King of Chaos: Round 1
Miss Daisy Jones vs Duke Jupiter
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following is a KING OF CHAOS MATCH that is scheduled for ONE FALL!
"I'm Too Virtuous" Akira Yamaoka starts up and Miss Daisy Jones appears at the top of the ramp. She has a notebook in her hand. She stands at the top of the ramp and glances through it for a moment making her way down to the ring, winking at the occasional fan along the way.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, she is…MISS DAISY JONES!!!
Bolt Thomas
Miss Daisy Jones said she was confident against any of the men in this tournament, but…
Aaron Gurst:
I don’t know if I’d really feel that way about Duke!
The arena goes dark and then is filled with bright lights that alternate colors with the driving opening riff of "Check My Brain" by Alice In Chains rips through the house PA. A pool of mirror-like water appears on the tron as Duke Jupiter's head pops out of the water. He opens his eyes and soon after a third one opens on his forehead before the clip loops and starts all over again.
Slowly Duke Jupiter emerges from behind the curtain. He pauses at the top of the ramp way and stands with his hands out to his sides.
Duke suddenly springs to motion, soaking in the reaction of the crowd. He smirks and eyes the crowd lining the ramp way, one side, then the other with a look of intensity as he heads toward the ring. When he reaches the ropes he climbs into the ring slowly and approaches the center. His expression is baked on and unchanging as he throws a fist into the air once again eliciting a strong reaction from the crowd.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And her opponent, he is…DUKE JUPITER!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Some would call him the favorite to win this whole thing…
Aaron Gurst:
And they’d be right!
The referee looks at both wrestlers before calling for the bell. Duke Jupiter immediately steps toward the center of the ring and glares at Miss Daisy Jones. She closes her notebook and takes a few steps toward the referee. She winks and tells him she needs another minute to get ready. Before the referee can even react, Duke Jupiter shakes his head and charges across the ring. He hits Miss Daisy Jones with a chop to the chest, and then a second, and then a third! Miss Daisy Jones desperately tries to create some space between herself and Duke. He responds by shoving her back against the ropes and quickly tying her arms up in them. Miss Daisy Jones tries to squirm her way free, pleading with Duke to let her go. He shakes his head and starts to laugh. She then turns toward the referee and starts to plead with him as well. Before the referee can react, Duke delivers a massive chop to Daisy’s chest that echoes throughout the arena. The fans gasp as the referee forces Duke to back off so Daisy can free herself.
Bolt Thomas:
It’s a good thing the referee decided that he was going to do Miss Daisy Jones a favor there…
Aaron Gurst:
The referee was only doing what was fair, Dolty! Don’t act like he’s biased or anything!
Miss Daisy Jones hurries over to her notebook and glances at the pages once again. Duke comes charging over and knocks the book out of the ring. He then grabs hold of Miss Daisy Jones and shoves her back against the turnbuckle. Duke quickly turns around and heads toward the center of the ring. He charges forward and tries to hit Miss Daisy Jones with a splash in the corner! She ducks out of the way as Duke hits the turnbuckle instead! He stumbles a few steps as Miss Daisy Jones grabs hold of him and delivers a snapmare! Duke crashes to the mat as Miss Daisy Jones bounces off of the ropes and delivers a running dropkick!
Bolt Thomas:
A nice little burst of offense from Miss Daisy Jones, and now it’s time to see if she can keep control of this match!
Aaron Gurst:
I’m sick and tired of all you people writing her off! She’s done nothing but win so far, and this is how she’s treated?! It’s terrible!
Miss Daisy Jones briefly takes a moment to soak in the crowd reaction. She then turns around - and is almost immediately hit with a running forearm smash from Duke Jupiter! Miss Daisy Jones stumbles from the impact as Duke pulls her in and snaps off a side Russian Leg Sweep! He hooks the leg and covers for the…
ONE!
TWO!
TH—NO!
Duke grabs hold of Miss Daisy Jones and drags her up to her feet. He hoists her into the air and lets her hang for a moment before dropping her down to the mat with a brainbuster! Duke hooks the leg once again and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
TH—NO!
Bolt Thomas:
Miss Daisy Jones is showing some serious fight right now, but you have to wonder if she’s gonna be able to keep this up!
Aaron Gurst:
Look, if Duke keeps hitting her with everything he’s got, she’s in trouble! But she’s smart, she’ll find a way out of this!
Duke pauses for a moment before smashing the back of Miss Daisy Jones’s head against the mat. She groggily tries to create space between herself and Duke. He shakes his head and closes the gap between the two of them. Duke hits her with a few forearm shots to wear her down before pulling Miss Daisy Jones toward the center of the ring. He wrestles her into position for an Electric Ladyland! Before he can deliver it, however, Miss Daisy Jones spins out of his grasp and rolls Duke up for the…
ONE!
TWO!
THR—NO!
Duke pops back up to his feet as Miss Daisy Jones delivers a roundhouse kick that knocks him down to his knees! She bounces off of the ropes and tries to line Duke up for a shining wizard! Before she can drive her knee into his face, Duke pops back up and spears Miss Daisy Jones out of her boots! She groggily clutches at her midsection and tries to drag herself back up to her feet. This time, Duke is able to snap off an Electric Ladyland! He hooks the leg and covers for the…
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The winner of this match…DUKE JUPITER!!!
Bolt Thomas:
And Duke is one step closer to the finals!

Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following is a KING OF CHAOS MATCH that is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Bolt Thomas:
We’ve already seen Duke beat Miss Daisy Jones, and now, we’ve got another exciting match on the way!
Aaron Gurst:
Ryan Ashworth has been impressive thus far, but can he beat Francisco Lopez?!
Bolt Thomas
This is a match that Lopez REALLY wants to win! This is a tournament that he really wants to win!
Aaron Gurst
One match at a time!
Light Em Up/Radioactive mashup begins to to play. Stephen and Ryan Ashworth come jogging out of the entrance way. Stephen throws his arms out, waving to the crowd to make some noise and trying ot get the crowd behind them while Ryan raises his arms. They go to the center of the ramp, holding up three fingers and begin counting down “Three...Two...One! Lay-on!” while throwing the arm out and lifting a finger for the countdown.

They each take a turnbuckle, Ryan looking over the crowd and throwing his arms out, while Stephen again, tries to rally the crowd behind them, The two men climb down and exit the ring. Ryan takes off his headband, giving it to a fan at ringside and then removes his jacket, handing it to Stephen, the climbs the stairs and enters the ring.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, he is..RYAN ASHWORTH!!!
Bolt Thomas:
You have to wonder if Stephen’s presence will make a difference here…
Aaron Gurst:
You know, I’m not sure! But I think Francisco Lopez is ready to ignore him if necessary!
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 his opponent, he is…FRANCISCO LOPEZ!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Francisco Lopez knows what it’s like to wrestle in this tournament! He knows what it’s like to come close!
Aaron Gurst:
And honestly, that makes a huge difference!
The referee looks at both men before calling for the bell, the match officially underway. Almost immediately, Francisco Lopez charges across the ring. He hits Ryan with a clothesline that knocks him off of his feet and sends him flipping through the air! Ryan tries to pull himself back up to his feet in a hurry, but Lopez knocks him off balance with a forearm smash! He quickly grabs hold of Ryan and shoots him across the ring, sending Ryan flying through the air with an overhead belly to belly suplex when he comes back on the rebound! Ryan crashes to the mat hard and tries to stumble back up to his feet. Unfortunately for him, Lopez is immediately ready to strike - charging at Ryan and delivering a knee trembler!
Bolt Thomas:
Francisco Lopez isn’t holding anything back in the beginning of this match!
Aaron Gurst:
Well, I mean…why would he? He really does want to avoid taking as much damage as possible for the next round, assuming he wins this one!
While Ryan stumbles around, Lopez once again grabs hold of him. He hoists Ryan onto his shoulders and smirks. Before Lopez can do anything to him, Ryan fires off a few elbow shots to knock Lopez off balance! He frees himself from Lopez’s grasp and stands on the mat behind him. Ryan waits for Lopez to turn around before leaping into the air and hitting him with a dropkick! Lopez crashes to the mat but nonetheless pulls himself back up to his feet. Ryan fires off a few quick chops to wear him down. Lopez stumbles from the impact as Ryan quickly grabs hold of him and shoots Lopez across the ring!

Bolt Thomas:
Ryan Ashworth is showing off some quickness right now, and it’s gotten him right back into this match!
Aaron Gurst:
This is what Lopez didn’t want to happen! If he wins this, he wants to do it while saving as much energy as possible!
Lopez groggily tries to pull himself back up to his feet. Once he’s halfway up, Ryan steps toward him and hits Lopez with a superkick! Lopez tries to fight through the impact to pull him back up to his feet. Ryan shakes his head and fires off a second superkick for good measure! This one knocks Lopez back down to the mat.

I gotta be honest, Dolty…Ryan’s impressing me right now!

