"Hello ladies and gentlemen, and it is an honor to say, welcome to the UWA, my name is Double J, and I am joined by two fellow newbies to this comentary desk, to my right Velocity, and to my left, Jase."
"Hello there JJ, and it is an honor that after 2 years, I finally get to commentate on a UWA show!" Velocity is obviously stoked.

The New Shield!
Redesign, Rebuild, Reclaim plays, and the crowd pops as all five members of the New Shield walk to the ring.
"To recap, they laid out everyone involved in a tag team main event last week, the Demon Warriors and Freelancers respectfully. But earlier in the night, Callie Allster won her debut match and Furno Moxley ruined Trivolt v Dan Riley. Nyx Rosewood was handed the UWA Women's championship, but that may change tonight!" Jase implies.
All three guys and the two girls stand with the girls on the ends, and Furno Moxley in the middle. The audience goes quiet.
"The Ultimate Wrestling Alliance has become the home of the New Shield!" The crowd sounds mixed as Furno says his piece.
Raptor Reigns speaks next,
"Last week, we all laid out a tag team main event!" The crowd boos that. "We want a take over to happen here, something bigger than what the Sanguine Coven and the Order did!" The boos are deafening then.
Aiden Black speaks next,
"So, Anthony Dre? Come out here, and give us what we want!" The crowd grows anxious.
Help Is On The Way plays, and the crowd is delighted to see Dan Riley instead.
"He was one of the victims of the attacks by the New Shield, but it was just Furno at the moment." JJ says.
Dan has the UW title around his waist, and a mic in his hands.
"Furno, right? The ringleader of this circus?" The crowd chuckles. "Well, you see, I am a fighting champion, and Trivolt, well, he's not here tonight…" The boos are loud. "Yeah, I'm disappointed as well, but, I feel like, I should have a match, with YOU!" The crowd pops. "And, just to make sure there isn't any interference, I think I'll have a little backup…" He points towards the stage…
The Kids Aren't Alright by the Offspring plays, and the crowd pops super loud as two average sized men walk out.
"Those can only be the The Saint Boys, Ricky and Tommy respectfully." JJ says.
"They have a good history, and are also part of Dan's stable, known as the Cobra Club everywhere else…" Velocity says.
"That's some good backup to have, but how will the match itself be taken by Anthony?" Jase says.
Backstage:
Freddy Escobar is shadow boxing in the back, the crowd is delighted to see him.
"There is the man that has challenged Devan for the UWA championship, and that will be our main event of the evening!" Velocity says.
Anthony's office:
Anthony is on the phone.
"Hey Bayley, how is he?"
…
"I'm glad he is, and I feel awful about it…"
…
"Yeah I'm trying to run my show still, but…"
…
"Okay, I'll try to, love you."
…
"Bye."
A/N: It's a friend love, she and Trey are still together!
Anthony paces around, and hears a knock on his door.
"Well well well, look who's here…" The camera pans, and there's a man standing with a hammer in hand, and the crowd pops to SAMUEL!
"Hello Mr. Dre." He taps the hammer on his hands a couple of times.
"Last time I saw you, you crapped on my UWA title, what the hell makes you think I want you here?"
"Well- "Samuel starts, but he is interrupted.
"Well, for starters, I do watch SSW, and I saw that you, destroyed my previous UWA title, you could have said for the rest of your career that you were the FINAL UWA champion, but you ruined that… now you'll never be a champion in this company again!" The crowd is mixed at the remark.
"Really? So, what hoops would little old me have to jump through to, get a chance to prove you wrong?"
"Well, if you can beat your opponent tonight, I will put you in a match next week, against whoever loses between Escobar and Devan tonight, and if you beat them, you'll get your title match at May-Day…"
"Excellent! Just what I was looking for! Cheerio Anthony." He leaves laughing. Anthony sighs, and looks towards the door as another familiar face walks in.
"Hey sweetie!" Anthony embraces his daughter, Katie, to a pop.
"Hey dad!"
"I thought you and mom were at the hospital with Trey…"
"Mom wanted me here, thought you could use some support."
"Well, that's awfully nice of her and you." Anthony smiles widely. "But dad's got it under control."
"Oh, okay then…" Katie starts to leave.
"Katie?" She turns to face him. "How about a match next week?" The crowd pops.
