Before the show…

The screen cuts to Detrick arriving to the arena early. He walks in with his bag and heads to the weight rooms to warm up. But the moment he stepped through those doors, he froze. Inside the weight room was only one person: his brother Freddy Escobar, warming up for his own match. When Escobar looked up and saw Detrick, he grew distant and slightly cold. Escobar paid Cyrus no attention, even as he approached.

Detrick: Freddy….

Freddy: …..Detrick.

Detrick: Listen hermano, I just gotta ask if-

Freddy: Save it. I already know what you're going to ask, and I can assure I can handle this situation with Sullivan myself. I don't need any of your advice, Detrick.

Detrick was taken aback by what his brother said. With each word said, Cyrus grew more and more disappointed in how things were turning out. Freddy, on the other hand, was not even bothered by this, collected his bag and starts to walk off. But before he could leave, Detrick turns around and grabs his shoulder.

Detrick: That's not what I was gonna-

Detrick didn't even finish his sentence because Freddy swatted his hand away. And without looking back, he begins to speak.

Freddy: I don't care, Cyrus! I already told you to save whatever you were going to say for somebody who cares! Now if you'll excuse me, I need to prepare myself to finish something you failed at.

Escobar storms towards the exit and was about to leave. However, he stopped dead in his tracks. His blood went cold and eyes become dilated when Detrick asked one question.

Detrick: When Sullivan said this was about pops, he was right, wasn't he?

Freddy didn't turn to face Detrick. He didn't move at all. Instead, he just stood facing the door while Cyrus continues to speak.

Detrick: I understand why you should be angry with me. I let him get away with doing something like that to pop's grave. I should've at least beaten him when I had the chance. You don't have to say it, but I wanted to apologize if it feels like I let you down...if I let the familia down. But I know that you aren't even willing to team up with your worst enemy cause of pops...it's because of what he tried to do to me, isn't it?

Escobar stays silent for what felt like a long time. Detrick didn't know how his words affected his brother. He isn't sure if Freddy would go berserk or if he'll start crying. Yet, neither happened. Instead, Escobar opens the door and said one sentence.

Freddy: Buena suerte en su fósforo del título.

Detrick didn't know what to make of his brother or his feelings. Yet, he couldn't help but give a sigh and a sad smirk.

Detrick: Gracias, hermano. Y divertirse culo de patadas Sullivan.

With that, Freddy walks out and leaves Detrick alone in the weight room, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. Soon, the screen cuts to black, and a video package starts up.


The screen was filled with dark, grey clouds. Each cloud gave off a jolt of lightning, and as the thunder sounds, a deep voice begins to narrate.

"Dark shadows loom over ICW…"

"And with broken friendships, stolen opportunities, and wakes of destruction

Chaos fills the halls of the Battlefield."

"But with chaos….comes opportunity."

The clouds soon began to take shape in a form of a screen. It began to play different highlights of the past five weeks to the instrumentals of Voices (by Motionless In White).

"TONIGHT:

-Two of most destructive teams in the world come face to face to battle for supremacy and the Tag Team titles….

"We will burn a Nation of Violence until it's nothing but ashes!"

"No one is safe until NOV become ICW Tag Team Champions!"

-A woman fights to save her friends from the path of darkness…

"Even if it means I have to walk through the path of darkness, I will rip Sarah's head off and save my sisters."

"Her friends are gone. The Misfits are no more. And soon, Daria will be no more….."

-Two men will go to war all over the arena…

"Chris Blade has stolen MY glory for the last time! I will take what is rightfully belongs to me: the International Title!

"It doesn't matter if it's on the roof, in the crowd, in catering, or underground, I will beat the shit out of Zack Mercer and retain MY International Title!

-A woman out to right the wrongs and humble an arrogant champion...

"I will hurt Angelica. And I will take back the Women's title."

"I've broken Brianna in the past. I will do it again. But this time, she won't get back up!"

-Bitter rivals unite to take down an unstoppable force...

"Nobody will stop me from destroying this place. Not a "madman" and certainly not a fallen Prince."

"Freddy and Furno will both be buried by my hands."

"Freddy can do what he wants. But NOTHING and NOBODY will stop me from beating Sullivan and Genocide to a bloody pulp!"

"The Cobra Club is just another wannabe Monarchy. And it is time that myself….and Furno cut the heads off these snakes for good."

-And as a dominant champion covers ICW in darkness….

"The Era of Darkness will continue as long as I remain ICW Heavyweight Champion!"

He must do battle against a "Lucha Warrior" set to overcome the odds and deliver on his ultimate promise….

"I made a promise to take the title from Ben Jones. I missed that chance once before, but I will not miss my chance again. "¡Te lo prometo!"

A man with nothing but grit and determination fighting to prove his critics wrong….

"I am a man with nothing to lose, and everything to take. I will never stop fighting until I beat Ben Jones and become ICW Heavyweight Champion!"

And a "Marvelous One" prepared to shine the spotlight on himself and take the "marvelous" prize."

