Carter Shaw Segment
The cameras cut back up to the Presidential viewing area, Joe Biden clearly having a ball as he clears his throat quite a bit, possibly losing his voice from the cheering and yelling. Beside him, still, is the calm Guest Of Honor, Carter Shaw. Things simmer down as the President looks back over to his new pal. President Joe Biden: What do you think about AW bringing in more African Americans? I notice that there’s alot of white competitors here, which is fine, but don’t you think we can change that ratio a bit?Carter Shaw: Yes sir, I would be all for that. I don’t really have that kind of power though, but I support that thought.President Joe Biden: You’re Philidor, aren’t ya?Carter Shaw: Yes.President Joe Biden: You have more power than you think, son...Speaking of power, let’s talk about little more about this briefcase of yours, Carter. So tonight when your ‘affiliate’ Ash Blake goes for Corey Black’s World Title...what do you do?Carter Shaw: Well, Mr. President, maybe I do nothing. Maybe I keep sitting here, talking with you, enjoying the show. Maybe I see what happens and trust that Ash Blake will CONTINUE to prove people wrong in that ring...Then again, Mr. President, if you turn over to say something during that main event and see an empty chair? I may...just have briefcase business to attend to.President Joe Biden: So you could use it mid match? After the match? Does it matter?Carter Shaw: With this…Shaw picks up the briefcase and slaps a hand on to the Philidor logo across the steel front. Carter Shaw: I call the shots. I could go find Corey Black right this instant, knock him the hell out, and cash this in to pin The King Of Wrestlers here at your new beautiful home. I could choke him out while he’s takin’ a piss. I could go out there right before the bell rings and ADD myself to the match and have it be Corey Black defending his title against Ash Blake...AND Carter Shaw.President Joe Biden: You really do have more power than you think, Carter. So many options…Carter Shaw: Yes, so many options...And Corey Black knows better than anyone. I will do what I want with this contract, Mr. President. Not what anyone THINKS I SHOULD do with it. My call.President Joe Biden: Even Ms. Blake?Carter Shaw: Excuse me?President Joe Biden: You say it’s your call, but does Ms. Ash Blake have a strong say in that as your Philidor affiliate?Carter Shaw: ...maybe.The president is loving every minute of the conversation, clearly growing into an AW SUPERFAN, as cameras cut away from Biden and Shaw to return to the ring area.

Der Metzger vs. Odin Balfore(c) Adilene Floyd: The following match is scheduled for one fall!Marks: ONE FALL! Adilene Floyd: And it is for the Action Wrestling United States Championship!The sound of Jimi Hendrix blares over the lawn and highlights of past United States Championship victories appear on the screen over the entrance stage, ending with Odin Balfrore’s recent victory over Howard Black. The montage ends and an eerie hum fills the earholes of the thousands in attendance. The ActionTron5000 lights up with violent and possibly satanic images. The hum morphs into “Ora Pro Nobis Lucifer” by Behemoth and a masked man emerges from the smoke filled stage. Der Metzger staggers down the ramp, exhibiting and barely controlling an urge to attack the fans in attendance. Der Metzger makes it to the ring and he slides in, moving jaggedly to the corner to pace back and forth. Adilene Floyd stands outside of the ring, avoiding Der Metzger like der schwarze tod. Adilene Floyd: Introducing first… the number one contender… already in the ring… he resides in Devil’s Gate Correctional Facility in Castle Rock, Maine… DERRR METZGERRRRR!!!The fans boo, not because of anything he has done yet, but because he is creepy. “With Odin On Our Side” hits public address system. The fans get to their feet to catch a glimpse of the stage. The fans stand and cheer and once the vocals starts, there stands Odin Balfore, centre stage. Odin stares down at the ring with a sinister grin as the fans sing along with the chorus. Crowd: Futile to resist! You know why we have come! Futile to resist... the battle is.. already won! Adilene Floyd: Introducing the current... reigning... defending... Action Wrestling United States Champion…Crowd: Futile to resist! You know why we have come! Futile to resist... the battle is.. already won! Adilene Floyd: OOOOOOOOOOODIN!!! BAAAAAAAAALFOOOOOOOORE!!!!!The fans pop insanely right after as Odin begins to walk down the ramp at a slow and methodical pace. Once he gets to the foot of the ring, he steps up on it and looks around the arena again before stepping over the ropes. Crowd: Futile to resist! You know why we have come! Futile to resist... Odin cuts off the fans as he raises his hand in triumph. Odin turns back to the ring as the fans finish their part. Crowd: The battle is... already won! Odin stares down his opponent as he waits for the match to get underway. The official calls for the opening bell as both competitors continue to death stare one another down from across the ring. Odin is the first to step to the middle and he motions out a line in front of him, daring Der Metzger to cross it. Der Metzger cracks his neck and then charges forward, only to be met with a big boot from Odin! Billy: SHITFIRE! ALREADY?!Der Metzger hits the mat and Odin wastes no time, mounting the challenger while laying in a heavy stream of clubbing blows. Der Metzger keeps his hands up, trying to protect his face. Odin is relentless in his attack and quickly warned by the official to let up. Odin looks up for one moment and this gives Der Metzger the opening to grab ahold of Odin’s thumb and-- Chris Avery: WHAT THE FUCK?!Billy: DID HE JUST BREAK ODIN’S THUMB?!Odin breaks away from Der Metzger, holding the thumb of his left hand that may be dislocated. He pushes it back into place and then goes to Der Metzger, who is now sitting up. Odin goes behind him and locks on a reak naked choke, despite both of them wearing clothes. Der Metzger struggles as Odin has a sick smile on his face, while cracking on the head of the challenger. Der Metzger struggles to breathe and he reaches up with both arms, trying to find Odin’s head. Once located, he drives his thumbs into the eyes of the champion until the hold is released. Odin backs off and goes to the corner, with the official checking on him. Chris Avery: Odin Balfore didn’t see that coming!Billy: HEY!Der Metzger slowly gets to his feet, regaining his ability to breathe properly. Der Metzger sees Odin in the corner and he nods his head, then charges in full speed. The referee moves out of the way just in time to not get squashed, and Der Metzger clobbers Odin with a splash. Der Metzger then grabs onto Odin’s head and lays in a series of headbutts, breaking the giant down. He backs away and Odin sits on the mat, resting in the corner, possibly experiencing concussion symptoms. The official again checks on him as Der Metzger runs to the opposite corner and back again, nailing the champion with a reckless cannonball in the corner. Billy: SWEET EIGHT POUND SIX OUNCE BABY JESUS!Chris Avery: DER METZGER IS DRAGGING HIM OUT OF THE CORNER AND THERE'S THE COVER!ONE ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Der Metzger pounds the mat and then gets to his feet. He wraps his arms around Odin's head and pulls him up. He yells some shit in German or whatever, then hits the ropes. On the way back, Odin surprises him with a popup motherfuckin' powerbomb. Billy: STORM BREAKERRRRRRR!!!!!Chris Avery: THERE'S THE COVER!ONE! TWO! THR--KICKOUT!! Billy: DER METZGER GOT DROPPED ON-A-BACK-A HIS GOT-DANG HEAD!Odin resets and goes back to laying in those heavy hands. Der Metzger successfully covers up, not letting Odin knock his ass out. Odin gets to his feet and he shakes his fist in rage. The fans go fucking bonkers as he holds his fist up, staring and nodding at it. Chris Avery: WE KNOW WHAT'S COMING!Der Metzger slowly pushes up to his feet, then staggers toward Odin, who winds up and throws that knockout punch… but Der Metzger ducks under with a waistlock and goes for a German Suplex (obviously) but Odin doesn't budge. Billy: HE AIN'T GONNA TAKE THAT SEQUIOA OF A MAN DOWN!Der Metzger headbutts the fuck out of Odin's back while he has the champion trapped before-- Billy: SHITFIRE! HE DID IIIIIT!Chris Avery: DER METZGER JUST GERMAN SUPLEXED THE FUCK OUTTA ODIN BALFORE!Both men took a beating from that maneuver and neither is moving. As the referee starts to count, the crowd roars as an old man wearing a puffy jacket and mittens starts walking down the ramp. Billy: BERNIE IS HERE!Chris Avery: BUT WHY?!He walks over to Adilene and kindly asks for her microphone. Bernie Sanders: I AM ONCE AGAIN ASKING YOU TO CONSIDER ME AS A CANDIDATE FOR UNITED STATES CHAMPION!The crowd goes fucking wild. He approaches the ring as Metzger and Odin are both woozily to their feet. They both look confused as Bernie tries climbing up onto the apron before Secret Service rushes to the ring to protect him from himself. Metzger shoves Odin out of the way and doesn't hesitate to suicide dive between the ropes, taking down several members of the Secret Service while the rest hurry Bernie to safety. Billy: WHAT IN THE HECKIN FUCK WAS THAT?!!1Der Metzger pushes off of the fallen men and gets back to the ring. He climbs back up on the apron just in time to eat a fucking knockout punch! Chris Avery: SURTR'S REVENGE!!!!Der Metzer falls off the apron onto the men, just as they were starting to get to their feet. Billy: IT'S PANDE-HECKIN-MONIUM!Odin threatens the referee to not end this on a count out because that's no way for a champion to win. He exits the ring and reaches down, grabbing Der Metzger by the throat. He pulls the challenger up and lifts him up for a chokeslam and-- Billy: RAGNARO--OHNO!Chris Avery: DER METZGER GOT AHOLD OF ODIN'S THUMB AGAIN!He sure as fuck did. He bent that sumbitch so bad that Odin had to release the hold. Der Metzger shoulders Odin in the gut, then rams him back into the barricade. He backs off and Odin charges at him. He goes around in a waistlock and then pushes Odin into the edge of the ring apron, then-- Billy: SNAP GERMAN SUPLEX ONTO THE SECRET SERVICE!The crowd is losing their shit over this action packed action. Both men are down. Secret Service is down. A ruckus occurs in the crowd as a group of men pushes through the fans, then over the barricade. Billy: BLACK GATE IS HERE!Chris Avery: Ummm… it's actually Devil's Gate, pal…Twiztid Insane, D, Void, and a handful of unknowns are led by Pete Harper. They work together to scrape up both competitors and rolls them into the ring. Pete yells in for Der Metzger to make the cover. Billy: HERE WE GO!ONE! TWO! THREE!! DING DING DING Billy: WHAT THE HELL!?Chris Avery: DID DER.. DID.. WHAT?!Billy: DER METZGER JUST WON THE US TITLE!!The crowd can't believe it as Der Metzger gets up and the ref hands him the US Championship.. Billy: METZGER WITH A HUGE UPSET VICTORY OF ODIN!! THIS WAS ONE WILD MATCH!Chris Avery: I .. IM .. IM SPEECHLESS!!Metzger gets out of the ring as the rest of them jump the barricade and secret service and its just so much chaos.. Billy: METZGER IS US CHAMPION!!Chris Avery: DER METZGER IS THE UNITED STATES CHAMPION!! MY GOD.. WHAT ELSE IS GOING TO HAPPEN TONIGHT?!We fade out..

