Official GZWA Primetime Theme: I Want It All / We Will Rock You [Mash-Up] - Queen (feat. Armageddon)
Recorded Date: August 1, 2014
Air Date: August 15, 2014
*Electrik Red’s “Muah” plays throughout the dark arena as a spotlight appears on the stage. The already loud jeers turn up to deafening when Tina Angel, Amber and the GZWA Women’s Champion, Raven, step out into the spotlight. Raven, with her arms outstretch and a smile on her face, bows before patting the title on her shoulder. Amber stood on one side with a smug look on her face enjoying the reaction while Tina observed the crowd with a smirk on her face. The three make their way down to the ring with Raven being the first to grab a mic. She waits for the audience to calm down before speaking.*
”You know, I had a lot of time to think about my actions from Final Encounter. I don’t know what came over me. I was just in some kind of zone to just be over the top with it and to keep going & going and I didn’t have the voice inside my head to tell me to stop. Of course I’m talking about when I said I would constantly remind you people that I am the Women’s Champion.”
*Out of all the things she did at Final Encounter THAT is what she was apologizing for? Heffa. The crowd responds accordingly before she starts speaking again*
”Let me give you people a history lesson. This title on my shoulder, while a badge of honor, full of prestige and all that, is a curse. Running down the list of women that have held this title before Moi; Karen Beth Zurich, Tia Brooks, Porscha, Beth Phoenix, Mei Long. What do all of them have in common? After winning and LOSING this title they have all either disappeared for good for whatever reason or have disappeared only to return to lackluster comebacks eventually getting their ass handed to them by the current champ.”
*Raven, of course, talking about Tia. She looks over to Amber sharing a smile remembering how they attacked Ms. Brooks*
”So after having a long talk with the boss, I decided to cash in the favor he owes me after I helped him dispose of the ‘trash’.”
*Raven looked over to Tina, referring to how they put Mei Long out of action; the favor Xion Zeros asked of Raven*
”Xion and I agreed. While this Women’s Championship title has been kissed by the greatness that is my reign, wiping away the disgrace of the holders before it, it’s time to put this plague of a belt to rest and bring in something that symbolizes The Ultimate Vixen’s superiority over the others. We came to an agreement that it’s time for me to usher in something more appropriate for Moi’s division that separates it from the other women’s divisions. Ladies and gentleman you are now looking at your last Women’s Champion as this title is now being retired. Praise and bask in the glory that is now…”
*Raven kneeled down, making sure not to expose nothing more than her legs in the micro mini she was wearing, to unzip a bag and pull out a white strapped title belt*
” ...Your first ever Vixen Champion!”
*Raven holds the title high in the air while strutting around the ring, soaking in the heat she was getting from the crowd. Checking her reflection in the title, she smiled at Tina walked up to the mic. The shocking news of the night was indeed the return of the one and only Hellcat of GZWA...who stares at the camera before tapping on the mic and clears her throat*
First and foremost, I want to say that I am happy to be back in GZWA....
*She says looking at her frenemy and bestie Raven, and then at Amber before looking back into the camera to continue to speak. But what exactly does she need to apologize for? I, mean nothing she done in the past before she apologized for. So, why should she start?*
For those who do not know who I am,let me re-introduce myself, my name is Angelica Williams...but to the wrestling fans I am known as Tina Angel. Yes, the same Tina Angel who like to cause drama everywhere she goes. The person who doesn't give a damn of what people think about her, but gives her fans something to talk about.And at Final Encounter, I did just that
*She says with a smile, looking at her fellow possible stable members. Does she feel responsible for hurting another person's career? Or possibly ending it? Somewhat, but that's what happens when you're in this line of work. There is no telling what will happen next*
Now, I get it you're pissed at me, I see you're blowing up my twitter and facebook page with 'why Tina why?' You know what, I don't need to answer to any of you on why I did what I did. I always know going into this business,you already made your bed, and somewhere in the future you will lie for your mistakes. Myself and Rae have been friends and rivals for years
*She says with a smirk looking at her. Knowing its true on so many levels and more but she is glad to be apart of her life*
But I'm not back as a active wrestler this time around.I have my reasons which i'll explain in due time, for my return, but if my girl needs help, I never let any of them down...so,that's why I returned...
*She says stepping back waiting for Rae to continue.*
”Now, while you all know what Tina and I did to Mei Long was a personal business favor asked of me from a..’friend’ backstage, I know you all are wondering about the lesson Tia had to be taught by me and my new, unexpected friend.”
*Raven looks over at Amber as the two share devilish Cheshire smiles. A turn of the night no one saw coming: Amber officially turning her back on Mariah and Tia’s help to align herself with the women who tormented her for almost all of last year. Raven handed Amber the mic with the crowd holding nothing back in showing their hate for her actions and their teaming together*
”How does one follow that up? Lets start with why and the how. All my life I had this blessing and a curse. You see, carrying the Cruz name around in this business gets you one of two things. The respect that comes with it. The royalty, the glam and so forth. And then there's the version I got. I got the nitty gritty. I didn't get the open doors, I didn't get the fancy wine and cheese party invites. I got to be outcasted and labeled as the baby. Baby Cruz. I got to be sheltered, and lied to about the truths out there in the world. When I got knocked up, my family were the ones judging me. Prying into my life, pressuring us into getting married for the sake of a child. I didn't like it, neither did he but we made it work the best we could.
I can't sit back and act like I didn't know what was going on was going on. Cause at the end of the day he got his and I got mine as well. You see everything comes back full circle. There was one person there for me through it all. When all the lies and scandals came about there was one chick who always had my back. Never lied, never plotted against me. Encouraged me to find my voice and truly be my own. That person of course is my lovely bestie, Raven."
Amber chuckles as the crowd starts to boo her
”To steal a famous quote from a Mr. Eric Bischoff, Controversy Creates Cash. To say that we played the lot of you from the beginning would be an understatement. Who do you think helped pick out the cake flavor for my sons birthday party?”
Amber pauses looking at Raven who slyly points at herself
”Who do you think helped pick out the "ripped shirt" for our big grudge match?”
Amber pauses again looking again at Raven who cockily pats herself on the back.
”Who do you think had a hand in my former lovers fall from grace? The run in on the title match at Slammiversary? The staged false pregnancy, the camera's backstage always being at the right spot at the right time?”
Amber laughs as Raven again takes the glory.
”You see the point is, they say keep your friends close and your enemies closer. We played enemies for so long it was only a matter of time before we plotted a way back into the spotlight. The three of us soon to be four have been waiting for the perfect time to do this. A total takeover of GZWA!”
The crowd again starts to boo Amber as she smiles at the heat.
”Now now, did you really think I'd just go and tell you what we are gonna do when we can oh so easily show you?”
Amber laughs again passing the mic back to Raven
”You know what, that reminds me. Leon, sweetie, if you’re watching this, I meant to tell you: The pregnancy I told you about? Yeah, that was nothing more than a pregnancy scare.”
Raven shrugs into the camera mouthing “sorry” before breaking her faux look of concern into that of a smile
”You people have a habit of making ME the bad guy, when you just heard it from Amber’s mouth: Her own family has shunned her! I’m the heroine in this scenario!! I do good for other people outside of the ring just as I do inside the ring with being YOUR Vixen Champion. So think about THAT next time you all wanna bring up ‘cheating’ to win or crippling Mei or attacking Tia or ‘stealing’ men or whatever dirt you people wanna drag my name through! Okay? Raven helps.”
*Raven placed a hand on her chest as she fanned away her “tears” with the Vixen Title.*
The Carter: I can’t stand to see this beautiful angel cry. How could the GZWA Nation be so mean to Raven? She’s been nothing but an innocent little flower ever since she came here.
*After her over dramatic semi-crying bit and some consoling from Tina and Amber, Raven cools down before she continues*
”But it’s okay. Say what you want because you people don’t have to love me - hell, you don't even have to like me OR Amber or Tina, but you will respect them. You WILL respect me.”
*Raven grabbed both the Vixen Championship and the now defunct Women’s Championship to take a bow to the audience as they continued to show their hate for her, Amber and Tina. Before the three could motion to exit the ring The Queen Bee Mafia’s theme begins to blare out the speakers as they make their way to the head of the ramp, no doubt having some business to handle with them*
Mariah and Tia Brooks exit the entrance curtain holding their guts in laughter at Raven’s words.
Mariah raised her microphone up to her lips, “‘RESPECT?’ and ‘YOU’ in the same sentence? You’ve really fallen off your rocker this time, Raven. While Tia and I happen to actually like the name change to the division as she’s the Straight-Edge Vixen after all and there was a time where people referred to me as the Wildfire Vixen, we personally have a problem with how you insult the legacy of that Women’s Championship. You may have arrived here in GZWA late, but you were there in ZXWWF when almost every woman on the roster was more concerned with who they were wrestling in bed instead of holding up the honor of that said division. We all know that Xion ended that company to restart with GZWA shortly after with the only three women who cared about WRESTLING - Lise Starr, Karen Beth Zurich, and yours truly - MOI.”
Mariah takes the time to stress the word in a mocking tone to Raven’s voice before continuing.
“Truth be told, I wouldn’t have signed my GZWA contract if I didn’t love WRESTLING. That title means that there’s nothing wrong with being a “DIVA” despite what certain individuals in and out of GZWA think otherwise. To be recognized and identified as a GZWA Diva is a honor and blessing for any woman in this sport could obtain. It meant that you are among the best of the best female wrestlers in the world, with the highest honor winning that belt signified you as the best of the best.”
Tia smiles at Mariah’s words while nodding her head in agreement. Tia raises her microphone and gives Raven a piece of her mind, “You know, Raven, you should be grateful that you are even here and holding that championship. You see, you and I are similar in ways. I can’t thank Mariah enough for scouting me a few years back. I came from a women’s wrestling organization that called their competitors Vixens instead of Divas, there for being a Vixen was in my wrestling bloodline. I was one of the best wrestlers there. I too even won a championship that I glorified my own. I’m sure you have heard of it before. I was and still am the only Extreme Women’s Wrestling Vixen to hold the EWW Legend’s Championship. I let all of the power go to my head. I’ve lost friendships because of it. I was a tyrant. It wasn’t until that day when I stepped out of the EWW spotlight and into the GZWA ring, when I got my wake up call. Once I made it here, it was all about refreshing my career and earning my respect. By doing so, I became a GZWA Women’s Champion. So trying to erase the slate of us former title holders isn’t only a slap in the face, but will be a blemish on your face. Just know that you are messing with the wrong Hive of Bees.”
Mariah adds, “In case you didn’t know, ladies, you can keep hitting the beehive with a stick and testing your luck, but eventually your luck is going to run out and you’re going to get stung by something fierce.”
Mariah changed gears as she turned towards Amber, “Amber, I haven’t forgotten about you. You were right about one thing, little sister. The Cruz family name has a lot of weight with it. It’s a heavy burden but we prove that the Guerreros aren’t the only ‘warriors’ in this industry. When Mom allowed you to leave home and follow in my footsteps as a wrestler, she made me promise her two things. One - that I would keep an eye on you to make sure you stayed out of trouble. Two - that I would personally put my foot up your ass when you were led astray. You can talk like you have pulled the iron curtain over everyone’s eyes, but the only person that you are fooling is yourself. Amanda and I knew it would come to this someday and we crossed that bridge of beating the holy hell of each other to come to a mutual understanding - now you and I have to come to that understanding. You are not the only one with friends willing to give a helping hand. To think that you would ally yourself with this sheep in devil’s clothing that calls herself a woman disgusts me.”
