shane with a huge smile. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – I give to you, the new World Tag Team Champions “Crazy Man” Mike Thompson and “The Messiah” Chris Simmons…
[ Their music hits as Chris Simmons and Mike Thompson walk out on stage also dressed in a suit and tie with their World Tag Team titles slung over their shoulders. ]
Mike Godwinn – It doesn’t seem like these two men are fan favorites right now... at least not in this city.
[ The crowd isn’t as warm to them as they were Page, but it satisfies them as they climb into the ring and they all greet each other with high fives and hugs.
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – And finally… the man who defeated that psychopath Prophet and brought home the World Heavyweight title to Legacy… your new World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer… Go-D!!!
[ The crowd pops as the new World Heavyweight Champion Go-D marches out on stage to his music all decked out in a suit and tie with the World title over his shoulder. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Dave’s been fighting hard to get the title back around his waist and now he’s accomplished that. Sometimes staying on top of the mountain is harder than the climb to get there. It’s a long way to the bottom.
[ He walks down to the ring full of himself and climbs into the ring as all five men congratulate each other. Shane hands the mic over to Go-D.]
The World Heavyweight Champion Go-D – When Legacy walked back though those doors, we told you, we told each and every one of you that we were going to take the titles from whoever stood in our way!!! Sunday night at Lethal Lottery, Diamond Dallas Page put down that freak Psycho Messiah…
[ The crowd has mixed feelings about that. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion Go-D – …my boys, Thompson and Simmons destroyed the Chain Gang…
[ The sold-out crowd are not cheering much for the World Tag team Champions. ]
Mike Godwinn – I hate to say it, but these guys aren’t that over with the fans.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer - Yeah, I think they are happy about Prophet losing the World title, but they are pretty confused as to what direction Page is heading and they certainly do not like Simmons or Thompson.
The World Heavyweight Champion Go-D – …and I fulfilled my legacy by defeating that piece of shit Prophet and brought back my rightful World Heavyweight title back to where it belongs.
[ The crowd cheers glad the title is off of Prophet. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion Go-D – Now as we stands here in this ring, there’s one very important piece of the puzzle missing and that’s the United States Heavyweight Championship.
[ The sold-out crowd pops as they know that Go-D is talking about Tank. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Legacy will not be complete until we have all the belts here in the Empire. So, Tank, we’re going to do this one last time. Get your ass out here!!!
Mike Godwinn – I’m not sure if this is a good idea on Go-D’s part to call Tank out like this.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer - It’s like poking a bear and Tank is by far the toughest and meanest bear in the Empire.
[ Tank’s music hits as the United States Heavyweight Champion Tank Edge walks out on stage flanked by Godzilla, Ito, Shogun, his son Conner and his tag team partner Maverick. ]
Mike Godwinn – The Edge Army is in the building Pezzer and they look like they are itching for a fight!!!
[ The crowd goes wild as he looks down at the ring where Legacy stands waiting on him. Go-d leans against the ring ropes glaring up at the large group of men that Tank has ensembled and raises the mic… ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – And you can tell your “B” team to stay right up there. This is between you and me, just like it’s always been.
[ Those comments do not sit well with Godzilla as he has just as much time invested in the Empire over the years as Go-D does. Shogun, Ito and his son Conner try and convince Tank that it’s not a good idea to go down there alone while Maverick just stands there with his sunglasses on and his hands in his pockets. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Let’s go Tank, we don’t have all day!!!
[ Tank looks back down to the ring where Messiah and Crazy Man are laughing at them, thinking that this is all some big joke. Tank turns to his group and tells them all to stay put, that he will deal with this. He turns back and heads down the ramp alone. ]
Mike Godwinn – This cannot be a good idea. Just from sheer numbers standpoint, Legacy has the clear-cut advantage.
[ Tank slowly climbs into the ring, never taking his eyes off any of the men that glare at him. JoJo hands him a mic and he stays close to the ropes in case they decide to pounce on him. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Tank, listen to me; you and I go way back. Hell, maybe to the dawn of the Empire. So out of shear respect for you and your… whatever you call them; I am going to extend the olive branch to you one last time.
[ Tank smiles at Dave, thinking what he just said was pretty funny. ]
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – You’re going to extend me an olive branch?
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – That’s right. We offered you a spot in Legacy months ago and for whatever reason you chose that bunch of misfit toys up there over us, which still blows my mind. You know us. You’ve fought with us… and against us. You know what we’re all about. Why them… over this?
[ Go-D motions around the ring at the group he proudly calls Legacy. ]
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – Let me spell it out for you so that even you can understand, I would go to war with any of them over you four assholes!!!
[ That puts a smile on Go-D’s face. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – You know Tank, Simmons told me that you were going to say something stupid like that.
[ Go-D looks back at Simmons who shrugs his shoulders and smiles telling he told him so. Go-d looks back at Tank. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – You see Tank, the four of us… we are the Empire. We are the whole damn show!!! We are this company’s past… present… and God damn future. Guys like Stone… Blake… Hopkins… and all the other no-talent mid-carders in the back could never hold a candle to us. Like they say down in old Mexico… we run the Bingo!!!
[ Tank smiles at Dave knowing that was a pot shot at him for all the years he spent in Mexico. ]
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – Dave, man; you got it all wrong. As much as I hate to admit it to myself, there are days that I wake up in the morning and I look in the mirror and I see the face of an old man. The face of a man that has been through countless wars with dozens of men, the four of you included. And when I look into that mirror, I also realize that I am on borrowed time. That the clock is ticking, and my days are numbered. And that the only way the Empire is going to flourish after guys like you and I are gone, is on the backs of guys like them.
[ And Tank points back up the ramp at his men as Legacy all laughs their asses off. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Wait, this is unreal; what you’re telling me is that you would rather roll with those clowns than us?
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – What I am telling you Dave, is that I would rather die than climb into bed with your four assholes…
[ And the crowd pops as Tank points right at DDP. ]
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – And as far as you go Page, what the fuck got into you, man? This isn’t you. You and I… we’ve had our go-arounds in the past… but I sure as hell know that this is not you. Why are you hanging with these bitches?
[ Page looks pissed as he grabs the mic from Go-D. ]
The W.W.E. TV Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – Listen Tank, I don’t owe you a damn thing and I sure as hell don’t owe you an explanation… so you’re either with us, or you’re not… because if you’re not, then shits about to get really ugly!!!
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – So this is how it’s going to be? I’m supposed to join your little clique here or you’re going to kick my ass? We’re going to do this right here… right now?
[ Go-d pulls the mic away from Page. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Listen Tank, we made you an offer and you were too stupid to listen to us. We told you we were coming for all the titles and that means that shiny piece of gold you have around your waist too. Now you can either bring the US title into Legacy the easy way… or we can take that strap from you the hard way!!! The choice is yours.
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – I guess we do this the hard way, because there’s no fucking way, I’m crawling through the sewers with the four of you!!!
[ Tank tosses the mic aside as Go-D hands his mic to Shane and takes his jacket off and rolls up his sleeves getting ready for a fight. Shane steps between them… ]
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Whoa, whoa, whoa… hold on guys. We can talk this out!!! There’s no need for this. We can settle our differences…
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – Screw you. You were never part of the Empire. You’ve always had an ulterior motive.
[ Suddenly, “The Rodeo Theme” by Chandler Hopkins and Magnificent Malico rocks the arena as Chandler Hopkins marches out on stage and blows right past all of Tanks men and storms down to the ring. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer - What the hell does this guy want?
[ Without a single ounce of fear, Hopkins climbs into the ring and demands a mic. JoJo hands him one and he marches right over to DDP. ]
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – So what, you’re the new TV champ now? Am I supposed to be impressed?
[ Page smiles and nods his head yes. ]
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – Well then, I don’t give two shits what your name is… where you came from… or who you had to suck off to get that title shot at Letha Lottery… I want what I am owed and that’s my title match!!!
Mike Godwinn – Did he just accuse Page of giving someone a blow job?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer - Oh boy!!!
[ Page has to be held back by Simmons and Thompson as he wants to kill Hopkins. Shane steps up to Hopkins pointing in his face. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Title match? Are you out of your mind? There’s not going to be a title match!!!
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – But I’m the number one contender to that title!!! I want my title match!!!
[ And he points right at the TV title belt around Pages waist. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – I don’t give a damn who you are, I’m giving my guys some well-deserved time off. You’ll get your title match when I say so!!! But right now, you’ve got Boris Drago to deal with, so have fun with that!!!
[ And Shane points at Tank… ]
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – We are not through with you.
[ Tank flips Shane off and then steps through the ropes and drops to the floor and walks back up the ramp showing no fear of Legacy. Shane and his team also leave the ring as we go back to the broadcast table where Pezzer and Mike Godwinn are standing by. ]
Mike Godwinn – What a crazy start to the night as Go-D and Tank face off in the center of the ring and it’s all over that United States Heavyweight Championship.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Dave won’t be happy until Legacy has all the gold. Isn’t it bad enough he’s got the World Heavyweight championship? We are all going to see that Go-D may end up being worse than Prophet ever was. And that’s saying something.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, let’s get right to the action as Chandler Hopkins collides with Boris Drago in what should be a hard-hitting match.
Chandler Hopkins vs Boris Drago
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Already in the ring, weighing in at 185 lbs.; he is “The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins!!!
[ The crowd boos as he motions back up the ramp for Boris to get his ass out here. ]
Mike Godwinn – Hopkins is out in the ring all alone tonight without the help of his usual partner Prophet who didn’t even make it to the arena tonight after his loss at the pay per view.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The bigger question is, are we starting to see cracks in the foundation of the Prophecy? Could this loss at Lethal Lottery send down the path of destruction?
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 245 lbs., he is… “The Russian Bear” Boris Drago!!
[ The fans boo the Triad as “Far from the start” by Timati and L’One plays as the Russian monster walks out on stage with to the boos of the sold-out crowd. He storms down to the ring and climbs in never taking his eyes off of his opponent. ]
Mike Godwinn – Now here’s another guy that has to reinvent himself after losing two of his partners in the Koloff Dynasty. That tag team found themselves booted out of the Empire for falling under the cut line.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Falling under? Those guys never won a match. How can you fall under if you never got over it?