King of Chaos: Round 1
Joe Summers vs Avery Wright
Bolt Thomas:
Well, this one could be interesting…
Aaron Gurst:
These two know each other very well, and you’d have to think that makes a difference!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following is a KING OF CHAOS MATCH for ONE FALL!
Blue lights strobe around the arena as the opening riffs of "Elevation" hit the arena sound system. The fans rise to their feet in anticipation. Suddenly, the opening drums of "Nothing Left" pound the sound system as Joe Summers comes running out from the back. He stands at the top of the ramp, looking focused as ever. The fans cheer loudly and show their support as Joe runs back and forth across the top of the ramp, calling for them to get even louder. He then smirks and makes his way down to the ring, slapping hands with the fans in the front row on his way. Joe slides into the ring and pops back up to his feet, soaking in the crowd reaction. He takes a deep breath and leans against the rope as he waits for the match to begin.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, he is…JOE SUMMERS!!!
Bolt Thomas:
A lot of people have had a lot to say about Joe this week…
Aaron Gurst:
Including Avery Wright, so it’ll be interesting to see how this one plays out!
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.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And his opponent, she is…AVERY WRIGHT!!!
Bolt Thomas:
We know that Avery Wright isn’t 100%! We know that she’s not at her best!
Aaron Gurst:
But she won’t let that stop her!
Both wrestlers step toward the center of the ring and shake each other’s hands. They briefly exchange words - Joe asking Avery if she’s okay - with Avery waving him off and stepping back to her corner of the ring. The referee then calls for the bell and the match is officially underway! Almost immediately, Joe steps toward the center of the ring and begins to circle around Avery. He waits for an opening to appear before reaching out to grab hold of her. Avery ducks underneath the grapple attempt and waits for Joe to turn around. When he does, she fires off a chop to the chest, and then a second, and then a third! Joe stumbles back to the ropes as Avery grabs hold of him and shoots Joe across the ring. She waits for him to come back on the rebound before leaping into the air and hitting him with a knee strike!
Bolt Thomas:
Well, she might not be at her best right now, but it’s still a good start for Avery!
Aaron Gurst:
Let’s see if she’s got what it takes to keep it up before we get TOO excited! Because, let’s be honest, Dolty…if she’s hurting, it won’t matter in the very beginning!
Joe stumbles down and falls to his knees. Avery lines herself up with him, but takes a deep breath and braces herself before charging at him. Unfortunately for her, this brief moment is all that Joe needs to shift the momentum - popping up and hitting Avery with a massive clothesline! She crashes hard to the mat as Joe drags her back up to her feet and shoots her across the ring. Avery crashes into the turnbuckle and slumps against it. Seconds later, Joe runs across the ring and leaps into the air - hitting Avery with a big splash! She falls out of the corner and drops to the mat. Avery briefly hesitates on the mat before trying to pull herself back up to her feet. Joe watches cautiously for a moment before running forward and planting Avery on the mat with a bulldog! He hooks the leg and covers for the…
ONE!
TWO!
Avery kicks out!
Bolt Thomas:
Avery has seemed a little tentative thus far, and that’s given Joe the openings that he needs to stay in this match!
Aaron Gurst:
There’s another side to that coin, Dolty!
Bolt Thomas:
What’s that?
Aaron Gurst:
Joe has definitely NOT been as aggressive as he could be to start this one! He’s letting Avery get back to her feet at her own pace instead of pressing!
Sure enough, Joe stands back and watches as Avery stumbles back up to her feet. She glares at him, but nonetheless shakes her head and tries to refocus on the match. The two of them meet in the center of the ring and briefly grapple up with one another. Joe manages to take control as he drives Avery back against the ropes. He hits her with a forearm smash to knock her groggy before shooting Avery across the ring. He waits for Avery to come back on the rebound before trying to lift her into the air. She reverses whatever he’s attempting and sends Joe crashing to the mat with a headscissors takedown! Joe crashes to the mat as Avery pauses for a moment. She braces herself and charges forward to try and surprise Joe with a Starstruck stomp! Her hesitancy costs her, however, as Joe steps out of the way! Avery stomps the mat instead and stumbles, as Joe quickly grabs hold of her from behind. He spins Avery around and drops her down to the mat with a flatliner - hooking the leg and picking up the…
ONE!
TWO!
TH—NO!
Bolt Thomas:
Avery is clearly not 100%...
Aaron Gurst:
And I think if it was anyone else in there with him, Joe’d be aiming to put her away immediately!
Joe pauses for a moment before grabbing hold of Avery and bringing her back up to her feet. He backs her up against the ropes and holds her there for a moment before shooting her across the ring. When she comes back on the rebound, Joe leans over to launch her in the air for a back body drop! Avery stops herself short and catches Joe with a knee strike that knocks him off balance. He straightens himself up as Avery leaps into the air and sends him crashing to the mat with a dropkick! Avery covers for the…
ONE!
TWO!
Joe kicks out!
Avery waits for Joe to start dragging himself back up to his feet. Once he’s up, she rushes at him and delivers a hard kick that sends him staggering! Joe tries to recover as Avery closes the gap between the two of them and leaps into the air. She tries to catch Joe with a hurricanrana, though he blocks the attempt and powers her into the air! He holds her there for a moment before turning and facing a nearby turnbuckle. Joe takes a few steps toward it, but Avery reverses his bucklebomb attempt and instead sends Joe into the turnbuckle! He bounces off of it as Avery grabs hold of him from behind and rolls him up for the…
ONE!
TWO!
Joe kicks out again!
Bolt Thomas:
A bit of momentum from Avery Wright!
Aaron Gurst:
She doesn’t look happy about it, though!
Avery pounds on the mat in frustration and once again tries to take a moment to recover. Joe drags himself back up to his feet as Avery turns toward him and yells out something that the camera can’t pick up on. Joe shakes his head as Avery takes a few steps toward him and yells out once again. Joe tries to shake his head a second time, but Avery steps forward and slaps him as hard as she can!
Bolt Thomas:
For those of you at home who couldn’t hear it…Avery said that she wants Joe to take this seriously!
Aaron Gurst:
She can tell that Joe’s holding back because she’s not 100%, and she is NOT happy about it!
Joe’s eyes narrow slightly as Avery grabs hold of him. She tries to run over toward the ropes to deliver a tornado DDT - but Joe responds by catching her in the air and dumping her out onto the apron! Avery holds on to the ropes and tries to brace herself before leaping onto the ropes and trying to springboard into the ring! Joe turns around and sees it coming - stepping toward Avery and nearly kicking her head off with a superkick! Avery collapses to the mat, but grits her teeth and tries to pull herself back up. Unfortunately for her, Joe strikes almost immediately - bouncing off of the ropes and sending Avery crashing to the mat with a slingblade! He hooks the leg and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
Avery kicks out!
Avery tries to recover and bring herself back up to her feet. Unfortunately for her, Joe doesn’t hesitate for a second - pulling Avery up to her feet and shooting her across the ring. She crashes hard into a turnbuckle and Joe follows it up just seconds later with a clothesline! Avery stumbles out of the corner and nearly collapses to the mat. Joe holds her upright and shakes his head, snapping off The End of Summer! He hooks the leg and covers for the…
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The winner of this match…JOE SUMMERS!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Well, Avery got Joe to take it seriously, and I think he just showed Avery just how injured she actually was!
Joe reaches down and extends a hand for Avery Wright. She looks up at him for a moment before accepting it! Joe helps Avery up to her feet and holds her hand in the air. The two of them briefly exchange words before Avery gingerly makes her way out of the ring and lets Joe enjoy the victory.
King of Chaos: Round 1
Nightmare vs Candice Cane
Bolt Thomas:
And here we go, the final match of the first round.
Aaron Gurst:
I have a feeling this one is going to be brutal. Nightmare is involved.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following is a KING OF CHAOS MATCH 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 beginng 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.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, he is…NIGHTMARE!!!
“Cherry Pie” by Warrent begins to play over the arena. Candice Cane struts out of the entrance way, opening her fur coat and showing off her body to the fans, running her hands up her body while Jillian Lato crouches down and gyrates to a standing postion behind Cane. Spreading her arms out like she is making people move out of her way, Candice saunters down the aisle followed by Jillian. She dramatically removes her coat and lifts a leg up on the apron, then the other and slowly and seductively slides into the ring. Candice gets to her feet, whipping her hair back and arching her back to push her chest out before moving to the corner.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And his opponent, she is… CANDICE CANE!!!
The bell rings and Nightmare wastes no time in rushing across the ring and drops Candi Cane with a heel kick!
He covers.
ONE…
TWO…
KICKOUT!!
Bolt Thomas:
Nightmare tried to end this one early, hoping to make a statement.
Aaron Gurst:
Like I said… brutal!
Nightmare pulls Candice up and hits a snap DDT before he covers again.
ONE…
TWO…
KICKOUT!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Candice Cane is not going down without a fight!
Aaron Gurst:
She is tougher than I thought!
Nightmare pulls Candice up and whips her into the ropes, she bounces off and he attempts a tilt-a-whirl slam, but Candice blocks it and hits him with a headbutt before hitting him with a gory neckbreaker! Candice covers.
ONE..
TWO…
TH-NO!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Candice Cane has turned the tables on Nightmare with a near fall.
Aaron Gurst:
Damn!
Nightmare scrambles to his feet as Candice gets to hers, she runs at him and attempts a lariat but Nightmare ducks under and hits the Miasma! He pulls Candice up to her feet and hits the End of Heartache!
Nightmare covers.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Nightmare has done it! He has advanced to the next round!
Aaron Gurst:
Candice put up a hell of a fight, but she couldn’t get past Nightmare.
Slingshot Red vs Victoria Travis
Nathan Jacobs: “The following contest is the Hell in a Cell match and it is for the CPW Air Raid Championship!”
Bolt Thomas: “This one is as personal as it gets.”
Aaron Gurst: “It's going to be brutal.”
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.
Nathan Jacobs: “Introducing first, the challenger, from Calgary Alberta, Canada, weighing 125 pounds, she is “the Serial Killer” VICTORIA TRAVIS!”
Bolt Thomas: “Victoria Travis has tortured Slingshot Red since she arrived in the CPW. This is just the latest chapter.”
Aaron Gurst: “Every hero needs a villain, and that's what Victoria has set out to be for Slingshot Red.”
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
She pulls off her robe, spinning it and tossing it down to the floor as she stands before the Hell in a Cell. She starts to climb the structure.
Bolt Thomas: “What the hell is she doing?”
No colors any more, I want them to turn black
Aaron Gurst: “Nothing that will end well.”
She stands at the top of the cell and looks over the crowd. “Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch'entrate!” she shouts out and laughs.
Bolt Thomas: “'Abandon every hope, ye who enter here.'”
"Up We Go" by Lights begins to play as the lights dim and the stage begins to fill with smoke. A spotlight suddenly lights up the stage, piercing the smoke and illuminating the caped figure of Harper Brooks, "The Incredible MachSpeed Slingshot Red." She nods along with the music for a moment before she raises her cape and begins to hop in place, a red strobe effect beginning to flicker throughout the arena. She begins to make her way down toward the ring, slapping hands with the fans and even stopping to give a few a hug along the way.
Nathan Jacobs: “And her opponent,hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, and weighing 113 pounds, she is the reigning and defending CPW Air Raid Champion, the Incredible MachSpeed SLINGSHOT RED!”
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red is looking to make Victoria Travis pay tonight and she's ready for war.”
Aaron Gurst: “These two had a brutal match at Hardcore Heaven. I can't imagine this will be any tamer.”
Red stands before the cell and removes her cape and the Air Raid Championship. She starts to climb.
Bolt Thomas: “And Slingshot Red is following Victoria up.”
Arron Gurst: “Okay, I think someone is about to literally die tonight.”
Victoria starts to hammer away at Slingshot Red as she gets to the top, trying ot knock her off. Red manages to hang on and starts to throw punches back at Victoria as she tries to get atop the cell. Victoria nails a hard stomp to Red's fingers, causing her to sway, but she manages to pull herself up. Again, Victoria kneels down to try and throw another punch at Red, but she hits a hard shot to “the Serial Killer” and pulls herself to the top. Victoria nails a hard kick to the rubs, kicking Red repeatedly. Red manages to push Victoria off and get to her feet. The two women start to hammer away at each other. Red throws right after right at Victoria, knocking her back. Victoria connects with a hard punch and an uppercut. She delivers a hard chop to Red's chest, sending her down on the top of the cell. Victoria drops her a knee, grabs Red's hair and starts hammering away. Slingshot Red manages a kick to Victoria's head and gets to her feet, tackling Victoria, the cage rattling, threatening to give way as the Air Raid Champion throws a few punches at her challenger.
Bolt Thomas: “These two women are hammering away at each other.”
Aaron Gurst: “You can feel just how much they do not like each other.”
Victoria delivers a hard clubbing blow to the side of Red's head and gives her a chance to get get some distance between her and Slingshot Red. She tries to shake the cobwebs out. Red is right on the attack and the two women keep fighting as they move to the edge of the cell. Red nails a hard punch, dropping Victoria. The Air Raid Champion kneels down, ready to start hammering away. Victoria blasts Red in the face with the poison mist, sending her back, holding her eyes.
Bolt Thomas: “That damn poison mist!”
Aaron Gurst: “That's not good. That's not good at all.”
Smiling, Victoria gets to her feet. She nails a hard kick to Slingshot Red's head and pulls her up into a belly-to-belly suplex position, but turns away from the cell.
Bolt Thomas: “No. No. Don't do it. For the love of God don't do it.”
Victoria Travis launches Slinghot Red through the air and off the cell with a belly-to-belly suplex. Bolt Thomas and Aaron Gurst move out of the way as Slingshot Red comes crashing down through the table with a sickening impact. Victoria lays on top of the cell, laughing.
Bolt Thomas: “JESUS CHRIST! Slingshot Red has to be broken! GET THE MEDICS OUT HERE!”
Aaron Gurst: “Is she dead?! What the hell?”
Slingshot Red is not moving. Victoria starts to climb down. Trainers and EMTs come running down, referees block Victoria from getting to Red. The EMTs start to load Slingshot Red onto a stretcher that has been brought out. They start to wheel her awa. Avery Wright comes running down to check on Slingshot Red.
Bolt Thomas: “We apologize ladies and gentlemen, but this match is over.”
Aaron Gurst: “That could have ended her career or her life. Is she alive?”
Victoria Travis comes charging up and nails Avery Wright with a forearm, then blasts her with the poison mist.
Bolt Thomas: “Victoria Travis is going right after Slingshot Red! What is wrong with her?! Let it go!”
Aaron Gurst: “Her father always side size doesn't make the monster. It's a mindset.”
She shoves the EMTs and officials away and grabs the stretcher, practically launching it down the ramp, where it tips over. She pulls Slingshot Red off, ripping the neckbrace off and tossing it to the crowd, then throws Red against the cell. She throws Slingshot Red into the cell, and then blasts the referee holding the chain, lock and key in the face with the mist, grabbing the items from him. She looks at the key and then throws it as far as she can into the crowd. Victoria closes and locks the door. She slowly stalks Slingshot Red, who is starting to move, and throws her into the ring. She reaches under the apron and pulls out Avery Wright's bat. Victoria climbs the stairs and looks at the referee. Slingshot Red rolls to the corner, starting to pull herself up. “Start the match” “the Serial Killer” says. The referee, not wanting to risk anything, calls for the bell.
