Live from the sold-out Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona
Thursday Night May 6th, 2021
8:00pm EST
[ The shows opens with the Titantron showing the Empires new promo video package with all the new stars of the Empire like Alexander Stone, the Lynch Mob, the Zombie Bride Su Yim and many, many more with their high risk, high impact moves to the music of "Till I Collapse" by Eminem blasting across the arena in unison with the pyrotechnics lighting the place up. The entire arena erupts in a chorus of cheers as the show comes on air. The music and pyro's stop as the cameras fade down to our broadcast table as Mike Godwinn and “The Living Legend” Pezzer are standing by. ]
Mike Godwinn - Good evening folks and welcome to another amazing night of action right here in the World Wrestling Empire!! I am your host, Mike Godwinn and I am joined by my broadcast colleague, and self-proclaimed Living Legend… Pezzer and this is… Afterburn!!! The Empire’s newest show featuring all the amazing stars right here in the World Wrestling Empire!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – You’re damn right I’m a living legend. Just look at the marquee above the Afterburn banner. It’s got my face up there!!! People paid good money to see me!!!
Mike Godwinn – Uh, correct me if I’m wrong; but my face is right up there right next to yours you know.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – That’s because you begged Mark to put your face up there like some little girl. He felt so bad for you that he had no choice to put you up there next to me just to shut your ass up. But let’s be perfectly clear Mikey, nobody is looking at your ugly mug!!! It’s all about me.
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, I don’t mean to interrupt you; but we have a huge debut show tonight to talk about so let’s get right to it.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – You have my permission, but I’m sure it won’t be the last time you interrupt me, but go ahead anyway.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, we are just four nights removed from the biggest pay per view to date where we all witnessed five title changes take place!!! Raven Horse finally defeated Chandler Hopkins for the Television title. The Chain Gang defeated the Guerillas of Destiny for the World Tag Team titles!!! The Twisted SisterZ defeated Medusa Complex to win the Women’s World Tag Team titles!!! Amber Nova defeated Bloody Mary to regain her Women’s World title and finally, Prophet upset Alexander Stone for the World Heavyweight title!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Prophet did what none of us thought he could do and that’s beat Stone at his own game. Big props to the new champion, but he’s got no clue what kind of target he just put on his back. Trust me, I know all about it. I was a thirteen-time champion so I know a little bit about going from being the hunter… to being the hunted!!!
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, on our kick-off show tonight we have six huge matches. The Woke Queens are back in action as they take on Exile. Both teams come into this match searching for their first win here in the Empire. They are a combined oh and five heading into tonight’s bout.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – With any luck, one of these teams will get the “W” tonight and break their losing streak. Both teams are much better than their record shows, but this is a tough Women’s Tag Team division to say the least.
Mike Godwinn – We will also see the undefeated Steve Scott take on Funny Bones, later on. What are your thoughts on this match?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Steve Scott has been on a nice run, but he’s more of a tag team kinda guy. The only reason he’s wrestling in the singles division is that his partner Marc Fulton is still out on the shelf healing up. Both of these guys need this win tonight if they are going to keep on track toward a title shot down the road.
Mike Godwinn – The main event will feature a couple of the top ranked guys in Kahagas taking on Arik Cannon. Both men have tumbled in the World title rankings these past few weeks, but each are knocking on the door for Tito Escobar’s United States title belt. How do you see this match playing out?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I have to tell you; Tito has that title locked down tight for months. His record is right up there with guys like Stone and Prophet. I’m not saying that these guys can’t beat him. Any given night is what they say right? But it’s going to be an uphill battle when they do get their shot, I know that.
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, I’m getting word that one half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champion’s Thunder Rosa is on her way out to the ring!!! I have to believe that she must have watched the tape from the pay per view and saw what her tag team partner did to win the match!!
[ The crowd goes wild as “Unstoppable” by KatDeluna rocks the arena as Thunder Rosa walks out on stage with her new Women’s World title around her waist. ]
[ She climbs into the ring and asks for a microphone and JoJo hands her one. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – Holidead, sister; I know you’re somewhere in the building so I need you to get out here and talk to me!!!
[ Thunder Rosa waits when the crowd erupts in a chorus of boos as “8 Mile” by Eminem erupts across the arena. The United States Heavyweight Champion Tito Escobar struts out all cocky with his Mexican Heavyweight championship around his waist followed by Los Vipers and Holidead with her Women’s World Tag Team title belt around her waist. ]
Mike Godwinn – This isn’t a good sign when Holidead comes out with hew new found friends in tow.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The Cartel sunk its claws deep into Holidead and it looks like she drank every bit of the Kool-Aid. After watching the pay per view, you had to know that these two women were eventually going to have words.
[ They all climb into the ring and JoJo hands Holidead a microphone. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – Why did you bring them? (as she points at Tito and Los Vipers) This has nothing to do with them!!! This is about us, and these!!!
[ And Thunder Rosa slaps the Women’s World Tag Team title around her waist. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – They are my friends. They have my back.
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – I’m your friend!!! I thought you had my back!!!
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – I do have your back!!! And if you would just listen to what Tito has to say…
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – Really? You’ve got my back? So, since when do we use cheap shots to win matches!!! And since when do we trust dirt bags like him? (as she points at Tito) I seen what you did!!! There was no need for it!!
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – No Rosa wait… let me explain!!!
[ Thunder Rosa shakes her head no as she points up at the videotron and it comes to life flashing back to the pay per view match that they had with Medusa Complex just a few nights ago. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – This isn’t going to be good for Holidead!!! Thunder Rosa has video footage. There’s no way she’s going to be able to explain herself out of this!!!
[ Thunder Rosa tries an Exploder suplex into the turnbuckles, but Millie McKenzie counters it with an elbowsmash. Holidead leaves the ring. Millie McKenzie executes an Exploder suplex into the turnbuckles against Thunder Rosa. A few fans are cheering on Millie McKenzie. Millie McKenzie hits a diving elbowdrop on Thunder Rosa. Millie McKenzie is going for the pin as Yali Sapphire counts …1 …2 …and Thunder Rosa gets her shoulder up. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Holy shit I really thought Millie had her there!!
[ Tito Escobar jumps up onto the ring apron and distracts the referee as Thunder Rosa whips Millie McKenzie into the ropes. Holidead uses the United States Heavyweight title belt and hits Millie McKenzie in the head!! Thunder Rosa puts Millie McKenzie in a sleeperhold as Yali Sapphire turns around and checks Millie McKenzie's arm. She lifts it …and it falls!!! She lifts it …and it falls a second time!!! She lifts it …and it falls for the final time!!! Yali Sapphire calls for the bell!!! ]
[ The videotron shuts down and Thunder Rosa turns back to see Tito Escobar whispering in Holidead’s ear filling her head with more lies. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – Why did you do that? We could have taken them without you cheating!!!
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – I did what needed to be done!!! We deserve these belts!!! (as she slaps the one that she is wearing)
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – Yes, we do deserve them. But we deserved to beat Medusa Complex fairly!!! We’re not cheaters!!! This is not what we’re about!!! And for that… for what you did to them… to us… I don’t want these like that!!!
[ And she takes her Women’s World Tag Team title belt off. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – Rosa what… what the hell are you doing?!
[ Thunder Rosa looks back up the ramp… ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – Medusa Complex, I know that you are back there watching and listening. I need you to come down to the ring!!!
[ Holidead starts to panic. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – No, no, no don’t do this!!! We can talk this out!!! We can fix this!!! Rosa, you don’t need to do this!!!
Mike Godwinn – I see where this is going and it’s not going to end well for Twisted SisterZ.
[ “Living Dead Girl” by Rob Zombie rocks the arena as the fans cheer on the very popular Medusa Complex. The two women make their way out on stage glaring down at the very crowded ring!!! ]
Charli Evans – Let me get this right. After what the two of you did to us at the Pay Per View, you expect us to come down there and climb into the snake pit just so we can get bitten again? Screw all of you!!!
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – I know how this looks, but you need to trust me. I have no bad intentions toward either of you. I’ve called you out here to make things right.
[ Holidead snatches the mic away from her friend. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – Don’t listen to her!!! She doesn’t know what the hell she’s saying!!! You’ll both get your rematch… in due time!!!
Millie McKenzie – You’re damn right we’re going to get our rematch, and we’re not waiting for Queen of the Ring to get it either!!!
