((A/N: The day this episode is posted...I found out that the woman behind Jazz Conway got covid on her birthday (back in July). She's recovered thankfully, but it was one of the worst times in our lives. So in honor of her, as she says, "kicking Covid's ass," this episode is dedicated to her. Stay safe, you guys, and enjoy the show!))

Before the show….

The screen opens to Alexis Espinoza in her office looking over some paperwork and throwing others in the trash. Suddenly-

Evan: "MS. ESPINOZA!"

Evan Neal let's himself in and stands over her desk. Alexis didn't even flinch nor did she look up from her work.

Alexis: "I'm busy, Neal. What do you want?"

Evan: "Pardon my French, but WHAT. THE. HECK?! Your "essay", Reynoso, was not permitted to put her hands on Carson Michaels! And what did she do...what did she do!?"

Alexis: "She kicked Carson's ass. Again." She says while still looking over paperwork. "That's what happens when Carson turns into her father and starts running her mouth. Actions have consequences, Neal."

Evan: "You're correct, Ms. Espinoza. Actions do indeed have consequences."

Evan pulls out a letter and drops it in front of Alexis. She picks it up and stares at it, unamused.

Alexis: "What is this, Neal?"

Evan: "That is a reprimand, Ms. Espinoza. From the higher ups in the WFA that give you this position."

Alexis's face went from unamused to slightly confused. She opens the letter and reads it quietly while Evan talks.

Evan: "Basically, the actions that your friends in La Rebellion have taken have been out of order. Especially the actions of Sofia Reynoso to Carson Michaels. The value of the WFA Women's Title match is too great to allow such heinous actions to continue. Therefore, if Sofia does anything else to Carson tonight, then the scheduled title match will be called off and Sofia Reynoso will no longer challenge for the championship!"

Alexis: "MIERDA!" She balls up the paper and stands up, slamming her hands on the desk. "YOU did this, didn't you!?"

Evan: He just looks at her. "It is the role of our jobs to maintain order and discipline amongst the wrestlers, staff, and fans. Sofia is a danger to herself and everyone around her. If she wants this title match, then she must learn to be on her best behavior. Now, if you'll excuse me, we have a show to prepare. I will see you later tonight, Ms. Espinoza..."

Neal chuckles and leaves her office. Alexis puts her hands into a fist as she sits back down, seething. The screen then fades….

One finger and a fist

(We start at what looks to be an underground setting, a dimly lit area with a spotlight as a crowd is forming around it. We see someone in a hood standing over a shirtless man on the ground with a bloody nose)

I'll claw my way out of any situation

(Will Ralston is seen in the crowd, before a flashback is seen of him hitting Ben Jones with the Reverse 1916 and him raising the ICW World title in black and white)

I got a one, two punch

(We then see Daria sitting in a chair eating potato chips, before a flashback of her hitting Angelica with The Dreamfall and then Daria and the Misfits in the Immortality 2 crowd in Black

and White appear)

I'll fight my way out of any confrontation

(Furno is taping his wrists in the front row with Aiden and Raptor flanking him before a flashback of him hitting the Legend Killer onto a barbwired board on Genocide, before showing him laying on the floor exhausted and bloody, raising the ICW Demolition Championship in Black and White as the music kicks in)

I got news for you

(The Wayne Bros are seen watching amongst the crowd, before flashing back to them hitting the Neon Blast on PK before they are both seen on their knees hugging each other.)

You're not the first one, won't be the last

(Chris Owens is seen with KNA flanking him in the middle of the crowd cracking his fist, before flashing back to him hitting the CO Bomb on Zack Mercer and then snatching the International Title out of the refs hands)

Won't take abuse

(We see Carson Michaels in the crowd with a scowl that turns into a grin when we flash back to her hitting Brianna with Sweet Chin Music in Black and White)

I see you run son, you're running fast

(We then see Chris Blade leaning against a wall at the back of the room with his arms crossed before flashing back to him pinning CJ Hawk at Immortality)

What you wanna do?

(Revolution is seen in another part of the room. Christian is pacing back and forth, Ava is watching intently, Clay is trying to sell a T-shirt to some guy and Sai is on the floor sleeping with a pillow and blanket, before we flash back to them attacking Chris Blade at Immortality and standing tall)

You call me crazy, I paid my dues

(Monarchy is seen with Caesar standing behind the two smaller guys. We then flashback to them turning on Freddy when Caesar hit him with a Royal Elbow)

You know the truth

(We see Freddy watching from the balcony before flashing back to him hitting Caesar with a series of chair shots)

You go against me, you're gonna lose

(We then see Jason Sabre at a bar with a couple of girls around him, taking a shot, before flashing back to him appearing through smoke in his debut to a big pop)

Play your hand without a deck

You make your bed of nails

(We see Tate Williams laughing he clutches his briefcase before flashing back to him pulling it down)

One finger and a fist

I'll claw my way out of any situation

(Natalia Rodriguez is seen in the back of the room before flashing back to her not shaking Kailenes hand)

I got a one, two punch

(Alexis Espinoza and Evan Neal are seen on the other balcony, overseeing what's going on underneath. Behind them is a 'Missing' poster of Trell. Evan offers a handshake with a cocky grin, but Alexis gives him a finger, before turning back to the spotlight in the middle of the room)

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)

After the intro, we cut to the arena as pyro starts going off everywhere! The crowd, molten hot and ready for the show, chanted "ICW! ICW! ICW! The screen then cuts to Jay & Jazz back on commentary!"

Jazz: "Welcome back, everyone to ICW Battlefield! We are just days away from the first PPV of the season: New Horizon, and this is the final episode before the historic two-night PPV! As always, I am Jazz and I am joined by Jay!"

Jay: "PPV season is upon us, but I am extremely excited for the show tonight! Everyone's been itching to grab that last bit of momentum, so it's bound to be good! Especially with Sofia now forced to be on her best behavior! Nothing can top that!"

Jazz: "We have a stacked card for you today! Tonight's main event will have Jason Sabre, right before his match with DJ Kingston, go one-on-one with King Caesar! We will also see Kailene team up with the Women's Champion Daria against the duo of Angelica & Natalia! As well as Chris Blade versus 'Revolution's Bloodborne' Christian McIntyre! But right now, we're gonna kick things off with this 5-on-5 tag team match!"

Language is Fatal (by Jedi Mind Tricks) (Instrumental) starts to play, causing the arena lights to go out. Soon, two spotlights shined over Sovereignty on opposite ends of the stange. Alexander & Rodri stood proud with their hands behind their backs.

"The following contest is a 5-on-5 Tag Team Match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, at a total combined weight of 520 lbs: 'Alexander Magnus & Rodri Montoya' SOVEREIGNTY!"

Only the spotlights stayed lit as Supremacy (by Muse) began to play. The two more spotlights shined down on the Kings of a New Age. Edward stood next to Rodri & Aiden stood beside Alexander. They all stood there as Fight (by CFO$) blasts. The lights came back on as Chris Owens opted to walk out and join them in the middle.

"Their tag team partners, at a total combined weight of 700lbs: 'Edward Mercury, Aiden Remington III, & the International Champion by name, Chris Owens:' THE LORDS OF WRESTLING!"

All five men walked down to the ring with scowls on their faces and boos from the crowd. Sovereignty wipes their feet on the apron as they entered, and L.O.W does the same.

Jazz: "Both Sovereignty & the Lords of Wrestling have huge matches at New Horizon! Sovereignty looks to capture the ICW Tag Team Titles while Chris Owens & the KNA wants revenge over La Rebelion because they can't keep up with their belongings."

Jay: "Can't keep up-" He repeats in disgust. "La Rebelion STOLE them, Jazz! They STOLE the ICW International Championship from Chris Owens, who happens to be the rightful champion! All five are on a mission to set things right, and that's by taking back the International title AS WELL AS becoming tag champions!"

Jazz: "Well don't look now, but I think we're about to get a Rant, Owens. Rant."

As Sovereignty & the KNA get ready, Chris Owens calls for a microphone. He taps the mic while pacing back & forth.

Owens: "Oi! Listen up, you muppets! I need to set something straight!"

That's got the crowd to boo him and chant "HUSH, OWENS! HUSH!" This only pissed him off even more.

Owens: "I'LL TALK AS MUCH AS I BLOODY WELL WANT TO! You lot are just like La Rebelion: No respect for values or respect! They believe what's theirs is theirs and what's mine is theirs! La Rebelion, just like our opponents, get by on lies, deceits, and thievery as well as appealing to the lowest common denominator! That ends NOW! Because Sovereignty will restore dignity and honor those tag team titles and bring in a TRUE 'Tag Team Renaissance' while the Lords of Wrestling will take back what belongs to US and make them PAY for going against their Lords! ICW is about to be led by true European greatness!"

As Owens tosses the mic down, Familia (by Nicki Minaj & Anuel AA ft. Bantu) starts to play! The crowd cheers as Freddy & Detrick make their way out. They stopped and turned to reveal Mateo in red black wrestling tights boots (with "Latino King" written on the back of the tights in green w/gold accents) and regular taped wrists. He also reveals his tattoo of a cross with "Guerrero" in it over his heart and his "Latino King" tattoo on his right inner forearm. They make their way to the ring and all pose on the top rope & apron.

"Introducing their opponents..first, at a total combined weight of 660 lbs: 'Freddy Escobar, Detrick Cyrus, & Mateo Guerrero' LA FAMILIA!"

Jazz: "Here is La Familia in full force tonight! Mateo is making his official in-ring debut while Freddy & Detrick look to send a message to their partners as well as Sovereignty! But I can't help but be suspicious of Mateo…."

Jay: "Don't judge a book by its cover, Jazz! That's one of the first things children are taught with proper education! Mateo is here to support his cousins and remind them that they are tag team royalty & is capable of being the next tag team champions!"

When the trio enter the ring, Chrome Hearts (by CFO$) plays, causing the crowd to cheer! The arena lights cut off when the music plays. Ten seconds later, two separate spotlights shine on the duo, who are jogging in place. They soon leap into the air and land on the top of the ramp into a surfer pose. Upon landing, the pyro goes off, shooting a ray of colors from the stage to the air. The arena lights soon come up a neon glow as the screen soon shows a burst of neon colors beating to the music. The duo then heads to the ring, clapping and stepping to the music. When they get to the side of the ring, they slide in, remove their titles from their waist, and hold them up proudly!

"And introducing their tag team partners, weighing in a total combined weight of 341lbs, the ICW Tag Team Champions: 'Derick & Devin' THE WAYNE BROS!"

Jazz: "The Wayne Bros are full of spirit tonight! But they have a very difficult task ahead of them at New Horizon! They're gonna defend their tag titles against both La Familia & Sovereignty in a Three Way Tag Team Match! But tonight, they're gonna have to work with one of their challengers in La Familia! And while I know respect is felt between the two brotherly teams, Mateo doesn't seem to be as friendly as Freddy & Detrick."

Jay: "Because the Wayne Bros have what Mateo feels should belong to Freddy & Detrick! He's willing to work with them tonight, but if I was Mateo, I'd focus more on keeping Freddy & Detrick safe than worrying about the Wayne Bros!"

Both sides were hurling insults at one another as they left the ring. The bell sounds when Edward Mercury & Derrick Wayne start for their sides. The crowd began to cheer as the two circle each other! Dueling chants of "LET'S GO WAYNE'S/FUCK YOU ED-WARD" rang across the arena! Derrick just smiled while Edward turned and threatened the crowd to stop. When they chanted louder, Edward just turned to his old rival and locked up. He quickly grabs Derrick's arm and twists it behind his back. Derrick stumbles a bit, but he manages to slip behind him then spins him around. He hits the Snapmare and tries to kick, but Edward grabs his foot. He turns into a Standing Ankle Lock, but Derrick counters by rolling and flinging him across the ring. They both get up, and Edward attempts a Back Body Drop, but Derrick rolls over him and runs the ropes. Derrick hits Hurricanrana, sending him to his corner. Aiden runs in, but Devin does too and the tag champs hits the Double Leapfrog! Devin does the Backflip Leg Catch as Derrick runs and hits a Single Leg Dropkick! Edward gets up, and is immediately thrown with a Double Arm Drag! The two cartwheel and hit the Double Dropkick as the crowd cheers them on!

Jazz: "A hot start from the tag champions and the KNA are left looking all kinds of disconnected!"

Jay: "Don't look now, but it appears that Owens wants to get involved!

As the KNA rolls back to their corner, Chris Owens quickly tags himself in. The Waynes look at Chris...as Mateo suddenly tags himself in! Derrick & Devin are surprised, but Mateo told them "Let me handle this pendejo." The tag champs leave the ring as the 5'9" Mateo steps right up to the 6'6" Owens. "Who the bloody hell you think you are getting in my face!?" Owens yells. Mateo smirks...and slaps Chris across the face! "Soy El Rey Latino. Conoce tu lugar, perro." The crowd gasps as Owens stood there rubbing his face. He chuckles for a bit...then charges at Mateo! But the Latino King swiftly ducks and runs past him! He slides between his legs and attempts a School Boy! But Chris kicked out before the ref could count. Mateo quickly gets up and goes for La Magistral! But Owens again kicks out before the ref could count! Mateo goes after him, but Chris lifts him with the Gorilla Press and drops him to the mat!

Jazz: "Mateo tried all kinds of ways to end this quickly, but Chris's power quickly changed the momentum in his favor!"

Jay: "Chris is a pissed off champion, Jazz! He sees Mateo like La Rebelion and wants to take out as much frustration on him as possible!"

Owens immediately went for the ground & pound by stomping down on Mateo! He just kept beating him until the ref had to pull him away. Owens calms down enough to pick up Mateo and whip him across the ring. He goes for a discus clothesline, but Mateo ducks it and keeps running. He tags in Freddy as he runs and slides underneath Chris. When Owens looks up, he sees Freddy springboarding off the ropes and Drop Kicking him in the face! Chris was sent crashing to his corner as Freddy got up and told him to "BOW!" Chris was about to charge at him, but Alexander stops him and asks to tag in. Owens looks at Freddy...and tags Magnus in. Alexander calmly wipes his feet then steps in the ring, hands behind his back, glaring at Escobar. Freddy stares back, posing with his arms out, and telling him to "BOW!" The two then lock up and Magnus pulls him to the mat and goes for the Shankly Gates. But Freddy counters and goes for the STF! But before he can lock the wrists, Magnus grabs them and breaks free! He rolls over and goes for the Cross Armbreaker! But Freddy rolls over him and puts him in the Arm Trap Tequila Sunrise!

Jazz: "Hold for hold & counter for counter, Escobar & Magnus have an answer for seemingly everything they go for!"

Jay: "Both men are putting on a Technical masterclass!"

As Freddy keeps the hold on, Magnus kicks his face with his free foot until he lets go. Magnus gets up and, with the European Uppercut, knocks Freddy back! Freddy stumbles to the ropes and secretly tags Detrick. Magnus goes to Irish Whip, but Escobar counters. Magnus runs, Freddy drops down, and Cyrus catches him with a Side Kick. Freddy hooks his arm for the Half & Half Suplex, and Detrick rolls in the ring from the apron and hits the Dropkick into the Half & Half! Alexander quickly rolls to his corner...and tags in Rodri Montoya! Detrick looks on as Rodri slowly enters the ring and towers over him with his 6'8" size. Detrick, unwilling to back down, got right in Montoya's face. And Rodri scoffs...before stepping on Cyrus's custom 'Familia' Air Jordans! The crowd gasps in shock as Cyrus looks down at his shoes. He looks up at the uncaring Rodri...and loses it! Detrick punches Montoya in the face, which slightly shakes him! Cyrus just kept punching and kicking at Montoya out of rage & emotion over his shoes! The ref tries to hold him back, but Detrick wouldn't listen! He pushes past the ref...and walks right into a THUNDEROUS Backhand Chop from Montoya! The crowd "OOOHs" while Cyrus's teammates winced at the sound! Montoya's teammates simply cheered him on.

Jay: "OH DEAR GOD, JAZZ! HE JUST KILLED HIM!"

Jazz: "Cyrus came out ready for a fight, but my Lord what a disgusting chop by Rodri! A chop from those paws he calls hands will knock ANY person on their back!"

Jay: "On their back!? Jazz that Chop flipped Detrick inside out!"

