The scene opens up as official opening theme song of EHWF Saturday Night Mayhem, “Back It” by Yizzy and Dizzie Rascal, is playing in the background. We pan into the scene where we see fans screaming in the crowd in the FLXcast Arena! As we cut to the pyrotechnics show, we move onto the broadcast area at ringside where Steve White and Chuck Thompson are waiting to start the night!
Steve White: Ladies and Gentlemen! We welcome you to Saturday Night Mayhem LIVE from FLXcast Arena here in Miami Florida!! What an absolutely incredible night we have planned for you all tonight! It’s SEASONS BEATINGS tonight on Mayhem so it’s a big Merry Christmas to you all but SO MUCH has happened here on Mayhem and surrounds in the past week including a NEW EHWF World Champion when we saw Sah’ta Thor trade Ace Pena something for his EHWF Amulet to cash in on Thea Nefeli after her main event defense to reclaim the World Championship!! It's a massive Christmas Special of mayhem and what a way to kick things off! Sah'ta Thor pulled off a massive opportunity at Battlefield where he made a trade for Ace Pena's EHWF Amulet to cash in on Thea Nefeli at the end of the night and defeat her for the EHWF World Championship after she had just defended it! With the help of Isabella, Ace and Thorn Enterprises - Thor is now once again the EHWF World Champion much to the disappointment of Thea Nefeli that night! Thea and Mazzio were PISSED after Battlefield and tonight, shit is about to get real as Mazzio and Joyride go head to head with Thor and Thorn Enterprises to kick off the night!
Chuck Thompson: I can’t wait for this one Steve, that’s gonna be an interesting main event but we’ve got a MASSIVE grudge match set up before that! It's been a long time since Michael Rissi and Scott Wilson teamed up but with things heating up the way they have been recently on Mayhem - tonight they'll come together once again after so many years to take on Mass Mancini and David Ashburn in a brutal Christmas Chaos Tag Team Match! Michael Rissi is out for redemption since his return and Scott Wilson is ready to make an impact and gain a little revenge while doing so! Mass and David have one of the biggest opportunities of their careers to knock off two of the greatest! Don't miss this huge Christmas Chaos encounter!
Steve White: That is gonna be insane! Tonight is a night of opportunity and in this Ultimate X-Mas match there will be two tinsel and Christmas light cables crossed above the ring on scaffolding in the shape of an "X" with two briefcases hanging on either side of where the cables meet in the center. D'Rocco, Anderson, Maddox and Bladsco will all fight it out to climb across the cables and free one of the briefcases to reveal a prize! There will be two winners in this contest and two losers but so much is riding on this one for these 4 men!!
Chuck Thompson: And speaking of incredible: Tonight's main event will see some of the best stars in the business today go head to head in another match of opportunity: A Christmas Tree Match! The rules are simple - there is a 35 Foot Christmas Tree in the center of the ring with Christmas themed weapons all around the ring, the outside and hanging from the tree! The only way to win is to climb to the top and unhook the star sitting at the top of the tree! Alexandria Kendrick and Rebecca Delfina are in need of big wins! Joanna Rissi and Zoe McDraven are back to their winning ways and have seen recent success and Chelsea LeClair is still undefeated and has gone from strength to strength! Only one of these incredible competitors can walk away with this big win tonight! Don't miss it!!
Steve White: It’s Seasons Beatings here live on Saturday Night Mayhem and I can’t wait Chuck!!
Chuck Thompson: I can’t wait for tonight, Steve! Lets start the show!
As Steve and Chuck finish running down the show for the night the camera pans to the ring. In the center of the ring is none other than the new EHWF World Champion Sah'ta Thor. He was dressed in the customary jeans and t-shirt combo that marked his fight attire. Around his waist gleamed the polished surface of the EHWF World Championship. As soon as he hears the commentary team fall silent Thor lifts his head to look around the arena as he lifts a microphone to his lips.
Sah'ta Thor: Isn't it interesting the unexpected way life changes in sudden ways. We all know how Battlefield turned out and I once again stand before you as the EHWF World Champion. Yet, I will be honest with you all, after I lost this title to Thea back in September I had no expectation of ever holding EHWF gold again. Given my medical condition and the waivers I have signed, the fact that I am even still allowed to actively compete has been fine with me. Though we also can't forget that I was contractually under the threat of the Hangman's Clause that I used to get Michael Rissi out of the company. Now as we all know Joanna returned last month and beat me in a match for that contract. Of course, she won and in the end ripped the contract to shreds to allow Michael to return.
There is a pause as Thor runs his empty hand over the surface of the title around his waist.
Sah'ta Thor: Now the obvious fact of Joanna's decision was obviously the return of her husband. A reality that has yet to fully be understood inside the EHWF machine. However, it opened up the way for me to once again hold a EHWF title without being terminated at the end of that night. All I needed was a way to get into the title match that couldn't be argued with. While going into Battlefield, I hadn't come up with anything I wasn't concerned, since I was dealing with a matter from my past. Though as we all know things turned out a lot different from my expectations. As you will recall in the shows going into Battlefield, Ace Pena won the first ever EHWF Amulet. This Amulet was a guaranteed shot for a title at any time of his choosing. However, an additional rule of the EHWF Amulet is that it could be traded to any other member of the roster for any thing of Ace's desire. Furthermore, multiple attempts were made by others on the roster to get Ace to trade them his EHWF Amulet.
Another pause for impact and breath occurs as Thor thoughtfully caresses the EHWF World Mayhem Title. He lets his words hang in the air for a moment before finally continuing on.
Sah'ta Thor: Let me be brutally honest here going into Battlefield I fully expected to go to war with Scott Wilson and shed some blood. I would have settled for that in all honesty, yet that isn't what happened at all. You see, after the Mixed Tag Team Title match while The Rissis were going at it with the Mayhem half of the Age of the Fall I was approached with an offer. Astryd approached me with a business proposal that would change a few careers. All I had to do was get out of my match with Scott with the least amount of damage to myself as possible. Which as you all saw came to be after I got disqualified by hitting over the head with a steel chair. Sure in the end nothing was solved there and Scott has another reason to kill me but in the end I will deal with that as I can.
Thor falls silent as he unbuckles the EHWF World Championship from his waist and lifts into the air as he looks it over for an intense moment.
Sah'ta Thor: After my match with Scott I went backstage and met with Thorn Enterprises to conclude a mutually satisfactory business deal. I got the EWHF Amulet and the title shot it represented in exchange for a favor of my own. I know you all want to know what that favor was. However, I feel that the other parties involved in this deal should be out here first.
With a grin on his lips Thor turns to stare up the ramp as "Win This War" by Moana A x Koda Kids begins to play in the arena. A few seconds into the song Astryd Thorn steps out from behind the curtain leading her clients the NEW EHWF Mixed Tag Team Champions Ace Pena and Isabella Thorn. The new mixed tag champions have the belts over their shoulders as they follow Astryd down the ramp to the ring. Once there they all get into the ring where Thor is waiting. Inside the ring they each get a microphone.
Astryd Thorn: Congratulations Champ. Though I guess that should be said to all of you after Battlefield."
All three of the Champions in the ring lift their respective titles as Astyd pulls a folded up piece of paper from her pocket. She unfolds it and holds it up to the camera. It is revealed to be a copy of the contract transferring the EHWF Amulet to Thor's ownership at Battlefield. She lowers the contract with a smirk on her lips and gives Thor a slight night before speaking.
Astryd Thorn: So you were just about to share with the world the nature of our business transaction. Which as many can assume has something to do with the EHWF Mayhem World Title. Go ahead and be so kind as to enlighten the world as to what the future entails.
Thor just shakes his head slightly before taking a deep breath. This was a moment that he had hoped he would live to have but now that it was here he couldn't help but wonder at its cost.
Sah'ta Thor: Yes, let's end the suspense shall we. For my side the deal was simple. I got the EHWF Amulet in return for 2 simple things. The first was my blessing for Ace to officially join the family when is ready to make that move. The second, however, is that at Retribution I will be defending the EHWF World Championship against Isabella Thorn in a match of her choosing. Yes I am aware that this arrangement will cause several folks to be more than a little perturbed but remember this all business. And as such who in the back wouldn't have made a deal of their own if it ensured they would become the EHWF World Champion.
The crowd goes insane with shock causing them to explode in a wave of noise as Thor is forced to fall silent while holding his title into the air. After a minute Isabella raises her hand before bringing a microphone to her lips.
Isabella Thorn: That is right, a business deal was made even though it disadvantages several others on the roster in the short term. The deal was witnessed and signed off on by a EWHF lawyer and ultimately approved by Mr. Gomez. So you see there are only two things you can do about this; Complain about it and waste your breath or shut up and accept what you can't change. Regardless of what you decide, the reality is that at Retribution it will be Sah'ta Thor defending the EHWF World Championship against Isabella Thorn in a Steel Cage Match. After all, we both know that the match type not only has meaning to us both but that we each have outside contenders to keep out of our match.
Having delivered those words Isabella lowers the microphone from her lips as she lets her words sink in. After all, there was a signed contract for the match that had just been revealed. Oh, she knew there would be many looking to get a shot at her but that was a matter for another day. Having delivered her side of the business arrangement Isabella nods to Ace and the pair move to stand in the corner with Thor to await their opposing trio.
The arena is buzzing with anticipation as Sah'ta Thor, Ace Pena, and Isabella Thorn stand in the center of the ring, having just addressed the mixed crowd. The atmosphere is tense, and the crowd eagerly awaits the next moment. The lights dim, and the powerful entrance theme of Mazzio begins to play! The crowd erupts as Mazzio, accompanied by his wife Thea and Nina Chanel, makes their way to the ring. Mazzio, with a stern expression on his face, climbs into the ring with purpose, flanked by Thea and Nina. Thea looks livid as she struts with purpose, her arm all bandaged up. Mazzio snatches a microphone from a producer outside.
Mazzio: Sah'ta Thor... You disgust me... Using Ace Pena's EHWF Amulet to cash in on my wife last week while she was hurt and tired just so you could steal the EHWF World Championship from her? That's a new low, even for you! But I can't say was surprised. Bitch boy Ace Pena trades in his EHWF Amulet for a shot at your daughter - even trading in your own daughter, Thor because you will do WHATEVER it takes to make sure you hold the EHWF World Championship.
The crowd boos, expressing their disapproval of Thor's actions.
Mazzio: Now, Thor, you're going to pay for your deeds because that's my fucking wife and for a year you've manipulated and targeted her and you've thought you can go around and do whatever you want uncheck on Mayhem. You've made a grave mistake, and tonight, you're going to face the consequences. I don't give a fuck how you spin it or what you have to say or what anyone here has to say. I see you for what you are and your ambition for the EHWF Championship has no respect for anyone, even your own family.
Thea steps forward, holding a microphone, her disappointment evident on her face.
Thea Nefeli: I never thought it would end like this. I'm disappointed that my run as champion is over, especially at the hands of you, Thor and the way it ended at Battlefield. It turns out I was right about you all along, Thor. All of your bullshit about wanting to face me, wanting to defend against me... I don't care how you swing it, it was all a ploy and I was a pawn from the start. You're the one who saw me as champion, as the only person pure enough to trust you and accept your bullshit and listen to you. Your daughter is the one who helped this no-hoper Ace Pena win the EHWF Amulet because she knew she could get it to you and you could get the title back.
The crowd cheers in support of Thea, acknowledging her resilience.
Thea Nefeli: I may have a minor injury from last week, but I demanded to compete tonight because I want to teach you a lesson, Thor. You may have the title now, but I will not let you tarnish the legacy of the EHWF World Championship with his underhanded tactics. I won't let you get away with shortening or tarnishing my reign as champion, something I worked so hard for. So tonight, I'm going to beat you. I'm going to beat "The Champion" and embarrass you and prove to the world why they called me champion up until last week.
Nina grabs a microphone and adds her voice to the mix.
The tension in the ring intensifies as Mazzio, Thea, and Nina stand united, ready to confront Sah'ta Thor, Ace Pena, and Isabella Thorn. The crowd eagerly anticipates the upcoming clash between these competitors.
We cut to the ring where Illa Isabella is waiting with a mic.

