EARLIER TONIGHTThe show opens with a shot of Kyle Kemp arriving earlier and storming through the entrance to the arena. He slams the door behind him and looks dead into the eye of a security guard at the door before erupting in anger. Kyle Kemp: Where the fuck is Dandy?Security: Who?Kyle Kemp: My supposed fucking tag partner! Where the fuck is he?!Security: Oh, I, uh… I don’t know. Kemp snarls and continues to stare a hole through the security guard before the guard is overcome with fear and runs from his check point. Kemp stands there staring at where the guard was, panting in deep huffing breaths as the camera shot fades to the pyro that kicks off Clash and then Billy and Chris at ringside. LIVE ON MONDAY NIGHT CLASHChris Avery: Welcome to Clash! We’re only 2 weeks out from the biggest show in the history of Action Wrestling! What is going to come of The Following here, Billy? Billy: Who the hell knows, Chris?! I reckon we might find out tonight right here on Clash though! Chris Avery: I’m not sure it’s going to be possible for The Following’s train to be put back on the tracks at this stage.Billy: Shitfire! You might be…The arena lights go completely black. Billy: What the hell?After a moment, “Get Got” by Death Grips plays over the PA. The audience, sensing what’s coming, cheers wildly. Through the pitch blackness of the unlit arena, the lights start strobing throughout the house. Suddenly, Dandy DiVito is standing in the middle of the ring with his title slung over his right shoulder and a microphone in his hand. Chris Avery: Looks like we’re about to find out!Dandy is breathing heavily as he lifts the mic to his mouth. Dandy DiVito: I been hearin’ it since Havoc… ‘Why’d you dump yo’ own partner outta the rumble?!’Dandy shakes his head in disappointment. Dandy DiVito: I’ma tell it to y’all fuckin’ straight up: if you askin’ that bullshit fuckin’ question, you askin’ the wrong mo’fuckin’ one. The question y’all should be askin’ is this: why has Kyle Kemp put buildin’ a relationship wit’ that fuckin’ SNAKE Carter Shaw over his supp’sed-to-be family?[/i][/b] The crowd boos Shaw wildly. Dandy DiVito: Well, I’ma fill y’all in on somethin’ here… Dandy DiVito been here for Kyle Kemp for the better part of a year now, but that shit stops right here in Fort Wayne, Indiana!The crowd pops for the cheap plug. Dandy DiVito: Kemp, I know you was lookin’ fo’ me earlier, but here I am callin’ yo’ ass out! Get the fuck out here! NOW!"Awake and Alive" by Skillet begins to blare over the speakers and Kyle Kemp emerges onto the top of the stage with Chase Jackson following closely behind. Kemp stares directly into the ring with an angry look of disappointment. Kemp calls for his music to be cut and he slowly lifts his mic to his mouth. Kyle Kemp: I owe someone an apology, Dandy. Dandy’s eyebrows raise in surprise as he butts in. Dandy DiVito: YOU’RE GODDAMN RIGHT YOU DO, M’FUCKA. Kyle Kemp: When you first joined this movement, I had to do a lot of convincing and softening hurt feelings. I worked to assuage the concerns of my closest ally when he expressed worries regarding how you were a cancer, Dandy. Turns out, I was wrong, and he was right. Kemp turns his attention toward Chase Jackson. Kyle Kemp: So... Chase, I’m sorry. Chase smiles and mouths “apology accepted” as Kemp continues much to Dandy’s displeasure. Kyle Kemp: Without realizing I was doing so, I have misled you. I believed Dandy had changed his colors, but through all of this, I’ve learned that when push comes to shove, a person like Dandy is who he is. The Following is supposed to be bigger than his brand of in-fighting and self-sabotage, and yet, here we are: the longest reigning tag team champions in the history of Action Wrestling, the one stable who has been able to check the otherwise uncheckable force that is Philidor Holdings, the family that worked for nothing more than making ourselves better than we were…Dandy finally can’t take it anymore. Dandy DiVito: CUT THE SHIT, KEMP! This ain’t my fuckin’ fault! You got your head so far up yo’ fuckin’ ass, you gonna lose an eye the next time Carter slips his li’l PP in there. The crowd pops for Dandy. Dandy DiVito: I’m done playin’ wit’ kid gloves, man. I’m done treatin’ you like you anything but a fuckin’ nutjob wit’ some fuckin’ dead daddy cash who’s playin’ fuckin’ house. I ain’t yo’ fuckin’ puppet. CJ ain’t yo’ fuckin’ puppet. Wesley sure as shit ain’t yo’ fuckin’ puppet. Chase? Man, whatever. That li’l bitch can hold the camera when you wan’ make that Shaw themed sex tape. I don’t give a single fuckin’ shit. I’m done defendin’ you an’ makin’ sure you look better than you have eva fuckin’ deserved to look. I am the reason yo’ last tag title run is yo’ best tag title run, an’ you know what, Kemp? I want to fuckin’ prove it!Kemp’s eyes narrowed and he stared at Dandy intently. Dandy DiVito: I said I was callin’ you out mo’fucka. Well, here it is… At Evolution, Kemp versus DiVito, one on one in a classic fuckin’ grudge match.Kemp scoffs and shakes his head. Kyle Kemp: You want to put me in a double bind, don’t you? If you beat me, it’d show that I have lost a step from the days when I already pinned you clean under the moniker of Grayson Ward, but when I beat you at Evolution...Billy: DOES THAT MEAN HE ACCEPTS THE CHALLENGE?!Kyle Kemp: ...you losing AGAIN will just prove that The Following never made you better, right?The tension in the crowd builds up as the action rises. Kyle Kemp: Fine, Dandy. If you absolutely demand this…Dandy DiVito: OH I FUCKIN’ DO!Kyle Kemp: … then I accept! Billy: But… they’re the tag team champions?! What happens to the titles?!Chris Avery: I can’t imagine that Dandy of all people would willfully turn over a championship, so I’d have to think they’re still the Tag Team Champions!Billy: THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS ARE COMING TO BLOWS AT EVOLUTION?!Alexander Pasternak’s music interrupts the exchange, and he walks out onto the stage as well. Alexander Pasternak: Hold up, guys. If you two don’t want to play nice with each other anymore, that’s fine. I’ll make your Evolution Grudge Match official.The crowd explodes in cheers. Alexander Pasternak: However… there’s the matter of the tag championships at play here, and while I’m not one to force two people who sure seem to hate each other into a tag team, I can’t just let my tag titles just die on the vine. Chris Avery: What’s Pasternak saying here?!Alexander Pasternak: As the GM of Clash, I have an obligation to continue booking my tag champions, and I intend to do so. In fact, NEXT WEEK, Kyle Kemp and Dandy DiVito, YOU WILL defend your tag team titles against an up and coming team of challengers!Dandy is PISSED. Dandy DiVito: No, Pasta. I ain’t doin’ that shit. I’ll take them mo’fuckas on by my fuckin’ self if I gotta, but I fuckin’ AIN’T TEAMIN’ WIT’ HIM!Alexander Pasternak: Look, I don’t give a shit if Kyle lets you feed yourself to the wolves or if you both show up to pretend you don’t hate one another now. All I know for sure is that if I don’t have a tag title defense in that ring next week, you’re both fired and this Evolution match you so desperately want is canceled. I’m not playing around. You have contracts and obligations. I intend to see you fulfill them. Chris Avery: Could this be the end of the tag title reign of The Following?! Billy: It’ll sure be difficult for either of these men alone, as good as they are as solo acts, to defeat any of the competent tag teams in Action Wrestling! Can they work together for the sake of their individual glory as tag champs?!Chris Avery: What a crazy turn on the Road to Evolution!

Celebrity Havoc winner: Khalil Mack!
Billy: And we’re back to this action packed edition of Monday Night Clash, now let’s throw it up to our colleague Nate Burleson in the ring.Nate Burleson: How’s it going, Fort Wayne.The crowd cheers. Nate Burleson: Without further ado please welcome the winner of the 2021, celebrity havoc rumble winner, and the man who competed in the 2021 Havoc Rumble, from the Chicago Bears, the all pro Defensive End Khalil Mack.The theme from Monday Night football plays as Khalil and his agent make their way to the ring to a mixed reaction. Billy: Khalil Mack is here.Khalil steps into the ring and shakes hands with Nate. Nate Burleson: Khalil, everyone who has followed your career, knows you a great athlete, and one of the NFL top Defensive Ends, I know that personally, we shared the field a few times during our careers.Khalil Mack: Yeah.Nate Burleson: Now as I stated you're a great athlete and a well known celebrity, so let me ask you what it was like to compete in and win the Celebrity Havoc Rumble last Saturday.Khalil Mack: When I was approached about competing, I was more than happy to do it, and with it being in Chicago made it even sweeter.Nate Burleson: At The Havoc Rumble you competed against some of Action Wrestling greatest competitors, what was that experience like for you.Khalil Mack: Honestly, despite being eliminated, it didn’t seem that hard.Nate Burleson: So have you ever considered, maybe during the offseason giving pro wrestling a try.?Khalil Mack: It’s something I’m willing to consider, I’ve watched Wrestling on T.V and I think I could dominate in the ring like I dominate on the field, wrestling doesn’t look that hardNate Burleson: Well I can put in a word if you…..Suddenly the crowd begins to boo, the camera pans to the stage where Karlie is standing. Billy: WHAT!!!, what is Karlie Nash doing here on Clash.Karlie walks down the ramp and around the ring grabbing a mic. Karlie Nash: Give it up for Kahil Mack.Karlie walks up the steps and steps through the ropes. Khalil extends his hand, Karlie refuses to shake his hand. Karlie Nash: It's is people like you Khalil that make me sick, you think that because you have fame and celebrity it allows you to think you're above everyone. I found out that my spot in the Havoc was delegated for the winner of the completely useless and worthless Celebrity havoc Rumble.Karlie paces back and forth. Karlie Nash: Khalil, I’ve watched your career, you went from one complete *Censored* franchise in the Raiders to another *Censored* one with the Bears, and you’ve won jack *Censored*. But don’t get me wrong you're a decent player, your J.J Watt, but I digress. I be your wondering I would come out here and interrupt your little mutual admiration party, but I heard something you said and it proved your as dumb as all these Fort Wayne failures here tonight. I heard you say Wrestling doesn’t look hard, you have no *Censored* idea what it’s like to do what I do. But hey I can't have your life, can I, get paid millions of dollars to work one day a week, and have a few months of an off season to heal whatever injuries you may have.Nate mouths something to Karlie, who just brushes him off. Karlie Nash: You know what my live is like Khalil, it's on the road three hundred days a year, driving thousands sharing a car with four or five people driving from town to town functioning on little to no sleep, eating room service, or whatever place is open late at night, we wrestle hurt on a regular basis, and don’t have an off season to heal our injuries.Billy: I understand what Karlie is saying, but I don’t understand what her point is here.Karlie Nash: You say wrestling isn’t hard, I bet you probably it’s that F-word that wrestlers hate to hear to describe our business. You know what we are Khalil, we are professional wrestlers and we go out every night with one take and no safety net, people like you look down on the sport like it’s a joke, but believe me Khalil we’re not laughing, honestly it pisses me the *Censored* off, maybe what you need is a *Censored* lesson on what it's really like to try and do what I do on a nightly basis, so if you got the balls, I’m challenging you to a match anytime anyplace.Billy: WHAT!!!!, did we just hear Karlie challenge the all-pro Khalil Mack to a match.Chris Avery: That’s exactly what she did Billy, and I’m all for it.Karlie Nash: So what is going to be Khalil?Khali speaks to his agent. Khalil’s agent: Miss Nash, on behalf of my client, we decline.Karlie smirks. Karlie Nash: Just what I thought, all talk, no balls, so do everyone and favor and get out of my ring, before I cause Action Wrestling a huge lawsuit.As Khali turns to leave, Karlie delivers a low blow. Nate pushes Karlie back and speaks something to her as medic staff enter the ring to check on Khalil. Karlie steps out of the ring, says two words to Khalil, anytime, anyplace, then walks up the ramp.

