Graveyard, it was night outside and it was gently raining with loud thunder clapping.
"Death. It's quite a scary topic, isn't it? It's been said that death is one of many common fears amongst us humans. Mainly because after we pass on, we've yet to know what's next to us. Do we travel to heaven? Are we damned to hell? Are we reborn into the form of animals? Hell, are we BORN AGAIN in a continuous lifecycle!? Or… is death simply an illusion, with a concept too complex to wrap our heads around? Either way, I don't fear it, because I deal with it… every… single… day…"
Loud thunder eclipses the titantron, as a pair of walking boots makes it's way to the screen. A man, with a hood covering his head and his face cloaked to the camera, is seen carrying a shovel. He then stabs the ground with his shovel and starts digging a hole. He continues to narrate the scene.
"I'm a gravedigger as you can see here. There's nothing I haven't seen in death. People die everyday, it's just human nature."
As the man narrates, a montage of gravestones are seen passing the camera, each having a name of some of the WFA's best wrestlers like "CJ HAWK," "DETRICK CYRUS," "JASON SABRE," "CARSON MICHAELS," "ZACH GREY," "LOGAN STORM," "ANTHONY DRE," "MATT LOPEZ," "JESSIE FARADAY," "CHRIS BLADE," "JUSTIN DANGER," "BRIANNA KELLY," "TRIVOLT," "MARTIN FREUND," "SJ STEELE," "HIRO MIYAMOTO," "BERNARD OWEN," "ADRIAN LORD," "WILL RALSTON," and even "JACK CLASSIC."
"It's plagued humankind for generations, and many people choose to run away from it then to face it. Others, however, use death as a permanent solution to a temporary problem." the man narrates.
He stops digging and glimpses towards a dead tree with a noose hanging from it's branches. He continues to dig, as the camera shows a montage of mass tombs engraved "MONARCHY," "ANARCHY," "NEW SHIELD," "WEAPONRY," "THE FORTRESS," "MAMA'S SOLDIERS," and "SHADOW COVEN."
"It has been personified in many ways. By art, poetry, literature, culture, and even animals... take the snake for example..." the man narrates, before loud hissing is heard.
The scene then flashes to a dark tomb, where a skeleton is seen and a green snake slithering on top it, before going through it's ribcage.
"I've always felt a connection with snakes, how they're viewed as nature's perfect nightmare: a lone, scaly survivor of the wild. Their fierce appearance makes them seen as a hideous monster, a bringer of death, and even the devil himself, hunting for sinners. They bring even the bravest of men to their knees. Snakes... nature's prime predators, ladies and gentlemen!"
When the snake slithers through the skull, it rears up before hissing at the camera, before striking the camera lens! Thunder clapped again, this time matching the snake's eyes to the gravedigger's, as he looks down as a freshly placed casket, and he starts filling the hole with dirt. He continues to narrate.
"I have been called many names. "The psychopath, "the devil," "the madman," "the antichrist!" BUT… I mainly just prefer..."
The man unmasks himself, revealed he has olive-toned skin, with one blue eye and one silver eye, and long shaggy black hair with golden tips.
"The Gravedigger..." he said with a sinister grin, before digging up some dirt and pouring it on the camera lens.
SETH SULLIVAN...
THE COBRA CLUB...
COMING TO...
RING... OF... VALHALLA…
XoXoXoX
Kingdom-Downstait
The crowd begins to cheer as the masked Union Jack Jr. comes out, draped in the UK flag as he salutes to the crowd before getting in the ring.
"Here we have one of Britain's finest wrestlers, the one and only Union Jack Jr.! He is here to avenge his brother, Robin Hood's loss to Detrick Cyrus in the first round!" Armando says. "Can the Prince of Wonderland make it to the finals?"
Invincible-MGK
White smoke plays for about a few seconds, then Detrick Cyrus punches into the air, revealing himself. He told up 2 peace signs and slowly breaks them apart, going down the ramp. He poses on the turnbuckle on the outside, then jumps in. He poses again on the middle turnbuckle, before jumping off.
"And here we have someone who certainly has a score to settle with our Universal Champion, and someone who is one of the favorites to win the Classic Cup!" Punk says.
"It's the Lucha Warrior against the Prince of Wonderland! Who will go on to meet Chris Blade later on tonight at the finals?" Armando asks.
Ding, Ding!