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red is like a wounded animal in a cage with a predator.”
Aaron Gurst: “This is not going to be pretty.”
Victoria Travis charges across the ring and nails Slingshot Red with a hard knee. She pulls her out of the corner and nails a hard right and then another, draping Red against the ropes and pulling the middle rope up and over, holding Red in place so she can exit the ring and pull the apron up. Victoria Travis raises Avery Wright's bat and rolls into the ring, swinging it right into Slingshot Red's midsection. She brings it down on Slingshot Red's shoulder twice and once more into her midsection before she tosses it aside, then pulls her out of the ropes and lets her drop on the mat. Victoria rolls Slingshot Red over and covers.
Bolt Thomas: “Victoria has Slingshot Red right where she wants her, using her as a punching bag with Avery Wright's bat.”
One...
Two.,..
Th...Slingshot Red kicks out.
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red is not out of this fight!”
Arron Gurst: “How did she do that?!”
Victoria sits up, looking a little surprised, but she smiles and nods. She gets to her feet, pulling the Air Raid Championship off the mat, but Slingshot Red starts to fight back, hammering away at Victoria,m forcing her back. Victoria hits a kick to the midsection and attempts a snap suplex, but Slingshot Red counters it into a tornado DDT and rolls to the ropes to pull herself up. She drops Victoria with a slingblade and another and then another, leaning in the corner to try to recover. Slingshot Red goes for a senton, but Victoria rolls out of the way and hits a neckbreaker, locking in an armbar, trying for the Victory Lock, but Slingshot Red manages to get to the ropes and out of the ring.
Bolt Thomas: “I do not know if it is adrenaline, fight or flight, or pure hate, but Slingshot Red is still fighting somehow.”
Aaron Gurst: “She's got to run out of gas eventually.”
Victoria rolls out after her, grabbing her and throwing her into the cage. She charges, but Red manages to duck out of the way and tackles Victoria, shoving her against the cage and hammering away. She steps back and dropkicks her into the cage. Then follows with another dropkick, Sligshot Red staggers away, but gets knocked down with a clothesline. Victoria moves to the other side of the ring and flips the apron. She pulls out a ladder and slides it into the ring. She then pulls out three steel chairs and a bag, tossing them into the ring. She turns her attention back to Slingshot Red, who comes running down the apron and catches “the Serial Killer” with a hurricanrana and launches her into the cage. Victoria's body crumbles in the corner. Slingshot Red climbs the apron again and runs along, jumping off and hitting a dropkick to a downed Victoria. She gets back on the apron and does it again, then rolls into the ring and grabs Avery's bat. Outside, Victoria starts to get back up.
Aaron Gurst: “Oh great. Because this match needed weapons! They're going ot kill each other.”
Bolt Thomas: “Victoria is as sadistic as they come and Avery is a fighter.”
Slingshot Red rolls out of the ring, throwing the bat at Victoria Travis like a tomahawk, but “the Serial Killer” manages to get out of the way as the bat hits the cage. Slingshot Red comes around the corner and right into another blast of the poison mist from Victoria, who quickly slams Slingshot Red's head into the ringside and then rolls her back in. Slingshot Red staggers to her feet, but Victoria rolls in after her and nails her front behind with a clothesline. She pulls her her in and suplexes Slingshot Red onto the ladder. Red springs up in a seated position, holding her lower back and then drops down to the mat. Victoria picks her up and does it again, suplexing Slingshot Red onto the ladder with a sickening impact. “The Serial Killer” rolls her over for a cover.
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red nearly took Victoria's head off with that bat.”
Aaron Gurst: “I told you this would be brutal.”
Bolt Thomas: “Two suplexes onto the ladder. That's got to hurt.”
One...
Two...
T...Slingshot Red kicks out, getting her shoulder up.
Aaron Gurst: “HOW IS SHE DOING THAT?!”
Bolt Thomas: “Sheer willpower.”
Aaron Gurst: “If I was Mud Mouth, I would be very concerned about this version of Slingshot Red coming for my title.”
Bolt Thomas: “If he retains tonight.”
Victoria shrugs and grabs a chair, dropping it on the mat and pulls Slingshot Red up, trying to piledrive her onto the chair. Red manages to block the attempt. Victoria tries again. And again, Red manages to block it and deliver a backbody drop and Victoria hits the ladder. Slingshot Red drops her her knees and grabs the chair, she delivers a weak swing to Victoria, then uses the chair to get to her feet and brings the chair down on Victoria again. She pushes her off the ladder and props it open, shoving Victoria in and slamming it down. Slingshot Red shoots the ropes and goes for the MachSpeed Splash, bouncing off the ladder, holding her ribs and kicking her feet against the mat. Pulling herself over to the ladder and Victoria, Slingshot Red lifts the ladder and pushes Victoria out. She rolls herself over the ladder and goes for the cover.
Bolt Thomas: “That has to do it. She's done it!”
One...
Two...Kick out by Victoria
Bolt Thomas: “Victoria kicks out on the two.”
Aaron Gurst: “Do not count her out just yet. She's tough.”
Slingshot Red rolls off Victoria and then starts to hammer away at “the Serial Killer.” Victoria tries to block, reaching for a chair and just swings it against Slingshot Red to get her off her. Slingshot Red rolls back, Victoria gets to her feet. Slingshot Red charges in, tackling Victoria down and hammering away at her. Victoria manages to roll out of the ring. Slingshot Red steps to the outside and dives, going for a hurricanrana. Victoria manages to catch her and hold on and counters with a running powerbomb against the side of the cage, and then a knee. She leans against the cage for a moment, before pulling Slingshot Red up and dragging her forehead along the side of the cage and throws her down. Slingshot Red uses the cage to pull herself up. Victoria moves it, but Red nails a hard kick and a hard right hand, whipping Victoria into the cage and then charges with a handspring elbow.
Bolt Thomas: “These two women are going at it, no quarter asked and none given.”
Aaron Gurst: “Every time these two face off, it's always a hell of a fight. “
Slingshot Red grabs Victoria, and uses the cage to hit a spingboard bulldog, taking”the Serial Killer” down. She rolls her into the ring and then hits a slingshot elbow onto Victoria. Slingshot Red pulls Victoria up off the mat and shoots her across the ring, catching her with a headscissors takedown and an enzugiri. Throwing caution to the wind, the Air Raid Champion climbs the top and hits a picture perfect missile dropkick. She shoots the ropes, going for the Machspeed Splash, but Victoria gets her knees up. Slingshot Red flops on to the mat, holding her midesction and starts to get to her feet as Victoria tries to get to hers. Seeing her opening, “the Serial Killer” goes for the Swift End, but Slingshot Red manages to counter, shoving her off and trying for an Irish whip. Victoria counters and grabs Slignshot Red with the Iron Claw, steping through to drive her into the mat with an Iron Claw STO, the same move her father used, the Cold Snap. She hooks the legs for the cover.
Bolt Thomas: “THE COLD SNAP!”
Aaron Gurst: “Her father won a lot of matches and titles with that!”
One...
Two...
Thr....SLINGSHOT RED KICKS OUT!
Bolt Thomas: “Listen to this crowd! They cannot believe Slingshot Red kicked out!”
Aaron Gurst: “I can't either!”
Victoria Travis looks rather shocked at that one, thinking she had it. She gets to her feet and walks over over to the bag and holds it up. Turning it over, she dumps out thousands of thumbtacks onto the apron.
Bolt Thomas: “Oh God no.”
Aaron Gurst: “Please don't. Just don't.”
Slowly stalking her opponent, Victoria turns her attention back to Slingshot Red, pulling her up off the mat. She moves closer to the tacks, pulling Slingshot Red into a suplex position, but Slingshot Red somehow manages ot counter into a tornado DDT. Shaking her fists, trying ot get the crowd behind her, she charges Victoria, going for the Crimson Flash. Victoria manages to hang on, pulling Slingshot Red into a powerbomb position and driving her into the thumbtacks. Victoria drops onto the mat as Slingshot Red arches her back, screaming in pain and rolls over, the tacks piercing into her. Victoria smiles as she uses the ropes to pull herself up.
Bolt Thomas: “How much more can Victoria put Slingshot Red through? How much more can Slingshot Red take?!”
Aaron Gurst: “There is no shame in quitting Red?”
Bolt Thomas: “For Slingshot Red, there is.”
Grabbing a chair, Victoria puts it down in the middle of the ring. She walks over to Slingshot Red and pulls her up out of the tacks, moving her to the chair and tries for the Swift End. Slingshot Red pushes her off and uses the chair to jump off and hit a jumping knee strike to Victoria, sending “the Serial Killer” out of the ring. She throws the chair aside and grabs the table, pulling it outside and setting it part way on in the ring and on the ground. Victoria staggers to her feet. Slingshot Red bounces Victoria's head off the table and then dumps her on top of it.
Bolt Thomas: “Every time you think she is down, Slingshot Red has come back.”
Aaron Gurst: “Every part of her body has to be screaming in pain right now.”
Slingshot Red rolls back into the ring and launches herself over the top rope, hitting a beautiful elbow drop that drives both women through the table. Slingshot Red rolls off Victoria, both women laying in the debris on the table.
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red aimed right for Victoria's heart, drving her through a table.”
Aaron Gurst: “You assume she has one.”
Slowly, Slingshot Red uses the cage to try to pull herself up and move the table pieces. She pulls herself up, and then pulls up Victoria, launching her into the cage and charging in to shoot her into the opposite side. “The Serial Killer” counters and sends the Air Raid Champion into the side of the cage. Victoria grabs the steel stairs and charges, launching them at Slingshot Red, who manages to avoid the impact and pushes the stairs away. She catches Victoria with a slingblade and shoots her into the cage. Slingshot Red charges and nails a spear, sending both her and Victoria through the cage.
Bolt Thomas: “Both women have spilled on the outside.”
Aaron Gurst: “What the hell cage?! Do you job!”
The first to her feet is Victoria, who pulls Slingshot Red up and drops her on the barricade, then nails a hard kick to the head, knocking her back into the crowd. Victoria leans against the barricade for a moment, then pulls herself over to go after Slingshot Red, who blasts her with a chair. Victoria slumps against the barricade, allowing Slingshot Red to deliver a second shot and another and another and one more just for good measure, then sets the chair down and climbs onto the barricade, delivering a leg drop that flips Victoria onto the mat covered floor.
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red said she was done apologizing for what she needed to do to win and we are seeing that right here and now.”
Aaron Gurst: “Like Victoria wondered, is Batman ready to finally kill the Joker?”
With the crowd cheering her one, Slingshot Red pulls Victoria over to the barricade and tries to slam her head into it. Victoria blocks it and tries to slam Slingshot Red's head into the barricade Slingshot Red blocks and slams Victoria's head into the barricade. Victoria slams Slingshot Red's head into the barricade. Slingshot Red slams Victoria's head into the barricade. Victoria slams Slingshot Red's head into the barricade. Slingshot Red slams Victoria's head into the barricade and then does it once more for good measure and lets Victoria drop. Both women appear to be bleeding.
Bolt Thomas: “What do these two have left? What more are they going to put each other through?”
Aaron Gurst: “Better question is can they survive it?”
Slingshot Red pulls the protective mat away from the floor and the grabs Victoria and pulls her up, setting up for a tornado DDT. Somehow, Victoria counters and flips Slingshot Red into a Northern Lights Suplex, slamming Slingshot Red onto the exposed concrete. She holds her head, kicking her feet, while Slinghot Red holds her back and flops down.
Bolt Thomas: “There is no give to concrete.”
Aaron Gurst: “I think they've used everything except the kitchen sink.”
Rolling off the remains of the table, Victoria Travis pulls herself to the side of the cage-like structure that is Hell in a Cell and against all better logic, begins climbing the cage once again.
Bolt Thomas: “What the hell is Victoria thinking?”
Aaron Gurst: “Something insane and violent.”
Slowly coming around, Slingshot Red looks around for Victoria and then sees her climbing. She looks on with absolute disbelief and then manages to pull herself to the structure and starts climbing.
Bolt Thomas: “And Slingshot Red is going right after her.”
Aaron Gurst: “WHY? Why would you do that? The first time did not end well. What makes her think the second time will be better?”
Victoria rolls onto the cell and starts to get ot her feet. Slingshot Red pulls herself up, almost flopping and then starts to get up. Victoria delivers a hard right hand. Slingshot red with a right of her own. The two women stand on top of the Hell in a Cell structure and trade fists back and forth, each trying to gain some sort of edge, some sort of momentum.
Bolt Thomas: “Both women, there bodies racked with pain, fighting over the arena here. Neither giving an inch.”
Aaron Gurst: “They are going to kill each other.”
Victoria nails a hard haymaker. Slingshot Red responds with a solid right hook, sending Victoria staggering back. Slingshot Red grabs Victoria and spins her around. For the third time, Victoria goes for the poison mist, nailing Slingshot Red and then hits the Swift End on the top of the Hell in a Cell.
Bolt Thomas: “The poison mist! And the Swift End.”
Aaron Gurst: “Can she even cover her up there?”
The structure gives way as Victoria drops Slingshot Red, the section of roof they are on coming loose and both women fall to the mat.
Bolt Thomas: “The cage just broke from that impact!”
Victoria Travis lands hard, somehow avoiding the chairs and ladders. Slingshot Red drops after her, landing right on top of Victoria, somehow managing to avoid all the clutter in the ring. Both women are sprawled out on the mat, Slingshot Red's legs are on top of Victoria. The referee drops for the count.
One...
Two...
Three!
Nathan Jacobs: “Here is you winner and still CPW Air Raid Champion....THE INCREDIBLE MACHSPEED SLINGSHOT RED!”
Neither woman is moving, they are completely and totally spent. They lay there on the mat as the cell starts to raise and the trainers and EMTs come in.
Bolt Thomas: “That was one of the most brutal matches I ever witnessed. These two went out there trying to destroy each other.”
Aaron Gurst: “I don't even know how they are still breathing. If they walk again after this, I'll be amazed.”
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red pulled out a hard fought, hard earned win here tonight against a dangerous and capable opponent in Victoria Travis.”
King of Chaos: Semifinal
Francisco Lopez vs Duke Jupiter
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following is a KING OF CHAOS MATCH that is scheduled for ONE FALL!
The arena goes dark and then is filled with bright lights that alternate colors with the driving opening riff of "Check My Brain" by Alice In Chains rips through the house PA. A pool of mirror-like water appears on the tron as Duke Jupiter's head pops out of the water. He opens his eyes and soon after a third one opens on his forehead before the clip loops and starts all over again.
Slowly Duke Jupiter emerges from behind the curtain. He pauses at the top of the ramp way and stands with his hands out to his sides.
Duke suddenly springs to motion, soaking in the reaction of the crowd. He smirks and eyes the crowd lining the ramp way, one side, then the other with a look of intensity as he heads toward the ring. When he reaches the ropes he climbs into the ring slowly and approaches the center. His expression is baked on and unchanging as he throws a fist into the air once again eliciting a strong reaction from the crowd.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, weighing in 210 pounds and hailing from Indian Lake, New York, DUKE JUPITER!
Bolt Thomas:
This could be intriguing with these two experienced champions involved in this match.
Aaron Gurst:
This could turn into a good fight.
Bolt Thomas:
There is that.
Aaron Gurst:
And a nasty fight at that.
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 his opponent, weighing in at 225 pounds and hailing from Hartford, Connecticut, FRANCISCO LOPEZ!
Bolt Thomas:
You have to wonder, who does that favor if it devolves into a fight?
Aaron Gurst:
Lopez likes to strike more but Duke likes to fight dirtier.
Bolt Thomas:
So who does it favor?
Aaron Gurst:
It depends on what kind of fight it becomes and who dictates what kind of fight it ends up being.

