Maggie McIntyre, introduced in her debut as the Banshee to a mixed reaction from the crowd given her newcomer status--seemed unprepared for the obviously more experienced Jonna Austin who easily plowed through Perish the Prophet last Dystopia with ease. Jonna held the advantage for much of the match, keeping the rookie on the defensive and sought to end it in a way that would cement her win in the crowd’s memory for the rest of the night with her signature finisher the G2-- however, when she lashed out a boot to Maggie’s midsection, the younger woman caught it to the surprise of everyone! She held Jonna hopping on one foot for a few seconds before using all her strength to shove the blonde backward. Jonna stumbled and caught herself on the ropes, only to be struck by Maggie’s superkick called the Banshee’s Wail. The kick hit its mark and Jonna was stunned long enough for the Banshee to roll her up for the three-count.
WINNER: MAGGIE MCINTYRE
Lilith Evans and Nina Rabbit put on a technical clinic at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor for the start of their matchup, much to the delight of the crowd in attendance. For a while, it seemed like Nina had the upper hand, using her lower center of gravity to keep Evans off-balance. Nina managed to knock the older woman off her feet before darting forward to grab one of Lilith’s feet-- twisting her joint sharply. Evans screamed and struggled forward enough to grab a hold of the ropes, making the ref rush forward to make Nina break the hold. She refused at first, but finally relented and shoved Lilith forward. The older woman found her feet quickly and rushed forward at a charging Nina Rabbit before spinning and nailing the blonde with her own signature running discus clothesline!
It was enough momentum to knock the wind out of Nina Rabbit, ensuring that Lilith could cover for the three-count from the referee.
WINNER: LILITH EVANS
As Lilith’s entrance music played over the loudspeakers, she slid out of the ring and ran up the ramp with a fist raised in victory. Valentina ran out from somewhere in the crowd, jumped the barricade, and began a serious assault of Nina Rabbit! She managed to lock in her finisher, trying again to break the loser’s arm. Lilith noticed quickly what was happening in the ring behind her and darted back down to help her opponent escape the onslaught from Valentina. She managed to pull Valentina away from Nina and they traded blows, now outnumbering Valentina 2 on 1. It looked like Valentina was going to get seriously beaten down, but Nina Rabbit was attacked from behind by Belladonna Hunter and knocked out! Lilith turned around to see what happened, Valentina and Belladonna Hunter jumped Lilith with Nina knocked out.
The stomping beat of 'Get Loud For Me' by Gizzle starts, followed by its heavy yet anthemic guitar riff. Havoc spreads his arms out Messiah-like, showing off the demonic paint that makes his throat look like a monstrous maw, Nikki Caldwell crouched next to him as if readying to charge with a Greek sword in her hands.

