Donald Deruty is walking down a street in the rain. He's holding his suit jacket over his head. He stops at a bus stop and shows a picture of Norb. The writing on the picture says "MISSING" above the photo. The two strangers at the bus station shake their head no.
D-Day is walking down a long dirt road and he reaches an old barn at the end of it. He steps inside out from the dust and wind and finds an old farmer milking a cow. He shows the photo and the farmer thinks for a beat but shakes his head no. D-Day lowers his head.
D-Day is stapling the 8x11 MISSING note to a tree on the side of a road. As we pan back, it's on every other tree for a mile.
D-Day is standing outside the Capitol last Wednesday. He's asking protestors if they've seen Norb. With each passing one they're telling him no as they rush towards the building. D-Day turns around and runs into Jaice. Jaice is shocked. D-Day is asking him if he's protesting. Jaice looks around and uh.. nah, no, nope. And then runs in a different direction. D-Day shakes his head.
D-Day walks to a small cabin on a hill. He grabs the garbage can and walks it back from the edge of the sidewalk back to the garage. D-Day folds the rest of the papers that he has and walks to the front porch. He bends down and grabs a key under the pot. He unlocks and opens the door and steps inside. He closes the door behind him and looks around the empty cabin. He lets out a sigh. He reaches down to a long piece of paper left on the counter.
--------- Hey, its Wednesday, call me.
Hey, its Thursday evening, checked if you were here. Let me know if you're safe.
Its Friday where ya at?
Hey, its Saturday, I hope you're good. -------
D-Day grabs a pen and writes one last note under the rest of them on the same piece of paper. He sets the pin down as he grabs the stack of MISSING papers. He exits the Cabin.
We pan down to the note.
- Norb. It's time for our show. Please let me know if you're safe. Day.

Void vs. Azurine Vebbins
Pyro blasts off in the arena as CruiserClash begins! Jimmy Garcia: Welcome everybody to CruiserClash!JJ Biggs: BIG show for you tonight, as always, but tonight it's a big one! The main event is for the Cruiserweight Championship!Jimmy Garcia: Miss Mae has to put her title on the line against Spayde Martinez!JJ Biggs: Good! Mae doesn't deserve to be Champion!Jimmy Garcia: She won it fair-n-square! JJ Biggs: She's a hack, a joke, a god damn fluke!Jimmy Garcia: We're starting off hot and heavy tonight, no sleep for the wicked.. lets get to some action!JJ Biggs: Hell yeah! Lets do it!The light above the ring slowly fades out. The crowd starts to quiet down. The lights around ringside, along with the stage lights fade out, flashing from strong, to medium strength, to dim, and finally fading out. Finally, the lights on the crowd flash quickly, before turning out, plunging the venue into darkness. “Riptide” by Grandson starts to play as a flickering spotlight falls on the stage. VOID walks out, he holds his hand up, like he’s trying to block out the light. Then he begins walking around the stage, from side to side The light follows him, but VOID speeds up, to a jog, then a run, then sprints out of the light, towards the ring. The spotlight focuses on the ring, but VOID is nowhere to be seen, Then, there he is, sitting on the turnbuckle. The spotlight focuses on him. He lifts his hand to the air, then snaps his fingers. The light starts to slowly flicker, picking up speed as VOID gets off the turnbuckle, then goes into the tree of woe position. The lights reach a strobe effect, then VOID flails his arms out to his sides, and the light is gone. Jimmy Garcia: Last week was HUGE for Void. He got the win over Kaz Mazy, the former Cruiserweight champion!JJ Biggs: Yeah, and winning the match resulted in a special reward from D-Day which turned out to be that Void gets to pick a week where he’s the CruiserClash General Manager!Jimmy Garcia: That sounds awesome!JJ Biggs: You sure about that, Jimmy? I heard one of his first acts was to fire you!Jimmy Garcia: WHAT?! Why me?!?As "Radio Gaga" by Queen prominently plays throughout the arena, "The Adorkable Angel" Azurine Vebbins pirouettes onto the entrance ramp. A solitary spotlight provides an ethereal glow as she begins to descend down the ramp like an automaton practicing aerobics. She performs various other dance steps while making her way to the eastern ring apron. Along the way, she waves, high-fives and hugs certain chanters she comes into contact with. When a chanter puckers up for a kiss, she points to her halo (neck collar). Upon entering the eastern ring apron, she glides between the bottom and middle ropes before awaiting referee instruction and her next opponent. JJ Biggs: Last week’s CruiserClash was a tough start for Azurine and Pinapple Promenade. They lost to Two Gents, the current Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions.Jimmy Garcia: Yeah, Azurine wasn’t the one that was pinned though so that at least works in her favor. She can get her winning ways in 2021 started with a win here tonight over Void!The referee signals for the bell to begin the match. Azurine starts the match off with a running DDT and then a jumping clothesline as Void gets to his feet. Void gets up again in the corner and eats an elbow smash. Azurine grabs him before he can fall and executes a bulldog and quickly rolls Void up for the pin attempt. ONEE!! T---NOOO! Void kicks out. Azurine picks Void up and whips him across the ring. Void reverses the whip and catches Azurine in a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. He drops a knee across the throat of Azurine and she’s coughing like crazy. Void executes an axe kick as Azurine tries to get up and he goes for the pin. ONNEE!! TW--NOOO! Azurine kicks out now. Jimmy Garcia: These two are going at it and really trying to do damage to each other!JJ Biggs: Azurine wants her first win of 2021 and Void wants to keep the momentum going!Void charges at Azurine, going for a running back elbow, but Azurine leaps up and hits a tilt-a-whirl headscissors takedown. Azurine quickly grabs Void’s legs and locks in a boston crab, but Void eventually pulls the pair over to the ropes, forcing her to let go. Azurine quickly hops up on the top turnbuckle and leaps off and catches Void in a frankensteiner and holds his legs for the pin! ONEE!! TWOOO! THRE---NOOOO! Void gets the shoulder up! Azurine doesn’t let up and pulls Void to his feet and executes a crucifix DDT!! Jimmy Garcia: She hits the DDT!!!JJ Biggs: This could be it for Void!!ONEEE!! TWOOO!!! THREEE---NOOOO!! Void just manages to get the shoulder up! Azurine goes to grab Void, but he catches her in the midsection and executes a brainbuster. As she gets to her feet, he floors her with a running back elbow and scoops her up for a powerslam. Void waits for Azurine to get up again and lays her out with a step up enziguri eliciting an “OOHHHH” from the crowd at the sound of the impact. Void takes Azurine down with a hammerlock cradle DDT!! JJ Biggs: GRASP OF DARKNESS TO AZURINE VEBBINS!!Jimmy Garcia: I think she may be out of it, JJ!ONEEE!! TWOOO!! THREE---NOOOO!! Azurine gets the shoulder up at the last possible second!! Void grabs Azurine before she can move and locks in a Tazzmission!! Jimmy Garcia: NULL LOCK TO AZURINE VEBBINS!! Void has it locked in!! JJ Biggs: There’s nowhere for Azurine to go! SHE TAPS!!DING DING DING “Riptide” by Grandson starts to play as Void rises to his feet, victorious. Jimmy Garcia: And Void’s winning streak in 2021 continues!!JJ Biggs: He’s got some huge momentum heading into Revolution with another win over a big face on CruiserClash, Jimmy!