So far, it almost looks like it’s favoring Lopez moreso than Duke for the moment.
Aaron Gurst:

Bolt Thomas:
Who says he will?
Aaron Gurst:
It’s Duke Jupiter, who says he won’t?

Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following is a KING OF CHAOS MATCH that 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 beginng 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.

Blue lights strobe around the arena as the opening riffs of "Elevation" hit the arena sound system. The fans rise to their feet in anticipation. Suddenly, the opening drums of "Nothing Left" pound the sound system as Joe Summers comes running out from the back. He stands at the top of the ramp, looking focused as ever. The fans cheer loudly and show their support as Joe runs back and forth across the top of the ramp, calling for them to get even louder. He then smirks and makes his way down to the ring, slapping hands with the fans in the front row on his way. Joe slides into the ring and pops back up to his feet, soaking in the crowd reaction. He takes a deep breath and leans against the rope as he waits for the match to begin.

Mud Mouth vs Kelly James vs. Disturbed
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following contest is a triple threat match, set for one fall and it is for the CPW Xtreme Chaos Championship!
The sound of an engine starting can be heard as "Saturday Night" by the Kaiser Chiefs hits the sound system. "The Apex" Kelly James appears at the top of the ramp, waving a checkered flag as she stands and smiles at the crowd. She makes her way down to the ring, slapping hands with the fans as she passes, then climbs into the ring and up into the corner, waving the flag high above her head and waving to the crowd. She then hops down, setting the flag down in the corner and beginning to stretch as she awaits the start of the match.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, challenger number one, weighing in at 117 pounds dn hailing from Detroit, Michigan… “The Apex” KELLY JAMES!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Here we go with the big one.
Aaron Gurst:
Somebody’s leaving disappointed tonight and we all know, if it is one thing Disturbed does not like… it is being… disappointed.
Bolt Thomas:
He has his opportunity. He cashed in on the one last pay-per-view and now he gets this one.
Aaron Gurst:
We’ll see how this goes either way.
“Lords of War” by Otep hits and Shamaya leads the big man, Disturbed, out onto the stage. They nod to each other and then she takes her leave as he makes his way to the ring.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Challenger number two, weighing in at 350 pounds, he is the CPW Devastation Champion, DISTURBED!!!
Bolt Thomas:
I wonder every time we see him if it’s a red flag that Shamaya does not stay ringside during the match.
Aaron Gurst:
It means Disturbed isn’t stupid enough to have her exposed to the douchebags that could do something to her.
Bolt Thomas:
You say this as if he should be expecting that?
Aaron Gurst:
Given the people who work here…if you can even call them that… he should!
"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.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And their opponent, weighing in at 215 pounds, he hails from Sweet Water, Alabama while currently residing in New Orleans, Louisiana, he is the current, reigning and defending CPW Xtreme Chaos Champion, MUD MOUTH!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Well here we go!
Aaron Gurst:
The Champs are both here… and Kelly too.
Bolt Thomas:
And now the fight begins.
Aaron Gurst:
They better hope this ain’t a fight or Disturbed isn’t gonna take long.
The bell sounds and the crowd is all over this one. Before they can really get going, Kelly and Mud Mouth try to rush Disturbed, charging the big man to try to take him by surprise. Disturbed swats Kelly away as if she’s an annoying gnat with one hand. He grabs Mud Mouth coming in by the throat with one hand and nods, wife-eyes and almost wild. Disturbed snaps off a big chokeslam that rattles the ring with the impact. Disturbed drops down into the cover on the champion.
ONE!
TWO!
KELLY BREAKS IT UP!
Disturbed grabs Kelly and hurls her bodily into the corner. Kelly bounces hard off the turnbuckles and Disturbed catches her by the throat as he rebounds out of the corner. The big man chokeslams her right back into the corner, bouncing her off the turnbuckles again. Kelly slumps down into the seated position against the ropes and Disturbed puts his big boot against her throat, choking her down viciously. As Kelly flails underneath his foot, Disturbed presses harder, seemingly trying to wring the life right out of her. Mud Mouth comes up behind him and dropkicks him in the lower back. Disturbed falls against Kelly, nearly crushing her against the turnbuckles and Mud Mouth rolls him up from behind.
ONE!
TWO!
DISTURBED ANGRILY KICKS OUT!
The big man gets to his feet and swings wildly at Mud Mouth. The Xtreme Chaos Champion ducks the strike and jumps up into a lung blower. Disturbed shrugs him off and drops an elbow that lands dangerously close to being low. Disturbed hooks the leg and covers.
ONE!
TWO!
KELLY BREAKS IT UP!
Bolt Thomas:
That was close!
Aaron Gurst:
Not close enough.
Bolt Thomas:
If it weren’t for Kelly…
Aaron Gurst:
Disturbed would be towering over them with two championships in his hands and the rest of CPW would be shitting its pants at the thought of what it would take to get them away from him!
Disturbed looks to smash Kelly again but misses as she rolls away. Disturbed tries to stomp her but she continues to roll out of the way just ahead of the impact. Disturbed tries to stomp her one, two, three more times, Kelly continually moving before he can do it to her. As he starts to go for a fourth, Mud Mouth comes up behind him and nails him low.