The scene opens backstage to ”Marvelous” Mike Mason whose clothes are so tight that have to be cutting off his circulation. Holds a pamphlet that covers the different matches and blocks for the tournament. Mason paces back and forth in the dressing room while he studies it. Beside him is Becca “The Beast” Wildeline who sits on a fixed wooden bench taping her wrist and hands for her upcoming match. The Marvelous One begins talking, while The Beast remains silent and focused on preparing for battle.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
This is going to work out great, the last round of matches for Shogun you will be facing “Fatzilla” Obesity Lame. Oh, I can’t wait to see his face when his hopes and dreams of winning this tournament are shattered by my beast.
Wildeline finishes tapping her fist and stands up in the face of Mason, stopping him in his tracks. Wildeline breathes deep and slow, obviously showing the frustration in her face.
THE BEAST | BECCA WIDELINE
I am no one’s, I am ma own. I will put Lane down, by I do it fa me and fa me alone.
Mason takes a step back putting some distance between the two of them. Mason smiles smugly.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
Oh, I know, I know. Just remember the arrangement that we have.
The Beast pulls her gloves on and steps close into Mason once again.
THE BEAST | BECCA WIDELINE
I done forget it, but done ya forget who ya dealing wit.
Mason smiles with his trademark cocky smile.
THE MARVELOUS ONE | MIKE MASON
I’m going to forgive this aggression because I know you are hyped to take care of business. So, let’s not either one of us forget who we are dealing with.
The Beast looks Mason up and down, and then gives a little head nod and turns walking away as the scene fades out.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
The following contest is for ONE POINT TO THEIR COUNTRY!
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Introducing first, she’s representing ENGLAND! Being Accompanied by PAUL SINCLAIR, she hails from LAS VEGAS, NEVADA... SHE IS BELLADONNA HUNTER!
The song Freak of Nature by Sinister starts to blast over the PA system. When the lead singer starts to sing, the lady who is known as "Lady Huntress" Belladonna Hunter starts to come out. Right behind her is her manager, Paul Sinclair. They walk on down to the ring ignoring the fans. Belladonna starts trash talking to the fans making Paul smile at her. When they get to the ring, Paul opens the ring ropes for her, and she thanks him. The duo is in the ring and as she is seen evily smiling, Paul talks to her about her match and she lets him know that she wants to hurt her opponent badly with her evil smile still present on her face.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Her opponent, she's representing VIETNAM! She hails from LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA! She is...DAKOTA RABBIT!!
“OH”
“OH”
“OH”
“OH, HERE WE GO”
“WALKING TALKING LIKE YOU KNOW”
“I WANT YOUR”
“PRETTY LITTLE PSYCHO”
With those words, the seemingly loopy version of “Pretty Little Psycho” by Porcelain Black blares into the arena. Dakota Rabbit practically bounces out from the black curtains with enough momentum that her sister, Nina Rabbit, quickly had to come out and grab Rabbit before she could accidentally fly off the stage. She hugs her sister in gratitude before the pair begin to go down the rampway. Once at ringside the two walk around to the side facing the hard cam and get on the apron before bending over the middle rope with their backsides facing the camera. The pair look over their shoulder and shoot the camera a playful wink, wiggling her bottoms while doing so, before entering the ring and bending over the top rope to blow the camera a kiss.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
This match is something that should be a good contest. Both of these ladies are looking to get that W in the column for the Shogun tournament.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
We shall see – but both of these ladies have been silent since this match was announced. Let’s hope that they can keep their focus on this match.
The ref looks at both ladies and finally, he signals for the bell.
DING! DING! DING!
Belladonna Hunter and Rabbit look at each other as they move forward and circle each other. They then lock up as Dakota takes the advantage. She brings Belladonna Hunter towards the corner and keeps her locked in there. Rabbit moves back as she is then hit with a hard elbow to her face. She grabs Rabbit and throws her over the ropes and hits the outside. Hunter gets out of the ring and grabs her by the head and brings her towards the table and hits her head against it.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
HEY, GET OUT OF HERE! GET BACK IN THE RING.
Hunter slams her hands on the table. She looks down at Rabbit and grabs her hair and brings her into the ring. She gets in and grabs her by the hair and starts to hit a series of punches to her face. She isn’t happy with what Chris has said and releasing all the anger. Just then we see Chris Matthews coming from the back wearing a nice suit. She looks up at the ramp as he starts to walk down.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
What is he doing out here? He has no business here.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Technically, he does. He had in it for Hunter for all the things that she said about Pandora. So, you can be sure that he wants to make her pay.
Hunter continues to look at him as Rabbit stands up and rolls her up.
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-!
But Hunter kicks out and stands up. She then rushes forward and nails her with a huge boot to her face. Rabbit is now down. Chris stands there and claps his hands.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Is this some kind of mind game on Chris’s part? If so, he’s getting in her head.
Chris continues to look at her as Dakota stands up and hits a reverse DDT and Hunter is down. She looks on and gets out of the ring and climbs the top and jumps off and hits ECSTASY! Both Rabbit and Hunter are down on the ground and not moving. After a while, Rabbit is getting up and is now on all fours. But that is when Chris rushes in and hits Rabbit with REIGN OF THUNDER! The ref then calls for the bell.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Chris just got Hunter disqualified. Why?
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Because he wants to send a message to her. What better way to do that than making her lose her match? Chris has screw Hunter out of this win.
WINNER: DAKOTA RABBIT VIA DISQUALIFICATION
Chris gets a smile on his face as he gets out of the ring. He begins to walk up the ramp and that is when Hunter hears the announcement.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Here is your winner, by DISQUALIFICATION – DAKOTA RABBIT!
Hunter is pissed as she starts to freak out. She gets out of the ring as she goes on a rampage. She starts breaking equipment outside of the ring. Everything from chairs, mics, the laptop of Jacob and Caleb. That is when we see Paige Matthews coming out and the fans start to cheer. She’s wearing a black leather jacket, black leggings, white top, and black heels.
PAIGE MATTHEWS
Hello Hunter, it seems you have some anger issues. You’re destroying some very expensive equipment. So, with that being said, I think we have the perfect place for your little anger issues. Boys, please come out here and take her away.
We see a bunch of Orderlies running down the ring. She runs away but one of them tackles her to the floor.
PAIGE MATTHEWS
Hunter, welcome to the SANATORIUM. There, we’ll treat you well.
One of the orderlies puts her in a straitjacket and helps her up the ramp as the fans start to cheer. They take her back as Paige follows. The camera is following backstage and they put her in the back of an Asylum van. Paige then enters her car as the van drives off and she follows.
Meanwhile, a large black Dodge Ram truck comes down the lane far too fast before it comes roaring around a pillar, staff jumping to get out of the way before it comes to a squealing halt in one of the open parking spaces...but not before narrowly missing one of the Dystopia roster--revealed to be Maggie McIntyre as she throws back her hood and begins to yell at the driver.
THE BANSHEE | MAGGIE MCINTYRE
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! You almost hit me, you stupid asshole!
The engine is shut off and the door opens, the camera zooming in on one of Dystopia’s newest stars, Josh Kaine. The representative of Germany in the Shogun tournament jumps down from the truck and slams the door behind him. He snarls back at her, matching her deadly serious glare.
JOSH KAINE
Git the hell out the way next time! Ain’t my fault you ain’t tall enough to see over the hood!
THE BANSHEE | MAGGIE MCINTYRE
Why don’t you slow down in the damn parking garage?! It’s a parking garage, not a frickin’ moonshine run, you redneck asshole!
Josh Kaine rolls his eyes and stomps past her after grabbing his ring gear bag from the bed of the truck, clearly running a little late.
JOSH KAINE
Whatever, just fuckin’ move. I’m runnin’ late.
He pushes past her, shoving her aside with his elbow. Maggie is forced back a few steps but regains her footing. She looks around quickly, snatching a Yeti Rambler tumbler from the hands of one of the nearby roadies and launches it at the retreating Josh Kaine’s head. Her projectile hits its mark, thunking off of the back of his head--clearly empty as it then clatters to the floor.
THE BANSHEE | MAGGIE MCINTYRE
Don’t be a fuckin’ asshole or next time it won’t be empty!
The roadie runs over to collect their snatched Yeti Rambler and stands next to Josh, unsure of what to say. They look to each other before the son of Jada Kaine looks to the Yeti tumbler and speaks again.
JOSH KAINE
Those things really are indestructible, huh?
They watch the Banshee retreat through the staff entrance before we cut back to ringside.
We return to find Becca Wideline already in the ring.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
The following match is for one fall, and is part of the Shogun Tournament!
The arena darkens as the "F8" by Five Finger Death Punch plays. The peak of the song is reached and the arena begins to flash almost as though an electrical surge flows through the arena. "F8" bleeds into "Rise Cover" by State of MINE and a blue spot light shines on the stage as it is covered with smoke/mist. A moment passes and into the spotlight stands Zolton facing away from the ring. His head lowered, hair silhouetting his face. The chorus flows from "Rise Cover" and he turns and walks down the ramp way. Ignoring the crowd up against the entrance ramp. Mist covers the ring now as he climbs the steps and enters the ring as it fills with blue lighting. He leans in his assigned corner after removing his long leather trench coat. The music fades out as the arena lights rise into normalcy.
The referee signals for the bell [DING! DING! DING!] and as it sounds, both Becca and Zolton step forward and the crowd let’s out a loud aww as the 5’10 frame of Becca comes short of the 6’7 Zolton.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Look at this staredown...well stare up for Becca.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Becca’s not budging though. She’s standing her ground.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Remember, Zolton’s the #1 Contender to Havoc’s championship so could this be a tune-up match for him?
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Don’t let Becca hear you say that or she’ll come over here and remove that nose from your face.
Becca looks up at Zolton and he smirks as she steps back but steps forward again, this time she throws a quick jab to the ribs and Zolton reacts as if the air was punched out of his lungs. The crowd boos and as Zolton is bent over, she delivers quick jabs to the top of his head.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
What is this? A boxing match?
Becca backs Zolton up towards the ropes as he covers his head until Becca tries for an uppercut. Zolton catches her hand and begins a barrage of flying fists of his own. The crowd gets behind him with cheers and applause.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
I guess Zolton is saying if you can dish it, so can I.
The long arms of Zolton lands a strike that staggers Becca backwards and using his height, Zolton steps on the bottom rope and lunges at Becca with a superman punch of sorts that catches her on the jaw. Becca is turned around but wildly swings backwards and connects with a spinning backhand that catches Zolton on the side of the head. The crowd quickly boos as Zolton holds his head to shake sense back into him.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Are those regulation gloves? Why does she need them anyway?
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Have you felt her punches? She needs them so she doesn’t break her hands or break anyone’s bones.
Becca grabs Zolton for a bear hug but Zolton turns around so they are Belly-to-Back and Becca lifts up Zolton and the crowd gasps.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Becca has Zolton off his feet!
