The scene opens up as official opening theme song of EHWF Salvation, "Divine" by All That Remains, is playing in the background. We pan into the scene where we see fans screaming in the crowd in the Tingley Coliseum! We get a clear shot of the arena and all the fans. As we cut to the pyrotechnics show, we move onto the broadcast area at ringside where Alexander Corvis and Maddie Murdock are waiting to start the night!
Alexander Corvis: The second contest of the Chaos Cup opening round will see ISIS go head to head with Sika Zih! ISIS has still been on fire and is still one of the most dominant forces in EHWF but she wants that Chaos Cup as much as she wants to meet Ana Somnia one on one in the ring! Sika Zih has barely had much ring time in EHWF as his intense and brutally violent brawls with Mad Sweeney seem to keep getting in the way, with both men out to kill each other since their double debut at Meltdown! Tonight ISIS and Sika Zih see just who is stronger to go into the finals of the Chaos Cup tournament!Maddie Murdock: Last week Ana Somnia and ISIS met face to face in the ring where they had an intense encounter. Mya Gomez revealed that she is putting both Ana and ISIS in the Chaos Cup tournament to find the best there is worthy of the EHWF Unified Global Championship on the Orange Brand! Tonight, Ana Somnia kicks things off in the opening round when she goes head to head with the Masked German Monster, Lord Raab!
Alexander Corvis: Griffin Hawkins has been a gallant EHWF Extreme Champion thus far in EHWF but shit is getting real! First he defeated Sujir in a brutal cage match to win the title. Then he fought Lord Raab, Sujir Thorn and Brian Phillips in an inferno tables match to lock in his first defence. After that The Age of Fall made Griffin and Rebel their next targets and seemingly had their eyes firmly on Griffin's EHWF Extreme Championship! Tonight Griffin defends the gold against Jacob Letoa in an Extreme Rules match! Can Griffin pick up another impressive win or will The Age of Fall make sure he doesn't walk away with the belt tonight?!Maddie Murdock: This is going to be one incredible night! Lets start the show, Alexander!
 We arrive backstage here at Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where we find our frame centered upon none other than Tuesday Night Chaos’s resident backstage interview specialist, ALANYA DENISA. She wears an ensemble that perfectly fits her aesthetic, but the most salient piece of her attire, of course, is the warm and inviting smile she wears on her face. After a brief pause, Denisa introduces our segment.
ALANYA DENISA: “Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. I’m backstage standing by with a special guest who will compete later tonight for the right to be called the first-ever EHWF Olympian Champion! Please join me in welcoming at this time… The Firebird, ATHENA VERONICA!”
The camera pulls back and pans aside to reveal none other than ATHENA VERONICA. While she does have a match tonight, it (as Alanya noted) is not until a bit later in the evening. As such, Athena is clad in the attire she had worn into the building. She wears a short-sleeved black top with a half-turtleneck and a black pair of lycra leggings, as well as a nefarious grin. She nods to Alanya, who continues on the microphone in her hand.
ALANYA DENISA: “Thank you for taking the time to speak with me, Athena. I know you’ve got to go finish getting ready for your huge title match later tonight, so I’ll try to keep it brief. You’ve had a bit of a rollercoaster of a start here in EHWF, haven’t you? Debuting in a six-woman tag team match where your teammate was pinned… you were one of the six women competing for the EHWF Unified Global Championship inside the Meltdown Chamber... a tag team match alongside your newfound mentor and EHWF Hall of Famer, Ana Somnia... and finally your singles debut on the most recent edition of Chaos, where you left with a DQ victory, which I can only imagine was a disappointing outcome for you despite the win. I guess what I’m getting at is… When you look at the caliber of the three women you’re facing tonight for the EHWF Olympian Championship, what can you say about where you stack up? What can you say about how all three of your opponents have reached this opportunity in comparison to how you have?”
Athena narrows her eyes at the interviewer for a moment before placing both open palms against one another as if preparing to pray. She points the tips of her fingers at Alanya before turning her gaze to the camera to begin her response.  ATHENA VERONICA: “That was supposed to be brief?” asks Athena snidely, an eyebrow cocking skyward for the shortest of moments. “Whatever. Yeah, the win last Chaos was disappointing. A win is a win, of course, but there I was expecting a good match, something to keep me warm for an opportunity like the one I have tonight. Instead, I got some catty bitch who knew she was outmatched, so she took the easy way out. I guess if I were her—Goddess forbid—I wouldn’t want to get my lights kicked out by me either.” Grinning arrogantly, Athena shrugs. “But now that the hairspray’s not in my eyes anymore, Alanya? I’m seeing things VERY clearly. And you wanna know what I see?” While the question is obviously rhetorical, Denisa nods anyway. “I see three women who—yeah—they took a more traditional route to tonight’s match. But more than that I see three women whose skulls are about to have my boot take a more traditional route through.”
“First and foremost,” continues the California native. “Ana told me aaallllll about Remi Skyfire before I signed my contract here. I’d seen more than a handful of her matches before, too. Reasonably, you’d think all of that aura she’d built up in my eyes would’ve actually meant something, right? Nope.” Athena shakes her head disdainfully. “She built this incredible reputation, both here in EHWF and abroad. But when I finally got to see her up close and personal? When I finally got to share the ring with her in that six-woman tag in July? When I got to share the cage with her at Meltdown?What I didn’t see was the woman Ana had told me to expect. What I didn’t see was the woman I’d been led to believe was a pillar of this company, maybe even the sport as a whole.” She makes a whole show of sighing loudly. “Instead, I saw a woman riddled with self-doubt, outwardly projecting something… something confident. Cocky. She knows she can’t keep up with athletes like me. I’d commend her for even trying if I weren’t so excited to kick her head into the fifth row.”
“Which brings us to Joanna,” pivots Athena. “I’ll be honest with you, Alanya—I don’t know much about this girl. Every time I’ve seen her, she’s latched onto whatever established veteran she can find to drag into a tag team match with her. Even then, from the outside looking in, her track record here is almost as… let’s say as peculiar as mine. In a match like this one tonight, you can’t really afford to underestimate anyone, especially someone who thinks they have nothing to lose.” Athena shakes her head again “But truth be told, I’m not sure there’s such a thing as underestimating Joanna Penkzee-Nelson. Trying to say her name is more likely to trip me up than she is, you know what I mean? Either way, what I’ll say is that she clearly has the most to gain tonight. Just because she thinks she doesn’t have anything to lose, though, doesn’t mean she doesn’t. I think she’s got quite a bit to lose and I’m looking forward to being the one to make her lose it.”  ATHENA VERONICA: “And last but not least we have Rebel Rhodes,” she says. “It might surprise you to hear me say it, but I actually think it’s her I’m most looking forward to facing later tonight. One of the few women on the roster whose reach can come even close to mine. She’s been in this business longer than any of the rest of us in this match, so she’s obviously an experienced competitor. I know she—and probably everyone else, really—is under the impression her experience gives her some kind of advantage over the rest of us, over me... but the fact of the matter is that sometimes? Sometimes experience can be a weakness.” Alanya is visibly puzzled, so Athena continues on. “Remi and Rebel are two very experienced athletes. They’ve got long, proven track records to their names, but when you spend the kind of time in this sport that Rebel has, you tend to wind up stuck in your ways. The cliché of not being able to teach old dogs new tricks is a cliché for a reason.” Grinning sheepishly, Athena offers a light chuckle. “She’ll probably disagree, but Rebel’s never encountered an athlete of my caliber. Not once in the nearly thirty years she’s been doing this. If she still had the speed and the potency she might’ve had in her youth, I might’ve worried. But even if she did, there’s nobody in this company or this sport whose athleticism and intuitive aptitude comes even close to mine.”
“All of that’s a bit of a roundabout way of answering your question, Alanya,” she says, rubbing the back of her neck with a wry laugh. “You wanted to know where I stack up against these three? Well, you want to know something? I don’t think that’s the question you should be asking. I don’t think that’s a question anyone should be asking.” Emphatically shaking her head from side to side, the Bird of Prey’s expression slowly shifts toward a more nefarious tone. “Once I walk out of here with that EHWF Olympian Championship around my waist later tonight, nobody’s ever going to ask a question like that to me again. So instead of worrying about where I stack up against them, you should be worrying about how they stack up against me. Because they don’t. Nobody does.”
Alanya remains quiet for a moment, nodding her head as she processes Athena’s tirade. Once she’s composed her thoughts, the backstage interview specialist pulls her microphone back toward her own chin, where she gives utterance to her next question.
ALANYA DENISA: “That was a thorough answer, Athena, thank you. We don’t have too much more time so I’ll just move onto the next question. 2024 hasn’t been the kindest to you in terms of championship pursuits. By my count, between MCW and here in EHWF, you’ve competed in eight title matches this year—and you’ve yet to win a single one! What makes tonight different?”
There’s a disquieting silence for a brief moment before Athena nods her head and presses her lips together in contemplation. Her eyes drift to the floor before her gaze glides back to Alanya, whose expression suggests she doesn’t realize how insulting Athena likely finds the use of specific numbers in this question. Athena scoffs under her breath before parting her lips and finally answering the question.
ATHENA VERONICA: “What makes tonight different is that I’m different,” she states rather simply. “More than in any of these other title matches, tonight’s plays to my strengths. The time limit might be on the shorter side, but with four women all at one another’s throats and trying to accrue as many pinfalls and submissions as possible, athleticism, endurance, and adaptability are paramount to being able to find success.” Athena nods for emphasis here, a small smirk making its way across her otherwise sultry visage. “It might sound like an excuse, but when I stepped foot into that Meltdown Chamber, I was still finding my footing here in EHWF. Since then, I’ve won every match I’ve been in—even if one of those wins came by disqualification—have I not? I think it’s fair to say I’ve found some footing—and I’m not just talking about the footholds, the stepping stones I’m going to be making of my opponents tonight.” That aforementioned smirk grows sinister and far wider in the process. “At the end of the day, all of those failures earlier this year? Each and every one of them has prepared me for tonight. To win this match, I need to be an ironwoman. Why do you think I’ve spent so much time training with the Iron Fist herself? Iron sharpens iron, Alanya. And I’ve never been sharper.”  ATHENA VERONICA: “I’ve learned a lot working with Ana these last few months,” she says. “I could go on and on about everything I’ve learned from her about the sport and how I can better influence it, but it’s not what she’s taught me about the sport that I think matters most when it comes to tonight’s title match. I think it’s what she’s taught me about me.” There’s a pause here, as if Athena needs to organize her thoughts more effectively. “I’ve always known I’m capable of great things, of that loftier ambition Ana’s always talking about. But it wasn’t until Ana—and my partner, Neo, of course—showed me how much I’ve held myself back in this business. But now there’s nothing standing between me and accomplishing everything I set my heart on, not any obstacle, not my opponents tonight, and certainly not myself.” She shakes her head to reinforce the sentiment, her brows furrowing slightly. “Tonight’s going to be different because I don’t have any other choice but to make it different. So when I go out there later tonight and I take that EHWF Olympian Championship by any means necessary? Everyone’s going to get a kick out of it.”
Athena sneers imperiously, swaying her hips and placing her hands upon them to narrow her eyes deeply into the camera. She winks at Alanya before turning on her heels and sauntering confidently out of our frame. Her rhythmic footfalls echo through the corridor until she is no longer within earshot, prompting our frame to recenter on Alanya, zooming in slowly. Alanya shrugs and sends us back to ringside, allowing our pay-per-view event to continue the action!  YOU MAKE ME VICIOUS!
WATCH AS I MAKE THE PAIN MY MISTRESS!
YOU CAN CALL ME MISS MALICIOUS,
I'LL DRESS YOU UP IN STITCHES;
NO, I CANNOT RESIST THIS! “Vicious” by Halestorm kicking through the P.A. demands the attention of every fan in VENUE HERE as an enveloping arterial red lighting overwhelms the entire venue. Pandemonium courses through the capacity crowd while a thick fog pervades the entrance stage, emphasizing the foreboding atmosphere. As Lzzy Hale's throaty, powerful vocals continue over the band’s harsh guitars and a vibrant white flashing light overtakes the arena, the Devil Herself saunters through the curtain and steps into the ominous mise-en-scène before her with the Russian flag draped over her back, her head bowed forward. She is flanked on either side by the members of the Somnia Camp in official branded gear.
ANA SOMNIA dons a pair of arterial red boots with azure laces and trim, as well as arterial red knee pads. She, too, wears an azure pair of wet-look high-rise hipsters with arterial red trim and accenting to match her boots, as well as white tape around both wrists with dorsal crosses. Above all of this, the Huntress wears a white wrestling top with a plunging neckline, made of what seems like leather on the outside with azure trim and arterial red accenting, as well as azure laces hanging untied from either side. The Russian Coat of Arms is emblazoned upon her top, just below her left strap. To consummate her ensemble, Ana boasts a cropped black leather biker jacket closed most of the way, WCAFC and NO KNOWN PREDATORS written across the back in arterial red as if it had been clawed into the material.
She lifts her head and lifts the flag up behind her while straightening her arms out to either side, making the flag more rigid and visible for a moment. As Ana hops back and forth between her toes, she releases the flag behind her; the two Russian members of her coaching contingent catch the flag before it can reach the ground, taking the time to fold it before holding it tightly with pride. Briefly, Somnia turns around and individually thanks and bids farewell to her coaches, each of whom offers her one final selection of words of wisdom: ABRAM OLIVEIRA, ANATOLY MEDVEDEV, ARTEM IVANOV, SAMAK VIRAVAIDYA, SORA YUTANI, SUNAN FANG.
When she turns back toward the ring, the arterial red lipstick on Ana’s lips appears even more disdainful and sinister as those lips twist into a malicious sneer. She allows her malevolent gaze to glide from one side of the venue to the other before returning her focus to center, settling her vision on the ring on the far end of the entrance ramp. Ana tilts her chin upward and draws sharp breath through her nose while twitching her upper lip in animalistic resent, baring her white MMA mouthguard—one which is inscribed in arterial red with the Russian word БЕССПОРНЫЙ for Undisputed—to the fans, soon bowing her head forward and nefariously glaring up through her furrowed brow at her theater of war ahead.
The Undisputed then stomps down the ring to ringside, confidence pouring out of every imperious movement she makes. Once she reaches the foot of the entrance ramp, Somnia struts to the bottom of the steel stairs leading up to the ring apron. Hopping up and down on her toes, Somnia shadow boxes for a moment or two and then lowers her arms to a more defensive stance, where she sharply cocks her head side-to-side to loudly crack her neck. She draws breath through her nose and looks up at the top of the ring post ahead. Nodding to herself, Ana rolls her shoulders back.
She hastens up the stairs with purpose and ventures out about halfway across the apron nearest the ramp. Sneering as she looks out on the crowd one more time, Somnia scrapes the bottoms of her boots against the apron. She rips open her jacket with a hand pulling apart on either side and leans back on the top rope with her arms stretched on either side of her, flexing her chiseled abdomen in this pose. Accomplishing this feat in one fluid motion, Somnia once again bares her mouthguard, running her tongue against the ridges of the inscription.
