Technology can either bind us to an individual or it can set us apart from everyone around us. It’s what makes advancements happen, furthering our existence and the reality shaped before us. We go into the internet to seek answers, a better understanding, friendship and even love. There is also something that lies within it, a code. A code that constructs everything, every part.
There is ALSO a coding.. In
ALL
OF
US.
A flash of a computer screen appears in a semi lit up room and you can see segments from Anarchy of Alpha Club which consists of Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens going head to head with Trash City Stupid Idiots, Chad Gable and Chris Sabin. The tag titles phase in between the two teams, with the options in a circle. A selection is picked but is voided out from the view, the selector is a woman wearing business casual clothing. She turns her face to the camera and begins walking down a narrow hallway with tiles that light up underneath her, Asuka is revealed to be the woman.
She turns her attention to another computer screen that brightens up and a smile comes across her face, she goes to select a button as well, for Leo Kruger vs Shawn Michaels. Continuing her walk, Rusev phases into the screen, and so does Matt Hardy.. Behind them are Aiden English for Rusev and Jeff Hardy for Matt. They are wanting to defend them, and Asuka smirks only for a selection to be pressed remaining confident in her choice.
Last but not least she turns her attention to the title matches that are all in a row, and snaps her fingers. You can see Natalya proudly holding her title up high, as well as Eli Drake and Dean Ambrose.
DECISIONS.. DECISIONS.
What will you decide, do you want to see a champion rise to the occasion, or do you want to see a new challenger arise to defeat them? It’s always been you, you have the power. You just didn’t know it yet, and now that you do. Are you going to change the course of history, with the technology in the palm of your hands, in the click of a finger.. Leave us with the mystery.
The bundle of women’s matches are thrown onto a screen besides Asuka, who’s been walking for quite some time. Rhonda Rousey vs Sasha Banks, now that’s one I would look out for, especially with The Boss vs The Rowdy One, having UFC rules as an option.. who knows what could happen? You do.
Are we going to pretend like it’s not a chance, we could see someone in a casket, by tonight? Demon Allie vs April. Evil creeps up when you least expect it, someone has expected it though, and is looking forward to it. You are.
DO WE EVER TRULY DECIDE OUR FATES?
Jimmy Havoc vs Cody blocks the path of Asuka and she quickly pushes it aside after selecting an option, yet intrigued to see what comes of it. Are you ready for what’s in store?
Andrade “Cien” Almas vs Seth Rollins, a battle for supremacy and to show that they are the future of this company, two elite level athletes one on one. This is their proving ground, and you decide what is foretold of their tale.
Roman Reigns vs Matt Sydal, will it be the Big Dog of XWL that claims his yard forever, or will it be The Golden One, a member of The Undisputed Era, putting the dog out of his misery. Perhaps you can teach an old dog new tricks. Asuka laughs to herself as she turns the corner, and flame appears alongside fireflies.
What do these two have in common, Bray Wyatt vs Kyle O’Reilly. They have a fighting spirit, will it overtake them in the heat.. Of battle? Will it consume them whole, are they going to survive this. Who knows, besides you.
OR ARE WE SELECTING OUR DESTINY.
NOTHING IS FOR CERTAIN
The challengers all line up for Eli Drake’s championship, and you can see them tug away at the strap, holograms the seven and barely recognizable.
Natalya is not letting anyone take her title from her as she sits on her throne, waving to those down below. Adjusting the championship, she fades away and appears Dean Ambrose scrunching up the title in his right hand. His left hand balled up into a fist, a smirk and his voice heard “You want this? TAKE IT!”
The choices to be made are what reflects us, what makes us. Asuka sees a mask on the end of the walk, near a door that has a sign that says EXIT. The last computer screen is flickering, and you can hear her breath, the crunching of her fist. Alexa Bliss is on the screen first, then comes herself. This is the culmination of everything she fought against. The bullying rampage, and now the hunter has become the hunted. A series of coding swirls around her as she rips off each article of her business wear. You can see The Empress begin to form with each step towards the exit.
She stops at the exit and turns her head looking backwards…… nothing is heard and only silence until she speaks up.
I’VE MADE MY CHOICE….
I’M READY..
ARE YOU?
The screen cracks and then falls apart, with various internet persona’s rushing the screen, and then pitch blackness.
A loud slam can be heard and the words drop down onto a keyboard.
CYBERSLAM
STARTS
NOW.
ALL SYSTEMS GO!

We see a low light bedroom, but somehow looks oddly familiar? The camera zooms in on a couple laying in bed together. At this moment it is hard to make out the faces of the couple. It isn't until the camera gets closer to reveal Matt Hardy, and Queen Rebecca sleeping side by side. The camera drws just a bit closer to get the perfect angel of Matt sleeping.
He sits up quickly, and looks around the room. Realizing what day it is a smile forms across his face.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] Queen Rebecca!
Queen Rebecca jerks out of sleep, and she sits up. She looks upon her husband slightly annoyed.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] Do you know what this day marks?
Her eyes widen as she look to the calendar on her left side sitting on a night stand, and the date reads September 24th, 2018. A slight smile arises upon her face as she understands exactly why her husband is this excited.
[ Queen Rebecca ] Yes, today is the day for redemption.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] YEAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAAS! The Seven Deities have called upon me to lend aid to my brother, Jeffery Nero Hardy also known as The Notorious Brother Nero. My vessel was still damaged as of a couple weeks ago, but they called upon me. They bestowed INCREDIBLE magical healing upon me restoring my vessel to it's proper ways before the incident...
"Broken" Matt Hardy closes his eyes, and it appears that a flashback occurs as we are shown a translucent video of "Broken" Matt Hardy, and Kenny Omega fighting at the top of a arena. We see Kenny throw off "Broken" Matt Hardy, and he twitches then tilts his body as we see his body crash to the floor.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] I absolutely grateful for the kind act The Seven Deities did upon myself so I may aid my brother against this brute that they call Ru Sev! For weeks... I have seen nothing but these dastardly acts by Ru Sev, and Ai Den English. The time for games is OVAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
"Broken" Matt throws the covers off himself. He looks down as moves his legs off to the side of the bed, and his feet touch the floor. He looks up with a slight smirk on his face. The camera pans outward as Senor Benjamin peeks his head into the room.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] Senor procure my coat of battle. Tonight, there shall be MASSACRE at CyberSlam!
[Senor Benjamin] Yes, Mr. Hardy..
"Broken" Matt stands to his feet as we see Senor Benjamin head exit out of the room, and wearing well fitted sweat expensive cotton sweatpants.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] Ru Sev! You have tried to tranish everything Hardy, but you have failed to realize that I am everything that is Hardy!
"Broken" Matt spreads his arms out wide with a weird smile upon his face.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] Here in XWL I have taken the name to new heights even Jeffery Nero Hardy would not jump from! You may have be champion currently Ru Sev, but I am have been THEE CHAMPION! I have been king of XWL as I sat on the top of the kingdom defending my land.
He walks over to his closet, and grabs a black jacket from his closet. "Broken" Matt puts on the jacket, but then his eyes close then takes in a loud gasping noise with his mouth wide open.
His eyes open, and a look of pure excitement shown on the face on "Broken" Matt Hardy.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] I JUST HAD A VERY POTENT PREMONITION YEAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAS! Tonight is the resurrection of my career, and there is no doubt within my mind that tonight there will be a DELETION YEAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAS oooooOOOOOooOOooOooOOoOOOoOoooOOo! Ru Sev you have been warned for weeks now of my return. You have forced the hands of The Seven Deities by your actions! You shall be stepping into my domain Ru Sev.
"Broken" Matt begins walking away from the camera, but it follows as he begins talking his voice echoes through the hallway.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] For millenniums my soul has traveled vessel to vessel acquiring knowledge not any mere mortal can get. I have been bestowed great war techniques with greatest minds to ever take part in war, and trust me when I say this none of them were Bulgarian. Does that mean Bulgarian's aren't good at battle? No it just means Bulgarians are not the best, and the skills that I have been given to confront anyone just know now Ru Sev that you sir.. ARE OUT MATCHED!
"Broken" Matt Hardy turns around abruptly, and looks directly into your camera.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] and as for what your wife Lana said... that I am a low-class, all-American imbecile. If either of you had the ability to register what exactly you see you would be able to determine for yourselves that I am far from lower-class. Not there is anything wrong with being a lower-class, but the years that I have been going to battle within the squared circle don't think I would have nothing to show for it. I am WONDERFUL provider for mi familia. With the help of The Seven Deities I will provide a better future for King Maxel, and Lord Wolfgang. They help me lead my Broken Army into war, and tonight at CyberSlam they shall march by my side into battle! Once you pick on one member of House Hardy the whole house lashes out!
"Broken" Matt goes quite for a second lowering his head as he speaks out in anger, and pain.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] You want a fight Ru Sev? You have picked the wrong family to fuck with.. I have failed my brother once, and I SHALL NEVA DO IT A GAIN!
His eyes tell a story of pain as a single tear drop falls from his left eye. The he feels that he still feels terrible for letting his brother go to far into the darkness. He quickly wipes it away regaining his composure. He again turns his back to the camera, and leads onward to a balcony looking over the his living room. He stops, and rests his arms on the railing, and looks downward upon his living room as slight smile begins to form.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] Tonight joy fills my vessel as I make my return home. I just hope Ru Sev you are in for the fight of your life, because I am more than just a normal homosapien. I am of the light. I am a celestial being. I am magic! I am unlike anything you EVA
"Broken" Matt turns towards the camera spreading his arms out wide with a big grin upon his face.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] FACED BEFORE!!!
Senor Benjamin walks into frame with a long red, and black jacket with a smile on his face.
[Senor Benjamin] Here you go Mr. Hardy... Your coat of Battle.
"Broken" Matt lowers his arms, and looks upon Senor Benjamin with grin.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] Senor Benjamin, thank you for being such a diligent member of my army. No matter what I can count on you to be by my side.
Senor Benjamin nods then hands over there the coat of battle to "Broken" Matt, and then makes his leave. Then "Broken" Matt takes off his black jacket, and puts on his coat of battle. He buckles each buckle on his jacket as he laughs weirdly to his self.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] I'm almost complete! If you can hold for a breif moment cameraman... I must RETREAT to my room, and I must change out of these WONDERFUL sweatpants into my pants...
"Broken" Matt walks quickly out of frame, and a few moments pass. A child's laugh can be heard as the camera pans around looking for the laugh out of nowhere the camera pans downward to see King Maxel looking up into the camera.
["King" Maxel] DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!
"King" Maxel copies his father's signature DELETE taunt.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] YEAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAS!
"Broken" Matt returns dressed ready for a fight in his wrestling gear.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] King Maxel is very excited for his father to return back to XWL, and trust me King Maxel when I say it's not to long from now.
"King" Maxel claps his hands together, and laughs then runs down the hall showing his excitement.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] I think it is time... to reunite with Jeffery Nero Hardy... Queen Rebecca!
Queen Rebecca walks out into the hallway looking beautiful as ever.
[ Queen Rebecca ] Is it time to go my love?
["Broken" Matt Hardy] Yes my queen. I must reunite with my brother.. Please grab Lord Wolfgang, and we shall all go. Vanguard One!
Vanguard One flies into the room, and hover right next to "Broken"Matt.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] Will you allow us to indulge in your useage to travel to Brooklyn where CYBERSLAM is occuring tonight?
Some beeps, and boops come from Vangaurd One, but subtitles appear on the screen.
[Vanguard One] Yeah cuzzy! Glad to see you being well normal again..
["Broken" Matt Hardy] WONDERFUL!!!
At that moment Queen Rebecca returns with Lord Wolfgang, and King Maxel.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] It is time!
"Broken" Matt bends down grabbing King Maxel, and lifting him up so he is not left behind. "Broken" Matt, and Queen Rebecca both place their hands upon Vanguard One.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] Vanguard One take us to Brooklyn...
A blue light begins surrounding The Hardy Family, and a big flash of light occurs. When the light disappears The Hardy Family is gone. The screen darkens to black as we go to commercial

After quite the intoxicating soliloquoy from the home of Broken Brilliance, we cut to the middle of the ring when the lights in the arena cut out! However, a red spotlight forms soon after, highlighting the sillhouette of a very familiar sight, the mysterious masked figure known only as "The Voice of Anarchy" standing front and center, microphone in hand.
[Corey Graves] What the hell...?
[Mauro Ranallo] My god, Corey, that...that's...
[Corey Graves] That's her...that's her, Mauro! The Voice of Anarchy is at Cyberslam!
[The Voice of Anarchy] Do you know what it's like to be a hero? I do. Do you know what it's like to swallow your pride to be the "good guy" and try to depend on people cheering your name? I do. But along the way, I learned a very, very valuable life lesson.
[The Voice of Anarchy] Why bother trying to be the hero, when once you've saved the world, you realize that it was never worth saving to begin with? Here's the quick answer to that question: You don't be the hero. You be what you were always taught to hate. You become what fairytales and storybooks always taught you to despise: You become the villain. You become someone who has to cause a bit of...anarchy...to get your message across. And I know that you're listening to my voice. The Voice...of Anarchy is a voice that will never be silenced. Why?
[The Voice of Anarchy] Because I'm here for one reason: Revenge. Revenge on the woman who tried to end my career. I want to ruin Natalya's life...just like she tried to do to me, when she ripped my knee apart. My ACL, MCL, they were both nearly ripped from the bone. My meniscus was torn. My doctor said that I may never walk without a limp...wrestling was nearly out of the picture. So why is Natalya the hero? Because she conquered the evil, vindictive villain who was trying to end her career? All she did was try to end my career instead.
The Voice of Anarchy audibly sighs into the microphone before tossing her head downwards. She pushes the hood of her sweatshirt back, unveiling the entirety of her mask, covering most of her head except for her eyes. However, that wasn't all she planned on revealing. The mysterious woman reached behind her head, starting to pull her signature mask off her head.
[Mauro Ranallo] Corey, Corey, she's unmasking!
[Corey Graves] I can see that, Mauro! I'm not blind!
[Mauro Ranallo] Who could be under that mask?
[Corey Graves] How the hell should I know!?
Finally, the mask comes off, and the woman who has been crypticly threatening Natalya for months is revealed at last. Just who is The Voice of Anarchy?
[Mauro Ranallo] Wait...i-is that...
[Corey Graves] Oh my god...Mauro...
[Mauro Ranallo] The Voice of Anarchy is RUBY RIOTT!? What the hell!?
[Ruby Riott] Surprised to see me? I'm sure you are, Nattie. Especially after you nearly cost me everything. It must be like a bad dream you just couldn't wake up from? Oh, no...my bad. Actually, that was the last nine months of my life. The hell, the pain, the suffering that you caused me, all for the XWL Women's Championship. How the hell do you sleep at night, Nattie? Knowing you went that far to get the one thing you could never get otherwise? How do you sleep at night, knowing that you've pulled the wool over all these people's eyes!? At least I'm able to admit that I can stoop that low. But you?
[Ruby Riott] You put on this...this facade, this charade that you're the "Hart and Soul" of this division. When you know good and well that you had to nearly rip out my heart, and nearly rip out my soul when you ripped my knee apart in that Sharpshooter to get what you wanted. Was it worth it, Natalya? Was it worth ruining another woman's life for a championship? I mean, God knows that your father was never successful without riding Bret's coattails, but at least he never hard to resort to injuring someone on purpose to get his accolades.
However, as angry as Ruby is, she finds herself smirking as she ponders for a moment before continuing.
[Ruby Riott] Though..maybe I shouldn't be mad at you for what you did. At least I can admit that I would do the exact same thing, but I've ever been someone that pretended to be something I'm not. I certainly never tried to fool thousands, millions of people into believing that I'm not a cold-hearted bitch who would do whatever it takes to be XWL Women's Champion. Which, is why I hope that whoever these people vote in to face you tonight? I hope that you beat them. Because I will be at our next special event, Roulette. And if I have to run through this entire division to be the next in line to challenge you? I'll do it.
[Ruby Riott] You know...when I think about it? It's fitting the next event will be named Roulette...because when you get in that ring with me again? You'll be gambling your entire career, your entire livelihood. And I won't stop until I leave as Women's Champion...and you leave crippled...just like you tried to leave me nine months ago. And I will finish what I started...
Ruby stares directly into the camera as it zooms in on her face, a stoic, cold look in her eyes.
[Ruby Riott] I will end your career.

Subject: Re: XWL Cyberslam: 9/24/2018-10/8/2018 Sun Sep 30, 2018 7:05 am
As Cyberslam continues, we are taken to somewhere outside of the arena where we see possible Intercontinental Championship challenger, Kenny Omega running into frame. He stops for a moment to catch his breathe. He turns, noticing a camera is rolling. He smiles and begins to speak.
Kenny Omega The night is finally upon us! Votes have been cast... The people have spoken! Who will the stars of XWL be facing off against. What matches will XWL stars be competing in? Well, your guess is as good as mine! Tonight is the night where the XWL Universe chooses who they feel deserves opportunity. Tonight they choose the fate of rivalries! What a time to be alive... and it just so happens that they hold the fate of the Intercontinental Championship in their hands.
Kenny Omega Daniel Bryan... Finn Balor... James Storm... Pete Dunne ...Roderick Strong... Drew McIntyre... and of course... Kenny Omega. Who will the XWL Universe choose to battle against Eli Drake for the prestigious Intercontinental Championship? We will just have to wait and find out, but as you can see... I am in the middle of a nice warm-up, getting ready for competition. No, I don't know the results. What I do know is the buzz going around on social media.
Kenny Omega Ever since I pinned Eli Drake in that Fatal 4 Way match on Anarchy, my Twitter followers have skyrocketed. My mentions have been going crazy! Message after message from fans ALL OVER the world. Each of them telling me that I have their vote... and let's be honest. Would it really be a surprise to anyone if I ended up winning the vote? No way. What do names like Finn Balor and Daniel Bryan... names like Pete Dunne and Roderick Strong mean to you? The best in the world? Future Hall of Famers?
Kenny Omega Wrong! Those names mean absolutely nothing in comparison to Kenny Omega. Those names... along with James Storm and Drew McIntyre... don't hold the same value as the name Kenny Omega. The XWL Universe hear those names and what happens? They tune out of the show. They switch the channel to some inferior sport! They hear the name Kenny Omega... suddenly, viewership goes through the roof! They text or call their friends saying, "TURN ON ANARCHY! KENNY'S MATCH IS UP NEXT!" or "YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT KENNY JUST DID!"
Kenny Omega Yes.. There is a reason why I will more than likely win the vote tonight. It's quite simple actually... the XWL Universe wants to witness greatness. They want to see something they've never seen before. Those other six men in the running? They can't deliver that. They can't deliver the five-star... hell, six-star performance that I can. There's a reason why I am known as The Best Bout Machine.
Kenny Omega ...and I am confident that after tonight, that won't be the only title next to my name. Eli... I know you're watching and I hope you are holding that championship belt close to you while you still can. I want you to cherish the remaining moments you have left with it. I want you to cherish your last remaining moments in the spotlight, because after the XWL Universe votes for me to kick your ass... after I beat you for the Intercontinental Championship... you are going to be nothing more than a bottom-feeding nobody again.
Kenny Omega GOODBYE.. AND GOOD.. NIGHT!
Delivering his final line, Kenny walks out of frame leaving us to see cars passing by in the distances. After a few seconds, we transition to our next segment.

