Outside of the Golden Lasso Casino

Rabid EBW fans surrounded the EBW Super Champion Takumi Inui, as he drove up to the front of the luxurious golden casino. Luckily, they were just rabid in terms of enthusiasm. With wrestling fans you can never tell, just like Smash fans. Takumi had the rare smile on his face, as he went to a street vendor to make a purchase before going into the arena. 

Good News Gary: Good News everyone! I'm here, I didn't get killed by Troy, and I'm with the EBW Super Champion! Takumi, you look quite pleased with yourself. What's the story? 

Takumi Inui: I just feel lighter, like a great burden has been taken off my shoulders, or at least, I don't have to deal with it alone. Besides, I'm the EBW Super Champion. I've been told that's the top honor in wrestling. Right after the E1 win? I'm going to take the moment to enjoy this. 

Good News Gary: Oh. I see. We figure you had a surprise up your sleeve! 

Takumi Inui: I didn't say I didn't. 

Good News Gary: Oh?

Takumi Inui: Well, it's not specifically my surprise, but I know something you don't. Things are going to get quite interesting tonight, according to information from...my circles. 

Good News Gary: Your circles? 

Takumi Inui: That's right. Let's just say it's going to be a fun night for Takumi Inui.

Takumi was handed the noodles from the vendor and smiled as he tried to eat them, but was suddenly stunned by the heat. 

Takumi Inui: Ah! It's....it's too hot. *blows* *blows* *blows* 

Good News Gary: Huh. Sensitive tongue I guess. 




Larry Grim: Welcome to Las Cartas! You thought The Strip was the only place to gamble? This is the self-proclaimed gambling center of the WORLD! A lot of degenerate gamblers lose their entire savings here, while families enjoy the water parks and buffets. It's truly a tourist trap...this is a terrible sell. 

Apple Kid: I put twenty bucks in a machine earlier. 

Larry Grim: How did you end up? 

Apple Kid: I have twenty dollars worth of quarters. 

Larry Grim: ...That was a change machine. 

Apple Kid: Ah. 

Larry Grim: We have a wild and crazy night for the Xciters and the drunked and depressed gamblers who have lost it all. Don't jump into traffic, watch our show instead! 

Apple Kid: I'm told you can gamble on our show with the help of Spurtsbook. 

Larry Grim: No, that's betting on porn. 

Apple Kid: How does that even work? Wait, how did you know that? 

Larry Grim: So tonight's show has a special theme. The matches are already booked, but each match will have a stipulation determined from the wheel of gimmicks! Spin the Wheel! Make the Deal! 

Apple Kid: I remember Mad Max. I never did quite get Beyond Thunderdome. 

Larry Grim: For example, we're starting the show off with a CXJ Championship match! The winner of the 2025 Super CXJ Cup will be taking on CXJ Champion Seto Kaiba. On the stage you can see the CXJ Legend and master of time and space, Rishin Fliger standing by to spin the wheel. Whatever he lands on, that's the match the two will have for the CXJ Championship! 

Apple Kid: What's it going to be? I hope blindfold match! 

Larry Grim: You hope for that?

Apple Kid: ...Am I the only one that likes blindfolds? 

Larry Grim: Looks like it's...LADDER MATCH!

Apple Kid: That's great too! 

Larry Grim: Java looks perked up about it! 

Apple Kid: He's percolating about it! 

Larry Grim: Kaiba doesn't look thrilled about it either way. The CXJ Championship is on the line! Perfect way to open our show! Place your bets, but PLEASE bet responsibily!

EBW: Xcite

1. Spin the Wheel Make the Deal - Ladder Match CXJ Championship: Seto Kaiba(c) vs. Java Coffington
-The bell barely rang before Java Coffington sprinted across the ring and blasted Kaiba with a shotgun dropkick, immediately sending the champion scrambling outside. Java wasted zero time, sliding a ladder into the ring and popping the crowd with his trademark caffeine-fueled urgency.

Kaiba cut him off with a sharp knee to the ribs, followed by a snap Hagen suplex that folded Java onto the steel ladder. Kaiba grounded the pace with stomps, a methodical leg pick, and a Blue Eyes White Dragon sleeper, slowing Java just long enough to regain control.