As said, Cyrus flips back & immediately collapses to the ground coughing and clutching his chest! Montoya looks down at Detrick...and then runs over & kicks Freddy off the apron! This sends Magnus and the Lords of Wrestling rushing over and attacking their opponents around ringside! They slammed them into barricades, Suplexed them on the floor, and tossed them into the apron! Back in the ring, Rodri continues attacking Cyrus with a swift Kick to his face! Rodri poses over Cyrus with his hands behind his back and foot on his head all to loud boos! He picks him up and knees him in the ribs that knocks him back down! But not for long as he scoops him back up, slams him back to the mat, and hits the Jumping Seated Senton! Cyrus could not breathe after that. Rodri drags Cyrus back to his corner and tags in Owens. They drag him back by his arms and hit multiple Shoulder Blocks followed by a Delayed Double Suplex! Chris rolls over for the cover!

1….2 KICKOUT!

Jazz: "A kick out just at the 2-count, but Detrick is not looking too good right now! Sovereignty & the Lords are firmly in control!"

Jay: "Detrick is taking a serious beating, Jazz! And there's no one that can help him now!"

Chris Owens gets up and starts toying with Detrick! He slaps him upside the head and kicks him, all while talking down about him! But when he picks him back up, Detrick responds with a right forearm! This stuns Owens long enough for Cyrus to connect with the Enzugiri! Chris stumbles back as Detrick charges. Chris pops hom in the air...and Cyrus lands standing on Owens's shoulders! He backflips off, lands in front of him, and Chris flattens Detrick with a Clothesline! Chris drags him up and throws him to his team's corner! Chris pulls the ref facing him long enough for Sovereignty & the KNA to attack Cyrus even more! This resulted in massive heat from the crowd! Once Chris is done, he moves the ref aside and hits the Corner Splash! As Detrick slumps down, Chris runs back, charges, and hits the Cannonball! Owens tags in Edward who tags in AR3. The KNA pulls Cyrus away from the ropes and applies the Boston Crab/Camel Clutch double submission!

Jazz: "Good lord, they are bending Detrick in ways no human should be bent!"

Jay: "This is what the KNA lives for! Snapping limbs and breaking down their opponents!"

Detrick was being tortured, but it didn't last too long. The duo lets go after a few seconds and Edward leaves the ring. Aiden picks up Cyrus and, after a few European Uppercuts, attempts the Brain Buster. But when he lifts him up, Detrick lands behind him and hits the Latino Law (Catching Argentine Lift into a Samoan Drop)! Both men were down, and the fans got behind Detrick! His brother & the Wayne Bros were finally on the apron and rallied for him to tag! But as Cyrus crawls, Edward runs back in and pulls him away! Detrick got up and knocked him out with the Step-Up Enzuigiri! Cyrus turns around...and Aiden hits a surprise Gunshot (Codebreaker)!

Jazz: "The Gunshot just stopped Cyrus dead in his tracks! He needs to hurry and make a tag at this rate!"

Jay: "Sovereignty and L.O.W are doing a masterful work of isolating Detrick and cutting him off from his teammates!"

AR3 tags Magnus in to more boos from the fans. He hooks Cyrus and hits a Fisherman Buster then poses with his arms behind him. Detrick struggled to even move. "The King of Catch" looks at Escobar and tells him to "Bow to real wrestling royalty!" This triggers Freddy and he tries to rush back in! But the referee blocked his path! While his vision was turned, Mateo runs in and hits Magnus with the Jumping Spinning Heel Kick! He quickly slid out as the ref turned back around, seeing both men down now! The crowd were dying to see Detrick tag in, and his teammates were itching to tag in! Cyrus crawls over...and tags in Freddy! The crowd pops as Freddy hits Alexander with his Prince's Blade (Springboard Knee Strike)! KNA tries to run in, but Freddy ducks them, runs the ropes, and hits Double Blockbusters! As he gets up, Owens steps in and grabs him. He went for the Short Arm Clothesline only to eat a Royal Sword (Bicycle Knee Strike), knocking him out of the ring! Rodri tries to step in, but Freddy hits a Running Springboard Dropkick and knocks him down too! Escobar was clearly fired up!

Jazz: "The Prince is on a roll right now! He's getting payback for the damage done to his brother and fighting off all five guys!"

Rodri was on the floor, but still on his feet. So Mateo steps in and charges for a Suicida! However, Rodri catches him out of midair! But as he lifts him in the Fireman Carry, the Wayne Bros runs in and hits Double Tope Con Hilo, knocking Rodri & Mateo down! The crowd are on their feet right now! Back in the ring, Freddy lifts Magnus and tells Cyrus to climb up top! Cyrus manages to pull himself to the top rope, and the two hit the Kneeling Sitout Powerbomb/Swerve Stomp combo! Freddy makes the cover!

1…

2…

BREAKUP!

The count stops when Edward & Aiden drags Freddy out of the ring! And they start beating him down!

Jazz: "The match could've ended right there! Now the KNA is putting a mugging on Escobar!"

Jay: "What a save by Edward & Aiden! Doing everything they can to stop the count!"

Detrick runs over and attacks KNA! But Chris cuts him off by slamming him into the barricade! He then hoists him over his shoulders and Powerslams him on the announce table! With Cyrus taken out, KNA rolls Freddy back in and at the feet of Magnus just in time for the Wayne Bros to scare them back to their corner. "The King of Catch" picks him up and hits a stiff European Uppercut! He grabs Freddy and lifts him by both of his arms. Alexander lets Rodri tag himself in before slamming Freddy down with the Iconoclasm! Rodri paces around Escobar, who struggles to stand. He lifts him by his chin...and Backhand CHOPS him in the chest! The chop made a thunderous smacking sound that made everyone wince in pain! Freddy collapses to his knees against Rodri's side. Montoya hooks his arms and hits the Butterfly Suplex Throw! Escobar rolls to the enemy's corner as "Malaga's Kong" tags Magnus back in. They lift Freddy by his ankles and drop him with an assisted Alabama Slam! But Magnus holds on to his ankles and applies a Heel Hook!

Jazz: "The Heel Hook is in! Magnus has Freddy trapped in the center of the ring!"

Jay: "No escape for 'The Prince' Jazz! He's either gonna tap or have his ankle snapped!"

The crowd was chanting "FRED-DY," trying to give him energy! Escobar shouted in pain as he tried to crawl to the ropes! But as he reaches closer, Magnus lets go and pulls him towards the center! He then runs and knocks Detrick, Mateo, & the Waynes off the apron before turning back to Freddy. He picks him up for the Straight-Jacket Powerbomb, but Freddy counters it into a Snap DDT on his head! The crowd begged for Freddy to make the tag! Both men crawl over...and Magnus tags Edward first! Edward runs in...and Freddy leaps & tags Derrick Wayne!

Jazz: "He's in! Derrick got the tag! And he's taking the fight to both of his old rivals, the KNA!"

The crowd pops as Derrick runs in and ducks a Clothesline from Edward! He turns and Roundhouse Kicks him in the head! Aiden runs in, but he eats a Spin Kick to the Gut! Derrick then Back Elbows Edward in the head! Edward crashes in the corner as Derrick goes to Roundhouse Aiden! But AR3 ducks the kick and grabs his waist. Edward charges, but Derrick kicks his face and elbows Aiden to let go. Edward charges, but Derrick rolls past him, tags Devin, and Devin hits a Springboard Crossbody to KNA! Owens runs in and charges after them, but the Tag Team do their Double Leap Frog over him! Mateo drapes the ropes and sends Chris to the floor, and as he gets up, Freddy surprised him with the Money Maker (Suicide dive transitioned into a tornado DDT)! Mateo then hits a Springboard Moonsault onto Magnus! Back to the ring, Rodri rushes in with Double Lariats, but the Waynes backflip over it and Dropkick him to the floor! Still on his feet, Rodri stumbles around ringside...and Detrick comes FLYING from across the ring, over the post, and crashing onto Rodri through the barricade! The crowd were losing their minds! But The Waynes would not be outdone! They stood on opposite sides of the ring! They raised their arms up and pointed to each other before running! The twin brothers leaps over the corner and hits the Cross Slash onto the KNA!

Jazz: "MY GOD WHAT DIVES FROM LA FAMILIA & THE WAYNE BROS!"

Jay: "BODIES ARE FLYING EVERYWHERE, JAZZ! I CAN'T KEEP UP!"

"ICW!" & "THIS IS AWESOME!" Chants rang from the crowd! Devin rolls Edward back in the ring. As he gets up, Devin rolls from the apron and plants him with the Yoshi Tonic Driver! Everyone counted along!

1…..

….

2….

…...

thr-KICKOUT!

Jazz: "NOOO! He kicked out! Edward just BARELY survived and kicked out of the Yoshi Tonic!"

Jay: "Good lord that was close! Sovereignty & L.O.W are still in this!"

The crowd was SHOCKED that Devin didn't end it! Both he & Edward were spent! But they pulled themselves back up and threw forearms at each other! The crowd we're growing louder as they continue to trade shots! But just as it looks like Edward got the advantage, Devin threw out a Superkick! But Edward grabs it and spins him around! He goes for the German Suplex, but Devin lands on his feet & runs the ropes! But Edward yells "GOTCHA" & catches him with the Gotcha! (Feint Superkick then a Superkick to the knee)! He laughs and runs the ropes, but Devin scoops him up and drops him with the Blue Thunder Bomb! He rolls to the corner and waits for Edward to stagger back up….until Mateo tags himself in again!

Jazz: "A blind tag from Mateo Guerrero! And Devin doesn't look too happy about it!"

Jay: "Mateo realized that Devin won't be enough to win tonight! So he's taking matters into his own hands!"

Devin wasn't super thrilled, but Mateo simply pats his shoulder and says "I got this, ese." He then Springboards off the ropes and hits the Hurricanrana! Devin reluntly goes back on the apron..but Aiden yanks him to the floor and slams him into the barricade! But as AR3 stomps down on Devin, Derrick runs and hits the Detonation (Running Knee Strike)! Back in the ring Mateo picks up Edward and goes for the Three Amigos! He hits the first one, he hits the second, but Edward counters the third with a knee to the head! Mateo puts him down as he kicks his knees and trips him. He tags Owens and calls for the Rains of Castamere (Double-team Spike Piledriver). Edward climbs up as Owens lifts him for the Piledriver...but Mateo counters with a Hurricanrana, sending Chris into Edward! Mercury falls to the floor as Mateo runs off the corner & hits the Shiranui! With Owens down, Mateo makes his way to the top rope! He pats his chest and flies with the Frog Splash….and missed! Owens rolled out of the way and Mateo crashed hard on the mat! As he stumbles up, Owens catches him in the Wasteland (Spinning Side Slam)! He cracks his neck, sits up Mateo, and applies The Choke Out (Rear Naked Choke)! Mateo tried to reach the ropes, but he was quickly losing consciousness!

Jazz: "THE CHOKE OUT IS IN! OWENS HAS MATEO BY THE NECK!"

Jay: "THIS IS IT, JAZZ! OWNES IS ABOUT TO PUT MATEO TO SLEEP!"

Rey: "¿Qué pasa ICW? ¿Qué pasa? ¡La Rebelion estamos aquí!"

Jay: "What in the hell….Jazz! Who was that!?"

Jazz: "That was Rey Aguayo's voice!"

Chris Owens looks around for the speaker. The crowd pops HARD when they turn and see Phoenix, Rey Aguayo, & Jesus Garza walking from their 'La Rebelion' entrance through the crowd. They high five and fist bump the fans in the crowd while Owens lets Mateo go and yells at them.

Jesus: "Woah, ese! Calm down! We just got here and wanted to show you something. Thanks to the buyers of your homies' stuff, we used that money to upgrade the International Title! Take a look!'

Jesus points to Phoenix, who reveals to be holding a black bag. He opens the bag and takes out the title: it's still the same International Title, but the white strap is now designed with the Mexican Flag & covered in diamonds. The side plates were replaced with the symbols of each La Rebelion member & The faceplate had the 'La Rebelion' logo in place of the globe.

Jay: "THOSE VANDALS! CRIMINALS! HOW DARE THEY BESMIRCHED OWENS'S INTERNATIONAL TITLE! EVEN AFTER THEY STOLE IT!"

Jazz: "Vandal?! They just…..updated the title's design. Just to match the people holding it. Nothing wrong with that!"

Jay: "EXCEPT THAT TITLE BELONGS TO CHRIS OWENS! AND THEY STOLE IT, JAZZ!"

Jesus: "Don't worry, holmes." He said to Owens. "We're gonna take care of this baby. After all, possession IS 9/10ths of the law..."

Chris was LIVID seeing the design of the title and La Rebelion showing it off. Just as Magnus was getting back on the apron, Owens immediately tags him in before rolling out and hopping the guard rails. Alexander asked Chris "Where the bloody hell are you going!?" But Owens was too angry to listen. The KNA followed him over the barricade & through the crowd towards La Rebelion! The referee yelled at them from the ring, but no one listened to him. La Rebelion sets the title aside as L.O.W made it to them. Words were exchanged for a brief moment until all six men began throwing fists! And everyone LOVED it!

Jazz: "The Lords of Wrestling have abandoned this match, and now they're brawling with La Rebelion!"

Jay: "I hope Owens & KNA teach La Rebelion a lesson in respecting other people's stuff!"

Both teams were fighting all around the stands as the ref kept yelling! Magnus looked on in the ring, still beside himself over what was happening! But from behind, Mateo crawled over and grabbed one of the Wayne Bros's tag titles and hid it! When Magnus had enough, he went to pick up Mateo...but Mateo SMACKS him in the face with the title!

Jazz: "Wait a minute! What the hell, Mateo!"

Jay: "What a move! A brilliant maneuver by Mateo!"

Alexander was out cold! Mateo slid the title back in the corner and climbed the top rope! The referee turned around just in time to see Mateo hit the Frog Splash on Alexander! He hooks the legs & the ref counted!

1…..2….3!

"Here are your winners: LA FAMILIA & THE WAYNE BROS!"

Jazz: "Mateo just cheated to score the win for the win!"

Jay: "It was a brilliant tactical play from Mateo! And he scored the win for not only his cousins, but for the tag champions as well!"

As La Rebelion & Lords of Wrestling brawled out of the arena, Mateo slowly got up and raised his hands in victory. He was clearly happy with what happened, but the Wayne Bros were not. They get in the ring and confront Mateo. "What was that, dude? Why did you hit him with the title?" Devin asks. "Yeah man, that was uncalled for!" Devin said. Mateo just looks at them. "Look, ese. A win is a win. And that's what I did for you two." "But that's not how we do things! We don't like to win that way!" As Derrick spoke, Freddy & Detrick rolled in and stood in between them & Mateo. "You two better watch it. Don't just get in our cousin's face like that." Freddy said. "Derrick but we didn't like how-" Devin said but Cyrus interrupted. "It doesn't matter. The match is over now. All that matters is that we take those tag titles from you at New Horizon." As the two teams stared down, Mateo watched on with a smile.

Jazz: "These two teams may have won, but now the focus is on New Horizon and the ICW Tag Team Titles!"

Suddenly, Rodri runs in and bulldozes all four guys!

Jay: "Don't count out Sovereignty just yet, Jazz!"

Magnus drags Mateo from the ring and slams him into the steps! He rolls in & helps Montoya beat down La Familia & the Waynes! The crowd boos as they lay out everyone! Rodri picks up Devin and drops him with the The 3 Points (Muscle Buster) while Magnus hits the Neutralizer on Cyrus! Then, they trap Freddy & Derrick in the Kong's Wrath (Hammerlock Guillotine Choke) & Queen's Lock (Bridging Double Chickening)! Once they passed out, Magnus & Rodri let them go before posing with the tag titles to loud boos.

Jay: "Sovereignty just left their mark over the Wayne Bros & La Familia! This is the sight we could see at New Horizon!"

Jazz: "Coming up next, we transition from the tag title scene to the Heavyweight Title! We're gonna take you to a special Q&A session between the three men challenging for the Heavyweight Title!"

"The screen cuts to the conference room. At the large table, Will sat in the middle with the ICW Heavyweight Title sitting on a title stand. Asher sat at the far right of the room while a bored Mark sat closest to the exit at the far left. Standing at the podium is Brandon.

