The screen stays black for a very long time. Soon, a star appeared, then another, and another until the screen shifted to deep space. Forever (by Drake) starts playing as the stars formed constellations of the thirty-two competitors:
It may not mean nothing to y'all….
The stars formed to show Ruthless Roger Stone and Jaden Sennoa staring down. It then forms into Luke Gray & Asher Darma being nice & friendly to a group of people.
But understand nothing was done for me….
It then changes to Hikaru Yoshida shadow boxing & Asher King doing Jiu-Jitsu. Wei Wu-Long appeared smoking a cigar & Kenji Tetsuya rolling some dice.
So I don't plan on stopping at all….
The stars formed to show Alexander Magnus standing with his hands behind his back. It then alters to Rodri Montoya doing same. It then changes to Slade standing angrily & Kyoshi Warrior shooting mist in the form of comets.
I want this shit forever mayne, ever mayne, ever mayne!
The stars formed an image of William Dawkins & Alessia Perez laying on a pile of money. Then, to El Segador near a black hole, with Angel Cadia. It then changed to Tyson Burke holding a strange, empty doll. And then to Fenris standing with Emily Scarlett.
I'm shutting shit down at the mall...
The stars changes to Mark Jacobs flexing, then Brandon Duke running like a meteor. We then see the stars form Fritz Kaiser & Tim Fowler with other stars flashing around them.
And telling every girl she the one for me….
The stars shifted to Sebastian Flair yelling "WHOO". Then to La Rebelion. Alexis sitting at a large chair with Rey Aguayo, Jesus Garza, Phoenix, & Sofia Reynoso standing behind her. All of a sudden, Sofia pulls out a sign reading #LetSofiaIn.
And I ain't even planning to call….
The stars show Jacob Uso, J.P Rainforth, & Nolan Garson super depressed. It then changes to K.W is drinking liquor out of a bagged bottle.
I want this shit forever mayne, ever mayne, ever mayne….
The stars then shifts to Psychotic Clown with a strange & twisted smile and finally shifts to the Ruffians own Alex Drake, Ricky Vazquez, and Jaxson Caruso laughing and smoking a joint together.
After shifting through all of the images, the stars began to shrink and the music stops. Then, all of the stars expands & explodes into a supernova! The title screen soon appears, that read:
The Wrestling Federation Alliance presents: The Supernovas Tournament!
The screen cuts to the arena, where the ring has blue & purple ropes with WFA Logo on the side of it. Sitting ringside was a large trophy & the brand new WFA North American Trophy. The crowd were cheering and ready for the show! The screen cuts to the announce table. Jazz was sitting at the announce table...without Jay in sight.
Jazz: Welcome, ladies & gentlemen, to Day 8 of the WFA Supernovas Tournament! Tonight is a very special show because we will witness our two Semi-final matches to determine which two will go to the Royal Albert Hall in the UK and compete in the Finals to determine the WFA North American Champion! I am Jazz Conway ...and I was suppose to be joined by my co-commentator Jay Masters. However, he was ...shipped off and hasn't made it back. But it's okay! Because I will be joined my...errr...other co-commentator right about…
Ay Ay Ay (by Snow Tha Product) plays, causing a LOUD, positive reaction from the crowd! Sofia walks out with her usual picket sign & shirt reading "#LetSofiaIn." She made her way through the crowd before climbing over the barricade and sitting next to Jazz.
Sofia: Chica! How are you?
Jazz: I'm good. I think Jay hasn't returned from his….uhhh...travels
Sofia: He's probably still dumpster diving for relevancy. I couldn't give two shits where he is right now. What I do care about is if you're okay. I heard what went down with you being assaulted, and it took everything in me to not storm the place and put a bullet in everyone's heads.
Jazz: I'm fine. Enough of that, we have a very important show to get through! We are first going to kick things off with the first of two matches: Phoenix versus Mark Jacobs!
Lydia by Highly Suspect plays. The lights go out as Mark Jacobs walks under a faint spotlight. As the lyrics begin, Jacobs looks up and does the throat switch as the lights turn on with a flash. Jacobs looks around in disgust before slowly walking down to the ring. He climbs the steps and steps onto the apron. He turns towards the crowd, smirking as he raises his hands on either side of him. He steps through the middle rope and gets to the center of the ring. He looks around before doing the Switchblade throat slit.
"The following contest is a Semifinals Match in the WFA Supernovas Tournament! Introducing first, from Brooklyn, New York, standing 6ft tall & weighing in at 215lbs: 'The Bane Of Existence' MARK JACOBS!
Jazz: Mark has been very vocal since the start, but I'd be lying if I said he hasn't backed it up by making it this far, especially defeating Tyson Burke, Ricky Vazquez, and Rodri Montoya to make it this far.
