Jason Sage vs Ace Sky vs. Uncle LeeLee
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following three-way match is set for ONE FALL!
The whole arena stays black, and then the song starts with the scream from the track "BREAK DOWN THE WALL AGAIN!" once it does the whole arena gets illuminated in a bright flash as pyrotechnics begin and then Jason walks down the ramp in a brisk pace touching each fans hand down as he starts to jog charismatically to the ring.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, from Dallas, Texas, he is… JASON SAGE!!!
A pod drops from the bottom of the titantron to the stage and there is a countdown voice over from 5 which fans countdown to when the pod door opens. Ace Sky climbs out of the pod, wearing a aviator jacket and his usual in ring attire, he salutes a peace sign and jogs down the aisle way high-fiving as many fans as possible while alternating with gesturing to his forehead( Third Eye taunt) then he dashes with his trademark slide through the bottom ring apron. He does the Third Eye forehead point taunt again and gets into Bruce Lee style-southpaw martial arts stance.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And his first opponent, from Sugar Land, Houston, Texas, he is… ACE SKY!!!
As the chorus rings out through the arena, out comes Leonard Jergee with a red solo cup in hand, bouncing about throwing his arms out, embracing the crowd and the vibe of the night. Beer is spilling from his drink as he prances around, playing to the crowd as he makes his way down the ramp. Beer splattered all around the ramp at this point as he interacts with various ramp-side fans and sways to the music. He erratically tosses the cup to ringside and rolls in under the bottom rope and spins up to his feet. He excitedly prances around the ring as the music carries on in the background, pacing around the ring until he reaches the corner and swings both legs up as he props himself up, sitting on the corner like a hammock. He waves the ringside camera man over, who hesitates. He waves him over yet again, the camera eventually approaching him just to receive a middle finger from Leonard as he throws his head back, chuckling to himself.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And their final opponent, from Calico Rock, Arkansas, he is… UNCLE LEE LEE!!!
Bolt Thomas:
All three wrestlers are looking for a win here!
Aaron Gurst:
Do you think? Are you sure they don’t want to lose?
Bolt Thomas:
The sarcasm has been noted.
Aaron Gurst:
OK, Mr. Robot.
The bell rings and Lee Lee runs at Jason Sage and hits him with a double knee facebreaker. Ace Sky runs to the ropes before he takes Lee off of his feet with a flying clothesline. Ace covers Lee Lee.
ONE…
TWO…
KICKOUT!!!
Bolt Thomas:
An early near fall!
Aaron Gurst:
Uncle Lee Lee ain’t going out like that!
Sage is up and sends Lee to the mat with a hip toss. Ace Sky comes and hits Sage with an enziguri! Lee Lee bounces up and runs at Ace Sky with a clothesline attempt, Ace Sky rolls through and Lee bounces off the ropes, Sky catches him with a standing dropkick!
Sky covers…
ONE…
TWO…
Sage breaks up the pin!
Bolt Thomas:
And another near fall!
Aaron Gurst:
But Sage ain’t ready to lay down!
Lee Lee attempts a DDT on Sky, but Sky reverses with a back body drop. Sage is up and Sky hits him with a Shaman Plex!
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And the winner is ACE SKY!!!
Give Me What I Want!
Sang Réal, Connor Murphy and Gabriel Krown, are backstage. Krown paces back and forth, clearly agitated.
Gabriel Krown: "It is a very simple thing and I fail to understand why it is such a difficult thing for people to understand. I want Francisco Lopez in the ring at Pure Mayhem in Cincinnati, Ohio. I do not want the Devastation Championship on the line. I simply want to beat the hell out of him. I do not understand why this is difficult. I know the powers that be clearly want him and Nightmare to face each other again, and that's great. It's super. It can totally happen. But I want him first. I want him in the ring at Pure Mayhem in Cincinnati, Ohio. And Nightmare can have whatever is left when I'm done. So stop screwing around and get me a match with that coward so I can kick his ass!"
The scene fades out.
Francisco Lopez/Mud Mouth vs Nightmare/Disturbed
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL!
The arena lights fade out before the opening of "Headstrong" by Saviour begins to roll in as the lights flash in hues of purple and blue. After around 8 seconds, the lyrics kick in as we watch Nightmare make his way onto the entrance stage. His head cloaked by the zipped black hoodie he wears, we watch as he takes a few steps forward before looking out at the arena. Turning his back he pauses for a moment before beginning to walk backwards towards the ring while looking up at the arena tron. From under the hood the camera catches that sick smirk he’s known for before, after a few steps he turns around and sprints the rest of the way to the ring and slides under the bottom rope. Once inside the ring, we watch as Nightmare goes to the far right turnbuckle and stands atop the 2nd rope and throws his arms up in an X under his chin before extending his arms out to flip off the crowd. Hopping down we watch as Nightmare unzips his hoodie and tosses it to the floor before sitting in the corner, awaiting for the match to begin.
“Lords of War” hits the arena sound system as Disturbed appears at the top of the ramp. He shakes his head and calmly walks his way down to the ring.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, they are the team of NIGHTMARE and DISTURBED!!!
Bolt Thomas:
This is a strange, strange team…
Aaron Gurst:
It’s also a very dangerous team!
Bolt Thomas:
That’s true!
"Alligator Boots" by Struggle Jennings, Yelawolf begins to play as the lights dim in the arena. A single spotlight illuminates the rampway as Mud Mouth steps out from behind the curtain. He pauses on the top of the ramp and tosses his hands into the air before he makes his way down to the ring as the lights return to normal.
Wayward One starts playing as the lights turn Blue and Silver. 12 seconds into the song, Francisco Lopez appears on the stage, surrounded by smoke. He slowly makes his way to the ring, staring at his battleground as he walks around the ring. He slides into the ring, and stands in the center of the ring for a few moments, staring into the distance. He walks toward a nearby corner and stands, waiting for the match to start.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And their opponents, they are the team of MUD MOUTH and FRANCISCO LOPEZ!!
Bolt Thomas:
Another strange team, though, they’re two of the top champs in CPW today…
Aaron Gurst:
No denying just how successful the two of them are! The real question, though, is whether they can get along!
Mud Mouth steps out onto the apron and gestures for Lopez to begin the match for his team. Disturbed also steps into the ring for his team as the referee calls for the bell and the match is officially underway! Francisco Lopez takes a deep breath and charges across the ring. He fires off a series of quick right hands to wear Disturbed down! Blow after blow connects as Disturbes stumbles back from the impact. Lopez takes control and shoots Disturbed across the ring. He steps toward the middle of the ring to meet him on the rebound and powers Disturbed up into the air for a BIG back body drop! The fans cheer as the monster crashes to the mat! Lopez nods his head and bounces off of the ropes - hitting Disturbed with a knee strike that knocks him groggy!
Bolt Thomas:
The Devastation Champ is on fire right now!
Aaron Gurst:
It’ll be interesting to see if he can keep this up!