Zolton wails back with an elbow and catches Becca on the jaw but she doesn’t budge and keeps on the hold. Becca then runs towards the corner but Zolton puts out his foot and suddenly stops on the turnbuckle. Their heads collide as Becca falls backwards and Zolton falls on top of her but rolls off.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Did you hear that? I don’t know what Zolton was going for but I thought Becca was trying to put Zolton on the top rope.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Whatever happened, they’re both down.
[:15 replay] Zolton’s foot hits the turnbuckle, the back of his head connects with the face of Becca
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Thank you for that replay and there you have it, they collided and they’re still on the mat. The referee is checking on them.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Zolton has a hard head though because he’s in this match when he’s already the Number One Contender for Havoc. He shouldn’t be in this match to begin with.
Becca begins to stir as does Zolton and Zolton, closest to the rope, pulls himself up to his feet. Becca rolls onto her stomach and slowly gets to her feet. Zolton walks over and casually pushes Becca with his foot as to nudge her and Becca pounds her fist on the mat.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
What is Zolton doing?
Becca gets to her feet and turns around to Zolton and gets into his face. The referee tries getting between them and the crowd responds with loud boos. Becca swats the referee away and he stumbles but as he turns, Becca kicks Zolton low!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Becca with a low blow! You can’t tell me you didn’t see that?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
But the referee didn’t see it.
The crowd is arguing with the referee but he explains he didn’t see it although Zolton is writhing from the pain. Becca, with a smile on her face, grabs Zolton by the hair and delivers an elbow to the back of his head that takes him down to his knee. Becca hits the rope and goes for a hip attack but Zolton stands up tall and delivers a big boot that drops Becca.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
There you go. Give her a receipt.
The crowd cheers as Zolton limps over to Becca to pick her up but she thumbs him in the eye. The crowd boos as Becca gets to her feet. With a blinded Zolton, Becca stomps the back of Zolton’s knee and he drops to a knee on the mat. Behind him, Becca sinches in The Miami Vice rear naked choke. The referee is in there to check the hold and Becca moves her arm or Zolton moved, but she is choking him. With the crowd now wildly cheering and booing, Becca takes him down to the mat. Zolton isn’t moving and the referee is checking again as it’s clear that Becca is choking him. The referee tries to remove Becca’s arm from Zolton’s throat but she wrenches the hold in deeper.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Come on! She’s choking him! She’s not trying to win, she’s wanting to injure him.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Break the hold already!
With the crowd’s loud ovation of boos and the referee not able to break the hold, he quickly calls for the bell.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Thank you! Get Becca off of him and get Zolton out of there.
Becca doesn’t let go of the hold until more referees rush the ring and plead with Becca to let go. Some try physically removing her arms as Zolton is lifeless as she finally let’s go of the chokehold.
The bell rings [DING! DING! DING!] and the crowd is booing more as before. Referees begin escorting Becca out of the ring as others are aiding Zolton. Over the speaker, the voice of Sona is heard.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
The winner of the match as a result of a disqualification...ZOLTON!!
WINNER: ZOLTON
The Widline vs Zolton match had just come and we now find a secluded part of the water park where we find Sah'ta Thor pacing with his 2016 WWH International Championship over his right shoulders. As he paces he his hand keeps rubbing at the surface of the belt.
SIN INCARNATE | SAH'TA THOR
It is that time of year again. The time where we all present ourselves as being the representatives of a given place. Some of the choices are motivated by heritage. Others by random chance or the simplicity that the place sounds cool. Yet, that isn't what I want to talk to you all about tonight.
His hand drops from the belt on his shoulder to let the fans see it in its unobstructed glory.
SIN INCARNATE | SAH'TA THOR
Last Dystopia, I gave you all a history lesson on the Utopia Championship. The belt that has been so conveniently renamed as the International Championship. A change that has been fully endorsed by the management. However, we all know that is a lie. Sure Matsuda beat Cedrone in last show's main event but that fact doesn't suddenly add legacy to the belt she won. Don't get me wrong when I say that I am sure Matsuda will be a great Utopia Champion. However, as I have been so careful to point out, the Utopia Championship is as worthy of being called the International Championship as John Blade is of being called a WWH Superstar.
Sah'ta Thor's hand comes back up to caress the polished metal on his shoulder.
SIN INCARNATE | SAH'TA THOR
So now that the matter of who the Champion is has been settled between Cedrone and Matsuda my time has come. You see, while I have been rather open about my intentions I feel it is time I spell them out. That way there isn't an ambiguity about my plans. I Sah'ta Thor in sound mind am challenging Stephanie Matsuda for the WWH International Championship in a Title Unification Match. The Real International Championship that I hold vs her renamed Utopia Championship. Winner takes both and walks away as the Undisputed International Champion.
With a sigh Sah'ta Thor pauses and looks straight at the camera and gives a shit eating grin for a moment.
SIN INCARNATE | SAH'TA THOR
Yet, the question is why should WWH management legitimize this challenge? It is simple really, beside the sure money draw of the match up itself, there is the matter of history and prestige. You see, the belt I carry ties back to the pre-Dystopian days of the WWH, an area that would add instant credibility to the new International Championship. I merely off the chance for that credibility to be earned as it should be. Cedrone may have renamed the belt but that didn't bring any of the legacy that should go with the name. I am sure you can see the advantages of what I propose. Though I will eagerly await the response from both Matsuda and Management. Now I have a kaiju to go prepare for in a match that will be talked about for a long time to come.[/font]
With that Sah'ta Thor walks off towards where the ring area was as he had a match later in the night. As he walks off it cuts back to the ring for the Jonae vs Hixx match up.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
The following contest is a SHOGUN contest. The Winner of this match will receive ONE POINT FOR THEIR COUNTRY!
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Introducing first, representing SWITZERLAND, she hails from DENVER, COLORADO! She is LATOYA HIXX!
When her music hit's she comes out on stage and does her pose. She then walks down the ramp and high five her fans and steps foot inside of the ring and walks up towards the ropes in points her one finger and the air when she does her pose again on the ropes and gets down off the apron in waits for Renee to arrive.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And her opponent, representing FRANCE, she hails from MIAMI, FLORDIA! She is, RENEE JONAE!
The lights go out as purple smoke goes down the ramp and Jonae walks down with her right hand slightly raised with her index finger up as if leading the people with her through the dark. There is a faint light around her and “fairy/fay” silhouettes dance within the smoke. She walks up the ring steps and onto the turnbuckle, snapping her fingers to dissipate the darkness and smoke. She stays in place looking at the crowd, then looks to the camera with a wink and smile before descending the corner.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
This match is going to a snooze fest. How are we going to be able to even watch this match?
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
What are you talking about, Jacob? You have two extremely talented superstars in the ring. You have Hixx and Jonae.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
I’m wondering why Hixx is called Hoeski?
The ref then signals for the bell.
DING! DING! DING!
The two look at each other as they prepare for this match. They then locked up and Renee is able to get the advantage. She brings her to the corner as the ref was moving her back. Hixx was yelling at the ref and saying she wasn’t ready. Renee moves back a bit giving her some distance. That is when Hixx runs but Jonae trips her and shrugs her shoulders.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Hixx is such an idiot. She was tripped by Jonae.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Hixx is someone I don’t think learns. How long has she been here? And never really go a title shot.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Duh, because she hasn’t earned it.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Will she finally earn a chance tonight?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Doubtful.
Renee picks her up by the hair and brings her to the ropes. She wrapped Hixx's arm around it and then hits a back hard chop to her chest and you can see the pain on her face from that shot. She brings her out and hits a snapmare that brings her to the ground. She is on her butt as Jonae puts her knee into her back and wrenches back.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
A classic combo of snapmare and chin lock. Can you imagine the pain on the back?
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
It doesn’t feel good, Jacob. But for Hixx, it should be worse.
She wrenched harder but after a while, Hixx was able to get one knee on the mat and hits a back elbow to the gut of Jonae. She does that a few times before she lets go. Hixx runs towards and comes back and hits a crossbody with a pin attempt.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Hixx gets on Renee and she begins to rain down punches but as she is about to continue, she grabs Hixx's head and headbutts her. Hixx holds her head feeling the pain. Jonae stands up and grabs Hixx and throws her shoulder first into the steel post. That put Hixx to the outside and holding on to it.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Looks like that ring post won the battle against that Hoeski, and I don’t feel bad.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Jacob, how dare you talk about Hixx like that. She is – ummm...not a hoeski.
Renee gets out of the ring and heads towards her. She leans down and grabs her by the head and then rams her into the crowd barricade. The fans are cheering as Hixx lays down on the outside mat. Renee holds her arms up and gets a big smile on her face.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
If there is anyone in this tournament that I believe can win it would be Jonae. She has everything that a top tier talent could want.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Aren’t you married?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Yeah, so what? I’m simply stating from a professional standpoint that Renee is the top pick to win this whole thing.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
And I would agree. Hixx, she wants it too – but not as much as Renee. She stated that she wants to win this tournament. But she isn’t the only one.
Renee picks up Hixx and throws her back in the ring. Hixx is on all fours and crawls forwards. Renee stands behind her and picks her up again. She whips her but brings her back and hits a flapjack and Hixx hits hard. Renee stands up and walks to the corner. She turns around and signals for Hixx to stand up. Hixx does and finally gets up to her feet. She turns around slowly and Renee rushes in and hits her with a bone-shattering spear which she likes to call THE RAKURAI! She covers her and hooks the leg.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING! DING! DING!
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
HERE IS YOUR WINNER, RENEE JONAE!
WINNER: RENEE JONAE
"Trollz" hits the P.A system as Renee stands up. She looks around at the crowd as the ref raises her hands in the air. She looks down at Hixx and just walks out leaving Hixx right where she is at. She gets out of the ring and heads up the ramp eventually heading backstage as the scene fades to a commercial.
We are joined backstage in a sectioned off interview area, complete with black drapes and WWH Dystopia logo in the background of the set. Faith Wilde is exuding joy as she is dwarved side by side with a very game looking Demetrius “Godzilla” Lane as he is finishing up taping his wrists just for show.