Sofia: That's because esta perro never faced La Rebelion before. While he keeps running his mouth, we put in the work. Mark's gonna get carried tonight, chica, and then get tossed back to irrelevance.
Jazz: Never short on confidence….
Words I Never Said (by Lupe Fiasco) plays, and the crowd pops HARD for Phoenix! He walks out with Alexis behind him as Mark sits in the corner. Phoenix heads to the ring and leaps inside. He climbs up and raises the 'La Rebelion' Flag to everyone while Alexis looks on in approval.
"Introducing his opponent, representing La Rebelion and being accompanied by 'The Queen of the South' Alexis Espinoza, from Mexico City, Mexico, standing 5'10" & weighing in at 202 lbs: 'The Bird of War' PHOENIX!"
Jazz: Sofia will clearly agree, but it has to be said: Phoenix has been on a hell of a run in this tournament!
Sofia: Ya damn right, chica! It doesn't matter if it's a Silver Metallist, an "Everything is EVIL" fanboy, or even the power of Ruffian kush! Phoenix stepped up to every last one of them. ¿Y que pasó? He kicks their asses! Now he's gonna kick Mark's ass, go to the finals, and win the whole thing! With that said, I still am pissed off at your husband for not letting me be the one to kick Mark's ass in the Supernovas! So when Trell gets better, he can still go fuck himself.
Jazz: It's definitely going to be a clash between Mark & Phoenix! Neither man wants to lose, but only one can win!
When the bell rings, Mark and Phoenix went face-to-face. They lock up and Mark easily pushes Phoenix to the corner. Mark had him pushed against the corner, but when he grabbed Phoenix's mask, the ref immediately forced him to let go! The crowd boos Mark while he had a smirk on his face. He then says "I'm sorry" and offered him a handshake. The crowd immediately yells "NO!" while Phoenix just looked at it. Phoenix then turns to Alexis, who immediately shook her head no. When Phoenix sees this, he yells at Alexis "Stay out of this, bitch!" The crowd gasps as Alexis immediately was about to storm the ring!
Jazz: Oh dear….
Sofia: That's it. Win or lose, that fucker's dead.
The ref had to hold Alexis back, but when Mark turned around, Phoenix kicked him below the belt! The crowd popped as a pissed off Phoenix follows up with a Roundhouse Kick followed by a Spin Heel kick to the face, and he finishes off with a Snap Rana! Alexis left the ring after seeing Phoenix kicking Mark's ass while "The Bane of Existence" rolls to the corner. When he got up, he was hit with a Jon Whooo Corner Dropkick! Phoenix gets up and sends Jacobs flying with the Monkey Flip! Mark flips and crashes on his stomach while Phoenix rolls backwards, gets to his feet, and hits a Standing Moonsault stomp Mark's back! The crowd were amazed at the swift and fluent motion of Phoenix, who goes for the cover.
1...KICKOUT!
Jazz: After hitting a low blow, it's all Phoenix so far while Mark tries to figure out what's happening!
Sofia: What's happening is Mark getting his ass kicked, chica! Phoenix isn't afraid of fighting dirty if needed. It's one of the reasons why he's a valued hermano in La Rebelion.
Mark looked flabbergasted from Phoenix's speed. "The Bird of War" drags Mark and tossed him to the floor. After steadying himself, Phoenix runs the ropes and attempts the no-handed Springboard Shooting Star Press! However, Mark pulled the nearby cameraman in the way, and Phoenix accidentally crashes into him! Before Phoenix could recover, Mark grabs him and SLAMS him right into the steel steps! Mark taunted Alexis and the crowd, earning him boos. Mark picks Phoenix up and drops him with a X-Plex on the ramp! Mark rolls back in and taunts the booing crowd while Phoenix struggles to get back up! Alexis tells Phoenix "¡Levántate, Phoenix! ¡Levántate!" Phoenix pulls himself up and stumbles his way to the ring. All of a sudden, Mark runs and hits him with a Front Flip Tope Con Hilo! Mark kicks up and yells "Anything he can do, I can do better!" The crowd boos him while he rolls Phoenix back into the ring. Mark got on the apron and waited for him to get up. When Phoenix does, Mark hits the Springboard Clothesline! Jacobs soon went for the cover….by placing a foot on his chest.
1...2 KICKOUT!
Jazz: Mark is just toying with Phoenix right now.
Sofia: Mark's just acting like a bitch right now, chica. Don't pay him any attention and watch he starts falling apart.
