Carnage 7
The Sound of a distant guitar riff slowly begins to play against the dark background, a gentle FWA symbol emerging from behind it before suddenly a line of fire as if lead by a trail of oil wander into the picture and quickly engulfs the screen! As it does, the guitar riff explodes loudly over the images along with the rest of the instruments, the sound of “One Last Time” by Downstait being played.
With the explosion of music, a ball of fire explodes at the screen, changing the image to that of the World Champion, Glory Braddock, her eyes closed as she lifts the World title aloft and just takes in the energy of the masses around her.
The shot changes again to show Jacob Laymon angrily looking over his shoulder, Rayne Youngs crazy gaze, a steel chair in hand, Angelica Jones glaring intensely down the ramp.
You thought you’d seen the last of me if only that were true
Because now you see I’m standing right in front of you
You thought I’d forgotten everything you did
But I remember, yes I remember
Various non-violent images flash past the screen, including shots of Michael Kyzer, Kirsta Lewis, Riley Addison, Jackson Adams, Priest and Brandy Danielle, but suddenly the guitar riff and the music explode again and Rayne Young can be seen smashing a chair across the head of Lethal Weapon, Jacob Laymon hitting Marie Annabelle with a sharp spinebuster, Kirsta Lewis hitting Brittany Lohan with a nice Hells Bitch Kick.
Give me one last time
To do this over
Give me one last time
To throw it back at you
Give me one last chance
To fuck you over
Give me one last time
Give me one last time
The various finisher shots and violent images continue for a moment until the final image of Riley Addison walking completely into the screen before stepping aside to the live images of the arena, the fans and the show that is forthcoming!
Carnage 7
LIVE, for the first time, EVER From Athens, Greece!
Brody:
Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, WELCOME to Greece, welcome to Athens, WELCOME to FWA Carnage!!
Sweeney:
Holy shit, this people are crazy, listen to this uproar!
Fireworks explode loudly into the air, the whistling of more from the stage causing the entire arena, sold out as you’d expect, to stand to their feet, all of them applauding and leaping up and down, most with signs in their hands, but most also written in Greek. The fans are going nuts, all of them looking down the lens’s of the passing cameras and screaming at their top of their lungs.
Suddenly “Mind Heist” By Zack Hemsey suddenly hits, the huge beating of drums causing the cheers to get even louder as the Titantron of Riley Addison suddenly plays over the big screen, suddenly the curtains pull back, the lights go out and a single spotlight shines down on Addison. The owner waits and looks around the arena at the lighters held in the air, suddenly his music explodes into life, the dramatic chorus not losing its touch at all. He makes his way down the ramp, slapping hands with fans who reach out to him in the front row, he reaches the ring as his music begins to calm again and climbs the ring steps before entering the ring, the spotlights fading as the arena lights return and slowly, the owners music begins to fade and die down, the noise from the greek fans echoing loudly and circling around the arena.
Brody:
Our boss is out here about to start the show!
Sweeney:
Oh joy!
Riley:
Wow, what a crowd!
A loud cheer erupts again as Riley smiles proudly.
Riley:
Well hopefully, you guys will come away cheering as loudly as you are right now by the time the night is done and why wouldn’t you, we got some huge matches tonight! We got a Champion Vs Champion Vs Champion main event, a last survivor wins Elimination Tag Team Match to determine the World Heavyweight Contenders and a gauntlet to get things started no less to work out the rest!
Another cheer goes up as Riley nods, he paces the ring and just looks around the fans as he continues.
Riley:
It seems an eternity ago to me that I was going to make tonight one giant battle royal and lets be honest, had it not been for some Twitter comments and some negative replies from some of the roster, I’d have gone ahead with it and tonight we’d have one giant match, but, I listened to the people, I listened the world around me and didn’t do what some ‘previous’ owners might have done and liked the sound of my own voice, a little to much!
Cheers circle again for this comment as Riley just grins and winks at the camera.
Riley:
Now, some of the other questions that came to me since PRIDE finished up, apart from why I changed this card for tonight’s show include my thoughts on the pay per view that just finished, my thoughts? AMAZING! I watched like all of you, as Rayne and Weapon tore one another apart, I watched as Jacob and Glory fell from that ladder and I watched as we saw new tag team champions, a new Atlantic champion and new names walking in the door, I watched as this company proved it had the metal to stand alongside the memory of the MCW, to battle against the biggest and I watched it with pride – no pun intended.
One thing I didn’t like, was being hit in the head with a steel chair, sure, but sadly, I can’t face the man who did that to me anymore due to unforeseen circumstances, instead, I can only say that the man in question is STILL my friend, still someone I respect and for some reason, I can understand why he did it.
Riley lowers the microphone, his thoughts clearly turning to Lethal Weapon, his expression showing that he clearly isn’t happy that he has lost such a talent at this stage in the companies tenure, however he doesn’t think for long as suddenly “Break” By 3 Days Grace hits the speaker system, the fans just cheer loudly again as the music of Jackson Adams erupts over the speaker system, he suddenly steps out from the back and just stares angrily down the ramp toward Riley Addison, he stomps toward the ring, slapping the hands of the fans around him before rolling under the ropes and grabbing a microphone as his music comes to an end.
Jackson:
I have to be honest and say to you Mr. Addison, good for you. Good for you that you are able to remain friends with the dumb son of a bitch who got himself in so much shit he isn’t able to come and join us on this little European tour you have put us on, good for you that you understand what happened to you and why and good for you Mr. Addison that you still got everything today that you had before the son of a bitch smashed your brains in, but let me explain why I’m out here…
The fans aren’t sure how to take Jackson at the moment, however some continue to cheer.
Jackson:
I’m out here because like you, I got attacked, like you, I got my ass knocked out and my show cut short, but unlike you Riley Addison, I don’t know why the fuck Eli Legacy finds it important to make such a suicidal mistake and I don’t know why anybody, would be stupid enough to cost me yet another World title opportunity for the sake of ‘making a name for themselves’, but instead of us focusing on that, why don’t I just make my point and tell you… Right here, right now, I want Legacy in this ring!
The fans explode with cheers and elation as Jackson just lowers the microphone and taunts Eli to come down from the back and meet him in the middle of the ring, but Riley quickly lifts his hands in appeal to Jackson.
Riley:
Jackson, you know that can’t happen! You aren’t cleared to come back until the next show and you and I both know that. Ok, sure, you might want Eli in this ring, but I’m sorry, you’re just going to have to wait.
Jackson:
Bullshit, I feel fine, let me have him now!
Riley:
I don’t give a damn how you ‘feel’ Jackson, I give a damn what the doctors ‘tell me’ and right now, the doctors say you cannot compete in this ring, so I’m sorry, it isn’t going to happen tonight.
Boo’s explode from every angle of the arena as Jackson just angrily lowers his head, shaking it in a fury as he tries to control his buildings levels of rage.
Riley:
Look, at Carnage 8, let me make it up to you, because I’ll let you have your revenge, at Carnage 8 we’ll make it Jackson Adams one on one with Eli Legacy in the middle of this ring! You want him, he’s yours? Hows that? Justice?
Jackson suddenly grins from ear to ear and nods happily at Riley’s decision but as he does “Megadeath – Countdown to Extinction” suddenly plays through the speakers, Jacob just walks out from the fans, the boos exploding louder than ever as Rayne Young appears alongside him, both men looking a little confused and uncertain. They walk down the ramp and just slowly approach the ring before leaping onto the apron and entering the ring, both men have microphones in hand, but Rayne is the first to lift it.
Rayne:
Maybe we heard wrong Riley, but between us, we just thought you said, ‘justice’.
Riley:
I did.
Jacob:
Really!?! You want to bring up Justice, was it justice how Glory Braddock STOLE my World Heavyweight Championship title from me when the cameras weren’t looking? Was it justice when she unfairly tugged the title from my hands when nobody saw and cost me my reign at the top of this company? Was it?
Riley:
Do you have proof she did that?
Jacob:
I don’t need proof you little jackass, I am proof! The title isn’t around my waist and lets face it, it should be, if you need ‘proof’ of injustice, just look at the lack of gold around my waist!
Rayne:
And if you want further proof, why not take a look around this arena? Do you see Lethal Weapon around anywhere, huh? Do you? He beats me cheaply at PRIDE and then does a runner, escapes, because he heard that me and Jacob had formed, he heard that I was pissed and he couldn’t handle another beating like what I gave him!
More boo’s circle the arena loudly as Riley just leans back in the corner of the ring and takes in what they are both saying, Jackson in the adjacent corner, doing the same thing, remaining quiet, but listening intently.
