John Black vs. Dionysus vs. Jill Park
Adilene Floyd: The following is scheduled for ONE FALL! Introducing first, she weighs in at 135 lbs... "ILL" JILL PARK!!
“Therefore I am” begins to play through the PA system and Jill Park struts onto the ramp in a white jacket and thick white aviator sunglasses. She stops in the center of the stage as golden pyro consumes her for a moment. As it dissipates, she walks down to the ring(usually to a chorus of boos) and she slides into the ring. Jill stands in the center of the ring and slowly and sensually removes the jacket, tossing it in the nearest corner.
Chris Avery: Love Jill or hate her, she has to be in the conversation of people that made an impact in their rookie year by taking some big wins. It's undeniable that she's going to be a force to be reckoned with, but she wants the World Title in a big way!Billy: I'd say I like her reality show, but I mostly just put it on for background noise while I play with dogs!Adilene Floyd: And her first opponent, weighing in at 260 lbs... JOHN BLACK!!
The lights goes out, and we hear the record scratching, then once "I get Real Raw" is heard JB comes out to the stage with the lights on as the song plays on the iron. He then stands at the entrance way, looking at the crowd and walks down to the ramp and gives everyone some daps. Then he slides into the ring, and stands at the corner and taunts to everyone. Then he stands in the middle of the ring as his theme cuts off.
Chris Avery: Always an underground favorite, Black is trying to push himself to the next level after losing the Television title, and there is no better way to insert himself into higher rankings than a win over two people who have staked their claim to the main event.Billy: I like this guy! He's at least as good a rapper as say, Mike Jones or Bubba Sparxxx.Chris Avery: I - I don't know if I should be embarrassed for you or laugh at you, for even knowing the name Mike Jones.Billy: WHO??Adilene Floyd: And their opponent, he weighs in at 275 lbs... one-half of the AW Tag Team Champions... DIONYSUS!!
"Bazelgeuse" by Falkkone begins to play throughout the Arena. "The Legion", 20 Centurion guards march down the aisle, lining up 10 on one side and 10 on the other leading down to the ring and stand at attention.
A quadriga of four Clydesdale horses pulling a chariot made of gold appears carrying "The Crimson Gladiator" Dionysus and makes its way down the aisle as if entering the Roman Colosseum ready to do battle and circles the ring and stops.
As Dion enters the ring, the quadriga of four Clydesdale horses pulling a chariot made of gold makes its way back up the aisle and disappears followed by The Legion.
"The Crimson Gladiator" Dionysus, standing in the middle of the ring, raising a scepter of Dionysus toward the crowd and starts banging the shaft against a custom made Vibranium/steel alloy Spartan shield calling out his opponent to engage him into a fight to the death.
Dionysus's fans stand in unison to cheer their warrior as gold coins in his likeness rains down on him in the center of the ring. He looks out to his fans, who give Dionysus the thumbs up and gives his opponent the thumbs down, meaning "Death!"
Dion raises both arms holding the scepter and custom made Spartan shield wide out over his head in praise to the crowd and let's out a Gladiator bloodcurdling scream.
Chris Avery: Last week, at Awardsclash, Dionysus shocked the world, and his tag team partner, Downfall, by talking about how when January 25th, a year to the date of when his moratorium on facing Downfall comes up, he will be dedicating himself to chasing after the World Title. Making a bold statement, even though it may mean the tag team partners might find some conflict.Billy: It was a crazy move! Why mess with a good thing, if it works??Chris Avery: Well, we've seen over the past year, Dionysus is unconventional, and his motives are often off-kilter, but there is no one here with more determination or heart. We saw this when he went after the number one spot in Havoc. If he wants to get into the World Title picture, he'll make it his goal no matter what.As the bell rings, the three superstarts all eye each other. Black looks for Dionysus to Jill, and after a few words of warning to her, as Dionysus is trying to step up towards him, Black begins laying into Dionysus with right hands. Dionysus staggers forwards, and Jill begins giving him a few rights as well. For a moment, both Black and Jill are clubbing away at him, then he fights back with rights and elbow shots, and is almost able to fight both competitors off, but then they both give him a double knee lift to the midsection, doubling him over. Black and Jill lift Dionysus up, and begin clubbing him over the back repeatedly. Dionysus fights back by flinging a few elbows at their midsections, but Black whips him into the corner with force. Jill and Black begin laying the boots to Dionysus, booting him down to a sitting position.
Chris Avery: What an unlikely display of unity from these two.Billy: They're united in their disdain for Dionysus, and I mean, he kind of brings it on himself, come out here with his LARP centurion armor and swords and whatnot. NERD.Chris Avery: You know that the venn diagram of people that LARP and people that watch this show overlaps quite a bit, don't you.Billy: .... NERRRRDS.Black and Jill lift Dionysus up and punish him with a double vertical suplex. Black drops an elbow across Dion's chest, then backs up as Jill comes in and gives him a leg drop across the throat. Dionysus rolls around on the mat in pain. Black lifts Dionysus up, applying a modified abdominal stretch so Jill has a clear shot at him, and Jill lays into Dionysus's stomach with a few stiff martial arts kicks. Finally, Jill punishes Dionysus with a knee lift to the side of the head, and Dionysus flops to the mat. Jill goes for the pin, but Black immediately pulls her off. Black lifts Jill up and throws her into the corner. He turns back to Dionysus, but Jill hops on his back and starts trying to apply a sleeper hold. Black flings her over his shoulder. Jill gets up, and Black takes her down with a back body drop, elevating her high into the air.
Billy: Wow, Jill is looking like she's in a world of discomfort already. Who knew that the nickname "ILL" worked on so many descriptive narrative levels?Black picks Jill up off the mat blasting her with a right hand, which staggers Jill backwards. Dionysus comes forward nailing Jill with a hard european uppercut that sends Jill into the ropes. Black motions to Dionysus, telling him to pull Jill up, which Dionysus does, albeit giving Black a cross look not forgetting that Black, like, JUST teamed with Jill a second ago, and together they plant Jill with a double suplex.
Chris Avery: There is something to be said for an effective divide and conquer strategy.Billy: Alright, take it down a little, Command and Conquer.Jill rolls to her feet, holding her back in pain and Black comes forward, clubbing her over the back. Black throws Jill forward, right into a beautiful standing dropkick from Dionysus. Black nods his assent. Black lifts Jill up and whips her into the corner. Dionysus tells Black to back off. He flashes a cocky grin at the crowd, then comes running in towards Jill but Jill feeds him a back elbow that has Dionysus grasping at his cheek. Black comes forward and then Jill fights back on "Mr. Underground" with a few right hands, then a few rights to Dionysus as Black stumbles away. Jill pulls herself up on the ropes. Both Black and Dionysus recover, and charge forward sending Jill over the top rope and out to the floor with a double clothesine. Dionysus turns towards Black, but the temporary detente breaks down as he eats a boot to the midsection before taking a rake across the eyes. Black hammers Dionysus with a right hand before attempting an irish whip, Dionysus reverses which sends Black towards the ropes where a relentless Jill reaches under the bottom rope, yanking the ankles out from under Black before pulling the heavyweight out to the floor. Jill hammers away with right hands before laying in stiff european uppercuts. In the ring Dionysus bounces off the far side gaining a head of steam before leaping through the top and middle rope with a suicide dive connecting with both Black and Jill knocking both of them back into the security railing.
Chris Avery: Very fast paced in the opening moments of this contest!Dion picks Jill up off the floor before sending her crashing into the ring steps shoulder first with an irish whip. Dionysus turns his attention to Black, catching him with a boot to the midsection before driving him face first into the ring post. Meanwhile, Jill reaches her feet, comes up behind Dionysus before spinning him around, driving a knee to the midsection which is followed by a snap suplex on the floor! Jill reaches under the ring pulling out a kendo stick. Black stumbles to his feet, turning in a circle, where he's cracked in the ribs by Jill, swinging for the fences. Jill laces Black across the back with a succession of sickening shots (heh.) that echo's throughout the arena. A writhing Black rolls underneath the bottom rope and drops down to the floor, and Jill's attention is turned towards Dionysus who pulls himself to his feet only to have the kendo stick shattered across his head to an audible gasp from the crowd! Dionysus crumbles to the floor as Jill's attention shifts back to Black. She picks the relatively smaller yet beefier Black up off the floor, before tossing him into the ring. Jill slides into the ring executing the first cover of the contest.
Chris Avery: Jill Park is teeing off, using the technically no-DQ rules of a triple threat match to her advantage!!The referee: One...
Two... Kickout.
Dionysus shoots back in the ring, knocking a rising Jill down. The Crimson Gladiator lays a few boots to Jill, then he turns and holds his arms out to gain the support of the crowd. As he does, John Black makes his way back to his feet. Black and Dionysus have a momentary staredown. Dionysus holds his hand out, sincere in his desire to show sportsmanship to all of his opposition. Black looks at it for a second, teases shaking his hand, then slaps it away. Dionysus, pissed off, snarls at Black, and slaps him in the face. Black tackles him down to the ground and begins mounting him with punches. Dionysus starts to cover up from the onslaught, but finally he is able to throw Black off. Black gets to his feet immediately, and begins clubbing Dionysus over the back.
Chris Avery: Looks like there won't be any more alliances in this match!Black and Dionysus are trading blows back and forth. Black staggers Dionysus back with a headbutt as Jill waits behind Black, giving Dionysus a few clubs to the back. Black turns around and Jill goes for a running front dropkick. Black moves, and Jill flies into Dionysus, booting him in the face. Dionysus rolls out of the ring. Jill gets to her feet and turns as Black goes for a clothesline, but Jill ducks and again locks onto his back with a sleeper hold. Black flails his arms around, as Jill tightens the hold, and the referee asks if he gives up, but Black shakes his head no. His face is starting to turn red. He immediately runs backwards and drives Jill back first into the turnbuckles with force. He squashes Jill into the corner again and again, and finally Jill releases the hold enough for Black to shift her around, grip her by the side and walk her out into the center of the ring for a sidewalk slam. He covers, and the referee drops down for the count.

