I'm So Sorry-Imagine Dragons
"Bienvenidos-welcome to SSW United! This is the penultimate show before SSW Kingdom, I'm Armando Torres-Lopez, and with me is the Voice of the Voiceless, CM Punk!"
"Glad to be here, Mando." Punk says. "And let me just say-"
Princes of the Universe-Queen
Punk got cut off as golden pyro explodes from the stage and Freddy Escobar, King Caesar, DJ Kingston, Dylan Torres and Natalia Rodriguez come out, and they walk down the ramp. All of them are scowling.
"Seems Monarchy isn't happy after Anarchy decided to interrupt the Prince's Court!" Armando says.
"Indeed Mando. Anarchy burned down the Prince's Court, in what I thought was the moment of the night!" Punk says.
Monarchy gets inside the ring and all of them except for King Caesar grab a pair of mics.
Freddy tries to speak, but the crowd begins to drown him out with a massive number of boos. He simply laughs. "Die, Escobar, Die!" They chant, as Escobar orders DJ to bring him a steel chair. Once the Astonishing One has brought it to him, Escobar unfolds the chair and sits down.
"You people really do hate me, don't you?" Freddy responds, as the crowd responds by booing the crap out of him. "That's okay, it's not like a give a shit about any of you. You see, my entire career, all I have received from each and every one of you is pure, unadulterated hatred. You booed me when I won my first world title, you booed me when I put on classic matches with Furno Moxley, with Zech Grey, with American Thunder,-the list goes on and on. No one has done more for this company, hell for the entire WFA, than I have!"
"And what do I receive for shedding my blood and my tears in this ring for all of you people? What do I receive for being the one to put the WFA on the map! 'Die, Escobar, Die'." He says, repeating the words that the crowd chant. "You people are the biggest hypocrites on the planet. You boo me and the Monarchy, but you cheered degenerates like say…Furno Moxley." Freddy says, eliciting even more boos from the public. "Hell, when I feuded with him, he was the hottest performer in the entire WFA! Now? Now he's revealed his true colors as a psychotic bastard who should've never been let out of the madhouse! Hmph. Good riddance." Freddy continues. "What about Ash Russo? Sure, he was the first ever Universal Champion, but last week, he burnt down an entire set. He is nothing but a petty anarchist, and yet you all cheer him like the second coming of Jesus fucking Christ!" He rants, as the crowd keeps on booing him.
"Boo me if you like, but it's true! Hell, let me ask all of you this, and answer this truthfully: do you actually think that you would love guys like Zach Grey, a common street thug, or Furno Moxley, a complete psychopath? What about Ash Russo, a pyromaniacal anarchist, or Detrick Cyrus, who, by the way is a GUERRERO JUST LIKE ME! Lying, cheating, and stealing; it's what we were taught, remember, hermano?"
"Anyways, would you people cheer for any of those men if you didn't hate me so much?" The crowd, for once, doesn't respond. "Exactly. And yet, all of you ungrateful smarks post idiotic comments on the internet, all of you insult me and my friends, and all of you would rather see me dead. Well, if that's the case, then I'll keep on living. I'll keep on winning, and the Monarchy will keep dominating the entire WFA simply to spite ALL OF YOU!"
"And of you don't like it, well tough shit. Because I stopped caring about what you people think a long time ago." Freddy and the rest of the Monarchy are about to leave, but suddenly…
Until the World Goes Cold-Trivium.
The crowd begins to cheer as Ash Russo comes out of the crowd, flanked by the the rest of Anarchy. Instead of getting in the ring, he stays in the crowd, and he has a mic on his hands.
"Escobar, do you know what my problem with you actually is?" Ash asks. "You see, as an anarchist, I absolutely abhor corruption, tyranny, and the like. And in the entire WFA, no one embodies those traits like you and the Monarchy. You and your cronies run roughshod in the WFA, thinking that you own the place. In short, you are the epitome, the personification of everything I hate and despise!" Ash says.
