Official GZWA Primetime Theme: I Want It All / We Will Rock You [Mash-Up] - Queen (feat. Armageddon)
Recorded Date: December 18, 2015
Air Date: January 4, 2016
Tonight’s broadcast opens with the Showstoppin’ Senorita stopping the Glam Star in the corridor earlier this evening. Brooklyn turns to her daughter Tiana and the young woman accompanying them.
Brooklyn Glamorous | Glam Star: “Honey, go with Auntie Celeste for a while. Mom has to go take care of some business.”
Celeste Zeros| Xion Zeros' Younger Sister: “Don’t worry, Brooklyn. Tiana and I know our way around the arena. We won’t get into any trouble.” She looked over to Mariah leaning against the wall and adds, “Marisol, go easy on her, OK? I know things haven’t been well between our families for quite some time. Let’s just keep things civil for Xion’s sake.”
Brooklyn smiles as she watched them leave and folds her arms in response to Mariah looming closer.
“So is this the part where you threaten me and promise some sick form of retribution?”
Mariah shook her head and sighs, “No… I’ve had some time to think about what you said and what you did. I’ve come to a revelation - you were absolutely right.”
Brooklyn claps, “Bravo. The last horse finally crosses the finish line.”
Mariah tilted her head in annoyance before continuing, “But… that doesn’t mean that I’m going to turn into a manipulative, self-absorbed monster. GZWA seems to have an abundance of those personalities floating around this madhouse. While I appreciate the advice, I have to know something else… why help me? Anyone else in that locker room would kill for the opportunity to relieve me of this title and seeing how we haven’t been exactly on the best of terms since our last ‘chat’ I didn’t expect you to be so... civil.”
Brooklyn merely shrugged, “Sometimes I’m with Xion and I absolutely forget about our hate-filled history together and everything it took to get back to this stability, this peace between us. Then there’s other moments when I’m watching other women in this company scratch and claw to the top, willing to do anything and everything it takes to win or to get an ounce of respect from anyone in this world and I’m reminded of exactly how I used to be - no, what I STILL am. I can’t be like you, Marisol. I can’t flip a switch or magically decide to turn over a new leaf, hoping that my kind, innocent outlook will mend all of pain and suffering that I’ve had a hand in causing nor that was inflicted on me will ever go away. What you called help was merely me looking out for the best interests for my soon-to-be husband’s company. Whether everyone likes it or not, there’s no denying that you helped elevate the Vixen division to a new level - a competitive shot in the arm that hasn’t been seen in quite sometime. I would love to be the one who takes that title from around your waist, but the problems between us take a backseat in sake of what’s best for business. I’m not going to allow you to become a victim, much like Mei Long did when she got complicent with her standing as champion that allowed her to be dethroned by Raven.”
Mariah smirks, “I’m amazed that you’re able to coexist in the same company with the same woman who took Xion away from you in the first place… You’ve really changed Brooklyn. The old you would have snatched her weave out until she was bald and choked her to death with her own mini-skirt.”
Brooklyn points a manicured finger into Mariah’s face, “Don’t you DARE think for a second that having a child and getting Xion back has made me lose my edge. As stubborn as I have been over these last few months…”
Mariah corrects her, “...Years.”
“Whatever… What matters is that I’m willing to squash that. The way I see it, I can play the part of karma around here. I don’t care what these girls think of me, but they will know one way or another that karma is a bitch.”
Mariah looks shocked, “So you’re saying that we’re good then?”
“I didn’t say that.”
“You did say you’re willing to squash it.”
“Hush, before I change my mind and squash YOU… Marisol, don’t make this hard on me. You know I don’t well with this kind of stuff.”
Mariah smiles, “Sorry. I'm just giving you a hard time. For the record, back then, I did what I thought was right to protect you. I guess in your own sick little way you were doing the same. I knew that you still cared, Brooklyn.”
“Shut up, Marisol. You’re making me sound like I’m all goodie-goodie like you.”
“You got a point there, you’re not. You’re standing next to Xion, fully supporting his plans to continuously terrorize this company and the fans like a dictatorship.”
“If you really knew Xion like I do, you would realize that real villains are the ones who are sitting in that audience, in the locker room, or watching at home around the world judging and assuming like they truly know what is going on. If you could see his vision like how he shared it to me, then you would see how beautiful every ounce of that man is - from his handsome looks to that brilliant mind of his. Our time apart has truly honed him into perfection - on every level…
And if you tell him that I’ll kill you.”
“It’s no secret that you’re fond of your husband. It’s rightfully so. Xion and I may have grown up together and dated a long time, but along the way, we found out that we don’t understand each other at all. Truth be told, that was when I realized that I was merely fooling myself, thinking that I could fill the void in Xion’s heart. I was meant to be his friend - not his lover. There was no one meant for him other than you, despite what issues drove you both apart. It wasn’t right for me to play the part of a mere substitution to what he was lacking all of this time.”
Brooklyn looks surprised that Mariah came clean about what she knew already. She’s speechless for a moment as she took a moment to gather her words, “I wasn’t right about how I went about everything either. Xion made a lot of mistakes back then, but I wasn’t innocent either. I was the one who drove him into that harlot’s arms when I didn’t support him, thanks to my immaturity back then. I was foolish not to believe in him and I was even more foolish to hide Tiana from him for so long. Now I have a chance to remedy that past mistake, I can stand by his side and support every decision that he has with the utmost confidence and without a shadow of a doubt that he is doing what is best for our family. That’s where I belong, Marisol. Xion has been fighting for a long time without being properly armed for battle. It’s appropriate that I take my place as his right-hand, his sword. As his wife I shall always be with him in battle to aid him in slaying those who oppose me - one way or another.”
Mariah’s eyes narrow.
“So what if I stand in your way?”
“You will be slain like everyone else. All that I ask is that you don’t be foolish. The new year is right around the corner and we’re ushering in change in GZWA. I implore you to choose wisely, Marisol. Otherwise, things between us might not be so… civil, in the future.”
“Is that a threat, Brooklyn? Even after we’ve both came to grips on our differences?”
“Because I care about our past friendship, I’m issuing you a warning. The others won’t be so lucky.”
Mariah sighed as Brooklyn opted to walk away, “In that case, I’m going to return the favor and give you a warning.I’m not going to sit back and allow the injustice that you both support by the Machine to continue. I’m not alone in that fight either as Xion already has several of his own employees willing to oppose him - if they aren’t already doing that as we speak. If you continue down this road, I fear that you’re going to bring your family into the cross hairs. In that situation, there are no happy endings.”
Brooklyn kept her back to Mariah as she replied to the Vixen Champion once more, “If you truly knew what was going on, you would understand that is exactly why I’m supporting Xion in his battles. No one fucks with my family. My parents have been dead since I was little. Xion and Tiana are everything I have left.”
Mariah stood silent, knowing full and well of the Glam Star’s troubled past. Brooklyn chuckled briefly to hide the pain of that memory.
“‘No happy endings?’ Hmph, that’s exactly what I was thinking about your title reign…”
“We’ll see about that.”
“Oh really now? Prove me wrong, champ. You know I’ll be watching… And if you could Super Kick Raven’s teeth down her throat that would be lovely…”
“That could be arranged.”
Brooklyn smiled as she left Mariah to her thoughts.
** Best of Three Series: Match #1 **
"The Iceman" Stefan Raab vs. "Straight-Edge Juggalo" Ryan Kendrick
Prof. X: Welcome to our last broadcast of 2015, folks. We’re here tonight in Greenville, South Carolina. This is our last stop on the road to Riot Control and everyone is looking to end 2015 on a strong note. Later tonight, we’re going to have a contract signing to seal the deal for the fatal-4 way for Vixen Championship Match at Riot Control between Mariah and the three women that Serena Dent named challengers for the gold on our last broadcast.
Francine: On top of that, the GZWA Tag Team Championship will be on the line as the MisFits will defend the gold against the Mega Busters. Ashleigh Cash may not be here tonight to join them but her sacrifice wasn’t in vain as she gave her partners-in-crime another chance at the gold. I’m sure that’s going to be a fight to remember as Mega Busters aren’t going to allow this chance slip through their fingers again.
The Carter: What about the battle royal involving both champions and all of the challengers for the Television and World Heavyweight Championships? You can’t sleep on any of those Superstars in that match as anyone could be a wildcard to win that match.
Francine: Very true, but tonight’s main event will mark the end of 2015 chapter of the Straight-Edge Saviors war against the Machine as they have managed to drag both Blake Harper and Veda Scott into this fight for a traditional Survivor Series match. I’m anxious to see which side will come out on top.
Prof. X: We definitely have an exciting show lined up tonight and it starts right now with match #1 in Best of the Three Series between Stefan Raab and Ryan Kendrick.
After the opening bell, Stefan Raab makes the first move as he starts his offense with a Lou Thesz Press. Ryan Kendrick is quick to react with a Release Belly to Belly to send the Iceman overhead. Stefan Raab lands on his feet like a nimble cat to the amazement of the live crowd. The Straight-Edge Juggalo wasn’t impressed as he charged in to continue his offense, but the Iceman spun around in time to Armdrag the incoming Juggalo to the mat. Raab then went to lock in the Cologne Cloverleaf (Texas Cloverleaf Submission) to the grounded Straight-Edge Juggalo. Kendrick manages to kick Raab between the ropes to narrowly avoid the hold from being applied just as Raab tried to roll him over onto his stomach. Raab manages to land safely onto the ring apron, but the Straight-Edge Juggalo wasn’t going to stand by and do nothing. Ryan Kendrick sprung back to his feet and immediately raced straight towards Raab to knock him off the ring apron with a High-Impact Spear. The Iceman shook off the cobwebs in time and manages to stop the Straight-Edge Juggalo in his tracks with an European Uppercut. With Ryan Kendrick stunned momentarily, Stefan Raab took control of the situation and dragged him between the ropes onto the ring apron to join him. The Iceman sought to put the Straight-Edge Juggalo on ice literally with a DDT on the ring apron, but Ryan Kendrick wasn’t willing to experience the ice age anytime soon. He spun free and jumped up briefly with a Legfeed Enzurigiri aimed at Raab’s skull. Unfortunately, Stefan Raab ducked the kick and executes German Suplex to remove Kendrick off the ring apron and send him crashing down to the ringside floor in one smooth motion.
Francine: Gotta give the man credit there. The Iceman is truly impressive. I can’t blame Hayabusa for getting cold feet against a competitor like that.
The Carter: Just imagine. Ryan Kendrick and Stefan Raab will able to do this for our next few broadcasts, giving it everything they have to come out of this competition on top as the victory. No matter who wins this thing, we’re definitely in for some amazing bouts in this series.
Prof. X: No doubt about that, partner!
