Before the show….

Everything went static-y. A sign soon appears saying:

The Revolution Will Be Live:

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

We then cut to Clay Marrow holding the camera to his face as he makes his way down the halls. He has a big grin on his face.

Clay: "And WE! ARE! LIVE! Welcome back to the Revolution! This is Clay Marrow speaking and when I tell you we have a special day today! Because tonight is the debut of ICW WARZONE! After MONTHS of careful planning and scouting, our most ambitious move has finally come to fruition! A new space of operation for Revolution to spread even further across ICW! And I know you guys are itching to see what we're gonna do next! Clay nearly snickers. "Well, anything important that is. Apparently, we have a match with… uhhhh…"

Clay comes to a stop and scratches his head. He looks down, visibly confused.

Clay: "What were their names again…what was it…A-HA! It was E.R.S!" Clay shakes his head. "Wait wait wait! One of them quit… it was with double something…OH RIGHT! 'Double Ds' Danielle Rose is gonna be there! And between you and me-" He looks around then back at the camera. "I would LOVE for Danielle to join Revolution! I know Ava can be a bit ... .territorial when it comes to other women in Revolution BUT just imagine her modeling in one of our brand new merch! Which is on sale now online and your local retail stores, so get yours today! As for what tonight brings…that's what we're about to find out now!"

Clay walks up to Revolution HQ. He knocks a couple of times before walking in. The camera shifts to reveal Ava Knight and Sai Russo sitting on the couch while Christian McIntyre sits in the large chair. Ava looks up to see Clay walk in.

Ava: "You made it."

Clay: "Yeah sorry for being late. Had to make sure another shipment of our merch gets out to the Revolutionaries." He walks over to where everyone else is. "SO! Tonight's the big night! Warzone is up and running! Combine that with the declaration about the big guy going for the Heavyweight Title, Revolution is buzzing once again! And everyone wants to know what our next move is!"

Ava looks over at Christian who remains smoking. She then looks at Sai lying there. And then back at Clay.

Ava: "We're going to do something different for Warzone tonight. The plan is…to do nothing."

Clay: He turns the camera back to himself! "You all heard it here first! Revolution is going to do nothing!" A second after he said that, realization sets in as he turns back to Ava. "Wait… nothing?"

Ava: "Nothing."

Clay: "...Nothing."

Ava: "Yes, nothing."

Clay: "..Big lad, did she say-"

Christian: "She said nothing."

Clay: "This sounds like it was Sai's idea!"

Ava: "It was."

Clay: "...Huh."

Ava: "To be exact, we'll be keeping a close eye on everything going on tonight, especially whatever happens between Mark Jacobs and Jason Sabre. But don't worry. Our presence will still be felt tonight. For now…come sit and let's watch how things unfold."

Ava scoots over and offers Clay a seat on the couch. Clay turns the camera back to his face and shrugs.

Clay: "Well, you heard the lady! Revolution's gonna take a chill day and keep an eye on everything! But when we do appear… it'll be must-see and can't miss! Until then, stand with us.. and enjoy Warzone!"

The screen cuts out and shows the Revolution logo before fading to black…

Generals gathered in their masses

(A flare shoots into the sky as the first line of War Pigs is said. As it shoots into the sky logos for Revolution, La Familia, La Rebelion, Legacy, Holiday Promotions, and Bōryoku all take turns fading into the flare, before being replaced by the next logo.)

Just like witches at black masses

(The flare finally reaches its peak and dissolves into smoke before the camera quickly pans down to the roof of what looks to be a scrap yard of some sort. Littered with a large group of people...people who wrestle for ICW. The landscape is filled with weapons around the perimeter. You can see beaten-down cars in the area and platforms that are elevated over an open space in the middle of the field, where our wrestler's are waiting)

Evil minds that plot destruction

(We get quick flashes of a smirking Evan Neal, watching from behind the roster. He stands on one of the platforms that is elevated above the open pit, where the wrestler are. His nose is in the air with one hand behind his back and the other concealed in shirt, as if he was Napolean Bonaparte. the wrestlers in front of him, mainly heels, before panning to Alexis Espinoza on the adjacent side, standing behind our babyfaces on a similar platform. An intense look is across her face.)

Sorcerer of Death's construction

(We get a close up of Jason Sabre, who is waiting to strike, across from him is Mark Jacobs, who has a shit eating grin on his face)

In the fields, the bodies burning

(Detrick Cyrus & Freddy Escobar stand beside Sabre, both cracking their knuckles, before panning across to where Katashi Suzuki and CJ Hawk stoically stare them down)

As the war machine keeps turning

(Sofia Reynoso is next to Detrick giving the finger to someone. It is when we pan across, we see that it's Carson Michaels, who rolls her eyes at Sofia)

Death and hatred to mankind

(We pan upward to a platform to the side of our wrestlers. Azriel watches from this crows nest, not picking a side)

Poisoning their brainwashed minds

Oh lord, yeah!

(Alexis extends her arm, shouting to go. Evan Neal does the same as both sides bum rush each other for a battle. As the instrumental happens we begin to see clips of DJ Kingston bashing Jason over the head with a Champagne bottle; Mark Jacobs hitting Rey Aguayo with Baneful Ways; And Furno Moxley hitting Jacob Uso with a Devil Trigger)

Politicians hide themselves away

(The screen switches to Evan Neal admiring a painting of himself)

They only started the war

(We switch over to Alexis Espinoza giving Mark Jacobs a scornful look)

Why should they go out to fight?

(Carson Michaels hits Alexis Espinoza with Sweet Chin Music)

They leave that role to the poor, yeah

(We cut back to the junkyard where Elijah Holiday is yelling 'get them' as Ced and Roger Stone are brawling with Jesus Garza and Rey Aguayo. All of a Sudden Phoenix does a crossbody off a broken down SUV on everyone.)

Time will tell on their power minds

(We cut back to clips of Chris Owens winning the ICW International Championship; DJ Kingston hitting the Hawaiian Hangover on Jason Sabre; Angelica Rhodes Big Booting Kirsi out of her wheelchair!)

Making war just for fun

(Daria St. Leger eats Potato chips as she watches Raptor Reigns powerbomb Seth Mercer onto the windshield of a car)

Treating people just like pawns in chess

Wait till their judgement day comes, yeah!

(It's an all-out war as people are brawling everywhere. The camera focuses Jaden Sennoa choking out Aiden Remington III; Greg Hart putting Gambler in a sharpshooter as Koji Yoshida hits Adrian Young with a tire iron as Clayton Palmer and Jade Madison cheering on; CJ Hawk drop toe holding Mason Rivers into a cement block; Then lastly, Jason Sabre catching his breath before both the Wayne Bro's fall from above him at his feet.)

(The instrument hits one last time as Jason Sabre looks up and the camera pans up a large structure where Christian McIntyre stands with a cigarette in his mouth, Ava Knight holds a baseball bat beside him, Clay Marrow is recording on his phone and lastly is Sai...who pulls a big red button out from his pocket. The pit of wrestlers below stop their fighting; Azriel, Alexis and Evan Neal look over to Revolution. Sai then hits the button causing a massive explosion, which transitions into ICW Warzone's logo appears)

Pyro shoots out from the stage and above the ring. Lights come back on and reveal the stage having a large titantron above a single entrance walkway and two large monitors on each side. The screen showed the "WARZONE" logo being blue with white camo design. It then cuts to the Commentary table. The crowd appeared to be about 12,000 strong.

There sits a 37-year-old, 5'6, 159lbs man with short brown hair (that stretches around the sides with the top of his head is left bald), a more stocky build, & is wearing a royal blue suit jacket & pants, a white buttoned shirt, a midnight blue tie, & shining brown dress shoes.

Orville: "We are live from the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas! Welcome everyone, to the brand new show for ICW! Welcome to ICW Warzone! I am Orville Moore, and I will be one of the new leading voices of ICW! Joining me as will is 'The Good Reverend' Rodney Lee!"

The cameras shifts to a 31-year-old, 6'1, 278lbs mocha colored stocky man with a beer gut, short black hair styled in 360 degree waves with a taper fade, a black chinstrap beard, and is wearing a very bright & extravagant purple suit with brown pointed dress shoes, a large purple fedora, and carrying a gold cane.

Rodney: "PRAISE BE TO THE LORD ALMIGHTY FOR BLESSING THIS UNHOLY WARZONE WITH THE LORD'S VOICE!"

Orville: "...Must you scream so loud?"

Rodney: "I was only projecting THE VOICE OF THE LORD ABOVE! Only HEATHENS would find the VOICE OF THE LORD to be obnoxious!"

Orville: "But right in my ear?"

Rodney: "That's the power of the Holy Ghost, you heathen!"

Orville: "Let's start the Warzone before my eardrums burst!"

Weight of my Pride (by Pay Money to my Pain) plays to a HUGE pop! The beginning instrumentals kick in as the left lights turn white and the right turns blue! As we near the lyrics, smoke shoots up from the sides of the stage and there appears Jason Sabre in his jeans, shoes, and leather jacket! The crowd goes INSANE and he takes a moment to soak up the reception and survey the crowd. He walks down the ramp occasionally slapping hands as the lights are dimmed and the spotlight follows him. Jason then jumps onto the ring apron and climbs to the top turnbuckle. Sabre does his gun taunt to overwhelming cheers! He jumps down to the middle of the ring as a spotlight shines on him.

Orville: "No better way to kick off Warzone than with the #1 Contender to the ICW Heavyweight Championship, 'The Ace of Pro Wrestling' Jason Sabre!"

Rodney: "THE HEATHEN! SCOUNDREL! He CLAIMS to fathering a bastard child who just so happens to be our Heavyweight Champion!"

Orville: "I don't think he was being serious when he said that. He was just trying to get in the head of the champion, Mark Jacobs."

Rodney: "With that heathen, Sabre, would you REALLY put it past him!? He ruined another perfectly holy relationship and is corrupting a wholesome family home!"

Orville: "In this case, yes!"

Jason pauses for a few seconds, letting the crowd soak up the moment before doing the gun shot taunt. The lights go back up and he surveys the crowd again. The music fades, but the crowd continues to chant "GO ACE!" Jason smiles while looking around.

Sabre: "Ladies & gentlemen… WELCOME TO ICW WARZONE!"

Big pop from the crowd! Jason paces around.

Sabre: "I'm feeling amped up tonight, you guys! We got more action! More drama! More suspense! Best of all.. more Jason Sabre!"

"Go Ace" chants break out!

Sabre: "But I'm not gonna lie to you guys. Underneath all of this excitement, I'm extremely disappointed. Back on Battlefield, I stood face-to-face with that Mark, and I laid out the time and the place to fight him for the Heavyweight Title: right here on the premiere of Warzone! And the man, to my lack of surprise, tucked tail and ran."