Tia puts her arm around Mariah’s shoulder, “You got that right! Amber, we tried to help you the easy way, but just like your friend Raven over here, you are bound to get stung. Don’t get me wrong, you sometimes get the best of me, but that is when you play dirty and turn it to a 1 on 2. But the odds are even despite having Little Miss Angel in your corner. Seriously, what is she going to do?”
Mariah looks towards Tina Angel and adds, “Tina, we haven’t forgotten about you. It’s just that you’ve never been a threat to me. When you do something that matters around here, then I’ll acknowledge you.”
Tia laughs and shakes her head, “Tina, you are so lucky that our girl Morgan is out of action, because you would regret sticking your nose where it doesn't belong.”
Tia shakes her head, “That goes for all three of you and anyone else who has a problem with us. You can try to erase history, pick fights, turn people against us, ect., but just know that The Queen Bee Mafia isn’t going anywhere. We are here to fight! If it is a war that you want, then you better get suited up.”
Tia drops her mic and walks towards the ring containing Raven and her flock. She then utters the words, “Bring it!”
Mariah stands between Tia and the ring, urging her to be not so hasty about making this encounter a physical one, but Tia Brooks is clearly ready for a fight tonight. Raven rolled her eyes looking over to Amber as they shared a smiled, shrugging. Amber could be heard saying “Giiirl…..” while shaking her head as Raven turned backed to Tia.
“Now that you two have shared that history lesson no one asked for, you feel better? Huh? You feel good about getting that off your chest? Is this the part where Morgan comes out to share The Life and Times of a Hoodrat? Okay, no one asked you if you were the ‘Straight Razor’ Vixen or if you were the ‘Dimly-Lit-Candle-From-Dollar-Tree’ Vixen. Me no care. Alright? And I suggest you calm all that noise Tia, because, despite these heels and this mini, I will beat that ass into retirement. You got off easy at the PPV, but TRUST you can end up just like Mei Long if need be. Ya dig?”
Spanish vocals suddenly erupts through the speakers, interrupting Raven’s threat towards Tia and signaling cheers throughout the arena. They knew who was coming out next. However, it was someone that the girls from both sides didn’t expect to see on stage with them.
The suave Cuban Hooligan “Rocky Romero”, suited in a black long sleeved collared shirt with matching dress pants. The expression on his face proved it all. Pure amusement. Amusement over this opposed “new era” involving the Women’s division. The division that his girlfriend wanted to progress, only to take a complete 180° at the announcement of the “Vixen’s” Division.
After giving a short glance to the Mafia duo as he passed by, he shifted his attention to the three girls in the center of the ring. “Forever” chants from fans of Ring of Honor roared around him. Just the sound it of all. He had to sniff the excitement, but only for a moment as he had other fish to fry. Romero lifted up the microphone to speak…in his slightly fading Cuban accent.
“Well well. The news I’m hearing tonight. I could imagine a company like this pulling dirty stunts and accepting bribery. Better yet associating with three of the most airheaded, thirsty, and vain putas in the wrestling.”
Rocky Romero pointing at Amber, Tina, and Raven, respectively, with a smile on his face. An easy cheer bait to relax the mood.
“It’s obvious that Mei Long isn’t here to address what happened at Final Encounter. The complete bullshit that got her injured and taking medical leave from this arena. The place that gave her more prestige and respect from people than any of you three combined. So instead of her, I figured I’d step up to the plate and speak for her. Besides, who can’t resist me?”
A sudden laugh strikes from Romero’s mouth before clearing his throat.
“Well…anyways. Anyways, Tina……just me wondering who the hell you are is enough to rest my case, but as we all saw on television, backstage, and internet streams, you were one of those who injured my girlfriend. I don’t want to give you plenty of relevance so I’m going to keep my respond to you short. Think about that bullshit that you just did.
Meanwhile you, Rosa Mendes, have screwed up one loss after another and still haven’t managed to become a solo act throughout your 15 minutes here. Not to mention, you are losing the most important advantage that got you here in the first place. Fam. Saying you got the “nitty grrrritty” said in a high pitched voice to imitate Amber “Please….you bony little fake. You didn’t get that shit at all. You were handed the contract on a silver platter. If there is one thing you aren’t about is that life. The life of putting your body through tables and chairs to even make it past green. You were lucky to have a family give that opportunity for you to be here, yet even through all of that, this is how you repay them? By telling them it’s their fault. Their fault that you fail so damn much? Maybe if you weren’t staring in the clouds and land for once, you would actually win a match on your own.”
“And last but not least, you, Raven. Just a straight Cubic Zirconia in the rough aren’t you? Placing yourself as a “heroine”. Saying that you….yes you…save people…..
The Cuban Hooligan and his usual ridiculing by mocking someone’s statement, as if this was a fact. Him and the audience knew otherwise. Raven was seen with her hand over her heart, nodding and mouthing “I do. I do….”.
“Pendeja, you don’t save people? You hurt them. Using your wasted vagina and sheer selfishness to hurt other women’s careers and steal titles from their hands is what your highlights consist of. That is what’s going to be right next to your name in records. Mind you, you didn’t even win the Women’s Championship on your own.
To make matters worse, you want to retire the precious platinum title with blood and sweat in its name and replace it with….with….THAT?!”
He twisted his lips to express exaggerated disgust, pointing towards Raven’s invention.
“That cheap little aluminum foil?! If you’re thinking that’s going to give you the same amount of press as Miley Cyrus then you got that completely wrong. Even the Miley Cyrus stunt has been used before her, and will be used after her fame is finished.
So go ahead. Try to promote that filth. Once time goes by, the successors will hold that title with shame. Then you’ll realize that this was the biggest mistake you will ever pull in your wrestling career, and the entire division. Someone worthy of the women’s title will thankfully put your Pablo Picasso in the recycling bin and make something useful with it….like an easy bake oven.
I dare your men to come out and say something about it. Knowing them, they are too chocho. Instead, they would much rather stand backstage, silenced by lace panties in their mouths.”
At those words, the GZWA Chairman exits the entrance curtain with a microphone in hand.
“Mr. Romero, unlike other ‘authority’ figures, I’m not afraid to confront thorns in my side and address them directly. You talk a big game about injustice around here but if memory serves me right that you were just as guilty as malign behavior. You were the mastermind behind the plot to knock AJ Styles off of his game mentally by duping him into that false relationship with Mei Long, only to pull the rug out from underneath his feet before things got too intimate between them.
Mr. Romero, don’t be mad at GZWA Management that the fruits of your labors didn’t result in the World Heavyweight Championship around your waist. When you point fingers at me, remember you have four other fingers reminding you of your own failures and shortcomings - in more ways than one.”
Xion Zeros paused briefly to let the poison from his remark sink in as Rocky Romero was visibly fuming.
“I hate to burst your bubble, but truth be told, I’m not here to answer your trivial little remark. I was going to do this outside of the public eye without all of the cameras around, but you just made this easier on yourself. It has come to my attention that when you signed your GZWA contract, you did so under the name of El Arrendajo Ardiente. That being said, you are not legally signed to my talent roster, Mr. Rocky Romero… or rather John R. Rivera. You have no legal right to be on this broadcast, nor holding one of my live microphones. Hell, I don’t even want you in my sight. Security, escort this trash that calls himself a ‘Cuban Hooligan’ out of my building.”
Security doesn't hesitate to the GZWA Chairman's demands and surround Romero from both sides. As the security guards escort Rocky Romero out of the arena, Raven is seen giving him a Little Rascals wave goodbye while blowing a raspberry. Xion taunts him once more. “What’s wrong, Romero? I thought you would want more quality time with that slut you call a girlfriend.”
Romero reaches towards Xion to throw a punch but the guards manage to keep him restrained as they escort him out of the building.
Xion turns back to the ladies all still gathered in and out of the ring. Mariah notably gives the GZWA Chairman a look of utter disgust of his actions tonight.
“What are you all gawking at? Get out of my ring, ladies. The show must go on - with or without a hooligan in the building.”
Raven stands in the ring next to Tina and Amber, smiling while adjusting the titles on her shoulders before taking the mic again
“Well this has just been a glittering assemblage. On behalf of me and my fans, I would like to thank all the little people for thinking about me enough to come out and share their warm and thoughtful praises, thank you to The Boss for disposing the other half of the trash & thank me for speaking. Now, Ladies and Gentlemen, your Vixen Champion has to get ready for her tag team win tonight. Smooches!.”
Raven drops her mic, taking a bow towards the Queen Bee Mafia with that condescending Cheshire grin plastered all over her face, before hopping out the ring to nonchalantly brush past them with Amber and Tina by her side. Mariah maintains her composure as she stares daggers at all three women, especially at Raven and Amber, but Tia is a different matter altogether as she allows her temper to get the best of her. Mariah holds her a bay with her arm hooked underneath Tia’s. The camera catches a final glimpse of the 3 ladies walking up the ramp as the show fades to a commercial break.
*** Fatal 4 Way Match ***
Tyler Storm vs. Bo Dallas (debut) vs. Endorphin (in-ring debut) vs. Sean O'Haire (debut)
Prof. X: I must say that was a history making moment for the women of GZWA that we witnessed moments ago, despite the circumstances. For our opening contest tonight, we have a lot of newcomers making their in-ring debuts here in GZWA tonight.
Francine: Everyone but Tyler Storm is a newbie in this match. He’s going to need eyes in the back of his head here. I have to admit, GZWA Vixen does have a nice ring to it. Sucks to see Rocky Romero go, but it was honorable for him to come out here and stand up for his woman.
The Carter: Speak of the devil…
The unlikely duo of Bo Dallas and Sean O’Haire attack with a pre-emptive strike to Tyler Storm and Endorphin at the sound of the opening bell and toss them out of the ring. With Endorphin and Tyler Storm down at ringside, Bo Dallas makes a victory lap around the ring. Sean O’Haire uses this opportunity to quickly dissolve their partnership. He catches Bo in mid-sprint and elevates him overhead in a Military Press and tosses him over the top rope and into the arms of the waking Endorphin and Tyler Storm. Just as all three Superstars at ringside were trying to stagger to their feet, O’Haire flies out of the ring with a Diving Splash into all three Superstars. O’Haire rolls Bo back into the ring.
Francine: Looks like O’Haire isn’t the only black widow around here from the way that he’s stabbing his friends in the back.
O’Haire delivers a Snapmare to the waking Bo and hits the ropes before returning with a Big Boot. Bo Dallas counters with a quick School Boy roll-up.
Prof. X: Looks like Bo Dallas is going to turn this around here!
The Carter: I BOlieve that Bo’s got this!
One…
Two…
Thre--NO!!
O’Haire manages to kill out before the three count. Endorphin enters the mix with a Knuckle Bomb (Diving Double Axe Handle) to the raising Bo, but his momentum is stopped short as Tyler Storm strikes with a Jumping Double Knee Backbreaker to Endorphin. Tyler Storm races over and makes the cover.
One…
Two…
NO!!
Sean O’Haire breaks the pin and dragged Tyler Storm to his feet with a Shoulder Claw. Tyler counters with an Over The Shoulder Toss and Irish Whips Sean O’Haire into the corner. Tyler charged behind O’Haire into the corner, but O’Haire backflips from the corner and lands behind Tyler Storm. Tyler spun around directly into a pending Super Kick. Before O’Haire could make the cover, Sean is hit with an Asai DDT from Endorphin from out of nowhere. Endorphin then takes a moment to mock his foe as he performs Sean O’Haire’s own Seanton Bomb from the top rope. Endorphin goes for the win with a cover.
