Before the show…
goosebumps (by Travis Scott ft. Kendrick Lemar) starts playing. The scene slowly opens to an overhead shot of the Watsco Center in Miami, Florida. In slow motion, fans begin to file in through the entrance.
Yeah
7:30 in the night, yeah
Ooh-ooh, ooh
The scene then cuts to multiple figures around the empty arena. Evan Neal is on-stage speaking with some production about the aesthetic of the show. Alexis watches from ringside as Sofia, Phoenix, and Jesus warms up in the ring. From the stands, Kailene Starr sits alone, lost in her own thoughts.
I get those goosebumps every time, yeah, you come around, yeah
We see a silhouette of Chris Owens pacing back & forth backstage. Jacob Uso sits alone in the shadows while Moxley starts taping up his fists.
You ease my mind, you make everything feel fine
We see more slow-motion shots of The Wayne Bros tying up their headbands. It then cuts to CJ Hawk, sitting alone and turned away from the camera. He grabs his devil mask and slowly puts it on, slightly turning back at the camera.
Worried 'bout those comments, I'm way too numb, yeah
Mark puts on his jacket and flings his title over his shoulders. It then does a quick cut to a fast-forward shot of the fans filing in and filling up the arena.
It's way too dumb, yeah
It then cuts to an overhead shot of the crowd as we hear:
"WELCOME, EVERYONE, TO SHOWDOWN IN THE SUN! LIVE, FROM MIAMI, FLORIDA!" -Jazz Conway
I get those goosebumps every time, I need the Heimlich
Throw that to the side, yeah
There's several quick cuts of all the entrances from Showdown in the Sun, featuring Sofia, Owens, Phoenix, Wayne Bros, Katashi, & CJ's newest entrance.
It cuts to Sofia & Kailene in the ring face-to-face. And then shows the two of them throwing strikes followed by quick cuts of their match highlights.
I get those goosebumps every time, yeah, when you're not around (straight up)
When you throw that to the side, yeah (it's lit)
There's more highlights of Sofia/Kailene, including an Air Raid Crash on the table. It ends with Sofia hitting the Last Bullet & the Killshot on Kailene before holding up her WFA Women's Title.
I get those goosebumps every time, yeah,
713 through the 281, yeah I'm ridin'
Why they on me?
We go to Owens angry in the ring & Phoenix walking out with the International Title belt. We see the replay of Owens charging at Phoenix…
Why they on me? I'm flyin', sippin' low-key
…And then a slow-motion shot of Phoenix hitting the Standing Spanish Fly before going into their match highlights.
I be sippin' low-key in Onyx, rider, rider
We see quick cuts of Phoenix diving onto Owens and Chris hitting Phoenix hard enough to turn him inside out as the crowd grew excited.
When I'm pullin' up right beside ya
Pop star, lil' Mariah
When I text, kick game, knowledge
We then see Owens attacking Phoenix outside the ring, causing a double countout loss. Then it shifts to Phoenix attacking Owens, then brawling through the crowd, before finally ending with Owens on-stage yelling at security.
Throw a stack on the Bible
Never Snapchat or took molly
The scene then shows Phoenix standing on top of the catwalk! It cuts to another slow motion shot of Phoenix running off the catwalk and diving onto everyone! The crowd rises up as Phoenix holds up the International Title.
She fall through plenty, her and all her ginnies, yeah
We at the top floor, right there off Doheny, yeah
We then see a replay of CJ Hawk's new gear & entrance as he walks to the ring. It then cuts to CJ attacking Derrick, leading into different moments of the tag title match. Including when CJ bloodies Derrick and him barely able to stand.
Oh no, I can't fuck with y'all, yeah
When I'm with my squad I cannot do no wrong, yeah
The scene ends with CJ hitting Death From Above to Devin on the apron, and then beating the crap out of Derrick before locking in Devil's breath. Katashi is seen laughing and smiling as they leave… and then cuts to Revolution appearing and beating up the Wayne Bros even more!
Saucin' in the city, don't get misinformed, yeah
They gon' pull up on you (brrt, brrt, brrt)
The scene cuts to Furno marching out and Jacob Uso appearing…before Furno runs out and attacks Uso on the floor!
Yeah, we gon' do some things, some things you can't relate
Yeah, 'cause we from a place, a place you cannot stay
We then see quick highlights of them beating the crap out of each other. And after a Samoan Drop by Jacob Uso, it cuts to Raptor Reigns walking out.
Oh, you can't go, oh, I don't know
Oh, back the fuck up off me (brrt, brrt, brrt)
The scene shows Raptor watching Jacob about to hit Furno with a weapon, but Furno takes him down. He goes to strike, but then Raptor stops him. As they argue and shove, Raptor then hits Furno with the Reign of Pain to a shock crowd. The scene then cuts to Raptor leaving and Jacob hitting Day One to win.
As the song slows, we see everything in slow motion as DJ walks out. We see Kingston announce a 2-out-of-3 Falls match against Sabre with Natalia as the referee. We then flash to Evan Neal talking to Sabre and making it a #1 Contender's Match if he doesn't touch Kingston until then.
I get those goosebumps every time, yeah, you come around, yeah
You ease my mind, you make everything feel fine
We then hear "The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the ICW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP" as Jesus makes his entrance with Alexis.
Worried 'bout those comments, I'm way too numb, yeah
It's way too dumb, yeah
It then shifts to a slow-mo of Mark Jacobs making his with the Heavyweight Title around his waist. We then see Mark & Jesus staredown with Mark holding up the title.
I get those goosebumps every time, I need the Heimlich
Throw that to the side, yeah
We then see highlights of the Heavyweight Title Match, including Mark getting thrown around by Garza, Alexis stopping him and saying Mark loses the title by DQ or Countout, and Mark viciously targeting Jesus's arm.
I get those goosebumps every time, yeah, when you're not around
When you throw that to the side, yeah
The highlights continue with Jesus firing back at Mark. We see Mark attempt a Triangle Moonsault but Jesus rolls out the way. Jesus then runs and hits a slow motion Diving Crossbody onto Mark! It then shows Jesus about to put Mark away, but Mark nearly shoves him into Alexis.
I get those goosebumps every time
We then see Mark slam the arm, hit Deep Coma, and hit the Baneful Ways. The last scene is Mark standing over Jesus, holding the Heavyweight Title, while looking down at Alexis.
The video ends, and the intro begins.
One finger and a fist

What you wanna do?
(Revolution is seen in another part of the room. Christian is pacing back and forth, Ava is watching intently, Clay is trying to sell a T-shirt to some guy and Sai is on the floor sleeping with a pillow and blanket, before we flash back to them attacking Chris Blade at Immortality and standing tall)
You call me crazy, I paid my dues

I got a one, two punch
(Alexis Espinoza and Evan Neal are seen on the other balcony, overseeing what's going on underneath. Behind them is a 'Missing' poster of Trell. Evan offers a handshake with a cocky grin, but Alexis gives him a finger, before turning back to the spotlight in the middle of the room)
I'll fight my way out of any confrontation
(The camera pans right into the hooded person, who's standing over a mountain of bloody men. The person removes the hood and looks up to reveal herself as Sofia Reynoso, who gives a knowing wink, before we pan around her to reveal the entire ICW Roster. The ICW Battleground logo then explodes onto the screen as everyone lunges at each other to fight)
The screen cuts to the ICW arena where the fans are cheering and ready for the show.
Jazz: "WELCOME BACK, EVERYONE, TO ICW BATTLEFIELD! We are LIVE and we are back in the Frank C. Ewrin Center in Austin, Texas! Coming off ICW's first TV special, Showdown in the Sun, it's now full speed ahead to our second PPV of the season: ICW Unbreakable! I'm Jazz Conway, joined as always by Jay Masters!"
Jay: "What a time I had in Miami, Jazz! The beach, the women, the bars, the women, the food, and especially the women!"
Jazz: "Aren't you married?"
Jay: "Only when my wife is around."
Jazz: "That- you're horrible!"
Jay: "Don't hate cause my tan wanted the ladies to feel the Masters!"
Jazz: "I hope your tan is really just sunburn and your wife hits you all over your burns. Anyway, we have a night full of action and drama as we move closer to Unbreakable in Orlando! Tonight, we will see the WFA North American Championship being defended for the first time as the champion Asher Darma faces off against Ced!"
Jay: "We're also gonna see Jaden Sennoa try to defy the odds in a two-on-one handicap match against Ray Cobra & Seth Mercer of E! R! S! On top of that, ICW will have its first ever Mixed Tag Team Match as Chris Owens, the RIGHTFUL International Champion, team up with Katarina Love to take on those thieving scums of La Rebelion, Phoenix & Sofia Reynoso!"
Jazz: "All that and more on Battlefield! Right now, we're gonna turn it over to Hannah in the ring!"
The screen cuts over to Hannah standing in the ring holding a mic.
Hannah: "Welcome everyone to ICW Battlefield!"
The crowd cheers.
Hannah: "We have a hell of a show in-store for you guys tonight! But before we get into tonight's actions, it is my honor to bring out the woman that will play the most important role in DJ Kingston and Jason Sabre's 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match! Please welcome the guest referee at Unbreakable: Natalia Rodriguez!"
I Burn (by Jeff and Casey Lee Williams) plays as pillars of fire explode from the stage. Natalia soon appears to a LOUD pop. She's wearing blue jeans, red converse sneakers, and a black Led Zeppelin t-shirt.
Jazz: "I can't imagine what's going on in Nattie's head. Caught in such a difficult position…"
Jay: "DJ did warn her, Jazz. She would have to make a choice. And now the fate of Kingston & Sabre rests solely in her hands."
Nattie walks to the ring, her face full of bitterness and uncertainty. She steps inside, not bothering to react to the crowd, and stands next to Hannah.
Hannah: "Thank you for joining me here, Natalia."
The crowd breaks off into loud "NAT-TIE" chants. Natalia remains bitter, however, and doesn't react to it.
Hannah: "As I've mentioned before, we heard at Showdown in the Sun that DJ Kingston made you the special guest referee in his match against Jason Sabre at Unbreakable in a #1 Contender's 2 Out of 3 Falls Match. Everyone wants to know, what are your thoughts in regards to this position you're in?"
Natalia: She stays quiet for a moment, letting the question sink in. "I'd be lying if I said I'm enthusiastic about the role I'm in. Because I've wanted to stay out of this from the start. New Horizon…I can't explain why I did what I did because I don't know myself. I was full of emotion… and I reacted blindly. But I do know one thing: if I'm stuck being the guest referee, then I'm calling this down the middle. I'm not going to show favoritism to anyone, because I don't want either to win that way. They're both incredible wrestlers, and I want the winner to be whoever out-wrestles the other. That's the only way to decide who is the better man."
