SINGLES MATCH
Jason Sandman vs Johnny Gillmen
----------------------------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: So for the opening match for this Open Fight Night is a bit of a grudge match.
Vasco Dias: Thatâs putting it mildly Terri. Jason Sandman recently returned and set his sights firmly on Gilmore.
Terri Morasco: This has been building for a while. Things like this are the reason we have Open Fight Night here. To help our superstars express themselves.
Vasco Dias: Iâm here to watch the violence and rage fueled beatings.
Alison Valance: The following match is set for one fall! Introducing firstâŚ
{Am I a Psycho comes on the speakers and as it begins Deal With It Bitch Productions Presents logo come on the Teletron.} Terri Morasco: I never get used to this.
Alison Valance: On his way to the ring, weighing in at 285, âThe Angel of Deathâ Jason Sandman!
Vasco Dias: I have missed hearing his name.
{When the opening words are heard the name of Jason Sandman shows up on the teletron. Jason Sandman comes out of the entranceway and as he raises his singapore cane and a steel chair wrapped in barbwire in the air pyro shoots off. Jason Sandman runs down to the ring, throwing the cane and chair over before sliding under the ropes.}Terri Morasco: He looks to mean serious business here.
Vasco Dias: He looks to mean serious business if my business you mean beating James to death in the ring with a live studio audienceâŚ.
{Charm City Devils' "Unstoppable" begins to play as jets of water shoot out from all directions. We then see James Gilmore stepping out onto the stage, haggard appearance and all, as he walks down to the ring without saying a word.}Alison Valance: Making his way to the ring; weighing in at 205, James Gilmore!
Terri Morasco: And here comes Gilmore. He looks⌠well?
Vasco Dias: He looks a mess, Terri. He is talking about playing in a blood sport cult thing on his off time, isnât he?
Terri Morasco: How many cults are there?
Vasco Dias: Who can say?
{Jason and James size each other up from opposite sides of the ring. James is pacing while Jason smirks.}Terri Morasco: I donât like the way Jason is looking at GilmoreâŚ
Vasco Dias: Itâs open fight night. I am hoping for some serious blood here.
{As soon as the bell rings the two men waste no time as they rush forward. James goes to grapple with his opponent, but Jason moves slightly out of the way. Before James can even has a moment to process, Jason hits him with a Spinebuster. James falls to the mat. Sandman jumping up to his feet first as Gilmore slowly stands up from the mat.}Terri Morasco: Strong opening from Sandman.
Vasco Dias: Heâs going to murder him Terri. Just watch.
{Sandman waits a moment before he rushes Gilmore with a GORE to the back, hitting him into the turnbuckle. James goes down hard. Jason drags him away from the ropes and goes for the pin.

KICK OUT!}Vasco Dias: You should have taken the easy way out, Gilmore!
Terri Morasco: Ouch.
{Jason glares at Gilmore and lifts him up for a German Suplex. Before Sandman can even get James fully covered for the pin he puts his leg on the rope. The Ref points it out to Sandman and makes him move back briefly.}Vasco Dias: That was a close one for Gilmore.
Terri Morasco: Lucky Gilmore got his leg up when he did.
{James flashes a smirk at Jason, gesturing for him to move back, and Sandmanâs eyes harden before he charges back in, cracking Steve in the face with a Daddyâs Dental Work!

KICKOUT! Gilmore shakes his head, trying to get his bearings.}Terri Morasco: Iâm concerned Gilmore is trying to get himself killedâŚ
Vasco Dias: There are easier ways to get this kind of thing done. Much easier ways.
{Gilmore runs at Sandman and hits him with a Reverse Blast}Terri Morasco: Say what you will about Gilmore but that was impressive!
Vasco Dias: He has to practice his legs for all that running he does from his responsibility outside of the ring.
{Gilmore goes for the pin

KICK OUT}Vasco Dias: Is the match changing gears? Is Gilmore going to make a comeback?
Terri Morasco: Who can say at this point?
{Gilmore backs off slightly bounces on his feet as he waits for Sandman to get back up. Sandman gets up glaring at Gilmore. As Sandman closes the distance Gilmore hits him with a dropkick.}Terri Morasco: Certainly seems to indicate that Gilmore is trying to gain control of the match.