Boris Drago goes for a waistlock takedown, but Chandler Hopkins blocks it and goes for a European uppercut, but Boris Drago counters it with a backslide pin attempt as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Hopkins powers his shoulder up off the mat!!! ]

Chandler Hopkins uses a small package roll-up on Boris Drago as he goes for the pin and Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Drago manages to kick out!!! ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Hopkins needs to seize the moment and take advantage of this momentary haze the Russian is in right now before he shakes off the cobwebs.
[ Chandler Hopkins climbs to the top rope and nails Boris Drago with a shooting star press!!! The crowd pops as Chandler Hopkins rolls Drago up pulling the tights as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and he sees it and breaks the count!!! ]

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – What the hell is Page doing? I think this guy has eaten too much of whatever Go-D is feeding him!!! He never acted like this back in the day!!!
[ The crowd explodes in a chorus of boos as Page stands over Hopkins dangling his TV title over him with a cocky look on his face. ]
Mike Godwinn – Folks, if you tuned in to Diamonds are Forever you saw the return of Gail Kim. Right now, she is standing by with our very own Cindy Meyers. Let’s go to the back and listen in to what Gail has to say.
[ The show swings to the back where Cindy Meyers is standing by with Gail Kim. ]
Cindy Meyers – Gail, first off welcome back to the Empire after a seventeen-year absence.
Gail Kim – Thank you Cindy. It’s great to be back here again. I’ve been a big fan over the years, and I have missed the place so much and I am just grateful to be back.
Cindy Meyers – So, at Diamonds are Forever; you shocked the world when you walked out on stage after Amber Nova defeated Millie McKenzie and continued her verbal tirade of the current roster and the women from past years. Why did you choose that time to come out?
Gail Kim – You know, back in the early two-thousands we had some phenomenal women’s wrestlers in that locker room. Women like Stacy, Lita, April hunter, Jessica Wilde; the list goes on and on with the talent we had. And I really believe that we built a great division for women like Amber to shine in today.
Cindy Meyers – So you disagree with her claims that she could beat any women on the roster from back then?
Gail Kim – What I believe is that she’s an incredible talent. She is clearly at the top of her game right now and just may be the best on the roster. But… and I want to stress this very clearly… there’s a locker room full of very talented and very hungry women back there that are doing all the right things to get their shot at her. So, my advice to Amber is; don’t turn your back on any of these women.
Cindy Meyers – So, now that you are back; what does the future hold for you here in the Empire?
[ Just then, Amber Nova walks onto the set with Paul Heyman right behind her carrying both Women’s World title belt and Women’s national title belt over each shoulder with a shit eating grin on his face, ]
The Two-time Women’s World Champion and also Women’s National Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Yes, tell us Gail; what exactly are you doing back in my Empire? Have you got that same itch as Legacy has? You’re back here to try and lace up those boots one last time? Give it the old college try?
[ Heyman and Amber laugh at Gail who doesn’t find it amusing at all. Amber motions toward her title belts, one over each of Heyman’s shoulders. ]
The Two-time Women’s World Champion and also Women’s National Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – You’re dying to take these from me, aren’t you? I can see it in your beady little eyes. The jealousy. The greed.
Gail Kim – Amber, listen sweetie, you’ve got this all wrong. I’m not here to be a part of the Women’s Division… Mark hired me on to run the Women’s Division!!!
[ Amber and Heyman look stunned as Cindy has to ask again… ]
Cindy Meyers – Wait, hold on a second; so, you’re the new General manager of the Women’s Division? That’s what you said, right?
[ Gail smiles and puts her hands out wide. ]
Gail Kim – That’s right Cindy. The Women’s Division is all mine and I intend on making it bigger and better…
[ And she points right at Amber. ]
Gail Kim – …and you my dear better get used to defending those belts on a consistent basis. Those same women I just mentioned in the back… well each and every one of them have been knocking on my door begging to shut you up and put you in your place.
[ Amber snaps as Heyman steps between them… ]
The Two-time Women’s World Champion and also Women’s National Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Screw you and screw Mark. You know I’m the best you got!!! I don’t give a damn who you put in front of me!! I’ll beat all their asses!!! You’re just another puppet being led around by the puppet master’s strings!!! Screw you Gail!!!
[ Heyman tries to get Amber away from Gail before she says something that she’s going to regret. ]
“Special Council to the Bullet Club” Paul Heyman – Come on, let’s go!!!
[ Cindy smiles at Gail and Gail winks back at her as the show flashes back to Mike and Pezzer at the announcer’s table. ]
Mike Godwinn – What huge news coming out of the front office tonight as Gail Kim is the new General manager of the Women’s Division.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer - I think this a great hiring. Gail knows women’s wrestling probably as good as anyone. She can relate to the girls in the back and their style. I have to ask though, where does this put Page on the pecking order?
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for a huge Women’s Tag Team match as the former two-time Women’s World Tag Team Champions Caged Heat take on the powerhouse team of Havok and Bloody Mary. Let’s go back to the ring and join JoJo Rodriguez for the introductions!!!
Caged Heat vs Bloody Mary & Havok
“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 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. ]
Mike Godwinn – Caged Heat is currently ranked dead last in the standings with a seven and seven record. A win tonight will get them one step closer to passing Medusa Complex and into the third spot.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – It’s just mind blowing that we are talking about the two tag teams that have dominated this division for most of the year being ranked last and next to last. Who would have figured?
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – 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. ]
Mike Godwinn – This powerhouse of a team is on the fast track to competing for the Tag Team titles as they come into this match ranked number two behind the number one ranked Heartbreakers.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – This team is freaky good right now. They have the perfect balance of power and in-ring skills to beat any of these teams in this division. I can’t wait to see what kind of a run these two can go on.
