Primetime opens with the Interim Chairwoman standing the ring, pacing back and forth after the footage from the ending of the previous broadcast that saw what seemed like a draw between the four competitors
GZWA Interim Chairwoman | “Scary” Mary Joyner: “During our last broadcast that concluded an excellent show full of the stellar action and athleticism that the GZWA product is known for, the four competitors already qualified for the Elimination Chamber match that will main event our upcoming Dead or Alive PPV ran into a roadblock of sorts. Our referees found themselves in a pickle where they couldn’t agree on the outcome of the match. Some said that Senor Vinnie was the winner, but others argued the point that The Doombringer was gripping the rope. Others said that Mike Bradley was the winner, but others disputed that Equinox’s foot was underneath the bottom rope. It boils down to the question of who is right in this matter?
You’ve seen the footage and I have reviewed the replays from multiple angles from the main event of our previous Primetime broadcast from every camera we had in the venue. I’m out here tonight to give my official decision on the outcome of that match since our referees on the sight couldn’t agree on the matter.”
She pauses momentarily as she listens to reactions from the crowd in anticipation before continuing.
“I officially decree that this match is a no contest. Therefore, there is no winner… But I’m not going to leave this matter at that. Far from it actually. Henceforth, I’m making these two title matches official for tonight’s show. Since the outcome between the exchange of The Doombringer and reigning GZWA World Champion Senor Vinnie was inconclusive, they will face one-on-one in tonight’s main event with the GZWA World Championship on the line. In the same vein, Mike Bradley and Equinox have unfinished business, so they will settle that tonight with the Television Championship on the line… And that match will kick off tonight’s show.”
Mary motions to exit the ring until the sound of a familiar Superstar’s music fills the arena…
The crescendo of “Hang ‘em High” by Dropkick Murphys signals the arrival of The Bradley Clan to a raucous ovation from the Dallas crowd. As they approach the ring, they surround one side each, hop up on to the apron and over the top rope, then surround Mary slowly.
Prof. X: “Mike has made it perfectly clear that he feels he should be Television Champion right now, and I don't think he's happy with what he just heard.”
Francine: “These boneheads are about to make their dumbest mistake ever if they don't back off from the Chairwoman right now.”
The Bradley Clan stare down Mary, then produce microphones from their hoodies and address the crowd.
“How's it hangin’, Dallas!”
“A little to the left!”
“Yeah, that's what I like to hear!... although I don't like what I just heard from you, Mary.”
The crowd boos as Mike continues.
“You know Mary, I told you to make the right decision, and obviously you didn't listen. Clearly the bad decision making apple doesn't fall far from The Machine’s tree. Because not only would seeing what I and everybody else in the whole damn world saw result in me becoming the first ever three time GZWA Television Champion, it would also be, as the saying goes, best for business - because when The Bradley Clan is on top of GZWA, GZWA is on top of the ratings!”
The crowd pops in support of Mike.
“And not only that, it would also be best for the welfare of the roster… specifically Equinox…”
The crowd murmurs before Mike continues.
“Because after all the shit he's talked about my legacy, my skills, and my accomplishments, now I have to kick his shit-talking ass and take that title a second time!”
The crowd cheers as Mary goes to reply, but Danielle lifts her kendo stick to Mary's lips to cut her off.
“But that's not the only reason we're down here, Mary. Speaking of the top of the company, did Crystal Hilton or whatever her name is this week piss off someone in the top brass? Is that why you're having me throw her frail ass around the ring AGAIN? I never thought I'd say this, but I think she's suffered more than enough. And I think I've more than proved my point that I'm worthy of challenging Vi Malkov for the Women's Championship!”
“And speaking of pissing off the top brass, is that why Jesse and I have been on the sidelines for so long? Did my destruction of Ryan Kendrick twist somebody's knickers up there? Because while we're happy to see Mike and Danielle succeed, we're not the types to sit idly by.”
“So maybe you could kill two birds with one stone and put Kris and I in a tag team match… perhaps with implications for a future shot at the tag team titles?”
The crowd erupts into a “Yes!” chant, but Mary just shakes her head.
Mary listened to the Bradleys’ demands with her arms folded. She then slaps the kendo stick from pointed in her face and raised the microphone back up to her lips.
“Are you done? Because I thought that I would have made this a civil matter without any of usual belly-aching and moaning from the inmates of this asylum. Since we’re going that route, I got jokes too. I see that reading comprehension and hands-on learning are shortcomings shared universally across the board in the Bradley family, so allow me to explain this clearly…
First of all for you, Danielle. You want to know why you’re not in the Women’s Championship match? YOU LOST THE TRIPLE THREAT MATCH FOR A NUMBER ONE CONTENDER SHOT. Talia Areano beat you and Zora Graysen the same night that Crystal Hilton lost in her title opportunity for said title. You want a shot? Then I see no problem in allowing the winner of you and Crystal’s match tonight getting the next crack at the Women’s Champion. Now, if you want to continue ATTEMPTING to threaten me with that toy pointed at me, I can revoke that offer altogether.
As for you, Mike, I honestly don’t have a problem with you nor your previous achievements as a 2-time Television Champion. If you want to make it your personal business to prove Equinox wrong and become a 3-time champion then be my guest. You have the chance to do so tonight. The Machine is dead and buried. If they were still around we wouldn’t be having this delightful conversation right now about how to call that result fairly down the middle. I’m not here to hold anyone back, I’m merely being an equal opportunist in the matter. I thought I was doing you and Equinox a favor with the title match set for tonight by killing two birds with one stone - 1) Equinox gets the challenge that he’s always thirsting for, and 2) you get the opportunity at GZWA gold once again.
Last but not least, Jesse and Kris… I haven’t forgotten about you both to be quite honest. I suspected the Bradley Clan wanted a shot at the GZWA Tag Team titles, but what configuration of your faction was the mystery until your significant others found themselves in the conversation for the World and Women’s titles respectively. I have no problem with you two competing in the tag team division. With that being said, I’ll take that tag title opportunity under consideration. I’m not going to allow you to just come out here and get your way like a bunch of spoiled brats. If you win a few matches against the teams I can arrange to match you up against, only then I will assess the means to match you up against the reigning Tag Team Champions.
Look, I’m not the bad guy here. I’m not cockblocking you from the title with a wall of muscle-bound meatheads standing in your way and calling them my ‘protection’. I’m standing out here alone and without a single weapon in my hands. If anything, the lot of you four are the ones who look like some sort of gang of bullies.”
Senor Vinnie’s music hits as the world champion walks out to the arena all pissed off, he does not look at any of the other people that already came out as he just stares at the championship belt that he has in his hands.
Senor Vinnie: Aren’t you just upset that we are being put through this???
He nods his head as apparently his championship belt is talking back to him.
Senor Vinnie: I agree, they didn’t even asked us how we felt about all of this!! Well I have only one thing to say about that to our boss!!!
He stares towards Mary for a few moments before huffing and staring back at the championship belt and grins.
Senor Vinnie: Yeah you were right, she does have dimples. But that’s beyond the point!! I am furious about the fact that some knucklehead is rewarded a championship match just by facing me after I pinned him? Oh so what his boots were having some extra long steel toes that accidentally touched the ropes!!
Francine: Is he serious???
Senor Vinnie: You know…, I expected more from you mami Mary. Seriously, I expected you to hand me over the key to the kingdom and just never defend the title until someone actually achieves to something. like…., I don’t know…. Doombringer being ableto clip his toenails??? Mike and his goons being able to wash his back??
He grabs his nose as if to say Mike is smelling a mile away.
Senor Vinnie: But to show the world I am a fighting champion and you also love to embarrass your roster?? I will do it… as long as you go out with me.
Francine: Oh brother…
Mary shook her head in disgust.
“Even though I’ve had far more disgusting offers than that from the opposite sex, I’ll have to decline from accepting Amanda Cortez’s leftovers and hand-me-downs. I have a better proposition for you, ‘champ’...”
