---

Mike Bradley arrives at the arena, walking at a brisk pace. His flight from Portland was delayed and his luggage took forever to get off the plane. He approaches his locker room when all of a sudden, he notices the sign on the door has a different name on it.
"DANIELLE?! What the fu-"
At that moment, the door swings wide open, and there's his sister, Danielle. They stare each other down for a bit before Danielle breaks the silence.



"What the hell do you want? Remember the restraining order!"
"Yeah. I know about it. It's just that this is usually my locker room."
"Well, I don't know what to tell you, Mike. They assigned me this locker room for tonight. You figure it out."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever."
They continue to stare each other down.
"Good luck in your match tonight."
"Mike, as you've told me before... luck is for losers."
She slams the door in his face. All Mike can do is seethe before storming off to find his new locker room.

Face-to-Face Verbal Confrontation between "King of Controversy" Genesis & "Best In The World" CM Punk

Primetime opens with video recap of Genesis and Sapphire’s emotional union back together. At the end of the video recap, the sound of “Cult of Personality” by In Living Color erupts throughout the live GZWA arena as CM Punk comes out wiping his eyes and crying crocodile tears on the way to the ring. He takes a microphone from Zoey Valentine at ringside before sliding into the ring.

CM Punk wipes a few more fake tears from his eyes before raising the microphone to his lips, “It’s so beautiful… so touching… so romantic… Yet it STILL makes me want to throw up. For the last three months, GZWA audiences have been tormented with these ‘I love you!’ ‘I hate you!’ ‘I want you!’ vignettes between these two lovebirds that we all knew would hook back up despite how many people they banged as filler or in Genny’s case, how many blow up dolls he popped and how many bottles of lotion disappeared while they were apart.”

CM Punk looks at the camera and drops the box of tissue on the canvas, “You know what, Genny? There’s your early birthday present. Something to prevent those sticky fingers in the future.”

While the crowd shares in on the laughter, Punk continues, “Now that Genesis has this rerun of Days of Our Lives out of his system, now we can move onto real business. As many of you know by now, Genesis will face yours truly, AKA the Best in the World, at Slammiversary in a 60-Minute Ironman Match. As great as that match sounds all by itself, it’s missing a great tagline...”

CM Punk paces back and forth around the ring in thought before continuing, "The Best against the Worst!" "The End of an Era!" No wait can't use that one. We don't plan on hugging and kissing after our match...

CM Punk motions to speak again, but he is interrupted by the arrival of the King of Controversy himself coming down to the ring to join him with a microphone in hand.



Genesis: I'd call this match a "Once in a Lifetime" event, but we both know that's complete bullshit.

Punk: We know Xion's gonna book the rematch next year… Mark it on your calendars, folks.

Genesis: Definitely! Who else is gonna headline Slammiversary 2014? AJ Styles vs Christopher Daniels #10548059850859!?

Punk: Or Styles vs. El Jobber in a Mask who molested his girlfriend for the millionth time...

Genesis: How about Lolita... err... I mean, AJ Lee versus your prodigy Lise Starr? "Battle of the Angry Beavers" match?

Punk: Wait, wait I got a better main event. Wait for it... AJ Styles vs. Mike Bradley.

Both CM Punk and Genesis look at each other and burst out laughing.

Fans: Who!?

Genesis & Punk: OUR THOUGHTS EXACTLY!

Genesis: Speaking of the drizzling shits, where's Dean-O?

Punk: Somewhere... I know he's sad that I didn't give him Tia's phone number when he lost last week.

Genesis: Talk about a missed 'booty call'.

Punk: I gotta be honest. I'm glad he didn't win. I didn't want to give him her number. I'm still keeping exclusive rights to that.

Genesis: So, are you two officially an item now? Let's hope this relationship lasts more than 72 days.

Punk (scratches head): No, I've been surprisingly faithful to Lise.

Genesis: I know this isn't any of my business but how do you know that Lise has been faithful to you? She could be screwing Pikachu for all we know.

Punk: Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised... I swear she loves Pokemon more than anything else in this world. You're lucky. The only thing you have to worry about with Sapphire is her leaving you for another coke fiend-slash-dorky interviewer by day.

Genesis: My thoughts exactly. I'm surprised her and AJ hate each others guts. Hell they'd have plenty in common between Pokemon, Video Games and other 'nerdy' propaganda. I appreciate your 'concern', but I believe Kristine learned her lesson after this ordeal with Trent.

Punk: I heard the guys backstage saying something about adding the Trent-Tent at ringside for fans can toss beer bottles and trash at him throughout the shows. Y'know I rather see the Cole Mine around here...

Genesis: That's impossible! Trent can't even 'pitch a tent', let alone have a makeshift tent created for him.

Punk: I think we need to interview Sapphire for the official statement on that.

Genesis: Be my guest.

Punk: If I were you I would've beat the shit out of Trent Day 1 and given him a swirly in the bathroom every week until he broke up with Sapphire.

Genesis: Easy for you to say. Until you are placed in that situation yourself, you wouldn't know what to do. Part of me wanted to murder the guy. Yet, by the same token, if it was consensual between him and Sapphire, then what? I'd rather cut my loses and move forward. Thankfully, it didn't pan out that way.

Punk: There, there Genny. I would've found you a new girlfriend. I hear the MisFits need a new guy to pass their STDs to.

Genesis: No thanks. I want to be able to take a piss without my dick feeling like it's on fire.

Punk: Well, at least now we know what happened to Jimmy Jacobs after he hooked up with The MisFits...

Genesis: The Adam Lambert of professional wrestling folks.

CM Punk: “All jokes aside, let’s get down to business, shall we? I’m sure you and the rest of the GZWA Nation are still wondering why I stood up and applauded your match with Dean-O last week.

The answer to that is simple really. Believe it or not, but I do actually respect you. I stood up and applauded the fact that IT finally happened. After all of the trolling and mindgames, both you and Maddoxxx managed to push yourselves to the top of your game. At Slammiversary, I don’t want to face Brandon Payne, the Mushy Cupcake of Sapphire. No, I want to face Genesis, the man who was the longest reigning GZWA Television Champion in the history of this company who pushed even the mighty AJ Styles to his limit and beyond to become the champion that he is today. I want you to come at me with everything you got in the tank and then some because at the end of the day when the smoke clears and it’s all said and done after I beat you at Slammiversary, there will be no shadow of a doubt that I’m better than you when I beat you at the top of your game.”

Genesis: Fair enough, and I must say the respect is more than mutual. With all of our personal and professional differences aside, I respect you, Punk. I respect what you stand for. I respect all that you’ve done and achieved in this industry. When it comes right down it, you and I have a lot more in common than we both realize. However, as much as we respect each other, when it comes right down to it. We both want to be the same thing: “The Best In The World”. You WERE, ‘The Best In The World’ for many years, Punk. Since you’ve chosen to take a step back from the ring, a lot has changed. This is the big leagues! We are not in the WWE or Ring of Honor. If I may borrow a tagline from a fallen federation: “This is where the big boys play!” In the two years I’ve been in GZWA I have dominated and put my thumbprint on this company. You are right! I was the Television Champion for well over a year. I took a championship that no one would ever take seriously and made it prestigious. I took the World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles and made him into what he is today. As much as it pains me to say this, he is the World Champion at my expense. Everything AJ has earned and achieved in the past year can be rooted back to our feud. I made AJ Styles relevant again after the ‘Dixie Chick’ down south wanted nothing more to do with him.

I took your boy, Dean Maddoxxx and made him my bitch! Outside of the cheap, knockoff victory in the opening match, I made it my mission to humiliate and make an example out of him. At the conclusion of the 2nd match, I locked on the Anaconda Vise and wanted to hear him scream and beg for mercy. I loved and enjoyed second of it. Hell, I even applied the hold better than you ever could, which made the victory that much more sweeter!

I wanted you to see with your own two eyes what I’m capable of doing when I am pushed over the edge. I looked into your eyes that night and I could see the fear. Then, it became all too apparent when I closed out the series last week. I turned your little pet “Prodigy” into a worthless pile of trash. I’ll admit that I had been distracted with my personal issues involving Kristine (Sapphire) and Trent, which took me off of what I needed to do inside the ring. That is to become the best this industry has and ever will see! Now that is all over and done with, my only focus now is Slammiversary and our match that I know will steal the show.

I want the CM Punk that wrestled an hour and a half against the likes of Chris Hero. I want the CM Punk who put on a wrestling clinic with the likes of Samoa Joe in Ring of Honor. I want the CM Punk who had set a balls and stole the show in the WWE in 2011! I want CM Punk, the WRESTLER! “The Best In The World!” Not a shell of his former self acting as manager, guest commentator and a mouth piece.

If you don’t bring your ‘A’ game at Slammiversary? Then take what I did to your boy Dean-O and multiply it by infinity and beyond. Because the beating I will give you is going to pale in comparison to what I did to “The Parental Advisory”.

CM Punk: “This sport hasn’t changed. We still have the fans who will love or hate you no matter what you do in this business. We still have the marks and internet tools who are dissecting this segment like high school biology experiment because they THINK they know what’s going to happen. We still have a cesspool of high school dropouts up in management thinking that they have the intelligence and creative direction required to run this company better than the actual wrestlers who know the product. At the end of the day, you’re right -- we are much alike. We both grew up as passionate fans of this business and we want to see it continue to thrive. I took a break for I could take a better look at this business from the outside looking in for I could see my vision for improving this business even clearer. My path is clear, Genesis. It starts with beating you at Slammiversary and ends when I’m the GZWA World Heavyweight Champion.



Granted, I was impressed that you managed to beat Maddoxxx, but as my “Prodigy” - I wouldn’t call him that much. He was my chosen “CM Punk Guy” but I will be the first to admit that he has grown slack and lazy over the last few months. Those matches against you were the exact torch that needed to be ignited underneath his ass to put him on the right track. You beat Maddoxxx and I accept that, but you’re not accepting the reality of this situation. You can beat Maddoxxx but you can’t beat me. A match against Maddoxxx and a match against me are two different ballparks, buddy. To be honest, I could care less if you could you apply or do the Anaconda Vise period. What matters to me is that did the move out of disrespect. Everytime I do that move, it is a homage to Hiroyoshi Tenzan, but for you to use it as a cheap insult just added more fuel to the fire. I promise… No, I GUARANTEE that I’m going to make you tap out to that very hold.

We all know that you’re no strange to tapping out, eh Genny? How you took your ball and went home after you couldn’t cut it back in TBN or after the kids wouldn’t play nice with you back in UFWA which led to you crying as you signed that GZWA contract in a heartbeat. Or maybe we should talk about how you gave up being a father when left Syren and your son? Oops, sorry. I’m sure you didn’t have time to break that news to Sapphire while you had to dig through her purse for your balls and take off her pants before coming out here tonight.

You know what? Since I’m a nice guy, how about I buy all of your exes tickets to Slammiversary and they can all get a front row seat to this BIBLICAL beating I’m going to give you? Hmm, this will be the only time in her life where Sapphire will be saying ‘Oh God! Oh God! Oh God!’ when she looks at you…”

Genesis: Fair enough. I'll agree with you over the "cesspool of high school dropouts" who think they have what it takes to run a wrestling company. Hell, why do you think United Farm Workers of America is in business? Yeah, exactly! As for your plans for beating me and going on to become the future World Heavyweight Champion? That's a very bold statement, Punk. One that I would love to see you put to the test this Sunday. I sincerely hope this time away from the hasn't made your body fragile. If so? I'm going to shatter and break every bone in your body.