Java fought back with desperation offense — a sudden low dropkick to Kaiba’s knee, a mule kick to the gut, and a picture-perfect moonsault off the ladder onto the champ on the mat. The crowd erupted as Java climbed, fingertips brushing gold—

Kaiba shoved the ladder, sending Java crashing into the ropes.

Kaiba punished him with a ladder-assisted backbreaker, then wedged the ladder in the corner and launched Java chest-first into it with a running boot. Java refused to stay down, countering a powerbomb attempt into a hurricanrana that sent Kaiba spine-first into the ladder.

Both men climbed opposite sides in a tense visual standoff, trading punches at the top until Kaiba raked the eyes and smashed Java’s head into the rungs. Java held on tight, which brought out Jonas Silvermoon. The acrobatic gypsy fliped over the ropes with speed and agility and bombed Java Coffington off the ladder. 

Kaiba climbed alone.
Winner: Seto Kaiba -> Title Grab -> Title Defense! 

Larry Grim: Oh come on! Jonas Silvermoon? I expected Johnny Starbound or Hooligan, but the gypsy high flier took the money and ensured that the beloved coffee mascot didn't capture his first CXJ Championship! 

Apple Kid: Seto Kaiba continues to prove he'll do ANYTHING for success! Yami Yugi, Tai, and Matt are coming to help Java Coffington, but...WAIT...who is that! Coming down from the rafters! He's scaring Seto Kaiba right out of the ring! It's-



Larry Grim: KIVA?! The father of Maseo Kurenai! The Anahauc legend?! Kiva is back, and looking regal, like some sort of Emperor! He's back! He's out there to help Java? NO! He's attacking Java Coffington?! What's going on here? Why? Why Kiva? 

Apple Kid: Here comes Maseo! He looks very confused himself. Seto Kaiba isn't re-entering the ring either, this wasn't his plan. He looks as confused as the rest of us. 

Larry Grim: Get out of there Caffeine King!

Apple Kid: Wait! We have ANOTHER intrusion in the ring! He's going after Kiva?! Who is-




?: My name is Keisuke Nago! I fight for justice! Dark Luchador, you will return that life to God!

Larry Grim: Is this the surprise Takumi Inui knew about? Kiva has returned and attacked, and then Keisuke Nago, a tremendous talent Edo, has shown up to stand in his way! 

Apple Kid: What is going on!? 

Larry Grim: Maseo is definitely wondering the same thing. He looks like he knows Nago! Are we witnessing the return of Dark Kiva?! This is wild stuff, and we're just getting started!

Boss M's Office

Takumi Inui made his way towards the office of Boss M's, when another figured suddenly exited the door. His sudden exit made Takumi drop the Super Championship. The figure stopped to pick it up and handed it back to him.

Blake Faust: Wow. That's the Super Championship eh? It's pretty important for guys like us to hold onto our belts, am I right? *wink* 

Takumi Inui: Thanks.

Blake pat him on the shoulder and made his way down the hall. Takumi entered the office to find Lucca hitting a heavy bag while Boss M's was face palming. 

Boss M's: Lucca, for the last time, you are NOT the mystery opponent for Tracy. 

Lucca: How do you know, sir? It's all on the wheel. 

Boss M's: Whatever the stipulation is, I already have an opponent picked out, and you're not on the list! 

Lucca: You could put me on the list, sir. She beat me up, and it's eating away at me. 

Boss M's: We don't lean into this rage bait, Lucca. 

Lucca: ...With all due respect, sir. YOU...don't lean into it. I don't like bullies. She's a bully. She's been nothing but a bully for years, and she keeps getting chances to BE a bully. You have to fight bullies. 

Boss M's: What if I don't give a-

Lucca: It's important to care, sir. I was once told that if you don't care, why bother doing anything.

Boss M's: ...Whoever told you that sounds dumb. 

Lucca: You did...after getting out of the hospital and trying to walk again.

Boss M's ...But they're very wise. Very very wise. 

Takumi Inui: Am I interupting? 

Boss M's: Not at all. I actually need you here to blame you for Kiva and Nago. 

Takumi Inui: I literally had nothing to do with it. 

Boss M's: I don't really care. I have to blame someone! 

Takumi Inui: ...If it's all the same I'd rather compete in the ring. 