The crowd continues to cheer for Nattie. Hannah is about to ask her next question… until Lydia (by Highly Suspect) starts to play. The crowd erupts into LOUD boos as out walks Mark Jacobs with the ICW Heavyweight Championship over his shoulder. Mark has on his black & white three piece suit with his hair in a small man bun.
Jazz: "Oh God…here comes Mark Jacobs…"
Jay: "What a treat this is! Fresh off an amazing title defense against Jesus Garza, the champ is here to make his presence felt!"
Mark Jacobs does the Baneful throat slit before holding up his title to even more boos! Mark soon walks into the ring and stares at Natalia. She and Hannah both watch as Mark paces around them. But before Hannah could get a word out, "The Bane of Existence" snatches the mic out of her hand!
Mark: "You're not needed anymore! Now GET OUT!"
The crowd boos even louder at this! Hannah scoffs, but does leave the ring. Mark turns and goes face-to-face with Natalia.
Mark: "Better man? You… you seriously think either of them is the better man. Why? Because they're fighting over you!?"
The crowd chants "YOU SUCK" at Mark.
Mark: "You brain dead idiots can shout whatever you want! But make sure you recognize that I'M STILL THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!"
Crowd boos even more as Mark holds up the Heavyweight Title.
Mark: "You need to understand something, Nattie. Around here? DJ Kingston isn't the better man. Jason Sabre isn't the better man. No one from La Rebelion is the better man! Because none of them hold THIS!"
Mark holds the title in front of Nattie's face while she glares at him.
Mark: "Mark Jacobs IS the better man for ONE SIMPLE FACT: and that's because I AM STILL THE ICW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!" He turns back to Natalia. "And you….I want you to understand the position you're truly in: those two can fight over getting in your pants all they want. But whoever you give the win to won't matter. Because you'll be rewarding them with a death sentence! And I'll be there to cut their heads off!"
They both stare down for a few seconds…until all of the lights darken. Winter Blues (by Joyner Lucas) plays. Once the gunshots in the song are heard, the light on stage lit up to reveal Generation M posing. Everyone boos as DJ, Caesar, & Dylan stands there, with DJ having a smirk on his face.
Jazz: "Now this is an intriguing sight! Cause here comes DJ Kingston!"
Jay: "Obviously coming to the aid of Natalia Rodriguez!"
Jazz: "I doubt that. More like to let Mark know who's coming for his title…"
DJ sends Caesar & Dylan to the back. He signals for the music to cut as he slowly makes his way to the ring.
DJ: "So you're Mark Jacobs…the ICW Heavyweight Champion." DJ smirks at this. "I gotta say, I have to give you all the credit in the world. You called your shot. You said you were gonna take the Heavyweight Title, and that's exactly what you did. You said you were going 3-0 against La Rebelion, and you did exactly that. You and I are a lot alike. I called my shot. I told everyone I was going to beat Jason Sabre, and I did exactly that. And come Unbreakable, I plan on doing the same exact thing!"
As DJ walks in, Mark begins to speak up.
Mark: "Let me stop you right there, Kingston. Because there's nothing similar between us. Because unlike you, I have this!" He holds up the Heavyweight Title. "And as long as I have this, I am the REAL Ace around here! I'm better than everyone here! And that includes you too, DJ!"
Loud "SA-BRE" chants fill the arena.
Mark: "I'm better than that washed-up has-been, too!"
Everyone responds with boos. But DJ couldn't help but chuckle.
DJ: "You make a valid argument, Mark. But let's be honest here: as good as you are, you're just not Ace level material. Nobody cares about that title because they don't respect the guy holding it. When I step into the arena, everyone's eyes are on me! When you show up, everyone finds a way to look away from you! The reason for that is because you lack the star power that I possess! And the day I take that title, you'll see just how much of an Astonishing Ace I am!"
Mark immediately gets in his face.
Mark: "You better pray that I'm dead & gone by then! Because that's the only time anyone is getting this championship from me! Like I told your little plaything over here!" He gestures to a disgusted Natalia. "It doesn't matter who wins at Unbreakable! Because both of you are fighting for the right to get cut down by the Bane of Existence! And if you keep testing my patience, then I might just cut you down right now where you stand!"
Both men go face-to-face as the crowd chants "YOU BOTH SUCK!" Paper Planes (by M.I.A) plays to a loud pop. Out walks Alexis Espinoza from the La Rebelion entrance way while wearing a custom La Rebelion business suit.
Alexis: "Mark…Mark…Mark… ¿Cuándo aprenderás a no correr la boca? The more you talk down about everyone, the worse your situation becomes."
Mark: He scoffs. "Real gunny coming from you, Alexis! Last I checked, I already wiped the floor with all three of your boys!"
The crowd boos, but Alexis holds her hand up to calm them down.
Alexis: "...You know what? Facts are facts. You did beat Garza last week at Showdown in the Sun. But here's a big fact you need to understand: I still run ICW! Which means I have an entire roster lined up and ready to beat some humility into you! It's open hunting season, Jacobs! And it starts tonight… when you go one-on-one with the man in the ring with you now: DJ Kingston!"
Mark & DJ glance at each other as the crowd boos.
Alexis: "And as a little preview to Unbreakable, there's gonna be a special guest referee: none other than the 'Ace of Pro Wrestling,' Jason Sabre!"
Now the crowd gets loud for the Jason Sabre announcement. But Mark & DJ are NOT happy about that stipulation while Natalia just remains stoic. Alexis, feeling satisfied, smiles and walks away.
Jay: "You gotta be kidding me! DJ Kingston & Mark Jacobs, a marquee matchup anywhere, has to deal with Jason Sabre officiating!?"
Jazz: "I think that's a wonderful idea! The only person I trust to contain the level of egos between both men would be the 'Ace of Pro Wrestling' himself!"
Jay: "Sabre is NOT the Ace anymore! DJ is! And this treatment is not becoming of the Ace or the Heavyweight Champion!"
Jazz: "I can't wait to see both men beat each other up! But we still got a night of action to get through first! Up next, it's the WFA North American Championship match between Asher Darma & the challenger, Ced."
((Ad Break))
The screen cuts backstage to the office of Evan Neal looking at himself in the mirror. His door suddenly busts open and startles him! Neal turns and sees Mark Jacobs storming in.
Mark: "What kind of joke of a business are you running here, Neal!? Who the hell does she think she is to declare open hunting season on ME!?"
Evan: He takes a few deep breaths. "Now, hold on Mr. Jacobs-"
Mark: "No nothing! There's no holding on! She wants to try to play me!? Says it's open hunting season on me?! I'd storm into that locker room and slap every person in there just to show she can't do shit to stop me!"
Evan: "Maybe…" he clears his throat. "Maybe this is a good thing."
Mark: "A good thing!? Where in your simple mind is this a good thing for your top champion!?" He angrily shakes the title in Neal's face.
Evan: He gently moves Mark away from him. "Yes….I understand your frustration. But think of it like this:"
He puts Mark in front of a window to show a reflection of himself. Evan puts an arm around his shoulders.
Evan: "You get to establish your dominance over the potentially #1 Contender! The guy who beat the guy everyone out there feels is the best of all time! And you go out there and mop the floor with him? What will that tell everyone? And as for Jason, what's he gonna do? He can't touch DJ or else he loses his opportunity. And if he tries to attack you, well then that's only helping DJ! You still have all the strokes, Mark. So go out there tonight and remind them why you're called the Bane of Existence…and the ICW Heavyweight Champion!"
Mark stares at himself for a moment. He looks at the championship in his hand then back at Neal. Mark silently pushes Evan away and leaves his office.
Neal gives a cocky smirk as the screen fades back to ringside.
Jazz: "Powerful words coming from Mr. Evan Neal to the Bane of Existence, though I don't know if the words really resonated with Mark."
Jay: "You kidding, Jazz!? Did you not see the intensity in Mark Jacobs's eyes! He's more than ready to demonstrate his dominance in ICW! That's the magic of The Neal Deal!"
Jazz: "Let's move on to our first match of the night!"
"The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the WFA NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP!"
The lights in the arena flash around in a different array of colors as Icon (Instrumentals) (by Jaden Smith) plays. Smoke comes up onto the stage as Ced walks out staring down at the ground. After a few seconds, he looks up and spits water out in a mist as he makes his way down the ramp. Once he reaches ringside, he stops to take a look at the crowd before making his way to the steps. He walked up the steps, entered the ring, and made his way to the corner. He climbed the turnbuckle posed with his arms in the air.
Jay: "Look at him, Jazz….this physical specimen in front of us! He is poised, primed, and ready to crush the dreams of Asher Darma and become the WFA North American Champion!"
Jazz: "From the first day on Training Grounds, Ced has made his opinions known about the physically smaller crops of talent everywhere, and how none of them compares to him. He even went on to take out Will Ralston and direct his attention to Asher & his title."
Jay: "Ced is a legend in the WFA, and the fact that he was forced to face lowlife nobodies for months is an insult to a man of his stature! And I cannot wait to see Ced get what he's owed, and that's the WFA North American Championship!"
As Ced hops down, A House That's Not Quite Home (by Junior) plays to a big ovation! Out walks Asher Darma with the North American title around his waist and a big smile across his face. He high fives all of the fans around ringside before rolling in the ring. He climbs to the top rope and holds up his title to cheers! The screen soon cuts to William Dawkins watching the scene in a private lounge above the crowds.
Jazz: "A big moment for Asher Darma tonight! His first title defense since winning the Supernovas Tournament and becoming the inaugural North American Champion! And he's about to square off against Ced."
Jay: "Asher has been living on a prayer since winning the title! He had his feel good moment, Jazz! Now it's time to get back to reality, and that reality is Ced!"
As Ced hops down, the lights dim as a spotlight shines over the ring.
"Introducing first…the challenger! From Charlotte, North Carolina, standing 6'3" & weighing 265 lbs: 'The Emperor of Excellence'... 'The Black Leone:' CED!"
The crowd boos as Ced poses with his arms spread out wide.
"Introducing his opponent, from Pujari, India and residing in Seattle, Washington, standing 6'2" & weighing in at 215 lbs, he is the WFA North American Champion: 'The Slumdog' ASHHHHER DARMAAAA!"
The boos turn into cheers as Asher waves to the people. The referee takes the title and holds it up.
Jazz: "The first defense of the North American Title! Who will walk out as champion?! Will it be Ced with his athletic abilities? Or will it be Asher and his unyielding willpower?"
