Clash opens with the typical huge pyro and fans going ape shit as the camera gives us a clear view of everything in the arena! In the middle of the ring, the camera comes to rest on Dandy DiVito standing in the middle facing the hard cam with Richard flanking him. Chris Avery: Welcome to Clash! I guess the World Champion has something to say, so let’s throw it to him to kick off this episode of Monday Night Clash!Billy: UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!Dandy lifts the mic to his mouth and powers through deafening boos. Dandy DiVito: I been hearin’ all fuckin’ week… why’d you attack, CJ? The crowd continues booing Dandy. Dandy DiVito: I guess y’all don’t want to know nothin’, huh? That’s cool. That’s cool. You people are fuckin’ garbage anyway. The crowd begins to chant: FUCK-YOU-DAN-DY! *clap, clap, clap-clap-clap*Dandy DiVito: I’m stunned, y’all. Fuckin’ stunned. I can’t believe the hillbillies of the fuckin’ Carolinas are at all interested in fuckin’ somebody who ain’t they own fuckin’ blood!The jeering intensifies. Billy: THAT’S A LOW BLOW ON US SOUTHERNERS!"Break My Baby" suddenly blares on the PA and the crowd’s disposition turns on a dime as they explode in cheers. Billy: HE’S HERE! CJ PHOENIX IS HERE TO SHUT DANDY’S BIG DAMN MOUTH!CJ walks out onto the stage with a microphone in hand, his United States Title around his waist, and a fire in his eyes. Dandy’s voice drips with sarcasm. Dandy DiVito: Oh great… CJ’s here…CJ Phoenix: Cut the shit, Dandy! What the hell has gotten into you? You ignore my existence for the better part of a year, and then suddenly, you can’t keep my name out of your mouth? As CJ speaks, he walks deliberately down the ramp and makes his way toward the ring. Dandy sprouts a shit eating grin as he motions for CJ to get into the ring. Chris Avery: Dandy is too happy about CJ making his way to the ring. This is giving me some bad vibes.Billy: Don’t get any closer, CJ! It’s a trap!As if CJ hears them, CJ stops in his tracks and continues needling Dandy from a distance. CJ Phoenix: I’m not stepping into that ring with you, Dandy. Not now. Not on your terms!Dandy shrugs as he laughs. Dandy DiVito: You at least a li’l smarter than you look, CJ. Congrats on that.CJ Phoenix: Lay your cards on the table, Dandy. What’s your damn problem? What’s it gonna take to get you…Billy: LOOK OUT, CJ!The same attacker from the Valentine’s Day show charges down the ramp and levels CJ with a stiff forearm across the back that drives CJ forward into the ramp. Dandy couldn’t be happier about it. Billy: THAT DAMN SNAKE! HE LURED CJ INTO A TRAP WHETHER CJ GOT IN THE RING OR NOT! WHAT A SON OF A BITCH! Dandy DiVito: CJ, I know y’all already met, but I wanna introduce you to a buddy of mine… Ronan the Cleaner. He’s gon’ be here to help me, you know, solve my pro’lems an’ clean up the messes. Dandy and Richard watch as Ronan deadlifts CJ from the ground into a gutwrench position and casually – almost effortlessly – tosses CJ backward over his head, crashing into the ramp once again. Chris Avery: My god! Every impact CJ makes with that steel ramp has just got to take months off of his career! Dandy drops the mic as the audience continues to offer them nothing but nuclear heat. Dandy and Richard each step out of the ring and head up the ramp toward Ronan and the downed CJ Phoenix. Dandy slaps Ronan on the shoulder and instructs his heater to pick CJ up again. Dandy DiVito: Powerbomb, big guy. Billy: ON THE RAMP?! DAMN YOU, DANDY!Ronan lifts CJ into powerbomb position and Dandy and Richard each take a side and help Ronan drive CJ into the steel of the ramp. Billy: GET SECURITY OUT HERE! THIS IS TOO MUCH! DON’T LET THESE RABID DOGS KEEP DOING THIS PASTERNAK! GODDAMN IT!Security charges down the ramp to put an end to the assault. As Empire Business backs off, Dandy is laughing and enjoying the damage done as CJ is laid out on the ramp. Clash fades to commercial with a shot of Dandy’s evil looking toothy grin.

Daemon Live via Satelite
Chris Avery: Coming back from break, we are getting word that the scheduled pre-fight weigh-in between Conor McGregor and Max Daemon, which was scheduled to happen tonight, will not be taking place. Representatives from McGregor's team informed us that McGregor has refused to show up as originally planned.Billy: I sure do love it when people from outside sports or federations come to AW and act like their shit don't stink! I don't care where you come from, it's like, you're walking into our house, be respectful!Chris Avery: Regardless, we are now hearing from Max Daemon that, if McGregor refuses to come to the arena to weigh in, he won't be coming, either. We go live... via satellite, to Daemon right now.The "Live Via Satellite" seen in the top left corner, once again tells the story as Daemon sits, taking off his sunglasses. Max Daemon: You know, I'm gettin' tired of this blatant disrespect. The "Notorious" McGregor is too afraid to come to AW and step face-ta'-face with the Knockout Artist himself. That's gravy. It was fine... the first week.Daemon shakes his head. Max Daemon: Then we come to this week, and Connie ain't here, either. It's startin' ta' become familiar. This is what's real... McGregor sees disaster if he comes near me. Well, the clock is tickin' down to doomsday. Next Saturday night, he's gonna find himself locked in the cage with me. He ain't gonna be able ta' run anymore. But I'm layin' it down right now, Conor better show up next week, ta' meet me face-to-face in that ring. It's alright for him ta' be scared... but he has ta' know the truth. That whether it's next week, or it's at Battleground... Conor McGregor is getting... knocked... out... cold.Chris Avery: Max, can you tell us -But Daemon has already signaled to the camera for them to cut the feed.

Sam Kidsgrove vs. Cassidy Adler
We come back from whatever the hell just happened and Sam Kidsgrove is already in the ring, Zooey, looking resplendent in her cotton sunflower dress sits on the turnbuckle as he stands in the middle of the ring, looking at the camera. Sam Kidsgrove: What’s up Charlotte!?The crowd pops, everyone loves the name of their city shouted out for some bizarre reason. Sam Kidsgrove: Here we are, day 15. And what does that bring us? I want to say it’ll bring us another challenge from a worthy competitor, I want to say it’ll bring us something that’ll test us to the limits, take us as far as we can go. But no, what we get is Cassidy Adler. A man so heinous and vacuous that he must have come from one of those reality TV shows like Big Brother or the Challenge. Now when I was told I am not good enough for my salary, I didn’t realise that I would be going as low as this. But it is what it is right? I gotta face him tonight, I gotta team with him at BattleBowl.The crowd boos, Kidsgrove isn’t happy with the team-up and neither are they. Sam Kidsgrove: As my dear ol’ departed mum used to say when I threw my greens off the plate. “Samuel Kidsgrove, no one cares if you don’t like something or not. Either eat it or defeat it.” It made no sense as a phrase, she told me she just made it up on the spot and I seemed to like it or something, but either way - it resonated with me.Hollywood teaches you to be liked - to be liked is the be all and end all of the industry, if you aren’t liked then you’re dead in that town. If people don’t care about you then you may as well leave. It teaches you that you should always eat it. Eat the praise, eat the criticism, eat the emotions and energy that is hurled your way by a thousand and one different people on any project. Take everything with a smile and just…Eat it.Over the past few years that’s how I’ve been living my life. To become the hero I thought you guys needed I just ate it all. The positive, the negative, the snarky comments from the guys in the locker room and the fans, the mistreatment by management, I ate it all with a smile, I was professional and thought to myself if I do what everyone wants then I’m going to get ahead right?How naive of me. You all see the issue with that already, absolutely no one in the world has ever succeeded by just doing what other people expected of them. No one. They have all taken their success by being proactive, by doing something about it. By going to their boss and giving ideas or pitching things, or making sure that they are smarter, harder and better than their competition.I missed out the fundamental part of the ethos my mother was trying to instil into me. When she said eat it. Or defeat it. Regardless of her saying she made it up, I know what she was really meaning. She meant that we’re all going to have parts in our life that we don’t like, times in our career that we’re gonna have to either sit back and smile when shit’s bad. For example while some executive tries to destroy your dreams by serving up hot garbage as your tag team partner, or defeat it.I’m going to defeat it. I’m going to show the world that I, like many of you in this arena tonight and millions of people watching at home, am not going to stand for being served shit on a plate. I’m going to beat Cassidy tonight, go on to BattleBowl and win that, regardless of whether Cassidy is in the corner or in a Hospital bed.So on day 15, Cassidy, get your ass out here and let’s make history. You’re next.As Kidsgrove retreats to a corner to await Cassidy Adler’s entrance, Adeline steps into the ring for introductions. Adilene Floyd: The following is scheduled for ONE FALL, introducing first... weighing in at 210 lbs, being accompanied by Zooey... SAM KIDSGROVE!Kidsgrove waves to the fans as they cheer for him. Chris Avery: Sam Kidsgrove has undergone a dramatic metamorphosis in the last few weeks. He has eschewed his fancy entrance, his glitzy attire and his flashy showmanship, to state that he is starting over from day one here.Billy: It... is still somethin’ I’m gettin’ used to, Chris. Adilene Floyd: And his opponent…You hear the sick intro to “U Mad” by Vic Mensa start to play, and you’re immediately mesmerized by the display of flashing lights and the titantron presenting to you Action Wrestling’s Show Stealer. “Ooo I don’t need y’all either.“Ooo don’t wanna talk about it.“Ooo like I don’t, like I don’t know nobody.“Like I don’t know nobody.“I guess I don’t!”“Oh you mad, huh?‘Oh you mad, huh?