The Colonnade vs. Neo & Eric Steel
Clash cuts to the ring as the makeshift team of Neo and Eric Steel are already in the ring. An unsettling hush comes over the crowd, just before the lights are cut off like someone blowing out a candle. A red strobe pulsates to life as The Duchess of Bedlam methodically walks out to center stage draped in a white sheer veil, her hands bound in a prayer. Byron steps out from behind the curtain dressed in his black trunks with crimson trim, black boots with black wraparound kick pads, and his hands and wrists taped up with black tape. A flowing priest stole with the red pillar-shaped insignia of The Colonnade gives him a mark of authority. He moves slowly around The Duchess, eyeing her up and down, he goes in to lift her veil, but instead grabs a hold of the red rope. Suddenly, "Everybody Knows" by Wild Fire begins. As the song picks up, Lester Parish appears behind him in a road-worn white button up shirt with faded pinstripes and black slacks. A black leather mask covers his face as the lights dim to back to normal levels. Adilene Floyd: Accompanied to the ring by Lady Envy "The Duchess of Bedlam"... And entering the ring at a combined weight of 525 pounds... Representing the Colonnade... "The Sin Eater" Byron Bathory and Lester Parish!Bathory turns toward the ramp and gives a cocky smile as he slowly pulls The Duchess along with him. Fans reach out, but Byron blows them off and jaws at them for their trouble. Parish takes to the opposite staircase and walks into the ring with no theatrics behind his powerful, lumbering gait. Byron gets to the ring, leading The Duchess up the stairs, where he slowly unties her hands. The two enter center stage as The Duchess circles him, offering his finely chiseled physique to the crowd. The Duchess lowers herself to her knees at Byron's side, she looks up at him as she grabs onto his leg and she slowly pulls up her veil, revealing a demonic smile. Byron nods with his own crazed look before the lights cut back off. Parish leers from over them for a moment before the team disperses to their corner. Billy: SHITFIRE! What a monster team these two are turning out to be.Chris Avery: I think they’re undefeated as a team, Billy! They may have a shot at the tag team champions sometime soon!The referee signals for the bell to begin the match. The monstrous Lester charges across the ring and double clotheslines both Neo and Eric Steel. Lester grabs them both by the throats before they can react and yells out before nailing a huge double chokeslam. Neo wisely rolls out of the ring while Eric staggers to his feet and eats a big boot before Lester tags in Bathory. Neo reaches in and tags in somehow! Billy: Whoa hes back in the match?!Neo delivers a huge spinebuster to Lester Parrish, and Byron Bathory enters the fold, gearing for an attack on Neo. Neo ducks under the forearm and connects with a backbreaker to Bathory! Steel is hopping up and down on the apron, begging to be let into the action, but Neo is ignoring his plea! Chris Avery: It appears that Neo has seen everything he wants to see out of Eric Steel, and his contributions aren’t cutting it!Billy: He wants to finish this off himself!Steel takes this as a sign of disrespect and enters the ring, running at Neo, but Neo tosses him all the way out of the ring with his own momentum! Lester charges at Neo, who drops him with the swinging STO out of nowhere! Chris Avery: BLACK FLASH!Billy: This is it!1… 2… Bathory dives for the break! ...3! Chris Avery: But he’s too late! That’s it! Billy: Neo has won this match for his team! What a gutsy performance!Neo rolls out of the ring as his music hits on the speakers. Bathory and Parrish are arguing in the middle of the ring, wondering what the hell just happened! Steel reenters, seemingly unaware that the match is already over, and walks right into the Tower of Babble by the Colonnade! Neo watches them and smirks as Eric Steel is laid out in the middle of the ring! Chris Avery: And for some tag team therapy, the Colonnade punish Eric Steel out of nowhere!Billy: Nothing cuts the tension like some tag team chemistry, Chris! It’s a shame Eric Steel had to bear the punishment!
Chris Avery: You hate to see it.
The Colonnade exit the ring through the crowd as Neo stands over Steel, and for the first time since joining Action Wrestling, he seems… happy. “I’M THE BAAAAAAAAD GUYYYYYYYYYY”
Chris Avery: What the…
“DUH!”
Billy: What in the holy hell? What in God’s name??Chris Avery: That’s Lissie Hope!Billy: And she’s not alone!Billie Eilish’s “bad guy” morphs into a slowed down, trippy remix as Lissie Hope appears from behind the curtain, the crowd exploding in a chorus of boos! She’s followed by the big bodies of Samson Saltair and Peter Garvey, the H.R. Department, as the three slowly saunter down the ramp, indulging the crowd reaction but not even acknowledging it! Chris Avery: What the hell is Philidor Holdings doing out here??Billy: Oh boy, we could have some fireworks right now!Neo slides out of the ring and the crowd ignites, thinking there’s going to be an impending face off right now between Neo and Lissie Hope! The two come face to face with one another, the crowd wondering what the hell is going on… but they graze shoulders and Neo walks right past her! Chris Avery: What the hell is happening?Billy: Oh no, they’re entering the ring!Lissie slides under the ropes first, crawling towards the beaten Eric Steel! The HR Department slowly follow each other up the ring steps as Lissie holds Eric’s head in her hands! She’s caressing his face, showing a ton of concern for fallen upcoming superstar! Billy: Her heart isn’t all black, Chris! She knows that what happened in the ring tonight wasn’t right!Chris Avery: She did say she wanted to see him in her direct messa--AND LISSIE SLAMS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD ON THE CANVAS! Chris Avery: OH FOR GOD’S SAKE!LISSIE STOMPS ON STEEL’S FACE, RUBBING HER BOOT OVER HIS EYES AND NOSE! GARVEY PULLS HIM UP AND HEADBUTTS HIM! HE THEN PUSHES HIM OVER TO SALTAIR, WHO GRIPS HIM WITH A DOUBLE-CHOKE, LIFTING HIM UP OFF HIS FEET! STEEL DANGLES IN THE CHOKE AS SALTAIR SHAKES HIM, BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH A SITOUT CHOKESLAM! Billy: Jesus almighty! They’re destroying this kid, for no good reason!Chris Avery: Just to show they can!Lissie observes casually and without emotion as Garvey climbs the top rope, connecting with a leg drop across Steel’s neck! They then pull him to his feet, even as he’s stumbling in a knockout trance, and exchange stiff right hands across his temple! They hold him up as Lissie walks up to him slowly, ironically running the back of her hand along his bloody cheek, before kicking him in the gut and ruthlessly dropping him with the Crown of Thorns! Billy: WHY? WHAT DOES THIS PROVE, LISSIE??Chris Avery: SHE’S GETTING A MIC!The boos are pouring in all around now. Lissie stands in the center of the ring, flanked on both sides by the H.R. Department. Neo is still hovering near the entrance of the stage, watching what happened. Lissie Hope: I had one goal last week, and that was to walk out of Havoc Rumble the winner, punching my ticket to Evolution to fight for the World Heavyweight Championship. I wanted to compete against my sister in arms, my sponsor, the only person who’s given me direction and purpose, because I wanted to ensure that the title stayed in control of Philidor Holdings. But I didn’t finish the job.Lissie looks down at Eric Steel and kicks him in the midsection, the anger dripping from her soul. Chris Avery: Jesus, Lissie! This kid didn’t have anything to do with that!Lissie Hope: And I think the only reason I couldn’t was because my mind was elsewhere. It was occupied by the tragic beating we witnessed earlier in the night. I had begged for forgiveness, but I never got the chance for atonement. So now? From now on? I’m not apologizing for shit anymore.Another punt! This time, her boot cracks right under Steel’s jaw, the blood beginning to pour from his mouth! Medical personnel begin to run down the ramp now! Lissie Hope: Evolution is three weeks away. Action Wrestling is breaking the bank hiring superstars from all corners of the industry to come in and make a splash. They’re bringing in guys like… James Raven…The fans erupt in cheers, responding to the huge match that was signed earlier this week! Lissie Hope: ...and in talks with people like… Shawn Warstein…Billy: That’s his tag team partner!The disgust is evident in Lissie’s eyes. Lissie Hope: ...they tried to sign me up against someone like Daniel MacNamara…The crowd hushes. Chris Avery: Who?Lissie Hope: Doesn’t Action Wrestling realize that I am the marquee name? You put anyone against me, and tickets will sell. Put my face on the poster, against anyone, and people will be pulling out their wallets! I will NOT allow them to take me for granted!Lissie pulls Eric Steel up and the three of them throw him over the top rope to the waiting medical staff! They immediately start strapping him to the backboard. Lissie Hope: I need to hurt someone. This is my therapy. And there’s a long list of people back there that want to throw themselves to this wolf. People like Max Daemon, who despite having failed to demonstrate that he has even EARNED a place in my ring -- he seems intent on telling the world that I’m his primary objective. That I’ve somehow wronged him, or kept him down, when I’ve repeatedly told him that he is not even on my radar. Max Daemon poses absolutely zero threat to me, or to MY objective, of winning the World Heavyweight Championship for a third time. So no, Max… I will not be fighting you at Evolution.The fans boo as Lissie’s arrogance and dismissiveness is antithetical to what they fell in love with about her in the first place. Lissie Hope: What about that guy who moonlights as Corey and Frank’s personal assistant? When they throw a ball, he fetches, like a desperate mutt begging for attention? Who shows up once in awhile to make some grandiose entrance only to be cast aside time after time again? The guy who wanted to take me to lesser venues and lesser crowds without my family? No, Graham Baker… even if you manage to get an invitation to Evolution, I still will not give you the satisfaction.
The fans are out of control now, completely hating this side of Lissie Hope. Lissie Hope: Let’s run down a list of a few people who would generate a little damn excitement, shall we? What about Jill Park? She’s quickly making a name for herself, isn’t she? Even I can admit that but honey? You ain’t ready for me yet. Or Regan Voorhees, someone who’s scored a pinfall over me before, but she might have her sights set elsewhere. What about you, my dovely… Atara Themis? Maybe not Evolution, babe, but probably sooner than later.Chris Avery: What the hell is Lissie even talking about?? This is so unlike her!Lissie Hope: EVERYONE HATES LISSIE HOPE!After her outburst, she relaxes herself, shaking out her hands, breathing out deeply, trying to regain her composure. Peter Garvey checks on her, and she nods her head, assuring that she’s okay. Billy: She’s flying off the damn handle, Chris!Lissie Hope: I’m sorry, Action Wrestling, for my actions tonight. I just want a match. A marquee match, a once in a lifetime match. If I’m not going to fight for the World Championship, then I want my Evolution to be special… I deserve it, don’t I? I know you all deserve it, too. Raven and Corey Black is going to be great… but I want mine to be GREATER. But in order to do that, we can’t have people like Eric Steel taking up airtime…The H.R. Department confuse everyone in the arena as they split from Lissie’s side and exit the ring on either side. The medics are just finished strapping Steel to the gurney. Lissie Hope: ...so we’re here to take out the trash. Chris Avery: WHAT THE HELL??Billy: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!The H.R. Department close in from either side and the medics scatter like cockroaches, leaving Eric Steel lying motionless, strapped down! They rain down punches onto the defenseless victim, who has no way of fighting back! Chris Avery: And Lissie is just watching them with that sick, twisted expression in her eyes!Billy: To tell you the truth, Chris, I don’t see anything in her eyes at all! She’s blank, she’s a void now! And that’s terrifying!Lissie Hope: And someone really oughta clean this mess up.OUT OF NOWHERE, NEO APPROACHES FROM THE RAMP, DRIVING A KNEE INTO STEEL! HE THEN PICKS UP STEEL, STRAPPED TO THAT BACKBOARD, AND DRIVES HIM HEADFIRST INTO THE STEEL TURNBUCKLE POST! THE CUT ON HIS FOREHEAD BURSTS OPEN AGAIN AS THE THREE OF THEM, NEO AND THE HR DEPARTMENT, FOLD HIM LIKE AN ACCORDION BACKFIRST INTO THE CORNER POST, SNAPPING THE BACKBOARD IN HALF! Chris Avery: WHAT IN GOD’S NAME, BILLY!??Billy: NEO! IS HE IN PHILIDOR HOLDINGS??Chris Avery: IT APPEARS SO! THE CLUES WERE ALL THERE! ALL THIS TIME! WE JUST DIDN’T SEE THEM!Billy: NOBODY READ BETWEEN THE LINES! OR ANYTHING AT ALL! Chris Avery: THIS IS SICK! DEMENTED! THEY DESTROYED THIS KID, AND FOR WHAT? SO LISSIE CAN ENSURE HERSELF A BIG MATCH AT EVOLUTION? SO NEO CAN MAKE HIS FORMAL INTRODUCTION?Billy: I THINK YOU JUST ANSWERED YOUR OWN QUESTION, CHRIS!Action Wrestling fades to a commercial.