After smirking proudly for a moment, the Huntress suddenly peels off of the top rope and hastens toward the corner, hopping up and swinging her leg over the top rope and into the ring to sit upon the top turnbuckle as if it were the top of the cage at the end of an MMA fight. She once again bares her mouthpiece to the audience while roaring imperiously and rolling her shoulders while she hoists her imperiously wound fists overhead. She roars like the triumphant ruler of an animal kingdom in the wild after vanquishing a contender to the throne before nodding her head with a self-amused cackle.
Subsequently, Slavic Steel slides back down to her feet inside of the squared circle and jogs in a circle around the interior of the ring for two full laps. Soon, Ana Somnia arrives in her corner, where she backs her way against the turnbuckles. Here, she bounces back-first off of them and takes a step or two forward, where she stretches out, limbers up, and soon champs at the bit to get this fight started. One last time, she sharply cocks her head to either side, cracking her neck loudly enough for the official to hear it a few feet away as the War Whisperer impatiently glares up at her intended victim, awaiting the opening bell. Said referee checks with her opponent before confirming Somnia’s readiness, and once both sides have acknowledged the official, they call for the bell! Patricia Downs: And next… His opponent tonight… Necessary Evil… Ana Somnia!DING DING DING!Match #1: Ana Somnia vs. Lord Raab Our opening contest pits EHWF HALL OF FAMER ANA SOMNIA against a man who will turn 58 years old at midnight, LORD RAAB. With both athletes intending on advancing to the next round of the inaugural Chaos Cup, tensions are understandably high. Those tensions are even more prominent when one considers the past these two share: In their first and only singles match to date, Somnia defeated Raab by pinfall in January of 2021. Additionally, Somnia managed to defeat Raab and his brother (Konrad) in two separate tag team contests, both with gold on the line. Raab, eager to take back a win, employs his substantial size advantage right away.
Only an inch away from a full foot in height advantage, Raab advances to the middle of the ring, where he aggressively (if not haphazardly) lunges forward, reaching out for his diminutive opponent. Somnia, though, knows how to combat a size disadvantage. When Raab’s grip finally reaches her, Somnia slices his nearest leg (his left) with a LEG KICK. Raab, though, ignores the pain and latches onto Somnia’s hair with one hand. He yanks her toward him, earning a second LEG KICK in the process; that said, Raab weighs nearly as much as two Ana Somnias! Once he has Somnia within his personal space, he swings her up over his shoulder in search of a POWERSLAM.
Somnia, though, swings herself back down to her feet and throws a hefty OBLIQUE KICK into Raab’s knee. This serves only to incense the Masked German Monster, who throws a series of BOXING PUNCHES into Somnia’s head and torso. An elite boxer herself, Somnia returns fire and the two exchange blows in the middle of the ring. Raab grows tired of eating strikes and opts to stiff-arm Somnia with his off-hand, keeping her far enough away from him that she couldn’t hit another kick to the leg even if she wanted to!
Somnia twists around and uses her hip to leverage Raab into flipping onto his back, the Body Drop Judo Throw known as TAI OTOSHI! Raab, despite his fervor, is quite large and is nearing 60, so it takes him longer than he’d like to get back to his feet. Before he can make it there, when his head is near Somnia’s level when she’s standing upright, Ana absolutely drills him with a LEFT-HANDED SAMBO CASTING PUNCH. She follows this with a RIGHT-HANDED SAMBO CASTING PUNCH and an immediate RIGHT JAB.
As Raab pushes the rest of the way to a vertical base, Ana continues with an OVERHAND LEFT and a RIGHT UPPERCUT that stagger Raab back into the ropes. Raab growls in disdain before pushing away from the ropes and charging Somnia for a massive LARIAT! But Somnia ducks! Raab turns around into a LEFT HOOK that Somnia follows with a maneuver she doesn’t bust out all too often!
LIVER KICK!
DROBILKA!
Raab can’t control his body’s response and agony shrieks through his entire system. His body shuts down and he drops to the mat clutching at his midsection. Before he can get any defenses up, Somnia is upon him with one of her most potent finishing maneuvers!
MMA STRIKING BLITZ!
SCORCHED EARTH!
Elbows and punches rain down into Raab’s skull, again and again and again and again and again and again and again until the referee has no choice! Raab’s not defending himself! This one’s over!
DING! DING! DING!
Patricia Downs: “Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has called for a stop to this contest. Here is your WINNER by way of TEEEEEE KAAAYYY OOOHHH and advancing to the next round of the CHAOS CUP...”
“AAAANNNNAAAA...”
“...THE UNDISPUTED...”
“SSSOOOMMMNNNIIIAAA!” Ana raises her arm in victory as her music hits! She points out at the EHWF Chaos Cup on the outside and gestures back to herself as the fans are going wild! Lord Raab is down and out as two refs check on him but he’s out cold. The fans go wild as we cut backstage.Where oh where is Griffin Hawkins, but backstage chatting up his wife on his cell phone backstage. Naturally it’s all good things as they talk of course. From behind steps up none other than long time friend and colleague, Melinda Rhodes, all geared up for her match later tonight. She taps him on the shoulder, Griff looking over it at her and nodding, then holding a finger up.
Griff: You got it, beautiful and kiss Sophie goodnight for me alright? Love you too. Bye!
He then swipes his phone and turns to Mel.
Griff: Sorry about that, hey what’s up?
Rebel: Just checkin in on you. You’re goin up against Jacob Latoa tonight and figured you might want some back up in case those Age of the Fall fuckleheads decide they’re gonna’ step up and start some shit again. Me and ol’ Red can be right there, waiting for their punk asses.
It’s then that Mel brings up into frame her famous bright red aluminum baseball bat with the word “Rebel Star” painted on the side. She taps it against her other hand with a smirk.
Griff: Hey I’ve been meaning to talk to you about this…He looks serious for a moment as he looks at her.Griff: I just wanna say that I appreciate you and all your help in the last few weeks, but I can’t help but feel guilty that I got you involved in my affairs. You have a chance here at a fresh start…but you're already a target of these chucklefucks. The last thing I want to do is get you hurt…are you sure you want to continue in this? The Rebel shrugs her shoulders and smirks.
Rebel: Straight up? I’m always itching to put some stupid assholes in their place. Been watching this company for a little while now and seeing the shows. These Age of the Fall pricks have been going after anyone wearing gold or in close contention to it. Sooner or later, I was gonna’ make their hit list, so I don’t see a problem being on it a bit early.
She props her bat on her shoulder.
Rebel: I mean you saw what happened when they met just one person too strong for their asses to take down. You and me? We’re both too damn strong for them and they’re gonna’ figure that out because you know you know you KNOW they’re gonna’ poke their heads in our business, especially with that Jacob dude going up against you. So I’m by your side man, just a holler away.
He nods in agreement.Griff: You’re right. I’ve seen people like them no matter what locker room I go to. A big group of bullies who think that they can do whatever the hell they want just because they got the numbers on their side. They know that they can’t beat you or me straight up..so they rely on gang attacks and intimidation. But that changes tonight.He picks up the title.Griff: See…I’m tired of dealing with these clowns. There are a lot of things I want to do with this title, and it’s time that I end it with them. Truth is…I have heard all the whispers about this particular belt. How many don’t consider this division as THE brand. To them…bashing people with chairs, busting them with baseball bats, setting someone on fire is not true wrestling..just garbage. After I deal with Jacob, I’m going to bring respect back to this belt and defend it against anyone who wants an opportunity.
Mel nods her head and gives him a fist tap on the arm.
Rebel: Damn straight you will. Hardcore is a fuckin cornerstone of wrestling. I know you can take this clown, but the posse is gonna’ make it damn hard. I’ll do my part man. You’d do the same for me, I know that.Griff: Damn right I would. I just know if the rest of the Addams Family decide to show up you’ll have no problem introducing them to Big Red right there..He taps the bat.Griff: But what are you aiming for in this company? I mean..I know you didn’t just join to help clean up my messes.Lowering the bat down, Mel leans forward, both hands resting on the butt of the bat as she uses it like a cane for a moment.
Rebel: I’m here because I think I have something to offer still, because I wanna’ be more than just an old timer hanging around, you feel me? Tonight, I got a huge opportunity for that right before the main event with three others who are just as hungry for their own reasons. Don’t know if I’m really an Olympian, but I’ll wear that belt like I own that word all the same.
A little smirk plays across her lips.Griff: Sounds like you’re here for the same reasons I am. I set out and did everything the doubters and naysayers told me I’d never do..but I feel like I’m not done yet, and I’m sure you feel the same way. I say tonight we both prove that we still got a lot to offer…especially to this company. You in?
Rebel: Fuck yeah.
The two share a fist bump.
Rebel: Let’s do this shit!
And exit stage right… or was it left? Out of frame they go as we cut to what comes next!
We cut to ringside where Patricia Downs is waiting with a mic.
Patricia Downs: This following contest tonight is an Extreme Rules match and it’s for the EHWF Extreme Championship!
"Rise" by Skillet begins to play throughout the arena and once the lyrics of the song hits, the camera focuses on Jacob Letoa as he makes his way out. He claps his hands together and rubs them together, looking towards the camera.
The camera follows Jacob, who is laughing and all fired up, as he makes his way to the ring. Once Jacob reaches the ring, he goes up the steel steps and enters the ring. Jacob goes over to a turnbuckle, climbs to the second rope, and stares out into the crowd. Jacob is all smiles, nodding his head then holds his arms out, doing the hang loose hand signs with both hands. After a few seconds, he hops off the second rope, paces around the ring for a bit then goes to a nearby corner, facing forward, and rubbing his hands together, a slight grin on his face.
Patricia Downs: Introducing… First tonight… He is the challenger… Jacob Letoa!
Fans are awaiting what's to come. Suddenly the sounds of a guitar playing is heard. "Separate Ways" by Journey hits in and from behind the curtain enters Griffin Hawkins! He walks down the ramp in Pink Zebra print tights and a sleeveless mesh shirt. His signature leather jacket and silver aviator shades adorn him as he walks down, high fiving fans as he soaks in the positive reaction. He looks towards the ring and steps up the stairs, looking towards the cheering crowd with a smile.
He steps between the ropes and gets on the turnbuckles, raising the devil horns in the air...pumping up the live crowd. Soon he gets down, taking off his leather jacket before going outside the ring. He takes off his aviators and puts them around a young excited fan, smiling down at him. As he gets back in the ring he paces back and forth, waiting for the match to finally begin.
Patricia Downs: And next… His opponent… He is the EHWF Extreme Champion… The Jukebox Hero… Griffin Hawkins!
DING DING DING
Match #2: Griffin Hawkins (c) vs. Jacob Letoa
The bell rings, and the tension in the air is thick as Griffin Hawkins and Jacob Letoa lock eyes across the ring. The crowd is going WILD! Both men circle each other briefly before charging in, locking up in the center of the ring. Jacob, quickly overpowers Griffin, shoving him hard into the corner, where he drives his shoulder repeatedly into Griffin’s midsection with a lot of force! Griffin gasps as each hit knocks the wind out of him, but he grits his teeth and retaliates, hammering elbows down onto Jacob’s back! Jacob staggers, and Griffin uses the opening to spring off the ropes, connecting with a flying forearm that sends Jacob stumbling backward! Griffin rolls out of the ring and immediately goes under the apron, grabbing a kendo stick! The crowd roars as he slides back in, weapon in hand, while Jacob is recovering in the corner!
Alexander Corvis: And Griffin Hawkins is wasting no time bringing the hardware into this match! This is about to get nasty and we know what Griffin is capable of with a weapon in hand!
Maddie Murdock: Griffin Hawkins and Rebel Rhodes have been the latest targets of The Age of Fall as Jacob and Co switched their attention to them but now they’ve found themselves in this war!
Jacob shakes off the forearm strike just in time to see Griffin charging at him with the kendo stick. He ducks out of the way, and Griffin swings wildly, missing by inches! Jacob then nails a hard knee to Griffin’s gut, forcing him to drop the stick, and follows it up with a brutal headbutt that sends Griffin crashing to the mat! Jacob looks down at the kendo stick and smirks, picking it up and tapping it menacingly against his palm! Griffin, still groggy, tries to get to his feet, but Jacob swings the kendo stick down hard across Griffin’s back! The sound of the impact echoes through the arena as Griffin yells out in pain, arching his back from the hit. Jacob doesn't stop there—he drives the stick into Griffin’s back again, and again, leaving red welts in its wake! The fans go wild as Jacob swats the stick into Griffin’s back again!
Alexander Corvis: Jacob Letoa is laying into Griffin Hawkins with that kendo stick! He’s taking full advantage of these Extreme Rules! Griffin yelling in pain as that stick comes off of his body with high impact!
Maddie Murdock: This is vicious, and this is where Jacob Letoa thrives. He’s methodical, he’s punishing, and right now, he’s making sure Griffin knows it! This is brutal!
Griffin rolls out of the ring, trying to escape the punishment. Jacob follows him out, tossing the kendo stick aside, and grabs Griffin by the hair. He slams Griffin’s face into the barricade, causing the crowd to go NUTS! Griffin is dazed, but he fires back with a desperation punch to Jacob’s gut, and another to his jaw! The fans rally behind Griffin as he grabs Jacob and tosses him into the barricade, reversing the momentum! Griffin stumbles to the announce table, grabbing a steel chair from nearby, and raises it high above his head before slamming it down across Jacob’s back! Jacob drops to his knees in pain, but Griffin isn’t done—he hits him again with the chair, this time across the head, dropping Jacob to the floor! The fans go NUTS! Jacob bleeds from his forehead and Griffin SMACKS him in the head with another chair shot!
Alexander Corvis: Griffin Hawkins turning the tide! He’s taking the fight to Jacob Letoa, and that steel chair just levelled him! Griffin isn’t fucking around, he’s going crazy with that steel chair and now Jacob Letoa is in a pool of blood!
Maddie Murdock: Griffin’s not about to let Jacob walk away from this without feeling the pain. He knows he has to keep the pressure on and after all of these weeks, Griffin wants Jacob and The Age of Fall to really feel it! The title is on the line here tonight!
Griffin throws the chair into the ring and pulls Jacob up by his hair, dragging him toward the steel steps. With a look of fury, Griffin slams Jacob’s head into the steel steps, leaving him dazed on the floor. Griffin pulls a table out from under the ring and sets it up near the apron as the crowd begins to chant for more carnage! Griffin hoists Jacob onto the table, delivering a couple of hard shots to keep him down. He climbs to the top rope, the crowd buzzing in anticipation as Griffin looks down at the prone Jacob, ready to put him through the table with a high-risk move!
Alexander Corvis: Griffin Hawkins going high-risk here! He’s gonna send Jacob Letoa through that table! What the fuck is gonna happen now!?
Maddie Murdock: This could be it for Jacob if Griffin connects! Griffin is going up and Jacob is helpless on that damn table as this is getting REAL extreme tonight! Griffin wants to break Jacob!
Just as Griffin leaps off the top rope, Jacob rolls off the table at the last second, causing Griffin to crash through it alone! The table explodes in a heap of wood and debris as Griffin writhes in agony! Jacob pulls himself up, blood trickling from his forehead, and grabs Griffin by the hair, dragging his broken body back to the ring! Inside the ring, Jacob throws Griffin down and reaches for the steel chair, raising it over his head as Griffin crawls on the mat! Jacob swings the chair, but Griffin somehow dodges it, rolls to his feet, and hits a devastating dropkick to Jacob's head, sending the chair flying! The impact drops Jacob flat on his back! Both men are laid out in the ring, the crowd going wild!
Alexander Corvis: SHIT! Griffin Hawkins just took Jacob’s head off with that dropkick to the head! Both men are down and bleeding! Both men are in PAIN right now!
Maddie Murdock: These two are destroying each other, and they’re far from done! This match could go either way under extreme rules but you gotta remember that the EHWF Extreme Championship is STILL on the line!!
Jacob picks up Griffin and hits him with a right hand then another then another then another then pulls back and DROPS Griffin with a huge right hand to the face! Griffin is busted wide open and Jacob covers him!

