OLYMPIANS MIXED TAG TEAM MATCH GROUP A FOURWAY
LAST CHANCE POINTS
Stephen Terrella and Brooklyn Maddrox vs Mariah Cutler and Jason Williams vs Dean Harper and Chelsea Skye vs Rob Diamond and Fiona McFly
-------------------------------------
{ 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 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 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 into a distorted image as the initial tune becomes slowed down, like a phonograph. Then... }
"ONE! TWO!!
ONE-TWO!!!
ONE-TWO-THREE-FOUR!!!!"
{ ...a blast of pyro goes off as the Halestorm song "Love Bites (So Do I) kicks into high gear. The crowd roars, but as the song plays the stage remains strangely vacant. A minute passes and Fiona is nowhere to be found. }
Terri Morasco: Where is Fiona?
Vasco Dias: Why are you asking me, Morasco?! Do I look like James Gilmore or Rob Diamond, or any of those other dweebs from the land of misfit toys? I'm not her keeper.
Terri Morasco: Wait, I'm being told we need to go to the back?... We're trying to get a camera back there now.... but there's something going on behind the curtains!
{ The camera cuts to the back where Brooklyn Madrox is on top of Fiona on the floor, pounding away on her with a series of hard punches! Rob Diamond and Stephen Terrella are brawling behind them, hitting each other with various items backstage! }
Terri Morasco: What in the hell!? Madrox and Terrella are assaulting Rob and Fiona in the back!
Vasco Dias: It's smart strategy, Morasco! If they take out Rob and Fiona before the match their odds of winning go up from twenty-five percent to thirty-three percent!
Terri Morasco: This isn't strategy, this is another blatant attempt to gain some type of underhanded advantage! Now here comes Harper and Skye!
{ The Nightmare Angel dives into the picture and spears Brooklyn off of McFly! Dean comes in and catches Rob off-guard with a Sling Blade, knocking Diamond to the ground. Terrella grabs a fire extinguisher off the wall, however, and strikes Dean in the back of the head as he's getting up. Fiona throws a roundhouse kick in Chelsea's direction, bringing her to the floor. Brooklyn grabs Fiona's whip and wraps it around her throat from behind, putting a foot into Fiona's back and drawing it tight to choke Fiona. Terrella picks Dean up and throws him hard into the wall as Portia stands safely away, rooting Terrella on. Terrella keeps hold of Dean, bouncing him off a wall on the opposite side. When the King goes to hoist Dean up for a Samoan Drop Rob Diamond comes charging in with a big boot! The boot rocks Terrella, and Dean falls off his shoulders. }
{ In that moment Jason Williams and Mariah Cutler come running in! Mariah chopblocks Brooklyn in the leg she had been standing on, freeing Fiona from the choke. Mariah and Skye form a temporary alliance, and start going to work on the two veteran females- Fiona and Brooklyn- with a vengeance. Jason Williams dishes out a European uppercut to Rob Diamond, knocking him onto a utility crate. Williams turns his attention for Dean, DDT'ing him onto the floor. Jason then zeroes in on Terrella, striking him repeatedly with a flurry of kicks to the legs before hitting him with an Enzuiguri! Rob Diamond pushes a wheeled utility trunk into Jason's back, though! }
{ The brawl continues on with a series of shifts in momentum for the teams for another three minutes before officials start to flood the area to try to move it toward the ring. Terrella starts hammering referees and backstage personnel, making a line straight for Dean Harper! Dean wades his way through the sea of security meanwhile, finally surprising Terrella with a jawbreaker! Harper pushes Terrella's head against the cinderblock wall and starts smashing it with forearms! }
{ Chelsea hits a flying clothesline on Brooklyn Madrox! Chelsea barely gets time to celebrate though when Mariah Cutler comes in and gives her Mariah's patented 'One for Flinching'! Then Fiona McFly grabs Cutler and Belly-to-back Suplexs her onto the floor!!! As Harper works away on Terrella, Rob Diamond strikes Harper in the face with his Fist Full of Democracy Spinning Back Fist! Rob goes for a crotch chop, but Jason Williams gives him a Russian Leg Sweep onto the floor! Enhancement wrestlers rush in to help the officials start to regain order! }
Vasco Dias: I don't know what Verona is paying Mr. Happy and Warren Suffering to get in the middle of this, but I know it isn't enough!
Terri Morasco: This is bedlam! If we're going to award any points tonight we need to get at least two people in the ring so we can have an actual match! Right now they seem to just want to kill each other!
