Before the show…
The scene opens with Evan Neal arriving at his office. He is on the phone with someone as he steps in and sets his stuff down.
Neal: "Now, now, Ms. Espinoza! I know you are up in arms about the chaos within ICW! But I can assure you that none of those are a result of me!"
Once he shuts the door, Evan puts the call on speaker.
Espinoza: "You make that VERY hard to believe, Neal! I leave for a FEW days… and I'm getting reports about Ayako Suzuki showing up!? Brianna Kelly joining Legacy! AZRIEL PUTTING A SMALL CHILD THROUGH A TABLE!?"
Neal: "That…. that was Trey Gold-"
Espinoza: "¡Callate la boca! Eres estúpido para permitir que esto suceda!"
Neal: He sighs. "Alright, Alright. I understand the concerns you may have. But I can assure you that everything will go smoothly tonight. Like you, I also want to see ICW's One Year Anniversary go off without a hitch."
Espinoza: "...Good. And just to make sure you'll be a man… and a man of your word, I signed off on the girls in Legacy against Sofia and The Misfits tonight!"
Neal: "That is a wonderful idea!"
Espinoza: "I know. Which is why I made sure the rest of Legacy is banned from the arena."
Neal: "That's good- wait WHAT!?"
Espinoza: "Is there a problem, Neal?"
Neal: "Yes there's a problem! What about La Rebelion!? How can they be trusted to not be involved!?"
Espinoza: "...Are you insinuating that my boys hit women?"
Neal: "Well-... uhhh… I mean…no?" If Alexis could see him, she would see Evan begin to sweat nervously.
Espinoza: "Good, because they would never do such a thing. Now Legacy? I know who Flair & Helmsley's daddies are! They can't be trusted to not get involved. So they won't be allowed in the building! Do I make myself clear?"
Neal: "...Yes, Ms. Espinoza." He sighs.
Espinoza: "I expect this show to be flawless while I'm gone, Neal. So I'll be keeping an eye on things while I handle R.O.U.G.E business. Tonight is too important to go wrong. I expect a flawless show, and a new Heavyweight Champion. To another year of ICW."
With that, she hangs up. Neal slumps down at his desk, drained and nervous for tonight. He sits there as the scene cuts to the intro.
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 pops out from the stage and above the ring! The lights come back on as the camera pans over to the crowd of about 16,000 who are all waving around yellow towels, cheering and screaming! The camera soon cuts over to commentary.
Orville: "One year to the day ICW first entered your homes, we are coming from you LIVE from the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! We welcome you to this historic, second ever edition of Warzone: STEEL CITY SHOWDOWN! Orville Moore calling the action alongside 'The Good Reverend' Rodney Lee!"
Rodney: "Let us PRAISE JESUS for blessing ICW with a full calender year of his holy spirit! And now let us pray that the holy ghost touchest down on the infested airwaves of Pittsburgh and its Yinzers! Can I get an AMEN!"
Orville: "Ooookay then…. Anyway, this week marks the one-year anniversary of the arrival of the International Championship Wrestling. There's been highs, there's been lows, but there would be no ICW if it wasn't for the fans who comes out to the shows, who continues to tune in, and who supports each and every wrestler here. So from us to you, thank you!"
Rodney: "And thank Jesus that ICW still blesses us with some of the best fans in the world! So that the Good Reverend can continue to bless their sinful lives with The Holy Ghost!"
Orville: "If you say so… but to celebrate, we have FIVE huge matches all lined up for tonight's show! Who will leave with the Immortal Opportunity as Marvelous Tate Williams puts it on the line against the former Heavyweight Champion, Will Ralston!"
Rodney: "Speaking of Champions, the Demolition Title will be up for grabs as the maniac Furno Moxley defends against the Gen M's blessed Dylan Torres!"
Orville: "Six Woman Tag Team action as The Misfits's Daria St. Leger & Alexandra Xenou teams up with Honorary Misfit, Sofia Reynoso, to take on Legacy's Carson Michaels, Angelica Rhodes, and their newest memeber…the returning Brianna Bordens! And in tonight's main event, the ICW Heavyweight Championship will be on the line in possibly the biggest main event in ICW's history as Jason Sabre gets his shot against Mark Jacobs! But right now, we're kicking things off with the Eight Person Tag Team Match between Bōryoku and La Familia plus a mystery partner!"
Kill Everything (by dangerkids) plays to 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.
"The following contest is an Eight Person Mixed Tag Team Match! Introducing first… Ayako Suzuki, The Kyoshi Warrior, and the ICW Tag Team Champions Katashi Suzuki & CJ Hawk: They are BŌRYOKU!"
Orville: "It was back on Battlefield that saw the arrival of Ayako Suzuki, Katashi's cousin & the daughter of Minoru Suzuki! To say she has a deep history with Bōryoku would be an understatement, especially with CJ Hawk-"
Rodney: "That succubus should be condemned straight to hell! I heard what Jazz said calling her a hellspawn, and anyone associated with Bōryoku!"
Orville: "This is Ayako's ICW in-ring debut as well. Her style matches that of her namesake: she hits hard and tends to rip body parts on regular occasion! We can only speculate who La Familia found to handle Ayako!"
As Bōryoku waited in the corner, Ayako leaning near CJ, Familia (by Nicki Minaj & Anuel AA feat. Bantu) begins to play to a BIG pop! Freddy, Detrick, & Mateo all walk out together. They march down the ramp, keeping their gaze at Bōryoku. Bōryoku all got up and stood in the center. La Familia makes it to the ring, but stops just short of it. Detrick points at CJ. He then points at Ayako… and then points to the stage.
The music dies down…
Nothing happens for about seven seconds…
And then I Like It (by Cardi B) starts to play. A 5'7" hooded Latina girl, with an athletic build but proper curves storms out. She wore a black crop top Jersey (think Nikki Bella) with white bandana print on the outline, white wrist tape, black wrestling shorts with the same design scheme, black knee pads with black and white kickpads in bandana print designs on the front (Naomi circa '15), white sneakers, a black and white letterman jacket with a hood and a black bandana face cover. She walks up and stood side-by-side with La Familia.
"Introducing their opponents: 'Detrick Cyrus, Freddy Escobar, Mateo Guerrero… and 'LATINA LOCA' ALEXIS GUERRERO:' LA FAMILIA!"
The woman removes the hood & bandana to reveal it is indeed Alexis Guerrero! The crowd pops HUGE as her emerald green eyes burned directly at Ayako! She brushes back her black wavy hair with dark red highlights in the middle, removed her jacket (revealing her Tattoo of a broken heart stitched back up on her left wrist), runs in and TACKLES AYAKO! The rest of La Familia slides in and attacks Bōryoku!
Orville: "The speculations were right! La Familia brought in Alexis Guerrero! And now the fight is on!"
The brawl is on! And the crowd is LOVING this! All four sides fought in the ring! Kyoshi knocks Mateo back against the ropes! He runs but Mateo drapes the ropes and sends Kyoshi tumbles over to the floor! Freddy follows up by chucking Katashi over the ropes and near Kyoshi! Detrick looks to do the same, but CJ breaks away. He knocks down Freddy, Detrick, & Mateo one-by-one! As Freddy & Detrick got up, he attempts a Double Clothesline but Freddy & Detrick ducks! CJ turns right into a Triple Superkick that sends him flying out! Alexis meanwhile beats down on Ayako until the latter escapes to the floor! Ayako regroups with Bōryoku and helps them up, but La Familia isn't giving them the chance! All four of the Guerrero kids sprint across the ring and hit Tope Con Hilos at the same time! Pittsburgh gets to their feet as La Familia got everyone raving!
Orville: "La Familia clearly caught Bōryoku off guard! They weren't ready for Mateo's sister, Alexis Guerrero, to arrive here tonight!"
Rodney: "God sent Alexis as the answer to La Familia's prayers!"
Alexis grabs Ayako and rolls her back in. The bell finally sounds as Alexis grabs Ayako by the hair and drags her up. She walks over and slams her face in the corner. Alexis holds her up and says "Imma make you regret putting your hands on mi familia, puta!" And she hits a LOUD Overhand Chop to Ayako! Ayako clutches her upper chest, but Alexis holds her still and Chops her again! But then Ayako immediately swings back with her own Chop! Alexis is caught off-guard and stumbles back clutching her own upper chest. Ayako looks annoyed with Alexis and kicks her across the face! But this sets off The Lucha Heiress who gets right back in Ayako's face! The crowd begins to grow louder as Alexis SMACKS her across the face! Ayako brushes her hair to the side … then SMACKS Alexis right back! Alexis wipes her mouth… then swings and BLASTS Ayako with a stiff Knife Edge Chop! Ayako stumbles back and hits a BRUTAL Chop of her own! Chop from Alexis! Chop from Ayako! Back and forth! And back and forth! And back and forth the two ladies repeatedly Chopped away at each other's chests to a big ovation from the Pittsburgh natives!
Orville: "My goodness, they're hitting each other harder than most men would!"
Finally, Ayako catches Alexis with a Knee Lift to the gut; The crowd grows to soft boos as Ayako pushes Alexis to the ropes. With the tag to CJ, she whips Alexis from the ropes across; Mateo gets a blind tag on the rebound. And Alexis ducks past CJ before hitting a Hurricanrana to Ayako! The Princess of Pancrase slides out, but Alexis slingshots herself over and onto Ayako! CJ sees this… Until Mateo rolls him up!

KICKOUT!
CJ pushes Mateo off him. Mateo rolls up… and gets Booted RIGHT in the face! Mateo was OUT COLD!
Rodney: "SWEET JESUS CJ just kicked the Holy Ghost out of Mateo!"
Orville: "CJ Hawk has had enough of the games!"
Pittsburgh HATED CJ, raining down boos and chants of "YOU SUCK!" CJ looks around at them but ultimately brushes them off. He grabs Mateo's arm and drags him to Bōryoku's corner. Katashi tags in as they get to work stomping down on Mateo! CJ finally leaves as Katashi stands over Mateo with twisted glee. He lifts Mateo up and hits a STIFF Forearm! Mateo almost falls over but Katashi keeps him up. He tags in Kyoshi and takes turns Chopping him across the chest! until his chest turned red. They then double whip him to an empty corner. Kyoshi attempts the Cartwheel Elbow, but Mateo ducks aside! Kyoshi crashes back first as Mateo leaps and tags Freddy!
Kyoshi stumbles forward, and Freddy hits the Prince's Blade (Springboard Knee Strike)! Escobar rolls up then knocks the tag champs off the apron! "FREDDY" chants break out from Pittsburgh! Kyoshi stumbles around but shakes off the knee. Freddy runs across and Kyoshi swings a Lariat! But he ducks, runs back, and hits the Blockbuster! Escobar was fired up, and so was the crowd! Kyoshi gets up, and Freddy hits a jab! Freddy hits another jab! He does a shuffle to a BIG pop… And Burning Lariat by Kyoshi! And Freddy was flipped over HARD! The cheers shifted to boos as Kyoshi rolls him over for the pin!

