Ted Pettentool: Hey hey! What’s going on guys? “The Tool” Ted Pettentool is here with all the information you’re going to want to know as we approach THE SPLIT! That’s the day EBW splits in two once again! An Xcite Brand and a Havok Brand, but this time all under the banner of “EBW”, with the prize being the whole shebang at the end of the day. I’m joined by broadcast colleagues Ninten and Makoto Kino for this one, as they will be finding out what brand they end up on here and now. Of course earlier today on a simulcast show on ENN AND ENT, the Draft was held with several talents being decided now, with some supplementary drafts planned as we go. We had BIG news today, isn’t that right guys?

Ninten: I’ll say! I wasn’t expecting the seismic shift we’re about to witness. Dan Club? Well, they lost members! Blood 4 Blood? They lost members too! As it turns out I will be…hang on a second…looking now….huh…going to the Havok brand!

Ted Pettentool: That’s right, and “The Rumble” himself made some big claims to differentiate his brand from the Xcite Brand. Judging by his picks, that’s the brand that will put an emphasis on competition. The picks suggest to me that Havok will be home to Bushido Rules, and the 8-Sided Ring, while Xcite Brand will place more emphasis on spectacle entertainment, tag teams, and a traditional 4-Sided Ring. What do you make of all of this Makoto?

Makoto Kino: Huh? Uh…well, I’m pretty excited to be honest, but I hope all of us Scouts go together!

Ninten: I think that’s a given. The Senshi Titles mean you’ll be able to cross promotions.

Makoto Kino: Oh good! I’ll get to see Ta…uh…all the people on both rosters! I was going to miss them!

Ted Pettentool: Heh, that’s our Makoto Kino for ya! The young lady works in the ring, behind the scenes, and she’s a pretty great cook too! We got some EARTH shattering news at the Draft Press Conference today, where “The Rumble” made a claim, and then an announcement.

EBW Draft Press Conference

Darius Grouch: I’m Darius Emmanuel Grouch III, but you probably know me better as “The Rumble” I’ve been on the cover of Fortune 500 magazines, as the miracle worker of many brands, and I especially love sinking my teeth into combat sports. Pro Wrestling can be so much more than it is. Cartoon silliness is fine for the kids, but some of us want more. I’ve watched in the past the “Bushido Mission'' brought forth a more serious style, and that’s what I believe to be EBW’s future. MMA is big business. Boxing is big business. Wrestling WAS big business. We’re BACK in business thanks to a massive infusion of cash from ENT, who will make the Havok brand its home. ENT values serious competition. They have aired MCW shows in the past, showcasing some amazing talent in amazing matches, and we will have no problem joining forces with them to bring you the best sports possible. We won’t just be the King of Sports. We’ll kick the King of Sports in the balls! You all saw the E1 Climax Finale, the E1 Climax and Grand Prix were both sensational, but the EBW World Championship match caught my attention the most. I had to go out there and make my claim. Trevor Mach won that fight. He might have rolled into a pin, but he made Rama Raju tap out, and he’s the only one who has done that. I’ll make the claim he tapped before the pin, although replays from proper angles have been hard to find. Trevor Mach should be the champion right now. Rama Raju stands there holding the belt, and I respect that guy a lot. He’s a fighting champion, but he’s Swift’s chosen, and I’ve got my own. Not only is my first draft pick Trevor Mach, but I have here the World Championship of Havok. We of the Havok brand recognize Trevor as having won that match, and as being the World Champion. Trevor, step on up here son.

Trevor Mach: I appreciate the vote of confidence, but the fact is, we were shooting for mutually assured destruction in that bout and we found it. Who really won? It’s hard to say. I will make the claim that no one has pushed Raju to a draw like that in any case. I don’t like things handed to me. I prefer to earn them. If you want to recognize me as the inaugural champ though, that’s cool. I have an addiction to nostalgia, and to be honest I missed the Havok brand. It was the wild wild west. We were stirring up trouble all over the world. We tore up Edo, and then left it better off. It was rad. This belt is rad. I’ll claim it, but I want to defend it immediately. On our first show, you line up some contenders, and the winner gets a shot on night one. I’ll be a fighting champion on our fighting show! Also, on a personal note, I’m thrilled to be on ENT, as the HQ is closer to my farm, and I get to spend more time with the family, so thanks for that “Rumble” dude.

Darius Grouch: You’ve been at this since you were 20 right? That’s a wealth of experience for a man of 37. I value hard work, determination, and experience. I’m not going to play favorites. I will make you go to war for me, but I’m also fair. I intend to draft Blood 4 Blood in its entirety and-

Swift: I don’t think so! You drafted Trevor, and I draft Rama, but make no mistake, my next pick WILL be a member of Blood 4 Blood. I value that team just as much as you do, and any single one of them could be a breakout star!

Darius Grouch: Interesting. The table flipper is playing strategically. I like this. Fine, I pick Subculture as my second pick.

Swift: TACK ANGEL!

Tack Angel: Huh? Oh no! I’m not in Blood 5 Blood anymore!

Tracy Angel: It’s Blood 4 Blood, and that’s fine. I wanted you away from that bad influence anyways. We can really rocket your image back to the top now!

Tack Angel: Well yeah it’s Blood 4 Blood…now. I just left and-

Tracy Angel: Shhh!

Tack Angel: Right dear!

Darius Grouch: …Picky Minch.

Swift: MAV VALENTINE!

Mav Valentine: Whoa! Just got back, and I’m already in high demand, baby!

Tack Angel: OH NO! NOW IT’S BLOOD 3 BLOOD!

-

Ted Pettentool: Things got heated as the draft went on. That wasn’t the only big shocker of the day. Darious Grouch started targeting women-

Makoto Kino: OH NO!

Ted Pettentool: ….To draft.

Makoto Kino: Oh right!

Ted Pettentool: And snagged up Wendy Mustang, who was rechristened the Women’s World Championship, leaving Xcite Brand with need of a new EBW Women’s Champion.

Makoto Kino: While Ice and Siren will stay on the Xcite Brand as EBW Women’s Tag Team Champions, Dem Girlz have already been crowned the Women’s World Tag Team Champions of the Havok Brand.

Ninten: It occurs to me, we really could just show everyone the state of the rosters. It’s all set now. You’re on the Xcite Brand btw Makoto.

Makoto Kino: AWESO- I mean splendid.

Ninten: …I refuse to believe you meant the word splendid specifically.

Ted Pettentool: Let’s check out the rosters, and roll call of current champions

Ted Pettentool: Yes, you’re looking at that right. Benjamin and “Trigger” Cade Yaggis are on the Havok Brand, while Bashin Dan, Jammer, Jaden Yuki, and Vape are on the Xcite Brand. Just like Blood 4 Blood, the Dan Club has been SPLIT! Does this mean TWO Dan Clubs? Does this mean TWO Blood 4 Bloods? What would Tack call them then? You might have noticed that not ALL of the roster has been picked up. Both brands are preparing some deck shuffling and some surprises. One of those has already leaked, as Dougie Mach is returning to the ring. Having spent a few years rehabbing injuries, training for a return, and dabbling with long distance dating a stalker ex-girlfriend, Dougie Mach is apparently finally free to return, and I’m told, he’s got a new main female interest, but who…or whom for that matter? I’m sure we’ll find out. Back to Dan Club though, how do they feel about all of this? Vape spent his Summer on hiatus from EBW, and after a trip with the family to Happy World Land, he decided he was going to go make movies! Hollyweird was calling…or he called them…and then they hung up on him. Check it out.

Jammer’s Apartment

*knock knock*

Jammer: Hel-

Vape: Slam Jam! Old buddy old pal! How the heck are ya? Surprised?!

Jammer: …I smelled you when you got to this floor actually.

Vape: Huh? Oh yeah, I had to walk up the stairs in front of your building! I broke a sweat!

Jammer: …It’s three steps.

Vape: Haha! Boy you said it! So buddy, I wanted to talk to you about-

Jammer: No.

Vape: Huh?

Jammer: Absolutely not. You can’t move in.

Vape: How did you know about-

Jammer: The last thing you said to me….after the vacation from Hell, was “I’M GOING HOLLYWEIRD!” and then left me hanging in the trash heap of an apartment we were BOTH paying for. You left that place in tatters. They had to tear it down! I JUST got this place, with intentions to actually have Jenny come over and celebrate that we’re on the same brand! We get to be on the road together again! She’s splitting her time with Havok Brand and-

Vape: That’s all great and all, but we’re talking about and focusing on my personal well being right now, and-

Jammer: No we’re not! I WAS helping you, but you left me with a HUGE bill! My savings got wiped out! I downsized! I don’t have room for you!

Vape: Listen! I’m living in a VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER, and-

Jammer: Hilarious reference but-

Vape: No seriously!

Jammer: You don’t even drive!

Vape: I know! I just sort of found it!

Jammer: I thought you were making movies now! You got Dibney and Scarvel to produce and finance your movie “The Slutler” for Dibney+ right?

Vape: They didn’t understand the source material! It was supposed to be about this large dude with a bunch of women who served his every need during the day, and fight crime at night….while also serving his every need….sexually.

Jammer: Obviously. Sounds like your “Cuckubus” movie idea.

Vape: Dibney bought the rights, and recast ME as a thin black girl, who girl bosses her way to the top of her field, while the villain is EVERY WHITE MALE EVER!

Jammer: …I told you not to trust Dibney. Did I not? They BOUGHT the rights though. What did you do with all of that mone-

Vape: Vapecoin.

Jammer: OF COURSE! I TOLD YOU THAT WAS GOING TO TANK!

Vape: HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW!?

Jammer: I LITERALLY TOLD YOU! I SAID “FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY, DO NOT CREATE VAPECOIN!”  

Vape: …I mean if only I saw some warning signs and red flags ya know?

Jammer: I literally was waving red flags.

Vape: Why did you HAVE red flags though?

Jammer: For just such an occasion. At least I can say I tried! Look dude, Dan Club took a hit wit the Brand Split, and I’m ….”happy?” that you’re back, but I have no room for yo-

Vape: *puppy dog eyes*

Jammer: …ICK! FINE! I have a storage closet!

Vape: YAY! EVERYTHING’S COMING UP VAPE!

-

Makoto Kino: Well, it looks like at least PART of the Dan Club is sticking together! We have no idea how Bashin Dan feels about it, but he has to be feeling pretty good about winning the E1 Climax! We’ll hear from him on the debut of EBW: Xcite as its own entity in Fourside! We’ll see TWO Randomizer Tag matches to determine who will face off for the brand new EBW Tag Team Championships! We’ll also see the EBW Champion Rama Raju in Non-Title action against Sabre, as his next opponent for the title is already slated to be the Dangerous Player himself. Bashin Dan vs. Rama Raju will be an exciting match that the Xcite Brand can promote. Can Havok Brand compete?

EBW: Xcite
Fourside Arena, Fourside
ENN

1. Randomizer Tag: TBA/TBA vs. TBA/TBA
2. TBA
3. Randomizer Tag: TBA/TBA vs. TBA/TBA

6. EBW Tag Team Championship Finals: TBA/TBA vs. TBA/TBA

Ninten: We’re going to come our swinging with our show, as we can already confirm a World Championship title match! The opening bout will see Hazen, Picky Minch, and Zyro Kurogane compete to see who gets that title shot. Dougie Mach will return to take on Pucky, Benjamin, the runner up in the E1 Climax will take on Tag and Team Champion Isiah Muscle, and in the main event, we have Trevor Mach defending that World Championship. We know that Wendy Mustang will be in attendance, and we have two slots left on the card, so who knows what the women’s division will bring to the table? We know that ENT means business with the ladies as shown by MCW, so I’m sure we’ll find out soon!

?

In a dark room, Gordon Cole watched the screen, while using an old typewriter and smoking heavily.

Gordon Cole: I KNOW I HEARD THAT RIGHT! THEY  SAID TREVOR MACH WAS 37! EVERYONE APPEARS TO BE YOUNGER THAN BEFORE…EXCEPT ME OF COURSE! SO MANY MINOR CHANGES AND SO MANY LARGER ONES TOO!

Gordon looked up at his cork board, with different notes posted on it, such as “Where is w00t?” and “Rufus Poochyfud lives!”

Gordon Cole: A BRAVE NEW WORLD INDEED!

Gordon saw a clip of “Trigger” Cade Yaggis in a highlight package for his debut on ENT television.

Gordon Cole: DOUBT HE EVEN REMEMBERS HE SAVED US ALL! GO GET ‘EM KID!