Vasco Dias: I would still be worried Terri.
{Gilmore smiles to himself as he tries to pick Sandman up for a Samoan drop but Sandman wriggles out of his grip and drops to the mat. Gilmore tries to hit him with a spinning wheel kick but Sandman catches it and tosses Gilmore into the ropes causing the other man to bounce and hit the mat.}Terri Morasco: Oh no
Vasco Dias: I canât imagine this will go on much lonbg
{Sandman is pacing the ring as Gilmore bounces up. Sandman grabs him and slams his head into the turnbuckle until the Ref forces him to back off. Sandman backs off with his hands in the air. When Gilmore gets up Sandman hits him with a Gargoyle suplex. He goes for the cover.
1!
2!
THRâKICKOUT! Sandman glares down at Gimore.}Terri Morasco: Sandman has almost pinned Gilmore three times
Vasco Dias: Either Gilmore is much more a glutton for punishment than we all thought, or he is pushing his body farther than normal.
Terri Morasco: How much more can his body take?
Vasco Dias: Your guess is as good as mine.
{Sandman grabs Gilmore and puts him through a Delay overhead belly to Belly. He kicks him in the ribs a couple times.}Terri Morasco: Stay down, Gilmore.
Vasco Dias: For once? I agree with you.
{Gilmore stand shakily to his legs. Sandman grabs Gimore and puts him through a Death Awaits You slamming him onto the mat hard. He goes for the cover.}Terri Morasco: Stay down. Please stay down.
{The ref begins the count

3! Sandman rolls off, as âAm I a psycho? By Tech N9ne featuring Hopsin and B.O.B. plays over the PA.}Alison Valance: The WinnerâŚ. JASON SANDMAN!
Terri Morasco: Itâs done.
Vasco Dias: And thatâs the end of the opening match to tonightâs open fight nigh.
{Sandman shakes his head being heard to clearly say âPATHETIC!â just before the camera feed changes.}----------------------------------------------------------
SEGMENT
âNegotiationsâŚâ
----------------------------------------------------------
{The cameras cut backstage where a custom made white limousine playing SIAâs âIâm coming home!â enters the parking lot. The chauffeur exits the drives door and opens the passenger back door to reveal an obese Asian with a moustache exit the vehicle.}âLadies. Enjoy anything you want. My driver will take you to wherever you want to go! Enjoy the champagne!â{The backstage announcer is curious and goes over to this unknown male who looks happy to be approached.}âExcuse me Sir. Please forgive us butâŚ.Who are you?â{The male looks surprised but laughs it off.}âWho am I? Who am I?â{He laughs and shouts over to the woman in the car.}âHey ladies they donât know who I am!!! What a start!â{The women all laugh. He composes himself and gives an answer.}âForgive me. You asked a legitimate question. Ladies and gentlemen of the IWF universe. My name is MR SINGH. And I am the number one sports agent, contractor, negotiator and THE go to guy for pro wrestling and mixed martial arts in Asia and the Middle East. I am not here for a scouting mission. I am not here to admire the talent. I am here because very powerful families and men in Asia and the Middle East have requested my services to negotiate a new media contract for wrestling and mixed martial arts to be broadcasted over several platforms on itâs networks. IWF is one of the wrestling brands that has been successfully shortlisted to negotiate for such rights.â
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHâ
âAnd weâre not talking pennies here people. Weâre talking a potential 7-9 figure contract! One of the most, if not the most, lucrative contracts going around.â{The announcer appears speechless.}âNow please forgive me, it is not bad manners on my part. But myself and Mr Roberto Verona have much to discuss!â{Mr Singh exits the camera angle.}----------------------------------------------------------
STREET FIGHT
Fiona McFly vs Dawn Halliwell
----------------------------------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is a STREET FIGHT! There will be no disqualifications, but pinfalls and submissions MUST take place inside the ring. However, they cannot be broken by the ropes.
Vasco Dias: The daughter of Spike Kane in a street fight, Terri! Itâs like Christmas come early!
Terri Morasco: Indeed, Vasco. These two have gotten quite heated with one another in recent weeks, and with nothing holding either of them back this match is guaranteed to be one hell of a show of brutality.
