SEGMENT
Rob Diamond Wants YOU!

------------------------------------

{ A somber image of Rob Diamond appears on your screens, his head is down, hair disheveled. }

Rob Diamond: On this, the eve of the Present United States of America’s elections I have come to you with one very simple message.

{ Rob slowly looks up with a slight smirk. }

Rob Diamond: Make America Nude Again.

{ The banner begins to fly behind him. }

Rob Diamond: That has been my overall campaign message. Make America Nude Again. It’s simple yet it’s effective. We are born nude, our natural state is nude, most of us sleep nude. We are unashamed of our bodies. We have nude beaches. Nude communities. Yet what do all those things have in common?

{ A slight frown now as the banner continues to fly. }

Rob Diamond: They are secluded, walled in, kept private from society. Why? Why should we as Americans, the greatest country in any timeline be ashamed of our bodies? Why should we conform to the rules of tyrants like James Gilmore!? A man who is sho ashamed of his body he allegedly won’t even look at his penis when he goes to the bathroom! I’ve also heard reports from anonymous sources he’s never even seen another human being in the nude before! Allegedly, via anonymous sources he’s even gone as far as to write up legislation for fully clothed strips clubs!!

{ Rob’s energy continues to rise. }

Rob Diamond: That is the man we have running this country in the future. A murderer of both man and animal, a active and habitual under tipper, a man who is allegedly so ashamed of his naked body he showers fully clothed! Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Rob Diamond. I’m not ashamed of my body.

{ As the shot pulls back we see Rob is in fact completely nude. }

Rob Diamond: I’m not ashamed of your body.

{ We pull back even further to see Rob is actually standing in the middle of the Staples Arena surrounded by thousands of nude men and women of all races, colors and creeds. }

Rob Diamond: Together. We can…

{ Everyone yells with him. }

Rob Diamond: MAKE AMERICA NUDE AGAIN!!!

{ Genitalia flies as everyone begins jumping up and down and celebrating with Rob Diamond as the arena lights strobe and a techno remix of Real American plays apparently signaling a gigantic nude rave as we fade to black on the campaign slogan. }


------------------------------------

TAG TEAM MATCH
20 points to the winner
Pandora Freeman-Hall-Kane and Rowan MacDonnough vs Kate Steele and Christina Rose

------------------------------------

Alison Valance: the following tag match is scheduled for one fall!

Terri Morasco: This match as our opening match also has about 20 points on the line for the heiress to the throne match.

Vasco Dias: I don’t expect this match to last long.

Terri Morasco: You don’t think Kate and Christina can make this a long match?

Vasco Dias: Did you not hear the threats Rowan gave them?

Terri Morasco: Doesn’t mean they are just going to roll over.

{ Meganerd by YTcracker begins to blast all across the speakers as it does so Christina Rose makes her way from the back curtain with her fiancee Seleana Zdunich. Christina smiles as she flips off the crowd as she makes her way down to the ring. She quickly slides into the ring and kips up to her feet as she waves her hands in the air getting the crowd behind her. She jumps around a bit as she tosses her eye glasses to her fiancee. Seleana smiles as she catches them as she claps for her future wife.}

Alison Valance: Coming down first, standing at 5’5’’ and weighing at 115, representing the Best Friends Club, CHRISTINA ROSE!

Terri Morasco: Christina has been making some loud commitments to changing things around lately.

Vasco Dias: But what evidence has she given us that she is changing?

{ Monster by Paramore begins to blare all across the sound system and as it does Kate Steele along with her husband Todd Warren begins to emerge from the back curtain. Kate has a huge smile on her face as she flips off at the booing crowd. She begins to sprint down the aisle as she talks trash to the 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 as the crowd boos her louder.. She closes her eyes placing a single finger over her lips offering the Shhhh sound which all the fans just roar back.. She takes her place in the corner afterwards waiting for the match to begin.}

Alison Valance: Coming down next as her partner, standing at 5’2’’ and weighing at 110, The Siren, KATE STEELE!

Terri Morasco: Kate Steele has been quiet for a while now. It’s hard to know where her head is at.

Vasco Dias: Likely that she deserves nice things. I assume.

{The lights dim, Even as the Intro to the song helps to light up UV the intro strains of "Showdown" start to play and the words start to play as Pandora rises from under floor the entrance, head lowered hands behind her back. }

"It's been such a long time coming
I'd thought you'd understand
That's over, hate of the last
Will be joining in the sand
But it's simple you were wrong
You must have known that we didn't not belong
I know you thought I'd sold my soul
But you never told me to my face
I just had to let you go
And blow this shit away
Here we go again"

{As the song kicks in fully Pan seems to explode out bouncing down the ramp lit up like a christmas tree before mounting the apron with a full slide to side apron knee slide heat ends in her standing to vault over the top rope and bouncing to the beat smiling like a lunatic.}

Alison Valance: Coming down first for the other team, standing at 5’6’’ and weighing at 160, PANDORA FREEMAN-HALL-KANE!

Terri Morasco: Pandora was held prisoner by The Pack until Dean Harper was returned to them.

