Proudly Presents:
Devils May Cry
Recorded Date: June 12, 2015
Air Date: June 23, 2015
The show begins with Elvis Crespo “Suavemente” blasting through the speakers, before boos shower in the arena.
The expression he is giving when he’s walking down the ramp is no different from the past Primetime shows-serious and discontent. Because of the microphone in his hands, he is also in the vocal mood.
“What a rough way to start, eh? Well, I’d like to start
“But as of today, there are going to be some changes around here. Changes that I have to make in order to be a household name here just like I am in the indies. In order to announce one of those changes, I need someone out here in the ring, because it addresses this individual.”
“So, let’s get to it. Mei, if you may, come out here…por favor.”
A brief moment of silence surrounds the arena, until finally a gong sounds off. This leads to massive cheers from the audience before the pop introduction begins. Mei Long, dressed in a casual white tanktop and blue jeans, enters the arena from backstage. By the look on her face, she is surprised over the Cuban Hooligan calling for her, of all people.
“Welcome, Mei. Feeling good, today?
He awaits an answer from Mei, but she is still too confused to react.
“Good. So we’ve been together for years, right? I’m sure the audience has been aware of that already.”
Mei nods her head with a smile, causing the situation to be at ease, or so she believes.
“And the audience already knows about my purpose in being here. You know so too right? ”
“Since we got the point of that out of the way, I can finally get to the point of you being on stage right now, mi amor.”
“I’ve told you before that joining the Authority was by force, and even by that, I could find a way to break from it. I could find a way to fight this difficult battle of being held in chains by Xion Zeros and the rest of his minions backstage. I could fight the battle. Yes, I have told you, and what did you do?”
“You chose to think about yourself!”
Mei quickly expresses shock, and tries to tell her story to him. Her volume is barely noticeable to the audience by how close she was to the microphone.
“Wait, I was only….”
“What? You were doing it for me? No, you were not! You thought about yourself and your injustice. All this time, I’ve tried to help you with seizing your title again after losing it to Raven. I thought I was doing it out of love, and there was nothing wrong with that, but then I realized, when have you ever done anything for me?”
“Convincing you to break away from AJ Styles? That was for you. Defending your honor against those…sneaky little putas? That was for you. Fighting your battles against one Superstar after another. That was for you. I’ve had to fend for myself since I’ve been here. Resigning my contract was all my doing.
“Being in the Authority was hell on earth, but now I’m starting to see why I was there. Carnage has been more of a friend here than anyone else in this company. His many failures before winning his championship reflect that. You, however, can’t seem to understand that, because you are so stuck in your little ways that you are jeopardizing that. Even when I tell you not to fight him, you do it anyways. To make matters worse, YOU! You fling around with that…..little rata!”
“Hold up!”
“You stubborn buuuurrraaaahhhh! Do you not understand about how I feel about that? I try to handle this situation, and you are dancing around, “kung-fu sparing” with the enemy? That tells you that it was for yourself, and because of having to baby you, I’m missing on some championship gold. I’m missing golden opportunities here. As of now, that is going to change. You know what that means, Mei?”
Romero leans in towards Mei’s face with a Cheshire grin. Mei, still in disbelief.
“You know? Uh-Huh! I’m kicking your little culo to the curb! ”
Showering boos from the audience now level up into a flood. Puzzled Mei begins to weep. Before the Beautiful Dragon turns away from him, hiding her faces with her hands, Romero begins to kick the dog more.
“That’s right, honey. Since you don’t seem to listen to my very wishes, then I don’t see why we should be together.”
“Don’t you try that sulking with me, Mei! You have only yourself to blame! Time and time again, I’ve tried to tell you to stay away from my battles. I got this. I GOT THI-“
SLAP!
Romero suddenly cuts off mid-sentence. The audience now showering positive energy in the arena with lauding cheers. Romero touches his cheek….to ease the pain after Mei back-handed him.
If that wasn’t enough retaliation, Mei snatches the microphone from Romero’s hand, speaking of her reaction to this news.
“Wow, that’s a beautiful speech you just gave. Very cute. I was beginning to see why you were acting this way towards me. You expected me to do nothing but play housewife, while you did all of the work and played with your “friend” Carnage, but are you aware that in order to become a champion, you must actually do the work? I did that, and I got my chance at the title, and won it. Now, you expect me to do nothing at all? Clearly, you are an idiot if you think so.”
“And since we are on the discussion of “friends”, “doing work” and “Carnage”, you expect some type of change being alongside the Authority? You expect “championship gold” kissing their behind? Don’t be silly, Rocky. The proof is Carnage’s status compared to yours. He wins the championship, and what are you? His lackey. His shadow. You believe that you are showing some appreciation pondering to Carnage’s every movements? But, there is one thing you can’t seem to understand…”
“I LOVED YOU, ROCKY! More than anyone in the past. Why? We were essentially the same. Same determination, same positive aura. Same style of wrestling. Just the fact that we were both willing to defy the usual standards that this company expects us to follow. Not even Carnage, as a friend, can give those things being the Authority’s personal pet.”
“I guess if there is one thing we can’t go is our same directions, huh?”
“You know what? Fine then. Fine! If you believe that I am of hindrance to you, then I won’t help you any longer. Stay with the Authority and your “friend” for all I care.”
Mei shoves the microphone right back to Romero, before exiting the ring.
** Singles Match **
"The American Predator" Zane vs. Sheik MMA
Zane and Sheik are already in the ring and Zane was not happy with last primetime when Shiek got him disqualified in the match against undertaker.
The Carter: You can be sure that Zane wants Sheik head on a steel spike.
Prof. X: No doubt after what Shiek did, you can be sure Zane is out for revenge.
Shiek the grabs a mic and he begins to speak.
Shiek: You stupid americans, what I did at prime time was set the record straight. You stupid americans need to suffer for what you did to my people and right now ...I’m going to make an example out of Zane.
He drops the mic and he goes and charge after Zane and Zane moves out of the way. Zane then comes running in with a clothesline that turned Sheik inside out. Shiek then gets up and Zane grabs him by the head and Sheik hits a punch into Zane stomach. He hits another punch, but Zane then grabs his fist and Sheik look up as Zane hits a high knee to his face. Sheik falls to the ground and holds his face. He begins to crawl.
Francine: Looks like Sheik is getting what he deserves.
Sheik gets up and he goes into the corner and Zane comes running and hits a clothesline and Sheik goes up in air and lands hard on the mat. He then picks up Sheik and throws him out of the ring. Sheik lands on his back and he starts to stand up. Zane comes running and hits a suicide dive and Shiek moves out of the way.
The Carter: Damn, Zane lands hard on the outside mat. Reminds me of my high school days.
Francine: What, the chicks hated you back then also.
The Carter: Always have to hate.
Francine: To you ...yes.
Sheik then picks up Zane and throws him in the ring. Zane on the Mat on his back and Shiek climbs the turnbuckle and he hits a splash and Zane Rolls out of the way and he gets up and hits A New Dawn and he covers Sheik and the Ref counts.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE...
.png)
WINNER: "The American Predator" Zane.
Francine: Zane has beaten Sheik is what could be interesting match. Zane pretty much dominated but Sheik did get a few hits in.
The Carter: Yea but that wasn’t enough.
Zane gets up and the ref raises his hand in the air.
** Non-sanctioned Match **
"Lady So Divine" Delta Madison vs. "The E.N.D." Endee Leights
Prof. X: For GZWA fans wondering why these former teammates are at odds, allow me to offer a brief recap. Both Vixens are veterans and active competitors on the TWE roster which recently saw Endee Leights turn to the dark side as she betrayed Delta Madison. Both Vixens went to GZWA Chairman Xion Zeros and requested to iron out their family dispute in the ring here on tonight’s Pay-Per-View event, despite that Delta Madison is already booked to compete as part of the Queen of Queens Tournament Semi-Finals later tonight.
Francine: I’m sure her opponent, Alice Shadow, is loving this turn of events as win, lose, or draw - the Lady So Divine is going to be going into the Semi-Finals with reduced stamina.
Prof. X: Stamina and endurance are definitely going to be factors at play here tonight for Delta Madison.
Both siblings don’t even wait for the opening bell to get their hands on each other as Delta Madison tackles Endee Leights to the canvas with a double leg takedown. Endee rolls over on top of Delta and pummels her with a fury of strikes before the Lady So Divine turns the tables with an Juji Gatame. Endee panics and flips Delta over with a Hair Pull Snapmare to release the hold prematurely before following suit with a Jumping Double Foot Stomp into Delta’s abdomen. Delta Madison gasps in pain loudly as Endee wastes no time covering the Lady So Divine.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!!
Endee Leights argues the count with the referee before turning her attention back towards the waking Delta Madison. The E.N.D. sought to
end this match quickly literally with a Leights Out (Shining Wizard). Delta caught Endee on her shoulders and tossed her into the ropes with a Running Release Powerbomb (a la Seth Rollins). The E.N.D. rebounds from the ropes and walks right into the pending Northern Lights Suplex from the Lady So Divine who bridges her body upon impact into a pin of her own.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!!
The Carter: Looks like Delta Madison took a page out of Chris Matthews’ playbook there.
Francine: Not surprising to say that they dated briefly…
The Lady So Divine wasn’t deterred by the E.N.D.’s kickout and continued her offense with a Delirious (Cartwheel Backflip Splash). Things didn’t go according to plan as Endee quit playing possum long enough to roll up Delta in a Backslide Pin.
ONE…
TWO…
WAIT!!
Delta Madison reverses their positions and drags Endee back to her feet before slamming her back to the canvas with a Cobra Clutch Bomb. The Lady So Divine follows up with a DeltaSault (Moonsault from the 2nd rope), only for Endee to defend with her knees up. The E.N.D. wisely rolls out of the ring to recuperate and snatches Zoey Valentine’s chair from ringside before returning to the ring.
Prof. X: Remember this is a non-sanctioned match so pretty much anything goes…
After sliding back into the ring, armed with a steel chair, Endee Leights grabbed Delta Madison by the hair and flung her into the corner with a vicious Mat Slam, whiplashing her spine against the corner post. The E.N.D doesn’t stop there as she performs a mock Vandaminator (RVD Running Dropkick assisted with steel chair) by means of her own signature Future Endeevours (Triangle Dropkick) to the Lady So Divine in the corner.
Endee Leight then hit the kill switch in the form of Endeeure (Jumping Tornado DDT) to the reeling Delta Madison in the corner. Somehow the Lady So Divine manages to fight back by throwing Endee to the canvas to interrupt the execution of the maneuver. Just as Endee got on all-fours to will herself back to a vertical base, Delta planted her face onto the steel chair with a Running Bulldog from out of the corner. Delta then takes the steel chair and drapes it over Endee’s body before ascending the top rope again. Delta puts her body on the line with a successful Delta Force (Shooting Star Press). The Lady So Divine writhes in pain after impact before making the pin on Endee Leights.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!
WINNER: "Lady So Divine" Delta Madison.
Delta's post-match victory celebration is short-lived before she turned to Endee Leights. To her surprise, Delta extended a hand to help her back to her feet. Endee reluctantly accepted the gesture, especially after what these two Vixens have put themselves through. The two sisters stared down before Endee pat Delta on the back before exiting the ring.
Prof. X: Seems like Delta and Endee may have gotten that sibling rivalry out of their systems.
Francine: I hope so. The GZWA Nation deserves to see the Ladies of Doom back on the same page again.
The Carter: I hope that match didn't take too much out of Delta Madison. She's still got another match tonight!
** Grudge Match **
"The Dream Killer" Ry Drake vs. "The Cuban Hooligan" Rocky Romero
Prof. X: Mere moments ago, we saw that the relationship between Rocky Romero and Mei Long has come to an end...
Francine: Uh-oh, Carter might be able to catch her on the rebound...
The Carter: Really??
Francine: Does a snowball have a chance in hell? I think not.
The Cuban Hooligan walks down the entrance ramp with his usual arrogant swagger as the Dream Killer stood in the ring, awaiting his arrival. The Dream Killer's impatience got the best of him as Ry Drake greets Rocky Romero by flying out of the ring with a Suicide Dive through the ropes. Both Superstars crash onto the bottom of entrance ramp.
The Carter: Here we go, folks!
Both Superstars stagger to their feet brawling all around ringside until Ry Drake headbutts Rocky Romero before Irish whipping him into the ringside barricade. The Dream Killer backs away briefly before charging back in with a Running Splash to Romero in the corner. The Cuban Hooligan reacted with an Exploder Suplex to counter the incoming Splash by throwing Ry Drake into the side of the barricade. The Cuban Hooligan doesn't stop there as he positioned himself onto the ring apron. As Ry Drake staggered to his face, Rocky Romero races off ring apron with High Knee.
The Carter: My God, the Cuban Hooligan is going straight to business here.
Francine: You could say he's much more focused now that he's not distracted with the Beautiful Dragon...
The Carter: She can "distract" me all she wants.
Prof. X: What's Romero trying to do now??
Rocky Romero is shown tearing away the protective padding on the floor and exposes the unprotected concrete floor. Rocky Romero then moved Drake into position and motions for Double Underhook DDT onto the unprotected floor. Ry Drake's survival instincts kick in just time to counter with a STO Backbreaker. With Rocky Romero down on all-fours, Ry Drake craved victory and went for the kill in the form of the Assassination (Jumping Curb Stomp). This time, the Cuban Hooligan's survival instincts save him from Drake's offense as Romero elevated the Dream Killer into the air and delivered Fireman's Carry Double Knee Gutbuster as Ry Drake fell from the heavens.
As Ry Drake laid writhing in pain, the Cuban Hooligan didn't show any signs of remorse before executing a Kurayami Piledriver (Kneeling Reverse Piledriver) on the exposed concrete floor.
Several fans in attendance gasp in unison at the shock of Ry Drake's body impacting to the floor and going limp as he slumped to the floor.
Prof. X:HE'S GOT A FAMILY, DAMMIT!! SOMEONE COME OUT HERE AND STOP THIS!!!
Francine: To be honest, this match never "officially" started since both Superstars weren't ever in the ring together at the start. Ry Drake just took it into his own hands to start things in his own impromptu manner.
The Carter: Thank god. The EMTs are already out here for Ry Drake can get the medical attention that he needs.
While the Dream Killer laid lifeless at his feet, the Cuban Hooligan stood on the barricade mocking and taunting the GZWA Nation as the EMTs loaded Ry Draker onto a stretcher. The EMTs wrapped a neck brace around the Dream Killer's neck and wheeled up the entrance ramp.
Prof. X: It saddens me to see this match ending abruptly like this, but I feared for Ry Drake's well-being if this match was allowed to continue. Who knows if Drake hasn't suffered a career-threatening injury from that brutal attack?
Francine: Sadly that goes with the territory, professor. Ry Drake knew what he agreed to when he accepted this match.
The Carter: What's going on? Is that guy crazy?
The cameras pan back towards Ry Drake being wheeled up the entrance ramp by the EMTs. The Dream Killer is shown shoving the medical staff away as he rolls off the stretcher and races back down the entrance ramp. Ry Drake slid into the ring and stopped Rocky Romero's victory celebration with Running Busaiku Knee (Daniel Bryan's Knee Plus) from behind.
Prof. X: Looks like this match is going to continue, folks.
With the Cuban Hooligan grounded, Ry Drake applies a Dragon Sleeper Hold. Rocky Romero slowly fades in the hold with the referee looking for any signs of the Superstar willing to submit or loss of consciousness. The Cuban Hooligan wills himself back to his feet and breaks the hold by shoving their bodies into the corner post. Rocky Romero tore the neck brace from around the Dream Killer's neck and threw it to the floor. The Cuban Hooligan hit the ropes and rebound with the first in a series of clotheslines into the corner. Rocky Romero repeats this offense again and again, before Ry Drake counters with Reverse STO onto the bottom turnbuckle.
The crowd is fully behind Ry Drake as Rocky Romero staggered to his feet before the Dream Killer struck with the Laid Out (Strong Right Kick to the head). Rocky Romero collapses face-first into the canvas and Ry Drake makes the cover with the GZWA Nation counting along.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!!
WINNER: "The Dream Killer" Ry Drake.
*** Queen of the Cage Match ***
"Wonder Girl" Ashley Wonder vs. "The Guru" Danielle Bradley vs. "Miss Murder" Mandisa Carter vs. "The Georgia Peach" Morgan Davis
The cameras return to the ring with the steel cage lowered for the next match as ring announcer Zoey Valentine stood in the middle of the ring.
Zoey Valentine raises the microphone to her lips before the competitors come to the ring, "There was a slight bit of confusion among the GZWA Nation regarding the rules of this match on ReAction. It is NOT limited to those individuals who lost in the Queen of Queens Tournament, but rather to the entire Vixens division. That being said, this match is an elimination-style match where the winner shall be the last woman standing, BUT in the result of one Vixen managing to escape the cage, that woman will be instantly deemed the winner of this match."
Zoey Valentine promptly left the ring after introducing the individuals in this match for the ringside officials could secure the cage.
Prof. X: We're a little light on competition for this one, aren't we?
Francine: I wouldn't sell the Vixen division short on any day of the week to be quite honest.
The Carter: Amber Torres reportedly requested some tonight off with Jaser Cruz.
Francine: Birds of a feather, flock together. I'm sure they are still licking their wounds after their losses on Primetime.
Prof. X: Could be, but the best thing one could do in times like that is to walk away for a little while and take your mind off things before coming back into the game even more ferocious than before.
Francine: Very true, professor. We have four women who have a lot to prove to the GZWA Nation tonight.
The match erupts into a brawl between the four Vixens as Danielle Bradley and Ashley Wonder trade blows while Morgan Davis and Mandisa Carter ignite the bitter rivalry between the Clique and the Queen Bee Mafia once more. Morgan Davis greeted the resident Amazon of the Clique with a kick to the midsection, only for Miss Murda to catch the Georgia Peach’s arm underneath her arm. Mandisa then elevated Morgan overhead before tossing her against the cage wall. After Morgan’s spine bounds off of the unforgiving steel, Mandisa elevates Morgan above again - this time with a Stalling Brainbuster. The Wonder Girl ducked an incoming Leg Lariat from the Guru, only to walk straight into a Big Boot from Miss Murda as she still held Morgan on her shoulders. Danielle and the waking Ashley get on the same page momentarily as they sweep Mandisa Carter off of her feet in unison, causing Morgan Davis to fall on top of her with an impromptu diving splash, pinning her to mat.
ONE…
TW--NO!!!
Mandisa powers out, tossing Morgan across the ring. Morgan Davis returns to her feet at the same time as Mandisa Carter sat up from the canvas. Morgan, Danielle, and Ashley form a silent bond as they all Irish whip Mandisa into the cage wall. The trio repeat this gesture again and again to the adjacent steel walls. As they attempt to send her into the remaining wall, Mandisa elbows Ashley in the gut and shoves Danielle and Morgan into the unforgiving steel instead. After the faces bounce off of the cage walls, Mandisa displays her power once more by lifting both Danielle Bradley AND Morgan Davis in a double Stalling Brainbuster. The Wonder Girl quickly regained her bearings and sent all 3 Vixens to the canvas with a well-placed Missile Dropkick. With all three Vixens down, Ashley seems conflicted. Little Wonder urges her to take the easier route by escaping the cage.
The Carter: That’s not very heroic…
Francine: Can you blame her? Avoid all of that unnecessary drama and get the win while all of the other Vixens are down!
Ashley Wonder slowly ascends the cage as the other Vixens began to stir on the canvas. Mandisa Carter is the first to return to her feet and pursue her prey up the cage. As Ashley reached the top of the cage, Mandisa snagged her by the leg and wouldn’t let go. Ashley kicked Mandisa in the head with her free leg to send her reeling as she stood on top of the turnbuckle on shaky legs, but Danielle Bradley was there to hinder Ashley’s escape plans. The Wonder Girl smashed Danielle’s face into the cage and walked across the edge of the cage before delivering a Diving Hurracanrana to the dazed Mandisa. Miss Murda caught Wonder Girl on her shoulders and powerbombed her into the corner at the top of the cage. Morgan Davis then positioned herself underneath Mandisa Carter and powerbombed Mandisa to the mat while she still had Ashley Wonder in tow in a makeshift Tower of Doom (Simultaneous Corner Powerbomb and Modified Fallaway Facebuster).
Among the chants of “THIS IS AWESOME!” while the bodies of the three Vixens laid scattered across the ring, Danielle sat the top of the cage. She could have easily won this match right here, but the energy in the building and her competitive spirit drives her to dive from the top of the cage with the D-Bomb (Corkscrew Moonsault). The Guru’s body impacts on top of Mandisa Carter but Danielle writhes in pain after the impact of the fall. That doesn’t stop the Georgia Peach from pinning Miss Murda to the canvas with a Boo-Tee Print (Butt Drop).
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Zoey Valentine: Mandisa Carter has been eliminated.
Morgan Davis licks the palm of her hand and chopped the chest of Danielle Bradley as she continue to shake off the pain of her daredevil maneuver. The Georgia Peach repeated the gesture to the waking Wonder Girl, who evades between Morgan’s legs and rolls her up into a School Boy pin.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!