Outside of Fourside Arena

The streets outside of the arena were crowded with fans, as the Xcite Brand launched with a red carpet and ticker tape parade. All big stars were showing up, with the fans especially going wild for the arrivals of Bashin Dan, “Trigger” Cade Yaggis, and the Angel Family.

Good News Gary: Good News Everyone! Gary here on the mic for the launch of the Xcite Brand, and I could not be more Xcit-ED! Eh? Hahahaha! Pinkies up people, cause Rains is gonna be on the show tonight! Where is he now? See that storm cloud on the horizon? He’s coming, and so must I, come to the conclusion that I need to interview people that is. Here comes Bashin Dan! The “Dangerous Player” himself, along with “Trigger” Cade Yaggis! Welcome to the Xcite Brand gentlemen!

Cade Yaggis: Yeah! This is awesome! I’m gonna be picking this ticker tape out of my clothes and hair for days, and who still has ticker tape, but this is AWESOME! The Trigger Man is here!

Good News Gary: Yeah, but here’s the thing. You’re not on this brand. We’re all a little curious to see you here.

Cade Yaggis: What? I can’t crash the party immediately? I can’t shock the world, like I shocked the Auditor and finished off The Stygian Inquisition? You telling me I can’t do that?

Good News Gary: Uh…no. Swift said absolutely not-

Cade Yaggis: Well I might as well try and go in anywa-

Good News Gary: Red Shirt Security is at the door.

Cade Yaggis: …Well, I’d better not rock the boat right? Dan, good luck tonight buddy!

Bashin Dan: …

Cade Yaggis: Dan? You alright?

Bashin Dan: Huh? Yeah, I’m great, I just…I’m really glad to see you so happy man. It’s a nice difference from before.

Cade Yaggis: Before?

Bashin Dan: Nothing to worry about. Thanks for the ride over man, and good luck

Cade Yaggis: Yeah, I’m not messing with Red Shirts. Black Shirts most definitely, but not Red Shirt Security. Later!

Good News Gary: There he goes. Yeah, this split is bringing about changes already! The big news surrounding Dan is not just the E1 victory and future match up with Rama Raju, but the splitting of Dan Club. How do you feel about that?

Bashin Dan: It’s honestly a little exciting. It’s unpredictable. Benjamin and I had an all time classic battle at the E1. It could have gone either way. I got lucky at the end as far as I’m concerned. That guy is the best of the best. I’m excited to see how we both grow for a rematch down the road.

Good News Gary: The kids call that a “runback”. You could say you’re “running it back?”

Bashin Dan: …I’m not gonna do that. I’m going to have a rematch with my friend. We’re wrestling, not running. I don’t understand what you’re trying to say Gary.

Good News Gary: Never mind! Just trying to be hip, and kill time, as the storm cloud draws closer! Hey look, it’s Tack and Tracy with Christina! You’re all going to be VERY busy tonight huh?

Tack Angel: You can say THAT again! Say, I’ve got TWO daughters right? Where is Christy again?

Tracy Angel: That bratty teenager got sent to a boarding school in Anahauc remember?! She’d constantly speak out against me, acting like she was speaking on your behalf which is just bizarre, cause I do that for you!

Tack Angel: Oh…right. My head has been spinning lately. Maybe I need to see Doc Degrees about tha-

Tracy Angel: No, don’t worry about that honey. You’ve got a hard head. Nothing can damage the money maker that is Tack Angel! Remember our ski trip darling?

Tack Angel: How could I forget? It was the night we first-

Tracy Angel: You didn’t know how to ski and cracked your head on that rock! You were fine!

Tack Angel: Honestly, I probably should have gone to the hospital then!

Tracy Angel: But then…you would have missed out! Haha!

Christina Angel: My parents ladies and gentlemen…always…well…like THIS!

Tracy Angel: Relax! We’re just playing around. It’s a party atmosphere for a big night, when your father is going to return to the top of the cards with his good good friend Geoff Garrett.

Tack Angel: *cough*

Good News Gary: The EBW Mars Champion, which is now only second to the EBW Championship on the Xcite Brand!

Tack Angel: *cough cough cough cough*

Tracy Angel: Breathe honey. Here’s your paper bag and a bottle of water. Make sure you point the label towards the camera. Folks, Tack has had the same motto since he was John Tack, and that’s “Never Give Up! Never Surrender!” and he and Double G are gonna become the first of a brand new line of EBW Tag Team Champions! He’s ready to make history yet again! Isn’t that right honey?

Tack Angel: *breathing into a paper bag* Mmhm! *weak thumbs up*

Good News Gary: The heroes are here, and so are the “villains” as I’ve been told, with guys like Razorblade and Rude, none too happy to be split from Kaiba Corp. and not given a better spont on the show, and the wild cards like Mav Valentine are also here. EVERYBODY’S HERE….MOST IN CATERING! Rains is gonna be in action too, so don’t miss it cause it’s starting….RIGHT NOW! GOOD NEWS!


"Yngwie Malmsteen - My Resurrection"



Larry Grim: WELCOME TO THE XCITE BRAND! Xcite is here LIVE at the Fourside Arena for our re-debut of sorts. It’s WAR in EBW once again, as Xcite goes head to head with “the other brand” and we’re not pulling any punches, as the winner takes it all. It’s all for “The Prize” as it were!

Apple Kid: That’s right, it’s Grim and the Apple dude here to call ALL the action, with Ninten, Good News Gary, and Makoto Kino backing us up! Normally Makoto would be our third on the stick, but she’s in action tonight!

Larry Grim: That’s right, as we see Christina Angel and Tracy Angel team up to take on the duo at Tracy’s request even! What brought that on? She claims it’s the “most marketable” match, but she seems to harbor resentment as Makoto Kino. That much has been obvious right? I’ve seen, and I don’t even have eyes!

Apple Kid: It’s unsettling…the no eyes thing, but my hair is a stem so I can’t complain about weird things. This is a loaded card! OUR CHAMPION IS IN ACTION!

Larry Grim: Lots of Eagleland Gladiator involvement on the show tonight, and they’ll probably be watching that tag we were talking about earlier, because the winner will most likely get the next shot at Siren and Ice! We’re kicking things off with action though! That’s what the fans want to see! They want high flying, explosive spots, and action up the wazoo, and we’re gonna deliver! We have the DREAM TEAM opening the show! The team that has been dubbed by fans “The Slap n’ Kick Express!” It’s Tack Angel and Geoff Garrett taking on Jammer and Tower! Let’s get to the action baby!

EBW: Xcite
Fourside Arena, Fourside
ENN

1. Randomizer Tag: Tack Angel/Geoff Garrett vs. Jammer/Tower
-Tack Angel and Geoff Garrett took on Jammer and Tower, in the Randomizer Tag that kicked off the new era of Xcite, and set the tone for what to expect, with high spots and fast action galore. Jammer seemed to be in his element with a guy like Tower, using the big back to hit flying moves off his shoulders. Tack Angel tried chopping down the big man Tower, and hit a Rider Kick off the top, not realizing that Double G had blind tagged and in and rolled up Tower for the 1-2-3.
Winners: Tack Angel/Geoff Garrett[o] via Rider Kick Rollup on Tower -> Pin

Larry Grim: Wow! What a combo! Tack and Geoff knocked over the Tower of Power, and the crowd is loving it! Tack seems troubled for some reason! He’s got his eyes fixed on the EBW Mars Championship!

Apple Kid: He’s just focusing on the main event for sure! The winner of the next Randomizer Tag will meet them in the main event, and the EBW Tag Team Champions will be crowned! Up next though, the women are in action, as Erica takes on Cherry Akintola. Now Erica was a member of The Stygian Inquisition, but with them falling apart, we have to wonder if she’s going back to her old ways or not? Guess we’ll find out!

2. Women’s Singles: Erica vs. Cherry Akintola
-Cherry tried to extend a hand to open the match, but Erica faked a handshake and slapped Cherry in the face. Cherry fired up and was in offensive control when Gianna Rambaldi walked out to ringside. A short time later, Erica clipped the back of Cherry’s leg and was in offensive control. She worked over the warrior from Deep Darkness, and hit the Air Raid Crash on Akintola for the pin and the win. After the match, Rambaldi pointed at Erica and mouthed something to her before walking away.
Winner: Erica vs. Air Raid Crash -> Pin

Larry Grim: Erica with the win, and it looked like Rambaldi wanted a piece of her after the match! What’s up with that?

Apple Kid: Short answer? Pecking order. Long answer? Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeecking order.

Larry Grim: I guess you’re right. It’s a Brave New World as they keep saying. Christina Angel won the E1 Grand Prix, and that gives her a shot at the new EBW Women’s Championship, but it takes two to tango, and the other women are going to fight it out for that other spot it seems.

Apple Kid: Well up next, we have a very random team up, as Jaden Yuki and Magnum PT take on Rains and Vape! We’ve got Jaden to tell us all about how he feels about this. Take it away Jaden!

Jaden Yuki: ♫ Apple Kid man, I just gotta let ya know, ain’t no way they’re gonna beat us in this tag oh no! I’m gonna use a spell card, bring out my man PT, get the win, celebrate, maybe see a little “TT”. Dan the man’s back in action, gettin’ traction, maybe with this win he’ll put PT in the faction! But yo hey, I gotta go, your boy Jaden Yuki’s bought ta win ya know! Gotta leave before I tell ya my big plan, but first I gotta scream cause that’s a skeleton man! AAAAH! ♫

Larry Grim: *sigh* I play Duel Monsters with you dude.

Apple Kid: Well now we’ve got Vape to tell us how he feels about the match. Vape?

Vape: I agree with Jaden entirely.

Apple Kid: About him winning?

Vape: No, about seeing some “TT”.

Apple Kid: …..

Vape: Booba.

Apple Kid: Right.

3. Randomizer Tag: Jaden Yuki/Magnum PT vs. Rains/Vape
-A mishmash of teams faced off, with Yuki and PT taking on the odd pairing of Rains and Vape. Rains was looking to make this the kick off of the “Big Driz” era, but in the midst of the match, something strange happened, as the arena seemed to get very cold, and a near identical Rains came out to distract him at ringside, except that he was blue. In the ring, PT hit the Mustache Ride on a winded and profusely sweating Vape, and pinned him for the win.
Winners: Jaden Yuki/Magnum PT[o] via Mustache Ride on Vape -> Pin

Apple Kid: I would have called that one, but I didn’t realize that it would because of what we’re seeing here.

Larry Grim: You’re right. It looks like Rains has a rival of sorts, and it could be none other than Su-

Apple Kid: BLUE RAINS!

Larry Grim: Excuse me?

Apple Kid: That’s gotta be Blue Rains!

Larry Grim: Blue Rains?!

Apple Kid: The eternal rival of Rains!

Larry Grim: Wasn’t that like Sharktis?

Apple Kid: Keep up Larry, that was like months ago! This is his TRUE eternal rival! Yep! Look, it’s Bad News Barry! Looks like he found the perfect foil for Gary’s boy!

Larry Grim: Blue Rains though? Are you sure it’s not something else like Su-

Apple Kid: Trust me, it’s totally Blue Rains!

Larry Grim: Well OK then! Let’s move on shall we? The women are up next again, with a BIG match up. Former Women’s World Champions, and mother-daughter duo Tracy and Christina Angel join forces for the first time ever, as they take on Rei Hino, and our friend and broadcast colleague Makoto Kino.

Apple Kid: Yes…friend…we’re firmly in that Friendzone. The friendliest friends that ever friended.

Larry Grim: …You’re dating Minako Aino are you not?

Apple Kid: Hm? Yeah, I love it!

Larry Grim: Then what was that you were saying about Makoto?

Apple Kid: Nothing! I love being friends with Makoto! We’re all super close! It’s great!

Larry Grim: …Can’t tell if sarcasm.

