Afterburn
Live from the sold-out T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada
Thursday Night October 14th, 2021
8:00pm EST
[ The shows opens with the Titantron showing the Empires new promo video package with all the stars of the Empire like Alexander Stone hitting his Stonebreaker, Tank Edge locking on his Recliner, Amber Nova punishing someone with her Nova Driver Travis Blake nailing someone with the Weapon X!!! We see Dick Togo leading his new Japanese death squad made up of Kahagas, Shinigami Shogun and Rasputin Ito. The Bullet Club led by Travis Blake blasts across the big screen as well as Go-D leading his Legacy team. 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 and thank you for tuning in to Afterburn tonight. My name is Mike Godwinn and I am joined by Empire Hall of Famer and the self-proclaimed “Living Legend” Pezzer. Pezz, what a crazy night of action we all witnessed Monday night on Adrenaline. Shane McMahon started the night off making not one but two huge announcements in regards to the upcoming “All Hallows Evil” pay per view event on October thirty-first.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – What a night it’s going to be. Monday night Shane announced that All Hallows Evil is going to be held under “Spin the Wheel, Make a Deal” rules. For those of you that never heard of that concept; what it means is that before each match, either Shane or Gail will spin this giant wheel with dozens of different types of hardcore matches on it. Wherever the wheel stops, that’s the type of match we will see. The possibilities are endless.
Mike Godwinn – Just thinking about what we might see that night is mind blowing. But that’s not all. Shane also announced, with the help of Godzilla Sanchez; that the main event will be a “Trick or Treat” match. Some companies also call it a “Feast or Fired” match but it is the same concept. Three briefcases will be hung from poles in three of the ring corners. Four men will compete to grab those cases and the one man that doesn’t grab a case, well he’s immediately fired!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – This is massive news because two of the four men in that match are former World Champions in Alexander Stone and Prophet. Another is the longest reigning United States Heavyweight Champion Tito Escobar and the last man is the wild card in Godzilla Sanchez. Three men get title shots and one gets terminated.
Mike Godwinn – What a way to close out what should be a massive pay per view event, but that’s not all. We also learned that Shane McMahon agreed to let S.E.X. have their rematch against the Heartbreakers after their repeated failed attempts to sway Gail Kim’s mind.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Man you have to give these gals credit. They worked hard to get what they wanted and like Shane said, people will do whatever it takes to get what they want.
Mike Godwinn – Those two women had sex with Lance Storm and Mike Sanders to get their title shot!!! That’s what you call earning your title shot? Folks, Monday night we also saw the long-awaited return of the former World Heavyweight Champion Alexander Stone as he was seen backstage attacking Tanga Loa and then after the Bullet Clubs match later in the night he also came down to the ring and attacked Tama Tonga.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I can’t wait to see Travis Blake and Alexander Stone climb back in the ring again...
[ The crowd explodes to their feet booing as “Scars that I'm Hiding" by Ashes to New rocks the arena and the United States Heavyweight Champion Travis Blake walks out on stage with his US title slung over his right shoulder and his World Six-man Tag Team championship belt slung over his left shoulder. The Women’s World Champion Amber Nova walks out with him holding his hand and you can see her Women’s World title is wrapped around her waist and her Women’s National title is slung over her right shoulder. A few steps behind them are the Guerillas of Destiny, with their World Six-man Tag Team championship belts around their waists. Behind them comes the Mean Girls as they fling their hair and make disgusted looks at the not-so well-off fans. Last but not least, out walks Paul Heyman with a huge shit eating grin on his face. ]
Mike Godwinn – Here we go again Pezzer. I knew it wouldn’t be long before we heard from the self-proclaimed “Face of the Empire”.
[ Travis slowly climbs the ring steps and comes to a stop on the ring apron overlooking the sold-out audience as they reign down the boos on them. He grins as he sits down on the middle rope and pushes up the top rope with his shoulder. Amber kisses him as she steps through the ropes followed by her girls Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay. Travis then himself steps through the ropes and climbs to the middle turnbuckle where he raises both of his title belts high in the air for all to see. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Travis Blake has become our very first dual champion on the men’s side of the locker room and he now joins Amber Nova as dual champions!!! This is a hell of a feat by each of these individuals.
Mike Godwinn – Let’s just put an asterix by both of those title wins, because he did have a substantial amount of assistance winning them.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – What are you saying?
Mike Godwinn – You were there, you tell me.
[ Travis leans against the ropes and motions for JoJo to hand him the mic. She doesn’t hesitate at all and hands it to him not wanting to piss him off. Travis taps the head of the mic and smiles as it thud... thud... thuds... and the crowd boos him even louder as he does it just to piss them off. ]
Mike Godwinn – Can we just get on with this already? He’s wasting valuable time.
[ Travis looks down at the announcers table and sees Pezzer sitting there and he nods and winks at him as the boos continue to reign down on him. ]
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Love me or hate me, there’s no denying that I am “The Face of the Empire” baby!!! That we are collectively, the greatest group of men and women ever to assemble under the Empire’s banner!!! I am your new United States Heavyweight champion!!! I beat the unbeatable Tank Edge!!! The monster... the Ring General... the has been... the washed-up fool that thought he had any chance against a man of my talent!!!
[ The crowd boos as they chant... ]
The sold-out crowd – “You suck!!! You suck!!! You suck!!!
[ Travis grins... ]
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Look at us people. Take a good long look at the future of your company and bask in our glory!!! Amber Nova!!! The best women’s wrestler on the roster!!! The Guerillas of Destiny!!! Tag Team Champions!!! The Mean Girls!!! The baddest girls on the Women’s Tag Team roster!!! We are your future so you better learn to embrace it!!! Now, we couldn’t have gotten this far without a helping hand of a few people; and right now, we want to recognize them for that.
[ Travis looks down at Pezzer. ]
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Pezzer, if you don’t mind; come into the ring please.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – What? Me?
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – That’s right Pezz. Come on into the ring and join us.
Mike Godwinn – I’m not sure this is a good idea right now. You’re walking into the lion’s den my friend.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Hold down the fort partner. I’ll be right back.
[ Pezzer removes his headset and tosses it on the desk. He walks over to the ring and climbs the steps stopping on the ring apron looking at the very ominous group in-front of him. ]
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – It’s ok, we’re cool. You’re amongst friends tonight.
[ And Travis opens his arms wide and grins at him. Pezzer steps through the ropes and climbs into the ring standing just feet away from a pack of hungry wolves. ]
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Pezzer, we know what you did for us at Stable Wars and we just wanted to thank you.
[ Pezzer smiles as he points to himself seemingly surprised. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Thanks me?
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – That’s right. We, the Bullet Club; recognize what you did for us at Stable Wars when you came down to the ring during our match with Edge Legacy. Now, just in-case people were wondering; we had that match well in hand and we really didn’t need your help; but I digress.
[ Travis motions toward Paul Heyman who hands Travis an official “Bullet Club” tee-shirt that can be only be bought on EmpireShop.com!!! Travis unravels the shirt and hangs it wide open so everyone in the arena can see it. ]
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – On behalf of the Bullet Club, we would like to make you an honorary member!!!
[ Pezzer smiles like he just won the lottery. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Me? An honorary member?
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – That’s right buddy. Welcome to God’s greatest stable!!!
[ Pezzer quickly takes the tee-shirt and puts it on hugging Travis and thanking him. ]
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – I’m glad you like it. You earned it. But at Stable Wars, you weren’t the only guy that showed me that he’s Bullet Club material. Big Sexy, I know you’re back there so come on out!!!
[ The sound of a wolf howling echoes throughout the arena and the crowd explodes to their feet booing as “The nWo Wolfpack” theme rocks the arena and “Big Sexy” Kevin Nash struts out from the back with a shit eating grin on his face. ]
Mike Godwinn – Is Travis Blake about to offer Kevin Nash a spot in the Bullet Club too?
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Come-on “Big Kev”, don’t be shy. Get out here baby.
[ Nash slowly walks down to the ring being blasted by the boos. He climbs the ring steps and then steps over the top rope entering the ring as most of the Bullet Club back off giving him space. All but Travis Blake, who just stands in the center of the ring showing no fear. Nash walks over to JoJo and asks for his own mic and she hands him one. He checks the switch to make sure it’s on and looks back at Travis. ]
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Big Kev... it’s ok I call you Big Kev, right? Or do you prefer Nash... Diesel...Big Daddy Cool... maybe Master Blaster Steel, that was one of my favorites; no, no, no what about the Great Oz?
[ Nash doesn’t look amused... ]
The Empire Hall of Famer Kevin Nash – You can call me Kevin and let’s cut the bullshit and get right down to brass takes here. If you called me out here to give me some shitty tee-shirt and a pick-up line like you did this dweeb...
[ And he points right at Pezzer who doesn’t appreciate that. ]
The Empire Hall of Famer Kevin Nash – ...you can save your breadth.
[ Pezzer takes the mic from Travis... ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Now hold on one God damn minute!!! Who the hell are you calling...
[ The crowd boos again as “Unforgiven” by Creed rocks the arena as the World Heavyweight Champion Go-D, along with Mike Thompson, Chris Simmons and the Thrillers walk out on stage in force. As one, they march down to the ring and climb in. ]
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer!!! Pezzer get out of there!!! You don’t want any part of this!!!
[ Go-D walks past JoJo and grabs his own mic and they all climb into the ring never taking their eyes off of the Bullet Club. Travis smiles as the odds have just evened up with Nash standing in the middle of the ring center stage. Pezzer climbs out of the ring and heads back to the broadcast table and puts his headset back on. ]
Mike Godwinn – Welcome back partner, the water get a little too hot for you?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I would help them out, but I think they will be fine without me.
[ Go-D, with his World Heavyweight title slung over his right shoulder walks right up to Travis and glares at his two title belts that are hanging off each of his shoulders. Travis shows no fear as he too glares at the World title that Go-D holds. ]
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Hey Champ, come to see how the big boys party?
[ Go-D points at his face. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D - Eyes up here when I’m talking to you.
[ Travis chuckles as he looks Go-D in the eyes. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – You need to understand something boy, the only reason you all hold those belts you so proudly carry on your shoulders is because Legacy helped you!!! Who do you think it was that told Big Sexy here to come down to the ring during your match with Tank, huh? It was me!!! And why do you think Pezzer climbed up onto that ring apron during your match against Edge Legacy? It was because he wants to be part of us!!!
[ Travis looks down at Pezzer who seems just as shocked as Travis does. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I don’t know what he’s talking about!!! I’m Bullet Club all the way!!!
Mike Godwinn – You’re in deep doodoo now my friend.
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – You’re full of shit and you know it. We had both of those matches won. We didn’t need your help in neither of them. In-fact, wasn’t it you that dodged a match at the pay per view? Oh yeah, Shane’s covering for you right? Picking and choosing the guys you defend your title against? Must be nice to have daddy watching your back?
[ Go-d gets irate and bumps heads with Travis. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Listen to me you little shit, without me; there would be no you. Without me, there would be no Bullet Club. Without me, there would be no Empire. Without me...
[ The crowd explodes to their feet as “Hyperpower” by Nine Inch Nails blares across the arena and Alexander Stone marches down to the ring. He grabs a mic from JoJo as he climbs into the ring, taking off his jacket and sunglasses; and tosses them to the floor!!! He marches right up to Go-D and Travis with hate in his eyes. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – I’m not sure who I want to beat more right now, you...
[ And he looks right at Travis... ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Or you!!!
[ And he looks right at Go-D. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Power down big man. You’ve got no clue who your fucking with!!!
[ Stone chuckles thinking that’s the funniest shit he’s heard all night. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – I know exactly who you are Dave. You’re the guy who’s got his head buried so far up Shane’s ass he can see what he ate for dinner. You’re the guy that barely beat some jobber last week in Australia. What was his name again? Bowser, was it? You’re lucky Godzilla screwed up that lottery drawing because I was betting you weren’t walking out champion that night!!!
[ Go-D chest bumps Stone. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – You better watch what comes out of your mouth next because I’m about to shut it permanently!!!
[ Stone laughs at him... ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Send your boys to the back and I’ll be glad to kick your ass...
[ The crowd explodes to their feet booing as “Here comes the Money!!!” rocks the arena and the CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon walks out on stage and marches down to the ring. ]
Mike Godwinn – Here comes the boss and he doesn’t look happy.
[ Shane climbs into the ring and marches right up to Go-D, Travis and Stone. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – That’s enough!!! All of you!!! We are not doing this tonight!!! In fact, we are not doing this until I say we are so...
[ The sold-out audience crowd explode to their feet cheering as "Get Out of My Way" by Cowboy Mouth explodes throughout the arena!!! Shane looks back up the rampway, mouth wide expecting Reverend Snow; but it’s Psycho Messiah that jumps the guardrail and dives under the bottom rope. ]
Mike Godwinn – Psycho Messiah just lured Shane in and he bit hook line and sinker!!!
[ Psycho Messiah tackles Shane from behind and takes him down. Stone takes advantage of the distraction and tackles Travis to the mat. All hell breaks loose in the ring as both factions go at it until security rushes the ring to break them apart. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – This is crazy Mike!!! Shane really thought that Reverend Snow was going to walk down that ramp tonight and while he had his back turned, Psycho Messiah jumped him from behind!!!
Mike Godwinn – Folks, while we sort this mess in the ring out; our very own Cindy Meyers is standing by with the former TV champion Raven Horse who tonight has the monumental task of facing Alexander Stone. Take it away Cindy.
[ The cameras pan to the back where a very upbeat Cindy Meyers is standing by with Raven Horse. ]
Cindy Meyers – Raven Horse, it’s been a very trying few months for you. First, you fell below the cut line and then failed to win the Last Chance Battle Royal. Lucky for you though, Reverend Azazel found a loophole and was able to save your job by teaming you with the Natural Disasters in the Six-man Tag Team division.
Raven Horse – Trying? I call it shitty. These past few months couldn’t have been worse actually. I was at the top of my game and then that son of a bitch Psycho Messiah came along and ruined everything!!! He’s the reason I had to team with those fat bastards. He’s the reason I almost got fired!!!
Cindy Meyers – It seems a little dramatic that you would blame Psycho Messiah for all your troubles when on numerous occasions you either walked out on matches or were disqualified.
Raven Horse – Don’t you see, I did what I had to do!!! To preserve my title reign.
Cindy Meyers – Let’s just changed topics for a moment, shall we? Last week, it has been reported; that you went to Shane McMahon and you begged for your job back.
[ Raven Horse looks irritated. ]
Raven Horse – Begged for my job back? Where do you get your fake news? It’s all lies!!! I asked for another chance, and he gave me a shot tonight to win my spot back.
Cindy Meyers – That’s true. If you defeat Alexander Stone, Shane has promised you your roster spot back.
Raven Horse – If? There is no if!!! I’m going to wrap hand around his throat and make his ass tap out to the Halo!!!
[ Raven Horse storms off the set pissed off as the show cuts back to Mike and Pezzer at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn - Raven Horse really needs to get his head examined if he thinks that Psycho Messiah had anything to do with him falling below the cut line!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – He’s even crazier to think that he’s got any chance against Alexander Stone. I would be willing to bet Raven Horse doesn’t last five minutes tonight!!!
Mike Godwinn – Folks, so much has happened tonight and our first match is just about to get underway. Let’s go to the ring as Solo Darling takes on Shanna Furguson!!!
Solo Darling vs Shanna Furguson
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making her way to the ring; she weighs in at 155 lbs., she is the former Women’s National Champion; this is… “The Beast” Shanna Furguson!!!
[ The crowd boos as “The Trainer Battle” of the Pokémon Guitar Cover plays and Shanna storms down to the ring, bare foot and dressed in her UFC garb. She dives under the bottom rope and starts to pace around like a mad woman. ]
Mike Godwinn – This is a huge top contender’s match as Shanna comes into this match with a nine and nine record and is ranked fifth for the Women’s World title.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Shanna is a huge part of this women’s division and a win tonight over Solo darling could propel her into another title match against whomever is the champion after All Hallows Evil!!!
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And her opponent!! Making her way to the ring weighing in at 122 lbs., she is the former Women’s National Champion; this is… Solo Darling!!!
[ The crowd gives her a mixed reaction as “Feel the Sting” by Kenny & Harley Wootton rocks the arena and Solo walks out on stage. She makes her way down to the ring where she climbs in with a serious and determined look on her face. ]
Mike Godwinn – Let’s just rewind for a minute. Before she teamed with Reverend Azazel Solo was on a horrible losing streak. Since siding with the Reverend, she went on to win the Women’s National title. Tonight, she has her first match since Azazel was exiled from the Devil’s Rejects.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Solo is eight and seven right now and is ranked third right behind Kiera Hogan and Millie McKenzie. For her, a win tonight can also solidify a future title shot. This, is a pay per view quality match-up.

