âEarn It...â
---------------------------------------------------------- {We open to a high light reel of last weeks Monday Night Sacrifice, we see the Pack taking Xavier Cross. Then Jayson Matthews making a triple threat invictus rematch official for tonight. Next we see Cable Arcane and Laura Howlett and the exchange that followed that ended with Ryan Shane being announced as the first member of the Extinction Event Challengers team and then laying out Cable Arcane. Finally a clip of Mike Laszlo making his intentions for Survival of the Fittest clear, he wants in on the Extinction Event.}Terri Morasco: Welcome to Monday Night Sacrifice live from the KFC Yum Center in Louisville, Kentucky! Vasco Dias: Itâs my favorite night of the month, Open Fight Night! The one night a month where any match is possible! Terri Morasco: And weâve got a huge card on our hands with Dejaun Dawson and Muru teaming up to take on their mutual thorn in their side of MR Happy and his partner for the evening of Pax Stormcrow! Vasco Dias: Not to mention a huge Shieldmaiden Championship match between Kate Steel, Fiona McFly and reigning champion Maxine Valentine! Terri Morasco: And finally the rematch between Jayson Matthews, Derek Brooks and Chris Card featuring Nighthawk as the special guest referee! Vasco Dias: But before all that weâve got a continuation from last week! Terri Morasco: We were supposed to have an announcement about the champions team at Survival of the Fittest which was cut off by the returning Laura Howlett- Vasco Dias: And the greatest Man of Steel Champion weâve ever had, the Steel Legend himself, Ryan Shane who will be the team captain of the challengers in the Extinction Event. Terri Morasco: A decision most in the back and the fans watching were not happy with. Vasco Dias: Too bad! Laura is management now and thatâs how she runs things! Terri Morasco: Well Cable Arcane is in charge too and Iâm sure heâs got something to say about that! {Pretty much on cue âLong Live the Chiefâ by Jidenna hits the pa as Cable Arcane steps out onto the ramp in an immaculate three piece suit with his signature aviators soaking in the cheers from the crowd. Arcane marches down the ramp to his music with a general smirk on his face before running up the steps. Cable smooths out his suit as he climbs through the ropes and asks for a microphone.}Cable Arcane: Let me just say it feels good to be here tonight in Louisville!!! {The crowd pops for Cable who just looks around with a smile.}Cable Arcane: But lets move past the pandering because there is something that I want to talk about that just⌠Really pisses me off! Vasco Dias: He has no right being upset, Laura didnât do anything for Shane that she wouldnât have done for him! Terri Morasco: Only if Cable agreed to sell his soul! Vasco Dias: Small price to pay for success! Cable Arcane: I never set out on a crusade to remove Roberto Verona from power, him putting his power on the line was a lesson in hubris as far as Iâm concerned. However, I do find myself in a position to effect the direction of this company and it is not my intention to just push my own personal agenda for thirty days! {The crowd pops again as a âLaura is a bitch!â chant starts up.}Cable Arcane: I donât want you the fans or the men and women in the back to view my time in charge of this company as the Cable Arcane show! I want to put the best foot forward and give everyone the best shows possible! Which brings me to Survival of the Fittest and the announcement made by the apparent representative of the Board of Directors, Laura Howlett. Ryan Shane is already booked in the Extinction Event, he doesnât have to earn his shot, he just gets it. I donât agree with that, I think the challengers positions should be earned just like the champions theyâre facing earned their titles. Which is why Iâm announcing two fatal four way matches for next week, the winners of which will become the other two male challengers in the Extinction Event! {The crowd pops for the announcement but their excitement is cut off immediately by âCanât Stopâ by Sixx AM as Laura Howlett makes her way out onto the stage in a great skirt suit and a mile side smile on her face.}Laura Howlett: Oh Cable, youâve always got to play the righteous card, donât you? Cable Arcane: Iâm just trying to do whatâs right! Laura Howlett: Are you? Because the board forwarded me the list of nameâs you had penciled in for the Fatal Four ways and while I agree with Mason St. Croix and Spike Kane I do find it a little bit funny that youâre preaching about earning your shot when⌠You put yourself in one of the fatal four ways? {The crowd pops at the announcement but Laura just smirks condescendingly.}Laura Howlett: Are can you criticize me for putting Ryan Shane into the Extinction Event when you yourself slip your name into the pool!? Cable Arcane: I have every intention to earn my place along side your pet project, Ryan Shane! Laura Howlett: But did you earn your shot at the shot? {Cable twitches his neck in an irritated fashion.}Cable Arcane: Look Laura, I see what youâre trying to do. Youâre trying to turn the fans and the roster against me. But these people want to see me in that match next week! They want to see me at the Extinction Event battling Andrew Jacobsen! {The Louisville crowd pops huge.}Cable Arcane: And I said I intend to give these people what they want and deserve! So unlike your little pet I am going to earn my place in the Extinction Event, or not but if I do⌠I promise you Ryan Shane is not leaving that match with a belt around his waist. {Laura scowls at Cable but the two of them are cut off by âCult of Personalityâ by Living Color, the crowd bursting out of their seats as Mike saunters out onto the stage next to a clearly annoyed Laura Howlett which seems to amuse Cable in the ring. Mike stops and looks Laura up and down who has her hand on her hip as his music dies down and a smirk crosses his face as he brings the microphone upward.}Mike Laszlo: You know...the last time I was actually in an arena with you...you were backing up the ramp with your goons⌠{He points to the ring.}Mike Laszlo: That guy included, pissed off in my hometown that I got the better of you that night. {He waves his hands while shaking his head.