One…
Two…
Thr--NO!!!
Tyler Storm broke the pin by lifting Endorphin off Sean O’Haire for a stalling Suplex, showing off an impressive display of power. Sean O’Haire climbs the turnbuckle and hits a Diving Cross Body into the elevated body of Endorphin to send all three Superstars crashing to the canvas. Sean O’Haire staggers to his feet and strikes with a Jump Spin Kick to the waking Tyler Storm. Tyler ducks the incoming blow and counters with the Eye of the Storm (Cross Rhodes). To Tyler’s surprise, O’Haire counters with a Reverse Death Valley Driver to the Eye of the Storm.
Before Sean O’Haire could pick up the win, Bo Dallas races back into the ring and hits the Bo-Dog (Springboard Bulldog) to O’Haire, stealing the win from underneath his nose.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Prof. X: Bo Dallas steals the win from Sean O’Haire to walk away the winner in his GZWA debut.
The Carter: Look at Bo go! He’s making a victory lap around the ring! He’s 1 and Bo! The Streak lives!
Francine: Keep making bad puns like that, Carter, and I’m going to ask you to BO-LEAVE too.
The Carter: Don't get mad at me, Franny. I'm a BOliever!
In the halls of the GZWA arena, we see AJ Lee preparing for her upcoming match against Lita, wrapping her black wrist tape around her fists while sitting on top of a production box. Wearing her black shirt, she noticeably is now wearing, elbow pads, knee pads and black shorts, being dressed in fully black gear. She bites the tape off of her wrists after completing wrapping it around her hands and hops off of the box, stretching her wrists out. From out of nowhere, someone sneaks up behind AJ and hugs her with a big smile on her face. The someone is revealed to be none other than Bayley.
"HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII AJ!" Bayley says excitedly as she squeezes AJ tighter with what AJ calls a bone crushing hug. AJ coughs while being hugged, her arms seemingly trapped within it. She appears extremely annoyed when her eyes roll in Bayley's direction as she speaks in a false excited tone. "Heeeeeey, Bayley..." Bayley keeps AJ in the hug, and jumps up and down. "Ohmigosh, ohmigosh, ohmigosh! I'm so super excited to meet you! You're so awesome and I can't believe I'm meeting you right now. I just want to hug you to pieces!" Nodding, AJ taps Bayley's arm and bites her lip while gritting her teeth. "I'm sure you could... So, I saw you have a match here tonight too..."
"I so totally do!" Bayley says as she releases the hug. "I'm facing Lise Starr!" AJ's eye twitches at this, and she bends her head as she glares at Bayley. She puts her arms on Bayley's shoulders and a smirk begins to appear on her face. "Bayley, do me a favor, will you? Lise Starr is a big bully, and she hurt my feelings. She didn't even let me hug her! So I would really appreciate it if you beat her tonight. If you do that, I will give you the biggest hug ever!" With this, she hugs Bayley softly, hiding a slightly evil smile from behind her. "You know, you and me, we could totally be best friends..."
Bayley looks at AJ with wide eyes. "Lise is a bully and hurt your feelings? She didn't even let you hug her? That... That meanie! I'm gonna beat Lise just for my new bestie!" Bayley says with a smile as she gives AJ a big hug, much to AJ's disdain. AJ rolls her eyes in annoyance and taps Bayley's back, reluctantly hugging her too. "Thanks Bayley... You know, after you beat that bitc...big jerk and I beat Lita, you and me should totally team up! We'd be such an awesome team, right?!" As the hug is broken, AJ mutters under her breath to herself. "And make it simpler for me to get my title..." "Ohmigosh! I'm so totally gonna beat Lise Starr and then we'll be the most awesomest team ever formed." Bayley releases the hug and waves goodbye to AJ who grits her hand into a fist as she smirks.
*** Singles Match ***
"Queen of Submission" Casey Cortez (w/ "Tattooed Beauty" Laura Jackson) vs. "The High Roller" Jack Ace
Prof. X: At Final Encounter, the MisFits put on an impressive show of force - in both the GZWA Television Championship Match and within the Tag Team Tournament. Casey Cortez has solidified her standing as one of the most terrifying women on the roster. Hell, I think most of the Superstars in the back won’t even take her lightly anymore.
Francine: I definitely wasn’t a fan before, but the MisFits made me a believer that they are a force to be reckoned with.
The Carter: I hate to be Jack Ace. He has to step into that ring with Casey again.
Prof. X: He has a better chance than most, Carter. Those two managed to take each other out at Final Encounter. This match is to settle the score.
Jack Ace awaits for Casey in the ring as she made her entrance. The Queen of Submission stopped halfway down the entrance ramp and turned to Laura Jackson and Rose Cortez following closely behind her. She gave them a cold glare and they got the hint before turning around and heading backstage.
The Carter: Looks like Casey is going it alone.
Francine: Does she really need the other MisFits for this? Jack Ace respects her enough to come out here without Tyler Storm, so it’s only out of that same mutual respect that she does the same.
Referee Jimmy Korderas signals for the opening bell and both competitors lock up in a test of strength. Their efforts qwell to a standstill until Jack Ace kicks Casey in the shins repeatedly. The Queen of Submission drops to one knee, allowing the High Roller to capitalize on the situation with a Tornado DDT. Casey’s head bounces off the canvas and leaves her in a seated position as she attempted to return back to a vertical base. Jack Ace continued his offense with a Running Bulldog, but the Queen of Submission caught him in motion as he leapt over her body by the arm and slammed him to the canvas with a Hammerlock Suplex. With the tables turned as Jack Ace found himself in a seated position, Casey applied a seated Sleeper Hold.
Prof. X: Casey is definitely living up to her namesake here.
Jack Ace struggles against the hold, but manages to free himself with an Inverted Jawbreaker. With the Queen of Submission stunned, Jack Ace shook off the cobwebs and capitalize with a Belly to Belly Suplex before he pinned Casey to the canvas.
One…
Tw--WAIT!!!
Casey stops the pin with a transition from the pin to an application of grounded Cross Armbreaker. Jack Ace’s veteran experience and ring awareness comes into play as he instantly forces a break by draping his foot onto the bottom rope. While Referee Korderas attempts to keep Casey at bay after breaking the hold, Jack Ace takes the opportunity to roll out onto the ring apron for a breather. Casey quickly maneuvers around Korderas and reaches between the ropes as she pursues her prey. Jack Ace greeted her with a Knee Lift to the face to send her reeling. The High Roller returned back into the ring, spun her back around, and pinned her to the canvas with a kneeling Powerbomb, securing her shoulders to the mat.
Before Korderas could make the count, Casey rolls through the pin and drives Jack Ace into the canvas with a Piledriver. One would think that her offense would end there, but no, the Queen of Submission wants to inflict more pain upon the High Roller as she hoists him off the canvas, only to send him crashing back down with a Jacknife Powerbomb. Casey hooks Jack Ace’s leg into a pin.
One…
Two…
NO!!!
Casey shook her head in disgust, shouting at the High Roller to stay down. She paces back and forth methodically before charging back to strike with a Big Boot as Jack Ace staggers to this feet. The High Roller responds with a Drop Hold Toe to cause the Queen of Submission to faceplant into the mat. With the tables turned, Jack Ace locked in a Texas Cloverleaf.
Casey uses Jack’s own strategy against him as she grabbed the ropes firmly to force a rope break. After the break, Jack Ace was eager to continue his offense as Casey returned to her feet by blindly charging in with a Running Lariat. The Queen of Submission ducks the swing and responds by wrenching his arm behind him before she took the opportunity to climb the turnbuckle and walk the ropes with an Old School. Just as she leapt down from the ropes, the High Roller rolled the dice and played his luck by knocking Casey out of the air with a Spear.
The Carter: Whoa! Who would have thought that Jack Ace still it in him to pull off something like that this late into the game!
Francine: Now if only he can seal the deal.
Prof. X: C’mon Jack! Pin her!
The High Roller motions to cover the Queen of Submission when she hoists him back to her feet in a standing butterfly lock before slamming him overhead and down to the canvas with a Butterfly Suplex (Royal Butterfly). Casey makes the cover.

The camera changes to show Renee Young standing backstage wearing a black dress with a microphone in hand.
“Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, the woman who’ll be taking on newcomer Bayley, Lise Starr.”
Dressed in a pink variation of her wrestling attire and a black hoodie, Lise Starr steps beside Renee while she finishes applying white wrist tape.
“Lise, you beat AJ Lee at Final Encounter in a brutal Last Woman Standing match, ending with the two of you colliding into a glass table. I have to ask, how does someone cope after that?”
“It hurt. It hurt so much. Being surrounded by huge glass shards with tiny, sharp ones sticking into you that the doctors have to pinch out with tiny tweezers.”
Both women cringe.
“It stung a lot. Especially when they put the antibacterial cream on. That glass spot was something most people would never want to experience in their life. I can admit, I was one of those people. A few years ago in my indy days, I got involved in hardcore situations. Hell, I’ve been struck by glass before at the back of my neck. But my entire body through glass? No… not until Final Encounter. I’ve still got some marks on my back, it’s possibly that they may leave some scars.”
Renee nods, preparing to ask another question.
“Speaking of scars, with the heated rivalry between you and AJ Lee seemingly done, how are you dealing with the mental scars inflicted on you?”
Hearing Renee’s question causes Lise to simply sigh and place her hands on her hips.
“Mental scars? The hell are you talking about? Yeah, AJ did a lot of shit to me… I do admit I feel a bit different now but I’m completely fine.”
As soon as Lise finishes her sentence, any further thoughts are interrupted by the sudden arrival of the newcomer, Veda Scott, who shifts her glasses slightly while smiling towards Lise and extending her hand out to shake.
“Hello, Mrs Starr or Lise, can I call you Lise? My name is Veda Scott, I’m one of the new people here. I couldn’t help but overhear you speaking about the damage you suffered in your match with AJ Lee at Final Encounter. Great match by the way, congratulations on your hard fought victory, that I’ll admit, I didn’t think you were gonna win.”
Lise keeps her hands on her hips and simply stares at Veda’s hand before looking barely down at her. For once, Lise is taller than someone.
“Well, thanks for the congrats and no thanks for the disbelief in me. What’s the deal?”
Veda awkwardly shifts her hand behind her back and chuckles.
“As I’m sure you know by now, since I’ve came here, I’ve been saying that I’m willing to offer my excellent services as both a valet and a lawyer to anyone on the GZWA roster, so considering the physical damage you’ve suffered, I was perhaps wondering if you would like for me to be your lawyer. I do believe I can be of great assistance to you, Lise.”
“...A lawyer? You’re a lawyer? Seriously? Like a real deal lawyer or one that got a diploma from a big “University” in Colombia?”
Veda bites her bottom lip with what can only be described as an annoyed sarcastic smile on her face as she fold her arms.
“Yes...I am a real deal lawyer. And I’m willing to help you out. Would you like that?”
“I appreciate the offer but no thanks. Everyone thinks I’m broken after my Last Woman Standing match. I got a bunch of possible scars, so what?”
“Well, you know, while that was an extra, my offer to be a valet for you still stands. I’d like to think you and me would have good chemistry. I’ve read that you used to have a thing for streaks, you could even get some hair dye and we could match our hair colours, now that would be rather interesting.”
