Legendary 36 "Love Hurts II" Night Two - 28 February 2023

[Cedric Southern]

The cameras head backstage to the closed office door of General Manager Tapioca Joe. A muffled yet distinctly female voice can be heard voicing its displeasure. Brianna Matthews paces like a caged tiger outside the locked doors as the intensity of the heated conversation increases on the other side of the wall. As she tries to listen in, the Samoan War Machine Aleki Kekoa steps into the camera shot about to open Tapioca Joe’s door. Brianna intercepts him.

Brianna Matthews: Excuse you! You can knock before you enter someone’s office!

Aleki glares at Brianna, annoyed by her interruption.

Aleki Kekoa: Are you serious? What are you, the door person?

Brianna moves defiantly between Aleki and the door.

Brianna Matthews: No… but my best friend, the 1WM Glory Champion, Justice Cross is in an important meeting with Tapioca Joe. You have to wait your turn!

Aleki smirks at Brianna’s gumption.

Aleki Kekoa: Is that so? Well, I have an open door policy with Tapioca Joe and I’m a contender for the WORLD Heavyweight Championship in TONIGHT’S main event. So my concern supersedes anything the second rate champion of the B-show has to address with the General Manager.

Aleki forcefully nudges Brianna out of his way. Brianna recoils by batting Aleki’s hand away.

Brianna Matthews: Get your fucking hand off me!

Brianna dares to defy the Samoan War Machine. Aleki smirks again and eyes up Brianna.

Aleki Kekoa: You have quite the spunk for a never-was! Don’t you get tired of living in Justice Cross’ shadow? If you spent more time honing in that spunk and less time playing second fiddle to Justice maybe YOU’D be the 1WM Glory Champion or even the Pride of 1WM Champion! I could see it happening.

Aleki looks Brianna directly in her eyes, a devilish smirk on his face. Surprisingly, Aleki’s words seem to break past Brianna’s steely bravado momentarily.

Aleki Kekoa: Unless you like being Justice’s step tool. Then by all means keep being all spunky while on your back… in AND out of the ring!

The final comment snaps Brianna back into the present as she unloads a vicious slap to Aleki’s face. The Samoan War Machine takes it and rubs his cheek. He notices a trace of blood on his fingers as he wipes the edge of his lips. He chuckles at the blood then licks it off his finger.

Aleki Kekoa: Definitely wasted talent. A pity.

Brianna prepares to fight Aleki but he just smiles.

Aleki Kekoa: If and when you decide to step out on your own, Brianna, let me know. I could help you turn that spunk into a fountain of war. Or keep being Justice’s bitch.

Brianna Matthews: Fuck you, Aleki!

Aleki walks by Brianna and side eyes her with a satisfied look on his face.

Aleki Kekoa: You first.

Brianna is left seething as Tapioca Joe and Justice Cross emerge from their closed meeting. The General Manager notices her demeanor.

Tapioca Joe: Everything okay, Ms. Matthews?

Brianna Matthews: I’m fine.

Brianna is still looking in the direction where Aleki made his exit. Justice taps Brianna to follow her. Brianna looks back at her friend with a conflicted expression.

Justice Cross: Let’s go, Brie! This was a waste of my time!

Brianna hesitates momentarily to follow Justice before relenting and leaving the scene.

Streaming live from the Oakland Arena in Oakland, California

Taj: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to LEGENDARY THIRTY-SIX “LOVE HURTS II” NIGHT TWO!!

America: I’ve been waiting for this night since it was announced last month.

Suddenly “Believer” by Imagine Dragons fills the Oakland Arena as the 1WM World Heavyweight Champion, Ya Girl Q, makes her way out onto the entrance ramp to an astonishing split crowd.

Taj: Q looks a bit taken aback as it seems at least seventy-five of the crowd is cheering for her.

America: Could it be they have finally come to respect her and get behind her? Or is it simply because of what Ricky Stanton did to her last month at Legendary 35?

Ya Girl Q takes in the applause and admiration with a giant smile on her face. Q makes her way down the ramp, pointing out signs in the crowd that hail her. With a grin on her face, she uncharacteristically high fives fans along the entryway. That is, until she comes across a 20-something male fan with both of his thumbs pointing down, jeering the champion. Ya Girl Q’s face turns from bubbly to disgust in a mere moment at the sight of the fan. As she looks down at the fans shirt though, she sees that he’s wearing a Jacob Striker shirt and that’s all she needs to see to dismiss the fan with an eye roll.

America: You know I saw that fan in line before the doors opened and tried to have him banned from entry.

Taj: You’re too much sometimes, America.

Q continues her way down to the ring, rolling in under the bottom rope and posing for her fans. As she slaps at the front plate of the 1WM World Heavyweight Title around her waist, she calls for a microphone.

Ya Girl Q: Hey, what’s up, Oakland? It’s been a minute since Ya Girl Q has been able to come out and actually address the crowd the way I’ve done so many times in the past. I guess there came a point where the overlords feared putting a live microphone in my hand. I have no idea why. I’m guessing this straps carries a bit more weight around here.

Q shrugs her shoulders with a smirk on her face.

Ya Girl Q: I’m sure all you Oakland-ites out there are pretty proud of your city. You all know I like to do my research about the towns I perform in. There’s something about Oakland that has stood out more than anything. What do all these things have in common? Tom Hanks (cheers), Zendaya (Cheers), Clint Eastwood (cheers), Mark Hamill (cheers) and the Raiders (some cheers/some grumbling). Do you see where I’m going with this? So much talent coming out of Oakland and every single one just couldn’t wait to get out of this stinking city.

Despite some genuine boos, many of the fans are booing with a smile on their face or laughing at Q’s antics.

Ya Girl Q: Sorry, Oakland. You know I’ma say all the words inside my head. But seriously, I want to address the elephant in the room; and no, I’m not referencing Aleki Kekoa’s massively overinflated ego. I’m here to acknowledge the fact that ONCE AGAIN your beloved One Wrestling Movement management has attempted to stick it to Ya Girl Q. I have had every obstacle thrown in my way to keep me from becoming the 1WM World Heavyweight Champion and I have jumped through every single one of their hoops. So how do they reward their champion? In my very first defense of this belt I have to defend it against six different challengers in a ladder match. That seems fair, right? It’s almost like management asked an open question, “Who wants a title match?” and whomever said they do got it. That’s okay though. You don’t need to feel sorry for me, Oakland. You’ve got to remember. I’m Ya Girl Q. I have been dismissed more times than I can count throughout my entire career. I’m a little too short. I’m lazy. I don’t take things too seriously. I’m not some technical wizard. I don’t fly through the sky. Who ever said that I need to be? Truth be told, they say don’t judge a book by its cover. Each and every person that has come after me, whether they’ve won or lost, knows this. Despite my appearance, I will dump you on your neck. I will lift you up onto my shoulders and make the biggest man feel like an infant in the most emasculating way. It’s what’s gotten me this belt and I don’t care who you put up against me 1WM. I will find a way to walk out tonight with this belt still around my waist. I am a champion. Longest reigning YGQ Interregional Tri State Unified World Champion and now the 1WM World Heavyweight Champion.

A round of applause comes from the crowd as Ya Girl Q slowly paces around the ring. She stops and leans against the ropes, however, as she spots a sign in the crowd. It reads, ‘Q Fears Stanton’. Q is quick to call out the fan.

Ya Girl Q: Is this what you truly think? Do you think I fear Stanton? You know what, fu–

Q removes the microphone from her mouth before finishing her statement. Her determined face turns angry as she paces quickly across the ring before finally settling on the hard cam.

Ya Girl Q: I didn’t want to come out here to address this because it truly is a personal matter. The ever outspoken Q stayed quiet on the subject after last month's Legendary. Ya Girl Q didn’t acknowledge it after Glory. I just wanted to take time to myself, think, process and move on at my own pace. It’s time to get real here, Oakland. Last month I had the rug pulled out from underneath me. Someone that I trusted despite everyone in the world telling me not to, someone that I respected, someone who was like a father to me showed their true colors. Ricky Stanton!