Boss M's: OH GOOD FOR YOOOOU! No dice! Get it? Cause we're in a Casin- You are going to stand there and get berated, and then when I'm done, you're going to spin the wheel in the main event between EBW Champion Jammer and Troy! 

Takumi Inui: Great. Can I eat at least? Ow! It's still too hot. *blows* *blows* *blows*

-

Larry Grim: For the next match, our very own Apple Kid is taking to the stage to spin the wheel! 

Apple Kid: As you all know, I'm totes dating Minako Aino, star of the hit FlixNet show Minako in Euroland! I hear they tried recasting her with a lesbian of color, but her lawyer...Arliss...ensured she's be able to continue to star in the show THAT HAS HER NAME IN IT! STOP YOUR STUPID CASTING DECISIONS FLIXNET! *clears throat* Anyways, she's up next with former EBW Women's Champions Makoto Angel and Usagi Tsukino! I get to spin the wheel to see how they will face their rivals in Erica, Rei Hino, and Ami Mizuno! Rei and Ami, I WISH you would get your acts together and realize that Minako, Makoto, and Usagi are your friends! *sigh* Anyways, it's time to spin that wheel! What's it gonna be? What's it's gonna be?! What's it gonn-SWIMSUITS!?! SWIMSUITS?! *blood pours from his nose* I'm going to pass ou-

Larry Grim: Apple! Apple! Wake up! Look! 

Apple Kid: Huh?



Apple Kid: *blood pours from his nose* Oh my g-

Larry Grim: Oh no, he's out again. Do they look THAT good?

Tack Angel: They do...they really do. 

Larry Grim: TACK?!

2. Spin the Wheel Make the Deal - Swimsuit 6-Woman Tag: Makoto Angel/Usagi Tsukino/Minako Aino vs. Erica/Rei Hino/Ami Mizuno 
-This match exploded into motion immediately, with all six women flooding the ring in a chaotic exchange of strikes, kicks, and fast tags. Makoto Angel dominated early, overwhelming Ami Mizuno with shoulder blocks, snap suplexes, and a thunderous spinebuster. Erica was strategic in her attempts to stay away from Makoto, and focus on her tag partners. The swim suits did little to hinder the heat between the warring factions in Xcite's women's division. 

Rei Hino changed the tempo with blistering shoot kicks to Makoto’s thighs, forcing a tag to Usagi Tsukino, who brought unpredictable movement — spinning elbows, a sloppy-but-effective bulldog, and an improvised leg sweep that sent Rei rolling.

Erica took control when Minako Aino entered, baiting her into the corner and unloading with knee strikes, snap DDTs, and a running meteora. Ami and Rei worked crisp combination offense — arm drags into low kicks, double-team snap suplexes, and a perfectly timed basement dropkick.

Makoto re-entered to break a near fall, flattening everyone with a double lariat.

The finish came fast.

Rei stunned Makoto with a spinning heel kick. Ami trapped Usagi in a grounded submission. Erica hoisted Minako cleanly and drove her into the mat with a crushing Air Raid Crash.
Winners: Erica[o]/Rei Hino/Ami Mizuno via Air Raid Crash on Minako Aino -> Pin 

Larry Grim: Erica avoided Makoto, and she targetted Minako specifically! I know that has to upset you, Apple!

Apple Kid: ...

Larry Grim: Oh yeah, he's passed out! Tack, I know that-

Tack Angel: I need to help my wife. I need to pick her up! 

Larry Grim: She seems fi-

Tack Angel: I'M GOING TO PICK HER UP! 

Larry Grim: Go for it! The Star Spangled Prince, going off to help his lady love...if that's what we're going to call it. He's hoisting her up! He's grabbing a lot of the right places at the wrong time and...there it is. MASSIVE MASSIVE blood loss right out of the nose. A confused Makoto is now having to carry her husband to the back! What a mess. Well up next, Tracy, the current EBW Women's Champion will have a non-title match, and the stipulation from the wheel will apparently also determine the opponent. Here to spin the wheel is-

Tracy: Excuse me! Someone shut the skeleton man up! I'm talking here! Boo me all you want! I don't care! I tried being nice and holy and pious for you, but I was too good for you! Go ahead! Boo! We can sit here all night, and you can boo, and I don't have to spin shit! I can just sit here and wait and collect a pay check! No, I mean I'll literally do it. I brought a chair. That's right. Keep it down! You know you want to see Tracy overcome whatever else Tali is putting in my way. Let me just give this a little spin and we have....Blast from the Past? Who could they possibly dig up from my past to take me of toni-

The crowd was stunned when one of the EBW Women's OG returned in....JAN...THE MACH PIZZA GIRL! Remember her? Don't lie!