Black lifts Dionysus up, when suddenly Dionysus rakes his eyes. Black turns away, scrubbing at his eyes, and Dionysus takes a moment to stumble away. He finds Jill, and he lifts her up. He applies a headlock on her, then he drops her with a running bulldog. He starts to go for a cover, but Black dives at him to break it up. Dionysus has it spotted and moves, letting Black sandwich Jill. Black gets up to his knees, and Dionysus punts him in the side of the head. Black flops back to the mat. Dionysus lets out a mighty gladiator battle cry. Dionysus then walks over to Jill. He punishes her with a backbreaker over his knee. Then, he grips her arm and twists it back with a Fujiwara armbar. Jill screams in pain. Dionysus yanks back on the arm.
Chris Avery: It looks like Dion is listening to the roar of the Circus maximus, with the frenzy he's showing as he wrenches the hold in on Jill.Billy: Oh, will you enough with the jargon, we get it, he's a Spartacus extra from Starz.Chris Avery: In a world with Lucha World orders, half-angel half demons that drink out of Solo cups, and Addy A lap-dancing with the devil how is a gladiator any harder for you to swallow?Billy: Cuz' shut up, that's why.Jill begins fighting back by flinging elbows into Dionysus's temple, repeatedly, until he finally loosens the hold. Dionysus clubs her over the back of the head. He whips Jill to the ropes. She catches herself on the ropes as she approaches and stops herself. Dionysus comes running at her.