With tonight being unlike any other night in XWL, excitement is at an extreme high. Because the men and women in attendance tonight as well as the viewers at home have had a hand in affecting Cyberslam in some sort of way. They've chosen what kind of matches they want to see, and who they want to see in those matches and now that voting is closed it's time to see their decisions shape the entire night ahead. As they eagerly look to the stage wonder what they're about to see...and what match will start things off their anticipation filled cheers grow by the numbers as a certain Champion's theme sounds throughout the arena.
[Mauro Ranallo] The time has arrived, Natalya is set to defend her coveted Women's Championship, the question on all of our minds as well as hers since over a month ago has been WHO will it be?
[Corey Graves] The fans have been voting between three top-notch competitors, each with their own reasons why they'd be an excellent challenger for the woman that has been unbeatable on Pay-Per-View for 11 months.
It's not long before The Queen of Harts herself steps out from behind the curtain, as always proudly carrying her beloved title on her shoulder.
[Mauro Ranallo] Corey you made mention of Natalya's unbelievable Pay-Per-View streak she's had for nearly a year now and I think it's fair to say not only have the fans been trying to give her the best challenge possible, something she's been very vocal about wanting. But the power they hold is also potentially determining who might have that huge boost to their XWL stock by being the one to finally defeat Natalya on the big stage.
[Corey Graves] For someone like Nia Jax? It's redemption for Natalya being the only one to defeat her one on one to this day. For Kaitlyn? It's a veteran proving they've still got IT. And Ember Moon? She's already pinned Natalya once in a Triple Threat if she can take her title? We're talking about one of the biggest splashes a newcomer has made in XWL.
Natalya looks out into the audience of smiling faces and her eyes spot many of the signs in support of her. She's said it, and we know it from just seeing her throughout this year that 2018 has been a resurgence for her. Every second she gets to just stand here and soak it all in is a reminder of how far she's come and how incredibly fortune she is to have this platform, to be at the top of the division and her game.
[Mauro Ranallo] This vote has been crucial because due to Natalya's impressive ability to defend in The Elimination Chamber at Downpour, and then in Hell in a Cell at Final Stand in The Main-Event...you can't just throw any challenge at her, there has to be something more to it. So JBL has authorized that whoever the fans vote for will on the spot determine the type of match Natalya's defense will be contested as.
[Corey Graves] Being able to prepare to instrumental in your success but for Natalya, she's had to prepare for literally anything.
As she descends down the ramp she grabs The Women's Title off of her shoulder and raises it into the air with both hands, she's fought hard to finally hold it, and up to this point still be able to call it hers, so as she walks into the unknown she takes this moment as her final opportunity potentially to be able to show her pride and joy off to the entire world.
[Mauro Ranallo] You've gone on the record Corey to state you believe Nia Jax deserves this opportunity, while others think this is a true comeback moment for The longest reigning Divas Champion in XWL History, Kaitlyn. But after The Shenom's rare defeat she handed Natalya 2 weeks ago? I've felt a shift in where people's heads may be. It's almost a toss up really.
[Corey Graves] What's so unique about this is really there's proof they can pin Natalya in each of their resumes. Kaitlyn of course during her incredible historic reign as Divas Champion did successfully defend against Natalya back in 2013. In fact, it was that very victory that earned Kaitlyn the record previously held by Layla.
[Mauro Ranallo] While Nia Jax the week after suffering her first loss, took the opportunity of competing in a Six Pack Challenge with Natalya and her fellow Elimination Chamber opponents to eliminate Natalya very early in that match, forcing her to have to start The Elimination Chamber. A loss that stunned everyone due to how sudden it came about. Nia's force is unlike anything we've ever seen in The Women's Division.
[Corey Graves] And of course Ember Moon as we've already talked about hasn't had a great showing victory wise in her nearly 2 months since arriving, but 2 weeks ago that all changed. You're only as good as your last match, and in her last match, she PINNED The Women's Champion that has suffered very few losses in 2018. I'm backing Nia all the way, but even I realize any of these 3 could really be the one to end this reign.
Finally reaching the bottom of the ramp, her title lowers and rests in her hands as she stares at it for a moment. You can never question how much this means to Natalya, just looking in her eyes, looking at how she looks at The Women's Championship shows a sense of pride and a humbled gratefulness that is always on display.
Brooklyn continues to show Natalya all of their love as she turns the corner slapping some of the fans' hands then quickly walks up the steel steps and enters the ring. This squared circle has been her life, and in 2018 every opportunity she's had to compete inside these ropes on Pay-Per-View has been a fight she hasn't taken lightly. So we firmly believe this upcoming match of hers will be no different. She may not know who it will be in this moment, or what kind of match she's about to have...but she knows that she's come a long way to stand out here tonight with The Women's Championship. That she will stay true to herself and the strategy that has done wonders for her in all of 2018 by just believing in her ability and seeing a challenge in every Woman that stands across from her. No one ever thought she'd be where she is today after one too many failures that belief had nearly faded away...but determination is a powerful thing, and that power could easily give any Woman she faces the ability to defeat her regardless of experience or track record. So she gives The Women's Title a kiss, then hands it to the referee, backing into her corner...awaiting what challenge is about to come her way.
[Mauro Ranallo] Now it's time to reveal your vote ladies and gentlemen, WHO is about to challenge Natalya, and decide what type of match it will be?
[Corey Graves] The results are in...let's look to the screen above the stage and see where the votes landed.
The titantron lights up, showing a graphic of Natalya posed with The Women's Championship, and to the left of her are the three names in the running to challenge her tonight. Seconds pass by until finally, the percentage of votes appears next to all three names...
Ember Moon [32%] Kaitlyn [36%] Nia Jax [32%]
[Mauro Ranallo] OH MY!!!! It's gonna be Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn is getting her chance to face The Women's Champion!
[Corey Graves] No that's not right. Kaitlyn doesn't deserve this match. If anyone does it's Nia Jax.
[Mauro Ranallo] Well that doesn't matter because the people have spoken.
Kaitlyn's theme hits as she runs out on stage electrified with a mic in hand as the crowds' cheers fill the arena. Kaitlyn heads down the ramp and around the ring high fiving her fans. She takes a step up on the steps and looks back at the crowd with a huge smile as they are pumped up for the match ahead. Kaitlyn steps in the ring and as she begins to speak the crowd starts to chant YES! Both Kaitlyn and Nat look in different directions towards the crowd laughing and smiling.
[Kaitlyn] Now I have a couple things to say. First thing I would like to say is thank you to everyone that voted for me to be in this match. This is a real honor to be able to step into the same ring with the champ and go one on one. Nat, I hope you are ready because I am about to give you the match of your life. Now we all know I was taken out of the number one contender's spot four years ago due to a mystery attacker for whatever reason. But I'm getting my shot now and I promise I won't let you guys down.
Kaitlyn pauses with a smile on her face before speaking again
[Kaitlyn] I know I'm probably not the most deserving woman to be put in this match but because you chose me I am gonna give it my all. Nat, we are gonna blow the roof off of this arena. Now the was a vote on who you were gonna face but not what match you would compete in. I had an idea and I don't think this should be an ordinary match. Oh no, I'm pretty positive these people want to see us really battle it out. Am I right?
The crowd cheer loudly with yes chants
[Kaitlyn] They want to see us tear it up. This is what I have been working so hard for this moment. So I'm not gonna be holding anything back and I don't expect you to either. So the match they would like to see us in. The match that will allow is to go the distance and will allow is to show our full potential will be a 2 out of 3 falls match!
Kaitlyn drops the mic then as she turns to head into her corner, Natalya approaches her with her usual demeanor. A warm inviting smile and an extended hand. These fans vote to see a classic between two fan favorites, two veterans that have shared this ring once upon a time ago, and that is what they both plan to deliver. So without hesitation, Kaitlyn accepts Natalya's show of sportsmanship and shakes her hand. As their hands pull apart they back up into their respective corners then watch as the referee raises The Women's Championship into the air, the prize at stake in this contest.
[Mauro Ranallo] This is going to be a really good match I can just feel it.
[Corey Graves] Kaitlyn professed two weeks ago that of all the Women Natalya has beaten, she hasn't beaten her. Clearly, The Hybrid Superstar feels that she is the one to end this reign. Even if I may feel like Nia was robbed...I can't argue with Kaitlyn's success. Perhaps this will indeed be her night.
[Mauro Ranallo] We spoke of the last time these two squared off for a Championship and that was 5 years ago when the roles were reversed. Kaitlyn was the defending Champion and Natalya was the challenger. With all the time that has passed since then, and the tremendous growth both have shown in that time, your guess is as good as mine when it comes to who leaves this match as The Women's Champion.
[Corey Graves] I think even more went into Kaitlyn's decision than she said because while their last encounter was 5 years ago for a title, they competed the very month before where Kaitlyn beat Natalya then too. She has defeated Natalya twice in a Championship Match, I think she believes that all but ensures her victory tonight. Because while Natalay has without question become one of the most dominant Superstars in 2018, everyone has their kryptonite, and for Natalya...that MAY be Kaitlyn if their past encounters have shown anything. She not only has to pin or submit Kaitlyn once, she has to do it twice.
[Mauro Ranallo] A strong point, Corey. Kaitlyn may have to do the same, but she's proven she could before...whereas Natalya hasn't.
[Corey Graves] I'm going to make a bold prediction, Kaitlyn's walking out of here The NEW Women's Champion. She's going to lose it next month at Roulette to Nia Jax of course, but I think Natalya's dominance ends tonight. Choosing a 2 out of 3 falls match was without a doubt the smartest move Kaitlyn could have made.
[Mauro Ranallo] Is Natalya about to defeat Kaitlyn back to back just like Kaitlyn defeated her 5 years ago?!
[Corey Graves] Is it too late to take back my earlier prediction?
The audience shouts along as the referee counts...
ONE!
"1"
TWO!
"2"
THRE- NO!!! KAITLYN'S SHOULDER POPS UP STUNNING THE AUDIENCE WHO SUDDENLY GO CRAZIER WITH CHEERS OVER THE HEART SHE'S SHOWING!
[Corey Graves] Because I would never do that! Kaitlyn with the UNBELIEVABLE kickout!
[Mauro Ranallo] This is the same heart Kaitlyn showed during her incredible run as Divas Champion, it is why she forever holds that record as The Longest Reigning holder of that title. This year is all about redemption for her, it's her comeback after she thought her career had ended...honestly, it's almost like she and Natalya are the same in that regard. They've had to overcome so much, and now here they are competing for the honor of being Champion.
[Corey Graves] Perhaps that furthers my belief that Kaitlyn can win this, Natalya may literally be passing the torch to someone so much like her.
As the audience grows rowdier over Kaitlyn's resilience, Natalya sits there on her hands and knees clearly enjoying herself. She's not upset, she's almost as fired up as the fans are. Yes she wants to retain, she hoped that would be it, but game respects game and Natalya respects the hell out of Kaitlyn in this moment for refusing to give up, Nattie didn't give up and it led to this incredible year she's had. So as the commentary team discusses this between themselves you have to believe it goes through Natalya's head as well. Still, she can't sit here and show appreciation for Kaitlyn's efforts, that wastes valuable time and the competitor in her that wants to leave this match as Champion needs to not get caught up in being "proud" of the woman fighting to take her title.
[Mauro Ranallo] When it comes Natalya being successful in defending here tonight, Corey what does she have to do?
[Corey Graves] I'm not sure, she kept Kaitlyn down with The N-Powerbomb to get the first fall, but The Hart Attack 2.0 the move that has been so successful for her this year wasn't enough. I think perhaps she may have to look into applying The Sharpshooter, that bridged variation has done wonders against the likes of April, Sasha, and Allie.
Natalya seems to agree with Corey despite not hearing him from all the way in the ring, because as she rises up she starts to grab a hold of Kaitlyn's legs, intertwining them between hers, the first stage of applying the infamous Hart Family Sharpshooter. Fans continue to express their excitement, they're fans of both Women and right now cheering isn't more so a sign of rooting for one over the other, it's just rooting on the match itself. As Natalya moves to turn Kaitlyn over, the final step in what could force Kaitlyn to give up...Kaitlyn begins to show life, digging deep into the canvas with her nails shaking her head refusing to allow herself to fall victim to the move that won Natalya the first ever Female Final Stand Main-Event. She wiggles, she crawls, and at last she frees her legs from Natalya's grasp and kicks her hard in the face, knocking her back and allowing her a moment to catch her breath.
[Mauro Ranallo] Kaitlyn avoids The Sharpshooter!
[Corey Graves] Now she's gotta put Natalya down, no one has pinned or submitted Natalya on Pay-Per-View in 11 months...she needs to be the first to do that, and it needs to happen fast because she not only has to do it once, she has to do it twice.
The Queen of Harts stumbles on the other side of the ring, spinning back around just in time for Kaitlyn to collide into her with a shoulder block knocking her down for a moment only for her to pop back up to her feet and get struck again by a second one. The Champion gets back up again without much delay, she's running on adrenaline, she knows if she stays on the mat for long that could put her in dire straits so that is what she won't allow. But as she gets up this next time Kaitlyn plants a boot right into her midsection doubling her over, and the powerful Superstar that Kaitlyn is begins to hoist Natalya onto her shoulders in a fireman's carry, perhaps setting up that vicious gut buster of hers. Natalya knowing what's coming wiggles off of her shoulders after a couple stiff elbows to the face, then as she slips back down to the mat she quickly brings Kaitlyn's arms into a double underhook looking to deliver another Hart Attack 2.0.
As she lifts her up, gaining enough height to soon drive her back down into her knees...Kaitlyn knowing what was coming as well, and how hard it was to kick out last time struggles just as much as Natalya moments ago. She uses her positioning to sort of float over Natalya's head thanks to the double underhook and slips behind her. As if it's a game of cat and mouse she waits for Natalya to start to spin on her heel, perhaps knowing Natalya expected a spear to come her way as soon as she did, but Kaitlyn was two steps ahead. As soon as Natalya turns around to clothesline Kaitlyn as she came back around for what she expected to be a spear...Kaitlyn instead was standing there ready to duck that clothesline, and potentially change EVERYTHING. She evades The Champ's lariat, thrusting herself and all of her weight into the ropes on the opposing side of the ring....then springs back off of them with a tidal wave of momentum that sends Kaitlyn crashing right THROUGH Natalya as she spun back around WITH A DEVASTATING SPEAR!
[Mauro Ranallo] MAMA MIA, WHAT A SPEAR!!!
[Corey Graves] My god she didn't just connect with all of it, she damn near tore right through her with it!
The referee stunned by the incredible impact Kaitlyn managed to have with that spear seems shaken and stunned, the audience's jaws drop amazed by Kaitlyn's power all as The Longest Reigning Divas Champion in XWL history falls on top of Natalya covering her...
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!! KAITLYN TIES THE SCORE 1 - 1!
[Mauro Ranallo] NATALYA HAS BEEN PINNED ON PAY-PER-VIEW FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NEARLY A YEAR!!
[Corey Graves] Now all Kaitlyn has to do, is do it again...she's done what no other Woman has done since Natalya became Champion...this is the closest anyone has come to taking that title, THIS could very well be over.
Kaitlyn nods to herself, hearing the loud "Kaitlyn!" chants directed her way for that incredible feat she just accomplished. All of these people love Natalya and have loved every minute of her reign, but as we know already this isn't about who is liked more, this is about an incredible contest for The Women's Championship where either way a deserving Champion leaves this ring. Kaitlyn knows she just did the seemingly "impossible." She knows that she is fully capable of doing it again, she feels it within her grasp. Slowly she crawls backward toward the corner, stalking The Champion, perhaps looking to deliver another spear after Natalya's had no time to recover from the last. Her arm rises up, she motions for The Queen of Harts to get up, to turn around and to feel the tide turning spear that she's waiting to deliver.
[Corey Graves] This is yet another smart move by Kaitlyn, she just kept Natalya down for a three count, why let her have time to recover? Stay on her, back into that corner and prepare to deliver another spear.
[Mauro Ranallo] This doesn't look good for The Women's Champion.
[Corey Graves] All reigns come to an end, and for Natalya? The end has arrived.
Natalya's coughing profusely, she's clutching her ribs with one arm as her other arm supports her efforts in trying to get back to her feet. That spear shot like a bullet into her, and the after effects are just as bad as when it connected. A thunderous "LET'S GO NATTIE! LET'S GO KAITLYN!" chant echoes as we see Kaitlyn primed to deliver the final move of this match. Natalya rests on her knee, trying to get up, you see the struggle, but you also feel the same heart she's had in every defense this year. She loves being Champion, she wants nothing more than to leave this ring STILL Champion. So while her ribs are in pain, she's prepared to fight until her last breath. Finally, she pulls herself up, she staggers around...AND KAITLYN CHARGES RIGHT AT HER WITH A SPE- NO! Natalya as if she was simply on autopilot at this point uses her incredible instincts to SIDESTEP before Kaitlyn was set to impact her with another spear, and as she gets out of the way she CATCHES Kaitlyn's arms in an almost vice grip double underhook, AND LIFTS HER INTO THE AIR BRINGING HER BACK DOWN OH SO SUDDENLY WITH THE HART ATTACK 2.0!!!
[Corey Graves] WHAT?! HOW DID SHE DO THAT?!
[Mauro Ranallo] HART ATTACK 2.0! NATALYA AVOIDS THE SPEAR, THIS IS IT!
The audience is stunned, screaming at the top of their lungs as Kaitlyn rests in a writhing state on top of Natalya's knees, the wind was completely taken out of her, she's limp as she lies over The Champion's knees, and not a single person is in their seat as this brutal sight plays out before us. Kaitlyn's jaw hangs open looking up for a second at The Champion she just pinned a minute ago, feeling like it was hers, that this was her title to win...and yet things shifted so quickly, and a lone tear falls down her face, her head collapses down, completely out. This effort took a lot out of Natalya to deliver but as the seconds have passed she now rolls Kaitlyn off of her knees, onto the mat, and covers her...
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
The audience cheers as Natalya's theme blares throughout the arena, signaling the final fall of this match has indeed happened, and Natalya is STILL The XWL Women's Champion! She rolls off of Kaitlyn breathing quite heavily as the emotions of a successful title defense begin to overwhelm her.
[Mauro Ranallo] What more can you say, other than congratulations to Natalya Neidhart on another impressive defense against a very game Kaitlyn.
[Corey Graves] That match took us all including myself on a roller coaster ride of emotions. I went from wanting Nia to somewhat rooting for Kaitlyn, to BELIEVING she actually was going to be the one to dethrone her, to Natalya by the skin of her teeth bringing it all back in her favor.
[Mauro Ranallo] Natalya believes a Champion is someone that gives it their all every chance they get, and there's no question she does exactly that. To be nowhere near recovered from a brutal spear that kept her down for a 3 count, which officially tied the score...and then to have the foresight to avoid another spear thereafter, and deliver a brutal move like The Hart Attack 2.0? That is heart, that is passion, and that is our Women's Champion.
[Corey Graves] Kaitlyn came close, but unfortunately for her close does not win you a Championship, it's back to the drawing board for this veteran that really could've changed the outlook of her career with a victory tonight.
Still on her knees overcome with every feeling ranging from happiness to exhaustion, the referee brings Natalya's title over to her and goes to check on Kaitlyn as The Champion throws her belt over her shoulder.
[Mauro Ranallo] Tonight was a tall order for The Women's Champion, the fans were voting between three top-notch challengers, and while she knew the possibilities of who she could face, she had no idea what kind of match it'd be, or that she'd have to deal with a 2 out of 3 falls match where she would have to pin her challenger not once, but twice.
[Corey Graves] It speaks to everything we've witnessed this year from Natalya. She has overcome so many obstacles, and it all goes back to The Elimination Chamber, her first defense, and test as Champion. When she survived that, not only survived but dominated it...you knew she was going to hold onto that title through hell and high water, and that is what she continues to do.
The ref returns to Natalya believing that Kaitlyn's okay then grabs a hold of her arm helping her up and raising her hand in victory as her Championship is raised by her other hand. Fans continue to cheer for the truly hard-fought defense The Women's Champion had tonight as the camera pans out to catch Kaitlyn crawling toward the ropes in disbelief as tears fall down her face.
[Mauro Ranallo] You can see how much this meant to Kaitlyn, those tears are the result of the passion that she feels...she loved being Divas Champion all those years ago...she really wanted to be Champion again tonight.
[Corey Graves] No doubt about that, she's very disappointed in herself.
As the official raises Natalya's hand, you can see her eyes look over to Kaitlyn, see how broken up she appears to be over the loss. Without hesitation, she pulls her arm away from the ref then walks over to Kaitlyn and reaches out to help her up. Natalya raises Kaitlyn's hand as the crowd cheers for both women that gave it their all. She goes one step further, knowing how Kaitlyn feels, because she's felt this feeling herself...so celebrating right now, "rubbing in" her victory or the fact she's still Champion isn't at all something she wants to do so she places her belt down and simply opens her arms and both Women hug it out with Nat whispering in her ear. This is the division Natalya wants, where two Women at the top of their game can duke it out for the richest prize and afterward, they can show respect where it is due. They can commend each other's effort, they can share the love of what they did in this ring, and even though one lost, and one won...at the end of the day they do what they do because there is no better feeling than to compete in this ring against the best, win or lose. Kaitlyn grabs Nat's hand and raises it high for a moment before lowering it back down and her eyes drift to the mat where she sees The Women's Championship. She bends down, picking it up and stares at it for a moment. She wanted this, badly. Natalya stares on confused momentarily, ensuring her guard is up because you never know what Kaitlyn could be thinking right now. But soon Kaitlyn smiles at Natalya and hands it over, nodding that Natalya deserves it, and it's hers.
[Mauro Ranallo] A great show of respect between these two here tonight.
[Corey Graves] Can't say I would've handed it over so easily, especially if I wanted it as bad as Kaitlyn does.
[Mauro Ranallo] But that's the integrity that makes up both Women. They may want something with every fiber of their being, but respect is paramount.
Kaitlyn points to the turnbuckle and tells her to get up there to celebrate. She earned this moment, she shouldn't let Kaitlyn's disappointment take away from it. Natalya nods thanking Kaitlyn for an incredible match then turns and climbs the second rope raising her Championship into the air with a smile on her face as cheers fill the arena.
[Mauro Ranallo] One thing is for certain we saw a helluva match between two brilliant competitors, and while Kaitlyn fell short in her efforts to become The New Women's Champion she has nothing to be ashamed of after her performance this evening.
[Corey Graves] I still think Nia could have gotten it done tonight, but I'll agree Kaitlyn put up a good effort. Natalya was just the better Woman.
Kaitlyn joins the fans in applauding Natalya then turns to leave the ring, maybe next time will be her moment but unfortunately, that moment did not come tonight. Her hands grip the ropes, and she looks out into the audience appreciative of their support even after a tough defeat. Focus shifts back to Natalya mounted on the corner, truly proud to still be able to raise this title above her head.
[Corey Graves] The question now is WHO is next? WHO is capable of toppling Natalya? And as I'm sure everyone knows this by now which if you don't allow me to say it...NIA JAX!
[Mauro Ranallo] Perhaps, though if Nia is in consideration, perhaps the woman she tied with votes wise Ember Moon should be as well.
[Corey Graves] I mean...
[Mauro Ranallo] Then again, we did see the return of Ruby Riott tonight, and her intentions are VERY clear. She wants not only Natalya's title, the title that Natalya took from Ruby...she wants her career.
[Corey Graves] The Voice of Anarchy seeking to reek havoc on everything Natalya's built up. BUT STILL, Nia though.
The 3rd Generation Superstar lowers her title over her shoulder, then soon dismounts from the corner continuing to look out into the crowd that's being so supportive of her. She turns to leave, having delivered her best tonight, and now she gets to leave just as she walked into the arena, as Women's Champion. With a proud nod, she spins around, though in a somewhat sluggish manner, after all, Kaitlyn gave her one hell of a fight. But as she stumbles around her hand starting to grab her ribs from when Kaitlyn speared her with such impact it nearly ripped her in half, she, at last, pulls herself out of the corner, looking up after a quick glance at the ribs in question, and eats a spear from Kaitlyn
WAIT WHAT? The cheers stop as the crowd looks on in shock, jaws hung open, eyes widened, and hands over their heads in disbelief as Kaitlyn towers over Natalya with a cold look in her eyes. She just showed Natalya so much respect, and wanted The Champion to celebrate her moment, because she deserved it...but the same Kaitlyn that seemed "happy" for Natalya is not the one standing with a tear falling down her face...suddenly very enraged in the anger that has now overcome her.
[Mauro Ranallo] WHAT THE HELL!!!! What has gotten into Kaitlyn?
[Corey Graves] I don't know but I didn't expect to see THAT from Kaitlyn. I'm starting to like what I'm seeing.
[Mauro Ranallo] What how can you say that? This is uncalled for. She lost fair and square. There was no need to attack her.
[Corey Graves] Hmmmmm. Well maybe Kaitlyn has a reason.
[Mauro Ranallo] There isn't a single reason that excuses this behavior right now.
Not done Kaitlyn grabs Natalya by her hair pulling her up against the corner climbs up onto the second rope punching The Champion repeatedly. The ref as surprised by all of this as all of us tries to separate her from Natalya but Kaitlyn continues to wail on her as the crowd boos louder. There isn't a purpose for her fists flying into Natalya's skull right now the spear did the damage, Natalya isn't capable of defending herself right now. As the fists fly into her head one final shot knocks Natalya all the way down to the mat as she falls seated in the corner. With an unwilling spectator beaten into submission Kaitlyn breathing heavily calls for a mic.
[Kaitlyn] Well. Well. Well. Nattie congrats on your win over me but you deserve what you just got. These people wanted to see me go against you but now I'm starting to think they just wanted to see an easy win to retain the title. So this is because of you people. How can it be I get one hell of a cheer when I get announced but no in this match you only give me twenty percent and you give this crap champion all the love? This was my chance and you people couldn't even stand behind me.
Kaitlyn paces across the ring
[Kaitlyn] Nat these people along with you forced this upon yourself. None of you believed that I could beat Natalya. None of you think I can be champion. You don't think I have what it takes to be champ anymore.
Kaitlyn turns around to see Natalya stirring, attempting to grab the ropes to get up but it's of no use.
[Kaitlyn] AWWWWW! Look shes trying to pull herself up. Come on Nat pull yourself up come on you can do it. HA you're nothing this win you got today is nothing because at the end of the day I know that I'm better than you. I don't need these shit fans to prove it like you do. You think just because you hold that title your somebody ha you're nobody and I am going to prove that when all is said and done. Look at my face because this is the face that is gonna make your life a living hell. I am gonna be the one that is going to break you.
Kaitlyn turns back to the crowd as if their boos only justify her actions even more than she already feels they are.
[Kaitlyn] This bitch will bow down to me I can promise you that. If you don't want to respect me then that's fine because I will take what is mine. I'll take what I deserve. I WILL TAKE WHAT I WANT! When it comes to that title Nat that is what I want and I will get it I promise you that. We may both be veterans but we are so so different. You are doing this for the people that love you and that's the only reason why you're champion. So now I am doing this for me and why is that you may ask? Well, it's because the people who I thought loved me and were standing behind me are nothing but two faced scum. So Nattie you can take those fans of yours and shove them up your overrated ass and go screw yourself.
Kaitlyn's words enrage the fans, and as Natalya's pulled herself from the corner, she starts to crawl toward Kaitlyn who laughs lightly at the pathetic Champion at her feet. Kaitlyn turns and grabs the women's championship then kneels beside Natalya to speak one final time.
[Kaitlyn] Look Nattie I finally get it. The only way I'll get what I want is to stop letting people walk all over me and take it by force. You see this title will be around my waist soon enough. So cherish it while you have it because next time? I PROMISE YOU WON'T WALK OUT CHAMP!
With a whole new side of herself on full display Kaitlyn casually lays The Women's Championship across Natalya then turns her nose up at her and exits the ring. She raises her fist high as she ascends the ramp, fans still booing her actions very loudly with a lot of venom fueling their anger. They voted her in to see a respectable encounter, but instead...all it did is unleash this unexpected behavior from Kaitlyn. Finally having sent her message loud and clear both with her voice itself and through laying out Natalya she heads backstage shifting all focus back to the ring where Natalya's trying to piece together what just happened.
[Corey Graves] I never knew Kaitlyn had ALL of that in her.
[Mauro Ranallo] I don't think a single Man, Woman, or Child in this arena or watching at home right now did either. The only words I can try to formulate is just...what just happened? What has gotten into Kaitlyn?
[Corey Graves] It's pretty clear if you listened, Mauro. She's sick of people walking all over her, it started when she fell victim to a mystery attacker that to this day is still a mystery...but tonight that all ended. Why should she be happy for Natalya? She wants that title, and shaking her hand, hugging her, being "happy" for her...isn't going to change the fact that Kaitlyn doesn't get to leave this arena as Women's Champion. That is the issue at it's core.
[Mauro Ranallo] But how are the fans at fault for that? How is Natalya?
[Corey Graves] If the fans truly gave a damn about her she wouldn't have BARELY won the vote, she'd have overwhelmingly been chosen. Instead they voted for Ember Moon and Nia Jax almost as much as her. Does that feel like she's "loved?"
[Mauro Ranallo] I think it speaks to the case all three Women made for why it should be them that challenged Natalya tonight.
[Corey Graves] If it were Natalya she wouldn't have barely won a poll, they'd have unanimously voted for her, that is Kaitlyn's problem. She comes out here every week with a smile, she puts on performance after performance, she even says if she's voted in and she wins, she'd give Ember Moon a one on one shot on the next episode of Anarchy. But did they appreciate that? Have they supported her as much as she's opened herself to them? No.
Natalya aided by the referee is brought to her feet, desperately trying to pull herself together after she was just blindsided by someone she had so much respect for. They were tearing it up in the division 5 years ago against one another, and they just blew what they did back then out of the water...this was supposed to be a showcase of two very capable Veterans doing what they do best. And it was...it was exactly that, but then that smile on Kaitlyn's face faded...and the tears streaming down Kaitlyn's face soon fell down an angered one. She just assaulted Natalya without warning, blindsided the audience that whether it was unanimous or not, voted her in to face Natalya. No one can really understand what's going on, including Natalya. Slowly the referee helps Natalya exit the ring then starts to help her walk up it all while the fans take this opportunity to express their support for Natalya. They chant her name as if to say she'll get through this like she's gotten through everything else. She at last reaches the top of the stage and nods that she can go the rest of the way on her own, he ensures that she's stable enough, backing away and handing her title back to her. She thanks him for helping her then stumbles forward and Kaitlyn comes charging back out in a burst of speed and spears Natalya one last time!
[Mauro Ranallo] OH COME ON!
[Corey Graves] That spear is going to haunt Natalya's dreams tonight!
Kaitlyn stands over her, just as remorseless as before, then begins to scream at her. "I TOLD YOU I'M GOING TO BREAK YOU!" Constantly she screams those words at the fallen Champion at her feet as more referees come from the back ordering her to get out of here. She just remains standing there, letting this moment, and this message sink in until it is clear to everyone including Natalya. She's done being walked over, she's through with being second place to anyone, and she will have what she is owed. The cameras fade out as the final sight we see is Kaitlyn standing over Natalya, the women's championship that in a way caused all of this laying on the floor beside it's battered champion.