[ The crowd goes crazy booing as "Here Comes The Money" by Naughty by Nature explodes across the arena and shockingly, the owner of the WWCF Shane McMahon comes walking out. ]
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, what… what in the hell is Shane McMahon doing here?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I’ve got no clue. The WWCF shut down in 2015. He’s been off the grid ever since. This is news to me!!!
[ Shane walks down to the ring and climbs in asking for a microphone. Ring announcer JoJo Rodriguez reaches through the ropes handing him one. ]
The owner of the WWCF and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Thank you JoJo. (and he looks at Holidead and Thunder Rosa) Ladies, I believe that we can settle this right now.
[ Tito Escobar grabs the microphone from Holidead. ]
The United States Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – And who the hell are you, exactly?
[ Shane smiles at Tito. ]
The owner of the WWCF and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Yeah, I figured I was going to get that reaction when I walked out on World Wrestling Empire television. What’s Shane doing here? He’s the enemy of the Empire!!! Marks sworn enemy!!! He steals talent!! He built a rival federation!!! The Empires evil twin!!! How could Mark ever let this guy into the building? This is blasphemy!!! This is scared ground!!!
[ Shane reaches out with his open hand looking to shake Tito’s. ]
The owner of the WWCF and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – The names Shane McMahon… and I’m the CEO of the World Wrestling Empire. (and he smiles at them) Pleasure to finally meet you.
[ Tito and Los Vipers openly laugh at Shane. ]
The owner of the WWCF and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – I’m sorry, I missed the joke. What’s so funny? The fact that the man that used to run a rival federation and nearly drove this company into extinction is standing right in the middle of the WWE’s ring, or maybe it’s the fact that… I run this show along with every one of you under contract!!!
[ And Shane goes nose to nose with Tito. ]
The owner of the WWCF and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Now, I highly suggest that you take your boys here and get the hell out of my ring and let these ladies conduct business.
[ Tito at first looks like he doesn’t want to budge, but eventually he hands Holidead the mic back and motions for his men to follow him and they leave the ring walking up the ramp past Medusa Complex and into the backstage area. Shane looks back up the rampway and motions toward Medusa Complex. ]
The owner of the WWCF and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Ladies, if you don’t mind; it might be easier to do this face to face. It’s ok. They won’t do anything; you’ve got my word.
[ The crowd cheers as Medusa Complex walks down to the ring and climbs in going face to face with Twisted SisterZ, eyeballing the Worlds Tag Team titles that they were cheated out of. ]
The owner of the WWCF and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Easy does it now. Thunder… I can call you Thunder right… you had something on your mind? Something that you wanted to say?
[ Thunder Rosa goes nose to nose with Holidead and looks her dead in the eyes. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – I’ve always wanted to be World Tag Team Champions with you… my sister!!! But not like this. Not the way you did it!!! Not cheating!!!
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – No Rosa. Think about what you are about to do!! Think about this!!!
[ Thunder Rosa turns back toward Medusa Complex. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – We cheated to beat you… and I don’t want to win these that way!!! You don’t deserve to lose your titles that way!!!
The owner of the WWCF and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – So… what are you saying Rosa?
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – Rosa, don’t do this!!!
[ Thunder Rosa looks at Holidead and then back to Shane. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – We cheated to win these, and I won’t have that on my conscience.
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – Rosa, don’t!!!
[ Thunder Rosa looks at Holidead. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – You betrayed our beliefs and for what? Tito Escobar and his Cartel? I thought we were sisters? I thought that you were Mi Familia?
[ Holidead begs her as she takes her World Tag Team title off. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – We are Mi Familia!! You don’t need to do this!!! We can fix this!!!
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – Yes. Yes, I can fix this.
[ And Rosa turns back to Shane reaching out and handing him her Women’s World tag Team title belt. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – We forfeit our titles. I don’t want to be a champion that way.
[ Holidead’s face turns evil. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – You stupid bitch!!!
[ And Holidead lashes out and hits Thunder Rosa in the back of the head with her Women’s World Tag Team title belt dropping Rosa to the mat!!! Holidead rolls out of the ring, tossing her belt over the top rope landing at Shane’s feet. Millie and Charli help Thunder Rosa get back to her feet as Holidead storms back up the ramp all pissed off. ]
The owner of the WWCF and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – I think that these belong to you.
[ And Shane hands Medusa Complex their Women’s World Team title belts back to them. ]
The owner of the WWCF and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – I’ll make sure that your records are corrected and that loss at the pay per view never existed.
[ The sold out crowd roars to their feet as Millie McKenzie and Charli Evans stand proudly in the center of the ring with their Women’s World Tag Team titles back in hand!!! ]
[ The show swings to the backstage area where chaos is erupting as Boris Drago and the Koloff Dynasty are being pulled off of Joey Lynch of the Lynch Mob!!! ]
[ As security forces force the Triad to leave Joey alone, his brother Matt Lynch rushes into the scene to tend to his brother who is on the ground holding his right knee and bloody head. ]
Matt Lynch – Joey, what the hell happened?! Talk to me!!! What the hell happened man?!
[ Matt looks up at the EMT’s and security guards. ]
Security Guard – It’s was those Russian Triad guys. They attacked your brother and took him out!!!
Matt Lynch – Son of a bitch!!!
[ The show goes back to Mike and Pezzer at the ringside broadcast table as the EMT’s load Joey onto a stretcher and wheel him away to a waiting ambulance. ]
Mike Godwinn – What a stunning turn of events to start off our very first show!!! I’m at a loss for words right now and I don’t know where to start!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – That’s why I’m here to help you. Let’s start off with Shane McMahon being the CEO of the Empire!!! How the hell did that even happen? How long has Mark and Shane been in contact with one another? Days, weeks, years… how long?! I’ve got questions damn-it and I need answers!!!
Mike Godwinn – It’s not just that, but what about Twisted SisterZ relinquishing their Women’s World Tag Team titles back to Medusa Complex? What a bombshell that was that Thunder Rosa just dropped on Holidead!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I see I’m going to be spending a ton of time correcting you, but that’s what I get paid for; I guess. It’s wasn’t Twisted SisterZ that gave their belts back… it was Thunder Rosa. She had a guilty conscious and couldn’t live with the fact that her best friend Holidead did some underhanded shit.
Mike Godwinn – But did she need to hit her from behind with that belt like she did? That just ended years of them being friends!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I don’t know what’s going on inside Holidead’s head right now. What I do know is that these two women are on a collision course down the road, and it aint too far off if you ask me. There’s no way that Thunder Rosa is just going to walk away from what Holidead did to her tonight. No friggen way.
Mike Godwinn – And what about Boris Drago and his Triad taking out Joey Lynch? By doing that it puts the Lynch Mob in a very precarious situation tonight against the Koloff Dynasty. Will Matt have to forfeit the match or will he take them on two on one?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I doubt Matt is going to just forfeit the match!! If the Lynch Mob has to forfeit their match tonight, it goes down as a “W” in the Triad’s win column. It’s a pretty smart move for a team that has yet to score a win in the Empire, but I think that there’s no friggen way that Matt Lynch is going to let that happen without a fight!!
Mike Godwinn – Pezz, it’s time to get right to the action as we feature the Women’s tag team division!!! It’s the Woke Queens back in action as they take on Exile!!! JoJo, take it away.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – It’s Pezzer… or Living Legend. But for Christ sakes, not Pezz yah dumb jack-wagon!!!
The Woke Queens vs The Exiles
“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 Malia Hosaka, and weighing in at a combined weight of 300 lbs, Genesis and Exodus; they are… Exile!!!
[ The crowd boos their asses off as “Head like a hole” by Nine Inch Nails plays. Malia Hosaka escorts her girls down to the ring and they all climb in seemingly feeding off the crowds jeers. ]
Mike Godwinn – Now Exile may be oh and two, but in their last match against Twisted SisterZ they went well beyond the twenty-minute time limit and nearly beat the now former champions.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Yeah, not a big fan of these two women; but I gotta give them their props. They busted their asses against Twisted SisterZ and whatever Malia Hosaka is showing them is paying off.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring, weighing in at a combined weight of 251 lbs., Debbie Kietel and Valkyrie; they are… the Woke Queens!!!
[ The crowd pops as the Woke Queens strut down to the ring to the music of “See your hands” by Viceversah. The Woke Girls roll into the ring and they play to the fans snapping their fingers to the chants of “Woke Girls!! Woke Girls!!”
Mike Godwinn – These two women are like a couple of garden snakes. They seemingly cheated their way into the Women’s Tag Team title match at Day of Reckoning just because they stole the belts off of Caged Heat!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I like them. They have what it takes to do whatever it takes to win gold here in the Empire and I have to commend that. They got guts standing up to two women like Caged Heat knowing that they will probably get their asses kicked.