Trust me, I'm well aware that wrestling you and wrestling Dean-O is two completely different animals. When I wrestled Maddoxxx, I was wrestling someone who had already given up and had no heart left for his craft. When I looked into Dean's eyes, I saw nothing but a man getting his paycheck and getting the hell home. A man who lacked the heart and passion for this business. When I look into yours? I see a man who still has the passion for what he does, however, he lacks the fire and the drive to be who he wants to be. The reason I locked on the Anaconda Vise was to start the fire. I KNEW it would piss you off to no end, and from the reaction I'm getting? I can see that I've done my job successfully. You damn right I did it out of disrespect! I wanted to show you how EASY it is to do what you do, and to do it BETTER than you!

You want to dig into my personal and professional career? Ha... that's cute coming from a guy who doesn't know the half of it. My legacy began in TNB Wrestling. For those three years, I went from being a loud mouth punk (no pun intended) to the most Controversial wrestler in the industry. Everyone that got in my way, I made sure they were dealt with. Yes - I played politics. Yes - I was a handful and not an easy guy to deal with. Yes - I was eventually let go. But I did it all with my HONOR and PRIDE intact. I wasn't going to change and conform to ways that I didn't believe in. THAT is why I left.

As for UFWA... (laughs). I'll be nice and say they couldn't handle me. I busted my ass off and where did it get me? Nowhere! John Morrison and I, we formed the original "Ego Trip". With the lovely Maryse at our side. We should have been a force to be reckoned with. Instead? The (southern accent) "Good Ol' Boys!" (end southern accent) network kicked in and saw fit to keep us down to a certain level. Never allowed to ascend to the highest level. Always staying in neutral so the circle jerk staff could have their fun. Eventually, enough became enough and it was time for a change. I sat there and watched my friends become abused to the point where they were forced to move on. Yeah, your right. I had a relationship with Maryse. One that was very hot and passionate to say the least. Yes, I fathered a child with Syren. A child that I don't get the chance to see, or will ever see again. Yeah... let THAT thought sink into your mind, Punk. Imagine never being allowed to see your flesh and blood because the unholy bitch of a mother thinks I am an 'unfit' parent. Again, you have no idea what you're talking about son. Hence came my entry into GZWA, a move that I should have made right from the start. Nevertheless, the rest you may as well say is history. I'm right where I need to be, and I'm only going to be ascending to higher levels from Slammiversary onward. All at your expense!

And since you want to push my buttons and dig up my past. Let's bring up yours shall we?

Where should we begin with you, Phil?

How about we start with the broken home? A mother that never wanted you. A drunken father who never knew his son existed half the time. The brother who stole everything from you. WOW! They really loved you didn't they, Phill? Boy weren't you a waste of good sperm. The 'Spaceboy' tattoo fits you perfectly, as you are nothing more than a test tube baby that no one wants or gives a shit about!

Oh, but it gets even better ladies & gentlemen. You and your band of misfits that you like to call ‘friends’ decide to form your own backyard wrestling league. Gee, who hasn't done that before? Such a damn shame you didn't fuck up and kill yourself back then. I would have paid good money to see you botch a piledriver from the rooftop to the ground below.

Then, the rest we can say is history. You move on to ROH. Get your name out there for all the fanboys, smart marks and everyone else who loves to jerk off to the name CM Punk. You have a run with a company that shall remain nameless, according to your biography. Where you really showed some promise as being nothing more than a "Flock" of crap! Quote the Genesis... nevermore! haha!

Then came the almighty run in WWE! You started out as Paul Heyman's little pet project. Entering OVW with a chip on your shoulder. Still unwanted by the higher ups. To the point where the office was THIS CLOSE to releasing your sorry ass because you couldn't cut it in the big leagues. But, as fate would have it, your father figure Paul E. Dangerously bails you out and gives you a shot in ECW.

From there? Yeah... you made a name for yourself. You proved the office wrong. You went on to do great things for the 'E'. Multiple championship runs. "The Straight Edge Society". "Summer of Punk". Pipebomb after pipebomb. 434 days as their World Champion. Yeah... I would be an idiot to say that is not impressive, but it is. Then, you come here to GZWA and what do you do? Not a damn thing! You run your mouth. You pick up a couple of slackers as your prodigies. You're a guest commentator on Prime-Time, throwing out one meaningless wisecrack after another with Larry, Curly and Moe. Until you and I crossed paths, you were just as irrelevant here as your personal life. Before you crossed paths with me, if you left the company before then. You would be nothing more than just a brick in the wall. A wrestler that was just passing through for one more shot at fortune and glory. At Slammiversary, you have your one and only shot at fortune and glory. In order to get it, you have to get past me. A feat that you will never ever be able to accomplish. You wanna make me tap out? Go for it! Do what needs to be done. Snap every bone in my body. Bust me open from pillar to post. Beat me until I am black and blue. All of it won't matter because I will return the favor and pummel you until you can't take it anymore. Then, once the clock reaches 0:00, you will find out exactly why everyone in the GZWA has no other choice but to "Hail to the King" baby!

Punk sarcastically applauds, “Are you done reading the dirt sheets and googling my Wikipedia page?”

He laughs off Genesis’ remarks, “That's rich there, Genny. You call me a mere brick in the wall when every time I speak in a microphone these people these people actually LISTEN to what I have to say instead of picking up their remotes and turning to that 'other' company and listen to 60 year old man talk about his grapefruits. Whether these people love or hate me, they come to these arenas to see me, despite the fact that I have NEVER stepped into the ring in GZWA. People listen to me because I speak the truth - not some sugar-coated bullshit decorated to protect people's feelings, the real truth that makes a man look at himself differently when he wakes up and looks in the mirror every morning. 

You would be the expert on ‘wastes of sperm’ wouldn’t you, Genny? Well, other than Carter over there at the commentary table… but that’s besides the point. I’m sure you can go back to wasting more sperm after Sapphire dumps you for another random backstage interviewer. If you don’t want that box of Kleenex, I’m sure your buddy Carter can put it to good use.

As for backyard wrestling, I started this business as fan. I’m STILL a fan as well as a wrestler. I’m going to continue being a fan until the day I die. That’s not going to change. I’ve wrestled in gymnasiums, shopping malls, and arenas sold out all around the world. I have paid my dues a thousand fold. For every shitty hand life has handed me, I have turned it around. I am not a man who complains about my shortcomings in life. I traveled the independent scene for years busting my ass until I got signed to Ring of Honor. The big wigs in charge couldn’t deal with the fact that I was a big fish in the small pond that was considered their promotion. I captured their Holy Grail and signed my WWE contract right on top of it.

Fast forward to the lackluster beginnings of my WWE career that we can easily compare to your own humble beginning in UFWA. We both were held down by management, but key difference is that I stuck around until I was at the top of the organization. I didn’t allow anyone, especially the trained chimps in management, to stop me from reaching the ceiling and shattering all of the records. I am the wrestler that everyone aspires to be in this modern age and will continue be praised and adored long after we are both dead and buried. Unlike you, Genesis, I didn’t allow anyone’s opinion tarnish my legacy. The difference being that I didn’t allow my coke fiend of a girlfriend distract me from being a father, a role model, and what truly is important - being The Best In World 365 days a year, 24 hours a day.

Ironic that you want me to come at you with every fiber of my being. Just like Sapphire proved on the last Primetime with that nasty habit of hers, I don’t know how to quit… I keep coming back for more and more until I come out victorious. Face it, Genesis. You keep fooling these people and yourself with this brave face that you’re putting on, but I know the truth. You can talk the talk and walk the walk, but at the end of the day, you’re going to give up at Slammiversary when you face the harsh reality -- You can’t beat me.

It’s not so hard to give up, right? You already gave up being a dad when that was too hard… It’s only fair that you give up being a man after you lose to me at Slammiversary.”

Genesis laughs as he replies, “Actually Punk, this came straight from your WWE DVD. Yeah… for some reason every mark and fanboy had one orgasm after another over that boo-hoo fest. But I guess you conveniently forgot about that. Then again, if something doesn’t go your way or to your liking, you choose to write it off as another “oh woe is me” story, or you forget about it completely like it never happened. But hey, it is what it is and if CM Punk doesn’t get his way? He throws a bitch fit backstage and threatens to walk out of the company right? You are the same guy that walked out of another company with their World Championship without a contract, right? Yeah, thought so. That’s a lot of RESPECT shown to a business that you supposedly love and care about.

You have ZERO respect for this business, Punk. The only time you love this industry is when CM Punk is profiting off of it. You have a lot of nerve talking down to me like I’m some sort of selfish, egotistical prick. But when it comes right down it, Punk. It’s nothing more than the pot calling the kettle black. Look yourself in the mirror sometime. The man you see reflecting back at you is the most selfish, self-centered son of a bitch I have ever met in my career. A man that I’m going to take great pleasure out of destroying and eliminating him from this industry forever this Sunday.

As far as your ‘legacy’ goes? You might be remembered as one of the greatest wrestlers to ever lace up a pair of boots. A man that loved to “shoot” his mouth off on the microphone and break the fourth wall every chance he got. But to the people that matter? You are only going to be remembered by the events of Slammiversary 2013. Your career will forever be attached to that date and time as the man who failed to get the job done. Who ran his mouth for the last seven months bragging about how we was “The Best In The World”, and was going to kick Genesis’ ass. Now Punk, it’s time to put up… or shut the FUCK UP!

Genesis strikes CM Punk down with the microphone. Hitting him as hard as he could in the jaw/lip area, busting Punk’s mouth wide open. Gen. throws the mic down and taunts Punk. Screaming for him to get up and fight: “GET UP YOU LITTLE BASTARD! C’MON! YOU THINK YOU ARE BETTER THAN GENESIS!? PROVE IT!!!” Punk goes to strike at Genesis with a Spinning Back Fist, but Genesis counters, kicks him in the mid-section and then proceeds to go for an attempted “Game Over!” (Pedigree) to finish the job. CM Punk flips him overhead to counter. Genesis is quick to race back up to his feet with a Whiplash (Clothesline From Hell) but CM Punk answers with a Go To Sleep. Genesis holds onto the nearby ropes and safety lands back on his feet as the two Superstars stare down in this stalemate as the screaming fans of the live Primetime audience are cheering this on as Primetime takes a commercial break.

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles can be seen entering the arena as Primetime is just underway here tonight. He's dressed in street clothes for now, but brought his bag as he's scheduled to compete in a mixed tag team match later on in the night.



As he walks into the backstage area, he hears a chime in his pocket signaling a text message arrived. He pulls his phone from his pocket, smiling as he sees its from Mei Long, and he reads it aloud.

Meet me at the gym.

Usually they don't work out together, especially at the arena, but AJ thinks nothing of it as he changes course from his locker room to the gym. With the upcoming PPV, AJ and Mei have both had their minds focused on their respective matches. AJ makes his way to the gym, and kneels down to pull his work out clothes from his bag when he hears Mei's voice behind him.

