"TONIGHT, we bring back to the ULTIMATE WRESTLING ALLIANCE!"
Anthony standing in the front line of his roster, they look ready to charge.
I PRAY FOR PEACE, BUT I'M READY FOR WAR!
The music fades out.
The crowd goes nuts, and is ready for anything.
Notorious by Adelitas Way plays, and Anthony Dre makes his way to the ring. The crowd goes nuts with excitement.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is an absolute pleasure to be brought back for the final stretch of the Ultimate Wrestling Alliance, I am your longtime UWA commentator, Foxxer, and I am joined by the Simon Miller of the WFA, Ryder, and the Trivolt to my Anthony, Kiran! It is a pleasure to be here with you guys for this final ride!"
"It's amazing as well Foxxer, I never thought I'd get the call that UWA was back." Ryder says.
"Well, it was a shock to all of us Ryder, but I'm looking forward to watching some great wrestling!" Kiran says.
Anthony gets in the ring as his music fades out. The crowd pops.
"Ladies and gentlemen…" He lets the cheers die down. "WELCOME TO THE ULTIMATE WRESTLING ALLIANCE!" The crowd cheers louder than that.
"Indeed, it has been too long, with Wrestlemania behind us, it is finally time to realize that the UWA is something that will never be forgotten!" The crowd pops again. "As this is a shorter span, and we only have four months together, it is time to announce the biggest events of this time! Starting in May, our first PPV since Helloween last year, and our first one in May it's MAY-DAY!" The tron pops up with a green backdrop with gold plated letters spelling out the PPV name. "Following that, we get into our favorite month, June, where we will have what was our first EVER PPV, HEAT WAVE III, The Final Shine." The tron turns tropical and the letters are spelled out by rays of sun. "Then, it was a fan favorite, and personal favorite, with 40 men to enter, and 1 to be guaranteed a spot in UWA's final match, it's PROVING GROUND in July!" The crowd pops as something similar to the Breaking Ground trailers on WWE Network fall and spell out Proving Ground instead. "Finally, it's the big show, the finale of the season and maybe even the series, the show that put UWA on the map, ladies and gentlemen, it's ULTIMANIA, D-DAY!" The crowd pops as Wrestlemania 33 style letters appear on the tron.
"With that, I would like to announce the championships and champions, chosen by the fans. He is given a championship belt.
"First up is our UWA Women's Championship! Held by greats such as Katrina Love and Jessica Batista, our current Women's champion is…"
Amaranth by Nightwish plays, and the crowd is delighted as a Texas native, Nyx Rosewood skips out to the ring.
"A bit of a swerve here, Anthony is giving the UWA Women's title to none other than Nyx Rosewood. Her stint in UWA was short and not very sweet when she was here last year." Kiran points out.
"Well, with her being given the women's title, I'd believe she has a good chance of staying this time." Foxxer says.
"Up next is our UWA Tag team titles, with the longest reign being two seasons by the Bullet Club back in year one, and held by the Giants, Freelancers, and Doomsday! And based on popular demand, these guys have been given another chance…"
Devious by Dale Oliver plays and the crowd pops louder than when Adam B. was named GM of WCPW back in the day.
"The FREELANCERS ARE BACK ON TOP! YES!" Kiran is delighted.
"From coming up short in the Proving Ground match to losing those belts to Doomsday, they are BACK on top!" Foxxer says.
The two snatch the belts from the owner, and showboat for a bit.
"Now, I wasn't going to do this, with only one season, however, the UW championship is being brought back!" The crowd pops again. "Yep, and it's been held by quite a few people through it's run, and brought a few classics to the mix, however, it goes to…"
Help Is On The Way by Rise Against plays, and the crowd pops as a RETURNING Dan Riley walks out!
"OH MY GOD! Anthony has handed the UW title to DAN RILEY, of all people!" Kiran says.
"Yes indeed Kiran, and long time followers of the UWA may know why we are so shocked to hear about this." Ryder says.
"With the clashes these two had through seasons 2 and 3, I honestly cannot believe that Anthony is doing this."
Anthony hands Dan the belt, and the two shake hands to a delighted applause.
"And with him being given this title, he is also given the honor of competing in ALL promotions in the WFA, giving ALL promotions a chance to hold the UW title!" Dan smiles confidently. "It was his idea believe it or not." Anthony chuckles and looks at the official in the ring.