4. Women’s Tag: Christina Angel/Tracy vs. Rei Hino/Makoto Kino
-The arena was buzzing with anticipation as the tag team match between The Angelic Duo and The Sailor Sensations was about to unfold. The match kicked off with Christina Angel and Makoto Kino as the initial competitors. Christina, with her technical prowess, attempted to ground the formidable Makoto. However, the Sailor Sensation showcased her incredible strength early on, countering Christina's moves with powerful slams and strikes. Makoto tagged in Rei Hino, who brought her fiery intensity to the match. Rei and Makoto, with their synchronized teamwork, began to isolate Christina, keeping her away from her mother Tracy. Rei unleashed her signature kicks, and Makoto followed with her crushing body slams. Christina fought valiantly, eventually making a crucial tag to Tracy Angel. Tracy, the fresher of the two, entered the ring with a burst of energy. She showcased her acrobatic agility, hitting a stunning moonsault on Rei Hino, but Rei kicked out just in time. The Sailor Sensations, known for their resilience, turned the tide with a series of well-coordinated double-team maneuvers. Tracy Angel found herself on the receiving end of their onslaught, enduring a barrage of attacks from Rei and Makoto. But just when it seemed like all hope was lost, Christina Angel managed to break up a pinfall attempt by Rei Hino. The match escalated into a frenzied showdown, with all four women battling inside and outside the ring. In a climactic moment, Christina Angel countered a double-team move, delivering a jaw-dropping Angel Wings finisher on Rei Hino.
Winners: Christina Angel[o]/Tracy beat Rei Hino[x]/Makoto Kino via Angel Wings -> Pin

After the match the Sailor Sensations tried to shake hands with Tracy, but she pushed away Makoto’s hand, and when she tried to ask what was wrong, Tracy pushed her away, leaving the ring while trying to keep her composure, as a confused Christina followed behind.

Larry Grim: Whoa! What is THAT about? Makoto was just trying to show some respect! That’s how it’s done.

Apple Kid: Tracy has had a wild streak in the past. We all know that rocky patch she and Tack had way back when, and the less said about that period of time with Tali Mach the better. Well not for me, cause I love lesbian pollen, but she’s been on the straight and narrow ever since, or so it seemed!

Larry Grim: That’s true. She’s been very unpredictable though, like that time she aligned with the Stuart family to kick start the “WAR” that led to a certain “other brand” in the first place. Being back in the ring, getting fired up, might bring those tendencies out of Tracy!

Apple Kid: …I watch the Tracy-Tali stuff a lot…don’t tell Tack or the guy I’m not allowed to talk about. Please don’t tell them. PLEASE! PLEASE! LARRY PLEASE!

Backstage

Swift was barking orders backstage, taking a more hands on approach to keep the show flowing, when he was approached by-

Swift: HEY! GET THAT OUT OF THE WAY! RAJU AND SABRE ARE COMING THROUGH AND-

Sal Paradise: HEY! SWIFT! WHAT THE FRICK BUD?!

Swift: Paradise?! Where you been?!

Sal Paradise: Boomtown and I took his tank down to Anahauc for the weekend!

Swift: We haven’t seen you all Summer!

Jason Boomtown: …Sal really had a fun time.

Sal Paradise: I opened up a surfboard shop, and got married to a woman who doesn’t speak a word of Eaglish! I’m one of those guys that wear tropical shirts and seashell necklaces now. That’s my new personality download.

Swift: ….Boomtown, what were you doing this whole time?

Jason Boomtown: Ah, well I’m secretly still employed by the Government, which one I won’t say, to take care of problems that threaten peace and freedom, so after a week of hard partying, I went to take care a mission, and then scooped up Sal on the way back up.

Swift: …Both of those things sound WILDLY entertaining, but I NEEDED you HERE! You missed the DRAFT!

Sal Paradise: That’s what I was going to ask! WHAT DRAFT?! WHAT HAVE I MISSED!? Why aren’t Boomtown and I in the running for these tag titles?!

Swift: YOU WEREN’T HERE!

Sal Paradise: Besides that incredibly valid reason!

Swift: Look, you want a shot at the first champs, you’ve got it, BUT….you need to sign a contract first.

Sal Paradise: Oh yeah, guess we better do that! Hahahaha!

Swift: So Boomtown…about this secret Government job?

Jason Boomtown: …I’m sorry did I say that out loud!? I was nervous!

5. Non-Title Singles: Rama Raju vs. Sabre
-Rama Raju, the reigning EBW Champion, made his way to the ring with the championship belt gleaming over his shoulder. He exuded cool confidence, knowing that he was about to face a formidable challenger in Sabre. As the bell rang, the two competitors circled each other in the ring, gauging their opponent's movements. Sabre, known for his power, aimed to ground the fiery champion. Rama Raju, on the other hand, relied on his speed and agility to maintain his advantage. The match started with a series of chain wrestling exchanges, with both Rama Raju and Sabre attempting to gain the upper hand. Sabre targeted Rama's left arm, trying to weaken it for submission. Rama, however, countered with his lightning-quick strikes and aerial maneuvers, keeping Sabre on his toes. As the match progressed, Rama Raju showcased his championship pedigree, executing a breathtaking top-rope moonsault, but Sabre, with his resilience and technical prowess, refused to stay down. He managed to lock in a punishing armbar on Rama, testing the champion's resolve. Rama Raju fought through the pain, inching his way to the ropes and forcing the break. The crowd erupted in applause for his resilience. The match continued with both wrestlers giving it their all, trading near falls and submission attempts. In the end, Rama Raju managed to hit his signature move, the Burning Arrow on Sabre for a pinfall victory.
Winner: Rama Raju via Burning Arrow -> Pin

Larry Grim: That’s a win for the champ! Rama Raju with the win! As Sabre and he are shaking hands and bowing with respect though, I see someone in the crowd watching intently.

Apple Kid: Isn’t that Ra? I mean The Preacher? What is he doing here? He seems pretty happy for a guy that lost his entire stable at the E1 Climax Finals!

Larry Grim: Wait! Look! It’s Razorblade!

Apple Kid: He just rolled into the ring and smashed the champ in the head with brass knuckles! Sabre is chasing him into the crowd while The Preacher laughs! Laser and Turbo of the Gladiators are helping the EBW Champion to his feet with respect. That’s how it’s done, unlike Razorblade’s antics!

Larry Grim: Did he already find a new handler after being cut off from Kaiba Corp? Did he make a deal with the devil?

Backstage

Swift continued to try running a tighter ship in the back, taking a more hands on role in the overall production of the show, when he was suddenly forced to turn around by-

Rude: Swift!

Swift: …That’s President Swift to you Rude. You want to take your hand off me? You might lose it otherwise.

Rude: You didn’t book me, yet again.

Swift: Six match show Rude, and two of them involved four random teams. It’s not my fault that you didn’t have the luck of the draw. Better luck next time!

Rude: There won’t BE a next time Swift! You think cause you drafted me that I was going to be loyal to you. I was only ever loyal to one team in my life, and the rest of this has been about money and respect. I don’t have the respect I deserve here, and I’m not seeing the money I want. I’m out of here.

Swift: What?!

Rude: First show of your “Brave New World” and I’m walking out. I got a better offer, and I’m taking it!

Swift: A better offer? Seto Kaiba value your services that much or did “The Fumble” make a play for you?

Rude: It was an offer…I couldn’t and wouldn’t refuse. Curious? I’m sure you’ve got ENT.

Swift: …SECURITY!

Rude: I’ll let myself out.

Swift: Grrrr! Security, bring me a table! I NEED TO FLIIIIIIIP!

6. EBW Tag Team Championship Finals: Tack Angel/Geoff Garrett vs. Jaden Yuki/Magnum PT
-Main event time, as the EBW Tag Team Championship was on the line. The Slap n' Kick Express, Tack Angel and Geoff Garrett, looked focused and determined to capture the gold, while PT-Yuki Connection, Jaden Yuki and Magnum PT, were ready to force an upset with all they had. The match began with Tack Angel and Jaden Yuki as the starting competitors. Tack, known for his kicks, and high-flying abilities, immediately took control of the match with a series of quick strikes and aerial maneuvers. Jaden, a crafty wrestler, used his technical skills to counter Tack's offense. As the match progressed, the teamwork of both random teams was on full display. Geoff Garrett received the tag from Tack and brought his power and brawling style into the match. He exchanged heavy blows with Magnum PT, creating a thunderous collision in the ring. The PT-Yuki Connection, however, managed to isolate Geoff Garrett from his partner, using quick tags and double-team moves to keep him on the defensive. Magnum PT unleashed his raw strength, while Jaden Yuki used his agility to wear down Geoff. Just when it seemed like Geoff Garrett was on the brink of defeat, he summoned his inner strength and managed to make a desperate tag to Tack Angel. Tack entered the ring like a whirlwind, taking out both Jaden and Magnum with his lightning-fast kicks and high-impact moves. The climax of the match came when Tack Angel executed his signature move, and CLUTCHED the WRIST on PT, however he got mullet grease in his eyes and let go, falling into the corner, as Double G made the blind tag. He hit The Stroke on his friend PT, and pinned him for the 1-2-3. The Slap n' Kick Express are the first ever EBW Tag Team Champions of the Xcite Brand!
Winners: Tack Angel/Geoff Garret[o] beat Jaden Yuki/Magnum PT[x] via Stroke -> Pin -> NEW EBW Tag Team Champions!




Larry Grim: It’s happened! The Slap n’ Kick Express with the victory and EBW Tag Team Championships! Tack Angel once again has gold around his waist, with his good good friend Geoff Garrett, who is now a DOUBLE CHAMPION!

Apple Kid: Here comes the Red Shirts to celebrate, while Magnum PT is showing his respect to his pals in the ring. They’re all hoisting up the team, and it looks like Tack Angel is in tears!

Larry Grim: He’s obviously overwhelmed with emotion! The Pushpin Seraphim is back at the top baby, with Geoff Garrett, the Red Shirts, PT, and his family behind him! What a way to close out the first show of the Xcite Brand era! It’s a Brave New World! We’ll see you next time!

Catering

A Lakitu found Mav Valentine sitting in the back eating.

Mav Valentine: Hm? What? I wasn't booked, what do you expect me to do? Stir up a little chaos? I'm warming up to it. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna get back to this Mahi Mahi. Hehe...Mahi Mahi.

Outside of the Fourside Arena

Janitor Nosan walked out with broom in hand to see an ocean of ticker tape clogging the streets.

Nosan: ...I am NOT cleaning all of this up!

Howlers Arena - Backstage

The Havok Roster were all standing around, apprehensive of each other, as a figure stood up to address them all. It was Darius Emmauel Grouch III, otherwise known as “The Rumble”.

Darius Grouch: Alright “Renegades” I’m gonna make this short and sweet. You’re here because you’re the best, and I want to see the best. I want this show to be an escalation of “WAR” like it was before. This is a culmination of what wrestling has been, and where it is going. I’m not looking for cartoonish buffoonery unless it pops a rating and makes me and all of you a lot of money. No, what I want to see is pure combat. Code of the Gladiator type *bleep*. It’s gonna cost ya to be in Havok though. You gotta pay if you want to play. Blood is the price. Spill your life into that ring, and immortalize yourself as a warrior or go to the other show and play musical chairs for all I care. That’s your choice. I’m not playing favorites here. I made this roster because I want to make you all fight each other. Trevor Mach is your World Champion, but I want to see if one of you can knock him off the top spot. Wendy Mustang? Same thing. Knock her off the spot if you can. Survive if they let you. Isn’t that how the saying goes? This is Havok Brand. This is where we come to fight, so fight.


“Skillet - Feel Invincible”



Pyro went off in the Howlers Arena, as a familiar duo welcomed the wild crowd.

Tommy Dukes: Welcome back Renegades! The escalation of WAR has returned! It’s Havok baby! We’re back in action, and we’re rocking a packed crowd in the Howlers Arena tonight! A lot of hungry wolves in this arena tonight, both in the crowd and in the back! It’s our debut show, and ANYTHING could happen!

Nerma: That’s right! We’re here on ENT, to bring you the best the Renegades have to offer LIVE and unchained! No offense to Grim, Apple, and Makoto, but I think this two person combo is far more accomplished and ready to bring you the action!

Tommy Dukes: Lots of action tonight too. We’re NOT wasting time! The other brand thought they had a lot to offer? Well we’ve got a lot more. You saw a card, but who says it’ll stick? This 8-sided ring, will be the sight of many battles to come, and tonight the World Champion WILL be in action.

Nerma: That’s right, the rightful winner of the World Championship match at the E1 Climax Finals. The man that made Rama Raju TAP! Trevor Mach will face the winner of our first match tonight! Three contenders hungry for battle and glory! Hazen, Picky Minch, and Zyro Kurogane! Picky is Trevor’s Blood 4 Blood brother, but all bets are off when the strap is on the line. What are we waiting for? The Renegades are ready, and we’re ready! Sooooooo….

Tommy Dukes: LET’S TAKE IT TO THE RING!