Alison Valance: Introducing first â from Belfast, Northern Ireland, weighing in at 135 pounds⌠Fiona McFly!
{"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.}Vasco Dias: Fiona McFly looks ready to go tonight!
Terri Morasco: Can you blame her? With how personal Dawn has made this fight?
Vasco Dias: Oh come on, Terri. Dawnâs a bitch to everyone, itâs part of her psychology. If Fiona canât handle a little ribbingâŚ
Terri Morasco: Bullying, I think you mean.
Vasco Dias: Potato, tomato Terri.
Alison Valance: And her opponentâŚ
{Lights dim as the opening riffs to Shoot to Thrill hit, and flashes of white light begin to pulse along with the music as it picks up pace. The stage fills with dry ice as Dawn steps out from backstage, smiling manically and rocking out to the music. She points to the crowd and tries to get them pumped up. When the chorus hits, she raises her fists in the air as she lets out a shout of excitement punctuated by a blast of simple white pyro around her. She holds that pose until the second iteration of "Shoot to Thrill" in the chorus, at which point she charges into the ring and slides in, spinning with the momentum to her feet as she urges the crowd to get to their feet and rock along with her. After a few moments she will settle into her corner.}Alison Valance: From Salem, Massachusetts â weighing in at 125 pounds⌠The Iron Maiden, Dawn Halliwell!
Terri Morasco: The first time weâve seen Dawn Halliwell in the IWF ring since last year. She looks like she hasnât lost a step!
Vasco Dias: Reports are that sheâs improved significantly in the past few months. Maybe Dawn Halliwell could be a serious contender in the newly renamed IWF Womenâs Division?
Terri Morasco: Weâll see what she brings to bear tonight!
DING!
{Dawn charges Fiona as soon as the bell rings, briefly stunning her with a quick punch to the jaw before pulling her into a snap suplex! Not content to wait, she hauls Fiona to her feet and whips her to the ropes, then clasping her hands and hammering her forearms into the midsection of the Belfast Bombshell. Fiona doubles over, managing to stay on her feet, and is able to anticipate Dawnâs next flurry of attacks. Fiona manages to catch one of the fists, arm-dragging Dawn to the ground before moving warily away to catch her breath as Dawn rises with a grin.}Vasco Dias: A quick and savage start to what will surely prove to be a bloody affair.
Terri Morasco: Weâll see if Dawn can keep from overly riling Fionaâs temper!
{The two of them approach one another once again, this time locking up in a grapple that quickly takes both women to the ground. The two of them go through a chain of maneuvers in rapid succession as they try to gain the advantage over the other. Eventually, Fiona is able to capitalize on size and length of her limbs to pull off an advantage â something that sheâs not used to given her usually inferior size in comparison to most IWF opponents. She slips away from Dawnâs grasp, maneuvering quickly to line up the CHALLENGER from behind! Fiona goes for the quick cover!
ONE!
Dawn powers out of the pin, laughing sarcastically.}Terri Morasco: An early pin attempt from the Belfast Bombshell!
Vasco Dias: She didnât seriously expect that to work, did she?
Terri Morasco: Who can say, Terri?
{Dawn laughs as she rises to her feet, brushing off her shoulders with a mocking grin. She cracks her neck and once again locks up with Fiona, this time keeping the two women on their feet. This time Dawn capitalizes on Fionaâs inexperience against a smaller opponent, the difference in Dawnâs center of gravity keeping Fiona slightly off balance. The instinctive uncertainty of the best place to strike, the best way to brace yourself, proves Fionaâs undoing as Dawn slips through and hauls McFly into the RIDE THE LIGHTNING! Now Dawn goes for the cover!
ONE!
T- Fiona kicks out!}Terri Morasco: Dawn tries to pay Fiona back, but with no more success.
Vasco Dias: Technically I think Dawn got an extra tenth of a second out of it!
Terri Morasco: Okay, now youâre really reaching.
Vasco Dias: Itâs the age of Gods, Terri â I donât want to get on Spike Kaneâs bad side.
