Before the show

The screen cuts to Natalia Rodriguez sitting alone backstage. She's sitting on a crate taping her wrists and lost in her own thoughts.

?: "Hey."

Natalie looks up to see Jason Sabre casually standing next to her. Natalia watches as Sabre takes a seat next to her. The two sat in silence for a bit. Finally, Jason spoke up.

Sabre: "I know you have a lot on your plate tonight. And I don't mean just the Women's Title match. But humor me for a bit because I have a theory: I think you hate where you are now. Deep down, you can't stand Monarchy. And the thought of DJ Kingston just makes your skin crawl. On top of that, I think you love the fans because they still love you. You want to show your love and support to them, but you're too afraid of breaking away. And that's because Freddy & his Monarchy was there when you felt alone & frustrated."

Natalia stays silent and keeps her focus on her taped hands. But Jason gently lifted her head up and looks her in the eyes.

Jason: My theroy's that deep down, you hate yourself for letting that fear and anger get to you and side with them. But here's the thing: you're not alone anymore. I'm here now, and just as important, the fans are with you. They've always been with you. Again, it's just my theory. You're free to make whatever decision you want because you're a grown woman, and my feelings for you will never change. But as someone you chose to spend your life with, I need to tell you this: Monarchy will only drag you down. And as soon as that happens, they'll toss you out like they did to Freddy. But no matter what you decide to do, the fans will always love you. And so will I."

Jason leans in and gives Natalia a quick kiss. Natalia doesn't fight it. She just lets it happen. Jason then gets up and sighs.

Jason: "Good luck in your match tonight. I'll be rooting for you."

As Jason walks away, Natalia sits there silently and watches him leave. She sighs and looks up at the ceiling as the screen fades to black….

"You cannot swim for New Horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore." -William Faulkner

The screen stays dark for about ten seconds. Until the lights cut on in the empty arena. No crowd. No noise. No titantron. Just an empty wrestling arena.

After a few shots of the empty arena, we cut to a flashback of Trell's announcement at the Season 3 Press Conference.

"...At the conclusion of this press conference...I will be stepping down as General Manager of International Championship Wrestling."

The screen shifts back to the arena...and we see Evan Neal walk out on stage. He looks around at the arena and gives his arrogant smirk.

We cut back to the flashback of the press conference, where Evan Neal arrived to take control.

"Tell you what. You will be in charge of ICW-" Trell says before Evan interrupts. "Excellent decision, Trell. ICW will be in great hands. I promise you that "The Neal Deal" will do wonders for the popularity and growth of this promotion!" He shakes Trell's hand and has a huge smug grin on his face. But Trell continues to speak. "...But you will only be in charge of fifty percent. Only half of the promotion..."

As Trell's voice echoes, we cut to someone else walking out...this time a feminine figure. As she walks, Trell's voice continues to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen….and Mr. Neal: allow me to FORMALLY introduce you to the new General Manager...er, co-General Manager of ICW….ALEXIS ESPINOZA!"

Alexis walks out to the empty arena. She stands on stage, taking a clear look at ICW. Evan, despite not looking happy to see Alexis, looks around at ICW as well. The screen fades with the two of them looking at the empty arena.

….

….

…...

…

"You know what? It's time for a change!"

The intro to Remedy (by Cold) starts to play, and we see quick cuts of Houston before zooming closer on the Toyota Center. We then see flashes of different wrestlers in ICW and different highlights leading up to the show.

"As the sun sets on the past, we will see new legacies be formed! Here in the Lone Star State, grudges will be settled, stars will rise, and careers will be altered forever!"

I don't love how you love

But please don't leave me here alone

I don't feel how you feel

Well it's my fault I'm bones

We see quick cuts of Angelica & Kailene doing wrestling moves and celebrating their victories. It then changes to Angelica & Kailene staring down before Kailene punches her across the face.

We then see The Wayne Bros stand across from La Familia followed by Sovereignty attacking and laying them out. It shows Mateo showing up & helping La Familia with underhanded tactics. We see The Waynes argue with La Familia until Sovereignty lays out everybody.

I don't die how you die

I can't just waste away

You keep changing your life

Everydaaaaaaaaay

We see Natalia's bitter expression at the crowd as she wins the #1 Contender's Triple Threat Match. Natalia is shown walking away from Jason as well as DJ while saying "I don't care what's going on between them. All I care about is being Women's Champion!" She's shown to drop Daria with a Backstabber followed by the Shining Wizard.

We then see a quick cut of The Mad Angel followed by shots of Traci attacking Nyx and Traci's match against The Mad Angel. Nyx is shown saying "I'm ready to end this!" And Traci replies "Come and face me...at the Church of the Mad Angel!" as blue flames shoot up behind Traci followed by a sinister laugh and another shot of The Mad Angel.

If it burns I'll keep fueling the same dream

If you fall I'll remember to save game

I don't want your

Remedyyyyyyy

We cut to Asher Darma winning the Supernovas Cup again standing across Will Ralston. But as Will holds his title, Mark Jacobs rushes in and attacks both guys! We see clips of Mark beating Will & Asher & lifting the title as well as Asher holding the title as a referee & Will holding it close to his chest.

We then see a shot of Jason Sabre walking from the shadows and out to the ICW ring for the first time. Highlights of his time in ICW so far show him winning at Immortality Two as well as defeating Dylan & Caesar one-on-one. As we hear Sabre say "The Astonishing One or the Ace of Pro Wrestling….let's find out who's the better man," it ends with DJ & Jason face-to-face.

"And now, the Internet Championship Wrestling presents its 10th Pay-Per-View Event: ICW NEW HORIZON! (Night 1)"

The screen cuts to the Toyota Center as pyro goes off on stage and above the ring! The Houston crowd is LOUD and excited!

Jazz: "We are live from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas for a two-night event showcasing the best ICW has to offer! Welcome, everyone to the 10th PPV in ICW and the first of the new season! Welcome to Night 1 of ICW New Horizon! I'm Jazz Conway, and joining me through the best...and mostly worst...is Jay Masters!"

Jay: "Even your snarky comments can't keep me down today, Jazz! There's a level of excitement in the air that can be felt by everyone! Title matches, grudge matches, and even a confrontation that we can't even begin to imagine how crazy it'll be!"

Jazz: "You're right about that! Tonight, we will see the ICW Women's Championship defended as the champion, Daria St. Leger goes one-on-one against Texas's own Natalia Rodriguez! And in one of two Triple Threat Title Matches, The Wayne Bros will defend the ICW Tag Team Championship against La Familia and the new and dominant Sovereignty!"

Jay: "The ICW Heavyweight Championship will also be defended as the champion, Will Ralston defends against 'The Bane of Existence' Mark Jacobs & the Supernovas Cup winner, that 'Slumdog' Asher Darma! In the main event match, we will see DJ Kingston take on his greatest challenge: the Legend of the WFA, "The Ace of Pro Wrestling" Jason Sabre!"

Jazz: "And don't forget that tonight, Nyx Rosewood will confront Traci Star...at a place called "The Church of The Mad Angel! No one knows what the hell will happen, but Nyx promises that she's going to end things with Traci for good! But right now, we're going to cut to our opening match between 'The American Princess' Angelica Rhodes and 'The Supernova' Kailene Starr!"

you should see me in a crown (by Billie Eilish) starts to play, and the crowd IMMEDIATELY starts booing! When the chorus hits, red, white and blue pyro erupts from the stage, heralding Angelica's arrival. She struts onto the stage, taking in the negative reaction, and heads to the ring. She gracefully steps between the ropes, flips her hair, and holds out her arms. She continues to smirk as the crowd keeps booing.

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

Jay: "Look at her, Jazz! The American Princess, in all her glory, is ready to teach Kailene a lesson in knowing what her place is!"

Jazz: "Angelica was the first to discredit Kailene, Jay. It's more about if Angelica can back up the talking she's been doing a lot of."

Aggressive (by Beartooth) starts playing, and the boos quickly turn into cheers! Kailene walks out with her hood up and crouches down on stage. When the chorus hits, she throws her hood back, causing pyro to erupt above her! Kailene hyped up the fans to cheer louder for her while high fiving a few people. Angelica watches in disgust as Kailene climbs to the top rope and looks around the cheering crowd!

"Introducing her opponent, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: 'The Supernova' KAILENE STARR!"

Jazz: "Kailene looks like a woman with a lot to prove! Especially after the harsh words Angelica has called her."

Jay: "The truth hurts, Jazz. And it's gonna hurt even more when Angelica proves to be correct as she always is!"

As the two were prepared, the bell rings and the match begins. Angelica and Kailene calmly pace each other without breaking eye contact. They slowly approach...and aggressively lock up. Kailene pushes Angelica into the ropes, but Angelica quickly turns and presses Kailene against the ropes. Kailene powers her way from the corner...and shoves Angelica across the ring! The crowd pops as Angelica was shocked. Kailene just smiled and told her opponent "Bring it."

Jazz: "Kailene's showing the power advantage early into this match. This show of strength looks to be hindering Angelica's confidence."

Jay: "Kailene just caught Angelica off-guard is all."

Angelica clearly wasn't pleased, but she kept her composure. As she gets up, the two of them pace again. The Collar & Elbow lockup follows, and Angelica quickly ducks behind Kailene and puts her in a Side Headlock. Kailene takes a moment and jabs her in the midsection. She pushes Angelica to the ropes and sends her running across the ring. Kailene drops down as Angelica runs over. She then leap frogs over her opponent and goes for the Back Body Drop. But Angelica drops down and Uppercuts her opponent! Kailene stumbles a bit, and "The American Princess" throws her out of the ring. Kailene leans on the barricade for support, but Angelica runs across the ring and hits a Suicide Dive, knocking Kailene back down!

Jazz: "A rare Suicide Dive from The American Princess! Angelica's risking it all to try and take down Kailene!"

Jay: "Kailene is learning not to taunt someone like Angelica! Because Angelica will do whatever's necessary to remind someone of their place!'

Angelica gets up and starts showing off to loud boos! She drags Kailene up by her head and slams her face on the table. She then drags her over and slams her face on the apron. As the referee's count reaches 6, Angelica rolls in and back out. She tries to toss her opponent back in the ring, but Kailene swings around and kicks Angelica in the face! As Angelica stumbles back, "The Supernova" stands on the apron and hits a running Front Flip Senton off the apron and into Rhodes! The crowd cheers for "The Supernova!" She grabs Angelica and rolls her back in. Angelica crawls to a corner and pulls herself up. Kailene steps in and climbs up the corner in front of her. She then raises her fist and punches her head! The crowd counts along with the punches: "1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9…..10!" Kailene hops down, hooks Angelica's head, and hits the Running Bulldog! Kailene then follows up with the Running Senton and the cover!

1...KICKOUT!

Jazz: "A kick out just before two, but Angelica is feeling the damage Kailene dished out."

Jay: "Angelica's just trying to get the wind back in her, Jazz."

Jazz: "Not if Kailene keeps up the momentum she has right now."

Kailene drags Angelica back to her feet and delivers a Knife Edge Chop. She chops her repeatedly until Angelica backs into the ropes. Kailene sends her across the ring with an Irish Whip, but Angelica holds on! So "The Supernova" charges after her...and runs into a kick to the face! Or so Angelica thought, because Kailene reveals that she caught her foot! Angelica was a bit surprised until Kailene spins and hits a Back Elbow to her jaw! With Angelica stunned, Kailene lifts her legs and carries her away from the ropes. Kailene went for the Alabama Slam, but "The American Princess" flawlessly counters into the Victory Roll!

1...2 KICKOUT!

As Kailene quickly kicks out, both get up and Angelica kicks Kailene in the stomach! She then follows up with a Spike Powerbomb to the canvas!

Jazz: "A powerbomb from Angelica just levels Kailene!"

Jay: "Angelica showing off her own strength in this match! Now "The American Princess" is firmly in control of this match!"

Despite hitting a powerbomb, Angelica was not satisfied. She mounted Kailene and punched her repeatedly in the face! The referee had to step and pull Angelica off of her to break the hold. "I'm wrestling royalty!" she yells to loud boos from the crowd. Angelica waves them off and pulls Kailene up by her head. She drags her to a corner and slams her face into the turnbuckle! A dazed Kailene slumps back into the corner, and Angelica follows up with a Knife Edge Chop! She then hits a Bionic Elbow to her head! After several more elbows, Angelica whips Kailene to the opposite corner. Kailene crashes into the corner….before exploding out and flooring Angelica with a Clothesline! The crowd cheers for Kailene as she leans on the ropes with an intense look!

Jazz: "Kailene is starting to feel that second wind! She's not about to go down without a fight!"

Angelica wobbly gets to her feet, and Kailene grabs her & hits the Exploder Suplex! Angelica rolls over to the corner, just trying to gain some distance from her opponent. But Kailene wouldn't allow that! She runs up behind her and grabs her by the waist. Kailene then German Suplexes Angelica right on her head & neck! The crowd gasps as Angelica weakly reaches out to anything before collapsing! Kailene's was feeling fired up! She sits Angelica back up and kicks her across the chest! Kailene does this repeatedly until Angelica could barely sit up. Kailene steps back to wind up a kick...but when she goes for it, Angelica grabs her leg! She quickly gets up and hits a Dragon Screw! Kailene collapses and clutches her leg!

Jazz: "Dragon Screw by Angelica! And Kailene immediately drops to the canvas!"

Jay: "You talk about a sudden game changer, Jazz! Angelica just turned the tide, and she's gonna break Kailene down!"