Morgan rolls through with a catapult, launching Ashley Wonder into the corner. The Wonder Girl lands on top of the turnbuckle like a nimble cat and took flight with a Shooting Star DDT to the unsuspecting Georgia Peach. After Morgan’s skull bounces off of the canvas, the Guru is there to follow up with a Handspring Splash to the grounded Georgia Peach. Both Danielle Bradley and Ashley Wonder motion to make the pin but the two Vixens get into an argument that quickly becomes physical as the Guru directs a High Kick towards the Wonder Girl’s head. Ashley Wonder ducks underneath Danielle’s kick, hits the ropes, and rebounds back towards Danielle. The Guru stopped the Wonder Girl in her tracks with a kick to the midsection and delivered a Floatover DDT. Ashley spun out of position with a Butterfly Swinging Neckbreaker. Once again, Danielle one-ups Ashley’s offense like Ashley mere seconds prior and shoves her into the ropes to counter as Danielle hit the opposite ropes. Both Vixens rebound from the ropes and are caught in the clutches of Mandisa Carter.
The Carter: I thought she was eliminated!!??
Prof. X: Yeah, but it looks like she’s not a happy camper.
Francine: I think being a sore loser is spreading like wildfire among the members of the Clique. First, Amber, then Jaser and now Mandisa. You would think they were related to the Enforcers or something…
Mandisa Carter prepares to Double Chokeslam the two Vixens out of spite but she's sent flying out of the cage door by a well-placed Boo-Tee Bump (Hip Attack/Rearview) from the Georgia Peach.
Francine: That’s one way to take out the trash...
Morgan then heads for the door only for Little Wonder to slam it shut in her face. The Georgia Peach falls to the canvas as Ashley Wonder motions to escape. Danielle crushes her dreams with the D-Train (Elijah Express) to smash her skull into the corner post before following suit with a Bridging German Suplex.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Zoey Valentine: Ashley Wonder has been eliminated.
While the Guru covered the Wonder Girl, Morgan Davis slowly crawled towards the cage door and got her body halfway out of the door before Danielle Bradley reeled her back into the cage by a yank of her ankle with an Ankle Lock firmly applied. Morgan kicked Danielle with her free leg to free herself before hobbling back to her feet. Danielle quickly recovered and leapfrogs over Morgan’s spine with a Running Bulldog, but the Georgia Peach responded with a Full Nelson Atomic Drop. Morgan Davis positioned herself on the top rope and delivered a Diving Foot Stomp to the grounded Danielle Bradley. The Guru rolled out the way to narrowly miss the impact. Danielle sprung back up to her feet, spun Morgan around upon her landing, and capitalized with a Jumping Neckbreaker to the Georgia Peach.
The Carter: Looks like Danielle Bradley has this match won. The only thing she has to do is add the finishing touch.
Francine: I hope Danielle realizes that it’s an honor to compete among the best female wrestlers in the world here in GZWA.
Prof. X: I’m sure she does realize that. You have to admire her determination to want a make an impact.
The Guru perched on the top rope yet again and took flight with the D-Bomb (Corkscrew Moonsault) to seal the deal. That was the plan until the Georgia Peach shook the ropes, causing the Guru to collapse on top of the turnbuckle. Morgan Davis then positioned herself underneath Danielle and capitalized with Running Powerbomb out of the corner into the center of the ring with a trip to Magic City (Sitout Powerbomb). Morgan Davis pins Danielle’s shoulders to the canvas after the impact.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Zoey Valentine: Danielle Bradley has been eliminated. Your winner and 2015 Queen of the Cage is Morgan Davis!
WINNER: "The Georgia Peach" Morgan Davis.
The Carter: That match could have gone either way. How are the other Vixens going to attempt to top that match?
Francine: I’m anxious to watch them try.
Prof. X: We’ve got a lot more women’s wrestling on tonight’s card, folks. Congratulations once again to the Georgia Peach, but to all of the women competing in this match for putting the Vixen division on notice.
*** Queen of Queens Tournament - Semi-Finals ***
** Singles Match **
"Lady So Divine" Delta Madison vs. Alice Shadow
Prof. X: Up next, we have the second and last semi-final match of the Queen of Queens Tournament. We already saw Natasha Rose advance to the finals after defeating Joanna Tarzanna. Now we’ll see who comes out on top as Alice Shadow takes on Delta Madison.
The Carter: Alice is such a sexual creature, I wouldn’t be surprised if she likes to be on top…
Francine: You’d love to know that wouldn’t you? Step in the ring with her boyfriend Zane and get your answer.
The Carter: Thanks but no thanks. I don’t want anything like he did to Sheik out here earlier tonight.
Before the opening bell, both Vixens shook hands out of good sportsmanship and respect for each other in the traditional Code of Honor.
After the bell, the two Vixens get straight to business with Alice Shadow on the offensive with a series of strikes. Delta ducks Alice’s strikes left and right before spanking Alice on the butt. Embarrassed and instantly pissed off, Alice responds with a Side Kick to the Lady So Divine’s jaw which sends her falling onto the ropes. Alice then stood on the ring apron and served repeated kicks to Delta’s face as her body laid between the ropes. Alice returned the favor on the previous act of humiliation with a Mat Slam followed by shouting “D MODE!!” as Delta laid at her feet.
The Carter: Someone tell Delta that I’m a supporter of “D Mode” if she’s looking for potential candidates.
Francine: Potential candidates? The only D Mode you’re going to get from her is when she tells you “Don’t Bother” when you try to talk to her…
Alice dragged Delta back to her feet and prepared to continue her offense with a Suplex but the Lady So Divine rolled her up with a Small Package.
ONE…
TW—NO!!
Alice broke out of the pin attempt with another Mat Slam, slamming the back of Delta’s head to the canvas.
Prof. X: Keep in mind that the Lady So Divine isn’t 100% from competing in that non-sanctioned match against Endee Leights earlier tonight. I believe that’s why we’re seeing a much more aggressive Alice Shadow tonight. She wants to take advantage of Delta’s loss of stamina.
Francine A wise move from Alice. Imagine the bragging rights from being able to knock off a veteran Vixen such as Delta Madison and winning this tournament.
Alice stood on Delta Madison’s hair while pulling at Delta’s arms,prompting an illegal hold count by the acting referee for this match.
1…
2…
3…
4…
Alice released the hold in time to avoid a disqualification and raised Delta back to her feet. Alice then sent Delta into the corner with an Irish whip. The child of darkness continued her offense with multiple repeated back elbows to the skull of the Lady So Divine until Delta powered through her offense with Atomic Drop transitioned into a Front Falling Facebuster. With Alice Shadow attempting to shake off the cobweb, Delta Madison positioned herself on the top rope and launched herself out of the corner with a Diving Spinning Lariat to the waking Alice.
The Carter: Looks like that's a one way ticket to Wonderland!
Francine Allison Wonderland was one of Jimmy Jacobs' friends and a former member of the GZWA roster - yet another woman who has remotely no interest in you.
After the leveling Alice to canvas successfully, Delta locked in a grounded side headlock. Alice slowly willed herself back to a vertical base while the Lady So Divine maintained her grasp with the hold. Alice frees herself by unleashing the Dark Shadow (Paige Turner) to the Lady So Divine. Alice covered Delta for the win.
ONE...
TWO...
TH--NO!!!
From the angle that the referee is making the count, it seems that Delta Madison is crawling away to escape ringside, but to the fans in attendance it's a rather familiar redheaded troublemaker who is pulling Delta out of the ring by her wrists.
The Carter: It's Amiee Vaughan!
Francine What's that mental case doing here?
Prof. X: Seems like she's up to no good as usual to me.
Delta snaps out of her daze to realize what Amiee is doing and retracts her hands out of Amiee's grasp. To Alice it seems that her prey is trying to get away and stops Delta's exit with a Deadlift Release German Suplex. The Lady So Divine lands on her feet and rebounds from the ropes with a Delirious (Cartwheel Backflip Splash).
ONE...
TWO...
NO!!
Alice powered out of the pin attempt, tossing Delta's body overhead and into the referee. Amiee Vaughan took advantage of this confusion and struck with an If You Seek Amiee (Edge Spear) as Alice Shadow sprung up from the canvas. Alice greeted her with a Big Boot to derail Amiee's mischievous plans, but that distraction was all that the Lady So Divine needed to capitalize with the Deli Choice (TKO). Amiee Vaughan rolled out of the ring as the referee made the count after Delta covered Alice.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!!
WINNER: "Lady So Divine" Delta Madison.
*** Queen of Queens Tournament - Semi-Finals ***
** Singles Match **
Natasha Rose vs. "Jungle Girl" Joanna Tarzanna
Prof. X: Up next, we have our first of two Queen of Queens Tournament Semi-Final matches. These 4 women have fought long and hard to make it this far, but only one can walk away tonight as the Queen of Queens. Sensational Mary herself will be joining us for the final match on commentary.
Francine I'm looking forward for the brainchild of this concept to be joining us later, but I'm anxious to see who comes out as the winner tonight.
The Carter: There's a lot of talk of Natasha Rose being the odds end favorite to win this tournament given her extensive background and reputation as a champion in several promotions. Then again, I wouldn't rule out Joanna here as she's got that rookie wildcard luck going for her.
Francine True, but luck will only get you so far, Carter. You should know that better than anyone.
Prof. X:Lack of respect for one another in this match, Natasha is ready to win by any means necessary.
Joanna gets the upper hand in momentum to start things off after countering Natasha's Fisherman Suplex with a Double Axe Handle over her spine. The Jungle Girl sent Natasha into the ropes with an Irish Whip and slammed her to the canvas with authority with a Powerslam. The Jungle Girl beat on her chest repeatedly before closing in with a Raging Slash (Discus Clothesline). Natasha stopped the Jungle Girl in her tracks with a well-placed Side Kick before dropping her to the canvas with a Russian Leg Sweep.
Natasha attempts to apply the Thorns of a Rose (Inverted Sharpshooter/Double Underhook Chickenwing Combination) but the Jungle Girl forcefully pushes Natasha away with her powerful legs into the corner. Natasha's spine whiplashes against the corner post as Joanna sprung back to her feet and charged into the corner at high speed, impacting into Natasha's body with a Body Splash. Natasha staggers out of the corner and into the pending Samoan Drop from the Jungle Girl. Natasha dropped behind her spine during execution and dropkicked Joanna in the spine, knocking Joanna face-first into the corner post. Natasha capitalized with School Boy roll up.
ONE...
TWO...
T--NO!!
Prof. X: That was definitely a close call for the Jungle Girl.
The Carter: I wonder if she's looking for a Tarzan to be the king of her jungle...
Francine Can it, Carter. She doesn't swing that way - literally and figuratively.
The Carter: What the hell man...
Francine Trust me, Carter. I'm sure it's you that's scaring all of the girls here into banging each other than the opposite sex. You're ruining it for the rest of the boys.
Natasha beckoned Joanna to her feet as she lined up a Spear to the waking Jungle Girl. Natasha charged in for the kill, but she's elevated overhead into the air as Joanna got her second wind in the form of a Military Press Spinebuster to counter the incoming Spear. With Natasha out cold, Joanna makes the cover.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!
The Carter: Wow, looks like the odds end favorite just got knocked out of this tournament.
Prof. X: Hold it there, partner. I think something's going on.
Francine This isn't over. Look at where Natasha's body is positioned.
Joanna is shown standing in the ring, celebrating until the referee points to Natasha Rose's foot clearly underneath the ropes.
Prof. X: That's definitely a rookie mistake there to overlook that, but a veteran move by Rose to have that level of ring awareness.
Francine It's not over until the fat lady sings...
Zoey Valentine: As decreed by our acting ring official, Natasha Rose's foot was underneath the rope at the time of the three count, so this match WILL continue until there is a clear winner.
The Jungle Girl looks enraged as Natasha began to stir. Joanna then positioned herself on the top rope and motioned for a Diving Headbutt. Natasha staggered to her feet and shook the nearby ropes, causing the Jungle Girl to collapse on top of the turnbuckle. Natasha took control of the momentum by hopping up off of the 2nd rope and crashing Joanna back to the canvas with a Sitout Facebuster. Natasha drapes her body over Joanna's as she confidently counted along with Referee Jacqueline Moore's pin count.
ONE...
TWO...
THR--NO!!!
Natasha looks on in disbelief before dragging Joanna back to her feet by the hair and flinging her into the ropes with an Irish whip. Joanna hits the ropes and redirects her momentum stylishly with a Tree Swing (619) before rebounding back towards with another Raging Slash (Discus Clothesline). Natasha greets her with a point-blank Reality Check (Running Bicycle Kick/Botox Injection), stopping Joanna dead in her tracks. Once again, Natasha makes the cover.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!
WINNER: Natasha Rose.
Prof. X: Natasha Rose has advanced to the finals of the Queen of Queens Tournament. One down, one to go.
Francine: That was a convincing win, if I say so myself.
The Carter: If that was only the first of our two semi-final matches, then I can't wait to see the rest of this tournament!
*** Tag Team Turmoil Match for GZWA Tag Team Championships
The MisFits ("Tattooed Beauty" Laura Jackson & "Queen of Submission" Casey Cortez)
vs.
Extreme Juggalos ("Straight-Edge Juggalo" Ryan Kendrick & "High-Flying Extremist" The Enigma; w/ Ronda Rousey)
vs.
The Enforcers (Dequan Wallace & G-Money Briggs; w/ Veda Scott)
vs.
Mega Busters (Matthew Miles & Psycho Sagus; w/ Ashleigh Cash)
Prof. X: After Primetime, the Mega Busters won the right to choose the stipulation for this match, but they surprised the competition when they didn't want a stipulation at all as they collectively felt that it would benefit them more if this was a run of the mill 'standard' tag team turmoil match.
Francine: For those who don't know, a tag team turmoil match is an elimination style tag team match. Two teams start off with another team replacing the other after a pinfall or submission until there's one team left standing. The MisFits pretty much have to run the gauntlet tonight if they hope to retain the gold.
The Carter: That's going to be a tough task to pull with all of these great teams in this match.
The MisFits start the match off against the Enforcers.
Prof. X: Damn, the heavy hitters are starting off right off the bat.
Casey Cortez and G-Money Briggs start off for their respective teams. Casey stares down with G-Money, no showing an ounce of fear. The two powerhouses lock-up with the two reaching a stalemate. The Tattooed Beauty tilted the scales into the MisFits' favor with a Missile Dropkick that sent G-Money reeling into the ropes. G-Money returned with a Shoulder Block that sent both Casey and Laura to the canvas. G-Money then tagged out to Dequan Wallace who got into position for the Lose/Lose Situation (Cade & Murdoch's Sweet & Sour combination) to the waking MisFits. To their dismay, the Queen of Submission and Tattooed Beauty both leapfrog over Dequan's incoming Bullet (The Gore), causing Dequan Wallace to take out his own partner. While Dequan curses himself for his mistake, the MisFits capitalized with a quick rollup.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!!
Zoey Valentine: The Enforcers have been eliminated!!
Veda Scott is livid at ringside as the Enforcers are already eliminated from this contest, shouting, "WE WEREN'T READY YET!!"
Prof. X: I think the Enforcers are more shocked than we are, folks.
Francine: That's all she wrote there.
The Carter: Bummer, I wanted more Veda time in this match.
The Extreme Juggalos are the second team to enter this match and don't waste any time storming the ring. The Enigma and Ryan Kendrick sent the MisFits into the corner with an Irish whip. Kendrick sandwiched Casey and Laura into the corner with a Faygo Splash (Stinger Splash) before dropping down on all-fours. The Enigma stepped off his back to deliver a Poetry in Motion. Casey caught the High-Flying Extremist in her arms and dropped him on top of Kendrick's spine with a Falling Fireman's Carry Slam. The Tattooed Beauty delivered a Russian Leg Sweep to the waking Ryan Kendrick while Casey flung the Enigma into the ropes with another Irish Whip. The MisFits greeted the High-Flying Extremist on the rebound with a Double Hip Toss.
The Queen of Submission took control from here, raising the Enigma off the canvas and back to this feet for a Suplex. The Enigma hooks her foot to stop the maneuver and shoves her into the ropes. Ronda Rousey struck Casey with strong right hook to Casey's jaw while the referee wasn't looking and hopped down from the ring apron as the Enigma went for the pin.
ONE...
TWO...
NO!!
The Enigma wasn't discouraged as he sprinted towards the ropes and delivered a Springboard Splash to pin Casey again.
ONE...
TWO...
T---NO!!
Laura Jackson broke the pin attempt. Ryan Kendrick tossed the Tattooed Beauty out of the ring. The Extreme Juggalos went back to their gameplan of overpowering the Queen of Submission. They sent her back into the corner with a Double Dropkick as she stood back up. The Extreme Juggalos' tandem offense continued with another Poetry in Motion, which was followed by a Lariat in the corner by Ryan Kendrick. The Straight-Edge Juggalo drove Casey's skull to the mat with an Evenflow DDT and the High-Flying Extremist wasted no time following suit with the No Limit (630 Degree Corkscrew Swanton Bomb) to the Queen of Submission.
ONE...
TWO...
TH---NO!!
Laura Jackson barely returned in the nick of time to break the pin. Both of Extreme Juggalos chased the Tattooed Beauty out of the ring, only to receive a double helping of a Hot Shot (Rope-assisted Neckbreaker/Jawbreaker). This left the Extreme Juggalos ripe for the picking as Casey Cortez capitalized on the situation with a Double Reverse DDT on both Ryan Kendrick and the Enigma. Casey then made a hot tag to Laura Jackson while the Enigma tagged out to Ryan Kendrick, opting to pursue the Queen of Submission at ringside as she tried to recuperate.
The Enigma ran across the barricade and flew towards the Queen of Submission with a Running Flying Clothesline, only to be swatted out of the air by Casey's own Clothesline from Hell. After ducking the Tattooed Beauty's incoming Clothesline in the ring, Kendrick opts for a Slingshot Splash out of the ring to assist the Enigma. Unfortunately for the Straight-Edge Juggalo, Casey manages to catch him onto her shoulders and slams him spine-first into the ring apron with an Oklahoma Slam. Casey rolled Kendrick back into the ring and dropped the Straight-Edge Juggalo over her knee with a Backbreaker and held him in position. The Tattooed Beauty followed up with a Diving Leg Drop to complete this Death Sentence-style tag team maneuver.
As Laura went for the pin, Ronda tried to distract the MisFits. Casey confronted her only for Ronda to try to get physical yet again, but this time, Casey caught her fist and served Ronda a hook of her own that laid her out right next to the Enigma at ringside.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!!
Zoey Valentine: The Extreme Juggalos have been eliminated.
Veda Scott is shown coming back down the entrance ramp, mocking the Extreme Juggalos holding up a "L" gesture to her forehead as the Enforcers storm the ring.
Prof. X: What are they doing back out here? They already had their chance at the titles.
Francine: I guess they are injecting themselves back into the tag team contest.
The Carter: Uh oh, I'm hearing we've got a situation backstage.
The cameras switch to a splitscreen of the action in the ring and backstage, showing the Mega Busters laid out in their dressing rooms as the Enforcers are taking their places in this match.
The Carter: Is that even legal?
Francine: How about you go in there and tell them that?
G-Money Briggs immediately go straight to business and Irish whips Laura Jackson into the ropes with a Military Press. Casey struck from behind with a Knee Clip that causes G-Money to drop Laura on top of him in an impromptu Cross Body for a pin.
ONE...
TWO...
NO!!!
Dequan notices Casey's meddling and opts to intervene with the Bullet (The Pounce) but Casey pulls the ropes down for him to fly out of the ring and into the waking Extreme Juggalos. G-Money blindly charges in with a Shoulder Charge towards the waking Tattooed Beauty, but impacts into the corner after she moved out of the line of fire. The Tattooed Beauty then positioned herself on the top rope and started the 10 Punch. Laura didn't reach the count of 4 before G-Money countered with a Kneeling Powerbomb Pin from out of the corner.
ONE...
TWO...
WAIT!!
Laura Jackson rolled through out of the pin and into an application of a Modified Boston Crab/Liontamer. Dequan Wallace returns in the nick of time to make the save with a successful Bullet to break the hold. Dequan motions for the Reload (The Pounce) but the Queen of Submission makes the save with a Spinebuster that would make Ron Simmons proud. G-Money tossed Casey out of the ring and hit the ropes. He rebounds with a Jumping Double Axe Handle to waking Laura Jackson. The Tattooed Beauty greeted him with the Splitting Headcase (Jumping Double Knees to the head) to stun the Enforcer before following up with a Super Kick. Somehow, G-Money was still staggering on jelly legs. The Tattooed Beauty lept into his arms and applied the Nightie-Night (Headlock/Body Scissors Combination) submission hold. G-Money drops to his knees in the hold.
Prof. X: If the MisFits make G-Money submit here then they will be the first wrestlers in GZWA who have managed to make either one of the Enforcers submit!