…KICKOUT!
Orville: "A count of two, but my word that Burning Lariat nearly decapitated Freddy Escobar!"
Rodney: "That was such an Unholy move, I can't help but feel disgusted!"
Kyoshi drags Freddy up and dumps him in the corner. He throws some Shoot Kicks across the chest and then a Stiff Chop! Katashi tags in, and they twist both of Freddy's arms! They soon take turns shoot kicking him across the chest, sending Freddy to his knees. Kyoshi lets go and exits, leaving Katashi to continue the attack! Freddy's body finally collapses from the kicks which puts a smile on Katashi's face. Still holding to his arms, he pulls Freddy's up and kicks him across the face! He degrades Freddy with a few more kicks! Katashi lets him go and runs the ropes. But Freddy ducks the incoming Penalty Kick! He leaps up and connects on a Pele Kick! Katashi stumbles back to his corner, where CJ tags himself back in. CJ walks over to Freddy and pulls him back up. He attempts the Back Suplex… but Freddy flips behind! And he hits the Reverse Rana to CJ! Freddy stumbles over… and leaps to tag Detrick!
The crowd pops HUGE for Cyrus, who leaps in and just stares at CJ! CJ stumbles a bit to his feet. And as soon as he looks at Cyrus- OVERTIME (Leaping Reverse STO) BY DETRICK! Katashi runs in, but Detrick ducks and hits an Arm-Trap Discus Lariat! Kyoshi attempts the Slingshot Lariat, but Detrick evades with a Kip-Up… INTO THE 915 (Trouble in Paradise)! Kyoshi immediately rolls out, leaving Detrick alone with CJ; CJ pulls himself up again, and Detrick turns to his former friend… and Superkicks him in the corner! Detrick immediately unloads a flurry of right hooks to CJ! He's punching him relentlessly, even pushing away the referee!
Orville: "Detrick Cyrus has finally lost it! He is taking out ALL of his pent up aggression on CJ!"
Rodney: "About time! You know how long the world's been waiting for this!? CJ had this coming when he turned his back on The Holy Ghost!"
The crowd LOVED this! But then from behind, Detrick gets German Suplexed by Ayako! Freddy runs in and goes for her! Ayako ducks as Freddy runs off ropes. Ayako runs behind as Freddy turns. She ducks behind, grabs his arm, and hits the Fujin's Blade (Riott Kick)! Here comes Mateo running in. He grabs Ayako and spins her around, attempting to swing at her! But Ayako blocks and hits a STIFF Elbow! Mateo was KOed on his feet as Ayako chokes him out with Rear Naked Choke! Mateo slumps down to his knees! She lets him go and attempts the Hime-Driver (Cross Armed Piledriver)! But then Alexis runs in, Springboards off the ropes, and hits a Canadian Destroyer! Ayako bounces up… and lets out a scream! She throws out a Lariat, but Alexis ducks it, runs across, and hits a Jumping Knee Strike! Ayako slides out to the floor, holding her face. She looks up, and gets taken out with a Suicide Somersault Senton by Alexis! The crowd got to their feet! Alexis rolls up… and hits a Torpedo DDT through the ring post to Katashi! Alexis climbs on the apron, leaps up top, and hits the Diving Crossbody to Kyoshi! Pittsburgh is on FIRE for Alexis Guerrero! She rolls in and helps her Familia up Just as CJ pulls himself up.

"Here are your winners: LA FAMILIA!"
Orville: "What a wild ending to a wild tag match! Mateo with the biggest assist we could have possibly seen! Thanks to him, Detrick Cyrus became just the third person to ever pin CJ in ICW!"
Rodney: "HEATHENS! ALL OF THEM! THAT MATEO HAS COMMITTED A SIN OF THE HIGHEST ORDER! THAT CHEATER!"
Orville: "He's a Guerrero through and through! And it helped La Familia get a HUGE win over Bōryoku!"
The crowd pops BIG TIME! CJ and Detrick are still knocked out. Kyoshi pulls CJ out and helps him up. Katashi was clearly pissed off while Ayako still wanted to fight! In the ring, Freddy & Mateo help Detrick up while Alexis rolls in and beckons Ayako to come get some! Ayako was about to enter until Katashi stopped her. She looks at him, looks at the knocked out CJ, looks back at Alexis… and reluctantly retreats with Bōryoku. Detrick soon comes to as he looks around and realizes he won. He looks at Mateo and asks what happened, but Mateo says don't worry about it and goes back to celebrating! Freddy soon pulls out the Terrible Towels, Handing them to everyone, and starts waving them around with the crowd! They all wave them together… while Detrick still looks at Mateo questioningly.
Orville: "I wonder if Detrick knew what happened, if he would be okay with this outcome."
Rodney: "OF COURSE NOT! Detrick is a man of God unlike his family of heathens!"
Orville: "Then again, a win like this does wonders for tag title aspirations. We'll see what happens later on."
The cameras cut backstage to catering. There, Rick Washington sat at a table with his food and looked over Holiday Promotions's business card.
Somebody soon walks over and takes a seat next to him. As Rick turns to see who it was, the camera pans over to reveal Elijah Holiday.
Elijah: "Rick Washington! My man! I see you're still thinking about our conversation?"
Rick: "Yeah… but I'm still unsure about any of this. And how it fits into being…well, me."
Elijah: "Ah, yes. The Powerhouse of Soul. I get it. And I respect it. I won't talk you to death tonight. Holiday Promotions has a busy night ahead of us. But I just came by to offer you a better view into the Immortal Opportunity Match. Front row seats. Right next to yours truly."
Rick: He ponders the offer for a moment before nodding. "Alright, I can do that. What's the worst that could happen?"
Elijah smiles and pats Rick on the back. He and Washington get up and walk off together….
((Ad Break))
The screen cuts backstage to Natalie Gutierrez in the Interview Room.
Natalie: "Ladies & gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time… The challenger in tonight's ICW Heavyweight Championship Match, 'The Ace' Jason Sabre!"
Jason walks in camera frame, dressed and ready to wrestle tonight.
Natalie: "Well, Ace. Tonight is THE big night. You and Mark for the Heavyweight Championship! Simply asked: what're your thoughts going into this match tonight?"
Sabre takes a moment to think about his answer.
Jason: "...One year. One year of ICW. We've seen so many shifts. So many changes. And all the fans have wanted… begged, pleaded, demanded… was for The Ace! When I finally arrived, I could've gone after any title: International, Demolition, even Tag Team… But there was only one championship that the people want to see me win: And that's the Heavyweight Championship! And now, one year later, the fans will see their dreams come true! Their wishes granted! Because that's all this is about: Giving the people what they want! After a year of struggle and tribulations, they can FINALLY have a Heavyweight Champion they can love, support, and be proud of! Tonight isn't just about me! It's about the fans who stuck with ICW from the very beginning and kept it going through the best of times… and especially the worst of times! And I plan on celebrating ICW's one year anniversary by giving an Ace-Level beatdown to Mark Jacobs and becoming the ICW Heavyweight… Champion…"
Sabre trails off as he sees someone walking up to him. The camera turns to reveal Revolution's Ava Knight. She looks up with her hands in her pockets and a side smile on her face.
Ava: "That was a good speech, Ace. But remember what the future holds after tonight. Regardless of the outcome, no one can stop the Revolution. Not the Bane of Existence…" She looks Jason dead in his eyes with her smile gone. "And not the Ace of Pro Wrestling." She looks at him for five seconds before her smile returns to her face. "Good luck tonight."
Ava casually turns and walks away, leaving Jason tense and on his guard….
The screen cuts back to ringside, with Rick Washington sitting in the front row.
"The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the IMMORTAL OPPORTUNITY!"
Failure (by Breaking Benjamin) plays to a mild reaction. Out walks Will Ralston, not paying attention to anyone. But when he's followed out by Clayton Palmer & Jade Madison, the pop starts to fill the arena. Will doesn't pay them any mind as he slides to the ring, climbs up one corner, and raises his fists in the air.
Orville: "My how times have changed for Will Ralston. He was on the very first episode of ICW one year ago, defeating Genocide in the first round of the International Championship Tournament in one of the quickest matches in ICW! Now here he stands, a former Heavyweight Champion looking to capture that glory once more. This time with the use of the Immortal Opportunity!"
Rodney: "The Lord tells me there is darkness growing within Will Ralston, Moore! I pray that recent events and failures do not turn him away from the Holy Spirit!"
I Don't Wanna Stop (by Ozzy Osbourne) plays to big boos! A stream of gold sparks rains down on the entrance ramp as Tate Williams walks out, holding up the Immortal Briefcase, his arms wide open and a big cocky smile on his face. Elijah follows behind as Tate heads to the ring. When he steps inside, he heads to the turnbuckle to do a glorious pose and yells "Marvelous" while holding up the gold case.
Orville: "This is the very first time the Immortal Opportunity is on the line prior to the winner cashing in said opportunity. Unlike the previous holder, Tate wants to wait to pick the right moment. However, this has opened up the idea of him defending it as if he was a champion already. And thanks to Will Ralstom and the rest of MPI, Tate finds himself in that very scenario."
Rodney: "God knows that being a champion is a difficult task to achieve and maintain! But Tate and the rest of Holiday Promotions are blessed and highly favored, so I trust Tate will leave with the opportunity intact!"
The lights dim as they stand across from each other. The lone spotlight shines down on the ring.
"Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Clayton Palmer & Jade Madison, from. Glasgow, Scotland, standing 6'2" & weighing 210 lbs: 'The Avenger' WILLLLLL RALSTOOOOON!"
The crowd reacts positively but not super vocal about Will. Will just raises his fists while Clayton and Jade hypes him up.
"And his opponent, accompanied to the ring by Elijah Holiday & representing Holiday Promotions, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, standing 6'3" & weighing 231 lbs, he holds the Immortal Opportunity: 'The Immortal Marvelous One' MARVELOUS TATE WILLIAMS!"
The boos pour in as Tate holds up the Immortal Briefcase. Elijah is the only one clapping for him in the arena. The ref takes the gold case before holding it up.
Orville: "Who will leave with the Immortal Opportunity, and move one step closer to becoming Heavyweight Champion?"
The bell rings, and both men Lock up. Tate pushes Ralston against the ropes. He throws a punch, but Will ducks and hits a LOUD, swift Chop to the chest! Tate flies into the corner, clutching his chest. Will steps back and fires his gun hand gesture. Tate gets up while brushing his chest. They both pace and Lock Up again. Will puts Tate in a Side Headlock and Tate pushes him against the ropesm He whips him across, and Will Shoulder Blocks Tate to the ground. Will runs as Tate rolls prone. But Will drops down and attempts the Anaconda Vice!
Tate scrambles to his feet and pushes Will far back. As Will bounces off the ropes, Tate hits the Kitchen Sink. Will clutches his gut while Tate takes a breather. He approached Will… who scoops him up for the GTS! But Tate fights out and sends Will to the ropes. Will runs straight into a Flapjack! But he holds on and counters to Sunset Flip… and transitions back into the Anaconda Vice! But Tate escapes out of the ring. He regroups with Elijah, but Will slides out and grabs his head! And he slams it off the apron! Will then slams his body against the barricade in front of Washington! Will looks at Rick before holding Tate up. He chops Tate HARD across the chest! Tate escapes back in the ring. Will rolls in and Chops Tate against the ropes! He chops him again then Irish Whips him. Will attempts Back Body Drop, but Tate leaps frogs over. Will shoots up and Tate hits a Forearm to the back of the head, knocking Will down hard!
Orville: "That was a nasty shot to Will's head!"
Rodney: "Precise and deadly! That is the style of The Marvelous Man of God!"
Elijah enjoyed what he was seeing from Tate. Clayton and Jade were not happy but continued to rally for Will. Tate pulls Will up, and he hits the Swinging Neckbreaker! The leg is hooked.