Kailene tries to get back up, but a Chop Block from Angelica knocks her back down! "The American Princess" then pulls her away from the ropes and goes for the Figure Four! Kailene desperately kicks her with her good leg to knock Angelica away. With Angelica knocked back, Kailene tries to crawl back up….suddenly she's hit with a Somersault Cutter from Angelica! Angelica then makes the cover!

1...2..KICKOUT!

Jazz: "A Somersault Cutter only earns Angelica a very close nearfall!"

Jay: "Oh but don't look now, Jazz! Cause Angelica isn't done punishing Kailene's leg!"

As Kaile kicks out, Angelica gets up while still holding her leg. She kicks it several times then drops her elbow down on it! Kailene is in severe agony, but she still tries to fight back. But a Dragon Screw to her leg stops Kailene in her tracks! Angelica pulls her near a corner as she slides out of the ring. She's about to slam Kailene's leg into the ring post, but Starr still has enough strength to grab the ropes and pull Angelica's face into the post instead! With her stunned, Kailene pulls herself up against the corner. She makes the climb up top on her good foot, but Angelica stops her with a forearm to the face. Kailene stumbles to stay balanced, but Angelica then shoves her back down. She then makes the climb up top herself and waits for Kailene to stand. But just when she does, "The Supernova" pulls the ropes, causing Angelica to slip and crash on the turnbuckle! With Angelica stunned, Kailene begins to climb back up to Angelica. When she makes it up, Kailene headbutts Angelica for good measure. She then hooks her arm….and Kailene hits the Superplex on Angelica!"

Jazz: "Good lord what a Superplex from Kailene!"

Jay: "It took risking her healt just to take down Angelica! Now both women appear to be out cold!"

The crowd came alive once more, clearly enjoying the match! Both women are laid out in the ring, Kailene grabs her heavily damaged leg as she tries to stand up. Angelica weakly sits up and pulls herself to her feet. The two meet face-to-face, nose-to-nose, and Kailene delivers a stiff Forearm! Angelica stumbles a bit before hitting a Chop then a Forearm to Kailene! Kailene is wobbly, but she hits a Forearm of her own! Angelica leans against the ropes, but she goes for another Chop. Until Kailene blocks and hits another Forearm! "The Supernova" kept hitting Angelica with Forearms repeatedly in the face, each time with more fury and stiffness in the strikes! Finally, the ref had to step in and pull Kailene away. But this gives "The American Princess" the opening to kick Kailene in her bad leg! The crowd boos as Kailene collapses, holding her leg! Angelica smirks and drags her opponent by the hair. She attempts a Vertical Suplex, but Kailene manages to land behind her. She pulls her arm between her legs and connects on the Star Destroyer (Pumphandle Half Nelson Driver)! Kailene makes the cover!

1….2….thr-KICKOUT!

Jay: "Angelica kicks out a mere second before the three count!"

Jazz: "What more can she do to Angelica!?"

The crowd lets out an audible groan when Angelica kicks out. But Kailene was not finished. She picks Angelica up and applies the Full Nelson submission! The referee asks Angelica if she wants to give up, but Angelica tells him "No!" So Kailene swings her around, making the submission even worse. She then attempts the Starlight Extinction (Full Nelson lifted into a Reverse STO), but Angelica rolls and catches her with a Schoolboy! But instead of going for the pin, Rhodes gets up, grabs Kailene's legs, and transitions into the Rhodes Special (Inverted Figure Four)!

Jay: "There it is! The Rhodes Special! The same submission that won her the ICW Women's Title!"

Jazz: "Is this the end for The Supernova?"

The crowd begged for Kailene not to submit! But Kailene was in so much pain for her leg! "GIVE UP, KAILENE! YOU CAN'T WIN!" Angelica yells. But "The Supernova" would not quit! She instead used her power to slowly roll onto her stomach and turn the submission on Angelica! Now it was "The American Princess" who was in a lot of pain! And just as the crowd cheers for Angelica to tap out, she manages to roll back over and reapply the Rhodes Special on Kailene! Kailene was now grabbing her own hair, barely able to take the pain! She raises her hand, thinking about tapping...but she pulls herself closer to the ropes and finally grabs them!

Jazz: "Kailene showed toughness and manages to get the ropes!"

The crowd cheers when Kailene grabs the ropes. Angelica kept the hold applied until the ref counted to four. She finally lets Kailene free, frustration clearly written on her face. She pulls Kailene by her hair back to her feet and tells her "You're nothing compared to me." Angelica turns her around and attempts her Queen's Landing (Vertebreaker), but Kailene quickly flips behind her and connects on a Dragon Suplex! She hops back up on one foot and grabs Angelica again. She attempts the Nova Driver (Spinning Michinoku Driver II), but Angelica lands behind her and kicks her bad leg! Kailene collapses on a knee, and Angelica quickly follows up with the Beautiful Disaster Kick! Kailene collapses, but Angelica isn't finished! She scoops her back up and attempts the Cross Rhodes! However, Kailene spins around and counters into her Draco's Fangs (Dragon Sleeper)! Kailene had the submission locked in deep as Angelica had nowhere to go! Kailene drops down on her back, but she couldn't apply the bodyscissors! And this allows Angelica to roll backwards, out of the Draco's Fangs, and lift Kailene right into the Cross Rhodes! Angelica hooks both legs!

1….2….3!

"Here is your winner: ANGELICA RHODES

Jazz: "Kailene puts up a tough fight, but 'The American Princess' picks up the three count and the win!"

Jay: "But most importantly, this proves to everyone that Angelica Rhodes is better than Kailene Starr!"

Angelica gets up and has her arm raised. The crowd boos her, but she just smiles and yells "I'M THE STAR! AND NO ONE IS ON MY LEVEL!" She gets out of the ring and continues to brag about herself. And Kailene sits up and keeps her head down, clearly disappointed in herself.

Jazz: "What a showing from both women tonight. Angelica may have taken the win, but Kailene should be proud of her performance."

Jay: "You're right, Jazz. Kailene has nothing to be disappointed in. Because she was always going to be second-best to The American Princess. Hell, the rest of the women in ICW should take notice, because they all pale in comparison to Angelica Rhodes."

Jazz: "We'll have to see what's next for both of them. But what a start to New Horizon so far! And we have so much more to offer! Because coming up next, it's the three way match for the ICW Tag Team Championship! The defending champions, The Wayne Bros, will put their titles on the line against La Familia and Sovereignty!"

The screen cuts to an black room. There, Chris Wolf paced back & forth while shaking his head.

Chris: "All of you….all of you don't know how cutthroat and dangerous I really am. You all look down on me thinking how much of a waste of space I am! I'll show you… I'll show ALL of you! Night 2! I will rip Furno apart! I'm going to cut him open and paint the ring in his own blood! I WILL BE DEMOLITION CHAMPION! And all of you will see me as the ultimate predator!"

Chris glares at the camera angrily as the screen cuts back to the arena.

The lights went out for a bit as Bend the Knee (by Lansdowne) plays. The crowd stayed quiet for a bit until two spotlights shined on Alexander Magnus & Rodri Montoya wearing matching "SOVEREIGNTY" jerseys. The crowd started booing as the two kept their heads down and their hands behind their backs. When the lights returned to normal, the two marched down to the ring. They walk up the steps, wipe their feet on the apron, and step inside. They stood in the center with their hands behind their backs.

Jazz: "Sovereignty arrived on the scene of ICW and laid out both the Wayne Bros & La Familia! They've claimed to be superior to both teams and look to rip away the tag titles to prove it!"

Jay: "It's hard not to believe them when they've been running rampant since their arrival! Magnus can rip apart any limbs he chooses and Rodri's chops can turn a chest into grounded meat! It's a crime that they have to deal with two tag teams at once!"

Familia (by Anuel AA and Nicki Minaj ft. BANTU) starts playing to loud cheers. Freddy & Detrick walk out wearing the classic "Guerrero" green tights and royal crowns on their heads. Mateo walks out with them wearing a black & green suit. He hypes up his cousins as they make their way to the ring. Freddy & Detrick leap in the ring and climb up the turnbuckles. They pose to the cheering crowd as Mateo tells everyone that they're tag team royalty. Sovereignty calmly watches the pandering in the corner.

Jazz: "This is a huge moment for these two teams! Days after the anniversary of their father's passing, Freddy & Detrick look to honor him by bringing tag team gold back to the Guerrero name! And with the suspicious Mateo in their corner, they have a chance to make it happen!"

Jay: "Freddy & Detrick's best weapon is lying, cheating, & stealing! Mateo's been trying to make them see that and he isn't wrong! He's proven it works in that 10-man tag, and who knows? They might pull off the heist of the century if they listen to Mateo!"

The arena lights cut off when Chrome Hearts (by CFO$) played to cheers. Ten seconds later, a spotlight shines on Derrick & Devin, who were getting pumped up. 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 two then head to the ring, clapping and stepping to the music. When the brothers get to the side of the ring, they slide in, run across the ring, and slide on their knees to the ropes and cheer loudly. The two hold up the tag titles for everyone to see.

Jazz: "The champions are excited to be in this match, but they could be taking in more than they initially realize. One of these teams is tough to face. But both?"

Jay: "Impossible, Jazz. Cannot be done. These two get off on adrenaline, but this is just shooting themselves in the foot! The Wayne Bros will regret asking for this match!"

As the song fades, the lights dim except for the spotlight covering the ring.

"The following contest...is a Triple Threat Tag Team Match scheduled for one fall...and it is for the ICW Tag Team Championship! Introducing first, the challengers: at a total combined weight of 520 lbs: 'Alexander Magnus & Rodri Montoya' SOOOOVEREIGNTYYYYY!"

The crowd boos as Sovereignty stands with their hands behind their backs.

"Their opponents, first, also the challengers, accompanied by Mateo Guerrero, at a total combined weight of 459 lbs: 'Freddy Escobar & Detrick Cyrus' LAAAA FAAAAAMILIAAAAA!"

The crowd cheers as Freddy & Detrick beat their chests.

"And finally, at a total combined weight of 341lbs, they are the ICW Tag Team Champions: 'Derrick & Devin' THE WAYYYYYYNE BROOOOOS!"

The crowd cheers again as the Wayne Bros hold up their titles. They hand them over to the ref, who raises them up again.

Jazz: "Three teams will fight for the chance to be tag champions. This is going to be chaotic!"

The match starts with all three teams standing in the ring. The Wayne Bros stood face-to-face with La Familia...and then all four of them charged right at Sovereignty! Derrick & Devin went after Alexander while Freddy & Detrick took the right to Rodri! The champions push Magnus against the corner while La Familia overwhelms Rodri and tackles him to the floor! The Waynes throw Magnus out to the floor, and as he stands up, they both run and hit a Double Suicide Dive! La Familia got on different sides of the apron and hit Double Running Dropkicks, knocking Rodri into the timekeeper area!

Jazz: "From the jump, The Wayne Bros & La Familia are taking the fight to Sovereignty!"

Jay: "Sovereignty is the biggest threat in this match! The only hope either team has is by doing anything they can to take them out!"

The crowd cheers as the two beloved teams roll back in the ring. They went eye-to-eye before looking around the arena. The Wayne Bros & La Familia looked back at each other, shrugged, and began throwing fists! La Familia knocks the champs into opposite corners. Freddy whips Devin while Cyrus whips Derrick. But the Wayne Bros grab each other's arms and spin around to Superkick La Familia...until La Familia catches the kick! Freddy & Detrick stood side-by-side before flipping the Waynes. As they land on their feet, Familia Irish Whips them. They attempt Back Body Drops, but the Waynes flip over their backs, roll past them, backflips into the Leg Catch, and take La Familia down with the Rana! The Waynes Kip Up and Dropkicks Familia back down as they got the crowd hyped! They grab Detrick and throw him out before lifting Freddy. After a Double Irish Whip, they take Escobar down with a Double Hip Toss! They followed up with a Backflip & Shooting Star Combo! They make the pin!

1…..BREAKUP!

Rodri drags Freddy from the pin and tosses him into the barricade! The Wayne Bros got up, ran the ropes, and went for Dual Suicide Dives. But Rodri catches both of them out of the air by the necks and Chokeslams them on the floor!

Jazz: "My word! He just wiped out the tag champions out of midair!"

Jay: "What power by Rodri Montoya!"

Cyrus runs towards Rodri, but Magnus intercepts with a brutal Running European Uppercut! Rodri rolls Cyrus back in the ring as Sovereignty slides in. Magnus holds up Cyrus as Rodri Chops him HARD across the chest! Detrick collapses against Rodri, who holds him up for Magnus to Chop! As Detrick falls down flat, Escobar runs in and attacks Alexander until Rodri grabs him and Chops Freddy HARD! Escobar collapses just as the recovered Wayne Bros both Springboard in the ring… and right into Knife Edge Chops from Sovereignty! Both teams were laid out clutching their chests, but Magnus & Montoya weren't satisfied! The crowd watches as Sovereignty lifts up someone and Chops them in the chest! Magnus grabs Devin and lays him out with a Chop! Rodri sends Derrick across the ring with a Brutal Chop! He then stands Detrick up and Chops him so hard Cyrus flips and crashes down! Alexander even Chops Freddy hard enough to send him crashing out of the ring! The crowd couldn't help but cheer at Sovereignty for chopping the flesh off of everyone's chests!

Jay: "Look at their chests, Jazz! Damn near chopped the flesh & skin off his chest!"

Jazz: "Just a brutal onslaught by the merciless tag team! They aren't holding anything back!"

Devin weakly crawls to a corner, but Magnus was quick to lift him up. He whips him out of the corner and right into yet another chop from Montoya! But before Devin could fall, Rodri hoists him into the air followed by powerbombing him into a Bridging German Suplex from Alexander!