"Now, don't get me wrong. You are a 6-time world champion, you don't win that many titles through luck alone. But here's the thing: If the Coven hadn't interfered, do you actually think you would have won? No, because if they hadn't, Detrick Cyrus would be standing across the ring from me as the SSW Universal Champion, not you." Ash taunts.
"DE-TRICK CYRUS!" The crowd chants, as Freddy is visibly becoming angry.
"This has nothing to do with Detrick, Ash. This is between you and me!" Freddy yells at him.
"You're damn right it's between you and me!" Ash yells back. "And at SSW Kingdom, I will burn down your kingdom, brick by fiery brick! I will end your empire, and I will destroy the Monarchy!" Both men stare each other down, and their respective factions eye each other warily.
Paint It Black-Hidden Citizens
The crowd suddenly quiets down in awe, as Ben Jones, Ryan Lewis, Shane Eastwood, and Sara Lewis all walk down the ramp. Sara has a mic in her hand, and Ben and Ryan have the SSW United Tag Team Championships in their shoulders.
"One of the most dominant factions in the WFA! Whether you call them the Shadow Coven, the Sanguine Coven, or the Dark Family, they have proven themselves to be the most frightening and monstrous stable SSW United has to offer!" Punk says.
"They allied with the Monarchy at SSW Kingdom to form a powerful alliance. They have the SSW Universal Championship and the SSW United Tag Team Titles in their possession, and they will do anything to keep those titles in their grip!" Armando says.
"Such valiant words, Ash!" Sara Lewis says. "It's just sad that they are wasted on us. Because you see, you are not just facing the Monarchy; you are also facing the mighty Shadow Coven! And it is because of that that the flames of Anarchy will be quenched, and the Monarchy and the Coven will stand victorious over the ashes."
Eye of the Tiger-Survivor
Jack Classic comes out on the stage, a stoic look on his face. An astute viewer might notice that Jack Classic's eyes are some shade of red. Sara smirks when he comes out.
"Ash, Freddy, it seems like both of you are itching for a fight, and that is a request that I am willing to oblige. Because tonight, Ash Russo, Jasper Cage, and Roman McIntyre will take on the SSW Universal Champion Freddy Escobar, and the SSW United Tag Team Champions, Ben Jones and Ryan Lewis!" The crowd cheers once Jack makes this announcement. Anarchy and the Coven/Monarchy stare each other down.
"And an incredible main event made for tonight! The Prince, Freddy Escobar, Ben Jones and Ryan Lewis will be taking on Anarchy!" Armando says.
"Indeed, that should be a great match, but let's move on, as the new SSW Goddess Champion, Logan Storm will take on Ashlynn Riker up next!" Punk says.
XoXoXoX
We see a dark room, a lone spotlight in the middle of it. A man suddenly comes into view. The man had a mesomorph body type with a six pack. He was olive skinned and square jawed with black coloured eyes. He had black hair styled in a slicked back wet look medium length undercut with short back and sides, along with Gaelic tattoos of various mythical Irish entities on both his arms.
"Once upon a time, there was a man- a man cursed to walk the earth with the souls of a thousand sinners inside of him." The man said, with a clear Irish accent. "These souls merged to form a dark, vindictive demon known as Slaugh." For a split second, the man changes- he suddenly has a Glasgow smile, and corpse paint decorating his face and upper torso. He has a mad grin on his face and he lets out a bloodcurdling scream-before suddenly changing back.
"The man goes by many names-The Irish Legion, The Man of A Thousand Screams, The Celtic Destroyer. The Belfast Demon." The man then looks up. "But you can just call me Flynn Horde." He says, before we fade to black.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Theme-Nerf Herder
Ashlynn Riker comes out to a positive reaction. She comes down the ramp, running and high fiving fans, then stops at the bottom of the ramp to have pyro go off on the stage and the ring posts before entering the ring.
"The Celtic Princess has returned to the temple!" Armando proclaims. "She's a physical competitor who can certainly go toe to toe with the best of them!"
"But you have to remember, tonight she is up against the most dangerous woman in the WFA, Logan Storm!" Punk reminds him.