Francine: I don't think it's going to be that easy.
G-Money slowly fought tooth and nail against the Tattooed Beauty's lethal submission hold and charged into the corner with a Big Body Splash to remove this annoyance. Laura Jackson slumps in the corner as Casey Cortez makes blind tag while G-Money Briggs shook off the cobwebs. The Queen of Submission returns to action with a Kane Diving Clothesline to G-Money. G-Money catches her in his arms and drops onto the turnbuckle with a Snake Eyes. With Casey reeling from the blow, G-Money tags out to Dequan. The duo hits Lose/Lose Situation (Sweet & Sour) -successfully this time - and go for the win.
ONE...
TWO...
THRE--NO!!!
The Tattooed Beauty sent G-Money tumbling out of the ring with a Missile Dropkick while Casey moved out of the way of an incoming Shoulder Thrust from Dequan Wallace in the corner. After Dequan's skull bounced off the unforgiving steel corner post, Casey moved him into position as Laura assisted her in executing a Spike Piledriver to the lone Enforcer.
G-Money Briggs opts to stop the pin as he hopped back onto the ring apron, but the Extreme Juggalos sweep G-Money’s feet off the ring apron, causing him to faceplant on the ring apron and prevent him from breaking the pin.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!!
WINNERS: The MisFits ("Tattooed Beauty" Laura Jackson & "Queen of Submission" Casey Cortez; retain).
Prof. X: As much as I hate seeing that the Mega Busters weren't given a fair opportunity to compete in this match tonight, we did get some great tag team action in this match as the MisFits defied the odds and retained the tag team titles.
Francine: The Extreme Juggalos must have a death wish to keep standing in the Enforcers' way.
*** Queen of Queens Tournament - Finals ***
Delta Madison vs. Natasha Rose
Hosted by Sensational Mary
Before the match started, Scary Mary stood in the ring with Delta Madison and Natasha Rose with a microphone in hand.
"Welcome and congratulations for making it to the finals of my Queen of Queens Tournament. You two are truly among the best that the Vixen division has to offer, but not only that, two of the greatest female wrestlers in this sport today. After all of your blood, sweat, and tears, this is the final obstacle that stands in your way before we name GZWA's first ever Queen of Queens."
Mary hugs Natasha, "I didn't doubt for an instant that you would be standing in this ring with me in the finals, bestie. One more win and we can paint the town red with our victory celebration."
Mary strode towards Delta Madison and patted her on the head, "We have a natural Wonder Woman in the house tonight, folks. This is Delta's 3rd match tonight. Aren't you tired? Why not just keel over right now and give a much more deserving individual the win here tonight?"
Natasha shook her head and urged Mary to lay off that merely only garnered a roll of the eyes by Mary before stepping out of the ring.
Mary adds, "One more thing, ladies. May the best woman win."
Despite Mary's attempt at foul play, both Natasha and Delta shake hands at the start of the match out of respect of one another. Natasha Rose urges the crowd to settle down their cheers before the two Vixens start the match with a traditional lock up in the center of the ring. Natasha easily transitions into a side headlock to Delta. Delta elbows Tasha in the gut to loosen her grip before shoving Tasha into the ropes to free herself. Tasha returns with a Clotheslines on the rebound. Natasha Rose then towers over the Lady So Divine's body and poses to mock her.
Francine: I guess that whole act about respecting each other was only a ploy to gain Delta's trust.
Delta applies a with headlock of her own after spinning Tasha around to face her. Much like the Lady So Divine before her, Tasha elbows Delta in the gut repeatedly to counter and sent her into the ropes with an Irish whip. Unfortunately, Tasha was the sent to the canvas as the Lady So Divine returned on the rebound with a Mat Slam. Fueled by adrenaline, the Lady So Divine is fired up on her offense as she struck fast and furious with a series of short clotheslines (a la AJ Lee) to waking Natasha Rose. Soon, Tasha has had enough as she elevates Delta into the air and drops her over her knees in a Gutbuster counter to stop her burst of momentum flat. Tasha follows up with Backbreaker but Delta reverses with Swinging Neckbreaker. Tasha reverses Delta's reversal with a Falling Fireman’s Carry.
Once again, Tasha took the opportunity to mock the Lady So Divine as Mary beamed with pride at ringside. This only acted as a catalyst to reignite her passion to win the crown. Delta sprung back into action with repeated Elbow Smashes to Tasha's face before Delta sent Tasha into the ropes with another Irish whip. Natasha Rose kills Delta's momentum again with a page out of Mary's own playbook, using a Jumping Complete Shot (Beauty Mask, Mary’s finisher) into a seated Stiletto (Surfboard; another Mary signature) hold.
The Carter: Seems like someone has been studying Scary Mary's playbook.
Francine: It's only natural. Natasha and Mary are friends after all. Using each other's moves in a high-profile match like this is a show of respect.
Prof. X: You have to wonder how many 2nd winds does the Lady So Divine has left. The tank has to be running empty at some point, especially with Natasha Rose systematically wearing her down like this.
The Lady So Divine breaks free from the hold with an Inverted Jawbreaker. Delta Madison then rolled up the stunned Natasha Rose with a Small Package.
ONE...
TWO...
T--NO!!
Natasha Rose kicked out of the pin with authority and immediately her mood turned sour. The near-fall was too close for comfort after facing a similar situation earlier tonight. The irate Natasha Rose lashes out with wake-up Lariat to the Lady So Divine before flinging her into the ropes with an Irish whip. Tasha hits the opposite ropes and both Vixens exchange pleasantries in the center of the ring in the form of two simultaneous Sleeperslams.
Both Vixens are laid out cold on the canvas as the referee began a double KO count.

Both Vixens somehow find a way to return to their feet, with the Lady So Divine collapsing onto the nearby ropes for support. Natasha looked to take advantage of Delta's obvious physical exhaustion, but she's met with a knee lift by the Lady so Divine. Delta reeled her in by the hair and delivered several knees to Tasha's face before dropping her to the canvas with the Deli Choice (TKO). Once again, Delta went for the cover.
ONE...
TWO...
TH--NO!!
The ever-defiant Natasha Rose kicks out and refuses to lose here. The battle weary Delta dragged Tasha to her feet and delivered a Snap Suplex and follows up with a DeltaSault (Moonsault from 2nd rope). Mary shook the ropes, causing the Lady So Divine to collapse on the turnbuckle and allowing Tasha to take control with a top rope Fallaway Slam.
Prof. X: That has to be it there. Delta looks spent here.
Francine: Delta Airlines are running on empty.
She blew a kiss of thanks to her bestie standing on the ring apron as she lined up the Reality Check (Botox Injection/Bicycle Kick) to the slowly waking Lady So Divine. Tasha went for the kill but Delta collapsed back to the mat out of sheer exhaustion. This causes Tasha to miss her mark and inadvertantly knocks Mary off of ring apron. Natasha Rose is emotionally caught up trying to apologize for her accident to bestie that allows Delta Madison to roll her up with a Sunset Flip pin.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!!
Zoey Valentine: Your winner of the first ever GZWA Queen of Queens Tournament is Delta Madison!!
Scary Mary and Natasha Rose are left arguing at ringside as Amiee Vaughan and Endee Leights help Delta to her feet and celebrate the win with the Lady So Divine.
Prof. X: The Lady So Divine ran the gauntlet tonight and came out the Queen of Queens. I guess Mary's too caught up in her argument with her best friend to congratulate Delta personally.
Francine: I doubt they are going to be "besties" after tonight.
The Carter: Is there any way that I can join the ladies for the festivities?
Francine: No, you have a job to finish. If I have to endure the rest of the show next to you then you sure as hell are going to sit here and continue suffering with me.
The Carter: Suffering? I'm never suffering next to you!
Francine: Try to touch me again and I'll gladly introduce you to that concept.
*** GZWA Vixen's Championship Match ***
"The Ultimate Vixen" Raven (c) vs. "Showstoppin' Senorita" Mariah
Prof. X: This is the moment that many Vixen fans have been waiting for. Raven and Mariah have known each other for well over the past decade and have found a way to be at odds end one way or another. Things reached their boiling point where things got personal between these two women as the championship gold is on the line, along with these Vixens' contrasting beliefs.
Francine: It's hard to pick a favorite here. Mariah is the "mother" of the Vixen division - being one of the three women who started this division here in GZWA. She's been here since Day 1 and has always strived for the best. Raven, on the other hand, has resorted to "by any means necessary" tactics to keep the title after dethroning GZWA's longest-reigning champion in history, Mei Long, and doing everything in her power to keep the Vixen Championship. With the Clique surrounding her and Raven's willingness to do anything to win, you can't count the champion out here.
The Carter: True, but Mariah is the leader of the Queen Bee Mafia for a reason. One would be foolish to doubt her determination to win.
Prof. X: Great points there, partners. Either way you slice it, this is going to be one great finale to the amazing line-up of women's wrestling on tonight's card.
Mariah is the first Vixen to arrive to the ring as she hits the ropes briefly to warm-up in anticipation of this match. Raven taking her time to walk to the ring, parading around to the crowd instead of entering the ring. Mariah doesn't wait for Raven's antics to end and promptly interrupts her selfies with fans with a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music) to start this match off. Raven is left out cold on the ringside floor.
Prof. X: Looks like we might be in store for a quickie here, folks.
Mariah grabs Raven by the hair and rolls her into the ring. Mariah rips out one of Raven's hair extensions in the process and discards it to the floor with disgust. She covers Raven.
ONE...
TWO...
THRE---NO!!!
The Carter: I can't BEWEAVE it.
Francine: Like Serena said, Raven's weave is brought to you by the finest horse on this side of the Atlantic.
Prof. X: I think even Raven's heart skipped a beat there. A mere millisecond away and we would've had a new Vixen Champion...
Mariah didn't lose focus as she stalked Raven for another pending Heartbreaker as the Ultimate Vixen slowly rose from the canvas. As the Showstoppin' Senorita closed in, Raven wisely rolled out of ring to avoid the kick. Mariah pursued her prey as Raven picked up the Vixen Championship from the floor and headed up the entrance ramp. The crowd boos loudly as Raven waved good-bye to Mariah as the referee began the ring out count.
Serena Dent stood at the top of the entrance ramp, blocking Raven's advance.
Serena Dent: "Apparently, you didn't read the fine print in the contract that you both signed on Primetime. Tonight's Vixen Championship Match MUST be decided by either pinfall or submission. The title WILL change hands via result of a count-out."
Raven's eyes widen like a deer in headlights before she shouts, "YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!!"
Serena smirks, "I suggest you don't waste your time arguing with me as you don't have much time left if you wish to continue being the champion. One more thing, Raven... That weave... Those are not split ends, those are divorced ends."
Mariah stood beckoning Raven back to the ring as the referee was up to the count of 7. Raven panics and immediately sprints back down the ramp. She slid back into the ring, narrowly avoiding the 10 count, but not the 2nd Heartbreaker from the Showstoppin' Senorita. Raven falls out of the ring again to avoid the pin attempt.
Mariah reached over the top rope to drag Raven back into the ring, but the Ultimate Vixen hopped off the ring apron with a rope-assisted Neckbreaker to stun the Showstoppin' Senorita long enough to turn things around with a Loose Rap (Sitout Gourdbuster). With the momentum turning into her favor, Raven struck with a Sitout Diving Clothesline to the waking Showstoppin' Senorita. Raven stomps Mariah's knees repeatedly before applying the Discipline (Kneeling Inverted Sharpshooter).
Prof. X: Raven's definitely turned this match around into her favor.
Francine: I guess that shot in the ass from our sassy commissioner was exactly what the doctor ordered.
The Carter: ......
Francine: Don't you dare say it, Carter.
Prof. X: Mariah's definitely in a compromising position here.
Mariah tries to roll her hips to kick Raven away to break the hold but the Ultimate Vixen maintains her grip. The Showstoppin' Senorita then pushed herself off the canvas and into Raven's arms. Mariah headbutts Raven on the bridge of her nose before breaking free with a Sweetest Day (Scotty 2 Hotty Facebuster).
Now that she's back in the driver's seat in terms of momentum in this match, Mariah hit the ropes and rebound with a John Woo (Running Front Dropkick into the corner). Raven's spine whiplashes against the corner post and leaves her slumped in the corner. Mariah follows up with a Handspring Roundhouse Kick (Low-Ki's Tidal Crash) into the corner, but Raven isn't out of this game yet as she responds with an Exploder Suplex. With the Showstoppin' Senorita hung in a tree of woe position after being flung into the turnbuckle, the Ultimate Vixen shows no mercy as she delivered the Upgrade (Turnbuckle Dropkick/Hardyac Arrest) to Mariah's face. Raven doesn't stop there - she yanked Mariah out of the tree of woe with the Revolver (Cobra Clutch Backbreaker) that garners an audible gasp of pain from the Showstoppin' Senorita.
Prof. X: Raven is fully aware of Mariah's surgically repaired spine and systematically targetting that area to put her out of commission.
Francine: More like trying to cripple her for good from the way how I see it.
Raven goes for a cover.
ONE...
TWO...
TH--NO!!
Raven shook her head and struck with a Running Knee Strike to the face to the waking Showstoppin' Senorita. Mariah sprung up with a Blue Thunder Bomb to counter with Raven's shoulders to the canvas.
ONE...
TWO...
WAIT!!
Raven reverses their positions while holding onto the nearby ropes.
ONE...
TWO...
THRE--WAIT!!
The referee stops the count as she notices Raven's hands on the ropes trying to leverage the pin. Raven argues the count with the referee as Mariah kips back to her feet. The unsuspecting Raven turned around into the pending Heartbreaker by the Showstoppin' Senorita. Raven manages to avoid the blow with a last second Raetrix (MaTrish) evasion. Raven hurled Mariah back into the corner with an Irish whip before following up with a Dropsault into the corner. After impact, Raven lands on her feet like a nimble cat before elevating Mariah on top of the turnbuckle. Raven serves the Showstoppin' Senorita an Overdose (Stratusphere), but Mariah lands on her feet just like Raven mere moments ago. Mariah spun around with a Heartbreaker once again. This time, her kick hits it's mark with Raven falling through the ropes after the impact.
The Carter: It looks like Mariah's in the mood for a Super Kick Party tonight.
Francine: We're up to the 3 out of 4 Heartbreakers hitting their target tonight. If this keeps up, I doubt Raven's going to be able to take many more of those.
Prof. X: To the champion's credit, Raven is wise to keep escaping the ring afterwards. This gives her time to recover while Mariah has to waste time bringing her back into the ring.
Mariah watched her prey from the ring apron as Raven crawled on all-fours at ringside. Mariah sprinted across the ring apron before diving off with an Apron Dive Cannonball Senton. Raven moved out of the way, causing Mariah to impact into the steel steps.
Prof. X cringes, "That definitely had to hurt..."
Raven pulls herself back up with the ring apron and grins from ear to ear at Mariah's predicament. Her devilish intentions are revealed as she places Mariah on the chopping board - literally with a Hair-pull Curb Stomp on the steel steps. Raven left Mariah's limp body at ringside while she rolled back into the ring.
The Carter: I don't want to see Mariah lose like this but I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to call the EMTs after taking a blow like that to the head.
Francine: For once, I think Carter's right. She's not getting up after a hit like that.
The ring out count began as Raven took a formal bow among the deafening boos of the live audience.

Mariah manages to crawl into the ring just before the count of 10.
Prof. X: Mariah's made it back to the ring, but is she in any condition to continue this match? That's the real question here.
The Ultimate Vixen surprises the masses with a sarcastic applause for Mariah's efforts thus far. Raven kindly helps Mariah back to her feet and dusts her off. As usual, this is only a ploy as Raven drops Mariah right back to the canvas with a Half Nelson Facebuster. Raven then took to the corner and started mocking Mariah's stomping mannerisms for the Heartbreaker. Mariah began to stir and slowly returned to her feet as Raven loomed closer to deliver the finish.
Mariah staggered to her feet and turned to face Raven...
BOTH Vixens dropped to the canvas after simultaneously hitting each other with the Bitch Kick (Chick Kick) and Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music) at the same time.

Amber Torres distracts the referee from continuing the count further until Morgan Davis pulls her off ring apron by the hair. Mandisa Carter makes the save with a Running Yakuza Kick and opts for a Divamolisher (Omega Driver) to the Georgia Peach at ringside. To the surprise of the GZWA Nation, Tia Brooks comes to the aid of her fellow Queen Bees with a Blindside Kick (French TKO) to stun Miss Murda temporarily. That was long enough for Morgan to follow through with a #SitYourAssDown (Leg Drop Bulldog).

Both women manage to garner some type of vertical base as they returned to their feet on shaky legs before the double KO count of 10.
Amber Torres latches on Tia Brooks' back with a Sleeper Hold but the Straight-Edge Vixen hoists her onto her shoulders for the T.I.A. (Inverted Go To Sleep) on Amber. The feisty Latina dropped behind Tia and shoved Tia face-first into ring post to counter. Amber then opts to intervene with this match by standing on the ring apron in hopes to distract the referee once again. Once again, Morgan Davis hops on ring apron to stop Amber only to receive Bitch Kick (Chick Kick) from the Ultimate Vixen. The Georgia Peach delivers rolling variation of Magic City (Sitout Powerbomb) as she’s falling off the ring apron to Amber to take her out of the equation.
All of the members of the Clique and Queen Bee Mafia are down and out at ringside surrounding the ring, leaving Mariah and Raven to settle the score between themselves. Both Vixens brawl it out with both women using closed fists on the other but neither Vixen refuses to give up the ghost. Raven lunged in with another punch, bringing the Showstoppin' Senorita down to her knees from the blow. Raven grabbed her head in a side headlock and motioned for the High Price (Edgecution), but Mariah spun out of the maneuver and countered with a Vision of Love (Testdrive). Mariah then climbed up to the top rope and motioned for Diving 450 Splash, only for Raven to rake her in the eyes out of desperation. Raven joined Mariah on the top rope, reeling in her blinded foe for a top rope variation of the High Price. Both Vixens crash down from the top rope, with Raven taking the full extent of the punishment as Mariah countered with the Queendom (Ki Crusher) during their descent down to the ring. With the Ultimate Vixen on the canvas, Mariah applied the Dragon Clutch and held onto dear life.
Raven squirmed around wildly but didn't have anywhere to go. Mariah had her trapped in the center of the ring. Her allies were still down and out scattered at ringside. Raven had to face facts, she was out of options. The pain was too much and reluctantly succumbed to the pain as she tapped out to Showstoppin' Senorita.
Zoey Valentine: Your winner and NEW GZWA Vixen Champion, Mariah!
Prof. X: I thought we wouldn't see this day come to a reality. Mariah faced roadblock after roadblock in her fabled career, but tonight at Devils May Cry, she has finally reached the promised land and became a champion.
Francine: Take notes, ladies and gentlemen. Hard work pays off.
The Carter: A brilliant performance from all of our Vixens tonight, but is this truly the end of the bitter rivalry between the Clique and Queen Bee Mafia?
Mariah sat on her knees after the match, suspended in disbelief. She buried her face in the coveted title as the audience went silent as Amber Torres joined her in the ring. Amber helps her sister to her feet and raises Mariah’s arm. Mariah narrowed her eyes at Amber before laying her out with a Heartbreaker to the delight of the crowd to leave her out cold next to Raven on the canvas.
The Carter: To be fair, Mariah did say that she was going to give Amber some tough love.
Francine: Hmph... After all that her and Raven put Mariah through, I say she got off easy.
*** GZWA Television Championship Match ***
"The Next Level" Mike Bradley (c) vs. "The Architect" Chris Matthews
Prof. X: This highly anticipated match has the GZWA Television title up for grabs as Mike Bradley defends his title against the former Navy Seal, Chris Matthews.
Francine: I think Mike Bradley and the rest of the GZWA Nation are still in shock that this contest doesn't involve Jaser Cruz.
The Carter: I think we were all shocked to see Chris Matthews upset Jaser Cruz - literally and figuratively - in that #1 contender match on Primetime.
Francine: I think that's a warning to the entire GZWA locker room that anyone can take your spot if you're caught slipping.
Prof. X: Both of these Superstars have noble motivations in this match. Mike Bradley wants to continue to prove his critics wrong while Chris Matthews wants to defend Amanda Cortez's honor while simultaneously dedicating this match to his fallen comrade, Ryan Reigns.
Before the bell could ring signaling the beginning of the match "Walk" by Avenged Sevenfold blasted through the PA system. The crowd booed rapidly as Serena Dent, the GZWA Commisioner, walked from behind the titantron and looked at all of the people in attendance. Grinning, she lifted the microphone up closer and spoke out, while lifting her arm up in the air motioning to "Stop".
Hold it, hold it, hold it... Before starting this ever so exciting championship match, I have to address a very important matter regarding our very own jewel in the company's crown, Mike Bradley. Yes, you starshine.
The crowd cheered hearing the champion's name mentioned as Serena looked straight out into the ring.