1...2-BREAKUP!

Derrick dives onto Magnus and breaks the count! But Rodri quickly stomps Derrick down until he stops moving! He then hooks him, lifts up, and Powerbombs him straight down onto his twin brother! Sovereignty looks over the destruction they caused...until Detrick gets up and attacks Rodri! At the same time, Freddy rushes in and targets Magnus! Familia gains the upper hand for a moment, but Sovereignty swiftly overwhelms their opponents! Magnus and Rodri were beating La Familia until the Wayne Bros were back up! Rodri turns and goes for the Double Lariat! But the twin brothers ducks and Double Superkicks Magnus from behind! Alexander falls out, but Rodri quickly grabs the champions by the throat! Suddenly, La Familia pops up and hits a Double Enziguri! Rodri stumbled all the way to the ropes, and he was knocked down by Four Superkicks at the same time! The two teams turn to face Magnus. As he turned around, Alexander was hit with four Superkicks as well! The crowd begins to cheer La Familia & The Wayne Bros...and Familia quickly rolls up the tag champions!

1….2...KICKOUT!

As soon as the Wayne Bros kick out, Freddy & Detrick rolls back up and Superkick the tag champs!

Jazz: "Superkick to the Wayne Bros! La Familia looked for the quick win, but the Wayne Bros aren't making it easy for them!"

Jay: "Freddy & Detrick have the momentum right now! And when they get going, no one will be able to last very long!"

Mateo calls for Freddy & Detrick to hit the Three Amigos. They nod and lift up The Wayne Bros. But the champs counter out of the first amigo by landing behind them and shoving La Familia into each other! As they stumble backwards, the Wayne's hit stereo Poison Ranas! Freddy & Detrick were now laid out near the corners, and Devin & Derrick quickly made their way up to the top! Devin looks down at Freddy and Derrick takes aim at Cyrus! They went for Dual Phoenix Splashes, but La Familia quickly rolled out of the way! The Waynes did roll safely to their feet….suddenly Rodri slides in and hits BOTH OF THEM WITH SHOTGUN DROPKICKS! The Wayne Bros were sent FLYING across the ring and crashing all the way to the floor! And the crowd was going wild! With the tag champs knocked out, Rodri grabs Cyrus and applies his Kong's Wrath! (Hammerlock Guillotine Choke) At the same time, Magnus rolls in, grabs Freddy, and locks in Gojira Clutch (Rear Naked Choke)! La Familia were close to fading….and that's when Mateo got on the apron and distracted the referee!

Jazz: "Mateo is already making his presence felt by distracting the ref."

Jay: "He saw his Familia was in danger! He's only looking out for them! Even if it's hampering Alexander & Rodri."

Sovereignty sees Mateo interfering, so they toss Freddy & Detrick aside and approach Mateo. They both grab him by the collar and hurl him in the ring! As Mateo stumbles back up, both Magnus & Montoya hit him with a Big Boot across the face! Mateo crashes down, Sovereignty turns back to La Familia, and the Wayne Bros suddenly hit both guys with Springboard Dropkicks to the face! Magnus falls out of the ring, but Rodri remains standing! He charges at the champions, but they drape the ropes and send him to the floor! Freddy & Detrick were finally back up, and they each sprint across the ring and crash down on Sovereignty! Freddy hits a Tope Con Hilo onto Alexander and Cyrus does the same to Rodri! And just as everyone was getting back up, the tag champs stood in opposite corners, sprinted past each other, and connected on the Cross Slash Triangle Moonsaults onto everyone!

Jazz: "The Wayne Bros soared high in the lights and wiped out everybody!"

Jay: "Bodies are scattered...this is anyone's match to win!"

Bodies were scattered everywhere! And the crowd chants "This is awesome!" After about thirty seconds, the Wayne Bros were slowly back up. Devin grabs Freddy and rolls him in the ring. Escobar crawled to the center as Derrick & Devin stood in opposite corners. They each point at each other, signaling the Telepathy (Meeting In The Middle Knee Strike/Superkick combo). Freddy crawls to his knees, the Waynes go for Telepathy….and Mateo shoves Escobar so he can take the blow! Mateo was knocked out cold, and the tag champs were surprised at the sacrifice! But as they turn around, Detrick's suddenly back in and he hits both guys with Double Overtime (Leaping Reverse STO)! Freddy weakly ascends to the top rope as Cyrus lifts Derrick on his shoulders! Freddy jumps off and connects on the Swerve Stomp right into a Kneeling Powerbomb from Detrick! He makes the cover!

2-BREAKUP!

The pin was broken up when Magnus runs in and Uppercuts Freddy into Detrick! With Freddy out, Alexander grabs Detrick and uppercuts him repeatedly in the corner! Uppercut after Uppercut after Uppercut! Devin gets up and rushes at them! But Alexander sidesteps as Devin hits Cyrus with The Strikeout (Helluva Kick)! With Detrick down, Alexander grabs Devin and unleashes a fury of Uppercuts! Devin is hit with just as many Uppercuts as Cyrus! Alexander then lifts Devin to the top rope and carries him by the arms. He attempts the Iconoclasm in the center, but Freddy catches him with the Royal Sword (Bicycle Knee Strike) to the jaw! Magnus stumbles back, dropping Devin as he hits the Superkick! Magnus collapses to his knees as Freddy & Devin stood in opposite corners. They look at each other, look at Magnus, and hit him with Telepathy! Before Freddy & Devin could do anything else, Rodri runs in and hits both with Double Clotheslines! He turns around just as Derrick and Cyrus slides in and hits Greeting From the Streets (915 (Trouble in Paradise)/Checkmate (Superkick) combo)! Rodri stumbles, and Detrick uses his strength & power to lift Montoya over the shoulders! He and Derrick then hit him with the Guerrero Experience (Fireman's Carry into the Superkick/DKO (Overhead Kick))!

Jazz: "The Guerrero Experience to Rodri! This could be it!"

Jay: "But both Detrick & Derrick are going for the cover!"

Rodri collapses to the mat as both Derrick & Cyrus make the cover!

BREAKUP!

Freddy & Devin quickly broke up the pin, and the two brother tag teams stared down again! They were tired, they were bruised, their chests were beat red, and they began to fight it out again! La Familia knocks the champions against the ropes across from each other. Familia soon Irish Whip them at each other. However, Devin rolls under Derrick who flips over him! And both of them hit Dual Spike DDTs at the same time! The tag champs pick up Freddy & Detrick, and Derrick helps lift both of them onto Devin's shoulders. He climbs the top rope as Devin walks around the ring holding both guys up. The Wayne Bros call for the TriFactore (The Rolling Slam followed by a 630 Senton and finished by a Phoenix Splash) on both guys! Devin somehow hits both with the Rolling Slam! But before Derrick can hit the 630, Rodri gets on the apron and shoves him all the way into the barricade! As Devin gets up, Magnus runs in, grabs him, and hits the Neutralizer! Rodri looks down at La Familia laid out...and he climbs to the top rope! The crowd stands up to watch this 6'8" 280lbs man go to the top rope! And once he got there, without a second thought….Rodri jumps off and HITS A SPLASH ONTO BOTH FREDDY AND DETRICK!

Jazz: "OH! MY! HEAVENS!"

Jay: "HOLY HELL! RODRI JUST SPLASH DOWN ON LA FAMILIA!"

The ring shook from the force of the impact! The crowd chanted "HOLY SHIT!" as the referee counts!

…..1!

…...BREAKUP!

Mateo yanks the referee out of the ring!

Jazz: "Mateo may have just saved the match for his cousins!"

Jay: "Sovereignty had their win stolen by Mateo! And they are NOT happy!"

Magnus and Rodri turn to look at Mateo, realizing what he just did, and they rush out after him! Mateo tries to get away, but Rodri stops him dead with the Big Boot! He tosses him in the ring as Magnus climbs up. Rodri lifts him on the shoulders, and Sovereignty flatten Mateo with the top rope European Uppercut into the Powerbomb! With Mateo wiped out, Sovereignty turns their attention to Devin. Magnus climbs back up as Rodri lifts him up. Before Magnus could move, Freddy & Detrick are back up and Superkicks Rodri! He stumbles back and frees Devin to the top rope with Magnus! Devin hooks Alexander's arms, and he drops him with the Top Rope Tiger Driver! They both were laid out in the ring! Rodri tries to attack La Familia, but Detrick lifts him by the legs as Rodri is hit with the Flapjack into Overtime! La Familia stumbles to their feet….until Derrick Springboards and hits both of them with Double Poison Ranas! Cyrus crashes to the floor as Freddy lays lifeless! Derrick helps his brother up and tells him to climb! Devin drags himself to the top as Derrick hooks Freddy by the legs! And the Wayne Bros connect on the Neon Blast (Strong Zero)! The ref rolls in as they both cover Freddy!

"Here are your winners….and STILLLLL ICW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: The Wayne Bros!"

Jazz: "Somehow, someway, the Wayne Bros survived this chaotic encounter and retained the ICW Tag Team Championships!"

Jay: "Those two are some of the luckiest people I've ever seen! With the odds stacked against them, they somehow found a way to succeed!"

The Wayne Bros lift each other up, albeit barely. They stood tall, holding the tag team titles to the crowd. Mateo crawls over and checks on Freddy & Detrick while Sovereignty recovers on the floor, clearly not happy at the outcome.

Jay: "I don't know about you, Jazz. But I need to catch my breath after what I saw. This was insanity from start to finish!"

Jazz: "Well you better recover quickly cause New Horizon is far from over! We're now gonna switch from the tag titles to the ICW Women's Championship because up next, Daria St. Leger puts the title on the line against Texas's own Natalia Rodriguez!"

The screen suddenly went static-y. A sign soon appears saying:

The Revolution Will Be Live:

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

It then cuts to Revolution standing in front of a black wall with their logo on it. Ava looks calm, Clay has a smirk, Christian is beyond pissed off, and Sai...just stares at the camera with his shades on.

Clay: "How fitting that the first PPV for Revolution is called New Horizon. Because that's the idea that we are trying to bring to ICW: Usher in a new horizon. Changing this place. Out with the old, and in with the new. And nothing is as old in the WFA as one Chris Blade."

Ava: "Here's the thing, Chris. You were never a major target for Revolution. You were just supposed to be the stepping stone for the Revolution to rise up and walk over. Yet you insist on standing in our way. We tried to be kind and warned you to stand aside. You proceeded to get a fast one on Clay. We tried to break you apart, and you literally stood up and undermined everything we're trying to build for. Now you've forced our hand. Worst of all, you forced Sai's hand. There will not be a tomorrow for you, Chris Blade. We will make sure you never come back. This time, Chris, you don't get a choice."

Christian: "YOU WILL FALL, BLADE! YOU! WILL! FALL!"

Sai stares at the camera for up to an entire minute. He finally steps forward, leans closer, and slowly removes his sunglasses.

Sai: "It's over, Chris.

With that, the screen cuts out and fades back to the arena.

Pillars of fire explode from the stage as I Burn (Remix by Jeff and Casey Lee Williams) plays. As the flames die down, Natalia appears on the stage to a HUGE pop! She marches to the ring, ignoring the ovation she's receiving, and the crowd LOUDLY chants her name! Once she walks up to the apron, she teases flipping over the ropes before scoffing and getting inside. Natalia storms over to the corner and sits there. She angrily waits for her opponent to walk out as the crowd keeps chanting her name!

Jazz: "I can only imagine what's going through Natalia's mind right now. The battle between DJ & Jason, her feelings towards the crowd, her loyalty towards Monarchy in question, so many questions surrounding Natalia."

Jay: "Natalia doesn't even care about any of that, Jazz! She's been focused on one thing in her life, and that's the Women's Title! Every decision she's made was all to lead her to this match! And now she's one win away from being champion!"

As the crowd continues to chant "NATTIE", Rage of Poseidon (by Apocalyptica) plays. The arena lights darken as Daria walks out from the crowd with the ICW Women's Title around her neck. She takes her time descending down the stairs while being followed by Kirsi & Alexandra of The Misfits. The crowd did cheer for her, but it was nowhere as beloved as it was for Natalia. She goes past the barricade and onto the apron where she rests one hand on a ring post, surveying the crowd for a few seconds. Daria then gets into the ring through a second rope and slowly proceeds towards the corner to lean backwards on it. She casually looks at Natalia, who stares back with a bitter expression. Kirsi & Alexandra stood next to her on the apron and looked around the arena.

Jazz: "While Natalia seems hungry, almost desperate, for the championship...Daria appears to not be taking her seriously. At least, this version of Natalia. She wants to see the part of her that made Nattie so beloved and a household name!"

Jay: "THAT version of Natalia, the old version, never even made it to this point! She's never been so dominant and brutal in ICW in her life! And for Daria to underestimate her right now, we may see a new Women's Champion pretty soon!"

While the two women stare down, the lights dim except for the spotlight covering the ring.

"The following contest, scheduled for one fall….is for the ICW Women's Championship! Introducing the challenger, representing Monarchy, from El Paso, Texas: 'La Chica Fuego' NAAAATALIA ROOOODRIGUEZZZZ!"

The crowd lets out a HUGE ovation for Natalia! Loud "NAT-TIE" chants fill the arena, and Natalia keeps her glare focused on Daria.

"Introducing her opponent, representing The Misfits, from Chicago, Illinois, she is the ICW Women's Champion: DARIA! ST. LLLLLLLEGERRRRR!"

There were cheers for Daria, but it was quieter compared to the cheers for Natalia. This didn't bother Daria, though, as she gave a slight wave to the people.

