After what went down at Shogun, it’s probably best for the guy that caused the loss of one of the former co-General Managers to say something. So as much as it killed him to do, Blake spoke with General Manager Noah Hanson to ask for this time. Little did anyone know what was about to happen but with time winding down to Dystopia going Live, nobody (other than the General Manager) knew who was going to open the show.
Standing backstage in the Green Room or Gorilla position waiting for the show to begin, inside the arena it’s Sona Raylee who is in the ring and makes the following announcement.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Blake Anderson!
Blake walks out from the entrance curtain to no music as the sold out crowd is cheering and booing loudly.

Here comes the…

What Jacob is talking about is the match at Shogun.
A full screen recap of the GM Battle is shown as Blake Anderson and Noah Hanson stand in the ring.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Blake Anderson of course was fighting for Paul Sinclair for who will have full control over operations here on Dystopia.

The video replay cuts off, returning back live, Blake is in the ring with a microphone in his hand and lifts his hand to his mouth to speak as the crowd is still cheering and booing.
THE LEFT HAND | BLAKE ANDERSON
I’m sure you all saw what happened at Shogun. Because of that, Paul Sinclair isn’t here. But you know what, I’m okay with that now. When it happened, I was pissed that I let Noah Hanson beat me but that was on me. I had a lot going on that night though and my head wasn’t in the game but now, tonight’s a new era. Tonight, I’m out here to tell everyone that what happened at Shogun was just the beginning. You may think I’m talking about me losing but take a look back at my career here. I’ve done that before. I’m talking about something that has never been done here before. I’m the creator of that because it was me and Paul who broke the glass ceiling and stepped on toes around here and created chaos.
As he says this, the Dystopia theme plays and out walks Paul Sinclair from the entrance stage.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
What is this? Paul Sinclair is back?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
I thought he was done after Shogun. There’s our former co-General Manager.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
But what’s he doing here?
With a microphone in his hand, the theme fades away as Paul stands on the stage to speak. As the camera cuts to Paul on the stage, he begins saying...
FORMER DYSTOPIA GM | PAUL SINCLAIR
Blake, I’m not mad at you for costing me my job. I’m not mad at you for doing what you’re doing now. I’m mad that your head wasn’t in the game and in doing so, you cost me my job and you cost yourself. But I’m a man of my word and General Manager Noah Hanson won and that means he gets me in the ring with him for Five (5) minutes. So I’m asking you to leave it be and let me do my thing. Later tonight, it’s me and Noah and that’s it no matter what happens.
The camera cuts to Blake in the ring and as he takes a deep sighing breath. As he does, Paul turns around and leaves the stage. Blake lifts the microphone again to speak.
THE LEFT HAND | BLAKE ANDERSON
So Paul doesn’t want my help, that’s fine. I remember what was told to me about gloating but you know what? I’M DAMN PROUD! I’m the only undefeated man in this company because I never lost a title because it wasn’t taken away from me but a new title was made and mine was forgotten. Well, now Paul comes out here and says he’s keeping his word so I’m going to take after him. I’m going to keep my word and it’s time to remember. It’s time to remember who I was but also to show everyone the new me, wait, I meant to say...us!
As he says that, an image of a Red circle enclosed around a Red Left hand print appears on the giant production screen.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
That’s the same image we saw at Shogun.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
What is Blake saying?
THE LEFT HAND | BLAKE ANDERSON
I stand before you, a proud member of The Left Hand. I stand before you as I did at Shogun.
A still image of the group, Imperium, in the ring at Shogun is seen.
THE LEFT HAND | BLAKE ANDERSON
Except this time, I’m not under a cloak to hide myself. So tonight, Jonny Cedrone, you’re not facing the Blake Anderson that you knew before. No! You’re facing a man with a new plan and a man that along with Imperium, is here to take over and tonight, I start with you.
Blake tosses the microphone to the mat as it makes a thud sound.
His music of Left Hand Theme plays as he lifts his Left hand high in the air before exiting the ring to a loud ovation of boos but also faint cheers.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
What did we just witness?

Introducing first, hailing from Night City California. He is the Stylin Messiah of Backbreakers himself, Thomas Bane, and his tag team partner in professional wrestling’s own “Handsome Half-breed” himself in Alex Slayer!!!
Thomas calmly makes his way down to the ring, keeping his attention focused on everything as he quickly wipes his feet off on the ring apron before stepping through the ring ropes while Alex makes a circuit around the ring before quickly climbing to the top of one of the turnbuckles and once more hitting his pose as Thomas starts to remove his signature suit while keeping an eye out for trouble

Alex hops down from his perch and removes his ring jacket as Thomas goes over to his team’s corner and casually leans back in it, his smirk now a hungry smile like a wolf’s as the Foundation awaits the bell.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Well I don’t think I’ve ever seen quite as much, pomp around these circumstances. One thing's for certain, The Shinigami Foundation sure know how to make an entrance!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Why don’t you think Sona ever gives ME that much adulation when I make my way to the announce desk Caleb? I mean, I know we come out before the show begins in earnest. But the crowd is here aren’t they?!
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 the introduction...
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing their opponents...
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. Allow me. 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! At a combined weight of two hundred ninety seven pounds of of pure anger, devastation and destruction! Tonight they are represented by “The Slayer” Charlotte Ross and “The Queen of the Soulless” Lady Gwendolyn Black!
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 the corner to converse strategies with Monica about their upcoming opposition.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
I guess both teams get extra grandeur associated with their entrances tonight, Jake! Truly symbolic with how absolutely fire the WWH Tag Division has become lately. Totally exploding with an influx of talented teams!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
The Order of the Soulless are coming off just losing their tag team championships to the...Spooky Scary Skeletons of all people. And you can see they are all business, not at all happy with it! It’s a must win for both of these teams as you say, several teams are jockeying for position and the rights to challenge the Skellies for those belts first!
DING DING DING!
We start off the match with Lady Gwendolyn Black and Thomas Bane. They stand off in the middle of the ring. Lady Black mocks the Shinigami Foundation as “little men” demanding that Thomas give her his best shot. Bane purses his lips and clenches his teeth, obliging his opponent with a STRONG forearm shot to the jaw! Lady Black perhaps surprisingly, is dropped like a sack of soulless potatoes. Imagine undercooked french fries. Just sitting there, soggy, dripping with oil and sad. Gwendolyn tries to get back to her feet, momentarily stunned. But Thomas Bane doesn’t give her the opportunity, instead delivering a shoot kick straight to the bread basket! The guffaw that Lady Black lets out permeates the arena as Thomas Bane gives the finger to the booing fans in attendance.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Thomas Bane is definitely on a tear tonight, looking to really prove a point against the Soulless Sisters! Several hard shots on behalf of Bane!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
He’s out to prove something alright! He had to watch Alex Slayer make an impromptu alliance with Paige Matthews during their Shogun Elimination Chamber match, so Thomas wants to show he means just as much business as his partner!
Thomas Bane continues the assault on the Queen of the Soulless. Lifting her up and delivering a crushing rib breaker, and yet in a show of power he holds on! Lifting up his opponent, Bane arrogantly saunters around the ring as he prepares to deliver another rib breaker. But his arrogance is predictably his undoing, as the Lady Black counters by propping herself up and gator rolls over Thomas Bane with an impressive rolling guillotine choke! Thomas Bane frantically kips up his legs and flails his arms around in a panic, flopping his way into the bottom ropes on the north side of the ring. The referee forces the break, as Lady Black wipes her lips with her backhand with a wicked grin letting Thomas Bane know she was “that” close to tapping him out.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Whoa-ho! Thomas Bane got a little bit cocky there, Jake and it nearly cost his team! Lady Black proving to be a surprisingly adept submissionest in her own right!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Oh those ladies be crafty, Caleb. Let me tell you! Thomas Bane let his ego get the better of him on that exchange, but perhaps after a breather, he can get back in control of this match!
Perhaps in a form of reluctant respect, Bane tags out to Alex Slayer. While Gwendolyn tags out to “The Slayer” herself, Charlotte Ross. The crowd actually reacts rather positively to this, like this was some hidden dream match pairing they’ve wanted to see for a while. The traditional collar and elbow tie up follows. Alex Slayer uses his incredible technical abilities to perform a Hangar 18 flash judo pin, taking down Charlotte Ross right away!
ONE….
TWO…
KICKOUT BY CHARLOTTE ROSS!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Wow! Alex Slayer really showing why he’s the face of the Foundation with that move! Evening up the score of close calls one to one with the former tag team champions!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
These gentlemen are dangerous and they KNOW they’re dangerous. The Sisters better be REAL careful not to slip up against these mat assassins!
The Slayer kips back up to her feet as does Slayer himself. Alex tries to float over with a japanese arm drag, but Charlotte lands on her feet from the somersault. Still holding onto the arm of Alex, she backflips back into a dominant position. Alex sweeps the leg and tries to end Ross’ world with a Starfall diving thrust kick, but she executes a BEAUTIFUL handstand crab walk position into a modified backflip cartwheel esque THING that puts her back on her feet, and nails Alex Slayer with a standing meteora! The referee gets into position for a pinfall!
ONE…
TWO…
THR-KICKOUT BY ALEX SLAYER!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
You ever do a sequence like THAT during your in-ring tenure, Caleb?
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Not in a million years. I was considered athletically phenomenal, but that’s just otherworldly agility by Charlotte Ross!
Alex’s face says it all, with absolute shock at coming that close to defeat. Charlotte Ross runs up to Alex, intent on delivering a running double knees chest burster, but Slayer catches her in mid air! Whether it was on purpose or by instinct doesn’t matter, as he follows up taking her, double legged and all, and revolves her around into a deadrop Saito Suplex that lands her flush on the back of the head! Alex Slayer tags out to Thomas Bane, who quickly enters the ring while they have the advantage. The referee begins the count but by the time he’s done the maneuvers already complete, The Devil’s Due! Wheelbarrow Facebuster by Bane, Cutter by Slayer, Bane goes for the cover on Ross!
ONE….
TWO….
THRE-LADY BLACK ENTERS THE RING, AN EXPLOSIVE RUNNING DROPKICK TO THE CHEST OF ALEX SLAYER, IN TANDEM WITH A SENTON SPLASH TO BANE BREAKS UP THE PIN!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
No way! No way! Shinigami Foundation had this one hook line and sinker! How in the world did Lady Black make the save?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Some would call it pure luck! I call it strategy garnered only through a decade of in-ring experience!
Gwendolyn Black knows she has to act quickly, she grabs the arm of Charlotte and drags her back to the Soulless corner. With a judicial grab of the tag rope, Gwen ceremoniously has Ross tag her into the match. Lady Black is met by Thomas Bane once again. He goes for the Bankai discus forearm, but Black ducks underneath. She pushes Thomas Bane off the ropes, allowing him to rebound with a pendulum lariat he calls Blood Money! But no! Lady Black shows just how low SHE can go, as she bends over backwards to dodge the strike, Matrix Style! Charlotte Ross in desperation to see Bane passing by leaps up with a Righteous Slaying Riot Kick!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Thomas Bane is a house of fire! He’s really bringing his all into this one, but I think the Foundation has lost their footing here!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
I hate to agree with you but it seems like that Devil’s Due was their “Get rich quick” scheme for this match, because after that wasn’t enough, it definitely looks like things are falling apart at the seams! The referee needs to get some control in there!
Alex Slayer is up again, trying to run towards the Soulless Sisters with a leaping strike, but it’s countered by an impromptu shatter machine! Alex rolls out of the ring, selling heavily the impact of the move. Leaving Thomas Bane all on his own in the middle of the ring, crawling to a place of safety. Lady Black wags her finger, declaring “No, you’re going to tap after all!” As she scurries into position and cinches in the Queen’s Lockdown anaconda cross! The Slayer is extremely woozy from that Devil’s Due still, performing her last set of moves through sheer desperation. But as Thomas Bane struggles within the grip of Gwendolyn, Ross is able to muster just enough strength to finish the Sisterly Sanctification, wrapping up Bane’s legs with a boston crab! Bane is screaming in pain for several seconds, but rather than tap out entirely, it seems that the lack of oxygen catches up with his reflexes far too quickly, and he passes out in short order! The referee checks on the man, but sees no life coming from him at all. Rather than waste time with three arm drops, the official decides to save him from the potential choke and calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
WHAT A MATCH! Soulless Sisters are back on their winning ways with their quest to regain those tag team titles. And Shinigami Foundation are unfortunately back to the drawing board finding a way to crack into the upper echelons of the WWH Tag Team Division.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Highway robbery is what this was, Caleb! Those Sisters were in that ring together FAR longer than the five seconds allowed! Regardless, Thomas Bane didn’t tap out! He passed out! Big difference!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
A submission win is a submission win, Jake. What? You’d rather the referee let a man choke to death? He was deemed incapable of continuing the match, it doesn’t get anymore legit than that!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Bah! One thing is for certain, The Shinigami Foundation has shown to have strong warrior spirits. They got a little cocky, lost control of the match and were forced into the Soulless Sisters gameplan. I fully expect that they can learn from this, and come back even more dangerous than ever!
WINNERS VIA SUBMISSION: THE SOULLESS SISTERS
We go backstage to the ladies of the Revolution, The Revolutionaries’ Renee Jonae and Victoria Lyons. Renee Jonae is seated getting her wrestling boots on, and Victoria stands next to her.
🗽THE FAY NOIRE | RENÉE JONAE🗽
Victoria, care to tell the people what’s on the Revolutionary itinerary tonight?
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
The double main events, The Revolutionaries seize both the Affliction and Women’s Championships.
🗽THE FAY NOIRE | RENÉE JONAE🗽
A tall order, I’m sure if you’d ask a hundred people who were the most difficult opponents for Vincent and I, all one hundred would reply Havoc and Cloud, respectively. But no matter what, Vincent and I won’t back down from this challenge. Though at least Vincent has Havoc cornered and desperate after he’s done so much to keep the pressure on him, compared to myself and Cloud…..
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
You WILL win too, Renee. My brother’s record with Havoc, and your record with Stephanie, they don’t define either of you. Your careers mean so much more, and every night is a new battle where the past doesn’t decide the victor.
🗽THE FAY NOIRE | RENÉE JONAE🗽
True enough. It’s friendly, but I still consider Vincent a rival of mine, considering he has Havoc right where he wants him, it gives me extra motivation to not leave tonight empty-handed when I know Vincent will bring gold to our ranks. Most of all, I want us to share in that feeling of overcoming long shadows that have hovered over our careers.
With Shogun over, I should have more time to get back to helping the Revolution against the wicked regime we saw staining WWH. I know Havoc is losing power, but my intuition still tells me the need for our efforts is far from over. Something still isn’t right in this company, not even mentioning what happened to Jocelyn. I can only hope us getting to the top of the company, Jonny doing as he does, and my influence as Shogun can help guide WWH in a better direction.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
I have always trusted your feelings, but tonight isn’t about worrying about bad omens, we can deal with whatever problems come up as they reveal themselves. Tonight you overcome the battle that has taken shape before you, you become the Revolutionary who beats Stephanie Matsuda and reclaims the Women’s World Championship! I have faith in you.
🗽THE FAY NOIRE | RENÉE JONAE🗽
You always were the most measured and grounded of the three of us. I suppose if I win tonight, it’s only a matter of time until you and I face for women’s world gold. It would be like a Final Destination affair, considering we never did quite get to our meeting in the Shogun tournament.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
Me? I’m honoured, but you should be thinking of Maggie first, I haven’t become a top contender yet.
🗽THE FAY NOIRE | RENÉE JONAE🗽
But you will. I know I stare off to the distance too much sometimes, be it from habits in business or the magics that call to my kind, but I know you’re the future of this division. No disrespect to Maggie or Cloud, but aside from myself the one I trust most for this division is the Victoria I see taking shape in the world of tomorrow. This division has meant a lot to me, and I know how much this company means to you Lyons. That’s why I cherish that you two threw your support behind me for the end Shogun and I’m glad I have it again tonight!
Syrene is Lyons city, but you two invited me to plant my seeds here and you can trust the Fay Noire Forest will continue to grow with all its splendour! Tonight, the ultimate fruit of women’s labour returns to the trees!
Renee Jonae stands up as the girls nod at each other and fist bump as the video returns back to ringside.
Suddenly, the arena lights turn off and the crowd is hyped up for what was in store. As the opening of “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” by U2 blares across the PA system, the mood of the crowd changes instantly and the arena is under the subtle glowing of the lights. As the lyrics finally kick in, a figure emerges; the highlight of their attire is being under the illusion. Mercedes Vargas stops short of the entrance ramp, hands on waist, and overlooking the crowd.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Making her way to the ring, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, weighing in at 125 pounds…MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS! (Viene entrando su camino a la cuadrilátero, de Buenos Aires, Argentina…pesando de 56 kilos…MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS!)
Cheers, boos and catcalls soon greet her. Oblivious and yet satisfied with their reaction for several seconds, she flips her long hair, then makes her way to the ring. As she goes up the steps and walks to the end of the ring apron, she climbs to the turnbuckle, then turns her head back as the camera shows her determined expression-perhaps a message that her opponent will be in for a tough fight. She vaults into the ring and walks over to the opposite corner where she relaxes along the corner ropes while waiting for her opponents to arrive.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Well this match has the makings of a good match. Sixx is back, Mardona has a lot of potential but needs to step up and prove something. Vargas has a lengthy resume and lots of accomplishments but just seems to be so inconsistent here in WWH and then you have Lilith Evans repping the Soulless Sisters and she is just like Vargas a lot of accomplishments but very hit and miss.

"Paint it Black" by Ciara comes on as a woman comes out wearing a black hooded cloak over her head. Walking out with her is Charlotte Ross who takes her hand. As she leads Lilith down the ramp, men/women are in black suits and lanterns. She slowly walks to the ring in the middle of the men/women with lanterns around her. She walks up the steps and stops on the apron and lifts one of her arm up in the air and then enters the ring by jumping over the top rope. She kneels in the middle of the ring before taking off her black cloak as Charlotte is seen whispering to her instructions as she stares at her opponent.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Well now that we have everyone here how bout we get this thing started?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Yeah let's get this going....
Vargas and Sixx go right after each other even though this isn't brawl type match. The ref kinda looks at the two and lets them fight as the two ladies are trading lefts and rights and meanwhile Evans goes after Monica Mardona and just throttles her with a series of punches and then pushes her into a corner and uses a series of European uppercats to stagger Mardona. Meanwhile the ref is looking at Vargas and Sixx brawling and both fall over the top and to the floor outside, both women are down and the ref just kinda shrugs it off and focuses back on Mardona and Evans. Evans with a scoop slam and then an elbow drop that leaves Mardona grabbing at her chest. Evans pulls Mardona up and then sends her into the ropes and nails a nice roundhouse kick and then runs and drops a knee and then makes a cover....
ONE!
TWO!
Evans pulls Mardona up by a handful of hair and Evans lifts Mardona up, she waves a finger and it seems Evans wants to dish out some pain and suffering.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Could have been over there but Evans doesn't want to quit having fun.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Would seem that way....
The ref warns Evans about doing that again and Evans just smirks and sends Mardona into the ropes and she nails a standing big boot right to the face and Mardona hits the mat hard. Evans walks behind Mardona and grabs both arms and pulls them behind her in a submission move and then places a foot on the back of the head and then she lets go of the arms and nails a brutal curbstomp. Mardona looks out of it as Evans seems out of it and Evans seems not sure what to do next and Ross is yelling at Evans to finish it and Evans locks in the Black Raven and Mardona can't even tap out so the ref has no other option than to signal for the bell.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
The winner of the match by submission Lilith Evans!