Riley:
Sounds to me like sour grapes, but you know what, before you reply to that. Tonight, you both have a chance to put those issues to one side and compete for the World Title contendership, an opportunity to go to the next pay per view, no gimmicks, no clusterfucks, just one on one, World title on the line. That I promise.
Jacob:
Frankly your promises mean shit to me, but I know what tonight means, I’m not as stupid as you look! But fine, if I got to destroy people all over again to make my point, I will and once again, I’ll compete for the World title and if your promise does stand for something, I’ll prove to the world once and for all that Glory Braddock is a champion on borrowed time!
Rayne:
Funny, because I might respect you Riley, I might respect your decisions, your ownership, your words and your promises, I might do… if you were a real man. Don’t get me wrong, I am thankful for you undoing those handcuffs for me, but bottom line, that’s the least I expect from an owner who wants to see a quality product, you did what you had to. But to come out here and say ‘you understand’ and he is still ‘your friend’, Wow, I’m actually ready to puke!
“We want Weapon” starts to circle the arena for a moment as the fans stand up and vocally strike against the ‘Aftermath’ duo of Rayne Young and Jacob Laymon, but Jacob grins and glares around at the fans.
Jacob:
Keep wanting him, because your rapist hero isn’t here and won’t be coming here!
Boo’s then erupt as Jacob just shakes his head in disbelief at the idiocy of the fans around him.
Riley:
Good stuff, now if your finished, fancy fucking off?
Cheers erupt as Riley just steps forward, approaching the two men who just stop in there tracks and glare angrily at Riley, however Jacob reacts first, stepping into the face of Addison and glaring him down.
Jacob:
Actually, we do have one more thing to say… We announced midweek that Aftermath had arrived, Jacob Laymon, Rayne Young, two of the best damn superstars ever to stand in this ring, together and we said something that you might want to pay attention to… Because this company is about to be destroyed…
Suddenly Rayne turns and boots Jackson Adams in the stomach, he then lifts him onto his shoulders, CURTAIN CALL!! HE HITS IT!!! JACKSON ADAMS IS DOWNED!! The fans explode with anger as Rayne Young just stands to his feet and glares down over Jackson as Jacob now drops the microphone and making certain he is staring right at Riley Addison as he does it, he just locks in an ankle lock causing Jackson to yell in anger, his face contorted with pain as Rayne and Jacob just loudly mock Riley, mocking his bad leg, telling him ‘to do something about it’. Jacob just continues to hold Jackson in the move causing JA to just shake his head, his hand tapping the mat in pain when suddenly “All the things she said” by T.A.T.U explodes through the speaker systems!
Brody:
Here she comes!!!
Angelica Jones suddenly explodes from the back and sprints down the ring, wasting no time, she slides into the ring, Rayne just charges her, but she ducks his clothesline and just turns in time as he does, she then charges forward hitting a huge clothesline that sends him flying over the top rope before crashing down hard to the safety mats below, Jacob see’s this and just releases Jackson before running at Angelica and throwing a right hand, but Jones blocks it and fires back one of her own and another and another and another, the cheers are overwhelming here as Angelica just has Jacob Staggered, she grabs his wrist and just throws him against the ropes before hitting a huge spear!!!
Suddenly she stands and just demands he stands, the fans all knowing she is going for the Hot Shot, but as Laymon gets to one knee, suddenly the cheers and excitement turn to boo’s, Rayne Young slides back into the ring and with a chair in hand, slams it across the back of Angelica knocking her to her knees, he then slams it across her back viciously again!!
Rayne Young just grins from ear to ear now as an angry Jacob Laymon stands up and begins angrily stomping on her over and over again, Rayne just lifts the chair up again and slams it down over the back of Angelica, but as he goes to do it again, Riley grabs a microphone.
Riley:
Stop! Stop it!
Both Jacob and Rayne turn to the owner, smiles on their faces as they glance around at what they’ve done.
Riley:
Stop doing this…
Both men just ignore him and turn back to the downed Angelica Jones but as they do, Riley’s upset expression fades, replaced with one of anger.
Riley:
… Because I’m fully fit to compete again!
Suddenly Jacob turns but Riley grabs his head, LIGHTS OUT (RKO), noooo! Jacob clocks it and drops to the mat himself and rolls out of the ring to safety, Rayne just swings the chair but Riley ducks it and as Rayne turns, FLASH OF LIGHT SUPERKICK, HE CONNECTS WITH THE CHAIR WHICH SLAMS INTO RAYNES FACE!! Rayne drops the chair and grabs his face as he rolls out of the ring joining Jacob, the two men furiously backing up the ramp as an equally angry Riley glares at them before backing to Jackson Adams to check on him. Angelica begins to stir now as well, her expression one of fury and wanted retribution.
**********************************************************************************
Eli Legacy can be seen backstage, a smile across his face as he just rubs his hands together, however he is quickly approached by Tom Hammond, he turns to face him, a smile on his face.
Hammond:
Eli, we just heard from the arena, that in two weeks, you are going to be facing Jackson Adams one on one, what’s your thoughts?
Eli:
My thoughts? My thoughts are that Riley Addison has offered me the perfect opportunity to showcase my abilities to a wide audience, you see, Jackson Adams is weak, he is a man that grows weaker and weaker by the week and just like Simon Cagero, he is a legend of this business that has, frankly, outstayed his welcome.
Hammond:
So, you’re claiming to be a legend killer?
Eli:
Sooo Cliché! If I claimed to be a legend killer Hammond, I’d be the same as to many of these other idiots around here, no, I’m not saying that, you see, I can’t kill what they already destroyed! Jackson Adams, he was a multi time champion, a man who has a big reputation in this business and in this federation, he could have bowed out a long time ago with his head held high and his reputation intact, but instead… He stuck with it for too long and became the same as so many others in this federation, in this business…
Hammond:
Which is?
Eli just grins wider and glares at the camera as if he is talking to Jackson Adams directly.
Eli:
Old news… That simply doesn’t know it yet…
Eli just laughs manically for a moment before glaring at Hammond, he then walks out of the shot as Tom looks on, confusion on his face as he takes in the words of Eli Legacy.
*****************************************************************************
Lance Williams appears entering the arena to a mixed reaction from the fans, he ignores it and just walks through the lobby, his suitcase trailing behind him, he stops momentarily, letting go of his case to grab a bottle of water from a complimentary table, only to find himself then looking at Kirsta Lewis, the legend glaring him up and down with a look of confusion and uncertainty.
Kirsta:
Well, well… I never thought I’d see a Williams back in this federation, what’s the matter? Jay and Vincent not done your family name enough damage?
Lance:
I’m not Jay or Vincent and I don’t really want this from you right now…
Kirsta:
I don’t give a shit what you want, frankly, I’d rather you turn around and leave.
Lance:
Well then, you’re going to be disappointed because that isn’t going to happen.
Kirsta just smiles and then kicks his suitcase over before glaring back at him.
Kirsta:
I heard you spoke to Priest at PRIDE and he said you weren’t welcome here, right? Well let me second that sentiment because you know something Lance, whether you are your own man or not, your family, your siblings, they have done enough to make every ‘Williams’ a black sheep in these circles. I assure you that.
Lance:
Kirsta, what can I do to even begin to show you? Huh?
Kirsta:
Darling, you don’t need to do anything because I already know I’m right and sooner or later… You, just like Jay and Vincent did, are going to show your true colours.
Kirsta just kicks the suitcase out of her way as she passes Lance, a smile across her face as a clearly agitated and angry Lance Williams glares at the ground before looking over his shoulder in the direction Kirsta left, his wanting for his own reputation continuing to fall flat on its face.
*********************************************************************************
Atlantic Gauntlet Match
Outcome;
The fans are clearly excited for the start of this match with the noise levels deafening and it didn’t stop when the sound of Brandy Danielle’s music explodes through the speakers, the reaction is mixed, but she takes it in her stride and just walks down the ramp, some fans outstretching there hands to be slapped, others shouting abuse or booing. She rolls into the ring and waits for her opponent.
Suddenly the sound of Lance Williams Music hits and the fans just look on, some instantly noting the history and the relationship between the two entrants in the ring, Lance just steps out from the back, attired and ready for action, he glances around the fans, all of them loud as usual but with yet, another mixed reaction. Lance doesn’t look happy with this, but seems to accept it as he walks down the ramp, he stops at the ring and glances in at Brandy who grins up one side of her face, looking forward to the challenge ahead.
Brody:
Wow, student Vs Teacher to get things started on Carnage and stable mates to!