Jazz: "Will everything Natalia sacrificed be worth it tonight? Can she overcome Daria to win the title? Or will Daria succeed in her first title defense?"

The bell rings, and the crowd is in a frenzy for Natalia! She gets up, but she doesn't break her gaze at the champion! Daria, meanwhile, looks around and listens to the cheering and chanting! She shrugs and turns to Kirsi & Alexandra, giving each of them a fist bump. But when she turns around, she sees Nattie charging right at her and eats a Shotgun Dropkick to the face! She slumps down just as "The Fiery Girl" attacks Kirsi & Alexandra! She knocks both of them to the floor, rolls out, and slams them against the barricade! After wiping out the Misfits, she rolls back in and watches Daria get up. Natalia charges at her….and eats a BRUTAL Lariat! Daria Wipes her mouth and sees her friends laid out on the floor. She takes a deep breath and turns back to Nattie. "So you wanna play those games. Okay then." As Nattie is getting back up, Daria grabs her and tosses her across the ring! She tries to pull herself up with the ropes, but the champion grabs her waist and Deadlifts her in the air! She then German Suplexes her far across the ring! And Natalia bounces across the ring and crashes down HARD on her neck and back! The crowd shifts to booing Daria. Daria looks around at the heated crowd. She just shrugs then drags Nattie back up. Daria punches her in the head that knocks her opponent back. She punches Natalia again, and the punch knocks her back down! Daria just sighs and picks her back up again, but this time, Natalia starts to fight back! The cheering starts to grow as Nattie punches Daria rapidly in the face! Daria suddenly kicks her into a corner! Daria approaches her and chops Natalia HARD! Nattie slumps down, but Daria lifts her back up! She punches and chops Natalia until she can barely stand! At that moment, Daria hooks her arm, deadlifts her vertically in the air, and throws her with the Vertical Suplex! Nattie crashed down and her body slid out to the floor!

Jazz: "Good Lord Daria just slammed Natalia halfway across the ring! Nattie might've flipped the switch in Daria, which is NEVER a good thing against her!"

Jay: "Natalia was willing to take down anyone in her way! But I worry that this won't be so easy for her anymore..."

Daria rolls out and grabs Natalia. She looks back at her friends recovering then Gorilla Presses her up high. Natalia fights out, however, and shoves Daria's face into the ring post! Natalia charges at her, but Daria scoops her up and throws her over the barricade! Daria rolls in then back out to break the count. But as she walks over, Natalia charges, leaps over the barricade, and hits her Fuego Special (Leg Trap Sunset Flip Powerbomb) on the floor! The crowd suddenly came alive for Natalia! Nattie gets up and slides in the ring. And she sprints across the ring, runs back, and hits a clueless Daria with a Suicide Senton Bomb! The crowd grew louder for their fellow Texan! Natalia grabs Daria and rolls her back in the ring. As Daria crawls up, Natalia runs and strikes with the Flaming Wizard (Shining Wizard) to the head! Natalia makes the cover!

1...2 KICKOUT.

Jazz: "A Flaming Wizard to the head! But it wasn't enough for Natalia to get the win."

Jay: "She just shoved Natalia off of her as if she was nothing."

Daria tosses her off, but Natalia rushes over and beats her down repeatedly! She then grabs her arm & applies her Burning Pain (Bridging Fujiwara Armbar)! The crowd rallies behind Nattie as she cranks the arm! Daria manages to fight through the pain and rolls on her back. She rolls Natalia over, gets up, and deadlifts her into a Spike Powerbomb! Natalia was bounced off the canvas and landed horribly! The crowd turns on Daria and screams for Natalia to fight back! Daria stretches her arm a bit and grabs Rodriguez by her chin. But as she lifts her up, Natalia SLAPS Daria across the face! And this earns a HUGE pop from everyone! Daria brushes her hair back, sighs deeply, and KNOCKS Nattie's head off with the Burning Lariat! Daria makes a casual cover!

1….2 KICKOUT!

Jazz: "My word that Lariat was brutal! But Natalia kicked out and is still in the fight!"

Jay: "Nattie is stubborn, Jazz! She isn't gonna give up on this huge opportunity!"

The crowd pops for Natalia kicking out. Daria sits there with a bored expression. She stands up and towers over Natalia. Nattie, meanwhile, struggled to push herself up. Daria hooks her waist and deadlifts Rodriguez like a bag sack. She paces around the ring before Jackknife Buckle Bombing her into a corner! Natalia collapses and lays there practically dead. Daria walks over and bends down in front of her. She lifts Natalia's head and tries to tap her awake. "Wake up." Daria says. "You attacked my friends and fired me up. Now I'm getting bored here. So get up and show me what you're made of." Daria drags Natalia to her knees and slaps her across the face. She goes back and forth with her slaps to wake Nattie up! Finally, Natalia's face turns red and she punches Daria across the face! Natalia comes back with multiple punches at her opponent. Daria stands there, taking the shots, until she hits a Snap Overhead Belly-To-Belly Suplex! Natalia crashes across the ring and near the opposite corner! And the crowd continues to boo Daria! Natalia stumbles up, and Daria charges right at her. But Nattie stops her with a Back Elbow. She kicks Daria back and pulls up to the top rope. But Daria strikes with a wicked Uppercut that stuns Nattie! Daria then lifts her seated on the top rope, climbs up, and lifts her Vertically in the air! She attempts the Vertical Suplex, but Natalia fights back by kneeing her in the face! Natalia slides down and hits the Fuego Special from the top rope! The crowd went nuts and counted the pin!

...thr-KICKOUT!

Jazz: "NO! Daria kicks out of a sudden Fuego Special!"

Jay: "How was that not a three-count!? Natalia had the match won!"

The crowd groans when Daria kicks out! As both women pull themselves back up, Natalia strikes first with a Flame Blast (Superkick)! Daria stumbles back as she gets hit with another Flame Blast! And another! One final Flame Blast knocks Daria loopy, and Natalia hits the Firecracker (Backstabber)! Clutching her back, Daria quickly tries to stand, but Natalia runs the ropes and hits the Sling Blade! Daria crawls over and leans against the middle ropes as Natalia felt the fire burn inside her! The crowd was fully behind Rodriguez by chanting her name! Natalia gets up, runs the ropes, and attempts the 915 (619)! But Daria ducks and Natalia spins back in the ring! Daria tries to Lariat her head off again, but Natalia ducks and Dropkicks her over the ropes! The champion lands on her feet, but Natalia grabs the ropes, slingshots herself over the ropes, and hits Daria with a Corkscrew Cutter on the floor! Natalia gets up and rolls Daria back in! She climbs to the top rope and stands tall! Everyone stands to watch what happens! Natalia spreads her arms! She jumps off….and she connects on the Firebird Splash (Phoenix Splash)! Natalia makes the pin! The crowd counts along!

NO! KICKOUT!

Jazz: "Good Lord! Both women are laying it all in the ring!"

Jay: "Natalia can't believe Daria is still alive! And frankly, neither can I!"

Daria kicks out at a millisecond from a three count! And the crowd LOSES it! But Natalia wasn't wasting any more time! She immediately rushes to a corner and leaps back up! Natttie stands straight looking down at Daria! She leaps off...and hits the Tribute to Eddie (TTE; Frog Splash)! Or so she thought! Because as she crashes down, Daria grabs her! She gets up while holding Natalia across her chest! She paces the ring for a bit then goes for the Fallaway Slam- CRUCIFIX BOMB BY NATALIA! The crowd is in a frenzy! Nattie traps Daria's arm and starts Elbowing her in the jaw! Elbow after elbow after elbow, Nattie beats her down until Daria goes limp! And she soon locks in the Burning Pain again! Daria was laid out cold! Nattie desperately pulls the arm back even further! The referee checks to see if Daria can't compete! And just before he calls for the bell, Daria starts to move! She starts crawling and inching closer to the ropes! But Natalia grabs her arm and puts Daria in the Arm Trap Crossface!

Jazz: "The Crossface is applied! Daria has nowhere to go!"

Jay: "This could be it, Jazz! We might see a new champion!"

The crowd is LOSING it! They are screaming and yelling for Natalia to tap her out! Everyone is DESPERATE to see her win, and Natalia is just as desperate to tap Daria out! But Daria would not give in! She used every ounce of strength still in her to crawl...and she finally grabbed the ropes! Natalia goes BERSERK! She starts punching and kicking Daria repeatedly until the referee has to pull her away! Natalia puts her head down in the corner wondering what more she needs to do now! Natalia suddenly lifts her head up as realization crosses her head. She turns to Daria and waits for her to get up! The champion could barely move, but she pushed herself to her knees. As soon as she does that, Nattie rushes over and attempts the Final Resolution (Kinshasa)! But Daria caught it! She gets up, holding Natalia's leg, and lifts her up for a Powerbomb! But Natalia leaps down behind her and runs the ropes! She ducks past Daria and tries the Flame Cutter (Handspring Cutter)! But Daria grabs her waist and attempts a German Suplex! But Natalia lands on her feet! She then runs at her and goes for the Kingston Driver (Front Flip DDT)! But Daria flips her over and runs the ropes! Natalia lands and runs as well! They both charge at each other...and Natalia eats the One Arm Scissor (Running Single Leg Dropkick) and turns inside out! A winded Daria took her time getting back up, but she waits for Natalia to stand again! Natalia gets up...and she eats ANOTHER One-Arm Scissor! Finally, Daria pulls her by the arm, hoists her in the air, and plants her with the Dreamfall (Back Suplex into a front Facebuster) Daria rolls her over and makes the count!

"Here is your winner….and STILLLLL ICW Women's Champion: DARIA! ST. LLLLLLLEGERRRRR!"

Jazz: "What a thrilling title match! Natalia threw everything she had in this match! She gave it her all! But Daria was too much to overcome, and the leader of the Misfits retains the ICW Women's Title!"

Jay: "Several times did I feel Natalia should've won, Jazz! But I'll give some credit to Daria, she brought the fight today."

The crowd gives a round of applause to Daria & Natalia for their efforts. Daria slowly gets up and grabs her title before going over and checking on her friends. Thankfully, Kirsi & Alexandra were okay as Daria relaxed once more. In the ring, Nattie rolls to the corner and leans against it. She puts her head down and grabs her hair, extremely frustrated in herself. Daria glances over at Nattie, but turns to walk away. Alexandra follows, but Kirsi stands there. She just stares at Natalia, feeling bad. Kirsi glances over at her two friends….and rolls in the ring! She skips around, telling the crowd to get louder and cheer for Natalia! The crowd slowly breaks out in a "NAT-TIE" chant along with Kirsi! Daria and Alexandra look around the arena, listening to the cheers. The two exchange looks….and Daria shrugs before entering the ring. She looks down at Nattie, who slowly looks up at her. Alexandra sighs and joins her friends in kneeling next to Nattie. As the crowd chants for Natalia, Daria smiles and offers her a hand. "They seem to love you. Why not give the people what they want?" Natalia looks at the hand. She looks up at Daria. She looks around the arena chanting her name! And she decides….to roll out of the ring! The crowd lets out a sad groan while Kirsi appears distraught. Alexandra remains stoic, and Daria can't help but looks disappointed. They get up and watch Natalia storm away, keeping her head down. Daria sighs and shrugs at the crowd before holding up her title.

Jazz: "You can't help but feel for Natalia. She turned away from the fans, sided with Monarchy, all just to get a chance to become Women's Champion. And when she finally got that chance, she came up short. The simple question now is 'What's next?'"

Jay: "Natalia is a strong competitor, Jazz. And with Monarchy beside her, she'll be back in the title scene in no time!"

Jazz: "That isn't if she ditches Monarchy and finally embraces the fanbase. Only time will tell for her. But coming up next on New Horizon is a major one. The ICW Heavyweight Championship will be on the line as Will Ralston defends in a Triple Threat Match against the winner of the Supernovas Tournament: Asher Darma, and the tournament runner-up: Mark Jacobs!"

The screen cuts to the famous Suzuki-Gun hideout. And sitting in the leather chair was Katashi Suzuki with a sinister expression.

Katashi: 自分がどこから来たのかを覚えているでしょう。あなたは誰が以前の戦闘機にあなたを成形を覚えています。それでもダウングレードは続きます。人間性を保つためだけに、わざと自分を弱くする。その弱さは俺の手で殺される。私たちが向き合うとき、私はその弱点をあなたから奪うか、あなたを引き裂くかどちらかでしょう！ ((So you do remember where you've come from. You do remember who molded you into the fighter you once was. And yet, you still continue to downgrade yourself. You purposefully make yourself WEAK just to maintain your humanity. That weakness will get you killed by my hands, CJ. When we face, I will either shed you of that weakness, or rip you apart!))

The screen fades with Katashi looking up at the camera. The screen soon cuts back to the arena.

"The following contest is a Triple Threat Match, scheduled for one fall, and it is for the ICW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!"

The lights go out as Lydia (by Highly Suspect) starts to play causing EVERYONE to boo loudly! As the lyrics begin, Mark Jacobs appears under a faint spotlight. He looks up and does his Baneful Throat slit as the lights turn on with a flash. Jacobs looks around in disgust at the Houston crowd before slowly walking down to the ring. He climbs the steps and steps onto the apron as the boos continue to rain down. He turns towards the crowd, smirking, and raises his hands on either side of him. Mark then steps through the middle rope and climbs to the top rope, yelling "I'M THE NEXT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!"

Jazz: "Out of the gate, Mark Jacobs made his intentions known: he was going after the Heavyweight Championship and nobody was stopping him. Because in his heart, no one is worthy of being champion except for him. This has not made him any friends, however."