"The spotlight has always been on ME! And it is time that the Heavyweight Championship be back in the spotlight….and in Marvelous hands!"

"Tonight, the world will witness men & women fight. Fight for glory. Fight for revenge. Fight to stand tall through the darkness. Tonight, the world will witness ICW's RETRIBUTION!"

A flash cut of all of the rivalries, all of the past carnage, all of the brawling were played. Soon a loud thundering boom was heard followed by a flash of light, and then everything went black. Soon, the instrumentals to Voices (by Motionless in White) started up again as the title card appeared.

And now, ICW presents the third PPV of Season Two:

RETRIBUTION!


The screen soon cuts to a darkened arena. All of a sudden, pyro went off all over the stage. The lights came on as the camera cuts over to the crowd. Everyone was cheering and making noise as the screen transitions to the commentary table.

Jazz: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the third PPV of this season. Welcome to ICW RETRIBUTION! I am Jazz Conway, and joining me, as always, is Jay Masters!

Jay: ICW are in dark times, Jazz! The Dark Family and The Cobra Club are running things here, and everyone are slowly but surely going insane! And it is so much fun to watch!

Jazz: Well hopefully tonight there will be a shift in this dark times because of our two huge matches: Two of the most vile and repulsive members of the Cobra Club, Genocide and Seth Sullivan, will team up against the bitterest of enemies turned into an unholy alliance: Freddy Escobar & Furno Moxley!

Jay: And who can forget the carnage and mayhem waiting for us in the main event? There, Ben Jones, not even a week removed from the battle against Detrick Cyrus, will defend his Heavyweight title against not only Cyrus himself, but Rick Washington and Marvelous Tate Williams in a Four Way Elimination Match!

Jazz: Well, we're not going to keep everyone waiting any longer. Let's get right into the first match of the night!

The spotlight cuts off, and Supremacy (by Muse) begins to play. The stage begins to illuminate the silhouettes of Edward and Aiden. Soon, the lights returned to normal, revealing Edward wearing his top hat & carrying his cane, and Aiden wearing his Union Jack jacket.

"The following contest is a Six Man Tag Team Match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, at a total combined weight of 445 lbs: 'Edward Mercury & Aiden Remington III' KINGS OF A NEW AGE!"

As they stood on stage, their music stops playing. Fight (by CFO$) starts playing, and Chris Owens walks out to more boos. He stood next to Edward & Aiden, and all three men raised their pinkies in the air, then walked down the ramp.

"Their tag team partner, from Manchester, England, standing 6'6" & weighing in at 255 lbs: 'Wrestling's Worst Nightmare' CHRIS OWENS! Together, they are the LORDS OF WRESTLING!"

Jay: The Lords of Wrestling are here to cleanse this place of those disgusting mutts once and for all, Jazz!

Jazz: This stems back when Chris Wolf and Chris Owens were facing off against each other. But soon, the KNA united with Owens to become the "Lords of Wrestling," and blindsided The Pack! Since then, both sides have been at odds with each other, trying to prove who are the superior trio.

The trio climbed on the apron and stepped in the ring. The KNA each climbed up the turnbuckle as Owens stood in the ring while bragging about himself and his allies. Soon, the lights cuts off, and a crimson moon appears on the titantron. Suddenly, there was a sound of a howling wolf, three wolves appear on the screen: a red one, a grey one, and a white one. The Wolves jump at the camera, and it falls to the ground at an angle, with the screen cracked. Three pairs of feet walk up to the camera. The Camera is suddenly picked up, revealing three men in wolf mask and hoodies, hoods up. Suddenly, a grey light Illuminates the right side of the stage, revealing Matt lopez, wearing Black and grey.. A second light, this one white, Illuminates the left side of the stage, this time revealing Asher King, wearing black and white. Finally, a third light, this one red, Illuminates the middle of the stage, this time revealing Chris wolf, wearing black and dark red.. As soon as all three of them are illuminated, they howl, and Wolfpack (by Blind Channel) starts to play.

"Introducing their opponents, at a total combined weight of 621 lbs: 'Matt Lopez, Chris Wolf, and Asher King" THE PACK!"

Jazz: For the better part of two months, The Pack and the Lords of Wrestling have been at each other's throats.

Jay: Honestly, Jazz. The Lords of Wrestling have already proven themselves as superior to Chris, Asher, and Lopez. This is just to solidify that claim once and for all!

All three then walk down to the ring. They slid in and got in the L.O.W's faces. The referee had to keep both sides at bay before sending them to their corners. Wolf told the others that he's starting while Edward and Owens stepped onto the apron, leaving Aiden in the ring.

Jazz: At least they can settle which trio is superior to the other right now!