Regan Voorhees vs. Nidrah
A gunshot echoes across the arena, followed by a second of silence before “Leader of the Pack” kicks in. A red glow bathes the arena, a single crimson spotlight tracking on the entryway over Regan Voorhees. The Duchess of Pork stands with her head bowed, a translucent white raincoat over her ring gear. Behind her back, she clutches a red croquet mallet. Regan looks up, eyes glinting with malice, as she glares at the ring. Her right hand pulls back the hood of her raincoat, revealing a mane of shoulder length blond hair. The croquet mallet dangles in her left hand for a moment, before she positions it over her shoulder and begins her walk to the ring. She glances occasionally to the crowd before turning her eyes away in abject disgust. At ringside, she climbs the steps and steps through the ropes. Giving her mallet a kiss for luck, she twirls it in her fingers before resting it across her shoulder once again. A wicked grin creeps across as her lips as she poses for the crowd, before advancing to her corner. JJ Biggs: Last week, Regan dominated Fredrick Whitmer and tapped him out in almost record time.Jimmy Garcia: Yeah, but is she going to be able to do the same against Nidrah?Destiny by Malagrino starts playing and Nidrah comes down to the ring.

This is NIDRAH!!!JJ Biggs: Pineapple Promenade were THIS close to winning the cruiserweight tag titles from the Two Gents, Jimmy.Jimmy Garcia: Yeah but they proved too much and Nidrah was the one that was pinned.

Cruiser-Greats Segment
We are shown the parking lot of the Mazda Arena as a Winnebago RV putters its way slowly toward the building. It gets slower and slower as it approaches the building, then suddenly stops. Smoke pours out of the engine and… JJ Biggs: Sara Pettis drove that thing until the wheels fell off!Jimmy Garcia: No kidding! All four wheels… FELL OFF!The door swings open and out comes the foursome calling themselves Cruiser-Greats, flanked by Victoria Richardson. Each of them looks worse for wear. They move toward the building, all walking ahead of Sara. Sara Pettis: Guys! Wait up! We've got to go over--J.C. Keeton: We need space, Sara.Sara Pettis: But we need to--Trey Bouchet: And we will. Let's get inside and get settled.Victoria Richardson: I've requested a private locker room for the team.Sara Pettis: Great idea! I think this road trip really brought us together and has made us a formidable alliance.Soldado stops in his tracks and Sara bumps into him. He turns around and lifts up a finger, then sighs and shakes his head. The team enters the arena as we go back to JJ and Jimmy to call the action packed action.

Alice vs. CJ Phoenix
I'm So Sick by Flyleaf hits the PA system as the lights in the arena fade to black. Strobe lighting flashes as Alice walks onto the stage and stops at the top of the ramp, standing sideways, looking at the ground whilst holding onto the lapels of her jacket. I will BREAK!... The lights of the arena come back up, Alice flicks her hair back, looking at the ring whilst licking her lips and then seductively smiling. Adilene Floyd: From The King's City, England, weighing in at 120 pounds, she is Hard as Fuck!... this is ... Alice!She marches to the ring and slides under the bottom rope. She climbs onto the 2nd rope and drapes her leg over the top, flicking her hair back again and seductively smiling to the crowd. She jumps off the ropes and removes her jacket and retreats to the corner, crouching down ready for the match. Jimmy Garcia: Alice didn’t get off to a great start for 2021 when she ate the pin for her team last week.JJ Biggs: Yeah, but she looks determined as hell here tonight to atone for that loss, Jimmy!"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...CJ Phoenix!As the chorus begins, he raises up his head and his hands, directing them skyward. Then, he slowly lowers his arms 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 looks around, breaking out in a maniacal laugh in the process. Jimmy Garcia: Last week, CJ got an upset win over JC Keeton.JJ Biggs: Yeah and it was a bullshit win thanks to Reo Raijin!Jimmy Garcia: CJ’s going to want to continue the momentum towards Revolution by trying to get a win over Alice here in a moment!The referee signals for the bell to begin the match. Alice and CJ lock up in the middle, but Alice backs him in the corner with some Muay Thai kicks. CJ is whipped across the ring and Alice floors him with a running forearm smash. CJ is back up and charges at Alice but she takes him down with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors. CJ uses the momentum to roll out of the ring before Alice can go for the pin. Alice runs the ropes and dives between the ropes, taking CJ out at ringside with a suicide dive. JJ Biggs: Alice came out swinging and she’s not letting up, Jimmy!Jimmy Garcia: Alice rolls CJ back into the ring and goes for the early pin attempt.ONE!!! TWO----NOOO! CJ kicks out right before the 2 count. JJ Biggs: WHOA! Almost a near fall barely a minute into this match, Jimmy!Jimmy Garcia: Yeah, but here comes CJ!CJ hits a running DDT on Alice.

Jimmy Garcia: VENGEANCE FALLS TO CJ PHOENIX!JJ Biggs: Here’s the pin attempt!ONEE!! TWOOO! THRE--NOOOO! CJ gets the shoulder up at the last second. Alice is frustrated.