The crowd immediately boos to the very sound of Stanton’s name.

Ya Girl Q: I know you’re back there and you’re watching this. You were waiting to see if I would address you because anytime your name gets brought up, it’s just free press for you. I’ll give you your free press but at the same time I don’t want to give you any more TV Time than you deserve. You can sit your ass backstage and listen for ONCE in your life. You don’t need your face on the screen because you’ll just get distracted. I’m going to give you what you want to hear. YOU didn’t attack me last month, Stanton. Is that what you need to hear? Will that allow you to sleep at night? I was the one that clocked you with this belt and I will own that. I had my world crushed in a matter of minutes and I acted out with pure uncontrolled rage at that moment. I won’t apologize for it but I will own it. As I stated, I took my time to gather my thoughts together. I didn’t want to do this on a public platform but I guess here we go.

Q takes a long deep breath as she attempts to control her emotions.

Ya Girl Q: You left me high and dry. I guess it essentially is all my fault because since day one everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, warned me against saddling up with Stanton Enterprises. I stopped talking to my sister, Leah, for quite a long time because she said so many awful things about you. It was only within the last year that we started to talk again. Everyone painted you as this villain. They called you egotistical, self-centered, narcissistic. Some even called you the Devil. None of them, not one of them saw what I saw. I saw a caring, nurturing man that had good in his heart. I saw a father figure I didn’t have. I wasn’t just someone you signed on as Stanton Enterprise Talent. I moved into your home. We would have dinners together. You took care of me when I didn’t have a single cent to my name. You told me that you felt like I was filling the void of your late daughter Justinia; something you thought could never be filled. But what do you do?

Q clears her throat as she can feel herself getting emotional.

Ya Girl Q: You gloss over all those meaningful moments and for what? To make yourself feel better about not leaving me high and dry? We were doing life together? I watched you stumble through relationships? Ricky, at your most vulnerable moments, I was the one there by your side. YOU put a roof over my head. YOU fed me. YOU gave me not just a paycheck but an allowance. I owe everything to you. I do, I really mean that. I owe everything to you for me becoming the person that I am today mainly because I came home one day and you weren’t there. The doors were locked. My stuff was outside. A staff member, one of YOUR staff members, had to tell me that you were jaded with the industry so you hightailed it to go find yourself. What about me, Ricky? I was like a daughter to you and yet you didn’t even think to call me, text me, leave a damn note?

Ya Girl Q is breathing hard as she is letting loose on Ricky and airing their dirty laundry.

Ya Girl Q: I was forced, in an instant, to be back on my own. I was forced to work harder than I ever had before. At one point in time I thought if I won the big one you’d come back. Can you believe that? The big one never came so I had to become strong ON MY OWN. I won this 1WM World Heavyweight Title ON MY OWN. You left, Ricky. You left me high and dry and I won this belt. No need for cheating. No need for interference or payoffs. Right here in the middle of the ring, I won the belt. It wasn’t because of anything you did. It wasn’t anything that Samson did either. I did it all ON MY OWN. I won the big one and… and ironically you showed back up. You showed up once I built myself up, worked my way through crying fits, lost myself in the gym and became the face of One Wrestle Movement. But where were you when I needed you most? You crap all over Josh Samson but at least he’s looking out for my best interests from a career standpoint. Of course my first instincts were to lay out and cry. Naturally, I buried myself in my workouts and refused to speak out. I was YET AGAIN mourning a father figure that never really cared about me to begin with. I’m done mourning, Ricky. I’m ready to take action so I suggest, if you see me in the hallways backstage, STAY AWAY!

Ya Girl Q throws down the microphone and stomps out of the ring. Fueled with anger, Q storms up the rampway. Before she can even get up to the curtains, Joshua Samson, Esquire is out to try and comfort her.

Samson: Suzanne…I’m here for whatever you need.

Q pushes Samson out of her way.

Ya Girl Q: Not now. And don’t use my government name to me at the moment.

Q goes backstage and, after composing himself, Samson follows.

Taj: Wow. Just wow…

America: You said it, Taj.

Debut Match
Damon Wave vs. Jessica Anderson

Both wrestlers stand in the ring and prepare for the beginning of the match. Wave and Jessica both nod at one another as the referee calls for the bell, making the match officially underway.

DING DING DING!!!

The two patiently wait for the right moment to strike before meeting in the center of the ring. Wave hits Jessica with a quick European uppercut that knocks her off balance. He follows it up with a second for good measure. Wave then grabs hold of Jessica and pulls her in toward him--- lifting her into the air and trying to send her crashing to the mat with a rolling fireman’s carry! Wave then grabs hold of Jessica and tries to lock her into a guillotine choke hold, but Jessica wisely crawls over to the ropes and grabs hold of them before the hold can truly be applied.

Jessica stays near the ropes as the referee gets between the two of them. Once he’s confident that the match can continue, the referee moves out of the way. Wave quickly steps toward Jessica and grabs hold of her. He spins her around and tries to lift her into the air for a German suplex, but Jessica elbows her way out of the attempt. She creates a bit of space between herself and Wave. He tries to close the gap, but Jessica responds by hitting Wave with an enziguri! He stumbles around from the impact before Jessica pulls him in toward her and rolls him up.

One…

Two…Wave kicks out!

Wave pulls himself back up to his feet. Jessica runs over and hits Wave in the mouth with a forearm smash! She follows it up with a second and then a third. Jessica then grabs hold of Wave and tries to shoot him across the ring. Wave reverses the attempt and steps toward the middle of the ring to meet Jessica. He tries to power her onto his shoulders for a Samoan drop, but Jessica reverses the attempt! She lands on the mat behind him and waits for Wave to turn around. When he does, she kicks him in the ribs, and then leaps into the air---hitting him with a Fameasser! She then hooks the leg and goes for the cover once again.

One…

Two…Wave kicks out again!

Taj: That was a very nice burst of offense from Jessica! If she can keep this up…

America: Things will look good for her, won’t they?! Taj, you and the entire world knows that there is no way in hell is she going to win this match.

Wave stays on the mat and tries to recover. The fans start to show Jessica a bit of support. She smirks as she pops back up to her feet. Jessica bounces off of the ropes as she tries to land on Wave with a running senton! Wave rolls out of the way at the last possible second and Jessica crashes hard to the mat! Wave grabs hold of her and drags her back up to her feet. He then plants her on the mat with a reverse DDT! Wave hooks the leg and goes for the cover.

One…

Two…

TH…KICK OUT!!

Jessica tries to create space between herself and Wave. Unfortunately for her, he manages to grab hold of her so that he can stay on the attack. Wave pulls Jessica in toward him and hits her with a hard knee strike! He follows it up with a second. Jessica groggily tries to stay upright. Wave then grabs hold of Jessica’s arm and tries to drop her down to the mat for a Kimura arm lock! Jessica briefly fights Wave for position before pinning his shoulders down to the mat.

One…

Two…

THR…KICK OUT!!

Taj: Jessica almost stole one there!

America: I know that she was a bit desperate in trying to avoid the submission, but Wave has to do better than that if he wants to win this! It only takes three seconds to end a match!

Taj: Too true.

The fans are showing their support for both wrestlers. Jessica grabs hold of Wave and brings him back up to his feet. She fires off a chop to the chest, and then a second, and then a third.

Crowd: WOOO! WOOOO! WOOO!

Jessica then grabs hold of Wave’s head and smirks. However before she can do anything, Wave spins her around. He blasts her in the mouth with a hard elbow smash to knock Jessica off balance. He then grabs hold of her arm once again and pulls her down to the mat, this time locking in the Kimura lock effortlessly! Wave pulls on the arm and does what he can to hurt Jessica. Within seconds, Jessica is frantically tapping out as the referee has no choice but to call for the bell.

Torres: The winner of this match….Damon Wave!!!