Genesis is met with a mixture of cheers and boos. Genesis is going for the pin and she uses the ropes for leverage as Todd Sinclair counts …1 …2 …but he sees it and he threatens Genesis with disqualification. ]

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Yeah, it was a great match; but it’s too bad that neither of them could have picked up the “W” tonight. That’s what they both wanted in the worst way. They both needed that if they want to climb back into… what the hell!!!

Matt Lynch – Who?

Matt Lynch – I thought DDP was our boss.
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – He is your boss. But I’m his boss… and your boss too. Anyway, I’m sorry to hear about what happened to your bother Joey. I’m sure he’s going to be fine. The problem I have is, you’re now down a partner for tonight. Now that leaves us with a couple of choices. You can either forfeit the match…
Matt Lynch – I’m not forfeiting shit!!!
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Ok fine, I can feel the positive energy in you. That’s cool. The second choice would be to go out there alone and take on the Koloff Dynasty in a handicap match… or… or…and hear me out… you can get another partner to tag with you tonight.
Matt Lynch – Are you shitting me? Those are my choices? Two on one against the Triad or find a new partner? I’ll get my ass kicked out there two on one and you know it!!
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Yeah, probably so… but that leads me to the third option I mentioned… finding a new partner.
Matt Lynch – A new partner? Most of the roster are on their way to Adrenaline. How the hell am I supposed to find a partner this late in the night.
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Well, I just so happen to know of a guy that’s looking for a match tonight…

Matt Lynch – I didn’t watch it. Me and my brother were out drinking beers.
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Yeah, sounds like fun. Anyway… you need a partner for your match tonight, and Travis here is looking for a match. Sounds to me like a match made in heaven!!!
[ Shane smiles as he waits for an answer. ]
Matt Lynch – I guess it’s a little better than a handicap match. Come-on kid.
[ Matt Lynch and Travis Blake walks off leaving Shane standing there smiling. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – You kids have fun out there!!!
[ The shows goes back to Pezzer and Mike Godwinn at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – Talk about rebooking a match on the fly. Matt Lynch will now team with rookie sensation Travis Blake to take on the Koloff Dynasty later tonight.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – As much as I agree with Matt Lynch when he said it’s better than a handicap match, sometimes these quick team-ups are just as bad. These two guys have no idea how to tag with each other. Matt and Joey Lynch are brothers. They shared the same womb. There’s an unbreakable bond between them. What kind of bond does Travis and Matt Lynch have going into this match. Let me answer that for you, chucklehead… nothing.
Mike Godwinn – I would love to continue this conversation with you, but it’s time for our second match of the night and it features the unbeaten Steve Scott taking on Funny Bones. Let’s rejoin our ring announcer JoJo Rodriguez in the ring.

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I just can’t take this guy seriously. I think it’s that freaky skull mask he wears. I just don’t like it. Skull masks and clown masks. Ever since I watched “IT” I’m just not a big fanboy of it!!! Take the damn mask off.

[ Bulk slams the mic down to the mat and it bounces away as EMT’s rush into the ring to tend to Steve Scott. The cameras pan to the back as we see Katie Forbes walking around when she bumps into Spice. ]

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The older veteran of the Women’s roster is Malia Hosaka. There’s not much that she hasn’t seen or done throughout the years.

Mike Godwinn – You know, it’s too bad that this match ended like it did; but all the credit has to go to the referee for making that tough decision to end it right there.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Most referees will let you push things right to the hairy edge, but I gotta admit; putting a referee in harm’s way will get you DQ’d every time.
Mike Godwinn – Yes it will. Folks, I’m getting word that we are about to hear from the Women’s National Champion Shanna Furguson. Let’s go to the back and listen in.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Courtney Cox alongside Shanna Furguson. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Shanna, first off congratulations on your big win at Eve of Destruction just four nights ago when you defeated Su Yim to retain your Women’s National title.
The Women’s National Champion “The Beast” Shanna Furguson – Thank you, but like I told everyone; this title is staying with me!!! I’m the National champion today, tomorrow and for a long time to come!!!
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Looking ahead to who could be your next challenger for your title, the rankings just came out and we see that Maria Manic has leap frogged into the number one contender’s spot. How have you changed since your last big match against her at Crossfire in that Last Woman Standing match?
The Women’s National Champion “The Beast” Shanna Furguson – Obviously, it’s this. (and she adjusts her title belt over her shoulder) While she plays games with Amber Nova, Havok and Bloody Mary; the one thing that stays constant is me!!! I am the beast that keeps slaying the competition!!! They can line up whoever they want, it doesn’t matter to me!!! I’ll beat all their asses down!!!
[ In mid interview, Salena and Caged Heat walks in interrupting the champion. ]
[ Shanna tries to get into a defensive position knowing that she is outnumbered. ]
The Women’s National Champion “The Beast” Shanna Furguson – What do you want?
[ Salena smiles at her. ]
Salena – What I want… (and she runs her finger down the Women’s National title belt.) …is you. You see, we are looking to grow the ranks of the Nation, and we think that you would make an incredible addition to our stable.
The Women’s National Champion “The Beast” Shanna Furguson – You want me… to join your little team?
Salena – Honey, we aren’t any little team. I have the World Tag Team Champions the Chain Gang under my wing along with the soon to be Women’s World Tag Team Champions Caged Heat. What I want to add now is a woman of power within the Women’s division and that powerful woman is you!!!
[ Shanna thinks about it… ]
Salena – I can see that the wheels are turning so I tell you what. You think about it and when the time is right, we’ll come looking for our answer. We hope you make the right one.
[ Salena and Caged Heat walk away leaving Shanna there to mull over her answer as the show swings back to Pezzer and Mike Godwinn at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – Man, Salena wants to keep adding to her team and she’s got her sights set on the Women’s National Champion Shanna Furguson!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The name of their team is pretty good too. I like that they kept it simple calling themselves the Nation. It’s got a good ring to it don’t you think?
Mike Godwinn – What I think is, Shanna would be crazy to turn down her offer. The protection alone that she would get by having them watch her back while she’s champion is priceless. Anyway folks, it’s time to get back to the action as Matt Lynch of the Lynch Mob teams up with Travis Blake to take on the Koloff Dynasty. Can these two co-exist? Let’s find out!!!
Matt Lynch & Travis Blake vs The Koloff Dynasty
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following tag team match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making his way to the ring first, weighing in at 233 lbs., he is… Matt Lynch!!
[ A mixture of cheers and boos ring out as “War” by Lynch Mob explodes across the stadium as the two brawling brothers march out on stage. They high five each other and race down to the ring diving under the bottom ropes. ]
Mike Godwinn – I would have loved to have seen Joey and Matt together to take on the Triad. That would have been a great match to witness.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Let’s not sell this new kid short. He’s new to the Empire and he sure as hell wants to make a name for himself. I just don’t know if these two guys who are very different can gel.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And his tag team partner. Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 175 lbs, he is "The Clown Prince of Pro-Wrestling”, he is… Travis Blake!!!