The bell rings, and the crowd is firmly behind "The Slumdog" with loud "ASH-ER DAR-MA" chants. The two pace each other and lock up. They struggle for a few seconds before Ced throws him back against the corner. Ced remains laser focused while Darma compliments him on his strength. They pace each other and lock up again. Ced turns him around into a waistlock and slams him to the mat. Ced still has him pinned, but Darma rolls on top of Ced and applies a Waistlock. Ced pulls himself up. He hits a Snapmare and puts Asher in a Headlock! He drags Darma to the mat, but Asher performs a handstand! Asher folds his legs before straightening up and leaping out of the headlock. The crowd applauds Asher as Ced looks at him with disgust. Asher offers Ced a handshake with a smile. Ced stands up and smirks. He accepts Asher's handshake to a good pop, but then slams him down on the mat! And Ced proceeds to repeatedly stomp down on him to loud boos!
Jazz: "Ced showing how much of a hate-filled man he is with that cheap shot and heinous attack!"
Jay: "Ced isn't here to play nice with Asher! Ced is looking to dominate and win championship gold!"
Ced grabs Asher and whips him to the ropes. He goes for a clothesline, but Darma ducks it! He keeps running and leaps over Ced's Back Body Drop attempt. Darma runs and slides between his legs. Ced turns and eats an Arm Drag into an Arm Stretch. Ced gets back up and twists Asher's arm! Asher rolls, leaps up, and twists Ced's arm back! He runs up the corner, ropewalks a bit, and hits a Ropewalk Arm Drag! Ced stumbles up, Asher kicks up, and he Dropkicks Ced out of the ring! The crowd cheers for Darma as he gets the crowd behind him! He sprints across the ring…and gets BLASTED with a Clothesline by Ced! Asher was turned inside out, nearly landing on his head! He lifts up Asher and tackles him in the corner! He hits multiple Shoulder Blocks before scooping him up and hitting a Running Powerslam! Ced stands up, posing once again to loud boos. He scoops up Asher and lifts him up vertically. Holding him there for thirty seconds, "The Black Leone" hits the Delayed Vertical Suplex! Ced makes the cover.
1!
….
2!
KICKOUT!
Jazz: "Kickout barely after two, but it's clear that Ced is in firm control right now!"
Jay: "This is what Ced specializes in, Jazz! Complete and total domination over his opponents!"
Ced gets up and stomps at Asher again. He then steps back, bouncing off the ropes, and hits the Knee Drop to the back. He rolls up and hits another Knee Drop! He scoops Asher up then attempts to drop Darma with the Standing Back Suplex. But Asher lands behind him and hits a Roaring Elbow! Ced fell against the ropes before bouncing back up. Asher goes for the Irish Whip, but Ced doesn't budge! He shook his head no and whipped Asher into the corner. Ced runs at Asher who blocks with a kick! Darma climbs up the top rope, but Ced Chops him across the chest! Darma was stunned! Ced then turns him around and climbs up. He lifts Darma for a Super Back Suplex, but Darma turns mid-air into a Crossbody! Ced crashes down as Asher hooks the leg!
1!
….
2!
..KICKOUT!
Ced pushes him off! Darma quickly gets up as Ced rolls on his knees. "The Slumdog" hits him with a Rolling Thunder Uppercut, knocking Ced out of the ring! Ced gets to his feet and tries to take a breather. But Darma climbs up the top rope and hits D-Day (Diving Senton on a Standing Opponent) to Ced on the floor!
Jazz: "D-Day to Ced! A costly mistake from Ced has Asher bringing the fight to the overly confident Black Leone!"
Jay: "This can't be happening! Someone check on Ced!"
The crowd cheers louder for Darma as he & Ced lay out in the ring! But Asher slowly gets up first and drags Ced back in the ring. He climbs on the apron and hits him with the Paved Road (Slingshot Tornado DDT from the apron, through the middle ropes and into the ring)! Asher hooks both legs!
1!
…..
2!
….KICKOUT!
Jazz: "NEARLY a three-count by Asher! However Ced is struggling to stay in this title bout! Asher is providing the fight I'm sure Ced underestimated there would be!"
Jay: "That's just full of nonsense, Jazz! Ced is a mega star and an elite talent! It's gonna take blind luck for Asher to keep him down!"
The crowd stays behind Darma, who pulls himself back up! As Ced crawls to his feet, Asher hits him with a kick across the chest! "The Slumdog" hits another, and another, and another! He steps back and goes for a Roundhouse, but Ced grabs the leg! He trips Asher and puts him in the Figure Four Leglock!
Jay: "Figure Four! Ced caught him in the Figure Four! It's over!"
Jazz: "This could spell disaster for Darma's title reign!"
Darma wails in agony as he reaches his arms out! The crowd screams out for Darma to not give up! Asher continues to struggle as he pulls himself and Ced towards a rope! But Ced used his size advantage to drag Darma back towards the middle! Darma pulls at his hair as he struggles to overcome the pain! He pulls and pulls…before slowly rolling over and applying a Reverse Figure Four! The crowd pops as Ced finds himself in agony now! This time, everyone chants for a Tapout as Ced even teases doing so! But he crawls over and grabs the ropes in time.
Jazz: "Quick thinking by Asher to reverse the submission and keep himself in this match!"
Jay: "Tell Asher to let Ced go, ref! He has the ropes!"
Asher weakly untangled his legs from Ced as they both lay on the mat. They soon crawl to their feet… and Ced hits a BIG Knife Edge Chop to Darma's chest! Asher falls against the ropes, but he pulls himself back up! Ced turns him around and Chops him again in the chest, yelling "You ain't champion material!" He hits a third chop, but Darma shakes his head defiantly! Ced tries for one more chop, but Asher ducks it and hits another Roaring Elbow! The crowd cheers as Ced stumbles back! Asher goes behind and hits a Snap German Suplex! He maintains waist control and hits a second German! Asher holds on one last time, but Ced elbows him in the face to break free! He then quickly lifts Asher up for a Deathbomb (Fireman's Carry Neckbreaker Slam)! But Asher flips and lands on his feet! Ced turns and eats a Superkick to the face! Asher runs the ropes…and runs right into Ced's Double C Spinebuster!
Jay: "There it is! The Double C Spinebuster! It's all but over now!"
Jazz: "Is this it?! Is Asher's dream coming to a heartbreaking end?!"
Jay: "Take it in, Jazz! It's about to end just… like… THAT!"
Ced grabs him by his arm and lifts him right onto his shoulders! Ced looks dead at the hardcam, calling for the Deathbomb again! But then Asher hooks the shoulders and catches him in a Crucifix Bomb!

KICKOUT!
"Here is your winner…and STILL WFA North American Champion: ASHER DARMA!"
Jazz: "HE DID IT! ASHER JUST BEAT CED! JUST! LIKE! THAT!"
Jay: "WHAT!? THAT WAS TWO! CED GOT HIS SHOULDERS UP AT TWO!"
Jazz: "That was no two-count, Jay! Ced kicked out just a second too late, and Asher Darma has retained the North American Championship!"
Crowd pops HARD as Asher rolls to the ropes! Ced looks up in disbelief that the match is over! He argues with the ref that it was a two-count. But the ref assured him that he counted three! Darma leans against the ropes, clearly exhausted but still delighted. The referee moves Asher away and, while helping him up, gives the title to Asher! Asher holds up full of smiles while Ced is ENRAGED! He was so enraged that Ced hit the Creeping Death (Running Lariat to the Back of the head and neck) on Asher! And the crowd is NOT happy as boos come pouring in! Ced lifts Darma on his shoulders, marches around, and finally hits the Deathbomb! He grabs Darma's head and yells "You are NOT better than me!" before laying in the fists to his face!
Jazz: "Now this is disgusting by Ced! A heinous assault all because he didn't win tonight! And this is supposed to be a mega star?"
Jay: "He was ROBBED, Jazz! Asher got bailed out by the referee, and Ced knows it! He knows how great he is! This was supposed to be a crowning achievement, but instead he feels embarrassed and made to look like a fool!"
Ced flips Asher over and applies The King's Crossface (Arm Trap Crossface)! The referee tried to pull Ced away, but he had the hold locked tight! But suddenly, Failure (by Breaking Benjamin) plays and out runs "The Avenger" Will Ralston! Ced lets Asher go as Will sprints in the ring and tackles Ced to the ground, wailing away at him!
Jazz: "It's Will Ralston! Ralston is back and is gunning straight for Ced!"
Jay: "You gotta be kidding me! I thought Ralston would never return after what Ced did to him!"
Jazz: "Well he's back! And back with a vengeance!"
Will continues his assault on Ced with furious blows! But Ced soon pushes him off! He gets up… and gets hit with the Slingblade by Will! Ced stumbles up and Ralston follows it up with a Stunner to the Black Leone! Will wasn't finished with his aggressive attack and proceeded to punch Ced rapidly before locking him in the GTS! The crowd was enjoying the brawl… until a shocking sight made everyone go crazy!
Entering the ring…was Ruthless Roger Stone, who walked over to Will! He grabs him, lifts him with ease, and SLAMS him down with the Act of Ruthlessness (Running Freak Accident)! Everyone starts booing as they see who's walking out now! Entering the ring behind him was Tate Williams and a smiling Elijah Holiday carrying a folder!
Jay: "What an Act of Ruthlessness that was by the Juggernaut of Ruthlessness, Jazz!"
Jazz: "It's Holiday Promotions! Why are they here!? Why did Stone just TAKE OUT Will Ralston!? What's going on now!?"
Ced coughs and gasps for breath as he looks up. He sees Stone, Tate, & Elijah all looking at him. Ced stands up against the corner and braces himself for what's about to happen next. Elijah walks over to Ced and opens up the folder…revealing a Holiday Promotions contract! He then pulls out a pen and offers the contract to Ced! Ced looks at Elijah, smiles, and signs on the dotted line! Ced shakes Elijah's hand & holds up the contract to LOUD boos!
Jay: "JAZZ! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!? CED HAS JUST SIGNED ON AS A MEMBER OF HOLIDAY PROMOTIONS! WHAT A GRAB THAT IS!"
Jazz: "Oh my word…this is not good news for anybody…"
Ced and Tate soon shook hands and embraced! Elijah asks Ced to hang back and relax as Tate & Stone immediately turn and attack Asher & Will! Stone grabs Asher by his head, lifts him up, and hits the Act of Ruthlessness on him as well, to loud boos! Tate then tells Stone to hold Will up. He does so, and "The Marvelous One" JABS the Immortal Briefcase into Ralston's gut! As Ralston falls, Tate climbs to the top rope and hits the Marvelous Finale (Diving Elbow Drop) onto Ralston!
Jazz: "Just a disgusting display from Elijah, Tate, and all of Holiday Promotions…."
Jay: "Are you kidding!? This is a time for celebration! Ced signing to Holiday Promotions might just be the biggest grab in the history of sports!"
