United Supreme Pro Wrestling: Friday Night CageZone Episode 1 Part 3
Venue: State Farm Arena
Date: February 21st, 2020
State/City: Atlanta, Georgia
(The whole crowd is being shown as the camera zooms out catching the fans in attendance and their signs they are holding up as "Another Way Out" plays over the PA system with the cameras zooming back in on the two main commentators.)
"What an event we have witnessed tonight with so much carnage going on inside that cage and imagine what we are gonna see Monday on Firestorm. The semi-finals of our tournament to crown the first world champion in USPW will hold "Freshly Squeezed" Orange Cassidy taking on Cody Fireheart and Dalton Castle takes on the highly anticipated signing of Jason David Frank. Jason was suppose to face King Randy, but some other things happened with King Randy so he had to forfeit his spot in the tournament." Russ explained.
"However, Jason sent him running like the coward he is. You know it's just that, Randy is scared to face a mixed martial arts fighter in their natural element." Greg added.
"Jason is itching to get inside the ring so we will see how he fares this upcoming week, but we also have our first #1 Contender's Match to see who is facing Ivan Salkov for the United States Championship. We have 20 men inside the squared circle and they will compete in an over-the-top rope battle royal where the winner gets a title shot at our Rush Hour pay-per-view." Russ explained.
"We also are gonna hear from Preston on his actions from last week. Why did he attack Jonathan and William? Why did he turn on men he considered brothers? What is it that he claims he lost?" Greg asked with all these questions on his mind.
(We cut to backstage where Martin Rolli is backstage as the crowd boo and he looks to be looking for someone. Mason Yates is hidden behind some crates with the Hardcore Championship wrapped around his waist as he seems to not want to be found.)
"I saw this idiot at the bar. Where is he?" Martin asked in his thick Italian accent.
(Mason starts sneaking away until he sees Jordan Oliver from earlier as the maniac starts looking both ways for an escape. Jordan sees him and starts running for him.)
"That's my belt you're running around with, asshole!" Jordan called as he ran for Mason.
(Martin sees Mason as well and goes to confront him, but Mason tackles Jordan as they start their flurry of punches and Mason gets a gut punch, but he gets a kick in the back from Martin as the lunatic rolls off his adversary. Martin punches Mason in the head three times taking off his leather jacket and whipping the maniac with it.)
"You messed with the wrong familia and now you are gonna get it to the breadsticks." Martin threatened.
(Jordan gets up and pushes Martin out of the way as they commence to arguing about who should become champion. Corey Allison storms down the hall seeing all three men as he carried a kendo stick with him as he whacked Jordan on the back with it and then to Martin to the ribs as both men went to the ground. Corey whacked his stick across their backs and Mason tried escaping, but got tackled by Corey to the ground.)
"You escaped twice now and that's one too many, fella. I'm taking this belt right here and now." Corey stated.
"No! No! My title!" Mason exclaimed as he elbowed Corey in the gut.
(Mason follows up with an uppercut and backs up looking for the Clinical Lockdown (Brogue Kick), but Corey catches his foot and pulls Mason forward into the Truck Stop. Corey hooks both legs as a referee showed up.)
"1…2…3!" The ref counted as Corey grabbed the Hardcore Championship and raised it high in the air.
(Corey raises the title and started running off winning his second Hardcore title as Jordan and Martin were rolling around in pain from the kendo stick while Mason threw a tantrum at how he lost again.)
"The Hardcore Championship just provides endless entertainment and it's really unpredictable of the superstars that could win it." Greg stated.
"Speaking of unpredictability, what's going to become of Jonathan if he's not medically cleared to compete inside the cage? A nasty face plant from that Cross Rhodes earlier really put Jonathan in the intensive care unit as he went down hard." Russ stated.
"We are getting that Jonathan did suffer a little cut from the altercation and is at a nearby hospital getting checked on so it seems William will have to go in alone on this. He's a big man so he could probably deal with the handicap." Greg stated.
"The following contest is a 2-on-1 Handicap Match for the USPW Global Tag Team Championship and it is to be held inside a steel cage." Richard announced from his place ringside as the referees started making sure everything was alright with the cage.

(The crowd started booing as Tanner Swagger and Ryan Fawles came out with their mocking attitudes as they had a couple Bud Light beers on hand clanking them together and chugging down the liquid. Tanner has dirty blonde hair wearing a pair of sunglasses, a backwards Dallas Mavericks hat, a black leather jacket with the word "L.A. Baby!" in red print, black trunks with 'Swagger' in red on the back of them, and red boots. Ryan is a lot shorter with black hair wearing the same jacket as Tanner and red trunks that have 'Fawles' on the back in black print. He also had white boots as they headed down the ramp.)
"Introducing first, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at a total combined weight of 478 lbs. Tanner Swagger and Ryan Fawles, The Swagger Boys!" Richard announced.
