MGM Grand Garden Arena; Evan Empire Locker Room
Cody Fireheart, now dressed in his normal attire, is picking up his stuff, and putting it in his bag. He hears the door open, and he turns around to see an irate Jeff Rizzo.
"What the fuck is your problem, huh?" Jeff says, screaming at him. "You were supposed to help me win! That was the plan!"
"I never agreed to it." Cody says, keeping his voice calm and level. "You aren't my boss, Jeff. You can't tell me what to do, just because your lips are brown from kissing Evan's ass all day."
"I would be best if you apologized for that statement, Cody." Both men turn to see Evan Neal, glaring at Cody Fireheart. "You see, the plan was for either you or Jeff to leave with the Grand Championship, and for Furno to leave with the Ultraviolent Title, so that we can have some leverage over Jack Classic, Instead, Cody, you made it so that neither of you claimed that title. What do you have to say for yourself?"
Cody turns to Jeff, then back to Evan, ands let's out a butter, humorless laugh. "That I clearly made a mistake. This Empire is nothing but a joke." He says.
Evan Neal's eyes narrow as Cody says this. "I suggest you choose your next words carefully, Cody. You have a contract with TDW and with the Empire. I can easily use the termination clause on your contract."
"Go ahead. Fire me. Like I give a fuck. Hell, I'll do you one better." Cody says, as he grabs his bag, before turning to Evan. "I quit." He says, before leaving the room, as both Jeff and Evan are fuming.
"Yeah, you better fucking leave!" We don't need you!" Jeff says, as Evan looks at him curiously. Jeff turns him. "What's wrong?"
"Jeff, I'm gonna be honest with you. You have been in the Empire for a long time now. I have entrusted you to be my right-hand man, the Ace of my Empire, but I haven't seen any results yet. So, despite our friendship…...I have to do what is best for business." Evan says.
Jeff looks confused. "Wha-what are you saying?"
Evan puts his hand on his shoulder. "I wish you all the best…..on your future endeavors." Jeff looks shocked.
"Wait, what? Hold on-" Jeff says, but the door opens, as two security guards come out from behind.
"Please excuse yourself from this locker room. It is for EE members only. Now if you excuse me, I have business to attend to." Evan leaves, as the security guards wait for Jeff to finish picking up his stuff.

Showtime!
Lit Up-Buckcherry
The crowd begins to boo as Bryan Drake comes out, with Hannibal Stone in tow. Bryan walks down the ramp, taunting the crowd and boasting about his upcoming victory, dressed in his usual gear and entrance jacket, but in blue and black colors. Hannibal stays at ringside, as Bryan gets in the ring, before going to the top turnbuckle and spreading his arms out, posing and taunting the crowd
"And first off, we have 'Showtime' Bryan Drake! This man is in Ring of Valhalla, because he was tired of being overlooked. First, he was challenged by Seth Sullivan, but after Seth pulled out, he was then challenged by none other than Tate Williams! Now that the spotlight is finally on him, will he cave under the pressure, or will he thrive?" Chris Weapon says.
I Don't Wanna Stop-Ozzy Osbourne
The crowd gives a very loud reaction as the arena lights darken, before a single spotlight comes out, focusing on one Tate Williams, coming out, dressed in a purple and gold studded robe. Tate comes out, an arrogant smirk on his face as the 'Marvelous One' starts winding up, before hitting his 'Marvelous' pose, causing a shower of golden sparks to rain down above him. The crowd starts the "Marvelous" chants, as Tate struts the ramp, ignoring Hannibal at ringside, before getting in the ring, and heading straight for the turnbuckle, before posing again as he yells "Marvelous"!
"You talk about someone who has all the potential to become a future star for the WFA, you're talking about this guy, the man who was voted 2018's Rising Star of the Year, this man has it all. And right now, he is making his debut in the grandest stage in SSW United, and he is looking to make his mark in a Marvelous way!" Armando says, as both men stare down.
Ding, Ding!
The bell rings, as Bryan goes to hit the first punch, but Tate block it and hits Drake with a series of punches of his own, forcing Drake to stagger back, before knocking Bryan down with a haymaker! Bryan finds himself being lifted up by Tate, as Tate tries to lock in the full Nelson, but Bryan manages to elbow his way out if it before Tate can fully lock it in. Bryan runs the ropes, looking for Fast Cash (Lariat Takedown), but Tate catches him and slams him to the mat with a Spinning Spinebuster!
