NEW AGE EDITION 8

NEW AGE EDITION EIGHT

The scene opens with Ba’al and Legion going at it backstage, Ba’al landing a right hand which sends Legion sprawling back and into some grates. As Ba’al lunges forwards to capitalize, Legion grabs him by the throat and pushes him back, crashing his spine into the concrete wall. Ba’al kicks Legion in the groin, proving that even Legion has a pair of testicles, and then drills him with an uppercut dropping Legion to one knee. Ba’al grabs a hold of Legions shoulder, but Legion thrusts upwards, his head crashing into the jaw of Ba’al who falls onto his back. As Legion advances, Ba’al scurries away, but Legion grabs him by the neck, throwing him effortless into the Loading Bay doors. Legion is just about to hammer home his advantage when a mass of security guards surround him, stopping him from getting to the Sinistry leader.

Ba’al: Good job they stopped you Sir, is that the best you can do?

Leeland Gaunt mocks Ba’al words.

Gaunt: Think yourself lucky.

Ba’al: Lucky, I’ve felt all he can do, he is nothing.

Gaunt: Yes lucky…

Kloe: No Leeland, you are lucky, lucky that I’m not throwing you out of the building right now.

Gaunt smiles at Kloe, Ba’al rubbing his jaw but also grinning

Gaunt: Merely taking out the trash Miss Masters, doing you a favour so to speak.

Kloe looks at Gaunt indignantly, then down as Ba’al who is still smirking, trying to get Legion even angrier.

Kloe: The ONLY favour I need you to do me right now is get Legion away from here right now, before I have no choice but to ban you from the arena.

Gaunt: And what would be the point in that, to allow the Blacklist and Sinistry to cause even more chaos.

Kloe: I’m warning you Leeland, get Legion out of here, or I will send you home.

Ba’al: And you don’t want let do you Leeland since your little project Katelyn Buehler has such an important match this evening. Would bode well for her without you being around now would it?

Legion takes a step forwards, but Gaunt places a hand on his shoulder.

Gaunt: Not now, you’ll get your chance Legion.

Gaunt pulls Legion away, and Kloe watches as they walk away. Ba’al is still smirking, as the scene fades.

NEW AGE

Pyrotechnics explode all around the arena, the fans going absolutely mental at what they have just seen, and the fact that NewAge Edition is going live from the Manhattan Center in New York, the camera pans around the Centre, taking in the fans excited faces, a majority of them holding up their banners, trying to get on the television. We see a banner which reads ‘Frankie Paradise BB – Blacklist Bitch’ and another which says ‘Porno Lad fears Vagina’. All around the arena is a mass of electricity and noise, the tension building as to what they are about to witness. With a final pan around the Manhattan Center and a momentary pause at the ‘Invictus’ banner, we then cut to ringside, where as usual Paul Hunter is sat with Dave Mackie.

Hunter: Has it really been two weeks? It goes so quickly these days.

Mackie: That’s your age bud, ticks along really nicely for me.

Hunter: Already we have seen Legion and Ba’al brawling in the back, the bad feeling between those two really starting to heat up.

Mackie: And Ba’al seems to enjoy every moment of Leeland Gaunt discomfort.

Hunter: Coming off what was an amazing RIOT event, tonight we Invictus comes just a little bit closer, and we will no doubt see the card for that event start to take shape. What we do know is that Legion has been making it perfectly clear that he believes he can beat Taylor Chase and WILL do so at the PPV.

Mackie: And I don’t think there would be many that would argue, but the way the buzzards are circling, and Taylor’s current mindset, I wouldn’t say it’s definite that Taylor will be the Champion come Invictus

Hunter: Also tonight we have the debut of Countess Nevena, a very interesting individual who will face IWC legend Jackson Adams, and a huge tag team match that will see Danny Darko and Lukas Montgomery face the tandem of Marcus Mayfield and Kathryn Pearson. All these, and so much more on what promises to be an action packed night…

Hunter is interrupted as a familiar music hits the PA system, the fans immediately recognizing it and jumping to their feet. The roof comes off the Manhattan Centre as Christian Savior appears at the top of the ramp, and immediately begins the walk down the ramp.

Hunter: Christian Savior is here…he’s back in an IWC arena for the first time since the end of last year and listen to this ovation.

Savior slides into the ring, and nods his head, listening to the reaction he is getting, before taking a mic from the announcer. He holds up his hand, calling for silence, before lifting it to his lips.

Savior: I’m not waiting around; I’m a very busy man. I want to discuss what happened at Last Stand and I want to discuss it with the man I hold responsible, so Orlando, get out here RIGHT NOW!!!

Savior looks up the ramp way, waiting for short while before lifting the mic again.

Savior: Come on Orlando, do I not deserve an explanation? Rose at a moment of weakness, just a moment when she felt compelled to return just one time, and instead of you being a man, and honoring our truce, you allowed her to compete, knowing how that would make me feel. Now, you have got the internet going mental, believing that Rose and I are preparing for some massive return, when that couldn’t be further from the truth. Unlike you, I am true to my word, and Rose and I, we will NEVER return to this company…EVER.

He is fixing to continue his tirade against the Icon, but he is interrupted by other than the Blacklist, who makes their way down the ramp, led by Aaron Harrison. Boos and jeers rain down, as Christian prepares for trouble. The Blacklist surrounds the ring. As Aaron slides under the bottom rope so he is face to face with Savior.

Harrison: You know something Chris; I think we got off on the wrong foot. You see, I understand where you are coming from, how our ‘Icon’ doesn’t care about people’s feelings. I know how you could feel angry, because he has messed around and played the ones I care about too. That’s why I needed this match at Invictus, to make him pay for those indiscretions, the only way I know how.

See, we are going to do what you couldn’t at Upping the Ante, and we are going to conclude the fallacy that is Orlando Cruze once and for all. The Blacklist, we are the most dominant force in this company, and we are going to rid it of the disease that is the Icon. And Chris, it would be our honor if you would be our special guests at Invictus, to witness the decimation of Orlando Cruze.

Aaron steps back, waiting for Saviors response. Christian is obviously thinking it through carefully.

Savior: You know something Aaron, I cannot think of anything I would rather bear witness to, then Orlando being destroyed in front of my very eyes…however, as I stated, I am a man of honor, one that is true to his word, and once I have finished my business here tonight, I will not return. BUT if I did, and I assure you, I’m not, if there was one reason why I would return and compete under those initials, it would be to take the Blacklist, each and every one of you, and kick your asses one by one. So you know Aaron, it’s probably a good idea if I stay at home and watch it on TV…or at least it’s probably in your best interests.

Savior throws the mic to the floor, and goes to walk away, one leg through the ropes.

Harrison: Yeah Chris, you’re probably right bud, after all if you did turn up, we would probably end up putting you in the same position we did Cruze…or even your delightful wife.

Savior stops, closing his eyes before turning, spearing Aaron almost out of his boots. Immediately the Blacklist enters the ring, Mika, Gary and Lukas beating down Christian raining boots in on his rib cage. Lukas lifts Savior up and drills him with a Chokeslam, as Matt leaps from the second rope, drilling his knee into Saviors throat.

Hunter: Beat down here on Savior, who isn’t even on the roster, this is horrific…now what?

Aaron rips the covering off the announce table and then as Mika kicks Savior out the ring, pulls him up onto the announce table as Lukas sets up the steel steps next to it.

Hunter: NO, don’t do it.

Mackie: He deserves it Paul, he shouldn’t have come.

Aaron smirks out over the crowd who boo incessantly. Harrison pays them no heed however, and hooks his arms, dropping Savior into the steps with a Double Under hook Pile Driver.

Hunter: Oh my God…Savior has been destroyed before our very eyes.

Mackie: He was right; he won’t be coming back that’s for sure.

EMT’s run down the ramp as the Blacklist celebrate with each, clearly happy with what they have done. As they do however, ‘Roar’ hits over the PA system, Kloe Masters appearing at the top of the ramp.

Hunter: Kloe has seen enough Dave…and the Blacklist looks concerned.

Kloe: Proud of yourself are you?

All members of the Blacklist nod in unison, still smiling.

Kloe: Good, because I have just come off the phone having has an ‘interesting’ conversation with the board of directors. See, Olek personally advised me that at the Invictus PPV, IWC President Orlando Cruze will indeed face the Trinity inside the Hell in the Cell

Aaron nods smugly, loving that news

Hunter: Huge announcement here from Kloe Masters, Orlando is going up against the Blacklist and it’s now official

Mackie: And signing his own death warrant, nice one

Kloe: But that’s not all, because for that match Orlando will be granted a chance to name two people to stand alongside him, in a huge six man Hell in the Cell confrontation. Blacklist, versus Team Icon.

Kloe waves and turns for the back as Aaron smacks the ropes in frustration at this news, Mika spouting abuse in Kloe’s direction as she leaves. Lukas takes hold of Aaron’s mic, holding up his hand for silence

Lukas: Don’t worry guys; this doesn’t make a shred of difference. Orlando can name all the hell he likes, it doesn’t matter. Because whoever he names, we will just make sure that they don’t get anywhere near that Cell when the time comes.

Lukas throws the mic to the floor, as the Blacklist leaves together.

Hunter: So, it’s on Ladies and Gentlemen, Team Icon versus the Blacklist, it promises to be a bloody finale.

Mackie: And one has to wonder, who will the Icon choose to stand by his side?

Alana Starr is sat on the trunk of a car in the parking lot, looking thoughtful, her eyes narrowed and focused

Alana: This car right here, this trunk was the very trunk where I received the Final Solution all those months ago

She looks down at the car, patting it with her right hand

Alana: This car, this very car was the one that ALMOST cost me my wrestling career

She slides off the trunk, standing with one leg resting against the car.

Alana: I’ve been haunted by that moment since the day it happened, it has consumed my thoughts, my dreams; it is all I have been about for several months.

She pushes off the car, her eyes burning with desire.

Alana: And tonight, now that I have Brittany Lohan at Invictus, for all those dreams and hauntings, I am going to do something that will forever HAUNT Brittany Lohan.

Katelyn Buehler shown in the back, stretching and preparing for her huge title opportunity this evening. Hurse walks in, and watches for a few moments as she does, until Katelyn finally becomes aware of his presence.

Katelyn: Steven…can I help you?

Hurse: No, not at all…I just wanted to wish you luck for tonight.

Katelyn: Thank you

Hurse: I stepped aside this evening so that you could get this title opportunity you crave so badly, finally getting Taylor Chase one on one

Katelyn: And I appreciate it, but if you don’t mind?

Hurse: Oh yes, of course, but I was wondering if I could ask for just one little thing in return, and that is for you to let me stand at ringside, and watch you first hand take away that title from Chase

Katelyn: I don’t know Steven.

Hurse: I know, I get it…I was a liability last week, I get that, but I can be helpful, and I want to be there to ensure that no one interferes on Taylor’s behalf.

Buehler thinks on it for a few moments before responding

Katelyn: You know something Steven, it would be an honor to have you in my corner for the match, however of late you have been just too much of a liability. You get yourself into too much trouble by not thinking first, you even cost me the chance to help Legion last week, and that was just unforgiveable.

Hurse: What?