Stefan Raab doesn’t want to stop there as the crowd’s chants of “THAT WAS AWESOME!” echo throughout the arena. The Iceman dragged Ryan Kendrick to his feet for a Rolling German Suplex. The Straight-Edge Juggalo wasn’t willing to give up the ghost not now, not ever. He held onto the barricade for dear life as Ryan Kendrick bowled backwards from the backlash. Ryan Kendrick looks around to the crowd as he stood on top of the barricade towering above the cheering fans. With his drive renewed, the Straight-Edge Juggalo launches himself towards the Iceman with a stage dive-style Flying Clothesline from the barricade.
Francine: Someone might want to remind Kendrick that he can still get counted out here.
The Carter: Yeah, these guys might want to bring this back into the ring soon.
Prof. X: Don’t worry. That seems to be Kendrick’s plan.
Referee Slick Johnson urges the Straight-Edge Juggalo and the Iceman to return to ring as he continues the ring out count.
4…
5…
6…
7…
Ryan Kendrick heeds the referee’s warning and promptly rolls Stefan Raab back into the ring shortly after the ring out count of 7. The Straight-Edge Juggalo propelled himself back into the ring with a Slingshot Splash to the grounded Stefan Raab. The Straight-Edge Juggalo hooks the Iceman’s leg into a pin.
ONE…
TWO…
WAIT!!!
The Iceman kicks out but he didn’t stop there as he rose back to his feet with the Straight-Edge Juggalo trapped in the Ice Pick (Ankle Lock). Ryan Kendrick wasn’t going to give up - not this way. Kendrick hops on one foot and struck with a Jumping Enzuigiri with his free leg. Once again, Stefan Raab reacts in time by ducking underneath the blow and counters with a Release German Suplex. Unfortunately for the Iceman, this situation doesn’t play out like how it did mere moments ago on the ring apron as Ryan Kendrick lands safely on his feet behind Raab. The Iceman spun around and experienced the full impact of the Straight-Edge Juggalo’s Spear. Kendrick wastes no time covering Raab in another pin.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE--NO!!!
Prof. X: Somehow, someway, the Iceman isn’t allowing himself to become extinct tonight.
The Carter: Well, after a hit like that he’s definitely on the endangered species list.
The Straight-Edge Juggalo shook his head in disbelief and returned to his feet. He went right back on offense by elevating Stefan Raab overhead with an In Yo Face (Fall Foward Diving Facebuster). A Superstar’s face bounces off the canvas, but it wasn’t the Iceman as he managed to turn this situation around with The Ice Storm (Diamond Cutter) out of nowhere. Stefan Raab rolls Kendrick onto his back for the cover.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Francine: Just like that, Stefan Raab takes the first match in this Best of Series.
Prof. X: I know most of our fans were expecting Kuro Hayabusa to face Stefan Raab in this series, but I think we’ve gotten a fine substitution from this agreement between these two Superstars.
The Carter: With nothing but respect and their competitive fires driving them forward, I think the best is yet to come in this series.
The scene cuts to backstage, where an interviewing area has been set up. A lush red background, illuminated by monitors with the GZWA Primetime logo, and the head interviewer for the company, Christy Hemme, standing in the midst of this. Smiling at the camera she lifts the microphone up to her lips and speaks out to everyone in the arena and watching at home.
Christy: My guest at this time spread across GZWA like a true wildfire. She is technical and skilled in the ring, with a “never give up” attitude and the desire to bring out the “sport” in “sports entertainment”. She will be main eventing tonight’s show, as a member of Team SES for the first time in her wrestling career. Please welcome, Blake Harper.
Blake walks into the frame as she stands besides Christy with a genuine smile on her face. Placing a hand on the interviewer’s shoulder, she doesn’t hesitate to speak out.
Blake: Thank you for having me, Christy. Always a pleasure to speak to you.
Christy: Likewise. Blake, a lot of the fans were surprised and even stunned to see you run out there before your match to help out the Straight-Edge Society in their fight against the Machine. Of course, the question on everybody’s mind is, why? Why did you decide to come to the aid of CM Punk, Suicide and Gabriel Wingue?
Blake: Well, from the first minute I came to GZWA, I wanted to bring one quality, one truth that I was taught by my trainers and teachers. If you come out there wanting to fight the fight, make it fair. Getting a win by cheating or outnumbering someone doesn’t show that you are better than anybody. It just proves that you are so weak that the only way you can actually get ahead is with the help of others and just distracting your opponent. You don’t need many skills or a degree to gang up on someone.
Christy: Rumors are circling around that the reason why you came out there to take care of Veda Scott is because of the blooming romance between you and CM Punk…
Blake: Yes, because every time a male and a female know each other it is a gateway to a long lasting relationship filled with Skittles and chocolate teddy bears. Christy, you were a part of the locker room and you know that here, everybody knows everybody. This is a close knit business and most of the people worked with one another on some kind of level. That is the same with me and Punk. We know each other from training camps and MMA events. Nothing more, nothing less. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t feel bad for him getting abused by the Machine. People in this company shouldn’t get ahead because of a lawyer interfering in matches and playing referee.
Veda Scott pushes Christy Hemme aside and forces her way into the frame. "No, I'm not having any of this, Christy. I have no idea who or what this girl wants since she sticking her nose in the Machine's business. She's obviously confused. I'm willing to forgive you if you just don't show up for tonight's main event..."
Blake looks at Veda with a smile on her face. She doesn't push her away and just seems fascinated by the emotional performance by the advocate of the Machine.
Blake: I love it that you think that I actually have an agenda. I am not the girl with the plan. That's your shtick. The only reason I came out there last Primetime was because the match was not fair in anyway. You know that you are a woman, Punk, Suicide and Gabriel won't hurt you and you use that to manipulate the outcome of the match. You don't earn your wins, you win because you cheat and scheme. And that is not what wrestling is about.
Veda: "Then what's it really about? Peace, justice, and the American way? I'm sorry Wonder Woman but the Superfriends are about to have their silly little cartoon cancelled tonight. What do you know about fair? Aren't you still new to wrestling? I'm a lawyer. I know my rights. It's not my fault that those boys are afraid to cross any boundaries out of fear of the consequences."
Blake: Who knew that you actually had a sense of humor? I might be new in a wrestling ring, but I am not new in the world of professional sport. People train, prepare, do research and put their bodies on the line every single night. All of that hard work for a few minutes in the spotlight to show what you were working for all these years. For a chance to be in a main event or even get a title match. Yet, they're chances go out the win, thanks to a caricature of a valet, who reminds you more of a lawyer from a porn shoot rather than an actual attorney. Because of people like you wrestling is becoming all low brow entertainment and no sports.
Veda smirks as she adjusted her glasses, "Don't go comparing me to the other redheads in the locker room. I hate to inform you but I'm the only educated one among this parade of sluts and attention whores. I don't walk around here exposing my body to the masses. I have been placed into this position of power within the Machine based on my INTELLIGENCE. Y'know, something that you and the rest of the GZWA Nation are lacking of.
I see what you're trying to do. You think that just because that I'm more comfortable behind a stack of paperwork at a desk job that I don't know what it takes to get physical in that ring. I've had training to get here too. You may have done well in the world of MMA but you're no Holly Holm so don't be surprised that you go home with your tail between your legs like Ronda Rousey. This isn't going to be like that ordeal I had with Chanel. As you will see tonight, I've been training with the Enforcers to properly take care of myself in that ring."
Blake listens to the comparisons made by Veda as she cracks a big grin and pats her future opponent on the shoulder.
Blake: Being compared to Ronda Rousey, even after the loss, is still one hell of a compliment. See, here's the difference between us, fellow redheads. I am not afraid of losing. I am not afraid to go back to the end of the line and start over. I am not afraid of a loud and obnoxious little manager, who hides behind two broad shouldered fellows, who share one brain. I am not afraid to face the system and move against the hierarchy.
You might have been training with the Enforcers, you might have an upper hand over me in education. But I've been trained by the toughest people out there, I broke bones, fought with blood dripping down my face and almost choking on my own teeth. In that ring - I am titanium. Right there, after the bell rings you are in my neck of the woods... And no degree or signed paper will give you a chance to beat me.
Veda: Bold words, Supergirl, but I'll make sure to bring some kryptonite to make this a fair fight.
Blake: Oh, please do. The more obstacles - the better. While you're at it, give Bebop and Rocksteady a call to join in on the festivities. I'll make sure that Team SES will be more than ready to show that wrestlers are not merely pawns for the board to play around.
Veda: "You're more than welcome to try, little miss sunshine."
Blake: I will do my best. Good luck and stay away from water... I think you might just turn back into a gremlin.
Veda rolls her eyes and motions to walk away. The camera then zooms back on Blake Harper, showing the proud fighter with a satisfied grin on her face. Veda rushes back into the scene and attacks Blake from behind, knocking her to the floor. The camera then focuses back in on Blake holding the back of her head as referees and stagehands run to keep Veda from attacking once more and to help Blake back to her feet.
"The Goddess" Amanda Cortez confronts Serai Leone about the fate of her kidnapped step-daughter
It becomes dark in the arena and the song "19 Nägel für Sophie“ by Eisregen is played. As the lights go back on again Amanda makes her way down to the ring, dressed in a short black dress and armed with a microphone. Like usual the fans are cheering at her and she waves at them, but this time she seem to be a bit frustrated and even worried.
She climbed inside the ring and after a brief pause she began to speak. “Ladies and gentlemen, at first I want to apologize that I’m not as cheerful as I usually am, but the events of the past few weeks have been too much, at least more than I can stand.”
She pauses for a moment and swallows. Everybody can see that it’s hard for her to speak on this subject.
“I think you already all know what had happened, but if not, well, then I will give you the Cliff Notes version. You know that I’m married to Rose and that I have two kids. Well, not exactly two. I have a son and a stepdaughter which I love as much as my own child. So you think everything should be great in my life right now, but sadly it's not.”
A tear runs down her cheek, but she doesn’t care and continues.
“The last time you saw me perform in the ring, together with my wife as you all might remember, I didn’t do much during this match. Yes, I left my wife alone in that match and I felt so damn pathetic and helpless, but I had no choice. There was this mysterious woman, Serai Leone, and she blackmailed me. Somehow, she managed to kidnap my stepdaughter Kiara and she threatened to hurt her if I wouldn’t lose that match. It hasn’t been easy for me, but I had no choice and so I did it. So I thought that this nightmare was over and that she would give me back my daughter, but she didn’t. Dammit, this fucking bitch lied to me…”
Amanda clenches her fists and everybody can see how worried and angry she is.
“I don’t know what this bitch wants, but I know what I want. I want my daughter back. I talked to the bosses and all they said was that I should try to talk to Serai, but it didn’t help, she didn’t answer me. Every time I managed to reach to her, she only laughed at me. So tell me, what shall I do?”