"And right out of the gate, Tate Williams is dominating! Bryan Drake needs to find a way to get back in this." Weapon analyzes
Bryan slides out of the ring, looking for some breathing room, but Tate Williams gets on apron and waits for Bryan to turn around. Once he does, Tate runs forward and leaps with a Running High Knee off of the Apron! Tate's knee connects with Bryan's face, as the crowd pops. Bryan falls to the mat, as Tate gets back up, posing for the crowd, as the crowd keeps up the Marvelous chants! Tate turns to see Hannibal Stone, staring at him threateningly.
"Tate should also be careful, as the X-factor in this match could be Bryan Drake's enforcer!" Armando says.
Tate ignores Hannibal and grabs Bryan and slides him into the ring. Tate gets into the ring and lifts Drake up, hooking his arms in a Double Underhook, but Bryan counters into a Back Body Drop. Tate gets back up, as Bryan surprises him with a Superkick! Bryan goes for the pin, 1, t- Tate kicks out! Bryan, exasperated, begins pounding the mat, waiting anxiously for Tate to get up in preparation for the Line Cutter. Once Tate finally gets up, Bryan goes for the Cutter, but Tate counters by hooking both of his arms, before dropping him with a Full-Nelson Slam! The crowd roars as Tate Williams goes to the corner, climbing to the middle turnbuckle and waiting for Bryan Drake to get up, and once he does, he leaps off with a Blockbuster! Tate goes for the pin….but no one is counting. Tate turns to see Hannibal Stone on the apron, and the referee trying to get him off of it. Tate goes to knock him off, but he is surprised, as Bryan Drake rolls him up with a Schoolboy! Stone leaps off of the apron, and the referee turns, as he starts the count. 1, 2,- Tate kicks out! Bryan Drake begins stomping on Tate, trying to keep "The Marvelous One" down. The referee grabs Bryan, trying to force him off of Tate, but Bryan instinctively responds to the ref's touch with a back elbow to the face, knocking him down. As soon as the ref is down, Hannibal Stone gets back on the apron and into the ring.
"Oh no, the ref is down! Tate might be in trouble here!" Armando says, as Hannibal picks up Tate, and holds him, up, as a cocky Bryan begins to tune up the band….. however-
Trophies-Drake
"It's Brandon Duke! The Alpha Male is running down the ramp!" Armando calls.
The crowd is stunned and confused, and clearly so are Bryan and Hannibal, as none other than Brandon Duke comes out, dressed in street clothes, and rushing down the ramp! Bryan orders Hannibal to intercept him, and the big man get out of the ring to take him out, but Brandon takes the giant off his feet with an explosive Double Leg Takedown! Brandon mounts Hannibal and begins to rain down punches on him, as an enraged Bryan yells at him. As Brandon is assaulting Hannibal on the outside, Bryan sees that Tate is beginning to recover. Looking to finish this, Bryan yells out, "It's over!", before running towards and bouncing off the ropes, looking for a Handspring Line Cutter…..but Tate catches him by surprise with a vicious forearm to the back of the head, sending Bryan flat on his face onto the mat! Enraged, Tate grabs Brandon, and sends him through the ropes and into the apron.
"What's Tate setting up for here?" Chris asks, as Tate sets up Bryan in a rope-hung position, and places Drake's head between his legs- before planting Bryan onto his dome with a devastating Marvelous Buster (Rope-Hung Slingshot Piledriver)! The crowd pops for that, as Bryan looks to be unconscious, and on the outside, Brandon picks up Hannibal, setting him up, before dropping Stone with a Saito Suplex on the floor! Meanwhile, as this is happening, Tate drags Bryan to the middle of the ring, before lifting the nearly unconscious man up, kicking him in the gut, and placing him in the Double Underhook. Before hitting the final blow, Tate takes a moment to drink in the atmosphere, before yelling one more time: "MARVELOUS!", and planting Drake face first into the mat with the N.M.E- the Naturally Marvelous Ending (Pedigree)! Tate goes for the cocky pin, flipping Drake on his back, and he puts his foot on Drake's chest, 1, 2, 3!
