Adrenaline Results for 02-21-2022

ADRENALINE
Live Monday night February 21st, 2022 from the sold-out Hua Mak Indoor Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand 8:00pm EST

An hour before the show starts...

[ The show comes on and we glance outside the arena where the fans of the Empire are lined up with their tickets in hand ready to file into the arena. Suddenly, we hear the blare of a horn and as the fans look back and they see an out-of-control moped racing up the sidewalk swerving a little to the left, and then a little to the ring. The fans dart out of the way, hysterical mothers grabbing their small kids worried they are going to get ran over by this crazed driver and his oversized passenger on the back of this ridiculously small moped like out of a scene from Dumb and Dumber. The moped comes to a screeching stop just shy of the entry doors of the arena. The front tires are pinned as the back of the moped comes two feet off the ground. The driver poses like he is Kate Winslet from the scene from the Titanic movie as she opens her arms wide taking in the ocean breeze. The passenger on the back can be heard screaming like a little school girl as the moped hangs there for a second and then comes bouncing back down on its rear tire. The bigger man on the back quickly steps off the moped and takes his canary yellow helmet off revealing himself to be Alexander Stone. The driver, a much smaller man; secures the moped and steps off. He removes his leather gloves and helmet to reveal that it is none other than Maverick Edge. ]

World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – What the fuck dude, it’s a God Damn moped, not a F-16 fighter jet!!!

[ Maverick reaches into his pocket and takes out his sunglasses and slides them over his face trying to look ever so cool. ]

World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge – I have you know that the steering and aerodynamics of that very moped have very similar characteristics to the F-16 fighter jet.

World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Dude, this aint going to be another one of your Snoopy versus Red Baron dog fighter stories again, is it? We’re running late as it is.

World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge – Why? Does it bother you that I actually love to fly? Godzilla never minded my stories.

[ He knows that they have a huge match at the pay per view and he really does not want to go there with him right now with him. ]

World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Listen little buddy, I get it; you love to fly. That’s cool as shit. I wish I could fly, but my body aint made for a cockpit. But listen, we can do this later because we are mad fucking late right now. We need to get inside and get ready for the show, ok?

World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge – Stoner, just one story; ok? I promise you that it won’t take long. I’ll give you the abbreviated version. You see, it’s back in the Gulf War. The first one. I was flying my fighter jet when from out of nowhere those Iraqi bastards...

[ Stone waves his hands in the air at Maverick. ]

World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Dude, we don’t have time for this right now. I have a big match to get ready for against Conner. I need to get ready, stay focused and win this thing.

World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge – You got this bro-ski. I know all of Conner's secrets. Did you know that he used to wet the bed when he was ten?

[ Stone rubs his eyes. ]

World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Dude, bed wetting? What does that have to do with, I dunno; anything?

World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge – Ok, so maybe the bed wetting was a little bit of a stretch, but how about this. When he was six, he used to pick his nose. I’m not talking just a pinky finger either. I’m talking full blown index finger, knuckle deep.

World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Mav, all kids picked their noses.

[ Maverick smiles at him. ]

World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge – Yeah, but he ate it bro. I’m talking those little green ones that look like snails.

World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – You’re killing me here. Let’s just go inside and get ready. Mark is going to fucking kill us.

World Six-man Tag Team Champion “Lieutenant” Maverick Edge – Lead the way captain. I’ll share all his secrets with you. That’s what friends do. Did you know that when he was fifteen I caught him jacking off to...

[ Stone pretends not to hear Maverick as he grabs the door and swings it open as they walk side by side into the arena. ]

Now...

[ The shows opens with the Titantron showing the Empires new promo video package with all the new stars of the Empire like Alexander Stone hitting “the Stonebreaker”, the Lynch Mob hitting “The Lynching”, Su Yim locking on “The Purge”!!! The crowd explodes as we see Godzilla hitting "The Goodbye Tokyo", Chandler Hopkins turning someone inside out with "The Wrangler" and Amber Nova hitting "The Nova Driver"!!! The arena is rocking as "Warriors" by Imagine Dragons blasts across the arena in unison with the pyrotechnics that lights up the place up. The entire arena erupts in a chorus of cheers as the videotron pans around the arena and we can see dozens of fans holding up their hand made banners, “Godzilla is God”, “Tank is the G.O.A.T.” “Millie is my Queen” and “Pezzer is an Ass-hat”. The music and pyro's stop as the cameras fade down to our broadcast table as “The Mexican Sensation” Caristico and “British Royalty” Phillip Greenway are standing by. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway - Good evening, folks and welcome to another amazing night of action right here in the World Wrestling Empire!! I am Phillip Greenway and I am joined by my broadcast colleague, and Mexican Sensation… Caristico!!!

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Hello everyone and welcome to the Empire. The best damn wrestling promotion on the planet bar none!!! Phil, what a show we had last week as we kicked off the Emperor’s Crown Tournament with two exciting matches.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – That’s right. Last week we watched as Mitch Fierce defeated Chandler Hopkins to advance and that A-hole Travis Blake took out Psycho Messiah to advance to the second round. We were also treated to an incredible Extreme Rules TV title match where Prophet challenged Conner Edge for the title and the ending was unbelievable as both men were knocked unconscious ending the match in a no-contest.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – These two guys beat the ever-loving hell out of each other. I cannot wait to see a rematch if there ever is one. On-top of that, I have no idea how Conner is going to regroup after a match like that to face Alexander Stone tonight.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Let’s dig right in to what we do know from last week. Travis Blake assaulted the owner of the Empire after going on a tirade about the members of the Bullet Club turning their backs on him at Blackout. First, he had Amber fire the Mean Girls and then he went on to attack the Guerillas with two men that have yet to be named.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I’m going out on a limb here and I’m going to say that Travis is losing his shit. Blowing up the Bullet Club is not going to win you championships. All it’s going to do is paint a bigger target on your back than you already have. Let sleeping dogs lie son.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – In other news, we all saw the return of Tito Escobar where he helped out the Luther Clan and announced that he will be facing his step-brother Felix at Last Rites with Felix’s roster spot on the line!!!

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a colossal match between two brothers. If you go all the way back to All Hallows Evil in October you will remember that it was Felix that screwed over Tito and ended up getting him fired. At Last Rites, it’s Tito’s turn for payback.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Last Rites is shaping up to be a monumental pay per view. Not only are we going to see the finals of the Emperor’s Crown Tournament, we are also going to see Godzilla put his World Cruiserweight title on the line against Maverick Edge in what should be a great rematch.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – After what happened at Blackout, Godzilla has done some soul searching and Maverick laid everything on the line. If Godzilla wants to make things right, he needs to do two things. Accept Mavericks challenge, and pretty much lay down for Steve Scott tonight. I just can’t see Godzilla doing that. The kids a fighter. He will never just stand there and let someone beat on him.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Mavericks words were “No offense”. Can you win a match on just defense alone? This is going to be interesting.

[ “The Beautiful People” by Marilyn Manson rocks the arena as Psycho Messiah, Luther, Osiris and Seth Lincoln walk out from the back to the pop of the sold-out crowd. The stand atop the stage as pyro explodes all around them. As it dies down, Messiah motions for them all to follow him and he leads the group down the ramp. ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – These four men make up the group known as the Anarchy Suicide Squad. They are four of the toughest men on the Empire roster. If there ever was a time Psycho Messiah needed back-up, it’s now; and he’s got plenty of it in these three men.

[ Messiah asks for a mic and Harvey hands him his. They all climb into the ring as the fans cheer them on. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Psycho Messiah came into the Empire never asking to be liked. He just wanted a fair shot at winning belts and since he walked in, he’s had a huge target on his back. That all changed at Blackout. He’s going from the hunted to the hunter now.

[ Messiah lets the crowd die down and then he raises the mic. ]

Psycho Messiah – It’s great to be liked, but for the past eight months or so; it’s been nothing but a bad dream being here in the Empire. Every single night I had to walk those halls, come out to this very ring; night in and night out looking over my shoulder waiting for the next knife to be stuck in my back!!! Then, like a prayer sent down from the Gods; Shane got his ass fired. Now, I know how hard it is out there right now to find a job; but it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. Let’s face it. He was the brainchild behind months of torture that I had to endure. So, Shane, whatever jail cell you’re rotting in right now; I hope you sit there for a long, long time and think about what you put me through.

[ The crowd cheers him. ]

Psycho Messiah – Thank you. You know, it’s great to finally come out here and get some mic time and tell everyone what I’m feeling. What I’m thinking. Travis Blake, let’s start off with you. Yeah, it was a pretty convincing beat down last week. You won. Props to you. Not my night. And I also want to thank you for walking away like you did when the Forgotten surrounded me. It opened my eyes to who my true friends are. These guys are my true friends.

[ He puts an arm around Luther. ]

Psycho Messiah – Forgotten, you boys came looking for a fight? Well, you don’t have to look far because Anarchy Suicide Squad aint going nowhere!!!

[ The crowd explodes to their feet as “The Nobodies” by Marilyn Manson begins to play and Reverend Azazel slowly creeps out on stage followed by Steve Scott, Marc Fulton, Jake Owens and Aric Cannon. Azazel lets the boos die down and then brings the mic up. ]

Reverend Azazel – Messiah, what a terribly tragic story. But let’s not forget that before you brought these mongrels into the Empire, you were offered a spot beside us; in the Forgotten. So, let’s not play the part of the victim when we all know you’re as much the creator of your own tragic story. You played upon your own bad luck as much as Shane targeted you.

Psycho Messiah – Is there a point in all this? Because if you boys come to fight, we’ll gladly beat all your asses.

Reverend Azazel – A fight? Tonight? No, no, no, no; not tonight. I’m not willing to give these simpletons here in Thailand the pleasure of watching the Forgotten destroy you and your pathetic little friends once and for all. No, we are going to save that for Last Rites. The pay per view that is so wonderfully named don’t you think?

Psycho Messiah – You think too much.

Reverend Azazel – Yes, some may say that; but here’s what I propose. At Last Rites it will be the four of you versus the four of us in a War Games match.

[ The crowd goes wild as Messiah talks it over with his team before answering. ]

Psycho Messiah – Yeah, we’re cool with that; but what about Little Stevie up there. Aren’t you selling him short by possibly double booking him at the show?

[ Steve Scott grabs the mic and screams down at Messiah. ]

“Bloodlust” Steve Scott – Don’t you worry about me!!! I’ll wrestle twice, three, four times if I have to!!! That World Heavyweight title shot is mine!!!

Psycho Messiah – Dude, how does it feel to be given a free pass past Godzilla knowing that you just dodged a bullet only to be looking down the barrel of possibly Mitch Fierce?

“Bloodlust” Steve Scott – Screw Godzilla, screw Mitch Fierce and screw you too. Just bring it Messiah. Bring it into that steel cage and the Forgotten will show you all why we are the baddest fuckers in the Empire.

[ Messiah laughs at Steve Scott. ]

Psycho Messiah – I think someone needs to try decaf. Wound a little too tight I’d say.

[ Azazel takes the mic back from Scott and tells him to calm down. ]

Reverend Azazel – Don’t worry about Steve. He’ll be fine at the pay per view. So, is that a yes then? You’ll face us in the War Games match?

[ Messiah smiles. ]

Psycho Messiah – You boys want a war, you got yourselves a war. See you in the chamber!!!

[ The cameras cut to the backstage area where we see Bloody Mary getting ready for her tag team match. She looks up and sees Jessicka Havok walk in. ]

Bloody Mary – Hey, where you been? I’ve been trying to call you all day. You weren’t in your room this morning either.

[ Havok drops her bag on the bench. ]

Jessicka Havok – I went for an early workout. Just needed some time alone. You know, clear my head and shit.

Bloody Mary – It’s cool. I get it. You ready for tonight?

[ Havok doesn’t make eye contact. ]

Jessicka Havok – Yeah, I’m ready. You?

Bloody Mary – You know it. Tonight, we beat the Heartbreakers and get back what was taken from us. I want those titles back.

[ Havok flashes back to those two heartbreaking losses to Blue Nation and how it felt. ]

Jessicka Havok – Yeah, let’s get’em back.

[ The show cuts back to the announcers desk where we see Phillip and Caristico standing by. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Another huge match just signed for Last Rites!!! It’s going to be a War Games match that pits Psycho Messiah and his Anarchy Suicide Squad taking on Reverend Azazel’s Forgotten. What a war this is going to be folks as the pay per view is shaping up nicely. Hey, what’s this?

[ The crowd boos their asses off as “Creepy” plays over the crowd noise and the Women’s World Champion Amber Nova struts out on stage. She pays no mind to any of the fans as she struts down to the ring and climbs in mounting the turnbuckle and raises her Women’s World title high over-head. ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – It looks like the Women’s World Champion Amber Nova has something on her mind.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – You think it could have something to do with what happened at Climax or maybe what happened right here last week when Amber tried to take Shanna out, but her Nova Driver had little to no effect on the powerhouse. Let’s listen in.

[ Amber asks for a mic and Harvey hands her his. She smiles as she waits for the fans to calm down. ]

The Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – So this is the way it’s going to be? I not only beat the supposed “Queen of the Ring”, but I also beat “The Queen Slaya’” on the same night, in the same damn match and you think that would earn me some respect around here? I’m a three-time Women’s World Champion. The 2021 Women’s Wrestler of the Year. I’m...