‘Oh oh you mad, huh?”You spot the smug look of the Show Stealer, Cassidy Adler, as he struts onto the ramp and begins to make his way down to the ring, Cassidy his baggy shorts and beaming a pearly-toothed smile at you, causing you to immediately feel the need to get his number and find out when he’s next available. Unfortunately for you, this is the Adler show and he’s here to slap a hoe, not find his next sexploit. Cassidy brushes his blonde hair out of his eyes, slicking it back and blowing a kiss at the camera, followed by a wink as his music fades out. You can feel your heart racing from his mere presence in the ring as the 6’1, 183 pound specimen seems to have not only stolen the show, but everyone’s hearts. Even Adilene Floyd is swooning. Adilene Floyd: N… n- now in the ring, from Rye, New York… the “Show Stealer” C-Cassidy Adler!Don’t worry, Adilene. Cassidy forgives you. He’s used to it. Billy: I thought she was supposed to be cuffed to Spencer Adams! Boo'ed up! The ship that wouldn't sink!Chris Avery: Cassidy Adler has his charms, I suppose.Slowly, Kidsgrove and Cass begin to shuffle towards one another with slow, scuffing footsteps that rub across the canvas floor. Eventually, they softly butt heads and begin to push against one another, more and more force building by the second. They mouth choice words and profanities to one another, egging the other to throw the first punch. Eventually Kidsgrove thrusts his head forwards enough to throw Cass away from him, to which Adler responses with a sharp bitch slap right to the face of Kidsgrove. The crowd gasps at this disrespectful strike as Kidsgrove quickly looks back at Cass with a snarl. Chris Avery: Adler starting things off at a ten with Who Is You?!The boos of the fans change to cheers as Kidsgrove suddenly delivers a stern and vicious right hand that almost takes Cass’s head clean off his shoulders. Chris Avery: How much aggression has been pent up in Kidsgrove to deliver a punch as brutal as that?Cassidy stumbles to one side, taken aback by the sudden strike to the side of the head. He glares at Kidsgrove before throwing a punch of his own, only for it to be blocked by the A-Lister. Cass looks momentarily stunned as Kidsgrove hits another right hand, but Cass immediately rakes back at Kidsgrove’s eyes. The crowd boo's lightly at the cheap shot that started things off. The referee warns Cass that he will not tolerate this sort of thing during this match, but Cass blatantly ignores him as he goes right back after Kidsgrove. Cass socks Kidsgrove with another right hand, before driving the back of Kidsgrove’s head into the canvas with an inverted DDT. Cass is back on his feet and almost immediately goes for an elbow drop, but Kidsgrove rolls out of the way. Kidsgrove gets back up onto his feet within milliseconds of Cass’s elbow bouncing off the canvas and delivers a sharp kick to Cass’s chest as he reaches a kneeling position. Cass winces, winded from the thrust of Kidsgrove’s foot. He goes for a second, but this time Cass catches his foot and twists it sharply, throwing Kidsgrove off his feet. Cass clambers to his feet, trying for an ankle lock. Kidsgrove is able to grab a hold of the nearest rope, yet Cass hauls Kidsgrove back into the center of the ring before the referee can force Cass to break the hold. Not yielding to Cass’s early submission hold, Kidsgrove twists around, sending Cass flying into the ropes with a helpful shove from his free boot. Chris Avery: These two are going back and forth in what has been a fast-paced start to this match.Billy: Well if I was Kidsgrove I wouldn't want to hit the NOS on that hot rod too soon, if he goes all out against a calculating adversary like Cass too early he'll run out of power.Cassidy Adler rolls over and, counter to Ace's prophetic words, Cass throws a cheap right hand at the advancing Kidsgrove, which Kidsgrove blocks... and scores with a right of his own! Cass strikes back, and an early slugfest breaks out, until Kidsgrove tags Cass with three unanswered rights, backing Cassidy into the corner. Kidsgrove then grabs the head, and runs Cass into the adjacent corner... smashing him face first into the turnbuckle! With Cass lying against the corner, Kidsgrove fights back, pushing Cass a little bit more towards center ring before slapping on a headlock. Kidsgroves makes sure to lock on tight, Adler backpedalling into the ropes and looking to whip Kidsgrove off of him…but Kidsgrove slides on a knee to stop the momentum and keeps the vise grip headlock on tight. Kidsgrove keeps his weight on Adler as he wrenches even tighter; Cass is forced to bear the weight of both himself and the Hollywood Elite. Adler though is apparently up for it, now opting to lift Kidsgrove up and nail a flawless back suplex…but still, somehow Kidsgrove hangs on! He shifts his hips and keeps Cass’s head and neck trapped, Cass now being forced to bear all that weight and get back to his feet, he does get back to a vertical base, Kidsgrove still keeping the headlock on. Adler tries overpowering Kidsgrove and going for another back suplex…but Kidsgrove stops it in mid-air this time and rolls the two of them forward, Kidsgrove now on top of Adler with a grounded side headlock! Cass pounds the mat in abject frustation. Chris Avery: I'm astounded, Adler is used to sneaking through matches with dirty tricks. But I don't think he accounted for the sheer tenacity he's seeing right now.Billy: He needs to figure a way to maintain some separation, that's for sure.Cass tries pushing himself up on his elbows, trying to push to a kneeling or standing position, but Kidsgrove isn't having it. Cass grips the hands holding the headlock in place and pulls them apart enough for him to get enough room to breath, and then Cass begins to transition out of the side headlock, getting to his knees and then to one knee, wringing the arms in a top wristlock for Kidsgrove. But then, Cass completes this by dashing Kidsgrove face first to the mat. Cass gets back to his feet, and he goes to lift Kidsgrove up, but Kidsgrove throws him with a deep arm drag that makes Cass sit up in the corner, looking dazed. Kidsgrove gets to one knee, mocking Cass and telling him to bring it. Billy: You are in control, you don't have to play his games! He's just being childish!!Chris Avery: Ugh, shut up.Cass tries to move himself away from the ropes and instead settles himself in one of the turnbuckles. As he turns, he is met with a full powered splash from Kidsgrove, who had charged all the way from the opposite corner at full speed. Cass stumbles forwards a little, Kidsgrove leads him towards the center of the ring before delivering a leg drop bulldog to Cass. Kidsgrove goes for a swift cover… One... Two... Kickout! As the pinfall breaks up, Kidsgrove rolls to one side. Adler starts gripping at his neck, and cringing like he just got thrown out of a windshield in a car accident. Kidsgrove, not falling for it, starts moving towards Cassidy to go pick him up, but the referee intervenes, saying well hold on a darn second, and he goes to minister to Adler, who is groaning in pain and pointing at his neck. This goes on for several seconds, and Kidsgrove can see from Adler's sneaky looks over the referee's shoulder that he's faking it. Kidsgrove yells that enough is enough, and tries to shove the referee away. The referee yells at Kidsgrove, telling him not to put his hands on him. Kidsgrove tells the referee he's being played, and Adler is fine. The referee is trying to explain his duty to look after the health of his peers, and that's when Adler, who is fine, rolls Kidsgrove up from behind. The referee has one brief second of "Hey, you said you was injured!" before he reasserts himself and drops down for the count. Chris Avery: Adler using shady tactics to feign injury and take advantage, call that ADLER'D!!One... Two... Kickout Adler, cursing to himself, pulls Kidsgrove over and begins dropping a knee across his throat, using the ropes to fling himself up in the air. Then, he drops down, and begins performing a dirty choke with his hand around Kidsgrove's windpipe, and Kidsgrove kicks his legs and tries to push the hand off. The referee, getting annoyed by the antics, starts counting Adler out for a disqualification, and he gets to a count of three. Alder lifts his hands in the air innocently, breaking the hold... then he grabs Kidsgrove, pulling him up to sit him throat first on the middle rope... and Cass grabs the top rope with both hands, and begins violently choking Kidsgrove on the rope with his knee in Kids' back! Zooey yells "Come on, stop this!" to the refree, who gets super pissed at Adler, telling him to stop the illegal shenanigans. Cass soothingly says "Okay okay daddy, whatever you say" and pats the man's chest to calm him down... then he slides out of the ring under the bottom rope, flexing on Zooey with a caustic look, and grabs Kidsgrove's head, pulling down and choking him on the middle rope from this side. The referee, waving his arms and shouting at Cass, starting counting to disqualification again. One, two, three, four... four and a half is when Adler breaks, and he walks off a few paces. The crowd is booing loudly, and Adler does an obnoxious dab on them. Chris Avery: Man, like..... fuck this kid, am I right?Billy: HE'S AN ACQUIRED TASTE!Adler goes back into the ring, slapping Kidsgrove over the back of the head. Cass reaches down picking Kidsgrove up by the head before delivering another solid right hand before shooting Kidsgrove towards a set of buckles. Cass charges in after Kidsgrove. However, Kidsgrove side steps Cass at the last possible second, which sends Adler sternum first off the buckles, Kidsgrove quickly latches on to a back waist lock before hurling Adler backwards with a release German suplex. Kidsgrove works his way to his feet where he shakes off the damage done by Cass. Kidsgrove comes forward picking Cass up off the mat before sending Cass across the ring and into a set of buckles. Kidsgrove charges across the ring where he delivers a running knee to the jaw of Cass before driving Cass face first into the canvas with a running bulldog headlock! Kidsgrove covers! Chris Avery: Kidsgrove is determined to put an end to his losing streak! He's building himself up off the bottom!Billy: Now when you say bottom, I'm picturing that Zooey -Chris Avery: I don't wanna think about that mental image!!One... Two... Kickout. Kidsgrove looks up as the referee tells him that Adler kicked out. He shakes his head in disappointment. However, when he goes to reach down, Cass pulls him over and sinks in a high angle Fujiwara armbar. Kidsgrove shrieks in pain as Cass puts his weight onto the point of the shoulder and side of the ribs. After several agonizing seconds in the hold, and Cass leaning back to apply yet more pressure, Kidsgrove begins using his free elbow, to ram in across the gulf to nail Cass in the back of the head. The strategy works, Cass releases the arm, but then Cass clubs Kidsgrove across the back of the head. He snarls angrily, going to lift Kidsgrove up from behind and going for a backstabber, but Kidsgrove flings another elbow, making him back off. Kidsgrove rests by the ropes, shaking his arm out, fighting through the pain. Cass keeps coming after him like a shark, honing in now that he sees a possible weakness to exploit. He walks over to the ropes, attempting to pull Kidsgrove by his bad arm. Kidsgrove breaks the arm grip and pulls Cass down into a jawbreaker, seamlessly transitioning through into a monkey flip that puts his lower body in between the middle and second rope. Cass spins around, but Kidsgrove is a pinch too fast and catches him with a dropkick to the face, sending him down to the floor. Chris Avery: The action is spilling outside!Cass jumps to his feet, but again he's a bit too slow on the draw and Kidsgrove is able to get the jump by leaping over the top rope and landing a somersault plancha. Cass drops to his back while Kidsgrove leaps up on the barricade, backflips over, and lands a dropkick to the sternum of Adler. Kidsgrove leans down and picks Cass up before giving him a shove back into the barricade. He winds up and gives a stinging knife edge chop. The crowd gives a sympathetic "WOOOOOOOO" as the chop resounds like a gunshot. The referee is practically begging both men to get back in the ring. Cass violently pushes Kidsgrove away, but the Hollywood Elite is too determined to let his opponent get away and charges in with a third chop. Adler, gasping in pain, stumbles over to the apron, and his hands desperately grab on for purchase on the apron curtain, before he grabs the leg of the referee and holds on for dear life. Chris Avery: Adler is trying to hold on to the referee to keep from being pummeled! The referee is shouting at Adler to let go!Billy: This is a legitimate tactic, haven't you ever been in a fight in the schoolyard before? If a bully keeps trying to hit you, you just shriek 'I'm a hemophiliac!' until he recoils away.Chris Avery: That's..... not quite the same thing, and also, I am concerned about you.Billy: ...Why?The referee pulls his leg free of Adler's grasp, and turns away, in the same second that Kidsgrove comes up to grab Cass by the back of the head and attempt to throw him in the ring, in the same second that Cass kicks his leg back and up into the groin of Kidsgrove! Kidsgrove groans, and goes down to his knees, clutching his jewels. The referee straightens up, eyeing Adler, and asking "what the heck was that" but Adler pleads innocence. Cass throws Kidsgrove in the ring. Kidsgrove is coughing, crawling around on his knees and holding his groin from the impact. Adler comes through with a cradle pin. Chris Avery: I think Adler just asked "U Mad Bruh"??The referee, suspicious but having to do his job, drops down for a cover. One... Two... Three - Kickout! Adler shoots a look at the referee and starts berating him in an arrogant