Sweeney:
I don’t really care, there the first two, so either way neither of them are going to win!
Lance enters the ring and the bell sounds, at first, neither of them moves, instead they wearily walk to the middle of the ring and quickly shake hands to an applause from the fans, pinfall or submission counts for the first three falls of this match, with the Atlantic submission only rules coming in for the final two, nonetheless, they get started, hooking up and pushing onto one another, however Lance breaks the lock and just throws Brandy with an arm drag, both get up quickly but Lance uses the arm drag again, as she stands he swipes her legs away and goes for the quick pin, but doesn’t even get a one count as she kicks out, Lance rolls away and both stand, the fans applauding the opening exchange.
They circle the ring and hook up again, but Brandy breaks the hold this time and hooks Lance with a headlock, she grinds it in momentarily before rolling her body around his and changing the hold into a nice hammerlock, Lance quickly ducks under his own arm, reversing the hold back on Brandy, but suddenly Danielle just slams an elbow right into his face!
Brody:
Foreplays over then!
Lance looks shocked at first, but as he comes round, Brandy leaps up and drops him with a perfectly executed dropkick, she then stands and runs back into the ropes before rolling forward and leaps into a senton splash, better known as rolling thunder! She covers,
1…
2…
Lance kicks out, but Brandy stands right back up and lifts Lance to his feet, she slams a boot into his stomach bending him over and then hooks his arm before snapping him over with a nicely executed suplex, she holds on and lifts him again, this time hooking the leg, before throwing him back with a Fisherman’s suplex with a bridge pin,
1…
2…
No! Lance kicks out again.
Williams is clearly dazed and Brandy just rolls to her feet, she senses blood and looks to finish him off early so she can remain fresh for the next person coming in, she waits, demanding he stand, screaming for him to get up, slowly he does and as he gets to his feet and turns to her, she runs forward, MOMENT OF TRUTH!! NOOO!!! Lance ducks it at the very final second, but Brandy lands on her feet with cat like reflexes, she then turns quickly to her final teacher, but he is waiting FINAL DESTINATION!!! HE HITS IT!!!
He covers,
1…
2…
3…
Brandy is more shocked then hurt after dominating the early moments of the bout, but Lance looks more relived and tries to get his breath back, he looks at Brandy as she rolls out of the ring and back up at him and with a friendly smile is seen telling her, ‘you made one mistake, only one’, with an understanding nod of her head, she sighs and walks up the ramp as the music of Hannah Monroe hits, instantly a cheer goes up around the arena as Monroe makes her first on screen debut for the FWA!
Brody:
Unknown quantity coming out next Sweeney! Hannah Monroe.
Sweeney:
Wow… I would.
Brody:
Shocker!
Hannah just glares at Brandy who is walking up the ramp, the two of them sharing words before Hannah just sprints down the ring and slides under the ropes, Lance instantly reacts with a clothesline attempt, but Hannah ducks it and runs into the ropes before leaping onto his shoulders and hitting a nice Hurricanrana, Lance is staggered and as he stands up, stumbles into the corner, but Hannah clocks it and walks to the opposite one, she then runs across with a roar and leaps to the second rope, lifting a knee into his face causing the fans to cheer again, she then leaps down and grabs Lance by the head before running out for a bulldog, but Lance has this scouted and just shoves her as she leaps into the air causing her to land hard on her back as he drops to his knee. He shakes his head to get rid of the cobwebs and then stands as she does, he grabs her around the waist and then lifts her into the air, spinning her at the same time so she faces the roof before dropping to one knee and letting her land into a gutwrench backbreaker! With a cry she rolls away and grabs her back.
Lance looks in his element now and just slows the pace down, he stamps across her back now, targeting that area before dropping a nice elbow across it. He stands up again and lifts her to her feet before shoving her back into the corner, he then chops her loudly and again before walking casually to the middle of the ring and runs back at her, as he does, he leaps into the air and hits a nice clothesline, at the same time, he leaps through the ropes, sitting himself on the middle one, Hannah just drops into a seated position in the corner of the ring causing Lance to re-enter the ring, he walks to the adjacent corner and lifts one arm to the fans, many of whom are booing him still and with a roar, runs across the ring at Hannah hitting a horrible looking face wash that leaves her looking unconscious. Lance just stays there for a moment, looking across the fans again, all of them booing him still, suddenly he shouts “I am not Jay god damn it!” but they continue to boo him.
Brody:
Lance needs to stay focused on this match right now.
Sweeney:
I don’t think he has anything to worry about, Hannah looks down and out, great debut.
Lance just walks back to the centre of the ring, pleading to the fans to listen to him, he then walks to the ropes and demands a microphone, he is handed one and Lance just glares at the fans for a moment.
Lance:
When I left this company when it was known as MCW, you people didn’t boo me, you cheered me, you supported me! Why can’t you see that I am not Jay, I am not Vincent, I am my own man, I am here to do my own thing, I want you people behind me, not against me!
Lance lowers the microphone to find the boos are lower in volume, but still present, with a sigh, he just looks confused at the fans but as he turns he does so right into a slapping superkick from Hannah Monroe that has the fans on there feet cheering!! The microphone drops to the ground and Hannah follows suit, pinning Lance Williams,
1…
2…
3…
NO!! Lance kicks out in the final mini-second causing the fans to stand in shock, Hannah just slaps the mat and shaking her own cobwebs, she stands back to her feet and just lifts Lance slowly back up to his, as he stands, she hits a big chop of her own across his chest and another and another, before booting him in the stomach and dropping him with a lovely spike DDT, she then covers again,
1…
2…
NO! Lance still kicks out.
Instantly Hannah turns to the official asking him to count quicker, but he argues his case and Hannah just stands to her feet again, this time, she leaves the ring and stands on the apron, Lance is down, suddenly she pulls on the top rope and flies over them back into the ring hitting a corkscrew splash at the same time that has the fans in raptures of applause! She then stands to her feet and then runs at the ropes again, jumping over Lance’s body as she does, she then leaps to the middle rope and hits a beautiful Asai Moonsault across his body and into the pin,
1…
2…
3…
NO! Lance again kicks out causing the fans to look on in shock! Some even cheering his efforts now as Hannah looks bewildered as well, suddenly she stands and calls to finish him off, taunting the fans who stand expecting the next pinfall, slowly Lance stands, he turns to her, she kicks him in the stomach, TALOR A WNAED!! NO!! Lance breaks her grip and rolls out from under her arm, reversing it into a wristlock before leaping at her for the Final Destination, but Hannah counters, lifting her knee to his stomach and causing him to stumble away and hold his belly, she then grabs his head again, going for her finisher again, but suddenly Lance grabs her legs and takes them away from her, he then crosses them and turns her onto her front, HAYSTACK SUBMISSION!!! He pulls back on the legs and just piles the pressure onto her lower back as much as he can, the fans going mental, all of them expecting to see something happen and they do as Hannah begrudgingly begins tapping the mat!!!!
Brody:
Lance has beaten two!! Hannah Monroe is out!! What a counter!!
Sweeney:
Wow, that’s actually pretty impressive!
He instantly lets go as the bell sounds and Hannah painfully and angrily rolls out of the ring holding her lower back in some pain, in the ring, Lance looks tired, that last exchange with Hannah clearly taking something out of him. Suddenly the music of Eli Legacy hits and the fans instantly boo loudly. The young, cocky new boy of the company just steps out from the back and glares down the ramp, he ignores the fans around him, his hands waving them away as if they were servants of people below him, he then walks around the ring and to more boos from the fans, grabs a microphone and just glares up at Lance Williams in the ring.
Brody:
What the hell is Eli Legacy doing? Lance is tired, get in the ring and finish him off!
Sweeney:
He is a gentleman Brody, he is letting Lance get his breath back first.
Eli:
Hannah, Hannah, Hannah, I have respect for you, you know that… But losing to this inferior piece of crap? Lance Williams? A former MCW Champion? A member of the fallen from grace Williams family? Oh please!
Boo’s explode from the fans, only the odd chair against Lance now being heard as Eli grins from ear to ear.
Eli:
Hannah, go to the back, hold your head in shame and I’m sure you will get the job done next time, instead, let me do what you should have and get this piece of crap out of the ring!
Eli just turns to the announcers and places the microphone down, however the fans explode with cheers, as Eli turns, Lance runs off the far ropes and just leaps through the opposite ones right onto Eli Legacy causing both men to crash into the front of the announce table and drop to the ground! Instantly a “Holy shit” echoes around the arena! Lance just rolls away from Eli and gets to his knees, anger on his face, he stands and grabs Eli before throwing him back into the ring, he then steps up onto the apron and as Eli stands, leaps onto the top rope and back into the ring with a big spinning heel kick that takes Eli down again!