The image shifts from the woman's four way match to the backstage area of Elysium Arena. A door with the Imperium logo on it is fully in focus as Sah'ta Thor steps down the halls carrying a duffel bag. He stops next to the door and smirks at the cameraman.
Sin Incarnate | Sah'ta Thor:
Ah, hello there Dystopians. I know you all saw Shogun and the introduction of Imperium. Less than an hour ago, you all saw Blake Anderson reveal his membership in Imperium. In a few moments we will see him take on John Cedrone in the first of three straight Imperium matches.
Thor pauses as he tilts his head slightly as he raises an eyebrow in amusement.
Sin Incarnate | Sah'ta Thor:
Tonight I will defeat Levi in our match and begin my climb towards my eventual International Championship match. After Shogun that match will be against Stephanie Matsuda, who we all know is a beast in the ring. Though after tonight the double champ could lose the Women's Championship to the Shogun 2020 winner Renee Jonae. Yet, we shall all see how that match plays out won't we.
There is a pause as Thor begins to chuckle for a few seconds before he lifts a hand.
Sin Incarnate | Sah'ta Thor:
In other news, next week I will be bringing back The Bloodworks. Yet, it won't just be a show segment like it has been in the past. It will be a regular feature here in World Wrestling Headquarters and I am pleased to announce that I have some impactful guests already lined up for the show.
Thor pauses and tilts his head a moment then continues speaking.
Sin Incarnate | Sah'ta Thor:
I am going to go ahead and reveal that the first guest on the Bloodworks will be none other than the current WWH World Champion Zolton. Though, you will have to tune in to see what else I have in store on the Bloodworks. Now if you will excuse me I have a match to get ready for.
With that Thor pushes open the door to the Imperium locker room and steps inside as the door closes while we cut to another part of the arena.
Jonny Cedrone’s theme music, “Now That We’re Dead” by Metallica, begins playing over the loudspeakers.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Making his way to the ring accompanied by Gloria weighting in at two hundred and fifty pounds this is the “King of Sexy” JOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYY CEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDRRRROOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!!
After a few moments of letting the fans hype themselves up, Gloria walks through the curtains first, which really gets the crowd going…at least the guys. She stands just outside of the curtain, dressed in one of her well form fitting dresses, looking oh so good. After standing there for a a few moments, Gloria points towards the curtains and out comes Jonny Cedrone! The fans erupt in cheers, nearly blowing the roof off the arena. After soaking in the adulation, Jonny walks down the aisle towards the ring with Gloria leading the way, slapping some of the outstretched hands along the way. Gloria climbs the steps, followed by Cedrone. They walk the apron, stop midway and play to the fans a little bit before Cedrone sits on the middle rope and raises the top rope to allow Gloria to slink her way in between the ropes, showcasing all of her assets much to the delight of all the guys in attendance. Cedrone then wipes his feet before making his way into the ring. Once inside, he climbs each turnbuckle and plays to the crowd, excitingly yelling something out towards the crowd that can’t be heard.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Well Cedrone is going to have to find a way to get back on track after losing his match against Matsuda where does Jonny go from there?
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Great point, both Cedrone and Anderson are at a cross road of sorts on Dystopia both are kinda lost at the moment....
The lights go dark as an image of Blake is seen backstage. By now on the entrance stage, fog machines are covering the platform. He stares into the camera with a deep soul stare before the camera fades. Just before the camera cuts off, a quick glimpse of a Red circle with a Red Left hand palm print is seen.
Blake's [3:14] music then plays in the arena. At the [:17] mark, a Red flash of light illuminates the entrance stage and again at the [:20] mark. At the [:27] mark, Blake casually walks onto the stage and towards the ring. As he approaches the ring, Blake climbs the steps and stands on the apron while scanning over the crowd before stepping through the ropes. Walking to the center of the ring, Blake looks down at the mat as another camera view cuts to a close up of his face. Slowly raising his head and his Left hand revealing a sadistic grin on his face, his music by now has looped or replayed, a large symbol of a Red circle with a Red Left hand print appears on the mat with Blake standing in the middle of the image. As his hand lowers, the building lights begin to turn on and to their normal setting.

Blake looks irritated, like he is still thinking about his loss to Noah...
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
I would have to be that it is still a pretty fresh wound. I mean losing to someone that isn't even active in the ring is something that is going to sit with him for a while.
Both men stand in the middle of the ring while the ref gives them instructions and then searches each man for illegal weapons and then signals for the bell. The two lock up and Cedrone is able to muscle Anderson into a corner and then drops an open handed slap across the chest of Anderson. Anderson grabs his chest in pain and then Cedrone pulls him back up and nails another one, this slap leaves a deep red mark. Anderson tries to get away but Cedrone grabs him and tosses him right back into the corner and drives a hard back elbow right into the face of Anderson and then grabs an arm and whips him into the opposite corner and then charges right in after him and splashes him hard. Anderson stumbles away and then falls to the mat. Cedrone rolls him over for a cover...

I would expect nothing less Cedrone should be throwing Anderson all over the place...
Anderson struggles to get to his feet but Cedrone being the gentleman that he is waits for Anderson to get to his feet and then just runs over him with a shoulder tackle. Cedrone pulls Anderson up by the hair and snapmares him over the applies a rear chinlock and then kinda leans on Anderson forcing him to hold but their weight.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Gotta love what Cedrone is doing, making Anderson carry their weight...

Cedrone does the move but Anderson takes all the stress....
Cedrone lets go of the move and then pushes Anderson to the mat. Anderson quickly gets up runs right at Cedrone but Cedrone sidesteps Anderson and Anderson bounces off and on the return Cedrone catches Anderson for some sorta high impact move but Anderson in mid air dropkicks Cedrone. Cedrone stumbles backwards and Anderson finally has an opening and hits a spinning heel kick to the face of Cedrone that takes Cedrone down. Cedrone is up quickly but Anderson with an armdrag and then a second and then quickly transitions into an armbar and puts a lot of torque on the move causing Cedrone to scream in pain. Anderson releases the hold and transitions right into a front facelock. He yells at Cedrone to tap out but Cedrone refuses and Cedrone struggles to get to his feet but once he does he lifts Anderson off and simply tosses him across the ring. Anderson lands on his feet and charges right back in like some kinda crazy monkey and just starts pounding Cedrone. Cedrone pushes Anderson away and into the ropes but Anderson rebounds off the ropes and just drills Cedrone with a clothesline. Gloria is pounding her hands on the mat trying to get Cedrone to get up. Anderson with a cover...
ONE!

Anderson has been looking real good so far....
Anderson looks at the ref and he points to the shoulder and Anderson shakes his head and Cedrone is finally to his feet and Anderson moves in and hits a series of kicks and then tries for a roundhouse but Cedrone catches the leg and nails a t-bone suplex. Cedrone is still wuzzy and is trying to gather his senses meanwhile Anderson is grabbing his back and getting to his feet and then charges at Cedrone who dodges Anderson sends him into the ropes and on the return nails a nice spinebuster. Cedrone seems to have caught his second wind as he grabs Anderson and nails a snap suplex, doesn't release the move though and pulls Anderson back up and nails a second one then floats over into a cover....

WINNER VIA PINFALL: JONNY CEDRONE
We cut backstage to the parking garage where Josh Kaine is pulling his gear bag out of the truck bed. The Hunter is clearly running a little late, but there is still plenty of time to get changed before his match tonight against the impressive newcomer, Hanari Carnes. The camera follows as he lifts his duffel onto one shoulder and makes his way to the stairwell that leads to the locker rooms.
Shortly before he reaches for the door handle, there’s a noise from behind him--a whistling noise he doesn’t recognize.
He turns and looks behind him, but sees no one.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
Who’s out there? Ain’t in the mood for no games, might as well c’mon out.
The Hunter huffs, annoyed at whatever or whomever may be playing games with him. He turns back to the door and pulls it open, only for someone to rush forward at him, knocking him back. The camera moves wildly to keep up with the action, a figure in black slams the end of a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire into his stomach. Josh lets out a shout as he takes the impact and hits the wall behind him.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
What the fuckin’ hell?!
Instinct takes over and Josh quickly sidesteps the next swing. He drops his bag, snarling at the assailant before charging forward. His attacker swings again, catching just the edge of his shirt before a familiar voice speaks to him.
STRANGER
I’m lost in the dark, Hunter. I can’t find my way home.
He stops in his tracks, eyes wide.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
Who the hell are you?
The masked assailant does not answer, they just swing again before taking off in the other direction and leaving Josh to stand there confused as hell. He looks down to the ground before kneeling down to grab something. As he stands back up, he looks at the solitary black feather in his hand.
We are left in confusion with him as we cut back to ringside.
The sounds of rain falling against the leaves of trees is heard filling the arena as the lights turn into a deep blue. The stage has a fog blanketing it, then the sound of thunder is heard after a flash of strobes, representing lightning, enters the arena.
This happens once more before the gentle hum of whispers are heard before the wispy, subtle female voice comes over the PA system:
”A man without direction has found it. He once led those that needed direction to where they needed to go, now he has found his direction. One where he will and be as great as he has taught others to be. It is now his time. He is the one that will put forth the greatness he has instilled in others. Welcome to his Notorious GREATNESS!!”
The wispy female voice ends with a stern yet calm scream leading into the introduction of “Notorious” by Adelitas Way. Jacoby steps out into the fog upon the stage, wearing his hooded robe covering his wrestling trunks. The crowd gives him a mixed reaction, some boo, some cheer, some just simply scream and yell in excitement.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Introducing first, JACOBY SPENCER!!
Spencer begins to make his way down the ramp now, his head lowered and still hidden by the hood of his robe. The music intensifies as he moves toward the ring. As the chorus hits the speakers, Jacoby slides into the ring under the bottom rope bringing the arena lights back to normal revealing the fog inside the ring as well.
As the lyrics are sung, Jacoby flips his hood down revealing his face, as he screams out in aggression and his arms out bouncing off the ropes, chest first. The song continues as he removes his robe and gently places it outside the ring. He screams through gritted teeth preparing himself for the fight about to take place. After he settles into the corner of his choosing, the song begins to fade and the fog dissipates.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And his opponent, the Brazen Bull...DAVID MORGAN!!
Then “The Brazen Bull” David Morgan steps out from a heavy curtain leading backstage wearing a simple pressed black beret with WWH. As “Soldiers” by Otherwise begins, standing at attention with a broad smile on his face saluting the audience as a whole, as the song picks up he stomps one foot before the other at the top of the ramp setting off a succession of three pyrotechnics with each stomp, when each side has fired three sets he excitedly jogs down the ramp. However much of his theme that has passed cuts off as David starts hamming it up with any fans assembled nearby while progressing to the ring, Once near the ring David gestures with his hands to imitate an angry bull about to charge, before emphatically charging for the ring and sliding in under the bottom rope.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
We haven't seen Jacoby Spencer in a long while here on Dystopia. Heard him and his lady had a baby.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Well, it doesn't look like David Morgan is set to take it easy on the new father here tonight.
The referee does the pre-match check on each of them. They carefully check each of them for potential foreign objects and making their gear is legit. After they do so, they signal for the bell as Morgan and Spencer circle each other to start the match off.
DING! DING! DING!
They grapple each other in a collar and elbow tie-up. After a few moments, David Morgan gains the first advantage by doing a few Standing Shoulder Blocks to try and pop Jacoby’s shoulder out of place. Then Morgan lets go of him and then waits for Jacoby to spin back around to face him before popping him in the jaw with a Discus Punch.
Then after Jacoby hits the mat, he goes for the first cover of the match. The referee sees this and makes the count…
ONE!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Early aggression from David Morgan here. Spencer might be in trouble, Foster.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
I've got confidence in Jacoby's experience in WWH, Steele.
Jacoby immediately kicks out at the count of one. Morgan looks like that should have worked but the referee motions that it was only a count of one. Then Morgan picks up Jacoby and places him into a front facelock and looks like he wants to do a DDT. But as soon as he starts the kick out motion, Jacoby finds the smallest of openings and reverses it with a Judo Throw. The moment Morgan hits the mat, he follows it up with a Rolling Knee Drop right to Morgan’s face to try and keep him down. Jacoby looks around for a moment before leaping onto Morgan with a Standing Elbow Drop and goes for a cover by hooking Morgan’s far leg. The referee sees this and makes the count…
ONE!
Morgan also manages to kick out at a count of one. Jacoby looks slightly dejected but knows that he may need to do more to keep someone like Morgan down for three. Jacoby picks up Morgan and brings him to one of the corners and starts laying in some quick boxing combinations to Morgan’s body before backing away as the referee makes a corner count and reaches to two. Jacoby looks at Morgan, points at him and begins running towards him. Morgan has slowly gotten a few feet away from the turnbuckles before Jacoby leaps towards Morgan and performs a Headscissors Takedown. But as Jacoby tries to complete the spin of the Headscissors, Morgan stops him. Then with a good bit of power and speed, Morgan completes the spin for Jacoby but instead of Headscissors Takedown, Jacoby gets a Gut Crusher for his troubles. After completing the move, Morgan staggers a bit due to the body shots done in the corner before trying for another cover. The referee makes the count…
ONE!
TWO!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Managed to get a two count over on Spencer this time.
But Jacoby manages to not only kick out at the count of two but manages to also use Morgan’s inch of height advantage against him by performing yet another Chain Wrestling-style reversal. Then immediately follows that up with a series of Chain Wrestling grapples before having Morgan all confused and flustered. Morgan tries to swing at Jacoby with a wild Haymaker but gets met with yet another Boxing Combination to make him reconsider that attempted Haymaker.
Then Jacoby starts to clip at Morgan’s thigh with a Kicking Combination but as soon as Jacoby tries to go in for a Head Kick to finish up the combination when Morgan ducks it. Once Jacoby has both feet back onto the mat, Morgan goes in for his signature Iron Claw. He manages to grab Jacoby’s head with it and starts to try and fully cinch it in. The referee checks to see if only submission is about to occur.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Come on, Spencer, fight out!
But as soon as it appears that Morgan has the Claw on, Jacoby suddenly and deftly jumps onto Morgan and locks in his finisher, the Eye Popper (a Jumping Triangle Choke.) After a few moments of struggling, Jacoby has it fully locked in. The referee checks to see if Morgan gives. Morgan is trying to figure a way out of the Eye Popper. After a few more moments of struggling on his part, Morgan finally taps out. The referee signals for the bell.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Looks like it just wasn't Morgan's night.
DING! DING! DING!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
That's my boy!
Then “Notorious” by Adelitas Way begins to play as Jacoby gets his hand raised in victory by the referee and then he makes way out of the ring and smiles knowing that he showed yet another person why he is one of the best at what he does. Then the referee and some staff help Morgan up to make sure that his shoulder/arm isn’t severely injured. Morgan gives a thumbs up as the fans cheer for the performance that he gave and heads to the back with the staff to get his arm and shoulder looked at.

Backstage, Vincent Lyons is found staring intensely at his reflection in a mirror. He remains quiet, letting his face show his emotions, confidence, determination, seriousness and a hint of worry.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
You have to do this. You can’t keep chasing Havoc and failing. At some point when you keep losing, you need to chalk Havoc up as the better man and let someone else try and put an end to his reign of destruction. The most important thing is it needs to end, and maybe it won’t be you…
A female voice from off-camera is heard, it’s Victoria.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
Or maybe you will...
Turning away from the mirror, Vincent looks his sister in the eyes.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
You got this Vincent. This is the night where The Revolutionaries will stand tall at the end with two championships. You and Renee both have my utmost support.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
I’m just preparing myself for all avenues, but don’t think I’m not going to just give up and not try to beat ihm.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
Of course not. Giving up just isn’t in the nature of a Lyons, we’re kinda stubborn hat way.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
Well, I am sort of giving up my chase for Havoc if I lose.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
That’s not giving up. That’s cutting your losses and moving on. You only give up if you don’t try.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
You sound like my therapist.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
Well, it’s the truth. Now get yourself together, and go get ready to win back the Affliction Championship. It’s time for a new regime, it’s time for you to be a champion once again, and it’s time for Havoc and Ashes of The Wake to fall, he’s in a weakened state right now. Weak prey for a young lion to finish off.
Vincent nods.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
Losing the World Championship has indeed weakened him, but it’s also made him more desperate, and it might seem beneficial that the match is no DQ, but that also means Havoc can do whatever HE wants. It means no more excuses. If I lose again, I move on to something else.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
But you won’t lose, you’re going to move on, but it will be as Affliction Champion.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
I hope you’re right. Trust that I’m going to bring the fight to Havoc like I always do. I won’t make it easy on him, if this is truly to end between us tonight, then I am going to throw everything I can at him. I really have nothing to lose here the more I realize it. At worst, Havoc beats me once again and its more of the status-quo, on the other hand, I win and take The Affliction Championship and go on to restore some honor back to that championship.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
I’ll be rooting for you every step of the way, and no matter what happens, I have your back and support your decisions, but right now you just need to get out there and win that championship.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
One things for sure, it’s going to be a war.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
No, it’s going to be a REVOLUTION.
Vincent and his sister lock eyes, a fist bump and nod of the heads are exchanged, before Vincent walks off camera to prepare, Victoria watches him walk off hopefully, as the scene closes..

He is dressed in a pair of black jeans and a red t-shirt with a golden pattern of the Seven Deadly Sins with the words Sin Incarnate in white. After a moment of standing at the top of the ramp He starts towards the ring with a purposeful stride. Getting to the ring he looks at his foe for the night with a look that promises impending.

After, about ten seconds of this Levi lets go of the hold and rears his hand back. Without pausing Levi sends his fist into Thor's face sending the smaller man staggering back a bit. Levi follows up the punch with a release German suplex that sends Thor to the mat in the center of the ring. Levi goes down for a pin.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER

Indeed, and he looks to be bringing it to the man who almost made it to the finals himself, Sah'ta Thor. This would be a big win for Tsingine, and a big backstep for Thor, if it were to go that way.
It doesn't even get to one before Thor kicks out. Once both men are back on their feet Thor delivers a spinning back fist to the side of Levi's chest. This begins a back and forth series of punches until Levi moves back to the ropes only to lunge forward with a big boot. This hits Thor full in the chest sending him flying back to the mat.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Whoah, rough ride there for Thor.

Can he will himself back in the fight? Looked like it knocked all the air out of him.
Thor rolls towards the ropes to get back to his feet. Levi stalks the smaller man as he gets back to his feet. Thor slides back into the ring and connects with a shining wizard. This sends both men to the mat where Levi moves to lock in a figure four onto Thor. The smaller man struggles and forces his way to the ropes to break the hold.
Thor slides out of the ring and walks around to get a breath. After a minute he climbs up to the top ropes before launching off the top with a dropkick to Levi's left knee. This staggers the bigger man back to the ring which Thor takes advantage of with a clothesline to Levi's chest. Thor goes for the pin but Levi manages to kick out.

Sah'ta Thor here finally rallying in the fight, taking the big man off his feet.
Both men circle in the center of the ring before locking up in the center of the ring again. Levi lifts Thor up into a power slam sending his older opponent into the mat. Thor gets a shoulder up forcing the break causing both men to role to the sides allowing both to stand. Once both men are on their feet again Thor rushes forward with a cactus clothesline. Levi stumbles back into the ropes before Thor hits him with a crucifix powerbomb back into the center of the ring.

Thor locks in an Argentine leglock on Levi's left leg. Pulling back on the leg Thor pulls back as Levi pulls towards the ropes. Levi grabs the ropes forcing the break. Thor steps back and watches Levi struggle back to his feet and turn back to the center of the ring. Levi rushes forward with a discus punch. Thor ducks the blow and counters with two chops to the throat, a roundhouse kick to the head, followed by a heart punch. Levi stumbles back and gets hit with a Parasite Eve. Thor drops down for a pin but Levi kicks out before it can be completely locked in. After a few seconds Thor shifts locking in a pentagram choke in the center of the ring.

