TORNADO TAG TEAM MATCHBella Morte vs. The Murder (Mai Everstone & Vivenne Rodgers) vs. Winston Family Values (Dixie Winston & Gretchen Winston)
-------------------------------
Terri Morasco: Hello everyone, and welcome to Lineage! I'm Terri Morasco, seated alongside my broadcast partner- Vasco-Dias- and we're coming to you live from the K-Arena Yokohama!
Vasco Dias: It's going to be a wild night, Morasco, I can feel it! Speaking of wild, however, we're going to kick things off with some Tornado tag action!
Terri Morasco: Yes, we are! Let's turn it over to Alison Valance for the introductions!
{Alison is standing in the ring, ready.}Alison Valance: The following opening contest is a tornado tag match and is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first...
{Arena lights dim, and a hush falls over the crowd. Suddenly, the opening notes of "Wild Ones" by Jelly Roll and Jessie Murph blare through the speakers. The jumbotron lights up with a dynamic graphic of a roaring lion and the words "Winston Family Values" emblazoned across the screen.}Alison Valance: About to make their way to the ring, the team of Dixie and Gretchen Winston!
{Gretchen, the powerhouse, flexes her muscles and lets out a roar, showcasing her impressive physique. Dixie Winston's presence commands immediate attention. The eldest Winston, Dixie exudes confidence and leadership. She raises a fist in the air, and the crowd responds with a thunderous cheer. Both women make their way to the ring.}Terri Morasco: No matter where we go, audiences everywhere love this family, Vasco. They're strong, tough as nails competitors. In many ways, they're also a lot like your average Joe, or Jane.
Vasco Dias: A lot of people are stupid, a fact I am very much aware of. I didn't need you to remind me of that point, Morasco. These Winston Sisters don't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning though, but we'll see, if as promised, they can make an impression on either Bella Morte and the Murder; or they just end up a stain on the canvas in the end.
{Alison readies herself for another introduction as the Winston sisters discuss strategy in a corner behind her.}Alison Valance: And one of their opponents...
{A high-pitched female scream causes the lights to flicker in the arena. As the rebellious yell seamlessly transitions to a soft chilling female laughter, the lights die completely. In the darkness a lone voice questions.}āNow I lay me down to sleep
Six feet down beneath concrete
If I should die before I wake
Did I make peace or a mistake?ā
{During this question, the entranceway fills with purple smoke. After the question, Abigail emerges from the coloured smoke alone, under a soft blue hue and to a mixed reaction. The lyrics of āAfterlifeā by Citizen Soldier accompany her walk down the ramp. She clenches her jaw before pausing in the middle of the ramp, dropping to her knees and looking heavenward. She flings her arms out either side of her, causing more purple smoke to fill the ramp before the lights go out again briefly.
When they return a few moments later, just after the chorus, Eternity is stood behind Abigail in her hat, veil and sleeveless black leather trench coat. Abigail rises slowly, cracks her neck slightly and continues her journey down the ramp in the comforting shadow of death, alone no longer. Abigail walks up the steps, not to heaven, but into the ring, Eternity close behind. They move together, Eternity separates herself only to place her hat on a ring post, before reuniting in the middle of the ring.
Once reunited, with Eternity stood firm behind her still, Abigail drops to her knees and lets out a rebellious yell heavenward as she throws her head back, looking up at Eternity, who has her head bowed down towards Abigail, eyes closed. Eternity places a hand on each of Abigailās shoulders before she opens her eyes again. The two women now share a quiet moment gazing into each otherās soul. Abigail breathes heavily, whilst Eternity doesnāt seem to breathe at all. The music slowly fades and the lights return to normal as each woman slips off her entrance attire, standing side by side now, ready to compete.}Terri Morasco: Two of the three teams are out, Vasco, as we take a long look at Bella Morte. They may not be as bonded as blood relatives; but when you look at this team, they have so many ways they can beat you. You have the power of Eternity, and that brawling grit of Abigail--
Vasco Dias: They have an aura, too, Morasco. In this business, winning a match can be as much mental as it is physical; and when you have to stand across the ring from someone as accomplished as Eternity, or as violent as Abigail -with all of the presence that surrounds them- for a lot of people, that's going to do something to your psyche.
Terri Morasco: Does a lack of tag team experience hurt them against more established teams, though?
Vasco Dias: That's why we're having the match, Morasco- to find out.
{Alison raises the microphone to her lips for the final introduction.}Alison Valance: And their opponents...
{The lights throughout the arena flicker and go black, with several of the lights around the entrance seeming to overload, sending sparks flying down the stage. One by one, the screens flicker back to life showing a harvest moon hanging in a cloudy sky as the sound of fluttering wings and screaming crows fills the building. The screens soon swarm with the silhouettes of these birds, drowning out the moon and filling the arena once more in darkness as the opening strings of āThe Devilās Gonna Comeā by Raphael Lake & Royal Baggs begins to play.}āThe Broken and Fallen, dangled souls been sent to burn,
Nowadays they been calling, telling me soon itās gonna be my turnā¦ā{A dark red spotlight hits the stage, revealing two figures standing- Vivienne Rodgers and Mai Everstone. They stand together, in stillness before flames ignite in lines down the sides of the entrance ramp. Vivienne ad Mai advance with confident, inevitable certainty.}
āNow I knowā¦ the Devilās gonna come when the sun goes downā¦ā{The two of them take the ring. Red light and smoke fill ringside as the duo glare into the audience.}Vasco Dias: These girls are my pick to walk out of this match with their hands raised, Morasco! Remember, you heard it here first! And what a night it will be for the Murder when Viv and Mai take this match, and later, April becomes the Heiress to the Throne!
Terri Morasco: Given the turmoil the group has endured lately, that could be a huge morale boost, if it comes to fruition. I just have my doubts.
Vasco Dias: I'll be sure to let them know you said that.
{The referee for this contest, Tommy Knocker, calls for the opening bell.}
Ding!
{The action starts fast! Vivienne makes a beeline for Abigail, with both women starting to brawl with each other. Mai heads straight for the Winston's corner, taking the fight right to Dixie in the corner. Gretchen and Eternity pair off near the center of the squared circle, throwing some heavy shots at each other!}Terri Morasco: The Murder sure didn't waste any time kickstarting the fight in this contest, Vasco!
Vasco Dias: It's chaos and pandemonium, Morasco! I love it!
Terri Morasco: Under the rules of this match, you won't see any tags. All three teams can fight in the ring at once.
Vasco Dias: That's right! The referee has one job, which is to count the pin or accept a submission!
{Vivienne dumps Abigail to the outside, landing her on the floor. Rodgers goes out after her, giving her no quarter. Meanwhile, in what was the Winston corner to begin the match, Mai is delivering some punishing shoot kicks to Dixie Winston! Every shot lands with a loudly audible sound! Eternity turns and unleashes a furious discus clothesline on Gretchen that nearly takes the powerhouse out of her boots!}Terri Morasco: Eternity caught all of that shot, Vasco!
Vasco Dias: Gretchen must've done something to piss her off the way she wound up for that one!
Terri Morasco: Vivienne just bounced Abigail's head off the ring apron like a basketball on the outside! This is a fight!
Vasco Dias: Not only will a move like that hurt, but if your nose hits that apron, that can make your eyes water, making it harder to see, Morasco.
{Mai Everstone cinches Dixie Winston up and quickly takes her over with a snap suplex, landing Dixie on the mat. A few feet away, Eternity lifts Gretchen up and plants her with a snap scoop powerslam! Viv catches Abigail with a spin kick on the outside as the war wages on. Mai leaps in the air, landing on Dixie's abdomen with a double foot stomp! In the midst of the chaos, Eternity makes a cover on Gretchen. The referee slides into position for a count...}
One!
Two!
No!!!
{Mai, off the foot stomp, dives onto Eternity with a double ax-handle to break up the count!}Vasco Dias: Mai saving the match for her own team there, even if it meant having to save Gretchen from defeat! Smart, heads-up wrestling from Mai there!
Terri Morasco: It really was. A match like this can be so difficult to compete in because there is almost always something going on around you, and you need to be continually aware.
{Abigail turns the tide in her favor against Viv, blasting her with a European Uppercut underneath the chin! The fiery Abigail flings Daniels over with a hairmare, and only a thin pad cushions Viv from landing on the concrete floor. Everstone builds up some steam inside the ring though, launching herself through the ropes, to the floor, and taking out Abigail with a suicide dive that knocks Abigial back into the steel security railing!}
Vasco Dias: What a beautiful move by Mai! That was magnificent!
Terri Morasco: Will you sit down, Vasco!
{Inside of the ring, the Winston Sisters have regrouped, working together to beatdown Eternity with some clubbing style blows before they put some boots to her. The Winstons continue to work as a well-oiled machine, bringing Eternity up and delivering a double-suplex to her. The teamwork continues as Gretchen lifts her own partner, using Dixie as a weapon, and bodyslamming her down on top of Eternity. Dixie rolls to the floor as Gretchen tries for a cover on Eternity. The official slides into position for a count...}
One!