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – If you talk about pure cruiserweights, this kid is it. I just don’t know how he’s going to fair against some of the giants in the Empire. This should be a good measuring stick tonight against the Koloff boys as they both clock in north of two-hundred pounds apiece.

[ The Russian National anthem plays as the sold out crowd boos and the two large Russian’s march down to the ring proudly waving their Russian flags. ]
Mike Godwinn – Their record may not show it, but these two Russians are tough S.O.B.’s. They are straight up brawlers and they aren’t going to bring anything too flashy to the dance. Their job is to beat the holy hell out of you and they do it well.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I like these guys. They remind me of the fifties and sixties when it was all about grounding your opponent and manipulating the joints until they snapped. They just look mean.

Now she wants to run around and play the role of hero. The nightingale of the Empire!!! Thunder Rosa, you are going to wish you never met me!!! You and I will meet in the ring, and when we do, I am going to end your career!!!
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Thank you Holidead… I think. Turning to you now Tito Escobar, you are coming off a very questionable victory over Boris Drago where your next girlfriend Holidead attacked Drago hitting him with a title belt.
The United States Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – Listen to me. Whatever we did to win that match, Boris Drago not only would have done the same thing but he would have done it worse so don’t stand there and chastise me for what I had to do to win.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – But don’t you feel even the slightest remorse for cheating?
The United States Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – You only cheat, if you get caught!!!
[ Tito’s big smile turns sour as the CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon walks into the interview. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Shane?

The United States Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – What do you want?
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – What do I want? Now that’s a great question. I want world peace. I want the WWCF to come back and be strong again. I want everyone to get along!!!

It’s going to be an Eve of Destruction rematch. You versus Boris Drago for the United States Heavyweight title, inside a steel cage!!! See you next week.
[ Shane storms off the set as the Cartel stands there all pissed off. The show goes back to Pezzer and Mike Godwinn at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – Shane McMahon has found a way to get under the Cartel’s skin on the very first night we are on the air!!! I’m not sure if that’s a good thing, or a bad thing.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I’m not going to say either way, but what I am going to say is that the Cartel won’t forget what he did to them anytime soon.
Mike Godwinn – It’s time now for more diva’s action as Amber O’Neal is still in-search of that big first win as she takes on Solo Darling who’s been on a little winning streak of her won winning the last two of her matches. Let’s rejoin JoJo in the ring.

“The Irish Ass-kicker” Arik Cannon – My pleasure.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Ever since losing your World title shot against Alexander Stone back at the Undisputed pay per view, you have gone on somewhat of a losing streak dropping matches to the likes of Prophet and Funny Bones. Now tonight, you have to face another tough opponent in Kahagas who has the same record as you do. The both of you are jockeying for position for a shot at Tito Escobar’s United States Heavyweight title. How have you prepared for this match tonight?
“The Irish Ass-kicker” Arik Cannon – Let’s talk about Prophet for a moment, shall we? I took the champ to the limit!!! I gave him a beating that I’m sure he’s not going to forget for a long time and don’t think for a second lassie that just because I’ve dropped in the rankings a bit that I’ve taken my sights off of the World title. And Kahagas, he’s one tough guy; but I’m a tough guy too and tonight he’s going to know what it feels like to be in the ring with… the Irish Ass-kicker!!!
[ Arik Cannon storms off the set as the show swings back to Pezzer and Mike Godwinn at the broadcast table. ]
Mike Godwinn – “The Irish Ass-kicker” Arik Cannon seems bound and determined to end this losing streak that he’s been stuck in as of late. In order to get back into title contention, he’s going to have to go through the man they call “The Tokyo Monster” Kahagas who also needs this win tonight as bad as Arik does. The last time we saw both men compete it was back on April the 12th where they both suffered their most current losses.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Mikey, both of these guys have tasted what it feels like to fight for gold in this company and they are dying to get back into contention again. This should be a hell of a match in my opinion because both of these guys will stop at nothing to get to where they want to be.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for tonight’s main event!!! It’s Kahagas versus Arik Cannon!!! Let’s rejoin JoJo Rodriguez back in the ring one last time!!!
Kahagas vs Arik Cannon
“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 205 lbs.; he is… “The Tokyo Monster” Kahagas!!!
[ The crowd boos as the lights in the arena begin to flash and “Three Nill” by Slipknot erupts. Kahagas walks out, face painted in red as “The Tokyo Monster” makes his way down to the ring!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – Kahagas looks to be in great shape tonight and as we said earlier, we have not seen Kahagas since April 12th when he lost to the now World Heavyweight Champion Prophet in a Number One Contenders match where Prophet hit the End of Days on the ring steps and scored the win by countout.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – You know, I get it; anything goes and Prophet took advantage of the situation by hitting the End of Days on the ring steps… but come on man. If Prophet wants to be considered the true champion, beat the guy in the ring!!!
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And his opponent!!! Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 210 lbs., he is… “The Irish Ass-kicker” Arik Cannon!!
[ Love him or hate him, the crowd does love his entrance music as “I’m shipping up to Boston” by Dropkick Murphy’s rings across the stadium as the red headed Irish fighter marches down to the ring pissed off with his hands all taped up. He stomps up the stairs and climbs through the ropes ripping his leather jacket off and tossing it to the ringside attendant. ]
Mike Godwinn – We heard from Cannon earlier and he sounds like a man that will stop at nothing to climb back into title contention again. You can rest assured that losses to Prophet and Funny Bones are still raw like open wounds!!!