Jay: "Say what you will about his attitude, Jazz! But he was smart enough to insert himself in the title match and bold enough to laugh in the face of Alexis Espinoza! Mark Jacobs has everything to to shock the world tonight and become champion!"

As Mark climbs down, A House That's Not Quite Home (by Junior) starts to play. And the loud boos quickly shift to a HUGE ovation! Out walks Asher Darma...on a horse and wearing a cowboy hat and vest with his usual ring gear. He smiles and waves his hat to the people while Mark sits silently against the corner. He glares at Darma, who gets off the horse and climbs in the ring. He waves to the people once more, receiving more cheers.

Jay: "Look at this nonsense, Jazz. Appealing to the lowest common denominators!"

Jazz: "Asher Darma is embracing his inner Texan here in the Lone Star State! He's ready for a showdown for the Heavyweight Championship here tonight! He's fought through a grueling tournament, beat Jacobs in his own game in the finals, and is one win away from realizing his dream and the dreams of the people!"

The crowd still cheers for Asher after his song stops. A few seconds later, Never Again (by Breaking Benjamin) starts to play. The crowd goes quiet for a bit until Will Ralston walks out about 15 seconds later. The silence turns into boos as the ICW Heavyweight Champion cracks his neck and walks to the ring, title around his waist and a stone faced expression. He steps between the ropes, removes his title, and raises it at the crowd. Will then turns to raise it right in Mark's face and then at Asher. Mark simply says "I'm taking that title from your dead hands, Will!" And Asher just smiles and wishes Will luck.

Jazz: "Mark is outspoken and disrespectful. Asher is kind and caring. And Will Ralston does not care about anything except remaining champion! Although he wasn't happy with this becoming a Triple Threat, Will feels the end result will still be him leaving with the title!"

Jay: "Will is doing what all champions should do: he's tuning out the noise & the distractions. And he is willing to go so far just to keep the title!"

"Introducing first, from Brooklyn, New York, standing 6ft tall & weighing in at 215 lbs: 'The Bane of Existence' MARK JACOBS!"

The crowd boos as Mark does the Baneful Throat Slit, pointing at Asher & Will.

"Introducing his opponent, from Paujari, India, standing 6'2" & weighing in at 215 lbs: 'The Slumdog' ASHER DARMA!"

The crowd cheers as Asher waves to the crowd once more!

"Introducing their opponent, from Glasgow, Scotland, standing 6'2" & weighing 210 lbs, he is the ICW Heavyweight Champion: 'The Avenger' WILL RALSTON!"

The cheers turn back to boos while Will shows off the title. Will hands it to the ref, who holds it up. And suddenly, Mark runs over, snatches the title, and SMASHES Darma right in the face with it!

Jazz: "MY WORD! A CHEAP SHOT BY MARK TO ASHER!"

Jay: "HE JUST KNOCKED THE HELL OUT OF ASHER!"

Asher was knocked out COLD from the ring! And there were MASSIVE boos from the crowd directed at Mark! And "The Bane of Existence" took it all in with a sinister smile until Will runs up and attacks him from behind! The bell finally rings as Will starts beating Mark against the corner. Mark tries to fight back, but Will knees him hard in the stomach! Mark leans against the ropes as the Heavyweight Champion continues to attack him. And the crowd simply booed both guys out of the building! Will grabs Mark and heaves him over the ropes to the floor. He glances at the crowd for a split second then looks back down at Mark. Ralston runs the ropes and connects with a Tope Con Hilo! Will was the only man standing, and the crowd HATED it! Will simply ignores the reactions and grabs Mark's head. Will SLAMS Mark's head off the announce table repeatedly! But he soon stops when he sees Asher slowly getting up. Will tosses Mark aside and grabs Asher….and sends him crashing HARD into the barricade! Ralston then grabs Asher and SMASHES him head first into the ring post, sending him swinging and crashing hard on the floor!

Jazz: "This match is getting heated between Ralston & Jacobs, and poor Asher hasn't been able to recover since the title shot to the head!"

Jay: "Neither of them are showing any mercy to each other AND to Darma! But don't look now, Jazz! Cause Will is clearing off our table!"

As Ralston clears off the announce table, the boos continue to rain down from the crowd! And Will once again looks at everyone...and chooses to ignore them. But as he approaches Mark, Mark grabs Will by his neck and throws him into the crowd! Mark, still stumbling, approaches a beaten Asher and picks him up. Mark hooks his arms and hits Asher with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex! Darma clutches his back in clear agony. Mark gets up and lifts Asher with both hands around his neck. He then steps forward and hurls him over the announce table, almost hitting Jay!

Jay: "OH SHIT!" He yells before ducking away.

Mark shoves Jay aside and grabs his chair. He then throws it on top of Darma! He then grabs Jazz's chair and does the same thing again! Darma's now buried underneath everything as Mark stands on top of the table! He spread his arms out at the fans, and the fans responded with nuclear heat! Suddenly, Will SPRINTS from the crowd and Shotgun Dropkicks Mark off the table & into the barricades!

Jazz: "MY HEAVENS! Will just BLAST Mark off the table! And Mark landed HARD against the barricade!"

Will rolls off the table and drags Mark by his hair. He dumps him back in the ring then ascends to the top rope. Mark weakley gets back up just as the champion hits a Missile Dropkick! And Jacobs went flying backwards again! Will picks him back up, hooks his arm, and hits a Snap Brainbuster! Ralston makes the cover!

1!

KICKOUT!

Jazz: "A kickout from Mark, but Will is still firmly in control."

Jay: "Look at these blows to the head! I've never seen Will this aggressive in a long time!"

Will mounts Jacobs and forearms him on the side of his head! Mark tries to cover up, so Will grabs his arms and stomps his head repeatedly! The crowd chants Asher's name, hoping he would get back in the match. The champion remains stone faced as he drags Mark to a corner. Will pushes him against it and kicks him across his chest. He kicks Mark again and again, turning his chest red. But Mark grabs Will's leg, lifts him up, and hits a Running Powerbomb! Now Mark goes and stomps down on Will's head as the crowd continues to boo! Mark was too pissed to pay any attention as he rolled out the ring. He looks underneath and grabs a chair. But as he goes to roll back in, he sees Asher crawling out of the rubble. So, Mark instead takes the chair and SMASHES it over Asher's back! He just assaults Asher with the chair over and over again before throwing it back in the ring! Mark then rolls Asher on top of the announce table then climbs up. He lifts Asher...and hits him with a Piledriver on the table!

Jazz: "GOOD GOD! Mark just DRILLED Asher's head off the table!"

Jay: "Darma has to be knocked out cold! He's barely even moving!"

Asher just lays there unconscious! And the crowd keeps on booing Mark, who simply spreads out his arms and smirks! As Mark slides back in the ring, he's suddenly hit with the Hesitation Dropkick by Will! The Heavyweight Champion sees the chair Mark tossed, grabs it, and SMASHES it over Mark repeatedly! Will tosses the chair aside, mounts Jacobs, and forearms him in the back of the head! The referee tries to pull Will away, but he shoves him aside and kicks Mark across his chest! Ralston then climbs to the top rope and waits for Mark to stand. However, just as Mark starts to crawl...he glances over at Asher laid across the table. Will looks at Mark and stands up straight. The crowd looks on as Will...turns to face Asher and hits the Diving Double Foot Stomp to Darma on the table!

Jazz: "JESUS CHRIST! A Diving Foot Stomp just SHATTERED poor Darma!"

Jay: "If the Piledriver didn't take him out, then this most certainly did!"

The crowd was shocked at the stunt Will pulled! And they let him know with loud boos! Asher clutches his ribs and rolls to the floor. He starts coughing up blood as Ralston looks on with a cold, emotionless glare. He rolls back in just as Jacobs pulls himself back up. Will grabs him by the hair...and kicks him below the belt! Mark collapses to his knees, but Will keeps him up. He then hooks Mark's arms behind him...and stomps his head directly on the chair! Will just rolls him over and makes the cover!

...KICKOUT!

Jazz: "Will just tried to crack Mark's skull open! And Mark STILL kicked out!"

Jay: "No normal man would've been able to survive that! But Mark is 'The Bane of Existence' and he is making Will question his existence as champion!"

Ralston sits there, contemplating how Jacobs kicked out. Will stood up and rubs his face in frustration. He then grabs Mark's arms and stomps on his head repeatedly again! After a few brutal stomps, Will bends his arm and applies the Anaconda Vice! And the crowd keeps booing Ralston, growing louder and louder! Mark tried to find a way to escape, but the Vice made him grow weaker and weaker. His arms fell back down as he laid motionless. The referee raises Mark's arm...and it falls. He raises it a second time...and it falls. He raises the arm a third time...and a bloodied mouth Asher runs in and weakly breaks it up!

Jazz: "Asher's back in! At the last possible second, Asher broke up the submission!"

Jay: "How!? How the heck is this guy still moving!?"

Jazz: "By the will of the people, Jay!"

The crowd went NUTS! They LOVED the fact Asher stopped Will from winning! But Will was PISSED! He grabs the chair, walks over to Asher and SMASHES him with the chair. He then turns and WHACKS it over Jacobs as well! Will just goes back & forth with bashing the chair over his two opponents! The crowd just keeps booing Will as he destroys Asher & Mark. Ralston drops the chair then grabs Darma and throws him out of the ring. Will rolls out then drags Asher to the end of the ramp. He hooks his arm, lifts him up, and hits the Brainbuster! Will looks down at Asher lying unconscious! Everyone soon chants "Bullshit" at Will. Ralston looks at the crowd...and turns away from them. He slides back in the ring and grabs Mark by his hair only to get hit with a Low Blow from "The Bane of Existence!" Will collapses as Mark hooks his arm and hits the Deadlift Vertical Suplex Throw! Mark sends Will flying across the ring and rolling to the floor. As Will crawls back up, Mark runs the ropes and hits an Assisted Tope Con Hilo on Will! Mark stumbles to his feet and lifts Will back up. He rolls Will back in the ring and waits for him to get back up. Will crawls to his knees and Mark goes for his Running Comatose (Ciampa style Running Knee). But Will moves out of the way and applies the Rear Naked Choke! Mark fails around, trying to break free, but Will has it on tight! But as he & Mark turns around...Asher leaps off the top rope and hits them both with the Diving Crossbody!

Jazz: "Asher goes flying and wipes them both out with a Crossbody! The crowd is desperately rallying for Darma!"

Jay: "This is next level! Darma is too stubborn to know when his body is too broken to move!"

The crowd began to cheer loudly for Darma! Asher weakly pulls himself up as Mark and Will stumble around the ring. Asher hits a Rolling Elbow on Will to a loud pop! He then hits a Rolling Elbow to Mark to an even louder pop! Another Rolling Elbow to Will! Another one to Mark! Asher hits both guys repeatedly to louder cheers! Will was finally knocked to a corner! Mark runs at Darma only to be caught with an Exploder Suplex into Will in the corner! Both men slumps down in the corner as "The Slumdog" drags himself with the ropes to the other side of the ring. Clutching his ribs, Asher slowly climbs up to the top rope. He stands up tall, takes a deep breath, and hits the Coast to Coast onto both men! Will slumps over to the apron as Asher lifts Mark! The crowd chants for Darma as he goes for Predetermined Destiny (Standing Somersault Reverse DDT)! But Mark pushes him off and hits a Jumping Comatose! Asher collapses to a knee as Mark grabs his wrists. He pulls him into another Comatose but Asher counters with a Canadian Destroyer...except Mark holds him by the legs! Mark walks around the ring holding Asher...but Will catches him with the Shotgun Dropkick! Mark was then sent flying into a Canadian Destroyer by Asher! Darma crawls over and makes the cover on Mark!

BREAKUP!

Will breaks the pin with the Double Leg Stomp on both guys!

Jazz: "Will might've just saved his title reign at the last second!"

Jay: "Ralston ain't gonna sit around and let either man take what he's worked hard to keep!"

Darma sits up, holding his crushed ribs, and Ralston runs & hits the Penalty Kick! The crowd returns to booing as Will hits Mark with a PK as well! Ralston paces around both guys as his stoic expression builds to rage. He grabs Asher by his head, lifts him up, and Forearms him HARD in the face! The sound of the forearm was heard throughout the arena, and Will forearms him again! He forearms him repeatedly until Asher couldn't stand straight! Will holds him up by the head, looking down at Darma, and attempts the Stunner! But Darma pushes him away and attempts Predetermined Destiny! Will holds him up to try and block the move! Mark finally crawls to his feet, but he turns to see Will push Asher in the air. And Asher is sent flying into a Predetermined Destiny onto Jacobs!

Jazz: "OH! MY! HEAVENS! A POP UP PREDETERMINED DESTINY!"

Jay: "MARK IS OUT LIKE A LIGHT!"

The crowd pops HUGE for Darma as Mark falls out of the ring! But the cheers don't last because Will grabs Asher and hits the Stunner! Asher is laid out, but Ralston doesn't go for the pin! Instead, he lifts up Asher, hooks his arm, and connects with the 1916 on his head! But again, Will doesn't go for the cover! He instead lifts Asher up, spins him around, and goes for the Reverse 1916! He lifts him into the air… PREDETERMINED DESTINY BY DARMA!

Jazz: "PREDETERMINED DESTINY! ASHER GOT HIM!"

Jay: "WILL'S TITLE REIGN IS IN TROUBLE!"

The crowd was in a frenzy! The arena shook with chants for Darma! Asher drags his body to a corner, and makes his way up top! Will was laid out cold in the center of the ring! Asher mustered up all of his strength and stood up top. He looks around the arena, looks at Will, leaps off… and he hits the Shoot for the Stars (Double rotation Shooting Star Press) on Will! The crowd went INSANE!