Despite the strike, Disturbed continues to pull himself back up to his feet. Francisco Lopez shakes his head and bounces off of the ropes. Just before he can do anything to Disturbed, the big man steps forward and powers Lopez into the air for a spinning side slam! Disturbed shakes his head and mumbles something to Lopez. He places both of his hands around Lopez’s throat and powers him off of the mat. He takes a few steps and throws Lopez into the turnbuckle with a choke bomb! Lopez stumbles out of the corner as Disturbed nearly kicks his head off with a big boot!
Bolt Thomas:
And just like that…
Aaron Gurst:
The monster is doing what he does best!
Disturbed drags Lopez up to his feet and knocks him off balance with a back elbow smash! Lopez staggers from the impact as Disturbed quickly powers Lopez over his head into a gorilla press position! He holds him there for a moment, stopping only when Lopez manages to fight his way out of Disturbed’s grasp! Disturbed turns around to face Lopez, who leaps into the air and hits him in the mouth with a knee strike! Disturbed stumbles from the impact as Lopez bounces off of the ropes and hits him with a bicycle kick! Disturbed stumbles back into his corner from the impact as Nightmare tags himself into the match. Lopez runs at Disturbed to keep his momentum going and is hit with a throat thrust - only to have Nightmare then springboard into the ring with a spinning wheel kick! Nightmare hooks the leg and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
Lopez kicks out!
Nightmare quickly pulls Lopez up to his feet and delivers a Welcome to Boster, Motherfucker! He hooks the leg once again and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
Lopez kicks out again!
Aaron Gurst:
This is what we love to see from Nightmare!
Bolt Thomas:
He really hasn’t missed a step…
Nightmare grabs hold of Lopez and drags him back up to his feet. He hits him with a hard slap to the face that echoes throughout the arena. The fans gasp as Nightmare then tries to hit Lopez with a spinning backfist! Lopez ducks underneath the attempt and grabs hold of Nightmare. He powers him into the air and delivers a release German Suplex! The fans cheer as Lopez lies on the mat for a moment to recover. He then makes his way over to his corner of the ring and briefly stares down Mud Mouth before tagging him into the match.
Bolt Thomas:
There was a little bit of tension there…
Aaron Gurst:
Well, Mud Mouth has something that Lopez wants!
Mud Mouth steps into the ring and looks over at Nightmare. He charges at him and hits him in the mouth with a right hand! He follows it up with a second and then a third. Nightmare responds by shoving Mud Mouth away from him! Mud Mouth staggers as Nightmare charges at him - and walks right into a flapjack! Nightmare tries to pull himself back up to his feet, though Mud Mouth bounces off of the ropes and hits him with an elbow strike! Nightmare staggers around from the impact as Mud Mouth grabs hold of the CPW legend and delivers a jawbreaker!
Bolt Thomas:
I’m liking what I’m seeing from the champ right now!
Nightmare staggers from the impact, but somehow stays on his feet. Nightmare starts to laugh as Mud Mouth pauses for a moment before leaping into the air and hitting Nightmare with a dropkick! Nightmare finally crashes to the mat as Mud Mouth drags him back up to his feet. He shoves him back against the nearby turnbuckle and hits him with a chop! He then steps back toward the center of the ring and charges forward, hitting Nightmare with a splash! Nightmare staggers out of the corner as Mud Mouth grabs hold of him. The champ taunts the crowd before trying to set Nightmare up for a CreekWater DDT!
Bolt Thomas:
Mud Mouth is looking to end this!
Just before Mud Mouth can plant him on the mat, Nightmare reverses the attempt by locking Mud Mouth into a full nelson! He plants him on the mat just seconds later with a Park Street Legsweep! Nightmare takes a few steps back and lines himself up with Mud Mouth! Mud Mouth stumbles back up to his feet as Nightmare tries to send him back down with Magnetic Knives! Mud Mouth ducks out of the way as he stumbles toward his corner of the ring. Lopez tags himself into the match! He runs across the ring and throws himself at Nightmare - hitting him with a huge spear! Nightmare staggers back up to his feet and Lopez grabs hold of him - delivering Life’s Cross! He hooks the leg and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
Disturbed breaks up the count! Mud Mouth briefly steps into the ring and considers helping his partner, but then changes his mind when Disturbed laughs. Mud Mouth steps out onto the apron, but this doesn’t stop Disturbed as he runs forward and knocks Mud Mouth down to the floor. He steps out with him and begins to brawl with the Xtreme Chaos Champion.
Bolt Thomas:
Even the thought of a challenge…
While Aaron talks up what kind of monster Disturbed is, Lopez can only stand and watch. Nightmare smirks and waits for Lopez to refocus before charging forward and hitting him with a Driver’s Side Impact! Lopez staggers from the impact as Nightmare grabs hold of him and snaps off The End of Heartache for good measure! He then hooks the leg and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The winners of this match…the team of NIGHTMARE and DISTURBED!!!
A Challenge
As the show returns from the commercial break, Claira Charisma can be seen standing backstage with a microphone in hand. Beside her stands Kelly James, wearing her helmet with the visor up. Claira smiles into the camera for a few seconds before raising her microphone to speak.
Claira Charisma:
Fans, I'm standing here with Kelly James, the former number one contender for the Xtreme Chaos Championship. Now, Kelly, you suffered a controversial defeat at Symphony of Destruction, but some might say you got some manner of revenge at the last Pure Mayhem. Can you tell us why you got involved in Mud Mouth's match with Disturbed?
Kelly James:
Well, Ms. Charisma...
She pauses for a moment, as Claira smiles but shakes her head.
Claira Charisma:
You can just call me Claira.
Kelly nods, smirking back.
Kelly James:
Claira, right. To the point. I like that. Anyway, Claira... The answer is simple. I just don't like the guy.
Claira waits for a few moments, expecting Kelly to elaborate. When she doesn't, Claira clears her throat.
Claira Charisma:
Is that all? Can't you tell us more?
Kelly frowns for a moment, then shrugs her shoulders.
Kelly James:
Look, Claira. It's like this. At the end of the day, I lost. Mud Mouth is the champion. That's the truth, I'm not goin' to debate that. If I'm bein' honest, though... He cheated, right? Unless I'm mistaken, if you all saw what I experienced, well... Muddy, over there, had to cheat to beat me. Now, I know cheatin' is the name of the game, here. Hell, I'd probably have done it if I saw the opportunity, myself. The difference is that Muddy's supposed to be the big, bad champion, right? Meanwhile, I'm just little Kelly Newbie over here. I only had a few victories to my name, prior. Despite that, though, he felt he had to cheat to beat me. And to me, well... That says a lot.
Claira Charisma:
You could certainly make that argument, yes.
Kelly James:
Of course I can, and I am. Last Mayhem, I looked into Muddy's eyes, and do you know what I saw, Claira? I saw uncertainty. I saw fear. I saw him knowin' that, had even one thing been different, I'd be standin' here with that belt. I saw all of that in those eyes, and then I whopped him right in the face. And damn, girl, did that feel good. I'd do it again, accept last time, the bridge of his nose splashed some of that ugly red on this nice paint job, here...
She reaches up, tapping her helmet.