Lance isn’t finished though and just demands Eli stand, as he does, he slaps a chop across his chest and another and another, Eli is roaring in pain with every shot, his chest red raw as he backs into the corner only for Lance to step away before running back in with a big clothesline that has Eli rocked, he staggers out of the corner back to the middle of the ring only for Lance to run in behind him and drop him with a nice bulldog!! He covers,
1…
2…
3…
NO! Eli kicks out and just rolls onto his side as Lance quickly gets back to his feet, he grabs the legs of Eli and looks to go for Haystack again, but Eli pulls his legs into his chest and then fires them out shooting Lance back into the ropes, he then rolls onto his chest forcing Williams to leap over him and continue on, he then stands and just runs at Lance with a big clothesline, but Lance ducks it, continues into the ropes one more time and as Eli turns, hits such a hard clothesline, Legacy is turned inside out and lands face first onto the ring mat! Lance is fired up now, his fists clenched and pumped as the fans FINALLY get behind him! He turns to Eli and waits, Eli stands and turns to him, FINAL DESTINATION!!! NO!!! As Lance runs at him, Eli quickly drops to the mats and rolls out of the ring cleverly. But Lance isn’t waiting for him and goes for another suicide dive, however Eli clocks it this time and steps aside at the final second causing Lance to land badly on his neck as he hits the crowd barrier!
Eli just drops to his knee and takes a breather as the fans explode at the impact of Lance Williams to the outside, Legacy then stands and grabs Lance, lifting him to the apron before rolling him in the ring, he then lifts Lance to his feet before hooking his arm and then his leg, the fans knowing what’s coming next HERITAGE!! HE HITS IT!! HE COVERS,
1…
2…
3…
The fans boo loudly as Eli Legacy just cracks his own neck from the affects of that bout, he rolls to his feet as Lance rolls out of the ring, an EMT running down the ramp to check on him after his fall, however the contenders don’t stop as the next music hits.
Brody:
Lance Williams, Hannah Monroe and Brandy Danielle make up the contendership spots for the Inception title, that we now know and what a shame, Lance was doing so well!
Sweeney:
So submission finishes from this point on now, right?
Brody:
Precisely.
Suddenly the music of Brittany Lohan suddenly comes over the speakers and the fans explode with cheers, Brittany just steps out, the tag team championship over her shoulder, she glares at Eli Legacy for a moment and then walks confidently down the ring, she then stops at apron and places her title down carefully, wearily, she climbs onto the apron, her eyes focused on Eli and then enters the ring, the fans watching as these two superstars look on and slowly circle the ring.
Brody:
One half of the tag team champions, this should be interesting.
Sweeney:
They are both technically adept athletes, so this is the right division for them!
Suddenly they lock up and instantly Brittany breaks the hold and locks in a nice wristlock, twisting the arm of Eli, but Legacy quickly rolls into a forward roll and counters back with the same move on Lohan, Brittany however just leaps to the middle rope and as she comes back, uses her arm and her momentum to throw Eli with a nice arm drag! Both stars stand quickly back to there feet and Eli charges in with a wild clothesline, but Brittany ducks it and hits a nice backbreaker, bending Eli’s right over her own as she drops into a crouching position!!
Eli just rolls away as Brittany gets up to her feet, a smile coming across her face, she then turns to see Eli is up to his hands and knees, she grabs him by the head and slowly lifts him to his feet before holding him against the ropes and hitting a BIG chop across his chest and another and another, she then grabs his wrist and throws him across the ring, no, Eli counters and throws Brittany, she hits the ropes and comes back, but Eli is quick and steps in, lifting her round for a spinning body slam to the mat! He rolls off her and both athletes lay on the mat as the fans begin a “Lets go Brittany” chant.
Brody:
The fans clear who they want to win here and until that moment, Brittany looked in good shape.
Sweeney:
This Eli Legacy has got something. He beat Simon Cagero, got one over on Jackson Adams, eliminated Lance Williams, three main eventers in this business Brody, I’m telling you.
Brody:
He certainly is getting ears wagging, I don’t take that away from him at all, but his attitude stinks!
Eli just grabs the ropes and pulls himself up as Brittany rolls onto one knee, however as she looks up, Eli slams a kick into her chest and another and another and another before running against the ropes and coming back with a big shining wizard kick to take her back down to the mat! The fans are booing loudly as Eli just stands back up and suddenly stomps across the back of her neck and again and again. He then runs into the ropes and drops a quick elbow across the neck joint as well. Brittany rolls onto her back but Eli is showing her no mercy and just lifts her to her feet before hooking her head, he then poses with her to the fans going for a DDT, but as he does, Brittany just takes his legs away from him and turns him into a boston crab!!! She pulls back on his legs and places her weight on his lower back causing the fans to go crazy with cheers, all of them wanting to see the cocky Eli Legacy tap out! She shakes her head violently to try and encourage the reaction that would put her in the final two of this gauntlet, but Eli refuses to tap, his head shaking from side to side as the referee demands an answer.
She pulls back a little bit more, but again Eli says no and showing great determination, suddenly lifts himself up on his hands and with difficulty, let alone applying more pain to his lower body, moves himself toward the ropes, one hand at a time, the referee is ever vigilant when suddenly he lunges out and grabs the rope!
Boos explode around the arena as the referee makes the four count forcing Brittany to let go off her submission attempt, however she turns right back to him, grabs his ankles and tugs him away from the ropes and back to the centre of the ring, she then turns him onto his back and with cheers from all around the arena in Athens, she goes for the move again, however Eli clocks it and kicks her away into the corner of the ring, he then crawls to the opposite corner and with a slight limp, manages to stand to his feet. As he does Brittany sprints across at him, but he lifts his feet just in time catching her in the jaw and causing her to stumble backwards.
Brody:
Quick thinking by Eli
Brittany grabs her face and turns back to him, but as she does, he runs out at her and hits a big sweeping STO to the mat that rocks the ring and causes the fans Boos to echo out again. Both wrestlers are down and hurt, the fans getting behind Brittany Lohan again, however, slowly they both stand, Eli first, but a mini-second later, Brittany, suddenly he fires a right hand to her face with boo’s from the fans, but Brittany fires back causing the fans to cheer, Eli, Brittany, Eli, Brittany, Eli, Brittany, the fans responding correctly to each blow, Brittany then tries for a second consecutive, but Eli blocks it and rakes her eyes causing the official to shout at him, however he ignores the referee and runs into the near ropes, but as he does, Brittany counters and leaps at his head, hooking it in close and then wrapping her legs around his waist, BLACK LIGHT ENDING!! THE FANS ARE GOING NUTS!!! Brittany just locks it in and tries to tug Eli down to the mat, but Eli stands up still taking her weight and keeping his balance, he is in utter agony doing it though, but cleverly places his arms under her legs before tugging them apart, this drops Brittany down to the mat in front of him, her headlock still in place, however, Eli just hooks her waist and to a huge reaction, lifts her over his head with a nice belly to back overhead suplex!!
Sweeney:
Brilliant counter!!!
Eli just drops to one knee, he then stands still holding his neck as a dazed Brittany stumbles back into him, he spins her around and then drops her with a flapjack, he then quickly rolls to her side, the fans booing heavily now as the angry and pain ridden Eli Legacy just grabs her arm and locks in his submission LEGACY MAKER!!! He tugs back on it viciously, his face becoming possessed as he instantly attacks, but Brittany is refusing to give in, her head shaking, she keeps saying no, but seems unable to get herself moving to the ropes, she rolls from side to side, trying to escape, trying to do anything she can, but there is no way out, SHE TAPS!! THE BOO’S EXPLODE!! Nobody can quite believe it as Brittany Lohan, one half of the tag team champions taps out to the Legacy Maker, instantly Eli lets go and demands the official get her out of the ring, his hand holding the back of his neck in agony, the cocky star knowing that Brittany very nearly had him!
Brody:
Wow! Eli has done it! Only one more star to get through!
Lohan just angrily slaps the mat, her eyes glaring with a fury back up at Eli Legacy as she grabs her tag title and begins up the ramp, however as she does, Tara Belle walks out, instantly the two ladies begin arguing, both of them fuming with one another, however, Tara just flips Brittany the finger to a mixed reaction from the fans before grinning from ear to ear as she walks past her. Brittany just stands in relative shock at this before angrily reacting, she runs down the ramp behind Tara and slams her belt into the back of her head knocking Tara to the ground, she then stands over her shouting abuse, quickly Brittany lifts Tara back up to her feet and just drops her with a DDT onto the safety mats!! The official slides out of the ring and demands Brittany get up the ramp and leave the ringside area, but the damage is done, Tara is in agony!
