A/N: Hello everyone! This is KiranTheRay and theDarkRyder! And we are very proud to present the first SSW cross-brand PPV: Fighting For Freedom! We hope you all enjoy!
The Night by Disturbed plays as the show opens to a huge crowd. The arena looks similar to Summerslam 2016. Down the ramp and on the stage is two things: On one side is 'SSW Forever' in red while that side is black. On the other side, is 'SSW United' in blue while that side is white. The stage has 'Fighting For Freedom' written across it in messy letters.
On the commentary table,we see both Jack Classic and Alan Riddle seated on it, instead of either brand's usual commentary team. "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, I am the "Living Legend", and the current General Manager of SSW United, Jack Classic!"
"And I am the grandson of Larry Zango, as well as current SSW Forever General Manager, Alan Riddle!" Riddle smiles. "And do we have an incredible card tonight! From Torture Chambers to Title Matches to Pure Hatred, tonight will be interesting!"
"Indeed! To start this off, Levi-the Great will take on the enigmatic Jinx!" Classic says
War plays as Levi-The Great walks out to a chorus of cheers. He high fives a few fans before sliding into the ring. He stands on the middle rope and holds his hands up. He jumps down and his music stops. He watches the stage, completely serious.
Painted Smile plays as The Fight Against The Corrupt walks out. Jinx is leading the group. They stop at the end of the ramp and Jinx removes his mask while everyone else keeps theirs on. Jinx removes his hoodie to reveal the black cracks. He slides into the ring and looks at Levi with a confident smile.
The bell rings and the two men stand still, watching and waiting for the other to strike. Levi tries to take out Jinx's legs, but Jinx knees him in the nose. Levi falls back and glares at Jinx while holding his nose. Jinx looks down at him and holds out his hand.
"Smile for me, Levi" Jinx lips. Levi kicks Jinx's hand away and tries locking up with Jinx. Jinx grabs Levi by the nose and forces him off. Jinx is holding Levi by the nose as Levi glares. "Please..?" Jinx whispers. Jinx trips Levi, causing him to fall. Due to Jinx's death grip on Levi's nose, Levi's nose is now bleeding.
The ref forces Jinx into the corner before checking on Levi. Jinx gets on the apron and watches as Levi sits in the corner next to his own. When the ref moves, Jinx does a Coast to Coast Cannonball!
Jinx forces Levi out of the corner before attempting a pin, but Levi kicks out at two. Jinx smiles and grabs Levi by his hair. He pulls him up to his knees before stomping down on Levi's back, ripping out some hair! Jinx is smiling, but he looks kind of bored.
Jinx sits down in front of Levi and holds out his hand again. Levi glares at Jinx. "This will all stop when you shake my hand" Jinx chuckles. Levi spits on Jinx. "Fine." Jinx mutters. Jinx quickly grabs both of Levi's arms and stands above his back. Jinx starts forcing them closer as Levi screams.
Jinx forces the wrists to touch and Levi actually begins crying in pain. The crowd boos Jinx so loud, even the ref is covering his ears. Jinx loosens the grip and drives his knee down on Levi's head. The ref rips Jinx off. Jinx starts laughing as the ref checks on Levi once again.
Levi slowly gets to his feet and looks at Jinx, barely able to keep his eyes open. Jinx offers his hand again, but Levi simply shakes his head slowly. Levi goes for a weak clothesline, but Jinx ducks. Levi is about to keep running, but Jinx immediately grabs his hair and forces him to the ground.
Jinx gets in the corner and waits for Levi to get up. When Levi gets to his feet, Jinx goes for the Through My Heart (Spear), but Levi hits an enzuigiri! The crowd goes crazy as Levi slowly climbs to his feet. Levi does the fired up taunt, but turns around to see Jinx smiling at him. Jinx suddenly head butts Levi. He drags Levi to the ropes and puts his upper body (facing up) under the top rope. Jinx then grabs Levi by his hair and chokes him against the top rope.
The ref pulls Jinx off and Jinx watches as Levi collapses, trying to catch his breath. Jinx holds his hand out. "Last chance Levi. Accept...or you will regret it" Jinx warns. Levi weakly stands up and looks at the hand. Surprisingly, Levi accepts the handshake.