EBW: Havok
Howlers Arena, Southtown
ENT

1. Earn Your Shot: Hazen vs. Picky Minch vs. Zyro Kurogane
-The crowd roared with anticipation as the three fighters made their way to the ring. Hazen, a hulking figure with a chiseled physique, looked like a seasoned MMA fighter. Picky Minch, on the other hand, was smaller in stature but carried an air of confidence that belied his size. Zyro Kurogane, known for his flashy style, entered with a whirlwind of theatrics, flipping and twirling to the disdain of the audience. The bell rang, signaling the start of the match, and Hazen wasted no time. He charged at Picky Minch like a freight train, aiming to overwhelm his opponent with raw power. Picky, quick on his feet, dodged Hazen's initial onslaught and delivered a series of lightning-fast strikes to Hazen's midsection. The smaller fighter danced around Hazen, ducking and weaving to avoid the brute force of his attacks. Zyro Kurogane, not one to be left out, leaped into the fray. He somersaulted through the air, landing a spectacular dropkick on Hazen, who staggered backward. The crowd erupted in boos at Zyro's acrobatics. Picky Minch seized the opportunity and executed a textbook armbar on Hazen, trying to force a submission. But Hazen's MMA background came to the forefront as he powered out of the armbar, lifting Picky Minch high into the air before slamming him down with a spine-rattling powerbomb. The impact reverberated through the ring, and Picky writhed in pain. Hazen, not one to show mercy, followed up with a brutal ground and pound, unleashing a barrage of punches and elbows. Zyro Kurogane, recovering from his earlier flourish, climbed the turnbuckle and leaped off with a spectacular shooting star press. He landed squarely on Hazen's back, momentarily stunning the big man. Zyro quickly rolled Hazen into a pinning predicament, but Hazen kicked out just in the nick of time. The match raged on, each wrestler taking turns in the spotlight. Picky Minch displayed his MMA skills with precision strikes and submission attempts, while Zyro Kurogane continued to mix it up with his high-flying moves. Hazen, though battered and bruised, refused to stay down, demonstrating his resilience. As the minutes ticked away, the crowd remained on the edge of their seats, unsure who would emerge victorious. But in the end, it was Hazen who sealed the deal. He tossed the Samurai Ifrit leader out of the ring and hoisted Picky Minch up for the Wrist Clutch DVD, leaving Picky sprawled out on the mat for the pin.
Winner: Hazen via Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver on Picky Minch -> Pin

Tommy Dukes: And Hazen gets the win! He’s no longer just the muscle for Kaiba Corp, but now he’s the #1 Contender, and it looks like Ninten is heading into the ring to get a word with him. Ninten take it away!

Ninten: I’m here with the #1 Contender for the World Championship! You get to make history tonight, and be the first to challenge for-

Hazen: History…I make that all the time. History matters little to me. It passes us by. We have ruins left to show us history. I will not fall to ruin. I will not become history. I will be your ever present force of nature, because I am the Last War King, and I will do something I should have done a long time ago, and knock the smirk off the face of the champion, the “Renegade”, the lowly farmer….Trevor Mach.

Backstage

Miss Xtra: I’M BAAAACK! Miss Xtra is here tonight with the BOSS! The new head honcho in town. The big mac dadd-

Darius Grouch: *clears throat*

Miss Xtra: Sorry! I’m caught up in the moment! Mr. Rumble sir. I’m told you have some last minute surprises for us tonight?

Darius Grouch: Indeed I do. I will continue to announce a card as is the old custom, but I might change it the day of. I might add matches, or subtract matches to make even bigger ones. In this case, I’m adding a match. Cade Yaggis amused me with his appearance on the other network. He’s the face of the future according to many, and I want to see him in action, don’t you? I also want to see my Television Champion Johnny Starbound in action. They will meet tonight…in No Rules action. Mr. Yaggis, do you have anything you want to say about that?

Cade Yaggis: Only that, it’s a good move to pull the “Trigger” on your debut show, cause I’m going to bring a fight. I’ve got all sorts of fun plans swirling through my head already! You want No Rules, and that’s just fine by me, cause I can do all sorts of things with the types of items one finds under a ring for some reason. I’m absolutely going to use REAL LEGOS in that match tonight, so look forward to pulling sharp blocks out of your back Starbound!

Darius Grouch: Yes, I do want to see some inventive blood shed. Who is more hungry in this scenario? If you win by the way, you will get a shot at the Television Championship. If you lose, you won’t be on television for a while. I can’t have my “Trigger Man” shooting blanks.

Cade Yaggis: That sounds dirty.

Miss Xtra: Do you really shoot bla-

Cade Yaggis: No! Not even a little bit!

Miss Xtra: Just asking!

Darius Grouch: That’s not my only surprise of the night either. One surprise you won’t see coming, but the other one is coming up now. I have signed away a former EBW Champion from the clutches of the Xcite Brand, because myself and ENT see the value in this controversial former champion. I bring you the one and only….CP Munk!

CP Munk: That’s right! I’m CP Munk! I’m from Windy City, and that’s a large portion of my personality…is being from a city! An invisible border defines my very being! I’m also Curved Rhombus, which means I don’t take addictive substances….except caffeine…and sugar…and acorns…especially acorns! It does mean I’m better than you though! Remember, I’m a former EBW Champion! Havok is MY brand! I’m the locker room leader as of right now, and I have to say I’ve got an issue with everyone already, and I’m looking to fight! Yeah, it might be because my MMA career didn’t go like I planned! IT MIGHT BE! But I’m gonna shoot right now, and say that I don’t LIKE the use of LEGOS on MY brand! You’re not allowed to use them Yaggis!

Cade Yaggis: …I’m gonna.

CP Munk: DON’T DO IT! That stuff is for the B-Show! That’s not what we do on MY show! We use MEGABLOCKS!

Cade Yaggis: …I already got the legos.

CP Munk: MEGABLOCKS! DON’T MESS WITH THE LOCKER ROOM LEADER, OR I’M GONNA MAKE YOU GO TO WRESTLER’S COURT!

Cade Yaggis: …Whatever dude…or chipmunk…or whatever.

CP Munk: Get ready Havok, cause I’m a live wire, and I’m very very unstable!

Darius Grouch: What I was anticipating. This should be fun to watch.

2. Women’s Singles: Darkness Aoi vs. Mitra Lennox
-The next match saw the Lady Renegades in action, as Darkness Aoi and Mitra Lennox prepared to face off. Darkness Aoi, a seasoned veteran with a reputation for her powerful strikes, had also served as a mentor to the up-and-coming Mitra Lennox, but had lost to her in two recent battles. The crowd buzzed with anticipation, eager to witness this clash of styles and mentorship. The bell rang, and the match was underway. Aoi and Mitra locked up in the center of the ring, testing each other's strength and technique. Aoi, with her years of experience, gained the upper hand early on, countering Mitra's attempts to take her down with expertly timed reversals. Mitra, however, showed flashes of brilliance, using her agility and speed to create openings. She managed to slip behind Aoi and executed a picture-perfect Hagen suplex, earning her a roar of approval from the audience. But Aoi, undeterred, fought her way back to her feet, showcasing her resilience. As the match continued, the mat-based offense was on full display. Both Aoi and Mitra traded intricate submission holds and ground-and-pound attacks, each attempting to wear down the other. It was a chess match of technique and strategy, with neither competitor willing to give an inch. The mentorship dynamic added an intriguing layer to the match. Aoi actually did seem torn between teaching Mitra a lesson and giving it her all in the heat of competition, having found a student she seemingly respects. Mitra, on the other hand, displayed a fierce determination to prove herself to her mentor with one last decisive victory. In a pivotal moment, Aoi managed to catch Mitra with a crushing head kick that sent her reeling. As Mitra staggered, Aoi seized the opportunity and locked her in position for her signature move, the Darkness Bomber lariat. With a thunderous impact, Aoi's arm collided with Mitra's neck, spinning her around and crashing her to the mat. The referee counted to three, and Darkness Aoi emerged victorious.
Winner: Darkness Aoi via Darkness Bomber -> Pin

Nerma: Darkness Aoi with the win! She’s helping up Mitra and actually lifting her arm up in respect? Wow! The trio were broken up by the split, but it looks like Aoi and Mitra might stick together. Aoi is definitely in the running for a shot at Wendy Mustang, our Women’s World Champion, and the two might also want to go for the tag titles and-

Tommy Dukes: AOI JUST LAID OUT MITRA! SHE JUST KNOCKED HER RIGHT BACK TO THE MAT!

Nerma: Oh…nevermind.

Backstage

Women’s World Champion Wendy Mustang was walking down the hall, when she was stopped by her partner and rival Lainey Strong.

Lainey Strong: Whoa whoa whoa cowgirl! Hold up a minute! You and I have to talk!

Wendy Mustang: Tarnation Strong, if it’s about the 8-Woman Tag of course you can be in it!

Lainey Strong: That wasn’t it! That was PART of it, but not all of it. I wanted to talk a match for that Women’s World Championship. I was close before, and I’m not giving up.

Wendy Mustang: You’ve been close a few times. I’m sure you’ve been hitting the gym with Benji boy, and you’re rippin’ and roarin’ for another go at Mustang, and of course that’s a possibility. Just no more cheap shots alright? You don’t have to get me fired up for a fight. I’m always fixin’ ta throwdown.

Lainey Strong: Heh. That’s what I like to hear. Yeah, Benjamin wasn’t too big on the cheap shots either, but you didn’t see it coming did you? I wanted you to know I was serious.

Wendy Mustang: That I do not doubt Strong. Not one bit.

Lainey Strong: I’ll definitely team up with you tonight, but I have to know who the fourth woman is.

Wendy Mustang: Oh that’s a special surprise. I don’t want to ruin it. I do however need to find Alison. She’s probably baked in a closet somewhere. Alison? Alison! Where are-

Wendy and Lainey opened a door to find two women sitting on the floor, surrounded by sodas and chip bags, as they played video games in the dark room, and recorded their Let’s Play. The two women in question where Alison Chains and surprisingly young Christy Angel.

Christy Angel: Alright gamers! Let’s do this!

Alison Chains: Open your gamer juice and take a swig gamers!

Christy Angel: We’re the “Gaming Friends” and we’re playing Bigfoot, which you can get on Steam right now.

Alison Chains: Bigfoot? They should call this game Bigfart, because it stinks. I’m only joking gamers, they shouldn’t call this game Bigfart.

Christy Angel: What is that character you’re doing right now?

Alison Chains: …It’s the “49% Entertaining Reviewer”.

Christy Angel: So mostly bad?

Alison Chains: Just like this game. I got it again! I’m the “Almost Interesting Gamer”. Does that work better?

Christy Angel: I don’t think so.

Alison Chains: Well what would you prefer? I can’t just call myself the Smelly Shut in Gamer Girl now can I?

Christy Angel: I think that’s marketable with the “Vape” audience actually.

Alison Chains: Oh yeah? I think the “49% Entertaining Gamer” gimmick would get over. Try it.

Christy Angel: *clears throat* You know what they say about level design.

Alison Chains: What? What do they say?

Christy Angel: They say you should not use more than two aesthetic themes.

Alison Chains: Why is that?

Christy Angel: Because it gets too cluttered looking.

Alison Chains: Give me an example.

Christy Angel: Well look at this stage. It’s got rocks and tree, and that’s good, but if you added a disco ball, it might be too much.

Alison Chains: I’m not following.

Christy Angel: Because I’m making it up as I go along.

Alison Chains: Ah yes, yes of course.

Wendy Mustang: Uh…Alison? What’s-

Christy Angel: Did you just pop a pill?

Alison Chains: Me? No way.

Christy Angel: …..

Alison Chains: I popped a mushroom. That’s like…a gamer item. I’m gonna feel REAL BIG in a few minutes when this thing hits. Come Christy keep gaming. Ignore my pupils and game. Let’s game out with our shame out.

Christy Angel: You REALLY need to wear pants.

Alison Chains: Nah!

Christy Angel: As a gamer, what do you think about that photo real Bigfoot? I mean I’m pretty it’s photo real. Lots of Bigfoots wandering around these days…Bigfeet?

Alison Chains: As a gamer, when’s the last time you like scissor jack hammered a guy during sex.

Christy Angel: WHAT?!

Alison Chains: You know, where you’re like on top standing up, and your scissoring them into the ground and-

Christy Angel: I’M A KID!

Alison Chains: What are you talking about? You’re married!

Christy Angel: That’s my sister!