The Outsiders Try To Get In Billy: Revolution is already off to a hot st-Chris Avery: What's happening?We cut to a back guarded area where White House security, secret service, and AW security are keeping three men from trying to get in. Billy: Wait! We know them?! That's Southern Championship Wrestling's World Champion, US Champion and TV Champion!Indeed it is, Joe Smoke, Bobby Ray Cash and General Lee trying to shove their way in. They throw some men down but more security is keeping them back. General Lee: YOU LET US IN!! WE HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HERE!! AW IS NEGOTIATING TO BUY US BUT WONT SEE US FACE TO FACE?!! WE HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HERE!!Joe Smoke, the taller World Champion throws down a guard and hits another one with a stiff strike but they're clearly outnumbered. General Lee: YOU LET US IN RIGHT NOW!! WE HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE HERE!!They continue pushing back and forth and SCW Outsiders just can't get a break. General Lee: WE WILL SEE YOU ON CLASH THEN!! YOU TREAT US LIKE THIS?! THEN WE TREAT YOU EVEN WORSE!!Lee, Smoke and Cash turn away and grab their titles as more guards continue to escort them out. They're yelling and talking trash at the guards and security as they walk away. Billy: What is with them?!Chris Avery: AW is negotiating to buy SCW? I didn't know!Billy: Very odd!

Accountability
The camera opens up in a quiet locker room. We hear the strike of a match, before two hands delicately hover over a candle, lighting the wick. The light luminates a picture of Robbie Hope on the top shelf of the locker room, and the camera spins back to reveal Lissie Hope! The fans erupt with cheers. Jenna Bauer: You’ve taken breaks before, Lissie. What does the return mean to you, this time?Lissie Hope: This is about accountability.Lissie grabs the picture and runs her finger along the outline of his portrait. Lissie Hope: Somewhere along the way, I forgot why I was doing this. Who I was doing this for. I let my rage, and my denial -- I let it blind me. I let it control me. I’ve made mistakes, Jenna. So many goddamn mistakes.Her voice trails off and Jenna places a hand on her shoulder. Jenna Bauer: But you’re here now. And Action Wrestling is better off for it.Lissie Hope: We’ll see.There’s a lull in the room as Lissie places the photo back on the top shelf of her locker cabinet. Jenna Bauer: Are you worried about having any ring rust? It’s been two months since you stepped between the ropes.Lissie Hope: A little.A pause, as she turns to face Jenna. Lissie Hope: But even if I’m half as good as I once was, I’m still two-times the wrestler Spayde ever will be.The fans erupt with cheers as Lissie’s confidence grows. Lissie Hope: I need to hold myself accountable, Jenna. I need to fix what once seemed irreparable. And that starts tonight. That starts with me coming down that ramp, stepping across the ring from Spayde Martinez, and showing the goddamn world that even if I was broken, I’m not beyond repair. I’m here to do what Spayde can’t — and what she won’t — and that’s be a leader in this locker room for every woman who laces up their boots. For every little girl in the audience that idolizes us. To usher in change. To inspire hope. And as President Biden eloquently says: “to lead not by the example of my power, but the power of my example.”The crowd erupts into a “USA! USA!” chant after a quick cut to a clapping President Biden. Lissie Hope: I’m not scared anymore, Jenna. I was, once. I let the fame and the success ruin me, and it nearly put me in the grave. But I’ve learned a lot the last two months. I’ve learned to be what I’ve always been meant to be.A pause. Lissie Hope: The first.The cheers crescendo. Lissie Hope: The only.Jenna can’t control her smiling. Lissie Hope: The Heroine of Action Wrestling!Jenna allows the cheering to die down before continuing. Jenna Bauer: That was incredibly moving.Jenna watches as Lissie lights a row of candles, giving the dim light in the locker room warmth. Jenna Bauer: We all know how much being a leader in the women’s locker room means to you.Howard Black: Is this the Women’s locker room?The camera spins back to find Howie Black standing in the doorway. Jenna looks rather confused, and there’s a murmur in the crowd. Howard Black: What the hell are you ladies doing? What’s with the candles? This a seance?Lissie Hope: Are you lost, boy?Howard Black: Cute.Lissie looks up at Howie and smiles, before walking right up to him and burying her head in his chest. Howie gently hugs back. Howard Black: Welcome back, kid. Hell of a new tag line you’re running with.Lissie Hope: It doesn’t beat yours.Lissie takes a step back and straddles the bench, and Howie moves across from her. Howard Black: Are you ready?Lissie Hope: Are you?Jenna Bauer is curious now. Jenna Bauer: I should lea-- should I leave?Howard Black: We’re just friends, Jenna. No need to go running to TMZ or anything.Lissie Hope: Howie’s been a rock the last couple of months. Helped me keep my head on straight. Went and saw me in the hospital and everything.Howard Black: I had to sneak in there. Security was tight.Howard reaches into his bag and pulls out something wrapped in a paper bag, the glass bottles clanking. Lissie’s eyes widen, and she instinctively shakes her head ‘no’. Howie smiles and reveals a couple of Topo Chico’s. Unscrewing the lids, he hands one over to her and they toast with the tips of the bottles. Howard Black: You ready to make that Women’s title mean something?Lissie nods her head but it drops, and Howie gently lifts her chin up with a finger, reassuring her. Jenna observes quietly, until the door squeaks open after a light knuckle knock. Spencer Adams head peaks in, and there’s a confusion in his eyes. And Lissie’s light up. Lissie Hope: Hi!Spencer enters and Lissie jumps up from the bench and gives him a huge hug. Spencer Adams: It’s good to see you. You look great.Lissie smiles in gratitude. There’s an awkwardness hovering in the air now. Jenna Bauer: Well, this locker room is popular tonight. I guess everyone just wanted to see you, Lissie.Spencer Adams gently removes himself from the hug, his eyes darting over to Howie conspicuously. He grabs Lissie by both of her hands and looks out of the room quickly. Spencer Adams: Lissie, there’s someone who’d really like to meet you.Lissie is totally confused now, but the doors open up, and two tall men dressed in suits and wearing earpieces enter the room, followed by none other than Vice President Kamala Harris! The fans explode with cheers as Lissie’s completely shook! Kamala’s eyes wrinkle, her smile emanating from underneath her N95 mask. She extends her hand, and Lissie nervously shakes it. Vice President Kamala Harris: Come with me, Lissie. I’d like to chat.