King of Chaos: Finals
Duke Jupiter vs Joe Summers
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following is the Finals of the KING OF CHAOS Tournament and it is scheduled for ONE FALL!
The arena goes dark and then is filled with bright lights that alternate colors with the driving opening riff of "Check My Brain" by Alice In Chains rips through the house PA. A pool of mirror-like water appears on the tron as Duke Jupiter's head pops out of the water. He opens his eyes and soon after a third one opens on his forehead before the clip loops and starts all over again.
Slowly Duke Jupiter emerges from behind the curtain. He pauses at the top of the ramp way and stands with his hands out to his sides.
Duke suddenly springs to motion, soaking in the reaction of the crowd. He smirks and eyes the crowd lining the ramp way, one side, then the other with a look of intensity as he heads toward the ring. When he reaches the ropes he climbs into the ring slowly and approaches the center. His expression is baked on and unchanging as he throws a fist into the air once again eliciting a strong reaction from the crowd.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, weighing in at 210 pounds and hailing from Indian Lake, New York, this is Duke Jupiter!
Bolt Thomas:
This man set up the brackets and now he might have even called his shot!
Aaron Gurst:
The Acid King lives.
Bolt Thomas:
And now all that stands between him and his crown… is Joe Summers.
Aaron Gurst:
We’ll see how this goes.
Blue lights strobe around the arena as the opening riffs of "Elevation" hit the arena sound system. The fans rise to their feet in anticipation. Suddenly, the opening drums of "Nothing Left" pound the sound system as Joe Summers comes running out from the back. He stands at the top of the ramp, looking focused as ever. The fans cheer loudly and show their support as Joe runs back and forth across the top of the ramp, calling for them to get even louder. He then smirks and makes his way down to the ring, slapping hands with the fans in the front row on his way. Joe slides into the ring and pops back up to his feet, soaking in the crowd reaction. He takes a deep breath and leans against the rope as he waits for the match to begin.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And his opponent, weighing in at 222 pounds, hailing originally from Philadelphia and currently residing in Denver, Colorado, this is Joe Summers!
Bolt Thomas:
So… here we go…
Aaron Gurst:
Now we see how close Duke gets to what he wants.
Bolt Thomas:
What if this IS what he wants?
Aaron Gurst:
Then he’s gonna be the happiest man ever.
The bell sounds and the crowd murmurs as a buzz runs through them at the sight of Joe Summers and Duke Jupiter standing across the ring from each other. The two competitors stare lasers through each other, neither one moving much at all as if the slightest twitch could give the other man an advantage that will lead to a downfall. The two nod slowly and then start walking so that eventually they're circling each other. They slowly make the circling motions lead them to the middle of the ring. They stop walking and look at each other as the crowd buzzes even more in anticipation. Duke nails Joe with a stiff right. Joe recoils and then furies back with one of his own. Duke recoils and the fight is on! They start trading, Duke, Joe, Duke, Joe, Duke, Joe, Duke, Joe, Duke, Joe, Duke, Joe, Duke, Joe, Duke, Joe, Duke, Joe, Duke, Joe.

Miss Daisy Jones vs Duke Jupiter
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following is a KING OF CHAOS MATCH that is scheduled for ONE FALL!
"I'm Too Virtuous" Akira Yamaoka starts up and Miss Daisy Jones appears at the top of the ramp. She has a notebook in her hand. She stands at the top of the ramp and glances through it for a moment making her way down to the ring, winking at the occasional fan along the way.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, she is…MISS DAISY JONES!!!
Bolt Thomas
Miss Daisy Jones said she was confident against any of the men in this tournament, but…
Aaron Gurst:
I don’t know if I’d really feel that way about Duke!
The arena goes dark and then is filled with bright lights that alternate colors with the driving opening riff of "Check My Brain" by Alice In Chains rips through the house PA. A pool of mirror-like water appears on the tron as Duke Jupiter's head pops out of the water. He opens his eyes and soon after a third one opens on his forehead before the clip loops and starts all over again.
Slowly Duke Jupiter emerges from behind the curtain. He pauses at the top of the ramp way and stands with his hands out to his sides.
Duke suddenly springs to motion, soaking in the reaction of the crowd. He smirks and eyes the crowd lining the ramp way, one side, then the other with a look of intensity as he heads toward the ring. When he reaches the ropes he climbs into the ring slowly and approaches the center. His expression is baked on and unchanging as he throws a fist into the air once again eliciting a strong reaction from the crowd.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And her opponent, he is…DUKE JUPITER!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Some would call him the favorite to win this whole thing…
Aaron Gurst:
And they’d be right!
The referee looks at both wrestlers before calling for the bell. Duke Jupiter immediately steps toward the center of the ring and glares at Miss Daisy Jones. She closes her notebook and takes a few steps toward the referee. She winks and tells him she needs another minute to get ready. Before the referee can even react, Duke Jupiter shakes his head and charges across the ring. He hits Miss Daisy Jones with a chop to the chest, and then a second, and then a third! Miss Daisy Jones desperately tries to create some space between herself and Duke. He responds by shoving her back against the ropes and quickly tying her arms up in them. Miss Daisy Jones tries to squirm her way free, pleading with Duke to let her go. He shakes his head and starts to laugh. She then turns toward the referee and starts to plead with him as well. Before the referee can react, Duke delivers a massive chop to Daisy’s chest that echoes throughout the arena. The fans gasp as the referee forces Duke to back off so Daisy can free herself.
Bolt Thomas:
It’s a good thing the referee decided that he was going to do Miss Daisy Jones a favor there…
Aaron Gurst:
The referee was only doing what was fair, Dolty! Don’t act like he’s biased or anything!
Miss Daisy Jones hurries over to her notebook and glances at the pages once again. Duke comes charging over and knocks the book out of the ring. He then grabs hold of Miss Daisy Jones and shoves her back against the turnbuckle. Duke quickly turns around and heads toward the center of the ring.

Bolt Thomas:
A nice little burst of offense from Miss Daisy Jones, and now it’s time to see if she can keep control of this match!

Aaron Gurst:
Look, if Duke keeps hitting her with everything he’s got, she’s in trouble! But she’s smart, she’ll find a way out of this!
Duke pauses for a moment before smashing the back of Miss Daisy Jones’s head against the mat. She groggily tries to create space between herself and Duke. He shakes his head and closes the gap between the two of them. Duke hits her with a few forearm shots to wear her down before pulling Miss Daisy Jones toward the center of the ring.

Aaron Gurst:
You know, I’m not sure! But I think Francisco Lopez is ready to ignore him if necessary!
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.

Aaron Gurst:
Well, I mean…why would he? He really does want to avoid taking as much damage as possible for the next round, assuming he wins this one!

King of Chaos: Round 1
Joe Summers vs Avery Wright
Bolt Thomas:
Well, this one could be interesting…
Aaron Gurst:
These two know each other very well, and you’d have to think that makes a difference!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following is a KING OF CHAOS MATCH for ONE FALL!
Blue lights strobe around the arena as the opening riffs of "Elevation" hit the arena sound system. The fans rise to their feet in anticipation. Suddenly, the opening drums of "Nothing Left" pound the sound system as Joe Summers comes running out from the back. He stands at the top of the ramp, looking focused as ever. The fans cheer loudly and show their support as Joe runs back and forth across the top of the ramp, calling for them to get even louder. He then smirks and makes his way down to the ring, slapping hands with the fans in the front row on his way. Joe slides into the ring and pops back up to his feet, soaking in the crowd reaction. He takes a deep breath and leans against the rope as he waits for the match to begin.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, he is…JOE SUMMERS!!!
Bolt Thomas:
A lot of people have had a lot to say about Joe this week…
Aaron Gurst:
Including Avery Wright, so it’ll be interesting to see how this one plays out!
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.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And his opponent, she is…AVERY WRIGHT!!!
Bolt Thomas:
We know that Avery Wright isn’t 100%! We know that she’s not at her best!
Aaron Gurst:
But she won’t let that stop her!
Both wrestlers step toward the center of the ring and shake each other’s hands. They briefly exchange words - Joe asking Avery if she’s okay - with Avery waving him off and stepping back to her corner of the ring. The referee then calls for the bell and the match is officially underway! Almost immediately, Joe steps toward the center of the ring and begins to circle around Avery. He waits for an opening to appear before reaching out to grab hold of her. Avery ducks underneath the grapple attempt and waits for Joe to turn around. When he does, she fires off a chop to the chest, and then a second, and then a third! Joe stumbles back to the ropes as Avery grabs hold of him and shoots Joe across the ring. She waits for him to come back on the rebound before leaping into the air and hitting him with a knee strike!
Bolt Thomas:
Well, she might not be at her best right now, but it’s still a good start for Avery!
Aaron Gurst:
Let’s see if she’s got what it takes to keep it up before we get TOO excited! Because, let’s be honest, Dolty…if she’s hurting, it won’t matter in the very beginning!
Joe stumbles down and falls to his knees. Avery lines herself up with him, but takes a deep breath and braces herself before charging at him. Unfortunately for her, this brief moment is all that Joe needs to shift the momentum - popping up and hitting Avery with a massive clothesline! She crashes hard to the mat as Joe drags her back up to her feet and shoots her across the ring. Avery crashes into the turnbuckle and slumps against it. Seconds later, Joe runs across the ring and leaps into the air - hitting Avery with a big splash! She falls out of the corner and drops to the mat. Avery briefly hesitates on the mat before trying to pull herself back up to her feet. Joe watches cautiously for a moment before running forward and planting Avery on the mat with a bulldog! He hooks the leg and covers for the…
ONE!
TWO!
Avery kicks out!
Bolt Thomas:
Avery has seemed a little tentative thus far, and that’s given Joe the openings that he needs to stay in this match!
Aaron Gurst:
There’s another side to that coin, Dolty!
Bolt Thomas:
What’s that?
Aaron Gurst:
Joe has definitely NOT been as aggressive as he could be to start this one! He’s letting Avery get back to her feet at her own pace instead of pressing!
Sure enough, Joe stands back and watches as Avery stumbles back up to her feet. She glares at him, but nonetheless shakes her head and tries to refocus on the match. The two of them meet in the center of the ring and briefly grapple up with one another. Joe manages to take control as he drives Avery back against the ropes. He hits her with a forearm smash to knock her groggy before shooting Avery across the ring. He waits for Avery to come back on the rebound before trying to lift her into the air. She reverses whatever he’s attempting and sends Joe crashing to the mat with a headscissors takedown! Joe crashes to the mat as Avery pauses for a moment. She braces herself and charges forward to try and surprise Joe with a Starstruck stomp! Her hesitancy costs her, however, as Joe steps out of the way! Avery stomps the mat instead and stumbles, as Joe quickly grabs hold of her from behind. He spins Avery around and drops her down to the mat with a flatliner - hooking the leg and picking up the…
ONE!
TWO!
TH—NO!
Bolt Thomas:
Avery is clearly not 100%...
Aaron Gurst:
And I think if it was anyone else in there with him, Joe’d be aiming to put her away immediately!
Joe pauses for a moment before grabbing hold of Avery and bringing her back up to her feet. He backs her up against the ropes and holds her there for a moment before shooting her across the ring. When she comes back on the rebound, Joe leans over to launch her in the air for a back body drop! Avery stops herself short and catches Joe with a knee strike that knocks him off balance. He straightens himself up as Avery leaps into the air and sends him crashing to the mat with a dropkick! Avery covers for the…
ONE!

