VIP Room

Boomtown was seen sitting in a boother overlooking the River City Gymnasium. He was sporting a black eye, a busted lip, and bruised ego, as Lindy Moseby approached him. 

Lindy Moseby: You look like hell…just saying. I don't have a filter. I think it's brain damage from the car accident, but you should see the other guy! 

Boomtown: ...

Lindy Moseby: So you have a rough time at Victory Explosion, but then you bounced back last week, so that's something right? I don't like seeing people pouty. Want me to show you my bo-

Boomtown: Bounced back? I bounced back? Do I have the World Championship? Did I retire Sal Paradise? Am I challenging Colby Roads for the Super Championship at Collision? Bounced back? A win is a win, but I won't rest until I'm back where I belong. I went all in on myself, and I burned a lot of bridges to get here. I survived the Metal Rush purge, the demise of Rufus Poochyfud, and the new management with a chip on its shoulder. I survived all of that, only for Sal Paradise to steal what I coveted most. More than my legacy. More than my prized tank. I'm going to make him pay. It's not a matter of IF….just WHEN. Until then…I might as well enjoy the show. 

Lindy Moseby: So you don't want to see my-

Boomtown: It's Golden Week, Lindy. Boomtown…is going to stay Golden. Always.




Tommy Dukes: Welcome to the River City! It's Swift's hometown, and we're here for Golden Week, and we're here for Havok! 

Nerma: And it's a World Championship Havok this week, our contribution to Golden Week. The psychotic Amigo beat Cade Yaggis to become a Renegade Pillar and as such, he's calling his shot and taking on World Champion Sal Paradise tonight! If he wins, he will be in position to vie for the EBW Super Championship against Xcite's Colby Roads! 

Tommy Dukes: And Colby Roads had some harsh words for Sal Paradise, but none for Amigo. The People's Choice has to watch his back on all sides, and that includes up above, as we can see Boomtown watching from the VIP Booth. He ain't looking too happy. He's stone faced. He knows we're talking about him. He's looking right at us. I'm going to shut up. 

Nerma: Well before we get to the action, if you look in the ring you'll see the sign. We're not just in River City, we're in PARADISE CITY!

The Neon Lights lit up, as the World Champion Sal Paradise made his way down to the ring. He high fived the kids around the ring and even let one of them hold the World Championship before rolling into the ring with title and microphone in hand. He quickly looked upwards towards the VIP Seating.

Sal Paradise: Boomtoooooown!

He scoffed, almost amused.

Sal Paradise: Heh. Yeah, I see you up there. Kid struts around like he’s already won the business. Cocky, talks slick, sells merch with a wink. But see… I remember when I was like Boomtown. Cocky. Flashy. Convinced the world was my stage and my time was infinite.

He leaned in, face softening just slightly.

Sal Paradise: You grow up fast in EBW. You get humbled even faster. So Boomtown, two weeks ago? That was me handing you your first grown-up moment. You’re welcome.

He stood now, letting the World title drop onto his shoulder with weight. His tone shifted—deeper, heavier.

Sal Paradise: But tonight… tonight’s different. Tonight, I face a man I’ve bled with, cried beside, buried people’s expectations alongside. Amigo.

He ran a hand through his hair, the smirk fading into solemnity.

Sal Paradise: Years of history, years of matches that tore the house down and rebuilt it with broken dreams. I know Amigo better than I know myself some days… and that’s exactly why I have to beat him. Because after tonight, after I close that chapter—

He paused, voice tightening.

Sal Paradise: After that, I finally get Colby Roads. One-on-one. For the first time.

The smirk returned, crooked now, battle-worn.

Sal Paradise: Me. Colby. For the right to become the first-ever EBW Super Champion. No big deal, right? Just a little history being written with fists and fire. No pressure.

He threw his arms up theatrically.

Sal Paradise: Just everything I’ve worked for. Just the shot to erase years of second guessing. Just the chance to finally silence that voice in my head that says I’ll never be enough. Just the opportunity to prove… that every moment I fell short, every heartbreak I lived through, every mistake I still taste in my sleep—can be made right.

He looked dead into the camera, voice low, deliberate, with fire behind it.

Sal Paradise: All of it... made right in one. single. night.

He picked up the World title again, walking past the camera.

Sal Paradise: ...No pressure at all.

Back in the VIP Room, Boomtown stood up and smashed his drink to the ground as he considered leaving and going after Sal, until someone put a hand on his shoulder and motioned for him to sit down. The face of the second person in the room was never shown. 

EBW: Havok "Golden Week"
River City Gymnasium, River City
ENT

1. Singles: Carter Grayson vs. Jackson Kain
-This technical showcase between the veteran Kain, and the up and coming Grayson delivered beyond expectations. Grayson established dominance early with a textbook arm drag takeover, transitioning smoothly into a hammerlock. Kain escaped with a standing switch and executed a beautiful snapmare followed by a tight chinlock. Grayson powered out, creating separation with a back elbow before launching into a sequence of arm drags culminating in an armbar.

The middle portion saw Kain hitting a perfectly timed dropkick as Grayson charged the corner, followed by a slingshot senton for a near fall. Grayson recovered with a powerslam counter to Kain's springboard attempt and built momentum with a series of corner clotheslines and a delayed vertical suplex. The crowd came alive when Kain reversed Grayson's Celtic whip with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, then ascended the turnbuckle for a missile dropkick.

The finishing sequence began when Kain attempted his Shadow Kick, but Grayson evaded it, countering with a backdrop. As Kain rose, Grayson connected with a running shoulder block, followed by a picture-perfect spinebuster. With Kain dazed, Grayson hoisted him onto his shoulders, spinning into his Lightspeed Fireman's Carry Drop, driving Kain's shoulder and upper back into the canvas with authority before securing the pin.
Winner: Carter Grayson via Lightspeed Fireman's Carry Drop -> Pin

Tommy Dukes: And that's another W for Carter Grayson! An incredible upset! Jackson Kain is a former World Champion! I mean he won the E1 Climax! He's a movie superstar, and this common man firefighter turned wrestler, just made him stare at the lights for the three count.

Nerma: He had a good showing at The Golden Tournament, but Team Havok were shocked at what Team Xcite's Captain brought to the table. I'm wondering how Little Mac is going to react to that. 

Tommy Dukes: I think we're about to find out. 

Nerma: Oh! We're about to find out! Let's check a look!

Little Mac's Office

Little Mac paced back and forth with Cade Yaggis, Subculture, Television Champion Takumi Inui, Picky Minch, and Dragon Shiryu looking on. 

Little Mac: Team Havok, you saw what Luca Blight is capable of. You saw what he was able to do. The warning signs were there at Victory Explosion, but that tournament sealed the deal. I can't stress enough how much I want you to take this guy seriously. Tali and I fought to bring him in. We knew the risks. We knew the dangers. We knew that both of us had believed we would be able to contain him and use that raw primal rage as our own weapons. I saw a man barely contained at that tournament. I saw a beast. Take him seriously, and bring home those rings, and that cup. Am I clear? 

Cade Yaggis: Speaking from experience, I can back all of that up. He's not just some random new hire. He IS the beast everyone feared he might be….and he's a prick….so I really want to beat him. 

Dragon Shiryu: I've fought his kind before. They've taken me to hell and back. I stood tall in the end. 

Picky Minch: Ya know, with this guy, I take what he says literally. 

Takumi Inui: …..

Subculture: Can I say something? Forget it, I'm just going to say it. Don't know why I ask. Mac, you know what I'm all about. You know that right now I feel like a caged animal. I feel like a dog that's been cornered. If Luca Blight wants to get a close look, I'll break his freaking jaw! Xcite, more like Xshite! Got 'em! 

Little Mac: I was inspired….right until the end there.

2. Singles: Dougie Mach vs. Who Else But Zane!
-A truly unusual contest that perfectly played to both competitors' characters. Zane entered with his trademark exaggerated antics, attempting to engage the blank-faced Dougie with comedy spots including jump scares from a box, fake handshakes, pretend trips, and cartoonish eye pokes. Dougie stood motionless, barely acknowledging Zane's existence, which increasingly frustrated the goofy competitor.

When Zane finally landed a legitimate slap across Dougie's face, the crowd watched in fascination as Dougie slowly processed the attack before mechanically executing a perfect delayed clothesline. Zane attempted to regain control with a waistlock, but Dougie instinctively reversed it into a northern lights suplex.

The match's surreal quality peaked when Zane climbed the ropes for his "Get Zaned!" diving elbow, only for Dougie to wander aimlessly out of position. Zane's subsequent frustration led to increasingly desperate offense, including his "Whoopsie-Daisy" spinning backbreaker that nearly secured victory.

The finish came after Zane's exaggerated wind-up punch, complete with running in place and cartoon sound effects. With perfect timing, Dougie's survival instincts kicked in as he ducked the punch, grabbed Zane's head, and delivered a flawless Dynamic DDT, planting Zane face-first into the canvas. Never changing his vacant expression, Dougie mechanically covered Zane for the three-count.
Winner: Dougie Mach via Dynamic DDT -> Pin  

Tommy Dukes: Dougie is so hot right now. Dougie! 

Nerma: Something funny about that fella. The ginger bastard is on a big roll though, and that's really what matters. Golden Week continues with a hot grudge match up next. Zyro Kurogane wants to get a piece of Boomtown, but he's got to go through one of the men that snatched the World Tag Team Championships from him and Dragon Shiryu. It's Zyro-K versus Hotlanta, and it's next! 

3. Singles: Zyro Kurogane vs. Hotlanta 
-A contest marred by underhanded tactics from the start as Hotlanta—despite being in his hometown—showed his true colors as a despicable heel. The opening bell hadn't even finished ringing when Hotlanta poked Kurogane in the eyes and followed with an illegal closed fist punch. Kurogane responded with technical prowess, executing a perfect double-leg takedown and transitioning to a side headlock, but Hotlanta quickly reached for the ropes and pulled Kurogane's hair during the break.
Hotlanta seized control by throwing Kurogane to the outside, distracting the referee while delivering a low blow, then launching a diving attack through the ropes. Back in the ring, Hotlanta removed a turnbuckle pad while the referee was checking on Kurogane, eventually ramming Zyro-K's head into the exposed steel. 

The match's middle portion saw Kurogane fighting from underneath, weathering Hotlanta's dirty tactics including choking with wristape, back rakes, and blatant chokes in the corner that the referee had to forcibly break. Kurogane managed brief comeback sequences with a series of Hagen suplexes and a beautiful butterfly suplex, but Hotlanta halted the momentum by pulling the referee into harm's way. The big man was going full smarm throughout the whole match, while Boomtown watched from the VIP Room. 

Hotlanta nearly secured victory after hitting a Powerbomb for a near-fall that had the crowd holding their breath. Kurogane's resilience shone through as he kicked out and began mounting a comeback with a dragon screw legwhip and a punishing half crab submission.

The finishing sequence was poetic justice as Hotlanta lifted Zyro-K for another Powerbomb, but Kurogane escaped behind him. With expert precision, Kurogane transitioned into his Straight Jacket Hagen—securing Hotlanta's arms behind his back while bridging into a pin combination. With Hotlanta's arms trapped, he couldn't reach for the ropes or use any dirty tricks, leaving him completely immobilized for the three-count as the crowd erupted in approval.
Winner: Zyro Kurogane via Straight Jacket Hagen -> Pin 

After the match, Generator made his way out to try and get the jump on Hotlanta, until…




Xcite's Mega Dudes ran down to the ring to a huge reaction. They threw hands with Generator and Hotlanta as Zyro Kurogane laughed and watched from the ring, clapping for the Mega Dudes and goading them to tear Hotlanta and Generator apart. Hotlanta and Generator backed up with the assist of Renegade Security, as Mach grabbed a microphone. 

Trevor Mach: Renegades! I see you still know how to GET HYPE! The Mega Dudes were invited, and we showed up! You not expecting us, was a stupid move, guys! You HAD to know I wouldn't pass this up! 

Tack Angel: You've been up and down the roads with us for years, guys. You should've known. We're not afraid of you. Never have been. Never will be. 

Trevor Mach: And you're not afraid of us. I like that. They called you the Wild Cards once upon a time. We were cool until Hotlanta put on the mask. That's ancient history though. This is happening right now. What's happening? You're enjoying your last couple of weeks with the World Tag Team Championships, before you toss them into the pile with our EBW Tag Team Championships, and the Mega Dudes become the EBW Super Tag Team Champions! 