“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match, Shanna Furguson!!!
Mike Godwinn – Amazing match by both women tonight, but it is Shanna who came out on top with the Beast Slayer!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Very good win for Shanna tonight and it should make her third in the rankings right behind Kiera and Millie.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, while the match was going on Gail Kim had a confrontation with the Women’s World Tag Team Champions the Heartbreakers. Let’s go back and see what happened.
[ The scene replays and we see the Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim walking the halls. The Women’s World Tag Team Champions the Heartbreakers stop her and they don’t look happy. ]
One third of the Women’s World Tag Team Champion Nattie Neidhart – Hey, we need to know what the hell is going on? We wanted to face the best this division has to offer at the pay per view. You agreed with us. Why did you allow S.E.X. to get their rematch?
[ Gail looks at them confused. ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Listen, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I never signed them to face you.
One third of the Women’s World Tag Team Champion Shotzi Blackheart – Well someone did and the last I checked there’s only two of you that can book matches, right?
[ The lightbulb goes off in Gail’s head... ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Shane!!! Don’t worry, I’ll handle this!!!
[ Gail rushes off as the show swings back to Pezzer and Mike at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn – I get the distinct feeling that Gail had no idea that Shane signed that championship rematch.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Yeah and I get the feeling that she had no idea what they did to get that title shot. I bet the Thrillers were pretty satisfied with what they got out of it.
Mike Godwinn – I saw Lance Storm and Mike Sanders earlier today and they still had huge smiles on their faces. Folks, Dick Togo along with Kahagas and Yumi no Kuni are in the ring. We are finally going to hear from these guys as to why they turned on Tank Edge on Afterburn right here last week.
[ Yumi no Kuni stand in the ring in new Shinigami samurai armor as Dick Togo and Kahagas stand in opposite corners Shinigami Shogun takes off his mask and holds up a microphone. ]
Shinigami Shogun - Last week, we turned on Tank and surprisingly, few wondered why. You see Tank, I tried to tell you this is how everyone sees you. Conner and Maverick may go by Edge Legacy, but the true legacy of you is deceit and betrayal.
[ The crowd boos this. ]
Shinigami Shogun - The fact is Tank, we left our homes in Japan because you said you needed people you could trust, and that's always been us. When we came out of the dojo, we had no idea what to do or who we were, and you gave us that Tank. You were my brother Tank. I gladly was your number two. But then when Godzilla showed up, I told you he was bad for us, but you ignored me. Then your kid showed up, I told you to send him back, and let me send the other one to the grave, but you ignored me again. I told you to focus on Travis Blake, let Ness handle Japan, trust us to handle Legacy, but you couldn't let it go and refused to listen to me. Your friend, your top man, your brother and you stopped listening. Well now maybe you'll start listening.
[ He turns to Dick Togo who has a cocky look on his face. Shogun slaps him hard across the face. Togo falls down and looks shocked. ]
Shinigami Shogun - This had nothing to do with you Togo and don't you think this is your doing. I was a leader in Sensha-Gun, but I had one I still answered to. The shogun were leaders, I follow no man anymore. This is the time I take the lead. this is The New Regime! This is the time of the Shinigami Shogun. And anyone who stands against me...
[ Before he can finish, Godzilla hits him from behind with a steel chair, he crashes into Togo and goes out of the ring, Kahagas comes at Godzilla but he spits mist in his eyes and then smashes him with the chair. Rasputin comes at Godzilla but Godzilla gets him with the mist as well and hits him with the chair. Shogun and Togo slide into the ring and Godzilla bails, he runs to the commentary table, hops on it and dropkicks his chair into Pezzer's face. Godzilla grabs a mic and stands on the announce table. ]
Godzilla Sanchez - You may not want to be Tank's brother anymore but that also makes me no longer your pseudo nephew and that means, next week, you versus me in that ring, with Pezzer handcuffed to a toilet in the public restroom.
[ He tosses the chair onto Pezzer and jumps off the announce table and nails Pezzer with the Goodbye Tokyo (top rope double stomp). ]
Mike Godwinn – Oh my God!!! Oh my God we need help out here!!! We need help!!!
[ Pezzer twitches on the floor like a fish out of water as EMT’s rush down to the ringside area. The cuts to the backstage area where we see Gail Kim powerwalking through the halls. She marches right up to the office of Shane McMahon and storms right in without knocking. Shane pops up from behind his desk, thinking maybe Psycho Messiah was coming for him again. The Thrillers walk out from a back room adjusting their pants, not ready for any kind of fight. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Jesus Christ Gail, what the fuck? You know Psycho Messiah has been trying to get his hands on me. Next time knock!!!
[ Gail could give two shits about his problems with Psycho Messiah as she jabs her finger in his face. ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – What the hell are you doing signing S.E.X. to a rematch at All Hallows Evil? Those are my girls!!!
[ Shane rolls his eyes. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Jesus Christ Gail, calm down.
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Calm down? You want me to calm down? How about you keep your nose out of my divisions business!!!
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – You wouldn’t grant them their contractually obligated rematch, so I made a deal with them.
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Made a deal? This is my division!!! Mark put me in-charge of the Women’s division!!!
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Then I suggest you do a better job at it then.
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – You wanna make a match for my girls, then I want to make a match at the pay per view with your boys.
[ Shane laughs at her. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – You’re crazy. You need to stay in your lane Gail.
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – You screwed me, Shane. Now you either let me book a match with your boys at the pay per view, or I’m going to go to Mark and we will let him settle this.
[ Shane knows she’s serious so he folds... ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Fine!!! Go ahead and do your best, because God knows you haven’t done so good so far.
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – I’m going to make you eat your words. At All Hallows Evil, it’s going to be Psycho Messiah versus YOU!!!
[ Shane is at a loss for words as his mouth is wide open. Suddenly, S.E.X. walks out of the back room fixing their hair and clothes and wiping their mouths. Gail looks at them like she wants to throw up... ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – You’re disgusting.
[ Gail storms out of Shane office as he swipes his arm across his desk swiping all his paperwork to the floor!!! ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Fuck!!!
[ The show swings back to the announcers table where we see Mike Godwinn sitting with his new broadcast partner for the rest of the night “The Mexican Sensation” Caristico!!!
Mike Godwinn – Ladies and gentlemen, I am now joined by my new broadcast partner Caristico after that brutal assault by Godzilla Sanchez on Pezzer just minutes ago.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – That’s right Mike. Lucky for you I was backstage tonight watching the show when Pezzer was viscously attacked by Godzilla in a fit of rage. We are watching first hand as Tank Edge’s team is falling apart right in-front of our eyes!!!