She looks into the crowd looking for an answer and after a few seconds, she starts to speak again.
“I could just sit here and wait, but that’s not my cup of tea. I won’t wait and see what happens when I can fight. Yes, you heard right, I will fight. I love my family and you all know me, if someone hurts my family, I turn into a savage beast in this ring and I promise that this will happen again. But I’m no aggressive psycho and so I give Serai a last chance … So Serai, if you can hear me now, then listen good, because this is your last chance. You don’t deserve it, but I’m a nice person and so you get one last chance to give me back my daughter. And that time is now.”
Amanda lowers the microphone from her lips and waits. It’s completely quiet in the arena and nobody makes a noise, but nothing happens and Serai doesn’t come to the ring. So after a few minutes Amanda raises the mic to her lips again and begins to speak again.
“OK, Serai, this was your last chance and you didn’t take it, so now you will have to deal with the consequences. It seems that you don’t wanna gimme back Kiara, so you gave me no choice and I will have to fight. You told me that you don’t want another match against me and I accepted it, but now I won't take no for an answer. Now you will have to fight and so I challenge you for a match at Riot Control. And if I win, then you will give me back Kiara and we will forget the whole thing. So you see that I’m a really nice person and you also see that I want no war.”
For a moment Amanda becomes quiet and it seems that she has no nice thoughts.
“I'm confident that I will win, because I’ll do everything to get my daughter back, but we should also talk about the worst case, the unlikely case that I lose that match. Let’s make a deal. If I lose that match you will let Kiara go too and then you can take me instead of her and you can do to me whatever you want.”
It seems that Amanda is finished and she is about to leave the ring, but then she turns back to speak one last time.
“Oh, I forgot to mention one last thing. Don’t try to talk to the bosses, because I already got this match approved by them. Haha, so no choice for you …you will have to fight. I forget it to mention that it will an ultimate submission match. And now enjoy your last days before you end up on your knees and apologize to me for all your crimes.”
Amanda drops the mic and while the fans cheer at her again, she slides out of the ring and, without turning back, she walks away.
At that moment the arena goes black as smoke billows throughout the arena. Soon the familiar chanting of druids are heard followed by eerily seductive laughter. One by one, the druids file in line blocking Amanda's attempt to leave. Suddenly a bolt of lightning strikes the spot in front of Amanda causing her to fall to the floor. The lights are back on and the smoke clears showing Amanda surrounded by three of the druids. They whip off their hoods revealing themselves to be the daughters of Serai Leone: Serena Leone, Sienna Leone and Talya Leone.
For a moment Amanda stops and looks around how to get away, but there is nowhere to go. So she stands her ground and glares at them.
"So did you and your clan eventually crawled outta your hole?"
The three along with the druids point at the giant screen as it comes to life. A dark room comes into view as the lights inside it power on one by one. Soon the trembling body of Kiara Littlefeather is seen in a far corner.
As soon as Amanda sees this, she screams out like in pain. She clenches her fists and for a moment she is about to jump at Serai's daughters, but she drops to her knees in defeat.
"You fucking bitch ...LET HER GO!!!"
Tears are running down her cheeks, but she doesn't care.
Serai Leone appears on the screen and smirks waving at Amanda before turning her focus briefly to Kiara.
"A beautiful young woman, isn't she? Such a shame that she has to pay for your sins. The purity of a young innocent girl soon to be corrupted because of her mother's refusal to stop summoning the devil. Sad really.."
"And now stop this ...come here and face me ..." Amanda almost goes insane and she's completely out of control. But then she calms down a bit, as she reminds herself about the safety of . "Please ...stop this now. Just tell me what you want."
"Oh you think you still call the shots, don't you? Maybe I should make this a family reunion and add your precious wife to the party..."
Now that's too much for Mandy. "You can't do this ..." But that thought of any harm coming Kiara is too much for her. "Just tell me what you want from me."
"I believe that Kiara's biggest fear besides losing Jacobi is spiders.' Serai walks over to a nearby table grabbing a small tank filled with baby spiders. 'Well lookie at what I have here. A bunch of little playmates who would like LOVE to get to know her intimately."
Amanda screams out again. "Stop this ...please." The whole situation is out of control and she feels so helpless. "Please ...just tell me what you want and what I shall do it. I do anything you want."
"You had the chances to live happily ever after. All you had to do was ask.'You should have heeded my warning."
"OK, OK. I get your point ...and what now? We can't do this here forever. There has to be a reasonable solution." Amanda still hopes to end this trouble in some way. "Please let Kiara go and take me instead.”
"Should have thought about that before you opened that mouth of yours. I was content with the quiet after our match at Pride. But you just couldn't shut up and let shit die. You'll get your match. When I am good and damn ready. And on MY TERMS."
For a moment Amanda is quiet, but then she answers a last time. "OK ..deal. On your terms. But then u let Kiara go. And till then you don't hurt her anymore."
"Deal." The lights go out once more covering the arena in a blanket of darkness. Once the lights are back on, Amanda finds herself alone.
A black lotus at her feet.
What could this possibly mean?
Backstage, the Mega Busters are getting ready for the Tag Team Championship match coming up.
Matthew Miles and Psycho Sagus have a somber expression on their faces before they began to speak.
Matthew Miles: “I know you all have noticed that we’re one member short tonight - no thanks to the acts of the MisFits, namely Laura Jackson. You will be all glad to know that Ashleigh Cash is recovering at home and managed to avoid any major injuries outside of a mild concussion.”
Psycho Sagus: “For the last decade, we have been regarded as the bottom of the food chain and never considered a threat to anyone, whether it was here in GZWA or back in our humble beginnings in ZXWWF. Tonight that is going to change. We haven’t scratched, clawed, and fought our way from having nothing to get here today. Unlike the MisFits, we don’t require any cheat codes nor a Game Genie to find success.”
Matthew Miles: “Ashleigh beat Laura Jackson fair and square - something that she didn’t think was possible since the reigning Vixen Champion was barely able to accomplish that feat in one of her first open challenges. Ashleigh is part of the Mega Busters too and she played her part to get us this opportunity. We’re not going to let her sacrifice be in vain. We’re bringing the GZWA Tag Team Championship home for Christmas.”
Miles and Sagus give each other a fist bump before walking off the scene in preparation for their match coming up next.
*** Tag Team Match for GZWA Tag Team Championship ***
The MisFits ("Tattooed Beauty" Laura Jackson & "Queen of Submission" Casey Cortez) vs. Mega Busters (Matthew Miles & Psycho Sagus)
Prof. X: It’s the moment that we’ve all been waiting for - the GZWA Tag Team Championship is on the line on our final broadcast of 2015 as the MisFits defend their titles against the Mega Busters. This is the Mega Busters second chance at gold as Ashleigh Cash sacrificed everything - including putting her own good health at risk in a match against Laura Jackson during our last broadcast.
Francine: Don’t make Ashleigh out to be a victim, professor. She’s a trained wrestler - one of Mariah’s former students to be exact. She knew the risks before she even agreed to the match. Everyone has seen what the MisFits have been capable of over the past year. They have had a the tag team titles in a stranglehold that no one seems to be able to stop them.
The Carter: The Mega Busters were close to defeating the MisFits in their last encounter but their dirty tactics forced their hand and cost them the championship gold. Speaking of Ashleigh Cash, I hope she’s doing alright.
Prof. X: Hold that thought, partner. Why is Alice Shadow out here?
The cameras quickly pan over to the entrance ramp as Alice Shadow races through the crowd and jumps over the barricade to attack Laura Jackson as she was on her way to the ring with a Diving Lou Thesz Press.
Francine: Alice is fighting Laura like a woman possessed. If I were to guess, she’s clearly out here for revenge for the Tattooed Beauty hospitalizing her best friend.
Prof. X: I can understand that but she could at least wait her turn at having a knack at the MisFits and leave this in the hands of the Mega Busters tonight.
The Carter: To be fair, Alice Shadow wasn’t ever one to show restraint with her emotions.
Alice continues to pummel Laura with bare knuckle strikes to the face before Casey Cortez removes Alice from on top of Laura with a Hair-Pull Snapmare, slinging her against the barricade along the side of the ramp in the process. Casey runs over to kick her while she was down, but Alice hits the Dark Shadow (Paige Turner) to leave her grounded. Alice then applies the Jaws of the Wolf (PTO) to the Queen of Submission.
The Carter: If Alice keeps this up, the Mega Busters might have an easy task at relieving the MisFits of the tag team titles!
Francine: I wouldn’t speak too soon, Carter.
The hold isn’t locked in for long as the Tattooed Beauty broke it with a well-placed Super Kick to Alice’s jaw. Laura stood up to notice the damage that Alice inflicted onto her as she wiped blood from her mouth and becomes enraged. The Tattooed Beauty directs traffic as she orders Casey to perform a Running Powerbomb to launch Alice’s body against the steel steps at ringside. Alice’s body slumps down the steps into a seated position as the Tattooed Beauty wastes no time smashing a steel chair to Alice’s face with a Running Dropkick (RVD-style).
Prof. X: SOMEONE STOP THIS SHE HAS A FAMILY DAMMIT!!!!
Laura Jackson doesn’t stop there as she motions for another chair shot but the Mega Busters race down to the ring to engage the MisFits. The Wonder Girl (Ashley Wonder) tends to her sister while the medical staff races onto the scene.
Francine: Looks like you got your wish, professor.
Psycho Sagus and Matthew Miles make their presence known by knocking Casey Cortez into the ring apron with a Double Dropkick. Laura closes in with another chairshot with Matthew Miles easily evading the blow. Psycho Sagus leapt into harm’s way as he spotted her target at the last second - Wonder Girl - and took the chair shot that was meant for her while she knelt down at her sister’s side. The Tattooed Beauty backed away as Wonder Girl begged her to stop. The Tattooed Beauty swung again, only for the blow to backfire as Psycho Sagus deliver a Jumping Spinning Roundhouse to smack the chair back into Laura’s face. Miles follows up with a Swinging Neckbreaker from behind to the Tattooed Beauty.
Their triumph over the Tattooed Beauty is short-lived as a pending Clothesline from Hell from the Queen of Submission turns Matthew Miles inside out. Casey then turns her attention to the weary Psycho Sagus and tosses him into the ring with a Gorilla Press. As the Queen of Submission steps over the ropes to enter the ring to officially start this match, Psycho Sagus staggers to his feet, hits the ropes, and lunges towards Casey with Spinning Wheel Kick. Casey easily sidesteps the incoming attack and capitalizes on his folly with a vicious Backbreaker. She held him over her knee afterwards as the Tattooed Beauty comes flying down from the top rope to assist in this Death Sentence (Backbreaker and Diving Guillotine Leg Drop combination) tag team maneuver.
Prof. X: The MisFits mean business here tonight. Casey and Laura want to end this quickly.