Jazz: "This is unbelievable…. We gotta cut to a quick commercial break…"
((Ad Break))
The screen cuts back to Holiday Promotions still in the ring with Ced. Will & Asher is being helped from ringside by officials.
Jazz: "Welcome back to ICW, everyone… and as you can see, Holiday Promotions are still in the ring after spending all commercial long just beating down on Asher Darma & the returning Will Ralston…"
Jay: "They have something to say, Jazz! And they're gonna get it off their chests right now!"
Elijah stands in the ring with a smile as the crowd pours down the boos.
Elijah: "Do you see it now? Do you people finally understand what's happening right in front of your eyes!?"
The crowd keeps booing.
Elijah: "This, right here, is a group of the most gifted athletes in the history of this sport! You have the Immortal Marvelous himself!" He points to Tate. "THE present & future of professional wrestling! He is the marvelous all star of Holiday Promotions, and the future ICW Heavyweight Champion, Marvelous Tate Williams!"
Tate holds up the gold briefcase to loud boos.
Elijah: "Then you have the enforcer! The insurance policy for Holiday Promotions! The destroyer of darkness! The Juggernaut of Ruthlessness, Ruthless Roger Stone!"
Stone lets out a loud roar to boos.
Elijah: "And now… the newest signee to Holiday Promotions!" He pats Ced in his back. "This man…I've admired this man since the early days of the WFA. Why? Because since the beginning, this man has been the centerpiece of it all! The biggest asset in any company…and he was unjustly ROBBED of the WFA North American Championship! This man has had his legendary status dragged through the mud for TOO LONG! And now, with the assistance & resources of Holiday Promotions, this man will remind everyone to put some respect on his name!"
Everyone boos as Ced nods in agreement.
Elijah: "He is the greatest acquisition to ever come out of Charlotte, North Carolina! He is the complete package of a specimen! A star in front of your eyes! And the most athletically complete wrestler ever! Strength, speed, agility, endurance, stamina, you name it, he has it! He is truly The King! The Black Leone! The Emperor of Black Excellence! And wrestling's greatest all-star! This is CED!"
Ced stands there with his arms out to loud boos.
Elijah: "I want all of you to get a good look at what's standing in this ring right now. What you're seeing right now is power. Fame. Money. Domination! And. The scariest part? This is only the beginning! Holiday Promotion is growing! And trust & believe when I say that these guys are going to take over everything! Holiday Promotions are on the rise! And NO ONE will STOP US!"
Everyone keeps booing as Elijah raises Ced's & Tate's arms. All of a sudden, the lights cut off! The crowd grows excited as the arena is covered in pitch black darkness!
Jay: "Jazz….what the hell is going on!?"
Jazz: "I don't know, Jay! Everything's gone pitch black! I can't see a thing!"
A very dark blue light soon fills the arena as Holiday Promotions looks around! And then…fire EXPLODES from the stage, causing everyone to turn towards it! As the fire flickers on stage… out rises "The King of Dispair" Azriel!
Jazz: "IT'S AZRIEL! AZRIEL HAS RISEN BACK FROM THE PITS OF HELL!"
Jay: "OH MY GOD NO! ANYONE BUT HIM!"
The crowd went BERSERK! Azriel stands there, surrounded by fire and with pure RAGE on his face! Elijah nearly collapsed at the sight of him! Tate & Ced were visibly concerned while Roger Stone was LIVID! Azriel steps through the fire and marches down to the ring! He steps over the ropes and stares down everyone! As the lights return to normal, loud chants of "AZ-RI-EL" fill the arena! Both Azriel & Stone stood eye-to-eye while Elijah immediately hid behind Stone! Tate & Ced cautiously surround Azriel, who doesn't break eye contact with Stone!
Williams & Ced tries to Double Team Azriel, but the King of Despair breaks free and sends both of them nearly out of the ring! He grabs Ced by his heads as Tate runs at him! He then grabs Tate with and hits the Fall of Man (One-Handed Spinebuster) while still holding Ced! Azriel then lifts and splashes Ced with From Heaven to Hell (Iron Claw Slam)! And then he & Stone face-off as the crowd gets crazy! The two stood there for a few more seconds…and they started throwing punches!
Jazz: "Here we go! The brawl is on now!"
Jay: "Batten down the hatches! They're gonna tear each other apart!"
The crowd went nuts at the sight of Azriel and Roger Stone fighting! Azriel takes the advantage with his strikes, knocking Stone back against the ropes. But Roger knees him in the gut, nearly knocking him over! Stone runs the ropes, but Azriel runs after him and Clothesline Stone out to the floor! Azriel leaves the ring and continues to fight Roger Stone up the ramp! Stone begins to fight back with a cheap shot to his ribs! Stone grabs him and attempts the Ruthality (his own Iron Claw Slam) off the stage again! But Azriel kicks him in the gut! Stone stumbles back…and Azriel tackles him all the way through the entranceway!
Jazz: "GOOD LORD!"
Jay: "THIS IS TURNING INTO CHAOS!"
Everyone backstage all scatters as Stone and Azriel smash their way through! But neither beasts would stay down! As soon as they got up, the two of them went back to fighting! Finally, a mob of security rushed through to stop the chaos! They kept Azriel and Stone apart, but they easily broke through and charged at each other! They were once more pulled apart, but Stone lifted a crate and threw it at Azriel with ease! And Azriel catches it! As he throws it down, Stone runs and tackles him to the ground! Azriel rolls him over and starts to beat down Stone until a mob of security, referees, and even a few wrestlers tries to pull him back! Alexis & Evan ran out to gain control of things while Elijah, Tate, & Ced arrived to hold back Stone! As Azriel keeps trying to charge at Stone, Elijah yells at Stone to retreat and deal with this on their own time, not Azriel's! Stone glares at "The King of Despair" but does back off and eventually leaves with Holiday Promotions! In response, Azriel grabs a few security guards and throws them all over the place until his rage subsided!
Jazz: "My God…Azriel is BACK! And he wants to rip the head off of Roger Stone!"
Jay: "He's a maniac! He's destructive! Hell, THEY'RE BOTH DESTRUCTIVE! Roger Stone and Azriel will legitimately tear apart ICW just to take one another out!"
Jazz: "Darma beating Ced, Ced attacking Darma, Ralston returns to attack Ced, Ced signing with Holiday Promotions…and now Azriel is here to destroy Roger Stone and everything standing in his way! We need ANOTHER commercial break to try and gain some semblance of control here!"
((Ad Break))
The screen cuts back to ringside, with a large hole in the entrance way.
Jazz: "Welcome back to ICW Battlefield! Control has finally been restored here as Holiday Promotions has left the arena. Azriel…well, nobody knows where he went. Though I doubt they're gonna question it more so than to steer clear!"
Jay: "If anyone should steer clear, it's Azriel needing to stay FAR away from Roger Stone and Holiday Promotions! Not for their safety, but for his!"
Jazz: "You think that Azriel is concerned for his own health!?"
Jay: "You….make a good point, Jazz. I really just want them to stay FAR away from my general area while they try to destroy each other!"
Jazz: "Well-"
Demons (by Imagine Dragon) plays, and the crowd IMMEDIATELY groans. Out walks E-Baum with a scowl. He is followed by a demotivated Ray Cobra & Seth Mercer full of dread.
"The following contest is a Two-on-One Handicap Match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, representing E.R.S & accompanied to the ring by E-Baum, at a total combined weight of 490 lbs: 'RAY COBRA & SETH MERCER!"
Jay: "JAZZ! LOOK! IT'S E! R! S!"
Jazz: "Oh right…our next match does feature these guys…. Although Ray & Seth have a reason for looking nervous as they're set to take on Jaden Sennoa."
Jay: "You mean they're ready to wipe the floor with Jaden Sennoa, Jazz! Against these guys, he doesn't stand a chance!"
Jazz: "...How do you convince yourself to believe the nonsense you think of?"
Jay: "SILENCE, JAZZ! E-Baum is about to speak!"
They enter the ring with E-Baum holding the mic. The crowd just floods them with boos. And this gets on E-Baum's nerves.
E-Baum: "SILENCE!"
The crowd boos louder.
E-Baum: "Listen up, peons! Because I'm going to educate you all on what you're about to see! You all are about to witness a beating to which no one has ever seen! Tonight, that punk coward Jaden Sennoa will regret messing with E!"
Ray: "R…."
Seth: "...S
E-Baum sees them appearing hopeless. He tries to get them hype and confidence in them… until The Truth (by Beanie Sigel) plays. The crowd cheers for Jaden, who marches to the ring with a towel over his shoulder. He storms right in the ring and stands across from E.R.S.
"Introducing their opponent, from residing in San Francisco, California, standing 6'4" & weighing in at 256 lbs: 'The Kona Crusher' JADEN SENNOA!"
Jazz: "You can see the look in the eyes of Jaden Sennoa and see he is ready to cause some bodily harm to all of E.R.S!"
Jay: "Okay, sure. One-on-one, he can be deadly! But two-on-one? Jaden has met his match!"
The bell rings as Jaden paces back & forth. Ray & Seth nervously looks at Sennoa as the crowd chants "JADEN'S GONNA KILL YOU!" Seth suddenly pushes Ray forward! And Ray immediately grabs Seth and pushes him front and center! They both begin to argue about who should be the first to start. E-Baum tries to tell them to stay focused, but Jaden is sick of waiting and strikes at both of them with a Double Clothesline! He grabs Seth and throws him over the ropes & to the floor! He soon mounts Ray with a flurry of punches to the head!
Jazz: "Jaden Sennoa is immediately on the attack!"
Jay: "Ref needs to go in there and pull Sennoa off of him! We don't even know who the legal man is!"
E-Baum yells at Ray to move! Jaden soon sees him, and this quickly shuts E-Baum up. Jaden gets off of Ray and slowly approaches E-Baum. But then Seth Mercer leaps on his back with a Rear Naked Choke! Jaden grabs him and flings Mercer off his back effortlessly! Seth stumbles up, Jaden grabs his waist, and he gets Suplexed far across the ring! Ray gets up and runs at Jaden. "The Kona Crusher" ducks him, causing Ray to run the ropes and right into a Rebound Bicycle Knee Strike! Ray falls back against the ropes, slings forward, and gets hit with a snap T-Bone Suplex! Sennoa rolls to his feet and sees Seth trying to Springboard off the ropes. So Jaden catches him with a mid-air Samoan Drop!
Jazz: "This is just a one-sided beatdown! Sennoa is throwing Ray & Seth around like sandbags!"
Jay: "This is ridiculous! How can the ref officiate without there being a clear legal man!?"
Jazz: "Because both guys are getting destroyed right now!"