Vasco Dias: That's what these high stakes matches will do!
{ Fiona grabs Brooklyn by the hair and starts dragging her through the curtain toward the ring. The crowd roars as they appear on the stage. The two women trade punches on the way to the ring, only occasionally pausing to kick each other, too. They make it to ringside when Chelsea Skye comes sprinting down the ramp like she was shot out of a rocket and flies onto both of them with a crossbody block! Mariah Cutler is storming after her. She blocks a punch attempt from Chelsea, and she takes Skye over with an Ipponseoi! Mariah enters the ring and yells for any of the women to, "Come on!" }
{ Tommy Knocker stands in the ring, almost unsure rather to count or just keep standing there with his hands in his pockets. In the back, the official's have started to gain some control of the men. Portia starts yelling at Jason Williams and Mr. Big, and Jason is ushering Mr. Big away. Terrella grabs a pipe, and as Jason turns into Mr. Big, Terrella brings the pipe across the side of Jason's bad knee. Jason crumples to the floor as many of the backstage personnel start yelling at Terrella and Mr. Big gives him a glare. }
{ Dean mocks Terrella, angering Terrella. Rob Diamond leaves Dean and Terrella to go back and forth, electing to head for the ring to join Fiona. As Rob parts the curtain, Chelsea wins the race between the three women on the floor to enter the ring. Tommy Knocker calls for the bell and the match is officially underway! }
Terri Morasco: We finally have some semblance of order to this chaos! Last chance for points here in group A of the Olympians Tournament, and we have a lot on the line as three teams are tied for first place!
Vasco Dias: Does Mariah have a partner, though? How does this work?! Are we just going to leave Harper and Terrella to do whatever in the back!? Does anyone realize what could happen if you leave those two in an area where there are weapons everywhere!? And if Rob gets tagged in, like what in the hell happens? Does he wrestle Tommy Knocker?!
Terri Morasco: Yes, no, maybe... I don't know?
Vasco Dias: That wasn't helpful, Morasco! All you did was get the Malcom In The Middle theme stuck in my head, so thanks for that!
{ Mariah takes Chelsea over with an arm drag. Both women are up quickly, and Chelsea ducks a clothesline attempt from Mariah. Skye connects with a superkick! Cutler goes down, and then Chelsea pulls her up and suplexes her! Chelsea covers, but she's only able to get a one count! Chelsea pulls Mariah up into a headlock. Mariah is able to muscle her up and over though, dropping her on her head. Mariah gives Chelsea a football kick to the arm. Cutler starts delivering repeated elbows to the shoulder of a sitting Skye, really targeting the arm. Mariah aggressively pulls Chelsea up, but Skye surprises her with a Hurricanrana! Cutler stumbles up and Skye catches her with a dropkick! Chelsea waits on Mariah to rise as some of the crowd pops for Chelsea, and then Skye rushes in with her version of the Sling Blade she calls- "For Justin"! Chelsea goes to the ropes once more, but Brooklyn blind tags herself in! }
{ Madrox immediately tries to steal a pin on Mariah, but Mariah kicks out at two! Brooklyn gets up, throwing some kicks to the back of Mariah. Madrox strides back, then comes in with a low dropkick to the seated Cutler. Brooklyn yells at the crowd as they boo her,and she pulls Cutler up by the hair. An Irish whip from Madrox send Cutler into the corner, and The Queen of Diamonds follows her in with a Handspring back elbow! Madrox flashes some unorthodox footwork as she strings together some jabs on Cutler. Brooklyn goes for 'Gravity Falls', but Cutler grabs the ropes to block and Madrox ends up striking her own head on the canvas! }
{ With no Jason to tag, Cutler dives for McFly! Fiona comes in charged up! Fiona scoop slams Brooklyn hard! Brooklyn winces, and McFly throws her with a deep arm drag as Madrox is getting up. Fiona sticks to her, snap suplexing Madrox now! Fiona goes for a cover but is only able to get a near two! Fiona remains focused and undeterred, transitioning quickly to the "Iron Claw" on Madrox! The crowd roars as Brooklyn tries to fight her off! It's Chelsea and Mariah simultaneously making the save though, unable to let Brooklyn be beaten if they're to secure victory for their own team! The two women then start to fight with each other, dumping themselves to the outside in the process! }
{ Rob Diamond strolls into the ring and leans on Tommy's shoulder, smiling at him as the poor official looks almost overwhelmed! }
Terri Morasco: The two rookies with a very veteran move there breaking up that pin! But I think Rob Diamond doesn't know what to do, so classic Rob, just chatting it up with Tommy!