She motions with her finger for him to come closer.
She then shouts into the microphone, “How about you defend your championship tonight like a real man and put your money where your mouth is!!!! If you’re so great, then you have nothing to lose against a former GZWA World Champion. Imagine what that would resonate about your title reign if you happen to defeat the first recorded World Champion in history of GZWA?
Then again, you could always just walk away and refuse to take part in this match tonight… It’s your choice after all, but just know that I will accept that as your official forfeit of the title.”
Mary just shrugs her shoulders nonchalant, knowing that she has Vinnie between a rock and a hard place.
The lights go out as the sound of a bell tolls throughout the arena, followed by a loud cheers by the crowd. Smoke fills the arena as the bell tolls two more times before the lights are dimmed blue as "The Phenom's" music begins to play over the loud speakers. Shortly, The Legend himself emerged from the smoke, revealing himself to the crowd resulting in a massive pop.
Prof. X: The Deadman Cometh! A moment that we've all been waiting for, The Phenom, The Doombringer is here on Primetime!
Francine: and he's here for one thing and one thing only, you can bet he'll have choice of words for his opponent here tonight!
The Doombringer makes his slow walk down the ramp, before making a stop once he makes it to ringside. He looks up at the ring and the individuals that stand within it, before raising his hands for the lights to come back on.
Prof. X: You'd think that I'd be used to that entrance by now, but even more now I'm feeling the classic cold chills
The Deadman slowly makes his way up the stairs, holding his hat as he climbs through the ropes, and then stands firm before looking over at Mary, Mike, and then finally Senor Vinnie. He walks closer to him, and looks at him dead in eyes, glaring at him with looks that could kill before walking to the edge of the ring to grab a microphone. After standing still for a moment, he slowly turns back around, looking at Vinnie with a microphone in hand and finally opens his mouth to speak.
"I stand here tonight for one reason, and one reason only.....I came to issue a warning. In tonights Main Event, you and I will do battle for the World Heavyweight Championship Title!.....You will try with all of your might to keep to keep the Holy Grail from Death's Grip, and you will fail. Being the excuses you've made as to the ending of last weeks match, you've seemed to already lost a grip on a reality.....Tonight,you're going to lose your title....and then at the Pay-Per-View, the Dead will walk into "Dead or Alive"...very much alive and!...Tonight, I will reclaim what is mine, that much is clear....but it doesn't end there, as I'm going to reach in....and I'm going to rip what is left of your soul right out, and I'm going to officially leave it in it's final resting place. Vinnie, you're reign is over as well as your excuses, tonight is where it all ends for you, and where my true resurrection begins. It is now time, for you to....Rest....IN....PEACE!!!!......."
The Doombringer rolls his eyes into the back of his head before glaring at Senor Vinnie once again before dropping the microphone. He heads over to the ropes and exits the ring. He makes his way up the ramp, before disappearing into the smoke.
Mary looks more than annoyed at this stage as she throws her hands up and asks, "Is there anyone else who is looking to offer their two cents on this matter since it seems to be an open invitation to this town meeting."
As if things couldn't get more hectic we begin to hear Jungle by X Ambassadors. Per usually you assume Kendall would be out there with them tonight. However, he has his own situation to deal with. Tonight they were Kendall free as Jayson was giddy about it. Ahem...a voice who was trying to break the distraction. A tapping noise from the mic was heard.
staring in the crowded ring. Fixing his jacket. His partner-in-crime Chance was standing right next to him with a grin.
Now that we got your undivided attention, I gotta say, Mary Poppins, I'm surprised it took you almost two goddamn years to finally have a one on one conversation with me. I'm flattered really,
Chance remained silent. He knows by now that once he gets started there's no stopping him.
By now I'm sure you know who I am? Yes? supporting his championship over his shoulder. But I-I know what this is about.
He pats Chance's shoulder squeezing it.
Chance, you've been a great partner to me over the past few weeks,but it's now time I FINALLY get my World Heavyweight Championship rematch right?
saying excitedly as Chance whispered in his ear.
Oh...balls
Making an ass out of himself.
The monkey's in the back can edit that right? Anywho, who are these jabroni's in the ring thinking they have what it takes to outshine me? If I wasn't a married faithful man Mary, believe me I can go a few rounds, he winks, clearly losing sight of the task at hand. Mary could be seen rolling her eyes in disgust.
Ahem,right. The reason why we're out here. staring confused at Chance.
W-why are we out here again?
Well,if you were even paying attention to what Mary was saying.
Please, since when do i ever pay attention to anything other than what my wife has on?
TMI dude
Chance said patting him on the back. He didn't didn't care.
Mary was talking about the Chamber for the upcoming Pay-Per-View Dead or Alive...
I didn't know Bon Jovi came outta retirement? referring to the Pay-Per-View name.
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride. I'm wanted dead or alive
An annoyed sigh was heard from Chance. Wishing he could apologize for getting side tracked very easily.They would hold up the whole show.
Right sorry. But nobody won that main event last week so technically...nobody should enter it but us.
They show off their championships. Chance had to agree.
That's if we were to enter. I,mean Mary #ICYDK by now, we've defeated every godforsaken team you threw in our paths. There was... no we can figure this out...and then there was....
Jayson starts racking his brain on who the former teams. Chance chuckles.
Well, we defeated the Honorable Princes...Konrad & Sam. Where are they now? Not only splitsville but they are nowhere to be seen since. We've humiliated them that badly to never show their faces in this company again. Hearing the disappointment reaction from the fans. Chance thought of something as he whispered to Jayson again. What do you mean Sam's fighting tonight? getting mix reactions from the audience. He's been out of commission how long? Do you know how much ring rust our former 'Crown Jewel' will have? He'll beg me to retire him for good like his buddy. he grins praying Sammy boy was watching this in the back somewhere. And lets not forget... we've fought the Frosts to retrieve these bad boys & the Clique to retain. Thinking they were a match for us? Pshhhh, all they're good at is addressing their accomplishments. And not to mention the age factor does creep up on you in this business, ain't that right grimm reaper?
Clearly directing their comments at The Doombringer, mocking him with his fake eyes rolling.
OOOOOOHHHHHHHH I'm SOOOOOOO scary looking. Face it Doom and Gloom,the only thing that's terrified about you, is wondering how long you have left before you croak for good. Where's Catrina when you need her? She is the keeper of the souls right?
Chance smirks showboating the gold.
Oh, don't think we heard your request girls
Jayson added.
your opportunity to fight us. It's cute and all,ready it is. BUUUUUTTTTTT we have to do a 'what have you done lately' segment....tick,tick,tick...tapping his watch waiting for them to response. Mary made the right call. Otherwise you'll be left in the dust. And be nothing more but a shredded memory. And btw Mikey #ICYDK the Shield called they want their knockoff gimmick back so they can transfer it over to OvE.
seeing Mike getting fired up with the girls holding him back. Jayson mocks the Scott Hall hand shake.
Oh, did I strike a nerve? Whine it to somebody who cares. Moving onto... he squints his eyes seeing a contender left to roast.
Oh, Chance,I don't see your former rival Equinox. Regardless of the fact, I'll leave this one too you,i wanna make the little piggy squeal...oops, my bad Justin!
Stepping aside to let Chance speak for the first time in the past half hour.
Equinox...you and I have quite the history. I, mean, I was the one who welcome you in with opened arms and then you stomped all over every opportunity we had. Pushing me aside just so you could hog all the spotlight.
The GZWA Nation listened on as Chance continued sounding a tad bitter.
I shouldn't be too upset about it now right? We both became successful champions. Some would say we're exactly alike. In a way we are. We like to showcase our art in mysterious ways. In fact, I'm going to dedicate this little number to you.