Wolf & Remington starts for their teams as the bell rings. Remington and Wolf begins to circle each other. Chris kept his guard up which allowed him to avoid any small kicks Remington tried to throw at him. The two soon met in the center of the ring and cautiously grabs each other's hands. As soon as they did, they immediately went for the Test of Strength, pushing their shoulders against each other! At first, they were evenly matched, and their tag partners were cheering them on! With their size and weight practically equal, neither man had the advantage over the other. Yet, Remington used his in-ring technical IQ, and he trips his opponent onto his back! Remington went to press his knees onto Asher's ribs, but the "Bloody Wolf" surprised him with the Monkey Flip, knocking him onto his back. Asher tries to roll on top of him, but AR3 catches him in a body scissors and applies the Guillotine Chokehold! Owens & Edward yells for Aiden to choke him out while Remington tightened the grasp on his neck! However, Asher wisely went to his feet and attempts a Northern Lights. However, AR3 reacted quick and counters into a Dragon Sleeper! Just as quick as Remington did, Asher quickly counters the submission hold into a Snapmare. As soon as Remington gets up, King connects with a Dropkick to his opponent's mouth! Remington quickly rolls to his corner while Asher stood in the center, waiting for his opponent to make a move!

Instead of making a move, Aiden stood up and tags Edward in. But Mercury did not step inside the ring yet. He opted to yell at Asher to tag himself out because he wants to face off against Wolf. Asher was highly skeptical at first, but Wolf yells at Asher to tag him in. Asher shrugs and tags him in, and both Wolf & Edward steps in before pacing around each other. Wolf and Edward were about to lock up, but "Mr. NC-17" instead charges after Owens and Remington & knocks them off of the apron! Edward turns around and attacks Chris from behind, beating him down and stomping away at him. Mercury pulls his feet up and Irish Whips him across the ring. He goes for a Back Body Drop, but Chris grabs his head and hits a Swinging Neckbreaker! When Wolf stood up, he lifts Edward to his feet hooks his arm over his head. He attempts a Brainbuster, but "The Antagonist" knees him in the face which causes Wolf to let him down. Edward shoves Chris to the ropes and drops down to the canvas. Wolf runs over him and rebounds off the ropes. Mercury got up and attempted a Leapfrog, but Chris catches him onto his shoulders! He called for the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing (Inverted F5 into a Scorpion Death Drop), but Owens & AR3 storms the ring and pulls Edward free! Matt and Asher storms into the ring, and both teams got into a standoff! The Pack and L.O.W stood face to-face, and even though the referee tries to get everyone out of the ring, a huge brawl breaks out between all six men! The ring was full of chaos, and the crowd were loving it! Neither side had the huge advantage, but L.O.W were slowly knocking The Pack against the ropes. They attempted to clothesline them out of the ring, but Matt, Asher, and Wolf ducks the attack and hits Triple Superkicks, knocking their opponents over the ropes and tumbling to the floor! KNA gathered with Owens to regroup, but this allowed Matt, Asher, and Wolf to run the ropes and hit Triple Suicide Dives onto everybody! Wolf grabs Edward and tosses him into the ring. When he rolls in, he tags in Asher. Asher immediately tags in Matt, and both Wolf & King Whips Edward to the ropes. On the rebound, Wolf and Asher hits a double Arm Drag, seating Edward on his backside, and Matt connects with a Basement Dropkick! He soon went for the pin.

1...KICKOUT!

By this time, Owens and Remington recovered just enough to get back into their corner. But back in the ring, Matt kept the assault going by sitting Edward up and repeatedly kicking him in his chest. He lifts Edward up to his feet and tries to go for a Double Underhook Suplex. Edward counters this by using his body weight to press himself down, not allowing Matt to lift him so easily. While Lopez continues to try and lift Edward, "The Antagonist," thanks to his in-ring awareness, pushes Matt into the L.O.W's corner! While Edward had him pinned to the corner, Owens tags himself in and proceeds to beat Matt with forearms to his face! Even when Edward left the ring, Owens continues his assault by stomping down on Matt over and over again. All of a sudden, Owens turns and attacks Wolf and Asher, knocking them off of the apron! Wolf was pissed, and rushes into the ring! But the ref did not want another chaotic situation, and blocked him and Asher from entering the ring! The KNA took the opportunity to grab each of Matt's arm and apply the Rope Hung Armbar, stretching his limbs close to their breaking points, and Owens punched and kicked Matt just for added damage. Soon, Chris and Asher reluctantly stepped back on the apron, and the KNA releases Matt, who collapses against the corner. KNA hops off of the apron, and the Lords of Wrestling connects with the Sliding Kicks/Corner Cannonball combination! Edward begins to taunt the crowd which results in large boos while Owens tags in Aiden. He picks Matt up and hit a Snapmare. AR3 follows up with the PK, and Owens finishes off with the Running Senton. Aiden soon went for the cover.

1...2 KICKOUT!