Stuart Slane vs. Howard Black Adilene Floyd: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!Billy: Oh, yeah it’s time! Here we go!The intro to “(Turn You) Inside Out” by REM plays through the venue’s sound system. When the drums kick in Stuart Slane and Circe Cicero stalk out onto the stage. Adilene Floyd: Accompanied by His Friend, Circe Cicero; hailing from Grant, Iowa and weighing 270 pounds: Stuart Slane!Chris Avery: Two weeks ago on Clash, Stuart Slane demanded Action Wrestling book this match.The pair stop and glare towards the ring before slowly making their way down the ramp. As the song’s lyrics start Slane drops to his knees, extends his arms out while throwing his head back skyward in supplication to the 'Wrestling Gods'. Circe stands beside him, hands on hips, nodding in approval. Billy: Slane’s made it clear how much winning this fight matters. He said it was for his legacy!Stu bounds up and begins walking faster with Circe alongside. She's in his ear, talking, gesticulating, and psyching him up. Stu grins and nods. When they reach the apron Slane mounts the steps, looks out into the crowd, then ducks inside the ring. Circe remains outside clapping and shouting final words of encouragement while Stu moves to his corner and uses the ropes to stretch. Chris Avery: He’s made the stakes impossibly high for himself, given his opponent.The lights in the arena go to black, with only the giant screen above the stage displaying intensifying white streaks as the violins beginning "Endzeit" by Heaven Shall Burn swell. As the guitar and screams blare through the speakers, words splash themselves across the ActionTron: "It's Such a Long Way Down" From the curtain emerges Howard Black in a black hooded sweatshirt and black wrestling pants. White lions decorate the sides of his legs - a silver crucifix hangs from his neck. Billy: You got a point there, pardner, but this man has put some pressure on himself as well.Adilene Floyd: Making his way to the ring from Lincoln, NE and weighing 215 lbs... "the Lost Boy" HOWARD BLACK!Howard makes his way down the ramp, his eyes focused on the ring and his attention largely removed from the roar of the crowd around him. At the base of the ring, he looks up and stares into the center of the squared circle. A moment of contemplation passes before he turns and crosses to the stairs, climbing them and entering the ring between the middle and top rope. Chris Avery: It’s funny to think that, but you’re right. Howard Black was Action’s Wrestler of the Year in 2020. He’s beaten Slane twice already. But 2021 has not been kind for “The Lost Boy”.Once inside, he sweeps his hood from his and head crosses the mat to the far turnbuckle. He climbs to the second rope and looks over the crowd, his face stern and stoic. With deliberate purpose, he takes a moment to absorb the crowd reaction. Billy: He lost a shot for the AW World Title one week and his United States Championship the next. By his own standards, that’s floundering, and he knows a third straight loss moves him further away from his goals.Dropping back to the mat, he crosses to his corner and removes his sweatshirt and crucifix necklace, which he gives a kiss before carefully storing it away. Turning back to the ring, he waits for the match to begin, leaning back in repose until the bell rings. Chris Avery: There’s personal animus between these men too, Billy. Kind of a shame, given at one point they respected each other.Billy: Maybe, but that just adds more fuel to the fire. This is going to be a damn war, I can feel it.The referee calls both men to the center of the ring. He gives instructions. Slane’s all energy, bouncing on the balls of his feet, eagerly awaiting the bell. From the outside Circe is talking highly literate trash. Howie ignores her taunts and just watches the bigger man impassively, not reacting but clearly not intimidated. The bell rings. And we’re underway! Slane and Black exchange stiff forearm shivs. Howie gains the upper hand and judo flips a rocked Stu to the mat. He follows that up with a bionic elbow. Slane rolls away, clutching the top of his dome. Black pursues. He kicks at Stu’s midsection when he’s on all fours. Pulling him up he tries for a German suplex, but catches an elbow to the side of the head. Stu spins that into an inverted headlock backbreaker. Kicking and stomping at Howard’s kidneys, he eventually pulls Howard up for a bear hug. He ragdolls Howard for a bit and then throws him to the mat. Stu charges Black who hits an armdrag, which he follows up with a keylock armbar, and then a handstand knee drop to Stu’s elbow. Chris Avery: Both Black and Slane trying to soften the other early for their submission finisher, with Howie targeting the arm, and Stu the back.Slane sits up favoring his afflicted arm. Howard shoot kicks him repeatedly until Stu is able to catch one leg. Black connects with a shining knee, forcing Stu to let go. He scrabbles to his feet and tries for a front chancery, but Slane shoves him away and rolls outside. The crowd boos the ex-Scoutmaster as he dilly-dallies, trying to recover. Howard waits a few moments, but when the referee starts to count Stu out he rolls outside to confront him. Stu rushes him, but Howie puts him down with a drop toe hold. Howie pulls him up and tries to lift him onto the apron, but Stu breaks free and hits a throat thrust uppercut. He Irish whips Howard into the barricade, and then rolls back inside. The referee stops the count, but Stu yells at him to resume. Billy: Sheeeet, is Slane really trying to win this by countout?Chris Avery: I think he’s trying to catch Howard in a vulnerable spot.Indeed, for when Howard tries to reenter the ring Slane runs to the apron and again starts kicking at him. The referee orders him back, then pushes him back when he doesn’t relent. Stu hollers at him, leading to the ref tugging at his jersey to remind the big man who wears the stripes. Howard, meanwhile, has gotten to his feet. The two exchange angry glares, then cautiously circle one another before locking up. Stu gets Howie in a standing side headlock which Howie transitions into a fireman’s carry takedown. He follows that up with a short arm scissors. Chris Avery: Again Black’s targeting Slane’s arm, laying the groundwork for the Kimura.Stu struggles to escape. Eventually he muscles his way to his knees, trying to force Howie’s shoulders to the mat, but Black repositions himself and maintains the hold. Stu grabs his caught arm with his free hand and lifts Black bodily off the ground. Billy: Dammit, that man is strong.As Slane deadlifts Howard high with the intent of slamming him back down, he stumbles back towards the apron. He hits the ropes, and the men flip over them ass over tea kettle outside. Both take a nasty bump. The hold is broken, as Howard grabs at his head while Stu does the same with his left arm. He kicks at the ground and screams in agony. Circe runs to check on him while the ref slips out of the ring to do the same with Howie. Chris Avery: That was a bad spill but it appears- whoa look at Slane’s arm!!!!Stuart rolls over and sits up, revealing the source of his pain: his left arm is bent awkwardly, and his humerus bone bulges out under his skin. Billy: I think Stuart Slane dislocated his shoulder, Chris!Stuart lurches to his feet with the help of Circe. The referee rushes to Stu’s side but is ordered away. Howard, finally realizing Stu’s condition, watches with concern. He takes a cautious step towards Stu, asking if he’s alright. Billy: Stu can’t compete with a bum shoulder. They’re going to have to call off the match. It’s a damn shame- Shitfire!Without warning, Stu lashes out and creams Howard with a big boot! He stomps on the downed Lost Boy a bit, ignoring the ref again, still holding his arm. Then, he turns, eyeing the closest ringpost. Gritting his teeth, he rushes at it, slamming his afflicted shoulder into it. He does it a second time, and a third, until he finally lets go of his arm and gives it an experimental rotation. Chris Avery: Slane just popped his shoulder back into place!Billy: Don’t think I’ve ever seen that!Slane grins unpleasantly at a still groggy Howard. He charges, connecting with another boot to the mush, and then lifts him back into the ring. Slane rolls inside as well. He tries to pin Howard, but Black kicks out at One! Stu herks him up for a rib breaker, and then a belly to belly side suplex. Another cover. One! Tw- kick out! Stu shakes his head and pulls Howie up, whipping him to the ropes. When Black caroms back Stu tries to connect with a clothesline Howie ducks under and hits a sling blade! The two struggle to a vertical base but Howie’s quicker to recover. He kicks Stu in the gut, hits a snap DDT, and then locks in a front chancery. Black shows off his own strength by viciously shaking the much larger Stu. Chris Avery: Pitbull Lock!Howie, maintaining the hold, pulls Stu up to a vertical base. He knees Slane in the gut several times, and then resumes ragdolling him. Suddenly, Circe enters the ring. She confronts the ref, pointing at Howard, and then grabbing at her own throat. Billy: Oh, come on! That’s not a choke! Get her out of there, ref!The referee does just that, but the distraction works, as Stu low blows Howard when the ref is ushering a smirking Circe to the ropes. Black releases the hold and drops to his knees. Slane clubs at Howard’s neck and back, and then lifts him up for a pumphandle gutbuster. He flips Black over and puts him in an inverted cloverleaf. Chris Avery: Slane has Howard Knotted Up!!Howard grimaces in pain as his back is torqued. Slowly, he crawls forward, moving towards the ropes, forcing Slane along with him.. Stu starts shaking his head, screaming at Howie to tap. Undeterred, Black keeps moving, and lunges to make the rope break. Circe pops up from behind the apron and pulls the bottom cable out of reach! Billy: Aw, c’mon!After Howie belly flops to the canvas Stu drags him back to the middle of the ring and puts Black in body scissors, adding to the pressure. Billy: This is ridiculous! Do something ref! DQ Slane! Or at least eject Circe!Chris Avery: It might be academic at this point, Billy. Slane’s got Howard Black right where he wants him.The ref, after giving Cicero another warning, goes to check on Howard, asking him if he submits. Black shakes his head. Again, he starts to crawl, using his forearms, ignoring the agony of the hold, inching to the ropes. Chris Avery: I don’t believe this! Howard Black is dragging 270 pounds of dead weight across the ring using just his upper body strength!Billy: Do it, Howie! Don’t give up! Don’t give them the satisfaction!Howie inexorably keeps moving towards the apron, staring daggers at a dumbstruck Circe. He shakes his head again when the ref asks if he wants to quit. He bites his bottom lip to distract himself from the pain, drawing blood. Finally, when he’s close enough so that Circe can’t stop him, he grabs the rope. Huge pop from the crowd! The ref orders Slane to break the hold, but he refuses. The ref starts his DQ count. One! Two! Three! Four! Fi- Slane lets go and rolls away, pounding the mat in frustration. Howie, exhausted, uses the cables to pull himself to a vertical base. Circe starts yapping at him from the floor, trying to get his attention. It seems to work, as he’s jawing back at her, seemingly oblivious as Stu stalks him from behind, until without warning Howie turns and blasts the bigger man with a closed fist to the side of his head! Chris Avery: My ears are ringing from that shot!Billy: The Mollywhop Heard ‘Round the World!Slane staggers back. Howie rushes him and hits a jumping high knee to the temple! Chris Avery: The Seventh Seal!Slane drops like a stone. A woozy Howard collapses on him. One! Two! The- Slane weakly gets a shoulder up. By instinct Black locks on the Kimura! Slane thrashes about wildly, but will not tap. He tries, vainly, to move towards the ropes. His struggles weaken, and then eventually stop. The determined look on Howard’s face is replaced by one of concern. He says something quietly to Stu, who ignores him. He just stares up into the nighttime sky. Billy: He’s got him! He’s got him! Call for the damn bell, ref!Chris Avery: Slane’s hasn’t submitted, Billy.Billy: Who cares? It’s over!Slane puts his free hand behind his back and closes his eyes. Howie releases the Kimura and rolls away. Chris Avery: Howard Black, for whatever reason, does not want a repeat of what happened between the two men at Turmoil, when Stuart Slane passed out rather than tap!Billy: Friggin’ ridiculous! I’m sorry, I know Howie’s trying to be the better man, but Slane does not deserve mercy!Howie sits up in the ring, catching his breath, watching as the referee moves to check on Stu. Slane nods when asked if he’s ok to continue, and then sits up himself. The two men stare at each other, blankly, and slowly rise to their feet. Chris Avery: Even with the reprieve, Stuart Slane looks all but done.Billy: Howard isn’t much better off. It’s why he shouldn’t have let go of the Kimura.Chris Avery: He’s trying to make a point, Billy.Billy: There are no moral victories in wrestling, Chris!The two men go nose-to-nose, Slane jabbering angrily at the Lost Boy. Howard throws the first forearm! Slane responds in kind, and once more we’re off to the races, the two battered and beaten men exchanging shots in a desperate last attempt to bring the other down. Black’s footing begins to slip first as he stumbles towards the corner. Slane throws a vicious lariat, but his opponent just barely gets under it. Billy: SHITFIRE! Seems like Howard near fainted rather than consciously ducked that!Slane spins through and charges. Chris Avery: RUNAWAY SLANE!Billy: NO! HE GOT HIM!As the Scoutmaster charges, as if by instinct alone the Lost Boy cranks back and nails him with the Mollywhop! Slane goes to the mat! The crowd is on their feet as Howard seems to be only up by virtue of the ropes. Chris Avery: He’s calling for it! Slane is coming to… SEVENTH SEAL!Black’s knee connects against Stuart’s temple, sprawling the Scoutmaster from his base to once more being out prone on his back. Black’s face is a mask of determination as he stumbles to the ropes and pulls himself up again. Chris Avery: He’s not satisfied! Black is calling for it again!Circe is screaming at the ref from ringside as Slane sits up. He seems hardly cognizant of his surroundings, let alone his opponent charging from behind. With the second connecting knee, he crumples to the mat. Black immediately goes for the pin. Ref: 1! 2! 3!! The bell rings as “Endzeit” by Heaven Shall Burn begins to blare over the P.A. to cheers from the crowd. Howard Black stares up at the sky, his chest heaving in exhaustion and pain as he rolls over. Adilene Floyd: Here’s your winner… “the Lost Boy” Howard Black!Billy: This has been ugly, Chris, but I gotta give it to Black: this ain’t the same guy we’ve seen the past couple months. Maybe something has changed in him.Stuart Slane comes to, his eyes blinking open as the music hits his ears. He looks over to Circe Cicero at ringside, her expression dismayed. He closes his eyes once more, his head falling back to the mat in frustration and defeat. When he opens his eyes again, he notices the offering hand before him. Chris Avery: You may be right, Billy! I don’t think we expected to see this.Howard stands before Stu, his hand outstretched: a gesture for assistance up. Slane looks first at the hand and then to the face of his opponent, a look of confusion on his face. The confusion soon sours to resentment as he turns over to his base, pushes himself up, and walks away. An audible boo emits from the crowd. Billy: Well that’s just not necessary.Chris Avery: Apparently sportsmanship wasn’t a skill taught in Scouting, because Slane doesn’t seem to want anything to do with Black’s gesture.Black watches as Slane exits the ring and Circe assists him to the back. The Scoutmaster never turns to look back at his rival, but the Lost Boy’s gaze stays with the Scoutmaster during his entire exit. The show fades to a commercial.