She’s shook as he pulls her to her feet and sends her across the ring and catches her in a powerslam. Alice wisely rolls out of the ring and CJ takes flight, taking her out at ringside with a suicide dive! CJ rolls Alice back into the ring and positions her and locks in a sharpshooter Jimmy Garcia: This could be it for Alice! She’s too far from the ropes!JJ Biggs: But she’s fighting! She’s pulling them over! I don’t know if she has the ener--no! She makes it!

Jenna Bauer: Thanks Jimmy, I’m here backstage with Tag Team Champions the 2 Gents...or at least I’m trying to be. As you can see behind me, there appears to be some kind of commotion near the merch stand!Over Jenna’s shoulder, a large crowd appears to have surrounded a table near the merch stand, where the Gents are selling wrapped purple and gold present boxes to fans. Jenna Bauer: This must be part of that T-shirt launch party we heard about earlier this week! Let’s see if we can get an exclusive.Jenna manages to push her way to the table, with no small degree of effort, and manages to make it to the table where Teo and Jenson, tag titles over their shoulders, are working the merch stand as though they were any other AW employee.

Jenna Bauer: Well, back to you guys I guess...

A Boiling Rivalry..
The camera comes back from break capturing video shots of the crowd. It momentarily stops on a section where there are at least fifteen individuals wearing a Reo Raijin mask; men, women, and children. The camera pauses as the voice of CruiserClash J.J. Biggs can slightly be heard behind muffles. “Look at these idiots…” My Demons by Starset begins playing as the group of individuals begin jumping up and down and screaming. They're all around me Circling like vultures They wanna break me and wash away my colors Wash away my colors The section begins singing along with the music. JJ Biggs: I can’t believe that this man has fans… they're just as sick and disgusting as he has become.Jimmy Garcia: You’ve been very vocal of this guy the past few weeks.I cannot stop this sickness taking over It takes control and drags me into nowhere I need your help, I can't fight this forever I know you're watching I can feel you out there The camera begins panning around the arena as several men same in build and posture back out into the crowd dressed as the man of mask. JJ Biggs: What… Which one is… him…A hand grabs Biggs shoulder and he instinctively responds by jumping to his feet and coming eye to eye with another Reo Raijin. This man in a mask begins laughing as he raises his hands out towards his sides and slowly backs away one step at a time. JJ Biggs' headset is flung off and the announcing legend steps momentarily forwards and then steps back picking up his headset once more. JJ Biggs: I don’t know what game this guy is playing…Jimmy Garcia: I don't think anyone knows at this point. You're becoming entangled within this feud between Raijin and Keeton. You should stay out of this JJBiggs looks around the arena as masked Raijin’s all back away in unison and disappear into the crowd. He then quickly turns back towards the mask man he had confronted and he as well has disappeared from sight. JJ Biggs: It’s nothing but mind games and tricks… He’s got his coming…”Born Legendary” by Emanuel Vo Williams, Grayson Voltaire & Sven Hansen begins playing causing the crowd to erupt with cheers as J.C. Keeton comes through the entrance much earlier than normal. The crowd chants his name. JC! JC! JC! Microphone already in hand he begins yelling for his music to be shut off. J.C. Keeton: Turn it off! Turn off my music!!!Just as the music cuts out the lights completely go out as well momentarily. Within an instant of the lights coming back on J.C. Keeton is in a full sprint towards the ring as Raijin stands center holding a chair between his hands. JJ Biggs: This is it folks!!!Keeton jumps onto the ring apron and pauses before he just as quickly drops back off onto the floor. He lifts the microphone as he begins speaking. J.C. Keeton: No. No. That’s not Raijin. This is just another one of his stupid games. He throws the microphone down onto the floor and turns around to walk away.JJ Biggs: That’s right kid remember what me and your dad taught you.The camera begins to turn away as J.C. is about to walk through the entrance towards the backstage. It pauses as it catches movement coming through the curtain and with a thunderous shot Raijin comes flying through with a chair. J.C. is momentarily caught off guard but was able to raise his arms taking the brunt of the chair shot. He falls backwards and uses the momentum to roll through the fall and rolls to his feet. Instantly J.C. Keeton is coming towards Raijin who again raises the chair but instead throws it towards Keeton’s head. The entrance begins filling with smoke and as it begins to clear J.C. Keeton is looking through the smoke. JJ Biggs: He’s looking for Raijin but he’s gone.Jimmy Garcia: This guy gets more creative with each new week. There’s no game plan for this guy.Keeton kicks over a steel trash can as the smoke clears and screams in extreme anger. He pushes his way through the entrance and is picked up by a camera on the other side. He’s heard yelling. J.C. Keeton: DERUTY I WANT RAIJIN!!!The camera cuts back to the announce booth. JJ Biggs: Every time J.C. gets his hands on Raijin it leads to another damn game.