As soon as Matt got his shoulder up, Aiden grabs it and begins to twist! He was bending and twisting the arm in ways that shouldn't be bent, causing Matt to scream in agony! Soon, Remington applies the Armbar! As AR3 tries to tear Matt's muscles, Edward and Owens runs over and pulls Wolf and Asher off the apron! They did not stop there, and they proceed to slam Wolf & Asher into the apron repeatedly! Owens soon hoists Wolf in the air and Powerbombs him onto the apron while Matt lays out Asher with the Master Plan (Lifting Inverted DDT)! Back in the ring, Matt was rolling around the ring in order to escape the hold! He soon found himself on his stomach, but Aiden simply transitioned into a Fujisawa Armbar! Aiden was wrenching on his arm in order to shatter it, but Matt used his feet to touch the ropes and force a break! The referee pulled Remington away, but this frees Owens to grab Matt's arm and for Edward to stomp down on it! Lopez clutches at it in agony, but made the mistake of rolling away from the ropes. With the referee backing away, Remington lifts Matt backup and hits an Overhead Kick to his badly damaged arm! Matt grabs his arm and falls to his knees. Remington tags in Edward, and they both grab his arms. Edward and Aiden twists Matt arm and slams him to the canvas! They clutches both arms between their feet and proceeds to twist them, causing more damage! Owens applauds his allies while the crowd opted to boo them, and Asher & Wolf manages to pull themselves back to their corner. Edward sees this, and forces Matt to reach his arm out to them! He mocks Lopez and pulls at his finger. He tells the crowd to quiet down before snapping Matt's fingers! Lopez clutches at it, but "The Antagonist" simply grabs his arm and applies a Crossface! Lopez tried to reach the ropes, but Edward grabs his hand and wraps Matt's arm around his own neck! Mercury soon pulled back, wrechinging in the Crossface even tighter! Matt was beginning to fade, but in a desperate move, Lopez rolls himself and Edward across the ring and touched the ropes! The crowd began to break out into a "LO-PEZ" chant as Edward stood up. He tags Owens in, and "Wrestling's Worst Nightmare" simply smirked while looking down at his opponent. Owens simply kicked Matt around while trash talking Wolf, Asher, and the crowd! He picks up Lopez and attempts a Pumphandle Neckbreaker. However, Matt manages to land on his feet and catch Owens with a Reverse Spike Hurricanrana!

Both men were down, and the crowd were rallying behind Matt to make a tag! Edward and Aiden were yelling for Owens to get up, and Edward decided to jump off the apron. He grabs his cane and tried to storm the ring, but the referee was not allowing that to happen! He tried to pry the cane away from Mercury, and Matt made the tag to Wolf! At that moment, Edward relinquishes the cane just as the ref turned around! Because the ref did not see the tag, he forced Wolf back on the apron! Wolf began to go nuts and argued with the referee! Meanwhile, Owens recovers and drags Matt back to the L.O.W's corner! Then, all three men proceed to gang up on Matt and beat the holiness out of him to loud boos! Asher helped calm Wolf down, and pulled him back on the apron. Once Wolf left the ring, Owens lift Matt up and hits the Pumphandle Neckbreaker followed by the cover.

1...2..KICKOUT!"

The crowd broke out into a "LO-PEZ" chant as Owens stood up in disbelief! Asher & Wolf were helping the crowd rally behind Matt, but Owens tags in AR3. They double Irish Whip Lopez, and Aiden catches him with the Octopus Stretch! The crowd cheered for Matt to break free! But, Mercury grabs Remington's arm and helped apply the hold more. This didn't last, however, because the referee broke their grip. Yet the damage was done. Matt Lopez begins to collapse to the canvas. Remington grabs Matt's bad arm and began to bend it in different ways, causing more damage. Lopez contemplated about stopping the match and saving his arms, but he heard his partners and the crowd rally behind him! With willpower alone, Lopez slowly got back to his feet and counters the hold into a Back Body Drop! AR3 held on to his leg, looking for the Sunset Flip into the pin, but Lopez counters into the Double Stomps! The crowd were cheering for Matt as he crawled towards his team! AR3 slowly gets up and tags in Edward, and Matt reached out to Asher…..only for Wolf to tag himself in at the last second! The crowd gave a mixed reaction as Wolf rushes in and takes Edward down with several Forearm shots! Mercury got back up, and "Mr. NC-17" whips him across the ring. At least, he tried to because Edward reverses it and tosses Wolf instead. Unfortunately for "The Antagonist." this allows Wolf to connect with a Running Crossbody, taking him down! Wolf got up and immediately knocks Owns off of the apron! When he got up, Wolf followed up by hitting a Plancha, launching himself over the ropes and taking him out! But Chris did not stop there because he lifted Owens back up and slams him into the steel steps! When Remington tried to pull himself back up, Wolf took the opportunity to hit him the X-Plex onto the apron! He sees Edward starting to get up, and rolled back in the ring. But when he picks Edward up, he was suddenly hit with GOTCHA (fake Superkick followed by Superkick to the knees), knocking Wolf down! He laughs at him and runs the ropes...right into a Spear from Wolf! He soon went for the cover.

1...2...thr-KICKOUT!