When Phoenix kicked up, Mark grabbed his wrists. He then hits the Double Wrist Lock Headstomps while looking directly at Alexis and Sofia with a cocky smirk! Eventually, he hooks him up on his shoulders and hits the Running Buckle Bomb! Phoenix stumbles forward and catches Mark with a sudden Mushroom Stomp! The crowd popped hard as both men were down! Phoenix and Mark got up at the same time and began trading rapid shots back & forth! With each Forearm, the crowd was getting louder and louder! Suddenly, Mark hits Rapid Gut Punches! He follows up with a Spin Kick to Phoenix's ribs, a kick up, stomps to the feet that knocks Phoenix to one knee, and a Superkick! However, Phoenix catches the Superkick, gets up, and hits a Bicycle Knee Strike to the face! Mark collapses to the canvas, and Phoenix followed up with a Springboard Phoenix Splash! He goes for the cover!
1...2...KICKOUT!
Jazz: What a move by Phoenix! But Mark is still in this match!
Sofia: ¿Qué te dije, chica? Jacobs just a bitch, and he isn't gonna last too long. He's looking lost with Phoenix is just running circles around him!
Phoenix got up and leaps to the top rope. He steadies his balance and attempts his signature Fireball (Corkscrew Shooting Star Press)! Unfortunately, Mark rolled away, but luckily, Phoenix manages to stick the landing! Mark pulls himself up as Phoenix charges after him! Mark launches him in the air and goes for the Pop-Up Powerbomb, but "The Bird of War" counters it into a snap Hurricanrana, sending Jacobs to the middle rope! Phoenix regains himself and goes for his other signature: Burn Out (Tiger Feint Kick followed by Middle Rope Moonsault in one motion)! But Jacobs ducks the Tiger Feint Kick which causes Phoenix to spin in the ring! "The Bane of Existence" tries for a Lariat, but Phoenix ducks it and tries for the Handspring Cutter! Yet Mark catches the Cutter and applies his finishing submission: the Dragon Mutilator (Modified Dragon Sleeper)!
Jazz: Mark has the Dragon Mutilator applied! Phoenix is caught in the center of the ring!
Sofia: Don't panic just yet, chica! Phoenix knows how to escape from this hold!
Mark began swinging Phoenix around while keeping the submission locked it! Phoenix slowly started fading from the dizziness and submission! Mark then went for the body scissors, but when he did, Phoenix immediately rolls to his feet! He sits Mark up and applied his own finishing submission: the Wings of the Phoenix (seated Cattle Mutilation)!
Sofia: What did I tell you? Now Mark's the one who is about to tap out!
Jazz: What an escape by Phoenix! He literally has Jacobs trapped and with no way to maneuver to the ropes!
The crowd is on their feet for Phoenix! Alexis is watching very closely as Phoenix kept Mark trapped in the middle! "The Bane of Existence" was visibly struggling to find a way to escape! He soon began leaning to his sides before slowly pulling himself back to his feet! Using sheer strength, Jacobs pulled himself up while Phoenix still had the hold up! When Mark got to his feet, he tries to deadlift Phoenix in the Gringo Killer! However, Phoenix manages to flip to his feet and attempts the Ripcord! Mark then pops up Phoenix into his signature Neck Killer (Powerbomb pulled into the Package Piledriver)! The crowd looked on in horror and disappointment as Mark goes for the cover!
1...2….thr-KICKOUT!
Jazz: Phoenix kicked out! Phoenix is still alive after getting dropped on his head!
Sofia: Phoenix isn't gonna go down that easily, chica! And Jacobs is finally getting it through him!
Phoenix was SHOCKED that he kicked out, and the crowd was LOVING it! Mark stood up and ferociously stomped down on Phoenix's head! The joking and games was over for "The Bane of Existence" as he lifts Phoenix to his knees. He then hits the Comatose (Knee Smash to a grounded opponent) right to the side of his head! But Mark wasn't finished with Phoenix just yet! He pulls Phoenix up from behind and attempts the Deep Coma (Reverse Komigoye)! However, Phoenix yanks Mark forward to the second rope! "The Bird of War" gets up, stumbling a bit and rubbing his head. He runs and connects with the Burn Out! Phoenix goes for the pin!
1...2….thr-KICKOUT!
Jazz: Now Mark is the one who kicked out! Neither man is staying down in this high-action bout!
Sofia: Vamos Phoenix! ¡Estás cerca de ganar!