Kelly James:
And I don't feel like buffin' any more out. What I do feel like doin', though, is tellin' everybody, everywhere, over and over again, what I saw in those eyes of his. And if he wants to argue... If he wants to prove me wrong, like I'd think he should want to do, bein' champion and all... Then all he has to do is give me another shot. He should want to prove that the last one wasn't a lucky shot, right? He should want to prove that he didn't have to cheat. That's what I'd do if I were him, anyway. Hell, I don't even care if Disturbed tags along. Maybe Muddy'll want to hide behind the big guy, or use him as an excuse, or even choose to get his head taken off by the big man instead, just to avoid lettin' me do the honors... I don't really care. All I know is if he wants me to shut up, well... He better put up, 'cuz otherwise I'm gonna keep on bein' honest about just what kind of small, frightened little man Muddy really is. And, hey, if things go too long, well...
She taps the helmet once again, turning toward the camera.
Kelly James:
I just might not mind scuffin' this beaut up again, if you catch my drift. What do you say, Muddy? I'll be around, so you go ahead and come find me if you want to have a chat.
She turns back to Claira, nodding to her.
Kelly James:
I'll be seein' you around, Claira, but if you'll excuse me... I got places to be.
She winks at Claira, slaps the visor of her helmet down, and walks off. Claira watches her go for a moment, then turns back to the camera.
Claira Charisma:
Well, there you have it, fans. It seems a challenge has been thrown down, so we'll just have to wait and see how the Xtreme Chaos Champion responds!
She smiles into the camera as the scene closes.
Avery Wright vs. Victoria Travis
Nathan Jacobs: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall...”
The arena lights go out.
I see your red door and I want it painted black
No colors any more, I want them to turn black
"Paint it Black [Epic Trailer Version]" by Hidden Citizens plays over the arena. Victoria Travis stands at the top of the ramp in the spotlight, wearing a hooded, sleeveless robe like cloak with her arms crossed over her chest and head down. With a fluid motion, she uncrosses her arms and removes her hood, spreading her arms wide and spraying poison mist. She laughs manically and walks to the ring.
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
Nathan Jacobs: “Introducing first, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, weighing 125 lbs...”the Serial Killer” Victoria Travis!”
Victory Travis climbs the stairs and steps into the ring. She pulls off her robe, spinning it and tossing outside the ring.
No colors any more, I want them to turn black
Bolt Thomas: “It looks like Slingshot Red and Avery Wright moved on from Disturbed and right against Victoria Travis. And we remember how intense the rivalry between Victoria and Slingshot Red was”
Aaron Gurst: “If I was Slingshot Red, I wouldn't want to go against Victoria a second time.”
She lowers her arms and starts stalking back and forth like a predator, her eyes on her opponent.
Nathan Jacobs: “And her opponent.”
The lights dim as "Firefly" by Breaking Benjamin begins to play. After several seconds, a pattern of star-shaped lights illuminate the arena, as "The Starlight Slugger" Avery Wright stands atop the entryway with a baseball cap pulled low over her eyes and a metal baseball bat resting on her shoulder. She lifts the cap slightly as she looks over the crowd, before beginning to head down the ramp, looking straight ahead and focused on the ring. Once reaching it, she climbs up the steps, then stops to look out at the crowd once again. Tossing the cap aside, she hops up onto the second rope near the corner, spreading her arms wide and encouraging the crowd to get louder. Springing up over the ropes and landing in the ring, she heads to the center, pointing the bat out at the crowd, then walks around the ring, pointing it out at all sides as she heads to her corner, where she finally drops the bat to the outside and leans back in the corner to await the start of the match.
Nathan Jacobs: “From Columbus, Ohio, weighing 126 pounds, she is the CPW Brutal Havok Champion...Avery Wright!”
Bolt Thomas: “These two have never faces each other one-on-one before. There is a lot of history between them.”
Aaron Gurst: “Avery Wright thinks of Victoria Travis every single time she looks at the scar on her stomach. I'm starting to see why Francisco Lopez would rather face Nightmare than Victoria. Nightmare may be merciful when he beats him.”
Bolt Thomas: “Avery Wright is tough.”
Aaron Gurst: “But there's no Slingshot Red to save her tonight.”
Victoria moves to the center of the ring. Avery does not back down from the challenge and moves out of the corner towards the center of the ring and Victoria. Before she can do anything, “the Serial Killer” sprays her in the face with the poison mist. Avery covers her face in pain. Wasting no time, Victoria drops her with the Swift End.
Bolt Thomas: “What the hell?”
Aaron Gurst: “She said she wanted to prove something.”
Victoria pulls Avery off the mat and nails another Swift End, then dumps Avery out of the ring and follows after her. She throws her into the stairs, knocking them over. “The Serial Killer” digs around under the apron and pulls out a sledgehammer and a set of handcuffs and a sledgehammer.
Bolt Thomas: “What the hell is she doing?”
Aaron Gurst: “Nothing good.”
Victoria grabs Avery and cuffs her to the ringpost. She pulls out three chairs and tosses two on the opposite sides of the ring. The third she just slams right into Avery and tosses it aside.. She raises the sledgehammer, showing it to everyone.
Aaron Gurst: “Why does the fact she's not laughing scare me more than if she was?”
Victoria motions for a mic and then takes one from ringside. She smiles and walks over to Avery, resting her hand on the pommel of the sledgehammer.
Victoria Travis: “So, hero, here we are. Now, I'm going to take this hammer and, well...I'll say use your imagination what I can do with it. But, Harper, we both know I can be very creative. I could break her ribs, or smash her knee like a dinner plate. I could do both. But that's not the question. The question is, hero, how are you going to stop me from doing it?”
Bolt Thomas: “Somebody stop her! Where is security?!”
Aaron Gurst: “When has security ever stopped anything here? Like anything at all? Disturbed's career shows we don't have security.”
“The Serial Killer” sets the sledgehammer down, and moves her hand from the pommel, and starts to count.
One....
Two...
Three...
Four...
Five...
Six...
Slingshot Red comes running down the ramp and around the ring. She grabs the chair and swings the chair, cracking it over Victoria. From behind. Victoria staggers, but manages to hold on to the mic.. She smiles.
Victoria Travis: “Come on hero! Finish it!”
Victoria Travis spreads her arms, dropping the mic, her back completely exposed to Slingshot Red, who again blasts her from behind with the chair. Victoria staggers and drops against the barricade, trying ot keep her feet. She laughs as Slingshot Red brings the chair down over her. “The Serial Killer” drops onto the floor. Slingshot Red goes to check on Avery, trying to get the handcuffs off. Victoria manages to roll on her side, keeping her eyes on Red and Avery. She's smiling.
Bolt Thomas: “I don't know what Victoria wanted to accomplish, but she looks satisfied.”
Aaron Gurst: “And that's a scary thought.”
Victoria starts to laugh as trainers come down to help Slingshot Red get the handcuffs off.
Summer Dreams vs Duke & Ava
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL!
“Superstars” hits the arena sound system as the fans are immediately on their feet. A few seconds later, Joe and Denni come out from the back with smirks on their faces. The two of them look around the crowd and nod. They then begin to make their way down to the ring, slapping hands with fans as they do so.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, they are…SUMMER DREAMS!!!
Bolt Thomas:
They look like they’re excited for this one!