Vasco Dias: Sometimes you have to work with your enemy.

{Lights out. The opening chords of “Trip the Darkness” by the Lacuna Coil roar from the speakers, 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. As the chorus begins, enticing the listeners to follow, 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 spiraling pattern of red light appears on the mat, and her eyes scan the crowd, head moving in a jerky, animalistic pattern. She slowly, reluctantly backs towards a corner, eyes constantly moving as she settles in to wait for the bell.}

Alison Valance: Coming down last for the other team, standing at 5’10’’ and weighing at 145, the Wolf of the Abyss ROWAN MACDONNOUGH!

Terri Morasco: Rowan looks ready to crack some heads.

Vasco Dias: She has a hunger, she was clear about that.

{Kate is standing in the ring and tells Christina to get to the outside. Pandora and Rowan have a brief conversation with Pandora standing in the ring. The ref looks between the two women and signals for the bell.}

Terri Morasco: Pandora and Kate starting this match. It will be interesting to see how this goes.

Vasco Dias: Someone is going to die. I feel it.

{Pandora goes across the ring and hits Kate with a Hi-hats! Knocking Kate down. Christina leans over and tags herself into the match.}

Terri Morasco: Christina tags herself into the match.

Vasco Dias: That seems like a poor idea.

{Pandora walks back and offers her hand to Rowan.}

Vasco Dias: A very, very, very bad idea.

Terri Morasco: Rowan and Christina in the ring. I’m not sure this is going to go well.

{Christina looks at Rowan entering the ring and makes a move to tag herself out but Kate has rolled out of the ring.}

Vasco Dias: All alone in the ring with nowhere to hide.

{Rowan hits Christina with an EATER OF SOULS.}

Vasco Dias: We haven’t seen much of this move in a while!

Terri Morasco: She’s trying to submit Christina!

{Christina fights against the hold before tapping out in a panic.}

Terri Morasco: Christina tapped out!

Alison Valance: Winner by Submission ROWAN AND PANDORA!

Vasco Dias: Told you it was not going to last long.

{Rowan keeps the hold until Pandora crosses into the ring and makes Rowan release her. A remix of Pandora and Rowan’s themes play while Pandora makes sure Christina gets away from Rowan.}

Terri Morasco: Pandora saved Christina Rose?

Vasco Dias: She’s trying to be a good person. Getting in the way of Rowan seems like a poor idea.

{Rowan and Pandora stand face to face as the camera cuts to commercial.}

------------------------------------

SEGMENT
Andrew and Devlin discuss being on the same team for Extinction Event

------------------------------------

{AJ Is stood watching the shows going on clad in his usual attire and the -NEW- "unbreakable" Andrew Jacobsen shirt available now from IWF.com! When suddenly coming into shot and making AJ stand a little more on guard is one Devlin Raine}

AJ: Devlin... Dare I ask?

{Devlin smirks just a bit and slides a bit closer looking AJ Up and down before offering a 'bro-fist' into frame}

Dev: Extinction Event, The gems are all in the gauntlet, Fingers ready to snap, me and you on the same team, question is will this work? I know what I want. What I know what you want, think we can still kick it out of the park?

{Aj Looks at Dev' and the two fists meet solidly in the frame before Aj Gives a wry smile}

Aj: The greater good?

{Devlin frowns}

Dev: We are -not- using that. Also, I have a second question...?

{AJ raises a Brow as Delvin wrap an arm about Aj's shoulders and starts to walk away with him away from the camera.}

Dev: How do I get to add the master of a 1,000 holds to my list of nicknames?

------------------------------------

SINGLES MATCH
Vesna vs Gabriela Luna

{Gabriela Wins}

------------------------------------

SEGMENT
Bob Pooler has to come to terms with being on the same side as God for the Extinction event

------------------------------------
{Tiffany Jones stands smiling backstage in front of an IWF backdrop.}

Tiffany Jones: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m joined now by one of the participants in the upcoming IWF Extinction Event. It’s my pleasure to welcome the IWF Strong Style champion, Bob Pooler!

{The camera pans out to show Pooler framed in the picture looking serious, the title hung over his left shoulder and glinting in the overhead lights.}

Tiffany Jones: Bob, you’ve been in quite a few high profile matches in your long career but this is your first time participating in the Extinction Event isn’t it?

{Bob nods his head, adjusting the title before leaning down to the microphone}

Bob Pooler: Two-thousand and thirteen was the first time that the Survival of the Fittest first aired and showcased champions and challengers taking on one another in a match that had never been seen before. Since then, the Extinction Event has been a ‘put up, or shut up’ match. While I’ve been lucky enough to have been a multi-time champion in IWF, I’ve never managed to find myself included in this match before.

{Tiffany nods}

Tiffany Jones: Well, you’re going to be stepping into the ring with some very familiar faces.

{Bob chuckles and interrupts her question}

Bob Pooler: You’re probably wondering how excited I am to be sharing a ring with someone like God, eh? Well, I’m going to be completely honest - it’s not ideal. God and I go back a pretty long way, back to when he was just little ol’ Angel Blake, back before he’d found himself a damn host for … for whatever the hell is riding shotgun with him in there. Seems like that little hard-on he had for me years ago when I wised up and ditched the Age of X has only grown stronger ‘cause he’s sicked his dog on me.