fashion, asking him if he knows who Adler is. Adler turns back to Kidsgrove, looking annoyed, and kicks him in the side of the head with the toe of his Jordan's. He bounces around, getting hyped, and starts to pull Kidsgrove up. He clubs Kidsgrove over the back several times, and then Kidsgrove fights back by flinging an elbow into his midsection. Kidsgrove starts getting to his feet as he lays a few rights and elbows into the face of Cass, but Cass cuts him off by viciously raking the eyes. Kidsgrove turns away, scrubbing at his eyes, and Cass cups his chin from behind and takes him down with a Backstabber! Chris Avery: RADLER connects!!Rather than go for the cover, Cass turns to the crowd, performing a moonwalk before dabbing on them and taking a bow. The crowd boos loudly at his arrogant display, because fuck this guy, right. Adler laughs and soaks in their disgust, before turning back to Kidsgrove. Cass pulls Kidsgrove up, and whips him into the corner, then he comes in looking for a corner splash, but Kidsgrove moves at the very last second. Cass staggers backwards, and Kidsgrove quickly rolls him up from behind with a schoolboy. Chris Avery: Every time, Kidsgrove shows a flurry of hope after having to fight back against the rampant shit-housery of Cassidy Adler.Billy: No way - what tha hell??One... Two... Three - Kickout! Kidsgrove, getting fired up, stands up and holds his arms up, yelling to the crowd. This is not the cocky, egotistical Kidsgrove we know, this is a man driven by fire and passion to rebuild himself. Kidsgrove boots Cass in the gut and drops down with a wicked looking DDT that leaves Cass nearly vertically driven into the mat. Cass flops over. Kidsgrove takes a moment to begin stomping Cass, and stomps every exposed part of Cass’s body as he circles him. Then, he irish whips Cass into the corner. Cass lays limply in the corner, and Kidsrove comes in, grabs him by the hair, walks him back out into the middle of the ring and runs Cass forward, charging him in and THROWING Cass through the middle and top rope so that Cass connects, shoulder first, with the steel ringpost! Chris Avery: I've never seen Kidsgrove do the Stunt Double that way!Billy: He's really showing something!!Kidsgrove pulls Cass out of the ropes, and pins him. One... Two... Three - Cassidy gets his foot on the ropes! Kidsgrove's head sags, and he breathes heavily, exhausted. He looks over at Zooey, his distraught expression asking what else he has to do. Adler is groaning and gripping at his shoulder blade, but this time his injury is for real. Neither man moves for the next few moments, before Kidsgrove starts to stir and get up to his feet. Grimacing, Kidsgrove pulls Adler up, and takes him in the corner. Kidsgrove pushes Cass up and muscles him in position to sit him on the top rope, then slowly, inexorably he begins to climb, but slowly given the grueling pace of the match. Finally, Kidsgrove is on the top rope, preparing to set Cass for a superplex. The crowd is buzzing as slowly both men are put in position, and finally, Kidsgrove lifts Cass up in the air. The lighter man's feet dangle high in the air, as Kidsgrove is lifting him for a stalling superplex! However, Cassidy's feet begin to kick and move, and as the descent of the superplex begins, Adler shifts in midair... In midair, Adler comes down across Kidsgrove's chest, and both men fall to the mat, with Cassidy Adler landing on top of Kidsgrove in a semi-botched reversal of the superplex! Both men were taken down! Chris Avery: NO!Billy: Good GAWD AWMIGHTY, THAT LOOKED NASTY!Chris Avery: Adler tried to escape the superplex, and he spilled both of them to the mat! It looked like their heads clonked together!The crowd is in awe and shock, and as several seconds pass by and neither man moves, the referee starts leaning in to check if both men were knocked out. He begins to think that maybe he should count them out. Or end the match, and call for medical attention, when suddenly, Adler's arms begin to move. And Kidsgrove, grimacing, begins to stir. Billy: Holy shit! This is intense!Chris Avery: Sam Kidsgrove has been on a super intense journey since announcing that his contract might be done in 2023!Kidsgrove is up and Adler just charges at him with all his might and goes for a clothesline but Kidsgrove ducks.. The two hit opposite ropes and come back together in the middle of the ring with a YUGEEEE Kidsgrove BOX OFFICE SMASH!! Adler backflips/twists into the air and crashes down! Kidsgrove lands right next to him and leans on him! ONE! TWO!! THREE!! DING DING DING Billy: What a win!! What a finish!! WHAT A MATCH!!The crowd pops as Kidsgrove sits back up holding his arms, neck, shoulders.. Chris Avery: MY GOD!! KIDSGROVE IS A BIG TIME WINNER HERE!Billy: Kidsgrove hit an almost super-like Box Office Smash there at the end!Kidsgrove rolls out of the ring and drops to his knees near the bottom of the ramp but the official slides out and holds up his arm. Kidsgrove is the winner. We slowly fade to a CBS Commercial break.

He is Jonny Cedrone.The scene cuts to the back as the fans go apeshit at the sight of the King of Sexy and his beautiful wife Gloria standing on either side of Jade Riley Jade Riley: Jonny, always good to be able to talk with you!Jonny Cedrone: Always good to be able to talk with you too Miss Riley!Jade Riley: The last time we saw you in a match, you were able to defeat Zolton in only the second-ever Casket Match. How did that make you feel?Jonny Cedrone: It made me feel really good, Miss Riley! I know right now I’m batting .500 with him in Action Wrestling. He got me in our first match. I got him in our second match. But a moral victory was won when I was able to keep him from winning at Revolution 5!A huge pop from the fans Jade Riley: We saw you earlier tonight taking out Ash Blake, the Hardcore Champion on CruiserClash! Jonny Cedrone just smiles but doesn’t have a comment. Jade takes a long awkward look down but pushes on.. Jade Riley: … And tonight you tag up with Claire Hawins to take on Serenity Holmes and Jessie Lee.A pretty big pop from the fans Jade Riley: If your team wins tonight the two of you are guaranteed spots in the BattleBowl battle royal. The winner of THAT battle royal gets the guaranteed last spot in the Havoc Rumble where the winner of that match will go onto Evolution 5 to take on the Action Wrestling World Champion for the Championship. How do you feel about the odds for your team with Claire Hawkins?Jonny Cedrone: Well I gotta tell ya Miss Riley, I do believe that this is my first time wrestling in Charlotte…A huge cheap pop from the fans Jonny Cedrone: So I know that my ass better not flub this one up! This is my first time meeting Claire Hawkins, Serenity Holmes and Jessie Lee but from everything that I’ve read, that I’ve heard and that I’ve seen, we’re all sure as hell gonna burn the house down tonight for this wild crowd!!Another huge cheap pop from the fans Jonny Cedrone: All four of us know what’s at stake here. We all know that we have to get along with our partners or our opportunity’s shot before it even gets going. It’s all pretty interesting actually. There are four individuals involved here with each individual having their own agenda at the end of it all: to get to Chaos Rumble then going on to Evolution 5 and fighting for the World Championship! All four of us have what it takes to make it to the end. All four of us have what it takes to hold that very prestigious Championship when it’s all said and done. We just have to get through tonight. When I say this, I’m not gonna take anything away from Miss Holmes or Miss Lee because I feel that they are both very good wrestlers, fantastic athletes and deserve the utmost respect, but with Miss Hawkins and myself, we’re two former World Champions and she’s the current CBS Champion. I think the odds are in our favor. Again, nothing against Miss Holmes or Miss Lee!A pop from the audience Jade Riley: Do you think that you and Claire Hawkins will be able to get along tonight?Jonny looks confused Jonny Cedrone: Yeah, I think so. I mean like I said, we both have it in our minds that we’re going to make it all the way to Evolution 5 to fight for the World Championship. In order to get there, we have to make it through tonight. If we can’t make it through tonight, whether it’s our first time seeing one another or if it’s our millionth, then we’re gonna shoot ourselves in the foot before we’re even able to get going.Why would you ask that question, if you don’t mind my asking Miss Riley?Jade Riley: Well, she is holding the CBS Championship. I just know that you have it in your mind to win Gold here in Action Wrestling to prove your worth. The CBS Championship can be regarded as the first step towards the World Championship if your match doesn’t go as planned here tonight.Jonny Cedrone: Well, honestly that thought never even crossed my mind Miss Riley. I mean I guess you’re right. It can definitely be considered the first rung in that ladder of success here in Action Wrestling, but right now – and I’m pretty sure I can speak for my partner when I say this – we’re focused on going to the top, becoming the World Champion and tonight is the first step in that journey. Once we win it tonight and if she wants to have some friendly competition, I wouldn’t mind talking about it. Or if by any chance Miss Holmes and Miss Lee are able to upset us, then I may be interested in going a different path and maybe Miss Hawkins will be moved to the top of my list.But right now we’re on a mission to win tonight. We can only focus on one step at a time, take things one day at a time.Jonny looks into the camera Jonny Cedrone: Ladies, I look forward to stepping in the ring with every one of you and look forward to putting on the greatest match on the show! I wish Miss Lee and Miss Holmes all the luck in the world and to Miss Hawkins…let’s win this thing!!The fans pop as the scene fades to commercials

Grind.. In the .. House
We cut to the GRINDHOUSE Luxury Suite where Harvey Marx is waiting with a mic in hand. Holden is standing next to the showman who is grinning like a shark. Harvey Marx: That’s right! Don’t adjust that dial, you are seeing the one and only, Harvey Marx, and I am here with GRINDHOUSE member, Holden Ross, ahead of the Main Event. Tonight, Holden and Joey will be patrolling the ringside area, ensuring no shenanigans occur. Holden, can we be assured that you will call things down the line and not target Vanguard?Holden smirks and strokes his beard before looking back over his shoulder. Holden Ross: (over his shoulder) Did you hear him?From off camera Joey can be heard answering. Joey Scala: Naw…Holden Ross: Are we gonna be able to call things “down the middle?” Is that a serious question? Those two chumps got nothin to worry about. We are the Tag Team Champions. We will bring prestige and class back to the belts. Those belts deserve to be defended on the regular; not just when They decide they got the time to step away from chasing singles titles. Like Gerry said, We are the Sword that cracks Vanguard’s shield.Joey suddenly appears next to Holden. Joey Scala: We are the Tag Team Champions. We are the real deal. GRINDHOUSE is going to change the face of this company. With Gerry guiding us, the three of us are going to reshape this company into something even bigger. Something better. Action Wrestling will never be the same. And Phoenix, remember that beating we gave ya? More of the same is comin your way, bitch, and Gerry will be taking that United States Championship and classing that bitch up some.Holden Ross: The clock is ticking. The inevitable is bearin down on ya like a freight train. We are the Champions. You’re just a placeholder. It’s time those belts got the respect, and shine, they deserve.Harvey has had his million dollar, car salesman smile in place this whole time and shifts his attention back to the camera. Harvey Marx: There you have it ladies and gents. Stay tuned for that packed main event featuring Gerard Angelo as a special referee and GRINDHOUSE as special ringside enforcers. I know I will be watching!