Aaron Gurst:
I just hope for their sake they can stay focused!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And their opponents…
As the scathing guitar riffs of Scorpion Child's "Acid Roulette" through the PA the lights dim down low. On the tron appears the image of Duke and Ava Jupiter standing in front of a massive bonfire. Orange lights come up as Duke and Ava emerge from behind the curtain as smoke fills the entrance way and ring area. Ava holds up a fist lit with red light and Duke smirks and tosses his arms to his sides and his head to the sky. They hold these poses for a moment before stepping into action.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
They are the current Triple Crown Champions…DUKE & AVA!!
Bolt Thomas:
Of course, this won’t be easy! Not considering that Joe and Denni are against two people they have quite a bit of history against…
Aaron Gurst:
This should be fun!
Before anyone can take their place in the ring, the tron briefly roars to life with the smiling face of Captain Howdy. It lingers for a moment before fading.
Bolt Thomas:
That was…
Aaron Gurst:
Creepy.
In an effort to keep control of the situation, Joe steps into the ring to get things started for his team. Duke does the same for his team. The referee then calls for the bell and the match is officially underway. Joe and Duke both circle around the ring a few times before meeting in the center and grappling up. They briefly struggle for the advantage. Duke then takes control, driving Joe back against the ropes and hitting him with a chop to the chest. He follows it up with a second before shooting Joe across the ring. Duke steps toward the center of the ring to meet him, but before he can do anything to Joe on the rebound, Joe leaps into the air and takes Duke down with a flying forearm smash! The fans cheer as Joe kips back up to his feet. Duke staggers up to his own feet a moment later, only to have Joe rush at him and deliver a jumping knee strike that knocks Duke back against the ropes! Duke stumbles forward as Joe lifts him into the air for a flapjack!
Bolt Thomas:
We’ve seen these two have plenty of classic matches over the years!
Aaron Gurst:
I’m sure they could have another one, too!
Duke tries to pull himself back up to his feet. Joe charges at him and delivers a quick forearm strike to knock Duke off balance. He then pulls Duke in toward him and tries to lift him into the air for a suplex, though Duke is able to reverse the attempt! He powers Joe into the air for a Northern Lights Suplex, bridging it directly into a pin attempt for the…
ONE!
TWO!
Joe kicks out! Joe tries to pull himself back up to his feet, but Duke grabs hold of him and delivers a Russian Leg Sweep for the…
ONE!
TWO!
Joe kicks out again!
Bolt Thomas:
And now it’s Duke Jupiter who’s beginning to take control!
Aaron Gurst:
Watching these two go at it really takes me back!
Duke grabs hold of Joe and pulls him back up to his feet. He closes the gap between the two of them and hits Joe with a few quick elbow shots to wear him down. He then shoves Joe back into his corner of the ring. Duke tags Ava into the match. She steps into the ring and hurries over toward the center of the ring. She then charges toward the corner and hits Joe with a running kick! Joe stumbles out of the corner as Ava bounces off of the ropes and tries to plant him on the mat with a bulldog! Joe catches Ava in the air and lifts her up into the air, delivering a back suplex! He bridges it into a pin attempt for the…
ONE!
TWO!
Ava kicks out!
Bolt Thomas:
Ava was beginning to gain some momentum, but Joe turned that around quickly!
Aaron Gurst:
And it looks to me like Denni can’t wait to get in this match!
Sure enough, Denni stands on the apron and desperately calls for the tag. Joe notices and hurries across the ring, tagging her into the match. Denni steps into the ring and charges across the ring, hitting Ava with a forearm smash, and then a second, and then a third. The fans cheer Denni on as she bounces across the ring, seemingly trying to line Ava up for a Taste of Perfection! Before she can do anything, Ava cuts her off with a dropkick! Denni crashes to the mat, but quickly shakes her head and pulls herself back up to her feet. Ava grabs hold of her and tries to transition Denni into a headlock! Denni quickly shoves Ava away from her. She stumbles a few steps before recovering and charging at Denni - only to get caught with a drop-toe-hold!
Bolt Thomas:
Denni had her well scouted there!
Aaron Gurst:
She and Ava have some history, Dolty! Denni wants to do well in this one!
The fans suddenly start to talk loudly as Captain Howdy appears in the stands, staring out at Denni. Denni catches a glimpse of him and freezes. She tries to refocus her attention on Ava, who grabs hold of Denni and rolls her up for the…
ONE!
TWO!
Denni kicks out!
Denni tries to pull herself back up to her feet. Ava closes the gap between the two of them and quickly tries to Hypnotize Denni! Denni responds by shoving Ava away from her! Ava stumbles a few steps as Denni runs over toward her and delivers a kick to the ribs! Ava doubles over in pain as Denni tries to leap into the air to send Ava crashing to the mat with a fameasser! Ava ducks out of the way of the attempt as Denni crashes to the mat instead! Her eyes go wide in pain as Ava quickly bounces off of the ropes and tries to catch Denni with a shining wizard! Denni ducks underneath the attempt and rolls Ava up for the…
ONE!
TWO!
TH—Ava kicks out! Ava stumbles over to the nearest turnbuckle and uses them to pull herself back up to her feet. Before she can fully recover, Denni charges over without hesitation and delivers a Taste of Perfection! Ava slumps over as Denni yells out and immediately bounces off of the ropes to deliver a second Taste of Perfection! She gets halfway across the ring, when suddenly, the lights completely cut out.
Bolt Thomas:
What’s going on?
Aaron Gurst:
I’ve got a bad feeling about this…
The sound of laughter echoes throughout the arena. Suddenly, when the lights come back on, Captain Howdy is standing in the center of the ring. He looks at Denni and continues to laugh. Denni freezes as she tries to figure out what her next course of action should be. Captain Howdy slowly approaches her. Before he can do anything, however, Joe Summers springboards into the ring and hits Captain Howdy with a knee strike! The demon stumbles from the impact but pulls himself back up to his feet. Joe throws Captain Howdy over toward Denni as she leaps into the air and hits him with a Taste of Perfection!
Bolt Thomas:
Some quick thinking from Joe and some teamwork may have helped Denni avoid a disaster!
Aaron Gurst:
I mean…he’s still laughing!
Sure enough, even though Captain Howdy stumbles out of the ring and begins to head toward the back, he’s laughing the entire way. Joe turns his attention toward Denni and tries to check on her. Suddenly, Duke Jupiter steps back into the ring. Joe notices just as Duke runs at him and delivers a spear! Both men hit the mat and roll out of the floor, Duke and Joe brawling with one another around the ring. Denni takes a deep breath and refocus her attention on Ava - who steps forward and hits Denni with a side kick that sends her crashing to the mat.
Bolt Thomas:
All of that gave Ava a chance to recover!
Denni crashes to the mat as Ava smirks and grabs hold of her legs. She quickly locks Denni into a figure four in the center of the ring. Denni yells out in pain and starts to cry as she desperately taps on the mat.
Denni Summers:
I quit! I quit! I quit!
Denni continues to tap even after the referee calls for the bell. Ava smirks and finally releases the hold.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The winners of this match…DUKE AND AVA JUPITER!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Duke and Ava pick up a HUGE win, but the real story of this match might just be Captain Howdy…
Aaron Gurst:
He wasn’t supposed to be here tonight, but he sure made his presence felt!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following three-way match is set for ONE FALL!
