SINGLES MATCH
Judas Aliah vs Kyle Mason
----------------------------------------------------------
{A spotlight falls from the ceiling as "In the Air Tonight" begins to play. Out from the curtain steps Judas, who scowls at the audience with disdain. He stretches his arms out to his sides and looks up into the spotlight before walking towards the ring, ignoring the taunts from the audience.}Terri Moasco: Just the look of this guy creeps me out Vasco...why can't we have a few guys who look like Channig Tatum walking around here?
Vasco Dias: Because they're pro wrestlers not actors or models?....
{Blues Saraceno - Evil Ways (Justice Mix) blares through the PA system as Kyle Mason steps out from behind the curtains. Mason walks out to the front of the rampway and scans the crowd. He starts to make his way to the ring and stop as if he forgot something. He smiles and makes the "X" symbol over his head as pyros explode at the entrance way. Mason then begins to walk arrogantly towards the ring. As he reaches the apron, Mason slides under the bottom rope and climbs the nearest turnbuckle. He pumps up the crowd and hops off and leans in the corner, waiting for the match to start. }Vasco Dias: I like this guy...Kyle Mason is tough and hard hitting and is well versed in many many submission moves
Terri Morasco: He may be one of the most dangerous guys around at the moment Vasco
{The bell rings and Mason moves around Judas who has five inches and a good 100 pounds on Mason. Judas moves forward faking out Mason who skips to the right, Judas does it again and again Mason skips to his right. Judas laughs and gets down low before dropping to his knee's and putting his arms out to the side. Mason goes for a stiff roundhouse kick and Judas catches his leg and ducks down before picking Mason up and slamming him on his back. Mason rolls and gets back to his feet running at Judas who ducks down and hits a samoan drop. Mason's body crashes against the mat again as the much bigger man laughs and shakes his hair out. }Terri Morasco: Judas is showing us some serious power Vasco, that samoan drop just made Mason bounce off the mat.
Vasco Dias: Mason hit a few stiff shots though, if he can land more he may take Judas out of his game
{Mason holds his back and starts to get to his feet, Judas comes in looking for the running mafia kick, Kyle ducks and runs throygh, he spins around and hits a few fast, low roundhouse kicks , Mason steps forward and hits a harder, stiff kick to Judas' chest, Judas stumbles back and Kyle attack with a flying knee grabbing Judas in a muay thai clinch trying to hit knee's to Judas' face, Judas catches one and picks up Kyle running him into the corner before slamming his shoulders into Kyle's midsection, he then picks up Mason onto the top rope and folds his head down taking him out into the center of the ring with a muscle buster, Judas goes for the pin 1.....2....Mason kicks out}Vasco Dias: Mason was building some steam but Judas was able to stop it quickly
Terri Morasco: I think Mason needs to use his speed more
{Judas seems to slither away before getting to his feet. Mason pulls himself up with the ropes. Judas runs in and Mason ducks down pulling the top rope down causing Judas to fall over the top rope out to the floor. Mason gets back to his feet as Judas pulls himelf up outside, Kyle runs and leaps through the ropes hitting the suicide dive into a tornado ddt he calls the "tokyo drift" Judas' head bounces off the mat and he looks as if he has no idea where he is. Kyle gets to his feet and high fives a few fans. He then turns to throw a few hard kicks to judas chest connection with stiff shots. He goes for one to the head and Judas ducks, as Kyle spins around Judas gets to his feet and grabs Kyle before siply throwing Kyle over his head to the floor causing Kyle to hit the steel ring steps, the fans start a "holy shit" chant as Judas sits on the floor laughing to himself.}Vasco Dias: Oh god Mason just got thrown onto the floor and the steel steps
Terri Morasco: Did you hear the crash?
{Judas grabs Kyle pulling him to his feet sliding him into the ring under the bottom rope. He follows and as Kyle gets up he grabs him around the throat, he lifts Kyle for a choke slam but Mason is able to throw his knee forward hitting Judas in the face. Judas smiles as Mason hits two punches followed by a shoot kick followed by a spinning backfist followed by a Roaring elbow he calls the violent party, Judas goes down and Mason gets onto the apron, he waits and leaps up hitting the springboard clothesline Mason covers 1....2...Judas kicks out. }Vasco Dias: Kyle Mason with the nearfall!
Terri Morasco: This is a close contest.
{Mason pulls Judas up and goes for "The Quickening" the swinging reverse sto, but Judas powers out of it at the last second and goes for "Malice" the front release suplex, Mason blocks it and slams his fist into Judas' head. Judas drops down and Kyle runs to the ropes, Judas spins and hits a huge kick to Mason and throws him into the corner, he sets him up for the reality (top rope neckbreaker) and hits it 1....2....3}----------------------------------------------------------
TRIPLE THREAT ELIMINATION MATCH
Caleb White vs Kristoff Liam Bates vs Xavier Cross
----------------------------------------------------------
{"Actions Speak Louder Than Words Do..."