Proudly, she gazes down into the faceplate before bringing it up to kiss the face of the belt for good luck. She then hands the belt over to the referee before settling back into her corner to await the start of her match. The official is about to ring the bell but James Payne and Cousin Harper slide into the ring and immediately start brawling with Odin!! Billy: WHOA!!

Billy: ODIN IS THE NEW TELEVISION CHAMPION!!Chris Avery: HE JUST DEFEATED TATIANA JOLEE!!Odin stands up as the crowd isn't sure what to think of the finish to the bout as the ref hands him the Television Championship.

Billy: Odin is now a two time Television Champion!Odin quickly turns his attention back to Payne and Harper who slide back into the ring and try to brawl with Odin!! Billy: THE HERITAGE ARE BACK!!Odin falls through the ropes as security members separate the opponents again and this time James Payne goes right to Jolee trying to help her up in the corner.. Cousin Harper stares like a brutal pissed off force of fucking action at Odin.. Odin raises up the Television Championship belt again on the ramp.. Billy: What a wild match! This ... looks far from over!We fade to a commercial.

Ladies and Gentleman, Downfall.
The belt shines and gleams as it is presented, side plates shined to their brightest, proud example of both AW's history and promise of the future. It is in extreme close-up, of someone holding it right into the camera, that we are able to read Action Wrestling Tag Team Champion over it's polished face. Then, from behind it, we hear: Downfall: Go ahead, take a look. I want you to see.Downfall lowers the title, laying it across his lap, as we find him seated backstage, sitting on the steps leading to the fire exit. The red light plays over his bare shoulders, and his hair hangs down in his face. There's no Dionysus for this. Despite the fact that they're billed as Vanguard in the main event, we are just getting Downfall. Perhaps it's because with the upcoming ladder match at Battlegrounds, it's leading to a situation where it will need to be, for that night, partner against partner anyway. Or, perhaps, he wants his words to be taken solely as his, for his own outrage, for his own determination. Perhaps that's why he's sitting by himself, holding that belt up defiantly, telling people to take a look for as long as they want. Downfall: Because I've been noticing a curious trend in AW lately, and it's something I want to get off my chest. This trend of making the main events bigger and crazier every week, by adding in random outside elements while also negating and erasing the accomplishments some of us have been working our ass off for. It's not that I'm against adversity, no. It's not that I feel like I can't perform under pressure - if I believed that, I never would have fought so hard to win my way through the Wrestler of the Year tournament. It's giving to people that barely deserve. Who haven't fought half as hard as I have, who haven't achieved a piece of what I've been working on since Uprising.He laughs bitterly. Downfall: Doesn't take much. Shit, all it took for Dandy Divito to get his chance was his brother going back to Pasternak and crying how unfair it was that he lost a one-on-one match. Meanwhile, I lost the AW World Title in a clusterfuck that involved no less than three tag team partners, referee miscommunications and distractions. And I've only been pinned once since Havoc which leads me to question I am barely breaking six foot tall and cruiserweight limitations under most circumstances, is it really that hard to beat me fairly?He looks off to the side, jaw clenching. Downfall: But that's a digression. And it's going to be taken as "bitching", especially from Dandy Divito. And it's only a part of the trend. What is the main point is how fast, management is trying to move on from me. To shove me back down, almost to punish me for breaking their little plans for Evo's main event by stepping outside of my station. I was never supposed to bottle this lightning. I was never supposed to get to Turmoil, never supposed to succeed January 3rd. And meeting pushback every single step of the way. I didn't even get to raise my fucking title in the air in celebration two weeks in a row before I got bludgeoned and left bloody to close the show out. I went straight from winning the World Title (and being battered down by two spiteful harpies) to standing with Dion and retaining our Tag titles in a match against 80% of the people in this ladder match. We've already beaten them. Several times, in some cases. And our reward?He unfolds his hands, palms up in front of him, in the understood gesture "well, here you go". Downfall: We aren't quite stripped of our Tag titles, but it's close enough, because on a random Network show two Fridays ago, Alexander Pasternak rules that we haven't contractually-mandated defended our titles for thirty days... so he HAS to name new interim Tag Champions. Right? It isn't like the Following went months without title defenses at all, Vanguard not being made to defend their titles is a problem he needs to solve right now! He HAS to give Grindhouse an easy, gimme victory over a pair of village Converse that everyone and their dog has walked through, jump through that hoop and just give them their own set of belts. He did all of this, rather than, oh, I don't know...Pretending to ponder this, he strokes his chin thoughtfully. Downfall: Giving Grindhouse their title shot against us that night? Asking me and Dion to defend our belts? Booking us? That's the logical step, rather than putting the fucking onus on me and Dion and making it seem like it's us that were the problem, like we're skating out on defending our titles when we actually fucking aren't. I would have absolutely no problem walking out there and facing Holden Ross and driving my fist through that gaping cavity between his ears. But, just giving us a chance to defend the Tag belts and skipping the convoluted step of making Interim Tag Champs, who are now, somehow seen as just as valid as us even though they absolutely are not... that wouldn't be on brand. It wouldn't be big and crazy enough, right?He lowers his head, staring, eyes piercing into the camera. Downfall: And I'm aware that venting my heart like this is going to turn public perception. This is the shit that gets you the label I came into AW with; hard to work with, "locker room cancer"; when ya question why the fuck a series of blatant screwjobs is conflated as "adversity". And maybe it is my fault for stepping outside. Maybe I should have never pushed so hard, maybe I should have concentrated on the Tag titles and the Tag Titles only. Maybe I should never have tried so hard to raise the stock of the Tag division to where it was on par with the main event.He blows air through his lips, derisively... but he falls quiet for just a second, and his brow furrows. Downfall: So this Clash, this main event... I get mixed in with all of them. Every one on the list, Dandy and Grindhouse, all of them holding their ill-gotten gold right in my face just to rub it in that they're digging into my skin. Carter, Bacchus, Corey Black, Affluenza... Another big, crazy, unpredictable shitshow for me to be thrust in, and expected to perform exactly as expected.He picks the Tag title belt up from being draped over his legs, looking down into it's faceplate pensively. Downfall: Well, I have not, and never will, met an obstacle I didn't get through. Maybe you could take my word for it, or maybe the entire last year of me proving that I'll get through your fucking challenges, one way or another... doesn't matter what you put in front of me, I'll get through, the first time or the second time around. You can hand Holden Ross and Joey Scala cardboard belts and call them the champions... I'm going to cut through the middleman and put them down. You can lock my chance at redemption against Dandy behind six other competitors, many of whom I had to get through on my way here in WOTY, I will put them down, one by one. You can put Dandy Divito in my face, taunting me as a special guest referee and waving his stolen title in my fucking eye. But guess what.Defiant to the end, Downfall holds the Tag title belt up, next to his face. That's all he needs to say for this call-and-response. Downfall: This is me, holding the REAL Tag Team title belt... just like I'll be holding the real World Championship again, because, being honest, Dandy's fourth reign is just as much a joke as Grindhouse. Nothing you've tried has worked... you cannot erase me. You cannot deny me. And you won't slow me down for long. That's my fucking word.He gets up, standing and taking the Tag title belt with him, as the camera switches back.

Interview With Dandy
Backstage, Jade Riley is standing by for an interview. Jade Riley: With me tonight is one of the referees of tonight’s main event and Action Wrestling World Champion Dandy DiVito.Dandy steps into the shot alone as everyone in the arena boos passionately. Jade Riley: Dandy, given the recent events…Dandy DiVito: I have no idea what you’re talkin’ ‘bout, Jade.Jade Riley: Uhhh…your pattern of assaults on CJ Phoenix.Dandy DiVito: Who’s that?Jade Riley: …Dandy DiVito: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh… the punk kid we gigged?Jade reacts with bewilderment. Jade Riley: He’s the United States Champion and your former…Dandy DiVito: He’s roadkill now, Jade. Jade Riley: *sigh* There’s speculation that as a result of your assault earlier tonight, CJ will not be medically cleared for tonight’s main event. What are your thoughts?Dandy looks Jade in the eye with a serious look for a moment, but ultimately, he just collapses upon himself in laughter. Jade looks unimpressed. Jade Riley: Well, guys, I think that’s all I’m getting back here. CJ Phoenix may not make it to the main event tonight, and Dandy couldn’t be happier about it… Back to you Billy and Chris.Back at ringside, Billy is infuriated, and Chris just shakes his head. Chris Avery: We’re just crossing our fingers and hoping that CJ will be involved tonight.Billy: AND THAT HE CAN MAKE THAT BASTARD DANDY PAY!Clash fades to commercial.