Jinx smiles before hitting The Curse. He covers Levi, who is unable to kick out. The bell rings as the rest of the F.A.T.C. gets in the ring. Jinx pulls out the knife while sitting on Levi. He is about to cut the cheeks when Belle whispers something in his ear. Jinx gets a huge smile on his face before putting the knife away. He dips a finger in the blood from Levi's nose and draws the smile on Levi.
"Smile. For. Me." Jinx laughs as he stands up. The F.A.T.C. stare down on Levi as the crowd boos.
"An incredible opener, indeed, but why did Jinx spare Levi?" Jack asks
"When it comes to anyone from the Spirit World, you never know. Let's move on, to our first title match of the evening!" Riddle says.
Breaking Through plays, and CJ Hawk comes out. He forms a finger gun, points it at the camera and yells out, "BANG!", and a wall of Pyro explodes behind him.
"One of the best pure wrestlers in the WFA! Don't be surprised if that Killjoy belt goes to United, Alan!" Classic says.
"Oh I sure hope not" Riddle smiles, obviously trying not to be bothered by the idea of one of his titles leaving.
Meat on the Table plays. Tiburón Negro makes his entrance, sniffing the air, before giving a bloodthirsty grin and yelling "I SMELL MY PREY!" and lifting his title belt
"Now I must give credit where credit is due, Tiburón Negro is a beast inside that ring, and his animalistic style could come into play here!" Jack says.
"That is why Jason Lyric personally sought after him! Very few men are like him!" Riddle agrees.
The bell rings and the two men lock up. Negro gets the advantage after hitting a head butt. Negro hits a DDT. Negro gets Hawk up and tries throwing him at the ropes, but Hawk does a Sliced Bread #2. Hawk forces Negro to his hands and knees and starts driving his knee into Negro's head. Hawk then runs the ropes in order to punt Negro, but the champ catches Hawk and slams him to the mat with a fallaway slam! Negro hits a running Senton on CJ, before following up with an elbow drop. Negro then wait until CJ sits up, before nailing him with a sliding European Uppercut! Negro goes for the pin, 1,tw-CJ kicks out! Negro goes to the corner, hoping to end the match quickly with La Lanza Del Tiburón. CJ gets up, and Negro comes straight out of the gate with the Lanza-CJ LEAPFROGS OVER IT! HE COUNTERS INTO A SCHOOLBOY! 1, 2,-Negro kicks out!
CJ cannot believe it, and we see him wait until Negro sits up to nail him with a Penalty Kick! Believing he has just put down the shark man for good, CJ pins him once more, 1, 2- Negro kicks out! CJ shakes his head in disbelief, before he begins to climb the top turnbuckle, before diving onto Negro with the Cloud 10….NEGRO GETS THE KNEES UP! The reigning champ grabs CJ, and sends him crashing to the mat with a Rolling Release Suplex! As CJ attempts to get back to his feet, Tiburón Negro gets to the corner, and once CJ gets up, he nails him with La Lanza Del Tiburon! The champ covers, confident in his victory, 1, 2, thre-CJ KICKS OUT AT THE LAST SECOND!
Tiburón is pissed, and he locks in a sleeper hold, hoping to render CJ unconscious to retain the title. The referee raises CJ's arm once. No response. He raises the arm once more. Again, no response. The ref raises CJ Hawk's arm one final time-CJ raises it! The Hawk from the Second City begins to move, before throwing Negro over his shoulder with a Snapmare! The Chicagoan runs the ropes, before hitting him with a dropkick to the face! CJ lifts Negro up, attempting to lock in a Full Nelson, but Negro lifts CJ over his shoulders, and he runs to the turnbuckle to hit a Snake Eyes, but the challenger wriggles out of it, before hitting a shotgun dropkick to the back of Tiburon Negro, forcing him to collide with the turnbuckles chest first! Tiburón staggers back, as CJ locks in the Full Nelson, and he sends the Champion crashing to the mat face first with the Eye of the Hawk! CJ covers, 1, 2, 3!
The bell rings and CJ is presented with the belt, which he raises to tremendous applause.
"Incredible match!" Riddle exclaims. "And while I'm not too happy about losing the Killjoy title, I'm happy such a talented wrestler won it!"
"But up next, we have The Monarchy taking on The Can-Am Connection. This all started when Kingston and Torres attacked Phillips and Blackwell!" Classic informs. "Now Can-Am looks to get their revenge."
We Will Rock You plays as Dylan Torres and DJ Kingston walk out, accompanied by King Caesar. The crowd boos, but The Monarchy doesn't seem bothered by this. In fact, they seem to enjoy it!