Chris got up and stood in the corner, stalking Edward and calling for the Claymore. But just as Mercury begins to get back up, Remington & Owens got back on the apron! When Wolf sees this, he runs over and knocks both of them back down to the floor! However, this allows Edward to run over and attack Wolf from behind! He hooks Wolf's head and attempts a Tornado DDT! But when he push off of the corner, Wolf throws him off, and connects with the Claymore Kick, turning Edward inside out! Wolf did not opt to go for the cover. Instead, he lifts Wolf onto his shoulders and went for the Wolf In Sheep's Clothing! But Edward gets himself free and hits a Reverse Suplex! Edward then followed up by locking in the Cattle Mutilation! Edward tightened his grip on Wolf's arms, but "Mr. NC-17" pulled himself back to his feet, and he deadlift him into the Gringo Killer! Both men were down, and the only two people on the apron were Asher and Owens! Soon, Edward and Wolf each crawled and made the tag to both men! As Owens rushes into the ring, the "Bloody Wolf" hits him with a Springboard Missile Dropkick to a pop from the crowd. Owens got to his feet, and Asher decides to take him back down with a Tilt-a-Whirl into the Satellite DDT! AR3 had just recovered and rushes into the ring, but King ducks the attack and hits a Snap German Suplex, knocking him out of the ring! Aiden and Edward begin to get back up, but a recovered Matt and Wolf runs into the ring and connects with Double Tope Con Hilo! Back in the ring, Asher pulls Owens back to his feet, but he was shoved into the ropes. When he rebounds, "Wrestling's Worst Nightmare" attempts the Wasteland (Spinning Side Slam), but Asher counters into a sudden Crucifix Bomb pin!

1...2...thr-KICKOUT!

The crowd gasps, thinking the match was over right then. Owens was knocked for a loop, and could not be aware of his surroundings! This allowed Asher to lock in the Wolf's Bite (Dragon Sleeper)! The crowd were coming alive, chanting for Owens to tap! Unfortunately, Owens still had some fight left, and when Asher fell back onto the submission, Owens rolls over and countered it into a Reverse Vertical Suplex! He pulls himself up, and hits a sudden Running Senton to Asher's back! Owens stood up and yelled that he is "The Pack's Worse Nightmare" to loud boos! He then lifted Asher back to his feet and attempts Death By Elbow (Wrist Lock transitioned into the Elbow Smash), but Asher ducks it and surprised his opponent with the STO! Owens was down, but King knew he would not be down for long, and turns to see Matt and Wolf back in the corner! He hurries over and tries to tag in Matt, but once again, Chris Wolf tags himself in! The crowd noticed this too, and voiced their displeasure while Matt was not too happy about it as well. Wolf did not pay any attention, because he was stalking Owens, waiting for him to get back up. When he did, Wolf connects with another Claymore Kick, knocking him back down! He lifts Owens up and tells Matt & Asher to get into position for the Fallen Prey (Springboard Knee into a Powerbomb into a Backstabber)! Matt & King were slightly unsure about Wolf right now, but decided to help out anyway. Matt & Asher got into the ring, and King hoists Owens seated on his shoulders Powerbomb style. Wolf got on the apron and was about to hit the Springboard Knee. But when he went for it, the KNA suddenly pulls Chris's leg and caused him to crash onto the ropes! Owens, meanwhile, punched Asher in the face several times before landing in front of Asher and shoving him into Lopez and knocking them out of the ring! Chris tags in Edward, and the KNA picks up Wolf before connecting with the Coming of a New Age (Tombstone Facebuster by Edward into a codebreaker by Aiden)! Edward soon went for the cover.

1...2...3!

"Here are your winners: THE LORDS OF WRESTLING!"

Jay: What a win for the Lords of Wrestling! They've just proven themselves to be superior than The Pack!

Edward raised his arms in victory as Owens & Aiden enters the ring to celebrate. They stood over Wolf's body and posed by raising their pinkies in the air to a booing crowd! As L.O.W left the ring and left up the ramp, Matt and Asher enters the ring. The approached Chris Wolf and tried to help him up, but the look on Wolf's face caught them off guard a bit: the look of anger and hatred. But Wolf simply rolled out of the ring and dragged himself to the back with Asher and Matt following.

Jazz: This may be a bitter defeat for The Pack, but I'm sure they can bounce back from this.

Jay: Oh please, Jazz! Everyone knows that Chris Owens & the KNA have the momentum on their side! The Lords of Wrestling will soon rule over ICW!

Jazz: We'll have to see where each side will go from here. But coming up next is a match built on broken friendships as Daria St. Leger makes her PPV debut against the woman who took the Misfits away: "The Witch" Sarah Lewis! But before we get to that, let's take a look back at how we got to this point, beginning with three close friends….


As the video package starts to play, the screen suddenly turns black. Soon, somebody had picked up a phone camera. It was revealed to be Alexandra holding it. She appeared to be her normal stoic & professional self while a normal looking (at least to her friends) and energetic Kirsi was behind her, grinning from ear to ear. A nonchalant Daria was in the background semi-paying attention to what was going on. She was nonchalantly leaning on the wall while messing with her own phone. Alexandra soon cleared her voice and begin to speak.

