Briefly you can hear the distorted sound of screaming before sudden silence. A face moves in the distortion, unseen but for the rictus smile on its face while Cuneiform characters form on the screen as it speaks. }Abraxes:: I have warned you. I have told you the inevitable conclusion of your sins but you have remained stubborn, my children. You do not heed the wisdom of your creator, so bound to your relations and your vice. You seek not the righteous path that I have laid before you and for that, you will suffer. { The distorted face clicks its teeth together as it waves back and forth. }Abraxes:: Soon you will know of my just punishment. There is nowhere that you can hide where you will be safe. Only through the acceptance of my teachings will you see redemption. For I have spoken my wisdom and shown you the path which you must walk. But you have plucked out your own eyes, filled your ears with mud and covered yourself in dust while believing yourself mighty. But you will be shown that you are but children upon my stage. { The being titters softly before clicking its teeth together again. }Abraxes:: For the love that I bear for you I shall teach you. I will spare not the rod to see you reach the greatness that I have planned for you. There is a kingdom that you could inherit if you will but take my hand, oh my little children. It is a bitter thing to punish those that you hold so cherished in your heart, but I will do what must be done because of that love. Prepare yourselves. { The teeth clack together once more. }Abraxes:: For I am coming. ------------------------------- SINGLES MATCHWarMech vs. Mr. Happy ------------------------------- The bell rings, and the match begins with WarMech immediately charging at Mr. Happy.

Terri Moracos: Here we are. The first knock out round of Heiress to the throne. Are you excited?
Vasco Dias: Clearly not as much as you are.
{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 āHallelujah (Iām Not Dead)ā 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 as she slips off her waistcoat, ready to compete.}
Alison Valance: First down to the ring, Abigail!
Terri Moracos: Abigail is looking determined here tonight. With everything that has happened recently, you canāt really blame her.
Vasco Dias: What? Attending weddings? Or the ending up towards the bottom of the tournament?
{The lights dim in the area, and the Imperialtron slowly lights to show a dancing figurine turning slowly in a music box to the soft chimes of a simple melody and the sound of bells tolling in rhythm with the music. After ten seconds, the music suddenly picks up, full of synth. Rini virtually bounces into view, her overcoat swirling around her as she almost runs from one side of the stage to the other, waving with unbridled enthusiasm. Rini keeps beaming smiles and waving all the way down the ramp. She wipes her feet quickly on the outside and climbs between the ropes. Once inside the ring, she strikes a dramatic pose, her left hand on her hip and her right hand forming a sideways V next to her eye, still grinning. She holds the pose for a few beats and then goes to her corner.}

{The camera finds āThe Comedianā Allen Chaney walking with purpose backstage in his street clothes. He is brandishing a folding chair and whistling a jaunty little tune to himself as he finally comes across the door he had been looking for. One of the few doors in the backstage area with the label āOFFICEā on the pillar beside the door and a paper printout reading āROBERTO VERONAā taped to the actual door itself.
Allen slams open the office door as he opens it with incredible force.}
ALLEN CHANEY: We need to fucking talk you piece of-
{The office chair spins around so the individual seated can face the door.}
ALLEN CHANEY: -ass. Hot piece of ass. Also the love of my life. This door is very light.
{Allen clears his throat and awkwardly shifts from his threatening stance to one with one hand on his hip, attempting to casually lean on the folding chair.}
ALLEN CHANEY: ā¦sup?
{The camera turns to unveil the person sitting in the chair, and itās none other thanā¦ THE SACRIFICE GENERAL MANAGER! Jennie Fenix! Sheās adorning a fancier suit that still matches her general color scheme in various shades of purple, pink, and blue, and in her lap is her cat, Purrseus.}
JENNIE FENIX: I was waiting for Roberto to show up! Figured if he saw this office, heād let me steal his office for the dayā¦I hear he has a koi pond.
{Purrseus meows, and she scritches behind his ears earning her his further affection.}
ALLEN CHANEY: Probably for the best, then. Purrseus would definitely get one of those fish. Anyway, have you seen Roberto? I wanted to have a talk with him. I even have a chair. To sit in. For our talk.
{Allen holds up the chair for chair emphasis.}
ALLEN CHANEY: Itās a talking chair. For talking.
JENNIE FENIX: You taught a chair to talk?!
{She gasps and leans forward, staring attentively at the chair, waiting for it to speak.}
ALLEN CHANEY: More like itās a chair that is equally used for talking as it is for sitting. Definitely not for violence. Anywho. Iāll get outta your hair, boss. {Allen starts to head for the door.}
JENNIE FENIX: No, no, no, come! Sit!