X Gon' Give It To Ya plays and The Can-Am Connection walks out. The crowd is excited to see them. The three members get in the ring and have a staredown with The Monarchy.
"It's time to see if The Can-Am Connection is truly as good as they thought"
The bell rings as Caesar and Leah leave the ring. Brian Phillips and Dylan Torres start the match. They lock up and Torres gets the advantage. Torres picks Phillips up and drives him into Monarchy's corner. He tags in Kingston. Kingston runs over to the opposite corner and mocks Blackwell before running at Torres. Torres throws him over and Kingston hits a Koronco Buster.
Kingston goes for the pin while smiling at Blackwell, but Phillips kicks out at one. Kingston picks up Phillips and goes for a DDT, but he brags too much. Phillips goes for a Northern Lights Suplex, but Kingston somehow lands on his feet! He bridges up with Phillips and hits a DDT. Kingston goes for the pin in the push up position, one hand on stomach and the other on Phillips face.
Phillips kicks out at one yet again. Kingston chuckles before tagging in Torres. Torres climbs the turnbuckle while Kingston mocks Blackwell yet again. Kingston runs at the turnbuckle and hurricanrana's Torres off, Torres using the momentum to do a freaking 450° Splash!
"HOW?!" Riddle screams. Torres goes for the pin, but Phillips kicks out at 2.5. Torres picks Phillips up by the hair and laughs in his face. Torres picks Phillips up on his shoulder and does a Lawn Dart into the turnbuckle. Phillips is trying to catch his breath, but Torres hits a Cannonball.
Torres climbs the top rope and goes for the Bullfrog Splash, but Phillips rolls out of the way. Phillips picks Torres up and hits Sky High (Sitout Spinebuster). Phillips crawls towards Blackwell while Torres crawls towards Kingston.
Kingston gets tagged in and runs around the ring. He slides in and, right as Phillips dives, hits the Honolulu Destroyer (Canadian Destroyer). Kingston drags Phillips to Monarchy's corner and tags in Torres. They pick up Phillips and hit the Kingdom Killer.
Torres goes for the pin as Blackwell screams at Phillips to kick out. Phillips is unable to, however, and The Monarchy wins. The Monarchy celebrates while Blackwell checks on Phillips.
Leah gets in the ring as James helps Brian up. Brian suddenly low blows James! Phillips picks James up and hits Take It To The Grave (Dominator) on James. Leah, now on her knees and shocked, stares between her brother and her Boyfriend.
"I...don't know what to say…" Riddle is speechless.
"The break-up of a promising Tag Team is always hard to watch, and the Can-Am Connection is no exception." Jack says. "Up next, is a match that is sure to be as exciting as it will be frightening! The Freakshow, led by Edgar, will face off against Mama's Soldiers, led by Samuel! The Freakshow has the home advantage, as the match will take place in their Carnival!"
Outside The Carnival
A jeep pulls up next to the carnival. The front door opens and Samuel hangs out the door, smiling evilly. The back doors open and Charlie and Draco step out. Finally the trunk opens and Fear steps out. Charlie has his Hannibal Mask on, Draco has his creepy gas mask on, and Fear has his demented bone mask on. Samuel jumps out of the car while Fear, Charlie, and Draco pull out three large duffle bags. Samuel walks around the car to the driver's seat. The window rolls down to reveal a mostly faceless being. It only has bloody red eyes.
"Here is your hammer, Lord Samuel" It says in a monotone voice while handing Samuel his old hammer.
"Thank you, Butterfly Effect. Time for a massacre!" Samuel breaks out laughing.
"Enjoy yourself, Persephone and Fear" Butterfly calls out to Draco and Fear. "You as well, Brother Charles." The jeep drives away as Mama's Soldiers walk towards the carnival. They stop at the entrance.
"Boys...get ready" Samuel smiles. Charlie, Draco, and Fear drop the duffle bags and open them. Inside are huge fish hooks, chainsaws, chains, wire, nails, axes, and baseball bats. They all pull out baseball bats before zipping up the bags and picking them back up. They walk into the carnival and look around. "Man! This is mighty fine!" Samuel smirks while swinging his hammer around. "Freeeeeeakshoooooow!" Samuel sings while hitting his hammer against some of the booths. "Come out, come out, where EVER you are!" Samuel breaks out laughing.
