Before the show…
The scene opens with Evan Neal arriving at his office. He steps inside and sets his stuff down on the desk. Evan turns around… and is immediately grabbed and pinned against the wall!
Evan shrieks and covers his face! He slowly opens them to reveal Rey Aguayo and Jesus Garza, who's lifting him in the air and pinning him against the wall.
Evan: "Hey! Wait a minute-"
Jesus: "You have five seconds to tell us where Helmsley is, ese!"
Evan: "Hold on-"
Jesus tosses Neal on his desk. They begin to swarm him as he backs against the desk!
Evan: "You-You-You can't be attacking your boss like this-"
Jesus: "You ain't our "boss", ese! We work for The Queen of the South! And she wants Helmsley's head delivered to her! So you're gonna tell us where they are or else we'll take her YOUR head instead!"
Evan: "Okay okay okay! I'm-I'm honest when I said he isn't here! But I'll give you the rest of Legacy tonight! Rey, you can get Flair! Jesus, you got Dozer! Just please don't hurt me! I bruise easily!"
Rey and Jesus look at each other and nod. "The Shooter" lets him go and leaves the office. Neal lays there whimpering as the intro plays.

I'll fight my way out of any confrontation
(The camera pans right into the hooded person, who's standing over a mountain of bloody men. The person removes the hood and looks up to reveal herself as Sofia Reynoso, who gives a knowing wink, before we pan around her to reveal the entire ICW Roster. The ICW Battleground logo then explodes onto the screen as everyone lunges at each other to fight)
The screen cuts to the ICW Arena, aka the Frank C. Ewrin Center in Austin, Texas, where pyro goes off on stage! The lights come on, showing the fans cheering and ready for the show.
Jazz: "WELCOME BACK, EVERYONE, TO ICW BATTLEFIELD! We are just a few short days away from our next TV Special, Warzone: Steel City Showdown from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, where Mark Jacobs will defend his ICW Heavyweight Championship for the second time against 'The Ace of Pro Wrestling' Jason Sabre! But before that, we have a stacked Battlefield coming our way! As always, I am Jazz Conway, joined by Jay Masters!"
Jay: "It's getting tense, Jazz! I can feel the hostilities growing from all directions! I watched Warzone, and I saw all of the madness that took place! So I only KNOW what will happen here!"
Jazz: "Well, we did receive word that we have a pair of matches pitting Legacy against La Rebelion as Rey Aguayo faces off against Sebastian Flair! While Big Van Dozer makes his ICW singles debut against Jesus Garza! On top of that, Mateo Guerrero will be making his singles debut as he looks for revenge by taking on The Kyoshi Warrior! But right now, let's kick things off with our opening match: Revolution VS…"
Jay: "Double D.R.S! Oh I can't wait for this one!"
Demons (by Imagine Dragon) plays to quiet boos with a sprinkle of cheers. Out walks Rey Cobra & Seth Mercer, arm-in-arm with a disgusted Danielle Rose! They help her in the ring and try to get her to do the "E! R! S!" chant but with her letter. However, Danielle wanted no part of this and scurried to the corner.
"The following contest is a Six-Person Tag Team Match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first: Danielle Rose, Ray Cobra, and Seth Mercer' they are D.R.S!"
Jazz: "Danielle Rose made her first Battlefield appearance last week, and already her attitude got her in a world of trouble. Now she's forced to team with these two against one of the most dominant rising units in the history of ICW!"
Jay: "I don't know what voodoo magic Ray and Seth did to pull Danielle Rose! But if nothing else, she brings more assets and style to ICW!"
The Revolutions signal goes off to a HUGE pop from the crowd! Unstoppable (by Motionless in White) begins to play, and out walks all of Revolution! Ava, Christian, and a camera-wielding Clay were all dressed to fight. While Sai… dressed the same all the time. They all march to the ring with Clay filming some fans wearing their merch.
"Introducing their opponents, accompanied to the ring by Sai Russo: 'Ava Knight, Clay Marrow, & Christian McIntyre' REVOLUTION!"
Jazz: "Last week, Revolution made their intentions loud and clear: They want the ICW Heavyweight Championship regardless of who that champion will be at the end of the upcoming title match! But it does appear that they're not the only ones with their eyes set on that title!"
Jay: "I agree. It seems like EVERYONE has their eyes set on Mark VS Jason, including Holiday Promotions, Will Ralston, and even Azriel himself! But Revolution might be the greatest threat to whoever the champion might be!"
The bell rings with Ray & Christian starting! Ray tries to hype up a power battle with McIntyre by calling for a test of strength! Christian looks at Rey holding up his arms…and DECAPITATES him with a Lariat! He immediately went to the ground & pound, bashing Rey's head in! Seth tries to run in for the save, but Christian grabs him by the neck and throws him into the corner! And he starts wailing at Mercer! Danielle watched on in shock & awe! Until Clay Marrow approached her with his camera. "Hey Danielle… how bout you pose for the Revolution?"
Jazz: "What…is Clay doing?"
Jay: "WHO CARES!? CHRISTIAN IS MAULING THESE GUYS!"
As Jay said, Christian was now beating both men in the corner at the same time! He used Rey's weight and BASHES him into Seth! Meanwhile, Clay pulls out a Revolution crop top and gives it to Danielle! Rey Cobra calls for a tag, but Danielle was too occupied with Clay and putting on the top! Christian then grabs Seth and Powerbombs him onto Ray multiple times! Danielle then starts posing and doing a little strip tease with the shirt! All to Marrow's enjoyment! Meanwhile, Ava sees all this…and is NOT HAPPY! She calls for Christian and sticks out her hand. Christian glances at what Clay is doing, then back at Ava. He drops Seth on Rey one last time, walks over, and tags in Ava! She walks in and goes up to Danielle. Danielle doesn't notice her, but Clay's smile quickly vanishes. He realizes he's in deep trouble and slowly backs away!
Jay: "Oh…oh no…Ava is angry!"
Jazz: "Y'know… I don't blame her. Danielle had this coming."
Danielle sees Clay backing away and asks him what's wrong! Before he could respond, Ava yanks Danielle by her hair into the ring! And she starts beating the makeup off of Danielle's face! Danielle tries to roll out, but Ava slides out and SMASHES her face against the announce table! Danielle repeats this MULTIPLE times as the crowd loved it! Ava keeps smashing her head while glaring at Clay! "You get here and film THIS" she demands and Clay obliges. She rolls Danielle back in, as "The Stunning Rose" tries to crawls away. But Ava pulls her back to the center and lifts her up into a Snap German Suplex! Danielle rolls to the corner, where Rey & Seth weakly pull her out of the ring!
Jay: "How noble of them to help Danielle off her feet and to safety!"
The two carry Danielle and tries to leave! But Sai casually blocks their escape! Ava sees Clay back in the right corner and tags him in! Ava points to them while glaring at Clay! Clay nods sadly before Leaping to the top rope. He looks at his camera and says "I'm sorry!" then ropewalks into a Moonsault! This knocks out all of D.R.S! Clay rolls Seth back in and tags Christian. Seth climbs up, Christian lifts Seth, and they hit the Red Rain (Powerbomb (Christian)/Moonsault into a Shiranui (Clay))! Christian places a hand on Seth's chest for the cover!

"Here are your winners: REVOLUTION!"
Jazz: "Short. Sweet. And to the point. Another win for Revolution!"
Jay: "Hold on, Jazz! I don't think Revolution is done yet!"
Despite being victorious, Ava wasn't satisfied. She rolls out and grabs Danielle, tossing her back in the ring. Ava picks her up and drops her with Knightfall (Cross Legged Package Piledriver)! Ava glares at Clay as Revolution all stand in the ring! Clay apologizes to her as she is handed the mic. Ava calms down then turns to face the crowd.
Ava: "Ladies and gentlemen. We are Revolution."
The crowd cheers! "REVOLUTION" chants starts breaking out.
Ava: "What you just saw…. Was nothing more than a warm-up. A distraction…" she glares back at Clay who sheepishly stands there. "-from our current objective." She turns back to the hardcam. "We did not come here tonight because of those distractions. Tonight, Revolution are here for one reason only… and that's to stand face-to-face with Jason Sabre and the ICW Heavyweight Champion, Mark Jacobs!"
The crowd all cheered with excitement!
Ava: "So lads, Revolution is calling you two out! And until you two come to this ring… we'll be staying right here in this ring!"
The Revolution chants continue while they wait in the ring…
((Ad Break))
We return backstage with Brandon Andrews standing outside Mark Jacobs's door.
Brandon: "I'm trying to get a word with The ICW Heavyweight Champion, Mark Jacobs about what Revolution said! But so far I have yet to receive any response from the champion!"
Brandon knocks on the door again. Finally, it swings open revealing a pissed off Mark Jacobs.
Mark: "WHAT! THE HELL! DO YOU WANT!?"
Brandon: "Uh..well- recently, Revolution publicly called you and Jason out to the ring-"
Mark: "Oh Revolution! How could I forget that the all powerful Revolution summoned me! My goodness, it's almost like I don't GIVE A DAMN!"
Mark takes a breather as Brandon stands there awkwardly.
Mark: "Let me make this abundantly clear: NO ONE tells me what to do! Not Neal, not Espinoza, damn sure not Sabre, and especially no one from Revolution! I go where I want when I feel like it because I'm the Heavyweight Champion! I'm THE Bane of Existence! And there's not a person alive who's gonna do anything about it!"
Mark slams the door in Brandon's face. Brandon stands there awkwardly as the screen cuts to Revolution still in the ring, having watched everything unfold on the titantron. Christian was slowly getting pissed off while Sai… is laying against the corner. Clay turns to Ava, who smirks at what she just heard.
But then Weight of my Pride (by Pay Money to my Pain) plays to a HUGE ovation! The beginning instrumentals kick in as the lights shift from blue & yellow. As we near the lyrics, smoke shot up from the sides of the stage and there stood Jason Sabre dressed in jeans and shirtless with his custom "Ace of Pro Wrestling" jacket! He stares directly at all of Revolution in the ring.
Jazz: "We may not get Mark Jacobs, but this is even better! Jason Sabre has answered the call, and he's about to face-off with Revolution!"
