The show screen fades to the Battlefield, where the crowd was already hot! Multiple "I-C-W! I-C-W!" chants were heard as the cameras transitions to the announce table.
Jazz: Welcome back to the Battlefield & welcome back to ICW! Jazz Conway here as always alongside me is Jay Masters.
Jay:...So, Jazz….apparently you're famous.
Jazz: For…?
Jay: Y'know. You're "ass"ets?
Jazz:...Don't make me slap you.
Jay: What!? You know you agr-
Jazz: ANYWAY! We have a stacked card for you on this episode with not one, but TWO championship matches, Seth Mercer VS his mystery opponent of Matt's choosing, and we'll see the #1 Contender for the Heavyweight title Justin Danger-
Jay: Get ABSOLUTELY embarrassed when he face off against "The Astonishing One" & Monarchy's own DJ Kingston! But without further ado, let's get right into the action!
Breaking Through plays & the crowd starts to cheer! Out appears CJ Hawk with the International Championship around his waist! He raised his arms in the air and brought them down, yelling "BANG!"
The following contest is the WOTH International Open Challenge scheduled for one fall...and is for the ICW International Championship! Introducing first, from Chicago, Illinois, standing at 6'4" & weighing in at 224 lbs: he is the ICW International Champion: CJ HAWK!
Jazz: And kicking things off is certainly the heart & soul of ICW: The International Champion CJ Hawk! And BOY has he been on a roll, defeating both members of the KNA recently to retain the title, he appears to be unstoppable! And the fans LOVE him for that
Jay:...I'm still waiting for the moment he takes his first loss! I think it's going to happen tonight!
He enters the ring and did his signature pose again, to the delight of the fans. He handed the championship to the referee as the fans eagerly await CJ's next opponent. Bombtrack plays & everyone began to cheer as "R-Dub" ran out on stage!
"And his opponent, from New Orleans, Louisiana, standing 6'3" & weighing in at 245 lbs: RICK 'R-Dub' WASHINGTON!
Jay:...Okay, I take that back. I doubt somebody like Washington can even get passed CJ!
Jazz: Don't discredit Rick! He's been putting on amazing performances especially in the triple threat match against Dan Riley & Justin Danger! He may have what it takes to beat the WOTH Open Challenge!
Rick high fived some of the fans on his way to the ring. He slid onto the apron and waved to everyone! He entered the ring and stood on the top rope, posing to everyone! The ref raised the championship as CJ kept his focused & serious look!
The bell rings & both CJ & Rick circled each other before locking up! Rick, with the power advantage, tossed CJ all the way to the corner! The champion stands back up & dusts himself off before locking up again! This time, Washington pushes him into the corner and keeps the hold until the ref starts the 5 count. When he makes it to 4, Rick lets go & slowly backs off, allowing CJ some breathing room. CJ ran towards Rick, but instead of locking up again, he slid behind him and delivered a forearm to his spine! CJ ran the ropes and into a Shoulder Block, knocking him to the mat! Rick ran the ropes & leaped over CJ, who pops back up & leaped over Washington! The champion went for a Frankensteiner, but 'R-Dub' caught him and lifted him up for a Powerbomb! However, CJ countered the hold into a Canadian Destroyer for the cover!
1….KICKOUT!
Rick powers out of the cover! CJ picks him up, but Rick immediately lifted him up in the Gorilla Press before coming down with a Powerslam! Rick stood back up and lifted CJ clean off his feet! He went for a German Suplex, but CJ quickly rolled under & into a pin!
1….KICKOUT!
Rick powers out again, but CJ leaped onto his feet & ran the ropes & kicked Rick out of the ring! The champion looked at Rick & ran the ropes for a Tope Suicida! However, Rick caught him in midair and lifted him up! CJ knees him in the face which almost made Washington lose his , he had just enough to lift him back up plant him with the Vertical Suplex! Washington tossed CJ back into the ring and rolled in before grabbing him by his side & turning CJ into a Sitout Powerbomb and the cover!
1….2...KICKOUT!
CJ barely got his shoulders up, and Rick huffed. He stood up and lifted CJ up by his waist! He planted him with a German Suplex before transitioning to a Belly-to-Back Suplex and capped it off with a Exploder Suplex! Rick stood up and pounded on his chest before climbing to the top rope! He pointed to the air & went for the Nola Jam (top rope leg drop), but CJ rolled out of the way! Rick landed on his back side and stayed there as CJ stood up and hit the Penalty Kick to his back! Rick groaned in pain & slowly rolled over while CJ leaped up and hit a Double Foot Stomp to his spine once again! Washington rolled onto his back as the champion went to the apron and hit a Springboard Elbow Drop for the cover!