Tack Angel: And we promise you this, Renegades. When we're the Super Tag Team Champions, we'll have carte blanche to go wherever we want, and you WILL feel the power of the Red, White, and Blue in the land of the Renegades. We'll be your champions too! We'll be Eagleland's Champions! Make no mistake, the Mega Dudes NEVER die!

As The Mega Dudes ran to the back after Hotlanta and Generator, Zyro Kurogane was still in the ring. He grabbed up the microphone and looked up at Boomtown. 

Zyro Kurogane: Well that was a hell of a thing, but it's not really my bag right now. My issue is STILL with that douchebag upstairs! Boomtown! I will go through anyone you put in the way, but make no mistake, I'm coming for you! Everyone's talking about Xcite versus Havok like it's the end-all, be-all of this company. "Who's gonna win? Who's gonna lose? What's gonna happen next? This isn't about Xcite versus Havok. This about my boot versus Boomtown's ass! This ain't just a beef. I AM the beef, and you're the bitch!

Boomtown once again tried to leave the room, but a blonde man in a suit jacket once against talked him out of it. 

Backstage

Trevor and Tack got seperated in the back while looking for Hotlanta and Generator. That's when Trevor ran into a couple of fans backstage, with special VIP Passes. 

Johnathan Angel: Oh hey! Look Timothy! That's Trevor Mach!

Timothy Angel: Wow! He DOES look like Uncle Blake up close! 

Johnathan Angel: Mr. Mach, it's an honor to meet you. 

Trevor Mach: Huh? Oh. It's an honor to be met! Hey kiddo! 

Timothy Angel: Hi! 

Johnathan Angel: He's obviously a big fan. 

Trevor Mach: Good taste. Who is your favorite? 

Timothy Angel: Bashin Dan! 

Trevor Mach: Oh…right. The future son in law. Uh-huh. Well, I gotta be going. Security is looking for me, but hey, I'm a fan of your work too! 

Johnathan Angel: What? You know that I'm Kamen Rider Soul?

Trevor Mach: ….Spirit Detective. 

Johnathan Angel: OH! Man, I really let that one slip. 

Trevor Mach: It's fine. People do that alot in EBW, and no one seems to notice. 

Johnathan Angel: Oh! 

Trevor Mach: For example, I'm the human incarnation of Azrael, a celestial agent of death, who was anointed the avatar of the author until I broke that cycle and decided to forge my own path, so now I'm branded/cursed with the distinction of being Malice Rider, no relation to the Kamen Riders.

Johnathan Angel: Huh? 

Trevor Mach: Yeah! You get it! They just do that, and we move on! Well I gotta go! See ya later! 

Johnathan Angel: ….Nice guy.

4. Women's World #1 Contender: Christy Angel vs. Darkness Aoi vs. Wendy Mustang vs. Paula 
-This fatal four-way contender match delivered chaotic action from bell to bell. The opening moments saw Paula and Wendy form a temporary alliance against the villainous Aoi, isolating her with coordinated double-team maneuvers including a double suplex and stereo running dropkicks. Angel wisely conserved energy on the apron, entering strategically to break up Aoi's pin attempt on Paula with a diving axe handle.

The middle portion featured outstanding sequences: Aoi reversing Wendy's Irish whip with a tilt-a-whirl DDT; Paula executing a gorgeous standing moonsault on Angel; Wendy hitting her stampede lariats on Aoi; and Angel connecting with a hurricanrana on Paula. Aoi showed her underhanded tactics by raking eyes, pulling hair, and attempting to use anything as a weapon.

A spectacular spot saw Angel hit a top-rope elbow drop that drove Aoi through the announce table. Meanwhile, in the ring, Paula locked Wendy in a cobra clutch submission until Aoi returned to break it up. The action reached fever pitch with all four women hitting signature moves in rapid succession, creating a revolving door of near falls.

The decisive sequence began when Paula countered Aoi's Darkness Bomber, sending her crashing to the outside. With Paula exhausted in the corner, Wendy attempted a Michinoku Driver on Angel, but Angel reversed the momentum mid-move, shifting her weight to land behind Wendy. Seizing the opening, Angel rolled up Wendy, and used the momentum to secure a solid pin and the surprise three count. 
Winner: Christy Angel via Roll Up on Wendy Mustang -> Pin 

Nerma: What?! Christy Angel with the Roll Up! Incredible! Christy Angel will now challenge Heather Mach, who is watching from the stage with Val Dorado! Here comes Christina Angel, Hope Mach, Alison Chains, and Ripper Jane to celebrate with Christy, while Wendy is just laughing off her bad luck. Paula seems pleased too. Christy has stepped up.

Tommy Dukes: She looks just as surprised as everyone else!

Nerma: Oh wait. Alison is wandering off into the crowd. There she goes.

Backstage

As a shocked Christy Angel made her way to the back, she ran into Cade Yaggis.

Cade Yaggis: There you are! 

Christy Angel: Huh?! Oh yeah, here I am. *smells pits* Heya…Cade…and what are you-

Cade planted a big kiss on her which shocked her. 

Christy Angel: What was that all abo-

Cade Yaggis: You did it! That was great! Congratulations! 

Christy Angel: Wow, I mean thanks, but you-

Cade Yaggis: Nope! Don't worry about me. I know how to climb out of a bad situation. 

Christy Angel: I want you to climb into THIS bad situation. 

Cade Yaggis: What? 

Christy Angel: Why don't I have a filter?! 

Cade Yaggis: I'm just so happy for you. Take this opportunity, and run with it. I am right here to support you. This is so co-

?: HEEEEEEY!

Cade Yaggis: Huh?

Tack Angel was seem running by with a chair in hand. 

Tack Angel: ICAN'TSTAYBUTCONGRATULATIONSCHRISTYILOVEYOUCADEWE'REGOINGTOHAVETO HAVEABIGTALK#WHYSUBCULTUREBYEEEEE!!!

Christy Angel: That's Dad for ya. 

Cade Yaggis: Subculture was right! 

-

Tommy Dukes: Well that was an impressive win for Christy, and I rarely see Tack run that quickly. We might see more of The Mega Dudes after Collision OR the Xciters will have the "honor?" of hosting Hotlanta and Generator more often. 

Nerma: That Wild Cards callback earlier. What a deep cut. You know Trevor reminded him of that one, cause Tack has a bad memory, and Trevor has autism and a photographic memory, BUT they both have love and passion for Eagleland and EBW. Collision is coming soon, but the question is, whomst've from our brand will be World Champion heading into the match against Colby Roads? We're about to find out. It's Sal Paradise taking on Amigo. 

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

5. World Championship: Sal Paradise(c) vs. Amigo
-The main event showcased psychological warfare as much as physical competition. Amigo's disturbing entrance set the tone as he ran to the ring, twitching and laughing erratically, shoving a mouthguard into his mouth and shouting "YEAH!" at the camera. Sal Paradise received a hero's welcome, as he made his way down to the ring, with the fans throwing streamers into the ring as he held the title up high. Paradise attempted conventional wrestling with a collar-and-elbow tie-up, but Amigo immediately resorted to biting Paradise's forehead and scratching at his eyes.

Paradise established brief control with a series of armdrags and a standing dropkick, but Amigo's vicious ground style proved difficult to counter. Amigo targeted Paradise's fingers, bending them backwards before transitioning into a modified wristlock that had the champion grimacing in pain. Paradise escaped with a desperation jawbreaker, following up with a springboard clothesline.

The middle portion highlighted Amigo's mat wrestling expertise with a series of innovative submissions: a modified octopus stretch, a grapevine ankle lock, and a brutal crossface chickenwing that nearly forced Paradise to submit. The champion showed tremendous resilience, reaching the ropes and rallying with his aerial arsenal, including a beautiful forearm fom the top rope and a hurricanrana.

Amigo caught Paradise's springboard attempt and transitioned into a devastating spinebuster. With the referee temporarily down after an accidental collision, Amigo retrieved a hidden foreign object from his boot, striking Paradise across the head. Upon the referee's recovery, Amigo hit a double underhook piledriver for a heart-stopping near fall that had the crowd on their feet.

The climactic sequence saw Amigo lock in a crossface submission center-ring. Paradise struggled desperately, his championship reign hanging in the balance as Amigo wrenched back with sadistic intensity. After nearly a full minute of agony, Paradise managed an incredible counter, rolling through the hold to momentarily stun Amigo long enough to hit the Spinebuster. With his opponent dazed, Paradise ascended the turnbuckle and launched into his Perfect Sky finisher. He came crashing down onto Amigo with perfect precision. 1-2-3!
Winner: Sal Paradise via Perfect Sky -> Pin -> Title Defense!  

Sal Paradise celebrated with the title high above his head, when suddenly he was attacked by not only Boomtown, but the EBW Champion Colby Roads from Xcite! 

Tommy Dukes: What?! What?! That's Colby Roads! That's the EBW Champion! That's Xcite's EBW Champion! 

Nerma: GET HIM OUT OF HERE! 

Tommy Dukes: Boomtown would work with the EBW Champion to beat down the World Champion from his own brand out of spite!? Unreal! Folks, Golden Week has one more stop! It's the Best of the Super CXJ! We'll see you then!

Ted Pettentool: Gotta be, gotta be, Pettentool! That's me! The Tedster is here, and wow, what an incredible Golden Week it was right? I mean Sal Paradise is STILL the World Champion, Minako Aino and Christy Angel both stepped up. Hope Mach became the 2025 Killer Queen, Grind won the Best of the Super CXJ, and the war between the Mega Dudes and the Wild Cards got really heated. Yeah, apparently the name trended so much, that Hotlanta and Generator decided to revive the name….for merch purposes. We are ONE week away from the Collision of 2025, and I mean that literally…it's Collision…it's 2025…and we do one a year. *leans forward, hands open* So ya know, it's true and all. So anyways, we have in that week two massive shows for you. Now, you might be asking yourself, what about Ravage and The Storm? Well first off, you haven't been paying attention to how our format works. Every time we do a PPV we clear the weekend for it. Secondly, that won't matter anyways after you hear the big news I've got got you today. It's so big, it's going to knock your socks off. If you don't have socks on, put 'em on, cause we're gonna knock 'em off! Let's start with what you've come to expect. The cards for this week. We begin with the Xcite card!

The Sailor Sensations will take on the Dark Story in a show of past, present, and possibly future EBW Women's Champions on one side. A HUGE tag match will see the Mega Dudes take on Dan Club, and let's hope for Hope Mach, that the future father-son-in-law dynamic keeps Trevor and Dan from dismantling each other.

Ted Pettentool: Added matches include Tracy taking on Alison Chains and Mamoru Chiba taking on Carter Grayson. Carter Grayson getting a big opportunity to shine in his short career, let's see how he fares against the nefarious and dastardly Mamoru Chiba. Now, you're probably wondering about my big news from earlier. You wanted to know about Ravage and The Storm!? Well kiss 'em goodbye! Hahaha! Sorry…that should be followed up with. It comes with GOOD NEWS, and no, I'm not Gary. The schism in EBW has been chaotic fun, and it's about to be more fun and more….schism…y as EBW introduces a third brand, which is a developmental brand, but is a third brand, but is a developmental brand.You remember the reality show TUE right? The Ultimate EBW? It's back…in BRAND form! That's right it's the return of-



Ted Pettentool: That's right! TUE Wrestling baby! Does the TUE still stand for The Ultimate EBW! No! What does it stand for? Goodnight everybody! 

Larry Grim: Welcome to Fourside! We're in the namesake arena for Xcite, and it's the final Xcite on the way to a BIG Collision in Hanta City! 

Apple Kid: Hanta City, basically RUN by Geist Corporation. I use Geistbook all the time! 

Larry Grim: I tried using the Geister dating app, but it falls apart when they realize I am literally a skeleton. 

Apple Kid: Collision though, right? 

Larry Grim: I'm going to have to find a sentient skeleton woman. You realize this right? 

Apple Kid: With the advent of Ozempic, your odds are going up, my friend! 

Larry Grim: That's a fantastic point! 

Apple Kid: And I'm not even the Point Man! Which by way, I heard he might be making a jump pretty soon…or pretty TUEoon? No? That was terrible right? Tell me that was terrible. 

Larry Grim: It was pretty bad. 

Apple Kid: I tried. 

Larry Grim: And I appreciate the effort. Yes, the Collision this week will not only lead to Super Champions, and some vacant titles that will need champions, BUT we'll also see a third brand forming in TUE! Ness is heading it up, and I do believe a certain CREW that WRECKS the WEEKEND might be helping him out? 