Everybody is obviously confused by what he meant. Jayson folds his arms watching Chance clear his throat. Warming up his vocals. Now bare with me,it's been quite sometime since I sang and I may be rusty on the lyrics...and Jayson, I hate you for this... I truly do, curious on what he meant by that as his eyes widen
A darkness hovers on the ring tonight...the wayward has shattered your highlight king is damaged,there's no boulevard of broken dream she'll disappoint you in the end, fading away into the night Don't believe him, don't let him escape otherwise he'll fade away in the obsolete
OMG Jayson covered his mouthed who was holding back his laughter. Knowing exactly where the song is from. Chance gave him a wolfish grin as he continued a bit more.
You bitch, you moan,you whine... Mike Bradley it's not that big of a deal. Well, now they know...let it-
Okay, dude I can't cutting his song off laughing in the process. Chance grins taking a bow.
Mary chose to interject before this situation got more out of hand with all of the colorful personalities standing in the ring.
"The reigning Tag Team Champions honestly have a valid point. Since the Television Champion is qualified to challenge for the World Championship at Dead or Alive, then it's only fitting that the Tag Team Champions have that opportunity as well and risk potentially tearing their happy go-merry little club apart with the promise of singles gold on the line. Who am I to deny them of being a part of this 'fun'? Think of this as a throwback to GZWA's Champion of Champions matches from the first few years of the promotion where all of the title holders would square off in a non-title opportunity for the bragging rights of being the best title holder following the outcome of that match.
The difference here is that the World title will be on the line in this match. There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. The five men who will be challenging Senor Vinnie for the World Championship at Dead or Alive in an Elimination Chamber match will be The Doombringer, Mike Bradley, the GZWA Television Champion Equinox, and the GZWA Tag Team Champions, Knightmare INC - consisting of Chance Justice and Jayson Heagerty.
As for tonight, we're starting things off with the Television Championship match. Mike Bradley, you want to prove a damn point and show that you're worthy of that legacy of the TV title, then you got your golden opportunity - right after the commercial break once Equinox gets out here."
GZWA Television Championship Match
“The King of Highspots” Equinox © vs “The Next Level” Mike Bradley
Prof. X: If you’re just tuning in tonight , this Television Championship match was made in lieu of the events of our last broadcast that ended with an indecisive outcome. Mike Bradley will challenge Equinox for the Television Championship in a one on one match while Senor Vinnie will defend the World Championship against The Doombringer in our main event of the evening.
Francine: Don’t forget that Talia Areano will challenge Vi Malkov for the Women’s Championship as well. We have a roughly 10 lbs. On the line here tonight.
The Carter: The only champions who don’t have their titles on the line here tonight are the Tag Team Champions consisting on Knightmare INC and as we could see from before the commercial break that they have a chip on their shoulders tonight.
Francine: Can you blame them? They successfully defended their titles and don’t want to be left out of the conversation when it comes to this massive title opportunity set in stone for Dead or Alive. Mary was wise to grant them the opportunity to compete in that match.
Prof. X: Knightmare INC won’t be the only champions competing for the grandest prize of them all. Equinox has sought out to become a double champion since returning to GZWA to capture the Television Championship. He has his eyes on fulfilling that goal at Dead or Alive.
Francine: He has to get past the roadblock known as Mike Bradley, who is a two-time Television Champion in his own right. According to him, that title is already rightfully his.
The Carter: From those wars that he had over the title against talent such as Amanda Cortez, Genesis, Daniel Widdel, and Chris Matthews, he’s not mistaken. He’s got a right to challenge for that title just as much as anyone else on the current talent roster, even more so in some cases.
The match starts off after commercial break with both Superstars motioning to shake hands for the Code of Honor. Mike Bradley revokes his hand in the exchange to Equinox, causing an “Ooooohhh” to erupt from the live crowd. Equinox took this gesture as an open invitation to force Mike to receive a different kind of pleasantry, in the form of the Black Mask Kick. To Equinox’s surprise, Mike caught his foot in motion and applied an Ankle Lock. The Television Champion immediately reached out towards the ropes in hopes of forcing a rope break. Unfortunately, Equinox couldn’t reach the ropes as the Next Level dragged him back towards the center of the ring, but Equinox manages to kick Mike off of him to break the hold during this process. Mike reels back and rebounds from the ropes. He connects with a Shining Wizard to the waking Equinox as he’s sitting up from the canvas. The Next Level leans back into a pin in a cocky manner after the impact.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!!
Equinox rolls through back to his feet with Mike Bradley positioned onto his shoulders for a Cartwheel Death Valley Driver, but Mike elbows him repeatedly out of protest. Mike then grabs onto the ring ropes to escapes out onto ring apron. Equinox motioned to continue his attack, but was met with a firm Pimp Slap to Equinox, who spun around from the blow and retorts with successful Black Mask Kick. The blow left Mike stunned but he has one hand remaining on the ropes that’s barely preventing him from falling to ringside. Equinox remedies that situation with the Rising Revolution (Corkscrew Flipping Neckbreaker) out of the ring and over the ropes onto Mike struggling to remain standing on the ring apron take him down to the ringside floor by force.
Prof. X: It’s death-defying maneuvers like that which reminds us why Equinox is a fighting champion.
With both Superstars out at ringside, Equinox picked up the Next Level from the ringside floor with a Deadlift Release German Suplex, throwing him head-first into the steel steps. There was no mistaking the impact of Mike’s head bouncing off the unforgiving steel echoing throughout the arena. Equinox then proceeded to roll him back into the ring. He forced Mike back to his feet with a Rainmaker setup, which drew Mike into position for the Spanish Fly but the Next Level instinctively flips Equinox instead with the Final Boss (Spanish Fly), leaving both men down and out on the canvas. The official has no choice but to start the Double KO count.
1…
2…
3…
4…
5…
6…
Neither man wasn’t going to allow this match end right here. The Next Level was no stranger to pain and found the means to shake off the cobwebs in order to be the not only the first man back to a vertical base, but the first one to return on offensive. Mike Bradley closed the gap between himself and the waking Equinox with a Super Kick. Much like the Next Level at the start of this match, Equinox caught Mike’s limb and rolled through into an application of the Calf Killer. In a similar move in the same vein of Equinox’s earlier strategy, Mike attempts to reach the ropes for a break, but Nox releases the hold to deadlift Mike into a Bridging German Suplex to pin him back in the center of the ring.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE---WAIT!!!
Mike escapes the bridge by rolling backwards and performing a Jeff Hardy Leg Drop into a pin reversal of his own.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE---NO!!!
Just as these two Superstars have reached a stalemate, the members of Knightmare INC (Chance Justice and Jayson Heagerty) storm the ring. To the surprise of the GZWA Nation, Equinox and Mike Bradley quickly return their feet and find themselves working together to fight them off. They strike in unison, flooring the incoming Chance Justice with a Double Dropkick. Equinox arms himself with Chance’s discarded steel chair and aims for the remaining Jayson Heagerty. Equinox’s hastiness proved to be his downfall as Heagerty moves out of the way and out of the line of fire, causing the King of Highspots to hit the Next Level instead. Since Knightmare INC never made contact to the competitors in the ring, the match was still going on. The referee gives the signal to ring the bell, thus ending this match via disqualification with the victory awarded to Mike Bradley in the process by Equinox’s use of the foreign object.
Zoey Valentine: “As a result of a disqualification, the winner of this match is Mike Bradley, but the GZWA Television Champion is STILL Equinox.”
The Champion by Carrie Underwood starts blasting throughout the arena. Out comes Kendall supporting a new look here tonight. He's all business here as he enters the ring. Everybody knows why he is wasting time. But they don't know the half of it. After asking for a Mic he paces back and forth to shake the nerves. Before speaking for the first time inside the ring.
Now, I know a lot of people may know me through associates, but tonight that's going to change. The reason why I came here to GZWA, the reason why I believed three men who could be a threat in this professional business, is because despite to contrary belief, I am good at what I do. Whatever i wanted to be, I pushed my ass to the top.
Kendall takes a pause. Clearly half of of his fans don't seem to care about the crap pouring out of him. As a long shot shown most of them being on their phones ignoring him.