Epilogue
[ The show goes to black as the credits starts to roll. After a few seconds, the show comes back on the air and we see “The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran walk into a bar. ]
[ Not much of a crowd can be seen as the lights are dimmed low and 80’s music can be heard from the old juke box sitting at the far end of the room. Tran scans the room until he sees the man he’s come looking for. He walks up to him and sees the man nursing a beer. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – I thought you gave that shit up?
[ The man chuckles, never turning to look at Tran. ]
Unknown man sitting at the bar – I thought you said you could handle Page.
[ Tran rolls his eyes. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – Yeah, well I was wrong. Sue me. So, what do we do now?
Unknown man sitting at the bar – What do we do now?
[ and the man gets up off his stool and turns to face Tran revealing himself to be none other than Go-D!!! ]
Go-D – Now it’s time to remind Mark what he destroyed!!!
[ And Tran and Go-D walk out of the bar to a waiting Uber. ]
Thursday Night May 6th, 2021
8:00pm EST
[ The shows opens with the Titantron showing the Empires new promo video package with all the new stars of the Empire like Alexander Stone, the Lynch Mob, the Zombie Bride Su Yim and many, many more with their high risk, high impact moves to the music of "Till I Collapse" by Eminem blasting across the arena in unison with the pyrotechnics lighting the place up. The entire arena erupts in a chorus of cheers as the show comes on air. The music and pyro's stop as the cameras fade down to our broadcast table as Mike Godwinn and “The Living Legend” Pezzer are standing by. ]
Mike Godwinn - Good evening folks and welcome to another amazing night of action right here in the World Wrestling Empire!! I am your host, Mike Godwinn and I am joined by my broadcast colleague, and self-proclaimed Living Legend… Pezzer and this is… Afterburn!!! The Empire’s newest show featuring all the amazing stars right here in the World Wrestling Empire!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – You’re damn right I’m a living legend. Just look at the marquee above the Afterburn banner. It’s got my face up there!!! People paid good money to see me!!!
Mike Godwinn – Uh, correct me if I’m wrong; but my face is right up there right next to yours you know.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – That’s because you begged Mark to put your face up there like some little girl. He felt so bad for you that he had no choice to put you up there next to me just to shut your ass up. But let’s be perfectly clear Mikey, nobody is looking at your ugly mug!!! It’s all about me.
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, I don’t mean to interrupt you; but we have a huge debut show tonight to talk about so let’s get right to it.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – You have my permission, but I’m sure it won’t be the last time you interrupt me, but go ahead anyway.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, we are just four nights removed from the biggest pay per view to date where we all witnessed five title changes take place!!! Raven Horse finally defeated Chandler Hopkins for the Television title. The Chain Gang defeated the Guerillas of Destiny for the World Tag Team titles!!! The Twisted SisterZ defeated Medusa Complex to win the Women’s World Tag Team titles!!! Amber Nova defeated Bloody Mary to regain her Women’s World title and finally, Prophet upset Alexander Stone for the World Heavyweight title!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Prophet did what none of us thought he could do and that’s beat Stone at his own game. Big props to the new champion, but he’s got no clue what kind of target he just put on his back. Trust me, I know all about it. I was a thirteen-time champion so I know a little bit about going from being the hunter… to being the hunted!!!
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, on our kick-off show tonight we have six huge matches. The Woke Queens are back in action as they take on Exile. Both teams come into this match searching for their first win here in the Empire. They are a combined oh and five heading into tonight’s bout.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – With any luck, one of these teams will get the “W” tonight and break their losing streak. Both teams are much better than their record shows, but this is a tough Women’s Tag Team division to say the least.
Mike Godwinn – We will also see the undefeated Steve Scott take on Funny Bones, later on. What are your thoughts on this match?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Steve Scott has been on a nice run, but he’s more of a tag team kinda guy. The only reason he’s wrestling in the singles division is that his partner Marc Fulton is still out on the shelf healing up. Both of these guys need this win tonight if they are going to keep on track toward a title shot down the road.
Mike Godwinn – The main event will feature a couple of the top ranked guys in Kahagas taking on Arik Cannon. Both men have tumbled in the World title rankings these past few weeks, but each are knocking on the door for Tito Escobar’s United States title belt. How do you see this match playing out?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I have to tell you; Tito has that title locked down tight for months. His record is right up there with guys like Stone and Prophet. I’m not saying that these guys can’t beat him. Any given night is what they say right? But it’s going to be an uphill battle when they do get their shot, I know that.
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, I’m getting word that one half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champion’s Thunder Rosa is on her way out to the ring!!! I have to believe that she must have watched the tape from the pay per view and saw what her tag team partner did to win the match!!
[ The crowd goes wild as “Unstoppable” by KatDeluna rocks the arena as Thunder Rosa walks out on stage with her new Women’s World title around her waist. ]
[ She climbs into the ring and asks for a microphone and JoJo hands her one. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – Holidead, sister; I know you’re somewhere in the building so I need you to get out here and talk to me!!!
[ Thunder Rosa waits when the crowd erupts in a chorus of boos as “8 Mile” by Eminem erupts across the arena. The United States Heavyweight Champion Tito Escobar struts out all cocky with his Mexican Heavyweight championship around his waist followed by Los Vipers and Holidead with her Women’s World Tag Team title belt around her waist. ]
Mike Godwinn – This isn’t a good sign when Holidead comes out with hew new found friends in tow.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The Cartel sunk its claws deep into Holidead and it looks like she drank every bit of the Kool-Aid. After watching the pay per view, you had to know that these two women were eventually going to have words.
[ They all climb into the ring and JoJo hands Holidead a microphone. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – Why did you bring them? (as she points at Tito and Los Vipers) This has nothing to do with them!!! This is about us, and these!!!
[ And Thunder Rosa slaps the Women’s World Tag Team title around her waist. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – They are my friends. They have my back.
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – I’m your friend!!! I thought you had my back!!!
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – I do have your back!!! And if you would just listen to what Tito has to say…
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – Really? You’ve got my back? So, since when do we use cheap shots to win matches!!! And since when do we trust dirt bags like him? (as she points at Tito) I seen what you did!!! There was no need for it!!
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – No Rosa wait… let me explain!!!
[ Thunder Rosa shakes her head no as she points up at the videotron and it comes to life flashing back to the pay per view match that they had with Medusa Complex just a few nights ago. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – This isn’t going to be good for Holidead!!! Thunder Rosa has video footage. There’s no way she’s going to be able to explain herself out of this!!!
[ Thunder Rosa tries an Exploder suplex into the turnbuckles, but Millie McKenzie counters it with an elbowsmash. Holidead leaves the ring.

Holidead uses the United States Heavyweight title belt and hits Millie McKenzie in the head!!