"Against…"
"Maybe, our Women's champion, Nyx Rosewood?" The crowd goes nuts.
"Sounds good."
"Make me proud, rest up." Anthony says.
"I will dad." She skips out, and Anthony can't help but smile.
Ringside:
"So, Katie vs Nyx next week huh?" Jase says.
"I'd be honored, yet scared, cause the New Shield... " Velocity says.
"We'll have to wait a week for that, but up next, Matt Lopez returns! He is taking on Jason Malice, who had a less than successful debut last week, against the opponent he was paired with…" Velocity says.
"Yep, the giant goliath, Inigo Tikbalang, who decided not to show up this week, but Anthony has said if he doesn't show next week, he can say goodbye to his UWA run." JJ says.
"That's a bit harsh…"
Resistance to Resilience by Reluctant Hero plays, and the audience is delighted to see Matt Lopez.
"God, does anyone just look at him and see the same look from Ultimania a year ago?" JJ asks.
"Yeah, when he was facing David Knot, it was brutal, and I am very happy to see him back!" Jase says.
Crazed laughter echoes through the arena and The Toy Master plays, over a pop as Jason Malice makes his way to the ring.
"The crowd is delighted to see him come back after losing to that giant of a man Inigo." Jase points out.
"Very true, normally someone wouldn't want to come back, but he apparently went to Anthony and said quote 'I want another chance here, that was an unfair fight, putting me against Goliath with me as David!' to which Anthony responded, 'let's make it a David vs David fight then', before making this match official!" JJ says.
Jason enters the ring and makes eye contact with Matt. The two separate into their corners, and get ready to fight it out.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Jason side-skips his way around the ring, while Matt just circles him. Matt charges first, but Jason steps back and laughs, wagging his finger as well. Matt chuckles, but Jason takes advantage, and kicks Matt in the stomach, then hitting him with an uppercut. Matt staggers through the ropes. Matt hits the announce table, and Jason slides out after him. Matt somehow lifts him up, and goes to slam him through the table, but Jason slips out, and drop kicks Matt, who goes flying over the table into JJ.
All the headsets get cut off.
Matt struggles to get through all the wires on the side of the table, and Jason comes around, forcing Matt to his feet. He rolls him back into the ring, and covers him for a quick one count. Jason immediately goes for a side headlock.
The headset situation is slowly being fixed.
"Is this thing on?" Jase says. "Well if it is, Matt just got tossed over our announce desk, and JJ was taken out in the process. I think he'll be okay, he's just a bit shaken."
Matt gets up using the ropes, and counters a right hand by Jason into a snap DDT.
"That was brutal!" Velocity says, his headset coming back on.
Jason pops back up somehow, and is met with a discus clothesline from Matt! Matt gets on the apron.
"Are we going to see it?" Jase says.
Matt goes for the From Mexico With Pain once Jason gets up, but he gets caught with a Sudden Death Superkick in the air! Matt is then hit with a Laid To Rest! The crowd is shook as Jason covers.
"One… Two… Three!"
Ding! Ding! Ding!
"Well, Jason just dominated that match, not a good homecoming for Matt…" Jase says, obviously disappointed.
"Well, Matt did put in an effort, Jason was just too much tonight."
"Well, I'm okay guys, but earlier tonight, he approached Anthony, willing to jump through 'any hoops' to get a shot at the UWA title again, and up next, Samuel takes on his mystery opponent!" JJ says.
Vermillion (Terry Date version) by Slipknot plays, and the crowd is mixed as Samuel makes his long entrance to the ring.
"I don't know what it is, but I feel like he is nervous going into this match."
"He sure doesn't look like it, he's got that hammer made from the wreckage of Rachel's house, so…"
He paces the ring, waiting for his opponent.
One Reason by Fade plays, and the crowd goes silent, until they finally see a man they recognize standing at the top of the entrance ramp. The crowd pops supreme levels of loud.
"NO WAY, it's…" Velocity starts.
"BEN FREAKING JONES!" JJ says delighted.
"Of all people for Anthony to pick, this has to be the last that Samuel expected.
"His? He shattered it to pieces!" Jase says.
"So, in case no one remembers, he was the final champion before Anthony handed it to Devan last week!" JJ counters.
The two men stare each other down…
"So, Anthony's bi*ch now?" Samuel smirks as he says that.