}Mike Laszlo: Thatâs not why Iâm out here though. You see I heard you both talking of the Extinction Event. I heard about these Fatal Four Ways to get in...well...for the rest. {He turns to Laura.}Mike Laszlo: Your new bitch boy gets in for free. {He turns to Cable.}Mike Laszlo: And you get in because youâre the boss for thirty days. {He looks at the stage floor, trying to come up with something to say next.}Mike Laszlo: How about I get in...just because Iâm me? {Laura looks at Mike disgusted.}Laura Howlett: And what the hell have you done lately to be put in a match of this magnitude? Mike Laszlo: Lately? The same as your client...nothing. I thought since he could get in with that, so could I...especially since, you know, I have the bigger name value. As far as overall? Last I checked, Spike and I fought over the Number One Contendership. Yes, he won, but now heâs had his shot, and I think itâs my turn in line, and hell, what better place to win than the Extinction Event? Unless youâre afraid Shane canât beat me. Laura Howlett: Ryan Shane can beat you blindfolded. Cable Arcane: Well, I guess heâll have his chance to prove it...Mike...YOUâRE IN! {The crowd erupts as Laura looks like sheâs ready to blow a gasket. She looks back at Mike who just starts laughing in her face as we go to the commentators at ringside.}Terri Morasco: What an announcement by Cable Arcane! Former Imperial Champion, Mike Laszlo is one of the participants in one of the two Fatal Four Way qualifiers next week for the Extinction Event! Vasco Dias: HE CANâT DO THAT! Terri Morasco: I think he just did. {Mike continues to laugh at Laura who looks back at Cable who seems to be enjoying it all as she stomps away and we fade to commercial break.}----------------------------------------------------------

âGrievance Filed...â
---------------------------------------------------------- {We come back from commercial and backstage we see Cable Arcane storming through the gorilla position when he is suddenly stopped by the stagehand known as Greg with his trusty clipboard.}Cable Arcane: Greg⌠{Cable takes a deep breath before removing his aviators.}Cable Arcane: I swear to god if this is about catering⌠Greg: No, actually this is much, much worse. {Cable rubs his temples with both hands before starting toward his office.}Cable Arcane: Fine, what is it. Greg: Youâve had a grievance filed against you. Cable Arcane: Took longer than I thought. What for? Greg: Biased booking. Cable Arcane: I saw that coming, by who? {The two of them round the corner to where Cableâs office is and before them is the entire male locker room of IWF.}Greg: All of them. Cable Arcane: Jesus Christ. {The murmuring of the men stops as they all look at Cable Arcane.}Cable Arcane: Ok, letâs do this. {Cable marches forward with Greg in toe and invites all the men into his office for what is sure to be a heated discussionâŚ}----------------------------------------------------------
TAG TEAM MATCH
Pax Stormcrow & Mr. Happy vs Muru & Dejaun Dawson
---------------------------------------------------------- {A hard fought battle between the two teams ended with Muru hitting the Muru Splash on Mr. Happy as Dejaun was able to hold off Stormcrow from making the save.}----------------------------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Rayne vs Crystal Hilton
---------------------------------------------------------- {Blood by In this Moment roars through out the arena as the crowd cheers. Rayne storms out from the back and through the curtain and stops on the center of the stage soaking in the cheers. Rayne looks around with a sly smirk before marching her way down to the ring. Rayne rolls right in under the bottom rope and jumps right to her feet before heading to the corner of the ring and throwing her arms up yelling out "The Boss Bitch is Here!"}Terri Morasco: Next weâve got what I imagine Crystal Hilton is hoping to be a friendly match between friends. Vasco Dias: I didnât get the impression from Rayne that she has any interest in being Crystalâs friend after their tag team loss at last months Open Fight Night. Terri Morasco: I got that feeling as well, Rayne seemed pretty heated but Crystal still seems to be hopeful that Rayne wonât take this match personally. {We see Crystal already waiting in the ring hopping back and forth as Rayne loosens her wrists in her corner.The referee checks them both over.}Vasco Dias: Yeah, Rayne looks ready to kill Crystal. Terri Morasco: Maybe Crystal should have called out? {The referee finally calls for the bell and the two women meet in the center of the ring.Crystal holds her hand out for Rayne as the crowd chants and screams. Rayne looks down at the hand of Crystal Hilton before moving in and hoisting Crystal up onto her shoulder and slamming Hilton down to the mat with a high angle Bitch Buster!}Vasco Dias: Guess Rayne didnât want to shake hands. Terri Morasco: Ya think!? {Crystal is right back up to her feet and runs face first into the jab/cross/hook/upper cut combo of Rayne! Hilton falls backward into the ropes and bounces off right into a Deep Six by Rayne who steps right back up to her feet and lets out a yell as the crowd cheers her on. Rayne steps back into the corner of the ring and waits for Crystal to up. Hilton reaches her feet and Rayne charges in with a huge SPEAR!}Terri Morasco: Rayne is dissecting Crystal Hilton! Vasco Dias: Which is quite the opposite of what happened in their last encounter a few years ago. Terri Morasco: I wonder if Rayne has had that chip on her shoulder this whole time? Vasco Dias: Probably. {Rayne pulls Crystal Hilton up off the mat and just shakes her head before pulling Hilton in for the IMPLANT BUSTER! Crystal Hilton is down and Rayne makes the cover, hooking Crystalâs leg. ONE! TWO! THREE!!!}Vasco Dias: Rayne with a definitive win and moving another notch up the power rankings! Terri Morasco: Some think her age works against her but Iâm thinking maybe her age is a motivating factor. As Rayne showed her tonight she doesnât have time to waste in the ring! {Rayne stands proud with her arms raised in victory as the crowd cheers.}----------------------------------------------------------

Right Here, Right NOW!