Oh, I see what it is, because Jayson said whatever you believe. Nothing I have to say matters anymore right?
A smirk appeared on his face.
What if I told you, i have proof of who attacked your beloved future hall of fame Genesis? Would that peek a interest and pull you away from those phones for a few minutes?
Staring at them once more seeing most of them somewhat intrigued.
Oh,now I got your attention...
He gets interrupted by the sound of Justin Lockhart. Who storms his way out here.
Justin, I appreciated you coming out here to, uh… why exactly.
I know why you're out here, Knight.
Using his last name.
For the life of me I got to tell you, thanks… but no thanks.
Clearly Kendall and fans are confused.
Uh, no thanks to what? You don't wanna know who ambushed Genny? I thought we were going to go with the plan we had in motion.
Holding the mic down as they talk among themselves.
The plan has nothing to do with it. I'm going to tell everyone the true people behind this.
He starts to say before Kendall cuts him off.
Heh, okay you're confusing me.
No need for confusion Kendall, an unwanted voice said throughout the arena. Justin, I think it's time.
The voice told him. Kendall was going to speak again, until Justin knocked Kendall out cold laying him on the mat.
You stupid moron!
He chuckles.
I did it! I laid out that fat drunk.
He tells him. Boos started to fill the arena after his confession. Justin smirks as he speaks loudly over them.
I'm so sick of all this!. Playing by the rules. He started pacing back and forth. Where did that get me? It got me jack! So now I do what, whenever I to. I'm not taking orders from a manger the likes of you. I give the orders now.
But he isn't alone…
Said the voice. The lights go out. When they come back on, Kendall was gone. But a new superstar entered the ring. He grins patting Justin on the back.
I know everybody's wondering who the hell I am. Tweeting, searching everything you can. Let me speed up the process for you. The name's Casey Angel. And it shouldn't take a genius on why it sounds familiar. I bet some of you are surprised to see me, others confused on who I am. All will be revealed in due time. But for some of you I will be seeing very soon.
As he was giving a hint on who those specific people were. Justin smiles, as he gives the man a hug leaving a lot of questions to be answered.
The lights in the arena go dark and the audience gets quiet not knowing what is going on when
"Ready to Go (Pepsi Version from the Empire soundtrack)" and a man's voice begins to scream
"Put your hands up and just turn up the bass" is shouted through the speakers and in the arena and a multi-colored blast erupts on the big screen only to reveal a Lion's head wearing a crown then gradually the name Samuel Chatman in big gold letters appears. Samuel is pushed high up into the air by a mechanism in the stage and he lands on his feet and raises his arms up in the air.
The crowd erupts in cheers as he stands on the stage with a black bandana with white designs on it wrapped around the bottom of his face. He lets the anticipation build as he stands at the top of the ramp with his hand up before he folds his arms and let's a cocky smirk begin to creep on his face.
Prof. X: Oh my, it can't be...Francine: Oh but it is. It is the long awaited return of the GZWA's own "Crown Prince".The camera cuts to the commentary team. Prof. X looks shocked while Francine has her eyes glued to his pants which had fallen a bit with the jump up into the sky and the landing. The Carter folds his arms and rolls his eyes and mumbles:
The Carter: I mean...he ain't all that. HmphAs the words "got my eyes on the prize" ring out through the arena Samuel pulls his pants up a little bit still showing the top of the V in his midsection before slowly walking down the ramp with a slight bounce in his step as he dances with the music as he gently bites his bottom lip. He comes to a complete stop on the ramp and sways with the music as it says
"I grew up, stood up, and now I'm ready to go. Ready, set, go. I'm ready to go. Ready, set, go, I'm ready to go, go go. I'm ready to go, go go."
After the shout of
"Put your hand up and just turn up the bass" is heard, he jumps up in the air again and lands and squats down as he rocks his right shoulder while pumping his fist up to shoulder level and then jumping from side to side while heading down the ramp more. As the music slows back down with "Said I can't deny" he bobs his head to the beat as he heads over to the crowd where a group of children were beckoning him for a selfie opportunity. He smiles as they all pat his shoulders and get their photos.
Sam makes his way back to the center of the ramp and continues to slowly dance and bounce his way to the ring and slides into ring towards the center of the ring and when the song reaches the lyrics " I grew, stood up" He stands up in the center of the ring and extends his arms out and slowly puts himself on display as he begins a slow circle to let the crowd soak him in. He extends his hand out like a true prince and is tossed a microphone. The music finishes and the audience is still cheering. He pulls the bandana down and it sits around his neck and he flashes a sexy smile at the crowd before slowly licking his lips and gently biting the bottom lip. The girls in the audience scream and Sam let's out of silent laugh. His deep baritone voice fills the arena.
// "The Crown Prince" Samuel Chatman //
Y'all act like excited to see a brutha or something.
The crowd cheers as a half smile appears on the face of "The Crown Prince". He walks over to the turnbuckle closest to the ring bell area and climbs to the second rope while resting his right foot on the top turnbuckle and shouting.
// "The Crown Prince" Samuel Chatman //
Are y'all ready to go?
The crowd erupts again and he puts his right foot on the second rope as he lets his arms hang as he stares out into the crowd before throwing his hands up twice and hopping off the ropes with a 180 degree spin.
// "The Crown Prince" Samuel Chatman //
Y'all have no idea how good it feels to be out here with all of you again. This is the best feeling in the entire world..alright let's be real..one of the best feelings in the world because I can think of a few other intense feelings that I cause in people.
Samuel turns and winks at Francine who blushes and smiles as she leans back in her chair with a eyebrow raised as she sees The Carter shaking his head. She smirks and holds her hands up innocently as she shrugs.
// "The Crown Prince" Samuel Chatman //
So tonight LADIES...and gentlemen, I am not here to dredge up the past. We all know I got one but what I am here to do is do exactly what the lyrics in my entrance music say and that is show everybody what they should already know, that I'm READY TO GO!
Samuel dances in place moving his torso and his shoulders from side to side while nodding his head. The crowd is eating it up as their favorite babyface wrestler stands in the ring looking at all them with an air of confidence and a swagger they haven't seen in quite some time.
// "The Crown Prince" Samuel Chatman //
As you can clearly see, I've been training night and day to prepare for this very moment.
Samuel runs his hand down his washboard abs which causes the cheers from the women and some of the men in the audience.
// "The Crown Prince" Samuel Chatman //
I'm at my absolute best right now and I truly am living my best life. I have plans and I'm going to go places, with your support of course.
Samuel has to stop speaking as the crowd erupts in a "You still go it" chant. He bows to his loyal subjects in the audience.
// "The Crown Prince" Samuel Chatman //
I don't expect to be thrust in a title picture soon because of my past but I do want to put everybody from the janitor to the GZWA World Heavyweight Champion Senor Vinnie, that this world is still mine and I'm going to stay on my grind. My eyes are definitely on the prize. So if that means I have to take down every guy in that locker room to get to the top then I'm going to ride this star and I'll ride it as far as I can. Watch me soar fellas. Cause I'm Ready to Go!
Samuel hands the microphone to the ring announcer as the crowd cheers and he makes his way to his corner to await the arrival of "Weapon-23" Ryan Kendrick.
Singles Match
“The Crown Prince” Samuel Chatman (return) vs. “Weapon-23” Ryan Kendrick
Prof. X: We definitely haven’t seen both of these Superstars square off in quite some time. I stand to be corrected but I think this is the first time that we’ll see these talents face off in a GZWA ring.
Francine: That could be true, Professor. Samuel Chatman took some time off after his tag team reign with Konrad Raab while Ryan Kendrick has had his hands full with both dealing with the Machine and then the Bradley Clan shortly thereafter.
The Carter: I guess we could call this turning over a new leaf in a sense right? Both of these guys are looking to hit the reset button and get the ball rolling again.