Katelyn: I’m sorry Steven, but the answer is no

Hurse nods, not believing he won’t get his chance to help Katelyn, and walks away hanging his head with shame

Hunter: Big chance for Katelyn tonight and Hurse wanting to make sure that nothing stops her from becoming the champion.

Mackie: Katelyn has come a long way in a short space of time, could tonight end with her winning the world title

Hunter: Katelyn wants to do it alone, I respect that, but will it cost her the thing she craves more than anything else

Aaron steps back, waiting for Saviors response. Christian is obviously thinking it through carefully.

Savior throws the mic to the floor, and goes to walk away, one leg through the ropes.

Harrison: Yeah Chris, you’re probably right bud, after all if you did turn up, we would probably end up putting you in the same position we did Cruze…or even your delightful wife.

Hunter: Beat down here on Savior, who isn’t even on the roster, this is horrific…now what?

Aaron rips the covering off the announce table and then as Mika kicks Savior out the ring, pulls him up onto the announce table as Lukas sets up the steel steps next to it.

Hunter: NO, don’t do it.

Mackie: He deserves it Paul, he shouldn’t have come.

Aaron smirks out over the crowd who boo incessantly. Harrison pays them no heed however, and hooks his arms, dropping Savior into the steps with a Double Under hook Pile Driver.

Hunter: Savior wishing he had never returned

Mackie: Blacklist doesn’t mess around, but will they have made an enemy here?

Hunter: After that, Kloe would come out and announce our huge Invictus match, Blacklist versus Team Icon, and the huge news that Orlando can name his partners

Mackie: He’d better choose well, this could be the most important match of his career.

Hunter: Well, it’s time to focus on our first match, Polly Norah versus Sophie O’Brian…and it seems that match is now

POLLY NORAH VERSUS SOPHIE O’BRIAN

Polly Norah made her way down to the ring with three members of the Harem, Kordy, BMW and Porno Lad, Sophie following after with her brother Mark. The match exploded into action with Sophie taking the initiative, using her experience to wear Polly down. Sophie took Polly to the mat with an Inverted figure four leg lock, Polly managing to get to the ropes thankfully to save herself, but then found herself on the end of an explosive snap suplex, which was followed up by several German Suplexes, till finally Sophie would hook in the million dollar dream. Polly would fight to escape, the referee eventually dropping the arm twice before Polly found amazing fortitude to escape from the hold. Polly then showed that she had some fight left, jumping off the ropes with a Flying Clothesline, and then following that up with lifting DDT and an Anderson Spine buster, almost picking up the pin fall.

Polly’s control didn’t last as long as she hoped however as once again Sophie took control, using her speed to try and wear down the much bigger Polly. Sophie once again focused on the leg, using several variations of leg locks, and at one point stamping down on the leg, trying to deaden the muscle. Sophie then picked Polly up and whipped her towards the ropes, but Polly reversed it, hitting Sophie with a huge Clothesline from Hell, before dropping a leg across Sophie’s chest, almost once again picking up the three. Polly then went to the second rope and went for a Diving Head butt, but missed, Sophie immediately hooking in a Triangle Choke, choking the life out of her opponent.

As the referee checked the hold, the Harem went after Mark who after initially fighting them off, couldn’t sustain it and got wore down by the sheer weight of numbers. Sophie saw this and got to her feet, about to help her brother. But Polly was up, and nailed Sophie with the Last Laugh, Sophie just kicking out at two. At this point Robert comes rushing down the ramp and grabs Porno Lad, subjecting him to a Twiggle Wiggy. Porno can’t escape, and the subjection only stops as Kordy rushes in from behind and slams Robert’s skull into the steel ring post, the sound of steel on skull reverberating around the arena. Polly spins around to see what is going on, smirking as she sees Robert holding his skull in agony. This gives Sophie just long enough to spin Polly around, and hit an Enziguri, before rolling her into a pin and picking up the three count.

Hunter: Hard fought victory for Sophie, but all-out war going on at ringside here.

The Harem continues to take apart Robert, DDT on the steel steps from Porno Lad doing more damage to his already bruised skull. With Robert in bits, they slide into the ring and then start on Sophie who is thrown into the ropes, Kordy hitting a Missile Dropkick from the top rope. Mark tries to help, but the Harem is too many, Mark receiving a double suplex from Polly and BMW, and left a heap in the center of the ring.

Mackie: The Harem showing they are not to be messed with

Hunter: And showing a brutal streak…hold on, Black Crusade on their way to the ring

The Harem sees this and quickly slides out the ring as the Black Crusade enters, then back up the ramp, smiling at the carnage. Hush, Silence and AI stand in the center, AI taking a mic.

AI: Don’t run, stay and play. In fact, how’s about tonight, the Black Crusade issue a challenge to Porno Lad and his little Harem

Porno looks on confused.

AI: How’s about tonight’s match tonight between you Porno Lad and our Mr Hush, be turned into a hair versus Mask match?

The crowd goes mental, but Porno shakes his head, outright refusing to get involved

Hunter: What a challenge from the Crusade, but Porno Lad doesn’t like that idea one bit.

The Harem disappear backstage, getting away from the Black Crusade who stand in the center of the ring, Total War just beginning to recover. At ringside Robert shouts up the ramp, demanding that the Harem come back and fight him.

Taylor paces the office backstage with her husband watching her thoughtfully, seeing the turmoil she is going through. He’s seen her in this mood many times, and doesn’t interrupt her. Suddenly she stops, and turns to Orlando, shaking her head.

Taylor: I should be thrilled; I should be out of my mind with excitement. Tonight, I’m defending the world title, my world title, in a match that is huge against Katelyn Buehler. I know how much she wants this, and that makes it a massive challenge, and yet, all I can think about is getting my hands on the Blacklist.

Orlando: I know Tay, but you know how it is. Right now I have about as much control as the middle guy in a Bobsleigh at the winter Olympics, but I am working on that.

Taylor: I know honey, and I’m not blaming you…

At that point the door opens, Shaun Cruze walking in, a huge smile on his face

Shaun: Well hello lovebirds…saw the announcement this morning, that’s quite a match brother

Orlando: It is…about time we put an end to this

Shaun: Couldn’t agree more, that’s why I want to be the first to volunteer for duty. I got me some issues I need to iron out with Miss Kozlov

Orlando: I’ll bear you in mind Shaun

Shaun: You do that…let’s end this together, for the IWC. They may hate me over in the Supreme, but this is my home right here, and I’d die to defend it.

Orlando nods as Shaun leaves, the Icon turning to Taylor

Orlando: Seems getting two partners won’t be as difficult as I thought.

Taylor: Exactly, so back to me

Orlando laughs

Taylor: What are you going to do about me getting my hands on Mika and Gary TONIGHT!!!

Orlando: Errr…

“Perhaps I can help you with that?”

Taylor spins around to face none other than Brittany Lohan

Lohan: If you are certain you want to do this, I can help. I’ve seen flashes of the monster within that you are going to need if you are going to come through this

Orlando: I don’t think…

Lohan: Orlando, I know you don’t want to hear it, but if she is going to defeat Legion, and get rid of Gary and Mika, she is going to need that monster. You know as well as anyone, sometimes you need that inside you to pull through. You have it, I have it, and Taylor has, and needs it right now

Orlando for a moment looks like he is going to protest, but he cannot, because he agrees. Taylor just stares at them both, knowing that on this occasion, Brittany Lohan was right.

Porno and the Harem march through the backstage area, obviously still vexed by what had happened earlier.

Porno: I ain’t doing it, the ladies love the locks, my head ain’t being bald, and I got bald bits, but not my head, no way. It isn’t being shaved by anyone.

The rest of the Harem is obviously concerned, Kordy wondering what bald bits he was talking about. Porno is about to continue his rant when Kloe steps in front of him, Porno rolling his eyes.

Porno Lad: And what do you want Kloe, I really don’t have time for this.

Kloe laughs

Kloe: Well that’s a shame Ethan, because it can’t have escaped your attention that I have a little bit of power around these parts, especially where the NewAge brand is concerned.

Porno: Yeah, yeah, so what gives? You want me to sort something out for you…Blacklist maybe, after all you saw what we did to Total War?

Kloe: Oh no Ethan, this is actually about what I can do for you. See, I heard the little challenge made by the Black Crusade

Porno Lad gulps

Porno: Oh, you did?

Kloe: Yeah I did, and you know something, it’s a fantastic idea. So tonight Ethan if you lose, you head is shaved bald by the Black Crusade, I’d suggest if you don’t like it, don’t lose.

Porno Lad smiles, watching as Kloe turns the corner, before throwing the biggest hissy fit in IWC history. He even throws stuff, yeah really, before Kordy manages to calm him down by giving him a shoulder massage.

Porno: Not my hair…please

Kordy: Which bits are already bald?

Robert is in the ring, pacing up and down with microphone in hand. He looks troubled, really troubled by events that have transpired already this evening

Robert: Not happy, Mnooseville is under threat. I told you, told you all what would happen to those that became a part of my list. That list is ever growing, and tonight, Porno Lad and the Harem were added to it and I assure you that none of them will escape the army of Mnooses I shall unleash on their souls. There is however some others who has been recently added, the scoundrel that goes by the name of Gavin Taylor and his agent with the ginormous nose. They continue to climb the list to the very top, in danger of experiencing my wrath and a whole lot more besides, for the heinous act of not letting Bob join their elitist, Anus-Based Collective, one of the biggest no-no’s in the laws of Mnooseville. Therefore, I consider it my doody, to come out her right now, and challenge Mr Taylor to a match…so Gavin, you wanted Mnooses, come get them

Hunter: Big challenge from Robert right here

Mackie: And it looks like he doesn’t have long to wait either

Gavin Taylor and Adam Chase appear at the top of the ramp, Chase with a mic in his hand

Adam Chase: You know something Robert I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t understand hardly any of what you just said. However, I do understand the word challenge, and my client, he is more than willing to accept.

Taylor bails down the ramp and slides into the ring, and before Robert can grab him, Gavin unloads with rights and lefts, rocking Robert backwards. However, Robert pushes Gavin back and onto his back, jumping up and splashing Gavin, squashing him where he lays. Robert then picks him up and whips him into the turnbuckle, running in with a big splash, which sends Gavin down and onto his backside. Robert turns, and rubs his backside in Gavin’s mush with a stink face, before coming out the corner and raising his arms aloft

Hunter: Robert in control, using his weight advantage to good effect

Mackie: And the contents of his anal passage as well it seems

Robert celebrates with the Mnooses, as Adam dips into his pocket, pulling out some Brass Knuckles. He walks around the ring, and is about to pass them to Gavin when Tabitha and Andre run down the ramp, Tabitha catching Chase by surprise and ripping the Knuckles from out of his grasp. Tabitha and Chase go nose to nose, Chase finally having enough and pushing Silverstone backwards, Tabitha falling onto her ass. Andre, maddened by this, grabs Chase by the collar and starts to shake him violently like a rag doll. Gavin rolls out the ring, and lands a right on Andre, Jordan responding with one of his own, as finally they come to blows, fighting around the ring as the referee throws the match out. Jordan pushes Gavin into the steel turnbuckle, his spine almost snapping from the impact, but as Andre runs in, Gavin rakes his eyes, and uses that distraction to grab hold of Chase and help him back up the ramp. Andre shakes his head and helps Tabitha to her feet, checking she is ok, whilst in the ring; Robert has picked up a mic. As Andre and Tabitha make to leave, Robert speaks.