{Jennie says and pats her desk, moving stuff aside.}
JENNIE FENIX: I feel like we havenāt really talked about this whole me-being-a-secret-boss ordeal. Have they found the secret cow level on Diablo IV yet?
ALLEN CHANEY: I figure there isnāt much to talk about. Work is work and not work is not work and if my talk with Verona goes a certain way then work will no longer be work. I figure he wonāt want me around while Iām suing him into oblivion.
{A pause.}
ALLEN CHANEY: Only hints and puzzles suggesting the existence of the Cow Level. I think itāll happen season 5.
JENNIE FENIX: I get it, but itās like, I heard what some of the people have been trying toā¦insinuateā¦about everything, and Iām just feeling like itās not fair theyāre trying to bunch you into that whole thing, thinking Iām doing you favors somehow! People always have these excuses. And then everyone says I gotta just let it slide, and let them talk! Andā
{She sighs.}
JENNIE FENIX: Itās just not fair, but Iāll handle it. Fairly.
ALLEN CHANEY: I know you will. Itās not your fault but the position Iām inā¦ if you help me out in any way we both get called out for it and Iām certainly not anticipating any help from Robertoā¦ so Iām having one more talk with him before I get into the weeds with lawyers and such.
{A pause.}
ALLEN CHANEY: If I can make the case that my winning the Joker in the Pack and not being allowed to use the briefcase constitutes a breach of contract then Iām golden. Remember when they gave Conan The Tonight Show? After he worked so hard to earn it? Then the network said āWell weāve decided to put The Tonight Show on LATER and basically give Leno your spot backā. See, the network really thought that ātechnicallyā didnāt count as breach of contract. Lawyers got involved. Conan got 45 Million dollars. If I got even a fraction of that Iād go book my own vanity show called āFuck Roberto Veronaā.
JENNIE FENIX: I can talk to Jessica to talk to Hannah to talk to Roberto. She usually has the good sense to get through to him.
{She ponders for a moment, a mixed expression on her face knowing it would constitute as trying to pull stringsā¦although she knew he was right in saying he had earned it. She grumbles under her breath with no solution seeming plausible.}
JENNIE FENIX: Did we get any headway on who attacked you yet?!
{She says a little louder with the frustration of not being able to do anything. Allen just responds with a shrug.}
ALLEN CHANEY: Wish I could tell you. I want to do right by this company. I really doā¦ but for all my efforts what Iāve ended up with is surgically repaired knees and an invisible briefcase.
JENNIE FENIX: I bet it was Warren.
{She narrows her eyes while tapping a finger against her chin.}
JENNIE FENIX: But I guessāwhat do you want for dinner?! I can send Cliffward to pick it up!
{Allen thinks about it.}
ALLEN CHANEY: Honestlyā¦ if you can wait til work is done, Iād kinda just like to have the night alone with you. Grab some fancy future snacks from Japan 7-11 and just chill at our room?
JENNIE FENIX: And watch the Broly movie again?!
ALLEN CHANEY: I mean, sure. You just have to yell less this time no matter how hype you get.
JENNIE FENIX: No promises.

------------------------------- HEIRESS TO THE THRONE SINGLES MATCH Black Widow vs. Serenity Holmes -------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and has a twenty-minute time limit! Introducing first...
{The lights go out. Red lights kick on overhead, bathing the stage in a crimson hue. The opening drums to "Shotgun" by the Leaked Footage plays over the speakers, bringing the Black Widow crawling out from behind the curtain.}
Alison Valance: Making her way to the ring, from Seattle, Washingtonā¦ the Black Widow!
{The Widow ceases her crawl on the cusp of the ramp, looking around the arena. She stays on her knees, arms extended, and arches her back so her upper body falls backwards. When the song picks up at the fifty-four second mark, she thrusts her torso upward with a jolt. She rises up off her knees and starts to slowly walk to the ring to a chorus of boos. Cvetkova builds a little speed in her walk as she nears the bottom of the ramp and dives underneath the bottom rope. Pushing herself up onto her hands and knees, she crawls across the ring, head tilted as she flashes a sinister smile. She pops up, retreating to her corner. Once there, she sits down, leaning her back against the turnbuckles and waiting for her opponent's arrival.}
Alison Valance: And her opponent...