And Veda just had to bring up red hair… Lise simply rolls her eyes and removes her hands from her hips.
“Are you kidding me? Is this just some sort of joke?”
Veda appears confused, raising an eyebrow.
“Joke? What?”
“It’s always “Oh Lise, you should dye your hair red” or “You need to go back to it” or these goddamn websites listing me as a redhead. My hair ranges between brown and black! I dye my hair for about a month or two many years ago and people still bring it up, it’s unbelievable. I bet if I went blonde for a while and back to brunette, you people would never bring it up!”
Veda takes a few steps back, putting her arms out to protect herself.
“Easy now, Lise… It was just a suggestion, let’s not do anything rash.”
“Well, excuse me for being annoyed. I get the feeling that people just looooove annoying me. It’s either redhead jokes, height jokes, Australian jokes or plain stupidity.”
Lise says, folding her arms with an expression of annoyance. Veda remains silent for a few moments before using her finger to push her glasses up.
“...You’re Australian? I thought you were English.”
Suddenly, Lise starts to shake a little, looking as if she’s ready to explode.
“......Shut up, Bozo!!! Why don’t you go and return the cheap glasses to the pharmacy where all the other geek wannabes buy them from?”
Veda gasps at Lise’s insult before turning around and storming off, muttering angrily to herself. Lise tries to calm down by taking a long, deep breath and exhaling. Renee Young who had been watching the entire scene, just looks at Lise who seems to be calming down.
“Bozo The Bitch is gone… no need to stress, Lisey. Time to wrestle Pogo-Stick Girl.”
The scene opens to CM Punk and Suicide in the middle of discussion of the recent news buzzing around the locker room.
CM Punk: “Lisey’s going to be alright… she’s just going through some things after that traumatic experience with dealing with AJ…”
Suicide silently points towards the cameraman.
CM Punk: “Quit with the Mr. Mime routine, dude. You hit on more chicks than I did back in my prime, so you’re not fooling anyone.”
Suicide sighs, “Fine, you win, boss. So what are we going to do about tonight? We’re facing the new World Heavyweight Champion and Genesis’ mentally-unstable sister in the Losers’ Bracket of the Tag Team Tournament.”
CM Punk: “I don’t say this about many people around here, but to be honest, I respect Hano Eiyu. He’s one of the few guys who has a backbone and willing to stand up against Xion’s bullshit. As for Kayda, she has my sympathy after finding out that she’s related to that hairless ape of man.
Sadly, my feelings don’t change the fact that it’s do or die time in this tournament. Someone is out of this tournament for good. That being said, we’re going to do the same thing we did at Final Encounter. We’re going out there and win - minus the part where you get distracted by a nice piece of ass and cause us to get blindsided by Xion’s goon squad.”
Suicide: “When are you going to stop busting my balls about that? I told you I was sorry, man. Besides, don’tcha think she did that enough? I didn’t even get a name, phone number, or nuthin’!”
CM Punk nods in agreement, “You have a point there. I dunno, you might be losing your touch there, buddy.”
Suicide folds his arms, “Like hell, I still got it. You should know better than me. When you got this gift, you never lose it.”
CM Punk: “Careful now. I’ll admit you’re good, but you’re definitely not a Chick Magnet nor a Titty Master.”
Suicide: “All in good time. You don’t rush perfection.” He changes gears for a moment, “I have to ask since inquiring minds want to know, but why exactly did you literally hand Hano Eiyu the title?”
CM Punk throws his hands up into the air, “C’mon, you saw the ‘Slammiversary Screwjob’ just like everyone else earlier this year. Xion Zeros was the puppetmaster but Genesis willingly played his part in screwing me over. So when the opportunity presented itself to piss on Genesis’ parade, I raced out there to take it and toss that hot piss in his face.
Let’s one thing straight - I didn’t hand Hano Eiyu NOTHING. I merely stopped Genesis from screwing three people over as he found yet another way to warp the odds into his favor, despite all of the manipulating and foul play he did leading up to the event blowing up into his face once Kayda was named the referee. After I broke the pin, it was either AJ Styles or Hano Eiyu’s game from there. I didn’t hand them NOTHING.
If there were any justice in the world…”
Suicide: “There is justice, she has a huge rack…”
“You know that’s not the one I’m talking about… If GZWA Management would get it’s head from shoved up Xion’s ass, I would have been the one in that triple threat match instead of Genesis…”
“I helped you two have a FAIR match at Final Encounter. That was the best I could do to remedy that mess that Xion did to you at Slammiversary and you know it,” says the woman walking into the view of the camera, pointing her finger directing into CM Punk’s chest.
“Oh hey there, Serena. It’s nice to see you too. I don’t say this much, but you’re right and we both thank you. My fight isn’t with you, Serena. It’s with your stick in a mud of a boss.”
Serena Dent smiles, “That’s what I like to hear. From here on out, you’re on your own. The Board doesn’t want me playing favorites. My actions at Final Encounter was to repay that debt that the Board felt the company owed you for loss at Slammiversary.”
CM Punk shook his head, “No, we’re not paid in full until I repay Genesis in the ring.”
Serena sighs, “That’s not possible. He took an indefinite leave of absence after Final Encounter. He’s not responding to phone calls from the front office or anything.”
CM Punk pats Serena on the shoulder, “Don’t worry about it. I’m sure we can entertain ourselves someway or another. I know Xion’s fuming mad after his goon squad failed to get the job done at Final Encounter.”
Suicide chimes in, “I’m sure we could think of another ‘favor’ or two to repay us.”
CM Punk adds, “Speak for yourself, buddy… I’m already spoken for.”
Serena pie-faces Suicide away from her, rolling her eyes in disgust, “I’m sorry, but I suggest you find someone who is interested into buying into that offer. I’m a happily married woman.”
She pushes past both Superstars to leave as promptly as she walked onto the scene, uttering one more remark, “I know it goes without saying, but good luck tonight. I know you two would HATE to be eliminated from the Tag Team Tournament after defeating The Enforcers.”
CM Punk smirks as she walked away, “I’ve told you before Serena. We don’t need luck. We make our own miracles.”
*** Singles Match ***
"The Heartbreaker" Lise Starr vs. Bayley (debut)
After the opening bell, Bayley grins from ear to ear, practically the polar opposite to Lise, who has her hands on the ropes and rests her head on the top turnbuckle with her hoodie up. Bayley moves over to Lise, surprising the Heartbreaker by hugging her. Lise’s facial expression reflects how awkward she feels as she taps Bayley on her head, with her forced smile suddenly becoming wide eyed shock when Bayley suddenly flips her over in a roll up.
One...
Two...
NO!!!
Bayley giggles, clapping excitedly while Lise remains seated on the mat, seething with anger to the point of kicking the bottom rope in anger at almost being so easily defeated. After taking a deep breath, Lise adjusts her wrist tape and goes over to Bayley seemingly to start a friendly in-match grapple, only to leap and hit her with an enziguri, knocking her to the ground. Dropping to her knees, the Heartbreaker hits several elbows to the back of Bayley and grabs her by her hair to bring her back and then slam her face into the canvas.
While Bayley begins to stand up, Lise raises her leg for a Spinning Roundhouse Kick, but to her horror, her leg is caught by Bayley. Despite Lise raising her arms and begging, Bayley throws Lise’s leg to the side, causing her to drop into a split and crotch herself, making the Heartbreaker scream as she holds her thighs in pain. While in this position, she is struck by a running low dropkick from Bayley, who goes for the cover.
One…
Two…
NO!!!
Despite her pain, Lise is able to raise an arm up, and while getting up to her feet, is suddenly brought back down by a Russian Leg Sweep from Bayley. As Bayley grabs her leg and drags her into the middle of the ring, Lise uses her free leg to kick her in the face and crawl over to the ropes, reminding the referee to keep her protected. Dragging herself to a corner, Lise checks on her leg when she notices Bayley running towards her for a splash, quickly dropping out of harm’s way by jumping forward and hitting a low dropkick to Bayley’s legs, causing her to eat the second rope turnbuckle.
While Bayley steps back, holding her face in pain, the Heartbreaker capitalises with a German Suplex, bridging for a pinfall, which gets her nowhere. Deciding to go airborne, Lise hops up to the second rope and dives for a Sunset Flip, slamming Bayley into the mat. Dragging Bayley up to her feet by her hair, she sends her back down again with a Slingshot Suplex, covering her once more, only to again get a two count, facepalming afterwards.
Growing impatient with her “new friend”, Lise unwraps some of the wrist tape around her hand and sits Bayley up, choking her with it. The referee begins to count for Lise to stop, which she slowly draws out to the fourth count before freeing Bayley, cruelly putting her hand on the back of her head and shoving her, even ripping her headband off and throwing it into the crowd before kicking her in the back.
Throwing her arms to state that it is time to finish the match, Lise crouches and lightly stomps her foot on the mat, waiting for Bayley to stand up to finish her off with the Starrstruck Superkick. As Bayley begins to turn and face her, Lise sidesteps towards her and raises her boot, but Bayley ducks and irish whips Lise into the ropes, quickly following with a splash into the corner. While Lise groggily steps forward, Bayley grabs her for the Belly to Bayley suplex, but Lise manages to headbutt her and free herself, managing to keep her feet on the ropes and grab Bayley’s head, quickly slamming her head into the canvas.
Lise climbs up the ropes, and after taking a deep breath, she dives from the top, flipping in mid air for the Breaking Heart Shooting Star Press, only to slam into the mat as Bayley moves out of the way. The Heartbreaker roars in pain, punching the mat while holding her body with her other hand as she struggles to get up, only to be caught and raised into the air by Bayley, who slams her back into the mat with a Belly to Bayley suplex and covers her for the pinfall.
ONE…

THREE!!!
(Recorded earlier today...)
The scene opens up to the outside of what looks like a abandoned building that has been unoccupied for years as the cameraman slowly makes his way to the door to turn the doorknob to open it & the door feels like it is gonna fall off its hedges but the cameraman continues to enter the building in search of the person who told him to meet at this address, while the cameraman continues to move deeper into this building we get glimpses of destroyed furniture & holes the size of fist in the walls and it is like that in every room he passes until he some sounds of something being thrown across the room that he slowly moves closer to investigate which we find out that it is Carnage putting his fists through the wall repeatedly then pounding his head into the wall until he finally stops but rest his head on the wall.
Carnage: It seems like every time I am close to reaching the top that an army of wrestlers have to step in my way to stop me. I have proven that I am an unstoppable force but even I can't take on the entire world which is what it looks like whenever I come close to winning the big one here and Final Encounter was the moment I finally realized it cause here I was in one of the biggest matches of my career and I had the entire MisFits attack me & tried to end with a triple powerbomb through the announcers table & hitting me with an avalanche tombstone piledriver on the floorboards of the ring. While I laid there unable to move for that time I couldn't stop thinking that this could be the end of my career since I thought my neck was broken but the moment I regained the feeling in my body & was able to stand up I got myself back into the match & proved how tough I was by taking out whoever was not a part of the match and re-focusing on Mike Bradley & Amanda Cortez.
Carnage turns around to put his back against the wall then slides down it till he is sitting on the floor where he places his hands in front of him looking at them as if he is holding something.