Vasco Dias: Rob Diamond is a moron. If he's down there trying to explain how he gave birth we may need a replacement referee.
Terri Morasco: What in the--!!
Vasco Dias: Shit! Look out, Morasco!
{ The broadcasters scatter as Dean Harper's body goes flying through the video wall on the side of the stage from the backstage area! Terrella storms through the hole a bloody mess, Portia trailing him. }
Vasco Dias: It's like some Halloween horror movie! Dean Harper and Terrella are both soaked in blood!... and Harper's laughing about it!
Terri Morasco: I am not comfortable at this table at all. What have they done to each other!?
Vasco Dias: You may not want to know the answer to that question, Morasco. Harper's a maniac, and we all know Terrella isn't hard to set off. As long as we leave with all four limbs intact, just take it as a W.
{ Terrella puts his boot on Harper's head, driving the side of his face into the metal grating on the ramp. Terrella spots where they have the light tubes laid for the stage. The King grabs Harper by the waist of his jeans, dragging him toward the tubes. Dean takes hold of Terrella's leg, and then he starts biting him. Stephen grimaces in pain and releases his grip. Harper crawls over to the light tubes, laughing through the blood streaming down his face. He staggers up and waves to Brooklyn in the ring, then smashes the light tube over Terrella's head! }
{ Terrella drops to a knee, wiping the blood gushing from his head. He flips Harper the middle finger and then stands up. Stephen takes a tube from the case, and Harper stands firm in his spot, almost daring him... and the King obliges! He grabs a tube and brings it down over Harper's head, shattering it! Harper rolls around on the grating as Terrella reaches for another tube. Terrella can be heard saying, "Get up, motherfucker." Dean begins to grant Terrella's wish, but both are so focused on each other that they're almost oblivious to Rob Diamond coming up the ramp. }
{ The Blood Soaked Cinderella launches himself into Terrella with a flying knee to the back. Rob grabs Dean and delivers a release German Suplex on the stage! Rob spins on a dime and starts throwing fists at Terrella from different angles, beating Terrella down. Rob reaches into his boot and pulls out a pair of vice grips, holding them up for the crowd as they roar! Rob struggles to get Terrella's hand, but eventually locks the pliers down on Terrella's pinky and squeezes for all he's worth! Terrella yells in pain, eventually shoving Rob away, and Rob goes right into a bicycle knee from Dean. Harper takes Rob by the tights and throws him from the stage, sending him crashing into some crates below! Fiona goes running to check on Rob. }
Terri Morasco: We need some help out here for Rob Diamond! That was heinous!
Vasco Dias: I wouldn't look for any sort of I'm sorry card from Dean Harper.
{ Terrella flexes his finger out after having gotten the pliers off with Portia's assistance. Terrella makes a beeline for Harper, but Dean catches him on the way in with a spinning side kick, followed by a forearm smash, and then Dean grabs one of the broken tubes and gouges Terrella in the eye. Portia goes to involve herself, but Dean catches a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye. He turns for her, backing her down as Brooklyn comes racing up the ramp. }
Vasco Dias: This isn't good... Dean, come on, don't...
Terri Morasco: Brooklyn has come to help Portia, and as much as I dislike them, I'm not sure this is a great idea for either of these women...
{ Terrella raises himself up, seething. He produces a pair of brass knuckles from the pocket of his jeans, and with everything he has punches Dean straight in the kidney with his 'Body Shot'! The pain registers hard on Dean's face as his legs give out. He crawls toward Brooklyn as she balls up her fist and with one fierce swing she cracks him right across the jaw, sending spit flying out his mouth as he collapses on the grating! }
Vasco Dias: Did you hear the sound of that right hand, Morasco!? She just decked Dean Harper!
Terri Morasco: Brooklyn Madrox reached down and she found something deep inside her... and she unleashed it! I'm not sure if Harper even knows where he is now! But we've got more action in the ring as Chelsea Skye just hit 'Down from the Skye' on Mariah Cutler!
Vasco Dias: Tommy literally has his hands in his pockets now. If you weren't sure if the ref had given up yet or not... there's your sign.