"Hey stranger."

A.J. turned to see the Beautiful Dragon reclined on the weight bench. At the sight of her boyfriend, she hopped from her seat to give a greeting kiss. Her hands making a short nap onto A.J.'s chest while one leg sprang behind her.

"I'm glad you're here."

AJ smiles, wrapping his arms around Mei's waist.

Thanks, it's always good to see you too. So, what was this little meeting about? We don't usually get together until after Primetime. Is everything okay?

”Nothing bad. Just wanted to spend a short time together without those creeps interfering.”

Mei Long smiling back at AJ, in return.

”How do you feel about your match? I know Hano Eiyu has been your opponent rather constantly, and with Slammiversary ahead, you will be well prepared for what he will offer.”

The smile slowly fades from AJ's face, as he remembers about his match.

To be honest, I'm just waiting for El Arrendajo Ardiente to somehow get involved. He's been in the back of my mind, and with everything going on, I really want to shut him up once and for all. I want Slammiversary to come and go with both of us still standing as champions. What about you? Any preference on you defend your championship against?

Mei goes playful once again as her finger overlaps A.J.'s lips, silencing him with a smile on her face.

"Now, A.J., you know I'm not the individual to express my preference, especially now since I have to be a referee for the recent match. It wouldn't be fair would it?”

As A.J. Replies to her, Mei's manicured index finger traced from A.J.'s chin down to his exposed chest. He closes his eyes as she touches his chest, before opening his eyes and smiling at her, knowing she isn't one to give anything away.

I guess it wouldn't. How about this, though? Is this fair?

AJ gently takes Mei's wrist, and wraps it around his neck before leaning in close and kissing her slowly and passionately. Mei widening her eyes, expressing the sudden intimate surprise. After a few moments, AJ breaks away from her, and releases his grip on her body. He knew that she wasn't one to want to be intimate publicly, as he wasn't normally either, but with everything going on recently, it felt good to spend time with Mei just the two of them. Unfortunately, it had to be brief as both had to prepare for their matches at Primetime.

"We can't be here too long, lover boy. We have matches tonight, even though I am the special referee. Good luck at your match tonight.”

Thank you, beautiful. I'll see you after the show.

Mei Long leaned in for one last kiss before walking away towards the gymnasium doors. She turned back to A.J. with her smile still active, sending an exiting wave with her hands planted on the door handles. Her smile, however, turned into a loud gasp.

"A.J., watch out!”

Styles doesn't have much time to react before a steel chair landed on his back with a loud bang, echoing the gymnasium air. The camera man wondering who was the assailant of A.J.'s attack, but before it could turn towards A.J., the camera man suddenly viewed the black hooded figure emerge towards him with the same chair. The figure elevated the chair towards the camera before turning static as the impact was made.

Singles Match - "Hot Mess" Taryn Terrell vs. "The Unholy Angel" Kayda Erikson

Prof. X: We will try to keep you all updated on the conditions of both the GZWA World Heavyweight Champion and Women's Champion as we're still trying to get another camera crew to the location.
The Carter: I hope Mei Long and AJ Styles are alright!
Francine: We will need a new referee for the Women's Championship #1 Contender Match later tonight if the Beautiful Dragon can't make it.
The Carter: I'd love to step in there with the Divas and act as the official for the match!
Francine: I'll say this for every Diva in the locker room, Carter -- Thanks, but no thanks.
Prof. X: We haven’t seen Taryn in action for the last few weeks after the attack from her mysterious assailant.
Francine: Who would have known that Maria Kanellis would have such a mean streak bottled up inside her?
The Carter: I wish I could be insi--- OUCH!!
Francine interrupts Carter by slapping him upside the back of his head, “I don’t even want to hear you finish that sentence.”
Prof. X: Well, Taryn will have to deal with a different redhead tonight, in the form of The Unholy Angel herself, Kayda Erikson. She made an impressive GZWA debut on our last broadcast defeating Sapphire.
Francine: I think Sapphire needs to focus more on her rehab instead of pestering this rookie. By the way, what is with this company’s fixation on hiring mentally disturbed women?

Both Divas lock up at the sound of the opening bell with Taryn quickly gaining the advantage as she transitions into a side headlock. The Unholy Angel counters by shoving Taryn into the ropes. Kayda greets the returning Taryn with a pending Short-Arm Clothesline, but Taryn ducks the swing and counters with an application of a Rear Naked Choke.

The Carter: Looks like Taryn’s going to win this one early. So much for the beginners’ luck, eh?
Francine: I wouldn’t count Kayda out yet.

Kayda slips out of the hold and positions herself behind Taryn before capitalizing with a Full Nelson Facebuster. With Taryn face-first in the canvas, Kayda turns the tables as she applies a Single Leg Boston Crab. Taryn winces in pain before rolling her hips and pushing herself off the canvas with an Enzuigiri with her free leg to Kayda’s skull. The blow stuns The Unholy Angel momentarily, but it’s more than enough time to allow Taryn to capitalize with Northern Lights Suplex with a bridge.

One…
Two…
NO!!

Kayda rolls her shoulder off the canvas before using Taryn’s own maneuver against her as she rolled through and brought them back to their feet before sending Taryn crashing back to the canvas with a Snap Suplex.

Prof. X: My word, such an impressive display these two Divas are putting on here tonight!
Francine: Settle down, Professor. The match has barely gotten started.

Taryn writhes in pain from the blow while Kayda ascends the turnbuckle and delivers a Diving Moonsault for good measure. The Unholy Angel hooks Taryn’s leg upon impact as Referee Jacqueline Moore makes the count again.

One…
Two…
NO!!

Like The Unholy Angel moments ago, Taryn rolls her shoulder off the canvas before the count of three. This doesn’t discourage Kayda’s offense in the least as she keeps Taryn grounded with a Leg Trap Camel Clutch. Jacqueline looks for any sign of Taryn showing that that the Hot Mess is ready to submit but to no avail. Taryn shook her head refusing to give up.

At that moment, Maria Kanellis is shown standing at the top of the entrance ramp. For now, her presence is innocent enough as she is merely surveying the match.

The Carter: I wonder if she would like to join us down here? I can easily make room on my lap for her!
Francine: Ugh… I doubt she’s not desperate to see this match that she would have degrade herself by coming anywhere NEAR you…
Prof. X: Uh oh, it looks like this might be over already!

Taryn’s outstretched arm waivers as she struggles to keep it suspended in the air. Taryn finally gives up the ghost and drops her hand… onto the bottom rope. She grips the rope firmly as Jacqueline forces Kayda to break the hold. As Taryn crawls on all fours trying to regain her bearings, Kayda capitalizes with a Scissor Kick. Taryn stops The Unholy Angel’s offense with a well-placed Back Elbow as she spring up from the canvas. Taryn dragged Kayda back to her feet and executed a Vertical Suplex as the momentum shifted back into her favor. Taryn goes for another pin.

One…
Two…
Th--NO!!

The Unholy Angel kicks out as the Hot Mess prepares her wake-up tactic for Kayda and closes in with a Spear. Kayda spun up to her feet with a Spear of her own as both Divas collide into each other in the center of the ring.

Prof. X: Ouch… I know that had to hurt.
Francine: If that’s not a “hot mess” then I dunno what is…
The Carter: The only thing that matters is that both of them are HOT!

With both Divas down on the canvas, Maria approaches the ring as Referee Jacqueline Moore makes the double knockout count.



1…
2…
3…
4…
5…
6…
7…

Both Divas answer the count and stagger to their feet. Taryn races to make the first move with a clothesline but Kayda answers with an Irish whip that sends Taryn into the corner. Taryn scales the corner post and dives down with the Hot Body (Diving Cross Body) into Kayda Erikson behind her. Taryn hooks Kayda’s leg into another pin upon impact, but that position proved to be fatal as Kayda transitions into an application of the Eternal Scream (Crippler Crossface). Taryn arches her spine as Kayda wrenches the hold tighter and headbutts her from behind. This stuns Kayda long enough to escape.

Maria Kanellis whistles from ringside to get Taryn’s attention. Taryn falls for Maria’s tactic briefly before rebounding from the ropes with a Running Cutter to catch The Unholy Angel as she returned to her feet. Kayda stops Taryn in her tracks with a vicious European Uppercut before reeling her in for The Barbie Crusher (Hammerlock Guillotine Drop). Kayda pins Taryn to the canvas upon impact and Jacqueline makes the count.

One…
Two…
Three!!



After the match, Maria Kanellis is shown exiting backstage while Kayda helps Taryn to her feet as Primetime takes a commercial break.

Primetime comes back from a commercial break with The Crown Jewel, Sapphire, in the ring with her entrance music playing briefly before Sapphire motions to have it stopped.

I'm sure you all know by now what happened last Primetime, which unfortunately cut my time short. Now, I'm back in the ring where I belong, and as much as I would have loved to be on this card tonight, I promised Mariah that I wouldn't compete until I have a clean bill of health. So, I decided to check into a Melbourne Beach rehab facility so that I can make sure that Genesis and I can start our life together the best way possible. But first, before I do, I would love to address what you all witnessed last Primetime after Kayda Erikson fluked her way to victory, and then on ReAction when she decided to make a mockery of me.

All of a sudden, "Das Schwarze Meer" by Subway to Sally plays through the speakers, as the GZWA Nation cheers wildly in anticipation of The Unholy Angel's appearance. Unfortunately, Kayda Erikson is no where to be seen, and realizing it was simply a tease, Sapphire raises the mic back to her mouth.

I knew you didn't have the guts to step in the ring with me. Probably a good thing too, because I would have felt slightly guilty for ending your career before you had much of one to begin with. You know about feeling guilty, don't you? That feeling when you've been pushed just a little...too...far and all of a sudden...You snap. Sometimes those things just happen and you can't control them. It's okay, we've all been there, Kayda...Or should I say Genevieve. You remember 07/07/07, right?

Sapphire motions to the TitanTron where a newspaper clipping is shown, the title reading, "One Survivor and Three Dead in Drunk Driving Wreck After Concert."

What is it, Genevieve? You didn't think I'd find this?

"Das Schwarze Meer" sounds through the arena again with Sapphire looking to the entrance ramp expecting the arrival of The Unholy Angel. Meanwhile, Kayda Erikson slides into the ring behind Sapphire, steel chair in hand, and just as Sapphire turns around -- WHACK! Kayda connects, impacting the chair into Sapphire's temple. The Crown Jewel falls to the floor immediately after impact, and with Sapphire down, Kayda immediately locks in Die Siebente Sünde (The Seventh Sin). Several of the GZWA referees come in to try and get her to break the hold and get some space between Erikson and the unconscious Sapphire. Finally, The Unholy Angel releases the hold. She takes a few steps back, but instead of exiting the ring, she picks up the steel chair and threatens the ref's as they try and reason with her. Kayda lunges towards them and they decide it's not worth it, as they scatter out of the ring. Sapphire very slowly shows signs of movement, but not for long as Kayda raises the chair high above her head, bringing it down across the neck and back of The Crown Jewel. She doesn't stop there, as she continues to assault Sapphire five more times with vicious chair shots, the seventh one causing the chair to finally give way and break. Erikson glares down at Sapphire, whose head is surrounded by a small pool of blood, a dark sadistic smile forming on her face. Kayda then tosses the chair aside, and picks up the microphone that had been dropped earlier. She looks down towards Sapphire, the smile still on her face.