Brandon: "Thank you all for joining us here today. As you all may know, the ICW Heavyweight Championship will now be defended in a Triple Threat Match between the champion, Will Ralston, the winner of the Supernovas Cup, Asher Darma, and the Supernova finalist, Mark Ja-"

Mark: "Just stop right there! If I'm being forced into attending this bullshit of a Q&A, then I better be introduced as the guy who's gonna kick both of their asses and become the NEXT ICW Heavyweight Champion! So hurry up and get this over with!"

Will sat silent while Asher looked at him like a disappointed parent would at a troublemaking kid.

Brandon: "...Alright then. This first question is for the champion, Will Ralston: 'How are you handling the sudden change from a one-on-one match to a triple threat?'

Will: "The way this match came about isn't ideal for me personally. But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter because I will do what I must to walk out still as the ICW Heavyweight Champion. It doesn't matter if I have to face one, two, three, five, ten, twenty, or a hundred. I will overcome all challenges and stand tall at the end."

Mark: He laughs. "You're so full of shit, Will. You don't even believe that you stand a chance against me! I've had your number since the day I stepped foot in this promotion! I'm the biggest threat to your title reign!"

Brandon: "Well, Mark, this question is for you: 'Even though you pinned Will in your first match since arriving, you did lose to Asher Darma in the Supernovas. How can you be so sure that you'll leave as champion?"

Mark: "Because this ain't about the freakin' Supernovas! This is about the top prize in ICW that belongs over my shoulder! That Slumdog sitting at the other end should be THANKING me that I led him to where he is now! If it wasn't for me, people wouldn't even think TWICE about who he is! The fact is that Asher Darma isn't built to be the Heavyweight Champion! And I've slapped around Will enough times to prove he ain't cut out to be champion either! The only one worthy of holding that title sitting there is ME, Mark Jacobs!"

Will remains stoic while Asher gives a quiet clap for his speech.

Brandon: "Now I have a question here for Asher Darma: 'You went through a tough road during the Supernovas, but even while injured and bloodied, you ended up overcoming the odds and beat Mark to win the whole thing. What lengths are you willing to go to in order to win the Heavyweight Championship."

Asher: He takes a deep breath and gives a big grin. "First I would like to say it is such a blessing to be in this moment with two quality wrestlers in Will of the Ralston and Mark for the Jacobs. And yes, the tournament of the Supernovas was tough and quite painful. But it's because of the support from the fans that pay to come and support me that carried me to the end! And I am touched that the people will continue to support me as a potential Champion of the Heavyweights in ICW, so I will make sure to do everything I can to make their dreams come true, just like they made my dreams come true!"

Mark: "Back with this Supernova crap again? Asher's delusional if he thinks that one win is enough to keep me from winning that Heavyweight Title!"

Brandon: "...Another question for the Heavyweight Champion. Simply put, 'Who do you feel is the biggest threat to you?'"

Will: He sits and thinks for a moment. "...Without question: Asher Darma."

Mark: "Are you serious right now!?" He says dumbfounded.

Brandon: "Care to elaborate, Will?"

Will: "He's proven to be one resilient competitor because of who he overcame in the Supernovas. He faced guys bigger, stronger, richer, and pinned Mark to win the whole thing. My biggest worry is Asher pinning Mark again, this time to win the Heavyweight Title."

Mark: "You know what.." he gets up and pushes his chair back. "I've had it with this 'Supernovas' b.s! Asher, you are NOT better than me, and you will NEVER be! And if you're man enough, fight me in that ring tonight! And I'll show EVERYONE that you were never on my level!"

Mark pushes past Brandon and storms out of the room. Everyone remains silent, until Asher picks up the mic.

Asher: "...Oooh wow! A rematch against Mark for the Jacobs tonight? I cannot wait to face him again and provide for the fans one more time! If you'll excuse me, everyone...I must go prepare!" Asher leaves while Will sits there silently.

But then the screen began to go static and cut out! The screen then turns black for a bit until this appeared:

The Revolution Will Be Live:

"Stand With Us...or Fall With Them"

We then see Revolution appear in an undisclosed location. Sai just sat on a chair with his shades on and his hands in his jacket pockets. Christian's back is facing the screen as he paces back & forth. Clay & Ava stand between Sai, facing the camera as well.

Clay: "We interrupt this program to bring you a message from Revolution...to you, Chris Blade." Clay then takes a deep sigh. "We tried with you. We tried, oh we tried. You had a chance to do the smart thing and stand with Revolution. Sure, we laid you out a few times, but those were just warning shots. We always extended the olive branch and allowed you to walk out on your own two feet. All you had to do was tell the world that you stood with the Revolution."

Ava: "Instead, you not only refused our offer, but you've been deliberately trying to hinder our progress with that stunt you pulled against Clay. We've been merciful this far, but now mercy is off the table. So congratulations, you will be the first to know what happens to anyone who tries to stand against us."

Christian: He walks past everyone and lifts the camera to his face. "YOU! WILL! FALL! And this time, you ain't getting back up!"

Christian slams the camera back down and walks off frame. Ava & Clay follow suit, but Sai sits there, staring directly at it. After a minute, he finally gets up and walks off…

The screen cuts back to commentary, where Jay & Jazz are visibly shaken.

Jay: "Well, Jazz, Chris Blade is about to die!"

Jazz: "...Revolution has been extremely dangerous, but we can't rule out Chris Blade doing the same thing he did last week!"

Jay: "Christian McIntyre ain't coming to wrestle, Jazz! He's coming to rip Blade apart!"

Jazz: "Well we'll have to wait and see what goes down in that match later. I can also confirm right now that, after the challenge made by Mark Jacobs, we are going to see him face Asher Darma in a Supernovas Rematch tonight! But right now, it's time for some more tag team action!"

you should see me in a crown (by Billie Eilish) starts to play. When the chorus hits, Red, white and blue pyro erupts from the stage and Angelica walks out with a big smirk on her face. She struts onto the stage and down the ramp, brushing off the booing fans. She enters the ring and poses similarly to Tessa Blanchard.

"The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Marietta, Georgia: 'The American Princess' ANGELICA RHODES!"

Jazz: "Angelica is all smiles right now despite having been targeted by Kailene. Especially after Kailene challenges her to a match at New Horizon….then knocking her on the floor!"

Jay: "Because Angelica knows she's in Kailene's head. She has her all figured out from the moment the two met eye-to-eye! Angelica is looking to give a sneak preview to what she's gonna do against Starr at New Horizon, as well as sending a message to the two women fighting for the ICW Women's Title!"

I Burn (Remix) (by Jeff and Casey Lee Williams) plays, and pillars of fire explode from the stage as Nattie appears on the stage. The crowd cheers and chants her name, but Nattie just had an angry scowl listening to them. She marches to the ring and teases flipping over the ropes, but she scoffs and steps in then waits in the corner.

"Introducing her tag team partner, representing Monarchy, from El Paso, Texas: 'La Chica Fuega' NATALIA RODRIGUEZ!"

Jay: "Speaking of the Women's Title, that's the only thing on this woman's mind. Natalia is the definition of someone who is laser focused, Jazz! She's been vocally clear about what she's focused on: and that's winning the ICW Women's Championship! Not pleasing the crowd and not Kingston VS Sabre!"

Jazz: "Nattie's bitterness has been a dangerous fuel to her fire lately! She's developed a 'take-no-prisoner' attitude and isn't even intimidated by the champion! However, I do wonder if her mind is also on everything else that's going on."

As Angelica & Natalia waited, Aggressive (by Beartooth) plays. Kailene comes out with her hood up, and when the song goes into the chorus, her pyro erupts as she tosses it back! Kailene heads to the ring, embracing the cheers of the crowd. She slaps a few high fives ringside. When she climbs in the ring, she poses on the top turnbuckle. She looks back at Angelica, who hurls insults towards her way.

"Their opponents, first: from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: 'The Supernova' KAILENE STARR!"

Jazz: "Kailene has a big night ahead of her! She gets to settle a score with Angelica at New Horizon, and she's gonna give Rhodes a little sneak peek at what's going to happen."

Jay: "The only preview we'll see from Kailene is how bad she's gonna be embarrassed by Angelica, Jazz!"

Rage of Poseidon (by Apocalyptica) plays, and the crowd pops loud for Daria! The arena's lights darken as she entered from the top of the crowd, title in hand, and slowly descended down the stairs. She walks past the barricade and steps onto the apron where she rests one hand on a ring post, surveying the cheering crowd for a few seconds. Then she gets into the ring through a second rope and leans back against it. She fist bumps Kailene while looking at an angry Nattie glaring back.

"Introducing her tag team partner, representing The Misfits, from Chicago, Illinois: 'the ICW Women's Champion' DARIA ST. LEGER!"

Jazz: "Most days, Daria is indifferent to a lot of things going on around her. But she's been telling Nattie to change her attitude to something that can give her a challenge!"

Jay: "How DARE Daria actively underestimate Nattie! I've never seen her more hungry for any title in my life!"

Jazz: "I can't help but wonder if her focus on the title is so that she doesn't wanna think about DJ VS Jason…."

The bell rings with Angelica & Kailene starting off. They pace each other before locking up. The two aggressively push each other against the ropes! Still locked up, they push & shove each other across the ropes until Kailene has Angelica pushed against the corner! The referee began the five count, and they break clean at the four count. Kailene steps back with a smirk. Angelica brushes her hair back then pushes Kailene. Angelica got in her face and talked down to her. Kailene, in response, punches Angelica in the face! Angelica stumbled in the corner and Kailene pummeled her repeatedly. She pulls Angelica up and hits the Belly-to-Belly Suplex. Angelica stumbles to her feet as Kailene picks her up. The Irish Whip follows, and Kailene attempts the Back Body Drop. But Angelica catches her with the Drop Down Uppercut. Kailene stumbles as Angelica goes for the Cross Rhodes early. However, Kailene turns her body and lifts her up Vertically! Kailene showed off her power as she kept Angelica suspended in the air with one arm and flexed her triceps. She even paces around the ring to cheers from the fans. Angelica just yells for Kailene to put her down, but Kailene keeps her in the air upside down!

Jazz: "Look at the power on display by Kailene, effortlessly carrying Angelica!"

Jay: "She shouldn't be treating The American Princess like this, Jazz! This is just degrading!"

Daria smirks at Angelica's suffering while Natalia looks bitter & indifferent to what's happening. Daria casually extends a hand to Kailene. Even while still lifting Angelica, Kailene tags Daria in! And to make matters worse for Rhodes, Kailene calmly passes her off to the champion, who casually holds her up vertically with one arm! She even did some squats while holding her with one arm to a standing ovation! Finally, Daria got bored of lifting Angelica, so she dropped her HARD with a Vertical Suplex! The crowd was firmly behind Daria, cheering and chanting her name! Angelica weakly crawls to the corner...and Natalia immediately tags her in! Suddenly, those cheers and chants for Daria immediately went towards Natalia! But Nattie didn't pay them any attention! She strictly walked up to Daria and stared her down. The 6'1" champion casually looks down at the angry 5'4" woman while motioning her to show her what she can do. Daria & Natalia immediately lock up...and five seconds later, Daria casually throws Natalia aside! Nattie rolls back to her feet, her anger even more apparent, as Daria just casually glances at her. Nattie goes to lock up again, and again Daria throws her aside with ease!

Jazz: "Daria is showing off her strength against Nattie! She's throwing her aside with relative ease!"

Jay: "And yet Rodriguez keeps getting up and charging at her!"

Nattie slams the canvas in frustration and gets back in her face, the crowd still chanting "LET'S GO NATTIE!" Natalia got in Daria's face as the champ just stood there with her hands in her pocket. Natalia was so sick of this, she SLAPS Daria across her face again! The crowd gasps as Daria just stands there. She sighs and brushes her hair back, but Nattie strikes first with a Roundhouse to the stomach! The kick catches Daria off-guard and Nattie starts punching & kicking the champ against the ropes. She goes for the Irish Whip, but Daria counters. Daria goes for the Back Body Drop, but Nattie flips over her. Daria turns around as Nattie rolls behind her and runs! But Daria showed off her own speed and ran in a different direction. Nattie stops and looks around. She sees Daria running and gets hit with a Shoulder Tackle, flying across the ring!

Jazz: "What a Shoulder Tackle from Daria! When she tries, she shows why she's the most dangerous woman in ICW!"

Jay: "I think Daria's just showing off at this point, Jazz!"

As Natalia got up, a recovered Angelica asked for a tag. But "La Chica Fuega" ignores her and calls out Daria instead. Daria's face went from having a smirk to a look of boredom and tags Kailene instead. Nattie was beyond frustrated at this point, and even the crowd wasn't too happy that Daria tagged out. Despite this, the two former friends pace around the ring. Suddenly, Natalia attacks with a Superkick to Daria! Daria was knocked to the floor as Nattie's temper got the best of her! She runs past Kailene and hits a Suicide Somersault Senton on the champion! Kailene was surprised by the sudden attack, but she was blindsided by Angelica! She tosses her out the ring and begins slamming her into everything: barricade, announce table, apron, ring post, etc. She rolls Kailene back in as Natalia climbs to the top. She jumps & turns and hits a beautiful looking Elbow Drop to Kailene! Nattie covers.

1….2 KICKOUT!

Jazz: "Kailene kicks out of the Elbow Drop, but good Lord did Nattie take the fight to Daria!"

Jay: "She's desperate to take out the Champion! Just like how Angelica is willing to do whatever it takes to remind Kailene of her place!"

Nattie gets up and tags in Angelica. "The American Princess" paces around Kaliene while chuckling. She starts kicking Kailene while calling her a "lesser being" and "pathetic" Kailene was struggling to stand as Angelica kept kicking and stomping. Rhodes soon picks her up and whips her HARD in the corner! Kailene stumbles while grabbing her back. Angelica then hits the Dropkick, knocking her back down! She soon sits Kailene up and applies the Abdominal Stretch! The crowd wanted Kailene to fight back while Angelica tells her to give up! Kailene powers back to his feet and hits the Snapmare on Angelica. She rolls up and eats a Chop to the chest! Kailene goes to whip, but Angelica counters and sends Kailene to the ropes. Nattie drapes the ropes and Kailene falls to the floor. Angelica tags Nattie, who gets down and throws Kailene into the ring post. She picks her up and slams her face on the apron. She rolls her back in the ring and gets on the apron. But when she sees Daria getting up, Nattie runs and hits Meteora off the apron! She climbs back up and hits the Springboard 450! Nattie makes the cover!

1...2...KICKOUT!

Jazz: "Only a two count! Kailene is still in this match!"

Jay: "What good will that do her! Daria's been wiped out by Natalia time & time again!"

Nattie immediately beats Kailene down. But as she's doing this, she sees Daria getting up. So Nattie runs and connects with the Heat Seeking Missile Dive! In the ring, Angelica picks Kailene up and hits multiple Bionic Elbows! Kailene stumbles to the corner. Angelica climbs up, kisses her fist, and punches her face! The crowd chants "ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX!" Kailene blocks the seventh and Flapjacks her in the corner! Both women were down, but Nattie was on the apron. She tags herself in, waits for Kailene to get up, and hits a Springboard Dropkick! But Kailene stumbles to the ropes, rebounds between the ropes, and hits the Lariat! As both women are down, Daria gets back on the apron and reaches her arm out for a tag. Kailene crawls over and tags Daria in!

Jazz: "She's in! Kailene gives the tag to Daria, and Daria looks ready to run wild!"

She cracks her necks then rushes in, running through Nattie! Natalia gets back up, but Daria knocks her back down with a Shoulder Block! She gets back up and Daria scoops her across her body. Angelica tries to attack Daria, so Daria tosses Nattie into Angelica! Angelica rolls out of the ring as Natalia crawls to the corner. Daria cracks his neck & charges. But Nattie kicks her in the face and stuns her! She climbs up the ropes, but Daria catches her with a WICKED headbutt! Nattie slumps back, knocked out cold! Daria then grabs her arm and pulls her into a Spinning Saito Suplex! But Daria wasn't done yet! She pulls her to her feet, hooks her arms, and plants her with the Hook & Ladder! Daria makes the cover!

1….2….BREAKUP!

Angelica runs in and breaks the count right before three!

Jazz: "Daria almost won the match, but Angelica makes the save for her partner!"