The Women’s National Champion “The Beast” Shanna Furguson – What you are Amber, is dodging me!!!

[ Amber is cut off as the Women’s National Champion Shanna Furguson walks out from the back to the roar of the sold-out crowd. Amber smiles as she watches Shanna walk down to the ring. ]

The Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Here we go again with another upstart looking for five minutes of fame. What do you want Shanna? Tired of playing in the minor leagues?

[ Shanna climbs into the ring and gets right in Ambers face. ]

The Women’s National Champion “The Beast” Shanna Furguson – Minor leagues? Are you for real? I defended my title in a Triple Threat match at Climax too.

[ Amber smiles as she looks at Shanna’s National title and points at it... ]

The Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Minor... league.

[ And she laughs as she turns her back on Shanna showing no fear. Shanna is pissed as she grabs Amber by the arm and spins her around getting right in her face. ]

The Women’s National Champion “The Beast” Shanna Furguson – What I want Amber, is what every woman in that locker room wants every time they hear you open your mouth and that’s an opportunity to shut you up!!!

The Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Sweetie, you don’t want no part of this.

[ Shanna glares at Amber. ]

The Women’s National Champion “The Beast” Shanna Furguson – You’re afraid!!!

[ And Shanna smiles at her. ]

The Women’s National Champion “The Beast” Shanna Furguson – I can see it in your eyes. You’re afraid!!!

[ Amber looks pissed as she brushes her long hair away from her face. ]

The Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Afraid? Of you? That’s a joke. Listen sweetie, you want to play in the big leagues; fine by me. My dance card for Last rites is wide open. Why don’t you bring that little belt of yours and I’ll bring my big girl belt and we will see who the best in this company is?

[ Shanna smiles as she nods her head in agreement. ]

The Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Fine. I’ll see you at last Rites.

[ Amber turns to walk away, but she stops and explodes at Shanna trying to take her out with a well-timed belt shot; but Shanna ducks under it and drives a knee to Amber’s gut!!! Amber drops her title belt as she’s doubled over. The crowd goes wild as Shanna wastes no time as she nails Amber with the Beast Slayer (a sit down powerbomb)!!! The crowd is going nuts as Amber spasms on the mat as Shanna grabs the Women’s World title and the Women’s National title and stands over Amber raising both belts high in the air!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Did you just see that? Shanna just took out Amber Nova with the Beast Slayer!!! What if she hits that at the pay per view? Could we be seeing the end of Amber title reign? Folks, as we clear the ring and get ready for our first match of the night, let’s head to the back and listen in as our very own Maxwell Shaw is standing by with the Heartbreakers.

[ The show cuts to the back where Maxwell Shaw is standing by with Indi Hartwell, Shotzi Blackheart and Nattie Neidhart of the Heartbreakers. ]

Maxwell Shaw - Ladies, tough loss at Climax where Blue Nation retained their Women’s Tag Team titles against you.

[ Nattie puts her hand up and grins. ]

Nattie Neidhart – It’s ok Max. We are over that. Congratulations to both of them for a hard-fought match. Admittingly, it wasn’t our night. But, just for future reference; we are still the number one contender to those titles, so they are not getting off that easy.

Maxwell Shaw – The tag team division has shrunk a little with the firing of Jessie and Lia. What are your thoughts on the division as a whole?

Nattie Neidhart – Max, it doesn’t matter who we wrestle or when we wrestle, the bottom line is that those tag team titles will be coming back to us.

Maxwell Shaw – Coming up very shortly, you have a big match against Bloody Mary and Havok, who also lost their cage match at Climax; and are also in dire need of a win tonight if they want to get back into the title hunt. How are you going to approach these pretty powerful ladies?

Nattie Neidhart – Let’s be real here. That cage match against S.E.X. was a joke. Mary and Havok dominated those two sluts and if it wasn’t for Joey Ryan, they would have gotten their asses handed to them. Anytime, anyplace S.E.X. wants a shot at us, they can bring it. We are the elite in women’s wrestling and after tonight we will be walking into Last Rites against Blue Nation. Come on girls, let’s go.

[ Nattie, Indi and Shotzi walk off as the cameras cut across the arena where we see Cindy Meyers standing by with Kiera Hogan. ]

Cindy Meyers – Kiera, Climax just wasn’t your night as…

[ Kiera throws her hand up in Cindy’s face and looks at her like she’s stupid. ]

“The Queen Slaya’” Kiera Hogan – Tell me you’re not about to blame that loss at Climax on me. Tell me that what you were going to say was that I only lost that match was because of that big nosed bitch Millie McKenzie was even in the match. Tell me you were about to say that “The Queen Slaya’” is the uncrowned Women’s World Champion and if it wasn’t for Millie McKenzie that title would be around my waist right now and NOT still around Ambers.

Cindy Meyers – Well, no, I…

[ Millie McKenzie walks onto the set smiling. ]

“The 2021 Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – I thought I could hear a baby crying over here. Guess I was right.

“The Queen Slaya’” Kiera Hogan – What are you so chipper for? I don’t see that title around your waist either.

“The 2021 Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – You’re right. It’s not around my waist. But nothing pleases me more than not seeing it around yours.

“The Queen Slaya’” Kiera Hogan – Bitch, you better step back before I plant you on your ass.

“The 2021 Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – You better bring a ladder shorty.

“The Queen Slaya’” Kiera Hogan – Now I’m going to fuck you up.

[ Kiera gets ready to swing at Millie when the Women’s General Manager Gail Kim walks onto the set. ]

The Women’s General Manager Gail Kim – That’s enough, both of you. I already have Amber and Shanna taking each other out. I don’t need the same shit from the two of you.

“The Queen Slaya’” Kiera Hogan – Well if you don’t want a repeat performance, you better tell your “Queen” here to shut her big fat mouth before I punch her in it.

[ Millie smiles. ]

“The 2021 Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie – Kiera, we have already done this more than once and every time it ends the same way; with me getting my hand raised. Don’t you think you should be more focused on Su Yim tonight?

“The Queen Slaya’” Kiera Hogan – Phft, Su Yim aint nothing but mid-card trash. When’s the last time Su Yim did anything memorable in the Empire? Oh wait, it was that one time she broke her friggen neck in that Buried Alive match. She should have stayed down. Instead, she went on some sort of idiotic spiritual journey to find herself. News flash, you’re still just as lost as you were when you were that stupid zombie gimmick.

[ Kiera eyes Millie up and down in disgust. ]

“The Queen Slaya’” Kiera Hogan – I’m done with you.

[ And she storms off in a huff as the show swings back to Phillip and Caristico at the broadcast table. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It’s hard to believe that these two women were ever friends. It just goes to show you to what lengths people will go to become champions here in the Empire.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I really think that she’s selling Su Yim a little short. Su Yim is a very good wrestler and she’s sure as hell is going to bring the fight right at Kiera. And don’t even get me started on that feud she had with Solo darling where she even almost broke her neck in that Buried Alive match.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks as we get ready for our opening match, let’s go back to the Three Best Friends dressing room and listen in to what’s going on.

[ The scene goes backstage were we see "Pure Gold" Alexander Stone, Maverick, Godzilla, Aoife and Mitch Fierce all standing around talking. Stone, Maverick and Godzilla are standing back a bit keeping some distance between them and Aoife and Fierce as Fierce is talking. ]

Mitch Fierce - Christ sakes guys. I’m not going to go into a tirade and hurt somebody. We are all cool here. You're allowed to be friends with Aoife. I’m a hothead at times I admit that but we are all cool here. The Three Best Friends the World Six Man Tag Team Champions! I’m in a good mood. I won my first-round match in the Emperors Crown Tournament although Chandler Hopkins wasn’t much of a threat which brings me to your matches tonight Stone and Godzilla. As you can see, I’m not competing tonight and neither is Aoife because we are in street clothes.

[ Mitch walks up to "Pure Gold" Alexander Stone looking him dead in the eyes. ]

Mitch Fierce – Don’t fuck up tonight Stone.

"Pure Gold" Alexander Stone - Where is that coming from Mitch? I've got this. Conner isn’t going to be 100% after that Extreme Rules match last week.

[ Mitch smirks. ]

Mitch Fierce – I’m just messing with you Alex. We're cool. Kick his ass win tonight. You’re the Gold Standard. You got this. Hey, who knows it could be me and you facing each other the next go around in this tournament? Then we can truly see who the best. If we do face each other Stone rest assured it’s going to be one hell of a match the people will be wanting to see. It don’t really matter to me though who I face next you or whoever I’m in this to win and won’t back down. If we do face each other next go around its business nothing personal after the match win or lose I’m still cool with you.

[ Mitch then moves on to Godzilla. ]

Mitch Fierce - Godzilla Sanchez. Good to see you’re back to your old self and you and Maverick are buddies again. Heck of a predicament you’re in tonight. Can’t use any offense against Steve Scott. I’m sure though you might find a way to win good luck.

Godzilla Sanchez - Yeah, thanks.

[ Mitch walks back over to Aoife and puts his arm around her and gives her a kiss. ]

Mitch Fierce - You got this, guys. Tonight, you leave no doubt. Now, if you'll excuse me; I’m going out to the ring.

[ Mitch walks away with Aoife by his side as Stone, Maverick and Godzilla look at each other as the scene cuts to the announce table. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Ladies and gentlemen, as advertised; here comes Mitch Fierce!!!

[ “Ladies and Gentlemen” plays over the pa system as the fans boo loudly as Mitch Fierce comes out from backstage in his street clothes. Mitch smirks taking in the boos from the fans as he raises up his arms like he’s enjoying being hated by the fans. Mitch makes his way down to the ring climbing the steel steps getting in the ring. Mitch’s music continues playing as he looks around the arena smirking before asking for a mic getting one from Harvey. The fans continue to boo loudly as Fierce raises the mic. ]

Mitch Fierce - Cut the music. Chandler Hopkins you lost to me again. You didn’t even deserve to be in this tournament and wouldn’t had been if Massive Mike and Go-D had been. Did you really think that you had a chance? The same result happened that happened two months ago. You got Fierce Bombed and it was over. I told you that your run in this tournament would be over before it even began.

[ Mitch walks over to the turnbuckle hearing some fans boo as he then walks back to the center of the ring. ]

Mitch Fierce – Who’s next? Who’s the next opponent to get beaten by the Fierce One? I know what you all are thinking that I’m being one over confident guy or whatever worse thoughts you might have of me which I don’t really give a damn what you think but facts are facts. Nobody has found a way to stop me. I’m six and oh. It’s not bragging when it’s true. Don’t get me wrong, still got some damn good wrestlers in this tournament like Alexander Stone. Stone, I hope that it’s you I face next. You wanted to face and beat the best in this tournament leaving no doubt. I told you backstage that whether I win or lose I’m still cool with you. We both want to win and it would be a fight to see who is the best and who wants it more. I got respect for you Stone you’re a hell of a wrestler. We will wait and see what happens next depending on where you’re ranked after tonight. Conner, Steve Scott if it happens to be one of you next that I face look at what I did to Hopkins. That’s nothing compared to what I will do to either of you to advance and get my shot at Tank and the World Heavyweight Championship!

[ Mitch pauses a minute then speaks again. ]

Mitch Fierce - Enough about me. Tonight, there is someone else that I want to brag on a bit. She’s my girlfriend and she pulled off the surprise upset of the week last week by beating Holidead. Ladies and gentlemen, the woman in my life, the woman I love; the Irish spit fire... Aoife Valkyrie!

[ “Final Sacrifice” plays over the pa system as Aoife comes out the fans exploding in cheers even chants of Aoife! Aoife! Aoife! can be heard as she makes her way down to the ring Mitch holding the ropes open as she gets in the ring the fans still cheering as she’s a fan favorite. The cheering finally dies down as Mitch speaks. ]

Mitch Fierce - Last week Aoife defeated Holidead. She showed no fear pulled a trick out of her sleeve and pinned Holidead to win stunning everybody. I had no doubt she would win. She has the heart of a lion and a champion. Aoife is a champion and she will I believe be the Women’s World Champion. The year of the Valkyrie is here to all you ladies in the back. Aoife has made her intentions known of winning gold. The year 2022 I believe we all will see a championship around my girl’s waist.

[ Mitch looks at Aoife then drops the mic picking her up giving her a hug whispering something in her ear then picks the mic back up. ]

Mitch Fierce - Aoife, you showed me and everyone last week what you’re made of. No stopping you. You got it. You got the “IT” factor and it’s going to put gold around your waist The power couple of the Empire both with gold. A changed woman, a different attitude; even meaner out, of your shell with a kick ass attitude. I like it and that’s going to get you what you want.

[ Mitch offers Aoife the mic who takes it. ]

Aoife Valkyrie - My intentions have been made clear. The year of the Valkyrie is here. The year for me to win gold. I’m in the Empress of Tomorrow Tournament and I intend to keep winning to get my shot at the Women’s World Title. It is the year of Aoife Valkyrie!!!

[ Aoife raises her arm in the air as the fans explode in cheers as Mitch stands back Aoife having her moment her moment she deserves. The cheers die down as Mitch takes the mic again. ]

Mitch Fierce - Aoife you have come a long way. Keep going. It’s all for you to win and you will be Women’s World Champion!