Alexander Corvis: SHIT! Griffin Hawkins is getting brutalised with that garbage can! There’s so much blood! How the heck can he retain after all of that!
Maddie Murdock: What a freaking ruthless match! The hatred is evident between these two!!
Jacob tosses the garbage can into the ring then slides in a couple of steel chairs! Jacob grabs Griffin by the hair and rams him back first into the apron! Griffin yells in pain!

Maddie Murdock: What the fuck is Jacob doing!? Barbwire wrapped steel chair! He’s gonna try and end Griffin Hawkin’s career tonight! This is disgusting!!
Jacob goes to smash Griffin on the mat with the barbwire wrapped steel chair but Griffin with a drop toe hold trips Jacob up and Jacob falls face first onto the barbwire chair!

Alexander Corvis: Rebel Rhodes! Brianna Rissi! They even the odds and fight off The Age of Fall! But it’s too late! They’re all gone and Jacob Letoa just smashes the title belt into Griffin’s skull and damn near knocked him out that no good son of a bitch!
Maddie Murdock: Brianna and Rebel came out and made the save but it’s too late! Jacob saw the opportunity and took it and now Griffin is down and Jacob is still not done with him!
Jacob digs the boots in while Griffin is down and then rolls him back into the ring! Jacob gets back in and starts beating Griffin on the mat with big right hands! Griffin shoves him off!

Both men are covered in blood and can’t keep going on like this! Jacob sends Griffin to the mat with a big elbow to the mouth! Both men take a few moments to recover! Jacob goes for his Letoa Kick (superkick) Griffin ducks it and goes for Shot In The Dark (superkick) but Jacob ducks that and then pulls Griffin and and PLANTS him with the Letoa Slam (sideslam) right onto the garbage can! Griffin’s back CRACKS off of the steel and the fans shrill at the sight!