Joe kicks out!
Avery waits for Joe to start dragging himself back up to his feet. Once he’s up, she rushes at him and delivers a hard kick that sends him staggering! Joe tries to recover as Avery closes the gap between the two of them and leaps into the air. She tries to catch Joe with a hurricanrana, though he blocks the attempt and powers her into the air! He holds her there for a moment before turning and facing a nearby turnbuckle. Joe takes a few steps toward it, but Avery reverses his bucklebomb attempt and instead sends Joe into the turnbuckle! He bounces off of it as Avery grabs hold of him from behind and rolls him up for the…
ONE!
TWO!
Joe kicks out again!
Bolt Thomas:
A bit of momentum from Avery Wright!
Aaron Gurst:
She doesn’t look happy about it, though!
Avery pounds on the mat in frustration and once again tries to take a moment to recover. Joe drags himself back up to his feet as Avery turns toward him and yells out something that the camera can’t pick up on. Joe shakes his head as Avery takes a few steps toward him and yells out once again. Joe tries to shake his head a second time, but Avery steps forward and slaps him as hard as she can!
Bolt Thomas:
For those of you at home who couldn’t hear it…Avery said that she wants Joe to take this seriously!
Aaron Gurst:
She can tell that Joe’s holding back because she’s not 100%, and she is NOT happy about it!
Joe’s eyes narrow slightly as Avery grabs hold of him. She tries to run over toward the ropes to deliver a tornado DDT - but Joe responds by catching her in the air and dumping her out onto the apron! Avery holds on to the ropes and tries to brace herself before leaping onto the ropes and trying to springboard into the ring! Joe turns around and sees it coming - stepping toward Avery and nearly kicking her head off with a superkick! Avery collapses to the mat, but grits her teeth and tries to pull herself back up.

I have a feeling this one is going to be brutal. Nightmare is involved.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following is a KING OF CHAOS MATCH 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 beginng 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.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, he is…NIGHTMARE!!!
“Cherry Pie” by Warrent begins to play over the arena. Candice Cane struts out of the entrance way, opening her fur coat and showing off her body to the fans, running her hands up her body while Jillian Lato crouches down and gyrates to a standing postion behind Cane. Spreading her arms out like she is making people move out of her way, Candice saunters down the aisle followed by Jillian. She dramatically removes her coat and lifts a leg up on the apron, then the other and slowly and seductively slides into the ring. Candice gets to her feet, whipping her hair back and arching her back to push her chest out before moving to the corner.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And his opponent, she is… CANDICE CANE!!!
The bell rings and Nightmare wastes no time in rushing across the ring and drops Candi Cane with a heel kick!
He covers.
ONE…

KICKOUT!!
Bolt Thomas:
Nightmare tried to end this one early, hoping to make a statement.
Aaron Gurst:
Like I said… brutal!
Nightmare pulls Candice up and hits a snap DDT before he covers again.
ONE…
TWO…
KICKOUT!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Candice Cane is not going down without a fight!
Aaron Gurst:
She is tougher than I thought!
Nightmare pulls Candice up and whips her into the ropes, she bounces off and he attempts a tilt-a-whirl slam, but Candice blocks it and hits him with a headbutt before hitting him with a gory neckbreaker! Candice covers.
ONE..
TWO…
TH-NO!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Candice Cane has turned the tables on Nightmare with a near fall.
Aaron Gurst:
Damn!
Nightmare scrambles to his feet as Candice gets to hers, she runs at him and attempts a lariat but Nightmare ducks under and hits the Miasma! He pulls Candice up to her feet and hits the End of Heartache!
Nightmare covers.
ONE…
TWO…