As Dystopia comes back on the air from commercial break, the bright arena lights instantly go out. A piano can be heard slowly building then is cut off from a loud thunder clap right after a bright light shoots across the top of the arena.
“F8” by Five Finger Death Punch begins to play as the stage fills with a deep blue light and gray mist. As the intro song builds to it’s climax, it is too cut off by a streaking bright light and the loud clap of thunder.
Bringing in “Rise” Cover by State of MINE also into the blue light and mist steps the man that belongs to these songs. The New WWH World Heavyweight Champion, the Man of Chaos himself. Zolton stands among the gray mist, his trench coat hood up, it seems he is facing away from the ring. “Rise” first chorus comes across the sound system prompting the champion to turn and face the ring, tossing his hood off revealing his damp wavy hair illuminated in a silhouette from the blue light. After a few seconds, he begins to move down the ramp, once again not acknowledging the fans who are reaching out to possibly touch the Man of Chaos, either in praise or disdain. He cares not. Reaching ring side, he moves to the steps and climbs them slowly. Once at the apron of the ring, he sheds his trench coat, the arena lights begin to slowly return to normal. Zolton steps into the ring as his newly won World Title returns to being draped over his shoulder when he straightens up. He circles the ring once before climbing to the second turnbuckle in the nearest corner, raising the title high into the air, it seems his usually emotionless face is showing a smile. Stepping down he goes to the opposite corner and does the same. As he steps down he is handed a microphone. “Rise” fades to silence and the arena lights have already returned to normal. Z steps to the center of the ring, bowing his head allowing his damp wavy hair to surround his face. The silence is damn near deafening. He brings the microphone up into the forest of hair.
YOUR MAN OF CHAOS | ZOLTON
Ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages. Allow me to inform you all that your savior has arrived. The man who will bring calm to your hearts. The leader that will carry you through any obstacle and struggle. He is….
He pauses for a brief moment. Then…
YOUR MAN OF CHAOS | ZOLTON
Oh wait, he isn’t fucking here. No. Not ever.
His words come out with a boom as he raises his head revealing a devilish grin beneath his lavish beard. He adjusts the World Title upon his right shoulder, staring at it as he continues.
YOUR MAN OF CHAOS | ZOLTON
No. You are nothing but bottom feeding, mouth breathing, ingrates and parasites. You have done nothing but tell me I wasn’t going to make it to this point. Overcome the supposed Nightmare King. Hell, he said I would choke. Did I choke? Did I fail to overcome? No you fools. I have been telling you all for days, months, even years. This moment was going to happen. This reign was inevitable. This was my destiny.
Z raises the title into the air as he circles the ring. He stops and lowers it back to his right shoulder. He now turns his attention to the camera that is watching him.
YOUR MAN OF CHAOS | ZOLTON
Now allow me to stand here and humbly apologize. I would like to look you all dead in the eye as you dust the greasy, fattening crumbs of whatever processed junk food you are eating while watching this and apologize. I humbly apologize…… To absolutely none of you. You barely deserve me breathing the same fucking air as you are. I am Zolton. I am your Man of Chaos. The reign of Chaos has begun in the World Wrestling Headquarters. Now some of you nimble fingered fattys have been tweeting and facebooking and instagramming that I am nothing more than a transitional champion. Well let me tell you nimrods, I am not just a transitional champion. I am the World Motherfucking Champion of this company and I will not relinquish championship to anyone.
The crowd immediately, well actually have been doing their best to boo over Z as he speaks. The boos have only brought on a more broad smile. Even some chuckles as he pauses between parts.
YOUR MAN OF CHAOS | ZOLTON
I will not be out here defending this precious gold belt to just anyone. No. If I deem you unworthy, meaning you have not won matches against quality opponents, you do not deserve to be in this ring trying, and believe me you will be trying to take this belt off of me. I will reign longer than anyone in recent memory. That includes the previous champion. The cult leader, the supposed Nightmare King, Havoc. They tell me that he did have a rematch clause in his championship contract, just like all champions in the world. I relish in destroying that former champion. Havoc you can come after me, like I have you for over a year. It’s been a long time since you were the hunter. I’ve always been hunting and always will.
The crowd boos more. His eyes lock onto the camera, those piercing blue eyes boring a hole through the lens into the souls of those watching at home and in the back.
YOUR MAN OF CHAOS | ZOLTON
I have brought the chaos to this company and now it reigns supreme over everyone and everything. Oh did I mention that I did this solo. I didn’t have groupies. I didn’t have lackeys doing dirty work for me. I am your true and real champion.
He stops and goes to return the microphone to the time keeper, “Rise” begins to play again, but Zolton isn’t done, he returns the microphone to his lips.
YOUR MAN OF CHAOS | ZOLTON
I have one more thing to say. It means nothing to any of you. But it means the world to me. Crystal, my love. The woman that has always been next to me, supporting me. Striving along side me as we came to this moment in this business. Four years of hard work in this company alone. Let the next four years be the reign of all reigns. Welcome to the Chaos. I love you Crystal. Truly.
“Rise” climbs in volume as Zolton returns the microphone to the time keeper for real this time and he exits the ring and returns to the back holding that Championship with pride and joy. We fade to commercial.

The following match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, standing at six feet five inches tall and weighing in at two hundred thirty eight pounds. Hailing from Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. THE PERFECT STORM. HARNES CARNES!!
Standing backstage in the Green Room or Gorilla position waiting for the show to begin, inside the arena it’s Sona Raylee who is in the ring and makes the following announcement.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Blake Anderson!
Blake walks out from the entrance curtain to no music as the sold out crowd is cheering and booing loudly.

What Jacob is talking about is the match at Shogun.
A full screen recap of the GM Battle is shown as Blake Anderson and Noah Hanson stand in the ring.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Blake Anderson of course was fighting for Paul Sinclair for who will have full control over operations here on Dystopia.

The video replay cuts off, returning back live, Blake is in the ring with a microphone in his hand and lifts his hand to his mouth to speak as the crowd is still cheering and booing.
THE LEFT HAND | BLAKE ANDERSON
I’m sure you all saw what happened at Shogun. Because of that, Paul Sinclair isn’t here. But you know what, I’m okay with that now. When it happened, I was pissed that I let Noah Hanson beat me but that was on me. I had a lot going on that night though and my head wasn’t in the game but now, tonight’s a new era. Tonight, I’m out here to tell everyone that what happened at Shogun was just the beginning. You may think I’m talking about me losing but take a look back at my career here. I’ve done that before. I’m talking about something that has never been done here before. I’m the creator of that because it was me and Paul who broke the glass ceiling and stepped on toes around here and created chaos.
As he says this, the Dystopia theme plays and out walks Paul Sinclair from the entrance stage.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
What is this? Paul Sinclair is back?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
I thought he was done after Shogun. There’s our former co-General Manager.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
But what’s he doing here?
With a microphone in his hand, the theme fades away as Paul stands on the stage to speak. As the camera cuts to Paul on the stage, he begins saying...
FORMER DYSTOPIA GM | PAUL SINCLAIR
Blake, I’m not mad at you for costing me my job. I’m not mad at you for doing what you’re doing now. I’m mad that your head wasn’t in the game and in doing so, you cost me my job and you cost yourself. But I’m a man of my word and General Manager Noah Hanson won and that means he gets me in the ring with him for Five (5) minutes. So I’m asking you to leave it be and let me do my thing. Later tonight, it’s me and Noah and that’s it no matter what happens.
The camera cuts to Blake in the ring and as he takes a deep sighing breath. As he does, Paul turns around and leaves the stage. Blake lifts the microphone again to speak.
THE LEFT HAND | BLAKE ANDERSON
So Paul doesn’t want my help, that’s fine. I remember what was told to me about gloating but you know what? I’M DAMN PROUD! I’m the only undefeated man in this company because I never lost a title because it wasn’t taken away from me but a new title was made and mine was forgotten. Well, now Paul comes out here and says he’s keeping his word so I’m going to take after him. I’m going to keep my word and it’s time to remember. It’s time to remember who I was but also to show everyone the new me, wait, I meant to say...us!
As he says that, an image of a Red circle enclosed around a Red Left hand print appears on the giant production screen.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
That’s the same image we saw at Shogun.

What is Blake saying?
THE LEFT HAND | BLAKE ANDERSON
I stand before you, a proud member of The Left Hand. I stand before you as I did at Shogun.
A still image of the group, Imperium, in the ring at Shogun is seen.
THE LEFT HAND | BLAKE ANDERSON
Except this time, I’m not under a cloak to hide myself. So tonight, Jonny Cedrone, you’re not facing the Blake Anderson that you knew before. No! You’re facing a man with a new plan and a man that along with Imperium, is here to take over and tonight, I start with you.
Blake tosses the microphone to the mat as it makes a thud sound.
His music of Left Hand Theme plays as he lifts his Left hand high in the air before exiting the ring to a loud ovation of boos but also faint cheers.

COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Well I don’t think I’ve ever seen quite as much, pomp around these circumstances. One thing's for certain, The Shinigami Foundation sure know how to make an entrance!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Why don’t you think Sona ever gives ME that much adulation when I make my way to the announce desk Caleb? I mean, I know we come out before the show begins in earnest. But the crowd is here aren’t they?!
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 the introduction...
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing their opponents...
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. Allow me. 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! At a combined weight of two hundred ninety seven pounds of of pure anger, devastation and destruction! Tonight they are represented by “The Slayer” Charlotte Ross and “The Queen of the Soulless” Lady Gwendolyn Black!
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 the corner to converse strategies with Monica about their upcoming opposition.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
I guess both teams get extra grandeur associated with their entrances tonight, Jake! Truly symbolic with how absolutely fire the WWH Tag Division has become lately. Totally exploding with an influx of talented teams!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
The Order of the Soulless are coming off just losing their tag team championships to the...Spooky Scary Skeletons of all people. And you can see they are all business, not at all happy with it! It’s a must win for both of these teams as you say, several teams are jockeying for position and the rights to challenge the Skellies for those belts first!
DING DING DING!
We start off the match with Lady Gwendolyn Black and Thomas Bane. They stand off in the middle of the ring. Lady Black mocks the Shinigami Foundation as “little men” demanding that Thomas give her his best shot. Bane purses his lips and clenches his teeth, obliging his opponent with a STRONG forearm shot to the jaw! Lady Black perhaps surprisingly, is dropped like a sack of soulless potatoes. Imagine undercooked french fries. Just sitting there, soggy, dripping with oil and sad. Gwendolyn tries to get back to her feet, momentarily stunned. But Thomas Bane doesn’t give her the opportunity, instead delivering a shoot kick straight to the bread basket! The guffaw that Lady Black lets out permeates the arena as Thomas Bane gives the finger to the booing fans in attendance.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Thomas Bane is definitely on a tear tonight, looking to really prove a point against the Soulless Sisters! Several hard shots on behalf of Bane!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
He’s out to prove something alright! He had to watch Alex Slayer make an impromptu alliance with Paige Matthews during their Shogun Elimination Chamber match, so Thomas wants to show he means just as much business as his partner!
Thomas Bane continues the assault on the Queen of the Soulless. Lifting her up and delivering a crushing rib breaker, and yet in a show of power he holds on! Lifting up his opponent, Bane arrogantly saunters around the ring as he prepares to deliver another rib breaker. But his arrogance is predictably his undoing, as the Lady Black counters by propping herself up and gator rolls over Thomas Bane with an impressive rolling guillotine choke! Thomas Bane frantically kips up his legs and flails his arms around in a panic, flopping his way into the bottom ropes on the north side of the ring. The referee forces the break, as Lady Black wipes her lips with her backhand with a wicked grin letting Thomas Bane know she was “that” close to tapping him out.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Whoa-ho! Thomas Bane got a little bit cocky there, Jake and it nearly cost his team! Lady Black proving to be a surprisingly adept submissionest in her own right!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Oh those ladies be crafty, Caleb. Let me tell you! Thomas Bane let his ego get the better of him on that exchange, but perhaps after a breather, he can get back in control of this match!
Perhaps in a form of reluctant respect, Bane tags out to Alex Slayer. While Gwendolyn tags out to “The Slayer” herself, Charlotte Ross. The crowd actually reacts rather positively to this, like this was some hidden dream match pairing they’ve wanted to see for a while. The traditional collar and elbow tie up follows. Alex Slayer uses his incredible technical abilities to perform a Hangar 18 flash judo pin, taking down Charlotte Ross right away!
ONE….
TWO…
KICKOUT BY CHARLOTTE ROSS!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Wow! Alex Slayer really showing why he’s the face of the Foundation with that move! Evening up the score of close calls one to one with the former tag team champions!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
These gentlemen are dangerous and they KNOW they’re dangerous. The Sisters better be REAL careful not to slip up against these mat assassins!
The Slayer kips back up to her feet as does Slayer himself. Alex tries to float over with a japanese arm drag, but Charlotte lands on her feet from the somersault. Still holding onto the arm of Alex, she backflips back into a dominant position. Alex sweeps the leg and tries to end Ross’ world with a Starfall diving thrust kick, but she executes a BEAUTIFUL handstand crab walk position into a modified backflip cartwheel esque THING that puts her back on her feet, and nails Alex Slayer with a standing meteora! The referee gets into position for a pinfall!
ONE…
TWO…
THR-KICKOUT BY ALEX SLAYER!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
You ever do a sequence like THAT during your in-ring tenure, Caleb?
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Not in a million years. I was considered athletically phenomenal, but that’s just otherworldly agility by Charlotte Ross!
Alex’s face says it all, with absolute shock at coming that close to defeat. Charlotte Ross runs up to Alex, intent on delivering a running double knees chest burster, but Slayer catches her in mid air! Whether it was on purpose or by instinct doesn’t matter, as he follows up taking her, double legged and all, and revolves her around into a deadrop Saito Suplex that lands her flush on the back of the head! Alex Slayer tags out to Thomas Bane, who quickly enters the ring while they have the advantage. The referee begins the count but by the time he’s done the maneuvers already complete, The Devil’s Due! Wheelbarrow Facebuster by Bane, Cutter by Slayer, Bane goes for the cover on Ross!
ONE….
TWO….
THRE-LADY BLACK ENTERS THE RING, AN EXPLOSIVE RUNNING DROPKICK TO THE CHEST OF ALEX SLAYER, IN TANDEM WITH A SENTON SPLASH TO BANE BREAKS UP THE PIN!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
No way! No way! Shinigami Foundation had this one hook line and sinker! How in the world did Lady Black make the save?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Some would call it pure luck! I call it strategy garnered only through a decade of in-ring experience!
Gwendolyn Black knows she has to act quickly, she grabs the arm of Charlotte and drags her back to the Soulless corner. With a judicial grab of the tag rope, Gwen ceremoniously has Ross tag her into the match. Lady Black is met by Thomas Bane once again. He goes for the Bankai discus forearm, but Black ducks underneath. She pushes Thomas Bane off the ropes, allowing him to rebound with a pendulum lariat he calls Blood Money! But no! Lady Black shows just how low SHE can go, as she bends over backwards to dodge the strike, Matrix Style! Charlotte Ross in desperation to see Bane passing by leaps up with a Righteous Slaying Riot Kick!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Thomas Bane is a house of fire! He’s really bringing his all into this one, but I think the Foundation has lost their footing here!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
I hate to agree with you but it seems like that Devil’s Due was their “Get rich quick” scheme for this match, because after that wasn’t enough, it definitely looks like things are falling apart at the seams! The referee needs to get some control in there!
Alex Slayer is up again, trying to run towards the Soulless Sisters with a leaping strike, but it’s countered by an impromptu shatter machine! Alex rolls out of the ring, selling heavily the impact of the move. Leaving Thomas Bane all on his own in the middle of the ring, crawling to a place of safety. Lady Black wags her finger, declaring “No, you’re going to tap after all!” As she scurries into position and cinches in the Queen’s Lockdown anaconda cross! The Slayer is extremely woozy from that Devil’s Due still, performing her last set of moves through sheer desperation. But as Thomas Bane struggles within the grip of Gwendolyn, Ross is able to muster just enough strength to finish the Sisterly Sanctification, wrapping up Bane’s legs with a boston crab! Bane is screaming in pain for several seconds, but rather than tap out entirely, it seems that the lack of oxygen catches up with his reflexes far too quickly, and he passes out in short order! The referee checks on the man, but sees no life coming from him at all. Rather than waste time with three arm drops, the official decides to save him from the potential choke and calls for the bell!
DING DING DING!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
WHAT A MATCH! Soulless Sisters are back on their winning ways with their quest to regain those tag team titles. And Shinigami Foundation are unfortunately back to the drawing board finding a way to crack into the upper echelons of the WWH Tag Team Division.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Highway robbery is what this was, Caleb! Those Sisters were in that ring together FAR longer than the five seconds allowed! Regardless, Thomas Bane didn’t tap out! He passed out! Big difference!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
A submission win is a submission win, Jake. What? You’d rather the referee let a man choke to death? He was deemed incapable of continuing the match, it doesn’t get anymore legit than that!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Bah! One thing is for certain, The Shinigami Foundation has shown to have strong warrior spirits. They got a little cocky, lost control of the match and were forced into the Soulless Sisters gameplan. I fully expect that they can learn from this, and come back even more dangerous than ever!
WINNERS VIA SUBMISSION: THE SOULLESS SISTERS
We go backstage to the ladies of the Revolution, The Revolutionaries’ Renee Jonae and Victoria Lyons. Renee Jonae is seated getting her wrestling boots on, and Victoria stands next to her.
🗽THE FAY NOIRE | RENÉE JONAE🗽
Victoria, care to tell the people what’s on the Revolutionary itinerary tonight?
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
The double main events, The Revolutionaries seize both the Affliction and Women’s Championships.
🗽THE FAY NOIRE | RENÉE JONAE🗽
A tall order, I’m sure if you’d ask a hundred people who were the most difficult opponents for Vincent and I, all one hundred would reply Havoc and Cloud, respectively. But no matter what, Vincent and I won’t back down from this challenge. Though at least Vincent has Havoc cornered and desperate after he’s done so much to keep the pressure on him, compared to myself and Cloud…..
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
You WILL win too, Renee. My brother’s record with Havoc, and your record with Stephanie, they don’t define either of you. Your careers mean so much more, and every night is a new battle where the past doesn’t decide the victor.
🗽THE FAY NOIRE | RENÉE JONAE🗽
True enough. It’s friendly, but I still consider Vincent a rival of mine, considering he has Havoc right where he wants him, it gives me extra motivation to not leave tonight empty-handed when I know Vincent will bring gold to our ranks. Most of all, I want us to share in that feeling of overcoming long shadows that have hovered over our careers.
With Shogun over, I should have more time to get back to helping the Revolution against the wicked regime we saw staining WWH. I know Havoc is losing power, but my intuition still tells me the need for our efforts is far from over. Something still isn’t right in this company, not even mentioning what happened to Jocelyn. I can only hope us getting to the top of the company, Jonny doing as he does, and my influence as Shogun can help guide WWH in a better direction.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
I have always trusted your feelings, but tonight isn’t about worrying about bad omens, we can deal with whatever problems come up as they reveal themselves. Tonight you overcome the battle that has taken shape before you, you become the Revolutionary who beats Stephanie Matsuda and reclaims the Women’s World Championship! I have faith in you.
🗽THE FAY NOIRE | RENÉE JONAE🗽
You always were the most measured and grounded of the three of us. I suppose if I win tonight, it’s only a matter of time until you and I face for women’s world gold. It would be like a Final Destination affair, considering we never did quite get to our meeting in the Shogun tournament.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
Me? I’m honoured, but you should be thinking of Maggie first, I haven’t become a top contender yet.
🗽THE FAY NOIRE | RENÉE JONAE🗽
But you will. I know I stare off to the distance too much sometimes, be it from habits in business or the magics that call to my kind, but I know you’re the future of this division. No disrespect to Maggie or Cloud, but aside from myself the one I trust most for this division is the Victoria I see taking shape in the world of tomorrow. This division has meant a lot to me, and I know how much this company means to you Lyons. That’s why I cherish that you two threw your support behind me for the end Shogun and I’m glad I have it again tonight!
Syrene is Lyons city, but you two invited me to plant my seeds here and you can trust the Fay Noire Forest will continue to grow with all its splendour! Tonight, the ultimate fruit of women’s labour returns to the trees!
Renee Jonae stands up as the girls nod at each other and fist bump as the video returns back to ringside.
Suddenly, the arena lights turn off and the crowd is hyped up for what was in store. As the opening of “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” by U2 blares across the PA system, the mood of the crowd changes instantly and the arena is under the subtle glowing of the lights. As the lyrics finally kick in, a figure emerges; the highlight of their attire is being under the illusion. Mercedes Vargas stops short of the entrance ramp, hands on waist, and overlooking the crowd.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Making her way to the ring, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, weighing in at 125 pounds…MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS! (Viene entrando su camino a la cuadrilátero, de Buenos Aires, Argentina…pesando de 56 kilos…MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS!)
Cheers, boos and catcalls soon greet her. Oblivious and yet satisfied with their reaction for several seconds, she flips her long hair, then makes her way to the ring. As she goes up the steps and walks to the end of the ring apron, she climbs to the turnbuckle, then turns her head back as the camera shows her determined expression-perhaps a message that her opponent will be in for a tough fight. She vaults into the ring and walks over to the opposite corner where she relaxes along the corner ropes while waiting for her opponents to arrive.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Well this match has the makings of a good match. Sixx is back, Mardona has a lot of potential but needs to step up and prove something. Vargas has a lengthy resume and lots of accomplishments but just seems to be so inconsistent here in WWH and then you have Lilith Evans repping the Soulless Sisters and she is just like Vargas a lot of accomplishments but very hit and miss.