Alison Chains: …I thought you were my tag partner this whole time.

Christy Angel: We’ve been in here for days together!

Alison Chains: …That’s pretty funny.

Lainey Strong: Is Christy the fourth woman?

Wendy Mustang: Nope. Not sure why she’s here. Last I heard, her Mom sent her to an Anahauc boarding school.

Lainey Strong: …Should we…step in?

Wendy Mustang: No…I’m just going to shut the door…and hope Alison shows up for the match.

Lainey Strong: Good idea.

3. Non-Title No Rules Singles: Cade Yaggis vs. Johnny Starbound
-"Trigger" Cade Yaggis, the beloved face and a rising star in the wrestling world, was set to clash with Television Champion Johnny Starbound, the brash high-flyer known for his daredevil antics. The match kicked off with a flurry of fast-paced maneuvers. Johnny Starbound wasted no time, using his agility to unleash a series of acrobatic flips and aerial assaults on Cade Yaggis. Yaggis, known for his resilience, absorbed the punishment and fought back with a display of raw power, delivering thunderous suplexes and spine-jarring slams. The action quickly spilled outside the ring, where the No Rules stipulations came into play. Yaggis, ever the crowd-pleaser, reached under the ring and pulled out a steel chair. He swung it at Johnny, but the high-flier countered with a breathtaking somersault plancha over the top rope, crashing into Yaggis and sending him tumbling into the barricade. Moments later, Yaggis managed to regain control, setting up a table at ringside. With the crowd on their feet, he hoisted Johnny onto his shoulders, looking to powerbomb him through the table. But Johnny had other plans. He wriggled free and delivered a jaw-dropping tornado DDT onto the unforgiving concrete floor. The match intensified as they introduced more hardcore elements. Johnny pulled out a kendo stick from beneath the ring, cracking it against Yaggis' back with a resounding thud. Yaggis retaliated by tossing Johnny into the ring, where he grabbed a bag of legos from under the turnbuckle, spreading them across the canvas. The crowd were shocked, as he used the legos, looking into the camera and saying "REAL LEGOS! CRY ME A RIVER!" With a devilish grin, Johnny attempted a high-risk maneuver, but Yaggis intercepted him mid-air, planting him face-first into the scattered legos with a spinebuster. The crowd winced as Johnny writhed in agony, his face covered in red welts from the sharp plastic edges. As Johnny struggled to his feet, Yaggis seized the opportunity. With the crowd roaring in approval, Cade was feeling "Trigger Happy". He delivered the Cadebreaker, and Johnny Starbound crumpled to the mat, unable to continue. 1-2-3!
Winner: Cade Yaggis via Cadebreaker -> Pin

Tommy Dukes: “Trigger” wins the match with the Cadebreaker, and all of those Legos! The Television Champion looks to be in agony. That’s a hard loss for Samurai Ifrit, after Zyro-K lost out on a World Championship bout earlier in the night.

Backstage

Cade Yaggis went to the back to celebrate, as he did, he walked by Trevor Mach who gave him a fist bump, as Little Mac handed him a card. As he looked up it, Zyro Kurogane approached him.

Zyro Kurogane: “Trigger” Cade Yaggis. You think you can just come back from a world tour and take my spot?

Cade Yaggis: I don’t want your spot. Your spot sucks. I’m shooting for something substantial actually.

Zyro Kurogane: You’re making powerful enemies already huh?

Cade Yaggis: If you’re talking about Samurai Ifrit, then I’m waiting to be impressed. The Television Champion wasn’t much trouble, and now I got my shot.

Zyro Kurogane: It’s story time with Zyro-K Bey-Bey! Listen up, and listen well. Havok is going to be the brand of Samurai Ifrit. It’s going to be the Zyro Kurogane show. You just watch yourself.

Cade Yaggis: He seems nice. Now where was I? Oh yeah, I was gonna-

CP Munk: HEY! WHAT WAS THAT?! LEGOS?! LEGOS?! I THOUGHT WE-

Cade Yaggis pie faced CP Munk as he walked by. The Curved Rhombus Superstar quickly tried to choke Yaggis as security came in to try and defuse the situation. As this was going down, World Champion Trevor Mach was making his way out to the ring to a big reaction.

Trevor Mach: *clears throat* *clears throat again* *clears throat a third time* BOOSH! Haha! Oh yeah, we’re so back baby, it’s not even funny! It’s a little funny…it’s HILARIOUS! Havok is back, and I’m the World Champion! 2013 never died! We’re still in it right now! I was just playing TF2 the other day! Seriously! I wanted to kick this new era off right. I wanted to bring the belt to you in style, having had that banger with Rama Raju, who is awesome by the way, but that wasn’t enough. So I told “The Rumble” to start lining them up Bushido style! If we’re going to blaze a trail here we come out swinging, and I think Hazen ought to blaze a trail, cause that body hair is making ME jealous! I hope you’re resting up back there, and planning to smash my face in. I thought about talking trash to rile you up, but you should already be hungry enough, and if you’re not, you’re gonna get hurt. Hey, I’m a nicer guy these days. I’ve got to a point where I’m trying to ask God what I can do for him, and not always what he can do for me. Yep, he’s talking about God now. Listen, that makes me a Renegade these days. You want to stand out? You want to be different? That’s what God wants too as it turns out. God is real and he loves you. Hey, you might want the Bad Man talking trash right now, but I’m still bad! I’m still the Bad Man! For example, I’m praying for you with your consent! How about that huh? No? Fine then, let’s put it this way. Hazen, you should very much consider giving your soul to the Lord, because in the main event your a-.....BUTT belongs to me! BOOSH!

4.. Singles: Dougie Mach vs. Pucky
-The red-headed goofball had been absent for quite some time, leaving fans wondering if Dougie Mach still had the magic that had made him a fan favorite. Across the ring stood his opponent, Pucky, the foul-mouthed former hockey player known for his rough and unapologetic style. As the bell rang, Dougie Mach stepped into the ring, a big grin on full display. He playfully mimicked Pucky's tough-guy stance, much to the amusement of the crowd. Pucky, however, didn't seem to appreciate the mockery and immediately charged at Dougie, throwing wild haymakers. Dougie's agility and sense of humor were on full display as he dodged Pucky's furious punches. But it wasn't all fun and games. Pucky, still seething, managed to land a brutal clothesline that sent Dougie sprawling to the mat. The crowd's amusement turned to concern as Pucky unleashed a barrage of stiff kicks and punches on his fallen opponent. Just when it seemed like Dougie Mach might be in over his head, he mustered his resilience and managed to turn the tide. With a sudden burst of energy, he caught Pucky off-guard, hooking both of his arms and driving him face-first into the canvas with a crisp Double Arm DDT for the pin.
Winner: Dougie Mach via Double Arm DDT -> Pin

Tommy Dukes: Dougie Mach with the win! What a comeback for the Ginger Mach! Pucky is cursing up a storm at ringside, as Dougie attempts to do something. I think he’s trying to do a magic trick? He used to do those I remember, but that’s more of an El Mago/Tony Wonder sort of thing these days. Maybe even Alison Chains too? She said at one she was a Stripper Magician.

Nerma: And why would you remember something like that?

Tommy Dukes: Stripper Magician is a very hard job title to forget!

Nerma: Well…you might be right, and I guess the timing is good too, cause up next we have Dem Girlz, Hope Mach, and Rhea Rampage challenging Women’s World Champion Wendy Mustang, Lainey Strong, Alison Chains, AND a mystery partner. Whomst’ve is this mystery partner? Well we’re about…to….find….OUT! IT’S-




EBW Original Paula made her entrance to a huge reaction.

Nerma: PAULA! PAULA JOINS THE RENEGADES! THAT’S ONE MORE FOR THE GOOD GUYS!

5. 8-Women Tag: Jenny James/Jessy James/Hope Mach/Rhea Rampage vs. Wendy Mustang/Lainey Strong/Alison Chains/Paula
-The anticipation was palpable as two teams of fierce Lady Renegades prepared for an intense 8-woman tag team match. On one side, Jenny James, Jessy James, Hope Mach, and Rhea Rampage, and on the other, Wendy Mustang, Lainey Strong, Alison Chains, and a mystery partner. The crowd was eager to see who would be joining the champ's team, and expectations were met and exceeded when a familiar theme played. The match began with Jessy James and Lainey Strong squaring off in the center of the ring. The two locked up, showcasing their grappling skills and power. Jessy gained the upper hand after a brash slap to the face, with a well-executed suplex, tagging in her partner, Rhea Rampage. Rampage, known for her raw power and aggressive style, unleashed a series of devastating strikes on Lainey Strong. With an Celtic whip into the ropes, Rampage sent Strong charging back into her corner, where she made a quick tag to Wendy Mustang. The champ entered the ring like a whirlwind, using her speed and agility to take control. She cleared house and managed to tag in Alison Chains, who staggered a bit and had to be reminded of where she was. She continued the assault on Rhea Rampage with a flurry of high-impact moves. Chains was relentless, but Rampage dug deep and fought her way to her corner, tagging in Hope Mach. Hope Mach, a force to be reckoned with, took charge and unleashed a barrage of powerful kicks and suplexes on Alison Chains. She tagged in her partner, Jenny James, who continued the punishment. The teamwork of Jenny and Hope was evident as they executed a double suplex on Chains, leaving her reeling. With the match reaching a critical point, the action spilled outside the ring. Bodies flew, and the crowd erupted as the fierce competitors brawled at ringside. In the midst of the chaos, Paula managed to isolate Jessy James in the ring. Paula, known for her submission skills, locked in her signature move, the Sharpshooter, on Jessie James. The pain surged through Jessie's body as Paula torqued the hold. Despite her best efforts, Jessy couldn't reach the ropes, and with the crowd urging her on, she had no choice but to submit.
Winners: Paula via Sharpshooter on Jessy James -> Submission

Nerma: Paula made Jessy James tap out! She had such control, and pulled her into the center of the ring. That is years of experience and honing her craft. This is one Mother you don’t want to mess with.

Tommy Dukes: You love to see it, and Wendy Mustang looks very pleased with herself, bringing in Paula, but you have to wonder how they know each other, or why Paula came in to join with Wendy?

Nerma: No wait, I think we have our answer. The EBW OG herself is pointing at that Women’s World Championship. She wants a shot at the World Championship, the true top title in Women’s Wrestling. These Lady Renegades just teamed up, but they might be facing off sooner rather than later.

Tommy Dukes: …Hey what was Christy Angel doing backstage?

Nerma: “The Rumble” did say he had surprises.

6. Singles: Benjamin vs. Isiah Muscle
-The next match saw Benjamin take on Isiah Muscle, in his first test of being on his own, without the Dan Club to back him up. The E1 Runner Up and Isiah circled each other, eyeing each other warily. Isiah feigned a bit of the gun show, but lunged first instead, attempting to catch Benjamin off guard with a clothesline, but Benjamin saw it coming. He ducked under the outstretched arm and countered with a swift kick to Isiah's midsection. Isiah stumbled back, clutching his abdomen in pain. Benjamin capitalized on the moment, delivering a series of lightning-fast punches that sent Isiah reeling into the ropes. With a powerful Celtic whip, Benjamin sent Isiah hurtling across the ring. Isiah crashed into the turnbuckle with a resounding thud. Benjamin charged at his downed opponent, aiming to finish the match early. But Isiah, ever the opportunist, raked Benjamin's eyes, causing him to stagger back in pain. The referee warned Isiah about his dirty tactics, but the young heel just grinned. Isiah seized the advantage and began a brutal assault on Benjamin. He targeted Benjamin's back, using punishing suplexes and power slams to wear him down. Isiah played to the crowd, mocking Benjamin with each move, further fueling the fans' desire to see Isiah defeated. However, Benjamin was not one to give up easily. He fought through the pain, rallying the crowd behind him. With a sudden burst of energy, he countered one of Isiah's attacks with a jaw-dropping DDT, and a Spear that sent Muscle to the outside, where Mike Thunder helped his son up and mouthed off at the Mystic Bout Machine. As the match progressed, Benjamin and Isiah exchanged blows and near falls, each refusing to give in. The finish came when Isiah attempted a devastating piledriver. But Benjamin reversed it, hoisting Isiah onto his shoulders and adjusting for his big Masamune Brainbuster! Benji pinned Isiah, but Mike put his foot on the rope. The ref broke the count, so Benji pulled Isiah away from the ropes, and instead locked in a Cross Face just out of Mike's reach. Isiah had no choice but to tap out, giving Benji the win.
Winner: Benjamin via Masamune x Cross Face -> Submission

Tommy Dukes: It is JUST NOT the night for Samurai Ifrit. Mike Thunder is the only one who didn’t suffer a defeat tonight, and that’s because he wasn’t in a match! Who knows what would have happened otherwise. Benji showed that he’s ready to take this brand by storm, with that Submission victory. He used the tools we knew about, and then showed us something new. It’s the perfect place for the Warrior of Light, but for once he’s going it alone. The people love him though. They bring that Dan Club energy he needs. You can feel it.