As soon as the bell rings, both men lock up, trying to gain the advantage over the other. It's Union Jack that manages to take Detrick down to the ground with a judo throw, which he then quickly manages to transition into a Cross Armbreaker! Detrick is in pain as Union Jack tries to dissect the Luchador's arm is surgical precision, using kicks to Detrick's arm to add to the damage. However, Detrick quickly manages to get his foot on the ropes, forcing UJJ to let go of Cyrus' arm.
Detrick now gets up, as Union Jack strikes him in the chest with a Knife-Edge Chop, but Detrick welcomes the attack, beckoning Union Jack to hit him with another. Union Jack obliges, striking Detrick with another stiff chop, and now Detrick answers by moving forward and staggering the British Prince with a stiff headbutt to the face! The masked Brit stagger backwards, as Detrick goes for a Spin Kick, which Union Jack dodges, only for Detrick to spin back around with a 915!
Union Jack Jr. falls to the floor, as Detrick capitalizes by leaping onto him with a Standing Moonsault, followed by a Standing Corkscrew Shooting Star Press! Union Jack rolls out of the ring, to try to recover, but that turns out to be a bad move as Detrick crashes into him with a Sasuke Special!
"Amazing show of athleticism by Detrick Cyrus!" Armando praises him as Detrick takes a moment to pose for the fans, before grabbing Union Jack Jr. and sliding him back into the ring, before catapulting himself onto him with a Slingshot Somersault Senton. Detrick kips-up, and waits for Union Jack Jr, to get up before going for a Hurricarana-but Union Jack Jr holds on to him before planting him into the mat with a Sitout Powerbomb!
Union Jack then goes to the top rope, saluting before diving off onto Detrick Cyrus with a Diving Headbutt! Union Jack then lifts Detrick up, before lifting him onto his shoulders and planting him into the floor with the Kingdom's Gate (Attitude Adjustment)! Union Jack goes for the cover, 1, 2, -Detrick kicks out! Union Jack quickly grabs Detrick by the waits and deadlifts him off the ground into a German Suplex! Union Jack bridges into the pin, 1, 2,-Detrick kicks out once again!
Union Jack then lifts Detrick back up onto his shoulders for the Kingdom's Gate….but Detrick wriggles out of it, and he lands behind the British Prince. Union Jack turns around, only for Detrick Cyrus to stagger him with a stiff Roundhouse Kick! Now Detrick grabs Union Jack Jr. and slams him to the ground with a Vertical Suplex, followed by another suplex, and finishing off with yet another suplex, completing the Three Amigos! Now Detrick goes to the top rope as he points to sky and yells out, "VIVA LA RAZA!", before diving onto Union Jack Jr. with a beautiful Frog Splash!
"Homage to Eddie Guerrero by his son, Detrick Cyrus!" Punk says, as Detrick goes for the pin, 1, 2, t-Union Jack kicks out! Now Detrick lifts him on his shoulders into a Fireman's Carry but before Detrick can connect with a DKO, Union Jack wriggles out of that hold before he lands behind Detrick, picks him up and slams him with Off with their Heads! Union Jack bridges into the pin, 1, 2, thr-Detrick kicks out! Union Jack is frustrated, as he picks Detrick up into his shoulders and he begins to climb the top rope. He tries to go for the Kingdom's Gate off the top rope…but Detrick gets out of UJJ's shoulders, before pushing him off the top rope and sending him falling to the mat. The Boyle Heights Badass takes a moment to steady himself, before diving off and crashing into Union Jack with a spectacular 630 Senton! Detrick goes for the pin, 1, 2, 3!
"Detrick Cyrus is going to the finals!" Armando exclaims.
"He will face off against Chris Blade later on tonight!" Punk says. "But now, let's move on because up next, Abby Torres will take on the ultra-dangerous Logan Storm for the SSW Goddess Championship!
XoXoXoX
The red-haired woman that has been secretly helping Ben Jones over the last few weeks heads into Jack Classic's office, which naturally causes Jack to become a little apprehensive.
"Who the hell are you?" Jack says.
"That isn't important. What is important is that a while ago, a woman by the name of Sara Lewis cast a spell on you by hitting you with her staff. I'm here to break that spell." The woman says, then throws a strange red powder into Jack's face!
"Argh! What the...?" Jack exclaims.
