SINGLES MATCH
Che v Birdie Winston
------------------------------------
{ We open from a short commercial break to find Birdie in the ring ready for her next contest, stretching on the ropes as she gets a few words from the official. }
Rayne: Birdie is a real talent, she has everything she needs to succeed, but will she get the job done tonight?
Iyo Kenshin: Itâll be tough test, but this is how you improve as a competitor.
{The lights in the arena dim as the opening instrumental of Tia Pâs âFortuneâ hits the PA system. The lights in the arena begin to strobe between silver and purple lighting. As the beginning lines of the song hit the PA system, the name of the incomparable âCHEââ is seen on the titantron. The fans in attendance give a decidedly mixed reaction as the âThe Bonafide Baddieâ, âThe Undeniable Momentâ Cheyenne makes her way from behind the curtain. A smirk comes over her beautiful face as she looks out amongst the fans in attendance. She places her hands onto her hips as she is joined by Sienna Sharpe who appears from behind the curtain. She lets her hands fall from her hips, as she begins to walk down the ramp. The smirk on her face never leaves, she makes her way down to the ring, taking her time to talk to those at ringside on her way. With the chorus of boos echoing, she makes her way down to the ringside area followed closely by her manager Sienna Sharp. As Cheyenne and her fellow Sirens continue their sultry saunter down to the ring, a voice-over can be heard in accompaniment with her theme song.
âLadies and gentlemen, please stand in recognition of the beauty that is in your presence! Being accompanied to the ring by âThe Sharpiest Mind in the Businessâ Sienna Sharpe. She hails from New Orleans, Louisiana; she is the âUndeniable Momentâ Cheyenne!â
Cheyenne makes her way onto the ring apron, standing with her back up against the ropes. As Sienna stands near the apron, Cheyenne places her right foot against the bottom rope. She rests her arms against the top rope, and flips into the ring, over the top rope, landing on her feet. She finds her way over to the ropes on the hard-camera side. Standing on the bottom rope, she extends her arms out as the fans in attendance rain down their disapproval. After a few moments, she jumps down from the rope, and awaits the start of the match-up.}
Rayne: CHE knows how to match an entrance, but will that panache transfer to the ring?
Iyo Kenshin: She has plenty of tools in her locker, can she get the best of Birdie?
{ CHE and Birdie begin to circle one another, sounding each other out before Birdie attempts to catch Che off guard with a rushed clothesline. CHE ducks, turning to strike Birdie on the back of the neck, sending her stumbling slightly. CHE tries to take the initiative with a bulldog which plants Birdie to the mat, securing her some momentum. CHE mounts her and begins to rain blows down until the official warns her, planting a final kick to rub salt in the wounds. She begins to taunt the crowd a little, gaining an instant reaction as she smiles satisfied with herself. }
Rayne: CHE is picking up the momentum early, but can she capitalise on that?
Iyo Kenshin: Birdie must find a way back into this before itâs too late, but CHE cannot leave openings like this.
{ CHE goes to pick Birdie up but her gloating backfires as she eats an elbow to the face. She tries to shake it off and go back in for the kill but Birdie manages to get another elbow in to send her staggering. Leaping up Birdie flies forward with a vicious clothesline which takes CHE down. Birdie leaps in the air and plants a elbow right into the chest of CHE who yelps in pain. Winston uses her momentum to leap up again, this time planting a leg across the throat of her opponent as she begins to pick up the pace. Lifting CHE up, she plants her with a suplex which gets the flashes of cameras igniting before rebounding off the ropes to plants CHE with a shoulder charge to prevent her regaining her feet. }
Iyo Kenshin: Birdie is taking charge here!
Rayne: CHE paid the price for her bragging.
{ Birdie looks to be on top here, leading her to climb the top rope to put this one away. She steadies herself for a moment but as she leap CHE manages to catch her with a brutal uppercut! Birdie hits the mat hard with a sickening thud and an audible gasp from the crowd as Che grabs her jaw and grins, leaning on the ropes to catch her breath. She seeâs Birdie trying to recover and senses her chance, racing forward as she leaps to try and catch her with a #1 StunnaâŚ. But Birdie manages to escape her grip just at the last second! CHE screams in pain as she lands on the mat empty handed, her problems compounded as Birdie rockets off the ropes to smash her face with a charging knee! Birdie goes for the pin⌠1âŚ..2âŚâŚ3! }
Iyo Kenshin: Wow! CHE went for the kill but it backfired on her!
Rayne: Fine margins can decide matches and Birdie was able to find a way to win here tonight, a solid performance.

TAG TEAM MATCH
3000 Word Limit per Team
Fairy Tales & Nightmares vs John & Beretta Blade
------------------------------------
{ With her father John Blade waiting in the ring, "Powerslam" plays and Beretta storms out to a calling of jeers. She knocks away some of the fans signs and drinks and food as she stomps to the ring with purposeful strides. Once inside the ring she does a finger pistol gesture and "bang bangs" the hard camera. }
Kyo Kenshin: This is gonna be an odd intergender contest as the father-daughter combination of John and Beretta Blade get set to face JC and Dean in tag team action.
Rayne: They don't stand a chance, trust me.
Iyo Kenshin: Let's see if the Striking Unit agrees with you. Ram and Nick Danger have joined us at ringside!
{ RAM and Nick Danger are seated inbetween Iyo and Rayne. The latter chuckles at Marshall's expense. }
Rayne: The Little Gilmores are here to observe? GreatâŚ
RAM: Seriously, you're doin' that shit again. It's people like YOU that make me want that number one Roulette draw really badly. Nothin' would make me more happy to win the damn thing just so I can piss you off...
Nick Danger: C'mon Ram, don't let her bother you. It's not worth itâŚ
Iyo Kenshin: Let's...let's just keep a sense of decorum in here.
{ The lights in the arena go out "Chosen One" by Valley of Wolves begins playing as a blinding spotlight is cast on the entryway.}
Now I've never been the one to play it safe
I might play a little dirty some day
And I'm following fate, they say I'm the chosen one
Well I know what it takes to be a king
Be the song everybody wanna sing
Bring harmony and be the chosen one
{As soon as the word ,as soon as the first verse ends pyro explodes from the rampway as JC Keeton steps into the spotlight. The lights come up and 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. }
Iyo Kenshin: Last year's Roulette winner, and it looks like he hasn't lost a beat since tagging with Dean Harper.
RAM: I ain't afraid of losing to someone like him -- or anyone else for that matter.
Rayne: So you're just content with merely showing up to collect a paycheck!?!
Nick Danger: Take it easy on him, okay?!
{The crowd grow silent as the lights go out, chanting in Bulgarian chanting can be heard as the beginning of Parasite eve as the chanting gets louder the stage area starts to fill with smoke. Suddenly, and abruptly as the drums and guitars kick in a pyro explodes around the stage.}
âI've got a fever, don't breathe on me
I'm a believer in nobody
Won't let me leave 'cause I've seen somethingâ
{Pyro explodes either side of the rampway as Dean Harper appears through the red tinted smoke. He stands with his arms outstretched, fists balled up soaking in the reaction from the crowd before walking down to the ring slowly. He jumps up onto the apron before springing on the bottom rope into the ring. Once in the center of the ring, he spreads his arms wide as he soaks in the red flashing lights before lifting his head sharply, kicking back the hood to show his face, nodding in rhythm to the music as he slowly breaks into a wicked grin. After a few moments he turns and settles into his corner, tossing his hood and jacket to ringside.}
Nick Danger: I'll admit, if I were John and Beretta?
