Before the show….

We open to Evan Neal pacing back & forth in his office. And he is PANICKING! Neal wonders how fast he could leave the arena before she-

?: "EVAN NEEEEEEEEAL!"

The door burst open, and there stood Alexis Espinoza. And she is PISSED! Evan began to sweat profusely.

Neal: "M-Ms. Espinoza! Welcome back! How was your trip-"

Espinoza: "What! The hell! Did you DO, NEAL!?"

With each word spoken, she storms right up to Evan Neal's face. Neal nervously backs against his desk.

Neal: "I-I-I-I…"

Espinoza: "On the most important show in ICW's history, I ask you for one thing! One simple request: Don't! F! Up! And what do I see online!? What has my inbox been filled with!?" She grabs Evan by his shirt and pins him against the wall. "NOT ONLY does one of my Women's Champions get her arm SHATTERED… but you let the most important Heavyweight Title Match end with, of all people, DJ KINGSTON ATTACKING EVERYBODY!?"

Neal: "W-Well… I… Uhhh-"

Espinoza: "Fans are in an uproar! Critics are calling this show a letdown! I have sponsors breathing down MY NECK as to why this is all going on!"

Neal: "It-It-It'll be fine! I can fix this-"

Espinoza: "You better!" She pushes him against the wall again! "Or I swear to God Neal I will serve your head up as the main event of Battlefield against Azriel! Fix this by the end of the night!"

With that, she lets Evan go and leaves the office, slamming the door behind her. Evan takes several deep breaths while adjusting his tie. The screen soon fades…

The opening instrumentals to One Step Closer (by Linkin Park) plays.

(We open inside a factory, where workers bash mallets against steel and pour hot liquid into large containers. Soon, they pour a cool substance over the liquid, causing the metal to harden. Once the smoke clears, we see the metal is in the shape of the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.)

(As the song ramps up, we fade into an overhead shot of Pittsburgh and zoom right to a shot of the PPG Paints Arena. We then zoom inside to an overhead shot of the fans waving the Terrible Towels)

"We are live from the PPG Paint Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! Welcome to Warzone: STEEL CITY SHOWDOWN!"

I cannot take this anymore

I'm saying everything I've said before

(We see all Bōryoku makes their entrance together, including the latest arrival Ayako Suzuki.)

All these words they make no sense

I find bliss in ignorance

(La Familia then makes their entrance and stand at ringside with Detrick pointing on stage)

Less I hear the less you'll say

But you'll find that out anyway

(We hear the roar of the crowd as a hooded woman walks out next to Detrick. It is revealed to be Alexis Guerrero, staring daggers at Ayako.)

Just like before

(She stands with La Familia as they stare down Bōryoku in the ring. La Familia then runs in and the brawl is on!)

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I need a little room to breathe

'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

(We then see quick highlights of the 8 Person Tag Match, including Alexis & Ayako trading shots, CJ kicking Mateo's head off, the family style quadruple superkick to CJ, Kyoshi hitting a Super Rana from the top, only for Detrick to flip and land on his feet, Freddy doing the Freddy shuffle, and all ending with CJ hitting Death From Above only for Matwo to slide in and hit CJ with the tag title, helping Detrick get the pin and win. We see Ayako & the rest of Bōryoku help CJ to the back while La Familia celebrates… except for a confused and irritated Lucha Warrior.)

I find the answers aren't so clear

Wish I could find a way to disappear

(We then shift to Marvelous Tate Williams and Will Ralston make their entrances for their Immortal Opportunity match)

All these thoughts they make no sense

I find bliss in ignorance

Nothing seems to go away

Over and over again

(We're then shown quick highlights of Tate and Will, with Holiday Promotions & MPI eventually getting involved. We see Asher helping but then accidentally attacks Rick, leaving Tate open to attack and defeat Will. It ends with Rick hitting the Blackout on Asher and Will before signing with Holiday Promotions)

Just like before

(We then shift to Dylan Torres and Furno Moxley making their entrances with Furno holding up the Demolition Title.)

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I need a little room to breathe

'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

(We then see highlights of the Demolition Title Match, including Dylan hitting the Motor City Backhand in the opening seconds, a Vertical Suplex on some chairs, blood everywhere, trading weapon shots, and Caesar running interference. It ends with Furno busting open Caesar before hitting Infernal Device to win and retain)

Everything you say to me

(It then shifts to Carson Michaels, Angelica Rhodes, and Brianna Borden making their Legacy entrance. It was followed by Sofia & Daria walking out, bumping titles, and Kirsi running in front of them amped up for a fight.)

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I need a little room to breathe

'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to, break

(The fight is on as we see highlights of the Six-Woman tag match, including Brianna & Daria bulldozing through everyone, Kirsi jumping on Angelica like a maniac, and Carson trading blows once again with Sofia. It leads to Daria getting put through a table by Brianna, who then pins Kirsi for the win. All followed up by Sofia & the Misfits handcuffed as Brianna smashes her bat over Daria's hand & arm.)

(As the song slows down, it then cuts to a slow motion shot of Mark Jacobs and Jason Sabre making their entrances for the Heavyweight Title Match. There's a shot of Holiday Promotions, Revolution, and even Azriel watching from their respective places as Mark holds up the title in front of Sabre.)

Shut up when I'm talking to you

Shut up, shut up, shut up

Shut up when I'm talking to you

Shut up, shut up, shut up

(We then see highlights of the historic Heavyweight Title Match, including the moment they lock up and trade holds, to Sabre hitting the Double Underhook Backbreaker, Mark countering the Slingblade the Swinging Sleeper Slam, and hitting Jason with X-Plex on the ramp)

Shut up, I'm about to break

(To the tune of the beat, we see Mark go for the Springboard Clothesline but gets hit with the Best Dropkick Ever)

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

(We see more highlights of the match, including Jason hitting a Tope Con Hilo, A Hurricanrana that sends Mark's face into the turnbuckle, a top rope Overhead Dragon Suplex, and the Final Strike for a two count)

I need a little room to breathe

'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

(The intensity ramps up with both men throwing punches and hitting everything they can, including a Pele Kick followed by Mark's Comatose, Jason using the Poisonrana followed by his Hallow Point, The Final Hour getting blocked, Mark hitting the Deep Coma & laughing, then Mark looking for Baneful Ways only to fall to the Final Blow instead)

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

(We then see Sabre covering, but a hooded figure drag the ref out and reveals to be DJ Kingston, who slides in and attacks Jason. He then lays out Mark with a chair from behind before sitting on a chair with the Heavyweight Title)

I need a little room to breathe

'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to….

(The song ends with DJ holding up the title to a chorus of boos and trash being thrown at him)

BREAK

(The screen cracks at that final line, right over DJ's face, and breaks into pieces right before going to black.)

The screen cuts to the ICW Arena, aka the Frank C. Ewrin Center in Austin, Texas, where pyro goes off on stage! The lights come on, showing the fans cheering and ready for the show.

But the festivities were immediately interrupted as Ghetto Symphony (by A$AP Rocky) plays to LOUD boos. Out walks DJ Kingston with the spotlight shining on him. He looks around at the overwhelming boos as he makes his way to the ring.

Jazz: "This would be the moment I welcome everyone to ICW Battlefield, but it seems we're jumping right into things with, arguably, the most hated man in wrestling right now: with DJ Kingston, fresh off of ruining the most important Heavyweight Title match to date!"

Jay: "DJ Kingston came roaring back with a vengeance, Jazz! Frankly, I have never seen that kind of maniacal look in his eyes than I did when he swung that chair over Jason AND Mark! I'm very interested to hear what he has to say!"

Jazz: "Well I'm not, and neither are the fans! But clearly that isn't going to stop Kingston anyway."

DJ walks around ringside and grabs a steel chair. He rolls in and sits in the same manner from Pittsburgh. The music dies down as "WE WANT NATTIE" chants fill the arena. DJ sits there, listening to the fans wanting Natalia. After several long seconds, DJ finally spoke:

DJ: "That b*tch is dead to me!"

The boos turned NUCLEAR, but DJ did not seem to care at all!

DJ: "She had one job. ONE! JOB! And she could've had it all! The championship, the money, the power, EVERYTHING! Instead… she pissed it all away just to go home with Jason Sabre."

Hearing his name, the crowd switched from boos to chants of "GO ACE!"

DJ: "Yeah, chant for him all you want! But in a straight up one-on-one match, he STILL never beat me!"

"WE WANT NATTIE" chants rise up followed by "LET'S GO ACE!" The sound of Natalia's name being brought up pissed off DJ even more.

DJ: "You wanna talk about her!? Let's talk about her! Unbreakable, I dealt with one of the WORST officials to ever call a match! She swore up and down that she would call it down the middle! She promised EVERYONE that she would do this fair. And yet, that biased and love-struck referee physically put her hands on ME and nearly cost me EVERYTHING! Jason should have NEVER been in that Heavyweight Championship match! Because IT WAS ALWAYS MINE TO HAVE!"

The arena was filled with boos followed by "ASSHOLE" chants.

DJ: "I may be a lot of things… but I am not the biggest asshole walking! That title goes to the champion himself: Mark! Jacobs!"

They still boo, though it was unclear if it was for DJ or Mark. But DJ simply chuckles

DJ: "Y'know Mark, the last time we talked face-to-face, I told you that I respect you in some ways. And that still holds true even now! We both don't care about what these people think. We both hate Jason Sabre. And we both will do whatever it takes to be Heavyweight Champion! But you made one fatal mistake:"

DJ's smile went away as he leans forward on the chair, looking dead into the camera

DJ: "You looked down on me. As I was laying ringside after my match at Unbreakable, I looked into your eyes. And I could see that you saw me as nothing! No… you saw me as less than dirt! At that moment, you made the greatest mistake of your life! Because what you should've seen was the man who's gonna take that title from you! No one else! Not even Jason Sabre! I'M THE RIGHTFUL CONTENDER! And I'm soon to be the RIGHTFUL ICW Heavyweight Champion!"

The boos continue to pour in. But on the large screen, it cuts backstage to the parking lot. DJ got up and watched as a familiar red Gran Turismo pulled up to the arena! And out appears a pissed off Jason Sabre! The crowd pops as DJ folds the chair, knowing Jason is gunning for him!

Jazz: "Would you look at that! The Ace has arrived! And he has one target on his mind, and that's the man standing in the ring!"

Jay: "I don't know about that, Jazz! Because I'm told there are some people waiting for Sabre backstage right now!"

But as Jason walks backstage, Elijah Holiday and Ruthless Roger Stone appear… and are blocking his path! Before Sabre could do anything, he's suddenly attacked by the rest of Holiday Promotions! Trey Gold, Rick Washington, and Marvelous Tate Williams all appear and attacked Sabre!

The crowd boos while DJ watches and laughs. Elijah walks in frame, screaming at them to teach Jason a lesson! Jason tries to fight back, throwing punches at Tate & Rick & Ced! He looks ready to fight Stone… until Sabre is FLATTENED by a Spear from Ced! The arena boos while watching Ced beat down Jason… until MPI showed up for a fight as well! The brawl was on between MPI & Holiday Promotions until security all ran over to separate both sides! DJ couldn't help but smile!

DJ: "Like I said, Jason has to get people to fight his battles for him! But it doesn't matter anymore. Why? Because Sabre is DONE! FINISHED! And NOBODY is gonna stand in my way-"

DJ was BLASTED from behind by Mark Jacobs! The champion snuck in the ring and took down Kingston! And he immediately starts wailing at him!

Jazz: "It's Mark! Mark Jacobs is here and he's looking for payback!"

Jay: "DJ thought he was in the clear, but it looks like he didn't account for the Heavyweight Champion to sneak up on him!"

Mark starts beating down on DJ for revenge. DJ pushes him off. But Mark grabs his arms and hits the Double Wrist Lock Head Stomps. While doing so, Mark yells at him "You made a big mistake hitting me!" He slides out and grabs a chair before rolling back in. Matk screams for him to get up. And as he does, Mark goes to swing the chair… and gets kicked from behind by King Caesar! He beats down on Mark as DJ starts to recover. DJ, even more pissed off, yells for Caesar to pick him up! Caesar drags Mark to his feet and pushes him into the path of Kingston's Paradise (Running Blockbuster)!

