Seth Iser vs Reya Serra Axel Reid: Well ladies and gentleman ... there is only one way I can summarize the next contest you are about to see. It is personal, and it was made personal by one man that has held a bitter grudge for months, a man that has made it his official agenda to ruin the career and livelihood of the person that caused his disdain. Seth Iser has blatantly tried to make Reya Serra's life a living hell since VOW began, attempting to bring the Herald of Holiness down to the fiery depths by claiming that she is a fraud ... by claiming that she does not truly practice what she preaches. Tonight, Seth Iser has one goal in mind, and that is to destroy the angelic aura of Reya Serra ... once and for all. Let's go over to Jerry Heisenberg for the introductions.The bell tolls to alert the audience inside the Xcel Energy Center that the next contest is about to commence. Jerry Heisenberg stands firm in the center of the ring, but then he raises his microphone, effectively quietening the lively Minnesota crowd somewhat.Jerry Heisenberg: This next contest is a Singles Match, and it is scheduled for one fall!As soon as this announcement fades into the ether, the lights dim down inside the arena substantially. The crowd boo thunderously, knowing exactly what to expect from the blackness. That is when a familiar sound-bite flows throughout the arena."I DESERVE YOUR RESPECT!"Following the intense exclamation, "Gehenna" by Slipknot plays from the speakers, bringing the already-booing crowd to a near-deafening volume of hatred.Ruby Parvati: They can boo all they want, but they're just giving him ever the more reason to be recognized and respected.Soon enough, Vincent Moretti walks out onto the stage with a spring in his step. He is adorned in a smart white suit with a powder blue shirt, looking striking for this pivotal occasion in VOW's history. Yet the most unusual thing about Moretti is the hat he wears, which resembles nothing more than a block of cheese. The crowd do not ease their loathing, instead letting the sound linger like a sustained calling of repent. Eventually, Seth Iser, dressed in black garments that contrast Moretti's chosen attire, slowly walks through the curtain with that familiar scowl on his face. He absorbs the nuclear reaction he gets from the crowd, hardly batting an eyelid as he sets his sights on the empty ring and heads towards it.Axel Reid: And there he is. The Deity of Destruction ... ironically set to ... slay an angel here in Minneapolis...Jerry Heisenberg: Introducing first, being accompanied by his manager Vincent Moretti, he stands at 6'5" and weighs in tonight at 248lbs ... he is the "Deity of Destruction" ... SETH ISER!!!Axel Reid: Seth Iser demanded this match. At Breakthrough 5, he interrupted our Owner, Stefan Frei, and abruptly ended his information on Exposure, just to make Frei confirm a match between himself and Reya Serra. After much deliberation, and some baiting from Seth Iser, Mr Frei agreed to the match, but he did warn Seth Iser that he is not a man to be pushed and bent to another's whim. Nonetheless, Seth Iser has only one thing in mind, and that is to show the world that Reya Serra is a false idol, someone that should not be emulated or revered by the people. He believes that his words are powerful enough to change the world, as if his voice is gospel in a world blinded by hypocrisy and falsehood. He says he has foreshadowed his actions ... and apart from the actions we have seen in recent weeks ... I believe that tonight ... his actions will be the most telling of all.Ruby Parvati: I must say ... Seth Iser is looking really defined this evening. He has clearly put in extra hours at the gym for this important contest. His veins are showing in his arms, pumping blood around a body that has been ... deliciously redefined and energized ... perhaps for the sole purpose of proving that he is a better individual than Reya Serra ever hoped and prayed of being.Axel Reid: But how can an individual ... a man that has routinely insulted Reya Serra's morals and beliefs ... a man that maliciously interfered in Reya Serra's match two weeks ago and drove her onto her head with a devastating DDT ... have the audacity to say that he is better than someone else after committing such acts? You can't support that. You can't even contemplate that! He may believe it to be true, but I believe otherwise.Ruby Parvati: Well Seth Iser has been undefeated since his debut in VOW, Axel. He has conquered PKA, Vanessa ... and even Reya Serra herself. His record is something you cannot deny ... or even overlook.Axel Reid: I will admit, he has been impervious and impressive since the dawning of this company, but tonight ... we could see a different story unfold. We could see the faith that guides Reya Serra overcome the threat of Seth Iser ... avoiding his poison ... avoiding the darkness that he exudes and living on as the embodiment of goodness ... and indestructible faith.The fans near the entrance ramp continually shout obscenities at Seth Iser and Vincent Moretti, and the latter of the two returns their insults with his own collection of offensive slurs. A stray cup skims past Iser from a mistimed throw, but instead of pursuing the antagonist, Iser merely glares towards the crowd, giving them a look of foreboding should they try to disturb him again.Ruby Parvati: That was a waste of a beverage. Which idiot threw that?Iser then rolls underneath the bottom rope and performs a crucifix pose in the center of the ring which brings the lights back on, all while Moretti leaps onto the apron and illustrates a wacky pose, made even more absurd with his cheese hat obscuring the majority of his face in shadow.Axel Reid: I can't point fingers at anyone in the crowd, but I can say that Seth Iser's pose there is more than poignant. He is ready to crucify Reya Serra to the decisiveness of truth. If Seth Iser is victorious here tonight ... I don't think Reya Serra will ever be the same again.Ruby Parvati: All I saw were the lines of his abdominal muscles ... and then my mind wandered...As Moretti berates the crowd, the lights go out again. This time, there is a positive vibe that comes through the darkness, as once again the crowd know exactly what to expect. Suddenly, "Rise" by Skillet begins playing, and an all-white pyrotechnic display goes off at the top of the ramp. As the display comes to a conclusion, Reya Serra and Paxar Vega walk out onto the stage, being bathed in pure white light that channels their opposing qualities to the ones Iser and Moretti present.Axel Reid: And here comes the Herald of Holiness!Jerry Heisenberg: And his opponent, being accompanied by her manager Paxar Vega, she stands at 5'9" and weighs in tonight at 135lbs ... she is the "Herald of Holiness" ... REYA SERRA!!!Axel Reid: There are many stories in The Bible of the good and righteous overcoming the incarnations of evil, but I think the one I am about to reference aptly defines this match. For 40 days, Jesus denied the temptations of the Devil as he roamed the desert amidst the punishing heat, not having any food or water. He stuck to his values and principles with immense will-power, and he survived the entire ordeal without letting the Devil or the desert get the best of him. For