Chuck Thompson: I think with Isabella Thorn’s aspirations, it means a lot more than we think!!
Ace and Isabella back off up the ramp to the stage and look at the situation below. Thor turns his head from Thea and looks up at Ace and Isabella at the top of the stage, staring at them as we fade out to a commercial.
The electrifying drums and guitar riff of “Werewolf” reverberate through the Miami arena as the crowd erupts for Scott Wilson's entrance. The camera zeroes in on the stage where Scott stands, taking in the atmosphere. A band-aid adorns the top-left of his forehead, likely a remnant from the chair shot that secured his marred victory over Sah'ta Thor at Battlefield. Wilson strolls down the ramp, exchanging high-fives with enthusiastic fans, his expression unwaveringly serious. He completes the circuit to ringside, grabbing a microphone from Illa before rolling into the squared circle. Letting out a visible sigh, Wilson waits for the crowd's fervor to subside before starting his promo, but the Floridian energy only intensifies.
Miami Crowd: YOU WERE ROBBED! YOU WERE ROBBED! YOU WERE ROBBED! YOU WERE ROBBED!
Scott can't help but chuckle, bringing the mic closer to his mouth.
Scott Wilson: Trust me, I share that exact sentiment...
The crowd cheers at Wilson's acknowledgment of their chant, finally settling down to hear the Hall of Famer speak.
Scott Wilson: As I'm sure many of you know, it's real hard to have any respect for someone who took precious time away from me. We don't have to beat around the bush; I'm obviously talking about Thor, and it's no secret with anyone that I can't stand the guy. You see, a lot of people don't really understand the magnitude of his actions back in 2018. They don't understand what he put me through... The adversity I had to overcome... Just to feel HALFWAY decent most days. I took my health for granted for a long time and when it started not to be a guarantee that I could get back to 100 percent, it left me fighting a mental war more often than a physical one. I'm able to stand here in Miami, Florida, in the FLXcast Arena, on THIS special episode of Mayhem, as your recipient of EHWF's Return of the Year...
The crowd interrupts with small cheers, expressing their excitement for Wilson.
Scott Wilson: ... And yet, I don't feel rewarded at all. I don't feel celebrated and as nice as the honor may seem, I don't give a damn about it. When I made my return to the EHWF back in July, I had one goal in mind... I wanted to kick the shit out of Sah'ta Thor. Frankly, I didn't care at first how I got my hands on him. I wanted to make him feel just a FRACTION of the pain he put me through. Not only did I want to hurt him, I wanted to end his career. But then I saw him in person for the first time in five years... And I saw him in the ring, where his body and mind would LITERALLY give out on him mid-fight. Like I said earlier, respect for Thor was practically non-existent, but some part of me understood his desire... Even with all the odds stacking against him, even with his body being on borrowed time, he continued to be the same son of a bitch I knew from the back then. And as much as I HATE to admit it, I gained a small amount of respect for the pale fucker...
Scott turns to the Mayhem titantron, directing the audience's attention to it.
Scott Wilson: And you know what happened when I gave the bastard a sliver of respect? He does this to me...
An instant replay from the Battlefield event plays on the tron. Wilson and Thor exchange brutal blows outside the ring, culminating in Wilson getting struck with a steel chair. The Miami crowd erupts in boos, reliving Thor's deceitful move. The match gets called off, and the camera transitions back to Scott leaned against the turnbuckles.
Scott Wilson: If you give a slimy sack of shit like Thor an inch, he'll find a way to turn it against you... Every. Single. Time. Not only did he prove in our match, he proved it at the end of Battlefield when he weaseled his way back into holding the EHWF World Championship. And you mean to tell me that EHWF, in good faith, voted HIM as their Man of the Year? Somebody needs to help me understand this...
Wilson drops to the mat, heads to ringside, and walks gingerly towards some fans in the front row.
Scott Wilson: Here's my question to you bunch right here; given Thor's sopping twat in-between his legs, as evidenced by him YET AGAIN running from me, shouldn't he have won Woman of the Year instead?
The fans enthusiastically agree, and Scott, satisfied, moves to another group just behind the announce table.
Scott Wilson: And for you wonderful ladies and gentlemen, do you think it's fair for Thor to accept the title of “Man of the Year” and the EHWF World Championship when he REFUSES to face me like one...?
A fan snatches the microphone, shouting in agreement before it's cut off. Wilson is handed a new mic and returns to the ring.
Scott Wilson: I think Miami has spoken. Thor, you can't keep running from me forever. I know you probably thought that getting yourself DQ'd from our match meant that you'd get a break from me. But the truth is, I'm even more determined than ever to dog-walk you across this ring. And now that you're EHWF World Champ again, it'll make my victory all the sweeter when I rip that title from your soon-to-be-DYING hands. I'll be seeing you real soon...
Picking up from where it left off, “Werewolf” resumes playing as Scott exits the ring and walks back up the ramp, hyping the crowd up along the way as Mayhem cuts to a quick commercial interruption.
A camera shifts towards the parking lot entrance of the arena. A few seconds later, the doors open and one by one, the Age of Fall enter the building, the group dressed in all black clothing. The camera follows the group as the four walk down the hallway with Dan being at the front of the group, a stoic expression on their faces. The group shifts their gazes towards the camera, Dan beginning to speak.
Dan Anderson: Its the new year and the Age of Fall is looking to start 2024 off on the right foot. I'll admit that things didn't go so well for us on the previous shows. Sure, we can beat ourselves up for coming up short in our respective matches. But, we're not going to let the losses get to us. Instead, we will use the losses as motivation and bounce back, better than ever.
The Age of Fall nod their heads in agreement to what Dan said, looking forward to the new year and what it may hold for them.
Dan Anderson: There has been one question that's constantly been our minds for a little while now. What's the Age of Fall's next move? Do we take the slow approach by scratching and clawing our way up the mountain? Do we stand idly by, watching the others pass us by, and wait for our moment to land at our feet? Or do we go out there and take our moment by force?
Dan takes a brief pause, running a hand through his hair, a serious expression beginning to appear on his face.
Dan Anderson: I think the better option for us is to...take what we want by force. While we have been here for a little while, we're not going to stand by, waiting for a measly scrap of food to be tossed our way. We are a couple of hungry jackals and it's time for us to feast. We will not be passed by! We will not be overlooked! We will not allow ourselves to kicked around! We're going to have everyone take notice of us by creating some...carnage. Cause a little havoc on both shows. Leave a trail of destruction. By the end of it all, everyone will remember the Age of Fall. Let this be a warning to everyone. Nobody is safe. We will strike when you least expect it so if it would be wise to grow some eyes in the back of your head and keep your head on a swivel. Now, if you will excuse us, I got a match to prepare for.
A slight grin appears on Dan's face as he pushes the camera out of his way, the group continuing to walk down the hallway until they reach the door of a locker room. The camera readjusts and moves in the direction that the Age of Fall went. The camera catches the group entering the room and as Dan closes the door, he notices the camera is pointed at the room. Dan stares down the camera, slowly closing the door, the camera fading to black once the door is closed.
We cut to the ring where Illa Isabella is waiting with a mic.
Illa Isabella: This following contest is a tag team Christmas Chaos match set for one fall!
Taking you down plays the arena as the fans give a jaded reaction to the entrance of Ashburn. Gold and blue pyro goes off as David makes his way out on the stage and throws off his robe! He shows off and flexes his muscles on the stage and gets into the crowd then makes his way through the ramp and down to the ring looking calm and cool. Ashburn gets in and raises his arms to the fans and begins to prepare getting himself psyched up for the forth coming match.
Illa Isabella: Introducing First… David Ashburn!
Don't Condone by Symba hits the PA System and calm blue and green lighting slowly hits the arena as all of the fans go wild with cheers and roars! Mass Mancini's silhouette appears on the stage as he makes his way out. The fans are all going wild and he makes his way down the ramp, slapping hands of the fans before stopping at the bottom.