The song by Celldweller, Louder than Words begins to play over the P.A. and the lights start to spazz out to the beat as Kristoff Liam Bates comes down the ramp, clutching his trademark briefcase.
"Did I really Hear you say you're sorry, hard for me to believe..."
Bates ascends the stairs, leaving his briefcase on the outside and meticulously takes off his suitcoat and tie before hopping through the ropes and cockily smiling, waiting in the corner stretching before the bell rings.}Vasco Dias: Our Invictus champion has been on a slight downward turn as of late...
Terri Morasco: He has all the talent to do well in the Heir to the throne...
{"Bad Magick" by Shooter Jennings plays and the fans cheer, and scream. Fog rolls through the arena, the slow moan of the guitar echoes through arena. White walks to the stage in a long black trench coat and he smiles. He raises his arms and the pyro busts off behind him. He walks down to the ring and slides in. He takes the trench coat off and waits for the bell to ring.}Vasco Dias: Let's see what Caleb can do after upsetting Spike
Terri Morasco: His stock certainly rose...
{The intro of "Immortal" starts playing, as smoke starts to well up at the top of the stage. When the drums and guitar kick in, Xavier pops out of the floor, hair dripping wet. He looks around in a daze for a moment, looking towards the crowd getting a mixed reaction. He takes a few steps forward, taking a deep inhale before marching down to the ring, slamming his hand onto his chest.}
Alison Valance: Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, coming to you from Lexington, Virginia....He stands at Six Feet...three inches, weighing in at Two-Hundred, and Thirty One pounds. Xavier.......CROOOOOSSSS!
{Cross stares at the ring for a second before marching up the steps, looking around he doesn’t enter through the apron but climbs the outside of the turnbuckle, standing tall as he looks around the arena a grin on his face. He slaps his chest three times before hopping into the ring. He kisses his middle and index finger, pointing them to the sky, before looking down, crossing each wrist to make an X, he slowly raises his arms up. Each post shoots a pyro cannon perpendicular to each other, creating a flaming X for a moment. Xavier moves to the corner, pulling himself on top of the turnbuckle, adjusting the tape on his wrists, waiting for the bell to ring and the match to begin.}Vasco Dias: I can see Xavier Cross winning the heir to the throne
Terri Morasco: I think we all can...
{The bell rings and KLB slides from the ring letting Cross and Caleb start the match, they circle around one another and lock up, Cross pushes Caleb back and then spins around behind him before picking Caleb up and slamming him face first with a waistlock. Cross spins over Calebs body and as he gets hi in a front headlock KLB slides in and hammers into Cross with a clothesline, he then gras Caleb and levels him with a short arm clothesline, he stomps down on Caleb before pulling Caleb up and whipping him across the ring and then hitting a hip toss. KLB then turns around and picks up Cross hitting a double A spinebuster slamming Cross on top of Caleb.}Vasco Dias: KLB had them fooled, he slid in from behind while they were distracted.
Terri Morasco: The corporate suit foxed them...
{KLB pulls Caleb up and goes for the crucifix powerbomb, however Cross gets to his feet and attacks like a mad man spearing KLB down causing Caleb to fall, landing on his feet. Cross slams in some right hands to KLB's forehead and as he gets up Caleb goes for the colt 45. Cross ducks out of the way and goes for a clothesline, Caleb also ducks the move and goes for his running crescent kick, Cross ducks and it connects with KLB who had just got to his feet.

He kicks Cross in the stomach and goes for the crusifix powerbomb again, he lifts Cross up but then eats a Colt 45 superkick from Caleb!, KLB drops Cross and Cross pulls KLB right into the Nazi hunter! he pins 1....2....3}Vasco Dias: No points for KLB!

SEGMENT
"As good as it gets."
----------------------------------------------------------
{Suddenly, “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” by U2 interrupts the broadcasts and there is a slight delay before Mercedes Vargas appears on the entrance ramp.}Alison Valance: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, the IWF Ruby Champion...Mercedes Vargas!
{Mercedes makes her way to the ring with the air of superiority as the she is given a mixed reaction from the crowd that she doesn't even bother to be fazed in.}Terri Morasco: Welcome back to Monday Night Sacrifice, everybody. Tonight we're across the pond, the First Direct Arena here in Leeds, England!
Vasco Dias: For the entire month of June, IWF invades the UK, Terri. This all began in London, and last week we were Manchester. Wait until we return to London next week!
Terri Morasco: That's right, this is the last Sacrifice before Bloody Assizes, which comes to you live on pay-per-view from Wembley Stadium in London. You don't want to miss that. But we still have tonight to get through and right now we may be hearing a few words from the only singles champion to retain their title at the last pay-per-view at Night of the Immortals.
Vasco Dias: We have a new World Champion, we have a new Diamonds Champion, but Mercedes Vargas walked out of San Antonio, Texas, still the Ruby Champion. In my mind, I think she's getting too much credit. Ana and Malaki both had tough opponents; Mercedes got off easy by beating a rookie.