over 40 days, Reya Serra has suffered greatly at the hands of Seth Iser. However, she has not quit. She has not collapsed onto her knees and declared her surrender. And tonight at Exposure, just as Jesus Christ managed to do two millennia ago, Reya Serra could very well overcome evil incarnate and maintain the faith and strength that has brought her this far in her career.Ruby Parvati: Next you'll be saying she'll walk through the valley and the shadow of death, fearing no evil ... when in actuality, she has treaded into that valley ... and now she is up against the being that inhabits that domain, a being that has tormented her, and will continue to do so, until she is no more. And unlike Jesus, Axel ... Reya will not be resurrected.Axel Reid: Maybe not, but I'm sure her message and her values will live on in memory.Ruby Parvati: But so will Seth Iser's. No matter what you believe, his words and actions will be remembered for a variety of reasons.Reya slides into the ring as Paxar remains at ringside, trying to ignore Moretti's taunts and miming actions of Reya's upcoming demise. As she stands in the ring, Reya bows her head in prayer, being smothered by loud cheers from a crowd that want to see her give Seth Iser a taste of his own medicine.Axel Reid: What will be the outcome of this personal affair? Will Reya Serra be crushed into irreparable ruin ... or will judgement fall upon Seth Iser for all he has done?Ruby Parvati: I'll say this, Axel. In order for Reya to survive, she will NEED some kind of divine intervention from her beloved Lord. But I don't see that happening. This is it for her. This will be her personal apocalypse.Once Reya concludes her prayer and lifts her downward gaze, now acknowledging and focusing on Seth Iser, the bell rings to signal the start of this anticipated and highly-intense contest. The crowd immediately show their support for Reya and condemn Iser to the pits of Hell at the same time, creating a cacophony of mixed emotions that each competitor absorbs.Axel Reid: The atmosphere in this arena right now is like nothing I have ever experienced before. These people are fully behind Reya, going against a man that I'm sure some of these people want to personally crucify on the hills of Golgotha.Ruby Parvati: They should plan an expedition then. But by the time they get there, Seth Iser would have already taught each and every one of them the meaning of respecting those that have earned respect.Axel Reid: Do you really think he's EARNED respect, after all he's done?Ruby Parvati: Well he's earned my respect ... and my increased admiration...Outside the ring, Paxar claps for Reya encouragingly, whilst Moretti verbally deals with some fans that clearly have an issue with him; particularly his hat of choice. He unleashes a tirade that the microphones on the cameras luckily do NOT detect, but once he finishes, the focus immediately shifts to the ring, where Iser and Reya slowly begin to circle each other from a distance. They both look determined, but it is Reya who makes the first move, rushing towards Iser and clubbing him with quick forearm snaps to his jaw line!Axel Reid: And there goes Reya, taking the fight to Iser from the get-go!Iser shoves Reya away with his leaner, noticeably-toned arms, creating some space for a clothesline hook ... which Reya ducks under! Following the dodge, Reya returns to clubbing Iser in the face with the side of her elbow, possibly in an attempt to damage his jaw bone and have his mouth wired shut! In order to defend himself, Iser bends his leg back, readying a solid knee strike to Reya's stomach, but Reya telegraphs the move and jumps backwards, frustrating Iser momentarily before she nails a spin kick into his mid-section! With Iser leaning forward, Reya guns it to the ropes, building momentum for a running attack. Unfortunately, Iser smartly bails from the ring to avoid the charge, forcing Reya to stop abruptly as the crowd boo the Deity's cowardice.Axel Reid: Well this is certainly different! Seth Iser has abandoned the ring to heal up from Reya's attacks, having not gotten a single shot in on the Herald thus far.Ruby Parvati: He's biding his time, Axel. In fact, I know exactly what he's doing. He's giving these people a glimmer of hope. He's making them believe that there is a silver lining, that good will conquer evil in the end. But in reality, when Reya feels like she's in control, he will crush her into particles of irrelevant dust and cast her into the wind.Axel Reid: I don't think that's the case at all, Ruby! Reya Serra is very knowledgeable when it comes to wrestling. She excels at high-flying and technical grappling, but she knows most if not all of the styles in this business. She knows that Iser relies on his fists to do the most damage, and as long as she can dodge his arms and react quick enough, she has a strong chance to take down the Deity of Destruction and keep him there.Ruby Parvati: You're forgetting something, Axel. Seth Iser knows how to escape ground holds and suplexes. She might be avoiding his strikes now, but that will soon change.After much stalling, Iser willingly enters the ring for a second time, only to have Reya rush directly at him and kick him repeatedly in the chest! The crowd continue to cheer as Reya takes advantage, nailing a Roundhouse Kick to the side of his head that only manages to stagger the more-defined veteran. Feeling confident, Reya runs to the ropes again, only to jump on the middle rope and spring back at Iser for an Axe Handle. But when she is in mid-air, Iser quickly composes himself and grabs Reya in his broad clutches, keeping her in an elevated bear hug before he savagely slams Reya onto her upper spine and shoulders with a standing Uranage! The audience immediately turn sour and boo loudly as Iser stands over Reya, a woman that is now tending to her neck with serious concern on her face.Ruby Parvati: And there it is! That's all it took to put Reya in her place, Axel!Axel Reid: We can't forget about Reya's neck issues, which I'm sure Iser will find great joy in exploiting and worsening for his benefit. She recently suffered a Deprivation DDT at Breakthrough 4 at the hands of Iser, but PKA unknowingly added to her troubles with a Powerbomb that jarred her vertebrae. Somehow, Reya kicked out of it, but she was dispatched a few seconds later by the enigmatic risk-taker.Spreading a noxious smile that can make blood run cold, the Deity pulls Reya to her feet, sets up an Irish Whip and slings her into his outstretched arm! The Short Arm Clothesline floors Reya instantly, but the whiplash effect from the position of Iser's arm is even worse. Iser goes for the cover after this deadly attack, but before the referee can count, he strangely changes his mind, rising up onto his knees and looking at the referee.Axel Reid: I wonder what sick, deprived idea Iser has just thought of now? It's probably more sick than the grin that Vincent Moretti has on his face at ringside. And by the way, what is with that cheese hat?Ruby Parvati: He's a man of unusual tastes and pleasures, Axel. He should try me some time...Naturally, Moretti is soaking up the negativity in the building as Iser slowly brings Reya back to a vertical base, but he is doing this whilst looking at his