Bolt Thomas:
Nightmare has done it! He has advanced to the next round!
Aaron Gurst:
Candice put up a hell of a fight, but she couldn’t get past Nightmare.
Slingshot Red vs Victoria Travis
Nathan Jacobs: “The following contest is the Hell in a Cell match and it is for the CPW Air Raid Championship!”
Bolt Thomas: “This one is as personal as it gets.”
Aaron Gurst: “It's going to be brutal.”
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.
Nathan Jacobs: “Introducing first, the challenger, from Calgary Alberta, Canada, weighing 125 pounds, she is “the Serial Killer” VICTORIA TRAVIS!”
Bolt Thomas: “Victoria Travis has tortured Slingshot Red since she arrived in the CPW. This is just the latest chapter.”
Aaron Gurst: “Every hero needs a villain, and that's what Victoria has set out to be for Slingshot Red.”
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
She pulls off her robe, spinning it and tossing it down to the floor as she stands before the Hell in a Cell. She starts to climb the structure.
Bolt Thomas: “What the hell is she doing?”
No colors any more, I want them to turn black
Aaron Gurst: “Nothing that will end well.”
She stands at the top of the cell and looks over the crowd. “Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch'entrate!” she shouts out and laughs.
Bolt Thomas: “'Abandon every hope, ye who enter here.'”
"Up We Go" by Lights begins to play as the lights dim and the stage begins to fill with smoke. A spotlight suddenly lights up the stage, piercing the smoke and illuminating the caped figure of Harper Brooks, "The Incredible MachSpeed Slingshot Red." She nods along with the music for a moment before she raises her cape and begins to hop in place, a red strobe effect beginning to flicker throughout the arena. She begins to make her way down toward the ring, slapping hands with the fans and even stopping to give a few a hug along the way.
Nathan Jacobs: “And her opponent,hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, and weighing 113 pounds, she is the reigning and defending CPW Air Raid Champion, the Incredible MachSpeed SLINGSHOT RED!”
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red is looking to make Victoria Travis pay tonight and she's ready for war.”
Aaron Gurst: “These two had a brutal match at Hardcore Heaven. I can't imagine this will be any tamer.”
Red stands before the cell and removes her cape and the Air Raid Championship. She starts to climb.
Bolt Thomas: “And Slingshot Red is following Victoria up.”
Arron Gurst: “Okay, I think someone is about to literally die tonight.”
Victoria starts to hammer away at Slingshot Red as she gets to the top, trying ot knock her off. Red manages to hang on and starts to throw punches back at Victoria as she tries to get atop the cell. Victoria nails a hard stomp to Red's fingers, causing her to sway, but she manages to pull herself up. Again, Victoria kneels down to try and throw another punch at Red, but she hits a hard shot to “the Serial Killer” and pulls herself to the top. Victoria nails a hard kick to the rubs, kicking Red repeatedly. Red manages to push Victoria off and get to her feet. The two women start to hammer away at each other. Red throws right after right at Victoria, knocking her back. Victoria connects with a hard punch and an uppercut. She delivers a hard chop to Red's chest, sending her down on the top of the cell. Victoria drops her a knee, grabs Red's hair and starts hammering away. Slingshot Red manages a kick to Victoria's head and gets to her feet, tackling Victoria, the cage rattling, threatening to give way as the Air Raid Champion throws a few punches at her challenger.
Bolt Thomas: “These two women are hammering away at each other.”
Aaron Gurst: “You can feel just how much they do not like each other.”
Victoria delivers a hard clubbing blow to the side of Red's head and gives her a chance to get get some distance between her and Slingshot Red. She tries to shake the cobwebs out. Red is right on the attack and the two women keep fighting as they move to the edge of the cell. Red nails a hard punch, dropping Victoria. The Air Raid Champion kneels down, ready to start hammering away. Victoria blasts Red in the face with the poison mist, sending her back, holding her eyes.
Bolt Thomas: “That damn poison mist!”
Aaron Gurst: “That's not good. That's not good at all.”
Smiling, Victoria gets to her feet. She nails a hard kick to Slingshot Red's head and pulls her up into a belly-to-belly suplex position, but turns away from the cell.
Bolt Thomas: “No. No. Don't do it. For the love of God don't do it.”
Victoria Travis launches Slinghot Red through the air and off the cell with a belly-to-belly suplex. Bolt Thomas and Aaron Gurst move out of the way as Slingshot Red comes crashing down through the table with a sickening impact. Victoria lays on top of the cell, laughing.
Bolt Thomas: “JESUS CHRIST! Slingshot Red has to be broken! GET THE MEDICS OUT HERE!”
Aaron Gurst: “Is she dead?! What the hell?”
Slingshot Red is not moving. Victoria starts to climb down. Trainers and EMTs come running down, referees block Victoria from getting to Red. The EMTs start to load Slingshot Red onto a stretcher that has been brought out. They start to wheel her awa. Avery Wright comes running down to check on Slingshot Red.
Bolt Thomas: “We apologize ladies and gentlemen, but this match is over.”
Aaron Gurst: “That could have ended her career or her life. Is she alive?”
Victoria Travis comes charging up and nails Avery Wright with a forearm, then blasts her with the poison mist.
Bolt Thomas: “Victoria Travis is going right after Slingshot Red! What is wrong with her?! Let it go!”
Aaron Gurst: “Her father always side size doesn't make the monster. It's a mindset.”
She shoves the EMTs and officials away and grabs the stretcher, practically launching it down the ramp, where it tips over. She pulls Slingshot Red off, ripping the neckbrace off and tossing it to the crowd, then throws Red against the cell. She throws Slingshot Red into the cell, and then blasts the referee holding the chain, lock and key in the face with the mist, grabbing the items from him. She looks at the key and then throws it as far as she can into the crowd. Victoria closes and locks the door. She slowly stalks Slingshot Red, who is starting to move, and throws her into the ring. She reaches under the apron and pulls out Avery Wright's bat. Victoria climbs the stairs and looks at the referee. Slingshot Red rolls to the corner, starting to pull herself up. “Start the match” “the Serial Killer” says. The referee, not wanting to risk anything, calls for the bell.
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red is like a wounded animal in a cage with a predator.”
Aaron Gurst: “This is not going to be pretty.”
Victoria Travis charges across the ring and nails Slingshot Red with a hard knee. She pulls her out of the corner and nails a hard right and then another, draping Red against the ropes and pulling the middle rope up and over, holding Red in place so she can exit the ring and pull the apron up. Victoria Travis raises Avery Wright's bat and rolls into the ring, swinging it right into Slingshot Red's midsection. She brings it down on Slingshot Red's shoulder twice and once more into her midsection before she tosses it aside, then pulls her out of the ropes and lets her drop on the mat. Victoria rolls Slingshot Red over and covers.
Bolt Thomas: “Victoria has Slingshot Red right where she wants her, using her as a punching bag with Avery Wright's bat.”
One...
Two.,..
Th...Slingshot Red kicks out.
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red is not out of this fight!”
Arron Gurst: “How did she do that?!”
Victoria sits up, looking a little surprised, but she smiles and nods. She gets to her feet, pulling the Air Raid Championship off the mat, but Slingshot Red starts to fight back, hammering away at Victoria,m forcing her back. Victoria hits a kick to the midsection and attempts a snap suplex, but Slingshot Red counters it into a tornado DDT and rolls to the ropes to pull herself up. She drops Victoria with a slingblade and another and then another, leaning in the corner to try to recover. Slingshot Red goes for a senton, but Victoria rolls out of the way and hits a neckbreaker, locking in an armbar, trying for the Victory Lock, but Slingshot Red manages to get to the ropes and out of the ring.
Bolt Thomas: “I do not know if it is adrenaline, fight or flight, or pure hate, but Slingshot Red is still fighting somehow.”
Aaron Gurst: “She's got to run out of gas eventually.”
Victoria rolls out after her, grabbing her and throwing her into the cage. She charges, but Red manages to duck out of the way and tackles Victoria, shoving her against the cage and hammering away. She steps back and dropkicks her into the cage. Then follows with another dropkick, Sligshot Red staggers away, but gets knocked down with a clothesline. Victoria moves to the other side of the ring and flips the apron. She pulls out a ladder and slides it into the ring. She then pulls out three steel chairs and a bag, tossing them into the ring. She turns her attention back to Slingshot Red, who comes running down the apron and catches “the Serial Killer” with a hurricanrana and launches her into the cage. Victoria's body crumbles in the corner. Slingshot Red climbs the apron again and runs along, jumping off and hitting a dropkick to a downed Victoria. She gets back on the apron and does it again, then rolls into the ring and grabs Avery's bat. Outside, Victoria starts to get back up.
Aaron Gurst: “Oh great. Because this match needed weapons! They're going ot kill each other.”
Bolt Thomas: “Victoria is as sadistic as they come and Avery is a fighter.”
Slingshot Red rolls out of the ring, throwing the bat at Victoria Travis like a tomahawk, but “the Serial Killer” manages to get out of the way as the bat hits the cage. Slingshot Red comes around the corner and right into another blast of the poison mist from Victoria, who quickly slams Slingshot Red's head into the ringside and then rolls her back in. Slingshot Red staggers to her feet, but Victoria rolls in after her and nails her front behind with a clothesline. She pulls her her in and suplexes Slingshot Red onto the ladder. Red springs up in a seated position, holding her lower back and then drops down to the mat. Victoria picks her up and does it again, suplexing Slingshot Red onto the ladder with a sickening impact. “The Serial Killer” rolls her over for a cover.
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red nearly took Victoria's head off with that bat.”
Aaron Gurst: “I told you this would be brutal.”
Bolt Thomas: “Two suplexes onto the ladder. That's got to hurt.”
One...
Two...
T...Slingshot Red kicks out, getting her shoulder up.
Aaron Gurst: “HOW IS SHE DOING THAT?!”
Bolt Thomas: “Sheer willpower.”
Aaron Gurst: “If I was Mud Mouth, I would be very concerned about this version of Slingshot Red coming for my title.”
Bolt Thomas: “If he retains tonight.”
Victoria shrugs and grabs a chair, dropping it on the mat and pulls Slingshot Red up, trying to piledrive her onto the chair. Red manages to block the attempt. Victoria tries again. And again, Red manages to block it and deliver a backbody drop and Victoria hits the ladder. Slingshot Red drops her her knees and grabs the chair, she delivers a weak swing to Victoria, then uses the chair to get to her feet and brings the chair down on Victoria again. She pushes her off the ladder and props it open, shoving Victoria in and slamming it down. Slingshot Red shoots the ropes and goes for the MachSpeed Splash, bouncing off the ladder, holding her ribs and kicking her feet against the mat. Pulling herself over to the ladder and Victoria, Slingshot Red lifts the ladder and pushes Victoria out. She rolls herself over the ladder and goes for the cover.
Bolt Thomas: “That has to do it. She's done it!”
One...
Two...Kick out by Victoria
Bolt Thomas: “Victoria kicks out on the two.”
Aaron Gurst: “Do not count her out just yet. She's tough.”
Slingshot Red rolls off Victoria and then starts to hammer away at “the Serial Killer.” Victoria tries to block, reaching for a chair and just swings it against Slingshot Red to get her off her. Slingshot Red rolls back, Victoria gets to her feet. Slingshot Red charges in, tackling Victoria down and hammering away at her. Victoria manages to roll out of the ring. Slingshot Red steps to the outside and dives, going for a hurricanrana. Victoria manages to catch her and hold on and counters with a running powerbomb against the side of the cage, and then a knee. She leans against the cage for a moment, before pulling Slingshot Red up and dragging her forehead along the side of the cage and throws her down. Slingshot Red uses the cage to pull herself up. Victoria moves it, but Red nails a hard kick and a hard right hand, whipping Victoria into the cage and then charges with a handspring elbow.
Bolt Thomas: “These two women are going at it, no quarter asked and none given.”
Aaron Gurst: “Every time these two face off, it's always a hell of a fight. “
Slingshot Red grabs Victoria, and uses the cage to hit a spingboard bulldog, taking”the Serial Killer” down. She rolls her into the ring and then hits a slingshot elbow onto Victoria. Slingshot Red pulls Victoria up off the mat and shoots her across the ring, catching her with a headscissors takedown and an enzugiri. Throwing caution to the wind, the Air Raid Champion climbs the top and hits a picture perfect missile dropkick. She shoots the ropes, going for the Machspeed Splash, but Victoria gets her knees up. Slingshot Red flops on to the mat, holding her midesction and starts to get to her feet as Victoria tries to get to hers. Seeing her opening, “the Serial Killer” goes for the Swift End, but Slingshot Red manages to counter, shoving her off and trying for an Irish whip. Victoria counters and grabs Slignshot Red with the Iron Claw, steping through to drive her into the mat with an Iron Claw STO, the same move her father used, the Cold Snap. She hooks the legs for the cover.
Bolt Thomas: “THE COLD SNAP!”
Aaron Gurst: “Her father won a lot of matches and titles with that!”
One...
Two...
Thr....SLINGSHOT RED KICKS OUT!
Bolt Thomas: “Listen to this crowd! They cannot believe Slingshot Red kicked out!”
Aaron Gurst: “I can't either!”
Victoria Travis looks rather shocked at that one, thinking she had it. She gets to her feet and walks over over to the bag and holds it up. Turning it over, she dumps out thousands of thumbtacks onto the apron.
Bolt Thomas: “Oh God no.”
Aaron Gurst: “Please don't. Just don't.”
Slowly stalking her opponent, Victoria turns her attention back to Slingshot Red, pulling her up off the mat. She moves closer to the tacks, pulling Slingshot Red into a suplex position, but Slingshot Red somehow manages ot counter into a tornado DDT. Shaking her fists, trying ot get the crowd behind her, she charges Victoria, going for the Crimson Flash. Victoria manages to hang on, pulling Slingshot Red into a powerbomb position and driving her into the thumbtacks. Victoria drops onto the mat as Slingshot Red arches her back, screaming in pain and rolls over, the tacks piercing into her. Victoria smiles as she uses the ropes to pull herself up.
Bolt Thomas: “How much more can Victoria put Slingshot Red through? How much more can Slingshot Red take?!”
Aaron Gurst: “There is no shame in quitting Red?”
Bolt Thomas: “For Slingshot Red, there is.”
Grabbing a chair, Victoria puts it down in the middle of the ring. She walks over to Slingshot Red and pulls her up out of the tacks, moving her to the chair and tries for the Swift End. Slingshot Red pushes her off and uses the chair to jump off and hit a jumping knee strike to Victoria, sending “the Serial Killer” out of the ring. She throws the chair aside and grabs the table, pulling it outside and setting it part way on in the ring and on the ground. Victoria staggers to her feet. Slingshot Red bounces Victoria's head off the table and then dumps her on top of it.
Bolt Thomas: “Every time you think she is down, Slingshot Red has come back.”
Aaron Gurst: “Every part of her body has to be screaming in pain right now.”
Slingshot Red rolls back into the ring and launches herself over the top rope, hitting a beautiful elbow drop that drives both women through the table. Slingshot Red rolls off Victoria, both women laying in the debris on the table.
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red aimed right for Victoria's heart, drving her through a table.”
Aaron Gurst: “You assume she has one.”
Slowly, Slingshot Red uses the cage to try to pull herself up and move the table pieces. She pulls herself up, and then pulls up Victoria, launching her into the cage and charging in to shoot her into the opposite side. “The Serial Killer” counters and sends the Air Raid Champion into the side of the cage. Victoria grabs the steel stairs and charges, launching them at Slingshot Red, who manages to avoid the impact and pushes the stairs away. She catches Victoria with a slingblade and shoots her into the cage. Slingshot Red charges and nails a spear, sending both her and Victoria through the cage.
Bolt Thomas: “Both women have spilled on the outside.”
Aaron Gurst: “What the hell cage?! Do you job!”
The first to her feet is Victoria, who pulls Slingshot Red up and drops her on the barricade, then nails a hard kick to the head, knocking her back into the crowd. Victoria leans against the barricade for a moment, then pulls herself over to go after Slingshot Red, who blasts her with a chair. Victoria slumps against the barricade, allowing Slingshot Red to deliver a second shot and another and another and one more just for good measure, then sets the chair down and climbs onto the barricade, delivering a leg drop that flips Victoria onto the mat covered floor.
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red said she was done apologizing for what she needed to do to win and we are seeing that right here and now.”
Aaron Gurst: “Like Victoria wondered, is Batman ready to finally kill the Joker?”
With the crowd cheering her one, Slingshot Red pulls Victoria over to the barricade and tries to slam her head into it. Victoria blocks it and tries to slam Slingshot Red's head into the barricade Slingshot Red blocks and slams Victoria's head into the barricade. Victoria slams Slingshot Red's head into the barricade. Slingshot Red slams Victoria's head into the barricade. Victoria slams Slingshot Red's head into the barricade. Slingshot Red slams Victoria's head into the barricade and then does it once more for good measure and lets Victoria drop. Both women appear to be bleeding.
Bolt Thomas: “What do these two have left? What more are they going to put each other through?”
Aaron Gurst: “Better question is can they survive it?”
Slingshot Red pulls the protective mat away from the floor and the grabs Victoria and pulls her up, setting up for a tornado DDT. Somehow, Victoria counters and flips Slingshot Red into a Northern Lights Suplex, slamming Slingshot Red onto the exposed concrete. She holds her head, kicking her feet, while Slinghot Red holds her back and flops down.
Bolt Thomas: “There is no give to concrete.”
Aaron Gurst: “I think they've used everything except the kitchen sink.”
Rolling off the remains of the table, Victoria Travis pulls herself to the side of the cage-like structure that is Hell in a Cell and against all better logic, begins climbing the cage once again.
Bolt Thomas: “What the hell is Victoria thinking?”
Aaron Gurst: “Something insane and violent.”
Slowly coming around, Slingshot Red looks around for Victoria and then sees her climbing. She looks on with absolute disbelief and then manages to pull herself to the structure and starts climbing.
Bolt Thomas: “And Slingshot Red is going right after her.”
Aaron Gurst: “WHY? Why would you do that? The first time did not end well. What makes her think the second time will be better?”
Victoria rolls onto the cell and starts to get ot her feet. Slingshot Red pulls herself up, almost flopping and then starts to get up. Victoria delivers a hard right hand. Slingshot red with a right of her own. The two women stand on top of the Hell in a Cell structure and trade fists back and forth, each trying to gain some sort of edge, some sort of momentum.
Bolt Thomas: “Both women, there bodies racked with pain, fighting over the arena here. Neither giving an inch.”
Aaron Gurst: “They are going to kill each other.”
Victoria nails a hard haymaker. Slingshot Red responds with a solid right hook, sending Victoria staggering back. Slingshot Red grabs Victoria and spins her around. For the third time, Victoria goes for the poison mist, nailing Slingshot Red and then hits the Swift End on the top of the Hell in a Cell.
Bolt Thomas: “The poison mist! And the Swift End.”
Aaron Gurst: “Can she even cover her up there?”
The structure gives way as Victoria drops Slingshot Red, the section of roof they are on coming loose and both women fall to the mat.
Bolt Thomas: “The cage just broke from that impact!”
Victoria Travis lands hard, somehow avoiding the chairs and ladders. Slingshot Red drops after her, landing right on top of Victoria, somehow managing to avoid all the clutter in the ring. Both women are sprawled out on the mat, Slingshot Red's legs are on top of Victoria. The referee drops for the count.
One...
Two...
Three!
Nathan Jacobs: “Here is you winner and still CPW Air Raid Champion....THE INCREDIBLE MACHSPEED SLINGSHOT RED!”
Neither woman is moving, they are completely and totally spent. They lay there on the mat as the cell starts to raise and the trainers and EMTs come in.
Bolt Thomas: “That was one of the most brutal matches I ever witnessed. These two went out there trying to destroy each other.”
Aaron Gurst: “I don't even know how they are still breathing. If they walk again after this, I'll be amazed.”
Bolt Thomas: “Slingshot Red pulled out a hard fought, hard earned win here tonight against a dangerous and capable opponent in Victoria Travis.”
King of Chaos: Semifinal
Francisco Lopez vs Duke Jupiter
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following is a KING OF CHAOS MATCH that is scheduled for ONE FALL!
The arena goes dark and then is filled with bright lights that alternate colors with the driving opening riff of "Check My Brain" by Alice In Chains rips through the house PA. A pool of mirror-like water appears on the tron as Duke Jupiter's head pops out of the water. He opens his eyes and soon after a third one opens on his forehead before the clip loops and starts all over again.
Slowly Duke Jupiter emerges from behind the curtain. He pauses at the top of the ramp way and stands with his hands out to his sides.
Duke suddenly springs to motion, soaking in the reaction of the crowd. He smirks and eyes the crowd lining the ramp way, one side, then the other with a look of intensity as he heads toward the ring. When he reaches the ropes he climbs into the ring slowly and approaches the center. His expression is baked on and unchanging as he throws a fist into the air once again eliciting a strong reaction from the crowd.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, weighing in 210 pounds and hailing from Indian Lake, New York, DUKE JUPITER!
Bolt Thomas:
This could be intriguing with these two experienced champions involved in this match.
Aaron Gurst:
This could turn into a good fight.
Bolt Thomas:
There is that.
Aaron Gurst:
And a nasty fight at that.
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 his opponent, weighing in at 225 pounds and hailing from Hartford, Connecticut, FRANCISCO LOPEZ!
Bolt Thomas:
You have to wonder, who does that favor if it devolves into a fight?
Aaron Gurst:
Lopez likes to strike more but Duke likes to fight dirtier.
Bolt Thomas:
So who does it favor?
Aaron Gurst:
It depends on what kind of fight it becomes and who dictates what kind of fight it ends up being.
The bell sounds and Duke and Lopez circle each other, each sizing up the other as they go. They circle around and then step in and lock-up in a traditional collar and elbow tie-up.