Nerma: And with that we come to our main event. Renegades, we are minutes away from Trevor Mach versus Hazen for the World Championship, and the match is held under Bushido Rules!

Backstage

Miss Xtra: Miss Xtra back again, and I’m looking for Hazen! I wanted to get a word from the #1 Contender before he goes out for this big match up, but instead I found Dougie, so I’m dealing with that.

Dougie Mach: Thank you? Hey, let’s not forget I’m a former World Champion. Last time Havok got started, the show revolved around me!

Miss Xtra: …Might explain why I didn’t watch it?

Dougie Mach: What’s that?! What’s with the attitude?! What did I do?

Miss Xtra: You weren’t exactly the nicest guy back then.

Dougie Mach: Mach Curse! We all go a little Heel sometimes! It’s FINE! We’re cool now! I mean my cousin has not invited me into Blood 4 Blood, but I figure it’s only a matter of time. Look, I spent a lot of time off working on myself, rehabbing from injuries, attempting to dye my hair in a way where the red wouldn’t bleed through, and I’m a new and improved Dougie Mach! Just you wait and see. I’m not only more talented in the ring, but I’m confident too! I’m so confid-

Rhea Rampage: HEY!

Dougie Mach: AH!

Rhea Rampage: Where is Hope Mach? You seen her? I wanted to you have a word about getting her and her pals to step it up in the future! I can’t believe we lost on the debut! I mean Paula is a GOAT, don’t get me wrong, but Alison Chains was on that team. I lost to Alison Chains by proxy. How do you think I’m supposed to deal with that! I’m just so frustrated! I need to take out my aggression on something….*looks over to Dougie* or…someONE.

Dougie Mach: Huh?

Rhea stepped towards Dougie, and he meekly backed up against the wall. The taller Rhea loomed over him, as she pinned him to the wall and put her hand up above him.

Rhea Rampage: Heh…you’ll do.

Dougie Mach: ….AAAAHHHH!!!

7. World Championship Bushido Rules: Trevor Mach(c) vs. Hazen
-Main event time, as Trevor Mach, the World Champion, took on Hazen, who earned the right to face him at the beginning of the night. Trevor Mach circled Hazen, his eyes locked on his opponent, studying his movements. Hazen, with a sinister grin, beckoned Trevor to engage. With a quick feint, Trevor closed the distance, and the two fighters collided in a flurry of strikes. Trevor showcased his wildness and speed, darting in and out, peppering Hazen with a series of rapid punches and kicks. Hazen, however, proved to be a formidable adversary, absorbing the blows with his imposing frame and returning fire with powerful hooks and kicks of his own. The ebb and flow of the fight were like a symphony of brutality. Trevor sought to wear Hazen down with his chaotic style, constantly changing levels and mixing in takedowns. Hazen, relying on his brute strength, tried to overpower Trevor with every exchange, attempting to land a knockout blow. As the match progressed, Trevor's confidence never wavered. He danced on the edge of danger, daring Hazen to keep up, seemingly reborn and moving better than he had in some time. A spinning backfist caught Hazen off guard, staggering him momentarily. Trevor seized the opportunity and unleashed a barrage of strikes, connecting with a brutal knee that rocked Hazen. But Hazen, fueled by sheer determination, fought through the adversity. With a mighty surge of power, he grabbed Trevor and executed a spine-rattling slam. The impact reverberated through the ring, and the crowd gasped in awe. Trevor's resilience was on full display as he managed to escape Hazen's ground and pound. In the final moments of the match, both fighters were battered and bloodied, but they refused to back down. Trevor unleashed a wild spinning kick that grazed Hazen's temple, sending him stumbling. Seeing his chance and surprised that his back wasn't killing him, Trevor pounced, locking Hazen in a tight guillotine choke. Hazen's face turned crimson as he struggled to break free, but Trevor's grip was unrelenting. The referee stopped the match, awarding the win and defense to the Unchained Renegade Trevor Mach.
Winner: Trevor Mach via Guillotine Choke -> Referee Stoppage -> Title Defense!

Tommy Dukes: That’s a big win for Trevor Mach, and here comes Little Mac and Subculture to celebrate the big wi-WATCH OUT!

Suddenly, the ring was filled with four figures who hit the ring and battered Mach, Mac, and Subculture. Picky Minch quickly limped down to the ring only to get taken out as well. All four figures were dressed in black and silver, with metal masks, but two of them quickly ripped their masks off to reveal…

Tommy Dukes: NESS AND POO!? What is going on here?! The EBW originals have returned! Ness and Poo are back! What has finally brought Ness back into action, and why are he, Poo, and these two others attacking like this!

Nerma: Wait, one of the masked men is holding up a sign! Ness is pointing at it. What does it say?!



Tommy Dukes and Nerma: METAL MILITIA?!

Makoto Kino: Makoto Kino here, and I’m excited for another installment of Xcite, aren’t you? The new era has been surprising, in more ways than one, and I know the whole roster is ready for the unexpected now. Here comes Jammer and Vape. You guys aren’t-

Vape: Did you fart?

Makoto Kino: Excuse me?

Vape: Did you fart?

Makoto Kino: What?! *blush* Why are you aski-

Vape: Cause you just blew me away.

Makoto Kino: ….

Vape: Eh?

Jammer: I told you that was a bad one. I TOLD YOU! Why don’t you ever listen to me?

Vape: Seriously though, let me know when you fart… I want to be around…for reasons.

Makoto Kino: …I-I really don’t know how to respond to that.

Jammer: Ignore him. No, don’t ignore him. If you see him where he’s not supposed to be, call for help immediately. Other than that, just ignore him. You were going to say we’re not booked, and you’re right about that. I’m not thrilled about it, but we’re here to support Dan the Man and even Rama Raju. We have nothing against the EBW Champion, but we don’t much care for Razorblade, so that’s a no brainer really.

Makoto Kino: Good to see that Dan Club is still working together…and someone is keeping an eye on Vape. Haha…ha. Oh? Is that…that’s The Preacher! We saw him last week with Razorblade! Preacher, can we have a word?

The Preacher: Oh Mama, don’t be calling me that no more. I once was blind, but now I see ya dig?

Makoto Kino: I…do not…”dig”.

The Preacher: Let’s put it this way. Let’s just say a bald and scarred man slipped me a little too much LSD. Let’s just go with that? You buying it? You should buy it, cause it’s totally what happened. The weirdest thing though, cause suddenly it’s like that LSD lost its potency, and he lost all his power. That cat scurried off, and I had clarity of mind for the first time in a long time. Ra was back in control, ya dig?

Makoto Kino: Now that I CAN dig.

Preacher Ra: But, don’t get it twisted, I’m not done in EBW, I just discovered the NEW path that will lead to prosperity. So, you can call me Preacher Ra baby, cause I’m going to enlighten the world on the power of “The Rizz!”

Makoto Kino: The what?

Preacher Ra: The Rizz baby. If you gots The Rizz, you can do anything! That’s how the bald and scarred man convinced me to join his little audit! That’s totally what happened! I gots The Rizz, and I’m gonna show ya, by bringing in a brand new ensemble of enlightened folks such as myself. Some ya know, and some ya may not, but dig this, it’s gonna be wild, cause “The Rizz IS”, that’s the mantra baby. Repeat dat. “The Rizz IS!”

Makoto Kino: I don’t really want to do that. I still don’t know what Rizz is?

Preacher Ra: You will baby…you will. The Rizz IS!

Makoto Kino: …I have no idea what he was talking about.


"Yngwie Malmsteen - My Resurrection"



Larry Grim: Welcome to Twoson! The Xcite Era blazes on in the Twoson Fairgrounds, where tonight we will crown an EBW Women’s Champion!

Apple Kid: That’s right, we’re gonna see Christina Angel and Erica reignite their rivalry that has gone back and forth for years now. Last year, Christina crushed Eisenritter in one fell swoop, and in doing so led Erica down a spiral of chaos, but it looks like the self proclaimed Queen and heir to the Eisen fortune, is ready to reclaim her spot at the top, but so is Christina. Christina had one of the best runs of any champion following the fall of Eisenritter, but when she was beaten, she decided to have a little fun with Alison Chains. Now, she wants to be the ACE once again!

Makoto Kino: *whew* I had to RUN to get in here on time!

Larry Grim: Don’t exert yourself too much. You’re in action tonight as well.

Makoto Kino: Tell me about it.

Apple Kid: We’ll also see a DREAM TEAM in action, as EBW Champion Rama Raju teams with Bashin Dan to take on Preacher Ra’s new talent. Razorblade has aligned with him, and apparently they have another name joining their growing stable tonight. In the aftermath of the split, a lot of forces are realigning around EBW. It’ll be interesting to see who they have acquired.

Larry Grim: True enough, but let’s stop the talking and get the action in which we’ll be talking over! We’re starting the night off with a Women’s 3-Way Match that will see Cherry Akintola, Hilda Iceheart, and Gianna Rambaldi collide. Let’s do it to it!


EBW: Xcite
Twoson Fairgrounds, Twoson
ENN

1. Women’s 3-Way: Cherry Akintola vs. Hilda Iceheart vs. Gianna Rambaldi
-The opening match saw three hungry women’s wrestlers vying to elevate their profile on the new Xcite Brand. Cherry Akintola, the formidable Deep Darkness warrior, stood ready to face her opponents, Hilda Iceheart and Gianna Rambaldi. The contrasting personalities of the three competitors promised an intriguing clash of styles. The bell rang, and the opening match was underway. Cherry, known for her unyielding strength and determination, took a step forward, ready for any challenge. Hilda Iceheart, crafty and cold, circled her, eyeing her every move with a calculated gaze. Gianna Rambaldi, cocky and arrogant, wasted no time, charging at Cherry with a sneer on her lips. Cherry, the stalwart warrior, met Gianna's cocky assault with precision and technique, countering every move and keeping her on the defensive. Gianna's arrogance quickly faded as Cherry demonstrated her dominance in the ring. Meanwhile, Hilda Iceheart observed the situation, patiently waiting for the right moment to strike. As the match progressed, Hilda seized her opportunity. With a sudden burst of speed and cunning, she launched herself at Cherry, attempting to catch her off guard. Cherry, however, was not so easily outwitted. With a powerful grapple, she turned the tables on Hilda and slammed her to the mat with a resounding thud. Cherry wasn't done yet. She knew she had to make her mark, and she did just that. Lifting Hilda with Herculean strength, she hoisted her onto her shoulders and executed the Deep Landslide. The crowd gasped as Cherry drove Hilda into the canvas with bone-crushing force. Gianna on the outside tried to break the pin, but it was too late. 1-2-3! Cherry Akintola with a very impressive victory.
Winner: Cherry Akintola via Deep Landslide on Hilda Iceheart -> Pin

Makoto Kino: Wow! Both Gianna and Hilda seemed to want a piece of Cherry Akintola, but she really stepped it up here. She is constantly training and improving, I’ve seen it myself, and that work is paying off tremendously!

Apple Kid: She looks the part. That’s some well defined sweet, sexual chocolate and-

Makoto Kino: Minako IS one of my best friends!

Apple Kid: I was just admiring the fruits of her labor! Fruit…cause she’s Cherry! Eh?

Makato Kino: HA! That’s funny!

Apple Kid: Yes, just keep thinking about that. Yes.

Larry Grim: Well that was a fun way to kick the show off for sure! Right into the action! President Swift showing that this brand is where the action’s at.

Apple Kid: We have so much more to see tonight too, including crowning the first Women’s World Champion of the Xcite Brand era! Also, we’re gonna see a “grudge match?” between Makoto and Tracy Angel. Makoto, what is going on with this feud?

Makoto Kino: I HAVE NO IDEA!

Dan Club Locker Room

Bashin Dan was looking over his deck of cards, and placed one down with confidence. The Lakitu panned over to a very confused Rama Raju.

Bashin Dan: You’re supposed to say “Take it from the life!”