Godzilla allows himself to smile widely and with confidence as he acknowledges the rather enthusiastic introduction from the bubbly backstage interviewer. But before he can speak, she rapidly and excitedly begins her line of questioning.
GODZILLA | DEMETRIUS LANE
Thank you I-
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
Man, do I have so many questions for you. Mike Mason. Becca Wildeline. Zolton. Eli Copeland even! There’s so much to talk about. But time is limited so if I could just ask you the one. Tonight, you face Sah’ta Thor not only in the first round of the Shogun Tournament, but your very first singles match on Dystopia. With both of your previous wins thus far being in triple threat affairs...How do you plan on taking on one of the biggest legends in the business when he’s got you his completely undivided attention this time around?!
The King of the Monsters chuckles a little bit as he’s taken aback by the sheer level of energy that Faith Wilde brings to her presentation with the superstars. You can tell she is genuinely excited to get these exclusive thoughts of Godzilla. And her enthusiasm is certainly infectious as it builds to the hype of his match coming later in the night.
GODZILLA | DEMETRIUS LANE
First of all, I appreciate your candor. I really do. Make no mistake Sah’ta Thor is a dangerous man. He’s done things to his own body that I could never dream of inflicting on myself to achieve what he’s accomplished. And yet, he’s as spry as ever. His mind is as sharp as ever. You can’t tell a guy he ain't as good as he once was when he’s still wrestling at that level of intensity every single week. But I’m not going into this without a plan. Even if I gotta keep my head on a swivel. Due to the ever present threat of The Marvelous One, Mike Mason and his whole lotta woman compatriot, The Beast. I can’t afford to be distracted. Not tonight, not against The Immortal. We’re gonna find out what happens in earnest when a God meets The King of the Monsters.
Demetrius pauses for a short moment to collect his thoughts. He stares through to the camera with a furrowed brow as his beady little eyes look focused and determined at the people watching from the other end of that screen. He enunciates every pertinent point with plenty of hand gestures along the way.
GODZILLA | DEMETRIUS LANE
Everybody’s been talking. About how I got all the momentum in the world going into this match. Godzilla’s on a roll, and I can’t dispute that. But you brought up the real kicker. This is my first one on one contest. A pinfall victory over the #1 Contender for the World Title is one thing. But beating the best of the best in the middle of the ring one on one? That’s the real goal isn’t it, Faith? If I can come across a win against the “Real” International Champion...that’s what’s going to give me a foothold on this Shogun Tournament. I’m looking to start a tsunami of devastation that isn’t going to subside until I’ve washed away every person in my path on the way to the Shogun Finals. So Sah’ta Thor? I know you’re ready. But we’re gonna find out in short order...if you can withstand the heat of this atomic fire, as it scorches your back my brother.
And with that, Lane leaves the scene as Faith bounces giddily in anticipation for the rest of the show to come.
The rumble of the bass from the opening bass and soon to follow riffs of Ozzy’s “Let it Die” swims through the air as Sah’ta Thor enters our field of view. He takes in the aura of his own creation before hitting the ring with a determined stride.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
First... hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada. He weighs in tonight at two hundred twenty-five pounds. He is the Deeeemon Kiiing... SAH’TA THOR!
Thor paces ever so slightly, his eyes narrowing as the oldschool tones of “Godzilla” by Blue Oyster Cult fills the arena, bringing out a very confident figure of determination.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And his opponent... hailing from Seattle Washington by way of Savannah, Georgia. He weighs in tonight at two hundred ninety pounds. This is Goooooooodzillaaaaaa... DEMETRIUS LANE!
Lane takes a moment to appreciate his introduction before shooting a grin Thor’s way and posturing to the hard-cam, making sure we get that ever so important ego-pandering shot for potential video package use.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
I'm not exactly sure who to root for here, Foster. Except the obvious of course, which is me not getting hurt because either of these lumbering buffoons get too close to me.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Well lets hope they don’t get too close then, Jacob.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELEOh they can get close, Foster. As long as they land on you and keep away from me.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
I appreciate the united stance, Jacob. And speaking of stance, it appears these two already have words for one another as the bell rings. Here we go!
Thor and Lance take a moment to exchange words, clearly reliving previous encounters as voices raise bit by bit. The competitive edge gets the best of the face-off and Thor hits the ropes to hit a shoulder block, staggering Lane but not removing him from his feet. Lane takes his turn but Thor immediately ends the exchange with a roundhouse kick on Lane’s rebound. Godzilla stumbles into the ropes and Thor goes on the attack with Cactus Clothesline and we are on the floor!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
What a damn clothesline that was! Lane is not a small man and Thor took them both over the top rope.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELEBy any means, Foster. A win smeared with blood and chaos is still a win.
It takes a moment to shake the disorientation off, but Thor gets back to the attack, ramming Lane into the ring apron and laying in a flurry of knees, chops and forearm strikes. Our official tries to get order but Thor urges him to back off. The small exchange allows Lane the opening to hit a thunderous chop followed by a pair of European uppercuts that rock Thor against the ring steps.
We’re back in the ring and these two are just trading huge blows back and forth. Lane’s force is slightly edging out Thor and bit by bit, Lane gains the advantage. With one last hope in the exchange, Thor goes for the same roundhouse he nailed earlier but Godzilla ducks it and nails an inhuman German suplex, dropping Thor directly on his neck. The big man recognizes the success of the move and pulls Thor up to his feet, hoping for a repeat performance but he manages to block it and fire off a series of elbows followed by a gorgeous frankensteiner.
ONE!
TWO!
NO!
Lane gets a shoulder up and Thor immediately applies the Tongan death grip, focusing an attack applied by lethal competitors of yesteryear. Lane manages to roll to his knees, fighting through the pain enough to force a break and hit a massive belly to belly suplex! Both men are up, Lane hits another belly to belly! Thor staggers to his feet again out of instinct but blocks a third belly to belly attempt only to eat a Samoan Drop for his troubles. Lance plants Thor in the corner and brings down All Monster Attack on Thor’s chest.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Holy hell, Foster. Hop in there and take one of those! Did you hear that? Goddamn!
Lane whips Thor to the far corner where he hits chest first and stumbles back, allowing Lane to hit the ropes with a fury and go for a big crossbody but Thor manages to duck it and hits a nasty backflip kick that blindsides the recovering Lane. Thor hits the ropes with a quickness but Lane follows him to the ropes and as Thor turns around to the racing Lane, he gets drilled with a running crossbody!
ONE!
TWO!
TH- NO!
Thor manages to kick out of the behemoth crossbody but now has to recover as a reinvigorated Godzilla has risen to his feet and calls for the end. Thor clings to the ropes, regroups and walks right into Destroy All Monst-no! Somehow Thor turns the big spinebuster into a small package!
ONE!
TWO!
THRE- NO! NO!
Lane scrambles out of the pin and gets to his feet only to eat a vicious running knee by Thor who follows it up with a second running knee and wipes Lane out. The Demon King heads up top and perches calmly, waiting for Lane to get up. He measures him perfectly and goes for a beautiful Dragonrana but Lane powerbombs him in the center of the ring. Lane goes to a knee and is absolutely exhausted from the very physical war with Thor.
Lane exhales deeply and looks at the turnbuckle in determination. He climbs up steadily and its time to be Big in Japan! He flips forward to the mat and crashes down across Thor but he got his knees up! Thor scrambles to his feet and ties Lane up into a La Magistral Cradle!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Lane can’t escape the tried and true lucha style pin and Thor has secured a major victory in an absolutely grueling battle. Thor rolls to the ropes in relief as both competitors breathe heavily.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Your winner, he is the Demon King... SAH’TA THOR!
WINNER: SAH'TA THOR
As the scene opens, we come upon a nondescript sector of Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in Concord, California. Then after a bit, we see The Soulless Sisters of Charlotte Ross and Lady Gwendolyn Black talking with their manager/advisor, Monica Mayhem.
MONICA MAYHEM
It's time we need the reign of these heroic women known as The Dynamic Duo and bring the gold back to The Order of The Soulless.
Charlotte and Gwen both nod in agreement. Then Gwen stands up from the chair was sitting in.
THE SOULLESS QUEEN | LADY GWENDOLYN BLACK!
Agreed. It's time we showed the Tag Team Division of the W.W.H., why we are the preeminent and longest lasting team here. And we are going to do it in a match we have made famous here in the W.W.H., the TLC match.
Then Charlotte stands up as well and then she grabs it and then leans on it like a crutch.
THE SLAYER | CHARLOTTE ROSS
Dynamic Duo, listen very fucking carefully. We are going to end your reign tonight with the help of this, some tables, ladders and even this beauty.
Then she places the chair under her arm as she picks her signature weapon, The Soulless Club.
THE SLAYER | CHARLOTTE ROSS
These beauty right here will be an additional object that we will be using to end your reign as W.W.H. World Tag Team Champions and bring the gold back to where it rightfully belongs...
With us in The Order of The Soulless.
Then Charlotte walks a few steps and then places the chair and her Soulless Club onto a table that they have setup.
MONICA MAYHEM
Dynamic Duo, be prepared to not only be losing those the World Tag Team Titles to us but you better call your loved ones and family because we are going to bury your sorry asses in the TLC Match tonight. See you two very soon.
Then Monica blows a kiss to the camera as she begins to walk away. Then Charlotte picks up her Soulless Club and starts to follow her. Then Gwen looks up at the camera one more time.
THE SOULLESS QUEEN | LADY GWENDOLYN BLACK!
Ladies, be prepared for the fight of your life. Cause when it comes to matches like this, we don't play...
WE FIGHT TO KILL
Then she smiles devilishly as she walks away to catch up with Monica Mayhem and Charlotte. Then the scene fades to commercial.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
THE FOLLOWING IS A SHOGUN TOURNAMENT MATTCCHHHHH!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
I love me some Shogun, Foster!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Well, you should, one of these two could very well be standing alone at the end of Shogun. You know why I love Shogun, because EVERYONE WANTS IN!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Yes they do! And here to prove that, with the theme of Josh Kaine, ALICE IN CHAINS!
A curtain comes down next to the entrance ramp as Alice in Chains tunes up a classic for the entrance.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
REPRESENTING THE GREAT COUNTRY OF GERMANY, THE HUNTER.... JOOOOSHH KAIINNNEEE!
Josh Kaine emerges looking prime and ready to brawl. He makes his way to the ring as German flags wave in the crowd to salute his representation. He glides up the steps and over the ropes with ease, looking swift and effortless. He points to Alice in Chains with admiration, then locks in on his one and only goal. Winning this Shogun match.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
He looks fantastic!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
He sure does, but the Revolutionaries know Kaine is a handful, will they let Victoria face him straight away, or does Vincent have other plans for his emerging movement?
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And NOW.... representing THE PRIDELANDS BY WAY OF THE REVOLUTIONARIES, THE LYONEESSSSS, VICTORRRIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LYYYYYYYYYYONNSSSSS!
Renee and her brother Vincent stand at the top of the ramp gesturing toward the Lyoness as she enters Dystopia with a beautiful blue and white robe. "Fiction" by Orgy subtly creeps louder and louder. She walks between then smiling and pointing at Kaine with a laugh. The backstage feed cuts to Ace Michaels looking visibly nervous watching the monitor. She disrobes as Vincent holds the rope open for her. She enters the ring smiling and taunting Josh. The bell rings as Lyons uses the ropes to stretch, asking the referee to keep the adrenaline rushing Kaine on his side while she warms up.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Lyons needing more time here. While she does that, we again want to extend our thanks to Alice in Chains! What a treat.
Lyons grins as she tells the ref she is ready. He turns giving the okay to Josh who rushes in, but Victoria slides between the ropes with her upper torso, shaking her ass at Kaine playfully.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Clearly the Revolutionaries are playing mind games early to get Josh off his game- Steele.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Indeed my long-haired hippie friend, the Lyoness is showing what the Pridelands is all about, pride!
She shimmies back inside the ropes, Renee and Vincent play to the crowd, trying to get early odds stacked against Josh Kaine. Josh steps back, then fakes one way and goes the other, finally nailing Victoria with a spinning heel kick. She rebounds to her feet to be met with another, then rebounds again to duck under a third, then get the third anyway as she turns right back into another spinning heel kick. Kaine is fired up pacing the ring flexing at the Revolutionaries.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Well the strategy appears to have backfired as the Lyoness is in real trouble here early on.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Poking the bear is one of the most tried and true get in your head tactics in the game, but it doesn't always work. Sometimes it just pisses the bear off and he scratches your face off.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
How thorough.
Kaine gets the stunned Lyons up by her textured blonde hair. He goes for an early Scorpion Death Drop, she spins after Vincent screams at her to avoid it, buying some time by pushing Kaine into the corner causing him to fly shoulder first into the ring post. She falls to a sitting position smiling at her stable mates, pointing to her head to signify her superior intelligence to his.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Group A of Shogun here with the 1 and 10 seeds facing off respectively, with Josh and Victoria.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Are we really going to let these guys hand around outside? They already saved her from that Death Drop.
She gets to her feet adjusting her hair and tights back to perfection. Kaine grimaces as she approaches the corner, but he propels himself through her legs simultaneously pulling the front of her tights with opposite inertia. Victoria flies into the ring post between ropes as Josh returns the favor.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
A dose of her own medicine!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
And now Josh pointing at his head taunting the Revolutionaries at ringside! This one has the ingredients to be a Shogun classic already!
Vincent circles the outside to check on his sister, the ref warns him to keep it short. On the other side Renee hops on the apron saying something to Josh, he turns around to respond and gets raked in the eyes by the Revolution.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Definitely a factor for and against Lyons so far with her team patrolling.
The crowd begins to murmur, then cheer outright, Josh's estranged ex Nikki Caldwell stands on the ramp.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
This could even those odds! ASYLUM CHAMP NIKKI IN THE BUILDING!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
But is she here to help or hurt him??
She saunters down expressionless, not giving away any particular motive. Josh regains his vision a bit, noticing Nikki on her way slowly down the entrance way. Victoria pulls herself out of the ropes still grasping her bad shoulder. She quickly rolls up the distracted Kaine into a school boy. A count from the referee...
ONE!
TWO!
He kicks out, popping up fast but Victoria is too slick, catching him with a Hit and Run go to sleep into running sitting drop kick combination. She goes for another pin, hooking one of Josh's legs this time.
ONE!
TWO!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Josh kicks out!
Nikki looks at Renee shaking her head, not exactly friendly. Vincent points at her swearing to get involved if she tries to save Josh from the Lyoness. Back inside the ring, Victoria tries for a crab lock from the Lyons Den, but Josh wiggles his way free of the attempt, turning her around then spring boarding into a standing hurricanrana. Both are down in the ring recovering. Nikki gets up on the apron drawing the referee's attention. Vincent gets up on the opposite side talking back to the Ashes of Wake second in command. Renee shouts at Victoria to rise to her feet.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Getting a little out of control with interference here for our first round Shogun match up.
Victoria uses the ropes to pull herself into a corner sitting position, but the agile Josh recoils across from her, delivering a massive running splash forcing her body to bounce off the turnbuckles, she falls face first into the center. Josh looks at Nikki again, she steps off the apron as the ref turns his attention to Vincent's insubordinate actions.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Splash by Kaine has Lyons looking like human Jello.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
J-E-L-L-Oh no!
Josh turns back to his opponent, picking her up, then delivering a solid close fisted shot to the dome. Vincent yells at the ref about the illegal blow, Kaine flips him off, then delivers a second. He mounts Victoria and starts mauling her with repeated fists breaking just before the referee's five count.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Kaine in firm control here, Victoria seems to not know where she is after those shots to the head.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Vincent is beside himself outside, the referee has ejected him!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Enough is enough. Renee is still out here though Steele.
Kaine gets Victoria up who is reaching through her foggy vision out for her brother who is walking up the ramp backwards, the ref still waving him on to the back. Josh gestures at Vincent, then hits the inverted belly-to-back Berserker Slam on the woozy Lyons. Hit sits wiping the sweat from his brow. He gets up, lifting her limp body again. Vincent jumps up and down screaming on the ramp as Renee tries to hop onto the apron, but is body blocked in mid air into the barrier outside.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Karma is a bit...
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
CALDWELL JUST LAUNCHED RENEE! VICTORIA IS HELPLESS WITH NO HELP!
Josh goes for another Berserker Slam, but Victoria crumbles to the mat, pulling herself up unsuccessfully on Kaine's knee pads. She struggles to get up as Vincent curses at Nikki who plays off her involvement as if she didn't mean to do it. The replay comes on the big screen showing Renee in the path of Nikki as she also tried to ascend the apron again. Vincent accuses her and threatens to have a big surprise in store for the Ashes of Wake.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
This will not end here.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Bad blood might be an understatement between those two factions.
Josh helps the Lyoness up and hits another Berserker, hooking both legs. The ref drops for the tally.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
His hand is raised as he smiles toward the Revolutionaries in their various locations.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
JOSH KAINE HAS SCORED ONE FOR SHOGUN!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Impressive killer instinct there at the end, why beat around the bush? the tactics backfire on the Revs and it costs the Lyoness a W at Dystopia, and more importantly, for Shogun. The Pridelands is now behind a point!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
We will see if he can keep it rolling after what he overcame in this one!
WINNER: JOSH KAINE
The camera opens to the backstage area where Serenity Scorpio is stretching before Dynamic Duo’s tag team ladder match. She’s already dressed in her ring gear with her WWH World Tag Team Championship sitting nearby. She seems focused as if she’s in her own zone. Her partner, Jocelyn Sky walks into view in her ring gear with her tag title over her shoulder. She waits for her friend to stop stretching before speaking.
JOCELYN SKY
You look just like Stephanie did the other week.
Serenity slowly opened her eyes and glanced at her partner.
SERENITY SCORPIO
It’s been nearly six months since we’ve had a tag title match. After that loss we suffered, we can let the Soulless Sisters think we’ve gone soft.
JOCELYN SKY
We didn’t and I think it’s time we send a message not to just them, but the entire tag division. I like the idea of holding onto these babies for six more months. What about you?
Serenity smiled and grabbed her belt.
SERENITY SCORPIO
Sounds like a plan. We beat the Soulless Sisters before, we can do it again. This time we just need to grab our belts back.
JOCELYN SKY
Forever out of their reach, forever in our hands.
SERENITY SCORPIO
Now that’s...dynamic.
Both girls smile at each other.
JOCELYN SKY
Time to be great, sis.
SERENITY SCORPIO
Right. Let’s send The Adams Family back to their creepy-ass mansion.
Jocelyn chuckled as the girls walked off camera.
As we come back from break we see Co-GM Noah Hanson once again gracing the broadcast team.