Reo Raijin, Jim Mud, Alex Scott, Reckless Jack vs. J.C. Keeton, Soldado Fortuna, Sara Pettis, Trey Bouchet JJ Biggs: Deruty announced this match and it’s caused a bit of a stir on the internet. The fans are commenting that Raijin and Keeton should have been a singles match.Jimmy Garcia: I’m sure that’ll happen sooner rather than later.Black smoke fills the top of the entrance ramp. Cut the Cord begins to play and out of the black smoke steps Soldado Fortuna, accompanied by Victoria Richardson. Both look out into the crowd, then at each other. Victoria gives Soldado a nod and he begins making his way down the ramp, his manager a step behind him, brandishing a microphone Victoria Richardson: Ladies and gentlemen, on his way to the ring as we speak, hailing from Tijuana, Mexico, he stands at six feet tall, he weighs in at 200 pounds, he is the client of yours truly, Victoria Richardson....I proudly present to you all...SOLDADO....FORTUNASoldado and Victoria enter the ring. Soldado heads to the turnbuckle and poses with his arms outstretched and his head to the sky, as Victoria emphatically points to her client. Soldado then sits on the top turnbuckle, as Victoria exits the ring. Jimmy Garcia: I don’t think anyone realized it but Raijin mentioned it earlier this week. Soldado and Raijin will have been across the ring from each other half of Raijin’s matches.JJ Biggs: Yeah, we all saw him whining about miss justice, blah blah. Deruty has it out for Raijin, blah blah."Zombie (Lost Sky Remix)" by The Cranberries starts up and Sara Pettis makes her way out onto the stage. She excitedly moves from side to side of the ramp to slap hands with lots of fans. Adilene Floyd: Making her way to the ring... fighting out of Ozone Park, New York… she is the Child of Fate… SARA PETTIS!Once she reaches the ring, she looks up at the ring with a smile, then slides in and basks in the admiration from the fans. JJ Biggs: I think 2021 is going to be the year of Sara Pettis.Jimmy Garcia: 2020 definitely wasn’t her year.“Higher Ground” by Red Hot Chili Peppers plays. Adilene Floyd: Hailing from Point-Aux-Chenes, Louisiana and weighing in at 201 pounds, he is ‘The Cajun Catapult’ Trey Bouchet!Trey appears from behind the curtain. He wastes no time with theatrics, powerwalking down the ramp. Totally in the zone, ‘The Suplexpert’ does not interact with the fans. He enters the ring by the stairs and then moves to the center, faces the hard camera, points up with both hands before bringing them down and sweeping them side to side in a horizontal fashion while simultaneously shaking his head in the negative. Finally cracking a smile, Trey moves to his corner. JJ Biggs: Trey Bouchet has been on a suplex disaster lately.Jimmy Garcia: He has the most devastating suplex in the business.JJ Biggs: I like this kid and would hate to be on the wrong end of one of his suplex."Born Legendary" begins to play and when the beat kicks in pyro explodes from the ramp way as JC Keeton steps through the curtain. He makes his way to the ring bouncing in rhythm to the music. When he reaches the ring he leaps up onto the apron and steps through the ropes, He continues to sway and bounce from heel to heel as he awaits the match to start. Jimmy Garcia: Your guy is looking good tonight JJ. How do you think this is gonna go tonight?JJ Biggs: Oh, JC has a plan… trust me…Jimmy Garcia: What’s that supposed to mean?JJ Biggs: Watch Jimmy… Just watch.Hurt by T.I. begins playing and Reckless Jack comes through the entrance. He’s walking with determination as he doesn’t pander to the crowd or react to seeing his opponents. When he reaches ringside he steps onto the steel steps and then backs away as if he realized that he better wait for his partners. Jimmy Garcia: Here comes one of his partners now!JJ Biggs: Alex Scott is a really good competitor and he’ll definitely need to be involved for his team to win."Fight Like the Devil" begins, and there is a brief murmuring of fans. As the song picks up, Alex Scott parts the curtain, a look of focus and minor indifference on his face. He shows very little emotion, walking to the ring in his hooded sweatshirt, tights and boots. He stops outside of the ring and stands with Reckless Jack. Jimmy Garcia: Here comes Jim Mud and he’s pushing a shopping cart of weapons.JJ Biggs: This guy lives for violence.The stage lights dim dramatically as a single bass note echoes through the arena, a large wave of boos rushing over as the speakers fall silent for a moment before the full bass line to My Name is Mud kicks in. When the full instrumental kicks in, Jim Mud pushes through the curtain and takes his place center stage, staring ahead with the camera zooming in to focus on dilated dark pupils. The audience litters the stage, entrance ramp, and ringside area with trash in disapproval as Jim continues his march, stepping slowly down the aisle. When he reaches ringside the three men look at each other as Jack and Alex look into Mud’s shopping cart. Jimmy Garcia: Can we never have a four on four tag match again? These introductions take forever...JJ Biggs: I suggest next time we just let the entrances happen during the break. We can take break now.Jimmy Garcia: Raijin isn’t here yet.JJ Biggs: Exactly.An unknown gravely voice speaks as the arena lights begin fading to a dark shade of gray. Akutō Akutō Akutō Akutō Akutō The Japanese word for villain flashes onto the screen as the lights explode into a burst of brilliant white lights and pyrotechnics. The explosions sound as though they are coming from the ring and then another set of explosions that come from the entrance ramp. My Demons by Starset begins playing loudly throughout the arena. The cameras shakes and pan quickly throughout the entire arena before suddenly stopping within the stands of the audience. Reo Raijin walks out within the crowd and stands as he holds his hands and arms outward before quickly bringing them in as he grasp his hands into a fist. He begins makes his way between the fans who are grabbing and patting him on the shoulders as a few attempt at taking a selfie as he passes by them. As he gets to the barricade separating crowd from audience he jumps onto the top of the barricade and turns towards the crowd. The words are called out with what sounds like thousands of children screaming in unison. Something wicked this way comes. Raijin opens his arms out wide again as he drops off the barricade as he looks towards the crowd. Instantly he turns and walks up the steel steps and grabs the top rope pulling himself upwards and using his momentum to jump over the top rope as his partners enter the ring as well. Jimmy Garcia: Here he go folks. Keeton isn’t waiting for the bell!JJ Biggs: Get in there kid and take care of this guy.J.C. Keeton runs towards Raijin but the masked man ducks between the ropes and drops back down to the floor. The bell rings with Soldado and Mud inside of the ring. The two men lock up as their partners take their places outside of the ring. Keeton and Raijin are circling around the ring as the masked man attempts to avoid the youngest Keeton. Sara Pettis drops off the apron and stops the momentum of