“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match, the Zealots!!!
Mike Godwinn – What a great match we just saw as the Zealots solidified their number one spot in the rankings and hope to have a date soon against the New Regime for the World Tag Team championship!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – It’s not a matter of if they will get their match with the New Regime, it’s a matter of when. That’s a pay per view quality match in my book.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, let’s go to the back where Cindy Meyers is standing by with Gail Kim.
[ The show cuts to the back where Cindy Meyers is standing by with the Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim. ]
Cindy Meyers – Gail, we learned tonight that S.E.X. will get their rematch for the Women’s World Tag Team Championship as they will face the champions the Heartbreakers at All Hallows Evil now.
[ Gail rolls her eyes. ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – This is not what I had planned. I told Katie and Spice that they needed to earn their rematch, but they decided to earn it... well they earned it in a very different manner than I had thought they would.
Cindy Meyers – With Amber Nova defeating Courtney Cox, the Number One Contendership for the Women’s National Championship is wide open. Malia Hosaka has been asking for a title shot for weeks now. Are you going to grant her that request?
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Listen, we have some very good female wrestlers that deserve title shots and one being Shanna Furguson who we watched defeat Solo Darling...
[ Malia Hosaka walks onto the set and she looks pissed. ]
Malia Hosaka – Now why is it every time I ask for a title shot, people like you dodge the question. I’ve been here for what, eight months now and I have watched just about everyone get a title shot before me!!! Eight months Gail!!! Eight long months!!! Name one person on this roster that has been here as long as I have and has yet to receive a title shot!!!
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Malia, I get it. But you’ve seen what Amber has done to all those women. You’re fifty-one years old. She’s running through women half your age!!!
[ Malia snickers... ]
Malia Hosaka – So let me get this right. It’s an age thing...
[ Gail nods her head no... ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – No!!!, No, I never said it was because of you age. I said, she has beaten up women half your age. I just don’t think it’s the right time to...
Malia Hosaka – Time? In-case you forgot, I’m fifty-one. I’m running out of time. If I’m going to make an impact, I need to do it now!!!
[ Lady Edge walks onto the set with a serious and determined look on her face. ]
Lady Edge – You wanna make an impact?
Malia Hosaka – You’re damn right I do.
Lady Edge – Then team up with me at All Hallows Evil and help me beat the shit out of the Mean Girls!!!
[ Malia smirks as she nods her head yes. ]
Malia Hosaka – If it gets me closer to the Women’s National title, then I’m in.
[ They fist bump each other as the show swings back to Caristico and Mike at the broadcast table. ]
Mike Godwinn – Another huge match just signed for the pay per view as Malia and Lady Edge are going to team up to face the JV Bullet Club members the Mean Girls.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This is going to be another huge match for the pay per view, but I do think that Gail is dodging her request to face Amber for the Women’s National Championship.
Mike Godwinn – It sure does seem that way doesn’t it. Folks, it’s time for another big tag team match as S.E.X. takes on Blue Nation. It was just about three weeks ago when S.E.X. defeated Blue Nation. Tonight, Blue Nation asked for this rematch and it was granted. Let’s go back to the ring for the introductions.

Mike Godwinn – You know, watching these two women in the ring is kind of appealing right now.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Before you get any ideas Mike, you better get your shot records updated. You never know what nasty infections you can get.

Mike Godwinn – Blue Nation come into this match with a one and two record with losses to Bloody Mary and Havok along with the team they are facing tonight.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The Heartbreakers have just walked out on stage!!!

Cindy Meyers – DDP, nice win at Stable Wars over a very tough opponent in Chandler Hopkins.
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – The kid’s tough, I give him that. But he’s not as tough as me. I might be one of the older guys in this company, but my heart is bigger than any of them.
Cindy Meyers – Looking back at Stable Wars, it was Marc Fulton who came out right after your match and challenged you to a TV title match saying that he’s next. In the past week you have attacked him hitting him with the Diamond Cutter. Is that your way of telling him that you accept his challenge?
[ Page nods his head no. ]
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – No, that wasn’t my answer. That was a wake-up call to the biggest dummy on the roster. Listen Cindy, he doesn’t want any part of me. This isn’t the fight he wants right now.

“The Madman” Marc Fulton – I called you out and all you can do is hit me from behind? Stop being a bitch Page and face me like a man. Give me a shot at your TV title, or are you just too much of a pussy now to face me.
[ Page smiles as he looks up at Fulton. ]
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – Big talk for a guy that got his ass kicked by Ace Sky in what, ten seconds?
[ Fulton’s face gets beat red. ]
“The Madman” Marc Fulton – That was fucking fluke and everyone knows it.
[ Page waves him off not really wanting to hear his excuses. ]
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – Whatever, whatever jack. Everyone has bad nights.
“The Madman” Marc Fulton – It wasn’t a bad night!!! I got screwed.
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – Sure you did ace.
[ And just the mention of Ace Sky’s name makes Marc’s blood boil. ]
“The Madman” Marc Fulton – Are you going to give me that title shot or not?
[ And Fulton jams his finger into the TV title belt that sends a jolt of pain into Page’s arthritic shoulder. He winces in pain when Ace Sky walks onto the set with a huge smile on his face. ]
Ace Sky – Whoa, whoa, whoa; slow your roll angry bird. What makes you think you deserve any title shot? I beat your ass last week, so if anyone deserves a title shot; it’s me!!!
[ Ace smiles as he looks at Marc and then at Page. ]
Ace Sky – What? If you’re going to give this big douche a title shot, then I want a title shot.
[ Page looks at both of them. ]
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – You can both kiss my ass. You both don’t deserve shit in my book.
[ Page walks off the set not wanting to deal with either of these two guys as the show cuts back to Caristico and Mike at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn – Page may be the TV champion right now, but he can’t dodge the top contenders forever. At some point he’s going to have to face someone like it or not.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I don’t think Page fears either of these guys. I just think that he’s playing it very strategically. Let these guys beat the shit out of each other and then Page will pick the bones of whoever is left standing.
Mike Godwinn – I would love to see either of these guys take on page at the pay per view. Folks, it’s time for our six-man tag team match as Legacy comes off a tough loss at Stable Wars and now has to face a very daunting Million Dollar Dream Team who right now sit in the number three hole. JoJo, take it away kid.
Legacy vs The Million Dollar Dream Team
“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 being accompanied by “Big Sexy” Kevin Nash, they weigh in at a combined weight of 722 lbs., “The Messiah” Chris Simmons, “Crazy Man” Mike Thompson and the World Heavyweight Champion Go-D, they are… Legacy!!!
[ “Unforgiven” by Creed rocks the arena as Empire Hall of Famers Go-D, Kevin Nash, Crazy Man and the Messiah walk out on stage to the roar of the sold-out crowd!!! As one, they march down to the ring and climb in. ]
Mike Godwinn – Legacy has not had much luck in the six-man tag team division as they are oh and one with two draws placing them seventh out of the eight teams in the division.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Legacy is a tough team to deal with right now as they not only added Kevin Nash back at Stable Wars but they also brought in the Thrillers to back them up. It’s just a matter of time if we see any of them in action or if they are just going to be hired muscle for the team.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring weighing in at a combined weight of 658 lbs, Jake and Dave Anderson along with Tony Tran... they are the Million Dollar Dream Team!!!
[ The crowd goes crazy booing as "Let's Go All the Way" by Insane Clown Posse rocks the arena as the two brothers strut out on stage and make their way down to the ring led by the egotistical Tony Tran. ]
Mike Godwinn – The Million Dollar Dream Team comes into this match with a one and one record and they are currently ranked third in their division. If you’re asking me truthfully, the Golden BoyZ were better off without Tran.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Yeah, Tony is a sweet talker and he can sell you anything. But bullshit can only take you so far and Tony is full of it. Just look at his singles record. It’s pretty pathetic if you ask me. I’m hoping at some point the Golden BoyZ can see through his shit.
[ Simmons and Tran start the match off and they know each other pretty well from the past. They lock up and Chris Simmons throws Tony Tran out of the ring and jumps onto him with a baseball slide. ...1 ...Chris Simmons launches Tony Tran into the steel ringsteps. ...2 ...Go-D comes over to make it two-on-one. Dave Anderson comes over, but gets cut off.

Chris Simmons then locks Tony Tran in a sleeperhold. Todd Sinclair checks Tony Tran's arm. He lifts it... it falls!!! He lifts it... it falls!!! He lifts it... it stays up!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – If there was ever a weak spot on the Million Dollar Dream Team it is by far and away Tony Tran. He’s in desperate need to tag out to a fresh man.
[ Tony Tran fights his way out of the hold and hits a dropkick on Chris Simmons. Tony Tran frantically covers Chris Simmons as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...and Simmons kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – You can see the desperation in Tony Tran tonight as he did everything that he could to roll Messiah up but all he got was a one count.
[ Tony Tran tries a powerslam into the turnbuckles, but Chris Simmons counters it with a Yakuza kick. Chris Simmons drives a slap onto Tony Tran’s chest blistering it. Chris Simmons tags out to Go-D.

Dave Anderson gets a forearm choke on Go-D in the corner as Todd Sinclair warns Dave Anderson to let go. Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...and he lets go before he is DQ’d. ]
Mike Godwinn – It looks like Dave Anderson has had enough of Legacy and he nearly cost his team the match tonight with that illegal chokehold in the corner.
[ Dave Anderson goes for a standing dropkick, but Go-D ducks out of the way. Go-D tags out to Chris Simmons. Chris Simmons and Go-D whip Dave Anderson into the ropes and they hit Dave Anderson with a double kick to the midsection. Tony Tran enters the ring, but gets cut off. Chris Simmons and Go-D whip Dave Anderson into the ropes and they hit Dave Anderson with a double armbar takedown. Go-D leaves the ring. Dave Anderson uses an eye gouge on Chris Simmons. Dave Anderson goes for a spear, but Chris Simmons counters it with a kneelift right to the face. Chris Simmons uses an armdrag takedown on Dave Anderson. Chris Simmons kicks Dave Anderson. Chris Simmons tags out to Mike Thompson. Tony Tran enters the ring and lays out Chris Simmons. Dave Anderson and Tony Tran whip Mike Thompson into the ropes and they hit him with a double kick to the midsection. Tony Tran leaves the ring.

Mike Thompson whips Dave Anderson into the ropes and Mike Thompson hits Dave Anderson with a clothesline. Mike Thompson is going for the cover as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...and Dave Anderson kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I feel that the longer this match goes, the more it favors Legacy. These guys are just too good to be left hanging around. You have to put them away early if you’re going to beat them.
[ Chris Simmons enters the ring to make it two-on-one. Mike Thompson and Chris Simmons whip Dave Anderson into the ropes and they attempt to hit Dave Anderson with a double kick to the midsection, but he counters it with a double clothesline.