phone, half-paying attention to the contest as he feels safe in the knowledge that Iser will triumph over the Herald. On the other side of the ring, Paxar looks worried as Iser places Reya in a front face-lock, only to methodically twist Reya and himself around for a Neckbreaker! Reya jolts from the shock and impact of the move, instantly grabbing her neck as Iser sits on his buttocks and mock-applauds the booing audience. "Was that awesome, huh?" he yells to the angry fans, almost inciting a mob riot as they boo thunderously."YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!" they chant to Iser's stoic response, now desensitized to this old-fashioned chant and ignoring it completely as he stands up and presses his boot on Reya's neck.Axel Reid: How hideously appropriate this event could be for Seth Iser ... using this Exposure PPV as a platform to expose Reya as a fraud in front of these fans and those who are watching at home.Ruby Parvati: And she will be deemed a fraud, Axel, because she is not strong enough to stop Seth Iser from exposing the truth. Now look at Iser manhandling Reya with those eye-catching arms, just pulling her up as if she's nothing. There's an Irish Whip ... and Reya just slammed into the turnbuckles and fell to the canvas like she was driven into a brick wall! That is power, Axel. That is the power Iser possesses, both psychically and mentally.Axel Reid: But there is no truth behind Iser's claims! Reya is genuine! She is as true as true is! She gives light to those in need of guidance, those in need of love and care, and Seth Iser wants to end all of that because he is a sadistic human being that does not care at all about humanity!Ruby Parvati: These people don't care about Seth Iser, Axel. He is doing unto them as they have done unto him ... for several years! THEY cast him aside, THEY treated him as an afterthought, and when Seth became upset with their ignorance, they turned on him like cockroaches! Now he is going to step on every single one of them, spilling their guts and making them pay for not giving him the respect he rightfully deserves! And the way he is going to make them pay is through Reya Serra, a woman these people gravitate to because they are scared of the inevitable. They are scared to accept the truth that pain and misery exists, and are not willing to go through life without someone there to hold their hand ... especially someone that represents an angelic symbol to give them false hope. THAT is the fraud, Axel, and whether you like it or not, that is the TRUTH.Instead of whipping Reya to the opposite corner again, Iser pulls the Herald into another front face-lock, pops his hips and delivers a near-perfect Snap Suplex on the Faithbringer. Iser then rolls over into a lackadaisical cover, making sure to press his forearm onto Reya's cheek to assert more strength into his cover.1 . . .2 . .Reya shoots her far shoulder up, wincing from the pain of the simple kick-out. Not affected by this at all, Iser sits Reya up and snaps on a chin lock, holding it in deep with his weight pressing down onto Reya's neck to weaken the sensitive part of her body.Axel Reid: The more Seth Iser works on Reya Serra's neck, the greater her battle becomes to not only survive, but to muster the courage to gain an advantage over him. But this chin lock is a great example of why Seth Iser is an evil genius. Not only is he damaging Reya's neck further, but he is forcing Reya to exert so much energy just to BREATHE.Ruby Parvati: This is why he's undefeated in VOW, Axel. Seth Iser knows how to strategically limit his opponent's offense, making sure that the moves they rely upon to end contests become ineffective.Not willing to give up hope, the crowd in St Paul encourage Reya to fight on, even as Iser momentarily twists Reya's neck to tighten his hold. Feeding off the support, Reya raises her arms to the heavens, as if wanting to absorb God's power in order to escape this hold. Somehow, Reya does garner a surge of energy, but it is mostly used so that she can fight to a standing position. Iser continues to lean on Reya as she sags, weakening at the knees. Suddenly, Reya pops an elbow into Iser's stomach, causing him to flinch and loosen his hold slightly!Axel Reid: Reya is not going to give up just yet! She's hit one elbow on Seth already ... and there is another one! And a third! And there's a fourth!After the fifth successive elbow strike, Iser finally relinquishes the hold, succumbing to the discomfort in his stomach and feeling the tender region. Despite the pain in her neck, Reya sacrifices her health with a Jawbreaker on the Deity, stunning him substantially as he rocks on unsteady legs! The crowd can feel the change coming as they react with a positive vibe, watching Reya kick Iser in the stomach and lock him in for a Russian Leg Sweep! However, Iser blocks the move and pulls Reya into another facelock, only for his face to significantly change!Axel Reid: Oh no, not the Dep...Before Axel can even finish his train of thought, Reya surprises Iser by spinning out of the facelock, separating his arm from his body, and landing a Roundhouse Kick to his bicep! Iser grunts from the blow and tends to his affected arm, which Reya instinctively capitalizes on as she goes low and takes Iser down with a dropkick to the crook of his knee!Axel Reid: I was expecting a Deprivation DDT from Iser, but Reya managed to avoid it and kick Iser's best arm! The thing is, that may just be Reya's saving grace. If she can damage Iser's best arm, then a ton of his arsenal will fall by the wayside!Ruby Parvati: I guess Reya is not as dumb as I thought she was...Axel Reid: How can you think Reya Serra is dumb? How can ANYONE think that?!Routinely stomping on Iser's arm proves effective for the Herald, and she continues to do so as Iser tries to roll away and regroup. Grimacing from the constant pain in her neck, Reya shows a more aggressive side as she pursues Iser, eventually stopping him from rolling outside the ring with a Leg Grapevine! However, Iser grabs the ropes hastily, forcing the referee to issue a break that Reya has to obey. She does so, and that is when Iser rolls outside to loud boos, still tending to his arm as he scowls menacingly.Axel Reid: Seth Iser now outside the ring again. He seems to be talking to himself, as if psyching himself for a recharge. That's what I can only ass ... AHHHH!!Just like Axel, the crowd scream in surprise as Reya comes FLYING OVER THE ROPES ONTO SETH ISER WITH A CROSSBODY BLOCK! Whilst Iser was outside the ring, Reya willingly climbed the turnbuckle and dove off onto the Deity, flooring him instantly after being taken unawares by the airborne Herald! Paxar even looks shocked she did that, risking her health once again in order to keep Iser subdued! As for Moretti, his wide eyes tell the entire story, looking as though he is frozen in time with his mouth clamped shut.Ruby Parvati: Okay, she's not dumb. She's just CRAZY!Axel Reid: Whenever you see Reya Serra take a risk like that, you know she is doing it for a distinct purpose! Tonight, that purpose is to defeat Seth Iser and cement herself as the Herald of Holiness, to eradicate the claims of being fraudulent and a sham and to give these people a sight they have been dreaming for