Excited for everything guys, let's have an awesome show!
Just a reminder, since this is a two week event, if you don't have a match, if you and someone else do a promo together to set up an impromptu match it can happen. So just putting that out there. Good luck to all the defending champions, and their challengers!

Two long, dimly lit hallways made of what looked to be some kind of limestone that wore a torch every couple of feet. In between each torch was a stone statue of a figure. Some looked to be that of a male while others were of a female but in the very middle of the hall stood another figure that was not made of stone. It was a human being. Two of them actually, but they each stood in their own, respective halls. One of the two men was a Beast who has fought many of wars and conquered many men who stood toe to toe with him. He is one of the most feared men in the sport today. That man is none other than Brock Lesnar. The other is a man who claims to be Phenomenal. He’s better than the Best in the World. He’s traveled the world and beat many of men. Because of that, this man is one of the most respect warriors in all of wrestling today. The second man is AJ Styles… And they begin to walk
Their faces stay faced forward on the light that was at the end of the tunnel. But as they walk, we start to get a better look at some of the statues that they walked by. Brock walks by a statue holding a championship on their shoulder. She’s dangerous. She’s the woman who retired one of the greatest female wrestlers in XWL history. It’s a statue of the current Women’s Champion, Mia Yim. And in AJ Styles’ hall, as he walked he passed a statue of Mia Yim’s challenger. The woman who walked with more confidence than a hundred men combined. A statue of Sasha Banks stood there.
Both men continued to walk as that light continued to grow a little brighter with each step, showing that the destination was almost in reach for the both of them. But they continued to pass these statues. To Lesnar’s left stood a statue of a man who has done it all and won it all in the company. It was a man who would surely enter the Hall of Fame if XWL ever had one. Though the nickname might have been self-proclaimed, it was fitting. He was the Golden Ticket of this brand. The ever-so-confident Matt Sydal who of course wore that shit eating grin. But Styles was walking by one of XWL’s longest tenured stars. A man who made his return to the company to attack the Golden Ticket not too long ago. Eric Young. And then not long after Eric Young came another man who has caused the Golden Ticket some trouble in recent times and that was yet another man who was well-respected. It was a male who labeled himself as a King of Strong Style. Shinsuke Nakamura.
The stars continue to be showed as the two men continue their walk. CM Punk. Sami Zayn. Natalya. Paige. Dolph Ziggler. Austin Aries. Bray Wyatt. Leo Kruger. Seth Rollins. Matt Hardy. R-Truth. Randy Orton. Sister April. Matt Striker. All of the warriors that we will see competing tonight are standing there in statue form… until the line stops because both of the men reach the end of their tunnel. Now they stand outside in a large, open colosseum like location. In-between the two gladiators sat the XWL World Heavyweight Championship. The men have eyes locked on one another as the bad blood between the two was well known… but two names seemed to go missing until the also appeared out of their own respective halls that sat at their own ends of the circle colosseum. Dean Ambrose and the XWL World Heavyweight Champion himself, Roman Reigns. Now the four man stood in a crosshair like pattern with the championship gold positioned in the middle. We get a good look at all the men and then the prize they are fighting for.
Each man lifts their weapon of choice for this battle, what would the leader of the Roman Empire be without his trusty Spear, a tried and true weapon that's secured him victory in many battles, he hoists his spear high into the air and lets out a loud war cry in an attempt to strike fear into his opponents. The next combatant to lift his weapon is Dean Ambrose, the Lunatic Fringe opts to go with his patented barbed wire baseball bat, a weapon designed for sheer destruction and also designed to rip apart human flesh at a moments notice. Ambrose looks to combine this deadly weapon with some Dirty Deeds to ensure victory in this battle. On the other hand, that weapon combined with Dirty Deeds STILL might not be enough to slay the Beast Incarnate, simply because he is no man, he is a freak of nature. Brock Lesnar needs no weapon, as he has 2 at his disposal already...Lesnar removes his gloves unveiling his fists, fists that will no doubt reign hell upon the unlucky combatant who is struck by them. Lesnar unleashes a pterodactyl like scream that is intended to send chills down a man's spine, not because of how awful it sounds, but because it serves as warning sign, a warning sign that these 3 men are going to Suplex City by way of highway F5. Now it's AJ Styles turn to choose his weapon of choice and he goes with the Bow and Arrow. A weapon that requires precision marksmenship to be effective with, and that's what AJ Styles is, a marksmen, an expert at what he does, he hits his maneuvers in the ring with pinpoint precision, his Phenomenal Forearm is a brutal weapon in itself, intended on caving a man's skull in with the brunt of the forearm, it's a weapon that AJ Styles will no doubt look for in this battle.