Rebecca Delfina: Thanks, Chirara. Well, I've got mixed emotions right now. Last week, I had the opportunity to capture the Hardcore Championship, and unfortunately, things didn't go my way. I'm disappointed in my performance, but that's the nature of this business. You win some, you lose some.
Chirara Milliani: It's tough when things don't go as planned, but tonight is a new opportunity for you. How do you plan to approach the Christmas Tree match?
Rebecca Delfina: I'm putting last week behind me. The Christmas Tree match is mine to win, and I'm ready to embrace it. I'm going to climb that tree, grab that star, and secure the victory. I've been training hard, both mentally and physically, to make sure I don't walk away disappointed again.
Chirara Milliani: Climbing the tree sounds like a daunting task. 4 other top women in there with you. How do you plan to win? Seems incredibly difficult to me.
Rebecca Delfina: I know my opponents are tough... current champions and hall of famers some of them. I've got something to prove tonight. I've got the determination and the will to win, and I'm not letting anything stand in my way. It's time for redemption, and that Christmas Tree star is coming home with me. I don't care about Joanna, Alexandria, Chelsea or Zoe and how good they are.
The feed is suddenly interrupted as we see Sah’ta Thor sitting on a production crate backstage while he’s being checked over by a medical offical. The medic suddenly backs off as we see Scott Wilson coming in the other direction, limping and hobbling in the backstage area with a towel full of blood as he’s just coming off of his match a few moment ago. Thor and Wilson lock eyes.
Scott Wilson: What the fuck? What the fuck are you doing back here?
Sah’ta Thor: Well, you look like shit…
Scott Wilson: At least I won my match, you dirty piece of shit. How you can hold that title next to you right now makes me fuckin’ sick.
The medic steps back as Thor and Wilson come up close and Thor comes off of the production crate. Wilson wipes some blood from his forehead and looks Thor up and down.
Sah’ta Thor: All I see is me holding this belt though. Not you, not Thea, not Mazzio… just me. Doesn’t matter how many matches you win or how many I lose. The result is still the same. I’m the champion.
Scott Wilson: True… Well, maybe I’ve got a chance to finish what I started at Battlefield then… Seeing as it’s clear I don’t give a fucking shit what an asshole like you has to say.
The fans back in the arena watching on the tron go WILD as Wilson uppercuts Thor in the mouth! Wilson gets on top of Thor on the production crate and starts hitting him with big right hands!

Alejandro Gomez: What the fuck do you think you’re doing!?
Security struggles to hold Rissi but he backs off! The separate Thor and Wilson and everyone is broken up as Alejandro and Fernandez stand in the middle of all the mayhem!
Fernandez Gomez: Rissi, Wilson, Thor! The three of you assholes are OUT OF HERE tonight! You’re done! Leave the fucking arena immediately! Get the fuck out of here!
Michael Rissi: Are you fucking serious? I was stoping a beatdown! I still gotta watch Joanna in the main event tonight you fucking asshole!
Alejandro Gomez: I don’t give a fuck who you got to watch! You fucked up and now you’re outta here for the rest of the night! You three are DONE! You leave the fucking arena NOW or I’ll…
Fernandez Gomez: You’re outta here… You leave the arena now or I’ll suspend all three of you and that suspension won’t end until AFTER Final Destination! You fucking assholes want to play with me? Escort these men out and if they give you trouble, let me know and I’ll process their suspensions instantly!
A group of 50 security and refs has formed and they push and prod Michael, Thor and Scott away and towards the exit of the arena.
Alejandro Gomez: HA! You’ll have to watch your wife tonight on the EHWF Network on your phone you dumb asshole!
Scott Wilson: Fuck! Michael I’m sorry!
As they lead the three men away and escort them out.
Michael Rissi: Fuck you Gomez - you fuckin’ cunt!
The ruckus and shouting ends as the three men and the parade of security and officials exits the backstage area to the lobby. Fernandez and Alejandro turn around but they run into a smirking Dan Anderson who has the rest of The Age of Fall behind him. Dan Anderson looks on with a smirk as he comes eye to eye with an unimpressed Fernandez Gomez.
Fernandez Gomez: What…
Dan Anderson: I said earlier tonight that The Age of Fall was sick and tired of being treated like we don’t matter… Remember when I said that.
Alejandro Gomez: You don’t fuckin’ matter. What’s your point?
Dan Anderson: I’m still pissed off about that mixed tag team match last week. I swore I’d get revenge but I HOPE you were listening to everything else I fucking said earlier tonight…
Fernandez Gomez: …
Dan Anderson: Now those guys are gone and barred from the place tonight, maybe Mayhem and Seasons Beatings can be fun now… But first, let me go and win this match I got coming up… You can finally see what real talent looks like.
Anderson storms off and the rest of The Age of Fall follow him as the fans cheer and the Gomez brothers look confused.
We cut to the ring where Illa Isabella is waiting with a mic.
Illa Isabella: This following contest is an Ultimate X-Mas match where 2 briefcases will be up for grabs!
Again by Flyleaf blasts over The PA Systems as Michael Maddox walks on The Stage in his Trademarked Leather Jacket engraved withThe Words The Floridian Psychopath on it.

"Playing the Saint" by Digital Summer begins to play throughout the arena, the lights dimming down until there's a single spotlight on the stage. A few seconds later, Dan Anderson slowly makes his way out, standing in the spotlight. Dan holds his arms out, a slight smirk on his face as he soaks in the crowd's reaction, looking out towards the crowd. He lowers his arms, adjusting his jacket then makes his way towards the ring, the spotlight following him. Once he reaches the ring, he slowly goes up the steel steps, walks along the apron until he reaches a turnbuckle, climbing to the second rope. The smirk still on his face as he holds one finger up in the ring, staying in that pose for a couple of seconds then hops into the ring. He goes to the middle of the ring, slowly raises a hand up and snaps his fingers, the arena lighting back up. He takes off his jacket, tosses it to the outside then rolls his shoulders, and pops his neck while pacing around the ring. After pacing around the ring for a bit, he goes to the nearest corner, crouches down, clasps his gloved hands together, and stares straight ahead.
Illa Isabella: And next up… Dan Anderson!