Rodney: "Elijah is a Man of God! He has faith that the blessing is with Tate on this night!"
Will picks up Tate, hooks the arms, and hits a Snap Vertical Suplex. Will climbs back up and stands upright. He looks down at Tate before going for the Diving Headbutt!

Orville: "Oh no… looks like Holiday Promotions are making their presence known!"

"Here is your winner and remains the holder of the Immortal Opportunity: MARVELOUS TATE WILLIAMS!"
Orville: "Amidst all the chaos, Marvelous Tate Williams keeps hold of the Immortal Opportunity!"
Rodney: "Blessed and favored is the Marvelous Man of God!"
Orville: "And it looks like the fighting isn't quite done yet!"
Tate pulls himself up, taking the briefcase and holding it up. He smirks and continues to stomp on Will. Asher then rolls in and attacks Tate for the save! Asher knocks Tate against the ropes just as Ralston gets back up. They Dropkick Tate over the ropes and near Washington. Rick looks down at Tate crawling up. Asher soon runs for the Suicide Dive! But Tate moves away and Asher CRASHES INTO WASHINGTON!
Rodney: "SWEET JESUS! Asher just attacked a defenseless Rick!"
Orville: "I'm sure it was an accident, but Asher just LEVELED Washington pretty hard!"
The crowd gasps at the sudden attack! Asher slowly gets up worryingly looks over Washington! Will even looks over to see if he's okay. But Tate slides in and jumps Ralston from behind! This catches Asher's attention and he hurries back to save him! He and Will soon fight Tate together! Will then throws Tate over near Holiday Promotions. Asher turned around- BLACKOUT (Gore) BY WASHINGTON!
Orville: "MY WORD! Rick just took out both guys!"
Rodney: "Praise Jesus! He's okay!"
Will was shocked at Rick's sudden attack! But Tate rolls in and SMACKS him in the back with the briefcase! Koji & Gambler quickly run in, but Rick takes them both down with Double Clotheslines! Luke leaps off the ropes, but Rick catches him with ease and tosses him out the ring! Everyone boos as Rick stands around the pile of bodies. Elijah Holiday and the rest of Holiday Promotions enter the ring. Elijah pulls out a contract from his jacket and hands it to Rick. Rick looks it over then looks down at Asher. He kneels down, takes out a pen, and he signs it over Darma's back! Elijah was overjoyed and raises his hand in victory! Clayton & Jade look on in shock as Rick poses with the rest of Holiday Promotions to major boos!
Orville: "That accident might have made the decision for Rick to sign with Holiday Promotions!"
Rodney: "Elijah's group of All-Stars have been blessed with the edition of Rick Washington! And now Holiday Promotions looks to be unstoppable!"

The screen cuts backstage to Natalie in the Interview Room once again.
Natalie: "Ladies & gentlemen, please welcome my guests at this time: Gregg Hart and Adrian Young!"
Gregg and Adrian walk in-frame next to Natalie.
Natalie: "These past few weeks, you two have set your sights on the KNA. But it seems they have no interest in facing you guys unless it's on their terms."
Adrian: "They're cowards. Plain & simple. All they wanna do is attack people when no one's looking."
Gregg: "Look, Natalie… KNA is a team who's been here legit since the beginning one year ago. I feel they don't get enough credit for being one of the best tag teams… which is why Adrian and I stepped up to them! To prove how great of a team we are! And instead of facing us with dignity and heart, no pun intended… They continue to run and hide."
Gregg: "Sure, we haven't teamed together as long as they have, but they lack the pride and dignity that Adrian and I have. I trust Young more than anyone, and he trusts me! This right here is the future of tag team wrestling in ICW! And whenever KNA finds a pair to face us, then we'll prove it to them, too!"
And suddenly, they are attacked from behind! The camera pans over to reveal the KNA! They grab Gregg and Adrian and throw them out of the Interview Room to the hallway. Aiden grabs Young and slams him into the wall while Edward chokes Gregg with his cane! "YOU LOT ARE BENEATH US!" He screams!
But then, Chris Blade runs at them with a steel chair! Edward & Adrian quickly ran off before he could catch them! "YOU GUYS ARE COWARDS!" He screams. "YOU AND CHRIS OWENS! FIGHT LIKE MEN!" Blade sees them leaving out the exit and turns to check on Gregg & Adrian. But unbeknownst to him, far in the distance, Adrian Lord & Katie Striker stood by and watched this all take place.
The camera fades with Blade helping them up as Lord watches on…
As the screen cuts back to the ring, we see a plethora of weapons placed around ringside.
"The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the ICW DEMOLITION CHAMPIONSHIP!"
HEAT (by Brockhampton) plays to major boos! A wall of pyro erupts from the stage, and out walks Dylan Torres. He's not taunting the fans, but instead marches straight to the ring. Dylan slides in and leans on the ropes, looking over the crowd.
Orville: "Dylan has been a major staple in tag team and factions competition, but this is the first attempt he's ever received at singles gold, let alone the ICW Demolition Championship! Dylan got right in the champion's face, laid him out, and now looks confident and ready to win it tonight!"
Rodney: "Dylan is an unholy man, but I feel he can be redeemed once God blesses him with singles gold for the first time!"
As Dylan paces, the lights go off with Trophies of Violence (by While She Sleep) playing to a HUGE pop! The Titantron shows a burning Punisher skull, then red lights begin to flash like crazy as Furno walks out to the stage and slowly crouches. After the drum part, a wolf's howl is heard, and Furno quickly stands up and raises a finger gun with his left hand with his right hand following suit. The red lights turn white and still flash like crazy. Furno then walks to the ring, taking off his jacket and mask, and hops on the apron. "MOXLEY" chants break out as Furno holds up the Demolition Title."
Orville: "One year ago, in the very first main event of ICW Battle, Furno Moxley was victorious against Wolfgang in the Heavyweight Championship Tournament! Now here he is, one year later, as the reigning Demolition Champion! And just as intense & bloodthirsty as ever!"
Rodney: "Furno is a troubled soul, Orville! Losing loved ones tests any person's faith in God! But Furno wants to put his faith in himself instead! Because why else would he put himself in this situation?"
Orville: "Furno and I had a quick conversation earlier. He said 'I've seen many people come and go in ICW in the past year. But one thing that hasn't changed is me, my passion, my drive to be the best, and my desire to test the limit of the human spirit! I'm not going anywhere, and I'll make damn sure I give ICW all of my blood, sweat, and tears!'"
Furno enters the ring as he and Dylan nearly come to blows. The ref keeps them apart as they back to their corners. The lights dim down as a lone spotlight shines on the ring.
"Introducing first, the challenger! Representing Generation M, from Detroit, Michigan, standing 5'10" & weighing in at 265 lbs: 'The Motor City Madman,' 'The Rabid Street Dog,' DYLLLLLAN TORRRRRRES!"
Pittsburgh boos but Dylan stays focused on Furno.
"And his opponent, from Cincinnati, Ohio, standing 6'2" & weighing 235lbs, he is the ICW Demolition Champion: 'The One-Headed Cerberus,' 'The Deathmatch Kingpin' FURNOOOO MOXLEYYY!"
Furno holds up his title to loud cheers, despite being a Cincy native. He holds it up in front of Dylan, but the ref still keeps those two apart. Furno steps back as the ref takes the title and holds it up.
Orville: "Demolition Title on the line! Furno and Dylan… it's about to be brutal!"
The lights come on, the bell rings, charge right for each other! But Dylan grabs Furno and hits an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex Throw! And Furno goes flying across the ring! He uses the ropes to pull himself up. Moxleh turns around- MOTOR CITY BACKHAND (Spinning Backfist) TO THE JAW!
Orville: "THE BACK HAND! THE MOTOR CITY BACKHAND!"
Rodney: "HE GOT HIM! DYLAN GOT FURNO! IT'S OVER!"
The crowd all rose to their feet! Dylan dove for the cover! But Furno rolls out to the floor, saving the match! But Dylan was still on the hunt. He slides out, grabs Furno, and throws him HARD into a pile of weapons to the barricade! Dylan walks over and grabs a steel chair. He then SMACKS it across Furno's back! Furno groans in agony, but Dylan smacks it over him a few more times! He then sets the chair up and sits Furno down. Dylan climbs on the apron. He steps back far away… and then runs off for the Cannonball! But Furno moves away and Dylan crashes HARD against the chair! Dylan clutches his back in pain! But Furno picks him up and Scoop Slams him right on the apron! Furno pushes Dylan in then throws several different weapons in the ring. These include chairs, kendo sticks, light tubes, two small black bags, a toolbox, and a glass table to a big pop! Furno climbs between the ropes, but Dylan hooks the arms and hits a Spike DDT! With Furno down, Dylan grabs four chairs and sits them up. He lifts Furno, hooks the arms, and hits a Delayed Vertical Suplex onto all four chairs! The crowd gasps in shock as Dylan makes the cover!