[ Mitch drops the mic and takes Aoife’s hand and raises it as the fans cheer loudly as Mitch and Aoife exit the ring hand in hand going up the ramp. When they get to the top they turn around and Mitch once again raises Aoife’s arm as the fans cheer. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, it’s time to kick off tonight’s show with a huge tag team match right out of the women’s division. Both the Heartbreakers and the duo of Bloody Mary and Havok are desperate to get a win tonight as the winner moves on to Adrenaline next week to face S.E.X. for a shot at Blue Nation and their World Tag Team titles at Last Rites. Harvey, it’s all yours; buddy.

Bloody Mary and Havok vs The Heartbreakers

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following tag team match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making their way to the ring, Indi Hartwell, Shotzi Blackheart and Nattie Neidhart, they are… the Heartbreakers!!!

[ The crowd goes crazy as “New Foundation” by explodes across the arena as Indi, Shotzi and Nattie strut out on stage. They high five each other and walk down the rampway each climbing into the ring. Nattie and Indy each pose on a turnbuckle while Shotzi straddles the ropes between them. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The Heartbreakers come into this match tonight after losing their titles to Blue Nation back at Leap of Faith and then their rematch at Climax. It’s been a tough year so far for the Heartbreakers as they are now one and two on the year.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – It is a tough start for the former tag team champions, but they could very well right the ship tonight with a win over Bloody Mary and Havok. But that’s not going to be an easy task because they too are desperate for a win this year.

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And their opponents! Making their way to the ring, weighing in at a combined weight of 414 lbs., this is... Bloody Mary and Havok!!!

[ The crowd goes crazy cheering as "Let's Go All the Way" by Insane Clown Posse rocks the arena as Bloody Mary and Havok make their way down to the ring and climb in each taking a corner and pumping up the fans. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – As you talked about, Bloody Mary and Havok have also head a tough start to the year as they come into tonight’s match winless in 2022.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Overall, this team has not gelled very well at all. On paper, this team should be World Champions, but they only held the World Tag Team titles for a month before losing them back to Blue Nation at Leap of Faith.

[ The bell sounds and Indi charges right at Bloody Mary with a jumping knee strike that rocks Bloody Mary backwards. Indi then spins her heels around kicking Bloody Mary and then jumps up with a European style uppercut into Bloody Mary. Indi hits the ropes again and comes back with a big forearm and then a big right hand followed by a dropkick!!! Bloody Mary is wobbling as Indi goes for another dropkick, but Bloody Mary catches her and slams her down! Bloody Mary locks Indi in a camel clutch, that the referee is forced to break due to repeated fishhooks in Bloody Mary’s mouth!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Indi is relentless tonight as she is going right at the former Women’s Champion.

[ Bloody Mary swings back and rocks Indi with a nasty back elbow that stuns her. Bloody Mary goes for a clothesline, but Indi ducks it and Bloody Mary runs right into Shotzi who blasts Bloody Mary from the outside with a stiff forearm shot!!! Indi grabs Bloody Mary and hits her with a vicious DDT! Indi shakes loose a few of the cobwebs in her head and reaches out to tag in Shotzi. Shotzi takes advantage of Bloody Mary and hits a standing moonsault and then she covers her for the ...1 ...2 ...and Bloody Mary shoots her shoulder off the mat!!! ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The Heartbreakers are doing a nice job early on isolating Bloody Mary from making a tag to Havok, keeping the smaller of the two women in the match.

[ Bloody Mary sits up, but Shotzi rams an elbow into her shoulder blade and then a shoulder pinch. Bloody Mary starts to fight to her feet, but Shotzi headbutts her in the back. Shotzi gives her a few body blows, but Bloody Mary seems to absorb them. Bloody Mary quickly blocks one of Shotzi’s shots as Havok cheers her on begging for a tag. Bloody Mary presses her assault with a series of kicks that sends Shotzi into the corner. Bloody Mary charges in and nails her with a splash into the turnbuckles. Bloody Mary hits three straight corner splashes that sends Shotzi to the canvas with a flop. Bloody Mary pulls Shotzi up, and throws her back into the corner; but Bloody Mary throws her into the wrong corner and Indi tags herself in and runs right into a big boot from Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary tortures Indi’s spine with a backbreaker and she drops down going for the pin ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Shotzi dives in to break it up!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This is incredible. After everything Bloody Mary has taken in this match, she still had the strength to nearly pin Indi. She’s got the heart of a champion!!!

[ Havok is pulling her hair out as she in the corner begging for a tag, but Bloody Mary and Shotzi are trading shots back and forth. Havok is desperate to get into the match and yells at Bloody Mary to tag her in and finally Bloody Mary does just that, and just as Bloody Mary turns her back to step through the ropes; Havok grabs Bloody Mary and nails her with the Demon Drop (an over the shoulder belly to back piledriver)!!! ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What the hell did we just witness Phillip?! Havok just turned on her own partner!!!

[ Havok then tags herself back out and leaves Bloody Mary high and dry in the ring in a heap!!! Havok walks up the ramp never looking back as the boos from the crowd reign down on her. Back in the ring, Indi lifts Bloody Mary up and slams her back down to the mat. Indi tags out to Shotzi, who comes in and nails Bloody Mary with a shotgun leg drop right across Bloody Mary’s throat. Shotzi lifts Bloody Mary up and drives her into the turnbuckles and goes for a spinning backfist, but Bloody Mary ducks under it and hits a swinging neckbreaker on Shotzi!!! Bloody Mary rolls Shotzi up as the referee counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Shotzi manages to kick out!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I don’t think that it has registered in Bloody Mary’s head yet that Havok stuck it to her and walked out on her.

[ Shotzi staggers back up to her feet, as Bloody Mary attempts a lariat, but Shotzi ducks under it and rakes Bloody Mary’s eyes, before coming off the ropes with a Slingblade!!! Shotzi could probably end this here, but she tosses Bloody Mary into the corner and tags Indi back in. Indi measures Bloody Mary up and hits the Springboard Rocket Kick!!! Indi rolls Bloody Mary up for the win ...1 ...2 ...3!!! ]

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pin-fall, Indi Hartwell and Shotzi Blackheart... the Heartbreakers!!!

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This was a win that the Heartbreakers desperately needed, but the bigger story is why Havok walked out on her tag team partner. As we talked about earlier, things have not been going their way and is this the end to their partnership?

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I would have to think so. Once Bloody Mary has a chance to watch the footage of this match, she’s going to realize that it was her own tag team partner that stuck the knife in her back. This is not going to play out good for either of them.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – As we try and sort this mess out, let’s head to the back where while this match was going on; Cindy Meyers met with Su Yim before her upcoming match.

[ The show swings to the back where we see Su Yim warming up for her big match tonight against Kiera Hogan. Cindy Meyers pops her head into the dressing room and walks over to her. ]

Cindy Meyers – Su, earlier tonight I had the opportunity to talk to Kiera Hogan…

[ Su Yim smiles at Cindy. ]

“The Warrior Princess” Su Yim – And how did that go for you?

Cindy Meyers – Well, not so well.

“The Warrior Princess” Su Yim – I didn’t think so.

Cindy Meyers – Su, we all know how tough Kiera Hogan can be in the ring. She has taken Millie McKenzie to the limit on a number of occasions and even though she ended up losing those matches, every time she comes out looking better and better. Right now, she is ranked second to Amber Nova’s World title right behind Millie. This has to rank right up there as one of your toughest matches you’ve had since coming here.

“The Warrior Princess” Su Yim – It’s right up there, I admit that. But I also know that I’m ready for her. You know, while Kiera was shooting her mouth off a little while ago; I sat here and I listened to her and you know what? She’s right. I did go on a spiritual journey. And do you know what I found?

Cindy Meyers – No what?

“The Warrior Princess” Su Yim – I found that I have the strength and the willpower to beat anyone. I didn’t need that zombie gimmick to be a top star in this company. Yeah, I made a dumb choice facing Solo in that Buried Alive match, and yes, I broke my neck and it nearly cost me everything I love. But you know what Cindy? It didn’t. I was able to heal my body. Find my true self. Refocus my energy and come back even stronger. Now I may not have the greatest record and I may not be ranked as high as Kiera, but when the dust settles; she’s going to know that this “Mid-card trash” kicked her ass all over this arena. See you soon “Slaya’”!!!

[ Su Yim storms out of the dressing room as the show cuts back to the announcer’s desk. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I have to tell you that I love the fight and spirit that this young woman brings to the ring tonight. She may not win tonight, but she’s going down with the fighting spirit of a champion!!!

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I love this women’s roster right now and I would hate to be Amber Nova because it seems not one of them fear her like they did a year ago when this company reopened. They have watched her and studied her and they can see cracks forming in her armor. She may still be champion, but she looks vulnerable at times.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, let’s head back to the ring as these two women are about to get it on tonight. It’s Kiera Hogan versus Su Yim and it’s right now!!!

Kiera Hogan vs Su Yim

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit!!! Making her way to the ring weighing in at 114 lbs., this is… Kiera Hogan!!!

[ The crowd boos her over her newfound attitude as “Love, Fury, Passion, Energy” plays and Kiera Hogan walks down to the ring and climbs in, posing on the second turnbuckle ignoring all the haters. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Kiera comes into this match tonight as the number two contender to the Women’s World title still held by Amber Nova.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Kiera and Millie are battling it out for the number one spot and if Kiera can win tonight and Millie loses next week, they will be in a virtual tie for the number one seed. But we would be amiss if we didn’t talk about the current situation between Shanna and Amber. We all watched at Climax where Shanna attacked Amber and then last week where Amber thought she had Shanna out and like the friggen Undertaker, Shanna popped right back up. Could Shanna be the one to dethrone Amber for good?

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And her opponent!!! Making her way to the ring weighing in at 115 lbs., this is… “The Warrior Princess” Su Yim!!!

[ The sold-out crowd cheer her as she walks out and down the rampway to the ringside area as “Black Thunder” by the HU sends chills down everyone’s spines. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – And here is the Warrior Princess Su Yim. She comes into this match tonight with a seven and twelve record and is currently ranked third for the National title. Tonight, she looks to build on that win over Courtney Cox a few weeks ago.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Let me just say that all the pressure tonight is on Kiera Hogan. Nobody expects Su Yim to win this match and she needs to approach with a chip on her shoulder. If she can win tonight, she won’t pass Solo in the rankings, but it will narrow the gap between the two of them and put more pressure on Solo to win her match tonight against the returning Malia Hosaka.

[ The referee calls for the opening bell and Su Yim and Hogan lock up and battle for the early advantage and it’s Su Yim who takes it, quickly switching behind Hogan and grabbing a waistlock before grappling her down onto the canvas! Both women shoot back to their feet and then lock-up once more, where Su Yim again gets the advantage as she takes Hogan into a side headlock takedown, which Hogan escapes with a head scissors! Struggling to break free, Su Yim manages to worm her way out which draws both women to their feet again and a standing ovation from the crowd! ]

“The Queen Slaya’” Kiera Hogan – Hear them cheering? That aint for you sweetie. I’m the Queen Slaya. I’m the future of the women’s division.

[ Hogan lunges at Su Yim catching her off-guard and snaps Su Yim’s neck against the top turnbuckle! Hogan goes for a faceslam, but Su Yim rolls through it and goes right into a single leg crab, where she holds on to Hogan hair drawing the five count from the referee ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...and Su Yim breaks her grip on Kiera’s hair!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Su Yim is letting Kiera get in her head a bit. She needs to stay in control of her temper and not get disqualified for something stupid.

[ Hogan rolls out to the floor as Su Yim wiggles her fingers dropping colored strands of Kiera’s hair to the mat. Kiera is pissed as she reaches back inside and drags Su Yim under the bottom rope and to the floor. They both grab each other by the hair trying to rip each-others hair out as they roll back into the ring where the referee breaks it up. Hogan goes right back at Su Yim’s hair and chokes her against the bottom rope to draw another five count from the referee ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...and this time it’s Kiera Hogan who is wiggling her fingers dropping strands of Su Yim’s hair to the mat!!! ]

“The Queen Slaya’” Kiera Hogan – You like to pull hair bitch? You and your fake ass extensions!!! I’ll rip all your damn hair out of your head!!!

[ Kiera goes for a belly-to-back suplex, but Su Yim throws Hogan to the mat with a hair-mare!!! Su Yim grabs ahold of Kiera and goes for a snap suplex, but Hogan lands on her feet; runs and into the ropes and clotheslines Su Yim out to the floor, but the momentum of the clothesline sends Hogan to the floor too. Hogan is the first to her feet as she sends Su Yim back into the ring. Kiera climbs back up onto the apron and goes for a springboard dropkick but Su Yim is able to catch her and and put Hogan down with a sidewalk slam!!! Su Yim then hits the ropes and blasts Hogan with a basement clothesline!!! Su Yim rolls Kiera up as the referee dives over her for a better position ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Kiera grabs the bottom rope!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The entire arena is going nuts right now with anticipation of Su Yim picking up the biggest upset of her career!!!

[ Su Yim picks Hogan up and slams her back-first into the turnbuckles. Hogan drives a number of elbows into Su Yim’s head before Su Yim nails Hogan with a fisherman’s suplex with a bridge as she goes for the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Kiera puts her foot on the bottom rope!!! ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a match Su Yim is having tonight. If she can find a way to win tonight, she will have given Kiera her fourth straight loss and send her tumbling down the rankings. This would be catastrophic for her title chances.