Taj: Damon came into this match with a plan and he executed it!

America: Can’t ask for more than that, can you?

Suddenly “Monster” by Eminem blares over the announce system drawing everyone’s attention to the entrance stage.

Taj: Is this…?

America: No way!

From behind the curtain out walks Solomon Monster. The crowd pops at the return of the grizzled veteran. With a gruff expression on his face, Solomon swiftly marches down to the ring.

Taj: Solomon has apparently returned back to 1WM tonight after being on indefinite suspension since early last year.

America: And he looks as mean as ever!

As Solomon steps into the ring, an unsure Damon charges and tries to hit him with a knee strike. Solomon catches him in the air and effortlessly throws the newcomer out to the floor! Damon hits it with a “THUD”. Solomon hops out of the ring and clears off the announce table. He effortlessly lifts Damon into the air as the referee admonishes him.

Taj: Solomon was indefinitely suspended for actions just like this last year! He has to know that this will surely get him on General Manager Tap’s radar.

America: And why should he care?

Just before Solomon can send Damon crashing through the table, Reverb hops over the guardrail! She runs at Solomon and cracks him in his face with a kendo stick! Solomon briefly stumbles, holding his now bleeding face. Reverb steps back and builds up a bit of a running start----throwing herself at Solomon and sending both of them crashing to the floor! 1WM officials come out from the back to get things under control.

Taj: Honestly, I’m not sure what happened here.

America: Solomon Monster deciding to be a monster…

Taj: And that’s never good for anyone!

As “Love Hurts II” comes back from its first commercial break we can see the ring crew has quickly set up the set for Justice for All. The purple velvet carpet was on the mat and in the ring there would be two chairs that each had a mic sitting on it. The crowd would cheer the show coming back and the song “Fighter” by Christina Aguilera begins to play over the pa system. Justice Cross walks out wearing her black knee high boots, a light blue stonewashed mini jean skirt, and a black tshirt that stops at her midsection. She would have the Glory championship belt that was hers over her left shoulder. Standing there for a second listening to the mixed reaction she got she shook her head smirking and made her way to the ring. Going up the stell steps she would walk half way onto the apron stepping through the ropes. Going to the chair that would be hers she picked up the mic and walked to the middle of the ring holding it up to her mouth.

Justice: Fifty nine days ago I became the One Wrestle Movement Glory champion. I told Silas then when I faced him what I was going to do and then I went out to the ring and I did exactly that. I took his belt from him. My next title defense happened in January where I faced Nicole Smoak. Once again I told her the same thing that I did to Silas. That she’s not good enough to beat me in the ring. And what happened at the end of that match? I’ll tell you. You see not only did I win the match but I retained my title. And now comes to a week ago at Glory. You know the show where I faced both Silas and Rei for MY title. What do you think I told them both?

Listening to the crowd she stood there a few seconds smirking once more.

Justice: I told them that this was my house not theirs and I was going to walk out of our match as the One Wrestle Movement Glory champion and I did just that. You see a lot of people think that when I say things it’s because I’m full of hot air, being childish, stupid, don’t really know what I’m talking about, or just assuming that I am going to get the win. But what you people don’t remember is who it is that was just one of the many people who taught me what I needed to be in order to get to where I am. Some of the people that work for One Wrestle Movement feel that I don’t belong here and that I should just pack my things and go home. But I don’t listen to them. Do you want to know why I don’t listen to them? I don’t listen to them because it’s what THEY want me to do and trust me I’m not about doing what others want.

The crowd begins to give her the mixed reaction again so she looks aroundputtling her hand with the mic at her side .Slowly she brings the mic back up to her mouth to speak.

Justice: Like it or not, I’m the one Wrestle Movement Glory champion. Who wants to be the next person to step up to me? You know to try and take my title? Because I have to tell you I’ve faced Silas twice now and he’s lost both times. I’ve faced Nicole Smoak and she lost. The second time I faced Silas I also faced Rei. Rei lost the match. As far as I’m concerned, just like Silas that’s her last chance at getting a title shot while I am the Glory champion. And you want to know why they both failed to beat me? Because I’m the best wrestler in the world. Speaking of being best in the world, it brings me to my guest for “Justice for All” tonight. Now I don’t really know much about him because when I first came to One Wrestle Movement he was on the way out the door. I do know that he took a chance to help me with some things and to repay him I sent an invitation to be the guest on the first half of my show tonight. So ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, please welcome my guest at this time, Ricky Stanton.

“Back in Black” by ACDC hits the speakers as “Pretty” Ricky Stanton strolls out from behind the curtains to an arena full of boos. He adjusts his coat and strolls down ringside. He takes a mic from the ref and steps into the ring as people boo louder. He laughs as he sits down…

PRS: JUSTICE JUSTICE! How is everything going around here? And may I say you are looking just splendid on this fine day. (He motions for his security to stay out of the ring). The guys get jumpy (laughs)

Going to the rope she would look at Stanton’s security detail speaking to them.

Justice: Gentlemen I give you my word that this fine distinguished gentleman is just fine in here right now. I mean look at me. Do I look like someone who could hurt him?

Shrugging she turns back to Stanton.

Justice: First of all thank you for taking the time to be on my show. I like to speak to people like this instead of just being interrupted. -smirks referring to when he interrupted her- Anyway, how are you tonight?

PRS: Justice I’m fantastic. One Wrestle Movement is SOOOO PRETTY RIGHT NOW. I won my first match back, and had a great celebration afterwards, and not only that, but the set here is looking great so obviously the Stanton Media money is going to right places and wow, what else is going on?! Everything just feels right now that I’m back and as soon as I move some people around and get some other people to know their place the world will be a lot better!

Justice: Yeah, congratulations on winning that match by the way. I know when people make their return to the ring they can be a little lackluster and maybe a little rusty but you did not look it at all. And after their first return match they have another, and another, and another, until they get back into that old routine of working such awesome matches which brings me to what I wanted to talk to you about tonight. Your next match is a triple threat for the title. Not just any title though. No, it’s for the Pride of One Wrestle Movement championship. Your opponents are Tim Brody and one of Joshua Samson’s clients who just happens to be the current Pride of One Wrestle Movement champion, Nina Stokes. I know you probably got a lot on your mind about these two not to mention your match but I have a quick question. Have you seen Tim Brody? I mean I hear his name but I don’t exactly see him, and this is my house not to mention my yard, so I think I’d know if someone named Tim Brody was here.

PRS: I haven’t seen Tim nor do I care Justice. In fact, I’ll go you one further: The Pretty Boy has actually hired a Medium to see if we can locate him because OBVIOUSLY he’s a ghost by the way he’s acting right now. So no one really cares. But about the Pride of 1WM. Joshie can be mad, he can get a towel, pin it around his neck like a damn cape and hold his hands out and run around his office and be SUPER mad but the fact of the matter is NIna Stokes will turn to Nina Chokes in that match because she’s gonna come up short against the Prettiness. She is not prepared to be a reigning champion, she never really was. The Pride of 1WM is more than just holding a title, it’s talking about it, walking the walk, letting the whole wrestling world know that you are the heart of this company! That you are the energy that circulates in its veins! Is Nina that? I DON’T THINK SO. And I’m in the business of exposing people for who they are JUST LIKE I DID WITH YA GIRL Q (Crowd boos) YEAH I KNOW YOU WANTED ME TO SAY IT SO YEAH I DID SUE ME PEOPLE ! YOU KNOW I’M RIGHT! SHE’S NEVER BEEN PUSHED, NEVER BEEN MOTIVATED GUESS WHO DID ALL THAT??? ME. Nina is the SAME WAY.

Justice: First of all you need to calm yourself down. Second of all, you and I both know that his clients aren’t really the must see people when it comes to our company. You want to know how I know? Because I’m the damn Glory champion and while I do what is needed. I’m going to do whatever it takes to make this title worth more than it is. I mean, it’s already happened. I won the title and I have been the champion for almost two months now. And not only that but I speak and don’t hide behind someone like the little cowards do. Damn it Ricky Bobby -laughs- I always wanted to do that. But Ricky this isn’t about me, it’s about you doing what is going to happen at Legendary, and that’s dethrone Nina. She’s not even worth talking about right now so….what do you want to talk about?