"These men have no shame in their cocky demeanors and they sure know how to score gold on their road in the indies. They have defeated the Young Bucks not once, but twice in their encounters." Greg explained.
"Tanner and Ryan know how to get their way even if the odds won't be in their favor. They are known for using weapons and even work their magic with authority to get some favors going their direction, but sometimes they end up breaking the wrong end of the stick." Russ added.
(Tanner and Ryan shouted down the crowd as they motioned for the beautiful titles to come around their waist as they started heading for the cage door. The titles were displayed on a pedestal as the standard gold plates on black leather were shown. There is a red globe in the middle and the USPW logo at the very top on both belts. The words "Tag Team" were on top and "Champions" was on the bottom as Ryan decided to steal a fan's camera and pose for a selfie with the belts.)

(William starts coming out in the same attire from Firestorm as he raises his arms in sheer confidence that he can handle this as the crowd gets behind him while the Swagger Boys are loaded inside the steel structure mocking that William is on his own.)
"Their opponent, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing 275 lbs., William Ashworth!" Richard announced as he sat down at ringside.
"William is in a very unfavorable predicament taking on two men at once without the help of Jonathan and Preston is still lurking around so who knows what is gonna happen." Russ stated.
"That's just the nerves talking, Russ. I believe William is a man of his own strength and can overcome the odds just as the Bloodline has done multiple times." Greg added.
(William came ringside as he placed one foot on the steel steps as the ref opened the cage door for him to enter and the big man stepped inside through the ropes with the main referee holding both USPW Tag Team Titles and turning for the audience to see as Tanner and Ryan started circling William already making the ref keep them both at bay from both sides and letting William get some breathing room. Ryan tugged on the south cage wall and Tanner banged on the north cage wall nodding that it was all secured. The ref made sure the Swagger Boys behaved and then called for the bell.)
Tanner and Ryan started running for William, but the big man hit a Double Clothesline as the crowd cheered right off the bat. William then hit a Big Boot to the face of Ryan and then whipped Tanner into the ropes before getting a Big Boot to the face as well. The big man raised an arm and the crowd cheered as the Swagger Boys felt their faces groaning as their headaches became present. William grabbed Tanner's head and got it into a headlock hold hitting punches to the head making Tanner fall on his behind before getting a boot to the face as Ryan tries his luck, but William stopped him putting a hand on his head before executing a Headbutt to the smaller man as William dominated the beginning of the match. Tanner grabbed the ropes as William shoved Tanner into the east cage wall a few times before shoving the jock down.
"William showing he's not playing around and we could be seeing a curb stomp right here." Greg stated
William grabbed Ryan now as he started for a Bodyslam, but Ryan slipped out and went for the knees of William as the giant tripped to one knee. Ryan ran the ropes and tried for a Bicycle Kick to the head, but William caught the throat of Ryan trying for a Chokeslam, but Tanner hit a Clothesline to William taking him down. Tanner and Ryan took turns stomping down on William like a pack of dogs going after a piece of meat as the crowd booed them loudly. Tanner dragged William shoving him down in the upper right corner as the Swagger Boys continued stomping down their adversary as William is forced down into his back while Tanner keeps a foot on his throat. Ryan drops a few boots down on the chest and drags William out to the middle of the ring.
"It's time for revenge and Tanner and Ryan have William right where they want him." Russ stated.
Ryan hits an Elbow Drop and then Tanner and then another from Ryan and then another from Tanner before they hit a combined Elbow Drop hooking arms together. Ryan then gets William up as he whips him into Tanner, who picks William up to hit a Spinebuster. Tanner then hooks the legs of William.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but William kicked out.
Tanner got a little fumed as he gets up and drags Ryan over to help him lift William up as they get the big man up wrapping the arms around their necks. They grab each side of William's shorts trying to hit a Double Suplex, but William would not budge as much as the Swagger Boys tried. William burst out hitting punches to both Tanner and Ryan before colliding both of their heads together while both boys holding their heads in pain. William gets Ryan up before whipping him into the ropes before he catches the smaller member in a Sidewalk Slam. William hooked the left leg of Ryan.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Ryan kicked out as William was pushed off.
"William trying time gain some momentum by taking on the smaller member. That is smart considering Tanner is close enough to his size." Greg stated.
William then went over to Tanner in the upper left corner as he started punching the stomach of the taller member before he threw Tanner across the ring as the jock grabbed his back in pain screaming. The crowd cheered on William as Tanner got grabbed by the hair before he got hit with a Bodyslam and Tanner screamed in more agony as his back ached. William then raised an arm and then grabbed the throat of Tanner before lifting the jock up and grabbing his trunks as he hit a Chokeslam. William then dropped down placing both hands on Tanner's chest.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Ryan broke the count driving an Axe Handle into the back of William.