"And with the unlikely assistance of Brandon Duke, the self proclaimed 'Marvelous God of Wrestling' is victorious in his debut." Armando says, as Tate celebrates, while Brandon gets into the ring.
"Indeed, but I am curious-why would Brandon Duke help Tate Williams?" Weapon asks, as, all of a sudden…
Blue Collar Man by Styx
The crowd collectively GASPED as Evan Neal strolled down the ramp with a sly look on his face.
"What the- first Brandon, and now Evan?" Armando asked.
"What the FUCK is going on here?!" Weapon exclaimed.
Evan had his microphone attached to his cane as he began to talk.
"...Ladies and gents, a wind of change has blown within the Evan Empire…" Evan said, before walking up the stairs, as Tate and Brandon watched "the Neal Deal" enter the ring.
"Originally, I had planned to rule all of Strong Style with my empire, being fronted by a Starry Knight and a Dark Phoenix… yet unfortunately, both had to step down from their prominent positions due to… personal issues…" Evan talked, causing some people to cheer at the prospect of the Evan Empire falling early.
"BUT FEAR NOT! I have since UPGRADED my Empire! I have signed talents that makes the talents of Jeff and Cody completely obsolete! People, please welcome… the newest additions to the Evan Empire, two of the top rising stars in the WFA, and the men who will lead the Empire to a new age of glory… "MARVELOUS" TATE WILLIAMS and BRANDON. FREAKIN'. DUKE!" Evan announced, as Tate and Brandon smirk and pose arrogantly, and Evan glared into the camera.
"Jack Classic… you think I'm done for? Think again, you old sod. I'm way more resourceful than you think. This Empire will not stand down, we're going to continue to thrive until all of Strong Style is ours! And that's not a threat, nor a promise, or even a far-fetched prediction, that… is a spoiler, our names will be engraved in the history books as the group who've conquered ALL of wrestling, and we'll live forever!" Evan proclaimed proudly.
"Now then, have a nice night, kiddies…" Evan said, before dropping his cane mic and posing with the new Empire members.
"And now, the Empire is coming out of the gate revamped, and ready for war! And to any who may cross them, get ready, because this Empire may strike back!" Weapon says
"If Evan Neal can get more talented wrestlers on his side, he could take over SSW!" Armando says. "But up next, the most dominant women's champion in SSW history will face off against the woman that she took the title from. 'The Perfect Storm', Logan Storm will be taking on 'The Gambler', Jessie Faraday, next!"
XoXoXoX
Confident by Demi Lovato plays, and we start off with scenes of Jessie Faraday, holding the SSW Goddess title up high.
"Here's your winner, and the first-ever SSW Goddess Champion, JESSIE FARADAY!"
We see more scenes of Jessie with the title, defeating Alice Cook, Nyx Rosewood, Lacey Alvarez, and this culminates in her match with Traci Star, where she defeats her with a J Driver! We see the post match celebration, and her celebrating with her Reign stablemates, Raelynn Lopez and Mercedes Madrid.
"I was in top of the world." Jessie narrates. "With my friends at my side, and the championship around my waist, it seemed like nothing was gonna stop us."
We stay on the scene of Jessie celebrating after beating Traci Star, raising the title high-but static starts to appears, and the scene starts to get distorted…..and once the distortion settles and the static dissipates, we hear the intro to Next Big Thing (Remix), as we get a shot of Raelynn Lopez and Mercedes Madrid getting thrown out on the entrance ramp-followed by Logan Storm coming out for the first time, a cocky smirk on her face as she walks down the ramp, followed by Jessie's fearful look as she gets in the ring.
"'On top of the world', huh?" Logan says in a voice over, before we cut to a shot to her sitting in a chair, wearing her Goddess Championship on her shoulder. She lets out a dark chuckle, before saying, "Not anymore."
We see a sped up montage of Logan dominating every opponent in career before joining SSW, showcasing her power and her ruthlessness, as we see her hit all of her signature moves. We see her going up against a blond woman with red gear. On the outside, is a younger Jessie Faraday.