Ricky leans back in his chair looking at Justice.

PRS: I want to talk about….(Crowd boos)...I want to talk about looking past Nina Stokes into the big picture. I’m about what’s next. And what is next? What’s next is getting back what’s rightfully mine. Getting back what is owed to me in this company. Getting back all the time I’ve put into this place, all the money invested, all the people trained. Yeah, getting back what’s mine. And when I step into that ring for the Pride of 1WM, that’s only the beginning. People are trying to suppress the Prettiness because they feel they gotta keep a close eye on me. Here’s the thing and I’m going to look right into the cam when I say this…You keep your eyes on me. Yes, you do that, because at the end of the day something sinister is coming and it’s going to be SOOOO, SO PRETTY. And I’m going to have everything that’s owed to me PAID. IN. FULL. That’s all I got for you Justice. And I hope that property you bought from Joshie was worth it. You know, relaxing and stuff and things…

Putting her mic down for a few moments she would look at him. She reached over covering his mic up saying something inaudible to him. Standing up she started walking over to the ropes and stepped through onto the apron. Going to the steel steps she would go down them and look at the fans near her but kept quiet. Making her way up the ramp she would turn facing towards him and once at the top she stood there narrowing her eyes placing the mic back up to her lips.

Justice: Enjoy your match Ricky because it starts…right…now. Get my stuff out of that ring.

Turning around she makes her way to the back as the show fades to commercials.

Pride of 1WM Championship Match
Three Way Match
Tim Brody vs. "Pretty" Ricky Stanton vs. Nina Stokes ©

Torres: The following is a THREE WAY MATCH for the PRIDE OF 1WM CHAMPIONSHIP!!

Ice Station Zebra by Jack White plays as Tim Brody makes his way out to a decent cheer from the attending fans.

Torres: Coming to the ring first hailing from Hamwater, Massachusetts…weighing in at two hundred and seventy-six pounds….standing at a height of six feet seven inches…he is the first challenger….he is TIIIIIIMMMMMM BRODDDDDYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The lights go out and the Black Superman logo is shown on the big screen with AC DC's "Back in Black" blasting over the speakers. Just then "Pretty" Ricky Stanton, water bottle in hand, comes out to the ramp and stands there.

Back in black, I hit the sack

I've been too long, I'm glad to be back

Yes, I'm let loose from the noose

That's kept me hanging about

I'm just looking at the sky 'cause it's getting me high

Forget the hearse, 'cause I'll never die

I got nine lives, cat's eyes

Abusing every one of them and running wild

'Cause I'm back, yes I'm back

Well, I'm back, yes I'm back

Well, I'm back, back
Well, I'm back in black

Yes, I'm back in black, oh

Ricky smiles as he begins walking down the ramp towards the ring. He looks over at the announcers table and yells at Taj about “being Astrid's friend”. Taj gets ready to respond but before she can Ricky has walked over and spit a load of water into her face! The crowd boos extremely loud as he hurls the rest of the water on her and continues back up the ramp cussing at people...

Torres: Coming to the ring hailing from Richmond, Virginia….weighing in at two hundred and ten pounds….standing at a height of six feet even…he is the second challenger….his is Pretty….RICKKKKKKYYYYYY STANTOOONNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

America: What in the hell was that about, Taj? Did you refuse to give him some attention or something backstage?!

Taj: I have no idea what’s his problem! He’s out here screaming I’m Astrid Samson’s friend and I barely even know the woman.

America: What dude spits water on a female anyway?

“Sei to Shi to Kimi” by MUCC blares through the arena as Nina Stokes, Pride of 1WM title belt around her waist, makes her way down to the ring.

Torres: Coming to the ring hailing from Miami, Florida….weighing in tonight at a weight of one hundred and forty-pounds….standing at a height of five feet six inches….representing The Samson Family….she is the current reigning and defending Pride of 1WM Champion….she is Jidai no Makuake….NINNNNNNAAAAAAA STOKEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taj: This will be the first real true test for Nina as the Pride of 1WM Champion.

America: Damn right it is! Not only does she have to contend with two competitors but she doesn’t even have to be pinned to lose her title. That’s some straight up bull shi—

Taj: Alright, let’s get this match started!

The referee looks at all three wrestlers to make sure they're ready before calling for the bell, the match now officially underway.

DING DING DING!!!

Almost immediately, Nina Stokes charges across the ring and hits Tim in the mouth with a forearm smash. She follows it up with a second before stepping back and firing a hard kick into Tim's ribs. She hits Tim with a second and then steps back. She fires an incredibly hard kick at Tim's left leg, causing him to drop down to a knee. The fans are on their feet as Nina prepares to bounce off of the ropes and strike---only to have Ricky step in front of her and cut Nina off with a back body drop! Ricky smirks as he turns toward Nina and shakes his head. He then goes to focus his attention on Tim Brody, only to have Tim step toward him and hit Ricky with a spinning backfist that drops the Pretty One to a knee! Ricky pulls himself back up to his feet but can't do much else before Tim hoists him into the air and delivers a vertical suplex!

Taj: The format of this match means that you're going to need to keep your emotions in check, because if you don't...

America: You're likely to leave yourself open to a mistake!

Ricky tries to drag himself back up to his feet. Tim quickly closes the gap between the two and grabs hold of Ricky. He locks in a front facelock and immediately begins to apply pressure in hopes of wearing Ricky down. Tim releases the hold on Ricky as soon as he notices that Nina is beginning to stir, however. He shoves Ricky down to the mat and instead focuses his attention on Nina. Tim hits her in the chest with a hard chop, and then a second, and then a third.

Crowd: WOOO! WOOO! WOOOO!

Each of the blows sends Nina staggering back toward the ropes. Tim then grabs hold of her and tries to shoot Nina across the ring, but Nina is able to reverse the attempt. She waits for Tim to come back on the rebound before leaping into the air and hitting him with a leg lariat! Tim crashes to the mat as Nina covers.

One…

Two…Ricky throws Nina off of Tim!

Nina tries to focus her attention onto Ricky, only to have Ricky hit her with an European uppercut! Nina bounces off of the ropes and staggers toward Ricky. He grabs hold of her and tries to get her into position for a double underhook backbreaker. Nina quickly fights for positioning and keeps him from properly setting it up. She ends up on the mat behind Ricky and waits for him to turn around before hitting him with an enziguri! He falls to the mat and Nina quickly rolls him over and goes for the cover.

One…

Two…

THR…Tim dives over and breaks it up!

Taj: That's two nearfalls in a row for Nina Stokes!

America: This match is a foregone conclusion, Taj!

Tim smirks as he pounds away on Nina with a series of forearm shots that knocks her back into the nearest turnbuckle. Nina slumps against it for just a moment. Tim prepares to charge into the corner for a jumping knee. Nina steps forward and kicks Tim in the mouth! He staggers back from the impact. Nina tries to rush at him to keep the momentum on her side, only to have Tim respond by lifting her into the air and slamming her to the mat with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker! Tim then grabs hold of her right leg and immediately rolls her into a single-legged crab! Nina's eyes show signs of pain as Tim tries to do as much damage as he possibly can! Unfortunately for him, it doesn't last long, as Ricky bounces off of the ropes and boots him in the mouth! Tim has no choice but to release the hold, stumbling back into the ropes. He tries to recover and charges at Ricky, only to have Ricky lift him into the air for a Samoan drop! Tim wisely rolls out of the way to avoid a cover, while Nina uses the ropes to pull herself back up to her feet.

Taj: Ricky is in a pretty good spot!

America: Now he just needs to be smart enough to put things away and the man isn’t known for his smarts.