Tiffany Jones: You’re referring to the Oracle?

{Pooler nods his head}

Bob Pooler: My public life is fair game; I’m used to being jumped backstage, or after matches … but this guy has been invading my personal life as well. That’s no good, Tiff. My life outside the ring is my own, and this guy has completely crossed the line … and all on the word of God. So when you stand there and ask me how I’m going to work alongside God; I don’t know. I … I just have to rely on people like Xavier Cross to help balance things out, ‘cause I don’t know if I’m going to be able to coexist with him by myself.

Tiffany Jones: Knowing that this is your first Extinction Event, what are you looking forward to the most?

{Bob smiles and taps the title on his shoulder}

Bob Pooler: What I’m looking forward to the most is walking out of that ring to the sound of, ‘AND STILL STRONG STYLE CHAMPION … BOB … POOLER!’

{With that he nods at Tiffany and exits from the frame as the camera zooms back in on a smiling Tiffany}

Tiffany Jones: There you have it, folks - back to you Terri and Vasco!

------------------------------------

SINGLES MATCH:
Warren Kane Vs Oracle

------------------------------------
{The lights go out as the crowd chanting fills the arena.}

"UNDEAD! UNDEAD! UNDEAD!"

{As the song kicks in the tron explodes to life with a quick pyro as red and white strobe lights begin to flash. Warren Kane comes to the front of the stage and brings his arms up infront of his chest before extending them outwards and upwards creating a reaction from the crowd. He then heads towards the ring, clicking his neck, wrists and elbows to prepare for his match before jumping up onto the apron, climbing the turnbuckle on the outside and raising his arms once more. The music dies down and the lights return to normal as he drops into the ring.}

Vasco Dias: The Pack and the Age of God go head to head next as Warren Kane takes on the Oracle!

Terri Morasco: Warren is fresh off a big return win and the Oracle has been stealthy racking them up. These two have some history, the warring factions, this is sure to be a brutal encounter.

{ The lights in arena go out as "Interdimensional Summit" by Dimmu Borgir blares through out the arena. A spot light shines down on the center of the stage as The Oracle slowly rises from within a fog. Once he has fully risen he steps forward and marches toward the ring to the beat of his music. Once at the ring he rolls in under the bottom rope and quickly rises in the center of the ring throwing his arms out in an homage to his Lord and Savior. }

Vasco Dias: Warren impressed last week, he’s going to want to keep that momentum going.

Terri Morasco: The question is can he overcome Blake’s personal attack god?

{ The referee calls for the bell and Warren comes right out of his corner with a running sling blade on Oracle! }

Vasco Dias: Kane with the opening shot!

Terri Morasco: The Oracle never saw it coming!

{ Kane is up and Oracle too. Kane hits the Oracle with several hard knife edge chops before throwing him into the corner of the ring. Kane runs in looking for a clothes line but the Oracle comes out and catches Kane with a nasty big boot! }

Vasco Dias: Beautiful big boot from Oracle!

Terri Morasco: Warren could have a concussion that was so hard.

{ Kane seems to be a little loopy as he gets up, Oracle doesn’t give him time to recover as he hits a big knee lift on Kane. Oracle then connects with a devastating Clothesline from Heaven that sends Kane head over heels and he falls on the back of his head and neck. }

Vasco Dias: The Oracle isn’t letting up!

Terri Morasco: You can’t give a Kane a chance to breath.

{ Oracle goes for the cover but Kane is able to get the shoulder up. Oracle pulls Warren up to his feet but Kane hits an enzugiri and then goes for a pele kick! Oracle stumbles backward. Warren shakes his head, trying to get his bearings. Kane connects with a dropkick that sends Oracle into the corner. }

Terri Morasco: Warren is digging deep!

Vasco Dias: Only thing that can keep a Kane down is death!

Terri Morasco: Too soon.

{ Warren pulls himself up as Oracle comes out of the corner. Warren hits a hard knife edge chop, then another and another and another. Warren connects with a leaping forearm shot to the side of the head and then takes the Oracle over with a snapmare. Warren hits the ropes and connects with a drop kick to the back of Oracle’s head and goes for the cover. Kick out at two! }

Terri Morasco: Warren is getting some momentum going again after that early shot to the head.

Vasco Dias: Warren has the speed and the experience to take down a bigger man.

{ Kane pulls the Oracle up to his feet but Oracle shoves him off. Warren steps forward but the Oracle charges him. Warren leap frogs the Oracle. Oracle hits the ropes and comes back at a turning Warren Kane and connects with a massive SPEAR! Oracle pulls Kane right up this feet and lifts him high over his head for a Last Ride Power Bomb! Oracle goes right into the cover but Warren kicks out at two! }

Vasco Dias: The Kane fire burns bright in this kid!

Terri Morasco: Oracle looks set to turn out that fire!