Alexandra: Greetings, ladies & gentlemen. My name is Alexandra Xenou, and-

Before Alexandra could even finish her sentence, Kirsi jumped onto Alex's back and picked up the camera, hovering over her and Alex while Daria continued to silently watch.

Kirsi: Hi guys! You all can just call me Kirsi. It's awesome to meet you all!

Alexandra: …..Kirsi. Will you PLEASE get off of the me and LET GO of the camera!?

Kirsi: Oh come on, Alex! I just wanna say hi to the people watching!

Alexandra: Yes, however, I was in the middle of our introductions! Now if you would please be so kind as to get off of me so I can finish!

The camera begins to shake between the two ladies fighting over it. Amidst the unclear view, Daria rolled her eyes and grabbed the camera. She wrapped her arms around their necks, which caused them to stop fighting. She then levitates the camera in front of the three, who regained their composure.

Daria: Hey guys. Names Daria, and the three of us...well, we're the Misfits.

Immediately after Daria said that, the video shifts to highlights of the Misfits careers to the tune of Hatet (by Dunderbeist). We see clips of them meeting in Japan to the trio becoming the Artist of Stardom, Shimmer Champions, and the Shine Tag Team, Champions. The video soon cuts to Daria, Kirsi, and Alexandra arriving to ICW….by somehow breaking into Trell's office on several occasions. We then cut to the Misfits debut and Daria pinning then-women's champion Carson Michaels to win for her team. But most importantly, the video showed the deep bond and sisterhood all three women have for each other.

But then…. the music slowly becomes disjointed and twisted...and the creepy sound of laughter overtook the lyrics. And just as the video captures the three of them hugging, it pulls back to reveal Sarah Lewis in the dark cave, holding that exact photo and laughing evilly.

Sarah: Two intriguing little creatures...full of such wasted potential…. No worries, I will be the one to open their eyes…

As the video becomes twisted and darkened, we see the moments Sarah encountered first Kirsi then Alexandra, and when she tapped them with her staff. The video soon cuts to Episode 10, and the moment when Lewis confront The Misfits in the ring….and when Kirsi & Alexandra attacked Daria! It displays the cold expression in Kirsi & Alexandra's bloody red eyes, and the pain & heartache written in Daria's face. The video soon cuts to Daria sitting under a bright spotlight surrounded by pure darkness.

Daria: My friends mean more to me than any title or accomplishment that I have had or will ever have. And a "Witch" has….she decided to fill their mind with darkness and twist their mind….

+The video soon cuts to Daria's matches against Kirsi and Alexandra, when she famously refused to fight either of them. It soon shows Kirsi & Alexandra beating down Daria, and Daria somehow attacking Sarah! The video was soon in slow-mo as Sarah narrates.

Sarah: Daria won't understand that her friends are better off under my control...and even dares to challenge the might of darkness. Well, it is time that Daria bare witness to the power that darkness can bring...and the destruction it can

The video soon cuts to Kirsi & Alexandra resuming their beatings to Daria, and pinning her. It soon cuts to Kirsi & Alexandra hitting their separate finishers before holding her up in front of Sarah. The video soon slows down ad Daria narrates.

Daria: Sarah Lewis. No matter what you plan to do, I'm gonna knock your head off. I'm gonna break your mumbo jumbo spell. And I WILL save Kirsi & Alexandra from your darkness, even if it kills me!

As soon as she says that, Sarah Lewis hits The Kill Shot (Kinshasa), knocking Daria out! The video package soon ends with Sarah, Kirsi, and Alexandra standing over an unconscious Daria. The screen soon slowly cuts to black, with Lewis laughing evil, before returning to the arena.


Rage of Poseidon (by Apocalyptica) begins the play, and the crowd popped HARD! The arena's lights darken as Daria enters from the crowd, slowly descending down the stairs. Instead of her usual, nonchalant self, she had an aura of seriousness around her as she walked with focus and determination.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, representing the Misfits, from Chicago, Illinois: DARIA ST. LEGER!"

Jazz: I've never seen Daria so full of determination and walk with purpose more than she has right now! She's ready for a fight tonight, ladies & gentlemen!

Jay: Oh please! Jazz, she is stepping into the ring with someone who has always been way more dangerous than any other woman here tonight! Daria is walking into a situation where she will surely lose! All because she wants her friends back!

Daria goes past the barricade and climbs onto the apron. She did not even rests on a ring post, or surveyed the crowd. Instead, she steps between the second rope and slowly proceeds to lean backwards on the corner while staring intensely for her opponent. Soon, the lights cut completely off, and Deadly Nightshade (by Blackbriar) begins to play. The crowd begins to BOO INTENSELY as a red & purple spotlight shined down on Sarah Lewis, holding her staff. She taps it on the ground, and the entire arena begins to illuminate red & purple. Soon, Kirsi & Alexandra appear next to her.