Apple Kid: Good for them, and bad for us. I know Tack Angel will miss his good friends in Geoff Garrett and Magnum PT. I know he loves them dearly. Not sure how he felt about Point Man though. 

Larry Grim: What's not to love about Point Man? We'll see all of that go down another night. TONIGHT, we're going to see Grind challenge Maseo Kurenai for the CXJ Division Championship! Grind won Best of the Super CXJ, and I think it's awakened that fire in him once again. I haven't seen the JET SETTER this ready to go since he inexplicably won the EBW Championship early in his career. A lot of people don't realize that Grind and Switchback were both only 16 when they got into the business, and achieved a lot. Grind is more seasoned now. He's more capable. He's more ready. I've never seen someone so confident to wrestle on rollerblades! Maseo on the other hand has been a revelation for the CXJ Division. It used to be one of the premiere attractions for EBW, but over time it was phased out to try and bring everyone targeting the same things, but something was lost in the process. CXJ just draws out the very best competition. You're going to see that tonight. By the way, that's a LADDER match that's taking place tonight. Can't wait to see it. CXJ action at the top of the card! 

Apple Kid: And we're going to start the action off with CXJ action too, as Johnny Starbound takes on a mystery opponent. I'm not sure whomst've they've got lined up for the job, but Johnny doesn't seem to care as he jumps into the ring with a mic in hand.

Johnny Starbound: You know, I don't really care who I face tonight! 

Apple Kid: See?

Johnny Starbound: The fact is, I'm the best this division has ever seen! I'm better than it! That's why I've broken it down in the past. That's why I've shot for bigger and better things. I'm TOO GOOD to be labeled like this! That being said I was screwed out of winning the Best of the Super CXJ! I was screwed! I'm the GOLDEN GOOSE of this division. Who else can you possibly get with this much talent? These looks? This money making potential? Who could it possibly b-




Java Coffington made his debut for in-ring action, sporting a "To-Go" cup styled head for his match against the laughing Johnny Starbound, who underestimated this hugely popular and wildly marketable mascot, with an incredible jingle for a theme song. If I do say so myself.

1. CXJ Division Singles: Johnny Starbound vs. Java Coffington
-The atmosphere was electric as two contrasting personalities faced off in this high-energy CXJ Division Singles Match. Johnny Starbound, the cocky, self-absorbed former champion, strutted down the ramp with a smug grin, taking every opportunity to taunt the crowd. His flashy gear and over-the-top arrogance set the tone for his performance. On the other hand, debutant Java Coffington brought a refreshing, quirky energy to the ring. With his coffee-themed attire and caffeinated antics, Coffington was the perfect foil to Starbound’s brash attitude, earning loud cheers as he enthusiastically played to the crowd.

The match itself saw Coffington using his comedy mascot persona to his advantage, turning what could have been a straightforward contest into a chaotic, yet entertaining spectacle. Coffington dodged and outwitted Starbound at every turn, incorporating quirky moves and wild, caffeine-fueled energy into his offense. After a series of near falls, Coffington hit his signature “Caffeine Crash” (a Superkick) to the shock of his opponent and the Xciters and took the wind out of Starbound's sails. He followed up with his second finisher, the “Mocha Bomb” (a Swanton Bomb) to seal the deal. Coffington covered Starbound for the 1-2-3, scoring a massive win in his debut. The crowd erupted, and the new face...or mug? in the CXJ Division earned instant respect for his surprising yet well-executed victory.
Winner: Java Coffington via Caffeine Crash(Super Kick) x Mocha Bomb(Swanton Bomb) -> Pin 

Apple Kid: I was NOT expecting the show to open up like THAT! 

Larry Grim: Nor was I! The King of Caffeine Style is here! He just shocked Johnny Starbound, with a blast of rich flavor, smooth taste, and high flying action! 

Apple Kid: Incredible! We may have a new CXJ hero on our hands, and what a bargain for his delicious coffee too, which comes from Cafe Noir, the best coffee in Hanta City, now in your local Drug Stores, right alongside the baseball bats, yo-yos, and pop guns. Drug Stores sell weird things.

Tony Wonder stood in an unknown place, with a snowy backdrop being the only clue of his mysterious destination. 

Tony Wonder: Waaaa! Tony Wonder! That's right, it's Tony Wonder, far…far…FAR away from the El Magos of the world. To be honest, it's a miracle I survived that vortex of pain last week. I mean if it weren't for the healing powers of that giant woman named Taliu- I mean it was ALL A TRICK! I did it all! That's how I'm totally fine this week, because of my own magical prowess! Hahaha! But seriously, El Mago isn't here, right? Good….good. So I was asked to go to Havok this week, but as part of the Collision thing, I didn't ASK to go. I didn't BEG to have a match away from El Mago. I don't lay awake at night fearing the Shadow Realm. No no, I'm totally fine! Haha! I'm…totally fine. So listen, I know what you're thinking. What is Tony Wonder up to now? I'm glad you asked, because before I can scale the mountains of the Renegades, I must climb another kind of mountain…a literal mountain!

The Lakitu pulled back to reveal Tony Wonder was at the base of Mt. Itoi. 

Tony Wonder: That's right! It's my dream to scale Mt. Itoi, and when I do, I'm going to plant the EBW flag at the top! That's going to get me brownie points with the bosses I'm sure! I thought about getting an EBW tattoo as well, because branding yourself, or showing yourself to be a mark for your company, is a surefire way to get ahead in the business! So yeah! I'll be on Havok, representing Xcite, but I'll be doing so as the man who scaled Mt. Itoi! Welp! Here I go! I'd say wish me luck, but I don't need it, because I'm WAAAAA! Tony Wonder! 

Backstage

Jammer was stretching as he and Cheerleader Jenny made their way out of the locker room, after getting a pep talk from Bashin Dan and Benjamin. The Slam Master was looking ready for his big match with Big Chugga Chungus, as he passed by the EBW Champion, Colby Roads. 

Colby Roads: Heh, if it isn't the bronze medal of the three man team known as Dan Club. More like Dan Flub. 

Jammer: Excuse me? 

Colby Roads: You heard me. Hell, the only reason I rated you as bronze is because you can't get pushed to fourth, when your top guy is with me now. Big Chugga Chungus, finally living up to his potential. 

Jammer: By ducking me like a bitch? Look, I'd love to tell YOU to step up, but I know you won't. I'd tell you to put your money where your mouth is, and give me a shot at that belt so I could face Sal Paradise at Collision instead, and give the people a match worth seeing. I know you won't do that either. Instead, I'll tell you to put your mouth where your money is…in your pocket…so shut up. 

Cheerleader Jenny: Oh, that was a good one. 

Jammer: Yeah? 

Cheerleader Jenny: Loved it. 

Colby Roads: Real cute. You don't phase me. You can say anything you want. Like I only got here because people liked my father and felt sorry for me that he died. You could say that. You could say the only five star match I ever had was solely because of my brother. You could say that too. You could say I used to push my wife way too much. That one doesn't matter because I upgraded to Beryl once I ended racism, so you could say it all you want. All you can do is say things, while I go on to become the first ever EBW Super Champion. Now run along. You have a match ahead of you. I'm sure you can't wait to feel the full force of Big Chugga Chungus. 

Jammer: I'm going to kick that fat sack of crap in the back once, he'll fall back like a turtle on his shell, and I'll pin him simple as that. If you're still around when I'm done, I'll have plenty of energy if you decide to man up.

Colby Roads: As if I'd give you or the fans what they want. Wrestling is about what I want. Haven't you been paying attention? This is my story, and I'm the protagonist.

Jammer left and made his way out to the ring as Cheerleader Jenny attempted meekly to shake her pom-poms before tossing them to the side and just presenting Jammer as he failed to sink a single shot from the hoop that descended from the ceiling. He was fired up though. He was pumped to face Big Chugga Chungus…that is until the big man came out on stage in a wheelchair with a sullen Degrees in tow. 

Jammer: Oh you've GOT to be kidding me! I'm not falling for it again! Hell, I didn't fall for it the first time! 

Big Chugga Chungus: Nonononono! Nononononono! Everybody shut up! Shut up! It's real this time! I hurt my back beating your ass last week! My back got hurt from the pressure of carrying you and the rest of Dan Club this whole time! 

Jammer: Carrying us?! How?! YOU NEVER WRESTLE! 

Big Chugga Chungus: Nononononono! Shut up shut up! I was totally going to this week! Big Chugga Chungus is ready to be done with you, and finally rake in all those chicks that are waiting to get some of the Chungus, but I hurt my back, and my calf is like…hurting real bad too! I even got Degrees here to cover for m- prove I'm telling the truth! 

Degrees: *sigh* Unfortunately it's true. He did indeed hurt his back from the simple task of sitting up, and he's not cleared to compete this week. I'm sorry Jammer. Most of you guys are tough bastards and fight through your injuries…but this one won't, and we can't make him. 

Big Chugga Chungus: We've got to be thinking about the future here! Got to protect the investment! I'm finally believing in myself and I believe….that I'm sitting out this week, but maybe next week! That being said…I DO have a replacement again! 

Jammer: I'm sure you do. Prick. 

Big Chugga Chungus: How am I a prick?! What did I do?! What did I do!? 

Jammer: You were a prick! That's what you did! 

Big Chugga Chungus: Hey! I'm offended! 

Jammer: I don't really care! Just bring out the victim! 

Big Chugga Chungus: Fine! Go get him….CHAD SALAD! 

Chad Salad: Mehehehehe!

Jammer: *sigh*

2. Singles: Jammer vs. Big Chugga Chungus Chad Salad 
-The crowd erupted as Jammer's theme hit the speakers, his signature baller gear swaying under the arena lights. The beloved Slam Jam made his way to the ring, high-fiving fans and exuding the charisma that's made him a fan favorite. Chad Salad, replacing an "injured" Big Chugga Chungus, slithered into the arena to a chorus of boos. He literally slithered. It was weird and took an awkward amount of time to get to the ring. The ramp wasn't slick. It was grated. That had to be painful. 

The match began with Salad dodging Jammer's early offense, rolling out of the ring multiple times to frustrate both Jammer and the crowd. When action finally commenced, Salad surprised everyone with a flurry of technical moves, using his agility to keep the more powerful Jammer at bay. A series of arm drags and a dropkick sent Jammer reeling, with Salad taking time to taunt the audience about how unimpressed he was by Tack Angel specifically. 

Jammer weathered the storm, powering back with thunderous clotheslines that sent Salad flying across the ring. The momentum shifted dramatically when Jammer caught a cocky Salad mid-taunt with a spinebuster that shook the canvas. As Salad struggled to his feet, Jammer pointed to Chungus and then hit a cutter on Chad Salad, before going up top to hit the Slam Jam. The referee's hand hit the mat three times as the crowd counted along, cementing another victory for the fan-favorite Jammer. After the match, Jammer celebrated with fans while Salad rolled out of the ring, clutching his back and shouting excuses to anyone who would listen.
Winner: Jammer via Slam Jam -> Pin 

After the match, Cheerleader Jenny drew Jammer's attention to Big Chugga Chungus as he slowly…very slowly got out of his chair and tried to get to Jammer. Jenny attempted to low blow him, but got her arm caught in the grundle. As she gagged, Chungus pushed her away, and she hit her head on the ring steps. Jammer ran to her aid as Chungus quickly rolled up the ramp. Jammer thought about pursuing, but stayed with his girlfriend instead. 

Apple Kid: CHUNGUS!!!

Larry Grim: Jammer is livid, but he's staying with Jenny. Here comes Officer Lainey Strong to clear the path for the EMTs. Dan and Benjamin are coming out to help as well. This is just getting ridiculous. Speaking of ridiculous…here comes Seto Kaiba.

Outside of Fourside Arena

Seto Kaiba: Attention, EBW! I am Seto Kaiba, CEO of Kaiba Corp and future CXJ Champion! For too long, I've watched spiky-haired amateurs calling themselves "the King of Games" parade around this company like they've actually earned anything. Let me make something perfectly clear—there is only ONE true King of Games and in professional wrestling, and you're looking at him! And Bashin Dan? Please. Your opinion means less to me than the opinion of my chauffeur. You can "bash" all you want, but you lack the strategic mind to comprehend true greatness. I'm officially announcing my entry into the CXJ Division. Why? Because that's where HE is. That's where I'll finally prove what everyone with half a brain already knows—that I am superior in every conceivable way! Yugi! I don't care if it's you...or the "Pharaoh", I WILL finally prove myself as superior to you! So if that's the division you wish to duel in, then that's where we'll duel, and I will prove my superiority! And speaking of superiority...