Cyberslam rolls on after the shocking conclusion to the Women's Championship match with a quick cut to backstage, where Kayla Braxton stands backstage with Nikki Cross,who's wearing a referee's shirt with its sleeves cut off as she prepares to referee the match between her love interest, April, and the woman she's had a loose alliance with over the past number of months, Demon Allie.
[Kayla Braxton] Nikki Cross, tonight you prepare to be the Special Guest referee for a match between April and Demon Allie. What are your thoughts on being given the task of refereeing a match between your friend Allie and your apparent...uh...crush...April?
[Nikki Cross] Friend? Friend? Come now, Kayla, don't be silly. Allie and I? We were never friends. She and I both know that. I used Allie to get Natalya out of the picture. And look what happened? Natalya just got beaten down and left for dead. You know...if April wasn't busy preparing for this important match with Allie? You might have just watched her cash in to become the new XWL Women's Champion! Wouldn't that be exciting!?
[Nikki Cross] But tonight, I get a front row seat to watch the love of my life wrestle. It's poetic, isn't it? But of course, I'll do my sworn duty tonight...I'll call the match right down the middle. After all, I'm a woman of integrity, of honor. I know what's right and what's wrong. Though...is it really wrong to think about April naked, waiting for me to just...ravage her?
A sick smirk forms on Nikki's face as she licks her teeth like a shark smelling blood, Kayla Braxton growing more and more uncomfortable with each word flowing from the Psychotic Scot's mouth.
[Nikki Cross] Is it wrong to have gotten that little blonde tramp out of the picture so April could be all mine? I don't think so. How about you, Kayla? Uh, you know what, nevermind, that's not important. What's important tonight is that I'm the referee, so that means that I'm in charge! I count the pinfalls and I call the submissions. Or you never know...I could just disqualify Allie if she tries to punch my sweet April in her gorgeous little face...or maybe just punch Allie in her face.
A beaming smile of pride forms on Nikki's face now as she giggles to herself, slightly tugging at her long strands of unkempt, water-soaked hair.
[Nikki Cross] Well...if she tries that, of course! I'm the referee for the match, and I have to make sure that both competitors abide by the rules, after all. Now, if you'll excuse me? I need to go inform my sweet little pumpkin and the Demon about their match tonight, and make sure they know all of my rules. Bye, Kayla!
Giggling maniacally, Nikki waves goodbye at the interviewer until she tentatively waves back, causing Nikki to stop waving, putting both arms at her sides and glaring a hole through her before turning and stomping out of camera view, leaving a confused and petrified Kayla Braxton in her wake as Cyberslam rolls on.

*Cyberslam cuts to the backstage area where Cathy Kelley is shown standing by alongside Johnny Wrestling himself - Johnny Gargano! Gargano appears laser-focused, no doubt going over his gameplan for tonight's match over and over again in his mind.*
[Cathy Kelley] Johnny Gargano, tonight is the biggest match of your career when you compete in the main event for the World Heavyweight Championship against two men who have put you through literal hell these past few weeks. The votes are still rolling in to decide the match type, but what is your mindset heading into tonight given all that has transpired along with the fact that you are the only one of the three who has never competed on the biggest stage or been World champion?
*Gargano smirks for a second before responding.*
[Johnny Gargano] It's always the same. I've been an underdog my entire career. Nobody expected me to get to XWL, let alone main event a pay-per-view. But here I am. It's happening. And not only that, but I'm competing for the World Heavyweight Championship.
[Johnny Gargano] I admit it's a little hard for me to believe sometimes too, it all feels like a dream. I mean, I know I'm capable. I've always felt that I'm capable of great things. But now that it's finally happening... it doesn't feel real.
[Johnny Gargano] I see all the messages of support from the XWL Universe on social media and I feel all the love they give me in person whenever I arrive at the arena or go out to the ring to compete, but when I get backstage and I look around, nobody notices me. I'm not taken seriously or seen as that big of a deal. I don't have my name up in bright lights, or on posters or anything like that. I haven't even main-evented Anarchy one single time. But despite all that, here I am, standing here right now as a contender for the richest prize this industry has to offer. The time has come to prove to everyone that I have what it takes and that I can be one of the greats. That I'm not a nobody... that I can be a big deal, because I am the whole damn shebang!
*Gargano's words are full of determination and self-belief and he drives them home with his tone of voice, all fired up. He takes a few seconds before continuing in a calmer tone.*
[Johnny Gargano] Tonight is what I've been waiting my whole life for. I'm done waiting. Whatever match type it is, I'm going out there to win the World Heavyweight Championship and show the world exactly why Johnny Gargano should be in the main event.
[Johnny Gargano] Chris Jericho and Dean Ambrose have done a lot of things and said a lot of things to me over the past couple of weeks, but nothing they say or do will stop me from fulfilling my destiny. This is my moment. And I will leave it all in that ring, blood, sweat, tears and anything else that I have to, to earn the right to call myself... champion.
*With that, Gargano walks away full of purpose and intent, drawing the interview to a close as the screen fades away to a promotional video hyping up tonight's main event.*

*Cyberslam returns with the sound of some unexpected music beginning to play.*
*The crowd lets out a deafening roar as the theme of Dakota Kai echoes around the arena!*
[Mauro Ranallo] Wow! It's Dakota Kai! Dakota Kai is here!
*It takes a while, but Dakota slowly makes her way out onto the stage, being supported by an EMT in full surgical gear, face mask, hair net and all. Dakota is wearing a neckbrace, a kneebrace, has a crutch in her right arm and has her left arm over the EMT for support. Despite all of this, she has a big grin on her face and is so happy to be here at Cyberslam, against all the odds.*
[Mauro Ranallo] Just look at the raw emotion on the face of Dakota Kai! She couldn't be more happy to be here!
[Corey Graves] We haven't seen Dakota Kai in weeks, ever since she was taken out in the backstage area by an unknown assailant. It looks as though that attack has left her worse for wear and with multiple injuries.
[Mauro Ranallo] But despite all of that Corey, I have no doubt in my mind that Dakota Kai will be back better than ever. She has more heart and gritty determination that I can recall ever seeing and she was just hitting her stride when she came to this hurdle in her career. Whoever was responsible for the attack did not finish the job and she is still standing tall!
*Dakota and the EMT stop on the stage. Dakota manages a wave to all of the fans cheering her in support. She's overcome with raw emotion as her eyes begin to well up.*
[Corey Graves] You take a look at the Women's Championship match from earlier in the night and you have to wonder what might've been. Dakota Kai was an option to be voted in as Natalya's opponent until tragedy hit, and given this crowd reaction right now, you would have to assume that she would have been right up there as one of the favourites.
[Mauro Ranallo] It's a missed opportunity and we will never know what may have been. But Dakota Kai has dealt with setbacks her entire career. Like she always says, she gets knocked down, but she gets right back up, dusts herself off and gets on with it! She will have her chance again in the future. You can count on that!
*As Dakota continues to soak up the crowd's love and support, she lets a tear roll down her cheek. This means so much to her. Not only the fans' support, but to be able to appear on an XWL event once again. This is what she worked her whole life for after all.*
*CRACK! The sound of Dakota Kai's head bouncing off the metal of the stage is heard like a gunshot throughout the arena as the EMT inexplicably grabs her by the hair and forcefully throws her body backwards, sending her crutch flying and Dakota's body to the floor. The music stops and there is a stunned silence as the EMT mounts Kai and begins landing shot after shot.*
[Mauro Ranallo] What the-?!
*The EMT dismounts and stands. She turns to face the audience and removes her hair net, revealing flowing blonde locks. She slowly removes her surgical face mask in a dramatic fashion, revealing...*
[Corey Graves] My god... that's... that's Toni Storm!
*Storm smirks as she discards her face mask and hair net by dropping them to the ground. She once again turns her attention to the downed Dakota Kai, ripping her neckbrace forcefully from her neck.*
[Mauro Ranallo] What the hell is Toni Storm doing here? What is the meaning of all of this?
[Corey Graves] Haven't you been paying attention Mauro? We've heard for weeks that a "storm is coming"... well it has arrived and right now Dakota Kai is in the eye of the storm!
*Storm grabs the dead-weight of Dakota Kai, again by the hair, and slowly brings her to her feet. The crowd have regained their voices and picked their jaws up from the floor and have begun to boo what they're seeing.*
[Mauro Ranallo] Dakota Kai is defenseless! Someone stop this!
[Corey Graves] It may be difficult to watch Mauro, but if you're a free agent making your XWL debut, you want to make an impact. Toni Storm is doing that right now. Whether you approve of this or not, she will have the world talking about her actions.
*Storm holds up Kai by her chin and screams into her face "This is my time! Not yours! This is Toni time!" before dragging her to the edge of the stage.*
[Mauro Ranallo] This can't be good...
*Storm knees the mid-section of Kai, causing her to double over. Storm throws up the devil horns with her free hand and looks around at the confused/enraged masses, keeping hold of Kai with her other. Suddenly, she leaps into the air with Dakota Kai, off the stage and through a table full of equipment down below with a devastating Strong Zero piledriver! A loud "ohhhhhhhh!" rises up from the fans.*
[Mauro Ranallo] Mama mia! Piledriver from the stage! Get some help out here! Get some help out here! Dakota Kai needs some help!
*Normally, there would be a "holy shit!" chant at this point, but instead there is a stunned silence as naturally the XWL Universe are concerned for the well-being of the fan-favourite Dakota Kai who was already injured prior to this brutal attack. Who knows what condition she will be in after this? Maybe her career is now over?*
[Mauro Ranallo] Get some help out here!
*The camera focuses on the carnage. Dakota Kai is motionless, face down amongst all the debris and broken stuff, while Toni Storm has managed to roll off the mess and sit there. She hurt herself doing that, but you can tell from her face that in her mind, it was all worth it. She looks proudly at her handiwork as real EMTs rush the scene to tend to the KO'd Kiwi.*
[Corey Graves] Although that was difficult to watch, you have to appreciate the fact that Toni Storm came to XWL to make an impact... and she did just that. This moment will no doubt be remembered for years to come.
[Mauro Ranallo] That was barbaric Corey. We don't need people like her on the XWL roster!
[Corey Graves] Of course we do Mauro! She was one of the hottest free agents on the planet. She's traveled the world, honing her craft, biding her time, waiting for her moment, her opportunity. Now she has that and what a way to announce your arrival to the XWL stage! The Women's Division had better sit up and take notice, because Toni Storm is going to be a major player. There's no doubt in my mind.
*Toni Storm rises to her feet and stands over the EMTs frantically trying to tend to Dakota Kai. She looks down with no emotion on her face at all. The camera zooms in on her expression to bring this part of Cyberslam to a close. A message from one of the sponsors, XWL 2K19 The Video Game, begins to play.*
We are back live at CYBERSLAM and it's been an amazing night so far. Before we head into the next segment or match of the night, the commentary team of Corey Graves and Mauro Ranallo speaks back and forth with one another about one of the match-ups tonight - the returning Matt Hardy versus Rusev.
C O R E Y G R A V E S I cannot believe that Matt Hardy is back. I thought Kenny Omega got rid of that doofus months ago. I thought that Jeff Hardy was playing some weird mind games to get us thinking Matt was coming back but it was all an elaborate trick... but I for one am not looking forward to this. I believe Rusev is in danger tonight because let's turn the clocks back to the night where Edge won the World Heavyweight Championship from Matt Hardy... what if we see that happen again tonight? I would get in touch with our General Manager and for everyone's safety, I would suggest that he does what needs to be. He not only gets Matt Hardy banned from the arena but from the company too.
M A U R O R A N A L L O I think Matt Hardy is a little more... in control of himself this time around... at least I hope. I don't know with this man and I don't know what the hell he is saying most of the time... but he didn't come back for his own selfish reasons. Matt Hardy is back because he was called upon to defend the Hardy name. Maybe his brother is going to keep Matt in line and not let him stray too far into the multiverse, broken universe, or whatever he refers to his little world as.
C O R E Y G R A V E S Why should we even trust Jeff Hardy as well? We had placed our trust in him, cheered for him to defeat his brother, and look at what happened. Take a look at what happened to Jeff Hardy the last time he got himself invested in all of this broken crap. I think what needs to happen is Rusev and Aiden need to hope these people voted in their favor, take out the garbage and go about their careers. Rusev has a World Television Championship to defend and Aiden English has a World Heavyweight Championship match in the palm of his hands.
M A U R O R A N A L L O Speaking of the Charismatic Enigma, I am being told that Renee Young is backstage ready to conduct an interview with him and gets his thoughts on the match-up tonight between his brother and Rusev. Perhaps he'll sway the fans into voting for him to be the only enforcer so he can put Rusev through the same torture that he went through at Warzone.
C O R E Y G R A V E S I am not looking forward to this.
The cameras head backstage to Renee Young who stands in front of the door which is marked 'JEFF HARDY' on the front of it. Clearly, it was the locker room given to Jeff for the night. It's not like Matt needed one when he was teleporting to the arena. We don't exactly question how he does it. We just go along with it. Anyways, here's Renee Young with a microphone in her hands and a smile gracing her face.
R E N E E Y O U N G Ladies and Gentleman, I am here to speak to Jeff Hardy to get some input ahead of the match he very well could be apart of. I tried knocking once a couple seconds ago but... I didn't get an answer. Here. Let me try again.
Renee lowers her microphone from her mouth and turns to the door. She lifts her arm and clenches her fist before knocking on the door about three or four times. The blonde took a step back so that she and everyone else could wait for the arrival of Jeff Hardy... but then a few seconds pass and there was no Jeff Hardy... and then about ten or so seconds later and there was still nothing. This wasn't part of the plan, obviously. You can tell from the look on her face. A mixture of confusion and concern because this wasn't like Jeff Hardy.
Just when it seemed like all hope was lost for Renee's interview opportunity, the handle on the door begins to twist open, she adjusts herself to become more presentable but her expression does a complete one eighty when the door swings open. Out from behind the door walks out the duo consisting of Mr. Money in the Bank in Aiden English and the World Television Champion in Rusev. A mixture of confusion and uncertainty fill Renee's face as she turns her attention towards the inside of the room, spotting a laid out Jeff Hardy, his shirt being all but ripped off his body as a small amount of blood begins to drip down from his forehead onto said shirt, creating a sickening scene for the unsuspecting interviewer. Rusev spots Hardy's nameplate on the door and it quickly finds itself being pulled off and thrown towards the seemingly unconscious Jeff Hardy.
{Rusev} забравихте това
Rusev turns his attention from inside the room towards the hallway, spotting Renee standing nearby the door, looking like a deer caught in the headlights.
{Rusev} какво искаш
Renee continues standing in silence, shocked at what she sees before her and unsure of how to continue. Eventually, she manages to stammer out a few questioning words, but nothing representing a genuine question.
[Aiden English Actually, Renee, I am quite glad that you are here. I have something I need to make heard, and now I have myself an audience thanks to you!
English turns around and faces directly towards the camera, holding the Money in the Bank briefcase as always, and with a smile on his face.
[Aiden English Ladies and gentlemen, what you see here before you is exactly as it appears. Some of my finest work as of late if I must be so bold. Because, unfortunately, we can not find it in ourselves to put our trust in the XWL Universe not to put this psychopath in charge of enforcing duties for Rusev's match tonight. And so, actions had to be taken to ensure the match is overseen with utmost fairness. And once that's over with, well.....
English looks down at his Money in the Bank briefcase and his smile grows even wider.
[Aiden English Let's just say that Dean Ambrose needs to watch his back because this storyline is drawing near to its end. In fact.....
But before he can finish the thought, English is distracted by something on the briefcase. There is a visible dent, presumably from the briefcase being used as a weapon against Jeff Hardy, but it seems it's more something within the dent that's bothering. In fact, it appears that some of Hardy's blood got on the briefcase as Aiden was swinging it at him.
[Aiden English Oh my goodness gracious! Do you see what you've done? You.... you.....
Aiden looks at Hardy with rage, as if to signify that he will assault him yet again, this time in clear view of the public. However, he seems to think of it, and instead walks over beside his limp body, kneels down and picks up Hardy's shirt, and uses it to wipe the blood off his briefcase, before throwing it down as hard as you can possibly throw a shirt.
[Aiden English Well at least you're finally good for something!
With these words Aiden looks over to Rusev, who nods, after which Aiden nods back. Both men then promptly exit Jeff Hardy's locker room, leaving only his still body and Renee Young continuing to stand in the doorway, shocked at the events that transpired.

The theme of Demon Allie hits and a roar of boos sound as she appears on stage headed to the ring.
[Demon Allie] Well. Well. Well. Cyberslam is right around the corner and we are pitted against April with Nikki Cross as special guest referee. HMMMMMM! It doesn't matter what happens in that match. It doesn't matter what match you people pick because before the night is over she will be broken.
Demon Allie gives a sadistic laugh
[Demon Allie] You see April must pay for her sins. She must answer to what she did to Rosemary. We will do what is nessassary to make her break. As for Nikki she won't be able to stop us. Now we know she is the special guest referee but it changes nothing. We know she doesn't plan on calling this match down the middle and we are ok with that. If she thinks shes going to get in our way she will catch the end of a brutal beatdown as well.
[Demon Allie] At cyberslam this ends with April becoming a servent of the hive. You see our plan is to bring out the darkness that still lies inside of her and then take her soul. There is nothing that will stop us from the pain and agony that she will endure in this match we can promise you that.
Demon Allie twitches and gives one last sadistic laugh
[Demon Allie] All of you are gonna witness the end of your precious April. April we know you are listening in the back. At cyberslam it will all end. You are finished and let us tell you there is nothing you can do to stop your demise. We promise you that.
Demon Allie drops the mic and exits the ring. She raises her cross high up as she heads up the ramp.
*The cameras shift to the backstage area. The scene is the locker room of Johnny Gargano. He's sat there in the corner with his head in his hands, muttering to himself. You can just about make out what he's saying but it is very soft and quiet.*
[Johnny Gargano] This is my moment. This is my time. This is my moment. This is my time.
*He repeats the same words over and over, it's almost quite alarming. Has he gone crazy? Has this obsession over the World title completely broken Gargano? He has shown some signs of that recently... or is all of this innocent and he's just psyching himself up for the big match later in the night?*
*Suddenly the sound of the locker room door being opened is heard and Gargano snaps out of his trance, completely alarmed. He's ready for another sneak attack, robbing him of his moment yet again as he leaps to his feet ready to defend himself. However, he quickly relaxes his aggressive stance when he realizes who it is that has entered his domain.*
[???] Johnny Wrestling!
* The camera pans around to reveal Johnny Garganos long time best friend....Tommaso Ciampa! Johnny and Tommaso embrace in a hug! These two have traveled the world together....and it now seems Ciampa is here in XWL!*
[Tommaso Ciampa] So this is what it's all about, Eh Johnny? You know I stayed stubborn for a while, I wanted to stay loyal to the independent scene....But I couldn't miss this could I? I've been there for plenty of big moment of your life, From your wedding....now this. The World Heavyweight Championship! Who would've thought this day would ever come? Neither of us has ever been handed anything. I've sat at home each and every week watching Anarchy...and each week it seems the powers that be...Just want to hold Johnny Gargano down! But I knew despite that...You'd achieve your dream! and here we are....
[Johnny Gargano] I'd heard the rumours but I didn't think they were true... that my friend... my best friend could be coming to XWL. And here you are!
*Gargano is overjoyed at the presence of Ciampa. This is as happy as anyone has seen him all year as he can barely contain his excitement and is grinning from ear to ear.*
[Johnny Gargano] But you're right. I remember when we used to dream of days like this, when we'd be competing for the World Heavyweight Championship. But tonight it isn't a dream, it's real. Even just saying it out loud right now feels weird. It used to be something that we'd laugh and joke about. But tonight, it's actually happening. I guess hard work really does pay off after all. We've always lived by the mantra that we need to seize our own opportunities and leave our own marks on this business. That you need to "do it yourself" as "nobody will do it for you". And look at us right now... we're both standing here as XWL superstars!
*Ciampa strokes his beard and nods approvingly, a grin also appearing on his own face.*
[Tommaso Ciampa] One thing for sure is, we've always done it our own way! That is what got us both noticed before, that is what got us both here. It's that attitude that got you into this position tonight. Nobody expected you to do what you did to The Miz, nobody expected you to beat Chris Jericho...Nobody expected you to be competing for the World Championship....except us. You know you had it in you, I always knew you had it in you. But Johnny.....These last few weeks....This isn't what got you here. You've become so obsessed with becoming World Champion that you've lost who you are, you've lost what makes you different from everybody else!
[Tommaso Ciampa] I wouldn't want that Johnny Gargano to win the World Championship...I'd want it to be Johnny Freakin' Wrestling! I'd want it to be the Johnny Gargano that got you here, the one that travelled all across this country with me. All those long drives, all those flights. I know this isn't the real you.
*Gargano's smile fades and he snaps back on the defensive.*
[Johnny Gargano] I'm fine okay? Everybody keeps telling me that. That I'm losing myself. That I'm going crazy. Well after everything I've been through this past year, can you really blame me!?
*Ciampa is saddened by his friend barking in his face and Gargano realizes this. He reins himself back in and calms down a lot.*
[Johnny Gargano] Look, I'm sorry. It's been a tough year. Maybe I haven't been myself lately. But as soon as that bell rings, you have my word that the Johnny Wrestling you know will be the one competing in that ring tonight. And I will give it my everything to win that championship.
*Gargano has a fire burning in his eyes as he looks into the eyes of his buddy.*
[Johnny Gargano] And when my hand is raised in victory, and that title is held high above my head, all of the bad stuff I have been through... all the ups and all of the downs... it would all have been worth it.
[Tommaso Ciampa] It might have been a tough year...But look at you now. Every time you looked beaten and out...you came fighting back. We all know it takes a lot to keep you down, to keep you beaten. You don't need to let everything get to you, you don't need to let the likes of Jericho get in your head. I'll be sat back here cheering you on, and Hey...Maybe when you're World Heavyweight Champion, one day it'll be Ciampa vs Gargano for the XWL World Heavyweight Championship! Now THAT would match watched all around the world.
*Gargano smiles once again.*
[Johnny Gargano] Sounds like another dream for us to make come true someday!
*Both men share a laugh and Gargano puts his arm around Ciampa as they both exit the locker room and head off towards catering for a real catch-up. Cyberslam continues...*