Casey covers Sagus while Laura Jackson arrogantly counts along with the referee with her back to the ring.
ONE…
TWO…
THR---NO!!!
Matthew Miles broke the near-fall with a Diving Mule Kick directly to Casey’s spine. Before Laura could act in time, Miles knocks her off the ring apron with a Triangle Dropkick. Miles helps his partner to his feet before hip tossing his own partner on top of the prone Casey with a makeshift front flip senton. Referee Earl Hebner urges Miles back to the corner to avoid being disqualified. Miles heeds the referee’s commands while Psycho Sagus delivers a Lionsault to grounded Queen of Submission. Casey sat up from the canvas to catch Sagus into a Gutbuster to counter and followed suit with a Gutwrench Powerbomb. Casey doesn’t stop there as she held him in Abdominal Stretch as the Tattooed Beauty tags herself in.
Francine: I have to admit that the MisFits are working together like a well-oiled machine. That’s a trait that not all of the tag teams that have challenged them have managed to tear apart this dynamic to the equation of their success as tag team champions.
The Carter: They may have went on their own after abandoning Amanda Cortez’s leadership but that’s one thing that they should be thanking her for. All of their time spent together bonded them together as a powerful unit whether they care to like it or not.
Prof. X: Unfortunately, the Mega Busters are on the wrong end of this superpower tonight. Somehow, someway they are going to have to find a way to turn this match into their favor.
Laura Jackson enters the fight by striking the trapped Psycho Sagua with a few boxing body shots to Sagus’ midsection. Casey releases her grip on Sagus in the Abdominal Stretch and passes the hold over to the Tattooed Beauty, who applies the Nighty Night (Body Scissors/Headlock combo). In an act of desperation, Sagus doesn’t allow Laura to wrap her legs around his waist by falling backwards with a Cradle DDT, using Alice Shadow’s signature move out of respect to his girlfriend’s sister.
Wonder Girl beamed with pride at her boyfriend’s strategy as she watched from ringside while the EMTs still tended to Alice.
The Carter: Well, that’s one way to get brownie points with your girlfriend watching you work at ringside.
Francine: Have they moved past holding hands and have even made out yet? I’m pretty sure that the Mega Busters are all candidates for the 30 Year Virgins. Don’t worry, Carter. No one is going to take your world record as the 53 year old virgin.
The Carter: I’m not even anywhere near 53 yet!
Francine: I have seen the future and no woman wants you today, tomorrow, or anytime until then for all eternity.
Prof. X: Ladies, if you want to prove Francine wrong you know where Carter works.
Francine: Oh you have jokes too, professor? I’m shocked.
Back in the ring, both competitors are out cold in the middle of the ring - Sagus from the abuse that has been inflicted to him throughout the course of this match and Laura from the blow dealt to her mere moments ago. Matthew Miles and Casey Cortez pound on the turnbuckles to urge their teammates back to their feet while the referee began the double knockout.

Both competitors return to their feet at the same time. The Tattooed Beauty struck first with a Super Kick but Psycho Sagus avoids it by baseball sliding between Laura’s legs towards the corner for a well-needed tag to Matthew Miles. Laura wasn’t going to allow Sagus to escape that easily. She grabbed Sagus by the ankle to stop him from tagging out to Miles just as his fingers mere inches away from Miles’ outstretched hand. Psycho Sagus spun around with a Jumping Enzuigiri to free himself and connected with a Super Kick to the Tattooed Beauty’s jaw. Laura is sent reeling back into her opposing corner while Psycho Sagus makes the hot tag to Miles.
Matthew Miles enters the match with a Missile Dropkick to the incoming Queen of Submission. Casey stopped in her tracks, poised and ready to intercept the airborne offense of the incoming Matthew Miles. She slams Miles to the canvas with a thunderous Spinebuster and wastes no time applying a Regal Stretch. Psycho Sagus tries to intervene to break the hold but Laura Jackson intercepts him with a Kitchen Sink. Psycho Sagus joins Matthew Miles in agony as the Tattooed Beauty applies a Boston Crab to leave both Mega Busters trapped in the middle of the ring.
Prof. X: This isn’t looking good at all. If they submit here, the Mega Busters can kiss their championship dreams goodbye tonight.
Francine: I gotta admit that the MisFits are looking strong here tonight. They haven’t skipped a beat at all against the Mega Busters here.
The Carter: I wouldn’t count them out yet. The boys haven’t gotten their second wind.
While the Mega Busters are trapped in both of the MisFits submission holds in the center of the ring, the EMTs are carrying Alice Shadow on a stretcher up the entrance ramp. She shoves them away and rolls off the stretcher to stagger down the ramp and climbs up onto the ring apron with the very same steel chair in hand that is stained with her own blood. She tries to get into the ring but Referee Earl Hebner holds her at bay while Wonder Girl pulls her down from the ring apron, warning her that she doesn’t want to get Ashleigh’s teammates disqualified for her emotions out of control. The Tattooed Beauty released the hold on Psycho Sagus and helped Alice on her way out with a Super Kick to knock her off the ring apron, but Ashley Wonder was able to catch her sister before she hit the floor.
That distraction proved to be exactly what the Mega Busters needed to escape this hairy situation. Psycho Sagus freed Matthew Miles with a Jumping Facebuster to Casey, bouncing her face onto the canvas. The duo proceeded to send Laura Jackson crashing down to ringside with a Double Dropkick that knocked her between the ropes, leaving the Queen of Submission at their mercy as she stood disoriented from the last attack. The Mega Busters laid out Casey with a Double Super Kick.
Prof. X: That Super Kick would make the Young Bucks proud.
The duo doesn’t stop there as Psycho Sagus follows up with a Running Shooting Star Splash while Matthew Miles positions himself on the top rope. Miles finishes her off with a 450 Splash and covers her in a pin after impact.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!
The bell rings to end this match, but Hebner raises Casey’s arm as the Mega Busters look on confused.
The Carter: What the hell is going on? The Mega Busters won right?
Prof. X: I thought they did too.
Francine: I think they have the catfight at ringside to blame. Look for yourselves.
Alice Shadow has attacked Laura Jackson at ringside during the finish of the match, causing the referee to name the MisFits the winners of this match via disqualification. Ashley Wonder shakes her head while the EMTs and security separate Alice Shadow and Laura Jackson. The Mega Busters are left standing in the ring with their heads hanging down in defeat as the tag team titles have eluded them yet again.
Prof. X: It was a hard fought battle by both teams, but this is definitely not what the Mega Busters expected how this title match to end tonight.
Francine: They didn’t have themselves to blame in the least. It was Ashleigh’s mentally unstable friend who ruined what could have been a pivotal moment in their careers tonight.
The Carter: Looks like Christmas isn’t coming early for the Mega Busters that’s for sure.

Zoey Valentine: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back to GZWA... THE NEXT LEVEL, MIKE BRADLEY!"
The familiar crescendo of The X-Ecutioners' "It's Goin' Down" hits the speakers, and the crowd goes ballistic for the recently retired two-time GZWA Television Champion. Mike makes his way out to the stage wearing a zip-up hoodie and jeans, walking with stiff legs. Dueling chants of "Holy shit!" and "Welcome back!" fill the arena. Everyone is on their feet, including the announce team and all the ringside workers. A huge smile spreads across Mike's face as he slowly makes his way to the ring. Getting through the ropes is a bit of a challenge, but he manages.
"Oh man, I haven't gotten a reaction like that in ages. I guess this is a surprise Christmas present for me and all of you, huh?"
The crowd resumes its "Welcome back!" chant. Mike calls for a chair from ringside. He unfolds it in the middle of the ring and sits down.
"I appreciate your enthusiasm, guys, but right now it's storytime with Uncle Mike."
The crowd suddenly comes to a hush.
"So as you know, a few months ago, after I lost my Television Title to Chris Matthews..."
The crowd boos loudly.
"...I was forced to retire due to cardiac complications. You also probably know that I was born with a congenital heart defect that's required three surgeries, and I've defied all odds by participating in all those stressful athletic activities all my life - football, track, breakdancing, wrestling. It was a pretty wild ride, but unfortunately it came to a screeching halt at age 28. My cardiologist asked me to come in for further tests to see if any action was necessary, and holy shit was it ever... this is the first time the public is hearing about this, but in that match with Matthews I nearly fucking DIED in the ring."
The crowd gasps in shock and horror at the mere thought of an in-ring death.
"Yeah. My heart was so fucked up that they scheduled me for an emergency heart transplant. A whole new engine. I was afraid that one false move just getting onto the operating table could kill me as well. Thankfully, it didn't, the surgery was a success, and now I have a fresh ticker that's free of any complications or defects!"
The crowd erupts in cheers.
"But I didn't come here to tell you that I'm feeling better, say thank you, and leave... I came to tell you about a conversation I had with my cardiologist after the transplant."
The crowd suddenly becomes tense with anticipation.
"After the metric fuckton of anesthesia wore off, I spoke to my cardiologist and said, 'Hey, is there any chance with this shiny new heart I could... you know... wrestle again?'"
The crowd suddenly perks up again with cheers and a small "Yes! Yes! Yes!" chant breaks out.
"And she said, 'Well...'"
With a skeptical tone of voice and a brief pause from Mike, some of the crowd groans in disappointment.
"'There are some things you have to do. You have to come in for periodic stress tests, you have to regain your strength, you have to get back into physical shape.' You guys saw me walk down here, my legs are pretty damn stiff from being stuck in bed recuperating for so long. She said she doesn't have an exact timeframe yet, but once I get cleared for competition, pay Danielle a visit, and get back into fighting shape..."
Now that they can sense where this announcement is going, the entire crowd explodes into a "Yes! Yes! Yes!" chant. Mike slowly stands up, using the back of the chair for support.
"That's right, call your friends, call your family, and lock down the barn door, because you have not seen the last of Mike Bradley in a GZWA ring!"
The crowd reaches a deafening level and Mike's happy face turns serious.
"I don't know where... I don't know when... but something amazing is going to happen. It's going to be the biggest comeback in wrestling history. I have every intention of going from death's door to World Heavyweight Championship glory! Every single one of the veterans and newbies in the back who thought it was safe to go back in the water better realize that before they know it, it's gonna be feeding time for the biggest shark in the ocean, and you better get on my level!"
And if you don't know... now you know!
As the crowd chimes in along with him on his catchphrase, Mike flips the microphone out of the ring and slowly makes his way out, sliding underneath the bottom rope feet first. He high fives the fans at ringside before making his way up the ramp, opening his hoodie to reveal his scar. He points at it and gives them the "A-OK" sign.