A camera sets up quickly and we zoom in on Bathory and Lester yelling at each other in some part of the arena.
Hard to make out words or hear them.
Lester shoves Bathory.
Bathory shoves Lester.
The two go face to face and continue yelling at each other.
We fade to a commercial.

Downfall & Dionysus Segment
Scene switches backstage, to show Dionysus at the catering table, savoring an entire bowl of Tosito's to himself. When someone steps closer to the table, Dion hoards the bowl to himself as if he's protecting it, but then he pauses when he sees Downfall is staring at him, a bit bemused. Dionysus straightens up. Downfall: Dion, tonight you're going out there against Price, and I think -While Downfall has started talking, Dionysus is slowly moving a chip up to his mouth in increments, punctuated by a loud crunch. Downfall hesitates, then grimaces. Downfall: I think I should go out there with you... to make sure that Mason Jones doesn't interfere, and maybe as a -Dionysus just cocks an eyebrow at him, as if telling him to finish his thought. Downfall, frustrated by Dion being the way he is, grunts angrily. Dion slowly brings another Tostito up to his mouth and crunches it. Downfall: I - God dammit Dion...!Downfall knocks the bowl of delicious Tostito's off the table, showering the catering area with corn chips. Downfall: Dion, I need you to go out there tonight with some of the same determination that you brought at Havoc. The same determination that made your crazy ass start at number one and last all the way to the final 15... that's taken you from a meme to a respected competitor.Dionysus: Then why would I need you in my corner, Daniel?Apopleptic, Downfall's mouth works, but only frustrated stutters are coming out as he gestures his hands angrily in front of him. Downfall: Listen... when we teamed up against Nightingale and Black in Havoc, you and I clicked in a way that I haven't really ever experienced. I don't know why you and I have this chemistry, Dion... you annoy the living piss out of me, but when we're in proximity it's like one iron sharpening another. We make each other better. I think that our performance in the Havoc match showed that.Dionysus listens, looking at Downfall. Dionysus: I can't dispute that... but on the other hand. You just wasted all of my Tostito's.Downfall lets out a growl, and looks like he might want to strangle Dion. Dionysus: As for the rest, I'll tell you my answer in the ring.Dionysus walks off to go get prepared for his match.