{ Chelsea goes for the cover, but Fiona McFly dives into the ring to break it up! Fiona snatches up Chelsea, and she hits her with the "Hellcat", ending up on top of her with some heavy ground and pound! Brooklyn had been charging the ring, and just as Fiona sets herself to stand, Madrox drills her with 'Balor's Gaze'! Madrox covers Fiona now, but Mariah breaks up the pin with a stomp to the back of Brooklyn's head! As Madrox rolls off, Mariah latches onto her with the 'Kesa-Gatame'! }
{ Brooklyn struggles for the ropes, but Mariah has her turned so Cutler's body is between Brooklyn and freedom. Portia reaches in and starts pulling on Mariah's leg though, drawing boos from the crowd. Mariah stares daggers in Portia, but the interference results in Mariah relinquishing the hold. }
{ Mariah's inexperience has her losing focus. The Nightmare Angel takes advantage, dropping Cutler with a shining wizard! Chelsea Skye takes a deep breath and quickly races to the top turnbuckle. Some of the crowd cheers her, and some boo her for her association with Dean Harper as she steadies herself... and she takes flight!... Crashing down onto Mariah with 'Skyeâs the Limit'! Chelsea has a cover... One!... Two!!... Three!!! }
Terri Morasco: Chelsea Skye! Chelsea Skye has done it! It started as Skyeson, and on this night it ends with Chelsea Skye hitting a beautiful high-flying maneuver... and taking home the Last Chance points in the Olympians Tournament for herself and Dean Harper!
Vasco Dias: If Dean is even in any shape to compete after tonight. The girl seems to go through tag partners like lovers, but congrats to them, I guess.
{ Chelsea stands up as the official raises her arm and her music plays. She looks for Dean, who is still laying on the stage covered in blood. She rushes up the ramp to check on him as soon as the official releases her arm. }
Alison Valance: Your winners of the match by pinfall... Chelsea Skye and Dean Harper!

OLYMPIANS MIXED TAG TEAM MATCH GROUP B FOURWAY
LAST CHANCE POINTS
JC Keeton and Xiuhua "Dizzie" Zhou vs. Dawn Haliwell and Warren Kane vs. Caroline Machado and Nick Knight vs. Nick Danger and Ciara OâConnor
-------------------------------------
Summer Thompson: And here we have the second part of the tag team tournament.
Ella Kelley: It will be interesting to see how this one plays out.
{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.}
{The lights go out and the snow steady beat of New Divide by Linkin Park plays and the crowd gives a good cheer for Warren Kane as he emerges from behind the curtains wearing a simple leather jacket, with his hands at his hips and a smile on his face. He then heads towards the ring, stopping to touch hands with members of the crowd before stopping in front of the ring. Closes his eyes, takes a breath before jumping up onto the apron, climbing the turnbuckle on the outside and raising his arms in the air getting a positive reaction from the crowd. The music dies down and the lights return to normal as he drops into the ring.}
Summer Thompson: Dawn and Warren lost last week but this could be a time to turn things around!
Ella Kelley: Looking good enough to eat.
{The lights around the stage shift to several shades of blue as âCome For Meâ by New Years Day begins to be heard on the sound system. The crowd erupt into cheers as Xiuhua âDizzieâ Zhou makes her way out, all smiles as she gauges the fans and gives a nod of appreciation before making her way down to the ring. She hops up to the apron, wiping her feet and taking a second to bow her head on the top rope. In time with the music, she raises her head, showcasing that smirk of hers once again, hopping into the ring with ease right after. She then steps to the center, jokingly posing with an arrogant point to herself, tongue playfully out. Dizzie of course canât hold in the laugh and lets it loose before flipping the switch, looking all business as her music fades to silence.}
{The beat to "Born Legendary" by Emanuel Vo Williams hits.}
I crawled out the gutter
I rose to the top
My reign everlasting
I canât be stopped
I was made for the throne
Rise up til I moan
You been waiting on a ruler
Well Iâm home
{As soon as he says the word "Home" pyro explodes from the rampway as JC Keeton steps through the curtain. He makes his way to the ring bouncing in rhythm to the music. When he reaches the ring he leaps up onto the apron and steps through the ropes, He continues to sway and bounce from heel to heel as he awaits the match to start.}
Summer Thompson: JC and Dizzie look amazing here. Really ready to go.
Ella Kelley: But they continue to make things go forward?