"Years ago, in the indie scene, I teamed with a woman named Taylor Stiles, and…..she was my best friend." Jessie reminisces. The match starts, and as soon as Taylor and Logan lock up, Logan starts throwing her around, dominating her, and punishing her. After two minutes, Logan sets her up and drops her with a Storm Bomb! Logan isn't done, however, as she locks in the Storm Hold on Taylor, forcing her to tap out. But Logan doesn't release the hold…...and with a quick jerk, she snaps her arm, as the screen goes to black. We get quick flashes of more devastation, of Logan powerbombing Taylor onto the apron, and Storm punching her face in, as Jessie watches, handcuffed to a rope, powerless to stop it
"You expect me to feel remorse?" We go back to Logan. "Grow up. This is what I am. This is what I do. I am the predator…..and I am surrounded with prey. " We fast-forward to the match between Jessie Faraday vs Logan Storm.
"Jessie, when the stakes were high, when it fell to you to avenge your best friend….you failed." Logan narrates as Logan dominates Jessie Faraday, and finishes her off with a Storm Bomb. She begins beating down Jessie Faraday after the match, and Raelynn Lopez and Mercedes Madrid come in….and proceed to join in the beatdown. "I took away everything from you. Your friends, your dignity, your title.….and your arm." This culminates in Logan locking in the Storm Hold, and in one swift motion, she breaks Jessie's arm, just like she did to Taylor. "And while you were licking your wounds, and picking up the pieces of your broken pride, I was dominating, destroying, and demolishing the entire fucking division! While you were at your lowest point, I was rising up the ranks!" We see another montage of Logan going through the woman's division, culminating in her defeat of Abby Torres, and as Logan Storm is beating her down, and Logan is putting her in the Storm Hold, we hear the sound of a coin dropping to the floor, cueing the return of Jessie Faraday, who rushes down the ramp, causing Logan and the rest of Reign to scatter. We Like It Loud by Sleeping With Sirens begins to play in the background.
"I was weak. I was powerless to stop you from retiring my best friend, and taking my title." Jessie Faraday says aggressively, glaring at the camera. "You have beaten me down, and taken everything away from me, but I'm still here. I'm still standing, because you didn't get the job done! And for a month, while I was licking my wounds, while my arm was healing, I have had time to think, to reflect on everything you have done to me. And make no mistake about it: I am angry, beyond pissed! And all that anger, all that rage? It's all coming out against you."
"Big words, coming from you, Faraday." Logan says. "Two months ago, you were scared shitless, you were paralyzed with fear at the sight of me. And right now, you're talking tough, you're putting on this front of anger and aggressiveness, but I know that that's all it is: a front. Because I've seen the real you, Jessie, the scared little girl who cried like a bitch when I ended her partner's career, when I broke her arm, and when I took all she ever cared about away from her. You may be fooling all these people, but you ain't fooling me, Jessie. And come ROV, when I single-handedly leave you lying in a puddle of piss, sweat and vomit, you will finally face the cold hard truth: that you aren't on my level. And you never will be." Logan says.
"Either I walk out of that arena with the SSW Women's Championship, or I don't walk out at all." Jessie says, staring at the camera, her eyes full of defiant spirit. "I know what I'm getting myself into. No one has ever gotten into the ring with Logan Storm and walked out of it the same person. And that includes me. But I can't look at myself in the mirror anymore. I can't live with myself if I don't do this!" She yells. "I lost everything because of you. But now, when I have nothing to lose, when I am up against the wall, that- that right there is when I am at my most dangerous!" Jessie take a moment to pause. "Everyone says that I will be lucky if I even survive this match with you, they say that all the odds are stacked against me...well, it may be a tough gamble, but if it means that I may regain my pride, my dignity, and my title as the Goddess Champion….I will gladly take that bet."
The music keeps going, as we see highlight of both women's matches, as we see Jessie hitting the J-Driver on Traci Star, while Logan is putting Abby Torres in the Storm Hold.
"I'm not just going to beat you….I'm going to end you." Logan says, as we get a silhouetted shot of her raising the title.
"I'm taking back my crown!" Jessie says, as we get a silhouetted shot of her posing. The music crescendos, and as it ends, we get our final shot: Jessie Faraday and Logan Storm at the ROV Press Conference, staring each other down.