*** Over The Top Battle Royal ***
GZWA World Heavyweight Champion "Hardcore Monster" Carnage vs. The Undertaker vs. "The Emo Warrior" Jimmy Jacobs vs. GZWA Television Champion "The Architect" Chris Matthews vs. Daniel Widdel vs. "Psycho Menace" Ry Drake
Prof. X: Up next we have a Riot Control preview battle royal featuring the same men who will be competing for championship gold at that event.
The Carter: Wait a second, where’s Jaser Cruz? I thought he was competing for the Television Championship?
Francine: I heard that his flight was delayed or something like that. You know that the show must go on whether he’s here or not.
Prof. X: That’s true. Let’s just hope that his flight plans are in order for he won’t miss Riot Control and allow another championship opportunity to pass him by. Do you two have any favorites for this match?
Francine: I’ve got my money on Carnage. The Machine are wise to invest their assets into supporting the most dominant Superstar on the GZWA roster. Taker and Lil Jimmy going to have to bring everything they’ve got and then some if they hope to defeat him at Riot Control.
Prof. X: I don’t see nothing wrong with that prediction. What about you, Carter?
The Carter: Call me nuts, but I’m going with Ry Drake. You can’t rule out the resident loose cannon and most unorthodox guy on the roster. I got a feeling that he’s going to surprise a lot of people in 2016.
Prof. X: Let’s hope that’s in a good way.
After the opening bell, everyone erupts into a brawl in throughout the ring, but it’s The Undertaker who is in clear control of this match from the start. Ry Drake lunged towards the Deadman with a Flying Clothesline only for the Undertaker to stop him in his tracks with a throat thrust before spiking his skull into the mat with a Running DDT. The Deadman spun around with a Big Boot to the incoming Jacobs to dispose of the Emo Warrior for the time being. Daniel Widdel jumped from the top rope with a Double Axe Handle but the Deadman stood his ground. He caught Widdel out of the air and slammed him to the canvas with authority with a Chokeslam.
The Carter: Good grief! The Deadman has been cleaning house since the start of this match and has laid waste to everyone!
Francine: Don’t speak so soon, Carter. He hasn’t picked a fight with Carnage yet.
Prof. X: Looks like you’re about to get your wish, Francine. The Hardcore Monster is bringing the fight to the Deadman.
Francine: He’s going to be a dead man after Carnage is done with him. That goes for anyone who dares get in his way in this match.
Carnage closed in him with a Running Lariat only for the Deadman to wrench his arm back. The Undertaker dragged the Hardcore Monster unwillingly to the corner as he walked the ropes in preparation for the pending Old School. Carnage stopped him mid-air with a Jumping Headbutt, knocking the Deadman over the top rope. Just as it looked like the Undertaker was to fall down to the floor, the Phenom saves himself by grabbing onto the ropes and landing safely onto the ring apron. Before Carnage could pat himself on the back figuratively for disposing of the Undertaker, he saw the Emo Warrior closing in from out of the corner of his eye. Carnage leapfrogs over the incoming Superstar, allowing Jimmy Jacobs to charge throughout the ropes and knock the Undertaker off the ring apron by a Running Spear.
Zoey Valentine: The Undertaker AND Jimmy Jacobs have been eliminated!
Prof. X: I’m sad to see him go, but I’m sure all of those Superstars in that ring are breathing a sigh of relief now that the Deadman is out of the picture.
Francine: Lil Jimmy seems to be out of the match as well.
The Carter: Jacobs doesn’t seem to be complaining either as he took out the biggest threat in this match.
Francine: Carnage is still in there so there’s still plenty of threats to go around.
The Hardcore Monster perched on the top rope mocking his opponents for Riot Control. Daniel Widdel and Ry Drake didn’t take too kindly to the World Heavyweight Champion’s arrogance and sought out to bring his attitude back down to Earth - literally. The two Superstars climb up to the top with two simultaneously Springboard Enzuigiris to stun the Hardcore Monster. They proceeded to assault him with a 20 Punch with each Superstar taking turns to serve a helping of ten punches a piece. With Carnage reeling, Widdel and Drake worked together to remove Carnage from the top rope with a Double Superplex, but Carnage resists by hooking his legs around the top buckle. Chris Matthews positions himself underneath Daniel Widdel and Ry Drake just in time as Carnage turns this situation around in his favor with a top rope Double Chokeslam/Double Powerbomb combination for a modified Tower of Doom. The crowd erupts into cheers in this impressive feat of strength and pure athleticism.
Francine: I’m sure Veda Scott would agree with me when I say that this is the reason why it’s a surefire bet when you bet on Carnage to win. You just can’t go wrong when you see a Superstar pull off something like that to these men in a match.
Prof. X: There’s no denying the facts.
With the Superstars laid out in the ring, the Architect quickly raised Ry Drake to his feet and tosses him into the corner with a Turnbuckle Powerbomb. The Psycho Menace dropped safely behind Matthews and capitalizes with a Modified Arm Trap Backbreaker. Carnage intervenes with Military Press Stun Gun, dropping Ry Drake throat first on top of the ropes. The Architect quickly recovers in time to knock Drake over the top rope with a Running Big Boot.
Zoey Valentine: Ry Drake has been eliminated!
Chris Matthews pats Carnage on the back, thanking him for their “teamwork”.
The Carter: Uh oh, it looks like Carnage isn’t looking for friends in this match.
Carnage shows his gratitude with a headbutt to knock the Architect to the mat. Chris Matthews then found himself being propelled in the air and into the corner from a Buckle Bomb (Running Release Powerbomb). Carnage charges in with a Body Splash into the corner, but Matthews met him in the air with a Reverse STO, dropping the Hardcore Monster face-first onto the turnbuckle. Just as the Architect was about to pat himself on the back for disposing of Carnage for the time being, Daniel Widdel struck with a Running Kenta Kick to knock Matthews over the top rope. The Television Champion grabbed onto the ropes on the way out as his feet narrowly avoid touching the floor before he pulls himself back up. The previously eliminated Psycho Menace jumped onto the ring apron to join the Architect as he locked in a Dragon Sleeper.
The Carter: That’s not fair! Ry Drake was already eliminated!
Francine: Don’t complain, Carter. Anything goes as long as both feet hit the floor, no matter how it happens. It’s going to be the same at Riot Control.
Prof. X: Chris Matthews has had a bullseye on his back for months now since winning the Television title.
Matthews begins to fade from the hold locked in. One of his hands slip away from firmly holding onto the ropes, leaving one hand standing between himself and crashing to the floor. Jaser Cruz races down the entrance ramp and around the ring. Daniel Widdel wants to help speed things along and performs a Front Dropkick to cause Matthews to lose his grip as Ry Drake released his hold. The Architect fell into Jaser’s grasp as he performs a Jumping Double Knee Facebuster to leave the Television Champion out cold at ringside.
Zoey Valentine: Chris Matthews has been eliminated!
Widdel spun around to experience a Powerslam from Carnage firsthand. The Hardcore Monster position himself on the top rope for Flying Splash to grounded Widdel.
Francine: Poor Daniel, this is the wrong person that he wanted to be jumping on top of his body tonight. Not that he’s been getting much action - if any since his wife has been pregnant.
The Carter: I’m more shocked that it took crazy Amiee this long to get knocked up to be honest…
Prof. X: After Carnage’s done with Widdel, Amiee’s going to have scrape her husband off the canvas with a spatula. Wait a second, I thought he was eliminated!!??
The Emo Warrior returns to stop Carnage’s flight plans with a Jumping Enzuigiri. The Undertaker returns with a surprise of his own as he finishes Carnage off with a Super Chokeslam from the top rope. The commentary team scatters as the Hardcore Monster’s body comes crashing down through the commentary table.
Zoey Valentine: Carnage has been eliminated!
Prof. X: If that’s not a statement for Riot Control then I dunno what is, folks.
Francine: Just great, we have to stand up for the rest of this broadcast. You don’t see us going backstage and shitting in their luggage...
While Jimmy Jacobs is caught up watching Carnage being eliminated Daniel Widdel tosses the unsuspecting Jimmy Jacobs out from behind to steal the win from underneath the Emo Warrior’s nose.
Zoey Valentine: Jimmy Jacobs has been eliminated… again? Daniel Widdel is the winner of this match!
Contract Signing for Fatal 4 Way for the Vixen Championship between "Showstoppin' Senorita" Mariah, "The Ultimate Vixen" Raven, "Lady So Divine" Delta Madison, and "The Glamazon" Beth Phoenix
Primetime returns from commercial break with Commissioner Serena Dent standing in the ring behind a desk set up in the middle of the ring with 2 chairs on the two opposite sides of the table. Four microphones sat on the table along with four pens across from each chair. Serena held the contract on a clipboard in her hand while she raised the microphone to her lips with the other.
Serena Dent: Well, we all know how arrangements like this end… Might as well get it over with. I so don’t want to be here… *Sighs* Tonight, all three of the challengers that were decided during the #1 Contender Tournament, which took place over the last month and, of course, was setup by your beloved Commissioner, will sign the official contract that makes this title match valid. Let us not forget that the same contract will be signed be the GZWA Vixen’s Champion, Mariah, as well. I just want to remind you that this is only the second time a contract signing is being aired live on Primetime. Which I think is a perfect indication of just how big this title bout is… Or at least that is what I am hearing through my earpiece. So, please, end my misery and welcome the three challengers: “Lady So Divine” Delta Madison, “The Ultimate Vixen” Raven and “The Glamazon” Beth Phoenix. And also the reigning GZWA Vixen’s Champion, “The Showstoppin’ Senorita” Mariah.
Coming out to the ring first was the Queen of Queens Tournament winner, Delta Madison. “Sand Storm” by Apashe plays with claps echoing through the arena with tribal beats, until the deep bass kicks in with Delta Madison walking out on stage. Delta parades down the ramp, emphasizing her hips. She playfully had a few fans kiss her hand to emphasis her royalty before she gracefully entered the ring. Delta paces around, waiting for the three other women to make their entrance.
Always a flair for the dramatics, the arena went pitch black as the intro of “Muah” by Electrik Red began to build. As soon as the beat kicked in, a spotlight beamed down on the the head of the ramp showing Raven with a smile on her face before she took her bow and began strutting down the ramp - the spotlight following her the whole way through the dark arena.
She entered the ring, ignoring the other ladies, but stretching out her arms to allow them and the fans to bask in her. She stared down at the contract in the middle of the table as her music faded and the lights came back on.
Not even waiting for fifteen seconds after the last music faded off, Fall Out Boy’s “The Phoenix” played loudly over the system, Beth walking out from the backstage area as her orbs would focus in on the center of the ring. With a chuckle escaping her lips, Beth would extend both of her arms to the side before she would yell as loud as she could. “And here you guys thought I was long gone!” After she yelled, Beth brought her arms closer to her body before quickly lifting her arms up above her head into a “C” formation above her head. Lowering them as she walked to the ring, a smirk on her face, Beth would boost herself underneath the bottom rope - ignoring the other women in the ring - as she brought her body up to a full standing position before walking to the nexus of the ring. Her hues focused in on the contract in the middle of the table while her music faded off, her grabbing the microphone designated for her.