"Hello gentlemen" They hear. Mama's Soldiers turns around to see Voodoo juggling three balls, behind the bottle knock down booth. "Wanna play a game?" Voodoo asks with a smile. Charlie looks at an amused Samuel, who nods.
Charlie walks over to the booth and takes the three balls. He throws them with one hand, not only knocking the bottles down, but shattering them!
"Congratulations! You win the big prize!" Voodoo exclaims before Riouga comes out from under the booth and drags Charlie back, making him disappear. Samuel raises his eyebrows in entertainment.
"Man this is truly delightful!" Samuel laughs. "Fear. Fetch." Samuel yawns. Fear walks over to the booth and removes the whole front of the booth. He finds no Riouga or Charlie, but Banshee, Voodoo, and Kevin!
Voodoo tries to attack Fear, but Fear throws him into the neighboring booth. Kevin and Banshee both start head butting Fear until he is down on one knee. Kevin and Banshee look over to see Samuel sitting crisscross with a smile. He lifts his head.
Banshee and Kevin turn around in shock just in time for Draco to take them out with a diving flip senton. Fear gets up and sees that Voodoo is missing. The three remaining members of Mama's Soldiers look for him, but notice that Banshee and Kevin are gone as well.
Samuel starts chuckling before picking his hammer back up, while Draco and Fear pick the baseball bats back up. They walk up to the ferris wheel, where Edgar is sipping a martini. He smiles at them.
"Glad to see you here, Sam-U-El!" Edgar exclaims.
"Nice that you invited us, Red" Samuel smiles. Suddenly, Riouga, Kevin, Banshee, and Voodoo attack. Kevin and Riouga take Fear, Banshee and Voodoo take Draco, and Edgar takes Samuel. While Mama's Soldiers try holding their own, they are soon overcomed. Fear and Draco are on the ground while Samuel is being choked by Edgar. Suddenly, two chainsaws are heard as Edgar's eyes get wide.
"I said...you...will...DIE!" Samuel laughs. The Freakshow looks over to see Charlie holding a chainsaw per hand! Charlie starts walking towards The Freakshow, who go off running. Charlie turns off the chainsaws and helps Samuel, Fear, and Draco up. He hands Fear wire, Draco an ax, and Samuel his hammer. Charlie turns on one of the chainsaw's and they walk around the corner, only to see something incredibly shocking: The Freakshow has flamethrowers!
"Time to die Samuel!" Edgar screams before the five men turn on the flamethrowers. Mama's Soldiers barely dodge. Samuel is incredibly angry.
"Boys...Mama is pissed." Samuel glares. They go around and are met with fire again. Samuel goes around while Charlie, Draco, and Fear distract The Freakshow.
Samuel takes his hammer and knocks out Riouga. Mama's Soldiers attack and disarm The Freakshow. The Freaks run yet again, but they get trapped in a tent. Samuel leads the Soldiers to the tent and smiles evilly. Samuel walks towards the inside as his eyes begin to glow.
"Time to DIE!" Samuel hisses. Suddenly, he looks over. "Let's go…"
"What's wrong, Lord Samuel?" Charlie asks.
"Something dark is here.." Samuel mutters and the Soldiers leave. Edgar glares before seeing a hand appear out of the corner of his eye. He looks over to see someone offering their hand.
Edgar follows it, shaking more and more the closer he gets to the face. He finally meets the eyes of Jinx. "Smile for me, Edgar." The video suddenly goes black.
Arena
"What do I even say, Mr. Classic?" Riddle looks at Classic in shock.
"I don't know." Jack responds, just as shocked.
Bangarang plays as Jeff Rizzo walks out. He is black wearing tights covered in 'Mr. 5 Star'. He's also wearing a black shirt that says 'The Joker Of Pro Wrestling meets Mr. 5 Star'. Jeff moves his body to the beat of the music until the bass drops, in which he goes crazy and jumps all over the place. Jeff Rizzo gets on the apron and smiles as the crowd boos. He suddenly dabs before getting in the ring.
"Now, Mr. Classic, as the draft will be finishing the show, I'm sure you still haven't decided on who you are taking. By any chance, are you considering taking Jeff? He is...a little bit annoying..if that isn't obvious" Riddle smiles.
"F**k no! Sorry, but he's yours to deal with." Jack says
Weight Of My Pride plays as Jason Sabre walks out to a huge pop. Sabre walks down with a big smile and looks at the crowd. He steps in the ring and gets face to face with Jeff Rizzo. The bell rings and Sabre reluctantly offers his hand.