[ Su Yim yanks Hogan up and into position, flipping her into the air and bringing her down with a vicious Powerbomb!! Su Yim makes the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Kiera shoots her shoulder off the mat saving herself!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Another near fall by Su Yim and you can just feel the energy in this arena feeding into her, energizing her. Kiera Hogan is clueless as to how to slow Su Yim down right now!!!

[ Hogan tries charging at Su Yim but Su Yim uses a drop toe hold that drives Kiera face-first into the mat, as she makes the pin ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Kiera kicks out!!! ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Kiera Hogan is loopy right now and it won’t take much more to deliver the knock-out blow. Su Yim just needs to pick the right time and this match is history. Can she do the impossible tonight?!

[ Su Yim drags Kiera up again, but Hogan backs Su Yim into the corner only for Su Yim to use the turnbuckle to leap up and over, followed up with a neckbreaker!!! Instead of going for the cover, Su Yim drags Hogan to her feet; who then thumbs Su Yim in the eyes and then nails Su Yim with a back stabber. Su Yim fights back to her feet, but Hogan launches Su Yim into the corner. Hogan charges in and she eats a boot to the stomach followed by a snap spike DDT by Su Yim. Su Yim desperately crawls over and drops an arm over Kiera’s stomach for the ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Kiera powers out as the crowd goes nuts!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The sold-out crowd cannot believe what they are witnessing tonight. Su Yim is on the verge of defeating the number two ranked Kiera Hogan!!! We have an upset in the making tonight. Anything is possible here in the World Wrestling Empire!!!

[ Su Yim nails Hogan with a Meteora!!! Hogan looks to be virtually out cold now after that the beating she’s suffered and Su Yim senses this, as she locks on the Purge (a mandible claw submission)!!! ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – This could be it!!! Su Yim’s got the Purge locked in deep and Kiera’s a mile away from the ropes!!!

[ The crowd is on their feet as Kiera struggles to reach for the ropes!!! Su Yim screams out as she shoves her fingers down Kiera’s throat deeper!!! Kiera gags and nearly throws up as she taps out!!! ]

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by submission, Su Yim!!!

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What an incredible match we just witnessed ladies and gentlemen!!! Su Yim just made Kiera Hogan tap out!!! This has to be match of the year written all over it!!!

[ Su Yim stands in the center of the ring, arm raised in victory; and openly sobs as she clings on to this moment!!! ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Hold on to this moment girl. You never know when a moment like this will ever come again!!! Congratulations Su Yim.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, last week we all watched in bewilderment as Travis Blake led an attack on his own members of the Bullet Club in the Guerillas of Destiny essentially kicking them out of the club. Tonight, those very Guerillas of Destiny do battle against Blood Hunter and Mil Muertes in a Hardcore Rules match; but first let’s go to the back and here what these two men have to say in response to that assault.

[ The videotron comes on as it shows Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa pacing like hungry wolves as Maxwell Shaw tries to get one of their attention. ]

Maxwell Shaw – Guys, guys if you could just calm down for a second...

[ Tanga Loa stops and gets right into the camera. ]

Tanga Loa – Calm down? You want us to calm down. Oh, hell no; we’re just getting fired up. You see Travis, you think it was that easy to take the Guerillas out of the Club? You and your two new bitches think you can lay us out and we wouldn’t retaliate? You best think again little man.

[ Tama Tonga pushes his way in-front of the camera. ]

Tama Tonga – You see, if it wasn’t for us; your bitch ass wouldn’t even be in this tournament. You’re nothing without us. We made you who you are right now. The entire Bullet Club wouldn’t be nothen without us.

[ Tanga steps up. ]

Tanga Loa – We walked away from the Gold Standard for you. We stabbed Alexander in the back for you. We put everything you wanted ahead of our own needs and this is the shit we get in return? Well, fuck you. Now your ass in our crosshairs mother fucker. Tonight, we put the Cartel down and then we’re coming after your ass.

Tama Tonga – Keep our watches warm ass-wipe cause we’re coming to collect.

[ The show swings back to the announcers desk where we see Phillip and Caristico sitting. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Strong words tonight by the former World Tag Team Champions the Guerillas of Destiny as they are next on tonight’s card as they take on the monster of Mexico Mil Muertes and Blood Hunter where the winner of tonight’s match will move on to Adrenaline next week to take on the Golden BoyZ for the right to face the Zealots at Last Rites.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The men’s tag team division is exploding right now with the recent additions of the Anarchy Suicide Squad and the Forgotten. Now, if these two mystery men that Travis Blake hired to take out the Guerillas last week join the division it could shake the entire landscape. We could be talking about nine tag teams in the men’s division.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, this match is not going to be for the feint of heart as the Guerillas of Destiny take on the Cartel in a Hardcore Rules match. Anything and everything is on the table tonight in this match. Let’s rejoin my good pal Harvey Weinstein already in the ring.

Hardcore Rules Tag Team match
The Guerillas of Destiny vs Blood Hunter and Mil Muertes

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following tag team match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making their way to the ring weighing in at a combined weight of 439 lbs., they are Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa; this is… the Guerillas of Destiny!!

[ The sold-out crowd goes nuts booing as “The Firing Squad” by No Name Tim rocks the arena as the two Samoan warrior’s storm down to the ring and dive under the bottom rope in unison popping to their feet and posing on the ropes. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Caristico, the Guerillas had a pretty eventful few weeks; first taking a bribe from the Mean Girls at Blackout to not help the leader of the Bullet Club in defeating Godzilla and then last week they were attacked backstage when Travis was aided by two unknown men to lay the Guerillas out.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Travis seems to be cleaning house right now within the Bullet Club and it appears that nobody is safe right now. We watched after the pay per view went off the air when he brutally assaulted Paul Heyman, for what we are not really sure. Heyman has done nothing but been a loyal adviser to the Bullet Club. He’s got little or no control of what the Mean Girls or the Guerillas did.

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring being accompanied by Felix Escobar, they weigh in at a combined weight of 531 lbs, Mil Muertes and Blood Hunter... the Cartel!!!

[ The sold-out crowd boos as “I came to Collect” by CFO$ rocks the arena and Felix Escobar escorts the two massive men on stage. Felix motions toward the ring and they storm down to the ring and climb in glaring across the ring at their opponents. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The Cartel asked for this hardcore match tonight and the staff agreed. I really believe that this match falls right in with what the Cartel wants to do right now. They want to take over the tag team division by force. The problem is, Tito Escobar is back and he’s looking to put a stop to his step-brother.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – That’s correct, Tito is back. But the issue I have is which version of Tito are we getting? Yeah, the fans love it right now. Tito is our hero and he’s going to slay the big bad Felix, but what becomes of him after this? Does he go back to being the same old arrogant son of a bitch we knew before Felix showed up? Time will tell, I guess.

[ The bell sounds and right away, Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa burst across the ring, going right at Blood Hunter and nailing the big man and knocking him through the ropes and to the floor! Mil Muertes goes to assist Blood Hunter, catching Tama Tonga with a right, then Tanga Loa, then Tama Tonga but then Tanga Loa cuts him off with a kick to the gut, as the Guerillas now fire off some shots of their own before whipping Mil Muertes off the ropes and hitting a huge double back body drop!! Mil Muertes struggles back to his feet and into the corner, where Tanga Loa comes in to deliver some more rights before whipping Mil Muertes into the turnbuckles! Mil Muertes then backs into the corner as Tama Tonga grabs Tanga Loa’s arm, trying to Irish whip his partner; but Tanga Loa reverses and sends Tama Tonga crashing into Mil Muertes with a big-time clothesline, quickly hooking him by the head and dragging Mil Muertes from the corner right into a bulldog! Tama Tonga goes for the cover ...1 ...2 ...but then Blood Hunter reaches into the ring, grabbing Tama Tonga’s boot and drags him off Mil Muertes and out to the floor!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Nice save by Blood Hunter to save his partner from an eventual pinfall. The Guerillas are going all out right now trying to isolate the smaller of the two Cartel members.

[ Blood Hunter unloads on the Tama Tonga with some rights to the side of the jaw, before grabbing his mask and leading him back over to the steel guardrail and smashing him as hard as he can into it! Tama Tonga slumps to the floor on one knee while back in the ring, Tanga Loa goes back to work on Mil Muertes! Tanga Loa proceeds to drag Mil Muertes back up again, hooking him up for a suplex, but Mil Muertes battles back with several elbows to the top of Tanga Loa’s head, and he stumbles away back towards the corner! Tanga Loa shakes off the blows before charging in after Mil Muertes only for Tanga Loa to run into a boot to the face sending him reeling backwards as Mil Muertes lifts himself onto the middle rope and then dives off with a flying shoulder block knocking Tanga Loa down!! ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – That’s a two-hundred-and-fifty-pound monster that just took to the air and wiped out Tanga Loa!!! Men that big are not meant to fly Phillip!!!

[ Back out at ringside, Blood Hunter is choking Tama Tonga with the sole of his boot, finally relenting only to drag him up and start unloading massive rights and lefts! Back in the ring, both Mil Muertes and Tanga Loa get back to their feet, where Tanga Loa tries for a kick to the gut but Mil Muertes catches his boot, swinging him around and then delivering a back suplex! Mil Muertes then calls out to Blood Hunter, who nods before lifting up the apron and digging around before re-emerging with a trash can! He tosses it into the ring and to his partner, before then digging under the ring some more and this coming out with a broom, which Blood Hunter then presses down against Tama Tonga’s throat to choke him even more! At the same time, Mil Muertes has waited for Tanga Loa to get up before swinging the trash can and smashing it against his head knocking him back down! Mil Muertes then goes over to the corner and starts wedging the trash can in-between the middle and top turnbuckles, before finally returning to Tanga Loa and pulling him up and over to the corner and nailing him with some stiff punches to wear him down! Mil Muertes then grabs Tanga Loa by the arm, hitting an Irish whip but somehow Tanga Loa manages to reverse and send Mil Muertes hurtling back-first into the waiting trash can, with Mil Muertes hitting it so hard that he now staggers forwards out from the corner right into Tanga Loa’s waiting arms, as he hits an overhead belly-to-belly suplex!! Blood Hunter’s glares back at the ring and this allows Tama Tonga the chance to snatch the broom out from Blood Hunter’s hands and bringing it up right between Blood Hunter’s legs and into the old family jewels!! Blood Hunter is in agony as he doubles over where Tama hooks him from behind with the broom, delivering a side Russian leg sweep back against the steel railing for good measure! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Both teams are putting everything on the line tonight. They know that a title opportunity may await the winner of tonight’s match.

[ After a few moments, Tama Tonga gets up and takes the steel chair with him, sliding back into the ring as Tanga Loa rolls out! Tanga Loa goes to work on Blood Hunter, stomping at him and then pulling him up and over the steel guardrail, choking him against the steel frame while at the same time, Tama Tonga opens up the steel chair inside the ring, positioning it in place! Tama Tonga then goes back to Mil Muertes and drags him upright, hammering him against the ropes and then going for an Irish whip, but Mil Muertes somehow reverses it and then hits the same drop toehold that Tama Tonga was looking for, smashing Tama Tonga face-first into the seat of the steel chair!! ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – My God that could have busted so many bones in the man’s face!!! The sound of the impact was sickening Phillip!!!

[ Tama Tonga rolls away in agony, as Mil Muertes nails his Tama Tonga with some stomps for good measure! Mil Muertes then knocks the steel chair out of the way, grabbing Tama Tonga by the arm and pulling him up and driving repeated shoulder blocks into Tama Tonga to try and wear him down before finally whipping him off into the ropes and then catching him with a big-time spinebuster on the rebound!!! Mil Muertes hooks the legs, going for the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and somehow Tama Tonga manages to kick out just in time!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Mil Muertes is picking Tama apart right now. I am amazed that he was able to kick out of that spinebuster!!!

[ Outside the ring, Tanga Loa is digging under the ring, dragging out a wooden table and he lifts it up onto the apron, looking to slide it into the squared circle before suddenly, Mil Muertes lunges towards him and hits a short dropkick that smashes the wooden table back into Tanga Loa’s face! Tanga Loa is dazed, and Blood Hunter then scoops him up onto his shoulders and walks towards the steel ring stairs and drops Tanga Loa with a Snake Eyes right onto them!! ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What a move by Blood Hunter!!! Tell me that Marc Fulton isn’t smiling somewhere in the building!!!

[ Blood Hunter now grabs the wooden table and slides it into the ring, before clambering back inside! The Cartel sets the table up and props it in the corner, leaving it there before finally turning their attention back towards Tama Tonga only for Tama Tonga to go on the offensive, ramming the steel chair into Mil Muertes’ gut, then Blood Hunter’s!!! Tama Tonga then raises the steel chair high into the air and smashes it against Mil Muertes’ back, knocking Mil Muertes down and out, before then raising the steel chair a second time, looking to do the same to Blood Hunter, until Blood Hunter suddenly cuts him off with a big knee to the gut! Tama Tonga drops the steel chair and Blood Hunter throws Tama Tonga back into the corner, driving in repeated knees to wear him down. Blood Hunter backs off, only to charge back in and crush Tama Tonga with an avalanche!! Tama Tonga stumbles forward and then Blood Hunter scoops him and drives Tama Tonga down, slamming him back-first into the steel chair!!! Blood Hunter goes for the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and again Tama Tonga finds the strength to kick out!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – That steel chair just folded up like it was made out of paper after Blood Hunter drove Tama Tonga through it like it was nothing. I have no idea where Tama is finding the strength to kick out of these moves right now.