Robert: Whoa, just one minute there Air Jordan…I promised the Mnooses a war tonight and I will not, nor will I ever let them down. Andre…get in here.

Hunter: Robert challenging Andre now, what the hell is this guy on?

Andre looks at Tabitha, shaking his head and groaning, realizing that he has been challenged and cannot lose face. He slides under the bottom rope, the referee sliding in and calling for a bell

Hunter: Challenge accepted, here we go folks

ROBERT VERSUS ANDRE JORDAN

Andre starts out with quick knife edge chops against Robert that stagger him back against the ropes. He does an Irish whip but it is reversed. Robert goes for a clothesline but Jordan ducks, rebounds off the other ropes and comes back with a running Enziguri kick to Robert’s head that drops him. He quickly staggers back to his feet and Andre with a beautiful standing dropkick sends Robert tumbling to the outside

Hunter: Andre Jordan with an early advantage over Robert.

Mackie: You need to keep this kind of pace up against someone as freakishly strong as Robert.

Andre Jordan with a plancha over the top to the outside, taking out Robert

Hunter: Jordan isn’t gonna let Robert get any time to recover!

Mackie: I wouldn’t either.

Andre pulls him up and rolls him back into the ring. He pulls Robert back to his feet and whips him into a corner before rushing in and connecting with a corner splash. Andre drives him face first to the mat with a bulldog.

Hunter: Jordan is not letting up with this offense.

Mackie: His strategy is simple; hit Robert fast and hard!

(Andre takes a running start and connects with a jumping knee drop onto Robert. He covers.)

1…Kickout!

Hunter: Only a one count created by Andre Jordan.

Mackie: It’s still too early yet.

Jordan pulls Robert up and goes for another Irish whip but it is countered into a short arm clothesline from Robert.

Hunter: A short arm clothesline that nearly decapitated Jordan.

Mackie: This is the opening Robert needs after a fast start from Jordan.

Robert takes a few steps back and waits as Andre Jordan pulls himself up when he turns around he gets leveled by a forearm smash from Robert. He then quickly drops his entire body weight, ass first, onto Andre’s chest, staying on for a cover.

1…Kickout!

Hunter: A one count created by Robert.

Mackie: Again, way too early.

Hunter: Yes but these early pin attempts can wear an opponent out.

Mackie: This is true.

Robert pulls Andre up to his feet and whips him into a corner. He rushes in with avalanche which causes Jordan to slump down in the corner. Robert then proceeds to back his ass up into Andre’s face.

Hunter: Ugh!

Mackie: Bottom To Face Ratio…

Robert pulls Andre back up to his feet and Andre, perhaps energized with anger at having someone’s posterior shoved in his face, starts throwing wild rights which connect to Robert, staggering him backward. Jordan connects with a vicious super kick that sends Robert down, Andre with a quick leg drop before going into the cover.

1…

…2Kickout!

Hunter: Still only a two for Andre Jordan.

Mackie: I think Robert’s ass energized him.

Andre with an overhead belly to belly suplex. He then delivers a snap suplex before delivering a reverse exploder suplex. Andre covers.

1…

2…Kickout!

Hunter: Andre Jordan is suplexing Robert out of his boots!

Mackie: Note to self, never stick ass in Andre’s face…

Andre continues his suplex frenzy with a half-nelson suplex. He goes for a standard suplex but Robert blocks it, knees him in the gut, and then delivers a stalling one handed vertical suplex letting the blood rush to Andre’s head before dropping him.

Hunter: Nice counter by Robert.

Mackie: He easily overpowered Andre Jordan.

Robert hoists Andre onto his shoulders and then delivers a fireman’s carry into a splash. Robert starts wriggle around on Andre for a moment.

Hunter: Smother Effect!

Mackie: Andre Jordan won’t like that…

Robert with a military press slam onto Andre Jordan. He pulls Andre up and delivers one power bomb, followed by a second while still maintaining the grip, and then completed with a third! Robert covers.

1…

2…

…3NOOO! Andre shoots his right shoulder up off the mat!

Robert pulls Andre up off the mat and backs him up into a corner with knife-edge chops. Robert hoists him up onto the top turnbuckle and then snaps off a top rope choke slam. Robert doesn’t go for the cover. Instead he pulls Andre up and snaps off an overhead belly to belly suplex. He finally covers…

1…

2…

…3NOOOO! Andre gets a foot on the bottom rope!

Hunter: All that offense and STILL Andre Jordan kicks out!

Mackie: I think Robert took up too much time. He should’ve covered after that top rope choke slam.

Robert drags Andre over to the corner. He climbs up to the second rope and starts to get ready for the drop…he drops down but Andre moves just in time and Robert hits nothing but canvas.

Hunter: Andre Jordan just barely avoided a catastrophe!

Mackie: Now can he take control?

Andre Jordan with a Russian leg sweep. He connects with a diving back elbow smash. Andre with a neck breaker clothesline. He covers.

1…

2…

…3NOOO! Robert kicks out!

Andre with a back breaker. Andre with a jumping knee drop. He pulls Robert up and then he drops him with a falling reverse STO for a cover.

1…

2…

…3NOOOO! Robert gets a shoulder up!

Hunter: Andre Jordan has nearly had him on so many occasions!

Mackie: But he…uh oh…

Andre grabs hold of Robert and whips him, but Robert reverses the move. As Andre returns, the both of them go for the same Flying Clothesline, knocking each other out.

Hunter: OHHH, what a shot, both men down and this could be over right here

The crowd erupts as Gavin Taylor runs down the ramp, and grabs the Brass Knuckles from ringside.

Mackie: This is not good at all…Taylor looking to take out both these individuals for Chase Global.

Gavin grins, but his attention is totally on Andre, waiting for him to recover. However behind him Robert already has, and Robert scoops him up, driving him into the mat with a Power Slam, the fans on their feet.

Hunter: Robert takes out Taylor before he can do any damage…OOOoo

In the ring Robert is spun around, Jordan kicking him the guts before delivering his version of the Pedigree, driving Robert’s head into the mat. Exhausted, he grabs Roberts leg, the referee going for the count

1…

2…

3…

The fans shake their heads in disbelief as Andre Jordan picks up a huge victory

Hunter: Jordan taking advantage of the distraction, and scoring the pin fall

Robert slides out the ring and makes his way up the ramp as Taylor recovers, hopping up onto the canvas and looking to finally get his hands on Andre Jordan

Mackie: This doesnt look good for Jordan, he’s exhausted

Hunter: But hold on…Kyle Black is here

Kyle slides into the ring behind a kneeling Jordan, Gavin stopping in his tracks, before finally backing off.

Hunter: Big save here from Kyle Black, stopping Taylor from getting his hands on a weakened Jordan

Jordan gets to his feet and turns around, Black wasting no time drilling him with a huge right hand which staggers Andre. He then lifts him up, hitting a brutal BrainBuster suplex in the center of the ring

Hunter: What the hell?

Taylor nips back up onto the apron, giving Kyle a high five before then the both of them sliding out the ring, and backing their way up the ramp

Hunter: Does this mean?

Almost on cue, Adam Chase appears at the top of the ramp, just as Kyle and Gavin reach him

Chase: Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce to you the latest member of Chase Global…KYLE BLACK!!!

Hunter: Well there you go, Kyle Black has joined Adam’s growing group, and my, he’s getting quite the roster

Mackie: This changes everything Hunter, and not for the better either.

Hunter: What a knock down drag out match that was Mackie, but the hits are only just getting started

A freeze frame shows of Katelyn Buehler and Taylor Chase standing side by side

Hunter: Katelyn has wanted this opportunity for a long time, and over the past few months has really knuckled down and earned this shot. However much Taylor wants this match, she has already openly admitted she would rather be facing the Blacklist.

Mackie: Taylor has to be on her game tonight, because although all the hype has been for Taylor and Legion at Invictus, that could easily go south tonight

Hunter: And with Hurse at ringside for Katelyn, will he have any impact on the future of the world title?

Mackie: Hurse won’t just stand idly by, if Katelyn needs him, he will be there.

Hunter: And will the Blacklist also make an appearance?

Mackie: I would have that would be a given Paul

Boos greet the site of Frankie Paradise, who is walking alongside Referee Wright through the backstage area.

Paradise: Gotta admit, loved your work last week in the Jones and Romeo match last week, anyone that can do just as good a job as I would have, they are alright with me

Wright: Just doing my job Mr Paradise

Paradise: I know right, I wish there were more just as committed as you. To prove my appreciation for a job well done, I would like to give you a reward

Wright: Really no need

Paradise: I insist Wrighty, here we are.

We see Abigail Lindsay who is busy stretching in readiness for later. She feels a tap on her shoulder and turns, looking at the two guys stood in front of her with confusion

Abigail: Errmm, can I help you?

Paradise: I’m glad you asked because indeed you can. See, Stuart here did a good job for me, and you Abigail, you are going to be his reward. So, anything he asks for, and I mean anything, you ensure that he gets it ok?

Abigail: What the hell?

Paradise: I promised Wrighty here a night with you if he fulfilled his duties; he came through, so…here we are

Abigail: And what made you think I would agree to that?

Paradise: Well, according to Cassidy Haze it wouldn’t be a problem

Abigail: Ahh…

She nods her head, starting to get a picture now

Paradise: Yeah, she said that you have no scruples, and that you are willing to do ANYTHING to get ahead.

Abigail: This is getting ridiculous now, attacking Marie was one thing, but this, this is beyond reality

Paradise: Look, I don’t care about the ways and wherefores just keep my boy happy.

He pats Stuart Wright on the shoulder

Paradise: Have fun

Paradise walks away, Stuart looking at Abigail and grinning

Abigail: Not going to happen, keep dreaming

The grin falls off the referees face

Abigail: I think I need to have a word with Miss Haze.

Hunter: Uh ho, Cassidy been telling tales again

Mackie: And winding up Abigail Lindsay in the process.