Believe it or not, I do take my work very seriously. Even more serious is my love and dedication to Ground Zero Wrestling Association, which is my 2nd family and my 2nd home. Combine that with my perfectionist personality and love for emotional torment. You know what you get? This statement: Mike, puddin', fire your writers, because all of the accomplishments you keep adding to your resume are pure and utter bollocks.
With a mixture of cheers and boos filling the air, Serena started pacing around the stage.
Believe it or not, I actually do watch the promos you put out and now more than once I keep hearing how you are the longest reigning champion and you ended the career of our ticklish Muppet, Amanda Cortez. Roll the clip.
Lovely achievements, yet some of them as real as Raven's luscious head of hair that came from the finest horse this side of the Atlantic has to offer. I did hope that I might find a fault in your mathematical skills and that Genesis still maintained the title of the longest reigning champion. Yet, sadly, you are correct... I feel so filthy after saying that. It is true, Mike Bradley is currently the longest reigning Television Champion. Hopefully, not for long and if I would believe in God I would probably pray for Chris to pin your ass down on that mat. The only reason you still have that belt around your waist and scream that you're a champ from the top of a barrel is because Jaser Cruz is better at taking selfies than he is at fighting.
The Commissioner grins at a frustrated Mike and notices a faint smile from "The Architect" Chris Matthews.
But, there is something I have to make clear... The second achievement you like to boast about as the highlight of your career is the untimely retirement of Amanda Cortez. More than on one occasion did we hear you taking all of the credit for this miracle. I can please have that spectacular buzzer sound like from a game show? No? Not now? Never mind then. Nonetheless, what you claim is false. We can agree that you did injure Amanda at your championship match at Dead or Alive. That is a fact and nobody is saying otherwise. But, Amanda's career in professional wrestling came to an end after a vicious attack on her injured leg during a taping of Primetime, where our Goddess of War was attacked by her closest allies, her sister Casey and her ex-lover Laura Jackson, known better now as the always slacking Tag Team champs, before a scheduled match against Ashley Wonder. Right after the doctors didn't give her medical clearance to perform and her contract with the company came to an end.
Audience reactions slightly changed as now Mike was starting to get booed off and Serena received cheers from the fans in attendance.
So you see now, sunshine, lying works only if you are surrounded by morons. Too bad that Xion hires people with an IQ in the triple digits. Oh well, you tried and failed. The moral is - never try. Lets just hope that tonight is my lucky night and our American Sniper will hit his target right between the eyes. Ref, you may ring the bell... THE MATCH STARTS NOW!
With Serena leaving the stage, the ref calls for the bell as the match officially starts.
Both Superstars stare down before locking up. Mike applies of a Front Facelock before transitioning into Leg Drop Bulldog (Brookline Bridge). The Next Level shows off a little with a Spinning Handstand Leg Drop, but the Architect moves out of the way and applies a Single Leg Boston Crab to counter. Mike Bradley makes a break to reach for the ropes but Chris Matthews denies access to that means of escape of this hold as he dragged Mike back to the center of the ring. Mike wasn't out of tricks as he rolled his hips and freed himself with an Enzuigiri with his free leg. Mike returned to his feet and flung Chris Matthews to the mat with the first half of the End of Days with a Deep Arm Drag and charged in to follow up with a Shining Wizard. The Architect caught the Next Level onto his shoulders and threw him into the corner with a Turnbuckle Powerbomb. After Mike's spine hit the corner and he fell face-first onto the canvas, Chris quickly closed the gap between them as he sought out to win this match early with the Piece of Mind (Jumping Curb Stomp). Mike quickly sprung back to his feet and met Chris with the Final Boss (Moonsault Side Slam), taking complete control of the Architect's momentum. The Next Level goes for the pin.
ONE...
TWO...
TH--NO!!!
Francine: Close but no cigar.
Mike wasn't detered from his goal to win and lined up the Brookline Bridge (Spear) to the waking Architect. Chris Matthews leapfrogs over it and dropkicks Mike into the corner from behind. After Mike's head bounces off the turnbuckle padding, Matthews continues to control this turnabout in momentum with the first in a series of multiple Rolling Vertical Suplexes on the rebound. Chris Matthews executes the Rolling Vertical Suplex again and again before Mike Bradley halted his offense with a Jumping DDT to stop this series flat and drill Chris to the canvas. The Next Level then climbed the top rope before taking flight with the Hang 20 (Corkscrew Moonsault). Unfortunately, Mike misses his mark as Chris Matthews rolled out onto ring apron to avoid the impact.
The Architect returns back into the ring with a Springboard Clothesline. Mike is there to greet with a Spinebuster and transitions into a Sharpshooter upon impact.
Prof. X: That's the same resourcefulness of the Next Level that saw him regain the title from Amanda Cortez in their submission match at Dead or Alive.
Francine: One would be wise to respect the technical prowess of Mike Bradley, but I'd be lying if I said I was a fan of the guy.
The Carter: But you don't like anyone, Franny!
Francine: Oh you got jokes, now, Carter? It must be pretty cold down there in hell.
Much like how the Architect did to the Next Level earlier in this match, Mike dragged the fleeing Chris Matthews away from the ropes to avoid any possible ropebreak. The former Navy Seal takes a trick out of Mike's playbook and rolls his hips and Chris kicks Mike out onto ring apron to free himself from the hold. Mike catches himself mid-fall and lands on the ring apron. Chris Matthews shook off the cobwebs and pursued his prey. Mike tried to slow Matthews down with a Shoulder thrust, but Matthews struck him in the face with a well-placed knee lift before joining the Next Level on the ring apron. The Architect executed the reeling Mike Bradley with a Brainbuster DDT on the ring apron. Chris Matthews confidently dusts his hands off before rolling the Next Level back into the ring.
Francine: Stick a fork in him, Bradley's done.
Prof. X: Don't count the Next Level out yet. We've seen him manage to endure more punishment than this.
The Architect struck with the Avada Kedavra (Super Kick to kneeling/seated opponent) as Mike tried to sit up from the canvas, showing signs of life. The Next Level caught Matthews' foot in motion and dropped the Architect to the mat with a Dragon Screw right into the Boston Strangler (Rear Naked Choke) right in the middle of the ring.
The Carter: Chris Matthews has nowhere to go! What is he going to do?
Prof. X: He has to submit if he wants to avoid any possible injury.
Francine: That's the same harsh reality that Raven had to face tonight.
The referee checks Matthews for any signs of life as the young Superstar refuses to give up in the hold but he has stopped moving. The referee raised Chris' arm to no response and repeated the measure again for the same result. Once again, the referee raised Matthews' arm, knowing that if Matthews didn't respond here, Mike would retain after decreeing that Matthews was unable to continue after losing consciousness in the hold. However this was not the case here as the former Navy Seal held his arm up in protest to resist against the hold.
He tucked and rolled back to his feet with Mike still latched onto his spine and valiantly climbed the turnbuckle. The Next Level tried to lean the Architect back to the mat by leveraging his weight but that tactic only caused Mike to lose his grip and fall back to the canvas. Looking over his shoulder at the waking Next Level, Matthews sprung from the top rope with an Inverted Frankensteiner to plant Mike's skull into the mat again before hitting the ropes and rebounding with the Piece of Mind (Jumping Curb Stomp). Chris Matthews went for the cover.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!!
Zoey Valentine: Your winner and NEW GZWA Television Champion, Chris Matthews!!"
Prof. X: I have to admit that was a valiant effort by both Superstars. It could have easily gone either way.
Francine: I have to say I was impressed here by both of these guys. The TV title definitely brings out the best in the GZWA roster.
The Carter: That's for damn sure. I'm sure Ryan Reigns would be proud of his comrade tonight.
*** Hell In A Cell Match for the GZWA World Heavyweight Championship ***
"The Hardcore Monster" Carnage (c) vs. "The Emo Warrior" Jimmy Jacobs
Prof. X: Well, it’s finally that time for tonight’s main event as reigning GZWA World Heavyweight Champion Carnage defends his title against the challenger, Jimmy Jacobs, inside the confines of Hell in a Cell. At our last event, Jimmy Jacobs was the one who entered the Elimination Chamber as the champion but lost the title to Carnage. After besting CM Punk for the coveted #1 Contender spot, the Emo Warrior is a man on a mission to reclaim what is his.
Francine: Wise choice of Jacobs to select a Hell in a Cell match. It prevents any outside interference from the Authority or anyone else who would try to tamper with the outcome of this match.
The Carter: It’s not like Carnage needs help dealing with anyone in the first place… I’m still having nightmare about what he did to Shawn Rodriguez on the last Primetime!
The Emo Warrior stood in the ring as Carnage was the last competitor to enter the horrifying structure. Carnage slams door shut behind him upon arrival while the ringside crew promptly lock and secure the door.
After the opening bell, Carnage cautiously follows Jimmy Jacobs around the ring as he maneuvers around him hastily looking to make the first move. Carnage’s impatience gets the best of him and makes the first move with a Running Lariat as Jimmy Jacobs moves out of the way. The Emo Warrior capitalized with a series of jabs in the corner. Carnage breaks through Jacobs’ offense with a Elbow Smash to the face before Irish whipping him out of corner and into the ropes. Jacobs returns from the rebound into the pending Big Boot from the Hardcore Monster.
Carnage has only begun toying with Jacobs as he tosses him over the ropes to ringside. The Hardcore Monster then lifts Jimmy Jacobs onto his shoulders and smashes him spine-first into the side of the Cell. As Jacobs writhed in pain, Carnage delivered multiple repeating headbutts to Jacobs before smashing the Emo Warrior’s face onto the cell. Carnage continued to grind Jimmy Jacobs’ face against the steel fencing. Carnage ended his physical abuse to Jacobs’ face and found a new muse for his boredom by tossing the Emo Warrior into the steel steps. Jimmy Jacobs hits the steps so hard that it unhinges them upon impact.
Carnage dragged Jimmy Jacobs back to his feet by the hair and rolled him back into the ring. Jimmy Jacobs’ torso hung out on the ring apron as Carnage got a sinister idea as a wicked grin washed over his face. Showing shades of the Undertaker himself, Carnage delivered a Jumping Leg Drop over Jacobs’ throat on the ring apron. With Jacobs out of it in the ring, Carnage took the time to toss the steel steps into the ring.
The cameras switch over to a shot of the members of the Authority watching backstage on the flatscreen monitor in the GZWA Chairman’s office.
Prof. X: I’m sure the Authority are watching this match with great interest as Carnage holds a lot of their personal interests in this match. If Carnage loses tonight, then the Authority loses a heavy stake of power in the championship landscape of GZWA.
Francine: That’s a pretty big if, there, professor.
The Carter: I gotta admit, Jacobs has been looking like Carnage’s personal punching bag out there so far.
Carnage leans the steel steps into corner and tosses Jacobs into the corner like javelin. Carnage repeats this gesture again. As Jacobs’ body slumped against the steel steps in the corner, Carnage hit the ropes and returned with a Running Flying Shoulder Block but misses, impacting steel instead. The Emo Warrior capitalizes the Hardcore Monster’s mistake with a Spear into the steel steps in corner.
Prof. X: That was definitely the opening that Jacobs needed to start turning this match around into his favor.
Jacobs took the opportunity to set up and stack two tables set up at ringside. He stood on the ring apron and tried to return back into the ring, but Carnage reached over the ropes with his hand around the Emo Warrior’s neck for a Chokeslam. Jimmy Jacobs counters with a rope-assisted Jawbreaker and reaches underneath the ring. Once armed with a steel chair, Jacobs hammers the foreign object over the Hardcore Monster’s skull to keep him reeling. Jacobs sets up another table in the ring before spinning around and decking Carnage with the steel chair again to leave the Hardcore Monster down on the canvas. As Carnage began to stir, Jacobs took the time to bring a ladder into the ring and set it up.
The Carter: A ladder? I guess Jacobs didn’t get the memo about this not being a TLC match.
Francine: Anything goes within the confines of Hell in a Cell, Carter.
The Emo Warrior’s devilish intentions were soon revealed as he rolled Carnage onto the table that he setup earlier. Jacobs then ascended the ladder and delivered a Diving Elbow Drop with steel chair underneath his arm. Jacobs goes for the cover.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!!
Prof. X: Any lesser man would have given up a long time ago.
Carnage tosses Jacobs across the ring as he powers out of the pin attempt. Jacobs rolls out onto the ring apron and motions for a Springboard Clothesline (showing shades of CM Punk) back into the ring towards the waking Carnage, but Carnage surprises Jacobs with his quick recovery by knocking him off the ring apron with a Running Shoulder Block that knocks the Emo Warrior into the cell wall behind him.
Carnage then arms himself with the other half of the steel steps from earlier and uses them like a battering ram, smashing it directly into the skull of the waking Emo Warrior. Jimmy Jacobs’ induction into the Hall of Pain continues as Carnage hoists him onto his shoulders in an Oklahoma Slam position and charges straight for the cell wall. Jacobs slides behind Carnages and shoves him face-first into the corner post to narrowly avoid further possible punishment from the Hardcore Monster - at least for now. With Carnage reeling, Jacobs uses dropped steel steps to launch himself into the air with a Flying Spear that knocks both men through the Cell wall.
As both men laid out cold on what remained of the steel fencing, the crowd echoed chants of “HOLY SHIT!” throughout the arena.
Francine: I think that was the closest thing to Jacobs using a gun on Carnage to try to win this match.
Prof. X: What Jacobs is willing to do shows how much he wants the championship to go home with him.
The Carter: He must be pretty lonely… No Amanda Cortez, no Lacey, not even Paige is around keep him company. Sounds like he has a worse track record than me with the ladies!
Francine: Please, that’s impossible.
Both Superstars began to stir and return to their feet in front of the commentary table as the Emo Warrior tried to drag the Hardcore Monster back to his feet but to no avail. Carnage sent Jimmy Jacobs into the ringside barricade with a powerful Irish whip. As Carnage loomed near, Jimmy Jacobs hammered Carnage with monitor from commentary table and rolls Carnage onto the commentary table. The commentary team moves out of the way as Jimmy Jacobs sprints across the cell wall leaning against the table like a bridge and spears the waking Carnage into the front row of the live crowd.
The Carter: This is pure insanity!!
Francine: These boys would’ve fit right at home with the rest of us crazy kids in the original ECW.
Prof. X: Remember pinfalls must be made IN THE RING, so Jacobs has to find some way to get the Hardcore Monster back into the ring if he wants to win this thing.
Jimmy Jacobs stands over Carnage’s fallen body as the GZWA Nation is firmly behind him, cheering him on towards victory. Carnage began to stir and slowly crawled out the wreckage and back towards the ring. Jacobs pursued his prey and smashed his skull repeatedly against the side of the cell. He took the time to carefully smear Carnage’s face into the steel fencing, much like how Carnage did in the early part of this match. Jacobs rolled Carnage back into the ring and took to the corner as he stalked the waking Carnage with the Spear once again. The Hardcore Monster responds with a Black Hole Slam in an act of desperation and makes the cover.
ONE…
TWO…
TH--NO!!!
Francine: Jimmy Jacobs is digging deep here. I don’t know where he’s getting this second wind from.
After giving a cut throat motion, Carnage goes for the Total Annihilation (Elgin Bomb). Jimmy Jacobs played his desperation card in the form of a Low Blow. With the Hardcore Monster doubled over in pain, the Emo Warrior capitalizes with the Contra Code (Shiranui), dropping Carnage onto the steel steps. Jacobs covers Carnage.
ONE…
TWO…
TH--NO!!
Jimmy Jacobs’ frustration grows as he beckons the Hardcore Monster to his feet after pounding the steel chair into the canvas in anticipation. Carnage stops the incoming chair shot with a Big Boot that knocks the chair out of the Emo Warrior’s hand. With Jacobs’ reeling, Carnage turned the tables with a Release Powerbomb directed towards the stacked tables setup at ringside. Jimmy Jacobs slides off of Carnage’s shoulders, drops behind the Hardcore Monster, and hits the ropes. Carnage spun around to experience yet another Spear from Jacobs first-hand after Jacobs rebound from the ropes. Jimmy Jacobs counts along with the referee.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE---NO!!!
Jimmy Jacobs is livid as he throws a tantrum on the mat after the near-fall.
Francine: Maybe I was wrong… Jimmy might actually need a gun to put Carnage away here tonight.
Jimmy Jacobs removes a steel pike from inside his boot, but doesn’t stop there as he pulls out two more from his other boot.
Prof. X: Looks like Jimmy Jacobs is going into a dark place tonight. He’s hearing the voices speak to him…
Francine: I believe you have him mixed up with Randy Orton, professor.
Prof. X: Maybe so, but times like these you have to be your own best friend in that ring in a match like this.
The Carter: Yeah, especially when going up against the Hardcore Monster.
Jimmy Jacobs slides the three pikes between the gaps between his fingers – imitating Wolverine’s adamantium claws – and began punching the forehead of the Hardcore Monster as he sat on his chest. It doesn’t take long before Carnage’s face is covered with a crimson mask as Jacobs took the time to lick his pikes clean before dragging Carnage towards the corner. Given their size difference, it takes a bit of effort to move the extra weight of the Hardcore Monster. The Emo Warrior took a moment to catch his breath as he sat on top of the turnbuckle before motioning for a Tornado DDT. That proves to be a fatal mistake as Carnage uses this golden opportunity to retaliate with a throat thrust. Jacobs is reeling on the top rope but Carnage is there to stamp his ticket for his flight plans with a Two Handed Choke Toss that sends Jimmy Jacobs crashing through tables at ringside.
The Carter: The longer this match goes on, the more it reminds me of a comic book.
Prof. X: Which one? Wolverine vs. The Hulk?
Francine: That’s a dead ringer for this match if Carnage rips Jimmy Jacobs in half and leaves both halves in different ends of the arena…
As the live crowd resumes their chants of “HOLY SHIT” that echo throughout the arena, Carnage rolls the battle weary Jacobs back into the ring and stalks his prey.
Prof. X: No, it can’t be… He can’t be going for what I think he is…
The Emo Warrior staggers to his feet to experience a Spear from Carnage. Carnage covers Jimmy Jacobs.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE—NO!!
Francine: Someone explain to me how is he still alive and willing to continue?
Prof. X: I don’t know what to tell you other than that’s how bad he wants the GZWA World Heavyweight Championship back in his possession.
Carnage grabbed Referee Earl Hebner by the throat after arguing the near-fall. Before he could chokeslam the official to the mat, Jimmy Jacobs makes the save with chair-assisted Knee Clip to Carnage. After Carnage drops down to one knee, Hebner makes his escape while the Emo Warrior continued to strike the Hardcore Monster repeatedly with the steel chair. Carnage topples to the canvas like a tree being cut down. Jimmy Jacobs doesn’t stop here as he surprises the masses by exiting the ring briefly only to search underneath the ring for something more. Jacobs tosses another chair into the ring, followed by another and another until the Hardcore Monster is buried underneath a pile of steel chairs.
The Carter: I guess that’s Jimmy Jacobs’ way of telling Carnage to have “several seats” or however that saying goes…
The Emo Warrior adds to the insanity with a Diving Senton from the top rope. Jimmy Jacobs writhes in pain after the impact as Carnage remains buried underneath the pile of steel chairs.
Prof. X: C’mon kid! Win this thing! Now’s your chance!
Francine: Jacobs is too hurt to capitalize with a pin.
The Carter: This is surreal to see how far that he’s willing to go to win here.
Jimmy Jacobs dragged himself back to his feet in the corner, using the ropes for support and beckoned Carnage back to his feet for the kill with (hopefully) the final Spear. Somehow, someway, the Hardcore Monster slowly rose from the underneath the ashes. Jimmy Jacobs closed in with a bold charge towards Carnage with the Spear, but Carnage responds with strong elbow shot to the face (think Wade Barrett’s Bullhammer) before reeling him back in by the wrist for the Buckle Bomb (Running Release Powerbomb into the corner). After Jimmy Jacobs’ spine bounces off the corner post upon impact, Carnage wastes no time following suit with the Total Annihilation (Spinning Sitout Powerbomb/Michael Elgin Combination after Buckle Bomb). Carnage pins Jimmy Jacobs with his shoulders secured to the mat upon impact as a reluctant Referee Earl Hebner makes the count.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
WINNER: “The Hardcore Monster” Carnage (retains).
Prof. X: There you have it, folks. Jimmy Jacobs gave it his all, but in the end, Carnage endured everything that the Emo Warrior threw at him and hit harder to retain the GZWA World Heavyweight Championship.
Francine: Just look at the chaos in and out of this ring. Jimmy Jacobs put up one hell of a fight here tonight. Carnage can’t deny that he had to fight to keep that title tonight.
The Carter: That’s for damn sure, Franny.
Prof. X: That’s all we have time for tonight, GZWA fans. Thank you for joining us for Devils May Cry. Stay tuned for ReAction as we cover the fallout from tonight’s broadcast.
Proudly Presents:
Devils May Cry
Recorded Date: June 12, 2015
Air Date: June 23, 2015
The show begins with Elvis Crespo “Suavemente” blasting through the speakers, before boos shower in the arena.