Carnage: For one moment I could that championship in my hand after I hit him with Total Annihilation and heard the ref slap his hand down on the mat for the 1, 2, & 3 but just when that moment of glory was about to happen Amanda broke it up and again stolen it from me. I haven't been able to sleep since Final Encounter cause all I ever think about is the events that took place at Final Encounter & Amanda becoming the new Television Champion, I was so close to capturing that title again even after battling through all the odds only to have it stolen from me by her. I have been thinking about what my next move is gonna be after the events of Final Encounter and alot of thoughts have been running through my head like taking out each & every member of MisFits & saving Amanda for last just so I can take that title from her but then I think about all the chances I have had to become champion here but have failed at every one of those chances & I think "Is it time to retire?" I don't know just yet what I am gonna do but I know that I am booked in a match tonight against one AJ Styles. I can sit here & tell you AJ that I am gonna hurt you in this match just to send Amanda & the MisFits a message but reality is that I don't know what side of me is gonna show up tonight to face you in our match, is it gonna be the Hardcore Monster or the part of me that wants to come out to put on a technical wrestling match against you cause I know how good of a wrestler you are since we have fought before but like I said before that I don't know what side of me you are gonna be facing tonight. I don't know what you all expect of me anymore cause I have given everything I ever could & more but I have nothing to show for it except my former glory from my previous companies I have worked for but that means nothing here cause I now realize that when it comes to me that their is no Good or Evil but Me vs the World and it is about time that I show the world what I can be capable of doing when I am not holding back.
Carnage puts his head in his hands as the screen fades to black.

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles vs. "The Hardcore Monster" Carnage
The match started just as AJ Styles slid into the ring as Carnage pummeled him with a series of strikes before Referee Slick Johnson separated them briefly and signaled for the opening bell. Carnage mounted his offense again, only for Styles to send him into the corner with a Front Dropkick. Styles continues his offense with a series of Knife Edge Chops in the corner before retreating briefly and returning with a Corner Splash. What AJ Styles didn’t plan for is Carnage catching him out of the air with a Two-Handed Choke Bomb and securing his shoulders to the canvas in an unorthodox pin.
One…
Two…
NO!!!
Carnage elevates Styles’ body off the canvas and slams him back down with another Chokebomb before dragging him off the canvas and back to his feet in the Powerbomb position. Carnage slammed Styles to the canvas with a thunderous Powerbomb then proceeded to elevate him up again.
The Carter: When is this abuse going to end?
Prof. X: We’re all about to get the answer for that.
Carnage raced full throttle towards the corner with a Buckle Bomb (Running Powerbomb). Just as Carnage propelled Styles towards the corner post, the Phenomenal One sent the Hardcore Monster into the corner post instead with a Hurracanrana Whip. Carnage slammed face-first into the unforgiving steel as Styles took a moment to shake off the cobwebs. AJ Styles then charged towards the corner with a Flying Forearm Smash to the back of Carnage’s head, but the Hardcore Monster spun around with a Spinning Lariat. Styles manages to leapfrog over Carnage’s shoulders and perches himself on the top rope. Just as Carnage spun around, Styles strikes with a Diving Tornado DDT, planting Carnage’s skull into the canvas. Carnage attempts to sit up after this blow, but Styles adds a Frog Splash for good measure for going for the cover.
One…
Two…
NO!!!
Carnage powers out and propels Styles across the ring in the process. The Phenomenal One kips back up to this feet, but he’s turned inside out by the Hardcore Monster’s Running Lariat. Carnage then positions the groggy AJ Styles back to his feet onto his shoulders for an Inverted Death Valley Driver. The Phenomenal One turns this hairy situation into his favor once again - this time, by countering with a Cliffhanger (Crucifix Hold dropped into a DDT). The Harcore Monster sits up yet again from the canvas.
The Carter: Is there anything to keep this man down?
Francine: Do you remember how much abuse that the MisFits put him through at Final Encounter and he still managed to come back for more?
Prof. X: Carnage is one of the only Superstars on the GZWA roster with such a high tolerance to pain.
AJ Styles maintains his determination as he hits the ropes and rebounds with a Running Enzuigiri to the waking Carnage. Carnage responds with a Stretch Muffler. Styles shakes free and hits a Pele Kick from out of nowhere to daze the Hardcore Monster. AJ Styles motions for the Styles Clash, but the Hardcore Monster tosses Styles overhead to counter. Styles hits the ropes and rebounds with a Springboard Flying Forearm Smash. Carnage catches the Phenomenal One in motion with a Black Hole Slam and slams him to the canvas in a vicious pin.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE--NO!!!
Prof. X: How did Styles manage to kick out of that?
Francine: No idea on that one, Professor, but Carnage doesn't seem to be worried.
Carnage drags AJ Styles back to his feet for a point-blank Lariat. Styles ducks the swing and hits the ropes. The Phenomenal One rebounds with a Springboard Back Flip DDT, but the Hardcore Monster was one step ahead, catching AJ Styles onto his shoulders. He elevates AJ Styles into the air and drops him onto the ropes with a Military Press Stungun to stun the former World Heavyweight Champion. The Hardcore Monster's reign of terror continues with the Total Annihilation (Buckle Bomb to Spiral Bomb combination) to slam Styles into the turnbuckle and back down onto the canvas with his shoulders pinned to the canvas.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!!!
Prof. X: That was an impressive show of force by the Hardcore Monster. AJ Styles put on a great effort, but Carnage came out on top.
Francine: I hope AJ Styles will be able to bounce back from this loss. I'm sure there's many fans in the GZWA Nation who wouldn't mind seeing him as champ once again.
*** Singles Match ***
Veda Scott (in-ring debut) vs. "The Chic Geek" Jade Wylder (debut)
As the match begins, Veda “respectfully” extends her hand to Jade, who seems more interested in Veda’s glasses than shaking her hand, making Veda roll her eyes. She appears to ask Veda to be allowed to wear her glasses, to which Veda responds by turning her head, chuckling, and decking Jade between the eyes. After she falls, Veda laughs until noticing Jade suddenly become a lot angrier. Throwing her glasses in the air, Veda rolls outside and runs for it as Jade quickly follows her. After a chase around the ring, Veda quickly crawls back into the ring and piggy backs on the referee, screaming for him to not let Jade hurt her.
Once the anarchy has calmed, Veda again offers a handshake to Jade, who accepts it this time. As Veda goes to break the handshake, she find that Jade has kept her grip, then bringing Veda down with a Clothesline. Once back up, Veda is hit with a backflip kick, knocking her into the ropes and dazing her. Jade irish whips her, but mid way through, Veda counters and whips Jade into the corner, following up with a running Butt Bump, then hitting her with several Shoulder Blocks making Jade drop into a seated position. Veda then runs back again and hits her with a low Crossbody.
In a bout of overcockiness, Veda begins to imitate Jade, acting overly nerdy as Jade begins to get up. She runs to hit a Big Boot, only for Jade to duck under it and hit Veda with a Spinning Headlock Elbow Drop. She covers, but Veda kicks out at a one count. While Jade grabs Veda’s leg to continue offense, Veda crawls to the ropes, where Jade grabs her other legs, trying to drag her back into the ring while Veda desperately holds onto the ropes until Jade simply drops her, causing Veda to face plant into the canvas.
As Veda rubs her nose and complains about the pain, Jade poses for the audience before running towards Veda and hitting her with a Snapmare before running from the ropes and hitting a low Double Axe Handle to Veda’s chest. Jade then lifts Veda up to a standing position and raises herself up for a Swinging DDT, almost planting Veda into the mat, only for her to counter it in mid air into a makeshift Codebreaker. As Jade lies on the mat, Veda quickly covers her by raising both legs, even going for extra leverage by pulling at her tights and leaning her foot on the rope, getting the cheap pinfall victory.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!!
The Carter: Veda robbed Jade out of the win in her GZWA debut!
Francine: Hey, all is fair in love and war. Next time the little nerd girl just has to play the game better, or look up some cheat codes like Veda Scott did ahead of time.
Prof. X: Stay tuned for more GZWA action after this commercial break, GZWA fans.
*** Singles Match ***
"Queen of Extreme" Lita vs. "The Black Widow" AJ Lee
Upon the bell ringing, AJ sprints towards Lita, running and barking like a feral dog as she jumps on top of her and begins to punch her head. She backs off initially upon the referee’s warnings, before moving back in and kicking Lita in the stomach, then proceeding to quickly and violently stomp a mudhole into her until she is lying on the mat. Taking a few steps back, AJ strokes her hands through her hair, hyperventilating with her large eyes almost popping out of her skull.
Keeping her insane smile, AJ drops to her knees and crawls over to Lita, who is on all fours, coughing and holding her ribs. AJ taunts the Queen of Extreme while she’s down, pouting. “Am I too tough for you, Lita?” She asks before getting up on one leg and putting her hand on Lita’s hair, raising her up and balling a hand back before throwing it forward to punch her, only for Lita to duck and grab AJ while she spins from missing, trapping her in a Sleeper Hold. AJ’s free arm flails wildly as Lita walks backwards to the corners, where she stands on the second rope and modifies the hold so she can bring AJ down with an Diving Reverse Tornado DDT, covering her afterwards.
One...
Two..
NO!!!
Gasping for breath, AJ holds her throat for a moment, using the ropes to get up to her feet. She runs towards Lita, only to be hit with a Tilt-a-Whirl Slam. She crawls to a corner, where upon returning to her feet, is thrown across the ring by Lita running and performing a One Legged Monkey Flip. While AJ begins to stand up, Lita approaches her, but in a defensive instinct, AJ turns and hits her with a Spinning Heel Kick to the skull, dropping to her knees afterwards and covering her.
One...
Two...
NO!!!
As Lita slowly gets up to a seated position, AJ rebounds from the ropes and runs back, hitting her with a low dropkick then dragging her up to her feet where she latches her legs around her hips and wraps her head in the Guillotine Choke. Lita thrashes for a moment before charging into a corner, causing AJ to let go and loosen the hold. Lita steps back while AJ remains in the corner, where she runs to hit her with a shoulder block, only for AJ to jump onto the ropes, causing Lita to splat into the steel and drop to the bottom turnbuckle.
AJ gets back to a standing position, where she runs from the opposite side of the ring and smacks Lita’s face with her boot with a Facewash. AJ then grabs Lita back up, and hits her with a sequence of several neckbreakers before going for another cover.
One...
Two...
NO!!!
After the nearfall, AJ sticks her tongue out with a sick smile as she looks at her taped fist, nuzzling her cheek against it. She crouches over Lita and punches her in the face once before climbing to the top rope, smirking while waiting for Lita to rise. She dives for an attempted Litacanrana to mock her former idol, only to be slammed into the mat when Lita quickly catches her and slams her into the mat with a surprise Litabomb. Lying barely conscious, AJ appears motionless as Lita lies over her and raises her leg for the cover.
One...
Two...
Thre---NO!
Somehow, despite appearing completely unconscious, AJ is able to lifelessly raise her arm to save her skin. Lita appears shocked at the durability of the Black Widow, and drags her up by her hair and putting her head into position for a Lita DDT, planning to finish her off for the match. As she snaps her leg back for the finish, AJ suddenly rolls her head free and leaps on top of Lita’s head and twirls her into the Black Widow out of nowhere, practically tearing Lita’s arm from her back while putting all of the weight from her left leg on her head. Grinning madly, AJ screams for Lita to tap, which she resists before ultimately being forced to give in, tapping out much to AJ’s delight.
Prof. X: I hope Lita can shake off this losing streak she's been in since her debut. This is uncharacteristic of this iconic Diva.