Chelsea LeClair is with her EHWF Jr. Heavyweight Championship, but that’s not the only hardware that she has with her as she happens to have a few awards that she won as well. She’s definitely beaming with happiness, knowing that she really made a strong first impression during her first year in EHWF. At the same time though, she knows that she has to be all business as she begins to express her thoughts.
Chelsea LeClair: Talk about a hell of a haul, huh? Yeah, I did go through so much shit when I first got here. This championship definitely signifies that and I had to go through hell to gain it and I’ve had to go through just as much hell to retain it. To win awards on top of this such as being a world title prospect of 2024, my title win being the most memorable moment and of course, ‘newcomer of the year’ on top of all that? It definitely does feel special. However, this is a new year…
And as happy as I am about 2023, I know in my heart that this year WILL be even better starting with this… odd… kind of match that is happening tonight…
Chelsea takes a pause as she thinks about the stipulation.
Chelsea LeClair: We have this ‘Christmas Tree’ match… which on one hand, it’s kind of weird that we’re doing this AFTER the holidays, but at the same time, I know that this is a match where you have to have eyes in the back of your head not just because of how the tree is filled with weapons, but also because of the competitors of this match. I’ve got what it takes, for sure but when you consider the other competitors? This is definitely not going to be easy. I started out my career in EHWF by facing Future Shock so I know what to expect from the likes of Zoe McDraven. Alexandria Kendrick is one of the biggest names this company has ever seen, there is no denying that. I know precisely what Joanna Rissi is capable of since we’ve crossed paths here and there and even someone like Rebecca Delfina is someone that is incredibly capable of having one good day that can make all the difference in the world. She and Kendrick are definitely going to be a bit desperate considering they are starving for that big win.
Zoe and Joanna may have some momentum going but at the end of the day, I’m the one that’s got the most momentum out of the five. I don’t know what the prize in the star is going to be, but you can bet your ass that I am looking to maintain and continue my momentum from last year. What you saw out of me in 2023 was me proving that I’m not ‘just a pretty face’ and that I can hang in this company no matter what obstacles that come my way or what kind of match I have to be in. Yes, I am the EHWF Junior Heavyweight Champion and I have nothing but appreciation and happiness for the journey that I’ve had with this championship.
BUT…
One of my awards definitely indicates that I am capable of more and that some people in this company see it too! I’ve been a three time world champion in my own right but none of those three reigns were reigns that I could say I was satisfied with. I’ve got to start thinking about taking that next step, with proving once and for all that I can be that top tier wrestler I’ve striven to be ever since I broke free from my own addictions. This match is the beginning of that for me and damn it, I’m not going to be denied. The four of you are going to make it a tough fight for me and I can respect that, but at the end of the day? This is the year that I show the world that I’m not going to settle for second best! That’s my mission for this year and that star I’m about to win is a fitting symbolism of what I’m about to evolve to this year.
Chelsea then makes her exit from the scene at this point, hearing the cheers and maintaining her confidence as the scene fades out.
We cut to the ring where Illa Isabella is waiting with a mic.
Illa Isabella: This main event contest is a Christmas Tree Match!
The lights fade out, as a maniacal laugh from Alexandria can be heard right before "No World for Tomorrow" by Coheed & Cambria begins to blare throughout the arena. The lights come back in with a teal hue, as the crowd erupts with boos. Alexandria Kendrick steps out onto the stage, staring down at the ring, refusing to break her focus. Her long, black hair was tied back into a braided ponytail. She wore black compression shorts that ended just below her knees with a teal grim reaper design on the left leg while "Kendrick" in teal font went down her right leg. On her upper torso she wore a similar compression style women's tanktop that clung tightly to her body, to the delight of many in the crowd. She makes her way down the ramp, shaking her wrists and limbering up as she does so. She rolls into the ring underneath the bottom rope, quickly pushing herself up to her feet like a jump, showing off some of her strength. Alex would stand in the middle of the ring, pulling a pair of gloves out from her cleavage and pulling them on, one at a time. They seemed to also have a teal wolf design on each glove. She makes sure her fingers are in tight before pulling the velcro over, tightening the gloves around her wrist before popping her knuckles. She would then suddenly jump forward, placing her right foot on the bottom rope and catching her left foot onto the middle rope while grabbing a hold of the top rope with her left hand. Alex then raises her right fist into the air. "No World for Tomorrow" would slowly begin to fade out. Alex would hop off of the ropes and back into the corner, waiting for the bell to ring.
Illa Isabella: Introducing First Tonight… Alexandria Kendrick!
Electricity by Silk City & Dua Lipa hits the speakers as the arena dims leaving red and white lights strobe through. The fans cheer as Rebecca steps out from behind the curtain. Standing in the center of the ramp she spreads her arms slightly as she extends her arms out to the side with her elbows bent.
Walking down the ramp, she runs her hand threw her hair before tagging some of the fans hands with her own as they reach over the barricade desperately, trying to high five her. She spins around and tries to high five as many hands as she can when she gets to the ringside area.
As she walks up the steal steps Rebecca has a confident smirk on her face as she walks along the apron's edge. Wiping her feet off before entering the ring under the second rope, she stands back up, flipping her hair over her shoulder before walking to the furthest side of the ring where she warms up for her match.
Illa Isabella: And next up… Rebecca Delfina!
The opening of 'Be Right Here' by Kungs hits the speakers as the arena dims leaving orange and green lights strobbed throughout. The fans cheer as Joanna steps out from behind the curtain. Standing in the center of the ramp she raises her arms to the cheering fans!
Walking down the ramp, she runs her hand through her hair before tagging some of the fans hands as they reach over the barricade with cheers! The fiery Joanna breaks out into a sprint as the theme reaches it's peak drop on the speakers!
As she walks up the steal steps Joanna has a confident stride as she walks along the apron's edge, wiping her boots off on the apron before entering the ring under the second rope, she stands back up, flipping her hair over her shoulder and performing theatrics in the ring and on the corner before walking to the furthest side of the ring where she warms up for her match.
Illa Isabella: And making her way to the ring… Joanna Rissi!
Soft pink lights begin to flicker around the entrance as the opening guitar riff plays along with the video package on the tron. As the lyrics start, Zoe pushes aside the curtain, walking out slowly with a smirk on her face.
“I’ll stop the whole world
I’ll stop the whole world
From turning us into a monster
And eating us alive”
As the chorus pops, she throws a fist into the air, then makes her way to the ring, sliding under the bottom rope to leap up to her feet and pose in the middle of the ring.
Illa Isabella: And next tonight… She is the EHWF Hardcore Champion… The Supernova… Zoe McDraven!
"Chelsea" by STEFY hits and the fans cheer as Chelsea LeClair walks through the curtains, poised, confident and determined to make things happen in this match as she begins to walk down the aisle. She soaks in some cheers a bit as she gets to ringside and at this point, she's all business as she slides into the ring. Soaking things in a bit more, she climbs up the corner to the second rope with a smile, a fist raised in the air and a quick point to the crowd before she hops back down to the corner, leans against it and waits for the match to begin.
Illa Isabella: And Finally… She is the EHWF Jr Heavyweight Champion… Chelsea LeClair!
DING DING DING!
The bell rang, and the Christmas Tree Match was underway. The competitors wasted no time, immediately darting towards the Christmas-themed weapons scattered around the ring and on the tree. Alexandria Kendrick grabbed a candy cane kendo stick, while Chelsea LeClair opted for a tinsel-wrapped steel chair. Joanna Rissi and Zoe McDraven exchanged glances before simultaneously reaching for a pair of Christmas Pinecones. Rebecca Delfina, with a determined look in her eyes, headed straight for the Christmas tree with no hesitation! The crowd erupted with cheers as Delfina started to climb the tree, displaying a bold strategy to go for the star right from the beginning! Not to be outdone, Chelsea LeClair swung her tinsel-wrapped chair with precision, catching Zoe McDraven off guard! McDraven staggered, but Joanna Rissi swiftly retaliated with a swift strike from the pinecone to the damn head! The arena echoed with the sounds of clashing Christmas-themed weaponry as the competitors engaged in a chaotic brawl!
Steve White: This is insane that we actually make people do this Chuck! All 5 women brawling to get up that Christmas tree! Rebecca taking early control!
Chuck Thompson: Insane?! I love this! I’m in my element with these 5 women tonight Steve!
Meanwhile, Alexandria Kendrick aimed for a more methodical approach! She swatted Rebecca off of the tree with the candy cane! Alexandria turned around and swatted Zoe in the head with it! Joanna smacked Alexandria in the back of the head with her pinecone! Chelsea made a break for the tree! Joanna gave chase! They both get halfway up the tree and start brawling while they cling to the tree branch! The star shines at the top! Joanna got a big kick in Chelsea’s back and Chelsea falls from halfway and plummets down to the mat with a big thud! Rebecca climbed on the other side of the tree and after a while, Rebecca and Joanna get to the top and start wrestling for control of the star! Zoe and Alexandria shake the bottom of the tree to put Rebecca and Joanna off balance!
Steve White: Rebecca just inches away there! This massive Christmas tree, far bigger than the other ones at ringside is pretty damn high up!
Chuck Thompson: The only way to win is pulls that star off but you gotta keep your balance! Rebecca so close there!
Chelsea climbs the tree from the other side and she hits Joanna in the back at the top of the tree when she gets there! Joanna elbows her in the face and grabs the star but Rebecca hits Joanna and tries to pull the star out herself! The tree shakes from below! Chelsea punches Rebecca and claws at the star but all three women drop down the tree and then fall off as decorations and weapons all fall off and Rebecca, Joanna and Chelsea hit the mat hard! Alexandria swats Zoe in the back with a candy cane! Zoe gets some tinsel around Alexandria’s neck and they fall against the bottom of the tree and Zoe starts to choke Alexandria out as the fans GO NUTS!
Steve White: Chelsea with HUGE impact there! Zoe using the tinsel to chock Alexandria out! How festive! Joanna looking to get back up that tree right now!
Chuck Thompson: Chelsea stirring at the bottom of the tree as well!

Rebecca starts climbing the tree but Alexandria climbs up after her and pulls her back down! Zoe dives on Alexandria and Rebecca! Suddenly, Chelsea LeClair is halfway up the tree and hits CANCELLED from the air as the plummets down and crushes, Zoe, Rebecca and Alexandria! The fans go nuts as Joanna gets up holding her back and grabs onto the tree, climbing it!
Steve White: Rebecca is powering these women around right now and now she’s going for the win! She’s climbing the tree!
Chuck Thompson: Joanna is already half way up!
Joanna gets up the tree! Rebecca powers the other women off of her and starts climbing as well! Eventually Joanna gets hands on the star but Rebecca is so much faster than the other women and is up the tree pretty quickly! She hits Joanna with a right hand then another then another then another! Rebecca grabs the star but Joanna hits her with a wide kick and the fans go wild! Chelsea climbs the tree, slowly but methodically! She gets up and grabs some of the Christmas lights and yanks at them, trying to yank Joanna down with her as the fans get SUPER LOUD! Chelsea yanks at them again and Joanna loses balance! Chelsea hits Joanna in the back and Joanna slides off of the tree and gets caught up in the lights and tinsel! She’s all tied up half way and struggles and the lights get caught around Rebecca as well! Rebecca wastes time getting them off of her but Chelsea gets to the top of the tree and kicks Rebecca! Rebecca stumbles! Joanna struggles and Rebecca loses balance, falling and landing on Alexandria and Zoe at the bottom! The crowd ERUPTS and Chelsea grabs the star, twisting it and working it until she removes it from the top of the tree and the fans go wild!
DING DING DING!
Illa Isabella: Here is your winner… The EHWF Jr Heavyweight Champion… Chelsea LeClair!
Steve White: No way! No way! She did it again! Chelsea LeClair picks up another huge win!
Chuck Thompson: That’s why she’s your most freaking promising for 2024 - because she keeps pulling out stuff like this!
Chelsea gets down from the tree and the other women look disappointed but the fans are going wild as Chelsea’s music hits! Chelsea holds the star up and the fans cheer but suddenly the music cuts and the lighting changes and The Age of Fall all come out! Dan Anderson, Jacob Letoa, Jay Reynolds and Roxanne storm out and make their way to the ring as the women inside look confused!
Steve White: Wait… What the fuck! The Age of Fall?! Why are they out here!? This can’t be good!
Chuck Thompson: We already saw these assholes enough tonight!
Roxanne starts brawling with Zoe outside the ring! Jacob slides in and starts fighting with Rebecca! Dan grabs a candy cane and gets it over Chelsea and starts choking her against the Christmas tree! Jay starts stomping out Joanna against the ropes and the boos start to flood!
Steve White: The Age of Fall are ambushing and attacking these women right after that brutal match!
Chuck Thompson: What the fuck is Dan Anderson’s problem?!
Suddenly, random Christmas music starts to hit with the jingling of bells echoing and everyone looks confused! Santa Claus storms out and starts sprinting down the ramp! He tears off his sleeves and flexes his huge arms on the way down as he slides in the ring! He drops Dan with a right hand! He drops Jacob! He drops Jay! The crowd goes CRAZY! Rebecca starts beating up Jacob! Alexandria and Joanna swarm on Jay! Chelsea starts stomping on Dan! Zoe rams Roxanne’s back into the apron! The tide changes and the fans go WILD!