Two!!
No!!!
{Eternity kicks out with authority!}Terri Morasco: Some double-team offense from the Winstons leading to the near-fall there, Vasco, but Eternity showing she has a ton of fight left in her with the kick out!
Vasco Dias: I kinda like that idea of slamming your partner on people, Morasco! Can I try that on you?
Terri Morasco: You can try; but I will kick you square in man-land if you do.
Vasco Dias: Nevermind then.
{Mai locks up with Abigail on the outside, driving some Muay-Thai style knees into Abby's body. Taking their turn to work together, Viv follows up by German Suplexing Abigail onto the hard floor! Dixie rocks Mai with a solid, stinging uppercut underneath her adversary's chin! Up above them, between the ropes, Dixie's sister, Gretchen, whips Eternity into the turnbuckles hard! Gretchen charges after her. Eternity moves to evade, and Gretchen's chest catches the top buckle on the missed stinger splash! Gretchen comes away holding her chest. Eternity capitalizes, showing off her strength as she lands three successive rib breakers on Gretchen, a move that Eternity calls "Ode to Eden"!}Terri Morasco: Eternity really zeroing in on those ribs of Gretchen, Vasco!
Vasco Dias: The last thing you want, if your Gretchen, is to suffer a broken rib. It makes it hard to breathe, and the longer this match goes, the bigger of a liability you become to your team's chances of victory.
{On the floor, Dixie isn't faring much better than her sister is, at the moment. The Murder work as a unit to toss Dixie into the steel security railing! Not finished there, Viv lifts Dixie up and tosses her over the rail, into the crowd! Vivienne goes over the rail after Dixie. She grabs two handfuls of Winston's hair and aggressively leads her up a set of steps in the crowd. Abigail takes advantage, tackling Mai while Mai was watching Viv, and taking her to the ground with a Lou Thesz style press! Abigail unloads on Mai with some savage strikes to the face of Mai!}Terri Morasco: Abigail is hammering Mai, Vasco!
Vasco Dias: This is completely uncalled for!
{Between the ropes, Eternity continues her offense on Gretchen by driving her face into the canvas with a surfboard facecrusher that Eternity calls the "Sole Survivor"! Eternity drops a leg across the throat of Gretchen, and then moves into a cover. The referee slides into position for a count...}
One!
Two!!
No!!!
{Gretchen barely kicks out before the count of three. A thunderous sound booms in the background as Abigail whips Mai into the steel ring stairs hard enough to dislodge them! Up in the crowd, Vivienne snatches a soda from one of the fans in attendance and tosses it into Dixie's face to loud boos. Vivienne chases a few fans from their seats, and then powerbombs Dixie onto the now empty chairs!}Terri Morasco: That was absolutely vile! The sound of Dixie's body hitting those chairs was sickening!
Vasco Dias: That was a chiropractic adjustment gone wrong, Morasco!
{Abigail has already started to ascend the turnbuckles as Eternity lifts Gretchen into position for a Glam Slam, and the Bella Morte members work in tandem to execute the "Blacklight" on Gretchen Winston! Eternity goes for a cover as Abigail locks eyes with Viv up in the crowd. The referee slides into position for a count...}
One!
Two!!
No!!!
{Mai grabs Tommy Knocker by the ankle, ripping him out of the ring underneath the ropes, and dropping him on the floor to stop the count!}Terri Morasco: That might have been in, Vasco, had it not been for Mai Everstone saving the match for her team by laying hands on the referee!
Vasco Dias: Desperate times call for desperate measures, Morasco!
{Eternity and Abigail head out to the floor, overwhelming Mai with an assault! Daniels grabs a steel folding chair and starts marching back down toward the ring! While beating down Mai, neither Eternity, nor Abigail, spot an incoming Vivienne until it's far too late! Viv doesn't hold back, striking Eternity across the back with the steel chair before lifting it up and bashing Eternity in the skull with the chair! Abigail saves her partner from suffering any more damage, however, by lunging into Viv with a spear that nearly cuts her in half! The bang-bang maneuvers continue as Gretchen jumps over the top rope, landing on Abigail with a diving crossbody!}Vasco Dias: There isn't a single person left standing in that ring, Morasco! Everyone is down!
Terri Morasco: These women are laying their bodies on the line, doing everything in their power to win this match!
Vasco Dias: When you've already sacrificed this much, you don't want it to be in vain. This is the point you pull out all the stops!
{A few moments pass with all of the competitors down. Mai is the first person up and is soon joined by Vivienne. With Eternity still suffering the effects of the chair shot, they target Abigail. They lay the chair out on the ground, and then work together to drive Abigail's head into it with a Butterfly DDT and Wheelbarrow Facebuster combination! With both Bella Morte members down, Viv brings Gretchen up and rolls her back inside of the ring. Mai works to get the referee up. Vivienne absolutely tattoos a kneeling Gretchen in the face with "Balor's Gaze" before going for a cover. Mai rolls a groggy Tommy Knocker back inside, and the official makes a count.}
One!
Two!!
Three!!!
{The official calls for the bell.}
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
{Mai goes up into the ring to celebrate with Vivienne as the crowd boos. The Murder's music plays over the arena speakers as the other two teams lay fallen.}
Vasco Dias: I told you, Morasco! I told you! The Murder have started off the night with a big victory! April's going to win later! It's going to be glorious!
Terri Morasco: It was a hard-fought match; but Viv and Mai did manage to pull it out in the end. Rather or not April wins later, that remains to be seen.
{Vivienne and Mai roll out of the ring, backing up the ramp with their arms draped over each other as they survey the scene. Suddenly Mai is launched forward from a running blow to the back of the head by Dean Harper, sending her tumbling down the ramp!}Vasco Dias: What in the hell is he doing!?
Terri Morasco: Dean turning his aggression on Vivienne now with a clothesline!
{Dean ruthlessly stomps away on Viv! After pummeling her with boots, he drags Viv up by her hair and spikes her head into the metal ramp with "Clipped Wings!" Vivienne lays motionless as Dean sits next to her, a sick smile on his face.}-------------------------------
IWF GLADIATORS CHAMPIONSHIP
SINGLES MATCHNate Harris (c) vs. Mystery Opponent
-------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following match is for the IWF GLADIATORS CHAMPIONSHIP!!
Vasco Dias: The first championship defense of the night! Are you excited?
Terri Morasco: Iād be more excited if I knew who the match was against.
{The pounding drums of āBoujee Nativesā hit over the PA, and Nate Harris struts out from the back, rolling his wrists and looking around at the crowd with a grin on his face. Nate saunters down the entrance ramp, winking at someone in the front row, and striding towards the apron. He walks around to the side of the ring, leaping up onto the apron and turning mid-jump to land on a knee, grabbing the second rope. Nate gets to his feet, spinning to the center of the apron and grinning as he is hyping the crowd. He hooks his arms over the top rope, backflipping over the ropes and back-rolling to his feet. Nate struts over to the corner, leaning back against the turnbuckles and smirking as he waits for the bell.}Alison Valance: First, weighing in at 215 pounds, standing at 6ā1āā from New Orleans, Louisianaā¦ your current IWF Gladiator Championā¦ NATE HARRIS!
Vasco Dias: His first defense, he seems excited about it.
Terri Morasco: And why wouldnāt he be? Hesā
{Static interupts the feed, between the static you can see the lights go out in the arena.}{When the feed seems to reconnect the lights are still flickering and you see Abraxes crawl into the ring behind Nate. Before the champion can react Abraxes hits Nate with a Slingshot Spear!}Vasco Dias: The match hasnāt even started yet!
{Nate gets back to his feet as Abraxes seems to chatter with his teeth. Nate shakes his head and looks to see where the Ref is but Abraxes hits Nate with a Hush followed by a CONSIGN TO DREAM. Abraxes stands over Nate, tilting his head before security runs down to the ring. The feed becomes static once more before Abraxes is gone and security is left looking for him. IWf cuts to commercial for IWF SHOP.}-------------------------------
CAGE MATCHw/ Special Guest Referee Roberto Verona
Serenity Holmes vs. Allen Chaney
-------------------------------
Terri Morasco: What a huge night so far and itās only about to get bigger!
Vasco Dias: Finally, Allen Chaney will get his comeuppance for interfering in Serenity Holmes business!
{ The Richard Pryor quote followed by the piano intro of āShimmy Shimmy Yaā plays and Allen emerges from the curtain.
āOoh, baby, I like it raw x4ā
Allen stops and looks around the crowd with a smirk until there is a change in attitude. He leans down to slam his fists on the ramp before popping up to release what can only be described as a roar.
'Shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy yam, shimmy yay
Gimme the mic so I can take it away
Off on a natural charge, bon voyage
Yeah, from the home of the Dodgers, Brooklyn squadā
Allen walks down the ramp, stopping every few steps to talk to fans about how his opponent has no clue what they're in for or how they smell like baked milk or how he saw them changing backstage and one of their testicles is comically bigger than the other.