{Dawn growls angrily and rolls to the outside, going under the ring. Fiona quickly follows, and instead of searching under the ring quickly grabs one of the steel chairs near the announce tables! Dawn isnât quite able to react in time before Fiona begins to rain chair shots down on Halliwellâs back.}Terri Morasco: Surprising show of fury and force from Fiona McFly!
Vasco Dias: Sheâs always had a temper, Terri, and now weâre seeing what happens when she gets mad. Itâs a side of Fiona that we rarely see, but Dawnâs bringing it out of her!
{After being initially staggered and laid low by Fionaâs furious chair strikes, Dawn manages to power up to a standing position, and eventually catches an incoming chair shot! She wrenches it from Fionaâs grasp with a grunt of anger, breathing heavily still from the withering barrage. Fiona doesnât seem ready to let up, and tries to move forward to lock up with Dawn again⌠but Halliwell answers with a THUNDERSTRUCK! The crowd explodes at the use of one of Spike Kaneâs most famous moves by the Blood Godâs daughter!}Vasco Dias: THUNDERSTRUCK! If there was any doubt she really was Spike Kaneâs kid, I think itâs been banished now!
Terri Morasco: Shame she canât pin Fiona on the outsideâŚ
{Dawn takes advantage of Fionaâs insensate state by going over to the announce tables, swiftly clearing the Spanish announce table of equipment. She then returns to Fiona, who is only just starting to recover, and gives her a quick, savage thrust with the chair. Then she grabs Fiona by the hair and drags her over to the announce table and, after another swift shots from the chair to keep her from resisting, lays her out on top of it. Dawn then climbs up onto the other announce table, looks down at Vasco with a cheeky wink⌠before leaping into the RENEGADE, driving Fiona through the table and into a beaten heap on the floor!}Vasco Dias: ⌠She winked at me.
Terri Morasco: Dawn Halliwell showing her expertise in hardcore-style matches! Her ruthless aggression at ringside is turning the outside into her playground. What do you think, Vasco? ⌠Vasco?
Vasco Dias: She winked at me. Spike Kaneâs daughter winked at me. Heâs going to kill me, isnât he? Terri, DONâT LET SPIKE KANE KILL ME!!
{With Fiona temporarily dispatched, Dawn goes over to the ring and once again searches underneath. This time, however, she emerges with what she was looking for â a length of chain. Dawn smiles maniacally as she nods to the crowd, sliding back into the ring where she expertly spins the chain. Fiona rises from the collapsed heap of the Spanish announce table, shaking off the cobwebs before focusing on Dawn. She hauls herself to her feet and staggers to ringside, grabbing the steel chair on the way in. She rolls into the ring, quickly using the chair as a shield to block the first strike from the whipping steel length of chain before rushing forward. With all her might, Fiona McFly drives the edge of the chair right into Dawn Halliwellâs nose, sending flecks of blood flying from her face. However, Dawn doesnât take the hit without retaliation, and flicks the chain hard to crack heavily across Fionaâs jaw, sending blood dripping from the Belfast Bombshellâs mouth.}Terri Morasco: And the blood begins to flow, from both women!
Vasco Dias: NOW it feels like a Street Fight!
{As Dawn reels back, holding her possibly broken nose, Fiona spits out a glob of blood to the mat and moves in closer. She drives a knee into Dawnâs gut to double her over before grabbing Dawn by the sides of the head, locking in the IRON CLAW!}Terri Morasco: Iron Claw! A tribute to the late Jack Gaither who Dawn has been quick to mock, the Iron Claw was his favorite maneuver!
{Dawn screams in pain as Fiona drives her fingernails into the side of her skull, blood dripping from the sides of her head as she struggles against the hold. Eyes clenched shut in pain, she tries to break Fionaâs grip, but her arms arenât quite long enough to get a good grip on Fionaâs torso. Finally Dawnâs eyes snap open, burning with anger, as she swings the chain low â whipping it up into a brutal low blow that knocks the wind out of Fiona, sending her staggering back.} Terri Morasco: A vicious low strike with the chain! Thatâs⌠oh god, I might be walking with a limp just THINKING about thatâŚ
{Dawn cackles as she spins the chain, beckoning Fiona back with her free hand.}Dawn Halliwell: Try using the moves of a real wrestler next time, bitch!