Orville: "That Backhand has knocked Furno for a loop! Dylan has brought the fight and steel to the Steel City!"
Rodney: "This match is ungodly, but my God if Dylan isn't determined to win tonight!"
Dylan gets up and grabs one of the chairs. He presses the edge of the chair on Furno's neck and starts choking him! Furno flailed around as Dylan berates him! He finally lets the champion go before picking up some light tubes. After leaning some stacks against the corner, he picks up Furno and attempts to Exploder Suplex him into the pile! But Furno fights back with elbow shots to the head! The elbows then turn into Headbutts, causing Dylan to let go! He then tosses Dylan off the ropes and takes him down with a Clothesline! Furno rolls out and grabs a trash can. He tosses it back in the ring and picks up the trash lid. Dylan rolls to his knees, and Furno BLASTS him over the head with the lid! Dylan stumbles around, and Furno bashes him down! A small wound opens up from Dylan's head, so Furno grabs the cheese grater and GRATES DYLAN'S WOUND OPEN! Blood begins pouring from Dylan's head to a big pop from the crowd!
Rodney: "OH DEAR GOD, THIS IS HORRENDOUS!"
Orville: "Furno has drawn first blood on Dylan! He said he was gonna make everyone against him suffer, and he's doing that tonight!"
Furno sets the cheese grater down, runs, and Curb Stomps his opponent's head down on the grater! Moxley makes the cover!

Furno grabs a kendo stick… and CRACKS it over Dylan's back! Dylan winces in pain as he pulls himself up! Furno cracks him again, but Dylan wouldn't relent! Furno continues to beat him over with the cane as red bruises start to form… but Dylan wouldn't stay down! He powers up to his feet and stares right at Furno! But the champion wasn't backing down either! Furno pulls back and CRACKS it over his head, breaking it in half! The crowd pops while Dylan is stunned! Furno runs off the ropes… and right into a Spinning Side Slam on the trash can! Dylan pulls himself up and grabs the barbed wire baseball bat. He raises it up to a big pop! Dylan holds it up and BASHES it over Furno! Moxley yells in pain as Torres beats him senseless! He then grabs Furno's head and presses the wires against it! He pulls back on the head, causing blood to pour out of Furno's face & head!
Orville: "Now Dylan is drawing blood on Furno! They are bringing out all of the violence and carnage right now!"
Rodney: "I was wrong, Orville! I don't think Dylan is a man of God if he's content with doing THIS!"
Furno desperately reaches out for something. He grabs a stop sign and BASHES it over Dylan's head! Dylan stumbles back, freeing Furno. He gets up and runs at Torres with a Clothesline! But Dylan goes for one of his own… and they both take each other down! Both men lay there while Pittsburgh grows louder! They ref checks on them both as they are slow to their feet. But as the two make it up, Furno grabs him and hits a Headbutt! Dylan stumbles back… but hits a Headbutt of his own! Furno stumbles back and hits a second one! Dylan hits another! They stumble around… And just traded Headbutts! The crowd gave a standing ovation as these two mad men bashed each other with their heads! Finally, Dylan knocks Furno back with a Boot to the face! Furno falls against the ropes, but flings forward with the Crazy Box (Rebound Lariat)! Dylan counters with a Discus Forearm! Furno nearly collapses out of the ring… But lunges again with the Crazy Box! But Dylan again ducks it, grabs him, and hits an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex! Furno goes flying across, rolls back up, falls against the ropes… and BLAST Dylan with the Crazy Box!
Dylan was turned inside out as Moxley fell prone! But the champion wasn't finished yet. He grabs the black bag and opens it. Moxley pulls out, and holds up, a dog chain with Dylan's name on the tag! He grabs Dylan's head and wraps the chain around his neck! Trapping the arms, Moxley unleashes the Judgement Call (Crucifix Elbow Strikes) to the jaw… and then pulls back on the chain! Dylan's face turns red as he feels the air leave his body! Dylan tries everything he could to escape, but he slowly starts fading from consciousness! Furno nearly chokes him out… until King Caesar runs out, pulls Furno from the ring, and BLASTS him with the Lion's Claw (Knockout Punch)!
Orville: "It's Caesar! King Caesar just WIPED OUT Furno!"
Rodney: "Gen M sticking together! And Furno is all alone; I don't know if the Holy Ghost could help him tonight!"
Furno goes down HARD, and the crowd HATED this as the boos rain In! While Dylan pulls himself up, coughing for air, Caesar grabs Furno and dumps him back in the ring. Torres grabs the dog chain and looks down at Furno. He wraps part of it around his hand and WHIPS Furno across the back! Furno lets out a HORRIFIED shout as Dylan screams at him. Dylan CRACKS him again and again and again! Dylan then grabs Moxley by his waist, lifts up, and DROPS him with the Violence Party (Spike Piledriver) RIGHT on the dog chain! Dylan smirks and covers Moxley!

Furno gets the shoulder up before the three! The crowd comes alive with "MOXLEY" chants! But Dylan was PISSED! He motions for Caesar to get in. Caesar enters and holds Furno up by his arms. Dylan takes the chain, wraps it around his fist, and starts beating Furno across the face! A bloodied Moxley could barely stand on his own. Dylan drops the chain and grabs another black bag. He opens it… And out pour the thumbtacks! Dylan then calls for the Generational Sin (Magic Killer) on the tacks! Gen M lifts Furno up, but Furno kicks Dylan away! He breaks free from Caesar… and KICKS HIM BELOW THE BELT!
Orville: "Down goes Caesar! Furno just brought the King to his knees!"
Rodney: "HEATHEN! BLASPHEMOUS! SINNER!"
The crowd popped huge! Caesar clutches his family jewels and falls to his knees, pain and agony written over his face! Furno then grabs a light tube and SMASHES it over Caesar's head! The big man goes down! And behind Furno… Dylan locks in the Katahajime! Dylan leaps on his back as Furno flails his arms around! But before Moxley could pass out… he falls himself and Dylan ON THE THUMBTACKS! The crowd went NUTS as Dylan shouts in AGONY! Furno slowly crawls back up. He grabs Dylan and lifts him on the shoulders! He runs… and Buckle Bombs him in the corner THROUGH THE GLASS! Dylan was motionless! But Furno still wasn't done!