Hunter: One thing I have learnt over the years is that you do not rile a member of the Lohan sisters, not now, not ever…this cannot end well. Not well at all. Next up, we have a match that promises to be brutal. It’s Nikolai Kozlov versus Kyle Black, and it’s right now

NIKOLAI KOZLOV VERSUS KYLE BLACK

This hugely anticipated match started off with a bang, the two of them trading blows, and both of them taking turns with the offense and picking up near falls. A drop kick from Kozlov took Black to the floor and allowed Kozlov to lock in the Camel Clutch in the center of the ring which almost drew a submission, Black managing somehow to reach the ropes. As Kyle came back into the match, a Running Bulldog from the corner almost snapped Nikolai’s head from his shoulders. Kyle would then own the match for a while, hitting a Suplex, delivered with perfection, and following it up with a leap from the turnbuckle, driving his elbow into the chest of Kozlov for a two count. He then got a little too confident however, and went to the top again, this time looking for a splash from the top, but Nikolai getting out the way, and Kyle crashing to the canvas and hurting his knee in the process

Kozlov immediately went to work on the knee, kicking at it as Black tried to protect it, trying to stop the onslaught. But Kozlov hadn’t got the nickname ‘Savage’ for nothing, and he was relentless, dragging Black to the corner and slamming Kyle’s leg into the steel. Nikolai then continued to work the leg, lifting Black high in the air then driving his knee into the mat. Black tried to escape to the sanctuary of the outside, but Kozlov followed him out, and continued the assault, this time using the steel steps as a weapon, and also lifting him, and bringing him down on the steel barricade. Kozlov threw Black back into the ring, to continue the onslaught, but as he advanced, Black hooks Kozlov around the waist and fell back, hanging Kozlov by his throat on the strands of the ropes

Hunter: What a match this has been so far, and Kyle Black very much in the ascendancy

Kyle throws Kozlov into the ropes, bouncing of the strands himself, and drilling Kozlov with a flying Clothesline. He picks Kozlov to his feet, the bigger man dazed, but drops him as Mika runs down the ringside and up onto the ropes. Kyle begins to shout abuse in her direction, and the referee tells her to get down. But Kyle is distracted, as Nikolai gets to his feet. And Kyle spins around, Kozlov grabs him by the throat, Black kicking him in the groin as Mika still distracts the referee.

Hunter: Kozlov in trouble, but Kyle is going upstairs

Kyle holds his arms aloft, but Mika pulls the strands, Kyle losing his balance. This gives Kozlov time to nip up onto the second rope, grabbing Black into the arms and spinning around, Power Bombing him from that position into the mat

Mackie: What a shot from Nikolai, Kyle Black has been decimated here

Hunter: And it’s not over…look

Kozlov lifts Kyle over his head into a military press, showing amazing strength. He walks around the ring, holding a defence less Black in that position, smirking at Mika as he walks past her, Mika giggling like a school girl. Finally he drops him to the mat with a devastating Spine Buster, almost breaking Kyle in half, before pinning his shoulders to the mat

1…

2…

3…

EMT’s are already making their way to the ring as the referee holds up Nikolai’s arm, Mika joining her cousin excitedly.

Hunter: Massive effort from Kyle Black but on this occasion not enough

Mackie: Kozlov is dominant, and strong, and I don’t know if there is anyone that can stop him

As Kyle makes his way up the ramp with the help of the EMT’s, Kozlov stays in the ring, and picks up a microphone.

Nikolai: Cruze, get yourself out here and let’s end what we started on RIOT

Hunter: Uh ho, things getting out of hand here

Shaun’s music hits, the fans jumping to their feet in unison as Shaun walks down the ramp way with Yvonne Knight by his side. Shaun slides into the ring and starts unloading on Kozlov, drilling him with right, after right, Nikolai’s head snapping back with every shot. Shaun then takes a couple of steps back and drills him with the Morality. Shaun stands over the downed Kozlov, shouting at him, but out of sight Mika has run down the ring, grabbing Yvonne by the back of the head and ramming it into the apron. She then slides into the ring and slams a Cane across Shaun’s back, dropping him to one knee

Hunter: Mika out here for her cousin, and what a shot

Shaun staggers about, allowing Nikolai to get to his feet and then Spear Shaun, sending him flying through the ropes and to the outside. Nikolai now looks like a man possessed, and he slams Shaun’s head into the barricades over and over again, before lifting him up over the exposed concrete.

Hunter: No…someone do something

Mackie: Shaun about to be decimated, and look at Mika enjoying every moment

Kozlov drops, hitting a brutal Pile Driver, and leaving Shaun lifeless. Yvonne has come to and is checking on Shaun, as Danny Darko rushes down the ramp joining them. Seeing that Yvonne is taking care of Shaun, he grabs a hold of Kozlov who brushes him off, not paying any attention to Darko’s words and treating him as if he isn’t even there. EMT’s come out to check on Shaun

Hunter: EMT’s working over time tonight…brutality there from Kozlov, destroying Orlando’s brother.

Mackie: And sending a message to Orlando as well, that he is here, and he won’t stop at anything for his cousin Mika.

Axl Evermore is waiting as Nikolai and Mika come through the curtain, and he is quick to stop them.

Axl: Mika, what was that all about, Shaun Cruze destroyed in front of the eyes of the IWC fans?

Mika: Ah Axl, you poor, poor has been you.

Axl scowls, but Mika doesn’t give him time to respond.

Mika: Kloe Masters thought she was clever, she thought she had gotten one over on the Blacklist, she was wrong. See, we knew that Shaun would be the first name on Orlando’s little list of helpers for Invictus, well, it looks like Nikolai here has just make damn sure that Shaun won’t be anywhere near that particular PPV

Axl: And that was the plan?

Mika: Of course Axl, and the same will happen to anyone else who decides it would be a good idea to stand by the side of our Icon. If you think what happened to Shaun and Christian was bad Axl, just you wait and see what happens tonight when I take away my ‘sisters’ world title. Ta-ta now

Brittany Lohan is shown walking through the corridors of the Manhattan Center, staring only in front of her and not noticing the crew going about their work. She walks through some double doors, leading to the parking lot entrance, looking no doubt for none other than Alana Starr. She puts her hand on the door knob and pauses, thinking it through, before opening it and stepping into the parking lot

Marcus Mayfield is seen walking through the backstage area, stopping occasionally to say hi to some of the guys on duty tonight. He stops, spotting Lukas Montgomery talking to someone, but not able to see who it is. He is about to step up to Montgomery, having plenty to say to him, when he stops, just so Lukas cannot see him. Lukas says a few more words and then walks away.

Mayfield: What the hell?

He then takes another step back as Amanda Blayze steps out the room, a strange, perturbed look etched onto her face. She doesn’t say anything, nor does she shout after Lukas, and she doesn’t even notice Mayfield who is watching on.

Hunter: Before the break we saw Shaun Cruze decimated by the Kozlov’s, we will get you an update on his condition when we have it. Up next however it’s time for our next match

Mackie: And it’s a doozy, a member of the Lohan’s against possibly one of the most focused individuals in the game

ABIGAIL LINDSAY VERSUS DAVID MILLER

Abigail comes out to the ring first, and has to put up with some disgusting gestures in her direction from referee Wright. Even as Miller arrives in the ring, he is still at it, and the distraction is enough to allow Miller to take control of the match, Abigail struggling to get started. Miller immediately used a submission offense, arm locks and head locks the order of the day as he continued over and over to turn the screw. Miller would lock in a triangle choke, which Abigail almost fell to, but thankfully for her she was able to reach the ropes and break the count, or the match would have been over. Abigail then would have a momentary advantage, as she surprised him with a Bitch Kick, and some perfectly executed moves such as a Swanton Bomb which gave her a two count. Miller however turned it around again, and it wasn’t long before she was hooked in a Sharpshooter and once again scrambling for the ropes. Even though she was up against it, she continued to remain jovial, still believing she could win

Hunter: It’s been all David Miller here Dave, Lindsay struggling with the submissions

The crowd erupts in boos, as Cassidy Haze arrives at the top of the ramp with microphone in her hand.

Cassidy: Really, are you people so gullible to believe her bullshit?

Boos answer the question as Miller throws Abigail across the ring, Abigail sliding between his legs and then hitting a Russian Leg Sweep

Cassidy: That woman is a traitor; you shouldn’t give her any respect, because she certainly doesn’t respect any of you.

Abigail gets to her feet, Miller doing the same and hooking her around the waist, hitting a Gut Wrench Suplex.

Cassidy: Abigail betrayed me in GDW, and ultimately she will betray each and every one of you, because that’s what she does to get what she wants. She is NOT a woman of honor that you believe her to be, not in the slightest and she is a nut who has fallen far, FAR from the Lohan family tree.

Miller drags Abigail to her feet, looking for another submission, but Abigail quickly reverses it, Miller for the moment stunned with a right hand which slaps across his face. As he recovers she hits a shooting star DDT, the referee dropping to the canvas to count

1…

2…

3…

The referee counts the three, and Miller rolls out the ring, Lindsay celebrating for just a moment, until she realizes that Cassidy is making her way down the ramp

Cassidy: Oh well done Abigail, another victory to prove to these ignorant masses that you are someone they can get behind

Abigail tries to get her breath

Hunter: Cassidy coming to the ring, this cannot be good for Abigail

Cassidy: What’s the matter Abigail, did you ‘relent’ and give Stuart what he wanted, and because after all, it’s what you are good at

Mackie: BUUURNNN

Cassidy nips up on the apron as Abigail adopts a fighting stance in the ring

Cassidy: Oh, I’m not here to fight you Abi, very soon, I’m going to reveal you for the filth you truly are

She pulls a switchblade from her corset, flicking it open and staring, then grinning at the blade

Cassidy: And, one day, I’m going to use this to make sure your face matches your repulsive, inner self.

Brittany Lohan is pictured searching the parking lot, walking around

Brittany: Come out Alana, stop hiding.

She looks behind a car, shaking her head

Brittany: You wanted this Alana, now step out the shadows and face me

Hunter: Brittany is looking for Alana Starr apparently

Mackie: After what Alana said earlier, I’m not in the littlest bit surprised. If I was Brittany, I’d want a word as well

Hunter: Well Alana had better hope she isn’t found, because Brittany seems to be getting more and more irritated

Brittany: GET OUT HERE ALANA…NOW!!!

Abigail grabs a hold of Cassidy, spinning her around to face her. Haze grins, which annoys Lindsay even further.

Abigail: You didnt have to do that Cassidy?

Cassidy: I don’t understand what you are talking about.

Abigail: Look, I know we have had our problems of late, but we can sort them out if you let me. I can make you love me again, I know I can

Cassidy: And how are you going to do that?

Abigail: Well, on the next RIOT, I got us a match booked, you and me against the Unity

Cassidy: Really?

Abigail: Yeah, and not only that, Unity have to put their Number one contendership for the tag titles on the line

Cassidy looks perturbed by this news. Abigail though is on a roll

Abigail: Look Cass, I know that when I signed here it put a lot of strain on you and Brittany and your relationship. I get that, truly I do. However, just think about it, if Brittany see’s that you are willing to work with me again, don’t you think that will look good on you?

Cassidy: Possibly

Abigail: Of course it would, and with Dark Legacy on the same page again, everyone wins right?

Cassidy: I guess

Abigail: Told you Cassidy, I’m going to sort this, you’ll see

Cassidy shakes her head, obviously confused by the situation as Abigail walks away

Katelyn is pacing her dressing room, getting the adrenaline surging as her match for the world title looms ever closer. Leeland Gaunt steps in, and greets her with a smile

Leeland: Ah, Miss Buehler, I thought I would find you here

Katelyn: Just getting ready Leeland

Leeland: Yes, your big title opportunity this evening. I must say, it gladdens my heart that you have come full circle, and now stand on the cusp of being the world champion

Katelyn: Thank you

Leeland: NO, thank you. It’s touches me to know that I was instrumental in your personal growth and that I am partially responsible for you being where you are now.

Katelyn: Cannot deny that Mr Gaunt.