J.C. Keeton Segment
JC Keeton sits on a bench backstage, his wrists taped up and a thick leather strap attached to his left arm. He doubles the strap over and slaps it against his hand with a loud crack. Standing next to him is Jenna Bauer holding a microphone as JC just pops the strap against his palm over and over. Jenna Bauer: Ladies and Gentlemen I’m here with JC Keeton ahead of his huge Strap Match later tonight against Reo Raijin. JC what are your thoughts heading into your first meeting with Raijin in an official capacity?J.C. Keeton: Official, unofficial, in the ring, the parking lot, makes no difference where it is Jenna. Reo has brought out a side of me that I didn’t know existed. It’s a blinding rage unlike anything I’ve ever felt. I can wrestle, the whole world knows I can wrestle. I was born to wrestle but tonight I won’t be doing any wrestling. This is a fight, this is two men bound together by this strap and a burning hatred. It ain’t gonna be a five star classic, Jenna.Jenna Bauer: I don’t think after the weeks of violence between the two of you anyone expects that. I have to ask though, with the news coming out of the Golden Alert being issued for your grandmother are you entirely focused on your match tonight?JC lets the strap go and it falls to his side as he hangs his head and sighs. After a few seconds of silence JC looks up at Jenna. J.C. Keeton: Of course I’m not. Since I never really knew my Mom and with my Dad on the road most of my life she raised me. I haven’t slept since they issued the alert and probably won’t til they find her so yeah I’m definitely not 100% focused.Jenna Bauer: I hope they find her.J.C. Keeton: Thanks Jenna, me too.Jenna smiles into the camera. Jenna Bauer: Let’s go back to the ring.

Strap Match Reo Raijin vs. J.C. Keeton Adilene Floyd: The following contest is a STRAP MATCH!“Born Legendary" begins to play and when the beat kicks in pyro explodes from the rampway as JC Keeton steps through the curtain, he has the strap already attached to his left wrist. His normal high energy upbeat entrance is a simple slow expressionless walk to the ring. Adilene Floyd: Introducing first, from Lexington, KY… JC KEETON!The fans pops for JC but it has no effect as he enters the ring and stares daggers through the curtain waiting for it to part. Jimmy Garcia: The stakes in this one have nothing to do with championships or either man’s standing in the division JJ, this match is about one thing and that’s the hatred that has formed between these two since Reo Raijin arrived in AW.JJ Biggs: I’ve never seen JC like this, I know he said he wasn’t 100% focused but that’s not the stare of a man who doesn’t have some bad intentions.Adilene Floyd: And his opponent, currently residing in San Francisco, CA… REO RAIJIN!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 soon as his feet hit the mat Keeton shoots a power double leg takedown, scooping the masked man up and dumping him on his head. JC places his knee across Raijin’s chest and begins reigning down right hands. The crowd is losing their minds as Reo tries to cover up, but many of the closed fist strikes are getting through. Jimmy Garcia: PapaPia! We need to get this under control, the match hasn't even started yet.JJ Biggs: We need an exorcist, JC is possessed.A slew of referees and CruiserClash GM Donald Deruty come running out from the back and the refs pull Keeton off Reo who you can see a devious smile form on the face of as Deruty leans in and says something inaudible to JC. Keeton's response can clearly be heard. JC Keeton: I don't care whether it's part of the show or not. Fuck this show! This is personal.The feed cuts from the ring to the announcers and Jimmy Garcia with his hand up to his ear. Jimmy Garcia: Folks I'm being told we need to show you a preview of what to expect on the next episode of Monday Night Clash.The feed cuts to flashing images of Ash Blake with Philidor behind her and all the chaos they've caused leading up to her World Championship match, followed by images of Corey Black holding up the belt. A voice over plays asking, “Who left Revolution as AW World Champion? Tune in next week on Clash for the fallout.” When we return D-Day appears to have calmed Keeton and the referee is attaching the other end of the strap to Raijin's left wrist. Deruty exits the ring and the bell sounds. DING DING DING Keeton shoots for a takedown as soon as the ref is out of the way but Raijin was ready this time and sprawls to stuff it and transitions to the back. He begins wrapping the strap around JCs neck, choking him with it. Jimmy Garcia: Holy guacamole he might choke him out right here.JJ Biggs: He's still got to touch all four corners to win and that's hard to do dragging dead weight.Jimmy Garcia: I'm not sure either of them care if they win they just want to hurt the other guy.JC starts to stand with Raijin on his back choking the life out of him. He falls to his back crushing Reo under him forcing him to let go and Keeton unwraps the strap from around his neck gasping for air. Both men get back to their feet and makes a diving leap towards one of the turnbuckles and he connects. A soft ding is heard and a tally appears in the corner of the screen showing Reo Raijin - 1 signifying that he's touched one of the four corners. Jimmy Garcia: It appears Raijin is concerned with the victory as he's going after the winning objective.JJ Biggs: Objective smogjective, JC just wants to hurt him and I want to see him do it.Before Raijin can even get close to touching the second turnbuckle Keeton yanks the strap pulling him towards him right into a stiff knee to the midsection that doubles the masked man over. JC doubles the strap over and the crowd pops in anticipation of what's about to happen as Keeton begins whipping Raijin across his bare back and shoulders with the unforgiving leather. With each swipe of the strap that connects a whelp forms and Raijin screams out in agony. The fans are absolutely eating this up. JJ Biggs: Yes! Beat him like a dog.Jimmy Garcia: Whoa partner, PETA is watching.Out of desperation Reo hits a mule kick low blow to stop the relentless assault from Keeton. With JC now clutching his little Keetons, Raijin hooks him up, lifts him in the air and spikes him right on top of his head with a vicious Brainbuster. He then returns to his feet and slaps two turnbuckles in succession as he goes for the third Keeton begins to tug at the strap from his back but momentarily blocking Raijin from hitting the third turnbuckle but the man of the mask powers himself to the third turnbuckle. Jimmy Garcia: Mama Mia! Reo Raijin is one turnbuckles away from winning this Strap Match.JJ Biggs: The only way JC can stop him is by touching one of the turnbuckles himself.As if he heard what his trainer had to say Keeton makes it to his feet as Reo goes for the final turnbuckle needed to win the match but JC pulls him back going for the opposite turnbuckle as they play tug of war with the strap. With one hard tug Keeton pulls his advisary towards him snapping his head back with a European Uppercut then another before reaching back and slapping the turnbuckle behind him to reset Raijin's path. When he turns back around he eats a European Uppercut himself from Reo and the two men just take the center of the ring alternating Uppercuts, but Keeton appears to still be feeling the affects of the Brainbuster earlier as the shots from Raijin have him on wobbly legs and Reo pulls him towards him. He doubles JC over and hooks his arms looking for Blast from the Past but JC blocks it with a backbody drop. Raijin is instantly back to his feet but doesn't have time to react as Keeton drops him with Ode to the Outlaw. Jimmy Garcia: Ode to the Outlaw! He got all of that, the height on it was incredible.JJ Biggs: I did not teach him that, that's all his old man.JC thinks about trying to win the match with Raijin clearly out of it but instead the second generation star just mounts the chest of the masked man and just starts slamming right hands over and over into the masked face of Raijin. Just as it appears Reo is about to lose consciousness he starts screaming. Reo Raijin: Now! Now! Do it now!Suddenly the ActionTron flickers to life and all pre-recorded video from Raijin plays. Reo Raijin: Jonathan Cade what is more important to you? Ending me or saving HER?Jimmy Garcia: What the hell is he talking about?JJ Biggs: Oh God I think I know…Just as the words leave Biggs mouth JC stands up to see two unknown men in Raijin masks pushing a woman who has been tied to a wheelchair out on the ramp. JJ Biggs: This is too far, that's Katherine Keeton JCs grandmother. I've eaten dinner at that sweet old woman's house.Keeton starts to remove the strap from his arm but the video of Raijin continues on the big screen. Reo Raijin: What's it going to be Baby Boy Keeton? Are you going to rescue your dear dear Grandma or is the vengeance you seek from me more important? If you take that strap off to save her I win.Keeton turns to the ref and mouths the words “Is that true?” and the ref gives a reluctant nod. Still down on the mat Raijin stars screaming from the ring to his followers. Reo Raijin: Do it now! Push the old bitch off the stage!Jimmy Garcia: No don't do this!JJ Biggs stands up and yanks his headset off and starts up the ramp as the masked men begin wheeling Katherine towards the edge of the stage. A frantic JC Keeton pulls the strap loose from his wrist and bolts up the ramp, past Biggs, and he hits a double clothesline on the Raijin imposters sending them tumbling as he pulls the chair away from the edge of the stage and embraces his grandmother. Inside the ring Raijin is back to his feet demanding that the referee raise his hand, Adilene Floyd reluctantly raises the mic to her lips. Adilene Floyd: Ladies and Gentlemen the winner of this match as a result of a forfeit, Reo Raijin!Jimmy Garcia: What a disgusting act by Reo Raijin, this is far from over.Biggs has now joined JC on the stage as the work to untie Katherine while Raijin disappears through the crowd.