The whole arena stays black, and then the song starts with the scream from the track "BREAK DOWN THE WALL AGAIN!" once it does the whole arena gets illuminated in a bright flash as pyrotechnics begin and then Jason walks down the ramp in a brisk pace touching each fans hand down as he starts to jog charismatically to the ring.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, from Dallas, Texas, he is… JASON SAGE!!!
A pod drops from the bottom of the titantron to the stage and there is a countdown voice over from 5 which fans countdown to when the pod door opens. Ace Sky climbs out of the pod, wearing a aviator jacket and his usual in ring attire, he salutes a peace sign and jogs down the aisle way high-fiving as many fans as possible while alternating with gesturing to his forehead( Third Eye taunt) then he dashes with his trademark slide through the bottom ring apron. He does the Third Eye forehead point taunt again and gets into Bruce Lee style-southpaw martial arts stance.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And his first opponent, from Sugar Land, Houston, Texas, he is… ACE SKY!!!
As the chorus rings out through the arena, out comes Leonard Jergee with a red solo cup in hand, bouncing about throwing his arms out, embracing the crowd and the vibe of the night. Beer is spilling from his drink as he prances around, playing to the crowd as he makes his way down the ramp. Beer splattered all around the ramp at this point as he interacts with various ramp-side fans and sways to the music. He erratically tosses the cup to ringside and rolls in under the bottom rope and spins up to his feet. He excitedly prances around the ring as the music carries on in the background, pacing around the ring until he reaches the corner and swings both legs up as he props himself up, sitting on the corner like a hammock. He waves the ringside camera man over, who hesitates. He waves him over yet again, the camera eventually approaching him just to receive a middle finger from Leonard as he throws his head back, chuckling to himself.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And their final opponent, from Calico Rock, Arkansas, he is… UNCLE LEE LEE!!!
Bolt Thomas:
All three wrestlers are looking for a win here!
Aaron Gurst:
Do you think? Are you sure they don’t want to lose?
Bolt Thomas:
The sarcasm has been noted.
Aaron Gurst:
OK, Mr. Robot.
The bell rings and Lee Lee runs at Jason Sage and hits him with a double knee facebreaker. Ace Sky runs to the ropes before he takes Lee off of his feet with a flying clothesline. Ace covers Lee Lee.
ONE…
TWO…
KICKOUT!!!
Bolt Thomas:
An early near fall!
Aaron Gurst:
Uncle Lee Lee ain’t going out like that!
Sage is up and sends Lee to the mat with a hip toss. Ace Sky comes and hits Sage with an enziguri! Lee Lee bounces up and runs at Ace Sky with a clothesline attempt, Ace Sky rolls through and Lee bounces off the ropes, Sky catches him with a standing dropkick!
Sky covers…

Sage breaks up the pin!
Bolt Thomas:
And another near fall!
Aaron Gurst:

Lee Lee attempts a DDT on Sky, but Sky reverses with a back body drop. Sage is up and Sky hits him with a Shaman Plex!
ONE…

THREE!!!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And the winner is ACE SKY!!!
Give Me What I Want!
Sang Réal, Connor Murphy and Gabriel Krown, are backstage. Krown paces back and forth, clearly agitated.
Gabriel Krown: "It is a very simple thing and I fail to understand why it is such a difficult thing for people to understand. I want Francisco Lopez in the ring at Pure Mayhem in Cincinnati, Ohio. I do not want the Devastation Championship on the line. I simply want to beat the hell out of him. I do not understand why this is difficult. I know the powers that be clearly want him and Nightmare to face each other again, and that's great. It's super. It can totally happen. But I want him first. I want him in the ring at Pure Mayhem in Cincinnati, Ohio. And Nightmare can have whatever is left when I'm done. So stop screwing around and get me a match with that coward so I can kick his ass!"
The scene fades out.
Francisco Lopez/Mud Mouth vs Nightmare/Disturbed
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL!
The arena lights fade out before the opening of "Headstrong" by Saviour begins to roll in as the lights flash in hues of purple and blue. After around 8 seconds, the lyrics kick in as we watch Nightmare make his way onto the entrance stage. His head cloaked by the zipped black hoodie he wears, we watch as he takes a few steps forward before looking out at the arena. Turning his back he pauses for a moment before beginning to walk backwards towards the ring while looking up at the arena tron. From under the hood the camera catches that sick smirk he’s known for before, after a few steps he turns around and sprints the rest of the way to the ring and slides under the bottom rope. Once inside the ring, we watch as Nightmare goes to the far right turnbuckle and stands atop the 2nd rope and throws his arms up in an X under his chin before extending his arms out to flip off the crowd. Hopping down we watch as Nightmare unzips his hoodie and tosses it to the floor before sitting in the corner, awaiting for the match to begin.
“Lords of War” hits the arena sound system as Disturbed appears at the top of the ramp. He shakes his head and calmly walks his way down to the ring.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, they are the team of NIGHTMARE and DISTURBED!!!
Bolt Thomas:
This is a strange, strange team…
Aaron Gurst:
It’s also a very dangerous team!
Bolt Thomas:
That’s true!
"Alligator Boots" by Struggle Jennings, Yelawolf begins to play as the lights dim in the arena. A single spotlight illuminates the rampway as Mud Mouth steps out from behind the curtain. He pauses on the top of the ramp and tosses his hands into the air before he makes his way down to the ring as the lights return to normal.
Wayward One starts playing as the lights turn Blue and Silver. 12 seconds into the song, Francisco Lopez appears on the stage, surrounded by smoke. He slowly makes his way to the ring, staring at his battleground as he walks around the ring. He slides into the ring, and stands in the center of the ring for a few moments, staring into the distance. He walks toward a nearby corner and stands, waiting for the match to start.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And their opponents, they are the team of MUD MOUTH and FRANCISCO LOPEZ!!
Bolt Thomas:
Another strange team, though, they’re two of the top champs in CPW today…
Aaron Gurst:
No denying just how successful the two of them are! The real question, though, is whether they can get along!
Mud Mouth steps out onto the apron and gestures for Lopez to begin the match for his team. Disturbed also steps into the ring for his team as the referee calls for the bell and the match is officially underway! Francisco Lopez takes a deep breath and charges across the ring. He fires off a series of quick right hands to wear Disturbed down! Blow after blow connects as Disturbes stumbles back from the impact. Lopez takes control and shoots Disturbed across the ring. He steps toward the middle of the ring to meet him on the rebound and powers Disturbed up into the air for a BIG back body drop! The fans cheer as the monster crashes to the mat! Lopez nods his head and bounces off of the ropes - hitting Disturbed with a knee strike that knocks him groggy!
Bolt Thomas:
The Devastation Champ is on fire right now!
Aaron Gurst:
It’ll be interesting to see if he can keep this up!
Despite the strike, Disturbed continues to pull himself back up to his feet. Francisco Lopez shakes his head and bounces off of the ropes. Just before he can do anything to Disturbed, the big man steps forward and powers Lopez into the air for a spinning side slam! Disturbed shakes his head and mumbles something to Lopez. He places both of his hands around Lopez’s throat and powers him off of the mat. He takes a few steps and throws Lopez into the turnbuckle with a choke bomb! Lopez stumbles out of the corner as Disturbed nearly kicks his head off with a big boot!