Terri Morasco: Be that as it may, that rookie, April Maddox, made Mercedes work to keep her title, and had Mercedes slipped up, I doubt we would be seeing her tonight with that Cheshire grin on her face.
Vasco Dias: Can you blame her? You should have read some of the tweets she sent after her win. Among other things, she tweeted about Alexis and Amber's losses and sent out her condolences to our COO, Simon de Mortfort.
Terri Morasco: Mercedes has compassion for her co-workers, who knew?
Terri Morasco: Ruining Kate Steele's return to IWF last week, Mercedes hopes to carry this momentum into tonight: She faces both Kate Steele and Amber Richards in a triple threat match worth twenty points in the tournament.
{Mercedes is already in the ring as she is handed a microphone from a stagehand offscreen. As her music dies down, she raises her sunglasses above her head to take in the scene. She is rained with boos from the London crowd, but she take this all in stride. She raises her microphone.}Mercedes: Wow! What a lovely reception. Leeds, England! It's been a while, hasn't it? I never get tired of visiting the UK, especially Leeds. In fact, it's only my second visit here and my first visit in almost year, so believe me when I telly it is good to be back. Because here I stand before you a champion. As you well know, the World Cup was this past Thursday...
{The crowd cheers to which Mercedes nods, smiling.}Mercedes: Somehow, I knew that would get a favorable response. The World Cup is in Brazil, and every country is pretty much favored to win, but come on, let's face it, some teams just aren't championship material, and then there is your national team. You guys may have invented the game, but you've perfect always falling short of expectations.
{The crowd erupt in boos, leaving her puzzled at their reaction.}Mercedes: Hey, the truth hurts.
{She shrugs with a smile on her face.}Mercedes: OK, I get that you have a World Cup to your name, but 48 years is a long time ago. But unlike four years ago, fortune may have smiled upon you, because you're sitting pretty in a not so great group, though I wouldn't necessarily call a group with Costa Rica, Italy, and Uruguay a cakewalk either.
{She speaks away from the microphone as she heard saying, "You should be thankful you're not playing Germany again."}Mercedes: My native Argentina, however, is favored to win it all this year. In fact, Argentina is favored to win every World Cup, and that is what makes Argentina better than you, and you want to know why? BECAUSE WE HAVE TWO WORLD CUPS!
{Laughing into the microphone, she holds up two fingers.}Mercedes: And the greatest player in the entire world, Lionel Messi!
{“You suck” chants are directed at Mercedes, who acts truly hurt by this.}Mercedes: Oh, come on! You know and I know you all don't mean that. If I suck, then why do I have this? Why am I the only singles champion who walked in with their title -
{She pauses to hold it up to the camera.}Mercedes: And walked out with their title? Answer me that! You don't have much ground to stand on there, so your argument is invalid. You people couldn't even be me for a single day. But, if you were, you would know that if there is one thing I love doing, it's making history. For those of you who has follow my career, which I'm sure is many of you out there, you've seen how I've accomplished quite a lot in five years. A championship here, an accolade there, an award acceptance everywhere. What does it take to become successful like me? Well, it's a lot of hard work, but more importantly, I worked at it and I set goals for myself. I mean, doesn't everybody? Millions of people set goals: Entertainers, politicians, athletes, everyday people like you and I...
{Mercedes stops and stretches her hand towards the crowd with an arrogant expression on her face.}Mercedes: Well, like you. I mean, how many of you have or already have broken your New Year's resolutions by now? Come on, be honest. I'm judging that's pretty much two-thirds of the audience, maybe more. Some of you won't admit it, but that's okay too. Acceptance is the first step to recovery. I said it's important to set goals, but the difference between me and you people is that when I have a goal in mind, I don't write it down on a piece of paper and forget about it in three months. You won't see me wake up every morning and try and settle on some routine. That's not me. When I set a goal, I don't need to write it down, I just do it. Here, I'll give you some examples.
{She takes a quick pause as she places her championship on her left shoulder.}Mercedes: Five months ago, on a cold December evening in New Jersey, I issued an open challenge to any Diamond in the lockerroom to face me at Diamonds are Forever. Rayne accepted my challenge and two weeks after, I accomplished that goal by beating her. No one has seen or heard from her since. Fast forward to 2014 and my first true test against the criminally insane Eternity. Everybody and their grandmother, matter of fact, everybody in Vegas and people who probably bet their mortgages, though I was a martyr. Well, let's just say that a lot of people in Vegas were probably heading to their local soup kitchen that night after I crossed off another goal off my list. And then came big, bad Christine Rochette. Sure, she had all the hype behind her, she was physically imposing, this nearly seven-foot giantess that possibly no one could conquer. David versus Goliath. Unlike the ending of that classic story, I didn't need a slingshot and five stones. One superkick did the job. And down goes Christy. And you know the rest, after she got beat again in a tag team match, Amber told her to walk.