Mark was laid out cold. But DJ wasn't finished yet! He picks up the chair and lays it across from Mark. Dragging him up once more, DJ looks around at the chorus of boos and smiles. He then hoists up the champion and PLANTS him with the Crownkiller (JML Driver) down on the chair! Caesar hands DJ the Heavyweight title, who then holds it up over Mark's body!

Jazz: "King Caesar proving to be the difference maker for DJ to flatten Mark Jacobs! This whole situation is getting out of hand!"

Jay: "DJ feels he's the rightful champion, Jason wants payback, Holiday Promotions wants the title, Revolution, Azriel, everybody and their mother is going after Mark!"

Jazz: "It's like Ms. Espinoza said: it is Open Hunting Season on Mark Jacobs! But we need to take a quick break to gather everything and get some semblance of control! We'll be right back!"

((Ad Break))

The screen cuts to backstage, where Mark is limping after being laid out by King Caesar & DJ Kingston.

From the corner of Mark's eye, he sees someone walking up near him. He turns as the camera pans over to reveal Evan Neal… looking extremely nervous.

Mark: "...Well!? Are you just gonna stand there- shit!" He winces in pain but continues one. "Or are you gonna do something about all these people coming after me!"

Neal: "Look Mark…" he sighs. "I understand where you are coming from. But right now, I'm here to tell you about tonight's main event. You get to face Ced & DJ Kingston in a tag match. And you'll…" He sighs. "You'll be teaming with Jason Sabre!"

Mark looks flabbergasted and dumbfounded. He stood there for ten seconds, contemplating on the news he'd just heard. Mark then smirks and pats Neal on the shoulder. Neal smiles back, feeling relieved, and Mark says.

Mark: "Go f*ck yourself."

The smile on Evan's face IMMEDIATELY washed away. With that, Mark limps off. And the scene fades with Evan Neal standing there, clearly livid.

The scene then cuts back to commentary.

Jay: "JAZZ! He can't do that! Mark can't just say that to Mr. Neal! He co-signs his paycheck!"

Jazz: "Mark doesn't care. Nor does he care about teaming up with Jason Sabre tonight! Those two already don't like each other, but adding in DJ & Ced would be way more disastrous!"

Jay: "Mr. Neal is under A LOT of pressure to make things right! And I trust that he will do so!"

Jazz: "For his sake, I hope so too. Or else he will feel Ms. Espinoza's fury! But we can confirm that, later tonight, Trey Gold will go one-on-one with former Heavyweight Champion Will Ralston. Not to mention we'll hear from Legacy after a shocking week they've given us! All that and more as we are full steam ahead to our next PPV in less than two weeks: ICW Apocalypse! But right now, let's move on to our opening match!"

Back In The Day (by Megadeth) plays. Out walks Adrian Young, shadow boxing and ready for combat. Then Out of Control (by Like a Storm) plays as Gregg Hart walks out next to Young. They fist bump and make their way to the ring, stopping to high five the fans. They slide in and pose with their fists up.

"The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first at a total combined weight of 434lbs: the team of ADRIAN YOUNG & GREGG HART!"

Jazz: "Adrian Young & Gregg Hart may be fairly new, but their on-going beef with the KNA has slowly driven them over the edge. They plan to take out some frustrations tonight, while at the same time send a direct message to Edward & AR3."

Jay: "These two are way over their heads for calling out a team like the Kings of a New Age! Especially when backed by the International Champion, Chris Owens! The day they meet in the ring will go just like last time: they will bend the knee!"

Demons (by Imagine Dragon) soon plays to a chorus of boos. Out walks Ray Cobra & Seth Mercer… and a reluctant Danielle Rose. They make their way to the ring and pose to more boos.

"Introducing their opponents, representing D.R.S, at a total combined weight of 490lbs: The team of SETH MERCER & RAY COBRA!"

Jazz: "I may not like her too much, but I can't help but feel bad for Danielle, getting stuck with Ray Cobra and Seth Mercer of all people."

Jay: "I'll have you know that these two are about to do KNA a favor by beating up these guys!"

Jazz: "It's all for money, which at this rate, is something those two are scratching to get right now."

The bell rings with Seth Mercer & Adrian Young starting. They attempt to lock up until Seth ducks past. And he dabs in Young's face. Adrian responds with a Roundhouse Kick to the head! Seth falls against his corner and Ray tags in. Rey steps in and flexes his arm… and arm fat. Young rolls his eyes & tags Gregg in. He rubs his hands together, flexing his triceps to a crowd pop. He and Rey then go for a test of strength. Both are nearly even… until Gregg hits a double arm takedown! Ray quickly rolls out as Danielle looks at Gregg, amused at what she sees. Gregg glances over at Danielle as she waves at him. Ray & Seth sees this and tries to jump him and Young! The fight is on as they fight in opposite corners. The D-less RS takes the fight to the corners, but then Gregg & Adrian start to fight back! Gregg Shoulder Tackles Ray's guts while Adrian Shoot Kicks Seth's chest. Both look at each other, nod, and hit dueling Sanding Dropkicks! Adrian kicks Seth out as Gregg lifts Ray up. He wraps his arms around the waist and then hits Cobra with the Hart-To-Hart (Belly-to-Belly Suplex)! Young tags in and climbs up top just as Seth gets on the apron. He runs at Adrian, but Adrian hops back in the ring and sweeps the leg, sending Seth falling on the apron! Gregg rolls out and picks him up in the Argentine Backbreaker! Danielle cheers Gregg on as Young turns to Ray… who back up and runs at him! But he ducks and sends Ray to the ropes. Ray rebounds and runs right into a Rolling ARM-A-Geddon (Cross Armbreaker)! Cobra screams in pain and immediately taps out!

"Here are your winners: GREGG HART & ADRIAN YOUNG!"

Jazz: "Money well spent, I guess."

Jay: "Don't mock them, Jazz! They just gassed them out for KNA to eventually pick the bones!"

Jazz: "I doubt Edward & Aiden feel the same way… but a swift win for Young & Hart nonetheless!"

Gregg drops Seth and looks at Danielle. He apologizes for hurting her allies in front of her. But Danielle doesn't mind, and even took some enjoyment out of it. He enters the ring as she turns and walks away. Ray & Seth weakly crawl after her. Meanwhile, as Young & Hart celebrate, Hannah enters the ring to try and get a word with them.

Hannah: "Gregg! Adrian! Congrats on the victory tonight, but we know that your focus is set on the Kings of a New Age. What did this match mean in terms of sending a message to Edward & Aiden?

Adrian: "It's simple. The message is that they can't run from us forever! They can't hide from us forever! They can knock us down but they'll never make us give up!"

Gregg: "He's right. Have Adrian & I tagged together longer than they have? No! But here's what they should realize: we're just getting started! They haven't seen anything yet! I guarantee-"

?: "Hold on! Time out! Wait a minute!"

The crowd starts booing as Gregg & Adrian look around. They soon look to the skybox and see Edward & Aiden standing there.

Aiden: "This is getting out of hand! First, you two wanna call yourself a tag team, yeah? Then, you wanna say you're the best tag team!? In the face of the KNA!? Are you MAD?!"

Edward: "And now you said we ain't see nothing yet… but that's where you're wrong, you see. In fact, let us show you just what we see out of you! Starting with Adrian Young!"

Edward snaps his fingers…. and the screen displays a blank white image. This makes the blood in Adrian boil with anger.

Adien: "Never in our lives have we met anyone so vanilla. Yet here you are, a boy who makes White Bread look interesting by comparison!"

Edward: "Now hold on, my friend. There is something more to Mr. Young here. Something that everyone else may have forgotten… But I haven't:"

The screen changes the image to Adrian back in Season 2, lying in the ring after losing a Triple Threat Match featuring Jason Malice & Koji Yoshida.

Edward: "Adrian Young, a talentless bloke who couldn't hack it by himself. That's why you ran off and joined Gregg! Because you need someone to help fight battles you can't win!"

Adrian looks to run out there, but Gregg steps up and holds him back

Aiden: "But don't think we forgot you, Gregg."

This catches Gregg's attention.

Aiden: "Unlike your new best friend here, there's a lot more to you. A lot of promise and potential…. All tossed away because you challenged us!"

Edward: "This is where I would disagree with you, AR3. All Gregg is good for is being a third rate version of his fourth rate family! They're not legends, they're frauds to this sport! In fact, this is what's left of the Harts"

The screen displays an image of a cemetery. The crowd gasps in shock as Gregg stands there frozen.

Aiden: "You lot are pathetic! Nowhere near worth our time and energy. We let you two run around because it entertained us, but we let you two go on far enough!"

Edward: "So here's what's gonna happen: Next week, Kings Of a New Age versus you two muppets! And we'll put an end to this sad story before it even begins!"

Aiden: "Next week, you two… will Bend! The! Knee-"

Adrian: "SHUT UP!"

Young had taken the mic from Hannah, and his shout surprised everyone, including the KNA

Adrian: "You think this is a game!? You think we came here just to be called bland and boring!? YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO!"

Adrian leans against the ropes, pointing to the KNA

Adrian: "Let me tell you British bastards something: you two have just signed your death wishes! I want you to look me in the eyes right now… Because you're staring into the eyes of a Dragon! You're looking into one of the most violent men in combat sports! And I promise you, I'm gonna personally rip your arms off and bash your heads in with them!"

The crowd starts to come alive for what he's threatening.

Adrian: "And this guy right here" he points to Gregg. "You two don't know the sacrifices he's had to make to get here! The emotional turmoil he faces just by being the son of Owen Hart! And you two want to embarrass his family tree! You two better start writing your wills because this man here is gonna make sure the KNA ends up dead & buried as well!"

Adrian hands the mic over to Gregg, who hasn't moved nor broke his gaze from the KNA. Small chants for Gregg break out as he stares directly into their souls.

Gregg: "Here's the fact: I tried to give you two all the credit in the world as a tag team, but for as short a time I've been in ICW, I've seen all I needed to see from the KNA. You two aren't Kings, you're cowards! You two aren't Lords, you're lackeys! And more importantly, you two want to be the best, but with attitudes like that? You two aren't even fit to lace our boots!"

The KNA were now starting to get pissed. But Gregg spoke with malice and bitterness in his voice.

Gregg: "We didn't team up on a whim just because we're Canadians! It's not just because Adrian respects my family! We teamed up because we push each other to be the best there is, was, and ever will be! Next week, we aren't bending the knee! You will! We're not submitting to your rule, we'll make you submit to us!"

Gregg leans against the ropes next to Adrian.

Gregg: "Next week, Kings will fall! And they will fall to Adrian Young! To Gregg Hart! TO THE MASTERS! OF! THE NORTH!"

Now the KNA were irate. EXTREMELY irate. Gregg & Adrian goads them to the ring, but they simply hurl threads and opt to leave. Gregg & Adrian watch them leave then pose in the ring.

Jazz: "A disgusting move from the KNA to insult Gregg & Young like that. But the passion and intensity shown by them just now… I would be worried if I was Edward & Aiden."

Jay: "Pffth… The KNA. Worried about them? Jazz there's no way in hell that any team should be worried about Adrian Young and Gregg Hart! They think a name change is enough to topple the Kings?!"

Jazz: "That didn't feel like a simple name change, Jay. That felt more like a declaration of who they truly are!"

The scene cuts to the medical room, where Jason Sabre is sitting on a bench and getting looked over. Jason was in pain, but he appeared even more annoyed that he's back in this room.

Jason sighs and looks up…. to see a lollipop in front of his face. The camera moves over to reveal Asher Darma, grinning from ear to ear, holding the candy in front of him.

Asher: "Oooohhh Mr. Professional Ace of the Wrestling! I heard you had a not-so pleasant run-in with the Promotion on Holiday! And I learned that the children feel better when they eat the sweet delicacies on the stick after a medical check-up! So I have come to offer my assistance along with this lollipop to make the pain leave the body!"

Jason looks at the candy, and back at Asher.

Jason: "No."

Asher sadly sits the lollipop down and takes a seat next to him.

Asher: "I understand your resolve to fight on your own, but I would be dishonest if I did not say how worried I am for your main event tonight."

Jason: "Trust me, I can handle- hold up. What's the main event tonight?"

Asher: "Did nobody tell you? The DJ of the Kingston and the Ced are to face yourself… and the Mark for the Jacobs. All signed off by the Neal of Evans."