Prof. X: Yes, that’s a great way to look at it. A match without any strings or extra anxiety attached to throw your emotions into turmoil.
After the opening bell, both Superstars shook hands out of respect and proceeded to engage into a traditional lock up. The Crown Prince found superiority by wrenching Weapon-23’s arm back into a Hammerlock position. Kendrick found the means to escape this unfavorable position by performing a Judo Hip Toss to counter. He then closed in to connect a Running Enzuigiri, but Chatman laid back down to allow the maneuver to fly overhead. Kendrick hits the ropes and hits the brakes as Chatman sprung back up to his feet. Both men stopped in their tracks and meet in the middle of the ring to share a fist bump as the crowd approves that they haven’t missed a step here.
Both Superstars went back to business shortly thereafter as Kendrick struck hard with a Backhand Chop to the chest of the Crown Prince. Chatman returns the gesture before Kendrick serves him another as both men trade chops back and forth. It wasn’t long before Kendrick opts to end this exchange by going for a Side Effect. He successfully floors Chatman and immediately transitions into an application of the Anaconda Vise. Chatman couldn’t reach the ropes for a rope break but the Crown Prince improvises with a different strategy. Chatman rolls their bodies over while the Vise is still firmly applied and reverses the momentum into modified Last Chancery after Chatman bridges his body. After this turn of events, Kendrick found himself forced to break the hold to prevent prolonging his own agony in the hold.
Kendrick shook off cobwebs and struck prematurely with High Impact Spear to the waking Crown Prince. Unfortunately, the waking Crown Prince manages to stop him in motion with a Taz Capture Suplex. With Weapon-23 grounded, Chatman positioned himself onto the top rope and follows up with Crown’s Jewel (Shooting Star Press). Kendrick had that move scouted as he had his knees up in preparation to defend himself. While the Crown Prince clutched his abdomen in pain, Kendrick wastes no time applying the Scorpion Deathlock (Sharpshooter transitioned into a Keeling Inverted variation when the opponent nears the ropes) to take advantage of this situation. Even after Kendrick transitions into the kneeling Inverted variation when the Crown Prince crawled towards the ropes, Chatman barely manages to find the means to make the rope break.
The Carter: Both of these guys are putting it all out there. Hold for hold, blow for blow, move for move. It’s like they are trying to level each other up.
Francine: Sometimes that how the best rivalries begin. You don’t know how you size up against an opponent until you lock horns with someone who seems to have an answer for everything in your playbook.
Prof. X: And that’s when you start going above and beyond to redefine yourself and approach things from a different angle.
Kendrick wasn’t letting the Crown Prince off the hook, not by a long shot. He came down from the top rope with 7th Chamber ( "Superman" Bullhammer) to waking Crown Prince. Kendrick immediately goes for the cover.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE?
Kendrick gets up raising his arms in triumph until the referee points to Chatman’s foot on the bottom rope. No matter, Kendrick goes for the High Impact Spear again; thus time, ramming Chatman into the corner. Chatman powers out with a pair of double knees to Kendrick’s face to stagger him back. This allows the Crown Prince to perform the Royal Anarchy (Powerbomb) from out of the corner. Chatman holds the legs as his opponent is driven into the mat and flips into a bridge pin.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Zoey Valentine: "The winner of this match is Samuel Chatman!!!"
GZWA Women’s Championship Match
“The White Hawk” Vi Malkov © vs. Talia Areano
Prof. X: Only one other woman has defeated the White Hawk during her entire duration of her reign as the Queen of Queens Champion after winning Reina de Reinas Dos and that was our current champion, Fujiko Mine.
Francine: Speaking of which, I hear the Interim Chairwoman has been lining up the next challenger to face Fujiko at our next PPV. If she wants a chance at this Women’s Championship, then she better have her eyes locked onto this match at her possible competition, while at the same time, keeping her skills sharp to hang onto the Queen of Queens Championship until Reinas Cuatro.
The Carter: Only time will tell if she’s going to be able to match Vi’s record in that regard, but if VI’s still champion at point then Fujiko might be in for a run for her money. Lightning can’t strike the same place twice, can’t it?
Prof. X: Science has proven that myth to be false, but we’re getting ahead of ourselves here. The focus is on this Women’s Championship Match right here and now. Talia Areano is going into this match as the reigning PWU World and WWA TV Champion for those respective promotions as she faces the reigning and defending Women’s Champion, Vi Malkov.
Francine: The pressure is definitely on Talia here. She could walk out of here holding three championships tonight.
The Carter: Not to mention that Vi’s still out for blood after her loss to Fujiko. She’s not going to allow anyone to best her again, not by a long shot.
Prof. X: We’re definitely in for one hell of a match here tonight with so much on the line.
To get this match going, Vi starts off with a Spinning Back Fist right out of the gate. Talia evades the blow by going low with a Low Dropkick, bringing the White Hawk to her knees in the process. Talia hits the ropes and returns with a Shining Wizard, only to be caught in motion within a Running Liger Bomb from the White Hawk. Vi promptly pins Talia’s shoulders to the mat.
ONE…
TW---NO!!!
Talia rolls back to her feet and connects with a front dropkick to get out of the sitout pinning predicament while leaving Vi flat on her spine. Talia follows up with the Solar Shower (Double Foot Stomp) to pin Vi.
ONE…
TW---WAIT!!!
After Talia gains a similar result from her pin attempt, Vi escapes from that position with a Rolling Kneebar. Talia kicks Vi in the face repeatedly to force the White Hawk to release the hold. She then limps back to her feet only for Vi to chop block her down to all-fours. From this position, Vi picks up Talia within a Deadlift Release German Suplex. Just as Talia’s body goes over Vi’s head, she fell to the mat, catching Vi from behind with an Inverted Hurracanrana to turn the tables back into her favor.
Talia comes off the top rope with Diving Cross Body. Vi counters with her knees up and hits the Dante’s Descent (Release Sheer Drop Brainbuster) to retaliate. Talia wisely rolls out of the ring after the impact.
Prof. X: There’s no shame in taking a breather after a move like that. We’ve seen Vi put down a healthy amount of competitors with that very same maneuver.
Francine: Yeah, take a breather and reassess your approach thus far. It seems like these two women are going at it, move for move - blow for blow, trying to outperform the other.
The Carter: At this rate, someone is going to give eventually.
Prof. X: True and that’s when we’ll have our winner.
Vi Malkov joins her adversary out in the ringside area. She proceeds to expose the concrete floor in front of the commentary table. She raises Talia to her feet and motions to do execute the Dante’s Descent once again.
Prof. X: If Vi hits that, it really will be an execution out here!
Francine: That’s definitely going to bring new meaning to the Brainbuster maneuver.
Fortunately, Talia back tosses Vi over onto the commentary table to counter. Talia positioned herself on the ring apron and perform an Apron Dive 450 Splash, sending herself and Vi Malkov crashing through the commentary table. With both women laid out among the debris, the referee has no choice but to start the ring out count.

Talia dragged Vi back to the ring and rolled her underneath the bottom rope as she knew that she couldn’t win the title from a Double Count Out. With the White Hawk attempting to regain her bearings, Talia took control of the momentum. She beckons Vi to her feet before charging in with a Spear. Vi responded by staggering to her feet and stopping Talia in her tracks instantly with the Double Tap (Stepping High Knee Followed by Bicycle Kick). Vi then shook off the remaining cobwebs and raised Talia back to her feet in anticipation for the Black Song (Hammerlock position to Spinning Lariat / CM Punk's Pepsi Twist). Talia instinctively ducked the impact and counters with Reverse Neckbreaker from behind. Talia hits the ropes once again and returns with the Rush Hour (Sliding Forearm Smash) to Vi as she sat up from the canvas. Talia Areano repeats this maneuver two more times in succession before opting for one more. When Talia closed in, Vi headbutts her at the same time of impact, showing that she clearly refusing to stay down.