Dave Anderson springs to his feet and nails Mike Thompson with a backbreaker. Dave Anderson puts Mike Thompson in a forearm choke against the ropes as Todd Sinclair warns Dave Anderson to let go. Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...and he lets go before he is disqualified. ]
Mike Godwinn – Someone needs to get in the ear of Dave Anderson and tell him to calm the hell down!!! He’s on a very short leash right now with the referee!!!
[ Dave Anderson goes for a headsmash into the turnbuckle, but Mike Thompson blocks it. Mike Thompson elbows Dave Anderson. Mike Thompson punches Dave Anderson. Mike Thompson hits a swinging neckbreaker on Dave Anderson. Mike Thompson rolls Dave Anderson up as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Dave Anderson kicks out!!! ]

Time of match: 0:07:06
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match, Legacy!!!
Mike Godwinn – Great win tonight by Legacy as they too set their sights on not only getting their World Tag Team titles back, but the six-man tag team titles to boot.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This team is very dangerous. Don’t take their age for granted Mike. These guys can overcome their age. They already proved that.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, I am getting word that Prophet is standing by backstage. Let’s listen in to what the former World Champion has to say.
[ The show cuts to the back where we see Prophet sitting in-front of an altar, arms raised and candles burning as his precious Book of Prophecy is open sitting on a dais open to a certain page. He slowly opens his eyes and sees the camera zooming in on him. ]
“The Modern-Day Messiah” The Chose One” Prophet – Chandler, I am a reasonable man. I forgive you for what you did to me last week.
[ He pauses. ]
“The Modern-Day Messiah” The Chose One” Prophet – Pulling my pants down in the middle of the ring so that everyone around the world could see my naked bottom.
[ Another pause. ]
“The Modern-Day Messiah” The Chose One” Prophet – Hitting me in the back with the Wrangler.
[ He closes his eyes... ]
“The Modern-Day Messiah” The Chose One” Prophet – Ripping my precious book in half!!!
[ He opens his eyes and glares into the camera. ]
“The Modern-Day Messiah” The Chose One” Prophet – I am a very understanding man. I understand that we have come to an impasse. I understand that you no longer believe in the ways of the Prophecy. I understand that you wish to leave our happy family. So, I propose this. Next Thursday night, right here on Afterburn; I will give you a chance to earn your freedom. If you beat me, I will open the door and allow you to walk out.
[ And he smiles evilly at the camera. ]
“The Modern-Day Messiah” The Chose One” Prophet – But if you lose, if I beat you; then you will swear fealty to me for the rest of your life!!!
[ The show cuts back to Caristico and Mike at the broadcast table. ]
Mike Godwinn – What a huge opportunity for Hopkins if he accepts the challenge. But he has to go into this match knowing also that if he loses this match then he basically becomes an indentured servant to Prophet for the rest of his life.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – It’s a huge risk for him to take. You know the Zealots are going to be out there watching Prophet’s back. You know he’s going to do everything he can to beat Hopkins!!! Do the pros outweigh the cons? Only Hopkins can answer that.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for our next match and it features Steve Scott taking on Psycho Messiah. We saw Messiah earlier attacking Shane McMahon and we also learned through Gail Kim that they will now face each other at All Hallows Evil. Let’s get back to the ring for the introductions.
Steve Scott vs Psycho Messiah
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit!! Making his way to the ring, weighing in at weight of 200 lbs.; this is… “Bloodlust” Steve Scott!!!
[ The crowd cheers as Steve Scott walks out on stage to “The Nobodies” by Marilyn Manson. Pyro explodes around him as he makes his way to the ring and climbs in!! ]
Mike Godwinn – Steve has done a nice job since joining the singles division as he sits on an eight and five record and is currently ranked second in the US title rankings.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – He’s done a real nice job since breaking up with Marc Fulton. He’s been hanging around title contention for months and even got his shot against Tank at Lethal lottery, coming up on the losing end of a tough match.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring first, weighing in at 210 lbs, 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 arms overhead. ]
Mike Godwinn – The former TV champ has been hunting Shane down since losing his TV title a few months back. I am sure he is salivating at the thought of getting his hands on him again!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I for one cannot wait to see that match, but Messiah cannot overlook Steve Scott tonight.

Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...and he lets go before he is disqualified putting his hands in the air backing off. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Psycho Messiah let out some of that pent up anger right there on Steve Scott, but I’m sure that he saw Shane McMahon’s face at the end of his boot, not Steve’s.
[ Psycho Messiah drags Steve Scott into the center of the ring and covers him as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Steve Scott kicks out!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – Smart move by Messiah to get Steve to the center of the ring and cover him. Even though Steve kicked out, it gives Messiah a chance to see how much Steve’s got in the tank.
[ Psycho Messiah goes for a Cradle DDT, but Steve Scott counters it with a small package roll-up as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...and Messiah shoots his shoulder up!!! ]

Psycho Messiah whips Steve Scott into the ropes and Steve Scott comes off and hits a flying cross body press on Psycho Messiah and rolls him up as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Messiah gets his shoulder up!!! ]

[ Psycho Messiah complains to the referee about a slow count when suddenly “The Chicken Run Blast-O-Rama” by White Zombie plays across the arena and Lance Storm and Mike Sanders walks out on stage. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – These two jackasses got their asses handed to them at Stable Wars and they are coming back out here for more.
[ The Thrillers march down to the ring and stop at the bottom of the ramp as Messiah leans against the ropes begging them to get their asses in the ring. Steve Scott comes from behind and drives a forearm into the back of Messiah’s head stunning him. Steve Scott then hits the Kill Shot (diving DDT from the second rope) on Psycho Messiah. Steve Scott rolls up Psycho Messiah as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...3!!! ]
Time of match: 0:04:43
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match, Steve Scott!!!
Mike Godwinn – Great win by Steve Scott tonight, but it has to go down with an asterix with the blatant intrusion if I may say so by the Thrillers.
[ As if on cue, Lance Storm and Mike Sanders hit the ring and start stomping away on Messiah. Steve Scott rolls out of the ring, shoves the time keeper aside and grabs his steel chair. Steve rolls back into the ring and clears the Thrillers from the ring as the back peddle back up the ramp laughing and pointing at Messiah. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Messiah got lucky tonight that Steve Scott helped him out. Any other wrestler he might not have been so lucky tonight.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, Chandler Hopkins is not in the arena tonight; but we are lucky enough to have him zooming in from home. Chandler, how you doing tonight buddy?
[ The videotron shows the face of Chandler Hopkins as he sits at home at his ranch in North Texas. ]
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – I’m doing well Mike. Caristico, good to see you too.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Hi Chandler. Listen, let’s get right to the point, shall we? Tonight, Prophet laid out the challenge for next Thursday night. He said that he is willing to release you from the Prophecy if you can defeat him. But if you lose to him, then you will be basically an indentured servant to him for life. Do you accept his challenge?
[ Hopkins takes a swig of his Lone Star beer and places it on the arm rest of his chair. ]
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – Prophet has the audacity to call me out? To challenge me? Son, I lured you in and you swallowed the entire hook. You want this match, you got it. Come Thursday night on Adrenaline, I am not only going to win back my freedom, but I am going to end your precious Prophecy for good!!! See you Thursday night.
[ The cameras cut back to Mike and Caristico at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn – There you have it folks. Short and right to the point. Chandler Hopkins has agreed to face Prophet next week right here on Afterburn and Hopkins freedom is on the line.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I have never called a match where someone’s freedom is on the line and I’ve been in this business for years. What a huge match this is going to be for both men.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for tonight’s main event as the former World Heavyweight Champion Alexander Stone makes his long-awaited return to the Empire as he takes on the former TV champion Raven Horse. If Raven Horse can beat Stone, then Shane has promised to reinstate him back onto the roster.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Raven Horse beat Stone? I’ve faced Stone and let me tell you something, Raven Horse has a better chance flying to the moon by strapping a rocket to his ass than beating Stone.
Mike Godwinn – Man, this should be good. It’s the Stonebreaker versus the Halo. Let’s go back to the ring one last time tonight as our very own JoJo Rodriguez is ready with tonight’s introductions!!!
The Main Event
Alexander Stone vs Raven Horse
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit!!! Making his way to the ring weighing in at 247 lbs., 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 and climbs in posing on the second turnbuckle. ]
Mike Godwinn – Raven Horse is being peppered with vicious boos as he stretches out pulling on the ropes. If he can find a way to beat Alexander Stone tonight, he will be put back on the roster. Can you just imagine what kind of an impact that would make to the men’s roster if he can get reinstated?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I’m going to be honest with you, the Empire doesn’t need this kind of guy. Beside being the TV champion for two months, he spent most of that time dodging the competition finding every conceivable way to keep his belt.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And his opponent, making his way to the ring weighing in at 251 lbs.; this is… “Pure Gold” Alexander Stone!!
[ “Hyperpower” by Nine Inch Nails blares across the arena as Alexander Stone marches down to the ring. The sold-out cheers him as he climbs into the ring takes off his jacket and sunglasses off and tosses them to the floor. ]
Mike Godwinn – My God, Alexander Stone looks to be in better shape now than he did two months ago when Travis Blake put him on the shelf. But I will say this. Two months is a very long time to be out of the ring and if Raven Horse has any chance of winning tonight, he has to hope that there’s a ton of ring rust.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Stone is six foot three and weighs two-fifty-one. Raven Horse is six-foot seven and weighs two-forty-seven. These are two very big men in that ring tonight, but the edge has to go to Stone. He just has too many big match wins under his belt to lose to a guy like Raven Horse.
[ Alexander Stone attacks Raven Horse before the bell driving a European uppercut into Raven Horse. Alexander Stone uses a go-behind on Raven Horse and slaps the back of his head a few times taunting the former TV champion. The referee calls for the bell as Stone takes Raven Horse down with a belly-to-back suplex. Raven Horse crawls into the corner and begs Stone to stop. Alexander Stone runs into the corner and drives a knee into Raven Horse. Stone hits a bridging Exploder suplex on Raven Horse going for the cover as Joey Jiles counts ...1 ...2 ...and Raven Horse gets his shoulder up!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – It’s early in the match, but Stone is clearly overpowering Raven Horse right now. It doesn’t seem like he’s missed a beat since his sabbatical.
[ Raven Horse again begs Stone to stop as he crawls on his hands and knees trying to get away. Alexander Stone nails a half nelson backbreaker on Raven Horse. Alexander Stone nails Raven Horse with a spear. Alexander Stone attempts a boot choke, but Raven Horse blocks it. Raven Horse drives a chop onto Alexander Stone.

Alexander Stone drives repeated European uppercuts into Raven Horse. Raven Horse again begs him to stop. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This is a complete and utter ass kicking right now. Raven Horse has yet to mount any substantial offense.
[ Alexander Stone drives a chop onto Raven Horse. Alexander Stone nails Raven Horse with a DDT. Alexander Stone hits a half nelson backbreaker on Raven Horse. Alexander Stone goes for a mounted punch, but Raven Horse blocks it. Raven Horse runs into the ropes and hits Alexander Stone with a drop kick. Raven Horse drives a Discus Punch into Alexander Stone but Stone laughs it off and nails Raven Horse with a charging elbowsmash that levels him. Raven Horse backs into the corner as he puts his hands up begging for Stone to stop. ]
Mike Godwinn – Did you see that Discuss Punch that Stone shrugged off like it never phased him? This guy is like a Greek God!!!
[ Alexander Stone drives a headsmash into the turnbuckle on Raven Horse. Alexander Stone runs into the ropes and nails Raven Horse with a pump kick.

Raven Horse uses another eye gouge on Alexander Stone trying to blind him. Raven Horse nails a standing dropkick on Alexander Stone. Raven Horse is going for the cover as Joey Jiles counts ...1 ...2 ...and Stone kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Finally Raven Horse has managed to piece together something to slow Stone down. But you have to ask yourself, for how long?
[ Raven Horse runs into the ropes and hits Alexander Stone with a big elbow. Raven Horse goes for a gutbuster, but Alexander Stone counters it with a front-layout suplex.