Vasco Dias: Oh wow, shots FIRED from Dawn Halliwell as she continues to mock the late Jack Gaither. Thatâs gonna make Fiona angry for sureâŚ
{Sure enough, Fiona goes damn near berserk at Dawnâs words. She throws herself headlong at Halliwell, slamming into her with enough force to send the chain clattering to the mat as she drives Dawn into the corner. She hammers on Dawn with a quick series of quick and heavy strikes before lifting her legs up and over the bottom rope! The crowd revs up as they realize whatâs about to happen as Fiona steps back⌠then charges forward, driving her knee into Dawn with the CUNT PUNT!}Terri Morasco: âŚ. Oh my god it got worse.
{Fiona goes for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!!
THR â Dawn barely manages to get a shoulder up, punching Fiona in the face as she does so!}Vasco Dias: Is it as bad for women as it is for men, Terri?
Terri Morasco: Not from what Iâve seen, and technically other places hurt more⌠but that doesnât make a move like that a walk in the park.
{Dawn climbs to her feet, clutching her pelvis briefly in pain before shaking it off and slowly moving towards Fiona. The two of them exhaustedly lock up with another chain of grapples, though both women are showing the damage theyâve sustained through the match. Dawn seems to give ground, backing up towards the middle of the ring⌠but then Dawn moves with a sudden burst of speed, bending Fiona over backwards and hooking her arm around Fionaâs neck â then spiking her forwards into the LACRYMOSA, RIGHT ONTO THE STEEL CHAIR ON THE MAT! Dawn goes for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE â No! At the last microsecond Fiona manages to kick out, leaving Dawn astonished!}Vasco Dias: How the hell did Fiona McFly kick out of that!?!
Terri Morasco: Anger? Spite? Maybe sheâs capable of more than you give her credit for, Vasco.
{Dawn breathes heavily as she looks around the ring for more tools to try to put Fiona away, and her eyes fall again on her familiar weapon of choice, the steel chain nearby. Grabbing it, she hauls Fiona to her feet and whips her into the ropes. Before Fiona can fully respond, Dawn loops the chain around Fionaâs neck, then savagely kicks her in the gut to send her to the mat. Dawn then climbs up and over the top rope, taking the length of chain with her, still tied to Fiona. She pulls on the chain from the outside, eventually dangling from it with all of her weight, dragging Fiona up as the chain coils tight around her throat!}Dawn Halliwell: Tap out! Come on bitch, TAP THE FUCK OUT!
Terri Morasco: This is just sadistic! If she doesnât tap out to this she could choke to death!
Vasco Dias: What part of being the Daughter of the Blood God did you not quite understand, Terri?
{Fiona struggles against the chain, slowly turning deep red as she strangles. However, Fiona refuses to give in, and claws at the chain, trying to get a grip on it. After looping her fingers through, she slams her feet against the mat to force herself up, giving her a few brief seconds of slack as Dawn falls to the floor on the outside, still not releasing her grip. However, the slack is just enough for Fiona to pull the loop over her face, the metal leaving long, bloody scratches along her face as she forces herself free. Dawn stands on the outside, rushing into the ring to try to regain control of her opponent⌠but finds a facefull of her own chain as Fiona lashes out with the side that was just around her throat. Dawn reels away, clutching her face as the strike opens ragged cuts on her cheek!}Terri Morasco: Ouch! Giving Dawn a taste of her own medicine!
Vasco Dias: Well when it comes down to it, a chain is just a whip made of metalâŚ
{Dawn wipes the blood from her face and looks around, starting to look a little desperate as Fiona hauls herself up in the corner. It is clear that Dawn hadnât expected Fiona to last this long against so much, and her arsenal is beginning to dwindle. Her eyes fall upon the chair from earlier in the match, lying a few feet away from her. Dawn snatches it quickly, but instead of attacking Fiona with it she sets it up! Fiona turns just in time to see Dawn finish setting up the chair before charging into her with a shoulder tackle, stunning Fiona in the corner.}Vasco Dias: Setting up that chair with evil intentâŚ
{Dawn, even exhausted, pours more punishment into the cornered Fiona, kicking her repeatedly in the gut until her opponent is grounded in the corner. From there, Dawn turns her around before climbing to the second rope. Once there she turns and hauls Fiona up, holding her upside-down. She holds the position for a few seconds before stepping up and back⌠managing to reach the top rope with her hold on Fiona McFly intact!}Terri Morasco: ⌠Oh, no.