Each of these men have chosen there weapons of choice, and now tonight, it's time to do battle, on this date it shall be known that 4 gladiators, 4 warriors went to war over the right to EMERGE victorious and call themselves champion of the world....
WARRIORS, STAND YOUR GROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AJ covers his face with a bandana like skull mask as he gears up to do battle, Roman cocks his fist and raises his spear in his other hand, Dean twirls his barbed wire bat around in his hand just waiting to smash it across someone's skull, and Brock jogs in place preparing to unleash hell upon the other 3 warriors.......
The 4 men rush towards the World Championship in the center all screaming and raising their weapons during their mad dash towards the title, all of sudden, just like that, all 4 men are within a body length of reaching the title, claiming it as there own, and EMERGING VICTORIOUS, the camera focuses in on Roman Reigns who jumps at the title 1st and shouts "I WILL EMERGE", the camera freeze frames on him as he's in superman punch motion, the camera turns towards Ambrose who is jumping towards the title, he also shouts "I WILL EMERGE". The camera freeze frames on him as he swings his bat at Roman. The camera turns towards Brock who is diving towards the title as if he was about to hit an mma style takedown on it. Lesnar shouts "I WILL EMERGE" as the camera freeze frames on him mid jump. and then there was one, the Phenomenal One, rather then jump into the chaos that is going on in front of him, he takes his time, pulls out and arrow, draws it back, and fires it into the fray of the 3 men fighting over the title, as the arrow quickly nears it's destination AJ in a deep intense voice shouts "I WILL EMERGE". Suddenly a quick black and blue P1 logo flashes over the screen before being erased by a fiery Emergence logo......
Then the voices of all 4 men overlap.....
"I, WILL EMERGE VICTORIOUS!!!!"
The video package comes to an end and Emergence goes live on Pay Per View.
The camera pans to a dark quiet room. A feminine giggle can be heard be a pair or red lips breach the darkness. The lips take the form of a grin
(???) Darkness is my keeper. Pain my best friend. And fear is my mission...
From the darkness Emerges Sister April with a sinister aura around her. In her dark brown eyes there is nothing. Eyes vacant like a doll but lips twisted into a frightening smile.
(Sister April) Tonight is Emergence and I believe that is the perfect name for what will happen later. I have been slowly sweeping my way through the..."Women's" division. Making a mockery of the challengers before me I-
Suddenly April's eyes widen a little as she hold her head a little. She grimaces in pain for a little before calming herself. April begins to talk but...not to the camera. No, she begins to speak to herself.
(Sister April) Shh shhhhhh. I know you want out AJ. But you're not ready. I haven't done what I was sent here to do yet. You don't want them to hurt you again do you? No. I know you don't. Just let me take care of things and when I give you back control it'll be a better place for you. Okay hon?
April seems to remember the there is a camera in front of her
(Sister April) Where was I? Oh yeah, my opponents. Let us start with...Paige. Paige is what people would call...a poser. Paige will come out here and flaunt this whole "Rebel" shtick. She'll complete dismiss all the other petty women and claim how she is a true wrestler but she ends up using the same tactics as the other women. Surprise attacks like she did to Natalya's little friend. Calling me a slut. Petty insults and surprise attacks are her weapons of choice and it landed her a match. It's too bad for her that it landed her a match with ME
April rubs her arms and body slowly, as if scars should be there
(Sister April) I've seen what Paige can do. She beat the number one contender Sasha Banks last week. And I've heard about the pain she put AJ through. I felt every thumbtack enter her body through her. Felt the screams of agony AJ as she laid there listening to the crowd lose their minds over the carnage. I was in her mind as she wept and cried in pain while Bray removed the thumbtacks from her. AJ wanted to prove to the crowd, to herself, and to Paige that she could handle any any everything. Paige took advantage of that eagerness and used it to destroy her. So congrats Paige, you took a broken girl to her limit...
April's head snaps up to the camera and there is excitement in her smile. And fury in her eyes
(Sister April) And you helped make me. But when you stare in my eyes in that ring tonight you'll realize I'm NOT AJ. When you feel every punch, kick, stomp, elbow, forearm, headbutt and anything else I decide to torture you with you will realize that I have no MERCY. And when I spider walk to you...you will understand that I. Am. Fear. Most importantly, when the ref raises my hand tonight you will realize that I am a Monster that can't be control, tamed, or beaten. But enough about you...lets talk about Nattie
April's expression softens. The rage that swam around her eyes is replaced with mirth.