[ The bell rings and they lock up as Havok attempts a sleeperhold, but Delta counters it with a back suplex. In turn, Havok counters it with a bulldog. Havok runs into the ropes and attempts a corner forearm smash, but Delta ducks out of the way. Delta nails Havok with a roundhouse kick to the face. Delta whips Havok into the ropes and they each get hit with a double clothesline. Delta goes for a dropkick, but Havok steps out of the way. Bloody Mary enters the ring to make it two-on-one. Loca enters the ring and throws Bloody Mary out of the ring. Delta and Loca hit Havok with a double bulldog. Loca leaves the ring. Delta drives a fist to the midsection of Havok. Delta drives a lariat into Havok. Loca enters the ring to make it two-on-one. Loca nails a dropkick from the second rope onto Havok. Delta attempts an enzuigiri, but Havok steps out of the way. Loca leaves the ring. Havok drives a corner forearm smash into Delta. Havok tags out to Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary goes for a standing dropkick, but Delta catches her and powerslams her down to the mat. Delta covers Bloody Mary as Joey Jiles counts ...1 ...2 ...and Mary manages to kick out!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – What a powerslam by Delta as she just pasted Bloody Mary down on the mat!!!
[ Delta whips Bloody Mary into the ropes and hits Bloody Mary with a back body drop. Delta tags out to Loca. Loca runs into the ropes and they each get hit with a double clothesline. Bloody Mary is the first to get up as she goes for a sleeperhold, but Loca counters it with a jawbreaker. Loca climbs to the top rope and hits a frog splash on Bloody Mary. Loca rolls Mary up as Joey Jiles counts ...1 ...2 ...and Mary kicks out!!! ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – That frog splash by Loca had some height to it as she came down from at least ten feet in the air hitting Mary square!!!
[ Loca whips Bloody Mary into the ropes, but Bloody Mary drives a lariat into Loca. Bloody Mary tags out to Havok. Bloody Mary nails Loca with a DDT as Havok climbs to the top rope and nails Loca with a big splash. Havok rolls Loca up as Joey Jiles counts ...1 ...2 ...and Loca kicks out!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – Remember people, that’s a two-hundred-and-fifty-pound woman that just came crashing down on Loca and she still kicked out!!!
[ Bloody Mary leaves the ring. Havok hits a standing moonsault on Loca for the pin as Joey Jiles counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Loca manages to kick out!!! ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Havok is using all her weight to her advantage as she keeps pounding away on Loca!!!
[ Havok drives a fist to the midsection of Loca. Havok hits a Phoenix Splash against Loca as Joey Jiles counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Loca kicks out!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – You can see the frustration on Havok’s face as she has to be thinking how much more can Loca take??
[ Havok nails a springboard bulldog on Loca. Havok drives a European uppercut into Loca. Havok hits a top rope legdrop right across the throat of Loca. Havok rolls Loca up with a smile on her face as Joey Jiles counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Delta dives into the ring breaking the count!!! ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – That was it for Loca, but thanks to Delta they live to fight on!!!
[ Havok drives a lariat into Loca. Havok catches Loca in an ankle lock. Loca is struggling to reach the ropes. Loca inches her way towards the ropes and grabs them. Havok drives a fist to the midsection of Loca. Havok nails a roundhouse kick into Loca. Havok goes for a corner forearm smash, but Loca ducks out of the way. Loca goes for a ripcord cutter, but Havok counters it with a side slam. Havok whips Loca into the ropes, but Loca reverses it and Salena trips Havok up and Joey Jiles threatens Caged Heat with a disqualification. ]
Mike Godwinn – You can clearly see that something is wrong with Havok’s right leg. That slight trip-up by Salena caused some damage to that leg. We will have to see how this plays out now!!!
[ Delta enters the ring to make it two-on-one. Delta nails Havok with a dropkick from the second rope. Loca hits an Exploder suplex on Havok. Delta leaves the ring.

Mike Godwinn – Folks, the new look Su Yim is standing by with Cindy Meyers backstage. Let’s listen in.
[ The show cuts to the back where we see Cindy Meyers standing next to the new look Su Yim. ]
Cindy Meyers – Su Yim, first off; welcome back to the Empire. How are you doing?
Su Yim – Thank you and I’m glad to be back. It was a long recovery, but it was well worth it when I came out to the ring a few weeks ago and heard the roar of the crowd… it gave me goose bumps.
Cindy Meyers – Tell us about your injury. We were told it was career threatening and that you may never come back if things didn’t go well.
Su Yim - As just about everyone knows, I competed in a Buried Alive match at Red, White and Bruised against Solo Darling. The object was to bury your opponent in an open grave. She decided to drive her car into the open grave nearly killing me. Lucky for me, the impact only fractured a bone in my neck and after almost eight weeks I was able to return.
Cindy Meyers – And what about this new look of yours? You have dropped the “Undead” gimmick and now have chosen to go with this new cool look. Tell us more about it.
Su Yim – So, while I was recovering from neck surgery and spent eight hours a day rehabbing, I realized just how much of a warrior I am. That that part of me that I thought was dead, was alive. So, I chose to embrace it and become that warrior.
Cindy Meyers – Awesome story, and what a great win on the night that you came back where you had to defeat Shanna Ferguson just to retain your roster spot and not be a victim of the cut line. How did that feel knowing that after all your high-profile matches, you might be cut if you lost that match?
Su Yim – Yeah, talk about no pressure; right? Coming off of a fractured neck and having my entire career hanging in the balance over one match. Talk about high stakes. You know, I really treated it like any other match. I didn’t let the pressure of my injury, or if my neck was going to be ok from the bumps affect me mentally. I just tried to wrestle my match and do what I do best.
Cindy Meyers – So where does Su Yim go from here?
Su Yim – Looking back at what happened to me really opened my eyes. That Women’s National title match that Solo Darling had… that was my match. That Women’s National title that she won… that was my title. I don’t care who has it, I want my rightful shot at it.
[ Just then the new Women’s General Manager Gail Kim walks onto the set with a smile on her face. ]
Cindy Meyers – Ladies and gentlemen, Gail Kim.
The new Women’s General Manager Gail Kim – Su, I have heard what you said, and I couldn’t agree with you more. I think you were screwed out of the Women’s National title shot. So, this is what I am going to do for you. This Monday night on Adrenaline, it’s going to be Su Yim versus Amber Nova for the Women’s National title!!!

Mike Godwinn – Another huge announcement coming out of the office of the Women’s General Manager. She’s only been on the job for a few hours and she’s already making a huge impact!!!