āWu-Tang Killer Bees on a swarm
Rain on ya college ass, disco dorm
For you to even touch my skill
You gotta have the one killer Bee and he ain't gonna kill now
Chop that down, pass it all around
Lyrics get hard, quick cement to the ground
For any MC in any 52 states
I get psycho killer, Norman Bates'
Allen marches up the ring steps and enters the ring before going to his corner and sitting down focused but also kind of vibing to his own music.}Terri Morasco: Here comes perhaps one of the hottest talents in the industry ā and a man whose on a mission to reclaim what is rightfully his.
Vasco Dias: Oh please, what we are looking at is one of the most entitled man children in pro wrestling. All he had to do was learn a little humility but no, he always knows best.
Terri Morasco: You are, of course, an expert in humility, Vascoā¦
{ "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: Introducing on her way to the ring! 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 before running around the ring to show love to every possible fan in the atmosphere before staying in her designated corner, waiting for the next moment. }Vasco Dias: Finally, some actual talent. Our IWF Invictus champion has impressed the only person who truly matters ā maybe Chaney could take some lessons?
Terri Morasco: Ignoring youāre obvious bias, nobody can really deny that Holmes has proven her doubters wrong and shown she is champion material. Many are saying this could be her first step towards the biggest prize of them all.
Vasco Dias: If she keeps listening to Roberto, the world is her oyster.
{ āKing of the Worldā by Porcelain and the Tramps hits the PA system as the CEO of IWF, Roberto Verona, emerges from behind the curtains followed by his Legion and dressed in a referees shirt. The cage slowly begins to descend as he walks down the ramp and his Legion members begin to surround the ring. Verona waits for the structure to be secured as he smiles at members of the audience before finally entering through the cage door which is locked behind him. Verona looks at Allen who glares through him before nodding at Serenity Holmes. }Terri Morasco: Something tells me that this match wonāt be entirely smooth sailing for both competitorsā¦
Vasco Dias: Are you implying Mr Verona is biased? Quite the accusation, Iād hate for IWFās legal department to be aware of this slanderā¦
Terri Morasco: Are you kidding me?
Vasco Dias: I never joke about the integrity of our boss.
{ Both Serenity and Allen glare at one another as they begin to shareā¦ less than pleasant views as they walk towards one another. Roberto tries to keep them apart and reminds each competitor of the rules of the matchā¦ but neither seem all that interested in waiting! Allen and Serenity push forward and begin to throw punch after punch into each other as there is clearly no love lost between them. Verona stands back and calls for the bell as the crowd erupts at the frenetic opening pace of this encounter. Punch after punch lands as neither is able to gain the upper hand, but they also donāt seem too concerned as they just want to get their hands on one another! Elbows begin to fly along with kicks but neither Serenity or Allen is able to gain control but as long as they hit each other, neither seems all that concerned! }Terri Morasco: These two could not wait to get their hands on each other!
Vasco Dias: Get him!
{ The pair continue to trade fists before eventually Serenity is backed up into a corner where Chaney appears to gain a bit of an upper handā¦ before Verona intervenes to prevent him to continue punching her. Chaney doesnāt have time to argue ā although its within the rules ā as Holmes pushes out of the corner to hit him with a massive elbow to the jaw which sends him staggering in a bit of a daze. Roberto smiles as he walks away and Holmes is in hot pursuit, landing elbow after elbow into the back of his neck. Sensing her opportunity, she uses her agility to plant Allen with a Tornado DDT! Chaney tries to get back up but he finds himself eating a dropkick to the jaw which sends him back down to the mat. Holmes wastes little time establishing herself here as she plants Chaney back down firmly with a standing moonsault that finally knocks some of the wind out of him! }Terri Morasco: I think Allen is getting an early look into how his evening is about to unfoldā¦
Vasco Dias: He could always try following the rules. Just because you have an agenda against the official doesnāt mean he was incorrect.
Terri Morasco: I donāt disagree ā however, I am not the one with an agenda!
{ Holmes takes a moment to collect herself, happy that she has managed to get herself in control early on. She climbs up one of the turnbuckles and just as Allen seemed to be making his way back up to his feet, she hits him with a well-executed missile dropkick! Allen goes flying across the ring as Serenity follows him, landing a running splash as he tries to proper himself up in the corner. Holmes grabs his arm and pulls him into an arm drag which sends him flying again as she chases after him to hit a hurricanrana! Serenity is in her groove as she goes right back at Allen and begins to land a rain of forearm blows right into him, giving him absolutely no time whatsoever to gain any breathing space from her relentless assault.}Vasco Dias: Serenity is demonstrating exactly why she is a champion and Allen Chaney is a theoretical potential champion.
Terri Morasco: Nobody can deny the tenacity of Serenity Holmes, sheās champion for a reason.
Vasco Dias: And the only real champion in this matchā¦ I mean, besides the reigning, defending, undisputed IWF Imperial champion Roberto Verona, of course.
Terri Morasco: Iām not sure that ā you know what, I arenāt even going to argue with you.
{ Holmes hits another couple of forearm blows before leaping up to attempt to hit a drop kickā¦ but Allen manages to get his arms up to absorb most of the impact. As Holmes lifts herself up, Allen takes this chance to hit her with a super kick! He wates no time before hitting a standing somersault leg drop to knock the wind out of Holmes. Chaney grabs Serenity and plants her with a huge gutwrench suplex which sends her flying across the ring. Before she had a chance to really come around he moves swiftly to plant a nicely timed swinging neckbreaker before hitting the ropes to keep her firmly planted to the mat with a Lou Thesz Press! He stays mounted on Holmes to rain down fists before finally Verona intervenes, grabbing his first. Chaney stares at him before pulling his arm free as Roberto reminds him heās exceeded his punches. }Terri Morasco: Allen is back in this one and not a moment too soon for him, he was at risk of momentum swinging beyond him.
Vasco Dias: Somebody do something, this has got to be against the rules somehow!?
Terri Morasco: You canāt just outlaw basic wrestling offence because you dislike somebody!
{ Allen lifts himself up and immediately gets in Veronaās face, though the boss doesnāt back away. He reminds Chaney again but the Comedian isnāt interested, seemingly quite content to focus his ire on his tormentor. Finally he snaps, pushing Roberto backwards. Verona staggers but doesnāt fall, looking down as he seems to laugh to himself. Allen pushes him again, this time into the cage which appears to wipe the smile off Veronaās face. Allen yells at him before suddenly Verona lunges forward and pushes him backā¦ right over a crouching Serenity! Chaney barrels to the mat as he trips over her and Verona irons out the creases in his referee shirt. Chaney bounces back up and ducks a clothesline from Serenity before both of them hit the ropes. They come flying back towards each other and each leap through the air at the same time and collide mid-air before they crumple back towards the mat with a sickening thump. Both of them land very awkwardly as they writhe in pain and this match is firmly in the balance. }Terri Morasco: Oh my! Both competitors took a sickening bump here!
Vasco Dias: Somebody check on Serenity, she could be hurt!
Terri Morasco: What about Allen!?
Vasco Dias: Who cares?
{ Neither competitor is stirring as Verona takes his time to really check on how Holmes is doing, only carelessly nudging Allen with his foot when he does bother to see how he is. Holmes appears at least partially responsive as Chaney finally bats away his leg one last time, but neither is even close to lifting themselves up. Suddenly Verona motions towards his Legion and to the official outside. One of the members walks over to the ringside area to collect a steel chair before walking back towards the cage door as Verona orders it to be opened. Reluctantly, the official relents and removes the chain before opening the door. Roberto reaches between the ropes and collects the chair before ordering the door to be locked again. Inspecting the chair, Verona smiles before tossing it onto the mat in between the prone bodies of Serenity and Allenā¦ although noticeably marginally closer to Serenity. }Vasco Dias: Excellent gambit, sir! Letās make this interesting.
Terri Morasco: Oh, come on, this is absolutely ridiculous. This is clear interference!
Vasco Dias: Oh look, Terri Slanderasco as it again. You can clearly see that Mr Verona did not hand that weapon to any specific individual.
{ As both begin to stir, Holmes notices the chair and immediately grabs it before Allen has the chance. Allen dives for the chair but at the last second Serenity swipes it away leaving him on all fours. Serenity lifts herself up and raises the chair up above her head, steadying herself as Chaney has not time to escape from his precarious position. Serenity cracks Allen over the back with a sickening sound as Roberto smiles slyly, walking away with his hands in the air. Holmes begins to rain down another blow, then another and another! Allen rolls around his back arches as he yells in pain with each blow sounding harder than the last. Serenity is a woman possessed as she strikes hard at her opponent. }Vasco Dias: Karma really is a bitch, huh Morasco?
Terri Morasco: Why are you asking me?
Vasco Dias: Iād consider you an expert.
Terri Morasco: Unbelievable.