Clarence Hendricks Segment
We open back up on CBS' Monday Night Clash where a figure is sitting on a steel chair in the middle of the ring. The lights come down and a spotlight showcases the figure. It's Clarence Hendricks. He's dressed in his nice suit and begins his debut promo. Clarence Hendricks: My name is Clarence Hendricks and I've been locked up in jail for the last 25 years for a crime I didn't commit.The crowd oohs and ahhs. Clarence Hendricks: It was an October night, I remember it rained the few days prior but it was a beautiful dry humid air that night. There was a shooting a few blocks from me. An elder lady was car jacked. It was sad. She survived the gun shot that pierced through her leg but they got her car. They didn't make it very far as they crashed it into a ditch and stole some of her belongings out. At least that's the true side of the story. Ya'see, officers came looking for the criminals who did that and when they hit my block, huh, it was Officer Darren Marsh who stood in front of me trying to get a story that wasn't true out of me.The crowd boos. Clarence Hendricks: I was at home with my brother and his kids. We decided to stay in that night and watch movies and eat popcorn, but that wasn't what Marsh wanted to hear, ya'know? He wanted me to confess to something I didn't do. He questioned me for hours, trying to pry some fake truth out of me. I had an alibi, but he didn't care. I had the truth on my side but he didn't care. Because I looked different than him, he wanted to swing his power any way that he could.The crowd boos at Marsh. Clarence Hendricks: The next morning, I heard a knock on the door and I was arrested by Officer Darren Marsh for the shooting and car-jacking the night prior. I was shocked. My brother was stunned. They threw me into the police car like a pile of garbage. They hauled me to the jail which was only 2 miles away but I remember every red light. Ya'see, every time they stopped at a redlight, Officer Marsh who was sitting next to me in the back seat would back hand me across my face. I was defenseless, I was in handcuffs, but I remember. We stopped at 8 redlights and I'll never forget those slaps.The crowd boos. Clarence Hendricks: Officer Marsh and his dumb cops rushed my jail sentence through the courts, but I knew I was innocent, and I knew the system was crooked but I knew I would be set free. Officer Marsh got on the stand and said he was patrolling that specific street and saw me shoot the elder lady and carjack her. It was all a lie. Officer Marsh was praised as a local hero to some, and I was thrown in jail for 30 years.The crowd boos and sighs. Clarence Hendricks: 25 years of me sitting in that jail cell wondering if I would ever get out. 25 years I sat in Jail eating disgusting food, blaming a system that wasn't designed for me, but nah, 25 years I should have been blaming one specific officer. But then, I let it go. I woke up one morning and decided my fate was to sit in that jail for the rest of my life.. until one night some of the boys were watching Monday Night Clash.The crowd cheers as the ActionTron lights up with Sheriff Darren Marsh cutting promos and losing matches. The ActionTron fades out. Clarence Hendricks: He was promoted to Sheriff, he moved to Las Vegas and now he believes he's an Action Wrestling superstar? I couldn't believe it. Me, an innocent black man thrown in jail for 25 years for a crime he didn't commit and this guilty fat slob promoted, relocated and shining bright as a professional wrestler. That's when I got better lawyers on my case thanks to the President of the United States Joe Biden. I got my case opened back up and there it was, in true through and through.. I was innocent. Two men came forward and admitted it was all them and I had absolutely no connection or ties to them. I was a free man.The crowd cheers. Clarence Hendricks: Someone asked me the second I stepped outside, what my plan was.. and I said justice and revenge. Well, Officer Marsh, it's time for justice and revenge.The crowd pops. Clarence Hendricks: I signed an Action Wrestling contract, I got some training at Avery Wrestling School, and now I'm here to challenge a ma-The ActionTron lights up. It's Darren Marsh and Big Bubba standing in front of a jail cell. Darren Marsh: Ohhhh Clarence, Clarence, Clarence, you dumb son of a bitch.The crowd boos. Darren Marsh: Boy, you gotta lotta nerve showin' up to MY NECK OF THE WOODS! That ring is MINE. Action Wrestling is MINE and I don't care what no jury or bum President says about you, boy I know you're guilty and I ain't bout to let you STEAL my spotlight now, you criminal!The crowd boos. We see Clarence still sitting in the steel chair quiet and stoic. Darren Marsh: I'm a bit hard at hearing boy, but did you say.. no, we're you about to ask me about a match?! You think I'm going to FIGHT YOU? HA!The crowd boos. Darren Marsh: You don't DESERVE a match, Clarence! You're a thug! A criminal! A damn near homeless person if ya ask me! I'm rich, I'm wealthy, I'm a man of power Clarence and you're nothing but a shitty little street thug crying home to momma and daddy about how you were locked up in Jail! You committed that crime, you LIAR!The crowd boos. Darren Marsh: This place look familiar, Clarence? Bubba and I are standing in front of the jail that I threw your ass in! I was so happy to catch you, and boy, because of you my career hit all new heights! I was given promotion after promotion, raise after raise, that small town LOVED ME like their own son! I was relocated to Las Vegas because of your case! Boy, I should be THANKING you for the life you've given me! Because you carjacked that old lady, I've made a FORTUNE!The crowd boos. Clarence Hendricks: You know I was innocent, Marsh..Darren Marsh: Boy, shut up! Aint nobody ask you no damn question! You want a match with me? Well, NO. I ain't doin it. You don't get a match with me you street thug! You don't deserve it! You'll never deserve it! Now get the hell out of my ring! Next week, Bubba and I are going to have a match because we're WRESTLERS and you're a basic ass criminal, boy!Marsh reaches over and cuts the camera feed. Clarence Hendricks drops the microphone and stands up in the middle of the ring. The crowd buzzing. We take a commercial break.

Someone Just Arrived..
The scene opens in the back where Raging Frank Lowe is stepping out of his classic and perfect 1973 Cadillac Coupe DeVille at the Clash arena. His face is contorted into a snarl as he spots a blemish on the car’s surface and he breathes on it to buff out the spot. Shooter and Noose, both already in the arena, approach Lowe. Shooter: Man, Frank, Bull is on a fuckin’ rampage tonight. Real fuckin’ pissed off about you eliminating him from Havoc.Frank’s angry face turns to a sarcastic smile. Raging Frank Lowe: Oh he is, huh? Man. Ain’t that a bitch? Doesn’t like it when somebody ruins his shot at a career defining victory, huh?Frank shakes his head for a moment before his face contorts back to pure anger. Raging Frank Lowe: ME FUCKING NEITHER!Lowe grabs his bag out of the trunk of the car and locks it as he walks off toward the locker room. Shooter and Noose stand there by the car looking at one another for a beat until Lowe butts in. Raging Frank Lowe: GET YOUR ASSES OVER HERE!The Hangmen scramble to follow Lowe and the scene fades.

John Black vs. Allister Rambert Adilene Floyd: The following is scheduled for ONE FALL! Introducing first, weighing in at 135 lbs... ALLISTER RAMBERT!!A police siren blares for the first few seconds of the entrance, the lights dim and pulsate like the lights of a police car. The siren and the lights stop and for a second the arena is dark. The words "So FUCKING What!" Ring and the opening chords of the song begin. The camera pans around the arena as his song continues before finding the area of the crowd he is entering through. He walks with an aggressive confidence, rudely brushing off any fans and occasionally making an aggressive lunge at them pointing and cursing he then jumps the barrier as his song reaches its chorus (he tries to make his jump occur at the utterance of "cunt" but doesn't always make it). He climbs the ring stairs at the first "who cares!" trying to enter the ring on "what you do!" then struts his way to the opposite turnbuckle, climbs it making rude gestures at the audience (usually a middle finger or inverting the peace sign and running his tongue between the fingers) before heading to the center of the ring before the end of the first course. Chris Avery: Everyone is coming out of Havoc looking to build some momentum heading into the biggest event of the year, and that includes newer people looking to make a name for themselves!Billy: We don't know too much about this guy, but his entrance music is gonna get us some pretty hefty FCC fines!Adilene Floyd: And his opponent, weighing in at 260 lbs... JOHN BLACK!!The lights goes out, and we hear the record scratching, then once "I get Real Raw" is heard JB comes out to the stage with the lights on as the song plays on the iron. He then stands at the entrance way, looking at the crowd and walks down to the ramp and gives everyone some daps. Then he slides into the ring, and stands at the corner and taunts to everyone. Then he stands in the middle of the ring as his theme cuts off. Chris Avery: The ever-popular Mr. Underground, had an impressive showing in Havoc and now he's looking towards his future. There is nobody as unique and charismatic as Black!John looks to lock up with Rambert to which Allister ducks under to a pop from the crowd as he turns and faces John and shakes his finger at him. Incensed by the douchiness, Black charges towards Rambert. Rambert sidesteps John, sending Black bouncing off the ropes. On the return he swings for a clothesline. Rambert ducks the attempt, spins around and looks for a standing superkick. Black ducks this and looks for an electric chair counter which is countered into a victory roll. Chris Avery: Almost surprised Black here!The referee: One... Kickout. John powers out quickly, and both he and Rambert are to a vertical base. Allister snakes in quicker, snatches a side head lock. Black quickly counters with a side suplex. Black pops back up to his feet where he reaches down picking Rambert up, he locks a back waist lock and delivers a release german Suplex. John is quickly into the cover hooking the near leg. The referee: One... Kickout. Chris Avery: John certainly has the strength advantage and if he continues to exploit it he might find himself on the winning side of this equation.Billy: He's a beefy boi, that's fer sure!!JB pulls himself up, reaching down picking Allister up off the mat. He takes Rambert back into the ropes where he slings him across the ring, Rambert bounces off the ropes where on the return, he looks to scoop Rambert up for a pop-up powerbomb. Rambert counters with a sunset flip bomb, taking Black to the mat. Chris Avery: They've always said speed kills, Billy!!Billy: For real, I always thought that was a drug thing.Black claps his legs together, sandwiching Allister's head and making Rambert fall back. Mr Underground then gets to his feet, not wasting a moment to catch Allister with a boot to the midsection. He hoists Rambert up in the air looking to drive him into the mat with a powerbomb. The crowd reacts with surprise as Rambert counters into a sitout facebuster. Black bounces face first off the mat and rolls to his back. Allister nips up to both feet in the corner, then he sizes JB up as he is pulling himself up into the corner. Allister charges across across the ring deliver a running knee to the jaw of Black followed by driving Black face first into the mat with a running bulldog head lock. Rambert pops back up off the mat where he rolls John over to his back, Rambert charges towards the rope where he spring boards off the middle rope delivering a legdrop across the throat of Black! Rambert rolls John over making the cover hooking the near leg. The ref: One... Two... Kickout. Chris Avery: Another kick out by Black! Rambert is quickening the pace.Billy: The boy weighs a buck fifty with his shoes on, he needs to do something to take the big chungus down!!Allister takes a moment to take in a few lungfuls of air, and look sinisterly out at the crowd, who respond with a vague series of boos to the currently unlikable newcomer. Allister taunts the people at ringside as he gets to his feet, and he pulls his opponent up by the back of his head. JB lays against the ropes, dazed and blinking. Allister laces Black across the chest with a knife edge chop that echoes throughout the arena followed by a stiff European uppercut rocking Black back into the ropes. Rambert comes forward, bringing Black out towards the center of the ring, and hooking a front facelock for an obvious suplex attempt. Black firmly plants his feet effectively blocking the attempt before he hoists Rambert up in the air and drives him down into the mat with a jackhammer! Black has the cover. Chris Avery: There was no way that was going to happen.The ref: One... Two... Kickout. Black looks flustered by the kickout, and squints his eyes at him opponent. John shifts his attention back towards Rambert where he reaches down picking Allister up off the mat only to see Rambert force Black down to the mat with a arm bar take down where he quickly transitions into a triangle choke. Allister starts bobbing his head as he uses his legs to cut the windpipe of Black off. Chris Avery: He calls this Auld Triangle!! Black is in trouble!!The referee is in position where he begins asking John if he wants to surrender. Black is bent over double with the weight of Allister forcing him down, but he waves his free arm and shakes with effort. His movements are starting to become sluggish as several seconds tick by in the hold, but he refuses to give up. Rambert yells for him to give up. Finally, Black's arm begins shaking and vibrating with a renewed surge of energy. He starts pulling himself up, with Allister hanging on to the triangle, and holds him suspended in air for a moment before dropping him down to the mat with a powerbomb that lands Allister flat on his back! Somehow, Allister doesn't fully let go of the Auld Triangle, but JB holds the legs and lifts him back up to powerbomb him again! Allister lays on the mat, flattened like a pancake, and JB falls to his knees, gasping and desperately trying to recover some oxygen into his abused lungs. Neither man is able to move for several long moments. Chris Avery: Black broke free! This could be a turning point of the match!Black delivers a knee to Allister’s midsection, backs him into the ropes, sends him in for the Irish whip, and attempts to deliver a decapitating clothesline, but Allister goes underneath. He then follows this up with a leap to the second rope, a quick turnaround, and a forearm that staggers Black up against the opposite side ropes. Allister quickly gets up to his feet and thwarts any offense Black might have been planning with a stiff knife edge chop that makes Black reel off the ropes. Allister levels him with another chop, the echo bouncing around the walls of the arena. Black ducks under the next chop, hook the arm and gets behind the Irish native. He quickly hooks the other arm back and delivers a tiger suplex, then a cover. The referee: One... Two... Thr- Kickout. Chris Avery: Rambert is really proving himself tonight.Billy: I heard he was in prison, guys like that have to be tough so they don't get shanked in the line for commissary.Chris Avery: Where the hell did you hear that?Billy: His bio says it. Or not. It's a little vague.Black is too beaten down to immediately go back on the offensive, but he takes a few moments to recover and shake the cobwebs out. Allister is laid straight on his back, gasping for air. The referee checks on both men, but Black waves him off. Black goes to lift Allister up. Allister pokes him in the eye, making him stumble away. Allister pulls himself the rest of the way to his feet. Black comes in and attempts to deliver a punch, but Allister catches the arm, delivers a high muay-thai kick to the bicep, then delivers a back kick to the abdomen, Allister spins around, grabs Black by the right arm and pulling him in for a bicycle knee. He wastes no time in picking Black back up, delivering a neck chop and a kick to the midsection before running off the ropes. Black decides it’s time to perk up and hooks Allister around the waist before throwing him overhead in a belly to belly suplex that makes some of the front row fans cringe since he was all folded up on the ropes, like an accordion. Billy: SHITFIRE!Black yells out to the crowd, getting them fired up, and then Mr. Underground waits for Allister to get up before giving him a two-piece and a biscuit series of punches to the face and then the ribs. Allister falls back on spaghetti legs, into the ropes which bounce him back into the arms of Black. Black then wraps Allister up in a pumphandle before slamming him to the mat with force. Chris Avery: Jiggy Piggy Slam!! Black is on fire!!Black drops down for the cover! The referee: One... Two... Thre - Kickout! Black can't believe it. He holds his hands to his head in consternation, then punches the mat. He grits his teeth and starts getting to his feet, and pulls Rambert up. Rambert uses the referee's position behind Blacks' broad back to knee him in the groin, and Black doubles over, all the wind taken out of his sails. The referee is all on Allister's back now, letting him off with a stern warning and talking to but Allister protests his innocence and that everything is above board. Black winces and holds his midsection, blowing out a breath and cringing. Billy: Guess he learned that move in prison!Allister boots Black hard in the face, making him fall onto his back. Allister then positions himself over Black and nails a standing moonsault, coming down across the midsection of Black. Allister then runs to the ropes, for good measure, and hits a Lionsault across the midsection again, then stays on top for the pin. The referee: One... Two... Three - Kickout! Allister's face ripples with shock and outrage, and he snaps at the referee, demanding he tell that it was two. Allister gets to his feet, shoving the referee, who tells him he's already on thin ice. Allister, aggravated, looks over at Black, and he begins aggressively booting and stomping him while he's down. The crowd boo's, and then Allister struggles to lift Black to his feet. Black, dazed, is little more than dead weight. Allister grabs the arm of Black and pulls him up, going for a shortarm clothesline, but as it strikes the chest and under the chin of Black, Black straightens up. Black's eyes open up and he roars, having eaten the clothesline entirely and feeling nothing but rage. Black motions for Allister to give him another one, and Allister tries to clothesline him again, but this time Black catches him incoming and chokeslams the smaller man to the mat. He doesn't waste time or the fading surge of adrenaline, he grabs Allister, lifts him up for a torture rack and drops it into a DDT. Chris Avery: Blacka Jacka connects!!Allister rolls to the ropes, just out of reach, and Black rests on his side, gasping for air. The crowd is going crazy, and both men have given it everything they have. Rambert rushes over but John Black hits him with that clap back lights out finisher! Black pins!! Billy: SHITFIRE MY GOD!!One! Two! Three! DING DING DING
Chris Avery: John Black is victorious again on Clash!
Black stands up and celebrates as we slowly fade to a commercial.