{"Synthetic Sympathy" by Trash Boat immediately explodes from the arena's surrounding systems, sparking a positive reaction from the audience. The bass and repeated opening lyrics synchronize with the lights flashing around the venue's interior, leading to Serenity Holmes sprinting from the backstage area to center stage, where the fans of the Action Wrestling universe greet her. She stands center stage before taking off her hat and throwing it into the fans for amusement until looking down the entrance path, where she takes off into a run for the mere moment of interactions on her fast-paced run to the ring.}
Alison Valance: Hailing from Houston, Texas! At five feet, seven inches tall, weighing in at 127 pounds. She is "22nd Century Girl" Serenity Holmes!"
{Serenity slides under the bottom rope before unloading onto her feet, where she quickly hops onto the middle turnbuckle of an unoccupied corner to greet the fans at ringside. She flips her hair and throws up a peace sign with her tongue hanging out while winking at the camera. Serenity hops down and lands on her feet, where she is caught off-guard by a Cactus Clothesline from the Black Widow before the match starts, spilling both women out to the floor!}
Vasco Dias: This one is going to start hot, Morasco!
Terri Morasco: It was clear from their words this week; these two women don't like each other. The bell hasn't even sounded yet as we see the Black Widow bringing Serenity to her feet... and a wicked right hand from the Widow staggers the Invictus Champion!
Vasco Dias: Look out!
Terri Morasco: The Black Widow just threw Holmes into the steel security railing surrounding our ring on the outside... and now she's stomping away on Serenity!
{Cvetkova turns around and dislodges the top of the steel stairs from the larger base. She tips the top of the stairs over onto the floor before going back to try to grab Serenity. Holmes fires back on Cvetkova, landing a few punches from her knees into the Black Widow's midsection. The Black Widow answers with a knee placed underneath Serenity's jaw, and then bites down on the forehead of the "22nd Century Girl"! After leading Serenity up on top of the base of the stairs with her, the Black Widow drives Holmes' head into the steel with a double underhook DDT! Smiling at her handywork, the Mistress of Mayhem relents for a moment while Serenity lays almost motionless.}
Terri Morasco: That was absolutely brutal! Serenity's skull was just forcefully driven into those stairs, Vasco.
Vasco Dias: She may be unconscious, Morasco.
{The Widow makes her way up inside of the ring, where she crawls over to her corner and sits back down. The official for this contest, Tommy Knocker, doesn't perform a count, as the opening bell still hasn't even sounded. A trainer comes down to check on Serenity. After a few moments of talk amongst the announcers and waiting in the arena, Serenity gets to her feet and shoves the trainer away from her. With a vengeful look in her eyes, Serenity re-enters the ring. She pushes past the official when he attempts to ask her if she wants to start, so Tommy calls for the opening bell.}
Ding!
{Serenity blocks a right hand by the Black Widow, and answers with a stiff forearm blow of her own that seems to have some extra malice behind it. The "22nd Century Girl" taps into her Mixed Martial Arts influenced arsenal, assailing her adversary with a few kicks targeting the midsection of the Black Widow. Serenity launches a kick that lands flush with the Black Widow's skull, wiping out Cvetkova! Holmes pounces, delivering a repeated series of forearm shots to the head of the Black Widow from a mounted position.}
Terri Morasco: Serenity is a very emotional competitor, and she seems just as focused on punishing the Black Widow now as she does on winning, Vasco.
Vasco Dias: She needs to be careful with the Black Widow, though. We've seen her sacrifice herself at times to bait people in.