"No, just in this for myself." Ben says putting his fists up, boxing style. Samuel starts laughing…
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Ben charges Samuel, and lays a barrage of rights and left hands into all of Samuel's upper body, and his head. Ben slowly backs off due to the ref counting him for DQ, but as soon as he stops, he goes right back to it. Samuel side steps this onslaught, and laughs, laying out Ben with a step-up enziguri!
"What happened to you!?" Samuel shouts mockingly.
Ben gets up quickly, and responds by slapping Samuel across the mouth. Samuel checks his lip, to see it is bleeding. He laughs, and responds with a headbutt that makes the front row grab their heads in pain. Ben backs up, and slowly raises his head. Ben is busted open across his whole forehead. Samuel has the mark to match. The two stare each other down and Samuel charges Ben, but Ben hits a discus clothesline, which sends blood splashing everywhere!"
"JESUS CHRIST!" Velocity says, looking away.
Ben collapses into a light puddle of blood. Samuel lays on his back, laughing.
"How is that for ya lad?" He says, laughing still.
Ben gets up slowly, and Samuel uses the opportunity to kip up, and goes for the DIE! Ben bends backwards, his hair catching the blood, and bends back up to a shook Samuel. He takes advantage of the moment, lifting him up for the Three Seconds to Hell (Buddy Murphy's New finisher). He connects, but falls the wrong way, and doesn't manage to make the cover. Ben crawls for the ropes, and gets up, but turns around into the DIE!
"HOW DID HE-..." JJ is shook.
Samuel laughs, and covers.
"One… Two… Three!"
Ding! Ding! Ding!
"Well, after all that, Samuel is going to face the loser of Escobar vs Devan later tonight! I cannot wait to see that." Jase says.
Samuel smiles as blood pours down his face. The doctor comes in, and starts to clean his face, but Samuel pushes him away, and leaves the arena.
Ben is slow to get up, but after taking a rag from the doctor to clean his face, he walks out under his own power.
"The officials are cleaning up the arena, and dear god, what the hell..." JJ says.
The officials take a good ten minutes to clean the ring.
"The ring is cleaned as we return here, but coming up next, he laid out the challenge, and it was answered, Dan Riley, with the Saint Brothers at ringside, defends the UW championship against Furno Moxley who will have the other men of the new shield, Raptor Reigns and Aiden Black respectfully in his corner, that match, is next!"
Help is on the Way plays, and the crowd pops as Dan Riley enters the ring, with the Saint Brothers to either side of him.
"There he is! The LEADER of Cobra Club, DAN RILEY!" JJ says.
"I'm excited to see our TWO TIME UWA CHAMP back in action, especially with the UW championship on his shoulder." Jase says.
"I hope the evening of the odds thing helps." Velocity says.
"Disrespectful having the champ enter first…" JJ points out begrudgingly.
The three men stand in the ring, and do the Hiss Off to each other, and share a laugh.

THE NEW SHIELD!
R,R,R plays, and the crowd boos the New Shield's, Furno Moxley, as he is flanked by Aiden Black and Raptor Reigns.
"Being handed a UW championship shot here tonight by Dan Riley, and he's hoping to claim his first title in his first match here!" JJ says.
Dan stares down his challenger, and Furno stands his ground with Raptor and Aiden on the outside of the ring, ready to move if a wrong move is made.
Dan hands the official his UW championship, and he holds it up for the audience.
The two back into their corners with their backup behind them.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Dan moves forward, and Furno meets him in the middle for a lock up. Dan gets the upper hand early with a side headlock, and Furno is caught in it. He pushes Dan towards the ropes, and pushes off. Dan runs the ropes, and Furno goes prone as Dan hops over him. Dan rebounds and hits a jumping bionic elbow!
"Well, he is the man of a million moves…" JJ says.
Dan then falls to his back with a senton over Furno's chest. He covers for a one count.
Furno slowly gets to his feet, but Dan quickly makes sure Furno can't get any momentum and kicks him right back to his back. Dan goes to the top rope, and looks for a Frog Splash, but Raptor and Aiden distract him, and Dan decides to jump into Aiden, and take him out instead. Raptor goes to make the save, but is jumped by Ricky and Tommy! The crowd cheers as they beat him down. Aiden is down for the count, as Dan gets back in the ring, but Furno is there to meet him with a Conflagaration. He goes to hit it, but Dan lifts Furno with some strength, and drops him nearly head first onto the canvas! The crowd ohhs at how brutal it looks, but are ohhing more at the fact that Furno immediately gets back up from it.