[ The show cuts to the back where we see Cindy Meyers standing next to the new Women’s General Manager Gail Kim to her left while the former three-time Women’s World Tag Team Champions Medusa Complex, Millie McKenzie and Charli Evans stand to her right. ]
Cindy Meyers – Ladies, Gail has informed us that you have asked for this time to make a special announcement. The floor is yours.
“The 2021 Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – First off, we want to thank all our fans out there that have supported us though the good times and the bad. It’s been a hell of a roller coaster ride these past nine months and we will forever be honored as your three-time Women’s World Tag Team Champions.
Cindy Meyers – Excuse me Millie, but you’re talking as if the two of you are leaving the Empire. Is that what you are alluding to?
“The 2021 Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – Ok so let me put everyone’s mind at ease, Charli and I are not leaving the Empire. But from this point on, we will no longer be a tag team either.
Cindy Meyers – But why?
“The 2021 Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – I think what has happened to us collectively and individually as a team over the past three months have been pretty evident that I would rather focus on my singles career. And to be fair to Charli, my best friend in the entire world; she deserves better than that. She deserves someone that will focus all her energy toward winning the Women’s World Tag Team titles. It’s just too difficult for the two of us right now. We feel that we are on separate paths. Not to say that someday we might come back around and give it a run again.
Cindy Meyers – So Charli, have you given any thought as to who you might bring in to replace Millie? Those are some pretty big shoes to fill.
“The MVP” Charli Evans – Yeah, we’ve been kicking this idea around for a while now. Probably as far back as Queen of the Ring when Millie won the Battle Royal. You know, the what if’s that always go through you heads; and we think that right now is the best time to part ways and see where things go. As for who is going to take Millie’s place… there is nobody that can replace my best friend. I’m going to make a few calls and when the time is right, I am going to debut a whole new tag team and I hope we can live up to what Millie and I built together in this women’s tag team division.
The new Women’s General Manager Gail Kim – And if I may just chime in for a second. I have been watching the Empire since it reopened, and I think the that the two of you are two of the best Women’s Tag Teams this company has ever had. Anytime the two of you want to have a reunion, you just say the word and it’s on!!!
Cindy Meyers – Guys, news keeps breaking by the second. If we get any more, I will be back here to fill you in.
[ The show swings back to Pezzer and Mike at the announcer’s table. ]
Mike Godwinn – Talk about a major hit to the Women’s World Tag Team Division Pezzer. The three-time champions have just pulled out from competition and Millie is now strictly a singles competitor.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer - Let’s look at this from a glass half full perspective. We now get Millie McKenzie full time in singles action. That’s great news. We also get a fresh injection of talent into the Women’s Tag team division. I am sure that Charli is going to bring in a top-notch partner.

Time of match: 0:14:52
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match, the Zealots!!!
Mike Godwinn – Man, what a great match by these two very highly talented teams. This match could have gone either way tonight.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I was really hoping that Los Vipers would have won. That would have really shaken up the Prophecy!!!
Mike Godwinn – Folks, we are finally getting word on the extent of the injuries to Havok. Let’s go backstage and listen in to what the new Women’s General Manager has to say on this hot topic.
[ The cameras swing to the back where we see a very distraught Gail Kim standing next to Cindy Meyers who also looks upset. ]
Cindy Meyers – Gail, thank you for taking the time to join me. I know it’s been a busy night for you so far, but I would like to ask about the condition of Havok. She was seemingly injured at some point during her tag team match against Caged Heat. Where is she now?
The new Women’s General Manager Gail Kim – So, after the match; Havok was taken backstage and was seen by our on-staff physician. After looking at her right leg, it was determined that she would need to be taken to a local hospital for further evaluation to determine the exact extent of the injury.
Cindy Meyers – So it was her right leg. Are we looking at an MCL or ACL tear and how much time might she be looking at being out of action?
The new Women’s General Manager Gail Kim – So, I can confirm that it is her right leg and that’s it’s actually her Achilles tendon. Our medical staff took a look at her and are not sure of the Achilles tendon is possibly just torn or maybe ruptured, but when she gets to the hospital; they will have the equipment on hand to make that determination.
Cindy Meyers – And the amount of time she may be missing?
The new Women’s General Manager Gail Kim – That I am afraid is a broad range. If we are looking at just an Achilles tear, and I’m not downplaying the extent of that injury at all by saying just a tear; we are looking at six to eight weeks before she can get back in the ring. If it’s a rupture, she may be gone for six to eight months.
Cindy Meyers – Definitely not good news for the Women’s Tag Team Division as we just learned tonight that Medusa Complex are going their sperate ways and it may take weeks for Charli to pick a partner. What, if anything; has the ownership group and you have done to bolster the ranks of this depleted division?
The new Women’s General Manager Gail Kim – Mark and I recognize that the Women’s Tag Team Division took a major hit not just only with the release of the Woke Queens, but the untimely break-up of the Canadian Ninjas also due to injury to Portia Perez. That along with the disbanding on Medusa Complex it leaves a number of gaping holes in the tag team division. Mark and I have already reached out to a number of free agent teams on the Indy circuit to try and get them under contract for the remainder of the year along with reaching out to other federations about a talent swap of some form. We do have a number of tag teams under consideration, and we hope to have a few signings in the next few weeks.
Cindy Meyers – Thank you Gail, and please keep us posted on any other news regarding Havok.
The new Women’s General Manager Gail Kim – I’ll be sure to keep everyone up to date. I know that she has a huge fanbase that right now are praying for her quick recovery.
Cindy Meyers – Thank you Gail. Guys, back to you.
[ The show cuts back to Pezzer and Mike at the announcer’s table. ]
Mike Godwinn – Obviously we do not know the full extent of Havok’s injuries, but from what we can surmise from what Gail is describing it seems that she will be on the shelf for the foreseeable future.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Man, that sucks for both Bloody Mary and especially Havok. Those two women have come so far in the tag team division just to be derailed by a freak injury is heartbreaking for them.
Mike Godwinn – We both wish Havok a speedy recovery and can’t wait to see her back in the ring. Folks, it’s time for the women’s division to take center stage as Maria Manic takes on the red hot Holidead. Let’s rejoin JoJo already in the ring.

