A/N: Hello guys and gals! Let's...uh...do this?
The show opens up with no commentators, no refs, no superstars, and two camera men. The crowd is completely silent.
Titantron
Kenny Omega is walking through the backstage area in, surprisingly, a regular suit and tie. He looks through every hallway, trying to find someone, but can't. He walks up to the gorilla position and sighs.
Ring
Devil's Sky plays as Kenny Omega somberly walks to the ring. He grabs a mic and steps into the ring.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, last week every man and woman backstage walked out on me. They stated that they were afraid or mistreated or, oh I don't know, LUCKY THAT I GAVE THEM MY TIME WHEN I SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON NEW JAPAN!" Kenny screams. "They are afraid of getting hurt in Pro freaking WRESTLING! So while you punks are out there having a picnic, I'm going to grab a broom, take off my blazer, and put on a six star match because a broom can work better then ALL OF YOU!" Kenny rants before taking off his blazer.
Power plays as Freddy Escobar walks out. He grabs a mic as the crowd cheers. "I have one question: Why didn't you ask me to stay? All week, I have been getting calls from my friends in The Monarchy, my fellow coworkers, everyone asking me to join them outside. I didn't even receive a one word text saying 'stay'. They have YOUR world champion out there, and they wanted the number 1 contender, and you didn't try to ask me to stay. Why?" Escobar asks. Kenny is silent. "I get it. Bullet Club and The Monarchy have never been close, but I LOVE THIS PLACE! It's the place that gave Levi-The freaking Great an inch and he showed that he can turn it into a mile! This is the company that had one of the shortest term, but greatest commentators ever with Larry Zango! I don't like you Kenny, but as long as you are in charge, I'll defend you." Escobar smiles. Kenny returns the favor and War plays to a massive pop. Levi-The Great walks out with a smile on his face. He gets a mic before getting in the ring.
"Hello everyone! Last week, a lot of people left. Some left by choice, while others were forced to leave. I find that really heartbreaking. We are the main show, but we are very unstable. Hell, after last week, a lot of them, including me, were offered contracts to United! I didn't sign it for one reason: It would be treachery. Yeah, I'll admit it is very dangerous here, but it provides a challenge. It gives us a chance to prove how good we are! No matter what, I'm loyal to Forever" Levi smiles.
All three men shake hands before (shockingly) The Outsider plays.
TriVolt walks out with his own mic. He steps on the apron and smirks. "You know, I think the guys and girls back there have been watching tapes of me walking away from WWE a little too much." He steps in the ring. "I know I'm probably the last person everyone was expecting out here, but I can't be outside while you losers are having all the fun. I mean unsafe working environment? What did you expect when you joined Strong Style Wrestling? A nice game of fisticuffs and a slap on the back? I can't be outside with them because I THRIVE ON DANGER AND RISK! I THRIVE ON DOING EVERYTHING TO ENTERTAIN THIS CROWD!" TriVolt walks up to Kenny Omega. "I don't like you *points at Kenny*, I have beaten you *points at Escobar*, and I haven't had a problem with you yet *points at Levi*, but I promise that when I do, I will say it. If I have a problem with someone, I tell them personally instead of starting a strike like a bunch of sissies. Screw it, I'm staying." TriVolt informs as the crowd cheers. "So...what now Omega?"
"Now...we will give these people what they have paid to see. Tonight, we will have Levi-The Great vs Freddy Escobar! And since I'm the only one close to wearing stripes, I'll be ref!" Omega exclaims to the love of the crowd. Omega looks at TriVolt. "And you, you like dropping pipebombs and being controversial, right? Well there is a whole bunch of headsets sitting right there, waiting for you to be offensive." Omega smiles as TriVolt evilly smiles at the commentary table.
"Can I even wear your blazer?" TriVolt giddily asks.
"You can even wear my Blazer!" Omega smirks.
"I'm in!" TriVolt exclaims before throwing on the blazer and jumping to the outside of the ring.