since the beginning of VOW!Reya is the first to get up, despite the twinges in her neck that are limiting her progress. She tends to her neck before she focuses on Iser, helping the Deity to his feet and putting him in a facelock. But before Reya can do anything, Iser suddenly charges forward and drives Reya spine first into the edge of the ring apron!Axel Reid: Ouch! That ring apron is hard and unforgiving, ladies and gentleman! If you land on it, you will get hurt. Even being pushed into it can mess up your anatomy in a variety of ways!Now feeling her back instead of her neck, Reya is now suspectible to Seth Iser's power. He uppercuts Reya a couple of times before he grabs her across his body and falls backwards, throwing Reya over himself with a Fallaway Slam onto the floor!Axel Reid: Fallaway Slam on to the floor from Seth Iser! If Reya's spine wasn't hurting enough, it certainly is now!Ruby Parvati: With her neck and back in that condition, it's only a matter of time before Iser puts the final nails into her crucifix and props her up for all to see.Axel Reid: That is a disturbing image, Ruby.Ruby Parvati: I've seen a lot of disturbing things in my lifetime, Axel ... some of which you won't believe...Renergized from the physical throw, Iser snarls as he rolls Reya back into the ring. A quick slide under the bottom rope follows, as does a heavy cover!1 . . .2 . .No, Reya got her shoulder up! Not wasting time, Iser pulls Reya back to a vertical base and whips her into the turnbuckle. Reya starts to slump away from the pads, but she is pressed deep into the turnbuckles after a running clothesline from the Deity! Afterwards, Iser grabs Reya's head and glares around the arena, foreshadowing a running Bullog that he connects with! Another cover follows, this time with Iser using more leverage!1 . . .2 . . .No, Reya kicks out again, showing her toughness!Axel Reid: Reya Serra persists, but how much energy is she losing just by staying in this match?Ruby Parvati: She's losing energy that could be spent forfeiting and living to fight another day as a fraud.Axel Reid: Are you serious with that statement?Going back to the basics, Iser slaps on a grounded Sleeper Hold on the Herald, using his muscular frame to lean on Reya's shoulder and press the oxygen out of her weakened body.Axel Reid: And now Seth Iser goes right back to work on that neck. But instead of a chin lock, he has a sleeper hold set in. If Reya does not get out of this soon, this could spell the end of the contest.Ruby Parvati: And there these idiots go once again, cheering for their fraudulent hero!Just as Parvati mentioned, the crowd begins stomping their feet in perfect unison. Hoping they can somehow convince Reya to fight her way out of the sleeper that Iser currently has sinched in. She begins to shake her fist repeatedly, an indiciation that she does plan to do just that as she gradually wills her way to one knee from a seated position. Seth continues to apply pressure but Serra, despite severe pain in her neck, manages to deliver an elbow into his abdomen as he gasps. Several more follow as just like earlier on, she causes enough damage to force his grasp to loosen. Just enough so she can get to a vertical base now, though still hunched over slightly. She gets her feet moving and while maintaining a firm grip around her opponent's waist, charges back towards the ropes, then slingshotting Iser off in the opposite direction. Axel Reid: She broke the hold!Iser darts back at her, allowing himself to gather momentum as Reya attempts a clothesline, which Iser ducks underneath and hits the opposite end ropes. Reya is quick to turn around and just in time to duck a lariat attempt from the Deity of Destruction, but this time... Iser elects to stop. He turns around, only to be met with a thunderous kick to the gut which forces him to bend forward. Reya applies a front facelock!Ruby Parvati: She's about to... NO! ISER POWERS OUT!Seth grabs her by the same wrist that is wrapped around his throat, spinning out of her DDT attempt and then executes a brutal shot to her mid section now as she bends over now. He places her head firmly under his own arm as the fans boo loudly.Axel Reid: Here comes the Depriva... NO! Reya countered into a single leg takedown!Much to Iser's surprise, Serra had managed to throw him off balance just enough to not only break free from his grip, but also put him clear on his back with a takedown of sorts. She wastes no time, grabbing one of his two legs, and then allowing herself to spin around it. She then grabbed the other leg and sat back down on the canvas, hooking a now squirming Iser in the Figure Four Leg Lock!Ruby Parvati: No! Not the Figure Four!Axel Reid: With the type of damage Iser's knees have taken over the years, this is probably the worst possible hold he could find himself in! And Reya is really putting pressure on those knee joints!Seth continues to inch his way toward the ropes and eventually grabs hold of them, causing the official to break up the leg lock! But the sensation of pain shooting through both of his legs is now evident as he grimaces while grabbing hold of the ropes to steady himself. Reya is also up on her feet as she darts toward her vulnerable opponent, But Iser is up! He throws every ounce of strength he has into another clothesline attempt, but that too is ducked by the Herald! As he whirls around in a fit of anger, he again charges her, but this time Reya drops to the mat and takes Iser with her with a picture perfect drop toe hold! Wasting no time, she gets up into a crouched position and leaps onto Iser's back before he can recover, locking him in her signature Dragon Clutch, right in the middle of the ring!Axel Reid: There it is, folks! The Final Judgement, right in the middle of the ring! Iser managed to escape the Figure Four, but this hold is World's apart from that one! Seth struggles desperately to break free, hands flailing about wildly as Reya continues to pull back on his neck, contorting his body in the most discomforting way imaginable. Without warning, however, Iser manages to power up to his knees and hands as he begins to slither his way to the ropes in front of him, but the crowd is brought clear out of their seats when Serra pulls back with such force that Iser collapses back down to the mat, still in a great deal of pain.Ruby Parvati: He'd better get to those ropes! Come on Seth! Don't fall short on your word now! Axel Reid: I don't think he can hear you, Ruby. He's too busy fighting that brutal submission hold! But he has moved somewhat closer to the ropes!Once gain, Iser exhibits impressive resiliency as he gets back to all fours, working his way toward the ropes in dramatic fashion. Meanwhile, Moretti is slapping the apron to egg Iser on while Paxar is also cheering Reya on. Suddenly, Iser lunges his right arm forward and it MAKES CONTACT WITH THE ROPE! He grabs hold as the referee now is forced to pull a somewhat surprised Reya Serra off her adversary!Axel Reid: I don't know how he managed, but Seth Iser not only fought off the pain of Final Judgement.. but he forced the ref to break the hold!Ruby Parvati: That's what I'm talking about! That man is the future of VOW, simply put!Axel Reid: Not if the Herald has anything to say about it!Iser