RAM: I'd pray for a miracleâŚ
Iyo Kenshin: So you DO agree with Rayne then, Ram?
RAM: Yeah...I dunno about Nick, but I don't think the Blades stand a chance.
Nick Danger: But anything CAN happen!
Rayne: Only in your dreamsâŚ
[DING!]
{ It seems that Ram and Rayne were prophetic, because John and Beretta Blade were outgunned in this match by the wily Fairytale-Nightmare combination. To their credit, the Blades gave it all they could muster early on, each scoring a one-count on JC and Dean. But the two former World Champions were simply too much for their opponents to handle on this night. One highlight in particular shows that, at 6:30, JC manages to hit Beretta with a well-executed leaping bulldog after jumping off the second strand! He gets a two-count from Blue Shoes before tagging Dean into the match! }
Rayne: Here comes Dean, ready to finish the jobâŚ
Nick Danger: You have to respect these twoâŚ
RAM: We don't bullshit around eitherâŚ
{ Indeed, Dean goes to work on an inexperienced John Blade, shooting him into the corner beofre putting the boots to him! Eventually, the Hall of Famer decides that he's had enough playtime and finishes John Blade off with a perfect 540 kick combination dubbed DANCING THE SPIRAL! JC prevents Beretta Blade from stopping Blue Shoes from making the all-important ONE-TWO-THREE at just under ten minutes! }

Brooklyn Maddox, Stephen Terrella and The Black Widow vs Jennie Fenix, Wraith and Tara Fenix
------------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following six person contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first!...
{ The lights throughout the 02 Arena all go out, and the crowd is already buzzing in anticipation for the next competition⌠}
Hail, hail the black sheep
We are blood, we are family
{ The crowd roars at the opening of âBlack Sheepâ by Dorothy hitting the PA⌠The cameras take their time as the instrumentals of the song are playing, and going into the first verse, before the spotlight and the cameras focus on the curtains: the IWF Womenâs World Champion is the first to emerge from behind the curtains with the title around her waist, and a second title over her shoulder, as she crouch walks her way forward. She throws her arms into the air and points at a beanie on her head that has the Fenix symbol in the center; Tara is a couple steps behind her with a title around her own waist, and a matching beanie. The crowd continues going wild with the help of Jennie enticing them. }
Rayne: Can this family just go away?
Iyo Kenshin: We are missing one, but the crowd loves The Fenix Sisters as they have been dubbed! They are the Interstellar Gemini Champions, in case you are wondering what the titles are that they are carrying, and they will be set to defend them in a couple of weeks. But tonight, they need to be focused on a big hurdle in the form of the Black Widow, Stephen Terrella and Brooklyn Madrox.
Rayne: You're right. We are missing one.
{ Jennie and Tara stand a couple of feet apart at the top of the stage, and look toward each otherâŚthe light flickers several times, and then finally goes out completely â when the lights come back on, Wraith is standing in between mother and aunt, and alternates their own gaze between both of them. }
Rayne: There they are.
Iyo Kenshin: I do wonder how dangerous Wraith is going to be in this ring, because you have to keep in mind how protective they are of their mother and aunt! And now they are all in the same ring! This is history in the making, Rayne, for the first time EVER, we are going to see the Docherty trio battling on the same team.
Rayne: Youâre making me sick.
{ It looks like the trio are about to start marching down, but Jennie raises a finger up to protest their continuation so far⌠The family looks confused, but they are sharing some words amongst themselves, and Tara begins to nod; she reaches into her pocket, and pulls another beanie out! She holds it out for Wraith, and Wraith reluctantly takes it before putting it on to the adoration of the crowd. }
Iyo Kenshin: Unity, Rayne! Family unity!
Rayne: Say what you will, but they didnât look like they were on the same page last week.
{ Jennie pumps her fist into the air and jumps from the ramp, and starts rushing along the side of the crowd to high five as many of the fans as she can on her side⌠meanwhile, Tara and Wraith continue down the ramp and are sharing their own words amongst themselves, almost discussing strategy. Moreso, Tara strategizing and Wraith merely listening. They reach the bottom of the ramp, and Wraith leaps onto the ring apron whilst Tara goes for the steel stepsâŚin a fluid motion, Wraith perches on one of the turnbuckles and surveys the crowd. Tara, now on the ring apron, hooks both of her arms around the top rope and gazes out amongst the crowd. Back on the outside of the ring, Jennie gets a spring in her step and jumps onto the barricade and still entices the crowd to get louder! And they are happy to oblige! Jennie looks to the crowd further out, and then finally the ones close to herâŚa little girl in the front row is beckoning for her, and Jennie hops from the barricade, and shares a sentimental moment with the little girl. The father hands Jennie his phone, and she takes a selfie with their own family, but sheâs not done yet! She asks the father to wait one moment, and he nods. Jennie rushes into the ring with the phone in hand, and calls for everyone to come around; she holds the phone out for another selfie, and holds up her traditional âpeaceâ sign, while Tara and Wraith throw up the âdevil hornsâ... she takes another selfie with her family, and then looks over to Tara⌠Speaking again, almost inaudible, Jennie is heard when she raises her voice. }
Jennie Fenix: I donât have pockets!
{ Tara rolls her eyes and tosses another beanie to her; Jennie rushes back out of the ring, hands the phone first back to the father, and then places the beanie like a crown upon the head of the little girl. She hugs the little girl before finally returning to her own family inside of the ring, and the trio go to their corner while waiting for the arrival of their opponents. }
Alison Valance: And their opponentsâŚ
{ The camera takes a long shot of the entryway as and the arena darkens. Smoke begins to rise from the ground atop the stage, cast in a purple hue from the lighting directly overhead as 'Disorder' begins to blare across the speakers. The Black Widow comes crawling out from behind the curtain first. Following behind her is Stephen Terrella and Portia, holding hands. The Widow ceases her crawl on the cusp of the ramp, looking around the arena. Cvetkova stays on her knees, arms extended, and arches her back so her upper body falls backwards. Brandy thrusts her torso upward with a jolt. Behind her, Portia places her left hand on Terrella's right shoulder and runs her right hand down his chest and abdomen, stopping to rub the face of the Invictus Championship that sits around his waist. }
Alison Valance: First⌠About to make their way down the aisle, being accompanied by Portia⌠the team of the Black Widow, Brandy Cvetkova⌠and the Invictus Champion, Stephen Terrellllaaaa!
{ Cvetkova, Terrella and Portia walk to the bottom of the ramp. The Invictus Champion is already pointing up at the ring, shouting at the Fenix sisters and Wraith, who stand waiting in the ring. }
Iyo Kenshin: If hatred had a face, it may well resemble Stephen Terrella. He's been livid all week.
Rayne: Wouldn't you be if you were electrocuted, Iyo?!