{Before Fiona can react, Dawn lets out a roar of exertion as she launches the two of them off the top rope and down⌠landing a TOP ROPE PILEDRIVER DIRECTLY THROUGH THE STEEL CHAIR! Fiona collapses in a spasming heap as Dawn rolls away, clutching her arms in pain!}Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Vasco Dias: Dios mĂo! Iâve never seen anything like that! Is Fiona McFly alive!?
Terri Morasco: This could be all over, Vasco⌠but look! Dawn isnât going for the cover! Sheâs rolling away!
{Indeed, Dawn doesnât go for the cover, even though Fiona remains motionless on the mat. Instead she looks almost frantically around the ring, looking at everyone there⌠before slowly grinning and nodding. The crowd revs up again as she raises one hand in the air, showing the horns⌠before drawing them across her neck. She shouts, and the crowd â knowing what this signals â shouts along with her:}Dawn and Crowd: LIVING DEAD GIIIIIIRL!
{Dawn drops down to the twitching Fiona, who is unable to resist as Dawn locks in her signature submission hold! The feeling of Dawn's legs around her throat wake her from her semi-conscious state, and Fiona immediately realizes how much trouble she's in, with the Living Dead Girl tightening like a vice on her neck, already injured from the chain noose Dawn put her through earlier. She strains against it for a few seconds, but is unable to break the hold. Finally, recognizing that there's no way out, she agonizingly taps against Dawn's shoulder! The ref calls for the bell!}Alison Valance: Here is your winner by submission⌠DAWN HALLIWELL!
{âShoot to Thrillâ by Halestorm plays over the PA, and Dawn releases the hold at last, grinning and victorious.}Terri Morasco: A truly brutal match turns into a triumphant return for Dawn Halliwell
Vasco Dias: Come on, Terri, she beat Fiona McFly, itâs not like she pinned the Womenâs Champion.
{Dawn stands over Fiona as the Belfast Bombshell struggles to her feet, gripping her throat in agony and coughing up blood. When she manages to rise to her feet â only able to do so by supporting herself on the ropes - Dawn holds out her hand⌠and after a few tense moments, Fiona goes to accept it. However, just before Fiona can take it, Dawn snatches her hand away and smooths her hair instead, walking past Fiona with a dismissive chuckle. Fionaâs anger is clear as she watches Dawn roll out under the bottom rope and up the ramp, grinning as she flips Fiona a pair of birds.}Terri Morasco: No newfound respect between these competitors.
Vasco Dias: Good. Not every match should end with the power of friendship. This is IWF, not My Little Pony. Weâll be back in a bit folks, while we clean up the mat and put the announce table back together.
{The camera lingers on Dawnâs smug grin before cutting to commercial.}----------------------------------------------------------
TAG TEAM WORLD CUP MATCH
Ryan Shane & Jayson Matthews vs TNT (Ted and Todd)
----------------------------------------------------------
{The tag match opens with Ryan Shane and Todd Williams in the ring. Ryan Shanes plays with Todd a little bit before he tags Jaymat into the ring. Jaymat continues Ryan's game of keeping Todd away from his partner. Teddy tries to rush the ring but Ryan enters the ring and tosses him out onto the floor and puts a foot on his chest. Jaymat uses the
Banana Split, causing Todd to tap out.
The bell rings but before Shane and Matthews can celebrateâŚ}----------------------------------------------------------

{All the lights in the arena die out and the fans in attendance start chanting his name.}"AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME!"
{Dramatic Pause.}"REGRETS I'VE HAD MINE!"
{The lights in the arena explode to life as they flash green and black to the beat as Steve Awesome comes running out with intensity to the hyped up chorus of "Full of Regrets" by Danko Jones.}Lonely nights/ and a whole lot of wasted time!