E-Baum watches in horror at the beatings Jaden gave out. Sennoa drags Seth on top of Ray. He looks at E-Baum, points to him, and does the Samoan throat slit! He then hooks both Ray & Seth… lifts them both up… and drops them with a Double Tidal Wave (Pumphandle Death Valley Driver)!
Jazz: "A 490LBS TIDAL WAVE FROM JADEN SENNOA! MY WORD WHAT POWER BY JADEN!"
Jay: "GOOD GOD THAT WAS BRUTAL!"
The crowd went NUTS! And Jaden hooks both of their legs while looking dead into E-Baum's terrified soul!
1!
….
2!
….

"Here is your winner by submission: JADEN SENNOA!"
Jazz: "I have NEVER seen someone lift 490lbs of two grown men, at the same time, with the ease that Jaden just did!"
Jay: "I don't even know what to say, Jazz… I'm just speechless…"
The crowd was still cheering for Jaden. E-Baum stands there, frozen in shock. Sennoa glares at him one last time before leaving the ring. He didn't look back at E-Baum, but instead marched to the back. E-Baum finally regained himself and rolled in the ring to check on his team…..until he was BLASTED with a wild V for Vendetta (V-Trigger) by a pissed off Furno Moxley!
Jazz: "It's Furno! Furno is here tonight! And he just knocked out E-Baum!"
Jay: "Oh NO! Not again with this!"
The crowd pops huge for Furno! But the Demolition Champion was in a VERY bitter mood, and he started laying into E-Baum with multiple punches! He lifts him up and FLOORS him with the Alpha & Omega (Blade Runner)! He pops back up and paces back & forth seething! Furno then looks into the camera. "JACOB!" Furno yells. "THIS AIN'T OVER BETWEEN US! THIS WON'T END UNTIL I BEAT THE BLOOD OUT OF YOU! YOU & ME AT UNBREAKABLE! DEMOLITION TITLE! I'M COMING TO RIP YOUR THROAT OUT!"
Furno then turns to E-Baum and grabs him. He dumps E-Baum out to the floor in front of the commentary table. The crowd cheers as Moxley starts clearing everything off the table! He then hooks E-Baum, lifts him up, and Powerbombs him through the announce table! The crowd pops HARD and chants "MOX-LEY!" Furno grabs his title and hops back into the crowd.
Jay: "JAZZ! IT HAPPENED AGAIN! THAT MADMAN FURNO JUST POWERBOMBED E-BAUM THROUGH OUR TABLE!"
Jazz: "He just sent a message to Jacob Uso loud & clear! Furno isn't finished with him after what went down in Miami! He wants another fight at Unbreakable, and he wants to put his Demolition Title on the line!"
Jay: "He's insane! He's running on unstable emotions and unbridled rage! Jacob Uso beat him before, and he put Aiden Black on the shelf! Now he wants to risk his Demolition Title!? It's a disaster waiting to happen!"
Jazz: "Well Furno has to go through Damien Crowe on Training Ground for the ICW Demolition Championship! I'm concerned that he's too focused on Jacob that he could lose the title beforehand! But we'll just have to wait & see how this all develops. Still to come tonight, we have the first ever mixed tag match in ICW with Katarina Love & Chris Owens taking on La Rebelion's Sofia Reynoso & Phoenix! And in the main event, a non title match between Mark Jacobs & DJ Kingston! The twist? Jason Sabre is the guest referee!"
Jay: "Yeah but coming up, we'll hear from Revolution one week after attacking The Wayne Bros at Showdown in the Sun!"
The screen cuts to the women's locker room with a close-up face shot of Kirsi Halonen in agony!
Kirsi: "Oh dear…the pain! The unimaginable pain! The agony is too much to bear! I think….I think I can see the light! This…this looks like the end, girls!"
The screen zooms out to show Kirsi sitting in a wheelchair with bandages wrapped around her arm, leg, and her forehead. Daria sits next to her, full of concern. And Alexandra leans against the wall, her arms folded and shaking her head.
Alexandra: "For the fifteenth time, Kirsi…will you PLEASE stop pretending you're about to die!?"
Kirsi: "It's so cold…" she says, reaching out into the air. "Grandma…is that you…?"
Alexandra just rubbed her face in frustration. Daria just held Kirsi's hand and tried to comfort her.
Daria: "Shhh. Conserve your energy, Kirsi…it'll be okay…"
Alexandra: "Daria…." She sighs. "WHY are you encouraging her nonsense!?"
Daria: "She's been through a lot, Alexandra… I can't imagine the agony she has to endure right now…" Daria says gently brushing her hair.
Alexandra: "Oh for fu-" she groans. "Need I remind you two about that time in Japan? Kirsi went through a flaming table covered in thumbtacks …and checked herself out of the hospital ten minutes later just to get some sushi!?"
Kirsi: She coughs and mumbles. "Those spring rolls….they were delicious…."
Daria: "Yes they were, Kirsi." She grips Kirsi's hand tightly and whispers. "Yes they were…"
Alexandra: "This is ridiculous…" she says to herself while shaking her head.
Kirsi: "Daria…need food…M&Ms….BBQ chips….and a soda…."
Daria: "Say less." She says, full of determination.
Without a second thought, Daria gets up and sprints out of the room! Alexandra looks at the exit in disbelief before turning back to Kirsi.
Alexandra: "You're so full of it, Kirsi.…" she says, shaking her head.
Kirsi gives a tiny smirk as the screen fades to black…
((Ad Break))
The screen comes back to Alexis Espinoza in her office. While she looks over some paperwork, she hears a knock on her door.
Alexis: "Come in." She says without looking up.
The door opens and Freddy Escobar & Detrick Cyrus walk in. Seeing them, Alexis sets her paperwork to the side.
Alexis: "Freddy. Detrick. Come in. And feel free to take a seat."
Freddy closes the door behind them as they take a seat across her table.
Alexis: "I know you two asked for time to see me. How can I help you guys?"
Freddy & Detrick look at each other and then back at Espinoza.
Detrick: "Well, boss, thanks for seeing us. All we want to ask you is-"
Freddy: "We want a shot at the Tag Titles." Freddy says, interrupting Detrick.
Detrick: He sighs. "Yeah, pretty much. We want to face CJ & Katashi for their titles."
Alexis looks at the two brothers closely.
Alexis: "You know I can't just give you two a title shot like that. I need to consider other teams as well."
Freddy: "We get that, Ms. Espinoza. But they made it personal against us by attacking Mateo and choking him half to death."
Detrick: He nods. "Look, I know Mateo doesn't seem the most trustworthy guy, but he's still our familia. We look out for each other. That's why even when Freddy was being a douche-"
Freddy: "HEY!" He says, causing Alexis to chuckle.
Detrick: "-I still wanted us to team up. Because at the end of the day, he's still mi hermanõ. Just like Mateo is still our primo. And seeing what CJ did to him…" Detrick goes quiet.
Freddy: He speaks up again. "It hurts. It pissed us off. Seeing someone we considered a best friend do that to a family member, we can't let that slide. Hell, we're NOT gonna let that slide! We just want your permission to go after them, take their titles, and get some revenge."
Alexis sits there for a moment, letting their words sink in her mind.
Alexis: "Like I said. I can't just give you two a title shot like that." She sighs. "However, considering how CJ & Katashi won the titles to begin with as well as their recent actions, especially to Mateo…I think you guys have probable cause for a shot. So at Unbreakable, you two are gonna face Katashi & CJ for the tag titles."
Freddy: He breathes a sigh of relief. "I can't even begin to thank you enough, Alexis-"
Alexis: "Ms. Espinoza!" She says sternly. "Don't get it twisted. I'm still your boss here, so I expect you two to produce great results and make the most out of this rare opportunity. Not just for Mateo, but for yourselves. Understood?"
Both Detrick & Freddy nod in understanding. But as he & Freddy get up to leave, Detrick stops. He pauses for a moment and turns to face Alexis.
Detrick: "One final request. I want to face CJ. Next week. One-on-one."
Alexis: She thinks for a few seconds before nodding. "Alright, Detrick. Consider it done. Next week, on the last final Battlefield before Unbreakable, it'll be Detrick Cyrus versus CJ Hawk, for the first time ever, in the main event."
Detrick nods as he leaves the room. Freddy looks back at Alexis before leaving as the screen cuts to ringside.
Jazz: "So the matches have been made official. At Unbreakable, La Familia will have a chance at payback when they go for the tag titles against CJ Hawk & Katashi Suzuki! But next week, on the final Battlefield before Unbreakable, CJ & Detrick, two long time friends, will face-off in singles competition for the first time ever."
Jay: "This ain't the CJ with the close bond with Detrick & Freddy. This is the CJ who injured their cousin, Mateo. There won't be any friendly competition between them next week…and ESPECIALLY at Unbreakable with the titles on the line!"
The Revolution logo suddenly appears on screen as the signal goes off! The crowd couldn't help but get excited as Unstoppable (by Motionless in White) plays! And out walks Ava Knight, Clay Marrow with his camera, Christian McIntyre, and an uncaring Sai Russo on stage. Ava looks back at the destruction Azriel & Stone made before smirking and continues to walk.
Jay: "Everytime I see Revolution, I get extremely nervous."
Jazz: "I get it. Last week, Revolution made their next targets known by attacking an already beaten Wayne Bros. For days, people have speculated why, and the Revolution has promised to make their intentions known to the world."
As Revolution makes it to ringside, they slowly make their way to the commentary table. As Christian storms up to them, Jay & Jazz immediately back away.
Jazz: "Stand with us or fall with them!"
Jay: "Y-Yeah! We're standing with Revolution!"
Ava looks at them for a second before turning to enter the ring. Clay gives an approving nod as he & Sai roll in the ring. Christian slowly backs away while staring both of the commentators down. He soon climbs in the ring and stands next to the others. While a few of the crowd members boo, a very large majority cheered and chanted "REV-OL-U-TION!" Clay smiles and talks.
Clay: "Ladies & gentlemen! The Revolution IS LIVE!"
There was a big pop from the crowd.
Clay: "Oh that's right, lads. Revolution is live and in color, on ICW Battlefield. For those sad saps who haven't caught on yet, lemme catch you up to speed! We are an idea. We are a belief. We are the change. Change from what? From the old ways of thinking! Revolution is the future that this business needs to happen!"
Clay pauses as the "REV-OL-U-TION" chants continue.
Clay: "But we aren't without our doubters. Chris Blade was the first to stand against us. And we sent him falling all the way to Training Grounds, a broken shell of a man! Carson Michaels? Just her presence alone nearly set back our progress, so we made sure she didn't show her face here again! And at Showdown in the Sun, we made our acquaintance known to Derrick & Devin, the Wayne Bros."
The crowd reacts mildly to hearing The Wayne Bros.
Clay: "Now, I'm sure most of you can't help but scratch your heads, asking 'Why them? What did they ever do to deserve a beating from the Revolution?"