The bell rings and April and Allie glare at each other from across the ring. Nikki Cross stands between the two grinning madly at the chaos that she knows is coming
[Corey Graves] The level of animosity between these two could be cut with a knife!
[Mauro Ranallo] No kidding. Months of sneak attacks and bizarre goals have led us to this. A casket match. A match with only one rule. Beat your opponent so bad that he or she can be placed in a casket. This is always a personal match
Nikki walks towards Allie with a knowing glint in her eye as she wishes her good luck. Allie nods ever slightly and Nikki begins on her way to April. April’s eyes never leave Allie so it’s a surprise when Nikki suddenly closes the distance between the two her lips parting for a kiss and April reaches out, palming the face of Nikki. April’s head slowly turns to Nikki’s who manages to smile between the fingers of April. April’s face lights up with rage but suddenly Nikki pulls back and April is blasted into the corner from a tackle by Allie!
[Corey Graves] And this is why I don’t think April will win tonight. This isn’t a one on one match. It’s a handicap match
Allie quickly goes to work, hitting April with shoulder thrust that make April grunt out in pain as the air is continuously knocked out of her body. Allie steps back letting April falls to the mat on her hands and knees while holding her ribs. Allie turns to Nikki and nods to the casket. Nikki nods herself and leaves the ring making her way to April’s worst fear tonight. She’s opens it as the crowd boos. Allie smiles as she grips April by the hair and with great effort drags Ms Money in the Bank towards her awaiting doom. Mid way across the ring April manages to scramble to her feet. Allie still has ahold of April’s hair and yanks hard. April is pulled face to face with Allie and it’s in that moment she puts her head under the jaw of her opponent and drops to the ground!
[Mauro Ranallo] Pretty creative of the former Women’s Champion right there
April spies Nikki sliding into the ring while the Demon holds her aching Jaw. April knows that if she goes on the attack against Allie that Nikki will just get involved in due time. These two obviously aren’t gonna play fair. There is really only one choice here. April stares at Nikki and with her fingers makes a ‘Bring it’ motion. Nikki raises her eyebrows slightly and you can faintly hear her saying ‘If that’s what you want’
With that Nikki charges at April who ducks a wild clothesline. April runs forwards and bounces off the ropes towards Nikki with a full head of steam. Nikki ducks the incoming missile that is April. As April bounces off the ropes again she picks up even more speed and rushes towards her object of hate. Nikki jumps into the air to leapfrog April and that’s when she’s noticed that she’s made a mistake. April puts on the breaks and stops before Nikki can land. Coming down Cross has no way to stop the spinning back kick that lands perfectly across her cheek. The kick knocks Cross out cold and you can see the satisfaction spreading on April’s face. Quickly she kicks the body of Cross out of the ring as the crowd loudly cheers. As April turns around it’s only her instincts that tell her to duck! April ducks just in time to see a super kick fly over her head. April scoots herself into a corner while Allie levels her with a cold glare with a message that says ‘Don’t take your eyes off me’
April stands up and cautiously steps forward as does Allie. Both women put a hand out, gripping the other’s hand. They lock up slowly and that’s when the struggle begins. With AJ Lee in possession of her body there weren’t many women who couldn’t over power her but with April in control it has been like AJ’s body strength has increased two fold! April starts to push Allie backwards to the corner. Allie fights back but April is clearly gaining the advantage. April, with gritted teeth, manages to push Allie all the way into the corner. Allie, with her back against the wall, lips starts to move and April knowing her opponent rears back for head and connects with a loud headbutt! The mist that Allie was getting ready to spit spills harmlessly from her lips
[Corey Graves] That was a pretty smart move by April
Taking advantage of her headbutt April begins to lay into Allie with a flurry of lefts and rights. Some connect to the chest. Some to the ribs. Some to the face. And some miss from the sheer wild movements of her punches. Allie does her best to cover up but the weight of the punches are pushing her down into the corner. Finally with a roar and gripping her hair April backs off. Allie stands back up on shaky legs as April marches across the ring and sizes her up. April suddenly takes off and runs full sprint to spear Allie into the corner. But Allie dodges in the last second and April spears the ring post! The sickening smack brings‘ooooo’sfrom the crowd. April melts to the floor on the outside as the grips her left shoulder in pain. Biting her tongue seems like the only thing that stops her from screaming in agony. Allie knows she can’t let April recuperate and leaves the ring, approaching April who is crawling towards the barricade. April is crawling closer when suddenly Allie’s boot gently touches the back of her head. Then suddenly with great force April’s face it bashed into the barricade! The fans boo as Allie grins while grinding her boot against the head of April which also digs April’s face harder against the barricade
[Mauro Ranallo] That was...that was just pretty brutal honestly
[Corey Graves] We all knew this was gonna get physical but we’re not even that far into the match and this is already getting slightly uncomfortable!
Allie pulls her foot back and April just slides to the ground. Allie grabs April by her hair and drags her close to the fans. April’s eyes flutter slightly as her face is held on display for the crowd while they boo Allie.‘Took a good look because you’ll never see her again!’And with little sympathy Allie pulls backwards with all her force slamming April back first to the ground. There is no give with April connecting with the ground and she is left to simply left to stare at the lights. There is still no sign of Nikki Cross so Allie figures she’s going to have to do this all herself. Allie grabs April’s leg and begins to drag her around the ring to the casket that is set up right in front of the ring apron in front of the ramp. Allie stops to open the casket, April final resting place. She opens the lid and turns back to April who has started to crawl towards the steps at this point. April is right before the steps when she’s feels a boot on the back of her head again. Remembering last time April rolls out of the way in time as Allie kicks forward, knocking the top of the steel steps aside!
[Corey Graves] If that would have connected I’m pretty sure April would have died before Allie could have stolen her soul
April has no time to recover as she’s yanked up and dragged back near the steel steps! Allie hooks April’s arm and lifts April with full intent on suplexing her on the bottom steel steps. April gets halfway in the air before kicking her leg and coming back down. April takes the opportunity to turn the table and switches places. Now it’s April trying to lift Allie! But Allie sticks her foot between April’s legs and blocks the attempt. Now Allie switches their position! And this time when she lifts April, April can’t block! However when April is falling backwards she manages to land on her feet on the steel steps with her arms wrapped around the neck of Allie! Without hesitating April drops down with a neck breaker that slams both women on the steel steps!
The crowd loves it but the look on both women’s faces is straight agony. Allie and April rolls off the steps both holding the back of their heads all the while. Both are trying to stand but it’s April who gets up first. She goes to Allie and pulls her to her feet and stands head to head with her. ‘We can stop this! We don’t have to fight!’ April says to her. But Allie simply stares at her with contempt before suddenly spitting out mist! April side steps it but a scream of agony makes April look behind her to see Nikki on the ground holding her eyes! Without warning April is pushed hard into Nikki. In a mess of tangled limbs April and Nikki fall together. April quickly bounces to her feet see Allie charging her. April ducks a clothesline but as she turns around is caught with a brutal super kick to the jaw that rocks her. April falls to the ground and the camera focuses on Allie who is trying to get Nikki to recover from that whole ordeal. Seeing it’s pointless Allie looks to go back to work on April but when she looks down April is gone. With a growl Allie looks around for any sign of the Queen of Darkness. Seeing none is realizes that April must have gone somewhere under the ring. Allie begins to look under the flap as the crowd cheer because April pops out on the complete other side. April is holding her jaw in pain but she maintains her stealth while sliding into the ring. Allie, with frustration, comes up only to find April charging her!
April suicide dives through the ropes connecting and pushing Allie into the barricade. April doesn’t just stop there though as she hooks Allie’s arm and with a grunt slams Allie gut first on the barricade. Allie hangs limply as April suddenly turns her back on her and plants her feet. With grace April back flips and catches Allie with a pele kick to the back of the head that sends Allie crashing unceremoniously to the ground
[Mauro Ranallo] What a kick!
[Corey Graves] A kick like that to the back of the head must have knocked her out! Especially since she couldn’t even see it coming
April looks at Allie and while she’s satisfied with the damage she’s done she knows it won’t be enough to put her in the casket. April instead sees her next destination. A mischievous glint graces her eyes as she strides forward and finds herself before the announcers tables. The spanish announce team back up April begins to rip the table apart. April then turns her attention to Mauro and Corey’s table. As April starts to dismantle it she’s struck from behind. Nikki Cross stands behind her, face livid and eyes watering from the mist. She grabs April’s hair and begins to bash April’s face into the table. Over and over we see April’s face slammed into the table before Nikki tosses April to the side like trash
[Mauro Ranallo] She says she loves April but yet she’ll put her in danger or even assault her
[Corey Graves] I think Nikki believes in tough love Mauro
Nikki continues the job April started. She rips the table apart and turns her gaze back to her object of affection. Nikki licks her lips slowly and slowly stalks towards April. She lifts April and lays April back first on the table. Most would expect her to start punching or kicking or attacking April in general but instead she just slowly mounts April
[Mauro Ranallo] What is she….?
Closer and closer Nikki leans her face closer to April’s. Closer and closer their lips come to each other. Nikki closes her eyes just before her lips make contact. With April’s forehead! April at the last second threw her head forward and caught Nikki in the mouth with a headbutt! Nikki is falling off April, off the table and near Corey and Mauro Ranallo
[Corey Graves] April put a stop to that sleeping beauty reenactment. She's really using her head tonight to
April hops of the table and quickly scoops up Nikki. With her hand on the back of Nikki’s shirt and on the back of her pants she screams at the spanish announcers to get out of the way. It’s a narrow fit due to the chair in the way but April manages to run both herself and Nikki past the obstacles and throws her over the barricade! Standing in front of the spanish announcer’s table April tries to catch her breath but she’s suddenly yanked onto the table by her hair! Allie immediately connects with a couple of punches but not to be outdone April also begins to swing! April begins to get the upper hand and her punches begins to teeter Allie who if she falls, with be falling either on or through Corey and Mauro’s table. Another swing and connect has Allie’s arms swinging. Going for the finishing punch April’s throws all her weight into it!
Allie ducks though and the weight behind April’s punch sends her forward. With their positions switched Allie shoves April who somehow manages to keep her balance as she jumps to the next table. Allie is on her quickly though and she also jumps to the other table. The two lock up as they struggle for dominance. This after all could be the turning point for either woman. There is an animal like scream that neither woman notice until it’s too late. Nikki has climbed over the barricade and onto the spanish announcers table. She suddenly charges and leaps into the air. Her landing on both women and the combined weight of all three makes the table implode! Bodies rolls and twist and their are cries of pain but at the end all three women lay unmoving.
[Corey Graves] Not our table!
[Mauro Ranallo] Wow, these three seem intent on destroying each other
[Corey Graves] Type of things that happen with you put three unstable women together in a hostile environment
Nikki is the first to recover. April and Allie are only slightly stirring while Nikki rises to her feet. April eyes start to open and her mind tell her she needs to move now! April begins to try and crawl somewhere that isn’t there right now. Nikki shakes Allie awake and points to April. Out of the wreckage April grips the ring apron with a shaky hand. She pulls herself to her feet and stands. As she turns around she finds herself look at the forms of Cross and Allie
[Corey Graves] I’ve had the pleasure or you could call it horror of calling every match April has had. I can’t say for once that April has no chance of winning this match. It’s over for her
[Mauro Ranallo] You don’t know that exactly Cor-
April smiles at the two and that sets them into motion. April can do nothing but curl up as she hit with fist and kicks. Allie and Nikki work as a unit, not letting up the assault for a second. April is on the ground unmoving when a final stomp to the back has her scream out in pain. Allie nods to the ring and Nikki grabs April up before tossing her in the ring. As April rolls into the ring she leaps to her feet and runs the ropes. Both women are getting in as April rebounds to them. She leaps into the air looking for a double clothesline but only connects with Allie. Nikki ducks it and turns to face April. A kick to the gut bends April over and Nikki quickly hooks her arm. With a wild look in her eyes she slaps her face hard before going to hit April with the Swinging Neck Breaker! But April pushes her off at the last second! When Nikki rushes back April grabs her quickly and the position she’s in is a familiar one!
[Mauro Ranallo] April has her in position for that Sister Abigail!
April grins as the crowd goes wild! She leans down to kiss Nikki’s cheek as she usually does. But Nikki moves her mouth and April instead now has her lips planted on Cross’s! Nikki grabs the back of April’s head as April tries with all her might to break the kiss. Finally satisfied and laughing Nikki pushes April who is turned around into a Codebreaker from Allie! This puts Ms Money in the bank out cold!
[Corey Graves] I told you. April could be the greatest woman I’ve watched step into that ring. It doesn’t matter because every time she begins to gain the upper-hand Nikki or Allie stop it. April is good-no-she’s great! But she can’t beat these two at the same time
April lays limp in the ring as Nikki eyes look to be in a state of bliss. Meanwhile Allie eyes the casket and nods to it. Nikki comes out of her trance and grins. Nikki grabs April’s arms while Allie grabs her legs. The drag April to the other side of the ring. Oddly enough the lights go out suddenly! [Mauro Ranallo] I think the Sisterhood has decided to make their presence known!
[Corey Graves] But April told them not to get involved
[Mauro Ranallo] Their loyalty to them is unwavering. There’s no way that they would let April be kidnapped by these two!
When the lights come back on!...nothing has changed. There’s not a single Sisterhood member anywhere around the ring. Allie and Nikki give a questioning look to each other before shrugging
[Corey Graves] I guess you were wrong Mauro
[Mauro Ranallo] But...I don’t understand
Both women’s goals are within reach. All they have to do it open the lip and roll April in it. Both women go to the casket and open the lid. Only to find red eyes staring back up at them
[Corey Graves] Is that….
[Mauro Ranallo] That’s Abigail!
Allie pops up from her laying down position and that’s when you see that she has a fire extinguisher in hand. She smiles a little as she attacks! The smile looks a lot like April’s. Foam is shot into the eyes of both Nikki and Allie as they fall back into the ring. April is barely moving but can see what’s going on. She smiles weakly at her daughter coming to rescue her. While Nikki and Allie deal with their stinging eyes Abigail reaches for something in the casket. She pulls it out with glee. April’s noose! Abigail tosses the noose over the top rope where it lands on April’s stomach. With her job done the 13 year old girl hops out of the casket and rushes up the ramp. She spares one more concerned look at April before dashing in the back
April meanwhile is climbing to her feet. Noose in hand April’s eyes harden as she stares at her adversaries. Allie begins to sit up but April rushes forward and with a soccer like kick across the forehead sends her right back down. April then turns her attention to Nikki Cross who is on her hands and knees. April walks towards her and slips the noose around her neck
[Mauro Ranallo] We’ve seen April do unspeakable things with that noose. This could get bad real fast [Corey Graves] If you’ve never watched April’s first year here it’s easy to forget just how...unsettling she can be. But we may be about to find out
April then lifts Nikki to her feet. No one knows what April is gonna do. And that’s when April suddenly tosses Nikki over the top rope and onto the floor below. Except Nikki’s feet never touch the ground! April grabbed the rope before Nikki hit the ground!
[Mauro Ranallo] Oh my god…
In front of Corey and Mauro Nikki is basically being hanged. Nikki’s feet kick wildly at nothing but air while her hands grip at her neck. The visually is definitely unsettling to look at. Nikki’s eyes are wide in panic and her face looks like it’s starting to lose its color. April eyes are wide too. Lunacy runs through them and her wild cheshire cat grin doesn’t make anything better
[Corey Graves] You don’t think April would...kill her would she?
[Mauro Ranallo] I don’t think April is a murderer Corey. But considering this could be April’s last match ever if she loses...I don’t know…
Nikki’s movements become still and that’s finally when April lets go. Cross’s body hits the ground and falls forward. April suddenly turns around and level Allie with a glare who is getting to her feet. Allie was out for most of that...what could only be called as a murder attempt. She grins at April as she takes a step forward
‘That’s what I want! Let your darkness out! So the hive may rip it from your soul’ Allie screams. April doesn’t respond and instead charges Allie who was not ready for such a quick motion. April spears Allie through the ropes and onto the casket. Both women rolls off of it and hit the ground below. April and Allie shake off the cobwebs and begin to stand. April catches Allie with a forearm that sends the Demon reeling back. Allie comes back with a kick to the chest that sends April back peddling. April waste no time in charging and looks to connect with another spear. Allie in a show of athleticism leap frogs April! April spears herself head first into the casket and bounces off [Corey Graves] You know that hurt!
April’s vision is blurred as she staggers to her feet. Allie hops towards April, intent in hitting her with yet another Code Breaker. But April catches her legs! April turns them around and throws Allie! Allie’s back connects with the casket and her mouth shows a silent scream. Before she can even process the pain April is kissing her cheek and plants her with a Sister Abigail! Allie’s head bounces off the ground much to the pleasure of April who laughs loudly. April stands up and begins to drag Allie to the right side of the ring where the casket isn’t blocking the bottom rope. It takes some effort but April manages to rolls Allie inside the ring and follows suit
[Corey Graves] I can’t believe this...she’s actually gonna do it!
April goes to the casket and opens it. She turns to Allie and slowly rolls the young woman into the casket. April stares at the beaten form of Allie and a look cuts through the sadistic ones April has been showing this match. It’s the same look she gave Rosemary. A look of pit. Because just like at this event over a year ago, April is put into a position she didn’t want to be in.
‘It didn’t have to be this way...Why wouldn’t you list-’!
All of a sudden mist is spit into the eyes of April! April screams in agony as she flies back into the ring! April is holding her eyes as she backs up. Suddenly a forearm into the back of her head knocks her flat on her face. Standing above her is Nikki Cross. Rope marks cling to her neck like a tattoo. Her face is a mix of pain and oddly enough pleasure. Nikki goes to the casket and grips the hand of Allie, helping to lift Allie in a seating position
[Corey Graves] That was her best chance. It’s over. There is no Sisterhood. Abigail isn’t coming back. And Natalya isn’t here right now. It’s over for April
A loud smacking sound echoes throughout the arena. With shock the arena watches as Nikki punches Allie straight in the face. Allie’s shocked expression turns to that of peaceful sleep as she falls back into the casket
[Mauro Ranallo] What the hell is going on?!
Nikki laughs to herself as she closes the lid and signals for the bell! The bell is rang but everyone can still not process what has happened. April is still unmoving while gears in Nikki’s mind start to turn. She suddenly with all her might kicks the casket. It falls off the stand it was set on and lands on the ground with a splat [Mauro Ranallo] There’s another human being in there!
[Corey Graves] I don’t think she cares one bit
April is coming to just in time to hear that she’s become the winner of the match. Nikki is leaving the ring but not the arena. She instead begins to dig under the ring and what she comes out with could make anyone’s blood run cold.
[Mauro Ranallo] Come on Nikki! Put down the gasoline can!
Nikki holds the gas can high into the air for everyone to see! That includes April who weakly begins to crawl towards the outside of the ring. Nikki, with a big smile, walks forward and begins to twist the cap off. She then starts to pour gasoline all over the casket! Many fans are taken back by what’s unfolding right into front of them!
[Corey Graves] Someone get out here and stop this!
Nikki finally empties the gas can and tosses it to the side. The smell fills the arena as some people look away while April continues crawling. Finally she hits the outside of the ring and lays near the feet of Cross. Nikki digs around her pockets and finds what she’s looking for. She pulls out a book of matches
[Mauro Ranallo] Somebody help!
Nikki lights a match. The flames dance around her iris as April looks on in a horrified expression. Nikki looks down at April and smiles ‘This is for you!’ She says ‘This is all for you because I LOVE you April!’
When Nikki throws that match the same fate that befell Rosemary will happen to Allie. Both women burned in a match with April. Something that still haunts April to this day. Something that April has to live with for the rest of her life no matter how many times she’s tries to forget. April may hate Allie...but people can change. She herself has changed. And if she ever wanted help April wants to be the one that helps her. April won’t let history repeat itself twice! With the last of her energy April hops to her feet and tackles Nikki! But the force of the tackle knocks the match from her hand. The match falls slowly as the arena watch it’s trajectory as the match falls and falls. Onto Allie’s casket [Corey Graves] Oh my-
Corey is cut off by the big ball of fire that engulfs the casket. April turns around and her eyes widen in horror as she watches the casket and Allie in turn, in flames. There are screams coming from the casket and April drops to her knees. Tears pool around her eyes as she turns to Nikki. Numb like she points to the Allie and ask ‘Why?’
Nikki smiles, love in her stare, and says ‘For you’ This brings April back to when she smashed a lantern across the face of Mia Yim, claiming it was for Natalya. Cause it was. Looking at the pleased expression of Nikki and listening to the horrific screams of Allie make April grab her head in mental and emotional agony! Medics armed with fire extinguishers come flying out the back. They begin to fight the fire but in April’s eyes the deed is already done. She sits on her knees watching as her enemy burns. Burned by her other enemy. For her. Nikki continues to laugh. Her laugh bouncing around April’s head. The feed to Cyberslam is suddenly cut and an impromptu commercial is played

We reach a brief intermission from the action with a promotional package for the Ravishing Russian, Lana. In the video, the "Ice Queen" is showcasing some of her dance moves on an XWL stage while her voice begins to speak over the scene.
LANA I have introduced you to the most talented and charismatic superstar that XWL has ever seen. I have even helped propel that superstar to the forefront of this once dying company.. But now that the Lion of Bulgaria is at the top where he belongs, it is time to introduce to you a new, highly anticipated talent. A talent with beauty never before seen inside of an XWL ring. A talent with charisma that outshines any man or woman on the roster. A talent with an untapped rage that cannot be tamed or silenced. A talent that can only truly be described by one word: R A V I S H I N G.
LANA It is time for the ravishing spotlight to shine on me, and that means that it is MY time to prove to the world and all of its doubters that Lana strikes twice.. XWL, the Ravishing Revolution is coming.
Once Lana's monologue comes to a poignant finish, we instantly hear an eager Corey Graves and reasonably skeptical Mauro Ranallo chime in on the situation.
Corey Graves Yes! FINALLY! The ever-talented Lana is going to continue to grace us, now via her unparalleled skills in the ring! The women's division should enjoy it while they can, because nobody's going to be winning but Lana once the Ravishing Revolution kicks off here in XWL!
Mauro Ranallo Come on now, we have no reason to believe that Lana is at all skilled inside the ring. As far as we've been told, she's never stepped foot in one competitively in her life! Talented as she may be on the mic and as a manager and wife to the XWL TV Champion Rusev, I think the women's division as well as the XWL universe have strong reason to be skeptical about the "Ravishing" One's abilities inside the squared-circle.
Corey Graves Nonsense, Mauro! Didn't you hear? "Untapped rage that cannot be tamed or silenced!" Lana's going to show up and CRUSH the entire women's division, just like her husband Rusev did when he arrived on the scene. This is going to be great, the start of an era! The Ravishing Revolution is upon us!
Mauro Ranallo Nonetheless Corey, the competition in the women's division continues to heat up as we anticipate the in-ring debut of the Ravishing Russian, Lana. One thing's for sure, this ought to be quite the show..
And just like that, we have received breaking news that the Ravishing Russian, and wife of XWL's current reigning TV Champion Rusev, will soon be making her in-ring debut by joining the increasingly packed women's division. The video package comes to a close with a dazzling shot of Lana on the screen while her theme music slowly fades out and we cut to the next segment.