"Here is your winner…and STILL ICW Demolition Champion: FURRRRNO MOOOXLEYYY!"
Orville: "A hell of a battle in Pittsburgh! And Furno leaves STILL the Demolition Champion!"
Rodney: "I feel sick to my stomach just seeing how bloody both men are!"
The bloodied Furno weakly gets up as the equally bloodied Dylan lies there knocked out. He takes his title and holds it up to big cheers and towel waves! The camera pans over to show Caesar still knocked out, blood dripping from his head as well. Furno steps out of the ring and stumbles up the ramp. But on the stage… is William Dawkins!
With a smile on his face, he claps and greets Furno with a handshake offer. Furno looks at him for one second, then completely ignores him and walks off. William stands there befuddled with his hand still sticking out.
Orville: "William Dawkins getting the cold shoulder from Furno Moxley. And honestly? I don't blame him!"
Rodney: "Now don't you start, Orville! I will have you know Dawkins made a GENEROUS donation to my church, so he is truly a man of God!"
Orville: "Sure… we still have more action to come later tonight, including the ICW Heavyweight Title match! But coming up next: Raptor Reigns! Jacob Uso! Face-to-face! Uce-to-Uce!"
Back in the ring, Dylan slowly comes to. He looks down at his blood covered body and sighs. The crowd watches… and gasps as Dylan begins to take off his shoes and "Rabid Street Dog" shirt.
He tosses the shirt away then sets his shoes in the middle of the ring and slides out. The camera fades with him limping to the back…
((Ad Break))
The screen opens back to the ring, now free of the blood and cleaned up from weapons and carnage of the previous match.
Bad Man (by Jim Johnston) plays to a moderate pop! Raptor calmly walks out wearing just a pair of jeans, a black t-shirt with his name in a white spray painted design, black jacket, and black shoes. He had his hair pulled up in a bun just like his brother, and his face was filled with so much conflicting emotions.
Orville: "The biggest news coming out was Raptor's sudden departure from Re-Vengeance! He, Aiden Black, and Furno were always front runners in terms of factions in ICW, but now Raptor stepped away, and reportedly gave up some big opportunities just to confront his cousin tonight!"
Rodney: "Family turmoil is a sad sin, Orville. But Raptor Reigns is truly a man of God for leaving Furno to be a family man!"
Raptor soon takes a mic and enters the ring. Some members began chanting his name! Raptor takes a moment to look around. He then closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.
Raptor: "I know you're here, Jacob. Let's cut to the chase. Come on out here so we can hash this out, Uce."
For a couple of seconds, nothing happens. Then Rope (by Foo Fighters) starts to play, and out walks Jacob Uso walks out with his hoodie up. The crowd reactions are mixed with more positives than negative. Even through his hoodie, he stares daggers into Raptor.
Orville: "Jacob Uso hasn't been seen since his brutal loss at Unbreakable. Yet the battles and punishments Jacob went through was what made Raptor ultimately leave Re-Vengeance."
Rodney: "Jacob should join my congregation so God can heal his troubled soul with his holy spirit!"
As Jacob enters the ring and pulls back his hood, he and Raptor stare each other down. Jacob looks at him tensely, but Raptor appears calm, even somber.
Raptor: "Let me say this first and foremost… That I'm proud of you, Jacob. I'm proud of everything you've done so far. From the Supernovas to Unbreakable, seeing how far you've come in a short time is special to me. And I know you'll only continue to rise to the top."
The crowd claps, but Jacob doesn't react to those words.
Raptor: "But I'm aware of what's driving you, Uce. I know what made you come here at all… and it's me. I understand why you're here and what you're trying to do. And straight up… I wanna say I'm sorry."
Jacob was visibly taken slightly aback. The crowd murmurs in confusion. But Raptor remained calm.
Raptor: "These guys… everyone knows about our family. They already know about where we come from. Our grandfathers, grandmothers, our fathers, our uncles, cousins… our brothers… but they don't know about us. They don't know… that we hate our family."
Some of the crowd gasps at that revelation
Raptor: "We were the outcasts in our family. Because we didn't follow the rules. We were the troublemakers. We didn't want anything to do with their traditions, their history, none of that." Raptor turns to the crowd. "We never cared about our last names… Only our first names. Because of that… Jacob and I were disowned. Kicked out of the family tree. We became…" he turns back to Jacob. "We became the Forgotten Sons of our family."
Jacob looks away and begins pacing back & forth.
Raptor: "Yeah, we managed without them, we set a path to make our own history without our family. You looked up to me… And I hurt you. And I can still see the pain in your eyes, Uce. And I want you to know… that I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. And that I still love you-"
Jacob: "ENOUGH!"
The crowd was taken aback at Jacob's sudden outburst. Jacob removed his hoodie and tosses it out of the ring before looking at Raptor
Jacob: "Don't stand there bullshitting me, Uce! You say you sorry? You say you love me!? YOU! ABANDONED! ME! YOU walked away when I needed you! YOU left me to join up with Furno and Aiden! I LOOKED UP TO YOU! You were MY ONLY TRUE FAMILY, and you tossed it away in an INSTANT!"
Raptor: "I left you for your own good, Jacob!" Raptor finally interrupted. "I know you looked up to me! You saw me as your role model! But we did a lot of dangerous things. Things that I should have kept you away from, Uce. No one knows that you almost DIED because of me!"
Everyone froze, including Jacob. He looked even more angry while Raptor got choked up
Raptor: "I still remember holding your bleeding body! Your blood legit on MY HANDS because I was being stupid! Because I didn't realize MY actions affect those around me! I couldn't bear to see you throw your life away because of me! Just like what happened at Unbreakable with Furno! I never wanted that for you! I know it's my fault for what you went through! That's why I left! So you can be better! And I want to make it up to you-"
Jacob: "YOU CAN NEVER MAKE THIS UP!" He got right in Raptor's face. "NO amount of pain anyone puts me through will EVER match the pain YOU caused!" Jacob steps back, shaking his head and brushing his hair. "Nah, Uce. You not sorry… Not yet. I told you I was gonna take everything from you. I don't give a damn about your friends or that Demolition Title. I'm here for one thing."
Jacob slowly looks back up at Raptor, his eyes filled with nothing but hatred.
Jacob: "I want you to fight me! Fight me so I can whoop your ass! Fight me so I can outgrow you! FIGHT ME SO I CAN GIVE YOU THE PAIN YOU GAVE ME!"
Raptor was shocked by what Jacob said. He shakes his head no… only for Jacob to shove him! The crowd gasps as Jacob shoves him again! He tells Raptor "FIGHT ME!" as Reigns leans against the ropes. Raptor takes a deep breath and steps forward
Raptor: "I know I hurt you. I know I've caused a lot of pain. But I'm not like my brother. I refuse to hurt my family. I'm not gonna fight you."
Raptor drops the mic and shakes his head. Jacob's blood was boiling as Raptor told him "I'm sorry." But when he goes to leave… Jacob hits him with the Down Six (Superman Punch)! The crowd gasps again as Jacob starts WAILING at the defenseless Raptor!
Orville: "Jacob has snapped! He's savagely attacking his own cousin!"
Rodney: "Even God could see that emotions ran too high for Jacob!"
Officials ran out and pulled Jacob off of him! Raptor rolls out, grabbing his head and jaw. He looks on at Jacob being held back and screaming "FIGHT ME!" Raptor slowly shakes his head, turns, and leaves.
Orville: "You gotta feel for Raptor… he poured his heart out to his closest family member, and he got punched in the face and challenged to a fight!"
Rodney: "I know God is aware how hostile their family can be! But this… I just pray it doesn't go too far and that they can love each other like family again!"
((Ad Break))
The screen cuts to Daria sitting backstage on some crates, the ICW Women's Championship next to her. She's taping her wrists as Sofia sits next to her
Sofia: "Hey."
Daria: "...Hey."
Sofia sets her WFA Women's Championship next to her. Sofia sits next to Daria as she continues to tape up.
Sofia: "See what I mean now?"
Daria: "...Yeah."
Sofia: "See who the problems are?"
Daria: "...Yeah."
They sit there in silence. Sofia turns to Daria.
Sofia: "You ready to raise some hell?" she smirks.
Daria finished taping her wrists. She then takes a deep breath and turns to Sofia… and smirks.
Daria: "Let's do it."
Daria and Sofia fist bump just as Alexandra walks over to them, in her gear and ready to compete. Next to her was an eerily quiet Kirsi wearing a jacket and some sweat pants.
Alexandra: "Good to see you two on the same page." She says stoically. "I was worried punches would be thrown again."
Daria: "Nah." She shrugs and stands up cracking her knuckles. "We're cool."
Sofia: "Besides." she hops up. "I'm a Honorary Misfit, remember? We're a team." she smirks. "But enough fun, let's roll."
Daria & Alexandra nod in agreement. But then-
Kirsi: "Wait!"
Everyone turns to look at Kirsi, who finally lifts her head up.
Kirsi: "I know you guys are ready for this… but I want in this match!"
Sofia, Daria, and Alexandra glance at each other. Alexandra walks over to Kirsi.
Alexandra: "I know you want to get your hands on them, Kirsi. But you were just cleared. After what Angelica did, I think it's better for your long term health to leave things to us-"
Kirsi: "That's WHY I want in! Angelica nearly crippled me! She nearly broke your leg! But not just her, they all want to step on and over us! I know I joke around sometimes, but I need to punch all of them in the face for what they did to me… you… all of us! I don't want them to get away with this anymore! So please! I'm begging you, Alex! Let me in this match! Please!"
Everyone stays silent for a moment. Until-
Sofia: "I know this ain't my call, but I say we let her fight."
Daria & Alexandra look at each other. Daria just shrugs. Alexandra laments… then sighs.
Alexandra: "Alright. I'll step out of this match. You can take my spot, Kirsi. Just…be careful!"
Kirsi: "I…MAKE NO PROMISES!" She gives Alexandra a hug then rips off her jacket and sweats, revealing the cape and wrestling gear she had on underneath. "LETS GO BEAT UP LEGACY!"
As Kirsi runs off, the rest of the Misfits stare dumbfounded. Sofia turns to the others, shrugs, and follows Kirsi. Daria looks at Alexandra, pats her on the back with a smile, and follows them. Alexandra sighs and rubs her face as the screen fades…
The screen cuts to a dimly lit room. On the wall was a flag that read "NATION OF VIOLENCE" and "WAR IS PEACE!"
Michael Chaos, Brian Ravage, and Jenny Ace soon walk in front of the flag.
Jenny: "Last week, we reminded the world what Nation of Violence really is. And that's domination, savagery, and uncontained violence! When you put a gamer in the ring with a combat machine like me, THAT'S what you can expect to happen!"
Michael: "Street Dreams do not belong in the ring with us. They belong in the streets where they belong."
Jenny: "Because if they ever challenge the Nation of Violence again, the streets are where we will leave them bloodied and beaten! For in the Nation of Violence…"
Brian: "War! Is! Peace!"
As all three walk off, the screen fades with a shot of the NOV Flag.
As the screen cuts back to ringside, the lights go out. And The Legacy (by Wu-Tang) plays to MAJOR boos! A spotlight appears on-stage with the ladies of Legacy in a circle with their backs to each other. The camera circles all of them, starting with Carson who lowers her shades, smirks, and winks. It circles to Angelica who brushes her hair to the side and poses with her arm out. It then circles to the newest member, Brianna. And she looks up with her face paint and aims her bat to the camera. It doubles back to Carson as all three stand together. They raise the "L" hand sign as the lights come on and they head to the ring.
"The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is a Six-Woman Tag Team Match! Introducing first: 'Brianna Borden, Angelica Rhodes, & Carson Michaels:' They are LEGACY!"
Orville: "It was earlier this week on Battlefield where we saw the return of Brianna Kelly- now known as Brianna Borden, where she would lay out the ICW Women's Champion and join with former rivals in Legacy!"
Rodney: "Praise Jesus, Orville, for Brianna Broden has seen the light! She has joined with those who share the same God-given birthright of leading ICW into the next year and beyond!"
All three women stood in the middle of the ring and threw up the "L" sign. The crowd continues to boo… until Hatet (by Dunderbeist) plays! The place erupted as the arena lights darken! Daria soon enters on the ramp, with the Women's Title around her neck! And instead of Alexandra, out runs Kirsi Halonen to a big ovation! Last, Sofia walks out with the WFA Women's Title and wearing her custom "Honorary Misfit" t-shirt which is likely already on-sale and sold out! Daria looks at Sofia. Sofia looks at Daira. They smirk and bump titles while Kirsi was itching for a brawl!
"And their opponents: Kirsi Halonen, 'the ICW Women's Champion' Daria St. Leger, and 'the WFA Women's Champion,' La Rebelion's Sofia Reynoso! They are THE MISFITS!"
Orville: "It was originally supposed to be Alexandra Xenou in this match, but a passionate plea by Kirsi Halonen convinced her to step down so Kirsi could get some measure of revenge!"
Rodney: "I pray that these hooligans did not make a major mistake in allowing this change! Because they are going up against the three most dominant women in the history of ICW!"
Orville: "The Misfits don't care. In fact, they're fully prepared to knock all of Legacy off of their pedestals! And with the men all banned from the arena, I'm expecting a fair fight, and intense, fight tonight!"
The Misfits head to the ring. Daria & Sofia set their titles down as Kirsi removes her cape. The Misfits soon enter the ring and stand across from Legacy! All six women stood across from each other as the crowd waved their towels! A crazed Kirsi stands face-to-face with a disgusted Angelica, Daria and Brianna coldly look each other eye-to-eye, and Carson & Sofia talking all of the trash to each other! The crowd grew into a frenzy as the trash talking intensified between the two hated rivals! Until finally… They all start swinging fists!
Orville: "Tension has finally boiled over! And the brawl is on!"
The brawl is indeed underway all to Pittsburgh's delight! Kirsi jumps on Angelica like a wild animal, swinging her punches recklessly! While Brianna and Daria were throwing big strikes against each other! They all took the fight to the floor, leaving Carson & Sofia fighting in the ring! The ref just sighs and rings the bell!
Angelica kicks Kirsi off of her, but Kirsi just gets up and jumps on her again! Brianna and Daria continue to throw haymakers! But Daria was stopped by a knee to the gut! And Brianna slams her into the barricade! Back in the ring, Sofia quickly gains the upper hand by knocking Carson back against the ropes! She whips her across, but Carson ducks a Clothesline! She continues to run and sneaks in a tag to Brianna! Carson runs back… and runs right into a Backdrop! Sofia looks up and gets BOOTED in the face by Brianna! The boos immediately poured down on The Icon's Daughter. Carson rolls out and attacks Kirsi from behind! She helps Angelica up, then they grab Halonen and SLAM her into the barricade! They grab Daria and SMASHES her against the steel steps! The two former rivals fist bumps and holds up the "L" hand sign to loud boos!
Rodney: "Behold, Orville! Witness the God-given talent of Legacy to take control over this match!"
Orville: "I hate to admit, but Brianna does prove to be the difference maker in this match right now!"
Back in the ring, Brianna drags Sofia up and Forearms her in the upper chest. Sofia stumbles back and hits her with a stiff Chop! But it didn't faze Brianna, who responds with a Headbutt! Sofia stumbles against the corner where Brianna hits a Chop of her own! Sofia clutches her upper chest. Brianna whips her to the opposite corner. Brianna runs and hits the Stinger Splash. Sofia nearly falls over but Brianna keeps her up. She then grabs her head and hits a Running Bulldog. Brianna drags Sofia to her corner and tags in Carson. And HBC steps in to MASSIVE boos! Carson smirks and hits a LOUD Chop to Sofia! Carson responds with another LOUD Chop as Pittsburgh "WOOOs." But before Carson delivers a third, Sofia boots her in the face!
The crowd comes alive as Reynoso fights back! She elbows Angelica and punches Brianna off the apron! Carson runs at her, but Sofia moves and causes her to crash into the corner! Carson stumbles around, and Sofia immediately tackles her to the ground and wails at her! Carson tries to scramble away, but Sofia wouldn't let her escape! She grabs her hair, yanking her up, and SLAMS her face into the corner! She goes to another corner and slams her face again! To the third corner, she does it again! And finally, Sofia SLAMS Carson's head into the Misfits corner! The WFA Women's Champion proceeds to stomp a mudhole into Carson as she slumps down in the corner! She then gives her the middle fingers and stomps her in the face! Daria climbs back on the apron and tags in. Sofia and Daria lift Carson up and hit a Double Vertical Suplex! Daria rolls over for the cover.