The crowd boos. Sabre nods in response.

Sabre: "Oh I hear ya. I feel the same way… which is why I made sure he wasn't gonna run away for much longer. I pulled some strings, used some of my Ace-level influence, and made it official! In seven days, the second-ever Warzone is taking a trip to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for a TV Special called Steel City Showdown! And in the main event… it's gonna be Jason Sabre VS Mark Jacobs for the ICW Heavyweight Championship!"

The crowd pops as the titantron shows the graphic for Mark VS Jason in Pittsburgh for the Heavyweight Title. Jason then looks directly into the hard cam.

Jason: "Seven days, Mark. Seven days before you kiss that title goodbye and it comes around the waist of the Ace of Pro Wrestling!"

The crowd chants "Go Ace!" But then it turns into boos when they hear-

Neal: "Hold on! Hold on! Hold on!"

Sabre turns and sees Evan Neal walking out to the ring! He steps inside the ring and stands across from Jason.

Neal: "Let me get one thing straight, Jason! I did not fall for that so-called 'Ace-level' influence of yours! That was all from Ms. Espinoza and her unhealthy obsession to remove the championship from Mark Jacobs! I would never be swayed to make a match just to appease one person!"

More boos from the crowd. Sabre looks at them then back at Evan.

Sabre: "Never have I heard someone speak so much and make so little sense. So let me see if I understand this…" He starts to pace back and forth. "What you're saying is that you had no hand in making this championship match, correct?"

Neal: "That's correct."

Sabre: "Meaning you had zero input in making this title match official. Am I right?"

Neal: "Yes you are, Jason."

Sabre: "Okay. Since we know you didn't make the match, by process of elimination that means Alexis Espinoza made the match. Right?"

Neal: "Yes!"

Sabre: "Just so we're clear, Alexis officially made the title match between Mark and myself."

Neal: "My lord- Yes, Jason!"

Sabre: "A match that the people want to see! Right, everyone?"

Crowd screams "YES"

Sabre: "You guys want to see that match, right?!"

They scream "YES" again.

Sabre: "You guys would pay money to see this match, right!?"

"YES" chants break out from the crowd. Jason thinks for a moment.

Sabre: "Right, right. So because Alexis Espinoza alone made the title match between me and Mark, a match everyone would pay money to see, she should take all of the credit for this match happening, right?"

Neal: "Yes!"

Sabre: "Which means she's better at this job than you are, right?"

Neal: "Yes!...WAIT I MEAN NO!"

The crowd pops hard and chants "YES" in response. Sabre stands there laughing while Neal looks around.

Sabre: "You heard it here first, folks! Straight from the mouth of a horse's ass! Alexis Espinoza is better at running the show than Evan Neal!"

Crowd chants for Espinoza. This pisses Evan off until-

Neal: "EVERYBODY BE QUIET!"

Crowd boos in response. Evan adjusts his tie and takes a breather.

Neal: "Need I remind you who is in charge here, Sabre? REGARDLESS of who did WHAT, the fact is that I STILL have the power to make matches official! And since you're so eager to fight, you will be wrestling in the main event… against the ICW Heavyweight Champion: Mark Jacobs!"

The crowd cheers in response! Jason smiles… but so does Evan.

Neal: "AND his partners: the ICW Tag Team Champions, Bōryoku, in a Three-On-One Handicap match!"

Jason's smile goes away as the crowd boos. Neal just smirks.

Neal: "And I wish you the best of luck, Jason. Because you're gonna need-"

?: "¡CALLATE!"

The crowd pops as Alexis Espinoza walks out through the La Rebelion walkway.

Alexis: "You're right about one thing, Neal. You can also make matches. But the difference between us? I can make them better! So I'm evening the playing fields! Mark Jacobs & Bōryoku will face Jason Sabre in the main event! But Sabre has free reign in choosing his tag team partners because it will be a high profile Six-Man Tag Team Match! Enjoy the rest of Warzone, everyone!"

Crowd pops as Alexis leaves. Neal is pissed as Sabre is smiling. He looks at Neal and says

Jason: "Like you said, Neal! Alexis is way better at this than you are!"

Sabre drops the mic & leaves the ring. He high fives people on the way out while Evan is livid.

Orville: "Major announcements for Warzone tonight! Jason Sabre and two partners of his choice against the ICW Heavyweight and Tag Team Champions in Warzone's first ever main event! But even bigger news is that next week, Steel City Showdown live from Pittsburg, Jason Sabre will get his shot against Mark Jacobs for the Heavyweight Title!"

Rodney: "How dare that HEATHEN disrespect the FAITHFUL, GOD-FEARING, CHRISTIAN MAN EVAN NEAL!? THE DISRESPECT! It shall NOT go unpunished by the ALMIGHTY ABOVE!"

Orville: "Coming up next, our opening match for the WFA Tag Team Titles between Gen M and the Wayne Bros!

(Break)

As we cut back from break, we catch a glimpse of Sovereignty sitting in the nosebleeds. We then cut back to the ring.

"The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the WFA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP!"

The arena lights dim as Chrome Hearts (by CFO$). There were some cheers as two separate, colorful spotlights shine down on Derrick and Devin Wayne. But unusually, neither of them were showing much energy. Instead, they simply walked out of the spotlight. No pyro went off as the lights turned neon. The twin brothers simply rolled in the ring without looking to the crowd. They just paced back & forth, waiting for their opponents.

Orville: "It's been a long time coming for the Wayne Bros, having earned this opportunity all the way back at Fallout. Management found it appropriate to have this matchup on the Warzone premiere! But lately, Derrick and Devin have had some unfortunate run-ins against Boryoku and Revolution. A win here tonight can set them back on track, but a loss could knock them down further than they've ever been."

Rodney: "Now I know these two boys are good, God-fearing christians! But it's important for them to remember that what they're going through is a test from God!"

The lights dim as Winter Blues (by Joyner Lucas) plays to LOUD boos. Once the gunshots in the song are heard, the stage lights up to reveal Dylan & Caesar posing on the stage. They make their way to the ring, holding up their titles, and steps inside. Caesar stands in the left turnbuckle holding up his title, while Dylan Torres stands on the right turnbuckle holding his close.

Orville: "Currently, Generation M is without their leader, DJ Kingston, ever since Unbreakable. They did have a successful title defense recently on Battlefield, albeit with some outside interference, but they are looking across a team they have had past run-ins with. And one whose success record speaks for themselves."

Rodney: "Just like these two fight in the name of God, they will be fighting for their fallen comrade in DJ! I pray that the Holy Spirit is with DJ as Generation M continues to fight the good and righteous fight!"

Orville: "Let's move down to our new ring announcer: 'The Enigmatic' Idris Williams!

The lights dim as the two teams come face-to-face. Standing nearby is a milk chocolate skin man with small cornrows and wearing an all black suit.

"Ladies & gentlemen…THIS is our opening contest, scheduled for one fall! And it is for the WFA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP! Introducing first, the challengers! At a total combined weight of 341 lbs: 'Derick & Devin' THE WAYYYYYNE BROOOOS!"

Slight cheers come from the crowd. Waynes aren't too excitable as they stare at those titles.

"And their opponents, representing Generation M, at a total combined weight of 570 lbs, they are the WFA Tag Team Champions: DYLANNN TORREEEES & KING CAEEEEESARRRR!"

They hold up their titles to loud boos. "WE WANT NATTIE CHANTS." breaks out from the crowd. Lights come on as the referee takes the titles to hold them up.

Orville: "Who will walk out as the WFA Tag Team Champions? We're about to find out…RIGHT NOW!"

The bell rings with Dylan and Derrick starting. "WE WANT NATTIE" chants immediately break out from the crowd and cause Dylan & Caesar to glance at each other. Dylan shifts his focus back to Derrick, and the two lock into the Collar & Elbow. Dylan powers Derrick back into a corner, pinning him there. The ref steps in and begins to count: "One… Two…. Three…" Dylan lets Derrick go and steps back… then takes a swing! But Derrick ducks and Dylan is in the corner. And Derrick responds with a Knife Edge Chop! It was louder than usual and stung Dylan, and Derrick hit him again and again! He unleashes a flurry of Chops until Dylan shoves him across the ring. Derrick rolls up and charges at him with a Running Forearm! Dylan stumbles back as Derrick follows up with an Irish Whip. Dylan counterwhips him to the corner, but Derrick runs up and backflips over him. He runs the ropes, ducks a Clothesline, and eats a Shoulder Block! Dylan scoops Devin up on his shoulders, but a few Elbows to the jaw and Derrick gets down. Derrick goes on the assault with rapid Punches… before running and punching Caesar! This pisses off the big man as Derrick backs off. Dylan grabs Derrick and Caesar steps in. He goes for a swing…and accidentally hits Dylan! Caesar was caught off by Derrick slipping underneath! Devin leaps in the ring, Caesar turns around and gets jumped by both twins! Caesar pushes them back, but the Waynes roll up and Double Dropkick him through the ropes! Dylan gets up and runs at them, but they duck and Double Leapfrogs over. Dylan keeps running… right into a Double Superkick! Dylan goes flying over the ropes and out to the floor! Caesar tries to step back in, but The Waynes hits Double Superkick and sends him down. The Waynes run and hit Double Suicide Dives to Dylan! They run back in, dash across the ring, and hit Double Diving Sentons to Caesar!

Orville: "The Wayne Bros are coming out diving! They aren't holding anything back in this match!"

Rodney: "Is it me, or do they appear like men possessed!? Because there's some unholy aggression showing from them!"

The crowd cheered, mostly for the dives, but the twins didn't pay it any attention. They instead grabbed Caesar and threw him into the timekeeper area! As Dylan rolls back in the ring, Derrick slides in and drags him up. He slams Dylan aggressively into his corner before tagging Devin. The Double Whip follows, sending Dylan to the opposite side. Derrick runs first but gets Back Bodied Drop over to the floor! Devin runs and gets launched over. But he lands on the apron and hits an Apron Enziguri to Dylan. He then goes for a Springboard, but Dylan grabs him and tosses him straight into his brother! As they're crawling up, they are FLATTEN by a Running Crossbody by Caesar! He grabs Devin and dumps him back in. Dylan tags him in as Devin is slow to his feet. And Caesar BLASTS him back down with a Big Boot! He makes the cover!

1!

….

KICKOUT!

Orville: "The large boot of Caesar nearly knocks his head off! But Devin remains in the fight!"