James Nightingale & Alice Segment
Clash returns from a commercial break. The feed starts at the announcer’s table, with Billy and Chris Avery poised to talk to the audience. Billy: As we reflect upon last week's incredible Havoc match, one thing that perhaps flew under the radar was the serious injuries sustained by Matthias Mintzel. We are going backstage to Nate Burleson, who has an update for us regarding the inaugural Pure champion.The camera transitions to Nate backstage, holding a microphone as he blissfully smiles away. Billy: Nate… take it away!Nate Burleson: Thank you, Billy. Matthias Mintzel sustained…[Inaudible shouting] Nate’s attention is drawn to the shouting, which appears to have originated from down the corridor. He attempts to restart his update. Nate Burleson: Sorry about that… as I was saying…[Inaudible shouting] Nate again stops, he mutters to the cameraman, instructing him to follow Burleson down the corridor. The shouting grows louder. They locate its origin, it is coming from the MS-13 dressing room. The door is ajar; Nate peers through the gap whilst the cameraman records a heated exchange between James Nightingale and Alice. Nightingale sits in a chair with his back to his wife, whilst she stands over James, berating him. Alice: What the fuck is wrong with you, James? I did this for you… EVERYTHING I DO IS FOR YOU!!Nightingale stands with authority, picking up the chair and throwing it against the wall in frustration. He squares up to his wife. James Nightingale: Don’t you dare take that tone with me… this whole war against QDT and Jenna was never for me… IT WAS ABOUT YOU !!His words, his change in temperament silence’s Alice; he continues. James Nightingale: Your bloody war has gotten out of hand… and now it is MESSING WITH MY BUSINESS!! He eliminated me from Havoc… ME!!! I have missed out on the main event of Evolution because you failed to see through your plan…He then turns his attention to Adrian and the rest of MS-13 James Nightingale: YOU HAVE ALL FAILED ME!… YOU FUMBLED YOUR ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT!!… AND YOU LET HIM ESCAPE AND COST ME MY VICTORY!!!He lowers himself to Alice’s level and speaks to her in a patronising tone. James Nightingale: Your career might be on a downward spiral my love, but mine is…She slaps him hard across the face, cutting him off. He holds his cheek as his face fills with rage. As he stands back, he catches sight of Nate and the cameraman. He nods to Adrian to draw his Sergeant-in-Arms attention to his discovery. Adrian turns and looks at Nate whilst Nightingale responds to Alice’s violent outburst with a more restrained tone. James Nightingale: I refuse to fight this battle for you my love. This whole situation is your mess, if you still think you're the star you once were… you fight them, you’re supposed to be Hard as Fuck afterall. And regardless of this mess, she has chosen our next victim for Evolution, the time has come for…Before Nate can hear the name of Nightingale’s intended target, Adrian’s hulking presence fills the gap in the door. Adrian: SHOWS OVER!!He then kicks the door, slamming it shut loudly, narrowly missing Nate’s face. The backstage interview quickly recomposes himself before looking into the camera once more. Nate Burleson: I’m not sure what’s exactly going on between The Angel of Death and the Hard as Fuck Girl, but it’s fair to say there are some problems in the Nightingale household.Billy: Ok Nate, thank you for this inside scoop!Chris Avery: Great real-time reporting there…Billy: We are going to take another look at the AW 2K21 game trailer which debuted during the Havoc Pre-Show.The trailer begins to play.