Jay: "Just in the nick of time too, Jazz!"

As Angelica attacks Daria, Kailene runs in and tackles her! Both women rolled to the floor and threw forearms & punches at each other! Angelica then kicks Kailene and slams her into the barricade! Angelica was proud of herself...then she turns around and eats a Right Hook from Daria! Nattie gets up and goes for a Suicide Dive, but Daria catches her out of midair and press slams her on the apron! Daria rolls Nattie back in and goes back in. However, a recovered Angelica grabs her foot. Daria swiftly kicks her away, but a split second distraction was enough for Nattie to get up. When Daria gets back in the ring, Nattie hits the Flame Blast (Superkick)! Nattie went to attack more, but Angelica tags herself back in! The crowd immediately boos as Nattie looks PISSED at her tag partner! Angelica taunts the crowd and picks up Daria for the Cross Rhodes. But Daria swiftly counters into a deadlift Vertical Suplex! Both women were down, and Angelica immediately crawled over to Nattie! But when she extended the hand, Nattie hops off the apron! The crowd pops big, and Angelica was taken aback!

Jay: "Wait what!? What is Natalia doing!?

Jazz: "Looks like Nattie had enough of Angelica in this match! Now she wants nothing more to do with this!"

Nattie backed away from the ring as Angelica asks her what she's doing! Unbeknownst to her, Daria went over and tagged in Kailene! Kailene steps back in the ring and stands behind Angelica. She taps her shoulder, Angelica turns around yelling "WHAT!?"...and "The American Princess" eats a Lariat from Starr! She picks her up and locks in Draco's Fangs (Dragon Sleeper)! Angelica begins to fade...just as Daria asks to be tagged back in! Kailene smirks and tags Daria. Nattie watches as Kailene lets go of Draco's Fangs and pushes her into the One-Armed Scissor (Running Single Leg Dropkick! Daria glances back at Nattie and gives a little smirk. Nattie's blood boils as she sees Daria pick up Angelica & Dreamfall (Back Suplex into a front Facebuster)! Daria covers while going eye-to-eye with Natalia!

1...2….3!

"Here are your winners: KAILENE STARR & DARIA ST. LEGER!"

Jazz: "A big win for Kailene and Daria ahead of their matches at New Horizon! Momentum is clearly on their side right now!"

Jay: "That's unfair! This turned into a handicap match, and Angelica was clearly not prepared to face both of them at once!"

The crowd cheers as Daria keeps looking over at Nattie, neither of them breaking eye contact. Eventually, Daria shrugs and turns her back towards her and to the crowd. She and Kailene raised their arms in victory while celebrating in the ring. But the moment Daria actively turned her back towards her, Nattie reached her breaking point! She runs in and shoves Daria into Kailene, knocking Kailene out of the ring! Daria stumbles a bit, and Nattie hits the Firecracker (Backstabber)! Daria rolls to her knees, grabbing her back, and Nattie runs and hits the Flaming Wizard (Shining Wizard) to the back of her head! The crowd actually cheered MORE for Nattie, who stood over Daria, clearly red with anger, and yelled "NOTHING'S GONNA STOP ME, DARIA! I'M THE ONE TAKING YOUR TITLE! She rolls out just as the rest of the Misfits run in to protect Daria! But she just storms away while Daria weakly looks on...a smile still on her face.

Jazz: "My word! Natalia just left a huge message to Daria by dropping her on her back!"

Jay: "What's that you said about momentum, Jazz? It looks to me that Natalia has all the momentum! Because she proved that she can topple that Misfit and finally become champion!"

Jazz: "Is this what Daria wanted out of Natalia? Because this could end up being tougher than she thought at New Horizon!"

The screen cuts to Alexis's office, where The Queen of the South sits alone and lost in thought. Suddenly, Sofia walks in the room full of life & energy!

Sofia: "I'm excited, chica! Cause today is the final show before I whoop Carson again and take the WFA Women's Title at ICW New Horizon!" She says flopping down on Espinoza's couch. "I just saw the eses earlier when they jumped Owens and his two clowns, and that got me hyped to lay another beating on Carson later tonight! I'm tellin ya, last week felt real good and I can't wait to repeat the cycle again tonight!"

Alexis: She sighs. "About that…." She stands up and stands in front of her desk. "...I need you to not attack Carson until your match at New Horizon."

Sofia: "...You can't be serious." She says as her smile fades. "Like...You're kidding, right?"

Alexis: She sighs. "I wish I was, but the board isn't too happy with the stunt we pulled on Carson last week, especially with me instigating everything. And with the big title match happening so soon, they want to ensure that nothing happens between the two of you...specifically you getting her hands on her..."

Sofia: "Que mierda!" She stood right back up. "¡¿Cómo es eso justo?! ¡¿Ella le falta el respeto a MI nombre y usted es el que está siendo castigado?! Carson's been dragging my name through the mud and disrespecting my come up and saying I ain't worthy of that title! And they expect me to NOT punch her every time I see her!?"

Alexis: "I know, Sofia! I know….but there's more at stake here. If I'm gonna continue running ICW, then we can't go in guns blazing everyday like we would if we were out on the streets. At least for tonight, promise me that you won't try to attack her on-sight. Please?"

Sofia: She stays silent for a bit then lets out a loud sigh. "Fine...just for tonight, I won't kick her ass, so I'll just murder her verbally. But if she throws the first punch-"

Alexis: "Then all bets are off. You have free reign to drag her face across the floor and stomp her head in." She says with a smile.

Sofia: "Now THAT'S more like it." She says with a smirk.

Sofia & Alexis fist bump as the screen cuts back to commentary.

Jay: "You know what, Jazz? While it's about time that someone puts that out-of-control woman under control, I don't think she's planning on attacking Carson the first chance she gets!"

Jazz: "Oh don't be rude, Jay! Sofia is a woman of her word! She always keeps her promises. Especially ones made by Alexis Espinoza!"

Jay: "I guarantee you that Sofia's gonna lose it! You'll see…."

Jazz: "Anywho, as we continue on, we wanna take a moment and show you what went down on ICW Training Grounds! Specifically, with Chris Wolf. He was set to face the debuting Rey Pantera Jr. in a match, but all Wolf wanted to do is send a message to the Demolition Champion, Furno Moxley! And he did just that, all at the expense of Rey Pantera Jr…."

The screen cuts back to the 3rd episode of Training Ground. Chris Wolf had beaten down RPJ with a chair before setting it up over his neck.

Chris: He sat there quietly, brushing & pulling his hair, as the chair chokes RPJ by his throat. "So this is where I find myself, huh?" Chris said. "I have a very important title match at New Horizon, against a well-established superstar, and yet….here I am, stuck on this downgrade of a B-Tier show. All because no one takes me seriously. Everyone sees me as the guy on the very bottom of the totem pole. Just like how everyone thought Matt Lopez was gonna be the breakout star of The Pack. Matt overlooked me...you people laughed at me...and Furno Moxley sees me as some little punk…..." Chris presses the chair deeper on RPJ's neck as he looks closer at the hard cam. "They say the eyes are windows to the soul…so Moxley, I want you to get a good look into my eyes. Because in my soul… you'll see a man with nothing to lose...you see a dangerous sociopath that's going to BUTCHER you and take what I NEED! I want the world to watch New Horizon, because it won't be a joke when I drown this ring in your blood and I PROVE…I FINALLY PROVE that I AM the Apex Predator, I AM the Alpha Hunter, and I AM the most sadistic and violent beast that anyone's EVER SEEN! There won't be anything funny at New Horizon when I become Demolition Champion ...and if any of you still look at me as a joke...then here's my message to you all…"

He then places the chair around RPJ's neck and ascends to the top rope. He looks back at him & hits the Call of Lupa (Coffin Drop) on the chair around his neck! Chris looks down at RPJ, who begins bleeding from his mouth.

The screen cuts back to ringside, where Hannah stood in the ring.

Hannah: "Ladies & gentlemen, please welcome the ICW Demolition Champion: FURNO MOXLEY!"

The crowd pops as the lights go off. Radio chatter is heard while the spotlights shine everywhere. After a brief pause, a female soldier says:

"Release the Hounds!

"I repeat,"

"RELEASE THE HOUNDS!"

Redesign, Rebuild, & Reclaim (by Downstrait) starts to play. For a brief while, the spotlights go crazy then dim altogether. The lights soon come back on and Furno, Aiden, & Raptor all walk down the crowd together. But when they made it to the barricade, Furno stopped them. "You guys head out. Imma handle this alone." Aiden & Raptor nod and head back through the crowd. Moxley leaps over the barricade, climbs into the ring, and holds up his Demolition title.

Hannah: "Furno, we just saw what Chris Wold had to say to you on Training Grounds. Can we get your thoughts on what was said?"

Furno: "Growing up, I learned that the loudest ones in the room are the weakest. And for the past few weeks, Chris Wolf has been real loud, especially when talking about me & my title. For the past few weeks, he's been going on-and-on about how nobody notices him and that he's the toughest guy here and that I overlook him as a credible challenger." He takes the mic from Hannah's hand and tells her to step out. When she leaves, Furno faces the stage. "Here's the thing, Chris: I never listen to whiny little BITCHES that think they deserve something! So if you have the balls to say what you want, then get out here & say it to my face!"

Fatal (by Critical Mass) starts to play. Everyone boos as Chris Wolf marches out to the ring. He slides in and gets directly into Furno's face! So close that their heads are bumping together!

Chris: "Whiny little bitches!? You don't understand what I had to go through to get to this point, Moxley! You don't understand the pain I had to go through only to be laughed at by people like YOU! I've been dragged down and belittled for too long and I had ENOUGH! I'm gonna show the world that I'm the toughest S.O.B-"

Furno: "SHUT UP!" Furno said, shoving Wolf back to a pop. "You've been doing a lot of talking, now I'M talking, so you better listen or else imma drop you where you stand!" Wolf turns away, wiping the sweat off his face. "Everything you just said is the problem with you, Wolf! You're nothing more than a glorified stunt double: a guy that throws himself into anything & everything just so people can pay attention to you! BUT I HAVE TO DO WHAT I DO JUST TO SURVIVE! I earned my living by getting set on fire! I had to be thrown into barbed wires just so I can afford to keep the lights on at my house! I had to smash people's heads into thumbtacks just to have enough money to buy food for the month! I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE BLEEDING OUT IN THE STREETS OF OHIO JUST TO GET BACK MY MOMMA'S STOLEN RENT MONEY! This ain't a game, Wolf! THIS IS A WAY OF LIFE FOR ME! I sacrificed too much to hold this title, and I'll be DAMNED if I gave it up to a soft as shit wannabe psycho that thinks he can out fight me!"

This got Chris's attention. He turned around and immediately got back in Moxley's face! The crowd chants "MOX-LEY" as Furno holds the title in Wolf's face. Chris turns around, shaking his head and trying not to snap!.

Furno: "I want you to understand something, Wolf! I want you to look at me...I SAID LOOK AT ME!" He forcefully turned Chris so that they were eye-to-eye! "Look at me & understand what you've gotten yourself into! Because you're looking at the three headed cerberus! I will not hesitate to cut you open and paint this ring with your blood just to keep my title! You better be ready to kill me at New Horizon, because I will damn sure butcher you to the point your girlfriend can't even kiss you at night! And by the time I'm done with you, you'll finally get it through your thick, hard-headed mind that I'M the Alpha & Omega of ICW!"

The crowd began cheering and chanting for Furno! Wolf was BEYOND pissed at this point, and he starts talking smack at Furno! They two verbally went back & forth until Furno finally had enough! "You wanna prove yourself, tough guy! Let's go then!" Moxley removed his jacket and tossed his title out the ring! "DO SOMETHING!" He yells! "WE DON'T GOTTA WAIT TIL THE PPV! WE CAN DO THIS RIGHT NOW!" Chris Wolf paced back & forth, looking at Furno! The crowd was ready to see a fight, but Chris just backs off & leaves the ring! The crowd was disappointed and boos him! Furno gets on the ropes and tells Chris to get back in here and fight! "WE'RE DOING THIS AT NEW HORIZON!" Wolf yells! "AND IM TAKING THAT THAT TITLE OFF YOUR HANDS!" Wolf backs away and leaves, while a pissed off Furno just pace back & forth.

Jazz: "Wow. That face-off was nothing short of intense! Furno made his statement clear: nothing, and no one, will take the Demolition Title as long as Furno lives!"

Jay: "Yeah but I've never seen Chris Wolf so… uncomfortably unhinged ever! He's willing to go to extremely unsafe lengths just to prove to everyone he's the most violent man in ICW!"

Jazz: "I can safely say that the Demolition Title match at New Horizon is gonna be bloody & violent! Right now, though, it's time for our next match of the evening between Chris Blade & Christian McIntyre. Before we get into that, Chris has a response to Revolution…"

The screen cuts Chris Blade sitting backstage. His entire lower body is taped up as well as half of his upper body. But his face did not show pain, instead it showed extreme rage.

Blade: "...I know what's gonna happen soon: Christian McIntyre is going to kick my ass. It happened last week, the week before….in fact, Revolution's been kicking my ass from the moment they showed up."

Chris Blade pulls himself up and stares at the camera.

Blade: "It's no secret, Revolution: we all know I'm not at 100%, he'll I'm not even at 50%. But as long as I'm at 1%, I'm gonna stand against your Revolution! You're gonna have to kill me to stop me from killing your revolution! Tonight, y'all can kick my ass and throw me all over the place, but I PROMISE you: I will make sure Revolution will regret ever targeting Chris Blade!"

As Chris walks away, the screen fades back to the arena.

Indestructible (by Disturbed) plays. The crowd stays silent for a few, but when they see Revolution walk out, the bulk of the crowd surprisingly started cheering more than booing! The boos were still audible, but much less so than the past few weeks. Christian marches to the ring wearing nothing but his jeans and sneakers and a "REVOLUTION" tank top. He steps inside and faces the stage, waiting for his opponent to come out.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, representing Revolution, residing in Miami, Florida, standing 6'3" & weighing in at 255 lbs: 'The Bloodborne' CHRISTIAN MCINTYRE!"

The rest of Revolution made their way to the commentary table. Clay focused on filming Christian while Sai leaned against the barricade next to Jazz. Ava took one look at Jay, and Jay immediately took his headset off. "Here you go, Ms. Ava Knight! All set up for you & Revolution." He says getting up & sitting on the floor. Ava calmly sat next to Jazz and put the headset on.

Ava: "Nice to see you again, Jazz. You & Jay haven't forgotten who we are, have you?"

Jazz: "O-Of course not! You all are Revolution. And you all have been making overwhelming waves across ICW!"

Ava: "Good." She says calmly. "Just wanted to make sure you & Jay didn't need reminders. Because I'm sure you already see that Revolution isn't in the best of moods tonight. We heard what Chris Blade said just now, and I can assure that Christian is going to make him wish for death by the end of this."

Unusual Habit (by Silent Partner) starts to play. McIntyre turns to see Chris Blade limping his way out to the ring, not bothering to pose or high five the crowd.

"Introducing his opponent, from Newark, New Jersey, standing 6ft tall & weighing in at 218 lbs: 'The Silver Bullet of Professional Wrestling' CHRIS BLADE!"

Ava: "Jazz." She says. "I want you to watch closely at what's happening."

Jazz: "Chris Blade limping his way to the ring?"

Ava: "One man, already on the verge of collapsing, is trying desperately to fight against a Revolution. He wants to stop something beyond his control, and there lies his greatest mistake: no matter what he wants to do, none of it will ever be enough to stop our Revolution."

As soon as the bell rings, Blade charges right at McIntyre! But Christian catches him and rams him into the corner! He hits multiple Shoulder Blocks to the injured ribs! He then grabs his neck and flings him all the way across the ring! Blade weakly rolls to the opposite corner, in clear agonizing pain! Christian charges at him again, but Blade rolls out of the way! McIntyre eats the empty corner! And despite barely being able to stand, "The Silver Bullet" rushes over and hits the Jon Woooo Dropkick to his face! Blade runs back and hits him in the face again! He hits the Dropkick several more times until Christian's face is busted open! McIntyre stumbles to the ropes, and Chris charges & hits the Crossbody and knocks Christian & himself over the ropes to the floor!