Caesar picks him up and applies the Bear Hug! "We Want Nattie" chants start back up as Devin screeches in pain! He punches Caesar, desperate to break free, but Caesar just hugs him tighter! And as the crowd begins to rally behind Devin… he BITES CAESAR IN THE FACE! Caesar screams out in pain and drops Devin, who stumbles back into Gen-M's corner. Caesar runs, but Devin trips him with the Basement Dropkicks, sending him crashing into the corner! Devin starts to crawl to his twin as Dylan tags himself in. Devin leaps up… but Dylan grabs the leg and yanks him back! Devin hops up and counters with an Enziguri! Dylan stumbles… but then hits a Running Senton to his back! He then knocks Derrick off the apron and drags him back towards his corner. Caesar tags in and Dylan Scoop Slams Devin. Caesar then lifts Dylan and Scoop Slams him onto Devin! Caesar covers.

1!

….

2!

..KICKOUT!

Orville: "Gen M appear to be in complete control of this match! They've been highly effective in cutting the ring in half from the Wayne Bros!"

Rodney: "Gen M are well-coordinated and shown high favors from the Lord Almighty so far!"

Caesar mounts Devin and starts wailing at him with brutal punches. He tags Dylan, and "The Rabid Street Dog" drags Devin out of the ring and slams him aggressively into the barricades! Dylan stomps away at Devin to more boos. Dylan lifts Devin by his arm and Whips him, but Devin counterwhips and sends Dylan crashing into the steps! Caesar gets down from the apron and grabs Devin. He goes for a Scoop Slam, but Devin lands behind and pushes him into the ringpost! Devin weakly rolls in and starts his crawl to Derrick! But Dylan rolls in front of him and blocks his path! Dylan grabs him, but Devin somehow Back Body Drops him over… and makes the tag to Derrick! The crowd comes alive as Derrick hits a Springboard Dropkick to Dylan! Caesar tries to climb in but eats a Triangle Dropkick by Derrick! Derrick grabs Dylan up and Forearms him in the face! Dylan then grabs and throws him over! But Derrick lands on the apron and, when Dylan turns around, hits the Slingshot Spear! Caesar pulls himself up again, and he gets knocked back down with a Running Knee! Dylan crawls up, and Derrick hits him with the Famouser! He tells Devin to get back in as he leaps to the top! Devin lifts Dylan, and the Waynes hit the Skull & Bones! Derrick makes the cover!

1!

2!

…..

And Caesar yanks Derrick out of the ring! He grabs his neck as Devin runs in! He goes for the Suicide Dive… but Caesar catches him by his neck! Caesar then walks over and Double Chokeslams them HARD on the ramp!

Rodney: "OH SWEET JESUS CAESAR NEARLY SENT THOSE TWO BOYS TO THE GATES OF HELL!"

Orville: "Gen M are willing to do whatever it takes to retain those championships!"

The crowd winces at them as the twins lay motionless! Caesar drags both of them and dumps them back in the ring. Dylan crawls back up and, seeing Derrick & Devin out cold, he unleashes the Violence Party (A series of stomps, knee drops, fist drops, and a Running Senton) to both of them! He scoops Derrick and Devin across his shoulders and hits the Death Valley Driver RIGHT in the corner! Dylan tags Caesar, who steps in and grabs Devin. He lifts him up… and Powerbombs him onto Devin! Caesar repeatedly Powerbombs him onto his own brother multiple times!

Rodney: "LORD HAVE MERCY ON THESE KIDS! THIS IS AN UNHOLY BEATING THEY ARE EXPERIENCING!"

Orville: "Shades of Battlefield just a few weeks ago! They've done their homework and are savagely beating the Wayne Bros to a pulp!"

Until finally he drops him HARD on Derrick and pins them both!

1!

….

…

…KICKOUT!

Both brothers somehow got their shoulders up! This shocked Caesar and got the crowd alive! Caesar grabs Devin and dumps him out of the ring. He then drags Derrick against the corner and unleashes the Brooklyn Beats (A series of corner jabs). Caesar tags Dylan back in and lifts Derrick up. They signal for Generational Sin (Magic Killer)...and Chop Blocked by Devin to Caesar! He goes down! Derrick drops free! And gets the Small Package in on Dylan!

Orville: "Telepathy! Neon Blast! The Wayne Bros threw out their best shots… and it wasn't enough to keep Gen M down!"

The crowd was shocked! Everyone thought it was over! The Wayne Bros couldn't believe that didn't work! They both get up, clutching their hair… and lose it on Dylan! They punch and stomp down on him repeatedly! Finally, Devin grabs his twin and tells him to go up! They both ascend the same corner. They balanced each other on top… and went for their new move, Overdrive (Double 450 Splash)... But Dylan rolls away! They roll up safely however… and get BULLDOZED by a Double Lariat from Caesar!

"Here are your winners…and STILLLL WFA Tag Team Champions: GENERATION M!"

Orville: "The Wayne Bros gave it their best efforts, but Gen M out powered and out lasted them to keep hold of the WFA Tag Titles!"

Rodney: "Oh…oh sweet Jesus… Blessed be to the M Generation! The spirit of the Holy Ghost was with them tonight as they carried the banner of God & DJ Kingston!"

The crowd boos as Gen M are handed their tag titles. They hold them up while Dylan says "We're not going anywhere! We're still the best! And we're gonna use these titles to prove it!" He and Caesar soon leave as Derrick weakly rolls in the ring to check on his brother. The ref helps them up… only to be shoved to the ground! The crowd nor the ref didn't know how to respond, but the twins simply rolled out and limped away. Sovereignty watches them leave with a slight smirk on their face.

Orville: "Frustration seems to be boiling over with Derrick and Devin. Four tragic losses all in a row is starting to affect them."

Rodney: "That wasn't very Christian like from the Wayne Bros! Those were the actions of heathens like yourself, ya heathen!"

Orville: "Lord this is gonna be a long night…"

The screen cuts to Hannah standing outside Jason Sabre's locker room.

Hannah: "I'm standing by trying to get a word with The Ace of Pro Wrestling, Jason Sabre, about his thoughts on the upcoming main event for the premier of Warzone! While he has yet to answer, I have heard what sounds to be Jason discussing something with someone-"

Sabre suddenly opens the door and walks out now shirtless.

Jason: "Hannah! My favorite reporter! How are you!?"

Hannah says nothing. She stands there looking at Jason's abs.

Sabre: "Hannah?"

Hannah keeps staring. Jason waves his hand in front of her face.

Sabre: "Hannah my eyes are up here."

Hannah: "...Huh?" She snaps out of it. "OH! Oh my goodness I am so sorry!"

Sabre: "You know if you wanted a peak you could've asked."

Hannah: "Wait really?"

Sabre: "Wha-NO! What would Nattie think! I'm not some gigolo, Hannah!"

Hannah: "I-I didnt mean.. I mean I would never-"

Seeing her flustered made Jason laugh.

Sabre: "Relax Hannah! It's all good! I wrestle shirtless for a reason! Speaking of which, isn't there something you wanted to ask about me in the main event?"

Hannah: "Main event? OH RIGHT!" She clears her throat and composes herself. "We all heard the announcement not long ago. The first main event of Warzone. You and two partners against the ICW Heavyweight and Tag Team Champions! Any immediate reactions?"

Sabre: "Oh I love it, Hannah! This is the big fight feel I said the people came to see and one I promised to deliver! But more importantly, this is a chance to finally get my hands on Mark Jacobs and show him what's coming his way in Pittsburgh!"

Hannah: "With this in mind, we all know your thoughts on Mark Jacobs, but what are your thoughts on the Tag Champions, Bōryoku?"

Sabre: "Bōryoku…" Jason goes quiet as he ponders the question. "On one hand, you have Minoru Suzuki's second-rate nephew doing his best creepy stalker impersonation. What you see is what you get with him, but those mind games ain't gonna work on me. And then there's my-

Jason suddenly stop speaking and looks behind Hannan. Hannah turns as the camera moves behind her. There stood CJ Hawk, wearing his demonic-style mask, gear, & longcoat. Sabre steps out of his locker room and stares down the taller man like a disappointed parent.

Sabre: "There he is… my good friend, CJ Hawk. I'm glad you're here, man. So I can ask you face-to-face: Are you out of your goddamn mind!?"

CJ stays quiet as Sabre continues.

Sabre: "Like…what the hell is wrong with you!? I get you breaking Katashi's nose even if that was a bit too far. I can understand if that was an accident, but that doesn't excuse you running off and TEAMING with him! I mean… just LOOK at yourself! I'm seriously not joking when I tell you that you look ridiculous! This ain't you! Bloodying the Waynes, beating down Freddy & Detrick- man none of this is who you are! You've never been this guy! You may act like it right now, but I've known you long enough to know this ain't who you are! So whatever Katashi said or did to cause you to act out like this, you need to snap out of it! And quickly! Before you lose everything and everyone!"

CJ stays quiet for what feels like forever. He takes his mask off and looks at it with a deep sigh.

CJ: "I hear you, man." He says calmly.

Hannah was slightly surprised while Jason stood his ground.

CJ: "Just…let me ask something. Humor me, if you can." He looks back up at Sabre. "Who said this isn't who I really am? Who's to say I wasn't lying to everyone, myself included, just to be someone that people can like? Maybe I wasn't corrupted like everyone thinks. Maybe I was reminded of the person I actually am. Instead of being what the fanbase wants or expects me to be. Maybe I'm not just a wrestler… but a killer."

Now it was Jason who remained silent. But it didn't last long. He gets closer in CJ's face.

Jason: "Or maybe you're just full of so much shit right now and it's starting to piss me off. But I guess we'll find out in the ring, won't we?"

CJ didn't respond. Instead, he stares Sabre in his eyes… and steps back.

CJ: "About that… the reason I'm here is to tell you, face-to-face… that we aren't fighting tonight."

Jason, and even Hannah, stood there both confused and shocked.

Jason: "Are you serious?"

Hannah: "You're saying Bōryoku is pulling out of the main event tonight?!"

CJ: "...Not exactly."

Suddenly, Jason is grabbed from behind and slammed into the wall! Hannah let's out a startled yell and hurries off-screen as it zooms out to reveal Katashi Suzuki & The Kyoshi Warrior! The two of them proceed to attack and beat down Sabre! And CJ stands there casually while watching this unfold!

Kyoshi lifts Sabre and holds him by the arms. Katashi goes for a Forearm Strike, but Sabre kicks him in the gut! He breaks free from Kyoshi and starts to fight back… until CJ grabs him in the Devil's Breath (Cobra Clutch)! Sabre tries to fight back but CJ pulls him to the ground and wraps his legs around, trapping Sabre! "The Ace's" spirit kept him fighting as much as possible, but the air was rapidly leaving Sabre's lungs as CJ forces him to pass out.