Gents Segment
After even more thrilling action, the camera shifts back to the East Room of the White House, where the Two Gents are busily wrapping up their repair job. Teo, who has been watching the show out the window, walks back to his partner to check up on it. As he approaches, his face shifts into an expression of shock. Teo Blaze: Was...was this what it looked like before?Andre Jenson: I’m pretty sure. I mean I was working from memory.Teo turns his head to the side slightly, then back. Teo Blaze: There’s no way in hell this is going to work, you realize that right?Andre Jenson: Oh it’ll be fine, just tell them that’s how it’s always been.Teo Blaze: Nobody’s going to believe that!Andre Jenson: Not with that attitude, they aren’t!Teo Blaze: We’re going to get thrown into...art jail or something! I will have to make a shiv out of a paintbrush!Andre Jenson: Now now, nobody’s getting shivved with a paintbrush, you’re way more likely to get stabbed with a palette kni….Doug Emhoff: There you two are!!The Second Gentleman suddenly appears back on the scene, walking over to the Two Gents with a look of urgency. Doug Emhoff: Look, I’m glad you guys have had fun, but we need to clear out the White House for later this evening. We need you two to-Doug stops, looking at the painting, his expression somewhere between confusion and trying to remember something. Teo braces himself as Jenson coolly looks away. Doug Emhoff: Say, does this painting look any different to you two?Andre looks expectantly at Teo, who can’t seem to believe what he’s hearing. Teo Blaze: Uh...no? It’s...always looked like this.Andre Jenson: Yeah, it’s Washington right? I’d know his face anywhere.Doug’s face scrunches up, but after a moment he shrugs his shoulders. Doug Emhoff: I guess I never looked that closely at it. Well guys, come on. We should still be able to catch the main event!Andre Jenson: That’s the spirit!The Two Gents quickly allow themselves to be ushered out of the room to watch the remainder of the show live. As they leave, the camera pans around to finally reveal the “repairs” Jenson has made to the portrait. The sound can be heard as the Gents share a celebratory and signature #2Gents fist bump off camera. The camera hangs on the image a few moments before cutting back to the next match.

Frank Patrick Venable vs. James Nightingale Billy: OK folks, we are back live from The White House, the next match is going to be an all-out war!Chris Avery: That’s right Billy, we are about to see former three-time AW World Champion, FPV face off against James Nightingale!Billy: This war has been personal from the get go, with Nightingale brutally assaulting Frank’s older brother, Vic and his fiance; we understand Vic remains in a coma.Chris Avery: FPV’s mental state has come into question in recent weeks, the war Nightingale has raged on him appears to have taken a mental toll. And to make matters worse, following the events of Clash, it appears that Alice has rejoined her husband… god knows why she’d do such a thing.Billy: Stockholm syndrome perhaps? I don’t understand it, Avery. It’s time to see how this one is going to shape out, buckle up folks!The pounding, thunderous bass of "Turbo Killer" by Carpenter Brut hits the soundwaves, as the crowd buzzes in anticipation. Slowly, the words "MAN MADE GODS" appear on the tron, and as the song reaches its dramatic height, three letters are superimposed on the team name. F. P. V. As the songs drop hits, the man himself emerges from the curtain to cheers from the audience. Frank Patrick Venable, dressed in full ring attire and looking vicious, begins his walk down the rampway. He is sporting a dressing on the back of his head to conceal the laceration caused by Alice’s assault with a baseball bat on Clash. Adilene Floyd: From Atlanta, Georgia… weighing in at 220 pounds… this is Frank… Patrick… Venable...... FPV!!!His eyes looking away from the fans and focusing intently on the ring, he ascends the steps, walks through the ropes, and begins to psyche himself up for the match at hand. Billy: The former champ looks fired up! Chris Avery: I have the feeling there won’t be many conventional wrestling holds in this one, Billy!“In the House, In a Heartbeat'' by William Morris begins its slow-burn introduction as the front lawn of The White House falls into darkness upon the sound of the song's iconic piano chords. Soon the piano is accompanied by the rumblings of bass guitar and in time with each note, a flash of strobe lighting appears, revealing a figure in the darkness standing in the centre of the entrance stage as his appearance is slowly revealed by the strobe lighting... it is James Nightingale. Nightingale remains still on the stage; his face half-covered by his intimidating goth-style entrance mask with his eyes focused intensely on FPV. As the tempo begins to increase he slowly unbuttons his trench coat without breaking his intense gaze on his rival; revealing “RIP VIC” in blood-stained lettering written across the chest of his T-shirt. The music pauses and the strobe lighting ends, returning the venue to darkness once again. Billy: That T-shirt is a disgrace!The music returns with an edgier tone, accompanied by electric guitar as the entrance stage is now illuminated with blood-red lighting and “The Angel of Death” appears on the ActionTron, again in blood-stained lettering. He continues to stand on the stage; Alice walks out of the shadows behind Nightingale, armed with her barbed wire-wrapped baseball bat, she stops at his side. Billy: For the first time in Action Wrestling history, Alice stands at her husband’s side as he makes his entrance.Chris Avery: She comes armed with that baseball bat which she struck FPV with on Clash! Alice is a star in her own right Billy, she was a standout competitor on CruiserClash and she’s now out here to ensure her man picks up the victory; what an insurance policy!She turns to Nightingale, placing her right hand on his shoulder. She whispers in his ear and then kisses him on the cheek, raising the bat in her left hand and pointing it towards the ring, smiling seductively as she ushers her man towards the battle ahead. Nightingale cracks his neck from right to left before finally beginning his intimidating march to the ring whilst Alice watches on from the stage, his intense soulless eyes never break away from FPV. His pace quickens as the drumbeat intensifies the unsettling theme music. Adilene Floyd: Being accompanied to the ring by his wife, Alice… from The King’s City, England… weighing in at 220 pounds… he is a founding member of The Lost Breed...this is …Before Adilene can even finish Nightingale’s introduction, FPV slides out of the ring and begins to run up the ramp towards Nightingale, who in preparation for the incoming assault quickly removes his mask and trench coat just in time, they both begin swinging left and rights at each other! Billy: AND THERE AT IT ALREADY, NIGHTINGALE DIDN’T EVEN MAKE IT TO THE RING!They continue to strike each other; FPV begins to look like he is gaining the advantage, but Nightingale rakes his eyes and then throws FPV into the barricade with a thud! FPV arches his back in pain, Nightingale takes a moment to catch his breath then grabs FPV by the head, marching him towards the ring. Billy: Nightingale is looking to take this into the ring!Nightingale attempts to throw FPV into the ring, but Frank blocks the attempt, pushing against the apron. He throws a couple of quick elbows into Nightingales side, forcing AOD off of him. FPV gives him no to recover, he quickly grabs Nightingale and throws him into the ring steps. He then begins stomping on Nightingale, who is dazed after his head crashes against the steel steps. FPV rips Nightingale’s T-Shirt off of him and throws it into the crowd to a loud ovation, he then hits Nightingale with another stiff blow to the face! Billy: That T-Shirt would surely have been a red rag to a bull, did Nightingale not think that it would fire FPV up even more than he already is!Alice marches over towards the melee and turns FPV around, she begins screaming expletives in his face! Billy: The Hard as Fuck girl is getting involved, it appears she didn’t take too kindly to FPV