Kaiba pulled out a sleek blue coffee cup with a dragon-inspired logo.

Seto Kaiba: This pathetic excuse for a company that has the audacity to allow a sponsor like that joke Java Coffington? A mascot with a coffee cup for a head getting a roster spot while I had to EARN my way in? Introducing Kaiba Corp's newest venture: Blue-Eyes Black Coffee! Premium roast, championship flavor, and absolutely NO MUG-HEADED MASCOTS! So prepare yourselves, EBW. The corporate takeover begins now. I'm coming for you, "King." And this time, your little friendship speeches and lucky draws won't save you. After all... in my world, money trumps heart every single time.

Kaiba turned dramatically, his coat flaring out as he walked toward a waiting helicopter, and his waiting little brother. He stopped, turned back to face the camera one more time.

Seto Kaiba: I'll show you how to "get your game on" for REAL!

3. 6-Woman Tag: Usagi Tsukino/Minako Aino/Makoto Angel vs. Queen Beryl/Erica/Gianna Rambaldi 
-The arena lights dimmed as a cosmic-themed entrance announced the arrival of the beloved trio of EBW Women's Champion Usagi Tsukino, Minako Aino, and Makoto Angel. The crowd cheered wildly as the three Sensations entered in coordinated color coated attire, radiating positivity and determination. Their light show was abruptly cut by the dark, foreboding entrance of Queen Beryl, flanked by her devious partners Erica and Gianna Rambaldi. The trio stalked to the ring with contemptuous sneers, drawing thunderous boos from the audience.

The match began with Makoto Angel and Gianna Rambaldi, showcasing Makoto's powerful offense against Rambaldi's ruthless technical ability. Quick tags brought in champ Usagi, who lit up the ring with a flurry of high-flying moves, including a picture-perfect Moonsault onto Erica that had the crowd on their feet. The Sensations team displayed excellent teamwork, utilizing quick tags and combination moves to maintain control.

Queen Beryl's team turned the tide when Beryl herself blind-tagged in during a moment of celebration from Usagi, launching a vicious attack that targeted Usagi's knee. The Dark Story isolated Usagi in their corner, cutting the ring in half with classic tag team psychology. Beryl's team demonstrated their own brutal cohesion, with perfectly timed distractions allowing for numerous illegal double-team moves while the referee was occupied.

The crowd erupted when Usagi finally made a desperate dive to tag in Minako, who entered like a house of fire, clearing the ring with a series of clotheslines and a stunning handspring back elbow to Beryl. The match broke down into chaos as all six women entered the ring, with Makoto hitting a thunderous powerbomb on Rambaldi and Usagi connecting with her Moon Tiara Driver on Beryl.

In the climactic moments, Minako appeared poised for victory after her Venus Love-Me Chain submission had Erica tapping frantically. However, the referee was distracted by The Auditor at ringside. When the referee turned back to the action, Erica had escaped and caught the exhausted Minako with a devastating Air Raid Crash. The impact silenced the crowd as Erica made the pin, securing the victory for the Dark Story team. Post-match, Queen Beryl's trio added insult to injury with a calculated attack on the Sensations.
Winners: Queen Beryl/Erica[o]/Gianna Rambaldi via Air Raid Crash on Minako Aino -> Pin 

Apple Kid: Mina-chan NOOOOO!

Larry Grim: Here comes Ami and Rei! They're clearing them out. Astrid and Officer Lainey Strong are coming out too. They're helping up the #1 Contender. Queen Beryl isn't even in the match, and you know that has to upset her. 

Apple Kid: Mina-chan! Don't let that get you down! It's not over until it's over, and you have a chance to break through, and break that worry and fear you have, that you'll always just be in Usagi's shadow. She wants you to embrace your best too! Don't give up! 

Larry Grim: Minako Aino gets her first ever match against Usagi very soon, and that's going to have championship ramifications. Up next though, a non-title match, but a dream match nonetheless, as the Mega Dudes take on Dan Club, and it's happening RIGHT NOW!  

4. Non-Title Tag: Trevor Mach/Tack Angel vs. Bashin Dan/Jammer 
-The Dan Club entered first, their high-energy entrance getting a tremendous reaction from the crowd. They were followed by the powerhouse duo of the EBW Tag Team Champions, The Mega Dudes, as they entered through red, white, and blue smoke and pyro. The reaction was huge, as they stepped into the ring to go nose to nose with Bashin Dan and Benjamin. Trevor and Dan both had wide grins on their faces, as Dan lived for competition, and Mach seemingly wanted to smash a knee into his future son-in-law. Tack and Benji shook hands though. They were good. A dream match was about to take place. A dream match with history, with a lot of footage you can find through EBW's archives. It's not just a dream match because some billionaire's son is telling you it's a dream match. That sort of thing can single handedly lead to the eventual destruction of an entire company! But I digress.

But I digress. 

What followed was a masterclass in technical tag team wrestling. The early stages saw Mach and Bashin Dan trading holds and counter-holds, showcasing their technical prowess, with Dan wanting to impress by out wrestling the Wild Wolf. The future father-in-law responded with a headbutt and knees in the clinch. When Tack Angel and Benjamin tagged in, the pace quickened dramatically, with both men displaying incredible athleticism. A sequence of countered aerial maneuvers culminated in a breathtaking double dropkick that left both men down as the crowd showed their appreciation with a standing ovation.

The match continued with all four men showing tremendous respect for each other while still competing fiercely. Mach and Angel demonstrated their well-honed tag team chemistry with a series of quick tags and combination moves, while Bashin Dan and Benjamin relied more on their individual power moves and creating opportunities for each other.

Just as the match reached its crescendo, with all four competitors giving their all and the crowd fully invested, the arena lights suddenly dimmed. When they returned, the World Tag Team Champions from the Havok Brand, Hotlanta and Generator, rushed the ring, attacking The Mega Dudes. The referee had no choice but to call for the bell, awarding the victory to Mach and Angel via disqualification. Dan Club assisted the Mega Dudes in fighting off the Wild Cards, and the four men shook hands as Hotlanta and Generator laughed and held up their World Tag Team Championships. 
Winner: Trevor Mach/Tack Angel via DQ 

Generator: You thought you'd be able to just come out here, and have this match, without watching your backs? You know we're on the hunt! The wolf is being hunted! We're coming for the prince's head! You're facing down the hottest man! You're facing down the electrifying man! You're facing down the death of your careers! 

Trevor Mach: Death can have me when it earns me! I don't mind doing this back and forth. It's all on the wheel, Wild Cards. It all comes around! 

Tack Angel: And we'll be ready to punch, kick, smash, claw, and RACK our way to the Super Tag Team Championships, for the Star Gazers, for the Pack, for Xcite, for Eagleland, and for EBW! The Mega Dudes do NOT fear you! 

Hotlanta: Biggest! Mistake! OF YOUR LIFE!

Hotlanta dropped the mic and the duo walked away. 

Larry Grim: Well then, what else can be said about that? What else could also be said about our MAIN EVENT! Next up, the ladders are being brought in, for what's going to be an incredible match up. Maseo Kurenai will defend his CXJ Championship against Grind, the winner of the Best of the Super CXJ tournament. Grind is looking to reignite the engines and revive that JET SET feeling, while Maseo Kurenai, the young champ, has high expectations thrust upon him as a standard bearer of Boss M's revitalized CXJ Division. Who will come out on top? Of the ladder? To grab the title? Well let's watch the match, otherwise we're just guessing! 

5. EBW CXJ Championship Ladder: Maseo Kurenai(c) vs. Grind 
-The main event atmosphere was palpable as the EBW CXJ Championship was on the line in a high-stakes ladder match. Champion Maseo Kurenai entered with characteristic honor and intensity, the prestigious belt gleaming around his waist. His challenger, the determined Grind, rolled in with focused energy, his eyes never leaving the championship belt that would soon be suspended above the ring.

Before the match officially began, both competitors showed tremendous respect for each other with a solemn handshake, acknowledging what they were about to put each other through. Once the bell rang, however, that respect took a backseat to ambition as both men immediately targeted the already-positioned ladders.

The early portions of the match saw calculated attacks on both sides, with each competitor working to weaken their opponent before attempting the treacherous climb. Kurenai utilized his martial arts background with devastating strikes that echoed throughout the arena, while Grind responded with technical prowess on wheels, targeting the champion's legs to impede his climbing ability.

The first dramatic moment came when Kurenai set up a ladder bridge between the ring and announce table, only for Grind to counter his attempted suplex by sending the champion crashing through the ladder with a hurricanrana. The crowd gasped collectively as splinters of metal and wood scattered across the floor. Showing incredible fortitude, Kurenai recovered and later returned the favor, powerbombing Grind onto a ladder propped in the corner, bending the metal and drawing concern from medical personnel at ringside.

As the match progressed, the ring became a landscape of broken and bent ladders. Both men were visibly exhausted, their bodies showing the toll of the brutal contest. In a breathtaking sequence, both climbed opposite sides of the same ladder, trading blows while precariously balanced beneath the suspended championship. Kurenai seemed to gain the advantage, sending Grind tumbling to the canvas with a mid-air enzuigiri.

With Grind down, Kurenai ascended and had his fingers on the championship belt when Grind, showing incredible determination, tipped the ladder over. The champion managed to land on his feet but walked directly into Grind's waiting arms. In a moment that brought the entire arena to its feet, Grind hoisted Kurenai onto his shoulders and brought him down with an Electric Chair. He then came off the ropes and executed a perfect Rolling Shooting Star Press. 

Grind mustered his final reserves of energy to climb up the ladder, and just before Kurenai could stop him, Grind managed to grab the CXJ Championship. Claiming the title, and reclaiming his life and legacy in EBW in the process. 
Winner: Grind via Rolling SSP -> Pin -> NEW EBW CXJ Champion! 

Larry Grim: We have a new CXJ CHAMPION! Grind is the champ! Grind is the champ! 

Apple Kid: Best of the Super CXJ and now CXJ Champion! Grind has brought back that Jet Set feeling alright! 

Larry Grim: Maseo is handing him the title and bowing to him, in a show of respect. Grind is shaking his hand and raising it, showing his respect back. That's what you like to see after a match like that. 

Apple Kid: Look over there! Yugi is looking on! Jaden Yuki is watching. Seto Kaiba is no doubt watching as well. Johnny Starbound might be too wound up on Java to be watching. But look over there…it's Switchback. 

Larry Grim: Well, we know what he's thinking right now. The only question is when it's going to happen. Congratulations to the NEW EBW CXJ Champion Grind! 

Back from commercial, Colby Roads stood in the center of the ring, microphone in hand. The crowd booed loudly as his music faded out.

Colby Roads: So, what do you guys want to talk about? I know! Oh man, oh man, OH MAN! Did you all see what happened on Havok? Me and Boomtown, we sent a message that echoed through both brands. And that message was simple: Sal Paradise, you are NOT Super Champion material!

The crowd booed loudly. 

Colby Roads: You're booing that? You actually LIKE him? Need I remind you that I'm your champion! I'm the EBW Champion! See, here's the thing that all you mouth-breathers in the audience don't understand. You think just because Sal Paradise carries that World Championship around his waist over on Havok that he's some kind of hero? That he's destined for greatness? WRONG! Dead wrong! Boomtown and I? We see right through his little act. We see through the hype, through the false hope you people have placed in him. And last week on Havok, we showed everyone exactly what we think about Sal Paradise's so-called resurgence. BOOM! Down he went! And you know what the best part was? The look of shock in his eyes when he realized that his fairy tale story was about to come crashing down! Because here's what's going to happen at Collision. EBW's first-ever Super Champion match is coming up, and everyone expects it to be Sal Paradise's crowning moment. His big finale. His complete story. But I've got news for all of you. I'M going to win that Super Championship. I'M going to be the one who truly completes their story. Not some wannabe hero from the Havok brand. Sal Paradise thinks he can just waltz in here and—

Suddenly, the crowd erupted as Sal Paradise emerged from the audience, hopping the barricade! The World Championship was gleaming around his waist as he slid into the ring behind the unsuspecting Colby Roads. Preacher Ra, The Auditor, and Queen Beryl shouted from the stage to get his attention. 

Colby Roads:—and become the Super Champion? Well, I've got a reality check for—

Sal Paradise spun Colby around and immediately started throwing heavy right hands! The crowd went wild as Colby staggered backward, caught completely off guard.

Larry Grim: IT'S SAL PARADISE! THE WORLD CHAMPION FROM HAVOK IS HERE FOR REVENGE!