Jay: "This isn't a good idea from The Ace! So soon from his title match as well! Revolution is like nothing he's seen before!"
He takes a moment to soak up the reception and survey the crowd. He walks down the ramp occasionally slapping hands as the lights are dimmed and the spotlight follows him. He then looks back at Revolution in the ring. The music dies down as Jason climbs on the apron. He stares down all of them… and all four of them stare down Jason. He steps in the ring as "HOLY SHIT" chants break out. Jason smirks and pulls out a mic from his jacket. He turns to the crowd, goes to talk…
But Ava blocks his mic with her hand! The crowd was SHOCKED! Sabre closes it and slowly turns to face her. And Ava just smiles.
Ava: "Jason Sabre…. With all due respect, I didn't call you out for a verbal battle. I called you out here to introduce someone very important… someone you may face against real soon: 'The Bloodborne' Christian McIntyre!"
Ava & Clay all step aside as Christian stands face-to-face with Jason. Sai remained on the corner watching all of this. Sabre's smile went away as he stared down The Bloodborne. Sabre soon drops his mic and slowly takes off his leather jacket! Christian rips off his shirt to a big pop! Jason takes off his shirt to a big pop! Crowd waits with anticipation to see who throws the first punch!
Neal: "NO! NO! NO! HOLD ON! HOLD ON!"
Everyone boos as Evan Neal appears on-stage looking frantic! Jason and Christian keep staring each other down.
Neal: "We are NOT doing this! Not here! Not tonight! I refuse to put Steel City Showdown in jeopardy because you two can't keep your egos in check!"
Jason, without breaking eye contact with Christian, grabs a mic.
Jason: "...Who wants to see Jason Sabre go one-on-one with Christian McIntyre?"
BIG pop from the crowd! Those cheers soon turn into "YES" chants. Evan looks around and shakes his head.
Neal: "Well I DON'T! And what I say, GOES! And I say…since you're so eager to fight, Jason Sabre, I'll give you a chance to fight tonight!" He smirks. "And your opponent… will be of MY choosing!"
The crowd boos, but again Jason still keeps his gaze on Christian!
Jason: "Great. Then pick Christian and let's get to fighting!"
Crowd immediately goes nuts again! Christian's blood was boiling at this point as he tried to keep himself together. But Sabre wasn't backing down!
Neal: "Did you NOT just hear me!? I said you are NOT fighting Christian!"
Sabre finally had enough and turned towards Evan.
Jason: "Well why don't you pick yourself and let me fight you for control! Then I can stomp you out and then I'LL choose Christian as my opponent!"
The crowd LOVES this idea as "WHOOP HIS ASS" chants break out! Evan tries to cover his ears.
Neal: "That's not how this is gonna work! I make the Neal Deal! What I say go! And I will pick your opponent for tonight- NOT NAMED CHRISTIAN MCINTYRE- and that's FINAL!"
Evan storms to the back to loud boos. Sabre watches Evan leave before turning back to Christian. He looks at all of Revolution before looking back at Christian one more time.
Sabre: "Christian McIntyre… Revolution… I'll be seeing you soon."
Sabre drops the mic and exits the ring. Christian breathes heavily as Clay tries to calm him down. They all watch as Jason exits up the ramp while slapping hands with the fans.
Jazz: "Oh man that was tense! One slight movement and who knows what would've happened!"
Jay: "Thank goodness Mr. Evan Neal was there to contain the situation and sign a big match for tonight: Jason Sabre VS an opponent of his choosing!"
Jazz: "I don't know how fair that will be, but Sabre is one to never back down from a challenge! Coming up next, we will see Sebastian Flair go one-on-one with Rey Aguayo!"
((Ad Break))
That's All She Wrote (by TI featuring Eminem) plays to a good pop! From the La Rebelion walkway, out rushes Rey Aguayo! He storms through the crowd and heads straight for the ring. Rey climbs up and does the machine gun taunt before raising his fist.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, representing La Rebelion, from Tijuana, Mexico, standing 6'4" & weighing in at 238 lbs: 'The Shooter' REY AGUAYO!"
Jazz: "La Rebelion are out for blood! Especially after the chaos that went down last week! They wanted Christopher Helmsley, but he apparently isn't here tonight! So instead Rey gets his hands on Sebastian Flair!"
Jay: "What do you mean by 'apparently,' Jazz?! It's obvious Helmsley isn't here for his own health & safety! He had a big debut win last week, and now they're putting a hit out on him?! This man's DNA built wrestling to what it is today, and they would rather see that same blood pouring out onto the streets! And we can't afford for his lineage to end!"
As Rey paces in the ring, the instrumentals to Lo Horsemen (by Smoke DZA) begin to play to terrible boos! And out struts Sebastian in a blue and white feathered robe! He does a little spin to show off his robe, revealing the words "LEGACY" on the back. Aguayo watched as Flair struts to the ring and steps inside. Flair does another spin before letting out a "WOOOOO!"
"Introducing his opponent, representing Legacy, from Charlotte, North Carolina, standing 6'2" & weighing 230 lbs: 'The Natural' SEBASTIAN FLAIR!"
Jazz: "This isn't Sebastian's first match in ICW. The last time we saw him was in a losing effort against CJ Hawk. Now, he's returned alongside the group of egomaniacs and looks to rebound himself at the expense of 'The Shooter'"
Jay: "Son of the Dirtiest Player in the Game! He is back to right the wrongs set multiple weeks ago! First was Phoenix, and now Aguayo will suffer from the influence of Legacy!"
Before Sebastian could even get his robe off, Rey rushes him and knocks Flair to the corner! The bell rings as Aguayo beats him down to a pop! Rey rips the robe off of Flair and stomps him down! He picks Flair up and whips him across the ring! Rey runs, but Sebastian moves away. Rey lands in the corner and Flair chops him in the chest! The crowd "WOOOs" …while Rey just looked at him stupid! He shakes his head at Flair and Chops him to the ground! Sebastian clutches his chest and rolls away from Aguayo! Sebastian was slow to get up. Rey lifts him and applies a Side Headlock. Sebastian pushes him to the ropes and Whips him across. Sebastian drops prone…and Rey quickly attempts the Cero Escape (Gargano Escape)! The crowd gets excited, but Sebastian scrambles to the ropes before he can lock it in! The crowd boos as Flair rolls out cowardly.
Jazz: "A hot start by Rey Aguayo as he stands his ground in the ring against Sebastian!"
Jay: "A hot start!? It was more like an unprovoked assault! Flair was clearly not ready for any of this!"
Sebastian calls for a time out as he gets himself together. But Rey says "F**k that" before he rolls out, grabs Flair, and Chops the skin off his chest! But Sebastian knees Rey's gut and hits return chops of his own! The referee continues to count as both men keep Chopping the shit outta each other's chest! They continue to trade strikes while circling the entire ringside area! Finally, once the count reaches nine, they both slide back in the ring! They crawl back up… and resume chopping each other! The crowd grows louder with each Chop! But Rey takes the advantage and Chops Flair back against the corner! He then unleashes a flurry of machine gun Chops to Sebastian's chest and turns it bright red! He whips Flair across to the opposite corner. Sebastian flops up and over to the apron, where he sprints across and climbs up top. Rey sees him and catches him with yet another Chop! With Flair stunned, Aguayo climbs up, hooks the arm, and hits a Superplex into a Falcon Arrow! Rey makes the cover!

2! KICKOUT!
Jazz: "Despite Sebastian kicking out at two, Ms. Espinoza has to be loving the beating Rey is handing Sebastian right now!"
Jay: "Rey's trying to cave his chest in, Jazz! And to think Espinoza would be proud of this… Neal has to be beside himself for being forced to make this match!"
Rey picks Flair up and Chops him again. He turns Flair around and grabs the waist. Rey hits a Single German Suplex! He hits a Double! And he attempts the Triple German, but Sebastian holds on to the ropes! The referee tries to pull Aguayo away, and this allows Flair to poke him in the eyes! Rey stumbles back rubbing his eyes then eats a Chop Block from Sebastian! Sebastian grabs on and follows up with a Dragon Screw! Rey shouts in pain as Sebastian begins to smile. He holds Rey's leg down and hits an Elevated Knee Drop onto it! Rey crawls away to clutch his leg. Sebastian drags Rey's leg, rolls out, and slams it around the ring post repeatedly! Rey let's put a scream as Flair "WOOOs" to boos! He goes to do it again, but Rey kicks Sebastian with his good foot! He then pulls his legs back and sends his head into the post! Sebastian was stunned. Rey pulls up on his good leg and climbs to the top. He hits the Diving Front Flip Senton on Sebastian! Flair was down, but Rey grabbed his leg in agony!
Jazz: "Rey is fighting on one leg right now, and he still takes down Flair!"
Jay: "Rey is in deep agony, Jazz! Any action he does will further damage his bad leg!"
Both men were slow to rise. But the crowd rallies Rey to get up first. He barely drags Sebastian up but rolls him in the ring. Rey weakly climbs on the apron. When Flair gets up, Rey attempts to Slingshot. And he eats a Superkick and goes down to the floor! Sebastian rolls out, grabs Rey, and slams him against the barricade! Flair taunts the crowd by kicking Rey in front of them! He then lifts up and hits the Knee Breaker onto the apron! Rey lays there grabbing his knee and leg! Sebastian rolls in, drags Rey up, and hits the Rope Hung Piledriver! Flair drags him in and hooks the leg

..KICKOUT!
Jazz: "For Rey to kick out of being dropped on his head shows the toughness and unbreakable will power he has!"
Jay: "Either way, Sebastian Flair has changed the dynamic of this match! Systematically breaking down Rey Aguayo!"
Sebastian drags Rey to the center. He applies the Single Leg Boston Crab on the bad leg! Rey struggles from the pain as Flair synches on deep! The crowd all rallied behind Rey as he tried to move. He slowly rolls over to his back and kicks Flair away. He tries to stand as Sebastian Chops him across the chest! Rey leans against the ropes as Sebastian Chops him again. The Irish Whip follows, but Rey counterwhips and hits Flair with a Spinning Spinebuster! The pain shoots up Rey's leg, but Aguayo still powers to his feet! Chants of "SHOOTER" fill the arena. Sebastian stumbles up and goes to swing, but Rey ducks it and hits two German Suplexes! Flair counters the third with a Snapmare, sending Rey to the corner. Sebastian runs, but he gets caught with the Reverse STO to the middle turnbuckle! Flair stumbles back. Rey leaps up and hits the Ace Crusher to The Natural! Rey hooks the leg!