Ava stops Clay and asks for the mic. Clay smiles and hands it to her. Ava looks around as the crowd chants "A-VA! A-VA!"
Ava: "Let me explain." She says with a calm tone. "Cast your minds back to Immortality 2. The night Revolution arrived. That same night, The Wayne Bros became ICW Tag Team Champions. I'll give them credit, those boys earned it that night. They worked hard to gain a chance, and they made the most of it. I'm not taking that away, they got beaten down, tossed around, yet kept working until they reached the top of the tag team division."
The crowd responds with a nice clap.
Ava: "But it's while being at the top do we see a person's true self. And as tag champions, the Wayne Bros revealed themselves to be self-righteous ego maniacs. Their 'Tag Team Renaissance?' Nothing but a ploy to make themselves better than all those around them. Those two, as lovable as they can be, are nothing more than false idols. Their ego….their pride…is what leather to carelessly lose grip on their position at the top. And now the division they spent so much time wanting to get better is now in an even worse shape than when they began."
Ava: "What we needed was never a Renaissance…but a Revolution. And it's not just the tag division. Singles, women, men, it doesn't matter. Proper change is needed everywhere. In the way we think… how we feel… in what we do, Revolution is going to change how everything is done. And in this Revolution, the Wayne Bros are no longer needed."
The cheers and "REV-OL-U-TION" chants start back up.
Ava: "Now, I can understand their frustrations. They may not even understand what, exactly, is going on aside from the fact that they were attacked. In their minds, all they care about is revenge. And we've dealt with people like them to know they won't give up until their bodies give in. Instead, we're going to give Derrick & Devin a chance to try & stop us. Next week, boys, you'll have your one moment to stop the Revolution."
Ava: "But understand this. And I mean really absorb what we're about to tell you: when your moment is gone, Revolution is going to break you. Physically, mentally, emotionally, you will not be getting up. Your renaissance will be broken. And you will fall."
The crowd cheers. But Christian gets in front of the cameraman and grabs him, yelling.
Christian: "YOU! WILL! FALL! BOTH OF YOU WILL FALL!"
Ava holds Christian's shoulder, signaling to let him go. Christian drops him and leaves the ring. Sai lazily rolls out as well. Clay follows them out as Ava looks down at the fallen cameraman. She smiles and mouths "Stand with us or fall with them. "
Jay: "I know you like the Wayne Bros, Jazz. But Derrick & Devin are targeted guys. I hope for their safety they don't make the dumbest decision and try to fight against Revolution."
Jazz: "I want to agree with you, Jay. But The Wayne Bros. don't crumble that easily. Almost to a fault. I fully expect them to- WAIT A MINUTE!"
When Ava turns around to leave, a hooded figure runs from the crowd and in the ring! They spin Ava around… and Superkicks her in the face! Clay & Christian sees this and sprints after them as the figure bails out! They leap back into the crowd just before Christian could reach them! The figure runs up to the top of the stairs as Sai finally turns around and sees what's going on. They stop to turn back, take off their hood….and reveal to be "The Heartbreak Chick" Carson Michaels!
Jay: "JAZZ LOOK! IT'S CARSON! SHE'S BACK!"
Jazz: "CARSON MICHAELS JUST KNOCKED OUT AVA WITH THE SHATTERED EXPECTATIONS!"
The crowd, shocked at the sight of Carson, started booing her! Sai lazily makes it to the ring as Clay checks on Ava and helps her up. Christian stands there, glaring angrily at Carson, who watches Ava bitterly. Ava slowly turns at where Carson went just as she leaves through the audience exit.
Jazz: "The Heartbreak Chick returned with a hit-&-run attack to Ava Knight!"
Jay: "You talk about returning with a bang! Carson hasn't forgotten what Ava & Revolution did to her! And Carson wanted to return the favor!"
Jazz: "Carson may have just started a war with Revolution that may come back to haunt her! Speaking of wars, still to come tonight in our main event is the non-title match between Mark Jacobs & DJ Kingston… with Jason Sabre as the special referee! But coming up next, it's ICW's first ever Mixed Tag Team Match as Katarina Love & Chris Owens face off against Phoenix & Sofia Reynoso of La Rebelion!"
((Ad Break))
The screen cuts backstage to Jason Sabre walking. He gives a frustrated sigh as he walks past the infirmary. However, Asher Darma, upon seeing Jason, limps out of the infirmary and goes up to The Ace of Pro Wrestling.
Asher: "MR. ACE OF SABRES!"
Jason: He stops but doesn't turn to face Darma. "Hello, Asher" he says in a deadpan tone while removing his sunglasses. "How are you doing today"
Asher: "Oh I held on to the championship of the North American countries but was overwhelmed by the Promotion on Holiday. But when I heard you were about to be a referee I knew I must give you some advice."
He reveals a book that reads "Asher Darma's Rules of Official Officiating" along with a custom referee t-shirt. Jason takes the book and flips through it.
Jason: "Asher…this book is in Pujari."
Asher: "Oh I am well aware. It is a book I want to send to the people of India to read in the classrooms. And if you would like to I can demonstrate the official officiating of the searching pat down. As well as the art of the official loud number count. And here on the page number twelve-"
Jason: "Look, Asher." He interrupts. "I appreciate the- ummm… advice. But to be completely honest, the last thing I want to do is be a referee between two guys I want to punch in the face." He hands Asher his custom official officiating shirt back to him."
?: "I had a feeling you would say that, Mr. Sabre!"
Sabre groans in annoyance as the cameras turn to reveal Evan Neal with a smirk.
Jason: "Neal I will pay you in Asher's book money to go away right now."
Asher: "I would be happy to assist in the book of official officiating for Mr. Neally Evans."
Neal: "Now, now, gentlemen. I must respectfully decline because I have an offer for you, Sabre. Tonight, you will indeed be the official referee in the main event between Mark Jacobs & DJ Kingston."
Jason: "...So what's stopping me from turning and taking a personal day off?"
Neal: "Well, think of this as a way to staying close to Nattie-"
Hearing this, Jason immediately drops his bag, grabs Evan by his shirt, and pins him against the wall.
Jason: "Now tell me why I shouldn't put you through this goddamn wall right now!"
Evan: "O-okay! Okay! Completely out of line! I-If you referee the match and call it down the middle, I-I can suspend the clause against you getting your hands on DJ next week!"
Jason pauses for a moment. He thinks about it and lets Evan go. Sabre looks at Darma, who holds up his official officiating referee shirt with a smile.
Jason sighs and takes the shirt before walking away. The screen soon cuts back to ringside.
Jazz: "Well, if there would be any reason for Sabre to actually referee the match, it certainly would be to get his hands on DJ Kingston."
Jay: "But can Jason really keep his own ego in check, Jazz? I wouldn't be surprised if he said 'Screw this' and started beating up both guys!"
Jazz: "And risk losing a potential opportunity at the Heavyweight Title? I highly doubt that."
Jay: "Just wait. It'll happen, Jazz!"
Jazz: "Before we get through that match, he has to go through this match!"
7 Rings (by Ariana Grande) plays. The arena turns dark as a lone spotlight shines on to the stage. Katarina soon strutted out on stage, a huge cocky grin on her face, before modeling her outfit a bit. She then heads down the ramp while the crowd boos her. Katarina goes around to the left side of the ring, hopping up on the apron and going through the middle rope. She walks straight to the turnbuckle, climbs on top of it and poses one more time.
"The following contest is a Mixed Tag Team Match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: KATARINA LOVE!"
Jazz: "The last time we saw Katarina on Battlefield was in a losing effort against Sofia for the WFA Women's Title. But her pursuit over titles and glory hasn't faltered yet."
Jay: "You're absolutely correct, Jazz! I heard about Love brutally attacking Abby Torres on Training Ground! And would go on to comment about, saying 'I ain't finished with Sofia or her title. One way or another, I will be champion!'
Jazz: "What a chance this'll prove to be for Katarina then. A big win over Sofia can propel her far to the top!"
Let Em Come (by Scroobius Pip) plays to even louder boos. A bitter Chris Owens walks out onto the stage and looks around. He squatted down and patted the stage floor before he bounced back up and raised his arms up in pre-match victory while he let out an angry scream. Chris then walks down the ramp and storms inside the ring. Once he was inside, he airboxed the air before he finished it off with an elbow like taunt.
"Introducing her tag team partner, from Manchester, England, standing 6'6" & weighing 255lbs, he is the ICW International Champion by name: 'Wrestling's Worst Nightmare' CHRIS OWENS!"
Before Chris could even yell, the announcer bolts out of the ring. Owens just pulls at his own hair while banging his head against the turnbuckle. Katarina pats him on the shoulders, feeling bad for him.
Jazz: "Chris Owens is in a foul mood tonight after what happened last week! He thought he outsmarted everyone with a Double Countout loss, but Phoenix proved that nothing was gonna stop him from being champion!"
Jay: "You mean STEALING that title from Owens, Jazz! If anyone is a victim here, it's the British Prize Fighter! This man should be compensated for everything he's gone through!"
Jazz: "His compensation is being put in this match! He better make the most of it!"
Run This Town (by Jay-Z and RIhanna ft. Kanye West) soon plays to a HUGE pop! Out walks Sofia & Phoenix through the La Rebelion entrance through the crowd. They both raise the International & WFA Women's Title to a big pop before clicking them together! Phoenix & Sofia walk past a group of kids holding up a custom made 'La Rebelion' banner. So they decide to kneel down and hold up the banner with them. They soon climb over the barricade and into the ring before posing on the top turnbuckle with the titles.
"Introducing their opponents, representing La Rebelion: the holder of the ICW International Champion, 'The Bird of War' PHOENIX & the WFA Women's Champion 'As Feminino' SOFIA REYNOSO!"
Jazz: "Although Jesus Garza fell to Mark Jacobs last week, it was still a hell of a night for La Rebelion as a whole! Sofia retained her title against Kailene Starr, and Phoenix with the highlight reel of the night, took back possession of the International Title-"
Jay: "HE STOLE IT AGAIN, JAZZ! PHOENIX KEEPS STEALING FROM OWENS AND IT HAS TO STOP!"
Jazz: "Possession is nine-tenths of the law. Maybe Owens should try to win a match instead of running for the hills."