Time of match: 0:07:07
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match, Alexander Stone!!!
Mike Godwinn – What a dominating win for Stone tonight in his first match in nearly two months.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – You have to know that Travis Blake was watching from somewhere safe, but his day will come when Stone will face him and there will be no place ton run and no place to hide.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, that’s all for tonight. We invite you all back here Monday night for Adrenaline!!!! Caristico, thanks for bailing Pezzer out buddy.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Always my pleasure. Good-night everyone.
Epilogue
[ A few hours after the show goes off the air we swing back to the office of Shane McMahon where we see Shane talking on the phone with someone as Nash, Go-D, Simmons and Thompson are playing cards at a nearby table. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Yeah. I understand. Yes, I said I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll get it done.
[ Shane hangs the phone up and takes a deep breath. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of famer Go-D – What’s the matter boss? You look like you have some heavy shit on your mind.
[ Shane looks back over at the table and sees the huge stacks of chips in-front of Go-D. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – That was Mark. He’s insisting that you defend your World Heavyweight title.
[ Go-D laughs it off. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of famer Go-D – I will. All Hallows Evil is still over two weeks away.
[ Shane chuckles. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – You’re not understanding what I’m saying. He wants you to defend your World title before the pay per view.
[ Go-D looks at him crooked. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of famer Go-D – This is bullshit.
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Yeah, well; he doesn’t see it that way and he own’s this place so that leaves us little choice.
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of famer Go-D – So who am I supposed to face? And how long is he giving me?
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – He’s giving me until Monday on Adrenaline to make the announcement and then you have to defend it Thursday night in the main event!!!
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of famer Go-D – He’s giving me a week!!! A fucking week!!! God, I liked this asshole better when he was a drunk.
[ Shane turns away and looks out the window as the rain pours down. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Just give me time and I’ll figure it all out.

Live from the sold-out T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada
Thursday Night October 14th, 2021
8:00pm EST
[ The shows opens with the Titantron showing the Empires new promo video package with all the stars of the Empire like Alexander Stone hitting his Stonebreaker, Tank Edge locking on his Recliner, Amber Nova punishing someone with her Nova Driver Travis Blake nailing someone with the Weapon X!!! We see Dick Togo leading his new Japanese death squad made up of Kahagas, Shinigami Shogun and Rasputin Ito. The Bullet Club led by Travis Blake blasts across the big screen as well as Go-D leading his Legacy team. 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 and thank you for tuning in to Afterburn tonight. My name is Mike Godwinn and I am joined by Empire Hall of Famer and the self-proclaimed “Living Legend” Pezzer. Pezz, what a crazy night of action we all witnessed Monday night on Adrenaline. Shane McMahon started the night off making not one but two huge announcements in regards to the upcoming “All Hallows Evil” pay per view event on October thirty-first.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – What a night it’s going to be. Monday night Shane announced that All Hallows Evil is going to be held under “Spin the Wheel, Make a Deal” rules. For those of you that never heard of that concept; what it means is that before each match, either Shane or Gail will spin this giant wheel with dozens of different types of hardcore matches on it. Wherever the wheel stops, that’s the type of match we will see. The possibilities are endless.
Mike Godwinn – Just thinking about what we might see that night is mind blowing. But that’s not all. Shane also announced, with the help of Godzilla Sanchez; that the main event will be a “Trick or Treat” match. Some companies also call it a “Feast or Fired” match but it is the same concept. Three briefcases will be hung from poles in three of the ring corners. Four men will compete to grab those cases and the one man that doesn’t grab a case, well he’s immediately fired!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – This is massive news because two of the four men in that match are former World Champions in Alexander Stone and Prophet. Another is the longest reigning United States Heavyweight Champion Tito Escobar and the last man is the wild card in Godzilla Sanchez. Three men get title shots and one gets terminated.
Mike Godwinn – What a way to close out what should be a massive pay per view event, but that’s not all. We also learned that Shane McMahon agreed to let S.E.X. have their rematch against the Heartbreakers after their repeated failed attempts to sway Gail Kim’s mind.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Man you have to give these gals credit. They worked hard to get what they wanted and like Shane said, people will do whatever it takes to get what they want.
Mike Godwinn – Those two women had sex with Lance Storm and Mike Sanders to get their title shot!!! That’s what you call earning your title shot? Folks, Monday night we also saw the long-awaited return of the former World Heavyweight Champion Alexander Stone as he was seen backstage attacking Tanga Loa and then after the Bullet Clubs match later in the night he also came down to the ring and attacked Tama Tonga.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I can’t wait to see Travis Blake and Alexander Stone climb back in the ring again...
[ The crowd explodes to their feet booing as “Scars that I'm Hiding" by Ashes to New rocks the arena and the United States Heavyweight Champion Travis Blake walks out on stage with his US title slung over his right shoulder and his World Six-man Tag Team championship belt slung over his left shoulder. The Women’s World Champion Amber Nova walks out with him holding his hand and you can see her Women’s World title is wrapped around her waist and her Women’s National title is slung over her right shoulder. A few steps behind them are the Guerillas of Destiny, with their World Six-man Tag Team championship belts around their waists. Behind them comes the Mean Girls as they fling their hair and make disgusted looks at the not-so well-off fans. Last but not least, out walks Paul Heyman with a huge shit eating grin on his face. ]
Mike Godwinn – Here we go again Pezzer. I knew it wouldn’t be long before we heard from the self-proclaimed “Face of the Empire”.
[ Travis slowly climbs the ring steps and comes to a stop on the ring apron overlooking the sold-out audience as they reign down the boos on them. He grins as he sits down on the middle rope and pushes up the top rope with his shoulder. Amber kisses him as she steps through the ropes followed by her girls Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay. Travis then himself steps through the ropes and climbs to the middle turnbuckle where he raises both of his title belts high in the air for all to see. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Travis Blake has become our very first dual champion on the men’s side of the locker room and he now joins Amber Nova as dual champions!!! This is a hell of a feat by each of these individuals.
Mike Godwinn – Let’s just put an asterix by both of those title wins, because he did have a substantial amount of assistance winning them.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – What are you saying?
Mike Godwinn – You were there, you tell me.
[ Travis leans against the ropes and motions for JoJo to hand him the mic. She doesn’t hesitate at all and hands it to him not wanting to piss him off. Travis taps the head of the mic and smiles as it thud... thud... thuds... and the crowd boos him even louder as he does it just to piss them off. ]
Mike Godwinn – Can we just get on with this already? He’s wasting valuable time.
[ Travis looks down at the announcers table and sees Pezzer sitting there and he nods and winks at him as the boos continue to reign down on him. ]
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Love me or hate me, there’s no denying that I am “The Face of the Empire” baby!!! That we are collectively, the greatest group of men and women ever to assemble under the Empire’s banner!!! I am your new United States Heavyweight champion!!! I beat the unbeatable Tank Edge!!! The monster... the Ring General... the has been... the washed-up fool that thought he had any chance against a man of my talent!!!
[ The crowd boos as they chant... ]
The sold-out crowd – “You suck!!! You suck!!! You suck!!!
[ Travis grins... ]
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Look at us people. Take a good long look at the future of your company and bask in our glory!!! Amber Nova!!! The best women’s wrestler on the roster!!! The Guerillas of Destiny!!! Tag Team Champions!!! The Mean Girls!!! The baddest girls on the Women’s Tag Team roster!!! We are your future so you better learn to embrace it!!! Now, we couldn’t have gotten this far without a helping hand of a few people; and right now, we want to recognize them for that.
[ Travis looks down at Pezzer. ]
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Pezzer, if you don’t mind; come into the ring please.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – What? Me?
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – That’s right Pezz. Come on into the ring and join us.
Mike Godwinn – I’m not sure this is a good idea right now. You’re walking into the lion’s den my friend.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Hold down the fort partner. I’ll be right back.
[ Pezzer removes his headset and tosses it on the desk. He walks over to the ring and climbs the steps stopping on the ring apron looking at the very ominous group in-front of him. ]
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – It’s ok, we’re cool. You’re amongst friends tonight.
[ And Travis opens his arms wide and grins at him. Pezzer steps through the ropes and climbs into the ring standing just feet away from a pack of hungry wolves. ]
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Pezzer, we know what you did for us at Stable Wars and we just wanted to thank you.
[ Pezzer smiles as he points to himself seemingly surprised. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Thanks me?
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – That’s right. We, the Bullet Club; recognize what you did for us at Stable Wars when you came down to the ring during our match with Edge Legacy. Now, just in-case people were wondering; we had that match well in hand and we really didn’t need your help; but I digress.
[ Travis motions toward Paul Heyman who hands Travis an official “Bullet Club” tee-shirt that can be only be bought on EmpireShop.com!!! Travis unravels the shirt and hangs it wide open so everyone in the arena can see it. ]
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – On behalf of the Bullet Club, we would like to make you an honorary member!!!
[ Pezzer smiles like he just won the lottery. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Me? An honorary member?
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – That’s right buddy. Welcome to God’s greatest stable!!!
[ Pezzer quickly takes the tee-shirt and puts it on hugging Travis and thanking him. ]
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – I’m glad you like it. You earned it. But at Stable Wars, you weren’t the only guy that showed me that he’s Bullet Club material. Big Sexy, I know you’re back there so come on out!!!
[ The sound of a wolf howling echoes throughout the arena and the crowd explodes to their feet booing as “The nWo Wolfpack” theme rocks the arena and “Big Sexy” Kevin Nash struts out from the back with a shit eating grin on his face. ]
Mike Godwinn – Is Travis Blake about to offer Kevin Nash a spot in the Bullet Club too?
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Come-on “Big Kev”, don’t be shy. Get out here baby.
[ Nash slowly walks down to the ring being blasted by the boos. He climbs the ring steps and then steps over the top rope entering the ring as most of the Bullet Club back off giving him space. All but Travis Blake, who just stands in the center of the ring showing no fear. Nash walks over to JoJo and asks for his own mic and she hands him one. He checks the switch to make sure it’s on and looks back at Travis. ]
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Big Kev... it’s ok I call you Big Kev, right? Or do you prefer Nash... Diesel...Big Daddy Cool... maybe Master Blaster Steel, that was one of my favorites; no, no, no what about the Great Oz?
[ Nash doesn’t look amused... ]
The Empire Hall of Famer Kevin Nash – You can call me Kevin and let’s cut the bullshit and get right down to brass takes here. If you called me out here to give me some shitty tee-shirt and a pick-up line like you did this dweeb...
[ And he points right at Pezzer who doesn’t appreciate that. ]
The Empire Hall of Famer Kevin Nash – ...you can save your breadth.
[ Pezzer takes the mic from Travis... ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Now hold on one God damn minute!!! Who the hell are you calling...
[ The crowd boos again as “Unforgiven” by Creed rocks the arena as the World Heavyweight Champion Go-D, along with Mike Thompson, Chris Simmons and the Thrillers walk out on stage in force. As one, they march down to the ring and climb in. ]
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer!!! Pezzer get out of there!!! You don’t want any part of this!!!
[ Go-D walks past JoJo and grabs his own mic and they all climb into the ring never taking their eyes off of the Bullet Club. Travis smiles as the odds have just evened up with Nash standing in the middle of the ring center stage. Pezzer climbs out of the ring and heads back to the broadcast table and puts his headset back on. ]
Mike Godwinn – Welcome back partner, the water get a little too hot for you?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I would help them out, but I think they will be fine without me.
[ Go-D, with his World Heavyweight title slung over his right shoulder walks right up to Travis and glares at his two title belts that are hanging off each of his shoulders. Travis shows no fear as he too glares at the World title that Go-D holds. ]
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Hey Champ, come to see how the big boys party?
[ Go-D points at his face. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D - Eyes up here when I’m talking to you.
[ Travis chuckles as he looks Go-D in the eyes. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – You need to understand something boy, the only reason you all hold those belts you so proudly carry on your shoulders is because Legacy helped you!!! Who do you think it was that told Big Sexy here to come down to the ring during your match with Tank, huh? It was me!!! And why do you think Pezzer climbed up onto that ring apron during your match against Edge Legacy? It was because he wants to be part of us!!!
[ Travis looks down at Pezzer who seems just as shocked as Travis does. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I don’t know what he’s talking about!!! I’m Bullet Club all the way!!!
Mike Godwinn – You’re in deep doodoo now my friend.
The United States Champion and one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – You’re full of shit and you know it. We had both of those matches won. We didn’t need your help in neither of them. In-fact, wasn’t it you that dodged a match at the pay per view? Oh yeah, Shane’s covering for you right? Picking and choosing the guys you defend your title against? Must be nice to have daddy watching your back?
[ Go-d gets irate and bumps heads with Travis. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Listen to me you little shit, without me; there would be no you. Without me, there would be no Bullet Club. Without me, there would be no Empire. Without me...
[ The crowd explodes to their feet as “Hyperpower” by Nine Inch Nails blares across the arena and Alexander Stone marches down to the ring. He grabs a mic from JoJo as he climbs into the ring, taking off his jacket and sunglasses; and tosses them to the floor!!! He marches right up to Go-D and Travis with hate in his eyes. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – I’m not sure who I want to beat more right now, you...
[ And he looks right at Travis... ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Or you!!!
[ And he looks right at Go-D. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Power down big man. You’ve got no clue who your fucking with!!!
[ Stone chuckles thinking that’s the funniest shit he’s heard all night. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – I know exactly who you are Dave. You’re the guy who’s got his head buried so far up Shane’s ass he can see what he ate for dinner. You’re the guy that barely beat some jobber last week in Australia. What was his name again? Bowser, was it? You’re lucky Godzilla screwed up that lottery drawing because I was betting you weren’t walking out champion that night!!!
[ Go-D chest bumps Stone. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – You better watch what comes out of your mouth next because I’m about to shut it permanently!!!
[ Stone laughs at him... ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Send your boys to the back and I’ll be glad to kick your ass...
[ The crowd explodes to their feet booing as “Here comes the Money!!!” rocks the arena and the CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon walks out on stage and marches down to the ring. ]
Mike Godwinn – Here comes the boss and he doesn’t look happy.
[ Shane climbs into the ring and marches right up to Go-D, Travis and Stone. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – That’s enough!!! All of you!!! We are not doing this tonight!!! In fact, we are not doing this until I say we are so...
[ The sold-out audience crowd explode to their feet cheering as "Get Out of My Way" by Cowboy Mouth explodes throughout the arena!!! Shane looks back up the rampway, mouth wide expecting Reverend Snow; but it’s Psycho Messiah that jumps the guardrail and dives under the bottom rope. ]
Mike Godwinn – Psycho Messiah just lured Shane in and he bit hook line and sinker!!!
[ Psycho Messiah tackles Shane from behind and takes him down. Stone takes advantage of the distraction and tackles Travis to the mat. All hell breaks loose in the ring as both factions go at it until security rushes the ring to break them apart. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – This is crazy Mike!!! Shane really thought that Reverend Snow was going to walk down that ramp tonight and while he had his back turned, Psycho Messiah jumped him from behind!!!
Mike Godwinn – Folks, while we sort this mess in the ring out; our very own Cindy Meyers is standing by with the former TV champion Raven Horse who tonight has the monumental task of facing Alexander Stone. Take it away Cindy.
[ The cameras pan to the back where a very upbeat Cindy Meyers is standing by with Raven Horse. ]
Cindy Meyers – Raven Horse, it’s been a very trying few months for you. First, you fell below the cut line and then failed to win the Last Chance Battle Royal. Lucky for you though, Reverend Azazel found a loophole and was able to save your job by teaming you with the Natural Disasters in the Six-man Tag Team division.
Raven Horse – Trying? I call it shitty. These past few months couldn’t have been worse actually. I was at the top of my game and then that son of a bitch Psycho Messiah came along and ruined everything!!! He’s the reason I had to team with those fat bastards. He’s the reason I almost got fired!!!
Cindy Meyers – It seems a little dramatic that you would blame Psycho Messiah for all your troubles when on numerous occasions you either walked out on matches or were disqualified.
Raven Horse – Don’t you see, I did what I had to do!!! To preserve my title reign.
Cindy Meyers – Let’s just changed topics for a moment, shall we? Last week, it has been reported; that you went to Shane McMahon and you begged for your job back.
[ Raven Horse looks irritated. ]
Raven Horse – Begged for my job back? Where do you get your fake news? It’s all lies!!! I asked for another chance, and he gave me a shot tonight to win my spot back.
Cindy Meyers – That’s true. If you defeat Alexander Stone, Shane has promised you your roster spot back.
Raven Horse – If? There is no if!!! I’m going to wrap hand around his throat and make his ass tap out to the Halo!!!
[ Raven Horse storms off the set pissed off as the show cuts back to Mike and Pezzer at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn - Raven Horse really needs to get his head examined if he thinks that Psycho Messiah had anything to do with him falling below the cut line!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – He’s even crazier to think that he’s got any chance against Alexander Stone. I would be willing to bet Raven Horse doesn’t last five minutes tonight!!!
Mike Godwinn – Folks, so much has happened tonight and our first match is just about to get underway. Let’s go to the ring as Solo Darling takes on Shanna Furguson!!!
Solo Darling vs Shanna Furguson
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making her way to the ring; she weighs in at 155 lbs., she is the former Women’s National Champion; this is… “The Beast” Shanna Furguson!!!
[ The crowd boos as “The Trainer Battle” of the Pokémon Guitar Cover plays and Shanna storms down to the ring, bare foot and dressed in her UFC garb. She dives under the bottom rope and starts to pace around like a mad woman. ]
Mike Godwinn – This is a huge top contender’s match as Shanna comes into this match with a nine and nine record and is ranked fifth for the Women’s World title.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Shanna is a huge part of this women’s division and a win tonight over Solo darling could propel her into another title match against whomever is the champion after All Hallows Evil!!!
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And her opponent!! Making her way to the ring weighing in at 122 lbs., she is the former Women’s National Champion; this is… Solo Darling!!!
[ The crowd gives her a mixed reaction as “Feel the Sting” by Kenny & Harley Wootton rocks the arena and Solo walks out on stage. She makes her way down to the ring where she climbs in with a serious and determined look on her face. ]
Mike Godwinn – Let’s just rewind for a minute. Before she teamed with Reverend Azazel Solo was on a horrible losing streak. Since siding with the Reverend, she went on to win the Women’s National title. Tonight, she has her first match since Azazel was exiled from the Devil’s Rejects.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Solo is eight and seven right now and is ranked third right behind Kiera Hogan and Millie McKenzie. For her, a win tonight can also solidify a future title shot. This, is a pay per view quality match-up.