..KICKOUT!
Aguayo gets to one foot and signals for the Tres Amigos (The Exploder Suplex, followed by the Brainbuster, followed by a Falcon Arrow in one continuous motion). He goes for the Exploder, but Sebastian elbows Rey and gets free. He then chops Rey across the chest and Rey responds with a stiffer chop! The two then exchanged Chops in the ring as the crowd got to their feet! Flair suddenly kicks him in the bad leg! Rey falls to a knee. Sebastian attempts the Holy Grail (Trapped Arm Piledriver). Rey fights out, lifts him on the shoulders, and hits the Steamroller! Rey pulls himself up top… and he hits the Final Flight (Diving Double Knee Press onto a seated opponent)! Flair is down! But Rey clutches his leg in agony!
Jay: "He's too hurt, Jazz! He's in too much pain to follow up!"
Jazz: "Rey Aguayo is risking it all just to take down Legacy's Sebastian Flair!"
Rey crawls over to Sebastian. Instead of covering, he picks him up and goes for the Ultima Capitulo (Cross-Legged Fisherman Buster)! But he couldn't lift on his bad leg! Flair lands behind and hits another Chop Block! Down goes Rey! Flair grabs the leg and "WOOOs" before attempting the Figure Four! But Rey grabs him in a small package..right into the Cero Escape! Sebastian crawls and tries to reach out! But Rey has him locked in tight! Sebastian tries to fight out… And ends up tapping out!
Jazz: "It's over! Sebastian taps! Rey wins it!"
The crowd pops huge… Except th3 referee didn't see it! Rey looks over and sees him arguing with Angelica Rhodes on the apron!
Jay: "He didn't see it! And it's all thanks to The American Princess!"
Rey lets go and crawls to his good knee. Everyone chants "HE TAPPED OUT" as Aguayo targets Angelica! She hops down and backs off as the ref tells her off some more. But behind them, Flair rolls up and low blows Aguayo! The crowd reacted negatively as Flair followed up with the Excalibur (Wristlock into a Jumping High Knee)! Sebastian turns the ref around, grabs Rey, and drops him with the Nature's Wrath (Cross-Armed Package Piledriver)! Flair hooks the leg!

"Here is your winner: SEBASTIAN FLAIR!"
Jay: "The Natural doin what comes natural to him now! And that's winning!"
Jazz: "You can chalk up the assist to Angelica Rhodes! Because the world saw Sebastian tap out!"
Jay: "It's all in your imagination, Jazz! The ref didn't see anything except Sebastian pinning Aguayo one, two, three!"
Angelica rolls in as she & Sebastian celebrate to loud boos! But then Sofia Reynoso & Jesus Garza storms in the ring carrying weapons! Rhodes & Flair quickly runs out and backs up the ramp! La Rebelion checks on Rey as Angelica & Sebastian celebrate and taunts them from the stage."
Jazz: "Sebastian & Angelica stole one tonight! But the battle between La Rebelion & Legacy isn't over because we still have Garza going against Big Van Doser later tonight!"
Jay: "And the same thing that happened to Phoenix & Rey Aguayo will happen to Jesus tonight! La Rebelion doesn't stand a chance against pure greatness in Legacy! Still to come, it's The Kyoshi Warrior taking on Mateo Guerrero."
The screen cuts to Evan Neal's office, where he's sitting at his desk with his hands folded over his face. Evan keeps staring at the TV screen, watching replays of Jason making fun of him on Warzone. But a knock on his door snaps him back to reality, and shuts off the TV.
Neal: "Please go away! What more do you want?!"
The door opens…and in walks Raptor Reigns. The sight of Raptor made Evan's face light up.
Raptor: "You asked to see me?"
Neal: "Oh Raptor! Yes! Yes! Please, come in! Have a seat."
Raptor enters the office and takes a seat.
Neal: "You know, Raptor, I have been keeping up with you for a very long time. And personally, I am so relieved you decided to finally break away from Re-Vengeance and strike out on your own."
Evan gets up and paces back and forth. Raptor just sits there and stares at him.
Neal: "You have all the tools necessary to become not just the Heavyweight Champion, but quite frankly one of the best to ever step foot in an ICW ring. It's in your DNA… you were born to be dominant! An unstoppable force! Dare I say… a chief! And I feel tonight is the night for you to break out in the best way possible… by facing Jason Sabre one-on-one tonight! Do we have a Neal Deal?"
Evan extends a hand. Raptor takes a deep breath and stands up.
Raptor: "As good as that sounds, I can't take that deal. I have something more important…and personal…I need to take care of."
Neal couldn't believe what he heard. Raptor turns and walks out, leaving him with his hand out. Evan was close to snapping… until he heard someone clearing their throat. Evan looks up to see Elijah Holiday standing there.
Elijah: "Mr. Neal! It's a pleasure to make our re-acquaintance! I heard you need some talents for tonight… and I'm here to offer up the talents of Holiday Promotions!"
Elijah smirks and shakes Evan's hand. And this puts a smile back on Neal's face. The screen fades with the two shaking hands.
((Ad Break))
When we cut back to ringside, Te Gusta O No! (by Dale Oliver) plays to a good pop. Mateo walks out to kneel on stage and bumps his chest. Red, gold, and green sparks rain down behind him. He makes his way to the ring, leaping over the ropes, and heads to the turnbuckle. Mateo climbs up and poses by beating his chest and waving his arms. He then relaxes in the corner by laying across it.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, representing La Familia, residing in San Francisco, California, standing 5'9" & weighing 201 lbs: 'El Jefe Latino' MATEO GUERRERO!"
Jazz: "Back on Warzone, Mateo was attacked backstage by CJ Hawk after his family teamed with Sabre against Mark Jacobs & Bōryoku. So now Mateo is here looking for some measure of revenge!"
Jay: "I feel for Mateo, Jazz! He's getting jumped every which way! What's worse is that his cousins refuse to do what Guerreros do best! And from my point of view, that's only making things worse!"
The lights start to dim in and out as House of the Rising Sun (by Five Finger Death Punch) plays to boos. Out walks The Kyoshi Warrior through purple smoke. He slowly heads to the ring before sliding in. He crawls to the corner, climbs up, and removes his demonic mask. Kyoshi then sprays mist in the air before backflipping to the center. He slowly turns to Mateo, who hops down from his own corner.
"Introducing his opponent, representing Bōryoku, from Fukuoka, Japan, standing 6'2" & weighing 242lbs, THE KYOSHI WARRIOR!"
Jazz: "Kyoshi Warrior made his presence felt in brutal and deadly ways upon his arrival. However, he did suffer two major setbacks: one at Warzone in the aforementioned Six-Man Tag Main Event, and another in a physical and heart pounding battle against Jason Sabre on Training Ground. If you haven't seen it, it's definitely a match you won't regret watching!"
Jay: "We were both there, Jazz! And I can tell you for certain that Kyoshi Warrior is PIIIISED after losing to Sabre twice! If I'm Mateo, I'd be praying for divine intervention AND using whatever means necessary to beat this demon!"
The bell rings as the two competitors pace around each other. They lock up, and Mateo immediately ducks behind into a waist lock. Kyoshi breaks free and ducks behind Mateo. He applies a waistlock and hits the much smaller opponent with a standing takedown. Mateo quickly rolls to the corner as Kyoshi crouches at him. Those demonic eyes stared directly into Mateo's soul. And he slowly approaches & skates around Kyoshi, not wanting to get too close. They grip each other's hand, and Mateo immediately twists the arm to flip Kyoshi on his back. Pulling the arm, he rolls Kyoshi on his stomach and goes for La Magistral!
1!
..KICKOUT!
Kyoshi just kicks out at one. They both roll up into a lock up, and Kyoshi pushes Mateo far up against the corner. He pulls back and Chops, but misses when Mateo ducks! Mateo swings and hits Kyoshi with a Chop of his own! But this only pisses off Kyoshi! He grabs Guerrero by the throat and tosses him in the corner! He attempts another chop but misses again! Mateo ducked again and Chops Kyoshi for a second time! Kyoshi just stands there, glaring death at his opponent!
Jazz: "Those Chops don't even phase Kyoshi!"
Jay: "Mateo, please! Just get out of there!"
Mateo steps back trying to reason with Kyoshi. But Kyoshi just tries to grab him. Mateo quickly ducks and grabs the waist from behind. He pushes Kyoshi to the ropes and attempts the Chaos Theory. But Kyoshi holds on to them, causing Mateo to roll backwards. He gets to his feet.. and just as Kyoshi decapitates him with a BRUTAL looking Lariat! Mateo gets folded in half! Kyoshi unfolds him, picks him up, and lets out a thunderous Chop to the chest! Mateo flies back in the corner! He tries to stand just for Kyoshi to repeatedly Chops him harder! He finally ends it with a Stiff Forearm to the jaw! Mateo just collapses right against Kyoshi.
Jazz: "My God that Forearm might've just knocked out Mateo!"
Jay: "Good Lord that was vicious! I told Mateo to get the heck outta there!"
Kyoshi looks down at Mateo before pushing him back against the corner. He then Irish Whips Mateo across to the opposite corner where Mateo lands hard. Kyoshi then goes for the Cartwheel Back Elbow, but Mateo kicks back at the last moment! Kyoshi stumbles forward holding his back. Mateo climbs up and hits a Hurricanrana! This sends Kysohi neck first into the middle ropes. Mateo gets up, runs across, and attempts the 619! But Kyoshi grabs both legs! Mateo was helpless as Kyoshi lifted him in the Gutwrench! He then hoists him up and Bucklebombs him in the corner! Mateo falls forward and walks right into a Pop-Up Standing Liger Bomb! Kyoshi wasn't done yet! He pulls Mateo to his knees, runs, and BLASTS him with the Shining Wizard! He presses Mateo's shoulders down for the cover!

"Here is your winner: THE KYOSHI WARRIOR!"