Bolt Thomas:
And just like that…
Aaron Gurst:
The monster is doing what he does best!
Disturbed drags Lopez up to his feet and knocks him off balance with a back elbow smash! Lopez staggers from the impact as Disturbed quickly powers Lopez over his head into a gorilla press position! He holds him there for a moment, stopping only when Lopez manages to fight his way out of Disturbed’s grasp! Disturbed turns around to face Lopez, who leaps into the air and hits him in the mouth with a knee strike! Disturbed stumbles from the impact as Lopez bounces off of the ropes and hits him with a bicycle kick! Disturbed stumbles back into his corner from the impact as Nightmare tags himself into the match. Lopez runs at Disturbed to keep his momentum going and is hit with a throat thrust - only to have Nightmare then springboard into the ring with a spinning wheel kick! Nightmare hooks the leg and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
Lopez kicks out!
Nightmare quickly pulls Lopez up to his feet and delivers a Welcome to Boster, Motherfucker! He hooks the leg once again and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
Lopez kicks out again!
Aaron Gurst:
This is what we love to see from Nightmare!
Bolt Thomas:
He really hasn’t missed a step…
Nightmare grabs hold of Lopez and drags him back up to his feet. He hits him with a hard slap to the face that echoes throughout the arena. The fans gasp as Nightmare then tries to hit Lopez with a spinning backfist! Lopez ducks underneath the attempt and grabs hold of Nightmare. He powers him into the air and delivers a release German Suplex! The fans cheer as Lopez lies on the mat for a moment to recover. He then makes his way over to his corner of the ring and briefly stares down Mud Mouth before tagging him into the match.
Bolt Thomas:
There was a little bit of tension there…
Aaron Gurst:
Well, Mud Mouth has something that Lopez wants!
Mud Mouth steps into the ring and looks over at Nightmare. He charges at him and hits him in the mouth with a right hand! He follows it up with a second and then a third. Nightmare responds by shoving Mud Mouth away from him! Mud Mouth staggers as Nightmare charges at him - and walks right into a flapjack! Nightmare tries to pull himself back up to his feet, though Mud Mouth bounces off of the ropes and hits him with an elbow strike! Nightmare staggers around from the impact as Mud Mouth grabs hold of the CPW legend and delivers a jawbreaker!
Bolt Thomas:
I’m liking what I’m seeing from the champ right now!
Nightmare staggers from the impact, but somehow stays on his feet. Nightmare starts to laugh as Mud Mouth pauses for a moment before leaping into the air and hitting Nightmare with a dropkick! Nightmare finally crashes to the mat as Mud Mouth drags him back up to his feet. He shoves him back against the nearby turnbuckle and hits him with a chop! He then steps back toward the center of the ring and charges forward, hitting Nightmare with a splash! Nightmare staggers out of the corner as Mud Mouth grabs hold of him. The champ taunts the crowd before trying to set Nightmare up for a CreekWater DDT!
Bolt Thomas:
Mud Mouth is looking to end this!
Just before Mud Mouth can plant him on the mat, Nightmare reverses the attempt by locking Mud Mouth into a full nelson! He plants him on the mat just seconds later with a Park Street Legsweep! Nightmare takes a few steps back and lines himself up with Mud Mouth! Mud Mouth stumbles back up to his feet as Nightmare tries to send him back down with Magnetic Knives! Mud Mouth ducks out of the way as he stumbles toward his corner of the ring. Lopez tags himself into the match! He runs across the ring and throws himself at Nightmare - hitting him with a huge spear! Nightmare staggers back up to his feet and Lopez grabs hold of him - delivering Life’s Cross! He hooks the leg and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
Disturbed breaks up the count! Mud Mouth briefly steps into the ring and considers helping his partner, but then changes his mind when Disturbed laughs. Mud Mouth steps out onto the apron, but this doesn’t stop Disturbed as he runs forward and knocks Mud Mouth down to the floor. He steps out with him and begins to brawl with the Xtreme Chaos Champion.
Bolt Thomas:
Even the thought of a challenge…
While Aaron talks up what kind of monster Disturbed is, Lopez can only stand and watch. Nightmare smirks and waits for Lopez to refocus before charging forward and hitting him with a Driver’s Side Impact! Lopez staggers from the impact as Nightmare grabs hold of him and snaps off The End of Heartache for good measure! He then hooks the leg and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The winners of this match…the team of NIGHTMARE and DISTURBED!!!
A Challenge
As the show returns from the commercial break, Claira Charisma can be seen standing backstage with a microphone in hand. Beside her stands Kelly James, wearing her helmet with the visor up. Claira smiles into the camera for a few seconds before raising her microphone to speak.
Claira Charisma:
Fans, I'm standing here with Kelly James, the former number one contender for the Xtreme Chaos Championship. Now, Kelly, you suffered a controversial defeat at Symphony of Destruction, but some might say you got some manner of revenge at the last Pure Mayhem. Can you tell us why you got involved in Mud Mouth's match with Disturbed?
Kelly James:
Well, Ms. Charisma...
She pauses for a moment, as Claira smiles but shakes her head.
Claira Charisma:
You can just call me Claira.
Kelly nods, smirking back.
Kelly James:
Claira, right. To the point. I like that. Anyway, Claira... The answer is simple. I just don't like the guy.
Claira waits for a few moments, expecting Kelly to elaborate. When she doesn't, Claira clears her throat.
Claira Charisma:
Is that all? Can't you tell us more?
Kelly frowns for a moment, then shrugs her shoulders.
Kelly James:
Look, Claira. It's like this. At the end of the day, I lost. Mud Mouth is the champion. That's the truth, I'm not goin' to debate that. If I'm bein' honest, though... He cheated, right? Unless I'm mistaken, if you all saw what I experienced, well... Muddy, over there, had to cheat to beat me. Now, I know cheatin' is the name of the game, here. Hell, I'd probably have done it if I saw the opportunity, myself. The difference is that Muddy's supposed to be the big, bad champion, right? Meanwhile, I'm just little Kelly Newbie over here. I only had a few victories to my name, prior. Despite that, though, he felt he had to cheat to beat me. And to me, well... That says a lot.
Claira Charisma:
You could certainly make that argument, yes.
Kelly James:
Of course I can, and I am. Last Mayhem, I looked into Muddy's eyes, and do you know what I saw, Claira? I saw uncertainty. I saw fear. I saw him knowin' that, had even one thing been different, I'd be standin' here with that belt. I saw all of that in those eyes, and then I whopped him right in the face. And damn, girl, did that feel good. I'd do it again, accept last time, the bridge of his nose splashed some of that ugly red on this nice paint job, here...
She reaches up, tapping her helmet.