attempts to shake off the pain as he trees to get to his feet, while Reya shows off her aggressive side once more, running directly at Seth.. Out of nowhere, he launches her upward as her neck crashes down onto the top rope hard!! This act causes her to bounce away from the ring ropes, yet landing on her feet as she stumbles around uncontrollably. Iser Quickly grabs her around the waist from behind and drills her hard into the canvas with a German Suplex! Reya lands right on her neck and head as the ref slaps the mat as a smattering of boos fire up in the background!1 . . .2 . . .3 . . ?REYA BARELY GETS A SHOULDER UP!Axel Reid: What a series of moves by Iser! First he stunned his opponent with that move which utilized the top rope and then he planted her with a high impact German Suplex! And that was almost good enough to get the win, Ruby!Ruby Parvati: Everything that man does is either 'almost' good enough, or it is just enough!Clearly disgruntled by the kick-out, Iser spends time thinking on his knees. Eventually, he pauses before releasing a slow breath, standing up from his knelt position and winding up his arm for a common threat! He beckons Reya to stand, and the Herald, by no command of Iser's, begins to do so instinctively, not knowing what ultimately awaits her as she finds her feet.Axel Reid: Reya may have kicked out of that German Suplex, but I fear a worst fate is to follow!Ruby Parvati: Here comes the Injection of Poison!Iser readies the imminent submission, gesturing with his hand Reya's impending doom. Once Reya turns towards Iser, he lunges his arm forward ... only to have Reya block the grip and kick it away with a wild swing of her leg! Iser feels his arm and shakes it quickly, not wanting to lose focus of his desired objective. But as he returns his vision to Reya, the Herald jumps up and lands a SUPER KICK on his jaw, driving Iser backwards and through the middle rope to the outside!Axel Reid: WHOA! Reya blocked the Injection of Poison, and now Iser finds himself grounded on the outside!Ruby Parvati: I don't know how Reya had the will-power to jump up with her neck and back in that state!Paxar and Moretti keep their distance from the action, but Moretti does look perturbed. As the crowd cheer, they anticipate Reya's next move, murmuring with excitement as Reya readies herself for another dive. She runs as fast as she can to the ropes, rebounding off them to sprint across the ring, whereby she leaps THROUGH THE TOP AND MIDDLE ROPES WITH A SUICIDE DIVE ... ONLY TO HAVE ISER PUNCH REYA IN MID-AIR, KNOCKING HER TO THE FLOOR!Ruby Parvati: WOW! What a counter from Seth Iser! He saw that coming a mile away!Axel Reid: Perhaps Reya projected that incoming missile TOO well. That was her undoing, and now SHE is on the ground, just like Iser was a few moments ago.After boring a hole through a concerned Paxar, Iser looks down at Reya and proceeds to drag her up to her feet. Reya is left vulnerable for a Powerbomb from Iser, which he aims towards the hard ring apron that damaged Reya's back a while ago!Axel Reid: Wait, NO! Don't do this, Seth!But before Iser can complete the lethal Powerbomb onto the apron, Reya finds the strength to hammer him in the face with a forearm! Now fighting for her very life, not just her career, Reya clubs Iser several more times, causing the Deity to falter and weaken his grip on Reya! As the crowd cheer on Reya's survival, the Herald swivels her hips and twists towards the ground, propelling Iser towards the apron with a Swinging Headscissors! The momentum causes Iser to lose his balance, and as he falls towards the unforgiving apron, his FACE BASHES THE EDGE OF THE APRON, resulting in ecstatic cheers and horrified gasps from the audience!Axel Reid: OH MY GOD! Iser's face just cracked against that ring apron!Ruby Parvati: What have you done, Reya?! What kind of moral person are you?!Iser immediately covers his face as he slumps onto the floor, obviously in severe pain from the unexpected collision. Moretti screams at the referee to disqualify Reya for the move, but the referee says that is not a punishable offense, and thus the match must continue. Even Paxar is not sure what to think as Reya pushes herself up from the floor, but neither she nor her best friend are going to sympathize with or help a man that has tormented their lives for weeks on end.Axel Reid: That was ... a disgusting fall. Seth Iser could have a broken nose. He could have a busted jaw!Ruby Parvati: He could have a concussion, Axel! You mentioned before how hard those ring aprons are!Once Reya fully stands up, Seth Iser, being jeered all the while from the crowd, pushes himself up to his knees. As Reya, Paxar, Moretti and the rest of the viewing audience see collectively, the side of Iser's face is already discoloured from intense bruising. So intense, in fact, that his eye is firmly closed, swelling at an alarming rate with the rest of his damaged cheek.Axel Reid: Oh God. That looks ... that looks like a broken orbital bone! I can't be sure, but the swelling and dark bruising is a strong indication that he has suffered that kind of injury!Ruby Parvati: Stop the match. A wrestler is hurt, for goodness sake!Axel Reid: I'm not sure how to feel right now. I mean ... all the things Seth Iser has done, and now karma has struck him down at Exposure! I know that sounds bad, but it seems like poetic justice to me!Knowing she has to capitalize on Iser's battered state, Reya kicks Iser in the side, not wanting to focus on his face or eye due to her compassionate nature. Stinging from the pain, Iser rolls inside the ring, and Reya follows him. Some of the fans in the arena start a "YOU GOT F'D!" chant, making sure to decently erase the popular swear word from their chant so that they can keep VOW in safe territory. As soon as he gets up again, Iser wildly swings towards Reya, but the Herald dodges the attack with clearer vision than her opponent, all before kneeing him in the lower spine and then draping him back for a REVERSE DDT!!Axel Reid: Reverse DDT from Reya Serra! This may be her chance to finish Seth Iser off!Ruby Parvati: What do you mean her "chance"? She has plenty of chances now since Seth Iser is half-blind and fighting with a shattered orbital bone! If she had any common decency, if she WAS true to her passionate nature, she would stop this match and win by default! But no, she is NOT acting like a decent woman! She is acting just like everyone else, the same people that Seth Iser rightfully calls out for hypocrisy and double standards!Not covering Iser straight away, Reya instead runs to ropes and springs off them with a LIONSAULT onto Iser! Only then does she hook his leg for a cover, making the referee scramble into position to make the count!1 . . .2 . . .NO, Seth Iser manages to kick out despite the immense agony he is clearly in!Ruby Parvati: But look at Seth, kicking out of the Lionsault! He is a TRUE man with TRUE heart, Axel!Axel Reid: Oh that's absurd! Reya did NOTHING to provoke the reaction from Seth Iser that she has suffered through for over a month! He abused her, ridiculed her and threatened to end her career, and all because Reya counters a Powerbomb that COULD HAVE VERY WELL put Reya out of commission for good, Seth Iser is all of a sudden