confronting her in the CruiserClash locker room!Chris Avery: The bell hasn’t even rung yet for this match, Billy. This is absolute chaos!FPV goes to turn away, but Alice pulls him back again… the distraction is enough for Nightingale to regain his composure and strike FPV from behind, knocking off the dressing on the back of FPV’s head and reopening the laceration; blood begins to pour out of the back of Frank’s head. Nightingale finally throws FPV into the ring and follows him in. The referee gets Nightingale to stand back from FPV whilst he checks on him. He asks Frank if he wants the match to begin; he nods. The referee rings the bell! DING! DING!! DING!!! Billy: Well the match is officially underway at last!Nightingale immediately charges towards FPV… who quickly stands and connects with a vicious Superkick! Billy: BOOM HEADSHOT!!!Nightingale drops as if he had been sniped by the CIA! But FPV doesn’t go for the pin! He mounts Nightingale and begins to reign down rights and lefts. The referee begins to count! ONE! TWO!! THREE!! FOUR!!!! He muscles off FPV from Nightingale and warns him about the risk of disqualification. Billy: FPV looks like he has no intention of ending this yet!FPV pushes past the ref and begins reigning down more rights and lefts. The referee begins to count again! ONE! TWO!! THREE!!! FOUR!!! Fi… The ref tries to pull off FPV again, but Frank loses his cool and Superkicks the referee!! Billy: OH NO! FPV HAS LOST IT, HE’S JUST KILLED THE REF!!FPV goes for Nightingale once more, but Nightingale quickly pulls him in and nails a Swinging Reverse STO! Billy: JUST BARELY BREATHING! FPV TOOK HIS EYES OFF OF HIM FOR A SECOND!Chris Avery: A second is all it takes for Nightingale, he is deadly.Nightingale begins to punch the back of Frank’s head, opening the laceration further, FPV’s blood splatters on his own body. Nightingale smiles sadistically as he looks down at FPV. Nightingale unbuckles his belt and removes it from his tights, he begins to whip FPV with it! Each slap of the leather on Frank’s flesh is sickening, welts form after each strike. Alice screams words of encouragement at her man. After the tenth lashing, Nightingale walks over to his wife and gestures her to climb the apron. She leaves the bat on the apron and climbs up; they share a kiss, much to the crowd’s disdain! Billy: I just can’t believe my eyes, why is she doing this?Before they finish kissing, FPV climbs back to his feet and charges into the back of Nightingale, causing Alice to get bumped off the apron and crashing hard to the ground, leaving the baseball bat on the apron. FPV then quickly hits a Butterfly Tornado DDT, driving Nightingale’s face into the mat. As he climbs back to his feet, FPV notices Alice’s bat on the apron and picks it up, lifting it to his face! A second referee runs towards the ring! Billy: FPV looks like he is going to give Nightingale a piece of his own medicine!FPV begins to eye up Nightingale who is now staggering to his feet, unaware that FPV is armed with his wife’s weapon. Just as FPV begins to swing the bat, the referee stops him by grabbing his arm… FPV turn’s and strikes the referee with the end of the handle, causing him to fall back out of the ring! Billy: FPV is out of control!Chris Avery: This match has never really got going!Billy: At this point, it’s a fight to the death, not a wrestling match!Showing no signs of remorse, FPV turns for Nightingale once more… and hits him in the stomach with the bat!! Nightingale slumps back to the mat whilst grasping for his breath, the crowd explodes as FPV unleashes a primal scream. He gestures for his new deadly finisher… Billy: He’s looking to hit that Ganso Bomb again, Avery!!Chris Avery: This move is costly, $25,000, but given the pain Nightingale has caused FPV, he won’t care about the fine!FPV pulls Nightingale in, placing his head between his legs, he looks to the skies, then to his left, but he notices something that causes him to doubt himself… a fan’s sign. It reads “MAKE VIC PROUD”. FPV looks disgusted with himself, realising what Nightingale has reduced him to, the man he’s become. FPV pushes Nightingale away, causing him to stumble into the ropes. Billy: It looks like FPV has come to his senses!And as Nightingale stumbles back towards FPV… he nails him with one of the stiffest Superkicks ever seen! Billy: BOOOOOMMMMMMM HEADSHOTTTTTTTT!!!!!Nightingale falls to the mat. A third referee runs to the ring and slides in… Billy: That’s the FPV we know and love, he didn’t need that dangerous manoeuvre to win… Vic would be proud!But just as we think the referee is going to count the pinfall… he instead gestures for the timekeeper to ring the bell!!! DING! DING! DING!!! Billy: WHAT!?!? WHAT’S GOING ON!?!?The referee leaves the ring and talks to Adilene, then re-enters the ring. Adilene: The winner of this match… as a result of a disqualification… JAMES NIGHTINGALE!!!FPV looks shocked Billy: ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?Alice screams with joy on the outside. Nightingale slowly begins to climb to his feet, a sadistic smile on his face appears as the realisation that he’s defeated a former three-time AW World Champion settles in. FPV looks enraged once more, he grabs the referee and throws him out of the ring! He then quickly kicks Nightingale in the gut and attempts the Ganso Bomb again… but as Frank lifts him up, Nightingale slips out over his shoulder, and as Frank turns around, Nightingale kicks him in the dick!!! FPV slumps instantly to the mat, and Nightingale mounts him, hitting him with repeated headbutts!!! Billy: THIS IS SICK!Nightingale finally stops, he staggers to his feet with a face covered in crimson mass, a combination of FPV’s blood and his own; he smiles sadistically into the camera. Alice screams orders from the apron. Nightingale pulls up FPV to his feet and places his head between his legs… he lifts him up and spikes him into the mat with an Elevated Package Piledriver! Billy: THE MERCY KILLING!!!Nightingale climbs to his feet and stands over FPV’s motionless body. He gestures for Alice to join him, they stand over FPV as Alice raises Nightingale’s arm in victory. Chris Avery: FPV might have had this fight won, but the record books as-well-as this lasting image will show that Nightingale was the victor tonight.The couple exits the ring together and begins to head up the ramp. Nightingale stops and turns back to Frank, who remains motionless. Billy: NO, WHAT NOW!?!?Nightingale marches back to the ring, he stops short and pulls back the protective mats from the ringside area. He then reaches in and grabs FPV’s foot, pulling him out of the ring and causing him to crash to the floor, Frank’s head hitting the concrete floor with a sickening thud! He gestures for Alice to climb the turnbuckle! Nightingale pulls Frank in for another Elevated Package Driver! Billy: NO, NOT THIS...WHAT ARE THEY DOING!?!?NIGHTINGALE LIFTS FPV UP FOR A SECOND PACKAGE PILEDRIVER, AS ALICE DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE, SHE CONNECTS WITH A DOUBLE-FOOTED STOMP AS NIGHTINGALE DRIVES HIM DOWN, SPIKING HIS HEAD INTO THE CONCRETE!!! Billy: GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!!!!!!!!The crowd are stunned into silence as FPV is left twitching on the floor. The Nightingale’s look on at their handiwork, both smiling sadistically, then making out over FPV’s fallen body as “In the House, In a Heartbeat” begins to play out. Billy: Where is Nightingale’s fine! His actions are inexcusable, and there are never any repercussions for him!Chris Avery: Nightingale has connections, and he wields a lot of power, Billy!Billy: THIS IS BULLCRAP!!The Nightingale’s finally begin to head up the entrance ramp for the final time. Billy: Officially tonight, Nightingale is the winner, but we know truly that FPV had him beat!Chris Avery: It’s obvious Billy that these two will be unable to settle this heated rivalry in a normal one-on-one match. Billy: Let’s just hope FPV can make a recovery so he can come back and finally get his revenge on Nightingale.FPV remains unconscious as EMTs arrive to attend to him. Nightingale and Alice continue to bask in their glory on the stage as Revolution moves to a commercial.