Iyo Kenshin: Tara was obviously trying to win a wrestling match, and she may have taken it a step too far⌠but landing on the electrical box had to be an accident. She felt the effects of that, too.
{ Portia looks behind her. The lights in the arena fade to black as purple and white strobe lights begin to flitter about the crowd and a low misty fog envelopes the entranceway. The frantic strobe effect over the top of a drum beat stop as suddenly stops as they began. "IâM NOT AN OUTCASTâ blasts forth from the speakers of the arena and all spotlights turn to the top of the ramp to illuminate the figure standing there, eyes closed and head lowered.}
You think I'm evil
Say I'm obscene
Call me a misfit
I'm just unique
{ As the song continues, Brooklyn's head snaps upwards, smirking around at the audience as her shockingly blue eyes glint in the smoke and strobe lights. She takes a step forward, unconsciously cracking her neck from side to side, her eyes fixated on the ring in front of her.}
Alison Valance: Making her way to the ring, weighing in at 112 pounds Ms Can't Miss, BROOKLYYYYYYYN MAAAAAAADROOOOOOX!
You say I'm trouble
Call me a freak
It's not intentional
It's just me
{ Brooklyn looks up, her smirk turning into a snarling smile, tongue tracing along her upper teeth, before she begins her walk to the ring. Terrella and the Widow take the ring in front of Brooklyn. Madrox seems to glide up the ring steps before wiping her boots on the apron and stepping into the ring.
I'm just misunderstood
I'm just miss misunderstood
I'm just miss misunderstood
I'm just miss misunderstood
{ Brooklyn makes her way to the center of the ring, raising an arm high into the air before lowering it, finger pointed at her opponents as she refuses to break eye contact. Terrella stands by Brooklyn's side, staring a hole through the opposition while the Widow lingers in the background. }
Iyo Kenshin: We haven't seen Brooklyn Madrox inside an IWF ring in quite a long time, but she once again stands side-by-side with Stephen Terrella, whom she has teamed with multiple times in the past.
Rayne: She's one of the few people in this company that Terrella and Portia have formed a genuine friendship with, so it doesn't surprise me that she was the first call they made when Shelly Diamond stabbed them in the back.
Iyo Kenshin: That's a lot of revisionist history, Rayne, and it reads right off a page in the book of Stephen's opinions. Brooklyn has a tough assignment tonight, though. She will be thrust in the middle of what has become a heated rivalry between Tara and Cvetkova, as well as Wraith and Terrella.
{ Before the opening bell even rings, Terrella levels Tara from behind with a cheap-shot while her back is turned to discuss a little more last minute strategy with Wraith. Tara falls into Wraith, knocking the Monster off the apron. Jennie attempts to come to her sister's aid, but Madrox and Cvetkova are both all over Jennie with a two-on-one assault! Terrella shoves Tara into the corner to bury a series of shoulders into her midsection with such force that it drives her body in between the ropes. The Invictus Champion dishes out a hard left hand to the Queen of Queens as Madrox and Cvetkova put boots to Jennie behind them. Wraith reaches under the ropes, grabs Terrella by an ankle, and yanks, pulling Terrella down and to the floor. Wraith lays in a stiff kick on Stephen. Meanwhile, up in the ring, Tara adjusts her jaw before coming right at the Black Widow with a roundhouse kick to the head. With Cvetkova pulled off of her, Jennie Fenix is able to start to fight up from underneath on Brooklyn by throwing some closed fists into Brooklyn's stomach! }
Iyo Kenshin: Blue Shoes has his hands full trying to establish any sort of order in this contest, which has rapidly devolved into something resembling a Pub style brawl during an Arsenal versus Tottenham football match!
Rayne: Those teams you mentioned do not wear helmets, which means they don't play real football.
Iyo Kenshin: Rayne, you just may have garnered heat with the entirety of England.
{ On the outside, Terrella throws Wraith into the steel railing set-up along ringside. Stephen gives Brooklyn an assist by reaching in and dragging Jennie to the floor underneath the ropes. Terrella bounces Jennie's head off the apron. Wraith comes up on Terrella from behind, locking in a sleeper. Madrox goes out to the floor to give Terrella an assist this time, helping to loosen Wraith's grip by delivering some vicious elbow strikes to the small of Wraith's back. Jennie wipes Terrella out with a spinning wheel kick! Then Brandy Cvetkova knocks Tara Fenix over the top rope with a Cactus style clothesline, with both women spilling onto the concrete! }
Iyo Kenshin: All six competitors are outside of the ring! Blue Shoes hasn't even been able to call for the opening bell! These two teams are trying to tear each other apart!
Rayne: This is entertainment!
{ Madrox and Jennie pair off again on the outside, trading fists as they battle around the ring and a quarter of the way up the ramp. The younger Fenix sister unleashes a chop across Madrox's chest, but Brooklyn comes right back with a kick to Jennie's stomach, followed by a sitout facebuster on the ramp! }
Rayne: Iyo, I know you've never done anything remotely athletic in your life, but trust me when I tell you nothing feels good on that ramp!
Iyo Kenshin: I believe you, Rayne.
{ Terrella eyes Wraith bringing the Black Widow to her feet. He charges in, looking for a spear on Wraith, but at the exact same moment, Cvetkova pushes herself and Wraith back into the barricade. Terrella barrels right into Tara's midsection, cutting her nearly in half with the spear! }
Iyo Kenshin: I think Wraith was the target there, but Tara felt the force of that blow!
Rayne: She got folded up like a lawn chair!
{ Meanwhile, up the ramp a ways, Brooklyn Madrox is kicking at Jennie Fenix's leg- the very same leg Shelly Diamond heavily worked over last week. Down at ringside, Wraith and the Black Widow stand face-to-face, staring at each other for a moment. Wraith looks past the Widow, noticing Tara laying on the floor in pain after the spear, with Terrella on top choking her. Wraith moves Brandy aside, going right after Terrella. Wraith grabs a television cable and wraps it around Terrella's throat from behind! They pull back on the cable while simultaneously burying a knee in Terrella's spine! }
Rayne: He's choking Terrella blue with that television cable!
Iyo Kenshin: Cvetkova is trying to pull Wraith off of Terrella, and here comes Blue Shoes out to help! Blue Shoes can't disqualify anyone though because we haven't been able to get the opening bell rang!
Rayne: The Widow needs to get a steel chair and hit Wraith in the back! She's not going to be able to pull him off!
{ Blue Shoes looks around the arena, seeing Madrox hit Jennie Fenix with Balor's Gaze on the stage, the scene with Wraith unfolding in front of him; and he finally calls for the bell, waving the match off and motioning for security. }
Iyo Kenshin: Blue Shoes just made the only decision he could! We need help down here!
{ Madrox takes out the first security guard that tries to restrain her with a kick that floors him. The second security guard gets planted with 'Big Bad Wolf'! Jennie wants more of Brooklyn, and takes out a security guard herself with "JINXED!" to try to get to her! }
Rayne: They better send the Royal army!