The expression he is giving when he’s walking down the ramp is no different from the past Primetime shows-serious and discontent. Because of the microphone in his hands, he is also in the vocal mood.
“What a rough way to start, eh? Well, I’d like to start
“But as of today, there are going to be some changes around here. Changes that I have to make in order to be a household name here just like I am in the indies. In order to announce one of those changes, I need someone out here in the ring, because it addresses this individual.”
“So, let’s get to it. Mei, if you may, come out here…por favor.”
A brief moment of silence surrounds the arena, until finally a gong sounds off. This leads to massive cheers from the audience before the pop introduction begins. Mei Long, dressed in a casual white tanktop and blue jeans, enters the arena from backstage. By the look on her face, she is surprised over the Cuban Hooligan calling for her, of all people.
“Welcome, Mei. Feeling good, today?
He awaits an answer from Mei, but she is still too confused to react.
“Good. So we’ve been together for years, right? I’m sure the audience has been aware of that already.”
Mei nods her head with a smile, causing the situation to be at ease, or so she believes.
“And the audience already knows about my purpose in being here. You know so too right? ”
“Since we got the point of that out of the way, I can finally get to the point of you being on stage right now, mi amor.”
“I’ve told you before that joining the Authority was by force, and even by that, I could find a way to break from it. I could find a way to fight this difficult battle of being held in chains by Xion Zeros and the rest of his minions backstage. I could fight the battle. Yes, I have told you, and what did you do?”
“You chose to think about yourself!”
Mei quickly expresses shock, and tries to tell her story to him. Her volume is barely noticeable to the audience by how close she was to the microphone.
“Wait, I was only….”
“What? You were doing it for me? No, you were not! You thought about yourself and your injustice. All this time, I’ve tried to help you with seizing your title again after losing it to Raven. I thought I was doing it out of love, and there was nothing wrong with that, but then I realized, when have you ever done anything for me?”
“Convincing you to break away from AJ Styles? That was for you. Defending your honor against those…sneaky little putas? That was for you. Fighting your battles against one Superstar after another. That was for you. I’ve had to fend for myself since I’ve been here. Resigning my contract was all my doing.
“Being in the Authority was hell on earth, but now I’m starting to see why I was there. Carnage has been more of a friend here than anyone else in this company. His many failures before winning his championship reflect that. You, however, can’t seem to understand that, because you are so stuck in your little ways that you are jeopardizing that. Even when I tell you not to fight him, you do it anyways. To make matters worse, YOU! You fling around with that…..little rata!”
“Hold up!”
“You stubborn buuuurrraaaahhhh! Do you not understand about how I feel about that? I try to handle this situation, and you are dancing around, “kung-fu sparing” with the enemy? That tells you that it was for yourself, and because of having to baby you, I’m missing on some championship gold. I’m missing golden opportunities here. As of now, that is going to change. You know what that means, Mei?”
Romero leans in towards Mei’s face with a Cheshire grin. Mei, still in disbelief.
“You know? Uh-Huh! I’m kicking your little culo to the curb! ”
Showering boos from the audience now level up into a flood. Puzzled Mei begins to weep. Before the Beautiful Dragon turns away from him, hiding her faces with her hands, Romero begins to kick the dog more.
“That’s right, honey. Since you don’t seem to listen to my very wishes, then I don’t see why we should be together.”
“Don’t you try that sulking with me, Mei! You have only yourself to blame! Time and time again, I’ve tried to tell you to stay away from my battles. I got this. I GOT THI-“
SLAP!
Romero suddenly cuts off mid-sentence. The audience now showering positive energy in the arena with lauding cheers. Romero touches his cheek….to ease the pain after Mei back-handed him.
If that wasn’t enough retaliation, Mei snatches the microphone from Romero’s hand, speaking of her reaction to this news.
“Wow, that’s a beautiful speech you just gave. Very cute. I was beginning to see why you were acting this way towards me. You expected me to do nothing but play housewife, while you did all of the work and played with your “friend” Carnage, but are you aware that in order to become a champion, you must actually do the work? I did that, and I got my chance at the title, and won it. Now, you expect me to do nothing at all? Clearly, you are an idiot if you think so.”
“And since we are on the discussion of “friends”, “doing work” and “Carnage”, you expect some type of change being alongside the Authority? You expect “championship gold” kissing their behind? Don’t be silly, Rocky. The proof is Carnage’s status compared to yours. He wins the championship, and what are you? His lackey. His shadow. You believe that you are showing some appreciation pondering to Carnage’s every movements? But, there is one thing you can’t seem to understand…”
“I LOVED YOU, ROCKY! More than anyone in the past. Why? We were essentially the same. Same determination, same positive aura. Same style of wrestling. Just the fact that we were both willing to defy the usual standards that this company expects us to follow. Not even Carnage, as a friend, can give those things being the Authority’s personal pet.”
“I guess if there is one thing we can’t go is our same directions, huh?”
“You know what? Fine then. Fine! If you believe that I am of hindrance to you, then I won’t help you any longer. Stay with the Authority and your “friend” for all I care.”
Mei shoves the microphone right back to Romero, before exiting the ring.
** Singles Match **
"The American Predator" Zane vs. Sheik MMA
Zane and Sheik are already in the ring and Zane was not happy with last primetime when Shiek got him disqualified in the match against undertaker.
The Carter: You can be sure that Zane wants Sheik head on a steel spike.
Prof. X: No doubt after what Shiek did, you can be sure Zane is out for revenge.
Shiek the grabs a mic and he begins to speak.
Shiek: You stupid americans, what I did at prime time was set the record straight. You stupid americans need to suffer for what you did to my people and right now ...I’m going to make an example out of Zane.
He drops the mic and he goes and charge after Zane and Zane moves out of the way. Zane then comes running in with a clothesline that turned Sheik inside out. Shiek then gets up and Zane grabs him by the head and Sheik hits a punch into Zane stomach. He hits another punch, but Zane then grabs his fist and Sheik look up as Zane hits a high knee to his face. Sheik falls to the ground and holds his face. He begins to crawl.
Francine: Looks like Sheik is getting what he deserves.
Sheik gets up and he goes into the corner and Zane comes running and hits a clothesline and Sheik goes up in air and lands hard on the mat. He then picks up Sheik and throws him out of the ring. Sheik lands on his back and he starts to stand up. Zane comes running and hits a suicide dive and Shiek moves out of the way.
The Carter: Damn, Zane lands hard on the outside mat. Reminds me of my high school days.
Francine: What, the chicks hated you back then also.
The Carter: Always have to hate.
Francine: To you ...yes.
Sheik then picks up Zane and throws him in the ring. Zane on the Mat on his back and Shiek climbs the turnbuckle and he hits a splash and Zane Rolls out of the way and he gets up and hits A New Dawn and he covers Sheik and the Ref counts.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE...
WINNER: "The American Predator" Zane.
Francine: Zane has beaten Sheik is what could be interesting match. Zane pretty much dominated but Sheik did get a few hits in.
The Carter: Yea but that wasn’t enough.
Zane gets up and the ref raises his hand in the air.
** Non-sanctioned Match **
"Lady So Divine" Delta Madison vs. "The E.N.D." Endee Leights
Prof. X: For GZWA fans wondering why these former teammates are at odds, allow me to offer a brief recap. Both Vixens are veterans and active competitors on the TWE roster which recently saw Endee Leights turn to the dark side as she betrayed Delta Madison. Both Vixens went to GZWA Chairman Xion Zeros and requested to iron out their family dispute in the ring here on tonight’s Pay-Per-View event, despite that Delta Madison is already booked to compete as part of the Queen of Queens Tournament Semi-Finals later tonight.
Francine: I’m sure her opponent, Alice Shadow, is loving this turn of events as win, lose, or draw - the Lady So Divine is going to be going into the Semi-Finals with reduced stamina.
Prof. X: Stamina and endurance are definitely going to be factors at play here tonight for Delta Madison.
Both siblings don’t even wait for the opening bell to get their hands on each other as Delta Madison tackles Endee Leights to the canvas with a double leg takedown. Endee rolls over on top of Delta and pummels her with a fury of strikes before the Lady So Divine turns the tables with an Juji Gatame. Endee panics and flips Delta over with a Hair Pull Snapmare to release the hold prematurely before following suit with a Jumping Double Foot Stomp into Delta’s abdomen. Delta Madison gasps in pain loudly as Endee wastes no time covering the Lady So Divine.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!!
Endee Leights argues the count with the referee before turning her attention back towards the waking Delta Madison. The E.N.D. sought to
end this match quickly literally with a Leights Out (Shining Wizard). Delta caught Endee on her shoulders and tossed her into the ropes with a Running Release Powerbomb (a la Seth Rollins). The E.N.D. rebounds from the ropes and walks right into the pending Northern Lights Suplex from the Lady So Divine who bridges her body upon impact into a pin of her own.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!!
The Carter: Looks like Delta Madison took a page out of Chris Matthews’ playbook there.
Francine: Not surprising to say that they dated briefly…
The Lady So Divine wasn’t deterred by the E.N.D.’s kickout and continued her offense with a Delirious (Cartwheel Backflip Splash). Things didn’t go according to plan as Endee quit playing possum long enough to roll up Delta in a Backslide Pin.
ONE…
TWO…
WAIT!!
Delta Madison reverses their positions and drags Endee back to her feet before slamming her back to the canvas with a Cobra Clutch Bomb. The Lady So Divine follows up with a DeltaSault (Moonsault from the 2nd rope), only for Endee to defend with her knees up. The E.N.D. wisely rolls out of the ring to recuperate and snatches Zoey Valentine’s chair from ringside before returning to the ring.
Prof. X: Remember this is a non-sanctioned match so pretty much anything goes…
After sliding back into the ring, armed with a steel chair, Endee Leights grabbed Delta Madison by the hair and flung her into the corner with a vicious Mat Slam, whiplashing her spine against the corner post. The E.N.D doesn’t stop there as she performs a mock Vandaminator (RVD Running Dropkick assisted with steel chair) by means of her own signature Future Endeevours (Triangle Dropkick) to the Lady So Divine in the corner.
Endee Leight then hit the kill switch in the form of Endeeure (Jumping Tornado DDT) to the reeling Delta Madison in the corner. Somehow the Lady So Divine manages to fight back by throwing Endee to the canvas to interrupt the execution of the maneuver. Just as Endee got on all-fours to will herself back to a vertical base, Delta planted her face onto the steel chair with a Running Bulldog from out of the corner. Delta then takes the steel chair and drapes it over Endee’s body before ascending the top rope again. Delta puts her body on the line with a successful Delta Force (Shooting Star Press). The Lady So Divine writhes in pain after impact before making the pin on Endee Leights.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!
WINNER: "Lady So Divine" Delta Madison.
Delta's post-match victory celebration is short-lived before she turned to Endee Leights. To her surprise, Delta extended a hand to help her back to her feet. Endee reluctantly accepted the gesture, especially after what these two Vixens have put themselves through. The two sisters stared down before Endee pat Delta on the back before exiting the ring.
Prof. X: Seems like Delta and Endee may have gotten that sibling rivalry out of their systems.
Francine: I hope so. The GZWA Nation deserves to see the Ladies of Doom back on the same page again.
The Carter: I hope that match didn't take too much out of Delta Madison. She's still got another match tonight!
** Grudge Match **
"The Dream Killer" Ry Drake vs. "The Cuban Hooligan" Rocky Romero
Prof. X: Mere moments ago, we saw that the relationship between Rocky Romero and Mei Long has come to an end...
Francine: Uh-oh, Carter might be able to catch her on the rebound...
The Carter: Really??
Francine: Does a snowball have a chance in hell? I think not.
The Cuban Hooligan walks down the entrance ramp with his usual arrogant swagger as the Dream Killer stood in the ring, awaiting his arrival. The Dream Killer's impatience got the best of him as Ry Drake greets Rocky Romero by flying out of the ring with a Suicide Dive through the ropes. Both Superstars crash onto the bottom of entrance ramp.
The Carter: Here we go, folks!
Both Superstars stagger to their feet brawling all around ringside until Ry Drake headbutts Rocky Romero before Irish whipping him into the ringside barricade. The Dream Killer backs away briefly before charging back in with a Running Splash to Romero in the corner. The Cuban Hooligan reacted with an Exploder Suplex to counter the incoming Splash by throwing Ry Drake into the side of the barricade. The Cuban Hooligan doesn't stop there as he positioned himself onto the ring apron. As Ry Drake staggered to his face, Rocky Romero races off ring apron with High Knee.
The Carter: My God, the Cuban Hooligan is going straight to business here.
Francine: You could say he's much more focused now that he's not distracted with the Beautiful Dragon...
The Carter: She can "distract" me all she wants.
Prof. X: What's Romero trying to do now??
Rocky Romero is shown tearing away the protective padding on the floor and exposes the unprotected concrete floor. Rocky Romero then moved Drake into position and motions for Double Underhook DDT onto the unprotected floor. Ry Drake's survival instincts kick in just time to counter with a STO Backbreaker. With Rocky Romero down on all-fours, Ry Drake craved victory and went for the kill in the form of the Assassination (Jumping Curb Stomp). This time, the Cuban Hooligan's survival instincts save him from Drake's offense as Romero elevated the Dream Killer into the air and delivered Fireman's Carry Double Knee Gutbuster as Ry Drake fell from the heavens.
As Ry Drake laid writhing in pain, the Cuban Hooligan didn't show any signs of remorse before executing a Kurayami Piledriver (Kneeling Reverse Piledriver) on the exposed concrete floor.
Several fans in attendance gasp in unison at the shock of Ry Drake's body impacting to the floor and going limp as he slumped to the floor.
Prof. X:HE'S GOT A FAMILY, DAMMIT!! SOMEONE COME OUT HERE AND STOP THIS!!!
Francine: To be honest, this match never "officially" started since both Superstars weren't ever in the ring together at the start. Ry Drake just took it into his own hands to start things in his own impromptu manner.
The Carter: Thank god. The EMTs are already out here for Ry Drake can get the medical attention that he needs.
While the Dream Killer laid lifeless at his feet, the Cuban Hooligan stood on the barricade mocking and taunting the GZWA Nation as the EMTs loaded Ry Draker onto a stretcher. The EMTs wrapped a neck brace around the Dream Killer's neck and wheeled up the entrance ramp.
Prof. X: It saddens me to see this match ending abruptly like this, but I feared for Ry Drake's well-being if this match was allowed to continue. Who knows if Drake hasn't suffered a career-threatening injury from that brutal attack?
Francine: Sadly that goes with the territory, professor. Ry Drake knew what he agreed to when he accepted this match.
The Carter: What's going on? Is that guy crazy?
The cameras pan back towards Ry Drake being wheeled up the entrance ramp by the EMTs. The Dream Killer is shown shoving the medical staff away as he rolls off the stretcher and races back down the entrance ramp. Ry Drake slid into the ring and stopped Rocky Romero's victory celebration with Running Busaiku Knee (Daniel Bryan's Knee Plus) from behind.
Prof. X: Looks like this match is going to continue, folks.
With the Cuban Hooligan grounded, Ry Drake applies a Dragon Sleeper Hold. Rocky Romero slowly fades in the hold with the referee looking for any signs of the Superstar willing to submit or loss of consciousness. The Cuban Hooligan wills himself back to his feet and breaks the hold by shoving their bodies into the corner post. Rocky Romero tore the neck brace from around the Dream Killer's neck and threw it to the floor. The Cuban Hooligan hit the ropes and rebound with the first in a series of clotheslines into the corner. Rocky Romero repeats this offense again and again, before Ry Drake counters with Reverse STO onto the bottom turnbuckle.
The crowd is fully behind Ry Drake as Rocky Romero staggered to his feet before the Dream Killer struck with the Laid Out (Strong Right Kick to the head). Rocky Romero collapses face-first into the canvas and Ry Drake makes the cover with the GZWA Nation counting along.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!!
WINNER: "The Dream Killer" Ry Drake.
*** Queen of the Cage Match ***
"Wonder Girl" Ashley Wonder vs. "The Guru" Danielle Bradley vs. "Miss Murder" Mandisa Carter vs. "The Georgia Peach" Morgan Davis
The cameras return to the ring with the steel cage lowered for the next match as ring announcer Zoey Valentine stood in the middle of the ring.
Zoey Valentine raises the microphone to her lips before the competitors come to the ring, "There was a slight bit of confusion among the GZWA Nation regarding the rules of this match on ReAction. It is NOT limited to those individuals who lost in the Queen of Queens Tournament, but rather to the entire Vixens division. That being said, this match is an elimination-style match where the winner shall be the last woman standing, BUT in the result of one Vixen managing to escape the cage, that woman will be instantly deemed the winner of this match."
Zoey Valentine promptly left the ring after introducing the individuals in this match for the ringside officials could secure the cage.
Prof. X: We're a little light on competition for this one, aren't we?
Francine: I wouldn't sell the Vixen division short on any day of the week to be quite honest.
The Carter: Amber Torres reportedly requested some tonight off with Jaser Cruz.
Francine: Birds of a feather, flock together. I'm sure they are still licking their wounds after their losses on Primetime.
Prof. X: Could be, but the best thing one could do in times like that is to walk away for a little while and take your mind off things before coming back into the game even more ferocious than before.
Francine: Very true, professor. We have four women who have a lot to prove to the GZWA Nation tonight.
The match erupts into a brawl between the four Vixens as Danielle Bradley and Ashley Wonder trade blows while Morgan Davis and Mandisa Carter ignite the bitter rivalry between the Clique and the Queen Bee Mafia once more. Morgan Davis greeted the resident Amazon of the Clique with a kick to the midsection, only for Miss Murda to catch the Georgia Peach’s arm underneath her arm. Mandisa then elevated Morgan overhead before tossing her against the cage wall. After Morgan’s spine bounds off of the unforgiving steel, Mandisa elevates Morgan above again - this time with a Stalling Brainbuster. The Wonder Girl ducked an incoming Leg Lariat from the Guru, only to walk straight into a Big Boot from Miss Murda as she still held Morgan on her shoulders. Danielle and the waking Ashley get on the same page momentarily as they sweep Mandisa Carter off of her feet in unison, causing Morgan Davis to fall on top of her with an impromptu diving splash, pinning her to mat.
ONE…
TW--NO!!!
Mandisa powers out, tossing Morgan across the ring. Morgan Davis returns to her feet at the same time as Mandisa Carter sat up from the canvas. Morgan, Danielle, and Ashley form a silent bond as they all Irish whip Mandisa into the cage wall. The trio repeat this gesture again and again to the adjacent steel walls. As they attempt to send her into the remaining wall, Mandisa elbows Ashley in the gut and shoves Danielle and Morgan into the unforgiving steel instead. After the faces bounce off of the cage walls, Mandisa displays her power once more by lifting both Danielle Bradley AND Morgan Davis in a double Stalling Brainbuster. The Wonder Girl quickly regained her bearings and sent all 3 Vixens to the canvas with a well-placed Missile Dropkick. With all three Vixens down, Ashley seems conflicted. Little Wonder urges her to take the easier route by escaping the cage.
The Carter: That’s not very heroic…
Francine: Can you blame her? Avoid all of that unnecessary drama and get the win while all of the other Vixens are down!
Ashley Wonder slowly ascends the cage as the other Vixens began to stir on the canvas. Mandisa Carter is the first to return to her feet and pursue her prey up the cage. As Ashley reached the top of the cage, Mandisa snagged her by the leg and wouldn’t let go. Ashley kicked Mandisa in the head with her free leg to send her reeling as she stood on top of the turnbuckle on shaky legs, but Danielle Bradley was there to hinder Ashley’s escape plans. The Wonder Girl smashed Danielle’s face into the cage and walked across the edge of the cage before delivering a Diving Hurracanrana to the dazed Mandisa. Miss Murda caught Wonder Girl on her shoulders and powerbombed her into the corner at the top of the cage. Morgan Davis then positioned herself underneath Mandisa Carter and powerbombed Mandisa to the mat while she still had Ashley Wonder in tow in a makeshift Tower of Doom (Simultaneous Corner Powerbomb and Modified Fallaway Facebuster).
Among the chants of “THIS IS AWESOME!” while the bodies of the three Vixens laid scattered across the ring, Danielle sat the top of the cage. She could have easily won this match right here, but the energy in the building and her competitive spirit drives her to dive from the top of the cage with the D-Bomb (Corkscrew Moonsault). The Guru’s body impacts on top of Mandisa Carter but Danielle writhes in pain after the impact of the fall. That doesn’t stop the Georgia Peach from pinning Miss Murda to the canvas with a Boo-Tee Print (Butt Drop).
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Zoey Valentine: Mandisa Carter has been eliminated.
Morgan Davis licks the palm of her hand and chopped the chest of Danielle Bradley as she continue to shake off the pain of her daredevil maneuver. The Georgia Peach repeated the gesture to the waking Wonder Girl, who evades between Morgan’s legs and rolls her up into a School Boy pin.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!