He falls right into Chelsea and her Jersey Drop (Diamond Cutter) as the fans get louder! The Age of Fall try to get back in but they keep them at bay! Zoe with her snap Supernova kick to Dan Anderson! Rebecca with her Zenith Slam as the fans get louder and louder! Finally Joanna hits a kneeling Anderson with her Final Strike (Shining Wizard)!
Steve White: These 5 women and Santa are punishing Dan Anderson and there’s nothing The Age of Fall can do! It’s over for Anderson tonight!
Chuck Thompson: Santa looks freaking jacked!!
Santa lines Dan Anderson up! He crawls around, groggy and hurt! He stands up and Santa goes for the Superkick but Jacob and Jay reach in from the apron and drag Dan Anderson out of the ring, causing Santa to miss and the fans to boo!
Steve White: Anderson saved at the very last moment by The Age of Fall!
Chuck Thompson: So fucking close!
The Age of Fall backs up the ramp with Dan Anderson in their arms as they threaten and insult everyone back in the ring! Chelsea and Joanna get up on the ropes and yell back! Alexandria hangs out of the ropes and tells them to come back! Zoe gets on the turnbuckle and yells back and Rebecca slides out of the ring and tells them to come and fight her! Santa stands in the back and claps as his Christmas music hits again!
Steve White: Well ladies and gentlemen that’s all we have time for and it’s been an amazing night! We’ll see you next week for Retribution! Have a great new year and a happy 2024! Good night and be safe!

It’s SEASONS BEATINGS tonight on Mayhem so it’s a big Merry Christmas to you all but SO MUCH has happened here on Mayhem and surrounds in the past week including a NEW EHWF World Champion when we saw Sah’ta Thor trade Ace Pena something for his EHWF Amulet to cash in on Thea Nefeli after her main event defense to reclaim the World Championship!! It's a massive Christmas Special of mayhem and what a way to kick things off! Sah'ta Thor pulled off a massive opportunity at Battlefield where he made a trade for Ace Pena's EHWF Amulet to cash in on Thea Nefeli at the end of the night and defeat her for the EHWF World Championship after she had just defended it! With the help of Isabella, Ace and Thorn Enterprises - Thor is now once again the EHWF World Champion much to the disappointment of Thea Nefeli that night! Thea and Mazzio were PISSED after Battlefield and tonight, shit is about to get real as Mazzio and Joyride go head to head with Thor and Thorn Enterprises to kick off the night!
Chuck Thompson: I can’t wait for this one Steve, that’s gonna be an interesting main event but we’ve got a MASSIVE grudge match set up before that! It's been a long time since Michael Rissi and Scott Wilson teamed up but with things heating up the way they have been recently on Mayhem - tonight they'll come together once again after so many years to take on Mass Mancini and David Ashburn in a brutal Christmas Chaos Tag Team Match! Michael Rissi is out for redemption since his return and Scott Wilson is ready to make an impact and gain a little revenge while doing so! Mass and David have one of the biggest opportunities of their careers to knock off two of the greatest! Don't miss this huge Christmas Chaos encounter!
Steve White: That is gonna be insane! Tonight is a night of opportunity and in this Ultimate X-Mas match there will be two tinsel and Christmas light cables crossed above the ring on scaffolding in the shape of an "X" with two briefcases hanging on either side of where the cables meet in the center. D'Rocco, Anderson, Maddox and Bladsco will all fight it out to climb across the cables and free one of the briefcases to reveal a prize! There will be two winners in this contest and two losers but so much is riding on this one for these 4 men!!
Chuck Thompson: And speaking of incredible: Tonight's main event will see some of the best stars in the business today go head to head in another match of opportunity: A Christmas Tree Match! The rules are simple - there is a 35 Foot Christmas Tree in the center of the ring with Christmas themed weapons all around the ring, the outside and hanging from the tree! The only way to win is to climb to the top and unhook the star sitting at the top of the tree! Alexandria Kendrick and Rebecca Delfina are in need of big wins! Joanna Rissi and Zoe McDraven are back to their winning ways and have seen recent success and Chelsea LeClair is still undefeated and has gone from strength to strength! Only one of these incredible competitors can walk away with this big win tonight! Don't miss it!!
Steve White: It’s Seasons Beatings here live on Saturday Night Mayhem and I can’t wait Chuck!!
Chuck Thompson: I can’t wait for tonight, Steve! Lets start the show!
As Steve and Chuck finish running down the show for the night the camera pans to the ring. In the center of the ring is none other than the new EHWF World Champion Sah'ta Thor. He was dressed in the customary jeans and t-shirt combo that marked his fight attire. Around his waist gleamed the polished surface of the EHWF World Championship. As soon as he hears the commentary team fall silent Thor lifts his head to look around the arena as he lifts a microphone to his lips.
Sah'ta Thor: Isn't it interesting the unexpected way life changes in sudden ways. We all know how Battlefield turned out and I once again stand before you as the EHWF World Champion. Yet, I will be honest with you all, after I lost this title to Thea back in September I had no expectation of ever holding EHWF gold again. Given my medical condition and the waivers I have signed, the fact that I am even still allowed to actively compete has been fine with me. Though we also can't forget that I was contractually under the threat of the Hangman's Clause that I used to get Michael Rissi out of the company. Now as we all know Joanna returned last month and beat me in a match for that contract. Of course, she won and in the end ripped the contract to shreds to allow Michael to return.
There is a pause as Thor runs his empty hand over the surface of the title around his waist.
Sah'ta Thor: Now the obvious fact of Joanna's decision was obviously the return of her husband. A reality that has yet to fully be understood inside the EHWF machine. However, it opened up the way for me to once again hold a EHWF title without being terminated at the end of that night. All I needed was a way to get into the title match that couldn't be argued with. While going into Battlefield, I hadn't come up with anything I wasn't concerned, since I was dealing with a matter from my past. Though as we all know things turned out a lot different from my expectations. As you will recall in the shows going into Battlefield, Ace Pena won the first ever EHWF Amulet. This Amulet was a guaranteed shot for a title at any time of his choosing. However, an additional rule of the EHWF Amulet is that it could be traded to any other member of the roster for any thing of Ace's desire. Furthermore, multiple attempts were made by others on the roster to get Ace to trade them his EHWF Amulet.
Another pause for impact and breath occurs as Thor thoughtfully caresses the EHWF World Mayhem Title. He lets his words hang in the air for a moment before finally continuing on.
Sah'ta Thor: Let me be brutally honest here going into Battlefield I fully expected to go to war with Scott Wilson and shed some blood. I would have settled for that in all honesty, yet that isn't what happened at all. You see, after the Mixed Tag Team Title match while The Rissis were going at it with the Mayhem half of the Age of the Fall I was approached with an offer. Astryd approached me with a business proposal that would change a few careers. All I had to do was get out of my match with Scott with the least amount of damage to myself as possible. Which as you all saw came to be after I got disqualified by hitting over the head with a steel chair. Sure in the end nothing was solved there and Scott has another reason to kill me but in the end I will deal with that as I can.
Thor falls silent as he unbuckles the EHWF World Championship from his waist and lifts into the air as he looks it over for an intense moment.
Sah'ta Thor: After my match with Scott I went backstage and met with Thorn Enterprises to conclude a mutually satisfactory business deal. I got the EWHF Amulet and the title shot it represented in exchange for a favor of my own. I know you all want to know what that favor was. However, I feel that the other parties involved in this deal should be out here first.
With a grin on his lips Thor turns to stare up the ramp as "Win This War" by Moana A x Koda Kids begins to play in the arena. A few seconds into the song Astryd Thorn steps out from behind the curtain leading her clients the NEW EHWF Mixed Tag Team Champions Ace Pena and Isabella Thorn. The new mixed tag champions have the belts over their shoulders as they follow Astryd down the ramp to the ring. Once there they all get into the ring where Thor is waiting. Inside the ring they each get a microphone.
Astryd Thorn: Congratulations Champ. Though I guess that should be said to all of you after Battlefield."
All three of the Champions in the ring lift their respective titles as Astyd pulls a folded up piece of paper from her pocket. She unfolds it and holds it up to the camera. It is revealed to be a copy of the contract transferring the EHWF Amulet to Thor's ownership at Battlefield. She lowers the contract with a smirk on her lips and gives Thor a slight night before speaking.
Astryd Thorn: So you were just about to share with the world the nature of our business transaction. Which as many can assume has something to do with the EHWF Mayhem World Title. Go ahead and be so kind as to enlighten the world as to what the future entails.
Thor just shakes his head slightly before taking a deep breath. This was a moment that he had hoped he would live to have but now that it was here he couldn't help but wonder at its cost.
Sah'ta Thor: Yes, let's end the suspense shall we. For my side the deal was simple. I got the EHWF Amulet in return for 2 simple things. The first was my blessing for Ace to officially join the family when is ready to make that move. The second, however, is that at Retribution I will be defending the EHWF World Championship against Isabella Thorn in a match of her choosing. Yes I am aware that this arrangement will cause several folks to be more than a little perturbed but remember this all business. And as such who in the back wouldn't have made a deal of their own if it ensured they would become the EHWF World Champion.
The crowd goes insane with shock causing them to explode in a wave of noise as Thor is forced to fall silent while holding his title into the air. After a minute Isabella raises her hand before bringing a microphone to her lips.
Isabella Thorn: That is right, a business deal was made even though it disadvantages several others on the roster in the short term. The deal was witnessed and signed off on by a EWHF lawyer and ultimately approved by Mr. Gomez. So you see there are only two things you can do about this; Complain about it and waste your breath or shut up and accept what you can't change. Regardless of what you decide, the reality is that at Retribution it will be Sah'ta Thor defending the EHWF World Championship against Isabella Thorn in a Steel Cage Match. After all, we both know that the match type not only has meaning to us both but that we each have outside contenders to keep out of our match.
Having delivered those words Isabella lowers the microphone from her lips as she lets her words sink in. After all, there was a signed contract for the match that had just been revealed. Oh, she knew there would be many looking to get a shot at her but that was a matter for another day. Having delivered her side of the business arrangement Isabella nods to Ace and the pair move to stand in the corner with Thor to await their opposing trio.
The arena is buzzing with anticipation as Sah'ta Thor, Ace Pena, and Isabella Thorn stand in the center of the ring, having just addressed the mixed crowd. The atmosphere is tense, and the crowd eagerly awaits the next moment. The lights dim, and the powerful entrance theme of Mazzio begins to play! The crowd erupts as Mazzio, accompanied by his wife Thea and Nina Chanel, makes their way to the ring. Mazzio, with a stern expression on his face, climbs into the ring with purpose, flanked by Thea and Nina. Thea looks livid as she struts with purpose, her arm all bandaged up. Mazzio snatches a microphone from a producer outside.
Mazzio: Sah'ta Thor... You disgust me... Using Ace Pena's EHWF Amulet to cash in on my wife last week while she was hurt and tired just so you could steal the EHWF World Championship from her? That's a new low, even for you! But I can't say was surprised. Bitch boy Ace Pena trades in his EHWF Amulet for a shot at your daughter - even trading in your own daughter, Thor because you will do WHATEVER it takes to make sure you hold the EHWF World Championship.
The crowd boos, expressing their disapproval of Thor's actions.
Mazzio: Now, Thor, you're going to pay for your deeds because that's my fucking wife and for a year you've manipulated and targeted her and you've thought you can go around and do whatever you want uncheck on Mayhem. You've made a grave mistake, and tonight, you're going to face the consequences. I don't give a fuck how you spin it or what you have to say or what anyone here has to say. I see you for what you are and your ambition for the EHWF Championship has no respect for anyone, even your own family.
Thea steps forward, holding a microphone, her disappointment evident on her face.
Thea Nefeli: I never thought it would end like this. I'm disappointed that my run as champion is over, especially at the hands of you, Thor and the way it ended at Battlefield. It turns out I was right about you all along, Thor. All of your bullshit about wanting to face me, wanting to defend against me... I don't care how you swing it, it was all a ploy and I was a pawn from the start. You're the one who saw me as champion, as the only person pure enough to trust you and accept your bullshit and listen to you. Your daughter is the one who helped this no-hoper Ace Pena win the EHWF Amulet because she knew she could get it to you and you could get the title back.
The crowd cheers in support of Thea, acknowledging her resilience.
Thea Nefeli: I may have a minor injury from last week, but I demanded to compete tonight because I want to teach you a lesson, Thor. You may have the title now, but I will not let you tarnish the legacy of the EHWF World Championship with his underhanded tactics. I won't let you get away with shortening or tarnishing my reign as champion, something I worked so hard for. So tonight, I'm going to beat you. I'm going to beat "The Champion" and embarrass you and prove to the world why they called me champion up until last week.
Nina grabs a microphone and adds her voice to the mix.
Nina Chanel: You messed with the wrong couple, Thor. Tonight, justice will be served, and you'll pay for your deceitful actions. You've got NO IDEA how hard Thea worked to get to the top. You didn't work for it. You cashed in a briefcase to get your title. You cashed in an amulet to get it back. You're an opportunist and I think you actually believe your own bullshit now, Thor.
Mazzio: Enough of the bullshit. No one cares - lets just start this damn match and get this over and done with.
The tension in the ring intensifies as Mazzio, Thea, and Nina stand united, ready to confront Sah'ta Thor, Ace Pena, and Isabella Thorn. The crowd eagerly anticipates the upcoming clash between these competitors.
We cut to the ring where Illa Isabella is waiting with a mic.
Illa Isabella: This opening contest tonight is set for one fall!
Illa gets Mazzio, Thea and Nina on one side of the ring and points to them as the fans are going wild!
Illa Isabella: Introducing First… Already inside the ring… The team of Mazzio and Joyride!!
Illa comes over to a pissed off looking Thor who gets ready in his corner with Ace and Isabella in front of him.
Illa Isabella: And their opponents tonight… Also, already inside the ring… The EHWF Mixed Tag Team Champions… Ace Pena and Isabella Thorn… And the EHWF World Champion… Sah’ta Thor!!