"And introducing her opponent, being accompanied by Kirsi & Alexandra, and representing The Dark Family, from Salem, Massachusetts: 'The Witch' SARAH LEWIS!"

Jazz: As we have seen from the video package, this whole issue spams from Sarah somehow….taking over Kirsi and Alexandra, and having them betray Daria.

Jay: Oh stop lying to the people, Jazz! All Sarah did was open their eyes and see that Daria kept them down! Lewis gave them an out, and Leger can't get over the fact that her "friends" are no longer her friends!

Jazz: Everyone, even Daria, knows that Lewis has a history of somehow warping people's minds and having them under her control! And tonight, Daria plans on breaking that trance and getting her friends back!

Sarah heads to the ring and stopped short of the apron. She taps her staff, causing the music to return to normal and the lights to come back on. Upon entering the ring, she hands her staff to Kirsi & Alexandra before facing off with Daria, who appeared ready to strike at any moment! Lewis did not pay it any mind, and simply paced back and forth.

The bell rings, and Daria IMMEDIATELY hits a Running Big Boot right to Sarah's face! The crowd popped for the stiff kick, and Leger begins to pummel at "The Witch" relentlessly and with unforeseen fury! Sarah was helpless as Daria picks her up and slams her into one of the corners then proceeding to beat her down some more! Lewis was severely stunned by the time Daria finished the beating, and the crowd was loving every minute of it! Daria was not finished, however, and she whips Lewis into the opposite corner! Leger went for a Running Kick, but Sarah slides out of the way at the last minute. Daria stopped herself from crashing into the corner, and "The Witch" delivers a Forearm to Daria's face! The lone Misfit simply adjusted her hair and hits a Lariat! Daria proceeds to stomp Sarah with her army boot as the crowd continues to cheer and chant for her!

Ringside, Kirsi & Alexandra were beside themselves! They were scrambling to try and save Sarah, who was getting pummelled! Soon, they managed to grab Lewis's arm and pull her out of the ring. The crowd begins to chant "DA-RI-A!" repeatedly, and the lone Misfit rolls out of the ring and went after her opponent. But, Kirsi and Alexandra blocked her path, and Daria froze in place. All of her fury and anger quickly washed away at the sight of her two friends. Kirsi and Alexandra simply stood there with a cold expression completely different from the old Kirsi & Alex. Sarah Lewis, meanwhile, rolls back in the ring as the referee counts to four. At five, Daria backed away from the two and steps back in the ring. But just as she steps between the ropes, Sarah catches her with a stiff Knee to Daria's face! Daria was stunned, and this allows Sarah to climb to the middle turnbuckle and hit a Knee Drop to the back of her opponent's head!

The crowd boos loudly which causes Sarah to chuckle wickedly. She kicks Daria across her chest several times for added damage before kicking her out of the ring and collapsing to the floor. Lewis then pulled the referee's attention towards herself and away from Kirsi and Alexandra, and they begin to beat down their former friend! Everyone in the arena boos as Daria was beaten just as bad and then tossed into the barricade with a loud THUD! Sarah finally releases the referee and slides out of the ring, approaching Daria. The crowd continues to boo as Lewis drags her up and toss her into the steel steps as if she was garbage! Lewis grabs Daria and tosses her back into the ring before crawling back in as well.

Sarah begins to pace around Daria, who crawled to her hands and knees. She took great enjoyment in Daria's physical, mental, and emotional torment at the hands of her now former friends, and wanted to continue the onslaught herself! Sarah pulls Leger up to her feet, and delivers a stiff Forearm to her jaw with so much force that it knocked her into the corner. The crowd continues to rain down boos, but it only seems to enhance "The Witch's" enjoyment! Sarah begins to Forearm Daria in jaw repeatedly until Leger collapses down to the canvas. Lewis simply placed her foot on Daria's head as a sign of superiority, and the crowd boos her even more for it! Daria tries to stand back up, but Sarah hits her with a stiff Roundhouse Kick to her face, knocking her back down! Everyone begins to chant at Sarah to "GO A-WAY! GO A-WAY," but Sarah simply laughed at everyone's misery. Unbeknownst to her, however, something was beginning to change in Daria. Replays of the past events begins to play back in her head, including the moment Sarah took her friends away from her. Those thoughts made her blood slowly reach closer to a boiling point.

Sarah soon calls for Alexandra to hand her the staff, which Xenou does without question. The referee wasn't having any of it, and tried to take the weapon away from her. But with his gaze turned, this frees up Kirsi & Alexandra to drag Daria out of the ring and resume their systematic beat down over their former best friend! They soon stopped the beating as Sarah rolls out with the staff and ordered the duo to hold Daria by her arms. The ref warns her to not use it, but Sarah Lewis paid him no attention at all. Sarah went to swing the staff…..and Daria pulls Kirsi in front of her! Sarah accidentally hit Kirsi with the staff and knocked her out cold, and none of them couldn't believe it! Sarah simply shrugged and went to hit Leger again, but she ducks out of the way which causes Alexandra to get hit instead! Leger went to attack, but Sarah simply kicks her in the stomach and tosses her into the steel steps once more before throwing her back in the ring.