Talia clutched her face after their collision, which allowed the White Hawk to take her time returning to a vertical base. Vi hoists Talia onto her shoulders for a Lawn Dart and proceeded to charge into the corner. Talia’s survival instincts kicked in once again as she responds with a Backslide reversal to escape this unfavorable position. Once back onto her feet, Talia turns the tables with a La Reienera (Sarah Stock’s signature Modified Spinning Backbreaker Rack). Fortunately for the White Hawk, she was able to grab. the ropes to force a break. Talia doesn’t give up the ghost and charges straight towards Vi leaning against the ropes, only to get tossed overhead by Vi. Just as Vi was giving a sigh of relief, she didn’t take the time to notice what had transpired. Talia landed safely into the ring apron and slingshots herself back into the ring with a Springboard Stunner to the unsuspecting White Hawk.
ONE…
TWO…
THR---NO!!!
Talia is in disbelief at the near-fall. She raised Vi back to her feet and motions for the Slice of Heaven (Sliced Bread 2 - standing variation). Vi answers with a Release Dragon Suplex to instantly floor Talia. To the surprise of those looking on, she didn’t go for a pin afterwards. Instead, Vi drags Talia between the ropes and performs a Jumping Piledriver on the ring apron after a series of Trapped Knee Strikes. Vi confidently dusts her hands off and rolls Talia’s limp body back into the ring for a pin of her own.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE---NO!!!
Talia Areano doesn’t want to give up. Vi Malkov has had enough of this. She throws down her striking gloves and beckons the waking Talia to her feet. Talia slowly complies to this request as the White Hawk gifts her with the Essence of Life (Flying Guillotine Choke). Talia instantly drops to one knee as she shoulders Vi’s additional weigh combined with her own, but to the shock and awe of the GZWA Nation and the White Hawk, Talia powers back up to her feet with a Gourdbuster to counter the hold. Vi sat on all-fours attempting to get back up, only to receive a Solar Shower (Double Foot Stomp) to the back of the head to send her face-first into the canvas. It took Talia some effort, but she positioned herself onto the top rope and executes a Diving Moonsault over Vi’s spine and makes the cover.
ONE…
TWO…

Zoey Valentine: "Your winner and NEW GZWA Women’s Champion, Talia Areano!"
Fatal 4 Way Match
Rose Cortez (w/ “The Goddess” Amanda Cortez) vs. “The Tattooed Beauty” Laura Jackson vs. “The Siren” Katie Steele vs. “The Blonde Bombshell” Sarah Richardson
Prof. X: After that spectacular Women’s Championship Match, the women’s wrestling action continues tonight on Primetime with a Fatal 4 Way between four women looking to turn their luck around for the better.
Francine: A battle against the odds here isn’t going to make that an easy task to accomplish there, Professor. It should be entertaining nonetheless.
The Carter: Look at all of these knockouts we have assembled in this ring. When I say knockouts, I mean that figuratively and literally by the way.
Francine: Of course you do, horndog…
At the sound of the opening bell, Sarah Richardson charges past Rose Cortez and pounces onto Katie Steele with a Lou Thesz Press. In the same vein of spontaneous offense, Laura Jackson went for a Super Kick right off the bat, only for Rose to catch her foot within an Ankle Lock. Laura pivots around and connects with an Enzuigiri to free herself. She quickly returns to her feet and threw Rose overhead with a Tattoo This (Half Nelson Suplex) to send her crashing across the ring in front of the nearby turnbuckle. The Tattooed Beauty ascends the top rope and comes down with a Diving Guillotine Leg Drop. Rose rolls out of the way and dropkicks Laura in the face as she laid in a seated position to send falling down flat onto her spine. Rose then turned her attention to Katie Steele and Sarah Richardson choking each other on the mat.
She resolved their conflict in her own means in the form of a Fame-Asser to Katie and Sarah, colliding their both of their heads together in the process. Rose then performs a Standing Moonsault to Laura’s fallen body and makes the cover, clearly looking for early win.
ONE…
TW--NO!!!
Laura Jackson kicks out just before the count of two. Laura rolls back to her feet with Rose in tow and executes an explosive reversal in the form of a Lumbar Check (Back suplex double knee backbreaker) to Rose. The Pretty Rose wisely opts rolls out of the ring to avoid any possible follow-up. The Tattooed Beauty motioned to climb out of the ring to pursue her prey, but
Sarah Richardson struck first with a Release German Suplex from behind. Laura lands on her feet like a nimble cat and hits Splitting Headcase (Jumping Double Knees to the head) just as the Blonde Bombshell spun around. The blow left Sarah stunned and down on one knee. The Tattooed Beauty didn’t need an open invitation to know that she was ripe for the Nightie Night (Headlock & Body Scissors combination) that followed afterwards. Sarah Richardson wasn’t completely out of it though, as she manages to respond with a Fisherman Suplex. Laura Jackson’s shoulders land onto the mat, allowing Sarah to pin her into a bridging pin.
Before the referee could make the count, Laura Jackson rolls her shoulders and forced them both up onto their feet. From this position, she dropped them both back down to the canvas within a Swinging Neckbreaker to counter. Despite this last tactic from Laura, Sarah won’t let release her grip. Sarah raises them up and they repeat this Fisherman Suplex and Swinging Neckbreaker exchange once again with neither woman letting go of the other. Just as Laura and Sarah were standing back up to do this again, Katie Steele comes down from the top rope with Silence Is Golden (Top Rope Blockbuster) to both women. Katie Steele then excitedly covers them both, looking to steal the win here
ONE…
TWO…
TH----WAIT!!!
Amanda Cortez distracts the referee on the ring apron as Katie Steele looks up to see what’s going on. This distraction allows Rose to pull Katie off of the pin by the hair and into a Orton Backbreaker. While Katie writhes in pain from the spinal whiplash of that maneuver, Rose hits opposite ropes and returns off the rebound. In a bizarre twist of fate, Rose collides into the waking Tattooed Beauty that Katie dragged into the line of fire as a human shield. From here, the Siren applies the Shipwrecked (Seated Fujiwara Armbar) during the confusion. The hold isn’t maintained for long as Sarah Richardson breaks the hold with a Running Bulldog to send Katie Steele face-first into the canvas. The Blonde Bombshell sets a bomb off, literally as she crashes into Katie’s chest with the Titty Buster (Diving Foot Stomp to the chest). She then rolls her bitter rival over and applies the Credit Check (Full Nelson Camel Clutch).
The Blonde Bombshell has the Siren trapped in the center of the ring with nowhere to go. Katie Steele is mere moments away from submitting to Sarah’s hold. Just as Katie thought she couldn’t take anymore, Rose came from out of nowhere with the Thorn’s Edge (RKO). Fortunately for Katie Steele, the hold was broken, but Sarah saw Rose incoming at the last second to strike her with a Forearm Smash to the spine to prevent the maneuver from being executed. Sarah then proceeded to perform a Snap Release German Suplex, throwing Rose right into Amanda standing on the ring apron behind Sarah.
Francine: Well, that’s one way to take out the trash.
Sarah then capitalized on Rose staggering back to her feet after butting heads with her wife literally with an Overhead Uranage, which drops Rose’s body over the still grounded Katie’s spine. Rose rolls out to ringside to avoid the possible follow-up. Amanda Cortez helps Rose to her feet, but they both don’t see the Tattooed Beauty racing across the ring apron until it’s too late. Laura crashes into both women with a Running Cannonball Senton to floor both women. Meanwhile back within the ring, Sarah reapplies the Credit Check to the Siren. It’s not before Sarah forces Katie to submit to for the win.
Zoey Valentine: “The winner of this match… Sarah Richardson!!”
#1 Contender’s Match for GZWA Women’s Championship
“The Silver Screen Queen” Crystal Hilton vs. “The Guru” Danielle Bradley
Primetime returns from commercial break with this match already in progress as the match started on entrance ramp.