“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match, Shanna Furguson!!!
Mike Godwinn – Amazing match by both women tonight, but it is Shanna who came out on top with the Beast Slayer!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Very good win for Shanna tonight and it should make her third in the rankings right behind Kiera and Millie.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, while the match was going on Gail Kim had a confrontation with the Women’s World Tag Team Champions the Heartbreakers. Let’s go back and see what happened.
[ The scene replays and we see the Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim walking the halls. The Women’s World Tag Team Champions the Heartbreakers stop her and they don’t look happy. ]
One third of the Women’s World Tag Team Champion Nattie Neidhart – Hey, we need to know what the hell is going on? We wanted to face the best this division has to offer at the pay per view. You agreed with us. Why did you allow S.E.X. to get their rematch?
[ Gail looks at them confused. ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Listen, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I never signed them to face you.
One third of the Women’s World Tag Team Champion Shotzi Blackheart – Well someone did and the last I checked there’s only two of you that can book matches, right?
[ The lightbulb goes off in Gail’s head... ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Shane!!! Don’t worry, I’ll handle this!!!
[ Gail rushes off as the show swings back to Pezzer and Mike at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn – I get the distinct feeling that Gail had no idea that Shane signed that championship rematch.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Yeah and I get the feeling that she had no idea what they did to get that title shot. I bet the Thrillers were pretty satisfied with what they got out of it.
Mike Godwinn – I saw Lance Storm and Mike Sanders earlier today and they still had huge smiles on their faces. Folks, Dick Togo along with Kahagas and Yumi no Kuni are in the ring. We are finally going to hear from these guys as to why they turned on Tank Edge on Afterburn right here last week.
[ Yumi no Kuni stand in the ring in new Shinigami samurai armor as Dick Togo and Kahagas stand in opposite corners Shinigami Shogun takes off his mask and holds up a microphone. ]
Shinigami Shogun - Last week, we turned on Tank and surprisingly, few wondered why. You see Tank, I tried to tell you this is how everyone sees you. Conner and Maverick may go by Edge Legacy, but the true legacy of you is deceit and betrayal.
[ The crowd boos this. ]
Shinigami Shogun - The fact is Tank, we left our homes in Japan because you said you needed people you could trust, and that's always been us. When we came out of the dojo, we had no idea what to do or who we were, and you gave us that Tank. You were my brother Tank. I gladly was your number two. But then when Godzilla showed up, I told you he was bad for us, but you ignored me. Then your kid showed up, I told you to send him back, and let me send the other one to the grave, but you ignored me again. I told you to focus on Travis Blake, let Ness handle Japan, trust us to handle Legacy, but you couldn't let it go and refused to listen to me. Your friend, your top man, your brother and you stopped listening. Well now maybe you'll start listening.
[ He turns to Dick Togo who has a cocky look on his face. Shogun slaps him hard across the face. Togo falls down and looks shocked. ]
Shinigami Shogun - This had nothing to do with you Togo and don't you think this is your doing. I was a leader in Sensha-Gun, but I had one I still answered to. The shogun were leaders, I follow no man anymore. This is the time I take the lead. this is The New Regime! This is the time of the Shinigami Shogun. And anyone who stands against me...
[ Before he can finish, Godzilla hits him from behind with a steel chair, he crashes into Togo and goes out of the ring, Kahagas comes at Godzilla but he spits mist in his eyes and then smashes him with the chair. Rasputin comes at Godzilla but Godzilla gets him with the mist as well and hits him with the chair.

Godzilla Sanchez - You may not want to be Tank's brother anymore but that also makes me no longer your pseudo nephew and that means, next week, you versus me in that ring, with Pezzer handcuffed to a toilet in the public restroom.
[ He tosses the chair onto Pezzer and jumps off the announce table and nails Pezzer with the Goodbye Tokyo (top rope double stomp). ]

[ Pezzer twitches on the floor like a fish out of water as EMT’s rush down to the ringside area. The cuts to the backstage area where we see Gail Kim powerwalking through the halls. She marches right up to the office of Shane McMahon and storms right in without knocking. Shane pops up from behind his desk, thinking maybe Psycho Messiah was coming for him again. The Thrillers walk out from a back room adjusting their pants, not ready for any kind of fight. ]

[ Gail could give two shits about his problems with Psycho Messiah as she jabs her finger in his face. ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – What the hell are you doing signing S.E.X. to a rematch at All Hallows Evil? Those are my girls!!!
[ Shane rolls his eyes. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Jesus Christ Gail, calm down.
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Calm down? You want me to calm down? How about you keep your nose out of my divisions business!!!
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – You wouldn’t grant them their contractually obligated rematch, so I made a deal with them.
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Made a deal? This is my division!!! Mark put me in-charge of the Women’s division!!!
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Then I suggest you do a better job at it then.
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – You wanna make a match for my girls, then I want to make a match at the pay per view with your boys.
[ Shane laughs at her. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – You’re crazy. You need to stay in your lane Gail.
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – You screwed me, Shane. Now you either let me book a match with your boys at the pay per view, or I’m going to go to Mark and we will let him settle this.
[ Shane knows she’s serious so he folds... ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Fine!!! Go ahead and do your best, because God knows you haven’t done so good so far.
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – I’m going to make you eat your words. At All Hallows Evil, it’s going to be Psycho Messiah versus YOU!!!
[ Shane is at a loss for words as his mouth is wide open. Suddenly, S.E.X. walks out of the back room fixing their hair and clothes and wiping their mouths. Gail looks at them like she wants to throw up... ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – You’re disgusting.
[ Gail storms out of Shane office as he swipes his arm across his desk swiping all his paperwork to the floor!!! ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Fuck!!!
[ The show swings back to the announcers table where we see Mike Godwinn sitting with his new broadcast partner for the rest of the night “The Mexican Sensation” Caristico!!!
Mike Godwinn – Ladies and gentlemen, I am now joined by my new broadcast partner Caristico after that brutal assault by Godzilla Sanchez on Pezzer just minutes ago.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – That’s right Mike. Lucky for you I was backstage tonight watching the show when Pezzer was viscously attacked by Godzilla in a fit of rage. We are watching first hand as Tank Edge’s team is falling apart right in-front of our eyes!!!

