Turmoil Tournament
CJ Phoenix vs. Gerard Angelo
"Break My Baby" Echoes through the stadium as the camera rotates around. Seconds later, CJ Phoenix walks out and stops at the middle of the ramp, stretching his arms out while lowering his head.
Adilene Floyd: Making his way to the ring, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana...weighing in at 201lbs...the Luminary of Despair...CJ PHOENIX!!!
As the chorus begins, he covers half of his face with his hand. Then, he slowly lowers his arm and looks around at the arena. A sinister smile grows on his face as he walks to the ring. Once inside, he hops on the turnbuckle and stares off unto the audience. Finally, he hops down, looks into the camera lens, and covers one side of his face with his hand for a second while mouthing the word "despair".
Billy: CJ Phoenix with an INCREDIBLE opportunity here! If he can knock down the World Champion and take the #1 seed out of Turmoil right here, that could set up a tremendous amount of momentum for Turmoil PPV!
Chris Avery: We'll have to see! Anything can happen in Action Wrestling!
The lights go out in the arena and the sound of a synth starts playing.
“ALL MY LIFE! GRINDING ALL MY LIFE!”
A lone spotlight turns on directed down at the top of the stage as Nipsey Hustle blasts out over the arena sound system. The people as they give loud boos as Gerard Angelo is shown standing in the spotlight, back to the crowd, the hood of his hoodie pulled up, right arm raised above his head at an angle, one finger extended. The World Championship is draped over his shoulder, the face plate exposed to the camera. He throws his hood back with the same hand and spins around to the crowd, arms extended as a massive explosion of fireworks go off on the stage. The house lights come back on as he lifts the World title, holding it over his head with one hand, surveying the crowd behind his trademark sunglasses. Gerard adjusts the strap, resting it on his shoulder. He makes his way down to the ring slowly, brushing off fans and taunting them.
Adilene Floyd: From Hollywood, California, weighing in at 225 lbs, he is the Action Wrestling World Champion, GERRRRRARD ANGELOOOOOOOOO!
He stops at the ring stairs, slaps the top step before climbing them, and walks to the center of the ring apron. Angelo surveys the arena crowd again, holding up the World title again to another round of boos, before slipping through the middle and top rope into the ring. He walks to the opposite ring post, leaping onto the second turnbuckle. Gerry points to the crowd before unzipping his hoodie, which gets more than a few ladies in the audience to scream out, before pulling it off and pretending to toss it to the fans, before just dropping it on the floor with a smirk. "The Hollywood Hero" hops down and removes his trademark sunglasses, placing them in the corner neatly before he gives the title a kiss before he hands it to the timekeeper. Gerard leans back against the turnbuckles, mouthing off to the fans as he starts to stretch.
Billy: He has defeated Lissie Hope! He's defeated Dandy DiVito! He's defeated Kidsgrove and Bozo to keep that World Championship around that waist!
Chris Avery: And last week he went through Cedrone and tonight he faces off against the current Tag Team Champion!