Battlebowl Tournament Jessie Lee & Serenity Holmes vs. Claire Hawkins & Jonny Cedrone
The Spectrum Center of Charlotte, North Carolina is home to another edition of Action Wrestling's Monday Night Clash! The audience is enjoying every second of the action from each match, the drama from the segments, and of course, the top quality entertainment the company provides. Now almost to the end of the broadcast, the transitional display shows the commentary team positioned at their booth ready to call the next match. Chris Avery: Welcome back to another edition of Monday Night Clash! We're now approaching our co-main event of the night which features the last Battlebowl opening round of this show and what a packed one it is!Billy: Hell yeah! Jonny Cedrone will be teaming up with our current CBS Champion, Claire Hawkins against CruiserClash's own, Serenity Holmes, and our current Women's Champion, Jessie Lee!Chris Avery: I can see why this was a great pairing! Four well-deserved talents who each bring something to the table of this match. The story of Jessie Lee and Serenity Holmes being paired plays a part as on Friday Night SLAM, Serenity made herself known to the champion, Jessie Lee!Billy: Let's not forget that Claire Hawkins has the experience in the Battlebowl and she's the current CBS Champion along with Cedrone who came off a massive win in the casket match against Zolton! Each competitor is looking to bring their absolute best and I'm here for it Chris!Chris Avery: Let's turn it over to Adilene Floyd!And as said, the broadcast transitions to Adilene Floyd in the center of the ring ready to begin the introductions. Adilene Floyd: The following contest is the opening round of the 2022 Battlebowl Tournament and it is a tag team match scheduled for one fall!The interior of the Spectrum Center fades to a dark atmosphere until a series of flashing lights bolsters the scenery to the introduction of "Now That We're Dead" by Metallica. The audience positively reacts to Miss Gloria, known wife of Jonny Cedrone, making her position at center stage before signaling behind her for Jonny Cedrone to come out on cue to an even stronger uproar of the Charlotte audience. The two stand together enjoying the praise before walking down the path to the ring interacting with fans behind the barricades. Adilene Floyd: Introducing first! Hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada! At six feet, two inches tall, weighing in at two-hundred and forty pounds, accompanied to the ring by Miss Gloria, he is "King of Sexy" Jonny Cedrone!Jonny escorts his wife up the steel steps before hopping onto the apron to expand the middle and bottom ropes for her to get into the ring. After following her in, he immediately goes to his designated team corner to stand on the middle turnbuckle to receive praise from the audience after acknowledging them at ringside. Once he comes down, he remains in his corner and Miss Gloria stays by his side as his music fades away to the chants of his name around the venue. Chris Avery: Jonny Cedrone has to be looking forward to winning the OG Bishop Memorial Battle Royal especially after putting an end to his crazy rivalry with Zolton! That casket match was one for the ages where both went through hell and brimstone but Jonny Cedrone won in the end!Billy: Ya damn fuckin' right! I thought he was going to bury him alive but Cedrone proved he belongs in Action Wrestling and this opportunity certifies that and hey, he has a damn good partner to help him get into the battle royal!As the world falls; wider grows disaster's maw Desperate the thralls call; thee three crows caw The sound effect of a banshee's scream perplexes the audience with the sudden abruption of the lights shutting off. "Nansha" by Orbit's Culture plays off the introduction with the stage covered in a blanket of smoke dancing to the lights matching the beat of the song. The tempo of the beat accelerates by the lights then silence comes as the words are heard over the silhouette of a shadowed figure: PICK UP THE BONES! A single flash leaves the lights back on and Claire Hawkins is center stage in her primal position releasing a guttural scream that sparks a negative reaction from the audience. She remains in her posture and has the CBS championship belt in her right hand before raising it above for all the world to see. Claire walks down to the ring ready to finally be the one to win the Battlebowl after her last attempts but she makes sure that everyone knows she is a champion walking down to the ring. Adilene Floyd: Introducing his partner! Hailing from Salem, Massachusetts! At five feet, eight inches tall, weighing in at one-hundred and forty-five pounds! She is the Action Wrestling CBS Champion, "The Metal Witch" Claire Hawkins!Claire's on the apron edge and once again, she releases another primal scream that intimidates the cameraman to take a few steps back to her pleasure. The audience at ringside doesn't like her but she doesn't show any sign of affection as she continues to be in the ring holding her CBS Championship belt high above her head perched on the middle rope. Jonny takes no mind to her antics but Claire doesn't pay him any mind as well as her music silences to the deafening boos thrown at her. Billy: Our CBS Champion is here and she's making my god damn ears bleed with her screaming!Chris Avery: The record-holding four-time television champion and now current CBS Champion, Claire Hawkins, is looking to secure the final spot in the Havoc Rumble. She's the longest-tenured talent in Action Wrestling and has been in this spot before so expect her to pull out all the stops tonight ladies and gentlemen!"Synthetic Sympathy" by Trash Boat takes off immediately leading to a series of lights dancing around the interior of the venue. The audience sparks up a great reaction to Serenity Holmes running from the backstage area to the center of the stage enjoying the audience's praise to her. She takes off her hat and throws it into the crowd then walks down to the ring interacting with the fans and going crazy from all the excitement. Adilene Floyd: Introducing their opponent! Hailing from Houston, Texas! At five feet, seven inches tall, weighing in at one-hundred and twenty-seven pounds, she is "22nd Century Girl" Serenity Holmes!Serenity slides under the bottom rope then stand up before running towards an unoccupied corner. She hops onto the middle turnbuckle and poses a peace sign next to her face also sticking her tongue out. Her signature look makes the fans at ringside cheer her on even more. She hops off the turnbuckle and waves her respect to Cedrone but she makes sure that Claire understands there is nothing between them, strictly business. Chris Avery: Her debut has been dubbed a major hype train. The daughter of a multiple-time hall of fame world-renowned wrestler, Andre Holmes. Serenity Holmes made an impressive debut and Action Wrestling awarded her a chance in the Battlebowl what an impact she has already made on our management team Billy!Billy: Enough of that Jim! Let's be honest, she's a fuckin' legacy getting opportunities handed to her because of her last name. She hasn't even had any professional experience outside of Action Wrestling! Let's see how she does against real competition and then talk to me!ONE FINGER AND A FIST, I'll CLAW MY WAY OUT OF ANY SITUATION! I GOT A 1 2 PUNCH I'll FIGHT MY WAY OUT OF ANY CONFRONTATION! "One Finger" by Drowning Pool now changes the atmosphere into a more chaotic scene with the audience going haywire with fist pumps and raging. The lights swirl in a frantic motion but center stage captures the attention as Jessie Lee stands with the Action Wrestling Women's Championship wrapped around her waist. She unbuckles the belt and holds it high in the air for the fans to cheer her on but especially for Serenity to stare at knowing she's gunning for the champion. Adilene Floyd: Introducing her partner! Hailing from Perth, Western Australia! At five feet, ten inches tall, weighing in at one-hundred and fifty pounds! She is the Action Wrestling Women's Champion, "The Aussie Assault" Jessie Lee!Jessie circles the ring interacting with the fans at ringside and all eyes on her, especially from Serenity. In an instant flash, she slides into the ring and stands up before running to the ropes facing the hard camera and tosses her vest towards the fans down below. Afterward, she raises the championship belt high and looks behind her at Serenity who is staring down at her belt but once the music fades, all competitors are now in their corners. Hawkins has decided to be the starting team member to Cedrone's displeasure but Serenity takes the lead after a clear agreement between her and Lee. Billy: Jessie Lee is our inaugural and current Women's champion but she was paired with the one woman gunning for her championship belt. Serenity needs to calm her little ass down and learn from Lee who is the stronger member of their team.Chris Avery: Jessie Lee came off a successful defense from Friday Night SLAM and was met with Serenity declaring herself a contender for her belt. Jessie Lee has already made her mark in history here at Action Wrestling but now all four competitors are ready to begin their journey with this opportunity for the 2022 Havoc Rumble.Billy: Well, enough of this bullshit, start the fucking match!Ding! Ding! Ding! Serenity's excitement and determination are skyrocketing from the support of the audience but Claire's main focus is winning this tag team bout by any means necessary. The two opposing competitors meet in the center for the collar and elbow tie-up but Claire quickly takes the arm into her grasp and applies an old-school Wing Lock before flipping her over down into an Arm Lock held on the canvas. The crowd boos her and Jessie is trying to support her partner who seems to be in a bad situation already. Chris Avery: We have to remember that Claire Hawkins is a seasoned veteran against Serenity Holmes who is in her second match. Unlike Dark Kent, this woman has been a champion multiple times and even a current champion now, Serenity is in an entirely different ballgame.Serenity tries to get back up onto her right knee until she's taken over onto the canvas from a snap Side Headlock Takedown. Claire squeezes down on the head and Serenity's trying her best to come up with an escape which she does after a transition into the Scissors Coke but Claire immediately flips her body weight forward onto Serenity for a quick pin attempt! One! She kicks out and stands on her knees but Claire leans against the ropes egging her on. Serenity looks behind her to Jessie who is telling her to remain calm. Once again, both competitors are circling the ring again until they lock up but Serenity quickly shoots behind Hawkins for a roll-up pin attempt! One! Claire kicks out and gets up immediately feeling disrespected from the pin attempt. She lands a brutal kick into the ribs that leave Serenity hunches over then she gets thrown into the ropes but upon the return, Serenity leaps off the mat for a quick Hurricanrana that plants down her opponent on the canvas and leaves her in her team's corner surprised. Billy: Woo! Holy shit! Claire Hawkins has was not expecting this! Don't underestimate the daughter of that wicked termite Andre Holmes!Serenity motions for Claire to come at her until she slaps the chest of Jonny to make the official tag. He gets into the ring and so does Jessie after Serenity tags her in. Both competitors are now in the center where they start to exchange blows. Jonny lands a vicious kick to the ribs that bend her forward until attempting a Suplex where Jessie lands on her feet, runs to the ropes, and returns with a Big Boot knocking him down! Chris Avery: Our women's champion has taken it to Jonny Cedrone! What a vicious Big Boot that nearly took his entire head off!Jessie tags in Serenity again and the two future opponents are in sync to work as a tag team. Jessie helps Cedrone to his feet and tosses him into the ropes; Upon the return, she uses all of her strength to lift him off the canvas for the Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker but leaves him across her knee. Serenity makes the combination by coming off the ropes with a Basement Dropkick that levels him down to the canvas for the pin attempt! Billy: Oooh!Chris Avery: Jessie Lee and Serenity Holmes are working as a unit and landed a beautiful Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker and Basement Dropkick combination on Jonny Cedrone! Here's another pin attempt!One! Two-! Jonny kicks out from the pin and Serenity gets back on her feet is the legal partner of her team. She slowly helps her opponent t up and attempts to launch him into an unoccupied corner but he spins around tossing her instead. Her back slams against the turnbuckles but she escapes to outside of the ropes allowing Jonny to crash chest first into the corner. With one leap onto the top rope, she flies in the air only to be caught into his arms for the Belly-to-Belly Suplex in the middle of the ring! Chris Avery: My God! Jonny Cedrone caught Serenity mid-air for the Belly to Belly Suplex in the center of the ring! Serenity's back must be in hell from the blow and here's the pin attempt!One! Two! She