Illa Isabella: Here are your winners… The team of Mazzio and Joyride!!
Steve White: It’s over! Thea pins the champ! Thea does it! What a fucking match! Thea Nefeli just pinned the EHWF Champion!
Chuck Thompson: Thor and Co get a bit of karma from a passionate Thea Nefeli!
The fans go WILD for Thea and their support is evident as the cheer for her! Thea gets up, emotional as Mazzio and Nina help her with her music playing in the background! Thor is on the outside, coming to as he looks up at Thea in the ring.
Steve White: Such a strange act to see Ace Pena not help out or tag out to Thor, instead dropping off of the apron and who the heck knows what that means?!
Chuck Thompson: I think with Isabella Thorn’s aspirations, it means a lot more than we think!!
Ace and Isabella back off up the ramp to the stage and look at the situation below. Thor turns his head from Thea and looks up at Ace and Isabella at the top of the stage, staring at them as we fade out to a commercial.
The electrifying drums and guitar riff of “Werewolf” reverberate through the Miami arena as the crowd erupts for Scott Wilson's entrance. The camera zeroes in on the stage where Scott stands, taking in the atmosphere. A band-aid adorns the top-left of his forehead, likely a remnant from the chair shot that secured his marred victory over Sah'ta Thor at Battlefield. Wilson strolls down the ramp, exchanging high-fives with enthusiastic fans, his expression unwaveringly serious. He completes the circuit to ringside, grabbing a microphone from Illa before rolling into the squared circle. Letting out a visible sigh, Wilson waits for the crowd's fervor to subside before starting his promo, but the Floridian energy only intensifies.
Miami Crowd: YOU WERE ROBBED! YOU WERE ROBBED! YOU WERE ROBBED! YOU WERE ROBBED!
Scott can't help but chuckle, bringing the mic closer to his mouth.
Scott Wilson: Trust me, I share that exact sentiment...
The crowd cheers at Wilson's acknowledgment of their chant, finally settling down to hear the Hall of Famer speak.
Scott Wilson: As I'm sure many of you know, it's real hard to have any respect for someone who took precious time away from me. We don't have to beat around the bush; I'm obviously talking about Thor, and it's no secret with anyone that I can't stand the guy. You see, a lot of people don't really understand the magnitude of his actions back in 2018. They don't understand what he put me through... The adversity I had to overcome... Just to feel HALFWAY decent most days. I took my health for granted for a long time and when it started not to be a guarantee that I could get back to 100 percent, it left me fighting a mental war more often than a physical one. I'm able to stand here in Miami, Florida, in the FLXcast Arena, on THIS special episode of Mayhem, as your recipient of EHWF's Return of the Year...
The crowd interrupts with small cheers, expressing their excitement for Wilson.
Scott Wilson: ... And yet, I don't feel rewarded at all. I don't feel celebrated and as nice as the honor may seem, I don't give a damn about it. When I made my return to the EHWF back in July, I had one goal in mind... I wanted to kick the shit out of Sah'ta Thor. Frankly, I didn't care at first how I got my hands on him. I wanted to make him feel just a FRACTION of the pain he put me through. Not only did I want to hurt him, I wanted to end his career. But then I saw him in person for the first time in five years... And I saw him in the ring, where his body and mind would LITERALLY give out on him mid-fight. Like I said earlier, respect for Thor was practically non-existent, but some part of me understood his desire... Even with all the odds stacking against him, even with his body being on borrowed time, he continued to be the same son of a bitch I knew from the back then. And as much as I HATE to admit it, I gained a small amount of respect for the pale fucker...
Scott turns to the Mayhem titantron, directing the audience's attention to it.
Scott Wilson: And you know what happened when I gave the bastard a sliver of respect? He does this to me...
An instant replay from the Battlefield event plays on the tron. Wilson and Thor exchange brutal blows outside the ring, culminating in Wilson getting struck with a steel chair. The Miami crowd erupts in boos, reliving Thor's deceitful move. The match gets called off, and the camera transitions back to Scott leaned against the turnbuckles.
Scott Wilson: If you give a slimy sack of shit like Thor an inch, he'll find a way to turn it against you... Every. Single. Time. Not only did he prove in our match, he proved it at the end of Battlefield when he weaseled his way back into holding the EHWF World Championship. And you mean to tell me that EHWF, in good faith, voted HIM as their Man of the Year? Somebody needs to help me understand this...
Wilson drops to the mat, heads to ringside, and walks gingerly towards some fans in the front row.
Scott Wilson: Here's my question to you bunch right here; given Thor's sopping twat in-between his legs, as evidenced by him YET AGAIN running from me, shouldn't he have won Woman of the Year instead?
The fans enthusiastically agree, and Scott, satisfied, moves to another group just behind the announce table.
Scott Wilson: And for you wonderful ladies and gentlemen, do you think it's fair for Thor to accept the title of “Man of the Year” and the EHWF World Championship when he REFUSES to face me like one...?
A fan snatches the microphone, shouting in agreement before it's cut off. Wilson is handed a new mic and returns to the ring.
Scott Wilson: I think Miami has spoken. Thor, you can't keep running from me forever. I know you probably thought that getting yourself DQ'd from our match meant that you'd get a break from me. But the truth is, I'm even more determined than ever to dog-walk you across this ring. And now that you're EHWF World Champ again, it'll make my victory all the sweeter when I rip that title from your soon-to-be-DYING hands. I'll be seeing you real soon...
Picking up from where it left off, “Werewolf” resumes playing as Scott exits the ring and walks back up the ramp, hyping the crowd up along the way as Mayhem cuts to a quick commercial interruption.
A camera shifts towards the parking lot entrance of the arena. A few seconds later, the doors open and one by one, the Age of Fall enter the building, the group dressed in all black clothing. The camera follows the group as the four walk down the hallway with Dan being at the front of the group, a stoic expression on their faces. The group shifts their gazes towards the camera, Dan beginning to speak.
Dan Anderson: Its the new year and the Age of Fall is looking to start 2024 off on the right foot. I'll admit that things didn't go so well for us on the previous shows. Sure, we can beat ourselves up for coming up short in our respective matches. But, we're not going to let the losses get to us. Instead, we will use the losses as motivation and bounce back, better than ever.
The Age of Fall nod their heads in agreement to what Dan said, looking forward to the new year and what it may hold for them.
Dan Anderson: There has been one question that's constantly been our minds for a little while now. What's the Age of Fall's next move? Do we take the slow approach by scratching and clawing our way up the mountain? Do we stand idly by, watching the others pass us by, and wait for our moment to land at our feet? Or do we go out there and take our moment by force?
Dan takes a brief pause, running a hand through his hair, a serious expression beginning to appear on his face.
Dan Anderson: I think the better option for us is to...take what we want by force. While we have been here for a little while, we're not going to stand by, waiting for a measly scrap of food to be tossed our way. We are a couple of hungry jackals and it's time for us to feast. We will not be passed by! We will not be overlooked! We will not allow ourselves to kicked around! We're going to have everyone take notice of us by creating some...carnage. Cause a little havoc on both shows. Leave a trail of destruction. By the end of it all, everyone will remember the Age of Fall. Let this be a warning to everyone. Nobody is safe. We will strike when you least expect it so if it would be wise to grow some eyes in the back of your head and keep your head on a swivel. Now, if you will excuse us, I got a match to prepare for.
A slight grin appears on Dan's face as he pushes the camera out of his way, the group continuing to walk down the hallway until they reach the door of a locker room. The camera readjusts and moves in the direction that the Age of Fall went. The camera catches the group entering the room and as Dan closes the door, he notices the camera is pointed at the room. Dan stares down the camera, slowly closing the door, the camera fading to black once the door is closed.
We cut to the ring where Illa Isabella is waiting with a mic.
Illa Isabella: This following contest is a tag team Christmas Chaos match set for one fall!
Taking you down plays the arena as the fans give a jaded reaction to the entrance of Ashburn. Gold and blue pyro goes off as David makes his way out on the stage and throws off his robe! He shows off and flexes his muscles on the stage and gets into the crowd then makes his way through the ramp and down to the ring looking calm and cool. Ashburn gets in and raises his arms to the fans and begins to prepare getting himself psyched up for the forth coming match.