She goes to lift Dionysus up, but then Dionysus grabs her by the hair and yanks her down with force onto the concrete floor on the back of her head. He begins peeling back a section of the mat, exposing the concrete. He turns to the crowd, holding his arms out and shouting "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?" and gaining a positive face reaction, as he lifts her up and hooks her in position for a vertical suplex. He lifts her up in the air for the suplex, about to drop her onto the concrete, but Black comes out of nowhere and spears Dionysus, causing both Dionysus and Jill to crash into the concrete with force.
Chris Avery: Oh my god! That looked like a three-car pileup!Black lifts Jill up over his head and drops her face first across the apron. Jill falls back, holding her face. Black lifts Dionysus up and whips him with force into the steel steps. Dionysus hits shoulder first with a loud crash. He moans in agony.

At that second, Jill gets a running start and, gripping the ropes as handles, she swings herself out between the top and second rope to perform a tiger feint kick into Dionysus, sandwiching his head into the steel ringpost with force. The crowd gives an "Ooooh!" at the impact. Dionysus limply falls to the ground outside the ring.

As he lifts Jill up for the pumphandle, she is able to flow out of hit and slide off his shoulder. She whips Black around, hitting him with a spinning back kick to the midsection, doubling him over, then she runs off the ropes and hits a running variation of a bicycle knee strike.

Thre- (Dionysus breaks it up by booting Black in the back of the head.)