“Judas” by Fozzy blares as Chris Matthews, Pandora Barrett and Jacoby Spencer all come out together as a team.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Making their way to the ring at a total combined weight of five hundred fifty two pounds, this is Chris Matthews, Pandora Barrett and Jacoby Spencer!!!
The three make their way to the ring, looking very much like a team, the team all stand together in the ring and are looking like they are trying to work out a plan.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Well Matthews has been around this company for a while longer than me to be exact and the man is a class act in and out of the ring. Spencer is one of those kids that is very streaky, goes real hot then ice cold and then you have Barrett and you might as well flip a coin on which one you get from show to show. Pandora has a ton of potential but just never really seems to grasp the whole concept of putting yourself out there.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Very nice look at this team Noah...impressive...
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
And you still call me an ass kisser...
"Cult of Personality" (w/Tybalt intro) by GEARS ft. Corey Glover blares and out comes Jacob Striker, Uiriamu Minami and Mercedes Vargas. Vargas is a bit behind the normal tag team as they make their way to the ring.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And their opponents weighing at a total combined weight of five hundred forty seven pounds this is “The Natural” Jacob Striker, Uri Minami and Mercedes Vargas.
Minami and Striker are laser focused on the task at hand as Vargas is still kinda wandering behind them. The fans cheer wildly as a t-shirt cannon is shown shooting shirts into the crowd for the fans.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Gonna have to have a talk with the promo department about when to do this sorta thing.
Striker tells his teammates that he has got this start and the others head outta the ring. Meanwhile Matthews, Barrett and Spencer are doing a rousing game of rock, paper, scissors to see who starts and in the end Matthews gets the win and the others seem dejected but exit the ring. Matthews turns and smiles and meets Striker in the middle of the ring and the two lock up and Striker powers Matthews into a corner and then hits a series of elbows and then a knee to the gut that doubles Matthews over in pain. Matthews is sent into the opposite corner and then Striker charges in and nails a clothesline in the corner and Matthews slumps to the mat and Striker with a series of kicks and then tags in Minami Striker pulls Matthews up and the two hoist Matthews up to the top and drop him on the top turnbuckle. Striker sets up for a suplex and meanwhile Minami climbs to the top and as Striker nails the suplex off the top Minami nails a swanton bomb to Matthews. Matthews grabs his gut in pain and Minami grabs a leg and makes a cover....
ONE
TWO!
Spencer runs in and kicks Minami in the back, breaking up the pin.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Spencer doing what needs to be done to break up the pin.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Good teamwork by Minami and Striker!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Well they are one of the most tenured teams here on Dystopia....they should just be able to do moves like that all the time.
Noah looks through his notes.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Are you sure they're a team, according to my research they aren't on the team listings on the website...
Minami gets to his feet and looks over at Spencer who simply shrugs his shoulders and walks to the outside. Minami goes to grab Matthews and lifts him up and then hits an inverted atomic drop and then a series of stiff palm strikes and then a roundhouse kick that drops Matthews like a rag doll. Minami pulls Matthews up and sends him into the ropes and he collides badly with Barrett who wasn't paying attention to the action and gets knocked clear off the apron and hits the guardrail hard and then crumbles to the floor. Matthews grabs the back of his head and Minami with a snap ddt. Minami with another cover...
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout!
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Minami and Striker are just running like a well oiled machine might have to start taking these guys a bit more seriously.
Minami backs up looking to put Matthews away and Vargas tags herself in. Minami looks confused and then shrugs his shoulders assuming that they've done all the heavy lifting and Vargas couldn't possibly screw this up. Vargas drops an elbow on Matthews and then pulls him up by the hair but Matthews ducks a clothesline and runs at Vargas who instinctively jumps in the air but Matthews stops and catches her in an inverted atomic drop and then a sling blade and then makes a dive to Spencer who clears the apron of Minami and Striker and then hits a flying shoulder tackle on Vargas and then a release German suplex that basically drops Vargas on her head.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Man that had to hurt being dropped on that big head of hers like that...