1….2...KICKOUT!
CJ stood up & lifted Rick onto his feet. He tried to lift him onto his shoulders for the Electric Chair Driver, but Rick slid behind him and hit a Rolling Back Elbow to the back of CJ's head, stunning him. 'R-Dub' soon followed up by lifting him back up, looking for the Spinning Sit Out Powerbomb again, but CJ counters in into a Frankensteiner! Rick rolled into the corner & CJ went for the Enziguri, but 'R-Dub' saw it coming and ducked it! Unfortunately for him, CJ's foot landed and came back the opposite way, connecting to his jaw! R-Dub stumbled & fell to the canvas as the champion climbed to the top rope! He looked down & executed Cloud 10 for the win!
1...2...3!
"Here's your winner…...and STILL ICW International Champion: CJ HAWK!"
Jazz: And CJ Hawk's winning ways continues to roll on!
Jay: What else is new? I feel like we've seen the same old from this guy…..
Jazz: Well the fans still love it and love CJ for it!
CJ slowly stood up and raised his title high in the air! Rick had a disappointing look on his face, but he & CJ shook hands in respect for each other! Washington headed to the back, leaving CJ to celebrate with the fans!
Jazz: Y'see? Even in defeat, these two still respect the heck out of each other & that match! That's what pro wrestling is all about!
Jay: Yeah yeah….that's all fine & dandy but-...hold on. Wait a minute. I've just received word that things are breaking down backstage!
The cameras quickly panned to Rick being beaten down by "The Man of a Million Moves" Dan Riley, who looked VERY heated! He picked up 'R-Dub' and tossed him into some equipment nearby! Riley dragged Rick back to his feet before murmuring to him.
Dan: You….I blame YOU for COSTING me MY main event SPOT at Immortality! Now, I'm gonna make you suffer!
Dan picked Rick up and planted him with the Uranage through one of the tables! He looked over his handy work & chuckled before walking away, leaving Rick groaning in pain.
Jazz: Wow...Dan is STILL sore from losing that match and is blaming Rick for it!
Jay: Now THIS is what pro wrestling is about! Taking out your frustration on someone who cost you everything!
Jazz: This is just a cowardly move through & through! Rest assure that Washington will get retribution against him!
The screen fades out and showed highlights of Day 2 of the WFA World Tag Team Tournament! It featured the Quarterfinals where Monarchy, The Freelancers, The New Shield, and Freund & Thunder advancing. The video soon hyped up Day 4: The Semifinals.
The cameras soon fade to the hallways, where the KNA sat, still visibly heated from a few weeks. They were soon approached by Derrick & Devin: The Wayne Bros.
Edward: Well lookie here, mate. We've got a couple of twin wankers!
Devin: Listen, what you two did was not cool. Attacking the referee just because things aren't going your ways won't accomplish anything. You two need to be taught a lesson..
The KNA stood up and got in their faces.
Edward: And you two think you're gonna do that?!
Derrick: If we have to….we won't have any problems doing so…
They stood face to face for some time before the KNA slowly backed off.
Edward: You kids just signed your death warrants…..watch your backs…..
The KNA soon left, leaving the Wayne Bros to sink in what was said to them. The cameras faded back into ringside.
Trifecta plays and lights began flashing all over the Battlefield. Out walked Kidd, who was on a hoverboard & Daniels, who was holding a water guns filled with beer and began to spray it all over.
"The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first at a total combined weight of 420 lbs: 'M.I.A's Daredevil' Jason Kidd & 'The South Beach Brawler' Ryan Daniels: TEAM PRTY!"
Jay:...Oh god not these two again
Jazz: The party has returned to the Battlefield!
Jay: Ugh. Who the heck let these guys back in!?
Jason stepped down from the hoverboard and ran around the ring, high fiving the fans while Ryan sprayed more beer over those sitting in the front. Both men rolled underneath the ring and stood on the second & third rope raising their arms as the fans cheered loudly. As they got down, Nation of Violence (by Dale Oliver) plays and a spotlight shined down onto Michael Chaos & Phil Vandal, who looked more angry than usual.
"And their opponents at a total combined weight of 510 lbs: Michael Chaos & 'The Savage Maniac' Phil Vandal: The NATION OF VIOLENCE!"