"She uses a staff, I use powder. Look - I need to get out of here before she figures out I'm helping you. If she comes here, asking for anything, act like you're under her spell." The woman says, then quickly leaves Jack's office.
"Yes, ma'am." Jack says sarcastically, then pours himself a drink. He sighs and looks at the glass, before drinking from it. "Yep - I'm definitely getting too old for this."

Call Me Maybe-Carly Rae Jepsen
The crowd cheers as the Mexican Angel, Abby Torres flies down from the rafters in a harness equipped with angel wings. She lands in the ring, and takes off the harness before posing for the fans.
"Abby Torres is definitely the underdog heading into this matchup, and she knows that, and she revels in that!" Armando says.
"The question here is: Can Abby Torres upset the nigh-unstoppable Logan Storm?" Punk ponders.
Next Big Thing (Remix)-Jim Johnston
The crowd boos as Logan Storm comes out, a cocky and sadistic smirk on her face as she is accompanied by Mercedes Madrid and Raelynn Lopez. Logan climbs inside the ring and posing with the Goddess Title.
"Here we have a woman who has definitely cemented her status as one of the most dangerous women in the WFA! She is incredibly powerful, is the leader of Reign, and has ran through the SSW Goddess Division!" Armando says.
"She is definitely the favorite here in this matchup, but I wouldn't advise underestimating Abby Torres." Punk says.
Ding! Ding!
Immediately, as soon as the bell starts, Abby begins to rush Logan Storm, taking the fight to her with a barrage of kicks, punches and elbows as she drives Logan into the corner. She climbs to the second rope, and begins to rain punches onto Logan's face!
"And here we have Abby bringing the fight to Logan Storm!" Armando says!
But that turns out to be a bad idea, as Logan grabs Abby, and slams to the mat with a devastating Spinning Sitout Spinebuster! Logan then picks Abby up, and slams her to the mat with a Military Press Powerslam! Logan covers, 1, 2,-Abby kicks out!
Logan tries to pick Abby up, but then out of nowhere, Abby recovers to nail Logan with the Angel's Kiss (Codebreaker)! The crowd cheers, Logan Storm falls to the mat, and Abby covers,-LOGAN KICKSOUT AT ONE!
"Logan Storm just tanked Abby Torres's strongest move and she still kicked out at one!" Armando says in shock.
Abby is in shock, but she goes to the top rope. She takes a moment to steady herself, before diving off with a Phoenix Splash….and Logan catches Abby with a devastating cutter! Abby is now out of it, as Logan picks her up, and slams her to the mat with the Storm Bomb! Logan goes for the cover, 1, 2, 3!
"And just like that, Logan Storm remains the most dominant female in the WFA-wait a sec, what the hell is she doing?" Punk yells, as Logan Storm still keeps beating down Abby Torres, before suddenly applying the Storm Hold!
"Oh my god, she's going to break her arm!" Punk exclaims.
"Someone stop her!" Armando says, as Logan keeps wrenching Abby's arm, but before she can snap the Mexican Angel's arm…..
Rainmaker-Yonosuke Kitamura
The crowd is confused at first, but then they suddenly let out a huge cheer as none other than JESSIE FARADAY runs down the ramp, a steel chair in hand!
"SHE'S BACK!" CM Punk yells, as Raelynn and Mercedes run up the ramp to try to stop Jessie Faraday, but the Gambler takes them out with a chair shot to both of their heads! Jessie runs to the ring and she slides in, but Logan Storms slides out of the ring, and grabs her title, before retreating up the ramp, the beaten Reign in tow. Meanwhile, Abby is helped up to her feet by Jessie, and both women stand tall.
"Jessie Faraday has returned!" Armando says.
"Indeed! Logan Storm better be careful!" Punk says. "But now, let's move on, because up next, the Classic Cup comes to an end, and the winner will go to the main event of Ring of Valhalla! It's Chris Blade vs Detrick Cyrus!"
XoXoXoX
FEEL THE BLADE!
Never Gonna Stop-Rob Zombie
Chris Blade comes out, a bit bruised from his matched with Paul Catapult, and he gets in the ring, climbs to the corner and poses for the crowd.
"The Hardcore Phenomenon defeated Cody Fireheart and Paul Catapult to make his way to the finals, and now, he must defeat the Lucha Warrior if he wants to take on the SSW Universal Champion at Ring of Valhalla!" Punk says.