She lifts it …and it falls for the final time!!! Yali Sapphire calls for the bell!!! ]
[ The videotron shuts down and Thunder Rosa turns back to see Tito Escobar whispering in Holidead’s ear filling her head with more lies. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – Why did you do that? We could have taken them without you cheating!!!
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – I did what needed to be done!!! We deserve these belts!!! (as she slaps the one that she is wearing)
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – Yes, we do deserve them. But we deserved to beat Medusa Complex fairly!!! We’re not cheaters!!! This is not what we’re about!!! And for that… for what you did to them… to us… I don’t want these like that!!!
[ And she takes her Women’s World Tag Team title belt off. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – Rosa what… what the hell are you doing?!
[ Thunder Rosa looks back up the ramp… ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – Medusa Complex, I know that you are back there watching and listening. I need you to come down to the ring!!!
[ Holidead starts to panic. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – No, no, no don’t do this!!! We can talk this out!!! We can fix this!!! Rosa, you don’t need to do this!!!
Mike Godwinn – I see where this is going and it’s not going to end well for Twisted SisterZ.
[ “Living Dead Girl” by Rob Zombie rocks the arena as the fans cheer on the very popular Medusa Complex. The two women make their way out on stage glaring down at the very crowded ring!!! ]
Charli Evans – Let me get this right. After what the two of you did to us at the Pay Per View, you expect us to come down there and climb into the snake pit just so we can get bitten again? Screw all of you!!!
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – I know how this looks, but you need to trust me. I have no bad intentions toward either of you. I’ve called you out here to make things right.
[ Holidead snatches the mic away from her friend. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – Don’t listen to her!!! She doesn’t know what the hell she’s saying!!! You’ll both get your rematch… in due time!!!
Millie McKenzie – You’re damn right we’re going to get our rematch, and we’re not waiting for Queen of the Ring to get it either!!!
[ The crowd goes crazy booing as "Here Comes The Money" by Naughty by Nature explodes across the arena and shockingly, the owner of the WWCF Shane McMahon comes walking out. ]
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, what… what in the hell is Shane McMahon doing here?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I’ve got no clue. The WWCF shut down in 2015. He’s been off the grid ever since. This is news to me!!!
[ Shane walks down to the ring and climbs in asking for a microphone. Ring announcer JoJo Rodriguez reaches through the ropes handing him one. ]
The owner of the WWCF and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Thank you JoJo. (and he looks at Holidead and Thunder Rosa) Ladies, I believe that we can settle this right now.
[ Tito Escobar grabs the microphone from Holidead. ]
The United States Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – And who the hell are you, exactly?
[ Shane smiles at Tito. ]
The owner of the WWCF and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Yeah, I figured I was going to get that reaction when I walked out on World Wrestling Empire television. What’s Shane doing here? He’s the enemy of the Empire!!! Marks sworn enemy!!! He steals talent!! He built a rival federation!!! The Empires evil twin!!! How could Mark ever let this guy into the building? This is blasphemy!!! This is scared ground!!!
[ Shane reaches out with his open hand looking to shake Tito’s. ]
The owner of the WWCF and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – The names Shane McMahon… and I’m the CEO of the World Wrestling Empire. (and he smiles at them) Pleasure to finally meet you.
[ Tito and Los Vipers openly laugh at Shane. ]
The owner of the WWCF and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – I’m sorry, I missed the joke. What’s so funny? The fact that the man that used to run a rival federation and nearly drove this company into extinction is standing right in the middle of the WWE’s ring, or maybe it’s the fact that… I run this show along with every one of you under contract!!!
[ And Shane goes nose to nose with Tito. ]
The owner of the WWCF and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Now, I highly suggest that you take your boys here and get the hell out of my ring and let these ladies conduct business.
[ Tito at first looks like he doesn’t want to budge, but eventually he hands Holidead the mic back and motions for his men to follow him and they leave the ring walking up the ramp past Medusa Complex and into the backstage area. Shane looks back up the rampway and motions toward Medusa Complex. ]
The owner of the WWCF and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Ladies, if you don’t mind; it might be easier to do this face to face. It’s ok. They won’t do anything; you’ve got my word.
[ The crowd cheers as Medusa Complex walks down to the ring and climbs in going face to face with Twisted SisterZ, eyeballing the Worlds Tag Team titles that they were cheated out of. ]
The owner of the WWCF and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Easy does it now. Thunder… I can call you Thunder right… you had something on your mind? Something that you wanted to say?
[ Thunder Rosa goes nose to nose with Holidead and looks her dead in the eyes. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – I’ve always wanted to be World Tag Team Champions with you… my sister!!! But not like this. Not the way you did it!!! Not cheating!!!
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – No Rosa. Think about what you are about to do!! Think about this!!!
[ Thunder Rosa turns back toward Medusa Complex. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – We cheated to beat you… and I don’t want to win these that way!!! You don’t deserve to lose your titles that way!!!
The owner of the WWCF and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – So… what are you saying Rosa?
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – Rosa, don’t do this!!!
[ Thunder Rosa looks at Holidead and then back to Shane. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – We cheated to win these, and I won’t have that on my conscience.
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – Rosa, don’t!!!
[ Thunder Rosa looks at Holidead. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – You betrayed our beliefs and for what? Tito Escobar and his Cartel? I thought we were sisters? I thought that you were Mi Familia?
[ Holidead begs her as she takes her World Tag Team title off. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – We are Mi Familia!! You don’t need to do this!!! We can fix this!!!
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – Yes. Yes, I can fix this.
[ And Rosa turns back to Shane reaching out and handing him her Women’s World tag Team title belt. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Thunder Rosa – We forfeit our titles. I don’t want to be a champion that way.
[ Holidead’s face turns evil. ]
One half of the Women’s World Tag Team Champions Holidead – You stupid bitch!!!
[ And Holidead lashes out and hits Thunder Rosa in the back of the head with her Women’s World Tag Team title belt dropping Rosa to the mat!!! Holidead rolls out of the ring, tossing her belt over the top rope landing at Shane’s feet. Millie and Charli help Thunder Rosa get back to her feet as Holidead storms back up the ramp all pissed off. ]
The owner of the WWCF and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – I think that these belong to you.
[ And Shane hands Medusa Complex their Women’s World Team title belts back to them. ]
The owner of the WWCF and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – I’ll make sure that your records are corrected and that loss at the pay per view never existed.
[ The sold out crowd roars to their feet as Millie McKenzie and Charli Evans stand proudly in the center of the ring with their Women’s World Tag Team titles back in hand!!! ]
[ The show swings to the backstage area where chaos is erupting as Boris Drago and the Koloff Dynasty are being pulled off of Joey Lynch of the Lynch Mob!!! ]
[ As security forces force the Triad to leave Joey alone, his brother Matt Lynch rushes into the scene to tend to his brother who is on the ground holding his right knee and bloody head. ]
Matt Lynch – Joey, what the hell happened?! Talk to me!!! What the hell happened man?!
[ Matt looks up at the EMT’s and security guards. ]
Security Guard – It’s was those Russian Triad guys. They attacked your brother and took him out!!!
Matt Lynch – Son of a bitch!!!
[ The show goes back to Mike and Pezzer at the ringside broadcast table as the EMT’s load Joey onto a stretcher and wheel him away to a waiting ambulance. ]
Mike Godwinn – What a stunning turn of events to start off our very first show!!! I’m at a loss for words right now and I don’t know where to start!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – That’s why I’m here to help you. Let’s start off with Shane McMahon being the CEO of the Empire!!! How the hell did that even happen? How long has Mark and Shane been in contact with one another? Days, weeks, years… how long?! I’ve got questions damn-it and I need answers!!!
Mike Godwinn – It’s not just that, but what about Twisted SisterZ relinquishing their Women’s World Tag Team titles back to Medusa Complex? What a bombshell that was that Thunder Rosa just dropped on Holidead!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I see I’m going to be spending a ton of time correcting you, but that’s what I get paid for; I guess. It’s wasn’t Twisted SisterZ that gave their belts back… it was Thunder Rosa. She had a guilty conscious and couldn’t live with the fact that her best friend Holidead did some underhanded shit.
Mike Godwinn – But did she need to hit her from behind with that belt like she did? That just ended years of them being friends!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I don’t know what’s going on inside Holidead’s head right now. What I do know is that these two women are on a collision course down the road, and it aint too far off if you ask me. There’s no way that Thunder Rosa is just going to walk away from what Holidead did to her tonight. No friggen way.
Mike Godwinn – And what about Boris Drago and his Triad taking out Joey Lynch? By doing that it puts the Lynch Mob in a very precarious situation tonight against the Koloff Dynasty. Will Matt have to forfeit the match or will he take them on two on one?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I doubt Matt is going to just forfeit the match!! If the Lynch Mob has to forfeit their match tonight, it goes down as a “W” in the Triad’s win column. It’s a pretty smart move for a team that has yet to score a win in the Empire, but I think that there’s no friggen way that Matt Lynch is going to let that happen without a fight!!
Mike Godwinn – Pezz, it’s time to get right to the action as we feature the Women’s tag team division!!! It’s the Woke Queens back in action as they take on Exile!!! JoJo, take it away.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – It’s Pezzer… or Living Legend. But for Christ sakes, not Pezz yah dumb jack-wagon!!!
The Woke Queens vs The Exiles
“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 Malia Hosaka, and weighing in at a combined weight of 300 lbs, Genesis and Exodus; they are… Exile!!!
[ The crowd boos their asses off as “Head like a hole” by Nine Inch Nails plays. Malia Hosaka escorts her girls down to the ring and they all climb in seemingly feeding off the crowds jeers. ]
Mike Godwinn – Now Exile may be oh and two, but in their last match against Twisted SisterZ they went well beyond the twenty-minute time limit and nearly beat the now former champions.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Yeah, not a big fan of these two women; but I gotta give them their props. They busted their asses against Twisted SisterZ and whatever Malia Hosaka is showing them is paying off.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring, weighing in at a combined weight of 251 lbs., Debbie Kietel and Valkyrie; they are… the Woke Queens!!!
[ The crowd pops as the Woke Queens strut down to the ring to the music of “See your hands” by Viceversah. The Woke Girls roll into the ring and they play to the fans snapping their fingers to the chants of “Woke Girls!! Woke Girls!!”
Mike Godwinn – These two women are like a couple of garden snakes. They seemingly cheated their way into the Women’s Tag Team title match at Day of Reckoning just because they stole the belts off of Caged Heat!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I like them. They have what it takes to do whatever it takes to win gold here in the Empire and I have to commend that. They got guts standing up to two women like Caged Heat knowing that they will probably get their asses kicked.