{Mercedes makes walking fingers gesture.}Mercedes: Of course, I recently had my long-awaited title defense against April Maddox. The same April Maddox who let us know via Twitter that she was still alive. The same April Maddox who, supposedly, was injured and wasn't seen again for several weeks, which is funny because she seemed perfectly fine to me after I made her tap in our first match. And even if she was injured, I'm almost sure the IWF.com website would have put up a blurb or something instead of leaving you fans, and me, in the dark. Does that make sense?
{She looks around the arena, then shrugs.}Mercedes: At Night of the Immortals, if you didn't already know, two immortals looked very much human two Sundays ago and lost their titles, and I can see the look of disappointment on your faces. I can see the look of disappointment that not every title changed hands that night.
{Mercedes stretched out her hand to the crowd and laughs sarcastically.}Mercedes: F@#$ me, right? When Mercedes Vargas is the only singles champion to retain their title, you know you're in trouble. Sounds a lot like something our Media Relations Manager and Assistant General Manger would say. Somewhere, I think she's in mourning.
{With a bemused look on her face, Mercedes continues.}Mercedes: With everything I've accomplished so far in IWF, you would think I would run out of things to do, but there's still so much left for me to do. See, because, I'm going to set out for a new goal. I'm going to be the longest reigning Ruby Champion of all-time, and I'm pretty much half-way there. Jennifer Famularo, you know, the loser I pinned on St. Patrick's Day to win this off of? I beat her 22-day reign three weeks after. Tara Fenix? I surpassed her 35-day reign back in late April. Ashley Mastrangelo and Amber Richards? I beat their 63-day reigns two months ago back in mid-May. And seeing as we're a little less than a away from our next pay-per-view, between now and Bloody Assizes...
{Mercedes turns to the hard camera and give it a "WTF" look before turning back to the camera.}Mercedes: Ana Valentine can say goodbye to being the longest-reigning champion, because tonight you're looking at the new longest reigning champion by six days. That's right, Ana, if you can hear me, your 85-day reign has gone bye-bye.
{She mockingly waves at the crowd.}Mercedes: But don't worry, you're still the most talked about Diamond on the roster. Only, after losing the Diamonds Championship, you'll be talked about in the past tense.
{The crowd boos.}Mercedes: Tonight, I get Kate Steele and Amber Richards in a triple threat elimination match, and I intend to walk out with 20 points on the board. Kate Steele, there must be something in the drinking water in IWF, because I could have sworn I pinned you last week. Well, never you mind, because no matter who pins you tonight, the downward spiral that is your IWF career will continue. And Amber?
{Mercedes can only chuckle and shake her headMercedes: Amber Richards, I know you've been waiting for this. I know you've been waiting for the better part of three months to finally get your hands on me since you told your bodyguard to hit the bricks after me and Eternity kicked your collective asses back in early March and after I beat Christine Rochette three weeks before that, ending her mystique. Well now here's your chance to get that measure of revenge, and I'm looking forward to it. The mudslinging, the Twitter wars, all of that comes to a head tonight. And Amber, you and I both know how this match will end. It's almost a given that you and me will be the last two standing, but the winner? That's going to be where the fun really begins.
{She smiles.}Mercedes: So to every Diamond in the Heiress to the Throne, know this: Just like April Maddox and Kate Steele and Amber, you will fall to me. Because I don't need resolutions, I don't need or believe in them. I don't need a predetermined time to do something, I just do it. I don't need to set standards and goals for my life because when it comes to resolutions, you have to do something you would be better at. How can I be better than I already am?
{Raising her championship in the air, she incites boos from the crowd.}Mercedes: Today is Day 91 of my title reign, and this is as good as it gets.
{As her entrance music plays her out of the arena, Mercedes drops the microphone and plays up with the crowd. Placing her championship over her shoulder, she clasps her hands together and shakes them side to side in a gesture of victory before taking a bow.}Terri Morasco: We've got to know Mercedes ever since she set foot in IWF in late 2013. She's been called many things, but a shrinking violet isn't one of them.
Vasco Dias: Did you hear that, Terri? Mercedes is now the longest reigning Ruby Champion in this company's history. She's nothing short of confident and she commanded the ring. Now, Mercedes has got to prove it when she faces Kate Steele and Amber Richards in the second of two Heiress to the Throne triple threat matches right here tonight.
{As “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” plays her out of the arena, Mercedes straddles the top rope while facing the crowd, and once again raising her title in the air while talking smack. Taking her leave, she walks across the apron, made her way down the steel steps and continues walking backward up the ramp as the scene prepares to fade out either to the back or commercial.}

{"Cult of Personality" by Living Colour hits the sound system, Mike Laszlo walking out onto the stage, followed by Alexis Caffrey, to a favored reaction from the crowd. Surveying those who cheer, a grin comes over his face as he heads for the ring with a confident walk, slapping hands with some fans along the isle who outstretch their hands, Alexis by his side holding his other hand.}Ally: Making his way to the ring, accompanied to the ring by Alexis Caffrey, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing 237 pounds…MIIIIKE LASZLOOOOO!