{Holmes brings Cvetkova back to a vertical base by the hair, smashing her face into the nearest turnbuckle. Serenity takes Cvetkova by the wrist, shooting her across the ring into the opposite corner. Holmes follows it up with the "Deadline Trap" (a Running Yakuza Kick into the corner followed by a diving Phoenix Splash.) Holmes crawls back over, laying with her back over top of Cvetkova for a very lackadaisical cover. The referee slides into position for a count, with Serenity counting along, but the Black Widow kicks out on two! Holmes claps her hands together three times, very quickly, wanting faster counts from the official. Holmes again pulls Cvetkova to her feet, delivering a huge forearm shot to the chest before slapping the Black Widow across the mouth. The Black Widow smiles after the slap, seemingly having derived a sense of enjoyment from it. The Black Widow drops to her knees, extending her arms out, inviting Serenity to hit her again. Instead of a slap, Holmes turns and fires a spin kick into the Black Widow's sternum. Despite her struggles to breathe, the Widow tries to laugh. She offers herself up to Serenity again, in the same manner. Serenity goes for another kick, this time aimed at the Black Widow's head, but the Widow tosses her torso back in a matrix style evasion.}
{The Black Widow gets up, and she goes straight for Serenity's eyes, digging her fingers deep into both of Serenity's eye sockets as the official counts for her to break. Cvetkova rocks a blinded Holmes with a headbutt, staggering the "22nd Century Girl". The Widow connects with a Short-arm Clothesline, putting her opponent down on the canvas. Continuing to throw the rulebook out the window, Cvetkova grabs two big handfuls of Serenity's hair, using it to drag her into a corner. Putting a boot into Serenity's throat, the Black Widow chokes her for every second of the count available to her to do so. She drops down, taking Serenity's chin in her hand and running her tongue up Holmes' cheek. The Black Widow moves backward in a crawl, eyeing Serenity. Standing, she moves the rest of the way into the far corner, and then comes crashing in with a cannonball that smashes Holmes in the corner. With Holmes still trying to recover, the Black Widow rolls to the outside and takes hold of Serenity's arm, wrapping it around the steel ring post on the outside! The Black Widow grabs Serenity's arm and wraps it around the post again! Serenity draws her arm back, clutching it at the elbow.}
Terri Morasco: The Black Widow is trying to injure the arm of Serenity Holmes, Vasco! We've seen how vicious this woman can be on numerous occasions; but you don't suppose there could be any truth to what she said this week about having a deal-
Vasco Dias: I have no business in Mr. Verona's business, and neither do you, Morasco. Whatever is going on, we should just call the match.
{The Black Widow kneels down outside, undoing the laces on her boot at the top. She pulls a box cutter out she had tucked inside of her boot and pushes the blade out. She hops up on the apron, box cutter in hand; but the official immediately grabs her wrist, telling her she cannot use that. They struggle back-and-forth as the official struggles to get the box cutter away from the Black Widow. He finally pries it loose from her grip, angering her. With her focus off of Serenity, the Black Widow is left totally unprepared when the "22nd Century Girl" delivers a big kick to knock the Widow from the apron. Still favoring her arm, Holmes runs the ropes and takes the Black Widow out with a Suicide Dive! Both women lay on the floor, and Tommy Knocker starts a count...}
Vasco Dias: This could end in a double countout, Morasco! We'd have chaos!
Terri Morasco: Both women are moving, but just barely. Neither woman being able to answer the count is a very real possibility.
{The official makes it all the way to the count of eight, with the Black Widow being the first woman up. Serenity isn't far behind her, however. Cvetkova manages to hold onto the ropes but the official makes their way to check on her as sheās not looking in great shape. Holmes takes this opportunity to take a breather but as she does so she seeās some commotion in the ringside area asā¦ Allen Chaney appears through the crowd!? Heās carrying a chairā¦ and a large bag of popcorn as he opens up the steel chair to take a front row seat on the action. He takes a big handful and begins eating as he waves at Serenity who is immediately suspicious of his intentions. Holmes tries to yell at him to ask what heās doing but as she does so, a recovered Black Widow reaches overā¦ and rakes her eyes! Holmes goes into retreat, trying to create some distance. The Black Widow rushes her from behind though, ramming her shoulder-first into the steel ring post! Cvetkova rolls Holmes back inside, then follows her in. The Widow cinches Serenity up for an Inverted Suplex Slam, and plants her hard! Cvetkova drifts back into the ropes before delivering a "Poison Sole"! The Black Widow makes a cover. The official slides into position for a count, and the Black Widow scores the three count for the pinfall victory!}
Vasco Dias: What is this absolute clown doing out here!? I demand a video replay, heās just distracted out Invictus champion!
Terri Morasco: It looks like Serenityās associations has got her caught up in a bigger pictureā¦
Vasco Dias: It looks like that moron ā who hasnāt got a ticket by the way security ā has cost her the match!
Terri Morasco: It is a big win over a very tough competitor; but she is going to have a number of equally tough tests to go in order to call herself the Heiress to the Throne.
{"Shotgun" by Leaked Footage is playing. The Black Widow rolls out of the ring, not even giving the official a chance to raise her hand. She walks backward up the ramp, smiling at Serenity as the crowd boos and Allen Chaney puts his feet up on the barrier, clearly very pleased with himself. }
------------------------------- SEGMENT 2000 Word Limit Participant: Dean Harper and Jess Fowler Dean addresses his actions alongside his accomplice Jess Fowler in a secure location. -------------------------------
{The camera comes on to a dark room.}
Dean Harper: The things I do for love.