Sieben ist meine Zahl. (Seven is my number.)

She then drops the mic on Sapphire's unconscious body, before laughing and walking off out of the ring and up the ramp.

Women's Championship #1 Tournament Final: Winner Takes All - Singles Match - "The Ultimate Vixen" Raven vs. Amber Torres - Special Referee: GZWA Women's Champion "The Beautiful Dragon" Mei Long

Prof. X: Welcome back, GZWA fans. We have some good news and bad news. 
The Carter: The good news is that Mei Long is still able to referee this match.
Francine: The bad news is that we still don't have any clarity on the situation with AJ Styles. 

“No Hands” by Neon Hitch blares throughout the arena as Amber makes her presence known on the ramp with a smile on her face receiving a welcomed response by the audience. Reaching the bottom of the ramp the crowds cheers turn to a wave of boo’s as Raven clubs Amber from behind. Snarling at Amber, Raven drags her up to her knees while pulling her shirt over her head. Raven proceeds with driving vicious knees, repeatedly, into the face of a blind and currently helpless Cruz before hurling her into the steel steps with a thunderous crash. She backs away as Mei Long tries to check on Amber, but Raven pushes her out of the way and charges at Amber with a Running Knee Strike, crushing her head between the steel steps. From there she kneels down to a wounded Amber’s level hammering away with closed fists. Long pulls Raven off of Amber returning the push, the two now in each others face as officials rush down to check on Amber and keep the Beautiful Dragon and the Ultimate Vixen apart, ordering them into the ring.

Raven stares through the ropes yelling at Amber to “STAY DOWN!”. Staggering up to a vertical base, Amber manages to roll herself into the ring, the officials keeping Raven at bay as Amber takes time to recover so that the match may start. Mei Long signals for the bell to ring and the two opponents immediately charge at each other, Amber gaining the advantage as she tackles Raven to the mat and begins to swing away with rights and lefts. Raven covers up trying to lighten the blows as she is able to kick Amber off of her. Raven scurries to the bottom rope where Amber goes for her next move, but Raven quickly grabs a handful of Amber’s pants and yanks her through the ropes. Amber crashes ringside but does her best to get back to her feet avoiding a baseball slide from Raven.

The Ultimate Vixen misses the kick and slides herself out of the ring where Amber greets her with a stinging slap to the face. Raven holds her face in shock as she side-eyes Amber with a look to kill in her eyes. She balls up her fist and swings wildly in anger, but misses as Amber ducks under and strikes back with a Savate Kick catching Raven on the chin perfectly. Amber rolls Raven back in for a pin.

One...
Tw-NO!!

Raven quickly kicks out and forces Amber off as she begins to rise. Amber strikes with a chop across the chest with the crowd reacting in a “WOOOOOOO!”. Amber hits another, backing Raven into the corner before brushing her chest off for the last stinging chop. Amber hoists Raven on the top turnbuckle as she climbs up for a superplex off the top rope, but Raven fights back with elbows to the jaw dazing Amber long enough for her to slide under with Amber still on the ropes.

Raven goes under Amber and sets her up on her shoulders in an Electric chair position. Amber turns the tables as she reels Raven back towards the ropes to hurricanranna them both over the top, crashing on the outside. Amber gets to her feet to see Raven using the steps to get back up. As Amber advances, Raven dropkicks her knee, taking her legs from beneath her. Amber falls forward hitting the steel steps face first; the crowd gasping “Oooh!” upon the impact. Raven sees the damage and pats herself on the shoulder, her Cheshire smile getting a rise out of the audience as they boo her. Raven pulls Amber by her hair and viciously drags her around the ring, yanking her along with an arrogant smile before rolling her back in the ring.

Amber rolls up to a seated position where Raven kneels down and begins to assault her with repeated MMA-style elbows to the neck and head that evolves to forearm clubs across the face. Getting a warning from Mei with no sign of stopping Raven unwillingly lets up letting Amber fall to the mat limp before going for a cover.

One...
Two...
Th--NO!!

Raven begins to drag Amber up, but receives a headbutt to the chin instead. Amber fights back with right hands before whipping her to the ropes. Raven reverses and upon rebound, lifts Amber onto her shoulders and slams her via Samoan Drop with a show-offy kip-up following. Raven saunters over to Amber’s body placing a boot on her chest as she bows.

One...
Two...
Th--NO!!

Her smile drops as Amber kicks out from this arrogant pin. Raven begins to slap away at Amber’s head urging her to get up. Amber crawls to the ropes looking to get back up but Raven keeps her down with a running soccer kick to the face. Raven smiles as she gets a kick out of Amber’s pain not allowing her to get back on offense.

Amber crawls into the corner catching Raven’s smug look as the full-of-herself vixen runs over, holding on the ropes and pushes herself in the air going for an Upgrade (Hardyac Arrest) but Amber slinks out of the way causing Raven to crash and burn on the mat. Amber, seeing this as a window of opportunity, takes a bit of time to recover but takes the fight to Raven with a diving clothesline from the top rope. Amber gains momentum as she rebounds off the ropes hitting Raven with a Flying forearm smash.

Amber stays on a roll dazing Raven with an Enzuigiri knocking her to one knee. Amber then revs up for a Dashing By (Shining Wizard) but Raven leans her body all the way back in a Death Drop dodging the attack. Raven begins to lift back up but Amber wastes no time in keeping her out with a Happy Ending (Split–legged hangman's neckbreaker). Amber goes for the cover.

One...
Two...
Thr--NO!

Raven is able to get the shoulder up just in time. Raven pops up blatantly punching Amber in the throat before hurling her into the ring post. Amber slips ringside as Raven uses the ropes to fully get back up to her feet. She maintains a vertical base not knowing that Amber is beginning to climb the turnbuckle behind her. Raven turns around to to see a flying Amber coming down down in the form of a Diving Crossbody. That instinct kicks in as Raven catches Amber, twisting her in mid-air, transitioning the Diving Crossbody into a high impact variation of her WooHoo (Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker).

Raven drops Amber across her knee with a devilish grin as she goes over for the pin.

One...
Two...
T-WAIT!

Mei stops the count at two as she informs Raven of Amber’s foot on the bottom rope. Raven rolls off Amber’s body slamming her fist on the mat before mounting Amber in a blind rage and driving brutal bare knuckle punches into her skull. She chokes her on the mat releasing it at the refs count of four receiving another warning. Raven gets in the Mei Long’s face, arguing, ready to swing a fist her way but remembers what’s on the line. Before she could turn around, Amber pulls her down into a Schoolgirl Roll-Up.

One...
Two...
T--NO!!

Raven is able to get out of the pin at two as they both get up beginning to trade shots. Amber gains the upper hand with repeated jabs to the jaw. She whips Raven to the ropes missing a clothesline as the Ultimate Vixen ducks under. Raven rebounds and goes under again as Amber leapfrogs over her and runs to the adjacent ropes herself. They both come together in a clash of double clotheslines turning each other inside out. As they crash to the mat the Long begins the double knockout Ten Count while the show fades to a commercial break.

Coming back from break, Amber is back in the drivers seat as she backs Raven to the ropes with a series of right hands. She tries for a clothesline over the ropes but Raven ducks down to lift her over. Amber lands on the apron, unknown to Raven, and races to the top of the turnbuckle. Raven finally turns around to be crushed under Amber’s Moonsault. Amber stays on for the cover.

One...
Two...
Thre--NO!!

Raven manages to kick out right before three. Amber charges at a recovering Raven with a spear but the slippery vixen evades the attack while pulling the ref, Mei Long, in her place. Amber stops making sure not to take out Mei. This distraction allows Raven to roll Amber into a School girl roll up.

One...
Two...
Wait!!

Mei stops the count as she notices Raven’s hand clutching the rope for extra measure. Raven slams her fist on the mat before getting in Mei’s face again as if she would’ve gave her a pass for cheating. Amber grabs a handful of Raven’s red mane as she prepares for a Droppin’ Dimez (Reverse Twist of Fate). Raven twists herself out of Amber’s clutch, holding on to her arm and pulling her in for a clothesline. Amber ducks under and catches Raven with another finisher in her arsenal; Bitch Break (Single knee Codebreaker). Amber scrambles to cover Raven as Mei happily slides down to make the count.

One...
Two...

The crowd goes wild making the three count but Mei stop at 2.9 as Raven lifts a shoulder off the mat just in time.

The crowd groans in disappointment as Mei looks on in disbelief. Amber runs her hands through her hair, cursing under her breath as she thought for sure that would’ve ended it. Raven rolls in the corner looking to pull herself up, but Amber stays on her heels cornering her for the 10-Punches to the skull. In tradition, the crowd counts along only until four as Raven reaches up pulling and almost completely ripping Amber’s top, nearly causing Nipple-Gate 2013. Raven pushes Amber off while she hangs on to the ropes to stay on her feet. Amber lands on her back and rolls to her knees doing her best to hid herself containing her ‘girls’ in the now torn top. Before Mei could perform her referee duties and help, Raven charges out of the corner with a devastating Punt, kicking Amber’s head clean off her shoulders. Raven drops to her knees able to look Mei directly in her eyes as she pins Amber.

One...
Two...

Mei briefly pauses looking for a sign of consciousness from Amber, but nothing. Mei slams her hand down for the “THREE!” and calls for the bell naming Raven the winner of this match.



Raven makes it up to her feet greeted by the jeers of those in attendance. She places her boot on Amber’s chest bowing to them in return. She exits the ring with a Cheshire smile as Mei looks on with disgust before checking on Amber. Doubling back around the ring, out of Mei’s view, Raven grabs the Women’s Title and slides back in the ring smashing it in the back of Mei Long’s head. As The Beautiful Dragon drops out cold, Raven stands over her body, holding the belt high in the air, smiling and laughing, proud of her actions, as GZWA fades to another commercial break.

After the mysterious attack from earlier, The Phenomenal One is seen sitting on the bench in his locker room. He's not sure what kind of condition he's in after the chair shots, but AJ's a fighter, and he's not going to let that deter him from competing. As he's preparing for his mixed tag team match coming up, his thoughts drift to his title defense which has been made into a triple threat match, and his girlfriend, Mei Long's match defending her championship as well. Just as his mind continues to wonder, a knock at the door breaks his thought, as he returns to the moment. He shakes his head to clear his head, and stands up to walk over to the door, opening it and expecting to see his girlfriend. Instead, however, is his tag team partner for the night, Lise Starr on the other side of the door. AJ seems a little surprised as he sees her there.

Lise, hi, what's going on?

Lise Starr looks up at AJ Styles and folds her arms.

"Hi AJ. Expecting someone else, weren't you? Like Mei Long?" She rolled her eyes. "I'm going to get this out of the way first so excuse me, it's obvious I'm not a fan of her after what happened last year so it's sort of awkward teaming up with her boyfriend. However, you're lucky that I'm willing to forget all about that for tonight."