Prof. X: Welcome back, GZWA fans. During the commercial break as Danielle Bradley attacked Crystal Hilton from behind with her kendo stick as she was set to make her entrance to start this match.
Francine: You heard her out here earlier tonight. She’s itching for that #1 contender opportunity to the Women’s Championship.
The Carter: With the title already changing hands earlier tonight, I’m sure these ladies are itching to be the next one in line to get an opportunity at becoming the next GZWA Women’s Champion.
A video recap is shown of Danielle Bradley attacking the Silver Screen Queen from behind with a kendo stick in hand. She then floors Crystal with a White Russian Leg Sweep (w/ Kendo Stick Sandman style) onto the ramp.
The cameras then switch to the live feed whereas Danielle Bradley is dragging Crystal Hilton down to the ring. She leaned Crystal’s body against the corner post at ringside and posed ready to strike with the Swing to the Fences aimed right at Crystal’s head. Crystal narrowly manages to move out of the line of fire at the last second, causing Danielle to break the foreign object from the sheer force behind the blow. Crystal then connects with the Flashing Lights (Chick Kick) to the back of Danielle’s head, which causes Danielle’s head to bounce off the steel instead. Crystal quickly rolls Danielle into the ring to officially start the match and races to get the cover.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE----NO!!!!
Danielle Bradley shook her head, knowing that she wasn’t going out like that - not by a long shot. The Silver Screen Queen had other plans in mind as she went to apply the Withering Rose (Elevated Boston Crab). The Guru kicked Crystal back into the corner instantly in response and sprung back up to her feet with a point-blank D-Train (Elijah Express) to Crystal trapped in the corner. The Guru didn’t stop there as she circled back around and collided into Crystal with this D-Train (Elijah Express) off the rails again. She repeats this maneuver one more, but Crystal ducked out of the way, causing Danielle to get hung up into the ropes. Crystal met her with a Dropkick to the spine before wedging Danielle’s body between the ropes in the corner and performing a Diving Double Knee Drop (Sasha Banks style) to the Guru as she laid trapped across the turnbuckles.
Danielle rolled out of the ring after the impact to escape the inevitable pin attempt and to recuperate from the damage inflicted on her so far in this match. The Silver Screen Queen wasn’t letting the Guru off the hook. She hit the ropes and launched herself out of the ring a Suicide Dive, aimed right a the waking Guru. Danielle Bradley spun around and knocked Crystal right out of the air with a Super Kick while she was in motion.
From there, the Guru rolled the Silver Screen Queen back into the ring. Danielle then hit the ropes and returned off the rebound to leapfrog over Crystal Hilton’s waking body, connecting with a Running Bulldog in the process. With Crystal floored once more, Danielle ascended to the top rope and took flight in the form of the D-Bomb (Diving Corkscrew Moonsault) crashing over Crystal’s body. Danielle hooked her leg and counted along with the referee.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE---NO!!!
Danielle Bradley argues the count with the official out of sheer frustration briefly before turning her attention back towards the Silver Screen Queen. She raised her hand and took a mighty swing in anticipation of a Pimp Slap, but Crystal Hilton had enough as well. She managed to catch Danielle’s wrist in motion and wrenched her down to the canvas. Danielle fired back with a Clothesline in retaliation, but Crystal ducks the incoming blow, hits the ropes behind her, and rebounds back with Ultra Hurracanrana, trapping Danielle into another pin.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE---NO!!!
After the near-fall, Crystal Hilton found herself shoved off of Danielle’s body. The Guru then sprung back to her feet. She immediately closed the gap between herself and Crystal as she charged in with a Thesz Press. Crystal reacted instantly with a Snake Eyes to counter, dropping Danielle onto the turnbuckle behind her. Danielle’s skull bounces off of the turnbuckle, leaving her disoriented and stunned long enough for Crystal to follow up with a Reverse DDT to deliver another shock to Danielle’s system as well as more head trauma. With Danielle down in front of the turnbuckle, Crystal took the center stage for her grand finale as she performed the Lights, Camera, Action (Jack Evans 630 Corkscrew). The Silver Screen Queen successfully connects the maneuver and hooks Danielle Bradley’s leg into a pin.
ONE…

Tag Team Match
“Showstoppin’ Senorita” Mariah & Jaser Cruz (w/ Kalikah Kane-Fisk)
vs.
The Clique (“The Ultimate Vixen” Raven & “The Siren Assassin” Amber Torres)
The match starts with Jaser sneaking up behind Raven with a hug causing her to break out and laugh with him. She turns around to return the warm hug and plant a kiss on her forehead as Mariah can be seen showing her disgust at their affection. Now with the pleasantries over, they aggressively lock up and immediately Jaser takes control, quickly pivoting and wrenching Raven’s arm with a wristlock. Raven smiles and nods at Jaser, through the pain, as if to give him him props before rolling through, kipping up to her feet and reversing the wrench...yanking on Jaser’s arm, bringing him to one knee for extra measure. He tries reaching for the ropes but opts to use his free hand to front flip and run up to the top rope and flip off to fling Raven across the ring with an arm drag. Raven rolls into the corner, dazed, and turns back around as Jaser looks to follow up with a springboard variation of his Park It (wheelbarrow stunner) maneuver. Raven is able to use his momentum against him and turn it into a makeshift german suplex, making sure Jaser’s head lands on the middle turnbuckle. Raven doesn’t let up as she starts driving multiple MMA style elbows the the side of his head. She drops Jaser to the mat, limp, and covers only getting a quick 1 count. Jaser begins to recover as Raven stalks him for her next move. She instead goes over to Mariah knocking her her balance off with a running baseball slide kick to her legs. Mariah’s face bounces off the apron and the ref intervenes as Mariah recovers and the two begin their yelling war, looking to get at each other ASAP.
Inside the ring, Jaser has gotten to his feet, but didn’t notice Amber sneaking behind him with a tuNAsuB (low blow) while the ref is dealing with The Ultimate Vixen and Showstoppin’ Senorita. Amber kisses her baby bro on the head before he dropped to the mat in unbearable pain. Raven focuses on Jaser again with chops across the chest that back him to the ropes before Irish whipping him. Jaser reverses the whip and drops into a (RVD-like) split as Raven hops over. Jaser leaps up to catch Raven upon rebound with a hurricanrana pin, hooking her legs to only get a two count. Jaser stumbles to his corner where Mariah tags herself in and immediately comes in tagging Raven on the chin. Raven’s eyes widen in shock but she pops back up to tag Mariah right back with a stiff punch of her own directly to the face. Mariah briefly tends to her nose and comes back to trade slug shots with Raven eventually getting the upper hand with driving Raven to the corner. Mariah whips her opposite and charges right after. Raven lifts her boot to Mariah’s chin, but Mariah catches it and and drops Rae into a wide legged split. Mariah rebounds off the ropes to get extra traction to nail Raven with a running low dropkick to the face. Mariah follows it up with a Charmbracelet (Double wrist suplex) keeping it locked for a pin. Raven breaks it at two by locking her arms around Mariah’s waist and pulling them both off the mat and turning it into backslide pin. Mariah rolls out of it right at two. Raven gets up narrowly ducking Mariah’s clothesline and retaliates by driving her shoulder, hard, into The WIldfyre Vixen’s chest via shoulder block. Rae leans down to bow and slap Mariah across the face before running to the ropes for her next move. A heated Mariah pops up with just enough time to tail Raven with a clothesline that takes the both of them over the top rope to crash land ringside. With the ring-out count starting, Mariah gets to her feet first and grabs a handful of Raven’s hair. Rae breaks out of Mariah’s grip and punches her square in the throat then uses the break to grab Mariah’s head to ram her face first into the steel steps.

Raven manages to roll back in the ring at the count of six and tag in Amber.
From her position on the ring apron, Amber wastes no time injecting herself into this equation with an Apron Dive Ambercanrana to the waking Showstoppin’ Senorita. Mariah got her bearings about her in time to counter with an explosive Snap Powerbomb reversal, dropping her younger sister onto the ring apron. Mariah returns back into the ring shortly before the count of 10 could be made by the official.