Raijin. Reo and J.C. are standing face to face. DING DING DING JJ Biggs: The coward is caught now. He can’t run anymore.BAM! BAM! BAM! A loud explosion of a backhand chop sounds out as Mud chops at Soldado’s bare chest. Soldado is backed into a neutral corner and Mud jumps onto the second ropes and clenches his fist. He begins hitting Soldado in the forehead with closed fist and the crowd counts with each blow. Outside of the ring Pettis shoves Raijin in the back pushing him towards JC Keeton who grabs him lifting the mask up and then dropping him neck first onto the guardrail outside of the ring. Raijin grabs his throat in agony gasping for breath. Jim Mud nails a tenth shot to the temple of Soldado and then drops back to the canvas. The referee turns towards the action outside of the ring as Mud drops to his knees and delivers a low blow to Soldado. Jimmy Garcia: The referee needs to count out Raijin and Keeton. What’s he doing just ignoring them?JJ Biggs: They aren’t the legal men in the match.Mud pulls Soldado towards his corner and tags in Alex Scott. Mud holds Soldado’s arm as Alex climbs the turnbuckles and then comes off with a double ax handle to the shoulder of Soldado. His voice yelps out with pain as he grabs towards his shoulder and neck. Outside of the ring Raijin crawls towards the entrance as Keeton continues beating on him with vicious kicks and strikes. Raijin is holding up his hand towards Keeton in a physical begging of stoppage. Trey Bouchet jumps the top rope and goes towards Alex as he’s kicking Soldado in the face and head. The referee pushes Bouchet back towards the apron. Reckless Jack comes into the ring illegally and double teams with Alex Scott. As the referee goes to turn around Scott exits the ring as ask if they had made the tag. Pettis and Bouchet beg to the differ but the referee allows the change of wrestlers as Soldado grabs the trucks of Jack pulling him backwards into the ropes. Soldado rebounds with a tornado ddt to Jack as he come off the ropes. He then dives towards his corner tagging in Bouchet. Jimmy Garcia: There’s the tag. Soldado made the tag!JJ Biggs: We’re heading away from the ring for a moment as Raijin and Keeton are battling backstage.Raijin has a wooden cane within his grasp and swings towards Keeton but misses as JC ducks. He responds with a kick to Raijin’s midsection and then grabs him and drops him onto the concrete floor with a vicious thud. JJ Biggs: That thud is music to my ears!!The camera cuts back to the ring where Bouchet hits Reckless Jack with a belly to belly suplex. Bouchet grabs Jack pulling him towards him and throws Jack overhead with a German suplex. Jack’s body bounces towards the turnbuckle where Bouchet tags in Sara Pettis. Sara leaps into the ring and grabs Jack performing an Ice Pick Piledriver and covering him for the pin. 1… 2… Jim Mud makes the save as he jumped into the ring lunging towards Pettis and Jack. The referee begins counting and Mud makes it back to the apron behind causing disqualification. Jimmy Garcia: Mud just made the save and keeping this match from ending.Pettis is able to get back to her feet and rams her knee into the side of Jack’s head knocking him backwards. She again attempts a knee to the head but Jack grabs her left leg and rolls her into a small package. The referee jumps towards the pin fall. 1… 2… 3… The referee raises from the match waving his arms and then signalizing with his fingers that Pettis had gotten her shoulder off the mat. JJ Biggs: That was the closest of close calls!!!Jimmy Garcia: This four on four match has turned into a three on three and it’s been close both ways.Pettis pushes herself backwards into her corner as she raises her hand and Soldado tags himself back into the match. He rushes towards Jack who back body drops him to the canvas. Jack turns back towards Soldado and the two begin exchanging blows repeatedly. Soldado punch. Jack punch. Soldado punch. Jack punch. The crowd oohs and awws with the connection of each blow reaching it’s mark. Reckless Jack raises his arm blocking a punch from Soldado and connects with a European uppercut knocking him backwards. Jack reaches out and tags in Jim Mud. Mud rushes towards Soldado who side steps Mud and reaches with his hand shoving Mud into the corner. JJ Biggs: Soldado has the momentum.Jimmy Garcia: Pettis and Bouchet are hitting Mud in the corner as the referee admonishes Soldado.JJ Biggs: That’s some smart teamwork there.Alex Scott and Reckless Jack jump into the ring and rush towards the opposite corner attacking all three of their opponents. Scott and Bouchet end up outside of the ring fighting. Jack and Pettis are exchanging blows in the center of the ring. JJ Biggs: This match has gotten out of hand. The referee has completely lost control of this match.Jimmy Garcia: Jim Mud has cement cylinder block from the shopping cart.Jim Mud rolls into the match with the block bound between his grasp. Jim Mud slams the cement block over Soldado’s head crumbling the brick and Soldado onto the canvas. The referee turned towards the men as the blow was struck and he begins signaling for the bell. DING DING DING JJ Biggs: This match has ended in disqualification.Jimmy Garcia: Jim Mud destroyed Soldado and cost his team the match.Mud, Scott, and Jack begin walks down the isle as the camera changes towards the backstage area again. Raijin and Keeton are still exchanging blows with each other. Blood is coming from an open wound above Keeton’s right eye. His face and chest covered in crimson violence. Raijin has his hand clenched into a fist as he gains momentum and slams punches into the open wound. JC Keeton is slumped over a table as Raijin begins smearing JC’s blood onto the white washed wall. While he’s spelling out a cryptic message in blood his voice is heard. “Jonathan Cade, I told you that this was about blood.” Keeton rolls off the table as he’s looking towards Raijin and his blood smeared message. The camera for the first time is able to capture the words. ~ I will End you ~ Raijin turns towards Keeton and is caught with a steel chair across his shoulders. The shot causes Raijin to bend his knees and arch his back in agony. With the slamming of the chair across Raijin’s head he collapse to the floor. Keeton stands over Raijin and brings the chair down across his neck. The camera captures brutal rage as JC Keeton breathes heavily and spit spews from his mouth. JJ Biggs: I’ve never seen JC Keeton like this before. He’s become possessed with revenge and wants to extract retribution upon Raijin.Jimmy Garcia: I don’t understand why this hasn’t been broken up yet?JJ Biggs: I’m getting word that it has been broken up several times. Apparently they haven’t been able to keep them separate for very long.Keeton is grabbed by several officials pushing him backwards. He throws the chair towards Raijin in frustration. He pushes himself forward towards Raijin but is again pushed backwards. Raijin is grabbing his throat as he coughs and gasp for breath. His face is a bright shade of red as oxygen is forced back into his lungs. The scene fades to black as Donald Deruty is seen talking to JC Keeton.