Jason: "You gotta be kidding me… there's no way. Everyone knows Mark is gonna kick me in the nuts the first chance he gets, and Neal expects us to team up?"

Asher: "Well…the rumor I may or may not have heard is that the Mark for the Jacobs has declined the match. Where this puts the main event, I do not have a clue. I know you wish to fight the battles that you face all by yourself, and I wish to support my good friend in the Will for the Ralstons against the Trey of the Golden, but my offer to assist still remains in place-"

Jason: "No. You're a good friend to have, Asher. And I do enjoy your company. But these are my problems, and they're my problems to handle. I'll figure something out for tonight." He pats Asher on the shoulder. "But remember what I said before, not everyone is your friend. Even if you're friendly to everyone. Watch your back and be careful."

Asher nods and gets up. But Jason speaks up.

Jason: "OH! One last thing! If you see Neal, let him know that if Mark is in the main event, that I'm kicking him in the nuts first!"

Asher was about to speak up, probably to say how wrong that is to do in the match. But a loud commotion outside catches both of their attentions. Asher and Jason look at each other, and "The Slumdog" runs out to the backstage area. There lies Will Ralston on the floor clutching his leg. Darma hurries to look over him as the medics come rushing out. From behind, Jason stands back and watches all of this unfold with his arms folded and eating the candy.

((Ad Break))

We cut backstage to Alexis Espinoza's office, where she's pacing back and forth. She keeps a calm demeanor, but her facial expression was full of rage.

Espinoza: "Everything is getting out of hand." She says to herself. "It's bad enough dealing with Legacy. My champions are either causing fights, getting injured, or not bothering to show up! Even the Heavyweight Title picture is a disaster to unpack! And now with Will leg injury… that's two matches in jeopardy, and I can't have that happen. Not tonight. I need to find an opponent for Trey Gold and quick!"

There's a knock on her door.

Espinoza: "You guys can come in." Her door swings open as she continues to pace. "Rey. Jesus. Phoenix. I need a favor from one of you to take a last minute match-"

As Alexis looked up, assuming it was the rest of La Rebelion, she immediately went quiet out of disbelief. Because standing at her door… is Mark Jacobs. And he looked not only beat up, but looked extremely serious. With one title in hand and a folder in another.

Mark: "Princess. It's been a minute-"

Espinoza: "¡Vete!" She said full of hatred.

Mark walks in and closes the door behind her. Still reeling from DJ's attack, he pauses to recompose himself before turning back to Alexis.

Mark: "You look desperate. Pressure from this job getting to you?"

Alexis: "After last week, I should be asking you the same question. And speaking of main events, you should be getting ready for yours tonight. With that.. GET! OUT! NOW!"

Mark doesn't leave. He stares at Alexis and walks up to her. Alexis still stands there, glaring death and hatred at him.

Mark: "Let's face it." He says calmly. "We both know you're in a tougher spot than me. You need someone to take Will's place tonight. It's no secret that tonight's main event will only result in Jason & I getting into a fist fight, along with DJ and Ced. So why don't I do us both a favor and I step in for Ralston instead?"

Alexis: "And why on God's green earth would I ever entertain anything you want or have to say?"

Mark: "Because of this." He lifts up a folder in front of Alexis.

Without breaking eye-contact, she snatches the folder from him and reads it over. Her face went from stern and venomous to a look of shock and confusion.

Alexis: "You can't be serious-"

Mark: "Dead serious." She looks back at Mark, who had a cold look on his face. "I'm a man of my word. And I have a point to prove to everyone. This right here will make sure my message gets sent loud and clear. Now do we have a deal?"

Alexis takes a moment and looks back at the contents of the folder. She grabs her pen and signs something before closing it and handing it back.

Alexis: "I do not like any of this, but fine. Whatever happens tonight, it will all be on you. Now get out and go get ready."

Mark doesn't say anything. The two of them stare down again before Mark turns and leaves. Alexis takes a seat on her couch and rubs her head as the scene fades…

The scene returns to commentary.

Jay: "Well it looks to be official, Jazz! Mark will not be teaming with Jason in our main event tonight! Instead, he's taking Will Ralston's spot in his match against Trey Gold!"

Jazz: "What was in that folder that convinced Ms. Espinoza to change the match like that?"

Jay: "Whatever it is, it has to be something big! Possibly a threat to Espinoza's reign of power!"

Jazz: "You're out of your mind if you think Mark has anything that can threaten Alexis Espinoza of all people!"

All of the lights dim down as The Legacy (by Wu-Tang) plays to loud boos. Once the song moves past the opening chorus, a single spotlight shines down on the stage. There, all of Legacy stands in a circle, their backs facing each other. The camera starts on Christopher, who spits water in the air like his father the moment the spotlight shines down. The camera then circles around to each member. Sebastian smirks and yells "WOOOO" while Doser stands there throwing up the "V" hand sign like his father. It then pans back over to Christopher, who spits more water out in front of the camera. All three men then throw up the "Ls" as the lights pop back on.

Jay: "And speaking of threats to Alexis Espinoza, here comes her biggest threat to La Rebelion! Legacy is in the building!"

Jazz: "Possibly here to gloat about what all went down last week on Battlefield and Steel City Showdown, though it's only the men who are here tonight. Who knows what nonsense they're gonna say."

Jay: "Nonsense!? Legacy only speak facts, Jazz! And they're about to drop some facts about their greatness to everyone!"

Christopher, Sebastian, and Doser all walk to the ring. Sebastian taunts the crowd, gloating and doing a mini Crotch Chop while Doser remains stoic and serious. They soon enter the ring as the crowd boos them some more.

Christopher: "Boo all you want, but nobody can deny Legacy any longer! Ever since Legacy arrived two weeks ago, we've changed the game for ICW! In fact, I'm gonna give you a quick rundown on the past two weeks! It started-"

Helmsley was interrupted by loud chants of "YOU SUCK!" Sebastian steps up and grabs another mic.

Sebastian: "Ask any woman here, and they'll tell you we don't suck! We make them swallow!"

More boos pour in as he & Christopher laugh & high five. Doser just stands there pissed off at the boos.

Christopher: "As I was saying, it started with Angelica siding with us! After that, I laid a brutal beating on that masked loser, Phoenix! And I showed that masked coward that this isn't a Game he will never win!"

Christopher walks over and drapes an arm around Sebastian's neck.

Christopher: "Last week, this man here proved why his technique stands head & shoulders above everyone! He plays dirty, he is unapologetic, and he made sure to put a bullet through The Shooter! I'm proud of you, man!"

He puts up the L sign, and Sebastian bumps Ls with him. Christopher then walks over to Doser and pats him in the chest and back.

Christopher: "Last week, this Modern-Day War Mastodon took Garza and made him into an infant! He showed Big Papi Cool who his REAL daddy is! And I know what everyone's about to say: DoSeR lOsT! GaRzA bEaT hIm!" he says mockingly.

The crowd responds by chanting "GARZA BEAT YOU" at Doser. Sebastian goes over to cover this boiling Doser's ears as Helmsley appears ticked off.

Christopher: "Well here's some breaking news: NO HE DIDN'T! Doser was the one left standing! So if you cross Legacy, you disrespect our family histories, you'll answer to Legacy's executioner!"

Everyone boos some more as Doser raises his fists up. Helmsley laughs and stands in the center.

Christopher: "And as great as those moments were… they pale in comparison to what the ladies did to those Misfits in Pittsburgh! Replay the footage!"

Helmsley points to the big screen, where it plays a clip from Steel City Showdown of Brianna putting Daria through the announce table. It then showed Carson hitting Shattered Expectation on Kirsi & Sofia followed by Angelica hitting the Cross Rhodes on Reynoso on the floor. We then see Brianna grabbing Kirsi and hitting the Scorpion Death Blow to pin and win.

The video then cuts to Sofia & The Misfits getting handcuffed in the ring and Sophia cuffed on the outside. Brianna pulls Daria over to the steel steps, lifts her baseball bat, and SMASHES it on Daria's arm! Daria lets out a painful scream as officials check on her. The clip ends with Carson, Angelica, and Brianna holding up the L hand sign.

The crowd boos as Sebastian & Helmsley gives a big applause.

Christopher: "Now THAT was spectacular! Ladies, you killed it! THAT is Legacy! THAT is what we're here to do when anyone disrespects our family business! Now, the ladies will speak a lot more about that moment on Warzone and the future of the Women's Division, but allow us to officially welcome 'The Iconic Poison' Brianna Borden to Legacy!"

The crowd boos as all three of them hold up the L sign.

Christopher: "As for tonight, we aren't done yet! In fact, we've gotten pretty bored with running through La Rebelion. We want a challenge! Someone to step up and face a generational talent! So if any one of you has the guts to get in this ring right now, this is your golden opportunity! Who has the balls to play this Game-"

From behind, Phoenix attacks Christopher! Sebastian & Doser were caught off-guard, which was long enough for Rey Aguayo & Jesus Garza to run in as well! The brawl is on!

…But only for a little bit as Legacy quickly slid out of the ring! The crowd went crazy for La Rebelion, who all paced around the ring.

Rey: "Nah don't run now! Y'all wanted to fight?! Get back in this ring and let's fight!"

The crowd comes alive, but Christopher shakes his head.

Christopher: "No! I never said we wanted a fight! This challenge was for a wrestling match! One-on-one!"

The three in the ring all look at each other. In their minds, all of them want to fight. But the crowd made their vote by chanting…

"PHOE-NIX! PHOE-NIX! PHOE-NIX!"

Hearing this, Phoenix stepped up and pointed at Helmsley to a big pop. Rey & Jesus look at each other and nod.

Jesus: "Ight then! Phoenix accepts your challenge! So you get back in the ring and take this beating like a man!"

Crowd pops as Phoenix takes his shirt off and beckons Helmsley back in the ring. Christopher goes towards the ring…

Christopher: "No."

Helmsley smirks as the crowd boos. He slowly backs up towards Sebastian & Doser.

Christopher: "You must be stupider than you look if you thought we were gonna compete again! This isn't that type of Game! I already beat you, Phoenix! And you're not getting a rematch against me anytime soon!"

Crowd boos as Phoenix still motions Christopher in the ring. Helmsley chuckles as he continues on.

Christopher: "But don't worry! I told you that anyone who accepts would face a generational talent! And that's still true! So Phoenix, since you're itching for a match, allow me to introduce the talent you're about to face right now!"

All three men step aside. La Rebelion stands there, waiting for someone to come out. After a few seconds…

Ropes (by Foo Fighters) plays! The crowd gave a loud mixed reaction at the sight of a very bitter Jacob Uso walking out to the ring!

Jay: "JAZZ LOOK! IT'S JACOB USO! WHAT A PICK TO FACE PHOENIX! AND WHAT A PICKUP FOR LEGACY!"

Jazz: "Slow down, Jay! Jacob never said he joined them! But I'm surprised that he would even agree to this! Especially after the emotionally tense confrontation he had with his cousin, Raptor, back in Pittsburgh!"

Jay: "Oh he's pissed off at Raptor not agreeing to a fight, that's for sure! And I can tell he's about to take out all of that frustration on Phoenix! I, and I can't emphasize this, CANNOT wait for this one!"

Sebastian goes to hype him up, but Jacob walks straight past him without a glance. He keeps his eyes glued on Phoenix while walking up and stepping between the ropes. He stares down all three La Rebelion members without batting an eye. Phoenix motions for the others to leave him in the ring. Rey & Jesus slowly back off and exits the ring.

Suddenly, Helmsley runs in and clotheslines Phoenix from behind! Everyone starts booing! He immediately runs out just before Rey & Jesus could chase him down! Legacy retreats up the ramp just as officials dash out to block La Rebelion's path! Jacob just stands there as one of the refs enters the ring to check on Phoenix.

Jazz: "Now that was uncalled for! Helmsley refused to face Phoenix again, but it's okay for him to attack from behind like that!?"

Jay: "Phoenix should know better than to turn his back on anyone! This is Christopher's game! He makes the rules and he made sure everyone will remember that!"

Jazz: "We need to take a quick commercial break to try and calm things down! We'll be right back with Phoenix VS Jacob Uso-"

Jay: "IF Phoenix can even compete!"