*** Tag Team Tournament - Winners' Bracket - Winners' Finals ***
The Fallen 2.0 ("The Sociopath" Paige & "The Emo Warrior" Jimmy Jacobs) vs. Extreme Juggalos ("High Flying Extremist" The Enigma & "Straight-Edge Juggalo" Ryan Kendrick)
After Primetime returns from commercial break, the scene opens with this match starting of as a brawl between both teams. Referee Earl Hebner eventually finds a way to control this chaos and force both teams to their respective corners. Ryan Kendrick and Jimmy Jacobs start things off.
Prof. X: This is the moment that you have been waiting for, GZWA fans. We are at the Winners’ Finals of the Tag Team Tournament that will decide which one of these teams has a guaranteed spot in the final match that will decide which team will be crowned the first ever GZWA Tag Team Champions.
The Carter: I’m glad GZWA Management sorted out the confusion of the Losers’ Bracket for we can know who’s still in this thing. I would hate to see any of the great teams we’ve seen compete over the last few months lose their chance to win it big.
Francine: I honestly don’t know who side with here. Both of these teams have come out of nowhere and risen to the occasion in this tournament. I’m just going to keep it simple and say may the best team win.
Prof. X: Well said there, Francine. To be undefeated in this tournament among the sheer amount of exceptional talent in this Tag Team Tournament is an achievement of its own.
Jimmy Jacobs swung wildly towards Ryan Kendrick, who merely sent him into the ropes with an Irish Whip. Jacobs returned on the rebound with a Low Dropkick that knocked Kendrick’s legs out from underneath him. This allowed the Emo Warrior to follow suit with a Leaping Enzuigiri as Kendrick attempted to return to his feet. The Straight-Edge Juggalo caught Jacobs’ leg in motion and Dragon Screwed him to the floor then transitioning into a Leg Lock in one smooth motion. Paige didn’t sit idly by on the ring apron, watching Jimmy Jacobs writhing in pain. Instead, she took matters into her own hands, breaking the hold with a Missile Dropkick to the face of Ryan Kendrick, causing him to break the hold. The Enigma races to Kendrick’s aid in a promptly fashion and tosses Paige over the top rope. The Sociopath lands safely on the ring apron and delivers a kick to Enigma’s midsection, causing him to double over in pain. Paige yanks his head between the ropes and delivers a series of Knee Lifts to his skull before ending with a Rope-Hung DDT from the apron down to the ringside floor. Proud of her handiwork, Paige dusts her hands off with the ordeal before taking the time to return to her spot at The Fallen’s corner.
Francine grins, “And to say that there’s people around here who think that the GZWA Divas can hang with the boys… Well, Danielle Bradley's the main one who is saying that on social media.”
Back in the ring, Jimmy Jacobs takes advantage of Ryan Kendrick’s lack of support with a Senton Bomb to the grounded Straight-Edge Juggalo. With his body draped over Kendrick upon impact, the Emo Warrior makes the pin as The Fallen looks to end this early.
One…
Two…
NO!!!
Kendrick gets the shoulder off the canvas in time and applies an Half Nelson Sleeper to the grounded Jacobs. As Jacobs struggles to get free, Kendrick transitions into a kneeling Inverted Sharpshooter. Once again, Paige attempts to break the hold, but Kendrick stops her with a well-placed Complete Shot while managing to wrench the hold even tighter on the grounded Emo Warrior. Jimmy Jacobs gasps with an audible groan of pain as he finds himself mere moments away from submitting from this agonizing hold.
Prof. X: We’re lucky to have a talent like Ryan Kendrick back with us here in GZWA. The Enigma has performed around the world but has chosen GZWA as home. It’s a blessing to have these talents here in GZWA, along with The Fallen in this Winners’ Final match of the Tag Team Tournament.
The Carter: I still don’t know who to cheer for here, but my pants are saying that I need to root for Paige…
Francine: Ugh...
Fortunately for Jacobs, they were positioned close to the ropes and he managed to hold onto them for dear life as Referee Earl Hebner forced a rope break. As the Emo Warrior leaned on the bottom rope, he gave a sigh of relief after escaping that hairy situation. That relief is short-lived as The Enigma vaulted back up onto the ring apron and struck with an Apron Dropkick. The dazed Emo Warrior spun around back to face Ryan Kendrick and experience a lethal spray of Red Mist. Kendrick misses his mark as Jacobs ducks just in the nick of time, causing Kendrick to blind the Enigma instead. The Fallen took advantage of the Extreme Juggalos’ blunder with a simultaneous Spinning Heel Kick (Jimmy Jacobs) and Sweep (Paige) combination. Jacobs makes the cover and counts along with Hebner.
One…
Two…
Thr--NO!!!
Jimmy Jacobs looks on in disbelief as he pulls at his hair. He beckons Ryan Kendrick to his feet as Kendrick slowly rose back to his feet. Jacobs charged in with an Edge-like Spear, but Kendrick leapfrogs over the incoming road hazard and allows The Enigma to stop Jacobs in his tracks with the Last Resort (Trouble in Paradise). The Emo Warrior drops flat on his spine as Kendrick races over to make the cover.
The Carter: What’s going on? Hebner’s not counting!
Ryan Kendrick and The Enigma both argue with Earl Hebner until Paige knocks both Superstars down to their knees with a Double Chop Block.
Francine: Apparently, no one saw the blind tag Paige made when Jimmy was in the corner before that Spear…
Paige continued her offense with a Double Running Bulldog to the Extreme Juggalos and followed up with an impressive application of two Knightmares (Single Leg Boston Crab) on both men simultaneously.
The Carter: Saraya Knight’s baby girl does it again!
The Enigma and Ryan Kendrick rolled to their feet in tandem, countering the hold with a Double Wheelbarrow Facebuster. With the Anti-Diva on the canvas, Kendrick took the opportunity to tag out to The Enigma (who returned to the ring apron mere moments ago). The High Flying Extremist climbed the turnbuckle and signaled for the No Limit (Corkscrew 630° Swanton Bomb), but Jimmy Jacobs stopped The Enigma with a Running Enzuigiri as he raced across the ring apron. With The Enigma hung up on the top rope, Paige crawled back to her feet and scaled the turnbuckle. She went for a Superplex but The Enigma headbutted her, only for the Anti-Diva to fire one back in response. Ryan Kendrick sprinted back into the ring and knocked Jimmy Jacobs off the ring apron before positioning himself underneath the Anti-Diva, just as she was gaining the upperhand against the High Flying Extremist. Kendrick slams Paige to the canvas with a Powerbomb, but not without dragging The Enigma in a Top Rope Knight Light (Fisherman’s Brainbuster) with her to complete this Tower of Doom as the live crowd goes wild.
Prof. X: Bodies are scattered everywhere, in and out of this ring. When is this madness going to end?
The Carter: Is there any way that both of these teams could advance to the finals? This match keeps playing with my emotions!
Francine: Oh wait, looks like Jimmy Jacobs isn’t out of this yet.
The Emo Warrior drags the already-battered Enigma to his feet and executed the Contra Code (Shiranui) for the win. As Jacobs scaled up the nearby corner, Kendrick staggered to his feet and assisted Enigma with the reversal, dropping Jacobs to the canvas with a toss onto the downed Anti-Diva. This causes Jacobs to land on top of Paige with an impromptu Senton Bomb. Kendrick kicks Jacobs underneath the ropes and out of the ring while Enigma draped one arm over Paige to make the cover.
One…
Two…
THREE!!!
Prof. X: Here are your Winners' Bracket Finalists for the Tag Team Tournament, the Extreme Juggalos.
Francine: That was a great performance by both of these amazing teams.
The Carter: Oooo, look Rhonda Rousey is coming out to celebrate with her boys.
Ryan Kendrick and The Enigma embrace Rhonda in a hug to celebrate their big win into the finals of this tag team tournament as Primetime takes another commercial break.
***Tag Team Tournament - Losers' Bracket***
"The Statement" Victor Phillips & GZWA Women's Champion "The Ultimate Vixen" Raven vs. Ladies of Doom ("Lady So Divine" Delta Madison & "The E.N.D." Endee Leights; w/ Amiee Vaughan (return)
The arena blacks out, signaling the fashionably late entrance of the team of Victor and Raven. The spotlight shines at the head of the ramp the second Raven’s music blasts throughout the arena and she struts out to face her adoring public...solo.
Taking her bow, she advances down to the ring, the spotlight staying on her. Her music fades out with the lights coming back on in the arena. She reaches for a mic before taking a brief moment to flash a Cheshire smile at Delta and Endee. Finally, she waves to Amiee before beginning to speak
“Hey ladies! first thing’s first: I’m gonna give you girls a second to soak up this moment. To really bask and revel in the fact that you’re face-to-face with your Vixen Champion and that she is indeed sharing her ring with you. This is real. Ya ready?”
Raven raised her title in the air, performing a slow turn while soaking in the heat from the crowd. As she made her 360, facing LOD again, she smiled ever so sweetly. In her mind, she did them a big favor. She kept her eyes on Aimee more than the others as she shared two past companies with the fellow redhead
“You’re welcome. Now let’s get down to bidness, shall we? Amiee..Amelia..It’s been a while. So this is what retirement and a baby looks like. Hmp. You look...decent...ish. You two on the other hand. What are yall? What’s this? What’s happening here?”
Raven waved her hand over in the direction of Endee and Delta inquiring who they were, but, at the same time, had a look on her face implying that she didn’t care. Delta doesn’t seem too impressed with Raven as she audibly shouts at her direction.
“I’m Delta Madison, bitch.”
Endee doesn’t look too thrilled as she held Delta back from Raven. By this stage, Amiee had the time to grab a microphone.
“It’s very nice to see you again Rae, seems like you haven’t changed one bit”
Amiee exclaimed with a fake smile upon her face now standing in front of Raven with her hand on her hips. Raven only placed a hand her chest, nodding with a smile, taking it as a genuine compliment.
“And you’re wondering who these two lovely ladies are…”
Amiee points towards Endee and Delta who are standing there impatiently waiting for their match to start.
“Delta Madison and Endee Leights, the Ladies of Doom - the team who will officially pin you down to the mat”
“Awwwww, optimism. How sweet. Word from the wise, hun..You might wanna have the big blonde one spayed and neutered."
Delta went for the microphone but Amiee swiped it away from her reach and continued her talk with Raven.
“She’s perfectly capable, so is my other girl, Endee Leights so I’m very optimistic. But I’m just very confused, Rae do you have a point of this? Where is that partner of yours? Don’t tell me he bailed on ya.”
“No, Victor and I….’talked’... and I convinced him to see things my way for tonight. Long story short, he’s not participating in this match. But you people came here tonight to see your Vixen Champion compete and she will not let you down. Your Vixen Champion has an ace up her sleeve. Your Vixen Champion will no doubt give the Ladies of.. Raven held her free hand up doing air quotes with the next word “Doom” the pleasure of handing them a loss by Moi and the honor of seeing me and my partner walk up the ramp victorious. Your Vixen Champion will-”
Amiee abruptly interrupts the ranting vixen
“AND where is this new partner of yours? Because I can see you stalling. Don’t tell me you don’t have a new partner and you believe you’ve got something to prove by attempting to defeat the Ladies of Doom in a handicap match.”
Raven, who was pacing the ring during her speech, stopped to give Amiee a vicious side-eye before slowly walking up to her.
“Sweetie, just as sure you know that you’re heading for your fourth divorce, from the father of your stepdaughter, know that I don’t like to be interrupted.”