{ The Oracle peels Kane off the mat but Warren hits a toe kick to the midsection and follows it right up with an implant ddt! Warren pulls himself up to his feet, his head is definitely spinning. The referee checks on him but he pushes the referee way and goes right for Oracle. Warren looks for the Kidd Kick but the Oracle gets under it. Kane turns into a hard elbow shot to the side of the head! }

Vasco Dias: Bell rung!

{ Oracle quickly grabs Warren Kane with IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!!! Kane is down and the Oracle hooks both his legs for ONE! TWO! THREE!!!! }

Vasco Dias: The Oracle picks up a win here but that early boot to the head definitely played a roll.

Terri Morasco: Warren Kane is only just coming back to IWF, he’s got some ring rust that played a roll here tonight.

Vasco Dias: I would definitely love to see these two go at it again.

{ The Oracle drops his head as the referee raises his arm. Warren rolls to the outside looking visibly upset as he holds his head. }

------------------------------------

SEGMENT
"Just talk to me"

------------------------------------

{Dean Harper is sitting in the back in a locker room just breathing in meditation when the door opens.}

Dean Harper: Who is it?

God: The Lord God...

{ Dean's eyes open up as the Lord God stands before him, that ominous smile over that painted pale face. }

Dean Harper: Come to serenade me again?

God: I've come to explain how grievous an error in judgment you made.

Dean Harper: The Pack is my family.

God: And where were there when Cross bested you?

{ Dean sneers at the Lord God who towers over him at the moment. }

God: In your time of need, desperation, and confusion, where was your family?

Dean Harper: Where were you?

God: I'm always with you.

{ The Lord God reaches out for him but Dean stands and backs up. }

Dean Harper: Don't touch me. You're not my father, not like this, you don't have power over me. I make my own choices, that's how this whole deal-

{ Dean motions around himself. }

Dean Harper: Is supposed to work, right?

God: Indeed. You have your free will. But I would be remiss not to mention that you precious Rowan is destined to lose and all her followers will burn with her.

Dean Harper: You think you scare me?

{ Dean steps up to the Lord God. }

Dean Harper: I wonder, how bad would I have to hurt you to get you out of that body?

{ Dean shudders. }

Dean Harper: I get the chills just imagining it.

God: There is no power on this Earth that could free Blake.

Dean Harper: What about in hell?

{ Dean smirks as the smile on the face of the Lord God vanishes. }

God: Walk the path of violence at your own risk. This would not be the first time I had to smite one my petulant children.

Dean Harper: Really? You've had plenty of chances to smite me, oh Lord and yet here I am, still alive. Something tells me-

{ Dean buries his index finger in the chest of the Lord. }

Dean Harper: Something inside you won't let you hurt me. But me?

{ Dean smiles again. }

Dean Harper: I can't wait to hurt you.

{ The Lord God sneers as he backs up silently. }

God: As you wish.

Dean Harper: Oh I fucking do.

{ The Lord God turns his back on Dean Harper before exiting the locker room. In the darkness the voice of Rowan can be heard speaking to her most loyal. }

Rowan: Soon your wish will be reality and God will kneel before man...

Dean Harper: He'll do a hell of a lot more than kneel.

{ Dean says with a sinister grin as we slowly fade to black. }

------------------------------------

TAG TEAM MATCH
10 points to the winner
Fiona McFly and Alexis Caffery vs Jessica Reed and Helena Sawyer

------------------------------------

Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and garners the winning team ten points a piece in the Heiress to the Throne Tournament.

{ A video package begins playing to a rock-remix version of Rachel Platten's "Fight Song," showing a montage of Fiona McFly at various stages of her life... }

"Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion"

{ ...including home movie footage of the famous 1994 go-kart race in the Texas Hill Country. We see photos of Fiona from her high school and college graduation ceremonies... }

"And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?"

{ ...until we finally see an image of her standing next to the late Jack Gaither on their wedding day. The black-and-white photo fades down as... }

"This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me..."

{ ...a blast of pyro goes off as the song kicks into high gear. We see Fiona hopping onto the stage with a rugged smile on her face, looking around at the cheering crowd as she twirls a replica of her trusty bullwhip around and around. She strolls down the rampway, hugging and high-fiving folks along the way before handing the replica whip to a child as a souvenir. }

Alison Valance: And her partner…

{“Cult of Love” by Living Colour hits the sound system with a slow piano theme. The drums beat as "Cult of Personality" is mashed in just as Alexis skips out to the stage before looking all around with a smile, that look changing as she turns her attention to the ring. She cocks her head to the side, her eyes wandering all around before she starts skipping toward the ring.}

Alison Valance: Making her way to the ring...she is an IWF Hall of Famer! ALEXIS! CAFFREY!