Jazz: "Chris Blade is taking the fight straight to McIntyre! He's throwing everything he has at him!"

Ava: "Wait a moment…." She says, unfazed at what's happening.

Blade weakly pills himself back in the ring. He lets out a scream and runs across the ring. Blade leaps up the corner and hits the Triangle Moonsault! Except McIntyre POUNCES HIM OUT OF MIDAIR!

Jazz: "OH MY GOD!" She screeches in horror!

Ava: "...There's no God here. Not for Chris Blade." She says.

The way Chris crashed to the floor HORRIFIED everyone! Clay just laughs as he goes to get a close up view of Chris is horrific pain! The referee rolls out to check on Chris, but Christian wasn't going to end this here! He grabs Chris by his hair with one hand and throws him back up! He grabs his waist out of midair and German Suplexes him on the back of his neck DIRECTLY on the ramp! Blade laid there motionless as the fans were near silent, shocked and awe at the massacre! Christian drags his opponent like a corpse and dumps him back in the ring. The referee goes to check on Blade, but "The Bloodborne" pushes the ref out of his way! He wipes the blood from his face & nose then places his boot on the back of his head, yelling "THIS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TRY TO STOP REVOLUTION!" He deadlifts Chris on his shoulders and hits the Buckle Bomb! Blade just took five steps forward as Christian runs the ropes and LARIATS his head off!

Jazz: "That Lariat just took his head off! This….this is getting painful to watch!"

Ava: "Chris Blade chose this path, Jazz. And this is the consequences of such a path."

Blade flips and crashes on his neck & upper back! The crowd lets out a loud GASP as Christian looks down at his victim! He rolls Blade over and places his hands on his chest for a cover.

1...2...KICKOUT!

Jazz: "He kicked out! Chris Blade is still alive!"

Ava: "Pity." She says. "It's only going to get worse for him…"

Christian was PISSED that Blade kicked out! He was so pissed that he forearms his skull relentlessly! As bad as those were, McIntyre made it so much worse when he HEADBUTTS Chris in the face, breaking his nose!

Jazz: "He just break his nose! Oh dear lord!"

Ava: "We told you. Christian isn't here to wrestle. He's here to dismantle anyone standing against Revolution."

Blood splatters everywhere! The referee had no choice but to step in! He looks over Blade, whose nose is bent at a horrible angle, and grabs him by the tape around his midsection. Christian then throws him in a corner. He chokes Blade by his neck….and knees him HARD in the ribs! Chris slumps down, coughing violently. But the massacre continued as Christian grabbed Blade and threw him far with the Overhead Belly-to-Belly! Blade's whole body bounced off the canvas & fell between the ropes & to the floor!

Ava: "Are you learning, Jazz? Are you finally learning what happens to everyone that doesn't stand with us?"

Jazz: "This….this is too much to watch…."

Christian slid out the ring and stood over his helpless opponent. He then lifts Blade by his legs and hits a Front Face Slam to the apron followed by a Wheelbarrow Suplex to the floor! The crowd watches on as Chris is ragdolled across ringside! Finally, McIntyre grabs Blade by the tape barely around his waist and rolls him back in! Christian steps back in and once again stands over Blade. "The Bloodborne" tears off his shirt, revealing his extremely chiseled abs & pecs. The women in the crowd, along with a few men, cheered and whistled at the sight of a shirtless Christian. But McIntyre was too focused on pummeling his blood-covered opponent, so he uses the shirt to choke Blade out! "You should've stood with us….or stood out of our way!" He said in his ear! He finally lets him go and tosses the shirt aside, picks him up on the shoulders, and flattens him with the Samoan Drop! McIntyre covers!

1….2….KICKOUT!

Jazz: "Oh no….he kicked out again…."

Ava: "Because he's stubborn. He won't stop until either he accomplishes his goal or until we beat him to a degree that he never comes back. And I will say this now: Christian is prepared to beat him all night long if he has to."

The crowd is surprised that Chris Blade is still kicking out! Even McIntyre was growing more and more pissed off! He paces back & forth, watching Chris helplessly crawling at him. Chris grabs McIntyre by his ankles and barely pulls himself up. He threw pathetic looking jabs at McIntyre's abs, but they did absolutely nothing to faze him! Christian then grabs his fist, almost breaking his hand, and whips him HARD to the corner! The ring practically shook as Blade collapsed back down! McIntyre walks over to him, yanks him to his feet, and whips him AGAIN! Blade crashes to the corner so violently, he was sent flying over and back to the floor!

Jazz: "Just stay down….it's not worth it…not losing your health & well-being."

Ava: "There's no point in begging, Jazz. His fates been sealed the moment he chose to stand against us."

McIntyre slides back out of the ring and places Blade on the apron. The crowd watches Christian climb on the apron and gasps when he attempts a Gutwrench Suplex on the floor! But when McIntyre lifts him up, Blade holds onto the ropes and pulls himself back in! McIntyre goes to grab him, but Blade desperately grabs Christian's head and pulls him by his neck on the ropes! Christian turns away, coughing and trying to breathe normally. But out of sheer willpower, "The Silver Bullet" pulls himself back up! He took this small chance to run the ropes! He leaps over the ropes….and CHRIS BLADE HITS THE PAROXYSM (Running Leg Lariat) ONTO CHRISTIAN STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR!

Jazz: "MY LORD! CHRIS BLADE JUST WIPED OUT CHRISTIAN MCINTYRE!"

Ava: "NO!"

The crowd popped HARD & LOUD for that maneuver! "HOLY SHIT" chants rang across the arena as both guys laid there! Jay just looked dumbfounded at what he saw! Even the Revolution went from being calm to somewhat concerning! Ava stood up from the table, her face losing that chill expression and was replaced with worry. Clay & his camera ran over and asked if McIntyre was okay, a look of panic on his face! Sai and his deadpan expression ….he just sat there and pulled his shades down a tad bit. The referee slides out and looks over both guys! He contemplates stopping the match right there...until he sees Chris Blade somehow still moving! He uses the steps to pull himself to his feet and dragged himself over to McIntyre! He barely pulled him up without falling over, and he rolled him back in! Chris gets back in and just collapses on top of McIntyre! The referee runs in and makes the count!

1…..

…...

thr-KICKOUT!?

The crowd was at a loss for words! Clay almost looked as if he would pass out! Ava's concerned expression quickly went back to being calm when McIntyre kicked out. She sits back down as Sai casually pushes his shades back against his eyes.

Jazz: "That….that was Chris's best shot! And McIntyre just withstood it!"

Ava: "...Now he's going to be brought back down to reality…"

Chris Blade was in pain, he struggled to breathe normally, blood rushed from his head & broken nose, and he was at a loss! He slowly crawls over to a corner and pulls himself up against it! He starts banging his head, slapping himself, doing anything to ignore the pain! He looks over at Revolution...and does the cross motion with his wrist! He waits for Christian to get back up with bated breaths! When he's back to his feet, "The Silver Bullet of Pro Wrestling" charges full speed and goes for another Paroxysm!...

Christian catches him out of midair, runs around the ring...and HE POWERBOMBS HIM SO FAR OUT OF THE RING, CHRIS BLADE CRASHES THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!

Jazz: "HOLY SHIT!"

Ava: She stays silent.

EVERYONE lost their MINDS! "HOLY SHIT!" & "THIS IS AWESOME" chants from the crowd changed into "HE JUST KILLED HIM!" chants! Ava calmly sits there with her legs folded, looking down at the lifeless body of Chris Blade! Jay looked HORRIFIED while Clay was ECSTATIC! He was cheering loudly and commentating on his personal camera! Sai….just sat there. And Christian...there wasn't any joy or satisfaction on his face! It was an angry, almost monstrous expression instead! Christian steps out of the ring and grabs the mutilated corpse by his arm and drags him back into the ring. McIntyre picks him up...and flattens him with the Bloodrush (Pumphandle STO) He simply covers him by placing his hands on the lifeless body.

3!

"Here is your winner: CHRISTIAN MCINTYRE!"

Jazz: "I….what...did we just see?"

Ava: "A message." She says.

Jazz: "...Huh?"

Ava: "This was a message to the entire world. It doesn't matter who you are, where you came from, or how long you've been here. No one is stopping the Revolution."

Ava takes the headset off, and she, Clay, & Sai enter the ring. Christian stood up and looked down at the damaged body of Chris Blade. Revolution looks around the crowd, now actively cheering them! "NOW YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STAND AGAINST US!" Christian yells. "IF YOU DON'T STAND WITH US, THEN YOU FALL WITH HIM!" He points to Blade's body.

Jazz: "I...I am speechless…."

Jay: He gets back on the chair and puts on the headset. "DID YOU SEE THAT, JAZZ! THAT WASN'T A MATCH, THAT WAS A MASSACRE! WE JUST WATCHED THE POWER OF REVOLUTION ON FULL DISPLAY! NO ONE CAN STOP THEM!"

Revolution all leave the ring as EMTs finally run out to help Chris. They set up the stretcher and placed it under his back. But as Revolution walks, Sai looks up at the titantron ….and stops. Ava, Clay, & Christian look at Sai...then up at the titantron as well. The crowd begins to gasp at what they were seeing in the ring: Chris Blade, bloodied & broken,still trying to stand up on his own power!

Jay: "No….no way…."

Jazz: "That's impossible!"

Jay: "HOW IS HE STILL MOVING!"

Jazz: "I DON'T KNOW!"

Revolution just turns to the ring and watches. They watch Chris Blade crawling towards the ropes… seemingly towards them. Christian was through with this now! He marches back to the ring...until Sai places his arm in front of him! Christian was taken aback by this, as well as Clay & Ava. Sai stares directly at Blade ...and he casually heads back to the ring! Sai walked up the steps and stood on the apron, hands in his pockets & looking down at Chris. Blade did everything he could to pull himself up with the ropes ...and went face-to-face with Russo. Sai takes his hands out of his pockets and takes a mic out of his jacket. He then slowly removes his shades and stares Blade right in his eyes. Everyone watched with bated breath as Sai stood there. The seconds went by as time went by slowly. Finally, Sai lifts the mic to his face….

Sai: "...New Horizon."

Russo drops the mic, puts his shades back on, and puts his hands back in his pockets! Blade looked angry and surprised at the two words he said. Russo walked back to the others, who all appeared somewhat surprised. But Russo just looked stoic as he walked past them and headed to the back! The rest of Revolution looks back at Chris, who slumps back down to the mat, and simply follows Sai out of the arena.

Jazz: "Did...Did Sai Russo just challenge Chris Blade… for New Horizon!"

Jay: "There's no way, Jazz! He...I can't believe it!"

Jazz: "We will have to keep you updated on this surprising development! In the meanwhile, we're gonna take you backstage to Hannah!"

The screen cuts to Hannah back in the interview room.

Hannah: "Ladies & gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time: Asher Darma!"

Asher appears on screen with his usual bright smile.

Asher: "It is so very nice to see you again, Hannah! Especially with something so important happening soon, I do enjoy these conversations with you!"

Hannah: "Thank you Asher! It's especially nice to have these moments to talk with you as well! So, earlier today, you had a Q&A session along with Mark Jacobs and Will Ralston. But it ended when Mark threw down the challenge to face you again tonight, just mere days before the Heavyweight Title match at New Horizon! What made you decide to accept Mark's challenge this close to a life-changing match?"

Asher: "You are correct, Ms. Hannah! I did accept this match so close to a match that can change the lives of myself and my friends & family back home! But this is what the American Dream is about: working hard and giving back to the people! And I won't be in this spot without the love and support from everyone! So whenever I get the chance to go out and give back that same love that they have given me!"

After Asher finishes up, he looks over and sees Will Ralston walking up to the two of them.

Will: He looks at Darma for a few seconds. "Y'know, Asher: I respect your ethics and dedication to fight. I also respect the passion to help your friends & family through wrestling. But what you're about to do is not wise. It's one thing to accept a challenge, but to do it days before you're set to fight for this?" He holds up the Heavyweight Title. "...What you go through tonight will only get worse when you're in the ring against me."

Asher: "Oh Will of the Ralston, thank you for the humbling advice! But I cannot back away from any challenge, and I cannot turn away any opportunity to please the people! But to repay you for your advice, please allow me to give one of my own! I see the way you glance at the people, and it feels disconnected. I know you wish to be a proud champion, but title or no title, never abandon the ones who supported you..or they will abandon you." The two stared down for a few seconds before Asher returned to his smile! "But I'm sure everything will be alright! For now though, I must get ready for my match with Mark for the Jacobs! Goodbye, everyone!"

He waves at Hannah & Will before heading out. Hannah waves back, but Will just stands there as the screen fades.

The screen then shifts to Brandon standing in the hallway.

Brandon: "Please welcome my guest at this time: Nyx Rosewood!"

Nyx walks up to Brandon with a straightforward look.

Brandon: "It appears that Traci Star still continues to target you. Specifically about the Mad Angel. Simply put, how do you plan on dealing with her?"

Nyx: "...You're right. She keeps targeting me. And I've had enough of it!"

She takes the mic out of Brandon's hand and walks down the hall. The cameras follow her down until she reaches Gorilla position and walks out to the arena. The camera switches to ringside as everyone sees Nyx walk out and roll in the ring.

Nyx: "TRACI! I'm sick of the games! I'm sick of the cryptic threats against me! Get out here now so I can finally end this!"

As she paces in the ring, the screen cuts to a pitch black room. Soon, Traci steps put off the darkness with her hair down & laughing. She soon lifts her head up, revealing to have the same face paint as "The Mad Angel."

Traci: "A game...oh my dear Nyx Rosewood...how you have yet to comprehend the scope of your reality. Even now, you stand there blissfully ignorant to the extent of your existence. You've served one purpose, and one purpose only...to be the vessel for the Mad Angel deep inside you. But now...your life's purpose will soon come to an end, Nyx Rosewood."

Traci sets up and & lights several blue candles next to her while humming a soothing melody.

Traci: "...The preparations are now complete...the pieces are all set in place...now is the time to face the end, Nyx Rosewood. If you truly seek revenge against me, then come to me...come to me here...at the Church of the Mad Angel!"

Traci flings her arms out, and the blue flames spread to different candles around her. The once pitch black room now lit up to show a large altar inside a church! The altar was decorated with "Mad Angel" artifacts & twisted imagery! Traci then laughs a hideous laugh as the arena lights went a dark blue! One by one, the lights went off until the ring was the only thing lit up! Nyx just watched as Traci keeps laughing & laughing…. And then everything went dark. And the only thing left was Traci's laugh….

Once the laughing stopped, the screen cuts to Evan Neal in his office with Carson Michaels. Carson had some bandages on her face and a few healed cuts. She was sitting in a chair, silently, while Evan paced the room.

Neal: "Now now, Ms. Carson! I know last week was a disaster thanks to that hostile woman Alexis calls "Sofia Reynoso" but I have ensured that nothing like last week will happen again today!"

Carson: "You told me I would be okay."

Neal: "Yes, and I made sure that Sofia would not enter the building last week. And she didn't! But I did not account for her willing to stick around in the parking lot all night long just to attack you! And for that, I do apologize! But no need to worry, because if she puts her hands on you at all tonight, then she loses her chance to face you for your WFA Women's Title!"

Carson: "...So what you're telling me is that she gets to assault me in a parking lot….TWICE, smash my head through my OWN car window, and all she gets is a final warning!?"

Evan: "...Yes?"

Carson: She takes a deep breath. "...You know what? That's not good enough, Neal! I'm tired of her walking all over me and getting away with it because of how people value her! Tonight, I'm gonna set everything straight and remind the world just who the hell I am!"

Neal: "Now Ms. Carson, let's just calm down a second- Where are you going?!"

It was too late. Carson got up and stormed out of the room as the screen cut back to commentary.

Jazz: "There's a lot of tension from both sides ahead of the face-off later tonight. And with how much Sofia & Carson have been at war with each other, I can't imagine what'll go down between them!"

Jay: "I don't blame Carson for how she feels! I mean, look at her! The scars from Sofia are clearly visible on her! Someone needs to knock her down a peg, and I believe Carson will be the one!"

Jazz: "Don't look now, but it appears that we're gonna be joined by a guest for our next match."

The cameras move to reveal Will Ralston walking out and sitting next to commentary. But he didn't put on a headset, opting to simply watch.