"Paint it Black" by Ciara comes on as a woman comes out wearing a black hooded cloak over her head. Walking out with her is Charlotte Ross who takes her hand. As she leads Lilith down the ramp, men/women are in black suits and lanterns. She slowly walks to the ring in the middle of the men/women with lanterns around her. She walks up the steps and stops on the apron and lifts one of her arm up in the air and then enters the ring by jumping over the top rope. She kneels in the middle of the ring before taking off her black cloak as Charlotte is seen whispering to her instructions as she stares at her opponent.

Well now that we have everyone here how bout we get this thing started?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Yeah let's get this going....
Vargas and Sixx go right after each other even though this isn't brawl type match. The ref kinda looks at the two and lets them fight as the two ladies are trading lefts and rights and meanwhile Evans goes after Monica Mardona and just throttles her with a series of punches and then pushes her into a corner and uses a series of European uppercats to stagger Mardona. Meanwhile the ref is looking at Vargas and Sixx brawling and both fall over the top and to the floor outside, both women are down and the ref just kinda shrugs it off and focuses back on Mardona and Evans. Evans with a scoop slam and then an elbow drop that leaves Mardona grabbing at her chest. Evans pulls Mardona up and then sends her into the ropes and nails a nice roundhouse kick and then runs and drops a knee and then makes a cover....
ONE!
TWO!
Evans pulls Mardona up by a handful of hair and Evans lifts Mardona up, she waves a finger and it seems Evans wants to dish out some pain and suffering.

Could have been over there but Evans doesn't want to quit having fun.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Would seem that way....
The ref warns Evans about doing that again and Evans just smirks and sends Mardona into the ropes and she nails a standing big boot right to the face and Mardona hits the mat hard. Evans walks behind Mardona and grabs both arms and pulls them behind her in a submission move and then places a foot on the back of the head and then she lets go of the arms and nails a brutal curbstomp. Mardona looks out of it as Evans seems out of it and Evans seems not sure what to do next and Ross is yelling at Evans to finish it and Evans locks in the Black Raven and Mardona can't even tap out so the ref has no other option than to signal for the bell.

The image shifts from the woman's four way match to the backstage area of Elysium Arena. A door with the Imperium logo on it is fully in focus as Sah'ta Thor steps down the halls carrying a duffel bag. He stops next to the door and smirks at the cameraman.
Sin Incarnate | Sah'ta Thor:
Ah, hello there Dystopians. I know you all saw Shogun and the introduction of Imperium. Less than an hour ago, you all saw Blake Anderson reveal his membership in Imperium. In a few moments we will see him take on John Cedrone in the first of three straight Imperium matches.
Thor pauses as he tilts his head slightly as he raises an eyebrow in amusement.
Sin Incarnate | Sah'ta Thor:
Tonight I will defeat Levi in our match and begin my climb towards my eventual International Championship match. After Shogun that match will be against Stephanie Matsuda, who we all know is a beast in the ring. Though after tonight the double champ could lose the Women's Championship to the Shogun 2020 winner Renee Jonae. Yet, we shall all see how that match plays out won't we.
There is a pause as Thor begins to chuckle for a few seconds before he lifts a hand.
Sin Incarnate | Sah'ta Thor:
In other news, next week I will be bringing back The Bloodworks. Yet, it won't just be a show segment like it has been in the past. It will be a regular feature here in World Wrestling Headquarters and I am pleased to announce that I have some impactful guests already lined up for the show.
Thor pauses and tilts his head a moment then continues speaking.
Sin Incarnate | Sah'ta Thor:
I am going to go ahead and reveal that the first guest on the Bloodworks will be none other than the current WWH World Champion Zolton. Though, you will have to tune in to see what else I have in store on the Bloodworks. Now if you will excuse me I have a match to get ready for.
With that Thor pushes open the door to the Imperium locker room and steps inside as the door closes while we cut to another part of the arena.
Jonny Cedrone’s theme music, “Now That We’re Dead” by Metallica, begins playing over the loudspeakers.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Making his way to the ring accompanied by Gloria weighting in at two hundred and fifty pounds this is the “King of Sexy” JOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYY CEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDRRRROOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!!
After a few moments of letting the fans hype themselves up, Gloria walks through the curtains first, which really gets the crowd going…at least the guys. She stands just outside of the curtain, dressed in one of her well form fitting dresses, looking oh so good. After standing there for a a few moments, Gloria points towards the curtains and out comes Jonny Cedrone! The fans erupt in cheers, nearly blowing the roof off the arena. After soaking in the adulation, Jonny walks down the aisle towards the ring with Gloria leading the way, slapping some of the outstretched hands along the way. Gloria climbs the steps, followed by Cedrone. They walk the apron, stop midway and play to the fans a little bit before Cedrone sits on the middle rope and raises the top rope to allow Gloria to slink her way in between the ropes, showcasing all of her assets much to the delight of all the guys in attendance. Cedrone then wipes his feet before making his way into the ring. Once inside, he climbs each turnbuckle and plays to the crowd, excitingly yelling something out towards the crowd that can’t be heard.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Well Cedrone is going to have to find a way to get back on track after losing his match against Matsuda where does Jonny go from there?
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Great point, both Cedrone and Anderson are at a cross road of sorts on Dystopia both are kinda lost at the moment....
The lights go dark as an image of Blake is seen backstage. By now on the entrance stage, fog machines are covering the platform. He stares into the camera with a deep soul stare before the camera fades. Just before the camera cuts off, a quick glimpse of a Red circle with a Red Left hand palm print is seen.
Blake's [3:14] music then plays in the arena. At the [:17] mark, a Red flash of light illuminates the entrance stage and again at the [:20] mark. At the [:27] mark, Blake casually walks onto the stage and towards the ring. As he approaches the ring, Blake climbs the steps and stands on the apron while scanning over the crowd before stepping through the ropes. Walking to the center of the ring, Blake looks down at the mat as another camera view cuts to a close up of his face. Slowly raising his head and his Left hand revealing a sadistic grin on his face, his music by now has looped or replayed, a large symbol of a Red circle with a Red Left hand print appears on the mat with Blake standing in the middle of the image. As his hand lowers, the building lights begin to turn on and to their normal setting.

Blake looks irritated, like he is still thinking about his loss to Noah...
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
I would have to be that it is still a pretty fresh wound. I mean losing to someone that isn't even active in the ring is something that is going to sit with him for a while.
Both men stand in the middle of the ring while the ref gives them instructions and then searches each man for illegal weapons and then signals for the bell. The two lock up and Cedrone is able to muscle Anderson into a corner and then drops an open handed slap across the chest of Anderson. Anderson grabs his chest in pain and then Cedrone pulls him back up and nails another one, this slap leaves a deep red mark. Anderson tries to get away but Cedrone grabs him and tosses him right back into the corner and drives a hard back elbow right into the face of Anderson and then grabs an arm and whips him into the opposite corner and then charges right in after him and splashes him hard. Anderson stumbles away and then falls to the mat. Cedrone rolls him over for a cover...

I would expect nothing less Cedrone should be throwing Anderson all over the place...
Anderson struggles to get to his feet but Cedrone being the gentleman that he is waits for Anderson to get to his feet and then just runs over him with a shoulder tackle. Cedrone pulls Anderson up by the hair and snapmares him over the applies a rear chinlock and then kinda leans on Anderson forcing him to hold but their weight.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Gotta love what Cedrone is doing, making Anderson carry their weight...

Cedrone does the move but Anderson takes all the stress....
Cedrone lets go of the move and then pushes Anderson to the mat. Anderson quickly gets up runs right at Cedrone but Cedrone sidesteps Anderson and Anderson bounces off and on the return Cedrone catches Anderson for some sorta high impact move but Anderson in mid air dropkicks Cedrone. Cedrone stumbles backwards and Anderson finally has an opening and hits a spinning heel kick to the face of Cedrone that takes Cedrone down. Cedrone is up quickly but Anderson with an armdrag and then a second and then quickly transitions into an armbar and puts a lot of torque on the move causing Cedrone to scream in pain. Anderson releases the hold and transitions right into a front facelock. He yells at Cedrone to tap out but Cedrone refuses and Cedrone struggles to get to his feet but once he does he lifts Anderson off and simply tosses him across the ring. Anderson lands on his feet and charges right back in like some kinda crazy monkey and just starts pounding Cedrone. Cedrone pushes Anderson away and into the ropes but Anderson rebounds off the ropes and just drills Cedrone with a clothesline. Gloria is pounding her hands on the mat trying to get Cedrone to get up. Anderson with a cover...

Anderson looks at the ref and he points to the shoulder and Anderson shakes his head and Cedrone is finally to his feet and Anderson moves in and hits a series of kicks and then tries for a roundhouse but Cedrone catches the leg and nails a t-bone suplex. Cedrone is still wuzzy and is trying to gather his senses meanwhile Anderson is grabbing his back and getting to his feet and then charges at Cedrone who dodges Anderson sends him into the ropes and on the return nails a nice spinebuster. Cedrone seems to have caught his second wind as he grabs Anderson and nails a snap suplex, doesn't release the move though and pulls Anderson back up and nails a second one then floats over into a cover....

WINNER VIA PINFALL: JONNY CEDRONE
We cut backstage to the parking garage where Josh Kaine is pulling his gear bag out of the truck bed. The Hunter is clearly running a little late, but there is still plenty of time to get changed before his match tonight against the impressive newcomer, Hanari Carnes. The camera follows as he lifts his duffel onto one shoulder and makes his way to the stairwell that leads to the locker rooms.
Shortly before he reaches for the door handle, there’s a noise from behind him--a whistling noise he doesn’t recognize.
He turns and looks behind him, but sees no one.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
Who’s out there? Ain’t in the mood for no games, might as well c’mon out.
The Hunter huffs, annoyed at whatever or whomever may be playing games with him. He turns back to the door and pulls it open, only for someone to rush forward at him, knocking him back. The camera moves wildly to keep up with the action, a figure in black slams the end of a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire into his stomach. Josh lets out a shout as he takes the impact and hits the wall behind him.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
What the fuckin’ hell?!
Instinct takes over and Josh quickly sidesteps the next swing. He drops his bag, snarling at the assailant before charging forward. His attacker swings again, catching just the edge of his shirt before a familiar voice speaks to him.
STRANGER
I’m lost in the dark, Hunter. I can’t find my way home.
He stops in his tracks, eyes wide.
THE HUNTER | JOSH KAINE
Who the hell are you?
The masked assailant does not answer, they just swing again before taking off in the other direction and leaving Josh to stand there confused as hell. He looks down to the ground before kneeling down to grab something. As he stands back up, he looks at the solitary black feather in his hand.
We are left in confusion with him as we cut back to ringside.
The sounds of rain falling against the leaves of trees is heard filling the arena as the lights turn into a deep blue. The stage has a fog blanketing it, then the sound of thunder is heard after a flash of strobes, representing lightning, enters the arena.
This happens once more before the gentle hum of whispers are heard before the wispy, subtle female voice comes over the PA system:
”A man without direction has found it. He once led those that needed direction to where they needed to go, now he has found his direction. One where he will and be as great as he has taught others to be. It is now his time. He is the one that will put forth the greatness he has instilled in others. Welcome to his Notorious GREATNESS!!”
The wispy female voice ends with a stern yet calm scream leading into the introduction of “Notorious” by Adelitas Way. Jacoby steps out into the fog upon the stage, wearing his hooded robe covering his wrestling trunks. The crowd gives him a mixed reaction, some boo, some cheer, some just simply scream and yell in excitement.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Introducing first, JACOBY SPENCER!!
Spencer begins to make his way down the ramp now, his head lowered and still hidden by the hood of his robe. The music intensifies as he moves toward the ring. As the chorus hits the speakers, Jacoby slides into the ring under the bottom rope bringing the arena lights back to normal revealing the fog inside the ring as well.
As the lyrics are sung, Jacoby flips his hood down revealing his face, as he screams out in aggression and his arms out bouncing off the ropes, chest first. The song continues as he removes his robe and gently places it outside the ring. He screams through gritted teeth preparing himself for the fight about to take place. After he settles into the corner of his choosing, the song begins to fade and the fog dissipates.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And his opponent, the Brazen Bull...DAVID MORGAN!!
Then “The Brazen Bull” David Morgan steps out from a heavy curtain leading backstage wearing a simple pressed black beret with WWH. As “Soldiers” by Otherwise begins, standing at attention with a broad smile on his face saluting the audience as a whole, as the song picks up he stomps one foot before the other at the top of the ramp setting off a succession of three pyrotechnics with each stomp, when each side has fired three sets he excitedly jogs down the ramp. However much of his theme that has passed cuts off as David starts hamming it up with any fans assembled nearby while progressing to the ring, Once near the ring David gestures with his hands to imitate an angry bull about to charge, before emphatically charging for the ring and sliding in under the bottom rope.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
We haven't seen Jacoby Spencer in a long while here on Dystopia. Heard him and his lady had a baby.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Well, it doesn't look like David Morgan is set to take it easy on the new father here tonight.
The referee does the pre-match check on each of them. They carefully check each of them for potential foreign objects and making their gear is legit. After they do so, they signal for the bell as Morgan and Spencer circle each other to start the match off.
DING! DING! DING!
They grapple each other in a collar and elbow tie-up. After a few moments, David Morgan gains the first advantage by doing a few Standing Shoulder Blocks to try and pop Jacoby’s shoulder out of place. Then Morgan lets go of him and then waits for Jacoby to spin back around to face him before popping him in the jaw with a Discus Punch.
Then after Jacoby hits the mat, he goes for the first cover of the match. The referee sees this and makes the count…
ONE!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Early aggression from David Morgan here. Spencer might be in trouble, Foster.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
I've got confidence in Jacoby's experience in WWH, Steele.
Jacoby immediately kicks out at the count of one. Morgan looks like that should have worked but the referee motions that it was only a count of one. Then Morgan picks up Jacoby and places him into a front facelock and looks like he wants to do a DDT. But as soon as he starts the kick out motion, Jacoby finds the smallest of openings and reverses it with a Judo Throw. The moment Morgan hits the mat, he follows it up with a Rolling Knee Drop right to Morgan’s face to try and keep him down. Jacoby looks around for a moment before leaping onto Morgan with a Standing Elbow Drop and goes for a cover by hooking Morgan’s far leg. The referee sees this and makes the count…
ONE!
Morgan also manages to kick out at a count of one. Jacoby looks slightly dejected but knows that he may need to do more to keep someone like Morgan down for three. Jacoby picks up Morgan and brings him to one of the corners and starts laying in some quick boxing combinations to Morgan’s body before backing away as the referee makes a corner count and reaches to two. Jacoby looks at Morgan, points at him and begins running towards him. Morgan has slowly gotten a few feet away from the turnbuckles before Jacoby leaps towards Morgan and performs a Headscissors Takedown. But as Jacoby tries to complete the spin of the Headscissors, Morgan stops him. Then with a good bit of power and speed, Morgan completes the spin for Jacoby but instead of Headscissors Takedown, Jacoby gets a Gut Crusher for his troubles. After completing the move, Morgan staggers a bit due to the body shots done in the corner before trying for another cover. The referee makes the count…
ONE!
TWO!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Managed to get a two count over on Spencer this time.
But Jacoby manages to not only kick out at the count of two but manages to also use Morgan’s inch of height advantage against him by performing yet another Chain Wrestling-style reversal. Then immediately follows that up with a series of Chain Wrestling grapples before having Morgan all confused and flustered. Morgan tries to swing at Jacoby with a wild Haymaker but gets met with yet another Boxing Combination to make him reconsider that attempted Haymaker.
Then Jacoby starts to clip at Morgan’s thigh with a Kicking Combination but as soon as Jacoby tries to go in for a Head Kick to finish up the combination when Morgan ducks it. Once Jacoby has both feet back onto the mat, Morgan goes in for his signature Iron Claw. He manages to grab Jacoby’s head with it and starts to try and fully cinch it in. The referee checks to see if only submission is about to occur.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Come on, Spencer, fight out!
But as soon as it appears that Morgan has the Claw on, Jacoby suddenly and deftly jumps onto Morgan and locks in his finisher, the Eye Popper (a Jumping Triangle Choke.) After a few moments of struggling, Jacoby has it fully locked in. The referee checks to see if Morgan gives. Morgan is trying to figure a way out of the Eye Popper. After a few more moments of struggling on his part, Morgan finally taps out. The referee signals for the bell.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Looks like it just wasn't Morgan's night.
DING! DING! DING!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
That's my boy!
Then “Notorious” by Adelitas Way begins to play as Jacoby gets his hand raised in victory by the referee and then he makes way out of the ring and smiles knowing that he showed yet another person why he is one of the best at what he does. Then the referee and some staff help Morgan up to make sure that his shoulder/arm isn’t severely injured. Morgan gives a thumbs up as the fans cheer for the performance that he gave and heads to the back with the staff to get his arm and shoulder looked at.