{She skips around the ring in a circle getting back to the entrance ramp side she climbs up on the apron. Stepping into the ring under the middle rope she shuffles to the center of the ring, twirling around with a smile on her face, arms stretched before heading toward the side of the ring, jumping into a seated position on the middle rope, wrapping her arms over the top rope to stabilize herself while waiting for the match to begin.}

Alison Valance: And now their opponents…

{The lights dim, and a series of twinkling blue lights begin to shine at the mouth of the entrance ramp as the intro of “Blue” by The Birthday Massacre begins to play. As the crashing guitars kick in, the stage is bathed in flickering blue lights, and Helena Sawyer slowly walks out onto the stage, a lopsided grin on her face. She walks down the ramp, wearing a twisted smirk on her face. As she passes by the camera at the foot of the ramp, she snaps her jaws at the cameraman, giggling as she walks on and hops up onto the apron. Helena looks up at the ceiling, grinning ecstatically, and turns to face the crowd, hooking both arms on the top rope and throwing her body back with a piercing scream that turns into a giggle. She kicks herself backwards, flipping over the top rope, and back-rolls into a kneeling crouch, staring at the ramp for a few moments before standing and slinking to a corner. She looks up at the ceiling as the music fades, mouthing frantic words to herself as the lights come back up to normal.}

Alison Valance: And her partner…

{ The lights in the arena go out as "Die Young" by Ke$ha hits the PA system and the crowd go nuts. Strobe lighting begins to flash in various colours around the arena as Jessica Reed emerges from behind the curtain to a standing ovation. She smile and waves to the fans before steadying herself for a gentle sprint to the ring, slapping the hands of fans as she goes much to their delight. Reaching the ring steps she climbs up to the top of the turnbuckle and continues to wave the crowd, pumping them up even more before hopping down into the ring. }

Terri Morasco: This sure has the makings of a great match.

Vasco Dias: Strange combos, but it’s all about the Heiress to the Throne.

{The bell rings and the two teams square up with the starters of the match being Helena and Fiona.}

Terri Morasco: This should be good as recent Twitter interactions between the two have been hot.

Vasco Dias: Nothing with Fiona in it is hot...ever…

{The two lock up and it’s Helena taking Fiona to the mat with a headlock takedown, cinching in at headlock to start the match as Fiona struggles. Helena wrenches on the hold but Fiona doesn’t give up, soon getting to her feet before driving Helena into the ropes and shooting her to the opposite side of the ring. Helena returns, ducking a Clothesline from Fiona, bouncing off the other ropes, and leaping through the air with a high knee, taking Fiona down to the mat again. Helena covers but only gets a two as Fiona gets her shoulder off the mat, turning toward her corner where Alexis outstretches her arm, looking for a tag, but Helena is quick to pull her arm away, pulling her up, ringing her arm and placing a knee right into her gut before pulling her to her corner and tagging in the Hall of Famer Jessica Reed.}

Terri Morasco: Here comes the Hall of Famer!

{Jess enters the ring and grabs hold of that same arm, ringing it again before pulling Fiona in for a Single Arm DDT!}

Vasco Dias: Great ring work, taking out the right arm of Fiona.

Terri Morasco: This could come into play if Fiona tries one of her finishers.

{Fiona sits up holding her arm, and with no waste in motion, Jess shoots to the ropes and comes right back with a Shining Wizard to the face! She hooks the leg on a prompt cover, but again Fiona shows resilience and kicks out after two. Jess, seeing her opponent down, looks up at the top rope, walking over to the corner and climbing turnbuckle after turnbuckle to the top. She checks back behind her one more time, measuring the distance, then leaps off backwards, looking for a Moonsault FIONA GOT THE KNEES UP!

Jess crashes down and almost bounces off of Fiona’s knees, clutching at her midsection. Fiona turns to her stomach and starts crawling to her corner where Alexis has an outstretched hand. Meanwhile, Jess tags in Helena who hurries in, grabbing hold of Fiona’s leg before she can lunge for the tag. Fiona jumps up though and connects with Enziguri to the back of Helena’s head. She then looks up at her corner and lunges forward, tagging in Alexis!}

Terri Morasco: TAG!

{Alexis comes in and leaps through the air, nailing Helena with a lunging Clothesline, taking her down, not once, but a series of three times before then grabbing her by the head and turning her into a Neckbreaker! She looks over and sees Jessica getting to her feet and charges over with a Baseball slide, knocking Jess off the apron! She turns and sees Helena getting to her feet again and runs forward, leaping through the air, grabbing hold of Helena looking for the “Graceful Letdown” DDT but Helena holds her ground, pushes Alexis off and brings a knee up right into her face, crumbling the Hall of Famer to the mat.}

Vasco Dias: Talk about putting out the fire.

Terri Morasco: Alexis came in hot, but that sucked all of the momentum out of the room for her team.

{Helena falls on top for the cover.

ONE!

TWO!!

NOOO!

ALEXIS GETS THE SHOULDER UP!

Being near her corner, and seeing Alexis down, Helena walks over and tags in Jess who is back on the apron. The two walk over to Alexis, but before they can construe anything, FIONA FLIES IN AND NAILS BOTH WITH A CROSSBODY!

ALL FOUR ARE DOWN!}

Terri Morasco: This has been a highly contested state of affairs here tonight!

Vasco Dias: All of these women want those points.