2Gents Segment
As CruiserClash cuts back from commercial, a quite unusual sight greets the viewer. Amazingly, nigh-impossibly, the entire ringside area has been made up like a hollywood movie set! Stage lights, carpeting, and even a smattering of reporters surround the almost more lavishly dressed ring. The canvas has been replaced with a deep purple velour, and the ring posts have all been wrapped in blinking holiday lights. If the viewer didn’t know any better, one might swear they’ve been transported to a Hollywood opening. And standing in the center of the ring, behind a pair of wooden director’s chairs, is a large board that has been covered with a black sheet. The hush from the crowd is interrupted by the blasting of a regal trumpet. Some of the crowd to be fair are sitting way too close to the trumpeter so they are clearly now deaf, but when there are trumpeters nearby, one has to cover their ears at their own risk. And these are not random trumpets, no, for they herald the arrival of the Action Wrestling Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions! With a burst of rainbow confetti and another trumpetous roar, the audience’s eyes are drawn to the entrance ramp, where the gents themselves stand. Andre Jenson, resplendent with a golden crown, seated upon a motorized throne, Teo Blaze...standing next to him with a microphone! But nothing is perhaps more beautiful than the shining gold of the newly polished Tag Team Championships that sit over both of their shoulders! In the bright light, the titles are like crown jewels upon both men. Jimmy Garcia: It’s the Two Gents!JJ Biggs: What gave it away, Jimmy?Jimmy Garcia: They promised to hold a T-shirt launch party for the fans, and it looks like they plan to deliver! Look at the glitz, the glamour, look at the pomp and circumstance!JJ Biggs: It does look pretty neat…Teo and Jenson wave with a flourish to their adoring public, and Teo flips a switch on Jenson’s throne. Briefly, for an instant, the lights in the arena drop down, and suddenly the only light source in the building is a bright neon message hidden in the frame of the throne: HAPPY BIRTHDAY. As the lights begin to come back up, Jenson flips a lever on the throne, as it begins to lurch forward down the entrance ramp. Teo, reaching into a compartment hidden on the throne’s side, begins to pull out small but brightly wrapped packages in purple and gold, and throws them to fans on either side of the ramp as they advance. Teo Blaze: Here ya go! One for you! One for you! Now don’t open ‘em quite yet, we’ll let you know when!!The fans catch the packages as the gents arrive at the ring, reporters surrounding them to get a shot of Jenson’s entrance and throne. After a moment of waving (and the last few packages tossed out by Teo) the Gents roll under the ramp together, taking a seat across from each other in their director’s chairs. Smoothly, almost lackadaisically, Teo brings the microphone up to speak. Teo Blaze: Yeah, this looks pretty good, I’d say.The audience gives an appreciative laugh as Jenson nods his head happily. Andre Jenson: I think so Teo! This is all I ever dreamed of for the first day of my week of Birthdays!Jimmy Garcia: A week? What?Andre Jenson: As you all know, I came into the world on the 18th of January. However, as is Kem tradition, as well as my Royal Right I celebrate my actual birthday and my estimated birthday.You see, I was a week late to this world. Today was the day I should have been born. Next Monday is the day I was born. So a week long celebration it is! Hurrah! And what a time to celebrate with my friend forever and tag team partner than as the CruiserClash Tag Team Champions![/b][/font] Jimmy Garcia: That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.Teo Blaze: And what better way to celebrate the birthday of the man who made this little pairing possible than by throwing a bash unlike anything Cruiserclash has ever seen before?! And that’s not all!Jimmy Garcia: Oh, I stand corrected There’s more?Teo Blaze: Now what do you get for a man who has everything? My partner is a man who has enough wealth to fulfill any wish, any desire, any small idea that enters his head into reality. So we asked ourselves, what possible gift could we give someone for whom the world is his oyster?
And that’s when it hit us. Don’t they always say it’s better to give than to receive? Isn’t it better to share the love rather than to hog it all for ourselves? So we decided that Jensons’ gift this year would be a gift not just to him, but to every single one of our fans. That’s why we have decided to celebrate the launch of our new T-shirt design, the first ever 2 Gents T-shirt released by Action Wrestling, with you, the fans!
Jenson, if you’re ready?With a nod, Jenson gestures to a pair of stagehands, who walk up to the large curtain, and after a moment of anticipation..whip it off to reveal what is beneath! There, an elaborate frame has been decorated with an oversized design showing the new 2 Gents T-shirt, in purple and gold and red! Celebrate by Kool and the Gang play at this point, funfetti blasts off around the arena, someone starts a conga line in the upper tier. Teo Blaze: Isn’t that the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen? And hey! We’re nothing if not generous, isn’t that right Jenson? So if you would direct your attention down here…Teo points to a pair of cardboard boxes, previously hidden by the curtain, which contain more of the purple and gold presents. With a nod to his partner, both gents stand and retrieve the cardboard boxes, and begin throwing them out to fans all around the ring! Fans who caught them previously begin tearing at the paper to reveal that they contain a signed 2-Gents T-shirt!! Fans begin holding their hands out as the Gents’ theme song begins playing, the pair basking in the smiles and cheers of their fans as the T-shirt stands behind them.

Reo Raijin Segment
Raijin is seen backstage in D-Day’s office as he’s breathing heavily and appears exasperated. The Man of Mask stands on the opposite sides of the desk where Raijin is standing and Deruty is seated. Reo Raijin: Deruty I’m telling you that I want Jonathan Cade at Revolution.Donald Deruty: I told you that I would consider it and we’ll see.A growl of frustration bellows from the throat of the masked man. Reo Raijin: THINK ABOUT IT!?Donald Deruty: That’s what I said Reo.Raijin slams both fist down hard upon the desk at which Donald sits. His fist remaining clenched after making the strike. Reo Raijin: We both know that this thing between myself and Jonathan Cade Keeton is only going to become more violent with each passing week. You want that Donald? Of course you do. Ratings? Right?D-Day glances down at his desk and then back up to the gaze of the eyes starting at him. Donald Deruty: It’s not about ratings regardless of what you think?Reo Raijin: You’re protecting him then?He scoffs and slide his fist off the desk. Reo Raijin: That’s it isn’t it. You, JJ Biggs, and daddy Keeton are fishing pals and now you’re watching out for the kid.For the first time Donald has a flash of anger cross his gaze. Donald Deruty: You like to push buttons don’t you? Play games? Manipulate the system? Okay. Here’s what I’m going to do Raijin. I’m gonna make this match for Revolution…Reo Raijin: But…Donald Deruty: It’s gonna have a special stipulation…Reo smirks at the ideas. Reo Raijin: Okay, and what’s that?Donald Deruty: I’ll let you know next week when I tell everybody, including you.Raijin places his hands upon the desk and lowers himself to look Deruty straight in the eyes. Reo Raijin: Okay. Mister D-Day. I’ll play your patience game with you. Just remember this Mr. In Charge Man. I’ll destroy J.C. Keeton at Revolution and then I’ll use that little card I earned last week to take that Cruiserweight Championship in February. You’re not protecting Jonathan Cade or the Champion.Deruty attempts to say something else but Raijin ignores him and walks out of the office. The camera turns back towards Deruty as he takes a pen from his desk and scribbles a note on a sheet of paper. The scene fades to commercial break before the action continues.