the VICTIM?!Ruby Parvati: He IS the victim, Axel! He always has been! You're just too stupid to know it!With the crowd clapping furiously, inspiring Reya to continue and maintain her advantage, Reya feels her neck with resurfacing discomfort. That is before she notices the nearest corner, and after looking at a recovering Seth Iser briefly, Reya decides to climb to the top once more, possibly for the last time in this dramatic contest!Axel Reid: Reya Serra is climbing the top rope! Could this be the final attack that puts Seth Iser down for good?!Ruby Parvati: Look at Vincent Moretti on the outside! He is absolutely livid!Reya waits for the battered Iser to stand up, which he does without resorting to using the ropes or the referee as a support. After being perched on the top rope for a few seconds, Reya purposefully leaps off with a SHOOTING STAR PRESS ... only to hook Iser's head after the rotation and plant him onto the canvas with a DDT!! The crowd explode with cheers, and even Paxar leaps with joy as Reya slumps over Iser for the cover!!Axel Reid: SHOOTING STAR DDT! REYA HAS THE COVER!The referee slides into action near the ropes and begins to count Iser's shoulders down!1 . . .2 . . .Suddenly, Moretti PULLS the referee out of the ring under the bottom rope, saving Seth Iser from losing the match!!Axel Reid: WAIT! Moretti just pulled the referee outside of the ring, and I don't think Seth Iser kicked out! That should have been THREE!The referee, completely justified with his behaviour, shouts at Moretti for interrupting his count. Moretti tries to make up a valid excuse, saying that Iser has a facial injury and should be taken to the hospital, but the referee is having none of it. He theatrically shakes his head, and as the crowd boo viciously, he wildly points his arm towards the backstage area, yelling at Moretti that he is being BARRED FROM RINGSIDE!!Axel Reid: And Moretti has been ordered to go backstage! HE IS OUT OF HERE!Ruby Parvati: WHY?! HE WAS HELPING HIS CLIENT IN A TIME OF PERIL!Appalled by the decision, Moretti rips off his cheese hat and throws it at as it just misses the referee and instead falls through the ropes, inside the ring. The referee doesn't rule this as a Disqualification victory for Reya though, but he does persist in telling Moretti to leave. The crowd become wrapped up in the ongoing fiasco and cheer his impending departure, which riles Moretti up more!Ruby Parvati: The referee should not tell a manager to leave when he is being a sympathetic, caring friend, something that Reya Serra, Paxar Vega and THIS referee are NOT being!Axel Reid: And what job is that? To blatantly cheat and cost another competitor a fair victory?! He stopped Reya from winning this match decisively, and he is being punished for it! I truly believe that karma is taking its toll on Moretti and Iser tonight, and rightfully so!Ruby Parvati: You are sick, Axel! You may be handsome and sexy, but you are SO wrong!Axel Reid: I hate to say it, but Seth Iser deserved this! Vincent Moretti deserved this! They both deserve everything they are getting right now, and no one in this building can dispute that. Well, except you!A team of security guards arrive to escort Moretti from the premises, forcing him to leave his cheese hat behind. Paxar seems to be enjoying the festivities, knowing he will not be a problem for Reya now. However, as Moretti gets near the entrance ramp, he spots Paxar and flips her off, calling her a bunch of names that seemingly get under Paxar's skin. Having enough of Moretti's foul mouth, Paxar storms towards him, but stops abruptly.Axel Reid: And now Paxar has gone over to Moretti after he took his frustrations out on her. What's going to happen here?Moretti once again screams at Paxar, who stares a hole through him. Suddenly, she rears back and LEVELS MORETTI WITH A SLAP, knocking the taste out of his mouth and making him stumble towards the guardrail!! The crowd cheer as Moretti feels his face in shock, but the punishment does not end there! Paxar then rushes at Moretti, and the much smaller, diminutive woman PUSHES HIM OVER THE GUARDRAIL INTO THE CROWD WITH A CLOTHESLINE, dumping him on his head and leaving him upside down in a helpless heap!Axel Reid: Paxar just slapped and clotheslined Moretti into the crowd, and now he has been left at the feet of the people he has insulted not only tonight, but for months!Ruby Parvati: That assault was uncalled for! She should be evicted too!Axel Reid: She was provoked, Ruby! Paxar had enough of Moretti and made him eat his words ... and maybe a few of his teeth!With the fans clambering over each other to get their hands on Moretti, the security guards fight to restore order at ringside, along with the referee in charge of officiating the contest. Meanwhile, inside the ring, Reya finally gets to her feet and staggers to the openness of the ring's central point. She is clearly hurting, but not as much as Seth Iser, whose bruised, swollen face can generate nightmares. Operating on nothing but persistence, Iser struggles to his feet and moves towards Reya, who connects with a Spinning Kick to his abdomen! The Deity of Destruction stumbles back from the blow, recoiling defensively until Reya flies at him with a SHINING WIZARD!!Axel Reid: There's a Shining Wizard from Reya! It looks like Seth Iser has nothing left!Seeing that the referee is busy dealing with the guards as they forcibly escort Moretti and Paxar to the backstage area, Reya takes the time to recuperate, breathing heavily as she feels her neck. Once the ringside conflict has been settled, the crowd look towards the ring, cheering on Reya as she gets back up to her feet and says something unto herself. Meanwhile, the Deity of Destruction gradually recovers from the Shining Wizard, painfully forcing himself to his knees and gazing at the Herald with only one useful eye. Now she is the one in control. Now she is the one looking upon the damaged and scarred, now having Seth Iser's fate in the palms of her hands. And as the two competitors stare at one another, Reya knows it to be true.Axel Reid: Look at this scene. Holiness is standing over evilness, and how ironic is it that after all of the talk, after all of the promises, it is Seth Iser that kneels in pain at the face of judgement.Ruby Parvati: Reya should show mercy on Seth Iser. She should be the Good Samaritan and tend to his wounds!Axel Reid: Reya is able to forgive and help those in need ... but I do not believe she can forgive Seth Iser for what he has hideously done.Defying the cruelty of karma, Seth Iser agonizingly scowls and spits towards Reya's feet. After looking at the saliva trail on the canvas, the Herald closes her eyes, as if formulating an inner prayer. But once her eyes open again, Reya jumps towards Iser and snaps his head back with a SUPER KICK, sending him to the canvas in a slow fall that mirrors a timber tree falling in the woods!!Axel Reid: AND THERE IS THE EXCLAMATION POINT! HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED!Reya falls to her knees and hooks Iser's leg, looking around for the referee. Fortunately for Reya, the referee slides into the ring as soon as she makes the cover, hurriedly getting into position to once again count Iser out!1 . . .2 . . .3???NO! NO! SETH ISER KICKS OUT AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!!Axel Reid: BUT SOMEHOW THE DEVIL WILLS ISER TO LIVE ON! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!Ruby Parvati: Now do you believe, Axel?! Reya Serra cannot beat Seth Iser! Her light is not strong enough!Axel Reid: That won't stop her from trying! And against someone like Seth Iser, you have to!After what has seemed like a grueling match that has clearly taken it's toll on both combatants, both physically and psychologically... Reya aims to put an end to it as she gets off of Iser and then pushes herself to a vertical base. The pain in her neck and back all too noticeable by now. She slowly makes her way toward Iser who is just about as worse for wear as Serra is. He grabs him by the hair of his head, pulling the Deity of Destruction up... when out of left field, he delivers a knee to her abdomen and hooks her up in a face lock! Driving her hard into the mat with a sickening thud. Much to the disapproval of the booing fans!Ruby Parvati: Deprivation DDT! He hit it! There's the cover!Axel Reid: That came out of nowhere, Ruby! Will this be it?!1 . . .2 . . .3 . . ?. . .NO! REYA SERRA KICKED OUT?!Ruby Parvati: No freaking way! She just kicked out of Iser's bread and butter move! How?! It's not possible!Axel Reid: The light still burns brightly within the Herald, Ruby! And maybe now Iser is starting to think, just as you thought Reya was... that he can't snuff out the light! No matter what he pulls from his arsenal!Iser immediately moves off of Reya with a look of pure disbelief on his face as the crowd is cheering so loud that the roof might just blow off the Xcel Energy Center! He then rolls over and ends up on top of the cheese hat that had been left behind earlier by the now exiled Vincent Moretti. The official stares at Reya, then at Iser as both combatants are down. Completely exhausted from their battle.Axel Reid: The ref has no other choice but to administer the standing ten count! Ruby Parvati: No!! It can't end in a draw, Axel! Iser has to win this match!Axel Reid: You're entitled to your opinion, but I'd argue that this is a must win situation for Reya Serra as well!1...2...3...4...Both Iser and Serra begin to stir. Seth more so than his foe.5...6...Seth reaches into the interior of the cheese hat and pulls out something shiny. Rectangular in shape, but he quickly conceals it before the referee can take notice. Axel Reid: What did he pull from that head wear?!Ruby Parvati: What, are you delusional or something?7...8...Reya and Iser are trying to get to their feet!9.... . . SETH IS UP! SO IS REYA!Axel Reid: I think this is about to come down to one final push from both competitors!Reya and Iser's breathing patterns are equally labored as both hesitate for a second. Suddenly, they lunge forward as Reya goes for a left hand, but it's blocked by the Deity of Destruction. Out of nowhere, he retaliates with a right hand of his own! One with such force that it causes his opponent to hit the canvas in a heap as Iser falls on top of her now lifeless body! However, the strange thing is that it didn't sound like a normal impact. Instead, more like metal had contacted with Reya's skull!!Axel Reid: I knew I saw him reach into that hat for something! And the ref didn't catch it! No! It can't end this way!1 . . .2 . . .Axel Reid: Kick out, Reya! Come on!3 . . ?DING! DING! DING!Axel Reid: What a cheap way to beat someone who took Iser well past his limits! Reya managed to kick out of his signature DDT, but she just couldn't stand up to the use of whatever the heck that was in Iser's hand! I'm disgusted beyond words right now, Ruby!Ruby Parvati: There you go again, seeing things. You need glasses, Axel!Axel Reid: I already wear glasses!Ruby Parvati: Then clean the lenses? Seth Iser just won a tremendously grueling match and you have the gull to question the legitimacy of his victory? But most of all, he finally proved Reya to be the fraud he always knew she was! Finally, the truth is out!Axel Reid: This was flat out robbery, Ruby! Nothing more, nothing less!Jerry Heisenberg: Ladies and gentleman... The winner of this match via pinfall... THE DEITY OF DESTRUCTION!! SETH ISER!!! "Gehennas" by Slipknot hits the speakers but the sounds of the music is nearly overwhelmed by the chorus of boos Iser is receiving as he stumbles to his feet. He stares down at the fallen Reya Serra for a moment before turning his back and exiting the ring. All the while, holding the same region in which was seriously injured earlier in the match. That being the swollen shut eye due to his orbital socket most likely being broken. He eventually turns back to take one final glance at Serra, who is just now coming to but also holding the side of her face in extreme discomfort from the use of that foreign object by Iser. Seth shows the faint sign of a smirk before turning his back and disappearing behind the curtain. Reya slowly gets to her feet now as the crowd on hand gives her a standing ovation.Ruby Parvati: She was 'exposed' and yet these morons still cheer for her?! What the heck is this madness?!Axel Reid: Maybe they're giving her credit for not only taking the fight to the man who tried to ruin her life, but also for nearly beating him? If I'm being totally honest, she may have very well done it had Iser not resorted to hitting her in the face with that mysterious object!Ruby Parvati: What's so mysterious about the man's fist? Axel Reid: Don't play coy with me, Ruby. You know exactly what I'm referring to! Anyway folks, coming up next we'll see our first ever Weapon of Choice match between Cera and Tha Joka. One that's been a long time coming! Don't go anywhere!The feed cuts to a commercial break, with the last image we see being Reya standing in the ring. Looking heart broken that she couldn't set out what she ultimately hoped to accomplish, but also being showered with cheers from an electrified crowd.Seth Iser vs Reya Serra
Axel Reid: Well ladies and gentleman ... there is only one way I can summarize the next contest you are about to see. It is personal, and it was made personal by one man that has held a bitter grudge for months, a man that has made it his official agenda to ruin the career and livelihood of the person that caused his disdain. Seth Iser has blatantly tried to make Reya Serra's life a living hell since VOW began, attempting to bring the Herald of Holiness down to the fiery depths by claiming that she is a fraud ... by claiming that she does not truly practice what she preaches. Tonight, Seth Iser has one goal in mind, and that is to destroy the angelic aura of Reya Serra ... once and for all. Let's go over to Jerry Heisenberg for the introductions.The bell tolls to alert the audience inside the Xcel Energy Center that the next contest is about to commence. Jerry Heisenberg stands firm in the center of the ring, but then he raises his microphone, effectively quietening the lively Minnesota crowd somewhat.Jerry Heisenberg: This next contest is a Singles Match, and it is scheduled for one fall!As soon as this announcement fades into the ether, the lights dim down inside the arena substantially. The crowd boo thunderously, knowing exactly what to expect from the blackness. That is when a familiar