---------------------------------------------------------- {The lights go out before the tron flickers to life with a flick of orange hair, before "In God We Trustâ by Sweet Little Machine blasts out of the PA with orange and green lights flashing wildly, in time with the drums}"ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! NAH, NAH, NAH NAH! NAH NAH-NAH NAH NAH!" {The crowd chant along with the song, as Shea OâHara barges through the curtain before standing in the middle of the stage. She lowers herself, almost squatting, before thrusting her arms into the air with the âdevil hornsâ as a small pyro goes off behind her. She then sprints to the ring, sliding under the ropes and runs to the camera side and leans through the ropes on the second rope throwing up her âdevil hornsâ once again.}Shea O'Hara: Hello Louisville! {The crowd cheers enthusiastically, roaring their approval for the unexpected arrival of the phenomenally popular former Shieldmaiden.}Shea O'Hara: I had to come out here tonight. Talk to all of you wonderful people, the thousands of men and women and kids around the world who have had my back over the last few months and beyond, who cheered me on as I drove to my battle against Eternity at Night of the Immortals, ending her Shieldmaiden reign and stopping her reign of terror over the IWF Diamonds Division! {Sheaâs words are met with another cacophony of cheers.}Shea O'Hara: As you all know, my reign was cut short at October Revolution, keeping me just a single win away from being able to name my own stipulation for my shot against the reigning Diamonds Champion⌠a loss that was helped along by the interference of that same Diamonds Champion, Rowan MacDonnough, as she passed the Shieldmaiden along to her lackey. {The crowd boos loudly, but Shea waves it away.}Shea O'Hara: But Iâm not here to make like a third Garcia twin and moan about how unfair a loss is. You all know me! You know that right now Iâm looking to the future â not just to the future of Shea OâHara, but to the future of the Diamonds Division, the future of the IWF, and the future of the WORLD! And even though I may not be able to pick the match of my choice when I come for the Irish Nightmare⌠that WONâT. STOP. ME. FROM. COMING. FOR. HER! {The crowd roars once again.}Shea O'Hara: But I was going to be professional about it. I was going to wait for a nice climactic battle at a PvP to have our showdown, but then last week I saw what happens when you let that Demon run free! I may have no love for Xavier Cross, but I remember what happens when a truly evil woman holds so much sway and is not challenged as she tortures and brainwashes those who get in her way, and I am NOT about to let her continue. So Iâm done waiting. Rowan MacDonnough? You want me losing the Shieldmaiden, then you got it... ...And that means that I am challenging you for your title TONIGHT! RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW! YOU AND ME, HERE IN LOUISVILLE AT OPEN FIGHT NIGHT! Vasco Dias: WHAT?! {Shea stares defiantly at the entrance ramp as the crowd explodes into cheers of deafening anticipation. Shea stands against the ropes for a few long moments⌠before the lights black out and the crowdâs cheer intensifies yet further, knowing what the sudden darkness means.}Terri Morasco: It looks like Rowanâs coming out! We might have a match, Vasco! {The crashing cymbals and screeching opening chord of âRed Starsâ by the Birthday Massacre ring out, and red smoke billows from either side of the entranceway as Rowan MacDonnough stalks out from behind the curtain, golden eyes glinting in the red light as they shift from side to side. The stage and ramp are lit by swirling red light, but everything else remains dark. She lopes forward, unconsciously rolling her wrists as her eyes bore a hole in the air before her. The smoke seems to follow her down the ramp as she walks, reaching up and grabbing the middle rope with one hand. Rowan hauls herself up onto the apron, standing and ducking between the middle and top rope to step inside the ring. She straightens up, slowly pacing towards the center of the ring as a spiralling pattern of red light appears on the mat, and her eyes scan the crowd, head moving in a jerky, animalistic pattern.
Finally she turns towards Shea herself, walking right up to the shorter woman and glaring her down. She looks slowly around the audience before returning her attention to Shea, slowly raising a mic to her mask.}Rowan MacDonnough: I accept⌠{The crowdâs pop at the idea of seeing Rowan and Shea fight for the first time since Bloody Assizes is almost enough to blow the roof off of the building, but Rowan isnât finished speaking.}Rowan MacDonnough: âŚOn one condition. {Shea tilts her head, grinning confidently at the Wolf of the Abyss as the crowd quiets down to let Rowan speak.}Rowan MacDonnough: The crowd wants spectacle. The crowd wants pain. You want my Pack kept from the ring. I can grant both wishes, with⌠{Rowan slowly raises her arms, and as she does FLAMES rise from the edge of the ring until they are so high as to almost completely cover the ropes! Rowan stands, hands outstretched, laughing as she watches Shea with a cruel eye.}Rowan MacDonnough: ⌠An Inferno Match. {Shea looks at the fire surrounding her, uncertainty flickering on her face for a brief moment⌠before she nods enthusiastically and signals the ref who calls for Valance!}Shea O'Hara: You're on! Alison Valance: The following contest is an Inferno Match, and is for the IWF DIAMONDS CHAMPIONSHIP! Introducing first, the challenger from Cork Ireland, weighing in at 135 pounds, the Redheaded Riot SHEA OâHARA! And her opponent, representing the Pack and weighing in at 145 pounds, the IWF DIAMONDS CHAMPION⌠ROWAN MACDONNOUGH!!! DING! {The two bitter rivals go straight for one another the second the bell rings, and engage in a lightning-fast sequence of strikes and reversals that are almost too fast for the audience to follow. Both of them go at one another in a savage clash, but when the two of them step apart from one another it is immediately evident that neither of them was able to land a single blow on the other!}Terri Morasco: Shea OâHara and Rowan MacDonnough shared an intense feud over the Shieldmaiden title after Night of the Immortals, and itâs clear that the animosity has â if anything â only increased since then! Vasco Dias: But neither of these competitors have lost a step. Itâs clear that the focus they put into learning one another when fighting over the Shieldmaiden has not been forgotten. There is no woman in the division that Rowan is more prepared to face than Shea OâHara, and I think the same can be said the other way around. {The two women circle one another, Shea smiling and urging Rowan to come at her as she insists that sheâs ready for anything Rowan can throw her way. Rowan surges forward like a freight train, crashing hard into Shea with a leaping knee strike, the blow finally landing home. However, Shea is quick to recover from the blow and takes Rowan to the ground with an arm drag. She tries to keep Rowan grounded, but Rowan is able to maneuver herself away from the hold, though she is forced to contort her arms in a very painful looking way in order to do so. When Rowan gets back to her feet, Shea hits her hard with a pele kick, sending Rowan sprawling to the other side of the ring, only maintaining her footing with the help of the hopes.