The guitar riff to "Werewolf" begins to ripple throughout the arena. Scott Wilson appears on the entrance stage and after a quick glance at the crowd, begins to make his way to ringside. He stops to limber himself up before entering the ring.

We fade in backstage where Rebecca Delfina stands on the Mayhem interview platform, next to Chiara Milliani ready for an interview.
Chirara Milliani: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here backstage with Rebecca Delfina, who is gearing up for a unique Christmas Tree match tonight. Rebecca, how are you feeling about tonight's match?
Rebecca Delfina: Thanks, Chirara. Well, I've got mixed emotions right now. Last week, I had the opportunity to capture the Hardcore Championship, and unfortunately, things didn't go my way. I'm disappointed in my performance, but that's the nature of this business. You win some, you lose some.
Chirara Milliani: It's tough when things don't go as planned, but tonight is a new opportunity for you. How do you plan to approach the Christmas Tree match?
Rebecca Delfina: I'm putting last week behind me. The Christmas Tree match is mine to win, and I'm ready to embrace it. I'm going to climb that tree, grab that star, and secure the victory. I've been training hard, both mentally and physically, to make sure I don't walk away disappointed again.
Chirara Milliani: Climbing the tree sounds like a daunting task. 4 other top women in there with you. How do you plan to win? Seems incredibly difficult to me.
Rebecca Delfina: I know my opponents are tough... current champions and hall of famers some of them. I've got something to prove tonight. I've got the determination and the will to win, and I'm not letting anything stand in my way. It's time for redemption, and that Christmas Tree star is coming home with me. I don't care about Joanna, Alexandria, Chelsea or Zoe and how good they are.
Chirara Milliani: There you have it, folks. Rebecca Delfina is focused and determined to climb that Christmas Tree and come out victorious. Stay tuned for what promises to be an unforgettable match here tonight!
Rebecca walks off as we cut out and fade in backstage.
The feed is suddenly interrupted as we see Sah’ta Thor sitting on a production crate backstage while he’s being checked over by a medical offical. The medic suddenly backs off as we see Scott Wilson coming in the other direction, limping and hobbling in the backstage area with a towel full of blood as he’s just coming off of his match a few moment ago. Thor and Wilson lock eyes.
Scott Wilson: What the fuck? What the fuck are you doing back here?
Sah’ta Thor: Well, you look like shit…
Scott Wilson: At least I won my match, you dirty piece of shit. How you can hold that title next to you right now makes me fuckin’ sick.
The medic steps back as Thor and Wilson come up close and Thor comes off of the production crate. Wilson wipes some blood from his forehead and looks Thor up and down.
Sah’ta Thor: All I see is me holding this belt though. Not you, not Thea, not Mazzio… just me. Doesn’t matter how many matches you win or how many I lose. The result is still the same. I’m the champion.
Scott Wilson: True… Well, maybe I’ve got a chance to finish what I started at Battlefield then… Seeing as it’s clear I don’t give a fucking shit what an asshole like you has to say.
The fans back in the arena watching on the tron go WILD as Wilson uppercuts Thor in the mouth! Wilson gets on top of Thor on the production crate and starts hitting him with big right hands!

Wilson picks up Thor and hits him with a right hand that sends him stumbling up the path! Wilson shoves a ref off of him! Thor shoves a ref off of him and Thor boots Wilson in the gut when he comes at him! Thor might be ill but Thor can see Wilson is hurt and tired and he tosses him back first into a roller door! Thor grabs a 2x4 from the ground and swings it but Wilson ducks! Thor hits the wall! Wilson blindsides him with a punch to the side of the head!
Scott Wilson: You motherfucker! There’s nowhere for the man of the year to run now, huh?
Wilson grabs a sound boom and starts to choke Thor from behind with it as Thor struggles and coughs! Imanov and Blood Red attack Wilson from behind and start beating him up! Wilson gets stomped out in a pool of his own blood on the concrete as Thor tries to get up, gasping!

Alejandro Gomez: What the fuck do you think you’re doing!?
Security struggles to hold Rissi but he backs off! The separate Thor and Wilson and everyone is broken up as Alejandro and Fernandez stand in the middle of all the mayhem!
Fernandez Gomez: Rissi, Wilson, Thor! The three of you assholes are OUT OF HERE tonight! You’re done! Leave the fucking arena immediately! Get the fuck out of here!
Michael Rissi: Are you fucking serious? I was stoping a beatdown! I still gotta watch Joanna in the main event tonight you fucking asshole!
Alejandro Gomez: I don’t give a fuck who you got to watch! You fucked up and now you’re outta here for the rest of the night! You three are DONE! You leave the fucking arena NOW or I’ll…
Fernandez Gomez: You’re outta here… You leave the arena now or I’ll suspend all three of you and that suspension won’t end until AFTER Final Destination! You fucking assholes want to play with me? Escort these men out and if they give you trouble, let me know and I’ll process their suspensions instantly!
A group of 50 security and refs has formed and they push and prod Michael, Thor and Scott away and towards the exit of the arena.
Alejandro Gomez: HA! You’ll have to watch your wife tonight on the EHWF Network on your phone you dumb asshole!
Scott Wilson: Fuck! Michael I’m sorry!
As they lead the three men away and escort them out.
Michael Rissi: Fuck you Gomez - you fuckin’ cunt!
The ruckus and shouting ends as the three men and the parade of security and officials exits the backstage area to the lobby. Fernandez and Alejandro turn around but they run into a smirking Dan Anderson who has the rest of The Age of Fall behind him. Dan Anderson looks on with a smirk as he comes eye to eye with an unimpressed Fernandez Gomez.
Fernandez Gomez: What…
Dan Anderson: I said earlier tonight that The Age of Fall was sick and tired of being treated like we don’t matter… Remember when I said that.
Alejandro Gomez: You don’t fuckin’ matter. What’s your point?
Dan Anderson: I’m still pissed off about that mixed tag team match last week. I swore I’d get revenge but I HOPE you were listening to everything else I fucking said earlier tonight…
Fernandez Gomez: …
Dan Anderson: Now those guys are gone and barred from the place tonight, maybe Mayhem and Seasons Beatings can be fun now… But first, let me go and win this match I got coming up… You can finally see what real talent looks like.
Anderson storms off and the rest of The Age of Fall follow him as the fans cheer and the Gomez brothers look confused.
We cut to the ring where Illa Isabella is waiting with a mic.
Illa Isabella: This following contest is an Ultimate X-Mas match where 2 briefcases will be up for grabs!
Again by Flyleaf blasts over The PA Systems as Michael Maddox walks on The Stage in his Trademarked Leather Jacket engraved withThe Words The Floridian Psychopath on it.