{ Portia rips at Wraith's eyes with her long fingernails, trying to get him to relinquish the choke. He keeps pulling as she keeps digging through. Eventually Tara recovers enough to tackle the Black Widow and start battering her with left hands. Brooklyn takes yet another security guard down in a Cross arm breaker and starts delivering strikes to his torso and head. Security continues to fall when Jennie hits another one with "Out of Wishes!" A sea of security races past the two women to try and separate Wraith and Terrella, as well as the Black Widow and Tara. Mr. Pig, Mr. Wig, Mr. Happy and Warren Suffering are sent out from the enhancement talent dressing room to aid security. Eventually Wraith is pulled off of Terrella, but the Monster delivers âThe Howlingâ to Warren Suffering on the floor! Tara hits the "Genocide Kick" on Mr. Pig! Brandy locks Mr. Wig in "The Widow's Web"! Tara tries to push past a wall of security again to get to the Black Widow! Terrella picks one of the security guards up and tries to throw him at Wraith, but just ends up wiping out two more security guards. More and more body's are sent out from the back until the two parties are eventually separated. Cvetkova, Madrox, Terrella and Portia are herded to the side of the ramp. The Docherty family is forced over by the announcer's table. }
Iyo Kenshin: This night has gotten completely out of hand in London!
Rayne: That may be the understatement of the year so far, Iyo! They're still yelling and trying to get at each other!
Iyo Kenshin: What is⌠Jennie Fenix is climbing on top of our table⌠⌠she's telling Madrox that she wants more! These fans are solidly behind the Docherty clan!
Rayne: Terrella just flipped the entire Docherty family the bird! I love it! And there goes Madrox again trying to push through what must be fifty security guards!
Iyo Kenshin: We know Tara and Cvetkova are already slated to do battle in a first blood match at High Stakes⌠and they may be the two most composed people out here! We need to take a short break to get these teams back to the locker room, but we'll be right back!

BEST OF FIVE SERIES
MATCH THREE
EXTREME RULES MATCH
1500 Word RP Limit
Nick Knight vs Angel Blake
------------------------------------
{ We come back from the break to the commentators booth. }
Iyo Kenshin: Welcome back to Odyssey! Next up weâve got match three in out best of seven series for the IWF Menâs World Championship!
Rayne: That match that kicked this whole thing off was brutal and match one was a great follow up. Last week we saw Nick take advantage of the situation and tie things up but tonight? Tonight promises to be beyond what weâve seen so far!
Iyo Kenshin: Thatâs right! Match three will be Extreme Rules!
Rayne: And it starts right now!
Welcome to the Circus by Five Finger Death Punch
{ Slowed down carousel music begins to play and is soon joined by unhinged laughing. Driving guitars join the fray and as the voice of Ivan Moody growls "Welcome to the Circus" Nick Knight bursts through the curtain and begins stomping toward the ring but as he does ANGEL COMES RUNNING OUT FROM THE BACK AND CRACKS NICK FROM BEHIND WITH DIVINE JUSTICE!!! }
Iyo Kenshin: Angel with a sneak attack!
Rayne: Heâs getting revenge for last week!
Iyo Kenshin: But he needs to keep in mind this match hasnât started until they both enter the ring!
Rayne: I donât think either men will care!
{ Nick falls forward and rolls the rest of the way down the ramp. Angel is on Nick before he has a chance to stand and starts to kick and stomp away at the downed challenger. Angel turns to throw up his arms to elicit a reaction from the fans and screams âARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!â The crowd screams back in the affirmative! }
Rayne: Angel getting the support from the crowd!
Iyo Kenshin: These fans love their violence!
{ Angel pulls Nick up off the padded mat and hurls him as hard as he can into the steel steps. Nick bounces off shoulder first but shockingly gets right up to his feet and clubs Angel with a King Kong clothesline! }
Rayne: DAMN! Did Nick just bounce off those stairs like a rubber ball!?
Iyo Kenshin: It certainly looks like it!
{ Nick turns back to the steel steps and flips them onto their side giving it a bigger surface area to hit. Nick pulls Angel up onto his feet and spins the champion around so Nick can German suplex Angel back first in to the points of the steps! }
Rayne: I thought Nick was going to dump Angel onto the top of the steps but he wanted to check Angel into the points!
Iyo Kenshin: That was brutal!
{ Nick kicks the steps out of the way so he can pull Angel up to his feet again. Nick runs Angel all the way down the length of the ring and throws the champion back first into the crowd barrier! Angel busts through the crowd barrier into the audience. Nick grabs the freed length of barrier and rips it the rest of the way free. }
Rayne: Nick has some evil intentions here!
{ Nick lays the barrier on the apron across to another barrier like a bridge. Nick pulls Angel up to his feet and goes to whip Blake into the post but Angel reverses it and sends Knight into the post! Angel follows the post shot up with a Divine Justice, crushing Nickâs head into the post again! Angel rolls Knight onto the apron now and lifts him to his feet as the crowd is screaming for blood. }
Iyo Kenshin: Angel turned things around and now heâs about to use that bridge Nick set up!
{ Angel picks Nick up into the Last Gasp pulling pile driver right onto the barrier bridge! Both men crash straight through it as Blue Shoes scrambles to the outside to see if there is anyway he can get this thing into the ring! }
Iyo Kenshin: I have no words. Knight may be seriously injured.
Rayne: Both men are going to have some life long injuries when this best of five is over.
Iyo Kenshin: If they both make it that far!
{ Angel throws Blue Shoes away and climbs out of the wreckage. Blake grabs Knight by the head and pulls the now bleeding challenger out of the pile. Angel rolls Nick into the ring and Blue Shoes follows hoping to finally get this match going. Angel rolls in as well and goes right for the cover as Blue Shoes calls for the bell to start the match! Blue Shoes goes to count but Knight kicks right out! }
Iyo Kenshin: Knight isnât done yet!
{ Angel smirks and rolls back to the outside of the ring. Angel starts to rummage underneath the ring as Nick Knight tries to find his way to his feet. Angel pulls out from under the ring a cat of nine tails with several thumbtacks stuck through the end of each tail! }
Rayne: Oh godâŚ
{ Angel comes back into the ring as Knight finds his feet. Angel rears back looking to slash Nick across the face but Knight hits a stiff kick to Angelâs midsection and grabs him for a half and half suplex! Knight pops right back up to his feet, his face a crimson mask and lets out a roar to the cheers of the crowd. Nick picks up the cat of nine tails and smiles as the crowd pops. Nick rears back now with Angel on all fours and brings the cat of nine tails down across the back of the champion opening several gashes across Blakeâs back! }
Iyo Kenshin: I could have gone my whole life without seeing that!
Rayne: Thatâs a shame because youâre about to see it again in stereo!
{ Knight seems to enjoy that a little too much and starts whipping Angel over and over and over again while Blue Shoes just looks on in terror. Angelâs back looks like it just lost a fight with a weed wacker as Knight continues to just whip him to his hearts content! }
Iyo Kenhsin: I need to look away.
Rayne: God thatâs nasty.
{ Knight has finally had enough and throws the cat of nine tails away before picking Angel up and hitting him with Welcome to Hollywood! Knight goes in for the cover but Angel manages to kick out at one! Angel rolls away from Knight leaving a bloody stain on the mat. Nick palm strikes Angel across the back and then licks Angelâs blood off the palm of his hand!!! }
Rayne: Good lord!