Once Sabre was out cold, CJ releases him. Officials finally entered the room to gain control, but Katashi & Kyoshi's intimidating presence kept them from interfering! CJ pulled the unconscious Jason close to him and speaks in a low grunt

CJ: "I know you'll hear this, Jason. So I want you to really understand what's happening! Out of respect for the friendship we once had, I'm not gonna fight you tonight! Instead, I want you to fight Katashi & Kyoshi! Because the day we do fight, I want it to be just you and me, one-on-one, so you can really see just who the hell I really am! And understand that NO ONE is ever stepping over me again! Not even the Ace of Pro Wrestling himself! Oh and don't think we're doing this for Mark Jacobs either. We don't give a damn about him or whatever is going on between you two. Because with or without the Heavyweight Title, ICW, and everyone in it, FEARS Bōryoku!"

CJ leaves Sabre unconscious on the ground. He gets up and walks out with Bōryoku as officials check on Sabre.

(Break)

We cut backstage to Edward Mercury and Aiden Remington III of the Kings of a New Age walking backstage.

They suddenly came to a stop and grew furious at what they encountered. The camera pans over and reveals Gregg Hart and Adrian Young walking up to them.

Young: "Okay, we're here! So how are we about to settle this? Right here? In the ring? In the parking lot? I've been ready to slam both of you through a car window!"

Edward: "The hell are you two muppets talking about!?"

Gregg: "We heard what your Lord and Master, Chris Owens, said about going to handle us! So we thought we'd save you the trouble and settle this right now!"

Edward & Adien look at each other. They break out in a hysterical laugh.

Edward: "You muppets still believe you stand a chance against the greatest tag team alive!? Worst yet, you two think we want to waste our time and efforts tonight!? We will put you two in your places when we deem it so!"

Aiden soon looks both Gregg and especially Young eye-to-eye.

Aiden: "When it does happen, you two won't stop us. You will bend the knee. And you will submit to the greatest tag team in ICW."

Edward & Aiden soon backed off. Gregg & Adrain watched them leave as the screen cut back to ringside.

Orville: "Things are really heating up in the tag team ranks. But speaking of teams, Bōryoku might have jeopardized the main event with that assault on Jason Sabre. While he is cleared to wrestle, one can only imagine how 100% he'll be heading into tonight's match."

Rodney: "It will take a blessed miracle for Sabre to face Mark and those demons! But God does not bless the HEATHENS like him!"

Orville: "Regardless, we can all expect Sabre to show out and perform at 1% or 100%! But before we get there, we need to get to our next match."

Square Up (by CFO$) plays. And out walks Jenny Ace with the Nation of Violence. They hold up the NOV flag while Jenny shadow boxes. They march to the ring and wave the NOV flag. Jenny removes her hood and shadow boxes again.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, accompanied by and representing the Nation of Violence, from San Antonio, Texas: 'The Ace of Violence' JENNY ACE!"

Orville: "On Training Ground, Jenny Ace and the Nation of Violence seems to target Shay Sykes and Street Dreams, claiming that they don't belong here!"

Rodney: "I may not know Jenny Ace too well, but she carries herself like a Woman of God. So I wish her nothing but many blessings to her and her Nation in the name of Jesus!"

Orville: "...She loves violence, Rodney!"

Rodney: "GOD needs soldiers like her to help fight off the HEATHENS & HERETICS of the world, ya HEATHEN!"

Game On (by Waka Flocka Flame) plays, and out runs a happy Shay Sykes flashing a huge smile. As Niko & Vai follows out, she rushes down the ramp and high fives fans. Shay slides in the ring and runs at one of the corners, jumping onto the middle rope and raising one finger into the air while giving a big smile. Jenny just looks at her from the corner.

"Introducing her opponent, accompanied to the ring by The Tualas and representing Street Dreams, from Detroit, Michigan: 'The Deviant' SHAY SYKES!"

Orville: "Shay has an uphill battle against an experienced and successful cage fighter like Jenny Ace. But she's no short of energy and enthusiasm."

Rodney: "This woman needs Jesus. Plain and simple."

The bell rings… and Jenny BLASTS Shay with a Jumping Knee strike on the chin! Shay was knocked out cold! Jenny grabs her arm and locks in the Ace of Spades (Triangle Armbar)! Niko & Vai to rally her, but it was too much for Sykes… and she immediately taps out!

"Here is your winner: JENNY ACE!"

Rodney: "OH SWEET JESUS! JUST LIKE THAT!"

Orville: "Jenny Ace just knocked out and submitted Shay Sykes in record time!"

Jenny lets her go and stands over Shay. NOV raises her hand and waved their flag to boos. Niko and Vai roll in to check on Shay… and Jenny grabs Niko in a chokehold!

Orville: "Now wait a minute! Jenny is trying to choke Niko out! This is uncalled for!"

Before Vai could do anything, Michael and Brian attacked him and tossed Vai out to the floor! They roll out, lift Vai up, and Double Powerbomb him through the announce table! In the ring, the referee tries to pull Jenny away from Niko. Niko was fading fast as his body went limp! Jenny finally releases him as NOV stands over Niko & Shay. They all pose while holding up the NOV flag, the crowd booing them.

Orville: "Just a reckless assault at the hands of the Nation of Violence! Street Dreams didn't deserve this!"

Rodney: "Street Dreams are HEATHENS! STREET RATS! Nation of Violence are full of God-fearing soldiers of Christ! They have benefited from God's blessings on this day!"

The screen cuts outside to a black minivan pulling up. The doors open and reveal Clayton Palmer, Jade Madison, Koji Yoshida, and The Gambler walking out and entering the arena together.

Clayton: "Well, here we are! Warzone! A new field! A fresh start for everyone! And a perfect place for all of us to come together."

Jade: "He's right, for once. We've all grown these past few months. Never saw eye-to-eye with anything. But after spending some time… I think I can start to understand where Clayton is coming from."

Clayton: "As can I, Ms. Madison! My dear Mama Palmer even said you remind her of herself when she was young!"

Jade: "Before she had you?"

Clayton stayed quiet and glared at Jade. Jade had to fight back laughter

Jade: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry… force of habit. I'm still working on that."

Clayton: "I'm gonna pretend you didn't say that and keep going! Nevertheless, it's time we all had a fresh start! Which is why I'm proud to introduce the re-launch of Madison-Palmer Inc.!"

Jade: "And it is my honor to introduce the first two signings to our agency…. Koji Yoshida & The Gambler!"

Koji & Gambler simply nods and bows

Clayton: "Two guys who had a major role in bringing myself and Ms. Madison back on the same page once again! And it's not stopping here! Because we're looking for more members! Regardless of race, gender, class, whatever, if you feel you have what it takes to be special, then give MPI a call-"

?: "Well…well…well…"

MPI turns and sees Elijah Holiday walking over with a smirk on his face.

Elijah: "Mr. Clayton Palmer & Ms. Jade Madison together again… and already you two feel like an embarrassment to businesses like mine!"

Jade: "Elijah Holiday… to what do we owe this sudden intrusion?"

Elijah: "I'm actually here for these two gentlemen right here." He points to Koji & Gambler. "You boys shouldn't have to waste away dealing with these two. If you want someone to truly help grow your potential to where they should be, give me a call."

He offers them his Holiday Promotions business card. Koji & Gambler takes it… and rips it up. Clayton & Jade smile.

Clayton: "Well, Mr. Holiday, looks to me that they're sticking with MPI. I'm sure a little competition wouldn't hurt, wouldn't you agree?"

Elijah: "...You're right. It wouldn't hurt…" He straightens his tie. "It wouldn't hurt Holiday Promotion. But Madison Palmer Inc? You four don't stand a chance. And if you don't believe me, then watch who we sign later tonight!"

Jade: "Yeah, okay Elijah." She rolls her eyes at him. "We'll see who runs the better business."

Elijah smiles and walks away, leaving MPI to shake their heads and talk amongst themselves

We cut backstage in the Trainer's Room where a conscious Sabre is getting looked at. He leaves Jason there to ice himself. But when Jason looks back up, he sees Mark Jacobs walking in with the Heavyweight Title on his shoulder.

Mark: "Not feeling Ace-like right now, huh Jason?"

Mark simply chuckles and takes a seat directly in front of Sabre.

Mark: "Because from where I'm sitting, you're barely conscious, let alone ready to fight anyone tonight. All night you've been sitting here licking your wounds instead of begging scrubs like Mason Rivers to be your partner tonight. So take this as not a warning, but a promise: if… let's face it, when you step into that ring alone tonight, I promise you on this title I hold dear to me, you won't be walking out on your own power. And you damn sure won't be walking into Pittsburgh to face me for this title."

Jason looks at Mark for a moment… then he smiles and chuckles.

Jason: "Those are some bold words, Mark. Must be feeling confident right now. But imma keep it blunt right now: when you're in there with me, none of your plans will go the way you want them to. But don't take my word for it… what do you guys think?"

Mark noticed Sabre's gaze wasn't towards him, but whatever was behind. Mark slowly turns around as the camera zooms out… and reveals Freddy Escobar & Detrick Cyrus standing behind him! Both men looked down at Mark with their arms folded.

Detrick: "I think he's out of his mind if he believes you're going out there alone."

Freddy: "Take it from a former world champ, Mark: you're in for a bad night." He shrugs.

Jason slowly stands up and pats Mark on the shoulders. Mark turns and pulls his arm back.

Jason: "Y'see Mark, I never had to look for my partners. Because there's only two guys I trust more than anyone to have my back. So yeah, I might be wounded right now, but let's see how well you and Bōryoku stack up tonight… against the Legends of New School!"

Feeling surrounded, Mark backs off with his title while the Legends all smirk at him.

Mark: "This changes nothing, Sabre!"

Sabre: "You're right! Because I'm still gonna kick your ass!"

The scene fades as Mark angrily storms out.

(Break)

The scene opens back to Elijah Holiday and Holiday Promotions already in the ring. Ruthless Roger Stone stands guard outside the ring while everyone else stands in the ring wearing dark blue business suits. The ring was all black with a podium in the center. Cameramen gather around ringside constantly snapping photos.

Elijah: "ICW is a place with no shortage of famous groups. Groups that, in one way or another, have left or are currently leaving their marks in this illustrious industry. Groups like La Rebelion…"

Crowd cheers

Elijah: "Legacy."

The cheers turn to boos

Elijah: "Bōryoku."

The boos grow louder!

Elijah: "Generation M."

The crowd keeps booing

Elijah: "And Revolution."

HUGE pop from the crowd!

Elijah: "Just to name a few! And this is where we separate ourselves from those groups: Because unlike them, Holiday Promotions is not just a mere 'group!' We are an industry! We are in the business of making money, taking championships, and creating a Dynasty! The men you see next to me echo these sentiments! We have the Immortal One, the FUTURE ICW Heavyweight Champion of the World, Marvelous Tate Williams!"

The crowd boos as Tate holds up his gold case.