Patricia Downs: Here is your winner… And STILL… the EHWF Extreme Champion… The Jukebox Hero… Griffin Hawkins!
Alexander Corvis: He DID IT! Griffin Hawkins with ANOTHER huge defence! He did it! What a match! What a fight! How did he pull that off! Both of these men have completely destroyed each other tonight!
Maddie Murdock: But Griffin was the one who came out on top against all odds and just wouldn’t go down! What fight that was!!
Griffin Hawkins, drenched in sweat and blood, slowly pushes himself up from the mat. His body trembles from exhaustion, and blood drips down his face as he holds onto the EHWF Extreme Championship. The fans cheer wildly for the battered champion, who, despite his wounds, raises the title above his head while leaning against the ropes for support. The crowd's appreciation fills the arena as Griffin can barely stand, his chest heaving with every breath as he collapses again with the ref checking on him!
Alexander Corvis: Griffin Hawkins… He's barely standing, but he’s still holding that Extreme Championship high! What a warrior! He gave it everything tonight!
Maddie Murdock: Look at him! He’s hurt, bleeding, barely on his feet… He can’t stand! I don’t think he knows where he is…
Suddenly, the sound of music blasting through the arena shocks the fans! Amanda Fien’s music hits, and the arena erupts into a mix of boos and gasps as she rushes out from the back with her Feast or Fired Briefcase clutched in her hands. The crowd watches in disbelief as Amanda storms down the ramp, dragging a second referee with her!
Alexander Corvis: No way! Amanda Fien?! She’s here with the Feast or Fired briefcase! She’s cashing in on Griffin Hawkins! What the fuck is going on! She’s been targeting Isabella Thorn and the EHWF Hardcore Championship for months and now she’s here all the way from freaking Mayhem! She’s gonna do it!
Maddie Murdock: Griffin is hurt, he can barely stand! Is Amanda really going to capitalise on this moment? Has she swerved us all with the EHWF Hardcore/Extreme Feast of Fired Briefcase she won at Final Destination!
Amanda slides into the ring with a sinister smirk on her face as she eyes the battered Griffin Hawkins. She doesn’t waste any time—Amanda rushes forward and SMASHES the briefcase over Griffin’s already bloodied head! The impact sends Griffin crumbling to the mat, his body lifeless as the crowd erupts in a chorus of boos! Amanda hands the briefcase to the ref, signalling her cash-in! The BOOS get louder as the ref berates her and Amanda shoves the case into his chest and screams at him!
Alexander Corvis: She’s done it! She’s cashing in! This is happening right now! What the fuck is going on right now! She’s supposed to cash in on Isabella tomorrow night at Sudden Death!? What the fuck? Is this real life!?
Maddie Murdock: But look at Griffin! He’s not even conscious! This can’t be how it ends! He just went though one of the most brutal Extreme Rules matches we’ve ever seen and now Amanda is slithering in to take advantage! Was this her plan all along!?
The referee hesitates, refusing to start the match as Griffin lies motionless on the mat. Amanda, furious, screams at the official, demanding he start the match, but the ref won’t budge until Griffin can get to his feet! Amanda turns her attention to the barely conscious champion, yelling at him to get up. Griffin, bloodied and dazed, starts to stir in the corner, his hands gripping the ropes as he struggles to pull himself up. He looks up wide eyed and smirks as he yells something back to Amanda Fien! With every ounce of energy he has left, Griffin Hawkins manages to stand, barely upright as he leans against the turnbuckle for support! His eyes lock with Amanda’s, both of them breathing heavily as the tension builds. The referee finally calls for the bell to ring, and Amanda doesn’t waste a second! She charges at Griffin, immediately unloading with vicious stomps to his midsection, beating him down further into the corner!
Patricia Downs: Amanda Fien is cashing in her Feast or Fired Hardcore/Extreme Briefcase! This following contest is an Extreme Rules match set for one fall and it’s for the EHWF Extreme Championship!

Maddie Murdock: Griffin can’t even defend himself! He’s barely able to stand, and now Amanda is just stomping him out in that corner!

Patricia Downs: Here is your winner… And NEW… EHWF Extreme Champion… Amanda Fien!
Alexander Corvis: Son of a bitch! No fucking way! Why!?! Why!? Amanda Fien has successfully cashed in on Griffin Hawkins and now she’s the new EHWF Extreme Champion! What the fuck! She came all the way from Mayhem after targeting Isabella Thorn and the EHWF Hardcore Championship for months only to do this!?
Maddie Murdock: Griffin Hawkins went through a brutal Extreme Rules match. Got put through a table, beat up, hit with chairs, kendo stick, trash cans, you name it! He even got ambushed by The Age of Fall in this match and lost a lot of blood and he STILL fought Amanda Fien off but in the end it was too much!
Amanda rolls out of the ring as the fans boo her and throw garbage at her! Amanda’s music plays as she smirks and runs up the ramp with the EHWF Extreme Championship! The ref and an EMT check on the bleeding and battered Griffin Hawkins on the mat!
Alexander Corvis: Griffin Hawkins, straight after a big title defence has lost the EHWF Extreme Championship to Amanda Fien after a Feast or Fired cash in! !
Maddie Murdock: Griffin Hawkins won the title against Sujir Thorn in a Barbwire Steel Cage match. He defended it in a brutal Inferno Tables match against Lord Raab, Sujir Thorn and Brian Phillips. He defended it again tonight against Jacob Letoa in an Extreme Rules match! Then after all of the bullshit tonight and after the brutal fight he just had, he has no time to recover as Amanda Fien swerves us all and cashes in successfully on Griffin Hawkins to win her FIRST title here in EHWF!
Griffin looks up, seething with rage as he lies on the mat and shoves the EMT away from him. He’s dripping with blood and lies back flat on his back, pissed off and disappointed as Amanda slings the EHWF Extreme Championship belt up around her hand and arm and holds it up to a flurry of boos as we fade out.
Rebel: The Extreme Hardcore Wrestling Federation… That name has called to me for years, but I never pulled the trigger on joining. Much of it had to do with a little insecurity on my part, not gonna lie. I turned forty four on the sixth of October and got alotta hard worn mileage on this body.
She turns to face the camera with a soft sigh, shaking her head a bit.
Rebel: What happened when I got here though? It just made me regret not doing this sooner. This locker room is stacked with so much incredible talent and I’m all like, “Why the hell didn’t I join this place like, ten years ago, when I was at my physical peak?” Yet I look back on who I was then and realized that maybe my peak wasn’t then, when I was the same age as many of my opponents in the Olympian Championship tonight.
Melinda hooks her thumbs on the two front belt loops of her jeans.
Rebel: Maybe my peak is now? When I was Remi Skyefire’s age, I wasn’t bench pressing almost three times my bodyweight. My punches were no joke and much like Athena Veronica and Remi’s feet, I could knock a motherfucker out pretty easily, but these days? I hit like a goddamn freight train and yet I’m still light on my feet, able to keep up with the likes of Joanna Penkzee-Nelson just fine.
Her head tilts slightly as she looks slightly upwards, thinking about the past a bit, then returns back to the camera lens.
Rebel: Been wrestling all over this floating rock in space since I was teenager, taking on anyone and everyone that ever got put in front of me and while I didn’t win every fight, I won enough to make a name for myself, earn some marks and gold, but not here in the land of Extreme. Tonight, that could very well change.
A sly smirk creases those black lips as she raises her eyebrows momentarily, gaze slightly narrowed and then relaxing.
Rebel: I haven’t been in EHWF too long, only throwing hands with those Age of the Fall fuckers with Griff Hawkins, but clearly somebody upstairs likes me because I’m thrown into the ring with those very same wrestlers. Funny thing is, I see a little of myself in each one of ‘em. Remi reminds me of how I looked during my long black hair days. She’s hard hitting, deceptively smart, and lethal with all out blitzes when the going gets tough.
Mel taps a finger to her temple with an approving nod.
Rebel: Joanna’s got that freak energy that just won’t quit and will bounce and flip offa damn near anything. Watching her matches made me think of all the high dives I’d do. Don’t ever get me in an Arena with a balcony, like the Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall or the good old Hammerstein Ballroom because I will find a way to fly off that shit and nail some poor bastard with this old body of mine with style.
She brings her hands up, raising one high up and then whistling as she makes a fist and then makes it “dive” and collide with her open palm with a loud smack for dramatic effect, symbolizing one such dive.
Rebel: Then there’s Athena, who’s a hybridized warrior who’d just as soon kick your head off as she would lock you into an Omoplata crossface. She wasn’t too proud to take lessons from those who came before her, learning from more than a couple of legends. You can see it reflected in her style, the likes of Graham Baker, Kai Stevens, and her current mentor, the always dangerous Ana Somnia. I’m the same. Young or old, if you got something to teach me, I’ll suck that shit up like a sponge and put my own spin on it.
These three ladies got youth, drive, and passion to be in the ring with me, fighting over the Olympian title. Some might question if I’m worthy of sharing the ring with ‘em, but I don’t write the book, I just show up and win hard or damn near die tryin. That’s what it’s all about.
The Rebel taps her fist to her chest.
Rebel: Whether you say I earned it or not, I’mma take this shit and run like a motherfucker with it, because in the end, when it comes to championship gold, how you got there isn’t as important as what you do with that sumbitch when you wear it. If I walk outta this thing with the gold, ya’ll will find out, but the trick is making it happen.
There’s a little chuckle that rattles forth.
Rebel: Athena, Jo, and Remi are all very capable. It’s gonna’ come down to who’s the hungriest, baddest bitch to walk into EHWF and that bitch is me. It’s been awhile since I held me some gold and I’mma go out there and do what I do best, raise hell, kick all the ass I can, and raise that Olympian Championship up in the air while that Albuquerque crowd loses their fuckin minds and why? Because that’s what I do!
She stares into the camera, eyes burning with intensity as her mood shifts to all business mode.
Rebel: That’s been my game for twenty four years and while the plan may never be the same, the outcome almost always is. Shock, awe, command, and conquer baby, and while they’ll be laid out tryin to figure out what the fuck happened, my music will be playing and I’ll be walking the Rebel Path, making a name for myself in the house of Extreme, E.H.W.F.
Winking at the camera, she then lifts both arms and points fingers at the camera like guns, thumbs cocked back like hammers, only to snap them back, her hands recoiling like guns as she says an iconic line…
Rebel: Bang Bang... Ya been shot through tha heart, baby…
Mel then lifts her fingers to her lips, blowing on the tips as if to blow smoke off of them. With a dangerous spreading across her face, we fade to black and cut to ringside.
We cut to ringside where Patricia Downs is waiting with a mic.
Patricia Downs: This following contest is the opening round of the Chaos Cup Tournament and it’s set for one fall!
Sika Zih’s music hits and he gets a mixed reaction as he comes out and makes his way down the ramp. He smacks the steel steps and jumps up on the apron and gets in the ring. He raises his arms and waits for his opponent to come out.
Patricia Downs: Introducing… First tonight… Sika Zih!
The lights go out. 'Bad' by Royal Deluxe begins to play. A single spotlight shines over the entrance. Inside the spotlight Isis has her back turned to the camera. She turns around. Flexes. Holds her pose for a couple of seconds. Then she saunters down to the ring with the spotlights following her. Upon reaching the ring she walks up the ring steps, walks across the apron. She signals for the referee to come over to open the ropes. The ref obliges. She walks to the center of the ring, awaiting her are three full length mirrors. The lights in the arena come alive. Isis turns around to look at herself in the mirror. She flexes to her hearts content admiring what a physical specimen she is. She turns around, drops to the mat, performs push ups in a manner where she is simply showing off. Isis walks over to the turnbuckle, she leans back as she watches people remove the mirrors from the ring. She remains there until the match starts.
Patricia Downs: And next… His opponent tonight… The God of Destruction… ISIS!
DING DING DING
Match #3: ISIS vs. Sika Zih
Sika Zih and ISIS circle each other in the ring, the intensity of the crowd growing with every step. Sika Zih, wild-eyed and erratic, throws a quick jab at ISIS! ISIS, unfazed, shows her impressive speed as she dodges the hit with a sidestep. Zih comes at her harder with a wild flurry of strikes, but ISIS absorbs the blows before driving her knee into Zih’s midsection, stopping his momentum cold! Zih falls back and ISIS pulls him into another knee before shoving him away from her!
Alexander Corvis: Sika Zih’s erratic and unpredictable, but ISIS isn’t having any of his shit here tonight as the Chaos Cup hopes are on the line tonight!!
Maddie Murdock: That’s the power and precision ISIS brings to every match. Zih’s brawling is dangerous, but ISIS is controlling this fight already!
Zih stumbles back, clutching his gut, but he quickly shakes it off and lunges at ISIS with a clothesline. ISIS ducks under and counters with a massive shoulder block, sending Sika crashing to the mat. Zih rolls out of the ring to regain his composure, pacing frantically outside, slamming his fists on the apron. He rushes back in and tries to catch ISIS off guard with a series of low kicks, targeting her legs. One of the kicks connects, and Zih follows up with a spinning back elbow that rocks ISIS, staggering her back into the corner! ISIS wasn’t expecting it! She swings at Zih but he ducks it and hammers her with a right then another then another then pulls back and hits her with a diving punch to the head!
Alexander Corvis: That’s Sika Zih’s combat expertise! He found his target with those low kicks and now has ISIS rocked with those hard punches!
Maddie Murdock: Zih is trying to chop the powerful ISIS down! He knows he’s gotta be weary of her awesome power and speed that has seen her dominate Chaos for a while now, Alex!
Zih charges in for a corner splash, but ISIS bursts out of the corner with a powerful boot to his face! The impact sends Zih stumbling back, clutching his jaw as the fans explode! ISIS moves in, grabbing Zih by the arm and whipping him across the ring into the opposite corner. She runs full speed, crushing him with a devastating running splash! Zih is flattened, but before he can collapse, ISIS grabs him by the throat and effortlessly lifts him off the ground!
Alexander Corvis: The strength of ISIS on full display! She just hoisted Sika Zih up like he’s nothing!
Maddie Murdock: This is the turning point! ISIS is about to take full control! She’s holding him up right now!
ISIS slams Zih down with a monstrous chokeslam, shaking the ring with the force of it! Zih rolls around in pain, his erratic movements slowing as the match begins to tilt in ISIS's favor. ISIS stalks him, waiting for him to get up. When Zih reaches his feet, she charges forward and levels him with a devastating SPEAR! The crowd erupts as Zih clutches his ribs in agony, gasping for air! ISIS gets up and flexes and shows off as the fans go NUTS!
Alexander Corvis: That spear could have broken Sika Zih in half! ISIS is starting to dominate! She wants the Chaos Cup so bad that she even vacated the EHWF World Tag Team Championships to get in this tournament!
Maddie Murdock: This is what we expected! Sika Zih fought hard, but now ISIS is in control, and she’s not letting up!
ISIS grabs Zih by his hair, pulling him to his feet. She hoists him up onto her shoulders, displaying her incredible power before slamming him down with a running powerslam! The crowd roars as ISIS stands tall over her fallen opponent! Zih writhes in pain beneath her. ISIS backs off into the ropes and drops a big leg drop across his chest as the fans go WILD! Zih who started off well appears to be losing ground quickly now!
Alexander Corvis: ISIS is showing why she’s a force to be reckoned with in this tournament! She’s taking Zih apart piece by piece!
Maddie Murdock: Zih’s going to need a miracle to get out of this! ISIS is simply too strong!
With Sika Zih struggling to even get to his knees, ISIS paces around him, her eyes focused as the fans begin to sense the end might be near. ISIS is ready to put him away, singling for her next move. ISIS grabs Zih by the arm and effortlessly yanks him to his feet, showcasing her power once again. She hoists him up into a fireman’s carry position and slams him to the mat with a devastating Samoan Drop! Zih’s body crashes hard into the canvas as the fans cheer wildly for ISIS’s dominance. She rises, and stares down at Zih, who is writhing in pain!
Alexander Corvis: Zih is in deep trouble now. ISIS is completely dominating this match! She’s using her raw power to dismantle him piece by piece! She’s sending a message here tonight!
Maddie Murdock: Zih came into this match with a solid strategy, but it’s falling apart! ISIS is proving why she’s a favourite in this tournament! She’s on a completely different level tonight!
ISIS lifts Zih again, this time positioning him for a suplex. With impressive ease, she hoists the much larger Zih high into the air, holding him there for a moment as the crowd marvels at her strength. She then brings him crashing down with a perfect vertical suplex, sending another shockwave through the ring! Zih groans in pain, clutching his back! The fans are going NUTS as ISIS cuts Zih down completely tonight!
Alexander Corvis: What strength! ISIS holding Sika Zih in the air like that... that was a statement! She’s proving RIGHT NOW why she’s a former EHWF Global Champion!
Maddie Murdock: She’s wearing him down! Zih’s got heart, but this is starting to look one-sided! The Chaos Cup is out there and ISIS wants it badly! She’s sending a MESSAGE to everyone else in the Chaos Cup tournament in this opening round right now!
ISIS points at the camera and smirks… ISIS doesn’t give Zih any time to recover. She rolls to her feet and drags him up by his hair, throwing him into the corner with a powerful Irish whip! Zih’s back hits the turnbuckles with force, and ISIS charges at him with a full head of steam, delivering a brutal running knee to his gut! Zih gasps for air as the wind is knocked out of him, doubling over in the corner. ISIS doesn’t stop there—she grabs him by the waist and lifts him onto the top turnbuckle.
Alexander Corvis: She’s going for something big! ISIS isn’t just dominating, she’s trying to end this match in spectacular fashion!
Maddie Murdock: Zih’s in a bad spot here! Whatever ISIS has planned, it’s not gonna end well for him!
ISIS climbs up to the second rope, hooking Zih’s arm over her shoulder and setting up for a superplex. Zih, sensing the danger, frantically fights back, throwing wild punches at ISIS’s midsection! The blows barely affect her as she powers through, lifting him even higher, preparing to send him crashing down. But Zih, in a last-ditch effort, manages to headbutt her! ISIS staggers slightly, and Zih shoves her off the ropes! MASSIVE impact down below! The fans go NUTS! Zih is hurt and exhausted but in a rage on the ropes!
Alexander Corvis: Zih fighting back! He’s hanging on by a thread, but he’s not going down easily! This guy is still a freaking bull inside the ring, Maddie!
Maddie Murdock: This is the opening he needs! He’s gotta capitalise if he wants to have any chance of turning this around tonight!!
ISIS crashes down to the mat, but she quickly recovers, glaring back up at Zih as he teeters on the top rope. Before Zih can capitalise, ISIS springs to her feet with amazing agility for her size and charges at him! She grabs him off the top rope and brings him down with a massive powerslam that shakes the entire ring!
Alexander Corvis: Just when Zih thought he had an opening, ISIS shuts him down again! What a brutal powerslam!
Maddie Murdock: She’s back in control, and Zih is in real trouble now! ISIS is not letting up!
ISIS gets to her feet, flexing her muscles as she glares down at the barely moving Sika Zih! The fans are on their feet! She drags Zih to the center of the ring, looking down at her fallen opponent with a smirk of confidence. ISIS runs at Zih as he gets up but he leapfrogs her and hits her with a spinning back elbow! The fans LOSE IT! Zih bounces off of the ropes and goes for a running move but ISIS ducks it and runs up and hits Zih with a running pump kick! Zih takes the impact right to the head! He’s down and the fans go WILD! Zih gets up and sways left to right as he bleeds from his nose and mouth! ISIS pops him up with one hand and PLANTS him with Welcome To Dystopia (one-armed powerbomb) right in the centre of the ring as she covers him and flexes her right arm into the camera!