Backstage, Vincent Lyons is found staring intensely at his reflection in a mirror. He remains quiet, letting his face show his emotions, confidence, determination, seriousness and a hint of worry.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
You have to do this. You can’t keep chasing Havoc and failing. At some point when you keep losing, you need to chalk Havoc up as the better man and let someone else try and put an end to his reign of destruction. The most important thing is it needs to end, and maybe it won’t be you…
A female voice from off-camera is heard, it’s Victoria.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
Or maybe you will...
Turning away from the mirror, Vincent looks his sister in the eyes.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
You got this Vincent. This is the night where The Revolutionaries will stand tall at the end with two championships. You and Renee both have my utmost support.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
I’m just preparing myself for all avenues, but don’t think I’m not going to just give up and not try to beat ihm.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
Of course not. Giving up just isn’t in the nature of a Lyons, we’re kinda stubborn hat way.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
Well, I am sort of giving up my chase for Havoc if I lose.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
That’s not giving up. That’s cutting your losses and moving on. You only give up if you don’t try.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
You sound like my therapist.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
Well, it’s the truth. Now get yourself together, and go get ready to win back the Affliction Championship. It’s time for a new regime, it’s time for you to be a champion once again, and it’s time for Havoc and Ashes of The Wake to fall, he’s in a weakened state right now. Weak prey for a young lion to finish off.
Vincent nods.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
Losing the World Championship has indeed weakened him, but it’s also made him more desperate, and it might seem beneficial that the match is no DQ, but that also means Havoc can do whatever HE wants. It means no more excuses. If I lose again, I move on to something else.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
But you won’t lose, you’re going to move on, but it will be as Affliction Champion.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
I hope you’re right. Trust that I’m going to bring the fight to Havoc like I always do. I won’t make it easy on him, if this is truly to end between us tonight, then I am going to throw everything I can at him. I really have nothing to lose here the more I realize it. At worst, Havoc beats me once again and its more of the status-quo, on the other hand, I win and take The Affliction Championship and go on to restore some honor back to that championship.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
I’ll be rooting for you every step of the way, and no matter what happens, I have your back and support your decisions, but right now you just need to get out there and win that championship.
THE YOUNG LION | VINCENT LYONS JR
One things for sure, it’s going to be a war.
THE LYONESS | VICTORIA LYONS
No, it’s going to be a REVOLUTION.
Vincent and his sister lock eyes, a fist bump and nod of the heads are exchanged, before Vincent walks off camera to prepare, Victoria watches him walk off hopefully, as the scene closes..

He is dressed in a pair of black jeans and a red t-shirt with a golden pattern of the Seven Deadly Sins with the words Sin Incarnate in white. After a moment of standing at the top of the ramp He starts towards the ring with a purposeful stride. Getting to the ring he looks at his foe for the night with a look that promises impending.

After, about ten seconds of this Levi lets go of the hold and rears his hand back. Without pausing Levi sends his fist into Thor's face sending the smaller man staggering back a bit. Levi follows up the punch with a release German suplex that sends Thor to the mat in the center of the ring. Levi goes down for a pin.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER

Indeed, and he looks to be bringing it to the man who almost made it to the finals himself, Sah'ta Thor. This would be a big win for Tsingine, and a big backstep for Thor, if it were to go that way.
It doesn't even get to one before Thor kicks out. Once both men are back on their feet Thor delivers a spinning back fist to the side of Levi's chest. This begins a back and forth series of punches until Levi moves back to the ropes only to lunge forward with a big boot. This hits Thor full in the chest sending him flying back to the mat.

Thor rolls towards the ropes to get back to his feet. Levi stalks the smaller man as he gets back to his feet. Thor slides back into the ring and connects with a shining wizard. This sends both men to the mat where Levi moves to lock in a figure four onto Thor. The smaller man struggles and forces his way to the ropes to break the hold.
Thor slides out of the ring and walks around to get a breath. After a minute he climbs up to the top ropes before launching off the top with a dropkick to Levi's left knee. This staggers the bigger man back to the ring which Thor takes advantage of with a clothesline to Levi's chest. Thor goes for the pin but Levi manages to kick out.

Sah'ta Thor here finally rallying in the fight, taking the big man off his feet.
Both men circle in the center of the ring before locking up in the center of the ring again. Levi lifts Thor up into a power slam sending his older opponent into the mat. Thor gets a shoulder up forcing the break causing both men to role to the sides allowing both to stand. Once both men are on their feet again Thor rushes forward with a cactus clothesline. Levi stumbles back into the ropes before Thor hits him with a crucifix powerbomb back into the center of the ring.

Thor steps back and watches Levi struggle back to his feet and turn back to the center of the ring. Levi rushes forward with a discus punch. Thor ducks the blow and counters with two chops to the throat, a roundhouse kick to the head, followed by a heart punch. Levi stumbles back and gets hit with a Parasite Eve. Thor drops down for a pin but Levi kicks out before it can be completely locked in. After a few seconds Thor shifts locking in a pentagram choke in the center of the ring.

As Dystopia comes back on the air from commercial break, the bright arena lights instantly go out. A piano can be heard slowly building then is cut off from a loud thunder clap right after a bright light shoots across the top of the arena.
“F8” by Five Finger Death Punch begins to play as the stage fills with a deep blue light and gray mist. As the intro song builds to it’s climax, it is too cut off by a streaking bright light and the loud clap of thunder.
Bringing in “Rise” Cover by State of MINE also into the blue light and mist steps the man that belongs to these songs. The New WWH World Heavyweight Champion, the Man of Chaos himself. Zolton stands among the gray mist, his trench coat hood up, it seems he is facing away from the ring. “Rise” first chorus comes across the sound system prompting the champion to turn and face the ring, tossing his hood off revealing his damp wavy hair illuminated in a silhouette from the blue light. After a few seconds, he begins to move down the ramp, once again not acknowledging the fans who are reaching out to possibly touch the Man of Chaos, either in praise or disdain. He cares not. Reaching ring side, he moves to the steps and climbs them slowly. Once at the apron of the ring, he sheds his trench coat, the arena lights begin to slowly return to normal. Zolton steps into the ring as his newly won World Title returns to being draped over his shoulder when he straightens up. He circles the ring once before climbing to the second turnbuckle in the nearest corner, raising the title high into the air, it seems his usually emotionless face is showing a smile. Stepping down he goes to the opposite corner and does the same. As he steps down he is handed a microphone. “Rise” fades to silence and the arena lights have already returned to normal. Z steps to the center of the ring, bowing his head allowing his damp wavy hair to surround his face. The silence is damn near deafening. He brings the microphone up into the forest of hair.
YOUR MAN OF CHAOS | ZOLTON
Ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages. Allow me to inform you all that your savior has arrived. The man who will bring calm to your hearts. The leader that will carry you through any obstacle and struggle. He is….
He pauses for a brief moment. Then…
YOUR MAN OF CHAOS | ZOLTON
Oh wait, he isn’t fucking here. No. Not ever.
His words come out with a boom as he raises his head revealing a devilish grin beneath his lavish beard. He adjusts the World Title upon his right shoulder, staring at it as he continues.
YOUR MAN OF CHAOS | ZOLTON
No. You are nothing but bottom feeding, mouth breathing, ingrates and parasites. You have done nothing but tell me I wasn’t going to make it to this point. Overcome the supposed Nightmare King. Hell, he said I would choke. Did I choke? Did I fail to overcome? No you fools. I have been telling you all for days, months, even years. This moment was going to happen. This reign was inevitable. This was my destiny.
Z raises the title into the air as he circles the ring. He stops and lowers it back to his right shoulder. He now turns his attention to the camera that is watching him.
YOUR MAN OF CHAOS | ZOLTON
Now allow me to stand here and humbly apologize. I would like to look you all dead in the eye as you dust the greasy, fattening crumbs of whatever processed junk food you are eating while watching this and apologize. I humbly apologize…… To absolutely none of you. You barely deserve me breathing the same fucking air as you are. I am Zolton. I am your Man of Chaos. The reign of Chaos has begun in the World Wrestling Headquarters. Now some of you nimble fingered fattys have been tweeting and facebooking and instagramming that I am nothing more than a transitional champion. Well let me tell you nimrods, I am not just a transitional champion. I am the World Motherfucking Champion of this company and I will not relinquish championship to anyone.
The crowd immediately, well actually have been doing their best to boo over Z as he speaks. The boos have only brought on a more broad smile. Even some chuckles as he pauses between parts.
YOUR MAN OF CHAOS | ZOLTON
I will not be out here defending this precious gold belt to just anyone. No. If I deem you unworthy, meaning you have not won matches against quality opponents, you do not deserve to be in this ring trying, and believe me you will be trying to take this belt off of me. I will reign longer than anyone in recent memory. That includes the previous champion. The cult leader, the supposed Nightmare King, Havoc. They tell me that he did have a rematch clause in his championship contract, just like all champions in the world. I relish in destroying that former champion. Havoc you can come after me, like I have you for over a year. It’s been a long time since you were the hunter. I’ve always been hunting and always will.
The crowd boos more. His eyes lock onto the camera, those piercing blue eyes boring a hole through the lens into the souls of those watching at home and in the back.
YOUR MAN OF CHAOS | ZOLTON
I have brought the chaos to this company and now it reigns supreme over everyone and everything. Oh did I mention that I did this solo. I didn’t have groupies. I didn’t have lackeys doing dirty work for me. I am your true and real champion.
He stops and goes to return the microphone to the time keeper, “Rise” begins to play again, but Zolton isn’t done, he returns the microphone to his lips.
YOUR MAN OF CHAOS | ZOLTON
I have one more thing to say. It means nothing to any of you. But it means the world to me. Crystal, my love. The woman that has always been next to me, supporting me. Striving along side me as we came to this moment in this business. Four years of hard work in this company alone. Let the next four years be the reign of all reigns. Welcome to the Chaos. I love you Crystal. Truly.
“Rise” climbs in volume as Zolton returns the microphone to the time keeper for real this time and he exits the ring and returns to the back holding that Championship with pride and joy. We fade to commercial.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
The following match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, standing at six feet five inches tall and weighing in at two hundred thirty eight pounds. Hailing from Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. THE PERFECT STORM. HARNES CARNES!!
Danza Kuduro hits and Hanari spins and dances his way out to the ramp in traditional latin Bachata style. He is carrying the flag of the Dominican Republic on a flag pole over his shoulder. He swings his hips and points at the ladies in the front row, winking and making the gun symbol with his thumb and index finger of his free hand. He spins again and walks his way down to the ring with a cocky head swing and a million dollar smile. Climbing the ring steps he gets into the ring, getting on the top rope and waving the flag a few times before jumping down and preparing for the match.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And his opponent, standing at six feet even, weighing in at one hundred and ninety pounds, was in the Shogun Semi Finals, THE HUNTER, JOOOOOSSSHH KAAAIIIINNNEE!!
The raspy and electric voice of Alice in Chains’ Layne Staley and those distinctive guitar riffs suddenly starts over the speakers of the arena, igniting a pop from the crowd. Josh Kaine appears from backstage, his face empty of all emotion as he walks to the ramp with his arms extended for a few moments before heading to the ring.

And his opponent, standing at six feet even, weighing in at one hundred and ninety pounds, was in the Shogun Semi Finals, THE HUNTER, JOOOOOSSSHH KAAAIIIINNNEE!!
The raspy and electric voice of Alice in Chains’ Layne Staley and those distinctive guitar riffs suddenly starts over the speakers of the arena, igniting a pop from the crowd. Josh Kaine appears from backstage, his face empty of all emotion as he walks to the ramp with his arms extended for a few moments before heading to the ring.
Aaah! Aaah! Aaah! Aaah
♪ I believe them bones are me
Some say we’re born into the grave
I feel so alone, gonna end up a
Big ole pile of them bones ♪
Giving nods and slapping a few fans’ hands on the way down, Josh climbs up onto the ring apron and gives the barest hint of a malicious smile before climbing through the ropes. He retreats to his corner, hands on the ropes.
The referee calls for the bell and the two men circle one another, Kaine faints in only to see what the reaction from Carnes might be. Carnes steps back but quickly resets back. Kaine then decides to go in for the lock up. It’s a stalemate for a moment before Kaine gets the upper hand pushing his foe back into the corner. As Hanari’s back touches the corner, he twists and turns reversing position.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
These two are in a big spot tonight.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
They are, and Carnes gets the upper hand on a reverse. His size advantage revealing itself with that.
The referee is now asking for a break. Both quickly break the tie up. Carnes walks back giving Kaine space. Josh steps out and is grabbed by Hanari, Kaine is sent into the opposite corner. Kaine stops himself, looking back to see if Carnes is coming in for a big splash type move. Carnes isn’t however. Kaine turns and bursts after his foe, surprising him. Kaine does a big power double leg takedown on Carnes. A spear. Kaine rolls off Hanari and stands. Josh proceeds to punish his foe with stomps, then a quick knee drop to Carnes’ chest. Carnes rolls under the bottom rope holding his chest. Kaine tries to pursue but is stopped by the referee.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Kaine getting the upper hand there.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Only for a second though. Carnes being smart here.
Kaine backs away as the referee makes sure Carnes is able to continue the match. He is and is already getting to his feet inside the ring. Kaine wants to go on the attack. He waits patiently and then springs into action. Carnes quickly jumps over Kaine who bounces off the ropes, upon his return is met with a big back elbow. Kaine splays out on the mat at Carnes’ feet and he does a quick elbow drop and covers Kaine. The referee quickly gets in position.
ONE…
TWO..
NOPE!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Too soon for that.
Carnes gets to his feet while bringing Kaine with him. Shoving Kaine into the near side ropes, Carnes awaits Kaine’s return, upon it he executes a spinebuster sending Kaine hard down on the mat.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Carnes showing his power there. Seemingly in full control now.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Don’t count out Kaine just yet though. He can rally back at any minute.
Hanari again bringing his foe to a standing position and hooks him in a suplex style position. Snapping Kaine over, Carnes executes a snap suplex. Kaine holding his back in pain, Hanari steps up upon the middle rope and jumps down going for an elbow drop. Kaine rolls out of the way just in the nick of time. Kaine stays down however. Carnes kneels after connecting with just the mat instead of his opponent. Carnes shakes out his right arm as he stands and stalks Kaine who is barely making it to his feet. As Hanari gets near enough, Kaine throws a quick shoulder into the sternum of Harnari, it only backs him up a step. Kaine pursues and throws a punch. Carnes takes another retreating step. Josh throws a stiff elbow across Carnes’ jaw, another retreating step. Kaine runs back then forward, launching himself into the air at Hanari for a cross body but he is caught and thrown down to the mat. Josh writhes in pain.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Well that didn’t quite go as planned.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Yes sir. Kaine was starting to come back some there, but was stopped in his tracks. Oh Hanari going for another cover.
Referee slides down and begins to count.
ONE…
TWO…
TH…
NOPE!!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Another kick out by Josh. Carnes still in control here.
Carnes again rises to his feet, dragging Josh with him. Lifting Kaine up, and dropping down with an atomic drop and follows up with a quick step lariat sending Josh back down to the mat hard. Hanari steps around his fallen foe who is holding his back. Kaine though rolls to the ropes and reaches up for the middle rope, getting to his feet. Hanari stalking him now. Kaine reaches his feet in the corner. Hanari seeing his opportunity runs at Josh who seems to be almost out of it.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
What is going to happen here? Hanari Carnes seems to have Kaine in the right position.
Carnes runs in and lifts his left leg as though going for his patented super step up enzuigiri. But somehow Kaine grabs the foot and does a modified dragon style arm drag, but using Hanari’s leg.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Josh with a quick maneuver reversing his fortune now. Can he capitalize.
It seems as though that leg drag move tweaked Carnes’ knee, he holds it while screaming out in pain. This gives Josh some time and space to recover and possibly turn the tide of this match. Kaine kips up to his feet and sees that Hanari is holding his left knee. Kaine takes advantage and begins to focus on it. Quick kicks to it causing Carnes to call out in even more pain. After one of the kicks to the injured knee, Hanari sits up reaching for his knee. Kaine cleverly throws a knee into Hanari’s face getting a big pop from the crowd.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Kaine taking advantage now, slamming his knee into Hanari’s face there. Now he is climbing to the top.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Going to be a massive reward or a horrible decision here.
Josh reaches the top rope as Carnes lays in the center of the ring. Kaine launches into the air and hits nothing but mat. Hanari rolls out of the way toward the corner where Josh launched from. Hanari gets to his feet with the help of the ropes, stretching out his left leg, trying to get rid of that knee pain. Kaine is getting to his feet. Hanari sees this and tries to storm after his opponent, but his knee gives way.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Well like I said, bad decision but that knee ain’t doing so well for Hanari here.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Yeah and Kaine can take full advantage now. Oh wait.
Just as Kaine tries to grab Hanari to bring him to a standing position, Carnes grabs Kaine’s right arm, twists and rolls right into his cross arm breaker submission, right in the middle of the ring.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
He’s got it. Hanari has his Viva La Republic! Submission locked in. Kaine has nowhere to go.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
This is it here Steele. That’s all she wrote.
Suddenly the crowd erupts for some reason.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
What is she doing out here.
The view switches to the stage and standing there is none other than Nikki Caldwell. Doing nothing, just standing there. Hanari reacts to the crowd wondering what might be happening. Maybe he won he thinks so he releases the hold throwing his hands in the air as though in victory. But stops seeing Nikki on the stage. He starts yelling in her direction for no apparent reason except she is taking his shine.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Watch out, Hanari.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
He is not using his mind here. He had this match won. Kaine is getting up already.
Josh runs up behind Carnes and hooks up a full nelson and rolls backwards putting them in the center of the ring and Josh locks his ankles around Hanari’s body, squeezing with all his might. Carnes cries out in pain. But screaming no. He won’t give up. Josh tightens his full nelson holding Hanari in place. Still crying out no. He won’t give in.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Hanari not giving up here, this is crazy.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Might be better for him to live to fight another day here. That is tight Steele.
Kaine decides to hold the full nelson in place, releasing the body scissors, placing Hanari’s shoulders to the mat and the ref already in position. Carnes trying to breathe doesn’t realize what is happening until it’s too late.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Well that’s the way to do it.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Taking advantage of Carnes’ mental mistake there, Josh Kaine gets redemption here.
“Them Bones” fills the arena as the crowd cheers Kaine and a quick look up at the stage with a grin to Nikki who nods and walks to the back.