Jay: FINALLY! Here comes the party crashers!
Jazz: Oh no….not this again….
Jay: IT'S deja vu for those obnoxious guys! Because the Nation of Violence is looking to hurt them again!
The Nation marched down to the ring and entered it, standing in the middle of the ring, glaring at their familiar opponents. Team PRTY looked at them with nervous looks as Michael Chaos & Ryan Daniels started off for their teams.
The bell rings & immediately Chaos charges after Daniels, knocking him back into the corner! He blasts Jason with a vicious forearm, knocking him off the apron before stomping away at 'The South Beach Brawler!' On the outside, Kidd tried to get back on his feet, but Phil lifted him up and Powerbombed him onto the announce table with a loud thud. Even though the table didn't break, the impact was enough to cause substantial amount of damage! Back in the ring, Chaos tossed Daniels back to the middle of the ring and kicked him in the gut. He soon lifted him up for the Package Piledriver & planted him! But instead of going for the pin, Michael tags in his partner and stood at opposite ends of the ring. As they were going for the Bloody Sunday…..
SIERRA
HOTEL
INDIA
ECHO
LIMA
DELTA
THE "NEW" SHIELD
….Special Ops plays & the crowd goes WILD! Michael & Phil quickly look around the crowd and see Ajax and Raptor Reigns walking through the crowd! As the NOV looked out and motioned for The New Shield to come to the ring, Ryan shoved Phil out of the ring and hit a Small Package onto Chaos!
1….2….3!
"Here's your winners: TEAM PRTY!"
Jazz: THEY DID IT! TEAM PRTY BEAT THE NATION OF VIOLENCE!
Jayy: HEY WAIT! THEY WERE DISTRACTED!
Jazz: It's gonna be a party for Team PRTY tonight! But right now, IT'S GONNA BE A WAR AT THE BATTLEFIELD!
The crowd popped as Team PRTY quickly rolled out of the ring & up the ramp, celebrating the whole way! The NOV was shocked at first, but didn't have time to respond before they and Ajax & Raptor started to brawl! Both teams were brawling in & out of the ring until The New Shield knocked Vandal & Chaos over the barricade & into the crowd, disappearing from sight!
Jazz: The whole war between The New Shield and Brutus & The NOV is spiraling into utter madness! One has to wonder just how far these two trios will go to hurt one another!
Jay: The New Shield are just a bunch of Lunatics! But they're dealing with quite possibly THE most dominant and dangerous group of individuals in ICW!
The cameras soon transitioned to an empty arena, where "The Avenger" Will Ralston, who was still heavily taped, was sitting. He was holding something special to him: The Scottish Lion's mask!
Will: Y'know, very few often when I close my eyes, I still see that fateful moment. That moment when my brother perished in the ring doing what he loved most. I would be lying if I didn't say I fully recovered from that. I remember when our father, after being paralyzed in the ring as well, was in the hospital, he looked at my brother & I. But he had a weird look on his face, a look I wouldn't have thought he would have. The man had a smile on his face! He told my brother & I this: "Never live with regret. You'll live to regret it."
Will: At first, I had no clue whatsoever on what he meant by that! But my brother, he must've understood because he jumped straight into the ring and started doing the exact same thing our dad did. Even before that fateful match, we had nervous looks on our faces, he told us: "Never live with regret. You'll live to regret it."
Will: Then….he perished. It left a scar within my family that took a long time to heal. But that didn't stop me. No, it instead kept me fighting even harder & motivated me to be the very BEST in the world!
Will stood up and gently stepped over the barricade and limped around the ring. He slowly rolled in the ring and sat in the center, staring at the camera.
Will: Genocide…...you think that tossing me 30ft would remove me from good? You think it would end my career?! You think I won't sacrifice EVERYTHING just to save this business from guys like yourself?! You, Genocide, could NOT be more blinded from the truth.
Will:...I know there's a bunch of people who think I'm crazy stupid for taking you up on your offer at my current health. But I'm "The Avenger" dammit, and if I can't save this business from the likes of you, then I'm sure as hell going to avenge it! This is my only chance to end you once & for all, Genocide.
Will: At Immortality, I will make sure you will regret the day you crossed me…..your Genocide will be put down for good and I will be the last man standing. Not just for me, but for The Scottish Lions….
The image fades away with Will looking at the wrestling mask. It soon faded back to the Battlefield where the crowd was still hot!
Groundhogs Day plays & the crowd started to boo as Seth walked out. He had an uncaring expression as he dabs on his way to the ring.