{ Serenity raises the chair ready to land another blow, but Chaney manages to barge into his midsection with all the strength he has left in him. Holmes tries to push him back down to hit him against but Allen once against manages to throw his body weight into her, gradually backing her towards the turnbuckles. With one last throw of the dice he lunges into her ribs, causing her to drop the chair. Serenity staggers out of the corner as Chaney reaches to grab to dislodged weapon! Allen cracks Holmes across the back as she winces in pain and staggers across the ring with Allen in hot pursuit, he manages to plant another blow as Holme tries to use the ropes for leverage. }Terri Morasco: Allen has finally found himself some breathing space from a brutal assault.
Vasco Dias: Iām not sure we should be championing a man using a weapon to violently assault somebody.
Terri Morasco: But you justā¦!
Vasco Dias: Real progressive, Terri.
{ Holmes finally manages to duck under another attempted swing of the chair, escaping the onslaught as Allen almost manages to catch himself in the face when his shot rebounds off the top rope. Taking a moment to avoid his own self induced calamity, Allen stumbles away and Serenity uses her adrenaline to leap onto the side of the cage and begin climbing! Allen seeās Holmes is almost at the top of the cage and using all the strength he has left he tosses the chair across the ring as he rushes over to follow her up. Holmes tries to keep him at bay with a kick but is also careful to avoid having her leg grabbed. The two struggle as each tries to reach the top of the cage before slowly but surely they both are able to grasp the top of the structure and slowly pull themselves onto the top. Both Serenity and Allen are sat atop the cage, their legs straddled to try and keep some sort of balance as they begin to land furious blows into one another. }Terri Morasco: This match is in the balance!
Vasco Dias: Serenity has the size advantage over Chaney here.
Terri Morasco: Did you just fat shame Allen Chaney?
Vasco Dias: Maybe he should eat less sandwiches.
{ Allen and Serenity continue to trade punches and elbows, landing blow after blow as neither is able to gain the upper hand. Just as one looks like they are about to tumble they manage to find their balance and return a blow as the crowd reacts audibly to each strike. Finally, after a vicious elbow to the jaw, Serenity is sent plummeting towards the mat belowā¦ but Verona catches her! Serenity takes a moment to collect herself as she was bracing to hit the mat and she looks at Verona who is staring up at the side of the cage. As she turns to meet his gaze she suddenly realises why he wasnāt moving as Allen Chaney comes flying off the side of the cage with a huge Senton Bomb right into the pair! Bodies go flying as Serenity is sent out of Veronaās grasp as the pair go flying across the ring whilst Allen hits the mat right on his side with a sickening thud. The crowd is electric as the human debris is scattered all over the ring. }Terri Morasco: Allen Chaney just took out Serenity Holmes ā and the boss!
Vasco Dias: His vicious radical campaign against match officials continues, somebody arrest him!
Terri Morasco: This crowd are going absolutely wild!
{ Allen clutches his ribs as he kicks at the mat to try and cope with some of the pain ā but through his grimacing he turns to see Verona laid flat out and begins to chuckle to himself, rolling as he does. Serenity isnāt moving either but nobody is looking in fantastic shape as the crowd is blowing the roof off for the two involved. Slowly but surely Allen begins to lift himself to his knees, looking over to the cage door. Bit by bit he begins to crawl ā willing himself ever closer as he tries to reach the means of escape. The crowd get louder and louder as they will him towards and finally he reaches out a handā¦ only to find the door remains closed!? Allen canāt believe it, he looks over at the official who is shaking their head and pointing towards Roberto who isnāt moving. Allen looks shocked but despite his attempts the door remains completely closed. }Terri Morasco: What the hell!? This is ridiculous!
Vasco Dias: This is the rules, Terri, the match official is unable to request the cage door be opened.
{ Allen continues to argue with the official who looks uneasily at the looming members of Legion stood beside them, repeatedly trying to remind Allen that he requires the match officialās consent. Realising any further argument is futile, Allen turns to double check that Roberto and Serenity are both still down before rushing up the side of the cage to the delight of the capacity crowd! As he climbs the sea of Legion members slowly begin to amass themselves around the side he has ascended. Allen spots this and tries to climb across to another side but he soon realises that regardless of where he plans to go ā Legion will follow. He grabs hold of the chain keeping the cage upright, taking a moment to asses his options before he begins to stare down at the Legion and grins. }Vasco Dias: No! Donāt do it! They have families ā I presume!
Terri Morasco: Allen Chaney is going to risk it all!
{ Allen crosses himself and takes one last deep breath before he leaps from the top of the cage! Cameraās flash throughout the arena as he barrels towards the gathered crowd below and plants firmly in the middle of the Legion! The crowd goes absolutely nuts with āHoly Shit!ā chants as the mass of bodies buckle and Allen Chaney vanishes into the swarm of enemies. In the ring Serenity is beginning to stir, looking around to realise that Allen is nowhere to be seen. She grabs hold of her hair, turning to look at Verona who is still down on the mat before slowlyā¦ the Legion begins to rise. Holmes stands to look as moments pass beforeā¦ suddenly, the group use their numbers advantage to lift up Allen Chaney onto their shoulders! The crowd begins to boo as Serenity turns around to see that Roberto Verona has suddenly sat up, laughing to himself as the Legion marches Allen back towards the cage where he orders the door to be opened. Passing Allen between them the Legion members gradually hoist him back over the ropes before they throw him back inside. }Terri Morasco: Are you genuinely kidding me!?
Vasco Dias: IWF cares about the planet, Morasco, weāre just safely recycling the trash.
Terri Morasco: This is absolutely ridiculous, Allen Chaney had this match won!
Vasco Dias: I donāt see his two feet on the mat, Morasco, do you? Then he hasnāt won a thing ā something he should be familiar with by now.
{ Chaney turns back around, staring at Verona and Serenity but before either of them can even so much as think of movingā¦ Allen darts for the wide open cage door! The crowd will him on as he climbs between the ropes as Holmes darts after him, reaching his arm whenā¦ what!? Suddenly a figure comes charging across the mats and slams the door into Allenās face!? The sound is absolutely sickening as Chaney falls back into the ring, almost completely unaware of where he is such was the strength of the impact. Holmes seeās her chance and rushes forward as Chaney is barely on his kneesā¦ planting him with a Red Bottoms. Chaney is motionless as she looks towards the door which I still shaking on its hinges as the hooded figure stands on the outside in between the Legion members who seem to have paved a path. The figure reaches on to the back of the hood, flinging it back to revealā¦ Caleb Canin!? }Terri Morasco: What the hell?! Cannin!?
Vasco Dias: Looks like somebody didnāt forget that Allen tried to steal their moment at Immortalsā¦
Terri Morasco: Thisā¦ why!?
{ Serenity turns to look at Verona who beckons her towards the door, looking down at Allen with a hint of conflict in her eyes. She shakes her head and walks over to the ropes, climbing out and slowly making her way down the steps before taking the final one, standing right next to Caleb. She turns to look at him before beginning to walk past the collected bodies at ringside and towards the ramp as her music plays. Caleb looks over at Verona who nods at him, before her jumps back over the barricades from where he came and slowly makes his way into the crowd. Roberto kneels down next to Allen and begins to speak to him, the cameraman picking up parts as the noise of the boos is deafening. }Roberto Verona: Iāll see you at Legacy, Allen. Weāll see if youāre ready to prove me wrong.
{ Verona stands up and begins to walk away as the cage slowly gets lifted up, but as he does so he is stoppedā¦ by a hand on his foot? Allen, stirring slightly, stares up at him, a trickle of blood pouring from his hair line as he grimaces in painā¦ with a defiant middle finger stuck right up at the CEO. Roberto looks down at him ā a little surprised ā but seemingly impressed as Chaney remains completely defiant. Allen finally lets go as Roberto climbs out of the ring, walking down the steps to ringside. Verona and his Legion begin to walk away as the crowd slowly erupts into cheers, celebrating as Allen Chaney pulls himself up to his feet, his face gradually becoming covered in blood as he stands defiant. Roberto looks over his shoulder, pausing for a moment, before resuming walking away as Chaney clutches his body in pain, but with the capacity crowd completely behind him. }Vasco Dias: Our IWF Invictus champion picks up a measure of vengeance tonight.
Terri Morasco: But how can the boss solve a problem like Allen Chaney, he refuses to back down!
Vasco Dias: Clearly Caleb hit him really hard, because heās not thinking straight!

HEIR TO THE THRONE FINALw/ Special Guest Commentator Warren Kane
Madjinn w/ The Black Widow vs. Pax Stormcrow
-------------------------------
Alison Valance: The following match is scheduled for one fall for the Heir to the throne finale!
Vasco Dias: Here we are after so many high profile matches. The finale of Heir to the throne.
Terri Morasco: You can feel the energy from the crowd!
{The lights change, flickering purple briefly, in time with the opening piano, quickly stopping as the drums kick in. When the lyrics of āLegacyā by Motionless In White begin, the lights settle on a softer, more stable golden yellow. The crowd are divided for Warren Harper as he emerges from behind the curtains wearing a simple leather jacket, with the World Championship secured around his waist and a smirk across his face.