A House That's Not Quite Home (by Junior) starts to play, and the crowd reacts with loud cheers! Asher walks out full of energy and waves to the people. He makes his way down the walkway...until Mark Jacobs runs out and attacks him from behind!

Jazz: "Look at this nonsense! Mark jumped Asher just as he was walking out!"

Jay: "Mark ain't wasting time, Jazz! He's out to make a statement at the expense of Darma!"

Everyone boos at Mark for attacking Asher from behind. And Mark responds by grabbing and tossing Asher into the barricade! "This is who you people want as a champion?!" He yells while slamming him into everything. "He better off being a dog back in the Slums!" The crowd boos Mark even more, and he responds by flipping them off! He drags Asher over and slams him against the commentary table. He looks at Will, who immediately stood up and got back in his face. The two stared down for a bit until Jacobs turned away. He picks up Darma and hooks his arm. He teased the X-Plex...but then turns and THROWS Darma into Ralston!

Jazz: "Sweet Jesus! He just threw Asher right at the Heavyweight Champion!"

Jay: "What a display of dominance by Jacobs! He's showing the whole world why he's the one to hold that title!"

Asher & Will both crashed HARD! They collapse over the chair and into the barricade! Mark smiles at his handiwork then grabs Asher & rolls him in the ring. Jacobs turns back to Will and grabs him by his head! He hooks the champion….and powerbombs him over the barricade! Will was sent crashing into several fans, and Mark just smiled and flexed his muscles at the crowd! "I'm the REAL champ! I own that ring and everything around it!" He yells to booing fans! But when he turns back to the ring, Asher comes flying over the ropes and takes down Mark with a Tope Con Hilo!

Jazz: "My word! Asher just came flying outta nowhere and wiped out Mark! And the match hasn't even begun!"

Jay: "What an unsafe worker he is! He could've taken Mark out permanently!"

Jazz: "And the fans would rejoice!"

The crowd pops for Asher taking out Mark! Darma removes his entrance gear and rolls Mark back in the ring. Once they were in, the ref officially started the match.

Mark stumbles back to his feet, and Asher hits the Rolling Thunder Dropkick! Mark goes flying into the corner! Mark is leaning against it as Asher runs & hits the Double Knees! He then leaps on Mark's chest and throws him with the Monkey Flip! Mark lands hard across the ring! And when he gets up, Asher hits the Yoshi Tonic Driver! He covers!

1...2 KICKOUT!

Mark tries to crawl away, but Asher wouldn't let him escape! He pulls his opponent back to his feet and forearms him several times. Mark falls back against the ropes as Asher continues the attack! He steps back a bit and runs to Clothesline him over the ropes, but Mark blocks by kicking his arm! Asher stumbles and "The Bane of Existence" grabs and throws Darma into a corner! Jacobs wipes his face and creates some distance between them. Mark charges, but Asher slips past the ropes to the apron. Mark crashes on the turnbuckles face first, and Asher connects on the Slingshot Double Knees Facebreaker! Mark bounced almost across the ring, and Asher scrambles to make the cover!

1...2 KICKOUT!

Jazz: "A hot start by both men! And they don't seem to be giving an inch so far!"

Jay: "Mark is hanging in there, Jazz! Don't worry!"

Jazz: "Mark should be the one worried about Asher toppling him for a second time!"

Mark may have kicked out, but the fire in Darma's spirit only grew! He got the crowd amped up! When Mark crawled, Asher Roundhouse kicked him in the chest repeatedly! But Mark suddenly grabs his leg! He pops up Asher on his shoulders and Buckle Bombs him in the corner! Asher stumbles forward, and "The Bane of Existence" Back Body Drops him! Asher was sent flying high in the air before crashing down hard! Jacobs takes a bit of a breather as the crowd tries to rally "The Slumdog." Jacobs lifts Asher by his head and attempts the X-Plex. But Darma suddenly counters into the Hurricanrana, sending him face first into the middle turnbuckle! Darma lifts Mark against the corner. He chops him in the chest for good measure then runs across the ring. Asher runs at Mark, but Mark flips him over the ropes. Luckily, Darma lands safely on the apron. Mark turns around and eats a Forearm to the face! He stumbles back enough for Asher to attempt the Paved Road (Slingshot Tornado DDT from the apron, through the middle ropes and into the ring). But Mark had it scouted! When Asher went for the DDT, "The Bane of Existence" used his strength to hold him up and toss him out of the ring! Asher lands front first on the floor! And when he tries to get back up, Mark runs the ropes and hits a rope assisted Tope Con Hilo of his own!

Jay: "Jazz! Did you just see that!? What power & athleticism by Mark right now!"

Jazz: "He's a great athlete, I'll admit. He's unbearable when he reminds everyone about how great he is!"

Mark gets back up and laughs. "I'M THE BEST GOING TODAY!" he yells to loud boos. The crowd responds with "NO YOU'RE NOT!" And that pissed Mark off. To the point where he grabs Asher by his neck and Chokeslams him on the apron! He then drags him again and hits the X-Plex on the ramp! Mark finally throws Asher back in the ring and waits for him to get up. When Asher does get up, Mark Springboards off the ropes and hits a Diving Lariat! The pin follows.

1...2..KICKOUT!

Jazz: "Even after all of that, Mark still can't put away Asher!"

Jay: "Mark has Asher right where he wants him! Asher is about to learn just how superior Mark Jacobs is!"

Mark gets up and sits up Darma. He then kicks him HARD across his back, making a loud thump! Asher clutches his back and rolls around in pain! But Mark didn't lighten up! He keeps kicking him in the chest, the sides, and even boots him across his face! The kick knocked him OUT! Mark scoops Asher and goes for a Deadlift Belly-to-Back Suplex! But Asher flips over him and lands on his feet! When Mark turns around, Asher catches him with a Roaring Elbow to the chest! The crowd pops for Asher as Mark stumbles a bit! "The Bane of Existence" then responds with a SHARP Knife Edge Chop across Darma's chest! The crowd "WOOOs" to the chop while Asher clutches his chest. But then "The Slumdog" connects on a Spinning Backhand to Mark's face! He was knocked loopy for a bit, but then he fires back with two rapid punches to the ribs! Mark then Spin Kicks him in the midsection! Asher bends forward, and Mark kicks him straight back up! He stomps both feet and knocks Darma down to his knees! He grabs the arms and goes for the Comatose! But in one swift motion: Asher leaps in the air, hits the Snap Hurricanrana, and rolls him right into the Shanti (Gogoplata)!

Jazz: "The Shanti is in! Mark Jacobs is trapped!"

Jay: "Mark needs to hurry up and get to the ropes!"

The crowd went NUTS for Asher! Mark flailed around the ring, trying desperately to find a way out of the move! But Asher had the hold locked in deep! He even had his eyes closed and whispered "Shanti...Shanti..." Mark tried to reach for the ropes, but he was just a few inches too far! And he found himself slowly fading! The fans were cheering and hoping Mark would submit! But "The Bane of Existence" surprised everyone by deadlifting Asher off the canvas! He holds Asher in the air….then Powerbombs him back down! Mark lifts him off the ground and Powerbombs him a second time! Then a third time! Then a fourth time! And after Powerbombing him FIVE times, Mark pops Asher on his knees, grabs his arms, and pulls him into a Comatose to the face! Mark makes the cover!

…...

thr-KICKOUT!

Jay: "HOW!? HOW DID ASHER KICK OUT!"

Jazz: "Asher has heart! Asher has passion! Asher has the willpower to follow his dreams and the dreams of the people that love & support him! And their dreams is to see him beat Mark Jacobs!"

The crowd was going mental for Darma! Mark just sat there, shocked that Darma survived his onslaught! "DARMA" chants rang across the arena, and it pissed off Jacobs a lot! He got up and went behind Darma. He drags him to his knees and pulls his arms from behind. But when he went for the Deep Coma (Comatose but to the back of the head), Asher counters by jumping in the air and spiking Mark with the Poison-Rana! The crowd popped HUGE! Mark rolls to his knees, and Asher charges & Rolling Thunder Uppercuts him to the corner! Mark crashes HARD in the corner! And as he tries to pull himself up, Asher comes running towards him! But Jacobs blocks with a Kick using both his feet! He then kicks him far back then ascends up top! But when he made it there, Asher jumped up at him...and hit Back to the Slums (Springboard Spanish Fly) off the top rope!

Jazz: "Back to the Slums! Asher just wiped out Mark! This could be the end for 'The Bane of our Existence!'"

Jay: "Not again! This can't be happening again!"

The crowd was on FIRE again! They all united for Asher to beat Mark! Mark is out cold in the middle of the ring! And Asher gets back up and ascends to the top rope! He presses his hands together in the air, calling for Shoot for the Stars (Double rotation Shooting Star Press)! But before he could jump, Will Ralston runs in the ring and attacks Mark! This causes the ref to stop the match!

"Your winner by disqualification: MARK JACOBS!"

Jazz: "Will just cost Asher his match against Mark! And now the champion is laying a beating on him!"

Jay: "Will's temper just cost Asher this match! Thanks to him, Mark Jacobs finally got a win over Darma!"

Jazz: "Yeah, a tainted win!"

Everyone booed Will LOUDLY! Asher just watches, unable to process what just happened. Meanwhile, Will was laying a beating on Jacobs! He just punches him repeatedly! Even so, the crowd chanted "BULL-SHIT!" Darma climbs back down and tries to pull him back! Instead, Will turns and SHOVES Asher to the ground! Asher was shocked and Will was booed even more! Ralston looked down at Darma and told him "The people can have their opinions of me! The fact is that no one's gonna take my title away from me! Not Mark and especially not you!" Asher sits there as Will turns away from him and picks up Mark. He looks around at the crowd then lifts him up for the Reverse 1916….until Asher runs up and hits Will with the Predetermined Destiny (Destino)!

Jazz: "PREDETERMINED DESTINY ON WILL!"

Jay: "What!? You gotta be kidding me!"

The crowd pops HARD for Darma! Both Will and Mark lay out cold! "ASHER" chants shook the arena! Darma looks down at the bodies...and then at the ICW Heavyweight Title. He picks it up and stares at it for a few long seconds. A smile soon forms on Asher's face and he raises it high above his head! The crowd chants louder as Darma stands with the title over both guys.

Jazz: "Take this in, Jay! Because this might be the scene after New Horizon: Asher Darma standing there with the ICW Heavyweight Championship!"

Jay: "Only in these people's dreams, Jazz! Reality is gonna hit everyone hard when they see their chosen slumdog fail!"

Jazz: "As much as I wanna tell you how insane you sounded just now, we need to take a moment for a special look at the history between CJ Hawk & Katashi Suzuki, as well as why this match matters so much in the life of CJ."

The screen opens to the sound of Sakura "Cherry Blossoms" inside a dimly lit room. There sat an empty canvas board as a man, whose identity was obscured from the camera, entered the room and took a seat in front of the board. The man pulled out some paint brushes and different colored water paint. After getting set up, CJ's voice narrates over his painting.

CJ: "I've met many people in my life. Some I'm glad I've met and some I wish I'd have never come across. But out of everyone I've met, the most dangerous person from my past...someone I never thought I'd see as long as I live...is Katashi Suzuki."

The screen then takes up the canvas as watercolor paintings carve out different pictures & images. The painting takes the shape of Katashi & CJ, standing face-to-face in the ring.

CJ: "Katashi knows more about me than most people that's met me. That's because he knows a side of me that I've been keeping locked away. He knows about this twisted part of me that's been locked away in my mind...because he played a part in helping me develop that sick & twisted mindset."

The painting then changes to a younger looking CJ Hawk wandering the streets of Japan.

CJ: "I first met Katashi during my first tours in Japan...waaaay back when I was still fairly new to wrestling outside of North America. And to be blunt...I was struggling. No one really gave me a chance cause I couldn't connect with the Japanese audience and their style of wrestling. And it was frustrating. I didn't really know how to fit in with the wrestling scene with my look or my style...until I met Minoru Suzuki and his nephew, Katashi."

The paintings change to show he & Katashi standing across from each other training while Minoru Suzuki looks on.

CJ: "Minoru saw the frustration through my mask, and he felt there was more to me than I even saw. So he agreed to show me the ropes and teach me his style of puroresu alongside Katashi...one centered around causing as much bodily harm as humanly possible… and surprisingly, I excelled at it."

The paintings changed to CJ & Katashi assaulting and beating some Japanese wrestling young boys. It then covers it over with a large silhouette of CJ & Katashi standing over piles of bodies...but they were surrounded in devilish red smoke-like aura.

CJ: "Me, Katashi, and his uncle, Minoru Suzuki. We terrorized major parts of Japan because we were causing legit physical harm to all of our opponents. People viewed us as devils because we lacked a soul to have any mercy. And I'll admit: it felt GOOD! Finally, I was getting over with the audience and I felt like I was being treated seriously. Katashi & I bonded like brothers because of how much we enjoyed being sadists."

As he kept talking, the images changed to show CJ walking away from Katashi...full of shame, remorse, regret, and extreme guilt.

CJ: "But as time passed….I began to truly realize what was going on. Their style… their demonic nature...that was beginning to consume me very life. Making kids cry, women scream, opponents literally begging for their lives….it ate me up inside and I couldn't take it anymore. So when the time came, I walked away from Minoru & Katashi. I stayed with New Japan alone while they were banished, and I made an attempt to better myself and change Japan's perspective of me."

The paintings change to show different images of CJ in his current form wrestling against different opponents.

CJ: "Leaving Suzuki-Gun behind was the best thing to ever happen to me. My views on wrestling and even my life in general changed in a positive way, and it showed in how I wrestle. I felt like I evolved and gotten better. Not too long after, I came to ICW and left that part behind me. As time went on, I thought I would never have to worry about that devil in me….until Immortality 2."

The melody sped up as the paintings changed to show many images of CJ Hawk brutalizing Seth Sullivan. It then paints a large image of him choking Sullivan out….while surrounded by that demonic red aura."

CJ: "Immortality 2….I did something I promised myself I would never do: I brought out that devil in me. The same devil that Suzuki created, I used it to help me get revenge against Seth Sullivan. What's messed up is that it felt just as good as it did all those years ago. Almost too good. As I sat there, looking over at what I did to Seth, I knew that I would get addicted to this feeling again quickly. So I tried to play it off. For months, I had to come to grips with what happened and moved on….and just as I thought I was past it again...I saw him: Katashi Suzuki, smiling that same devilish grin that he's had for years."

Now the colors painted Katashi's ICW debut standing across from CJ Hawk.

CJ: "Yeah, I was shocked. In all my life, I never expected to see that face appear in front of me. The Shinigami Incarnate. And I know exactly why he's here: to terrorize ICW. Worst of all….he wants me to cause fear alongside him...because Katashi believes that the devil in me was premently freed in England, his old friend, back to wreak havoc...but at New Horizon, Katashi will find out he's dead wrong!"

CJ: "...It's important that I win this match. Because I need to show him that this part of me isn't weak. In fact, this part of me is stronger than anything he's ever dealt with before! I don't fight using fear and terror anymore! I fight with dignity and out of respect for myself and the people around me! That's what The Way of the Hawk stands for! And that's what it'll always stand for And! And at New Horizon, I plan on proving it not just to the demon inside me, but to the man who made that demon: Katashi Suzuki!"

The colors end with a split image of CJ Hawk remaining focused & Katashi Suzuki with his sinister grin on his face. Soon, nothing but darkness filled the canvas...

I Don't Wanna Stop (by Ozzy Osborne) plays, and the spotlights turned gold. Out walks Elijah Holiday in a freshly ironed designer grey dress shirt with a gold suit coat, tie, and slacks that match, as well as a pair of designer dress shoes. Tate follows wearing a golden dress shirt & shoes with purple dress pants. He carries the Immortal Briefcase in his hands. Tate holds up his briefcase and shows it off.

Jazz: "Tate appears confident as ever despite everyone believing this might be the last time we see 'The Immortal Marvelous One'. Deep down, the world knows that Tate is TERRIFIED!"

Jay: "Such SLANDER! Tate Williams has nothing to be afraid of! If anything, Azriel needs to be prepared to face a man on the level of 'The Immortal Marvelous One!'