Elijah: "We also have Holiday Promotion's personal hitman, the Juggernaut Of Ruthlessness, Ruthless Roger Stone!"

Stone stays stone faced and on guard on the outside.

Elijah: "And most recently, we welcomed into our promotion the living icon himself, the blueprint of what a superstar is! The Black Leone himself, Ced!"

More boos as Ced stands there with his arms out. "Sabre" chants break out, which irritates Ced.

Elijah: "Let me tell you people something, when Ced was a star, Jason Sabre was the guy who carried his luggage!"

Everyone boos while Ced just smirks.

Elijah: "As I was saying…. Tonight, we turn our heads toward the future. And we have secured the future of not just ICW, but in all of Pro Wrestling! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the newest signee to Holiday Promotions…."

Elijah points to the stage and yells

Elijah: "'The Gold Standard' TREY GOLD!"

The lights dim as Loaded Lean (by Lil Loaded) plays. The tron glows gold as "TREY GOLD" appears in black, cursive writing. A gold spotlight soon shines on a 5'9", 208 lbs caramel skinned man. This man has an impressive feel about him with his narrow shoulders and strong arms, a slender torso and chiseled abs, a medium waist, round hips, and medium-size legs. His black hair is very long and fine, and is always un-styled. Trey has an oval face, a rounded jaw with no facial hair and defined cheekbones. His wide, arrogant black eyes scan the arena as the lights come on. He's wearing a black trench coat with gold highlights, a gold scarf, black suit & gold tie, and gold shades.

He walks up to Roger Stone, who remains stone faced, and poses in front of him towards the cameras. Trey then walks up the steps and insults each and every fan about making so much more in one moment than they had in their lifetime! Trey hops in the rings and dabs up everybody. He shakes Elijah's hand, takes the contract, and signs it. Elijah then raises Trey's hand.

Elijah: "And there you have it! The Gold Standard! The High Life! A man so fast, so agile, so athletic that he can and will run CIRCLES around the competition! He is money…no, he is GOLD! And with this man, no one can stop the rise of Holiday Promotions!"

Trey stands at the podium. He takes off his shades, revealing his black eyes, and goes to speak…. just as United Divided (by Voodoo Johnson) plays. Everyone turns to see Clayton Palmer and Jade Madison walking to the stage.

Clayton: "So this is the big news-worthy move Elijah Holiday experts crafted… adopting a child with an obsession with the color yellow! Not the most riveting signee ever, I'd say…"

Jade: "No, no, Palmer! It's obviously a special occasion! It's Trey Gold! You know, a boy faker than the gold he wears!"

Trey is about to flip out but Elijah calms him down

Elijah: "I don't know what you two are doing out here, but this is an EXCLUSIVE event! You two were not invited, so I'm going to tell you this once: LEAVE! Or Holiday Promotions will make sure you leave!"

Stone unfolds his arms, getting ready to cause havoc. He begins to march towards them until Koji & Gambler appears and blocks his path! They stare Stone down as Clayton speaks up.

Clayton: "Slow down there, Elijah! We don't want to cause any trouble. In fact, we have something you might be interested in!"

Jade: "Here's the thing, Elijah! When we told you MPI is back in business, we meant it! You can have the fancy, semi-expensive setup you got, because we're going for something authentic, something that neither you nor I can buy with money: a human connection!"

Clayton: "You guys don't care about each other, just about who makes more money and gets the better opportunity. Don't believe me? Hey Ced! How's it going knowing that Tate has first dibs over the Heavyweight Title than you!?"

Ced stands there for a moment as his bitter gaze glances over at Tate. Tate looks back at Ced confused as Elijah speaks up.

Elijah: "That is NONE of your business!"

Jade: "Oh that's where you're wrong, Holiday! It is our business because you're not the only industry in ICW anymore! We're here to make our own lasting legacy! But unlike you, we're not gonna screw people out of anything or rob these people of their time, money, or dignity! We're doing this the honorable way!"

Clayton: "That's right, Ms. Madison! And Mr. Holiday, it's also imperative to let you know, one promotion to another, that you aren't the only one whose numbers are growing. We weren't sure when to reveal this, but our new clients made it clear… This exact moment is the perfect time to make their re-acquaintance with you and your legion!"

Elijah looks at them confused ….until in runs Will Ralston who BLASTS Tate in the back from behind! Ced sees this and goes to attack, but Asher Darma suddenly runs in to defend Will & attack Ced!

Orville: "Pandemonium is breaking out now! Will Ralston wants a piece of Marvelous Tate Williams!"

Rodney: "LORD MAY SOMEONE STRIKE DOWN THAT HEATHEN AND HIS HERETIC SIDEKICK!"

Roger Stone turns to see the fighting and rushes in the ring. He starts tossing around Will and Asher until Koji & Gambler run in and both fight him! They knock him back towards the ropes and Clothesline him out of the ring! Will and Asher knock Ced and Tate out as well! They all exit and brawl with Holiday Promotions! Trey & Elijah stand there watching the chaos unfolding outside. The crowd comes alive as Trey turns around… and eats a Springboard Dropkick from a hooded figure! And Trey goes FLYING out to the floor! The 5'11", 205 lbs figure removes his hood, revealing his well tanned, Mexican-American brown skin, brown eyes, and blue long hair that covers a portion of his face!

Orville: "It's Luke Gray! Luke Gray just took out Trey Gold!"

Rodney: "He shouldn't be here! This is a holy event and he is ruining it! THEY ALL ARE!"

The crowd pops for Luke, who looks to the hardcam with a smirk and adrenaline in his eyes! Seeing everyone fighting and gathering in front of him… He runs the ropes, leaps up the stand, off the podium…and recklessly dives onto everyone!

Orville: "Luke Gray, with no regards to his own well-being, single-handedly wiping out Holiday Promotions!"

The crowd couldn't help but pop for this! Even Clayton & Jade give a round of applause as Luke springs up to his feet! The ringside cameramen gather around and start taking photos of Luke Gray standing over Trey Gold! He helps up Koji, Gambler, Asher, and Will, who grabs the Immortal Briefcase and holds it over Tate's head! Asher holds his arm up, but Will glances at Asher then immediately walks away from him and everyone else. As Will leaves, everyone else steps back towards Clayton and Jade. Luke and Asher smiles and shakes their hands then all raise them together! The crowd cheers as Elijah, the only member of Holiday Promotions standing, looks on and seething!

Orville: "What was supposed to be a special, historic moment for Holiday Promotions ended in disaster and embarrassment! Madison Palmer Inc. has made their presence known in a major way!"

Rodney: "HEATHENS! SINNERS! GOD SHALL SEND THE HOLIDAY PROMOTIONS TO STRIKE THEM ALL DOWN IN JESUS'S NAME!"

We cut backstage to Evan Neal in his office pacing back and forth. He appears stressed and anxious while mumbling to himself.

Evan: "Alexis Espinoza… who does she think she is… walking over my matches… my decisions… I swear the next time I see her… she's gonna regret-"

Evan's door immediately burst open and in walks a seething Alexis Espinoza

Alexis: "NEAL!"

Evan immediately yelps and stumbles back against his desk! The angry Alexis drags him up by his collar.

Evan: "Yes! Ms. Espinoza! What can I do-"

Alexis: "¡CALLATE! You've gone too far now! It's bad enough you brought in Legacy over my head, but now your ignorance has made several of OUR roster members go missing!"

Evan: "Ms. Espinoza! I will have you know that my decisions have not resulted in-" he freezes. "Missing roster members?"

Alexis: "YES!" She takes the roster list in her hand and shoves it into his chest. "Several ICW wrestlers have gone missing! And no one seems to know where they've gone since we left Orlando! You realize if the reps find out then both of us are at risk of losing our positions!?"

Evan looks at the list and sees there are several names listed as unaccounted for.

Evan: "I-I-I don't know anything about this! I thought you knew where they were!"

Alexis: "No! I never gave them permission to be gone without a single notice!"

Evan: "Neither have I! So where-"

A gentle knock interrupts the loud exchange. Both Alexis and Evan turn and see a 6ft, 225lbs olive-skinned man standing at the doorway. He had a standard mesomorph body type, square jaw, and pitch black coloured eyes. He also has wet-looking, medium length, slick black hair that's undercut with short back and sides. In his black leather jacket, fitting shirt and black jeans, the man enters the office and speaks in a thick, Irish accent.

?: "Apologies for the interruption. I've been sent to clear up any misunderstandings you two might have. My card."

The man pulls out two cards. On one side was a purple symbol of a reaper. On another were the initials R.O.G.U.E. Evan takes the card and looks over it confused. Alexis, however, takes the card but keeps her gaze on the man.

Alexis: "...Flynn Horde. I was beginning to question when you'd show up to work."

Evan: "HOLD ON!" He gets up and dusts himself. "You signed Flynn Horde!? I never approved of this! Exactly when did you find time to-"

Alexis: "What's wrong, Neal? You don't enjoy it when someone makes a signing decision without you knowing?"

Evan grumbles to himself as Alexis turns back to Flynn.

Alexis: "And you. You're late. In fact, you're not only over a month late."

Flynn: "Oh I assure you, I've been here the whole time. I just make it a point to not be seen unless it's necessary. But we heard you two have concerns over missing roster members" Flynn picks up the roster sheet and looks it over.

Alexis: She snatches it back. "Yes, we do. And unless you have any information about their whereabouts, this matter doesn't concern you."

Flynn: "That's the thing, Ms. Espinoza… I do know where they are."

Evan: "You do!? Where!?"

Flynn: "Not to worry. They're safe. They're just undergoing a unique form of our training."

Alexis: "Training… for what?"

Flynn: He looks at her with a smile. He then turns to the door. "Instead of answering that question here, why don't I show you first hand. I can take you to where they are…. Where ROGUE was born… if you so choose. Just let me know when you're ready."

Flynn simply turns and leaves. Alexis and Evan glance at each other as the screen fades…

(Break)

The screen opens to Hannah in the Interview Room.

Hannah: "Please welcome my guest at this time: Chris Blade!"

Chris Blade walks in frame.

Hannah: "Back at Battlefield: Unbreakable, you were successful in your career-threatening match against Adrian Lord. But instead of relishing in that victory, you immediately challenged Chris Owens for the International Championship."

Blade: He scoffs "Some champion…"

Hannah: "Now we have yet to hear a response from Owens due to his PTO, but what was going through your mind as you made the challenge?"

Blade: "Here's the thing: Chris Owens has had a hell of a time trying to get that championship back. I understand how upsetting it can be to not have that title. And yeah, he had a hell of a Ladder Match to get it back. I respect that. I respect that enough to walk up to him and challenge him like a man. And what does he do? Chris Owens requested paid time off. The International Champion, our supposed British Prizefighter, ain't even around to defend the Prize he holds dearly!"