The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Little Rock, Arkansas: standing 6'3" & weighing in at 210 lbs: SETH 'Sid' MERCER!
Jazz: Seth appears to be confident about this match despite not knowing who his opponent will be.
Jay: Why wouldn't he? Matt barely has any friends to even ask to compete! Whoever he does end up finding, Seth will just simply run through!
Seth climbed to the top rope & dabbed once again! He leaped down into the ring and paced back & forth while the crowd ponders who his opponent was chosen to be. Subconscious plays and the crowd went berserk for "The Strength that Looked like a Weakness." He walked on stage & bowed before spreading his arms wide.
"And his opponent, from New York City, New York, standing 5'10" & weighing in at 192 lbs: THE GAMBLER!
Jazz: WOW! What a pick Lopez made! And what a way to plug the Jr. Heavyweight Tournament by showcasing two of its competitors…..
Jay: This isn't fair! Seth should NOT have to risk is entire life because Matt forced him to face Gambler!
He walked straight to the ring and faced the crowd before bowing to them & spreading his arms. While everyone cheered, Seth looked less than impressed.
The bell rings and both guys starts to circle each other. The Gambler tries to lock up, but Mercer quickly ducks it and shoves Gambler from behind. When he turned around, Seth quickly slides out of the ring and backed off! The Gambler slid out and went after him, but Mercer quickly slid back in! As the Gambler rolled back in, Seth quickly stomped away at him over & over again! He leaned him against the ropes and kicked him in the gut, but that kick woke Gambler up! Seth slowly backed away and tried to run out of the ring, but had his leg grabbed & was pulled back into the ring! The Gambler delivered several open palm Jabs to his midsections, sending him to his knees! Seth shoves his opponent back a few feet and charged towards him. Gambler had it well scouted and delivered a stiff Roundhouse Kick to his waist, flipping him over & to the outside! The Gambler immediately ran the ropes and bounced onto the ropes, delivering a Springboard Crossbody onto the Seth! He tossed his opponent back into the ring and went for the pin!
1…..2 KICKOUT!
The Gambler lifted Seth up and delivered several stiff Forearms to the side of his face, knocking him for a loop! He tossed him to the ropes and hit a Spin Kick to the gut. 'Sid' fell to his knees and Gambler went for a Superkick, but Mercer ducked it and went for a quick roll-up!
1….2 KICKOUT!
Mercer quickly followed up with a Lariat which floors Gambler! He grabs him by the waist and deadlifts him into a Sitout Gutbuster Powerbomb! He stood up and dabbed which made the crowd boo. Seth lifted Gambler up by his waist and onto his feet before hitting a Rolling Elbow to the back of his head followed by a devastating Tiger Suplex! The Gambler rolled onto his knees and Seth ran towards him & connected with Matt's Shining Wizard into the pin!
1….2….KICKOUT!
'Sid' stood up and started to smile at the camera. He picks The Gambler up and howled into the Battlefield, mocking Matt Lopez, before going for Lopez's Gran Final and it hits! However, The Gambler quickly kicked up with his eyes closed and head down. Seth sat up and just stared at him in confusion. When Seth spun him around, he was unleashed to Gambler's Break Attack! He delivered several Palm Strikes, Forearms, Kicks to the Midsections, etc. The bombardments of attacks sent Seth to his knees and he continued to eat multiple kicks to his chest capping off with a Roundhouse Kick to the side of his head. The kick was so loud it was heard all throughout the Battlefield! Mercer collapsed as Gambler went for the pin!
1….2….KICKOUT!
The Gambler stood up and removed his elbow pads, calling for the Nerve Elbow. Seth, slowly stood up and, just as he was about to get hit by the elbow, quickly rolled out of the ring. The crowd booed as Seth looks towards the ring and shrugs it off, but he was grabbed from behind by Matt Lopez! "The Mexican Lone Wolf" threw him back into the ring as Seth just glares at him! Matt simply pointed behind him and walked away. When Mercer turned around, he walked right into a Nerve Elbow from The Gambler which FLOORED him! He then went for the cover!
1….2….3!
"Here's your winner: THE GAMBLER!"
Jay: You can go ahead and chalk the assist up to Matt Lopez while you're at it! He distracted Seth by showing up where he doesn't belong!
Jazz: Seth was going to lose anyway! Matt just helped him not run away from a match again!
Jay: He was protecting his health for Matt! The Gambler may have caused serious damage to him!