{This Means War by Five Finger Death Punch hits the PA to a mixed reaction from the crowd. Nick Knight steps out onto the ramp and there is a very audible âKnight! Knight! Knight!â chant among the crowd. Nick makes his way toward the ring, runs up the steps and climbs ready in ready for a fight. }
"Her ongoing mission...to boldly go where no one has gone before..."
{ The voice of Sir Patrick Stewart echoes throughout the arena before Dua Lipa's "Levitating" begins to blare. A blast a pyro goes off as Caroline Machado heads out to the stage, dancing to the beat of the tune while sporting a brief, but warmhearted grin on her face. }
"(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I got you, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you, all night
Come on, dance with me
(I'm levitating)
You, moonlight, you're my starlight
I need you, all night
Come on, dance with me
(I'm levitating)"
{ The Brazilian shimmies and twirls down the ramp, often stopping to give some lucky fans a hug or two. Her motion is fluid as she makes her way down to the ring, again dancing to the beats. }
"You can fly away with me tonight
You can fly away with me tonight
Baby, let me take you for a ride
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(I'm levitating)
You can fly away with me tonight
You can fly away with me tonight
Baby, let me take you for a ride
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)..."
{ The lights fade out to a rotating green and yellow hue, with Caroline continuing to dance and pose for the cheering crowd. Eventually, the lights come back on as she gets into her MMA fighting position and waits for the match to start. }
Summer Thompson: Nick Knight and Caroline have been a great team.
Ella Kelley: Theyâve been okay.
{I Hate U by Boston Manor comes on the speaker and Nick Danger walks out to the entrance ramp wearing Red and White wrestling attire and his leather jacket says Savior. He stands on the entrance ramp hyping the whole crowd to chant his name and starts walking down the ramp while giving fans high fives. He walks up the steel steps and goes through the middle rope to stand near the center of the ring for a moment then takes off his leather jacket and then throws both of them to the crowd then stands at the corner turnbuckle ready for the match to start. }
{As the opening notes of âRun for your Lifeâ by K. Flay begins to play the lights dull around only showing the entrance ramp.}
âDon't count me out
Just 'cause I'm down
Boy, I've been down before
Fate has a way of playing games
And I've been keeping score
They tried to tell me I was lost in the forest
Like a cub with no mother when I actually was where I wanted
â
{Ciara OâConnor steps out onto the ramp with a self-satisfied smirk as she walks down to the ring, spinning once. She climbs onto the apron, sitting sideways with one leg behind her and one in front of her. She smiles at the crowd before leaning forward and grabbing her leg before rolling under the rope into the ring. She rolls to her knees with her arms spread as the lights go up in the arena.}
Summer Thompson: Think Nick and Ciara can actually work together?
Ella Kelley: Oh in no way shape or form.
{ The match is absolutely chaotic. Itâs hard to tell whose legal and who isnât. Everyone is doing their damnest to keep from being pinned and to pin someone else. JC pins Nick Danger

HOUR TWO
-------------------------------------
Summer Thompson: And here we are, still here.
Ella Kelley: I feel like now is a good time to say we look forward to seeing how that Tara Fenix Charity Cruise works out.
Summer Thompson: We are so going to get in trouble for that, Ella!
-------------------------------------
EXTINCTION EVENT QUALIFIER
Whichever team wins gets to be in the extinction event
Leo Hemmingway and Alek Bronson vs Wraith and Tytus Rost
-------------------------------------
Summer Thompson: And now to find out which of these two men are going to the extinction event!
Ella Kelley: I hope Itâs Wraith.
{The Drums of "Maybe I'm a Lion" hit the area as the lights glow a soft orange and Outsteps Leo wearing a high collaored rob wlaking towards the Ring wrist rolling as he walks sizing up the ring before he climb in and steps between the ropes to look around at teh crowd nd find a corner after taking off the robe to size up his opponent.}
Summer Thompson: Leo has made an impact since he got here.
Ella Kelley: It will be interesting to see if he can soar to the top.
{"Simple Man" starts strumming as Alek walks out to a shower of pyro. He stops right outside the gate and looks around. He walks to the pace of the song. He holds up his hand with the pinky and index fingers extended and the rest pinched in the middle while he stops in the middle of the ramp. Then proceeds to the apron as he jumps up to the ring edge. He steps over the ropes and enters. He takes off his aviators and his coat and hand them to the outside as he stretches.}
Summer Thompson: Hard to pick out what Alek is about.