}Vasco Dias: Rowanâs weakness is technical wrestling, but itâs clear with all of the technical women sheâs been forced to defend her title against these past months that sheâs growing increasingly apt at keeping herself from getting grounded. {Rowan shakes off the dazed look from the pele kick before whirling on Shea, charging once again with a bloodthirsty howl of rage. This time she goes low, taking Shea to the ground with a dropkick to the knee, rolling away from Shea after the blow to ensure that the Bombshell doesnât have time to take advantage of her while sheâs down. Shea moves away, looking to put distance enough between herself and the next charge, and finds herself in the corner. By the time she gets there, though, Rowan is already halfway across the ring, aiming to hit Shea with a yakuza kick! Shea barely manages to get out of the way in time, the blow slightly clipping her cheek and leaving a scratch as she moves away. Shea turns around to face Rowan, but is once again surprised by the championâs speed â this time entirely unable to avoid getting taken to the ground by the BEAST OF WAR! The fire roars upwards as Shea hits the mat as though fueled by the violence.}Terri Morasco: People talk so much about her off the charts striking power, but so many forget just how fast Rowan can be when she needs to. Vasco Dias: She may not have the sustained agility that some other girls might have, but when she needs to pull out the overdrive she can move faster almost than the eye can track. Though she canât keep it up very long, itâs a great way to keep her opponents off balance â which is exactly where a cruel predatory wrestler like Rowan wants them to be. {Rowan flips over the top rope, standing on the fire for a few brief moments as Shea rises to her feet. Before she can fully recover however, Rowan bounds over the top rope and crashes hard into Shea with the MARK OF MACHA! Shea once again hits the mat to the surging approval of the flames, and Rowan grabs Shea by the wrist to try to drag her to the edge of the ring to force her into the fire. However, even though she just took the full force of one of Rowanâs finishers, Shea is still too strong and aware to let herself lose that quickly. Instead she gets to her knees and grabs Rowanâs arm, pulling her hard into the BOMBSHELL! The flames flash high a third time, but now for Rowanâs crashing impact on the mat!}Vasco Dias: That fire looks hungry for blood and it doesnât care where it gets it or whose it is. {Rowan crawls to her feet in the corner, using the ropes to hasten her ascent as Shea rises as well, the latter gleaming with sweat from the intense heat within the ring. With Shea momentarily distracted by the exhaustion, Rowan removes the pad from one of the turnbuckles!}Terri Morasco: Oh god! An unprotected turnbuckle strike like that can cause serious injury. Vasco Dias: I donât think thatâs what sheâs doing, Terri; look! {Sure enough, Rowan isnât making any sort of move to toss Shea into that corner of the ring. Instead, she is dipping the pad itself into the fire â holding it there until it is fully alight! She holds the cords that previously kept it attached to the ropes and begins swinging the heavy piece of burning padding like a demonic flail. She then advances menacingly on Shea, who is forced to keep her distance as Rowan swings the flame around with frightening speed, leaving spiraling patterns of firelight lingering in the air as she moves, her golden eyes shining through the smoke.}Terri Morasco: One hit from that and it could be all over, Vasco. Who knows how hot that padding must be burning? It could easily be enough to set Sheaâs attire alight with a single well-placed strike! {Rowan laughs cruelly as she pursues her red-headed opponent, the flaming weapon seeming only to gain speed. Shea carefully measures Rowanâs movements, desperately calculating each movement in hopes of finding an opening. Finally, technical expert she is, she finds it â and as soon as Rowan makes a high strike, Shea ducks under and around, getting behind the champion, before slamming her in the back with a STRAIGHT EDGE SUPERKICK! Rowan is knocked flying over the top ropes to the outside!}Terri Morasco: STRAIGHT EDGE SUPERKICK! Thatâs the same move that put Rowan away at October Revolution, leading to Shea being the first woman to EVER pin the Wolf of the Abyss! Vasco Dias: A pin wonât help her now, but itâs certainly left Rowan well out of her senses if Shea can capitalize! {Shea watches as Rowan slowly tries to get to her feet on the outside before raising the devil horns to the audience. The crowd cheers in approval as she signals them before she launches into a massive suicide dive, crashing hard into Rowan and pinning her against the barricade!}Terri Morasco: These two just wonât be contained! {The violence continues hard on the outside with both women fighting against one another with everything they have. However, Rowan is clearly on the defensive as Shea pushes her against the edge of the Spanish announce table, keeping her from maneuvering or getting away. Shea dizzies Rowan with a hail-mary of a strike, before lifting her up and DRIVING HER THROUGH THE SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE WITH THE SWEET LITTLE MACHINE!}Terri Morasco: Well, I guess the Spanish announce team will be standing for the rest of this match! {Shea pulls Rowan to her feet, and looks ready to try to toss Rowan to the apron over the flames, but Rowan manages to overbear Sheaâs grapple and steers herself instead towards the second announce table. Rowan still seems to be on the run, and Shea pursues with the fiery look of imminent victory in her eye⌠but as she gets close Rowan snaps into action and flips into a DANCE THE SPIRAL, the kick slamming into Shea with such force that it smashes her through the second announce table!}Vasco Dias: There it is! I knew this would happen soon! Terri Morasco: This is what Rowan does, she lets her opponent wear themselves down with desperate offense before seizing the initiative thanks to her insane ability to ignore pain that would leave other women senseless. Vasco Dias: Also I think Christano Tapia is laughing at us over there. {Shea staggers away from the wreckage of the table, stabilizing herself against the corner post of the ring, but Rowan is on her feet like lightning and immediately on top of her, hammering into Shea with a massive knee lift to the face to send her crumpling against the steel steps. Smelling blood in the water, Rowan steps back⌠before hitting Shea with the BALORâS GAZE, crushing the Redheaded Riotâs head between her boot and the steel steps!}Terri Morasco: That HAD to hurt! Vasco Dias: Iâd be astonished if Shea even knew where she was after getting hit like that. {Shea is insensate from the mix of the heat of the fire and the crushing blows from the Champion, and is unable to fight back as Rowan grabs her by the throat and pushes her towards the apron! Shea struggles, desperate to fight back, but inch by inch Rowan overbears her and gains ground until she has the former Shieldmaiden pressed against the apron⌠and then forces her yet further back against the ropes as the fires hungrily lap at Sheaâs back! With Shea pinned against the ropes and the apron, Rowan straddles her and begins pounding away at Sheaâs head with the DEFILER!