He is handed the UWA title, and he takes a good long look at it.
"Finally, the prestigious UWA championship, held by myself, Dan Riley, Trivolt, Ben Jones, and Levi- The GREAT! But ladies and gentlemen, the current champion is…"
We Don't Have to Dance By Andy Black begins to play, and the crowd goes INSANE!
"No Way! Is that who I think it is?" Kiran exclaims.
The crowd gets even louder as DEVAN walks out into the UWA arena.
"It has been rumored to be possible in the past, including in season 4, but a few months later, the Monster is here in UWA!" Ryder exclaims.
"I CANNOT believe it!" Foxxer exclaims.
"You all DO NOT understand how I feel about this right now! I have followed Devan's career since his indie days, but to see him here now! I CANNOT WAIT!" Kiran says.
Devan gets in the ring and Anthony hands him the UWA title, which he gladly takes. Anthony nods respectfully to Devan before he starts talking to the fans again.
"Champs, take a break, because now it's time for some action! So I would like to announce, that this opening contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!"
"ONE FALL!" The crowd proudly echoes. The champs head backstage.
Anthony chuckles, as he raises the mic back to his lips.
"And this is a match with NEW FACES!" The crowd pops again!
"Introducing first…" Anthony starts.
Indestructible by Disturbed plays and the crowd immediately boos, as a big-tall man with tribal tattoos all over his body, wearing cargo pants, combat boots, and arm bands with Philippine flag colors.
"From the Philippines, standing at 6'11", weighing in at 303 pounds. INIGO TIKBALANG!"
"Not much is known about him aside to his indy appearances, but the fans already hate him…" Foxxer says.
Inigo slowly slides under the bottom rope into the ring, and kneels in the ring, before he pulls himself up. Anthony looks up at him, obviously terrified, and glad he is not competing anymore.
"And… his opponent…" Anthony clears his throat…
The lights go out in the whole arena, and crazed laughter, Joker styled, echoes through the arena as When Darkness Falls by Killswitch Engage plays, and a man with a top hat with Joker cards on it, a torn black leather trench coat, posing like a raven on the stage, gets a pop!
"From New Orleans LA, weighing in at 237 pounds… JASON MALICE!"
"What a strange match to kick off this season. A David vs Goliath style match here." Foxxer says.
"You never know…" Foxxer says.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Jason squares up to the big Inigo. Jason slaps himself a few times and shoves Inigo about an inch. Inigo looks down where he was just pushed, and pumps his pec muscles to a mixture of chuckles and boos.
"A giant show off is what this looks like." Ryder says.
"He's got a reason, he's twice Jason's size." Kiran says.
"No sh*t sherlock." Foxxer says.
Inigo laughs, and taps his pecs, begging to be pushed again. Jason evilly grins, and shoves a bit harder than he did, and pushes Inigo into the ropes. Inigo bounces off and hit stick tackles Jason, laying him out. Jason is clutching his shoulder in pain, but he's laughing.
"Jason's laughing?" Foxxer says.
Jason pulls himself up with the ropes.
"I don't know why Anthony thought this match opening the show would be a good idea…" Kiran says.
"Well, it surely is different…" Ryder says.
Jason stands up, and asks to be hit again. Inigo charges, but Jason slips between his legs, and kicks him in the ass. Inigo stumbles forward, and falls through the middle and top rope. Jason looks to Inigo, towards the announce table, and back to Inigo before sprinting off the ropes closer to the announce table. He leaps over the top rope for a suicide dive, but Jason catches him with one arm.
"Look at the strength!" Ryder says.
Jason kicks and tries to escape, but Inigo laughs at his efforts, and slams him on the floor.
"OH SHIT!" Ryder screams.
Jason is shaking, as he looks up towards the ceiling.
"Inigo just has to roll him back into the ring…" Foxxer says.
"NO SHIT SHERLOCK!" Kiran counters.
"Touche Kiran…"
Inigo deadlifts Jason and rolls him back into the ring. He then lifts him up again, and drops him with his Hurricane (Sitout swinging side slam), and he pins.
"One… Two… Three!"
Ding! Ding! Ding!
"A dominating performance by Inigo in the first match of the season! Anthony has no idea who he has brought in…" Foxxer says.