Chris takes a deep breath.

Blade: "When I relinquished that championship, it was in the hopes that somebody could take that title to heights I couldn't even reach! I wanted whoever was the champion to take it and push it to greater heights! And while I had my own struggles to overcome, I watched the "supposed" champion whine and moan and complain to everyone about not having his title… only to tuck tail and leave as soon as he got it back! At first, I challenged him out of respect for him and that title. But now? I want nothing more than to fix the mistake I made and take back what belongs to me!"

Chris Blade turns to leave… but suddenly comes face-to-face with Katie Striker & Adrian Lord. Lord slowly removes his shades and looks Chris in his eyes. Chris braced himself for anything as Katie spoke.

Katie: "I see you have some important business coming up, Chris Blade. So we'll keep this brief: what happened in Orlando… was impressive. It seems that you found yourself again by being Tranquillo. Which was what we always wanted out of you. But now we're here for another reason. A simple one, really."

Adrian: "I want a rematch, amigo." He then extends a handshake with his sly smirk.

Blade: He stares at it for a few seconds while he contemplates what he heard. "I respect the fight you brought to me back in Orlando. And I would love nothing more than for us to tear the house down…. But not yet. Right now, I'm focused on the International Title. But when I do get it back, Lord, you'll be the first in line to get a shot."

Adrian and Katie look at each other. Adrian stares at Blade with a smirk for a moment before turning and walking away. Chris watches him leave as the screen cuts back to ringside…

Orville: "It's been a hectic premiere to Warzone so far! And we still have an all-timer coming up in our main event! The Heavyweight Champion, Mark Jacob teaming with Bōryoku's Katashi Suzuki and their newest member, The Kyoshi Warrior, to take on the Legends of New School! But the question is still how healthy is Jason Sabre going to be walking into this tag match?"

Rodney: "As much as I feel Mark as a God-fearing Christian man, he is associating himself with near- literal demons of ICW! No good can come from this for anyone!"

Orville: "Glad to see we agree on something! Now let's move on to our next-"

The camera pans out to reveal Elijah Holiday storming over to Commentary and putting on a headset. But his expression was NOT thrilled.

Orville: "I guess we'll be joined by none other than Elijah Holiday-"

Rodney: "SILENCE, HEATHEN!" He turns and grabs Elijah's hand. "I am so sorry that those sinners ruined such a holy moment for yourself and your Promotion. And I want you to know that God is with you always. You have his full blessing to strike down the heathens that is MPI."

Elijah: "Thank you, Reverend. That means a lot coming from you."

Orville: "Let's just move on to our next match already."

Hero (by Nas) plays and out walks Rick Washington. He dusts his hands with powder before clapping them together. He heads to the ring, steps in, and flexes his muscles.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from New Orleans, Louisiana, standing 6'3" & weighing in at 245 lbs: 'The Powerhouse of Soul' RICK WASHINGTON!"

Orville: "Well, Elijah, if you don't mind me asking, you've recently taken an interest in Rick Washington. What is it about him that has caught your eye?"

Elijah: "First of all, it's MR. Elijah Holiday to you! You don't get to call me Elijah as if we were lifelong pals! Secondly, just LOOK at Rick Washington! That strength and power! Average guys would KILL to have the size and strength that this man has! He has the makings to be a dominant force in this sport! And I want to be the one who gets him there!"

Rodney: "Just like a true Child of God would do! Well said, Mr. Holiday!"

As Rick waits, The Beaten Path (by Dale Oliver) plays. And out walks Zack Mercer. Zack raised his index fingers and middle fingers up in the air as the lights of the arena cuts between blue and white. He slowly enters the ring and poses with his fingers up once more.

Introducing his opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada, standing 5'11" & weighing in at 235lbs: 'The Black-Haired Outlaw' ZACK MERCER!"

Rodney: "Ugh. The drunken heathen is back…"

Orville: "Rumor has it that Zack Mercer recently went to rehab to fix his over reliance on drinking. So it'll be curious to see how he fairs now in ICW."

Elijah: "After Rick Washington gets done with him, his only source of comfort will be the liquor!"

Bell rings and both men lock up. Rick immediately shows his power and shoves Zack across the ring.

Elijah: "Look at that! What power! What strength from Washington!"

Zack gets up and glares at Rick, who starts flexing his pecs. They pace each other… and Zack raises his arm. He wants a test of strength against Washington! Rick looks at him asking if he's sure! But Mercer demands to test him! Rick shrugs and reaches out…but gets kicked in the gut! The crowd boos as Zack sucker punches Rick to a knee. Zack Irish Whips, except Rick doesn't budge. Zack tries again, and again Rick doesn't move! Rick counter whips Zack, and Gorilla Presses him! Rick walks around, showing off his power, then tosses Zack down on the canvas! Zack clutches his back and rolls out as Rick tries to get the crowd amped.

Elijah: "Effortless! Rick just made that look effortless!"

Rodney: "Truly a man blessed with God's strength!"

Orville: "That was impressive-"

Rodney: "SILENCE, HEATHEN! BEFORE YOU CURSE THIS HOLY MAN!"

Zack leans against the apron while holding his back. Rick steps out and lifts Zack. He carries him across the shoulders, but "The Black-Haired Outlaw" escapes and shoves Rick into the ringpost! Rick falls to his knees and clutches his head, but Zack grabs him and bounces his head off the announce table! He slams him again and again then turns and slams his head on the apron! He rolls a dazed Rick in the ring. As he pulls himself up, Zack climbs on the apron and hits the Rolling Thunder… and is lifted onto Rick's shoulders! He presses Zack up before planting him with a Powerslam! Rick hooks the leg!

1!

….

2! KICKOUT!

Orville: "It's been all Washington since the opening bell. Zack needs to figure out some way to counter that power advantage that Rick has."

Elijah: "Here's one way: roll over and give up! Because no one stands a chance with that kind of power!"

Rick grabs Zack and attempts to Powerbomb him. Rick lifts him up, but Zack punches Rick. He lands in front of him, kicks the gut, and plants Rick with a Spike DDT. Zack mounts and starts beating him with punches. He picks Rick up and slams him in the corner. Zack runs back, runs at him, and gets planted HARD with the Uranage out of the corner! Zack crawls up… and eats the Boomstick (Discus Clothesline)! Zack gets turned inside out! Rick rolls him over and covers!

1!

…

…

2!

…KICKOUT!

Zack manages to get an Arm up! But he's barely functioning! Rick gets up and tries to rally the crowd behind him! When Mercer gets up, Rick goes for Blackout (Gore)... but eats the Closing Time (Double Knee Facebuster)!

Orville: "And just like that, Zack Mercer takes control!"

Elijah: "Y'see, THIS is Rick's biggest disadvantage! He plays up to these hicks instead of going for the win!"

Zack crawls back up and lifts Rick across the shoulders. Rick fights off then shoves him to the ropes. He attempts the Blackout again, but Zack ducks behind, grabs him, and connects with the Hangover (Wristlock transitioned into High Knee)! Rick falls to his knees, and Zack hits a Spike Piledriver! Dragging Rick to the corner, he climbs up… and plants him with the Imploding 450 Splash! Zack hooks the leg!

…KICKOUT!

Orville: "My word! Zack Mercer is digging deep in his old bag of tricks! The lack of alcohol seems to be sharpening his senses!"

Rodney: "Rick nearly let that HEATHEN get the better of him!"

Elijah: "Come on, Rick! Get up! It's not over yet!"

Zack was irate that he didn't win! He scoops Rick up and BLASTS him with a Forearm! But Rick doesn't go down! Mercer berates him then slaps him across the face! Rick responds by KOing Zack with a brutal Forearm! Washington lifts and tosses Zack in the corner! The fists fly and connect to Mercer's face and body! The ref had to eventually step in and separate him! Rick steps back- Ace of Spades (Superkick) by Mercer! Washington is down! Mercer hooks the legs!

KICKOUT!

The crowd nearly thought Zack won! "The Black-Haired Outlaw" was livid! He screams at Rick to stay down before stomping and kicking him! He then goes and undos the turnbuckle pad. But the ref takes it from him! He goes to tie it back on which allows Mercer to pull out his whiskey bottle!

Orville: "Oh no…Mercer just pulled out a bottle of whiskey! He's grown desperate to put down his opponent!"

Rodney: "THAT SINNER! USING LIQUOR TO DRAG DOWN A CHRISTIAN MAN LIKE RICK WASHINGTON!"

Elijah doesn't say anything but rips off his headset! Mercer is about to hit Rick until Elijah runs on the apron and takes the bottle! Mercer screams at him which gets the referee's attention! The ref reprimands Elijah while Zack yells at him to give it back! Suddenly, Zack is lifted out of the air… and PLANTED with the Act of Ruthlessness (Running Freak Accident) by Ruthless Roger Stone! He rolls out as Elijah hops down from the apron. Rick comes to and sees Zack knocked out! Confused, he turns to see Stone and Elijah, and Elijah tells Rick to focus on Zack! As Zack gets up, Washington sprint off the ropes and hits the Blackout (Gore)! Rick hooks the leg!

"Here is your winner: RICK WASHINGTON!"

Rodney: "PRAISE JESUS FOR ELIJAH COMING TO THE AID OF RICK WASHINGTON AND PUTTING DOWN THE HERETIC OF ZACK MERCER!"

Orville: "By cheating as well!? I don't know if anyone would agree with that sentiment. Especially Rick Washington himself!"

Rick gets up being not too pleased with what happened. Elijah enters the ring, applauding him and raising his arm. Rick doesn't know how to respond to this. Elijah offers him a handshake… but Rick just stares at him. Elijah nods, understanding his doubts, and offers him a card. "You're special, Rick." he says. "I see it in you. And I want to help you achieve greatness. Feel free to call me anytime and we'll talk." Rick looks at the card and slowly takes it. Elijah smirks and leaves with Stone as Washington looks at the card.

Orville: "It appears Elijah wants to invite Rick Washington to sign with Holiday Promotions."

Rodney: "AFTER WHAT ELIJAH SUFFERED WITH THOSE HEATHENS IN MPI, I DO NOT BLAME HIM! WHAT A BLESSING IT WOULD BE WHEN RICK WASHINGTON SIGNS WITH ELIJAH HOLIDAY!"

Orville: "Bold to assume Rick would sign. But we'll have to wait and see how this unfolds. Coming up next, however, it is the first main event in the history of Warzone!"

The scene cuts backstage to the Legends of New School, sitting side-by-side, taping their wrists and warming up for the main event. Detrick pauses and looks over at Jason.

Detrick: "You good, man?"

Jason: "Yeah. I'm good." He finishes taping his wrists. "Are you two ready?"

Freddy: "We're always ready to steal the show."