“I completely understand, Lise, but I want you to know that I don't hold anything against you. What happened between you and Mei is in the past, and between you two. Anyway, what's on your mind?”

"We gotta win tonight. We have to. I know you want to beat one of the masked freaks before Slammiversary to prove yourself more as the World Champion. Meanwhile I've been dealing with a crazed screwball who happens to also be named AJ, as much as I plan on brutally hurting her at the pay-per-view, I have to beat her tonight. It's a good way to get into her head."

“Woah, Lise, slow down.” AJ steps out of the locker room and into the hallway, shutting the door behind him and taking a deep breath. “You're right. I can't wait until Slammiversary to defeat either one of my opponents and make sure I remain champion, but that's not tonight. I can't say that I know what you're going through, because what AJ Lee did on Primetime was extremely personal and beyond forgivable if I can put my two cents in. In the meantime, it's not about getting in her head.”

“Look, I know we don't know each other very well, but we both know that what AJ did was wrong, and you don't need to get in her head, but you do need to beat her tonight. I'll make sure to do what I can in my power to help.”

"Well, she sorta has done a job of getting into my head a little I admit. I can't stop thinking about the shit she did to me, it's been on my mind way too much. Usually that's a bad thing but right now it isn't because I have a lot of aggressive thoughts in my mind which is why I talk about hurting her so much..." She sighed. "Thanks anyway."

AJ casually puts a hand on Lise's shoulder, trying to be friendly.

“Lise, I know what it's like to have someone get in your head. It's happened more times than I care to admit. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing at all, I'm just saying to be careful. She ain't exactly the most sane person in the locker room. Anyway, I know that we're going to win tonight and we'll both do what we need to do to gain an advantage against our respective rivals. You're an awesome wrestler, and if you have to make an example out of AJ Lee tonight, then go for it.”

I've got to finish getting ready, but I'll see you out there tonight.

"I'll be fine. There's no need to worry about me. I've already had AJ smack my face with a ring bell so I'm prepared for whatever else she brings." Lise nodded. "Awesome, go get ready and I'll see you out there in the ring tonight. I better get ready myself, plus I have something to sort out before our match... see you later." Lise waved at AJ Styles with a smile and she walked out of the scene.

Slammiversary Preview - 3-on-3 Tag Team Match - The MisFits ("Hardcore Harlot" Amanda Cortez, "The Blackheart" Kat, and "Tattooed Beauty" Laura Jackson) vs. Queen Bee Mafia ("Showstoppin' Senorita" Mariah, "The Georgia Peach" Morgan Davis, "Miss Hell in Boots" Paige)

The Carter: What do you guys think about Paige’s chances in becoming officially part of the Queen Bee Mafia?
Francine: If you ask me, they shouldn’t be so picky about who they let in. The MisFits clearly have the numbers advantage in the wake of Tia Brooks’ absence and Kat’s departure, so Mariah and Morgan should take all the help they can get.
Prof. X: That’s fair enough, but you can’t blame them for being skeptical after being stabbed in the back by The Blackheart.

In the ring, Morgan Davis is first to start things off as Kat starts things off for The MisFits. The Georgia Peach opens with a Clothesline to Kat, who answers with a Jumping Arm Smash. Kat wastes no time to target the arm of Morgan Davis and applies the Black Smoke (Kimura Lock). Mariah races into the mix and races over to break the hold. Kat quickly tags out to Amanda and rolls out of the ring to escape an altercation with Mariah.

Mariah is held back by Referee Jacqueline Moore as she tried to pursue Kat as Amanda quickly dragged Morgan off the canvas by the arm and wrenching it behind her in a hammerlock position before violently smashing it back to the canvas. Morgan stands clenching her shoulder as Amanda closes in with a Fade to Black (Spear). Morgan leapfrogs over the spear and smashes Amanda into the corner with Flying Hip Attack. With Amanda sitting groggily in the corner, Morgan makes a wise decision to tag out to Paige.

Prof. X: The Georgia Peach might want to take it easy tonight. The last thing she needs is to risk getting injured before Slammiversary and have the odds against the Queen Bee Mafia even more than they already are.
Francine: As much as I don’t want to admit it, but it’s going to be QBM’s funeral come Slammiversary. Despite the stipulations added to their matches, we all know that The MisFits aren’t going to play fair. If that’s not bad enough, they have the numbers game on their side.
The Carter: That could be true, but who knows. Tia Brooks could come back and save them from this disaster.
Francine: Tia’s not going to be much help. Currently, The MisFits are running with 5 members to QBM’s own 2 or 3 at best. You can’t say that Paige is on their side completely either as they just happen to have mutual enemies at the moment.

Paige charges in with a running high knee to the face of Amanda before stomping her in the corner repeatedly. Paige takes a moment to unleash her signature scream as Laura grabs her by the hair and smashes her face-first into the turnbuckle. The Tattooed Beauty wants to inflict more pain to Miss Hell In Boots, but she’s ushered back to The MisFits’ own corner by Referee Jacqueline Moore. That break in Paige’s offense was all that the Hardcore Harlot needed to turn this match back into The MisFits’ favor as delivered a Swing Neckbreaker, followed by a Handspring Splash to Paige. Amanda covers Paige.

One…
Two…

Amanda pulls Paige’s shoulder off the canvas just as Mariah and Morgan motioned to assist to prolong Paige’s suffering. Amanda taunted Morgan and Mariah on the ring apron as she beckoned Paige to her feet, only to send her back down with Springboard Spin Kick. Once again, Amanda doesn’t pin her but drags Miss Hell In Boots in a side headlock to the MisFits’ corner. Kat and Laura each take turns kicking her in the midsection before the Tattooed Beauty tagged herself into this match.

Prof. X: After the hell these two Divas have put themselves through over the last few months on Primetime, we can expect that trend is going to continue here tonight.

Laura Jackson elevates Paige overhead and drops her over her knee in a vicious gutbuster. Laura sits on top rope and delivers a Diving Leg Drop straight down over Paige’s throat as Mariah and Morgan are forced to watch. Laura mocks Mariah, stomping her foot in preparation for a Super Kick. Paige ducks the incoming blow and kicks Laura repeatedly in the shin, causing her to drop down on one knee in pain. Paige delivers a Fisherman Buster in the center of the ring. Kat springboards back into the mix with a springboard enzuigiri, catching Paige just as she rose back to her feet. Both Divas are down as Jacqueline makes the double KO count.

1…
2…
3…
4…
5…
6...

Both Divas begin to show signs of life and crawl towards their respective corners. Amanda knocks Morgan and Mariah off the ring apron with a Triangle Dropkick while Kat drags Paige back into the center of the ring. Morgan Davis and Mariah motion to repay The MisFits’ favor but Rose and Casey stand in their way.

Back in the ring, Laura Jackson helps Paige back to her feet with a Tattoo This (Half Nelson Suplex) before dragging her back to her feet in side headlock. Laura motions for the Nighty-Night (Headlock/Body Scissors Combination) but Paige shoves her into the corner and delivers a series of shoulder thrusts. Once again, Paige unleashes her signature primal scream as she gets her second wind, but The MisFits are on the prowl to capitalize again. Paige spun around and greeted both Amanda and Kat with a Side Kick to the midsection before planting their skulls to the canvas with a Double DDT. With The MisFits down, Paige takes the opportunity to tag out to the Showstoppin’ Senorita herself.

Mariah immediately guns straight for Kat, who wastes no time rolling out out of the ring. Mariah turns around and comes face-to-face with her own sister, Amanda. Both sisters stare down until Amanda took the first move in the form of a hard slap to Mariah’s face. Mariah looks unfazed from the blow, despite the redness on her cheek. Amanda motions to slap her again but Mariah sends her to the canvas with To The Floor (Modified STO). Mariah glares at Kat wondering around at ringside before delivering a Handspring Corner Splash to the Tattooed Beauty. That was the plan until Laura Jackson vices her limbs around Mariah in a Body Scissors as she applies the Nighty-Night.

Mariah isn’t in the hold for long as Paige returns Laura’s gesture from earlier in this match and smashes the back of her skull into the turnbuckle, causing her to release the Showstoppin’ Senorita. Casey attempts to pull at Paige’s leg but the Georgia Peach drives her to the floor with #SitDown (Fame-Asser) after diving from the ring apron. To Mariah’s surprise, Kat takes the opportunity to tag herself into the match while Paige delivers a devastating Superplex from the top rope to the outside of the ring. Both Paige and Laura Jackson crash through the commentary table as chants of “Holy Shit!” echo throughout the crowd.

Prof. X: Someone might want to call the paramedics out here as both Paige and Laura aren’t moving after taking a hit like that.
Francine: Don’t be so quick to bring out the stretcher, Professor. Those girls are a lot tougher than some of the typical Barbie dolls on the Divas roster.
The Carter: Besides, I can perform CPR to any Divas that need medical attention!
Francine: I’m sure most Divas are fine with dying rather than having to live with the fact that you have violated them.

The former student and teacher stare down in front of this excited live crowd. Kat erupts into laughter as a wicked smile washes over her face. Mariah steps towards her and Kat strikes with the Crystal Cutter (RKO). Mariah counters by shoving her into the ropes and mounting her on her shoulders for the Thanx 4 Nuthin’ (Go To Sleep) on the rebound. Kat elbows Mariah on the side of the head repeatedly and swings her body as she slides off Mariah’s shoulders to capitalize with a Tornado-style Implant DDT.

Morgan Davis has had enough of watching from the sidelines and steps down from the ring apron. She snatches a steel chair from Zoey Valentine at ringside while Rose races over to stop Morgan’s “armed intervention”. The Georgia Peach greets Rose with Back in the ring, Kat races to the ropes and springboards with Leg Drop to the grounded Mariah. Mariah rolls out of harm’s way, allowing Kat to crash and burn. Mariah hits the O.O.C (Moonlight Drive) on Kat just as she attempted to rise back to her feet. Mariah pumps up the crowd as she stomps her foot in preparation for the Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music). Kat staggers to her feet as Mariah closes in… and rolls out of harm’s way. Kat returns the favor by applying the Black Smoke (Kimura Lock) to Mariah. Mariah instantly drops to her knees as she succumbs to the pain, but she’s not in the hold for long as Morgan Davis intervenes with a chair shot to the face of Kat, swatting her off of the Showstoppin’ Senorita instantly. Referee Jacqueline Moore has no choice but to disqualify Morgan Davis and give The MisFits the win in this match.





Prof. X: I don’t blame the Georgia Peach for that decision. It’s better to lose the match via DQ than risk Mariah’s health prior to Slammiversary.
Francine: I don’t think Morgan Davis had a choice in the matter. The MisFits are surrounding the ring.
The Carter: This isn’t going to end well…

Morgan Davis trying to help Mariah to her feet as she cautiously looks at Rose Cortez, Casey Cortez, and Laura Jackson circling around the ring. All three invade the ring. Morgan Davis greets Rose with chair shot to the midsection but she’s disarmed and held at bay by Casey Cortez sneaking up from behind. Casey holds Morgan in Full Nelson position as the Hardcore Harlot shook off the cobwebs and delivered a #1 Stunna (Stone Cold Stunner) to the Georgia Peach. Kat wipes the blood from her forehead and licks it off her fingers sensually before ordering Rose and Casey to stand Mariah up. Amanda slid the steel chair into position as Kat drilled Mariah's skull onto the steel with an Impaler DDT. Kat eagerly wants to inflict more pain to her former mentor, but Paige slides into the ring wielding another steel chair. Casey goes down from one chair shot, followed by Rose from another, while Laura closes in with Super Kick of her own, smashing the chair in Paige's face. With Mariah, Paige, and Morgan Davis laid out around the ring, Kat and Amanda led The MisFits out of the ring as the message has been delivered for Slammiversary.