Brittany just grins from ear to ear before walking up the ramp, meanwhile Eli Legacy see’s his opportunity and rolls out of the ring, he grabs Tara and lifts her to her feet before rolling her in the ring, he then quickly rolls in himself, but Tara is already up to one knee, he quickly runs at her to knock her back down, but she see’s him coming and stands hitting a big clothesline that takes Eli down hard!!
Brody:
What the hell was Brittany thinking! That wasn’t right!!
Tara can’t do anything though as she drops back to one knee, her neck in some serious pain, she stands again as Eli does the same thing and just grabs the ropes either side of her in the corner as he runs at her, lifting her foot into his face as he runs at her again, she then leaps up to the middle rope and as Eli turns, she flies off hitting a big leg lariat across his throat taking him down hard to the mat, but the impact of her own fall to the canvas causes her to roll into a ball, both her hands gripping her neck.
The official instantly slides across to her asking her if she wants to give in and quit, but Tara refuses and just grabs the middle rope, fighting through the pain and standing to her feet, she stands and walks across to Eli Legacy who is up to one knee, she stands him up and just slaps a chop across his chest before throwing him across the ring, as he hits the opposite ropes she ducks low to lift him over her head, but he clocks it and just boots her in the chest and face causing her to stand upright, he then drops her with a big clothesline, instantly, he then goes to her side, LEGACY MAKER!!!! The fans are watching and waiting for the end of this match, Tara was only moments ago, cradling her neck and this is all about the pressure on those very same joints, but no, she is holding on, fighting through the pain, trying to take it, trying to make it count, suddenly she gets up to her knees and tries to shuffle toward the ropes, stretching her leg out to reach them, but she is just too short, she continues to say no to the official, but she can’t go much further, Eli just tugs harder, his face red with effort, with desperation, he grinds the hold, tugs the hold and FINALLY Tara is left with no choice, she taps!!!
Tom Hammond:
Ladies and Gentleman, your winner and NEW number one contender for the Atlantic Championship, Eli Legacy!
Boo’s explode from all around the arena as Eli lets Tara go, he rolls to his knees and lifts his arms into the air in celebration, his eyes closed, with a big grin, he just stands to his feet and watches Brandy Danielle run down to the ring to help Tara and check on her after that attack by Brittany Lohan. Instantly, he calls for a microphone and to louder boo’s just puts the microphone to his mouth.
Eli:
I told each and everyone one of you that I would prove my every word to you, I told you I was the next best thing, I told you I was the name who was going to make wrestling ‘cool’ again and now I’m one step away from the first stage of my promise to become the first ever FWA Grand Slam Champion!
More Boo’s explode as Eli just lifts his arms into the air again, however the boo’s suddenly turn to cheers as the music of Jackson Adams explodes from the speakers, Jackson just sprints down to the ring from the back and slides in the ring, but Eli quickly ducks out as he enters, shaking his head and telling Jackson to ‘Wait before he kicks his ass’, but Jackson wants him now and demands he get back in the ring, however Eli is having none of it and with a smile on his face and his arm raised in the air, he just backs up the ramp and heads for the back.
******************************************************************************
The shot fades into Riley Addisons office, the owner is clearly still buzzing from announcing his return to fitness at the opening of the show, but is seen pacing while holding the phone to his ear.
Riley:
I know, I know, but you announced this days ago, are you sure? Don’t be fucking me around here, I need to know, are you in or are you out?
Riley seems to wait as he listens to whoever is on the other end of the phone.
Riley:
Really? You are going to be back on the show from next week? Where the hell are you? Are you in Greece? Oh! Sorry, thought I heard them speaking a different language.
Again he goes quiet.
Riley:
So the retirement thing? The rape case? We can put all that to one side now and you are coming back on the tour? What changed?
Briefly he remains silent.
Riley:
Yes, I did hear Rayne Young call you out and take the credit for it, but you can do this legally? Really? Ok, well, if you’re sure!?!
Silence once more.
Riley:
No problem, you will be booked for Carnage 8, no problem.
Suddenly the office door swings open and an angry Angelica Jones walks in, her eyes glaring right at Riley Addison who turns to face her.
Riley:
Nick, yeah, let me call you back, I got to handle something. Ok. Bye.
Angelica:
Handle something? No, what you have to do, is explain to me why it took you so god damn long to attack Jacob and Rayne and save them hitting me with a damn chair if you knew all along you were fully fit? Huh?
Riley:
Ok, I guess you deserve to know. Fact is, I wanted to make sure I could catch them off guard, neither of them expected it and hey, end of the day, you are still fit as a fiddle and ready for tonight, right?
Angelica:
No thanks to you, yes. But I guess getting blown up in an ambulance and nearly losing your arm makes my resistance to pain, a little more durable, but let me make something clear to you…
Angelica suddenly squares up to Riley Addison, the wrestling legend and the owner of the company clearly not off to a great start.
Angelica:
If you are anywhere near me in the ring again and you do fuck all to help me… I swear to god I will destroy you!
Angelica just lets her words sink in as the two of them glare at one another before she angrily turns and leaves his office causing Riley to look on and breathe a sigh of relief that a warning was all it was.
*******************************************************************************
Eli Legacy is seen walking backstage, sweaty but full of adrenalin, he is ‘Wooing’ past stagehands and just shouting loudly down the lobby “Did you see what I did!?!” over and over before suddenly he stops to find himself standing face to face, nose to nose with the Atlantic Champion, Michael Kyzer, the fans explode with cheers at the site of the champion and both men just glare at one another for a moment.
Kyzer:
Proud of yourself huh?
Legacy:
100%, I just beat Brittany Lohan, Lance Williams, known main eventers in this business and you know what, soon, I’m going to add you to that list and grab myself some gold!
Kyzer:
Wow, I guess modesty isn’t one of your weaknesses, but I notice stupidity is!
Legacy suddenly goes quiet to this comment, his smile fading as Kyzer glares angrily at him.
Kyzer:
All your boasting, all your bitching, but Simon Cagero hasn’t main evented or even wrestled in about twenty years! Lance Williams hasn’t been back long either and Brittany Lohan has never been a out and out main event star, so keep talking Eli, because one day someone might listen to that shit, but not me. If you can beat me, then I’ll see if my opinion in you changes, but you know what… You won’t, beat, me.
Kyzer just adjusts the title belt purposely on his shoulder causing Eli to look at it momentarily, both men now angry in there expression, but Kyzer just walks away to prepare for his match, the camera turning to Eli who just sucks it up and more quietly heads for his locker room.
********************************************************************************
Angelica Jones is seen again, pacing the lobby backstage after giving Riley Addison a piece of her mind, she stops suddenly outside the Apocalypse dressing room and to cheers from the fans just opens the door and enters, she glances around to see Glory and Brittany staring back at her, the atmosphere instantly frosty.
Angelica:
What’s wrong?
The silence is telling and neither champion talks back to her, instead they just glance at one another.
Glory:
You know what, let’s just fucking tell her. Angelica, you’re not welcome in this changing room anymore.
Angelica:
Excuse me?
Glory:
Apocalypse has moved on, it is it’s own entity now, it’s own success story and we don’t need to be weighed down any longer by you or your damn ego! You’re over the hill and past it and the shadow you bring over this group, over the superior athletes in this group, it’s not a shadow we are willing to live under anymore. Is that plain enough for you?
Glory and Angelica just go nose to nose for a moment, both of them furious with one another, but Angelica just glances to her side at Brittany, her stare cold.
Angelica:
Is this the truth?
Brittany:
We’ve moved on Angel.
Angelica just nods a begrudgingly at the two of them, her expression clearly trying to control the rage and anger building deep within her chest.
Glory:
We already replaced you with someone who feels the same way we do
Angelica:
And who would that be?
Marie:
Me.
The fans are outraged and boo’s can be heard in the arena as Angelica slowly turns back to the doorway to see her daughter standing before her, Marie Williams just glares at her, the two of them not sharing any sign of happiness or love toward one another.
Angelica:
You think I overshadow your career?
Marie:
No. I know you do and I’m not going to be a small after thought to your front page news anymore. I’m more talented than you, more athletic and agile than you and frankly, better than you in every way and I don’t deserve to be forgotten because of your crazy career!