Invincible-MGK
The crowd cheers as Detrick Cyrus drives a lowrider through the stage and down the ramp! Detrick makes the lowrider bounce up and down for a few seconds, before he climbs out of the car and makes his way to the ring. He slides inside the ring, and he climbs to the top turnbuckle before moonsaulting off it and doing a three-point landing.
"And here, we have the Lucha Warrior, the Brother from el Barrio, the Boyle Heights Badass, Mr. 915, Detrick Cyrus!" Armando says. "He's someone who definitely wants to win the Classic Cup, in the hopes of finally getting a one-on-one match up against the current SSW Universal Champion, Freddy Escobar!"
"That would be a matchup worthy of Valhalla!" Punk says, "And Detrick certainly has some history with our champion, he has a score to settle with the Prince."
Ding, Ding!
Detrick and Chris immediately begin to brawl, taking the fight to each other with stiff punches, elbows and forearms! Chris ducks a Roundhouse Kick by Detrick, and once Detrick turns around, Chris lays Detrick out with a stiff Lariat! Chris waits in the corner for Detrick to get up, and once he does, The Hardcore Phenomenon rushes forward, a Superkick in mind…only for Detrick to catch Chris Blade with the 915, laying him out!
Detrick then picks Chris up, and slams him to the mat face-first with a devastating Lifting Reverse STO! Chris rolls out of the ring, trying to regain his bearings, but that turns out to be a bad idea, as Detrick proceeds to run the ropes before crashing into Chris with a Suicide Somersault Plancha! Detrick gets up, and takes a moment to pose for the crowd before lifting Chris Blade up and sliding him back into the ring.
Detrick gets on the apron, and tries to leap on to Chris with a Slingshot Somersault Senton….but Chris Blade moves out of the way, as Detrick crashes back-first into the mat! Chris Blade quickly gets up and hits a Running Senton on the chest of Detrick Cyrus, and he gets up again to hit Detrick with a Double Foot Stomp. Chris then proceeds to lift Detrick up before hitting a wicked Pumphandle Neckbreaker! Chris goes for the cover, 1, two-Detrick manages to kickout! Chris now drags Detrick to the apron, where he picks him up…and drops him with an Isolation (Package Piledriver) onto the apron!
"Ouch! That has to hurt!" Punk says, as Chris rolls Detrick back into the ring, before climbing to the top rope and diving off with a DIving Double Foot Stomp…..only to crash into the mat once Detrick moves out of the way! Chris slowly begins to get to his feet, and Detrick simply kips up, before spinning around to deliver a stiff 915 to Chris Blade, knocking him to the mat once more, before rushing forward and nailing Chris with a Standing Shooting Star Press, and after that, he kips back up and delivers a Standing 450 Splash! Detrick now goes for the cover, 1, 2…Chris Blade manages to kickout!
Now, Detrick lifts Chris Blade back up, and drops him with a Vertical Suplex, before rolling over, standing up again and dropping Chris Blade once more with a Vertical Suplex, and then he repeats the process again to complete the Three Amigos! Detrick isn't done however, as he nails Chris Blade with the Dos Santos, before going to the apron and nailing him with a Spingboard Frog Splash! 1, 2, t-Chris kicks out!
Detrick now lifts Chris Blade into a Fireman's Carry, and goes for the DKO, but then Chris ducks the Roundhouse Kick, before blasting Detrick in the back of the head with a Superkick, before dropping him with a Backstabber! Chris then lifts Detrick up, before dropping him once more with a Snap Inverted DDT! Blade isn't done however, as he then goes to the apron, and then crashes into Detrick with a Springboard 450 Splash! Chris now finds himself going for the cover, 1, 2, t-Detrick still manages to kick out!
Chris then picks Detrick back up, and he lifts him into an Electric Chair position for the Blade of Hell, but The Lucha Warrior manages to counter with a Poisoned Frankensteiner, spiking Chris Blade's head into the ground! Now Detrick lifts Chris Blade up, and he drops him with a Spike Brainbuster! Detrick then follows that up by going for the Standing 450 Splash- but Chris moves out of the way. Chris waits for Detrick to get up once more before going for the Superkick, but Detrick then moves out of the way, and catches Chris Blade again with the 915! But Detrick's not finished there, as he waits for Chris Blade to get up before hitting the Hardcore Phenomenon with a Handspring Backflip Pele Kick! Now Detrick grabs Chris Blade, and he lifts him up to the top turnbuckle, and he climbs to the top, and finally, he lifts Chris Blade up….before dropping him with a BRAINBUSTER ON THE TOP TUNRBUCKLE!