{A light turns on above Dean sitting on the large antique trunk. The trunk, worn and weathered with intricate carvings, seems to creak and groan beneath his weight. As the minutes with Dean looking directly at the camera seem to drag on ā¦the sound is more than just the creaking of old wood; it's as if something inside is struggling, creating a symphony of muffled thumps and rustling. The trunk's brass fittings glint in the dim light, adding to the eerie atmosphere. His posture is relaxed despite the thumping.}
Dean Harper: There are several reasons I would be more than justified to do what I did. The Murder made its debut by attacking me after a match. I could mention Brooklyn sending Tarella after me. The coma Caleb put me in under Rowanās orders. I could also mention Rowan putting a bounty on my head for the sin of protecting her and the rest of The Packās jobs by bending the knee to Verona. The way Rowan made me her weapon. The torturing, the breaking me apart and putting me back together in her image.
{Dean shakes his head slowly.}
Dean Harper: No. She was visiting Damien. DAMIEN.
{Dean slams his fist against the trunk.}
Dean Harper: A demon who had made it her lifeās mission to destroy everything I love to ensure I have nothing but ash to understand the depths of the betrayal she believes I committed against her? I couldnāt let that stand.
{Dean leans back on the trunk.}
Dean Harper: Maybe Brooklyn thinks Rowan is not capable of hurting a child. Of using a child in the little cold war sheās waging. You may have been her favorite but I knew her best. Yes, she would.
{The trunk makes a muffled sound.}
Dean Harper: My target was Rowan. But there wasā¦collateral. that is the side effect of picking the side they did of course. I never wanted to take public credit for what happened. I did what I had to do, what no one else could do. Warren agreed and encouraged it. To protect Damien from whatever the next move was. But The Murder wouldnāt stop sniffing around. I guess with all the kidnapping we did in those days it might be hard to remember we kidnapped Fowler too. I simply used the code word Rowan put in their brainpan of all the thralls to give them a blackout and put a bloody tool in their hand. Someone had to take the blame. I thought itād be a nice gift for you, little sister. Someone easy to get revenge on.
{Dean smiles.}
Dean Harper: But I will not apologize for anything I did to keep my family safe from Her. Iād do it again. In a heartbeat.
------------------------------- MAIN EVENT HEIR TO THE THRONE SINGLES MATCH Madjinn vs. Nick Knight -------------------------------
{ Ecstasy Of Gold starts to play over the sound system as Nick Knight steps onto the entrance ramp. The wide-brimmed hat, trench coat, and plague doctorās mask of āThe Savior of Professional Wrestlingā have been stripped away leaving only the plain black leather pants and snakeskin boots of āThe Slayer of Gods.ā }
Alison Valance: Now making his way to the ring from Hollywood, California he is the reigning and defending IWF Invictus Champion Nick Knight!!!
{ Knight slowly makes his way towards the ring dragging the Invictus Championship belt across the arena floor. Once he reaches ringside, he gives the ten pounds of gold a wild toss into the ring before rolling in behind it. The camera zooms in on the belt as Nick picks it up showing off the dents, dings, and scratches that cover the gold plates. }
Terri Morasco: After losing the Invictus Championship, Nick Knight was placed in the Heir to the Throne and this is his chance! Heās had few opportunities at the world championship, and heās gotten closer every single time heās challenged for it. This could finally be his time!
Vasco Dias: Not with the likes of Madjinn! Keep in mind that Madjinn has fought in Heir to the Throne three timesā
Terri Morasco: Nick has done it four.
Vasco Dias: THREE TIMES! And he has been in the finals two years in a row, and the most points the year before that!
Terri Morasco: Points donāt matter if you canāt deliver at the end of it.