Sal Paradise whipped Colby Roads into the corner with authority. Colby hit hard and stumbled forward, right into Sal's waiting arms. Paradise lifted him up and plants him with a thunderous spinebuster in the center of the ring!

Apple Kid: SPINEBUSTER! SAL PARADISE IS RETURNING THE RECEIPT FROM HAVOK!

The crowd was on their feet as Sal Paradise looked up at the top rope. He pointed upward, and the arena shook with cheers. Paradise began his climb to the top turnbuckle, the World Championship still around his waist catching the arena lights.

Larry Grim: He's going up top! Could it be? Could we see the Perfect Sky right here, right now?

Colby Roads was slowly stirring on the mat as Sal Paradise reached the top rope. Paradise stood tall, balanced himself, and then launched into the air with incredible height and rotation.

Apple Kid: PERFECT SKY! PERFECT SKY! SAL PARADISE JUST DROVE COLBY ROADS THROUGH THE MAT!

The impact was devastating. Sal Paradise rolled through the move and immediately popped to his feet, standing over the motionless Colby Roads. He adjusted his World Championship and grabbed the fallen microphone.

Sal Paradise: You want to attack me from behind on Havok? You want to talk about MY story being over? Well here's a receipt, courtesy of the World Champion! And at Collision? I'm going to show you and Boomtown exactly why I'M the one who deserves to be the first-ever Super Champion! The People's Choice is back, and he's not going ANYWHERE!

Sal Paradise dropped the microphone on Colby's chest and rolled out of the ring. He walked up the ramp backwards, keeping his eyes on the ring while pointing to his World Championship. The crowd chanted "SAL! SAL! SAL!" as the show ended with Colby Roads still down in the ring.

Christy Angel was sweating. She had panic in her eyes. She was pacing back and forth, overcome by stress, when Christina walked up to her.

Christina Angel: Christy! Christy! You alright? You're looking white as a ghost!

Christy Angel: Huh? Yeah…yeah…sure. I uh…just didn't imagine I'd be here…in this position.

Christina Angel: It's going to be alright Christy. After what happened at Victory Explosion, I know you have the potential to be Women's World Champion.

Christy Angel: Hehe…that's…that's a lot of work…a lot of pressure.

Christina Angel: It's one of the hardest things period…but it's worth it! It's worth it. Good luck tonight sis.

Christy Angel: ….*sigh*....screw this!




Tommy Dukes: Welcome to our home in Saturn City! It's the Renegade Arena! It's the home of the Renegades! That can only mean one thing! It's time for Havok! Well it could also mean it's convention season again, but no, this is totally Havok!

Nerma: That's the season you buy up all those Funky Pops right?

Tommy Dukes: They're not called that, but yes, and they're an investment! Look, I just got a Java Coffington one!

Nerma: Great. Ya know, he's working officially for the opposition now, so maybe keep that to yourself. We're going to be head to head against the opposition at Collision, and it's just days away. We're going to crown the first ever Super Champions, and when it's all said and done, we'll have two sets of champions who have taken a step beyond what we've considered the top of the sport since the sport began.

Tommy Dukes: This is what happens when you go further beyond!

Nerma: And we'll have four sets of titles that will need new champions. It will be a changing landscape for EBW. We'll also settle who takes home the trophy this year, as Team Havok is ready to take on Team Xcite. Speaking of teams though, we have Team Samurai in action to kick off a show that will conclude with Christy Angel taking on Heather Mach for the Women's World Championship.

Tommy Dukes: Team Samurai is taking on a team that was GOING to have have Who Else But Zane! and Tad Blinko join forces with Xcite's Tony Wonder, BUT…we have some news about that.

Nerma: Tony Wonder apparently…well he…he was trying to plant a flag or something and…

Tommy Dukes: He fell off Mt. Itoi. Now now, I know that SOUNDS bad, but it wasn't like he fell straight down from the top. No, that would have just been a moment of pain, but instead he tripped and rolled down the entirety of Mt. Itoi. Rolled the entire length of the mountain. Rolled. So much rolling. He rolled right into the town of Valentine, but people mistook him for a homeless vagrant. They found him bloody, unconscious, and covered in urine…not all of it his. When he finally got to the hospital, they had the wrong clipboard on his bed, and he had one of his testicles removed before they realized the mistake. They put a fake ball in there, but I'm told it's not quite the same. Needless to say, he was in a vortex of pain, and he's not going to appear tonight. We have the next best thing though….Chad Salad!

Nerma: That's the next best thing?! 

EBW: Havok

1. 6-Man Tag: Zyro Kurogane/Jackson Kain/Mav Valentine vs. Who Else But Zane!/Chad Salad<Xcite>/Tad Blinko
-The opening contest kicked off with high energy as both teams looked to set the tone for the evening. Team Samurai started strong with Mav Valentine showcasing his technical prowess against Tad Blinko, Mav battering the pompous spoiled brat, but the opposition quickly gained control when Chad Salad blind-tagged in and caught Valentine with a cheap shot from behind.

The middle portion saw classic ne'er-do-well tactics from the shenanigans boys as Chad Salad orchestrated frequent tags to keep fresh legs in against the isolated Valentine. Who Else But Zane! lived up to his unpredictable reputation with unorthodox offense, while Tad Blinko provided surprising athleticism for someone of his quirky demeanor.

The hot tag finally came when Valentine dove through Zane's legs and tagged in the explosive Jackson Kain. Kain cleaned house with a series of devastating strikes and high-impact moves, bringing the crowd to their feet. Zyro Kurogane entered to a massive reaction, immediately targeting Chad Salad with his signature intensity.

The finish came after a chaotic sequence where all six men ended up in the ring. As the referee tried to restore order, Kurogane caught Salad attempting to flee ringside. Dragging him back into the squared circle, Kurogane hoisted the Xciter up and delivered the devastating Straight Jacket Hagen with picture-perfect execution. The impact was thunderous, and Salad was clearly done as Kurogane made the academic cover for the three-count.
Winner: Zyro Kurogane via Straight Jacket Hagen on Chad Salad -> Pin

Zyro Kurogane: Let me hear ya, Renegades! We're in Saturn City, and we let it RIP tonight! Send back the Salad, it sucks! I want a refund! Who Else But Zane?! Anyone else, please! Tad Blinko? Who? Anyways, it's a bittersweet night. Bittersweet, because Mav Valentine and Jackson Kain are headed back to Tinseltown for now. They got a movie deal they can't pass up, and yours truly just might have a cameo, but I can't tear myself away from the ring, and you don't want that either, do you? Besides, I still have that unfinished business. I'm not just letting it go. Boomtown, I'll see you later. Team Samurai, OUT!

Backstage

Cade Yaggis was looking around when Good News Gary stopped him in his tracks.

Good News Gary: Cade! Cade! Good News! I get to interview you! Tonight you're taking on Amigo to get your Pillar spot back, but-

Cade Yaggis: Gary. I can't talk right now. I heard something that has me very concerned, and I need to get to the bottom of it.

Good News Gary: What's going on?

Cade Yaggis: I don't want to say in case I was lied to. I hope I was lied to. That's a weird thing to hope for, but yeah…I hope I was lied to. Excuse me.

Good News Gary: …Well…THAT'S not Good News.

Tommy Dukes: I wonder what that was about. Crazy night already, and we're just getting started. We're going to hear from our World Champion Sal Paradise later tonight, but up next, we have 6-Woman Tag action from our Lady Renegades! Christina Angel will join the Women's World Tag Team Champions Hope Mach and Ripper Jane, as they take on the mercenary Val Dorado, Edo's controversial Darkness Aoi, and the striker Mitra Lennox. Let's take it to the ring!

2. Lady Renegades 6-Woman Tag: Christina Angel/Hope Mach/Ripper Jane vs. Val Dorado/Darkness Aoi/Mitra Lennox
-This match showcased the depth and talent of the Lady Renegades in spectacular fashion. The contest began with a technical exchange between Hope Mach and Mitra Lennox, both women displaying their mat-based expertise before the pace quickened considerably.

Christina Angel brought her unique energy to the match, brimming with confidence. However, Darkness Aoi's calculated aggression soon shifted momentum, as she isolated Angel in her corner with methodical punishment. Val Dorado's experience showed as she directed traffic for her team, while Darkness Aoi provided brutal strikes and submission holds.

The tide turned when Ripper Jane entered the fray like a woman possessed because she just might be. Her hardcore background served her well as she brawled with all three competitors, using her natural toughness to absorb punishment while dishing out devastating offense. The crowd rallied behind the Women's World Tag Team Champions and Christina Angel as momentum swung back and forth.

The climax saw Hope Mach and Val Dorado as the legal competitors after a wild sequence of finisher attempts. Dorado, showing the desperation of someone who knew defeat was near, attempted one last offensive flurry. However, Hope's technical superiority proved decisive as she smoothly transitioned from a counter into her signature Lebell Lock submission hold.
With the hold locked in tight in the center of the ring, Val Dorado fought valiantly but ultimately had no choice but to tap out, giving the faces a hard-fought victory.
Winners: Christina Angel/Hope Mach[o]/Ripper Jane via Lebell Lock on Val Dorado -> Submission

Nerma: That's a big win for Christina and the Women's World Tag Team Champions! Val Dorado is looking like that Lebell Lock HURT! Hope Mach has a hungry look in her eyes. She wants more, but Aoi and Lennox are backing off. A big celebration is going on.

Tommy Dukes: Wait…look. Wendy Mustang is coming out. She's running to Christina Angel and telling her something. What is it?


Nerma: Whatever it is, Christina looks shocked. What's going on?

Tommy Dukes: She's running off! Someone get some answers!

Backstage

Christina ran to the back as Cade Yaggis met her, also looking shocked.

Christina Angel: Is it true?

Cade Yaggis: Apparently. I went everywhere I'd normally find her. The Gamer Girlz room….catering…those are literally the two options. Nothing. Apparently Christy was seen bolting from the arena. She ran off. She's gone.

Christina Angel: …..

-

Tommy Dukes: What?! Christy Angel isn't in the building!?

Nerma: Apparently. Word gets around fast, as I'm being told that we've got something from Women's World Champion Heather Mach! Let's take a look!

?

Heather Mach: Oh, Christy... smelly little Christy Angel. All that...for nothing? What happens the second the pressure's real? You run.

She shook her head, still laughing.

Heather Mach: You ran like the scared little girl I always knew you were. And now the world knows it too. You couldn’t walk into the same building as me without your knees shaking. You had one shot. One. And you walked out before the bell even rang. You wanna call yourself a contender? You wanna call yourself ‘ready’? You sick little bitch, you’re not ready to breathe the same air as me.

Heather stepped forward, into the light now — her face cold, confident, dangerous.

Heather Mach: But I’ve been told I will have an opponent tonight. Someone — anyone — brave or stupid enough to stand across from me. And honestly? Doesn’t matter who. Could be a rookie. Could be a legend. Could be a ghost crawling out of the past —because Judas Wolf is ready for anything. This belt stays right here. And the next time Christy Angel decides to show her face again? I won’t just beat her. I’ll break her. For good. In this world, Judas wins.

-

Nerma: Christy?! Why? Come on! You were one step away from immortality! What's going on here?

Tommy Dukes: I don't know, but Little Mac has announced just now, that we're going to have six Lady Renegades square up in a Battle Royale, and the winner will take on Heather Mach for the Women's World Championship in our main event! For now though, we have Television Championship action, as Takumi Inui, one of the best in the business, and one of those Little Mac expects bigger and better things from, takes on former World and Television Champion Boomtown. Boomtown has said he sees this as a step down from what he deserves, but he'll take something once belonging to him anyways. Let's take it to the ring!

Nerma: WHY CHRISTY!?

3. EBW Television Championship: Takumi Inui(c) vs. Boomtown
-The Television Championship match promised to be a clash of styles between the athletic champion Takumi Inui and the powerhouse challenger Boomtown. The early going saw Inui using his speed advantage to stay one step ahead of Boomtown's devastating explosive offense.

Inui's strategy was clear from the opening bell - hit and run, using his superior conditioning and technical skills to wear down the former World Champion. Boomtown, for his part, looked to end the match quickly, considering this to be beneath him from the way he taunted Takumi and the Renegades in the arena.