The reigning Vixen Champion arrives to the ring last, accompanied by the sound of “It’s All About Me” by Bandy Leggz filling the arena. Mariah strides around at ringside, making a full circle around the ring to greet the fans before joining her challengers in the ring. Mariah looked to each of her challengers briefly before taking a microphone from the table.
Showstoppin’ Senorita | Mariah: “Six months ago, I ended the reign of terror that came to grips to this championship and introduced GZWA’s Vixen division to a new era of prosperity. I gave any and all women in our beloved division the opportunity to challenge for this title while GZWA Management took it their own hands to “test” the division to deem who was worthy to be the #1 contender for this title since there was a group of rowdy individuals who all claimed that they were next in line. If I’m perfectly honest, I don’t care who I step into this ring with to defend this title. Win, lose, or draw - I’m not going to lay down and hand any of you anything. If you want this…”
She unbuckled the title from around her waist and positioned it onto her shoulder after raising it briefly above her head.
“... then prove to me… no, prove to EVERYONE in the GZWA Nation watching in this arena, backstage, or in the comfort of their homes around the world, that you deserve to be here competing for the most prestigious prize in women’s wrestling today.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m not going to sit back and allow myself to become an afterthought. Many of you may not have noticed, but there’s a locker room of talented women backstage. Each and every one of them could potentially be where you are tonight or even in my shoes as the reigning champion in the near-future. I have been wrestling for a very long time, but I’m not ready to sit on the sidelines and watch these new challenges pass me by. I have defended defended this title in every open challenge to date. The fans know that I’m not going to run and hide, so I’m going to ask the three you a simple question. Are you ready to rise to occasion or will you allow this opportunity pass you by like so many before you?”
Without a second thought, Delta raises up the microphone up to her lips to be the first to answer Mariah’s statement.
Queen Delta: “Mariah you know you have my utmost respect, you know that. Seeing you put up the challenge and putting the Vixen division back on the map is awe inspiring and for me having this opportunity is something I will never let it slip through my fingers. This past year was a whirlwind for me - I lost a tag team partner, entered the Queen of Queens tournament… And won, by the way, if you didn’t know.”
Delta pauses to add effect to her own boasting before continuing.
“I almost had this opportunity slip when I was deterred by an inconvenience that almost cost me my shot. I’m disappointed that I almost dropped the ball to allow such a trivial thing to take my focus away. But you see, this wasn’t the first time for me and let me refresh your memory. During the conclusion of the Queen of Queens tournament, I wrestled not one, not two but THREE matches. And I know you guys are probably sick of me bringing this up but this is me pleading my case. I won those matches because I used my determination and willpower to get through. There is no other Vixen on the roster who has worked harder to earn her spot as a challenger for the Vixen Championship. Not even a detour on the road can stop me from my destination of becoming the Vixen’s Champion..”
Just then, Raven obliged Delta’s speech with a slow clap while rolling her eyes.
Raven: “That’s o-so very nice for you, sweetness. Never say die and push on and all that, whatever. Moi? I’ve had to put up with a slew of you 2nd string bitches and a lot of crap to hold on to what was owed to me. Okay? And now that my rematch is in the bag, albeit this damn fatal 4-way, I’m just here so I won’t get fined.
Quite frankly, neither of you deserve to be in this ring with Marisol and I. Kicking off the first Pay-Per-View of the new year with a Vixen Championship match with her & I? Great. Add in the rabble, I.E. you other two, then it’s a great match with two strains of ‘meh’ involved.”
Raven quickly turned to Mariah
Raven: “And that is NOT a compliment to you. It’s a self-compliment to Moi and an observation of what you’re capable of. By the way, since I’m one you: Save the I-Believe-I-Can-Fly speech for these two because I can do without it. Who scratched and clawed her way through brick walls and road bumps, match after match to get a shot at the title? I did! And when I got that title and clutched on to that sum-bitch for dear life, taking on anyone and sending them to the back of the line. I held on to both titles and did it MY way and didn’t give a damn what you or anyone else thought about it. Talking about ‘ending my reign of terror’, ta loco!
I know what I have to do to get and hold on to what I want. I know what mountains I have to climb and what doors I have to kick down. I know better than anyone what it takes to get the job done by any mean necessary . At the pay-per-view, all I have to do is show up, pin anyone of you, regain my title and then I can show all yall a real reign of terror.”
Raven slammed her mic on the table before picking up a pen to sign her name on the dotted line. Flinging the pen on the table with enough force for it to bounce off and onto the floor, Raven plops in her seat with her legs crossed looking off into the distance… Like she said: She’s only here so that she doesn’t get fined.
Remaining silent the whole time the three hens bitches, Beth would instead pick up the pen to sign her name on the contract. Placing the pen down, Beth brought the microphone back up to her lips, now that the princess’ were done talking, it was time for the Queen to speak.
“The Glamazon” Beth Phoenix - “Let me explain one thing here to you catty women, honestly I feel none of you should even be in this situation. And honestly, I feel you think that I shouldn’t be either simply because I just came back. But, the fact I got this shot a bit after I come back simply means one thing - I am better then each and every one of you”
Pausing for a moment, Beth’s blue orbs focused in on Delta.
“The only reason you even won that Queen of Queens tournament was because I had left the company, because you know damn well if I was here and I was in there you wouldn’t have the chance to constantly bring up that fact because it’s the only thing you’ve ever really done in your career.”
Cracking her jaw, Beth would walk towards the champion, her eyes shifting up towards the championship - why the four women were here - before she made her eyes focus in on Mariah.
“Let me ask you a question, Mariah, ever be Glam Slammed? It hurts, ask anyone who I’ve delivered it to in the past. Actually, I’ll do one better for you - at the pay per view, I’ll give you an up close and personal Glam Slam so you can see how painful it is. Raven, Delta, I don’t care who I have to pin - I’m walking out of the pay per view as the champion, the real Queen can regain her throne, and I will run this Vixens division like it should be - being scared of the Glamazon. I respect each and every one of you, but respect doesn’t mean anything when it comes to a championship, and after the pay per view, you all can bow down to the Queen.”
Once she got done speaking, keeping the microphone in her hand, Beth would walk to the northeast set of turnbuckles [if looking from the entrance ramp]. resting her back on it so she could keep an eye on the other three Vixens.
Delta tilts her head and sighs before bending down to sign the contract. Delta places the pen down and crosses her arms for a brief moment until she picks up a microphone to respond.
Delta Madison: “Of course I see Rae and Beth are overconfident with this match. I don’t blame them. But Rae…”
Delta turns her attention to Raven who is sitting in the chair.
“I tried my best to keep everything afloat when you were snatching wigs from Morgan and Amber. And don’t act like you ‘forgot’ you were pleading me to be your friend and help you do your dirty work at the last Primetime. You see me as a threat and you can’t deny that Raven. And Beth, you may have scored a pinfall over me but don’t shit where you speak because honey… You DO NOT want to underestimate me. Why don’t you ask my final opponent in the Queens of Queens tournament. She BELIEVED she had this in the bag, but when I came out the victor she couldn’t handle it and took her tail between her legs. So Beth, I’m not letting one loss get to me, it’s only going to make me stronger because that’s how a true Queen shall act.”
Delta sticks out her chest with her hands on her hips waiting to be challenged by the Raven and Beth again. Rae’s eyes darted to Delta before she leaned over to retrieve her mic.
Raven: A threat?! That plastic Dollar Tree crown you’ve been wearing must be a little too tight. I don’t have to deny you’re a threat because you aren’t one. You keep on ‘believing’ that there’s some greater purpose for you in singles competition if you want, but I will be right there to knock some sense in that head and that crown clean off. Kinda like how I’ve done before, remember? Your debut against Moi. You looking up at the ceiling by the time the match was over. Just like Mariah has felt. And I’ve beaten tougher and stronger than this thing right here.
Raven pointed to Beth… referring to her as “this thing”.
Raven: In a way, I’m sitting pretty with wins over all you heffas and this match will be no different. But you know what, Deli? Out of everyone here, I can actually tolerate you. So how about when I win, I let you be the first to shake my hand before you wave goodbye on your way to the back of the line… again. Or better yet, have Daniel do it for you since he seems to be your go-to, lately, for when you need something handled.
Raven was referring to to Delta’s issue with an ex who might as well share a title with Voldermort. Raven’s scowl meet Delta’s as she just waited to see if she would reply.
Mariah walked over to the table slowly and signed the contract. She rose her microphone back up to her lips to retort.
“Unlike Beth and Raven, I’m not going to sell anyone short here. Ladies, we all bring something different to the table when it comes to this division, whether it righteousness, undying determination, power and beauty, but let’s not to forget about ruthless aggression. We all claim to the right to this title. Despite our differences, one thing is certain. We ARE the best that this division has to offer. We could end this contract signing by transforming it into a cliche and reduce ourselves into chaotic frenzy over this title… OR we could simply all walk away after signing this contract and lay everything on the line at Riot Control.”
Mariah put the pen down and looked back at each of her three challengers.
“I’m not opposed to either outcome as I’m no stranger to how these contract signings play out. I just like to think that we’re better at handling business than the boys do.”
Delta raises her hand to attempt to mediate her emotions and the situation as a whole after digesting the words Raven had spewed about her.
“Mariah is right. I’m not here to throw empty threats to get a raise out each other, which is clearly Rae is much familiar with. I don’t want to waste time with something so futile. I would rather release this ruthless aggression deep inside of me at Riot Control. And since I’m an advocate of showing what’s the cream of the crop in the Vixen’s Division I’d rather not play up those insecurities. Ladies, I’m looking forward to meeting you all in the ring. Let’s see who will walk out the ultimate champion."
Delta drops the microphone and proceeds to leave the ring with her arms up signaling that she is done with this contract signing.
Mariah: “Delta has the right idea. May the best woman win, ladies. See you at Riot Control.”
She smirked towards Serena Dent, “Sorry, but I think we let you and everyone else down who bet that this was going to end in a catfight.”
Raven stood up, fixing her mini while making her way to the ropes.
Raven: Ugh. I’m afraid I’m actually going to have to agree with her on this one. But you see what big blonde did before she left? She said ‘ultimate champion’. She already knows that I, The Ultimate Vixen, has this won. Now that this is over and I don’t have to share a ring with either of you any further, I’m gonna go and continued to be blessed. Beth you stay… Beth. And Marisol? You… eh.
Not wanting to waste another breath on either of them, Raven simply rolled her eyes and dropped the mic and motioned to leave. She doubled back to the middle of the ring as if she forgot something and smiled performing a bow to the audience getting a last rise out of them before she hopped out of the ring, strutted up the ramp and made her way backstage.