Patricia Downs: Here is your winner… The God of Destruction… ISIS!
Alexander Corvis: It’s over! Huge win for ISIS here tonight as she advances in the Chaos Cup tournament! What a huge and dominant win here tonight!
Maddie Murdock: ISIS just sent a damn message to everyone in this tournament and everyone on Chaos that she’s coming for the Chaos Cup and she’s coming for the top once again here on Chaos!
ISIS smacks the mat and raises her arms as the fans go wild and the music hits! The fans are going NUTS as ISIS flexes and points out to the Chaos Cup on the outside! The fans continue to cheer before the music switches to Ana Somnia’s theme and the crowd ERUPTS!
Alexander Corvis: Ana Somnia and ISIS may very well meet for the EHWF Chaos Cup but they both still have a little bit to go before a possible encounter!!
Maddie Murdock: ISIS with a huge win tonight! Ana Somnia with a massive win! Both are hungry for the EHWF Chaos Cup!
ISIS looks out at Ana Somnia on the stage. Ana Somnia looks disappointed as ISIS tosses a hurt Sika Zih out of the ring then gestures to Ana who is standing on the stage. Ana’s expression turns to a smirk as she looks up at ISIS. ISIS stares directly at Ana, flexing her arms as the fans go NUTS before we fade out.
Casey Holliday has a smirk on her face as the camera cuts on her. The fans are vehemently booing her as she holds the title over her shoulder. She thinks about how things have been in EHWF so far and she’s definitely confident that things are going to continue as they are. Casey isn’t going to pull any punches as she begins to speak.
Casey Holliday: I have done nothing but dominate since coming to EHWF. I haven’t lost yet. I have changed the game on Chaos in a way that nobody ever has before. I have dominated in ways that make the former domination of ISIS look like child’s play. When I won the Meltdown Chamber, my reign became legitimized and there’s no way in hell anyone is ever going to take that from me. Kate… you’re an annoying piece of shit. I am not going to waste my camera time talking about your other endeavors the way you tried to bring up other stuff when we had our face to face. I don’t understand why there had to be a ‘loser leaves town’ stipulation with this defense. I know you and I have had some heated encounters in recent times but come the fuck on.
Casey pauses and rolls her eyes.
Casey Holliday: But all this stipulation does is put pressure on YOU because YOU were the one that made the poor choice of cashing in your Showtime title. I don’t blame you for the concept. That’s what I did to have this very world championship that I hold today. But you picked the worst time to do it. Why would you cash in on me knowing that nobody has ever beaten me? Why would you waste your championship against someone that has done nothing but dominate ever since she got here? It was a very unwise, stupid move on your part. You should’ve waited for someone like Madde Murdock to pull a fluke out of her ass against me.
You cashed in well before you were ready to be considered a main eventer in this company. Not saying that you can’t be, but you’re not necessarily someone that I should be fearful of. I mean, look at who the fuck I beat in the Meltdown Chamber and tell me that you actually stand a chance against me. I’m about to make you pay for the poorest choice that anyone in this company could ever make. You’re about to throw away your career and your pride and your dreams for what?
Because you wanted to take a home run shot at me when I’ve already overcame better wrestlers and stronger contenders than you?
Casey rolls her eyes again, but this time she does so in a more playful and amused manner.
Casey Holliday: Here’s what would happen if you were to somehow win the championship. Chaos would go back to the same old cesspool that it was before I got here. We’d be going back to the same ass shit like Brianna and Naomi. We’d be going back to the status quo. Now sure, you’re new and you’re DIFFERENT from the status quo that I just mentioned, but you’re nowhere near as good enough or strong enough to keep the old guard that won’t fuck off and go away from coming back and ruling the roost. I’m the reason why this brand even overtook Mayhem to begin with. This brand without me would regress horribly back to being the lesser brand and it wouldn’t be my fault, it would be yours. It’s a shame that you had to be selfish and you couldn’t think of that before you made such a short sighted choice. But I’M the narcissist? Yeah, whatever. The fact of the matter is Kate, you’re no better than the idiot that I used to be: the idiot that had big dreams and would always fracture at the first sight of adversity that allowed an entire company to take advantage of her and relegate her to a pre-show status three years ago. If the Casey of today faced that woman from four years ago, it would be a squash. I mean, I’m not saying this match is going to be a squash, but you’re living on blind hope. You’re too blind to your own ego to see exactly where this is going to lead for you.
So when you’re out in the cold with no EHWF contract, you should blame nobody else but yourself. In all honesty, beating you tonight would be doing you a favor and you’d be seeing reality for the first fucking time in your career.
But one way or another, this company is NEVER getting rid of me!
Haters. Gonna. HATE!
Casey walks off among a chorus of boos and the scene fades out.
We cut to ringside where Patricia Downs is waiting with a mic.
Patricia Downs: This following contest is an Olympian Match and it’s for the Inaugural EHWF Olympian Championship! The rules are simple… The competitor with the most Pinfalls, Submissions and Knockouts at the end of the allotted 15 minutes will be the winner! There are NO count-outs! Disqualifications subtract from the competitors overall score in this contest! In case of a tie, extra time will be awarded to the tied competitors to achieve one final fall or submission!
Butterflies by GAYLE kicks in as the fans are cheering Joanna Penkzee-Nelson as the fans are cheering for her. Out comes Joanna as she comes out of the back. She waves at some of the fans that are cheering for her and gives them fist bumps before rolling into the ring and warming up.
Patricia Downs: Introducing… First tonight… Joanna Penkzee-Nelson!
#SHOT THROUGH THA HEART!!!!
#AND YOU’RE TO BLAME!
#DARLIN YOU GIVE LOVE… A BAD NAME..
The lights drop to a dim blue only to brighten to a bright red as the Baltic House Orchestra version of "You Give Love a Bad Name" plays over the P/A speakers. With a pyro explosion, the Rebel bounds from the curtains and onto that stage with a wicked grin. She sports her ring gear: a red leather vest with her winged star logo, aviator shades, and fingerless gloves. Twirling a bright red aluminum baseball bat in her hand, Mel strides down the aisle, taking her time and rocking with the fans in attendance. She's high-fiving fans, giving hugs to kids, and one lucky fan's child ends up with a parting gift, her chrome aviator shades getting placed right on the kid's face.
After making the rounds at ringside, pumping up the front row fans, Rhodes slides under the ropes, pops up and runs up to the far turnbuckle, throwing a three fingered salute while headbanging to her music. She then turns and runs to and up the opposite turnbuckle, arms out at her sides as she shouts "HEEELLLL YYYEEAAAHHH!!!" to the fans, working them up just a little bit more. She then hops down, pulls the vest off and tosses it aside, crouching low in her corner waiting…
Patricia Downs: And next… The Rebel Star… Rebel Rhodes!
The lights flicker and eventually cut out entirely.
And then the strings come in...
PUT ON YOUR
WARPAINT!
As “The Phoenix” by Fall Out Boy continues and builds, the crowd rise to their feet to offer a raucous but admittedly mixed vocal response. Soon enough, the chorus to the song arrives and an assembly of vibrant lights rotate and orient toward the stage, onto which ATHENA VERONICA finally struts with confidence. The Bird of Prey looks out upon the capacity crowd for a moment, taking it all in with ever-so-slightly narrowed eyes that survey the crowd. She soon wears a smug smirk and leans her head to one side to crack her neck.
Athena sports a pair of phthalo green pads attached to boots which are also phthalo green everywhere save for the tread of the boot itself, which is black, and the laces, which are black. This color scheme continues to her hipsters, with chains and studs aplenty. On her torso, Goddess Athena wears a phthalo green grecian wrestling top with chains and studs adorning it as trim and accenting as well. Additionally, Athena dons a black coat with silver studs lining the lapels, as well as coral lip gloss, which pops even more under her beeline honey hair.
She struts over to the top of the entrance ramp, where she garners a deafening, albeit mixed response from the seemingly endless throngs of fans in attendance tonight by swaying her hips before striking a pose, Patrick Stump singing of raising a phoenix. When the chorus repeats this line, Athena offers a fairly theatrical bow, setting off an array of pyrotechnics to another mixed response from the audience. She returns to a vertical base and smirks with her hand raised beside her head, fingers curled into the shape of talons.
The second verse to the song begins as Athena makes her way down the entrance ramp with her focus on Opponent Name Here in the ring ahead. Her determination is evident on her otherwise sultry visage. Her razor-sharp focus on the woman ahead inside the squared circle only deepens as she approaches ringside. The second pre-chorus arrives and Athena finally steps off of the ramp and enters ringside, where she places her hands on her hips and raises an eyebrow at her opponent. After inching forward, she stops in place at the foot of the apron to take a deep breath. With a suddenly confident smile, she reaches up and grabs the middle rope to assist in pulling herself up onto one knee on the apron.
The second chorus arrives and Veronica swings her other leg up, placing the sole of that boot on the apron as well before slowly turning her frame outward toward the fans, taking her eyes off of her opposition for the first time. She leans back against the ropes until she can thread her arms backward over the top rope and lean her head backward with a smirk and closed eyes, savoring the chorus of mixed vocal support and contempt. From here, Athena unhooks her left arm and twists her way into the ring over the middle rope. Once inside, she leans over the top rope and jaws with the fans who were booing her. After this, she turns and meets her opponent’s gaze, grinning at her.
PUT ON YOUR
WARPAINT!
Athena throws her hand into the sky with each word from Stump, the crowd singing along despite their less than favorable sentiments toward her right now. She then uses the descent of her hand to swing around to face the hard camera, to which she offers yet another theatrical bow. When the fourth iteration of the line concludes, however, her music fades out. She removes her jacket and cocks her head to the opposite side as she had earlier, cracking this side, too. She then hops back and forth on her toes and nods her head, shaking her hands out once each. She tucks some of her hair behind her ear and digs her heels in to assume a prepared stance, from which she nods to the official to confirm her readiness for the bell.
Patricia Downs: And up next… The Firebird… Athena Veronica!
You Can't Kill My Rock n Roll kicks in and Remi's arrival to the stage comes in a casual strut even if her head is bopping to the beat of her theme. She takes a moment to drink in the arena's scene while the music courses through her body. Soon enough, she can't help herself and she's jamming out all over the stage. She's tossing horns up and randomly air guitaring down the ramp and toward the ring, even stopping for the occasional fan's invisible microphone to sing out with her theme.
At the ring, Remi hops up onto the apron and turns around to throw her hands up to the crowd. She ducks inside and climbs up each of the top turnbuckles, throwing up rocker horns and screaming the lyrics out at the crowd. Once done, she backs herself into one of the corners, leans back, pulls her mouthguard from the strap of her top and pops it into her mouth with a thotty wink into the nearest camera.
Patricia Downs: And Finally… Blackheart… Remi Skyfire!
DING DING DING
Match #4: Remi Skyfire vs. Rebel Rhodes vs. Athena Veronica vs. Joanna Penkzee-Nelson