kicks out from the pin but Jonny Cedrone keeps the offense going with multiple strikes down on her head. Serenity covers up from the mounted position until he gets off of her. He easily picks her up and launches her into their team's opposing corner where her back is glued into the turnbuckles. She gets clobbered by a Running Clothesline and Cedrone keeps the momentum going continuing the striking until the referee drives him back. However, Claire lands a vicious Elbow Blow to the back of Serenity's head while the referee was looking and the audience boo's her! Chris Avery: That was uncalled for! Serenity was already taking too much damage from Jonny Cedrone but Claire didn't have to land that elbow! She's enjoying beating the hell out of Serenity!Billy: Oh shut up, Chris! Claire is champion for a reason because she gets shit done! She's teaching Serenity that you gotta do everything and anything possible to get a win in this company, especially concerning the Battlebowl!Jonny immediately has her down on the canvas and reaches down to help her up. She immediately breaks the hold off her and lands a Spinning Back Kick that leaves him down on his right knee. She doesn't waste any opportunity and charges into the ropes then on the return, he picks her off the canvas and lands a Twisting Spinebuster that nearly breaks every bone in her body! The audience gasps in shock and Jessie looks very concerned while Claire laughs at the pin attempt made! Billy: Jesus fuck! The Twisting Spinebuster nearly killed her! We thought she would get the momentum back after the Spinning Back Kick but she may be out of it from that slam!One! Two! Serenity shoots her entire body out of the pin and the audience continues to cheer her on. Jonny switches the offensive measures into a submission basis by now applying a Rear Seated Chinlock with his right knee digging into her bruised back. He pulls back on her chin and she screams out in agony but denies submitting after being asked by the referee. The fans at ringside are banging down on the barricade building support for Serenity to fight back. Chris Avery: Jonny Cedrone adding even more pressure down on Serenity's pin with the submission hold! He's applying all the pressure but Serenity simply won't quit and she's feeling the fans to fight back!Serenity pushes on her feet and then sits down to stun his chin on the top of her head. Cedrone backs away from the blow and Serenity capitalizes by charging into him before being lifted off the mat and coming down with her opponent to land a Tornado DDT spiking him in the center of the ring. The audience jumps out of their seat from the blow but now both competitors are down on the canvas with their respective partners ready to get in on the action! Billy: Woah! This girl has been trained well! A powerful Tornado DDT just sat Cedrone down on his head and both of them are down for the count but Jessie Lee and Claire Hawkins are ready to make the tag!At the count of five, both competitors down on the canvas start crawling to their corners. Serenity stretches out her hand to Jessie who is motivating her to reach and Claire yells at Cedrone to hurry his ass up. The eight-count, Cedrone leaps and slaps Hawkins' hand for the tag and so does Serenity for Lee! Jessie Lee charges Hawkins for a clothesline that knocks her down to the mat and Hawkins stands up again where she turns around into another vicious clothesline! Chris Avery: Jessie Lee is on fire tonight! She's clobbering Claire Hawkins with back-to-back clotheslines and our Women's Champion is bringing the pain with her. She wants this victory just as much as Serenity and she's not holding back at all!Claire finds herself in Jessie Lee's grasp for a powerful Butterfly Suplex that plants her down on the canvas. She rolls from the landing to an unoccupied corner and when she stands up, Jessie sprints towards her for a Leaping Clothesline that causes her to remain seated in the corner long enough to be squashed by an incoming Cannonball Senton! Billy: Jessie Lee is tearing down a house and she's not stopping! Leaping Clothesline and a Cannonball Senton were fuckin' crazy! Here's the pin attempt!One! Two! She kicks out of the pin attempt but Cedrone has come back into the picture by trying to drag Jessie off of his partner. He throws her into the ropes but she hangs onto them before coming back but Cedrone charges into her for Lee to pull down the top rope causing him to flip over to the ringside mat! She turns around and sees Claire doing the same so she launches him over the top rope to crash down onto her partner as well! Chris Avery: Crash and burn on both parts of Claire Hawkins and Jonny Cedrone! Jessie Lee has been in control of the momentum but it seems she's signaling for Serenity Holmes to take flight!Serenity climbs onto the top turnbuckle of her corner. She sees both her opponents, Claire and Jonny, starting to rise on their feet at ringside below. A huge leap forward into the air, she backflips for a picture-perfect Shooting Star Press that crashes them all onto the mats. Charlotte of North Carolina praises Serenity for her daredevil antics as she lays down there in a mess of bodies before throwing Claire under the bottom rope for Jessie to capitalize on! Chris Avery: Shooting Star Press from the top rope down onto Claire Hawkins and Jessie Lee! The entire audience is loving every second of this match but it seems we may have something on the horizon from Jessie Lee as well!Claire has been rolled under the bottom rope and she takes a moment to stand up still feeling the effects of Serenity's Shooting Star Press only to turn around into a powerful Superwoman Punch that knocks her down onto the canvas! Jessie Lee drops down onto her chest and hooks the leg wanting to secure the pin! Billy: SUPERWOMAN PUNCH! THE SIGNATURE PUNCH OF JESSIE LEE! HERE'S THE PIN ATTEMPT!One! Two! Claire kicks out from the pin attempt again and Jessie can't believe it. She didn't hesitate as she dragged Claire back into the position for her finisher but Claire quickly spins out of it and has the right arm twisted before leaping up to deliver the signature Overhead Kick out of nowhere! Jessie collapses down onto the canvas and Hawkins moves her body to get a pin attempt thinking she has this! Chris Avery: TOUCH OF EVIL! THE SIGNATURE WIND-UP OVERHEAD KICK! JESSIE MUST BE OUT COLD FROM THE BLOW AND SHE HAS THE PIN ATTEMPT!One! Two! Jessie kicks her body out as well and now both competitors are down! The audience applauds all four athletes for pushing their bodies but Cedrone sees an opportunity to help Claire by stalking Lee only to see from behind, Serenity leaps off the top rope and comes down with Double Foot Stomp down into the back of his head that knocks him to the mat then out of the ring! Billy: RED BOTTOMS! SERENITY HAVING HER PARTNER'S BACK WITH THE FINISHING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! SHE'S NOT LETTING ANY CHANCES GO TO WASTE!Although Serenity stands up on her feet, she is taken's from behind by Claire in the Reverse DDT position before being twisted down onto face-first on the canvas from the finishing Rolling Cutter in the center of the ring! Chris Avery: METAL MAGIKA ON SERENITY HOLMES! CLAIRE HAWKINS HAS BEEN ITCHING TO PUT THE YOUNG UPSTART OUT OF HER MISERY BUT SERENITY ISN'T THE LEGAL COMPETITOR!Claire stands on her feet mouthing down to the fallen Serenity until turning around into a vicious boot from Lee that leaves her bent forwards. With both arms hooked from above, Jessie lifts her off the mat before spinning around into the Double Underhook Facebuster in the middle of the ring! The audience explodes as she goes crazy for the pin attempt! Cedrone gets up and goes to slide into the ring but ASH BLAKE SMASHES THE HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP INTO HIS BACK!! THE REF NEVER SEES IT!! CEDRONE SLUMPS DOWN TO THE MATS AND ASH IS STOMPING ON HIM!! Billy: LEETHALITY!!! SHITFIRE! ASH BLAKE!!Chris Avery: SHE'S GOT IT! THE LEETHALITY!!! HERE'S THE PIN!One! Two! Three!!! Ding! Ding! Ding! "One Finger and a Fist" by Drowning Pool sounds off in the Spectrum Centre with all fans going haywire from the earned victory. Jessie stands up on her feet and even helps Serenity onto her feet barely; The referee raises both of them ars up together and although they may be future opponents, they have no doubt shaking hands as they respect one another. Ash Blake slaps Cedrone before leaving him on the mats next to the ring… She grabs her Hardcore Championship and the bandage wrapped around her shoulder/head.. She walks away from the ring.. Adilene Floyd: Here are your winners and advancing into the Battlebowl Tournament, Serenity Holmes and Jessie Lee!Jessie Lee receives the womens' championship belt and holds it high in the air to receive the praise. Serenity leans against the ropes to recover but still has the energy to thank the audience for coming out. However, she points to the women's championship belt and Jessie nods as well knowing that they still have a business to attend to. Billy: Damn! What a fucking match! That was one hell of action between all four of them!Chris Avery: You're right Billy but it was Jessie Lee and Serenity Holmes who came out on top! Congratulations to them both as they move forward in the tournament and will be gaining more success down the road!Lee, Holmes leave up the ramp as Ash Blake is half way up the ramp and Cedrone is still laid out next to the ring as Hawkins is all alone in the middle of the ring.. Ash Blake slumps the Championship belt back over her shoulder and walks back through the curtain.. No music, just crowd reacting as Claire Hawkins is slowly sitting up… The crowd starts to boo as Roman Gunn is walking down the ramp as Tobias Hoffman is following him just fucking full of swag.. Billy: WHAT IS ROMAN GUNN DOING?!Roman slides into the ring and kicks the CBS Championship towards Hawkins as she stands up, she picks up the belt and Roman charges at her but Hawkins rolls out of the way and dives under the ropes to get out of the ring! Chris Avery: Whoa!! We heard Roman Gunn was shooting for that CBS Championship and Claire Hawkins.. And he technically was in a #1 contender match earlier tonight!Billy: Roman has his sights set on her.. And lets be real, he isn’t changing his mind any time soon!Hawkins just walks up the ramp still CBS Champion as Roman fixes his hair and nods at her to come fight him. We slowly take a commercial break.

Lissie Wants An Answer!
The scene opens up in a backstage corridor and the fans roar with excitement as Lissie Hope comes into the frame! Jade Riley tries to intercept her but she’s storming down the hallway. Jade Riley: Lissie! Wait up!Lissie Hope: Can’t talk right now, girl.Jade Riley: Just wanted to see if you had anything to say about Mason Jones being announced as your partner, and then getting promptly taken out of commission!Lissie stops in her tracks and looks back at Jade. Lissie Hope: Yeah, I’ll say something. Because this just isn’t fun and games, you know? This is every time. Jade Riley: What do you mean? Lissie Hope: People get attached to me… and they get hurt. People want to hurt me by hurting everyone I depend on - willingly or not. And don’t get me wrong - I don’t like Mason Jones at all. I think he’s a delusional troll who chomps at the bit to say hurtful crap about me whenever he gets a chance. But you know what? I’m used to that. I can take that.Jade Riley: But you still don’t want to see your partner get hurt.Lissie Hope: That’s exactly it, Jade. Look, I’ve had to work together with people I don’t like. Dionysus and I are trying to get on the same page, too. So this isn’t new to me - I can separate whatever dislike I have for Mason Jones, because above all else, I’m here to win.Jade Riley: Do you think he’s going to be good to go next week?Lissie Hope: I don’t know - but that’s what I’m here to find out.The camera spins around to reveal the nameplate that reads “GM Pasternak”. Lissie raises her fist to knock on the door, but shakes her head no and turns the handle instead. Pasternak looks up from his computer with a confused look on his face, but he quickly motions to the chair for Lissie to take a seat. Lissie Hope: C’mon man, what are you trying to pull?GM Pasternak: What are you talking about, Lissie?Lissie Hope: You give me Mason Jones - and he immediately gets his ass handed to him?GM Pasternak: Are you implying I knew that was going to happen?Lissie Hope: Well… no.GM Pasternak: Good - because I wanted to see you. To talk about this, because - and I feel comfortable saying this - but Mason Jones will NOT be your partner next week.Lissie Hope: So what does that mean?GM Pasternak: Lissie… sit.Lissie cautiously approaches, and Pasternak pulls a paper out from under a folder. He spins it across the table from her. GM Pasternak: Pick one.The crowd roars with cheers as a smile spreads across Lissie’s lips. She traces each line, one by one, and it’s apparent it’s a list of some sort. Lissie taps on a name with her fingernail and slides it back to Pasternak. GM Pasternak: Let’s make it happen.The scene fades back to the announce booth. Chris Avery: WHOA! I wonder who Lissie Hope chose??Billy: It could literally be ANYBODY!!