AND YOUR WINNER VIA PINFALL…. THE HUNTER, JOOOOOOSHHHH KAAAAAIINNNEE!!
WINNER VIA PINFALL: JOSH KAINE
The lights dim, as a lions roar is heard, Vincent Lyons Jr appears on the stage in a black jacket as "Wretched and Divine" by Black Veil Brides starts, flanked by his sister Victoria Cadney Lyons, he falls to his knees, and spreads his arms out, taking in the reaction from the fans, as his sister poses behind him, both head down the ramp to the ring, wearing friendly smiles, as Vincent does his arms out pose once more on the ring apron, before entering through the middle rope, and posing mid ring, with his sister as they did on the stage.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for one fall! And it is for the WWH Affliction Championship! It will be contested under No Disqualification Rules! Introducing first, the challenger! He hails from Syrene, California! Weighing in at two hundred twenty five pounds, he is “The Young Lion” Vincent Lyons Jr!!!!
The lights go out in the arena as the crowd waits in anticipation for the arrival of the Nightmare King. A red spotlight appears near the curtains as smoke engulfs the entire stage. “Delusions of Savior” by Slayer hits the PA System as men and women donning face paint crawl out of the smoke and surround the stage for the arrival of ‘their savior’. “Repentless” by Slayer kicks in with strobing red lights, as Jada Blaire steps out of the smoke with a menacing grin followed by the stone faced Havoc 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, and the strobing red lights lighting their path. He places the bat at ringside before climbing up to the top turnbuckle and embraces the negative crowd reaction with a smirk on his face.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And his opponent! Representing the Ashes of the Wake! Weighing in at two hundred fourteen pounds. He is the WWH Affliction Champion! “The Harbinger of Reality” “The Nightmare King” HAVOC!!!!
DING DING DING!
It appears as if the two competitors will meet in the middle of the ring for a staredown to get things started. However, Havoc has other ideas. He runs up to his awaiting challenger and blasts The Young Lyon with a running front dropkick that sends Vincent into the corner! Although he’s taken off his feet and shotgunned into the corner, Lyons catches himself on the ropes to stop himself from completely falling down. Havoc is relentless. He immediately follows up with a sick kick straight to the jaw of VLJ, who finally crumbles to the mat but his ring presence ensures he is still straddled with the bottom rope. Havoc gets right on his man, and to the shock of everyone in attendance he begins BITING Vincent Lyons at his ear! The referee doesn’t even bother with a traditional 5 count. This blatant disregard for the rules forces the official to intervene and wrench the Affliction Champion away from his victim. The crowd in attendance showers the leader of the Ashes of the Wake with boos for his poor sportsmanship.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Now wait just a minute! This match is explicitly no disqualification! The referee has no business pulling Havoc off of his opponent! Really makes you consider what Havoc says is true, that this company has something against him!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Oh come on, Jake. Don’t tell me for one second you’re buying that Jim Jones drivel from Havoc! Besides, No DQ or otherwise, blatantly attempting to injure your opponent is different than trying to win the match. No DQ doesn’t give you carte blanche to break a guys leg, for instance.
Vincent Lyons is checked on by the referee. Who ascertains that he is ok to continue going despite the initial shock of the relentless attack by Havoc. The Affliction Champion waits for the referee to clear out and lets out a guttural roar as he stomps on the midsection of Vincent. But the leader of the Pryde is incensed by this and actually begins fighting back! The challenger peppers off several shots to the solar plexus of the champion, the crowd begins to rise in anticipation, but Havoc cuts him off with a knee to the gut, sending Lyons to the mat once more. Havoc runs against the ropes as Lyons continues to rise to his feet in deviance, and destroys his opponent with the Climax double knees facebreaker! Lyons falls into a heap, as the champion goes for a cover.
ONE….
TWO…
T-KICKOUT BY VLJ!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
My God Havoc is just in too strong of a position here. You can see Lyons is trying to fight out of his predicament, but Havoc is out to send a message.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
He lost the World Title, his pride and joy. The Affliction Title is all he’s got left! Can you imagine if we had to deal with Havoc empty handed?
Havoc begins stalking his prey like a wild animal. Fully in control of this match up to this point, he looks to maintain that foothold as he positions his knee for a charging Dead Trigger to put away his opponent in short order. He goes for the money, but he finds that Vincent Lyon’s Jr. has already emptied the metaphorical register, as he shoulder rolls under the Dead Trigger, bounces off the ropes for added momentum. Havoc doesn’t even have time to respond before he’s caught by a lightning quick head scissors takedown!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Whoa-ho! Vincent Lyons Jr. at the last minute with a helluva head scissors takedown!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Havoc is not going to be happy about that one, Caleb. Vince better come up with a plan quick!
The momentum of the move causes Havoc to rise back to his feet almost immediately, although certainly woozy from the revolutions supplied by the leader of the Lyon’s Pride. Vincent sees this as his opportunity as he should, bouncing off the ropes on the south side now, catching the Affliction Champion from another angle this time with a sling blade! STILL Havoc returns to his feet in quick fashion, as Vincent doesn’t let up either. He goes to the ropes one more time, intending for a running leaping clothesline, but Havoc counters out of instinct with a spinning spinebuster! The wind is knocked out of the challenger as he’s crushed to the mat! He goes for another cover on Lyons!
ONE….
TWO….
THR-ANOTHER KICKOUT BY VINCENT LYONS JR!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Well ahh, so much for coming up with a plan eh Caleb?
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
That spinebuster is a dangerous setback for the challenger. But just look at the heart and determination in the eyes of VLJ! He refuses to give in!
Havoc slams his hand to the mat. Anger and hatred burning in his eyes as he looks down at the recovering rival and perpetual thorn in the side of his Ashes of the Wake. The instability and emotions of the Affliction Champion are bubbling over to the point of entropy running rampant over his actions. He starts viciously attacking Vincent Lyons with animalistic punches, double ax handles and once to a risen position, stomps all across the body of his challenger until he stops squirming so much. Havoc then slides under the ropes, grabbing a mat classic steel chair from ringside and snaps it shut. He comes back into the ring as quickly as he left it, and DEVASTATES Vincent Lyons Jr. with a wicked steel chair shot across the back!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Look I know this is NO DQ, I get that. But Havoc has become a rabid animal! Somebodies gotta stop this. It’s going to get out of hand very VERY quickly!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Awww relax Caleb! You’re a former street fighter yourself! Where’s your sense of bloodlust! Although to be honest, I’m just hoping Havoc doesn’t bring that chair to bear on us!
The Affliction Champion, now seemingly calmed momentarily from his temper tantrum, looks over the aching Young Lyon writhing around on the mat and for the first time, cracks a wicked smile. He drops the weapon, grasps his opponent by an arm and forcibly pulls him to his feet. Havoc rocks the challenger with a Discus Elbow Smash, but Vincent doesn’t leave his feet! Instead, he returns Havoc’s previous looks of intensity and purpose, screaming out a warcry of his own as he counters the champion with his Discus Back Elbow! Havoc spits at the ground and roars at Vincent, tired of his defiance. Havoc goes for his own Discus Lariat, but Lyons anticipates the move. VLJ ducks under the arm of the champion, positions himself on the apron outside. We can see Vincent is holding his lower back in pain, still recovering from the steel chair shot from earlier. While Havoc is boiling over with rage as he marches towards Lyons, his rage blinding him from the telegraphed apron kick that stuns the champ! Vince Lyon’s slingshots from the apron back into the ring, blasting Havoc with a bulldog! Lyons again winces from his lower back, but still is going for his first fall of the match!
ONE…
TWO….
TH-KICKOUT BY HAVOC!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
My God, the fight in this kid is incredible! He is taking everything Havoc can dish out, and he keeps asking for more!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
The Champ’s gonna have to be REAL tactical at this point! We’re getting to a point of no return. The longer this match goes, the more VLJ is feeding off these fans, and goes from strength to strength! Havoc’s in trouble!
The challenger doesn’t let up from his advantage. Or at least, he doesn’t intend to. As he scurries across the ring and runs off the ropes, he looks to connect with a running knee based shining wizard to the rising champion, and he connects! Havoc flops back down to the mat, dazed and confused at this recent flurry of offense when he had some much control beforehand. Vincent looks to the crowd and pumps his fist in the air. He feels that his time has come now to put down Havoc once and for all. VLJ heads to the upper right turnbuckle that happens to be closest to the Affliction Champions prone body, and we all know what he’s going for now! Vincent ascends the ropes the Flyin’ Lyon! 630 Senton for the win!-BUT NO! The Ashes of the Wake leader gets two knees up to intercept Lyons, as his spine contorts in every manner of unintentional ways from the impact of the countered assault.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Jesus the damage to the lower back of Vincent has been absolutely DELIBERATE. From the chair, to now this crucial counter. I have to argue the point Jake, I think it’s just a matter of time before Havoc wears down the challenger and retains his title.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Look I’m not saying smart money isn’t on Havoc tonight. Not with everything on the line. But if he’s gonna put Vince away, he needs to do it NOW.
Vincent Lyons Jr squirms on the mat in excruciating pain. While Havoc simply looks at his opponent with disgust and aggravation. The champion takes his opportunity. He grabs ahold of his rival and wastes no further time DESTROYING VLJ with a wicked and vicious Giga Drill Break Brainbuster! The crowd gasps and boos simultaneously. Conditioned all too well to know this is the end for their hero.
ONE….
TWO…
THRE----NO! VLJ KICKS OUT! THE LYON’S PRIDE KICKS OUT!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
OH MY CHRIST! VLJ WILL NOT BE DENIED! NO MATTER THE MOVE. NO MATTER THE DAMAGE HE SUSTAINS. LYONS WILL. NOT. QUIT!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
This display of heart and spirit is simply awe inspiring. But it’s a bitter-sweet feeling, Foster. I mean, the kid just took a Giga Drill Break! He’s done for. There’s no way.
Havoc howls like a dying mandrill into the heavens and wildly grabs the face and head of his opponent. He shakes VLJ violently on the mat as he screams “Why won’t you just die?!?!?!” before standing backup and whips his head from side to side like a diseased animal thrashing about for an answer. Havoc bobs up and down looking to try once again to go for the Dead Trigger. It may not have worked the first time around, but this time surely VLJ doesn’t have enough left in the tank to roll out of the way of this one. He awaits the wobbly challenger as Lyons tries his best to rise from the impact of that Giga Drill Break. Havoc can’t wait any longer. He doesn’t give Vincent the courtesy of a full rise to his feet. The champion charges like an apex predator catching up to its next meal, and the Dead Trigger connects! But not with Vincent Lyons Jr, oh no! Havoc slams the Dead Trigger Knee strike straight into the corner turnbuckle, as Lyons dodged at the last possible moment with a pivot and ballet inspired revolution to place him behind the champion!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
This is it! This is his moment, Jake! He’s just gotta dig down deep and finish it off! He’s gotta beat Havoc!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
So much for that impartiality eh my friend? But I agree, it’s now or never. If VLJ can’t beat Havoc now, I can’t imagine his body is going to hold out much longer!
Havoc’s knee is virtually crushed on collision with the turnbuckle. VLJ rolls under the bottom rope right near where Havoc leaves his trusty barbed wire baseball bat. Although Vincent may be wasting time going for this exclamation point, he takes the risk. Havoc attends to hobble out of the turnbuckle corner, just in time to see Lyons come back into the ring. The champion can only do so much as lift his hand over his face as VLJ BLASTS havoc in the face with the bat! He’s down! Much to the shock of everyone, Havoc still seems rather lucid on the mat even after eating such a brutal strike! Enough so that he is still holding onto his injured knee, letting go and grasping it again. The champions head shifts up and down as his grip changes on the leg, clearly falling in and out of consciousness from the move in conjunction with the breaking of his own mind. Vincent climbs the turnbuckles once more to deliver his own Flyin’ Lyon trademark move for the second time. VLJ hopes to have better luck than Havoc on executing their well scouted signatures together, and he does! Havoc’s injured ligament prevents him from countering in the same fashion as before, or even properly moving away, as another devastating 630 splash comes crashing down on the champion! The wind is out of his sails! Lyons is going for the cover!
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
LYONS DID IT! LYONS DID IT! WE HAVE A NEW AFFLICTION CHAMPION! The dark cloud emanating from the Ashes of the Wake has lifted itself off of WWH and it’s championships, as Vincent Lyons completed the mission he was set out to do, and that was stop Havoc once and for all! It took everything! A tremendous beating! Using Havoc’s OWN WEAPON against him! The Flyin’ Lyon seals the deal. NEW CHAMPION!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Un-fucking-believable. Havoc has ruled the roost for over a year. Ever since winning the Shogun of 2019. He’s been unstoppable. That is until Zolton, until Vincent Lyons Jr. Until enough pieces of the puzzle came together to dethrone the double champion. Enjoy this victory while you can, Lyons. Havoc is not going to stay laying down for long. And he’ll be back, with a vengeance.
WINNER AND NEW AFFLICTION CHAMPION: VINCENT LYONS JR.
As fans in attendance and at how were getting both excited and pumped for the main event match for the WWH Women's title between Stephanie Matsuda and Renee Jonae. Just as everything seemed to be ready for the main event.....
"Better Than You" hits the PA system as The King of Australia and The Greatest Wrestler of the Modern Era, Nicholas King steps out from the entrance as he's flanked by his bodyguard Jürgen and his personal ring announcer Stefano. He gives the booing crowd a smug grin as he flips them off as Jürgen hands him a Mic.
THE KING OF AUSTRALIA | NICHOLAS KING
Ladies and gentlemen, hold your applause and just bask in the glory that is the greatest wrestler of the modern era, Nicholas King. I gotta ask though...did you miss me Dystopia? Did yah? Well this is how much i missed you all
He proceeds to flip the middle finger at the crowd, causing them to boo him more. King takes it all in as his smile just grows from enjoying the reaction he was getting out of the fans.
THE KING OF AUSTRALIA | NICHOLAS KING
Now, I would first like to address something...important, something that has irritated me since I left Dystopia for a bit. That irritation is Travis Levitt, the guy who entered the Shogun tournament. I was going to enter myself into the tournament and show all these so-called "Top Stars" of Dystopia what a REAL Top Star looks like. However, I get told that all the slots for Dystopia are full....so I said I'll just hop over to that crummy place called Sanatorium then. Then when I ask to represent my proud home country of Australia, I'm told that someone is already representing it.
King pacing a little bit on the entrance ramp as he scratches his head a bit in irritation at being denied the chance to represent his home country because of one person.
THE KING OF AUSTRALIA | NICHOLAS KING
To make matters worse, i had to watch from home of said person getting his ass beat repeatedly throughout the tournament to the point where he had zero points...ZERO FUCKING POINTS!!! Do you know how frustrating it is to see some loser represent your home country and only to watch them humiliate it by constantly losing! I even had the freaking Queen of Australia call my number, because of course I hang out with some high class people who are wealthier than you poor fools.
The crowd soon began chanting "Fuck you King" while clapping. King rolled his eyes at them as he continued.
THE KING OF AUSTRALIA | NICHOLAS KING
Anyway, the Queen of Australia called me and asked: 'Nicholas, why did they allow this low life to represent Australia?' I told her: 'I don't know ma'am, he's probably just a charity case.' But let's forget about what's his face and focus on something even more important....championship gold.
I said that i would go straight after the world title and i still will, but maybe and i do mean MAYBE, i should take some...baby steps. Starting with taking the International Championship from....chuckles...sorry ladies and gentlemen, I sorta forgot who the champion was since aren't relevant in my opinion, which of course is a fact. For now, I'll let you all enjoy your little main event. I can't wait to get back in the ring and break all your heroes and become the NEW International Champion.
King chuckles as his theme hits. He heads to the back with Jürgen and Stefano walking right behind him as the main event can finally begin with no interruptions.
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. As “Trollz” by Laco plays, 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.

The Fay Noire looks very focused tonight. She’s been chasing Matsuda to get her title back for nearly a whole year Caleb! Since her loss at last year’s War of Attrition, Jonae has been haunted by Matsuda’s success. She has a chance to spoil Stephanie’s goal to eclipse 365 days.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Shogun was Renee’s test to see if she’s ready to stand face-to-face with The Queen of Fighters. If anything, she’s proven that she’s on Matsuda’s level, but only Stephanie can know for sure.
“Oh La La” by Run the Jewels plays as Stephanie "Cloud" Matsuda walks out dressed in her signature black fitted cap and a bandanna around her face. Matsuda walks on stage and crouches low, getting ready for her match. Stephanie walks down the ramp, their eyes fixated on the ring. At the bottom of the ramp, Matsuda runs and slides into the ring. She takes a moment to run the ropes and throws her hat into the crowd. She then climbs the nearest turnbuckle, pulls down her bandanna, as she stares into the crowd. She then jumps down and prepares for her match, handing the ref her Women’s World Championship.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
I’m feeling it Jacob. This match one is going to be a good one! I’m also thinking this could be Stephanie’s swan song as champion. The Shogun of WWH has learned from their previous encounters.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
That remains to be seen. Maybe her last two matches with Matsuda prepared her for Shogun, but this is Matsuda’s battleground we’re sitting in. Look how confident she is at this moment.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
The following match is your main event of the evening, scheduled for one fall and for the WWH Women’s World Championship! First, the challenger! Hailing from Miami, FL! Weighing in at 135 lbs! She is “The Fay Noire!” RENEE! JONAE!
Instead of waving to the fans, Renee keeps her eye on Stephanie who’s returning the glance with one of her own.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Her opponent! Fighting out of Brooklyn, NY! Weighing in at 132 lbs! She is world WWH Women’s World Champion…”The Queen of Fighters” STEPHANIE! “CLOUD!” MATSUDA!
Stephanie raises her arms and makes a finger gun gesture at Renee.
The ref called for the bell, but neither competitor paid it any mind. Their gaze was focused on each other. The two met in the center of the ring and had an exchange of words that couldn’t be picked up. Both women seemed focused on one another as they sized each other up. Jonae said something in Creole that made Matsuda smile and the two started exchanging blows. The crowd exploded as neither woman was willing to let up. Stephanie whipped Renee to the ropes and caught her with an arm drag. Renee landed on her feet and countered with an arm drag of her own. Matsuda landed on her feet as well but was whipped to the ropes by Jonae. Renee drops down, forcing Cloud to jump over her on the rebound. As Stephanie bounced back both women went for simultaneous dropkicks, catching nothing but air. The audience applaud the competitors for how familiar they are with one another. Stephanie took a few steps back, offering Renee some place to adjust herself.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
The Women’s World Champion showing a bit of mutual respect to the former champ. These two know each other so well at this point.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Honestly I think it’s kind of unwise for Matsuda to give Renee that much breathing room
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
She knows she can’t rush in there when it comes to Cloud. There’s a reason why Matsuda is a multime world champion.
Matsuda initiated a collar-and-elbow tie up. Renee gets pulled into a wristlock by Matsuda followed by a roundhouse kick to the side of the head, followed by a Pele kick. Jonae was knocked down to a knee. Matsuda hit a shotgun dropkick to the chest that sent her flying into a corner. The audience pops as Matsuda follows through with a Cannonball Senton. Jonae was dragged out of the corner and brought down with delayed vertical suplex!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Cloud is taking her time picking her opponent apart. She usually employs a faster style
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Matsuda’s game plan has switched up tonight. She knows to expect anything at this point.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
What makes you say that?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
When push comes to shove Stephanie Matsuda has no problems switching up the tempo when she needs to. Don’t be fooled by her flashy move set - there’s depth to her arsenal.
The moment Jonae sat up, Matsuda kicked her in the spine. This only invigorated Renee who stood up after absorbing the impact. Filled with fighting spirit, Renee wails on Matsuda with a flurry of forearm shots and whips her into the ropes. Cloud goes for a Last Surprise sling blade, but Renee spins with the momentum and reverses it into a flapjack!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Holy cow! I had never seen a counter like that before! Renee is pulling out all stops to stay in this match!
The Queen Of Fighters was struggling to breath, holding her head. She staggered to the middle of the ring but was taken down by a lariat! The force of Renee’s blow was more powerful than expected. Stephanie with the mat with a thud, feeling like she was knocked down by a freight train.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Surprising display of power by the versatile and athletic Renee Jone!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Hell, even Matsuda wasn’t expecting that! She’s wondering what just happened!
Renee switched her tactics to the ground as she applied a modified surfboard stretch. Matsuda’s limbs were stretched to their breaking point. The ref checked on the champ, but Stephanie refused to give up. Eventually, Renne was forced to let go to conserve energy, but Matsuda was weakened from the submission maneuver. As Renee picked her up, Matsuda came alive with a throat thrust to Jonae and then took off towards the ropes. Joane recovered and chased Cloud, hitting her with a running knee against the ropes. She hits a snap suplex and climbs out to the apron. Measuring The QOF, Renee jumped off the ropes for a gorgeous springboard forearm, connecting with Cloud’s face upon impact!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
There’s that highflying gusto we’ve come to know from The Fay Noire! She’s beating Matsuda at her own game!
Stephanie was stunned by Renee’s version of her Final Heaven. Renee worked her over with a couple of grounded working holds before bringing her back to her feet. She whipped Cloud to her ropes and caught her with a jumping leg lariat. Matsuda seemed unfocused by Renee’s pacing. It was a style similar to the champ’s but at a steady pace. Renee picks up Stepahnie and whips her to the ropes. A corner dropkick forced Stephanie into a seated position. Renee wasted no time rocking Matsuda’s head against the turnbuckle with a Bronco Buster! The crowd was on Renee’s side as she grabbed Matsuda and placed her in the Tree of Woe position.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
The Jaqqum Tree! Stephanie is caught up in the rapture! If she doesn’t escape, this could very well be the end!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Renee has been focused for this entire encounter. She lost twice against her rival - she definitely doesn’t want to lose again.
Jonae fired several knees into the stomach of Matsuda. Keeping her in The Jaqqum Tree, Renee climbed out to the apron and slingshots herself over the ropes to nail Stephanie with a dropkick to the face with pinpoint accuracy! Despite the impact, Matsuda remained upside down, stunned. Renee started playing to the crowd as she backed up to the opposite corner of the ring. Pointing at Stephanie, she bolted forward for a running dropkick, but Matsuda snaps out of it and pulled herself up just in time as Renee crashed and burned between the turnbuckles!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
A brief reprieve for Stephanie Matsuda! She just avoided the dropkick just in time! Renee’s trapped between the turnbuckles!
Stephanie looks downward behind her and notices Renee is trapped below her. Matsuda turns herself around and perches herself atop. With a wicked sneer, she leaps off and nails Jonae with a double stomp to the chest! The force knocks Jonae from between the turnbuckles which was perfect for Stephanie as she jumps to the top turnbuckle and flies off with a gorgeous corkscrew moonsault! She lands on top of Renee and lifts her leg for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Renee has a foot on the bottom rope! And just like that Matsuda has turned the tide in this match! Jonae finds herself in trouble!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
When Stephanie is in champion mode, she doesn’t let up. Even when she’s cornered, she’s not afraid to fight her way out. That stomp was as smart as it was vicious.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
A few more of those and Renee could lose to her for a third time.
The momentum was back in Matsuda’s favor as she picked up Renee and went for an Irish whip but Jonae reversed her momentum with an arm wrench! A defiant Renee started wearing her down with elbows on the arm and shoulder. Matsuda finds a way to reverse with a judo throw, slamming Renee onto her back. Jonae had control of Matsuda’s wrist during the reversal and counters with Lady of the Lake, bringing Matsuda down to the mat and locking in the armbar!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Amazing counter from the challenger! This could be it!
Once again the referee was in Matsuda’s face, asking her if she wanted to give up. The glare that she shot at the referee told you everything that you needed to know. But Jonae had the hold locked in tight and for a fleeting moment it looked like Cloud was going to submit but she rolls through and flips to her feet, reversing with a hammer lock. After a brief struggle, Stephanie transitions to a sleeper hold! The crowd starts to go wild as they anticipate what’s about to happen next! Matsuda goes for the Blasian Suplex, but Renee pushes her feet off the middle rope and uses the momentum to flip over Stephanie! Before Matsuda could turn around Renee hops on her shoulders for a reverse hurricanrana - Matsuda flips out of it and lands on her feet! Renee turns around- Yahtzee!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Renee ATE that superkick! Matsuda’s going for the cover!