Maddie Murdock: Each competitor brings something different, and it’s going to be about who can find their rhythm first. Rebel has the technical edge, while Remi’s got that unrelenting power and aggression! Athena is pure skill while Joanna is the most hungry and determined rookie in the company right now!
Across the ring, Athena seizes the upper hand, whipping Joanna into the ropes. She charges after her and slams her down with a vicious clothesline!

Alexander Corvis: Athena’s showing resilience, but she’s taking some serious damage from Joanna who came outta nowhere there!
Maddie Murdock: This match is just unrelenting; no one is letting up for even a second and we still don’t even have one fall or submission called yet!
Remi Skyfire, now recovered, takes advantage of the chaos. She darts over to Joanna and drills her with a hard-hitting bicycle kick that sends Joanna sprawling out of the ring! Remi then shifts her attention to Athena, hoisting her up for a backbreaker, but Athena wriggles free, landing behind Remi and locking her into a sleeper hold! Remi struggles, clawing at Athena’s arms, but Athena holds firm, wrenching the hold tighter as Remi’s movements start to slow. Just as it seems Remi might go down, Rebel sneaks in, hitting both of them with a running crossbody that breaks the hold and sends all three women tumbling to the mat! The fans absolutely go NUTS!
Alexander Corvis: What a collision! Rebel just saved Remi there, whether she meant to or not! That was huge! These women are in an absolute demolition derby right now!

Alexander Corvis: Rebel gets the first fall of this match and she’s in the lead! This could be telling for the rest of the match!
Maddie Murdock: WAIT! WATCH OUT!
Just as the match inside the ring heats up, the crowd's attention shifts as Age of Fall members Dan Anderson, Roxanne with her signature black baseball bat, Jay Reynolds, and Misty Vega slip around the ring, targeting Rebel Rhodes, who’s leaning against the ropes for a breather. In a swift, brutal ambush, they yank Rebel out under the ropes and onto the unforgiving floor. The assault begins as Roxanne swings the bat, aiming for Rebel's ribs, while Misty and Jay land heavy kicks to keep her down.
Alexander Corvis: What the hell?! The Age of Fall is attacking Rebel outside! This is a blatant ambush! And look at Roxanne—she’s got that baseball bat! Griffin Hawkins already beat Jacob Letoa tonight! The Age of Fall just fuck up everything they touch!
Maddie Murdock: They’re tearing her apart out there! Rebel might be a fighter, but even she can’t stand up to this kind of assault alone! They’re swarming her! It’s 4 on 1 and this Olympian Match is STILL going on!
Despite the numbers against her, Rebel fights back with every ounce of her strength. She delivers a swift elbow to Dan’s gut, then spins around to catch Misty with a backhanded punch! Rebel ducks a swing from Roxanne's bat, landing a desperate dropkick that sends Jay staggering backward. The fans are on their feet as Rebel nearly escapes their grip, but Jay tackles her back down to the floor! The four members of Age of Fall regroup, surrounding her like vultures as she struggles to push herself up! The fans boo but the match is still going on in the ring! Dan Anderson sneers as he grabs Rebel by the hair, pulling her up and positioning her near the metal ramp. With a twisted grin, he steps back, then charges forward, smashing her head down with a brutal curb stomp right into the ramp! The sickening impact echoes through the arena as Rebel collapses, clutching her face as blood trickles down her forehead.
Alexander Corvis: My God! Curb stomp onto the ramp! Rebel is bleeding! This is going way too far! They’re costing Rebel a fucking Championship tonight!
Maddie Murdock: They’re trying to send a message, and it’s clear they want to take Rebel out of the picture entirely! They’re sore losers! Their war against Rebel and Griffin seems to have taken on it’s own form here tonight!
Dan calls to Jay and Misty, who haul Rebel to her feet, positioning her over a set of steel steps brought over by Roxanne. Rebel barely stands, her legs wobbling, but Age of Fall holds her in place as Dan readies himself for another crushing stomp, this time with the steps beneath her Suddenly, the crowd erupts in cheers as Brianna Rissi sprints down the ramp, charging toward Age of Fall! Without hesitation, she barrels into Dan Anderson, sending him sprawling backward. Brianna lays into Jay with a hard right hook, then grabs Roxanne’s bat from her hands and swings it wildly, forcing Misty and Roxanne to retreat as she stands guard over Rebel. Jay stumbles back, holding his jaw, while Dan scowls at the sudden backup, gesturing for his team to fall back.
Alexander Corvis: Brianna Rissi! Brianna’s here, and she’s laying waste to Age of Fall, keeping them from finishing their attack on Rebel! With Griffin Hawkins out of action for the rest of the night, Rebel still has backup!
Maddie Murdock: Thank goodness for Brianna—Rebel was gonna get stomped out again there but the damage may already be done and Rebel is out of this match! The Age of Fall just cost her big time!
Age of Fall quickly withdraws as referees and EMTs rush down to check on Rebel, who’s bloodied and dazed. Brianna, still gripping the bat, watches Age of Fall disappear up the ramp, her glare fierce as she ensures they’re gone. She crouches down to help Rebel to her feet, assisting the wounded Rebel as they make their way backstage with the support of the officials. Rebel, Brianna, an EMT and a ref disappear backstage as the fans boo!!
Alexander Corvis: Those pieces of shit! They took Rebel out! Now is this a 3 person match?!
Maddie Murdock: Rebel might be out of action in this one but she still has the only fall so she could STILL technically win even though she’s unable to compete now!!
Back in the ring, Athena Veronica grabs Remi Skyfire, whipping her into the corner with a hard thud! Wasting no time, Athena charges in with a running knee, catching Remi square in the jaw! Remi staggers forward, dazed, and Athena swiftly rolls her up, hooking both legs tight!

KICK OUT!
Remi powers out just in time, but Athena stays on her, yanking her up by the arm and snapping her down with a textbook arm drag. As Remi scrambles to her feet, Athena charges forward again and takes her down with a thunderous clothesline! With precision, Athena dives onto Remi for another pin attempt!

KICK OUT!
Alexander Corvis: Athena is relentless! She’s racking up these near-falls and dominating the ring right now! This is just pure technical skill!
Maddie Murdock: And remember, this is a timed Olympian Match; Athena is looking to grab as many fall as she can, and so far, she’s come so close but is yet to register one!!
Joanna Penkzee-Nelson reenters the fray, hitting Athena from behind with a sharp forearm to the back of the head. Athena stumbles forward, and Joanna capitalises, scooping her up and slamming her down with a sideslam that rattles the canvas! Joanna quickly goes for the cover on Athena.

Rebel and Athena are both down! Athena rolls to the apron but Rebel crawls over as best she can and pulls her back to cover but it’s too late! The bell hits as she covers Athena!
DING DING DING!
Patricia Downs: Here is your winner… and NEW… EHWF Olympian Champion… Athena Veronica!
Alexander Corvis: WHAT! A! MATCH! What a fight! What a contest! That was freaking brutal! Athena Veronica overcomes Rebel Rhodes to win this one but what a fight from all these women! Rebel was damn near beaten to death by The Age of Fall and still came back out to almost win!
Maddie Murdock: But Athena Veronica was just too smart as she took advantage and became the very first EHWF Olympian Champion!
The fans are going NUTS! Rebel is on the mat looking beat up and disappointed! The massive mixed reaction from the fans comes as Athena holds up the EHWF Olympian Championship from the mat! Both Athena and Rebel sit up and stare each other down, completely exhausted.
Alexander Corvis: One thing on Rebel’s mind right now and that’s The Age of Fall! They’ve constantly attacked and ambushed herself and Griffin Hawkins! They attacked Griffin tonight and tonight they just cost Rebel a huge opportunity!!
Maddie Murdock: The war has only JUST begun between these two sides!
Rebel wipes the blood from her eyes and smacks the mat in rage! She looks back at the entrance, more pissed off at The Age of Fall than Athena as she grabs the ropes and slides out of the ring! She looks back at Athena who holds up the EHWF Olympian Championship belt and smirks as she gets up on the turnbuckle before we fade out.
“I’m not going anywhere…”
“Heroes” by Victorious plays loudly as the fans erupt into cheers as Katelyn De La Vega emerges from the curtain with a microphone in her hand, dressed in her ring wear and ready to compete in the main event tonight. She has one addition, however, a shirt that is soon to become regular merchandise in EHWF for her, with an ornate winged V on the front and a simple slogan on the back that read “Time to Work” upon the back.
It is clear that there exists a great deal of pressure on her broad shoulders as she strides up to the ring at a brisk pace. There was not the usual high-fives and greeting of fans along the way as one could read the serious expression on her face. This was not a standard night for her as things could very well end in disaster.
KDV: Hello, EHWF faithful. Tonight I stand in this ring at the very precipice of what could either be the greatest moment of my professional career or one of the more disastrous ones if things don’t go my way.
She takes a moment, the crowd rambunctious as ever. They begin to chant.
“YOU WON’T GO!”
“SCREW OFF, CASEY!!!”
“YOU WON’T GO!”
“SCREW OFF, CASEY!!!”
This puts a small smile on her face.
KDV: Thank you for your confidence and belief in me. It has been an incredible journey that has led me to this point. From wrestling at a small gym in Philadelphia, where a thousand dollars was seen as an almost unreasonable payout to wrestling in venues packed with people, just like this Coliseum here, in Albuquerque.
There is a sudden look of amusement as she looks down at the ringside crowd closest to her. Slowly she points to a specific seat in the fourth row with a smile.
KDV: Just three years ago, I was sitting right there, another face in the crowd like many of you, my head full of dreams, as I watched my heroes compete in the ring. This is everything I have ever wanted in life, to be on the other side of that barricade, competing with the greatest in the world. Tonight I face Casey Holliday, the Unified Global Champion.
The mention of Casey’s name sent a loud boo through the crowd.
KDV: You may hate her for the things she says and does, but you can’t take away that she wears the ultimate badge of the greatest in wrestling. It isn’t easy for anyone to be a champion, even when they take the occasional shortcut. I’ve never been one to take such measures and one could argue that it is a weakness of my character that I refuse to take the easier path.
Kate looks around at the rest of the crowd as she talks.
KDV: While I admit that it gives the ruthless an advantage, I say it adds to the challenge. I know that Casey will try anything and everything in her power to not leave, let alone lose the gold she has stained her hands more than once to keep. She will attack my vulnerabilities, try to injure me, maybe even cripple me if she can, but as many have learned thus far, you can knock me down time and again and I will just keep getting back up, refusing defeat at every turn.
She grips the ropes tightly with her free hand, taking a deep breath and then letting out a long exhale.
KDV: Some would say that is big talk from a rookie wrestler, but as inexperienced as I am and with all of the uncertainty I’ve felt and still feel at times, I would say that I’ve made it very far. I’ve shocked and awed veterans, incredible athletes, and even a legend or two along the way to here and now. In all this time, I’ve come to realize that I am capable of so much more than I ever thought was possible. I can do this…
Her gaze drifts until those dark russet colored eyes find the stage curtains.
KDV: Casey Holliday, know this, you will never take this confidence from me. I didn’t come all this way to just be left without anything, but I’m not afraid to do so. Are you? Are you terrified at the prospect that this young upstart could very well put an end to not only your reign but your career? Step out to the thing and let’s find out!
Kate pulls the shirt off over her head, twirls it around, and throws it to the crowd, giving some lucky fan a souvenir in the process.
KDV: IT. IS. . . .
Ms. Vega holds her microphone out to the fans, yelling with them.
“SHOOOOWWWTTTTIIIIIMMMMEEE!!!!”
She cuts the mic off and passes it through the ropes to a ring attendant, then turns and waits for the champion to come out.
We cut to ringside where Patricia Downs is waiting with a mic.
Patricia Downs: This main event contest is a Loser Leaves Town Match and it’s for the EHWF Unified Global Championship!
Her music plays over the house speakers, “Hero” by Victorius. Katelyn De La Vega walks through those curtains to the cheers of a large crowd packing the Arena tight with bodies elbow to elbow, chairs filled, and some could argue that there may have been more bodies than seats. The amazonian brunette raises her fist into the air to a large pop from the crowd. She then runs down the aisle and slides into the ring. Promptly, Kate rolls to her feet and shoves her fist into the air again, this time with a loud shout.
She cuts an impressive figure in her new black leather vest, an ornate winged V on her back in bright teal. Her attire is simple yet practical, black trunks and boots with sensible knee pads, a sports top with another winged V that runs along her neck line and down the front of her chest, this one white with blue highlights, and fingerless gloves to complete the look.
Kate removes her vest and drapes it atop her corner, then leans back against it, arms draped upon the ropes with a serious gaze as she awaits the start of the match.
Patricia Downs: Introducing… First tonight… She is the challenger… Katelyn De La Vega!
The crowd boos loudly as the riffs of "Strange Girl" by Halestorm hits the speakers. After about a minute, Casey Holliday walks out through the curtains and the first thing that is noticeable is her arrogance as she walks down the ramp. She does much scoffing and laughing as she hears the fans continue to get on her case. When she enters the ring, she ignores the booing crowd, which only serves to incite them to cheer her louder. Casey has a laugh to herself at this, as she starts to focus on her match and the song fades.
Patricia Downs: And next… Her opponent…. She is the EHWF Unified Global Champion… The Star Pupil… Casey Holliday!
DING DING DING
Main Event: Casey Holliday (c) vs. Katelyn De La Vega
Casey Holliday opens the match by circling around Katelyn De La Vega, a look of focus in her eyes as she smirks and taunts Katelyn… She quickly lunges in, feinting low before springing up with a leaping forearm that connects with Katelyn’s jaw! The impact sends Katelyn stumbling back, and Casey seizes the advantage, locking in a tight headlock, wrenching Katelyn’s neck down and keeping her grounded! Katelyn easily powers out of it! She swings but Casey laughs and ducks her and hits her with a right jab then a left jab then a knife edge chop!
Alexander Corvis: Casey’s using her technical prowess here, trying to keep Katelyn off her feet. Smart strategy! Casey is trying to get under Katelyn’s skin as he’s done for the past month! This match has HUGE implications though! The loser is getting fired!
Maddie Murdock: Right! Casey knows that if she allows Katelyn to use that raw power, she’s in big trouble! Both women are defeated and both women absolutely can’t stand each other! They couldn’t be more different but tonight the title and their jobs are on the line in this one!
Katelyn powers up to her feet, but Casey swiftly transitions, spinning around and taking her down with a head scissor takedown, followed by a sharp kick to Katelyn’s back! Casey runs the ropes, building up momentum, and delivers a dropkick square to Katelyn’s chest as she sits up, knocking her down again. Casey wastes no time, bouncing off the ropes once more, and nails Katelyn with a springboard crossbody, landing on her and going for a cover!

With a roar, Katelyn lifts Casey onto her shoulder, showcasing her strength as she walks to the center of the ring and slams Casey down with a running powerslam!
Alexander Corvis: There it is! Katelyn is finally getting the chance to use that power as Casey was schooling Katelyn early in this contest! This is heating up!!
Maddie Murdock: Casey dominated early on, but Katelyn’s strength advantage is undeniable! Casey was arrogant when she was in control and now she looks like she just got hit by a train!
Katelyn hauls Casey up by the arm and whips her into the ropes, catching her on the rebound with a brutal overhead spinebuster! that shakes the ring! Casey clutches her back in pain as Katelyn goes for a cover this time!