Ella Kelley: Pretty sure itâs violence
{The crowd turns its attention toward the entrance area as the drumbeat of Even Horizon begins. âYou Are Black Holeâ whispers through the speakers, sending a shiver up the spine of the collective audience. From behind the curtain steps Tytus Rost, his face like carved granite as he stares with cold eyes down to the ring.
As he stands at the top of the entrance ramp, Berrick OâMurphy comes bouncing out behind him pointing and yelling, being the literal hype-man for the big Russian.}
Alison Valance: Making his way to the ring accompanied by Berrick OâMurphy, weighing three hundred and four pounds ⌠from Mikhailovka, Russia ⌠The Russian Lion ⌠Tytus ⌠Rost!
{Berrick stands in front of Tytus barking instructions at him all-the-while pointing down to the ring. Rostâs upper lip curls in a sneer as he begins to move with purpose down the ramp with OâMurphy in tow. Making it to the ring, Berrick quickly scales the ring steps and climbs into the ring as Tytus stands on the floor and then leaps up to the apron in a show of agility for a man his size. He wipes his boots on the outside of the ring before stepping in through the ropes and joining OâMurphy in the center of the ring.}
Summer Thompson: Tytus has been kinda silent lately.
Ella Kelley: Maybe his mouth piece needed a break?
{The lights throughout the arena go out row, by row, by row, until the arena is shrouded in absolute darkness. The lights come on and Wraith is standing in the center of the ring â in unison, the crowd letâs out a heavy gasp. He tilts his head back and forth, eyeing the crowd, while waiting for the match to begin.}
Summer Thompson: Wraith out here looking spooky as ever.
Ella Kelley: Mmm meow.
{Wraith looks like heâs going to enter the ring first but Tytus pushes him out of the way and enters himself. Leo goes to face him. The match is pretty intense with Leo keeping Tytus on his side of the ring, frequently tagging in and out with Alek before Leo pins Tytus for the

Summer Thompson: Wow.
Ella Kelley: Boo! Boo! Complete waste of Wraithâs talent!
-------------------------------------
SEGMENT
Joker in The Pack cashing in before or after Survival of the fittest?
-------------------------------------
{As the crowd cheers, the music abruptly cuts out, replaced with the sound of one man clapping over a microphone. The cameras pan to the stage to show Caleb Lockwood sauntering out onto the stage, Joker in the Pack briefcase in one hand and a mic in the other. He raises the mic with a callous smirk on his face, shaking his head.}
Caleb Lockwood: Congratulations, boys! Alek, Leo, you've done the mighty, you've qualified for the Extinction Event. That means you have a shot at being Television Champion. Hell, even World Champion! Imagine that, not even a month on the roster and you could be World Champion. All it would take is beating Ulf Hednir in the middle of that ring. Well...
{He chuckles, shaking his head, and taps the briefcase with his fingers.}
Caleb Lockwood: Allow me to make that prospect just a bit more...interesting.
{The crowd murmurs in confusion, and Caleb holds up a hand to try to shush them, keeping the microphone steady.}
Caleb Lockwood: See, I've been getting questions. Why didn't I cash in on Ulf Hednir after he won the title? Why haven't I cashed in after a title defense? I could have, I know I could have. But that wouldn't have satisfied me. I won my first World Title a year ago at Survival of the Fittest, in the match you just suffered to qualify for. I won it from a man I love. I won it by sticking a dagger in his heart. And now...now, I'm going to walk back into that same match with the same title around my waist.
Terri Morasco and Vasco Dias: WHAT?!
{The confusion erupts into excitement as Alek and Leo look back and forth at each other in confusion. Caleb smirks wide, nodding, and raises his voice to be heard over the din.}
Caleb Lockwood: THAT'S RIGHT! NEXT WEEK, YOU AND ME, HEDNIR! The Extinction Event closes the show? WE OPEN IT! You put that belt on the line, and you get the war you want! I get the satisfaction of looking you in the eye as I take it from you! Because that's all this is, a means to an end! I watched you, I learned what you do in your moments of desperation, and I know where your boundaries lie! Next week...next week, Ulf, you learn a valuable lesson: I have NO limits I will not sink to in order to take what I want. And then, I walk into the Extinction Event with that belt around my waist, and one of you gets put through the mat. Two matches! One night! Feast or famine! Survival! OF THE FITTEST!