Raven noticed the looks on Endee and Delta’s face regarding Aimee’s marriage. She covered her mouth, gasping in faux shock
“Oh my God! Were we still keeping that under wraps? Amiee, I’m sooo sorry to hear that four isn’t the magic number, but might I suggest something friend to friend? Don’t eat your feelings away. Try to find a hobby like searching for a needle in a haystack, because judging by this arm-” Raven gently pulled out Aimee’s arm in front of her “-that’s a pastime you’re quite familiar with. HA!”
The Ultimate Vixen took the time to begin playing “connect the dots” with the markings on Aimee’s arm.
“Wow, I can make a sailboat on this thing!”
Without hesitation Amiee raises up her arm and slaps the taste out from Raven’s mouth. Raven lets out a faint gasp as she stumbled over, able to catch herself on the ropes. Caught off guard, she was both shocked and pissed as the crowd began to cheer in support of Amiee’s actions.
“Where did you hear that?”
Amiee spoke with annoyance of Raven revealing the fourth divorce she was allegedly going through.
“You must have your sources wrong because I’m not getting divorced. So girl, you better keep your mouth shut before spreading false rumors and stating them as a fact.”
Amiee begun raising her voice and at this stage, Delta was getting restless with the bantering between Amiee and Raven and finally injected herself by forcing the microphone from Amiee’s hand to her mouth.
“Listen up, I’m sick and tired of this bullshit. Let’s just get down to business and fight.”
By now Raven had somewhat recovered from the stinging slap, holding her face as she turned her attention to Delta
“Delta, you sound angry. I didn’t forget about you. I mean, if you want your own special hobby, we can always replace the needle in the Aimee’s haystack with you mother.”
Again, that voice that would tell the average person to think twice before opening their big mouth was non-existent as ever in Raven’s mind. It’s like she was just begging for more. She only smiled at Delta before continuing
“Although finding her would be like finding Carmen Sandiego, am I right? I’m sure with enough ti-”
To the surprise of everyone, Endee charged towards Raven with a punch to the face. Endee did not take the comments about her mother too lightly. Endee started to verbally berate Raven with Delta pushing her at bay. Raven falls backwards to the mat, dropping her title and the mic at the force of the punch. Ever the drama queen, she began shrieking and hyperventilating at the sight of blood coming from her now busted lip. Raven let out small cries, tending to her wound before snatching the mic of the mat, visibly upset.
“That’s it, I’m DONE! I try to be nice and have a civil conversation with you heffas and you attack me? Twice?! And you people are just enjoying this aren’t you?”
The crowd pops off with roaring cheers much to Rae’s dismay. She lowers her mic shouting a few choice words at the audience before turning back to LOD
“Let’s see if me and my partner can put an end to this match faster than your stint in rehand, shall we?”
Raven directs everyone's attention to the ramp for the entrance of Raven’s new partner. Instead, Endee is attack from behind as Amber had made her way through the crowd. Delta looks over their way causing her to be struck on the back of her head with the Vixen Title from Raven. Amber slaps Endee upside the head multiple times before nailing her with a Dashing By (Shining Wizard). Afterwards, she joins Raven in disposing of Delta, tossing her over the ropes as well. the duo turns to Amiee with evil intentions written on their faces. Amber make the first move pie-facing Amiee to the mat where Raven prepares to knock her block off with a Bitch Kick (Chick Kick).
Before Raven can lift her leg up, Endee hobbles to her feet and pushes Amber out of the way and then takes Raven down with a headscissors takedown. Delta then climbs back into the ring and hits Amber with a bulldog lariat. Both Raven and Amber spill to the outside to give themselves a breather. Endee and Delta taunt for them to come back into the ring as the camera cuts to a commercial break.
Coming back from commercial break, Raven and Amber are seen double stomping Endee in their corner conveniently while the ref is busy trying to keep Delta in her corner as she is kept from helping her partner. Raven exits the ring leaving Amber to continue the beatdown. She drags Endee out of the corner to smack her fact first to the mat with a reverse Russian Legsweep before mauling her clubs to the back of the head. She yanks Endee up by the hair to choke her on the 2nd rope, starting the ref 5-count. She breaks it on the count of 4 starting an argument with the ref. This only proves to be a distractions as Raven nails Endee with a knee to the side of her face. Leights falls back to the mat where Amber covers only getting a two count. Amber gets to one knee, slapping Endee in the back of her head, urging her to get up. Endee pops up up spearing Amber in the corner before sending her across the right with a Monkey Flip. Amber hits the mat and rolls up only to get caught with a Float Over DDT.
Before Endee could tag out, Raven rushes in punching her in the throat. She then races over to knock Delta off the apron with a second punch to the throat. Delta falls ringside, gasping for air, as Raven hops out to repeatedly stomp her while she’s down. Dragging Delta to her feet, Raven shoots the guest commentators a smile before hurling Madison over the table to crash on to everyones lap. She races back to her corner to officially get tagged in, receiving a flurry of right hands from a recovering Endee. She forces Raven to the ropes where she launches her with an Irish Whip. Rebounding and ducking under a clothesline, The Ultimate Vixen slides behind Endee, grabs a handful of her hair and forcefully slams her down to the mat via Fall Back (Edge O’Matic). She hooks the leg with one arm while clutching the bottom rope with the other. The ref only counts up to 2 with Amiee pushing Raven’s arm off the rope, causing her to break the pin. Raven tags Amber before going out of the ring to confront Amiee face to face; the ref till focused on the action in the ring. Raven unexpectedly falls to the ground scooting away from Amiee, screaming out for her to “STOP!” in Ric Flair fashion. Amiee walks closer to her looking on confused until the ref looks over ejecting her from ringside.
Amiee tries to plead her case, but the ref still want her gone for “attacking” a competitor. Amiee storms up the ramp in a huff with Raven waving her goodbye with a smile on her face. Endee wipes away that smile with a Baseball Slide kick to the back before tossing Amber out next to her and tagging in a recovering Delta. Together they perform a make-shift Delta Light Wave (Poetry In Motion) with Endee launching herself off Delta’s back and flying over the ropes to crossbody Raven and Amber. She rolls Amber the ring while she handles Raven. Delta deals out a combination of strikes before ending with a Heel Kick to the jaw leaving her in the perfect position for a Delta Force (Shooting Star Press). Delta climbs the turnbuckle and launches herself for the finish, but Amber rolls out of the way on the apron. Delta notices this in time and lands on her feet avoiding a crash. Amber springboards off the top rope for a Ambercanrana (Springboard Hurricanrana) but it doesn’t work in her favor as Delta catches her and reverses with a sit-out powerbomb pin.
One...
Two...
The refs hand starts to come down for three but Amber kicks out just in time. Delta begins to pull Amber up for her next move, but Amber pulls her down applying The Bitch Fit submission (Batista Bite) in the middle of the ring. Outside, Endee and Raven have taken their brawl around the ring, with Endee reversing an Irish Whip sending Raven into the steel steps. Just as it looks like Delta is on the verge of tapping, Endee races in to break the submission hold just in time with a stalling dropkick to the face. Endee climbs the turnbuckle waiting for Amber to get to her feet for her next ariel move. Instead, she gets a surprise from behind as Raven gets back in the match climbing the turnbuckle ropes, from the apron, next to her with elbows to the head. The Ultimate Vixen dazes Endee enough pull her in and dive off with a high impact Half Nelson Facebuster to the outside, slamming Endee on the ring apron. Delta slides over to check on her partner as Amber makes a tag to Raven. Together they drag Delta back in the middle of the ring, but she fight back knocking Amber out with a Dropsault before turning her attention over to Amber, unaware of the tag. Amber hold her hands out defensively, stopping Delta’s advances before sliding out of the ring. Delta Madison tries to process this but isn’t given much time as Raven strikes with a Bitch Kick (Chick Kick) to the back of her head. Raven cockily flips Delta over as she goes for the pin.
One!
Two!
Unfortunately for her, the ref doesn’t make it to three as she is pulled from the pin, to ringside, by Tia and Mariah. Raven looks at them wide-eye and Amber join her side to push her sister to the ground. Raven smugly looks Tia up and down not even bothering to retaliate. Amber and Raven slide back in the ring still staring down Queen Bee Mafia over the ropes. A rising Delta takes advantage of this moment dumping Amber over the top rope before rolling Raven into a schoolboy roll-up pin.
ONE!
TWO!
Endee gingerly crawls on Delta’s back putting more pressure on the pin as the ref slams his hand down for the “THREE!” giving The Ladies of Doom the win. Delta grabs her partner and escapes the ring as Amber joins hers in shock of what just happened. Raven grands her title, holding it close to her chest, borderline hyperventilating at the loss.
Prof. X: Looks like the Queen Bee Mafia had the last laugh here, despite what Raven and Amber did to Mariah.
Francine: There's always a method to the madness, Professor. That explains why Mariah wasn't too gung-ho about getting physical with them earlier tonight.
The Carter: I'm sad to see our precious Vixen Champion eliminated out of this Tag Team Tournament though.
***Tag Team Tournament - Losers' Bracket***
INked (Keri Cruz & Greg Ramirez; w/ Chanel Rodriguez) vs. The Bradleys ("The Next Level" Mike Bradley & Danielle Bradley)
Special Guest Commentary: GZWA Television Champion "Hardcore Harlot" Amanda Cortez
As Primetime returned from commercial break, the cameras catch a brief glimpse of the newly crowned GZWA Television Champion, Amanda Cortez, taking a selfie before exiting the curtain to join the commentary team for the next match.
Amanda sits down next to Carter at the end of the table as she’s greeted by the team.
Prof. X: Welcome aboard, Miss Cortez. Congratulations on your big win at Final Encounter. How does it feel to be the first woman in GZWA to win the Television title?
Amanda: Thank you, Professor. It feels DAMN good. I’m so proud to be representing the Divas, or rather Vixens, on this history-making occasion.
Francine: I hope you know that you have a huge target on your back now that you’ve got that thing. Are you up to the challenge?
Amanda: What challenge? I’m not scared of the Bradleys, nor am I afraid of Carnage or anyone else who wants to fight me for this belt.
The Carter: I’m loving that dress, by the way.
Amanda crosses her legs, allowing him to get a good view of her legs, “GZWA’s new champion has to look her best, after all."
Prof. X: How do you feel about Serena Dent's ruling to ban The MisFits from ringside during this match?
Amanda shrugs, "It doesn't bother me. It's not like the Bradleys could win tonight anyway..."
Both teams start off by taking a moment to address the cheers from the live crowd. The Bradleys and INked are feeling their own hype as the tension and anticipation is thick in the air tonight. Greg Ramirez and Mike Bradley start things off for their respective teams. The Nevel Level starts things off with a series of rights to the jaw of Ramirez before retreating briefly with a backflip, only to return with a Clothesline. Ramirez stops Mike in his tracks with a Single Knee Facebuster to send the former Television Champion reeling. Ramirez charges towards the reeling Mike with a Shining Wizard, only for the Next Level to respond with a Spinebuster. Danielle tags herself in and delivers Handspring Splash to the downed Ramirez. She hooks his leg for the pin as Referee Earl Hebner makes the count.
One…
NO!!!