Orville: "Daria and Sofia, the two Women's Champions, showing off excellent symmetry to Carson!"
Rodney: "But it'll take a lot more to keep Ms. ICW down for the count!"
Daria calmly drags Carson back up… then CHOPS her back down HARD! Carson clutches her chest while Daria specifically points to Brianna. She drags Carson up by her neck and HEAVES her across the ring! As Carson is dragged back up, Daria tags in Kirsi to big cheers! Daria whips Carson to the corner, and then whips Kirsi who hits a Running Dropkick! Kirsi then climbs up and begins to punch Carson! The crowd counts along, up to nine… Until Halonen shrugs and BITES HBC! Carson pushes her away, but Kirsi gets up and runs at her! Carson kicks her in the face and runs the ropes! Angelica sneaks in a tag, but Carson runs into a Lou Thesz Press! And Kirsi starts smashing Michael's head off the canvas! The crowd gets loud… until Angelica runs in and punts Kirsi!
The boos pour back in as Angelica punches Kirsi repeatedly in the head. She drags her towards the ropes and, with her foot, presses her throat against the middle! Kirsi starts choking as the ref tells Rhodes to pull back. He counts up to four and Angelica lets her go! But as he turns and lectures her, Carson runs over and Uppercuts Kirsi to more boos! Angelica rolls her eyes at the ref and grabs Kirsi. She picks her back up and hits her with a Delayed Swinging Neckbreaker. Angelica places a Boot on Kirsi's head and pose while raising up the "L" hand sign. She scoops her up and tags Brianna. She and Angelica gorilla press Kirsi above their heads and slams her back down with a Double Standing Spinebuster! Kirsi rolls over in agony while clutching her back. Brianna grabs the smaller woman by her hair. She drags her up, but Kirsi breaks away and throws random slaps and strikes to her face & chest! Kirsi manages to push Brianna back, but Bordens SMASHES Kirsi with a Headbutt followed by a hard Body Slam! Kirsi aches in pain as Brianna covers.

Rodney: "I know right about now, she's praying to the Lord how much she regrets jumping into this match!"
Brianna drags Kirsi by her arm and tags in Rhodes. Angelica grabs Kirsi up and puts her in the Gory Special! Kirsi yells in agony as the Pittsburgh crowd tries to rally for her! Angelica walks around, pulling back on Kirsi and causing more damage. Sofia and Daria stomp their feet with the crowd clapping in unison. Kirsi feels everyone rallying behind her and starts fighting back! But Angelica pulls her too far back! Because Kirsi rolls over, lands in front, and hits the STO! Both are down! Sofia & Daria both reach out for a tag! Kirsi slowly starts to crawl! She reaches out… but Angelica grabs her legs! She pulls her away and picks her up. And Kirsi throws her over the ropes! Angelica slides in… just as Kirsi tags in Daria!

Daria and Brianna crawl… and they tag them in! Time seems to stop as Carson & Sofia enter the ring! They took one look at each other…. and broke out in a fight!

She whips her across… and Carson hits the Flying Forearm Smash! Carson kips up to LOUD boos! She picks Sofia up and hits the Manhattan Drop followed by the Scoop Slam.