((Ad Break))

As we return from break, we see Legacy & La Rebelion cleared from ringsde… and Phoenix standing in the ring across from Jacob!

Jazz: "Welcome back, everyone! And it looks like Phoenix is ready to compete!"

Jay: "This is beyond stupid, Jazz! Doesn't Phoenix know what he's getting himself into?! Who he's in the ring with!? And the type of guy his opponent is!?"

Jazz: "Phoenix does not care in the slightest! He wants to send a message! And he wants to send it to Helmsley & Legacy!"

The bell rings… and Phoenix immediately hits a Running Shotgun Dropkick! Jacob falls back against the corner. Phoenix goes and Shoot Kicks Jacob across the chest. He continues to kick until Jacob pushes him far back. Phoenix rolls up and runs at him…and gets turned inside out from an Uppercut! Jacob wipes his mouth then lifts Phoenix by his neck. He tosses him to the corner and hits repeated Shoulder Tackles to the midsection. This was then followed by a LOUD Knife Edge Chop that flings Phoenix off his feet! Jacob then Irish Whips him to the opposite corner. Phoenix falls against it, and Jacob runs for the Hip Attack. But Phoenix leaps over to the apron, sending the Uso crashing in the corner. Phoenix then stuns Jacob with a Soccer Kick! Jacob stumbles back just as Phoenix Springboards and hits a Hurricanrana! Jacob rolls out as the crowd hypes up The Bird of War! Feeding off their energy, Phoenix grabs the ropes and Slingshots himself on to Jacob… who catches him out of the air! He spins around and SLAMS him down with the Swinging Side Slam on the floor!

Jay: "Holy hell, Jazz! He slammed him so hard he made Phoenix bounce off the floor like a basketball!"

Jazz: "That was indeed a brutal landing for him to take! Especially with Phoenix's history of injuries to the mid & lower back!"

Jacob drags Phoenix's body up then tosses him back in the ring. Phoenix, in clear pain once again, struggles to get back up. Jacob slides back in just as Phoenix forces himself to stand. The Forgotten Son throws him to the ropes, pops him up high, and catches him in the Samoan Drop! Jacob lays back and hooks the leg.

1!

…

2! KICKOUT!

Jazz: "A kickout from the Bird of War, but he is clearly feeling the damage Jacob Uso is doing! Can he come soaring back?"

Jay: "No way, Jazz! Jacob is the definition of a savage! He looks to impose his will over La Rebelion's Luchador! All for Legacy's expense!"

Jacob drags Phoenix up and hits a Headbutt that knocks Phoenix against the ropes. He follows up with another brutal Chop! And another! And finally a stiff Uppercut to the jaw! Barely standing, Phoenix is sent running across the ring. But using his insane speed, Phoenix catches him with a Handspring Pele Kick in an instant! This brings the fans alive as Jacob falls to a knee! Phoenix gets up and connects with several Shoot Kicks across the chest! But then Jacob blocks and grabs his leg! He gets up and throws it aside… only for Phoenix to follow up with a Dragon Whip to his head! Jacob does a 180 spin in a daze! Phoenix gets up, wraps his foot around his ankle, and hits a Russian Leg Sweep! He bounces back to his feet then followed up with a Standing Moonsault! Phoenix makes the cover

…..

And Jacob immediately launches Phoenix in the air!

Jay: "Jazz! Did you see the way Jacob just launched Phoenix off of him!? All that offense from Phoenix, and that didn't even last a one count!"

Jazz: "I don't think Phoenix is too caught up in that, Jay! Because Phoenix didn't go down!"

True to what Jazz said, Phoenix flies in the air and lands down on his feet! And before Jacob could crawl up, Phoenix drops down, grabs the arm, and applies the Fujiwara Armbar! Jacob struggles a bit then rolls on his back. The crowd watches with bated breath as Jacob gets to his feet, deadlifts Phoenix, and Powerbombs him on the canvas! Jacob stretches out arm to relieve the pain as Phoenix lays motionless. Uso then lifts his deadweight opponent and hits a Single German Suplex! Then a Double! And goes for a Triple, but Phoenix counters with a Wheelbarrow Victory Roll!

1!

….

2!

…KICKOUT!

Both men roll up as Jacob throws out a Clothesline! But Phoenix ducks and sprints across! He ducks past Jacob while gaining more speed! But then Jacob starts running behind him! Phoenix stops, turns around, and gets hit with a Hurricanrana! This sends Phoenix rolling out to the apron! As he pulls himself up, Jacob sprints across! And he eats another Soccer Kick! Phoenix goes to Springboard, but Jacob BLASTS him with a Superkick! And Phoenix lands back down on the apron, barely holding on! Jacob then runs across and leaps over the ropes & over Phoenix!He grabs the legs before landing on the outside, looking for Total Takeover (Sunset Flip into a Deadlift Powerbomb)! But Phoenix backflips off the apron to the floor! Jacob charges at him, but Phoenix ducks and runs back in. He sprints across at full speed and rushes for the Tope Suicida! But Jacob rolls in and throws Phoenix between the ropes. He lands on the floor but rolls back up to his feet. He turns around, Jacob is sprinting across the rings… and DIVES OVER THE ROPES WITH THE FOSBURY FLOP ON PHOENIX!

Jazz: "GOOD LORD!"

Jay: "You gotta be kidding me! He's insane, Jazz! Jacob Uso is insane! I cannot believe what I just saw! A man that size flying in the air like a Cruiserweight!"

Jazz: "Jacob Uso throwing caution out the door against Phoenix! With no regard for his own life or anyone else's!"

Jay: "And I bet you Legacy are LOVING everything that's happening right now!"

The crowd is going nuts! "HOLY SHIT" chants ring across the arena! Jacob tunes them out as he gets up and grabs Phoenix's limp body. He rolls him back in before getting on the apron. Aming for Phoenix, he leaps on the ropes for Day One (Springboard 450)... But Phoenix rolls out the way and Jacob crashes down on the canvas! He stumbles up while holding his midsection! Phoenix runs to his feet, leaps at Jacob, and BLASTS him with a Mushroom Stomp on the chest! He collapses on top of Jacob for the pin!

1!

….

2!

…KICKOUT!

Jazz: "A stomp that would put most men through the canvas only got a two count! And these fans are loving every second of it!"

Jay: "This is ICW, Jazz! They are throwing everything they can at each other just to come out on top!"

The crowd really came alive for the action in the match! Phoenix lifts Jacob and hits a LOUD Overhand Chop! Jacob just brushes off and responds with an Uppercut, knocking Phoenix against the ropes! Phoenix goes back and chops him HARD again! But Jacob simply Uppercuts Phoenix again to the ropes! He Irish Whip Phoenix across, and Phoenix latches on the ropes. Seeing him stop, Jacob runs at him and gets sent between the middle ropes. He lands on the apron and gets up… just as Phoenix hits him with a Slingshot Reverse Frankensteiner RIGHT on the apron! Jacob immediately collapses to the floor! He goes to stand, clutching his head, and sees Phoenix springboard into a Shooting Star Press! And he crashes RIGHT on The Forgotten Son!

Jazz: "Phoenix takes to the skies! He will not be outdone and proves that he can get a little reckless as well!"

Jay: "You talk about recklessness, Jazz! He nearly crashed onto me!"

Phoenix leaps on the table and poses to a big pop!

He then grabs Jacob and rolls him back in. Jacob slowly crawls to his feet just as Phoenix climbs on the apron. As he turns to face Phoenix, "The Bird of War" leaps on the ropes and attempts the Blaze of Glory (Springboard Paydirt)- JACOB HITS DOWN SIX (Diving Superman Punch) IN MID AIR! The crowd pops up in shock as Jacob collapses on top of Phoenix!

1!

…..

2!

…..

thr-KICKOUT!

Phoenix BARELY gets the shoulder up, causing the fans to go NUTS!

Jay: "WHAT!? A two count!? I thought that was over for Phoenix! He legit got punched out of the air!"

Jazz: "Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth! Both these guys are digging into their bag of moves! Remember, Phoenix was not expecting to fight Jacob Uso tonight, but they're doing everything they can to keep one of these two down for good!"

Jay: "Something's gotta give!"

"This Is Awesome" chants break out across the arena! But a pissed off Jacob grabs Phoenix's head and headbutts him repeatedly! He then forces Phoenix up and throws him to the ropes. Looking for the Pop Up Samoan Drop, Jacob pops Phoenix on the shoulders… and Phoenix counters with a Crucifix Bomb! Jacob rolls to his knees, clutching his neck! Phoenix crawls up, sprints, and hits the Handspring Cutter! The crowd REALLY starts to come alive as Phoenix rolls up and leaps to the top! With his back turned, he leaps up and goes for his Burn Out (Twisting Phoenix Splash)! But Jacob rolls away! Phoenix rolls back to his feet, but Jacob lifts him and hits Down Six! Phoenix goes down HARD! Wasting little time, Jacob slides back on the apron! He leaps up.. and connects with a brutal Day One! Jacob hooks both legs!

1!

…..

2!

….

3!

"Here is your winner: JACOB USO!"

Jazz: "Jacob just scored a MASSIVE win over Phoenix! And possibly sent a message from to Raptor."

Jay: "More importantly, Legacy have just scored HUGE with this one! Uso overwhelmed Phoenix from the start, and there wasn't much The Bird of War could do to fight back!"

Jazz: "You hush! Phoenix wanted to fight Helmsley who cowarded out and tricked him into fighting Jacob! And THEN hit a cheapshot behind his back!"

Jacob gets up and moves the referee away when he tries to raise his arm. Garza & Aguayo return back to ringside and go to check on Phoenix. Jacob wasn't interested in this anymore and left the ring. While they check on Phoenix, Legacy soon appears on the titantron, clapping in a mocking tempo.

Christopher: "Well done, Phoenix! That was great! Thank you for proving my point that NONE of you are worth anything anymore! Legacy is the past, present, and future of wrestling! We are the game changers… and it's time to bring this game to an end once-and-for-all! And I can't think of a better place than Philadelphia! ICW Apocalypse, Legacy versus La Rebelion!"

Rey picks up the mic and faces them on the stage.

Rey: "I'm sick of you three running your silver tongue mouths! Y'all wanna fight at Apocalypse!? YOU'RE ON! And when we see y'all putas in Philly, we're stomping our boots through all three of y'alls heads!"

The crowd pops as Jesus helps Phoenix up. Phoenix barely moves on his own but points at Legacy, and especially at Helmsley.

Jazz: "There it is! Legacy VS La Rebelion for ICW Apocalypse! It all comes to a head in Philly!"

Jay: "La Rebelion just signed their own death warrants, Jazz! Since Legacy showed up, La Rebelion hasn't been able to do anything against them! This is where Alexis's group of hoodrats gets pushed out of ICW for good!"

Jazz: "Or maybe this is where La Rebelion finally gets a measure of revenge and shuts up Helmsley & Legacy! Still to come tonight, Trey Gold faces off against his new opponent, Mark Jacobs! And can Jason Sabre find a partner in time for the main event against the team of Ced & DJ Kingston? All that and more still to come tonight!"

The screen cuts to the office of Evan Neal. Inside, Neal sat at his desk. He looks at the portrait, his hands folded over his face.

Neal: "Fix this, Neal." He mumbles mockingly. "Fix this Neal! Do this Neal. Do that, Neal. Or imma force Azriel on you!"

He narrows his eyes.

Neal: "Who does she think she is?" He asks no one. "She doesn't run this show by herself. I have power here, too. I have authority! Trell didn't make me her errand boy, and I'm sick of being treated like I am one! I should be respected! Everyone should respect me! If I hear one more person disrespects me and my position-"

?: "Uhhh…hello?"

Neal: "WHAT!"

Neal looks towards his door with an angered expression…Only to see Spring Tigress standing there awkwardly.

Tigress: "Are you…talking to yourself?"

Neal's anger immediately subsided as he regained his composure.

Neal: "A-hem… I do apologize about that. I didn't realize you were standing there. How can I assist you?"

Tigress: "Oh! I was actually looking for Ms. Espinoza about getting a match against Katarina Love now that I'm healed up. I thought this was her office."

Evan's eye starts twitching.

Neal: "...No. This is not her office. This is my office. And you do realize I can make matches as well, right?"