"OH MY GOD!" Punk says.
"AY DIOS MIO!" Armando says, as Detrick lifts Chris up into a Fireman's Carry, and finishes by dropping Chris Blade into the DKO! Detrick covers, 1, 2, 3!
"He's done it!" CM Punk says, "Detrick Cyrus has officially won the Classic Cup and he is going to the main event of Ring of Valhalla against either Freddy Escobar and Ash Russo!" Detrick is presented with a golden trophy and he celebrates in front of a roaring crowd!
"Indeed, a great triumph by Detrick, but now, let's move on, as up next we have our main event, "The Anarchist" Ash Russo takes on the "The Prince" Freddy Escobar for the SSW Universal Championship!"
XoXoXoX
DEATH TO THE MONARCHY!
Until the World Goes Cold-Trivium
The crowd erupts into cheers, as Ash Russo comes out of Anarchy's special entranceway in the crowd, accompanied by Lacey Alvarez, Roman McIntrye, and Jasper Cage. Ash is carrying a flag that says, "Death to the Monarchy!" and he is waving it around. He goes to the ring and gets in and he keeps waving that flag to the delight of the crowd.
"This man is the first-ever SSW Universal Champion, and he is here to reclaim his throne!" Punk says.
"If anyone can take down the Prince once and for all, it's this man." Armando says.
POWER-Kanye West
The crowd suddenly begins to cheer as they see that money is falling out from the sky…..only for them to boo once they see that Freddy Escobar's face is on the dollar bill. Out of the stage, Freddy Escobar emerges, wearing a crown and a red cape along with his trademark scepter. The Monarchy accompanies him to the ring and he gets in, a cocky smirk on his face as he spreads his arms out and yells out, "BOW!"
"And here we have the current, reigning SSW Universal Champion, Freddy Escobar!" Armando says.
"Hopefully, not for long." Punk mutters.
Ding, Ding!"
As soon as the bell rings, both men immediately begin to brawl, and their respective factions begin brawling outside the ring!
"It's chaos outside the ring as the champion and challenger go at it!" Punk says.
Freddy gains the advantage and he lifts Ash into the Electric Chair, before he attempts to hit the Prince's Throne but Ash powers out and runs the ropes, taking down the Prince with Rebellion!
"Ash might have him here early!" Armando tells us.
"Goodnight, Escobar!" Punk cheers.
Ash picks the Prince up for the Phoenix-plex,
THE LIGHTS GO OUT!
Suddenly, we hear a creepy female voice singing...
"He's got the whole world...in his hands..."
"He's got the whole wide world...in his hands..."
The singing continues for a few seconds and when the lights come back on, and we see a mysterious woman in a black jacket in the ring, holding a kendo stick and a microphone! She flips off the hood...only for Ash to jump back in fright from a familiar face.
"IT'S NYX ROSEWOOD!" Punk screams.
Nyx smiles sadistically at him, before running the ropes, hitting Lacey Alvarez with a Somersault Plancha! Before the rest of Anarchy can even react, they are immediately assaulted by the rest of the New Shield! Monarchy all pull Freddy Escobar out of the ring and run backstage as Furno Moxley, Raptor Reigns, and Ajax brutally assault Ash, Roman, and Jasper with Barbie and two steel chairs!
"THE NEW SHIELD HAS INVADED SSW KINGDOM'S MAIN EVENT AND ARE NOW ATTACKING ANARCHY!" Armando screams.
Jasper Cage and Roman Mcintyre desperately attempt to fight back, but are easily overpowered by Reigns and Ajax's steel chairs. Eventually, both Anarchy members are hit with a Con-Chair-To! Ajax throws Jasper into the post before he connects with a vicious Curb Stomp onto the chair! Ajax then throws him to the barricade while Reigns levels Mcintyre with a Rock Bottom! Ajax tosses him to the barricade as well and the Samoan roars loudly before delivering a Spear, blasting Roman and Jasper through the barricade!