He then heads towards the ring, head held high and proud, confident, solely focused on his own business in that ring. At the edge of the ring, he closes his eyes and takes a breath before jumping up onto the apron, walking along it and climbing the turnbuckle. He takes a moment to unhook his Championship from around his waist.}Alison Valance: As a Special guest on commentary for this match, your current Menās World Champion, Warren Harper!
{He then perches himself on the corner, cradling the title in his lap, head bowed and eyes closed. He takes a series of slow deep breaths, relaxing himself in a brief meditation almost. Warren finally raises his head, no longer looking down on anything, but ahead. He slowly opens his eyes and relaxes, confidently raising the title in his right hand, smiling again.
The music slowly fades away and the lights return to normal as he hops down into the ring, slings the belt over his shoulder. A true fighter and sportsman unlike so many in this business and in his bloodline before him. Warren was a much better man, he well and truly believed that now. He takes a moment to take in the crowds reaction before making his way to the commentator table.}
Vasco Dias: Well, not everyday we get the champion sitting with us.
Terri Morasco: Thanks for joining us, Warren.
Warren Harper: Thanks for having me. Happy to have a front row seat to one of the most intense Heir To The Throne finals weāve ever had. A repeat of last year and quite a story for both men. Each of them have made a strong case for why they feel they should win, and I look forward to us all finding out together who earns their shot at me here tonight.
{ The tron fills with lightning as static comes over the speakers. Slowly each current of electricity on the tron fizzles out until the word 'Skoden' (And the logo for Prairie Fiber remains in the lower right corner) At the sight of the unofficial war cry of Pax accompinied by Jack Ferriman appears on the tron the audience roars into chears as the opening rythmn of Stadium Pow wow thrums through the air.
As the singers kick into the song he pumps his fist in the air along with them before bounding down the ramp as the bass drops. He slaps hands with fans along the ramp as he makes his way down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope.
He makes a circle around the ring, arms pumping to work the crowd up before he jumps onto the second turnbuckle, lifting the hood of his coat back and looking up to the ceiling as he basks in the cheers from the crowd. He jumps down from the turnbuckle, shrugging out of his coat and handing it off to Jack before moving into his corner to crouch down in preperation for the match to begin }Alison Valance: First down to the match, standing at 6ā2, weighing in at 248, from Aitkin Minnesotaā¦ Pax Stormcrow!
{Jack does a war cry.}Vasco Dias: Pax has been on a tear! He went undefeated so far and has been showing that he has not lost a step since winning world champion.
Terri Morasco: He even beat Cyrus Daniels, to advance comfortably last week. A man who has had a hand in training you I understand. Does that concern you at all?
Warren Harper: No, why should it? Cyrus Daniels may have trained me to pace myself against powerhouses like Tytus Rost and himself, but Pax is a whole different calibre of wrestler. If he earns this tonight, none of Cyrusā training is going to help, Iām going to need a whole new strategy. What exactly that strategy should be is why Iām out here scouting both my potential challengers, seeing what they have up their sleeves so k know what cards to play myself.
{ The lights throughout the arena suddenly go outā¦despite the darkness, and for a few seconds of silence, the fog machines are heard whirring to life and soon filling the stage. The lights are 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 camera, standing from the outside of the tunnel, twists a couple of times to do an upside-down shot inside of the tunnel ā drowned out by light, and fog, the outline of the second finalist of Heir to the Throne can be seenā¦the camera takes a quick glimpse inside of the ring to Pax Stormcrow as he paces back and forth. Back on the stage, the camera continues circling as we see The Mad Prince throw his arms out as if a bird were spreading its wings! He walks out from the tunnel with his arms still held out. The spotlight enshrouds him and he holds the pose for several seconds when Alisonās voice can be heard resonating throughout the arena. }Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen! { She fumbles open another paper that had been handed to her for the introduction this week. } ON! HIS! WAY! TO! THE! RING!{ Widening his stance, he lowers his hand into his pocket and pulls out a vape, hitting it, all the while The Black Widow crawls out from behind himā¦ she crawls under his legs before finally sitting up, doing their traditional pose as he takes a handful of her hair and she winces but enjoys the sensation. }Alison Valance: Accompanied to the ring by THE BLACK WIDOW! { She stands up, and takes the vape from Madjinnā¦she hits it for herself, and starts walking down the ramp as if she were on a catwalk, easily gaining his attention; meanwhile, he stands atop the stage and unbuttons his dress shirt. }Alison Valance: HE IS! THE TRAVELING CONQUEROR! HE! IS! YOUR SHINING LIGHT! HE! IS! The ARTIST formerly known as WRAITH! HE! IS! The LONGEST REIGNING IWF World Television Champion, TAG! TEAM! CHAMPION! The YOUNGEST! TO EVER! HOLD! THE IWF! MENāS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! { Madjinn holds his chin high as if to put himself on display, and drops the dress shirt on the stage before finally following Brandy down the ramp a couple of stepsā he walks to the edge of the ramp, beginning to mouth off at a few of the fans. }Alison Valance: HE! IS! YOUR FUTURE HEIR TO THE THRONE! HE! IS! THE MAAAAADDDDD! PRIIINCE! MAAAAADDDDDJJJJJIIIINNNNNNNNNNN!{ Madjinn takes a bow to the audience, and then bursts into a sprint ā he leaps to the ring apron, landing on one knee, and quickly uses the top rope to pull himself to a standing baseā¦he then goes to the closest turnbuckle and climbs atop of it, scouring the audience for several second. He blows a kiss out to the crowd before finally stepping over the top rope, and dropping to land on his feet inside of the ring. The Black Widow crawls underneath the bottom rope and joins Madjinn in his corner, as he takes her hair, and bends her over in a provocative fashion. With a smirk on his face, Madjinn cocks his head to the side as The Black Widow walks against the rope tracing both of her hands along the top rope, both her and Madjinn looking at Pax as he waits for the match to start.
Madjinn, with a pep in his step, heads over to Pax and says something to himā¦Pax shakes his head at Madjinn, and is already starting to circle the ring before ending back in his same position while The Black Widow leaves the ring. Madjinn backs into his corner to wait for the start of the match. }Alison Valance: Second down to the match, standing at 6ā1āā, weighing in at 210, from Anchorage, Alaska. He is the Mad Princeā¦ MADJINN!
Vasco Dias: Madjinn has been calling this win his destiny. And he certainly has overcome a lot to get here. Running out the clock almost every match in the tag teams before winning the matches leading to now.
Terri Morasco: Heās also called you out a few times Warren. He even removed your husband from the running saying he was gonna do what Dean couldnāt. Any thoughts on that?
Warren Harper: Time will tell, Terri, time will tell, it always does.
{The crowd roars as Madjinn and Pax Stormcrow face off in the center of the ring. Madjinn, with his wild eyes and disheveled appearance, grins maniacally, while Pax stands firm, his expression focused and determined. Pax and Madjinn stare eachother down for a long moment. The bell rings, and the atmosphere is electric. Pax hits Madjinn with a German Suplex, Madjinn hits the mat but rolls out and onto his feet. Madjinn hits Pax with a Handspring Roundhouse Kick to the face.}
Vasco Dias: Both men starting off strong here.
Terri Morasco: You can feel how much they both want this.
Warren Harper: Indeed.
{There is a furious exchange of blows. Pax's precise strikes land with brutal accuracy, but Madjinn absorbs the punishment and retaliates with reckless abandon. Madjinn goes for a Handspring Roundhouse Kick at Pax, who ducks and counters with a swift kick to Madjinn's midsection, sending him reeling. Madjinn, unfazed, climbs the turnbuckle and leaps off with a crossbody, but Pax catches him mid-air with a devastating spinning back kick. The impact sends Madjinn crashing to the mat, and the crowd gasps at the athleticism on display. Pax seizes the moment, delivering a series of suplexes, showcasing his technical prowess.}
Vasco Dias: Pax on the offensive right now. A good plan. Keeping Madjinn from getting momentum.
Terri Morasco: But will it last?
Warren Harper: For his sake it better, the longer you deny Madjinn momentum, the better. Pax canāt afford to take his foot off the gas until the job is done. He knows that.
{Madjinn manages to get free, hitting Pax with a Hurricanrana. He then unleashes a furry of attacks on the other man, wanting to beat him down more than anything else. Winning this match is his destiny, he will not let Pax steal it from him again. Madjinn hits Pax with a Genocide Kick to the outside. The mad prince follows to the outside, grabbing Pax. Madjinn whips Pax into the steel steps, then follows up with a Suicide Hurricanrana from the ring. Madjinn grabs Pax and throws him back into the ring for a pin

PAX KICKS OUT!}Vasco Dias: Holy shit!
Terri Morasco: Pax is taking a beating!
Warren Harper: Pax is deceptively resilient, you donāt go back to back in two Heir To The Throne finals without incredible resilience.