Main Event
Spayde Martinez vs. Miss Mae(c)
Bright strobe lights flash around the arena as "Running Up That Hill" by Placebo starts up through the speakers. The song builds, showing visuals of Miss Mae watching Lissie Hope matches and moments on her television set. The video fades to side by side pictures of Lissie and Mae until they overlap, really demonstrating just how Mae idolizes her. "If only I could make a deal with God | And get him to swap our places..." Once the music finally kicks in, out from the back steps Miss Mae to a chorus of cheers, her AW Cruiserweight Champion in hand. She paces down the ramp, staring up in wonder at the sheer of number of people in the audience, and a smile slowly draws on her face. She makes it down to the ring, and rolls under the ropes, coming to a knee. She places the title on the ground in front of her, and seems to be praying in the middle of the ring. Finally, she rises to her feet and points at the crowd, gaining more confidence by the second. Adilene Floyd: Ladies and gentlemen, from Wellesley, Massachusetts... the AW Cruiserweight Champion… MISS MAE!Jimmy Garcia: This is the first time Miss Mae has come to the ring with the Cruiserweight Championship in hand, and she is really appreciating the moment! You have to give the young woman credit, J.J.! Just a couple of short months ago, she was sacking groceries and writing her musings on Twitter, and now she finds herself as the face of CruiserClash!JJ Biggs: Her run to the top was not only improbable, but a goddamn travesty! People train for YEARS to climb to the top of the ranks in the greatest company in the world, and this… little GIRL… uses her connections to fly with a rocket strapped to her ass!Jimmy Garcia: At least you didn’t call her a bitch. That’s progress!JJ Biggs: This little leech is going to not only get exposed tonight, but destroyed! And I can’t wait to see it!Jimmy Garcia: I hope you know you’re going to be the only person worldwide who will be cheering for Spayde Martinez tonight.Before Mae can hand her Cruiserweight Championship off to the timekeeper, she asks Adeline Floyd if she could have the microphone. The fans go crazy as her music dims, and she looks all around at the crowd who have gotten solidly behind her. Miss Mae: I know I’m not the biggest girl in the world. I might even be the smallest. I flex my arms, and there’s no muscle to measure. I’ve never gotten any formal training. My fingers will probably break if I throw a punch. I don’t have an intimidating bone in my body.The fans are quiet, soaking in every word she’s saying. Her honesty and self-awareness is a heavy contrast to the bravado everyone carries themselves with. Miss Mae: I have so many doubters, and for good reason. So many people don’t think I’m going to carry this Championship forward. They think I snaked myself into CruiserHavoc, and slithered my way through it till I found an opportunity to throw out Kaz Mazy. And then I survived Spayde, just long enough, after she thought she had the match won. I found my way back in the ring and used her own aggression against her, and sent her toppling over the ropes. I did that… even if no one thought I could.The fans begin roaring now, beginning to chant “MAE! MAE!” Miss Mae: I didn’t even think I could do that!Her cadence gets louder, as her confidence is growing. Miss Mae: I showed that all you need is heart. When you don’t have an intimidating bone in your body, or any skill at all --JJ Biggs: At least she admits it!Miss Mae: -- but it didn’t matter. Winning this Championship has been the single greatest accomplishment of my life.The crowd is roaring now. Miss Mae: But I can’t defend it. Not against the former champions who have elevated this belt to the highest levels like Teo Blaze and Kaz Mazy. Not against the great women who have the courage and the fight to defend it in the future like Vivan Rae Jade and Alice and Sara Pettis. And not against the person who wants to take it off my waist tonight, Spayde Martinez.The crowd quiets to a confused murmur, digesting what she just admitted. JJ Biggs: See?? I told you she was a coward!Jimmy Garcia: Let her finish! There’s a but… there HAS to be a but!Miss Mae: It’s true. I can’t defend this belt. So I’m here to issue a compromise. Please, join me out here, Spayde.A few moments pass before “Ace of Spades” hits the speakers. The cameras search the arena looking for Miss Mae’s opponent. They eventually come to discover Spayde Martinez making her way through the crowd. Spayde jumps the security railing and climbs into the ring. Slung over her shoulder is her beautiful and extravagant title belt unlike any belt in Action Wrestling with a large women’s empowerment symbol - ♀️ - embossed in a flat black against the silver and gold of the belt’s metal plate. Spayde slides under the bottom rope of the ring and comes face to face with Miss Mae, who is having trouble making eye contact with the intimidating force in front of her. Spayde wears a smirk on her face. Miss Mae: I don’t want to fight you tonight, Spayde. Please, here me out.Spayde adjusts her Women’s Championship on her shoulder and motions with her hand that the floor is hers. Miss Mae: This title, this Cruiserweight Championship, means more to you than it does me. I know that you want to use it to propel you to the greatest heights, and in some ways, I feel like you deserve it. So I’m willing to lay it at your feet.Mae cautiously approaches Spayde and gets down to a knee, placing the belt down near her boots. The crowd begins to boo mercilessly. JJ Biggs: I can’t believe what I’m seeing here tonight! This is ridiculous! What a scared little puppy!Jimmy Garcia: I think Mae just realizes this is a fight she cannot win!Spayde watches her and rips the mic from her hand when she gets back to her feet. Spayde Martinez: Pick the fucking thing up. Hand it to me!Mae is shocked by the comment, but begins to oblige, reaching down for the belt. Spayde Martinez: I’m glad you came to your senses. You know I’d fucking kill you otherwise, so hand it over.Spayde’s aggressiveness gives Mae pause, as she wants to maintain even just a modicum of dignity. She takes a step back in defiance. Spayde Martinez: I take shits bigger than you, Mae. You’re still shopping in the goddamn junior’s section, little girl. But that belt is made for fucking adults. HAND! IT! TO! ME!Mae grabs the title but then backs up a few more steps, now holding the belt in her palms, staring at the nameplate that reads “Miss Mae”. Her eyes start to well up. Spayde Martinez: You can give it to me now, like a good little girl, or I can beat you to a pulp and take it anyway. The choice is yours.The fan reaction is