Illa Isabella: Introducing First Tonight… The Florida Psychopath… Mike Maddox!
Mark Bladsco comes out, a changed man, straighten his tie and shirt as he waves to the fans while he makes his way down the ramp to his sensible music. Mark Bladsco gets in side the ring and nods along and waves out to the fans who give him a mixed reaction. Bladsco sits in the corner and waits for the match to begin.
Illa Isabella: And next up… “Scorpion”… Mark Bladsco!
"Playing the Saint" by Digital Summer begins to play throughout the arena, the lights dimming down until there's a single spotlight on the stage. A few seconds later, Dan Anderson slowly makes his way out, standing in the spotlight. Dan holds his arms out, a slight smirk on his face as he soaks in the crowd's reaction, looking out towards the crowd. He lowers his arms, adjusting his jacket then makes his way towards the ring, the spotlight following him. Once he reaches the ring, he slowly goes up the steel steps, walks along the apron until he reaches a turnbuckle, climbing to the second rope. The smirk still on his face as he holds one finger up in the ring, staying in that pose for a couple of seconds then hops into the ring. He goes to the middle of the ring, slowly raises a hand up and snaps his fingers, the arena lighting back up. He takes off his jacket, tosses it to the outside then rolls his shoulders, and pops his neck while pacing around the ring. After pacing around the ring for a bit, he goes to the nearest corner, crouches down, clasps his gloved hands together, and stares straight ahead.
Illa Isabella: And next up… Dan Anderson!

Chelsea LeClair is with her EHWF Jr. Heavyweight Championship, but that’s not the only hardware that she has with her as she happens to have a few awards that she won as well. She’s definitely beaming with happiness, knowing that she really made a strong first impression during her first year in EHWF. At the same time though, she knows that she has to be all business as she begins to express her thoughts.
Chelsea LeClair: Talk about a hell of a haul, huh? Yeah, I did go through so much shit when I first got here. This championship definitely signifies that and I had to go through hell to gain it and I’ve had to go through just as much hell to retain it. To win awards on top of this such as being a world title prospect of 2024, my title win being the most memorable moment and of course, ‘newcomer of the year’ on top of all that? It definitely does feel special. However, this is a new year…
And as happy as I am about 2023, I know in my heart that this year WILL be even better starting with this… odd… kind of match that is happening tonight…
Chelsea takes a pause as she thinks about the stipulation.
Chelsea LeClair: We have this ‘Christmas Tree’ match… which on one hand, it’s kind of weird that we’re doing this AFTER the holidays, but at the same time, I know that this is a match where you have to have eyes in the back of your head not just because of how the tree is filled with weapons, but also because of the competitors of this match. I’ve got what it takes, for sure but when you consider the other competitors? This is definitely not going to be easy. I started out my career in EHWF by facing Future Shock so I know what to expect from the likes of Zoe McDraven. Alexandria Kendrick is one of the biggest names this company has ever seen, there is no denying that. I know precisely what Joanna Rissi is capable of since we’ve crossed paths here and there and even someone like Rebecca Delfina is someone that is incredibly capable of having one good day that can make all the difference in the world. She and Kendrick are definitely going to be a bit desperate considering they are starving for that big win.
Zoe and Joanna may have some momentum going but at the end of the day, I’m the one that’s got the most momentum out of the five. I don’t know what the prize in the star is going to be, but you can bet your ass that I am looking to maintain and continue my momentum from last year. What you saw out of me in 2023 was me proving that I’m not ‘just a pretty face’ and that I can hang in this company no matter what obstacles that come my way or what kind of match I have to be in. Yes, I am the EHWF Junior Heavyweight Champion and I have nothing but appreciation and happiness for the journey that I’ve had with this championship.
BUT…
One of my awards definitely indicates that I am capable of more and that some people in this company see it too! I’ve been a three time world champion in my own right but none of those three reigns were reigns that I could say I was satisfied with. I’ve got to start thinking about taking that next step, with proving once and for all that I can be that top tier wrestler I’ve striven to be ever since I broke free from my own addictions. This match is the beginning of that for me and damn it, I’m not going to be denied. The four of you are going to make it a tough fight for me and I can respect that, but at the end of the day? This is the year that I show the world that I’m not going to settle for second best! That’s my mission for this year and that star I’m about to win is a fitting symbolism of what I’m about to evolve to this year.
Chelsea then makes her exit from the scene at this point, hearing the cheers and maintaining her confidence as the scene fades out.
We cut to the ring where Illa Isabella is waiting with a mic.
Illa Isabella: This main event contest is a Christmas Tree Match!
The lights fade out, as a maniacal laugh from Alexandria can be heard right before "No World for Tomorrow" by Coheed & Cambria begins to blare throughout the arena. The lights come back in with a teal hue, as the crowd erupts with boos. Alexandria Kendrick steps out onto the stage, staring down at the ring, refusing to break her focus. Her long, black hair was tied back into a braided ponytail. She wore black compression shorts that ended just below her knees with a teal grim reaper design on the left leg while "Kendrick" in teal font went down her right leg. On her upper torso she wore a similar compression style women's tanktop that clung tightly to her body, to the delight of many in the crowd. She makes her way down the ramp, shaking her wrists and limbering up as she does so. She rolls into the ring underneath the bottom rope, quickly pushing herself up to her feet like a jump, showing off some of her strength. Alex would stand in the middle of the ring, pulling a pair of gloves out from her cleavage and pulling them on, one at a time. They seemed to also have a teal wolf design on each glove. She makes sure her fingers are in tight before pulling the velcro over, tightening the gloves around her wrist before popping her knuckles. She would then suddenly jump forward, placing her right foot on the bottom rope and catching her left foot onto the middle rope while grabbing a hold of the top rope with her left hand. Alex then raises her right fist into the air. "No World for Tomorrow" would slowly begin to fade out. Alex would hop off of the ropes and back into the corner, waiting for the bell to ring.
Illa Isabella: Introducing First Tonight… Alexandria Kendrick!
Electricity by Silk City & Dua Lipa hits the speakers as the arena dims leaving red and white lights strobe through. The fans cheer as Rebecca steps out from behind the curtain. Standing in the center of the ramp she spreads her arms slightly as she extends her arms out to the side with her elbows bent.
Walking down the ramp, she runs her hand threw her hair before tagging some of the fans hands with her own as they reach over the barricade desperately, trying to high five her. She spins around and tries to high five as many hands as she can when she gets to the ringside area.
As she walks up the steal steps Rebecca has a confident smirk on her face as she walks along the apron's edge. Wiping her feet off before entering the ring under the second rope, she stands back up, flipping her hair over her shoulder before walking to the furthest side of the ring where she warms up for her match.
Illa Isabella: And next up… Rebecca Delfina!
The opening of 'Be Right Here' by Kungs hits the speakers as the arena dims leaving orange and green lights strobbed throughout. The fans cheer as Joanna steps out from behind the curtain. Standing in the center of the ramp she raises her arms to the cheering fans!
Walking down the ramp, she runs her hand through her hair before tagging some of the fans hands as they reach over the barricade with cheers! The fiery Joanna breaks out into a sprint as the theme reaches it's peak drop on the speakers!
As she walks up the steal steps Joanna has a confident stride as she walks along the apron's edge, wiping her boots off on the apron before entering the ring under the second rope, she stands back up, flipping her hair over her shoulder and performing theatrics in the ring and on the corner before walking to the furthest side of the ring where she warms up for her match.
Illa Isabella: And making her way to the ring… Joanna Rissi!
Soft pink lights begin to flicker around the entrance as the opening guitar riff plays along with the video package on the tron. As the lyrics start, Zoe pushes aside the curtain, walking out slowly with a smirk on her face.
“I’ll stop the whole world
I’ll stop the whole world
From turning us into a monster
And eating us alive”
As the chorus pops, she throws a fist into the air, then makes her way to the ring, sliding under the bottom rope to leap up to her feet and pose in the middle of the ring.
Illa Isabella: And next tonight… She is the EHWF Hardcore Champion… The Supernova… Zoe McDraven!
"Chelsea" by STEFY hits and the fans cheer as Chelsea LeClair walks through the curtains, poised, confident and determined to make things happen in this match as she begins to walk down the aisle. She soaks in some cheers a bit as she gets to ringside and at this point, she's all business as she slides into the ring. Soaking things in a bit more, she climbs up the corner to the second rope with a smile, a fist raised in the air and a quick point to the crowd before she hops back down to the corner, leans against it and waits for the match to begin.
Illa Isabella: And Finally… She is the EHWF Jr Heavyweight Champion… Chelsea LeClair!
DING DING DING!
Main Event: Alexandria Kendrick vs. Chelsea LeClair vs. Joanna Rissi vs. Rebecca Delfina vs. Zoe McDraven
The bell rang, and the Christmas Tree Match was underway. The competitors wasted no time, immediately darting towards the Christmas-themed weapons scattered around the ring and on the tree. Alexandria Kendrick grabbed a candy cane kendo stick, while Chelsea LeClair opted for a tinsel-wrapped steel chair. Joanna Rissi and Zoe McDraven exchanged glances before simultaneously reaching for a pair of Christmas Pinecones. Rebecca Delfina, with a determined look in her eyes, headed straight for the Christmas tree with no hesitation!