Nyx continues to assault Lacey with the kendo stick Alexa Bliss style. Lacey desperately goes for Last Breath, but the Mad Angel catches her foot! Nyx smashes the kendo stick on the shorter woman's leg and connecting with the Nemesis Blade (Sweet Chin Music)! She finishes with the Stygian Arrow (Falcon Arrow) onto the steel steps, damaging Lacey's back!
Furno Moxley swings as Ash Russo with Barbie, but Ash ducks the swing and once Moxley turns around, Ash hits him with a Pele Kick!
"Ash is fighting back!" Punk says, as Moxley falls to the ground, and Ash picks him, lifting him in position for the Phoenix-Plex, but the rest of the New Shield storm the ring, saving their leader and beating down Ash Russo! The Madman gets back up, and he forces the beaten Anarchist to look at him eye to eye by pulling his hair.
Moxley screams, "LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU, RUSSO! I'M ALREADY FUCKING SICK OF SEEING YOUR BITCH ASS FACE WORSHIPPED BY THESE IDIOTS LIKE SOME FUCKING GOD WHILE I BUSTED MY ASS OFF IN THE BACK! THIS IS JUSTICE FOR TAKING WHAT'S RIGHTFULLY MINE, FOR WHAT RIGHTFULLY BELONGS TO THE NEW SHIELD! I'VE DONE MORE IN MY CAREER THAN YOU EVER HAD! THAT UNIVERSAL TITLE AIN'T GOING BACK TO YOU, IT'S GOING TO ME AND THERE'S NOT A DAMN THING ANY OF YOU FUCKING VERMIN CAN DO TO STOP US!"
Ash suddenly spits into his former friend's face, only for the four Hounds of Vengeance to figuratively MURDER him with a series of punches, forearms, and stomps, and connecting with their finishers, Nyx with the Nemesis Blade, Raptor with the Rock Bottom, Ajax with the Curb Stomp, and Furno with the Conflagration (Headlock Driver) onto Barbie! The Hounds of Vengeance throw the beaten Anarchy leader out of the ring.
"WHAT ARE THEY DOING?!" Armando yells.
"What does it look like they're doing?!" Punk yells back at him right as Nyx glares at both commentators, screaming,
"MOVE, BITCHES! THIS IS OUR TABLE NOW!"
Hesitantly, both Punk and Armando step back as Furno and Nyx clear out the table while Raptor and Ajax beat down Ash even more with the same chair the Ghost Fox stomped Jasper Cage's face onto.
"NO MORE ANARCHY!" Raptor roars loudly, and as if trying to rip off Monarchy, Furno and Ajax hoist Ash onto his shoulders and all three men execute the Triple Powerbomb, with Nyx applying a Jumping Neckbreaker on the way down, sending the Anarchist through the table and damaging his neck!
"They've ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED Ash Russo!" Punk yells.
"Not only that, the New Shield have prevented history from happening! Ash was so close to becoming two time SSW Universal Champion!" Armando says.
The crowd goes NUCLEAR as the New Shield enter and pace around the ring amidst the destruction they've caused, soaking in all the boos.
"Ajax...I believe you want to tell these so called fans something." Furno says before he hands the mic to Ajax.
"Hehe, you know," he snorts. "it's so pathetic how easily you all forgot about us. You seriously thought we would be gone for good? No! All a suspension did was enlighten us. In fact, I don't even have to go by the name 'Ajax' anymore. My name...is AIDEN BLACK! Continue calling me 'Ajax' all you like, but you people already destroyed that side of me by abandoning him when he stood for you."
The crowd boos even louder. Ajax...or Aiden Black hands the microphone back to Furno, who glares at a camera facing him while managing a sadistic grin that reminded people of the Joker.
"To you people back in the locker room, whether you're champs or jobbers, this is but a little reminder to keep your guard up. No matter how far you run, how hard you fight, how well you hide, you can NEVER escape from justice." he snarls.
He points at the broken Anarchy members outside the ring.
"That's what it looks like, THAT IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE when you are brought to justice by the New Shield." he proclaims. "Jack Classic...your little anarchists are broken like glass...and it's all on you. This never would've happened, if you weren't a stupid old fool who lost his touch a long time ago. When you signed us, you made a deal and you tried to back out of it. You tried to screw with me, screw with the Devil, an act of cowardice and of foolishness."
Furno laughs as the man once known as Ajax takes the mic.