Kelly James:
And I don't feel like buffin' any more out. What I do feel like doin', though, is tellin' everybody, everywhere, over and over again, what I saw in those eyes of his. And if he wants to argue... If he wants to prove me wrong, like I'd think he should want to do, bein' champion and all... Then all he has to do is give me another shot. He should want to prove that the last one wasn't a lucky shot, right? He should want to prove that he didn't have to cheat. That's what I'd do if I were him, anyway. Hell, I don't even care if Disturbed tags along. Maybe Muddy'll want to hide behind the big guy, or use him as an excuse, or even choose to get his head taken off by the big man instead, just to avoid lettin' me do the honors... I don't really care. All I know is if he wants me to shut up, well... He better put up, 'cuz otherwise I'm gonna keep on bein' honest about just what kind of small, frightened little man Muddy really is. And, hey, if things go too long, well...
She taps the helmet once again, turning toward the camera.
Kelly James:
I just might not mind scuffin' this beaut up again, if you catch my drift. What do you say, Muddy? I'll be around, so you go ahead and come find me if you want to have a chat.
She turns back to Claira, nodding to her.
Kelly James:
I'll be seein' you around, Claira, but if you'll excuse me... I got places to be.
She winks at Claira, slaps the visor of her helmet down, and walks off. Claira watches her go for a moment, then turns back to the camera.
Claira Charisma:
Well, there you have it, fans. It seems a challenge has been thrown down, so we'll just have to wait and see how the Xtreme Chaos Champion responds!
She smiles into the camera as the scene closes.
Avery Wright vs. Victoria Travis
Nathan Jacobs: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall...”
The arena lights go out.
I see your red door and I want it painted black
No colors any more, I want them to turn black
"Paint it Black [Epic Trailer Version]" by Hidden Citizens plays over the arena. Victoria Travis stands at the top of the ramp in the spotlight, wearing a hooded, sleeveless robe like cloak with her arms crossed over her chest and head down. With a fluid motion, she uncrosses her arms and removes her hood, spreading her arms wide and spraying poison mist. She laughs manically and walks to the ring.
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
Nathan Jacobs: “Introducing first, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, weighing 125 lbs...”the Serial Killer” Victoria Travis!”
Victory Travis climbs the stairs and steps into the ring. She pulls off her robe, spinning it and tossing outside the ring.
No colors any more, I want them to turn black
Bolt Thomas: “It looks like Slingshot Red and Avery Wright moved on from Disturbed and right against Victoria Travis. And we remember how intense the rivalry between Victoria and Slingshot Red was”
Aaron Gurst: “If I was Slingshot Red, I wouldn't want to go against Victoria a second time.”
She lowers her arms and starts stalking back and forth like a predator, her eyes on her opponent.
Nathan Jacobs: “And her opponent.”
The lights dim as "Firefly" by Breaking Benjamin begins to play. After several seconds, a pattern of star-shaped lights illuminate the arena, as "The Starlight Slugger" Avery Wright stands atop the entryway with a baseball cap pulled low over her eyes and a metal baseball bat resting on her shoulder. She lifts the cap slightly as she looks over the crowd, before beginning to head down the ramp, looking straight ahead and focused on the ring. Once reaching it, she climbs up the steps, then stops to look out at the crowd once again. Tossing the cap aside, she hops up onto the second rope near the corner, spreading her arms wide and encouraging the crowd to get louder. Springing up over the ropes and landing in the ring, she heads to the center, pointing the bat out at the crowd, then walks around the ring, pointing it out at all sides as she heads to her corner, where she finally drops the bat to the outside and leans back in the corner to await the start of the match.
Nathan Jacobs: “From Columbus, Ohio, weighing 126 pounds, she is the CPW Brutal Havok Champion...Avery Wright!”
Bolt Thomas: “These two have never faces each other one-on-one before. There is a lot of history between them.”
Aaron Gurst: “Avery Wright thinks of Victoria Travis every single time she looks at the scar on her stomach. I'm starting to see why Francisco Lopez would rather face Nightmare than Victoria. Nightmare may be merciful when he beats him.”
Bolt Thomas: “Avery Wright is tough.”
Aaron Gurst: “But there's no Slingshot Red to save her tonight.”
Victoria moves to the center of the ring. Avery does not back down from the challenge and moves out of the corner towards the center of the ring and Victoria. Before she can do anything, “the Serial Killer” sprays her in the face with the poison mist. Avery covers her face in pain. Wasting no time, Victoria drops her with the Swift End.
Bolt Thomas: “What the hell?”
Aaron Gurst: “She said she wanted to prove something.”
Victoria pulls Avery off the mat and nails another Swift End, then dumps Avery out of the ring and follows after her. She throws her into the stairs, knocking them over. “The Serial Killer” digs around under the apron and pulls out a sledgehammer and a set of handcuffs and a sledgehammer.
Bolt Thomas: “What the hell is she doing?”
Aaron Gurst: “Nothing good.”
Victoria grabs Avery and cuffs her to the ringpost. She pulls out three chairs and tosses two on the opposite sides of the ring. The third she just slams right into Avery and tosses it aside.. She raises the sledgehammer, showing it to everyone.
Aaron Gurst: “Why does the fact she's not laughing scare me more than if she was?”
Victoria motions for a mic and then takes one from ringside. She smiles and walks over to Avery, resting her hand on the pommel of the sledgehammer.
Victoria Travis: “So, hero, here we are. Now, I'm going to take this hammer and, well...I'll say use your imagination what I can do with it. But, Harper, we both know I can be very creative. I could break her ribs, or smash her knee like a dinner plate. I could do both. But that's not the question. The question is, hero, how are you going to stop me from doing it?”
Bolt Thomas: “Somebody stop her! Where is security?!”
Aaron Gurst: “When has security ever stopped anything here? Like anything at all? Disturbed's career shows we don't have security.”
“The Serial Killer” sets the sledgehammer down, and moves her hand from the pommel, and starts to count.
One....
Two...
Three...
Four...
Five...
Six...
Slingshot Red comes running down the ramp and around the ring. She grabs the chair and swings the chair, cracking it over Victoria. From behind. Victoria staggers, but manages to hold on to the mic.. She smiles.
Victoria Travis: “Come on hero! Finish it!”
Victoria Travis spreads her arms, dropping the mic, her back completely exposed to Slingshot Red, who again blasts her from behind with the chair. Victoria staggers and drops against the barricade, trying ot keep her feet. She laughs as Slingshot Red brings the chair down over her. “The Serial Killer” drops onto the floor. Slingshot Red goes to check on Avery, trying to get the handcuffs off. Victoria manages to roll on her side, keeping her eyes on Red and Avery. She's smiling.
Bolt Thomas: “I don't know what Victoria wanted to accomplish, but she looks satisfied.”
Aaron Gurst: “And that's a scary thought.”
Victoria starts to laugh as trainers come down to help Slingshot Red get the handcuffs off.
Summer Dreams vs Duke & Ava
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL!
“Superstars” hits the arena sound system as the fans are immediately on their feet. A few seconds later, Joe and Denni come out from the back with smirks on their faces. The two of them look around the crowd and nod. They then begin to make their way down to the ring, slapping hands with fans as they do so.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, they are…SUMMER DREAMS!!!
Bolt Thomas:
They look like they’re excited for this one!