{Fiona rolls out of the ring as does Helena, leaving Jess and Alexis who get up to their feet, stumbling around. They turn toward one another and stop. The crowd starts buzzing as these two Hall of Famers are eye to eye. They look from one side to the other, then at one another before locking up in the center of the ring. Jess goes underneath, grabbing hold of Alexis’ arm, trapping it behind her with a Hammerlock. Alexis goes under it though and executes the same hold, but then Jess is able to get out of it while maintaining grip on Alexis’ arm, leaping up to the top before jumping off, spinning through the air with a Twirling Arm Drag into the corner, popping up and smiling at Alexis who grips her arm in the corner.

Jess allows Alexis up who is shaking the feeling back into her arm. The two tie up again, and again, Jess gets the advantage, taking the back of Alexis, and quickly locking in a Sleeper Hold of sorts, but can’t seem to fully get it locked in as Alexis struggles, eventually placing a few elbows into the gut of Jess, stunning her before grabbing her by the head and running up the corner for her version of a Shiranui!}

Terri Morasco: IMAGINE THIS!

Vasco Dias: That was out of no-where!

{Alexis hooks the leg of Jess but only gets a two count before her Hall of Fame counterpart kicks out. Alexis seems frustrated as she pulls Jess back to her feet. Jess pushes Alexis off into the corner, where Fiona tags herself in. Alexis looks back, not too happy as Fiona jumps in the ring and charges toward Jess, grabbing her from behind, looking for her “Raise the Cup” Reverse DDT Finish! Before she can drop down though, Jess spins, hooking Fiona’s arm, quickly lifting her and dropping her on her head!}

Terri Morasco: LOLidrop!

Vasco Dias: Alexis is just watching…

{Jess hooks the leg, looking up at Alexis who doesn’t move, clearly still irritated from the tag in…

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

The bell rings as Alexis drops down from the apron.}

Alison Valance: Here are your winners, Jessica Reed and Helena Sawyer!

{The two celebrate in their own way, before leaving the ring as we head to commercial break.}


------------------------------------

SEGMENT
Vivienne and Jessica talk.

------------------------------------

{the camera comes on to backstage where Vivienne Rodgers is walking down the hallway to see Jessica Reed getting ready for her match.}

Vivienne Rodgers: Hi, Jess?

Jessica Reed: Yes? Oh, Hi Vivienne.

{Vivienne offers her hand to Jessica with a smile.}

Vivienne Rodgers: I really look forward to working with you during the Extinction Event. I’ve followed your career and I just wanted to say how impressed I am with everything you’ve done. It’s amazing and I am so happy to be on your team.

Jessica Reed: Thank you. I really appreciate that. I’ve been watching your career as well and I’m very much looking forward to working with you as well.

Vivienne Rodgers: Thank you. I honestly feel like this is a really exciting team we will--

{The lights flicker off and on before the lights come back on and the wall behind them says ‘ALL ARE PREY’.}

Jessica Reed: …More or less.

Vivienne Rodgers: Except for that one exception.

SINGLES MATCH
Amber Cooke vs Vivienne Rodgers

------------------------------------

Alison Valance: The following match is scheduled for one fall!

Terri Morasco: We have another heiress to the Throne match tonight.

Vasco Dias: One that promises to be impressive.

{The guitars of "War Eternal" start up and the arena is bathed in lights for a minute before Amber comes stalking as the first main riff kicks in, walking at an almost blasting pace, ignoring the crowd as she goes, sliding under the bottom rope to climb a turnbuckle and start jawing to the assembled masses before hopping off and jawing to everyone else and taking her Jacket and dog tags off to hang on a corner. Before spinning to face her opponent, or the entry way.}

Alison Valance: Standing at 5’6’’ and weighing in at 135 pounds… AMBER COOKE!

Terri Morasco: Amber is one of the BFc. She’s had a pretty good run since coming into IWF, hasn’t she?

Vasco Dias: Of course she has. Joining the BFC is an amazing and worthwhile venture.

{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. Vivienne herself does not appear until the lyrics begin in Earnest, walking on from backstage. 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. 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. She takes to the center of the ring as the chorus plays, raising her fists into the air before Vivienne settles into her corner.}

Alison Valance: Coming down to the ring, standing at 5’7’’ and weighing in at 140 pounds…. VIVIENNE RODGERS!

Terri Morasco: Vivienne qualified for the extinction event last week on October Revolution. Do you think she has what it takes to take out amber?

Vasco Dias: With the way Vesna made her fight for that victory? I worry she doesn’t. Which is good news for Amber.

{The two women stand in their corners as the ref checks with them before ringing the bell. Viv rushes across the ring and hits Amber with a powerbomb.}

Terri Morasco: A strong opening from Vivienne here.

Vasco Dias: A strong opening isn’t enough though. She has to carry this thru and I’m not sure she can.

{Viv tries to go for a second powerbomb but Amber elbows her in the head.}

Terri Morasco: A strong defense from Amber.

Vasco Dias: Yes! Hit her in the head again!

{Viv hits Amber with a Swinging Backbreaker followed by a German suplex bridged into a pin attempt

KICK OUT!}

Vasco Dias: Little overconfident in that move.