Rainmaker: Next Level- Yonosuke Kitamura
The crowd cheers as an array of purple colored lasers begins to appear on the stage, and the pop becomes even louder, as Jessie Faraday comes out, wearing a purple and black Tanahashi-esque longcoat, walking out on the entrance stage. Jessie looks around at the crowd chanting her name, egging her on. She takes a deep breath, closing her eyes, before exhaling and opening them, a determined and ferocious glare forming on her face as she suddenly breaks out into a full speed run down the ramp, before sliding into the ring and running up the turnbuckle, posing with her arms spread out as the crowd cheers her on.
"Now, ladies and gentlemen, the Goddess Championship is on the line, and first off, we have the inaugural champion, Jessie Faraday!" Armando says. "Formerly, she reigned as the queen of the women's division, but she was overthrown by the current champion, Logan Storm! Logan decimated her, and we all thought that Jessie was done, but she came back, and now, she wants to take back everything she lost to Storm. Can the Gambler take back the place at the top of the women's division, or will she be lost in the Storm?"
We hear the sounds of thunder and lightning, the sound of a storm brewing and rumbling, before we segue into-
Next Big Thing (Remix)- Jim Johnston
The crowd begins to boo as Logan Storm, accompanied by Mercedes Martinez and Raelynn Lopez, walks onto the ramp. Logan, wearing her usual Edge-style longcoat and gear only in a black and gold color scheme, raises the title up high, cueing blue pyro to erupt from either side of her. Logan makes her way down the ramp along with the rest of Reign, her eyes not leaving the ring. "The Perfect Storm" jumps onto the apron, as her and Jessie lock eyes. Logan gets in between the ropes, and steps up to Jessie Faraday, raising the title once more as both women glare at each other and begin mouthing off. The ref has to split them up and order them to their corners.
"Jessie Faraday is spinning this narrative, that this is her redemption, her comeback tour to win her title back, but in order to do that, she has to beat the current champion, the most dominant female athlete in WFA history, Logan Storm. From what I understand, Logan has ordered her Reign stablemates to stay out of this match, because she believes she can defeat her all by herself, and honestly, I don't doubt that. " Chris Weapon says. "Logan Storm has defeated everyone she has faced, including Jessie Faraday herself! I gotta say it, Jessie does not stand a chance."
"This is it. Two women duking it out for pride, for gold and to settle a grudge. And it starts right now!" Armando says
Ding, Ding!
Immediately, as soon as the bell rings, Jessie rushes out of the corner and surprises Logan by blasting her with a Shotgun Dropkick, sending her back-first into the corner! Logan grabs the ropes, keeping her on her feet, but Jessie launches herself at her with a Running Corner Spear! Logan is stunned, but she remains on her feet, still holding on to the ropes, but Jessie continues her assault, climbing onto the second rope while Logan is still on the corner, and raining down stiff punch after stiff punch! The crowd is going wild, and they begin counting with every punch that connects! "1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6! 7! 8! 9!-" Logan finally shoves Jessie off of her, and Faraday lands on her feet. An enraged Logan quickly rushes forward for a lariat, but Faraday performs a Matrix Evasion to avoid it, and once Logan turns around, Faraday is back to a standing position, and before Logan can even react, Jessie hits a legsweep, sending Logan to her knees!
"An enraged Jessie Faraday starting off hot! I don't think we've seen anyone get this much offense on Logan!" Armando says, as Jessie goes to the middle rope, waits for a dazed Logan to get back to a standing position, before diving off, looking for a diving DDT- only to be caught with an explosive Lightning Strike (Spinning Heel Kick)! Jessie crashes down to the mat, as a pissed-off Logan stands above her, cracking her neck and her knuckles as she glares down at Jessie. Jessie tries to get up, but she is instead forced up, as Logan grabs her by the hair, and pulls her up, before grabbing her in a waist lock and throwing her to the mat with a devastating Overhead Belly to Belly suplex!