{Pax breathes a moment before getting up, clearly bleeding from some of what happened on the outside fo the ring, delivering a spinebuster that sends Madjinn into the turnbuckle. This maybe what Madjinn thinks is his destiny but this is Paxās time now. Pax hits Madjinn with a Vertical suplex followed by a Burning Hammer.}Vasco Dias: Pax is bleeding a lot.
Terri Morasco: But he can make it through this, canāt he?
Warren Harper: He doesnāt have much of a choice, not if he wants to earn his shot at professional redemption here tonight. Itās the ultimate do or die situation here for both these finalistsā¦
{Bloodied and battered, Pax crawls over to Madjinn and drapes an arm over him. The referee counts:

Madjinn kicks out! The crowd can't believe it!}Vasco Dias: Close but not close enough.
Terri Morasco: Theyāve both had near falls in this match.
Warren Harper: Itās been close, but something tells me, the end is nearā¦
{Pax, summoning the last of his strength, hits Madjinn with a belly to belly suplex before locking in THE BROKEN WING!}Vasco Dias: Pax canāt be serious?! A submission hold?
Terri Morasco: But Madjinn has never submitted!
Warren Harper: Thatās a bold strategy, but it can work. I know, Iāve used it myself. Dean Harper had never submitted before Immortals either!
{Madjinn struggles against the hold, trying to reach the rope. Black Widow moves to get involved but is blocked by Jack Ferriman who pushes her back. Madjinn keeps fighting but Pax keeps the move locked in.}Vasco Dias: Get out, Madjinn! Donāt give in!
Terri Morasco: He could injure himself if he doesnāt!
Warren Harper: Not to play favourites, but come on Pax! You got that son of a bitch, boy! This is why youāre undefeated and about to make history just like I did!
{Madjinn lets out a roar of frustration as Pax puts more pressure into the hold. Madjinn struggles a little more before tapping out.}Alison Valance: The winner by submission and Heir to the throne 2024ā¦Pax Stormcrow!
Vasco Dias: Holy shit!
Terri Morasco: He did it!
Warren Harper: {Stands up and fist pumps the air and a wide grin on his face.} Fuck yeah! Get in! Woo!
{Pax releases Madjinn from the hold as soon as the bell signals the end of the match. He offers a hand to Madjinn who swats it away. Pax nods as his music plays before turning his head to look at Warren at the commentary booth. He smirks, gesturing to the belt and then his own waist.}-------------------------------
IWF INVICTUS CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDERSHIPSINGLES MATCHTytus Rost vs. Natasha Walker w/ Rini Ishikawa
-------------------------------
Allison Valance: The following is a number one contender match for the Invictus Title!
{ The crowd cheers at the announcement before they turn their attention toward the entrance area as a lion roar echoes throughout the arena. They continue to watch as the drumbeat of "Tired of Winning" begins and from behind the curtain steps the hulking figure of Tytus Rost, his face like carved granite as he stares with cold eyes down to the ring. }Alison Valance: Making his way to the ring, weighing three hundred and four pounds ā¦ from Norilsk, Siberia ā¦ The Russian Lion ā¦ Tytus ā¦ Rost!
{ Rostās upper lip curls in a sneer as he begins to move with purpose down the ramp. Making it to the ring, Tytus stands on the floor for a beat before leaping up to the apron in a show of agility for a man his size. He wipes his boots on the outside ring apron before stepping in through the ropes and walks with purpose to the center of the ring. }Iyo Kenshin: We are in for a treat tonight. Two competitors that made waves in the Heir and Heiress to the Throne competing for their chance at the Invictus Championship!
Rayne: Tytus looks like he means business today. His opponent is going to have her hands full just trying to survive.
Allison Valance: And his opponent, weighing in at 135 lbs. From Queens, New York, she is the Techno Tsuchigumoā¦ Natasha Walker!
{ "Riot" starts to roll the Distinctive drums into the arena as the lights dim, before stepping out the back in her outfit comes Natasha on time with the Scream in the track. Rini comes running out after her, waving to the crowd before the two strike a pose at the top of the ramp. The thin "webbing" on her outfit lit up by UV as she bops to the beat and moves down the Ramp, taking a moment to hop to sit on the top rope Facing the crowd in a corner before draping backwards slowly to hang herself back and the use her extraordinary flexibility to pitch back onto her feet with a smile. Rini follows her down the ramp, cheering for Nat as she takes her place in her corner. }Iyo Kenshin: Hands full indeed. Trying to avoid the cliches but these two competitors have a massive difference in size. Nat is going to be facing an uphill battle. What is she going to need to do to win this match?
Rayne: Nice of you to call on my expertise Morasco. In short, Natasha Walker is going to need to rely on her speed. She wants to tire Tytus out before he can bring his immense power to bear against her. But I donāt know if someone as green as her can bring that sort of ring IQ to this match.
{ The official checks in with both competitors as Allison steps clear from the ring. Once assured that both of them are ready he turns and signals for the bell. The crowd is firmly behind Natasha, chanting her name as the two competitors size each other up and slowly circle around the center of the ring. Tytus starts to advance across the ring but Natasha slowly slides backwards before him, clearly not interested in closing with the Russian lion. Tytus continues his slow movement forward, trying to edge her back into her corner. Natasha, aware of the shrinking real estate she has to work with, snaps into action and darts forward towards Tytus. He makes a move to grab hold of her but she hits a baseball slide underneath his reach and pops up behind him, sending two quick side kicks into the back of his knee. Tytusā knee buckles slightly but he is quick to turn around to try and grab hold of Natasha who dances back out of his way now that she has more ring space to work with. }Rayne: This is exactly what Natasha should be doing. Dancing out of the way, relying on her speed and bringing her opponent down.
Iyo Kenshin: I think she is capable of doing it.
Ranye: Weāll seeā¦
{ Rini claps in excitement for Nat landing the first hits of the match and shouts encouragement to her fellow Bird of Prey. Natasha seems to take some confidence in her friend's cheers to dart in and snaps a sharp kick to Tyusā thigh. But the big man takes the strike and tries to grab hold of her. Natasha ducks the grab again before popping up into a low drop kick that targets the big manās knees. The Russian Lion drops to his knees, allowing Natasha to snap an enziguri off against the side of his head. Tytus shakes the hit off and snaps his hands out, managing to catch Nat this time. With a grunt he tosses the smaller woman across the ring with a biel that sends her tumbling to the mat. But Natasha rolls with the throw, coming up in a crouch with her arms spread out and staring across at Tytus to the cheers of the crowd. }Iyo Kenshin: Oh no!
Rayne: Thatās exactly the uphill battle sheās facing. Tytus can take a lot of damage. He can absorb those hits. But the smallest mistake will cost Natasha dearly.
{ Tytus turns around to look at Natasha and offers her a slow nod before he twists his head to one side. He moves towards her, the big man stalking towards his smaller opponent. Natasha keeps her eyes on him as he approaches with her hands up in a defensive position as she finds herself trapped in the corner. But she puts her speed to use, leaping onto the ropes, spring boarding off a high front kick that knocks Tytus a step back. Natasha follows up with a few strikes that cause Tytus to tuck his arms in to defend himself against the flurry of the assault. Natasha moves to flip herself into a penalty kick, but Tytus recovers enough to grab her and bring her down across his knee with a backbreaker that leaves her clutching her back and rolling across the ring. }Iyo Kenshin: No! That move looked devastating.
Rayne: Itās like I said, Natasha doesnāt have a lot of leeway. She has to wrestle this match perfectly. This kind of size difference is hard to overcome.
{ Tytus moves towards her as Natasha lays prone as she holds her back. But as he leans down to grab hold of her she posts on her arm, leaping up into a low Gamengiri into his gut that doubles him over. The crowd roars in cheers as nat gathers herself and thrusts a double kick up into Tytusā face and sends him reeling back. With the breathing room she kips up to her feet and pumps her arm to the appreciation of the crowd. She bounces off the ropes, catching Tytus with a drop kick that sends him to a knee. }Iyo Kenshin: Natasha fights back! She can do it!
Rayne: She needs to keep the pressure on here. Itās going to take a lot to bring someone like the Russian Lion down.
{ Unwilling to take her foot off the gas, Natasha closes with Tytus, sending several sharp kicks into his chest that cause him to grunt with each strike. He stares up at her angrily but she senses she is in the driver's seat and smirks down at him before lashing out with another kick. But this time Tytus is ready, catching her leg in one big meaty paw. He stands up, and lifts her into the air to plant her into the mat with a spinebuster. The force of the blow bounces her body off the mat and leaves her clutching her back once again. }Rayne: This is what Iām saying. Every mistake is going to cost her dearly. Tytus is one of the most powerful competitors we have. Itās daunting for anyone who faces him. But Natasha gives up nearly a foot and nearly 170 lbs.
Iyo Kenshin: But Natasha has the will! She just needs to tap into that to push forward.
Rayne: Will can only take you so far.