[ Blood Hunter yells at the referee, before checking on Mil Muertes to make sure he’s alright. Blood Hunter then goes back over to Tama Tonga and sets him up and into a standing head scissors, right next to the wooden table in the corner! Blood Hunter powers Tama Tonga up into the air and yet somehow Tanga Loa slips back into the ring, grabbing at Tama Tonga’s legs to pull him back down and out of Blood Hunter’s grasp!!! The Guerillas wait for Blood Hunter to turn around, lashing out with a double kick to the gut! They then lift Blood Hunter up and take him over with a double suplex! Tanga Loa makes the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and again Felix Escobar grabs the referee by the legs and drags him out to the floor breaking the count up!!! ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – You just had to know that it wasn’t going to take long for Felix to get involved in this match. He just saved Blood Hunter from getting pinned right there and the fans hate him for it as this is very much a pro-Guerilla crowd.

[ Tanga Loa proceeds to throw rights and lefts at Mil Muertes to stop him from building any momentum, pulling him up and then threading his arms between his legs! He then flips Mil Muertes up into the air, looking for a pumphandle suplex yet somehow, Mil Muertes manages to slip free down Tanga’s back, shoving Tanga Loa as hard as he can and sending him head-first into Tama Tonga, knocking him out of the ring and to the floor! Tanga Loa turns back towards Mil Muertes, and gets scooped up as Mil Muertes parades him around the ring and then launches Tanga Loa backwards with a fallaway slam!! Mil Muertes goes for the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and again Tanga Loa kick outs!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It seems like the Guerillas take one step forward and then two steps back against the much more powerful Cartel.

[ Mil Muertes punches the canvas in frustration! Mil Muertes calls out to Blood Hunter and he drags Tanga Loa up and then holds him high into the air with an elevated bear hug, and Mil Muertes heads to the corner and lifts himself onto the middle rope! He then holds out his arms, taunting the Empire faithful before diving off with a flying bulldog, taking Tanga Loa out of his partner’s arms and driving him down onto the mat!!! Mil Muertes goes for the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and again Tama Tonga dives in and saves his partner!!! ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – That move by the Cartel was designed to end the match right then and there!!! Thanks to the quick thinking of Tama he was able to save Tanga just in time!!!

[ Blood Hunter grabs the referee and threatens to beat him to a pulp, while Mil Muertes shouts at the official at the same time! They then notice the wooden table still waiting there propped in the corner, seemingly getting the same idea as they then proceed to go over and grab Tanga Loa dragging him back up! They then push Tanga Loa up against the wooden table, where Blood Hunter once again chokes Tanga Loa with the sole of his boot, while Mil Muertes gets in several body shots at the same time! The Cartel then head back across the ring into the corner opposite, where Blood Hunter grabs Mil Muertes by the arm, looking for an Irish whip but Mil Muertes reverses and sends Blood Hunter across the ring looking to spear Tanga Loa through the wooden table only for Tama Tonga to knock Tanga Loa down to the canvas and out of the ring at the last second sending Blood Hunter smashing through the wooden table leaving him in a pile of debris!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a save by Tama to get his partner out of the way from the onrushing Blood Hunter who then missed and crashed through the table himself!!! This just might be the opening the Guerillas need to put the Cartel away!!!

[ Mil Muertes can’t believe it, staring with mouth agape before seeing Tama Tonga getting back into the ring He quickly tries to cut him off with a series of stomps to the back of the head! Mil Muertes then drags Tama Tonga up, nailing him with numerous strikes to the back of the head before pulling him into position for a chokeslam, but Tama Tonga blocks!!! Mil Muertes tries a second time but still, Tama Tonga refuses to budge! Mil Muertes clubs at Tama Tonga’s back and then goes to try a third time to lift him into the air, but then Tanga Loa slips back into the ring and hits Mil Muertes from behind with a Samoan Drop!!! ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Mil Muertes never saw that Samoan Drop coming and now he’s on the mat holding his shoulder in pain!!!

[ Tanga Loa yells for Tama to get up as they set Mil Muertes up for the Kill Shot (The Dudley Death Drop), but Felix rolls into the ring and clubs Tanga from behind. The boos reign down on Felix as he stands there smiling looking ever so smug when suddenly, his half-brother Tito Escobar dives under the bottom rope and starts unloading with nasty lefts and rights!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Tito is here!!! Tito is here!!!

[ Tito backs Felix into the ropes, takes a few steps back and charges forward clotheslining Felix over the top rope and crashing down to the floor in a heap!!! The crowd is loving it as Blood Hunter charges at Tito, only for Tito to bend over and nail Blood Hunter with a back-body drop that sends the big man crashing down on-top of Felix on the floor!!! ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – The Guerillas have the opening!!! Can they take advantage of it?!

[ Tanga Loa motions for Tama as they set Mil Muertes up and drives him back down with the Kill Shot (The Dudley Death Drop)!!! Both men pig pile on-top of Mil Muertes for the cover as the referee counts ...1 ...2 ...3!!! ]

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pinfall, the Guerillas of Destiny!!!

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a win for the Guerillas tonight as they overcame a much tougher opponent in the Cartel to inch themselves closer to a World Tag Team title opportunity!!!

[ In the ring, Tito smiles as he high fives both Tanga and Tama and raises both their hands in victory. Outside the ring, Felix looks dejected as he sits on the floor, hands on his head ready to pull his hair out!!! ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Amazing match tonight and what a finish as Tito is relentless in his pursuit to take down Felix and his new Cartel!!!

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, back at Ladies Night Out; Malia Hosaka was injured during the Women’s National title match that pit her against Lady Edge and Amber Nova. Tonight, she makes her courageous return to the ring. Let’s go to the back where she is standing by with Cindy Meyers.

[ The show cuts to the back where we see Malia Hosaka standing by with Maxwell Shaw. ]

Maxwell Shaw – Malia, a few months back you suffered a crippling injury that almost ended your career. Now at age fifty-two, you return to the Empire and find yourself right in the middle of the Empress of Tomorrow Tournament. How does it feel taking on women that are half your age and just as hungry?

“The Modern-Day Moolah” Malia Hosaka - When I was at home rehabbing my injury, I didn’t know if I would ever come back to the Empire. I didn’t know if I wanted to come back and put myself through all the hell that you have to endure to be wrestler. And yes, I am fifty-two years old and yes, my career is on the clock right now. So, I made the decision to come back and give it one last ride. I’m in the Empress of Tomorrow Tournament and it is either going to go one of two ways. I’m either going to win the whole damn thing and earn my shot at the Women’s champion, or I am going out in one hell of a blaze of glory.

Maxwell Shaw – So, this is it then? Win the tournament and you earn yourself a World title shot. Lose, and you hang up the boots for good?

“The Modern-Day Moolah” Malia Hosaka - That’s right. I’m not here to be second best and if I can’t beat this generation of women then someone else deserves my spot.

Maxwell Shaw – Well, talk about a tune up match. Tonight, you face Solo Darling in your first match coming off that injury. Are you prepared to face the same woman that nearly broke Su Yim’s neck last year?

“The Modern-Day Moolah” Malia Hosaka - Broke Su Yim’s neck? You do realize that she did that with a car right? It wasn’t like she used any technical hold on her and snapped her neck. Max, I have been preparing for this night for weeks. Until last Monday, I had no clue who I was going to be facing. It could have been Courtney, or it could have been Amber. Either way, I could care less. I prepare for every match the same way, and tonight; Solo Darling is just the first step toward a Women’s World title shot. She just doesn’t know it yet.

[ Malia walks off the set as the show cuts across the arena to where we see Solo Darling standing by with Cindy Meyers. ]

Cindy Meyers – Solo, big match coming up in just a few moments as you take on Malia...

[ Solo puts her hand up stopping Cindy. ]

“The Platinum Bombshell” Solo Darling – Wait, just I just hear grandma, right? Did she just call me a stepping stone? I’m the first step toward her Women’s World title shot?

Cindy Meyers – That’s what she said.

[ Solo is pissed as she looks dead in the camera. ]

“The Platinum Bombshell” Solo Darling – Malia, let me set you straight granny. While you were at home shitting in your adult diapers, I was still here busting my ass night after night, week after week. While you were home watching Springer, I was here competing for championships. So, before you stroll out to MY ring in your walker and start making bold ass predictions that your dusty old ass can’t back up, you best know YOUR roll in the new Empire and that’s to be MY stepping stone to a Women’s World title shot. I’m going to use your ass to springboard MY career into title contention.

[ Solo pauses as she starts to pace back and forth pissed off. ]

“The Platinum Bombshell” Solo Darling – Malia, I can’t even begin to understand why you’re even in the Empress of Tomorrow Tournament. This is supposed to be for the best women in the Empire competing for the biggest prize in the federation. What exactly have you done? What titles have you won? Wait, I know that answer. None!!! A big fat zero just like you. You wanna make an example out of me? Really? Well tonight I’m putting your wrinkly old ass back on the shelf for good.

[ Solo storms off as the show cuts back to Phillip and Caristico at the announcers desk. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a heated interview with Solo as she feels disrespected by the veteran Malia Hosaka who also had some strong words for Solo as they enter this match tonight.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I get it. Malia has been on the shelf for a while and she wants to come back and not just pick up the win tonight but she would also like to make some sort of statement too. Solo on the other hand is a young, tough woman who won’t allow herself to be Malia’s or anyone else’s stepping stone. It will be interesting to see how this match plays out because if the cards fall right, they could meet up again in the tournament.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, this has the makings of a five-star match. Let’s return to the ring as the ladies take center stage.

Malia Hosaka vs Solo Darling

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit!! Making her way to the ring weighing in at 122 lbs.; this is… Solo Darling!!!

[ The crowd cheers her 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 smiling and waving to the crowd. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Solo Darling enters this match tonight with a ten and twelve record tonight and she is ranked second in the National title rankings. She’s one and two this year, with that single win being over the Women’s World Champion Amber Nova in a non-title match.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Solo is heavily favored coming into this match tonight as she faces Malia Hosaka who is coming off an injury. Solo better be smart about this match and not get caught looking past Malia.

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And her opponent. Making her way to the ring, weighing in at 130 lbs., this is… Malia Hosaka!!!

[ The crowd boos their asses off as “Head like a hole” by Nine Inch Nails plays. Malia Hosaka walks down to the ring and climb in all alone. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Malia makes her return to the squared circle tonight after getting injured at Ladies Night Out in her Women’s National title match against Lady Edge and Amber Nova.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – That’s right. It’s been a few months now and Malia returns to the ring tonight with a seven and seven record and she is currently ranked fifth in the World title rankings. She is going to need to pace herself tonight and slowly work her way back into ring shape. She can’t rush things or she’ll get gassed early.

[ The referee calls for the bell and this match gets underway with Solo quickly going on the offensive, hammering away at Malia with some furious forearm shots, backing her into the ropes and then trying for an Irish whip but Malia puts on the brakes and then drags Solo back towards her and into a big time Samoan drop!! Malia has a wicked look on her face as she then gets back to her feet and yanks Solo up with her, shoving her back into the corner before delivering repeated shoulder tackles to the gut, wearing Solo down before finally delivering an Irish whip into the turnbuckles! Malia now charges after Solo, hitting a clothesline in the corner before dragging Solo out and scooping her across her chest before parading Solo across the ring and hitting a bridging fallaway slam into the pin ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Solo kicks out!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Solo tried to get off to a fast start, but Malia was ready for it and she’s been relentless turning the tables on Solo and taking the fight right back at her.

[ That kick-out makes Malia pissed as she drags Solo up by the hair and delivers several back elbows to the back of the head before then hitting the ropes and coming back swinging in search of a clothesline but Solo ducks the shot and then grabs Malia by the waist on the way past, pushing Malia forwards into the ropes and then trying to take her over with an O’Connor roll and into the pin attempt ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Malia powers out launching Solo off of her!!! ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Beautiful counter by Solo taking Malia over in that O’Connor roll and nearly snatching victory tonight in a match that everyone thought was hers for the taking.

[ Both ladies get back to their feet where Solo rushes forward and tries to grab Malia from behind and attempt a German suplex, but Malia blocks it and then drives some stiff back elbows to the side of Solo’s jaw, using a standing switch before hitting a German suplex launching Solo across the ring! Solo is in a daze as she struggles up on sheer instinct alone only for Malia to scoop her up and drive her back down with the Hosaka Driver (Michinoku Driver)!!! Solo has no clue where she is as Malia hooks the legs and rolls Solo up for the win ...1 ...2 ...3!!! ]

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pinfall, Malia Hosaka!!!

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a statement win by Malia Hosaka tonight. She’s back and she’s back in force as she just decimated Solo Darling. Solo’s going to look back at this match and ask herself what the hell just ran her over!!!