}Terri Morasco: Someone get her out of there! {Shea screams in pain, and Rowan wrenches Shea away and tosses her handily in the wreckage of the announce table⌠and the back of Sheaâs outfit is burning! She desperately rolls on the floor in a whirlwind of smoke and flame as Rowan watches on, laughing as the Ref calls for the bell!}Alison Valance: Here is your winner, and still IWF Diamondâs ChampionâŚ. ROWAN MACDONNOUGH!!! {Red Stars by The Birthday Massacre plays as Rowan triumphantly returns to the ring, standing in the middle as the flames rise steadily around her, golden eyes gazing mockingly at Shea as ringside assistants rush to her side with fire extinquishers in hand, putting out the fire before it can spread too far.}Terri Morasco: And for the first time in her career, Rowan MacDonnough walks away victorious from a match with Shea OâHara! Vasco Dias: Itâs like weâve seen â the Rowan MacDonnough of today isnât the same woman who Shea beat to retain the Shieldmaiden back at Bloody Assizes and the matches before. Something new and horrifying has awakened in that monster, and it was too much for Shea OâHara. Terri Morasco: I just hope Sheaâs alright. ----------------------------------------------------------
SINGLES MATCH
Akihiro Nakamura vs Ryan Shane
---------------------------------------------------------- Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! {The arena lights dim to a low hue as a golden spot light shines on the stage, the opening to Trivium's "Villainy Thrives" begins to play as the golden light strobes to the piano. Once the song kicks into gear Akihiro Nakamura comes exploding out from the stage with a burst of pyro and cheers from the crowd. He lands in a crouched position and looks all around before standing up and holding his fists high up over his head.}Alison Valance: Introducing first weighing one hundred and ninety pounds, from Mexico City, Mexico, Akihiro Nakamura!!! {Akihiro Nakamura sprints down the ramp and springs off a trampoline over the top rope and front flipping before landing on his feet. From there he runs to the ropes and leaps onto the second rope in the corner and holds his fists up again over his head.}Terri Morasco: Itâs been over three months since the man formerly known as Zasshu has been in the ring. I have to say Vasco, Akihiro Nakamura looks as good as he ever has. Vasco Dias: He could have come back and faced anyone, and he chooses Ryan Shane? I wouldnât be surprised if Shane finishes the job he started at Lineage. {âAngry Heartâ by Otherwise begins to play throughout the arena and the crowd boos loudly. The entrance ramp is dimly lit and Laura Howlett makes her way out from behind the curtain. The fans in attendance have no problem letting her know exactly what they think of her. Ryan Shane then makes his way out as pyro goes off behind him.}Alison Valance: His opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Laura Howlett and, weighing two hundred and ten pounds, from Allen Park, Michigan, he is the 2017 Heir to the Throne...Ryan Shane!!! {Laura Howlett heads toward the ring with Ryan Shane following close behind her. When they get to the ring Shane slides in under the bottom rope as Howlett climbs the ring stairs. Ryan opens the ropes for her and she enters the ring. Once they are both in the ring the two share a kiss.}Terri Morasco: We saw Ryan Shane for the first time since Extreme Endurance, when he showed up and attacked Cable Arcane with a steel chair. Vasco Dias: Letâs be honest Terri, he deserved it. No one says no to Laura Howlett. In return Shane was named the first member of the challenging team for the Extinction Event at Survival of the Fittest. Terri Morasco: An abuse of power by Laura Howlett. {Inside the ring, Shane and Nakamura stand across from each other. They are only separated by the referee. The two men anxiously await for him to ring the well.}DING DING DING {With the match underway the two men circle each other. With so many matches between them neither want to make a mistake. The two go to lock up but Nakamura surprises Shane with a kick then sends him back a step. A second attempt leads to a kick to the midsection that doubles Shane over. An angry Shane tries to fight back but gets hit with an overhead belly to belly suplex which sends him scampering to the outside.}Terri Morasco: I think Nakamuraâs fight has caught Shane by surprise here tonight. Vasco Dias: Iâm sure Shane is just toying with him Terri. {Outside of the ring Laura Howlett is checking on Shane. Nakamura runs toward the ropes looking to dive to the outside but Howlett stands between him and Shane. When Shane does decide to get back into the ring he is met with kicks from Nakamura. Akihiro doesn'tâ let up and he drags Shane through the ropes. A bicycle kick brings Shane to his knees and follows that up with a quick hurricanrana.}Terri Morasco: Legendary Rana! By Nakamura and heâs going to try and end this early. ONE TWO⌠Vasco Dias: A kickout by Shane. {The crowd is behind Nakamura as he backs Shane into a corner. He follows that up with a step-up high knee that connects and drops Shane into a seated position. Nakamura then goes for a cannonball but is met with the knees of Shane. Ryan then tries to use the ropes to get a fall.}ONE⌠Terri Morasco: Shane tries to cheat for victory but is thwarted by the referee. Vasco Dias: Iâm sure his entanglement was accidental Terri. {Akihiro keeps the kicks coming fast. He then hits the top rope and delivers a tornado DDT which plants Shane into the mat and results in another pinfall.}ONE TWO⌠Terri Morasco: Nakamura is on fire tonight. Vasco Dias: I have to admit heâs showing something here tonight, but heâs in the ring with Ryan Shane. {Akihiro Nakamura goes to pull Shane to his feet but Shane is finally able to go on the offensive. He connects with a strong left jab and follows that up with discus punch. As Nakamura stumbles Shane hits a russian leg sweep and then makes his way to the middle rope.}Terri Morasco: Allen Park Elbow connects and Shane goes for a cover. ONE TWO⌠Vasco Dias: Did the count seem a little slow to you? {Shane whips Nakamura into the corner and follows him in with a splash. Coming out of the corner he hits a bulldog. With Akihiro on the mat Shane looks to his previous injured knee and starts stomping on it. Pulling Nakamura up he hits a shinbreaker doing damage to the leg.}Terri Morasco: Shane has finally taken control and it looks like heâs getting to implement his game plan. Vasco Dias: It was only a matter of time Terri. {Shane lifts Nakamura up again looking for another shinbreaker but this time Akihiro is able to flip out of it. Ryan turns around looking to connect with a hard left with Nakamura ducks in and hits a death valley driver. With Shane on the mat he climbs to the top and waits.}Vasco Dias: Watch out Shane! Terri Morasco: I donât think he can hear you and I don'tâ think it matters. Nakamura just hit the Worldâs Best Moonsault! ONE TWO⌠{Shane gets his shoulder up.}Terri Morasco: The split legged moonsault was only a split second away from getting Akihiro Nakamura a victory. {As the crowd cheers him on Nakamura is waiting for Shane to get back to his feet. He goes for a spin kick to the head ducks it. He tries for a second and Shane is able to catch his leg and drive an elbow into right knee. As they fall to the mat Shane locks in a submission.