“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match, the Southern Rebels!!!
Mike Godwinn – What a huge win by the Southern Rebels to advance to the Stable Wars pay per view and inch even closer to becoming the new World Six-man Tag Team Champions!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – This was a great win for this team tonight as they knocked out a very tough team in Tony Tran and the Golden BoyZ. But let’s just remember that they didn’t have Dave Anderson tonight. As good as Kahagas was, he’s no Dave Anderson.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, let’s take it to the back as our very own Cindy Meyers is standing by with the United States Champion Tank Edge!!!
[ The show swings to the back where we see Cindy Meyers standing next to the United States Heavyweight Champion Tank Edge. ]
Cindy Meyers – Tank, earlier tonight Go-D asked you once again to join his Legacy faction and once again you emphatically said no. He also said that one way or another the United States Heavyweight title will come to Legacy. What’s your reaction to that bold statement?
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – What’s my reaction? I look at it like this, it’s just Dave running his mouth again writing checks that he knows he can’t cash. We all know that he’s been in my shadow for years chasing me. We all know that he was jealous of me… and we all know that he could never beat me.
Cindy Meyers – What about that challenge? Would you put your title on the line against him?
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – Yeah, I’ll put my US title on the line… if he puts his World title on the line. But I bet he won’t!!! I bet he’s too chicken shit to put his strap on the line. You see, he doesn’t want to face me. He just wants the belt.
[ Tank looks directly into the camera. ]
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – Dave, you want my belt you can have it. But we aren’t doing this without you sacrificing something too. Let’s make this for Stable wars. Tank versus Go-D in a Unification match!!! Title for title!!! I bet you don’t have the balls.
[ Just then, Travis Blake walks onto the set and Tank is ready to attack him when Shane McMahon walks onto the set behind him. ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Tank old buddy, I think you’re reaching a bit there. You don’t have the power to make matches especially when there’s men ranked high enough to challenge you.
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – Are you stepping up little man?
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Stepping up? Aren’t you a funny old man? You’re damn right I’m stepping up. I’ve earned my title shot. I deserve this title shot and I’m taking that belt from you.
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – Boy, you picked the wrong day to piss me off!!!
[ Shane steps between them with a smile on his face. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Easy Tank. Maybe it’s time to get your blood pressure checked by our doctor. I would hate to have to medically strip you of that title.
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – Do your best.
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Don’t worry, I will. But getting back to all these title demands flying around, I think our boy here has a great idea. At Stable Wars, it won’t be you versus Go-D in a title unification match… it’s going to be you versus Travis Blake for the United States Heavyweight title!!!
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Told yah. You can’t dodge the inevitable old man. “The Face of the Empire” is coming for the hardware.
[ Travis tosses Tank the Gauntlet of the Gods… ]
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – By the way, that glove sucks. It’s got no special powers. See you soon old man.
[ Travis laughs as he walks off the set with a cocky smile on his face. Tank glares at Shane like he wants to kill him. ]
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – I knew Dave had you in his back pocket all along. I just never knew you were balls deep.
[ Shane chuckles. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – you always were a bucket of laughs. The problem is Tank, it’s not two thousand and eight anymore and you’ve lost your luster. Nobody is afraid of you anymore. That one-hundred-and-eighty-pound kid just stepped up to you. You really think you can do this without Legacy behind you? That the group of guys you put together is going to be able to stop us? Tank, think. Just think about it. Think about how we can run this whole damn place!!! Legacy is back baby!!! Just think about it.
[ Shane walks off the set leaving Tank there pondering the conversation as the show cuts back to Mike and Pezzer at ringside. ]

The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – You always gotta shit. Make it quick. Our flight leaves in a couple of hours.
[ Shane and the rest of the boys head out of the building to the waiting limo as Simmons ducks inside the closest men’s room. Stepping into a stall he drops his pants and starts to play on his phone as he shits. Suddenly, he hears the door to the men’s room creak open and the lights go out. ]
“The Messiah” and one-half of the World Tag Team Champions Chris Simmons – Hey, cut the shit. Someone’s in here!!!
[ Someone on the other side of the door starts to jiggle the door handle. ]
“The Messiah” and one-half of the World Tag Team Champions Chris Simmons – Knock the shit off you fucking perve. Someone’s in here!!!
[ Then, the person on the other side starts pounding on the door. ]