Backstage:
A tall man is standing against a wall, the tron pans up to his face, and it's Freddy Escobar, who gets a HUGE pop!
"This season, I promise to do more than I ever have in UWA! I've won the UW title, and had three 5 star matches in my run here, but now, I want the UWA title, and Devan, you are standing in the way already. So, it's time to put your money where your mouth is. Prove you deserve that spot at the top of the UWA mountain, prove you were the worthy one that Anthony handed a title to, prove that you are good enough to beat the Prince! See you next week, if you show up." Freddy holds up the Monarchy M as the camera fades to another backstage area.
Anthony's office:
The crowd pops as Anthony is sitting at his desk writing.
He looks up, and stares with a smile.
"My man!" Anthony walks around the desk, and hugs the man known as Trivolt! The crowd pops at the moment. "How's it going?" He says pulling back.
"Going great, I'm here, and I'm looking for a match." He says.
"Well, you may be in luck, cause, we just crowned a UW champ, who's wanting to defend that title, against you." The crowd pops.
"What, tonight?"
"Um, more like, NEXT!" The crowd goes ballistic.
"Alright, well, here we go!" Trivolt goes out of the office.
Ringside:
"No way! We're getting a UW title match here on the first show!" Foxxer goes nuts!
Casual Affair by Panic! At the Disco plays, and the crowd pops as Trivolt walks out, pumping his arms. He is wearing anime styled tights to the ring, and is very happy to be there.
"If you don't know who this is, what rock have you been living under?" Kiran asks.
"Indeed Kiran, that is UWA's Knight, he was ready to fight during the SSW invasion, and can still be considered that as he did fight during the Order's takeover of UWA as a whole." Foxxer says.
"Now, he's getting his long overdue reward for it, in the form of a UW title match against Dan Riley." Ryder points out.
"I hope he's able to make it through the season, as he has had back issues throughout UWA's hiatus." Kiran says.
Help Is On The Way by Rise Against plays, and the crowd goes nuts as the champ, Dan Riley, once again walks out to the ring.
"He's got some serious balls challenging a man who he walked out on during the UWA vs Order feud in season 4, is it possible that Trivolt is still mad about that?" Ryder says.
Trivolt locks eyes with Dan as he enters the ring with the title over his shoulder.
Both of them stare as the UW title is held above his head.
"Ladies and gentlemen, two of arguably UWA's biggest stars in two years are about to fight for the UW title!" Kiran says.
"You can't say that any better Kiran, they went to war for the UWA title a couple times, with Anthony in the mix, but minus him, these two can put on classic encounters." Foxxer says.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Dan and Trivolt circle each other slowly, and lock up. Dan circles around to Trivolt's back, and attempts to go for a German Suplex, but Trivolt bends his knees, and forces Dan over his shoulders. He runs off the ropes, and nails Dan with a viscious clothesline! He covers for a one count. They both have another staredown to a pop.
"We have a standoff here between these two phenomenal men!" Foxxer says.
The two lock up again, and Trivolt goes around Dan's back this time, and tackles him to the mat with ease. He puts in a rear chin lock and Dan struggles to escape it.
"For those who haven't seen these two face off before, they are in for a treat!" Kiran says.
Dan lifts his legs up and gets them around Trivolt's neck, and hits a hurricanrana!
"That's just a taste!" Foxxer finishes.
Dan covers Trivolt for a one count, and Trivolt looks to be favoring his back.
Dan notices this, and runs the ropes, hitting a sliding drop kick to Trivolt's back! Dan stands up, and immediately lands a leg drop across Trivolt's neck. He pins again.
"One… Two…" Trivolt forces a shoulder up, but he's in obvious pain.
Trivolt crawls for the ropes, and Dan backs off… Trivolt doesn't take to kindly to Dan's pity, and charges him. He takes him down and lays a barrage of rights and lefts to Dan's face.
"Trivolt doesn't like anyone showing him mercy!"
Trivolt gets up, and Dan kips up, right into a Strong Style Knee Strike! Trivolt covers.
"One… Two… Thr- "Dan kicks out to a loud OHH chant!
Trivolt gets up, his face in his hand. He backs up, and looks to hit another SSKS, but Dan ducks it, and lands a pele kick. He turns around, and sets Trivolt up for a Reverse Neckbreaker! Trivolt fights his way out, knowing his career is probably over if it hits. He drops off Dan's back, and is met by a viscious clothesline from someone new. Dan turns around, and is taken down as well! The crowd pops, but the match ends in a DQ.