Tigress: "Really? I thought you were her secretary or something. That's what I've been told, at least."

Time froze for Neal in that moment, as his smile vanished, and that rage boils over.

Neal: "Secretary… You thought I was her SECRETARY!?"

Tigress: "Well, I mean-"

Neal: "Let me tell you something, MISSY! I have just as much POWER as SHE does! I can make whatever match I want just like SHE can! And I'll show you: You want Katarina Love? YOU GOT HER!"

Tigress: "Really? Wow thanks-"

Neal: He storms to his feet. "AND MEDUSA! And just because I can, AYAKO SUZUKI! Three-On-One Handicap- no. TORNADO HANDICAP MATCH!"

Tigress: "Are you serious!?" That's unfair-"

Neal: "NOW you know the kind of power I have in ICW!" He points behind her. "Now GET OUT!"

Tigress looked offended, but she silently turned and walked away, mumbling 'At least I get Katarina….' Evan slumps down back at his desk as the screen fades.

The screen cuts backstage near the exit. The door opens, and in walks the Wayne Bros, sporting neon suit jackets & pants with their t-shirt and sneakers. They take a deep breath and walk down the hall… Until they're stopped by Alexis Espinoza, who appeared much calmer than earlier.

Espinoza: "Welcome back, gentlemen. Glad to have you two join us again."

Derrick and Devin each smile and shake her hand.

Devin: "Thank you, ma'am. Again, we really appreciate the time off you granted us. We needed our minds cleared, and now we're ready to start the climb back up."

Espinoza: "Good. That's the attitudes I expect to see-"

?: "Well, well, well!"

A condescending voice interrupts the three of them. The camera pans over as Alexander Magnus walks up to them.

Alexander: "I do apologize for the interruption, Ms. Espinoza. But I noticed a pest infestation has made its return to your company. Because these two are mere children not worthy of our time nor anyone else's. And yet even as you were rid of them, they somehow come crawling back, more pathetic than ever. But I do implore you to not waste your time with children past their bedtimes, and look towards a tag team that will lead ICW to the promised lands. A team such as Sovereignty!"

Alexis was about to speak…until Derrick steps in.

Derrick: "Time out, man. You're really standing there, telling her to take you seriously? Over us? Don't forget the fact that we beat you and La Familia at the same time! We were champions, which automatically puts us on a higher pedestal than Sobriety over here."

Devin: "Yeah, we struggled. But people still remember us. People like Espinoza remember us. All Sovereignty is ever good for is remembering that your buddy wears a basketball jersey for a living. We ain't that type of duo that's gonna be pushed around. Not anymore. So why don't you put your hands behind your backs and move your ass somewhere else!"

This nearly sets Alexander off. He cracks his neck… and steps to the side as Rodri Montoya walks up to Magnus, towering over everyone else.

Rodri: "¡Si nos vuelves a insultar, te aplastaré!"

But before anyone could make a move, Alexis finally steps back in between the four.

Espinoza: "¡Cállate!" All of them stop. "Tonight is not the night I want to deal with arguments. We all know the ring is where we settle disputes. Next week, Wayne Bros versus Sovereignty. And we'll see who's better than who!" She looks directly at Rodri. "No me decepciones. ¡Ahora vete!"

Sovereignty looks at Alexis, then back at the Wayne Bros, and finally walks away. Derrick and Devin watch them leave with smirks on their faces.

((Ad Break))

Subject #1: Jason Malice

The monitor flips on. We see the lights in the room flicks on, causing Jason Malice to open his eyes. Malice blinks a few times to adjust to the brightness. He looks around and finds himself in what looks to be an interrogation room. He looks around, finding himself sitting alone with nothing but a table and a one way window facing him. As he looks around, a voice begins to fill the room. A voice belonging to Salem Erebus.

Salem: "Hello, Jason Malice."

Malice: He cautiously looks around. "...Salem."

Salem: "How are you feeling?"

Malice: "...I feel sore. Tired. Hungry…"

Salem: "What else?"

Malice: "...I feel stronger. More powerful."

Salem: "Very good. You've made improvements to what you can do."

Malice: "Thanks…"

Salem: "Now tell me…who are you?"

Malice: He looks up with a raised eyebrow. "What?"

Salem: "Who are you?"

Malice: "I'm Jason Mali-"

Salem: "No. Who are you?"

Malice: "You want my real name? I'm Jason Du-"

Salem: "No! Who are YOU!"

Malice: He looks around confused. "I don't understand! I don't know!"

Salem: "Exactly. You don't know… do you?"

Malice goes quiet. After a moment, he looks down at the table. But the silence spoke many words to Salem.

Salem: "No one knows who you are. No one fears you. No one likes you. No one hates you. In the eyes of the beholder, you don't exist to anyone. You are Nothing. A wandering lost soul with no place in this world..."

Malice looks down at his hands, again saying nothing. And the silence spoke a powerful message to Salem.

Salem: "Except to us." This gets Malice to lift his head up as Salem's voice softens. "We see you, Malice. You do exist. You do have an identity. But not as who you once were. You are something more sinister… more violent. Yet more noble. More loyal to our mission of protecting ICW."

Malice: "...I want to help. I want to break out. I want to bring hope to ICW… with fear and violence."

Salem: "You want to help ICW. Yet this world cares not for you and your actions."

Malice: "I want to help-"

Salem: "Do you?"

Malice: "I want to be seen… To help ICW… and to be remembered."

Salem: "What are you willing to lose?"

Malice: "Everything!"

Salem: "Including yourself?"

Malice: "I DON'T EXIST!" He slams his fists on the table aggressively.

There was a long silence as Jason took several deep breaths.

Salem: "A man not seen will not be remembered. Lose yourself… and become a weapon of R.O.G.U.E"

Malice: "...I will lose myself."

Salem: "Let me ask you again… Who are you?"

Malice looks up at the mirror. His eyes losing all the brightness in his reflection

Malice: "I… am a weapon."

He looks dead at the camera.

Malice: "I am a weapon for R.O.G.U.E"

Jason looks back down. The monitor shuts off. Everything stays black.

We cut back to commentary.

Jay: "Okay, Jazz. Help me out. Because what the hell is R.O.G.U.E!?"

Jazz; "Jay I'm just as clueless about this as you are. We saw small glimpses of R.O.G.U.E across our shows, including Training Ground. And after what Ms. Espinoza saw when she visited their… uhhh… training facility? It just leaves so much more questions!"

Jay: "Biggest one being what their goal is in ICW."

Jazz: "We'll have to wait and see what they have in store. But right now, let's get right back to the action!"

The crowd boos once Loaded Lean (by Lil' Loaded) plays. The lights went out as the screen was slowly covered in gold. Once the whole screen is gold, the words "TREY GOLD" appear in black cursive writing! And a gold spotlight shines down on Trey himself. He walks down, showing his egotistical smirk as Elijah Holiday follows behind. Trey makes it to the ring, walks up the steps and hops inside. He does a moving bow before coming back up and spreading his arms out like an eagle.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Elijah Holiday & representing Holiday Promotions, from New York City, standing 5'9" & weighing in at 208lbs: 'The Golden Child' TREY GOLD!"

Jazz: "Holiday Promotions have to be all smiles after attacking Jason Sabre earlier. But now they're walking into uncertain territory since his original opponent, Will Ralston, was attacked and declared too injured to compete tonight."

Jay: "I have my sources that told me how little difference the change made for Trey Gold. And honestly I don't blame him! His first match was in the main event with Jason last week, and he pushed him to the limit! And instead of facing a former Heavyweight Champion, he now gets to face the champion himself! There's a reason he's touted as the Gold Standard of Holiday Promotions!"

Jazz: "His grand moments always turn into him getting embarrassed. First was Luke Gray & MPI, then he was on the receiving end of one of the most viral Final Blows online, and now he has to deal with a very bitter Mark Jacobs."

As Trey removes his gold chains, jacket, and glasses, Lydia (by Highly Suspect) plays to LOUD boos! Mark walks, or rather, limps out still battered from the attack by DJ. He holds the ICW Heavyweight Title in one hand and the same folder from earlier in another. A lone spotlight follows him as he enters the ring, not in the mood to showboat or gloat.

"And his opponent, from Brooklyn, New York, standing 6ft tall & weighing in at 225lbs, he is the ICW Heavyweight Champion: 'The Bane of Existence' MARK JACOBS!"

Jazz: "Earlier tonight, Mark attacked DJ for payback from Steel City Showdown. But thanks to King Caesar, DJ laid out Mark again. Now he was supposed to be teaming with Sabre against Kingston & Ced. But not only did he refuse, he somehow convinced Ms. Espinoza to take Will's place in this match."

Jay: "Mark must have something special that forced Alexis to put him in this match. Money? Blackmail? Maybe because Alexis knows to stay on her champion's good side?"

Jazz: "HA! Not one bit. She'd rather pay to see him lose everything."

The ref gets ready to start the match… until Mark stops him. He then takes the mic from the announcer

Mark: "Don't ring that bell. Because I have something to say."

The crowd boos Mark just as Elijah and Trey were visibly unhappy. But Mark ignores everyone and picks up his championship, looking deep into it.

Mark: "Everyone around here thinks that they can take what I have. They want to see me as a stepping stone. So imma set the record straight and remind everyone just who the hell I really am! And I plan on doing that…with this."

Mark then hands the folder to Elijah, who takes it and reads it. Everyone looks at him confused. Even Trey…but not Elijah. He was full of shock and awe. He looks up at Mark, who looks stone faced.

Mark: "I'm a man of my word. A deal's a deal." Mark looks at Trey. "Tonight is the luckiest night of your life, kid. Because this match… is now a Heavyweight Title Match!"

Jazz: "EXCUSE ME!?"

Jay: "HE'S DOING WHAT!?"

The crowd was shocked! Trey Gold couldn't believe it! He was beyond excited and amped up! The ref couldn't believe it! But that was until Elijah hands him the folder, which was a Heavyweight Title match signed off by Ms. Espinoza herself! Mark hands the title over to the referee… who nods and holds it up in the air!

Jay: "JAZZ! Did… did I hear right!? HE'S PUTTING WHAT ON THE LINE!?"

Jazz: "You heard him, Jay! I can't believe this either… But it's signed right there in black & white: MARK IS PUTTING THE HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE ON THE LINE RIGHT NOW!"

As the bell rings, Mark walks up to Trey and offers him a handshake. "From one New Yorker to another," he says. "This is a moment you'll never forget!" Trey smiles and shakes his hand… and gets pulled into a Jumping Comatose (Knee Strike)! This nearly knocks out Trey but Mark grabs both of his arms! And he does the Double Wrist Lock Head Stomps right on Trey's skull! Not content, Mark lifts Trey up and BLASTS him with a Standing Comatose!

Jazz: "Mark caught Trey HARD, and now he's ready to pick this kid apart! Limb by limb!"

Jay: "I'm still in shock… this shouldn't be happening, Jazz! What was Mark thinking!?"

Jazz: "We'll it's happening, Jay. Doesn't matter what Mark was thinking before! He needs to focus on this match! Or else we're in for the upset of the century!"

Mark lifts Trey up and dumps him out of the ring. But all this moment made Mark grab his head and nearly fall over. He was still showing fatigue from DJ's attacks. Mark shakes it off and rolls out, grabs Trey up, and runs him around ringside! Elijah moves out of the way as Mark throws Trey HARD into the barricade! Mark lifts him back up and runs across again. And he slams him so hard Trey nearly went through the barricade! Mark drags the broken Gold back up and Chokeslams him on the announce table! He poses with his arms out to more crowd boos!

Jazz: "You can see Mark is still reeling from the attack earlier. Remember, he's not at full strength. In fact, he looks close to passing out right here!"