Once Nina is standing, Ricky shakes his head. He steps toward the Champion and hits her with a hard slap that echoes throughout the arena, drawing quite a few "ooooohhs!" from the fans in attendance. Ricky then grabs hold of Nina and drags her toward the center of the ring. He tries to get her into position for the Pretty Boy Drop (reverse DDT), but Nina gets out of his grasp! She leaps into the air and hits Ricky in the mouth with a vicious knee shot! Ricky drops to a knee as Nina tries to line herself up with him. Unfortunately for her, the second that she steps forward, Tim cuts her off with a chop block! Seizing the moment, Ricky bounces off of the ropes, hitting Tim with a flying clothesline! Ricky briefly turns toward the crowd and gloats. When he turns back around, Nina runs forward and delivers Amidst the Shadow of Sorrows III (Boma Ye knee strike)! She hooks the leg and goes for the cover.

One…

Two…

THREE!!!

Torres: The winner of this match...AND STILL the Pride of 1WM Champion...Nina Stokes!!!

Taj: Ricky Stanton distracted himself for just a moment and Nina was able to pick up the win to retain her championship!

America: I’ve said it before and I’ll say I again…Ricky may be pretty but he isn’t that smart.

Broadcasting Monthly on Splat! Network

Once again there is a commercial break and when we come back to the ring we can see Justice Cross standing in the ring with a mic this time. Looking into the camera she said a few things that were a bit inaudible and pointed to that title smirking. She then held the mic up to her lips.

Justice: I told you guys this was going to be a two part episode tonight. The first part featured none other than Ricky Stanton but I wanted to do a little something extra for this second part tonight. Now I could have chosen anyone I wanted to be on here but I decided to go with someone that I don’t know. This person and I have gotten off on the wrong foot and I want her to know that as the Glory champion I am here to help her with anything she needs. Lord knows none of the other two champions are trying to be leaders. So at this time would you please welcome my second guest of the evening…Reverb.

"BELLA POARCH - VILLAIN" hit as the lovely Reverb entered the stage, where she did a little salsa dance the whole way down the ramp before she entered the ring.

REVERB: "Not gonna lie, Justice. I'm kinda shocked you'd invite me here."

Justice: Yeah, well I just felt like we got off on the wrong foot. But I have to say the other reason I invited you on here was because I can see you've got spunk to you. And I believe you can make it here in One Wrestle Movement. So I do apologize to you if you thought I was being rude or something along that nature.

REVERB: "It's totally fine, I got a little hot headed and defensive and turned up the Latina Spice. Everything is cool now? Thanks for the invite, I can't wait to do huge things here."

Justice: You know what, I get that. I mean I used to be the same way. Someone says something that I didn’t like? I’d get all defensive. But luckily along the way I had a few people who taught me that it’s ok for others not to like me and that I can’t please everyone. I was also taught that at the end of the day the only one who knows what you can do in this ring is yourself and that if people tell you that you can’t do something or won’t amount to anything then you make them eat their words. Famous words right there by someone a little bit more famous than us but hey when you get to know the people I have, thanks to Anthony my husband, then you get advice along the way of your career. Enough about that because I don’t know very much about you. I’d like to give you the floor so to speak so you can tell not only myself but the people in attendance and all those watching at home just who you are and what you’ve done.

REVERB: "I'm REVERB & Y'all will be chanting my name soon enough! {Reverb smiled} See I don't have as many accomplishments as you do Justice that's for sure. But seeing I'm just starting out, I'm glad One Wrestle gave me the opportunity to prove myself. I have tons and tons of goals I want to accomplish here. Make sure you watch me and watch the Reverb make some noise."

Justice: Reverb, as the Glory champion not to mention the host of this show please understand that I sincerely mean this when I tell you that your goals will define your career here in One Wrestle Movement. Make sure you reach each and everyone of those goals and when you do understand that reaching those goals is something that nobody can take from you. Trust me, I should know. I had a goal to be the best of the best here, but I kept getting overlooked, so I took it upon myself to do something about it. And when I did I reached my goal of becoming a champion. So how about we go to the back, sit down with each other, and you can tell me all your goals you want to accomplish here in One Wrestle Movement. Who knows, maybe I can even help you reach some of them.

Reverb smiled. She was pretty confident. Even if she failed, she'd just try harder next time. One way or another, she'd get her chance to shine.

REVERB: "Congrats, Justice! I'm truly proud of you reaching your goals, when nobody believed in you. True underdog story. However I plan to reach all my goals one way or another and whatever I have to do to accomplish that, it will be done. Everyone will know me, they will know who Reverb is."

The two would walk to the ropes getting out on the apron. Justice walked to the steel steps once again and made her way to the ramp. She motioned to Reverb it would be ok to follow her and then Justice walked to the back followed by Reverb.

Backstage, we find Mickey “Mouse” Greer waiting in the interview area, a slight grin creeping across his face as he hears footsteps approaching. A few seconds later, we see the One Wrestle Movement Tag Team Champions, the Fallen Angels, enter the frame. They look none too pleased to see him, particularly Aurora, who glares icily at him.

Mickey: Fallen Angels, you seem…

Aurora cuts him off, a slight hiss in her voice.

Aurora: Get lost. We’ll take it from here.

Mickey: But…

Damon stands between his wife and Greer, staring the interviewer down.

Damon: You heard the lady; HIT THE BRICKS!

With a grimace on his face, Mickey mutters something under his breath before begrudgingly slinking out of frame. With that, the Tag Team Champs turn their attention to the camera.

Aurora: Powerhouse Neon… at Legendary 35, things were going pretty damned well. No offense, but a team that’s still trying to gel as a unit in all likelihood is gonna get squashed by a more experienced team, especially if that team is the One Wrestle Movement Tag Team Champions.

Their previous ill-tempered expressions soften a bit, as Aurora gives an approving nod.

Damon: But giving credit where it’s due, you two kept pace. At least you showed us that you took that match as seriously as we did. We were well on the way to having the match of the night. That is, until the Mechanical Asshats decided to fuck with things.

The mere mention of the Mechanical Animals shifts their tone from one of respect to one of disdain.

Aurora: Hunter… Pierce… you wanted to buck the system, right? After all, why bother going through the effort to, I dunno, EARN a title match against us? Ah, but that’s not your style, is it? You two may have made names for yourselves elsewhere, but here in One Wrestle Movement, reputation only gets you so far.

Damon: When we started here, nothing we did in the past mattered. We started at the bottom of the tag team ranks and fought our way to the top. Not once, but TWICE. No, you two dildos felt froggy and decided to jump on the champs’ lilypad… news flash, boys; there’s only room for champions on this pad, and we ain’t leaving any time soon!

The champs pause, collecting themselves.

Aurora: Last, and certainly least, we have two dumbfucks sharing the same fucking brain cell… the Headhunters. You morons MUST be a pair of masochists, because you seem to live for getting humiliated by us. That’s not idle boasting, Calloways; it's an established fact!

Damon: Throughout the sordid history between us, there hasn’t been one single instance of you beating us cleanly. You’ve either had other people stick their noses where they don’t belong, or you find some other means of bullshitting your way to a cheap win. Yet you think you can take these belts from us? Just like the other teams in this match, you’re more than welcome to try.

Aurora: So far, the brass have kept the rules of this match a closely guarded secret. Apart from this being a Crimson Chamber match, who the hell knows what it’ll take to win? Here’s the thing, folks…

Damon: IT DOESN’T FUCKING MATTER WHAT THE RULES ARE!!! Pinfall, submission, knockout… hell, even if we have to tie every other team to the ring posts, we don’t care! We walk into this match as the Tag Team Champions and we’ll walk out the same way. And we’ll do it the right way… up front and in your face! We are the standard bearers for the tag team division, and we will continue to do it for as long as we fucking want to!

With this, Damon reaches out with his right hand, his palm blocking the camera lens. There is a small gap that isn’t completely covered, but the view leisurely pans around . Once the cameraman can steady themselves, the viewing audience is treated to the sight of the Tag Team Champions as they walk away.