Leeland: I believe you will win that title this evening, in fact I fully expect it. I have to say though Miss Buehler, your victory will also serve my Legion as well. You would make a champion who actually respects the title as something more than a prop, to ensure their popularity, and make sure they are trending worldwide.

Katelyn: I do respect the title, and I respect the business

Leeland: Yes, and you are not weak like Taylor, who needs someone to hide behind, and doesn’t have the ability to stand on her own two feet

Katelyn: Thank you, this means a lot

Leeland: I’m not going to do something as contrived as wish you luck Miss Buehler because you won’t be needing luck. You possess something that she never will, and that is the inner monster you need to be the figure head of a company. I’ll catch up with you later, once you are the IWC World Heavyweight Champion.

Leeland nods, and spins on his heels, leaving the room, and allowing Katelyn to continue with her preparation

Stuart Wright is at ringside, talking to some underage female fan on the front row. Haunted, hits the PA system and Marie Jones step out from the back and makes a beeline immediately for the referee. Wright backs off, and then slides into the ring to escape, scooting backwards on his backside until he reaches the turnbuckle and cannot go any further, Marie following him with a microphone in her hand.

Marie: One question Wright, why did you try and cost me my match with Romeo last week on RIOT?

Wright: I don’t have to explain anything to you

Wright nips under the bottom rope, and starts backing up the ramp with a massive grin on his face. He gets very confident, thinking he has escaped, but then he turns, bumping into the chest of Romeo

Hunter: Referee Wright thought he had escaped, he was wrong.

Romeo grabs Stuart by the shirt and drags him down the ramp, rolling him back into the ring. He then climbs up onto the apron

Romeo: You owe us both an explanation for last week, and we are going to get it

As they both are in the ring interrogating Wright, Lucas Knight steps through the curtain, making his way down the ramp

Lucas: Pointless, pointless, pointless, that’s all this is, you two, frightening a poor, frail little man, just because you didn’t get your own way. Fact is, neither of you deserve a title opportunity, neither of you deserve the honor of such an accolade, so whether Wright screwed you over or not is irrelevant

Mackie: He raises a good point

Hunter: True, doesn’t stop them from asking the question though

Lucas nips up onto the apron, and under the ropes, into the ring

Lucas: If either of you were named, you’d only mess it up anyways. That’s why Frankie brought me here, to rejuvenate the World Championship and once again make the belt INTERESTING. So no matter how much the pair of you bitch and whinge, that is precisely what I am going to do.

As the three stare at each other, Ba’al music hits

Hunter: Now this isn’t good.

Mackie: You shitting me, this is awesome, I love this guy.

Ba’al steps out, Jaina and Rachel in tow, and they also walk down the ring, as Lucas, Marie and Romeo watch

Ba’al: Surely it is obvious to you people, because it is to me. Frankie Paradise is trying to rob anyone who isn’t called Lucas Knight, and make sure that they cannot claim the world title. To be honest, I have to say with regards to you Marie, and you too Romeo, I would have to agree with Mr Paradise, because the only reason you want the title is to satiate your greed. But I, Ba’al, I want to be the world titles salvation, to purge it free of sin, by removing it from those who would use the championship for the purpose of indulging their lust, envy and greed. I have one title, it is now time to claim another

Just as it looks like the Sinistry is going to attack, they stop and Pestilence walk down the ramp way and past them before surrounding the ring. Laymon, Executioner and Wilde step up onto the apron, as Marie, Romeo and Lucas stand back to back ready to repel the attack

Hunter: It looks like we are about to have yet another beat down, and Marie, Romeo and Lucas realize the only way they can get out of this is together.

‘Roar’ hits over the PA system, Kloe Masters stepping out on the stage

Mackie: Jesus Christ she is everywhere tonight.

Hunter: Isn’t she pretty?

Mackie: Holy shit…Hunter has a crush on the boss.

Kloe: You know something, what the hell…ring that bell and Stuart, get in that ring and officiate. Six man tag right now, Marie Jones, Lucas Knight and Romeo versus Pestilence…

Hunter: Holy sh…

Mackie: I know, Kloe has just dropped a bomb right there, and Ba’al cannot believe it.

Hunter: Well, it looks like Marie and Wilde are going to kick us off

JONES/KNIGHT/ROMEO VERSUS PESTILENCE

The match started with the put together trio very much in the ascendancy with Marie Jones and Romeo taking charge on Jessica Wilde, the pair of them doing quick tags and keeping her in their corner. Lucas wanted to enter the action, but they both ignored him, not trusting him to fight for the benefit of the team and preferring to take care of it themselves. Marie almost picked up the victory on Laymon with an high cross body from the top rope, Laymon kicking out at two, and even the Executioner was almost put away as Romeo drove a knee into the downed monster, Executioner lucky that Laymon broke the count.

Eventually Lucas Knight tagged himself in when Marie got close enough to tag her shoulder, and immediately he went to work on Laymon, drilling him with first a double under hook DDT, and then following it up by hanging Laymon on the ropes, and bulldogging him from that position, Laymon just kicking out before three. As Knight lifted his arms with superiority, Romeo managed to get the blind tag, and entered the ring, lifting Laymon and drilling him with his vicious Bitter Sweet DDT. He is just about to pick up the pin when Lucas blind sides him, delivering a low blow to Romeo’s groin.

Marie: What the hell are you doing?

Lucas ignores Marie and slides out the ring, making his way up the ramp

Hunter: Lucas is leaving Marie and Romeo in the lurch

Mackie: No, he’s had enough of their inadequacies, that’s why.

Romeo in the ring tries to get to his feet, but Laymon has tagged in the Executioner

Hunter: Pestilence is going to win, all because of Lucas Knight

The Executioner runs in with a Big Boot, but Romeo somehow ducks, kicking the Executioner in the guts, before delivering another Bitter Sweet. He drops into the pin as Marie Jones hurtles across the ring, Spearing Jessica Wilde

1…

2…

3…

The place erupts as Romeo, even with damaged testicles picks up the victory

Hunter: Massive victory for them both, but you have to say, they will want an explanation from Lucas Knight.

Mackie: Why should he? They won, no point crying again

Camera pans back to Romeo who rolls out the ring, Marie already making her way to the back

P Clarence Whitman III walks through the backstage area with his betrothed Lois. Whitman looks almost giddy with excitement.

Clarence: Cannot wait till our wedding next week, and the fact that is live on RIOT, to thousands that will be able to share our joy…

Lois: I know Clarence, I’m excited too

Clarence: Well, I have to say you don’t look it, what’s wrong?

Lois: Look, I wanted everything to be perfect, I accepted the benefits of this arrangement, however, Leeland Gaunt as the reverend, what were you thinking?

Clarence: My dear, it’s like this…

He is just about to explain when they both realize that Sinistry are stood in their way

Ba’al: Well, if it isn’t Clarence the cowardly Lion

Jaina: I know, can you believe this guy

Rachel: How can anyone respect someone who is no more than the Blacklist’s punching bag?

Ba’al: And someone who can be so easily manipulated to do your bidding. Pathetic

Lois stands up, getting in the face of Ba’al

Lois: You cannot talk to him like this. Clarence is an amazingly courageous individual. Clarence, do something about this

Clarence doesn’t move, except for him biting his tongue and lowering his head

“That’s right…P.Wiggy is THE MAN!!!”

Simon Cagero steps into the shot, standing between Clarence and Ba’al

Cagero: Clarence is the epitome of bravery, a man that every single one of us should aspire to be. I assure you Ba’al, Clarence isn’t afraid of an ignorant troll like you. In fact, I heard him say just the other day that you Ba’al are nothing more than an anemic People’s Court watching tool, and that he could kick your ass into next week any day he chose.

Whitman: STOP IT!!!

Clarence loses it, and swings for Simon, who reacts, ducking the shot. The hook however slams into Ba’al face, knocking him backwards, staggering back and clutching his mouth. He grins, as his eyes turn to Clarence who immediately apologizes for his error.

Clarence: I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean it

Jaina and Rachel are not having it however, and they grab him under the arms

Ba’al: Ladies, could you please escort Mr Whitman to the ring?

Lois: NO, leave him alone

Cagero grabs Lois, pulling her back

Cagero: No, stay here, Clarence has got this don’t worry.

Ba’al just laughs, following Jaina and Rachel to the ring.

Marcus Mayfield is with Kathryn Pearson, going through what he saw earlier.

Kathryn: You sure?

Marcus: I couldn’t believe it myself Kath, but she was definitely talking to Lukas Montgomery. And there were no raised voices, it all seemed pretty civil to me

Kathryn: Yvonne has never trusted her, and it looks like she might be right. Whatever, I’m going to get to the bottom of this.

Marcus: How you going to do that?

Kathryn: By confronting her, it’s the only way

They are interrupted as Danny Darko steps into shot.

Danny Darko: Kathryn, Marcus…I need to talk to you about the tag match tonight

Kathryn and Marcus are too involved in their troubles however, and they outright ignore him, wanting to find Blayze and in turn answer. They walk out the room, leaving Danny alone, who raises his eyebrow, an indignant expression filling his face.

Mackie: Does anyone listen to Danny Darko?

Hunter: I don’t think so, but at the moment we have bigger problems, Clarence Whitman being dragged to the ring

Clarence is kicking and thrashing to get lose, but their grip is too strong. He is eventually deposited in the ring, and Ba’al slides in after him. Ba’al drops to both knees, and interlocks his hands on his head, inviting Whitman to attack, Jaina and Rachel having let him go but only stopping him from leaving.

Ba’al: Come on Whitman, do it, be a man

Whitman shakes his head

Ba’al: COME ON!!! Even your wife to be put up a better fight than this.

Whitman still refuses to fight, Ba’al standing up and getting right in his face

Ba’al: You’re a little man Clarence, a gutless coward that doesn’t deserve a strong woman

Whitman backs into the corner, cowering

Ba’al: You’re pathetic Sir, the meek, they shall never inherit the earth, the strong, and they will rise. And you Clarence are the epitome of the weakness in this company.

Ba’al slides out the ring, Jaina and Rachel laughing as they following, Clarence still cowering in the corner

Hunter: That was horrible

Mackie: Clarence just got mind fucked by Ba’al, and didn’t do a damn thing about it.

Kloe is in her office, Romeo and Marie Jones stood in front of her desk.

Marie: Look Kloe, I’ve been a champion wherever I have gone, since I have been around here I have conducted my business professionally, and the way a champion should

Romeo: So what, so have I? What makes you so special?

Marie: The way I looked after you in that tag match, that’s how

Romeo: Oh were you protecting me when Lucas hit me in the balls? Good job there Marie

Marie: You were obviously not looking what you were doing…I knew we couldn’t trust Lucas, so should you. I would be a world champion the IWC could respect, not like you, or Knight

Romeo: Oh please, who just won that match for our team huh? Me…the next world champion

Kloe: Children…please

Both of them stop arguing and turn to Kloe

Kloe: There is a perfectly simple way of doing this, in fact, I’m glad I thought about it

Romeo: Really?

Kloe: Yeah, as you know, we have a massive PPV coming up in a few weeks.

Marie: Invictus right?