{ Tytus, unwilling to let up, stays on his opponent. He scoops her off the mat, grabbing her in a rear waistlock and lifting her relatively tiny body into the air to slam her into the mat with a german suplex. He maintains wrist control, rolling over onto the ring and lifts her again to unleash the Neverending Winter on her. Three more times he brings her crashing her into the mat before he finalizes with a release German that flings her body across the ring that leaves her crumpled in a heap. }Rayne: And this is what I have been talking about. Itās all over now.
Iyo Kenshin: Donāt be such a pessimist. Nat can come back from this.
Rayne: Iām a realist.
{ Nat continues to lay in a heap in the corner of the ring, but Rini has jumped up onto the apron to berate Tytus. Tytus appears confused about this as she hops and points and yells at him in Japanese while a bit of laughter and cheers rushes through the crowd. Tytus stalks over to the corner as the official tries to get Rini off the apron. The Bird of Prey doesnāt listen, still yelling in Tytusā direction. The big Russian shakes his head and lifts his shoulders in confusion as the tirade remains in Japanese. Finally, as the camera focuses in Rini puffs out her chest and looks up at him. }Rini Ishikawa: Pick on someone your own size!
Rayne: You have got to be kidding me.
Iyo Kenshin: The pretty guardian stepping to the plate!
Rayne: I hate you.
{ Tytus can only help but stare and even the official seems briefly taken aback at this outcry. Rini continues to stare at him, pressing towards him against the ropes and looking up at him. Then she glances up and down. She grabs holds of the ropes, boosting herself up to the second rope so that she is almost at eye level with Tytus and points two fingers at her eyes and then back at Tytus. The Russian Lion simply chuckles and shakes his head before turning to move away from her. Rini, incensed flails at him, trying to reach out and grab him only for the official to step into the way, forcibly pushing her back and giving her a verbal warning. }Iyo Kenshin: Tell me that will and heart isnāt worth anything now, Rayne!
Rayne: Iām only going to say that our officiating staff saved a womanās life today.
{ Natasha has managed to recover, pulling herself back to her feet. Seeing Tytus marching his way towards her she grips the top ropes of the turnbuckle, pulling herself up to the top rope and leaping off in a moonsault to try and wipe her competitor out. Unfortunately for her, Tytus is ready. He catches her out of the air, turning around and planting her into the ring with a devastating powerslam. He moves for the cover with a confident look on his face but Natasha calls upon her gymnastics training and is able to bridge up out of it at a two count. }Rayne: Well, Riniās distraction almost served its purpose there but Nat just learned about risk and reward.
Iyo Kenshin: Distraction! She was trying to defend her friend!
Rayne: Iām sure she was.
{Tytus shakes his head, looking down at Natasha and telling her to stay down. He leans down, clubbing his opponent with a few stiff European Uppercuts before he stands to his feet and pulls her up after him. He tucks her head down between his legs, looking around as the crowd jeers down at him. }Rayne: This is the end. Time to strike up the band.
Iyo Kenshin: No! I believe in Natasha. This isnāt it!
{ He lifts her up to his shoulders and then lifts her into the air, looking to finish things with The Way. But Nat breaks free! She springs off his shoulders, planting a drop kick into Tytusā face that sends him reeling. She lands on the mat with a crouch as the crowd begins to roar in approval. Tytus moves in to catch her but she hits a picture perfect backbend into an evasion and as he bounces off the ropes she catches him in an Arm drag. She throws her whole body into it, using his momentum and her lower center of gravity to send them both to the mat. She maintains wrist control, transitioning into an arm bar, pulling the bigger manās arm across her thigh with a shout of defiance. Tytus is quick to recover though, moving to lift them both up but she releases the hold and quickly rolls to her feet to run up and crack him across the jaw with a sharp Yakuza kick. }Iyo Kenshin: I told you she could fight her way out of it!
Rayne: For now.
{ Tytus is staggered from the blow, and Natasha runs into the ropes, bouncing off of them and rolling forward into a cartwheel elbow that strikes Tytus across the bridge of his nose. The force of the blow snaps his head back and she follows up with a penalty kick that lays him out. Natasha reaches down and grabs his leg, spinning her body. The torque of the move rolls him over on the mat so that she can transition into a single leg crab, using both of her arms to hold onto one massive tree trunk of a leg and leans back as she shouts to the crowd. Rini jumps up and down and ring side, clapping enthusiastically while shouting encouragement in Japanese. }Iyo Kenshin: A flurry of offense has Tytus reeling and Nat is firmly in the driverās seat.
Rayne: All itās done is shown how green she is. A promising rookie is still a rookie. Youāll see.
{ Tytus grits his teeth as his leg is bent backwards, but he is easily able to push himself off the mat on his arms and single remaining leg. It is almost easy for him. Nat wobbles slightly on her back, looking around as she is taken on the most terrifying horsey ride and wisely bails out before he is able to even grab the ropes. But she is quickly on her feet again, running up to drive several Kawada kicks into Tytusā face before he grabs her and throws her across the ring again. She lands in a crouch and pops back up to her feet and ready to continue the fight. Tytus is slower rising up, wiping a hand across his face. It comes away bloody from the earlier elbow strike. He looks down at it and then glances across the ring at Natasha and gives her a single nod of respect. }Rayne: Another symbol of respect from the Russian Lion. Win or lose, Natasha has that going for her.
Iyo Kenshin: I should hope so. Natasha has fought with nothing but heart this entire match!
{ Natasha does not let up despite the nod. As Tytus tries to regain his feet, she is already rebounding off the ropes, leaping forward to slam him down into a Facejam! She knows thatās not enough though. She sends several more sharp boots into the big Russianās side before flipping over to land her boot across his exposed back that finally drives him into the mat. She lifts her arms into the air, soaking in the crowds cheers as they egg her on. She steps onto Tytusā back, walking over him to reach the turnbuckle and boost herself up to the top rope. She stands up, striking a pose before reaching over to point at Rini with a winning smile who hops and claps for her. }Iyo Kenshin: This is it! Do you believe in Miracles?
Rayne: During the Olympics? Do you have no shame?
{ Natasha brings her hands forward, finger guns pointing at the prone Tytus as he starts to push himself up and off the map. Then she springs off the top ropes, her body shooting through the air as she pins in all three dimensions before landing solidly on top of the Russian Lion. }Rayne: Goblin Glider! Natasha just hit the Goblin Glider!
Iyo Kenshin: I knew it!
{ Natasha, weary from the battle, pushes Tytus over onto his back. She grabs hold of both of his legs, pulling them up and away from the ropes as she makes the cover. She bridges herself onto her toes, ensuring as much weight as possible is pressed against his chest. The official slides into place, hitting the mat as the crowd counts along until the three count hits. The official leaps to his rope and gestures for the bell. }Iyo Kenshin: Natasha has done it! Davina has beaten Goliath!
Rayne: Congratulations to Natasha. She came in and defeated the odds. But if I hear you say Davina again I will choke you out.
Iyo Kenshin: I donāt care! Natasha Walker is the number one contender for the Invictus Title! This is great!
Alison Valance: Your winner, and new number one contender for the Invictus Titleā¦ Natasha Walker!
{ āRiotā pounds through the arena as Natasha remains draped across Tytus, catching her breath from the war she just went through. The official moves over to grab her hand, but it isnāt until Rini slides into the ring to help lift her up that she makes it to her feet so that her arm can be raised in victory. }-------------------------------
MAIN EVENTHEIRESS TO THE THRONE FINALw/ Special Guest Commentator Jennie Fenix
Charlotte Shimizu vs. April Madrox
-------------------------------
{ The lights throughout the arena go outā¦and the crowd buzzes momentarily before they hear the start of āCenturiesā by Fall Out Boy playing, and immediately, the Purge masks are all lighting up the arena! The song continues to play as the cameras are pointed toward the curtains, looking for the arrival of the GM of Sacrificeā¦but the crowd pops from one section of the crowd, and the spotlight finds Jennie Fenix, the GM and current IWF Womenās World Champion standing amongst the people. She high fives many of the fans, and takes pictures with them, but wastes no time with walking throughout the crowd. }Terri Morasco: Jennie is here! And sheās going to be joining us!
Vasco Dias: I got her a boba!
Terri Morasco: That was from Cliff. Why are you kissing her ass?
Vasco Dias: Sheās my boss, Iām not kissing her ass! Iām just being nice!
{ Jennie reaches the barricade, and hops over; she flings her mask into the audience and sits at the commentators table, putting her headphones on. }Jennie Fenix: āEllo, āello!
Terri Morasco: Thank you for joining us, Jennie!
Jennie Fenix: My pleasure!
Vasco Dias: Hereās your boba!
Jennie Fenix: Ohā¦ thanks?