Womens Championship Lissie Hope vs. Spayde Martinez(c) Chris Avery: It’s not very often that we have a split-branded affair, but that’s exactly the case tonight and the announce team will reflect that. I’m joined now by our CruiserClash colleague, Jimmy Garcia!Jimmy Garcia: Thanks for having me, Chris! I know there’s this silly idea that your show, Clash, is the A-show, but after tonight, you might be losing one of your brightest stars!Chris Avery: We have nothing but love for her, Jimmy! If she wants to move over to your turf for awhile, than we stand behind her!Jimmy Garcia: It’s pre-main event time! Take it away Adeline!Adilene Floyd: Ladies and gentlemen… the following match is scheduled for one fall and is for the Action Wrestling Women’s Championship!“I’m the baaaaad guy…” Crowd: DUH! Billie Eilish’s “bad guy” hits the speakers and the fans are going absolutely nuts. The girls in the audience sing along to the music, dance along to the beats, holding up their signs of appreciation for the one and only Lissie Hope! Adilene Floyd: Making her way to the ring, standing 5’5” and weighing 135 pounds… from New Orleans, Louisiana… THE HEROINE OF ACTION WRESTLING… LISSSSSSIIIIEEEEE HOOOOOOOOOPEEEEE!Finally, the curtains spread to reveal the two-time World Champion, the two-time Woman of the Year! She has a hop in her step as she moves from one end of the stage to the other, revving up the fans! Hundreds of signs of support line the crowd - “Welcome back, Lissie!” and “Heroine!” and other variants - and Lissie takes a moment on the top of the stage to really soak it all in. Chris Avery: This woman has been through the ringer, and here she is, looking stronger than she’s ever before!Jimmy Garcia: Not just physically, Chris, but her mental strength these days, by all accounts - it’s an uplifting story!Chris Avery: Every single person in this arena wants to see Lissie Hope back at the top of her game! And what a step this would be!Jimmy Garcia: As we learned earlier tonight, if Lissie Hope manages to defeat Spayde Martinez tonight, she will be contracted to CruiserClash for thirty days, and possibly beyond!Chris Avery: That would be a major injection of a star player onto that roster, Jimmy!Jimmy Garcia: We are really excited for the possibility!Lissie Hope slowly descends down the ramp, slapping hands with the fans in the front rows. Some of the younger girls have tears in their eyes as Lissie stops to speak a few words to some of them. Sitting at ringside are the four administrators of the Lissie Hope Fan Club, wearing t-shirts donning their name and country of origin - Naomi from Brazil, Caitlin from Great Britain, Bai from China, and of course, the former Cruiserweight Champion, Mae from South Africa. Lissie pauses to speak to all of them, her biggest fans. Jimmy Garcia: Wait a minute…Chris Avery: Look out!The boos crescendo as the music cuts, and Spayde Martinez hops over the ring barrier, a sneak attack from the crowd! She’s behind Lissie, and she swings the Women’s Championship at Lissie’s head, but Lissie ducks underneath! Lissie tries a forearm, but Spayde blocks it, driving a knee into Lissie’s sternum! Spayde then slams Lissie’s head off the apron, and slides her into the ring. The referee calls for the bell! DING DING DING Jimmy Garcia: And we are underway! Spayde Martinez tried that cheap shot but thankfully Lissie minimized the damage!Chris Avery: There’s no love lost here! Spayde has had words of vitriol for Lissie dating back to November!Jimmy Garcia: Let’s see if she is tough as her mouth!Spayde follows Lissie into the ring and toys with her, pushing her head into the mat with her boot. She fires up her cannon of a leg and delivers a stiff punt to Lissie’s abdomen! A smirk spreads on her face as she grabs Lissie’s hair and pulls her to her knees. A right hand to the jaw, followed by another! She tries a third, but Lissie blocks it, and shoots for a forearm to the abdomen. Spayde evades it and drives a knee to the chin. Lissie backpedals into the corner and Spayde follows her in with a back elbow, followed by a stiff backhanded chop! And another! Spayde whips Lissie to the opposite corner and drives in with a powerful clothesline, nearly upending Lissie over the top rope. Without wasting a second, Spayde connects with a float over suplex, hooking a leg! 1… ...but Lissie kicks out quickly! Chris Avery: Spayde Martinez is dominating here in the early going!Jimmy Garcia: As much as she didn’t want to admit, Lissie is definitely rusty right now!Spayde drags Lissie back up to her feet, but as she looks for a Gutwrench for a powerbomb, Lissie manages to counter into a headscissor takedown! Spayde scrambles back to her feet with some impressive speed, but Lissie NAILS her with a brutal roundhouse to the side of the head, sending the Cruiserweight Champion back into the ropes! Lissie hits the rebound with all of her force-BICYCLE KICK to the chest of Spayde Martinez! She falls back onto the ropes and topples back out onto the apron, allowing Lissie a moment of respite to go high, looking for a double stomp-but she stops short as Spayde prepares for a snap powerbomb! Spayde’s caught out, though, and Lissie NAILS her with a missile dropkick to send her back into the ringpost! Spayde falls to the outside, and Lissie follows up with a leaping DDT from the apron to the floor! Lissie has regained control of this bout! She drags Spayde and throws her back into the ring, before going to the top rope, looking, perhaps, for the Cherry Bomb! She leaps- Chris Avery: And Lissie is airborne!Jimmy Garcia: She connects--- NO!-and Spayde Martinez catches her on her knees! Spayde looks for a sleeper to follow-up, but Lissie fights out and goes for the ropes to break the submission before it can get fully locked in, only for Spayde to drill her with a jumping knee to the back of the head, followed up by a Rolling German Suplex! Spayde plants Lissie on her head and neck, and Lissie tries to roll through and stumble to her feet, but Spayde’s on her almost immediately with a wicked Uranage-BUT LISSIE COUNTERS IT INTO A DDT! Both women are lain out! Lissie tries, desperately, to get back to her feet! She’s clearly rocked from that knee into a German combo, and she tries for a double underhook to plant knees into Spayde’s skull before looking for the Crown of Thorns, but Spayde counters! Roaring elbow! A stiff slap to the face! Another knee strike! And an armbar to drag Lissie to the canvas! She tries to lock it in tightly, but Lissie fights out of it! She tries to flip to a knee, and Spayde releases the hold, going for a double wristlock instead! Lissie’s arms are clearly bearing the punishment here, but she’s still trying to get to a vertical base! Chris Avery: It’s clear that Spayde is trying to isolate her limbs!Jimmy Garcia: She’s not even looking for a pinfall right now! She wants to HURT Lissie, just like she hurt Miss Mae and Vivian Rae Jade!Lissie’s managing to reverse the wristlock-but Spayde counters quickly with a kick to the head, followed up by a mounted wrist-lock-ARM STOMP! Lissie’s left arm might as well be dead as Spayde has stomped the fuck out of it! Lissie cries out in pain! Spayde releases the hold for a moment, grabbing Lissie and dragging her to her feet! She mimics Lissie’s butterfly knees, repeatedly drilling Hope in the skull with knees from a double underhook-before flipping her back with a float over butterfly suplex into an armbar! Lissie struggles against it on her damaged arm, trying to get to her knees, but Spayde keeps the hold locked in! Spayde’s looking for a tap, and allowing Lissie some range of movement only to adapt it back into a full armbar! But as it seems that Lissie’s about to give up-she manages to break the hold for just long enough to get a boot on the ropes! Spayde’s forced to break the hold! Spayde drags Lissie back up to her feet-ENZIGURI! BOTH WOMEN GO DOWN! Chris Avery: Such a fever pace right now, but that enziguri put a halt to it!Jimmy Garcia: Both ladies are giving it everything they’ve got!The referee starts a count! 1… 2… 3… --Lissie begins to stir. 4… 5… --And Spayde drags herself up first. 6… Lissie is up, but Spayde charges, looking for a knee, but Lissie ducks and sends Spayde over with a back body drop! The fans explode as Lissie falls to her knees, trying to gain the energy to really change the momentum! Lissie grabs Spayde by the hair and pulls her in for a DDT, but Spayde counters into a sidewalk slam! Once again, both women are down, utterly exhausted! Jimmy Garcia: This is a hell of a fight, Chris! Spayde seems to have inflicted the most damage so far, but Lissie is hanging in there, just barely!Chris Avery: But Spayde is back to her feet first! This is not good!Spayde pulls Lissie up and hooks a leg, looking for a corkscrew fisherman’s suplex, but Lissie fights her way out of it! A punch to the gut, and another! Lissie bounces off the ropes, going for a tilt a whirl headscisscors out of nowhere, but Spayde hangs on, driving her knee into the back of Lissie’s neck and locking in an elevated boston crab! Spayde is screaming for Lissie to tap, but Lissie inches closer and closer, finally able to hook a finger on the buttom rope! The fans cheer for the break, but Spayde doesn’t want to break the hold! She still has Lissie’s feet, trying to shake her grip from the rope! Finally, Spayde kicks Lissie in the back and steps on the small of her spine, pulling on her arm for a surfboard! The referee is yelling at Spayde, as Lissie still has a grip of the bottom rope! But then Lissie uses her leverage and the power in her legs and core to swing an off-balance Spayde tumbling out of the ring! Lissie slowly rises, and uses the top rope to springboard over the top, looking for a flying body press! Chris Avery: OVER THE ROPES---Jimmy Garcia: CONNECTS-- OH NO!Spayde CATCHES Lissie in mid-air, and runs at the turnbuckle post, Lissie’s back colliding with the steel right in front of the Fan Club! Spayde drops to a knee to catch her breath and Lissie is motionless outside. Spayde sees Mae and walks straight to her, yelling at her, before she spits right in her face! Mae instinctively throws her glass of soda at Spayde, drenching her! An enraged Spayde tries to climb over the barricade but security is there quickly to separate the two! Chris Avery: How disgusting! Spayde is an animal!Jimmy Garcia: But for the first time, Miss Mae stood up to her!Spayde turns her attention back to Lissie and rolls her under the ropes. She zeroes in on her back again, looking for an abdominal stretch. But Lissie counters! Reversal! A kick to the gut. Chris Avery: CROWN OF THORNS! OUT OF NOWHERE!Jimmy Garcia: OH MY GOD!The fans jump to their feet as the pedigree lands right in the center of the ring! An exhausted Lissie climbs onto Spayde and hooks the leg, counting along with the referee! 1!!! Chris Avery: THIS IS IT!2!!! Jimmy Garcia: LISSIE HAS PULLED IT OFF!3--- At the very last millisecond, SPAYDE MARTINEZ KICKS OUT! Chris Avery: NO! DAMMIT!Jimmy Garcia: SO DAMN CLOSE!Lissie Hope cannot believe it! The Crown of Thorns, her finisher that has put down so many before, was not enough to put Spayde Martinez away! Lissie is so demoralized and barely has the energy to continue. She favors her elbow, her arm, and her back as she lifts Spayde up gingerly. A knee to the gut, followed by a weak irish whip to the corner… ....but Spayde counters it, sending Lissie to the corner with power, slamming on the corner! Spayde charges in and hits a spear in the corner, taking all of Lissie’s breath out of her! Spayde drives her right hand into Lissie’s cheek before lifting her up into the corner! A couple more right hands, and she climbs up in front of her, looking to down her with a top rope superplex! Chris Avery: If she lands this, this is it!Jimmy Garcia: I don’t think Lissie has much left in the tank!Spayde has Lissie’s head hooked… but Lissie is fighting away! Right hands to the stomach! Spayde tries an overhand hook, but Lissie ducks it, leaving Spayde’s arm open for the underhook! And she hooks the other! And from the top rope-- Chris Avery: CROWN OF THORNS! OH MY GOD!Jimmy Garcia: LISSIE JUST HIT ANOTHER ONE, THIS TIME OFF THE TOP ROPE!It happened so fast that the crowd is in awe for a moment before the sense of realization hits not only them, but Lissie as well! Lissie takes several seconds to crawl over, utterly exhausted! Lissie climbs on top! She hooks the leg! 1… Chris Avery: SHE ISN’T MOVING!2… Spayde’s boot is hanging OUT of the ring, underneath the bottom rope, but the referee doesn’t see it! Jimmg Garcia: THIS IS IT! 3-- … DING DING DING!!! Adilene Floyd: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, THE WINNER OF THE MATCH… AND NEW AW WOMEN’S CHAMPION….THE FANS ARE ABSOLUTELY ECASTATIC! LISSIE IS ON HER KNEES AS THE REFEREE HANDS HER THE TITLE! Adilene Floyd: THE HEROINE OF ACTION WRESTLING… LISSIEEEEEE HOOOOOOPEEEE!“I’m the baaaaaaaad guy…” Crowd: DUH! The music erupts over the loudspeakers as Lissie rolls out of the ring with the beautiful AW Women’s Championship! She runs over to her Fan Club and gives Mae and her colleagues a big collective hug! Chris Avery: Lissie Hope has been through it all, folks! One of the most heartbreaking stories that transcends wrestling, but here she is, wearing the crown she’s always meant to wear with pride!Jimmy Garcia: THE NIGHT BELONGS TO LISSIE HOPE!Lissie finally reaches the top of the ramp, holding the belt up for the screaming fans, tears filling her eyes! Spayde Martinez is STILL laid out in the ring! Chris Avery: Let’s not take anything away from Spayde! She showed just how much of a force she is, taking the two-time World Champion to the absolute limit!Jimmy Garcia: And if you look at this replay, a rope break could have been justified here! Her foot was under the ropes!Chris Avery: That’s a discussion for another day, Jimmy! I just have to say, enjoy Lissie Hope while you have her! This is such an incredible addition to your brand!Jimmy Garcia: And you KNOW that this isn’t over between Lissie Hope and Spayde Martinez! My god, what a match!