America: Wait a minute….hold up! These two chicks are getting a Tag Team Championship shot?!

Taj: This match has been advertised for over a month, America. You’ve known that Powerhouse Neon are in this match.

America: I didn’t even know they were still employed in this company, Taj.

"Other Side" by Alter Bridge hits and The Mechanical Animals, Raijin Hunter and Wil Pierce, walk slowly out to a mixed chorus of cheers and jeers. They barely notice as they take their time walking to the ring. They step inside the ring and let the crowd react as they will, not seeming to care one way or the other.

Torres: Coming to the ring next is team number two…. weighing in at a combined weight of four hundred and fifty-five pounds…..they are “Dark Phoenix” Raijin Hunter and “Blackheart” Wil Pierce….THHHHEEEEEE MECHANICAAAALLLLL ANMALLLLLLSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

America: They should be now, they’ve got what they wanted. They have Dexter and Eric in the ring, something they should never have gotten in the first place!

Taj: And why is that?

America: Gah, you’ll never understand!

Nipsey Hussle "Last Time That I Checked" starts playing and the two California brothers, Eric and Dexter Calloway, walk out nodding their heads along. They make their way down to the ring, looking just as ready to party as they are to fight, which to them is almost the same thing anyway. They step into the ring, hooping and hollering, ready to go.

Torres: Introducing team number three….weighing in at a combined weight of four hundred and sixty pounds….they are former 1WM Tag Team Champions…. Dexter and Eric Calloway….THEEEEEE HEADHUNTERRRRRRRRSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taj: I think...

America: Shut it. Ring!

DING DING DING!!!

Damon, Aurora, Jessica, Megan, Raijin and Wil all attack Dexter and Eric. Dexter manages to get a couple of shots in before he is swarmed by Damon, Aurora, Wil and Megan. Eric dodges Jessica and Megan and runs right into the waiting arms of Raijin. Hunter picks him up, presses Eric over his head and then turns and throws him over the top rope! Eric bounces off the chamber wall face first and then tumbles down to the floor.

America: Hey, hey, hey! Why is everyone teaming up on the Headhunters?!

Taj: Perhaps because they’ve rubbed everyone in the match the wrong way?

America: I doubt that. Hell, Damon and Aurora, by their own admission, don’t even know the rules to the match and we’ve had two Crimson Chamber matches already in 1WM history.

Jessica turns to face the swarm and watches as Damon, Aurora, Megan and Wil all put the boots to Dexter simultaneously. Jessica walks over and joins in, making it a five on one beatdown. Raijin looks and motions at them to give him the guy. Jessica nods, stops the boots and drags Dexter to his feet. He shoves Dexter to Raijin who scoops Dexter up the same way he had Eric. The crowd roars its approval as the Fallen Angels, Powerhouse Neon, and Wil nod their approval as well. Raijin throws Dexter like a javelin, bouncing off the cage facefirst the same way his partner had. Dexter crashes down to the cold, hard concrete floor below, the crowd cheering wildly for the violence.

Taj: My God!

America: This is bullshit!

Taj: Eric and Dexter just got lawn darted by Raijin!

America: That guy should be arrested for this! In no way should he be allowed to do this to great competitors like The Headhunters!

Taj: Well he did!

America: And I don’t see how you can condone such behavior!

The Mechanical Animals step back away from the ropes. Powerhouse Neon roll out to the floor and start to put the boots to Eric again. The Fallen Angels roll out to the floor and march over to Dexter. The Champs drag Dexter up and then ram him face first into the wall again! Dexter staggers back and Damon and Aurora throw him back fist against the edge of the ring! Dexter falls to his knees and eats dual soccer-style kicks to the chest, Damon on the left, Aurora on the right. Dexter falls down onto his back, bleeding like a stuck pig from the head. Jessica and Megaan stop stomping on Eric and pulls him up to his feet. They bounce his face off the ringpost and then pick him up so that they are holding him like a giant spear or battering ram. They run him into the door and let him tumble to the floor where he lands in a bloody heap.

Taj: Good God...

America: Why is this being allowed?!

Taj: Dexter and Eric asked for this!

America: How DARE you say that, Taj?

Wil and Raijin slide out to the floor and wade into the fight. Wil kicks Aurora in the head with a snap roundhouse kick. Damon cracks Wil in the mouth as his wife tumbles to the floor. Wil looks to knee Damon but misses as he rolls out of the way. Damon jumps up onto the apron and flips off, looking to crash into Pierce. Wil snaps off another kick, nailing Damon out of midair. The impact redirects Damon into the wall of the chamber. Damon crashes down to the floor next to where Dexter and Aurora are already lying. Aurora staggers up and hits a double ax handle to the neck of Wil. Wil staggers a step before turning around to throw a punch. Aurora ducks under and slips past him into the ring. Wil follows her in and Aurora catches him for an inside cradle.

One…

Two…

TH…KICK OUT!!

As the two go to stand up, Wil turns into a back kick that drops Aurora on her back. Meanwhile, Powerhouse Neon pairs off on either side of Raijin and dive at the man’s knees. Raijin falls to his knees and Jessica and Megan pound away at him. Jessica shoves him over and dives into the ring while Megan continues to pound on Raijin’s head. Jessica cracks Wil in the back and then covers Aurora.

One…

Two…

THR…WIL BREAKS UP THE PIN!!

Raijin cracks Megan in the mouth with a rising uppercut. Megan staggers and Raijin grabs her by the head and rams Megan into the wall. Megan tries to punch back and Raijin starts bouncing Megan’s face off the wall repeatedly! Megan staggers away bleeding profusely. Raijin gives her a big mafia kick that sends Megan down hard. He turns and dives into the ring as Wil, Aurora, and Jessica get to their feet. Aurora punches Wil and starts to move him back to the ropes. Damon climbs up onto the apron and grabs Wil from behind. Aurora clotheslines Wil but gets grabbed as they come through. Damon pulls back simultaneously and Wil and Aurora come over the top! All three fly off the edge of the ring and bounce off the wall of the cage.

Taj: What an impact there!

America: Three bodies hitting the steel is usually going to make one, Taj!

Taj: And now...

America: Raijin and Jessica…

Raijin and Jessica square off and start to trade shots: Jessica, Raijin, Jessica, Raijin, Jessica, Raijin, Jessica, Raijin, Jessica, Raijin, Jessica, Raijin, Jessica, Raijin, Jessica, Raijin, Jessica, Raijin, Jessica, Raijin, Jessica, Raijin, Jessica, Raijin, Jessica, Raijin, Jessica, Raijin, Jessica, Raijin, Jessica, Raijin. They draw blood on each other as they continue to hammer away on each other. The crowd erupts as they watch the sweat and blood fly.

Aurora and Damon climb back into the ring and the two run over and hit dropkicks on the two. Wil and Megan both climb and dive in as well. Megan runs over and gives a flying forearm shot to Wil. Damon and Aurora both hit dropkicks again on the two sending them to the ropes. They run over and hit double dropkicks on Wil and Megan. Wil tumbles through the ropes to the floor. Megan tries to punch at them and gets caught. Jessica runs over and takes Damon over the top with a nasty crack smash clothesline that takes them both over the top out onto the edge of the ring. Damon jumps up and hits a tornado DDT on Jessica on the apron!

Taj: Good God, what a DDT!

America: That was nasty.

Taj: Goodness the blood!

America: All of them!

Damon climbs up onto the apron again and Wil pulls him back down onto the floor. They start exchanging shots on the floor: Wil, Damon, Wil, Damon, Wil, Damon, Wil, Damon, Wil, Damon, Wil, Damon, Wil, Damon, Wil, Damon, Wil, Damon, Wil, Damon, Wil, Damon, Wil, Damon, Wil, Damon, Wil, Damon. Inside the ring, Raijin walks over and grabs Aurora, tossing her bodily across the ring! Raijin kicks Aurora in the head and drags her up. He hooks Aurora up and hits The Side Effect (jumping cutter)! As Raijin goes to cover, Eric climbs into the ring with a wrench in hand. He blasts Raijin from behind!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Eric covers Aurora.