"Here are your winners: LEGACY!"
Orville: "In a chaotic turn of events, Legacy comes out the winners!"
Rodney: "As I have preached! Legacy has been blessed by God with so much talent that they are virtually unstoppable!"
The crowd began to boo mercilessly as Brianna stood back up. Angelica and Carson soon rolled back in as they held their arms up in victory. But Brianna wasn't finished yet! She rolled out and picked up her midnight blue baseball bat! Grabbing Daria, she pulled her to the steps, kicked it off, and laid Daria's arm on it. Angelica pulls Kirsi to the corner and forces her to watch what's about to happen!
Alexandra soon runs out to a nice pop! She attacks Angelica from behind and even lays out Carson! But Brianna rolls in and hits her RIGHT in the face with the bat! Angelica then gets back up and pulls out a couple of handcuffs! Dread fills the entire arena as she cuffs Kirsi & Alexandra to the ropes!
Orville: "This is getting too much! What the hell is Legacy doing!?"
Rodney: "They look sick and tired of being insulted and underappreciated! Now they want to set an example to those who oppose them!"
Sofia tries to get up, but Carson rolls out and handcuffs her to the ringpost! Brianna rolls out and brandishes the chair again! Officials begin to run out and beg for them to stop! But Legacy didn't listen! Carson & Angelica made the Misfits watch as Brianna points the bat at Daria, raises it up… and SMASHES it over Daria's arm on the steps!
Orville: "Oh my god no! Somebody help Daria!"
Rodney: "Sweet Jesus! Brianna just broke her arm!"
The crowd gasps as Brianna yells in extreme agony! Kirsi & Alexandra were beside themselves while Sofia was filled with boiling rage! Angelica just smiled as Brianna stood over Daria and her broken arm. Carson, instead, looks to Sofia and says "This is all on you! This is what happens when you cross ME! This is all on you, Sofia!"
Orville: "What a sickening display from Legacy! Breaking Daria's arm! Forcing the Misfits to watch! Even Carson putting all of this on Sofia!"
Rodney: "I'll admit they may have gone too far in their mission to secure their legacy, but this was a direct message to anybody who stood against them! And considering how blessed and highly favored they are, I understand why they did what they did!"
With that, Legacy all backed off as officials ran out to help the Misfits. Medics came out to help Daria specifically as Legacy all stood on-stage. They screen fades with Carson, Angelica, and Brianna all holding up the "L" sign.
((Ad Break))
The screen cuts backstage to Natalie back in the Interview Room.
Natalie: "Ladies & gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time… the ICW Heavyweight Champion, Mark Jacobs!"
Mark walks on-screen holding his title close to his chest.
Natalie: "Tonight, you will go one-on-one with Jason Sabre for the ICW Heavyweight Championship. I asked Jason this earlier and now I want to ask you: what are your final thoughts going into this match?"
Mark: "Everywhere I go… everywhere I turn to… the only constant thing I hear is Jason Sabre. Jason Sabre this. Jason Sabre that. Jason Sabre is the greatest. Those opinions mean nothing to me, but Jason has burned into everyone's mind that he is the end-all-be-all in this profession. Tonight… that's gonna change. I'm gonna shatter that narrative when I beat Jason Sabre! His time at the top is coming to an end. And not only will I remain the Heavyweight Champion, but I will make Sabre regret ever coming to ICW!"
Before Mark could continue, someone pats him on the back. Mark turns back, and the camera pans over to reveal Elijah next to him. He smirks and looks at Natalie.
Elijah: "Ms. Hannah, I can't think of a better time to show the dominance of our Champion than our one year celebration! And with the backing of Holiday Promotions, Jason Sabre stands no chance of walking out with the Heavyweight Championship!"
Mark just gives Elijah a confused look.
Mark: "You really are stupider than I thought, Holiday."
Elijah: "...Excuse me?"
Mark: "I made you a deal, a once-in-a-lifetime offer for anyone in your Promotion to get a crack at me and my championship, and all you guys had to do was take out Jason Sabre. And what happened? You sent out Trey Gold. TREY GOLD! Now while I appreciate your plan to offer me up the easiest payday of my life, the fact you put this critical mission in the hands of that talentless rookie speaks about the amount of brain dead idiot leading Holiday Promotions!"
Elijah: "...So that's how you want to handle business. Okay then…" Elijah nods. "Let me remind you about what we hold, Mr. Champion. We at Holiday Promotions are still in possession of the Immortal Opportunity. Which means we can take away everything you hold dear with the snap of my fingers. So I would choose my words carefully when you speak about me and my talents."
Mark walks up and looks Elijah dead in his eyes.
Mark: "Then let me make this perfectly clear: If I see you or Tate or whoever, come anywhere near my match with that Briefcase… I'll take that case and beat the Immortal piss out of Tate, out of Sabre, and especially out of you!"
Mark glares at Elijah before turning and walking away. The scene fades with Elijah watching him leave.
Location: Ballymena, Northern Ireland
Time: Somewhere past 2:00am
A black SUV drives through the dimly lit roads of Northern Ireland. It soon pulls up to what looks like an abandoned warehouse. The door opens, and out steps Flynn Horde. He walks around and opens the side door. And out steps Alexis Espinoza
Espinoza: "You flew me all the way out here to Ireland, during ICW's historic week, drove me to who-knows-where in the middle of the night, just to show me a warehouse. I swear if this is a hoax-."
Flynn: He looks over at Alexis and smiles. "Ms. Espinoza, I understand your questions and concerns about what this is and who we are. All of your questions will be answered once you see what's inside. Come with me."
Flynn calmly walks ahead. Alexis glares but does follow along. He leads her up the catwalk and enters through one of the side doors. She could barely see everything inside, but did notice a plethora of workout equipment. She looks over the railings, and what she saw catches her off guard.
Damien Crowe wears black shorts, but remains shirtless and barefoot. He's being hung up by his arms and being pelted with 2x4s across the chest and back and having stones slammed into his abs. Salem Erebus is seen walking around, watching it calmly and emotionless. He sees Crowe's entire body is blistered and glances at Crowe trying to hide the pain. Damien tells the unknowns to proceed with the beating before walking off.
Salem walks towards Jason Malice, who is also wearing black shorts while remaining shirtless & barefoot. He is dragging four large semi-truck tires, tied by chains, all connected to collars wrapped around Malice's neck and arms. He drags it from one side of the large warehouse halfway to the other side…before collapsing to the concrete floor. Salem walks over, grabs a loose chain, and SWINGS it over Malice's back! His back welts up as he shoots up in agony! But instead of going down, Malice pulls to his feet and continues to drag them across
Alexis: "Dios Mio… What the hell am I looking at?"
Flynn: "This, Ms. Espinoza… is R.O.G.U.E."
Flynn leads her across the catwalk. They enter another room, this time with Sonia Erebus. They were both wearing black sports bras and biker shorts while remaining barefoot. But while Sonia was sweaty and breathing heavy, Kailene's face and stomach were covered in HEAVY bruises! Her lips were also cut and bloody, and she could barely stand
Alexis watches as Kailene tries to throw a punch, but Sonia sways it aside and hits a Back Elbow to the jaw! She then grabs her head and throws her against the wall! Kailene nearly falls over, but Sonia runs over and pins her Forearm to her Neck against the wall.
Kailene: "My….My husband…My kids… I need-"
Sonia coldly Judo tosses her to the floor! Kailene slowly rolls to her knees but not before getting punted in the stomach!
Sonia: "Up."
Kailene coughed and wheezed, but slowly did get up. Sonia tells Kailene to attack, but then Sonia catches her with a Body Blow! Kailene bends over, allowing Sonia to smash her knee against Starr's face! Kailene falls back over, and she gets put in the Lotus Lock! Kailene starts screaming in agony as she struggles to escape.
Alexis looks at Flynn, who stares down at the beating. He then removes his coat jacket and unbuttons his shirt, revealing fresh marks and bruises across his extremely toned body.
Flynn: "This is what we chose to go through in order to become R.O.G.U.E. We all wish to protect ICW, but we need to understand what true pain is. We need to be broken first. Physically and mentally. Only then will we begin building… building to be weapons that ICW may not want, but weapons ICW needs to protect itself."
Flynn calmly buttons his shirt back on and puts on his coat. Alexis looks down at Kailene, Malice, and Crowe. She quietly contemplates everything before her.
Alexis: "...I may not truly understand what's going on, but I can at least see it's all to get stronger."
Flynn: "Indeed."
Alexis: "And if they chose to do this, then so be it. I do expect updates on the whereabouts of my roster members if this process is going to be a long term deal."
Flynn: "You will have those."
Alexis: "Then my business here is done. I want to take my leave now."
Flynn nods and slowly follows her out. Alexis looks back at Kailene getting her arms yanked back. She sees Crowe still being smashed by rocks while chained up, and Malice pulling those tire stacks across the room.
As they leave and the door closes, the screen cuts to the R.O.G.U.E logo before shutting off.
The screen cuts back to the arena.
Orville: "It's been a wild One-Year Anniversary for ICW! And it's been an amazing show so far here in Pittsburgh! But now… up next is the match the world has been waiting for!"
"Ladies & gentlemen… IT IS TIME FOR THE MAIN EVENT! The following contest is scheduled for one fall! AND it is for… the ICW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!"
Weight of my Pride (by Pay Money to my Pain) plays to an OVERWHELMING pop! The beginning instrumentals kick in as lights turn gold and black! As we near the lyrics, smoke shoots up from the sides of the stage. Jason Sabre soon appears, in black and gold, and takes a moment to soak up the reception and survey the crowd waving the towels! 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. He does his gun taunt then jumps down to the middle of the ring as a spotlight shines on him. 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, before the music fades.
Orville: "Jason Sabre earned the right to this title match after defeating DJ Kingston 2-0 back at Unbreakable-"
Rodney: "All thanks to that jezebel Natalia Rodriguez, Jason Sabre was handed this opportunity on a silver platter! But that gift will soon be turned into a curse when Sabre loses tonight!"
Orville: "Though I can't help but wonder just how ready Jason is! He's had run-ins of all kinds: CJ Hawk & Bōryoku, Ced and Holiday Promotions, Ava and Revolution, Azriel, Jason has no shortage of hunters gunning after him or the Heavyweight Title!"
Rodney: "The past sins of The Ace will come back tonight when Mark Jacobs makes him suffer!"
"GO ACE" chants fill the arena as Sabre looks around the PPG Paints Arena. Lydia (by Highly Suspect) plays to MAJOR boos! The lights go out as Mark Jacobs stands under a faint spotlight, his physique looks slightly larger and he grew his hair out a bit. As the lyrics begin, Jacobs looks up as the lights turn on with a flash. Jacobs looks around in disgust before slowly walking down to the ring. He climbs the step and on the apron before turning to the crowd. He then turns to Sabre, who stands in the ring full of confidence. Mark enters the ring, climbs up, and does the throat slit to hold up his title.
Rodney: "My oh my God blessed Mark with a slightly larger physique for tonight!"
Orville: "This is Mark's second defense since becoming Heavyweight Champion, and already he's claimed to be the most prolific champion in the history of ICW! But now Mark faces the toughest opponent in his career in a prime and ready Jason Sabre!"
Rodney: "As long as Mark prayed to the Lord all mighty, which I feel he has, then not even the Ace can stop him!"
Orville: "Though Mark has already had some run-ins with Espinoza & La Rebelion, MPI, and even Azriel himself! In fact, whose to say Tate doesn't cash in tonight?"
Mark climbs down as he and Jason stand in opposite corners of each other. The lights dim to a single spotlight over the ring.
"Introducing first…the CHALLENGER! From Los Angeles, California, standing 6'1" & weighing 235 lbs: He is 'The Ace of Pro Wrestling' JASOOOOON SAAAABRRRRE!"
Cheers, "GO ACE" chants, and terrible towel waves fill the arena. Sabre soaks it all up while Mark rolls his eyes.
"And his opponent! From Brooklyn, New York! He stands 6ft tall and weighs in at 225 lbs: He is the 'Bane of Existence!' He is the ICW Heavyweight Champion: MAAAAAARK JACOOOOOOOBS!"
The boos were just as deafening as the cheers! Mark approaches the center and holds up the title in front of Jason. Sabre sits back, unfazed and cool as ever. Mark holds up the title to the booing crowd instead!
The lights come on as Mark hands the title to the ref. The ref holds it up at Jason to see what this match is all about. Sabre nods and takes off his jacket. The ref holds it up again… and Mark snatches it! He dashes at Sabre and swings the title! But Jason ducks! Mark turns back around… and FINAL BLOW (RKO) BY SABRE!
But Mark pushes away and quickly rolls out! The crowd nearly lost their minds! Mark tries to catch his own breath as Jason kneels down towards him, a smile on his face. Mark was slightly shaken up so he paces around the ring and heads for the exit
Orville: "Mark Jacobs is now trying to retreat after a failed sneak attack!"
Rodney: "A sneak attack by that heathen JASON SABRE! Mark should do the holy thing and turn away from such sinners!"
Orville: "Don't look now, Rodney! But it appears all eyes are on this match… and are blocking off Mark's escape!"
Mark, and eventually Jason, turns to the ramp and sees Elijah Holiday on-stage with the newly signed Rick Washington, Ced, and Marvelous Tate Williams! The trio pulled up some seats and sat to watch the match. The Pittsburgh crowd boos…until cheers began to rise up from deep in the crowd! Everyone slowly turns their heads at the source: Revolution walking down the stairs and taking their seat in the front row! And far above them in the nosebleeds, sat Azriel all by himself!
Orville: "Everyone wants a piece of the winner it seems! But who will leave Steel City Showdown as the champion! Mark Jacobs? Jason Sabre? We're about to find out!"
Realizing he's surrounded, Mark slowly makes his way back to the ring. Jason smirks as Mark slides in and stands in the corner. Once the ref asks if they're ready… Then the bell rings!
The crowd is in a frenzy! Mark and Jason stand on opposite sides, staring daggers into each other! Sabre smirks as "GO ACE" chants ring across the arena! He and Mark cautiously circle the ring, neither wanting to start fast. They pace for a bit… Then lock up in the collar & elbow. They struggle for control while trying to push each other back. But Jason pushes Mark against the ropes and presses him back. The referee steps in with a five count. Jason breaks clean at three… But Mark pushes him. Sabre smirks, and he responds with a slap that knocks Mark down! The crowd pops big as Mark scurried back up, rubbing his face.
Orville: "Jason Sabre won't take that disrespect too lightly!"
Rodney: "That was unholy of Jason to slap anybody!"
"GO ACE" chants fill the PPG Paints Arena again! Jason points the gun at Mark, who didn't look too pleased. He gets back up and paces around with Sabre. They lock up, and Mark starts to push Sabre against the corner. But Sabre pushes back and pins Mark against it this time! Mark pushes out and applies a Waist Lock. He attempts the German Suplex, but Sabre elbows Mark. He breaks the grip and applies the Wrist Lock! Mark stumbles to the ropes. He uses them to flip into a Wrist Lock of his own! Sabre rolls, kicks up, and applies an Arm Lock pulled into a Side Headlock Takedown! Mark traps his legs over the head, and Sabre kicks up. Mark applies Headlock of his own. Sabre pushes to ropes and sends Mark running. He attempts the Dropkick but Mark catches him by both leg! And he hits a Double Leg Takedown in the corner! Mark hits Shoulder Jabs to the gut followed by more Chops! But Sabre yanks Mark to the corner and hits several Chops of his own! He pulls Mark from the corner & Irish Whip! Mark counterwhips and goes for the Back Body Drop! But Sabre hits Wheel Kick, knocking Mark to the ropes! Mark stumbles forward, holding his head. Jason grabs the arm & hits Double Underhook Backbreaker! He goes for the cover.

KICKOUT!
Orville: "Jason with the first major takedown and is already going for the back."
The Pittsburgh natives are firmly behind Jason! He picks up Mark and goes for the Death Plex (Suplex into a Double Knee Backbreaker)! But Mark lands behind and pushes him to the ropes. Jason runs for the Slingblade… but gets caught with the Swinging Sleeper Slam by Mark! Jason clutches head until Mark applies a Headlock! Mark tries to drown out the crowd's rally for Jason and locks it in deep! But The Ace feels the rally for him, so he fights back up! But then Mark grabs his hair and YANKS him back down on the back of his head! The boo quickly pours in as Mark mocks their towel wave! He reapplied the Headlock and kept Jason pinned down. Jason pulls himself back up, albeit slowly, but hits a Snapmare. Mark rolls up just as Jason swings at him! But the champion ducks and hits a Bridging Snap German Suplex! The ref goes to count… but Mark rolls back up while Holding Jason and hits a Half Nelson Backbreaker! Mark hooks the leg!