Sara Pettis Segment
After yet another cool match, we head to the underground parking lot or whatever. A camera man desperately follows a woman who is wheeling luggage behind her. Jenna Bauer is with the camera man. Jenna Bauer: Sara! Wait!The woman stops and turns around. Sure shit. It's Sara Pettis. They catch up to her. Jenna Bauer: Where are you going, Sara?Sara Pettis: Anywhere but here.Jenna Bauer: This is one of the most historically significant evens in Action Wrestling history and--Sara Pettis: And what? I don't need to stick around to see who wins the rest of the night. I came here to do my job... and I did it well. As always, I put in the work. No matter the challenge, I am going to continue to prove my worth.Jenna Bauer: What are your thoughts on your opponents earlier today?Sara Pettis: What a strange question, after the fact. You saw what happened out there, Jenna. Four of the best on CruiserClash showed once again that we represent the cream of the crop in Action Wrestling. Spayde Martinez may be at the head of the table for now... but she's going to get her ass evicted sooner than later.The scene fades.

Lissie Hope Segment
The camera cuts to the VIP booth, where President Biden and Carter Shaw are enjoying the show. On Carter’s lap rests the All-In briefcase, and he grips the handle tightly with both hands. He adjusts in his seat when he notices a pair of secret service agents motioning for a little leg room as Vice President Kamala Harris comes into the frame, eager to take a seat next to the Philidor Holdings superstar. Vice President Kamala Harris: Joe, I’d like you to meet an incredible young woman. This is a former two-time World Champion, Lissie Hope!Kamala makes room for Lissie Hope, who follows her nervously. President Joe stands up and extends a hand to shake, and Lissie obliges. Lissie Hope: It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. President.President Biden eyes her up and down and pulls her in for a side-hug, his nostrils hovering ever so closely to her bluish green hair falling just below her ears. President Joe Biden: A two-time champion, huh? It’s always exciting to hear about young ladies making it big.Lissie Hope: Thank you, Mr. President.Lissie takes a seat next to Carter Shaw, and the two are obviously overwhelmed by the one-of-a-kind experience. Carter Shaw: It’s good to see you.Lissie Hope: Thanks, it’s good to be back.Vice President Kamala Harris: So I was told that the two of you have quite a bit of history. A bit of an odd couple, like Joe and myself.Carter Shaw: We’ve bonded in the past over some shared experiences.Lissie Hope: And some common accomplishments.Lissie’s eyes turn towards the All-In briefcase, as Carter smirks and pulls it closer into his body. Lissie Hope: Let me know if you need any ideas cashing that bad boy in. A few of them got lost in the ether.Carter Shaw: I think I’ll manage, but thanks.President Joe Biden: The briefcase? That holds a future title or something, right? Is that how you became a champion, Lissie?Lissie nods and draws her eyes towards the tron, which now shows a poster promoting the Battlebowl tag team tournament in February to determine who final entrant in the Havoc Rumble. Lissie Hope: Last year, for that tournament, Carter and I teamed up.Carter Shaw: You didn’t want anything to do with me.Carter chuckles. Carter Shaw: Look at us now?Lissie Hope: It can be a bit of a star-maker. Carter was new to the company, and we were randomly paired together. I was kind of a bitch, huh?President Biden’s eyes widen, not really used to the profanity. Lissie quickly covers her mouth and offers a soft apology. Carter Shaw: A little. But it’s all in the past.Vice President Kamala Harris: What kind of teams should we expect this year?Lissie Hope: It’s anyone’s guess, really. Veterans can pair up with rookies. Sworn enemies can be forced to set aside their differences. We could see some former champions… some current briefcase holders…Carter smiles. Carter Shaw: Shawshank Redemption part two?The president is confused by the reference. Lissie Hope: We’ll see.The camera cuts from the conversation to a commercial for the upcoming Battlebowl tournament.

Main Event
Ash Blake vs. Corey Black(c)
The arena lights go dark as the opening piano lick of Will Wood's "Greetings from Mary Bell Township!" hits the speakers, the ActionTron flickering to life with a collection of letters and shapes converging until they meet in the center of the screen. The letters and shapes form into the Philidor Holdings logo as the sound of the doorbell hits, and the boos almost drown out the doo-wop riff. As the first verse comes in, Ash Blake emerges from behind the curtain.. Flanked by Olive Adler. All smiles despite the jeering, she saunters down the ramp, beaming, singing along to her theme song. White picket fences. Barbed wire and trenches Trick or treat. Merry Christmas. Howdy neighbor. Thank you Jesus What is he building in that painted lady? A participation trophy wife or blonde, blue-eyed baby? As the duo make their way towards ringside, Ash takes a moment to go for a photo op with a fan at ringside, though she's harshly rebuffed. A glib smile on her face, she ascends the ring steps and enters under the middle rope as Olive lifts it up for her. Ash steps to her corner and takes her place. Olive points to her and looks out at the crowd as if she's the new Champion. The music fades. "Blood and a Siren" by Index Case hits the PA as the lights fade to black, causing the crowd to go into a frenzy of cheers. A few moments pass before the song kicks into gear, a white spotlight fires off from the far reaches of the venue casting its light upon the stage where Corey Black stands. The Action Wrestling World Championship is strapped around his waist, glistening in the light. Wearing a black leather vest adorned with "ALL HAIL," a skull with a crown and "LAST KING" on the back, Corey walks down toward the ring, looking out into the crowd on his way down the ramp. He reaches the apron and places his hands upon it, gliding along as he heads for the steps. He climbs up and enters through the ropes, rushing toward the hard camera side of the ring and throwing devil horns into the air as he hits the ropes chest first! Corey removes the vest and Action Wrestling World Championship, dropping them down to a ringside worker, then positions himself in his corner and begins moving back and forth, awaiting the upcoming battle. The lights hanging above the ring darken and the crowd buzzes. Adilene Floyd: Fans it's time for YOUR MAIN EVENT and it's FOR THE WORLD... CHAMPPPPPIONSHIP!Crowd pops. Adilene Floyd: Introducing first, the challenger...Crowd boos. Adilene Floyd: SHE IS THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER, REPRESENTING PHILIDOR HOLDINGS, ASH! BLAKE!Crowd boos as she steps forward and Olive is on the apron yelling and gassing her up! Ash smiles and steps back. Adilene Floyd: In the other corner..Crowd buzzes.. Adilene Floyd: THE KING OF ALL WRESTLERS!!Crowd pops. Adilene Floyd: HE IS THE WOOOOOORRRRRRLLLDDDD CHAMPIONNNNNN!!!Crowd poppppppppppppppps.. Adilene Floyd: COREYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACKKKK!!Crowd goes crazy as Black stands in the middle of the ring and holds the World Championship up high. He turns around as Adilene ducks out through the ropes and the ref takes the belt but Ash steps up to Corey Black and they go face to face! Billy: ITS MAIN EVENT TIME FOLKS!Chris Avery: THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ON THE LINE!Billy: BLAKE! BLACK! FOR THE TITLE! REVOLUTION!The ref shows the title around the ring as Ash and Black are still face to face. He hands the belt off. DING DING DING Black smiles but Ash slaps the spit out of his face! The crowd reacts. Billy: WHOA!Ash goes for another slap but Black blocks it and smiles. Ash hits a knee to the gut and a punch to the side of the head! Black stumbles back and Ash kicks the leg out of the leg and hits another knee! She whips Black to the ropes and goes for a back body drop but Black flips landing on his feet and Ash grabs his hair and pulls him down onto his back on the canvas! Ash stomps on the head of Black before he rolls up to his knees and Ash hits a knee to the side of the head of Black and clotheslines the back of him knocking him down! Ash rolls Black over for a cover but Black flips her over and covers her! 1! Ash immediately kicks out and rolls to her feet and Ash goes for a clothesline but Black ducks and grabs the arm and hits a knee of his own to her gut. He twists the arm and goes for a hip toss but Ash flips and lands on her feet and Black grabs her by the hair and pulls her down onto the back! She immediately kips up but Black clotheslines her from behind to the back of the head knocking her down! He rolls her over and goes for a cover but Ash ducks through the ropes and catches her breath. Billy: Big time tit for tat!Chris Avery: Ash Blake trying her best, but the Champion IS the KING and CHAMP for a reason!Black taunts as Ash steps back into the ring and they pace around and tie back up but it's Black getting the upperhand and whipping her to the corner but she climbs up and jumps back hitting a back elbow knocking Black down! They both roll to their feet and she hits the ropes and slingshots around him and rolls him up into a schoolboy, ONE! Black kicks out and goes for a clothesline but Ash ducks and hits the ropes and hits a shotgun dropkick sending Black down to his back!