"There is no way!" Jase says.
Furno stands his ground and Dan doesn't know how to react. Furno immediately kicks Dan in the stomach, then smacks him across the face. He Irish whips Dan off the ropes, and catches him with a Samoan Drop! The crowd is still shocked that he's able to do it after a brutal move.
"Dan is shook." JJ says as Dan rolls out of the ring.
Dan gathers the Saint Bros together, and they talk in a huddle for a moment.
Dan doesn't know how to fight anyone like Furno Moxley!" Velocity says proudly.
Dan gets back in the ring slowly, and Furno meets him in the middle for another lock up! Furno gets the advantage, and tackles Dan to the mat. The boos are deafening as Furno tightens the pressure around Dan's neck.
The crowd starts slowly clapping to get Dan back into the match, and Dan slowly gets to his feet, but Furno snaps his neck back and Dan falls hard. Furno then lifts him up with a deadlift suplex. The crowd ohhs and Dan starts crawling. Furno goes to run the ropes, but he is tripped by Tommy Saint! The crowd cheers, and the ref doesn't see anything. Furno pleads with the ref, and the brothers stand back, before being jumped by Raptor and Aiden (who just regained himself). Furno turns to finish his move, but Dan pops him up with a Reverse Neckbreaker! Dan covers.
"One… Two… Thr- "Aiden makes the save, but the match ends in a DQ.
Ding! Ding! Ding! (x3)
Dan is assaulted by Aiden, Raptor and Furno once he gets up. Aiden and Furno lift him up, and Raptor grabs him by the legs, and they lift him up for a triple powerbomb! They stand over Dan! Tommy and Ricky are laid out on the outside.
Notorious plays, and Anthony comes out.
"Okay, so you all have made your run at two of my greatest UWA stars, and one of their stablemates, so… next week, we'll have the 'Cobra Club' take on 'The New Shield' in a six man tag team match!" The crowd pops.
"He's gonna be like Teddy Long making these tag team matches isn't he?" JJ laughs.
"Possibly, but that's a good match in itself! I cannot wait!" Jase says.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this just came through, Anthony has made a few matches official for May-Day, it'll be a triple threat tag team match with the Freelancers defending their tag team belts against the Demon Warriors, and the New Shield! I personally cannot wait to see that one!" Velocity says.
"And also, the Contract In The Cage Returns, with 6 men planned to compete, with a contract that guarantees them a UWA championship match anytime they choose. They will be revealed come May-Day in a couple of weeks! I cannot wait!" Velocity says.
"Well ladies and gentlemen, if you made it here, you are in for a treat! It is MAIN EVENT time, with Devan putting up his hand given UWA title against Freddy Escobar in a match that will definitely be in the running for Match of the Season by the end!" Jase says.
"It will be, and Anthony has taken STRICT measures to make sure that the New Shield does NOT interfere in this match, it'll just be champion vs challenger!" Velocity points out.
POWER by Kanye West plays, and the crowd is very delighted to see the Prince, Freddy Escobar.
"Welcome back Freddy Escobar! The former leader of Monarchy, he is definitely on a mission here tonight!" Jase says.
"He has been a UW champion, and was a man definitely proving himself before UWA went under last year…" JJ says, clearing his throat.
"He laid out the challenge last week, and Devan accepted earlier this week, both men have been prepping themselves in very unorthodox ways." Velocity says.
"With Escobar in the ring, let's bring out his opponent." JJ finishes.
The crowd cheers loud in excitement. The lights go out, and the cheers get louder. The tron shows Devan's name as We Don't Have To Dance begins to echo through the arena. Devan slowly walks out, the UWA title over his shoulder.
"He was hand-picked by Anthony to be the UWA champion! He's got a lot to prove going into his UWA debut match against a veteran of the company in Freddy Escobar." Velocity says.
"We are all looking forward to this, now let's go to the ring, and watch this epic clash!" JJ says.