Iyo Kenshin: This rivalry has turned into an all out war!
{ Angel rolls to the outside but Nick is right on him. Nick mounts Angel on the apron and starts to light up the champion with closed right hands. Again, Blue Shoes just watches as there are no rules besides this match has to end in the ring but pinfall, knock out or submission. Nick pulls Angel up to his feet and cracks the champion with a headbutt then a heavy chop across the chest that immediately opens a gash near Angelâs clavicle. Knight then tucks the head of the Champion and drills Angel with Banned in Memphis on the apron!!! }
Rayne: OH MY GOD!!! He may have just broken Angelâs neck!
Iyo Kenshin: That maybe about the only way either of these men give up!
{ Nick looks super proud of himself but looks to the crowd and says âONE MORE!?â and they roar back with âONE MORE TIME!â Knight pulls Angel back into the tucked position. Knight cranks his neck before lifting Angel up into a piledriver but Angel grabs the bottom rope with both his hands to swing the leverage back in his favor. Angel roars back, shocking Nick into a backdrop but Angel grabs the head of Knight as they go down and connects with the Rangerâs Way on the apron! }
Iyo Kenshin: Angel countered the piledriver into a backdrop driver!
Rayne: Incredible!
{ Both men fall off the apron together to the padded floor. Neither of them are moving as Blue Shoes tries to figure out what he should do if anything. Eventually Blue Shoes goes to the outside to see if either man wants to call it but neither of them do. Angel and Knight both roll over at the same time to their hands and knees. The two start crawling in different directions, using the apron as they go. Nick throws the apron up now as both men are on opposite sides of the ring. Nick pulls out a trash can full of weapons. On the other side of the ring, Angel pulls out a table. }
Iyo Kenshin: I canât believe Blue Shoes is letting this thing keep going!?
Rayne: There needs to be a winner!
{ Angel sets the table up near the end of the ramp but not quite in front of it. Nick throws the trash can full of weapons into the ring. Nick then marches around to the next side of the ring and throws the apron up to find something else. Angel goes back under the apron where he got the table and pulls out a barbed wire wrapped baseball bat! }
Rayne: Angel has Chris Diamondâs bat!
Iyo Kenshin: Chris wonât like that!
{ Angel walks toward where Knight is. Nick is pulling something out from under the ring, it looks like a long tray but itâs hard to make out. Nick finishes sliding this six foot long tray or bin out from under the ring as the camera follows Angel who is looking to knock Nickâs head off into the tenth row. Angel winds up and Nick catches Angel by surprise with a drop toe hold and sends Angel face first into the bin FULL OF BROKEN GLASS!!! }
Rayne: WHAT!?
Iyo Kenshin: NO!?
{ Knight grabs Angel by the hair and begins to rub the face of the champion into the broken glass! Knight smiles sadistically as he begins to slide Angelâs face back and forth, side to side, up and down! Knight then peels Angelâs head out of the glass revealing the champions now blood soaked face! Knight stands Angel up and then drills him with Welcome to Hollywodd back frist into the broken glass!!! }
Rayne: This has officially gone too far!
Iyo Kenshin: Now you think so!?
Rayne: I donât need to see a manâs face peeled off like in Texas Chainsaw Massacre!
{ Angel is writhing in pain as Nick looks on with a blood soaked smile. Eventually Nick pulls Angel up and out of the glass. Angelâs back is dripping blood now and little pieces of glass are clearly sticking out of him. Nick hits another Welcome to Hollywood and drops Angel to the floor. Nick then grabs the tray of glass and drags it down the side of the ring, around the corner and over to the table. Nick picks up the tray and dumps all the glass onto the table. }
Iyo Kenshin: I donât know how this could possibly get worse but it seems like itâs about to!
{ Angel is laid out on the floor as Nick makes his way back around. Nick pulls Angel up to his feet and rolls his limp body into the ring. Knight climbs in after the champ and pulls him up to his feet again. Nick hits Angel with several chops across the chest as the champion is on spaghetti legs. Nick clocks Angel with a chop one more time and the champion falls next to the trash can, knocking it over. Nick saunters toward Angel but Blake sits up with a kendo stick in hand and cracks Knight over the head with it! }
Rayne: Angel took a kendo stick out of the trash can!
{ Angel gets up with a second, third or fourth wind and begins to wrap Nick with the kendo stick over and over again until it finally breaks! Nick took each blow like a champ but Angel is pressing his attack now and stabs Nick in the head with the pointy end of the broken kendo stick! Angel then starts to drag it back and forth, furthering opening the wound on Nickâs head! }
Rayne: Jesus!
{ Angel throws Nick into a corner of the ring and runs in looking for Divine Justice but Nick steps out and grabs Angel with a snap Saito Suplex! Nick spots the table now and pulls Angel back up to his feet. Nick hoists Angel up to the top so heâs seated on the turnbuckle. Nick climbs up to the top rope now and points to the table as the crowd cheers. Nick goes to tuck Angelâs head, preparing for a Banned in Memphis off the top to the outside but Angel upper cuts Nick right between the legs!!! }
Iyo Kenshin: Angel with a low blow!!!
Rayne: Turn around is fair play!!!
{ Angel uses Nickâs body to pull himself up onto the top rope now. Both men are standing there as Angel takes a hold of Knight. Angel takes one look behind him before they BOTH GO OFF THE TOP ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE IN A SPANISH FLY! ANGEL DRIVING NICK KNIGHT THROUGH THE GLASS COVERED TABLE ON THE OUTSIDE!!! }
Rayne: NO!!!!!!
Iyo Kenshin: HOLY!!!!
{ Blue Shoes goes right to the outside to check on them but Angel is already moving somehow and says he isnât finished. Nick Knight is a bloody mess but somehow he also starts to move. Angel pulls Nick up and drags him back toward the ring and throws Knight onto the apron. Angel pushes Nick under the bottom rope and climbs in going for the cover. Blue Shoes makes the count but KNIGHT KICKS OUT AT TWO!!! }
Rayne: Nick kicked out!?
Iyo Kenshin: I donât believe it!
Rayne: Me either but he did it!
{ Angel pushes himself off Knight, he canât believe it. Angel looks genuinely shocked. Knight slowly sits up, soaked in blood and raises both middle fingers! Angel snaps back, grabs the trash can puts it over Knightâs head and torso! Angel steps back and then comes in with a vicious Divine Justice! Knight doesnât go down so Angel hits a second Divine Justice! Knight is still holding up a single middle finger from under the trash can as Angel bounces off the ropes and hits a third Divine Justice, caving in the trash can roughly where Nickâs head must be!!! }
Rayne: Jeeeeeeeesus!
{ Angel lays across the top of the still trash can covered Nick Knight as Blue Shoes comes in for the count. Itâs one! Nickâs feet are moving but his shoulders are pinned inside the can. TWO! Nick is visibly trying to get out of the trash can but Angel holds him in place with everything he has! THREE!!! }
Alison Valance: Your winner⌠ANGEL BLAKE!!!