Angelica goes quiet again, her face nearly exploding with anger, however she calmly steps past Marie and turns back to the dressing room where Brittany, Glory and Marie look back at her.
Angelica:
Let me make this clear, it’s fine. If you want to replace me, ok, but be aware that if we are now enemies… You better stay out of my way.
She then looks straight at Marie, her face cold.
Angelica:
Even you.
She glances across at Jackson Adams who is casually walking back to the changing room, he raises a friendly hand to Angelica, but she ignores him and storms away as the girls look on.
Jackson:
What the hell was that about?
Glory:
Angelica’s been removed from Apocalypse, Marie is her replacement!
Jackson looks instantly confused by this, even angry, he glares at Glory for a moment before looking back in the direction Angelica walked off.
Jackson:
What the fuck? Was you going to tell me this was going to happen?
Marie:
Whoa! What’s the big fucking problem? Are you trying to say I’m not as good as she is?
Jackson:
That’s exactly what I’m saying and you know what, did any of you think for a second that having Angelica as an enemy is a much more dangerous concept to this group than keeping her close where we can use her? Huh?
Glory:
It’s done now and nothings going to change.
Jackson:
Is that so.
Glory:
That’s so, now Jackson, drop it…
Jackson:
… Go fuck yourselves!
The fans suddenly explode with cheers as Jackson bluntly turns and walks away from the three women, all of them shocked by his reaction as he storms away.
**********************************************************************************
Brody:
Holy shit! Apocalypse self exploding, sort of.
Sweeney:
So Jackson Adams and Angelica Jones are out of Apocalypse and Marie Williams is in? Sounds like the best bit of business I’ve heard in awhile! Great decision by our World Champion!
Brody:
Hang on, so now you’re an Apocalypse fan? When they do something so damn right out of order like replace and fire a hall of famer, a multiple time World Champion who only recently got out of hospital for an injured arm and injuries caused by her being blown up in an ambulance? Oh you’re a man of real morals!
Sweeney:
Thank you!
Brody:
I was being sarcastic you prick… Hang on, something else is happening backstage!!
***************************************************************************
Eli Legacy is seen standing with a huge smile across his face as he looks on at EMTs and stage hands surrounding the concussed body of Michael Kyzer, a pool of blood is surrounding the head of the Atlantic Champion, though the championship belt is settled over the shoulder of Eli Legacy. An official asks him to give it back, but Eli just shoves him away.
Eli:
When he wakes up, can you guys let him know that Eli Legacy told him his belt is in safe keeping and if he is ever able to return to the ring, I’ll officially take it off of him from that moment on. Thanks.
Eli just turns away from the dramatic scenes of chaos and walks up the lobby, an apple in his hand, he takes a bite from it and uses his cuff to shine up the Atlantic Championship, a championship he is now proudly carrying.
******************************************************************************
Brody:
Son of a bitch!! Just like what he did to Jackson Adams, Eli has struck again and cost Michael Kyzer his opportunity to be in the main event later tonight, this is disgusting!
Sweeney:
Legacy is amazing, what an impact this guy is having! He is taking people out left, right and centre right now!
Brody:
That might be so, but by attacking people from behind backstage? He is a coward, a god damn coward!
World Heavyweight Championship
Elimination Tag Team Match
Outcome;
The music of Priest hits and the big man walks out from the back, he is offered a mixed reaction from the fans, many loyal fans cheering him for his service to the business, nonetheless, Priest walks to the ring in his own style, climbs onto the apron and over the ropes, the big man just standing in the centre of the ring, taking the applause and the ovation from many of the fans from all sides of him.
As his music ends, the music of Angelica Jones then hits to a huge ovation of cheers, the former World champion and wrestling legend just walks out from the back, she is cold and expressionless as ever, her intensity clear to see, her focus on what needs to be done tonight and the possibility of revenge against Jacob Laymon. The fans look on as she walks down the ramp and just climbs onto the apron, she then enters the ring.
Suddenly the music of Aftermath suddenly plays, the cheers from before suddenly change to loud boo’s from all sides as Jacob Laymon and Rayne Young enter the arena together, the two of them just look very proud of themselves and smugly walk down the ramp, giving and taking the abuse of the fans either side of them. They reach the ring and just walk around to opposite sides and with Priest already in the ring, the team surround Angelica who stands defiant, but alone.
Brody:
This isn’t right, Weapon isn’t here, Kirsta isn’t here, Angelica is all on her own!
With large grins on there faces, Rayne and Jacob enter the ring and just begin mocking Angelica’s predicament, but as they do, “Mind Heist” by Zack Hemsey hits the speakers and Riley Addison suddenly steps out from the back, he is grinning from ear to ear and has a microphone in his hand. As his music stops he speaks.
Riley:
You must have thought Christmas had come early huh Jacob? A 3 on 1 match against Angelica Jones?
Riley just laughs the match idea off.
Riley:
Well, I’m sorry to ruin it for you Jacob, but that simply won’t be happening, you see, I want fair fights, just like when I came and freed Rayne from the handcuffs, I want to competitive matches, so I am making some changes to the scheduled match tonight, those changes are as follows, it will no longer be an Elimination tag match, no, instead, it’s going to be a four way Elimination match and just to even the odds… Priest… If you want that title shot against Glory Braddock, not only will I give you that at the next pay per view if you can win this match, but if you pin either Rayne Young or Jacob Laymon tonight, in two weeks at Carnage 8 in Rome, Italy… I will give you a World title opportunity, one on one then as well!
Instantly the fans cheer and go mental with excitement as Jacob and Rayne rant and explode in the ring at Riley, but Addison just grins and shakes his head, he lifts his hand asking them to quiet down before raising the microphone one more time.
Riley:
Oh and Jacob, being that Rayne had to fight Lethal Weapon at PRIDE and lost, that’s right Rayne, you LOST… I thought you might like to know that Lethal, although he couldn’t be here tonight phoned me earlier to say he’d heard Rayne’s comments and yours about his whereabouts and well… In two weeks, he has sorted his legal issues as best he can, but he has been granted leave to come back to work here in the FWA and that means that in two weeks Jacob, it’s going to be you, one on one Vs Lethal Weapon and upon his request… It’s going to be no… Holds… Barred.
The fans explode with excitement again as Jacob cannot believe it, both him and Rayne are fuming at the last minute changes and the announcements that have come out of nowhere.
Brody:
HOLY SHIT! Jacob Laymon Vs Lethal Weapon in two weeks!!!
Sweeney:
That is huge! And Priest against Glory Braddock, all he has to do is eliminate one of this men!!
Brody:
Top that off with Eli Legacy and Jackson Adams in the ring together, what a show we have for Carnage 8!
Rayne and Jacob just watch Riley walk backstage but then turn back into the ring still furious, however as they do, Priest is there waiting, suddenly he slaps his hand around both of there throats, PRIEST SLAM, DOUBLE PRIEST SLAM!!! HE HITS IT!!! The fans explode as Rayne and Jacob bounce off the mat but both instantly roll outside of the ring to safety, Priest is furious and just kicks the ropes in frustration but then slowly turns to see Angelica Jones staring at him, the two of them look ready to go at it, both of them talking to one another, but as Jacob and Rayne begin to stand out of the ring, Angelica suddenly turns and runs into the ropes, she sprints back at Priest who just lifts her into a Gorilla Press and then turns to face Jacob and Rayne before throwing Angelica right on top of them to the delight off the entire arena!
Rayne and Jacob just topple to the ground like Dominoes, but Angelica is padded on her fall and instantly just mounts Jacob, throwing hard right hands into his face over and over and over again! The entire arena is on it’s feet and going insane with noise, she stands up and just grabs Rayne Young, throwing him back into the ring before turning back to Jacob and lifting him to his feet, she grabs his wrist and just throws him hard into the steel steps causing the fans to cringe at the impact!
Brody:
Angelica is taking it to Laymon! She has waited so long for this!!
Angelica just strolls back away from Jacob before turning and sprinting at him, she then leaps and hits a devastating dropkick into his face, squashing it against the side of the steel steps, the fans chanting “Jones is gonna kill you” over and over again.
Inside the ring Priest just lifts Rayne up to his feet and slaps a chop across his chest and another big chop, he then grabs Rayne by the wrist and throws him across the ring into the ropes, Rayne comes back, but ducks under the big boot of Priest, he hits the ropes again as Priest turns and just slams the big man with a clothesline, but Priest is wobbled and doesn’t fall over, so Rayne turns into the ropes and hits another clothesline, but STILL Priest doesn’t go down, a third time then, Rayne runs into the ropes, but suddenly Priest steps in and grabs him, SPINEBUSTER WITH AUTHORITY!!! Rayne arches his back off the mat, the bruising and wounds from PRIDE still hurting him no doubt!