Mark once again grabs his head and takes a deep breath. Slowing down, he grabs Trey's helpless body and dumps him back in the ring. Mark rolls in and stands over him. He proceeds to kick and Punt him across his face. Mark tells him to "Get up" as he's kicking him around. Trey starts to pull himself up… and he strikes Mark across the chest! But Mark barely registered the attack! The champ chuckles before lifting Trey up and Forearming him across the jaw! Trey falls into the corner, but Mark continues Forearm Trey into a literal coma! He then starts kicking Trey multiple times before choking him with his boot! While choking Trey, Mark looks at a worried Eliah and smirks! The referee starts counting up to four before Mark lets him go. He lifts Trey up top, chopping him for good measure, then climbs up. Mark lifts Trey, hooking the arm for a Superplex… But Trey blocks it! Trey starts to fight back with a flurry of punches! The crowd, surprisingly, began rallying behind Trey! He then cranks back and Headbutts Mark! Mark was in a daze and fell back to the canvas! He stumbles up, clutching his head tight, and Trey hits a Diving Hurricanrana! Mark rolls to the ropes, but Trey gets up, runs, and hits a Crossbody that sends both men over to the floor! Trey was up first, and he rolled back in. Mark was slowly crawling to his feet, but he looks up… and sees Gold hitting a Sky Twister down on him!

Jazz: "Trey Gold Twisting through the skies down on the Bane of Existence! This kid is taking the fight to Mark!"

Jay: "Why wouldn't he!? This is the biggest opportunity Trey Gold has ever received! Even he doesn't know when he'll receive another title opportunity again!"

The crowd comes alive for the dive! But Elijah tells Trey to stay on him! Trey grabs Mark and rolls him back in! Mark clutches his head, extremely slow to get up now! Trey rolls in behind and screams for Mark to get up! As Mark stumbles to his feets, Trey runs… and sidesteps a Jumping Comatose attempt! Mark turns around… AND HE'S HIT WITH THE GOLD RUSH (Running High Knee) ACROSS THE FACE! Mark goes down! The crowd gets to their feet! Trey hooks the leg!

….

…..

thr-KICKOUT!

Jay: "Did Trey get it!? No! Just a two-count!"

Jazz: "Trey needs to stay on Mark! He cannot give him a second to breathe! Not in this impromptu Title Match!"

Jay: "What was Mark thinking!? He's too hurt! He's not at 100%! He could genuinely lose the title right here!"

The crowd groans in disappointment, feeling that was it. But Trey wasn't deterred. He drags up the champion… who breaks away and hits two quick gut punches. The spin kick follows, bending Trey. Mark punts the face, stomps on his foot, and grabs both arms. Mark takes a long pause, shaking off the painful ringing in his head, and goes for another Comatose! But Trey grabs it! He rolls back, sending Mark to the mat, and applies the Golden Finish (Calf Crusher)! The crowd gets loud again, seeing Mark in a dire situation! Mark tries to reach the ropes… but finds he's too far back! Desperate, he grabs Trey's head and bounces it off the canvas multiple times! Trey Gold is laid out cold! And Mark has finally had enough! Stumbling a bit, he grabs Trey and hits more Double Wrist Lock Head Stomps!

Jay: "Oh he's pissed. Mark is pissed off now!"

Jazz: "All the fun and games are over for the Bane of Existence. Now he's gonna make Trey suffer."

Mark lifts Trey and Forearms him HARD across the jaw! Trey slumps forward, barely standing! Mark just grabs him and tosses him through the top & middle ropes! But Trey does a Tiger Feint between the ropes, back in the ring, and HITS THE CROWNING (Spinning Heel Kick) ON MARK!

Jazz: "HE GOT HIM! THE CROWNING! TREY GOT MARK WITH HIS BEST WEAPON!"

Jay: "YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!"

MARK STUMBLES AND GOES DOWN! Trey goes down too! The crowd gets to their feet! Elijah is losing it! He screams at Trey "PIN HIM! PIN HIM! PIN HIM!" Trey weakly crawls over! He hooks the leg!

1!

3!?

The crowd goes NUTS! They couldn't believe it! Elijah couldn't believe it! Trey Gold got the three count over Mark!

Jazz: "TREY DID IT! TREY GOLD WON THE HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE!"

Jay: "WAIT JAZZ! THE REF'S WAVING IT OFF!"

Trey looks up to see the ref waving off bis count! He then turns Mark… and sees his foot on the bottom rope! Trey is beside himself while Elijah is FURIOUS! He gets up and starts arguing with the ref who tells him the foot was on the ropes! Trey shakes his head and begins scaling the top rope! He attempts the Golddigger (Moonstomp), but Mark rolls away! Trey does land on his feet… and turns into a Jumping Comatose! Mark falls to a knee, still holding his head tight. But he gets up, grabs Trey's arms, and Stomps on his face AGAIN! Mark soon draws blood and switches to punching his face repeatedly! The crowd boos as he yanks Trey in the Dragon Mutilator (Dragon Sleeper)! He starts pulling back on his head & neck! And this forces Trey to submit on the spot!

"Here is your winner by submission… and STILL ICW Heavyweight Champion: MARK JACOBS!"

Jazz: "A brutal and vicious way to dash the dreams of Trey Gold! But holy hell, did I think Trey won that match! But Mark's foot was on the ropes, and that momentary distraction cost Trey in the end."

Jay: "That was TOO CLOSE for my comfort, Jazz! Mark risked everything with this move to make it a championship match! Especially after barely getting by Sabre in Pittsburgh!"

Mark lets go and tosses Trey aside. He gets up, but falls back against the ropes. His head was now in serious agony. Mark takes a couple deep breaths as he's presented with his title. Mark takes it and holds it up to boos. He then kneels down at an irritated Elijah. "You and Alexis should've read the fine print: thanks to you and this piece of shit," he points to Trey. "I don't have to defend my title against anyone for as long as I want. There ain't gonna be a hunting season, because none of you are getting a shot. Sabre failed, DJ failed, everyone failed. Especially you, Elijah. I'm the Bane of Existence, and I can't be touched. Pleasure doing business, Elijah."

Jay: "JAZZ! DID YOU HEAR WHAT MARK JUST SAID!? BRILLIANT!"

Jazz: "Oh my God that was his plan all along! Thanks to Steel City and this match, he doesn't have to defend his title anytime soon! He took himself out of the hunt! Even worse, using the stress and chaos to catch Alexis off-guard and making her miss a small detail like that!"

Jay: "HE OUTPLAYED ALEXIS! WHAT A CHAMPION!"

Mark slowly gets up, holding his head. He holds up his title…and then he eats the Creeping Death Running Lariat to the back of the head and neck) from Ced! The crowd boos even more as Ced starts beating on Mark. Elijah enters the ring and tells Ced to beat him down! Tate rolls in and joins in on the assault. Ced picks him up and drops him with the Deathbomb (Fireman's Carry Neckbreaker Slam)!

Jazz: "Ced does NOT look happy right now! I don't know if it's because of Trey getting a title match, him LOSING the said title match, or not getting what he wants thanks to Mark's meddling!"

Jay: "I feel for Ced, Jazz! He's so hungry to be the top man in ICW that he's willing to run everyone over to get his shot!"

Ced picks up the title, looking at it, before dropping it over Mark's chest. He turns and sees Trey holding out his hand. Ced rolls his eyes but does half-heartedly helps Trey out of the ring. Tate goes to leave as well...but stops. He then looks at Mark on the ground. His eyes catch the title… then looks back at Mark… looks at his briefcase… AND QUICKLY HANDS IT TO THE REFEREE!

Jay: "Wait what's he doing? WHAT IS TATE DOING!?"

Jazz: "Oh hold on to everything! It looks like Tate is calling for it! HE'S ABOUT TO USE HIS IMMORTAL OPPORTUNITY!"

THE CROWD STARTS TO COME ALIVE AGAIN! TATE SAYS HE WANTS TO CASH IN! Ced turns around and sees what's going on! He lets Trey fall back down and takes the briefcase before it's official! Tate looks at Ced and asks him what he's doing! Ced tries to tell Tate to wait because he wants first crack at Mark. Tate argues Mark is vulnerable but Ced just tells him to hold off for a while longer until he takes it. Elijah quickly gets in between the two as they debate over who gets the first shot!

But before they can continue, MPI runs down the ring and right for Holiday Promotions! Mark rolls out and limps away as both teams start fighting again… Minus Trey. Elijah then calls for a retreat, and Holiday Promotions all powder out with Ced dragging Trey Gold by his legs.

Jazz: "This… this is getting out of hand! An impromptu match turned into a title match! Mark revealed he played the system only to almost see the Immortal Opportunity be used, there is chaos aplenty!"

Jay: "Not to mention MPI still wanting revenge from last week and earlier today, and you're right, Jazz! Things are breaking down everywhere!"

We cut backstage to Jacob Uso backstage. He's sitting on some crates and removing the wrist tape.

Hannah soon cautiously walks up next to him.

Hannah: "Excuse me, Jacob?"

Jacob glances at Hannah but doesn't say anything.

Hannah: "Amazing win today over Phoenix. But I gotta ask you about what went down in Pittsburgh between you and your cousin-"

Christopher: "My Uce!"

She trails off as the men of Legacy walk in frame. Hannah was about to speak but Sebastian shushes her with his finger on her lips.

Sebastian: "Sorry, hot stuff. Legacy business. Run along now."

Hannah pulls away and walks off. Jacob's attention turns to Helmsley.

Christopher: "What you did to that masked freak tonight… Man that was awesome! But that shouldn't be a surprise. You're just like us: wrestling is in your DNA. You can say it runs deep in your bloodline. And how fitting would it be if you took your rightful place alongside Legacy."

Sebastian pulls out a custom Legacy t-shirt and hands it to Jacob. He takes it and looks it over.

Christopher: "The Helmsleys, the Flairs, the Michaels, Rhodes, Bordens, the lines of Big Vans, and now the Anoa'i-"

At that moment, Jacob shoves the shirt back against Helmsley. This catches them off-guard. And he looks at Christopher bitterly.

Jacob: "If I don't give a damn about my own family… then what makes you believe I give a damn about anyone else's? We had a deal. I held up my end, so y'all hold up yours and take out Raptor."

With that, Jacob walked away. Sebastian & Dozer were not too happy, but Christopher reassured them. He leads them away as the screen fades.

((Ad Break))

The screen opens back to ringside.

Ike! Tiger Mask (by Shonan no Kaze) plays. And out crawls Spring Tigress onto the stage. She rises up and poses to a light pop before heading to the ring. She slides in, climbs up, and poses again and lets out a roar!

"The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is a Three-On-One Handicap Tornado Tag Team Match! Introducing first, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: 'The Wildcat' SPRING TIGRESS!"

Jazz: "Now this match… You talk about being so petty about being called a secretary that you make a Three-On-One Handicap Match?"

Jay: "Mr. Neal is setting an example that he is just as much in charge as Alexis Espinoza is! Sorry to that poor girl, but this should be a lesson to everyone else! Besides, she wanted Katarina Love and she got Katarina Love!"

7 Rings (by Ariana Grande) plays a chorus of boos! The arena turns dark and a single spotlight shines on to the stage. And out struts Katarina with a huge cocky grin, followed by MEDUSA who folds her arms stoically. They head down to the ring together before entering the ring. They see Tigress crouched against the corner and get annoyed.

"Introducing her opponents! First, from Moscow, Russia: 'The Russian Gorgon' MEDUSA! And her partner, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: KATARINA LOVE!"

Jazz: "It's one thing to get your hands on someone. But she has to deal with an old foe in MEDUSA! And you know she's gonna be looking for some revenge of her own"

Jay: "I think it's good to face all adversity! Might as well get them out of the way at once so that there's nothing left to worry about!"

As Tigress stares down the two women she doesn't like, King & Ashley (by My First Story) plays! The lights cut off as the Bōryoku logo appears on the screen. As the song ramps up, the stage lights begin to flash purple & white. And out walks Ayako on stage and down the ramp. She removes her Bōryoku face mask and stares at all three women from ringside.

"And their partner, representing Bōryoku, from Kanagawa, Japan: 'The Princess of Pancrase' AYAKO SUZUKI!"

Jazz: "Oh, let's not forget Ayako Suzuki, who has to be in the WORST mood after having her in-ring debut alongside Bōryoku ruined by Alexis Guerrero & La Familia back in Pittsburgh! All of this… thrown directly at Spring Tigress!"

Jay: "...Okay look, Tigress crossed the boss, and this is her punishment. She should be careful to not label somebody something they don't identify as!"

Jazz: "You are ridiculous, Jay…"

As Tigress stares down Ayako, she is immediately jumped by Katarina! The bell rings as MEDUSA joins in on the attack! MEDUSA holds her up by the arms as Katarina punches away at her Tiger face!