"Ryan with the save and it looks like the Swagger Boys are about to get their advantage back despite being rag dolls for William." Russ explained.
Ryan kicks William down and drops knees to the head as Tanner gets up tackling William into the ropes hitting elbows to the head of the big man. Tanner gets William on the other side of the ropes as the big man is squished into the north cage wall before Ryan ran the ropes and hits a Basement Dropkick to William forcefully squishing him into the cage wall further. William wheezed and spit out as he grabbed his stomach in sheer agony. The crowd booed as Ryan and Tanner rolled William back to the center of the ring as they taunted to the crowd saying "He's no hero! His brother turned his back on him!" Tanner gets William up and holds him for Ryan as Ryan slaps the face of William a few times to taunt him and even punches the face a few times, but William uses a boot to push Ryan to the canvas and elbows Tanner in the head. William then executes a Back Body Drop on Tanner as the taller jock fell on his partner and both men screamed in pain.
"William showing these guys up and he may actually do it. Back Body Drop on Tanner who fell on Ryan to hurt two birds with the same stone." Russ stated.
Tanner gets up as William grabs his throat and tries for another Chokeslam, but Tanner elbows William in the head before kicking William in the gut hitting a DDT. Tanner then gets Ryan up as both men decide to exit the cage now as they try getting the ref to quickly open the cage door to which the crowd chants "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!" As the ref begins unlocking the cage, William begins rising as The Swagger Boys jump in place when the door opens and they struggle getting out the ropes as they both rushed to get out of the cage. William walks over and pulls both boys inside before shoving them into the ropes grabbing both throats executing a Double Chokeslam. William then placed a foot on the chest of Ryan as the ref slid in.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Ryan kicked out at 2.6!
"William with the Double Chokeslam, but Ryan gets the shoulder up just in time to keep the match alive." Greg stated.
William gets Ryan up and punches him in the gut as the smaller guy stands in the upper right corner. William whips Ryan into the other corner as Ryan hits his back in the lower left corner and William hits a Corner Splash as Ryan falls to the canvas. Willam hammers the back of Ryan and gets him up before hitting an DDT of his own. He hooks both legs of Ryan's
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Tanner kicks the back of William to break the count.
William grabs his back as Tanner hits a low blow and William has to hold his crotch as there couldn't be a disqualification called, but the ref did scold Tanner for his actions and Ryan did another low blow kicking the crotch of William as the big man went to his knees. Ryan
runs the ropes hitting a Shining Wizard to William as he hooks both legs.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but William pushes Ryan off launching him across the ring.
"William launching Ryan away as this really illustrates the size difference between all three men in this match so far. Also, the Swagger Boys using their low blow tactics to really make sure William doesn't have kids." Russ observed.
William starts rising once more as Tanner hits a knee to the gut sending William staggering back into the lower right corner. Tanner continues hitting knees to William in the corner as the jock backs up taunting to the crowd as he runs back only to get an Atomic Drop from Tanner and then a KO Punch to knock Tanner flat on his back. Ryan then climbs the upper right corner and goes for a Flying Kick hitting the chest as William goes down. Ryan gets up and waits for William to rise as Ryan sneaks a hand into his trunks to bring out a pair of brass knuckles which is a tactic he learned from his trainer, William Regal. Ryan hooks on the knuckles as he waits for William to turn around and Ryan decks William right in the head, but William is still standing grabbing his head.
"Ryan with the brass knuckles! However, William took it and still stood." Russ stated.
Ryan tried again connecting as William gets clobbered over and over in the upper left corner as Ryan gets William into the middle of the ring as Ryan kisses the knucks and he winds up a punt with the brass knuckles, but William fires back with another KO Punch to Ryan as William drops to his knees and hooks both legs.
"1…2…3!" The ref counted as the bell rang and the crowd cheered loudly.
("I Can't Get No Satisfaction" by Rolling Stones)
"Here are your winners and the inaugural USPW Global Tag Team Champions, William Ashworth and "The Instant Classic" Jonathan Steele!" Richard announced.
"What a match that William had to go through surviving the 2-on-1 assault and coming through for the Bloodline." Greg stated.
(William got up as the ref handed both titles over and William raised them both getting a good standing ovation from the crowd. William then starts making his way for the cage door and steps through the ropes.)
"This is a very big moment for this man winning these tag team titles all by himself and I wonder just where Preston was during all of this." Russ wondered.
"William will be joining his friend in the ER and they will celebrate the night away becoming our first tag team champions. We will hear from Preston on Monday, but that's it for our first CageZone show. This is Greg Justice and Russ Markley signing off." Greg concludes as they finished off the broadcast.
(William kisses both belts holding them high for the others to see as he heads up the ramp off on his way to the nearest hospital so he can put the belt on his best friend's shoulder. Preston could be seen watching from backstage with his arms crossed and his head shaking in disappointment before the screen went to the USPW logo.)