{"Look At Me" blasts over the PA as Caleb walks back up the ramp, arms wide, smirking at the men in the ring, both of whom still seem taken aback by the whole sequence of events.}

SEGMENT 2
-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
EXTINCTION EVENT QUALIFIER
Cals Jacobsen vs Gretchen Winston vs Abigail
-------------------------------------
Summer Thompson: Now to see who else will be in the extinction event!
Ella Kelley: One of these lucky people.
{The opening of "Kerosene" by Miranda Lambert begins as the crowd gets on their feet and the lights dim down. When the vocals begin strobe lights begin to flash off and on making for an awesome effect. Pyro explodes from the stage as sparks begins to rain down from the top of the tron screen as out steps Gretchen Winston. Gretchen looks out at the crowd before popping up to her feet letting out a loud primal war scream. Gretchen begins her trek to the ring as people are cheering for both of them. Freya takes a walk around ringside before sliding into the ring. Once in she heads to the closest turnbuckle and goes to the top rope before throwing her arms out into the air as the lights come back to normal. She hops down and backs into said corner ready for her match to get underway.}
Summer Thompson: This is Gretchenâs first time out here. What do you think? Think she has what it takes to win?
Ella Kelley: Nope.
{The lights in the arena dim at the opening drums and guitar. Abigail walks alone out under a soft white spotlight to a mixed reaction. The lights flash sand yellow and soft orange in time with the rhythm. The lyrics of âHallelujah (Iâm Not Dead)â by Citizen Soldier accompany her walk down the ramp. She clenches her jaw before pausing in the middle of the ramp, and looking heavenward. She flings her arms out either side of her offering herself up to a Lord she knew to be no longer there.
When there was no salvation, she cracks her neck slightly and continues her journey down the ramp under her own power. She walked up the steps, not to heaven, but into the ring. Ready to defend her position in life, as fiercely as she once defended her faith. Under the spotlight, in the middle of the ring, she drops to her knees and lets out a rebellious yell heavenward as she throws her head back. She breathes heavily, as she focuses on the challenge ahead. The music slowly fades and the lights return to normal.}
Summer Thompson: Abigail has been on a little self care vacation time and she looks better than ever to take someone down.
Ella Kelley: Are we allowed to say that?
{The echoing guitar intro of "Tears Don't Fall" sounds through the arena before a howl of "LET'S GOOOOOO!" brings Cals Jacobsen running out onto the stage, shoulder-rolling forward and coming up kneeling with their hands in horns and their tongue out, grinning ear to ear. They pop up to their feet, nodding and grinning wickedly as they walk down the ramp, fistbumping and high-fiving with fans. Climbing the ring steps, Cals hangs off the ringpost, nodding along to the music, and steps through the ropes, pacing in a circle before running to the ropes and leaping up onto the second rope, throwing their hood back and bellowing out to the fans. Cals detaches their hood, unfolding it and tossing it into the crowd before running the ropes, clearly psyched for their match.}
Summer Thompson: Cals! The Nonbinary nightmare here to make a splash.
Ella Kelley: And honestly? Good for them.
{All three participants throw themselves into this match with reckless, furious abandon, the prospect of a chance at a title too tempting to pass up. They trade off pairings continuously through the match, a big strike or move providing an opening for another competitor to slide in. It only lasts nine minutes, but not a single moment of that nine-minute stretch feels anything but furious and frenetic. In the final moments, an Over Yonder attempt from Gretchen gets caught and swept into a Sharpshooter by Cals, but they only have the move on for a few moments before Abigail disrupts it with the Little Light O' Mine! Abigail spins up to her feet, but Gretchen stuns her with a quick uppercut before hitting the ropes and looking for the BLESS YOUR HEART! NO! ABIGAIL SPINS OUT, HOLDING GRETCHEN'S WRIST, AND PLANTS HER WITH THE REBEL YELL! ONE! TWO! THREE! Cals is half a heartbeat too late to break up the pin, but grudgingly applauds from their knees as Abigail's hand is raised in victory, sending her into the Extinction Event!}
Summer Thompson: Look at Abigail go!
Ella Kelley: Well, thatâs exciting.