Kloe: One and the same, so how’s about this? At Invictus on the biggest stage of them all, Fatal Four Way for the right to be the number one contender to the World Heavyweight title. Romeo Damacus, versus Marie Jones, versus Lucas Knight, versus Ba’al…that satisfactory?

Marie: Very…thank you Miss Masters

Marie leaves, Romeo leaning on the desk

Romeo: It should be me by right, but I’ll win your little contendership Kloe, you’ll see

Kloe: Indeed I will

Romeo then leaves, Kloe watching and shaking her head as he does

Hunter: Before the break we had another massive announcement, as Kloe put together a huge four way for the number one contendership…Romeo, Lucas, Marie and Ba’al will go at it at Invictus.

Mackie: Kloe showing her metal this evening, and showing she has a real head for this business

Hunter: Invictus really starting to take shape now Dave…and is guaranteed to be the highest draw in IWC history.

Brittany is pictured still searching the parking lot

Brittany: Alana, I’m getting really tired of this now. You want your match, you got it, but you still had to shout off your mouth when you thought I wasn’t listening. Now how’s about you come out here and reveal this horrors that are going to haunt me forever

Hunter: Brittany determined to find Alana…but not having much luck

Mackie: She’s back there somewhere, but I thought she would have found her by now

Hunter: Is the Parking lot that big?

Mackie: It must be huge, either that or Brittany is looking with her eyes closed, common mistake.

Hunter: It’s already been a massive, historic night tonight, and it’s about to get even bigger, and new guard takes on legend, Countess Nevena versus Jackson Adams is next up

Mackie: And I’ve been dying to see the Countess in action

Jackson’s music hits over the PA system and he makes his way down to ringside, confidently speaking to some of the fans and pointing to his ‘IWC Original’ tee shirt. No sooner as he arrives in the ring, the Countess appears, flanked by her body guard Viktor. The pair of them make their way down, Jackson eyeing them all the way.

Hunter: This has all the potential to be quite a match up, and Jackson looks eager to take this upstart down

The referee is just about to call for the bell, when Tyson Galloway’s music hits, and the big man appears at the top of the ramp, immediately making their way towards the ring.

Hunter: Tyson has had a massive issue with Jackson of late, and it all came to a head on RIOT, and it seems that Cross and Tyson are going to join us for commentary

Mackie: Finally, some intelligence befitting my stature…welcome Mr Cross

Cross: Thank you for having us

Tyson just sits down silently with his arms crossed

Hunter: I know many people are asking, why did Tyson double cross Jackson last week on RIOT?

Cross: Double cross…is that what you believe?

Hunter: We all saw it

Cross: Jackson wasn’t double crossed, he just got exactly what had been coming to him. You have seen the way he arrogantly puts down all the new talent to the IWC. The talent that will be this companies future. He treats them like trash, and he needed to be shown the error of his ways. Look, even now he is shouting abuse in our direction

True enough, Jackson is spitting venom in their direction, but the distraction costs him, as the Countess has Viktor attack the ‘original’, the body guard landing some heavy hits, before the referee forces him away, and calls for the bell

Hunter: Looks like we can finally get underway gents

COUNTESS NEVENA VERSUS JACKSON ADAMS

The Countess took advantage of this in the early going, pummeling on Adams who couldn’t recover from the beating he had already endured. The Countess used her speed to confused Adams, and keeps him from gaining any momentum, trapping Jackson in the corner with a Corner Clothesline, and then following it up with a series of closed fist punches which rendered Jackson helpless. The Countess then set up and delivered the Darkest Hour, her version of a Scissor DDT, which almost picked up the victory, but from which Jackson did well to power out at two. Getting more and more confident, the Countess going for Tagged, but as she jumped from the ropes, Jackson scouted and ducked under the move, quickly moving towards the Countess and hooking her in a Sharp Shooter, the Countess scrambling for the ropes but unable to reach them. The referee would ask her several times, but Nevena refused to quit, and eventually would get close enough to the ropes for the break.

The IWC Original then got up a head of steam, throwing the Countess into the ropes and then scooping her up, delivering a Running Power Slam. Jackson then continued to work on the damaged back, using a Spine Buster, before throwing the Countess into the corner face first, then driving his knee into the small of her spine. A Reverse Suplex continued the assault, and left the Countess on the mat and struggling, and allowed Jackson to climb the turnbuckle, looking for a big Splash, however with the referee checking on the Countess, Viktor managed to intervene, and pushed Jackson from his elevated position and to the mats below.

Hunter: Jackson in some kind of trouble here

Mackie: And it seems like Tyson wants to take a closer look

Cross: Just a look…thats all.

Tyson stands close to Jackson as the Countess slides out the ring, picking Jackson up and bailing him into the security barracades. She then turns to Galloway, remonstrating with the big man as the referee counts

1…
2…
3…
4…

Jackson gets to his feet, and he also begins arguing with Galloway, who shrugs them both off, walking back towards the announce table.

5…
6…
7…

Jackson spins around, Galloway thinking he is being attacked and swinging, Jackson managing to duck and Nevena taking the impact.

Hunter: What a shot…and the Countess took the full brunt

8…

Jackson grabs a hold of Galloway and pushes him backwards, the two of them falling over the barracades

9…
10…

The referee calls for the bell, and slides out the ring shaking his head, as security pulls Galloway away from Jackson

Hunter: The Countess inadvertantly clocked by Galloway, and this issue between Tyson and Jackson continues to escalate.

Jackson and Tyson continue to have a go at each other as Nevena makes her way to the back

We cut too backstage, where Marcus Mayfield is sat in Kathryn’s dressing room trying to reason with her

Pearson: She can’t be allowed to continue with this bull, she’s tricking everyone, she nearly tricked me

Mayfield: It could have been nothing though

Pearson: Look sweetie, I know you like to see the best in people, I’m usually the same, but there is just too much pointing at her right now. The phone, the attack a couple of weeks ago, talking to Montgomery, something is up there and I’m going to get to the bottom of it before anyone else gets caught up in her web of deceit.

Mayfield: But…

Kathryn puts her finger on his lips

Pearson: Look, I know you are looking out for me, but I need to do this

Pearson turns on her heels and heads for the dressing room door. For a moment Marcus just stands there, but then he runs after her. As they walk he continues to plead with her

Mayfield: But you could be totally wrong about her what then?

Pearson: Then we get it all cleared up

Mayfield: This really could go south, you know that right?

Pearson: I think it already has…I won’t let my friend be tricked by her, no way

They reach Amanda’s dressing room door, and Marcus puts his arm across it

Mayfield: Please. Kathryn, think about this

Pearson: I have Marcus…this is the right thing to do

Marcus sighs, and moves his arm away, as Pearson storms right into Amanda’s locker room

We return and cut to Mark Corneau in the back, stood next to none other than Jackson Adams. Jackson looks understandably furious after what happened earlier.

Corneau: Jackson, you requested this time, what do you have to say?

Jackson: Well, I would have thought that was obvious, but it seems that someone seems to have developed a problem with the way I deal with the rookies around here. Apparently I talk down to them, put them down at every opportunity, and Tyson, being a big girl by the sounds of it, don’t have the balls to man up and take it. Tyson Galloway is trying to make a statement Mark, he trying to be the big man for the newbies, and is looking to take out the biggest star in the business to make a name. I get that, on some levels I respect that, and that’s why I have an offer

Corneau: An offer?

Jackson: See, Tyson has gotten me all wrong, I’m all for opportunities for the new guys, and as I’m feeling generous, if Galloway wants to make a statement that much, why not do it at the biggest PPV of them all?

Corneau: Invictus?

Jackson: Oh yeah Mark, so how’s about this Tyson, Invictus, you and I…Tables are Legal. Accept, and make your statement Tyson

The scene fades on Jackson’s grinning face

Hunter: Invictus just gets bigger and bigger…will Tyson accept?

Kathryn Pearson storms into Amanda Blayze’s locker room, Marcus stood right behind her. Amanda sees them coming, but she is talking on her IPhone.

Amanda: Yeah, I know right, amazing really it is

Pearson coughs, but Blayze rolls her eyes and continues to talk and then turns her back on her. Kathryn’s eyes widen, and she looks at Marcus, not believing what just happened

Amanda: Could be worse…hey

Pearson spins her around and rips the phone from her grasp, putting it to her ear

Pearson: She’ll ring you back later

She throws the phone on the sofa, turning back to Blayze

Amanda: What the hell?

Pearson: Don’t Amanda, just don’t. I know what you are up to, I KNOW why you turned your back on Unity. I didn’t understand it at the time, but I perfectly clear now.

Amanda: Really?

Pearson: Yes, you’re in collusion with the Blacklist, you are working with them.

Amanda: That’s why you made me hang up

Pearson: Yes, don’t try to deny it

Amanda rubs her temples, and then her eyes, the onset of a migraine taking hold

Amanda: This is beyond ridiculous Kathryn

Pearson: Is it? I knew you were bad, I could see it in you, but I didn’t realize how bad to the core you were. Attacks from behind, I can just about tolerate that, but spitting in Ivy’s face, someone who wanted to see the best in you, disrespecting her offers for you to join Unity…attack me, sure no issue, but when you attack my friends, the people I care about, you will bring a totally different side to me you don’t want to meet.

Amanda smirks, still not believing this is happening. Kathryn is now too angry, and reacts by slapping her across the face, Blayze reeling backwards, before diving forwards, dragging Kathryn to the floor. Kathryn then spins her around, and lands a couple of shots, before finally Marcus gets hold of her and drags her away

Pearson: You’ll pay for this Blayze; you’ll pay for this disrespect

Amanda just rubs her jaw, shaking her head

Hunter: Kathryn Pearson taking matters into her own hands

Mackie: And possibly biting off more than she can chew. What has Amanda done anyways?

Hunter: Disrespected Unity, it doesn’t get any worse than that as far as Pearson is concerned. And talking about disrespect, up next, its Porno Lad versus Mr Hush…Porno could be about to lose his hair

PORNO LAD VERSUS MR HUSH

With the Harem in Porno’s corner, and Silence and AI in Mr Hush’s, the match kicked off with Porno very much the aggressor, for once relying on only his wrestling to get the job done, taking control with a Spinning Heel Kick which connected perfectly with Hush’s jaw, Porno picking up only a one count. Porno would then execute a drop kick, which rebounded Hush into the ropes, but he responded with a Running Knee which send Porno sprawling and through the ropes to the outside landing at the feet of the Black Crusade. The Harem was quickly there, and a brawl started, and whilst the referee was distracted, on the outside Porno clobbered Mr Hush with a steel chair. He then rolled Hush back into the ring, and picked up a two count, almost getting the cheap victory

Porno then once again took control, but with every move he got more and more arrogant. Egged on by the Harem, he went to the top, looking for a Frog Splash. As he leapt however, Hush lifted his leg, Porno winding himself long enough for Hush to pick him up and deliver the Stonehenge Suplexes. With the crowd loving every moment, Hush then went for the Hush, the crowd spelling out his name, as he delivered his version of the worm, picking up another two count in the process

Hunter: This has been a surprisingly good match, but Porno is in a world of trouble now. Hold on, the Harem taking matters into their own hands here and attacking the Black Crusade.