The lights arena begin to blink red and blue as "The World Belongs to Me" by My Darkest Days blares over the loud speakers. The crowd starts going crazy as Jordan and Katie Hightower make their way down the ramp.



Prof X: Here comes "The Icon" Jordan Hightower and Catie Hightower. 
The Carter: These people are going crazy right now. It's been months since we seen Jordan or Katie Hightower on PrimeTime. What are they doing back now?
Francine: I'm more surprised these two still have a job around here.

Jordan and Katie enters the ring and continues to fire up the capacity crowd. Jordan gets handed a microphone.

Jordan Hightower: It's so great to be back here in GZWA. The Icon wants to say you people are the greatest fans in the world. Katie and I are going to make sure The Hightower name is remembered for a long.....t...i...

The lights start to flicker as Jordan and Katie seem confused.

Katie Hightower: What my brother was trying to say is that... The Hightowers are bac.....

The lights flicker again as a video package starts playing on the titantron.

Jordan: What in the blue monkey butt is going on around here? Who is playing with the lights? Have you no respect for "The Icon?"

The lights change to a red tinted color as "Answer To No One" by Colt Ford strikes up over the loud speakers. Jordan Hightower's eyes widen as the song kicks up a notch. The crowd let out a loud gasp when Dustin Holt walks through the curtain.



Dustin looks at the ring then points toward the back as "Shot In The Dark" by Within Temptation strikes up and Connie Wraith walks through the curtain.



Jordan and Katie Hightower still have a confused look on their face as Dustin Holt and Connie Wraith start walking down the ramp.

Prof X: Can someone please tell me what the hell is Dustin Holt doing back here?
Francine: Didn't you hear? Mr. Zeros signed him back a few weeks ago. Speaking of which, I think the Hightowers will be handed their walking papers... 
The Carter: As Good 'Ole JR would say "Business is about to pick up"

Connie hops onto the apron and remains there as Dustin enters the ring. Jordan shakes his head a little.

Jordan Hightower: What are you doing here Dustin? This is our time not yours. These people are waiting to see "The Icon."

Dustin looks at Jordan as he gets nose to nose.

Dustin Holt: When I was training you, I didn't mind you using "The Icon" nickname but since you are no longer my protege. I want my nickname back.

Jordan Hightower: Dustin, we are still your proteges. We want to make you proud.

Dustin looks at Jordan then drops him with a DKO. Katie's eyes go wide as Connie strikes her with a vicious Halo Spark (Spear). Dustin bounces the microphone off the head of Jordan as he stands back up.

Dustin Holt: Jordan, you have lots to learn about this business and about me. You worshipped the ground I walked on Jordan, not realizing that the ground you were following would crumble underneath you eventually. The Python has returned and he's got new people surrounding him. Like for example, The Dark Lord and The Dark Angel. I am coiled ready to strike any helpless soul who gets in my way. The time is slowly coming for everyone on the GZWA roster. The Dark Enterprises are here and we are going to take everyone straight to hell. I just want to say one thing to every single one of you in the locker room, in the arena and watching at home....WELCOME TO MY HELL!!!!

"Answer To No One" strikes up as Dustin and Connie poses inside the ring while Primetime takes a commercial break.

Fatal 4 Way Match - Tyler Storm vs. Josiah Christiansen (w/ Connie Wraith) vs. "The Statement" Victor Phillips vs. Leon Torres

As Primetime returns from commercial break, the cameras catch the opening of this match as The Statement and Leon Torres erupt into a brawl at the start of the match after Leon entered the ring. It wasn’t long before the two warring Superstars were caught off guard by the newly formed duo of Tyler and Josiah.

Prof. X: Given the tension that was raised between these Leon Torres and Victor Phillips exponentially over the last few weeks, it’s no surprise that these two Superstars are so hungry for this opportunity to tear each other apart.
The Carter: Looks like Slammiversary can’t come sooner enough for them…
Francine: I’m more intrigued at this newly formed partnership between Tyler Storm and Josiah Christiansen. I suppose those two have to stay on the same page with the members of INked not taking too kindly to their loses over the last few weeks.

Tyler Storm rebounds from the ropes with a Storm Front (Rebound Clothesline) to the waking Victor Phillips. The Statement counters with a Release German Suplex. To the surprise of the crowd, Leon capitalizes with Springboard Cross Body for a pin.

The Carter: Who would have thought they would work together in this match?
Francine: I doubt it’s going to last...

One…
Two…
Wait!!

Josiah drags Leon Torres off of Tyler Storm with an application of the Ankle Lock. The Statement breaks with a Step-Up Enzuigiri to the back of the head to stun Josiah momentarily, allowing him to follow-up with a Belly to Belly Suplex. The Statement then ascends the turnbuckle and takes flight with the intentions of a Diving Moonsault but the waking Tyler Storm shook the ropes to cause The Statement to fall back on top of the turnbuckle. Tyler Storm took full advantage of Victor’s folly and capitalized with an Avalanche Powerbomb from the corner into a kneeling pin.

One…
Two…
Th---NO!!

Leon Torres breaks the pin with a baseball slide to Tyler’s face. Leon drags Tyler to his feet and delivers a Reverse Twist of Fate on top of The Statement’s prone body. Looking for the coup de grace, Leon Torres hits the ropes and rebounded with a Springboard Splash onto both grounded Superstars before covering them both.

One…
Two…
Thr---WAIT!!

Josiah Christiansen drags Leon away from the potential victory in his grasp with another Ankle Lock. Leon attempts to counter with an Enzuigiri with his free foot but Josiah backs out of harm’s way to evade after releasing the hold prematurely. Josiah Christiansen retorts with a point-blank Cross Spike (Samoan Spike), turning Leon Torres inside out upon impact. Connie Wraith is shown applauding at ringside as he covers Leon Torres.

The Carter: I gotta admit. Connie’s not bad on the eyes…
Francine: Are we so quick to forget what Connie's good friend, Dustin Holt, did to the Hightower Siblings earlier tonight?
The Carter: Good point. Besides, there’s plenty of other SINGLE Divas on the GZWA roster…
Prof. X: Each of these Superstars are hungry for a win tonight on our last broadcast before Slammiversary.

One…
Two…
Thr--NO!!

The pin is broken up by The Statement as he drags Josiah off of Leon and applies the Final Statement (Texas Cloverleaf). Josiah has nowhere to go and is literally about to lower his hand to the canvas, ready to submit when Tyler breaks the hold with a well-placed Jumping Reverse Bulldog (Zig-Zag). Tyler Storm motions to make the cover, but Leon Irish whips him into the corner. Leon pursues his prey into the corner and delivers the Dashing By (Shining Wizard). Leon Torres follows up with a Running Bulldog out of the corner before applying The Lockdown (Crippler Crossface) in the center of the ring. That was the plan as The Statement drags Leon off the floor and delivers the VIP Treatment (Vertebreaker). Before The Statement could take the win for himself, Josiah Christiansen connects with the Darkness Begins (Cravate Suplex) before covering The Statement himself.

One…
Two…
Three!!!



Immediately following the bell, both Greg Ramirez, Keri Cruz, and Chanel Rodriguez could be seen racing through the crowd and hopping over the ringside barricade. Chanel caught Connie Wraith by surprise in a Sleeper Hold before transitioning to a Sleeperslam to send her to the ringside floor while Keri Cruz delivers a Running Bicycle Kick to Josiah Christiansen, who was completely unaware to INked’s presence. Greg Ramirez slingshot himself into the ring with a Springboard 450 Splash to the grounded Josiah. Greg Ramirez then helps an already battered and exhausted Tyler Storm to his feet as Keri Cruz delivers another Running Bicycle Kick. Ramirez drops him back down to the canvas with a Russian Legsweep to complete this Murda-ville Suite.

Prof. X: It looks like INked fired the first shot as we head towards Slammiversary.
Francine: Yeah, if they catch Josiah Christiansen and Tyler Storm off guard at Slammiversary then INked will have managed to capture a win on the grandest stage of them all.

Singles Match - Danielle Bradley vs. El Arrendajo Ardiente

Prof. X: This should be a match to for the ages, GZWA fans. Both of these competitors are set to face the reigning GZWA World Heavyweight Champion and GZWA Television Champion, respectively, at Slammiversary.
Francine: Maybe we can finally see the Bradley Siblings put an end to their family feud at Slammiversary, but can’t be too much room for that after all the Hardcore Monster is part of that triple threat match as well.
The Carter: Don’t forget the added bonus that Justice happened to “convince” the GZWA Chairman to make her the special referee to that title match.
Francine: More like she fell back into her old ways… Going down on Mr. Zeros until she got what she wanted… I wonder how Brooklyn feels about that turn of events?
The Carter: To be fair, Mr. Zeros is still on the singles market despite having a kid with her. Besides, show me a man who can resist Justice!
Prof. X: Carter, I think you are forgetting that Carnage has somehow managed to make himself immune to Justice’s “charms”. We’re going to have to wait until Slammiversary on how that will play out in the TV title match as tonight is El Arrendajo Ardiente and Danielle Bradley’s last chance to show their worth to their competition before the big event.

At the sound of the opening bell, both competitors lock-up. El AA gains the upper hand as he wrenches Danielle’s arm behind her in a hammerlock position. She doesn’t allow this to slow her down as Danielle clips El AA’s feet from underneath him with a low sweep. El AA kips back up to his feet and delivers an arm drag to the incoming Danielle. El AA follows up with a running senton only for Danielle to roll out of the way and deliver a standing moonsault. El AA defends with his knees up. El AA races back to his feet and delivers a hurracanrana, only for Dani to powerbomb him to the canvas in kneeling powerbomb pin.

One…
Two…
Thr--NO!!

El AA transitions to roll-up to turn the tables.

One…
Two…
Thr--NO!!

Both stand up to ovation from the cheering crowd as they are seemingly done with the ‘warm-up’.

The Carter: (Whistles) As always, Danielle is looking good in there.
Francine: I don’t think Mike would take too kindly to you checking out his sister like she’s a piece of meat.
Prof. X: Neither of these competitors are looking to be a pushover in tonight’s contest. I hope both AJ Stlyes and Mike Bradley are backstage taking notes.
Francine: I think Styles is more concerned with who attacked him earlier tonight.

Danielle and El AA circle each other around the ring, until Dani makes the first move, delivering a series of right hooks. She stops her offense momentarily to space herself with a backflip before returning with a clothesline. El AA ducks the swing and capitalizes with the Predator (Shiranui). Danielle makes a desperate counter by shoving him over the top rope as El AA runs up the nearby corner post. She rebounds from the ropes and springboards off the top rope with a Springboard Missile Dropkick to the waking El AA, knocking him across the ringside area and into the corner of the barricades.