The scene opens up and you can see the match pop up on the titantron, and it’s the long awaited rivalry everyone has been seething to see write it’s next, or maybe final chapter. The book has been long, and it has been something that you can see change the entire history of female wrestling. Asuka versus Alexa Bliss is the image capturing the eyes of the entire audience.
They get a few moments before the creeping sounds of a deep drum fill the speakers. The energy is sucked out of the room, a flash of multiple masks and they are thrown away by the woman beneath her feet one after the other. The Empress finally reveals her face as she’s walking in slow motion and steps closer to the screen almost breaking out of it, until the lights dim.
A curdling scream can be heard echoing throughout, and Asuka appears on the top of the stage. She has a smirk on her face with a spotlight surrounding her. Her black coat, her mask with the face upside down, almost a haunting image to witness. Each motion is fluent, her hands are out to her sides, the camera zooms in on her right fist as it's clenched by each finger. She covers her hand over the mouth hole of the mask almost giggling like a school girl with it on.
[Corey Graves] Really, you're going to mock Alexa right now out of all times. This is the biggest match of her entire career and she can't take it seriously. You'd think that she would have some humility for once.
[Mauro Ranallo] Out of the dark corners of Asuka's mind has risen a newer side. You can say it's parlor tricks, mind games or even playing with her prey. They say turning the frown upside down can create happiness, there’s an evil lurking underneath the focus of Asuka. She's more than ready Corey, this is how she works. The Empress has been waiting for this moment, and she’s soaking it in however she feels like it. This time she gets her hands on Alexa Bliss under a new influence, a new power acquired.
[Corey Graves] The power that she has is of a bully, using her strength to her advantage and to make others feel sorrow, hurt, even pain. She is becoming her true self, I can’t say that i’m surprised. I feel for Alexa Bliss tonight, and I feel for the people who have to see Asuka become this monster.
Each step down that ramp are getting us closer and closer to seeing this war reach it’s pinnacle moments. Many of the fans are not knowing how to react themselves. It’s mixed emotions filling the air and Asuka swaying back and forth, her hands stretched above her as she’s in her own world. The world created by her own madness, or pure bliss?
[Mauro Ranallo] Asuka has become this monster within good reason, this isn’t a movie.. This is real life. Our minds change, our reflections remain the same. You have to change in order to progress, that’s the way of life. Little Miss Bliss is about to learn a hard lesson and take a shot of reality. If she somehow manages to escape the clutches of the woman coming to the ring, I’ll for one be shocked.
Reaching the end of the ramp, she pauses and then darts up to the steps, climbing up each step with a loud STOMP! Then she switches up to scale the turnbuckle from the outside, rather than her usual inside routine. Her lavish black fur coat is slipped off and dropped below nonchalantly. The mask that is upside down is exactly what Asuka does. She begins wrapping her legs around the turnbuckle post and she bends backwards as her shimmys her body upside down, almost snake like. The spotlight turns pitch black, you can only see her silhouette. Each piece of her hair is going left to right, and she falls backwards completely, flipping onto her knees.
[Corey Graves] I’ve never seen Asuka quite like this, almost channeling something, someone… else from above.
[Mauro Ranallo] Or below.
The Empress rips the mask off and rushes to the center of the ring with it in her teeth. The eyes tell all, the eyes show the soul and Asuka is purely bent on destruction from one simple look at the referee. A mask is thrown away, but that’s not all. Asuka begins to rip at her hair preparing herself to feel pain, feel something. Almost trying to slip out of this darkness she found herself in due to Bliss. It fails to connect to her alter ego as she calls onto a higher power, mumbling to herself.
A few more beats and the music dies down, Asuka still serpentine and exciting all at once. She begins adjusting her armbands and then leans down, waiting for her Bliss to make her presence known.
The theme belonging to none other than Little Miss Bliss ceases any sign of cheers and applause that was directed at Asuka and immediately converts them into loud boos. Alexa may view herself as the victim of this "bully" story between herself and The Empress of Tomorrow, but for The XWL Universe? The real bully has always been Alexa.
[Mauro Ranallo] A bit of a contrast between how each competitor is being greeted by The XWL Universe here in Brooklyn.
[Corey Graves] I just don't get it, how can these people boo someone like Alexa Bliss?
[Mauro Ranallo] Apparently, quite easily, Corey.
Soon stepping out from behind the curtain emerges The Wicked Witch herself, geared for battle along with a somewhat confident walk, Alexa Bliss stops at the top of the stage and throws both hands into the air. Showing off her leather gloves that have a glitter skeletal design she stands there taking the moment in for a couple of seconds.
With the backs of her hands to the camera, she soon clenches them into fists, showing off a bit of her fury that she always displays during her entrance. It's meant to say that she's going to crush whoever she's about to face...but given that person is Asuka, and they'll be clashing in a Submission Match? It's less convincing than normal. Alexa did defeat Asuka on the grandest stage of them all at Final Stand X, but tonight pinning her won't matter...the only way to win this match is to submit Asuka. A task that tickles any fan into a fit of laughter just thinking for a even a second than she has a cold day in hell's chance of defeating someone like Asuka under such circumstances.
[Mauro Ranallo] Alexa Bliss has a seriously tall order to fill tonight.
[Corey Graves] I'm sorry is that a crack at her height?
[Mauro Ranallo] No, that's a fact regarding what she must do tonight. Asuka is a veteran of every style nearly, ESPECIALLY submissions. Alexa Bliss is a openly admitted novice when it comes to submissions...so given the options The XWL Universe have been voting for this last month...this night could go from bad, to worse, to downright disastrous VERY quickly.
[Corey Graves] Why is everyone so convinced that Alexa is screwed?
[Mauro Ranallo] Because, if you want me to be truly honest regarding my analysis of this situation? She is.
[Corey Graves] I think that's a harsh judgment to jump to.
[Mauro Ranallo] It is harsh, but honestly what was she thinking agreeing to this? She tried to showoff 3 weeks ago and prove she had a hidden "Bliss-Mission" talent...and a rookie nearly defeated her.
[Corey Graves] Whoa whoa whoa, Alexa was about to win that match and she would have but Asuka came out and assaulted her, because she saw herself in that rookie's place and it terrified her.
[Mauro Ranallo] I struggle to believe for even a moment of Asuka's life that anything has ever "terrified" her.
Oddly oozing arrogance, Alexa starts to strut down the stage, clearly not bothered by the idea that she literally is a sheep heading to the slaughterhouse tonight. No, with every step she takes you see someone that truly believes they not only can make Asuka tap out, but that they actually will.
Her eyes look to signs along the ramp that say "Asuka's going to KILL you" and "Na-na-na-na hey hey hey goodbye" in reference to the potential option that if so voted, the loser presumed to be Alexa could have to leave XWL. Despite these in her face, she rolls her eyes, not letting it dampen her spirits in the slightest.
[Corey Graves] I think confidence goes along way, and the look I see in Alexa's eyes? Doesn't look like someone that plans on giving up tonight.
[Mauro Ranallo] To be fair, Corey...she may not have a choice. Asuka is vicious, and while Alexa has a mean streak about her, I'm afraid there's just no comparison.
[Corey Graves] Why is it so hard to even for one second believe she's capable of coming out of this the victor?
[Mauro Ranallo] Because, to you and a select group Alexa may be a victim of bullying...but to myself and others she's the bully. And bullies have a way about getting what's coming to them in the end. It's hard to ignore that Alexa's over confidence allowed her to accept Asuka's challenge, and then her ego drove her to name the consequences for the loser. Alexa has painted herself to be a victim, and yes in the past couple of weeks Asuka has become the monstrous bully Alexa made her out to be for the better part of this year. But the woman that started this, that is the bully, that is the person that is walking down that ramp as if she's the conquering hero heading into battle to vanquish the evil bully. When in reality, in actuality that is...she's the evil that is about to be vanquished.
As Alexa's eye roll ends, her eyes finally look straight in front of her, and as soon as her eyes catch a glimpse of Asuka, practically foaming at the mouth in the ring, all that boisterous confidence she's been oozing thus far, completely dissipates in seconds.
She stands there, almost frozen in mid-walk, her chin tucking into her neck, her eyes widening...her grin turning itself back in to a meek pucker. Asuka is rubbing her hands together, smiling from ear to ear...and in this moment, as their eyes meet. As the exuberance leaves Alexa, you see her true feeling heading into this battle. She's scared, and now we all see it too. It's hard to ignore it, she's literally paused in time, as her eyes are almost chained to Asuka's gaze. It's as if Asuka is medusa, and her gaze has turned Alexa to stone.
[Corey Graves] Wh-what's wrong with Alexa?
[Mauro Ranallo] Reality just sunk in, Corey.
The referee steps toward the ropes, in between Asuka temporarily obstructing Alexa's view of her to see what's gotten into Little Miss Bliss. But the moment Alexa's eyes see the referee, the spellbound state she was in is broken, and looks around at all the amused faces along the ramp that saw her freeze and quickly turns away from them picking up the pace and walking to the ring as if nothing happened, as if ignoring the fact that she literally froze in fear upon seeing her opponent will make everyone else forget it, but we're not going to forget it, because that is the story of this match. Alexa is in over her head, we've seen it a dozen times from Men and Women in XWL. They talk a big game, but then when they have to back it up, they're eaten alive and it's the last you see of them. That is the fate that is pulling Alexa in it's direction tonight. She is nothing more than another statistic that didn't learn from the mistakes of those before her.
[Corey Graves] Come on Alexa, snap out of it, you got this.
[Mauro Ranallo] I'm typically very optimistic...but Corey...that is the look of a Woman that confirms what many already believe, she is screwed. She may not have truly realized it before she stepped out here? Maybe not even as soon as she stood on that stage. But when her eyes met Asuka's? She saw her reaper, and the sand in the hourglass is slowly running out.
Alexa doesn't walk around the ring to perform her usual theatrics and posing, no...she steps up onto the apron at the bottom of the ramp, and quickly enters the ring, adverting her eyes from Asuka and removing her jacket. She turns to the corner to take a deep breath, as the focus now is on finding out what the fans voted. What consequences is at stake for the loser?
[Mauro Ranallo] Well the moment of truth has arrived, in seconds we'll know what fate the loser will have to be forced to deal with.
[Corey Graves] Actually Mauro, I'm getting word that we're currently experiencing some technical difficulties. The monitor isn't pulling up the results, so it appears our ring announcer JoJo is being handed a card to officially announce it.
As you can expect with live television issues can come about so you have to roll with the punches so JoJo steps back to the center of the ring having been handed a card and looks at it before raising her mic.
[JoJo] The following is a SUBMISSION match, where the loser....must kiss the boot of the winner!
Fans loudly cheer as there truly was no bad consequences that they didn't want to see, while we notice that Alexa breathes a sigh of relief. After all kissing Asuka's boot may be humiliating...but at least she'll still have a job after it. Asuka takes this time to kick her leg up, and rest her boot on the turnbuckle, showing it off to Alexa before making a kissy face and laughing.
[JoJo] Introducing first, from Osaka, Japan...she is The Empress of Tomorrow...ASUKA!
Asuka pulls her arm up to the sky and her other wrapped around her waist, putting both her ankles and bows with the lights directly on her. She peaks up during the bow and you can see a change in her smile, chattering her teeth as she looks at Bliss almost tasting her demise. Screaming out a few words in Japanese, she pumps her fist into her chest. We don’t know what that was, Asuka went from bowing and into pure excitement. Nonetheless, she stands her ground and raises her eyebrow at Alexa.
[JoJo] And her opponent, from Columbus, Ohio...Alexa Bliss!
Alexa steps forward, staring at Asuka and suddenly her furious demeanor returns as she shouts "THE DAYS OF YOUR BULLYING END HERE, ASUKA!" This burst of confidence however is soon broken up by the MASSIVE, and we do mean MASSIVE "ASUKA'S GONNA KILL YOU!" chant that overtakes any other sound in the arena. Alexa's demeanor once again changes, but it's not just the return of fear, it's anger. She glares at the fans chanting this, using her hands as earmuffs as she backs into the corner and shakes her head like a child that's been told something they don't want to hear.
Meanwhile Asuka is a maestro with her finger pointers being waved as she hums to the melody of those asking for the head of the witch. Only a few words are spoken, and these send chills down Bliss’s spine. “I WANT YOU… ….TO BEG ME TO STOP”. She offers out her hand and Alexa looks on disgusted and freaked out by the invitation, the referee intervenes and Asuka laughs to herself shrugging. Both go to their corners and the atmosphere settles in.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
[Mauro Ranallo] Good lord I am still trying to recover from that truly deadly dropkick delivered by Alexa Bliss to the back of Asuka's head. She struck her like a bullet with pin point precision. There was so much power behind it that Alexa herself fell out of the ring, this could be bad news for Asuka.
[Corey Graves] You've got that right, sure you can make your opponent physically tap out, but you also can render them unable to compete, and force them to pass out. If Alexa locks in a submission after that? She may very well silence the doubters she had heading into this match.
Alexa stands along the apron for a moment, trying to connect the pieces in her mind as ideas run wild. She knows whatever she does needs to be big, to seal the deal on this match, so soon she starts to climb onto the top rope, taking her time because a fall at this point could be catastrophic. Once she's up, she's not looking to deliver a "Twisted Bliss" no she starts to lean forward, trying to pull Asuka up, as if she were attempting to force her up high with her. What in god's name does she have planned? Asuka's got life in her, to the point that her body is on auto-pilot as it's guided up onto the second rope by Little Miss Bliss.
[Mauro Ranallo] A peculiar strategy, why wouldn't she just lock in a Submission?
[Corey Graves] You dare to STILL doubt her?
[Mauro Ranallo] It just, it seems like a risk she doesn't need to take given the current situation.
[Corey Graves] Maybe she could beat her right now, but Alexa Bliss doesn't live her life off a "maybe" she wants to ensure that Asuka is defeated within the next 30 seconds, and from the looks of things, it's almost like she's trying to setup a chokeslam of sorts.
Alexa's hand moves away from Asuka's hair now that she's up onto the second rope, and suddenly grabs her throat, looking for exactly what Corey said, a chokeslam of sorts from the top rope. But all of this time that has passed has only allowed Asuka valuable time to recover, just enough that she realizes her surroundings and starts to struggle. The referee leans in ordering Alexa to release her hand from around Asuka's throat, and for both of them to get down, but within the blink of an eye, Asuka lands a STIFF back fist to Alexa's jaw, rocking her so much that her balance is completely lost. The issue with that, is she still had her hand clutching Asuka's throat, and with one foot slipping, the audience lets out an audible concerned gasp as things go horribly wrong and both start to crash and burn. Where the attentive referee gets a lesson in staying at a respectable distance, because as they both fall off the corner...he's caught in the crossfire, and the shocked screams and stunned gasps get louder as not only Asuka and Alexa but the official as well lie on the mat in a broken heap.
[Mauro Ranallo] OH MY GOD! Are they okay?
[Corey Graves] That was a nasty spill...
[Mauro Ranallo] Both Women were in dangerous territory trying to fight on the top rope, and while that back fist hit its mark...it ultimately led to the truly horrifying moment we just witnessed.
Alexa's lying under the bottom rope writhing in agony, Asuka's on the mat not far from her having rolled off of the referee that she initially landed on and you can tell they won't be getting up for some time. This isn't a "Holy Shit!" worthy moment, because something amazingly shocking didn't happen, no...what happened was a tragic accident between two professionals that put themselves in harms way and now could be unable to continue this match. Concern is the only thing on people's minds, even Alexa because we swear it looked like her face smacked right off of the canvas when she landed, there was no time to brace for impact or preparing to endure something brutal, it happened so fast that Alexa especially is down and out.
[Mauro Ranallo] W- w- wait.. Who is that!?
The commentary can barely get a word in because someone has hopped the barricade and making a straight dive into the ring. Security swarms on the outside, and this person stands tall over Bliss and Asuka as they are both on the canvas.
Their face is covered with a hoodie, all you can see are the sleeveless cut arms. The intimidation factor begins to set in, and Asuka holds onto the back of her neck struggling to get up to her knees. Bliss rolls over to the ropes and catches her breath. What makes matter worse is the referee is out cold from the crossfire of Bliss and Asuka.
The hooded person is hooded no more as it’s revealed to be..
[Mauro Ranallo] What is Shayna Baszler doing inside an XWL ring?!
[Corey Graves] OH.. MY.. GOD..
Shayna looks at both of the opponents in this match and selects her target. Asuka locks eyes with Shayna and reacts harshly with getting up into her face because she is not letting her take this moment of having Bliss where she wants her. The Wicked Witch is nursing her wounds not facing towards the two, and Shayna brushes off her chest, and sweeps both feet back on the mat, almost as if she’s a bull. She reaches into her hoodie and pulls out a playing card, the camera focuses in on it and it is the “Ace Of Spades”.
She decides who to go after and looks at the fans for approval mockingly. Shayna flicks it into the face of Asuka before kicking in her ankle that bends instantly and she has no choice but to drop to the mat, from balance loss. The hood is shimmy’d off of her and Asuka.. Well.. She is in a world of hurt as she begins to start screaming in agony. The pain is written all over her face, Asuka trying to grab onto the ankle that is severely needing to be checked on.
[Corey Graves] That was uncalled for, and the referee is still unable to take action. Shayna completely shattered the ankle of Asuka for no reason. I don’t blame the security for not doing anything, this is a dangerous woman. She’s a world class mixed martial artist, she’s staked claim everywhere she’s made her presence known.
[Mauro Ranallo] Was this the plan all along, was this Alexa Bliss’s literal Ace in a Hole, with the Ace Of Spades Shayna Baszler in her back pocket.
[Mauro Ranallo] I knew Alexa was wicked but I didn’t think she would be able to pull something like this off.
Shayna hovers over Asuka and then points to her chest, mouthing off a few inaudible words to The Empress. Instantly taking control of her arm as she’s trying to sit up using it. She curves her hand inward and reinforces the elbow to bend up.
[Mauro Ranallo] Don’t do it Shayna, don’t do it!
[Corey Graves] There’s no use in plea’ing with someone who has a trail of bodies in her past, broken bones included on all of those bodies. Her fate was sealed from the moment Shayna put the card in her path.
Shayna wastes no time to pop up into the air and drop down the bottom of her boot carelessly with force across the the wrist. This gets a shriek from Asuka and for her to open up her eyes and kick her legs up and down all over the mat clenching it. Instantly Shayna slides into position behind Asuka, and her legs wrapped tightly around the waistline in one fluid motion.
[Corey Graves] It’s not bad enough that you disable her entirely, now you’re taking her moves too. Is.. that.. An ASUKA LOCK!?
Bliss is still unaware as Asuka is writhing out in pain, having the ugliest face you can imagine whilst being choked out in and in shock. Shayna jolts the tight lock around her throat, flexing her arms and grits her teeth, showing a mouth guard! “GO TO SLEEP!” They roll around like Asuka has never fought before, for survival.
Shayna still synches it in and you can’t see anything else except her fading instantly. The sleeper hold becomes more damaging as she wrestles with the positioning, twisting and bending any part of Asuka to create more pain. That’s the name of the game, pain and Asuka has a second wind. The Dark Empress is shown and starts headbutting the face of Baszler repeatedly, the grip becomes loosened. Shayna yells at Asuka “YOU WANT TO HIT ME BITCH?!”
Baszler kicks Asuka’s back with full force, enough to have Asuka’s kidney ruptured and it sends her to the middle of the ring, as Shayna grabs the ace of spades off the canvas, and as Asuka lies there she shoves the card in her mouth before slipping out without a trace. She looks happy at the carnage as she wipes her face and hops the barricade, looking on from a safe distance. The crowd with a mixed reaction and all she can taste is supremacy from putting Asuka out.
A bow from Shayna doing her signature spade pose, as she waves goodbye to Asuka. The security team surrounds the barricade to make sure she doesn’t add to the damage already dealt. Asuka is zoomed in on with her face in the mat, Bliss is slowly coming to her senses and connecting the dots of what just happened.
[Mauro Ranallo] I cannot believe what we just witnessed, Asuka is out cold and Bliss can take advantage. Thanks to Shayna Baszler making herself known, that was mayhem at it’s rawest form.
[Corey Graves] I can’t say Asuka didn’t deserve it, she played with fire and now she’s burnt out.
The audience is rabid at this point, furious at the realization of what this scene that has unfolded truly means. Alexa is sitting there against the ropes, looking around with a puzzled expression as she sees Asuka still down from when the two were launched off the top rope into the official. She starts to lean forward, noticing the official is coming to himself, and she extends her index finger poking Asuka in the arm, perhaps thinking that she's playing possum? And that's when The Empress suddenly coughs out the ace of spades and it falls on the mat, mixed with a little bit of blood, and this only furthers her confusion. Where did that card come from? She sits there on her knees, looking around, hearing all the boos, trying to come to terms with what happened, clearly something happened...but because she was down she's almost clueless as to what that something was. She knows that if the referee sees that card, he may inquire to find out where it came from himself, and if someone was in this ring while they were down...he could rule in a disqualification victory for Asuka. Which would force Alexa to have to kiss Asuka's boot, and that's not something she has any desire to do. So she grabs the card off the mat grossed out by the blood stain on it, stares at it still wondering what happened, but notices the referee is almost up so she shakes her head and tosses it out of the ring.
[Mauro Ranallo] She just disposed of the evidence!
[Corey Graves] I'm not entirely convinced Alexa even knows where that card came from...she looks quite confused by the circumstances.
[Mauro Ranallo] Why get rid of the card then, Corey?
[Corey Graves] Because she already lost via disqualification 3 weeks ago in her Bliss-Mission Challenge because of outside interference...if that referee sees that someone intervened whether Alexa had any prior knowledge of it or not, she'll lose this match when she did NOTHING wrong!
[Mauro Ranallo] But Asuka was nearly just choked out, and kicked so hard in her ribs that she just coughed up blood. You're telling me that it's fair for this match to continue?
[Corey Graves] I mean, maybe if she didn't interfere in Alexa's last Submission Match karma wouldn't have reared it's head in the form of Shayna Baszler.
The boos are deafening, because now not only was Asuka assaulted while the referee was down, but Alexa Bliss...the bully that heading into this match was about to get what she had coming to her once and for all...just hid the evidence of what went down, and for the first time this evening...suddenly we're not so convinced that the sheep is headed to the slaughterhouse after all. Little Miss Bliss sees that Asuka is foggy, barely conscious, maybe a fan threw that card in the ring? Maybe it landed in Asuka's mouth as she was knocked out from their spill off the top rope? Maybe the reason Asuka is down and in such a dire state isn't because of outside interference after all? She seems to convince herself of this idea, casting aside any worry and regaining her "game" face. Without wasting any more valuable time, Alexa suddenly latches onto Asuka, applying a mere headlock, it's not even a complete sleeper, it's sloppily executed, it's not at all a convincing submission that on any day would lead to someone losing a Submission Match. But, when you're hanging on by only a thread like Asuka currently is...even something as tragically awful as this sleeper/headlock combination is enough to slice through the thin line between conscious and unconscious. She jerks Asuka around, trying to wrench the pressure, and for a second this movement makes us think that Asuka's fighting...but as her arms suddenly fall like dead weight, and her chin hangs low as the loosely described "submission" comes into the referee's view as he regains awareness of his surroundings. He sees Asuka "struggling" at first glance, but as he leans in closer, he realizes that's not Asuka struggling at all, she's out. With a quick grab of her hand, he raises her arm, and immediately it falls back down without any sense of life left in the owner of it, and he calls for the bell.
[Corey Graves] ALEXA BLISS HAS JUST DEFEATED ASUKA VIA SUBMISSION!
[Mauro Ranallo] I'd lower your enthusiasm given we're one of the ones that actually know what just transpired.
[Corey Graves] Forget that, I'm going to shout it to the rooftops, Alexa Bliss just expertly applied a HEADLOCK, and it was enough to make The Empress go night night. If that isn't impressive then you all have impossible standards.
[Mauro Ranallo] Are you seriously going to act like Shayna Baszler didn't leave Asuka with only a single breath left in her? That is why a "headlock' or a "sleeper" was enough, because she was already almost passed out from that unprovoked assault that has ruined this entire match.
As The Wicked Witch's theme sounds, the boos just continue to grow, beyond upset over how this match has ended, the fact that the "finale" of this story of bullying, sees the bully victorious...and the victim of that bullying robbed of the victory due to outside involvement from someone we never could've expected to see tonight, now is going to be forced to kiss Alexa's boot. Alexa rises with a huge smile across her face, throwing her arm up as she looks at the referee who seems concerned for Asuka's well being. He turns to check on her, but Alexa grabs him by his wrist and shouts "RAISE MY HAND!" He rolls his eyes grabbing her wrist and doing as she asks, but seconds later when he lowers it, she repeats herself screaming again "I DIDN'T SAY YOU COULD LOWER IT, RAISE IT AGAIN!" You can tell he's annoyed by her antics, as are the fans, but then again they're annoyed in general over this entire thing. But he does as he's "asked" more so demanded really, and raises her arm to a sea of boos. He stands there waiting for her to be satisfied, where finally she pulls her arm away from him and starts to beckon for a mic.
[Mauro Ranallo] Ugh, this just...this isn't right.
[Corey Graves] If this is wrong then I don't wanna be right, Alexa Bliss has been terrorized by Asuka ever since she bravely stood up for her idol Trish Stratus after Asuka knocked her out due to a vicious assault under the umbrella of a "match."
[Mauro Ranallo] Please, don't...just don't. Don't insult their intelligence, don't insult mine, Alexa started this at Emergence when she attacked Asuka, hit her about two dozen times with her "Bliss Stick" and then curb stomped her face into said Bliss Stick. That is the actions of a "hero" that is the actions of a woman that is truly wicked, and that is not a compliment.
Alexa grows impatient as she shouts again and again for a mic, to the point that when one is passed between the ropes she snatches it out of their hand then looks at Asuka with a very sinister smile.
[Alexa Bliss] Cut my music please, there is a time to celebrate, and celebrate I will...because I have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that BULLIES NEVER WIN!
Even while winded over just competing, she manages to let those beyond arrogant words echo out of her, and with the music no longer playing...the boos drastically become louder.
[Alexa Bliss] Uh, excuse me? I SAID BULLIES NEVER WIN! You don't boo that, you cheer that, THAT IS A GOOD THING! So if you all will please look under your seats, pull out that crow, and FEAST UPON IT AS YOUR EYES FEAST UPON ME, STANDING HERE VICTORIOUS AFTER ALL OF YOU TOLD ME I COULDN'T!
"Surprisingly" shouting for people to stop booing has the opposite effect, especially when you then start to rub your victory in their faces, granted she isn't aware of the outside involvement entirely, so maybe she gets a pass for that but all anyone knows is that it happened. Whether she knew of what happened doesn't change the fact that Asuka was screwed here tonight.
[Alexa Bliss] Does it taste good? Does it taste like suddenly you're all seeing the world in a whole new way? That your belief has returned, that your doubt has fled from embarrassment, and you now realize you were WRONG! Wrong to second hand bully me, wrong to support a bully, wrong to chant that she was going to kill me, as if that's EVER an appropriate thing to chant, especially in the presence of children. What I have done here is give them hope, see when they go to school tomorrow, and that bully tries to take their lunch money? They're going to remember what their idol Alexa Bliss did, how she defied the odds, how she STOOD UP to her bully, the mean "Empress" was forever humbled when she had to pucker up, and KISS THE BOOT OF THE WOMAN THAT SHE HAS TERRORIZED FOR BETTER PART OF THIS YEAR!
The jeers, the groaning, the angst coming from the fans does not subside in the least bit. Alexa is acting as if she's just put her "bully" in her place, when reality we're seeing another case of a bully NOT getting what they deserved. She's not lying on the mat coughing up blood, about to kiss the boot of the Woman she has tormented...she's standing tall, the only way she'll ever be tall compared to anyone, over the victim of the real bullying, the victim that is the one coughing up blood, almost unaware of what's even going on.
[Alexa Bliss] As I was initially going to say, there's a time to celebrate and it is very near...but, as all knew heading into this match, the loser would not only face the shame of GIVING UP. They would face the consequences in the form of one of three options. I brilliantly came up with a trio of amazing stakes for all of you to vote on, and while you all clearly voted through your blind belief that I would be the one suffering those consequences...I'm afraid I won't be kissing anyone's boot tonight...no, that is for our dearly beloved "Empress" that's going to feel every bit of the fury I just unleashed upon her tomorrow...and if you ask me I'd say a dose of humility is just what the doctor ordered. So without further ado, I present YOUR MOMENT OF BLISS! Watch and be inspired, as my bully...must now kiss my boot!
[Mauro Ranallo] Do we have to watch this?
[Corey Graves] Excuse you, Mauro...The XWL Universe has been voting for a month to let their voices be heard, and we are not going to let that vote be meaningless. They wanted the loser to kiss the winner's boot, and that is what they will get.
[Mauro Ranallo] I'm pretty sure they wanted Alexa to kiss Asuka's boot.
[Corey Graves] Well that's what they get for making an ass out of themselves by assuming WRONG. I don't take pleasure in what's about to happen, but it's evident The XWL Universe was foaming at the mouth over the idea that Alexa was going to be submitted in front of the entire world and then suffer the evil consequences they decided.
Alexa very dramatically walks over to Asuka who is still nowhere near able to even tell what's going on. Once she's in place, Alexa instructs the referee to remind Asuka that the loser must kiss the winner's boot, and now she the winner, is waiting. At first upon the referee instructing her, Asuka shakes her head, foggy but aware enough to know she has no desire to do that. But as he repeats it, this time a bit more stern, it's not an option...he's not asking her to, he's telling her that they both agreed to the stipulations, that the loser would potentially deal with. If she doesn't do it there's surely to be consequences, so Asuka kneels there for a minute very angry, like the look she has right now as she glares at Alexa would kill her if looks COULD kill. And we're still not entire convinced that this look doesn't have the power to result in an untimely death for Little Miss Bliss. But, despite the fans shouting for her not do it, rooting on her defiance, she knows she doesn't have a choice. She just needs to do it and get it over with, one peck and it's done. So, with her eyes closing, she starts to kneel down, leaning toward Alexa's foot. However, just as she's about to humiliate herself in front of the entire world, The Wicked Witch appears to soften, shouting "WAIT!" with an almost regret filled tone?
[Mauro Ranallo] Is it possible? Is she, feeling remorse?
[Corey Graves] It's definitely odd...maybe she feels compelled to show the empathy Asuka hasn't ever shown to anyone, especially her?
Alexa shakes her head, is she...really having a change of heart? I mean, the timing is certainly strange, but...could she at last be feeling empathy for the first time in her life?
[Alexa Bliss] I'm sorry, I can't...I can't go through with this, this isn't right, it's wrong. What am I doing? Asuka please, stop I can't let you do this.
Asuka pauses, also thrown by her suddenly stopping what was about to be the most embarrassing moment of her career by far.
[Alexa Bliss] The people in the nose bleeds can't see, can I get a chair please? If we're going to do this, we need to do it right. And with this teaching moment for all the youth in attendance, and the forgone adults who thankfully haven't reproduced yet...it's crucial everyone sees this with their own eyes, so please a chair so I may prop my foot up on display for the ENTIRE world to witness this moment.
Who were we kidding? Empathy? She wasn't suddenly remorseful, the only inch of regret in her was the idea that not everyone would be able to see Asuka kiss her boot. The boos continue, Asuka's anger grows, but Alexa's demand is met. A chair is passed through the ropes to the referee to sits it up and and Alexa pleased with the height it will bring to this "Moment of Bliss" lifts her foot up off of the mat, and sets it firmly on the seat of the chair.
[Alexa Bliss] There we go, MUCH better. You may continue.
Alexa looks down into Asuka's eyes with the biggest grin we've probably ever seen from her. Asuka however is nowhere near smiling, she's just trying to get through this, to erase any memory of it once it occurs. Finally, with Alexa directing traffic and pointing at her boot, motioning for Asuka to where her kiss is meant to be directed...Asuka leans closer and closer...closing her eyes and swallowing her pride as her lips meet Alexa's boot, and within mere seconds she pulls away disgusted by what she was made to do. So disgusted that as Alexa laughter of enjoyment echoes through her ears she shoves Alexa's foot away from her, having completed her punishment.
Alexa nearly stumbles as her foot is shoved off the chair, and her laughter ceases, as a coldness returns to her eyes. Asuka starts to try and pull herself up off the mat using the chair...but her act of "rudeness" has serious consequences. As many of us unfortunately began to expect the moment it happened...Alexa takes a step back, glaring at Asuka before rushing back at her, jumping up, and bringing the bottom of her boot crashing down into Asuka's skull as she's CURB STOMPED into the chair!
[Mauro Ranallo] OH COME ON!!
[Corey Graves] That is what happens when you go off script. She was to kiss Alexa's boot, not shove it away after she was done, how dare she. Clearly Asuka's still in dire needs of humility. You'd think having to kiss the boot of the Woman that's beaten her by pin fall on the grandest stage, and now beaten her by Submission would have quelled this bad behavior but looks like there's no changing certain people.
[Mauro Ranallo] I am utterly speechless at the fact that you can sit here and try to justify everything Alexa has done.
To even try to describe the boos right now is just nowhere near close to doing it justice. Alexa is living up to her moniker as The "Wicked Witch of XWL" and as Asuka lies there on the now flattened chair, Alexa could take this as her exit, but instead...she grabs the mic off the mat that fell moments ago, and looks at the unconscious Asuka.
[Alexa Bliss] You know, I don't think tonight has truly sunk into her head. She's got the nerve to put her hands on me? Really? No, this isn't over. I think she needs a serious reality check. She needs to see how you, her accomplices in this bullying of hers, were the ones that put her where she is in this moment right now. Every other match had the breakdown of the votes, but conveniently before Asuka came out there suddenly were "technical issues." In fact, I wouldn't put it past her to be the one that caused those issues, because...for all we know...maybe there's MORE to this vote than meets the eye. MAYBE, Asuka tried to pull the wool over your eyes and mine just as she has every other time. She's a bully, a liar, and a manipulator that made all of you her unwilling accomplices in the terror she inflicted upon me. Actually, I'm starting to think she just kissed my boot for nothing. I'm beginning to believe that what actually won, was that she would have to ONCE AND FOR ALL ADMIT IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE WORLD THAT SHE IS A BULLY!
She can't seriously be real? Asuka manipulated the people in the truck to withhold the voting information, to cause the technical issues because she suddenly wasn't okay with the potential consequences? Can Alexa just please stop. this is ridiculous.
[Alexa Bliss] You're right, this is a moment that deserves your boos. Clearly she bullied someone into withholding the results in their full form, and tried to get away with robbing you of your right to decide what happened to whoever lost this match. Something's fishy, and that is why I demand to see the results RIGHT NOW. We deserve to know if she tried to tamper with the information, simply because she didn't want to have to admit once and for all that she IS a bully. Well Asuka, you can't hear me right now because I just stomped your face into that chair, but you're about to have a rude awakening because I'm not falling for this "technical issue" I know the results are available, so let's see them!
[Mauro Ranallo] Is she for real? Now Asuka's suddenly intimidating officials backstage to not reveal the voting results? It was just a technical issue, it's been resolved, this isn't some cover up, and I sincerely doubt Alexa's claims have any shred of validity.
[Corey Graves] I mean clearly she thinks otherwise.
[Mauro Ranallo] We can pull up the results, it's not going to change anything.
This is just a never ending annoyance isn't it? We thought Alexa would leave after Asuka was forced to kiss her boot, but now...suddenly she thinks there's more to the vote? Everyone is rolling their eyes, booing, shouting for her to leave so the show can continue, but as her arms cross, showing she's not leaving until the results are put up...finally the tron lights up showing the voting options for their match, and within seconds the percentages appear.
A. The Loser must profess to the entire world they ARE a bully. 24%
B. The Loser will be forced to kiss the boot of The Winner. 38%
C. The Loser leaves XWL. 38%
The moment the results in their full form appear, audible gasps follow, from the audience, from Corey and Mauro...and an over dramatic gasp echoes from Alexa. There WAS more to the results...while the loser kissing the boot of the winner had 38 percent of the vote...THE LOSER LEAVES XWL ALSO HAD 38 percent of the vote.
[Mauro Ranallo] No...this can't be right.
[Corey Graves] Looks like she wasn't so crazy after all, Mauro. There was something that was overlooked, it was a TIE!
[Mauro Ranallo] But this means...
[Corey Graves] How's the song go again? Na na na na...
[Mauro Ranallo] Stop it!
The mood completely deflates, they no longer are booing, they're absolutely stunned by the turn of events, and the fact that Alexa was right...there was more...and they weren't ready to see what that "more" was. Asuka as the loser, because of an unforeseen assault by Shayna Baszler...not only had to kiss Alexa's boot, but now...she has to leave XWL.
[Alexa Bliss] Nice try Asuka, looks like this isn't the only boot you're getting tonight. Good riddance, bitch.
With such a calm delivery, so callous and cold she drops her mic and exits the ring, as the entire XWL Universe sits in their seats, baffled by what happened tonight. This isn't at all how they saw things going, and while some members of the audience get over their shock to boo Alexa's final words for her rival that she painted out to be this big bully for the better part of this year...the majority are just sitting in silence in disbelief that, this is reality. Asuka is forced to leave XWL, Alexa won...THE BULLY WON. IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD, SHE WON, and now she's going to parade around here as if she's this beacon of an example for the kids at home. It's truly a low point of this evening. This wasn't the result anyone wanted nor expected. This is the worst case scenario coming true, and we know we'll never hear the end of this. How the valiant advocate against bullying got rid of the "evil" bully and restored all hope and humanity, when if anything it's done the opposite. Alexa casually walks up the ramp, not turning back even slightly. In her mind, she's wasted enough of her time on Asuka, she's looking forward, to the future that now Asuka won't be apart of. The Empress of Tomorrow...will not be here tomorrow. The scene fades out as referees prepare to break the news to Asuka when she comes to.