Now it was Phoenix and Alexis who couldn't believe it! Mark was still alive in the match! The crowd began chanting "THIS IS AWESOME!" while Phoenix stumbles to his feet. He lifts Mark and attempts his finisher: the Blaze of Glory (Ripcord into a Standing Spanish Fly)! However, after the Ripcord, Mark applies the Guillotine Choke from nowhere! Phoenix collapses on one knee while "The Bane of Existence" was choking the air out of him! But "The Bird of War" still had enough to lift his opponent in the air! Mark lands behind Phoenix and shoves him! Phoenix, in response, goes for the Handspring Cutter! However, Mark catches him with a Knee Lift to the back of his head! The crowd gasps as Phoenix crashes to the canvas! Stumbles to the rope, catching his breath, before signaling the end with his Baneful Throat Slit taunt. He lifts Phoenix and attempts his finisher: The Baneful Ways (Lifting Double Underhook DDT spun into a Side Slam)! However, Phoenix twisted his body and connects with a Cutter from nowhere! The crowd were on their feet, cheering Phoenix on! Phoenix pulled himself on the apron to regain his composure! Alexis yells for Phoenix to finish this! Phoenix, bruised and beaten from the match, pulled himself to the top and tries to balance himself. However, Mark pulled himself to his feet and climbs up the top as well! Phoenix and Mark began trading shots back & forth, with each man so close to falling off the top rope! The crowd watched with bated breath as each Forearm to the face almost knocked each other off! Finally Phoenix hits a Headbutt which knocks Jacobs back in the ring! After getting a grip after delivering a headbutt, Phoenix goes to balance himself once more. Mark was up again, however, and climbed up top! But instead of fighting Phoenix….he RIPPED OFF HIS MASK!
Jazz: Oh my goodness! Mark just took Phoenix's mask!
Sofia: ESE HIJO DE UNA PERRA!
The crowd gasps in shock and booed Mark LOUDLY as Phoenix IMMEDIATELY shielded his now-exposed face! And this allows Mark to hook his opponent and hit a super Baneful Ways from the top rope! The crowd was still booing as "The Bane of Existence" covers him!
1….2…..3!
"Here is your winner….MARK JACOBS!"
Jazz: Mark Jacobs has done it! Thanks to a vile, disrespectful tactic of ripping of Phoenix's mask, Mark Jacobs has now advanced to the finals of the Supernovas Tournament!
Sofia did not respond immediately! She removed her headset and rushed in the ring while Mark quickly rolled out with Phoenix's mask! Alexis helped put a towel over Phoenix's face while she and Sofia stared down Jacobs ...who was smiling while holding the mask in his mouth! He just raised his hand in victory and taunted the crowd, who was appalled at Jacob's disrespect! Mark spits out the mask, balls it up, and tosses it aside before heading to the back, leaving La Rebelion alone in the ring. Soon, Jesus Garza & Rey Aguayo came out to help Phoenix up while keeping his face hidden. The crowd all stood up and gave the five of them, especially Phoenix, a standing ovation. After they have soaked in the reaction, Jesus & Rey helped Phoenix to the back as Alexis followed them out. Sofia, meanwhile, returned to commentary.
Sofia: That was a shitty way to end things for La Rebelion….
Jazz: It does feel like a bitter moment, especially with how Mark won the match.
Sofia: Take it from me, Mark ain't gonna get away with that disrespect. Somewhere, someway, La Rebelion is comin' for him. And that's on mi familia.
Jazz: Before we move on to our second Semifinals match, there has been another match made official. After Jacob Uso interfered in Jaden Sennoa's match, the two Samoans will collide in a rematch at the Immortality 2 Pre-Show!
Sofia: I can always watch to people who hate each other fight it out. It should be fun at the very least. Now let's move on to our other Semifinals match between William Dawkins and Asher Darma!
Mars, Bringer of War begins to play as the crowd began to boo! William Dawkins walks out with Aleesia Perez and stares around the arena. They walk to the ring together while not even looking at the row of people begging for change. Finally, they come across some young children who had their hands out. Dawkins & Perez snickered and looked at each other before pulling out a hundred dollar bill. He teased giving it to them ...but instead he ripped it up and threw it at the kids, laughing at their sad faces! The crowd booed as Dawkins stepped inside and raised his arms to everyone.
"The following contest is a Semifinals match in the WFA Supernovas Tournament! Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Alessia Perez, from Cambridge, England, standing 5'11" & weighing in at 230 lbs: 'The Golden Lion' WILLIAM DAWKINS!"
Jazz: By hook or by crook, William Dawkins has surprised everyone by making it to the semifinals. He's beaten Luke Gray, Fenris, and Jaden Sennoa...albeit due to interference, and now he is already one win away from advancing to the finals! On top of that, he also has a chance to grab the Immortal Opportunity! All of this in his home country, so this is a do-or-die situation for Mr. Dawkins!
Sofia: I can tell that this guy only cares about fame, money, and success that this business brings. He needs to muster up every ounce of focus to try and get through his opponent.
Jazz: I just expect his business associate, Aleesia Perez, to get involved in some way.
A House that's not Quite Home (by Junior) plays, and the crowd popped HARD for Asher! "The Slumdog" was slowly dragging his body out to stage! Pain was written on his face after every step he took. Loud "DARMA" chants were heard as Dawkins looks on at his opponent.
"Introducing his opponent, from Pujari, India, standing 6'2" & weighing in at 239 lbs: 'The Slumdog' ASHER DARMA!"