Next Big Thing (Remix)-Jim Johnston
The crowd offers a massive outpouring of boos as Logan Storm comes out, flanked by Raelynn Lopez and Mercedes Madrid. She has a cocky smirk on her face as she makes her way to the ring.
"Here we have the woman who absolutely decimated Jessie Faraday at SSW Extinction!" Armando says.
"Yes, the whole match lasted less than a minute, as Logan Storm targeted Jessie's injured arm and leveled her with a Storm Bomb to end both the match and Jessie's championship reign!" Punk says. "However, she wasn't done yet, as Logan took it upon herself to break Jessie Faraday's arm with the Storm Hold! After that, Mercedes and Raelynn turned on Jessie, and they joined up with Logan Storm, making Logan the new leader of Reign!"
Ding, Ding!
As soon as the bell rang, Ashlynn tried to rush Jessie, but the champion greets her with a Lightning Strike (Spinning Heel Kick)! The Celtic Princess falls to the floor as Logan stomps her several times before picking her up, Irish Whipping her into the corner and nailing her with a Corner Clothesline! Logan grabs Ashlynn by her hair and picks her up, looking to finish this, but Ashlynn hits her with several punches to the gut, forcing Logan to release her!
"Ashlynn Riker showing signs of life!" Punk remarks, as Ashlynn runs the ropes for a Brogue Kick-but Logan pops her up into the air, catches her, and slams her back down to the ground with a Storm Bomb! Logan covers, 1, 2, 3!
"And just like that-it's over!" Armando remarks.
"Logan Storm absolutely decimated Ashlynn Riker!" Punk said.
Now, Logan lifts Ashlynn into a Military Press, and she throws her to the outside, sending her crashing into the floor! Logan then grabs a mic.
"Did you idiots all see that?!" Logan yells, as the crowd boos her. "I just proved what everyone already knew: that I am the best female wrestler in the entire WFA!"
"And a message to Abby Torres: run. Run as fast as you can, because if you step in that ring with me, you won't walk out under your own power." Logan says in a disturbingly calm voice, with a sadistic smile on her face. "I'm going to enjoy breaking you." Logan drops the mic and leaves, the rest of Reign in tow.
"Abby Torres certainly has her work cut out for her." Armando says.
"That is a massive understatement." Punk says. "But anyway, we will move on, as the WOTH Open Challenge is up next!"

We see Detrick Cyrus walking into a bar in Mexico City. He talks to the pretty bartender, and orders a shot of Tequila.
"Remember this place Freddy? This is where Konan took us when we were 17 for our first drink as our first victory as a tag team, hell this was the place where you lost your virginity, remember?' Detrick smirks before getting serious. "We came here every night after our matches, whether we lost or we won, this was where me and you made some of the important decisions in our lives...funny enough, I came right back to this bar after you betrayed me, betrayed our family." The bartender returns, handing Detrick his shot of tequila. Detrick chugs it down, wipes his mouth and continues to speak. "Blood runs thicker than water Escobar, and I remember when you left me lying in a pool of my own blood" Detrick frowns. "I am going on the win the Classic Cup, Freddy, and a part of me hopes YOU win, because I can't think of anything more I'd like to do than kick you off your throne as Prince and reign as the new King of SSW United." Detrick puts a few pesos in the counter before getting up and walking out of the bar.
XoXoXoX
We see Cynthia talking to a man with bleach-blond hair, blue eyes, a muscular build and a wide grin on his face. He was wearing a black and gold singlet. Beside him, Katie sits in a chair, looking dejected.
"Are you sure about this, Brandon?" Cynthia asks. "Don't you think that having my ex-husband and my current boyfriend working together might be a little uncomfortable?"
"Nonsense!" Brandon responds. "Look, sweetie, I understand the issues you have with your husband, but from what I've heard, he's a great guy! Plus, it would be great for Katie to see her father more!" Brandon says, hugging Katie, who seems uncomfortable in his grasp.
"Ahem." Brandon and Cynthia turn around to see Anthony Dre standing behind them. "What's going on? Why did you call me for, Cynthia?"