Jazz: "Mateo fought, no denying that. But this was a dominant and lopsided win for The Kyoshi Warrior!"
Jay: "I told him to leave. But Mateo wouldn't listen… he tried to fight him head on and look where it got him!"
Kyoshi rises up as the Ref tries to raise his arm. But Kyoshi scares him out of the ring before applying the Mandible Claw to Mateo! The crowd boos this, but they boo even louder when CJ & Katashi arrive at the ring! Kyoshi lets go of Mateo and holds him up! CJ rolls up his sleeves and grabs Mateo by his neck. Before it can get worse, out runs the rest of La Familia! And they make a dash right at the tag Champions to a big pop!
Jazz: "The fight is on! Freddy & Detrick are taking the fight straight to Bōryoku!"
Kyoshi tosses Mateo out of the ring and attacks Detrick! But 'The Lucha Warrior' fights back and dumps him out of the ring. Freddy then knocks Katashi to the ropes and clotheslines him out to the floor! CJ was left alone standing against Freddy and Detrick. And unlike previous times, they looked ready to beat CJ Hawk to a pulp!
Jay: "This isn't right, Jazz! It's two-on-one now!"
Jazz: "CJ had this coming! After weeks of beating up and talking down to the ones who called him a friend, it's time for them to get some payback!"
CJ gets up as Freddy & Detrick get ready to fight!
…Until the lights cut out. For about eight seconds, the crowd grew anxious as everyone sat in darkness. Suddenly, the lights come back on! And standing behind Freddy is a petite woman wearing a black & purple Hannya mask & Bōryoku tracksuit! The crowd gasps as the woman… puts Freddy in a chokehold! Detrick turns around, but CJ kicks him in the face! CJ stomps down as the mystery figure choked Freddy! She finally turns him and hits a Cross Armed Piledriver! Katashi & Kyoshi enter back in the ring as the masked assailant looks at the crowd! She reaches up to her mask and rips it off! Underneath the mask…it's Ayako Suzuki!
Jazz: "Oh no…Ayako Suzuki! The daughter of Minoru Suzuki! Katashi's cousin! A walking hellspawn of a woman! And now she's in ICW!"
Jay: "And she just dropped Freddy Escobar on his head!"
Ayako glances at Bōryoku before picking up Detrick. She hooks his arms and drops him with the same Cross-Armed Piledriver she calls the Hime-Driver! Mateo weakly rolls in and crawls to his cousins. But Ayako grabs him. She looks at Mateo…then tosses him to CJ. CJ and Katashi lift him up and hit the Double GTS! Ayako watches them drop Mateo and grabs a mic. She speaks even amidst the crowd boos!
Ayako: "I am Ayako Suzuki! And I am one true HIME-" she looks at Katashi "Of the Suzuki name!"
Katashi couldn't help but chuckle hearing this. She glares at her cousin's smirk then walks up to CJ. The two of them stared down as she calmly handed him the mic. She motions to the fallen La Familia, and CJ nods. He walks over to them, and kneels down on one knee near their heads.
CJ: "You guys get it now, don't you? These three… they're my family. Katashi, my tag partner and new best friend! Kyoshi, my hand-picked demon assassin! And Ayako… the woman I trust more than anyone in the world! And we… are… Bōryoku!"
The crowd boos and chants "YOU SUCK" at CJ. CJ stands up and places a foot specifically on Detrick's head. He kneels down once more, this time only at Detrick.
CJ: "And personally, Bōryoku is sick of dealing with all of you and your family! We haven't forgotten what you did to Katashi at Warzone, and we're ready to end this once & for all! So here's what's going to happen: We end this in Pittsburgh! Steel City Showdown! La Familia VS Bōryoku…" He looks back at Ayako. "ALL of Bōryoku! And I promise you, from the bottom of my heart, we will leave you dead and buried in the streets of Pittsburgh!"
CJ drops his mic over Detrick's body. Bōryoku all stand tall with CJ & Katashi holding up the tag titles to a LOUD chorus of boos! Katashi & Kyoshi leave the ring, followed by CJ and Ayako. Mateo, Freddy, and Detrick all lay motionless in the ring.
Jazz: "Disgusting. Just a disgusting display from CJ Hawk & Bōryoku! And now Ayako Suzuki has joined them! Will anyone stop Bōryoku!?"
Jay: "I don't know if anyone truly can! We can best believe La Familia will take the challenge and go down swinging at Pittsburgh!"
The screen cuts backstage inside a classy, black & gold locker room inside, Ced sat on one of the couches seething. Tate sat next to him scrolling on his phone. Roger Stone stood guard while their newest signee, Trey Gold, leaned against the edge of the sofa.
Trey: "Bro, who the hell does Luke Gray think he is!? First he ruins my contract signing on Warzone! AND THEN dude is walking around the parking lot, talking all the smack while begging for change!? Like..just look at this!"
He pulls out his gold case phone and replays a clip. It's of Luke Gray on Training Ground calling out Trey. Trey puts the phone in front of Ced.
Trey: "This bum-ass dude outshined me! ME! And he already thinks he's better than me!? Bro, me beating this dude is what got me signed in the first place! He ain't nothin but jealous he can't get what I got! Pop-tart headass out there while I'm nothin BUT Gold! This don't mean nothin-"
Ced: "TREY!"
Everyone looks over at Ced. He was rubbing the side of his head and looked visibly irritated.
Ced: "Shut! Up! Just shut up! For God's sake… PLEASE don't say another word!"
Trey: "My bad, man." He slowly takes a step back from the couch. And just as suddenly, he hops over and sits between Ced and Tate. "But I'm just sayin! You guys agree with me, right!?"
Trey Gold went on-and-on, to the annoyance of Ced and Tate. The door suddenly opens and in walks Elijah Holiday. Everyone stands up… until Ced "accidentally" shoves Trey back down on the couch. Elijah walks in with a smile on his face.
Elijah: "Gentlemen… we're in business! Evan Neal has signed for one of you guys to take out Jason Sabre!"
Tate, Ced, & Gold get pumped up. Stone just remained stone faced. But Elijah wasn't done.
Elijah: "That's not all. Someone else also has a proposition for us."
Elijah walks over to the door and opens it. To everyone's surprise, in walks Mark Jacobs carrying the Heavyweight Title. Roger Stone was about to attack until Elijah stopped him. Ced, however, walks straight up to Mark.
Ced: "You're either real brave or real stupid to walk in here."
Mark: He smirks and looks Ced dead in his eyes. "I'm your champion. I can go wherever I damn well please and expect you to roll out the red carpet for me."
This only pissed Ced off even more. Before anything can escalate, Elijah steps in between them. "Let's hear him out." he says calmly. Ced scoffs but steps back.
Mark: "I know someone here is fighting Sabre tonight. And I don't care who is in charge because I make the rules! So here's the deal: whoever takes Sabre out, and I'm talkin doing some real damage to him… I'll instead defend my title against them at Pittsburgh! No questions asked. I don't care how it happens, I just want him gone, and one of you will take his title opportunity."
Tate: Before anyone could answer, Tate chuckles. "But what's stopping us from taking your title right now? Especially when I have this?" He waves the Immortal Briefcase in front of him.
Mark: He did not appear bothered by Tate's threat. "Let me ask you a question… why would any one of them be okay with you jumping in front of their opportunity?"
The room went silent. Ced, Trey, and even Stone all glances at Tate. The Marvelous One backs off as Mark smirks and turns to leave.
Mark: "I don't care who it is or how it happens. Just get it done, and the match is yours. I'll be watching."
Mark exits the room while Elijah ponders his offer. The screen soon fades on all of them thinking…
((Ad Break))
We cut backstage to Jason Sabre sitting on some crates. He's taping up his wrists when he looks up and smirks.
Sabre: "Well if it isn't my favorite officiating author, Asher Darma."
As if on cue, the camera pans over to reveal Asher walking up to him. Asher smiles and gives him a hug. Sabre looks up to reveal a bitter Will Ralston standing behind with his arms folded. He looks as if he'd rather be anywhere else than here.
Asher: "Oooooh Mr. Ace of the Professional Wrestling Jason Sabre! It is so good to see you again, my friend! I was bearing witness to what you had heard from the Neals of Evan and the Promotion on Holidays. And we have agreed to offer you the protection that we present!"
Sabre: "...We?"
Asher points behind Jason. He turns around and sees all of Madison Palmer Inc. standing behind him. Jason scratches his head awkwardly.
Sabre: "I see… look, Asher. I appreciate the offer, but I think I can handle this alone."
Sabre suddenly felt someone's fingers brushing up his shoulders. He turns and sees Jade Madison, wearing an emerald green dress, feeling up his biceps."
Jade: "Allow me to introduce myself, Ace. My name is Jade Madison. And I've been keeping a very close eye on you. While I do love a strong, lean, ambitious, charismatic man… I can't help but see how much you have on your plate. I would hate for filth like Elijah Holiday to sabotage what's already the Heavyweight Champion in my eyes." She taps her fingers up and down his shoulders. "So I'm here to offer up my services any way I can. Just to help make your path a lot less stressful and a lot… more… satisfying."
Jason watched her closely. He listened to everything she was saying and doing and couldn't help but smirk.
Sabre: "Well when you put it like that-"
He was cut off when he felt a hand on his left shoulder. Jason turns and sees Clayton Palmer in a horribly bright green and yellow three-piece suit. And Sabre's smile immediately went away.
Clayton: "Jason Sabre." He takes Jason's hand and forces a handshake. "I am Clayton Palmer. I am the true brains behind this operation, and it would mean the world to us if you joined our cooperation! Now I know what you're thinking: 'What do you guys have to offer?' And I'm glad you asked! Unlike many different promotions and allegiances here, our main goal is to showcase the talents and cultures that make each person unique. I mean, where else would you see Japanese Samurais interact with a Scotsman & a best-selling Punjabi author along with an adrenaline filled Latino American?! And I couldn't think of a better fit for MPI than the man who embodies an Ace! A champion! The spokesman for unity: Jason Sabre! So what do you say… Do we have a deal? Or do we have a DEAL?"
Clayton sticks out his hand as Jade stands there visibly irritated. She goes to tell him off… until Jason stops her. But he doesn't say a word… and instead just stares at Clayton for a solid ten seconds.