When Elijah asks for a mic, the crowd begins to chant "DEAD MAN WALKING!" At Tate! Elijah tries to cover his ears from the chant, but they only chanted it louder! Finally, Elijah lets him go and starts to talk.

Elijah: "Ladies and gentlemen, it has come to our attention that you people believe "The Immortal Marvelous One" will be destroyed by that unholy abomination called Azriel!"

The crowd pops hard when he says Azriel. They even chanted "AZRIEL'S GONNA KILL YOU!" AZRIEL'S GONNA KILL YOU!" Tate and Elijah look around, clearly unhappy with the chants.

Elijah: "That's what you people believe, huh!?"

The crowd says 'YES!'

Elijah: "You all think Azriel is gonna dismantle Tate Williams!?"

They say 'YES!' again.

Elijah: "EVERYONE thinks Azriel is gonna kill Tate Williams?!"

Loud 'YES! chants from everyone in the crowd.

Elijah: "Well let me cut to the chase then: AZRIEL DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE AGAINST TATE WILLIAMS!"

Those chants quickly shifted to loud boos! Tate laughs loudly while Elijah smirks.

Elijah: "Let me educate you all about WHY Azriel doesn't stand a chance against 'The Immortal Marvelous One!' I'll admit: Azriel has power! He has the size, the strength, the ability, and hell, he even has the killer instinct! But there's two things that Azriel lacks against my associate: #1) THIS!"

He points to Tate who raises the Immortal Briefcase at everyone! The crowd kept booing!"

Elijah: "If Azriel was as threatening as everyone says he is, he would've been the one to hold this briefcase! But he's NOT! Tate Williams is the holder! And the reason for this brings me to reason #2) Azreil lacks THIS!"

He and Tate point to their brains.

Elijah: "Azriel lacks the in-ring IQ needed to overcome the combined intelligence of myself and 'The Immortal Marvelous One.' In layman's terms, he isn't smart enough to beat us! He will NEVER be smart enough to beat us! Tate holds the power in his hands, and he's going to show Azriel AND the whole world why he will NEVER be as Immortal as 'The Immortal Marvelous One' Marvelous Tate Williams!'

Elijah drops the mic and Tate holds up the briefcase! The crowd continues to boo them loudly.

Suddenly, the lights go out! And the crowd went INSANE! And after a few minutes, flames erupted from the four corners. The lights came back up, and standing behind Tate & Elijah…..

Is Azriel!

Jazz: "Oh...my….God…."

Jay: "JAZZ! HE'S HERE! AZRIEL HAS ARRIVED TO THE BATTLEFIELD!"

The crowd ERUPTED! Everyone jumped out of their seats at the sight! Tate & Elijah stood there, too shaken to even turn around! They just look at each other and turn their heads VERY SLOWLY! Until they came face-to-face with Azriel! He was wearing his black tights and boots and a silver cloak with black tribal designs. His long, black hair covered the sides of his face while his light blue eyes coldly stared into the souls of Tate & Elijah. The two of them felt their bloods turn ice cold and their bodies turn to stone!

Azriel took two steps, and Tate & Elijah IMMEDIATELY ran out the ring, hopped the barricades, and ran through the crowd until they ended up on stage! Azriel watched them run, his cold stare making them shake with fear.

Azriel: "TATE! WILLIAMS!"

Even without a mic, his voice boomed throughout the arena and made everyone shake! Tate & Elijah fell back in shock!

Azriel: "At New Horizon….YOU WILL FALL! INTO! DESPAIR!"

The crowd pops again for Azriel! He stood in the ring and did the cutthroat motion! Tate grabbed his neck and gulped loudly as Elijah told him they needed to get outta here!

Jazz: "Azriel's presence made Tate & Elijah run for the hills, but there will be no running for him at New Horizon when he has to face 'The Angel of Death, The Harbinger of Despair: Azriel!"

Jay: "You kidding me!? Just hearing Azriel's voice made me want to run for the hills myself! How can ANYONE want to support a man facing DEATH ITSELF!?"

Jazz: "Lesson learned, Jay: don't talk trash behind someone's back. Up next will be the main event of the evening: 'The King of Beasts' King Caesar VS 'The Ace of Pro Wrestling' Jason Sabre!"

A dimly lit light bulb swings above. It shines on a figure sitting on a bench with a towel around his neck and his head down. As the camera zooms in on the figure, different images and clips flash across the screen. These include:

Tackling people in the ring…

Punching them rapidly in the face…

Tossing opponents around…

Kneeing folks in the face...

Choking people out….

The flashes end as the figure stands up. He takes the towel off and reveals himself to be Jaden Sennoa. As Jaden glares at the camera, breathing heavily, the screen quickly cuts to black as these words appear:

"JADEN SENNOA ARRIVES…..

….NEXT WEEK!"

When the screen cuts back to the arena, there was a lion's roar followed by Hail Mary (by Tupac) playing. King Caesar marches out to the ring alone, and the crowd greets him with loud boos. He steps over the ropes and patiently waits in the corner. Caesar removes his long coat and cracks his fists.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Monarchy, from Brooklyn, New York, standing 6'8" & weighing 285 lbs: 'The King of Beasts' KING CAESAR!"

Jay: "King Caesar looks ready for a fight, Jazz! He's about to wreck Sabre and weaken him for DJ to finish off!"

Jazz: "HA! Easier said than done when talking about 'The Ace of Pro Wrestling.' But I'd be lying if I didn't admit that Caesar looks hyper focused right now!"

Weight of my Pride (by Pay Money to my Pain) plays, and the fans ERUPTED into cheers! The Beginning instrumentals kick in as lights turn red & white (left turns white & right turns red). As the song near the lyrics, smoke shoots up from the sides of the stage. They fade to reveal Jason Sabre in his 'Tanahashi-esque' red & white tights & matching 'Misawa-esque' jacket. He takes a moment to soak up the reception and survey the crowd chanting his name! Sabre walks down the ramp, occasionally 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. 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, before the music fades. He looks at Caesar, who just stares back at him with his arms folded, and he takes off his jacket.

"Introducing his opponent, from Los Angeles, California, standing 6ft tall & weighing 235 lbs: 'The Ace of Pro Wrestling' JASON SABRE!"

Jazz: "The Ace has arrived! Mere days before his match with DJ Kingston, Jason Sabre looks to topple the muscle, King Caesar!"

Jay: "You have to admit that this might be too tall of a task for him, Jazz!"

Jazz: "When you're Jason Sabre, nothing ever feels impossible!"

The bell rings as both men stand across from each other. And the crowd was HOT for Jason Sabre! The arena was filled with "GO ACE!" chants! Sabre smiles at the crowd and poses for them, earning more cheers! Caesar just stood there menacingly with his arms folded and a cold stare at Sabre! Once the crowd quiets down, both men leave their corners and pace around the ring. They get into an aggressive Collar & Elbow lockup! Both men took turns pushing back, but Caesar used his superior size to push Sabre across the ring! Jason rolls to a knee and sees Caesar posing with his arms folded again. The crowd boos and chants "BURGER KING! BURGER KING!" at Caesar! But Sabre just smiles at him. "Okay, big man. Let's see what else you got." He says. Jason gets up and the two pace again. As they approach each other, Jason immediately kicks at Caesar's legs. Caesar tries to move away from the kicks, but Jason just goes and grabs them! Caesar stumbles quite a bit, but he manages to throw Sabre aside. Sabre rolls back to his feet and smirks at Caesar. When he poses, the crowd loudly cheers! "SABRE!" chants soon followed as he & Caesar stared down again.

Jazz: "Caesar was showing off his power advantage in the early portions of this match. But Jason is clearly exploiting the lack of balance Caesar has due to his size."

Jay: "Jason is simply trying to find any possible advantage against a powerhouse like Caesar."

They two cautiously approach each other, keeping the pace slow. But when Caesar reached out for the Collar & Elbow, Jason strikes with a Basement Dropkick to the legs! Caesar immediately timbers to the canvas! Sabre grabs his whole leg and twists it in different directions. Caesar struggled to maneuver his body with Jason holding his leg, so he tried to kick him away! But Sabre was steadfast and kept on breaking down the big man! Caesar, low on options, drags himself to the ropes to force a break! The ref started to count, and Jason gently let go of him and backed off. The crowd gave him a standing ovation for the clean break, and Caesar was getting annoyed! When Jason takes a bow at the people, Caesar gets up and applies a Chinlock! Jason was caught off-guard for a moment, but he then pushed Caesar against the ropes. He attempts an Irish Whip, but "The King of Beasts" slides to a knee. Still trapped in the Chin Lock, Jason pulls himself back up and presses Caesar against the ropes again! This time, he succeeds in whipping Caesar across the ring. But Caesar runs back and Shoulder Blocks him to the mat! The crowd immediately boos Caesar! And he starts talking smack to them back! Suddenly, Sabre kicks back up! And the crowd goes back to cheering!

Jazz: "Just when you think Caesar has the upper hand, Jason proves that nothing ever keeps him down!"

Jay: "What a show-off! He's just toying with Caesar & pandering to these people!"

The two went face-to-face again as they pace. They teased another lock up, but Sabre ducks behind him and kicks his legs again! Caesar was extremely wobbly, and Jason followed up with a Double Leg Takedown! Unfortunately, "The King of Beasts" manages to fall back against the ropes. Jason lets him go before he could do any more damage, and he flexes his own muscles at Caesar! This didn't sit well with him, so he cracks his knuckles and goes at him! Sabre ducks and goes for another kick, but Caesar scouts it and catches his leg! He then shoves Jason into a corner and chokes "The Ace" with his forearms! The ref starts a five-count and forces him to break the hold! Jason coughs and tries to breathe. Caesar then lifts him up the corner. But Jason fights back with some Forearms! The shots eventually stagger him and Jason gets back down. The crowd cheers Jason on as he keeps forearming Caesar! But "The King of Beasts" FLOORS "The Ace" with a punch to the face! He then stomps down on him, earning loud boos from everyone! He picks Jason up and Whips him across the ring. He attempts a Lariat, but Jason ducks it! Sabre runs the ropes and ducks a Back Elbow! And when he runs off the ropes again, he connects with a Flying Forearm to his face! Caesar was knocked all the way back to the ropes! Jason runs and clotheslines Caesar over the ropes and to the floor! But Caesar was still on his feet and leaning on the barricade. Jason fell over the ropes, but he held on for a bit. He then skins the cat back in the ring and ascends to the top! When Caesar stood back up, Jason soared high and hit the Standing Final Hour (High Fly Flow) to knock him down! Sabre gets up and high fives the fans at ringside! The crowd continues to chant "GO ACE!" Sabre picks up Caesar & rolls him back in. He quickly makes the cover!

1...2 KICKOUT!

Caesar kicked out by throwing Sabre off of him and sent him flying through the ropes and back to the floor!

Jay: "Did you see the way Caesar powered out of that count!? He just pushed Sabre out of the ring!"

Jazz: "He is strong, no doubt about it, but Caesar is still reeling from that Final Hour to the floor."

Even though he powered out of the pin, Caesar was still reeling from the Final Hour! It took him a minute or two to stand back up. This was enough time for Jason to climb back up and ascend to the top rope again. But before he could make it all the way up, Caesar grabs him by the throat! He attempted to push him off, but Sabre held on to the ropes! He then kicks Caesar in the face multiple times until he lets go! When he finally did, Jason pulled himself back up top and hit a Missile Dropkick to Caesar's chest! Caesar fell all the way back against the opposite corner. Jason gets up, charges, and hits the Running Back Elbow….and Caesar catches him in midair! He steps out of the corner, turns, and hits an Olympic Throw! Sabre was sent flying across the ring! And he crashed down HARD! Caesar then proceeds to beat down Jason with multiple stomps & forearms all while the crowd booed him out the building! He even got up and stood on Jason's back! While crushing Sabre, "The King of Beasts" posed with his arms folded and in an imposing stance!

Jay: "Like a king on a pedestal, there Caesar stands on Sabre's back!"

Jazz: "He's trying to use his natural weight to break Jason's back!"

After standing on his back, Caesar gets off his back and picks up Jason. But Sabre pops up and hits a stiff Forearm to the face! He hits another, and another, rocking the taller guy! Jason then attempts a Bodyslam, but his back is still sore! So Caesar easily knees him and Bodyslams Sabre instead! Jason clutches his back, but Caesar picks him back up anyway. This time, he lifts "The Ace" up for a Powerbomb. But Sabre fights back! The crowd starts to rally for Jason again! But when Sabre went for the Hurricanrana, Caesar held on! He lifts Jason back up for a Powerbomb, but Sabre elbows him again and again! Caesar stumbles back, and Sabre finally hits the Hurricanran….right into the Final Breath (Crossface)!

Jazz: "Final Breath! Sabre has him trapped! Caesar might become out of breath very soon!"

Jay: "Sabre went desperate! But it won't pay off for long!"

The crowd went NUTS for Jason! Caesar was stunned that Sabre caught him in the submission! And when he tries to break the grip, Sabre just forearms him in the head again and reapplies the hold! The fans screamed "TAP OUT!" at Caesar, but "The King of Beasts" used his power to pull himself to the ropes and grab them! The fans booed, but Jason immediately let's go and knees Caesar repeatedly! The ref told Jason he had to step away since his opponent was still holding the ropes! So Jason waits for him to get back to his feet. When Caesar does, Jason runs the ropes….and eats a WICKED Discus Lariat, turning inside out! The crowd gasps and boos at the sight of Jason being wiped out! Caesar takes a moment to breathe and recover, and then he picks up Sabre, hoists him in the air, and slams him back down with an Elevated Sitout Powerbomb! The referee makes the cover!

1….

2….

KICKOUT!

The crowd goes crazy when Jason gets his shoulder up!

Jazz: "KICKOUT! Jason Sabre just kicked out at 2!"

Jay: "His back ought to be shot to hell after that! No way he can come back!"

The arena was filled with nothing but "GO ACE!" & "JASON SABRE" chants! Caesar just sat there, slightly shocked that his opponent survived that Powerbomb! So he drags Jason back to his feet, keeping him steady, and attempts the Roaring Elbow (Discus Elbow Smash)! Instead, Jason grabs the arm & and rolls through directly into the Bleeding Back (Flying Cross Armbreaker)! The crowd are on the edge of their seats! Caesar struggled to stand with Sabre yanking at his arm! So he rolls over Jason and deadlifts him off the ground! But Jason lets go and lands on his feet. Caesar tries to hit him with his other arm, but Sabre ducks and hits a smooth-looking Pele Kick! This only stuns the big man, however, and he lets out a loud roar! He charges at Sabre, who ducks again, and runs the ropes! And Caesar runs right into a Rebound Koppu Kick from Jason! Caesar was hit hard and took a knee! And this allows "The Ace" to run the ropes and take Caesar down with the classic Sling Blade! The crowd is one hundred percent rooting for Jason while he scales the top rope. He spreads his hands out and hits the Diving Elbow Drop! Everyone counts when Jason covers!

1….

2….

…..KICKOUT!

As soon as Caesar gets his arm up, Sabre grabs it, rolls him over, and applies the Final Breath again!

Jazz: "Final Breath! Caesar has nowhere to go! The Ace might pull this off again!"

Jay: "I can't believe what I'm seeing!"

Everyone was going ballistic this time! And Jason pulled back on him, applying maximum pressure! Caesar was trapped at the center of the ring, too far from the ropes! His movements become slower & slower as he starts to fade! The crowd desperately wanted Caesar to tap! The ref had to check if he was even conscious at this point! But just when the ref was about to stop the match, Caesar powers up just enough to crawl across the ring! Jason desperately pulled back on the hold to try and stop him! But Caesar only just managed to touch the ropes and force a break! Jason lets him go and waits in the corner. As Caesar pulls himself up, Jason does the finger-gun taunt and attempts the Final Resolution! But Caesar shocks EVERYONE when he leaps off his feet and hits a Running Crossbody to Jason!

Jazz: "My God! Caesar just leaped from his feet and crushed Sabre!"

Jay: "Amazing! What a turnaround for the King of Beasts!"