The Gambler had his hand raised & celebrated with everyone while Seth was left dazed in the ring. Matt chuckled to himself before walking to the back. However, while The Gambler was celebrating, Ray Cobra rolled in from outta nowhere & beat him down! The crowd booed as the masked rock star continue to beat him over & over before picking him over his shoulders & planting him with the Cobra Cutter! Ray looked at his handy work & smiled, obviously pleased with himself.
Jay: Good for Ray! Not only is he protecting his friend Seth, but he's putting that Gambler in his rightful place!
Jazz: OR he could still be bitter about his swift defeat some time ago and wants take the coward's route and attack from behind
Jay: Either way, the Gambler just learned the lesson of respect at the hands of Ray Cobra!
A wall of pyro went off and We Will Rock You started to play, followed by the arrival of the Heavyweight Champion Freddy and Monarchy's Caesar, Dylan, DJ, and a obviously heated Natalia. The crowd greeted them as they normally would: with a chorus of boos!
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, being accompanied by Monarchy, from Honolulu, Hawaii, standing 5'11 & weighing in at 205 lbs: 'The Astonishing One' DJ KINGSTON!"
Jazz: So...Monarchy doesn't look to be in the best of moods...
Jay: Why would they!? Not only did Dylan lose to Justin Danger of all people, but the Firey Natalia Rodriguez had the #1 Contender's slot STOLEN from her when Katie showed up and sprayed that DISGUSTING blue mist into her face & Drop Kicked her into her boyfriend DJ Kingston! Now, instead of being fully recovered, Kingston has to face Justin Danger!
Jazz: He is called the Astonishing One, right? Let's see how astonishing he really is right now!
DJ was wearing his ring gear while everyone else was wearing their tailored tuxes & Natalia was wearing a red elegant dress. Monarchy all entered the ring and stood in the center, facing the audience, who continued to boo them. Natalia & Freddy had microphones in their hands.
Freddy: Ladies & gentleman…..BOW before your Heavyweight Champion & the rulers of ICW and give your undivided attention to the Princess of the WFA: 'La Chica Fuega' NATALIA RODRIGUEZ!
Monarchy applauded as the fans booed even louder. "You sold out!" chants began to ring all throughout the Battlefield, which did not faze Nattie at all.
Natalia: You guys are never going to let this go, huh? Typical….You people all still expect me to bend backwards and try to please you drunken low-lives and give you all something to fantasize! Es mejor que apreciar esas fantasías porque esos días de mí son más!
The crowd began to boo while DJ placed an arm around her. While Natalia did enjoy DJ's company, there was the one thing Natalia needs to address.
Natalia: With that out of the way….I have something to say to one Katie Striker.
The crowd popped when she said her name.
Natalia: Katie, last episode, you cost me MY chance at glory! At Monarchy's glory! You cost me MY championship opportunity when you spit that GAWD awful mist into my face, not to mention kicking ME into my boyfriend!
The crowd cheered when she mentioned what happened to herself & DJ, which got her more heated.
Natalia: Y'see, Katie, when it comes to Monarchy, we have a golden rule: "If ANYONE" gets in the way of our glory, dispose of them!" And what you have done WILL have repercussions! I guarantee it!
Before Freddy could say his part, the large screen soon became opaque! A few seconds later, the screen cuts to Katie Striker, wearing her mask! The crowd popped when she removed it and started speaking.
Katie: Natalia….you hurt me. The moment you stabbed me in the back and sided with those four, you gave up your soul. Now look at you. You're no different than the rest of Monarchy. Hell, you're quite possibly the worst one of them all! And for that, I had to give you a "taste" of what happens when you take my friendship and break it into pieces! Here's a hint: I break you!
The cameras zoomed out to reveal herself underneath a bridge in New York. Out in the distance stood Madison Square Garden.
Katie: So I propose we settle this in the ring. But not just any ring: a ring in the center of Immortality! You'll get your wish, Natalia, of finally getting that fame you long desired. But not because you will be victorious, oh no. But because I will put out your flame and sent you deep into your own despair! See you at Immortality…...old friend.
Jazz: The challenge was just thrown down! Katie and Natalia are gonna fight it out at Immortality!
Jay: Good! She can get her revenge against Striker and make her bow at her feet!
The screen cut off, leaving the fans cheering for that match made! On the other hand, Monarchy didn't have time to let it sink in because immediately afterwards, Kill Everyone plays & out walks #1 Contender!
"And his opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada, standing in at 6'6" & weighing in at 245 lbs: 'The God of Chaos' JUSTIN DANGER!"