And Mark runs in and BLAST Darma with the Running Deep Coma!

Jay: "DEEP COMA! MARK JUST KNOCKED HIS HEAD RIGHT OF HIS SHOULDERS!"

Jazz: "NO WAY THIS IS HAPPENING!"

Asher is knocked out cold! The crowd screams to not let this happen! Mark grabs Will...he hooks the arms...Baneful Ways (Lifting double underhook DDT spun into a reverse DDT)! Mark hooks both legs!

"Here is your winner….and the NEW ICW Heavyweight Champion: 'The Bane of Existence' MARK JACOBS!"

Jay: "NEW CHAMPION! NEW CHAMPION! MARK JACOBS HAS DONE IT! MARK JACOBS IS THE ICW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!"

Jazz: "No way….Mark did it. He really has done it!"

Everyone goes silent! The crowd stands up, eyes wide in shock! Mark gets up and starts cheering for himself! The referee goes to present him the Heavyweight Championship, but Mark grabs the title and pushes him aside! He climbs up and holds it up in front of everyone! At that moment, it sunk in that Mark is the Heavyweight Champion….and the boos were DEAFENING! Mark just screamed out "I TOLD YOU SO" as pyro went off above him! "I'M THE MAN, HERE! I'M THE BEST! NO ONE CAN TOUCH ME!" He screams to loud boos.

Jay: "Take it in, Jazz! We have a new Heavyweight Champion in Mark Jacobs! The Baneful Era has begun in ICW!"

Jazz: "I don't even know what to say! This is indeed a monumental win for Jacobs! But no one expected this to happen!"

Jay: "This is the dawn of a new age, Jazz! Nothing is off limits, and nothing will ever be the same!"

Jazz: "We'll have to wait & see what happens next with Mark Jacobs as our Heavyweight Champion! But for tonight, up next is our main event match for Night 1: DJ Kingston one-on-one against Jason Sabre! 'The Astonishing One' versus 'The Ace of Pro Wrestling!'

The screen opens to Marvelous Tate Williams and Elijah Holiday backstage.

Elijah: "You know, we tried to be civil. We tried to be gentlemen about this. We tried to keep this professional. Yet that THING you people call Azriel insists on trying to physically harm The Immortal Marvelous One more than he already has! So you know what, Azriel! It's on now!"

Tate: "It doesn't matter how big or bad you are. I don't care about the people you've broken or the throne you sit on. Because I have something you NEVER can achieve: The Immortal Briefcase!" He holds it up. "This right here proves that I am better than you!"

Elijah: "And on Night 2, Tate Williams is gonna prove it. Because I guarantee you that Azriel will regret ever targeting The Immortal Marvelous One! And once we're through with him, then it's onto more...important things."

Tate chuckles and motions to his waist while Elijah just smirks as the screen goes black.

The screen cuts to a serious Jesus Garza alone at an undisclosed location.

Garza: "I wish I can talk to y'all and be chill & happy. But I ain't. None of La Rebelion is happy after what happened to Alexis. So imma keep it short and deliver a message to some eses. First to the people, Alexis is all good. She'll be back and there will be hell to pay when she does. To the Lords of Wrestling...I'll admit, me & mi hermanos been getting too relaxed messin with y'all. We ain't in a good mood right now and we know y'all is comin' to fight. Night 2? That's y'all ass. And as for you Carson? I want you to hug your papi real tight and tell him you love him. Because after what you did, Sofia's gonna make sure the last time he sees you will be in a bodybag! La Rebelion is comin' to set shit straight. Get ready."

Jesus walks out of the camera shot as the screen goes black. A video package starts to play.

Battlefield: Season 2 Episode 23

"JA-SON SA-BRE!"

"JA-SON SA-BRE!"

"JA-SON SA-BRE!"

A home video camera shot showed Caesar, Dylan, and DJ beating down Freddy & Detrick in the ring. It then cuts to the back of Jason Sabre in a leather jacket walking in the back entrance and everyone's eyes backstage going wide.

"JA-SON SA-BRE!"

"JA-SON SA-BRE!"

"JA-SON SA-BRE!"

Sabre walked into the video truck and handed a guy a disc. "You're gonna need that." He says as he heads to Gorilla. Once he makes it to Trell, Sabre gives him a smile & handshake before telling him: "Tell them to play it." Trell gives the signal...and the arena lights go dark.

Jason Sabre: "That moment, me walking out for the first time….that was the moment ICW changed forever."

It then cuts to the crowd LOSING THEIR MINDS as Sabre makes his ICW entrance for the first time ever. He beats down the three members of Monarchy and helps up Freddy & Detrick.

Sabre: "And honestly why wouldn't it be? That was the moment ICW's been waiting on since they opened their doors. And what better way to make my debut than by beating the crap out of Monarchy on their biggest stage?"

The screen shows highlights of the Monarchy VS Legends of New School match at Immortality 2. It showed slow motion replays of all three members hitting triple Frog Splashes and celebrating their win.

Sabre: "I don't like to beat around the bush, so I told everyone what my intentions were: I wanted to help grow ICW to a level they never dreamed of. And I was gonna do it by being 'The Ace.'"

"JA-SON SA-BRE!"

"JA-SON SA-BRE!"

"JA-SON SA-BRE!"

DJ Kingston: "JaSoN SaBrE! JaSoN SaBrE! JaSoN SaBrE!" He mocks. "The worst thing to ever happen to me was ever meeting Jason Sabre!"

Sabre: "DJ Kingston has always been jealous of me. Ever since I first met the guy, he's had this ego about himself that he'd be the breakout star of Monarchy.

The screen shows clips and photos of DJ Kingston teaming with Freddy & Caesar along with winning tag titles with longtime teammate Dylan. It then showed an original Monarchy photo...with DJ Kingston the furthest away.

DJ: "Everytime...EVERYTIME...I get ready to take the spotlight, here comes Jason Sabre to steal all of the glory! It doesn't matter where we are, he's always treated like this larger-than-life superstar and I'm left in his shadow!"

"For YEARS I have been working my ass off to get where I am today." DJ says to Sabre in the ring. "But everywhere I turn, there you are ruining all of my work! I was the one who was destined to be the breakout star! I was the one who everyone pinged as the future of the WFA! Everything you have now should belong to me, not you!" Jason stays calm then says "That's your problem."

Jason: "All I've been hearing from DJ is excuse after excuse all pointed at me. 'I took his potential main event push. I took his spotlight. I took this and that.' Not once did he try to stop me. He just sat back and let it be."

"What have you done to stand out?" Jason says to DJ. "Name me one thing that these people can identify about you, not Monarchy, ONLY you, that's worth giving a damn about! 'Gee, I don't know Sabre.' Exactly. Because there's nothing to you that's worth giving a damn about! The only thing that you HAD going for you...was Nattie."

Jason: "To DJ, the biggest crime I've ever committed was 'taking' Natalia away from him. In his eyes, that encapsulates every bad thing he says about me. But she chose to stay by me. And guess what? He let it happen."

DJ: "Natalia...he...they…" He takes a deep breath & stays quiet for a long time. "I brought Natalia into Monarchy to help her reach her true potential. And Sabre….that jackass...who the hell does he think he is trying to undermine everything I've been doing!?"

Jason: "DJ wants to be a 'Jason Sabre' but he struggles to be a 'Freddy Escobar.' He blamed me for his lack of success when he should be looking in the mirror. Cause that's the guy that controls where he ends up. So yeah, I called him out. I challenged him, just to see if he has what it takes to finally break out."

"That's not how life works, DJ." He says in front of DJ's face. "You don't get to give the bare minimum and expect a gold medal given to you. You want to prove you're a big deal? Earn it like a man."

DJ: "New Horizon….I'll show EVERYONE where I'm supposed to be: at the top of the mountain! And finally, I will prove that "The Astonishing One" is better than "The Ace of Pro Wrestling!" He gets up and kicks the chair as he leaves.

Jason: "I've been in matches like these before, where guys wanna call me out of my name. But this one is different, because this one's been a long time coming. New Horizon, I will give DJ the best version of myself so that there's no excuses anymore. And at the end of the night, DJ Kingston won't have anyone to blame for his failures...except for himself."

The scene ends with Jason & DJ staring down. The screen cuts back to the arena.

Ghetto Symphony (by A$AP Rocky) starts to play. The crowd stays silent until DJ Kingston walks out. Then the silence turns into loud boos! DJ has on black tights with green and yellow accents, black wrist tape & gloves, black knee pads, white boots, and a hooded black sleeveless leather jacket with silver accents & his logo on the back. A laser focused DJ makes his way to the ring alone. He leaps onto the apron, springboards into the ring, and lands in a kneeling position in the middle of the ring. DJ removes his hood as he listens to the "Jason Sabre" chants starting up.

The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, representing Monarchy, from Honolulu, Hawaii, standing 5'11 & weighing 205 lbs: 'The Astonishing One' D! J! KINNNGSTOOOOON!"

Jazz: "You talk about high stakes, this is easily the most important match in the career of DJ Kingston. He's been a highly successful tag team wrestler, but this is chance to finally live up to the expectations everyone has placed on him. And by the way? It's against Jason Sabre of all people."

Jay: "Look at him, Jazz! DJ looks ready! He is focused! He is confident! He looks jacked! He is ready to finally prove that he's not only a star, but a bigger one than Sabre!"

As the song dies down, the "JA-SON SA-BRE" chants grew louder & louder. DJ stands up and surveys the crowd. He listens to the constant chanting while waiting for the man himself to show. Finally, after thirty seconds of waiting, Weight of My Pride (by Pay Money to My Pain) starts to play! And the crowd goes NUTS! The beginning instrumentals kick in as the lights change to red & silver. As the song nears the lyrics, smoke shoots up from the sides of the stage, and from the smoke, appears a masked Jason Sabre with his Misawa-styled tights & boots and Tanahashi-style jacket. The crowd are on their feet cheering for the legend himself! He takes a moment to soak up the beloved reception and survey the crowd. He walks down the ramp while occasionally slapping hands as the lights are dimmed and the spotlight follows him. Jason then jumps onto the ring apron and climbs to the top turnbuckle, looking around at the people. Jason removes his mask to reveal his face painted in half with one side silver and the other side red. He 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.

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

Jazz: "Jason Sabre...what more can be said about him?! He's been in these high pressure matches so many times, and he's THRIVED in them! Every time he steps in that ring, he creates something special! There's a reason he's known as 'The Ace of Pro Wrestling-'"

Jay: "Yes, yes, we've heard this all before, Jazz! Sabre is great and all, but we've seen everything he can do! We've never seen DJ at his very best! That uncertainty can help DJ do what no one ever thought he could do: defeat Jason Sabre!"

Even as his music faded, the cheers and chanting didn't stop. It only grew louder! Nothing but "JA-SON SA-BRE" chants filled the arena! Sabre smirks and poses on the top rope again! The crowd gave him an even BIGGER pop! DJ, meanwhile, stood in the corner & did not take his eyes off of Sabre. Jason hops down and locks eyes with Kingston finally. Jason simply smirks at DJ before removing his long jacket. DJ removes his own jacket and cracks his neck. With both men ready to go, the referee starts the match! DJ & Jason slowly pace around the ring as the crowd was 100% behind "The Ace!" He points to the crowd as they keep chanting his name, and he tells DJ "This is who the people feel is The Ace! If you still think you're better than me, now is the time to prove it to them!" DJ stays quiet! After a few seconds of pacing, the two slowly approached and locked up in the Collar & Elbow! The two stayed in the center, neither man giving an inch. Until finally, Sabre catches DJ with a basic Arm Drag across the ring! DJ rolls to the ropes as Sabre gets up and poses to the crowd! And the crowd LOVED it! They chant Sabre's name again as "The Ace" turns back to DJ with a smirk. DJ brushes his hair before getting back up. The two pace the ring again, until DJ does the finger gun taunt at Sabre. He watches DJ fire the gun...and catches the bullet between his fingers. Sabre smirks, pulls out his own gun taunt, loads DJ's bullet, and fires it right back at him! The crowd LOVED it while "The Astonishing One" was NOT happy!

Jazz: "Clear mind games by Sabre! And you can tell it's starting to get to DJ."

Jay: "DJ gotta say focus. He can't let his emotions control him for even a SECOND against Sabre!"

DJ & Jason pace each other again while the crowd continues to chant "GO ACE! GO ACE!" They lock up in the Collar & Elbow again. This time, DJ decides to twist the arm and put Jason in the side headlock. Jason pushes him against the ropes and whips DJ across the ring. Sabre attempts the Slingblade early, but DJ ducks it. He grabs Jason's arms and tries to pin him down with the Backslide. But Jason rolls over him, grabs the arm, and almost hits him with the Final Strike (Ripcord Lariat)! But DJ rolls out of the way at the last minute and leans against the ropes. Jason just paces around the ring with a grin and tells Kingston "This close, man. THIS close." DJ takes some deep breaths and calmly gets back up. They two approach and lock up once more. This time, they each try to out muscle one another in a corner. DJ manages to push Jason across the ring, but "The Ace" turns his body and pushes DJ against the ropes. The referee starts to count up to four by the time Sabre breaks clean. The crowd claps for the break as Sabre pats him on the chest. And Kingston responds with a Clothesline attempt. Sabre ducks as DJ runs across the ring. Sabre swings at him, but DJ ducks and goes for a German Suplex. Jason counters with the Snapmare but DJ flips onto his feet. Kingston runs the ropes...and runs right into a Spinning Koppu Kick! DJ was stunned! Jason scoops him up and drops him with the Death Plex (Suplex into a Double Knee Backbreaker)! Jason makes the cover.