Rizzo looks at it and is about to accept before he dabs. Jeff smiles at Sabre as the crowd boos. Sabre grabs Rizzo and they lock up. Sabre gets the advantage and brings him to the ground in a headlock. Rizzo reverses into a headscissors. Sabre kips out of it and Rizzo does a kip up. They stare at each other with animosity.
They lock up and Rizzo gets the advantage. He puts in a side headlock and gloats. Sabre pushes him into the ropes and bounces him off. When Rizzo comes back, Sabre ducks and Rizzo bounces off the opposite ropes. Sabre tries to leapfrog, but Rizzo catches him midair with a mushroom stomp!
"As much as he annoys me, Jeff Rizzo is truly one of the best!" Riddle exclaims. '
"No question about that, but Jason Sabre ain't no slouch either!" Jack responds.
Riddle picks Sabre up and throws out of the ring. Rizzo bounces off the opposite ropes and goes for the Rope Step Tope Con Hilo, but Sabre moves out of the way. Rizzo catches his other leg on the top rope at the last second and stands on the middle rope before dabbing.
Rizzo jumps back into the ring as Sabre slides in. Rizzo goes for a hurricanrana, but Sabre reverses into a powerbomb onto his knee. Sabre immediately locks in a boston crab as Rizzo screams. Rizzo reaches the ropes and Sabre lets go. Sabre walks towards the center of the ring and smiles at Rizzo, who is holding the bottom rope and glaring. Sabre dabs and Rizzo starts glaring daggers at him.
Rizzo gets up and goes for another mushroom stomp, but Sabre slides out and goes for a leg sweep. Rizzo jumps over and hits a rolling savate. Rizzo dabs before doing a springboard moonsault. Rizzo goes for the pin, but Sabre kicks out at one.
Rizzo throws Sabre out of the ring and stands on the middle rope (not turnbuckle). He waits for Sabre to get up before jumping onto the top rope while spinning around and hits a moonsault.
Rizzo gets on the apron and tries to catch his breath, but Sabre gets up. Sabre tries to swipe his legs, but Rizzo backflips and lands on his feet on the canvas. Rizzo goes for a superkick, but Sabre matrix dodges and hits a spinning knee strike to the back of Rizzo's head. Rizzo is about to fall when Sabre hits the Hallow Point onto the apron.
Sabre rolls Rizzo into the ring and climbs the turnbuckle. He stands up and goes for Final Destination, but Rizzo dodges. Rizzo grabs Sabre quickly and hits the Jeff Slam (Short arm Chokeslam). Rizzo goes for the pin, but Sabre kicks out at two.
Rizzo gets up and faces away from Sabre before doing a standing moonstomp. Rizzo gets on the apron and goes for a tope atomico, but Sabre puts up his knees. Before Rizzo can react, Sabre locks in the Bleeding Black! Rizzo freaks out as Sabre rolls him to the center of the ring.
Rizzo is about to tap when he finds the strength to lift Sabre. He lifts him into the Rizzo Bomb (Powerbomb). Rizzo does a bridging pin combo and Sabre barely kicks out. They glare at each other.
Sabre gets to his feet and tells Rizzo to suck it. Rizzo gets up and backs up into the opposite turnbuckle before laying on the top rope. Rizzo flips Sabre off before jumping down. Sabre goes for Final Resolution, but Rizzo fluently slides under the leg and hits a spinning enzuigiri. Sabre hits a Pelé Kick before he can fall. Both men collapse as the crowd goes crazy.
They both stand up in opposite turnbuckles and glare at each other, both breathing heavily. Sabre goes for a Final Resolution to the turnbuckle, but Rizzo slides out and bounces off the opposite turnbuckle. Rizzo goes for the Rizzo Kick, but Sabre ducks and Rizzo gets his leg caught. Sabre immediately hits a reverse capture suplex.

Rizzo climbs the turnbuckle while glaring and breathing heavily. Rizzo stands on the top buckle before taking a deep breath and hitting a corkscrew shooting star elbow! He goes for the pin, but Sabre won't die!
Rizzo picks Sabre up and starts smacking him over and over again. Sabre dodges the fifth one and hits a roundhouse kick to Rizzo's neck. Sabre hits the Final Resolution and Rizzo stumbles into the turnbuckle. Sabre runs at the other turnbuckle, but turns around into a Rizzo Kick so hard, that when Sabre falls, Rizzo is still on the middle and top rope.