"And now, Logan is in control. From what we've seen so far from Logan Storm, this might be the end for Jessie Faraday!" Weapon says, as Jessie is struggling to get up. Logan begins to smile sadistically, looking like a shark that has just sensed the first drop of blood. Logan begins to brutally stomp on Jessie's head, as the crowd boos, and the referee begins to count to five, causing Logan to stop her assault on the prone Jessie Faraday. Logan laughs, as she grabs Jessie, before putting her head between her legs. "Here it is, she's gonna end it right now with a Storm Bomb!" Logan mimes slashing her throat with her thumb, calling for the end, before lifting her up for the Storm Bomb- and at that very moment, Jessie Faraday comes to life, desperately pummeling Logan's face with a series of punches, stunning the champion and allowing Jessie to sharply bend backwards and connect with a Frankensteiner, spiking her head in the mat! Logan is shocked and stunned, as is the rest of Reign at ringside!
"Jessie is coming back to life, and for quite possibly the first time since she has made her debut, Logan Storm looks vulnerable!" The crowd is exploding, cheering Jessie on as she gets back to her feet. Logan, regaining her senses, quickly gets back on her feet, and lets out a scream of rage, before sprinting forward to attack Faraday, only for Jessie to quickly back up into the ropes and pull them down, causing Logan to fall over the ropes and land on the outside area! Mercedes and Raelynn quickly go to her side, trying to help her up. Logan tells them not to interfere, but they are interrupted as Jessie runs the ropes, building up momentum before she let's loose and leaps over the top rope with a spectacular Tope con Hilo, crashing into the three members of Reign on the outside! Jessie gets back up, and grabs Logan Storm, forcing her to her feet, before sliding her into the ring! Jessie now climbs onto the apron, waiting for Logan Storm to get back onto her feet, and once she does, Jessie launches herself and grabs Logan by the head before connecting with a Slingshot Cutter! But her frenzy does not stop there, as she gets to the corner behind Storm, and waits for her to get to a kneeling position, before finally rushing forward and nailing her with a crushing Shining Wizard to the back of her head! The crowd yells at Jessie to go for the pin, and 'The Gambler' quickly obliges, rolling Logan over and going for the cover. The ref makes the count, 1, tw- Logan kicks out as the crowd is going absolutely ballistic! Jessie cannot believe it, but she quickly composes herself, and grabs Jessie, locking in a double underhook.
"Jessie looking for the J Driver, can this be enough?" Armando asks, as Jessie tries to lift her up, managing to get her of the ground for a moment, but Logan shifts her weight, forcing herself back on the ground before countering with a Back Body Drop, sending Jessie crashing back to the mat! Jessie gets up, but Logan is already there to meet her, as she connects with a stiff Discus Lariat that causes Jessie to flip backwards and on her face. But Logan isn't done there, as akin to an enraged beast, she quickly grabs Jessie, lifts her onto her shoulders, slamming her face first onto the second turnbuckle with a Lawn Dart! Logan does not stop, as Jessie slumps to a sitting position on the corner, putting her in the perfect position for Jessie to connect with a Running Facewash! Logan is clearly not done, as she begins to a savage attack on Jessie, stomping her face repeatedly! The referee starts the count, 1, 2, 3, 4- Logan stops, and walks away, yelling at the ref. The camera zooms into a stunned and nearly-unconscious Jessie Faraday's face, as we see that she is bleeding from her nose.
"Jessie looks like she can't even stand! Logan might just end this right now!" Chris states.
Logan stops arguing with the ref and goes to the corner, where she lifts up the dazed Jessie Faraday, and puts her in a double underhook, before planting her with the Storm Warning (Double Underhook Facebuster)! Logan goes for the cover, 1, 2, t-JESSIE KICKS OUT! Logan's contorts into a mixture of shock and rage, as she simply cannot believe that Jessie Faraday survived her assault. 'The Perfect Storm' picks up Jessie, and begins to drag her to the corner. Logan, her back to the corner, begins to climb to the top turnbuckle, seating herself there, but she grabs Jessie and forces her to climb up the turnbuckle. Logan punches her in the gut, and as she keels over, Logan places her head between her own legs, and she lifts her up.