Jazz: Asher has been on a long and painful journey throughout this tournament! He defeated J.P Rainforth in the first round...but then torn apart by Ruthless Roger Stone! He managed to survive long enough for Stone to get himself DQed before going on and defeating Psychotic Clown! With each battle, Asher has taken a battering! I can't help but wonder how long Asher can physically last…
Sofia: Yes, Asher's been getting his assed kicked, but that nice Indian boy is one of the toughest guys I've ever seen. He has more heart than that Dawkins guy and he will find a way to overcome and win!
Asher slowly stepped in the ring and stood across from Dawkins. Everyone continues to chant for Darma as Dawkins rolls his eyes. But before the referee could start the match, Dawkins suddenly stopped him. Perez hands him a mic as William looked at Asher.
Dawkins: Asher...Asher...Asher. Allow me to say that I admire how you made it this far. You've fought tooth and nail to win every one of your matches, and now you are so close to going to the finals.
The crowd cheered while Asher slowly nods cautiously. Dawkins gives him a clap then spoke.
Dawkins: But look at you, Asher! You're hurt! You're beat up! You...you can't even walk straight! No one wants to see you like this! Hell, I don't even wanna see you like this! And that's why I am going to do something that I have never done before. BRING THEM OUT, BRUVS!
Asher turns to the stage, expecting the worst. But what he saw were people rolling out wheelbarrows of cash, all hundred dollar bills! They began to surround the ring and even stood on the ramp and stage! The crowd's mouth watered as they saw all of this money in one place! Asher...he was just surprised at all of this! Dawkins went over and gently placed a hand on his shoulder.
Dawkins: Asher...I heard about why you wanted to do this for the country of India. So I've decided to supply you with enough money to help your people live a happier life: I believe twenty percent of my wealth is enough to feed four generations of India.
The screen cuts to several trucks parked, which also has money inside. Asher just stared at everything as Dawkins smiled.
Dawkins: But money doesn't come free, my friend. In order to fulfill your wish and help the millions of people in India, and finally allow your body to heal and rest, all you have to do ...is forfeit this match!
Asher turns to Dawkins in shock as the crowd IMMEDIATELY boos! Soon, "NO!" chants began to break out as Dawkins was getting annoyed.
Dawkins: Don't listen to these people, Asher! They're just lazy peons who WISH they could have this much money! But you can, Darma! You have a chance to do the right thing to help your people! Just tell this referee that you want to forfeit the match, and it's all yours!
Dawkins hands Asher the mic and stood by his side! The "NO!" chants were still going strong while Darma was contemplating what to do. He looked at the title & trophy. He turns to face the row of money all around him. Asher took a deep breath and backed away from Dawkins.
Asher: You are right...this money will help my friends and family and the 1.4 million people of India. But I promised everyone that I will help them by winning this tournament. I am sorry, Mr. William Dawkins, but I must turn down your offer.
The crowd popped HARD for Asher's decision! Dawkins's smile quickly faded as he puts his head down! He just gave Asher a sad look and sent the people carrying the money away. Dawkins just looks at Asher with a disappointed look.
Dawkins: ….No wonder India is a dirty and filthy country. It's because the entire population is a bunch of filthy idiots!
All of a sudden, Alessia low blows Darma from behind! The crowd boos as Dawkins beats Asher down with the mic and began stomping on his injured ribs! Asher yells in pain while everyone chants "ASSHOLE" at the Golden Lion!
Jazz: What a disgusting display by Dawkins! He tries to buy his way to the finals, and when Asher said no, they low blow him and attack his injuries!
Sofia: Guys like Dawkins are weak for pulling stunts like that. Asher has more character than anyone and won't let money try to stop his dreams!
The referee pulls Dawkins away to check on Asher. Darma tells the referee to start the match. The ref reluctantly starts the match! When Darma pulled himself up, Dawkins hits the Golden Knee (Regal Knee) to his face! Asher collapsed as Dawkins went for the pin!
1..2 KICKOUT!
William rolls to Darma and rains down a flurry of fists on him! He yells "This is on him!" to which the crowd began to boo! He picks Asher up and threw him shoulder first into the ring post! Asher collapses to the floor while Dawkins took his sweet time stepping out. When he did, he Irish whips Asher into the steel steps! He smirks at Darma wincing in pain and agony! He then drags him by the hair and slams him directly into the barricade! Darma clutches his ribs and back while crawling around! William rolled in and out in order to restart the ref's count. He scoops Asher up and hits a Fisherman Suplex on the floor! Dawkins sits on the apron as Perez sits next to him! William spreads his arms out and laughs in front of the booing crowd. "ASSHOLE" chants began to rain down on him, but "The Golden Lion" brushes it off. Dawkins pulls Asher on the apron before rolling in. He lifts his opponent up and goes for the Rope Hung Piledriver! But "The Slumdog" pushes in and counters it with a Back Body Drop, knocking Dawkins to the floor! The crowd were beginning to come alive as Asher crawled up. When he sees Dawkins recovering, Asher runs the ropes and hits the Heat Seeking Missile Dive to him! The crowd popped and began chanting Asher's name! Darma, despite taking part in the attack as well, weakly pulls Dawkins back into the ring! When William was getting up, Darma connects with the Paved Road (Slingshot Tornado DDT over the second ropes from the ring apron to inside the ring)! Asher went for the cover.