Medics are tending to Pandora and looks like she might even be busted open...

Well that's about right...
Vargas tries to fight back with a series of punches to Spencer but Spencer reaches and tags Matthews but Vargas grabs Spencer and whips him into the ropes but Spencer reverses and then Vargas has to hop over the dropped down Spencer and runs right into Krav Maga and just runs right through Vargas...Matthews with the pin....
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Matthews looks exhausted as Spencer pulls him up, Matthews can be heard asking Spencer where Pandora is and then he rushes over to Pandora at ringside. Meanwhile Minami and Striker look on in shock... Noah scribbles in his notebook.

WINNERS: CHRIS MATTHEWS, JACOBY SPENCER, & PANDORA BARRETT
The scene cuts backstage where we see interviewer extraordinaire, Faith Wilde, beaming her pearly whites.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming at this time the woman who vanquished the evil Sweet Roxy from WWH at Final Destination 9 months ago - the teen dynamo - Orianna Johnson!
The crowd erupts with cheers at the surprise! A lovely chant of “Ori! Ori! Ori!” kicks up as the woman in question steps into frame from off camera, and she’s clad in form fitting jeans and a WWH “Oh Noah” halter top. Orianna’s vibrant blue eyes are lit with joy and she smiles from ear to ear.
ORIANNA JOHNSON
Damn that warmed the cockles of my heart! It’s so good to be back! It’s been too long.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
These fans agree as you heard. Of course now that I have you cornered I have to ask where have you been and why are you back now?
ORIANNA JOHNSON
Well, I’m not going to lie. I finally ended Sweet Roxy for good, but part of me lost. It’s one of those “I won the war but not the battle” things or maybe I have that quote backwards. I pushed myself so hard in that final battle that I broke some things inside me and Roxy sure as hell broke some things too. I had to take time off to recover physically and even emotionally. On top of that I got the ole pink slip because the GM at the time tried to force me into a booking when I wasn’t medically cleared, and I declined to do it. As for why I’m back and why now? Well, WWH’s been through some changes, and I feel like I’ve missed out on a career rocketing run that could’ve come out of my triumph over Sweet Roxy, so I wanted to give this another go and ride the momentum from Final Destination.
Ori wrings her hands together excitedly at the prospect.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
I take it you came here tonight to catch up on things with some buddies and to check out the competition you’ll be facing going forward?
ORIANNA JOHNSON
Absolutely. I mean jeez the talent pool was steep 9 months ago but it’s even steeper now. I look forward to locking horns with some of these who have emerged in my absence.
A familiar “WELL WELL” voice interrupts the interview and Orianna looks over to see Courtney Steele stepping into the frame. The crowd erupts into a mixed reaction, more cheers than boos, as Ori looks a little taken aback for a moment.
COURTNEY STEELE
Long time no see indeed. You okay Ori? Why the face?
Courtney seems genuinely puzzled by Orianna’s reaction. Ori’s face goes a little red from embarrassment over their one and only encounter.
COURTNEY STEELE
No need for that, Ori. I’m not here to ruffle your feathers. I simply overheard your interview here and couldn’t agree more. You and I had to sit out for a bit, but under totally different circumstances, and I just like you want to get back up that ladder as quickly as possible. We’ve lost a lot of valuable time. One thing though; I couldn’t help but notice you mentioned locking horns with the ones who’ve come along in your absence. What about the ones who were here when you were here, such as myself? Are we not good enough or something?
Orianna’s face grows a little more red but she manages to compose herself. Faith Wilde opts to stay out of this and just lingers with the mic between them.
ORIANNA JOHNSON
If I recall, I relentlessly tried to get a rematch with you after you defeated me, humiliated me in my debut here! Now you’re intruding here probing for a fight now that I have some clout?
COURTNEY STEELE
And if I recall, I was in the middle of a title challenger run at the time I beat you, and Ori, let’s be real here okay? I didn’t merely defeat you. You didn’t land a single blow or anything. I’m not trying to rub that in, but I want you to put yourself in my shoes at the time. Why would I stop my bid for the title just to cater to you after I dominated you in such a way? That doesn’t make any sense, you know?
Orianna vigorously shakes her head no in defiance.
ORIANNA JOHNSON
I came here from EWC where I beat champions and former champs alike. I was very successful very early there, and as I told you back then, I was too amped up in myself. I had the high-head and totally underestimated you and overestimated myself! You knew you had given me a wake up call and wanted no part of me afterward because you felt the result would be much different.
Courtney cockily laughs at the accusation.
COURTNEY STEELE
Look, maybe you were off your game that night because of those reasons? I’m not denying it, I’m just saying what happened happened, and that brutal loss at my hands sparked a fire that saw you skyrocket when I stepped away to have my baby. I mean just look at what you did. All those wins. Gave Maki fits in the ring. And you exiled the 2019 wrestler and champion of the year. I can respect that. I can tell you’re a different beast than the one I dominated back then. However, in a weird kind of way you kinda owe me for that wake up call. Plus, we’re both competitors and want to test ourselves against the best, right?
Orianna huffs and stares a few daggers at her.
ORIANNA JOHNSON
You’re just selfish and wanting to use me as a gap closer to the top because I have some clout now. That’s all. The only thing I owe you is a punch to the kisser for the way you blew me off and scoffed at me back then!
COURTNEY STEELE
Well, ok then? All you have to do is rear back and blast me. I’m right here.
Courtney taunts her with a mocking kissy face. Ori does in fact draw back for a punch but her hand is caught and pushed aside by Dystopia GM Noah Hanson.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Whoa! No! I’m not having two returning stars get into a backstage brawl and possibly injure one another. Orianna? Nice shirt. I dig it. But you need to calm down. Courtney? Congrats on the kid. Stop instigating Ori. If you two want to get at each other then that’s fine, but we do it the right way. In the ring. You both know how this works. We don’t give away the full meal first, we hand out the appetizers first. So, I got a bit of an appetizer for the fans next week. You two will be competing against each other in a...
Here he summons his inner Teddy Long--

He gives Faith Wilde a gesture and she leaves as Ori and Courtney mouth off at each other a little more before Noah finally gets them shooed away.
As the opening section of "The Reckoning" by Within Temptation featuring Jacoby Shaddix begins, members of The Order (Darrell Anderson and several Soulless Ones) come out onto the entrance ramp.
Then as the song is about to begin, the announcer attempts to do the introduction...
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing first...
But then Monica Mayhem appears in front of them and cuts the announcer off.
MONICA MAYHEM
Excuse me, what do you think you're doing?
You aren't worthy of introducing these ladies.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am Monica Mayhem and I will be introducing the members who will be fighting and representing The Order of The Soulless tonight.
They hail from The Order Of The Soulless Compound and...
They are The Soulless Sisters; and tonight they are represented by (insert member names here) and weigh a combined weight of two hundred ninety five pounds and made of pure anger, devastation and destruction.
Then as Monica finishes the introductions, suddenly one of them rips through the curtain with a look of sheer madness and devastation in their eyes while the other plays it a bit more cool but still has a mean look upon their face.
Then as they both reach the top of the entrance ramp, they pose like The Ascension and then suddenly Jeff Hardy-style pyrotechnics and flames go off at the same time.
All the while, The Reckoning by Within Temptation featuring Jacoby Shaddix continues playing then they head down the entryway and slowly proceed to the ring.
They both have on their war faces and look like they want a fight and not just a wrestling match. They enter the ring and pose like The Ascension once more. Then one of them crosses their arms like Abyss and then the other throws up Devil Horns and as their arms raise up, flames burst out from the turnbuckles. Then they head to corner to converse strategies with Monica about their upcoming opposition.
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
Gonna have to have a talk with Ms. Mayhem about doing stuff like that, if she wants to be a ring announcer she needs to take the proper classes...
As the Soulless Sisters look around the ring and outside where the ladders and tables are littered around the ring.

Well the tag champs are going to have their hands full with Sisters tonight. Don't know if they can handle this type of match.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Should be a really great match though...
Ross and Sky start and they trade lefts and rights and then Ross drops Sky with a short clothesline and then drops a knee and then an elbow. The camera pans to tag titles being held above the ring. Ross looks at Sky and then at the titles and Ross dropkicks Sky and she stumbles towards the ropes and then tumbles over and out as Black pulls down the top rope and causes Sky to hit the apron hard on her back. Sky pulls herself up and Ross does a baseball slide and causes Sky to fly into the ring railing. She grabs her back in pain and when she gets close to the ring Ross vaults over the top rope and body presses Sky to the floor. Both ladies are in a pile on the floor...

Ross and Sky are both down on the outside and Scorpio is stalking Black on the other side and blasts her with a chair and then a second and Black falls off the apron and to the floor. Black is on her face on the floor and Scorpio runs on the apron, dives off with the ladder and dives off and onto Black hitting her with the chair (Mick Foley style). Too bad that Scorpio will never get a chance to celebrate because out of nowhere a ladder is dropped on to both Black and Scorpio. Scorpio takes the worst of the ladder and marks from the ladder can be seen on the back of Scorpio and Ross celebrates with a primal scream and walks back over to Sky and whips her into the ring steps, Sky crashes back first into the steps and screams in pain. Ross looks around and sees that everyone else is down and grabs a ladder and slides it in the ring and slides in under the ropes and pulls up the ladder and sets it up under the belts...