Caesar FLATTENS him! He scoops up Sabre and hits the Fallaway Slam, sending him flying across the ring! Jason lands hard and slides to the floor! When he got back up, Caesar runs the ropes and hits a Suicide Dive! Sabre was sent crashing over the barricade and into the crowd! The crowd popped for the move, but they still booed the man who did it! Caesar reaches over and grabs Jason by his hair. He pulls him back over the barricade and Gorilla Presses him back in the ring! When Caesar steps back in, he waits in the corner for Jason to get back up! The crowd tried to rally for Sabre to fight back, but "The Ace" was having some trouble trying to recover. Eventually, he gets back to his feet! He turns around...and eats the Roaring Elbow! Sabre collapses and Caesar lets out another roar! The crowd starts to boo him louder! "The King of Beasts'' lifts Sabre up and puts him in the King's Clutch (Bararm Sleeper)!

Jazz: "Oh no...not the King's Clutch!"

Jay: "Oh yes! Jason is in the King's Clutch and is the one fighting to stay conscious!"

Sabre's fading fast! The crowd sees this and cries out to Jason to fight back and not pass out! But the big arms of Caesar were choking the air out of Sabre at a rapid pace! Jason even fell to a knee, and everyone is in horror! Chants of "GO ACE," "DON'T GIVE UP," & "JASON SABRE" all shook the arena! Sabre realized he was close to passing out, so he took a chance and ran up a corner! He pushes off and tumbled Caesar over! Jason rolls over him and manages to free himself! He lands in a corner, coughing and gasping for air! But Caesar was NOT happy! He got up and charged straight at Jason...and Jason moved out of the way! Caesar crashes directly into the corner, stunning himself! He stumbles backwards, and Jason catches him from behind with the Greatest Dropkick Ever! Caesar stumbles and crashes into the corner again! Caesar stumbles backwards, and "The Ace" again Dropkicks him to the corner! Caesar crashed HARD and could barely walk straight! He stumbles around a bit, turns to Jason….and Jason lifts him up and BODYSLAMS him!

Jazz: "HE GOT HIM! JASON SABRE JUST BODY SLAMMED KING CAESAR!"

Jay: "HOW THE HELL DID HE PULL THAT OFF!?"

The crowd was going INSANE! Sabre stumbled a bit, but he got his footing and scaled the top rope! He stood there, tall & proud, and went for the Final Hour! But Caesar got his knees up! And Jason crashed down HARD on them! Jason rolls away, clutching at his midsection! Caesar pulls himself back up and grabs Sabre by his waist! He picks him back up and connects with the Bridging Chimaera-Plex (Germán Suplex followed by a Dragon Suplex, followed by a Bridging Tiger Suplex)!

1….

…...

2….

…...

thr-KICKOUT!

Jason somehow got ONE shoulder mere inches off the ground!

Jazz: "HE STILL FIGHTS ON! SABRE IS STILL ABLE TO KICK OUT!"

Jay: "CAESAR HAS GOTTA DO SOMETHING! ANYTHING!"

The crowd was going CRAZY! Caesar, still holding on, pulls himself and Jason back to their feet! He turns him around and picks up "The Ace" in the Fireman's Carry! He lets out another roar and went for his finishing maneuver: the Brooklyn Blast (Fireman's Carry into a Jackhammer)! However, when he pushes Sabre off his shoulders, Sabre flips and lands on his feet! He turns to Caesar & Superkicks him directly in the chin! Caesar stumbles! Jason Superkicks him again! Caesar does a 180° spin, Jason grabs his arm from behind, spins him around, and hits the Final Strike (Ripcord Lariat)! Caesar goes down! Sabre scales back up top! The crowd is on their feet! Sabre leaps up….and hits the Final Hour! The referee makes the count!

….3!

"Here is your winner: 'The Ace of Pro Wrestling' JASON SABRE!"

Jazz: "FINAL! HOUR! And Caesar's final hour has come to a glorious end! Jason Sabre has done it again!"

Jay: "This is insane! How does he keep doing this!? How!?"

Jazz: "Jay, it's simple! Jason Sabre is 'The Ace of Professional Wrestling!'"

Sabre rolls off of Caesar, and both men just laid there. Sabre was spent while Caesar laid unconscious! But the crowd was going WILD for Jason! "The Ace" rolls to his knees as the rest of Monarchy comes out to help Caesar out of the ring. The crowd keeps chanting "GO ACE!" while Jason stares at them, especially DJ & Nattie. Soon, Sabre stood back up and asked for a mic. His music stops playing as he leans against the ropes, catching his breath.

Sabre: "...I take it you all enjoyed the match tonight?" He asked.

The crowd responded with a resounding "YES!"

Sabre: "I'm glad I gave you all something special tonight. However, I'm not quite done yet. With respect to Carson & Sofia, they're not the only ones set to main event New Horizon. So with that being said, HEY DJ KINGSTON! Get back to this ring and face me man-to-man, cause I have a lot more to say to you!"

The crowd cheers for Sabre, chanting "GO ACE" even louder! DJ stops on stage and turns to face Jason. He looks at Dylan and tells him to help Caesar to the back. As they left, DJ Kingston entered the ring, and he & Sabre stood across from each other. All Jason could do was smirk.

Sabre: "I want you to look around, DJ. Look around the ring, the arena, the people, look around and take everything in. Go ahead, look."

DJ glares at Sabre, then he looks around at everyone.

Sabre: "Notice something, DJ? Do you notice who everyone is looking at? They're looking at us, not just me this time. And do you wanna know why that is? It's because everyone knows that our match at New Horizon is game-changing. Not just for ICW, but for wrestling as a whole."

The "GO ACE" chants rose back up, and DJ was beginning to get annoyed with them.

Jason: "I can see it in your eyes, man. Everything about you rides on this match. You NEED to win! You NEED to beat me! And I know why: the comparisons to us, the reputation of being the top prospect that hasn't quite reached that top level, all of it is a heavy burden on you, and you need to break through and take your place at the top. But here's where it gets real for you: I don't need to win….I WANT to win! I want to face you at New Horizon, and I WANT to beat you just as bad as you need to beat ME! Because that's the kind of person I am! I want to face the guys people consider the best, the brightest, fastest, strongest, toughest, and any other adverb ending in 'est!' Because I want to leave behind a legacy at the absolute BEST to ever step in any ring!"

The crowd calls out for Sabre, chanting "JASON SABRE! JASON SABRE!"

Sabre: "And this match is what it boils down to. It isn't just about if DJ could fill Freddy's shoes and lead Monarchy. It's not just about you trying to get revenge on me from Immortality 2. Hell, it's not only about which guy Natalia should be with! It's about who's really the better man: "The Astonishing One" or "The Ace of Pro Wrestling!"

The crowd answers that question by chanting "ACE! ACE! ACE! ACE!"

Sabre: "You hear them, DJ?! They've already picked who they think is better! So if you want to prove them and the whole world wrong, then I want you to bring EVERYTHING you got at New Horizon! When you go home, dig deep into your soul and muster up every single bit of passion, spirit, grit & energy you have! Because you're going to get the best version of me at New Horizon! You saw what I did to your boy Dylan! I showed him that I can be just as violent and hard-hitting as any hardcore legend, and I beat him! You JUST saw what happened with Caesar, a guy with so much power & size, and I outperformed him! Hell, I know Freddy told you stories about times when he and I faced off, and I reminded him who actually rules the ring between us! And it's not just them! Ask ANYONE who's ever been in the ring with me, one-on-one! And they'll tell you the same exact thing: 'Jason Sabre tested me.'"

DJ said nothing. He just stood there, staring at Sabre.

Jason: "'Jason Sabre gave me the fight of my life! Jason Sabre dragged me to the deep end and made me figure out if I can sink or swim!' And that's the same thing I'm going to do to you, DJ! I'm gonna drag you to the deep end! I'm gonna see if you can sink or swim! I'm gonna test you to see if the spotlight should've been on you this whole time! And as soon as I'm done testing you, I'm going to beat you! Because at the end of our match at New Horizon, there won't be anymore doubt in anyone's mind that no matter how hard you fight, or how well you can keep up with me, Jason Sabre will not just "The Ace of Pro Wrestling," but that Jason Sabre is better than DJ Kingston! See you at New Horizon!"

Sabre drops the mic and exits the ring, leaving DJ alone to soak in what was said! Jason high-fives several fans at ringside as the rest of the crowd chants "GO ACE!" DJ simply glances at everyone chanting for Sabre!

Jazz: "DJ Kingston has the biggest match of his career against Jason Sabre at New Horizon! Can he finally break through that glass ceiling!? Can DJ do the impossible and overcome 'The Ace' himself?"

Jay: "DJ has so much riding on this match! Everything he's built towards has led to here! DJ is about to break out of Sabre's shadow at New Horizon!"

Jazz: "It's sure to be a big time matchup! But right now, it's time for the final face-off between two women on a collision course! Up next, Carson Michaels & Sofia Reynoso will be face-to-face one final time!"

When the screen comes back up, Evan Neal & Alexis Espinoza are standing in the ring….as multiple security people stood around the ring.

Alexis: "Ladies & gentlemen, it is now time to see the final staredown between two women set to fight for the WFA Women's Championship at New Horizon! Introducing the challenger! She is La Rebelion until the day she dies! She is smash-mouth & in-your-face! She is unapologetic and savage! And in my humble opinion, she is the best wrestler, man or woman, in the WFA! You all know & love her, she is SOFIA REYNOSO!"

The crowd pops HARD as Ay Ay Ay (by Snow tha Product) starts to play. Through the La Rebelion entrance, out walks Sofia full of energy! She greets the crowd, who pops huge for her! She walks through the crowd, high fiving all the fans along the way. She even greets a little girl cosplaying as Sofia and gives her a hug on camera. Sofia hops the barricade and gives Jazz a big monster hug….while giving Jay the middle finger.

Jay: "Again, Sofia!? Now you're just being petty!"

Sofia ignores him and rolls in the ring! She gives Alexis a hug and climbs the top turnbuckle, getting the crowd hyped up! Sofia hops down and paces back & forth. Even as her music dies down, the crowd still chants Sofia's name!

Evan: "A-HE-HE-HEMMMMM!"

Everyone boos when Evan steps up to speak.

Evan: "Ladies & gentlemen, boys & girls! Allow me, Evan Neal, to introduce the champion! She is the daughter of the actual greatest wrestler of all time! She is a former ICW Women's Champion! She is a day one ICW loyalist through & through, and she is not only the LONGEST WFA Women's Champion, she is the ONLY WFA Women's Champion in HISTORY! Everyone rise

and give thanks to the WFA Women's Champion: the one & only 'Heartbreak Chick' CARSON MICHAELS!"

The crowd booed MASSIVELY when Do It Now, Remember It Later (by Sleeping with the Sirens) starts to play. Carson slowly walks out with the WFA Women's title over her shoulder. She didn't bother interacting with the crowd. She just stares daggers at Sofia. Carson heads down and climbs in the ring, staring directly at Sofia. They stare down for what felt like minutes. And the crowd was HOT for Reynoso! Finally, Sofia takes the mic that Alexis had.

Sofia: "I swear you are the luckiest person in this ring, Carson. Because I seriously wanna take my fist and drop you where you stand! But I'm a woman of my word. I promised I won't hit you until New Horizon. But I've been meaning to set you straight for a minute now. So letme educate you about what I'm about."

Carson stands there.

Sofia: "My name is Sofia Reynoso, and I am the best wrestler in the world! And that ain't a hyperbole, Carson. I AM the best that has ever shown up in the WFA! I am the face of the Women's Evolution! And most importantly: I am everything people expected you to be!"

"SOFIA" chants rang from the arena. Alexis smirks while Evan just stands there. Carson never broke eye-contact with Sofia.

Sofia: "I lead this division because I want to be the change! You think you know where I came from, but you don't know SHIT! A little girl that was pegged to be nothing but a piece passed around on the streets of Mexico wanted to change how people viewed her family! And she did! A young woman that people said would end up shot & dead in a ditch somewhere wanted to change the stereotypes about her! And she did! A woman saw some of the greatest luchadores & luchadoras wrestle their hearts out and she said "I'm gonna be better than all of them!" And she did! Why? Because she wanted to be something that little girls can find inspiration in and be proud of who they are! A REAL role model encourages boys and girls to reach up and be better than their heros!"

The crowd gives Sofia a standing ovation! But Carson just stands there!

Sofia: "And about your little comment about where I wrestled, how does it feel to know I got more famous with one movie than you did hiding in your daddy's shadow?"

The crowd pops HUGE for that one. And Carson's face begins to boil.

Sofia: "Yeah, I'm making my own legacy! I didn't rely on Alexis & La Rebelion to get me here because we made our fame together! Because we're a family! And unlike you, we don't take this business for granted! We respect everything we do and everyone we step in the ring with! I ain't come here to burn ICW to the ground, I came here to help this place reach the level everyone wants it to be! I want women back there to do what we're about to do: main event PPVs and sell out arenas! In all the matches I've had in my life, I've at least respected every one of my opponents! But not you Carson!"

Sofia got closer to Carson's face.

Sofia: "Our match at New Horizon...this is personal now! Why? Because you don't respect this business. You take it for granted! You hid behind Shawn's name to get you here! You hid behind ICW to keep you from losing that title over your shoulder! And you hid behind Trell to keep me from showing up and exposing you! Well guess what, princess! The clock strikes midnight, and your fantasy is over! You had your chance to lead this division...and you FAILED! Now I'M taking over! I'm gonna whoop your ass all over Houston, take that title, and elevate the WFA to places never seen before!"

Everyone chanted Sofia's name!

Sofia: "And I ain't talking about ICW, I mean the whole WFA! I'm talking ACW, BLOW, NAW, if it's a WFA event, imma be there! And imma defend this title each & every time. Because that's what a real leader does! They don't sit around waiting for someone to rise to their level, they go out there and drag every woman by their hair and force them to work on their level! So enjoy that title while you still have it! Enjoy the little relevancy you have, because after I get done with you and take that WFA Women's Title at New Horizon, all these people will remember Carson Michaels is nothing more than a wannabe Sofia Reynoso!"

The crowd gave Sofia a rousing ovation! Sofia turns to them, takes a bow, and throws the mic at Carson's feet! Alexis couldn't help but smile while Evan simply rolled his eyes. "SOFIA! SOFIA! SOFIA!" The chants rang loud & proud all across the arena. Carson turns to Evan and snatches the mic from him. As the crowd chants, Carson stares directly at Sofia.

Carson: "You're wrong about one thing, Sofia. I never made it personal….until now."

AND SHE HITS SWEET CHIN MUSIC ON ALEXIS ESPINOZA!

Jazz: "OH MY GOD!"

Jay: "HOLY HELL!"

Everyone froze! Time seems to slow down as Alexis collapses to the ground unconscious! Without a second to lose, Neal motions to security to get in the ring! And just in time, too, because Sofia's face turned to EXTREME anger! She charges at Carson only to be tackled & held back by security! Carson coldly looks down at the raging Sofia then at the stunned crowd! She finally turns to leave the ring, satisfied with what she did! EVERYONE booed Carson out of the building! Not a single person supported her! When Carson leaves, Sofia breaks free from security and checks on Alexis! Evan tries to do the same, but Sofia instead got up and grabbed him by his shirt & collar! She pushes him aside and looked over Alexis

Jazz: "I...I can't believe what Carson did...she just kicked Alexis right in the face…"

Jay: "Wait, Jazz! Carson's running back out!"

The crowd gasps as Carson sprints back out to the ring! Sofia got up, turned around, and SHE got hit with Sweet Chin Music!

Jazz: "My God!"

Jay: "Right in the face!"

Sofia fell to the ground HARD! Carson went prone and got in her face! "YOU'RE IN MY HOUSE, REYNOSO!" She yells. "YOU'RE GONNA SEE WHO RUNS THE DIVISION! AND THAT'S ME! NOT YOU!" Security tries to pull her away, but Carson pushes them off and backs away! She climbs to the top rope and holds her title in the air! At this point, the crowd were throwing garbage at her and booing loudly, all while Alexis & Sofia were knocked out cold.

Jazz: "I can't believe...Carson just crossed the line tonight!"

Jay: "She's been pushed past her breaking point, Jazz! The Carson we knew is long gone! This one will cross any line to keep what belongs to her! And that's her title & this division!"

Jazz: "I don't know what'll happen in Houston! But Sofia is about to try and murder Carson Michaels! We'll see you all at New Horizon Nights 1 & 2!"