Detrick nods in agreement which makes Jason smirk. They were suddenly interrupted by Mateo Guerrero walking over with some notes.

Mateo: "I still can't believe you two decided to show yourselves before the match! What happened to the element of surprise!?"

Detrick: "Look Mateo-"

Jason: He looks around and yells. "Hey, can we get security for this lost child!? Anyone!?"

Freddy & Detrick nearly laughed while Mateo was not thrilled at the slightest.

Mateo: "Can we just stay serious for tonight!? We should've got the jump on Bōryoku instead of dealing with this guy's problems!"

Detrick: "Look, Mateo. Jason needed us. It's important now more than ever that everyone sees the three of us are still united."

Mateo: "But we have our own stuff going on with Bōryoku-"

Freddy: "We'll deal with Bōryoku tonight. But it's also about sending a message to CJ, from the three of us directly, that his actions have consequences on himself and those around him!"

Mateo: He groans. "Fine then. At least look these over." He hands them each some notes. "I've come up with a game plan on how to deal with Mark & Bōryoku. Now I had to make some adjustments since CJ pulled out. But for the most part they're relatively the same ideas-"

Jason took one look at the notes and promptly tore all of them to shreds. He then tosses the pieces over a shocked and hurt Mateo

Jason: "Here's the game plan: The three of us go out and give a Legendary performance!"

Mateo: "Wha- Freddy! Detrick! You can't go along with this, right! I worked hard on-"

Detrick: "Mateo. Primo." He pats Mateo on the shoulders. "We appreciate you wanting to help us out tonight. We do. But tonight is gonna be a bit different. We're here to have Jason's back while getting payback on Bōryoku. Freddy & I haven't forgotten anything and we're not gonna take this lightly. But I'm asking you to let the Legends of New School handle things our way tonight. Okay?"

Mateo: He looks at Detrick with a miserable scowl. But he sighs and nods. "...Okay. I trust you guys to handle this. But just remember what I said: all that matters for La Familia are the Tag Titles. Nothing else."

Mateo soon walks away. Jason stands up and watches him leave.

Jason: "I know that's your family. But you two should watch your backs around him. I dont trust his shadiness."

Detrick: "We'll be okay. He's family. Plus, if I can deal with Freddy, then I can trust Mateo."

Freddy: "HEY!"

Jason: "Good point. Let's get going… cause IT'S TIME FOR THE MAIN EVENT!"

Jason glances at the camera.

Jason: "Right after these messages!"

(Break)

The scene opens back to Idris Williams in the ring!

"Ladies & gentlemen… IT'S TIME FOR THE VERY FIRST MAIN EVENT OF ICW WARZONE!"

Lydia (by Highly Suspect) plays to EXTREME boos! The lights go out as Mark Jacobs stands under a faint spotlight with the Heavyweight Title around his waist. As the lyrics begin, he looks up as the lights turn on with a flash. Jacobs looks around in disgust before slowly walking down to the ring. Mark climbs the steps, turning towards the crowd, and holds 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 and holding up his title once more.

"The following contest is a Six-Man Tag Team Match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Brooklyn, New York, standing 6ft tall and weighing in at 215 lbs, he is the ICW Heavyweight Champion: 'The Bane of Existence' MARK JACOBS!"

Orville: "It's been confirmed: Mark Jacobs will defend his ICW Heavyweight Championship against Jason Sabre next week at Warzone: Steel City Showdown from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania! But before we get there, Mark has to figure out how the hell he's gonna work with Bōryoku of all teams!

Rodney: "MARK JACOBS WORKING WITH DEMONS WILL NEVER WORK! HE IS IN A DANGEROUS POSITION THAT HE SHOULD NOT BE IN!"

As Mark climbs down, Kill Everything (by dangerkids) plays to equally LOUD boos! Everything stays dark during the first instrumentals. The screen stays dark with the words "Bōryoku" in hellish blue shining on the screen. When the lyrics play, a row of blue flames shoot up from the stage. They die down enough for the lights to catch CJ, Katashi, Kyoshi, & Ayako standing side-by-side. They all silently walk to the ring as the lights turn a purplish-blue. They all climb on the apron with their backs facing the hard cam. They all enter the ring and lean against the ropes, removing their demon masks.

"His tag team partners, representing Bōryoku, at a total combined weight of 472 lbs: THE KYOSHI WARRIOR & one half of the ICW Tag Team Champions, KATASHI SUZUKI!"

Rodney: "DEMONS! HEATHENS! HERETICS!"

Orville: "What was originally supposed to be Katashi and CJ, CJ removed himself from this match. But not before assaulting The Ace of Pro Wrestling and leaving him laying. Now it's The Kyoshi Warrior stepping in for the biggest match of his career!"

Mark watches Bōryoku glaring at everyone. They soon turn to face the "Bane of Existence" as tension begins to rise. The lights suddenly went out to a HUGE pop… and Stronger (by Kanye West) plays! The stage lights up with stars shining and showing the silhouettes of Freddy, Detrick, and Jason! Once they all pose, pyro shoots out around the trons and the lights come back on! All three guys soon make their way to the ring, high fiving fans and posing with them. They slide in the ring before posing again in front of the hardcam. Bōryoku and Mark just glare at them.

"Introducing their opponents, at a total combined weight of 700lbs: 'Detrick Cyrus, Freddy Escobar, and Jason Sabre' THE LEGENDS OF NEW SCHOOL!"

Orville: "A hero's welcome for the trio of Freddy, Detrick, and Jason! Collectively known as the Legends of New School! Who could forget their first iconic team-up, headlining Immortality 2 against Gen M! That time, Jason Sabre came to the aid of La Familia! And now La Familia are stepping up to help the Ace face off such formidable and dangerous opponents!

Rodney: "I may not like that HEATHEN, Jason Sabre, but even I cannot condone actions of literal DEMONS! So I pray God blesses Freddy and Detrick to SMITE DOWN Bōryoku while leaving Sabre to rot!"

Orville: "Too bad that's not how it works, Rodney! But enough talk! Let's get this match on!"

Mark then tells Bōryoku that he's starting the match! Bōryoku looks at each other…and they leave Mark in the ring! LONS sees this, glances at each other, and they leave Sabre in the ring with Mark!

From the moment the bell rings, the crowd were already on their feet for Jason & Mark to start off! Both champion and challenger stood across the ring, neither man breaking eye contact, Mark with a bitter scowl and Sabre his iconic smirk. "THIS IS AWESOME" chants break out as the two slowly pace around the ring. They pause…and get into an aggressive lockup. Jason applies the Side Headlock and Mark follows by grabbing the waist. He lifts Jason off his feet, but Jason wrenches the Headlock and lands back down. He follows up with an Arm Twist. Mark rolls on his back, kicking his grip free, and applies his own Arm Twist. Jason immediately rolls on his back, kip up, and Arm Twists into a Side Headlock Takedown. He holds Mark to the mat for a moment until Mark pushes himself back up. He pushes Sabre to the ropes and Whips him across. Both men collide with a Double Shoulder Tackle, but neither goes down! The two lock eyes, and Mark shoves Jason! Jason looks at the hard cam, smirks, and SMACKS Mark across the face! Mark rubs his face, then SLAPS Jason back! Mark then follows with a Side Headlock of his own. Jason quickly pushes him to the ropes then whips him across. Jason bends forward, looking for the Back Body Drop. But Mark stops… he quickly hooks the arms and attempts the Baneful Ways (Lifting Double Underhook DDT spun into a Reverse DDT)! But Jason spins out… and he goes for the Final Blow (RKO)! Mark SWIFTLY shoves him back before stumbling back to his corner!

Orville: "My word Sabre just nearly ended the match right then and there!"

Rodney: "THANK JESUS MARK MOVED AWAY!"

The crowd nearly lost their breaths! Mark looks at Jason wide eyed and breathing heavily. The Ace simply turns to Mark, smiles, and motions to him saying "This close." This made the champion's blood boil. He stands back up, ready to go again!... And the Kyoshi Warrior tags himself in! Mark turns and looks at him as if he was nuts! He was about to confront Kyoshi, but one look at him made Mark begrudgingly, but wisely, back out of the ring. Kyoshi glares at Sabre with crazed eyes. Jason was ready to go until Detrick called for him. He holds his hand out for a tag. Jason smirks and tags him in. Detrick slingshots himself in the ring and is immediately kicked in the gut by Kyoshi! Kyoshi Irish Whips Detrick across, and Cyrus rolls behind. He backflips into the Leg Trap, but Kyoshi cartwheels out of the way then BLASTS him with a Knife Edge Chop! The crowd winces at the crack as Detrick falls back against the corner. Kyoshi holds him steady…and CRACKS him again across the chest!

He CRACKS him again and again until Detrick could barely stand. Kyoshi looks down at his victim with a psychotic gaze. He whips Detrick to the other corner. Kyoshi then attempts the Cartwheel Back Elbow… but Detrick sidesteps and sends Kyoshi crashing. Cyrus catches Kyoshi with the Springboard Spin Kick… then proceeds to BLAST him with stiff Chops of his own! The crowd comes alive as Detrick chops Kyoshi until his chest turns a dark red! Detrick attempts the Dos Santos (Northern Lights Suplex floated over into a Cradle Suplex Sitout Powerbomb)! But Kyoshi counters into a Hurricanrana! As both roll up, Kyoshi attempts a Roundhouse Kick! But Detrick evades with a kip up and hits a Thrust Kick to the gut! He kicks the face, sweeps the legs, and goes for his own Roundhouse! But Kyoshi ducks back down, and Detrick tries the Standing Corkscrew Moonsault, but Kyoshi rolls out the way! Detrick hits the superhero landing just as Kyoshi rolls to his stomach! The crowd gave another standing ovation as both stared each other down!

Orville: "We have a standoff! It's amazing how the unsettling and loose cannon Kyoshi is hanging in there and going toe-to-toe with Detrick's natural agility!"

Rodney: "The work of SATAN! KYOSHI SHOULD BE CONDEMNED IN THE NAME OF GOD!"

The staredown was interrupted as Katashi called Kyoshi back! Kyoshi, not breaking eye contact, crawls backwards and tags in steps in and beckons Detrick to hit him in the face! Detrick gets up and prepares to strike, but Freddy yells out to him! He extends a hand, wanting to get some action in! Detrick nods and tags in his brother. Katashi smirks at Escobar standing across from him. Detrick and Jason get the crowd to hype Freddy up! Katashi puts his arms behind his back and stands still. Freddy rubs his hands together as the crowd hushes. He winds up…BAM! He hits the stiffest Open Hand Palm Strike across Katashi's chest! But Katashi doesn't budge! He stands there smiling at his opponent! Now Freddy puts his arms behind his back and dares Suzuki to hit him! Katashi holds him steady and breathes on his hand. The crowd hushes as he winds up... .and BLASTS him with a Forearm across the jaw! Sweat goes flying off Freddy's face as he goes down HARD! Jason and Detrick could only stare at their KOed partner…until Mark and Kyoshi knocked them off the apron! They all soon surround Freddy and proceed to stomp him down! As Mark dumps him out, he beckons to his partners to follow his lead. Kyoshi and Katashi didn't seem to like this, but they followed him anyway. The trio runs across the ring…just as the Legends slide back in!