"Oh and TriVolt, could you do double duty and ring the bell?" Omega asks. TriVolt lips "Double pay right?". "Double pay!" Omega replies as TriVolt laughs. TriVolt rings the bell and goes to the announce table. Levi and Escobar shake hands as the crowd cheers.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, do not adjust your television! This is the best in the world TriVolt, and we truly are watching Levi-The Great vs Freddy Escobar!" TriVolt exclaims.
Escobar and Levi lock up and Levi gets the advantage. Levi backs Escobar into the turnbuckle before Kenny breaks the hold. The two back away from each other before locking up again. Escobar gets the advantage and goes for a suplex, but Levi flips over him and hits a snap german suplex.
Levi goes for the pin, but Escobar kicks out quickly. Escobar gets up and goes for a springboard side kick, but Levi dodges and goes for the Superkick. Escobar catches the leg and trips Levi before going for a standing moonsault. Levi puts his knees up, knocking the wind out of Escobar.
Levi goes for the Thunderbolt, but Escobar pushes him to the ground and goes for Prince's Elbow (People's Elbow). Levi dodges at the last second and hits a running shooting star. Levi goes for the pin, but Escobar kicks out at two.
Levi goes for Unwanted Death (Stunner), but Escobar reverses into and hits Execution quickly. Escobar goes for the pin, but Levi kicks out at two. Escobar tosses Levi to the outside and waits for him to get up.
Levi stands up and Escobar bounces off the opposite ropes and hits the Money Maker (Suicide dive transitioned into a tornado DDT).
"FIGHT FOREVER!" The crowd chants.
"Looks like the crowd is enjoying what they are seeing." TriVolt smiles.
Escobar sets up a ladder bridge and stands on it. "Do you want this?!" Escobar screams. The crowd cheers louder and Kenny nods. Escobar gets down and is instantly hit with the Superkick over the bridge.
Levi does the fired up taunt before Escobar suddenly kips up. Levi runs and Escobar gives chase. They run around the ring until they get to the ladder, where Levi slides under it swiftly. Escobar backs away as Levi takes a deep breath.
Escobar runs towards the bridge and Levi and does a Tope Con Hilo over it. The crowd goes crazy. Escobar picks Levi up weakly and sets him on the bridge before climbing the turnbuckle.
Escobar takes a deep breath before doing a super modified Prince's Elbow, sending both him and Levi through the ladder bridge.
"The action is getting intense as we head to commercial!" TriVolt exclaims.
Outside
Everyone, minus Draco and Lilith, are holding petitions to get Kenny Omega fired. Everyone suddenly hears a chuckle. They look up and see Edgar sitting in a tree, his red eyes watching them.
"Where'd you come from?" Sabre asks.
"Home" He chuckles. Suddenly, the two giants walk out from behind the tree. "Meet Erik Riouga *points at the 7'2 one* and Kevin *points at 6'9 one*." Edgar sits crisscross on the branch. The other two suddenly pop out from the leaves of the tree, both hanging upside down. "This is Banshee *points at the one with black eyes* and this is Voodoo *points at one with neon blue eyes*. Welcome to The Freakshow" Edgar smiles before the three of them jump down. The Freakshow walks into the forest. Edgar looks back "Run while you still can". They all disappear.
Ring
"And we are back! During the commercial break, we saw Levi regain control and it has been pretty back and forth since!" TriVolt informs.
Levi hits the Unwanted Death on Escobar before setting up for the Thunderbolt. Suddenly, Leave It All Behind plays as Jason Lyric walks out with a mic. Escobar gets up and everyone looks at Lyric.
"There is the owner of SSW, as well as the commissioner of Forever!" TriVolt exclaims.
Lyric gets in the ring. "Hey, sorry it took so long to get here. The Board of Directors and I had a meeting. Before I say anything else, I would like to thank you three for staying, but I need to talk to Kenny Omega in private." Lyric informs before Escobar, Levi, and TriVolt walk to the back. "Kenny. I can't have all my talent outside..."