The scene opens up with The Undisputed Era as a collective, coming into an interview setting and they are chatting away to one another, the audio barely picks it up. They are adjusting their blazers/suit jackets and each take a seat. They lounge in the chairs, surrounding Renee Young who’s conducting the interview. Pete Dunne leans over and twiddles his fingers, then presses his fingertips on each hand against one another.
Every other member is too acting more serious, no jokes no games.. This is them as raw as they can be, not even a smile on their face, not one smirk. Renee shuffles her papers and then Pete raises his hand to put a stop to her, almost predicting her question.
THE BRUISERWEIGHT’ Pete Dunne You don’t fully appreciate the power of the throne, until it’s ripped away from you. There is influence, and there is delusion. The current champions that ride high on their accomplishments are a part of that same delusional outlook. We are the rulers of our own destiny, the rulers of XWL because we take what we want, when we want. This thing, it didn’t come easy… we all have our own personal goals. Much like when I take the title away from cry baby Drake later this evening, but if i’m not voted in.. I won’t blame them because I am a violent competitor, with intentions not for the faint of heart.
Pete fixes himself, and unbuttons his blazer to lay his arms over the back of his chair.
THE BRUISERWEIGHT’ Pete Dunne Our own personal goals still come together, because we know what it takes to be successful. That same hard work and dedication, the right state of mind.. It’s power and you cannot dispute that. No matter what happens here tonight, the odds are always in our favor. If we want to change the world by sending a shock through the system, through your eyes.. Everyone watching at home. We will do that, and there’s nothing that’s stopping us besides our own imagination.
He runs his hands through his hair and has a tongue in cheek look upon his face. Renee has an inquisitive look herself, and she lets him continue his monologue.
THE BRUISERWEIGHT’ Pete Dunne CyberSlam is not another pay per view to us, tonight is when we are together as one under the same banner. We requested this time because we have something to say, a message to be sent.. And what better place than right here, right here.. Tonight. Roddy, weigh in on this because i’ve said everything that’s needed to be said. What is the Undisputed Era to you, personally?
Roderick sits back in his chair his left leg laying over the top of his right knee horizontally looks at the time on his watch on his left wrist, and then looks over at Renee.
Roderick Strong The Undisputed Era to me is a brother hood of amazingly talented athletes, a band of men who stick together for one another, who helps when help is needed, who isn’t afraid to answer the call when one is not able to, we are some of the best around and we prove it every time we step in that ring.
Renee Young In regards tonight, both you and Pete Dunne are in the voting amongst the likes of Kenny Omega, Finn Balor, James Storm, and JBL’s hand-picked opponent in Drew McIntyre, what’s the attitude like between you and Pete Dunne knowing it could be either one of you who get that vote.
Roderick Strong What happens, happens Renee, were not here to meddle over the little things like a vote not going our way when we already know it’s going to, you have two of the best athletes in this business in the room right now who are options for the Intercontinental Championship match, whether it be Pete or Myself that title is coming home to the Undisputed Era tonight.
Kyle O'Reilly who has been quiet up until now interjects raising his one finger.
Kyle O'Reilly The first of many! It's a travesty it's taken this long but tonight is the night the Undisputed Era claims it's first piece of gold.
Renee Young Kyle O'Reilly, tonight your rivalry with Bray Wyatt finally reaches it's conclusion in what will surely be a dramatic, violent affair. Are you at all concerned by what Bray Wyatt will do to you, given the match choices and what everybody knows he is capable of?
O'Reilly pulls a comical disgusted face.
Kyle O'Reilly Pffft. Renee, I thought you were a great interviewer right up until about five seconds ago. What kind of a question is that? No, don't answer that. Am I concerned by Bray Wyatt? Nope. I never have been and I never will be. I'm just glad that tonight I'm able to write the final chapter in this little rivalry where I finally dispose of Bray once and for all.
O'Reilly's eyes are now filled with a fire of determination as he gazes into the face of Renee Young.
Kyle O'Reilly I don't care if it's a Falls Count Anywhere match... I'll beat the hell out of Bray all around the arena, outside in the parking lot, onto the streets of Brooklyn and beyond. If it's a No Holds Barred match, that means there's no rules. I can use whatever I want and do whatever I want to exorcise Bray from XWL. It just makes my job a little easier.
A sinister look crosses the face of O'Reilly.
Kyle O'Reilly And my personal favourite of the three options - I really hope it's this one Renee - is a Flaming Tables match. What better way to finish the job than to burn Bray Wyatt alive?
O'Reilly suddenly inexplicably breaks into a grin.
Kyle O'Reilly I mean, there's nothing better than an Undisputed Era BBQ am I right guys?
O'Reilly looks around to his brothers for a show of approval, they each nod, laugh and several joke amongst themselves as O'Reilly chuckles away.
Bobby Fish Renee, Kyle has no reason to be concerned. You might want talk about what Bray Wyatt is capable..but lets talk about what THIS man is capable of. You haven't seen this man when he's angry! He's one of the toughest guys in this entire company, Bray Wyatt should be the one concerned. Besides, I can't wait for this to all be over. Once Kyle has his hand raised tonight...He can move on, WE can move on. It seems obvious to me that the Tag Division needs something different already, it seems it needs a real tag team to take OVER.
Bobby Fish The Undisputed Era has taken over XWL since day one, and now I'm here...It's no different. Tonight will be the Undisputed Era's night...But this is only the beginning for me and Kyle. I get to take it pretty easy tonight, I get to sit back relax and watch these guys do what they do best, but after tonight...It doesn't matter who has the Tag Titles, Me and Kyle are coming for them titles. We've won tag titles all over the world, and XWL is going to be same story. Tonight, the Intercontinental Championship comes to Undisputed Era, and trust me Renee..It isn't going to finish there.
The camera focuses on Leo Kruger who stands by running his hands through his hair with a creepy smile on his face.
Renee Young Uhhhh... Leo tonight is something big for you. Tonight you get to face the man who is the longest reigning champion of XWL. When he presented the award of Champion of The Year to you. You made it very apparent you do not like him. Upon his return in The Final Stand-Off he eliminated you, but went on to lose in the end. This rivalry between you two has blown up. What do you have to say going into your fight with Shawn Michaels tonight?
Leo Kruger Shawn Michaels.. tonight shall be no matter the choice that the XWL universe voted for. I will turn him into a beaten, bloody, battered mess that even his own wife won't recognize him. He maybe the longest reigning champion of XWL, but that was then. This is now. The past does not matter. I've said before Shawn, but the superstars of today are of a higher breed then the ones of the past Shawn. You will drown just trying to keep your head above water. You will not thrive in this time period with me lurking, and watching your every move. You asked for all of this. You wanted my attention, and now you have it. You have been running away from me, and attacking me from behind thinking it would give you some type of edge going into tonight.
Kruger laughs to himself as he finds that mere thought is quite pathetic.
Leo Kruger Well let me put those thoughts to rest for you Shawn. I am one hundred percent going into tonight. You don't stand a chance. I am going to give you the biggest fight of your life, and prove exactly why I am better than you.
As every member of The Undisputed Era smile at Kruger's final words, Renee now looks to the only member left to be interviewed regarding tonight, Matt Sydal.
Renee Young Lastly, tonight you Matt will be going one on one with Roman Reigns in a rematch of your encounter on the night The Big Dog re-
Matt interjects almost immediately, seemingly amused by something.
Matt Sydal Let me stop you there, he can call himself "THE BIG DOG" but when "THE GUY" stands in that ring with me tonight? He's nothing more than a little bitch that is going to find out what COUNTLESS men have discovered after picking a fight with yours truly. You can have all the confidence in the world, but it means nothing if you can't back it up. A problem I've never had, because time and time again I am belittled by someone "bigger" than me. I am underestimated because apparently I don't "look" a certain way. Well, with me...looks are VERY deceiving. Sooner or later everyone has to find out the hard way, and tonight..it's Roman's turn to be made an example of.
Renee Young To that point, the last time you went one on one, he did beat you. What is going to be different about tonight?
Matt Sydal Let's clear things up right now, what he did 3 weeks ago? Was get LUCKY. He hit the jackpot when he was able to keep me down for a count of three. What can I say? We all have off nights, and you know I'm not that upset about losing it happens. What pissed me off, was when he patted my head when I showed him respect and offered him my hand. See, that was his mistake. You don't beat Matt Sydal twice, it doesn't happen, so when you give me reason to face you again? You suffer the consequences, and those are simple. You lose, and I win. I prove your victory for what it was, a fluke. And I step over you in my path to becoming The Golden One again. What is DIFFERENT tonight, is myself and Kyle O'Reilly beat him and Bray Wyatt in tag-team action last week...and just as I put him down then, I will do it again tonight. Whether that's in a Tables Match, or I have to do it twice, OR...I have 30 minutes to wrestle circles around him...quite honestly doesn't matter. I'm going to beat him, and after I do? I challenge our "unbiased" General Manager to try and deny me a Championship opportunity again. Because as my brothers have said, we're on the quest for gold, and we want ALL of it. So consider this fair warning to you Eli, Rusev, Alpha Club, and Dean? Prepare to have your systems shocked, your titles taken.
With that very direct and clear final remark, Pete Dunne, Roderick Strong, Kyle O'Reilly, Bobby Fish, Leo Kruger, and Matt Sydal all throw their hands up in their trademark "U E" hand gesture, and stare right into the camera to show how determined they are to prove that their words are not just hopes, they are undisputed truths that soon will become reality. The scene closes out, as we now see if they can claim this night as their own.