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – With this very convincing win tonight, Malia Hosaka will leapfrog Aoife Valkyrie in the rankings and move up to fourth in the Women’s World title rankings just percentage points behind Shanna and Kiera. What a battle at the top of the rankings.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, our next match is for the World Tag Team Champion as the Zealots defend their championship for the first time against the former champions the New Regime. Ito and Shogun demanded this match and they are not waiting till Last Rites. Let’s head to the back as Prophet and his Zealots have a few words for the New Regime before the match gets underway.

[ The show cuts to the back where we see Prophet and the World Tag Team Champions the Zealots in-front of a cameraman. Prophet looks pretty beat up after his grueling Extreme Rules match against Conner Edge the week prior where both men had to be stretchered out of the ring. ]

“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – Conner, hell of a fight young man. Hell …of… a ...fight. You didn’t let me down. You came at me with the heart of a champion and went down swinging like a mother fucker. Bravo. But you see Conner…

[ …and he places his finger against his temple and taps on it. ]

“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – …I’ve been thinking, and oh boy that can be a dangerous fucking thing right now because everyone knows I’m not exactly in the best frame of mind. When my brain spins, it goes round and round until the entire world looks like fucking Wonderland.

[ Prophet lowers his head, pauses and then looks back up at the camera. ]

“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – I would be lying if I didn’t say I was a bit disappointed. That TV title was within my grasp.

[ He puts his hands up like he’s cupping something. ]

“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – o close I could feel it. Dangling right there before my very eyes. The gold belt glistening like the north star.

[ He then looks dead eyed back into the camera. ]

“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – And then like the Titanic hitting that fucking glacier you and I crashed to the mat and succumbed to our injuries.

[ Prophet claps at the camera. ]

“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – Bravo. Bravo. The end of episode one. But this my young friend is just the start of our story. Like all good trilogies, we have just come to the meat of the story. Episode two promises to a bitch. You see my young friend; you have what the heart wants; and what the heart wants; the heart always gets. Very soon Conner, you will begin your Pilgrimage of Pain!!!

[ Prophet steps aside so that Painkiller and Insanity can step up, showing off their World Tag Team titles. ]

Painkiller – Ito, Shogun; World Tag Team title rematch. Boys, how does it feel to be the one’s chasing the titles now? How does it feel to be the guys that got screwed over?

[ Painkiller pulls off his title belt and raises it at the camera. ]

Painkiller – Take a good long look at these belt’s boys because this is the last damn time that you’re going to see them.

[ Insanity steps up. ]

Insanity – Where oh where is Go-D? Where’s the leader of Legacy? Oh, that’s right. Go-D went down in a flaming pile of horse shit when Tank beat his ass at Blackout. Now we haven’t heard a word from him in weeks. Man, doesn’t it feel good not listening to his bullshit night after night? But I also can see that it’s hurting you guys. Conner is losing matches. You guys are losing matches. Hell, even Salena spent the week with us; and she loved every minute of it.

“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – That’s right Conner, she loved every single minute of it!!!

Insanity – Point being, your little Legacy group; it aint nothen without Go-D and it just goes to show everyone in the Empire that if you cut the head off of Legacy, the rest of you; well, you’re nothen more than a bunch of bitch ass punks. New Regime, there’s a new standard in the tag team division boys; and it aint you. We are going to beat you boys tonight and at Last Rites, no matter who wins next week; we are going to run right through them too.

[ Prophet laughs as he puts his hands on their shoulders. ]

“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – Come on boys, let’s go put these dogs down.

[ He then covers his mouth with his hand as he giggles. ]

“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – Ooops, I didn’t mean put down.

[ The show cuts back to the announcers desk. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Prophet is one deranged individual partner. Why on Earth would you even want to mess with a man the size of Conner Edge?

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Prophet is trying to play mind games with Conner. First, he tried to use Salena to get Conner to sign that contract for a TV title match; and it worked. Now he’s baiting him in again for who knows what. I can only assume that it’s to goad Conner into another title defense at Last Rites.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The one thing that I did agree with is when Insanity talked about Legacy slipping now that Go-D has been on the mend after that horrific match against Tank at Blackout. Go-D had the hell beat out of him, but without the leader here every night; you can see that Legacy lacks direction. Folks, this is huge match we have coming up. The Zealots are defending their newly won World Tag Team titles against the former champions the New Regime. We have also learned that the winner of tonight’s match will go on to Last Rites to face either the Guerillas of Destiny or the Golden BoyZ. That will be determined next week right here on Adrenaline. So, without saying anymore; Harvey; it’s all yours, buddy.

World Tag Team Championship rematch
The Zealots © vs The New Regime

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following tag team match is set for one fall with a thirty-minute time limit and it is for the World Tag Team Championship!!! Making their way to the ring being accompanied by Prophet, they weigh in at a combined weight of 433 lbs; they are they are the World Tag Team Champions…Painkiller and Insanity, they are… the Zealots!!!

[ The crowd goes ape-shit booing as the arena goes dark and pyro explodes before “The Power of I and I” by Shadows Fall explodes across the arena. The red spotlight beams down to the center of the stage where the Zealots, Painkiller and Insanity stand center stage holding their World Tag Team titles high overhead. The sold-out crowd boos their asses off as they walk down to the ring and climb in. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a match this is going to be tonight. The Zealots defeated the New Regime at Blackout with the assist from Prophet and his holy Prophetic Book to claim the World Tag Team titles and it didn’t take long for the New Regime to enact their rematch clause for tonight.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Like they said last week. They are not waiting for Last Rites. They want their tag team titles back and they want them back tonight. This one should be good.

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring being accompanied by Salena, they weigh in at a combined weight of 480 lbs., Shinigami Shogun and Rasputin Ito; this is... the New Regime!!!

[ The crowd goes crazy cheering as “Tubular Bells” by Mike Oldfield rocks the arena as the two Japanese superstars make their way down to the ring with Salena by their side. Pyro and confetti shoot high into the air as they climb into the ring and pose on the turnbuckles!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – As we can clearly see, Salena is back with Legacy and she makes the long walk down the ramp with her tag team the New Regime after being kidnapped by Prophet and held hostage by the man.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – If you ask Prophet, it wasn’t a kidnapping. I don’t know what he thinks it was, but he made it out to seem like it was two old friends sharing quality time together. He bathed her, fed her and bought her nice clothes. A genuine Donald Trump.

[ The bell sounds and we start with Ito and Painkiller in the middle of the ring. They lock-up, but only for a second as Ito starts to push Painkiller towards the ropes. Once there, he goes for an Irish whip and Painkiller rebounds off the ropes and runs into a nasty standing clothesline! Ito goes for the early cover ...1 ...and Painkiller easily powers out!!! Prophet can be seen screaming at Salena from across the ring. ]

“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – Heart is where the home is baby!!! You know you want to be with us!!! Take a walk on the wild side sweetie. Once you go Clayton Reece yah never go back!!!

[ Ito drags Painkiller off the mat, but Painkiller quickly grabs Ito’s legs and hits a double leg takedown. Painkiller then twists Ito over and applies a Boston Crab causing Ito to cry out in agony! Ito tries to reach out and make the tag to Shogun, but Painkiller lets go of the hold and stomps the back of Ito’s leg. Ito tries to crawl over to his corner, but Painkiller drags him back across the ring and makes the tag to Insanity. Prophet starts to make a slow walk toward Salena who looks frightened as she backs away and looks back up the ramp for help. ]

“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – You know you want a piece of Big Daddy Messiah. You can’t deny that you loved every second you spent with me!!!

[ Insanity is tagged in and he sits Ito upright and kicks him in the back several times. Insanity then picks Ito up into a running powerslam position and he runs forward, but Ito slips down and nails Insanity with a German suplex from out of nowhere! Ito dives over to his corner and tags in Shogun. Shogun runs in and picks Insanity off the mat and then dropkicks him square in his face! Insanity staggers back up and gets laid out with another dropkick! Shogun springboards off the ropes and drives a double leg drop onto Insanity for good measure before trying for the pin ...1 ...2 ...and Prophet grabs Insanity foot and pulls it under the bottom rope!!! The referee sees this and screams at Prophet. ]

“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – Don’t hate the playa, hate the game Zebra man. You need to chill the fuck out!!!

[ Shogun heads over to the corner and ascends to the top turnbuckle and then jumps off going for a diving cross body, but Insanity catches him in mid-air and flips Shogun over onto his shoulder and powerslams Shogun onto the mat! Insanity goes for the quick cover ...1 ...2 ...and Salena grabs the referee’s foot distracting him!!! Prophet claps his hands and laughs out loud. ]

“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – That’s my girl!! Show that wild and crazy side baby!!! Show those teeth!!! You got some evil in yah, I know you do!!!

[ Insanity drags Shogun back up and blasts him with a European uppercut before making the tag to Painkiller! Together, they whip Shogun off into the ropes, hitting a double back body drop on the return. Insanity hits the ropes and rockets back with a basement European uppercut to the back of Shogun’s head! Painkiller goes for the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Ito dives in breaking up the count!!! Prophet is now just feet away from Salena as he reaches out his hand to her. ]

“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – Come, be my sweet valentine!!! Let’s make sweet, sweet music together. Let me wash off that stink of cow shit from you...

[ Just then, the WWE TV Champion Conner Edge rushes the ring and starts waylaying in on Prophet!!! Salena runs back up the ramp trying to get out of the way as the brawl spills over the guardrail and into the crowd!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – This is crazy!!! I have to believe that Prophet said all that knowing full well that Conner was in the back listening to every word he was saying. How much can one man take?!

[ The referee watches from the ring apron as Prophet and Conner start to brawl up the stairs and into the concession area!!! Outside the ring, Havok dives into the ring armed with a steel chair and she blasts Shogun across the head knocking him out!!! Painkiller drops down to make the cover as Havok rolls out of the ring taking the steel chair with her. Insanity screams at the referee to turn around and when he does, he looks dumbfounded seeing Shogun out, and Painkiller on him. The referee drops down to make the count ...1 ...2 ...and the referee pauses for a split second knowing that something fishy just happened but cannot prove it ...3!!! ]

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by pin-fall and still World Tag Team Champions the Zealots!!!

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What the hell is Havok doing and why did she help the Zealots like that?!

[ The referee hands the Zealots their World Tag Team title belts and raises their hands in victory. They smile and celebrate when Havok rolls back into the ring and stands between laughing. ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – It’s pretty apparent partner, that Havok is now part of the Zealots siding with Prophet!!! It all makes perfect sense now why she turned her back on Bloody Mary like she did in their match!!!

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a swerve by Havok to turn her back on her tag team partner only to team up with the Zealots!!! Folks, before we get to our first of two Emperor’s Crown Tournament matches slated for tonight; let’s listen in as Godzilla gets ready for his big match tonight against Steve Scott. ]

[ We go backstage where Z.O.E. is dressed like Maxwell Shaw with Godzilla Sanchez ready to be interviewed. ]

Z.O.E. - Godzilla, last week Travis Blake seemed to blame everyone but himself for losing to you again, any response?

The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion “The Heartbreak Kaiju” Godzilla Sanchez - What, I'm supposed to be sorry I bribed the Guerillas to not help him climb a ladder? And you know, if he can't understand how the chance to be a billionaire was too good to pass up for the Mean Girls and let bygones be bygones, that's on him. And if he can't consider what it said about him as a leader that his men betrayed him for a couple forty-thousand-dollar watches, that's also on him. I'd suggest he needs therapy but if he can't accept there is a problem, I doubt anyone else can help him.

Z.O.E. - Do you see yourself giving him another shot at either of your belts?

The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion “The Heartbreak Kaiju” Godzilla Sanchez - Well I still owe Psycho Messiah a US title shot and Maverick has next on cruiserweight so ...no not really. Maybe if he can go a month without accusing someone of blowing someone or fucking someone to get ahead, I'll re-evaluate it but right now I'm moving forward with my career.

Z.O.E. – Tonight, you have been told that to resume your friendship with Maverick; you must not defend yourself against Steve Scott. Will you comply?

The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion “The Heartbreak Kaiju” Godzilla Sanchez - If it means we're friends again and he'll support me dating his sister, I really have no choice. I'm sure a guy with a nickname like Bloodlust will understand and not overdo it.

Z.O.E. - So his sister is special to you?

The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion “The Heartbreak Kaiju” Godzilla Sanchez - She's the most amazing person I've ever met. I wish I had known sooner she was into me, but I think we're both ready to make up for lost time.

[ Maxwell Shaw enters the picture. ]

Maxwell Shaw - I looked everywhere, are you sure you saw Mandy Moore?

The United States Heavyweight and World Cruiserweight Champion “The Heartbreak Kaiju” Godzilla Sanchez – Um ...I guess not?

[ Maxwell looks at Z.O.E. dressed like him. ]

Maxwell Shaw – Well ...I guess I'd look nice with boobs.

[ Z.O.E. and Godzilla giggle and walk off together as the show swings back to Phillip and Caristico. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I gotta tell you, I like Godzilla a lot more than I ever liked him with those two evil women Jessica McKay and Cassie Lee. Thank God Z.O.E. came along and talked some sense into him because he was about to make the biggest mistake of his life.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I couldn’t agree more. But if you listen to him, he doesn’t seem remorseful about it. He’s trying to use it as a tool to learn and get better. I think he realizes how much he let his friends and family down and is willing to do whatever it takes to set the record straight. If that means laying down tonight to Steve Scott, then he will do that.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, before we get to tonight’s match; we would like to welcome the undisputed World Heavyweight Champion Tank Edge to the broadcast table!!!