{ The lights throughout the arena suddenly go outā¦replaced by pink and blue strobe lights as the music begins to kick in. }
I'm good, yeah, I'm feeling alright Baby, I'ma have the best fucking night of my life And wherever it takes me, I'm down for the ride Baby, don't you know I'm good, yeah, I'm feeling alright 'Cause I'm good, yeah, I'm feeling alright Baby, I'ma have the best fucking night of my life And wherever it takes me, I'm down for the ride Baby, don't you know I'm good, yeah, I'm feeling alright
{ The fog fills the stage, as Madjinn comes marching out from behind the tunnel with a vape held to his lips ā he takes a hit off of it while looking over the audience, and The Black Widow crawls out barely visible from the fog, and she crawls underneath Madjinn before finally straightening her posture while remaining on her knees in front of him for the traditional starting pose. Madjinn reaches to her hair and gives a firm tug on it, that only excites her. The golden eyes gaze forward at the camera, and she gives a longing gaze of her own at the camera before finally standing up ā she leads the way down the ramp, while Madjinn heads toward the audience and blows the vape back in one of their faces, leading to the man in the front row lunging forward but security is there to stop him. }
Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen! On his way to the ring ā accompanied by The Black Widow! HE! IS! { Her voice shakes a little, as if sheās clearly reading off of a note. } The former LONGEST! REIGNING! IWF WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPION! The YOUNGEST! IWF MENāS WORLD CHAMPION! THE TAG TEAM EXTRAORDINAIRE! HE! IS! THE! MAD! PRINCE! MAAAAADDDDDJJJJJIIIIINNNNNNNNNN!!!!!
Terri Morasco: That was a bit of a mouthful.
Vasco Dias: He is all those things and many more!
{ Madjinn spreads his arms and takes a bow to the audience, all the while they continue to shower him with boos ā he pays no mind to them as Brandy hops to the ring apron, holding a wide stanceā¦Madjinn slides under her legs, stopping just on the other side of the ropes as he turns to lay on his back, and Brandy steps between the ropes, dropping on top of him to give a very provocative display for the audience. She moves off of him, taking his vape from him as she does and rolls out of the ring, before hitting the vape. Madjinn kips to his feet, and cracks his neck while tossing his tie to The Black Widow, and then unbuttons his shirt and flings that out. He moves to his own corner and closes his eyes momentarily while waiting for the bell to sound. }
Vasco Dias: Just a little cat nap, I imagine.
Terri Morasco: Why do they have to have such displays in public?
{ At the sound of the bell, Madjinn and Nick Knight circle the ring ā Knight looking ready to take the action to the center of the ring, and Madjinn goes in for a test of strength! But at the last moment, Madjinn backs away and scoffs as he backs into the corner and rests against it, taunting Knight all the while. Knight doesnāt look amused by his antics, and adjusts his waistband while pointing for Colt Collins to get Madjinn to the center of the ring. }
Terri Morasco: Nick Knight is ready for this match to get underway, but Madjinn seems to just be toying with him.
{ The Black Widow hops to the ring apron, as she and Madjinn begin exchanging a few words with each other. Colt Collins calls for Madjinn to come to the center of the ring to fight Knight, as Knight paces back and forth. }
Vasco Dias: Heāll fight him when heās ready. When heās ready, folks! Settle down!
{ The Black Widow hops down from the ring apron, and Madjinn respects Coltās instructions as he moves back toward the center of the ring ā Knight and Madjinn again look to lock up in the center of the ring, and as they near each other, Madjinn ducks under and rushes to the far corner where he then shakes his head at the audience and waves off Knight as if heās childās play, but he isnāt there for long when Knight takes matters into his own hands by coming in with a body splash pinning Madjinn between himself and the corner! Madjinn grunts from the hit, and Knight spins him around beginning to hit him with closed fists, and elbows aimed for the skull, all while getting the crowd excited and amped up as the match has truly started! Colt is there to tell Knight to watch the closed fists, but he pays no mind to him, as he then sails Madjinn over with a t-bone suplex! }
Terri Morasco: One way or another, Nick Knight is going to get this match going!
Vasco Dias: He blindsided him!
Terri Morasco: The bell rung!
{ Madjinn rolls through, cringing after the suplex, but Knight is right there to meet him as he gets back to his feet and is there with several more punches and chops that send Madjinn back into the corner. Nick then takes him by the wrist and flings him across the ring with as much force as he can muster, causing Madjinn to bounce off of the corner, clutching his chest, and pivots right into a huge clothesline from Nick Knight! Knight immediately pushes all of his weight against Sabinās shoulders, going for the cover. }
ONE! TWO! MADJINN KICKS OUT!
{ Outside of the ring, The Black Widow places her hands on the ring apron but remains rather stoic. Inside of the ring, Knight controls Madjinn back to his feet, and Madjinn answers with a rake of the eyes! But as if by instinct, Knight rakes Madjinnās eyes in retaliation, hindering both of them for the time being ā Colt Collins waves it off as he sees it as an eye for an eye relatively quickly. Knight is the first to recover and drives a heavy knee to his midsection before hitting a clubbing blow against his back, and pulls him into a front headlock before finally taking him up and over with the LA LA LAND SUPLEX! Knight goes again for the cover! }
ONE! TWO! MADJINN WITH A SHOULDER UP!