"Someone wanted to meet you." Cynthia says, in a curt tone. "Anthony, this is Brandon Duke-my boyfriend."
Brandon sticks his hand out, and Anthony reluctantly shakes it. "Listen, man. I wanted to make a proposition: How about you and me begin teaming up?" Brandon says.
Anthony raises and eyebrow. "Really? Don't you think that could be a little uncomfortable?"
"Are you kidding? You are one of the best in the entire WFA! You and me together as a team, we would be unstoppable!" Brandon exclaims.
"No offense but I've never seen you wrestle." Anthony tells him.
"Well, today's your lucky day! Because up next, I'm going to defeat none other than CJ Hawk! Just sit down and watch the show!" Brandon cockily states before leaving.
XoXoXoX
Breaking Through-The Wreckage
The now iconic theme plays as the crowd gets on it's feet. The Second City Hawk makes his appearance and does his trademark "BANG!" Taunt, and he raises the SSW Killjoy Championship high before getting in the ring.
"And once again, the man many call the WFA's MVP, CJ Hawk is here!" Armando says.
"He may have lost the ICW International Championship to a man that will make his SSW United debut tonight, Chris Blade, but the Second City Hawk is still the WFA's premier fighting champion!" CM Punk says. "He is still the SSW Killjoy Champion and the TDW Intercontinental Champion, and as such, he will still hold the WOTH Open Challenge."
CJ Hawk waits in the ring for someone to answer his open challenge.
Elite-CFO$
Brandon Duke walks out to a polite reception. He confidently walks to the ring and gest on the apron-before slingshotting himself over the ropes and performing a three-point landing as red pyro explodes from the four turnbuckles.
"And making his SSW Debut is a former NCAA champion! He calls himself 'The King of the Suplex', he calls himself 'Mr. Wrestling', but he is better known as Brandon Duke!" Armando says.
"An accomplished amateur wrestler, but we'll have to see if his credentials can translate to the squared circle." CM Punk says.
Ding, Ding!
The bell rings and CJ Hawk and Brandon Duke circle each other. They lock up, and CJ gets the advantage by transitioning into a waistlock. CJ takes Brandon down to the mat, but that turns out to be a bad idea, as Brandon quickly recovers and quickly transitions into a Cross Armbreaker. Brandon wrenches the hold, and torques CJ's arm, but the champion quickly grabs the ropes. Brandon holds on to CJ's arm and keeps the hold locked on and the ref begins the 5-count: 1, 2, 3-Brandon lets go. The amateur wrestler waits for CJ to get back up, before taking back down with a Double Leg Takedown, raining punches onto CJ Hawk, but the champion quickly turns that around as he rolls over, and begins repaying Brandon by hitting him with several punches to Brandon's face. CJ gets up and waits for Brandon to do the same, before running the ropes to hit a Springboard European Uppercut! CJ goes for the cover, 1, 2,-Brandon kicks out!
CJ waits for Brandon to get back up to his knees. Once he does, the Second City Hawk goes for a Running Knee Strike, but 'Mr Wrestling' surprises him by catching him and slamming him into the mat with a T-Bone Suplex! Brandon kips-up and waits for CJ to get back up before grabbing him by the waist and slamming him into the mat with a German Suplex! But Brandon's not done, as he rolls through and deadlifts CJ into another German Suplex, and he repeats the process once more! Brandon bridges into a pin, 1, 2-NO GOOD! CJ kicks out! Brandon is starting to get angry, and he lifts CJ up and drops him with the Duke Bomb (Gutwrench Sitout Powerbomb)! Brandon goes for the cover, 1, 2, th-CJ kicks out once again! Now Brandon is livid, and he lifts CJ up into an Electric Chair position. But before Brandon can go for the Tech Fall (Electric Chair dropped into a German Suplex)-but CJ counters into a Poisoned Frankensteiner! CJ waits for Brandon to get up to a seated position before nailing him with a Penalty Kick! CJ Hawk then lifts Brandon back up, before dropping him with an Electric Chair Driver! CJ Hawk then locks in the Twisted Claw! After about 30 seconds, Duke begins to tap!