Ding! Ding! Ding! (x3)
"Oh my God! It's…" Kiran is stunned.
"It's Furno MOXLEY!" Foxxer screams.
Furno paces around the ring and bangs his head against the ropes a few times, before leaving.
"Moxley is already making a bold statement, going after two of the biggest stars in UWA's two year history." Foxxer says.
Dan is able to walk out on his own, but Anthony has to come out to make sure Trivolt is able to get up, which he eventually does. The crowd cheers Trivolt on his way to the back.
"Up next, it is our co-main event of the evening, some women's action!
That's What You Get by Paramore plays, and a fired up woman walks out onto the stage, and raises her arm up into the air to a pop, and skips to the ring, high fiving fans on the way down.
"That is the one and only Callie Allster, former member of the new shield, a technical brawler in her own right, and a worthy competitor as well. I cannot wait to see her in action!" Kiran says.
"She is very good, known for her run in the New Shield, and this is her first time in UWA."
Callie steps through the ropes and is all smiles as she waits for her opponent.
Misery Business by Paramore plays, and an engine of a motorcycle revs, and sure enough, a woman is seen, with a red helmet riding one, with the flag of the UK waving on the back of it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, that is Cleo Halifax of Manchester England. The 'Nightmare of Manchester' as she calls herself." Foxxer says.
"Yes, a former WAWW British Champion, WAWW World Champion, Queens of Chaos champion, and TNT Women's champion." Ryder says. Cleo gets in the ring, and gets in Callie's face. The ref pushes the two ladies apart, and calls for the bell.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The two ladies charge each other and bring the fury with a barrage of right hands to the head.
"No love loss between these two, already going strong!" Ryder says.
Callie steps back and checks her face, thinking she is bleeding, then comes off for a spear, that Cleo ducks while hitting a chop block! The crowd ohhs in anger at the cheap shot taken. The boos are deafening, as Callie clutches her left leg. The ref checks her, but Callie shoves the offical away, and hops to one foot. She hobbles over, and gets Cleo with a weak spear, but Cleo counters it into an Kamara Lock! Cleo looks like she's about to snap Callie's arm, but Callie rolls over top of her, and breaks the hold.
"Nice agility shown there by Callie, showing that technical style getting out of that hold." Foxxer says.
Cleo gets to her feet, and Callie nails her with a discus clothesline, but Cleo bounces off the ropes, and hits a big boot, laying Callie out. Cleo forces her opponent to her feet, and she is obviously confused, Cleo lifts Callie up, and puts her in a bear hug! The crowd boos, and Callie struggles to breath.
Her face slowly turns red, and she starts to fade…
The ref checks her..
The ref checks her again…
The ref goes to ring the bell, but Callie suddenly elbows Cleo, and Cleo loosens her grip. Callie hits her again, and again, before she is dropped to her feet. Callie runs off the ropes, and this time lays out Cleo with a discus clothesline! The crowd pops as Callie locks in the Lotus Lock! Cleo struggle to fight as the crowd goes absolutely nuts!
"She uses that move when she's…" Foxxer starts to say.
"Cleo is TAPPING!" Kiran cuts him off.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Cleo stands up tall as the victor, hopping on her good foot. She celebrates and has a smug grin on her face, as she leaves.
"Ahem, Damn it Kiran, I forgot what I was going to say…" Foxxer says.
"Well, maybe you'll remember, but now- "Kiran starts.
"Now, it is main event time! It is time for some tag team action, the teams are unknown to us, so Anthony has offered some introduction for us." Ryder says.
Anthony is standing in the ring.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is MAIN EVENT TIME! This contest is a tag team match set for one fall…" He pauses… "And it is for the UWA tag team championships!"
"NO WAY! The FREELANCERS have to defend their titles already!" Kiran complains.
"So did Dan, but he didn't complain?" Foxxer says.
"Fox, brother…"
Kiran is cut off by Devious playing, and the Freelancers slowly walking onto the entrance ramp.
"Mr. Dre, sir… I don't know what it is, but Luke here, he's feeling a litttle out of it…" Edward says.