}Terri Morasco: Shane just locked in a kneebar. This is the same hold that put Nakamura on the shelf for the past three months! Vasco Dias: Itâs over! Not just the match, but the career of Akihiro Nakamura! {Nakamura is screaming out in pain as Shane locks it in tighter. The referee is asking him if he wants to give up but Nakamura is shaking his head no. Shane is smiling as he inflicts damage but Nakamura is fighting with all he has to get to the ropes. He stretches out his arms.}Terri Morasco: Akihiro Nakamura is fighting for the ropes with all heâs worth! Vasco Dias: I canât believe it! He reached the bottom rope and Shane has to release him. {Even though Nakamura has reached the ropes, Shane is refusing to release the hold. The referee starts his count.}ONE TWO THREE FOUR⌠{Shane breaks the hold before he gets disqualified.}Terri Morasco: Nakamura breaks the hold but the damage might have been done. Vasco Dias: Itâs only a matter of time. {Nakamura has pulled himself to his feet with help from the ropes. Ryan Shane looks to keep the momentum and continue the attack.}Terri Morasco: Super-K! Nakamura just hit a superkick to the chin of Shane, bad leg and all! Vasco Dias: This isn'tâ good⌠{Nakamura falls onto Shane and hooks a leg. The referee goes to make his count but before he can Laura Howlett hops up on the apron to distract him. With the referee not doing his job, Nakamura hits the mat himself and the crowd chants along.}ONE TWO THREE!!! Terri Morasco: If the referee was doing his job this match would be over! Vasco Dias: Can you blame him for being distracted? Laura Howlett is quite beautiful. {The referee finally turns around and slides into position.}ONE TWO THR⌠Terri Morasco: Shane kicks out! Vasco Dias: Of course! {Akihiro Nakamura is visibly upset as he pleads with the referee. He wants to know where the referee was when he was pinning Shane. It only takes that one moment for the resourceful Shane to take advantage, as he drives his shoulder into the injured knee of Nakamura. That leaves an opening.}Terri Morasco: Shaning Wizard!!! Vasco Dias: Shane makes the cover and the referee is in perfect position! ONE TWO THREE!!! DING DING DING Alison Valance: The winner of the match...Ryan Shane!!! {With the match over, Laura Howlett climbs the ring steps and enters through the ropes. Once inside the ring her and Shane celebrate their victory with another kiss as âAngry Heartâ by Otherwise plays over the arena speakers.}Terri Morasco: Ryan Shane and Laura Howlett steal another one! Akihiro Nakamura was only seconds away from victory and Howlettâs interference cost him the match. Vasco Dias: Did it? Thatâs some heavy speculation Terri. I think only one thing is clear. It doesnât matter what he calls himself, when it comes to Akihiro Nakamura, the House always wins! {Ryan and Laura exit the ring and make their way up the ramp. The couple are all smiles as the crowd boos them. Inside of the ring the medical staff has rushed to check on Nakamura who is getting to his feet under his own power and waves them off.}----------------------------------------------------------

One More ShotâŚ
---------------------------------------------------------- {Camera finds Riley Gordon confronting Shea OâHara backstage as Sarah Cavanaugh checks her back for burns.}Riley Gordon: What the hell was that? Shea O'Hara: What do you mean? Riley Gordon: I mean âwhat the HELL was that?â! You took your one shot at the Diamonds Title and threw it away at an Open Fight Night!? We were ready to hype this match, take the promotion to the next level, and in the drop of a hat...you flushed it down the toilet! Shea O'Hara: Iâm fairly sure Open Fight Night says I can challenge who I want, when I want so long as they accept. {Riley backs Shea up against the wall.}Riley Gordon: Listen to me, Shea, Iâm the boss of this Diamonds Division. There is no more âCoâ anything...I call the shots. We donât just go around half-cocked, shooting off at a momentâs notice. The next time you want to pull something like this...at least have the decency to consult me first. Shea O'Hara: Fine. If thatâs how you want to play it, boss. {Riley Gordon lets out an angry sigh and starts to walk away, rubbing the bridge of her nose as though fighting a migraine.}Shea O'Hara: I want another shot at her. {Riley closes her eyes, stopping in her tracks.}Riley Gordon: What? {Riley turns her head, looking over her shoulder at Shea.}Shea O'Hara: I said I want another shot at her. She beat me tonight, but I want another shot. Riley Gordon: Your Shieldmaiden Reign doesnât give you more than a single shot at the champion, Shea. Shea O'Hara: ⌠Technically I didnât cash in that shot. Itâs Open Fight Night. I just challenged her to a title match and she accepted. People have challenged Andrew Jacobsen for his title before and he was allowed to put his belt on the line. {Riley lets the thought process in her head, shaking her headâŚ}Riley Gordon: FINE! You want another shot? You get another shot. But itâs no longer on your terms. You donât get the big one on one hero moment I know you so badly want. You want another shot at MacDonnough and the Diamonds Title? Itâs yoursâŚIN THE EXTINCTION EVENT...youâre on the challengers team. Shea O'Hara: âŚ. Okay. I can live with that. I donât need the hero moment so long as I can stop her⌠{Riley shakes her head needing to escape all of this, she holds up her hands.}Riley Gordon: Whatever. Youâve got your shot...make the most of it. {Riley Gordon walks away before Shea finishes, and the camera zooms in on Shea as she watches Riley leave.}Shea O'Hara: ⌠No matter what it takes. ----------------------------------------------------------
CHAMPION VS CHAMPION SHOWCASE
I QUIT MATCH
Dean Harper vs Andrew Jacobsen
---------------------------------------------------------- {This match is brutal, hard-hitting, and vicious, with both men being busted open during the match and brawling into the stands. Dean puts Andrew through the Spanish announce table with a Screaming from the Sky, and Andrew counters an attempt at the Descent into Hell into the Gordie Howe Special. In the end, Andrew traps Dean in the ropes with a modified Sharpshooter, forcing him to pass out but never getting Dean to verbally submit.}----------------------------------------------------------

Kate has a huge smile on her face as she stares at the roaring crowd who are all cheering her on. She begins to sprint down the aisle as she claps the hands of outstretched fans.
Kate finally makes it to the ring and she quickly runs up the ring steps as she grabs the turnbuckle as hard as she can. She immediately leap frogs over the ropes and bounces about before she points at the crowd cheering her on. She closes her eyes placing a single finger over her lips offering the âShhhhâ sound which all the fans follow in. She takes her place in the corner afterwards waiting for her opponents}Alison Valance: Introducting first.. standing at 5â2 weighing in at 110 lbs: and hailing from Berkshire, England âThe Sirenâ KATE STEELE {"I'm Shipping Up to Boston" by Dropkick Murphys kicks into high gear as Fiona McFly marches out on stage, takes a bow, and heads down to the ring--giving lucky fans quick pecks on the cheek along the way.}Alison Valance: Her opponent ,entering the ring ; Standing at 5â8â weighing in at 138 pounds hailing from Arlington Texas, FIONA MCFLY! âAmazing Grace!