{The two get to the end of the ramp before Mike lifts Alexis onto the apron. She enters the ring as Mike rolls in under the bottom rope. He climbs the outside ropes to the top rope in the corner nearest the entrance ramp and poses for the crowd amassing a magnitude of cheers. He jumps down and goes to the opposite corner and does the same, garnering the same reaction.

{The opening bar of I smell a massacre hits the speakers as red lights swirl around the crowd, before settling on Reñee Pleasant who stands in the middle of the stage, Amber Richards by his side, smirking at the crowd as a chorus of boos rises up.
Reñee shrugs and walks down the ramp with purpose, he jumps up onto the apron and enters the ring through the top and middle ropes. He approaches the referee for a moment and towers over him with a laugh, before walking away, shaking his head still laughing as the music fades out.}Terri Morasco: Renee Pleasant is a beast of a human being...he has been a wrecking ball

Laszlo and Spike who had been brawling in the corner both stop and look at Renee in shock.}Terri Morasco: I...a double leg slam from Renee?...A WRESTLING MOVE?
Vasco Dias: Alex Jones has got to be sitting backstage now smiling at his pupil...

SEGMENT
"Better Late Then Never"
----------------------------------------------------------
{The opening drum beat of "Sleep Isabella" by Abney Park begins as on the stage two rather burly men in bright yellow tank tops with shaved heads, large looping earrings and curly black mustaches, push the seven foot bronze Mother Mary Iron Maiden to the top of the ramp. The smart Manchester crowd start to cheer immediately, as the lights are brought down to a blue hue which blankets the arena.
Two little girls, a brunette and a redhead, one either side of the Maiden, with their faces painted as a tomcat and a leopard respectively appear, and each point a finger towards the Heavens as the sound of rumbling thunder and rain resonates throughout the arena. The brunette has in her hands the golden butterfly tiara, whilst the red haired child has in her hands, a teddy bear which some may recognise as Brian, only in an act of outright rebellion, Brian is wearing a Chelsea football shirt - a sin here in Leeds. But how on earth can you boo a teddy bear? You can't, especially one this cute. A third little girl, is heard but not yet seen. Some recognise the voice of the Raven from last week as she starts to sing.}
Raven: Sleep child, sleep...
Sleep child, sleep...
Daylight is waiting...
Consciously fraying...
Sleep my child...
{ The two children either side of the Maiden begin to walk down the ramp, hand in hand, carried only by the Raven's voice as purple smoke starts to billow around Mother Mary.}
Raven: Sleep, sleep, my Isabella
Safely in your carousel-a
Sleep through the spinning,
Just like your beginning
Sleep, my child.
(Meanwhile, the banging drums of "Apex Predator" by Otep resound throughout the arena, as Mother Mary swings open, the sirens and the lyrics introduce Eternity to the audience and as the adult males cheer, the children, but not her children seem to fear the shadowy woman who is wearing a black hat and a veil with her head bowed as she walks down the ramp. She stops in the middle of the ramp and takes a bow, taking her veiled black hat off and posing with it in her outstretched arms.
This signals a fourth child, blonde with the face of a tiger to step forward out of the billowing smoke and both she and her raven haired sister now appear and lead Eternity by the hand, the Raven taking the veiled hat from her. The blonde is also carrying with her the Diamonds World Championship.
They continue her journey down the ramp, skipping whilst accompanied by the chorus. She slides under the bottom rope into the ring and helps two of her children into the ring. They once again hold hands as the Raven child leads Eternity. When she reaches the centre, the little girl then skips over to the turnbuckle where she hangs the hat on a ringpost, patting it.
Eternity then skips to the middle of the ring and gets down on one knee, a leg outstretched behind her, as she looks heavenward and raises an arm in front of her, her hand reaching towards the sky.
Whilst Eternity is knelt, the brunette in the green dress and the red head in the yellow dress both step forward either side of her, the brunette places the golden butterfly on Eternity's head as she speaks after the music starts to fade away.}
Brunette: Arise from the Earth, Mother...
{Eternity slowly rises from bended knee and then the auburn haired child speaks as she hands Brian over}
Auburn: Reclaim from the fire, Daughter...
{The blonde now steps behind Eternity and wraps the Diamonds World Championship around her waist as she speaks}
Blonde: Brave the stormy sea, Sister...
{The camera zooms in and shows the world that as yet the title still bears no name. The Raven then appears and hands Eternity a microphone.}
Raven: Whisper softly, my Queen...
{The children then all take a step back as Eternity begins to speak.}
Eternity: Be not afraid my childr -
{Eternity stops as Brian's attire finally catches her eye.}
Eternity: Brian, what are you wearing? This is Leeds, they don't like that sort of thing here, you know. If you're not careful, somebody will tear that thing right off your back...