We fade out to a commercial..

Main Event Ashley Schaeffer Motors 8-person Tag 2 Special Refs: Dandy DiVito & Gerard Angelo Enforcers on the outside: Grindhouse Vanguard, Johnny Bacchus, Carter Shaw vs. Affluenza, Corey Black, CJ Phoenix
Billy: Coming up next is our MASSIVE main event!Chris Avery: That’s right Billy! Not only is it massive because of the competitors, but because of the EGOS involved!Billy: It’s going to be combustible that’s for damn sure!Adilene Floyd: Our following contest is the main event sponsored by Ashley Schaeffer Motors! It is an EIGHT PERSON tag team match!The opening drum beats to Dope’s “Debonaire” thump through the arena followed by the driving guitars. After a few seconds of it, Joey Scala emerges from the back followed by Holden Ross, both of them with their newly minted Interim Tag Titles over their shoulders. Adilene Floyd: Introducing first, the special enforcers for the match. They are the Interim Tag Team Champions, Joey Scala, Holden Ross, they are GRINDHOUSE!They both walk down the ramp, Joey yelling that they’re the real tag champs as Holden just mean-mugs the fans. They walk around the ring, holding up their titles as the crowd boos. Billy: Our Interim Tag Champs, Grindhouse!Chris Avery: The champs Vanguard didn’t defend the titles within the thirty-day limit, so General Manager Pasternak thought it would be a good idea to create Interim Champs in the meantime while Vanguard sorts through the World title conundrum that led to this match!Billy: We have two tag champs! It's chaotic and I love it, Chris!The lights go out in the arena and the sound of a synth starts playing. “I CAN’T STOP!” The lights start to flash as “STOP” repeats over and over from different speakers in the arena as the beat starts to build and then it drops. BOOM A small explosion of gold fireworks goes off “I CAN’T STOP!” The lights come back on as Kanye West’s voice serenades the people as they give loud boos (Accompanied by a small smattering of cheers) as Gerard Angelo skips out onto the stage in short shorts and a referee shirt like he’s channeling HBK. Adilene Floyd: Our first special guest official. "The Living Legend", GERRRRRARD ANGELOOOOOOOOO!Gerard saunters down the ramp and slides into the ring. He points over at his boys Grindhouse, saying how good their titles look before he lays himself across the top rope in the corner like a hammock. Billy: Gerard is one of our officials tonight. You gotta wonder if he's going to insert himself here somehow!Chris Avery: You know he’s going to try and stick it to CJ Pheonix anyway he can. He still thinks he was robbed at Revolution!Over the PA, lyrics scream out: NOW IS THE TIME FOR ME TO RISE TO MY FEET WIPE YOUR SPIT FROM MY FACE WIPE THESE TEARS FROM MY EYES Dandy DiVito appears on the stage with his World title slung over his shoulder, and in a referee shirt. He has a grin on his face as the crowd boos as he walks down the ramp. He heads around the ring and stands in front of the announce table, holding his World title up as he stares at Billy. Billy: Yeah, yeah, I get it Dandy! You’re the champ! Now go worry about officiating the goddammed match!Chris Avery: Woah, easy Billy!Dandy laughs and hands his belt to the timekeeper as Chris is trying to keep Billy in his chair. Dandy slides into the ring and poses once more for the booing fans. Billy: Sorry everyone, he just drives me crazy.A guitar swell takes over the P.A. as the words "ALL IT TAKES" flash on the ActionTron until the guitar riff of "Angry Heart" By Otherwise kicks in, accompanied by the large screen filling with a 3D video of Carter Shaw punching through glass as if punching through the screen itself. Green strobe lights electrify the entrance stage as Shaw walks slowly out from the curtain with his head dropped, a hoodie pulled up over it. He stands still at the top of the ramp, the BOOs coming loudly from the crowd, as he slowly lifts his eyes up to meet the crowd, followed by removing the hood from his head. Adilene Floyd: Coming to the ring, from Boston, Massachusetts...weighing in at 235 pounds, CARTEERRR SSHHAAAAAAAW!He slowly turns in a 360, showing the "Brick By Brick" slogan across the front of the hooded sweatshirt. He bursts out from the stage with a momentary gritting of the teeth before letting his facial expression return to the typical calm. His piercing blue eyes look out over the crowd as he walks calmly towards the ring, sliding in under the bottom rope. He walks in a circle along the ropes before hopping up to a middle turnbuckle, staring out aimless as he soaks in the crowd's reaction. He lets his body slowly fall backwards before dropping to his feet. He removes the hoodie, tossing it to ringside. Dandy is glaring daggers at Shaw while Carter gives him a smirk. Chris Avery: No love lost between those two!Billy: Shaw was also victorious over Jill Park at Revolution via a controversial ref stoppage."Flagpole Sitta" by Harvey Danger hits the P.A. as the lights flash red and the Actiontron is lit up with the fresh Chimp in a Suit with a Handgun.jpeg. The background is vaguely psychedelic with shifting fractal overlays. The curtain parts, and out steps Johnny Bacchus. His American flag-print bandana is pulled over his nose and mouth. He rips the bandana off and whips it into the crowd before pointing down the aisle with a double-barrel finger gun, letting off a shot, and pantomiming blowing smoke off the barrel to the roar of the audience. Adilene Floyd: And his partner, Johnny Bacchus!On his way down the ramp, he slaps hands ad takes a moment to take some pictures – Yung Toon Summoned Skull is for the children, after all. When the couple reach the floor, Johnny’s expression takes a less goofy and more determined look as he regards his opponent. The Champ slides into the ring then pulls himself onto the turnbuckle, up onto the middle ropes to the roar of the crowd. As his music fades, he proceeds to his corner, removing the jacket. Billy: This man here made a surprise return last week as the seventh member of our Casino Night Ladder match!Chris Avery: Great to see Johnny Bacchus back in Action Wrestling!The opening power chords of "Carry The Flame" by Unleash the Archers hit on the PA, and on the tron the shield motif of the Vanguard comes on the video, interspersed with footage of Downfall and Dionysus' team hitting several moves in the Havoc match, and their clasp of hands in the middle of the ring. "All the time we had is wasted and gone, and all I ask is one moment more Hold fast onto that flickering flame, or tell me what has all this been for But I need you to remember, the power was in you all along You must remain despite all the pain and bring hope to those who have none Promise me you will be the one..." Adilene Floyd: And their partners. They are the Tag Team Champions, Downfall, Dionysus, THE VANGUARD!Downfall and Dionysus walk out onto the stage from opposite sides, and they meet in the middle of the stage and clasp hands, then turn to the ring and extend their other hand out with a fist as they shout out towards the crowd. The people at ringside give a huge show of respect for the two of them as they walk down side by side, Dionysus raising his arms to get the reaction of the crowd, Downfall cracking his neck to the side in an aggressive manner. Downfall is already yelling at Dandy as he and Dion walk down to the ring, while Dandy leans over the ropes and jaw-jacks back at him. Dion pulls Downfall away from where Dandy is, going around the ring and they stop as Grindhouse stands there, the two sets of Tag champs staring at each other. Billy: The bell hasn’t even rung yet and it’s already a tinderbox out here.Chris Avery: This is nuts. Who’s going to enforce the enforcers.Grindhouse and Vanguard have a stare-down before Dion pulls Downfall away and they both get back in the ring. Gerard is now laying on his side across the top rope, head propped on his fist as if he’s watching the Hallmark channel on the couch. Dandy and Downfall keep trash talking to each other as Carter and Bacchus look on in amusement. A jagged line rips down the middle of the Action-Tron, leaving the left side pink and the right side blue. A silhouette of Regan Voorhees appears on the left, with a silhouette of Jill Park on the right. Word balloons appear over both their heads, followed by voiceovers. “Hi, Jill. “Hi, Regan.” The silhouettes vanish, the divided screen turning from black to white, a single word spread all the way across in pink letters. AFFLUENZA “Black Sheep” kicks in and golden pyro erupts from the stage, blanketing the entryway in a cloud of white smoke. Jill Park takes the stage, peering over a pair of white aviator sunglasses, a white jacket over her ring gear. Regan Voorhees follows a second later, a translucent white jacket over her own gear. She pulls back the hood to shake her hair free, as the two pause at the top of the ramp for the sake of a cinematic entrance. Adilene Floyd: And their opponents. Introducing first, the team of Jill Park and Regan Voorhees, AFFLUENZA!Jill motions to throw her glasses into the crowd but stops herself before heading to the ring to a chorus of boos. Regan follows, ignoring the jeering fans as she goes through a series of neck and arm stretches. Regan wastes no time in sauntering up the ring steps, but Jill gives the audience another look before sliding in under the bottom rope. Halting on the ring apron, Regan removes her own jacket, neatly folding it and placing it on the top turnbuckle. Meanwhile, Jill springs to her feet, making a show of seductively removing her own jacket, before tossing it on top of her partner’s. Carter immediately starts trash talking to Park, who jaws back with him. Downfall starts talking shit to Regan while miraculously keeping it up with Dandy. Dionysus, who was trying to talk Danny down, suddenly does his infamous gif face and goes back into his corner. Billy: I just have a bad feeling that things are going to breakdown.Chris Avery: This might level the Spectrum Center!The lights in the arena fade slowly to black. A booming voice echoes throughout, the beginning of "Omerta" by Lamb of God plays. "Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man will shall say to his assailant. 'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven.' Such is the rule of honor." The crowd picked up the lyrics and has began shouting them at the top of their lungs as the song kicks in, a white spotlights hits the stage and there, standing in all his glory is the King of All Wrestlers Corey Black. Clad in his ring gear with a fur piece that goes over his head and rests upon his shoulders, a long cape protrudes from the back of the fur, purple on the inside and black on the outside. A helm sits upon Black's head, encompassing his entire cranium. His eyes pierce through the mouth of the beastly helm, mythical surely. It appears to be dragon-like in nature gray leaning black in color and glowing green eyes, but alas a crown sits upon it as well. Corey stands at the top of the ramp for a few moments, looking out into the raging crowd. At his leisure, he begins walking down toward the ring, almost stalking it. He walks over to the steps, scaling them and entering the ring through the ropes to a roaring crowd. He slowly removes the creature helm, looking out on the sea of humanity appreciative of his presence. The helm now placed in the corner shoots a few bursts of steam from its nose, delighting and popping the crowd once more! Corey takes the fur and cape off, dropping it next to the helm as a crew member retrieves them and Corey stares out over the mass of humanity in the ring. “Break My Baby" Echoes through the stadium as the camera rotates around. Adilene Floyd: Making his way to the ring, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana...weighing in at 201lbs...he is the United States Champion...the Luminary of Despair...CJ PHOENIX!!!The crowd waits to see if CJ Phoenix will be able to compete in tonight's match. Billy: After the attack from those bastard DiVitos earlier in the night, we still ain’t heard if CJ is gonna make it for this match!Chris Avery: Right! His status has spent more time up in the air tonight than Obi Toppin did at the NBA Dunk Contest!A few seconds go by as the fans wait patiently. However, after five or six seconds, they start to lose hope. Dandy flashes a wicked grin, confident that the US Champion wasn't cleared to wrestle. Billy: Looks like we're gonna have a handicap match, Chris.Chris Avery: You may be right, unfortunately. And to think that Dandy DiVito still gets to be a referee tonight after what he did is sickening. Hopefully, CJ hasn't sustained any serious injuries.Billy: Meanwhile, Dandy's looking overjoyed. I can practically see him patting himself on the back.The camera pans to the World Champion and the fans boo the hell outta him. Chris Avery: Well as unfair as it may sound here, the show must go on. So we're gonna have a 4-on-3 battle as our-Suddenly, the boos flip to cheers as Dandy DiVito's smile flips into a surprised and frustrated frown. DING DONG BING BONG The ActionTron displays the black and white bear, Monokuma, with a mountain of food on a plate as if he had just left the catering area. Monokuma: Ahem. Attention, everyone! I've got some exciting news! I just came from backstage, and I found out that a certain someone has been cleared to compete in this match. He's on his way out now, and he's not a happy camper. I can't wait to see how this plays out! Puhuhuhuhu!The ActionTron cuts off. As soon as it does, "Break My Baby" once more begins to play and the cheers intensify. Just as Monokuma said, CJ Phoenix walks out onto the stage with a furious look on his face and a microphone in his hand. Billy: There he is! The United States Champion has been cleared to compete!Adilene Floyd: Making his way to the ring, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, weighing in at 201lbs......he is the United States Champion....the Luminary of Despair, CJ PHOENIX!!!Chris Avery: It's great to see him showing that resiliency that he's known for having, but he's taking a huge risk here tonight. He may have been cleared, but I don't think he's 100% right now. Considering who's involved in this match, that number could drop even further.Billy: I don't think he cares, Chris!The Luminary of Despair stops at the ramp and points directly at Dandy DiVito. CJ Phoenix: Before I get in that ring, I've got a message for that mutated, feral raccoon right there. Don't worry, I know your comprehension is...below average, so I'll keep this as simple, short, and sweet as your second World Title reign.Anyone who's good at reading lips could tell that Dandy was shouting quite a few expletives at CJ. CJ Phoenix: Two weeks ago, you and your brother came up to me, talking about wanting me to stay out of YOUR business. Then, you got involved in MY business last week by having some goon attack me after my match. For his sake, he better stay in the shadows, because he'll go from a mysterious man to a missing one real quick. As for you, since you're going off on another one of your delusional rage quests, how about you stop beating around the bush and settle this. You ain't shit to do for Casino Night next week. So how about you put your chips where your mouth is and fight me?The crowd roars with approval. Billy: Is he nuts!? He's challenging Dandy to a match NOW!? That just gives Dandy more incentive to finish the job he started earlier tonight.Chris Avery: I think it's like you said, Billy. He doesn't care. If he was willing to risk still competing tonight, then I can't be entirely surprised at this.CJ Phoenix: That way, you can air out whatever grievances and nonsense you have, and then I'll kick the last few functioning brain cells you have left out of your skull!Gerard looks pissed. As he screams “I’M THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER! ME! NOT DANDY!” Dandy looks at him and laughs as he shrugs. Billy: Gerard is apparently picking a bone with this match that I’m getting word from the back has now been confirmed by GM Pasternak! Chris Avery: Pasternak isn’t even giving Dandy a chance to agree after all the hell he’s been putting CJ through! I LOVE IT! But Gerard has a point! If this match is title versus title, it kinda means Gerard isn’t really the number one contender…CJ Phoenix slams the mic down and storms to the ring. Billy: Following up on the announcement I just made, next week’s match between Dandy DiVito and CJ Pheonix will not be sanctioned by Action Wrestling, so there will be no gold on the line!
Chris Avery: A good old fashioned GRUDGE MATCH?! That’ll be a barn burner, and one of the greatest opportunities of CJ Phoenix’s career! But that’s next week, and this is this week! Our main event for tonight is back to being the 4-on-4 bout it was intended to be, and it's about to start!Billy: This match has all of the makings of a dream AND a nightmare, Chris! Chris Avery: The sheer amount of talent and ego in the ring right now is astounding!The crowd is hot as everyone is in the ring yelling still but, to their credit, the wrestlers take their places on the outside. Dandy calls for the bell while Gerard yells at him that was what he was going to do. Jill Park is in the ring and is calling for Carter Shaw to step into the ring with her. Shaw points to himself and gets in the ring as the two circle each other. Carter just stops and grins at Park before walking back to his corner and slaps Dionysus on the chest, tagging him in. Billy: Shaw playing mind games with Jill yet again.Chris Avery: Carter is trying to get under her skin and it seems like it’s working!Jill yells at Carter who just laughs at her as he gets back on the apron. Park goes over to say more to him but is taken off her feet as the legal man Dion clobbers her with a clothesline! Billy: That’s exactly what Shaw wanted! He took the focus off Dion and Jill just got flattened!Chris Avery: This match is like one of those super volcanos, soon it’s going to erupt and take us all out!Dionysus has Jill in a side headlock now, using his larger frame to inflict more damage. Jill hit him with a few rights in the ribs and manages to wiggle out. She manages to whip Dion into the ropes but as he goes to come back, Joey Scala grabs his ankle from the outside, causing him to stumble. Billy: The special enforcers aren’t suppose to get involved like that!Chris Avery: The interim champ messing with the champ!Dion yells outside at Joey who holds his hands up, acting innocent. Both Dandy and Gerard do nothing like they are calling the first three quarters of the Superbowl. Dion, unfortunately, turns around into a superkick from Jill! She goes for the cover. Dandy drops down to count. 1… .....

Dion kicks out with the super slow count from the World champion. Jill gets up and starts yelling at Dandy who laughs and points to the referee shirt he’s wearing. Billy: Dandy counting as slow as a glacier moves!Chris Avery: The champ is trying to mess with the people in the Casino Night Ladder match here!Jill fights the urge to hit Dandy and goes back over to Dion, trying to grab his ankle, but he kicks her off. Dionysus rolls forward and tags in Downfall. He gets into the ring, giving Dandy the bird before running and knocking down Jill with a shoulder block. He yells for Jill to tag in Regan. Park gets to her feet and looks back at Regan who offers out a hand. Jill tags in her Affulenza compadre and she gets in the ring. Once again we see a circling but Downfall rushes in and hits Voorhees with a right hand that stumbles her back. He nails another one and another, and runs to hit the ropes, but his ankle is grabbed by Holden Ross. Downfall kicks him off and yells some obscenities at him which Holden gives right back. Gerard takes this chance to give Downfall a warning and receives a middle finger for his efforts. Daniel turns around but is met with a boot to the gut by Regan who hooks him up for the Abattior, but Downfall counters with a Northern Lights suplex! Downfall bridges it into a pin. Angelo slides into position for a count but lies to Downfall telling him it’s an illegal pin attempt. Downfall pops out of his bridge and gets in Gerard’s face, pointing a finger in his face. Gerard slaps the hand out of his face and the two members of Grindhouse hop up on the ring apron. Billy: Oh man Gerard’s hired goons getting involved here!Chris Avery: They’re the special enforcers but this is ridiculous!Gerry looks over either shoulder and gets a shit eating grin on his face. Dion takes this opportunity to get into the ring to back up his partner. Gerard laughs and starts counting, telling Dion he’s in the ring illegally. The count doesn’t last long as Gerard gets his lights turned off by a nasty superkick via CJ Phoenix! Gerry collapses onto the mat! Billy: WHAT A SUPERKICK! MY GOD!Chris Avery: Gerard Angelo is out! CJ just superkicked one of our special referees!The crowd is going nuts as Vanguard takes this opportunity to rush at Grindhouse, knocking them both off the apron as they get out of the ring and Vanguard and Grandhouse start trading hands. MEanwhile in the ring Dand and CJ start brawling with each other and it just breaks down there as everyone else gets in the ring. Jill Park and Carter Shaw start trading blows while Bacchus and Voorhees start going at it. Billy: Shitfire! The match just devolved into chaos!Chris Avery: It’s not a match! It’s a fight!Everyone is teeing off on each other except for Corey Black. The King is still standing on the ring apron, just watching the proceedings as he leans on the top rope. Park and Shaw keep throwing punches, fighting near the ropes and they fall throw the second and top rope and spill onto the floor. That doesn’t deter them though as the keep fighting like the have a bloodlust. Near them, Vanguard and Grindhouse continue to brawl, trading haymakers like it was Tyson and Holyfield. In the ring Regan has Johnny in the corner, throwing kicks at him but Bacchus stun his with an elbow to the jaw and she stumbles out of the corner. “The Rascal King” spins out of the corner, trying to connect with King’s Dead (or Queen’s Dead beacuse you know) but Regan drops down and rolls out of the ring. Johnny shrugs and slips out after her, clobbering her on the back with a few fore arms. At this point everyone is brawling around each other, fists hitting target they aren’t even aimed at as it just turns into one big donnybrook. Billy: This is insane! Where is security?!?! They’re gonna fight until they destroy each other!Chris Avery: They could seriously injure each other at this rate and - HEY! What’s Corey Black doing?The King of All Wrestlers made his way into the ring, looking at the scrum on the floor below him. Black shrugs and runs, hitting off the ropes. He comes back and jumps onto the rope rope and comes off with a springboard plancha! They crowd goes absolutely nuts as Black lands onto of the fight and knocks everyone down into a mass of bodies as the crowd chants HOLY SHIT! Billy: SHITFIRE! Corey Black just took everyone out with a massive suicidal move!Chris Avery: That was insane!The crowd is going crazy as everyone is at the bottom of the ramp brawling now! Dandy is in the ring by himself counting! 1! 2! 3! 4! 6! 9! AND 10! DING DING DING The bell sounds as Dandy laughs but the crowd pops when CJ slides into the ring and charges at Dandy!! Billy:Billy: SHITFIRE WAIT DID THE MATCH END?!Chris Avery: ITS OVER?! THE MATCH JUST.. ENDED?!Everyone continues brawling!! We see Park and Shaw still trading blows, Regan and Bacchus and Dionysus throwing strike after strike! Corey Black and Downfall are slapping and chopping each other against the railing and the ring apron!! Dandy and Phoenix are brawling in the ring!!