Kickout! Renee Jonae has been on another level throughout 2020! The Shogun of Dystopia is showing The Queen of Fighters that she will not go quietly into the good night!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
What a match so far. What is it going to take?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
This thing is going the distance. I can see it.
Renee is on her back, breathing heavily as she just barely, barely kicked out. Matsuda couldn’t believe it. It’s a struggle for both women to get to their feet. Both champion and challenger press their foreheads against each other as they engage in an intense stare off. Jonae said something in Japanese to Matsuda who explodes in anger as she starts lighting up Renee with a forearm blitz! Renee returns the favor with an onslaught of her own! Jonae hits the ropes and lays Matsuda out with a lariat. She finds the nearest corner and starts stomping her feet. The crowd knows what the challenger’s up to.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
She’s preparing her version of The Spear - The Rakurai! It’s going to be all over for Matsuda if she hits it!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Wait who’s that in the front audience!? Someone’s shouting Stephanie’s name repeatedly. Wait! That’s Serenity! Serenity Scorpio is in the front audience cheering on Matsuda! She hasn't been seen since Shogun! Cloud doesn’t seem to notice!
Stephanie stumbles forward as Renee goes for the Spear. Matsuda flips over Renee, bounces off the ropes and hits a well-timed Last Surprise! Feeling reinvigorated, Stephanie climbs up the nearest turnbuckle. She prepares to deliver the Cloud 9 Corkscrew Shooting Star Press when she finally notices Serenity cheering her on. Matsuda looks puzzled by what she sees, but before she realizes it, Renee is back on her feet and desperately flies towards her with a forearm to the face! Wasting no time, Renee grabs Matsuda in a facelock from the elevated position and hits Black Girl Magic! The champion’s head spiked onto the canvas as Jonae wraps her legs around Stephanie’s body for the guillotine choke. Stephanie tries to struggle, but she's too stunned to do much. The ref checks in on her, but The Queen of Fighters refuses to tap. Jonae rolls along the mat with Stephanie and eventually they end up closer to the center of the ring. As the audience get to their feet in anticipation, the ref checks on Stephanie several more times as her body goes limp. After raising her arm and watching it drop several times, the ref calls for the bell!
RING ANNOUNCER | SONYA RAYLEE
Here is your winner, and NEW WWH Women’s World Champion, RENEE JONAE!
“Trollz" by Laco begins playing as the referee collects the Women’s World Championship from a ring crew member. Jonae is up on her knees, her eyes wide with surprise. The referee approaches the new champion and hands her the championship. Renee takes the title and then gazes into the faceplate for a moment before cradling the title in her arms. Serenity is seen climbing over the barrier to check on Stephanie.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Hell of a match! I thought The Queen of Fighters had this in the bag, but Renee has capitalized on Stephanie being distracted by Serenity!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Jonae was smart to take advantage and now she has her title back! I have to be honest - it’s a little odd that Serenity Scorpio has shown up at the exact time Stephanie was going to win the match. I mean she wasn’t seen in weeks. Not even her family knew where she was!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Well right now Serenity has slid into the ring and is checking on Matsuda. Even Renee has taken a step back to give the now former champion some space to get herself together. You can see the respect in Renee’s eyes as she’s looking down at Stephanie.
Serenity helps Matsuda come to, who was still disoriented from the submission. Renee drops her title and takes Stephanie’s other arm as both women made sure Cloud was on her feet. As Renee holds Stephanie, Serenity takes a couple of steps back and-

Serenity stares down at both women with a wild look in her eyes. She seems to bask in the booing of the audience as she stands between both women. After admiring her handiwork, Serenity rolls out of the ring and climbs back into the crowd as officials and medical staff come down the ramp.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
W-what did we just witness!? Why would Serenity do such a thing!? Matsuda is the last student of her late father! She’s her mentor! They’re like family!

Giving nods and slapping a few fans’ hands on the way down, Josh climbs up onto the ring apron and gives the barest hint of a malicious smile before climbing through the ropes. He retreats to his corner, hands on the ropes.
The referee calls for the bell and the two men circle one another, Kaine faints in only to see what the reaction from Carnes might be. Carnes steps back but quickly resets back. Kaine then decides to go in for the lock up. It’s a stalemate for a moment before Kaine gets the upper hand pushing his foe back into the corner. As Hanari’s back touches the corner, he twists and turns reversing position.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
These two are in a big spot tonight.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
They are, and Carnes gets the upper hand on a reverse. His size advantage revealing itself with that.
The referee is now asking for a break. Both quickly break the tie up. Carnes walks back giving Kaine space. Josh steps out and is grabbed by Hanari, Kaine is sent into the opposite corner. Kaine stops himself, looking back to see if Carnes is coming in for a big splash type move. Carnes isn’t however. Kaine turns and bursts after his foe, surprising him. Kaine does a big power double leg takedown on Carnes. A spear. Kaine rolls off Hanari and stands. Josh proceeds to punish his foe with stomps, then a quick knee drop to Carnes’ chest. Carnes rolls under the bottom rope holding his chest. Kaine tries to pursue but is stopped by the referee.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Kaine getting the upper hand there.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Only for a second though. Carnes being smart here.
Kaine backs away as the referee makes sure Carnes is able to continue the match. He is and is already getting to his feet inside the ring. Kaine wants to go on the attack. He waits patiently and then springs into action. Carnes quickly jumps over Kaine who bounces off the ropes, upon his return is met with a big back elbow. Kaine splays out on the mat at Carnes’ feet and he does a quick elbow drop and covers Kaine. The referee quickly gets in position.
ONE…
TWO..
NOPE!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Too soon for that.
Carnes gets to his feet while bringing Kaine with him. Shoving Kaine into the near side ropes, Carnes awaits Kaine’s return, upon it he executes a spinebuster sending Kaine hard down on the mat.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Carnes showing his power there. Seemingly in full control now.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Don’t count out Kaine just yet though. He can rally back at any minute.
Hanari again bringing his foe to a standing position and hooks him in a suplex style position. Snapping Kaine over, Carnes executes a snap suplex. Kaine holding his back in pain, Hanari steps up upon the middle rope and jumps down going for an elbow drop. Kaine rolls out of the way just in the nick of time. Kaine stays down however. Carnes kneels after connecting with just the mat instead of his opponent. Carnes shakes out his right arm as he stands and stalks Kaine who is barely making it to his feet. As Hanari gets near enough, Kaine throws a quick shoulder into the sternum of Harnari, it only backs him up a step. Kaine pursues and throws a punch. Carnes takes another retreating step. Josh throws a stiff elbow across Carnes’ jaw, another retreating step. Kaine runs back then forward, launching himself into the air at Hanari for a cross body but he is caught and thrown down to the mat. Josh writhes in pain.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Well that didn’t quite go as planned.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Yes sir. Kaine was starting to come back some there, but was stopped in his tracks. Oh Hanari going for another cover.
Referee slides down and begins to count.
ONE…
TWO…

NOPE!!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Another kick out by Josh. Carnes still in control here.
Carnes again rises to his feet, dragging Josh with him. Lifting Kaine up, and dropping down with an atomic drop and follows up with a quick step lariat sending Josh back down to the mat hard. Hanari steps around his fallen foe who is holding his back. Kaine though rolls to the ropes and reaches up for the middle rope, getting to his feet. Hanari stalking him now. Kaine reaches his feet in the corner. Hanari seeing his opportunity runs at Josh who seems to be almost out of it.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
What is going to happen here? Hanari Carnes seems to have Kaine in the right position.
Carnes runs in and lifts his left leg as though going for his patented super step up enzuigiri. But somehow Kaine grabs the foot and does a modified dragon style arm drag, but using Hanari’s leg.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Josh with a quick maneuver reversing his fortune now. Can he capitalize.
It seems as though that leg drag move tweaked Carnes’ knee, he holds it while screaming out in pain. This gives Josh some time and space to recover and possibly turn the tide of this match. Kaine kips up to his feet and sees that Hanari is holding his left knee. Kaine takes advantage and begins to focus on it. Quick kicks to it causing Carnes to call out in even more pain. After one of the kicks to the injured knee, Hanari sits up reaching for his knee. Kaine cleverly throws a knee into Hanari’s face getting a big pop from the crowd.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Kaine taking advantage now, slamming his knee into Hanari’s face there. Now he is climbing to the top.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Going to be a massive reward or a horrible decision here.
Josh reaches the top rope as Carnes lays in the center of the ring. Kaine launches into the air and hits nothing but mat. Hanari rolls out of the way toward the corner where Josh launched from. Hanari gets to his feet with the help of the ropes, stretching out his left leg, trying to get rid of that knee pain. Kaine is getting to his feet. Hanari sees this and tries to storm after his opponent, but his knee gives way.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Well like I said, bad decision but that knee ain’t doing so well for Hanari here.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Yeah and Kaine can take full advantage now. Oh wait.
Just as Kaine tries to grab Hanari to bring him to a standing position, Carnes grabs Kaine’s right arm, twists and rolls right into his cross arm breaker submission, right in the middle of the ring.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
He’s got it. Hanari has his Viva La Republic! Submission locked in. Kaine has nowhere to go.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
This is it here Steele. That’s all she wrote.
Suddenly the crowd erupts for some reason.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
What is she doing out here.
The view switches to the stage and standing there is none other than Nikki Caldwell. Doing nothing, just standing there. Hanari reacts to the crowd wondering what might be happening. Maybe he won he thinks so he releases the hold throwing his hands in the air as though in victory. But stops seeing Nikki on the stage. He starts yelling in her direction for no apparent reason except she is taking his shine.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Watch out, Hanari.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
He is not using his mind here. He had this match won. Kaine is getting up already.
Josh runs up behind Carnes and hooks up a full nelson and rolls backwards putting them in the center of the ring and Josh locks his ankles around Hanari’s body, squeezing with all his might. Carnes cries out in pain. But screaming no. He won’t give up. Josh tightens his full nelson holding Hanari in place. Still crying out no. He won’t give in.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Hanari not giving up here, this is crazy.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Might be better for him to live to fight another day here. That is tight Steele.
Kaine decides to hold the full nelson in place, releasing the body scissors, placing Hanari’s shoulders to the mat and the ref already in position. Carnes trying to breathe doesn’t realize what is happening until it’s too late.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!

AND YOUR WINNER VIA PINFALL…. THE HUNTER, JOOOOOOSHHHH KAAAAAIINNNEE!!
WINNER VIA PINFALL: JOSH KAINE
The lights dim, as a lions roar is heard, Vincent Lyons Jr appears on the stage in a black jacket as "Wretched and Divine" by Black Veil Brides starts, flanked by his sister Victoria Cadney Lyons, he falls to his knees, and spreads his arms out, taking in the reaction from the fans, as his sister poses behind him, both head down the ramp to the ring, wearing friendly smiles, as Vincent does his arms out pose once more on the ring apron, before entering through the middle rope, and posing mid ring, with his sister as they did on the stage.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for one fall! And it is for the WWH Affliction Championship! It will be contested under No Disqualification Rules! Introducing first, the challenger! He hails from Syrene, California! Weighing in at two hundred twenty five pounds, he is “The Young Lion” Vincent Lyons Jr!!!!
The lights go out in the arena as the crowd waits in anticipation for the arrival of the Nightmare King. A red spotlight appears near the curtains as smoke engulfs the entire stage. “Delusions of Savior” by Slayer hits the PA System as men and women donning face paint crawl out of the smoke and surround the stage for the arrival of ‘their savior’. “Repentless” by Slayer kicks in with strobing red lights, as Jada Blaire steps out of the smoke with a menacing grin followed by the stone faced Havoc 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, and the strobing red lights lighting their path. He places the bat at ringside before climbing up to the top turnbuckle and embraces the negative crowd reaction with a smirk on his face.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
And his opponent! Representing the Ashes of the Wake! Weighing in at two hundred fourteen pounds. He is the WWH Affliction Champion! “The Harbinger of Reality” “The Nightmare King” HAVOC!!!!
DING DING DING!
It appears as if the two competitors will meet in the middle of the ring for a staredown to get things started. However, Havoc has other ideas. He runs up to his awaiting challenger and blasts The Young Lyon with a running front dropkick that sends Vincent into the corner! Although he’s taken off his feet and shotgunned into the corner, Lyons catches himself on the ropes to stop himself from completely falling down. Havoc is relentless. He immediately follows up with a sick kick straight to the jaw of VLJ, who finally crumbles to the mat but his ring presence ensures he is still straddled with the bottom rope. Havoc gets right on his man, and to the shock of everyone in attendance he begins BITING Vincent Lyons at his ear! The referee doesn’t even bother with a traditional 5 count. This blatant disregard for the rules forces the official to intervene and wrench the Affliction Champion away from his victim. The crowd in attendance showers the leader of the Ashes of the Wake with boos for his poor sportsmanship.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Now wait just a minute! This match is explicitly no disqualification! The referee has no business pulling Havoc off of his opponent! Really makes you consider what Havoc says is true, that this company has something against him!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Oh come on, Jake. Don’t tell me for one second you’re buying that Jim Jones drivel from Havoc! Besides, No DQ or otherwise, blatantly attempting to injure your opponent is different than trying to win the match. No DQ doesn’t give you carte blanche to break a guys leg, for instance.
Vincent Lyons is checked on by the referee. Who ascertains that he is ok to continue going despite the initial shock of the relentless attack by Havoc. The Affliction Champion waits for the referee to clear out and lets out a guttural roar as he stomps on the midsection of Vincent. But the leader of the Pryde is incensed by this and actually begins fighting back! The challenger peppers off several shots to the solar plexus of the champion, the crowd begins to rise in anticipation, but Havoc cuts him off with a knee to the gut, sending Lyons to the mat once more. Havoc runs against the ropes as Lyons continues to rise to his feet in deviance, and destroys his opponent with the Climax double knees facebreaker! Lyons falls into a heap, as the champion goes for a cover.
ONE….
TWO…
T-KICKOUT BY VLJ!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
My God Havoc is just in too strong of a position here. You can see Lyons is trying to fight out of his predicament, but Havoc is out to send a message.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
He lost the World Title, his pride and joy. The Affliction Title is all he’s got left! Can you imagine if we had to deal with Havoc empty handed?
Havoc begins stalking his prey like a wild animal. Fully in control of this match up to this point, he looks to maintain that foothold as he positions his knee for a charging Dead Trigger to put away his opponent in short order. He goes for the money, but he finds that Vincent Lyon’s Jr. has already emptied the metaphorical register, as he shoulder rolls under the Dead Trigger, bounces off the ropes for added momentum. Havoc doesn’t even have time to respond before he’s caught by a lightning quick head scissors takedown!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Whoa-ho! Vincent Lyons Jr. at the last minute with a helluva head scissors takedown!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Havoc is not going to be happy about that one, Caleb. Vince better come up with a plan quick!
The momentum of the move causes Havoc to rise back to his feet almost immediately, although certainly woozy from the revolutions supplied by the leader of the Lyon’s Pride. Vincent sees this as his opportunity as he should, bouncing off the ropes on the south side now, catching the Affliction Champion from another angle this time with a sling blade! STILL Havoc returns to his feet in quick fashion, as Vincent doesn’t let up either. He goes to the ropes one more time, intending for a running leaping clothesline, but Havoc counters out of instinct with a spinning spinebuster! The wind is knocked out of the challenger as he’s crushed to the mat! He goes for another cover on Lyons!
ONE….
TWO….
THR-ANOTHER KICKOUT BY VINCENT LYONS JR!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Well ahh, so much for coming up with a plan eh Caleb?
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
That spinebuster is a dangerous setback for the challenger. But just look at the heart and determination in the eyes of VLJ! He refuses to give in!
Havoc slams his hand to the mat. Anger and hatred burning in his eyes as he looks down at the recovering rival and perpetual thorn in the side of his Ashes of the Wake. The instability and emotions of the Affliction Champion are bubbling over to the point of entropy running rampant over his actions. He starts viciously attacking Vincent Lyons with animalistic punches, double ax handles and once to a risen position, stomps all across the body of his challenger until he stops squirming so much. Havoc then slides under the ropes, grabbing a mat classic steel chair from ringside and snaps it shut. He comes back into the ring as quickly as he left it, and DEVASTATES Vincent Lyons Jr. with a wicked steel chair shot across the back!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Look I know this is NO DQ, I get that. But Havoc has become a rabid animal! Somebodies gotta stop this. It’s going to get out of hand very VERY quickly!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Awww relax Caleb! You’re a former street fighter yourself! Where’s your sense of bloodlust! Although to be honest, I’m just hoping Havoc doesn’t bring that chair to bear on us!
The Affliction Champion, now seemingly calmed momentarily from his temper tantrum, looks over the aching Young Lyon writhing around on the mat and for the first time, cracks a wicked smile. He drops the weapon, grasps his opponent by an arm and forcibly pulls him to his feet. Havoc rocks the challenger with a Discus Elbow Smash, but Vincent doesn’t leave his feet! Instead, he returns Havoc’s previous looks of intensity and purpose, screaming out a warcry of his own as he counters the champion with his Discus Back Elbow! Havoc spits at the ground and roars at Vincent, tired of his defiance. Havoc goes for his own Discus Lariat, but Lyons anticipates the move. VLJ ducks under the arm of the champion, positions himself on the apron outside. We can see Vincent is holding his lower back in pain, still recovering from the steel chair shot from earlier. While Havoc is boiling over with rage as he marches towards Lyons, his rage blinding him from the telegraphed apron kick that stuns the champ! Vince Lyon’s slingshots from the apron back into the ring, blasting Havoc with a bulldog! Lyons again winces from his lower back, but still is going for his first fall of the match!