KICK OUT!
Alexander Corvis: SHIT! Katelyn going absolutely NUTS there! She just FLATTENED and CRUSHED Casey in pure power and anger! Casey manages to get the shoulder up! But for how long can she withstand this kind of punishment?
Katelyn shakes her head, grabbing Casey’s arm and hoisting her up once more. This time, she launches Casey back into the corner, rushing in and landing a hard shoulder thrust that doubles Casey over! Katelyn steps back and then drives another powerful shoulder into Casey’s midsection, leaving her gasping for air! With a final hard whip, Katelyn sends Casey to the opposite corner. Casey stumbles out, and Katelyn charges in, but Casey, in a last-ditch effort, drops down, grabbing the ropes and pulling them down as Katelyn goes barreling shoulder-first into the steel post! Katelyn yells in pain and Casey crawls around on the mat, hurt! Casey looks shocked for the first time as she sees Katelyn trying to recover! The fans go NUTS!
Maddie Murdock: Casey’s trying to get back in this! That was a smart move to avoid the impact sending Katelyn into the ring post at top speed but you’re gonna need more than that to stop that fucking beast!!
Casey quickly scrambles up, clutching her ribs as she watches Katelyn, who stumbles out of the corner holding her shoulder. Casey springs up, nailing a hard enzuigiri to the back of Katelyn’s head, dazing the powerhouse! The fans go NUTS as Casey backs off into the ropes and hits Katelyn with a chop block into the back of the bad leg! Katelyn yells in pain! Casey backs off and hits her with another chop block and Katelyn yells on the mat holding her leg! Casey wants to go and lock in Outclassed (heel hook) but she struggle with Katelyn on the mat as the fans get LOUD! Katelyn kicks Casey off of her! Casey backs off into the bottom and middle ropes then runs up and kicks Katelyn in the face!
Alexander Corvis: Casey targeting that bad leg that Katelyn has been trying to heal up for a while now! She wanted to lock in Outclassed but Katelyn was desperate! Casey is just so intelligent in the ring!!
Maddie Murdock: Casey is a fucking bitch…
Casey wastes no time going back on the attack, focusing on Katelyn’s left leg as Katelyn staggers, favouring it slightly after the enzuigiri. Casey swiftly moves in, darting low and sweeping Katelyn's injured leg out from under her, forcing her down to one knee! She grabs Katelyn’s ankle, attempting to twist her into position for Outclassed, but Katelyn powers her leg free, shoving Casey off before she can fully lock it in!
Alexander Corvis: Casey's got her sights set on that left leg, Maddie! If she can lock in Outclassed, it might spell disaster for Katelyn!
Maddie Murdock: But Katelyn’s not letting it happen! She’s a powerhouse, and Casey’s gonna have to really work if she wants to keep her down! We know how dangerous Casey is with Outclassed though! Look at what she’s done to Katelyn’s friends, Nephthys and ISIS with that move int he past!
Casey, undeterred, charges back, connecting with a low dropkick to the side of Katelyn’s knee, causing her to drop down in pain. Casey grabs hold of Katelyn's leg once more, twisting it forcefully before trying again to hook in Outclassed! Katelyn grits her teeth and thrashes, reaching out with her arms and powering her leg free again, sending Casey stumbling backward. But Casey is relentless, darting back in and slamming Katelyn's knee into the mat with a calculated drop! Katelyn clutches her knee in pain as Casey seizes her chance, grabbing Katelyn’s leg and twisting it again in a modified leg lock, applying as much pressure as she can! Katelyn reaches out for the ropes and yells in pain, trying to fight through the agony, but Casey skillfully transitions her hold, once again attempting to manoeuvre Katelyn into Outclassed! Just as she nearly locks it in, Katelyn plants both hands on the mat, lifting herself up and throwing her body back, causing Casey to break the hold and stumble.
Alexander Corvis: She almost had it locked in! Casey is relentless, but Katelyn’s size and strength are working to her advantage here, keeping her from being locked down! If Casey keeps working on that leg, Katelyn will have no chance! Casey has done such a good job of taking down the much bigger women tonight!
Casey, showing frustration, drives a stiff knee into Katelyn’s leg to wear her down, then yanks her up to her feet, whipping her into the ropes! Katelyn bounces off, hobbling slightly, and Casey springs forward, aiming for a precision dropkick to her leg. But Katelyn anticipates it, dodging just in time, causing Casey to hit the mat hard! Katelyn steadies herself, limping slightly as she pulls Casey up and nails her with a headbutt that leaves both of them momentarily dazed! Katelyn shakes it off first and, despite the pain in her leg, grabs Casey by the waist and hoists her up, positioning her high above before launching her down with a brutal high-impact spinebuster – her Spinal Devastator! The ring shudders with the force of the impact, and the crowd erupts as Casey lies sprawled out on the mat! The fans LOSE IT! Katelyn covers!

NO!
Maddie Murdock: Spinal Devastator! That spinebuster hit like a freight train! Casey’s gotta be hurt after that one but SOMEHOW she kicks out! I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone kick out of Spinal Devastator before?!
Alexander Corvis: Katelyn’s showing her resilience! Casey was relentless, but Katelyn’s strength advantage came through in a big way there and somehow it was STILL not enough to put Casey down!
Katelyn drops to her knees, visibly favouring her injured leg, but she keeps her focus, breathing heavily as she looks down at a dazed Casey. The fans are on their feet as Katelyn crawls over enraged that her finisher couldn’t get the job done! Katelyn picks Casey up but Casey drops behind her and takes her leg out with a chop block! Katelyn is down and Casey locks her in Outclassed and Katelyn yells in PURE AGONY as the fans go wild! Casey wrenches back with Outclassed and Katelyn is in big trouble!!
Maddie Murdock: Outclassed! Outclassed! It’s over! Katelyn’s bad leg is about to give way! No way that’s been healed up! Casey has done a number on it and now Outclassed is locked in!
Alexander Corvis: Katelyn’s trying to fight through!!
Katelyn looks like she might tap but forces herself to the ropes and grabs the bottom! 1… 2… 3… 4… Casey breaks it and both women are exhausted on the mat… Both competitors stagger to their feet, each breathing heavily but refusing to back down. Katelyn, still feeling the effects of Casey's relentless targeting of her leg, steadies herself and reaches for Casey, looking to execute another Spinal Devastator. She hauls Casey up, preparing to slam her down once again – but Katelyn’s leg gives out and Casey, slips off Katelyn’s grip and lands on her feet! Casey spins and nails Katelyn with a sharp, superkick right to the jaw! Katelyn stumbles back as Casey throws herself over her for the cover!

KICKOUT!
Alexander Corvis: Superkick! Casey with the cover – but no! Katelyn powers out of it! Katelyn presses Casey off even after all of that and the kick to the damn jaw!
Maddie Murdock: Casey’s frustration is boiling over, Alexander! She thought that was her moment, but Katelyn’s strength and resilience won’t let her stay down! Katelyn’s leg is in a lot of pain though! It gave out just before and that could spell the end of this match for her!
Casey sits up, furious. She slams her fists on the mat, glancing over at the referee in disbelief, before rolling to the outside and grabbing a steel chair! The crowd erupts in mixed reactions as she re-enters the ring, raising the chair above her head, intent on putting Katelyn down once and for all! She strides forward, ready to swing – but Katelyn, just in time, sees her coming and counters with a massive boot to Casey’s face! Casey stumbles back, the chair clattering to the mat as she falls to the ropes, dazed from the blow! The referee quickly kicks the chair out of the ring, removing it from play! The fans are going CRAZY right now! Casey and Katelyn are both down! Casey, clutching her face, rolls to the outside, desperate to put some distance between her and the fired-up Katelyn! But Katelyn’s not about to let her escape that easily. She rolls out right behind Casey and grabs her by the arm, yanking her in close and scooping her up with ease! With the fans ROARING, Katelyn lifts Casey high above her shoulders, adjusting her grip as she steps back toward the announce table. In a powerful show of strength, she drives Casey down with a brutal Jackknife powerbomb, shattering the announce table and leaving Casey sprawled in the wreckage!
Maddie Murdock: OH MY GOD! Katelyn just put Casey through the table with that Jackknife powerbomb! WHAT THE FUCK! Katelyn just put her through our damn table! Katelyn with everything she had dammit!
Alexander Corvis: That’s power right there! Katelyn is standing tall, and Casey looks absolutely broken in that wreckage! Casey wanted to end it with that steel chair shot but Katelyn wasn’t going to end it like that! How would that have gone down anyway!?
Katelyn stands over Casey, catching her breath as the fans chant wildly, the intensity of the battle hitting a fever pitch as both women lie amidst the destruction, their fight far from over! Katelyn rolls back in the ring and rolls right back out! She grabs Casey from the wreckage and whips her hard into the barricade near the timekeeper! The fans are going CRAZY! Katelyn holds her knee in pain and tries to recover! She looks up at the seated and hurt Casey and sprints at her like a bull! Casey leaps up at the last second and jumps over Katelyn who goes for a spear but gets sent through the barricade! Katelyn EXPLODES through the barricade and the fans go NUTS! She’s HURT and Casey rolls back in the ring!
Alexander Corvis: FUCK! What the fuck was that!? Katelyn was gonna spear Casey through the barricade but Casey like a blur just dodged it and sent Katelyn through the barricade and that might be it! Casey’s fighting IQ is off the damn charts!
Maddie Murdock: Katelyn not looking good after that one!
Casey raises her arms in the ring as she struggles to stand! The ref continues his count! 4… 5… 6… 7… Katelyn rolls out of the debris and wreckage and Casey looks PISSED! 8… 9… Casey smacks the mat in rage as Katelyn eventually rolls back in right at the last second and the fans GO CRAZY! Casey runs up and PUNTS Katelyn in the ribs! Katelyn gets up slowly after that as Casey pulls her in and wants Stock Plunge (Corkscrew Neckbreaker) but Katelyn shoves her into the ropes then catches her with a massive clothesline that sends Casey doing a 360 in the air and landing on her head! The fans go NUTS! Both women are down!
Alexander Corvis: This is fucking crazy! This is fucking insane! This is ridiculous! Neither woman is giving a damn inch now! How the heck are they both still standing! Casey Holliday just refuses to go down!
Maddie Murdock: Both women are undefeated! The EHWF Unified Global Championship is on the line! Their jobs are on the damn line tonight! Both women are refusing to lose!
Both are up but Katelyn with another huge clothesline levels Casey! Katelyn falls into the ropes and holds her leg! She forces herself up! Casey gets up and stumbles into Katelyn who hoists her up on her back! Katelyn’s leg gives out and Casey gets down and pulls her head and neck in for Stock Plunge! She swings around but Katelyn slips out and kicks Casey’s head off with her Alpha Vega Strike superkick! A mist of blood off the MASSIVE kick sends Casey into the ropes! She bounces off but before she falls, Katelyn continues the counter with Spinal Devastator in the centre of the ring then jackknifes over with a cover!

DING DING DING!
Patricia Downs: Here is your winner… And the NEW…. EHWF Unified Global Champion… Katelyn De La Vega!
The bell rings, and the crowd erupts as Katelyn De La Vega is declared the winner, claiming the EHWF Unified Global Championship! Katelyn drops to her knees, her body exhausted and battered, but her face is filled with overwhelming joy as the referee hands her the championship belt. Tears well in her eyes as she holds the title close, looking down at it in disbelief. After all her hard work and sacrifice, the moment has finally arrived! The fans LOSE IT! Slowly, she raises the championship high, her face reflecting both pride and relief as the fans chant her name!
Maddie Murdock: This is her moment! Katelyn De La Vega has done it! She’s the new EHWF Unified Global Champion, and you can see just how much this means to her! What a match and what a fight! And BUH BYE Casey!
Alexander Corvis: What an incredible performance! She went through hell, and she’s come out on top! There’s nothing like the first moment of championship glory, Maddie! Katelyn does it! She wins!
But as Katelyn celebrates, the scene shifts to Casey Holliday, who sits against the barricade, staring blankly ahead, her shock quickly turning to anger as reality sets in. She’s not only lost the title – she’s lost her job. Security and officials approach her, trying to escort her out, but she pushes them away, defiantly standing up. She’s yelling in frustration, eyes wild with rage as she shoves at the referees and security staff, cursing under her breath. Casey shouts at Katelyn, who looks on from the ring with her title raised, standing tall over the chaos below. Casey lashes out, knocking the camera slightly askew as she flips off the fans, security, and anyone in her path. As security gets a firmer hold on her, she’s forced up the ramp, still struggling and screaming obscenities at Katelyn and the audience! Meanwhile, Katelyn holds her championship high, gazing at it with a sense of awe, a tear tracing down her cheek. She stands proudly in the ring, the fans cheering her name as the scene fades, leaving Casey’s defiant shouts echoing faintly in the distance.
Maddie Murdock: Katelyn De La Vega’s got the gold, and this night belongs to her! Casey Holliday – she’s out of here! Couldn’t have happened to a nicer person - haha!
Alexander Corvis: Regardless… Katelyn De La Vega is our new EHWF Unified Global Champion! What a match! What a night!
Casey flips off the camera and knocks down a couple of security members before being escorted out! We see Katelyn hold up the EHWF Unified Global Championship as she stands on the top rope and the fans go WILD!
Alexander Corvis: Well ladies and gentlemen it’s been an amazing night! That’s all we have time for though! I can’t wait for next week! We’ll see you next week for Chaos! Good night and be safe!!
We see the final image of Katelyn De La Vega holding up the EHWF Unified Global Championship belt on the turnbuckle as the fans cheer before we fade out to the EHWF Logo ending the show.