{ The lights throughout the arena flicker and go black, with several of the lights around the entrance seeming to overload, sending sparks flying down the stage. One by one, the screens flicker back to life showing a harvest moon hanging in a cloudy sky as the sound of fluttering wings and screaming crows fills the building. The screens soon swarm with the silhouettes of these birds, drowning out the moon and filling the arena once more in darkness as the opening strings of āThe Devilās Gonna Comeā by Raphael Lake & Royal Baggs begins to play. }āThe Broken and Fallen, dangled souls been sent to burn,
Nowadays they been calling, telling me soon itās gonna be my turnā¦ā
{ A dark red spotlight hits the stage, revealing April standing with her hands on hips. }āNow I knowā¦ the Devilās gonna come when the sun goes downā¦ā
{ April makes her way down to the ring, quickly climbing the ring steps and wiping her feet on the apron before stepping into the ring and walking with purpose to the middle of the ring, raising a hand into the air and clenching it into a fist as the house lights return to normal. }Terri Morasco: It has to be a little surprising to find April Madrox here tonight, but she has been standing out and really making a name for herself.
Jennie Fenix: Honestly, if she would drop the rest of The Murder, I think sheād be a standout. I canāt help but feel that sheās trying too hard to impress her sister, and worrying too much about this team that is putting her in other predicaments.
Vasco Dias: After what happened between her and Dean, what do you have to say about that?
Jennie Fenix: Iā Iāve spoken to Dean, but itās personal. Weāre going to leave this as business. Tonight isnāt about The Murder, tonight isnāt about Dean. Tonight is about April and Charlotte.
{ Before the music starts, the tron lights to show a red sun slowly rising over a broad expanse of ocean. The image flies apart into a flurry of red feathers and pink flower petals as the music hits. When the introductory chorus drops, Charlotte strides out, right fist pumping into the air in rhythm with the words āOh yeahā.
She circles the outside of the ring after the intro chorus and the first verse, pausing briefly at each side to work the crowd before climbing nimbly up to the apron before the last line of the verse. On the apron, she takes a running start from one corner towards the ringpost opposite. At the last second, she jumps up to the second turnbuckle and flips over the top rope, landing feet together and hands raised just as the chorus hits again. She again circles, pumping her fist high in time with the pounding guitar and screaming vocals of MYTH & ROID.
As the chorus comes to its end, Charlotte stands in the center of the squared circle and bows from her waist to the audience, her hands clasped at her chest. To her fading music, she strides purposefully to her corner and starts shaking out her hands and rolling her neck in preparation for the coming match. }Terri Morasco: And now hereās your opponent from Night of the Immortals!
Jennie Fenix: Sheās proven herself, and fast, too! Sheās the Iron Maiden, she could be looking at winning Heiress to the Throne in the same yearā¦thatās unheard of. I canāt remember the last person who has had such an opportunity.
Vasco Dias: But youāve beaten her before, so surely you would beat her again.
Jennie Fenix: Sheās a tough cookie to crack.
{ At the sound of the bell, both April and Charlotte rush for the center of the ring ā Charlotte goes for a quick clothesline, and April ducks under it! She hits a handspring off of the ropes and comes back for a back elbowā¦Charlie is able to evade it, and April lands back on her feet, saving herself against the ropes; she rebounds off of the ropes to regain some momentum before charging back against the 2024 Iron Maiden ā Charlotte takes her up and over with a hip toss! But April springs back to her feet, and Charlotte answers with another hip toss! April, again, scrambles to get to her feet but is controlled to the ropes by Charlotte before sending her off with an Irish-whipā¦
APRIL COUNTERS!
Charlie rebounds off the ropes as April looks to catch her with a hip toss of her ownā but CHARLIE COUNTERS! Charlie spins out, back on her feet, and looks to sail April over with a thirdā¦but April is quicker with an elbow this time, breaking free from her grasp, and then rolls her into a SCHOOLYARD COVER! }ONE!
TWO!
CHARLOTTE KICKS OUT!
Jennie Fenix: Much too early for that!
Terri Morasco: But April needs to find a way to slow Charlotte down, and that could beā

{ Charlie scrambles for a cover. }ONE!
TWO!
APRIL GETS A SHOULDER UP!
Jennie Fenix: I just wanna say that whichever one of these two girls wins tonight, theyāll have earned it!
Terri Morasco: Do you have one youāre rooting for over the other?
Jennie Fenix: Iām not picky.
Vasco Dias: Sheās the champ, Terri! Whoever it isā doesnāt stand a chance!
Terri Morasco: Donāt be an ass kisser.
Jennie Fenix: Yeah, donāt be an ass kisser.
{ April rolls onto her side this time to avoid a follow-up pin from Charlotte, but Charlotte takes the time to control her back to her feetā¦ April breaks free while theyāre standing up, and fires a knife edge chop! Charlie fires with one of her own! April, again! Charlotte, again! The two continue trading chops with each other all to the excitement of the crowd, and soon, the younger Madrox sister is able to gain the edge with a series of chops that battles Charlie into the cornerā¦ There, April climbs to the top rope and begins to use the ten punch combo, all the while, Blue Shoes is trying to call her down! }Jennie Fenix: These people are loving this!
{ Blue Shoes is able to gain Aprilās attention by his instructions ā which allows Charlotte to counter! She raises her onto her shoulders in a rare instance that she would go for a powerbomb, but APRIL COUNTERS! April with a hurricanrana, and reaches back to roll her up! }ONE!

The momentum sails them over, and April ends up on top, rolling Charlotte up! }ONE!
TWO!
CHARLOTTE GETS HER SHOULDER UP!
Jennie Fenix: Charlotte got her good right there, but April is able to counter!
Vasco Dias: Iād like to see April finally get her shot here!
Terri Morasco: Youāve expressed interest in fighting April Madrox before ā the two younger sisters going at itā¦ two younger sisters with legendary older sisters! Is that something youād still look forward to?
Jennie Fenix: Absolutely, but Charlotte was a tough challenger at Night of the Immortals! Iām not going to take anything away from her, and Iām sure sheād be itching for a rematch.
{ April, again, the first to her feet, but sheās a little wobbly after ending up on top after receiving a crossbodyā¦Charlie also gets to her feet, and sheās caught with a running enzuigiri! Charlie remains on her feet, albeit dazed, and April sails her over with a FISHERMANāS SUPLEX! She keeps the bridge held! }ONE!
TWO!
THā CHARLOTTE KICKS OUT!
Jennie Fenix: So close with such an impactful move!
Vasco Dias: I thought she had it there for a moment.
Terri Morasco: Undoubtedly, both of these women have been tough as this match continues on. The back and forth action has been upstanding!
{ Charlotte is slower to her feet this time, April still a step ahead of herā¦as Charlotte gets up, she meets April with a palm strike that sends April back a few steps! A dazed April recovers fast, and charges toward Charlotte only to be sent toppling over the top rope to the outside of the ring! The ignited crowd goes crazy as Charlotte looks to the far side, and comes back with a huge SUICIDE DIVE! April and Charlotte lie out on the outside of the ring for a moment, but the momentum and energy theyāre giving Charlotte allows her to feed off of them, and she hurries back to her feetā¦she takes the challenger with her, as the count reaches six, and sends her back into the ring; she scrambles up to the ring apronā¦ }Jennie Fenix: Sheās feeling it!
{ Charlotte goes over the top rope, landing on the second rope inside, and then flips up for SPECTRAL SUZAKU! }Jennie Fenix: Impressive, I admit.

{ Charlotte hooks Aprilās leg. }ONE!
TWO!
THRā KICKOUT!
Jennie Fenix: April Madrox is definitely not going to go silently!
Terri Morasco: I thought that was it!
{ Charlotte looks a little flustered by not getting the three, but she doesnāt let it get to herā¦ she pulls April back to a standing base, but April answers with a huge EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! April snatches her wrist, and sends her toppling toward the ropesā Charlotte rebounds, and April readies herselfā¦ Charlotte COUNTERS with SAPPORO TWISTER! Charlotte goes right into the cover again! }ONE!

THREā NOOOOOOO! APRIL MADROX KICKS OUT!
Jennie Fenix: April just hasnāt been able to get anything big in her favor, but Charlotte is still not able to secure that win.
Vasco Dias: This can go all night, though, and I think Charlotte is still going to maintain this. Just April is a fighter! She comes from a tough family! I just donāt know if tonight is her night!
{ Charlotte looks up to the ceiling as if searching for an answer for how to bring this match to an endā April needs an extra amount of time to recuperate, and so Charlie sees her opportunityā¦she walks for the turnbuckle and the crowd cheers as she climbs to the top rope, and April Madrox soon is to her feet avoiding the knockout count ā Charlie jumps off for DUSTBOWL TYPHOON!

THRā KICKOUT!
Jennie Fenix: Iāve lost count, the number of times Iāve fought her sister, and I just have to say, Iām impressed by them! Thereās no denying theyāre good! And I think weāre seeing April stand on her own tonight, and showing that she could win this!
Terri Morasco: I do hope that Charlie is okay, though, because after that landing, she may have tweaked her knee.
Vasco Dias: I canāt believe how quickly this turned!
{ April shakes off the cobwebs while getting to her feet, looking for her opponent as she doesā Charlotte surging off the energy of the crowd keeps her still trying to get to her feet, but sheās seeing stars as she gets upā¦itās enough damage still done that April Madrox capitalizes with FAT LIP!