Morgan rolls through with a catapult, launching Ashley Wonder into the corner. The Wonder Girl lands on top of the turnbuckle like a nimble cat and took flight with a Shooting Star DDT to the unsuspecting Georgia Peach. After Morgan’s skull bounces off of the canvas, the Guru is there to follow up with a Handspring Splash to the grounded Georgia Peach. Both Danielle Bradley and Ashley Wonder motion to make the pin but the two Vixens get into an argument that quickly becomes physical as the Guru directs a High Kick towards the Wonder Girl’s head. Ashley Wonder ducks underneath Danielle’s kick, hits the ropes, and rebounds back towards Danielle. The Guru stopped the Wonder Girl in her tracks with a kick to the midsection and delivered a Floatover DDT. Ashley spun out of position with a Butterfly Swinging Neckbreaker. Once again, Danielle one-ups Ashley’s offense like Ashley mere seconds prior and shoves her into the ropes to counter as Danielle hit the opposite ropes. Both Vixens rebound from the ropes and are caught in the clutches of Mandisa Carter.
The Carter: I thought she was eliminated!!??
Prof. X: Yeah, but it looks like she’s not a happy camper.
Francine: I think being a sore loser is spreading like wildfire among the members of the Clique. First, Amber, then Jaser and now Mandisa. You would think they were related to the Enforcers or something…
Mandisa Carter prepares to Double Chokeslam the two Vixens out of spite but she's sent flying out of the cage door by a well-placed Boo-Tee Bump (Hip Attack/Rearview) from the Georgia Peach.
Francine: That’s one way to take out the trash...
Morgan then heads for the door only for Little Wonder to slam it shut in her face. The Georgia Peach falls to the canvas as Ashley Wonder motions to escape. Danielle crushes her dreams with the D-Train (Elijah Express) to smash her skull into the corner post before following suit with a Bridging German Suplex.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Zoey Valentine: Ashley Wonder has been eliminated.
While the Guru covered the Wonder Girl, Morgan Davis slowly crawled towards the cage door and got her body halfway out of the door before Danielle Bradley reeled her back into the cage by a yank of her ankle with an Ankle Lock firmly applied. Morgan kicked Danielle with her free leg to free herself before hobbling back to her feet. Danielle quickly recovered and leapfrogs over Morgan’s spine with a Running Bulldog, but the Georgia Peach responded with a Full Nelson Atomic Drop. Morgan Davis positioned herself on the top rope and delivered a Diving Foot Stomp to the grounded Danielle Bradley. The Guru rolled out the way to narrowly miss the impact. Danielle sprung back up to her feet, spun Morgan around upon her landing, and capitalized with a Jumping Neckbreaker to the Georgia Peach.
The Carter: Looks like Danielle Bradley has this match won. The only thing she has to do is add the finishing touch.
Francine: I hope Danielle realizes that it’s an honor to compete among the best female wrestlers in the world here in GZWA.
Prof. X: I’m sure she does realize that. You have to admire her determination to want a make an impact.
The Guru perched on the top rope yet again and took flight with the D-Bomb (Corkscrew Moonsault) to seal the deal. That was the plan until the Georgia Peach shook the ropes, causing the Guru to collapse on top of the turnbuckle. Morgan Davis then positioned herself underneath Danielle and capitalized with Running Powerbomb out of the corner into the center of the ring with a trip to Magic City (Sitout Powerbomb). Morgan Davis pins Danielle’s shoulders to the canvas after the impact.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Zoey Valentine: Danielle Bradley has been eliminated. Your winner and 2015 Queen of the Cage is Morgan Davis!
WINNER: "The Georgia Peach" Morgan Davis.
The Carter: That match could have gone either way. How are the other Vixens going to attempt to top that match?
Francine: I’m anxious to watch them try.
Prof. X: We’ve got a lot more women’s wrestling on tonight’s card, folks. Congratulations once again to the Georgia Peach, but to all of the women competing in this match for putting the Vixen division on notice.
*** Queen of Queens Tournament - Semi-Finals ***
** Singles Match **
"Lady So Divine" Delta Madison vs. Alice Shadow
Prof. X: Up next, we have the second and last semi-final match of the Queen of Queens Tournament. We already saw Natasha Rose advance to the finals after defeating Joanna Tarzanna. Now we’ll see who comes out on top as Alice Shadow takes on Delta Madison.
The Carter: Alice is such a sexual creature, I wouldn’t be surprised if she likes to be on top…
Francine: You’d love to know that wouldn’t you? Step in the ring with her boyfriend Zane and get your answer.
The Carter: Thanks but no thanks. I don’t want anything like he did to Sheik out here earlier tonight.
Before the opening bell, both Vixens shook hands out of good sportsmanship and respect for each other in the traditional Code of Honor.
After the bell, the two Vixens get straight to business with Alice Shadow on the offensive with a series of strikes. Delta ducks Alice’s strikes left and right before spanking Alice on the butt. Embarrassed and instantly pissed off, Alice responds with a Side Kick to the Lady So Divine’s jaw which sends her falling onto the ropes. Alice then stood on the ring apron and served repeated kicks to Delta’s face as her body laid between the ropes. Alice returned the favor on the previous act of humiliation with a Mat Slam followed by shouting “D MODE!!” as Delta laid at her feet.
The Carter: Someone tell Delta that I’m a supporter of “D Mode” if she’s looking for potential candidates.
Francine: Potential candidates? The only D Mode you’re going to get from her is when she tells you “Don’t Bother” when you try to talk to her…
Alice dragged Delta back to her feet and prepared to continue her offense with a Suplex but the Lady So Divine rolled her up with a Small Package.
ONE…
TW—NO!!
Alice broke out of the pin attempt with another Mat Slam, slamming the back of Delta’s head to the canvas.
Prof. X: Keep in mind that the Lady So Divine isn’t 100% from competing in that non-sanctioned match against Endee Leights earlier tonight. I believe that’s why we’re seeing a much more aggressive Alice Shadow tonight. She wants to take advantage of Delta’s loss of stamina.
Francine A wise move from Alice. Imagine the bragging rights from being able to knock off a veteran Vixen such as Delta Madison and winning this tournament.
Alice stood on Delta Madison’s hair while pulling at Delta’s arms,prompting an illegal hold count by the acting referee for this match.
1…
2…
3…
4…
Alice released the hold in time to avoid a disqualification and raised Delta back to her feet. Alice then sent Delta into the corner with an Irish whip. The child of darkness continued her offense with multiple repeated back elbows to the skull of the Lady So Divine until Delta powered through her offense with Atomic Drop transitioned into a Front Falling Facebuster. With Alice Shadow attempting to shake off the cobweb, Delta Madison positioned herself on the top rope and launched herself out of the corner with a Diving Spinning Lariat to the waking Alice.
The Carter: Looks like that's a one way ticket to Wonderland!
Francine Allison Wonderland was one of Jimmy Jacobs' friends and a former member of the GZWA roster - yet another woman who has remotely no interest in you.
After the leveling Alice to canvas successfully, Delta locked in a grounded side headlock. Alice slowly willed herself back to a vertical base while the Lady So Divine maintained her grasp with the hold. Alice frees herself by unleashing the Dark Shadow (Paige Turner) to the Lady So Divine. Alice covered Delta for the win.
ONE...
TWO...
TH--NO!!!
From the angle that the referee is making the count, it seems that Delta Madison is crawling away to escape ringside, but to the fans in attendance it's a rather familiar redheaded troublemaker who is pulling Delta out of the ring by her wrists.
The Carter: It's Amiee Vaughan!
Francine What's that mental case doing here?
Prof. X: Seems like she's up to no good as usual to me.
Delta snaps out of her daze to realize what Amiee is doing and retracts her hands out of Amiee's grasp. To Alice it seems that her prey is trying to get away and stops Delta's exit with a Deadlift Release German Suplex. The Lady So Divine lands on her feet and rebounds from the ropes with a Delirious (Cartwheel Backflip Splash).
ONE...
TWO...
NO!!
Alice powered out of the pin attempt, tossing Delta's body overhead and into the referee. Amiee Vaughan took advantage of this confusion and struck with an If You Seek Amiee (Edge Spear) as Alice Shadow sprung up from the canvas. Alice greeted her with a Big Boot to derail Amiee's mischievous plans, but that distraction was all that the Lady So Divine needed to capitalize with the Deli Choice (TKO). Amiee Vaughan rolled out of the ring as the referee made the count after Delta covered Alice.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!!
WINNER: "Lady So Divine" Delta Madison.
*** Queen of Queens Tournament - Semi-Finals ***
** Singles Match **
Natasha Rose vs. "Jungle Girl" Joanna Tarzanna
Prof. X: Up next, we have our first of two Queen of Queens Tournament Semi-Final matches. These 4 women have fought long and hard to make it this far, but only one can walk away tonight as the Queen of Queens. Sensational Mary herself will be joining us for the final match on commentary.
Francine I'm looking forward for the brainchild of this concept to be joining us later, but I'm anxious to see who comes out as the winner tonight.
The Carter: There's a lot of talk of Natasha Rose being the odds end favorite to win this tournament given her extensive background and reputation as a champion in several promotions. Then again, I wouldn't rule out Joanna here as she's got that rookie wildcard luck going for her.
Francine True, but luck will only get you so far, Carter. You should know that better than anyone.
Prof. X:Lack of respect for one another in this match, Natasha is ready to win by any means necessary.
Joanna gets the upper hand in momentum to start things off after countering Natasha's Fisherman Suplex with a Double Axe Handle over her spine. The Jungle Girl sent Natasha into the ropes with an Irish Whip and slammed her to the canvas with authority with a Powerslam. The Jungle Girl beat on her chest repeatedly before closing in with a Raging Slash (Discus Clothesline). Natasha stopped the Jungle Girl in her tracks with a well-placed Side Kick before dropping her to the canvas with a Russian Leg Sweep.
Natasha attempts to apply the Thorns of a Rose (Inverted Sharpshooter/Double Underhook Chickenwing Combination) but the Jungle Girl forcefully pushes Natasha away with her powerful legs into the corner. Natasha's spine whiplashes against the corner post as Joanna sprung back to her feet and charged into the corner at high speed, impacting into Natasha's body with a Body Splash. Natasha staggers out of the corner and into the pending Samoan Drop from the Jungle Girl. Natasha dropped behind her spine during execution and dropkicked Joanna in the spine, knocking Joanna face-first into the corner post. Natasha capitalized with School Boy roll up.
ONE...
TWO...
T--NO!!
Prof. X: That was definitely a close call for the Jungle Girl.
The Carter: I wonder if she's looking for a Tarzan to be the king of her jungle...
Francine Can it, Carter. She doesn't swing that way - literally and figuratively.
The Carter: What the hell man...
Francine Trust me, Carter. I'm sure it's you that's scaring all of the girls here into banging each other than the opposite sex. You're ruining it for the rest of the boys.
Natasha beckoned Joanna to her feet as she lined up a Spear to the waking Jungle Girl. Natasha charged in for the kill, but she's elevated overhead into the air as Joanna got her second wind in the form of a Military Press Spinebuster to counter the incoming Spear. With Natasha out cold, Joanna makes the cover.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!
The Carter: Wow, looks like the odds end favorite just got knocked out of this tournament.
Prof. X: Hold it there, partner. I think something's going on.
Francine This isn't over. Look at where Natasha's body is positioned.
Joanna is shown standing in the ring, celebrating until the referee points to Natasha Rose's foot clearly underneath the ropes.
Prof. X: That's definitely a rookie mistake there to overlook that, but a veteran move by Rose to have that level of ring awareness.
Francine It's not over until the fat lady sings...
Zoey Valentine: As decreed by our acting ring official, Natasha Rose's foot was underneath the rope at the time of the three count, so this match WILL continue until there is a clear winner.
The Jungle Girl looks enraged as Natasha began to stir. Joanna then positioned herself on the top rope and motioned for a Diving Headbutt. Natasha staggered to her feet and shook the nearby ropes, causing the Jungle Girl to collapse on top of the turnbuckle. Natasha took control of the momentum by hopping up off of the 2nd rope and crashing Joanna back to the canvas with a Sitout Facebuster. Natasha drapes her body over Joanna's as she confidently counted along with Referee Jacqueline Moore's pin count.
ONE...
TWO...
THR--NO!!!
Natasha looks on in disbelief before dragging Joanna back to her feet by the hair and flinging her into the ropes with an Irish whip. Joanna hits the ropes and redirects her momentum stylishly with a Tree Swing (619) before rebounding back towards with another Raging Slash (Discus Clothesline). Natasha greets her with a point-blank Reality Check (Running Bicycle Kick/Botox Injection), stopping Joanna dead in her tracks. Once again, Natasha makes the cover.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!
WINNER: Natasha Rose.
Prof. X: Natasha Rose has advanced to the finals of the Queen of Queens Tournament. One down, one to go.
Francine: That was a convincing win, if I say so myself.
The Carter: If that was only the first of our two semi-final matches, then I can't wait to see the rest of this tournament!
*** Tag Team Turmoil Match for GZWA Tag Team Championships
The MisFits ("Tattooed Beauty" Laura Jackson & "Queen of Submission" Casey Cortez)
vs.
Extreme Juggalos ("Straight-Edge Juggalo" Ryan Kendrick & "High-Flying Extremist" The Enigma; w/ Ronda Rousey)
vs.
The Enforcers (Dequan Wallace & G-Money Briggs; w/ Veda Scott)
vs.
Mega Busters (Matthew Miles & Psycho Sagus; w/ Ashleigh Cash)
Prof. X: After Primetime, the Mega Busters won the right to choose the stipulation for this match, but they surprised the competition when they didn't want a stipulation at all as they collectively felt that it would benefit them more if this was a run of the mill 'standard' tag team turmoil match.
Francine: For those who don't know, a tag team turmoil match is an elimination style tag team match. Two teams start off with another team replacing the other after a pinfall or submission until there's one team left standing. The MisFits pretty much have to run the gauntlet tonight if they hope to retain the gold.
The Carter: That's going to be a tough task to pull with all of these great teams in this match.
The MisFits start the match off against the Enforcers.
Prof. X: Damn, the heavy hitters are starting off right off the bat.
Casey Cortez and G-Money Briggs start off for their respective teams. Casey stares down with G-Money, no showing an ounce of fear. The two powerhouses lock-up with the two reaching a stalemate. The Tattooed Beauty tilted the scales into the MisFits' favor with a Missile Dropkick that sent G-Money reeling into the ropes. G-Money returned with a Shoulder Block that sent both Casey and Laura to the canvas. G-Money then tagged out to Dequan Wallace who got into position for the Lose/Lose Situation (Cade & Murdoch's Sweet & Sour combination) to the waking MisFits. To their dismay, the Queen of Submission and Tattooed Beauty both leapfrog over Dequan's incoming Bullet (The Gore), causing Dequan Wallace to take out his own partner. While Dequan curses himself for his mistake, the MisFits capitalized with a quick rollup.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!!
Zoey Valentine: The Enforcers have been eliminated!!
Veda Scott is livid at ringside as the Enforcers are already eliminated from this contest, shouting, "WE WEREN'T READY YET!!"
Prof. X: I think the Enforcers are more shocked than we are, folks.
Francine: That's all she wrote there.
The Carter: Bummer, I wanted more Veda time in this match.
The Extreme Juggalos are the second team to enter this match and don't waste any time storming the ring. The Enigma and Ryan Kendrick sent the MisFits into the corner with an Irish whip. Kendrick sandwiched Casey and Laura into the corner with a Faygo Splash (Stinger Splash) before dropping down on all-fours. The Enigma stepped off his back to deliver a Poetry in Motion. Casey caught the High-Flying Extremist in her arms and dropped him on top of Kendrick's spine with a Falling Fireman's Carry Slam. The Tattooed Beauty delivered a Russian Leg Sweep to the waking Ryan Kendrick while Casey flung the Enigma into the ropes with another Irish Whip. The MisFits greeted the High-Flying Extremist on the rebound with a Double Hip Toss.
The Queen of Submission took control from here, raising the Enigma off the canvas and back to this feet for a Suplex. The Enigma hooks her foot to stop the maneuver and shoves her into the ropes. Ronda Rousey struck Casey with strong right hook to Casey's jaw while the referee wasn't looking and hopped down from the ring apron as the Enigma went for the pin.
ONE...
TWO...
NO!!
The Enigma wasn't discouraged as he sprinted towards the ropes and delivered a Springboard Splash to pin Casey again.
ONE...
TWO...
T---NO!!
Laura Jackson broke the pin attempt. Ryan Kendrick tossed the Tattooed Beauty out of the ring. The Extreme Juggalos went back to their gameplan of overpowering the Queen of Submission. They sent her back into the corner with a Double Dropkick as she stood back up. The Extreme Juggalos' tandem offense continued with another Poetry in Motion, which was followed by a Lariat in the corner by Ryan Kendrick. The Straight-Edge Juggalo drove Casey's skull to the mat with an Evenflow DDT and the High-Flying Extremist wasted no time following suit with the No Limit (630 Degree Corkscrew Swanton Bomb) to the Queen of Submission.
ONE...
TWO...
TH---NO!!
Laura Jackson barely returned in the nick of time to break the pin. Both of Extreme Juggalos chased the Tattooed Beauty out of the ring, only to receive a double helping of a Hot Shot (Rope-assisted Neckbreaker/Jawbreaker). This left the Extreme Juggalos ripe for the picking as Casey Cortez capitalized on the situation with a Double Reverse DDT on both Ryan Kendrick and the Enigma. Casey then made a hot tag to Laura Jackson while the Enigma tagged out to Ryan Kendrick, opting to pursue the Queen of Submission at ringside as she tried to recuperate.
The Enigma ran across the barricade and flew towards the Queen of Submission with a Running Flying Clothesline, only to be swatted out of the air by Casey's own Clothesline from Hell. After ducking the Tattooed Beauty's incoming Clothesline in the ring, Kendrick opts for a Slingshot Splash out of the ring to assist the Enigma. Unfortunately for the Straight-Edge Juggalo, Casey manages to catch him onto her shoulders and slams him spine-first into the ring apron with an Oklahoma Slam. Casey rolled Kendrick back into the ring and dropped the Straight-Edge Juggalo over her knee with a Backbreaker and held him in position. The Tattooed Beauty followed up with a Diving Leg Drop to complete this Death Sentence-style tag team maneuver.
As Laura went for the pin, Ronda tried to distract the MisFits. Casey confronted her only for Ronda to try to get physical yet again, but this time, Casey caught her fist and served Ronda a hook of her own that laid her out right next to the Enigma at ringside.
ONE...

Zoey Valentine: The Extreme Juggalos have been eliminated.
Veda Scott is shown coming back down the entrance ramp, mocking the Extreme Juggalos holding up a "L" gesture to her forehead as the Enforcers storm the ring.
Prof. X: What are they doing back out here? They already had their chance at the titles.
Francine: I guess they are injecting themselves back into the tag team contest.
The Carter: Uh oh, I'm hearing we've got a situation backstage.
The cameras switch to a splitscreen of the action in the ring and backstage, showing the Mega Busters laid out in their dressing rooms as the Enforcers are taking their places in this match.
The Carter: Is that even legal?
Francine: How about you go in there and tell them that?
G-Money Briggs immediately go straight to business and Irish whips Laura Jackson into the ropes with a Military Press. Casey struck from behind with a Knee Clip that causes G-Money to drop Laura on top of him in an impromptu Cross Body for a pin.
ONE...
TWO...
NO!!!
Dequan notices Casey's meddling and opts to intervene with the Bullet (The Pounce) but Casey pulls the ropes down for him to fly out of the ring and into the waking Extreme Juggalos. G-Money blindly charges in with a Shoulder Charge towards the waking Tattooed Beauty, but impacts into the corner after she moved out of the line of fire. The Tattooed Beauty then positioned herself on the top rope and started the 10 Punch. Laura didn't reach the count of 4 before G-Money countered with a Kneeling Powerbomb Pin from out of the corner.
ONE...
TWO...
WAIT!!
Laura Jackson rolled through out of the pin and into an application of a Modified Boston Crab/Liontamer. Dequan Wallace returns in the nick of time to make the save with a successful Bullet to break the hold. Dequan motions for the Reload (The Pounce) but the Queen of Submission makes the save with a Spinebuster that would make Ron Simmons proud. G-Money tossed Casey out of the ring and hit the ropes. He rebounds with a Jumping Double Axe Handle to waking Laura Jackson. The Tattooed Beauty greeted him with the Splitting Headcase (Jumping Double Knees to the head) to stun the Enforcer before following up with a Super Kick. Somehow, G-Money was still staggering on jelly legs. The Tattooed Beauty lept into his arms and applied the Nightie-Night (Headlock/Body Scissors Combination) submission hold. G-Money drops to his knees in the hold.
Prof. X: If the MisFits make G-Money submit here then they will be the first wrestlers in GZWA who have managed to make either one of the Enforcers submit!
Francine: I don't think it's going to be that easy.