"This is just the beginning of a new era...a new era of VENGEANCE! The New Shield exists to continue the Shield's mission to bring justice to an unjust world. But...it's gonna be on our terms, our methods, our ways. Unlike your non believer heroes, we pull all the stops, we cross all the lines...IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE!"
Nyx suddenly takes the microphone. She looks deranged like she just got possessed.
"Peace through fear...Order through chaos...Justice through vengeance." she chants, laughing and giggling as she did. Furno takes the mic from her as her creepy giggling continued.
He says, "Now, in our absence, we've accomplished many things, UCW? Me, Raptor and Aiden? The best trio. ICW? Laid waste to the Nation of Violence, Traci Star, and Brutus Vicious, who actually taught us an interesting lesson on what we can do with the power of fear and bloodshed. And here in SSW United? Former tag champs, and I won a fucking INFERNO MATCH. So stop denying that I damn well deserve that Universal Title! And...in the immortal words of Roman Reigns: THIS...IS OUR YARD NOW."
"You better believe!" Aiden Black proclaims.
"BELIEVE IN THE NEW SHIELD!" Raptor Reigns roars. Nyx Rosewood takes the microphone.
"And if you're not down with that," she snarls, "WE GOT TWO WORDS FOR YOU!"
"SUCK IT!" the New Shield scream into the microphone before doing the "Suck it" taunt to the camera. They put their fists together and Furno raises Barbie up in victory as the crowd gave off nuclear heat.
"Dios mio. What is going on here?" Armando gasps.
"We need answers on how this happened." Punk says firmly.
The New Shield stands tall in the ring, Barbie raised, fists together, and sinister smirks on their faces, and then they point towards the TitanTron. Suddenly, the titantron turned static.
"Wait, what's going on?" Armando exclaimed.
"I-I don't know, I think we might be having technical difficult-" Punk said, but he was cut off.
And then, the entire SCENE turned static! The scene suddenly takes place in a regal-looking office. With flat-screen TVs all over the place. A swivel chair was turned to the camera, and someone was sitting on it. Lone clapping was heard, before the chair turned around, revealing EVAN NEAL of TDW. He had a smug look on his face, as he stopped clapping.
"Ahh, hello kiddies!" Evan greeted, in his usual polite yet creepy manner. "So glad to be here in Detroit, my favorite part of the Great Lakes region!"
Evan takes a moment to drink his wine, and then he continued.
"Imagine that. Me, "the Neal Deal," on SSW Television. Now isn't that something, "BROTHER!"" Evan laughed.
"I told Jack-O to watch his back. Because you never know when the King of Trolls is going to STRIKE!" Evan says, before laughing again. "Speaking of "king," you may hold a kingdom, Jackie, but I am the one who's going to take the crown! You see, there's an EMPIRE rising, and everyone in the WFA will learn to bow! Heh, when I get done with that, Freddy and the Monarchy are going to be EATING THEIR HEARTS OUT!" Evan exclaimed.
"Anyways, thank you ALL for watching this WFA event! Have a nice night…" Evan says grimly, "And remember, kiddies, "all hail Strong Style is the past… now we hail destruction… TOTAL DESTRUCTION!"
The scene turns an inky black color, as Evan's laughter is heard in the background.
XoXoXoX
We see Freddy Escobar and the rest of the Monarchy, all dressed in fine suits, and they are hurriedly rushing to the parking lot, where their limousine awaits them.
"Let's go, hurry up!" Freddy barks at his stablemates, while he carries his SSW Universal Title on his shoulder. They get to the parking lot, approaching their limo…..and they stop dead in their tracks.
Their limo is bruised and battered, with all of the windows broken, and it is covered in green paint. On the hood in orange graffiti, it says, "VIVA LA RAZA!" spray-painted in front of the limo, leaning on it as he brandishes a tire iron and a can of graffiti, is Detrick Cyrus.
The Monarchy menacingly approaches him, but The Lucha Warrior brandishes the tire iron, readying himself for a fight. The air is tense as both sides glare at each other, before Detrick smirks.
"See you at Ring of Valhalla, hermano." Detrick cheekily states, before climbing into his car, a black 1970's Dodge Charger, and speeding out of the parking lot as Freddy Escobar glares at him.Next Week:
Flynn Horde vs Frank Dynamite Rolston
Jessie Faraday and Abby Torres vs Mercedes Martinez and Raelynn Lopez
Brandon Duke and Anthony Dre vs The Wolves