[ “Painkiller” by Judas Priest starts up and out walks the World Heavyweight Champion Tank Edge. He has the World title belt on his shoulder and is wearing the new EMPIRESHOP.COM hit shirt “Tank Edge - Go-D Killer” that features a picture of Tank with Go-D locked in the Rings of Saturn. Tank makes his way to the commentary booth, puts the world title on the table and joins the team.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Tank, to what do we owe this honor?

The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Well you know, world champion or not; I'm always looking for a post retirement career. I thought I'd see how I did on commentary for these tournament matches.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico - (jokingly) Coming after my job, Tank.

The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Yes, actually.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Well ...don't.

The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Oh well see, you never know. I might not like it.

In a First Round Emperors Crown Tournament Match
Godzilla © vs Steve Scott

[ “Godzilla” by the Blue Oyster Cult starts up and Godzilla Sanchez comes stomping out wearing a suit of armor similar to William Thatcher in A Knights Tale. Z.O.E. comes rushing to his side dressed as Chaucer and Maverick comes out dressed as Jocelyn. The trio make their way to the ring, Maverick diverts and has a throne set up in the front row he sits in. Z.O.E grabs a microphone. ]

Z.O.E - My Lords and ladies and anybody else not sitting here on a cushion. Today you will all find yourselves equals, for you are all equally blessed, for I have the pride, the privilege, nay, the PLEASURE, of introducing you to a Knight, sired by knights. A knight who can trace his lineage beyond Charlemagne. I first met him on a mountain top in Jerusalem, praying to God, asking for forgiveness for Travis Blake’s blood he spilled on a ladder. Next, he amazed me even further in Italy, when he saved an unfortunate Ewe, from a ravenous Pezzer. In Greece, he spent a year in silence, to understand the sound of a whisper.

[ She puts her hands to her lips and pauses. ]

Z.O.E - So, without further guilding the lily and with no more ado, I give to you “The seeker of serenity” “The protector of Ewe virginity” and “The Enforcer of taking belts from Travis Blake”. The one, THE ONLY ...SIR GODZILLA VON SANCHEZ!!!!

[ The crowd cheers as Godzilla walks forward and waves his hand. Z.O.E gives him a kiss on the cheek and exits the ring and goes and stands by Maverick. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway - She does a pretty good Paul Bettany.

The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Super talented girl, she actually was accepted into some big dance school when she was twelve. I'm surprised she picked wrestling, but I guess it's kinda like dancing.

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring being accompanied by Reverend Azazel, he weighs in at weight of 200 lbs.; this is… “Bloodlust” Steve Scott!!!

[ The crowd boos as Steve Scott walks out on stage to “The Nobodies” by Marilyn Manson with Reverend Azazel right behind him. Pyro explodes around him as he makes his way to the ring and climbs in!! Azazel walks around the ring as the fans at ringside bad mouth him. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway - Godzilla has been ordered to just take a beating. You think he is going to do it?

The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - I talked with him in the back earlier and he seemed mostly sold on the idea. He knows he's throwing away a big chance if he does. I'm honestly curious to see how he holds up.

[ The bell rings and Godzilla goes and stands center ring; he spreads his arms out and looks to the sky. Steve Scott seems unsure what to do, but he opens by chopping Godzilla's chest. Godzilla covers up and turns around, but sees Maverick and looks at Scott and screams for another. Scott chops him again; Godzilla turns around and Scott attacks him this time. He grabs him and slams his head into the turnbuckle for a nine count, Godzilla staggers but Scott tosses him back into the corner and unleashes a series of rights and lefts and Godzilla falls to the ground. Scott starts stomping the hell out of Godzilla, who is just taking it. Scott stops and walks away as Godzilla is trying to crawl away. Steve Scott, gets on the second rope, as Godzilla gets to his feet he jumps and hits him with the Kill Shot (diving DDT from the second rope)!!! He covers for the ...1 ...2 ...and then he pulls Godzilla up. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway - Steve Scott had the win, but apparently; he isn't done.

The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - I get he's not quite a jobber, but he's not far off. Guy like that he's never going to have an opportunity to take on his better again, probably, well at least not when he can't defend himself.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico - Just pinning him immediately puts him in line for a US and Cruiserweight title shot though.

The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Probably yeah.

[ Scott picks up Godzilla and slams an elbow into his face and Godzilla staggers to the ropes. Scott comes at him and clotheslines him over the top rope. Steve Scott gets out of the ring and grabs Godzilla and tosses him into the guardrail in front of Maverick and Z.O.E. He slams Godzilla's head off the top several times before letting him fall back down. He says something to Maverick who shakes his head at him. Scott picks up Godzilla, lifts him up and drops him throat first on the guardrail. He begins stomping Godzilla again and laughing manically like a madman letting out all his psychopathic rage. He takes a couple steps back and as Godzilla gets to his knees he charges and goes to kick him in the head when Maverick suddenly flies over the guardrail and tackles Steve Scott and begins pummeling him. The referee calls for the bell. ]

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – Your winner via disqualification, “Bloodlust” Steve Scott!!!

The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Maverick may have laid down the terms, but I guess he thought Steve Scott was being too much of a jerk about it.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway - As Maverick pounds away, Steve Scott is not looking like much of a winner.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico - And he gets a match with Mitch Fierce next for his efforts.

[ Maverick tosses Steve Scott into the ring and follows as Z.O.E checks on Godzilla. Steve Scotts is able to get out of the ring before Maverick reaches him and bails up the ramp. Maverick gets out of the ring as Z.O.E has helped Godzilla to his feet. He says something to Godzilla and they hug. ]

The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - A disappointing end to Godzilla's run in the tournament, but sometimes friendship means more than belts.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico - Your actions throughout your career would argue otherwise.

The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge - Well, two wrongs you know?

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Tank, the main event is next. Are you planning to stay with us right to the end of the show?

The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – That’s the plan unless you two don’t want me here. I can already see that Caristico over here looks a little intimidated by me being here.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I’m not intimidated in the least. You stick to doing what you do best and I’ll stick to mine. We both do that; we will be fine.

[ Just then, someone reaches over the guardrail and rips off Caristico’s headset. All three men turn back and see that it’s “Superfan” Benny Dutton again. They watch as he puts the head set on and starts screaming at tank, who is not on his feet. ]

“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Tank, you need to hear me out man. Please, please don’t walk away again. That really hurt my feelings.

The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Kid, just go the fuck home. See a fucking therapist.

“Superfan” Benny Dutton – But I love you. I followed your whole career!!! I’ve got all your big matches on VHS!!!

[ Benny opens his backpack and starts rifling out dozens of VHS tapes throwing them at Tank. ]

“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Tank defeats the Monster Machine for the ECW World title back in ’06!!! Tank wins the North American title at Civil War in ’05!!! Tank wins the NWA/TNA TV title in ’06!!! Tank wins the ECW X-Treme Hardcore title in ’05!!! Tank wins the Heavyweight title in ’07!!! Tank wins the Undisputed World Heavyweight title in both ’06 and ’07!!!

[ And Benny tosses two VHS tapes at Tank, one for each year. ]

“Superfan” Benny Dutton – You won the Greatest of All Time title back in ’09!!!

[ Tank walks over to Benny near the guardrail. ]

The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Kid, enough. I get it. You want an autograph from me, I’ll get it for you. You want a fucking tee shirt I’ll get you one. You want tickets to Last Rites, I’ll get you one in the front row. Just do me a favor and go home.

[ Benny has a twisted and confused look on his face. ]

“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Tee shirts? You think everything I’ve done for you is about tee shirts?

The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Honestly, I have no idea what the hell is going on in your head.

“Superfan” Benny Dutton – That’s funny Tank. It’s funny that you would think that everything I have done for you, the web sites. The YouTube Channel. Twitch. Facebook. Tinder. Instagram. Every fucking thing I have done is all about a God damn tee shirt? I own all your tee shirts. I have spent thousand in tee shirts alone!!! My bedroom is like a shrine to you!!! I have Tank Edge pillow cases and blankets!!! I have all your action figures!!! All your trading cards!!! Every God damn magazine your face was ever in!!!

[ Tank puts his hands up trying to defuse the situation. ]

The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Kid, I appreciate that and my bank account appreciates that; but this is over. Go home!!!

[ Benny is livid as he screams at Tank, his face turning bright red. The veins in his neck and head popping out and spittle flying from his mouth. ]

“Superfan” Benny Dutton – Fuck you Tank, fuck you!!! I’m not leaving until I get what I came here for!!! You owe me!!!

[ Tank laughs openly at Benny which makes the young man even more pissed off. ]

The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Benny, what the hell do you think I owe you kid because up until two weeks ago, I had no friggen clue who you even were?

“Superfan” Benny Dutton – I want my title shot?

The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – A title shot? You think I owe you a title shot? Are you out of your fucking mind?

“Superfan” Benny Dutton – I came here for my title shot and I aint leaving until I get it!!!

[ Benny stands there defiantly like a cowboy ready to draw in a gun fight. Tank chuckles at the man. ]

The World Heavyweight Champion “The Ring General” Tank Edge – Go home kid. I don’t wanna hurt you.

[ Tank turns around and starts to walk away when from behind, Benny blasts Tank with his country style guitar!!! Tank collapses in a heap on the floor as Benny jumps the guardrail and kneels in Tanks face. ]

“Superfan” Benny Dutton – I want what you owe me!!! Twenty-eight years of my life dedicated just to you!!! I lived, breathed and ate everything about you!!! Your fucking cereal, all your snacks; those cheap power drinks. Everything I did, I did it for you!!! I want my title shot at Last Rites!!!

[ Benny stands up and sees the World title belt glistening on the announcer’s desk. The lights from the arena sparkling off the gold. A sadistic smile comes over Benny’s face as he snatches the world belt off the table and starts kissing it. He sees Tank’s name on the plate and starts running his fingers across it. He places the gold belt against his face and closes his eyes. ]

“Superfan” Benny Dutton – What a magical moment it is going to be Tank when I beat you for this World title!!! I’ll see you at Last Rites!!!

[ Benny leaps over the guardrail and walks through the crowd with World title in hand. The ringside doctor rushes over to see to Tank as the crowd boos Benny. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Are you kidding me? This crazy kid just stole the World title. We need to get security at every exit!!! Somebody stop this kid!!!

[ As we try and get things under control at ringside, the cameras fly backstage as we see Bloody Mary holding the back of her head in a bit of pain and she doesn’t look happy. ]

Bloody Mary – Havok, get your ass out here!!!

[ Mary goes from dressing room to dressing room opening every door looking for Havok, but cannot find her. ]

Bloody Mary – Where the hell are you?

[ Just then, the Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim walks up to Bloody Mary. ]

The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Mary, Mary please calm down.

Bloody Mary – Calm down? Are you for real? Did you see what she did to me? How she turned on me?

The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – Yes, I saw the whole thing. I promise you that we will sort this out. But she’s not here right now. I watched her leave after she helped the Zealots retain their titles.

Bloody Mary – Screw her. I want her to pay!!! I want her in a match!!!

The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – I know you do. Let’s just take a step back and think this through. Come-on.

[ Together, Gail and Mary walk off as the show cuts back to the announcers desk where Caristico and Phillip look very serious. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, what a crazy night we have had so far. I never thought that we could top last week, but this night just proved me wrong.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – It’s been a night full of amazing action and drama and we still cannot locate Benny or the World title that he took with him. We hope to learn more before we go off the air.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Folks, it’s time for tonight’s main event of the evening and it features Conner Edge taking on Alexander Stone in a first round Emperors Crown Tournament matchup. Let’s get right to the action shall we?

In a First Round Emperors Crown Tournament Match
Conner Edge © vs Alexander Stone

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit and it is a first round Emperor’s Crown Tournament match-up!! Making his way to the ring weighing in at 251 lbs. he is one-third of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions; this is… “Pure Gold” Alexander Stone!!

[ “Hyperpower” by Nine Inch Nails blares across the arena as Alexander Stone walks out on stage wearing his World Six-man Tag Team title belt around his waist. Red, white and blue pyro explodes all around him as he marches down to the ring as fans explode to their feet cheering him on. The sold-out arena is deafening as he climbs into the ring, taking off his jacket and sunglasses off and tossing them to the floor. He mounts the middle turnbuckle and shows off his belt as the fans go nuts!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – It’s amazing to believe that just one year ago this young man was hated by everyone. But with the rise of Prophet, he made the switch and now he’s a fan favorite. Let’s hope it stays that way.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Stone has been the rock of the Empire ever since the reopening. He’s done it all and has held numerous belts to prove it. Tonight, he takes the first step in becoming the World Heavyweight Champion once again!!!

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring being weighing in at 270 lbs.; this is the World Wrestling Empire Television Champion “The Cowboy from Hell” Conner Edge!!!