Being the last one remaining in the squared circle, Beth would take a few moments to gather her final thoughts before she would push herself up off the turnbuckle, bringing the microphone up to her lips as a soft chuckle would escape them before she spoke.
“You three can respect each other all you want, but at the end of the day I see how this division has gone downhill after I left a couple years ago. Yes, there’s talent, but when a lackluster person wins the Queen of Queens or whatever that dollar store tiara is suppose to represent and there’s a boring champion, then we all see the problem here, yeah?”
As she spoke, Beth would walk a small circle around the table, her eyes focusing in on the fans, shifting them to Serena before back to the fans as she would continue her thoughts.
“Back when I was champion, we had a women’s championship, and I swear to everyone, and everything - no matter what the management of this company says, let me win and I’m trashing that bullshit championship, tossing it in the trash where it belongs. In return, I will bring back the Women’s Championship simply because a woman of such beauty, strength and sensuality and utter destruction she can cause should hold such a title. I know they retired the Women’s Championship because no one was worth holding such a presque title, but since I’m back -- and I more than deserve to hold it -- it will make a comeback. You three can talk about your respect and all that bullshit, but I will show my dominance at Riot Control and rightfully gain what is mine - that championship. Then, the era of the true Queen will begin, and the era of the Glamazon will be back at full swing. At Riot Control, it’ll be Ding. Glam Slam. Ding.”
After she finished her comment, Beth would release the grip she had on the microphone, looking over at Serena with a smirk across her lips, a loud THUD being heard in the arena. With Fall Out Boy playing, Beth would exit between the top and middle rope before heading backstage. Tonight she spoke the words, and Riot Control she will honor her promise.
Serena Dent this entire time was sitting in an office chair next to the table and just listening to the passionate speeches delivered by both the challengers and the champion. Finally, when she was the only person left in the ring, she stood up, taking the contract in hand and looking through to see if everything was done properly.
Serena: Well, ladies and gentleman, I think more than enough has been said tonight. The contract is valid and we will all get the delight of seeing these four Vixen’s tear each other limb by limb at Riot Control for that shiny title.
Serena turns towards the monitor and motions to address the women already backstage.
Serena: Just keep in mind that your performance in this match will undeniably set the mood for the future of your career. So… Break a leg, ladies. Or a nose. Or a spine. And of course, just like always, since as we all know luck is for losers… Good luck.
"Walk" by Avenged Sevenfold starts playing through the PA system with Serena taking the contract and exiting the ring, ignoring the crowd’s reaction as the scene cuts to a commercial break.
Backstage, the cameras catch up with Team Machine mere minutes before tonight’s main event. Veda Scott is shown beaming from ear to ear.
Veda Scott: “Once again, the Machine stands tall with Riot Control on the horizon. I’m sure that the Undertaker and Jimmy Jacobs are proud of themselves for what they did to Carnage earlier tonight, but they have done nothing but unleash the beast off of his leash within the demon that is the Hardcore Monster. Come Riot Control, Carnage will lay waste to all that stand in his way and stuff the small remains of the Undertaker and Jimmy Jacobs in that coffin to be buried and never seen again in GZWA.”
Victor Phillips interrupts, “That sounds great and all, but shouldn’t you be changing into your ring gear for this thing? Our match is coming up next.”
Veda Scott: “My only so-called competition won’t be making an appearance tonight. I took care of that minor nuisance earlier tonight. I’ll accompany you boys to the ring, but I’m positive that you three won’t require my services in this match.”
Dequan Wallace: “Hang back and watch us do work.”
G-Money Briggs: “Those fools won’t know what hit them after we’re doing with them. Xion will be begging for us to take those tag titles from the MisFits since everyone else can’t get the job done.”
Victor Phillips: “That’s the problem right there with all of these people who think what Xion is doing for GZWA is wrong. The Machine are cleaning up GZWA for the better, educating mindless sheep - one day at a time.”
Veda Scott laughs, “CM Punk sure knows how to attract sheep like flies, just like the piece of shit he is…”
Victor adds, “That can describe what comes out of his mouth on a regular basis.”
Veda continues, “That IS the problem, isn’t it? CM Punk rallies followers and ‘fans’ behind him with sweet lies and broken promises like the false prophet and womanizer that we know him to be. The Machine isn’t united by a foundation of lies and secrets. None of us have to hide behind masks and agendas. What does Suicide have to hide that he conceals his entire body in a mask and costume? Who actually believes that medieval mumbo-jumbo that comes out of Gabriel Wingue’s mouth? And now Punk’s lies caused the MMA fighter who wants to be a wrestler to stick her nose where it doesn’t belong. CM Punk can bitch and moan all he wants but he only has himself to blame for what happened to Blake Harper. How many times do we have to embarrass him and his Scooby gang that they are better off taking career advice from Punk’s former partners-in-crime, Dean Maddoxxx and Lise Starr? Quitting was the best thing they have EVER done in their entire lives after being associated with CM Punk.
If his followers were truly loyal and committed to his cause, then they wouldn’t have left his side. No, we follow a higher calling. The Machine’s mission is our righteous calling. I firmly believe… no, I KNOW that what we are doing in The Machine will eventually open the eyes of everyone in the GZWA Nation to see the bigger picture. We’re not sitting idly by for change to happen. We’re getting up and making things change for ourselves.
If we have to slaughter a few sacrificial lambs to make that happen then so be it.”
Victor smirks, “I like how you think, Miss Scott. CM Punk and his playmates have been playing with fire for weeks now and it’s finally come to down to this. One match, one fight to end 2015. Tonight, we prove that the Machine are right and we finally shut CM Punk up - for good.”
The Enforcers nod in agreement. The normally silent G-Money Briggs chimes in, “I’m glad that the Straight-Edge Saviors decided to recruit a bitch to their ranks because it’s going to make it sweeter when we make them our bitches tonight.”
The group share an arrogant chuckle before walking off the scene as Primetime takes it’s final commercial break of the night before this blockbuster main event.
*** Main Event: Classic Survivor Series Match 4-on-4 ***
Team SES ("Best in the World" CM Punk, "Dark Savior" Suicide, "Modern Day Warrior" Gabriel Wingue, and Blake Harper)
vs.
Team Machine ("The Statement" Victor Phillips, Dequan Wallace, G-Money Briggs, and Veda Scott)
Prof. X: Welcome back, GZWA fans. Tonight’s main event is a traditional Survivor Series match between the team of the Straight-Edge Saviors and the opposing team of consisting of members of affiliated with the Machine. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the last match of 2015.
Francine: This match might be already in the Machine’s favor since we haven’t gotten an update on Blake’s condition since Veda Scott’s attack. Without Blake, it would be 4 to 3 advantage in favor of the Machine.
The Carter: Look, Veda Scott’s not even dressed for wrestling tonight. I guess she already knows that Blake hasn’t been medically cleared for this match. Poor thing, but I hope she gets well soon.
Veda Scott accompanies the members of Team Machine to the ring in her normal attire of a professional blouse and matching mini-skirt. Team Straight-Edge Saviors made their way to the ring next. CM Punk, Suicide, and Gabriel Wingue stop halfway down the entrance ramp. The trio points at entrance tunnel as Blake Harper arrives and joins her teammates. Veda Scott’s jaw drops down to the floor at the sight of Blake Harper.
Francine: What were you saying, Carter?
The Machine argue among themselves at the sight of Team SES with a full team to boot. Veda Scott takes off her glasses and kicks off her high heels, despite being dressed to compete. She surprises her teammates and the spectators watching by volunteering to start this match.
Veda Scott removed her glasses, kicked off her high heels, and despite not being dressed to compete for this match, she volunteers to start this match for the Machine and finish what she started with Blake Harper.
Prof. X: Looks like both teams are going to be gentlemen about this and let the women go first.
The Carter: I don't have a problem with that at all.
Francine: Oh please. We all know that you're just praying that Veda has a wardrobe malfunction out there.
Carter puts away his binoculars underneath the table and plays innocent, "I have no idea what you're talking about my dear Francine. Sue me. I love a woman with intelligence like Veda."
Francine: So you're into chicks smarter than you. You might want to diversify your standards as there's too many women that fit that criteria. Then again, you could work with that since it gives you more chances to get shot down.
The Carter adds, "And more chances to get lucky for New Years!"
The bell rung to start the match and Veda confidently strode over to meet Blake in the middle of the ring. She surprises Blake with her hand extended for hand shake.
The Carter: Well, Veda Scott is no stranger to the code of honor. She did work for Ring of Honor in the past.
Francine: But I wouldn't trust her as fair as I could throw her.
Blake looks down at the gesture and accepts. At the last second she withdrew her hand to the delight of the crowd and slick back her hair. Veda Scott angrily lunged at her with a Clothesline but Blake struck first with a Double Leg Takedown followed by a series of mounted punches. Blake rolls Veda over into a Figure-Four Armlock but Veda stretches her foot out on the bottom rope to force the rope break. Blake kept the hold locked in regardless as Referee Earl Hebner began the illegal hold count.
1...
2...
3...
Blake broke the hold and backed off per the referee's orders to allow Veda to get back to her feet. Just as Veda returned to a vertical base, Blake charged in with another Double Leg Takedown but this time, Veda was ready to react. She flipped Blake to the mat with a Judo Hip Toss and locks in an armbar of her own (Becky Lynch's Dishonor) with a confident smirk on her face.
The Carter: Is it wrong that this is rather arousing to me right now?
Francine: Next to me it's a criminal offense. You better think about Roseanne or Mae Young topless before you have something to be crying about.
Prof. X laughs, "Don't be like that, Francine. He might be actually enjoying the competitive aspect of the match between these two ladies."
Francine shook her head, "Let's not kid ourselves, professor. We know that Carter is going to have his hands full tonight getting to know himself."
The Carter: I'm right here you know...
Francine: Good, I want you know of my utter disgust with you.
Blake grabs the ropes to force a rope break of her own. Veda Scott argues with the referee concerning the break. Blake quickly recovers and dropkicks Veda from behind into the ropes and rolls her up on the rebound with a Schoolgirl Rollup.
ONE...
TWO...
THRE---WAIT!!!
Veda Scott narrowly avoids defeat by rolling through the pin attempt and back to her feet with Blake Harper in tow for a Snapmare Driver. Blake shoved Veda into the ropes to counter and caught her on the rebound with a Northern Lights Suplex. Blake Harper doesn't stop there as she locks in the Eyes Wide Shut (Bridging Arm Triangle Choke/Last Chancery) with Veda Scott in the middle of the ring. With nowhere to go, Veda Scott kicks and screams in agony.
Team Machine pours into the ring to intercept but Team SES is there to stop them all as Veda Scott submits to the hold.