Jason: "What… in the hell… are you wearing?"
Clayton: "...Huh?" He looks down at his suit.
Sabre: "You come to me, interrupting Jade Madison's wonderful business proposal, wearing what kids throw up when they eat vegetables!? Posing like an unripe banana!? Did you highlight a piece of dollar bills and think 'That's what I want to look like?' You are what you wear, and you wanted to be green with envy towards your hotter business partner!? She stands here like a glistening emerald, and you decide to match her like the jolly green giant!? What in the hell is wrong with you!?"
The rest of the guys, minus Will, did their best to hold in their laughter. Jade bit her tongue but still stood next to Sabre and shook her head at Palmer. Clayton was speechless. He didn't know how to respond except examining his suit.
Sabre: "Look. I appreciate the offer…from you, Jade. And you, Asher. And you Clayton… just look like the eco-friendliest turd Jade ever dumped. But I'll be fine on my own tonight."
Jade and Asher continue to try and convince Sabre. Until someone else spoke up…
Ralston: "This is a waste of time."
Everyone looks up to see Will lifting his head up at them.
Ralston: "If Sabre doesn't wanna accept the offer, then why bother trying to change his mind? He's always been too stubborn for his own good. And besides…"
Will walks up and looks Jason in the face.
Ralston: "When I take that Immortal Opportunity, he won't even last long with the championship… IF he can even win it."
The air grew tense as Will and Sabre stared down. Asher walks over and separates Will from Sabre. Will eventually storm off. The rest of Holiday Promotions looks at Sabre and heads off as well. Sabre winks at Jade and looks disgusted at Clayton. But he stops Asher.
Sabre: "Don't worry about me. I'll be alright. But I appreciate the offer. Just one thing though: it's okay not to be everybody's friend."
He pats Asher on the shoulder before walking off. Asher watches him leave as the scene fades…
The screen cuts back to the arena…where Hannah is standing in the ring.
Hannah: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the ring… the ICW Demolition Champion, Furno Moxley!"
Trophies of Violence (While She Sleep) plays to a HUGE ovation! The Titantron shows a burning Punisher skull, then red lights begin to flash like crazy as the Demolition Champion, Furno walks out to the stage with the title over his shoulder. After the drum part, a wolf's howl is heard, and Furno raises a finger gun with his left hand with his right hand following suit. The red lights turn white and still flash like crazy. Furno fires the two finger guns at the opponent in the ring, causing fire to explode from the turnbuckles and from the stage. He then storms to the ring with the Demolition Title flung over his shoulder.
Jazz: "The last anyone has seen or heard from Furno was when Raptor denounced himself from Re-Vengeance! And immediately after, he attacked Chris Wolf and placed him in IR for an indeterminate amount of time!"
Jay: "He snapped! Raptor abandoned him and he snapped! It's too bad that he took out all that aggression on Chris Wolf! But now… who knows who he'll target next!
Furno steps in the ring and holds up his Demolition Title! "MOXLEY" chants filled the arena, but he was no less happy. His expression appeared more pissed off than anything. Hannah soon walks up to him.
Hannah: "Furno… we all know these past few weeks have been tough for you, both physically and mentally. But arguably none more emotionally shocking than last week when Raptor decided to leave Re-Vengeance. How are you holding up… and what's next for the Demolition Kingpin?"
Furno stays quiet as the chants went from "MOXLEY" to "RAPTOR!" Furno couldn't help but laugh.
Furno: "You know what, Hannah? Raptor's a grown-ass man. If he wants to break out on his own, then let him! If he wants to leave the Brotherhood he built alongside me and Aiden? He can do whatever he wants. It's his decision… and it's one he's gonna have to live with. But no matter what happens with him, no matter how I may feel about it… he's still my Brother and he'll always be my Brother!"
The crowd actually applauded his response. Furno simply nods.
Furno: "But right now… it's just me. It's up to me to carry on Re-Vengeance! And I'm not taking any prisoners! I don't care what it takes, how much blood needs to be shed, or how broken it will leave me: it's now my mission to make this title…" he holds up the Demolition Title. "This title I've shortened so much of my life for… the most prestigious championship to own, and the toughest prize to earn! Because if you want this… you're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to leave me dead in a pool of my own blood! Because that's the only way ANYONE will take this title from me! So consider this my open invitation to anyone in the back! If you want a shot at this title… hell, if you wanna try and take a swing at me, this is your golden opportunity to step up and show how tough you are!"
Furno looks around at the crowd
Furno: "Consider this…. My Demolition Open Challenge! Tonight, I'm calling everyone out! This is my open invitation to fight anyone with this title on the line! Because rules be damned, I'm ready to inflict some pain on anyone and everyone!"
The crowd cheers as Furno holds up his title. But the good times didn't last as a wall of pyro shoots up from the stage. HEAT (by Brockhampton) plays, and out walks Dylan Torres. Dylan slowly walks down the ramp as the crowd boos him. He keeps his focus directly on Furno.
Dylan: "Furno, for a long time you've been getting on my nerves! But hearing you speak right now? I just can't take this anymore!"
As Dylan enters the ring, Hannah immediately steps out. Furno and Dylan stood face-to-face as "WE WANT NATTIE' chants filled the arena. But Dylan ignored them and continued.
Dylan: "Hearing people call you the Deathmatch Kingpin is a joke! You're not tougher than me! You never were tougher than me! And you will never be tougher than me! You think you're hardcore when it's been Aiden and Raptor who made you better! Without them, you're nothing! And I plan on showing you that by taking that Demolition Title! And when I do, you won't just be nothing… you'll be a worthless fraud!"
The crowd boos Dylan as he paces back and forth. Furno remains still as he looks at Dylan.
Furno: "Finally had the balls to step out, huh Dylan? Got tired of sitting behind Caesar, Freddy, DJ… and even Nattie?"
"WE WANT NATTIE" chants break out again. Furno looks around, nodding along, before he continues.
Furno: "To be honest, Dylan…. I couldn't give two shits about anything you just said. I didn't come out here to listen to some rabies-having bitch whine and complain to me! You wanna prove you're a mad dog and that you're tougher to me? I'm standing right here, Dylan! So take your best shot!"
Furno tosses his title down and stands there with his arms wide out. He dares for Dylan to take a swing at him! Dylan gets right up in his face… and smirks! From behind, Caesar runs in and kicks Furno in the back of the head! They jump Furno as everyone boos them out of the arena. Dylan holds up Furno by his hair and screams "WHERE'S YOUR BROTHERS, FURNO?! WHO'S GONNA HAVE YOUR BACK NOW!?"
Jazz: "A premeditated assault at the hands of Gen M! Even after Furno dared Dylan to take a swing at him!"
Jay: "Gen M is showing Furno who runs the show! And better yet, look how there's nobody coming out to save Moxley!"
Everyone boos as Dylan picks up the Demolition Title. Caesar holds Furno up by his arms, and Dylan SMASHES the title over Furno's head! The champion was knocked out! Dylan kneels down next to Furno and grabs the mic.
Dylan: "I… am the Rabid Street Dog, Dylan Torres! Steel City Showdown… I am going to take the last thing you hold dear! And then you'll see for yourself what it feels like to be left with NOTHING!"
Dylan tosses the mic and holds up the Demolition Title. All while Caesar holds up both WFA Tag Titles to a chorus of boos!
Jazz: "Dylan Torres has made the match! He wants Furno Moxley one-on-one at Steel City Showdown for the Demolition Championship! But with King Caesar by Dylan's side, how can Furno tackle all of this alone?!"
Jay: "Furno chose this! He called out everyone! And Gen M answered the call with glee! Re-Vengeance is done for! As well as Furno Moxley as the Demolition Champion!"
Jazz: "Steel City Showdown is shaping up to be a wild night with two championship matches so far! But still to come tonight, Big Van Dozer of Legacy makes his in-ring debut against La Rebelion's Jesus Garza!"
((Ad Break))
The screen cuts backstage to Jason walking down the hallway.
As Sabre heads down, he comes up towards Evan Neal's office. Before he could walk past, the door opens and out steps Ced. They both stop and look at each other tensely.
Jason: "I see…" He smirks. "Finally stepping back into the big leagues, Ced?"
Ced: He scoffs. "I never left."
Jason: "You're right. The main event scene just left you behind instead. So are you gonna step back up to me tonight? Or stand around and complain some more?"
Ced: He steps right into Jason's face. "Listen to me and listen good! I don't care how many years it's been or what you've done. You are STILL beneath me! One way or another, you're gonna be reminded of that fact! And maybe I'll remind you tonight!"
Jason: Without batting an eye, he says "I look forward to seeing you try."
With that, Sabre walks away. The screen fades on Ced getting angrier and angrier….
As we cut back to ringside, sirens start going off. We hear sounds of bombs exploding and pyro pops off on stage. In War And Pieces (by Sodom) plays. Out walks Big Van Dozer as he beats on his chest and raises his arms up. The crowd boos as he marches to the ring. He slides into the ring and climbs the turnbuckle with his arms raised again and roars.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, representing Legacy, from Boulder, Colorado, standing 6'6" & weighing 342 lbs: 'The War Mastodon' BIG! VAN! DOZER!"
Doser has a red mustache and goatee that goes past his chin, shaved head, brown eyes with his belly bulges out a bit, muscular arms, and a Mastodon tattoo on upper right arm (that has Vader Time on the tusks in honor of his father). He's wearing a red & black double arm wrestling singlet that reads Big Van Dozer on the front and War Mastodon on the back, black elbow pads, black boots, and his right hand is heavily taped while only his left wrist is tapped.
Jay: "Get ready to see a Hoss Fight, Jazz! Big, beefy men banging ALL of the meatyness!"
Jazz: "Big Van Dozer, the muscle of Legacy and son of the late, great Mastodon, Big Van Vader! And the resemblance is so great, it's nearly unnerving! Hell, he's the reason Phoenix is even more hurt after a BRUTAL Vadersault on the injured ribs last week! And now he aims to do the same type of damage against Garza tonight!"
Jay: "He's every bit as intimidating and dangerous as his legendary father! From what we've seen, nothing can stop him! No even Big Papi Cool himself!"