The match reached a crescendo when both men were down after a collision in the center of the ring. Takumi got up first, and with a flick of the wrist, prepared for the Crimson Smasher. Hotlanta and Generator ran out to make an assist, they got in the ring, but they were quickly cut off themselves, as Xcite's Mega Dudes ran out to collide with the Wild Cards. The chaos in the ring led to the ref calling for a No Contest. As Boomtown tried to attack Takumi from behind, Zyro Kurogane hit the ring, and took Boomtown to the mat with a "Let it Rip" Ripcord Lariat.
Winner: No Contest

After the match the Mega Dudes and the Wild Cards brawled to the back, and Takumi backed up the ramp with Zyro Kurogane, and Dragon Shiryu.

Boomtown: Oh, look at that, you need your pals to help you Kurogane? Two of them are bailing, you're such a failure as a leader, but that's been the case hasn't it? No one trusts you. No one can count on you. You're a failure, and you're trying to use me, pick a fight with, why? So you can have your comeback?!

Zyro Kurogane: You want my comeback, you'll have to scrape it off the back of your Mom's teeth, Boomtown! Oh, what's wrong? She's taken? What hours? I'll take the rest of 'em.

Boomtown: Ya know, before I got under your skin, I used to hear what kind of an asshole you were.

Zyro Kurogane: Funny, I never heard of you.

Boomtown: LIKE I WAS SAYING….I heard about the bad reputation. They didn't go hard enough. You're the worst of the worst. I lost the World Champion. I just lost my chance to regain my other property. So what in the grand scheme. I WILL be World Champion again. I can have the Television Championship whenever I want. You know what I don't want though? A match with you. I feel sick sharing the same oxygen as you. I'll never give you the satisfaction you crave. I'll never give you the attention. I'll NEVER let you get that chip off your shoulder. If Mac threatens to fire me, I'd be more than happy to pop up on some other show. That's how much your MOUTH has pissed me off. Was it worth it? Takumi…I'll be seeing you again when I feel like it. Call me when Zyro-K stops crying.

Zyro Kurogane: …You want a dick measuring contest Boomtown? Is that what you want? That what I'm going to have to do to pick a fight with you? Fine. I'll take out just enough to win.

4. Women's World #1 Contender Battle Royale: Christina Angel vs. Alison Chains vs. Darkness Aoi vs. Wendy Mustang vs. Mitra Lennox vs. Hope Mach
-The battle royale began with all six women eyeing each other warily, knowing that only one would earn the right to challenge for the Women's World Championship later in the night. Hope and Christina had already worked earlier in the night, and Christina had to shake off the shock of her sister bailing on the biggest match of her career. The early minutes saw temporary alliances form and dissolve as competitors looked for any advantage.

Alison Chains confused with her unpredictable antics, at one point appearing to forget she was in a wrestling match entirely. However, her unorthodox style actually kept her safe as other competitors focused on more obvious threats. Christina Angel struggled early, as she was taunted for what her sister had done, and it did get to her.

The first elimination came when Mitra Lennox, working with Darkness Aoi, caught Christina Angel off-guard and sent her tumbling over the top rope. Angel's disappointment was evident as her championship dreams were dashed early. Lennox herself followed shortly after when Wendy Mustang caught her celebrating and dumped her out with a powerful clothesline.

As the field narrowed, alliances became more crucial. Darkness Aoi's methodical approach served her well as she picked her spots carefully, while Wendy Mustang's power advantage became more pronounced. Alison Chains remained a wild card, somehow avoiding elimination through sheer unpredictability until she confused Christina for Christy and left the ring to check on her.

The final sequence was breathtaking as it came down to Hope Mach, Wendy Mustang, and Darkness Aoi. In a display of incredible athleticism and ring awareness, Hope Mach managed to eliminate both remaining opponents simultaneously. As Wendy and Darkness Aoi battled on the apron, Hope charged forward and used her momentum to send both women crashing to the floor, securing her shot at the Women's World Championship.
Winner: Hope Mach via last eliminating Wendy Mustang and Darkness Aoi

Nerma: Unreal! Hope Mach with her second win of the night! The Women's World Tag Team Champion was also the winner of the Killer Queen event during Golden Week. She's racking up the wins, but she has put a big strain on herself here. All these matches, and she still have the main event to go. Hope Mach will challenge Heather Mach. It's going to be Mach vs. Mach for the Women's World Championship!

Tommy Dukes: If you don't like family feuds…why are you even watching EBW at this point! It's FULL of 'em!

Nerma: Up next though, we have a very distracted Cade Yaggis attempting to take his Pillar spot back from Amigo, in the very match he lost it to him in. I'd saw it's like "running back" to the match before, but that's stupid, because the word rematch exists, has existed for years and years, and is the perfect word to describe the match.

Tommy Dukes: "Run back" isn't even any better! It's the exact same amount of letters. It's not a shorthand. It's purposeless!

Nerma: Back to the action though!

Tommy Dukes: Oh yes! Let's do that!

5. Pillars Decision Bushido Rules: Amigo vs. Cade Yaggis
-The Bushido Rules match brought an entirely different atmosphere to the arena, as Cade attempted to regain his Pillar spot after losing it in the very same match to Amigo weeks prior. Amigo was crazed out of his mind, as he shoved in his mouth guard and went to work.

The early going featured stiff strikes and technical wrestling as both men tested each other's resolve. Amigo's experience showed as he targeted Yaggis's previously injured areas, working methodically to break down his opponent's base, and weaked the midsection for the Hagen Hell combo. However, Yaggis's heart and determination kept him in the fight, even as the punishment mounted.

The middle portion saw both men dig deep into their arsenals, with near-falls coming in rapid succession. Amigo's manic grappler tactics played to his advantage as Cade had to fight to escape with no rope breaks.

The finish came after a grueling back-and-forth exchange that had the crowd on their feet. Amigo appeared to have victory within his grasp after a devastating combination of suplexes, but Yaggis showed incredible resilience. In the final sequence, Yaggis countered Amigo's Hagen Hell and smoothly transitioned into his signature Cadebreaker.

The impact was thunderous, and Amigo was clearly finished as Yaggis made the cover for the decisive three-count. Payback for Cade Yaggis.
Winner: Cade Yaggis via Cadebreaker -> Pin

Tommy Dukes: Cade wins! Cade Wins! But wait, where is he going?! Cade, where are you going?

Cade Yaggis: I'm done for the night, I've got to find Christy!

Nerma: Whoa! He's going after Christy?!

Backstage

Tack Angel was still looking for Hotlanta and Generator, when he ran into Christina.

Tack Angel: Daughter!

Christina Angel: Dad? What are you doing here?

Tack Angel: Sending a final message to the Wild Cards before Collision. Plus, I get to see you and Christy, and spread the power of patriotism care of the Star Spangled Prince! Why? What's wrong? You look upset.

Christina Angel: You didn't hear?

Tack Angel: Apparently not.

Christina Angel: Christy isn't here.

Tack Angel: What?! But she's in the main event tonight! I was so excited! I got to be here to see her match! Did she get hurt? Is she sick?

Christina Angel: She left. She ran away.

Tack Angel: No! Daughter! I'm going to go look for her!

Christina Angel: Good luck! *sigh*

Tack quickly ran to the elevator, only to find it was occupied, but he was in a hurry, so he went in anyways. He hit the first floor button and as the door shut, it quickly became apparent he found himself in the same elevator as Subculture and Cade Yaggis. They stood in silence as elevator muzak began to play.

Cade Yaggis: This is awkward.

Tack Angel: Oh you think?! What are you two even doing here?!

Cade Yaggis: I was going after Christy.

Tack Angel: THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING!

Cade Yaggis: Oops!

Tack Angel: Uh-huh!

Subculture: I just happened to be in the elevator. I don't have to look for my Christina. I know where she's at. Hahaha…ha…haaaaa.

Tack Angel: …

Suddenly the lights went out, and the elevator stopped. It appeared to be stuck.

Tack Angel, Subculture, and Cade Yaggis: …..FU-

-

Back in the ring was the World Champion, Sal Paradise, as he was turning on the light to his big neon sign that read "Paradise City".

Sal Paradise: Let me hear ya, Renegades! Breathe with me Renegades! Yeah, it's a hot time in Paradise City TONIGHT! There was a time I thought I was done. Like Boomtown… I believed maybe my role was just to pass the torch, hold the ladder, and lift up the next generation. I had convinced myself that the best I could do — was help someone else shine. That my shot had already come and gone.

He stopped and looked straight into the camera.

Sal Paradise: But you don’t get to write me off. I don’t even get to write myself off. Because somewhere deep inside, I knew…I had more left in the tank. Colby Roads — you’re the EBW Champion. You’re fast, you’re tough, and I respect what you’ve done. But at Collision, this isn’t just a match. This is my moment. This is where the mistakes, the doubts, the pain — the years I wasted thinking I wasn’t good enough — they all get wiped clean. This title on my waist? It’s proof I was never done. But beating you? Becoming the Super Champion? That’s what makes me immortal.

The Renegades rose as Sal’s voice roared now with passion.

Sal Paradise: The People's Choice is not just fighting for gold. I’m fighting for every soul who ever felt like their best days were behind them. I’m fighting for everyone who was told to know their limits. Well guess what? Knowing your limits doesn’t mean you live by them. You can tear them down. You can push further. You can rise again. At Collision, I make history. At Collision, I become legend. And the name Sal Paradise… gets carved into wrestling’s history forever.

Right then, Boomtown looked to get the drop on Sal Paradise, but Zyro Kurogane ran down to get in his face. Boomtown backed off as Sal thanked Zyro-K, who was chasing him down. That brought out Colby Roads though, but Sal turned just in time to see him. They stared each other down, with just days left before their epic confrontation.

Outside of Renegade Arena

Tack Angel threw on a shirt as he was running to get to a cab, when he suddenly saw the Angel Express pull up, which was being used by the Sailor Sensations at the moment. He was shocked at the sight of his wife coming out of the bus.

Tack Angel: Makoto?!

Makoto Angel: Darling! I'm glad you're here! I know I probably won't be allowed in the building and tensions are running high with the brands, but I just had to be here to congratulate Christy. Win or lose, I know she's going to make you proud tonight!

Tack Angel: Uh….we have to talk about that…but first…






Tack Angel: WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR HAIR?!?!?

Makoto Angel: Huh? Oh! Yeah, I dyed my hair! Do you like it?!

Tack Angel: I-I-I-I-

Makoto Angel: I wanted to support Christy AND Minako, and I thought what better way than to join them in blonde solidarity! Plus, I heard that blondes have more fun! Hehe!

Tack Angel: ….WHAT A NIGHT!

-

Nerma: Well, it has been quite the night for all of us, but is it going to be Hope Mach's night? She has run quite a gauntlet tonight. She's been on an incredible roll. It all leads to this sudden opportunity! Let's-

Tommy Dukes: TAKE IT TO THE RING!

Backstage

Hope Mach was limping to the ring, as the other Lady Renegades looked on with respect. However, she was stopped just short of the entrance by-

Trevor Mach: Hope, my little miss. I'm proud of you, kiddo.

Hope Mach: *signing* I'm so glad you're here. Are you going to keep calling me kiddo my whole life?

Trevor Mach: You'll always be my kiddo. You're my daughter. I love you. Heather's a lunatic, go knock some sense into her.

Hope Mach: *signing* Count on it.

6. Women's World Championship: Heather Mach(c) vs. Christy Angel Hope Mach
-The main event promised to be an emotional rollercoaster as two members of the legendary Mach family prepared to collide for the Women's World Championship. The story going into the match was that Christy Angel had bailed the arena and her championship match, with Hope Mach stepping in as the rightful #1 contender after winning the battle royale earlier in the evening, and winning a 6-Woman tag before that. A true gauntlet test for the deaf grappler, and daughter of the Wild Wolf and Boss M's.

Champion Heather Mach entered with her typical arrogance and aggression, the "Judas Wolf" nickname never seeming more appropriate than when facing her own family member. She laughed at the notion of putting the fear into Christy, and taunted her as she stepped into the ring going nose to nose with her cousin's daughter. Hope was breathing heavy, she was wrapped up for the matches earlier in the night. She couldn't hear the fans, but she placed her hand on the ring, as they cheered and stomped. She could FEEL the emotion of the fans running wild.

The opening sequences were technically brilliant, showcasing why the Mach family name carries so much weight in professional wrestling. Both women knew each other's movesets intimately, leading to an incredible display of counters and reversals that had the audience captivated from the opening bell.

Heather's tactics came into play as the match progressed, with the champion using every trick in the book to maintain her advantage. She targeted Hope's arm and shoulder, clearly setting up to prevent the Lebell Lock submission that had been so effective earlier in the evening. The psychology was effective, with Heather showing both her ring intelligence and her willingness to do whatever it took to retain her championship.