“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The referee has declared this match… a time limit draw!!!
Mike Godwinn – What a hell of a match!!! These two teams beat the hell out of each other for twenty-minutes!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Yeah, it was a great match; but it’s too bad that neither of them could have picked up the “W” tonight. That’s what they both wanted in the worst way. They both needed that if they want to climb back into… what the hell!!!

[ The show swings to the backstage area where we see Matt Lynch pacing around like a madman. The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon walks up to him all smiles. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Matt Lynch, right? (as he extends his hand toward Matt who just looks at it) Pleasure to meet you. I’m Shane McMahon.
Matt Lynch – Who?
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – I’m Shane McMahon. CEO of the Empire. Your boss. Never mind.
Matt Lynch – I thought DDP was our boss.
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – He is your boss. But I’m his boss… and your boss too. Anyway, I’m sorry to hear about what happened to your bother Joey. I’m sure he’s going to be fine. The problem I have is, you’re now down a partner for tonight. Now that leaves us with a couple of choices. You can either forfeit the match…
Matt Lynch – I’m not forfeiting shit!!!
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Ok fine, I can feel the positive energy in you. That’s cool. The second choice would be to go out there alone and take on the Koloff Dynasty in a handicap match… or… or…and hear me out… you can get another partner to tag with you tonight.
Matt Lynch – Are you shitting me? Those are my choices? Two on one against the Triad or find a new partner? I’ll get my ass kicked out there two on one and you know it!!
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Yeah, probably so… but that leads me to the third option I mentioned… finding a new partner.
Matt Lynch – A new partner? Most of the roster are on their way to Adrenaline. How the hell am I supposed to find a partner this late in the night.
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Well, I just so happen to know of a guy that’s looking for a match tonight…
[ Travis Blake walks into the scene and extends his hand to Matt Lynch. ]
“The Clown Prince of Wrestling” Travis Blake – Travis Blake.
[ Matt Lynch looks at Shane like he’s never heard of the kid. ]
Matt Lynch – Who the hell is this?
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – He’s Travis Blake. The Clown Prince of Wrestling. He beat Tiger King on the pay per view pre-show.
Matt Lynch – I didn’t watch it. Me and my brother were out drinking beers.
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Yeah, sounds like fun. Anyway… you need a partner for your match tonight, and Travis here is looking for a match. Sounds to me like a match made in heaven!!!
[ Shane smiles as he waits for an answer. ]
Matt Lynch – I guess it’s a little better than a handicap match. Come-on kid.
[ Matt Lynch and Travis Blake walks off leaving Shane standing there smiling. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – You kids have fun out there!!!
[ The shows goes back to Pezzer and Mike Godwinn at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – Talk about rebooking a match on the fly. Matt Lynch will now team with rookie sensation Travis Blake to take on the Koloff Dynasty later tonight.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – As much as I agree with Matt Lynch when he said it’s better than a handicap match, sometimes these quick team-ups are just as bad. These two guys have no idea how to tag with each other. Matt and Joey Lynch are brothers. They shared the same womb. There’s an unbreakable bond between them. What kind of bond does Travis and Matt Lynch have going into this match. Let me answer that for you, chucklehead… nothing.
Mike Godwinn – I would love to continue this conversation with you, but it’s time for our second match of the night and it features the unbeaten Steve Scott taking on Funny Bones. Let’s rejoin our ring announcer JoJo Rodriguez in the ring.
Steve Scott vs Funny Bones

Mike Godwinn – Funny Bones is coming off his big count-out win over Arik Cannon a few weeks ago that propelled him right into the Television title hunt. With a win tonight over the undefeated Steve Scott he may just put himself in line for a title shot at Civil War in a few weeks.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I just can’t take this guy seriously. I think it’s that freaky skull mask he wears. I just don’t like it. Skull masks and clown masks. Ever since I watched “IT” I’m just not a big fanboy of it!!! Take the damn mask off.

[ Bulk slams the mic down to the mat and it bounces away as EMT’s rush into the ring to tend to Steve Scott. The cameras pan to the back as we see Katie Forbes walking around when she bumps into Spice. ]

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – You heard the big guy. He’s tired of sitting around waiting for title matches to come to him. He just called out Raven Horse and he used poor Steve Scott as the exclamation point!!!

Mike Godwinn – When you take on one member of Exile, you take on them all. Malia currently is the number one contender to Amber Nova’s title. That of course is still in play as Bloody Mary is in line for a rematch first.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The older veteran of the Women’s roster is Malia Hosaka. There’s not much that she hasn’t seen or done throughout the years.

[ Shanna thinks about it… ]
Salena – I can see that the wheels are turning so I tell you what. You think about it and when the time is right, we’ll come looking for our answer. We hope you make the right one.
[ Salena and Caged Heat walk away leaving Shanna there to mull over her answer as the show swings back to Pezzer and Mike Godwinn at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – Man, Salena wants to keep adding to her team and she’s got her sights set on the Women’s National Champion Shanna Furguson!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The name of their team is pretty good too. I like that they kept it simple calling themselves the Nation. It’s got a good ring to it don’t you think?
Mike Godwinn – What I think is, Shanna would be crazy to turn down her offer. The protection alone that she would get by having them watch her back while she’s champion is priceless. Anyway folks, it’s time to get back to the action as Matt Lynch of the Lynch Mob teams up with Travis Blake to take on the Koloff Dynasty. Can these two co-exist? Let’s find out!!!
Matt Lynch & Travis Blake vs The Koloff Dynasty
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following tag team match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making his way to the ring first, weighing in at 233 lbs., he is… Matt Lynch!!
[ A mixture of cheers and boos ring out as “War” by Lynch Mob explodes across the stadium as the two brawling brothers march out on stage. They high five each other and race down to the ring diving under the bottom ropes. ]
Mike Godwinn – I would have loved to have seen Joey and Matt together to take on the Triad. That would have been a great match to witness.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Let’s not sell this new kid short. He’s new to the Empire and he sure as hell wants to make a name for himself. I just don’t know if these two guys who are very different can gel.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And his tag team partner. Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 175 lbs, he is "The Clown Prince of Pro-Wrestling”, he is… Travis Blake!!!

Mike Godwinn – This young man looks to be in top shape for this match tonight. He clocks in at a whopping one hundred and seventy-five pounds. By far the lightest man on the men’s roster.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – If you talk about pure cruiserweights, this kid is it. I just don’t know how he’s going to fair against some of the giants in the Empire. This should be a good measuring stick tonight against the Koloff boys as they both clock in north of two-hundred pounds apiece.