Thursday Night September 9th, 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, 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.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Folks, we are rocketing out of the gates tonight as our very own CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon wants to address the great fans of the Empire tonight before we get to the action.
Mike Godwinn – I’m pretty sure it has to do with what happened at Lethal Lottery and all of Legacy walking out with the titles. You can’t tell me that wasn’t a set-up!!!
[ The crowd explodes to their feet as “Here comes the Money!!!” rocks the arena and the CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon struts out on stage to the roar of the crowd. ]
[ Shane climbs into the ring with a smile on his face as JoJo hands him a mic. The crowd starts to chant... ]
The sold-out crowd – SNOW!!! SNOW!!! SNOW!!!
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Let me clue all of you, your great white isn’t coming to save the day!!! Not now... not ever!!!
[ The crowd boos as Shane smiles knowing that he just stuck a knife right through their unified hearts. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Now first, off I want to thank everyone that tuned and bought the pay per views these past two weekends. They were amazing shows and for those of you that didn’t tune in you still have time to watch the replays so fork over those hundred bucks for the package deal, it’s well worth it.
[ The sold-out crowd cheers for him. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Now, at Lethal Lottery we all watched as Legacy not only captured one title, but they walked away with three title belts that night; and most importantly they also put down the World Champion Prophet and took home the World Heavyweight title!!!
[ The sold-out crowd cheers. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – That’s right. I promised you big changes when I came here, and well… I damn well delivered. So, let’s not waste any more time…I proudly give to you…the new W.W.E. Television Champion Diamond Dallas Page…
[ The crowd goes ape shit as DDP’s music hits and the new WWE TV champion Diamond Dallas Page walks out on stage dressed in a suit and tie with the TV title around his waist. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I have to wonder why on Earth Page would get wrapped up with these four ass-hats. Back in the day Page would never have aligned himself with these guys.
[ He high fives the fans as he makes his way down to the ring and climbs in, fist bumping Shane with a huge smile. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – I give to you, the new World Tag Team Champions “Crazy Man” Mike Thompson and “The Messiah” Chris Simmons…
[ Their music hits as Chris Simmons and Mike Thompson walk out on stage also dressed in a suit and tie with their World Tag Team titles slung over their shoulders. ]
Mike Godwinn – It doesn’t seem like these two men are fan favorites right now... at least not in this city.
[ The crowd isn’t as warm to them as they were Page, but it satisfies them as they climb into the ring and they all greet each other with high fives and hugs.
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – And finally… the man who defeated that psychopath Prophet and brought home the World Heavyweight title to Legacy… your new World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer… Go-D!!!
[ The crowd pops as the new World Heavyweight Champion Go-D marches out on stage to his music all decked out in a suit and tie with the World title over his shoulder. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Dave’s been fighting hard to get the title back around his waist and now he’s accomplished that. Sometimes staying on top of the mountain is harder than the climb to get there. It’s a long way to the bottom.
[ He walks down to the ring full of himself and climbs into the ring as all five men congratulate each other. Shane hands the mic over to Go-D.]
The World Heavyweight Champion Go-D – When Legacy walked back though those doors, we told you, we told each and every one of you that we were going to take the titles from whoever stood in our way!!! Sunday night at Lethal Lottery, Diamond Dallas Page put down that freak Psycho Messiah…
[ The crowd has mixed feelings about that. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion Go-D – …my boys, Thompson and Simmons destroyed the Chain Gang…
[ The sold-out crowd are not cheering much for the World Tag team Champions. ]
Mike Godwinn – I hate to say it, but these guys aren’t that over with the fans.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer - Yeah, I think they are happy about Prophet losing the World title, but they are pretty confused as to what direction Page is heading and they certainly do not like Simmons or Thompson.
The World Heavyweight Champion Go-D – …and I fulfilled my legacy by defeating that piece of shit Prophet and brought back my rightful World Heavyweight title back to where it belongs.
[ The crowd cheers glad the title is off of Prophet. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion Go-D – Now as we stands here in this ring, there’s one very important piece of the puzzle missing and that’s the United States Heavyweight Championship.
[ The sold-out crowd pops as they know that Go-D is talking about Tank. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Legacy will not be complete until we have all the belts here in the Empire. So, Tank, we’re going to do this one last time. Get your ass out here!!!
Mike Godwinn – I’m not sure if this is a good idea on Go-D’s part to call Tank out like this.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer - It’s like poking a bear and Tank is by far the toughest and meanest bear in the Empire.
[ Tank’s music hits as the United States Heavyweight Champion Tank Edge walks out on stage flanked by Godzilla, Ito, Shogun, his son Conner and his tag team partner Maverick. ]
Mike Godwinn – The Edge Army is in the building Pezzer and they look like they are itching for a fight!!!
[ The crowd goes wild as he looks down at the ring where Legacy stands waiting on him. Go-d leans against the ring ropes glaring up at the large group of men that Tank has ensembled and raises the mic… ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – And you can tell your “B” team to stay right up there. This is between you and me, just like it’s always been.
[ Those comments do not sit well with Godzilla as he has just as much time invested in the Empire over the years as Go-D does. Shogun, Ito and his son Conner try and convince Tank that it’s not a good idea to go down there alone while Maverick just stands there with his sunglasses on and his hands in his pockets. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Let’s go Tank, we don’t have all day!!!
[ Tank looks back down to the ring where Messiah and Crazy Man are laughing at them, thinking that this is all some big joke. Tank turns to his group and tells them all to stay put, that he will deal with this. He turns back and heads down the ramp alone. ]
Mike Godwinn – This cannot be a good idea. Just from sheer numbers standpoint, Legacy has the clear-cut advantage.
[ Tank slowly climbs into the ring, never taking his eyes off any of the men that glare at him. JoJo hands him a mic and he stays close to the ropes in case they decide to pounce on him. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Tank, listen to me; you and I go way back. Hell, maybe to the dawn of the Empire. So out of shear respect for you and your… whatever you call them; I am going to extend the olive branch to you one last time.
[ Tank smiles at Dave, thinking what he just said was pretty funny. ]
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – You’re going to extend me an olive branch?
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – That’s right. We offered you a spot in Legacy months ago and for whatever reason you chose that bunch of misfit toys up there over us, which still blows my mind. You know us. You’ve fought with us… and against us. You know what we’re all about. Why them… over this?
[ Go-D motions around the ring at the group he proudly calls Legacy. ]
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – Let me spell it out for you so that even you can understand, I would go to war with any of them over you four assholes!!!
[ That puts a smile on Go-D’s face. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – You know Tank, Simmons told me that you were going to say something stupid like that.
[ Go-D looks back at Simmons who shrugs his shoulders and smiles telling he told him so. Go-d looks back at Tank. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – You see Tank, the four of us… we are the Empire. We are the whole damn show!!! We are this company’s past… present… and God damn future. Guys like Stone… Blake… Hopkins… and all the other no-talent mid-carders in the back could never hold a candle to us. Like they say down in old Mexico… we run the Bingo!!!
[ Tank smiles at Dave knowing that was a pot shot at him for all the years he spent in Mexico. ]
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – Dave, man; you got it all wrong. As much as I hate to admit it to myself, there are days that I wake up in the morning and I look in the mirror and I see the face of an old man. The face of a man that has been through countless wars with dozens of men, the four of you included. And when I look into that mirror, I also realize that I am on borrowed time. That the clock is ticking, and my days are numbered. And that the only way the Empire is going to flourish after guys like you and I are gone, is on the backs of guys like them.
[ And Tank points back up the ramp at his men as Legacy all laughs their asses off. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Wait, this is unreal; what you’re telling me is that you would rather roll with those clowns than us?
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – What I am telling you Dave, is that I would rather die than climb into bed with your four assholes…
[ And the crowd pops as Tank points right at DDP. ]
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – And as far as you go Page, what the fuck got into you, man? This isn’t you. You and I… we’ve had our go-arounds in the past… but I sure as hell know that this is not you. Why are you hanging with these bitches?
[ Page looks pissed as he grabs the mic from Go-D. ]
The W.W.E. TV Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – Listen Tank, I don’t owe you a damn thing and I sure as hell don’t owe you an explanation… so you’re either with us, or you’re not… because if you’re not, then shits about to get really ugly!!!
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – So this is how it’s going to be? I’m supposed to join your little clique here or you’re going to kick my ass? We’re going to do this right here… right now?
[ Go-d pulls the mic away from Page. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Listen Tank, we made you an offer and you were too stupid to listen to us. We told you we were coming for all the titles and that means that shiny piece of gold you have around your waist too. Now you can either bring the US title into Legacy the easy way… or we can take that strap from you the hard way!!! The choice is yours.
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – I guess we do this the hard way, because there’s no fucking way, I’m crawling through the sewers with the four of you!!!
[ Tank tosses the mic aside as Go-D hands his mic to Shane and takes his jacket off and rolls up his sleeves getting ready for a fight. Shane steps between them… ]
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Whoa, whoa, whoa… hold on guys. We can talk this out!!! There’s no need for this. We can settle our differences…
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – Screw you. You were never part of the Empire. You’ve always had an ulterior motive.
[ Suddenly, “The Rodeo Theme” by Chandler Hopkins and Magnificent Malico rocks the arena as Chandler Hopkins marches out on stage and blows right past all of Tanks men and storms down to the ring. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer - What the hell does this guy want?
[ Without a single ounce of fear, Hopkins climbs into the ring and demands a mic. JoJo hands him one and he marches right over to DDP. ]
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – So what, you’re the new TV champ now? Am I supposed to be impressed?
[ Page smiles and nods his head yes. ]
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – Well then, I don’t give two shits what your name is… where you came from… or who you had to suck off to get that title shot at Letha Lottery… I want what I am owed and that’s my title match!!!
Mike Godwinn – Did he just accuse Page of giving someone a blow job?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer - Oh boy!!!
[ Page has to be held back by Simmons and Thompson as he wants to kill Hopkins. Shane steps up to Hopkins pointing in his face. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Title match? Are you out of your mind? There’s not going to be a title match!!!
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – But I’m the number one contender to that title!!! I want my title match!!!
[ And he points right at the TV title belt around Pages waist. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – I don’t give a damn who you are, I’m giving my guys some well-deserved time off. You’ll get your title match when I say so!!! But right now, you’ve got Boris Drago to deal with, so have fun with that!!!
[ And Shane points at Tank… ]
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – We are not through with you.
[ Tank flips Shane off and then steps through the ropes and drops to the floor and walks back up the ramp showing no fear of Legacy. Shane and his team also leave the ring as we go back to the broadcast table where Pezzer and Mike Godwinn are standing by. ]
Mike Godwinn – What a crazy start to the night as Go-D and Tank face off in the center of the ring and it’s all over that United States Heavyweight Championship.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Dave won’t be happy until Legacy has all the gold. Isn’t it bad enough he’s got the World Heavyweight championship? We are all going to see that Go-D may end up being worse than Prophet ever was. And that’s saying something.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, let’s get right to the action as Chandler Hopkins collides with Boris Drago in what should be a hard-hitting match.
Chandler Hopkins vs Boris Drago
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Already in the ring, weighing in at 185 lbs.; he is “The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins!!!
[ The crowd boos as he motions back up the ramp for Boris to get his ass out here. ]
Mike Godwinn – Hopkins is out in the ring all alone tonight without the help of his usual partner Prophet who didn’t even make it to the arena tonight after his loss at the pay per view.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The bigger question is, are we starting to see cracks in the foundation of the Prophecy? Could this loss at Lethal Lottery send down the path of destruction?

[ The fans boo the Triad as “Far from the start” by Timati and L’One plays as the Russian monster walks out on stage with to the boos of the sold-out crowd. He storms down to the ring and climbs in never taking his eyes off of his opponent. ]
Mike Godwinn – Now here’s another guy that has to reinvent himself after losing two of his partners in the Koloff Dynasty. That tag team found themselves booted out of the Empire for falling under the cut line.