Dean Ambrose walks into the scene bringing cheers from the crowd. His face is determined and non friendly as he stares at the camera. His eyes full of murder he waits until he is approached by none other than Renee Young. Dean acknowledges her with a nod as she gets right to business and fires off her first question
[Renee Young] Dean, the world wants to know how you're feeling going into this triple threat with Johnny Gargano and Chris Jericho?
Dean waste zero time answering
[Dean Ambrose] I'm ready to bring an end to this. These two want the title I carry over my shoulder oh so bad. The Undisputed Era want my title so bad. Everyone wants the title so bad and they'll talk and talk about how they're gonna do this or do that and what happens? I put them down and they're staring up at the lights. Chris Jericho is a weasel and think that he's good enough to wrestle two matches and win them on the same night but he isn't. Everyone wants to keep bringing up his past accomplishments but I'm not living in the past. The reality is every time Chris and I go at each other he winds up the loser. EVERY. TIME. This isn't a rivalry. This is just me making Jericho my bitch for the world to watch
Dean's harsh words bring a pop from the crowd
[Dean Ambrose] He's gonna lose his tag titles tonight. And he's gonna lose this match too. And when he's driving home with nothing I'm gonna laugh at his misery because Chris Jericho means nothing to me. I couldn't care less about his existence in this company. Try all you want, come at me full force and you're still gonna lose because as good and tricky as you might be, I'll always be better. Wants to bring up how we didn't main event Final Stand but wants to ignore that I pinned BOTH him and Sami Zayn in that match while pinning them both a few weeks before. If there is an alpha in XWL you're staring at him Renee cause it sure as hell isn't Jericho. Moving on to something more interesting...
Dean rubs his beard as his thoughts drift to the other competitor in the match
[Dean Ambrose] We've all watched the metamorphosis of Johnny Gargano. He's become more focus. More aggressive. He doesn't care what anyone think. That's are good traits. I have those traits. The difference is that is really how I am. That's not Johnny. He is putting too much pressure on himself and his obsession is gonna lead to him losing. I don't dislike Johnny. Far from it actually and I've been hearing people saying that Chris and I have been making his life a living hell? Yeah, naw, that's not true. Let me remind you who it was that got Johnny that match against Chris Jericho. That was me. Who was it who helped him when that match when Alpha Club got involved? Me. Again. I've had his back because it was the right thing to do. And I was rewarded with a super kick to the face. Johnny wants to play the victim and underdog card but lets all remembered who fired the first shot! Let's all remember who is disrespecting who first. Johnny talks like Chris and I have no chance to stop him tonight but I promise he's wrong
Dean's grip on his title increases as he talks more, his tone getting less civil and angrier as he goes
[Dean Ambrose] Unless divine intervention is gonna happen and Jesus fucking Christ is gonna get in that ring and smite me this World Heavyweight Championship isn't going anywhere! He wants to spout about being champion like it's meant for him but he forgot that I'm still breathing. So before you race to the end of that finish line remember that the devil on your back is gonna be dragging you backwards. I'm the devil on his back. I'm the devil on Jericho's back. I'm the devil on every superstar's back in that locker room that wants to become World Heavyweight Champion!
Dean's passionate/angered speech takes Renee and the crowd back a little as Dean breathes heavily while staring into the camera
[Renee Young] You're fired up Dean. Is there a final message you'd like to leave for Johnny or Chris or even the locker room
[Dean Ambrose] Watch what I do tonight. I'm gonna retain my title. And when I do I want you all to come after me. Come to take my title so I can't break your hopes like I'm gonna do to these to tonight,. Don't talk about what you're gonna do to me. Don't talk about how you're gonna take my title. Just do it! Do it if you think you're good enough because until you do I'm gonna trash every superstar in the back. I have no more friends, so I guess that makes you all my enemies. It's XWL vs Dean Ambrose now Renee, and XWL is gonna need all the help that it can get
Dean holds his title close to the camera before snarling and suddenly walking off. Renee looks concerned at the attitude of her boyfriend but there's nothing she can do. Renee downcast expression ends the interview

[Mauro Ranallo] Those two really left it all in the ring tonight. What an awesome display of wrestling we witnessed tonight
[Corey Graves] I gotta agree. Surprised to see Seth come put with the win tonight honestly but was still awesome to see this match
Seth's hand is raised high into the air as the crowd sends him their admiration. Seth smiles big as Andrade is helped out of the ring by Zelina. Seth briefly shares eye contact with those two before going back to celebrating with the crowd
[Mauro Ranallo] This was a battle of ego that clashed here tonight. I wonder if either man earned the other's respect here tonight?
[Corey Graves] I guess we'll have to find out on the next Anarchy
Seth's smiling face brings this match to a close

RUSEV UDRYA!
RUSEV MACHKA!
The theme of the World Television Champion begins to play throughout the arena, a negative reaction filling the air after what transpired earlier in the evening when both the Champion in question and Mr. Money in the Bank in Aiden English decided to take matters into their own hands when they systematically assaulted Jeff Hardy. The men in question emerge from behind the curtain, Aiden having the briefcase in his possession while the Bulgarian Brute is wielding the flag of his people in one hand while having the World Television Championship proudly displayed around his waist. Rusev wildly swings the Flag left and right for a few moments, planting it back at his side before the duo begin making their descent down the entrance ramp, this match being taken from a objectively even contest to an uphill battle for the Broken One. Upon reaching the bottom of the ramp, Aiden slides into the ring with ease while Rusev opts to take the scenic route, planting the Bulgarian Flag at the conveniently placed holder at the bottom of the steel ring steps before he ascends up onto the apron and enters the ring. The unlikely pair begin to pace back and forth, awaiting the arrival of Rusev's opponent for the evening in Matt Hardy.
The sound of glass shattering echoes through the arena
The fans erupt within the arena as "Broken" Matt Hardy walks out onto the stage as piano begins to play.
[COREY GRAVES] There he is ladies, and gentlemen! His long awaited return! WELCOME BACK TO XWL "BROKEN" MATT HARDY!!!
[MAURO RANALLO] I can't believe this man is able to stand after what happened to him.
[COREY GRAVES] You heard him Ranallo. He was healed by the power of The Seven Deities!
He stops at the top of the ramp with his arms extended.
I WILL DELETE YOUUUUUUUUUUAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAOOOOOOOOOOOOOAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
As soon the word DELETE echoes through the arena "Broken" Matt Hardy closes his mouth, and a look of pure confidence oozes off of him. He drops his arms, and begins doing his trade mark DELETE taunt as the titaintron as the stage is now covered in the word. The XWL fans in unison being chanting DELETE.
[COREY GRAVES] WOW just listen to that! These people missed "Broken" Matt Hardy.
"Broken' Matt eyes now focus on Rusev who currently stands in. A huge smile forms on the face of "Broken" Matt Hardy as he points at Rusev, and then yells.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] RU SEV! I SENTENCE YOU TO DELETIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!
"Broken" Matt Hardy now stands infront of the ring, and he grabs onto second set of ropes then climbs onto the apron. He steps between the ropes, and his eyes are still locked upon Rusev. He goes to the middle of the ring with his arms extended.
["Broken" Matt Hardy] BROKEN WARRIORS FEED ME YOUR ENERGY!!!!
He lowers his arms, and begins unbuttoning his jacket as he backs up into his corner. He takes his jacket off, and places it in position of the ref. He now awaits for the bell to ring.
Rusev was suddenly in control of this match and now his attention is elsewhere. That weird laugh echoes throughout the arena and then this theme begins to play which we have never once heard before in an XWL arena. The confidence suddenly wiped away from the Bulgarian and the two people he brought with him towards the ringside area since this clearly didn't seem to be a trick they had up their sleeves. The word 'WILLOW' flashes on the titantron over what looks to be a wooded area but that doesn't really give Rusev the answers he wants. The Television Champion still has no idea what's going on.
[MAURO RANALLO] Do you have any idea what's going on!? I can barely see.
[COREY GRAVES] Why would I have any idea? Don't ask stupid questions!
Even the commentary team seems to have little to no idea about what has suddenly happened in the arena... and then suddenly, the cameras notice that a figure would appear at the very top of the stage.
[COREY GRAVES] Who is this idiot and... why the heck is he carrying an umbrella?
The umbrella is twirled in the man's hands in a way to hide his identity... but when he lifts the umbrella up and he holds it over his shoulder, we get a glimpse at who this unknown man is.
He wears a mask of some kind - dressed in black and white from head to toe. You cannot see his skin besides a little bit of his hands and his mouth is shown through the mask but facepaint covers his skin so it's hard to get a better idea on who the man is. If he is someone we know of or if he is not. The Bulgarian shouts from the ring at the man because everything was going according to plan until this person decided to interfere. The attack on Jeff Hardy was a success and the Enforcer game was once again being taken advantage of. This was going to be an easy win... until now. Aiden English tries to come around the ring to confront this man but his umbrella is suddenly dropped and he comes rushing at Mister Money in the Bank which causes him to flee. Willow stays in chase though and manages to chase both Lana and Aiden English away from ringside which only seems to anger Rusev even more than he already was.
[MAURO RANALLO] The odds suddenly seem a lot more even! Aiden and Lana have hightailed it up the ramp!
The masked man paces around the ring and keeps his eyes locked with Rusev... until he meets the commentary table and he quickly turns to them and slams his hands on the table. The commentary team jumps slightly, but Corey Graves less than Mauro. He takes a good look at this man for a moment. His eyes squint and lock with the masked man... and then they got wide as he watches the figure aggressively pushes himself away from the table and turns his attention once again back to the Television Champion in the ring.
[COREY GRAVES] That's... That's Jeff Hardy under that mask! I can see it!
[MAURO RANALLO] What are you talking about, Corey? Jeff Hardy was vicioulsy attacked earlier.
[COREY GRAVES] It's the eyes! I can tell because of the eyes!
[MAURO RANALLO] Listen to me, Corey, because Jeff Hardy was attacked earlier by Aiden and Rusev and he was rushed off to the nearest medical center. Jeff Hardy is not in the building. There is no way that is Jeff Hardy under the mask.
In the ring, Rusev is heard shouting in what could only be his native tongue of Bulgarian, directed at the masked individual that took it upon himself to interject his presence into this contest. With the Bulgarian Champion's attention diverted from the slowly rising Matt Hardy, the Broken Superstar is able to make full use of the masterful distraction, making it up to his feet and inching closer towards the larger Superstar. Hardy wraps his arms around Rusev, shoving him forward into the ropes as a form of added momentum to roll him up in an O'Connor Roll. The referee, being in a perfect position to see this happen, quickly drops down to his knees and makes the count.
1...
2...
3!
The theme of the Broken One begins to play throughout the arena, a roar of cheers filling the ring, leaving the Bulgarian Brute on his knees in almost disbelief as Hardy, thinking multiple steps ahead, quickly rolls out of the ring to avoid falling to the same fate as his brother earlier in the evening, walking backwards up the ramp with his arm raised into the air. Still in a kneeling position in the ring, Rusev locks eyes with the being that cost him what seemed to be an all but foregone conclusion to this match after the removal of Jeff Hardy prior to it happening. Anger becomes rapidly etched on his face as the masked crusader simply picks up where he left off, throwing the umbrella over his shoulder, spinning it around as he makes his way around the ring and up the ramp, leaving Rusev to stew in his anger.

*The graphic above is shown on-screen.*
[Corey Graves] Oh I can't wait for this one Mauro! Who doesn't enjoy some legalized violence? Because that is what we're going to see right now. This is going to be brutal whatever match option is chosen!
[Mauro Ranallo] The rivalry between Bray Wyatt and Undisputed Era member Kyle O'Reilly has been going on for some time now. The hate between the two men has been well documented and each man has won a few of the battles. Tonight they have stated marks the final chapter and the end of the war. Only one man will prevail and each of the three match options available will allow them to inflict unthinkable punishment on the other. It's time to find out what rules, if any, this match will be contested under.
*As the scores are tallied up on-screen the crowd roars in approval as the results are revealed:*
A. Falls Count Anywhere: 14% B. No Holds Barred: 10% C. Flaming Table Match: 76%
[Corey Graves] A Flaming Tables Match! This is not going to be pretty...
*Almost as soon as the match is announced, the Undisputed Era music begins to play.*
*Kyle O'Reilly appears on the stage, wasting little time and wanting to get this match started as soon as possible. There's no poses or anything tonight. He's all business and begins his march towards the ring with little emotion on his face. He's completely focused on the destruction of his nemesis here tonight. The crowd gives him the customary mixed reaction that it seems all UE members receive.*
[Jojo] The following contest is a Flaming Tables Match where the only way to win is to put your opponent through a table that has been set on fire!
[Jojo] Making his way to the ring, representing the Undisputed Era... from Vancouver, British Columbia... KYLE O'REILLY!
*O'Reilly is now in the ring. He removes his Undisputed Era shirt and turns his attention towards the top of the ramp, still showing no emotion. He cricks his neck a few times as he awaits the arrival of The Eater Of Worlds.*
[Mauro Ranallo] O'Reilly wanted this match. Although how anyone could want a Flaming Tables match is beyond me.
[Corey Graves] O'Reilly wanted to dispose of Bray Wyatt, and putting your opponents body through a table and into some flames is definitely one way to go about that Mauro. But O'Reilly clearly hasn't thought about what will happen if he's on the receiving end. This could spell the end of his career.
*Bray Wyatt’s theme plays. The arena goes dark and the fans in attendance take out their cell phone lights as usual, but this time there’s a slight difference. Instead of walking out with a lantern, Wyatt instead walks out with a candle in his hand providing light.*
[Jojo] And his opponent, making his way to the ring... BRAY WYATT!
[Mauro Ranallo] After all these weeks of mind games, Wyatt vs. O’Reilly is finally about to take place. But of course, Wyatt can’t help but get in one last mind game, bringing out a candle here tonight akin to the one we saw two weeks ago when he said he would “extinguish O’Reilly’s flame”.
[Corey Graves] Well, Mauro, Wyatt’s always been one to toy with his opponents, we both know that. But lately, he seems to be far more aggressive than usual, essentially threatening to take away everything that O’Reilly cares about!
*As the commentators continue talking, Wyatt keeps making his way down to the ring at his own pace, eyes fixated on the candle at all times. When he finally makes his way down to the ring steps, he pauses on the steps and lifts the candle up, allowing the camera to get a good view of it for the first time. Due to this, we can see that there is a bloody Undisputed Era wristband placed around the candle.*
[Corey Graves] And the mind games continue as Bray Wyatt has put the bloody wristband he took when he assaulted Matt Sydal backstage two weeks ago on the candle, sending a message that he’s already begun his quest of destroying O’Reilly.
[Mauro Ranallo] A powerful message indeed, but didn’t Matt Sydal beat Bray Wyatt afterward?
[Corey Graves] So? Do you think Bray Wyatt cares? He still got his point across, O’Reilly had to watch his friend get viciously assaulted backstage and he couldn’t do anything to stop it.
*Wyatt laughs and makes his way into the ring, circling it a few times looking out to the crowd in attendance, before finally making his way into the center of the ring, taking a few steps backward, and blowing out the candle. As the lights come back on and the candle is nothing but a mound of smoldering ash and wax, Wyatt looks directly up and yells out the word “Extinguished”, before placing the candle in the corner of the corner in the ring and turning is gaze to O'Reilly, who appears to be unfazed by all of this, instead aiming an icy gaze at his opponent. Wyatt notices this and cackles as the bell sounds signalling the final chapter of this war has begin...*
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
*Wyatt turns his attention to the table propped up in the corner after spiking O'Reilly's head into the canvas with a Sister Abigail. He clearly has evil intentions as a sadistic look crosses his face.*
[Mauro Ranallo] This match has more than lived up to the hype with as much violence and as much brutality as you would expect given the hatred these two men have for one another.
[Corey Graves] I think Wyatt is about to take it to the next level Mauro. It looks as though he's going to that dark place.
*Wyatt has placed the table in the middle of the ring, close to the downed O'Reilly who is still suffering the effects of the beating he has taken throughout this match. Wyatt retrieves a lighter and a squirty bottle of gasoline from ringside and re-enters the ring.*
[Corey Graves] I guess this is a Flaming Tables match after all, but it doesn't make it any easier to watch this.
*As Wyatt douses the table and ignites it, he lets out his signature cackle and beams wildly as the glow of the flames eerily enhances his facial features. The crowd are watching on in almost silence, in an anxious anticipation of what is about to come.*
[Mauro Ranallo] Wyatt could be looking to end it right here Corey...
*The Eater Of Worlds approaches his arch rival but LOW BLOW! O'Reilly nails Wyatt down low and he doubles over in agony. O'Reilly quickly springs to his feet in a cat-like manner, hooks one of Wyatt's arms and quickly delivers a devastating brainbuster through the flaming table!*
[Mauro Ranallo] Mama mia! Brainbuster into the flames! The table exploded!
*As O'Reilly quickly moves away from the scene of the carnage into a corner for safety, the flames catch onto Wyatt and spread over his body. Luckily he's wearing his usual ring attire which covers most of his flesh, but nonetheless he rolls around in agony as the fire engulfs him. The fans watch on in horror as despite everything, that is still another human being in front of them being burned alive. O'Reilly watches on with no remorse as Wyatt continues to scream out in agony.*
[Mauro Ranallo] Can we get some help out here?!
*O'Reilly looks on with a satisfied smirk as Wyatt continues to roll around, wailing in pain. Several XWL staff members rush the scene with fire extinguishers, dousing Wyatt until the flames are no more. He appears to have been rendered unconscious from the pain as he's no longer moving. O'Reilly approaches his charred remains and stands over him, looking down with an expression of pure disdain and hatred.*
[Jojo] The winner of this match... Kyle O'Reilly!
[Corey Graves] I think it's safe to say that the war between these two men is now over Mauro. Kyle O'Reilly is the victor. And that, is undisputed.
*Bobby Fish has appeared on the entranceway and is making his way towards his long-time friend and partner, clapping his hands, after all why wouldn't he want to join in his friend's celebrations given that he has been a focus point of Wyatt in several promos? Fish enters the ring and both men stand over the corpse of Wyatt. O'Reilly drops to his knees once again like he has done before, emulating Wyatt and spreads out his arms while looking to the heavens. Fish stands over him and throws up the Undisputed Era hand signs. This is the final scene we see as Cyberslam again fades to a promotional video, this time to hype up the next matchup due to take place on this historic night.*

All five men are in the ring awaiting the result of the match type, Sami looks at the Shark Cage nervously as Gable stares him down, teasing him.
The Titantron lights up as the match is revealed! The fans in attendance burst into cheers as Sami Zayn is now pale white, almost like a ghost. The titantron shows "Street Fight w/Sami Zayn suspended in a Shark Cage!" Sami turns to hightail it but isn't fast enough as TCSI waste no time and attack the three men, Owens and Jericho get shoved away from Sami who now begs Chad Gable to let him just leave. Gable of course laughs and swiftly Snap Germans Sami into the cage! Sabin quickly locks it as Sami is sprawled uncomfortably inside. Kevin rushes over to the cage trying to open it but as it starts lifting into the air all he can do is scream for his Best friend. all four men make their way to their corners as Sami is coming to, he instantly passes out again as he sees how high in the air he is.

TCSI have done it!
The theme of the new Tag Team Champions blasts throughout the arena, a wave of cheers and approval emanating from the live audience in attendance as Sami Zayn, looking down at what has just transpired is slightly heard shouting “No!” from his shark cage prison but is easily drowned out by the much louder Brooklyn crowd. Gable and Sabin slowly make it up to their feet, one using the closest set of ring ropes while the other uses the turnbuckle while the referee goes to retrieve their newly won prize: The Tag Team Championships. The referee hands them their respective championship before taking their free arms and raising them into the air, causing a somewhat louder reaction from the live audience in attendance, whether it be because of the brutal match they just endured or the fact that the Alpha Club has been dethroned, or a mixture of both, has yet to be seen.
The new Champs exchange a look, both breathing heavily after the wrestling clinic that was put on by all four men involved, before they come into an embrace in the center of the ring, a feel good moment for sure. After their first interaction seven months ago, no one would have thought that after everything they've put one another through in that time, they would be standing side by side as Tag Team Champions. Facing the main camera, Gable hops on the right turnbuckle while Sabin scales the left, both raising their Championships into the air as Sami Zayn is lowered back onto solid ground and released from his prison, quickly running to his best friends side, checking to see if they are alright. In that time, Sabin and Gable have found themselves in the center of the ring, looking out towards the ramp, where the Alpha Club have have regrouped at, a staredown between the two teams ensuing and showing that TCSI may have become the Champions on this night, but they may not be out of the woods just yet.

"We did it. We did it. I can't believe we did it."
The camera opens to Gable holding the tag title on his shoulder. His tag partner in the background as he speaks to the camera.
[Chad Gable] At the end of the day it's about what you leave out there in the ring. Tonight we left everything. Through turmoil and debauchery we weren't the first people to hold these titles but now I'm proud to say that we're the new champs on the block. Differences, blood feud and all aside, I won the tag team titles with someone I'd go to hell and back with. Hey Chris! Come tell the nice people something!
Chris Sabin If tonight proved anything, it's that Warzone was nothing more than a fluke. We didn't expect Sami Zayn to show up like he did and cost us these Championships but with him being a nonfactor tonight, we showed that we are the team to beat. Just like we showed we were the team to beat in the Motor City Cup but the only difference now is that we have the proof to show that.
[Chad Gable] This isn't just proof Chris. This is a dream come true. These titles were practically made for us. They were made for a young and hungry division and won by a young and hungry team tonight. Well I'm young and you're, well, you know. But back to my point. Come one come all, our goal is to prove that we deserve these straps around our waists and if anyone wants to step up we will gladly put you back down.
Chris Sabin This is something that I've been fighting for since I made my way into this company once upon a time. Every other company I had been in had Tag Team Gold, that I won by the way, all of them except this one. That's when Alex and myself campaigned to put a change to that and while our efforts were in vain the first time around, it wasn't until my return that the pipe dream became a reality. And this right here, THIS is the fruit of our labor.
[Chad Gable] Exactly! But that's enough. It's time to celebrate Chris. We've worked hard. I have a whole playlist done up for the after party and everything man.
With that said, the successful duo show off their newly won XWL Tag Team Championships to the camera one last time before they step out of view, the sounds of precelebration being heard down the corridor for a few more moments, ultimately disappearing into the void and leaving a brief silence in its place. The feed cuts to a video package hyping up the Main Event featuring the likes of the defending World Heavyweight Champion in Dean Ambrose and his challengers in Johnny Gargano and the man the duo in question defeated earlier in the evening to become the Tag Team Champions in Chris Jericho.

[Lilian Garcia] Ladies, and gentlemen this match is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the Intercontinental Championship! Now coming to the ring from Los Angeles, California, and weighing in at two hundred thirty-four pounds ELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLI Drake!
Eli steps out from behind the curtain, and stops at the top of the ramp. He holds his belt at belly button level. As he looks out into the XWL universe they cheer in pure excitement to see The Elite Superstar of XWL.
Eli then raises his title high up into the air.
He lowers the title, and throws the title onto his shoulder. He begins his walk down the ramp it seems he begins to lighten up as a smile begins to form. He extends his hand out high fiving fans along his way down the ramp. He now stands at the end of the ramp, and he hops onto the apron. He steps between the ropes where he is handed a microphone by the ref. He lifts it up, and begins talking.
["The Elite Wrestler of XWL" Eli Drake] HELLLLLOOOOOOO EEEEVERYBODY! This is the moment I have been absolutely excited for all freaking night. We find out who all of you voted for to see who gets a shot at this...
Eli lifts the titles off his shoulder, and raises it high into the air.
["The Elite Wrestler of XWL" Eli Drake] I can't wait any longer. So let's see the results. I am ready to defend what I have earned...
Lillian Garcia steps back up center stage, with a card of the results.
[Lilian Garcia] And now, the man with the most votes that will be awarded an International Championship match, none other than.....
She opens the card and Red’s the results which seem to baffle her. She cannot believe the results. She looks to the time keepers area as if wondering if this was the REAL results. She glances out into the arena, knowing what is coming when she reveals this mans name to be.....

[Lilian Garcia] Drew McIntyre?!
The crowd erupts into a frenzy of boos as the true “Chosen One” emerges out onto the stage. He wears a shit eating grin upon his face as he looks around at the sea off booing fans.
Mauro Ranallo What the hell? How did he win? Obviously everyone here hates him, there’s no way in hell he won.
Corey Graves Obviously someone likes him Mauro, otherwise he wouldn’t be walking down that ramp to face Eli Drake for the Intercontinental Championship right now.
Mauro Ranallo This has to be rigged!
Corey Graves What are you saying? JBL rigged this match to ensure McIntyre was the winner?
Mauro Ranallo Umm, yes Corey. That’s exactly what I’m saying.
Corey Graves Well your wrong Mauro. JBL has proved time and time again how he is a great General Manager who puts out the best show possible for all the fans. How dare you make such accusations.
Mcintyre continues down the ramp, nearly making it to the ring, but is suddenly stopped dead in his tracks. Not because of the champion standing in the ring before him, but because of the sound that begins to fill his ears.....
.