{Brian whispers in Eternity's ear.}
Eternity: What? That's exactly what you're counting on? You WANT someone to rip your Chelsea shirt off? Preferably those three fake tanned brunettes in the front row. Orange and brown make a sweet combination? I suppose you're right, I mean who doesn't love a naughty little Jaffa Cake now and then...
{Brian continues to whisper.}
Eternity: Or a Chocolate Orange. Quite right too, I love those, and Terry can bugger off, I'm not sharing even if it does have his name on all of them. Greedy sod.
{Brian whispers again}
Eternity: Oh I know, Brian, if there's anything everybody wants even more than a delicious Chocolate Orange, it's a segment of my sweet little world...and that is why we are out here tonight Brian. To address my loyal subjects and all the sweet little children of my kingdom...
{The bear whispers again}
Eternity: What do you mean, this isn't my kingdom? So what if it doesn't have my name on it? Is it really that important?
{Eternity sighs}
Eternity: Fine, I guess you're right, we really do need a name on this thing. But first let's just do what we came out here to do, and that is to help the children. Listen my children, for one of you is lost, so terribly terribly lost. Lost and alone. Only she doesn't know it because she is obsessed with all the little things she thinks will define her worth. She knows no better, but she is still my child and I will not abandon her in her time of need. Some of you may have seen this poor little thing wandering about the streets of Leeds, some of you may even know her name.
{Eternity gestures to the titantron, which suddenly lets the crowd in on who she is talking about.}
{Some in the crowd cheer and immediately start an Alexis chant}
Eternity: See? Can't you hear them child? They want you to come home. We all want you to come home, darling. Come home and play with us. Come and play with your sisters, come and play with the Children of Eternity...
{"Cult of Love" hits and the chants turn to roaring cheers as Alexis skips out to the stage and looks around with an exaggerated lean as she pivots on her ankles. She then pivots the other way, the facial expression quickly changing to a focused look as she focuses in on Eternity...and her friends.}
Alexis Caffrey: They want me to come home? I'm not even from Leeds...but I guess I could be for the day. Let's ask...
{She tilts her head to the side with a glowing smile.}
Alexis Caffrey: ...shall we?
{She looks out to the crowd and asks her question.}
Alexis Caffrey: Leeds...would you like me to be your sweet, innocent, home town girl for the night?
{The crowd erupts in cheers. Yes it's a cheap pop, we all love them. She jumps up and down with a smile clapping rapidly before speaking again.}
Alexis Caffrey: They love me...they really, really love me!
{She points at Eternity.}
Alexis Caffrey: But not you. No, not you at all. This entire arena, this whole country, the continent it's on, and alllllllllll the millions watching at home couldn't care less, heck, half of them are probably going to get a snack right now, only to rush back at the very sound of my voice as they realize that finally someone has skipped out here to put a cork in that facial hole you call a mouth.
{The fans cheer as Alexis skips down the ramp, tilting her head from side to side in rhythm before jumping up on the apron and entering the ring. She turns back and looks at the big screen that shows her kissing the torn off head of a teddy bear. She holds her hand over her mouth as if to say "Oops." as she looks back to the "group" in the ring, then the screen, then the group again. She cautiously walks up to "Brian" and stares into his round black eyes, tilting her head from side to side and back again before laughing as she brings the microphone upward.}
Alexis Caffrey: I'm sorry...was that a friend of yours? A family member perhaps? You want someone to rip that Chelsea Jersey off you, but how much would you truly quiver if I did that...
{She points to the screen.}
Alexis Caffrey: ...to you?
{The bear starts to "quiver" as Eternity looks on, slightly annoyed, yet whimsically amused at the same time.}
Alexis Caffrey: Don't worry Fuzzy Wuzzy. I won't rip your head off like the silly bear in the picture. I would like to rip something though.
{She turns to Eternity and then turns her gaze upon the Diamonds Championship.}
Alexis Caffrey: Like that...
{She points at the belt, and then at Eternity.}
Alexis Caffrey: ...from you!
{The crowd cheers as this is a match they would love to see.}
Alexis Caffrey: You see Eternity, you have the ability to save me...but it isn't the way in which you want. Since the day I stepped foot through the doors of the IWF I wanted to prove that I was the best, and there is only one way to truly do so, and that's to hold that Diamonds Championship. I've beaten a lot of girls, Ayla, Mercedes DesireeMercedesandMercedesagainjusttomakethefreakingpointthatIAM...BETTER! You, silly painted faced girl are the one that has gotten away and it is time to reel you in. Save me Eternity. Save me from the stress of my own aspirations. Give me a shot to prove to the world that I am indeed the best. Give me a shot at that belt!