G-Money slowly fought tooth and nail against the Tattooed Beauty's lethal submission hold and charged into the corner with a Big Body Splash to remove this annoyance. Laura Jackson slumps in the corner as Casey Cortez makes blind tag while G-Money Briggs shook off the cobwebs. The Queen of Submission returns to action with a Kane Diving Clothesline to G-Money. G-Money catches her in his arms and drops onto the turnbuckle with a Snake Eyes. With Casey reeling from the blow, G-Money tags out to Dequan. The duo hits Lose/Lose Situation (Sweet & Sour) -successfully this time - and go for the win.
ONE...
TWO...
THRE--NO!!!
The Tattooed Beauty sent G-Money tumbling out of the ring with a Missile Dropkick while Casey moved out of the way of an incoming Shoulder Thrust from Dequan Wallace in the corner. After Dequan's skull bounced off the unforgiving steel corner post, Casey moved him into position as Laura assisted her in executing a Spike Piledriver to the lone Enforcer.
G-Money Briggs opts to stop the pin as he hopped back onto the ring apron, but the Extreme Juggalos sweep G-Money’s feet off the ring apron, causing him to faceplant on the ring apron and prevent him from breaking the pin.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!!
WINNERS: The MisFits ("Tattooed Beauty" Laura Jackson & "Queen of Submission" Casey Cortez; retain).
Prof. X: As much as I hate seeing that the Mega Busters weren't given a fair opportunity to compete in this match tonight, we did get some great tag team action in this match as the MisFits defied the odds and retained the tag team titles.
Francine: The Extreme Juggalos must have a death wish to keep standing in the Enforcers' way.
*** Queen of Queens Tournament - Finals ***
Delta Madison vs. Natasha Rose
Hosted by Sensational Mary
Before the match started, Scary Mary stood in the ring with Delta Madison and Natasha Rose with a microphone in hand.
"Welcome and congratulations for making it to the finals of my Queen of Queens Tournament. You two are truly among the best that the Vixen division has to offer, but not only that, two of the greatest female wrestlers in this sport today. After all of your blood, sweat, and tears, this is the final obstacle that stands in your way before we name GZWA's first ever Queen of Queens."
Mary hugs Natasha, "I didn't doubt for an instant that you would be standing in this ring with me in the finals, bestie. One more win and we can paint the town red with our victory celebration."
Mary strode towards Delta Madison and patted her on the head, "We have a natural Wonder Woman in the house tonight, folks. This is Delta's 3rd match tonight. Aren't you tired? Why not just keel over right now and give a much more deserving individual the win here tonight?"
Natasha shook her head and urged Mary to lay off that merely only garnered a roll of the eyes by Mary before stepping out of the ring.
Mary adds, "One more thing, ladies. May the best woman win."
Despite Mary's attempt at foul play, both Natasha and Delta shake hands at the start of the match out of respect of one another. Natasha Rose urges the crowd to settle down their cheers before the two Vixens start the match with a traditional lock up in the center of the ring. Natasha easily transitions into a side headlock to Delta. Delta elbows Tasha in the gut to loosen her grip before shoving Tasha into the ropes to free herself. Tasha returns with a Clotheslines on the rebound. Natasha Rose then towers over the Lady So Divine's body and poses to mock her.
Francine: I guess that whole act about respecting each other was only a ploy to gain Delta's trust.
Delta applies a with headlock of her own after spinning Tasha around to face her. Much like the Lady So Divine before her, Tasha elbows Delta in the gut repeatedly to counter and sent her into the ropes with an Irish whip. Unfortunately, Tasha was the sent to the canvas as the Lady So Divine returned on the rebound with a Mat Slam. Fueled by adrenaline, the Lady So Divine is fired up on her offense as she struck fast and furious with a series of short clotheslines (a la AJ Lee) to waking Natasha Rose. Soon, Tasha has had enough as she elevates Delta into the air and drops her over her knees in a Gutbuster counter to stop her burst of momentum flat. Tasha follows up with Backbreaker but Delta reverses with Swinging Neckbreaker. Tasha reverses Delta's reversal with a Falling Fireman’s Carry.
Once again, Tasha took the opportunity to mock the Lady So Divine as Mary beamed with pride at ringside. This only acted as a catalyst to reignite her passion to win the crown. Delta sprung back into action with repeated Elbow Smashes to Tasha's face before Delta sent Tasha into the ropes with another Irish whip. Natasha Rose kills Delta's momentum again with a page out of Mary's own playbook, using a Jumping Complete Shot (Beauty Mask, Mary’s finisher) into a seated Stiletto (Surfboard; another Mary signature) hold.
The Carter: Seems like someone has been studying Scary Mary's playbook.
Francine: It's only natural. Natasha and Mary are friends after all. Using each other's moves in a high-profile match like this is a show of respect.
Prof. X: You have to wonder how many 2nd winds does the Lady So Divine has left. The tank has to be running empty at some point, especially with Natasha Rose systematically wearing her down like this.
The Lady So Divine breaks free from the hold with an Inverted Jawbreaker. Delta Madison then rolled up the stunned Natasha Rose with a Small Package.
ONE...
TWO...
T--NO!!
Natasha Rose kicked out of the pin with authority and immediately her mood turned sour. The near-fall was too close for comfort after facing a similar situation earlier tonight. The irate Natasha Rose lashes out with wake-up Lariat to the Lady So Divine before flinging her into the ropes with an Irish whip. Tasha hits the opposite ropes and both Vixens exchange pleasantries in the center of the ring in the form of two simultaneous Sleeperslams.
Both Vixens are laid out cold on the canvas as the referee began a double KO count.

Both Vixens somehow find a way to return to their feet, with the Lady So Divine collapsing onto the nearby ropes for support. Natasha looked to take advantage of Delta's obvious physical exhaustion, but she's met with a knee lift by the Lady so Divine. Delta reeled her in by the hair and delivered several knees to Tasha's face before dropping her to the canvas with the Deli Choice (TKO). Once again, Delta went for the cover.
ONE...
TWO...
TH--NO!!
The ever-defiant Natasha Rose kicks out and refuses to lose here. The battle weary Delta dragged Tasha to her feet and delivered a Snap Suplex and follows up with a DeltaSault (Moonsault from 2nd rope). Mary shook the ropes, causing the Lady So Divine to collapse on the turnbuckle and allowing Tasha to take control with a top rope Fallaway Slam.
Prof. X: That has to be it there. Delta looks spent here.
Francine: Delta Airlines are running on empty.
She blew a kiss of thanks to her bestie standing on the ring apron as she lined up the Reality Check (Botox Injection/Bicycle Kick) to the slowly waking Lady So Divine. Tasha went for the kill but Delta collapsed back to the mat out of sheer exhaustion. This causes Tasha to miss her mark and inadvertantly knocks Mary off of ring apron. Natasha Rose is emotionally caught up trying to apologize for her accident to bestie that allows Delta Madison to roll her up with a Sunset Flip pin.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!!
Zoey Valentine: Your winner of the first ever GZWA Queen of Queens Tournament is Delta Madison!!
Scary Mary and Natasha Rose are left arguing at ringside as Amiee Vaughan and Endee Leights help Delta to her feet and celebrate the win with the Lady So Divine.
Prof. X: The Lady So Divine ran the gauntlet tonight and came out the Queen of Queens. I guess Mary's too caught up in her argument with her best friend to congratulate Delta personally.
Francine: I doubt they are going to be "besties" after tonight.
The Carter: Is there any way that I can join the ladies for the festivities?
Francine: No, you have a job to finish. If I have to endure the rest of the show next to you then you sure as hell are going to sit here and continue suffering with me.
The Carter: Suffering? I'm never suffering next to you!
Francine: Try to touch me again and I'll gladly introduce you to that concept.
*** GZWA Vixen's Championship Match ***
"The Ultimate Vixen" Raven (c) vs. "Showstoppin' Senorita" Mariah
Prof. X: This is the moment that many Vixen fans have been waiting for. Raven and Mariah have known each other for well over the past decade and have found a way to be at odds end one way or another. Things reached their boiling point where things got personal between these two women as the championship gold is on the line, along with these Vixens' contrasting beliefs.
Francine: It's hard to pick a favorite here. Mariah is the "mother" of the Vixen division - being one of the three women who started this division here in GZWA. She's been here since Day 1 and has always strived for the best. Raven, on the other hand, has resorted to "by any means necessary" tactics to keep the title after dethroning GZWA's longest-reigning champion in history, Mei Long, and doing everything in her power to keep the Vixen Championship. With the Clique surrounding her and Raven's willingness to do anything to win, you can't count the champion out here.
The Carter: True, but Mariah is the leader of the Queen Bee Mafia for a reason. One would be foolish to doubt her determination to win.
Prof. X: Great points there, partners. Either way you slice it, this is going to be one great finale to the amazing line-up of women's wrestling on tonight's card.
Mariah is the first Vixen to arrive to the ring as she hits the ropes briefly to warm-up in anticipation of this match. Raven taking her time to walk to the ring, parading around to the crowd instead of entering the ring. Mariah doesn't wait for Raven's antics to end and promptly interrupts her selfies with fans with a Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music) to start this match off. Raven is left out cold on the ringside floor.
Prof. X: Looks like we might be in store for a quickie here, folks.
Mariah grabs Raven by the hair and rolls her into the ring. Mariah rips out one of Raven's hair extensions in the process and discards it to the floor with disgust. She covers Raven.
ONE...
TWO...
THRE---NO!!!
The Carter: I can't BEWEAVE it.
Francine: Like Serena said, Raven's weave is brought to you by the finest horse on this side of the Atlantic.
Prof. X: I think even Raven's heart skipped a beat there. A mere millisecond away and we would've had a new Vixen Champion...
Mariah didn't lose focus as she stalked Raven for another pending Heartbreaker as the Ultimate Vixen slowly rose from the canvas. As the Showstoppin' Senorita closed in, Raven wisely rolled out of ring to avoid the kick. Mariah pursued her prey as Raven picked up the Vixen Championship from the floor and headed up the entrance ramp. The crowd boos loudly as Raven waved good-bye to Mariah as the referee began the ring out count.
Serena Dent stood at the top of the entrance ramp, blocking Raven's advance.
Serena Dent: "Apparently, you didn't read the fine print in the contract that you both signed on Primetime. Tonight's Vixen Championship Match MUST be decided by either pinfall or submission. The title WILL change hands via result of a count-out."
Raven's eyes widen like a deer in headlights before she shouts, "YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!!"
Serena smirks, "I suggest you don't waste your time arguing with me as you don't have much time left if you wish to continue being the champion. One more thing, Raven... That weave... Those are not split ends, those are divorced ends."
Mariah stood beckoning Raven back to the ring as the referee was up to the count of 7. Raven panics and immediately sprints back down the ramp. She slid back into the ring, narrowly avoiding the 10 count, but not the 2nd Heartbreaker from the Showstoppin' Senorita. Raven falls out of the ring again to avoid the pin attempt.
Mariah reached over the top rope to drag Raven back into the ring, but the Ultimate Vixen hopped off the ring apron with a rope-assisted Neckbreaker to stun the Showstoppin' Senorita long enough to turn things around with a Loose Rap (Sitout Gourdbuster). With the momentum turning into her favor, Raven struck with a Sitout Diving Clothesline to the waking Showstoppin' Senorita. Raven stomps Mariah's knees repeatedly before applying the Discipline (Kneeling Inverted Sharpshooter).
Prof. X: Raven's definitely turned this match around into her favor.
Francine: I guess that shot in the ass from our sassy commissioner was exactly what the doctor ordered.
The Carter: ......
Francine: Don't you dare say it, Carter.
Prof. X: Mariah's definitely in a compromising position here.
Mariah tries to roll her hips to kick Raven away to break the hold but the Ultimate Vixen maintains her grip. The Showstoppin' Senorita then pushed herself off the canvas and into Raven's arms. Mariah headbutts Raven on the bridge of her nose before breaking free with a Sweetest Day (Scotty 2 Hotty Facebuster).
Now that she's back in the driver's seat in terms of momentum in this match, Mariah hit the ropes and rebound with a John Woo (Running Front Dropkick into the corner). Raven's spine whiplashes against the corner post and leaves her slumped in the corner. Mariah follows up with a Handspring Roundhouse Kick (Low-Ki's Tidal Crash) into the corner, but Raven isn't out of this game yet as she responds with an Exploder Suplex. With the Showstoppin' Senorita hung in a tree of woe position after being flung into the turnbuckle, the Ultimate Vixen shows no mercy as she delivered the Upgrade (Turnbuckle Dropkick/Hardyac Arrest) to Mariah's face. Raven doesn't stop there - she yanked Mariah out of the tree of woe with the Revolver (Cobra Clutch Backbreaker) that garners an audible gasp of pain from the Showstoppin' Senorita.
Prof. X: Raven is fully aware of Mariah's surgically repaired spine and systematically targetting that area to put her out of commission.
Francine: More like trying to cripple her for good from the way how I see it.
Raven goes for a cover.
ONE...
TWO...
TH--NO!!
Raven shook her head and struck with a Running Knee Strike to the face to the waking Showstoppin' Senorita. Mariah sprung up with a Blue Thunder Bomb to counter with Raven's shoulders to the canvas.
ONE...
TWO...
WAIT!!
Raven reverses their positions while holding onto the nearby ropes.
ONE...
TWO...
THRE--WAIT!!
The referee stops the count as she notices Raven's hands on the ropes trying to leverage the pin. Raven argues the count with the referee as Mariah kips back to her feet. The unsuspecting Raven turned around into the pending Heartbreaker by the Showstoppin' Senorita. Raven manages to avoid the blow with a last second Raetrix (MaTrish) evasion. Raven hurled Mariah back into the corner with an Irish whip before following up with a Dropsault into the corner. After impact, Raven lands on her feet like a nimble cat before elevating Mariah on top of the turnbuckle. Raven serves the Showstoppin' Senorita an Overdose (Stratusphere), but Mariah lands on her feet just like Raven mere moments ago. Mariah spun around with a Heartbreaker once again. This time, her kick hits it's mark with Raven falling through the ropes after the impact.
The Carter: It looks like Mariah's in the mood for a Super Kick Party tonight.
Francine: We're up to the 3 out of 4 Heartbreakers hitting their target tonight. If this keeps up, I doubt Raven's going to be able to take many more of those.
Prof. X: To the champion's credit, Raven is wise to keep escaping the ring afterwards. This gives her time to recover while Mariah has to waste time bringing her back into the ring.
Mariah watched her prey from the ring apron as Raven crawled on all-fours at ringside. Mariah sprinted across the ring apron before diving off with an Apron Dive Cannonball Senton. Raven moved out of the way, causing Mariah to impact into the steel steps.
Prof. X cringes, "That definitely had to hurt..."
Raven pulls herself back up with the ring apron and grins from ear to ear at Mariah's predicament. Her devilish intentions are revealed as she places Mariah on the chopping board - literally with a Hair-pull Curb Stomp on the steel steps. Raven left Mariah's limp body at ringside while she rolled back into the ring.
The Carter: I don't want to see Mariah lose like this but I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to call the EMTs after taking a blow like that to the head.
Francine: For once, I think Carter's right. She's not getting up after a hit like that.
The ring out count began as Raven took a formal bow among the deafening boos of the live audience.

Mariah manages to crawl into the ring just before the count of 10.
Prof. X: Mariah's made it back to the ring, but is she in any condition to continue this match? That's the real question here.
The Ultimate Vixen surprises the masses with a sarcastic applause for Mariah's efforts thus far. Raven kindly helps Mariah back to her feet and dusts her off. As usual, this is only a ploy as Raven drops Mariah right back to the canvas with a Half Nelson Facebuster. Raven then took to the corner and started mocking Mariah's stomping mannerisms for the Heartbreaker. Mariah began to stir and slowly returned to her feet as Raven loomed closer to deliver the finish.
Mariah staggered to her feet and turned to face Raven...
BOTH Vixens dropped to the canvas after simultaneously hitting each other with the Bitch Kick (Chick Kick) and Heartbreaker (Sweet Chin Music) at the same time.

Amber Torres distracts the referee from continuing the count further until Morgan Davis pulls her off ring apron by the hair. Mandisa Carter makes the save with a Running Yakuza Kick and opts for a Divamolisher (Omega Driver) to the Georgia Peach at ringside. To the surprise of the GZWA Nation, Tia Brooks comes to the aid of her fellow Queen Bees with a Blindside Kick (French TKO) to stun Miss Murda temporarily. That was long enough for Morgan to follow through with a #SitYourAssDown (Leg Drop Bulldog).

Both women manage to garner some type of vertical base as they returned to their feet on shaky legs before the double KO count of 10.
Amber Torres latches on Tia Brooks' back with a Sleeper Hold but the Straight-Edge Vixen hoists her onto her shoulders for the T.I.A. (Inverted Go To Sleep) on Amber. The feisty Latina dropped behind Tia and shoved Tia face-first into ring post to counter. Amber then opts to intervene with this match by standing on the ring apron in hopes to distract the referee once again. Once again, Morgan Davis hops on ring apron to stop Amber only to receive Bitch Kick (Chick Kick) from the Ultimate Vixen. The Georgia Peach delivers rolling variation of Magic City (Sitout Powerbomb) as she’s falling off the ring apron to Amber to take her out of the equation.
All of the members of the Clique and Queen Bee Mafia are down and out at ringside surrounding the ring, leaving Mariah and Raven to settle the score between themselves. Both Vixens brawl it out with both women using closed fists on the other but neither Vixen refuses to give up the ghost. Raven lunged in with another punch, bringing the Showstoppin' Senorita down to her knees from the blow. Raven grabbed her head in a side headlock and motioned for the High Price (Edgecution), but Mariah spun out of the maneuver and countered with a Vision of Love (Testdrive). Mariah then climbed up to the top rope and motioned for Diving 450 Splash, only for Raven to rake her in the eyes out of desperation. Raven joined Mariah on the top rope, reeling in her blinded foe for a top rope variation of the High Price. Both Vixens crash down from the top rope, with Raven taking the full extent of the punishment as Mariah countered with the Queendom (Ki Crusher) during their descent down to the ring. With the Ultimate Vixen on the canvas, Mariah applied the Dragon Clutch and held onto dear life.
Raven squirmed around wildly but didn't have anywhere to go. Mariah had her trapped in the center of the ring. Her allies were still down and out scattered at ringside. Raven had to face facts, she was out of options. The pain was too much and reluctantly succumbed to the pain as she tapped out to Showstoppin' Senorita.
Zoey Valentine: Your winner and NEW GZWA Vixen Champion, Mariah!
Prof. X: I thought we wouldn't see this day come to a reality. Mariah faced roadblock after roadblock in her fabled career, but tonight at Devils May Cry, she has finally reached the promised land and became a champion.
Francine: Take notes, ladies and gentlemen. Hard work pays off.
The Carter: A brilliant performance from all of our Vixens tonight, but is this truly the end of the bitter rivalry between the Clique and Queen Bee Mafia?
Mariah sat on her knees after the match, suspended in disbelief. She buried her face in the coveted title as the audience went silent as Amber Torres joined her in the ring. Amber helps her sister to her feet and raises Mariah’s arm. Mariah narrowed her eyes at Amber before laying her out with a Heartbreaker to the delight of the crowd to leave her out cold next to Raven on the canvas.
The Carter: To be fair, Mariah did say that she was going to give Amber some tough love.
Francine: Hmph... After all that her and Raven put Mariah through, I say she got off easy.
*** GZWA Television Championship Match ***
"The Next Level" Mike Bradley (c) vs. "The Architect" Chris Matthews
Prof. X: This highly anticipated match has the GZWA Television title up for grabs as Mike Bradley defends his title against the former Navy Seal, Chris Matthews.
Francine: I think Mike Bradley and the rest of the GZWA Nation are still in shock that this contest doesn't involve Jaser Cruz.
The Carter: I think we were all shocked to see Chris Matthews upset Jaser Cruz - literally and figuratively - in that #1 contender match on Primetime.
Francine: I think that's a warning to the entire GZWA locker room that anyone can take your spot if you're caught slipping.
Prof. X: Both of these Superstars have noble motivations in this match. Mike Bradley wants to continue to prove his critics wrong while Chris Matthews wants to defend Amanda Cortez's honor while simultaneously dedicating this match to his fallen comrade, Ryan Reigns.
Before the bell could ring signaling the beginning of the match "Walk" by Avenged Sevenfold blasted through the PA system. The crowd booed rapidly as Serena Dent, the GZWA Commisioner, walked from behind the titantron and looked at all of the people in attendance. Grinning, she lifted the microphone up closer and spoke out, while lifting her arm up in the air motioning to "Stop".
Hold it, hold it, hold it... Before starting this ever so exciting championship match, I have to address a very important matter regarding our very own jewel in the company's crown, Mike Bradley. Yes, you starshine.
The crowd cheered hearing the champion's name mentioned as Serena looked straight out into the ring.
Believe it or not, I do take my work very seriously. Even more serious is my love and dedication to Ground Zero Wrestling Association, which is my 2nd family and my 2nd home. Combine that with my perfectionist personality and love for emotional torment. You know what you get? This statement: Mike, puddin', fire your writers, because all of the accomplishments you keep adding to your resume are pure and utter bollocks.