The two men stare into each other's eyes, not knowing how to react. The crowd is chanting "This is Awesome!" already, and the two men look around the arena. The official takes the UWA title from Devan and holds it up for the crowd to see. Escobar and Devan back into their respective corners, and the ref hands the belt to the timekeeper. He stands between the two, and calls for the bell.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The crowd cheers as the two men circle each other!
"UWA! UWA! UWA!" The crowd chants. The two men lock up, and Escobar gets the upper hand, going behind Devan. He tries to force him to the mat, but Devan twists the left arm of Escobar to escape it. Devan pushes his shoulder into Escobar's, and Escobar falls to a knee. Devan twists the arm even more, but Escobar rolls through, and kips up, taking Devan to the mat in the process. The crowd applauds.
"I'm surprised at the technical approach taken to start this match." Jase says.
Escobar runs the ropes, and goes to grab Devan's head and send it crashing to the mat, but Devan side-steps. Escobar rolls through, and the two stand against the ropes opposite each other. The crowd once again applauds the two.
Devan is taken aback by Escobar, he is nothing that he expected.
Devan takes a moment, and Escobar takes that moment to charge Devan, and Irish Whip him across the ring. Devan rebounds, and gets caught with a spin kick to the gut. Escobar runs the ropes, thinking about the KingSlayer, but Devan lifts him up with the intention of hitting his Shoten Furi, but Escobar elbows out, and goes to deliver a high knee, but Devan shoves that away, and hits a roundhouse kick to Escobar's skull, sending him into a daze. Devan takes advantage, and sets him up for the Shoten Furi, he connects! The crowd pops and Devan covers.
"One… Two… Thr- "Escobar kicks out, and the crowd ohhs.
"I thought Escobar was done for there!" JJ says.
"What a match this is!" Jase says.
Escobar slowly gets to his feet, and Devan goes for the Free Kick, Escobar ducks this time, and turns around, lifts Devan on his shoulders, and does a 360 with him up there, and points Devan's head to the mat. He falls to his knees, and connects with the Royal Decree!
"What a DECREE! ESCOBAR IS ABOUT TO BE UWA CHAMP!" Velocity says.
Escobar goes full Undertaker, putting Devan's hands over his chest, and sticking out his tounge. The crowd counts loud.
"One… Two… Thre- "Devan somehow gets his shoulder up, and a hush goes over the crowd!
"Escobar has put many men away with that move, and Devan just kicked out. Escobar steps into the corner closest to him, and lines up Devan. Devan starts crawling. Escobar runs and goes to hit the Kingslayer, but Devan pops him up, and lays him out with a one-handed rock bottom! Devan then hits a running senton, crushing the Prince between his weight and the mat. Devan then sits Escobar up methodically, and goes for his Death From Nowhere. Escobar lays back, but still takes a moonstomp!
"Well, either way Escobar was screwed… wait!"
Escobar rolls Devan up, using his own momentum against him.
"One…... two… Thre- "Devan rolls through, and Escobar comes up clutching his ribs. Devan crawls to his feet, but Escobar kicks his legs out from under him, and connects with a brutal KingSlayer! The crowd pops, but Escobar can't cover right away.
"He's hurt, but he's still fighting!" Jase says.
Escobar scrambles to the cover.
"One… Two… Thre- "The ref notices Devan's other leg is on the bottom rope. The crowd ohhs, and Escobar gets up, pleading with the official. Devan takes this time to get to his feet. Escobar stops pleading, but turns right into Devan's arms. Escobar struggles to get out, as his ribs are really in pain. He gives up, and Devan finally hits the Shoten Furi once again! The crowd is silent, and Devan covers, staring down the hard-camera.
"One… Two… Three!" The crowd can't even pop.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
"Good god, what a war, considering this is only show 2. Hell of an effort from Escobar, but he falls just short in an AMAZING title match!" Jase says.
Devan is handed his title, and he sits next to his fallen opponent. He gets to a knee, and helps Escobar to his feet. Escobar clutches his ribs, and Devan offers his hand. Escobar takes it, and Escobar holds his arm up. Devan smiles and looks at Escobar…
He lays him out with the title!
The boos are deafening! Devan sticks his tongue out, and mocks Freddy by holding up the Monarchy M with his hands and his arm supporting the UWA title. The show ends with Devan walking to the back.
A/N: DEVAN, WHY!? See you all next week!