Zoey Valentine: Veda Scott has been eliminated!
Veda Scott shouts at the top of her lungs, "I WASN'T READY!! I WASN'T READY!!! RESTART THE MATCH FOR THIS INFRACTION!!"
Referee Earl Hebner held his ground and points out of the ring, "Get out or get the rest of your teammates disqualified."
The crowd joins Team SES singing, "NA-NA, HEY-HEY GOODBYE!!" to make Veda Scott's face turn as red as her hair in anger. She stomps out of the ring and joins the commentary team at ringside.
Carter is first to greet her as she puts her high heels back on and slides her glasses back up her nose.
"You did amazing out there, Veda."
Veda Scott: What do you know? Y'know what? I'm over this crap. The Machine will STILL come out on top. I'm a delicate flower of a woman. I derserve to be thrown into a fight like It was an unfair advantage for Team SES from the start to have me face against a trained MMA fighter."
Blake Harper waves innocently at Veda Scott to fuel her rage even more, but Veda gets the last laugh for the time being as Dequan Wallace hits Blake with the Gore just as she spun around. Fortunately, Suicide tagged himself into the match just as Blake was reeling from the impact.
The Dark Savior propelled himself into the match with a Diving Senton, landing on Dequan's shoulders and riding the Enforcer down to the mat. Suicide hit the ropes and rebounds with a High Speed Kick (Sami Zayn's Helluva Kick).to the waking Enforcer. Dequan spung back up to his feet and tossed Suicide into the corner with a Tazzplex into the corner, leaving the Dark Savior into the tree of woe position. Dequan charged into the corner and sprung from the ropes with a Springboard Elbow Drop to drop Suicide to the canvas. Dequan makes the tag to G-Money before dragging Suicide to his feet. He performs a Backdrop onto G-Money's knee to execute a tag team variation of the Shoulder Breaker to the Dark Savior. G-Money kicks Suicide over flat onto his back in a clear display of disrespect before pinning him with his foot firmly planted on his chest.
ONE...
TWO...
NO!!!
Dequan Wallace and Victor Phillips knock CM Punk and Gabriel Wingue off of the ring apron as G-Money hurls Suicide back into corner like a lawn dart with a Snake Eyes. He dunks the Dark Savior out of the corner from the 2nd rope with a Crucifix Powerbomb and covers him once more.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!
Zoey Valentine: Suicide has been eliminated!
Veda Scott stands up and applauds her teammates, "See? That's how the Machine handle business. Complete and utter domination. The Straight-Edge Saviors won't even able to save themselves from what is let to come."
Prof. X: Domination is definitely the name of the game here. Suicide didn't have a chance at all.
Francine: He might want to change his name to "Suicidal" if he plans on continuing to cross the Machine in 2016.
The Carter: You would think he'd had enough after they light the poor guy on fire a few months ago.
Veda Scott: Well, you still keep coming back for more after women keeping telling you no. So obviously you both don't know how to take a hint and get lost.
Francine: I'm really starting to like you, Veda.
Veda: It's hard not to.
With Team SES down to CM Punk, Gabriel Wingue, and the still recovering Blake Harper, the odds are now even against the Machine's remaining forces of Victor Phillips, G-Money Briggs, and Dequan Wallace. The Modern Day Warrior enters the match for Team SES with a Missile Dropkick to both the Statement and Dequan Wallace, sending both Superstars flat on their backs. G-Money Briggs strikes with a Strong Right Hook, which seems to rock the Modern Day Warrior with the blow. In reality, Gabe uses G-Money's own inertia to flip him overhead with an Arm Drag. Gabriel Wingue then steps out onto the ring apron and launches himself towards the waking Enforcer with a Slingshot Float-over DDT (Kazarian-style) to plant G-Money face-first into the canvas. Gabe opts to take out the Enforcer out of the equation as he covers G-Money and Hebner makes the count.
Prof. X: The Modern Day Warrior has single-handedly taken on the remaining members of the Machine all on his own. That's truly an impressive feat on it's own.
Francine: To his credit, Gabriel Wingue managed to hold his own against the reigning World Heavyweight Champion in his first night back in the company.
Veda Scott: But he STILL lost... Excuse me for a second.
The Carter: Where is she going?
ONE...
TWO...
THR--NO!!!
Veda Scott sets down her headset and hops up onto the ring apron to interrupt the count. Veda's distraction bought the Enforcer the time he needed to power out of pin, sending the Modern Day Warrior flying across the ring. G-Money Briggs tagged out to the fresh Victor "Ironman" Phillips. Blake Harper didn't take too kindly to Veda's tactics and maneuvered around the ring to stop her. Veda Scott saw her in time and hopped down from the ring apron in time and made a break for it. Blake chased Veda around the ring, leading her into the road block known as the Enforcers. While Gabe was still shaking off the cobwebs, CM Punk inserted himself into this match and charged straight for the Statement. Victor swung with a Short Clothesline, which CM Punk easily ducks underneath completely before coming to Blake's aid with a Suicide Dive out of the ring into the Enforcers standing in front of her. That was the plan, but it didn't go as expected as G-Money caught the Best in the World and dropped him to the floor with a Belly to Belly. With Punk at their feet, G-Money elevated Blake Harper into the air with a Military Press before tossing her into Dequan's arms, who dropped her next to Punk at ringside with a Samoan Drop.
Prof. X: This isn't looking good at all for the Straight-Edge Saviors. Gabriel Wingue is going to have to pull off a miracle all on his own.
The Carter: More like a Christmas miracle. I don't think that even Santa Claus wants to stick his nose into this business.
Francine: He's too scared even to leave the Enforcers a lump of coal.
Back in the ring, the Modern Day Warrior connects with a Leg Lariat to the unsuspecting Statement after his attack missed it's mark on the Best in the World. Even though his teammates were down at ringside, Gabe had the crowd on his side chanting "YES! YES! YES!" as he lined up his target and struck with a Busaiku Flying Knee Kick. Victor stopped the Modern Day Warrior's attack short on arrival with a Spinout Running European Uppercut. The Statement dragged Gabe into position by his ponytail and slammed him to the canvas with a Tigerbomb. He pins his shoulders to the mat after impact with a kneeling pin.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!!
Zoey Valentine: Gabriel Wingue has been eliminated!
Veda Scott sat in front of the commentary table, leading her own personal "YES!" chant while the crowd boos the members of the Machine towering over the remaining members of the Straight-Edge Saviors at ringside.
Prof. X: This is just downright ugly.
The Carter looks down at Veda's ass seated in front of him, "I don't know what you're looking at but I've got the best view in the building. It's looking like Christmas came early for me already. Woo-Hoo!"
Francine facepalms shaking her head.
The Enforcers carry CM Punk onto their shoulders like a martyr and roll him back into the ring with the Statement directing traffic. He invites Dequan Wallace to finish the Best in the World off with the Bullet (The Pounce). Dequan gladly accepts the prize by tagging himself in and goes for the kill. Punk leapfrogs over the incoming Bullet in an act of desperation, causing Dequan to inadvertently crash into Victor Phillips instead. The force of the blow knocks Victor into G-Money off the ring apron and down to the floor on top of Veda Scott. CM Punk spun around the confused Dequan and hit the Go To Sleep on the lone Enforcer. He quickly pinned Dequan as the crowd counts along.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!!
Zoey Valentine: Dequan Wallace has been eliminated!
A disoriented Victor Phillips was already in the ring after taking the Bullet first-hand and the Best in the World wastes no time raising him on his shoulders for the same treatment as the already eliminated Dequan Wallace. The Statement managed to shake off the cobwebs and elbow Punk over the skull repeatedly until he dropped Victor. The Statement tagged out to G-Money Briggs while Blake Harper surprised the GZWA Nation by tagging herself in to assist CM Punk.
Francine: I stand corrected. Blake Harper is the one who should consider calling herself "Suicidal".
Blake Harper raced into the ring with a Diving Cross Body towards the incoming Enforcer. G-Money rolled through upon impact back to his feet with the Vixen in tow and performed a Spinout Powerbomb. Blake Harper counters with a Double Knee Facebuster to stun the Enforcer momentarily. CM Punk threw himself at G-Money with a Springboard Flying Clothesline to knock him off this feet. Blake came down from the heavens with a Slinghost Cross Body to the grounded Enforcer before tagging out to CM Punk, who delivered a Diving Elbow Drop to G-Money Briggs' heart that would make the late "Macho Man" Randy Savage proud. Punk makes the cover.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!!
The Statement races in to break the pin but Blake Harper is right there to delay him long enough with a Sleeper Slam to allow Punk to the get the 3-count.
Zoey Valentine: G-Money Briggs has been eliminated!
Veda Scott is standing at ringside and she's livid.
Prof. X: I think we're witnessing a Christmas miracle.
Francine: If the Machine has anything to say about it, this is going to end as the Nightmare Before Christmas for the Straight-Edge Saviors.
CM Punk prepares for another Diving Elbow Drop to the already grounded Statement. His flight plans are derailed by Veda Scott throwing one of her high heels at the head of the Best in the World. The Statement sprung back up to his feet, scales up to the top rope and performs an Avalanche Release Belly to Belly (Kurt Angle-style). Victor confidently covers the Best in the World while the referee makes the count.
Blake tries to make the break but Veda Scott pulls at her ankles from ringside to trip her up.
ONE...
TWO...
THRE---NO!!!
Once again, Veda Scott's jaw hangs open as Victor Phillips argues with the referee. Veda Scott wants results and she stood on the ring apron wanting results herself from the referee's incompetence. Blake Harper showed no fear standing up to the Statement with a Dragon Whip. He caught her foot in motion, but inadvertently spun her back to knock Veda Scott off the ring apron and down into the Enforcers who returned to assist the Statement. Victor tossed Blake overhead in a Release German Suplex out of spite. The Best in the World caught Blake out of the air in his arms - like the gentleman he is - spun her around and used her feet to kick the Statement in the midsection. Punk released Blake and dropped the Statement to the mat with an Uranage Slam and applied the Anaconda Vise. Blake Harper wanted to help as well as she locked in a Kneeling Inverted Sharpshooter to the Statement's lower body.
With the Enforcers and Veda Scott down and out on the ringside floor, Victor Phillips didn't have anyone to help him get out of this tricky situation. He had no choice but to submit to this combination submission hold, thus giving Team SES the win tonight.
Zoey Valentine: Victor Phillips has been eliminated! Since all members of Team Machine have been eliminated, Team SES are the last team standing and winners of this match!
Prof. X: There you have it folks. We wish you all watching in the GZWA Nation at home around the world a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Francine: From our family to yours, be safe and be merry. Just don't be anything like Carter for all of our sakes.
The Carter: HEY!!
Prof. X: See you all in 2016. Stay tuned for ReAction.