Silence is the one that takes a he impact, Kordy dropping her into the steel steps with a Tornado DDT. Hush jumps to his feet, distracted by the attack, but doesn’t see Porno behind him, jumping up onto his back and then falling backwards, driving his knees into Mr Hush’s spine. Porno then hooks the leg

1…

2…

3…

Boo’s rain down, but for no reason, as the referee puts up two fingers, Hush having kicked out. At that point Total War in the ring, and attack the Harem, only Kordy managing to escape their wrath by hiding away whilst her colleagues get decimated by Total War. Porno Lad sees this destruction, and realizes it is only a matter of time before they turn their attention to him, and slides out the ring, backing up the ramp and the chaos continues. The referee starts to count, as Hush looks on.

1…
2…
3…
4…

Porno Lad stops for a moment

Hunter: Porno getting out of dodges, but looks like he may be having second thoughts

5…
6…
7…

Porno lifts his hands indignantly, and heads towards the curtain

8…
9…
10…

The bell rings, and the referee lifts Mr Hush’s arm aloft. Total War continue their assault on the Harem, fighting through the fans

Hunter: Hush picks up a victory here, but Porno is getting away before his head can be shaved

As Porno watches, TP Kid shows up behind him, baseball bat in hand. At the wrong moment Porno turns, TP Kid smashing him in the head with the bat, before grabbing him by the hair and leading him back to the ring.

Hunter: TP Kid taking matters into his own hands here, and he’s going to make sure Porno loses his hair

Mackie: This is wrong, someone do something

As they reach the bottom of the ramp, Kordy attacks TP Kid, giving Porno just long enough to escape and run up the ramp. Kordy goes to do the same, but TP Kid grabs her, and with a massive grin on his face throws her in the ring. Silence and AI grab her, as TP Kid slides in the ring.

Hunter: No, you don’t think…do you?

Mackie: This is sick…Porno, do something

Porno’s eyes widen, knowing what is about to happen. In the ring AI and TP Kid each hold an arm, as Silence lifts the shears aloft, and starts to shave Kordy’s hair.

Hunter: This is horrible, that poor girl

Kordy screams in anguish as locks of hair are removed. On the ramp way Porno Lad is going crazy, but is unable to do anything about it. More and more of Kordy’s hair fall on the apron as the scene cuts

Taylor is pictured, stretching ahead of her match later on in the evening, a huge title match against Katelyn Buehler. She looks focused and ready for perhaps her biggest challenge so far. As she warms up, a knock is heard at the door, Cassidy Haze entering

Taylor: What do you want Cassidy; I don’t have time for this right now?

Cassidy: Ah I see, I’m sorry were you expecting someone else?

Taylor lowers her head, continuing her warm up.

Taylor: I thought Brittany might show that is all

Cassidy: I’m sure she would love to be here Taylor, but Boss-Lady is busy dealing with that irritant Alana Starr right now.

Taylor: I see, so be it

Cassidy: Got to say though Taylor, I for one was truly overwhelmed with joy to see you finally come out of your shell on NewAge. To see you indulging that monster inside you, it warmed me, it really did, and I know it did Brittany as well. You’ll need that inner monster if you are to defeat Legion at Invictus.

Cassidy pulls out a crow bar and hands it to Taylor

Cassidy: Send a message tonight Taylor, send it to Legion, to the Blacklist…to everyone. You need to use Buehler; you need her blood on your hands. You do this, and you can defeat Legion…you know it as well as anyone. I’m giving you this crow bar on behalf of Brittany, and I’m doing it because I need to get back in her good graces, as I’m not willing to let the Boss-Lady go just yet. That said, you know you need to do this Taylor, it’s the only way.

Taylor looks at the crow bar in her hands, and then at Cassidy who is nodding her head, leaving Taylor to think it over

Hunter: Welcome back to what has been a tumultuous NewAge folks, and we saw before the break, Taylor our World Champion, contemplating the unthinkable.

Mackie: Legion won’t hold back Paul, she needs the monster within, and Cassidy and Brittany are just helping her to find it

Hunter: Even so, Taylor doesn’t need those methods, and one has to think she would regret using that crow bar

Finally Brittany Lohan finds what she has been looking for, the car on which Alana Starr was power bombed all those months ago at a GDW event. Just before she reaches it, she is attacked from behind, Alana ramming her forearm into the back of her head, and then kicking her in the gut, before ramming her head into the concrete. She then picks her up, and holds her in position.

Alana: Payback time Brittany…

She is just about to deliver a power bomb when Lohan uses her superior strength and back drops Alana onto the trunk instead; Alana’s back taking the full impact. Brittany then hops up onto the trunk and hooks both arms, ready to hit the Final Solution. Before she can, Gavin Taylor and Adam Chase appear

Gavin: Brittany, you don’t need to do this

Adam: This is beneath you Brittany; think about it, this isn’t who you are

Brittany: Oh, but it is Adam

Gavin: Brittany, just think about this for a moment, here, or at the biggest PPV ever?

Brittany thinks about it for a moment, still looking like she is going to hit the move. Finally she drops her, dropping to her knees at the side of Alana

Brittany: Think yourself lucky Alana, but this is only a temporary respite. I WILL end this at Invictus, you can count on it.

Hunter: Alana getting what she wanted, but Brittany showing her dominance. You have to say, is this match at Invictus a good idea?

Mackie: Personally, I would say no, Brittany is the most dominant female on this roster…Starr is letting her emotions rule her head

Hunter: Revenge is a dangerous motive Mackie, but sometimes it’s just better to drop it. Now it’s time for our penultimate match, we got tag team action coming up, with a lot going on in the buildup.

PEARSON/MAYFIELD VERSUS MONTGOMERY/DARKO

The early going of this match was all Kathryn and Marcus, as the pair of them targeted Montgomery who found himself in the corner more than he would have liked. Marcus delighted the crowd by taking out his frustrations on Lukas in the right way, using his mat skills to render Montgomery’s strength useless. Once Marcus had slowed down the match with takedowns, a highlight being an Octopus submission which Montgomery barely escaped, Kathryn then entered the fray, and with her aerial offence kept Montgomery in trouble. However, as Kathryn went for a Springboard High Cross Body, Montgomery saw it coming, and rather than be taken down by the move, he turned it into a devastating Running Power Slam. Montgomery then crawled over to his corner, finally able to get the tag

Hunter: Montgomery has not been in this match, but if he gets out here, his team is back in it

Mackie: And Darko is just as dangerous as his partner…Kathryn needs to think about the tag as well.

Lukas reaches up to get the tag but Darko holds back, refusing the tag. Lukas gets to his feet, shouting at Darko, but Darko shakes his head

Darko: So now you want to acknowledge me huh? I don’t think so Lukas

Danny drops down off the apron, as Mayfield grabs Lukas, drilling him with a spine buster, and then hitting the Spin Cycle.

Hunter: Ohhh, what a shot from Marcus, this could be all over

Mayfield is just about to go for the pin when Amanda Blayze appears at the top of the ramp, holding her jaw and pointing at Kathryn. Pearson jumps off the apron and heads up the ramp, the pair of them starting to fight on the ramp way. Mayfield shouts up towards Kathryn, whilst behind him Lukas gets to his feet, a grin filling his face.

Hunter: Behind you Marcus…

Mackie: Haha, Amanda has screwed over Pearson again by distracting Mayfield.

Montgomery prepares himself, readying the Quieter on an unaware Marcus Mayfield. Lukas lifts his hand, and is just about to do it when Danny Darko spins him around, destroying him with the Last Rites. The referee doesn’t see this, distracted by what is going on up the ramp, and Darko slides out the ring, and makes his way past the brawling girls shaking his head. Mayfield turns around, not sure what has happened, and picks up Lukas.

Mackie: Oh come on, this isn’t fair

Mayfield picks him up, and hits the Spin Cycle for a second time, before dropping into a cover

1…

2…

3…

The place erupts as Mayfield picks up the victory for his team

Hunter: What a match, and what a victory for Mayfield and Pearson, not that Kathryn knows anything about it.

Mayfield makes his way out the ring and up the ramp as we cut to backstage

Katelyn Buehler is seen walking down the corridor towards the ring; her eyes are focused, knowing precisely what it is she needs to do.

Hunter: Katelyn has waited a long time for this

Mackie: Too long some might say

Hunter: But tonight, she finally gets the opportunity she has been waiting for, a one on one match with the champion. And boy does she look focused

Mackie: And so she should. She knows that if she messes this up, she won’t get another for a long time.

Hunter: She has to believe she can do this, if she doesn’t, then she doesn’t stand a chance

Mackie: And I think she does, she really believes she can win the world championship?

Hunter: And that match, possibly the biggest in NewAge history is now just moments away.

As the scene continues, Hurse steps from behind a corner, following Katelyn towards the ring unnoticed

The Blacklist is talking amongst them, but their words cannot be heard. The camera tries to get closer, but Aaron Harrison stops it, pushing it back

Hunter: The Blacklist in some kind of meeting, are they talking about the world title match in just a few moments?

Mackie: Who knows, one thing is for sure it can’t be good

Hunter: Damn right, if they are plotting, that cannot be good news for Katelyn and the champion. I guess we will find out soon enough, because the World Championship is on the line, right after this break

Alana: Payback time Brittany…

Gavin: Brittany, you don’t need to do this

Adam: This is beneath you Brittany; think about it, this isn’t who you are

Brittany: Oh, but it is Adam

Gavin: Brittany, just think about this for a moment, here, or at the biggest PPV ever?

Brittany thinks about it for a moment, still looking like she is going to hit the move. Finally she drops her, dropping to her knees at the side of Alana

Brittany: Think yourself lucky Alana, but this is only a temporary respite. I WILL end this at Invictus, you can count on it.

We return to backstage, where Shaun Cruze is sat on the side of a stretcher, holding the small of his back

EMT: Seems you have gotten lucky again Mr Cruze, bit of bruising but you should be fine

Shaun nods, as Orlando Cruze steps into view, turning to the EMT

Orlando: Is he OK?

EMT: He will be…just banged up a little, he’ll live

Orlando turns back to Shaun

Orlando: Shaun, this can’t continue, really it can’t

Shaun: What do you mean?

Orlando: This fight the good fight thing, you have enough on your plate in the SCW without worrying about here.

Shaun: You got to be kidding right, this is my home

Orlando: No Shaun, no it isn’t, and I can’t have you going off like this, and keep getting hurt. I can’t keep a look out for you, and it seems the Blacklist have just as much an issue with you, as they do me

Shaun: I don’t give a shit Lando, you need me to help you here. I’m going to be one of your partners at Invictus when we claim back the IWC

Orlando shakes his head

Orlando: No Shaun, no your not

Shaun looks over Orlando’s shoulder and see’s two members of security

Shaun: What are they here for?

Orlando: Just in case you disagree

Shaun: Disagree with what?

Orlando: As of this moment Shaun, I am banning you from being at any IWC event. That is either in the crowd, or in the backstage area. You even sniff the Manhattan Center, or any of the PPV venues, and I will tell my guys to throw you out

Shaun: You’re kidding me right?