With a mixture of cheers and boos filling the air, Serena started pacing around the stage.
Believe it or not, I actually do watch the promos you put out and now more than once I keep hearing how you are the longest reigning champion and you ended the career of our ticklish Muppet, Amanda Cortez. Roll the clip.
First I end Amanda Cortez’s career, then Jaser Cruz steals my title...
That’s why I’m GZWA Television Champion now, and that’s why I’m the longest reigning Television Champion of all time, both by individual and combined reigns!"
That’s why I’m GZWA Television Champion now, and that’s why I’m the longest reigning Television Champion of all time, both by individual and combined reigns!"
Lovely achievements, yet some of them as real as Raven's luscious head of hair that came from the finest horse this side of the Atlantic has to offer. I did hope that I might find a fault in your mathematical skills and that Genesis still maintained the title of the longest reigning champion. Yet, sadly, you are correct... I feel so filthy after saying that. It is true, Mike Bradley is currently the longest reigning Television Champion. Hopefully, not for long and if I would believe in God I would probably pray for Chris to pin your ass down on that mat. The only reason you still have that belt around your waist and scream that you're a champ from the top of a barrel is because Jaser Cruz is better at taking selfies than he is at fighting.
The Commissioner grins at a frustrated Mike and notices a faint smile from "The Architect" Chris Matthews.
But, there is something I have to make clear... The second achievement you like to boast about as the highlight of your career is the untimely retirement of Amanda Cortez. More than on one occasion did we hear you taking all of the credit for this miracle. I can please have that spectacular buzzer sound like from a game show? No? Not now? Never mind then. Nonetheless, what you claim is false. We can agree that you did injure Amanda at your championship match at Dead or Alive. That is a fact and nobody is saying otherwise. But, Amanda's career in professional wrestling came to an end after a vicious attack on her injured leg during a taping of Primetime, where our Goddess of War was attacked by her closest allies, her sister Casey and her ex-lover Laura Jackson, known better now as the always slacking Tag Team champs, before a scheduled match against Ashley Wonder. Right after the doctors didn't give her medical clearance to perform and her contract with the company came to an end.
Audience reactions slightly changed as now Mike was starting to get booed off and Serena received cheers from the fans in attendance.
So you see now, sunshine, lying works only if you are surrounded by morons. Too bad that Xion hires people with an IQ in the triple digits. Oh well, you tried and failed. The moral is - never try. Lets just hope that tonight is my lucky night and our American Sniper will hit his target right between the eyes. Ref, you may ring the bell... THE MATCH STARTS NOW!
With Serena leaving the stage, the ref calls for the bell as the match officially starts.
Both Superstars stare down before locking up. Mike applies of a Front Facelock before transitioning into Leg Drop Bulldog (Brookline Bridge). The Next Level shows off a little with a Spinning Handstand Leg Drop, but the Architect moves out of the way and applies a Single Leg Boston Crab to counter. Mike Bradley makes a break to reach for the ropes but Chris Matthews denies access to that means of escape of this hold as he dragged Mike back to the center of the ring. Mike wasn't out of tricks as he rolled his hips and freed himself with an Enzuigiri with his free leg. Mike returned to his feet and flung Chris Matthews to the mat with the first half of the End of Days with a Deep Arm Drag and charged in to follow up with a Shining Wizard. The Architect caught the Next Level onto his shoulders and threw him into the corner with a Turnbuckle Powerbomb. After Mike's spine hit the corner and he fell face-first onto the canvas, Chris quickly closed the gap between them as he sought out to win this match early with the Piece of Mind (Jumping Curb Stomp). Mike quickly sprung back to his feet and met Chris with the Final Boss (Moonsault Side Slam), taking complete control of the Architect's momentum. The Next Level goes for the pin.

Francine: Close but no cigar.
Mike wasn't detered from his goal to win and lined up the Brookline Bridge (Spear) to the waking Architect. Chris Matthews leapfrogs over it and dropkicks Mike into the corner from behind. After Mike's head bounces off the turnbuckle padding, Matthews continues to control this turnabout in momentum with the first in a series of multiple Rolling Vertical Suplexes on the rebound. Chris Matthews executes the Rolling Vertical Suplex again and again before Mike Bradley halted his offense with a Jumping DDT to stop this series flat and drill Chris to the canvas. The Next Level then climbed the top rope before taking flight with the Hang 20 (Corkscrew Moonsault). Unfortunately, Mike misses his mark as Chris Matthews rolled out onto ring apron to avoid the impact.
The Architect returns back into the ring with a Springboard Clothesline. Mike is there to greet with a Spinebuster and transitions into a Sharpshooter upon impact.
Prof. X: That's the same resourcefulness of the Next Level that saw him regain the title from Amanda Cortez in their submission match at Dead or Alive.
Francine: One would be wise to respect the technical prowess of Mike Bradley, but I'd be lying if I said I was a fan of the guy.
The Carter: But you don't like anyone, Franny!
Francine: Oh you got jokes, now, Carter? It must be pretty cold down there in hell.
Much like how the Architect did to the Next Level earlier in this match, Mike dragged the fleeing Chris Matthews away from the ropes to avoid any possible ropebreak. The former Navy Seal takes a trick out of Mike's playbook and rolls his hips and Chris kicks Mike out onto ring apron to free himself from the hold. Mike catches himself mid-fall and lands on the ring apron. Chris Matthews shook off the cobwebs and pursued his prey. Mike tried to slow Matthews down with a Shoulder thrust, but Matthews struck him in the face with a well-placed knee lift before joining the Next Level on the ring apron. The Architect executed the reeling Mike Bradley with a Brainbuster DDT on the ring apron. Chris Matthews confidently dusts his hands off before rolling the Next Level back into the ring.
Francine: Stick a fork in him, Bradley's done.
Prof. X: Don't count the Next Level out yet. We've seen him manage to endure more punishment than this.
The Architect struck with the Avada Kedavra (Super Kick to kneeling/seated opponent) as Mike tried to sit up from the canvas, showing signs of life. The Next Level caught Matthews' foot in motion and dropped the Architect to the mat with a Dragon Screw right into the Boston Strangler (Rear Naked Choke) right in the middle of the ring.
The Carter: Chris Matthews has nowhere to go! What is he going to do?
Prof. X: He has to submit if he wants to avoid any possible injury.
Francine: That's the same harsh reality that Raven had to face tonight.
The referee checks Matthews for any signs of life as the young Superstar refuses to give up in the hold but he has stopped moving. The referee raised Chris' arm to no response and repeated the measure again for the same result. Once again, the referee raised Matthews' arm, knowing that if Matthews didn't respond here, Mike would retain after decreeing that Matthews was unable to continue after losing consciousness in the hold. However this was not the case here as the former Navy Seal held his arm up in protest to resist against the hold.
He tucked and rolled back to his feet with Mike still latched onto his spine and valiantly climbed the turnbuckle. The Next Level tried to lean the Architect back to the mat by leveraging his weight but that tactic only caused Mike to lose his grip and fall back to the canvas. Looking over his shoulder at the waking Next Level, Matthews sprung from the top rope with an Inverted Frankensteiner to plant Mike's skull into the mat again before hitting the ropes and rebounding with the Piece of Mind (Jumping Curb Stomp). Chris Matthews went for the cover.

Zoey Valentine: Your winner and NEW GZWA Television Champion, Chris Matthews!!"
Prof. X: I have to admit that was a valiant effort by both Superstars. It could have easily gone either way.
Francine: I have to say I was impressed here by both of these guys. The TV title definitely brings out the best in the GZWA roster.
The Carter: That's for damn sure. I'm sure Ryan Reigns would be proud of his comrade tonight.
*** Hell In A Cell Match for the GZWA World Heavyweight Championship ***
"The Hardcore Monster" Carnage (c) vs. "The Emo Warrior" Jimmy Jacobs
Prof. X: Well, it’s finally that time for tonight’s main event as reigning GZWA World Heavyweight Champion Carnage defends his title against the challenger, Jimmy Jacobs, inside the confines of Hell in a Cell. At our last event, Jimmy Jacobs was the one who entered the Elimination Chamber as the champion but lost the title to Carnage. After besting CM Punk for the coveted #1 Contender spot, the Emo Warrior is a man on a mission to reclaim what is his.
Francine: Wise choice of Jacobs to select a Hell in a Cell match. It prevents any outside interference from the Authority or anyone else who would try to tamper with the outcome of this match.
The Carter: It’s not like Carnage needs help dealing with anyone in the first place… I’m still having nightmare about what he did to Shawn Rodriguez on the last Primetime!
The Emo Warrior stood in the ring as Carnage was the last competitor to enter the horrifying structure. Carnage slams door shut behind him upon arrival while the ringside crew promptly lock and secure the door.
After the opening bell, Carnage cautiously follows Jimmy Jacobs around the ring as he maneuvers around him hastily looking to make the first move. Carnage’s impatience gets the best of him and makes the first move with a Running Lariat as Jimmy Jacobs moves out of the way. The Emo Warrior capitalized with a series of jabs in the corner. Carnage breaks through Jacobs’ offense with a Elbow Smash to the face before Irish whipping him out of corner and into the ropes. Jacobs returns from the rebound into the pending Big Boot from the Hardcore Monster.
Carnage has only begun toying with Jacobs as he tosses him over the ropes to ringside. The Hardcore Monster then lifts Jimmy Jacobs onto his shoulders and smashes him spine-first into the side of the Cell. As Jacobs writhed in pain, Carnage delivered multiple repeating headbutts to Jacobs before smashing the Emo Warrior’s face onto the cell. Carnage continued to grind Jimmy Jacobs’ face against the steel fencing. Carnage ended his physical abuse to Jacobs’ face and found a new muse for his boredom by tossing the Emo Warrior into the steel steps. Jimmy Jacobs hits the steps so hard that it unhinges them upon impact.
Carnage dragged Jimmy Jacobs back to his feet by the hair and rolled him back into the ring. Jimmy Jacobs’ torso hung out on the ring apron as Carnage got a sinister idea as a wicked grin washed over his face. Showing shades of the Undertaker himself, Carnage delivered a Jumping Leg Drop over Jacobs’ throat on the ring apron. With Jacobs out of it in the ring, Carnage took the time to toss the steel steps into the ring.
The cameras switch over to a shot of the members of the Authority watching backstage on the flatscreen monitor in the GZWA Chairman’s office.
Prof. X: I’m sure the Authority are watching this match with great interest as Carnage holds a lot of their personal interests in this match. If Carnage loses tonight, then the Authority loses a heavy stake of power in the championship landscape of GZWA.
Francine: That’s a pretty big if, there, professor.
The Carter: I gotta admit, Jacobs has been looking like Carnage’s personal punching bag out there so far.
Carnage leans the steel steps into corner and tosses Jacobs into the corner like javelin. Carnage repeats this gesture again. As Jacobs’ body slumped against the steel steps in the corner, Carnage hit the ropes and returned with a Running Flying Shoulder Block but misses, impacting steel instead. The Emo Warrior capitalizes the Hardcore Monster’s mistake with a Spear into the steel steps in corner.
Prof. X: That was definitely the opening that Jacobs needed to start turning this match around into his favor.
Jacobs took the opportunity to set up and stack two tables set up at ringside. He stood on the ring apron and tried to return back into the ring, but Carnage reached over the ropes with his hand around the Emo Warrior’s neck for a Chokeslam. Jimmy Jacobs counters with a rope-assisted Jawbreaker and reaches underneath the ring. Once armed with a steel chair, Jacobs hammers the foreign object over the Hardcore Monster’s skull to keep him reeling. Jacobs sets up another table in the ring before spinning around and decking Carnage with the steel chair again to leave the Hardcore Monster down on the canvas. As Carnage began to stir, Jacobs took the time to bring a ladder into the ring and set it up.
The Carter: A ladder? I guess Jacobs didn’t get the memo about this not being a TLC match.
Francine: Anything goes within the confines of Hell in a Cell, Carter.
The Emo Warrior’s devilish intentions were soon revealed as he rolled Carnage onto the table that he setup earlier. Jacobs then ascended the ladder and delivered a Diving Elbow Drop with steel chair underneath his arm. Jacobs goes for the cover.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!!
Prof. X: Any lesser man would have given up a long time ago.
Carnage tosses Jacobs across the ring as he powers out of the pin attempt. Jacobs rolls out onto the ring apron and motions for a Springboard Clothesline (showing shades of CM Punk) back into the ring towards the waking Carnage, but Carnage surprises Jacobs with his quick recovery by knocking him off the ring apron with a Running Shoulder Block that knocks the Emo Warrior into the cell wall behind him.
Carnage then arms himself with the other half of the steel steps from earlier and uses them like a battering ram, smashing it directly into the skull of the waking Emo Warrior. Jimmy Jacobs’ induction into the Hall of Pain continues as Carnage hoists him onto his shoulders in an Oklahoma Slam position and charges straight for the cell wall. Jacobs slides behind Carnages and shoves him face-first into the corner post to narrowly avoid further possible punishment from the Hardcore Monster - at least for now. With Carnage reeling, Jacobs uses dropped steel steps to launch himself into the air with a Flying Spear that knocks both men through the Cell wall.
As both men laid out cold on what remained of the steel fencing, the crowd echoed chants of “HOLY SHIT!” throughout the arena.
Francine: I think that was the closest thing to Jacobs using a gun on Carnage to try to win this match.
Prof. X: What Jacobs is willing to do shows how much he wants the championship to go home with him.
The Carter: He must be pretty lonely… No Amanda Cortez, no Lacey, not even Paige is around keep him company. Sounds like he has a worse track record than me with the ladies!
Francine: Please, that’s impossible.
Both Superstars began to stir and return to their feet in front of the commentary table as the Emo Warrior tried to drag the Hardcore Monster back to his feet but to no avail. Carnage sent Jimmy Jacobs into the ringside barricade with a powerful Irish whip. As Carnage loomed near, Jimmy Jacobs hammered Carnage with monitor from commentary table and rolls Carnage onto the commentary table. The commentary team moves out of the way as Jimmy Jacobs sprints across the cell wall leaning against the table like a bridge and spears the waking Carnage into the front row of the live crowd.
The Carter: This is pure insanity!!
Francine: These boys would’ve fit right at home with the rest of us crazy kids in the original ECW.
Prof. X: Remember pinfalls must be made IN THE RING, so Jacobs has to find some way to get the Hardcore Monster back into the ring if he wants to win this thing.
Jimmy Jacobs stands over Carnage’s fallen body as the GZWA Nation is firmly behind him, cheering him on towards victory. Carnage began to stir and slowly crawled out the wreckage and back towards the ring. Jacobs pursued his prey and smashed his skull repeatedly against the side of the cell. He took the time to carefully smear Carnage’s face into the steel fencing, much like how Carnage did in the early part of this match. Jacobs rolled Carnage back into the ring and took to the corner as he stalked the waking Carnage with the Spear once again. The Hardcore Monster responds with a Black Hole Slam in an act of desperation and makes the cover.
ONE…
TWO…
TH--NO!!!
Francine: Jimmy Jacobs is digging deep here. I don’t know where he’s getting this second wind from.
After giving a cut throat motion, Carnage goes for the Total Annihilation (Elgin Bomb). Jimmy Jacobs played his desperation card in the form of a Low Blow. With the Hardcore Monster doubled over in pain, the Emo Warrior capitalizes with the Contra Code (Shiranui), dropping Carnage onto the steel steps. Jacobs covers Carnage.
ONE…
TWO…
TH--NO!!
Jimmy Jacobs’ frustration grows as he beckons the Hardcore Monster to his feet after pounding the steel chair into the canvas in anticipation. Carnage stops the incoming chair shot with a Big Boot that knocks the chair out of the Emo Warrior’s hand. With Jacobs’ reeling, Carnage turned the tables with a Release Powerbomb directed towards the stacked tables setup at ringside. Jimmy Jacobs slides off of Carnage’s shoulders, drops behind the Hardcore Monster, and hits the ropes. Carnage spun around to experience yet another Spear from Jacobs first-hand after Jacobs rebound from the ropes. Jimmy Jacobs counts along with the referee.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE---NO!!!
Jimmy Jacobs is livid as he throws a tantrum on the mat after the near-fall.
Francine: Maybe I was wrong… Jimmy might actually need a gun to put Carnage away here tonight.
Jimmy Jacobs removes a steel pike from inside his boot, but doesn’t stop there as he pulls out two more from his other boot.
Prof. X: Looks like Jimmy Jacobs is going into a dark place tonight. He’s hearing the voices speak to him…
Francine: I believe you have him mixed up with Randy Orton, professor.
Prof. X: Maybe so, but times like these you have to be your own best friend in that ring in a match like this.
The Carter: Yeah, especially when going up against the Hardcore Monster.
Jimmy Jacobs slides the three pikes between the gaps between his fingers – imitating Wolverine’s adamantium claws – and began punching the forehead of the Hardcore Monster as he sat on his chest. It doesn’t take long before Carnage’s face is covered with a crimson mask as Jacobs took the time to lick his pikes clean before dragging Carnage towards the corner. Given their size difference, it takes a bit of effort to move the extra weight of the Hardcore Monster. The Emo Warrior took a moment to catch his breath as he sat on top of the turnbuckle before motioning for a Tornado DDT. That proves to be a fatal mistake as Carnage uses this golden opportunity to retaliate with a throat thrust. Jacobs is reeling on the top rope but Carnage is there to stamp his ticket for his flight plans with a Two Handed Choke Toss that sends Jimmy Jacobs crashing through tables at ringside.
The Carter: The longer this match goes on, the more it reminds me of a comic book.
Prof. X: Which one? Wolverine vs. The Hulk?
Francine: That’s a dead ringer for this match if Carnage rips Jimmy Jacobs in half and leaves both halves in different ends of the arena…
As the live crowd resumes their chants of “HOLY SHIT” that echo throughout the arena, Carnage rolls the battle weary Jacobs back into the ring and stalks his prey.
Prof. X: No, it can’t be… He can’t be going for what I think he is…
The Emo Warrior staggers to his feet to experience a Spear from Carnage. Carnage covers Jimmy Jacobs.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE—NO!!
Francine: Someone explain to me how is he still alive and willing to continue?
Prof. X: I don’t know what to tell you other than that’s how bad he wants the GZWA World Heavyweight Championship back in his possession.
Carnage grabbed Referee Earl Hebner by the throat after arguing the near-fall. Before he could chokeslam the official to the mat, Jimmy Jacobs makes the save with chair-assisted Knee Clip to Carnage. After Carnage drops down to one knee, Hebner makes his escape while the Emo Warrior continued to strike the Hardcore Monster repeatedly with the steel chair. Carnage topples to the canvas like a tree being cut down. Jimmy Jacobs doesn’t stop here as he surprises the masses by exiting the ring briefly only to search underneath the ring for something more. Jacobs tosses another chair into the ring, followed by another and another until the Hardcore Monster is buried underneath a pile of steel chairs.
The Carter: I guess that’s Jimmy Jacobs’ way of telling Carnage to have “several seats” or however that saying goes…
The Emo Warrior adds to the insanity with a Diving Senton from the top rope. Jimmy Jacobs writhes in pain after the impact as Carnage remains buried underneath the pile of steel chairs.
Prof. X: C’mon kid! Win this thing! Now’s your chance!
Francine: Jacobs is too hurt to capitalize with a pin.
The Carter: This is surreal to see how far that he’s willing to go to win here.
Jimmy Jacobs dragged himself back to his feet in the corner, using the ropes for support and beckoned Carnage back to his feet for the kill with (hopefully) the final Spear. Somehow, someway, the Hardcore Monster slowly rose from the underneath the ashes. Jimmy Jacobs closed in with a bold charge towards Carnage with the Spear, but Carnage responds with strong elbow shot to the face (think Wade Barrett’s Bullhammer) before reeling him back in by the wrist for the Buckle Bomb (Running Release Powerbomb into the corner). After Jimmy Jacobs’ spine bounces off the corner post upon impact, Carnage wastes no time following suit with the Total Annihilation (Spinning Sitout Powerbomb/Michael Elgin Combination after Buckle Bomb). Carnage pins Jimmy Jacobs with his shoulders secured to the mat upon impact as a reluctant Referee Earl Hebner makes the count.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
WINNER: “The Hardcore Monster” Carnage (retains).
Prof. X: There you have it, folks. Jimmy Jacobs gave it his all, but in the end, Carnage endured everything that the Emo Warrior threw at him and hit harder to retain the GZWA World Heavyweight Championship.
Francine: Just look at the chaos in and out of this ring. Jimmy Jacobs put up one hell of a fight here tonight. Carnage can’t deny that he had to fight to keep that title tonight.
The Carter: That’s for damn sure, Franny.
Prof. X: That’s all we have time for tonight, GZWA fans. Thank you for joining us for Devils May Cry. Stay tuned for ReAction as we cover the fallout from tonight’s broadcast.