Terri Morasco: It’s possible Vivienne is hoping for a quick end.

{Viv hits Amber with a chokeslam followed by a Reflection taking amber down to the mat. Viv tries to go for the pin again

KICK OUT!}

Vasco Dias: Amber is not going down without a fight. Amber is the pipehitting badass of the Best Friends Club and she’s going to make an example of Vivienne. Vivienne has been running her mouth for too long and I can’t wait to see her pay for her words.

Terri Morasco: You can’t be serious? The Best Friends Club has been interrupting Viv’s chance at the World title for months. If anyone should be making an example of someone it should be the other way.

Vasco Dias: But Vivienne is too boring to really do that, isn’t she?

{Amber hits Viv with a Legit double leg Takedown and then goes for the arm bar causing Viv to struggle against the hold.}

Vasco Dias: And the balance has shifted!

Terri Morasco: Vivienne might still be able to get out of this.

{Viv manages to hook her foot over the bottom rope. The ref tells Amber to let go but Amber holds it an extra couple seconds before dropping it. Amber gets back to her feet and hits Viv with a DDT.}

Terri Morasco: That was a close one for Viv.

Vasco Dias: Don’t worry, Terri. Amber will seal the deal sooner or later.

{Viv struggles to her feet and Amber punches her back down to the mat.}

Vasco Dias: Knocked her on her ass!

Terri Morasco: Isn’t the ref going to call her on that?

{Amber walks around Viv’s form before smirking.}

Vasco Dias: I like the look of this.

Terri Morasco: Of course you do.

{With a shake of the head she starts hitting Viv with a Mudhole stomping before moving off for a moment.}

Terri Morasco: Viv needs to get her defense going here.

{Amber hits Viv with a Back Elbow following by a hair pulled mat slam.}

Terri Morasco: This is getting out of hand.

Vasco Dias: I’m enjoying myself, personally.

{Viv tries to get away from Amber but Amber punches her and picks her up by the hair.}

Terri Morasco: What is Amber planning?

Vasco Dias: I’m not sure but it’s going to be amazing.

{Amber grapples Viv and hits her with Belly-to back-Suplex.}

Vasco Dias: She hits like a truck. It’s beautiful.

Terri Morasco: I’ll agree she hits hard and doesn’t let up.

{Amber lifts Viv up on the ropes.}

Vasco Dias: Amber has the upper hand, she just has to keep things going.

{Amber hits Viv with an IED.}

Vasco Dias: Take her down, Amber.

Terri Morasco: that is brutal.

{ Amber hits Viv with a BOUNCING BETTY and goes for the pin

Thre-kick out!}

Terri Morasco: I can’t believe it!

Vasco Dias: damn it!

{Amber lets out a sound of frustration as she hits her with a Dynamic Entry.}

Vasco Dias: Amber has to be tired of Viv not giving up.

Terri Morasco: It’s one of the reasons that Viv held the Open Weight as long as she did.

{Amber hits her with a Backbreaker and then tosses her into the ring post clearly setting up for a finisher again.}

Terri Morasco: Can she make it stick this time?

{Amber hits Viv with another BOUNCING BETTY, staggering slightly before dropping down for the pin

3!!}

Terri Morasco: She did it!

Alison Valance: Winner…AMBER COOKE!

Vasco Dias: YES!

{Amber stands tall with her arm raised in the air breathing hard as her theme plays over the speakers.}

Terri Morasco: Amber just gained another 5 points for Heiress to the Throne. She has to be thrilled.

Vasco Dias: Of course she’s thrilled! Why wouldn’t she be?

SEGMENT
New World Champion Celebration

------------------------------------

{The crowd begins to grow restless, as we hear the familiar voices of Vasco Dias and Terri Morasco.}

Vasco Dias: “I can’t believe what we are about to witness…”

Terri Morasco: “Fourteen years in the making, what has been a roller coaster of a career.”

Vasco Dias: “Cutting through the curtain for a bit, I’ve been watching Cross for a long time, I was apart of the negotiations bringing him into IWF all those years ago. This has been a quest, where he has come up short many, many times…”

Terri Morasco: “But, at Revolution, Xavier Cross finally conquered the thorn in his side, finally defeating Dean Harper for the first time since they first locked horns, but more so, he is finally, a World Champion…”

{The sounds of DMX barking echo through the arena, as ‘X Gon’ Give it to Ya’ hits the loudspeakers and the place comes unglued.}

Terri Morasco: “Listen to this absolute ruckus reaction Xavier is getting from the Portugal crowd!”

Vasco Dias: “The imperial reign stretches wide! What a solid welcoming for the new world champ..”

{Xavier charges out from behind the curtain, his hand grasped firmly on the leather strap of the belt throwing his arm into the air. Just when you think the crowd couldn't get any louder, they do, as Xavier takes a step back. The biggest smile on his face as he holds his hand over his brow, blocking out the lights so he can take it all in, trying to memorize every face, memorize these feeling deep inside him. He throws the strap over his shoulder as he begins walking down the ramp, moving closer to the right side leaning into the crowd as the fans swarm the barricade putting their arms around him, hugging him, touching the belt, taking quick selfies with the new champ. Breaking away, Xavier takes his time, walking around the ring apron, holding his hand out trying to touch every hand that reaches out to him.}

Vasco Dias: “Look at him showing the love!”