As Doser waits in the ring, MIDDLE CHILD (by J Cole) starts to play to a BIG pop! Out walks Jesus Garza through the La Rebelion walkway. He slowly walks to the ring while keeping his gaze directly on Doser. Once he made it through the crowd, Jesus jumped over the guard rail.
"Introducing his opponent, representing La Rebelion, from Guadalajara, Mexico, standing 6'6" & weighing in at 242lbs: 'Big Papi Cool' JESUS GARZA!"
Jazz: "While both men stand at equal heights, Garza is much lighter than Dozer is! So I expect him to be the quicker of the two!"
Jay: "It doesn't matter who's faster, Jazz, if he can't take down that wall known as Big Van Dozer!"
Jesus makes it to ringside and stares at Dozer. Doser beckons him in the ring. Garza tosses his snapback in the crowd then removes his jersey. He cracks his neck… before rushing in the ring and trading blows with Doser!
Jay: "Not again! La Rebelion keeps on attacking someone before the bell!"
Jazz: "Garza isn't waiting around anymore! He's ready to bring the fight for his group and for Espinoza!"
The bell rings with the two large men trading punches. Neither man backed down, and the crowd were loving it! Jesus knocks Dozer against the ropes with body blows and head punches. Dozer shoves him across the ring. Jesus rolls up and runs at him! He hits a stiff Lariat… But Dozer doesn't go down! He yells for Garza to do it again! Jesus runs and hits another one! And again Dozer is standing! Garza runs back… Doser runs behind him! Jesus turns and is FLATTENED with a Running Body Block! He raises up the "L" hand symbol to boos. He picks up Jesus and delivers a Headbutt. Jesus stumbles against the ropes. The Irish Whip follows, and Garza runs and slides behind Dozer. Garza pushes Dozer to the ropes, and he throws another Lariat! This stuns Dozer, so Jesus runs and hits a fourth one! Big Van falls against the ropes. Jesus runs and hits Pump Kick, sending Dozer between the ropes! He landed on the floor, but still stayed up! Jesus rolls out and starts brawling with him! The crowd comes alive, until Dozer cuts him off with a knee to the gut! Dozer grabs him and throws Garza hard into the steel steps! Jesus was laid out on the floor writhing in pain… Dozer pulls the steps out, jumps off, and squashes Garza with a brutal Jumping Senton!
Jazz: "My goodness! His ribs… his intestines… all of his vital organs just crushed!"
Jay: "The extra height he took… Dozer flattened him into a pancake!"
The crowd gasped as Jesus felt his insides get crushed! Dozer stood up and taunted everyone to boos. He then grabs and rolls him back in. Slowly Jesus tries to get up, but Doser rolls in and straight up tackles him into a corner! And he starts blasting him with Shoulder Tackles! He followed up with rapid Headbutts before grabbing Jesu s and tossing him across the ring! And he crashes down HARD! Jesus weakly crawls to the other corner and pulls himself up. But The War Mastodon charges and hits a Corner Lariat! He drags him out the corner and lifts him up vertically! Everyone watches as Dozer holds him up for twenty long seconds! Until finally, he plants him down with the Delayed Vertical Suplex! And Doser hooks the leg.

..KICKOUT!
Jesus gets a shoulder up. Doser applies a Side Headlock, keeping Garza on the canvas. The crowd rallies behind Big Papi Cool by clapping along. This motivates Jesus to power his way back to his feet. He then Elbows Dozer in the gut several times until he's released. But Dozer grabs his head and hits a Headbutt to knock him back down. He picks him back up and scoops him over the shoulder. Dozer carries him around with ease. He goes for the Running Powerslam, but Jesus lands behind! And he shoves Big Van towards the corner! Dozer lands chest first then stumbles back. He turns around and eats a Standing Dropkick! Dozer bounces off the ropes and wobbles forward! This time, Jesus scoops him up over the shoulder! And he hits a Running Powerslam of his own to a big pop!

….
KICKOUT!
Dozer just launches Garza off of his body!
Jay: "Did you just see how far Big Van Dozer heaved Jesus Garza off of him, Jazz!?"
Jazz: "Jesus is throwing everything he has at Dozer! And it barely earned a one-count!"
Jesus was shocked that he was pushed off like that! He waits for Dozer to slowly get up. Jesus locks the waist and hits a German Suplex! Not letting go, he picks him up and hits a second German Suplex! He lifts up for a third, but Dozer elbows him in the jaw! He pulls back for a harder elbow, but Jesus ducks down and hits a Snap Saito Suplex! This sends Big Van rolling to the corner. When he pulls up, Jesus runs and hits a Big Splash! Dozer stumbles forward as Garza hits the ropes. He attempts the Pump Kick. But Dozer grabs it… and pulls Jesus into a WICKED Lariat! Jesus was nearly folded in half! Dozer paces around, taunting everyone to more boos. He drags Garza up and whips him to the corner. He charges and hits a Running Corner Splash! But Jesus moved and sent him into the corner! Dozer stumbles again… and gets Pounced by Jesus! Dozer falls between the ropes to the floor! But he lands on his feet! Seeing this, Jesus sprints across the ring, and leaps over, and hits a No Handed Diving Crossbody right onto Big Van!
Jazz: "Jesus taking to the air right on Big Van Dozer! He is risking it all here tonight!"
Jay: "Guys that size shouldn't be able to leap off his feet that high!"
"HOLY SHIT" chants ring out from the crowd. Dozer was laid out while Jesus pulled himself back up! He then grabs Dozer and rolls him back in the ring. Jesus gets on the apron and yells for him to get up. He does, and Garza attempts the Slingshot Shoulder Tackle! But he gets caught out of the air right into a Bear Hug! Dozer even ragdolls him around! But Jesus slowly starts fighting back. He punches and headbutts Big Van then powers himself out of the hug! He then scoops Dozer and hits a Fallaway Slam… into a Samoan Drop!
Jesus starts to fire up! He drags Dozer up and fires off left & right Forearms! Dozer catches his head and hits a brutal Headbutt! Jesus stumbles back… then hits a Spinning Backfist to the jawline! This stuns Dozer! And Jesus follows up with the Sleeper Hold! Dozer feels himself fading as everyone gets louder! But Big Van backs him into the corner! He turns around and grabs Jesus for a Belly-to-Belly! But Jesus shifts his body behind… and hits The Diagnosis (Olympic Slam)! Everyone gets to their feet as Jesus covers him!
1!
….

…..
KICKOUT!
Dozer kicked out at 2.5! And the crowd thought it was over!
Jay: "What a hoss fight this is turning out to be, Jazz!"
Jazz: "Two super heavyweights colliding in a physical war of attrition!"
"This is awesome" chants break out from the crowd. Jesus and Dozer lay down on the mat. But Garza slowly made it to his feet first. As Dozer crawls up, "Big Papi Cool" grabs him and attempts Descansa en Paz (Gotch Piledriver)! But Big Van counters with a Back Body Drop. Jesus lands on his feet and hits a Discus Forearm! Dozer steps back… then hits a Spinning Backfist! Jesus stumbles… then hits a Pump Kick! Dozer bounces off the ropes… then throws a Lariat! But Jesus ducks! He runs behind… and hits a Leaping Clothesline to Dozer! Jesus drags his body up! He flexes the muscles! He goes for Descansa en Paz (Gotch Piledriver)... and he drops Dozer on his head! The crowd leaps to their feet! Jesus makes the cover!

But there's no count! Jesus looks around and doesn't see the ref anywhere! To his anger, he sees Angelica Rhodes ringside! She had yanked the ref out of the ring! Everyone boos her actions as Angelica smirks and gives Garza a little classy wave! He goes to stand, but gets Low Blow from behind by Flair! Garza falls to his knees! But Flair grabs him up and follows with the Excalibur (Wristlock to Jumping High Knee)! Jesus stumbles back… and gets BLASTED across the ring by Dozer's Bulldozer (Gore)!
Jazz: "Oh come on! Not like this! We witnessed this earlier today! God damn it, Legacy!"
Jay: "He snapped him in half! Jesus is done for!"
Everyone continued to boo! Sebastian rolls out and tosses the referee in! Dozer makes the cover! The referee slowly crawls to the pin! Rhodes & Flair are already celebrating!
…..
….
1!
Jazz: "This is a disgrace! Total disgrace!"
….
….
2!
Jay: "Legacy with the clean sweep over La Rebelion! There's no coming back from this!"
…
….
…..
But there's no three-count! Angelica & Sebastian turn around… and see Garza's foot on the ropes!
Jazz: "Yes! Yes! Yes! Jesus Garza is still alive! Great catch by the referee!"
The crowd erupts in a frenzy! The referee pulls himself up and points to the foot on the ropes! Dozer was LIVID! And Angelica & Sebastian were besides themselves! Rhodes gets on the apron to argue the call… until she's violently YANKED down to the floor! She turns around and sees Sofia Reynoso to a HUGE crowd pop! Sofia didn't waste any time! She grabs Angelica and SLAMS her into everything! Sebastian looks on, horrified… until he gets laid out by a leg-tapped Rey Aguayo! The crowd goes nuts for the ongoing beatdown! But Big Van slides out, charges, and BLASTS Rey with the Runaway Mastodon (Running Shoulder Tackle)! Dozer helps Flair to his feet and they start ganging up on Aguayo… but behind them, Jesus jumps off the top rope and wipes out EVERYONE! The fans LOVED it! He rolls Dozer back in then sets up for El Fin (Pumphandle Tombstone Piledriver)! Before he can get him up… Carson appears on the apron! The ref yells for her to get down! But from behind… Helmsley appears! And he hits the Spinebuster to Garza!
Jay: "Jazz, look! It's Christopher Helmsley!"
Jazz: "You gotta be kidding me! I thought Neal said he wasn't here tonight!"
Jay: "Well he's here now, Jazz! And he may have just secured the win for Dozer!"
Everyone boos as Helmsley holds up the "L" hand sign for Legacy! Carson continues to distract the ref… Until Sofia yanks her down off the apron! The two bitter enemies went at it to a HUGE ovation! But Angelica gets up and attacks Sofia from behind! Michaels & Rhodes now beatdown Sofia… until Daria runs out to make the save! She immediately went after Angelica and laid her out! Carson tries to attack, but Sofia tackles her and starts beating her down!