Terri Morasco: Nick Knight is not the type of person that Madjinn should have played with to start things off, because now heās been in trouble this whole time. It seems like Nick Knight is there with an answer for everything, and it has been all Nick!
Vasco Dias: Did you see him rake his eyes, though?! Colt Collins should be disqualifying him right now!
{ Madjinn is slower to get up this time, and Knight looks to keep the momentum on his side as he controls The Mad Prince back to his feetā¦but just then, Madjinn starts firing back with shots of his own! It seems like a fire finally was lit under the former world champion as heās trying to hit Knight with everything he has, and Knight is trying to fire up but a quicker Madjinn is able to beat him to the punch every single time! Knight uses his hands to block as much as he can to little avail, as The Black Widow nods her head in approval of Madjinn getting fired back into the match, but just then, Knight grapples with Madjinn before delivering a swift low blow with a knee strike! The shot goes unnoticed by Colt Collins, and is difficult to see from any angle. }
Terri Morasco: It looked like Madjinn was finally coming into this match, but Nick Knightāwell, I think that he may have hit him with a low blow.
Vasco Dias: And youāre just ignoring it!
Terri Morasco: It wasnāt a clear shot! But, I mean, even if he did, Madjinn hasnāt been known for fighting fair so it kind of takes the meaning of fighting fire with fire.
{ Madjinn grimaces as he tries to recover from the low blow, but Knight is right there with added pressureā¦he delivers a solid haymaker to Madjinn that sends him reeling toward the ropes, and Knight looks now for an opportunity to further the attack against Madjinn by running the far ropes ā just as he hits the ropes, The Black Widow is able to grab his ankle and almost trip him up! Knight turns and is shouting at her, even spits at her, while Colt Collins is trying to figure out what happened, and while Knight is distracted, Madjinn blindsides him! Knight goes against the ropes, and Madjinn continues his own attack with a series of kicks and knees to his back, placing his neck against the middle rope and using his knee to choke the life out of him! Colt counts to four before Madjinn releases and backs up, directing Collinsās attention with him and The Black Widow goes on the ring apron, pulling on Knightās head to choke him further! }
Vasco Dias: Thatās what he deserves for all the shortcuts heās been trying to take this match!
Terri Morasco: The crowd isnāt even sure how to respond to this because both of them have been using shady tactics.
{ She releases the choke she has on Knight just as Colt is turning around, and he starts questioning her to which she nonchalantly shakes her head and shrugs when asked what happens.
Madjinn pulls Knight back to his feet, and sails him over with a GARGOYLE SUPLEX! Knight rolls through on the landing, but still having taken some damage, Madjinn is right there with a stiff kick before raining in with elbows against Knight, and then grabs him by the head and runs him into the turnbuckle now smashing his head repeatedly against the corner! Blood starts spilling everywhere from Knight getting busted open, as Colt is trying to regain control over the situation ā Knight crawls back to his feet, staring through the crimson eyes as he tries to get up but is met with a ROLLING GUILLOTINE CHOKE! Madjinn applies pressure with the hold, looking to get the submission victory, but Knight is holding on. }
Terri Morasco: Knight has nowhere to go! He may be forced to tap out, and you have to imagine that heās not wanting the match to end like thisā¦Madjinn has been one of the few, if not even probably the only person who has forced Nick Knight to tap out! Imagine if he can do it again!
Vasco Dias: Heās going to! This is the end of the road for Nick Knight!
{ Knight battles to get an arm between himself and Madjinn, trying to wriggle himself free, but Madjinn has a good lock on the hold ā Knight still persists and demonstrates his resilience and strength by picking Madjinn up; Madjinn now off the mat, still is trying to keep the hold locked in, but Knight runs him against the corner! Madjinn still holds on! A second time against the corner! Madjinn still holds on! A THIRD TIME! Madjinn finally loosens his grip, and falls to a standing base against the corner ā Knight is able to take a step back, and charges in right away for a shoulder thrust aimed for his midsection, but Madjinn jumps over and takes him over with a SUNSET FLIP! }
ONE! TWO! KNIGHT KICKS OUT!
Terri Morasco: Madjinn almost snuck away a win right there, and Iām surprised that Knight was able to kick out as he still needs a moment to regain a proper flow of oxygen.
Vasco Dias: He shouldāve just tapped out!
{ Madjinn rolls backwards, as Knight goes back to a seated position ā Madjinn comes in with a basement front dropkick, sending Knight back on the mat and Madjinn covers him, this time using the ropes as leverage just as Colt is in position and unable to see the ropes. }
ONE! TWO! THRā KICKOUT!