Terri Morasco: “That’s part of the job, and Xavier seems to be taking every second of this moment in.”

Vasco Dias: “He better, in a few short weeks he’ll be entering the extinction event, which is one of the hardest challenges for a champion.”

Terri Morasco: “That’s tomorrow, let’s just enjoy today!”

{Xavier moves over to the time keepers area, as we clearly see Landon, Isabella, and James Cross, the three Cross children as Xavier leans giving them a hug, Bella is a bit reluctant, shying away from the camera as best as possible as she ducks behind Landon. Breaking away from the kids, Xavier blows them kisses as he looks towards the steps, as Cross races up the ring steps, wiping his feet on the apron. Throwing the belt over his other shoulder, he grabs onto the top rope before hopping over it. Stepping in the ring, he holds the title looking down at it, before raising it up to the crowd as they shower him in cheers. The music slowly fades, as he tosses the title over his shoulder again, making his way to the side of the ring taking a microphone.}

Xavier Cross: “Well…”

IWF Galaxy: “XAVIER CROSS! XAVIER CROSS! XAVIER CROSS!”

{Cross pauses for a moment, holding the microphone in his hand, biting his lips.}

Xavier Cross: “So I guess y’all heard? I got some new hardware…”

{A smile crosses his face, as he nods his head.}

IWF Galaxy: “Campeão! Campeão! Campeão!”

{Holding his hands up, Xavier quiets the crowd.}

Xavier Cross: “A few months ago I thought I would never step into this ring again, but I got cleared, and I trained my ass off. I made a promise to the locker room, and the IWF Galaxy. That I would steal the fire from the gods…”

{He holds up the World Title.}

Xavier Cross: “A few weeks ago, I defeated Roberto Verona and Red Cap-er...Devlin Raine? Which gave me my shot, I ain’t gonna shy away or lie about it. I’ve failed enough times that doubt creeped into my head. But I wasn’t going to lay down and die...Nope…”

{Smirking a bit, Cross looks at the title on his shoulder.}

Xavier Cross: “I walked into the Wolves Den and dealt the strongest blow to Rowan and her Pack. You’d think after the hell Dean Harper has put me through the last year, I wouldn’t be so friendly, but the simple fact is. I’m realizing you people, and many people in my life have given me second, third, fourth chances even, and I call me dumb as a door knob, but Dean Harper deserves his second chance...but Miss Rowan and God himself like to keep meddling. In fact, what should have been a precious moment for me, turned into a pissing contest...Oh well, because here I am baby, your NEW...World Champion…”

{Nodding his head, Xavier makes his way to the corner, climbing up and sitting down.}

Xavier Cross: “I’ve been out here grinding for years, thinking I was just a midcarder, set in the center of it all. But I’ve watched better men then me raise themselves to the highest levels, and for the longest time I was so envious… Not anymore, I did it, we did it...Fuck, y’all been behind me for so long, and I know I’ve turned on you, but your love was always there when I opened my eyes. I can’t thank everyone enough, everyone here, everyone at home…”

{Lower his head, Xavier wipes his eyes quickly.}

Xavier Cross: “You’ve been with me through every high and every low, from the beginning to now of my career. When I lost Cari, you were there...when I formed the Council, you were there...the only thing that leaves a sour taste in my mouth, is I finally win a world title, and the one person I want to fight the most...well he ain’t here. But he’s probably looking on wherever he’s at, making some smart ass comment, but I won’t ever forget winning this title, in Spike Kane’s memorial show. I won’t ever forget the legacy forged by the men who’ve held this title…So you know, everyone listening from Portugal to my home across the sea, to every man and woman in the back. I won’t kneel to any God, and I’ll be the one standing at the door when the Wolves growl. I am YOUR champion! ”

{Xavier hops off the turnbuckle…}

Xavier Cross: “I’ve gone back and forth on trying to figure out if I wanted to bring champagne, elephants, balloons, fireworks...but I think this is just enough, and I’ll leave it with this…”

{Making his way to the ropes, leaning on them he looks up at the curtain.}

Xavier Cross: “Here’s a message to God, to Andrew Jacobsen, to anyone else who wants to strive to take this title out of my hands...You want it, you better be ready to come get it…”

{He raises the belt up in the air once again, as he points at the curtain before dropping down, rolling out of the ring. He makes his way up the ramp a bit, before looking into the crowd shaking his head. Hopping over the barricade, Xavier makes his way through the crowd, celebrating the entire way.}

SINGLES MATCH
Dawn Halliwell vs Ciara O'Connor

------------------------------------

{As soon as the bell rings Dawn and Ciara go straight for each other. Dawn looks like she has the upper hand for a little bit but Charity Crowne distracts the ref long enough for Ciara to hit Dawn with a chair and then a SOD OFF, pinning Dawn.}