As the crowd utters a collective “OOOHH!!” after the impact from the last blow, Dani signals for the D-Train (Elijah Express) as El AA slumps down to the bottom of the the barricade. She charges in for the kill but El AA flips himself up on top of the barricade as she impacts into the wall instead and falls onto her spine. El AA capitalizes with a Split-Legged Corkscrew Moonsault (Starship Pain). Back in the ring, Referee Slick Johnson makes ring out count of 5 as El AA races back into the ring.

Prof. X: This isn’t looking good for Danielle. It was looking like she was going to win this until El Arrendajo Ardiente took advantage of her mistake and she paid for it dearly. It’s mistakes like those that could see the gold change hands at Slammiversary.

6…
7…
8…
9...

Danielle barely has time to roll back into the ring before the 10 count. El AA greets her with Predator’s KO (Shuffle Side Kick to Buzzsaw Kick). Dani ducks the kick and rolls him up with School Boy.

One…
Two…
Thr--NO!!

Danielle doesn’t lose her determination to win as she delivers a Leg Lariat to the waking El AA, only for him to counter with an explosive Northern Lights Suplex into a bridging pin.

One…
Two…
Thre---NO!!

El AA looks in disbelief before climbing the turnbuckle and watching his prey. El AA struck with a Diving Clothesline. Danielle grabs his arm in motion and counters with an application of the Cross Armbreaker. Referee Slick Johnson slides into position, looking for any signs from the masked luchador to show that he is ready to submit to the hold and eliminate any risks for injury before Slammiversary.

The Carter: Is he going to tap??

El AA is mere moments away from submitting before draping his foot underneath the bottom rope, forcing Danielle to break the hold. Danielle is reluctant to break the hold and shows her mean streak by keeping the hold applied until a count of 4 before releasing it.

The Carter: Danielle really wants to win this!
Francine: Can you blame her? It’s all about sending a message to your competition before GZWA’s biggest event of the year.
Prof. X: Given all of the hell and angst that El Arrendajo Ardiente has caused AJ Styles over the last few months, it would be no surprise that he is looking to do the same.

El AA staggers back to his feet, clenching his arm as Danielle shows no remorse as she motions to continue her offense in the form of a knife-edged chop to the chest. She follows suit with another, but a spinning back kick to the midsection gives El AA the breather he needs. Danielle doubles over and drops to her knees as El AA signals for the Sunset Flip Powerbomb. Danielle counters with a handstand Hurracanrana. Both competitors race back to their feet and hit the ropes. El AA struck first with a Flying Wheel Kick, but Danielle answers with a Float-over DDT, drilling the masked luchador to the canvas. Danielle wastes no time ascending the turnbuckle and hitting the D-Bomb (Corkscrew Moonsault) before hooking El AA’s leg for the pin.

One…
Two…
Three!!



Prof. X: An impressive win from the eldest Bradley sibling. Let’s see if her brother fares any better in the following match after this commercial break.

Slammiversary Preview - Singles Match (Non-Title) - GZWA Television Champion "Meta" Mike Bradley vs. "The Hardcore Monster" Carnage

Prof. X: Welcome back, GZWA fans. We have two more helpings on our Slammiversary sampler platter to end tonight’s broadcast, starting with the GZWA Television Champion in action up next.
Francine: We already seen Danielle put on a stellar showing against El Arrendajo Ardiente. Let’s see if her brother can do the same against the Hardcore Monster.
The Carter: I think Mike drew the short straw when it came to opponents to face before GZWA’s biggest event of the year. Carnage isn’t going to go down easy.
Francine: Hmph, Mike is always bragging about how good he is. Let’s see him put his money where his mouth is.
Prof. X: That being said, you can guarantee that Carnage is going to give Mike a preview of what him and Danielle will be up against at Slammiversary when the championship is on the line.
The Carter: I’m sure Danielle is backstage taking notes.

The match starts Mike making a valiant charge at the Hardcore Monster. Carnage counters with Swinging Spin-out Sideslam (Black Hole Slam). TV Champion counters into application of the Boston Strangler (Rear Naked Choke with Body Scissors). The pain brings Carnage down on one knee but it’s not enough to put him away this early in the match. He summons the strength to get back up and charge into the corner, ramming Mike into the turnbuckle. Mike continues to hold on as Carnage charges into opposite corner post. After the Hardcore Monster impacts into the third corner post, Mike Bradley finally gives up the ghost and releases the hold as he slumps into the corner. Carnage delivers a series of multiple back elbows into Mike as he stood helpless in the corner. Carnage hits the ropes and returns into the corner with a Body Splash, causing Mike Bradley to stagger out of the corner and into the pending Pumphandle Slam to the canvas and into a pin.

One…
Two…
Th--WAIT!!

Mike manages to drape his foot on the bottom rope just as referee Slick Johnson is about to count to three. Carnage drags Mike’s upper body out onto the ring apron before delivering leg drop on the ring apron (Undertaker-style). Mike rolls out of the way and slingshots himself over the top rope to smash Carnage’s face on the ring apron with the Bitch Please (One-Handed Bulldog). Carnage rolls down onto the ringside floor upon impact and slowly rises back to his feet. Mike takes the opportunity to hit the Brookline Bridge (Spear, sans the bridge in this situation) driving Carnage’s spine into the steel steps. Mike clenches his shoulder after the collision, but manages to crawl back into the ring as the ring out count is up to 6.

6…
7…
8…

Carnage follows after the count of 8. Mike greets Carnage with a Running High Knee as he steps over the top rope and capitalizes with rope-assisted Jumping DDT. Mike goes for the pin.

One…
Two…
NO!!

Carnage powers out after 2 count. Mike breakdances to his feet with a spinning headstand before dropping a leg drop over the throat of the Hardcore Monster. Carnage catches the leg in motion and shoves it away, causing Mike to roll back. Mike kips back up to his feet and greets the waking Hardcore Monster with a series of right hooks before backflipping away briefly and returning with a running clothesline. Carnage elevates him overhead and drops him onto the ropes with a Military Press Stungun. The Hardcore Monster targets Mike’s ailing shoulder with a Shoulder Breaker. As Mike writhes in pain, Carnage smashes Mike’s arm to the canvas and applies a Fujiwara Armbar.

The Carter: Who knew that Carnage had a submission background? Consider this guy mindblown!
Francine: Believe it or not, but the Hardcore Monster brings a lot more to the table than your typical big powerhouse.

As he fought through the pain, Mike manages to place his foot on the bottom rope. Carnage doesn’t release the hold and wrenches it tighter, forcing the TV Champion to submit.

The Carter: Look! The TV Champ is tapping out!
Francine: As much as I would love to see Mike lose this, get your facts straight, Carter.
Prof. X: This match isn’t over, as Mike had his foot on the bottom rope. The Hardcore Monster refused to break the hold. Mike is wisely choosing the lesser of two evils rather than risk injury before Slammiversary.

Carnage gets shoves Slick Johnson in the corner for not naming him the winner of the match after Mike submitted. Despite his current state of complete terror of what the Hardcore Monster might do, Slick points to Mike’s foot placed onto the bottom rope. Carnage doesn’t listen what Slick has to say as he grasps his throat in a Two-Handed Choke.Mike makes the save in the form of a running dropkick but inadvertently causes Carnage to sandwich Slick in the corner with impromptu Corner Splash. Mike hits the ropes again and closes in as Carnage spun around with Double Axe Handle to greet the TV champion, only for Mike to deliver a low dropkick to the Hardcore Monster’s shin. Mike follows up with a Shining Wizard, but Carnage sends Mike overhead, causing him to impact into the waking Slick in the corner. Mike motioned to help Slick to his feet after his blunder but Carnage capitalizes with the Burning Hammer (Reverse Death Valley Driver) and covers Mike. Carnage motions to drag Slick back to life by force, if necessary, but Mike shows he’s not out of his as he applies the Meta Lock (Grapevine Ankle Lock). With Mike’s body vised around his leg, the Hardcore Monster has nowhere to go and reluctantly taps out to the pain. Once again, there is no official to call this end result.

With Referee Slick Johnson knocked out, there is no one to make the count nor make the final decision until “Our Time” fills the air. The Voluptuous Vixen stands at the top of the entrance ramp with a microphone in hand grinning from ear to ear as she surveys the situation in the ring. She raises the microphone to her lips to make her verdict on this situation.



Justice: “Now isn’t this a delightful mess that you two have managed to make of this match? Since Slick isn’t in any condition to continue acting as the official for this match, I’m going to declare that this match is a double disqualification, due to both Superstars getting physical with the in-ring official. I can guarantee that will not be a problem at Slammiversary as Xion has granted me with the honor of being the special guest referee for the GZWA Television Championship match. There won’t be anyone getting ‘physical’ with this referee -- that is unless you boys want to shag afterwards.

Prof. X: I was wondering when Justice was going to make that decision official here tonight. She did have an ‘unique’ way of convincing the GZWA Chairman towards her way of thinking.
Francine (rolling her eyes): Oh yeah… A woman sticking their tongue down a guy’s throat after forcing herself on top of him is a great way to change someone’s mind…
The Carter: I wish Justice could come over here and convince me to see things on her level.

Justice winks towards the two Superstars in the ring as they look confused as Primetime takes a commercial break.

In the backstage of the GZWA arena, we see AJ Lee skipping before stopping to stand by a mirror, still wearing the leather jacket that she had worn during her promo to mock AJ Styles. Throwing the hood down, she bends forward slightly, giggling at her reflection.

“Why hello there, beautiful! How’re you? You’re looking amazing tonight. I know, right? Nothing like that practically ginger bimbo that I’m gonna make bleed again tonight! I really hope she accepts that street fight offer, I wanna hurt her so bad…”

Almost getting turned on by her desire to cause pain, AJ moves closer to her mirror reflection, leaning on the upper leg of the mirror to further ogle herself. Appearing in the mirror was AJ’s now rival, Lise Starr who had her arms folded and looked slightly disgusted, with her sudden appearance causing AJ to flinch and fall over.

“Jeez, why don’t you just buy a vibrator? Seems you’re always so turned on by everything you see in sight.”

It turns out Lise had witnessed AJ in the halls and decided to surprise her by standing behind her to appear in the mirror. AJ only chuckles and puts the hood of her jacket up.

“What’s the matter, Lise? I thought you had a thing for leather jackets, you jealous that I like myself more than you now? Come on... I thought you were better than that, babe!”

For moment, AJ leans forward as if to mock Lise by kissing her before throwing back and laughing, pulling her hood down.

”Nah, I forgot. You’re just a stupid hussy. Why don’t you go away and let me deal with you in the ring before we don’t even have a match because I’ll kick your ass and make you bleed all over the floors now. By the way, you’re one to talk about vibrators, I had ears when you were alone in the shower…”

“Oh please, stop trying to act like your fantasies about me in the shower actually happened. What’s next? You’ll say that we spent a few nights together? ..Oh god, this is like talking about fanfiction of us that probably exists. By the way, these aren’t the only things you have fantasies about, right? I know you like masks, handcuffs, more than one person added to the party if you know what I mean… don’t ya? I bet you wanted to get involved with me and Punk once before you lost your marbles, right?”