Hope's resilience became the story of the match as she absorbed tremendous punishment while continuing to fight back. Her technical prowess was on full display as she countered Heather's power offense with precise submission holds and technical maneuvers. The crowd was firmly in her corner, sensing that something special was happening.

The finish came after a dramatic sequence where both women appeared to be operating on pure adrenaline and determination. Heather attempted her finishing move, but Hope's preparation paid off as she smoothly countered into the Lebell Lock. Despite the earlier damage to her arm, Hope managed to secure the hold in the center of the ring.

Heather fought desperately to escape, but Hope's technique was flawless. As the champion began to fade, the referee moved in to check on her condition. With Heather unable to respond and clearly in distress, the referee had no choice but to stop the match, awarding the victory and championship to Hope Mach in a result no one could have predicted at the beginning of the night.
Winner: Hope Mach via Lebell Lock -> Referee Stoppage -> NEW Women's World Champion!

Nerma: SHE DID IT! SHE DID IT! INCREDIBLE! HERE COMES TREVOR TO HOIST HER UP! YOU KNOW M'S, DAN, AND SO MANY OTHERS ARE OVER THE MOON RIGHT NOW! HOPE MACH TOOK LEMONS, MADE LEMONADE, AND NOW KILLER QUEEN HOPE MACH HOLDS ALL THE GOLD! WHAT A WAY TO END THE SHOW! WHAT A FINAL IMAGE BEFORE COLLISION! GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY!

Outside of Geist Arena, Boss M's was brought out of Trevor Mach's Tran-Am, as her Lucca, and Minky Momo walked over to Little Mac, who shook Boss M's hand. 

Little Mac: It's the big night. 

Boss M's: Whole world is watching. 

Little Mac: Master Lu is ready to see how you're going to stack up against me. Quite frankly, so am I. 

Boss M's: Don't you worry about that. You want a fight, you're going to get one. Just don't go crying to Lu when I spank you in front of all these people. 

Little Mac: Hehe. I've been looking forward to this. 

Boss M's: Getting spanked? You could keep that to yourself. 

Little Mac: Huh!? What? No! I- wait…come back!

They were followed by Geist Corporation CEO Blake Faust and his brother Victor Faust, and a strange third man in robes. 

Blake Faust: This is going to be awesome! 

Victor Faust: Let's hope so. You put our branding all over it! 

Blake Faust: Hey! Come one little bro! You used to LOVE wrestling when you were a kid! 

Victor Faust: …That may be the case, but-

?: What IS this wrestling? Is it anything like the grappling contests of the past? 

Blake Faust: Uh…sort of? Come on Asher, you're going to love it! 

Asher: …A lot of people here.

Backstage

The Lakitus were working overtime backstage, showing Sal Paradise arriving with the World Championship. Elsewhere, Colby and the Dark Story were entering the building as well. Colby had the EBW title on his shoulder, and he kept looking at it, to make sure it was still there, because that's what you do when you know you have a camera on you. Back outside, Trevor Mach hopped out of his Trans-Am with the EBW Tag Team Championship, while Tack Angel emerged from the MEGA Express, fist bumping Rick Shaw and kissing his wife on the way out, as he held his Tag Team Championship up high. Elsewhere, Generator and Hotlanta walked the halls of Geist Arena, talking strategy, as they prepared for the moment of truth.  






Tommy Dukes: Welcome to the Geist Arena! A packed crowd is here in Hanta City to see Havok action! 

Apple Kid: Wrong! They're here to see Xcite action! 

Larry Grim: They're here to see EBW action! How about that? 

Nerma: No, it's what Tommy said. We're at war tonight, Larry! Larry! LARRY! 

Larry Grim: I heard you! Yikes. 

Apple Kid: It's Collision, where the rich elite will gather to see teams of people fighting it out for their own personal amusement. 

Tommy Dukes: What?

Apple Kid: OH! I'm sorry! That was another thing! Forget I said anything! I don't have a head under the table! 

Nerma: What are you talking abou-

Apple Kid: The Faust family is here right? I really need to like…talk to them….I have an invention to pitch! 

Nerma: Whatever Apple, we need to focus. This is one of the biggest nights in EBW history. Not only are we going to see Xcite and Havok face off, but we're also going to crown the first ever Super Champions! The World Champion, EBW Champion, World Tag Team Champions, and EBW Tag Team Champions will turn in their titles. They are all going to be vacated, and three men will make history. 

Larry Grim: We have a big show before all of that though. We have an inaugural event to celebrate tonight! On Collision, we're going to see the Team Ring Championships reactivated with a new purpose. A yearly match up between the brands. 

Nerma: One brand is going to bring home the rings, and the trophy, and it's going to be Havok! 

Apple Kid: You guys don't have Luca Blight! 

Nerma: You act like YOU'RE not afraid of him! 

Apple Kid: I'm terrified! That's a good thing! We have Luca Blight, Rama Raju, Komaram Bheem, Bashin Dan, and Benjamin! That's an inCREDIBLE team! 

Tommy Dukes: We have Takumi Inui, Subculture, Picky Minch, Dragon Shiryu, and Cade Yaggis! We have Pillars! We have the Television Champion! We have a man that punches waterfalls so hard they flow in reverse! We have a great team of Renegades, ready to face your team head on! 

Larry Grim: Then what are we waiting for! Let's do it to it, and-

Tommy Dukes: TAKE IT TO THE RING! 

EBW: Collision
Geist Arena, Hanta City 
ENN+/ENT+

1. Collision 2025 Team Ring Championships: [Team Xcite] Luca Blight/Rama Raju/Komaram Bheem/Bashin Dan/Benjamin vs. [Team Havok]Takumi Inui/Subculture/Picky Minch/Dragon Shiryu/Cade Yaggis 
-This ten-man war set the tone. The clash between Xcite and Havok would determine the winners of the Team Championships for 2025. The rings would go to the winners, but the big, ornate trophy, would go in the office of that brand's Boss, to flaunt whenever and wherever. 

The match started with Komaram Bheem and Dragon Shiryu testing each other with chain grapples, Shiryu slipping in elegant martial counters, while Bheem used raw power to toss him into a corner. Cade Yaggis and Bashin Dan followed, and the power matchup brought the crowd to their feet as the ring shook under each slam. Friends and rivals trading big moves back and forth. Cade escaped a Brave Clash attempt and tagged in Subculture, while Dan went to Benji for the assist. 

Subculture and Benjamin showcased quick tags and slick teamwork, as the Mystic Bount Machine struggled against the unpredictable rhythm of Subculture’s offense. Takumi Inui, always a rock, grounded the action with strong style forearms and precision suplexes.

But then Luca Blight tagged in—and the tone changed. The crowd’s cheers turned to unease. Blight didn’t wrestle—he ravaged. His onslaught was relentless, taking pleasure in stomping Minch in the corner while yelling at his own team to “stay out of his way.”

As the match neared its climax, Picky Minch rallied with guts and a blindside spinning elbow, almost stealing the match. But then Bashin Dan blind tagged himself in, to the utter shock of Luca Blight. Rama Raju dove off the top with a missile dropkick to Cade. Komaram Bheem hoisted Shiryu for a crushing slam. And Benjamin connected with the Sudden Drop on Subculture.

With the crowd erupting, Bashin Dan caught Minch in the Brave Clash and scored the pinfall.
Winners: Luca Blight/Rama Raju/Komaram Bheem/Bashin Dan[o]/Benjamin via Brave Clash on Picky Minch -> Pin -> 2025 Team Ring Champions! 

After the match, Luca Blight immediately attacked Bashin Dan. He busted him open before the rest of his own team could fight him off. He cackled as he grabbed the Team Championship Trophy, and paced to the back with tenacity. Bashin Dan was helped up, as the crowd applauded, and Cade Yaggis shook his hand, showing respect and solidarity with the rival team. None of them seemed too pleased with the actions of Luca Blight. 

Nerma: Well you may not like him, I really don't right now, but he got the job done. That's what Boss M's wanted. We lost that one, but you better believe we'll be more motivated to get payback when we have a year to stew about it! I'm the Queen of stewing! 

Tommy Dukes: It's true. She's holding onto grudges from years ago. Giving them time to…marinate? I guess? 

Nerma: Right. 

Larry Grim: That CAN'T be healthy. 

Apple Kid: WE DID IT! 

Larry Grim: Congratulations to the Havok team for putting up a good fight, but Team Xcite takes the rings and the trophy for 2025. Next up, we have an Xcite vs. Havok match between Tracy and Alison Chains.

Nerma: I tried to ask Alison Chains if she'd seen Christy Angel, but she pointed at ChrisTINA Angel, and then proceeded to honk my chest. 

Tommy Dukes: So you let HER do it?! 

Nerma: Wasn't expecting it! 

Tommy Dukes: Uh-huh. So we still don't know where Chrisy is. We could ask Cade Yaggis. 

Nerma: Yeah, why DIDN'T we ask Cade Yaggis?! Let's get someone on that!! 

Tommy Dukes: Hope Mach shocked the world with her monster run on Havok, and she dethroned Heather Mach, who will STILL be in action, but that's one match away. Let's cheer on our Lady Renegade, Alison Chains! 

Nerma: You guys want to say something about Tracy?

Larry Grim: Not really. 

Apple Kid: We're not fans. 

2. Xcite vs. Havok Women's Singles: Tracy<Xcite> vs. Alison Chains<Havok>
-The contrast was immediate—Tracy marched to the ring with the faux sanctimony of a preacher, while Alison Chains wandered to the ring like she’d wandered out of a 2AM concert—half-lucid, fully dangerous.

Tracy dominated early, taking advantage of Alison’s dazed stumbling, but the crowd never fully bought in. With every aggressive headlock and corner choke, Tracy looked to the heavens in mock piety, drawing boos.

Suddenly, the arena lights flickered. The theme of the Neon Valkyrie blared over the speakers. Tracy turned to the entrance ramp, shouting and pointing, flustered.

That hesitation gave Alison the moment she needed. She stumbled forward, grabbing Tracy in a sluggish—but perfectly timed—roll-up.

1-2-3!

Tracy lost her mind. Alison barely knew she won. The crowd ate it up.
Winner: Alison Chains via Roll Up -> Pin 

Nerma: That's a win for Havok! Yeah! 

Tommy Dukes: And the other guys don't seem too bothered by that. 

Nerma: Don't ruin it for me, Tom Tom! 

Larry Grim: We're just happy to see Astrid playing mind games with Tracy. She thought that the Victory Explosion match was going to be the end of it, but the Neon Valkyrie is definitely picking another fight here. Very exciting!

Backstage

Lindy Moseby: Lindy Moseby here, and now that I'm standing next to you Cade, I can see Christy's attraction. I'd like to take a test drive myself. 

Cade Yaggis: What's with the women around here? 

Lindy Moseby: You're giving off a musk. It's your fault. 

Cade Yaggis: I was just in a ma-

Lindy Moseby: Mmmmmmusk…..Mmmmmmusk…..Mmmmmmu-

Cade Yaggis: Stop saying Musk. 

Lindy Moseby: So what gives? Where's Christy? 

Cade Yaggis: She's fine. That's all I can say. I haven't seen her myself, but she left a text. 

Lindy Moseby: What did it say? 

Cade Yaggis: It says "I'm OK" and then she left some confusing emojis. 

Lindy Moseby: And you trust that?

Cade Yaggis: Only because of the emojis. We got to trust her, and let her have some time to herself. 

Lindy Moseby: …That checks out. So…you lost eh?

Cade Yaggis: Heh. Lots of highs and lows for the Trigger Man, but yeah, we didn't pull it off tonight. We're gonna take a page from a Dangerous Player, come back stronger than ever. As for Christy, don't count her out just yet. I believe in her.

3. Xcite vs. Havok Women's Singles: Usagi Tsukino<Xcite> vs. Heather Mach<Havok>
-Heather Mach stormed to the ring, eyes burning with disdain. The former champion carried herself like a wounded lioness—angry, bitter, and determined to tear down the hopeful image of EBW’s most beloved figure.

Usagi, the radiant EBW Women’s Champion, received a roaring ovation. With a sparkling entrance and that eternal smile, she carried herself with poise—but she knew she was walking into a fight.

Heather Mach went for the throat early—hammering forearms, neck cranks, pulling the ropes for every illegal second. But Usagi refused to stay down. Her resilience became the story.

Midway through, Heather mocked her, screaming, “You’re not a fighter—you’re a mascot!” That earned her a slap from Usagi, then a flurry of elbows and a leaping knee strike.