Jazz: Also, in the main event of Immortality, Freddy has to defend the ICW Heavyweight title against this man, "The Demon Wolf" Justin Danger!
Jay: Don't fret, DJ Kingston will run circles around her and make sure that he will soften him up for Escobar to finish off and embarrassed at Immortality
Justin looked at the tron & back in the ring. He tried to keep himself from laughing as he spoke to them the people in the ring as well.
Justin: Wow, Natalia, Katie is going to KILL you!
The crowd cheered loudly and started singing "Katie's gonna kill you! Katie's gonna kill you!" at Natalia, who was throwing a mini fit. DJ covered her ears, but Justin caught his & Freddy's attention.
Justin: Hey Kingston! I wouldn't worry so much about your little girl toy right now because you're stepping in the ring with ME this time! And I need your help showing Natalia what Striker's gonna do to her AND what I'M going to Freddy at Immortality! Spoiler alert, DJ: you'll end up in A LOT of pain!
Justin dropped his mic and steps into the ring with Monarchy! They all try to charge after him, but Escobar kept everyone away and out of the ring, except for DJ. The bell rings and DJ immediately charges at him with a Flying Dropkick, knocking him over! He went for another one, but Justin caught him in midair and swung him across the ring! DJ grabbed his back and leaned against the corner Justin walked over and delivered a stiff chop to DJ! He tossed him back to the corner, collapsing him! He smiled & waived at Freddy before picking Kingston back up. However, "The Astonishing One" leaped up and hit a Pele Kick, stunning him! He ran over to him and "The God of Chaos" tossed Kingston over the top rope! DJ landed safely onto the apron and kicked Justin in the back of the head! He leaps onto the top rope and went for a Hurricanrana, but Justin caught him onto his shoulders! Danger lifted DJ high in the air, but Kingston countered into a Spike DDT! "The Astonishing One" soon ran the ropes and hit a Springboard Moonsault into the Lateral Press!
1….2 KICKOUT!
Monarchy cheered DJ on while Kingston slowly stomped away at Justin. He lifted him onto his knees and hit a leg strike to the chest! That woke Justin up as he looks at DJ, who gave off another Leg Strike. He went for a third one, but "The Demon Wolf" grabbed it and stood up. DJ appears to beg for mercy, but attempted a Roundhouse! Justin ducks the kick, but ate the Reverse Roundhouse, knocking him to the ropes! DJ charged towards him again, but Justin tossed him onto the apron as well! This time, Danger hit a Rolling Elbow, knocking DJ to the outside! Justin slid to the side of the ring and went for a Big Boot, but DJ rolled out of the way and shoved him into the steel steps! DJ slid into the ring and ran the ropes before leaping over and onto Justin! Monarchy cheered him on as he rolled into the ring and went for another pin!
1...2...KICKOUT!
DJ looked down at Justin and climbed to the top rope. He went for a Spiral Trap, but Justin rolled out of the way! As Kingston got back up Justin leaped off the second rope, over DJ, and into the Stunner! He picked Kingston up onto his shoulders and went for a Running Powerslam! "The Astonishing One" leaped off of his shoulders & went for a Pele. Justin dodged it and ran the ropes, hitting a Big Boot which knocked him over! When DJ rolled over, Justin ran and hit the Danger Stomp (Curb Stomp) for the pin!
1….2...KICKOUT!
Justin waited for DJ to get back up, until Natalia ran onto the apron! She distracted the referee while Dylan rolled into the ring and attacked Justin! He stomped away at him over & over before picking him up! DJ climbed onto the top rope and they went for the Guillotine, but Justin it a Hurricanrana onto Dylan, knocking him into Natalia! Dylan looked on in shock as Justin kicked him out of the ring! DJ ran behind him and hit Slice Bread #2 off the ropes! DJ leaped onto the ring apron and went for the Astonishing Forearm! When he leaped onto the ropes, Justin went for the J.I.D, but crashed down because DJ stayed up there! "The Astonishing One" started to laugh and went for Hang Time (Diving Somersault Leg Drop) instead, but "The Demon Wolf" rolled out of the way! DJ crashed on his backside & stayed there until Justin hooked his arms and lifted him back-to-back, hitting the Danger Bomb and going for the pin!
1...2...3!
"Here's your winner: JUSTIN DANGER!"
Jazz: And "The God of Chaos" defeats another member of Monarchy on his way to Immortality, despite the interference from Natalia & Dylan! There's a common theme this episode…..