“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match, the Zealots!!!
Mike Godwinn – What a great match we just saw as the Zealots solidified their number one spot in the rankings and hope to have a date soon against the New Regime for the World Tag Team championship!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – It’s not a matter of if they will get their match with the New Regime, it’s a matter of when. That’s a pay per view quality match in my book.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, let’s go to the back where Cindy Meyers is standing by with Gail Kim.
[ The show cuts to the back where Cindy Meyers is standing by with the Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim. ]
Cindy Meyers – Gail, we learned tonight that S.E.X. will get their rematch for the Women’s World Tag Team Championship as they will face the champions the Heartbreakers at All Hallows Evil now.
[ Gail rolls her eyes. ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – This is not what I had planned. I told Katie and Spice that they needed to earn their rematch, but they decided to earn it... well they earned it in a very different manner than I had thought they would.
Cindy Meyers – With Amber Nova defeating Courtney Cox, the Number One Contendership for the Women’s National Championship is wide open. Malia Hosaka has been asking for a title shot for weeks now. Are you going to grant her that request?
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Listen, we have some very good female wrestlers that deserve title shots and one being Shanna Furguson who we watched defeat Solo Darling...
[ Malia Hosaka walks onto the set and she looks pissed. ]
Malia Hosaka – Now why is it every time I ask for a title shot, people like you dodge the question. I’ve been here for what, eight months now and I have watched just about everyone get a title shot before me!!! Eight months Gail!!! Eight long months!!! Name one person on this roster that has been here as long as I have and has yet to receive a title shot!!!
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Malia, I get it. But you’ve seen what Amber has done to all those women. You’re fifty-one years old. She’s running through women half your age!!!
[ Malia snickers... ]
Malia Hosaka – So let me get this right. It’s an age thing...
[ Gail nods her head no... ]
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – No!!!, No, I never said it was because of you age. I said, she has beaten up women half your age. I just don’t think it’s the right time to...
Malia Hosaka – Time? In-case you forgot, I’m fifty-one. I’m running out of time. If I’m going to make an impact, I need to do it now!!!
[ Lady Edge walks onto the set with a serious and determined look on her face. ]
Lady Edge – You wanna make an impact?
Malia Hosaka – You’re damn right I do.
Lady Edge – Then team up with me at All Hallows Evil and help me beat the shit out of the Mean Girls!!!
[ Malia smirks as she nods her head yes. ]
Malia Hosaka – If it gets me closer to the Women’s National title, then I’m in.
[ They fist bump each other as the show swings back to Caristico and Mike at the broadcast table. ]
Mike Godwinn – Another huge match just signed for the pay per view as Malia and Lady Edge are going to team up to face the JV Bullet Club members the Mean Girls.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This is going to be another huge match for the pay per view, but I do think that Gail is dodging her request to face Amber for the Women’s National Championship.
Mike Godwinn – It sure does seem that way doesn’t it. Folks, it’s time for another big tag team match as S.E.X. takes on Blue Nation. It was just about three weeks ago when S.E.X. defeated Blue Nation. Tonight, Blue Nation asked for this rematch and it was granted. Let’s go back to the ring for the introductions.
S.E.X. vs Blue Nation

Mike Godwinn – You know, watching these two women in the ring is kind of appealing right now.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Before you get any ideas Mike, you better get your shot records updated. You never know what nasty infections you can get.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And their opponents!!! Making their way to the ring weighing in at a combined weight of 280 lbs, Charli Evans and Jessica Troy; they are... Blue Nation!!!

Mike Godwinn – Blue Nation come into this match with a one and two record with losses to Bloody Mary and Havok along with the team they are facing tonight.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – A win tonight will not improve their ranking, but it won’t hurt them either. They aren’t Medusa Complex, that’s for sure; and people need to start realizing that. They are a young team that is still struggling to find their way.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The Heartbreakers have just walked out on stage!!!

Cindy Meyers – DDP, nice win at Stable Wars over a very tough opponent in Chandler Hopkins.
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – The kid’s tough, I give him that. But he’s not as tough as me. I might be one of the older guys in this company, but my heart is bigger than any of them.
Cindy Meyers – Looking back at Stable Wars, it was Marc Fulton who came out right after your match and challenged you to a TV title match saying that he’s next. In the past week you have attacked him hitting him with the Diamond Cutter. Is that your way of telling him that you accept his challenge?
[ Page nods his head no. ]
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – No, that wasn’t my answer. That was a wake-up call to the biggest dummy on the roster. Listen Cindy, he doesn’t want any part of me. This isn’t the fight he wants right now.
[ “The Madman” Marc Fulton storms onto the set and glares down at Page and his TV title. ]
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – Big man, either talk or back off cause your breath smells like cat shit.

The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – Big talk for a guy that got his ass kicked by Ace Sky in what, ten seconds?

“The Madman” Marc Fulton – That was fucking fluke and everyone knows it.
[ Page waves him off not really wanting to hear his excuses. ]
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – Whatever, whatever jack. Everyone has bad nights.
“The Madman” Marc Fulton – It wasn’t a bad night!!! I got screwed.
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – Sure you did ace.
[ And just the mention of Ace Sky’s name makes Marc’s blood boil. ]
“The Madman” Marc Fulton – Are you going to give me that title shot or not?
[ And Fulton jams his finger into the TV title belt that sends a jolt of pain into Page’s arthritic shoulder. He winces in pain when Ace Sky walks onto the set with a huge smile on his face. ]
Ace Sky – Whoa, whoa, whoa; slow your roll angry bird. What makes you think you deserve any title shot? I beat your ass last week, so if anyone deserves a title shot; it’s me!!!
[ Ace smiles as he looks at Marc and then at Page. ]
Ace Sky – What? If you’re going to give this big douche a title shot, then I want a title shot.
[ Page looks at both of them. ]
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – You can both kiss my ass. You both don’t deserve shit in my book.
[ Page walks off the set not wanting to deal with either of these two guys as the show cuts back to Caristico and Mike at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn – Page may be the TV champion right now, but he can’t dodge the top contenders forever. At some point he’s going to have to face someone like it or not.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I don’t think Page fears either of these guys. I just think that he’s playing it very strategically. Let these guys beat the shit out of each other and then Page will pick the bones of whoever is left standing.
Mike Godwinn – I would love to see either of these guys take on page at the pay per view. Folks, it’s time for our six-man tag team match as Legacy comes off a tough loss at Stable Wars and now has to face a very daunting Million Dollar Dream Team who right now sit in the number three hole. JoJo, take it away kid.
Legacy vs The Million Dollar Dream Team
“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 being accompanied by “Big Sexy” Kevin Nash, they weigh in at a combined weight of 722 lbs., “The Messiah” Chris Simmons, “Crazy Man” Mike Thompson and the World Heavyweight Champion Go-D, they are… Legacy!!!
[ “Unforgiven” by Creed rocks the arena as Empire Hall of Famers Go-D, Kevin Nash, Crazy Man and the Messiah walk out on stage to the roar of the sold-out crowd!!! As one, they march down to the ring and climb in. ]
Mike Godwinn – Legacy has not had much luck in the six-man tag team division as they are oh and one with two draws placing them seventh out of the eight teams in the division.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Legacy is a tough team to deal with right now as they not only added Kevin Nash back at Stable Wars but they also brought in the Thrillers to back them up. It’s just a matter of time if we see any of them in action or if they are just going to be hired muscle for the team.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring weighing in at a combined weight of 658 lbs, Jake and Dave Anderson along with Tony Tran... they are the Million Dollar Dream Team!!!
[ The crowd goes crazy booing as "Let's Go All the Way" by Insane Clown Posse rocks the arena as the two brothers strut out on stage and make their way down to the ring led by the egotistical Tony Tran. ]
Mike Godwinn – The Million Dollar Dream Team comes into this match with a one and one record and they are currently ranked third in their division. If you’re asking me truthfully, the Golden BoyZ were better off without Tran.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Yeah, Tony is a sweet talker and he can sell you anything. But bullshit can only take you so far and Tony is full of it. Just look at his singles record. It’s pretty pathetic if you ask me. I’m hoping at some point the Golden BoyZ can see through his shit.
[ Simmons and Tran start the match off and they know each other pretty well from the past. They lock up and Chris Simmons throws Tony Tran out of the ring and jumps onto him with a baseball slide. ...1 ...Chris Simmons launches Tony Tran into the steel ringsteps. ...2 ...Go-D comes over to make it two-on-one.

Chris Simmons then locks Tony Tran in a sleeperhold. Todd Sinclair checks Tony Tran's arm. He lifts it... it falls!!! He lifts it... it falls!!! He lifts it... it stays up!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – If there was ever a weak spot on the Million Dollar Dream Team it is by far and away Tony Tran. He’s in desperate need to tag out to a fresh man.
[ Tony Tran fights his way out of the hold and hits a dropkick on Chris Simmons. Tony Tran frantically covers Chris Simmons as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...and Simmons kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – You can see the desperation in Tony Tran tonight as he did everything that he could to roll Messiah up but all he got was a one count.
[ Tony Tran tries a powerslam into the turnbuckles, but Chris Simmons counters it with a Yakuza kick. Chris Simmons drives a slap onto Tony Tran’s chest blistering it. Chris Simmons tags out to Go-D.

Dave Anderson gets a forearm choke on Go-D in the corner as Todd Sinclair warns Dave Anderson to let go. Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...and he lets go before he is DQ’d. ]
Mike Godwinn – It looks like Dave Anderson has had enough of Legacy and he nearly cost his team the match tonight with that illegal chokehold in the corner.
[ Dave Anderson goes for a standing dropkick, but Go-D ducks out of the way. Go-D tags out to Chris Simmons. Chris Simmons and Go-D whip Dave Anderson into the ropes and they hit Dave Anderson with a double kick to the midsection. Tony Tran enters the ring, but gets cut off. Chris Simmons and Go-D whip Dave Anderson into the ropes and they hit Dave Anderson with a double armbar takedown. Go-D leaves the ring. Dave Anderson uses an eye gouge on Chris Simmons. Dave Anderson goes for a spear, but Chris Simmons counters it with a kneelift right to the face. Chris Simmons uses an armdrag takedown on Dave Anderson. Chris Simmons kicks Dave Anderson. Chris Simmons tags out to Mike Thompson. Tony Tran enters the ring and lays out Chris Simmons.