One…

Two…

THREE!!

Dexter grabs Eric by the ankles and pulls him from the ring. Raijin starts to get up, looking like a rampaging storm cloud. The door to the cage opens and Dexter and Eric run out as the crowd vociferously boos them .

Torres: Here are your winners….AND NEW 1WM Tag Team Champions…. Dexter and Eric Calloway…. The Headhunters!!!

Taj: Highway robbery!

America: It’s all legal in a Crimson Chamber! And once again The Headhunters are the champions!

Ladder Match
William Ryder vs. "The Entitled" Sofie Masalis vs. Marie Laurant vs. Kelli Saint vs. "Samoan War Machine" Aleki Kekoa vs. "The Straight Shooter" Jacob Striker vs. “Ya Girl” Q ©

Torres: The following is the LEGENDARY THIRTY-SIX “LOVE HURTS II” NIGHT TWO MAIN EVENT!!! It is a LADDER MATCH for the 1WM WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!

However long that it takes
I'll go to whatever lengths
It's gonna make me a monster though
I am phenomenal

The crowd showed a mixed reaction towards the opening chords to Eminem's "Phenomenal" began to consume the attention of the audience. A hungry and extremely motivated William Cordova made his presence known the moment he emerged from behind the eerie black colored curtain.

However long that it takes
I'll go to whatever lengths
It's gonna make me a monster though
I am phenomenal

The entire crowd would begin to gravitate their focus towards a man who no desire to cater to their futile opinions about him. The former inaugural EHWF Anarchy World Champion stood at the top of the entrance ramp supporting a black zip-up hoodie that supported a golden crown symbol on the front left chest, the words "Natural Born Nightmare" written across the back also in gold print. He supported a pair of long black tights with a golden skull wearing a crown with the words "Nightmare King" written above and below it. Two black knee pads with the right knee displaying the same skull wearing a crown logo in the center. Beneath the black hoodie he kept un-zipped in order to show off his incredible physique and perhaps the most impressive six pack in pro wrestling, he also wore a plain black elbow pad over his left elbow for both support and comfort. The rest of his attire consisted of matching black and gold kick-padded boots and a pair of black blackhawk full length tactical gloves over his hands.

With every ounce of my blood
With every breath in my lungs
I am phenomenal

He slowly began a slow walk towards the ring for the sole purpose of making his opponent sit and wait on him knowing damn well it got underneath their skin. He slowly began to circle the outside of the ring like a great white shark circling it's wounded prey a moment before it strikes, never once shying his eyesight away from his opponent. He casually slid into the ring beneath the bottom rope before lifting himself up onto one knee directly in front of the turnbuckle. He smirked, making sure never to break eye contact with the person standing across the squared circle from him. He once again continued to take his time removing the hoodie from his ripped body before tossing it over the top rope and onto the outside floor.

However long that it takes
I'll go to whatever lengths
It's gonna make me a monster though
I am phenomenal

He impatiently waited for the bell to ring to make a move on his next opponent. William continued to lock eyes with the individual standing across the ring from him. His piercing ice cold blue eyes were compared to that of a man staring into the pitch black abyss. He waited for the bell to ring to quickly make his way across the ring in order to try to gain the upper-hand and strike first.

Torres: Coming to the ring first hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania….weighing in at a weight of one hundred and ninety-nine pounds….standing at a height of six feet even….he is WILLIAAAAAMMMMMM RYDEEEEERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taj: William Ryder has a great opportunity to claim the championship here tonight.

America: Does he even know where he is?

”Now or Never” by Tritonal plays as Sofia Masali makes her way out to the boos of the crowd.

Torres: Coming to the ring hailing from Los Angeles, California….weighing in at one hundred and twenty-five pounds….standing at a height of five feet eight inches…she is challenger number two….she is “Entitled”.....SOFIIIIAAAA MASALIIIIISSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taj: We haven’t heard much from Sofia since this match was announced.

America: You mean we haven’t heard anything! Zero….zilch…nada…

”Awake” by Ok Goodnight plays as the fans begin to give a rather mixed response in anticipation of Marie Laurant's arrival.

Torres: Coming to the ring hailing from Paris, France….weighing in at one hundred and eighteen pounds….standing at a height of five feet eight inches….she is challenger number four….she is the French Bombshell….MARIIIIIIEEEEEE LAURANNNNNNNTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taj: Marie has publicly stated on social media that her main mission tonight is to get her hands on Kelli Saint.

America: I see why Kelli bashed her in the head with a steel chair. Marie has the chance to grab the highest prize in our company yet she would rather focus on revenge? Idiot.

The sound of random vehicles crashing into an immovable object plays strongly over the speaker system. The sights of buildings crumbling in the wake of a giant earthquake appear on the tron. The lights suddenly shoot to blackness and Kelli Saint appears in the center of the ring when the lights come up, sizing up her prey, preparing for the start of the match.

Torres: Coming to the ring hailing from Los Angeles, California…..weighing in at a weight of one hundred and fifty-seven pounds….standing at a height of five feet seven inches….she is Killjoy….KELLLLLLIIIIII SAINNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taj: What a change in this woman since the implosion of the Royal Court.

America: Oh come on, Taj. She's been disrespected for years. You can only take that for so long before you snap.

"No Church in the Wild" by Jay-Z & Kanye West feat. Frank Ocean & The-Dream plays as Alekia Kekoa makes his way down to the ring to a chorus of boos.

Torres: Coming to the ring next hailing from Long Beach, California….weighing in at a weight of two hundred and sixty-five pounds….standing at a height of six feet four inches….he is the Samoan War Machine….ALEKKKKKKIIIIIII KEKOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taj: This man is ready to hurt someone tonight.

America: How is that different from any other night?

"Wonderful Life" by Bring Me the Horizon blares as Jacob Striker makes his way to the ring, shrugging out of his ring coat as he goes, and while he still wipes his feet off before entering the ring, Jacob is totally focused on the matter at hand

Torres: Coming to the ring next hailing from Sleepy Hollow, New York….weighing in at a weight of two hundred and thirty-five pounds…..standing at a height of six feet even….he is a former Pride of 1WM Champion….he is a former two-time 1WM World Heavyweight Champion….he is the Straight Shooter…JACOOOOOOBBBBB STRIKEEEEERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taj: Jacob looking to get more gold added to his resume tonight.

America: He's got a chance but who knows if he can make it count?

“Believer” by Imagine Dragons pumps through the surround system of the Oakland Arena as Q, World Heavyweight Championship secured around his waist, makes her way down to the ring to the boos of the fans in attendance.

Torres: Finally coming to the ring hailing from Chicago, Illinois….weighing in at a weight of one hundred and twenty-eight pounds….standing at a height of five feet two inches….representing the Samson Family….she is the current reigning and defending 1WM World Heavyweight Champion….she is Ya Girl….QQQQQQQQQQQQQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taj: We heard at the top of the show Q’s feelings about this match. She’s not a fan one bit.

America: Why would she be, Taj? She could potentially lose the title she has strived for since Year One to five flukes climbing a ladder and grabbing the title.

The referee signals for the bell!

DING DING DING!!!

Almost immediately most of the competitors head for the ladders around the ring. Kelli slides one in and Jacob starts to set it up. William spots this and hits Jacob with a running enzuigiri. Kelli slides back into the ring, connecting with a roundhouse kick to William, knocking him down. Jacob follows with a superkick. Kelli tries to go for a right hook on Jacob---only for Jacob to hit a forearm smash right into Kelli's fist! tTe shorter woman lets out a shout of pain mixed with shock right before Jacob slams her across the face one with one forearm smash before following it up with a second, much more stiffer one! Jacob starts up the ladder and is quickly followed by Kelli. Outside the ring, Aleki takes Marie and Q down with two clotheslines. Sofia comes out of nowhere, catching the Samoan War Machine with a shining wizard.