Priest just grabs Rayne by the head and lifts him back to his feet before lifting him high above his head in a gorilla press slam position, however Rayne suddenly kicks out of it and slides down Priests back, he then slams a kick into the leg of Priest and another and another and another, Priest finally turns to face Young, but Rayne just runs back into the ropes and dropkicks the knee of Priest taking the big man down, he then stands and slams a slapping kick into the chest of Priest and another and another before running back into the ropes again, but as he does, Priest just slaps his hand across the throat of Rayne as he comes back close enough and stands back to his feet, he looks at the fans who cheer wildly for another Priest slam, but as he lifts Rayne, Young gets out of it and again slaps his foot against the side of Priests leg before chopblocking the big man back down to one knee!
Brody:
Sound strategy here by Rayne Young! Priest can’t use his power if he can’t stand.
Rayne just turns and runs into the ropes behind Priest this time and as he comes back, leaps into the air, grabs Priest by the head and drops him with a bulldog to the canvas! Young just holds the front of his throat, still feeling the affects of that first Priest Slam.
Outside of the ring, Angelica just lifts Jacob to his feet and walks him to the crowd barrier, she slams his face down across it which causes Jacob to stumble away, but Angelica is hot on his tale and again grabs his head, but then tugs his wrist and throws him at the steel ringpost, but Jacob counters and throws Angelica instead! She hits it with a clang causing the fans to boo loudly as Aftermath take control, Jacob just gets his breath back, before angrily he then charges in and just goes for a big clothesline, but Angelica ducks just in time and Jacob slams his arm against the ringpost causing him to roar in pain before cradling his arm, however as he turns back to Jones, she just grabs the bad arm and drops him down to the mats with an impressive single arm DDT!
To cheers Angelica just sits up beside Jacob and again mounts him, mercilessly throwing right hands down upon him before standing up and stomping on his head and bad shoulder.
In the ring Rayne just continues to work on the leg of Priest, slamming some boots into the knee joint of the big man before dropping an elbow across it, he then drops another to a roar from Priest, Rayne just stands back to his feet and with the boo’s loud and clear, he just walks to the middle of the ring, his arms extended, his head raised to the roof, his words no doubt very self indulgent. He takes in the reaction and then turns to see Priest back up to one knee, with a grin and self confidence he just slaps the back of Priest’s head, showing him utter disrespect before standing him up and slapping a chop across his chest and another and another, he then takes Priest by the wrist and throws him across the ring, no, Priest counters and throws Rayne, Young hits the ropes and comes back, BUT STRAIGHT INTO A HUGE BIG BOOT!!
The fans are going nuts, but Priest hurts himself as much as he hurts Rayne, the impact causing him to drop to one knee momentarily, his face filled with pain, he stands back up as a dazed Rayne Young does and slaps a chop of his own across the chest of Young causing Rayne to yell in agony at the shot! He then lifts Rayne off the ground from around his waist and with a big jump, drops him with a sidewalk slam into a pin,
1…
2…
No! Rayne kicks out just about.
Brody:
Close one. If Priest picks up a pin here, he’ll face Glory in two weeks for the World title, what an opportunity this is for him!
Rayne just rolls away from Priest and out onto the apron, but Priest is up and just walks across to him, he leans over the ropes and grabs Rayne by the hair, but Young just grabs his head and drops off the apron to the outside hanging Priest on the top rope, he then climbs back up onto the apron and waits as Priest staggers toward the middle of the ring, he then turns, but only as Rayne leaps onto the top rope and then flies back into the ring, drop kicking the bad knee of Priest from under him again sending Priest down to the mat like a sack of Potatoes!
Outside the ring, Angelica is still in charge, she slams Jacob down on the safety mats before turning to the announce tables, she pulls the monitors out and just throws them aside to the cheers and excitement of the fans, she then turns back to Jacob and lifts him off the floor, she rolls him onto the table and then climbs up on it with him, the entire arena now on there feet waiting to see what is going to happen next, but Jacob suddenly slams a forearm into her knee and another and another, delaying her, he then stands up and kicks her in the stomach before quickly dropping her ON THE TABLE WITH A DDT!!! BUT THE TABLE DOESN’T BREAK, THE BOTH BOUNCE OFF IT!! Both Angelica and Jacob take a bad bump off the table and lay motionless momentarily around it, Angelica holding her head in agony!
In the ring Rayne just waits and stalks Priest as he painfully gets back to his feet and again chop blocks the knee of the big man taking him back down to one knee, he then waits behind Priest, stalking him again, this time as he stands, he hooks his waist going for a German suplex, but Priest blocks it and viciously slams an elbow into the face of Rayne knocking him away, he then turns but Rayne just runs at him again, however Priest see’s it this time and lunges forward with a clothesline taking Rayne down and again and again, Rayne suddenly stands and staggers toward Priest who scoops him up onto his shoulder and lets him sluggishly slide down his front, PRIEST DRIVER, SURELY!?! YES!!! HE HITS IT, HE HITS IT!!! CAN PRIEST WIN HIMSELF A WORLD TITLE SHOT!?!
1…
2…
3…
The fans are going mental, absolutely mental, somehow, someway, Priest has eliminated Rayne Young first!! The big man has done it, he has his World title shot in two weeks time!!
Priest just remains on all fours trying to get his breath back as Rayne rolls to the outside by the announcers desks, his head full of cobwebs after Priest was able to hit his finisher. He sits up against the apron and just holds his face in his hands momentarily, the moment suddenly replaying in his head.
Jacob is up on the outside and walks across to Angelica, he lifts her to her feet and just slams her face down into the table again, he then picks her up and rams her backwards into the corner of the apron causing her to arch her back in agony, her face contorted from the pain that runs around her spine suddenly!
Jacob just lets her drop, before suddenly turning to see Rayne is up on his feet, but still stumbling from that Priest Driver, he is furious, his face red with anger, suddenly he grabs the ring announcer and throws him from his chair before folding up the steel to a huge explosion of boo’s and anger from the fans, he rolls into the ring and like a baseball bat just stands behind Priest waiting for him to stand and turn, the big man does and faces Rayne, but as he does, BANG! Rayne Young slams the chair over the head of Priest and again and again, finally Priest drops to one knee and Rayne slams the chair over his head yet again knocking the big man down to the canvas, however before Rayne can hit him another time, Jacob suddenly slides into the ring and just hooks Priests leg,
1…
2…
3…
Boo’s explode as Jacob just rolls away and lifts his arms in victory to the fans, however he then turns to watch as Rayne Young just stands over Priest, shouting abuse at the big man for eliminating him from the match, suddenly he lifts the chair and slams it across the chest of Priest over and over and over and over again! The fans are going mental, exploding with anger as the official demands he leave the ring and go back up the ramp!
Brody:
Somebody stop him, this is sick, Priest doesn’t deserve this!
Rayne finally throws the chair aside and just leaves the ring, proud of himself and glaring happily at the carnage he has caused and costing Priest the opportunity to go any further in this match! He walks up the ramp and just lifts his arms to the fans who boo loudly as Priest also rolls out of the ring, the big man eliminated leaving just Jacob Laymon and Angelica Jones.
Angelica wearily rolls back into the ring and Jacob is right on her, rolling her onto her back for the pin,
1…
2…
No! Angelica kicks out just in time, but Jacob wastes no time, lifting Angelica to her feet and hooking her head, suddenly he lifts her high into the air and holds her there for what seems like hours before dropping her with the delayed suplex! Angelica is in a bad way after that bump on the table and Jacob is making the most of it, he pins her again,
1…
2…
No! Angelica kicks out again.
Jacob just slaps the mat this time and shouts abuse at the official, he then grabs Angelica and lifts her to her feet, he boots her in the stomach bending her forward and then runs back against the ropes, but Angelica suddenly see’s him coming and explodes out of nowhere, KAYLAN WIND KICK ROCKS JACOB!!! Jacob stumbles back into the ropes as Angelica hits that slapping kick out of nowhere, but the shot doesn’t take Jacob down, however Angelica just runs at him and with all her strength hits a huge clothesline that sends Jacob over the ropes and back down to the outside!! The fans are cheering and exploding with excitement as Angelica just watches as Jacob slowly begins to stand, as he does, she grabs the top rope and just catapults herself over them and into a nice splash that sends Jacob back down to the mats below!