In the final sequence, Usagi caught Heather’s attempted clothesline, spun out with a tilt-a-whirl, and planted her with the Silver Millennium Slam—then ascended the top rope for her signature Moonsault, the pin, and the win for Xcite's Champion. 

Usagi stood tall. Heather rolled out, fuming.
Winner: Usagi Tsukino via Silver Millenium Slam x Moonsault -> Pin 

Apple Kid: Yeahaha! That's a win for the EBW Women's Champion!

Nerma: Heather Mach was not in this match. She was on another planet, where she didn't just lose to her cousin's daughter. 

Larry Grim: Next up, we have the men stepping up in an Xcite vs. Havok showdown. Dark Story's Mamoru Chiba is taking Havok newcomer Carter Grayson!

4. Xcite vs. Havok Singles: Mamoru Chiba<Xcite> vs. Carter Grayson<Havok>
-Chiba entered to a chorus of boos, his black rose in hand and scowl firmly in place. A villain wrapped in silk, he sauntered, sneered, and dismissed the crowd, and age of consent laws. 

Grayson? He came in like fire. A no-nonsense entrance, red and silver gear shining under the lights. The people believed in him.

Mamoru wrestled dirty—raking eyes, feigning injuries, and using the ref as a shield. But Grayson was patient. Calculated. He weathered the storms and dished out suplexes with thunderous intent.

At one point, Chiba nearly stole the match with a low blow behind the ref’s back followed by a backslide, but Grayson kicked out at 2.9 and rallied.

In the final stretch, Mamoru went for a Powerbomb, but Carter reversed it mid-air, transitioned to a fireman’s carry, and planted Chiba with the Fireman’s Carry Slam. 1-2-3! A win for Havok! 
Winner: Carter Grayson via Fireman's Carry Slam -> Pin 

Tommy Dukes: Haha! Yeah! Carter Grayson with the win! In the early days of M's and Mac being Bosses, it was M's scooping up all the names, but Mac picked up a blue chipper in Grayson. Or maybe a….red chipper? Eh? Eh? 

Larry Grim: To be fair, M's got tricked by her husband to pack the roster with the hotblooded shonen types. 

Tommy Dukes: I see.

Boss M's Office

M's was watching the show with Minky Momo and Lucca as Luca Blight kicked the door open, and threw the trophy onto the table. 

Luca Blight: Behold! You wanted a prize. You wanted the head of Havok. I bring you exactly what I told you I would. 

Boss M's: …You forgot to knock. 

Luca Blight: Hahahaha! You humor me, and that is why I was willing to play along and win this, but make no mistake, the time for cooperation is over. I will be claiming what I want. I will be satiating my blood lust. 

Boss M's: I can see that, with what you did to Dan. 

Luca Blight: Does that upset you? 

Boss M's: Not really. The future son-in-law is one of those hot blooded shonen punks. You shouldn't try to piss me off though. That would be a mistake. 

Luca Blight: No, the mistake was letting me in. I can conquer from the inside, to my heart's content. Your brand…is now my brand. You just don't know it yet. 

Boss M's: …You're gonna pay for that door. 

Luca Blight: Make your jokes. You will need moments to look back on brighter days, once I paint the sky with blood. 

Boss M's: I'm guessing you're turning down my other offer? 

Luca Blight: I'm sure you'll find lesser mercenaries to do your dirty work. 

Boss M's: …Lucca, make sure we bill him for the door. 

Lucca: Right.

-

Apple Kid: She was trying to get Luca for that? 

Nerma: For what? 

Apple Kid: Nothing! 

Nerma: I'd say you know something you're not telling us, but that would imply you ever know what you're talking about. 

Apple Kid: That's right! Ignore me! I'm an idiot! Haha!

Larry Grim: Folks, we make jokes…we do that a lot….BUT what's coming next is NO joke. The EBW Super Tag Team Championships are born tonight, from the best of one brand clashing with the best of the other brand. They are putting it ALL on the line. It's the Mega Dudes of Xcite taking on the Wild Cards of Havok. It's EBW Tag Team Champions versus World Tag Team Champions! It's ALL OR NOTHING! 

Tommy Dukes: LET'S TAKE IT TO THE RING! 
 
5. Xcite vs. Havok EBW Super Tag Team Championship Decision: Trevor Mach/Tack Angel<Xcite> vs. Hotlanta/Generator<Havok> 
-The atmosphere was electric as the Mega Dudes, Trevor Mach and Tack Angel, stepped into the ring against the Wild Cards, Hotlanta and Generator. Trevor and Tack, crowd favorites and seasoned veterans, soaked in the roaring applause while they held up their EBW Tag Team Championships and the Eagleland flag. Meanwhile, the Wild Cards drew boos and jeers, thriving on the hostility directed their way. Both teams handed in their titles to Boss M's and Little Mac. They were then shown the EBW Super Tag Team Championships. One team would walk away with the elevated prizes, and the other would go home with absolutely nothing. 

Hotlanta wasted no time, blindsiding Tack before the bell, causing Trevor to rush in, setting off a furious brawl to start the match. The referee struggled to gain control as all four men exchanged heavy blows. Hotlanta showcased immense power early, dominating Tack with brutal suplexes and power slams, isolating him from Trevor.

The Wild Cards kept Tack in their corner, relentlessly tagging in and out, wearing the big, beefy boy down. Generator arrogantly taunted Trevor, provoking him repeatedly. Tack eventually made a dramatic escape, ducking a double clothesline, and tagged in Trevor, who exploded into action, taking down both opponents with rapid clotheslines and a high-impact crossbody to Generator.

Mid-match, chaos erupted outside the ring with Hotlanta hitting a devastating dive onto Tack. Back inside, Generator attempted a slam, but Trevor countered beautifully into a spike DDT. Tack regained composure and returned, delivering a precise SUPER KICK to Hotlanta on the apron, sending him crashing to the floor.

With Generator isolated, the Mega Dudes signaled for their finishing maneuver. Tack hit the Burning Hammer, while Trevor hit the Knee Trigger. As Hotlanta tried to get back to the ring, Hotlanta hoisted him for the Torture Rack. 

Trevor covered Generator amidst thunderous cheers. The referee counted decisively: 1...2...3! The Mega Dudes celebrated passionately, hoisting their new titles high, as the Geist Arena erupted into jubilation. The Mega Dudes became the FIRST EBW Super Tag Team Champions! 
Winner: Trevor Mach[o]/Tack Angel via The Mega Finish on Generator -> Pin -> FIRST EBW Super Tag Team Champions! 



Apple Kid: THEY DID IT! 

Larry Grim: The Mega Dudes have made history! Tack Angel, the Star Spangled Prince, and Trevor Mach, the Wild Wolf, are the first EVER EBW Super Tag Team Champions! This is history from history, as the careers of Trevor and Tack were always colliding in their own right, and they found the most powerful way to react, by forming what can now be considered the top tag team in ALL of wrestling. The EBW Super Tag Team Champions! The Mega Dudes! 

Nerma: DAMMIT! 

Tommy Dukes: Why are you upset? This means the Mega Dudes will continue to appear on Havok television when they want to. 

Nerma: …Great point! Sorry, I don't know what that was about. It was like an internal gut reaction telling me I should react negatively to the Star Spangled Prince. I have no idea why I'd do that. Maybe the rumors about ghosts in Hanta City are true. 

Larry Grim: They're literally true. Trust me. 

Nerma: How do you know? 

Larry Grim: Besides the local hero that fights them? Look at me, Nerma. Look at me. 

Nerma: Right. You WOULD know. 

Apple Kid: I'm thrilled with a lot of the results so far. We took home the Team Trophy, Usagi is looking strong for her upcoming match with Mina-chan, and the Mega Dudes have won the EBW Super Tag Team Championships, but themselves, the brand, the company, and the whole red, white, and blue of Eagleland! Incredible! 

Larry Grim: We're not done yet. 

Tommy Dukes: That's right. It's all come down to this. The hopes and dreams of the People's Choice, in his quest to wash away the sins of the past. On the other end, a nepobaby sociopath, with the biggest ego in history. I'm not underestimating him. This makes him dangerous. Plus, he's got the Dark Story behind him, and he's got Boomtown's disdain for Sal Paradise. He's got a lot of options to steal this one. Will we see that? Will it be kept clean? We're about to find out. For the last time tonight. LET'S TAKE IT TO THE RING! 

6. Xcite vs. Havok Super Championship Decision: Colby Roads<Xcite> vs. Sal Paradise<Havok> 
-The main event of EBW: Collision brought an emotional and electric energy as Colby Roads, Xcite’s brash and confident EBW Champion, stepped into the ring opposite Havok’s beloved World Champion, Sal Paradise. Colby, clad in extravagant ring gear adorned with gold accents, strutted with arrogance, openly dismissing the crowd's vocal disdain. Sal Paradise, meanwhile, entered with quiet intensity and palpable emotion, receiving a thunderous ovation that reverberated throughout Geist Arena, reflecting the deep respect and admiration the fans held for him. They handed in the EBW and World Championships to Boss M's and Little Mac, while they were presented the EBW Super Championship. 

The match began slowly, both wrestlers circling carefully, fully aware of the stakes involved. The early minutes featured methodical grappling, each competitor testing the other's resolve and searching for openings. Colby soon showed his true colors, resorting to unsportsmanlike tactics—blatantly choking Sal against the ropes, viciously tugging at his hair, and using the referee’s count to the absolute limit. Sal, however, refused to succumb, his resilience shining through as he battled back with intense strikes and expertly executed technical holds. It was evident immediately, that another seasoned veteran was going to drag the 3 Star General to an actually great match. 

The match escalated dramatically when Sal delivered a sequence of impactful suplexes, punctuated by a perfect Hagen suplex bridge pin attempt that drew a loud gasp from the crowd when Colby barely kicked out. Visibly shaken and frustrated, Colby responded with ruthless aggression, unleashing a brutal DDT that left Sal visibly disoriented. He quickly followed with his signature Cross-Roads, seemingly ending the match. The crowd erupted as Sal, displaying extraordinary heart, managed to raise his shoulder just before the referee’s count of three. The Dark Kingdom wanted to get involved, but they were suddenly cut off by Cade Yaggis, Zyro Kurogane, The Mega Dudes, Bashin Dan, Benjamin, and Subculture. The united forces of Havok and Xcite wanted this to cleanly go the distance. 

Colby, visibly incensed and desperate to conclude the match, scaled the ropes for a moonsault, launching himself into the air. At the last possible moment, Sal rolled aside, leaving Colby crashing painfully onto the canvas. Sensing his moment, Sal mustered his remaining strength, lifting Colby and delivering the devastating Control Nekobreaker. Emotion momentarily overcame Sal, causing him to hesitate briefly, fully appreciating the significance of this momentous occasion.

With renewed focus, Sal climbed the ropes one final time, steadying himself for his iconic finishing move, the Perfect Sky. The crowd rose to its feet in unified anticipation. Sal soared gracefully through the air, landing precisely across Colby's torso, immediately hooking his leg with fierce determination. The referee's count echoed through the electrified arena. 1-2-3!!!

Sal Paradise fell to his knees, overwhelmed by the realization of his dream finally achieved. Tears filled his eyes as the referee presented him with the prestigious EBW Super Championship. The emotional triumph of Sal Paradise resonated profoundly throughout Geist Arena. Streamers and confetti fell from the sky. Sal's friends filled the ring and hoisted him up, as he clutched the Super Championship in hand. Boomtown appeared on the stage as a livid Colby Roads backed away in anger.
Winner: Sal Paradise via Control Nekobreaker x Perfect Sky -> Pin -> FIRST EBW Super Champion! 



Tommy Dukes: HE DID IT! HE DID IT! SAL PARADISE DID IT! HE HAS ETCHED HIS NAME INTO HISTORY! HE HAS ATTAINED HIS IMMORTALITY! As Boomtown watches on in anger, he has no choice, but to accept that Sal Paradise has become the EBW Super Champion! He's taking it further than any champion before him, and he'll always be known as the first. Sal Paradise did it! 

Nerma: All hail the new KING of not just EBW, but the wrestling WORLD! Sal Paradise, OUR Renegade, is the Super Champion! Congratulations Sal Paradise! 

Larry Grim: The future of EBW is now in flux as we have vacant titles that will need filled, and hungry contenders wishing to climb up to the Super Championship level. How is this going to play out going forward? It's the wild wild west. Anything could happen. 

Apple Kid: GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY!