{ Angel rolls off of Nick who is still trying to get the trash can off of himself. }
Rayne: Even after all of that, Nick is still trying to fight!
{ Angel contemplates going in for more as Nick starts to get free but instead drops down and rolls out of the ring where medical staff are already waiting. }
Iyo Kenshin: And the only thing that bothers me more than what we just witnessed is that we are going to see something worse next week!
Rayne: God, I hadnât thought of that.
{ Nick finally gets himself free and gets to his feet but staggers a little. Both men have lost a lot of blood. Angel is stumbling his way through the medical staff as Nick stumbles his way around Blue Shoes. }
Rayne: I canât believe Nick is still trying to fight!
Iyo Kenshin: Knight doesnât know when to quit!
{ Nick is jawing off as Blue Shoes trying to hold him back. Angel looks on from the outside as the medical staff is trying to wipe him down. }
Iyo Kenshin: Folks, weâve got to clean this scene up. Itâs time for a break.
{ Knight holds up a single middle finger as Angel looks on from the outside. }

WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
1500 Word RP Limit
Caleb Cain vs Dark Tiger
------------------------------------
{ The lights go out and If Darkness Had A Son plays and a purple spotlight is shone. Dark Tiger and his wife Gabriella Tigress come to the ramp. The crowd goes nuts for him. }
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen coming to the ring being accompanied to the ring by his wife Gabriella Tigress and hails from Richmond Virginia. He stands seven feet one inch and weighs in at two hundred ninety two pounds. He is the legendary Beast of Darkness, Dark Tiger!
{ They come to the ring. Dark Tiger lowers the ropes for Gabriella and she enters and they come to the middle of the ring and Dark Tiger raises his arms and purple pyro comes from the turnbuckles. }
Iyo Kenshin: Dark Tiger has the biggest opportunity of his IWF career so far! Can he dethrone the reigning Television Champion, Caleb Cannin?
Rayne: There is not a doubt in my mind that Cannin will retain his title. We are talking about one of the most strategic wrestlers to ever set foot in an IWF ring!
{The opening riff of âEpicâ greets the audience as Caleb Cannin walks onto the entrance stage. He smiles devilishly as he makes a confident stride down the ramp. He reaches the steel steps, glaring at any fans in the front. Making a careful ascent up the steps, he wipes his feet on the apron before setting foot in the ring. He ditches the jacket and towel, tossing them at a poor ring attendant.}
Alison Valance: And his opponent, hailing from Washington, D.C., weighing in at 219 pounds⌠he is the IWF World Television Champion⌠Caleb Cannin!
Rayne: No intro from Caleb Cannin tonight? A little disappointingâŚ
Iyo Kenshin: Thank godâŚ
{ Blue Shoes holds up the Television Championship as the bell rings. Cannin slowly approaches the stoic Dark Tiger. He stands face to face with the seven footer and lights him up with a hard slap. Dark Tiger begins to chase Cannin, who slides out of the ring and taunts the challenger. The rage on Tigerâs face grows while Cannin takes a lap on the outside. The final straw is when Cannin begins to talk trash to Gabriella, even going so far as to throw a fanâs drink onto her. Dark Tiger goes to the outside and runs the champion back into the ring. As Tiger himself slides back in, he is immediately ambushed with knees and stomps from The Future. The champion squarely targets the shoulder as he digs his knee into the side of Tiger. }
Rayne: This is what Iâm talking about, Iyo, the strategy of Caleb Cannin! There are only a few men in this company that are more cerebral than he is!
Iyo Kenshin: Is using shortcuts considered a strategy now?
{ Dark Tiger powers out of Canninâs various holds and whips him to the ropes, knocking the champion down with a big lariat. He puts an Iron Claw onto Cannin, lifting him up from the ground and planting him with a chokeslam. He covers the champion!
ONEâŚ
TWOâŚ
Kick-out from Cannin!
{The challenger picks Cannin up and shoves him into the corner. He goes to the opposite corner and begins to charge, looking for a big Yakuza Kick in the corner. Caleb ducks, however, and Tigerâs leg gets caught in the ropes. The champion takes the chance to wrench his opponentâs extended leg, but Blue Shoes intervenes with a five count. As he scolds Cannin for taking too much time, The Future blocks his view and hits a back kick low blow to the vulnerable Tiger. }
Iyo Kenshin: What a cheap shot! How can this guy parade himself as being one of the best when he does stuff like this?
Rayne: Are you going crazy?! I saw nothing but clean, perfect shots from the champion!
{ Cannin tries to drag Dark Tiger away from the corner, but the Beast of Darkness gets a second wind and hurls him back into the corner. He beats down the champion, who can only try to cover up as blow after blow is thrown his way. Dark Tiger lays in a few corner lariats for good measure before he sets up Cannin for Etched in Stone! As Tiger steps forward, Cannin pushes off the top turnbuckle and gets back on the ground. He hooks Tigerâs arms and turns him around, hitting The Cannin Ending! He covers the challenger, putting his feet up on the middle rope for leverage!
ONEâŚ
TWOâŚ
THREE!
As soon as the bell rings, Cannin legs it out of the ring. He grabs his championship and dashes up the ramp. A frustrated Dark Tiger leans against the ropes, glaring daggers at the champion. }
Alison Valance: Here is your winner and STILL the IWF World Television Champion⌠Caleb Cannin!
Iyo Kenshin: Caleb Cannin had to cheat to win against Dark Tiger! How can anyone justify him representing our company?
Rayne: I can justify it! He is the FUTURE, Iyo, and youâd be wise to put some respect on the name!
{ Cannin holds up a finger in the air before pointing at one of the cameras. He leans in and yells amongst the boos. }
Caleb Cannin: ONE DOWN⌠NINE MORE TO GO! IâM STAYING ON TOP, BECAUSE IâM THE BEST!
{ The crowd voice their disapproval with the decision as Cannin holds up his championship, grinning wide. }

MAIN EVENT
Last woman standing wins a Womenâs World Championship opportunity at Night of the Immortals.
1500 Word RP Limit
Sorcha Wynne v Mai Everstone v Sara Cross V Latoya Hixx v Ms Markella v Caroline Machado
------------------------------------
Alison Valance: The main event of the Viwerâs Fan service night is the Iron Maiden!
{Crowd cheers}
Alison Valance: The winner earns the winner a guaranteed Womenâs World Championship title shot at Night of the Immortals. It is contested inside a large, circular steel cage that surrounds the entire ring. The chamber contains four "Maidens" which contain four of the six competitors in the match. The other two start the match inside the ring. A "Maiden" opens every five minutes to let another competitor into the match. This year is a last women standing match.
{In the arena four pods have been places around a ring, the camera pans to each pod in turn and points upwards to show the cage waiting to be lowered around it. The Camera then pans the crowd before going to the announcement table where Iyo and Rayne are sitting.}
Iyo Kenshin: Welcome to the main event. I know this is what a lot of people have been waiting for.
Rayne: Given the extensive cleaning that needed to be done after that last match Iâm surprised we got this up in time.