He starts to rain punches down and Duke starts to bring it out and Lopez drops into a tornado DDT. Duke hits hard and Lopez covers.

DUKE KICKS OUT!
Bolt Thomas:
So far, it almost looks like it’s favoring Lopez moreso than Duke for the moment.
Aaron Gurst:
It is, at least for the moment but you gotta wonder how long Duke is gonna let it go before he starts fighting a little dirty?
Bolt Thomas:
Who says he will?
Aaron Gurst:
It’s Duke Jupiter, who says he won’t?
Lopez stands and goes to pull Duke up. He looks or Heaven's Denial but Duke kicks him in the knee and then drops to one knee himself. He starts to go low but just hooks Lopez for a cradle instead.

King of Chaos: Semifinal
Nightmare vs Joe Summers/b]
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following is a KING OF CHAOS MATCH that 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 beginng 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.

He then smirks and makes his way down to the ring, slapping hands with the fans in the front row on his way. Joe slides into the ring and pops back up to his feet, soaking in the crowd reaction. He takes a deep breath and leans against the rope as he waits for the match to begin.

The following contest is a triple threat match, set for one fall and it is for the CPW Xtreme Chaos Championship!
The sound of an engine starting can be heard as "Saturday Night" by the Kaiser Chiefs hits the sound system. "The Apex" Kelly James appears at the top of the ramp, waving a checkered flag as she stands and smiles at the crowd. She makes her way down to the ring, slapping hands with the fans as she passes, then climbs into the ring and up into the corner, waving the flag high above her head and waving to the crowd. She then hops down, setting the flag down in the corner and beginning to stretch as she awaits the start of the match.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, challenger number one, weighing in at 117 pounds dn hailing from Detroit, Michigan… “The Apex” KELLY JAMES!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Here we go with the big one.
Aaron Gurst:
Somebody’s leaving disappointed tonight and we all know, if it is one thing Disturbed does not like… it is being… disappointed.
Bolt Thomas:
He has his opportunity. He cashed in on the one last pay-per-view and now he gets this one.
Aaron Gurst:
We’ll see how this goes either way.
“Lords of War” by Otep hits and Shamaya leads the big man, Disturbed, out onto the stage. They nod to each other and then she takes her leave as he makes his way to the ring.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:

Bolt Thomas:
I wonder every time we see him if it’s a red flag that Shamaya does not stay ringside during the match.
Aaron Gurst:
It means Disturbed isn’t stupid enough to have her exposed to the douchebags that could do something to her.
Bolt Thomas:
You say this as if he should be expecting that?
Aaron Gurst:
Given the people who work here…if you can even call them that… he should!
"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.

They better hope this ain’t a fight or Disturbed isn’t gonna take long.
The bell sounds and the crowd is all over this one. Before they can really get going, Kelly and Mud Mouth try to rush Disturbed, charging the big man to try to take him by surprise.

King of Chaos: Finals
Duke Jupiter vs Joe Summers
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following is the Finals of the KING OF CHAOS Tournament and it is scheduled for ONE FALL!
The arena goes dark and then is filled with bright lights that alternate colors with the driving opening riff of "Check My Brain" by Alice In Chains rips through the house PA. A pool of mirror-like water appears on the tron as Duke Jupiter's head pops out of the water. He opens his eyes and soon after a third one opens on his forehead before the clip loops and starts all over again.
Slowly Duke Jupiter emerges from behind the curtain. He pauses at the top of the ramp way and stands with his hands out to his sides.
Duke suddenly springs to motion, soaking in the reaction of the crowd. He smirks and eyes the crowd lining the ramp way, one side, then the other with a look of intensity as he heads toward the ring. When he reaches the ropes he climbs into the ring slowly and approaches the center. His expression is baked on and unchanging as he throws a fist into the air once again eliciting a strong reaction from the crowd.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, weighing in at 210 pounds and hailing from Indian Lake, New York, this is Duke Jupiter!

He then smirks and makes his way down to the ring, slapping hands with the fans in the front row on his way. Joe slides into the ring and pops back up to his feet, soaking in the crowd reaction. He takes a deep breath and leans against the rope as he waits for the match to begin.

Bolt Thomas:
So… here we go…
Aaron Gurst:
Now we see how close Duke gets to what he wants.
Bolt Thomas:
What if this IS what he wants?
Aaron Gurst:
Then he’s gonna be the happiest man ever.
The bell sounds and the crowd murmurs as a buzz runs through them at the sight of Joe Summers and Duke Jupiter standing across the ring from each other. The two competitors stare lasers through each other, neither one moving much at all as if the slightest twitch could give the other man an advantage that will lead to a downfall. The two nod slowly and then start walking so that eventually they're circling each other. They slowly make the circling motions lead them to the middle of the ring. They stop walking and look at each other as the crowd buzzes even more in anticipation. Duke nails Joe with a stiff right. Joe recoils and then furies back with one of his own.