Back in the ring, the referee tried desperately to get the women under control by yelling at them. Behind him, Helmsley picks up Jesus for the Pedigree. But from the crowd, out runs the injured Phoenix! He leaps to the apron and hits a Springboard Dropkick to Helmsley! And he goes crashing out of the ring! Phoenix kicks up to loud "PHOENIX" chants! Helmsley slowly gets up as both sides fight along the ramp! Phoenix leaps to the top rope! He looks to his side… and sees Kirsi wearing her purple cape and climbing up top as well! She points at Phoenix! Phoenix points back and nods! They leap off… And they hit the Front Flip Senton TO EVERYBODY! Legacy is down! La Rebelion is down! Everyone is down!
Jazz: "This is getting out of hand! There are bodies scattered EVERYWHERE!"
Jay: "That was insane, Jazz! And we still have a match going on as well!"
As the fans go crazy, Dozer slowly pulls himself back up. With Jesus still down, he scales the top rope. He steadies himself for the Vadersault! But Jesus crawls up and kicks the legs from under! And Dozer is tripped up on the top! Jesus then grabs his arms and lifts the 300+lbs man! The crowd went INSANE! Jesus holds him up! And DROPS him with Devil's Edge (Crucifix Sit Out Powerbomb) to cover!

"Here is your winner: JESUS GARZA!"
Jazz: "He's done it! Amongst the madness we've seen, Big Papi Cool has toppled the War Mastodon and has given La Rebelion a HUGE win!"
Jay: "I'm speechless! How on earth did Garza lift him up like that!?"
Jazz: "Leave it to Garza to topple any wall that stands before La Rebelion!"
Garza laid there exhausted as the crowd went NUTS. Phoenix & Rey roll in to help up, with Sofia & the Misfits following suit. They all go to celebrate, until Carson & Christopher dash in and attacks! Angelica & Sebastian immediately follow suit! Garza prepares to swing until he's knocked back down by Doser! The brawl is back on!
Jay: "Even after two matches, they still want to fight!"
Jazz: "This ain't a normal fight! It's all-out mayhem!"
The crowd chants "FIGHT FOREVER" as everyone keeps throwing fists! And just as suddenly… The arena lights are out! And the ring turns a navy blue! A Silver (by Code Orange) plays to everyone's confusion! The tron displays images of rain & lightning. It then changes to display a single name:
"BRIANNA BORDEN!"
Jazz: "What in God's name is going on!?"
Jay: "Wait a minute… JAZZ LOOK IN THE RING!"
With everyone looking at the name, nobody noticed a 5'11" woman in all black standing right behind Daria! The woman spins Daria around and BLASTS her in the face with a baseball bat! The lights come on as everyone looks at the ring, seeing Daria get whacked! She then aims the dark blue bat and SMASHES it over the rest of the Misfits! She even cracks it over the rest of La Rebelion, especially against Phoenix's tapped ribs! Sofia runs at her, but she grabs her neck and hits a Chokeslam! The woman brushes her hair back… revealing to be Brianna Kelly!
Jazz: "BRIANNA KELLY!? We haven't heard from her since Immortality 2!"
Jay: "That's not Brianna Kelly anymore… that's Brianna Borden!"
Brianna Kelly, now Brianna Borden, has her face painted navy blue with her father's black markings. She turns to look at the rest of Legacy, specifically Carson & Angelica. They all watch her as she slowly turns to see Daria pulling herself back up! Briann grabs Daria and lifts her up in a Vertical Suplex RIGHT into a Tombstone Piledriver! She glances down at the ICW Women's Champion before turning back to Legacy. Brianna looks dead at Carson… and offers a handshake!? Nobody could believe it! Carson was shocked… and then smiled! She shakes Brianna's hand and pulled her into a hug! The fans were HEATED! Angelica and the rest of Legacy all embrace Brianna! And they all hold up the "L" hand symbol!
Jazz: "What am I seeing right now!? Brianna… how could you!?"
Jay: "Brianna Borden has come home! The Iconic Princess, the daughter of Sting, has joined Legacy!"
((Ad Break))
The screen cuts backstage to Brandon in the interview room.
Brandon: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time: Raptor Reigns!"
Raptor silently walks up to Brandon.
Brandon: "Earlier in the night, we heard Evan Neal offer you an opportunity to face Jason Sabre in tonight's main event. But you surprisingly turned it down! Simply asked… Why?"
Raptor looks at Brandon…then back at the ground. For about 20 seconds, he stood there lost in thought.
Brandon: "Raptor?"
Raptor: "...I can't do this."
He looks at Brandon and points to the mic. Brandon hands it to him, and Raptor looks dead into the camera.
Raptor: "Jacob. I know you're watching this, so I'm gonna cut to the chase: I want you to meet me in Pittsburgh. So we can settle this man-to-man… Uce-to-Uce."
Raptor hands the mic back to Brandon. He walks off as the screen fades to black.
The screen cuts backstage, where Mateo sits on some crates & holds an ice pack to his neck & a towel over his face. Freddy was busy pacing back & forth, clearly livid.
Freddy: "¡Estoy tan harta de esto! ¡Esos perros nos han atacado una y otra vez!" How long is this gonna keep up!?"
Mateo looks up at Freddy, remnants of the faded purple mist still on his face.
Mateo: "Primo ... no podemos seguir haciendo esto…. We need to take the fight to them the way WE know how… we need to fight like Guerreros. You with me?"
Freddy looks at Mateo and laments over what Mateo said. But before Freddy could answer him, Detrick walks up to them.
Detrick: "Well… it's official. Steel City Showdown, it's all of us against all of Bōryoku…which also includes Ayako."
Freddy: He lets out a frustrated groan. "Oh that's great! Wonderful, I'd even say! But just one slight problem… how the hell are we gonna deal with Ayako goddamn Suzuki!?"
Detrick: "I don't know, man. I still haven't heard back from Kailene-"
Mateo: "Still!? It's been over a week already-"
Detrick: "I know!" He snaps. He takes a deep breath and sighs. "Sorry, hermano. I'm just worried about her… and I honestly don't know how we're gonna deal with this. We'll have to come up with something-..."
Detrick feels his phone ringing. He turned away to answer as Freddy & Mateo sat there.
Mateo: "Freddy…you know what needs to happen."
Freddy: "Mateo-"
Mateo: "You've seen what happens when we keep playing fair! It's not doing us any favors! We just need to bend the rules just a little-"
Freddy: "I'm trying to change, man. And you know Detrick doesn't want our family to be associated with just cheating and rule-breaking! He's trying to change our image for the better!"
Mateo: "But is it worth still getting jumped? How long are we gonna keep getting attacked like this?! I'm sick of it! And I know you are too! Just… help me out here, Freddy! Okay?"
Freddy didn't respond. Detrick soon hangs up the phone and turns back to Freddy and Mateo with a smile.
Detrick: "Guys…. Get ready for a fight. She'll meet us in Pittsburgh."
Freddy & Mateo didn't understand what Detrick was talking about. Cyrus just smiles and walks off as the screen cuts back to ringside.
Jazz: "What a show this has been so far! I'm still shocked over the arrival of Ayako Suzuki & the former Brianna Kelly-now Brianna Borden, siding with Legacy!"
Jay: "All the fights! All the brawls! I can't get enough of it! And neither can these people! And we still have our main event to get to!"
Weight of my Pride (by Pay Money to my Pain) plays for the second time tonight. And the crowd's ovation was still just as loud! The beginning instrumentals kick in as the lights shift from blue & yellow. As we near the lyrics, smoke shot up from the sides of the stage and there stood Jason Sabre now dressed to wrestle! Sabre walks down the ramp, slapping hands, as the lights are dimmed and the spotlight follows him. He then jumps onto the ring apron and climbs to the top turnbuckle to do his gun taunt. Jason then jumps down to the middle of the ring as a spotlight shines on him. He then pauses for a few seconds, letting the crowd soak up the moment before doing the gun shot taunt. The lights go back up and he surveys the crowd again.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Los Angeles, California, standing 6'1" & weighing 235 lbs: 'The Ace of Pro Wrestling' JASON SABRE!"
Jazz: "Warzone: Steel City Showdown will see Jason Sabre face Mark Jacobs for the ICW Heavyweight Championship! But earlier in the night, we saw a tense staredown between him and Revolution! However, in steps Evan Neal to break the tension and create this match, where Jason doesn't even know his opponent!"
Jay: "What is it with Sabre and picking fights! On Warzone, he picked a fight with Bōryoku! And that lead to him barely surviving The Kyoshi Warrior on Training Ground! Now, he's picking fights with Revolution & Holiday Promotions, which may even lead to tonight! And who knows who Evan Neal may pick!"
Jazz: "Sabre is a fighting champion without the championship! He will take on anyone, anytime, any day! That's what makes him The Ace!"
Removing his jacket, Jason stands in the corner and waits… and waits… And waits… twenty seconds passed, and nothing happens. Until finally… Icon (by Jaden Smith) plays. The lights in the arena flash around in a different array of colors as smoke comes up onto the stage. Ced appears staring down at the ground. After a few seconds, he looks up and spits water out in a mist as he then makes his way down the ramp, followed by Elijah Holiday. Sabre brushes his hands together as Ced stops at ringside. Sabre drops the middle ropes and goats him to get in, but Ced just stands there! Sabre calls him out… and he eats a Tiger Feint Kick by Trey Gold! Jason goes flying back as Trey lands on the apron! Still in his gold shades & jacket, he leaps up and hits a Double Springboard Moonsault into a Tornado DDT! He kicks up and spreads his arms out to loud boos!
Jay: "It looks like Sabre has his opponent, Jazz! The newest signee: Trey Gold!"
Jazz: "And he just jumped Sabre before the match! He's definitely learned from Holiday Promotions!"
Trey takes off jacket and glasses, showing off his cocky smile. The ref checks on Sabre, who is clutching his head. Sabre still wants to continue, so the ref calls for the bell. The bell rings as Sabre is slow to get up. Trey delivers some Forearms & Calf Kicks to the Ace, followed up by a Back Elbow. He turns to run, but Sabre grabs his waistband and pulls him back! He attempts the Back Suplex, but the quicker Trey flips & lands on his feet. He pushes Jason to the ropes then runs behind. Sabre turns just as Trey cuts to the right side. He keeps running before sliding in between the legs. Trey turns Jason around… and Jason slaps Trey down! The crowd pops as Trey rolls out the ring, rubbing his shocked face!