Rizzo is smiling wildly as he looks at Sabre. He gets out of the ropes and covers Sabre. Sabre kicks out at the last possible second. Rizzo starts pummeling Sabre until the ref tries ripping him off, in which he knocks the ref out with a forearm smash.
Rizzo slicks his long hair back while panicking. He suddenly gets an idea. He rolls out of the ring and grabs a steel chair. He sets Sabre in the turnbuckle and puts the chair over his head. Rizzo laughs before hitting the Rizzo Kick. Rizzo pushes the chair out of the ring before covering Sabre. The ref weakly counts the three.
The crowd boos as Rizzo celebrates. "I wish I could say I'm surprised by Rizzo's actions.." Riddle mutters.
"I agree." Classic replies.
"But up next is one of the most hate filled rivalries ever! It's the PRIDE Champion, Adrian Lord, defending against Matt López in a hair vs hair match!" Riddle exclaims.
Burn in my light plays, and the crowd cheers for Matt Lopez as he makes his entrance.
"The Mexican Lone Wolf definitely has a bone to pick with the reigning champ!" Classic says
"They have had a rivalry for years! On top of that, earlier tonight, United captured the Killjoy Championship. Now, it's up to Matt López to defeat his biggest rival...LET'S GO LÓPEZ!" Riddle exclaims.
The intro to Realeza plays, before the theme for L.I.J, Stardust plays and immediately every member of the crowd begins to boo, as Adrian Lord takes to the stage, clad in a grey suit, a white fedora and Dia de Los Muertos facepaint.
"Alan, a solid argument could be made that Adrian Lord is the most hated man not just in SSW United, but SSW as a whole!" Classic says.
"More than Rizzo? But all jokes aside, Lord has made a lot of enemies in a short amount of time!" Riddle agrees.
As soon as Adrian gets in the ring, an angry Matt Lopez rushes him and begins to pummel him with forearms, forcing the bell to ring. Soon, Adrian begins to fight back and both men do not let up. Eventually, however, Adrian Lord gets the advantage by poking Matt in the eye, and goes for a quick roll up. 1,- Matt kicks out. Adrian then methodically stomps on his foe, delivering precise and brutal violence to Matt Lopez's prone body. Adrian lifts Matt up and he Irish Whips him into the corner, and Matt crashes back-first into the turnbuckles! Matt slumps down, and Adrian capitalizes with a corner dropkick!

Adrian waits for Matt to get up, before kicking him in the gut and hitting him with Unfinished Business! Adrian goes for the cover, 1, 2, t-Matt kicks out!
Adrian is pissed, and he locks in the Tijuana Border, wrenching Matt Lopez's legs as the Mexican Lone Wolf scream in pain. Adrian screams as he wrenches Matt's legs, "Tap out, pendejo!" Adrian yells. For two whole minutes, this continues until Matt finally manages to reach the rope! Adrian is forced to let go, and he gets back up, and waits for Matt to get up. Once he does, Adrian rushes Lopez, but Matt surprises him with a jumping high knee! This staggers Tijuana's Lord, and Matt goes to the apron in an attempt to hit From Mexico With Pain, but Adrian moves out of the way, and he ends up hitting the referee! Matt turns, and Adrian low blows him! Matt falls, and Adrian smirks, before rolling out of the ring. He looks under the ring and takes out a steel chair!
"Oh no! Looks like Adrian Lord might just retain his title via shenanigans!" Jack says, and Adrian gets in the ring, yelling at Matt to get up as he raises the chair, waiting as Matt gets up to clobber him! Matt gets up, Adrian rushes forward-MATT SUPERKICKS THE CHAIR INTO ADRIAN'S FACE! Adrian falls to the floor. Matt looks at the ref, who is starting to get up, and he throws the chair to the outside. He then grabs Adrian, lifts him up, grabs him by the wrist before knocking him out cold with a Stormmaker! Matt covers, and a fully recovered ref makes the count; 1, 2, 3!
"YES YES YES! Forever has captured the PRIDE Championship!" Riddle screams in joy as Matt raises his first title in the WFA proudly.
"The Killjoy and PRIDE titles have switched brands!" Classic informs us. "But now, it's time for Adrian to pay the price!" The referee grabs an electric razor, and he shaves the unconscious Adrian's hair off, all the while as the crowd cheers.