3. Spin the Wheel Make the Deal - Blast from the Past Women's Non-Title Singles: Tracy vs. Jan the Mach Pizza Girl
-Jan the Mach Pizza Girl wrestled like she hadn't lost a step. She opened with blistering jabs, a series of running clotheslines, and a rolling senton that caught Tracy flush. The EBW Women's Champion was shocked by the work of her fellow EBW OG. 

Tracy absorbed the chaos, countering with clean fundamentals — arm wringers, leg hooks, and sharp snapmares into stiff penalty kicks. Jan rallied with a sudden headbutt, a corner cannonball, and a diving crossbody that nearly ended it.

Tracy rolled through a second dive attempt, trapping Jan’s legs and snapping her down violently with sudden precision.

TikTak.

The crowd gasped as Jan’s shoulders hit the mat and Tracy hooked the tights. 

Winner: Tracy via TikTak -> Pin 

Apple Kid: Tracy was shocked, but she overcame the surprise entrant. I didn't expect Jan the Mach Pizza Girl! Did you? 

Larry Grim: I just feel bad that she's STILL working for Mach Pizza. 

Apple Kid: Do the Machs own Mach Pizza? 

Larry Grim: No no. Different kind of Mach. They are Mach as in speedy, and not short for Machismo. 

Apple Kid: That's confusing. 

Larry Grim: That's EBW.

Apple Kid: Wait what? Jan is attacking Tracy! She's going off on the EBW Women's Champion! That's not Jan! That's Troian! It's Troian! That's what they meant by having an opponent for any stipulation. I guess Troian was going to be the talent no matter what the wheel landed on.

Larry Grim: Tracy is on the run. Boss M's has sent her chameleon on the EBW Women's Champion, and you have to wonder how much Lucca had to do with this decision.

Backstage

Jammer was lacing up his boots, when Cheerleader Jenny limped up to him, looking concerned. 

Cheerleader Jenny: Jammer? Champ? You don't have to do this. 

Jammer: I have to do this. 

Cheerleader Jenny: You really don't. 

Jammer: No, I do. I was booked. I have to do the match. 

Cheerleader Jenny: Idiot, I mean you don't have to fight for my honor. I'm not a little priss. I'm not a woman that needs a man to fight her battles! I'm not-

Jammer lifted up her shirt high enough to reveal that her ribs were bruised from Troy pushing her into the guard rail. 

Jammer: I have to do this. Jenny, you've been trying to find your place since your sister left. You chose to spend that time standing by me. I'm chosing to fight for you. I know my place. That's my place. 

Cheerleader Jenny: ...

Jammer: You're blushing. 

Cheerleader Jenny: I AM NOT!

Down the hall, Dan and Benji were making their way to the ring. 

Benjamin: This Luca Blight seems to have it out for you. 

Bashin Dan: Works for me. 

Benjamin: You don't sound worried. 

Bashin Dan: You ever know me to worry about a challenge? 

Benjamin: Dan, that is something I've always respected about you. It's why we've been friends all these years. We both love a challenge. This guy...he's something else, and he's got sponsorship now. We'd better be ready to expect the unexpected. 

Bashin Dan: Absolutely. Let's do this! Gate open! 

Benjamin: ...

Bashin Dan: Oh...I thought the door was voice activated. I'll just open it. Let's go!

4. Spin the Wheel Make the Deal - Tornado Tag: Bashin Dan/Benjamin vs. Luca Blight/Snakebite 
-Total carnage.

Benjamin brawled with Snakebite while Bashin Dan traded desperation offense with Luca Blight. Luca destroyed Dan with repeated corner splashes, deadlift suplexes, and a sickening lariat that turned him inside out.

Snakebite isolated Benjamin with rapid strikes, a sliding knee, and a guillotine choke that nearly put him out. Bashin rallied with a desperation spinebuster, but Luca flew in with a boot that halted everything.