Jazz: "All that fancy footwork, and it only earns Trey a big slap across the face!"
Jay: "That was uncalled for! He can't just slap the moneymaker like that!"
Trey was not thrilled on the outside! Jason stands there while the crowd chant "Go Ace!" Elijah calms Trey and whispers strategies to him. Meanwhile, Ced just stands there looking at Sabre with his arms folded. Trey takes a deep breath and slowly rolls in. He and Sabre pace the ring and tease a lockup. But Trey ducks under & grabs the waist. Sabre breaks the grip before ducking behind. He attempts the German Suplex, but Trey Elbows free and hits a Victory Roll!
1!
….KICKOUT!
Both rolls up and Sabre swings. Trey ducks & runs again, but Sabre runs behind him. Trey turns around, and he eats the Sling Blade! Trey stumbles up, and Sabre hits an Uppercut that knocks him off the ropes! Sabre grabs him, hooks the arms, and hits the Double Underhook Backbreaker! He hooks the legs.
1!
…..
2! KICKOUT!
Jazz: "Sabre is slowing down the pace and keeping Trey grounded."
Jay: "This is going to be an amazing test for 'The Golden Child!'"
Jason lifts Trey and delivers a loud Knife Edge Chop! And Trey falls against the corner! Jason lifts him back up and hits another Loud Chop! He Irish Whips him across, and Trey flips over to the apron. Sabre approaches, but Trey gut checks him. He follows with a Slingshot into the Sunset Flip. But The Ace rolls up and throws a Superkick! Trey ducks and rolls Jason to his knees! At the same time, Trey kips up and BLASTS him with the Corkscrew Roundhouse Kick! This stuns Sabre! Trey runs across the ring, and he leaps off with a Springboard… and Crossbodies into the Best Dropkick Ever from Sabre!
Jazz: "Jason Sabre with Ace-level precision to the Gold Child!"
Jay: "Come on, Trey! This is your big moment!"
Elijah bangs on the canvas for Trey to get up. Sabre grabs his wrist and drags him up. He hits a Knife Edge Chop that nearly knocks Trey over! Sabre lifts him up again and Forearms him! Trey turns, and Sabre grabs him for the Final Strike (Ripcord Lariat)! He spins him around… and eats a Codebreaker by Trey! This surprises everyone! Trey gets to corner scrambles to the corner. Sabre crawls up! Trey scouts his opponent from the corner! He goes for the Gold Rush (Running High Knee)...and eats a Slingblade! Sabre scales the top rope! He stands up tall… and hits the Final Hour (High Fly Flow)! The crowd thinks this is over! Sabre hooks leg!
…
….
But there's no count! He looks up to see Elijah on the apron yelling at the ref! Sabre gets up, turns around… and eats a Double C Spinebuster from Ced! Ced yells at Jason then swiftly rolls out! Elijah hops down as Trey stumbles up. He grabs Sabre in the Double Underhook! He holds Sabre up around the ring… and DROPS him with the Backbreaker Rack Piledriver! And Elijah yells for Trey to take him out! Trey nods and climbs up top. He waits for Jason to pull himself to his knees… and he hits a Moonstomp to the back! The crowd gasps and covers their mouths! Trey Gold covers!
1!
….
2!
..KICKOUT!
Jazz: "Good Lord the height of that brutal stomp! He may have kicked out two, but Sabre has to be feeling the worst of that!"
Jay: "Trey Gold has to stay on him! Don't get swept up in the moment!"
Trey was shocked and banged on the canvas! Elijah shouts for him to stay focused! Trey takes some deep breaths then drags Sabre up by his waistband. He spins him around… and attempts The Crowning (Spinning Heel Kick)! But Sabre ducks… and hits the Final Strike! Sabre goes to the corner and does his gun taunts… right at Ced & Elijah! He runs for the Final Resolution (Kinshasa) but Trey grabs his leg! He rolls back and applies Golden Finish (Calf Crusher)! Elijah is going ballistic! Trey pulls back hard as Sabre lets out a yell! But The Ace swiftly hooks his arm between the neck & shoulder and counters into the Final Breath (Crossface)! Now the crowd is cheering this time! Trey scrambles for dear life as Sabre pulls back hard! But Elijah gets on the apron again! With the ref focused on Elijah, Ced rolls back in! But Sabre sees this and let's Trey go. He gets up and turns as Ced tries to Spear him! But Sabre Superkicks Ced then tosses him out the ring! He walks over and hits a Slingshot Crossbody to Ced! Elijah climbs down to check on him! Sabre scoffs and rolls back in. He lifts Trey… who breaks away and HITS THE CROWNING!
Jazz: "HE GOT HIM! TREY GOLD HITS THE CROWNING!"
Jay: "GET HIM, TREY! MAKE YOURSELF FAMOUS!"
The crowd couldn't believe it! Trey scrambles to cover! But Sabre falls out of the ring, to Gold's frustration! Sabre was slow to rise as Elijah tells him to stay on it! Trey looks down at Jason, trying to pull himself up! He gets amped up, runs the ropes, and hits the Suicide Dive! He rolls back in, runs, and hits a second one!

Jazz: "OH GOOD LORD! WHAT A FINAL BLOW!"
Jay: "HOLY HELL I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW!"
The crowd gives a MASSIVE standing ovation! Trey lay dead in the ring! Elijah stands there, shocked and in disbelief! Sabre just casually sits up and looks at Elijah! He dusts his hands off and hooks the legs!

"Here is your winner: JASON SABRE!"
Jazz: "What a Final Blow that was! I have never seen anything like that in my life! And that's what Mark Jacobs has to defend his title against!"
Jay: "I'm still speechless, Jazz! No words are needed!"
Jason rises up and looks at Elijah with a smirk. And Elijah was not thrilled. Sabre gets up and has his hands raised…until he is smacked in the back by Mark with the Heavyweight title! The crowd boos as Mark mounts and punches Sabre!
Jazz: "Looks like Mark isn't waiting until Pittsburgh to get his hands on Sabre!"
Jay: "He's looking for any advantage he can get, Jazz!"
Mark grabs Jason's arm and teases the Comatose (Kamigoye)! But Jason leaps up and hits the Greatest Dropkick Ever! He starts wailing on Mark to a big pop! But that was until Ced runs in and attacks Jason! Everyone now boos Ced beating down The Ace. Mark stumbles up, turns around, and sees Tate Williams standing there with the briefcase! The ref sees this and asks Tate what's he gonna do?
Jazz: "Is he gonna do it!? Is Tate Williams about to use his Immortal Opportunity!?"
Jay: "Do it, Tate! No time like the present!"
Mark and Tate watched and waited to see what the other was gonna do! Ced suddenly got up and stood in Tate's way! Elijah yells what they're doing as Ced tells him "You hold on right now! He's mine! Let me handle-" then Will Ralston runs in and attacks Tate! Before Ced could do anything, Ashsr shows up and fights Ced! Mark stands back and watches… until Sabre tackles him to the ground!
Jazz: "Jesus Christ it's pandemonium once again! We need to get this under control!"
Jay: "It's getting hectic, Jazz! Everyone wants to fight!"
Everyone cheers at the amount of fights going on! Things only escalated when Trey Gold rolled back in… and was knocked down by a Springboard Dropkick by Luke Gray! Ruthless Roger Stone arrives and begins throwing everyone around! Koji & The Gambler ran in and teamed up against Stone! Even Holiday came close to throwing hands! MULTIPLE officials ran out to try and contain the chaos happening in the ring! MPI and Sabre fighting Holiday Promotions & Mark Jacobs!
…And then the lights immediately cut off! The crowd grew louder! Nobody could see what was going on! Flames BURST from all four corners of the ring, startling everyone! The lights come on, and standing in the center… is Azriel!
Jazz: "It's Azriel! Azriel is standing in the ring!"
Jay: "What the hell is he doing here!?"
The fans went NUTS! Everyone in and around the ring all froze in place! Azriel scans the scene… And turns around to face Mark and Jason! Mark IMMEDIATELY bolts out of the ring with his title as he & Sabre stand face-to-face! "HOLY SHIT" chants break out as they stare each other down! Everyone watched with bated breath, waiting to see what happened! Azriel looks at Jason… Jason looks at Azriel… and they start attacking everybody! Wrestlers, officials, the unholy duo were clearing the ring!
Jazz: "You gotta be kidding me! Jason Sabre and Azriel… they're working together!"
Jay: "And they're swinging on everything that's moving, Jazz!"
Everyone pops at seeing Sabre & Azriel raise some hell! Roger Stone soon starts attacking Azriel, knocking him to the ropes! He runs back, charges, and runs right into a Final Blow! Stone bounces back to his feet, where Azriel grabs him and hits a Chokeslam! Trey Gold went for a Springboard Hurracarrana on Azriel! But Azriel caught him… and he tossed him out the ring all the way THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!
Jazz: "OH MY GOD!"
Jay: "AZRIEL JUST MURDERED TREY GOLD IN FRONT OF US!"
Bodies were laid out everywhere! Ced looked on from the floor, pissed at seeing Jason and Azriel standing tall! Mark slowly backs up the ramp as Sabre and Azriel stared down again! But slowly, The Ace's attention shifted to Mark Jacobs! Azriel stood there, watching Sabre point at Mark and Mark hold up his title! But Mark turns to leave… He comes to a screeching halt! Because standing on stage… was Revolution!
Jazz: "Revolution is here now! Mark Jacobs is surrounded!"
Jay: "Everyone wants the title, Jazz! Mark Jacobs is a marked man!"
Jazz: "It's open hunting season on the Heavyweight Champion! But who will leave Pittsburgh with the championship!? Mark Jacobs or Jason Sabre!? We'll find out next time… at Warzone: Steel City Showdown!"
With Revolution on stage and blocking his path, Mark looks around to see Sabre motioning to his waist and Azriel behind him, on top of Ced slowly getting up and glancing at him! The screen fades with Mark appearing completely surrounded…