Not What I Had in MindâŚ
---------------------------------------------------------- {We go backstage and see Sara Garcia walking through the hallway, stopping in front of the door with the name âHead of the Diamonds: Riley Gordonâ on the nameplate. She opens the door and storms in as we see Riley filling out some paperwork, looking up annoyed.}Riley Gordon: I guess knocking wasnât an option? Sara Garcia: No. I want something and I want it now. I beat Rayne and Crystal Millar. I beat Keira Hunter. I beat Kate Steele. Thatâs two former Shieldmaidens, and the last contender. I want a spot in the Extinction Event at Survival of the Fittest as the challenger to the Shieldmaiden. {Riley sets down her pen, nodding her head while folding her fingers together.}Riley Gordon: I see. You bring up some valid points, but I already had plans for that spot. Sara Garcia: Plans that didnât involve me getting the spot I deserve? {Riley bobs her head from side to side.}Riley Gordon: Welll...that could be the case...itâs really up to you. Sara Garcia: Up to me? Riley Gordon: Well, if the men can do it...so can the Diamonds. Weâre going to also have a FATAL FOUR WAY qualifying match. {Sara is clearly annoyed as she crosses her arms in disdain.}Riley Gordon: Youâll get your shot Sara. Itâll be you, taking on Rayne, Charity Crowne, and Vivienne Rodgers. {Sara starts flipping out.}Sara Garcia: This is so unfair! Iâve been on a winning streak. I beat former champions.

INVICTUS CHAMPIONSHIP
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Special Referee: Nighthawk
Chris Card vs Derek Brooks vs Jayson Matthews (C)
---------------------------------------------------------- Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is your main event of the evening, and is for the IWF INVICTUS CHAMPIONSHIP! Standing in the ring, the special guest referee...NIGHTHAWK! {The crowd pops as Nighthawk waves to the crowd before purple and white spotlights home in on the entrance area as the opening drum fill to "DC Sound Attack!" plays. As the harmonica and guitars start up, Chris Card walks the first few steps out from the curtain and pauses, soaking in the atmosphere and cracking an enigmatic smile. After a brief nod of acknowledgement to the crowd, Card walks purposefully down to the ring.}"The optics of it are not important,
The public don't give a damn,
I see you're in need of consultation now,
Everybody needs a sinister hand"{Card rolls under the bottom rope and stands in the center of the ring, basking in the crowd reaction before retreating to his corner to be checked over by the referee.}Terri Morasco: Chris Card has been doing things his way, and itâs nearly gained him the Invictus Championship on a few occasions. Vasco Dias: Nighthawk says heâll call it down the middle...weâll see. Terri Morasco: What do you mean weâll see? Heâs the most honorable man on the roster. Vasco Dias: Itâs always the âhonorableâ ones Terri...ALWAYS. Terri Morasco: I donât even know what that means. Alison Valance: And the second competitor⌠{The synthesized beginning of "Remember The Name" by Fort Minor begins to play as the crowd grows silent.}YOU READYYYY!? LET'S GO! {The beat breaks in and the strobe lights around the arena go with said beat as the crowd begins to amp up.}"This is ten percent luck..." {As the lyrics begin a single spotlight shines on the man known as "Greatness" before he glances over his shoulder, staring down at the ring. With a concentrated look he slowly turns and starts down to the ring.
He holds out his arms at the end of the walkway as his name echoes throughout the arena as the fans cheer him on. He climbs the stairs and walks along the apron to the corner where he ascends and looks out to the crowd before flinging his arm in the air much to their appease. He jumps down and steps through the ropes, walking to the center, bouncing around, light as a cat despite his large frame as he gazes out to the crowd before snapping around, climbing the corner and flinging his arm in the air again as the flashbulbs go off everywhere. He jumps down and continues bouncing from one foot to the other in a graceful manner as he waits for the match to begin.}Terri Morasco: Derek lost to tonightâs referee last week, but came back with a vengeance, taking James Gilmore out of action for the time being. Vasco Dias: And I can honestly say...thank you so much. Alison Valance: And now the third participant⌠{The drum fill kicks in the door and the guitar riff of 311âs Perfect Mistake starts blasting over the PA system.}âListen Up!â {The arena lights start changing from orange to black on the beat and Jayson Matthews comes bouncing from behind the curtain and head banging to the riff. His Invictus Championship firmly around his waist. He jams to the verse as he starts to walk down the ramp, slapping fives with as many fans as he can on either side.}This is the next stage, we turn the page We're gonna wreck a place when we take the stage Roll up your sleeves, get down with me It's going off in the pit like you wouldn't believe Allison Valance: Weighing in at 200 pounds, hailing from Detroit, Michigan. He is the IWF InVICTUS ChampionâŚâŚJAYSON MATTHEWS! {Jayson stands at the end of the ramp and stares into the ring and he starts to bounce up and down and hypes himself up and as soon as the chorus hits he dives into the ring forward rolls onto his feet and runs over to the side opposite the ramp and leans over the ring holding out his Championship. While the lights strobe orange and black.}âOhhhhhhhhhh See in it my eyes Hold it in my hands All those days that you wasted away There was no one to blame It's a perfect mistake {He hops up on the turnbuckle and holds out the Invictus title with one arm and points to the crowd with his other hand. Thanking the fans for the cheers and displaying the title to the fans.}Terri Morasco: Jayson Matthews has been champion for 140 days coming into tonight. A win tonight and retaining at Survival of the Fittest, will mean he will be the longest reigning Invictus Champion ever. Vasco Dias: Heâs gotta get there first. Tonight will be a huge test! Alison Valance: Introducing first, one of the challengers, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 220 pounds...he is âTechnical Perfectionâ...CHRIS...CAAAARD! {The camera aims at Card who prepares for the match, his eyes darting back between opponents.}Alison Valance: And in this corner, the other challenger, from New York City, weighing 265 pounds...he is THE MAN DESTINED FOR GREATNESS...DEREK...BROOKS! {Brooks hops from side to side, loosening up the limbs of his body.}Alison Valance: And now the champion! From Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 201 pounds...he is the reigning Invictus Champion...JAYSOOOOOOON MATTHEEEEEWS! {Jason holds the title overhead as the crowd give him a roaring ovation, putting a smile on his face before he hands the title over to Nighthawk who holds it high overhead signaling to all that it is indeed ON THE LINE!}Terri Morasco: This match has had plenty of hype. Last time things got out of hand, and now we have a referee in Nighthawk who is qualified to keep things in order. Vasco Dias: And we donât have that idiot James Gilmore around to water it down. {The bell rings and weâre underway at the KFC YUM Center!