Sofia & Katarina start off as the bell rings. The crowd were all behind Reynoso with chants of "SO-FI-A!" Katarina looks around in disgust and gets right in Sofia's face. Sofia doesn't back down, asking if Katarina wants to take another beating. The two of them began to talk trash until Love threw the first forearm strike! Sofia looks up and strikes with one of her own, and the two begin to trade punches! The crowd cheers as Sofia stuns Katarina until she gets blasted in the face with a Big Boot by Love. Katarina taunts Sof as the crowd boos her. She then picks her up and Whips her across the ring. But Reynoso counter whips. Katarina runs into a Discus Elbow that knocks her to the ropes. Sofia runs and hits a stiff Yakuza Kick, sending Love over the ropes and to the floor! Chris Owens runs in, but Phoenix hits him with a Springboard Blockbuster! Chris stumbles back up as "The Bird of War" hits a Spin Kick! He kicks him up and finishes with a Step Up Enziguri, knocking Owens to the ropes. Sofia & Phoenix both nod and Double Dropkick Chris out of the ring and next to Katarina on the floor!
Jazz: "Phoenix & Sofia are in firm control in the opening minutes of this mixed tag match!"
Jay: "Owens & Katarina need to somehow get on the same page to match the experience Phoenix & Sofia have when it comes to working together!"
The crowd cheers as Phoenix & Sofia get them amped up! They both run the ropes and attempt a simulation Dive…but get caught by Owens and Katarina! Love tackles Sofia into the barricade while Owens slams Phoenix into the ring post! They both then began to taunt the booing crowd. Chris then grabs Phoenix and throws him over the barricade into the timekeeper area! Katarina, meanwhile, grabs Sofia and tosses her into the steps! She then rolls Sofia back in the ring before sliding in. Love starts kicking Reynoso before lifting her up. She knees her in the gut a few times before hitting a Bridging Fisherman Suplex!
1!
….
2! KICKOUT!
Jazz: "Sofia gets a two-count after enduring a brutal assault by Katarina! All while Phoenix was thrown around by the International Champion by name!"
Jay: "Now that's how you counter experience with teamwork! Isolation and pure domination!"
Katarina picks up Sofia and stuns her with a Forearm to the face. She lifts Reynoso in the Military Press and walks around the ring. After showing off her power, Love hits the Military Press Slam. Katarina, snapping her fingers, runs and attempts a Springboard Corner Moonsault! But Sofia rolls out the way, and Love crashes down hard! Sofia gets up as Katarina gets to her knees, and Reynoso hits her with the Sliding Forearm! As both women lay there, Owens calls for a tag! And from the other side, Phoenix leaps from the timekeeper's area, from the barricade, and back on the apron! And both women make the tag to their partners!
Chris runs in, but Phoenix hits the Springboard Dropkick that knocks him into the corner. Phoenix then runs & hits Rope Walk Spinning Heel Kick. He tosses Chris out of the corner, leaps up, and goes for the Stylin DDT! But Chris reverses into a Vertical Suplex! Phoenix fights out and lands behind, however! He then ducks under and hits the Pele Kick, knocking him down! The crowd pops for the "Bird of War!"
Jazz: "Phoenix, like a raging inferno, is taking it straight to Chris Owens!"
Jay: "On top of robbery, this is a criminal assault happening in front of us, Jazz!"
Phoenix runs the ropes, but Owens gets up and runs behind. When Phoenix turns around, Chris hits him with a brutal Lariat! Phoenix gets turned inside out…and lands on his feet! He then runs and hits the Springboard Cutter! And both guys are down… that is until Phoenix kips up! He then leaps onto the apron and waits for Chris to stand! Getting the crowd hyped, Phoenix attempts the Eyes of the Inferno (Springboard Front Flip Leg Drop to a bent over opponent)! But Chris catches Phoenix on his shoulders! He backs up enough for Katarina to tag in! She climbs to the top rope, and they hit Phoenix with a Crossbody/Powerbomb combination! They soon make the cover

…BREAK-UP!
Sofia runs in and breaks up the pin!
Jay: "What a double team move that was by Chris & Katarina! That would've been three had Sofia not ruined it!"
Jazz: "As Feminino saves the match for herself and Phoenix and keeps this crowd alive!"
The crowd pops for Sofia making the save, but Katarina grabs and dumps her out of the ring. She then picks up Phoenix and manages to Gorilla Press him in the air! But Phoenix manages to escape and land behind! He backs away to the ropes as Sofia gets a sneak tag! When Love turns around, Phoenix runs, ducks past her, and hits a Triangle Kick to Owens! Chris goes down to the floor! In the ring, Sofia runs behind Katarina and hits a Snap Full Nelson Suplex! She rolls up and goes for another Sliding Lariat! But Katarina ducks it! As they scramble to their feet, Katarina grabs Sofia's legs, tripping her, and applying the Liontamer! Phoenix runs in, but Chris grabs him and locks in the King's Crown (Cloverleaf)!
Jazz: "A Liontamer AND a King's Crown in the middle of the ring!"
Jay: "This is it for La Rebelion!"
The crowd screams for Phoenix & Sofia to not submit! But Katarina and Owens both had their submissions locked in tight! But finally, Sofia managed to roll back over and punch Love! She stuns her enough to push her free! Love crashes into Owens and goes down, but "Wrestling's Worst Nightmare" keeps the hold locked in! Sofia pulls herself up and walks in front of Owens. She then hits him with a stiff Forearm Strike! But Chris doesn't let the hold go! As he turns to face her, she hits another Forearm Shot to the face! Chris Owens willingly lets Phoenix go of the submission and stands face-to-face with Sofia!
Jazz: "Oh lord… this is gonna get hard-hitting real quick!"
Jay: "Sofia better step back before she gets put down by Wrestling's Worst Nightmare!"
Jazz: "That's not happening, Jay! Sofia's ready to throw hands!"
The crowd went MENTAL as Chris and Sofia stared each other down! The 6'6" man towered over 5'6" woman, but Sofia didn't back down an inch. Chris scoffs and says "You think you can throw knuckles with me, mate?!" Sofia, without any hesitation, replies "Size don't mean shit to me, perro. You don't scare me." Chris smirks…and then BLASTS her with a loud Knife Edge Chop! The crowd gasps as Sofia stumbles far back, clutching her chest. After taking a deep breath, Sofia smirks, cracks her neck, and hits an even stiffer Forearm! Chris doesn't budge, but instead hits another loud Chop that sounded like a gunshot! Sofia stumbles back again, but walks forward and hits yet another Brutal Forearm! Owens rubs his mouth, cracks his neck, and STRIKES her with a hard Chop that knocks the sweat off her body! Sofia leans against the ropes, but shakes her head in defiance! She then charges at Owens with a NASTY Palm Strike across the face & neck! Sofia then hits a Backfist followed by a Forearm and a flurry of Chops! The crowd comes alive…until Chris hits a Forearm that stuns Sofia! Chris lifts her up, but Sofia pops up and hits a WICKED Headbutt! This knocks Chris back slightly, so she hits another Headbutt! And another! She sprints across the ring and hits a Battering Ram Heabutt! And she knocks Chris out of the ring to a HUGE ovation!
Jazz: "Sofia just BLASTED Chris Owens out of the ring with one of the stiffest and wildest Headbutts I ever seen!"
Jay: "That woman isn't human, Jazz! No person should be that hard-headed to the point of knocking someone like Chris Owens out!"
But as Sofia stands up, Katarina runs in and hits another Big Boot! The crowd boos as Love taunts Sofia even more! She picks her up and Whips her across the ring. Phoenix gets a blind tag as Sof runs and ducks Love. Sofia turns and hits her with a Discus Clothesline! She then grabs Katarina, lifts her up, and hits the Bucklebomb! This was followed by the Spanish Fly from Phoenix! And he makes the cover on Love!

thr-BREAKUP!
Chris JUST made it back in to break up the pin! Sofia grabs Chris and starts punching him repeatedly! She tries to whip him, but "Wrestling's Worst Nightmare" counter whips. On the rebound, Chris grabs Sofia and hits an insane Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex! He gets up, yelling a battle shout! He forces her back up and attempts the Death by Elbow (Wrist lock transitioned into a High Impact Elbow Smash)! But Sofia blocks it, grabs both arms, and strikes HARD with the Arm Trap Headbutt! Owens was stunned! Phoenix runs, and as Sofia pops him up, he hits the Blaze of Glory (Springboard Paydirt)!
Jazz: "Insane action after insane action! And what a move by Phoenix & Sofia!"
As Phoenix and Sofia kick him out of the ring, they turn around…and Katarina hits BOTH with a Double On the Prowl (Spear)!
Jay: "And what a move by Katarina to take out both of them! This could be the end!"
She gets up with a tense and angry expression. She then lifts Phoenix AND Sofia onto her shoulders and signals for a Double KatBuster (F-5)! But Phoenix & Sofia both fought free and landed behind her. She turns around and eats a Superkick/Headbutt combination! With Love stunned, Sofia lifts her up in the Gory Special. Phoenix superkicks Katarina in the face, and Sofia follows up with The Gran Final (Weapon X)! As Sofia goes for the pin, Phoenix runs and hits a Springboard Shooting Press onto Owens! And the crowd went NUTS!

"Here are your winners: PHOENIX & SOFIA REYNOSO!"
Jazz: "And just like that, La Rebelion picks up the win in an action-packed, first time Mixed Tag Team Match in ICW!"
Jay: "Winners aside, this was an insane bout between both teams! The only problem is that THE THIEF PHOENIX IS STILL GETTING AWAY WITH HIS CRIMES!"
The crowd was going nuts! Sofia stumbles to her feet as Phoenix rolls back in with the International & WFA Women's Titles! He hands it to Sofia as the referee raises their hands in victory! However, Phoenix soon goes over and climbs to the top rope, staring down at Owens while holding the International Title! Sofia rolls out and grabs some cue cards hidden under the ring. Owens, leaning against the barricade defeated, looks up at Phoenix holding his signs.
"Chris Owens!"
"At Showdown in the Sun…"
"You tried to take the title."
"And you wanted to run."
"You can't run from me."
"You can't hide from me."
"If you want the title back…."
"You're gonna have to fight me…"
"Not on the ground…."
"But above the skies!"
"One more time…at (he shows the logo for ICW Unbreakable)..."
"Chris Owens (with a photo of Chris) VS Phoenix (with a Photo of Phoenix)"
"International Championship"
They flip the sign over, and in all red, it reads:
"IN A LADDER MATCH!"
The crowd pops HUGE! And Chris Owens is LIVID! He slowly pulls himself to his feet, leaning over the barricade. He grabs at his hair and screams. Chris turns and points to Phoenix, yelling "YOU WANT IT, MATE!? YOU GOT IT! I'LL FIGHT YOU IN A LADDER MATCH!" The crowd cheers as he storms away. Sofia smirks as Phoenix stays at the top, holding up the International Title! Sofia soon climbs up across from him and holds up her WFA Women's Title.
Jazz: "What a challenge that's been made! Chris Owens VS Phoenix! One more time for the International Championship…. In a Ladder Match at ICW Unbreakable!"