The end was brutal and decisive.

Snakebite lifted Benjamin. Luca Blight crushed him with Boar’s Execution.
Winners: Luca Blight[o]/Snakebite via Boar's Execution on Benjamin -> Pin 

Larry Grim: That was a BRUTAL encounter! Luca Blight and Snakebite were on the warpath. Dan and Benji are two of the very very best, and Luca Blight just powered them around the ring! He definitely has an issue with Dan specifically for playing spoiler to him on a couple of occassions. 

Apple Kid: Well now we have the main event, which came about because of what happened at Hunter's Moon. Colby Roads...who is NOT here tonight...lost his title shot against Jammer, and then Luca Blight, Troy, and Snakebite ran out to pick a fight. Troy pushed Cheerleader Jenny out of the way and she bruised her ribs against the guard rail. Jammer was more than willing to have this fight, but the stipulation is going to come from the EBW Super Champion, Takumi Inui! Here here comes to spin the wheel! 

Larry Grim: What's it's going to be! Exploding Death Match?! Cage?! Buring Ring?! WHAT COULD IT BE?! 

Apple Kid: No Rules. It's No Rules. 

Larry Grim: Oh man...I built it up too much. Dang.

5. Spin the Wheel Make the Deal - No Rules Non-Title Singles: Jammer vs. Troy
-The wheel landed on No Rules, and the atmosphere in the Golden Lasso Casino shifted instantly. There was no feeling-out process. No respect. Jammer marched across the ring and blasted Troy in the mouth before the bell fully faded, sending him spilling through the ropes and crashing into the timekeeper’s area.

Jammer stalked him outside, using the casino floor like a weapon — ramming Troy into the barricade, smashing his face off the ring apron, and whipping him into the steel steps hard enough to flip them over. Troy fired back with his usual temper, cracking Jammer across the back with a chair shot that echoed through the building.

Jammer didn’t go down.

Troy swung again — Jammer caught it, ripped the chair away, and folded Troy with a sickening gut shot followed by a chair-assisted spinebuster onto the casino floor. Jammer rolled Troy back into the ring and battered him with clubbing forearms, short-arm headbutts, and repeated corner avalanches that shook the ropes.

The angry bully Troy wouldn't quit. 

He exploded forward with a sudden low blow, ducked a lariat, and caught Jammer with a running dropkick that sent him crashing through the ropes to the floor. Troy followed with a suicide dive, then a second, finally knocking the big man off his feet.

Weapons flooded the ring — chairs and a length of chain. Troy wrapped the chain around his fist and cracked Jammer across the jaw, staggering him. He hit a snap DDT onto the steel chair and went for the cover.

Two.

Jammer kicked out — angrier now.

Jammer rose and swung wildly, pushing Troy halfway across the ring, then driving him spine-first through a table in the corner with a running splash. The EBW Champion roared, blood trickling from his brow, and dragged Troy up into a brutal powerbomb attempt.

Troy countered mid-air.

He locked in a sleeper with the chain, wrapping it around Jammer’s throat and pulling with everything he had. Jammer staggered, dropped to a knee, then powered back up and hurled Troy backward with a snap position throw.

Both men were down.

They traded punches on their knees. Then on their feet. Boom. Boom. Boom. No finesse. Just survival.

Jammer finally broke the exchange with a devastating headbutt, hooked Troy, and muscled him up despite the damage.

The ring shook on impact, as once again as Jammer went off the top with his Slam Jam. 

Jammer collapsed into the cover, draping an arm across Troy’s chest as the referee slid into position.

1-2-3! 
Winners: Jammer via Slam Jam -> Pin 

Larry Grim: A big win for the EBW Champion! Jammer is legit! Here comes Luca Blight and Snakebite, but Dan and Benjamin as limping after them. Both teams are fighting it out! It's war! It's war in the Golden Lasso! Goodnight everybody!

Backstage

Tack Angel awoke from his delirium to see that he was hooked to a machine giving him blood. 

Tack Angel: Huh? What? Blood? What happened? 

Geoff Garrett: Don't worry Slap Angel, you lost a little too much blood, but ol' Double G was here to help out his best buddy! 

Tack Angel: What?


Geoff Garrett: You're gonna A-OK, Slappy! 

Tack Angel: AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!