All six men stared each other down… and a HUGE brawl breaks out in the ring! Mark and Jason trade blows while Katashi fights Freddy with Detrick & Kyoshi go at it! Eventually, the Legends take control and dumps everyone out. The trio then go to the ropes, and they all hit simultaneous Slingshot Crossbodies! They got up and got the crowd hyped!

Orville: "Legends are doing Legends things as they take full control of the match!"

A "LEGENDS" chant breaks out as Freddy rolls Katashi back in. Sliding back in, he tags Detrick and lifts Katashi over his back. Cyrus leaps in and they hit the (Gory Special (Freddy)/Side Flip Reverse STO (Detrick) combination)! Detrick hooks the leg.

KICKOUT!

Detrick rolls over and tags Jason. They aim at Katashi as Detrick hits Jason with the Aided Reverse Schoolboy Roll. Sabre leaps out and goes for the cutter…and gets caught in a Flying Juji Gatame from Suzuki! Mark quickly drags Cyrus out and SLAMS him against the barricade! Kyoshi drags Freddy down and Bodyslams him down on the ramp! In the ring, Sabre tries to roll out of the hold, but Katashi transitions into a Triangle Choke! Sabre flails around to break free… until Freddy dashes in and breaks the hold. He drags Katashi up and hits repeated forearms. Katashi stuns him with a knee to the gut before dumping him back up. Suzuki lifts Jason to his feet, but Jason ducks behind and hits a Snap Dragon Suplex. Freddy gets back on the apron as Jason tags him back in.

As Katashi crawls up, Freddy Springboards and hits the Prince's Blade (Springboard Knee Strike), knocking him back to a knee! He knocks Mark and Kyoshi off the apron then runs and hits the Blockbuster on Katashi! Escobar gets the crowd amped up as "Freddy" chants begin to break out. Freddy lifts Katashi and goes for the Royal-Plex (Bridging Fisherman Suplex). But Katashi breaks free and hits a Discus Forearm! With Freddy dazed, he then applies the Sleeper Hold and hits a Sleeper Suplex on the head & neck! The crowd winces at the impact as the ref checks on Freddy.

Katashi goes for the kill…until Mark tags himself in! This surprises Katashi, but Mark says to him "I'm the champ so I'm handling this!" When Freddy stood up, Mark leaps over Katashi and hits Escobar with a Springboard Clothesline! He glaces right over at Sabre, who stares back unimpressed. Mark stands over Freddy and wraps his arms around his waist. He then deadlifts Freddy and hits a Bridging German Suplex!

KICKOUT!

Rodney: "What blessed power Mark Jacobs has! Just deadlifting Freddy like he was garbage!"

Orville: "Despite a kickout, it's clear Mark is only focused on sending Jason a message!"

Mark gets up and stomps down on Freddy. Grabbing both wrists, he attempts his standing Komatose (Knee Strike) until Kyoshi tags himself in! Mark was not thrilled, but again one look at Kyoshi made Mark back off. Kyoshi then turns back to Freddy and starts choking him with his bare hands! Kyoshi then drags Freddy to the corner and begins lighting up his chest with multiple chops! Kyoshi then sits him at the top rope and climbs up. He attempts a Superplex, but Freddy begins to fight out! He kicks Kyoshi back to the canvas, then kicks Mark and Katashi to the floor. Kyoshi stumbles up, and Escobar hits the Crowning Moment (Panama Sunrise)! Both men laid in the ring as the crowd came alive! Detrick stomps his foot as the crowd claps along! Both guys crawl to their corners. Kyoshi tags Katashi just as Freddy tags Detrick!

The crowd pops as both rushes for each other! Detrick hits Katashi with the Arm Trap Discus Lariat! Katashi stumbles up as Detrick backflips off his chest and hits a Step Up Enziguri! The Irish Whip follows, but Katashi counters and whips him instead. Cyrus ducks a Clothesline and hits the Springboard European Uppercut! Kyoshi runs in and tries to Lariat Detrick. But he ducks with a Kip Up! Detrick back kicks his gut, then Punts the face, and finishes with an Enziguri! Kyoshi stumbles to the ropes where he gets Clotheslined over. As Katashi gets up, Detrick runs and attempts a Handspring Cutter…only to get caught in a Rear Naked Choke! Katashi then takes him down into the Saka Otoshi! Detrick is fading rapidly! He uses his power to push himself to his knees. Katashi lets him go, runs, and hits a BRUTAL Penalty Kick! He covers.

….KICKOUT!

As Katashi drags him over, Mark suddenly gets on the apron and tags himself in! Katashi turns and glares at Mark, who steps in and glances back at him. He then grabs Detrick's arms and looks at Jason! Mark points the gun taunt right at him before doing the Double Wrist Lock Head Stomps on Cyrus!

Orville: "My word those are some NASTY stomps to the head! How can anyone condone this!?"

Rodney: "Mark Jacobs is laying out a God-like punishment in His Holy Name!"

Mark scoops up Detrick and goes for the X-Plex! Detrick instead counters into a Twisting Hurricanrana! Mark rolls up, Cyrus runs at him, and Mark side steps and tries the Rebound Snap German Suplex! But Detrick lands on his feet, rolls past Mark, and makes the leaping tag to Sabre!

Orville: "And the Ace is in! We're back to Mark VS Jason!"

The crowd comes unglued as Mark and Jason stand face-to-face in the ring again! Mark tries to slap Jason, who ducks and Forearms him! Mark responds with a Forearm Shot of his own! The two are trading Forearms in the center of the ring with the crowd going nuts! Mark catches Jason with two quick body jabs then a Spin Kick to the gut!

Jason sidesteps and sends Kyoshi running into a Double apron Enziguri! Kyoshi stumbles to The Ace, who hooks the arm and hits the Death Plex (Suplex into Double Knee Backbreaker)! Seeing all three opponents down, Sabre tells the Legends to go up top! They all climb up! They leap up for the Final Hour/Ode To Guerreros (Frog Splashes)! And they all crash on the knees of Mark & Bōryoku! Mark soon puts Jason in the Guillotine! Katashi locks the Sleeper Hold on Freddy! And Kyoshi applies the Crossface Chickenwing on Detrick!

Orville: "The Legends are all trapped! This is extremely dangerous! All three may just pass out!"

Rodney: "RISE, LEGENDS! FEEL THE HOLY GHOST AND RISE UP!"

The crowd is in a frenzy! The Legends look to be fading! But Freddy pulls up and throws himself and Katashi into Kyoshi! Now free, Escobar then Superkicks Mark out to the floor! Katashi gets up and reapplies the Sleeper on Freddy! Just as he starts fading, Jason returns the favor by saving Freddy with a Superkick to Katashi! But Katashi doesn't go down!

Rodney: "DRAGON MUTILATOR! THIS IS WHERE THE ACE MEETS HIS DEMISE!"

Orville: "How shocking would it be if Mark Jacobs would make Sabre submit! So close to their Heavyweight Title clash!?"

Sabre's body starts to fade as Mark holds him tight! But The Ace still had energy left to pull himself up! He hits a Snapmare on Mark before applying the Final Breath (Crossface)!

"Here are your winners: LEGENDS OF NEW SCHOOL!"

Orville: "THE LEGENDS DOES IT AGAIN! THEY HAVE DEFEATED MARK JACOBS AND BŌRYOKU! WHAT A MATCH!"

Rodney: "PRAISE JESUS TO THE SLAYERS OF THOSE FILTHY DEMONS!"

The crowd is going NUTS! Freddy & Deteick all celebrate in the ring. Mark, holding his title, glares as Sabre points right at him! But then loud clapping is heard from the screen. LONS all turn to the titantron to see CJ Hawk, backstage, slowly clapping.

CJ: "Good job, guys. That was… about as I expected from the three of you. Most of all you, Jason. I heard your message, and we'll settle this when that time comes. But Freddy…Detrick…man you two disappoint me. I expected better from you guys. You two failed to live by the phrase 'Keep your friends close… but your family closer…' But don't take my word for it… what do you think, Mateo?"

The camera pans down and shows Mateo on the floor beaten, tattered, coughing and gasping for air. La Famila immediately runs out of the ring and dash to the back and towards their cousin!

Rodney: "It sickens me to no end how far CJ Hawk has fallen! Not even God would have mercy on his soul!"

Orville: "CJ Hawk attacking Freddy & Detrick's own cousin… just how far is CJ willing to go to prove his point!? Is it necessary at this point!?"

As Sabre watches La Familia go to help Mateo, Mark rolls in behind with his title in hand. Jason turns and ducks a belt shot by Mark! He grabs Mark and goes for the Final Blow, but Mark shoves him and scatters out to the floor! Mark grabs his title and backs off as Sabre motions to his waist!

Orville: "Mark Jacobs nearly got the jump of Sabre! But Sabre was ready and nearly dropped Mark! Both men, nearly equal… something has to give when they collide, one-on-one, in Pittsburgh!"

Rodney: "I PRAY, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, THAT MARK STRIKES DOWN THE HEATHEN, JASON SABRE, ONCE AND FOR ALL! IN JESUS NAME… AMEN!"

Orville: "Thank you all so much for joining us in this premiere of ICW Warzone! I have been Orville Moore joined by 'The Good Reverend', Rodney Lee! And we will see you all back on the Battlefield! Until next-"

All of the lights suddenly cut off! Everyone grows confused…until flames shoot out from the stage right behind Mark! And standing on-stage… is Azriel!

Mark stumbles and falls back at the sight of the "King of Despair!" The crowd pops as Sabre watches on. Azriel matches gaze with Jason… before directing it right at the panicked Mark! "AZRIEL" chants break out from the crowd!

…Until the Revolution logo and signal goes off!

The crowd goes crazier as Unstoppable (by Motionless in White) plays! The lights come back on as everyone looks to see Revolution walking out through the crowd. Ava leads them down followd by Sai, Clay, and finally Christian! Revolution looks on as Mark, Jason, and Azriel turns their attention to them! The screen even quickly cuts backstage to show Ced watching all of this from a monitor! It then cuts back to Mark holding his title on the ramp, Jason looking on from the ring, Azriel at the top of the stage, and Revolution standing the crowd!

The Revolution logo then pops up on the screen before cutting to black…