Rama Raju: Oh! My apologies. I’m not very good at this game.

Bashin Dan: Well it’s your first game! You’ll get it!

Rama Raju: I’m not sure that I will. I have many things that I am proficient at. I don’t think this will be one of them. I do appreciate the vote of confidence though. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re trying to get me a hobby or something. Trying to throw me off my game?

Bashin Dan: Heh, not exactly, but you’re right about the hobby part. You seem lonely at the top Raju.

Rama Raju: I joined EBW on behalf of my people, my home, and my good friend Bheem. I made a vow that I would strike back at those who harmed us, and I succeeded.

Bashin Dan: You let them all live though, and I appreciate that!

Rama Raju: The cycle of violence needed to end. Children were watching, and that is not what I want to inspire in people, a lust for vengeance. I wanted justice, and I got it. Oh, I’m sorry, you said it was my turn. Here, I’ll play…whatever card this is.

Bashin Dan: …

Rama Raju: What?

Bashin Dan: You um…you just….you just beat me.

Rama Raju: Pardon?

Bashin Dan: You just beat me…at Battle Spirits.

Rama Raju: …Wow…that is lucky. I hope you’re not too ma-

Bashin Dan: FINALLY! A worthy rival! This is going to be awesome! We’re gonna wrestle together, each other, and then we’re gonna have rematches of Battle Spirits! It’s going to be awesome! I’m so glad we’re on the same brand!

Rama Raju: Heh. You are a strange one Bashin Dan….but I like that. Don’t ever change that.

2. Singles: Mav Valentine vs. Rains
-The next match saw Mav Valentine return to singles action after an extended injury rehab, as he took on Rains. The bell rang, and the two wrestlers locked eyes in the center of the ring. Mav Valentine, confident and fearless, extended his hand for a handshake. Rains, however, scoffed and brushed it off, cocking his fist repeatedly instead, a staple of THE BIG DRIZ! The match began with Mav and Rains circling each other, the tension palpable. Rains wasted no time, attempting to overpower Mav with a series of powerful punches and slams, all while cocking his fist, and barking for some reason. Mav, however, countered Rains' attacks with technique and resilience. As the match progressed, it became evident that Rains' was no match for Mav's skill despite that time he won the #EVER Championship, which scientists claim had something to do with it being an extra rainy season or something. Mav hit the Mav Buster on Rains for the pin.
Winner: Mav Valentine via Mav Buster -> Pin

Mav Valentine: MAV IS IN THE HOOOOOOUSE! Hey, when it Rains it pours right? Someone mop up The Big Driz, cause I don’t feel like putting up a wet floor sign in MY ring. I’m back, after way too long, and while I wish I could repay the man who put me out of action, he’s been missing ever since he was beaten in the trilogy. That’s fine. It’s all good. He got what he had coming to him, and I have a friend to thank for that. A guy that showed me tough love which made me angry, but showed me forgiveness when I lashed out about it. I’m just humble enough to say I had some growing up to do. Look at this body, it’s covered in scars, from when I used to smash REAL GLASS over myself to pop a crowd. I was addicted to the reactions of wrestling, but after my time with Bloo- that stable I was in, I learned to truly love professional wrestling. I’m more complete now, and I’m ready for another shot at a championship. I will tag if I have to. I will go after Big Rusty or I will set my sights on Raju or Dan. It don’t matter! Mav Valentine is BACK!

Backstage

Christina Angel: I’m Christina Angel, a multiple time World Champion at this point, but you know what? I’m far from done. My Dad showed me how it’s done. Never give up and never surrender right? That also includes never resting on your laurels. I’m never done. I have higher peaks to reach. How historic it would be to be the first EBW Women’s Champion of this new era in EBW. I’m excited, as excited as I was when I got my first ever title shot. My….mother…showed me how to fight for what you want, no matter the cost. I uh…I think she did. I try not to dwell on the past…I’m looking to the future. I’m looking to become your EBW Women’s Champion!

3. 6-Man Tag: Tack Angel/Geoff Garrett/Magnum PT vs. Tower/Turbo/Hawk
-The next match saw the official debut of the NEW Weekend Wrecking Crew, as Tack Angel, Geoff Garrett, and Magnum PT came out with Red Shirt Security, Point Man, Dungaree Danson, and Brunson Burner. They came out dancing to the technobeat version of Working for the Weekend, except for Tack, who seemed to be overcome with joy for having such an awesome new group of friends to work with. They were taking on the formidable trio of Tower, Turbo, and Hawk—three Eagleland Gladiators known for their strength and prowess. Geoff and PT did the Jackie Fargo strut while Tack stared at the Mars Championship  in the corner, and slowly side stepped towards it, until the referee handed it off to the time keeper. The bell rang, and the match began. Tower, Turbo, and Hawk entered the ring with confidence, their athletic backgrounds as Gladiators evident in their imposing presence. Tack Angel, Geoff Garrett, and Magnum PT, on the other hand, stood side by side, their camaraderie as good good friends on display. As the match unfolded, Tower, Turbo, and Hawk showcased their incredible athleticism and teamwork. They executed synchronized moves, punishing their opponents with powerful slams and high-impact maneuvers. They were adapting more and more to the wrestling landscape. Tack Angel, Geoff Garrett, and Magnum PT struggled to match the gladiators' coordination and strength. Despite Tack's reservations and oddly hesistant tags to his team mates, his team managed to mount a comeback, capitalizing on Tower's momentary misstep. Geoff Garrett delivered a second rope forearm smash to Tower, while Magnum PT executed a spine-tingling powerbomb on Hawk, leaving them incapacitated on the mat. In a last-ditch effort to secure victory, Tack Angel reluctantly tagged himself in. He ducked a big boot by Tower and let the kicks fly, chopping down the big man until the ACE was able to CLUTCH the WRIST and drop the Tower of Power with a WRIST CLUTCH Angel Driver. 1-2-3! Pinfall Victory for the Weekend Wrecking Crew!
Winners: Tack Angel[o]/Geoff Garrett/Magnum PT via WRIST CLUTCH Angel Driver on Hawk -> Pin

After the match, the Weekend Wrecking Crew celebrated in the ring as Tack tried to get closer to the Mars Championship. Geoff Garrett picked it up however, and then asked for a mic.

Geoff Garrett: Ain’t he great? Tack Angel everybody! He CLUTCHED that WRIST and won a big one for us. Those Gladiators are something else, but they’re not Tack Angel tough!

Tack Angel: …Nice of you to say…thanks…

Geoff Garrett: We have assembled a team of men who know how to crush a weekend, but we also crush our opponents in the ring! Isn’t that right Tack?

Tack Angel: ….Please don’t do this.

Geoff Garrett: Oh, did you already know? Did you know that I have a gift for you?

Tack Angel: You’re gonna give me back my belt?

Geoff Garrett: Ha! This guy is hilarious! PT, bring in the box would ya?

Tack Angel: Oh no.

Geoff Garrett: No no, this ain’t Senor Box as the newest member of the Crew, cause we already have two new members in Dungaree Danson and Brunson Burner. Nope, this here is a gift for you! You might have noticed that the Crew tends to sport a very similar hair style.

Tack Angel: *bleeding from his mouth* Yeah…I might have noticed.

Point Man: The Point Man is sporting a mullet too!

Tack Angel: I wish I didn’t know that Point Man!

Geoff Garrett: You however, are lacking a mullet, but don’t worry, we’ve got that sorted out right now!

Geoff Garrett pulled a mullet wig out of the box.

Tack Angel: *screaming internally*

The Crew surrounded Tack, as Geoff put the mullet on his head. Tack passed out, but the Crew hoisted him up and tossed him in the air to celebrate, not realizing he was passed out. They decided Tack might want to crowd surf, and the crowd carried away the mullet bedecked Tack.

Makoto Kino: Oh no! I hope he’s OK! I worry about that guy.

Apple Kid: Who Tack? He’s fine. The people love him. I’m sure they will gently set him down and I think he just crashed into the merch table!

Makoto Kino: OH!

Larry Grim: I wouldn’t worry about him, because your match is next Makoto. Are the other Sailor Sensations going to be joining you at ringside?

Apple Kid: I can answer that actually. They’re off helping Minako film Season 11 of Minako in Euroland.

Larry Grim: Season 11?! That show just came out like a year or two ago!

Apple Kid: FlixNet loves to make 500 episodes of a show you’ve never seen or heard of, and then they wonder how they’re not making any money! I’m happy for her though!

Makoto Kino: I understood that it was very important that most of us were there to support her. I wish I could be there too, but Tracy wanted this match, and I’m willing to have it. I just wish I knew why she hates me so much.

Apple Kid: I think she thinks you have a thing for Tack!

Makoto Kino: *blush* You think she thinks that?! Why would she think that?!

Larry Grim: Um…you guys have been very close in the past?

Makoto Kino: Tack is a big fan of ALL the Sailor Sensations! Why single me out?

Larry Grim: …You know why.

Makoto Kino: …Oh…*blush*

Apple Kid: You’re up Makoto!

Makoto Kino: Right! Uh…wish me luck!

Larry Grim: You’ve got this!

Apple Kid: Against a former World Champion, with a vicious meanstreak? I mean Tracy has girlboss powers…I’m just saying.

Larry Grim: …..

Apple Kid: GOOD LUCK MAKOTO!

4. Women’s Singles: Tracy vs. Makoto Kino
-Makoto Kino, known for her long reach and martial arts prowess, entered the ring confused about the situation unfolding. Tracy Angel, on the other hand, seemed unusually vicious, wasting no time in launching a relentless assault on Makoto. From the opening bell, Tracy's attacks on Makoto were unusually brutal. She targeted Makoto's limbs, ruthlessly wrenching her arms and legs in unnatural angles, causing Makoto to wince in pain. The crowd was taken aback by Tracy's aggressiveness. She would momentarily get a hold of herself and try to smile and play up to the crowd, but something about Makoto continued to set her off. As the match progressed, Tracy's facade crumbled further. She blatantly ignored the referee's warnings, continuing to dish out punishment on Makoto. Makoto Kino, though clearly in pain, refused to give up. She fought back valiantly, trying to weather Tracy's relentless assault. The crowd rallied behind Makoto, hoping to see her overcome the vicious onslaught. However, Tracy's cruelty knew no bounds. She grabbed a steel chair from outside the ring and, with a malicious glint in her eye, swung it at Makoto, hitting her square in the back. The referee had seen enough and immediately called for the disqualification.
Winner: Makoto Kino via DQ

After the match Tracy kept attacking Makoto. This brought out Tack Angel, as he was still trying to rip off the fake mullet the Weekend Wrecking Crew put on him. He asked Tracy to stop and stood in the way.

Tack Angel: Tracy! Tracy, stop this! What are you doing?!

Tracy Angel: What am I doing? What are YOU doing? I’m your wife! Get out of my way! I’m your wife, and the mother of your two children!

Tack Angel: I don’t understand what that has to do with this? Why are you hurting Makoto?

Tracy Angel: You KNOW why? You know why. You just won’t admit it! I know something changed! I can feel it, and I can feel that she’s a threat to me…TO US! *deep breaths* I-I-I *fluttering eyelashes* I’m sorry honey, I just- I just love you so much that I wouldn’t know what to do if someone got in between us! I love you so much!

Tracy unleashed the waterworks as she ran into Tack’s arms. A confused Tack looked over at Makoto, who looked back at him. They shared a moment before Makoto rolled out of the ring and left to the back. Leaving Tack shrugging in the middle of the ring.

?

Erica: It’s still dark in here. That’s mine now. I claim that. This used to be the home of sadistic evil, but it wasn’t enough to get the job done. Even The Preacher Ra has moved on…but I’m still here. I’m here to prove something to myself. The fact is…all of that torture…all of that training…was child’s play. They cut me. They hurt me. They tried to make me sacrifice my own ego, but my ego is stronger than that darkness. It’s stronger than those sadists. They wanted my soul, but I don’t give anything of myself to anyone. I’m Erica Eisen, the chosen heir of the Eisen family, and the Queen of the Eisenritter. Don’t ever forget that. I’m back, and I’m going to claim what it is mine.

Apple Kid: We’re back, and it looks like Makoto is going to be OK. She gave us the thumbs up, so I’m assuming that she’s not bleeding internally to death or anything. I mean that would be PARANOID to assume that right?

Larry Grim: She’s going to be just fine Apple. She’s very tough, and a valued member of the team. Tracy seems to think she has competition for Tack’s heart.