SINGLES MATCH
Selena Gold vs Kate Steele
-------------------------------------
{We come back from a Survival of The Fittest commercial and find ourselves rejoining the tail end of Diamond Steeleâs entrance. Her music fades out as she circles the newcomer, Selena who was already in the ring.}
Terri Morasco: Here we go, we have an exciting match up featuring some new talent going up against the old guardâŚ
Vasco Dias: I think youâre overselling Diamond Steele vs Selena Gold personallyâŚ
{The lights flicker briefly as the two women go to lock up. The referee calls for the bell, and instead of ringing two or three times to signal the start of the contest, it continues to ring for a full ten chimes. On the tenth chime, the lights go out and a wolf howl is heard echoing throughout the arena. The ring is then bathed in a red light and we see Rowan MacDonnough standing in the ring, staring at both women with hungry yellow eyes.}
Terri Morasco: This is not good, whatâs Rowan doing out here?
Vasco Dias: Livening up an otherwise dull Diamond Steele match?
{Diamond Steele has been around long enough to know not to provoke The Wolf of The Abyss, and so backs off slowly to a corner. A petrified look on her face as she sinks into sitting on the mat. Rowan cocks her head at Steele, curiously, her eyes flashing with invitation. But Kate shakes her head slowly.
The newcomer Selena however shows no fear, hesitation or knowledge of the demon before her and so tries to lunge at Rowan, but The Wolf of the Abyss sees it coming and reacts with almost superhuman reflexes, taking her down to the mat with her Eater of Souls submission hold.
Selenaâs screams are muffled as the red lights begin to flicker erratically, before going out completely again. This time a chilling female laughter fills the air and the lights return as a deeply sombre purple and Rowan is joined in the ring by Eternity who has Diamond Steele locked in her signature Death Wish submission hold. Diamond is tapping out as the ring bell sounds wildly throwing the match out completely.
Both Rowan and Eternity look at each other, Gold and Diamond firmly in each womanâs firm grasp and nod in a seemingly show of mutual respect. The lights go out a third time and this time when they return, all have disappeared as if they were wiped from existence and the show is allowed to reach its natural conclusion without further interruption from Death or the Devil.
A statement seemingly made, in IWF you either survive or go extinct.
Nothing lasts forever, least of all Diamond or Gold.}

SINGLES MATCH
Johnny Somebody w/Nick Knight vs Abraxes
-------------------------------------
Summer Thompson: And now on to the main event of our evening!
Ella Kelley: It will be interesting to see how this goes.
{The match itself is shockingly competitive, with Johnny Somebody throwing himself into high-impact offense right out of the gate, keeping Abraxes off-balance with his unique combination of might and low center of gravity. The height of the initial run of offense is a pump kick by Johnny that staggers the much bigger man, followed by a roaring Alabama Slam that actually causes the sinister masked man to bounce off the mat with the sheer force of the impact! Abraxes, though, seems to revel in the unique circumstances, catching Johnny as he rebounds off the ropes with a huge turning clothesline that just about sends him spiraling head over heels.
Abraxes keeps Johnny mostly pinned down after that, using clubbing strikes and forearm shots to wear down Johnny and keep him from being able to explode back out into the offense that had bought him his first lease on life in this match. Johnny manages to buy himself a moment to breathe by countering an Abraxes charge with a drop toe hold, immediately rolling to the outside to recover, but Abraxes rolls out the adjacent side, landing on the floor in a crouch with his head tilted. A small chase ensues, with Abraxes feinting out Johnny and sliding in first, only to stop the smaller man with a boot to the head as he attempts to slide in. Abraxes rolls him onto the apron, dragging him up, and sets him up for the HUSH DDT! NO! Johnny counters out with a headbutt to the midsection, dipping his head and back body dropping Abraxes to the floor!
Johnny milks the count as Abraxes recovers his wind on the outside, sliding back in at eight, and immediately pounces on the big man, applying a sleeper hold and bearing down with all his might. Abraxes, though, is able to avoid having a rear naked choke locked in due to his own shape and Johnny's relatively short legs, standing up and hurling Johnny over with a snapmare-like move. As Johnny recoils upright, Abraxes follows through with a massive crossbody block that smashes him to the canvas, but only earns him a two count, Johnny refusing to die just yet.
However, it's clear that Johnny's been dazed by the blows he's suffered, and when he nails the battering ram headbutt that normally signals the setup for his finishing move, he's met coming off the ropes with a massive uranage by Abraxes that spikes him into the mat neck-first! Eyes unfocused, Johnny is easy prey for Abraxes, who peels him up and plants him with the CONSIGN TO DREAM, hooking his head and leg tight and leaning in to pin Johnny down for the ONE! TWO! THREE!}
Summer Thompson: Wow! That was close!
Ella Kelley: Abraxes scares the hell out of me.