1...2..KICKOUT!
Jazz: Asher is still alive in this match! But he needs to find a way to quickly put Dawkins down before the damage becomes too much to handle!
Sofia: Asher will find a way, chica. He not only a nice Indian boy, but he's a smart Indian boy as well.
Asher was slow to move, but he manages to drag Dawkins to a corner. He stumbles to the parallel corner and was going to climb up. But as soon as he made it to the top, Alessia got on the apron and yelled at him to "Get down!" Asher looks at her and says "I thank you for your concern over the well-being of my body, but I must decline your request for me to climb down from this turnbuckle I am standing on." Darma said. While Asher was talking, "The Golden Lion" got up and shoves him off the top and crashing right into the barricade! The crowd looked on with concern and shock as Darma collapses on the floor! The referee rolls out to check on Asher's well-being! But Dawkins rolls out and moved the referee aside. He grabs Asher and Powerbombs him directly on the apron! The crowd went back to booing, but Dawkins ignored them. He rolls back in the ring, lifts Asher between the first two ropes, and hits the Rope Hung Piledriver! William went for the cover!
1….2...KICKOUT!
Jazz: Oh dear lord...that was a horrible landing for Asher. But what determination Darma is showing for sticking in the match!
Sofia: I'm not gonna lie, I'm a tiny bit worried for my favorite Indian boy's health. But I have full trust that he'll push through.
Dawkins & Perez was growing frustrated with Asher kicking out! But the crowd was LOVING it! "The Golden Lion" kicks Asher several times and smacks him upside the head. Asher pulls up against William and tries to fight back! William just looks down at his opponent with disgust before grabbing his head and Forearming him in the face! Asher stumbles around the ring, and Dawkins follows up with the Spin Kick to his ribs! Asher falls to the canvas, but "The Golden Lion" pulls him back up and Powerbombs him straight down! Dawkins dusts his hands before climbing to the top rope. He waits for Asher to stand, and when he did, "The Golden Lion" went for his Top Rope Dropkick! However, Asher counters with a Superkick to the face! Asher collapsed to the hands and knees, but he kept powering through the pain! He got back up and stumbles over to a fallen Dawkins. He lifts him up and went for a German Suplex, but Dawkins grabs the ref from behind! The pain of lifting two people were too much for "The Slumdog!" And with the referee's vizion obscured, Dawkins low blows him with his leg! Asher clutches him and collapses to his knees! Dawkins released the ref, exposes his knee, and hits Asher with the Golden Knee! Alessia cheered loudly as Dawkins went for the cover!
1...2...thr-KICKOUT!
Jazz: Asher is still alive! He is fighting through every cheap tactic Dawkins and Perez is throwing at him!
Sofia: Dawkins is proving why he has more heart than anyone right now!
The crowd were on their feet, but "The Golden Lion" was FURIOUS! He began arguing at the referee, who told him it was a two-count! Dawkins rubbed his face in frustration and waited in the corner for Asher to get up. When he does, William attempted his finisher: The End (Curb Stomp)! However, Asher rolls to the side and connects with the Rolling Corner! Asher pulls Dawkins back to a corner and climbs to the parallel one! But before he could hit anything, Alessia pulls Dawkins out of the ring! The crowd booed them as Perez tries to help Dawkins up. Asher turns to face them, causing Perez to move away. Darma leaps off and hits the D-Day (Diving Senton) right to Dawkins! The crowd were on their feet for Darma, who powers back to his feet. Asher rolls William back in, who rolls to a corner. Asher climbs to the top and finally hits his signature Coast to Coast (Shooting Star Dropkick from one corner to an adjacent corner) right to Dawkins! Williams was out like a light, and Asher rolls him over to pin him!
1...2….thr-BREAKUP!
Jazz: You have got to be kidding me! Perez just saved Dawkins again!
Sofia: ¿Dónde está Hanna cuando la necesitas?