.

The theme of John Cena sends the crowd to their feet as the leader of the Cenation steps out from behind the curtain. He stands at the top of the ramp, locking eyes with Drew McIntyre. In the ring, Eli watches on while Cena rips his shirt off and tosses his hat into the crowd. He isn't smiling, and this is no game as he darts down the ramp, right at Drew!
The two collide, swinging wildly at each other. Drew is obviously taken back by the tencity of Cena who drives him down the ramp further. McIntyre doesn't make it to the apron though before Cena grabs hold of him and sends him over the barricade into the first few rows. Drew can be seen crawling away, not on purpose but to regain his footing against Cena who climbs over the barricade and into the crowd as well. Security scramble to keep the XWL Universe back, as that's their first priority, allowing Cena and Drew's brawl to continue though JBL may not have wanted such a thing.
Cena sends Drew reeling back into the crowd. Drew tees off on Cena but Cena isn't phased, anger allowing him to overcome the battle and send Drew back into the steps of the arena. Drew makes his way around the arena, being beaten by Cena the entire way until they reach the steel guard rail next to the stage. Cena doesn't hesitate, lifting Drew up onto his shoulders, setting up for the AA. McIntyre wiggles free, darting back and running at Cena. He sends John over the barricade with a big boot, giving him a moment to recover.
Drew slowly climbs over the barricade, practically snarling at Cena as he drags the hero to his feet. Without warning Cena bursts free, lifting Drew up into the AA posititon and sending him crashing onto the guard rail, back first. The crowd erupts as Drew falls into the crowd, security finally able to step in now that Cena isn't amidst the chaos of fans. They drag him back as a few people tend to Drew who is writhing in pain on the ground. Security escort Cena back into the back while medical personnel do the same with McIntyre just moments later. Then we go back to Eli, who is sat in the ring, awaiting a match that just fell apart in front of him.
Corey Graves Oh my god! That son of a bitch! He just ruined this match before it could even start!
Mauro Ranallo He got what he deserved Corey. After sending John Cena’s head into the Money In The Bank briefcase, this is just payback. The one thing I will say though, what does this mean for Eli’s defense?
Eli looks around kind of confused by all what has transpired, but then raises the mic up to his lips then begins speaking once again.
["The Elite Wrestler of XWL" Eli Drake] Do you guys smell that?
Eli sniffs the air looking around him
["The Elite Wrestler of XWL" Eli Drake] I am sensing some major bullshit in the air off that "choice". I don't really think Drew won the votes based on your guy's reaction. If you ask me I think that was the lone work of a dummy who thinks it's okay to toss around his power around here. You are going to try to do whatever it takes to take what I have earned away, but as you can see I've got people who watch out for me. Your little games stop here and now JBL, but something I don't quite seem to get is one thing...
Eli pauses then looks directly into the camera as he is trying to send a direct message to JBL.
["The Elite Wrestler of XWL" Eli Drake] What I don't understand is your fixation on making me lose this title. It seems like every where I turn there you are coming up with ideas to try, and take my Intercontinental championship. Is it cause I am the very last shred of evidence that Layla was even GM here? Are you upset that she made the right call in giving the chance for this belt, and not your fatass? Does it eat you away knowing that Drew didn't even stand a chance even if somehow he was voted by all these people? Now enough talk about our fat dummy of a GM, and lets get to the reason why all of you people are so excited right now. You all must be thinking "Eli, what are you gonna do? Since your "opponent" can no longer compete do you just get a pass for the night?" Now if I wanted to. I could just say yeah I am done for the night. Drew can't compete so neither will I, but does a fighting champion do that?
The fans begin erupting in cheers, and begins chanting "NO".
["The Elite Wrestler of XWL" Eli Drake] Does an Elite superstar do that?
Fans begin chanting "NO" even louder.
["The Elite Wrestler of XWL" Eli Drake] Well then without further waiting... let's get the second person with the most votes. I mean the actual winner down here.
[Corey Graves] Yes!
As the theme song of Kenny Omega blares throughout the arena, XWL fans jump to their feet. Some fans are seen rushing to the barricade to just get a glimpse at one of the greatest performers in wrestling today. We see Omega signs raised high in the air and fans sporting brand new Kenny Omega merch.
Finally, Kenny Omega makes his way out onto the stage.
[Corey Graves] The Best Bout Machine has arrived!
[Mauro Ranallo] And he's here looking for championship gold!
He takes a moment to look out into the screaming audience. With a smile on his face, Omega turns and faces the left side of the stage. He proceeds to do his signature pose.
As he finishes his pose, we cut away to a boy in the audience. He sports a similar haircut to Omega and is decked out in the merch of the man making his entrance. We see him doing Omega's pose. It looks as if Kenny Omega has not only captured the hearts and minds of the XWL fans, but the young fans as well. Omega begins his walk down the ramp.
[Mauro Ranallo] Partner, I spoke with Omega earlier today. He was confident as ever that he would be in this match tonight. He said that the fans watching around the world have watched his ups and downs, that they're behind him now and want him to succeed. Omega said that this is his moment!
[Corey Graves] After losing his Kyohi brothers, to taking out the man who did it... these past few months have been a roller coaster for Kenny. The question is, can he compete with a champion like Eli Drake?
Omega high fives fans along the way until he notices the camera man in front of him. In typical Kenny Omega fashion, he looks into the camera and speaks to everyone watching around the world.
Kenny Omega Of course you voted for me! Why wouldn't you? I am the ELITE of wrestling.. and I'm about to show you why!
Omega slaps hands with a few more fans before hurrying up the steel ring steps. As he walks across the apron, he locks eyes with Eli Drake.
[Mauro Ranallo] These two men are not strangers. Who could forget their legendary Best of Seven Series just a few months ago!
Omega smirks before slowly entering the ring.
[Corey Graves] Remember Mauro, Eli Drake came up victorious in the series. You have to wonder, did Kenny learn anything from that series? Has he changed up his game plan going into the match here tonight?
[Mauro Ranallo] ..or is Eli Drake just that good? Does Eli Drake have Omega's number?
As his theme song begins to fade out, Kenny Omega and Eli Drake meet in the center of the ring. Similar to last week on Anarchy, Drake simply raises his Intercontinental Championship into the air. This visual causes the XWL fans to erupt in cheers.
[Corey Graves] Oh my god! You can just feel the tension between these two men.
[Mauro Ranallo] It's no secret. These two men do not like each other and you have to believe that Kenny Omega is going to be seeking a bit of payback after losing that Best of 7.
After a few moments, the referee steps between the two and separates them. The ref tells each man to go to their respective corners, each man oblige. Omega is seen tugging to the top rope, getting a feel for it while also stretching out his upper body.
[Corey Graves] if Kenny is still thinking about the Best of 7, he's already lost. Eli is a master manipulator. If he sees even the slightest shred of doubt from Omega, he will make him pay dearly. Omega has to put the Best of 7 behind him.
Meanwhile across the ring, the referee is asking for Eli's Intercontinental Championship. Eli is hesitant to give it up as he looks at it for a moment. With the championship now in the hands of the referee, he brings it over to show Omega what's on the line in this match. The referee then turns and raises the Intercontinental Championship in the air for the world to see.
[Mauro Ranallo] The stage is set! Kenny Omega vs. Eli Drake for the Intercontinental Championship!
[Corey Graves] I've got goosebumps!
As the championship is handed of to someone at ringside, Omega and Drake lock eyes again. With both men ready to compete, the referee calls for the bell. Surprisingly, neither man moves an inch. Instead, they both take in the atmosphere of the roaring crowd. Both men look around the arena. The roof might actually come off the Barclays Center due to the noise level.
[Corey Graves] These people are on their feet!
Once again, the two lock eyes. Will Eli Drake be able to defend against the hungry challenger, Kenny Omega.. or will Omega's dreams of holding championship gold finally come true tonight?
Eli crawls to the opposite side of the ring as Kenny taunts towards the crowd. Eli struggling pulls himself against the ropes, but manages to get up to his feet.
[Mauro Ranallo] How is he standing right now?!
[Corey Graves] He is The Elite Superstar of XWL that is how!
Eli stays leaning against the ropes to catch his breath, but Omega sees an opening he busts out into a full sprint. It seems that Eli may have been playing possum this entire time. As Omega draws closer Eli ducks down, and uses his shoulder to throw Omega out of the ring. Omega drops to the ground outside the ring with a loud thud. The camera focuses on Eli grabbing his back, but has a slight smirk on his face this can only confirm that Eli knows exactly what he is doing.
[Corey Graves] See look at that Ranallo! Eli is always gonna give one hundred, and ten percent in whatever he does. Right now that is exactly what he is doing...
He steps between the ropes, and as he stands on the apron his eyes meet with the announcer table. He looks back down at Omega with a smile on his face. The crowd starts cheer building up to a big moment. Eli hops off the apron, and walks over to Omega who is still laid out on the floor. He bends down grabbing Omega by his head pulling him up to his feet, but at the exact moment Omega reaches his feet he jumps up for a outta no where V-Trigger. Eli ducks instantly, and catches Omega in perfect position for The Gravy Train.
[Mauro Ranallo] Oh my god! Eli must have been doing his scouting for this match.
He runs backwards directly into the apron causing Omega's upper back, and neck to smack against the apron. Upon collision Omega's body goes limp, and Eli walks over to the announcer table. He carefully steps up onto the table. He is able to maintain his possession of Omega while stepping onto the table. Finally Eli stands tall on top of the announcer table while holding Omega.
[Corey Graves] Ranallo.. We gotta move right now this is gonna happen. We can't have either of us getting hurt..
Corey Graves, and Mauro Ranallo move away from the announcer table as they can tell what is about to transpire. As Eli sees both of the announcers are clear he shrugs his shoulders he leaps as high as he can hitting The Gravy Train on top of the announcer table. The impact of The Gravy Train causes the announcer table to implode sending both men through the table. The fans within the arena let loose in cheers as the table imploded.
"HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT"
The ref begins counting out both superstars

As the ref was about to count ten Omega slides into the ring, and the match continues. The two men struggle to get back to their feet, and begin exchanging blows. Out of no where Kenny hits a huge knee causing Eli to stumble backwards to the ropes.
As Eli stumbles back into the ropes, Omega sees opportunity. He begins to measure Drake. Meanwhile, the referee begins checking of Drake, curious if the champ still has his wits about him.
[Corey Graves] The Champ is in big trouble here!
Omega bounces off the opposing ropes, giving him a great deal of momentum. He leaps toward Drake with his knee soaring through the air!
[Mauro Ranallo] V-TRIG...
[Corey Graves] OH MY GOD!
As the dust settles, we see the referee lying motionless on the ground. Kenny Omega stands over him, shocked by what just happened.
[Mauro Ranallo] Kenny just connected a brutal V-Trigger with the referee!
Eli Drake is seen with a smirk on his face, happy to have barely avoided Omega's devastating knee strike.
[Corey Graves] We need some help out here...
[Mauro Ranallo] The quick wittiness of Eli Drake allowed him to asses the situation and act accordingly...
[Corey Graves] But at what cost?! The rule book has been thrown out the window now. You know how Omega is, who knows what he'll do now!
Eli charges with a clothesline but Omega ducks, pulling the top rope. Eli is sent flying over the top rope, crashing to the floor below. Immediately, Omega drops to one knee as the fans begin to lose their minds.
As Eli slowly makes it back to his fan, Kenny springs up to his feet and sprints toward the ropes behind him. He turns, bouncing off the ropes and charges toward Eli Drake. Omega leaps and flies over the top rope, flipping in the air.
[Mauro Ranallo] Tope Con Hil...
[Corey Graves] No!
Eli Drake showing off his power, catches Omega out of the air. Eli walks toward the apron in front of him, throwing Omega head first onto it. A harsh thud can be heard throughout the arena.
[Corey Graves] Jesus!
[Mauro Ranallo] What the hell?! That's a human being!
[Corey Graves] Omega's head just smacked off the hardest part of the ring. No give... That's nothing but steel and wood there!
[Mauro Ranallo] Kenny might be out!
Omega is not out however. To Eli's surprise, Omega is pulling away at his knee pad, attempting to get back up. Eli is having none of this as he lifts Omega to his feet. Quickly, Eli turns and tosses Omega into the barricade behind him. Omega's back is send crashing into the thinly padded barrier.
[Mauro Ranallo] If these keeps up, we might need a second group of EMTs for Kenny Omega!
Eli plays to the crowd for a moment. He receives cheers from his loyal fans while at the same time, gets boo'd by the Omega fans around the arena. Slowly, he steps toward Omega. As he reaches down, he is met with a surprising headbutt under the chin from Omega. Eli doesn't like this one bit as he begins to hammer way at his opponent.
This doesn't last long however as a "Kenny!" chant has broke out. Almost on cue, Kenny begins punching away at the midsection of Drake. The two begin trade blow after blow. Kenny has made it back to his feet now and has now moved to strike Eli's head. As the two men go back and forth, the audience erupts. Everyone is on their feet.
[Mauro Ranallo] Someone is going to get knocked out here if they're not careful!
[Corey Graves] I think that's what they want! This is crazy!
Kenny's strikes become slower. it looks as if he is tiring himself out with this exchange. Eli notices this and unloads even more shots to Omega. Suddenly, Omega takes a big step away from Drake.
[Mauro Ranallo] SUPERKICK from Kenny Omega! MAMMA MIA!
[Corey Graves] Did you hear that?!
Eli doesn't fall down, but stumbles backward toward the entrance ramp. The force of the kick turned him all the way around. Kenny sees Eli's back and charges. He leaps over Drake and forces him down with a brutal bulldog that plants Eli face first on the entrance ramp.
Kenny tries to get up, but the exchange with Eli just moments ago is still having an effect on him. He stumbles into the barricade using the help of nearby fans to hold him up. All the fans reach out, attempting to touch their favorite superstar. Some fans even shout words of encouragement toward Omega, this fires him him up. He nods his head, liking the advice the fans have to offer. He storms over to Eli Drake.
[Corey Graves] Uh oh... We've seen that look from Omega.
Kenny brings Eli to his feets. He grabs a handful of Eli's short hair and begins pulling him toward the stage.
[Mauro Ranallo] Where's he taking Eli? You can't win the championship up there!
Kenny smiles as he looks at the huge entrance set in front of him. He looks toward Eli and back to the set. With the champion still hin his grasp, Kenny charges toward the entrance set. Kenny attempts to throw Eli's head into side screens that plays a Cyberslam graphic. Unfortunately for Kenny, Eli quickly turns Omega into the screen. As Omega's head bounces off the screen, the screen blacks out for moment. After a few moments, the screen begins to flicker on and off.
[Mauro Ranallo] Oh my god!
[Corey Graves] L... Look at the screen!
As we get a good view of the flickering screen, we see a large dent created by Omega's head.
[Corey Graves] This has gotten out of control!
Eli smiles, looking out into the crowd. The audience roars, which catches Drake of guard. He turns around but as he does so, he is met with a knee to his jaw.
[Mauro Ranallo] How! How the hell?!
[Corey Graves] Kenny Omega is not human!
Eli collapses to the floor below, but he's still conscious. Just as tough as his opponent, he's already trying to make it back to his feet. Kenny lets out a roar then to everyone's surprise, Kenny begins scaling the entrance set.
[Mauro Ranallo] What? Where's he going?
[Corey Graves] Your guess is as good as mine.
With a sick smile on his face, Kenny looks down at Eli who has made it to one knee. He isn't satisfied with his height just yet and continues to climb.
[Mauro Ranallo] He can't do this... He's gonna kill himself!
[Corey Graves] Do you think Kenny cares about his safety?! Look how high up he is. That's a good 15... maybe 20 feet!
Suddenly, Kenny jumps. He thrusts his head back, throwing his arms out in front of him.
[Corey Graves] OH MY GOD!
[Mauro Ranallo] Moonsault off the set!
The audience roars as we see Kenny Omega and Eli Drake motionless on the stage. A "HOLY SHIT!" chant breaks out.
[Corey Graves] That's it! This match is over! No way they can continue after that!
[Mauro Ranallo] Kenny Omega might have just ruined his chance to become Intercontinental Champion!
[Corey Graves] I don't think he cares. It's like I said before the match, Kenny has not forgotten about the Best of 7 Series. Kenny has been out for blood the second he stepped foot in the ring!
[Mauro Ranallo] This is a disaster! Both competitors are down. The referee is still down!
Kenny begins to stir.
[Corey Graves] Oh no..
Kenny looks a bit wobbly getting back to his feet, almost that of a newborn deer.
[Mauro Ranallo] Look at this... Someone has to stop this.
After a few moments, he is about to stand properly. With his legs back under him , Kenny begins dragging Eli back to the ring by his arms.
[Corey Graves] We might be looking at the new champion!
As the referee begins to make it to his feet, he looks confused as to why Omega is dragging Eli down the ramp. At the ring now, Kenny uses whatever energy he has left to hoist Drake onto the apron.
[Corey Graves] This is it!
Kenny pushes Eli under the bottom rope and into the ring. Eli hasn't shown a single sign of life since being crushed under Omega's dive. Quickly, Omega jumps into the ring and covers the Intercontinental Champion. Slowly, the referee drops down to count the pinfall.
1!
KICK OUT!
[Mauro Ranallo] HE KICKED OUT AT ONE!
[Corey Graves] I CAN'T BELEIVE IT!
[Mauro Ranallo] ELI DRAKE KICKED OUT AT ONE!
[Corey Graves] I thought he was dead!
Kenny sits there, shocked at the fact Eli kicked out of the pin let alone at the count of one! He looks at Eli while wondering what it's going to take to become Intercontinental Champion. Kenny stands to his feet, and gazes upon Eli who is starting to show signs of life once again as he begins moving. Kenny smiles as he does his trademarked taunt pointing his finger gun directly towards the head of Eli Drake.
[Corey Graves] It looks like Kenny is calling for the end here folks!
Eli facing towards the ramp pulls himself up using the ropes, and eagerly waiting behind is Kenny waiting to deploy the V-Trigger. Eli now to his feet slowly turns around, and Kenny seeing his chance sprints at Eli for the V-Trigger, but Eli ducks last second. Kenny quickly turns around, and is met with Eli grabbing Kenny's head then delivers a punishing knee strike to the face. He spins in a circle then hitting Kenny with a devastating clothesline.
Eli immediately covering Kenny as he thinks the match is over.

2!
KICKOUT!
Eli sits up, and looks over at Kenny Omega with a look of anger as if he is thinking he isn't sure on what he is gonna have to do to put Kenny away.
Eli stands up to his feet, and walks over to Kenny's body then pulls him up to his feet. He hits Kenny with a forearm sending him to the ropes. Eli then runs at Kenny, but he throws up an elbow.
[Mauro Ranallo] I don't get how these two are still going?!
[Corey Graves] This is simply the battle of the ages between two great superstars!
Eli stumbles backwards grabbing onto his face, but it seems like he didn't learned his lesson as he charges in again. He is met with a big boot from Kenny which sends him to the ground. Kenny catches this moment to breathe for a second, but then steps between the ropes now he stands on the apron grabbing onto the ropes. By this time Eli is getting to his feet. Kenny jumps upward, and springboards off the ropes going for a crossbody, but the strength of Eli shines yet again as Eli catches Kenny Omega. They roll through then Eli tries to throw him over his shoulder but Omega slips out of his grip landing on his feet behind him. Kenny jumps hooking his legs on Eli's shoulders, and dropping backwards hitting him with reverse frankinstiner! Kenny flips Eli over for a cover.

KICKOUT!
[Mauro Ranallo] MOMMA MIA!
[Corey Graves] I don't think it's gonna be that easy to put down The Elite Superstar of XWL.
Kenny shakes his head looking down at Eli who is breathing heavily.
[Corey Graves] One thing is clear both of these superstars have gone to war, and laid it all out here tonight folks. Whoever walks out of this fight on top is well deserved.
Kenny kips up to his feet showing he still has the fire to continue, and the crowd explodes. Kenny looks to the crowd nodding with a smile on his face, but then Eli kips up to his feet. He turns his head towards Kenny Omega whose eyes widen in shock.
[Mauro Ranallo] How is that even possible after the beating Eli has taken up to this point?!
[Corey Graves] He is The Elite Superstar of XWL that is how Ranallo!
Kenny, and Eli rush each other throwing punches. Eli gets the upper hand by hitting a huge European uppercut on Kenny causing him to collapse to the floor.
Eli goes to strike Kenny as he sits on the top rope, but the strike is blocked. Kenny then throws a kick, and hits Eli directly in the face. He stumbles backwards, and now Kenny tries to readjust himself on the top, but Eli quickly wakes up. He bursts out into a full sprint, and jumps up hitting Kenny with a knee directly to the face knocking him out. Eli turns facing outward sitting on the top rope, and now Kenny is resting on his shoulder. He grabs him placing him just right.
[Corey Graves] What is Eli doing here?
[Mauro Ranallo] Is he setting Kenny up for a Gravy Train from the top?
Eli stands on the second rope, and has Kenny hooked for the Gravy Train. He smiles looking into the camera, and shrugs his shoulder. He jumps off the second set of ropes hitting Kenny with The Gravy Train.
Eli sits there for a brief moment, and then crawls over then pins Kenny.

3!
[Lilian Garcia] YOUR WINNER, AND STILL INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION ELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLII DRAKE!
Eli sits up with a smile upon his face as finally he has put down Kenny Omega. The ref walks over, and hands Eli his title. Eli now on his knees takes the title, and with both arms raises the title high into the air.
[Mauro Ranallo] Wow... just wow. I can not believe how incredible that was. This may have been one of the greatest matches XWL has seen in quite sometime.
[Corey Graves] I couldn't agree more. That was simply incredible...
Eli stands to his feet as the all the fans in the arena are up giving him a standing ovation. He is now grabbing the back of his head. Eli sees Kenny starting to move, and Eli walks over, and extends his hand to help him up. Kenny now realizing what is happening looks up at Eli. Eli nods to him. Kenny reaches upward grabbing onto Eli's hand. Eli helps Kenny up to his feet, and once Kenny has caught his balance Eli raises Kenny's arm into the air. The crowd explodes with the sportsmanship showed by Eli.
[Corey Graves] Great sportsmanship on the behalf of our champion! He is giving credit where credit is due! Kenny gave a hell of a fight, and Eli knows that.
Kenny makes his exit out of the ring, and leaves Eli to celebrate. Eli then raises his belt again one last time before making his exit. The last thing we see is Eli walking up the ramp high fiving fans as we go to commercial break.

Camera cuts back to the for the next match.
Ring announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen this next match is set for one fall and it is a street fight.
Corey Graves: Oh I can’t wait for this one Mauro what a war this will be.
Mauro Ranallo: That’s right Corey Shawn Michaels and Leo Kruger have a hatred that runs so deep that this street fight I think will be brutal.
I
Leo Kruger comes out to cheers as he emerges through the curtain onto the entrance way.
Mauro Ranallo: These fans here certainly love Kruger. Wait Kruger turn around !
Kruger here’s people shouting and he turns around only to be greeted by a super kick from Shawn Michaels.
Mauro Ranallo: What a despicable act by Shawn Michaels to jump Kruger like that how cowardly.
Corey Graves: Shut up Mauro this is excellent get him Shawn!
Shawn Michaels then climbs over Leo Kruger and starts to lay punch after punch to Kruger’s head as he looks up with a Sadistic smile clearly pleased with himself.
Corey Graves: That’s what happens when you mess with the best in the business Mauro the icon is showing these people whose boss.
Shawn then picks up Leo Kruger and slams him into the entrance titantron and Kruger collapses to the floor. Shawn starts crotch chopping to displeased fans who wanted to see the two men compete against each other.
Mauro Ranallo: This makes me sick. Shawn is obviously to scared to face Leo Kruger and has resorted to cheap tactics to get out of his match.
Corey Graves: SCARED ?! That man right there is the icon the show stopper the main event the best wrestler in the world today Shawn isn’t scared he is just proving a point that Leo Kruger isn’t up to his standard. Shawn is showing us what happens when you mess with the heart break kid.