(Sister April) Oh Nattie...you are the only thing that gives me help for this division. Integrity. Sportsmanship. Respect. You embody these things like no one else. Which is why it hurts to see you fall short. Like in your match with the Women's champion Mia. You might not believe me but I really wanted you to win. I was pulling for you once again to prove me wrong but...you didn't. You did what you always do. You went out there and put on an awesome match. Showed that in terms of technical wrestling you really are the queen. But you lost. And in the end all those impressive things are reduced to nothing. You disappointed me,
(Sister April) But...you did something everyone has overlooked. In our tag match a couple weeks ago I turned on my partner. I did it partly out of annoyance at her arrogance. But I was also giving you a test. A test I didn't expect you to pass but...I was shocked. I left Mia a heap in the ring for you. To see what you would do with the chance. Would super morals Nattie actually take advantage of a unfair situation? And my god you DID! Yeah you hesitated but you picked Mia up and delivered a N bomb. It was amazing. You showed not only to me but to everyone else that deep inside you is a predator. Someone willing to get their hands dirty.
April slowly holds her arms out, as if waiting to accept something
(Sister April) Join me Nattie. I know you'll need some convincing but after I win I will turn to you with my arms outstretched like this. Join my side Natalya. We can really change this division. We can change EVERYTHING!...Or...
Her arms slowly come limp by her sides and her expression hardens
(Sister April) You can deny me. And watch as I rain fear and hell fire over the Women's division. You can be apart of the change...or I will rip through you and every one else.
April begins to walk back into the shadows, the black consuming her. She continues to talk but if you listen close you can hear whispers as if more people are in the dark with her
(Sister April) I will not be denied! "It Is Her Time" A monster has been awoke! "There Is No More Hope" Follow me women of any age! "You Will Know Pain Paige" I hope you don't choose wrong sadly! "Make The Right Choice Nattie" Don't try to fight us! "Sister April Guides Us!" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The end comes near *All the voices, including April's speak at once* "We All Live In Fear"
XWL goes to it's next segment

The audience is set for the first match of the evening as Lilian Garcia begins to speak.
Lilian Garcia "Ladies and gentlemen, our first match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first..."
Suddenly, the lights in the arena shut off and we are met with a familiar theme song.
.
.
.
.
With microphone in hand, Miz slowly walks out onto the stage. Surprisingly, he receives cheers from the New York audience.
As his music fades, The Miz stands there as he takes in the cheering audience.
He begins to speak.
✮THE MIZ✮ "New... York... City..."
The audience begins to cheer again.
✮THE MIZ✮ "The Big Apple! The City That Never Sleeps! ...and here we are in the most famous arena in the world,.. Madison Square Garden."
Even more cheers interrupt The Miz.
✮THE MIZ✮ "The biggest stars in sports and entertainment have stepped foot in this very building. Names like Hulk Hogan, Michael Jackson, John Lennon, Michael Jordan, Miley Cyrus, and Muhammad Ali... and now standing before you is a bigger star than all of them. THE most must-see XWL Superstar in the entire history of XWL! The entire history of sports and entertainment! Standing before you is THE MIZ!"
The cheering begins to be overtaken by a sea of boos.
✮THE MIZ✮ "Oh... Really? You're going to boo me?"
This only causes the audience to boo even louder. The Miz begins to become irritated.
✮THE MIZ✮ "Really? Really?! I come out here and give you my time, MY TIME!.. and this is what I get? After I complimented your city.. After I complimented and graced your arena with my presence. You boo me?"
✮THE MIZ✮ "Well you can continue to waste your breath, because the opinions of a bunch of stinky... disgusting New Yorkers mean absolutely nothing to me. You see, I am from the greatest place on the face of planet Earth. I'm from Hollywood! The way I see it, New York is just behind Hollywood in second place and to quote a great pop culture icon, like myself, 'If you ain't first, you're last' and by being last... that makes all of you a bunch of losers."
The boos now turn into "You suck!" chants. This really sets The Miz off.
✮THE MIZ✮ "I don't suck! I was a former United States Champion! I was a former World Heavyweight Champion! I have one of the the most successful, most memorable championship reigns in the history of this business. Many years from now, they will sculpt a Mount Rushmore of XWL. They will only need to sculpt one face. That face will be mine, because I'm the only true star in this company. I've starred in some of the highest grossing films of all time. Films such as The Marine 3: Homefront, The Marine 4: Moving Target, and The Marine 5: Battleground which comes out next year."