Jill is laid out. Dionysus grins, and goes for a cover. Black runs in, holding the back of his head, and then Dionysus lets him dogpile onto Jill instead of following through with the cover. Black gets to his feet, and Dionysus knees him in the gut. He lifts him up and hits a signature STO backbreaker.

Chris Avery: Rolled a 1 on that one!!Dionysus gets to his feet, holding his chest, and he turns right into a superkick from Jill that leaves a memorable snapshot of spit flying from his mouth as her boot impacts his jaw. He totters, but he doesn't fall, just wobbles around in a full circle before being put in the sights of Black, who lifts the bigger man up and drops him with a pumphandle suplex!
Chris Avery: Back to back, Dionysus received Snowflake Swatter and the Jiggy Piggy Slam!Billy: Go find Russell Crowe, Dion!

Black winds up and lays an elbow strike in on Jill, making her stumble away. Jill comes forward, and Black grips her, going for a brainbuster. Jill counters out of it by hooking her leg around Blacks, blocking the lift... and she is able to knee Black in the groin while they're in such close quarters! The referee never even saw it, nor would he DQ Jill for it, exactly, but it was certainly... something. Black is doubled over, holding his groin, and gasping. Jill, on spaghetti legs, stumbles backwards into the ropes, but they propel her forward again, and she leaps up and hits a desperation, last-use of her energy curb stomp on the doubled over Black!
Chris Avery: CANCEL CULTURE!!The referee and the crowd: One...
Two...
Three - Black gets a foot on the rope!
A collective gasp goes up from the crowd as Black manages to drape his left boot across the bottom rope causing the count to be broken. Jill rolls over on to her chest, staring in disbelief, as Black is shown rolling out of the ring where he falls to the floor. Gritting her teeth, the reality star shoots a frustrated look at the referee. It's not something he could have helped, ya know, but to Jill, this is another instance of her being denied her rightful due. Jill turns to her other opponent, sizing up Dionysus as he is just starting to recover and push himself up to a vertical base. Jill begins pounding the mat signaling for the Hot Girl Summer, Dionysus starts getting to his knees, then to one knee. Jill doesn't wait for him to full get upright, taking the big man into a double underhook and setting his head between her legs. Dion uses his height and strength advantage, but also in a big gasp of energy expenditure, he stands, flinging Jill out of the pedigree with a back body drop, throwing her to the mat. Jill rolls around holding her back, and when she gets to her feet, he eats a shining wizard from Dionysus that plows right through her. Dion stumbles back into the ropes on spaghetti legs, but he gathers his wits, to run forward into the ropes, hop off with a Lionsault, and come down, crushing the chest of Jill in! There's a pop from the crowd as Dionysus manages to roll into the cover on Jill hooking the nearest leg.
Chris Avery: Round Of Applause to Jill!The referee and the crowd: One...
Two...
Three - Kickout!
The crowd erupts in a big, explosive pop for this match between three up-and-comers and fan favorites. Everyone is showing appreciation for the effort of these competitors, who are all making their case for why they're going to be the future of AW going forward. Dion looks over to the referee, but the referee assures him that Jill kicked out. Dionysus huffs, and takes a few seconds, pushing himself up on his elbows, to recuperate and take in a few deep breaths. Finally, Dion gets to his feet, slowly pulling Jill up. He grips her and slowly pulls her up. Both of them are fatigued, and barely able to keep upright, but Dion picks her up and slowly loads her up onto his shoulders, going for a firemans carry setup for a Death Valley driver. However, before Dion can fire off the spinning Death Valley driver, Black charges in, booting Dion in the gut. Dion drops Jill off his shoulders. Black lifts DION up onto his shoulders and drops him with a Death Valley Driver of his own, but it wasn't spinning, so it is a completely original move. Yes.
Chris Avery: Dion calling for the end... NO! BLACK WITH THE SAVE! BLACK NAILS THE BLACK LIST!Black attempts to go for the pin himself, but Jill shoots in, grabbing him by the back of his head and dumping him by the back of his pants out between the middle and bottom rope. Black rolls to a thumping stop, and looks up with a shocked expression as Jill pins Dionysus.

Billy: What a win! She made the Tag Team Champion tap out!Park continues celebrating as we slowly zoom out. The camera continues to pan back and we're way up in the highest suite in the arena and it's empty. Save for one person. We notice it's Carter Shaw, the Former World Champion.
His hoodie up over his head. He's staring at Jill Park. Seething. Shaking with rage.
We slowly fade to a commercial.