{with It Lyric And so it went as Lights Go Out with Lyric It belongs to me. Markella Appears on Entrance Ramp With Spot Light on Markella chewing on Bubble gum leans right with her left hand on her blows a bubble on Markella way through The aisle as Markella rolls her eyes. As walks her way to the ring as she yawns again covering her mouth. As Markella gets to ring side as she slowly walk up the ring steps as she enters in under top rope as make heart â¤ď¸ shape jester breaking The it đ as she letâs out giggle as take gum sticks it on the camera lens. }
Alison Valance: First to the ring tonight, from Chios, Greece weighing in at 120 pounds standing at 5â7ââ ⌠MISS MARKELLA!
Iyo Kenshin: Markella hasnât said a single thing since coming to this company. Do you think sheâs ready for this?
Rayne: Iâm pretty sure this is her make or break match in this company.
{ The words rip through the stadium as "The Bird and The Worm" hits as the lights dim to a dark purple. A grey like smoke rising on the ramp way as the form of Mai comes up onto the stage in a long flowing black lace robe with a Crow on her shoulder who caw loudly. She waves with a large smile. She skips happily down the ramp, stop to wave at the fans and taking a selfie with some doing a silly face before making it down to the ring. The lights begin to flicker red in the purple as she stops at the steps.
She gently takes the crow onto her shoulder, kissing it gently as she lets it take flight around the ring.
As it looks like sheâs about to climb the steps she jumps onto the top rope with ease. Maiâs hands extending out to the crowd as she grin wide. She puts her hands down on the top rope as she looks around the ring and she begins to lift herself up onto the rope before flipping back onto her feet where she howls out at the crowd. She takes off her robe and holds it up as the crow takes the robe and flys back up the ramp. As soon as the crow is gone pyro explodes from every corner in a brilliant green light as the lights turn back to normal and she enters the second pod. }
Alison Valance: Second to the ring, from Spanish Fork, Utah weighing in at 101 pounds standing at 5â2ââ ⌠MAI EVERSTONE!
Iyo Kenshin: Mai seemed pretty determined to win this match, how do you feel about her chances?
Rayne: Honestly, I think after last week most people would have their money on Sorcha or Caroline to win this.
"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 the third pod and makes a MMA fighting position and waits for the match to start. }
Alison Valance: Third to the ring, from Rio de Janiero, Brazil weighing in at 135 pounds and standing at 5â6ââ... CAROLINE MACHADO!
Iyo Kenshin: Speaking of Caroline, this is her first match back after that injury. She looks good as new.
Rayne: Everything looks good when there is a chance to get back a title.
{The guitars of "Until Our Worlds Align" start to echo across the arena as Mist flls the entryway before Sorcha rises up from the floor. Stepping out smoothly dressed in a long cloak, ring gear underneath before she walks down the entryway , climbing the steps and kneeling in the middle of the ring to mutter some of prayer, rising and discarding the cloak jacket and move to the corner, kneeling one again to mutter at her pod before entering it and facing the center of the ring.}
Alison Valance: Fourth down to the ring and the last women in a Maiden, from Ayr, Scotland weighing in at 155 pounds standing at 5â5ââ... SORCHA WYNNE!
Iyo Kenshin: Being the last women in the maiden means the next two women are going to be starting this match out. Sorcha has been on fire since coming back. I think a lot of people expect her to win this match tonight.
Rayne: It makes the most sense. But Caroline is still here and she is a former champion.
{Sky's The Limit hit's as Laytoya Hixx comes out on stage and grooves a little bit and she takes both of her hands in covered it up and dip toe her pose and lifts up her blue sunglasses and hands them to her fans and walks straight down and over the ring and hops on it and she holds onto the ropes and bend over and show them her Boss Knuckles and she gets inside of the ring and she takes off her wrestling gear and gets into the first pod}
Alison Valance: First to start in the ring, from Boston, Massachusetts weighing in at 114 pounds standing at 5â5ââ... LATOYA HIXX!
Iyo Kenshin: Latoya is an intense competitor. It will be interesting to see how she handles a match of this style.
Rayne: All anyone has to do in this match is focus on getting rid of as many of the other competitors as possible.
{As the lights dim, the guitar slowly begins to strum a few notes and the crowd begins to go wild. After the verse starts, an excited Sara Cross. As the music continues on to the chorus she hops into a jog down the entrance ramp, high fiving various crowd members as she does so. As the second verse begins, she stops at the end of the ramp and searches for a fan to lend her shirt to. As she does so, she smiles brightly and leaps onto the edge of the ringside, slipping through the middle and top ropes after a few moments of taking in the arena itself.}
Alison Valance: Last to the ring, from parts unknown, weighing in at 115 pounds standing at 5â3ââ SARA CROSS!
Iyo Kenshin: Sara is also on her second time back in this company and it honestly seems like she hasnât been able to take a moment to say anything to anyone.
Rayne: Just like Markella. Iâm pretty sure this is her last chance to make an impression.
{With a loud groan the cage lowers down surrounding the ring. Refs on the outside secure it in place. Inside Blue Shoes points the four women starting inside of a pod to their place leaving Sara Cross and Latoya Hixx as the two ladies to start things off}
Iyo Kenshin: The thing that makes this match different from years past is that it is Last Women Standing, many the first of these ladies to score a pinfall or submission wins. It does not matter if all four women have exited their pod. How does that effect your strategy?
Rayne: Well I think if Iâm Sara and Latoya Iâm doing everything that I can to end this in the first five minutes. No reason to even have to face the three women with way better records. The other four just have to pray that theyâre next one out of their pod.
{Blue Shoes calls for the bell and 5:00 appears up on the tron. Sara and Latoya begin circling one another before locking up in the center of the ring. The two seem evenly matched, but Sara quickly gains that advantage and drives her opponent into the corner. Cross begins to lay in heavy lefts and rights, but all Latoya can do is cover up given that the match is no disqualification. Looking to end things early Sara lifts Hixx up onto the top turnbuckle and follows her up.}
Iyo Kenshin: It looks like Sara Cross is thinking the same way that you are, Rayne. End the match early and not have to face off with the top tier of women here in IWF.
Rayne:Now letâs see if sheâs able to pull it off.
{Sara Cross applies a front face lock and tries to superplex Latoya, but the CEO blocks the attempt. Hixx begins to fire in closed fists to the midsection of Cross until she breaks the grip and smiling to the crowd climbs up onto the top turnbuckle.}
Iyo Kenshin: Latoya Hixx is putting it all on the line for a shot at the Womenâs World Champion, but is it too soon to be this desperate.
Rayne:I really donât think so, because this might be her best chance in the entire match.
{Leaping up Latoya attempts a hurricanrana, but Sara Cross his it well scouted and counters with an ugly powerbomb that sends Latoya crashing to the steel grating that surrounds the ring. Climbing up to the top Cross comes down atop her opponent with a big elbow drop and hooks the legâŚ

Latoya Hixx weakly gets her shoulder up off the steel just a hairs breath before Blue Shoesâ hand hit the mat for a third time. Frustrated by this Sara Cross gets to her feet and gets in the face of IWFâs senior official arguing that it was a three count.}
Iyo Kenshin: Sara Cross should be focusing more on finishing the job than arguing with Blue Shoes.