Apple Kid: What? That dude has been a one woman man for YEARS. Ever since he was relieved to find out that Travis was Tracy, and Tess stopped trying to make moves on him.

Larry Grim: Tracy does have her Mom’s vicious streak. It seems that runs in the family considering what I saw on the other sho-

Apple Kid: You watch the other show?!

Larry Grim: Of course. Gotta watch the product!

Apple Kid: …I guess it IS still “the product” isn’t it? It doesn’t have this next match up though. EBW Champion Rama Raju is joining forces with the E1 Climax winner Bashin Dan, as they take on Preacher Ra’s associates. He managed to get Razorblade on board, whom I’m sure still wants a piece of VBW Champion Jammer, but right now, he’s focused on Dan. We’re about to find out just who his partner is right about now!




Larry Grim: THAT IS LOUD! WHO IS THAT?!

Apple Kid: That’s….THAT’S TROY!

Larry Grim: WHAT?! I THOUGHT HE WAS IN PRISON FOR MANSLAUGHTER!

Apple Kid: …He got the appeal?

Larry Grim: Oh crud….get ready Dan. Get ready Rama Raju!

Troy: YOU TWOOOO! FIGHT ME IN REAL LIFE *bleep*OT!

Larry Grim: *sigh* There it is.

5. Tag: Rama Raju/Bashin Dan vs. Razorblade/Troy
-The reigning EBW Champion, Rama Raju, and the #1 Contender, Bashin Dan, were joining forces against the formidable and malicious team of Razorblade and the recently released-from-prison Troy. Adding to the intrigue was the presence of their devious new manager, Preacher Ra, who would stop at nothing to ensure victory for his team. Rama Raju and Bashin Dan, despite their upcoming title bout, understood the importance of working together to take down their ruthless opponents. From the outset, Troy, fueled by somehow even more malice after his time in prison, was relentless in his assault. He targeted Bashin Dan, attacking with a ferocity that sent shockwaves through the audience. Troy's viciousness was on full display as he subjected Dan to brutal strikes and punishing submissions. Razorblade, equally ruthless, used every dirty trick in the book to wear down Rama Raju, the EBW Champion. The two teams clashed in a battle of wills and brutality that had the crowd alternating between cheers and jeers. Preacher Ra, always lurking on the outside, contributed to the chaos by distracting the referee and occasionally slipping foreign objects to his team, ensuring their advantage. The fans grew increasingly frustrated with his underhanded tactics. Troy, seizing an opportunity, delivered a devastating Punt Kick to Bashin Dan's head, a move that left Dan incapacitated on the mat. The "Dangerous Player" was knocked for a loop, as Troy pinned the E1 Climax winner for the pinfall.
Winner: Troy via Punt Kick to Bashin Dan -> Pin

Larry Grim: Wow! Troy with the win after a horrid Punt Kick to Dan. Raju is pulling him out of the ring to spare him from another one. Troy does not care about the health of his opponents.

Apple Kid: Wouldn’t be the first time his Punt Kick led to a death. We’re not supposed to talk about the damage he’s done legally, but let’s just say it explains Danny Leung’s lazy eye and propensity to reject a push.

Larry Grim: You WANT that to be the reason he says No Push don’t you?

Apple Kid: I just want to know why!

Larry Grim: Dude…same. Well this is quite the upgrade if you ask me for Preacher Ra. The Assessor and The Witness weren’t bad, but they were not World Champion caliber like Razorblade and Troy. It looks like he’s going to sign up all the big monsters to unleash on Xcite. The champ and challenger need to be on guard, that’s for sure. However, it’s time to focus on the main event now, as Xcite crowns a new EBW Women’s Champion! Christina Angel and Erica have had some big wars in the past, but a renewed Erica is looking to get one back on Christina. Will she succeed, or will Christina solidify her position as ACE once again? Let’s do it to it!

6. EBW Women’s Championship Decision Match: Christina Angel vs. Erica
-Main event time, and the atmosphere was electric with anticipation as the two fierce competitors squared off, both determined to prove their mettle in the squared circle and claim the EBW Women’s Championship. The bell rang, and the match began with both Christina Angel and Erica circling each other, measuring their opponent's every move. The crowd was abuzz with excitement, eager to witness this epic showdown unfold. Christina Angel, known for her agility and aerial maneuvers, took the early advantage, using her speed to gain the upper hand over Erica. She executed a series of high-flying flips and acrobatic moves that left the audience in awe. Erica, however, was no slouch, countering Christina's offense with her raw power and technical prowess. As the match progressed, the two competitors traded momentum, with neither willing to back down. It was a clash of styles, with Christina's athleticism contrasting with Erica's relentless aggression. Just when it seemed that Christina might secure the victory with a breathtaking moonsault from the top rope, the unexpected happened. Hilda Iceheart emerged from the shadows at ringside. Hilda Iceheart, with a sly grin on her face, reached under the ring and produced a steel chair. As Christina Angel prepared to deliver the final blow to Erica, Hilda slid the chair into the ring, unseen by the referee. Erica, seizing the opportunity, grabbed the chair and, with a malevolent smile, struck Christina Angel with a thunderous chair shot to the head. The impact left Christina stunned and defenseless, and Erica capitalized with a swift pinfall. The referee counted, "One! Two! Three!" Erica emerged victorious in this epic showdown, but the crowd was left in shock by the unexpected turn of events. Erica is a champion once again, the EBW Women’s Champion!
Winner: Erica via Air Raid Crash -> Pin -> EBW Women’s Champion!

Larry Grim: Hilda Iceheart!? What was up with that?! Even Erica looks confused, but happily so, as she hoists up the EBW Women’s Championship. Why would Hilda ruin this main event and make an enemy of Christina Angel?

Apple Kid: I’d love to find out, but we’re out of time. We’ll see you next week on EBW: Xcite! PEACE!

Mrs. Xtra: What’s up my Renegades and uh..Xciters? Yes, you’re Xciters now if you’re on the Xcite Brand or prefer said brand. As for me? I go both ways…WAIT I mean…hey did you guys know I’m married? Yeah, I’m married to Mav Valentine, so maybe I am a little biased, but I couldn’t help myself. He got out of that wheelchair to propose, and now he’s back to kicking butt! He’s a dynamo! The Xcite Brand is offering a lot, and this week, you’re going to see some serious action. Troy is back! He killed a guy! He’s out of jail now. Did you see the dreads and the teardrop tattoo?! Dude is more vicious than ever. He punted Dan right in the head, the E1 Climax winner and #1 Contender. He’s Preacher Ra’s new monster, and he’ll be in action against the mouth of Dan Club himself Jaden Yuki. The Sailor Sensations will be in action when Makoto Kino and Usagi Tsukino take on Gianna Rambaldi and a mystery partner. Those Sensations ARE truly sensational! That Usagi has this dude named Seiya, that seems to have issues using a urinal! Acts like it’s all new to him. Do NOT ask me how I know this! You’d really want to know, but I’m not gonna tell ya! Magnum PT will take on Rains, and let’s hope that Bad News Barry and Blue Rains stay away. Blue Rains is the dreaded arch-rival to Rains, and he’s blue. That’s too much rain in my opinion! We’re gonna have a flood! My Valentine is in action next! See what I did there? He’s taking on-

Vape: I know why you were in the men’s bathroom. It’s the same reason I was in the women’s bathroom.

Mrs. Xtra: Uh…this guy. Vape everyone. What are you doing here?

Vape: I was trying to steal bras from the women’s locker room, but the Red Shirts were too good at their jobs.

Mrs. Xtra: That is WAY too honest. You’re never gonna get a girl acting like that Vape.

Vape: On the contrary. I’ve been talking to this woman online. She wears fur suits, and that’s not weird.

Mrs. Xtra: Never said it was!

Vape: Though she hasn’t texted me in a couple of hours. Hang on. *Texting* Kitten, why aren’t you responding? Is there another alpha talking to you? Do I need to reassert my dominance? I’m getting very angry and I don’t know if I’ll be able to contain my rage much longer kitten.

Mrs. Xtra: Is that her picture?
 
Vape: Huh? Oh yes it is!

Mrs. Xtra: She has a penis.

Vape: …But look at the boobs!

Mrs. Xtra: …That’s a dude!

Vape: …This is like the twelfth time this has happened to me! Oh well, thirteenth times the charm right? HAHAHA!

Mrs. Xtra: Heh…heh…and there he goes. Someone give that man a hug. I mean I’m not going to do it, but someone else can. Mav is going to destroy him on Xcite though. The next match is another in a long line of wars between Dangerous Player Bashin Dan and Razorblade. Ra has Razorblade focused and ready to inflict pain on his old rival. The main event though is definitely the most interesting, as Geoff Garrett will put his EBW Mars Championship on the line against VBW Champion Jammer, and it’ll be title for title! Tack Angel had THIS to say about finding out Jammer was getting the shot before he was.

-

Tack Angel kicked open a door into a locker room, where a waiting Lakitu was.

Tack Angel: Why didn’t I get the shot?! I mean MAYBE I’ve been so distracted by the fact that it was my title to begin with, that I didn’t officially CHALLENGE for the title, but this still stinks! Jammer getting the shot?! I mean, it could be Subculture, so it’s not the worst thing that could happen, but still?! JAMMER?! What, you’re looking at my tag belt? Oh yeah, I got this! *throws down belt* WHAT A PITTANCE!

-

Mrs. Xtra: Tack Angel later apologized for throwing down the title and just said that his blood sugar was low, and I believe that. He’s a hard working good guy that loves his wife, and would never cheat on her with Makoto. I mean, they’re good friends from way back, and she blushes every time he is near, and she’s the only woman he’s not incredibly nervous around, but still…Tack is a boy scout. That’s why we love him. If he were some insatiable sex maniac, I think it might destroy the very foundation of EBW. Glad that never happened! Haha!

SO MUCH MYSTERY! Don’t miss it, because it’s the last stop before our first big event of the Brand War Era! Yes, we’re announcing it with only a week to go, but it’s been implied that it’s coming right? It’s been implied. You’re totally gonna get it.!

Mrs. Xtra: We’re going back to the past with this one! It’s the return of Radical Dreamers! Why? I was told there was a reason. I can’t tell you who told me that. I can’t tell you why. I signed an NDA. I also signed a pre-nup, which confused Mav, cause he didn’t even ask for one. I wanted to show him my loyalty, but now he’s wondering if I have impulse control problems….I do, but I’m NOT going to cheat on him! This show will be available on both ENN+ and ENT+ as a simulcast! We still have matches to announce, but we have some very interesting ground to cover here, starting with the opening match…naturally. So you remember Ninten mentioning that that third show would be added to the line up, and it would be different in the way it was handled? Well, this is how it’s going to go down. The third show will be called “The Storm” and the show will either be an ENN or ENT show depending on which brand owns the Team Championship Rings! That’s right, those rings now also lead to control of the third show! That’s more ratings, revenue, and spotlight for whatever brand owns it. As it stands right now, Samurai Ifrit hold the rings, meaning that Havok technically has “The Storm” BUT, they are being challenged by the Eagleland Gladiators! It’s an Xcite vs. Havok BATTLE! Cade Yaggis will take on CP Munk in a grudge match, since Munk’s suspension will be up by the big event. Dem Girlz will put their Women’s World Tag Team Championships on the line against The Gamer Girls, who have been impressive in defeat enough for Jenny and Jessy wanting to push them to try harder. I tried to talk to them about that, but they just asked me to get them more funyuns. They weren’t wearing pants either. The elite team of Tack Angel and Geoff Garrett will put the EBW Tag Team Championships on the line against Troy and Razorblade, as Preacher Ra attempts to gain some gold for his team of monster with “Rizz” apparently. Blood 4 Blood will go to war with Metal Militia in an 8-Man tag. That’s right Blood 4 Blood will have a fourth member, and it will be the in ring return of Little Mac. Mac trains with Blood 4 Blood, and really keeps them in top shape, so he’ll be in fighting form, or at least we hope so. The ravages of age and what not. Wendy Mustang will face her toughest test as Women’s World Champion yet, when she takes on the legend Paula, who came back for just this reason. The main event though, holy cow that main event! Rama Raju, the reigning EBW Champion, will battle E1 Climax winner Bashin Dan with the title on the line. Will Rama Raju continue his impressive run since debuting at Rumble City, or will Dan the Man claim the top spot once again? Only one…technically two ways to find out, and it’s at Twoson too so…there ya go. WATCH IT!