Ding, Ding!
"And once again, the Second City Hawk has triumphed!" Punk says.
"Indeed, now he can look forward to facing off against Justin Danger!" Armando says. "But let's move on, as up next, we will see the third match of the Classic Cup, as Cody Fireheart takes on the debuting Chris Blade!"
XoXoXoX
Jeff Rizzo is seen sitting inside a locker room at a SSW event, thinking to himself angrily. Before a hand (wearing fingerless gloves) grabs him on the shoulder. In shock, he turns, and his face lights up in shock. He slowly gets up as the camera pans over to see EVAN NEAL of TDW facing Jeff.
"Y'know, I hate to see the rate of unemployment go up. It's one of the various things I despise of this planet. SSW might not be the place for you, but I know a great place for you..." Evan says.
Jeff looks at him hopefully "Wait, are you saying that... I got a job?"
"In TDW, welcome to the family!" Evan answers and Jeff grins as he shakes Evan's hand.
"I'll give you a contract latter. But for now, I have ANOTHER offer for you..." Evan says, a devious smirk on his face.

My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark-Fall Out Boy
Fire rises from the stage, as Cody Fireheart appears. He runs down the ramp, slapping hands with the fans.
"Cody Fireheart has had a tough run in SSW United so far. He lost the Strong Style Cup to Freddy Escobar and he lost the rematch to the Prince, but now Cody looks to rebound against his debuting opponent!" Armando says.
FEEL THE BLADE!
Never Gonna Stop-Rob Zombie
The crowd erupts into a chorus of cheers as Chris Blade comes out, a wide smirk on his face. He runs into the ring and climbs on top of a turnbuckle, as he raises both crossed arms.
"Finally, one of the top performers in the WFA has made his appearance! Chris Blade is here!" Armando calls.
"The Hardcore Phenomenon certainly has a great resume. He is a former UCW World Champion, a former UW Champion and the current ICW International Champion!" Punk informs us. "Could he be the one to win the Classic Cup and main event Ring of Valhalla? You'll have to wait and see."
Ding, Ding!
Cody Fireheart quickly begins to rush Chris Blade into the corner. Cody climbs to the second turnbuckle and begins showering punches onto Chris Blade-only for the Hardcore Phenomenon to pick Cody up and slam him into the mat with a Spinebuster! Cody finds himself being lifted up into a Military Press as Chris Blade drops him into a Double Knee Gutbuster! Chris Blade waits for Cody to get up, before nailing him in the face with a Superkick! Chris goes for the pin. 1, tw-Cody gets up. Now Chris Blade lifts Cody Fireheart and Irish Whips him into the ropes. When Cody rebounds off the ropes, Chris Blade goes for a Running Leg Lariat-but Cody proceeds to leap up high in the air and he catches the current ICW International Champion with a dropkick! Chris Blade falls to the floor, as Cody hits a Standing Moonsault, followed by a Standing Shooting Star Press, and finally, Cody ends the combo with a Lionsault! Cody goes for the pin, but Chris rolls out of the ring to avoid getting pinned. However, as always that turns out to be a really bad idea as Cody begins to run the ropes and he nails Blade with an Tope con Hilo! The crowd is getting behind Cody Fireheart as the Rising Phoenix rolls Chris Blade into the ring, before crashing into him, with a Springboard Senton Bomb! Cody goes for the cover, 1, 2,-Chris Blade kicks out!
Now Cody tries to lift Chris Blade, but the Hardcore Phenomenon begins fighting back with a few punches to Cody's gut. Cody releases Blade, and Chris nails him with a Superkick for his troubles! Now Chris lifts Cody back up, before dropping him once more with an inverted DDT. Chris covers, 1, 2-No good! Cody kicks out and Chris begin to drag Cody to the top turnbuckle. He begins to set up Cody on the top turnbuckle before climbing up himself. Chris Blade lifts him up in the air and drops him with a Superplex! Chris Blade covers, 1, 2, thr-CODY KICKS OUT! Now Chris begins to lift Cody up into an Electric Chair position-but Cody quickly counters into a Poisoned Frankensteiner! Cody beings to rally, and he waits for Chris to get up. Once he does, Cody nails him with a Jumping Spinning Roundhouse Kick! Chris falls to the floor, but Cody picks him back up to his feet before setting him up in the top turnbuckle, facing the audience. Cody climbs up in front of him, and grabs him in a ¾ facelock.