...KICKOUT!

Jazz: "A kick out before the two. But that wasn't a deep cover from Jason. He still wants to see more from DJ."

Jay: "He's toying with him, Jazz! Jason is just messing with him, and sooner or later, it's gonna come back to haunt him!"

Jason lifts DJ up and Irish Whips him to a corner. He then runs and hits a Forearm to his face followed by a Knife Edge Chop! Sabre looks at the crowd as they loudly cheer for everything he does! Sabre then tosses DJ out of the corner. Jason leaps to the middle ropes and hits DJ with a Crossbody! As Jason rolls off of him, DJ rolls to the floor to get some distance! But Jason wouldn't let him escape so easily. He rolls out and grabs Kingston. But DJ tricks him and shoves Jason into the ring post! With Jason stunned, DJ runs around the ring! He dives through the ring post and hits Jason with the Tornado DDT! Jason crashes in his head and falls over, and Kingston sits up with a smile on his face. He grabs "The Ace" and starts slamming him all over ringside! Jason is sent bouncing off the barricades as the crowd boos DJ! DJ just grabs Jason and throws him back in the ring. He climbs on the apron and waits for him to get up. And when Sabre starts to get up, DJ leaps over the ropes and hits a Springboard into a Pele Kick! DJ makes the cover.

1!

….

2! KICKOUT!

Jazz: "DJ is showing some innovative offense against Sabre. But it only earned him a two-count."

Jay: "DJ needs to stay focused. He has Sabre on the defensive, so he needs to keep up the attack!"

DJ did not like Jason kicking out. He picks him up and Forearms Sabre in the face! And Jason responded with a right hook! DJ stumbles back, but he still throws a punch. And "The Ace of Pro Wrestling" blocks it before delivering another punch! DJ stumbles against the ropes again as Sabre jabs his gut and chops his chest! He then sprints across the ring, but DJ runs and hits the Handspring which knocks Jason out to the apron. Jason gets up just as Kingston slingshots himself over the ropes, and he gets hit with the Cutter on the apron! "The Ace" collapses to the floor and lays there prone! DJ stands up on the apron and looks down at Jason. He then leaps off the apron and hits a Corkscrew Moonsault right on Sabre to the floor! The crowd groaned loudly as both guys held their stomachs in pain! DJ gets to his feet first and barely rolls Jason in the ring. He climbs back on the apron and takes a deep breath! "The Astonishing One" then hits Sabre with the Springboard 450 Splash and quickly covers!

….KICKOUT!

Jazz: "DJ trying desperately to keep Sabre down for the three-count to no avail. You can see the desperation setting in!"

Jay: "DJ needs to do whatever he can to keep Sabre down!"

DJ is frustrated that Sabre keeps kicking out. So Kingston gets up and steps out on the apron. Jason gets to his feet, and DJ wipes him out with the Springboard European Uppercut! Jason lays prone yet his opponent doesn't cover. Instead, he gets up and stands over Jason's head. "The Astonishing One" lets out a smile and slowly spreads his arms out to his side. Everyone IMMEDIATELY starts booing when they realize DJ is about to attempt his Astonishing Moonsault (People's Elbow, but instead of an elbow, he does a Moonsault)! DJ whips his arms and runs across the ring! He leaps over Jason and attempts to Springboard into the Moonsault, but Jason rolls out of the way! DJ crashes down on the canvas to a pop! And when he crawls back up, Jason quickly rises and hits the Sling Blade! The crowd starts to chant "GO ACE!" as Sabre grabs DJ's hair! The playful smile now erased from "The Ace's" face. He picks up DJ and knee lifts into his chest! Jason hits multiple stiff knees before shoot kicking him across the chest, knocking DJ down!

Kingston tries to get up, but Jason kicks him back down! DJ sits up, and Sabre kicks him down again! Everything DJ tries to sit up, Jason hits a stiff kick across his chest and knocks him over! DJ finally had enough of Sabre kicking. So he gets up and charges at him...and he runs right into a stiff knee across his chest! Before DJ could collapse, Sabre hooks his arm and lifts him Vertically. But instead of a Suplex, Jason just SLAMS him down on his face and stomach! Jason stands in the corner, waiting for DJ to get back up, and the crowd stands in anticipation for Sabre's signature Final Resolution (Kinshasa)! Sabre does his gun taunt at Kingston as he stands, and runs at him! But DJ moves and sends Jason crashing into the corner! Jason stumbles backwards RIGHT into a Poison Rana by DJ! Jason crashes and rolls to his knees, and DJ hits a Superkick! He hits another Superkick, an Enziguri, and lifts up "The Ace" before dropping him into the pinning Crownkiller (Storm Cradle Driver)!

KICKOUT!

Jason SHOT his arm up to a HUGE reaction!

Jazz: "NEARLY a 3-count! DJ ALMOST had him with the Crownkiller! But Jason JUST gets his arms up just in time!"

Jay: "Stay on him, Kingston! Don't let him catch his breath!"

"THIS IS AWESOME!" Chants rain down from the fans watching this match! And a stunned DJ sits there in disbelief over the kickout! DJ gets up and makes his way to the top rope. With Sabre laying prone, DJ ascends to the top rope and stands up straight! He looks up at the lights and performs a flawless Shooting Star Press! And he lands INTO THE TRIANGLE CHOKE BY JASON! Sabre had suckered him in and DJ was caught into the submission! And the crowd went INSANE! And just when DJ tries to break free, Jason rolls him on his stomach, traps his arm, and puts him in the Final Breath (Crossface)! The crowd LOSES their minds! DJ is going crazy trying to break free! He SCREAMS in pain as Sabre pulls back deeper on the hold! DJ's screams start to die down and his eyes start to flutter! His body begins to go limp! And that's when Dylan Torres runs out and climbs on the apron! The cheers quickly turn to boos as Dylan distracts the referee! At the same time, King Caesar runs out, grabs DJ's leg, and pulls him out of the ring!

Jazz: "Look at this nonsense here! Dylan & Caesar saving the match for DJ and outnumbering Sabre!"

Jay: "They are only investing their time to assist their ally before he passes out!"

Jason looks crossed that DJ's pals were getting involved! So he gets up and attempts a Slingshot Crossbody on Caesar! But Caesar easily catches him! He runs him near a ring post, but Sabre fights himself free! He lands behind Caesar and Dropkicks him into the ring post! Caesar goes down to a knee, and Jason SMASHES his face in with the Final Resolution! And the crowd pops HARD! Dylan hops down off the apron and rushes at Sabre! But "The Ace" sees him coming. He ducks behind Dylan, grabs his arm, and FLOORS him with the Final Strike (Ripcord Lariat)! Everyone rejoices by chanting "GO ACE!" Sabre looks around to see if they're knocked out! He turns around, and DJ FLIES from the top rope and hits a Senton Bomb directly onto Sabre! The crowd gasps at the risky maneuver! And it wipes out "The Ace!" DJ grabs him and rolls him back in the ring! He gets on the apron, stalking his opponent like a predator! Jason barely gets up when DJ rolls from the apron and DROPS him with the Dark Fantasy (Rolling Thunder transitioned into a Sitout Facebuster) on his head! Everyone starts to boo! DJ rolls him over and makes the cover!

Jazz: "NO! JASON SABRE IS STILL ALIVE! AND DJ IS SHOCKED!"

Jay: "THERE'S NO WAY HE KICKED OUT BEFORE THREE! DJ HAD HIM OUT COLD!"

Jazz: "THIS AIN'T NO FANTASY, JAY! JASON SABRE IS STILL IN THE FIGHT!"

The crowd goes INSANE! Fans are on their feet! And DJ sits there in a daze. "THIS IS AWESOME!" screams the fans. Kingston finally snaps out of it and picks up Jason. He holds him by the head… and Forearms him in the jaw! Jason steps back before responding with a stiffer forearm of his own! DJ stumbles before grabbing his head and Forearming him again! And the crowd boos! Jason stumbles a bit as well! But he pulls back and Forearms him HARD in the jaw to cheers! And before everyone knew it, those two were rapidly trading forearm shots! DJ & Jason went back & forth in hitting each other for nearly a minute, and the fans only grew louder and louder! Until finally, Jason ducks a Forearm and SMACKS DJ across the face! DJ stumbles far back, but when Sabre approaches, he leaps up and connects on a Roundhouse Kick to the head! Sabre stumbles 180° and hits a Pele Kick to Kingston! DJ collapses against the ropes. Jason gets up and irish whips DJ, but DJ counters and sends Sabre running. "The Ace" goes for the Slingblade, but DJ ducks behind and plants him with a Snap Dragon Suplex! With Jason bent forward, Kingston saw his chance for his signature Millennium Crash (Blake Christian's Handspring DDT)! DJ goes for the Handspring, bounces back, and leaps RIGHT INTO THE GREATEST DROPKICK EVER!

DJ crashed down HARD, but "The Ace" wasn't done! He scoops up DJ and DROPS him on his head with the rare Hallow Point (Sitout Tombstone Piledriver)! He looks towards the fans, who all screamed his name! Jason's about to climb, but Dylan gets back on the apron! So Jason turns and Superkicks him right into Caesar! But neither man went down! So Sabre climbs up top, turns at them, and hits the Final Hour (High Fly Flow) onto both guys! The crowd is going insane! Sabre climbs on the apron and heads back up! He stands up straight, looks down on a prone DJ, and he HITS THE FINAL HOUR! The crowd jumps up! Sabre makes the cover! Everyone counts!

thre-KICKOUT!

Jazz: "HE KICKED OUT! DJ KINGSTON JUST KICKED OUT OF THE FINAL HOUR!"

Jay: "AND NOT EVEN SABRE CAN'T BELIEVE THAT DIDN'T WORK!

EVERYONE goes crazy! No one could believe DJ Kingston kicked out! Even Sabre was surprised at this! "I-C-W" chants echoed around the Toyota Center! Jason crawls over and waits in the corner! He keeps his eyes laser focused on DJ! Kingston slowly starts to get up while coughing. Jason raises his arms and does the hand gun taunt at DJ. "You're not in my shadow anymore, but I'll always be better than you." He whispers. Jason fires the guns, goes for the Final Resolution, and DJ HITS THE KINGSTON'S PARADISE (Running Blockbuster)! Everyone watches in shock & awe! DJ reaches out at Sabre who rolls and falls to the floor! DJ lets out a loud, miserable groan when he could not reach Sabre! So he rolls out and grabs Jason. Exhausted, he could barely drag him on the apron and slide him back in the ring. Jason rolls to the center and lays there. DJ climbs on the apron, shaking the ropes in anticipation! He Springboards into the 450- FINAL BLOW (RKO) FROM NOWHERE! SABRE LEAPS UP AND HITS DJ WITH A MIDAIR FINAL BLOW!

Jazz: "OH MY HEAVENS WHAT A MOVE!"

Jay: "THAT WAS INSANE! AND NOW BOTH GUYS ARE DOWN!"

Jazz: "THIS IS STILL ANYONE'S MATCH TO WIN!"

Both men are down! Caesar & Dylan are still down! The crowd is going crazy! There were dual "THIS IS AWESOME/I-C-W" chants for both guys! But then the crowd suddenly loses their breaths...because out walks a stoic Natalia Rodriguez! She makes her way down the ring just as Jason & DJ were beginning to move. Natalia walks up the stairs and stands on the apron, looking at both guys in the ring. DJ & Jason look over and finally notice her there. Everyone watched to see what Natalia was going to do! Jason slowly gets up and approaches Natalia while DJ sits in the ring asking what she is planning! Everyone goes quiet. Natalia looks at Jason. Natalia looks at DJ. She takes a deep breath….sighs….grabs Jason and KISSES HIM!

Jazz: "OH! OH MY!"

Jay: "HOLY SHIT!"

EVERYONE LOSES IT! DJ looks on in shock & horror! Even Jason was taken aback! But Natalia continues to give him a long, wet, passionate kiss! Finally, Natalia breaks the kiss, climbs down, and walks away without looking back. Jason just stands there, touching his lips and lost in thought. He unknowing turns around….and IS HIT WITH HIS OWN FINAL BLOW! DJ finally saw his chance, and he climbed to the top rope! Without wasting any time, he jumps off and HITS THE HAWAII HANGOVER (Shooting Star Leg Drop)! The crowd is losing their minds! They can't believe what they're witnessing! DJ grabs both legs and covers Jason!

"Here is your winner: D! J! KIIIINGSTOOOON!"

Jazz: "I...Wha-...What just happened!?"

Jay: "I'LL TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED, JAZZ: DJ KINGSTON JUST PINNED JASON SABRE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!"

Jazz: "Did...did Natalia just side with DJ & Monarchy!? Did she choose Jason!? What the hell was that all about!?"

Jay: "The only question that matters is 'Who was the better man?' And DJ just proved himself to be the better man! The Astonishing One just pinned The Ace of Pro Wrestling!"

DJ can't believe it! The crowd can't believe it! No one knew how to react to this! When it dawned on him that he just pinned Sabre, DJ got up and began celebrating! His arm was raised as Dylan & Caesar joined him in the ring! They lifted DJ on their shoulders and paraded him around the ring! All while Jason just laid there out cold.

Jazz: "DJ did it. He actually did the impossible. And it was all thanks to Natalia. What happens with Jason & Nattie? What is next for DJ? What will Sabre do!? There's just so many questions left unanswered!"

Jay: "All we know is that DJ won tonight! No longer is he in Sabre's shadow! Now Kingston is on a whole other level from Sabre! What a match!"