"Wait, is she looking for a Storm Bomb off the top? This could be dangerous!" Armando says, as the crowd is humming and buzzing in anticipation as Logan raises Jessie up...but Jessie wakes up, and desperately punches her, but Logan still won't let go, forcing Jessie to jab Logan in both her eyes! Logan screams in pain, covering her eyes with her right hand while grabbing the rope with her left, preventing her from falling off as she releases Jessie, who manages to land on her feet. She sees Logan perched on the top turnbuckle, and she sees her chance, as she runs forward and leaps onto the top turnbuckle, in one swift motion grabbing Logan in a waistlock- before leaping off, and sending both herself and Logan to the mat with a Belly to Belly Moonsault Slam!
"Holy shit! Jessie Faraday has sent Logan Storm crashing down from the heavens!" Armando says, as the crowd is going absolutely ballistic, starting a "Holy shit!" chant! Both woman are laying on the mat, almost lifelessly, as both members of Reign are looking worried. After a while, both women try to get up, forcing themselves up to their feet. Glaring at each other, exhausted they both gather what energy they have left, and let out a scream before rushing forward. Jessie gets the first blows in, stunning Logan with a Discus Forearm, before hitting another series of punches and elbows, but the champion manages to shrug off the attack, before grabbing her and stunning her with a hard knee strike to the gut that leaves Jessie breathless, leaving her open for Logan to grab her arm, looking to lock in the Storm Hold- but the 'Dancing Assassin' resists, as she uses her free arm to punch at the sides of Logan Storm! Logan, clearly exhausted, let's go, as Jessie uses a quick Jumping Spinning Heel Kick to knock her down! Jessie waits for Logan to get up, and she rushes forward- only for Logan to counter with a Snap Scoop Powerslam! Logan, at this point very tired, grabs her in a double underhook, looking for another Storm Warning, but Jessie breaks free and dives through her legs, before pulling her down with a roll-up! 1, 2- Logan kicks out, Jessie scrambles to her feet, and as she sees Logan also beginning to stand, she runs to the ropes, and bounces off of them to catch Logan Storm with a Springboard Cutter! Logan Storm is down, but Jessie is not yet satisfied, as she grabs Logan by the hair, forces her up, kicks her in the gut, and locks in the double underhook! Jessie, mustering every ounce of strength she has left, tries to lift her up...and she succeeds, picking her up and dropping her with a J Driver! Logan lands hard to the mat, but Jessie is not yet finished, as she scrambles to the corner! She climbs up, as the crowd is egging her on. Once she reaches the top, she takes one look at the person who made her life hell for the past two months, takes a deep breath….before diving off with a beautiful Leap of Faith (Swanton Bomb)! It connects, and Jessie goes for the pin! 1, 2….3!
"She did it!" Armando yells. "The fallen queen has reclaimed her throne! After all that, Jessie Faraday has conquered her demons and become a 2-time Goddess Champion!" As he says this, Logan Storm is being helped to the back by Mercedes and Raelynn, and Jessie Faraday, still bleeding from her nose and in disbelief at what she did, is being presented the championship.
"I can't believe it.." Chris says, stunned. "Not only did she go to toe to toe with the most dominant female athlete in SSW history, but she actually defeated her!" In the ring, Jessie Faraday is crying in joy and shock as she takes the title in her hands. But she brushes the tears away and goes to the corner, climbing to the top and raising the title up high!
"Momentous victory for Jessie Faraday, our new 2-time Goddess Champion!" Armando says. "And up next, we have two men who are going to go to war. 'The Anarchist' Ash Russso. 'The Lunatic Punisher' Furno Moxley. Both these men will compete for the right to become the first ever SSW Ultraviolent Champion! All they have to do is test their resilience against each other in an I Quit match! Stay tuned, as that match is next!"
Two Hours before the start of the show:
We see a helicopter in the sky. We get several shots of the helicopter as it descends in a private airfield. The helicopter lands, as several men in suits surround the helicopter, with a limousine in front of it. One of them opens the helicopter doors, allowing Freddy Escobar to come out, dressed in a black suit with a dark red undershirt and red tinted sunglasses. He is carrying his Universal Championship on his shoulder.
"Sir, everything is ready! The rest of the Monarchy is at the arena already, so just let us take you there." One of the men says, as the Prince nods.
"Let's go. Time to show everyone why I'm the Prince." Freddy says, before getting into the limousine. The limo drives off, headed to the MGM Grand Arena.