{She lowers the microphone and clinches her hands together, quickly dropping to her knees, begging the champion to accept her challenge. {Eternity grins as she looks down at Alexis Caffrey on her knees. She is about to respond when suddenly Brian whispers in her ear. Eternity's eyes widen and she snaps her head towards Brian.}
Eternity: WHAT? It's always been a fantasy of yours to have a night like tonight where you finally have Alexis down on her knees begging for a shot, but you never imagined it would be like this?
{Brian whispers again}
Eternity: Only in your fantasy she had more honey and less clothes?
{Eternity looks disgusted at Brian}
Eternity: You filthy animal! What would your Uncle Eric say if he heard you talking like that?
{Brian responds}
Eternity: No, I suppose you're right, he isn't one to talk about such things without being a hypocrite, especially as he lost his head soon after meeting Alexis himself.
{Brian continues to whisper}
Eternity: I know, I know, it's a painful memory for you seeing the only photograph you have of him up there on the titantron, but really you need to move on and realise that he's in a happier place now...
{Eternity then turns her attention back to Alexis}
Eternity: Oh, I'm sorry, you wanted something, didn't you? Perhaps your own little happy ending? Now I'm sure many of your happy endings have begun with you falling down in devout service, and whilst as your Queen, I admire the fact that you know your place as my subject, you need to realise that I am not Mike Laszlo. I will not be pleased so easily or so quickly. Later on tonight, your devotion to me will be tested my child. If you want a right of passage, tonight you will have to earn it...
{Alexis glares at Eternity as she rises to her feet. Her eyes dart to "Brian" and there's a quick snap of her head to the side with her glowing smile from earlier.}
Alexis Caffrey: Earn it I shall.
{She gets close to "Brian" and plants a kiss on his nose.}
Alexis Caffrey: I'll see ya later...don't lose your head.
{Eternity watches as Alexis exits the ring and skips up the ramp to "Cult of Love"}

TRIPLE THREAT ELIMINATION MATCH
Maria vs Sunshine Sparkles vs Ashley Mastrangelo
----------------------------------------------------------
{Heaven Knows by The Pretty Reckless comes on over the PA and smoke fills the entrance ramp. Maria saunters down the entrance ramp to the beat of the song's verse.
Jimmy's in the Back with a Pocket of High, if you listen close you can hear him cry...
Oh lord heaven knows, we belong way down below, sing it.
(Oh lord Heaven Knows, We belong way down below)
Way down below, way down below, way down below...
As the song goes to the second verse she's stretching on the entrance steps.
Judy's in the front seat picking up trash
Living on the dole
Gotta make that cash

Vasco Dias: And..dat ass...
Terri Morasco: VASCO..this is a family show...
{"What Have You Done" by Within Temptation begins to blare over the speakers as the crowd give a mixed reaction to the newly reinvented Ashley Mastrangelo. She walks out onto the stage with a slow staggering walk before stopping atop the stage to cast her glare over the audience. She then heads down to the ring, unphased by any distractions as she's announced.}Alision Valance: From Cleveland, Ohio, weighing in at 112 pounds, ASHLEY MASTRANGELOOOOO!
{She gets to the steps and ascends them before entering the ring and walking to the far side ropes where again, she cast her gaze to a mixed reaction before turning and backing into a corner, waiting for the match to begin.}Vasco Dias: Interesting change in Ashley...
Terri Morasco: I like it, she seems dangerous
{Before the match can begin Sunny looks at both Maria and Ashley, Sunny goes to hug Maria but then stops and shakes her head Ashley opens her arms almost sarcastically and Sunny folds her arms and shakes her head almost angrily. The bell rings and Ashley and Maria attack Sunny beating her down in the corner, Sunny covers up as both ladies stomp at her in the corner. Maria keeps going but Ashley steps back and waits for Maria to turn around. She then launches into Maria with a side kick sending her down.}Vasco Dias: What a shot!
Terri Morasco: Maria almost got her head taken off
{Maria pulls herself up as Ashley grabs her and hits a snap suplex, she floats over. 1...2 Maria kicks out. Ashley turns and finds Sunny standing next to her, Sunny smiles and tilts her head before grabbing Ashley in a belly to belly giving her a hug like squeeze before picking Ashley up and slamming her down, Maria gets up and Sunny runs up leaping onto Maria's back with a body lock and a choke.

TAG TEAM MATCH
The Ace and Alexis Caffrey vs Angel and Eternity
----------------------------------------------------------
Vasco Dias: Next up is our main event, an intergender tag team match featuring the self proclaimed World Champion, Angel and the Diamond’s Champion, Eternity, taking on their number one contenders in Jake the Ace Conway and Alexis Caffrey!
Terri Morasco: I’m really interested to see what kind of team Angel and Eternity make.
Vasco Dias: A damn scary one I’m sure.
Terri Morasco: You can say that again.