Orlando: No Shaun, you are building a career of your own, away from having to deal with my problems. Go and claim what is rightfully yours, and don’t worry whats going on here. Just be my brother, that’s all I want

Shaun: That’s all I’m trying to do Orlando, please don’t do this

Orlando: Shaun, I have to…you can watch me tear the Blacklist apart on PPV

Shaun stands wincing just a little as he does, and holds out his hand which his brother takes, before bringing him in for a hug. As they part the security guys move in, and Shaun nods towards his brother

Shaun: Good luck Orlando…finish this yeah

Orlando: I will Shaun…and thank you

Shaun heads towards the back doors, and through them, the camera following as he looks back on more time at the arena, before walking off and towards the parking lot

Hunter: I don’t believe it…Orlando has banned his brother from being a part of the IWC, just a week after there were rumours of him signing full time

Mackie: He sees his brother as a liability thats for sure, and one he can’t carry any more

Alana is pictured seated with her back against the front of the car.

Gavin: Are you OK Alana?

She doesn’t respond, concentrating only on the phone in her hand

Chase: Alana, are you alright, do you want me to get someone for you?

Alana continues to pay them no notice, listening to someone on the other end before finally speaking

Alana: OK, so answer me this, are you ready to come to RIOT?

Mark Corneau is pretty much getting ready to leave, when Amanda Blayze collars him, spinning him around

Amanda: That camera, is it on?

Mark nods, hastily grabbing his microphone and switching it on

Mark: What you got to say Amanda, make it quick though I got reservations

Amanda: Oh, I’ll make it quick alright. Kathryn Pearson, I don’t know what the hell your problem is, and I don’t care. However, I am always up for a fight. So, you’re little challenge for Invictus, yeah, you got it…I accept. However, there is juist one proviso for such a match. See, I don’t want the X-Class title, I doesn’t even figure on my radar, so heres my proposal. At Invictus, we have a two out of three falls match, the first fall, well thats all about respect, the second for a match against Lohan, and the final fall, well thats where we face off for the title. Up to you Kathryn, I’ll be waiting for your answer

Hunter: Intrigue, who was Alana speaking to?

Mackie: Who knows? I reckon she must be calling in back up in her battle with Brittany Lohan. And what the hell is Amanda thinking, why would anyone want to face Brittany?

Hunter: That situation threatening to escalate out of hand, but that’s for another time Mackie, because it’s time for our main event, an historic, huge main event as well

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
TAYLOR CHASE-CRUZE VERSUS KATELYN BUEHLER

Satisfied by Social Code hits over the PA system and Katelyn Buehler walks through the curtain to a huge reaction from the New York crowd. Katelyn slides under the bottom rope, and climbs a turnbuckle, enjoying the ovation

Hunter: Katelyn has come a long way in a short space of time, and she had earned the respect of these fans

Mackie: Rightly so, Leeland Gaunt it was that put her on the right path, and since that moment she has been super impressive. Hold on…

Hurse appears through the curtain and makes his way down to the ring, Katelyn protesting as he does.

Hunter: Hurse is here and Buehler really not happy about this, and it seems Hurse is adament he will be here for her. Now we just need our champion…

The Center erupts in boos as the Blacklist walk through the curtain, all four of them grinning from ear to ear

Hunter: OH no…not now, please no

Mackie: Guess we know what they were planning now Paul

Hurse takes a deep breath and cuts them off at the bottom of the ramp, going to war with Aaron and Mika, whilst Gary and Lukas go after Katelyn. Hurse smashes his forearm into the face of Mika, but is then grabbed and spun around by Aaron. Hurse follows that up with a kick to the gut, grabbing Aaron’s head, but then receiving a shot to the groin from Mika. In the ring, Katelyn whips Lukas into the ropes, and he bounces back with a high cross body, but Katelyn ducks, Lukas crashing into Gary.

Hunter: Katelyn avoiding a shot there, and now she’s looking to help Hurse.

Katelyn makes over to the ropes, but Gary grabs her, whipping her across the ring and into Lukas who destroys her with a Clothesline. Outside the ring, Hurse is dropped into the steel steps by Aaron, as Mika pulls out the Singapore Cane from under the ring. Matt and Lukas hold Katelyn’s arms out to her side, as Mika slides into the ring

Mika: Ah, young Katelyn, young innocent Katelyn, Mr Gaunt didn’t warn you about this did he? I’m afraid you won’t be challenging my dearest sister for the World title tonight, I will. And I’m going to make damn sure we see the beast rise from the depths of her soul.

Before Mika can hit Katelyn with the cane, Danny Darko hurtles down the ring, sliding under the ropes and ducking a shot from Aaron, drilling Matt with a brutal Spear. Darko then continues to assault Matt, until the Blacklist drag him off, the four of them taking turns at firing the boots in on Darko who does his best to repel the attack

Hunter: Danny Darko going after Gary Matt, but then getting obliterated by the Blacklist.

Aaron pulls Darko to his feet, only for Lukas to pick him up, and drill him with a Power Bomb in the center of the ring

Mackie: And that’s that particular resurgence ended the Blacklist cleaning shop.

Katelyn is pulled to her feet, and drilled to the floor with a DDT. As they do, Taylor finally appears from the back, tentatively making her way down the ramp, the fans going crazy

Hunter: Taylor coming to the ring, knowing what awaits her.

Mackie: And the Blacklist have seen her too…and are inviting her into the ring

Taylor nips up onto the apron, glaring at Mika and the rest of the Blacklist. Aaron eggs her on, goading her into entering the ring

Hunter: She can’t enter; she will get destroyed in there.

Mackie: What choice does she have?

Suddenly, slowly, Taylor draws the crow bar out of her waist band, and bends under the bottom ropes, immediately driving the crowbar into the gut of Gary Matt

Hunter: Taylor’s got the crow bar…and Matt is in serious trouble here.

Taylor swings the crow bar at anything which moves, Montgomery getting a shot to his thigh which deadens his leg. He then fires off a shot at Aaron who narrowly ducks a shot from hitting him fully in the face. Gary Matt crawls to the ropes, pulling himself up on the ropes, Taylor stalking him

Mackie: Watch out Gary

Hunter: Look at Taylor’s eyes

Taylor’s eyes are narrowed, as she lifts the crow bar, only for Mika to drive the cane in the middle of the World Champions back, causing her to drop the crow bar. Mika then starts beating on her, bringing the cane down over and over again, smashing it into the back of her sister. She then picks up the mic, her eyes almost glazed over

Mika: You have to accept your demons Taylor…still, even now; you haven’t allowed the monster within you to show it.

Hunter: Look at her; she wants to destroy Taylor here

Mackie: Are you surprised?

The lights dim, and when they come back on the place erupts, as Legion is stood in the center of the ring. Aaron, Lukas and Gary react quickly, sliding out of the ring, but Mika isn’t quick enough, and Legion grabs her, holding her by the back of the neck and her tights, and bailing her over the ramps and onto the Blacklist members. Legion just stares at the Blacklist, almost daring them to intervene. They don’t and instead watch at ringside as Legion turns to Taylor

Hunter: Legion has saved the Champion again, this is becoming a habit.

The fans cheer for Legion, as Taylor gets to her feet, Legion watching her carefully.

Mackie: I can’t believe it, why does he keep saving her?

As if to answer that Legion takes a hold of a weakened Taylor, and drills her with Misery II, leaving her in a heap in the center of the ring. Gaunt appears at ringside, shaking his head in disgust, before waving towards the back, Official Fitzpatrick running down the ramp and into the squared circle

Hunter: What the hell, that backstabbing son of a bitch

Mackie: Absolute genius…Chase is now at the mercy of Katelyn

Gaunt: Do what you will Katelyn…all yours

Hunter: He’s given her the world champion on a platter

Legion and Gaunt make their way up the ramp, still staring at the Blacklist who still watch. Buehler stares at the Blacklist at ringside, and then at Gaunt and Legion, before finally looking at Taylor who is out of it. She seems troubled, not knowing whether to go for the pin, or give up on the one thing she had been pursuing for months. Gaunt motions towards Taylor as they both disappear, the Blacklist hanging back, wanting to know what Katelyn is going to do. Katelyn looks out over the crowd, looking for some help, as behind her back Taylor starts to recover. Buehler then stoops down, and slaps her forearm several times, signaling for the KTFO.

Hunter: This is it…

Mackie: She’s going for it; she wants that title more than anything

Katelyn spins around, ready to hit the move, but then she suddenly stops, looking Taylor dead in the eyes

Hunter: Uh ho…

Mackie: Do it now Katelyn.

The lights dim again, the arena left in total darkness

Mackie: Will they stop doing this?

Hunter: Is this Legion again, surely not?

The lights come back on again, and when they do Taylor is down on the canvas holding her face, whilst in Katelyn’s hands is a Gavel.

Hunter: Katelyn just hit Taylor with the Gavel, oh my God, did she want that title that much?

Fitzpatrick seems the weapon in her hand, and immediately calls for the bell, disqualifying Buehler, Taylor retaining the title.

Hunter: Not the way Katelyn wanted this to end…but she is pleading innocence.

Mackie: Of course she is, she was caught red handed.

The camera briefly pans to the top of the ramp, and someone watching from the top of the stage. It doesn’t take people long to realize what has happened, as it is Rachel Foxx who is laughing hysterically. Foxx disappears through the curtain as the referee slides out the ring. Buehler chases after him, grabbing the referee’s shirt and pulling him back, continuing to plead her innocence

Katelyn: I didn’t use it I was set up by Sinistry, you have to believe me

The referee just shakes his head, and continues up the ramp, Katelyn still arguing her point as they disappear.

Hunter: I’d say Katelyn has a point, Rachel Foxx set her up, and once the dust clears, Katelyn is going to want answers from her that’s for sure. But it doesn’t look like we are done yet…oh no

Back in the ring, Mika has Taylor held up, motioning for Gary to get back in the ring. Gary steps up to her and holds her under the jaw, staring into her eyes.

Gary: This is over…it ends here, tonight.

Taylor just smiles, and spits in Gary’s face, bending forwards and throwing Mika over her head and to the canvas. Taylor then picks up the Singapore Cane, and brings it down first on Mika, and then on Gary, whaling them both with the stick, thrashing the ropes, and the fingers of Lukas and Aaron if they trying to enter. Taylor continues the onslaught, the red mist having descended, Taylor going absolutely mental, smashing the cane across their backs.

Hunter: A whole world of frustration coming out her, Mika and Gary being destroyed, and Aaron and Lukas can’t get in to do anything about it

Finally, with a few more shots for good measure, Aaron pulls out Mika, dragging her to the outside, as Lukas does the same to Gary, saving him from permanent damage at the hands of the world champion. That doesn’t stop Taylor however, as she continues to bring the cane down on the canvas, smashing it into the turnbuckle over and over, shouting expletives furiously in the direction of the Blacklist who back up the ramp. She roars at the top of her voice in the center of the ring, staring only at the rafters above

Hunter: This, this is horrible Mackie

Mackie: I don’t know what to say

Hunter: Brittany, Blacklist…you wanted to see it…well there it is, the monster has been unleashed…Goodnight folks

The camera pans back to Taylor, breathing heavily, the battered Singapore Cane still in her hands, her knuckles whitened from the excessive grip