If you see her wont you tell her for me/
It's better this way to avoid all the misery
{The chorus plays again as Steve walks down to the ring. The guitar starts soloing and Steve hops into the ring and he provocatively slips off his jacket and then spins and drops into a kneel and he flexes his arms. He gets a slow motion effect as pyro sprays behind him.} Alison Valance: âIntroducing first, from Detroit, Michigan, and weighing in at 185 poundsâŚ. âThe Face of the Franchiseâ Steve Awesome!â
{As the ring announcer stands in the center of the ring the opening strains of "I Remember (Spartan X Intro)" by Tristam boom out over the arena's sound system, but Nighthawk does not appear. Instead IWF cameras quickly switch on to see Nighthawk, still in his ring jacket, brawling and fighting desperately with Spike Kane only to be blasted from behind with a chair shot by Angel Blake who then throws Nighthawk head first into a row of anvil cases. Dragging the unconscious "American Samurai" through the guardrail with the same lack of care you would for a bag of garbage the Age of Gods drop him on the ramp as Steve Awesome looks on in the ring, general amusement in his face. But before Spike and Angel can do any more Andrew Jacobsen runs out to stop them, flanked by IWF security who manages to pull the Age of Gods to the back as Andrew watches over his friend.}----------------------------------------------------------

SHIELDMAIDEN CHAMPIONSHIP
SINGLES MATCH
Charity Crowne vs Vivienne Rodgers (C)
----------------------------------------------------------
Terri Morasco: Next up and our main event is the Shield Maiden match.
Vasco Dias: Charity Crowne deserves to be the main event of every show she graces!
Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL for the Shield Maiden Title!
{âPOP POPâ}Alison Valance: On her way down to the ring first, weighing in at 130 pounds from Kensington, London, England, The Charity Jewel, Diamond in the Rough, Simply Flawless Charity Crowne!
{The clapping synth intro of "Popular" by The Veronicas plays over the PA, and Charity walks out onto the stage, rolling her eyes and striking a brief pose at the top of the ramp. She is followed by her Personal Assistant Marilyn dressed to the nines.}Vasco Dias: I have missed seeing Charity Crowne in the ring. Look at her! I mean, Look at her Terri.
Terri Morasco: Seems sheâs having someone following her down to the ring.
{She smirks, rolling her wrist, and struts down the ramp, dismissing fans if they reach over the barricade. Charity hooks the ring post with a hand, walking around to the side of the ring, and plants a hand on the ring apron, jumping and swinging herself under the bottom rope. She back-rolls to her feet in the middle of the ring, posing again, and casually walks to a corner. She wraps her hand around the top rope, casually yanking on it a few times as she waits and the music fades.}Vasco Dias: I donât know who that is but clearly sheâs there to make sure Vivienne Rodgers doesnât steal another victory that rightfully belongs to Charity.
Terri Morasco: Charity got distracted all on her own. Donât blame Vivienne for that.
{The opening trumpets to Confident by Demi Lovato begin to play as the lights in the ring drop, leaving gold and green spotlights on the stage and ramp. The lights in the arena pulse with similar colors as the bass kicks in.}Alison Valance: and finally on her way down to the ring, weighing in at 140 pounds from Madison, Wisconsin, and the current SHIELD MAIDEN champion Vivienne Rodgers!
{Vivienne herself does not appear until the lyrics begin in Earnest, walking on from backstage with Ciara alongside her who also appears to be dressed up this evening. Vivienne grins confidently as she raises a fist into the air on stage, holding the pose for a few seconds before stepping toward the ring, throwing a few punches and a kick as she begins to walk.}Terri Morasco: âŚWas there a memo about dressing up tonight? Both women walking down to the ring with their respective clients seem to have dressed up for the occasion?
Vasco Dias: Iâm not complaining.
Terri Morasco: Of course youâre not.
{She jumps up onto the apron, walking alongside the outer part of the ring before going in over the top rope, interacting with the crowd as she circles the inside of the ring. Ciara follows her in, circling opposite her and working to get the crowd psyched up for the match. She takes to the center of the ring as the chorus plays, raising her fists into the air before she and her manager share a high five before Vivienne settles into her corner as Ciara slips out to ringside.}Terri Morasco: But itâs odd donât you think?
Vasco Dias: Well this is Rodgerâs first defense and Charityâs chance to take the belt. Wouldnât you want to be in your nicest outfit when the Queen is crowned?