[ The show swings to the back where Cindy Meyers is standing by with Gail Kim. ]
Cindy Meyers – Gail, first off welcome back to the Empire after a seventeen-year absence.
Gail Kim – Thank you Cindy. It’s great to be back here again. I’ve been a big fan over the years, and I have missed the place so much and I am just grateful to be back.
Cindy Meyers – So, at Diamonds are Forever; you shocked the world when you walked out on stage after Amber Nova defeated Millie McKenzie and continued her verbal tirade of the current roster and the women from past years. Why did you choose that time to come out?
Gail Kim – You know, back in the early two-thousands we had some phenomenal women’s wrestlers in that locker room. Women like Stacy, Lita, April hunter, Jessica Wilde; the list goes on and on with the talent we had. And I really believe that we built a great division for women like Amber to shine in today.
Cindy Meyers – So you disagree with her claims that she could beat any women on the roster from back then?
Gail Kim – What I believe is that she’s an incredible talent. She is clearly at the top of her game right now and just may be the best on the roster. But… and I want to stress this very clearly… there’s a locker room full of very talented and very hungry women back there that are doing all the right things to get their shot at her. So, my advice to Amber is; don’t turn your back on any of these women.
Cindy Meyers – So, now that you are back; what does the future hold for you here in the Empire?
[ Just then, Amber Nova walks onto the set with Paul Heyman right behind her carrying both Women’s World title belt and Women’s national title belt over each shoulder with a shit eating grin on his face, ]
The Two-time Women’s World Champion and also Women’s National Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Yes, tell us Gail; what exactly are you doing back in my Empire? Have you got that same itch as Legacy has? You’re back here to try and lace up those boots one last time? Give it the old college try?
[ Heyman and Amber laugh at Gail who doesn’t find it amusing at all. Amber motions toward her title belts, one over each of Heyman’s shoulders. ]
The Two-time Women’s World Champion and also Women’s National Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – You’re dying to take these from me, aren’t you? I can see it in your beady little eyes. The jealousy. The greed.
Gail Kim – Amber, listen sweetie, you’ve got this all wrong. I’m not here to be a part of the Women’s Division… Mark hired me on to run the Women’s Division!!!
[ Amber and Heyman look stunned as Cindy has to ask again… ]
Cindy Meyers – Wait, hold on a second; so, you’re the new General manager of the Women’s Division? That’s what you said, right?
[ Gail smiles and puts her hands out wide. ]
Gail Kim – That’s right Cindy. The Women’s Division is all mine and I intend on making it bigger and better…
[ And she points right at Amber. ]
Gail Kim – …and you my dear better get used to defending those belts on a consistent basis. Those same women I just mentioned in the back… well each and every one of them have been knocking on my door begging to shut you up and put you in your place.
[ Amber snaps as Heyman steps between them… ]
The Two-time Women’s World Champion and also Women’s National Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Screw you and screw Mark. You know I’m the best you got!!! I don’t give a damn who you put in front of me!! I’ll beat all their asses!!! You’re just another puppet being led around by the puppet master’s strings!!! Screw you Gail!!!
[ Heyman tries to get Amber away from Gail before she says something that she’s going to regret. ]
“Special Council to the Bullet Club” Paul Heyman – Come on, let’s go!!!
[ Cindy smiles at Gail and Gail winks back at her as the show flashes back to Mike and Pezzer at the announcer’s table. ]
Mike Godwinn – What huge news coming out of the front office tonight as Gail Kim is the new General manager of the Women’s Division.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer - I think this a great hiring. Gail knows women’s wrestling probably as good as anyone. She can relate to the girls in the back and their style. I have to ask though, where does this put Page on the pecking order?
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for a huge Women’s Tag Team match as the former two-time Women’s World Tag Team Champions Caged Heat take on the powerhouse team of Havok and Bloody Mary. Let’s go back to the ring and join JoJo Rodriguez for the introductions!!!

[ 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. ]
Mike Godwinn – Caged Heat is currently ranked dead last in the standings with a seven and seven record. A win tonight will get them one step closer to passing Medusa Complex and into the third spot.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – It’s just mind blowing that we are talking about the two tag teams that have dominated this division for most of the year being ranked last and next to last. Who would have figured?

[ As Caged Heat celebrate in the ring, Bloody Mary and the referee help Havok hobble to the back where she can get medical help. ]

Mike Godwinn – Folks, the new look Su Yim is standing by with Cindy Meyers backstage. Let’s listen in.
[ The show cuts to the back where we see Cindy Meyers standing next to the new look Su Yim. ]
Cindy Meyers – Su Yim, first off; welcome back to the Empire. How are you doing?
Su Yim – Thank you and I’m glad to be back. It was a long recovery, but it was well worth it when I came out to the ring a few weeks ago and heard the roar of the crowd… it gave me goose bumps.
Cindy Meyers – Tell us about your injury. We were told it was career threatening and that you may never come back if things didn’t go well.
Su Yim - As just about everyone knows, I competed in a Buried Alive match at Red, White and Bruised against Solo Darling. The object was to bury your opponent in an open grave. She decided to drive her car into the open grave nearly killing me. Lucky for me, the impact only fractured a bone in my neck and after almost eight weeks I was able to return.
Cindy Meyers – And what about this new look of yours? You have dropped the “Undead” gimmick and now have chosen to go with this new cool look. Tell us more about it.
Su Yim – So, while I was recovering from neck surgery and spent eight hours a day rehabbing, I realized just how much of a warrior I am. That that part of me that I thought was dead, was alive. So, I chose to embrace it and become that warrior.
Cindy Meyers – Awesome story, and what a great win on the night that you came back where you had to defeat Shanna Ferguson just to retain your roster spot and not be a victim of the cut line. How did that feel knowing that after all your high-profile matches, you might be cut if you lost that match?
Su Yim – Yeah, talk about no pressure; right? Coming off of a fractured neck and having my entire career hanging in the balance over one match. Talk about high stakes. You know, I really treated it like any other match. I didn’t let the pressure of my injury, or if my neck was going to be ok from the bumps affect me mentally. I just tried to wrestle my match and do what I do best.
Cindy Meyers – So where does Su Yim go from here?
Su Yim – Looking back at what happened to me really opened my eyes. That Women’s National title match that Solo Darling had… that was my match. That Women’s National title that she won… that was my title. I don’t care who has it, I want my rightful shot at it.
[ Just then the new Women’s General Manager Gail Kim walks onto the set with a smile on her face. ]
Cindy Meyers – Ladies and gentlemen, Gail Kim.
The new Women’s General Manager Gail Kim – Su, I have heard what you said, and I couldn’t agree with you more. I think you were screwed out of the Women’s National title shot. So, this is what I am going to do for you. This Monday night on Adrenaline, it’s going to be Su Yim versus Amber Nova for the Women’s National title!!!
Cindy Meyers – Guys, you heard it here first!!!
[ Su Yim smiles and thanks Gail as the show cuts back to Mike and Pezzer ringside. ]