starting to grow as Mae looks out into the crowd. They desperately want her to fight for her championship! Mae raises the microphone to her lips. Miss Mae: You can have it, Spayde --The crowd groans. Jimmy Garcia: NO, MAE! NOT LIKE THIS!Miss Mae: -- but I want the Women’s Championship instead!Spayde’s eyes pop out of her sockets as the crowd gets energized again! Miss Mae: I want to put my name on that Women’s Championship and be a leader for every girl in that locker room, and every girl in the audience that looks up to us! I want to inspire, to make that title mean something more than what it does right now! You want to bring honor to the Cruiserweight Championship… but I want to bring meaning to the Women’s Championship! I want to do this for Lissie!The fans are roaring now with approval of this proposed compromise. Miss Mae: I think it’s a fair trade, Spayde. You get the Cruiserweight Championship, and I get the Women’s Championship. No blood has to be spilled.Spayde is thinking very hard about the proposition. She removes the belt from her shoulder and looks over at Mae, who is very enthusiastic about handing over the Cruiserweight belt. Spayde has a grip of the Cruiserweight, and carefully extends the Women’s to Mae. But before the exchange can happen, Spayde says one more thing. Spayde Martinez: No deal.Spayde rips back her Women’s title and swings the belt at Mae’s head, but Mae ducks underneath! The referee slides into position and calls for the bell! Jimmy Garcia: And this match for the Cruiserweight Championship is underway, despite Mae’s protestations!JJ Biggs: This little coward wasn’t going to get out of this that easy!Both belts drop to the canvas and the referee ushers them out. Spayde lays into Mae with a pair of solid right hands. Spayde is starting to get the upper hand, each right hand landing harder than the one before. She rears back, with all the power she can muster, and tries to punch Mae’s head off her shoulders… but Mae moves out of the way just in time, Spayde’s hand ricocheting off the turnbuckle! Mae lands a kick to Spayde’s stomach, and then another, really gaining some momentum with the crowd responding louder with every strike! She leaves her feet, going for a front dropkick, but doesn’t get enough height. Spayde, with a hand on Mae’s stomach, forces her down, landing awkwardly on her back. Spayde drives a boot into Mae’s mouth and then toys with her, pushing her headfirst into the corner. She then digs her heel into Mae’s neck, leaving her choking for air as she tries to survive! Jimmy Garcia: This is hard to watch! Spayde is just too strong, too vicious! Mae doesn’t have an answer for this!JJ Biggs: She should have never stepped in a ring to begin with! What the hell was she thinking??Spayde lifts Mae up after the referee breaks the choke. She drops Mae down with a snap suplex, taking a second to admire her opponent hurting, grabbing the small of her back. She pulls Mae up forcefully and whips her to the ropes, and on the return flips her up and over for a tilt a whirl backbreaker… but Mae counters it into a DDT out of nowhere! The fans explode and even Mae has a look of shock on her face! Jimmy Garcia: Is that the first offensive move that Mae has successfully landed??JJ Biggs: I’m… I’m speechless.Spayde recovers in the corner, completely shocked by the maneuever. Mae then challenges Spayde to bring it on, and Spayde smirks before coming in driving a knee. But Mae sidesteps it and trips Spayde’s feet from under her, her face smacking the apron! Spayde is starting to get irritated now, and comes in looking for a clothesline, but Mae reverses it into a hip-toss! Mae is starting to get the momentum now! A couple of wild elbows to Spayde’s jaw, and she uses all of the power in her 95 pound frame to whip Spayde into the corner, and she hits the turnbuckle with a thud! Jimmy Garcia: Oh my god! Mae with a flurry!Mae comes running in, flying with a stinger splash… but Spayde sidesteps it and Mae hits the corner hard! JJ Biggs: Good!Spayde grabs her by the waist and delivers a brutal release german suplex, Mae folding up like an accordion! Spayde spits out a mix of blood and saliva from her mouth and wastes no time pouncing on Mae’s back, locking in the brutal shoulder lock that she damaged Vivian Rae Jade’s arm with last week! Mae’s arm extends at a painful angle and she’s screaming in agony! Jimmy Garcia: Just tap, Mae! It’s not worth it!JJ Biggs: HAHA! I DON’T THINK THIS IDIOT KNOWS WHAT SHE’S SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN SHE WANTS TO GIVE UP!Jimmy Garcia: Maybe she isn’t giving up!The fans quiet to a hush, and you can hear Mae’s pained screams echo through the arena! The referee verbally asks Mae if she quits, and she nods her head, and the referee calls for the bell! Adilene Floyd: The winner… and NEW---But Adilene’s announcement is cut short as Spayde shows no intention of releasing that painful shoulder lock! Instead, she locks it on tighter, shaking Mae like a rag doll as her shoulder looks like it’s going to be pulled out from the socket! The referee is pleading with her to stop, but Spayde readjusts her position, tightening it even more! Mae looks like she’s about to pass out from the pain, but the crowd explodes when Vivian Rae Jade and Sara Pettis emerge from backstage, running down the ramp! Jimmy Garcia: Thank god! Help has arrived!Spayde finally lets go when they approach the ring and she rolls out, ripping the Cruiserweight and Women’s Championships out of Adeline’s hands! Miss Mae is in tears in the middle of the ring as her friends try to console her. Spayde backpedals up the ramp, screaming at the fans who are shouting at her, pelting her with trash, and booing her out of the arena! Jimmy Garcia: What a disgusting display! We have a new Cruiserweight Champion, folks, but nobody feels good about what we saw here tonight!JJ Biggs: Even I can admit that Spayde went too far. But the lesson needed to be taught, Jimmy! You can’t hold that Cruiserweight title and not know a damn thing about wrestling!Jimmy Garcia: Mae has so much heart, so much determination. She was a champion to be proud of! And now, we will see what comes from this, but I think this was a horrible win. Spayde holding that belt, and winning this way, is such disrespect to the legacy of that belt. But the reality is setting in, JJ. Spayde Martinez IS the new Cruiserweight Champion!JJ Biggs: And she sent a message tonight, to everyone in that locker room! That does it for us, we’ll see you next week!“Ace of Spades” blares over the speakers as Spayde Martinez stands at the top of the ramp, holding both championships high up in the air, as the scene fades to black!