Jazz: "Oh come on! This is turning into a mugging! How is this fair!?"

Jay: "Spring Tigress made the mistake of keeping her focus on Ayako instead of Katarina & MEDUSA. And they're looking for an early advantage."

Jazz: "Early advantage!? IT'S 3-ON-1!"

Jay: "A masked wrestler counts for two people! And she may be crazy enough to have a third!"

Katarina looks at Ayako who starts pacing around the ring. Katarina shrugs and grabs Tigress. She & MEDUSA attempts a Double Back Drop, but "The Wildcat" flips back on her feet. They turn, and she hits a Double Dropkick to both of them! MEDUSA is up first and runs at her. Tigress ducks and hits a Tiger Suplex! Katarina gets up, and Tigress hits her with a Tiger Suplex as well! Both of them crawl up, and Tigress hits them both with Northern Lights Suplexes! Tigress does a Kip Up and points to the sky to a good pop!

Jazz: "The Wildcat is beginning to show some fire tonight. It's not easy trying to fight off a technical force in MEDUSA and a veteran powerhouse in Katarina."

Jay: "And then there's Ayako. Possibly waiting to see how this plays out."

Katarina stumbles to her feet. Tigress kicks her gut and goes for the Tiger Driver! But MEDUSA gets up and Clotheslines her! She helps Katarina back up, and Katarina boots Tigress just as she was rising up as well! Tigress is laid out, and Katarina starts beating her down again! MEDUSA tells Katarina to step back cause she's gonna throw her! Katarina smirks and steps back with her arms out, ready to catch. MEDUSA deadlift Tigress in the Gutwrench and does a Gutwrench Powerbomb Throw into Love! Love catches her and goes for a German Suplex… But Tigress flips behind her! She shoves Katarina into MEDUSA who falls out the ring! Katarina turns and eats an Enziguri before falling out next to MEDUSA! As they get up, Tigress runs across and hits both of them with a Tope Suicida! The crowd cheers again as she rolls Katarina back in the ring. She scales up top, signaling for the Spring Cleaning (Eclipse)... until Ayako gets on the apron and grabs her! She hits a HARD Forearm Smash to the face, knocking her back down in the ring!

Jazz: "Oh no… Ayako is finally entering the match!"

Jay: "She just knocked out Tigress with one shot!"

Ayako steps in and lifts Tigress by the mask. Tigress tries to swing at her, but Ayako ducks and unleashes a wave of slaps and punches. Ayako then yanks her by the head, bends her down, and brutally punts her across the face multiple times! She then twists the arm and BLASTS her with Fujin's Blade (Riott Kick)! The crowd really starts booing her! Katarina and MEDUSA tries to get involved, but one angry look from Ayako made them back away and leave her to it. Ayako looks down at the poor girl before trapping the arms and hitting multiple nasty Elbow Strikes to the jaw!

Jazz: "Oh god Ayako is taking out all her frustrations on poor Tigress!"

Jay: "Katarina & MEDUSA don't even have to do anything! Ayako is tearing this cat limb from limb!"

The crowd looks uneasy as Ayako pummels Tigress! She then lifts The Wildcat up and puts in the Rear Naked Choke! Tigress weakly lifts her arms to reach out for something. But it didn't take long for her body to go limp. The referee checks on her, sees she wasn't responding, and was about to call for the bell! But Ayako lets go at the last minute. Sn spins her around, hooks the arms, and plants her with the Hime-Driver (Cross Armed Piledriver)! Ayako puts a foot on Tigress's gut.

"Here are your winners: KATARINA LOVE, MEDUSA, & AYAKO SUZUKI!"

Jazz: "These three ladies may have gotten the win, but wow what an unfair situation Spring Tigress was put in!"

Jay: "Spring Tigress should take this as a learning experience not to get on Mr. Neal's bad side!"

Ayako removes her foot as Katarina & MEDUSA walks up to her. Ayako slowly turns and looks at them… and points to Spring Tigress! The duo smiles and lifts up Tigress again! Ayako then continues her vicious assault to more boos… which then turns to cheers when I Like It (by Cardi B) plays! All three of them look up as Alexis Guerrero sprints out to the ring carrying a steel chair!

Jazz: "Looks like Tigress has some backup in Alexis Guerrero! And she's come for a fight!"

Jay: "Leave it to Guerreros to stick their nose in other people's business!"

Ayako slides out as she goes in on the other two, swinging the chair back and forth over their bodies! Katarina & MEDUSA slide out as well as Ayako stares down Alexis in the ring! The crowd was on fire for "The Lucha Baddie," who pointed the chair back at Ayako! She helps the battered & bruised Tigress back to her feet. "The Wildcat" could barely stand but did raise Alexis's hand to a nice cheer.

Jazz: "Alexis may have come to the aid of Spring Tigress, but best believe she has her eyes squarely on Ayako & the rest of Bōryoku!"

Jay: "Ayako will not let this slide, that's for sure. She knows how to hold grudges, and all of Bōryoku will be hunting down La Familia until there's no Guerreros left!"

Jazz: "We're gonna turn things over to Hannah, backstage with a very special guest!"

The screen cuts backstage to Hannah outside the infirmary.

Hannah: "Ladies & gentlemen, please welcome at this time: Jason Sabre!"

Jason walks out of the infirmary, dressed to compete.

Hannah: "First things first, how are you feeling, Ace?"

Jason: "I'm gonna be honest to everyone, I'm not 100%. But guess what? I'm still standing, and as long as I'm still standing, nobody will get rid of me that easily!"

Hannah: "And I think I speak for the fans when we say we're glad to hear that. To recap tonight's event: we watched as you were attacked by Holiday Promotions upon your arrival. And while you were being looked over, a tag team match was made for tonight's main event… Ced and DJ Kingston against yourself… And Mark Jacobs. However-"

Jason: "However, Mark weaseled his way out by defending his own title earlier on." He smirks. "I wanna comment on that for a moment. Mark, congrats on defending your title, but I ain't Trey Gold! You know I had you beat in Pittsburgh! And no matter how many times you defend against other people, and regardless of who wants a shot at you, the biggest threat to your championship reign is the one standing before you now! Nothing and no one will stop me from taking the Heavyweight Title off of your shoulders!"

Hannah: "I do want to ask about tonight. Due to Mark taking himself out of the match, you're left without a partner. Even Mason Rivers is nowhere to be seen."

Jason: "If he wasn't in catering, then he's not here." He sighs. "But that's alright. At the end of the day, this is still my fight, and my fight alone. It doesn't matter that I'm alone because I got two fists for both of them. Tonight, I'm punching both of them in the face, then I'm moving on to Mark and… the Heavyweight…"

Sabre goes silent as Ava Knight & Sai Russo suddenly walk over. She looks at Jason and just gives a smirk before leaving. Sai then walks up to Sabre. He tilts his glasses… and looks him in the eyes. Ten…twenty…thirty seconds passed… and Sai then tilted them back up and left. Jason sighs and shakes his head.

Jason: "Revolution is seriously getting on my nerves."

With that, Sabre walks off from Hannah as the screen fades.

((Ad Break))

We cut back to commentary.

Jazz: "It's been a heck of a show so far as we inch closer to Philadelphia and ICW Apocalypse. I can confirm that the match is on: Legacy and La Rebelion will go head-to-head in Philly! But right now, it's Main Event Time!"

The arena lights flash around in a different array of colors as the instrumental to Icon (by Jaden Smith) plays. Smoke comes up onto the stage as Ced walks out, to a chorus of boos, staring down at the ground. After a few seconds, Ced looks up and spits water out in a mist as he then makes his way down the ramp. Once Ced reaches ringside, he stops to take a look at the boos before making his way to the steps. He walks up the steps, making his way to the corner, and climbs up. Ced then poses to more boos.

"The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, representing Holiday Promotions, from Charlotte, North Carolina, standing 6'3" & weighing 265 lbs: 'The Black Leone' CED!"

Jazz: "You can tell on Ced's face that he does not want this match. And despite an impressive win against Koji on Training Ground, he isn't even invested in Holiday Promotion's battle with MPI. All he wants is the Heavyweight Championship."

Jay: "Ced & Holiday Promotions are in a bitter mood tonight. Elijah got outplayed, Trey lost his shot at the title, Ced stopped Tate from using his Immortal Opportunity because he wants a crack at Mark, and then MPI keeps showing up to attack them! Elijah is tending to Trey & Tate, so he entrusted Ced to handle business in this match!"

Ghetto Symphony (by A$AP Rocky) plays to LOUDER boos. DJ walks out for the second night with a spotlight shining down on him. DJ walks down the ramp and leaps on the apron. He leaps in the ring and lands in a kneeling position in the middle of the ring. DJ arms spread as he soaks in the chorus of LOUD boos. DJ gets up and glances at Ced, who did not look to please with this. But DJ's expression was the same, not feeling too thrilled about teaming up.

"His tag team partner, representing Generation M, from Honolulu, Hawaii, standing 5'11" & weighing 225 lbs: 'The Astonishing One' D! J! KINGSTON!"

Jazz: "I don't gamble, but it's a safe bet that Kingston isn't thrilled about teaming up with Ced either. For the sole fact that all he wants is what Ced wants: and that's Mark's Title!"

Jay: "He feels justified, Jazz! And I can't help but kinda agree with him! The officiating by Natalia at Unbreakable was shoddy at best, and downright biased at worst! He was robbed of that title match, and he wants it more than anyone. Besides, I know he & Ced would love nothing more than to beat up Jason!"

As DJ & Ced stare at each other, the beginning instrumentals to Weight of My Pride (by Pay Money to my Pain) plays to an OVERWHELMING ovation! The left lights change to blue and the right to black. As we near the lyrics, smoke shoots up from the sides of the stage and Jason Sabre appears to a BIG pop! Jason, who normally poses and gets the crowd hyped, was in no mood to showboat. He limps down to the ring, not at 100% but full of grit and determination, and steps between the ropes. He does climb up and put the gun up to give something the crowd can cheer for.

"Introducing their opponent first, from Los Angeles, California, standing 6'1" & weighing 235lbs: 'The Ace of Pro Wrestling' JASON SABRE!"

Jazz: "Jason Sabre has overcome many odds, but this one feels especially cruel. He was attacked by DJ at Steel City Showdown, he was jumped by Holiday Promotions early in the night, and his original partner decided to defend his title just to keep everyone else away from him! Physically, there's no way he's 100%. But he's The Ace for a reason: he never backs down from a fight!"

Jay: "He's outnumbered, out gunned, and out of his mind if he thinks he can surpass this! He's hurt, Jazz! He's all alone! He was too busy healing up to find anyone to team with! Especially two men who are itching to finish what they started! He's done for!"

DJ and Ced smirks as the referee asks him about his opponent. Sabre, without skipping a beat, says "I'm fighting alone." The referee asks if he's sure. The crowd responds with "GO ACE" chants. Jason looks at the fanbase and says "I'll handle this." The referee nods while DJ & Ced shake their heads and crack their knuckles. The ref calls for the bell…

And the arena lights cut out!

Jazz: "Uh-oh…"

Jay: "Now what!?"

The crowd gets excited over what this could mean! And then… they hear it: Hail To The King (by Avenged Sevenfold) plays!

Jay: "...Jazz. Is that-"

Jazz: "No. No way…"

The crowd goes CRAZY! Fire immediately shoots up from the stage, heralding the arrival. Dim, midnight lights shine inside the Erwin center. Everyone looks to the stage in a state of confusion. And through the fire… appears Azriel!

Jazz: "IT'S AZRIEL! AZRIEL HAS ARRIVED!"

Jay: "WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE!?"

Azriel walks down the ramp, cold and methodic, as the crowd screams "HAIL TO THE KIIIIING!" The three men in the ring watched as Azriel stood ringside, looking over all three of them. He then walks up the steps… and stands in Sabres corner! The crowd chants "YES!" knowing what this means! The referee didn't bother to ask while Ced & DJ were beside themselves!

Jazz: "The Ace has a tag partner… and it's none other than AZRIEL!"

Jay: "HE CAN'T DO THAT! THERE'S NO WAY… RIGHT!? WHY WOULD HE-"

Jazz: "You wanna question Azriel!?"

Jay: "W-Well…uhhh"

Jazz: "That's what I thought! And neither does the referee! Because he's allowing it!"