✮THE MIZ✮ "Impressive, I know. It's not every day an A-List movie star is standing right in front of you... but enough about me. I bet you're all wondering why I'm here."
The audience boos again, but this time The Miz raises his hand above his head.
✮THE MIZ✮ "Quiet! When my hand goes up, your mouths go shut! I am the star, you are not. I've had it with your lack of respect!.. Just as I have had it with the lack of respect I get in XWL. I am a star!! A star!! I'm not even scheduled to compete tonight and let's be honest, this show needs me. You all.. need me. Hold on."
Miz pulls out paper from his back pocket. The paper contains tonight's match card. The Miz begins reading over the paper.
✮THE MIZ✮ "Money In the Bank? Very interesting match type, but it's about the superstars in it and honestly... meh. Next we have... random match, yawn. Next we have some dude... whatever. A bunch of Women's matches... a bunch of other random matches... Oh, here's one. We have a triple threat match that includes Evan... excuse me... Matt Sydal versus a little caveman versus a Japanese Michael Jackson impersonator. May be some entertainment there, but let's be honest..."
A "boring!" chant erupts throughout Madison Square Garden.
✮THE MIZ✮ "If this is "boring", then I feel sorry for you judging by this line-up. I only have one more... the main event. Khal Drogo defends his throne against three other guys in a match that ultimately means nothing, because whoever wins is just keeping the World Heavyweight Championship warm for me... Like I said, XWL needs me. You people need me. You may be in denial but at the end of the day, you all know I'm right. Soon, my face will be plastered on the cup you're drinking your sodas from. My shirt will be worn by millions. You won't be able to turn the channel on your television without seeing THE MIZ. I am the star this show has so sorely needed for a long time... and do you want to know why?"
The audience responds with a resounding "NO!", but The Miz continues any way.
✮THE MIZ✮ "..BECAUSE I'M THE MIZ!!.. AND I'M!!"
✮THE MIZ✮ "..AWESOME!"
As the audience boos, The Miz points his microphone at the camera before making his way to the back.
We go to the back where the TMZ style cameraman is waiting when a door can be heard opening behind him. He turns around.
CESARO Not you again. Do you just wait around back here?
CAMERAMAN Kinda. So how does it feel knowing you're not in the MITB match or going for the Elite Championship, when those are the 2 things you've been pushing for the last month and a half?
CESARO As I've said before it sucks. But that does not matter anymore.
CAMERAMAN No?
CESARO No. My new mission in my life, my goal tonight is to keep R-Truth from winning that match. Keep him from walking out with that briefcase. By any means necessary.
CAMERAMAN I mean he did get in there fair and square, didn't he?
Cesaro looks at him.
CESARO If you excuse me, Im told I have match tonight to go prepare for.
what? no love for the funnest feud going on in xwl at the moment? wheres the truth and cesaro love lol
I mean nothing eventful happened yet this week...
if you said what his match was maybe, but you just kinda, didn't really accomplish much outside of your desire to keep Truth from winning, which....you didn't really expand enough on. The whole promo just felt like it ended too soon before we as viewers could feel anything.
I meant in general lol. And also arcs man arcs. You spread it out. You dont give it up on the first date.

You do if you want them to come back if we're going to use your promo as the analogy.

well your point would be valid if that was the start of said feud, which it isnt. i would have a response gif, but the only one i can think of is the snapping of fingers, which as tv has thought me over the years, is by a sassy black woman. and i would feel wrong posting that. so heres this.

The reason Miz got comments on his promos because it's his first promo as Miz and he accomplished something with the promo. You'll maybe get comments after your arcs on arcs on arcs are all up, but as it stands now I'm not that captivated by what you did because you left us without really any reason to truly care because there wasn't that hook. You said you weren't gonna let Truth win MITB, but we need to feel the fire, the passion for not wanting him to win, the reminder that you're still feuding, what happened last week, all of that was missing, so there's no true reason for us to comment yet.
Also word of advice if you want comments on your stuff, don't try to force it, you want genuine comments, which come sometimes, and sometimes they don't. Don't take it too personally, just do what you enjoy and we'll enjoy it right along with you. Now that's enough on the matter, didn't want this to become a big thing but if you expect love for Cesaro/Truth wait until you give us something to latch onto this week, we're not randomly going to comment on the feud this show until there's a reason to comment.