Jay:...Danger just got lucky. It won't last long.
Jazz: I think the stroke of victories are more than luck, Jay. Maybe, just a thought, but Justin actually has the skills needed to defeat Escobar and become the Heavyweight Champion!
The crowd were on their feet as Justin rose up and stood over a fallen DJ! Justin didn't have time to celebrate because King Caesar slid into the ring and bulldozed through Justin! He picked him up and planted him with the Lion Bomb! Monarchy all entered the ring and Freddy raised his championship over his future opponent. Caesar looked down at Justin and simply say he's gonna fall to the King next time.
Jay: Y'see, Jazz? THAT's why his luck about to run out! He's going to fall to "Brooklyn's Finest" and won't even MAKE it to Immortality!
Jazz:...Oh dear. Justin may have a difficult challenge in King Caesar, but it's nothing that he cannot get through en route to Escobar!
The cameras soon cuts black and The Dark Family soon walked towards the camera, revealing the four of them. Static continued to twitch while the other three spoke.
Surrealist: Eric...I told you in the past that this was nothing personal. Unfortunately, your emotions blind you, and have sentenced you to death at Immortality!
PK: Team Brutal….I must admit: you have done well for yourselves. You have turned from worthless sheep into warriors facing all challenges! Unfortunately, this is a challenge you are destined to lose…..do not be discouraged, however. You will serve a higher purpose: You two and the ICW Tag Team Championships will be sacrificed & offered up to "The Destroyer…"
Ryan: "The Destroyer" is coming…..and he is going to destroy all of ICW!
The camera fades with PK giving a sly, sinister smirk. Surrealist & Ryan having serious expressions on their faces, & Static laughing into the background. Soon the laughter stopped & the cameras faded back into the Battlefield.
Truth Beneath the Rose plays & the crowd began to boo. The lights went out and the usual blue smoke filled the arena. Traci soon rose from the smoke and began laughing.
Jay: For as long as we've been on-air, Traci STILL gives me nightmares….
Jazz: She's evoking her rematch clause here for the title she lost. Yet despite that, she still remains unpinned & unsubmitted since arriving here!
Traci slowly walked to the ring, laughing along the way. She slid underneath the bottom rope & crawled to the center before waiting patiently. Free the Flame plays and the crowd loudly cheered as the lights turned a crimson red. Out walked Brianna with the ICW Women's Championship around her waist.
Jazz: Now here comes the champ! Many people wrote her off as unable to come out with the title at Crossroads! But she defied the odds & walked out with the gold!
Jay: It's one thing to win it in a fluke. But now she has to go against an undefeated mania who is obsessed with getting her title back!
Brianna walked up the steps. She watched Traci, who had a small, yet disturbing smile on her face, before climbing to the top rope and yelping into the air. She hooped down and stared at Traci, who was standing patiently in the corner, still smiling creepily as the spotlight appears over the ring.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall….and is for the ICW Women's Championship! Introducing first, from Mexico City, Mexico: 'The Shining Star' TRACI STAR!
Traci stood there, chuckling to herself while staring at the championship.
"And his opponent, from Venice Beach, California & residing in Honolulu, Hawaii, she is the ICW Women's Champion: 'The Iconic Princess' BRIANNA KELLY!"
Brianna yelled in the arena and raised the Women's title. The lights came back on and both women stared at each other. The bell rings & they slowly circle the canvas, studying their opponents.
The bell rings as the two lock up. Traci immediately twisted her arm, but the champion lifted her off her feet before tossing her across the ring! Traci stood against the corner as Kelly went for the corner clothesline. This time, however, Star ducked it and delivered several kicks to her opponent's chest! On one of the kicks, however, Brianna grabbed her leg and lifted her up into a Running Powerbomb! She ran the ropes and went for a Leg Drop, but Traci rolled out of the way! As Kelly crashed down, "The Shining Star" hit a Snap Neckbreaker! Traci looked at her and laughed while grabbing her by the head. Traci lifted her up and slammed her head first to the canvas over & over, really taking her time. She lifted her back up, but Brianna lifted her onto her shoulders and hit the Green Bay Plunge! She leaped onto the turnbuckle and hit a Moonsault for the cover!
1….2 KICKOUT!