Rayne:Itâs easy to see why she is winless here in IWF
{Cross continues to argue until she finds herself taken over by a school girl and stacked up high for a pinâŚ

Iyo Kenshin: Whoâs it going to be?
Rayne:Weâre about to find out, but if Sara Cross and Latoya Hixx are smart they will double team whoever it is and beat them before they go after each other again.
{The flicker of the light slows until it finally stops over Ms. Markell. âThe Greek Scavengerâsâ pod opens, but she slides it back closed and holds on for dear life.}
Iyo Kenshin: What is Ms. Markell doing?
Rayne:Avoiding a fight would be my best guess.
{Not even worrying about the third woman that has entered the contest Sara Cross and Latoya Hixx begin going after each other hammer and tongues. Lefts and rights are exchanged until fists arenât enough and the elbows begin to fly rocking both womenâs heads. Suddenly Ms Markell shoots out of her pod and smashes her opponents heads together with a meeting of the minds. Staying in control the woman from Greece levels Sara Cross with the Atlas Falls Superkick, before whipping Latoya Hixx into the cage and following her in with a big clothes line and then a bulldog onto the steel, a combination that she calls Oxi.}
Iyo Kenshin: Ms Markell has a reputation for taking every shortcut possible, and this match is no different.
Rayne:I think thatâs a smart strategy in any multi-woman match. Now letâs see if she can follow up.
{ âThe Greek Scavengerâ slowly slides down her knee pad and just wills one of her opponents to rise to their knees. Latoya Hixx is the first up and she gets absolutely leveled by âThe Greek Tragedy.â Mr Markell makes the coverâŚ

Iyo Kenshin: The âSpooky Kidâ is free, and I have to think she is going to be looking to make a quick splash.
Rayne:Sara and Latoya are both obviously hurting, theyâd be the easy targets, but I think she needs to go after Ms Markell.
{Sorcha steps out of her pod and stalks towards the center of the ring looking for someone to hit. Ms Markell is the first to reach her and is blasted in the face with RiastĂĄd that drops the Greek wrestler to the canvas. Next Wyn turns her attention to Sara Cross and kicks her in the gut before planting her skull first with Witching Hour just as she was stepping between the ropes. Sorcha jumps back to her feet, but is taken right back down to the mat by a springboard armdrag from Latoya Hixx. Seeing an opportunity to win the match Hixx keeps up the element of surprise and locks the crossface onto Sorcha}
Iyo Kenshin: Weâre about to see the biggest upset in Iron Maiden history!
Rayne:Sorcha Wyn is in big trouble, but I think she is the better technical wrestler than Latoya Hixx. I guarantee sheâs trained for this move, so look for her to roll her hips into Latoya to relieve some of the pressure, and then roll into a pin.
{Doing exactly what Rayne predicted, Sorcha rolled her hips into Hixxâs body to alleviate some of the pressure on her neck and shoulders. Realizing what was happening Latoya released the hold and was standing when a boot collided with her face as Ms Markell hits another Atlas Fall. âThe Greek Scavengerâ has no time to follow up before being planted by a bridging German Suplex from Sara Cross.

Iyo Kenshin: The way things are going in this match, weâre going to see an upset.
Rayne:Thereâs a 50/50 shot of it happening, but I just donât see it happening. Weâre less than a minute away from either Caroline or Mai from entering the match, and I think itâs safe to say business is about to pick up.
{A frustrated Sara Cross climbs off of the canvas and turns towards Blue Shoes to give the senior official a piece of her mind, but her rant is cutoff when Sorcha Wyn locks her up in a sleeper hold. The choke is deep and Sara begins to fade almost immediately. Her eyes are rolling back in her head and she is struggling to stay on her feet as the fans begin making the countdown.

Suddenly everyone exhales and begins to cheer as somehow Sara has found the energy to keep her arm up and she is trying to desperately fight out of the sleeper hold.

A buzzer sounds and spotlights begins to move between the pods randomly before finally stopping over the pod holding Caroline Machado.}
Iyo Kenshin: The former IWF Womenâs Champion is about to enter the match. I think you were right about business picking up, Rayne.
Rayne:You doubted me?
{Caroline exits the pod with intent and breaks up Sorcha Wynâs sleeper hold with a running senton. The Brazilian pops straight back to her feet and takes out the charging Ms Markall with an exploder, before driving Latoya Hixx skull first into the mat with Six Pack Spike.}
Iyo Kenshin: Like everything that she does, Caroline Machado has upped the energy in this match.
Rayne:Yeah, but she better have her head on a swivel, because here comes Sorcha Wyn.
{A clubbing blow sends Caroline up and over the top rope, and crashing to the steel grating outside. Sorcha steps between the ropes before jumping up to the top and coming down with a springboard Beltain Bomb that visibly drives the air from Carolineâs lungs. She hooks the leg and Blue Shoes drops down onto the steel to makes the countâŚ

A flying Latoya Hixx comes over the top with a springboard moonsault that lands atop both woman breaking up the count.

Sara Cross makes an insane save by hitting a lowpe that drives Ms Markall into the cage hard.}
Iyo Kenshin: It seems like Iâve said it a dozen times in this match, but it felt like that was the end right there.
Rayne: There isnât a woman in that match that doesnât want to get a shot at Jennie at High Stakes, and they are going to fight with everything that they have to get there. And we still have one more woman to enter.
{The last woman standing in the cage Sara Cross pulls Ms Markall up to a vertical base, before setting the young woman from Greece up for a piledriver onto the steel. The Greek Scavenger desperately tries to free herself from Crossâ grips, but she fails and the arena fills with a sickening thud when her head collides with the grating.
Not allowing Cross to get back up from her feet Sorcha Wyn connects with a brutal sliding lariat, before flipping Sara on her belly and locking on Arcadian Gate. A rubber legged Latoya Hixx tries to break up the submission hold but instead finds herself locked in Caroline Machadoâs Dig!Dig!Dig!}
Iyo Kenshin: We have two women locked into submissions holds, side by side. Which of them is going to submit first?
Rayne:Donât forget we have Mai Everstone entering the match in fifteen seconds. All they have to do is hold out for her to get out of her pod and make the save.

{Blue Shoes walks over to the side of the cage and says something to Alison Valance.}
Alison ValanceLadies and gentlemen your winner by submission and the 2023 Iron Maiden Sorcha Wyn!!!
Iyo Kenshin: Congratulations to Sorcha Wyn, but you have to think that there is going to be some controversy in this match. Mai Everstone did not even have a chance to get out of her pod before the match was over.
Rayne:That was a risk with this years rules, but I agree that itâs not very fair.
{Sorcha Wyn is celebrating her victory as the cage is being raised, as a dejected Mai Everstone looks on.}
Iyo Kenshin: You arenât the only one that doesnât think itâs fair Rayne, because I have just been told that Mai Everstone has been given a match against Che for the Queenâs Gambit briefcase.
Rayne:Wow! Given the fact that those two ladies donât like each other, and with a future shot at the Womenâs World Championship on the line, that match is going to be huge.
Iyo Kenshin: I have also been given word that Match 4 of the Best of 5 between Nick Knight and Angel Blake will be Falls Count Anywhere.