Mike Thompson whips Dave Anderson into the ropes and Mike Thompson hits Dave Anderson with a clothesline. Mike Thompson is going for the cover as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...and Dave Anderson kicks out!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I feel that the longer this match goes, the more it favors Legacy. These guys are just too good to be left hanging around. You have to put them away early if you’re going to beat them.
[ Chris Simmons enters the ring to make it two-on-one. Mike Thompson and Chris Simmons whip Dave Anderson into the ropes and they attempt to hit Dave Anderson with a double kick to the midsection, but he counters it with a double clothesline.

Dave Anderson springs to his feet and nails Mike Thompson with a backbreaker. Dave Anderson puts Mike Thompson in a forearm choke against the ropes as Todd Sinclair warns Dave Anderson to let go. Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...and he lets go before he is disqualified. ]

[ Dave Anderson goes for a headsmash into the turnbuckle, but Mike Thompson blocks it. Mike Thompson elbows Dave Anderson. Mike Thompson punches Dave Anderson.

Time of match: 0:07:06
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match, Legacy!!!
Mike Godwinn – Great win tonight by Legacy as they too set their sights on not only getting their World Tag Team titles back, but the six-man tag team titles to boot.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This team is very dangerous. Don’t take their age for granted Mike. These guys can overcome their age. They already proved that.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, I am getting word that Prophet is standing by backstage. Let’s listen in to what the former World Champion has to say.
[ The show cuts to the back where we see Prophet sitting in-front of an altar, arms raised and candles burning as his precious Book of Prophecy is open sitting on a dais open to a certain page. He slowly opens his eyes and sees the camera zooming in on him. ]
“The Modern-Day Messiah” The Chose One” Prophet – Chandler, I am a reasonable man. I forgive you for what you did to me last week.
[ He pauses. ]
“The Modern-Day Messiah” The Chose One” Prophet – Pulling my pants down in the middle of the ring so that everyone around the world could see my naked bottom.
[ Another pause. ]
“The Modern-Day Messiah” The Chose One” Prophet – Hitting me in the back with the Wrangler.
[ He closes his eyes... ]
“The Modern-Day Messiah” The Chose One” Prophet – Ripping my precious book in half!!!
[ He opens his eyes and glares into the camera. ]
“The Modern-Day Messiah” The Chose One” Prophet – I am a very understanding man. I understand that we have come to an impasse. I understand that you no longer believe in the ways of the Prophecy. I understand that you wish to leave our happy family. So, I propose this. Next Thursday night, right here on Afterburn; I will give you a chance to earn your freedom. If you beat me, I will open the door and allow you to walk out.
[ And he smiles evilly at the camera. ]
“The Modern-Day Messiah” The Chose One” Prophet – But if you lose, if I beat you; then you will swear fealty to me for the rest of your life!!!
[ The show cuts back to Caristico and Mike at the broadcast table. ]
Mike Godwinn – What a huge opportunity for Hopkins if he accepts the challenge. But he has to go into this match knowing also that if he loses this match then he basically becomes an indentured servant to Prophet for the rest of his life.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – It’s a huge risk for him to take. You know the Zealots are going to be out there watching Prophet’s back. You know he’s going to do everything he can to beat Hopkins!!! Do the pros outweigh the cons? Only Hopkins can answer that.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for our next match and it features Steve Scott taking on Psycho Messiah. We saw Messiah earlier attacking Shane McMahon and we also learned through Gail Kim that they will now face each other at All Hallows Evil. Let’s get back to the ring for the introductions.
Steve Scott vs Psycho Messiah
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit!! Making his way to the ring, weighing in at weight of 200 lbs.; this is… “Bloodlust” Steve Scott!!!
[ The crowd cheers as Steve Scott walks out on stage to “The Nobodies” by Marilyn Manson. Pyro explodes around him as he makes his way to the ring and climbs in!! ]
Mike Godwinn – Steve has done a nice job since joining the singles division as he sits on an eight and five record and is currently ranked second in the US title rankings.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – He’s done a real nice job since breaking up with Marc Fulton. He’s been hanging around title contention for months and even got his shot against Tank at Lethal lottery, coming up on the losing end of a tough match.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring first, weighing in at 210 lbs, 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 arms overhead. ]
Mike Godwinn – The former TV champ has been hunting Shane down since losing his TV title a few months back. I am sure he is salivating at the thought of getting his hands on him again!!!

[ Psycho Messiah drags Steve Scott into the center of the ring and covers him as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Steve Scott kicks out!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – Smart move by Messiah to get Steve to the center of the ring and cover him. Even though Steve kicked out, it gives Messiah a chance to see how much Steve’s got in the tank.
[ Psycho Messiah goes for a Cradle DDT, but Steve Scott counters it with a small package roll-up as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...and Messiah shoots his shoulder up!!! ]

Psycho Messiah whips Steve Scott into the ropes and Steve Scott comes off and hits a flying cross body press on Psycho Messiah and rolls him up as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Messiah gets his shoulder up!!! ]

[ Psycho Messiah complains to the referee about a slow count when suddenly “The Chicken Run Blast-O-Rama” by White Zombie plays across the arena and Lance Storm and Mike Sanders walks out on stage. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – These two jackasses got their asses handed to them at Stable Wars and they are coming back out here for more.
[ The Thrillers march down to the ring and stop at the bottom of the ramp as Messiah leans against the ropes begging them to get their asses in the ring. Steve Scott comes from behind and drives a forearm into the back of Messiah’s head stunning him. Steve Scott then hits the Kill Shot (diving DDT from the second rope) on Psycho Messiah. Steve Scott rolls up Psycho Messiah as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...3!!! ]
Time of match: 0:04:43
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match, Steve Scott!!!
Mike Godwinn – Great win by Steve Scott tonight, but it has to go down with an asterix with the blatant intrusion if I may say so by the Thrillers.
[ As if on cue, Lance Storm and Mike Sanders hit the ring and start stomping away on Messiah. Steve Scott rolls out of the ring, shoves the time keeper aside and grabs his steel chair. Steve rolls back into the ring and clears the Thrillers from the ring as the back peddle back up the ramp laughing and pointing at Messiah. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Messiah got lucky tonight that Steve Scott helped him out. Any other wrestler he might not have been so lucky tonight.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, Chandler Hopkins is not in the arena tonight; but we are lucky enough to have him zooming in from home. Chandler, how you doing tonight buddy?
[ The videotron shows the face of Chandler Hopkins as he sits at home at his ranch in North Texas. ]
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – I’m doing well Mike. Caristico, good to see you too.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Hi Chandler. Listen, let’s get right to the point, shall we? Tonight, Prophet laid out the challenge for next Thursday night. He said that he is willing to release you from the Prophecy if you can defeat him. But if you lose to him, then you will be basically an indentured servant to him for life. Do you accept his challenge?
[ Hopkins takes a swig of his Lone Star beer and places it on the arm rest of his chair. ]
“The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins – Prophet has the audacity to call me out? To challenge me? Son, I lured you in and you swallowed the entire hook. You want this match, you got it. Come Thursday night on Adrenaline, I am not only going to win back my freedom, but I am going to end your precious Prophecy for good!!! See you Thursday night.
[ The cameras cut back to Mike and Caristico at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn – There you have it folks. Short and right to the point. Chandler Hopkins has agreed to face Prophet next week right here on Afterburn and Hopkins freedom is on the line.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I have never called a match where someone’s freedom is on the line and I’ve been in this business for years. What a huge match this is going to be for both men.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for tonight’s main event as the former World Heavyweight Champion Alexander Stone makes his long-awaited return to the Empire as he takes on the former TV champion Raven Horse. If Raven Horse can beat Stone, then Shane has promised to reinstate him back onto the roster.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Raven Horse beat Stone? I’ve faced Stone and let me tell you something, Raven Horse has a better chance flying to the moon by strapping a rocket to his ass than beating Stone.
Mike Godwinn – Man, this should be good. It’s the Stonebreaker versus the Halo. Let’s go back to the ring one last time tonight as our very own JoJo Rodriguez is ready with tonight’s introductions!!!
The Main Event
Alexander Stone vs Raven Horse
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit!!! Making his way to the ring weighing in at 247 lbs., 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 and climbs in posing on the second turnbuckle. ]
Mike Godwinn – Raven Horse is being peppered with vicious boos as he stretches out pulling on the ropes. If he can find a way to beat Alexander Stone tonight, he will be put back on the roster. Can you just imagine what kind of an impact that would make to the men’s roster if he can get reinstated?
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I’m going to be honest with you, the Empire doesn’t need this kind of guy. Beside being the TV champion for two months, he spent most of that time dodging the competition finding every conceivable way to keep his belt.

[ “Hyperpower” by Nine Inch Nails blares across the arena as Alexander Stone marches down to the ring. The sold-out cheers him as he climbs into the ring takes off his jacket and sunglasses off and tosses them to the floor. ]
Mike Godwinn – My God, Alexander Stone looks to be in better shape now than he did two months ago when Travis Blake put him on the shelf. But I will say this. Two months is a very long time to be out of the ring and if Raven Horse has any chance of winning tonight, he has to hope that there’s a ton of ring rust.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Stone is six foot three and weighs two-fifty-one. Raven Horse is six-foot seven and weighs two-forty-seven. These are two very big men in that ring tonight, but the edge has to go to Stone. He just has too many big match wins under his belt to lose to a guy like Raven Horse.
[ Alexander Stone attacks Raven Horse before the bell driving a European uppercut into Raven Horse. Alexander Stone uses a go-behind on Raven Horse and slaps the back of his head a few times taunting the former TV champion.

Alexander Stone runs into the corner and drives a knee into Raven Horse. Stone hits a bridging Exploder suplex on Raven Horse going for the cover as Joey Jiles counts ...1 ...2 ...and Raven Horse gets his shoulder up!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – It’s early in the match, but Stone is clearly overpowering Raven Horse right now. It doesn’t seem like he’s missed a beat since his sabbatical.

Raven Horse is going for the cover as Joey Jiles counts ...1 ...2 ...and Stone kicks out!!! ]

[ Raven Horse runs into the ropes and hits Alexander Stone with a big elbow. Raven Horse goes for a gutbuster, but Alexander Stone counters it with a front-layout suplex.

Mike Godwinn – Folks, that’s all for tonight. We invite you all back here Monday night for Adrenaline!!!! Caristico, thanks for bailing Pezzer out buddy.
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Always my pleasure. Good-night everyone.
Epilogue
[ A few hours after the show goes off the air we swing back to the office of Shane McMahon where we see Shane talking on the phone with someone as Nash, Go-D, Simmons and Thompson are playing cards at a nearby table. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Yeah. I understand. Yes, I said I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll get it done.
[ Shane hangs the phone up and takes a deep breath. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of famer Go-D – What’s the matter boss? You look like you have some heavy shit on your mind.
[ Shane looks back over at the table and sees the huge stacks of chips in-front of Go-D. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – That was Mark. He’s insisting that you defend your World Heavyweight title.
[ Go-D laughs it off. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of famer Go-D – I will. All Hallows Evil is still over two weeks away.
[ Shane chuckles. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – You’re not understanding what I’m saying. He wants you to defend your World title before the pay per view.
[ Go-D looks at him crooked. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of famer Go-D – This is bullshit.
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Yeah, well; he doesn’t see it that way and he own’s this place so that leaves us little choice.
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of famer Go-D – So who am I supposed to face? And how long is he giving me?
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – He’s giving me until Monday on Adrenaline to make the announcement and then you have to defend it Thursday night in the main event!!!
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of famer Go-D – He’s giving me a week!!! A fucking week!!! God, I liked this asshole better when he was a drunk.
[ Shane turns away and looks out the window as the rain pours down. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Just give me time and I’ll figure it all out.
To be continued...