The lights come back on as the ref looks at Azriel. The crowd are losing their MINDS. AAzriel stares back at the ref… who nods and starts the match!

Sabre looks at Azriel, still confused about why he's here and teaming! But then DJ attacks Jason from behind and stomps down on him! The crowd HATED this and showers him with major boos! Kingston looks back at Azriel. Azriel stares at DJ, who felt a chill down his spine. So he turns away and grabs Jason. But the Ace pops back up and smacks DJ across the face to a big pop! Jason then Uppercuts DJ against the ropes and runs at him. Kingston blocks with a kick to the face, however. But before he could follow up, Ced gets a blind tag! This catches DJ off guard as he enters and Clotheslines Jason! Ced looks back at DJ and says "I'll handle this!" DJ did not hide his bitterness but did leave the ring. Ced then lifts Jason and hits a Scoop Slam. He follows up by running the ropes and hitting a Jumping Knee Drop! He covers.

1!

….

2! KICKOUT!

Jazz: "The Scoop Slam & Knee Drop to the face earns just a two. And it looks like DJ doesn't seem all too thrilled with Ced."

Jay: "I'm sorry, Jazz. But I can't get over the fact that SABRE IS TEAMING WITH FREAKIN AZRIEL OF ALL PEOPLE!"

Ced pulls Jason to his feet. He takes Sabre and does a Vertical Lift in the air. Ced shows off his power when he carries Jason around while holding him upside down. But when Ced meets Azriel's gaze, he freezes! Jason takes the opportunity to fight out and lands behind! He grabs Ced by the neck and hits the Inverted Backbreaker! The crowd starts to come alive! But Jason looks at Azriel and asks "Are you just gonna stand there and watch?!" Azriel doesn't respond. He just stands there… menacingly! Jason turns back to Ced and attempts the Double Underhook Backbreaker. But Ced fights back and counters with a Back Body Drop! Thankfully Jason lands on his feet. He turns and Forearms Ced before running and punching DJ off the apron! The crowd started cheering… but then Ced stuns Jason with a High Knee Lift! And the cheers go silent! He then lifts up Sabre and hits a Vertical Suplex! As Ced gets up, DJ gets back on the apron and gets a blind tag of his own! Ced turns in surprise as DJ leaps & hits a Springboard 450 Splash! He hooks the leg

1!

…..

2!

..KICKOUT!

DJ isn't too thrilled that Jason kicked out. He picks up Jason again … Until Ced grabs DJ and spins him around! The crowd gasps as Ced starts questioning him! He goes off on Kingston, telling him to follow his lead! But DJ fires back by saying he's the one handling Jason and calling Ced the backup!

Jazz: "Looks like communication is starting to break down between Ced & DJ! They can't agree on who leads & who follows!"

Jay: "This is NOT the time to be arguing when up against Jason & Azriel!"

As they argue, Jason starts to get up! He walks over, turns DJ around, and punches him in the face to a big pop! He then punches Ced in the face to a big pop! Jason goes back and forth punching each of them in the face, and the crowd loves every punch thrown! DJ falls back against the corner just as Ced knees Jason in the gut. He tries to dump him out, but Jason counters and dumps Ced over the ropes and to the floor! DJ charges… and gets Back Body Dropped over and onto Ced! Both guys slowly pull themselves up. When they do, they turn around to see Jason on the top rope! And The Ace hits both of them with Diving Crossbodies!

Jazz: "The Ace takes to the skies and wipes out both men! Even at half health, Sabre still has enough fight left in him!"

Jay: "He took advantage of the situation and made the most of it! But how long can he actually keep this up for?"

Jason grabs Ced and throws him over the announce table! He then grabs DJ and bounces his head off the apron before rolling him in. Jason slides in and, as DJ stumbles up, runs and hits the Slingblade! Sabre starts getting the crowd amped up! Jason grabd DJ and looks back at Azriel… who still hasn't moved an inch! Jason turns back and looks for the Hallow Point (Sitout Tombstone Piledriver) on DJ. But DJ starts to fight out and falls behind. He stumbles back against the corner, so Sabre runs at him. But DJ blocks with a kick that knocks him back! Ced gets a blind tag as DJ goes for the Rolling Thunder… and Jason knocks him out the air with the Greatest Dropkick Ever!

Ced is getting super annoyed! He looks at DJ and says they need to focus on the real problem: Jason Sabre! DJ nods and they start to double team him!

Jay: "Now THAT'S more like it! Ced & DJ finally realizing the common enemy and are working together!"

Jazz: "It's a mugging on Jason, just like Pittsburgh and earlier today!"

The crowd was now booing them out of the arena! Ced & DJ picks up Jason and Whips him to the ropes. DJ drops down as Ced hits a Double C Spinebuster! DJ gets up and follows with the Lionsault to Jason! He slides out as Ced makes the cover again.

The crowd tries to rally behind Jason… and even chant for Azriel! Ced picks Sabre back up and tags DJ back in. Ced throws him in the corner and they both stomp down on him! DJ then tells Ced to lift him up, and Ced lifts Jason on his shoulders. As DJ scales to the top, Jason starts fighting back! He breaks free from Ced, landing behind, and shoves him into DJ! DJ slips and falls Crotch first on the top corner! Ced turns around and eats a Superkick, knocking him to his hands & knees! Jason runs up Ced's back and to the top with DJ! He hooks the arm… and hits a Superplex! All three men are down! The only one left standing is Azriel! He looks over at all of the bodies… AND EXTENDS A HAND!

Jazz: "Azriel's calling for it! He's calling for a tag!"

Jay: "This is insane! This cannot be allowed to happen!"

The crowd goes MENTAL! They want to see the tag! Jason looks up and sees Azriel's hand sticking out! With little choice… he starts making the crawl! The crowd is in a fever pitch! He nearly makes it to Azriel… until DJ grabs his leg and yanks him back! The boos were nearly deafening as DJ started ground pounding him! Ced gets up and tries to grab Jason… UNTIL DJ PUSH HIM AWAY! Ced was shocked as DJ continued his attack! Not taking that lightly, Ced grabs DJ and pulls him off of Jason!

And they start brawling to a big pop! But not just for the fight! Because unbeknownst to them, Sabre resumes the crawl! DJ and Ced finally look over to see him almost make it! They scramble to stop him… but it was too late as SABRE TAGS IN AZRIEL!

Jazz: "JASON GETS THE TAG! THE KING OF DESPAIR IS IN THE MATCH!"

Jay: "DJ & Ced were distracted with their fight and ALLOWED AZRIEL TO ENTER!"

"Here are your winners: JASON SABRE & AZRIEL!"

Jazz: "Effortless. Azriel made that look effortless! He just took out both Ced AND DJ Kingston in near record time!"

Jay: "Effortless?! More like hopeless, Jazz! Cause that's what I felt for them as soon as Azriel was allowed to tag with Jason! Ced & DJ were so caught up with themselves & each other that they lost track of things until it was too late!"

The crowd goes nuts as Azriel rises back up. He looks down at his victims as the crowd chants his name. From behind, Jason rolls back in and lifts himself up. Sensing his presence, Azriel slowly turns to face Jason.

Time seems to stand still as Jason & Azriel stared each other down. Azriel's cold, heartless eyes staring down as Jason, who stares back with a tired expression yet burning fire in his eyes. The crowd were going WILD, chanting "HOLY SHIT" while anticipating what's gonna happen next!

But then those cheers turned into boos as Holiday Promotions (minus Trey Gold) ran in and attacked both men! Stone went right after Azriel as Tate & Washing jumped Sabre! The already battered Jason was too beat up & overwhelmed, but Azriel immediately began to fire back! That was until King Caesar runs in and boots Azriel in the face! He and Stone then start to overpower Azriel in the corner and even beat him down!

Jazz: "Oh this is bad… This is getting out of hand!"

Jay: "Holiday Promotions and Generation M are taking down the two threats to their championship aspirations!

The crowd boos loudly as DJ & Ced recover. Seeing their allies aid them, the two smirked at each other and joined in on the attack! Ced helped beat down Azriel while DJ went straight for Jason! Both Gen M & Holiday Promotions continue their assault…

Until the siren goes off! And Unstoppable (By Motionless In White) plays! The crowd pops LOUD once more… because here comes Revolution!

Jazz: "And just when we've seen it all… Revolution is here! And they are heading straight towards the chaos!"

Jay: "This is getting crazy, Jazz! Christian McIntyre is about to clean house on everyone!"

The crowd cheers for Revolution as McIntyre does indeed attack everyone! He grabs Tate and chucks him out of the ring! He floors DJ & Ced with clothelines before leveling Washington with a Standing Spinebuster! He even grabs Stone and GERMAN SUPLEXES HIM WITH EASE! Stone gets up and is Clotheslined over the rope! Caesar turns and goes to attack…but Christian ducks, sprints, and POUNCES him off his feet! The crowd comes on their feet as McIntyre rips off his shirt! He then turns to face Jason and Azriel as they stand up. It's a three-way staredown as the crowd goes BALLISTIC!

Neal: "I'VE HAD IT! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!"

Everyone turns to the stage as Evan Neal walks out, red with anger.

Neal: "I'VE HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH THIS! NO RESPECT FOR ME! NO RESPECT FOR MY AUTHORITY! BEING BLAMED FOR ALL THE PROBLEMS & HAVING TO FIX IT, I'VE HAD IT!"

Everyone just watched as Evan paces back and forth, constantly grabbing his hair.

Neal: "So you want a decision? Everyone wants to know what I'm gonna do? We'll here you go: At ICW Apocalypse, it will be:

Mark Jacobs!

Jason Sabre!

DJ Kingston!

Ced!

Christian McIntyre!

And Azriel!

IN A SIX PACK CHALLENGE FOR THE ICW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!"

The crowd loses their MINDS! "YES" chants echo throughout the arena! Neal throws the mic down and storms off, leaving everyone standing there in stunned silence at the announcement. They soon glance over each other, realizing that they will have to fight each other at the same time to become champion.

Jay: "JAZZ! DID YOU HEAR WHAT HE JUST SAID!"

Jazz: "The whole world heard it, Jay! ICW Apocalypse! Philadelphia! IT'S A SIX PACK CHALLENGE FOR THE HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE!"

Ced, DJ, Christian, Jason, & Azriel all stared at each other as the crowd continue going ballistic. And the screen fades to black…

After the show…

The screen opens backstage, where Mark is heading for the exit with his bags & championship.

He suddenly comes to a stop when he sees Alexis Espinoza blocking his path. She looked stoic as she stood there with her arms folded.

Mark: He smirks and walks up to her. "I know why you're here, princess. And you can save it. You signed the folder." He holds it up in front of her. "You fell for it just like everyone else. And now I'm free to do whatever I want, leaving everyone to fight over nothing. So I'm leaving. You have fun with this mess."

Mark was about to walk past Alexis… Until she places her arm out and blocks him. Mark looks down at her and sees her smiling and chuckling.

Espinoza: "You thought I didn't know about your plan? Mark, you need to know by now that nothing gets passed me. I was fully aware of your scheme." She takes the folder from his hand. "And how it's gonna come back to bite you."

Mark: "It doesn't matter. You agreed-"

Espinoza: "I did. But Evan Neal didn't."

Mark was about to argue…but realization came crashing down on him.

Espinoza: "Now you understand. He can make matches, too. I told him to man up and make a decision. And for the first time ever, he came up with a very good idea. So much so that I'm not going to stop it. I'm going to stand by him and make sure this happens. To the point where I made sure to bring you this news personally."

Alexis slowly begins to rip up the papers within the folder as she speaks.

Espinoza: "You'll be heading to Philadelphia, walking right into the main event of ICW Apocalypse, and defending that championship you have… against all five of them."

Mark: "No-"

Espinoza: "Yes." she interrupts. "Sabre. Kingston. Ced. McIntyre. And Azriel. All five men getting a shot at you… all at the same time." she finishes ripping up the papers and tosses them over Mark. "I warned you to not cross the Queen of the South. Because you will lose everything you hold dear. I will be the Bane of Your Existence, Mark. And like I said before: It's Open. Hunting. Season. On Mark Jacobs." She smiles at Mark. "Have a good evening."

Alexis smiles and walks away, leaving Mark speechless at the exit. The screen then fades to black…