The three men step to the center of the ring, each talking to the others, and itâs Chris Card taking the first shot at Derek with a swift elbow to the head that sends the big man stumbling. Jayson goes to grab Card but he is able to break free of his grip and tattoo Matthews with a couple shots across the head, pushing him back into the corner, a final shot stunning the champion as Card grabs hold of Matthews leg, throwing it over the middle rope and just bending it around the steel cable inside, Matthews clearly in pain.}Terri Morasco: Card seems to have taken advantage in this match, and that move, though it wonât get a submission, is perfectly legal in a Triple Threat Match. Vasco Dias: And Nighthawk can do nothing but watch...this is great. {Card continues to pull on Jaysonâs leg as he writhes in agony until Brooks comes in and spins Card around, striking him in the face with some right hands, rocking him into the rope before sending him across the ring, ducking for a Back Body Drop only to get squared up with a kick to the face. Card bounces off the ropes again, but he gets caught, lifted into the air, and dropped with a Samoan Drop!}Terri Morasco: Brooks seems to have Card off his game. Vasco Dias: And now heâs going for the first cover. {Brooks reaches over and hooks the leg but only gets a two count before Matthews lunges on top to save his championship.}Terri Morasco: It looks like Matthews is favoring the leg. Vasco Dias: He just had it wrapped around that rope for a good minute...youâd be favoring your leg too. {Jayson is first to his feet, though hobbled sees Derek still on top of Card and drops down sending both of his feet into Derekâs face causing him to tumble to the mat. Jayson then crawls on top of Card for the cover, but he only gets a one count before Card was able to get his shoulder up.}Terri Morasco: Seems like too much time elapsed and Card has recovered a bit. {Jayson gets to his feet and pulls Chris Card to his as well. He hits a variation of strikes that ends with a Spinning Backfist that causes Card to stumble into the ropes, upon return A HUGE CLOTHESLINE FROM CARD!}Terri Morasco: Jayson nearly got turned inside out. Vasco Dias: He might have lost his shoes if they werenât laced tight. {The three men lay on the mat, Card grabbing the ropes to pull himself up. Brooks to is getting to his feet and Card walks over, grabbing him and taking Brooks over with a snapmare, Card holds on to the head and transitions round, locking Brooks up in a crossface while his head is trapped in an Inverted Cravate}Terri Morasco: HANGMAN'S CLUTCH! Vasco Dias: Did Card just apply Nighthawk's finisher... with Nighthawk watching? Terri Morasco: Brooks doesn't look like he's ready to tap. Card is... Vasco Dias: Chris Card is smiling Terri. Chris Card: Did he give up? Nighthawk: No. {Card lets Brooks free of the hold, stands and backs off. He turns to Nighthawk and flippantly adds...}Chris Card: Not a great move, is it? {Card lets the distraction take effect though and itâs Matthews who is now getting to his feet, Card still mouthing off to Nighthawk. As he turns, Jayson ignores the pain and Springboards off the middle rope, twisting in mid-air and hitting Card with a Springboard Tornado DDT in the center of the ring...dropping him like a railroad spike into the mat!}Terri Morasco: A HUGE DDT by Matthews. Vasco Dias: That had to put pressure on the injured leg. Look heâs slow to the cover. {That he is as he crawls atop Card and hooks the leg, but he only gets a two count before Derek lunges into the picture!}Terri Morasco: Now itâs Derek with the save! Vasco Dias: And the match goes on. {Derek is slow to his feet as is Matthews, Card rolling to the ropes to get away from the action. Matthews hits Brooks with a right hand, and Brooks retaliates, putting all of his weight behind a punch that knocks Matthews down to a knee. Matthews springs up with a sort of leaping Uppercut that staggers Brooks. Matthews runs toward Brooks and locks him up in the âDawn of the Final Dayâ, but canât seem to get the leverage right on the bigger man who then starts wrenching at the knee of Matthews that was injured earlier. Matthews cries out in pain as Derek is able to reverse it and hits Matthews with a Russian Leg Sweep!}Vasco Dias: Injuries always come back to haunt you. Terri Morasco: Smart move by Derek, using the leverage on that knee to escape his demise. {Derek grabs hold of the dazed Matthews and lifts him into the air, planting him with a Spinebuster in the center of the ring, grabbing his legs and twisting them together, turning him over for his version of the Sharpshooter in the center of the ring. Nighthawk is in perfect position in case Matthews submits, but rather quickly, Card is up and hits Derek in the back of the head with THE CALLING CARD!}Terri Morasco: He kicked him right in the back of the head! Vasco Dias: Heâs gotta be out cold! {Derek falls forward and Card goes for the cover, but with a last minute lunge, Jayson breaks up the pin again! Card, though getting hit by Jaysonâs lunge, is still the fresher of the two, thanks to Brooksâ Sharpshooter. He gets to his feet and starts kicking at the champion who rolls toward the ropes. Card positions the champion and grabs hold of his legs through the ropes, pulling back in what looks like a Boston Crab! Matthews back is being arched over the bottom rope. Card drops one of his legs, pulling on the injured leg, the knee being bent and pulled over the middle rope. Nighthawk tries to say something but Card merely smiles at the referee who is basically powerless in this situation as Jayson screams in agony before Card finally breaks the hold. Jayson falls to the outside as Card turns his attention to Brooks who is still barely moving after the Calling Card.}Terri Morasco: Card is stalking Brooks here⌠Vasco Dias: Brooks is just now starting to move. {Brooks pulls himself up with the ropes and Card goes for another Calling Card but Derek ducks, pulling down the top rope and Card is straddled on the top rope. With a smile on his face, Derek shakes the rope up and down, causing Card pain in his lower extremities, before Derek finally yanks the rope back causing Card to fall into the ring. Derek is stalking Card now as Matthews starts grasping at the apron, pulling himself into the ring, unknown to Brooks who gets spun around by Matthews who hits him with the Codebreaker to the ribs.}Terri Morasco: RibKracker! Vasco Dias: Look! {Card stumbles in, grabbing Matthews by the shoulder, looking to hurl him into the corner, but at the last second Matthews is able to send Card shoulder first into the ring post! Card slowly falls to the floor as Matthews falls back on Brooks, hooking both legsâŚ
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
The bell rings as the crowd celebrates.}Alison Valance: Here is your winner...AND STILLLLLL IWF INVICTUS CHAMPION...JAYSOOOOON MATTHEEEEEWS! {Nighthawk helps his protege to his feet and hands him his title, raising his hand while helping him stabilize on the bad leg.}Terri Morasco: Matthews with a huge statement here tonight, defending his title against all comers. Vasco Dias: He did, but one has to wonder how much damage was done to his leg by Card, and will Card come gunning to that belt again seeing as how he wasnât the one involved in the decision? Terri Morasco: I guess weâll find out, but for now, Jayson Matthews IS STILL your Invictus Champion! |