Just as the referee counted two, Alessia grabs Dawkins's foot and puts it on the ropes! The crowd boos her as the ref stops the count! Asher is stunned, but slumps over in exhaustion. He grabs the ropes to pull himself up. He lifts Dawkins up and attempts his finisher: Predetermined Destiny (Standing Somersault Reverse DDT). However, "The Golden Lion" catches him on his shoulders! He stumbles around the ring while swinging Darma around… and, in the process, "accidentally" knocks out the referee! Asher manages to wiggle out of the hold before hitting the a Rolling Deadlift Bridging German Suplex! The crowd was chanting "ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE…!" Asher lets Dawkins go and goes over to the referee. He tries to wake him up while Alessia slides the infamous roll of quarters to Dawkins! Once Asher got the referee up, Dawkins tries to hit him with the Chump Change (Roll of Quarters to the jaw)! However, Asher ducks...and the referee was hit instead! The ref was knocked out of the ring as Darma locks in his submission: the American Dream (Cobra Clutch)! Dawkins was tapping out and the crowd was going crazy! However, there was no referee to see him tap! Alessia sees this and slides in the ring! When Asher turns, she hits him with her finishing move: The Heartbreak (Roundhouse Kick)! Asher releases Dawkins and collapses to his knees. So Dawkins ran the ropes and connected with The End! The crowd watched in horror as Dawkins made the cover! Perez rolled out as a new referee ran out from the back! He slid in and counted the pin!
1…..2…..three? No. KICKOUT!
Jazz: HE KICKED OUT! DARMA KICKED OUT OF THE END!
Sofia: MY INDIAN BOY IS STILL ALIVE AND KICKING!
The crowd popped HARD for Darma kicking out! Dawkins was stunned silence at Asher kicking out! He slammed his fists on the canvas over and over again before lifting Darma back up. He leans him on the ropes, and Perez held him up. Dawkins grabs the roll of quarters and goes for the Chump Change again! But Darma ducks out of the way, causing William to hit Perez instead! She collapses to the floor as Dawkins looks on in shock! But while Dawkins was stunned, Asher runs up behind him and connects with the Predetermined Destiny! The crowd was on their feet! But Asher was not finished yet! With Dawkins down, Asher dragged himself to the top turnbuckle and connects with his second finisher: Shoot for the Stars (Double rotation Shooting Star Press)! The crowd popped and counted along as Asher went for the cover!
1….2….3!
"Here is your winner: ASHER DARMA!"
Jazz: HE DID IT! ASHER'S GOING TO THE FINALS!
Sofia: WHAT DID I TELL YOU, CHICA! ASHER'S GOT MORE HEART THAN ANYONE!
Jazz: HE'S FOUGHT THROUGH A LOT OF PAIN AND CHEAP ATTACKS TO MAKE IT TO WHERE HE IS NOW!
The crowd popped HARD for Asher, who just laid in the ring tired and exhausted! Dawkins rolled out of the ring and collapsed to the floor as everyone chanted Asher's name! With Dawkins and Perez dragging each other up the ramp as Darma got back up. He was smiling through the pain as he looked at the title and trophy. Soon, the cheers began to turn into boos. Asher turned to see why everyone was booing...and he watched as Mark Jacobs walked out.
Sofia: Who the hell dragged this fucker out?
Jazz: I would assume that Mark just wants to take a closer look at who he is going to face in the finals.
Mark had a smirk on his face as he made his way to the ring. Asher leaned against the ropes for support. As he rolls in, the crowd broke out into loud "ASH-ER DAR-MA" chants. Mark and Asher looked around at the chants before staring eye-to-eye. They both glance at the tournament trophy and the WFA North American Championship. Mark grabs a mic and paces back and forth while staring at Darma. "The Bane of Existence" smirks and looks at Darma before speaking.
Mark: Well… Well …Well. "The Slumdog" himself, Asher Darma. Let me be the first to offer my congrats to you for making it to the finals. Because just like everyone here, I have been wanting to face you for a long time. Everywhere I go, I hear how much people want us to face off..and how much people want you to beat me. Unfortunately for everyone, that's not the reality of things. The reality is that I am going to win this tournament...and I will do whatever it takes to make sure you never get back up.
Mark smirks as Asher looks at Mark. The crowd continues to chant for Darma, who began feeling pumped up. He grabs a mic himself and looked Jacobs dead in the eye.
Asher: Hello Mr. Mark Jacobs. It is very nice to meet you before our match in the WFA Supernovas Tournament finals at the Royal Albert Hall! My name is Asher Darma, and I am very grateful to have earned the opportunity to face you as my opponent in the finals. I am excited that you are looking forward to this match as much as I am because I know we will put on an exciting match for everyone. But I am sorry to say that I cannot allow you to win because I have promised all of my family and friends in India that I will win the tournament for them.
The crowd cheered Darma, which caused him to smile. Mark simply smirks and nods before walking up to him.
Mark: If you're so sure that you're going to defeat me ...then why don't we up the ante a bit. Let's make this a memorable match. Mark Jacobs VS Asher Darma…. 2-Out-Of-3 Falls!
The crowd cheered in response and Asher was even taken aback at the offer! Mark stuck out his hand for a handshake as Asher looked around the crowd! Everyone was chanting "YES!" Darma looks at Mark and smiled.