{ Knight, just in the nick of time, is able to kick out, and Colt calls for it. Madjinn has some choice words with Colt while The Black Widow is also reinforcing that it was a three count. Madjinn intimidates Colt into the corner, allowing Knight to take some time, and he lunges forward rolling Madjinn into a schoolyard cover! Colt goes for the count, but just as he is in position, Madjinn rolls backwards out of the cover and is quick to his feetā¦he launches forward with the ODE TO APHRODITE! The knee sends Knight to the mat, and Madjinn goes for the cover. }
ONE! TWO! THREā KICKOUT!
{ Madjinn and The Black Widow are in disbelief that Nick Knight mustered the will to kick out. Heās becoming more and more frustrated that the match isnāt over yet, as Knight is slowly trying to get to his feetā¦ }
Terri Morasco: I donāt know how Knight did it, but he kicked out! The Ode to Aphrodite, a move that shouldnāt be taken lightly because it was his finisher for a while! A move that he was able to use to end matches in seconds!
Vasco Dias: colt really needs to learn to count, because I donāt think this match should be going on anymore! Madjinn has now had two three counts, but that idiot of a referee doesnāt seem to know what comes after ātwoā!
{ An infuriated Madjinn snatches Knight by the head and drags him back to a standing position ā he looks out at the crowd for a moment as he signals for the end and is looking to plant him with THE MAD GAZE!
KNIGHT SPINS OUT OF IT! Knight is able to pull Madjinn in with a short-arm, and then hits him with the NON-DAIRY CREAMER! He scrambles for the cover, with The Black Widow trying to get Coltās attention before he can count ā she succeeds, as the crowd counts. }
ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX!
{ Becoming irritated that the bell hasnāt sounded yet, Nick Knight turns to get Coltās attention, as he now gets face to face with The Black Widow who doesnāt back away from the threat that Nick Knight isā¦Colt is trying to stay between them, and instructing The Black Widow off of the ring apron, to which she of course doesnāt abide. Madjinn is able to finally get to his knees and crawls over to Nick Knight before delivering a grand low blow to Nick Knight! The Black Widow hops from the ring apron, and Knight turns around as Madjinn sets him up and drops him fast with THE MAD GAZE! He goes straight into the cover. }
ONE! TWO! THREE!
DING! DING! DING!
Terri Morasco: I donāt believe it! Madjinn just stole this one!
Alison Valance: Your winner by way of pinfall! THE MAAAAADDDDD PRIIIINNNNNCCCCCEEEEEE! MAAAAADDDDDJJJJJIIIIINNNNNNNNNN!
Vasco Dias: Nick Knight has no one to blame but himself! He took his eyes off the prize to talk to The Black Widow, when he shouldāve known that he needed to stay focused on the former world champion!
{ Madjinn stands tall in the center of the ring, holding his arms up in success ā Brandy joins him back in the ring, as she hands him something, and Madjinn lights up a cigarette in the center of the ring, taking a heavy drag as he walks out of the ring with an arm around his girlfriend. }
Terri Morasco: Nevertheless, Madjinn advances in Heir to the Throne in our main event.
{ As Madjinn continues to celebrate we suddenly go backstage where a visibly irritated Roberto Verona is walking towards the car park followed by members of his Legion when he is suddenly caught up with by Jennie Fenix. }
Jennie Fenix: Mr. Verona, I am glad I caught you, I just wanted to explain...
Roberto Verona: I don't think any explanation is necessary.
Jennie Fenix: Please, sir, I think things are getting out of hand, I'd really like to try and resolve things before -
Roberto Verona: Before they what? Escalate?
Jennie Fenix: I had no idea that Allen would... but that is besides the point, I really do believe there is an amicable solution to all this if we just talked -
{ Verona raises his hand. }
Roberto Verona: Oh, we will talk. Next week. I expect to see you there.
{ Before Jennie can say anything else Roberto turns and walks away, as she tries to catch up to him she suddenly stops dead in her tracks as the grinning face of Randon Haynes is stood by the door of Verona's limo, holding it open for him. }
Randon Haynes: I'm sorry about your inconveniences this evening, sir, allow me - we have lots to discuss about Odyssey.
{ Verona steps inside, swiftly followed by Randon who smiles from ear to ear at Jennie before climbing in after him, with the show coming to a close on the increasingly concerned face of Fenix as we go off the air. }