2! KICKOUT!
Orville: "Now it's Mark who's targeting the back of Jason, taking a page out of the Ace's playbook!"
Rodney: "Except Mark is making it look more efficient! He's taking his time to precisely wear down the challenger!"
On the kickout, Mark grabs Jason and immediately applies the Guillotine Choke! He keeps Jason pressed against the canvas! This slows him down tremendously as Sabre struggles to breathe! But the crowd rallies behind him with claps and cheers! Jason fights his way back up and slams Mark into the corner! But Mark keeps the hold locked in tight! Jason begins to slowly fade… but he still slams Mark again and again! Mark finally lets go, and Jason sits him up top, and he still has enough to hit a Knife Edge Chop to Mark! Jason climbs up for a Superplex attempt! But Mark blocks! He punches Jason across the face before pushing him back down! Mark wisely climbs down on the apron, but Jason runs and knocks him to the floor! Jason waits for Mark to get up, and he launches himself over! And Mark punts him in the gut in midair!
Down goes Jason straight to the floor! Jason clutches his gut, but the champion grabs him up and SLAMS him to the side of the barricade! Mark grabs Jason, runs, and BASHES him again! He then drags Jason up, hooks the arms and hits the X-Plex on the edge of the ramp! The crowd boos while Mark keeps his gaze at Holiday Promotions! They sat back and watched as Mark pointed at them. He then turns to the crowd and points at Revolution, who remains stoic. Mark rolls Jason back in, lifts him up, and hits a Snap Saito Suplex! But the Bane of Existence doesn't cover him! Instead, he picks Jason back up and dumps him in the corner. Mark has a smirk as he Chops and punches Jason repeatedly!
Orville: "I don't know if what Mark's doing is a smart move. He should be going for the cover instead of risking an opening for Jason to exploit!"
Rodney: "Pride, greed, and envy are sins for a reason, Mark! Don't get too carried away!"
Mark whips Jason to the opposite corner. But when he runs at him, Jason flings him over! Mark lands on the apron and Forearms Jason! He steps back and falls to a knee.

…KICKOUT!
Orville: "Jason's flurry of attacks keeps Mark down but only for a count of two!"
Rodney: "I tried to warn Mark about the deadly sins he was committing! And this is what happens when you fall for them!"
Orville: "I agree! Mark's baneful title reign looks to be in peril!"
Pittsburgh starts to get louder for Jason! Sabre gets up and puts the gun sign to the back of Mark's head! He picks up the champion for the Final Strike (Ripcord Lariat)... and Mark counters with an Elevated Flatliner! The mood shifts as Mark pulls himself up and grabs Sabre this time! He lifts him for the Buckle Bomb in the corner… But Sabre counters with a Hurricanrana! And Mark flies his face into the middle turnbuckle! The crowd pops as Mark lays there in an extreme daze! Jason stumbles over and lifts him back first to the top rope! He climbs up! Jason hooks the arms! And he hits a top rope Overhead Dragon Suplex! The fans are going nuts! Mark is out cold… but Jason wasn't finished! He yanks Mark back up… and HITS THE FINAL STRIKE! Jason hooks the leg!

KICKOUT!
Orville: "He kicked out! After all of that… after the Final Strike… Mark somehow kicked out before the three!"
Rodney: "I was wrong! Because Mark has to be blessed with the Holy Spirit to take all of that damage and STILL stay in this!"
Pittsburgh is surprised! They thought it was over! But Jason wasn't shocked! He just sits there smirking at Mark. "Okay, kid. Let's end this." he says. Jason gets up and drags Mark to his feet. He lifts Mark for the Hollow Point (Sitout Tombstone Piledriver)! But Mark escapes behind… and locks in the Dragon Mutilator (Dragon Sleeper)! The fans start to panic! Jason falls to his knees as Mark pulls back on his head and spine! The crowd tries to rally for the Ace, but Mark has him trapped in one of his deadliest submissions! It has Jason already fading! The ref goes over to check while Mark yells "HE'S DONE! IT'S OVER! HE IS FINISHED!" The ref lifts his arm… and it drops! He lifts it again… and it drops again! One more time the referee raises it…
And Sabre keeps the arm raised! Mark watches in disbelief as Sabre fights to his feet! He shifts his body around… and finally hits the Death Plex! The crowd are on their feet, giving an ovation as both men are down! Elijah & Holiday Promotions watch intensely, with Tate rubbing his Immortal Briefcase! Revolution sitting calmly, Ava seemingly enjoying these two go at it! And Azriel hasn't moved a muscle at all! Both men crawl up with Jason throwing a Forearm! The crowd cheers! Mark stumbles but grabs Jason's head and throws a stiff Forearm of his own! The crowd boos! Jason steps back, grabs Mark's hair, and throws one of his own! The crowd pops! Mark throws another one! And they all boo! Both men look at each other… and get into a big hockey fight! Everyone pops for that! Mark throws a punch, but Jason ducks and SLAPS Mark! Mark stumbles and goes for another strike! Jason SLAPS him again! Mark stumbles back, bounces off the ropes, and stumbles right into ANOTHER slap from Jason! And he collapses against the Ace!
Orville: "Mark looks to be gassed! This could be over in a matter of moments!"
But as soon as Jason grabs him, Mark pops up with two rapid jabs to the ribs!
Rodney: "Mark was playing dead! He suckered Jason in!"
He follows with the spin kick to the gut and a stomp to Jason's foot! He grabs the arms for a standing Comatose (Kamigoye)... but Sabre side steps and hits the Pele Kick! Mark stumbles back to the ropes… and hits a Running Comatose instead! Jason is FLOORED! The crowd fears the worst is coming! Mark grabs both of his arms and hits Double Wrist Lock Head Stomps over and over again! Finally, Mark lifts him up to his knees and hits the Comatose to the head! Mark hooks both legs!

KICKOUT!
Orville: "Jason isn't done yet! Mark has to bring out his best self in order to topple the Ace!"
Rodney: "Only God knows what Mark can do, if anything! Because I don't know what else can keep Jason down!"
The crowd are starting to lose their minds! Mark looks down at Jason! He asks "Where's your help at, Jason? Where's your friends you can tag in? Where's Nattie to count the three for you?!" Mark gets up and grabs both arms again. "No one's saving you from me, Jason! And no one's taking MY TITLE" and Mark hits several more Double Wrist Lock Head Stomps! It then turns into a straight ground and pound! The ref tries to pull Mark away, but Mark moves him aside and gets back in the corner! He then sees Jason crawling up… and lowers the knee pad! Mark attempts the Running Deep Coma (Reverse Komigoye)...
But Jason ducks! He leaps up… and HITS A POISONRANA! The fans are losing their minds! Mark is all the way dazed and confused! Jason begins to fire himself up as Mark stumbles around! He scoops up Mark… and HITS THE HALLOW POINT! Sabre rolls out to the apron! He scales the top rope! Everyone stands up! They know what's coming next! Jason stands all the way up top! He leaps off! It's the Final Hour (High Fly Flow)!
BUT MARK GETS THE KNEES UP! The air leaves Pittsburgh as Jason clutches his gut! Mark pulls himself up! He runs… AND HITS THE DEEP COMA! The crowd looks horrified! Everyone's hearts start to break! Jason is knocked out cold! Mark looks over at Jason… and starts to laugh! He just laughs and laughs because he feels Jason is done for! Mark crawls over and lifts Jason up by his hair! He then does Jason's own gun taunt and points right to his head! The crowd is BOOING! Booing HARD! But Mark continues to laugh! He turns Jason around and hooks the arms for the Baneful Ways (Lifting Double Underhook DDT spun into a Reverse DDT)! He picks Sabre up, flips him-
AND JASON HITS THE FINAL BLOW (RKO) OUT OF THE BANEFUL WAYS!
Rodney: "OH MY SWEET GOD!"
Orville: "FINAL BLOW! JASON HITS THE FINAL BLOW ON MARK!"
The crowd LOST IT! Fans are jumping up and down! Elijah nearly flew out of his seat! Holiday Promotions watch closely with Tate ready to strike! Jason weakly crawls over! The crowd wants this to happen! Ava leans in to watch! Jason lays an arm over Mark's chest! Azriel looks on! The referee drops down! Everyone counts!

Orville: "WILL WE SEE A NEW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!? IS THIS IT!?"
…

Rodney: "WAIT A MINUTE, WHO'S THAT!?"
….
There's no three-count! The crowd looks on in shock! Jason looks around in confusion! He turns his head… and sees a figure had YANKED the ref out of the ring! He then grabs the red and TOSSES him over the announce table! The figure looks at Jason… removes his hood… and reveals to be DJ KINGSTON!
Orville: "IT'S DJ! WE HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE UNBREAKABLE!"
Rodney: "WHY IS HE HERE!? WHAT BUSINESS DOES HE HAVE LEFT!?"
Orville: "HE'S CLEARLY BACK FOR REVENGE AGAINST JASON!"
Everyone was SHOCKED! But it then suddenly shifted to LOUD boos! DJ had a crazed look aimed at Jason! Sabre looked back, clearly caught off-guard by DJ being here! But before he could react, DJ rushes in and starts beating on Jason! The heat from Pittsburgh pours in as Kingston stomps down on The Ace and leveling him with strikes and punches!
Mark pulls himself up and looks at what's going on! He stumbles over to DJ… and joins in on the attack! Everyone couldn't stand the sight of Mark and DJ attacking Jason! DJ rolls out and grabs a chair while Mark continues to beat Jason down! Mark looks at DJ and says he'll hold Sabre up. DJ nods, but as Mark turns to grab Sabre… he SMASHES chair over his back!
Rodney: "WAIT A MINUTE! HE JUST ATTACKED MARK!"
Orville: "HE'S ATTACKING EVERYONE IN SIGHT!"
EVERYONE was caught off-guard from that! DJ proceeds to mercilessly bash the chair over both Jason AND Mark! He keeps going until the chair starts to break over their backs! Once he's finished, security arrives to stop this! But DJ threatens to swing the chair at them if they touch him! He then rolls back out and grabs the Heavyweight Title! As he slides back in, DJ sets the chair up and calmly takes a seat. He holds up the title to a HUGE chorus of boos!
Rodney: "I can't believe what I'm seeing!? What happens with the Heavyweight Title Match now!?"
Orville: "There is no title match now! And it's all thanks to that man standing in the ring! DJ just ruined this one-year anniversary main event!"
Tate looks ready to run down there, but Elijah stops him. "Not yet, Tate. Now's not the right time." He motions to Ced, who has a big scowl while looking at DJ. Ced gets up and walks off with the rest of Holiday Promotions. Revolution all look at each other, Ava's smile slowly fading. They all get up and head out of the crowd. And within the nosebleeds… Azriel was already gone. Evan Neal walks out on stage with a panicked look as fans begin booing, chanting "BULLSHIT," and throwing trash in the ring!
The screen fades with DJ sat there looking down at Jason & Mark with the Heavyweight Title over his shoulders….