Jazz: "What a match it was! And what a show it's been, ladies & gentlemen! We still have a ton more action coming on Night Two of ICW New Horizon! For now, I have been Jazz Conway with Jay Masters signing off for the night! We'll see you all for New Horizon Night 2!"

….

The screen opens on an empty road outside the city of Houston. The sky is a bright shade of blue, purple, and orange as the sun begins to set. Nyx sits on the hood of her car watching the sunset and the sky slowly grow darker. With her hands holding her personal guitar, Nyx plays a soft tune. As she plays a melody, the sky above her grows darker and darker. Once the sun sets, Nyx takes a deep breath and enters her car. She puts the guitar away and starts the car. The radio came on and started playing Evil Ways (Justice Mix by Blues Saraceno). The lyrics of the song narrates while Nyx drives down the open road. After some time, the sky had turned completely dark except for the moon shining bright above.

As time passes, Nyx enters a forest. She drives down the dark road only illuminated by her headlights and the stars above. After a bit more driving, she slows down and pulls up next to a large, old catholic church. The song fades as she parks on the side and gets out. Nyx takes another look at the Church and sees its glowing dark blue on the inside. "This must be the place." She tells herself. Nyx then opens the car trunk, pulls out a baseball bat, and storms up to the church.

As Nyx barges through the door, the first thing she notices is the lights are an eerie dark blue. It barely illuminated the hallways enough to see the corridors down the hallway that leads into the sanctuary. The second thing she noticed were the strange images and paintings on the walls. They were different paintings, but each one depicts a blue, angelic figure. Nyx makes her way down the halls before reaching the corridor. From the other side, she could hear murmuring and soft chanting.

Nyx takes a deep breath, clutches her bat, and kicks the doors wide open. Inside, she sees two sections separated by a single aisle way. All of the seats were full of cloaked figures with their heads down & murmuring some type of prayer. Nyx cautiously makes her way down the aisle until she stands in front of the altar. There, she sees all of the offerings on display that resembled offerings seen on Day of the Dead. However, all of the gifts and objects resembled the blue angel she saw in the paintings. She looks back at the hooded figures wondering what is going on.

Suddenly, The Truth Beneath the Rose (by Within Temptations) began playing. The chanting suddenly stops as Nyx looks around. Blue smoke began to form around the seats and aisle way. Nyx lifts her bat and prepares herself for something to happen….until, suddenly, blue flames rose from the altar! Once the fire went down, Traci Star was standing on stage wearing a black & dark blue clergy robe and her entire face painted in the form of a dark blue & black sugar skull design. But all Nyx could focus on was the excited & gleeful smile Traci had on her face.

Traci: "Welcome, Nyx Rosewood, to the Church of the Mad Angel! We've all been eagerly awaiting your arrival!"

As soon as Traci said that, all of the hooded figures lifted their heads up, revealing to wear the same designed face paint as Traci.

Nyx: "I don't know what sick game you're trying to play, but I'm done with it. I'm here to end things once & for all."

Traci: "Oh but my dear Nyx, none of this is a game… It is the foundation for how our lives were formed! Everything and everyone here was made in her image! And tonight, everything is ready for The Mad Angel to make her grand entrance and bring chaos & discord back to the motel world!"

Nyx: "NO! I'm done with you! I'm done with this Mad Angel shit! I don't care what twisted scheme you planned, I'm gonna end everything for good!"

Nyx makes a run towards Traci at the altar, but one of the figures tries to stop her. So she takes her back and SMASHES it over his face! Suddenly, there's a bombardment of these cloaked figures getting up and rushing at her! Nyx grips her bat and starts beating everyone that runs up at her! Traci just watches the brawl with a smile on her face. Some try to grab her from behind to stop her. So Nyx kicks one running at her in the face! She then headbutts the one holding her and throws that person into several more groups! Rosewood starts kicking them and sending them crashing into the seats! Nyx then runs and cracks many more in the face, breaking some of their skulls! As more and more continue to fall, Nyx turns around...and gets sprayed in the face by blue & black mist from Traci!

Now blinded, Nyx was blindsided by the rest of the figures still standing! They knock her on the ground and start stomping all over her body! Rosewood is completely helpless! Traci lifts her hand up and motions them to hold Nyx. They do exactly that and lift her by the arms. Traci picks up Nyx's bat, examines it, then BREAKS it across her face! Traci then grabs her and powerbombs her on the altar! Nyx collapses to the floor, barely conscious, as Traci looks over her.

Traci: "Soon you'll understand...what's about to happen is much bigger than your small personal vendetta. You are going to become the sacrifice for our salvation! Because you will give your life to release the Mad Angel!"

Nyx sees the figures surround her as she loses consciousness. The screen then goes black.

Nyx can feel herself moving. She can sense flashes of light moving over her head. She can barely see the same blue angel figure around her. And she can hear Traci saying something...something about an angel.

Traci: "Heaven & Hell abandoned Her...She was too destructive for God & too pure for Satan...In the biblical days...many spoke of Her name. For She represents the middle of good & evil. Peace within Chaos. Harmony in Destruction. The Mad Angel. But God and Satan were jealous over her influence and worshipers rising. So she was banished to nothingness. No heaven, no hell, no earth, but a void of emptiness. Her teachings may have faded overtime, but it will soon witness resurrection. We are Her followers...the Followers of the Mad Angel...and we will make sure She rises again..."

Nyx feels herself moving down...down... And she begins to go black again.

When she wakes up, she finds herself laying on a stone floor. The hooded figures we're standing around in a circle. She groggily looks up and notices she's underground. In front of her is a coffin surrounded by the same offerings from the altar. And she sees Traci in a modified attire resembling The Mad Angel.

Traci: "You cannot fight this, Nyx. This is what must be done! For the benefit of all of life, including heaven and hell!"

As Nyx slowly stands, a wall of blue fire rises from the ground, surrounding the two women and trapping them both. Traci walks over and stares eye-to-eye with Nyx.

Traci: "It's time to face your destiny! You will sacrifice your life to bring Her back! Even if I have to take your life myself!"

Nyx: "...You are seriously fucked up in the head, Traci You've been after me this whole time just to fulfill some sick fantasy you have? I'm going to enjoy stomping your face in."

The two pace each other as the blue flames surround them. Nyx charges at Traci and goes for a punch, but Traci ducks behind her. She then hits a right hook when Nyx turns around. Nyx stumbles as Traci punches her repeatedly, but Nyx blocks a few and knees her in the stomach. She then gives a one-two punch and kicks Traci to the ground. Traci rolls back and almost touches the flames. Nyx grabs her and goes to beat her down, but Traci kicks Nyx in the face, knocking her back. Nyx stumbles as Traci then hits a Roundhouse Kick to the abdomen. Nyx falls to a knee, and Traci hits the Basement Dropkick that knocks her down hard. Nyx almost lands in the flames herself. Traci drags her up and tries to Powerbomb. But Nyx punches her face to let go. Nyx lands in front of her and Heabutts Traci hard. Traci stumbles, grabbing her face as blood drips from her broken nose! She looks up and gets hit with a Nemesis Blade (Sweet Chin Music) by Nyx! This knocks Traci out cold!

Nyx quickly stumbles over to the casket and opens it. She then drags Traci by her arm and places her inside. But before she could close it, Traci shoots up and BITES NYX'S FACE! Nyx lets out a blood curdling scream before breaking free! She soon feels blood dripping from her now open wound and covering her face! Traci gets out and drops Nyx with a Somersault Senton, knocking the wind out of her! Traci mounts Nyx and punches her repeatedly. Nyx tries blocking them all before punching Traci back! But Traci grabs her arm and applies her signature Cross Arm Breaker! Nyx struggles to escape as she can feel her arms starting to break! Finally, she rolls over and lifts up Traci! She carries her and runs over to SLAM her against the casket! Traci let's go and crashed down HARD! Nyx, completely exhausted, grabs her arm and tries to catch her breath. She goes to grab Traci and put her back in the coffin, but Traci turns and SMASHES Nyx in the head with a blue skull resembling The Mad Angel! Nyx falls out HARD as Traci slowly stands over her!

Traci: "Take these final moments in, Nyx Rosewood. Thanks to you, The Mad Angel will RISE! AND I WILL BECOME ITS VESSEL!"

Traci drags a helpless Nyx...and she Powerbombs her inside the casket! Nyx, barely conscious, could do nothing but stare at Traci's mangled and twisted face...before being closed in complete darkness! Traci closed the casket shut as the blue flames began to engulf it and the memento around it! Traci could do nothing but fall to her knees and laugh at the sight in front of her!

…...

…...

…..

But unknown to anyone, Nyx wakes up. Takes a deep breath and realizes she's no longer hurt. Confused, she looks around to find herself in a dark blue empty void.

?: "Hello, Nyx Rosewood."

The soft voice startles Nyx. She looks around and sees nothing. But when she looks up...she is shocked at the sight of a face looking down at her.

Nyx: "What….what are-"

?: "...You know who I am."

Nyx: She goes silent. "You're...The Mad Angel…"

The Mad Angel: "Yes. That is one of many names I have been called. What you are seeing is one of my many forms."

In disbelief, Nyx loses her balance and falls back.

Nyx: "This is….am I...dead?"

The Mad Angel: "No...not yet, at least. It depends on what you decide to do."

Nyx: "What are you talking about!? What even is this!? What are you!?"

The Mad Angel: "I am the belief that there is more besides Good & Evil. I am the idea that chaos brings peace. I was shunned by Heaven & Hell, doomed to be trapped in an endless abyss for all of eternity. That is… until I was summoned. I was summoned to be put in a vessel that would connect me to the mortal and spiritual worlds. You, Nyx, are my vessel. However, you were not the chosen vessel."

Nyx: "I wasn't….no- no way...not her…"

The Mad Angel: "Yes. Traci Star was bred to harness me. Her zealous Catholic parents realized this as well, hence why she was shunned by them. She soon ran away to my followers...followers of The Mad Angel…. who knew her chosen path. They welcomed her, trained her to become the one to harness Me… even until their own murder by religious cartel rivals. Her life was molded around the idea that one day, she would release Me into the world. That is...until she realized the bitter truth: that I, Myself, had chosen my own vessel..."

Nyx: "...And that's….that's me…."

The Mad Angel: "Yes. I chose you myself. Since your birth, I knew you represented the ideals I have longed for this world to follow.

As The Mad Angel speaks, Image of her family appears around her. This includes her uncle, Shawn Michaels, and a child version of her cousin, Carson.

The Mad Angel: "Your family...Shawn...Carson...they brought a balance between peace & chaos to anyone that watches. Even your old allies fought for justice by using chaos & destruction."

The images change to her, Furno Moxley, Aiden Black, & Raptor Reigns all putting up the Shield fist bump. Soon, the images shaped her playing music on her guitar.

The Mad Angel: "But most importantly: your music...your voice….I heard them all, Nyx. I felt the hope and chaos as you sang. All of this made me realize you were the only one worthy of harnessing The Mad Angel. Not because of some sense of divine good or demonic evil, but out of a care for everything around you...even through destructive means. Wars were fought to find peace, rivalries formed to create a better future. And in your heart...you've always known this as well."

Nyx: "...I think...I get it now. But what good will any of that do me? Traci won, and soon you'll be inside her. What can I do to stop this?"

The Mad Angel: "...You need to realize who I am...and who you are."

Everything around her starts to change. The face above her disappears as blue fire pops out in front of her. But the fire begins to change its shape. It changes...into Nyx Rosewood. And at that moment, Nyx finally understood.

Nyx: "I understand now. I am Nyx Rosewood. You are the Mad Angel. I am you."

The Mad Angel: "And you are me."

One Winged Angel (OST by Advent Children) starts playing as both reach their hands out to each other at the same time. When they lock hands, everything goes black.

….

…

….

Everything soon fades back to Traci in the room laughing as the casket burns. But as the lyrics hit, the flames begin to grow more intense! Traci stopped laughing as the hooded followers looked confused. "Wh..what's going on?" Traci thinks to herself...just as the burning casket shoots open! And rising up, there stood Nyx Rosewood, now appearing as The Mad Angel! And Traci looked HORRIFIED!

Traci: "No….NO!"

Traci, full of blind rage, charges at her! But Nyx grabs her by the throat! Before the other followers could interfere, Nyx lifts up her other hand...and the fire BURNS all of them ALIVE! Traci helplessly struggles to break free!

Traci: "YOU CAN'T DO THIS! THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY DESTINY! NOT YOURS! I WAS SUPPOSE TO HARNESS THE MAD ANGEL! I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HER VESSEL! I WAS-"

Nyx: "It's over, Traci. Your destiny ends here. I am The Mad Angel. I am Nyx Rosewood. And nobody will stop me from being who I am!

Nyx throws Traci into the casket and closes it shut! Traci screams and bangs on the casket, desperately trying to break free! But Nyx just turns away.

Nyx: "This place shall be your tomb. May The Mad Angel bring you eternal rest. Farewell, Traci Star…."

Nyx leaves as the entire basement is engulfed in flames! Nyx can still hear Traci screaming as she walks towards the exit. The blue flames follow her, incinerating the church and everything in it. Nyx opens the doors and steps outside to the night sky above. She turns back to the church as the fire fully engulfs it! The church slowly breaks apart and collapses in on itself.

Nyx remains silent as she watches the scene unfold. Everything around her was quiet, except for the raging blue fire that lit up the night sky. She stands there watching for a few more minutes until it dies down. Nyx calmly turns and heads back to her car. She sees her guitar and pulls it out, examining it. Nyx smiles as she starts to play Evil Ways. She starts singing the song as the screen follows the smoke floating towards the night sky. Once Nyx finishes singing, the screen fades to black…..