Angelica just grabs Jacob and lifts him slowly back to his feet before hitting some fast and powerful forearms to his face, she then walks him back around the ring to the announce desk and just slams his face into it before rolling him back onto it, she then points to the top rope sending the fans into raptures of applause and excitement, with a nod of agreement, she turns and climbs into the ring before leaping to the top rope, she then turns to face Jacob who is lying dazed on the announcers desk.
Brody:
No! NO! Angelica, don’t do it!!
Sweeney:
Shit, she really is!!
She lifts her arms above her head, before suddenly, SHE FLIES, SHE FLIES, ANGELICA LEAPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND LOOKS TO DROP AN ELBOW ON JACOB THROUGH THE TABLE, BUT NOOOOO! JACOB SITS UP AND ROLLS AWAY AND ANGELICA EXPLODES THROUGH THE TABLE TO THE SHOCK OF THE FANS!!!
“Holy shit” over and over again ring out as Angelica lays motionless in the rubble off the announce table, Jacob just sits alongside the carnage, however he just rolls to his feet and grabs Angelica before literally dragging her across to the apron, he lifts her up and then suddenly rolls her into the ring, he rolls in after,
He covers,

NO!!! Angelica kicks out, SOMEHOW!!!
Jacob cannot believe it and just rolls to his feet again, he grabs Angelica and lifts her to her feet in the middle of the ring, but as he does, Angelica certainly has a spurt of adrenaline and slaps his arms away before kicking him in the stomach, WAIT A MINUTE!!! HOT SHOT, HOT SHOT, HOT SHOT!!! SHE HITS IT!!! ANGELICA IS GOING TO BE THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER!! She covers,
1…

NO!!!! JACOB LAYMON KICKS OUT!!!
Brody:
Holy shit, how? How did he do it??
Angelica just looks on in disbelief and with a tired glaze in her eyes, she rolls to her feet and slowly begins to lift the lifeless Jacob Laymon, finally she stands him up and just kicks him in the stomach again, HOT SHOT AGAIN!?! NO! Jacob suddenly stands and lifts her over his head, she hits the canvas and arches her back as Laymon stumbles away, slowly she stands, but as she does, Laymon moves forward, turns her around, boots her in the stomach and without taunt or hesitation, suddenly lifts her off the mat, OWNED!!! HE HITS IT, BOUNCING ANGELICA OFF THE MAT, Finally, this has to be it? He drops to the mat and hooks the leg,
1…

YES! This time he has done it, this time he has confirmed what he said he always knew, Jacob Laymon is officially the World Champion’s number 1 contender! Jacob instantly rolls out off the ring and just backs up the ramp, not even waiting for his arm to be raised. He just glares at Angelica who really gave him a run for his money and nearly beat him in the middle of the ring, nonetheless, Jacob just forces a smile and with a groggy Angelica in the ring, the camera finally return backstage.

Priest is seen backstage, throwing a table across the lobby, he then grabs a chair and slams it into the wall before dropping it, he then stops and turns to see Jake Dangerously staring at him.
Priest:
Where is Rayne Young?
Jake:
I haven’t seen him… Sorry.
Priest:
Really, is that so?
Priest just laughs manically to himself before suddenly he grabs Jake by the throat and just slams him hard into the wall knocking him to the ground with a thud. He stands over Jake momentarily and then storms out of shot, the fury of the big man clear for all to see.
******************************************************************************
Riley Addison is seen pacing in his office momentarily only for the door to be slammed open, he sighs and rolls his eyes at the angry entrance, but is met with yet another demand from yet another superstar in the back, although it seems he isn’t so surprised by this one. Brandy Danielle appears, her face furious with what happened tonight.
Brandy:
Ok, so, I have Tara in the back being checked on by the doctor and not because she fairly got eliminated from the match with Eli Legacy, no, but because YOU didn’t get your shit together and make sure she was protected on her way to the ring.
Riley:
So you’re blaming me for this?
Brandy:
Who else huh?
Riley:
How about you blame Brittany Lohan for what she did to cost Tara the match huh? I mean really, it is so easy for everyone here to blame the boss, right? I’ve heard it for 2 months now. Thing’s don’t go your way – blame the boss – you have a shit performance, fuck it – blame the boss.
Brandy just goes quiet suddenly as Riley walks across to his desk and places a piece of paper down in front of her, she looks down and reads it to herself.
Riley:
That right there, is next weeks card. You and Tara are going to fight against the first time team of Marie Williams & Hannah Monroe, if you beat them by pinning Marie… You’ll be granted a tag team title shot at the next pay per view, sound ok to you?
Brandy:
I’d rather have Brittany and Marie?
Riley:
She’s off due to administration issues, so no can do, but this was the next best thing, take it or leave it?
Brandy just slides the paper back to Riley and smiles.
Brandy:
You’re looking at your next World tag team champions, that a good enough yes for you?
Riley:
All I needed. Now if you don’t mind?
Brandy just nods in acknowledgment and turns out of the office closing the door behind her, as he does, Riley looks on.

Main Event
Glory Braddock Vs Marie Williams Vs Michael Kyzer
Outcome;
The sound of Apocalypses music hits the speaker system causing the fans to boo loudly, many of them feeling disgruntled and unhappy at the way Angelica Jones was dropped earlier in the night and the new found attitude of this group. Suddenly Glory and Marie both appear together on the stage, they walk down the ramp and just ignore the fans, something they haven’t done before, they then enter the ring and wait patiently for the music to end as Glory grabs a microphone.
Glory:
So… It seems Michael Kyzer had a little run in with someone backstage and won’t be out here to compete tonight and so that leaves me and Marie Williams and being that we are both from Apocalypse, we’ve come to a conclusion… That we won’t be fighting each other either!
Boos explode from the fans as they hear Glory’s words.
Glory:
Oh boo, boo all you like, but why should me and Marie put our bodies on the line for plate smashing, bankrupt pieces of crap like you, like Greece? Huh!?! Being a proud British citizen, I can tell you that Europe, especially shit holes like this country have dragged down my own society, my own people and it is because of people like you that the economy of the world is declining, quickly.
More boos explode out as Glory just shakes her head in shame, the shame of standing in front of these people.
Glory:
Do you see what I’m wearing on my shoulder you fucking ingrates, do you? I am the World bloody champion and that means I got some stroke around here, some influence and tonight, I’m using that to say fuck you to Greece and fuck you to this match, because me and Marie, we aren’t doing it, instead, we are going to enjoy the night off, head backstage, enjoy some drinks and then celebrate the NEW look Apocalypse.
More boos circle the arena as Glory grins and lifts her title in the air, she then turns and high fives Marie Williams, she is about to put the microphone down when suddenly the music of Jackson Adams suddenly plays across the speaker system, he suddenly walks out to the confusion of Glory and Marie, he has a microphone in hand and waits for his music to finish before speaking.
Jackson:
Wow, the new look Apocalypse, right? You, Brittany, Marie and me? Until when Glory? When do you stop and say ‘goodbye Jackson’, huh? Because it seems pretty damn obvious to me that loyalty means fuck all to you, it means nothing, not a damn thing or Angelica would have been supported by all of us, not cast aside like you’ve let her be.
Glory:
Jackson, you’re looking at this all wrong…
Jackson:
Am I? Am I Glory? Because the last time I looked, you were overshadowing me at every opportunity, the same reason you got rid of Angelica, the way I see it Glory, is that earlier tonight when Jacob and Rayne were beating me down, I didn’t see you help, or Brittany or even our ‘newest’ member, Marie, where the fuck were you? Do you know who DID come out to save my ass? Angelica fucking Jones came out, Riley Addison even got stuck in and I got myself saved, but not by the people who I consider friends, instead, by someone I’m being told to outcast and someone else I’m being told makes shit decisions every week and does nothing right for the company!
Cheers erupt as Jackson just angrily paces the staging and glares down the ramp at Glory and Marie, he then speaks some more.
Jackson:
Oh and by the way, when did we start refusing to fight one another huh? I don’t recall you ever doing that to me!?! But I guess that figures, so Glory… Let me make something official to you right now, the ‘new’ look Apocalypse, the new look team you had in mind, it doesn’t really work for me, so as of right now… I’m out.
The fans cheer loudly from every side of the arena as Jackson throws the microphone down and just glares down the ramp at Glory and Marie both them standing in the ring and in shock at what he has just said, what he has just announced. The credit suddenly appear in the corner as Jackson just takes a final bow and with an angry glare at the World Champion, just turns and leaves the staging area, the final shots of the night being of Glory and Marie just in utter shock at what has just happened.