Aaron Gurst:
I just hope for their sake they can stay focused!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And their opponents…
As the scathing guitar riffs of Scorpion Child's "Acid Roulette" through the PA the lights dim down low. On the tron appears the image of Duke and Ava Jupiter standing in front of a massive bonfire. Orange lights come up as Duke and Ava emerge from behind the curtain as smoke fills the entrance way and ring area. Ava holds up a fist lit with red light and Duke smirks and tosses his arms to his sides and his head to the sky. They hold these poses for a moment before stepping into action.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
They are the current Triple Crown Champions…DUKE & AVA!!
Bolt Thomas:
Of course, this won’t be easy! Not considering that Joe and Denni are against two people they have quite a bit of history against…
Aaron Gurst:
This should be fun!
Before anyone can take their place in the ring, the tron briefly roars to life with the smiling face of Captain Howdy. It lingers for a moment before fading.
Bolt Thomas:
That was…
Aaron Gurst:
Creepy.
In an effort to keep control of the situation, Joe steps into the ring to get things started for his team. Duke does the same for his team. The referee then calls for the bell and the match is officially underway. Joe and Duke both circle around the ring a few times before meeting in the center and grappling up. They briefly struggle for the advantage. Duke then takes control, driving Joe back against the ropes and hitting him with a chop to the chest. He follows it up with a second before shooting Joe across the ring. Duke steps toward the center of the ring to meet him, but before he can do anything to Joe on the rebound, Joe leaps into the air and takes Duke down with a flying forearm smash! The fans cheer as Joe kips back up to his feet. Duke staggers up to his own feet a moment later, only to have Joe rush at him and deliver a jumping knee strike that knocks Duke back against the ropes! Duke stumbles forward as Joe lifts him into the air for a flapjack!
Bolt Thomas:
We’ve seen these two have plenty of classic matches over the years!
Aaron Gurst:
I’m sure they could have another one, too!
Duke tries to pull himself back up to his feet. Joe charges at him and delivers a quick forearm strike to knock Duke off balance. He then pulls Duke in toward him and tries to lift him into the air for a suplex, though Duke is able to reverse the attempt! He powers Joe into the air for a Northern Lights Suplex, bridging it directly into a pin attempt for the…
ONE!
TWO!
Joe kicks out! Joe tries to pull himself back up to his feet, but Duke grabs hold of him and delivers a Russian Leg Sweep for the…
ONE!
TWO!
Joe kicks out again!
Bolt Thomas:
And now it’s Duke Jupiter who’s beginning to take control!
Aaron Gurst:
Watching these two go at it really takes me back!
Duke grabs hold of Joe and pulls him back up to his feet. He closes the gap between the two of them and hits Joe with a few quick elbow shots to wear him down. He then shoves Joe back into his corner of the ring. Duke tags Ava into the match. She steps into the ring and hurries over toward the center of the ring. She then charges toward the corner and hits Joe with a running kick! Joe stumbles out of the corner as Ava bounces off of the ropes and tries to plant him on the mat with a bulldog! Joe catches Ava in the air and lifts her up into the air, delivering a back suplex! He bridges it into a pin attempt for the…
ONE!
TWO!
Ava kicks out!
Bolt Thomas:
Ava was beginning to gain some momentum, but Joe turned that around quickly!
Aaron Gurst:
And it looks to me like Denni can’t wait to get in this match!
Sure enough, Denni stands on the apron and desperately calls for the tag. Joe notices and hurries across the ring, tagging her into the match. Denni steps into the ring and charges across the ring, hitting Ava with a forearm smash, and then a second, and then a third. The fans cheer Denni on as she bounces across the ring, seemingly trying to line Ava up for a Taste of Perfection! Before she can do anything, Ava cuts her off with a dropkick! Denni crashes to the mat, but quickly shakes her head and pulls herself back up to her feet. Ava grabs hold of her and tries to transition Denni into a headlock! Denni quickly shoves Ava away from her. She stumbles a few steps before recovering and charging at Denni - only to get caught with a drop-toe-hold!
Bolt Thomas:
Denni had her well scouted there!
Aaron Gurst:
She and Ava have some history, Dolty! Denni wants to do well in this one!
The fans suddenly start to talk loudly as Captain Howdy appears in the stands, staring out at Denni. Denni catches a glimpse of him and freezes. She tries to refocus her attention on Ava, who grabs hold of Denni and rolls her up for the…
ONE!
TWO!
Denni kicks out!
Denni tries to pull herself back up to her feet. Ava closes the gap between the two of them and quickly tries to Hypnotize Denni! Denni responds by shoving Ava away from her! Ava stumbles a few steps as Denni runs over toward her and delivers a kick to the ribs! Ava doubles over in pain as Denni tries to leap into the air to send Ava crashing to the mat with a fameasser! Ava ducks out of the way of the attempt as Denni crashes to the mat instead! Her eyes go wide in pain as Ava quickly bounces off of the ropes and tries to catch Denni with a shining wizard! Denni ducks underneath the attempt and rolls Ava up for the…
ONE!
TWO!
TH—Ava kicks out! Ava stumbles over to the nearest turnbuckle and uses them to pull herself back up to her feet. Before she can fully recover, Denni charges over without hesitation and delivers a Taste of Perfection! Ava slumps over as Denni yells out and immediately bounces off of the ropes to deliver a second Taste of Perfection! She gets halfway across the ring, when suddenly, the lights completely cut out.
Bolt Thomas:
What’s going on?
Aaron Gurst:
I’ve got a bad feeling about this…
The sound of laughter echoes throughout the arena. Suddenly, when the lights come back on, Captain Howdy is standing in the center of the ring. He looks at Denni and continues to laugh. Denni freezes as she tries to figure out what her next course of action should be. Captain Howdy slowly approaches her. Before he can do anything, however, Joe Summers springboards into the ring and hits Captain Howdy with a knee strike! The demon stumbles from the impact but pulls himself back up to his feet. Joe throws Captain Howdy over toward Denni as she leaps into the air and hits him with a Taste of Perfection!
Bolt Thomas:
Some quick thinking from Joe and some teamwork may have helped Denni avoid a disaster!
Aaron Gurst:
I mean…he’s still laughing!
Sure enough, even though Captain Howdy stumbles out of the ring and begins to head toward the back, he’s laughing the entire way. Joe turns his attention toward Denni and tries to check on her. Suddenly, Duke Jupiter steps back into the ring. Joe notices just as Duke runs at him and delivers a spear! Both men hit the mat and roll out of the floor, Duke and Joe brawling with one another around the ring. Denni takes a deep breath and refocus her attention on Ava - who steps forward and hits Denni with a side kick that sends her crashing to the mat.
Bolt Thomas:
All of that gave Ava a chance to recover!
Denni crashes to the mat as Ava smirks and grabs hold of her legs. She quickly locks Denni into a figure four in the center of the ring. Denni yells out in pain and starts to cry as she desperately taps on the mat.
Denni Summers:
I quit! I quit! I quit!
Denni continues to tap even after the referee calls for the bell. Ava smirks and finally releases the hold.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The winners of this match…DUKE AND AVA JUPITER!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Duke and Ava pick up a HUGE win, but the real story of this match might just be Captain Howdy…
Aaron Gurst:
He wasn’t supposed to be here tonight, but he sure made his presence felt!