"But they weren't all outsi-"
"You can't run a show with just three people, Kenny. I have also noticed how you have ran this show for the past few weeks. So, with great pleasure, I must quote a famous boss" Lyric informs as Kenny gets an angry look on his face. "Kenny Omega...YOU'RE FIIIIIIIRRRREEEEDDDD!" The crowd pops as Lyric smiles. "I have already found a more suitable replacement" Lyric points at the stage before Imaginary Monster plays, causing the crowd to go crazy.
Alan Riddle walks out with a big smile on his face. He is dressed casually with a Larry Zango shirt on. He steps into the ring and shakes Lyric's hand.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time for a change! I-"
"Hang on one second, Alan. I got one more thing to say. As of tonight, I am stepping down as Commissioner of Forever to be full time owner of SSW! That means that, yes you will see me way less, but you will also see me on United!" Lyric announces as the crowd boos. "Sorry guys, but I have to focus on my entire company, not just part of it!"
"Everyone will miss seeing you Jason. But as I was about to say, Kenny, you will still have a talent contract! I believe in opportunity! I have also decided to start a new trend: The last show before every Pay-Per-View will have no matches at all. The show will be filled with contract signings! That will start next week at the go home show for Hall Of Pain!" Riddle announces. Kenny goes to leave when Riddle stops him. "Hold up Kenny. I said you still have a talent contract, so up next to end the show, we will have you and Will Ralston vs Jason Sabre and...ME!" Riddle exclaims. "And Rizzo and Catapult? You two will only have to be commentators for this last match, and I will find new ones!" Riddle smiles before taking off his shirt and pants to reveal that he is already in wrestling gear.
Though Alan is small and slim, he has slight muscle. He is wearing black and red tights and boots. He reaches into his pants pocket and pulls out his gloves and elbow pads.
Jason Sabre, Will Ralston, Jeff Rizzo, and Paul Catapult walk out while Kenny Omega, glaring intensely at Riddle, removes his shirt and changes out his dress shoes with boots that Ralston brought.
The bell rings and Kenny goes for Hadouken, but is instantly caught and hit with the modified version of Larry Zango's finisher...The Cattail. While Zango's version was a regular Shiranui, Riddle's version starts out like an inverted suplex, but before the opponent can land on his feet, Riddle does a quick Shiranui!
Kenny is knocked unconscious by this as Riddle lays on the top rope next to Sabre and smiles. After a few seconds, Kenny looks at Riddle, who tells him to tag out. Kenny tags Ralston in while Riddle tags in Sabre.
Sabre and Ralston lock up when suddenly Rizzo slides into the ring. Sabre sees this and tosses Ralston at Rizzo. Rizzo catches Ralston and Sabre hits a double Final Resolution. The ref is distracted by Rizzo and doesn't notice Escobar running down the ramp. Escobar hits the Kingslayer on Ralston. Escobar slides out as Sabre covers Ralston.
Kenny is about to step into the ring when he stops. He looks directly at Ralston as the ref reaches the three. The bell rings as Sabre, Riddle, and Catapult celebrate. They leave as Kenny Omega walks to a seated Will Ralston.
"Don't walk out on me again." Kenny threatens before helping Ralston to the back.
After The Show
Will Ralston is mad. He is throwing his luggage in a truck. He notices Kenny Omega walking towards him.
"WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU HELP ME?!" He screams "YOU COST ME THE MATCH!"
"Hold on." Kenny cautiously says. "I did it for more than to punish you."
"What do you mean?" Ralston growls.
"Escobar now thinks Bullet Club is at each other's throats. That gives us a chance to capitalize." Kenny smiles.
"Good point!" Ralston exclaims before Too Sweeting Kenny.
A/N: HOW WILL NEXT WEEK GO WITH ALL THOSE CONTRACT SIGNINGS?! Hope you all enjoyed! See you all next time!