Keri Cruz breaks the count with a Double Axe Handle to Danielle’s spine, much to the delight of Chanel Rodriguez at ringside. Greg Ramirez took the opportunity to tag out to Keri Cruz. Cruz races over to make the first move on the waking Danielle, but she face-plants him into the canvas with a Drop Toe Hold. Danielle tags out to Mike before suspending Cruz into the air with a Surfboard. The Next Level slingshots himself back into the ring with a splash. Cruz writhes in pain after Danielle releases the hold and returns to the ring apron. Mike took the opportunity to show off with a headstand dropped into a Leg Drop, but Cruz rolls out of harm’s way. Cruz tagged back out to Ramirez before the duo struck hard with the Raided (Bicycle Yakuza Kick & Springboard 450 Splash combination) to the seated Next Level. Ramirez makes the cover.
One…
Two…
NO!!!
Danielle dragged him off Mike with a Grapevine Ankle Lock. Keri Cruz removed this annoyance off his partner with authority by delivering a Sitout Facebuster. Danielle rolls out of the ring to recuperate, but Cruz is sent to join her at ringside as he spun around directly into the pending Super Kick from Mike Bradley. Much like Cruz mere seconds ago, Mike Bradley let his guard down, which allowed Greg Ramirez to capitalize on the situation with a German Suplex. With Mike’s shoulders on the canvas, Ramirez transitioned into an application of the RatchetTamer (Cattle Mutilation). Chanel claps excitedly at ringside as Hebner looks for any signs of the Next Level about to submit to the hold.
Prof. X: Looks like Mike Bradley is in trouble.
Amanda: Wait and see. Mike's going to tap just like a bitch...
Francine: So, just like Carter then?
Amanda: Exactly. Hmm, you're not so stupid after all, Francine. Hahaha.
Francine: Funny, I was about to say the same thing about you, Amanda.
The Carter: I'm standing right here, ladies.
Mike shook his head with determination and rolled his shoulders to shake himself out of the hold. Mike took control of the situation with a Inverted Sitout Suplex Slam to leave Ramirez grounded as Chanel pounded on the ring apron furiously to urge him to get up. Mike Bradley pointed to the turnbuckle and perched above in preparation for the Hang 20 (Corkscrew Moonsault).
Amanda: Hold on, I want to show Mike what I think about him.
The Carter: What are you doing, Amanda?
His flight plans are postponed as Amanda Cortez stood up from her seat at the commentary table to flip him off. The distraction was long enough to give Ramirez time to knock the Next Level from the top rope and down to the ringside floor with a Springboard Dropkick.
Amanda laughs at Mike’s blunder, but promptly returns to her seat as she didn’t want to get involved in this match since she didn’t want to give the Bradleys the win here via disqualification nor did she want to give Mike Bradley yet another reason to complain.
Francine: Had fun?
Amanda adjusts her top after bending down to pick up her headset, "Of course. I ruined Mike's parade. That's a plus in my book... And Carter, you can stick your eyes back into your head and take your hand out of your pants."
The Carter stutters, "I-I-I dunno what you're talking about..."
Prof. X: Well, it looks like INked aren't going down without a fight here.
Keri Cruz runs off the ring apron and connects with a Diving Sitout Clothesline to the waking Mike Bradley and rolls him back into the ring for Ramirez to continue delivering crippling blows with the G-Crush (Sitout Double Underhook Facebuster). Greg Ramirez then takes a page out of Mike Bradley’s playbook and points to the turnbuckle in preparation for the Mizard Greg as Keri Cruz returned back onto INked’s corner on the ring apron. Just like Mike Bradley before him, Ramirez finds his flight plans postponed as Danielle races across the ring apron and attacks with a Tornado DDT to Keri Cruz, while managing to kick Ramirez in motion as she’s driving Cruz to the floor. Chanel Rodriguez races to Cruz’s side, urging Keri Cruz to get back up as Greg Ramirez is clearly in trouble.
Danielle rolled back into the ring and hit the D-Train (Elijah Express) as he laid hung up on the top turnbuckle while Mike vaulted up to the second rope and threw Ramirez from the top rope with the Final Boss (Standing Moonsault Side Slam) to complete their Level D combination maneuver. Mike covers Ramirez as Hebner makes the pin.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Prof. X: I'm sad to see them go, but INked are eliminated from the Tag Team Tournament while The Bradleys advance in the Losers' Bracket.
Amanda rolls her eyes as she discards her headset, "Just fucking great..."
Amanda is show applauding sarcastically after The Bradleys win, but the Hardcore Harlot's game is short-lived as Mike and Danielle raced to corner her at ringside. Amanda wisely chooses to shove Chanel Rodriguez into the arms of The Bradleys to allow herself to escape backstage without conflict as Primetime took a commercial break.
Main Event:
***Tag Team Tournament - Losers' Bracket***
GZWA World Heavyweight Champion "The People's Champ" Hano Eiyu & "The Unholy Angel" Kayda Erikson vs. Straight-Edge Saviors ("Best in the World" CM Punk & "The Dark Savior" Suicide)
After the opening bell, the match starts off between the Dark Savior and the Unholy Angel. Suicides opens with a Clothesline, only for Kayda to respond with a Double Knee Armbreaker before yanking him by the same arm and sending him into the ropes with an Irish Whip. Suicide hangs onto the ropes to mock her, which only fueled to set off her volatile temper. Kayda charges with a Spear through the ropes, but Suicide drops from his position and stops her in her tracks with a well-placed Jumping High Knee. Suicide slingshots himself back into the ring and pins her to the canvas with an Oklahoma Roll.
One…
Two…
WAIT!!
Kayda Erikson rolls out of the pin and turns the tables with an application of the Heartless (Cloverleaf/Liontamer combination). Suicide elbows her from behind to force her to loosen her grip, allowing him to turn the tables into his favor with an application of an STF. The Unholy Angel fights wildly against the hold, but Suicide improvises with an Elevated Double Underhook Chickenwing. Kayda still squirms wildly in the hold, causing Suicide to drop her prematurely. The Unholy Angel uses this opening to retaliate with a Neckbreaker Slam after she landed safely behind the Dark Savior. Suicide crawls to his feet on all-fours as Kayda rebounds from the ropes with a Scissor Kick. Suicide caught her thigh in motion and countered with the Suicide Solution (Overhead Flipping Leg Hook Belly to Back Suplex). Kayda leaps onto the Dark Savior’s shoulders in motion and responds with a counter of her own in the form of Hurracanrana to fling him across the ring. Allowing her anger to get the best of her, Kayda hits the ropes and recklessly Spears Suicide through the ropes with a suicide dive - no pun intended - to the ringside floor.
CM Punk and Hano Eiyu look to their downed partners at ringside and shrugged in unison before stepping into the ring.
Prof. X: For those who weren’t keeping up with the action, Hano Eiyu and CM Punk made blind tags to their partners during this last exchange, thus making them the legal Superstars in this match.
The Carter stutters, “I knew that…”
Francine: You looked as clueless as the MisFits when you ask them what a condom is for.
CM Punk and Hano Eiyu stretch briefly as they smirk at the cheers of anticipation of this physical encounter. CM Punk suggests an idea to Hano Eiyu as he looks confused. The People’s Champ does as he’s instructed and finger pokes the Best in the World in the chest. CM Punk drops instantly to the canvas, prone on his back.
Prof. X: Don’t tell me that was the Finger Poke of Doom!
Francine: Oh god, don’t tell me that Punk is going to hand the win to Hano Eiyu like this…
The Carter: I can’t believe this!!
Hano Eiyu looks confused, but quickly catches on to CM Punk’s game and refuses to go along with this to the delight of the crowd. CM Punk sprung back to his feet and drove Hano Eiyu face-first into the canvas with a Complete Shot. The Best in the World doesn’t stop there as he applies a Koji Clutch. The People’s Champ resists against the hold and manages to slowly rise to his feet with CM Punk on his shoulders. Hano Eiyu breaks the hold with a Fireman’s Carry Backbreaker.
Francine: Uh oh, here comes trouble…
Prof. X: What’s she doing back out here?
The Carter: That’s the hottie who dealt Suicide a ‘low blow’ at Final Encounter.
The mystery woman approaches Suicide from behind as he staggered to his feet, but the woman is slapped to the floor by the Unholy Angel. She screams, “HE’S MY PREY!!”
The Carter: Now that’s my kind of woman - one who isn’t afraid to mark her territory.
Francine: Sounds like you need a good bitch in your life… In case that you’re wondering, I mean a DOG since I’m sure no human female could fathom the thought of dating you.
Back in the ring, Hano Eiyu goes for Nexus Polaris (Shooting Star Leg Drop) to the grounded CM Punk, but the Best in the World moves out of harm’s way. Hano Eiyu lands safely on his feet, but Punk races back to his feet like a cat on the prowl, capitalizing with an Uranage. The People’s Champ elbows out of the Uranage and goes for one of his own. Like Hano Eiyu, CM Punk counters with an elbow to Hano Eiyu’s skull and shoves him into the corner. CM Punk pursues his prey into the corner with a Running High Knee, but Hano Eiyu counters with a Snake Eyes, dropping the Straight-Edge Savior onto the top turnbuckle. The People’s Champ wastes no time performing the Creeping Death (Top Rope Death Valley Driver). After Punk’s body crashes to the canvas, Hano Eiyu wastes no time making the cover.
One…
Two…
Thre--NO!!!
The Swordsman from the West doesn’t lose his resolve as he strikes with Cartwheel Elbow Strike to the waking CM Punk. CM Punk catches Hano Eiyu in motion and slams him to the canvas with an Arm-Trap Swinging Neckbreaker. CM Punk climbed the top rope and signalled for a “Macho Man” Randy Savage-inspired Diving Elbow Drop. The Unholy Angel slid back into the ring to halt his flight plans by climbing up the turnbuckle and trading blows with Punk. Hano Eiyu shook off the cobwebs and joined with Kayda to double their efforts as the duo attempted a Double Superplex from the top rope. Fortunately for the Straight-Edge Savior, Suicide sprung back into the mix after springboarding from the ropes with the Mega Buster (Jumping Hangman’s Neckbreaker) to the Unholy Angel. This show of force didn’t deter Hano Eiyu as he positioned CM Punk for the People’s Powerbomb.
Prof. X: Ladies and gentlemen, that’s the very move that won Hano Eiyu the championship at Final Encounter.
Francine: Sadly, that won’t be move that’s going to end this match…
CM Punk shoves Hano Eiyu to the canvas to counter and hops back down from the top rope. Hano Eiyu kips back up with his feet with a Jumping Spin Kick to the Best in the World. Punk ducks underneath the kick, lifts the People’s Champ onto his shoulders, and hits the Go To Sleep. Punk makes the cover.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
After the match, CM Punk retrieves the GZWA World Heavyweight Championship and returns to the ring. CM Punk stares at the title for a moment while Hano Eiyu staggered back to his feet. The two Superstars stare down as their eyes both fall onto the World Heavyweight title.
Prof. X: Don’t tell me that this is going to get ugly when the title is brought into the picture.
CM Punk broke the silence between them and handed Hano Eiyu the championship before raising Hano Eiyu’s arm in triumph, urging the crowd cheer him (along with Kayda Erikson) for their amazing performance tonight.
Francine: See? And you were worried about this ending ugly. Well, wait. Carter’s still here so maybe I’ve spoken too soon.
The Carter: Normally I would be insulted by that remark, Franny, but I know deep down you love me.
Francine: No amount of alcohol nor drugs could sway me to think that, Carter.
Suicide helps Kayda Erikson to her feet and kisses her hand like a gentleman. Kayda sighs in defeat, but takes her hand away while the audience continues to cheer these two teams as tonight’s edition of Primetime comes to a close.