"Yeah, there's a nice puke spot in the back now, I'm sorry…"
"Well, a nice apology would be coming out to the ring and forfeiting the titles to your challengers." The crowd ohhs, and Luke straightens out.
"Look at that, I'm feeling better now, let's go Ed!" Luke and Edward march to the ring, and box Anthony in.
Monster by Skillet plays, and the crowd goes nuts, as one lean and tall man, and one ripped and also lean man walk out and the lights start flashing blue and white.
"Your opponents…" Anthony says as the Freelancers back off of him and look towards their opponents…
"Foalan Wolf, and Senshi Kuroi, the DEMON WARRIORS!"
"No way! Anthony was not kidding about new stars making it here! These two men are very dangerous looking!" Ryder says.
"They are former NXT tag champs, but they left there and had a run in Lucha Underground winning trios titles with themselves and two different third teammates." Foxxer says.
"I almost forgot, but this match is for the UWA tag titles, so they could add that to their resume tonight!" Kiran says. "But I hope that doesn't happen.
"Anything is possible this season, Anthony promised unpredictability, so don't count any results out!" Foxxer says.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Luke and Edward are reasonably scared. Foalan sits in the corner, and waits for the two to argue who's going to start.
They do rock paper scissors, and Luke wins! Edward sighs and gets in the ring. Ed and Foalan circle for a moment, before Ed rolls out of the ring, towards the entrance ramp. Anthony is standing there. He pushes Ed towards the ring, causing Ed to turn and face him. This distraction allows Foalan to lift Ed back into the ring by his head, and slam him down, hard. The crowd pops as Foalan covers for a one count.
Foalan goes for a springboard cross-body off the second rope, but Luke trips him up, and he falls hard on his back. Luke backs away, and Anthony doesn't do anything. Edward kips up to his feet, and lands an elbow on Foalan. He gets back up, and this time hits a leg drop. He pins in the process, but gets up mockingly. He laughs in the face of the audience. The boos are deafening! Luke lifts Foalan up, and goes for a deep six, but can't lift him enough to hit it. Foalan kicks Luke in the stomach, and pushes off and tags in Senshi to a loud pop!
"The other monster has been unleashed!" Kiran says.
Senshi leaps halfway across the ring, and lays a forearm to the face of Luke. He kips up and Luke gets to his feet, Senshi then hits Luke with a slingblade! The crowd pops, and Senshi locks in the Kao O Saku. Luke looks like he's ready to tap, when suddenly…
Sierra
Hotel
Indigo
Echo
Lima
Delta
The New Shield!
Redesign, Rebuild, Reclaim plays, and the crowd loses it! Senshi releases his hold on Luke, and looks around the arena, knowing how the 'Shield' enters. He catches someone running down the stairs near the top of the arena, but is jumped from behind!
Ding! Ding! Ding! (X3)
"It's RAPTOR REIGNS, of the NEW SHIELD!" Foxxer shouts.
Raptor beats down on Senshi, and Foalan tries to get in the ring, before getting pulled off the apron by another man.
"And that's, Aiden Black!" Ryder shouts as well.
"We saw Furno and Callie earlier in the night, but there's one person missing…" Kiran says.
Aiden chucks Foalan into the barricade! Raptor looks out towards the announce table, and looks between the ropes.
"What the hell is Raptor thinking?" Ryder says, backing away.
Raptor steps back a few steps, and goes to chuck Senshi over, but Senshi fights back! He lands a barrage of rights and lefts, but he is jumped by Aiden, who kicks him in the back, before running the ropes and hitting the curb stomp! Raptor then looks towards the entrance ramp, and the crowd pops as Furno Moxley comes down again.
"He ruined Dan v Trivolt earlier in the night, what's he doing now?" Ryder asks.
Furno gets in, and Raptor tells the other two to get Senshi up.
"OOH AHH!" He screams, as the three lift Senshi up for a triple powerbomb! They connect to the delight of the crowd!
Before they stand tall, Callie runs out, and she is followed by…
"It's NYX ROSEWOOD, our hand-picked new Women's champion! Ladies and gentlemen, this is the NEW SHIELD!" Kiran shouts.
The quintet do the Shield fist bump, Nyx holding up the Women's belt, as the show ends.
A/N: Lots of chaos on this first show, but there is a method to my madness! I hope you all enjoyed, and I will see you all next week!