TH-KICKOUT BY HAVOC!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
My God, the fight in this kid is incredible! He is taking everything Havoc can dish out, and he keeps asking for more!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
The Champ’s gonna have to be REAL tactical at this point! We’re getting to a point of no return. The longer this match goes, the more VLJ is feeding off these fans, and goes from strength to strength! Havoc’s in trouble!
The challenger doesn’t let up from his advantage. Or at least, he doesn’t intend to. As he scurries across the ring and runs off the ropes, he looks to connect with a running knee based shining wizard to the rising champion, and he connects! Havoc flops back down to the mat, dazed and confused at this recent flurry of offense when he had some much control beforehand. Vincent looks to the crowd and pumps his fist in the air. He feels that his time has come now to put down Havoc once and for all. VLJ heads to the upper right turnbuckle that happens to be closest to the Affliction Champions prone body, and we all know what he’s going for now! Vincent ascends the ropes the Flyin’ Lyon! 630 Senton for the win!-BUT NO! The Ashes of the Wake leader gets two knees up to intercept Lyons, as his spine contorts in every manner of unintentional ways from the impact of the countered assault.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Jesus the damage to the lower back of Vincent has been absolutely DELIBERATE. From the chair, to now this crucial counter. I have to argue the point Jake, I think it’s just a matter of time before Havoc wears down the challenger and retains his title.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Look I’m not saying smart money isn’t on Havoc tonight. Not with everything on the line. But if he’s gonna put Vince away, he needs to do it NOW.
Vincent Lyons Jr squirms on the mat in excruciating pain. While Havoc simply looks at his opponent with disgust and aggravation. The champion takes his opportunity. He grabs ahold of his rival and wastes no further time DESTROYING VLJ with a wicked and vicious Giga Drill Break Brainbuster! The crowd gasps and boos simultaneously. Conditioned all too well to know this is the end for their hero.
ONE….
TWO…
THRE----NO! VLJ KICKS OUT! THE LYON’S PRIDE KICKS OUT!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
OH MY CHRIST! VLJ WILL NOT BE DENIED! NO MATTER THE MOVE. NO MATTER THE DAMAGE HE SUSTAINS. LYONS WILL. NOT. QUIT!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
This display of heart and spirit is simply awe inspiring. But it’s a bitter-sweet feeling, Foster. I mean, the kid just took a Giga Drill Break! He’s done for. There’s no way.
Havoc howls like a dying mandrill into the heavens and wildly grabs the face and head of his opponent. He shakes VLJ violently on the mat as he screams “Why won’t you just die?!?!?!” before standing backup and whips his head from side to side like a diseased animal thrashing about for an answer. Havoc bobs up and down looking to try once again to go for the Dead Trigger. It may not have worked the first time around, but this time surely VLJ doesn’t have enough left in the tank to roll out of the way of this one. He awaits the wobbly challenger as Lyons tries his best to rise from the impact of that Giga Drill Break. Havoc can’t wait any longer. He doesn’t give Vincent the courtesy of a full rise to his feet. The champion charges like an apex predator catching up to its next meal, and the Dead Trigger connects! But not with Vincent Lyons Jr, oh no! Havoc slams the Dead Trigger Knee strike straight into the corner turnbuckle, as Lyons dodged at the last possible moment with a pivot and ballet inspired revolution to place him behind the champion!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
This is it! This is his moment, Jake! He’s just gotta dig down deep and finish it off! He’s gotta beat Havoc!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
So much for that impartiality eh my friend? But I agree, it’s now or never. If VLJ can’t beat Havoc now, I can’t imagine his body is going to hold out much longer!
Havoc’s knee is virtually crushed on collision with the turnbuckle. VLJ rolls under the bottom rope right near where Havoc leaves his trusty barbed wire baseball bat. Although Vincent may be wasting time going for this exclamation point, he takes the risk. Havoc attends to hobble out of the turnbuckle corner, just in time to see Lyons come back into the ring. The champion can only do so much as lift his hand over his face as VLJ BLASTS havoc in the face with the bat! He’s down! Much to the shock of everyone, Havoc still seems rather lucid on the mat even after eating such a brutal strike! Enough so that he is still holding onto his injured knee, letting go and grasping it again. The champions head shifts up and down as his grip changes on the leg, clearly falling in and out of consciousness from the move in conjunction with the breaking of his own mind. Vincent climbs the turnbuckles once more to deliver his own Flyin’ Lyon trademark move for the second time. VLJ hopes to have better luck than Havoc on executing their well scouted signatures together, and he does! Havoc’s injured ligament prevents him from countering in the same fashion as before, or even properly moving away, as another devastating 630 splash comes crashing down on the champion! The wind is out of his sails! Lyons is going for the cover!

COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
LYONS DID IT! LYONS DID IT! WE HAVE A NEW AFFLICTION CHAMPION! The dark cloud emanating from the Ashes of the Wake has lifted itself off of WWH and it’s championships, as Vincent Lyons completed the mission he was set out to do, and that was stop Havoc once and for all! It took everything! A tremendous beating! Using Havoc’s OWN WEAPON against him! The Flyin’ Lyon seals the deal. NEW CHAMPION!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Un-fucking-believable. Havoc has ruled the roost for over a year. Ever since winning the Shogun of 2019. He’s been unstoppable. That is until Zolton, until Vincent Lyons Jr. Until enough pieces of the puzzle came together to dethrone the double champion. Enjoy this victory while you can, Lyons. Havoc is not going to stay laying down for long. And he’ll be back, with a vengeance.
WINNER AND NEW AFFLICTION CHAMPION: VINCENT LYONS JR.
As fans in attendance and at how were getting both excited and pumped for the main event match for the WWH Women's title between Stephanie Matsuda and Renee Jonae. Just as everything seemed to be ready for the main event.....
"Better Than You" hits the PA system as The King of Australia and The Greatest Wrestler of the Modern Era, Nicholas King steps out from the entrance as he's flanked by his bodyguard Jürgen and his personal ring announcer Stefano. He gives the booing crowd a smug grin as he flips them off as Jürgen hands him a Mic.
THE KING OF AUSTRALIA | NICHOLAS KING
Ladies and gentlemen, hold your applause and just bask in the glory that is the greatest wrestler of the modern era, Nicholas King. I gotta ask though...did you miss me Dystopia? Did yah? Well this is how much i missed you all
He proceeds to flip the middle finger at the crowd, causing them to boo him more. King takes it all in as his smile just grows from enjoying the reaction he was getting out of the fans.
THE KING OF AUSTRALIA | NICHOLAS KING
Now, I would first like to address something...important, something that has irritated me since I left Dystopia for a bit. That irritation is Travis Levitt, the guy who entered the Shogun tournament. I was going to enter myself into the tournament and show all these so-called "Top Stars" of Dystopia what a REAL Top Star looks like. However, I get told that all the slots for Dystopia are full....so I said I'll just hop over to that crummy place called Sanatorium then. Then when I ask to represent my proud home country of Australia, I'm told that someone is already representing it.
King pacing a little bit on the entrance ramp as he scratches his head a bit in irritation at being denied the chance to represent his home country because of one person.
THE KING OF AUSTRALIA | NICHOLAS KING
To make matters worse, i had to watch from home of said person getting his ass beat repeatedly throughout the tournament to the point where he had zero points...ZERO FUCKING POINTS!!! Do you know how frustrating it is to see some loser represent your home country and only to watch them humiliate it by constantly losing! I even had the freaking Queen of Australia call my number, because of course I hang out with some high class people who are wealthier than you poor fools.
The crowd soon began chanting "Fuck you King" while clapping. King rolled his eyes at them as he continued.
THE KING OF AUSTRALIA | NICHOLAS KING
Anyway, the Queen of Australia called me and asked: 'Nicholas, why did they allow this low life to represent Australia?' I told her: 'I don't know ma'am, he's probably just a charity case.' But let's forget about what's his face and focus on something even more important....championship gold.
I said that i would go straight after the world title and i still will, but maybe and i do mean MAYBE, i should take some...baby steps. Starting with taking the International Championship from....chuckles...sorry ladies and gentlemen, I sorta forgot who the champion was since aren't relevant in my opinion, which of course is a fact. For now, I'll let you all enjoy your little main event. I can't wait to get back in the ring and break all your heroes and become the NEW International Champion.
King chuckles as his theme hits. He heads to the back with Jürgen and Stefano walking right behind him as the main event can finally begin with no interruptions.
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. As “Trollz” by Laco plays, 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.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
The Fay Noire looks very focused tonight. She’s been chasing Matsuda to get her title back for nearly a whole year Caleb! Since her loss at last year’s War of Attrition, Jonae has been haunted by Matsuda’s success. She has a chance to spoil Stephanie’s goal to eclipse 365 days.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Shogun was Renee’s test to see if she’s ready to stand face-to-face with The Queen of Fighters. If anything, she’s proven that she’s on Matsuda’s level, but only Stephanie can know for sure.
“Oh La La” by Run the Jewels plays as Stephanie "Cloud" Matsuda walks out dressed in her signature black fitted cap and a bandanna around her face. Matsuda walks on stage and crouches low, getting ready for her match. Stephanie walks down the ramp, their eyes fixated on the ring. At the bottom of the ramp, Matsuda runs and slides into the ring. She takes a moment to run the ropes and throws her hat into the crowd. She then climbs the nearest turnbuckle, pulls down her bandanna, as she stares into the crowd. She then jumps down and prepares for her match, handing the ref her Women’s World Championship.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
I’m feeling it Jacob. This match one is going to be a good one! I’m also thinking this could be Stephanie’s swan song as champion. The Shogun of WWH has learned from their previous encounters.
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
That remains to be seen. Maybe her last two matches with Matsuda prepared her for Shogun, but this is Matsuda’s battleground we’re sitting in. Look how confident she is at this moment.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
The following match is your main event of the evening, scheduled for one fall and for the WWH Women’s World Championship! First, the challenger! Hailing from Miami, FL! Weighing in at 135 lbs! She is “The Fay Noire!” RENEE! JONAE!
Instead of waving to the fans, Renee keeps her eye on Stephanie who’s returning the glance with one of her own.
RING ANNOUNCER | SONA RAYLEE
Her opponent! Fighting out of Brooklyn, NY! Weighing in at 132 lbs! She is world WWH Women’s World Champion…”The Queen of Fighters” STEPHANIE! “CLOUD!” MATSUDA!
Stephanie raises her arms and makes a finger gun gesture at Renee.
The ref called for the bell, but neither competitor paid it any mind. Their gaze was focused on each other. The two met in the center of the ring and had an exchange of words that couldn’t be picked up. Both women seemed focused on one another as they sized each other up. Jonae said something in Creole that made Matsuda smile and the two started exchanging blows. The crowd exploded as neither woman was willing to let up. Stephanie whipped Renee to the ropes and caught her with an arm drag. Renee landed on her feet and countered with an arm drag of her own. Matsuda landed on her feet as well but was whipped to the ropes by Jonae. Renee drops down, forcing Cloud to jump over her on the rebound. As Stephanie bounced back both women went for simultaneous dropkicks, catching nothing but air. The audience applaud the competitors for how familiar they are with one another. Stephanie took a few steps back, offering Renee some place to adjust herself.

The Women’s World Champion showing a bit of mutual respect to the former champ. These two know each other so well at this point.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Honestly I think it’s kind of unwise for Matsuda to give Renee that much breathing room
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
She knows she can’t rush in there when it comes to Cloud. There’s a reason why Matsuda is a multime world champion.
Matsuda initiated a collar-and-elbow tie up. Renee gets pulled into a wristlock by Matsuda followed by a roundhouse kick to the side of the head, followed by a Pele kick. Jonae was knocked down to a knee. Matsuda hit a shotgun dropkick to the chest that sent her flying into a corner. The audience pops as Matsuda follows through with a Cannonball Senton. Jonae was dragged out of the corner and brought down with delayed vertical suplex!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Cloud is taking her time picking her opponent apart. She usually employs a faster style
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Matsuda’s game plan has switched up tonight. She knows to expect anything at this point.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
What makes you say that?
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
When push comes to shove Stephanie Matsuda has no problems switching up the tempo when she needs to. Don’t be fooled by her flashy move set - there’s depth to her arsenal.
The moment Jonae sat up, Matsuda kicked her in the spine. This only invigorated Renee who stood up after absorbing the impact. Filled with fighting spirit, Renee wails on Matsuda with a flurry of forearm shots and whips her into the ropes. Cloud goes for a Last Surprise sling blade, but Renee spins with the momentum and reverses it into a flapjack!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Holy cow! I had never seen a counter like that before! Renee is pulling out all stops to stay in this match!
The Queen Of Fighters was struggling to breath, holding her head. She staggered to the middle of the ring but was taken down by a lariat! The force of Renee’s blow was more powerful than expected. Stephanie with the mat with a thud, feeling like she was knocked down by a freight train.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Surprising display of power by the versatile and athletic Renee Jone!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Hell, even Matsuda wasn’t expecting that! She’s wondering what just happened!
Renee switched her tactics to the ground as she applied a modified surfboard stretch. Matsuda’s limbs were stretched to their breaking point. The ref checked on the champ, but Stephanie refused to give up. Eventually, Renne was forced to let go to conserve energy, but Matsuda was weakened from the submission maneuver. As Renee picked her up, Matsuda came alive with a throat thrust to Jonae and then took off towards the ropes. Joane recovered and chased Cloud, hitting her with a running knee against the ropes. She hits a snap suplex and climbs out to the apron. Measuring The QOF, Renee jumped off the ropes for a gorgeous springboard forearm, connecting with Cloud’s face upon impact!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
There’s that highflying gusto we’ve come to know from The Fay Noire! She’s beating Matsuda at her own game!
Stephanie was stunned by Renee’s version of her Final Heaven. Renee worked her over with a couple of grounded working holds before bringing her back to her feet. She whipped Cloud to her ropes and caught her with a jumping leg lariat. Matsuda seemed unfocused by Renee’s pacing. It was a style similar to the champ’s but at a steady pace. Renee picks up Stepahnie and whips her to the ropes. A corner dropkick forced Stephanie into a seated position. Renee wasted no time rocking Matsuda’s head against the turnbuckle with a Bronco Buster! The crowd was on Renee’s side as she grabbed Matsuda and placed her in the Tree of Woe position.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
The Jaqqum Tree! Stephanie is caught up in the rapture! If she doesn’t escape, this could very well be the end!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Renee has been focused for this entire encounter. She lost twice against her rival - she definitely doesn’t want to lose again.
Jonae fired several knees into the stomach of Matsuda. Keeping her in The Jaqqum Tree, Renee climbed out to the apron and slingshots herself over the ropes to nail Stephanie with a dropkick to the face with pinpoint accuracy! Despite the impact, Matsuda remained upside down, stunned. Renee started playing to the crowd as she backed up to the opposite corner of the ring. Pointing at Stephanie, she bolted forward for a running dropkick, but Matsuda snaps out of it and pulled herself up just in time as Renee crashed and burned between the turnbuckles!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
A brief reprieve for Stephanie Matsuda! She just avoided the dropkick just in time! Renee’s trapped between the turnbuckles!
Stephanie looks downward behind her and notices Renee is trapped below her. Matsuda turns herself around and perches herself atop. With a wicked sneer, she leaps off and nails Jonae with a double stomp to the chest! The force knocks Jonae from between the turnbuckles which was perfect for Stephanie as she jumps to the top turnbuckle and flies off with a gorgeous corkscrew moonsault! She lands on top of Renee and lifts her leg for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
Renee has a foot on the bottom rope! And just like that Matsuda has turned the tide in this match! Jonae finds herself in trouble!

When Stephanie is in champion mode, she doesn’t let up. Even when she’s cornered, she’s not afraid to fight her way out. That stomp was as smart as it was vicious.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
A few more of those and Renee could lose to her for a third time.
The momentum was back in Matsuda’s favor as she picked up Renee and went for an Irish whip but Jonae reversed her momentum with an arm wrench! A defiant Renee started wearing her down with elbows on the arm and shoulder. Matsuda finds a way to reverse with a judo throw, slamming Renee onto her back. Jonae had control of Matsuda’s wrist during the reversal and counters with Lady of the Lake, bringing Matsuda down to the mat and locking in the armbar!
PLAY BY PLAY COMMENTATOR | JACOB STEELE
Amazing counter from the challenger! This could be it!
Once again the referee was in Matsuda’s face, asking her if she wanted to give up. The glare that she shot at the referee told you everything that you needed to know. But Jonae had the hold locked in tight and for a fleeting moment it looked like Cloud was going to submit but she rolls through and flips to her feet, reversing with a hammer lock. After a brief struggle, Stephanie transitions to a sleeper hold! The crowd starts to go wild as they anticipate what’s about to happen next! Matsuda goes for the Blasian Suplex, but Renee pushes her feet off the middle rope and uses the momentum to flip over Stephanie! Before Matsuda could turn around Renee hops on her shoulders for a reverse hurricanrana - Matsuda flips out of it and lands on her feet! Renee turns around- Yahtzee!

This thing is going the distance. I can see it.
Renee is on her back, breathing heavily as she just barely, barely kicked out. Matsuda couldn’t believe it. It’s a struggle for both women to get to their feet. Both champion and challenger press their foreheads against each other as they engage in an intense stare off. Jonae said something in Japanese to Matsuda who explodes in anger as she starts lighting up Renee with a forearm blitz! Renee returns the favor with an onslaught of her own! Jonae hits the ropes and lays Matsuda out with a lariat. She finds the nearest corner and starts stomping her feet. The crowd knows what the challenger’s up to.
COLOR COMMENTATOR | CALEB FOSTER
She’s preparing her version of The Spear - The Rakurai! It’s going to be all over for Matsuda if she hits it!

Wait who’s that in the front audience!? Someone’s shouting Stephanie’s name repeatedly. Wait! That’s Serenity! Serenity Scorpio is in the front audience cheering on Matsuda! She hasn't been seen since Shogun! Cloud doesn’t seem to notice!
Stephanie stumbles forward as Renee goes for the Spear. Matsuda flips over Renee, bounces off the ropes and hits a well-timed Last Surprise! Feeling reinvigorated, Stephanie climbs up the nearest turnbuckle. She prepares to deliver the Cloud 9 Corkscrew Shooting Star Press when she finally notices Serenity cheering her on. Matsuda looks puzzled by what she sees, but before she realizes it, Renee is back on her feet and desperately flies towards her with a forearm to the face! Wasting no time, Renee grabs Matsuda in a facelock from the elevated position and hits Black Girl Magic! The champion’s head spiked onto the canvas as Jonae wraps her legs around Stephanie’s body for the guillotine choke. Stephanie tries to struggle, but she's too stunned to do much. The ref checks in on her, but The Queen of Fighters refuses to tap. Jonae rolls along the mat with Stephanie and eventually they end up closer to the center of the ring. As the audience get to their feet in anticipation, the ref checks on Stephanie several more times as her body goes limp. After raising her arm and watching it drop several times, the ref calls for the bell!
RING ANNOUNCER | SONYA RAYLEE

“Trollz" by Laco begins playing as the referee collects the Women’s World Championship from a ring crew member. Jonae is up on her knees, her eyes wide with surprise. The referee approaches the new champion and hands her the championship. Renee takes the title and then gazes into the faceplate for a moment before cradling the title in her arms. Serenity is seen climbing over the barrier to check on Stephanie.

Hell of a match! I thought The Queen of Fighters had this in the bag, but Renee has capitalized on Stephanie being distracted by Serenity!

Jonae was smart to take advantage and now she has her title back! I have to be honest - it’s a little odd that Serenity Scorpio has shown up at the exact time Stephanie was going to win the match. I mean she wasn’t seen in weeks. Not even her family knew where she was!

Well right now Serenity has slid into the ring and is checking on Matsuda. Even Renee has taken a step back to give the now former champion some space to get herself together. You can see the respect in Renee’s eyes as she’s looking down at Stephanie.
Serenity helps Matsuda come to, who was still disoriented from the submission. Renee drops her title and takes Stephanie’s other arm as both women made sure Cloud was on her feet. As Renee holds Stephanie, Serenity takes a couple of steps back and-