"What's Cody going for here?" Punk asks, and his question is answered once Cody leaps off-taking both Chris and himself down to the mat with a SUPER SALIDA DEL SOL!
"DIOS MIO!" Armando yells, as Cody slowly crawls to Chris' body before going for the pin. 1, 2, thr-CHRIS KICKS OUT! Cody is shocked and he drags Chris into a corner, Before slowly climbing to the top. He poses for the crowd before leaping off and landing the Phoenix Splash!...or at least, he would have, had Chris Blade not moved out of the way! Chris Blade gets up and waits for Cody to do the same before lifting him up in the Electric Chair position-and dropping him with the Blade of Hell (Electric Chair Half-Nelson Driver)! Chris Blade covers, 1, 2, 3!
The bell rings to signal Chris Blade's victory, and Chris Blade has his arm raised by the referee!
"A brilliant match by both Chris Blade and Cody Fireheart!" Armando states.
"Indeed. Chris Blade moves on and he will take on the winner of Paul Catapult vs Frank "Dynamite" Rolston, a match that will occur next week!" Punk says. "But let's move on, as Jack Classic has an important announcement to make, coming up next."

Eye of the Tiger-Survivor
Jack Classic comes out to a positive reception from the crowd. He doesn't play to the crowd, instead getting inside the ring and grabbing the microphone.
"Hey, Mando, is it just me or does our boss have red contacts on?" Punk says, squinting.
"That's ridiculous." Armando flatly states.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to call the Fortress out here." Armando says.
My Demons-Starset.
Out comes a confused Fortress as Jason, PK, Static and Sebastian walk down the ramp and get inside the ring.
"Now the issue here is that while the four of you want to challenge the Shadow Coven for the SSW Tag Team Titles, you have no grounds on which to challenge them. So therefore, I have decided that at SSW Kingdom, two of you will take on this team." Jack points out to the stage.
Mama (Instrumental)-My Chemical Romance
The crowd is confused, but they suddenly gasp in shock as CHARLIE and DRACO appear!
"OH MY GOD!" Punk tells. "ITS'S CHARLIE AND DRACO!"
"Last we saw these two men, they were with Samuel! Now that Samuel has moved to SSW Forever, these two men have been left alone, but now they have resurfaced!" Armando says.
"At SSW Kingdom, two members of the Fortress will take on Charlie and Draco, also known as Doomsday in a number one contender's match for the right to challenge the Shadow Coven, whenever they want!" Jack says, before leaving as The Fortress and Doomsday stare each other down.
"And another blockbuster match announced for SSW Kingdom: The Fortress will take on Doomsday!" Armando announces.
"Indeed. The winner will take on the Shadow Coven for the SSW Tag Team Championships! But let's move on to the main event, as Freddy Escobar and the Shadow Coven face off!
XoXoXoX
Until the World Goes Cold-Trivium
The crowd cheers as Ash Russo, Jasper Cage and Roman McIntyre come out of the crowd via Anarchy's special entrance, accompanied by Lacey Alvarez. They get in the ring and pose for the crowd, as Ash motions a title around his waist.
"If Anarchy were to win this match, Ash Russo would probably carry some momentum heading into SSW Kingdom!" Armando says.
"I sure hope so…" Punk mutters.
Nothing happens, and for 2 minutes, Ash and the rest of Anarchy wait for their oppoenents.
"Where is Freddy Escobar, and the Shadow Coven?" Armando asks.
"Who knows, and…wait, what the hell?!" Punk yells as both the Monarchy and the Shadow Coven come out of the crowd, and rush the ring to begin attacking Anarchy. The anarchists try to resist them, but they are overwhelmed by the combined force of Monarchy and the Coven.