[ The camera focuses on the videotron as a flaming horse runs across and behind it spells out in flames "The Cowboy from Hell" as “Cowboys from Hell” blares throughout the arena. The camera pans down and Conner Edge stands with his right hand out in the claw position and his TV title around his waist. He lifts his fist in the air before making his way down to the ring and climbs in showing off his TV title belt.]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Tank’s one-hundred percent right. Conner is a miserable prick and we can also see that Salena is not coming down to the ring with Conner tonight like she did with the New Regime. I hate to say it but Legacy is starting to fall apart without the leadership of Go-D these past few weeks.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I don’t understand what it is with the women of this company being used as bait to lure out the men into doing something stupid. First it was Conner and Mance Warner. Then it was Tony Tran and Mitch. Now we’re back to Conner again. Stupid is as stupid does people. Smarten up!!!

[ The match is about to get underway when “Scars that I'm Hiding" by Ashes to New explodes across the arena and the fans erupt to their feet booing as “The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake walks out. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What the hell does this jack-ass want?

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – My guess is that he wants a first-hand look at who he might be facing next week in the second round now that both Mitch Fierce and Steve Scott are locked in to their respective match.

[ Travis takes the slow walk down to the ring as the referee, Stone and Conner just glare at him. Travis walks over and takes a seat next to Caristico and puts on a headset. ]

“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Caristico, as always; it’s a pleasure. Phil, you can kiss my ass you British fuck. Still not over it that we kicked your asses back in the Revolutionary War, huh?

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I can’t do anything about you joining us at ringside, but if you touch me...

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Don’t worry buddy, I got your back. He’s not going to do anything.

[ Travis laughs. ]

“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – What, you gonna stop me Caristico; or did you forget I knocked your ass out last week too? Phillip’s just a fat lump of shit and you’re not even half the wrestler you used to be so fuck off the both of yah. I’ll do whatever, and say whatever the fuck I want. Now ring the fucking bell and let’s see whose ass I’m going to kick next week.

[ The referee calls for the bell at last, and Stone and Conner waste little time; coming to clash together only for Conner to cut Stone off with a big knee to the gut! Conner then clubs away at Stone’s back looking to wear him down as much as possible before grabbing him by the waist and hitting a gutwrench suplex to take Stone up and over!!! The crowd is in awe as Conner goes for the early cover ...1 ...and Stone powers out before the count of two hits the mat!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – The power of both of these men will be on full display tonight. This is not a TV title match, but you can sense early on that both men know what’s at stake and what it’s going to take to win this thing.

[ Travis rolls his eyes at Phillip. ]

“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Please Felipa, could you blow these guys anymore? We all know that you’re a huge Stone mark, and that deep down you got wood for him.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – I was just informing...

“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Fuck off.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Ok guys, cool it. Don’t make me get between you.

[ Conner drags Stone up and delivers some stiff elbow shots to the back of his neck before applying a neck vice, trying to wrench in the hold!! The referee is right there to ask if Stone wants to give it up, but Stone refuses and tries to battle his way back to a vertical base! Conner tries to switch things up by applying a rear chin lock in an attempt to maintain his control, and it seems to be working until Stone somehow manages to slip his body behind Conner’s, lifting him into the air and dropping backwards with a back suplex to break up the chin lock! Both men break apart and then clamber back to their feet, but it’s Conner who manages to get up first swinging with all his might to try and cut Stone off with a clothesline but somehow, Stone ducks the shot and as Conner turns around, he unloads with some vicious backhand chops to the chest! Stone backs Conner into the ropes and then tries for an Irish whip, but Conner reverses it and then swings for a clothesline but this time Stone manages to grab his arm and uses it to swing himself all the way around Conner before dropping in front of him and snapping off a big time DDT! Stone emphatically goes for the cover hooking a leg as the referee counts ...1 ...and this time it is Conner that kicks out before the count of two!!! ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Both men have taken their shots at each other early on and neither man seems ready to concede this match just yet.

“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – See that Felipa? Nice, precise and well-spoken showing little to no favoritism what’s so ever.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Can we just get back to the match? It’s obvious that you do not like me.

“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Like you? I can’t fucking stand you. From your hair, to your cologne to that stupid clown smile you have; just the sight of you makes me want to beat your ass.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Guys, please.

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – If you don’t like me, you can leave anytime. I, unlike you; have a job to do and I intend on doing it.

[ Travis laughs his ass off and claps. ]

“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Look who grew a set of balls all of a sudden. Better watch your tongue or I’ll have you tasting shoe leather just like Mark did last week.

[ Back in the ring, Stone drags Conner over to the corner, unleashing even more backhand chops to the chest that leave a bright red hand mark on Conner’s chest!!! Stone then hits an Irish whip that sends Conner crashing into the turnbuckles before charging after him at full tilt and landing a massive clothesline that crushes Conner in the corner! Stone then turns around and follows up with a snapmare out of the corner that leaves Conner sitting upright before Stone hits a soccer style punt right into Conner's face that lays the TV champion out!!! Stone quickly tries for the cover once again ...1 ...2 ...Conner shoots his shoulder off the mat as blood trickles from a split lip formed by that kick to the face!!! ]

“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Son bitch that looked like it hurt!!!

[ Travis claps and whistles cheering Stone on. ]

“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Go get’em yah big dumb son of a bitch!!

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Oh please, stop acting like you like the man. Everyone knows that you can’t stand him.

“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Wait, did you hear that?

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Hear what?

“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – That’s the band tuning up because I’m about to kick you in your fat face!!!

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Can we get security out here? I’m starting to feel threatened.

[ Stone pulls Conner up and into a standing head position before driving his knee up and catching Conner under the jaw! Conner staggers over to the ropes where Stone goes after him and lashes out with a couple more chops before going for an Irish whip again, this time landing a dropkick on the return! Stone then takes Conner by the leg, twisting around to deliver a spinning toe hold, twisting a second time, and then a third before trapping the limb and now jumping up and driving his entire body weight down on top of it for good measure!! Conner cries out in agony as Stone gets back to his feet, taking Conner’s leg in his hand as he then proceeds to twist around it once again, before dropping down to apply the Moneymaker (ankle lock submission)!! ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Stone’s got the Moneymaker locked in deep!!! Conner is nowhere near the ropes!!! This might be it!!! If Stone can get Conner to tap out, he will move on to face you Travis next week!!!

“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Caristico, I liked you right up to the point where you opened your mouth. Now you sound like fat-boy over here jerking Stone off or something.

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I was just trying to be as precise as I can when calling this match.

“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Shut the fuck up and just sit there with your dumb ass mask on. Nobody cares what you think. They are all here to see me and only me. It doesn’t matter who wins this match. They all know it’s all going to come down to me at the pay per view. All these other ass wipes are just cannon fodder. I will be the next World Heavyweight Champion!!!

[ The referee is right there to ask Conner if he wants to give it up, but the big man refuses despite the immense pain he’s in!! Stone tries to apply as much pressure as possible, really wrenching in the hold but Conner still refuses!! Conner begins digging deep, looking to turn himself over to reverse the pressure and Stone tries his damnedest to stop him!! Conner’s strength is just too much to stop as he finally twists onto his front and achieves his goal, causing Stone to be the one crying out in agony now as he just reversed the hold on him!!! Stone quickly reaches out and grab grabs the bottom rope forcing the break!!! Both men are twisted in knots as the referee has to break apart the hold himself, with both men separating and then struggling to get back to their feet again. Stone rushes at Conner and takes a swing in search of a clothesline, but Conner ducks the shot and allows Stone to hit the ropes before delivering a big time spinebuster from out of nowhere on the rebound!!! Conner goes for the pin ...1 ...2 ...and Stone kicks out!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a difference in matches we are seeing tonight compared to last week’s match where Conner faced Prophet for the TV title.

“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Dude, shut the fuck up. That was a hardcore match and this is a wrasslin’ match. Of course, they are going to be fucking different. Can we get Mike Godwinn in here? This clown is pissing me off and I can’t think straight when I’m pissed off.

[ Conner is starting to get really angry now as he gets back to his feet, trying to shake off the pain in his ankle! Meanwhile, Stone claws his way back up as well, walking right into some thunderous rights to the jaw before Conner whips him off the ropes and hits a back body drop on the return!! Conner then waits for Stone to get back to his feet and nails him with the Iron Claw Slam!!! Conner again tries for the pin attempt again ...1 ...2 ...and Stone shoots his right shoulder off the mat!!! ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Conner looks shocked right now as Stone starts to crawl away reaching for the ring ropes to pull himself back up to his feet!!!

“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – God, I hate this fucking guy. When the world comes to an end it’s just going to be cockroaches and Stone!!!

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Do I sense a level of fear in your voice? Are you afraid of him?

“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Dude, fuck off. You couldn’t host a British fucking bake-off yah dumb fuck.

[ Conner is pissed, clawing at his hair in frustration!!! He seems to have had enough now as he demands that Stone get back up again signaling that it’s fucking over!!! Conner is practically foaming at the mouth as Stone clambers back to his feet, right as Conner locks on a second Iron Claw Slam!!! Desperate, Stone wails away with rapid fire elbow shots to the side of Conners head until he releases the hold. Stone then hoists Conner up and hits the Stonebreaker (suplex lift into a spinning sidewalk slam)!!! Exhausted, Stone collapses on top of Conner to make the cover ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Conner barely kicks out!!! ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Both men have kicked out of each other’s finishers!!! This is unbelievable.

“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Here’s something you can believe. When I hit either one of these ass-wipes with the Weapon X, neither one of them are going to be getting up anytime soon. And when they do, they will be drinking out of a straw for about two months!!!

[ Stone is the one in shock now, as he questions the referee’s count only to yank Conner back up and setting him up for a second Stonebreaker (suplex lift into a spinning sidewalk slam) to finish this once and for all! But before he can hit it, Conner rams the point of his elbow right to the bridge of Stone’s nose!!! Stone is stunned as Conner charges in from behind and nails a Polish Hammer to the back of Stone!!! Conner sets Stone up and drives him almost through the mat with a second Iron Claw Slam!!! Conner sluggishly drops down on both knees and just leans over Stone forcing him to stay on the mat with both hands as the referee counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Stone shoots his left shoulder off the mat!!! ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – I wouldn’t believe it unless I saw it with my own two eyes!!! Nobody survives two Iron Claw Slams and lives to talk about it!!! Stone is superhuman!!!

“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Please child, the Iron fucking whatever it’s called has nothing on the Weapon X!!! I’ll knock Conner’s ass back to Sesame Street, that big dumb goof!!!

[ The crowd can hardly believe it as Conner is boiling over as his face is red and the veins in his neck are bulging out!!! He’s had enough now, dragging Stone back up and setting up for a third and final Iron Claw Slam when suddenly, the crowd pops and “The Power of I and I” by Shadows Fall rocks the arena as Prophet struts out on stage with a smile on his face. ]

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – Are you kidding me? Prophet just won’t quit!!!

“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Finally, something interesting is going to happen in this match. I was getting fucking bored.

[ Prophet starts to walk down to the ring. ]

“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – Conner, baby, snoogie; did yah miss me sweetie?

[ Prophet laughs at Conner as he circles the ring like a vulture. ]

“The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” “The Prophet” Clayton Reece – You and I kiddo, we’re not done yet. You can play with the “Meat Man” all you want, but everyone knows it’s me you got a hard-on for. I’m the one yah just can’t get enough off.

[ Back in the ring, Conner drops Stone and rolls out of the ring going after Prophet. Another war at ringside ensues as both men go back and forth with huge closed fists, with neither man backing down!!! The referee stands on the ring apron making his count ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...5 ...and Prophet launches Conner into the steel guardrail ...6 ...7 ...8 ...and Prophet charges at Conner, but the TV champion sends Prophet sailing into the sea of fans with a back body drop ...9 ...10...and Conner climbs over the steel guardrail going after Prophet not caring about his match anymore!!! ]

“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match by countout, Alexander Stone!!!

“British Royalty” Phillip Greenway – What a shitty way to end what was a five-star match guys.

[ Just then, Travis grabs the World Six-man title belt, rolls into the ring; and just as the referee raises Stone’s arm in victory; Travis blasts Stone from behind laying him out!!! ]

“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What the hell!!! What a dirt bag!!!

[ Travis smiles as he stands over Stone slamming the title belt down at the mat yelling... ]

“The Face of the Empire” Travis Blake – Don’t you ever forget; you’ll always be my bitch!!! I own you!!! You hear me? I own your fucking ass Stone!!!

[ The show fades to black as the credits start to roll. ]

EPILOGUE...

[ After the credits roll, we see Felix Escobar back in his dressing room on the phone with someone. Things do not look good for Felix as he just listens to what the person on the other end is saying with the occasional “Ci papa.” After a few very long minutes, Felix peels the phone away from his ear and he tries to crush his cell phone in his bare hands. When he realizes that he can’t do it, he launches it against the wall shattering it. ]

Holidead – What did he say?

“The Raven” Felix Escobar – What did he say?

[ Felix smiles and chuckles. ]

“The Raven” Felix Escobar – What didn’t he say. He told me how disappointed in me he is. How disappointed he is in all of you. How much money he has wasted in all of us!!! Oh, and here’s the best part.

[ He pauses as everyone in the room listens to what Felix is about to say. ]

“The Raven” Felix Escobar – He’s coming to Last Rites!!! He wants to be there when Tito and I kill each other!!!

[ Everyone’s jaws hit the floor. ]

To be continued...