Taj: And here we go!

America: They are getting right into it!

Sofia slides in, starting to tip the ladder. Kelli and Jacob jump off before it tips. The Entitled connects with a superkick to Jacob and then one to Kelli, knocking them both out of the ring. She picks the ladder up, putting it into position and starts to climb. Aleki enters the ring and hits Sofia with a big boot, knocking her off the ladder. He pulls Sofia up for a chokeslam, but Sofia manages to counter, landing behind Aleki, and hitting him with a butterfly neckbreaker!

Taj: Sofia is unloading here tonight!

America: I have to say she is on fire right now!

Marie knocks Sofia down with a clothesline. She connects with a spear to a rising Aleki. Marie sets the ladder up to climb. Q pulls Marie off the ladder and into a backbreaker. The World Champ starts to climb up the ladder, but William Ryder gets back into the ring, starting to climb up the other side. Aleki gets back to his feet and powerbombs William Ryder off the ladder. Marie is still climbing. Aleki turns around, tips the ladder over, and sends Marie crashing down to the mat!

Taj: Aleki cut off Marie and William from going for the 1WM World Heavyweight Championship.

America: Aleki is in his element in this type of match.

Sofia spins Aleki around and just dives into the mat with a twitching spinebuster. Sofia gets to her feet, where Q grabs him in a Samoan drop, right on the ladder. As she gets to her feet, she is blasted in the face by Kelli and Jacob, holding a second ladder. Kelli and Jacob set up their ladder. Jacob moves the second one in place. They both begin to climb.

Taj: After the back and forth on social media between Kelli and Jacob leading up to this match, I’m really surprised to see that they haven’t torn into each other already.

Q and William Ryder make their way back into the ring and start up the ladder. Kelli Saint reaches up and taps the title, but William cuts her off with a shot to the midsection. He follows with a few more. He moves into position and manages to drive Kelli into the mat with a sunset flip powerbomb! Jacob and Q make it to the title, both reaching up to grab it, and both starting to throw punches. William starts to push the ladder over. Jacob and Q hang from the hanging holding the belt, trying to knock each other down while still grabbing the title.

America: This could be it!

Aleki catches William with a chock toss and throws him out of the ring onto the floor. Seeing Jacob and Q hanging up there, Aleki folds one of the ladders and throws it at them, sending them both down to the mat, where they roll to the apron! Sofia picks the other ladder up, setting it up under the title. Sofia nails Aleki in the head with another ladder and places it leaning against the standing ladder. She starts throwing rights and lefts at Aleki. The Entitled shoots the Samoan War Machine into the ropes, connecting with a spinning backbreaker. She follows with a twisting spinebuster and moves to give Aleki some room to get to his feet. Trying to take one of her competitors out, Sofia goes for Viral (hard face slap). Aleki manages to dodge the move and catches Sofia with a massive clothesline! He pulls Sofia up and hits a Samoan drop!

Taj: Aleki is showing his violent streak here tonight.

From out of nowhere, Kelli drills Aleki with a superkick. Kelli turns around and gets driven to the mat by Marie with a spear! Marie shakes the cobwebs out, trash talking Kelli. She pulls her former Royal Court member up off the mat, but Kelli shoves her off and connects with a barrage of kicks to Marie. Kelli connects with a spinning heel kick and knocks Marie to the outside. As Marie Laurant gets to her feet, Kelli throws herself over the top rope, down on top of her with a crossbody!

The two women get to their feet. Kelli Saint goes for a kick, but Marie Laurant manages to duck and connects with a DDT. Folding a ladder, Marie puts it between the ring and the barricade, forming some sort of bridge. Marie Laurant picks Kelli on the ladder, shaking the cobwebs out. Somehow, from off the ladder, Kelli Saint manages to hit a mafia kick. She slides off the ladder, pulls Marie off the floor, and puts her on the ladder. Kelli runs the apron, jumping off the turnbuckle and hitting a Phoenixsault and breaking the ladder in half!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Kelli leans against the barricade, looking at Marie, almost with a smirk on her face, while holding her ribs.

Taj: There is no love lost between Marie and Kelli since Kelli turned on Maie last month.

America: Kelli may have taken herself out there?

Taj: Well she took out that ladder and Marie.

Aleki starts to come to, pulling himself up using the ladder. William heads into the ring, starting to hammer away at a downed Aleki. William hoists Aleki up for a snap suplex, then another, and then another. William shakes the cobwebs out and moves to the outside, waiting for Aleki to get to his feet. William launches himself at Aleki, who catches him and spins him around, driving his head into the mat with a DDT. Aleki starts to climb the ladder, heading towards the top. Jacob slides into the ring, running up the ladder, and hits Aleki with a powerbomb! Both men go crashing to the mat!

Taj: Goodness gracious! Jacob may have broken himself and Aleki in half!

America: Jacob is showing he is willing to take risks.

Taj: Jake does seem more focused and quite a bit more violent so far during this match. It’s almost like something has caused a switch to be flipped in his usually more calm and collected demeanor.

Jacob and Aleki make it back up to their respective feet in the middle of the ring. The two men have a stare down for a couple of seconds at which point the two start to exchange punches in the middle of the ring! Jake finally gets a forearm strike onto one of the Samoan’s punches, driving him backwards. Aleki comes back and they trade a couple of more shots! Jacob rears back and hits a right hook solidly into Aleki’s right temple, knocking him down from the blow. Jacob, seemingly exhausted, falls back into the corner, slumped to the floor.

Sofia starts to move the ladder into a better position. As she does, Q hits her with an exploder suplex. Opening the ladder, Q stuffs Sofia in it and slams it down on her three times! The World Champ then turns to the standing ladder, starting her climb.

Taj: And Q takes out Sofia! Q is all alone in the ring. Is this her moment?

Somehow, William has enough left to start to pull himself up and over to the ladder. He begins to climb up. Both Q and William make their way up the ladder. It is Q who makes it first, reaching for the title. William cuts her off with a forearm to the face. He reaches up for the title but she connects with a right hand and slams Ryder’s face into the ladder. William teeters but he doesn't fall. He hits another forearm and reaches. Q doesn't fall off either, but slams William's head into the ladder again!

Taj: Q and William, fighting it out at the top of the ladder with the World Heavyweight Championship right above them!

America: Oh this could be it!

Q climbs a bit higher, reaching. Sofia starts to move. Kelli starts to pull herself up and move towards the ring. Coming to, Jacob sees what is happening and moves towards the ladder, starting to push it over.

America: The ladder is coming down!

The ladder drops. William goes crashing to the mat, but Q hangs on to the hanger holding the title belt and somehow, manages to pull the title belt off! She drops to the mat, holding her Championship.

Taj: Q has retained the 1WM World Heavyweight Championship!

America: And all is right in the 1WM world!

Torres: Here is your winner….AND STILL the 1WM World Heavyweight Champion...Q!

Q rolls out of the ring, holding the title as her music plays. Jacob drops to his knees and rolls out of the ring. Kelli leans against the apron. Holding the title, Q manages to use the barricade at ringside to get to her feet and raises the title.

Taj: It was a hard fought battle, but Q pulled off a huge win tonight.

For no reason, Jacob lifts Marie up, but before he does anything, Kelli just knocks him down with a superkick! Inside the ring, Aleki is coming too. Realizing what has happened, he catches William and hits a black hole slam onto the ladder Sofia is trapped in! Aleki glares up at Q who holds the title high at the top of the entrance way stage.

Taj: Aleki is not happy about the results.

America: Why would he be? Would you be, Taj? Would I?

Taj: What a night of wrestling action here at Legendary Thirty-six “Love Hurts II” Night Two!! Thank you for watching and we’ll see you next month in Oakland for Legendary Thirty-seven! Say goodnight, America.

America: Goodnight, America!