#1 Contender for Television Championship Rampage vs. Donovan Rayne Adilene Floyd: The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL (...) and is a #1 contendership match for the AW Television Championship.War Ready by Def Rebel hits and the ActionTron strobes and lights up with RAMPAGE logos. Rampage walks out from behind the curtain and poses on the top of the stage. Adilene Floyd begins to introduce Rampage as he brushes off the few fans who are trying to reach out and touch Rampage. He doesn't let them get close and gives them a snarl just for thinking about it. Adilene Floyd: Introducing first...Standing at 6'1, weighing 328 pounds, he is the Brick Wall.. RAAAAAMPAAAAGE!Rampage stomps his one foot down on the steel steps and looks menacing out at the crowd. He climbs up the steps onto the apron and wipes his feet before getting into the ring where he quickly turns and yells out towards the crowd and the camera letting everyone know Rampage is here and he's born angry. Billy: Rampage has ALL of AW on notice, he is a beast on the rise here with a great opportunity to earn this Television Title shot!Chris Avery: He’s one of the most athletic ‘big men’ I’ve seen come through in quite some time, anyone who stands across the ring from them has a tall task.The house lights dim down, and a single solitary spotlight shines on the entrance way. Suddenly, the sounds of Machine Gun Kelly's "LOCO” hit over the speakers in the arena. The crowd’s silence instantly turns to jeers. From behind the curtain emerges The Stand Out Donovan Rayne. As he stands firmly into the spotlight, his head is looking down. Suddenly, the vivacious Delta Rayne walks out from behind the curtain and stands at her brother’s side. A devious smirk on her face, she quickly spins around in a complete three sixty. Then, as she slowly raises her right arm, Donovan raises his head with a confident smirk on his face. Putting her hands on the collar of his leather jacket, he pops it as the fans boo him. Adilene Floyd: And his opponent, from the BRIGHT LIGHTS of Hollywood, California...accompanied by Delta Rayne, he is THE STAND OUT DONOVAN RAAAAAYNE!With a confident swagger, the Rayne’s start to walk down towards the ring. With her hands firmly on her hips, Delta can be seen jaw-jacking the fans that are near the aisle way. While she does this, Donovan laughs as his sister verbally eviscerates the fans. As the two make their way to the ringside area, Delta stops walking. Donovan continues to the ring, and climbs up onto the apron of the ring. With the fans continuing their parade of boos, Donovan faces his back to the ring. With his arms now raised into the air, he throws up two peace signs, almost as an non-acknowledgement of the hatred of the fans. The Provocateur then makes her way over to the stairs, and makes her way up to the apron. The Stand Out enters the ring and stands next to the rope. Placing his foot on the bottom rope, and pulling the middle rope up, he lets his sister enter the ring. Billy: Donovan Rayne is a stud, look at this guy. Carved out of stone.Chris Avery: Speaking of stone, Delta Rayne over there makes me...ah never mind. I don’t know if a nickname like “The Stand Out” has ever felt so appropriate, as Donovan Rayne has done just that.Letting the rope go, Donovan makes his way over to the turnbuckle. He stands up on the middle rope and again, throws the peace signs into the air. Delta then stands by her brother looking up at him with a smirk. Jumping down from the turnbuckle, Donovan sheds the leather jacket, and hands it over to his sister. With a smirk on her face, she exits the ring as Donovan awaits the action beginning. Billy: For a shot at the Television Championship! Here we go!!The bell rings as the two go face to face in the middle of the ring. Eye to eye at the same height, the weight difference is obvious. With a collar and elbow tie-out, Ranye looks to use his speed for advantage, ringing the arm of Rampage and slipping behind him. Rampage counters with a spin, showing he has speed you wouldn’t guess. The two counter each other several times before Rampage takes Rayne down with a headlock, which Rayne swiftly counters on the mat and the two reset to their feet. Billy: Two athletic specimens here, Chris. We’ve established how Rampage moves for a man his size, but Rayne is also quite the jack-of-all-trades.The two go at it again, this time more aggressively, which results in Rampage getting position and hammering down forearms to Rayne’s back. With his breath being driven from him, Rayne slips out of the grasp and fires back elbows in response, catching Rampage right in the lip with one or two of them that has the big man stumbling back. Rayne launches forward with a bicycle kick that rocks Rampage back into the ropes. Rampage naturally rebounds forward and Rayne takes Rampage to the canvas with a Spinning Heel Kick that connects! Billy: Donovan Rayne letting his FEET do some talking!Chris Avery: Very athletic and a great strategy to take the big man down. You’ve gotta hit him with hard impact early, get him on his toes!Rayne leaps forward and pins, just to send a message… 1… Rampage kicks out with authority but Rayne hops to his feet and delivers stomp and stomp. Rampage is reeling from the calculated attack but escapes it by rolling underneath the ropes to the outside. He shakes it off, walking in a small circle, and as he turns towards the ring, Donovan Rayne is on the ring apron, vaulting himself from the 2nd rope with an Asai Moonsault!! BUT RAMPAGE CATCHES HIM on his shoulder, turns around and drops him with a stiff Snake Eyes to the top of the barricade! Billy: Donovan Rayne goes high risk and Rampage with a little catch and release there!Chris Avery: Hope Rayne leaves a Google review later on how that barricade tasted…Delta Rayne is on the outside, checking on Donovan as Rampage just shoots a snarl her way before rolling back into the ring. The ref is yelling numbers for a count out, but Donovan is already back to his feet at ‘4’, hand to his jaw, absorbing encouragement from Delta before sliding right back into the ring. Donovan charges Rampage fearlessly, Rampage catching him and deadlift him into a suplex position. Rayne lands on his feet behind him, sweeping both feet to bring Rampage face-first into the mat. Rayne lifts the tree trunk legs, in a bit of a struggle, and gets him in wheelbarrow position. He looks around a bit before putting every back muscle behind a quick lift, sitting out with a Wheelbarrow Facebuster! He, again, shoots the half and goes for a quick pin! 1… 2...Rampage kicks out right on 2! Billy: Donovan knows he’s not about to get a 3 count quite yet on the Brick Wall, but he’s strategically reminding him that all it takes is 3 seconds.Chris Avery: That’s right. And we’ve seen plenty of times before, the right impact and the right surprise? You can win a match with anything!Rampage fights his way to his feet, as Rayne hits the far ropes...but Rampage lifts his boot up for a clean Big Boot, taking Rayne down. Rampage now hits the ropes himself and shows HOPS on a body splash, driving the air out of Rayne once again! Now HE pins! 1… 2…Rayne kicks out on 2 as well, adding a little extra muscle to recreate a Rampage-style kickout. Rayne gets to his feet, a little slower this time, as Rampage grabs him by the head and sticks it in between his knees. Billy: Uh oh! Rampage could be looking for that vicious Powerbomb of his!!Rampage hoists Rayne up as if he weighed 100 pounds, but Rayne uses that momentum to help himself over the top of Rampage head and goes for a sunset rollup pin! Rampage plants his feet and WON’T go down. Rayne kicks his feet a bit, trying to roll him up, but Rampage looks up and sits out flat, looking to squash Rayne’s head like a grape! Rayne rolls out at the last millisecond, however, and sprints to the ropes, rebounding and SMASHING the side of Rampage’s head with a front dropkick! Billy: Take advantage, Donovan, take advantage!Rayne smells blood in the water after the impact, as Rampage is dazed laying on his side. Rayne goes to the top rope gracefully, timing up well with Rampage’s slow ascent to his feet. The Brick Wall slowly turns around in search of Rayne and gets met with a FLYING CLOTHESLINE from the airbourne Stand Out! The crowd is hot for the match, not necessarily cheering or booing either side, rather just loving the action. Billy: This is what our Television Title is all about! It’s not JUST the title that’s defended each and every week, but it’s the scrapping for position to get that shot that makes it just as awesome!Rayne does not go for a cover this time, rather stalking Rampage as he may be looking for Heavy Rayne! Billy: Will he be able to get him up?!Rayne helps Rampage to his feet and gets behind him, SLOWLY BUT SURELY lifting him up into that Torture Rack position! He preps his body to swing the weight, but JUST as he’s about to swing and connect, Rampage gets a claw into Rayne’s forehead and rakes, breaking the momentum as both men fall to the mat awkwardly. They both stumble for position, Rampage LEAPING to his feet like a cruiserweight...and when Rayne turns around to continue to look to put him away, Rampage hoists him right up onto his shoulder and hits a quick but powerful Running Powerslam! Billy: Donovan Rayne was SO CLOSE to hitting Heavy Rayne!Chris Avery: I don’t think we’re the only ones impressed by that deadlift by Rayne, even Rampage has to give a slight nod to that one!Billy: If by ‘nod’, you mean a rake to the face, then yes.Chris Avery: ...good one Billy.Rampage doesn’t stop there, quickly grabbing Rayne roughly by the head and spinning him to his knees and putting him in Powerbomb position, lifting the Stand Out up and PLANTING him viciously to the canvas, the smack echoing through the arena as his back hits flat. Billy: WHAT a POWERBOMB by Rampage! That could be IT!Rampage goes for the cover, a smirk on his face… 1… 2… NO! Rayne kicks out. Rampage gets a bit frustrated at it, the snarl reappearing once more as he looks around, even making eye contact with Delta Rayne, supporting aloud from ringside. Rampage wags a finger at her as he lifts Donovan to his feet once more...Rampage slides a thumb across his neck in a taunt as he looks to hit the Death Drop Driver, but Rayne shoots a double leg that SURPRISES Rampage, taking him down. He wraps the legs up and manages to lock in THE STAND OUT double knee lock!! Billy: WOW! RAYNE HAS IT LOCKED IN! THE STAND OUT SUBMISSION IS LOCKED IN!Rampage grits his teeth and slams the mat with a fist, letting out grunts of pain as Rayne gives all he has into the submission! Chris Avery: And it’s locked dead center in the ring! What a spot for Donovan Rayne! Will the Brick Wall tap to save his knees?!Rampage is writhing, looking for a way to position his body for escape, but Rayne counters every movement with a change in pressure. Donovan yells “TAP” at Rampage, who is reaching down and trying to claw at the legs locked in his. The ref is in his face, as Rampage again looks around at the oh-so-distant ropes… Billy: WILL HE TAP?!Rampage lets out a primal roar from deep in the belly, as he contorts his body a bit and manages to get a hold of Rayne’s foot, grabbing it with every finger and wrenching it! He manages to move the leg a bit out of position as Rayne has sweat in his eyes now from the effort...and...RAMPAGE ESCAPES. Billy: ...that roar, what was that roar…Chris Avery: He KNEW how much trouble he was in, that’s why he’s a beast. Rampage gets out of the Stand Out, but the damage is DONE.Rayne lays flat on his back for a moment, having thought he had the match won! Rampage rolls around a bit, his knees in plenty of pain from the pressure. Both men slowly get up to their feet once more, Rampage a little slower than Rayne. Rayne shoves a flat palm into the face of Rampage, rocking him… Rampage shoots forward an open palm of his own to the chest of Rayne, the SMACK getting the crowd groaning… Rayne pumps his legs and hits another mule kick, right to the jaw of Rampage, almost taking him down. The Stand Out then takes quick steps backwards to hit the ropes and charges at Rampage once more, but Rampage EXPLODES with a HUGE lariat, turning Rayne inside out as both men hit the canvas once more! Billy: Both men are down again! WHAT a lariat by Rampage!Chris Avery: Rayne ain’t gonna know which way is up and which way is down.Billy: The ref assessing the damage to both men, whichever one can get to their feet first here will certainly look to put this match away…Rayne is knocked silly from that clothesline and Rampage is REELING from that submission.
Kings of Leon hits and the crowd pops as Torture comes out. He stands on the stage as the crowd is confused.
Torture: Whooooaaaaa wait a minute!! I got this crazyyyyy idea, no for real awesome idea. You guys stop wrestling against each other right now. The match is over.
Ding ding.
Torture: Whoever is Television Champion at the end of the night can have next week off too! Because at Evolution IV, I'm going to make the Television Champion defend against you two in a triple threat match!
Crowd pops.
Torture: Rampage, Rayne and whoever is Television Champion tonight! Gotta love it. Whoooo!
Torture throws the mic back and leaves.
Rampage and Rayne smirk and smile as they're still trying to get to their feet.
We fade to a commercial.