{ “Cult of Love” by Living Colour hits the sound system with a slow piano theme. The drums beat as "Cult of Personality" is mashed in just as Alexis and Mike walk out onto the stage. Mike steps back and lets Alexis pose for the cheering crowd as he claps. She gets to the ring and climbs up on the apron and into the ring. She heads to the corner opposite the entrance ramp as Mike climbs onto the apron to give her words of encouragement and further instruction. }Terri Morasco: Alexis is the first one out.
{ The lights suddenly die. }Vasco Dias: What in the?
{ A lone spot light hits Alexis in the middle of the ring as she turns around looking for the attack. }Terri Morasco: What’s going on?
Vasco Dias: I’m not sure.
{ Sail hits the PA as pyro explodes all around the ring and scares Alexis half to death, Angel steps out onto the ramp, another spot light on him and a sledge hammer in his hand. }Vasco Dias: No! He wouldn’t!
Terri Morasco: He told Ace that what happens to Alexis tonight is on him.
Vasco Dias: He can’t be this cold…
{ Angel starts to head toward the ring as Mike Laszlo moves toward the ramp to defend Alexis but Spike Kane jumps the barrier with a chair in hand and blind sides Laszlo. Spike goes to town on the fallen Laszlo as Angel stops in the middle of the ramp. }Vasco Dias: Dammit!
{ Alexis looks to Mike and thinks about escaping but that’s when a hand bursts through the ring and grabs her by the foot, Alexis shrieks as the hand tugs her down in the hole. }Terri Morasco: What is going on here!?
Vasco Dias: I have no idea.
Terri Morasco: Is Eternity under the ring!?
Vasco Dias: I think so.
{ Alexis claws to escape as Eternity bursts through the hole she made and begins to drag Alexis down into the depths she came from. Alexis claws and claws but Eternity eventually pulls her into the hole and both women disappear. Angel smiles from the ramp as he twirls the sledge hammer in his hands. }Vasco Dias: I don’t believe this!
{ Angel heads toward Spike and Laszlo when THE ACE COMES OUT FROM THE BACK TO A MONSTER POP AND CRASHES INTO ANGEL!!! Angel stumbles and falls down the ramp as Ace quickly picks up the sledge. }Terri Morasco: THE ACE IS IN THE PLACE!!!
Vasco Dias: You damn right!
{ Spike charges the Ace but Jake nails him in the gut with the end of the sledge hammer and hits an Ace Plant right on the steel ramp way. Ace heads toward Angel who starts to stand and drives the end of the sledge into his back! }Vasco Dias: OHHH!!!
{ Angel stumbles against the ring and Ace drives the sledge into his back again and again. Ace backs off as Angel tries to find his bearing and the Ace charges Angel and drives the sledge right into his face!!! }Vasco Dias: The Ace just laid Angel out and busted him open the hard way!
Terri Morasco: Don’t say he didn’t ask for it!
{ Ace pulls Angel up and rolls him into the ring. Angel isn’t moving as the Ace stands over him now and picks the sledge up, he brings it crashing down into the ribs of Angel as the crowd just goes wild for their hero! }Vasco Dias: The fans are loving this and I’m going to have to say that I do as well!
Terri Morasco: It’s about time Angel got what he deserved.
{ Ace smirks as he drops the sledge and pulls the Imperial title off from around Angel’s waist. Ace looks long and hard at the belt before placing it down and then pulling Angel to his feet. He kicks him hard in the gut and bounces off the ropes and comes back with the FAME ACER!!! Angel is down and out as Ace rolls him over and covers, the fans count with him. ONE! TWO! THREE!!! }Vasco Dias: Does that count!? Did the match even begin?
Terri Morasco: Who cares, Ace just kicked Angel’s ass!
{ Ace hops up and looks to the hole now where Alexis was pulled under, he jumps in and looks around underneath. Eternity comes rolling out from under the ring as Ace pops back up with Alexis in his arms, Eternity grins very creepily as she backs up the ramp. Laszlo rolls into the ring to collect Alexis from the Ace as Jake pulls himself up and grabs the Imperial Championship. }Vasco Dias: The Ace saved the day it looks like.
Terri Morasco: The man’s a damn super hero in this country.
{ Ace calls for a mic as he looks at the fallen Angel. }Ace: I think it’s about time this company had a champion it can be proud of!
{ The crowd begins a YES chant. }Ace: And it’s about time someone put “God” in his damn place!
{ They get even louder. }Ace: THIS SUNDAY! You and me at the Heir to the Throne for the Imperial Championship!
{ The Ace slams the mic down as he holds the belt high up over his head and the crowd goes insane. }Vasco Dias: Did you hear that!? The Ace has just laid down the challenge, will Angel accept?
Terri Morasco: I don’t think he has a choice, the Ace just kicked his ass!
Vasco Dias: I think you’re right. This Sunday, the Heir to the Throne comes to an end and we may just have a new Imperial Champion and his name is Jake The Ace Conway!
{ The crowd chants “ACE” as sacrifice comes to a close. }
Well howdy there pardner.