As Daria is sent back in the ring, she sees Lewis look down at Kirsi & Alexandra with complete malice & kick them while mentioning their incompetence! And at that moment, it all came flooding back: the abuse on her friends, forcing them to break their promise to never hurt each other, and all while Sarah laughed wickedly. And now seeing them being abused by "The Witch" caused something in Daria's mind to snap. The crowd, meanwhile" was booing the holy hell out of the unholy woman as she finishes kicking at the duo before tossing her staff in the ring. She rolls in and picks up the staff before lifting Daria to her knees. She tries to hit her with the staff and end her for good, but Daria grabs it and slowly stood back up. The crowd began to come alive as the lone Misfit stared at her opponent, her usual calm blue eyes now showing unrelenting fury that took even Sarah by surprise! Lewis tries to fight back, but Daria simply kicked her so hard, she was sent all the way to the corner! Daria looked at the staff in her hands, tossed it to the side, and approached Lewis. Sarah desperately kicked Daria in the stomach and attempted The Kill Shot (Kinshasa) that has put so many people away. But Daria grabs Sarah's leg, to "The Witch's" shock, ...and unleashed hell!

Daria pulled Sarah into a DEVASTATING Exploder Suplex which sent her across the ring! The crowd popped as Daria proceeds to punch and stomp down at her opponent until Sarah was balled up in the corner! As the ref pulls her away, Sarah pops back up and hits a stiff kick to her face. But Daria was unfazed. In fact, she begins to smirk and FLOORS Sarah with a wicked Chop to her throat! The crowd were going crazy for Daria as she continues to beat Sarah over and over again with Chops, Kicks, Forearms, and finally a nasty looking Headbutt! Soon, Lewis was barely conscious, and Daria hits the Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex, tossing her across the ring! As soon as Sarah crawled to her feet, she was taken back down with a Lariat that almost took her head off! The arena fully broke out to a loud "DAR-I-A!" chant, and the woman herself hoist Sarah up and delivers a Jumping Piledriver! Sarah was unconscious at this point, but Daria was not finished yet...not one bit. She stood back up and hits Lewis with the Jackknife Powerbomb! Then, she flows Lewis onto her stomach and deadlifts her into the April's Gift (Croyt's Wrath)! Daria lift up the unconscious Sarah and hits the Dreamfall (Lifting Back Suplex into a Front Facebuster)! Daria Soon went for the cover.

1...2...3!

"Here is your winner: DARIA ST. LEGER!"

Jazz: Jesus, Daria just laid waist to Sarah Lewis with ease! It was pretty much a one-sided beat down, and the crowd LOVES it!

Jay: …..This doesn't fix anything. This win does not guarantee that Kirsi & Alexandra will be her friend again.

The referee went to raise Daria's hand, but the lone Misfit shoves him to the side and rolls out of the ring. She helps Kirsi & Alexandra up, who were severely dazed and barely conscious. Daria began to feel hopeful that her friends finally returned to them….until they were hit from behind! Daria looks behind her to see a barely standing Sarah holding her staff! All of the fury returned to Daria, and she begins to choke Sarah! As Lewis was gasping for air, she taps her staff on the floor, and Kirsi & Alexandra rose back to their feet. Soon, they begin to attack her once more! As she was being beaten down, Daria's anger begins to cloud her mind, and she...she… she struck her friends! The crowd gasps in shock as realization begins to quickly set it. Daria's anger was soon replace with shock as Sarah, Kirsi, and Alexandra begins to retreat back up the ramp, and "The Witch" having a sinister smile on her face. Daria, meanwhile, collapses at ringside, shocked and frozen at the fact she broke her promise to never strike her friends!

Jay: Did you see that, Jazz!? Daria just struck her "friends!" I told you she was no good for them! They're better off with Sarah and without her!

Jazz: That was unintentional! Daria...she's...Sarah Lewis is just still mentally trying to break her!

Jay: And it appears that it's working very well here! Even with a loss, Sarah Lewis still appears to be in control!

Jazz: Well, time will tell how Daria….handles her situation. Coming up next, Katie Striker will go one-on-one with Nyx Rosewood-

Jay: Hold that thought, Jazz! Something's going down backstage!


The cameras cut to the backstage parking lot, where Rick Washington, who had just left his car, was assaulted by some guy in a black hoodie! The two were throwing hands at one another throughout the entire parking lot! Washington was gaining the upper hand, and knocking the mystery man towards a car, but the mystery man in black low blows "R-Dub" and opens the car door, slamming it in his face! Washington was barely conscious, and the man slams him into the windshield, shattering it! Washington was hurt badly, but the assailant was not finished. He drags Washington out of the wreckage and tosses him right through the side window! Rick collapses as the assailant quickly backs away and disappears….