[ The Russian National anthem plays as the sold out crowd boos and the two large Russian’s march down to the ring proudly waving their Russian flags. ]
Mike Godwinn – Their record may not show it, but these two Russians are tough S.O.B.’s. They are straight up brawlers and they aren’t going to bring anything too flashy to the dance. Their job is to beat the holy hell out of you and they do it well.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I like these guys. They remind me of the fifties and sixties when it was all about grounding your opponent and manipulating the joints until they snapped. They just look mean.

Holidead – Let me tell you something. Thunder Rosa never had and never will have the guts to do what I did at Eve of Destruction!!! I did what was necessary to bring home the gold back Mexico!!! Now she wants to run around and play the role of hero. The nightingale of the Empire!!! Thunder Rosa, you are going to wish you never met me!!! You and I will meet in the ring, and when we do, I am going to end your career!!!
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Thank you Holidead… I think. Turning to you now Tito Escobar, you are coming off a very questionable victory over Boris Drago where your next girlfriend Holidead attacked Drago hitting him with a title belt.
The United States Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – Listen to me. Whatever we did to win that match, Boris Drago not only would have done the same thing but he would have done it worse so don’t stand there and chastise me for what I had to do to win.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – But don’t you feel even the slightest remorse for cheating?
The United States Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – You only cheat, if you get caught!!!
[ Tito’s big smile turns sour as the CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon walks into the interview. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Shane?

The United States Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – What do you want?
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – What do I want? Now that’s a great question. I want world peace. I want the WWCF to come back and be strong again. I want everyone to get along!!! Hell, I want this virus that’s plaguing the world to kiss my white ass and go away. But you know what I really want Tito?
The United States Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – What?
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – What I want, what I really… really want is for you to get what’s coming to you.
[ Tito and his Cartel all laugh at Shane. ]
The United States Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – You are one crazy ass gringo!!!
[ Shane smiles back at him. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Yes, I am… and a very powerful one at that. So powerful, that I’m going to book you in a match next week right here on Afterburn in the main event. It’s going to be an Eve of Destruction rematch. You versus Boris Drago for the United States Heavyweight title, inside a steel cage!!! See you next week.
[ Shane storms off the set as the Cartel stands there all pissed off. The show goes back to Pezzer and Mike Godwinn at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – Shane McMahon has found a way to get under the Cartel’s skin on the very first night we are on the air!!! I’m not sure if that’s a good thing, or a bad thing.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I’m not going to say either way, but what I am going to say is that the Cartel won’t forget what he did to them anytime soon.
Mike Godwinn – It’s time now for more diva’s action as Amber O’Neal is still in-search of that big first win as she takes on Solo Darling who’s been on a little winning streak of her won winning the last two of her matches. Let’s rejoin JoJo in the ring.

[ Solo Darling cannot believe that she just lost to Amber!!! Reverend Azazel tosses his demonic walking cane into the ring and Solo grabs it and hits Amber in the head from behind driving her to the mat!!! ]

Mike Godwinn – This could have been much worse for Amber, but thanks to the quick save by Su Yim she was saved from suffering any further injuries.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – That little fireball Solo went bat shit crazy on Amber after she lost a match that she really felt she should have won but she may have bitten off more than she can chew with Su Yim!!!
Mike Godwinn – Folks, let’s go to the back as our very own Courtney Cox is standing by with Arik Cannon!!!
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Courtney Cox standing by with Arik Cannon. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Arik, thank you for taking the time tonight for this interview.
“The Irish Ass-kicker” Arik Cannon – My pleasure.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Ever since losing your World title shot against Alexander Stone back at the Undisputed pay per view, you have gone on somewhat of a losing streak dropping matches to the likes of Prophet and Funny Bones. Now tonight, you have to face another tough opponent in Kahagas who has the same record as you do. The both of you are jockeying for position for a shot at Tito Escobar’s United States Heavyweight title. How have you prepared for this match tonight?
“The Irish Ass-kicker” Arik Cannon – Let’s talk about Prophet for a moment, shall we? I took the champ to the limit!!! I gave him a beating that I’m sure he’s not going to forget for a long time and don’t think for a second lassie that just because I’ve dropped in the rankings a bit that I’ve taken my sights off of the World title. And Kahagas, he’s one tough guy; but I’m a tough guy too and tonight he’s going to know what it feels like to be in the ring with… the Irish Ass-kicker!!!
[ Arik Cannon storms off the set as the show swings back to Pezzer and Mike Godwinn at the broadcast table. ]
Mike Godwinn – “The Irish Ass-kicker” Arik Cannon seems bound and determined to end this losing streak that he’s been stuck in as of late. In order to get back into title contention, he’s going to have to go through the man they call “The Tokyo Monster” Kahagas who also needs this win tonight as bad as Arik does. The last time we saw both men compete it was back on April the 12th where they both suffered their most current losses.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Mikey, both of these guys have tasted what it feels like to fight for gold in this company and they are dying to get back into contention again. This should be a hell of a match in my opinion because both of these guys will stop at nothing to get to where they want to be.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for tonight’s main event!!! It’s Kahagas versus Arik Cannon!!! Let’s rejoin JoJo Rodriguez back in the ring one last time!!!
Kahagas vs Arik Cannon
“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 205 lbs.; he is… “The Tokyo Monster” Kahagas!!!
[ The crowd boos as the lights in the arena begin to flash and “Three Nill” by Slipknot erupts. Kahagas walks out, face painted in red as “The Tokyo Monster” makes his way down to the ring!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – Kahagas looks to be in great shape tonight and as we said earlier, we have not seen Kahagas since April 12th when he lost to the now World Heavyweight Champion Prophet in a Number One Contenders match where Prophet hit the End of Days on the ring steps and scored the win by countout.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – You know, I get it; anything goes and Prophet took advantage of the situation by hitting the End of Days on the ring steps… but come on man. If Prophet wants to be considered the true champion, beat the guy in the ring!!!
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And his opponent!!! Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 210 lbs., he is… “The Irish Ass-kicker” Arik Cannon!!
[ Love him or hate him, the crowd does love his entrance music as “I’m shipping up to Boston” by Dropkick Murphy’s rings across the stadium as the red headed Irish fighter marches down to the ring pissed off with his hands all taped up. He stomps up the stairs and climbs through the ropes ripping his leather jacket off and tossing it to the ringside attendant. ]
Mike Godwinn – We heard from Cannon earlier and he sounds like a man that will stop at nothing to climb back into title contention again. You can rest assured that losses to Prophet and Funny Bones are still raw like open wounds!!!

Epilogue
[ The show goes to black as the credits starts to roll. After a few seconds, the show comes back on the air and we see “The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran walk into a bar. ]
[ Not much of a crowd can be seen as the lights are dimmed low and 80’s music can be heard from the old juke box sitting at the far end of the room. Tran scans the room until he sees the man he’s come looking for. He walks up to him and sees the man nursing a beer. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – I thought you gave that shit up?
[ The man chuckles, never turning to look at Tran. ]
Unknown man sitting at the bar – I thought you said you could handle Page.
[ Tran rolls his eyes. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – Yeah, well I was wrong. Sue me. So, what do we do now?
Unknown man sitting at the bar – What do we do now?
[ and the man gets up off his stool and turns to face Tran revealing himself to be none other than Go-D!!! ]
Go-D – Now it’s time to remind Mark what he destroyed!!!
[ And Tran and Go-D walk out of the bar to a waiting Uber. ]