All Eyes On You
The grainy footage starts back up again and it's hard to tell but the voices sound familiar. It's Pasternak and Torture talking in a corner of a discreet room. Their voices are whispering. Alexander Pasternak: I don't get it, Dad, what is this deal you have with them?!
Torture: It's not a deal, like it's just not a deal.
Alexander Pasternak: Why are you not enforcing some sort of rule against it, or why do you seem like you're on their side?!
Torture: I'm not on anyones si-, Ok, look, it's complicated, son. It's.. it's just that. It's complicated.
Alexander Pasternak: Dad, explain it to me then. I'm dealing with Philidor every week and you come -The two stop talking as a few producers pass by. They let them leave the area before beginning again. Alexander Pasternak: You come in here tonight and you're more than ok with them it seems. Dad, I need this figured out. You still have Mud as Co-GM on Cruiserc-
Torture: Son, son, son. It's complicated. I just have to get everything signed for July. That pay per view is riding on.. ahem, riding on some of that cash and deal so lets just get to that point and then we're good. Relax.
Alexander Pasternak: I just don't get it.
Torture: I know. It's complicated.
The feed slowly fades to a commercial.

Johnny Dangerously vs. Claire Hawkins(c) Adilene Floyd: The next match is scheduled for one fall!Marks: ONE FALL! Adilene Floyd: And it is for the Action Wrestling Television Championship!Chris Avery: Will Claire Hawkins make it to Evolution with the title or will Johnny Dangerously shock the world?!he just strolls down the ring with the brief case like hes casing the joint and the crowd on the way to the ring Billy: WHAT THE--Chris Avery: I know, man. I know.As the world falls; wider grows disaster's maw Desperate the thralls call; thee three crows caw As those words faded to black, a shrill Banshee’s Wail rang out through the stadium and everything went as dark as it possibly could. A moment later, the beginnings of Orbit Culture’s Nensha began to play; a light layer of smoke appeared upon the stage as the lights began to frantically flash in sync with the music. As the music increased in pace, so did the flashing of the lights; a silhouette of a person appearing upon the stage, hunched forward. PICK UP THE BONES! Abruptly, the lights return to normal in time to see the person lean backward and release a deep guttural scream upwards to the heavens from parted lips painted black. Upon finishing the guttural growl, the person titled their head down and fixated their fiery crimson gaze upon the ring; the Action Wrestling crowd letting out a sizable pop. With skin as pale as porcelain and clearly dressed to compete within the squared circle, the person was none other than the Witch of Action Wrestling; Claire Hawkins! Adilene Floyd: Making her way to the ring, from Salem, Massachusetts, weighing in at 145 pounds, she is current… reigning… defending… Action Wrestling Television Champion... "The Witch"..... CLAIRE..... HAWKINS!!Once she reached the ringside area Claire paused for a moment to look at the cameraman that had dared to get close enough to get a good shot of her face. With a vicious snarl, Claire let out another one of those screams and forced the cameraman to quickly backpedal. Feeling pleased with herself, Claire made her way over to the steps and into the ring. Once she was in the ring she walked to the side of the ring where the hard camera was and stepped onto the second rope, leaned forward a little to keep her balance, and held her arms up while she held up in the "Devil Horns" gesture as pyro shot up from the ring posts. All the while bellowing out that same savage, guttural scream. Billy: NOW THAT'S HOW YA DO IT!The opening bell tolls. Hawkins wastes no time and she connects with a running dropkick. She gets up and lets out another scream. When she turns toward Dangerously, he surprises her with a dropkick of his own. He follows up with a rear chinlock until she pushes up to her feet. She reaches for his legs but he smartly pulls back. Instead she drops down with a jawbreaker. Billy: Big oof! Coulda lost a tooth right there!Dangerously stumbles back to the corner, holding onto his jaw. Hawkins gets to her feet and she charges to the corner, connecting with a running elbow. She lights him up with strikes before putting him in a seated position with a snapmare, then a dropkick to the back of the head. Before she can follow up, he rolls out of the ring. Billy: Dang smart move by Johnny Dangerously.Chris Avery: First time for everything.Dangerously uses the guardrail to pull himself up and he walks toward the ring, where he is met with a baseball slide from Hawkins. She rolls out of the ring and pulls him up, then rolls him into the ring. She climbs to the apron and starts climbing the ropes on the corner. Once she reaches the top, Dangerously hits the ropes and she sits on the top turnbuckle. He goes to the corner and climbs up, setting her up for his finisher somehow… but fights out of it and pushes him off. Billy: Another big oof!Hawkins stands back up and turns around, then soars into the air… landing a picture perfect moonsault on Dangerously. Chris Avery: There's the cover!ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Chris Avery: Johnny Dangerously remains in the hunt for the Television Championship!Billy: But he in there with a apex prediator champion!Hawkins pulls Dangerously up but he surprises her with an atomic drop. She stumbles back and forth into another atomic drop. He grabs her by the arm and whips her to the ropes, then hits another atomic drop. Chris Avery: What's up with all the atomic drops?Billy: He doesn't know many moves.He grabs her by the throat and goes for a chokeslam. He lifts her up… but she throws up a knee that catches him in the chest… then hits him with a sitout facebuster. He rolls onto his back and she gets up, then grabs his legs. As she goes to lock on a submission, he gets in a desperation small package rollup. ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Both competitors get up and Dangerously goes for another atomic drop but Hawkins catches him with a knee to the chin. He staggers back and she throws a-- Billy: TOUCH OF EEEEE--Chris Avery: NOPE! HE DUCKED!She walks into-- Billy: SELL! OFF!--outta nowhere. He covers her. ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Billy: Dang close right there!Dangerously is looking to finish her off. He pulls her up and shoves her into the corner. He pushes her up to the top rope and climbs up the ropes. Before he can set up for his finisher somehow, she headbutts him hard enough to push him back to the mat. He stumbles a bit and she dives off with a diving corkscrew stunner. Billy: SIIIILVER BUUUULLET!!!0Chris Avery: THERE'S THE COVER!ONE! TWO! THREE! The final bell tolls and "Nesha" by Orbit Culture plays. Billy: Hawkins retains! She's Television Champion to Evolution IV!Chris Avery: She'll have to defend against Rampage and Donovan Rayne at Evo IV!We fade out as Hawkins grabs her belt.

QDT Segment
The unsettling reverberation of a mic drop brings the fans to their feet, bursting into cheers. "Second Chance" by Liam Finn plays over the speakers as Jenna Bauer and QDT come out, hand-in-hand. A “QDT” chant commences. Billy: Damn it’s good to see QDT free and back in an AW ring!Chris Avery: I wasn’t sure he was ever going to wrestle again but he was unreal at Havoc.Billy: Jenna wasn’t bad either. Girl did us proud.They pace down the ramp, using their free hands to high five the fans on each side. When they reach the ring, they simultaneously jump to the apron before saluting each side of the arena with their arms raised. They kiss each other warmly in the centre of the ring before QDT gestures to a ringside official who then passes them a mic each. The “QDT” chant only gets louder as he’s about to speak. QDT: I can’t even begin to express… how incredible it is to see you people!Big pop. QDT: I bid you farewell back in August last year. The official reason given for my departure was persistent concussions. That wasn’t the furthest thing from the truth - I was banged up and needed rest… but it wasn’t THE truth.Chris Avery: What does he mean?Pacing backwards and forwards, QDT stares at the mat then vacantly up into the rafters, pondering his words carefully. QDT: There’s more than meets the eye. Let’s just say… and you know this already… there’s sinister forces at play in AW.Billy: Many come to mind… but there’s one big one I’m thinking of...Chris Avery: Hmm…QDT: I have to be vague for now. I know you have a lot of questions. Who’s Eddie? Did Harvey Marx have anything to do with my escape, as rumored? If I was forbidden from being here before, why am I allowed to stand here right now? All will be revealed. I need to enjoy the calm before that storm for a bit… because I’m in the eye of a different storm and it’s caused way too much destruction already. The worst is still to come… but Nightingale, Alice, LET’S END IT!The fans go wild. Jenna stands forward. Jenna Bauer: One day I might be able to forgive all that you, Alice, and your MS-13 bastards did to me - desecrating and denigrating me, trying to take my life, depriving me of the man I love for 98 days. In time, Quixote could also find some room in his heart for grace, after you took his freedom and cost him precious time to follow his dreams and to be with his daughter and I.The crowd jeers at Alice’s reprehensible actions. Jenna Bauer: But that daughter still cries out at night and begs and pleads with us throughout every single day… “WHERE’S MOMMY?”, “WHERE’S MY MOMMY?”. We will NEVER forgive you for taking Debonair’s mother from us. One of your scumbag gangbangers pulled the trigger but YOU were the one who really killed Tawny Layne. She had NOTHING to do with this!QDT tenses his fists, grits his teeth and a vein in his reddening forehead protrudes noticeably. Jenna Bauer: All this because Quixote rejected you a year ago?! You absolute total BITCH!QDT: But James, as the owner of such a feral mutt, your negligence doesn’t give you a free pass! This has gone past blood; this is about legacy. You’re comfortable getting agricultural with weapons and gore. You thrive on physical pain. But we’re gonna hit you where it really hurts. We will embarrass you. We will… DEFEAT you.Jenna Bauer: So, let’s get to it. Alice, Nightingale… EVOLUTION 4… we challenge you to a Mixed Tag Match! No bells, no whistles, no cages, no barbed wire. For once you’re gonna play by the rules. Because on the grandest stage, it’s not about the blood we spill… it’s about who’s BETTER. Deep down you know the answer... US!The AW Galaxy roars in approval. “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. That song cuts as the lights cut again. “In the House, In a Heartbeat'' by William Morris begins its slow-burn introduction but soon cuts out. The lights return on and James Nightingale appears behind his wife, cutting a frustrated figure. Billy: More trouble coming!MS-13 members, led out by Adrian, pass Nightingale and Alice and surround the ring, staring daggers at QDT and Jenna. Alice: How dare you talk shit, you maggots. You think this is happening under your terms?Confidence flowing through her veins, flanked by MS-13 and her husband, Alice steps up onto the ring apron before they both enter the ring together. She continues to verbally accost Jenna and QDT. Alice: We play the tune, you monkeys dance. You’re getting way above your statio…QDT: JAMES, put a muzzle on your hound!Alice fumes. Jenna Bauer: Nightingale, fetch is over - time for you to retrieve your balls from your bitch. Evolution 4… YES OR NO?Nightingale turns to Alice, staring at her with a look of disdain before abruptly turning away. Billy: SHITFIRE! James Nightingale is leaving his wife behind!The Angel of Death slides out of the ring, pushing past members of MS-13 as he marches back up the entrance ramp. Chris Avery: She isn’t exactly unsupported…Alice kicks a rope in frustration before turning her attention to her foes in the ring. Roundhouse kick from Jenna! Bauer picks her up from the apron and slings her inside. She throws her into QDT’s arms… Chris Avery: He’s going for The Qui-DT!Adrian reaches through the ropes and grabs Alice’s leg, pulling her from QDT’s grasp and out of the ring to safety. He and his fellow gang members jump up on the apron, swarming around QDT and Jenna with malevolent intent. Billy: Quixote and Jenna are surrounded and this time there’s no escape!Chris Avery: It’s gonna get ugly!Just as they are about to brutalise the lovers, Adrian turns to Nightingale, who watches on from the top of the ramp, seeking his leader’s approval for the attack. Billy: This doesn’t look good…But the approval doesn’t come; Nightingale shakes his head before finally turning and leaving the stage. They stand down. Alice screams at them, berating their inaction whilst she holds her throbbing jaw following Jenna’s attack. Adrian escorts Alice away as she is ushered out by members of MS-13 through the exit. Chris Avery: Some mercy shown by The Angel of Death tonight!Billy: Does this mean he refuses QDT and Jenna’s challenge?Chris Avery: No clue!“Second Chance” by Liam Finn plays again as QDT and Jenna kiss mid-ring to unanimous cheers. They leave, arms entwined, looking more loved up than ever before.