Asher: I accept your challenge for a 2 Falls Out Of 3 Total Falls Match!
The two shook on it, sealing the deal! But when Darma went to let go, Mark trips him! The crowd boos as Asher collapsed on the canvas, and "The Bane of Existence" pressed his knee to Asher's injured ribs! Mark looked dead at the camera and smirked.
Mark: To the 1.4 million people of India, my name is Mark Jacobs. And I'm about to be the bane of your little Indian boy's existence! Because after I win the tournament, Asher's gonna come back to India...in pieces!
Mark began stomping down on Asher over and over again! Darma laid in the ring, clutching his injured body. Jacobs soon lifted him up and teased going for the Deep Coma. However, he did not hit it! Instead, he smirks and tosses him to the side. "I'll see you in the finals, Darma!" He said before leaving the ring! He does the Baneful Throat Switch to a chorus of boos!
Jazz: Mark Jacobs is a disgusting human being. I'm sure you can agree with me on that.
Sofia: Si. It's taking every will in my body to not put a bullet between his head. The only reason I'm not is 1) I'm not trying to scar any of the kids here, and 2) I'm gonna let Asher handle him in the Finals!
Jazz: Well, between you and me, I hope you're able to fly out to England and call the match with me. It's been a lot of fun having you on commentary with me.
Sofia: Oh hell yeah, for sure! Tú eres mi chica, Jazz! And I will do what I can to make it out there to call the finals! La Rebelion may be out, but that don't mean "As Feminino" or #LetSofiaIn is going anywhere!
Jazz: Well, she's been Sofia, I've been Jazz, and we'll see you all at the finals! Mark Jacobs versus Asher Darma…. And it's now a 2-Out-Of-3 Falls Match!
Recap
Match 1: Mark Jacobs VS Phoenix (w/Alexis Espinoza)
Winner: Mark Jacobs via pin
Match 2: William Dawkins (w/Alessia Perez) VS Asher Darma
Winner: Asher Darma via pin
After the show….
The screen opens backstage to the media room, where La Rebelion (minus Sofia) walked into the room. Phoenix's face was covered with a towel, and Alexis was more pissed off than anyone has ever seen her.
Alexis: Let this be a warning to Mark Jacobs: You pissed off the wrong woman. You pissed off the wrong group of people. Because it doesn't matter where or when. ¡La Rebelión está a punto de perseguirte!
Alexis walks out of the room with the others following her out. And sadly...there was no thumbs up from Phoenix. The screen soon went black before cutting to Mark Jacobs walking in the room. He sat down and removed his wrist tape.
Mark: So that's La Rebelion. Those are the guys that everyone's so hyped about, huh? I was highly unimpressed. Because if any of them, especially Phoenix, was as good as they said, then 1) Sofia would've been in this tournament to start with and 2) Phoenix would've won! But instead, I exposed them for what they truly are: a bunch of overhyped wannabe gangsters! But enough about them, I want to tell the whole world "I told you so." I told you that I would outlast each and every person in this tournament! The Ruffians failed, Sebastian failed, Stone failed, Clown failed, Segador failed, Sennoa failed, Montoya and Magnus failed, I literally JUST ruined La Rebelion's chances, everyone's failed! And that's because no one in this tournament better than me! And as for the two people that's about to fight right now, I don't care which one of you wins. Because at the end of it all: that trophy and title will belong to Mark Jacobs!
Mark got up and walked out of the room. The screen goes black for a moment before opening to show Dawkins and Perez coming in the room. Alessia was barely conscious as Dawkins held her.
William: I'm sorry! I'm sorry, Alessia! That filthy Indian ruined everything! I swear, he won't get away with what he did!
"The Golden Lion" took a deep breath in order to compose himself.
William: It doesn't matter anymore. What matters now is Immortality 2. Because I will be the one to win the Immortal Opportunity by ANY MEANS NECESSARY!
Dawkins helped Perez up and storms out of the room. The screen went black before cutting to Mark Jacobs returning once more.
Mark: I said everything I needed to already. All I'm going to say is that Asher should've taken the deal when he had the chance. Because he's not going to find any sympathy from me. Darma's gonna get hurt and hurt BAD. I will beat Asher down until he physically can't get up anymore. Only then will I put him out of his misery and win this whole damn thing!
Mark winked at the cameras as the screen goes black. It then opens with a severely injured Asher.
Asher: I...I am so very sorry...to you all here. I wished…. I could have spoken..to you all in the past. But I am grateful to at least speak to you all now….. I am not feeling well in my body. But I will be okay. Please. Do not worry for me. I will give it my best and make everyone proud. I will see you all in the finals.
Asher slowly got up and waves to everyone. He leaves the room as the screen goes black.
((A/N: We are finally down to two! Mark Jacobs and Asher Darma! They have made it through the grueling tournament and made it to the last hurdle!