"Up next, we have the SSW Forever Tag Team Championship! The Freelancers will defend against The Darkest Souls!" Riddle smiles.
No Mercy plays and The Darkest Souls walk onto the stage, lights dark with lone spotlights on them. They look around emotionlessly without moving their heads. They start walking down to the ring as the crowd makes zero sounds.
"If you don't mind, Mr. Classic, what is your opinion on Cast and Jacob Carry?" Riddle asks.
"Definitely a top tag team for SSW Forever! They might just dethrone the Freelancers. But you must remember that they aren't just facing any tag team."
"Very true" Riddle notes.
The Darkest Souls stand on the apron on opposite sides. They both remove their masks and get in the ring. They do the Unity Taunt (They throw their right (Cast) and left (Carry) hands at each other, catching each others and lacing fingers to show their unity.). They crouch in their corner while waiting.
Devious plays and The Freelancers walk down to the ring slowly. They are holding their Forever Tag Team Championships tight, but they are also holding the UWA Tag Team Titles
"Out of all of SSW Forever, is it safe to assume that The Freelancers are close to the top for the Draft to United, Mr. Classic?" Riddle questions.
"Definitely! These two are among, if not THE best tag team, not just in SSW, but in the WFA as a whole!" Jack affirms
The Freelancers get in the ring and glare at The Darkest Souls while holding up the Tag Titles. The ref gets the titles before the bell rings. Edward and Cast start the match. Cast is crouching in his corner while Carry whispers stuff to him from the apron. Cast nods before standing up.
Edward and Cast lock up. Edward gets the advantage and instantly throws Cast into his corner. He tags in Luke and they both start kicking Cast as the ref tries getting Edward out. Carry tries to get in the ring, but the ref stops him. While the ref is distracted with Carry, The Freelancers both choke Cast with their feet while smiling at Carry.
Edward gets out of the ring and Luke tries to pin Cast. Cast kicks out at one and rolls Luke over. Cast starts forearming Luke. Cast grabs Luke by his ears and picks him up. Cast springboards off the ropes and hits a basement dropkick, taking out Luke's right leg.
Cast drags Luke to his corner and tags in Carry. Carry picks up Luke and does a flapjack while Cast does a codebreaker. Carry starts elbowing Luke before bringing him back to his corner. He tags in Cast and trips Luke. Carry holds up Luke's right leg while Cast bounces off the ropes and hits a running leg breaker.
"These two work so freaking well!" Riddle marvels.
Cast locks in a kneebar before tagging in Carry. Carry goes for the Knee Of Hades, but Edward takes him out with a huge knee. Cast releases the hold to help his 'brother'. Cast starts brawling with Edward until Edward pushes Cast into a Fallout from Luke. Edward is too busy laughing that he doesn't notice Carry climbing the top rope. Luke and Edward turn around and are hit with a 630° Senton from Carry!
Carry goes to pin Luke, but Luke kicks out at two. Carry and Cast start talking, but that gives Luke the opportunity to tag in Edward! Edward runs at Carry, who catches him in a powerbomb clutch. Cast tags in and climbs the turnbuckle.
"Could it be? One of the most dangerous tag team moves in the world?" Riddle asks.
Carry faces away from Cast as Cast stands on the top buckle. Cast jumps off and hits a Mushroom Stomp while Carry hits a sit-out powerbomb.
"NATIONAL TRAGEDY! THE NATIONAL TRAGEDY HAS JUST ENDED THE FREELANCERS TITLE REIGN!" Riddle marks out.
Cast goes for the pin. "One! Two! Thre-!" Luke breaks the pin with a steel chair. The bell rings as the crowd boos. Carry checks on his comrade while Luke helps Edward up.
Carry and Cast glare at The Freelancers, who are holding up the SSW Forever Tag Team Championships while facing away. Cast and Carry suddenly take out The Freelancers with the Talent Cuts (Cast; Running Chop Block) to Luke and No Mercy (Carry) to Edward. Cast locks in the Lost Soul (Lucky 13) on Luke while Carry locks in the Dying Wish (Bridging Fujiwara Armbar) on Edward. The Freelancers tap at the same time as The Darkest Souls scream in anger.
Cast and Carry let go before grabbing their jackets and masks. The lights darken as they put their hoods up and masks on. The segment ends with Cast and Carry holding up the Forever Tag Team Championships.
A/N: Part Two should be up soon!