We come back to Monday Night Clash and Price is stretching against a blank wall near gorilla. Mason Jones: Hey, Price!!Just then Mason Jones comes up to Price. Some of the crowd cheers. Mason Jones: Hey, I think Downfall is going to accompany Dionysus to the ring tonight, or in the very least, he'll be around and I don't think you should go out there alone!Jayson Price: No.Mason Jones: Come on, Price! I saved you not once but twice in the Havoc rumble!The crowd cheers for this. Jayson Price: Sigh, I meant to ask, why did you do that?Mason Jones: Because you're one of the greatest of all time and you deserve respect and accolades! You're a WCF Hall of Famer, Price and I want you to succeed! I look out after you, its just what I do!Jayson Price: Sigh.Mason Jones: Look, I'm not going to interfere or anything but I don't want Downfall and Dion teaming up on you. They're a threat, and I don't like that.Jayson Price: Fine, but you're not in my entrance.Mason Jones: Deal!Price begins stretching as Mason Jones looks around excited and hype as hell. We cut to a commercial break.

Dionysus vs. Jayson Price
"Bazelgeuse" by Falkkone begins to play throughout the Arena. "The Legion", 20 Centurion guards march down the aisle, lining up 10 on one side and 10 on the other leading down to the ring and stand at attention. A quadriga of four Clydesdale horses pulling a chariot made of gold appears carrying "The Crimson Gladiator" Dionysus and makes its way down the aisle as if entering the Roman Colosseum ready to do battle and circles the ring and stops. As Dion enters the ring, the quadriga of four Clydesdale horses pulling a chariot made of gold makes its way back up the aisle and disappears followed by The Legion. "The Crimson Gladiator" Dionysus, standing in the middle of the ring, raising a scepter of Dionysus toward the crowd and starts banging the shaft against a custom made Vibranium/steel alloy Spartan shield calling out his opponent to engage him into a fight to the death. Dionysus's fans stand in unison to cheer their warrior as gold coins in his likeness rains down on him in the center of the ring. He looks out to his fans, who give Dionysus the thumbs up and gives his opponent the thumbs down, meaning "Death!" Dion raises both arms holding the scepter and custom made Spartan shield wide out over his head in praise to the crowd and let's out a Gladiator bloodcurdling scream. Billy: Notice Downfall made his way out here behind Dionysus, yeah!?Chris Avery: I noticed that! Downfall turned on Lost Breed at Havoc last sunday night and has now seemed to have joined forces with Dionysus?!Billy: They're respected each other since that rivalry that had so long ago and now it looks like their respect has turned to natural chemistry! Ya can't just buy that!Chris Avery: I know that very well!"The Cell" by Gojira hits the arena speakers as the lights dim down. When the drums kick in, pyro goes off from the big screen and stage. The crowd lets out a mixed reaction as a spotlight comes down onto the stage and Jayson Price walks out from the back, staring out at the crowd and then focusing on the ring. Adilene Floyd: From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania... weighing in at 260 pounds... JAYSON PRICE!Price starts walking down the ramp, ignoring the outstretched hands of the fans, until he reaches ringside where he rolls into the ring under the bottom rope and heads for his corner. Price stays leaning against the turnbuckles until the bell rings. Mason Jones is with him at ringside against the apron coaching him on! Billy: Notice Mason Jones came out here accompanying Price!Chris Avery: I'm aware! Both superstars have someone in their corners tonight!DING DING DING Price rushes across the ring but Dion delivers a bicycle kick to the chest planting Price on his back!! Chris Avery: OH SHIT A BIG MOVE THERE!Price stumbles to the corner, Mason is very worried about his condition! Dion comes rushing in with body shots but Price eats them and gets out of the corner with a rake to the eyes! Price comes out and Mason is still coaching and slapping the apron and Price grabs Dion and hits a sloppy looking DDT!! Billy: Planted!Price goes for a cover! One! Of course Dion kicks out I'm not even going to type a two right there. Dion is up and Price comes rushing in but Dion moves and Price slams chest first into the turnbuckles! Chris Avery: Swing and a miss there!Dion grabs Price from behind, moves him to the middle of the ring and hits THE FUCKING GRAPEVINE!! Price is out! Mason is on the apron yelling at Price to kick out! Dion pins! One! Two! Three! DING DING Billy: Dionysus wins this one!Chris Avery: What a win for Dionysus!Mason Jones reaches into the ring and grabs Price and helps roll him under the bottom ropes. He puts Prices arm over his shoulder and helps him up the ramp. Dionysus and Downfall are in the middle of the ring.. Billy: I'm not sure if we're done seeing these two!! We gotta take a quick commercial break though!Chris Avery: We'll be right back! Downfall and Dionysus are still in the ring!We fade to a commercial break.

Post Match Downfall & Dionysus Segment
Downfall looks over at Dionysus, who holds his arms out, gaining the support of the crowd, and Downfall nods his head. Dionysus paces over and calls for a mic. Dionysus: Hey. Hey hey hey hey...Yeah, you wanted my answer, right?The crowd is chanting YES! YES! YES! And Dion cups his hand to his ear, before looking back at Downfall. Dionysus: Look, I need to come clean about some of my feelings here. See, earlier, you spoke about the two of us having chemistry together. About our performances in Havoc exceeding everybody's expectations. You and I have been through some brutal battles with each other this year, and we've clashed hard against each other. But I think the reason for that is simple. It isn't just, iron sharpening iron... No, you know we represent? We are a sword...and a shield.Downfall has been handed his own mic, but for the moment he is just listening to Dionysus give his pitch. Dionysus: You are a blade that cuts through most anyone that stands in your path, but can also defend against those that are stronger. And me...I'm a shield that stems the tide and controls the flow, while also being able to strike when one wouldn't suspect. And lets be real; a sword and a shield are often times meant to clash. But together? They act as the perfect bulwark. The combined efforts of deadly efficiency and stalwart protection that, when in concert together, act as the perfect vanguard. Think about it, Daniel. The two of us together can and will stem the tide and control the flow that is Action Wrestling. A force unlike anything ever seen before.
Downfall looks down, and a rueful, slightly wicked grin crosses his face.Downfall: It's as I said, Dion... I haven't had the chemistry that you and I have had - as adversaries, or, yes, teaming up with anyone... hardly ever in my career. I think there's something there. You've shown me that you can fight harder than any man out there... You know what it's like to risk everything for your chance at your moment. You're the one that has always carried the flame on your own.Downfall gets closer to Dion, getting fired up. Downfall: I think its time we carried the flame...together.The crowd is roaring along with them now as Downfall extends a hand outward. Dionysus is grinning as if he didn't expect Downfall to be so down for this, but he's with it. The crowd is chanting "YES! YES! YES!!" Dionysus began to extend his hand outward. And time slowly passed by. As Dionysus's hand slowly moved closer to Downfall's. Dionysus's hand began to tremble. So did Downfall's. Both men used their other hand to grip their own outstretched arms. The crowd hushed in anticipation. ... ... Mere inches... ... ... If the crowd were not silently chanting, "ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh," someone could be able to hear a pin drop. ... ... Just as their hands clasped together, pyro went off in each of the corners. Downfall: Vanguard... I like that.Dionysus smiles, and he turns to the crowd, holding his arms up. The crowd gives the newly christened team of Downfall and Dion a huge positive reaction, all the while "Carry the Flame".