AJ begins to cackle wildly, throwing her arms out and walking behind Lise before putting her arm around her and resting her head on her shoulder.

“Oh Lise. Poor, pathetic little Lise... My life does not revolve around you. It would not have been the pinnacle of my lifetime to have leaped into bed with your stupid, idiotic, drunk, abused, wished to be aborted ass and your pretentious boyfriend... Get your head out of your ass, babe.”

With this, AJ extends her arm around Lise’s shoulder up and gives her a condescending but soft and insulting slap to the face with a sadistic smirk on her face. Lise just laughs and also places her arm around AJ’s shoulder.

“You’re so funny! You’re also ugly, stupid and a whore. Did I mention you’re a whore? Hahaha… why don’t we make a reality show about our girly, petty fights!?”

Suddenly, Lise moves the arm she put around AJ’s shoulder and grabs her by the hair. She also uses her other arm to grab more hair, throwing her against a locker that was placed in the hallways. After AJ’s petite frame hit the locker, Lise quickly presses her against the locker with a hand placed on her neck.

“I have had enough of this petty shit. Did you really think I was just gonna appear and tell pathetic insults after what you did to me? I am not like the other women in this company who are more focused on the kind of words to use against their opponents instead of the kind of punishment they need. What you did… it was unforgivable… it was something that makes you deserve to have your face bashed in!”

Struggling to breathe with Lise’s hand crushing her neck, AJ struggles for a moment before giving up and quietly chuckling to herself.

“Congrats, Lise. You’ve finally come full circle. You used to be the wallflower and now here you are, the school bully, holding me up and demanding my lunch money. Whatevs, come on in, hit me. I want it…”

Sticking her tongue out mockingly, AJ continues laughing as she strokes Lise’s arm almost flirtatiously, which she only rolls her eyes at.

“You’re calling me a bully? Despite what many in the locker room think, this is not high school, AJ. I am doing this because I want you to know how serious I am about hurting you. Tonight I promise not to hurt you too much because it will only be a tiny sample of what I am gonna do at Slammiversary. I want you to suffer which is why I totally accept a Street Fight. On that night I am going to make sure you end up in a coma.”

“I’m real flattered, Lise... You already destroyed something beautiful in what we had, so why not break the shards that was us into powder by trying to destroy me too? If you want to do that, nothing’s stopping you now. Go on, put me in a coma if you want it so badly.”

AJ extends her arms out and closes her eyes, smirking as she expects Lise’s reaction, which is that of disgust.

“Stop trying to make me look like the monster because you are the one who ruined our friendship. Maybe you shouldn’t have been so clingy, maybe you shouldn’t have busted my face open with a ring bell! Besides, you are right AJ, why wait until Slammiversary? Nothing is stopping me.”

Looking like she is about to murder AJ, Lise raises her free hand up and looks like she is about to throw a hard punch into AJ’s face, which makes the unstable minded girl yelp in a extremely high pitched voice and cover her face with her hands like a child. Instead, Lise surprises her by hitting her in... the ear. After laughing to herself, Lise moves her other hand from AJ’s neck and releasing her. Holding her ear in pain, AJ curses and groans.

“Motherfu.. You hit me in the ear! Why the ear, man?”

“Ha! Why should I hurt you now when I can do it in many different ways at the pay-per-view?”

Still grasping at her ear in pain, AJ puts her free arm up and gives Lise the middle finger.

“Hurt this, you stupid bitch…”

After showing a smirk, Lise bursts out laughing thanks to AJ’s reaction from before being hit to then receiving a punch in the ear.

“See you in the ring! I hope you enjoy your second last match.”

Continuing to laugh, Lise walked away from AJ, heading out of the halls, while the humiliated AJ puts her hood up and covers her face.

Slammiversary Preview - Main Event: Mixed Tag Team Match - GZWA World Heavyweight Champion "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and "The Heartbreaker" Lise Starr vs. Hano Eiyu and "The Black Widow" AJ Lee

Prof. X: I must say, this is a rather unorthodox main event. AJ Styles and Hano Eiyu have nowhere as heated of a rivalry as the pure hatred between the Heartbreaker and the Black Widow.
Francine: AJ Lee is crazy - simple as that. I know, CM Punk knows, everyone watching at home knows it. Why Lise Starr put up with someone like that in her life for so long is beyond me…
The Carter: She’s not crazy. She’s just misunderstood. I’m sure I could turn her around.
Francine: Please, Carter. She’s crazy, not desperate enough to date you.
Prof. X: In either case, I’m anxious to see how Hano Eiyu deals with having AJ Lee as a partner in this Mixed Tag Team match.

Naturally, AJ Styles and Hano Eiyu start the match off with the Divas waiting patiently on the ring apron. Despite having to face each other at Slammiversary, Styles and Hano Eiyu start the match off with a fist bump before locking up. Styles whips Hano Eiyu into the ropes, who rebounds with a High Speed Roundhouse Kick, knocking the Phenomenal One to the canvas. Hano Eiyu springboards from the nearby ropes with an impressive Corkscrew Senton and hooks Styles’ leg into a pin.

One…
Two…
WAIT!!

Styles rolls over with Eiyu in tow as reverses the pin into the Styles Clash.

One…
Two…
NO!!

Crowd applauds the two Superstars’ performance as AJ Lee rolls her eyes at ringside while Lise Starr is shown staring daggers at the Black Widow from the other side of the ring.

The Carter: I’ve seen that hunger in a woman’s eyes a million times. It’s pure lust.
Francine: How many times have I told you, Carter? You need to get your eyes checked. The only thing between Lise Starr and AJ Lee is pure hate. The only lust between them is the crap written by horny fangirls on message boards!

Styles continues his offense with a Discus Clothesline. Hano Eiyu counters with a Moonsault Side Slam. He adds a Springboard Moonsault for good measure, but Styles defends with his knees up. Styles kips back up to his feet and capitalizes with a Running Swinging Neckbreaker after Hano Eiyu staggers to his feet holding his abdomen. Styles steps out onto the ring apron and motions for a Springboard 450 Splash but AJ Lee clips Styles’ footing, causing him to fall awkwardly into the ring. As Styles staggered back to his feet, Hano Eiyu struck with a Tirl-a-Whirl Hurracanrana. Styles caught Hano Eiyu off-guard with a Rack Bomb (Backbreaker rack to Powerbomb) counter into a pin.

One…
Two…
T---NO!!

Hano Eiyu counters by rolling back with a dropkick to Styles’ face. He springs back to his feet and rebounds from the ropes with a Springboard Elbow Drop to Styles’ chest before retorting with a pin of his own.

??

The Carter: What's going on?

Referee Hebner doesn't count as AJ Lee tagged herself in with a blind tag during his springboard attack. Due to mixed tag rules, both Divas are now the legal competitors in this match. Lise charges in and greets AJ with a Spear to the canvas before smashing her skull to the canvas repeatedly. Hebner urges the Heartbreaker to stop before she finds herself disqualified. Lise takes a moment to come to grips with her anger, but AJ Lee takes full advantage of this opening. She races to her feet and strikes hard with a Flash Kick (Running Jumping Knee Attack). The blow knocks Lise on her knees as AJ hits the ropes and follows up with a Shining Wizard. Lise counters by tossing her overhead. AJ Lee lands safely on the top of the turnbuckle and connects with a Diving Bulldog as the Heartbreaker spun around. After impacting on the canvas, Lise pushes herself off the canvas on all fours, but AJ sends her back down with a Fame-Asser before going for a quick pin.

One…
Two…
Th--NO!!

AJ Lee pulls at her own hair in frustration as she argues the count with Referee Earl Hebner. She applies a Standing Dragon Sleeper to the Heartbreaker, but Lise counters with an inverted Jawbreaker before the hold is properly applied to free herself. With AJ momentarily stunned, Lise delivers a Snap Suplex to leave the Black Widow writhing on the canvas as she hit the ropes. Lise rebounds with a Springboard Tornado DDT as AJ rose back to her feet. As AJ’s skull bounced off the canvas, the Heartbreaker raced over to make the pin.

One…
Two…
Th--NO!!

Lise dragged AJ off the canvas with a German Suplex, but AJ lands safely behind the Heartbreaker. AJ shoves Lise into the ropes with an Irish whip. The Heartbreaker rebounds with a Yakuza Kick, only for AJ Lee to stop her in her tracks with a Low dropkick. With Lise Starr down on her knees, AJ locks in Black Widow (Octopus Stretch) on the Heartbreaker.

Prof. X: If AJ Lee locks this in at Slammiversary it could be game over for the Heartbreaker.
Francine: Let’s see if Lise has a few quarters left for an extra life to turn this match back around into her favor.
The Carter: This would be the perfect time for the Contra Code…
Francine: Wrong game, Carter. Besides, I don’t think CM Punk would be too happy for you ‘helping’ out his girlfriend...

Lise looks ready to submit as she drops to her knees, but valiantly stands back up and delivers a Sidewalk Slam to counter. AJ slowly rose back to her feet, holding her back as the Heartbreaker executed a Michinoku Driver. Lise hooks the leg upon impact in a pin of her own.

One…
Two…
Th--NO!!

Lise beckons AJ to her feet and closes in with a Starrstruck (Super Kick). AJ ducks the blow and makes dive towards the corner. Obviously, AJ Lee has enough abuse from the Heartbreaker and tags out to Hano Eiyu and retreats up the entrance ramp. Lise Starr chases behind her as this match continues as a one-on-one match.

Prof. X: It looks like Lise Starr and AJ Lee are taking their fight on the road. We’ll try to get a camera backstage as soon as we can GZWA fans. For now, it seems like we’re getting an one-on-one preview of Slammiversary’s GZWA World Heavyweight Championship match.
The Carter: It’s on like Donkey Kong now… Lise Starr is chasing AJ Lee like Super Mario trying to save Daisy from Donkey Kong!
Francine: Definitely the wrong time and place for that video game reference, Carter.

Styles greets Hano Eiyu with another Discus Clothesline but Eiyu sends him into the corner with an Irish Whip. Hano Eiyu pursued his prey into the corner with a Running High Roundhouse Kick, but Styles rolls out of harm’s way. Eiyu hits the breaks in time and turns around right into a Pele Kick from out from nowhere.

Just as AJ Styles sought out to finish this, the lights go out and come back on to show El Arrendajo Ardiente in the ring, surprised to be alone. AJ Styles and Hano Eiyu are ringside, armed with steel chairs. El AA looks to both Superstars cautiously before they both slide into the ring in unison. Styles and Hano Eiyu deliver a Con-Chair-to to the masked luchador, leaving him out cold in the middle of the ring. Both Styles and Hano Eiyu discard their weapons and look down at their defeated foe briefly before shaking hands. Hano Eiyu points to the Slammiversary banner above as Styles nods eagerly.



Prof. X: Tonight, both Hano Eiyu and AJ Styles have been able to to co-exist against the common threat of El Arrendajo Ardiente, but all bets are off at Slammiversary when the GZWA World Heavyweight Championship is on the line! Thanks for tuning in GZWA fans. Stay tuned for ReAction!