As "The Iconic Princess" picked Star up, Traci hit a pop-up Enziguri! Brianna stumbled to the ropes and the challenger got on the offense with some Stiff kicks before tossing her opponent out of the ring! Traci ran the ropes and leaped over the top rope onto Brianna, but did not stop there! She followed up by tossing the champion into the barricade with extreme force! She grabbed Brianna's head and caressed it before slamming it against the ring post before tossing her back in the ring. Star climbs to the top rope and hit a Phoenix Splash with the cover!
1….2...KICKOUT!
Traci wrapped her legs around Brianna and applied the Lotus Lock submission. Brianna managed to get her foot on the ropes, but Traci kept in the hold for four extra seconds until releasing. Brianna rolled out onto the apron to catch her breath, but "The Shining Star" hit a Springboard Dropkick, knocking her back to the floor. Traci rolled out of the ring and lifted Brianna back to her feet. This time, "The Iconic Princess" shoved her into the apron itself! Traci favored her back while Brianna lifted her up by her back and slammed her into the apron once again! Kelly pushes her back into the ring. She climbed up and hit a Senton Atomico followed by the cover!
1….2...KICKOUT!
Brianna picked up her opponent and went for a German Suplex; however, Traci landed on her feet and hit a Spinning Kick to Kelly's gut! She ran the ropes, and Kelly connected with the Flapjack! She grabs her by the waist again and this time connects with the German Suplex! She lifts her back up and hits the Reverse STO! The champion went to the top rope and waited for Traci to get back to her feet, and when she does, Brianna hits her with a Flying Dropkick, sending Traci across the ring! Brianna walked over and delivered multiple Corner Clotheslines again & again before tossing her to the opposite side. However, Traci counters it and hits a Hurricanrana! When Brianna got back up, "The Shining Star" hits a Swinging Neckbreaker! Brianna grabbed her head while Traci laid down & laughed out loud to the whole world! She picks her up by her legs and hits the Reverse Neckbreaker before going for the pin!
1….2….KICKOUT!
Traci scooted back into the corner and watched as Brianna was dazed! She lifted her up and kicked her in the arm several times! Brianna did shove her away, but Traci came back with an Enziguri, sending the champion onto one knee! "The Shining Star" took the chance & locked in the Cross Arm Breaker! The crowd was chanting "Don't tap out!" while Brianna was screeching in pain! Soon, "The Iconic Princess" managed to roll over & lift Traci high in the air and brought back down with a Sitout Powerbomb, breaking the hold! Brianna tried to shrug off the pain in her arm while waiting for Traci to stand back up. When she did, Kelly grabbed her throat and was about to go for the Chokeslam, but Traci leaped behind her and hit a Backstabber! She smiled at her handy work before going to the ring apron and calling for the Springboard 450 Splash! However, just as Star was about to take off, the sound of a guitar was heard!
Jazz: What the…..
Jay: Who's playing that loud ruckus!? We're trying to have a match here!
Traci and the crowd was looking around, trying to find the source of the music, when Nyx Rosewood appeared from the stage! The crowd popped while Traci looked on in anger. Nyx paid her no mind and continued to play her guitar while walking down the ramp! Traci was about to confront her when Brianna grabbed her opponent from behind and tossed her back into the ring! The champion quickly went onto the apron & leaped to the top rope from behind, hitting the Asai Moonsault, before lifting her up from behind and hitting the Scorpion Death Drop for the win!
1….2….3!
"Here's your winner…..and STILL ICW Women's Champion: BRIANNA KELLY!"
Jazz: OH MY GOD! TRACI LOST! BRIANNA KELLY JUST HANDED TRACI HER FIRST DEFEAT IN ICW!
Jay: NO! Brianna AND NYX beat Traci! If it wasn't for Rosewood and her STUPID guitar, we would've had a new champion!
The crowd was on their feet and Brianna looked on in shocked, and started to celebrate! Nyx smiled as Traci rolled out of the ring and onto the floor, leaving Brianna in the ring to raise her title high in the air. Traci immediately sat up and turned towards Nyx with murder in her eyes. She ran towards Nyx & the two ladies brawled as well! Those two knocked each over the barricade and brawled throughout the crowd straight to the back. Meanwhile, just as Brianna was about to leave, Do It Now, Remember It Later played & "The Heartbreak Chick" Carson Michaels walked out, applauding.
Jazz: And here walks out the #1 Contender for the Women's championship!
Jay: Oh god, what now!?
Jazz: Don't worry….she's just getting a look at her opponent for Immortality! The match is now set: "The Heartbreak Chick" Carson Michaels & "The Iconic Princess" Brianna Kelly will go one-on-one for the ICW Women's Championship!