Mariah reaches between the ropes to drag Amber back into the ring while she left writhing in pain in slumped down in front of the ring apron. Amber spun around and struck Mariah with a thunderous Bitch Slap. Mariah reeled back into the ring from the blow, which allowed Amber to follow up with a Slingshot Sunset Flip Pin to return back into the ring in a stylish manner.
ONE…
TWO…
NO!!!
Mariah rolls back to her feet and retaliates with a Blade Kick (Buzzsaw Kick) to seated Amber, only for her to respond with the Think Again (MaTrish evasion into a Dirty Pin). Once again, the Showstoppin’ Senorita found herself in a pinning predicament.
ONE…
TWO…
TH----NO!!!
Mariah kicked out of the pin and returned Amber’s earlier gesture with an Elbow Smash to the face to leave Amber hung onto the middle rope. Mariah kips back up to her feet and performs an O.O.C. (Moonlight Drive - Rope Hung variation). With Amber down on the mat, Mariah added some extra flair in the form of a Handspring Splash. Amber wasn’t having any of it as she countered with her knees up. Amber shook off the cobwebs and turned the tables once more as she floored Mariah with the Droppin' Dimez (Hair Pull Reverse Twist of Fate). Amber Torres stood ready and poised to go for the kill as she closed in on the waking Mariah with the #BYEFELICIA (Kinshasa). Mariah proved that Amber wasn’t the only one with a stylish evasion as she drops to floor with a breakdance split evasion (R-Truth style). Mariah follows up this performance by tagging to Jaser. Amber doesn’t stop as her momentum carries her to the ropes and she returns on the rebound to connect successfully with the blow from behind to the back of Mariah’s head.
Jaser reenters the match with a Diving Sitout Clothesline to Amber clocks Mariah to repay the gesture for his elder sibling. Mariah rolls out onto the ring apron in response to the head trauma she experienced. When Jaser hit the mat, he found himself trapped as Amber caught Jaser off guard on the impact with an application of The Bitchfit (Amber Locks her opponent in a Crossface/Scissored armbar combination). Fortunately, Jaser was close enough to the ropes for him to grab hold of them to force a rope break. Amber Torres was the first one back to her feet and she greeted the waking Jaser Cruz with first serving of the A-Town Down (Double Neckbreaker). Jaser reverses the second into a Night Slash (Moonlight Drive), taking a page out of his teammate’s playbook. He then proceeds to lock in the Black Widow to the waking Amber Torres.
Amber Torres drops to a knee in response to both attempting to burden Jaser’s additional weight while simultaneously attempted the endure the pain from this captivating submission hold. The Ultimate Vixen came to the aid of her partner in crime with a Diving Fame-Asser from the top rope. This broke the hold, but left both competitors down. Mariah’s still out of it as she laid on the ring apron while Amber Torres is able to make the tag to Raven’s outstretched hand with ease. Raven enters with a Whirly-Bird Headscissors to the waking Jaser, only for Jaser to respond with a counter in the form of a Backbreaker to buy himself a window to get a breather.
Raven was just starting to get back to her feet and turned around just in time to avoid an incoming attack from Jaser with a low Raetrix (MaTrish) evasion. Jaser hits the ropes, making sure not to hit Mariah during this process. At the same time, he’s unaware that Raven has already pulled herself up for her next move. Jaser narrowly ducks a Bitch Kick (Chick Kick), sending the blow to crack against Mariah’s skull instead as she launched herself into the ring off the blind tag. Jaser and Raven look at each other before looking down on Mariah as Amber tags herself in and quickly slides back into the ring for a cover.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
And just like that, Amber Torres picks up the win for The Clique. Jaser covers his mouth in faux concern over Mariah before leaning down to laugh in Mariah’s face.
Main Event: GZWA World Championship Match
Senor Vinnie © vs. The Doombringer
Prof. X: It’s the moment that you’ve all been waiting for, the first defense of Senor Vinnie’s World Championship reign! Tonight he will go head to head to whom many will regard as a first ballot potential GZWA Hall of Famer, The Doombringer, who was crowned the first ever World Champion in GZWA’s fabled history.
Francine: From all of the talent that has come and gone, fought and clawed their way to the top and shed their blood, sweat, and tears for that very title, it’s monumental that we have a match between the old and new guard like this to headline this broadcast.
The Carter: The Interim Chairwoman has decreed that this match will continue until we have a decisive winner, so get comfortable, folks. I think we’re in for a slobberknocker for sure.
Senor Vinnie introduced himself informally with a Clothesline to start this match. The Doombringer counters with an Arm Wrench and proceeded to follow up with the Deadman Walking (Old School). To his surprise, Vinnie catches The Doombringer off the ropewalk into a Bearhug to turn the tables of control of the momentum in this match thus far. The Doombringer endured the hold long enough to summon the strength to bell clap Vinnie’s ears repeatedly until he released the hold. Once freed, The Doombringer hits the ropes and floored Vinnie with a Running Implant DDT. Vinnie was growing desperate as he crawled over to the side of the ring facing what remained of the commentary table. Vinnie aimed to arm himself with his mariachi guitar to possibly get himself disqualified. Unfortunately for Senor Vinnie (fortunate for The Doombringer), The Doombringer stops him with a stomp to the spine to hinder and prevent that strategy coming to fruition. The Doombringer followed with up an Apron Leg Drop as Vinnie’s upper body hung out of the ring. Senor Vinnie’s body fell out of the ring and down at ringside after the impact, leaving The Doombringer to pursue his prey.
The Doombringer held his hand out extended in preparation for a Chokeslam, but Vinnie escapes that fate with a Reverse STO. The blow sent The Doombringer’s face bouncing off of the ring apron upon impact. That in turn stuns The Doombringer momentarily which allows Senor Vinnie to Irish Whip The Doombringer shoulder-first into the steel steps. Vinnie quickly rolls The Doombringer back into the ring and applies a Sitting Reverse Chinlock with his knee driven into The Doombringer’s spine. The Doombringer fights tooth and nail against the hold until he finally propels Vinnie overhead and across the ring to break it by force. The Doombringer then returned to his feet and charged to the waking Mariachi with a Running Big Boot. Vinnie reacts with a Snake Eyes to drop The Doombringer onto the ropes behind him. Vinnie follows up with a Diving Reverse DDT from behind and goes for the cover.

THR---WAIT!!!
Senor Vinnie breaks the pin to stomp on The Doombringer’s foot that was underneath the ropes and shook his head, not looking to make the same mistake and oversight that he made on our last broadcast. Vinnie plants his fist to The Doombringer’s forehead in the form of a Fist Drop before rolling The Doombringer over for the Papi Recliner (Steiner Recliner). It took some effort - notably an rake to the eyes from Vinnie - but Vinnie got both of The Doombringer’s limbs into position for the hold. Senor Vinnie’s face was full of confidence as he could sense The Doombringer fading within his grasp as the seconds rolled by. The Doombringer was down, but not quite out. He rose with Vinnie still on his shoulders and back - the Papi Recliner still applied - back to his feet and rammed his body backwards into the nearby corner post. After the first blow, Vinnie maintained his grasp. On the second, Vinnie lost his grip and slumped over The Doombringer’s shoulders. The Doombringer then stepped forward out of the corner and spiked Senor Vinnie into the canvas with a Tombstone Piledriver. He crosses Vinnie’s hands over his chest before making the pin.

THRE---NO!!!!
At that moment, Knightmare INC slide into the ring and attempt to attack The Doombringer. The pair are met with a Double Chokeslam from the Deadman on arrival while Kendall Knight motions to join in the action, but the referee holds him at bay. This gave Vinnie the means to arm himself with his Mariachi guitar and broke it over The Doombringer’s skull. He kicks the debris out of the ring before the referee even knew what had transpired and covers The Doombringer.