Jay: "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? A LADDER MATCH!? HE WANTS OWENS IN A LADDER MATCH!?"
Jazz: "No more running! No more hiding! If Owens wants possession of his title back, he's gonna have to reach for the skies and drag it down himself!"
Jay: "THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!"
((Ad Break))
The screen cuts back to Kirsi & Alexandra. Kirsi is still wailing in agony while Alexandra is sitting there with the most unamused look on her face.
Kirsi: "Oh…my poor aching body…the pain…the emptiness I feel…."
Alexandra: "Kirsi…" she sighs. "That's just you being hungry again."
Kirsi: "Alexandra…the pain…it feels so empty… so cold…"
Alexandra: She groans loudly. "Daria if you don't hurry back with this food." She mumbles to herself.
A knock on the door soon interrupts the two.
Alexandra: "Finally" She says getting up "Alright, drama queen. Daria's here to give you your snacks now" Alexandra goes to open the door "Good. You're ba-"
The door was suddenly kicked in Alexandra's face! Kirsi looks up to see an irate Angelica Rhodes at the door! Angelica grabs Alexandra and tosses her into Kirsi, knocking her out of the chair! Angelica grabs Alexandra again and SMASHES her face into the door, knocking her out! She turns to Kirsi, who tries to crawl towards Alexandra. But she drags her by the hair out of the room. Angelica then lifts up the smaller woman… and SLAMS her into one of the garage doors! Kirsi goes down HARD!
But "The American Princess" wasn't done! She then grabs one of the crates, runs, and SLAMS it into Kirsi! As she steps back, security runs over and keeps them apart. But Angelica goes over and continues to kick and stomp on Kirsi!
Suddenly, Daria appears speeding towards her! Angelica got up and made a quick exit to the door! As she runs away, Daria immediately checks on Kirsi & and Alexandra, who both lay unconscious.
With Daria looking after them, the scene soon cuts back to ringside.
Jazz: "Another disgusting attack by Angelica… she's getting out of control while trying to target Daria's friends!"
Jay: "It's Daria's fault for putting her friends in jeopardy like this! She upset 'The American Princess' and now she and everyone around her has to suffer the consequences until Angelica gets what's always been hers!"
Jazz: "All she's doing is passing off Daria more and more! And trust me, a pissed off Daria is something no one can survive! We'll have to see what happens next week on the final episode before ICW Unbreakable! But right now, it's Main Event Time! And what a Main Event it is: it's Mark Jacobs VS DJ Kingston… with Jason Sabre as special referee!"
Lydia (by Highly Suspect) plays to LOUD boos! The lights go out for a few seconds. A faint spotlight soon appears with Mark Jacobs standing under it. As the lyrics begin, Jacobs unzips his jacket and reveals the Heavyweight Title around his waist. He looks up as the lights turn on with a flash. Mark looks around in disgust at the booing fans before slowly walking down to the ring. Climbing the steps, he stands onto the apron and turns towards the crowd with a scowl. He raises his hands on either side of him before holding up his title. He steps through the middle rope and gets to the center of the ring. Mark looks around before doing the Baneful throat slit with his title.
"The following contest is a non-title match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Brooklyn, New York, standing 6ft tall & weighing in at 215 lbs, he is the ICW Heavyweight Champion: 'The Bane of Existence' MARK JACOBS!"
Jazz: "Just a week after defending his Heavyweight Title, and right before he fights Chris Blade on Training Ground, Mark once again found himself in deep trouble because he could not stop running his mouth! He interrupts Natalia's interview and then threatens to kick DJ's ass tonight! And Alexis decided that it's open hunting season on Mark and put him in this match!"
Jay: "Everything Mark says has proven to be gospel! He said he was gonna beat Asher & Will to be champion. He did that. He said he was going 3-0 against La Rebelion, and he did. And now he said he's a better man than DJ or Jason, and he's gonna prove it tonight!"
As Mark sits against the corner and waits, Ghetto Symphony (by A$AP Rocky) plays with equally more boos! Out walks DJ Kingston with a spotlight shining on him as he makes his way to the ring. He leaps onto the apron, springboards into the ring, and lands in the middle of the ring in a kneeling position, arms spread as he soaks in the crowd's boos. DJ makes eye contact with Mark, who holds his title close and glares at him. DJ just smirks and soaks in the spotlight.
"Introducing his opponent, representing Generation M, from Honolulu, Hawaii, standing 5'11" & weighing in at 205 lbs: I'm required to announce him as 'The Astonishing Ace of Pro Wrestling' DJ KINGSTON!"
Jazz: "After last week, the match has been set! In the main event of ICW Unbreakable, it'll be DJ Kingston VS Jason Sabre, #1 Contender's 2-out-of-3 Falls Match for the ICW Heavyweight Championship…. All with Natalia Rodriguez as Special Guest Referee! And now here DJ is trying to soften up Mark ahead of his big match with Sabre!"
Jay: "We have to remember: this is IF Sabre doesn't lay a hand on DJ Kingston! What an Astonishing Ace Level IQ play to have everything go his way! And now here he is, ready to send a direct message not just to Sabre, but to his opponent and the Heavyweight Champion himself!"
As DJ & Mark stood at opposite corners from each other, the crowd chanted "YOU BOTH SUCK!"
"And now! Ladies & gentlemen, please welcome the Special Guest Referee for our main event: 'The Ace of Pro Wrestling' JASON SABRE!"
Weight of my Pride (by Pay Money to my Pain) plays to a HUGE ovation! The Beginning instrumentals kick in. Lights matching his color scheme for the night (One side for one color and the other side for the color) starts flashing. As the lyrics near, smoke shoots up from the sides of the stage. And Jason Sabre appears wearing an Asher Darma "Official Officiating" referee shirt. He takes a moment to soak up the reception and survey the crowd but keeps his composure. Jason walks down the ramp and pulls out a security bag. He rolls it in the ring and climbs to the top turnbuckle. Jason does his gun taunt to a LOUD ovation. 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 again. The lights go back up and he surveys the crowd again, before the music fades. DJ & Mark look at him with disgust as the crowd chants "SA-BRE" repeatedly.
Jazz: "You talk about being put in a no-win scenario! Last week he was made to not put his hands on DJ until Unbreakable, then he was made to be the guest referee between him and Mark, and now he was told if he called it down the middle, the ban would be lifted and he can finally beat the Ace outta him!"
Jay: "That's the key, Jazz! Jason has to call it down the middle! But with the amount of egos in that ring, including his own, as well as his rising anger after each week, ain't no way Sabre would keep his composure long enough to call a clean match and declare a winner!"
As the crowd chants "SA-BRE," Jason goes into his back and pulls out a metal detector! He then walks over to a confused DJ. Sabre then begins to scan DJ with the metal detectors. He scans his arms until smashing it against his neck and armpit. DJ winced but Sabre said "Hey! Hey! As an official I'm checking for any illegal weapons!" He then scans down and around his legs before lifting up the detector and smashing it against DJ's nuts! Jason gets up and says "He's clean!" And the crowd laughed as DJ held on to his jewels in agony.
Jay: "What the hell was that, Jazz!? What kind of shakedown was that supposed to be!?"
Jazz: "Jason was only following the rules, Jay. He just had to make sure DJ wasn't carrying any weapons on him. DJ just needs to relax. That's all"
The crowd continues to cheer for Jason as he turns to face Mark. He walks over and demands Mark to give him the title. Mark looks at it…and holds it right in Jason's face! Everyone boos, but Jason doesn't move a muscle. He just stands there with a smirk before Mark shoves it in his chest. Sabre takes it and chuckles. He goes to hand it off… but then turns and holds up the Heavyweight Title! The crowd pops LOUD as DJ looks on in disgust! Seeing Sabre holding it up like that pissed off Mark to no end! Jason then holds it in front of DJ, who points at him and the title!
But from behind, Mark runs over and KICKS Sabre below the belt! And Sabre immediately goes down clutching his sack!
Jazz: "What the heck!?"
Jay: "OOHHH! Mark just kicked Jason square in the nuts!
The crowd was shocked! And they began booing Mark out of the building! DJ stood there just as surprised. And Mark proceeds to attack Jason repeatedly! He picks up his title and yells at Sabre "THIS IS MINE! AIN'T NOBODY TAKING THIS FROM ME! ESPECIALLY NOT YOU!" Mark sets the title down, lifts up Jason to his knees by his arms, and BLASTS him with the Comatose (Kamigoye)! Sabre slumps against him, so Mark hooks the arms and drops him with the Baneful Ways (Double Underhook DDT into a Reverse DDT)! The crowd boos as Mark looks down at the unconscious Sabre!
Jazz: "That was so uncalled for! Mark just wiped out Jason Sabre!"
Jay: "Sabre was parading around as if he was already champion! Mark saw that as the ultimate disrespect to his property, and made sure Sabre wouldn't pull that stunt again!"
As he grabs his title, Mark looks over at DJ. He walks up to him and they go eye-to-eye again. "You beat him." Mark says pointing to Jason. "Then you and I will really settle this. Until then, he's all yours." Mark soon turns and leaves the ring, not looking back. Mark instead holds up his title to loud boos. In the ring, DJ watches Mark leave then looks down at Sabre. With a smirk, DJ rolls out and grabs a chair. He rolls back in and is about to strike….until Natalia runs in! She gets in front of DJ and asks him to stop! "It's not worth it!" She says to him. "It's not…worth it…"
Jazz: "Natalia stopping DJ from attacking Jason is something I never thought I would see…."
Jay: "Natalia is looking out for the match and for DJ! She'd rather have DJ wait until Unbreakable!"
Jazz: "Oh you be quiet!"
The crowd were not happy at the sight of Natalia pleading to DJ. But "The Astonishing One" smirks and sets the chair over Jason. He takes a seat and looks down at the fallen Ace of Pro Wrestling. "I'm gonna wait until Unbreakable to strike you down. I'm the Ace of Pro Wrestling now, Sabre! And I'll be sure that Natalia is the one who puts it into your head once & for all! And when I'm done with you, then I will be the next ICW Heavyweight Champion!" DJ sits there with his arms out, proud of himself. The crowd boos as Natalia looks regretful with the sight in front of her.
Jazz: "I don't even know what to say…Mark attacking Jason, Natalia defending Jason and pleading with DJ, this is quickly becoming personal between Jason and Kingston!"
Jay: "Jason thought he could make a few slapstick comedies and parade with a title that wasn't his! But reality bit him in the worst way possible! And now it's DJ with the huge mental edge going to Unbreakable!
Jazz: "We'll have to see what Neal and Alexis have to say about all of this next week on the final episode before Unbreakable! Until then, I'm Jazz Conway with Jay Masters, until then….we'll see you all next time!"