Mike Godwinn – Folks, we seem to have some major breaking news backstage as Cindy Meyers is standing by with the former Women’s World Tag Team Champions and Gail Kim. Let’s go to the back and listen in.
[ The show cuts to the back where we see Cindy Meyers standing next to the new Women’s General Manager Gail Kim to her left while the former three-time Women’s World Tag Team Champions Medusa Complex, Millie McKenzie and Charli Evans stand to her right. ]
Cindy Meyers – Ladies, Gail has informed us that you have asked for this time to make a special announcement. The floor is yours.
“The 2021 Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – First off, we want to thank all our fans out there that have supported us though the good times and the bad. It’s been a hell of a roller coaster ride these past nine months and we will forever be honored as your three-time Women’s World Tag Team Champions.
Cindy Meyers – Excuse me Millie, but you’re talking as if the two of you are leaving the Empire. Is that what you are alluding to?
“The 2021 Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – Ok so let me put everyone’s mind at ease, Charli and I are not leaving the Empire. But from this point on, we will no longer be a tag team either.
Cindy Meyers – But why?
“The 2021 Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – I think what has happened to us collectively and individually as a team over the past three months have been pretty evident that I would rather focus on my singles career. And to be fair to Charli, my best friend in the entire world; she deserves better than that. She deserves someone that will focus all her energy toward winning the Women’s World Tag Team titles. It’s just too difficult for the two of us right now. We feel that we are on separate paths. Not to say that someday we might come back around and give it a run again.
Cindy Meyers – So Charli, have you given any thought as to who you might bring in to replace Millie? Those are some pretty big shoes to fill.
“The MVP” Charli Evans – Yeah, we’ve been kicking this idea around for a while now. Probably as far back as Queen of the Ring when Millie won the Battle Royal. You know, the what if’s that always go through you heads; and we think that right now is the best time to part ways and see where things go. As for who is going to take Millie’s place… there is nobody that can replace my best friend. I’m going to make a few calls and when the time is right, I am going to debut a whole new tag team and I hope we can live up to what Millie and I built together in this women’s tag team division.
The new Women’s General Manager Gail Kim – And if I may just chime in for a second. I have been watching the Empire since it reopened, and I think the that the two of you are two of the best Women’s Tag Teams this company has ever had. Anytime the two of you want to have a reunion, you just say the word and it’s on!!!
Cindy Meyers – Guys, news keeps breaking by the second. If we get any more, I will be back here to fill you in.
[ The show swings back to Pezzer and Mike at the announcer’s table. ]
Mike Godwinn – Talk about a major hit to the Women’s World Tag Team Division Pezzer. The three-time champions have just pulled out from competition and Millie is now strictly a singles competitor.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer - Let’s look at this from a glass half full perspective. We now get Millie McKenzie full time in singles action. That’s great news. We also get a fresh injection of talent into the Women’s Tag team division. I am sure that Charli is going to bring in a top-notch partner. She’s not going to go from one of the best teams in the division to a basement dweller.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, our next match is a big one as the Zealots are in action against Los Vipers. Let’s get right to the action as JoJo is in the ring for the introductions.

Time of match: 0:14:52
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match, the Zealots!!!
Mike Godwinn – Man, what a great match by these two very highly talented teams. This match could have gone either way tonight.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I was really hoping that Los Vipers would have won. That would have really shaken up the Prophecy!!!
Mike Godwinn – Folks, we are finally getting word on the extent of the injuries to Havok. Let’s go backstage and listen in to what the new Women’s General Manager has to say on this hot topic.
[ The cameras swing to the back where we see a very distraught Gail Kim standing next to Cindy Meyers who also looks upset. ]
Cindy Meyers – Gail, thank you for taking the time to join me. I know it’s been a busy night for you so far, but I would like to ask about the condition of Havok. She was seemingly injured at some point during her tag team match against Caged Heat. Where is she now?
The new Women’s General Manager Gail Kim – So, after the match; Havok was taken backstage and was seen by our on-staff physician. After looking at her right leg, it was determined that she would need to be taken to a local hospital for further evaluation to determine the exact extent of the injury.
Cindy Meyers – So it was her right leg. Are we looking at an MCL or ACL tear and how much time might she be looking at being out of action?
The new Women’s General Manager Gail Kim – So, I can confirm that it is her right leg and that’s it’s actually her Achilles tendon. Our medical staff took a look at her and are not sure of the Achilles tendon is possibly just torn or maybe ruptured, but when she gets to the hospital; they will have the equipment on hand to make that determination.
Cindy Meyers – And the amount of time she may be missing?
The new Women’s General Manager Gail Kim – That I am afraid is a broad range. If we are looking at just an Achilles tear, and I’m not downplaying the extent of that injury at all by saying just a tear; we are looking at six to eight weeks before she can get back in the ring. If it’s a rupture, she may be gone for six to eight months.
Cindy Meyers – Definitely not good news for the Women’s Tag Team Division as we just learned tonight that Medusa Complex are going their sperate ways and it may take weeks for Charli to pick a partner. What, if anything; has the ownership group and you have done to bolster the ranks of this depleted division?
The new Women’s General Manager Gail Kim – Mark and I recognize that the Women’s Tag Team Division took a major hit not just only with the release of the Woke Queens, but the untimely break-up of the Canadian Ninjas also due to injury to Portia Perez. That along with the disbanding on Medusa Complex it leaves a number of gaping holes in the tag team division. Mark and I have already reached out to a number of free agent teams on the Indy circuit to try and get them under contract for the remainder of the year along with reaching out to other federations about a talent swap of some form. We do have a number of tag teams under consideration, and we hope to have a few signings in the next few weeks.
Cindy Meyers – Thank you Gail, and please keep us posted on any other news regarding Havok.
The new Women’s General Manager Gail Kim – I’ll be sure to keep everyone up to date. I know that she has a huge fanbase that right now are praying for her quick recovery.
Cindy Meyers – Thank you Gail. Guys, back to you.
[ The show cuts back to Pezzer and Mike at the announcer’s table. ]
Mike Godwinn – Obviously we do not know the full extent of Havok’s injuries, but from what we can surmise from what Gail is describing it seems that she will be on the shelf for the foreseeable future.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Man, that sucks for both Bloody Mary and especially Havok. Those two women have come so far in the tag team division just to be derailed by a freak injury is heartbreaking for them.
Mike Godwinn – We both wish Havok a speedy recovery and can’t wait to see her back in the ring. Folks, it’s time for the women’s division to take center stage as Maria Manic takes on the red hot Holidead. Let’s rejoin JoJo already in the ring.

Mike Godwinn – Folks, let’s take it to the back as our very own Cindy Meyers is standing by with the United States Champion Tank Edge!!!
[ The show swings to the back where we see Cindy Meyers standing next to the United States Heavyweight Champion Tank Edge. ]
Cindy Meyers – Tank, earlier tonight Go-D asked you once again to join his Legacy faction and once again you emphatically said no. He also said that one way or another the United States Heavyweight title will come to Legacy. What’s your reaction to that bold statement?
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – What’s my reaction? I look at it like this, it’s just Dave running his mouth again writing checks that he knows he can’t cash. We all know that he’s been in my shadow for years chasing me. We all know that he was jealous of me… and we all know that he could never beat me.
Cindy Meyers – What about that challenge? Would you put your title on the line against him?
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – Yeah, I’ll put my US title on the line… if he puts his World title on the line. But I bet he won’t!!! I bet he’s too chicken shit to put his strap on the line. You see, he doesn’t want to face me. He just wants the belt.
[ Tank looks directly into the camera. ]
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – Dave, you want my belt you can have it. But we aren’t doing this without you sacrificing something too. Let’s make this for Stable wars. Tank versus Go-D in a Unification match!!! Title for title!!! I bet you don’t have the balls.
[ Just then, Travis Blake walks onto the set and Tank is ready to attack him when Shane McMahon walks onto the set behind him. ]

The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – Are you stepping up little man?
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Stepping up? Aren’t you a funny old man? You’re damn right I’m stepping up. I’ve earned my title shot. I deserve this title shot and I’m taking that belt from you.
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – Boy, you picked the wrong day to piss me off!!!
[ Shane steps between them with a smile on his face. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Easy Tank. Maybe it’s time to get your blood pressure checked by our doctor. I would hate to have to medically strip you of that title.
The United States Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Tank Edge – Do your best.
The CEO of the Empire and Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Don’t worry, I will. But getting back to all these title demands flying around, I think our boy here has a great idea. At Stable Wars, it won’t be you versus Go-D in a title unification match… it’s going to be you versus Travis Blake for the United States Heavyweight title!!!
“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Told yah. You can’t dodge the inevitable old man. “The Face of the Empire” is coming for the hardware.
[ Travis tosses Tank the Gauntlet of the Gods… ]