Ross has the ladder set up and starts climbing up the ladder and she gets near the top and stretches out but the belts are just out of her reach and she climbs one more step and her hands touch the belts and then Sky can be seen on the top rope and leaps off and pushes the ladder over and Ross goes flying over the top rope and crashes through a table at ringside. Sky looks at Ross in shock and then looks up at the belts and then at the ladder and sets the ladder back up and starts climbing and then we see Black climbing through the ropes and she starts climbing up the opposite side and the two meet at the top of the ladder and Black grabs a handful of Sky's hair and bashes her head repeatedly off the ladder and then Sky finally falls off the ladder and crashes hard to the mat. Scorpio is finally moving and sees Black moving up on more steps and she reaches out and grabs one of the belts....
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
This could be it....
Scorpio grabs ladder....
DYSTOPIA GM | NOAH HANSON
....Oh NO!
Black grabs the other belt and unclasps one and then the other just as Scorpio pushes the ladder over. Black crashes to the mat and the camera pans to where the belts were hanging and then to Black and we see Black isn't moving much but has both belts in her hands.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
I hear that we had Faith Wilde in the back earlier and she was with the former International Champion and his manager & wife, the lovely Miss Gloria!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
I hear that he’s none too pleased with some of the words that our illustrious Affliction and World Champion, Havoc had to say Foster!
The scene cuts to the back inside of a locker room. We have Faith Wilde dressed in a slinky, tight blue mini dress with one sleeve, standing in between Gloria and an incensed Jonny Cedrone. Gloria is wearing a black tank top t-shirt and form fitting jeans trying to calm down Jonny. Jonny’s dressed in his wrestling gear, angrily looking down towards the ground, ready to go to war.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
Jonny, in just a matter of moments you take on the Affliction and World Champion, “The Nightmare King” Havoc. He had a few choice words for you and the Revolutionaries. He said…
Jonny’s eyes pierces through Faith’s. She stops in dead sentence realizing the seriousness that’s within Cedrone right now. Jonny pulls the microphone over to his mouth with Faith’s hand still wrapped around it. He looks into the camera and speaks slow, low and austerely.
KING OF SEXY | JONNY CEDRONE
Havoc, this match – this fight that we’re about to embark on will not be for the faint of heart. It will not be suitable for everyone. You brought my wife into this. You…
Jonny closes his eyes in frustration and clutches his fist in anger before taking a deep breath in and letting it out. He opens his eyes, still looking into the camera.
KING OF SEXY | JONNY CEDRONE
You made this personal. You can warn me all you want about how I shouldn’t do this or shouldn’t do that. That’s fine. Don’t you dare say one cross word about my gorgeous wife!
As I’ve said before, I’ve faced monsters before. I’ve faced men twice my size. I’ve face demons. I’ve faced all types. I fight for everything that I believe in and I fight for the honor of my friends and my loved ones.
Jonny looks into the camera lens with a real intense look
KING OF SEXY | JONNY CEDRONE
I – Fear – Nothing
You talk about how you’re doing all of this for change. Change for the better. Well I’m just not seeing it. What I’m seeing and what I’m hearing is a lot of “What about me? What about Havoc?” Like we’re supposed to have some kind of sympathy or pity for ya? Just so you’re aware, not that you care, I have neither. In this business you fight and you earn what you get. You want the top prize? You scratch, you claw, you fight and you earn it.
I’ll give you credit Havoc. You’re the Affliction and World Champion. You did earn both accolades. I never said nor did I ever think that you didn’t. But this delusion that you have that you’re this unstoppable force? Well it’s going to be shaken down to its very core Havoc. You feed off fear, but what do you do when someone doesn’t fear you Havoc? What do you do when someone isn’t afraid of your mind games or your intimidation?
Jonny takes a deep breath and calms down a bit. The lights in the locker room flicker off for a brief moment then come back on. Jonny and the girls look up at the lights in confusion before Faith asks another question
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
Jonny, Havoc tried to warn you of teaming up with The Revolutionaries. Could you share your thoughts on that and your thoughts on the team of The Revolutionaries?
KING OF SEXY | JONNY CEDRONE
First of all, Havoc can try to warn me about anything he wants, but the bottom line is that his opinion of what I should do doesn’t really matter, does it Ms. Wilde? Havoc has his plate full with Mr. Lyons, Ms. Lyons and Ms. Jonae. Tonight, in just a matter of minutes, I add to that plate. He plays The Revolutionaries and myself as a few little gnats that won’t go away. And that’s fine. But the point of the matter is that I stand on the right side. I stand for the weak. I stand for the fallen. I stand for the downtrodden. I stand for love. Havoc? Well he stands for hate. He stands for anger. He stands for annihilation. He stands for death. Am I a part of The Revolutionaries? I can’t stand here and tell you that I’m officially a part of any team to be honest with ya Ms. Wilde. The Revolutionaries? I’ve heard the things that they’ve had to say. I agree with pretty much everything they say and do around here. They’re here to defend the company and put Havoc and the Ashes of the Wake in their place. Who can be mad at that? In all honesty, don’t mind saying that I stand for the same things that they do. I’ve been in the ring with Mr. Lyons and I’ve been in the ring with Ms. Jonae. Two great athletes. Two upstanding individuals. I wouldn’t mind standing by their side, fighting against the evil that is Havoc and the Ashes of the Wake.
“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.”
The lights start quickly and eerily flickering off and on. Jonny looks confused. The girls are scared and scream when the lights go out for the last time. When the lights come back up, the girls are gone and instead of being the regular lights, it’s a red glow. Jonny looks around with a confused and very concerned look on his face. Just then the demonic voice of Havoc is heard
AFFLICTION & WORLD CHAMPION | HAVOC
Jonny. Jonny. Jonny. I do respect your honesty and the courage you’ve shown by expressing your feelings regarding fear, as a whole. I really do. I am not surprised that you aren’t afraid! Most people aren’t…. at first. But that changes real quick when they hit me with everything that they have got-- Their blood, sweat and tears put into any sort of offense that they can muster… Only to see me get back up without a hitch. That truly can be the most disheartening feeling for a fighter-- for a WARRIOR, as you claim to be!
The voices echo throughout the room as Cedrone looks on in confusion. There is still no sight on the World Champion himself, or the women for that matter. Could it just be a fever dream or a hallucination induced by Havoc’s weary methods. Either way, Havoc sounds as bold as ever. The sadistic and maniacal undertones to his underlying threats can be unnerving for most common men.
AFFLICTION & WORLD CHAMPION | HAVOC
You want to prove to the world that I am not this unstoppable force that I have proven to be? You want to show the world that the Ashes of the Wake are the monsters in this scenario when all we have ever done is try to make the world better for people like us who have been deprived of a normal life because they don’t fit the status quo set by the society? It’s a shame that you couldn’t get an easy argument through your thick skull. But I know I can get my fists through it in no time. Tonight, you will learn to fear. Tonight-- You will be introduced to the resolve of the Ashes of the Wake…. For tonight, you will DIE!
The camera is focused in on Cedrone’s face which shows great confusion and concern. After a few moments, the lights come up and back to normal.
BACKSTAGE INTERVIEWER | FAITH WILDE
Jonny?!
GLORIA
Baby?! Ya okay??
Cedrone shakes the cobwebs as the camera backs out and the girls are back in the picture.
GLORIA
Baby?! What’s wrong?!
Cedrone looks at Gloria – pauses – then at Faith – pauses – then back at Gloria before looking back up at the lights and around the room, confused. The camera pans back in on Cedrone’s face and the concern is much more prominent now.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
He looks fantastic!! I have a feeling about this match tonight!
The Main Event challenger Jonny Cedrone paces in the ring as his familiar theme from Metallica "Now That We're Dead" fades on the way back from a commercial interlude. Miss Gloria stands outside with her hands on her hips, teasing fans behind her playfully. Suddenly, a red ambiance begins to seep into the arena.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE

What else is there to say about this man? He has conquered a lot of good talent in not a lot of time to ascend to the crown position here on Dystopia. A true warrior in the modern time.
Jada Blaire steps out of the red smoke with a menacing grin. The expressionless champion follows with a barbed wire baseball bat in hand. All the men and women around the stage bow at his presence as Havoc slowly makes his way down the ramp accompanied by Jada Blaire.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Both men bringing their partners down to the ring. Should be interesting to see if Blaire and Gloria Cedrone behave themselves during this bout.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Does not seem real likely.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
He may look the part, but can Cedrone actually take down the WWH dual champion. Not as easy as it sounds, Caleb.
The bell rings as the two studs survey each other with minimal Managerial chirping from ringside. Havoc's stone face doesn't change for even a split second, countered by the wide smile Cedrone is wearing with his stare.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
THAT'S TRUE JAKE! But, there's something about this guy where you know when the chips fall, he will be there to collect. The King of Sexy is going to need to become the King of Execution tonight. If he does that- maybe... just maybe...
They lock up in the center, pulling and prodding, pushing and peeling, the ref calls a break as the two stumble unbalanced toward the ropes. Jonny fakes a head-butt causing Havoc to do a standing evasive backflip. He lands with an unimpressed look, Jonny charges, Havoc high leaps it, Cedrone turns around and charges again, Havoc uses his own momentum to propel him into a face-plant on the middle turnbuckle rope.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Might have lost a few teeth on that one!
Jonny pleads to the referee to call out the dirty tactics by Havoc, Gloria screams from the far side defending him. Havoc refuses to wait as the ref shakes his head at Jon. Havoc stomps on the still pleading Cedrone's fingers, then delivers a sitting fallback double footed drop kick. Havoc recoils with an up-flip, transitioning perfectly into a top rope springboard into a backflip splash.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Boy- the champ is smooth, isn't he?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
He sure is. Nobody like Havoc in the game. He is truly a unique performer.
Cedrone rolls to the apron under the bottom rope. Gloria pets his hair reassuring him that he is the best and will recover to win. Jada rounds the other side as the ref steps out of the ropes, leaning telling Jada to get back to the other side. Meanwhile, Havoc slides out to get Jonny back into the ring so he can capitalize on the damage, but Gloria rakes his eyes, shoving him head first into the nearest ring post. Jada hops up and down as the ref tells her to cool it and just listen so that he doesn't have to ban her from ringside. He finally turns back around, puzzled as to why Havoc is laying outside. Jonny nods reassuringly to play it off, then gets the Champion up only to ram his back into the corner barrier opposite the post. Havoc moans, Cedrone flips Havoc over the barrier then pretends it was an accident, as he is warned quickly.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Jonny doing what he has to now, mucking it up to get Havoc worn out quicker.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Hey if it takes Gloria, a marching band, and beating the man all over this water park, Jonny will do it to beat the Champion. If he wins this match his opportunities go from limited by card standings, to endless Main Eventer back where he wants to stay. This match is big for Havoc, but as a Non-Title bout, it is much bigger for the challenger.
Beyond the barrier the two exchange right hands with the momentum still on Havoc's side. Out of the foreground and into the Six Flags park, the camera men chase after them as the referee has lost all control. Havoc nails Jonny with a straight right hand, causing him to stumble into a Bugs Bunny cardboard cut out. Miss Gloria's head pops out from behind the cut out, using smelling salts to revive her significant other who is having significant trouble with the Champ.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
How was she there already??
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
It's a theme park, there are traps doors everywhere.
Puzzled, Caleb stares at Jacob unsure how that information was attained. Cedrone rises to his feet, sneaking up behind Havoc who it trying to find a quarter in his wrestling tights to get Jada a Looney Tunes plushy from the spider claw machine. Havoc sees Jonny's reflection in the glass just as he drops a P-P-Porky Pig plushy into the machine release chute. Havoc grabs the pig plushy, tossing it at Jonny who catches it just before Havoc tips over the machine, just narrowly missing Cedrone, who rolls out of the way.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
CLOSE CALL! That could have been bad news for the King of Sexy!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Yeah hard to have much sex appeal when your face looks like an old cutting board.
The two locks eyes as park patrons form a circle around the blocked off area. Moms and dads applaud the live entertainment WWH has brought to Hurricane Harbor. Pointing at their favorite dual Champion in wrestling. Jada finally catches up to the action, noticing Gloria Cedrone with a piece of broken glass in her hand from the claw machine debacle. Havoc and Jonny fight into the line for the Blue Lagoon raft drift ride. Jada Blaire turns Gloria around by the shoulder, back hand pimp slapping her for trying to hurt Havoc. The two struggle, unclear who has the edge, they twist and turn then both tip over a railing into the Blue Lagoon below.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
WHOA! The Managers have now gotten wet. Meanwhile Cedrone is headed through the turnstile, as Havoc waits in his own raft. Park rules, they must have separate rafts, safety first, folks.

Jonny moves onto the rotating raft platform, he heads for Havoc's raft, but the attendant is very strict here.
The two head in their individual rafts down into the Lagoon. Gloria and Jada try to drown each other pitty pattying in the water both disgusting with their clothes being ruined. They finally make it to the side of the fake shore, crying and embracing each other over how wet and miserable they are.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
What is that, Armani?
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Expensive.
The raft of Havoc drifts into the tide pool of the Lagoon, focused and fixated on the raft of Cedrone. Jonny's raft plops into the water as both hilariously begin trying to manipulate their rafts direction toward the other in the controlled water environment with shoulder shimmies and hip thrusts. Jonny uses his hands as a paddle, ending in a circle rotation going nowhere. Havoc grabs the side grips, attempting to slowly hop his raft toward Cedrone's, but an attendant's voice yells to "SIT DOWN."

Other patrons beginning dropping into the Lagoon, which was not originally planned as part of Dystopia's script. A scared little girl looks up at Havoc's makeup and stone face. She starts screaming, he tries to comfort her, but she has the lungs of Barbara Streisand. Her nearby rafting mother paddles over easily using her oddly muscular arms to smack Havoc for whatever he did to alarm her precious spoiled brat. Just as easily she paddles away. Cedrone and Havoc lock eyes, both instantly trying to copy her bad mom buff paddle technique. They finally collide in the center of the Lagoon.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Wow, Havoc is human, I thought that mom might finish it for them.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
She still could! Make no mistake, he is extremely dangerous, we've seen it over and over...
Havoc goes back to his impenetrable face after a brief glimpse of human vulnerability. Cedrone bumper rafts him, then hops into Havoc's raft just as the ride alarm blares signaling a potential safety risk; sensing the proper weight not in one of the rafts. Jonny backhand chops Havoc multiple times, the last of which launches the Champion into the water. Attendants gather around the edges of the pool shouting that they "please listen" and "stop immediately." Gloria and Jada get up after their own moment of relatability in a shitty circumstance, then try to trip each other to help their respective man.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
The cats play while the dogs try to drown each other!
Cedrone hops into the water after Havoc, diving with clenched fists, but can't seem to find the Champion. He comes to the surface puzzled, then swims to the edge as a ride attendant simultaneously scolds him with helping him out. The alarm goes off as normal ride interaction resumes. Cedrone paces the edge as he dries off with a Six Flags old man dancing towel. His eyes feverishly searching for any sign of Havoc.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Oh, I hope he didn't get caught in that industrial drain over there...
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Should we bail in case they ask us to pick up the bill??
Cedrone walks back out as Gloria finally reaches him, filing her hands through his wet hair. Jada Blaire looks on puzzled back at the pool, breaking a smirk as she notices something in the pool.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Why is she smirking? What don't I get?!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Welp- how much time do we have?
Cedrone walks out the ride exit and back into the pathway where the claw machine lays in pieces. He extends his arms in victory. He basks in the glow of beating a dual Champion as Miss Gloria tells him how great he really is, and how she always knew he would make it to the top. The side of the claw machine burst open behind them as they gloat together planning how to conquer Dystopia once and for all for the betterment of WWH, now that the seemingly evil Havoc has vanished. Out of a trap door on the machine, an Ashes of Wake minion stands in black eyeliner holding some type of weapon toward the oblivious good-natured Cedrone.

WHAT IS THIS!? WERE THEY IN THAT THING THE ENTIRE TIME!?
Two more minions emerge from the wake of the previously thought to be innocent kids plushy enclosure. A closer zoom reveals all three in their intimidating dark personas holding P-P-Porky Pig Plush dolls. The dolls begin to smoke red vapor, a large trap door opens finally cueing Cedrone and Gloria to turn around. Out from behind the Minions rising slowly is a giant Porky P-P-Pig doll.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
SEEEEE FREAKIN' TRAP DOORS, STEELE!
Jada Blaire walks back over behind the minions and unzips the back of the giant Porky D-D-Doll. Nikki Caldwell steps out seemingly empowered by her family of minions, her expression fresh with acceptance and devoted to the open arms that welcomed her. Just then, Cedrone's face turns to dread... before breaking the act with an awkward smile. Yet another trap door opens behind he and Gloria, a giant Yosemite Sam pointing a hunting rifle as Porky rises from the ground.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Did they get these giant plush toys from the gift shop, or..? Wait, why Do I suddenly feel a Trojan horse vibe going on?
Gloria walks behind it, unzipping it with a smile, sets of footsteps get shielded behind her as she walks back near Jonny. A combination of heels and boots step up near them both, a pan up reveals the truth.

OH. MY. GOOOOOOOOOOD!

Renee Jonae, the freshly beaten Victoria, and Vincent Lyons Jr. stand next to Cedrone. He looks uncertain for a moment, Gloria smiles reassuringly as if to say she set it up, but the confused Jonny momentarily accepts what feels like help with a mutual disdain for the Ashes of Wake. Vincent holds out a trigger mocking the minions' doll pose, pressing a button as the giant Yosemite Sam fires its rifle, decapitating the giant Porky P-P-Pig. Vincent smiles as Nikki looks up with disdain, then red vapor begins pouring out of the empty hole where the doll head use to be. It thickens as the Ashes begin some sort of chant. They dance around the doll holding hands as Vincent and the Revolutionaries stare, still standing next to Jonny and Gloria.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Some type of ritual? Can this match even end, did it? Where's the ref?

The vapor finally thickens as the chants grow louder, Nikki signals as a massive red vape explosion destroys the remaining giant Porky, leaving in its wake a standing pillar of horrifying resolve, the Nightmare King, Havoc.

Cedrone steps to the middle ground between the two factions standing their ground. Havoc walks toward him with complete rage in his eyes. He runs up attempting a Dead Trigger running knee strike, but Vincent pushes him out of the way at the last possible micro-second, absorbing the blow of the strike. Victoria screams as she and Renee tend to their fallen mate. Havoc turns, practically growling with straight heel rage. Jonny back up, but back right into a firm standing Asylum Champion in Caldwell. Havoc rages with another running knee, but Cedrone collapses out of the way again, Havoc stops his momentum less than a millimeter from Nikki's face. Both sigh in relief, Havoc turns around to find the escapist Cedrone for a final finish, but instead finds a Royal Flush clothesline from hell; flipping him twice vertically into a limp pile of havoc. Jonny tries to pin him, but Nikki steps toward the King of Sexy, the referee emerges from the trap door in the claw machine.

HE... DID IT! HE BEAT HAVOC!
Jonny barely gets the fall as the ref raises his hand. Jonny looks down, returning a wink at Havoc, then none at the irate Caldwell while the minions of Wake attend to their fallen leader. Vincent Lyons is holding his chin from the strike earlier Havoc accidentally delivered meant for Jonny, laying in Victoria's arms as Renee stands behind them. Cedrone looks at Gloria who smiles cheering him on with disdain, then squints at the Revolutionaries unsure what to make of the actions that occurred on this night.