sound-bite flows throughout the arena."I DESERVE YOUR RESPECT!"Following the intense exclamation, "Gehenna" by Slipknot plays from the speakers, bringing the already-booing crowd to a near-deafening volume of hatred.Ruby Parvati: They can boo all they want, but they're just giving him ever the more reason to be recognized and respected.Soon enough, Vincent Moretti walks out onto the stage with a spring in his step. He is adorned in a smart white suit with a powder blue shirt, looking striking for this pivotal occasion in VOW's history. Yet the most unusual thing about Moretti is the hat he wears, which resembles nothing more than a block of cheese. The crowd do not ease their loathing, instead letting the sound linger like a sustained calling of repent. Eventually, Seth Iser, dressed in black garments that contrast Moretti's chosen attire, slowly walks through the curtain with that familiar scowl on his face. He absorbs the nuclear reaction he gets from the crowd, hardly batting an eyelid as he sets his sights on the empty ring and heads towards it.Axel Reid: And there he is. The Deity of Destruction ... ironically set to ... slay an angel here in Minneapolis...Jerry Heisenberg: Introducing first, being accompanied by his manager Vincent Moretti, he stands at 6'5" and weighs in tonight at 248lbs ... he is the "Deity of Destruction" ... SETH ISER!!!Axel Reid: Seth Iser demanded this match. At Breakthrough 5, he interrupted our Owner, Stefan Frei, and abruptly ended his information on Exposure, just to make Frei confirm a match between himself and Reya Serra. After much deliberation, and some baiting from Seth Iser, Mr Frei agreed to the match, but he did warn Seth Iser that he is not a man to be pushed and bent to another's whim. Nonetheless, Seth Iser has only one thing in mind, and that is to show the world that Reya Serra is a false idol, someone that should not be emulated or revered by the people. He believes that his words are powerful enough to change the world, as if his voice is gospel in a world blinded by hypocrisy and falsehood. He says he has foreshadowed his actions ... and apart from the actions we have seen in recent weeks ... I believe that tonight ... his actions will be the most telling of all.Ruby Parvati: I must say ... Seth Iser is looking really defined this evening. He has clearly put in extra hours at the gym for this important contest. His veins are showing in his arms, pumping blood around a body that has been ... deliciously redefined and energized ... perhaps for the sole purpose of proving that he is a better individual than Reya Serra ever hoped and prayed of being.Axel Reid: But how can an individual ... a man that has routinely insulted Reya Serra's morals and beliefs ... a man that maliciously interfered in Reya Serra's match two weeks ago and drove her onto her head with a devastating DDT ... have the audacity to say that he is better than someone else after committing such acts? You can't support that. You can't even contemplate that! He may believe it to be true, but I believe otherwise.Ruby Parvati: Well Seth Iser has been undefeated since his debut in VOW, Axel. He has conquered PKA, Vanessa ... and even Reya Serra herself. His record is something you cannot deny ... or even overlook.Axel Reid: I will admit, he has been impervious and impressive since the dawning of this company, but tonight ... we could see a different story unfold. We could see the faith that guides Reya Serra overcome the threat of Seth Iser ... avoiding his poison ... avoiding the darkness that he exudes and living on as the embodiment of goodness ... and indestructible faith.The fans near the entrance ramp continually shout obscenities at Seth Iser and Vincent Moretti, and the latter of the two returns their insults with his own collection of offensive slurs. A stray cup skims past Iser from a mistimed throw, but instead of pursuing the antagonist, Iser merely glares towards the crowd, giving them a look of foreboding should they try to disturb him again.Ruby Parvati: That was a waste of a beverage. Which idiot threw that?Iser then rolls underneath the bottom rope and performs a crucifix pose in the center of the ring which brings the lights back on, all while Moretti leaps onto the apron and illustrates a wacky pose, made even more absurd with his cheese hat obscuring the majority of his face in shadow.Axel Reid: I can't point fingers at anyone in the crowd, but I can say that Seth Iser's pose there is more than poignant. He is ready to crucify Reya Serra to the decisiveness of truth. If Seth Iser is victorious here tonight ... I don't think Reya Serra will ever be the same again.Ruby Parvati: All I saw were the lines of his abdominal muscles ... and then my mind wandered...As Moretti berates the crowd, the lights go out again. This time, there is a positive vibe that comes through the darkness, as once again the crowd know exactly what to expect. Suddenly, "Rise" by Skillet begins playing, and an all-white pyrotechnic display goes off at the top of the ramp. As the display comes to a conclusion, Reya Serra and Paxar Vega walk out onto the stage, being bathed in pure white light that channels their opposing qualities to the ones Iser and Moretti present.Axel Reid: And here comes the Herald of Holiness!Jerry Heisenberg: And his opponent, being accompanied by her manager Paxar Vega, she stands at 5'9" and weighs in tonight at 135lbs ... she is the "Herald of Holiness" ... REYA SERRA!!!Axel Reid: There are many stories in The Bible of the good and righteous overcoming the incarnations of evil, but I think the one I am about to reference aptly defines this match. For 40 days, Jesus denied the temptations of the Devil as he roamed the desert amidst the punishing heat, not having any food or water. He stuck to his values and principles with immense will-power, and he survived the entire ordeal without letting the Devil or the desert get the best of him. For over 40 days, Reya Serra has suffered greatly at the hands of Seth Iser. However, she has not quit. She has not collapsed onto her knees and declared her surrender. And tonight at Exposure, just as Jesus Christ managed to do two millennia ago, Reya Serra could very well overcome evil incarnate and maintain the faith and strength that has brought her this far in her career.Ruby Parvati: Next you'll be saying she'll walk through the valley and the shadow of death, fearing no evil ... when in actuality, she has treaded into that valley ... and now she is up against the being that inhabits that domain, a being that has tormented her, and will continue to do so, until she is no more. And unlike Jesus, Axel ... Reya will not be resurrected.Axel Reid: Maybe not, but I'm sure her message and her values will live on in memory.Ruby Parvati: But so will Seth Iser's. No matter what you believe, his words and actions will be remembered for a variety of reasons.Reya slides into the ring as Paxar remains at ringside, trying to ignore Moretti's taunts and miming actions of Reya's upcoming demise. As she stands in the ring, Reya bows her head in prayer, being smothered by loud cheers from a crowd that want to see her give Seth Iser a taste of his own medicine.Axel Reid: What will be the outcome of this personal affair? Will Reya Serra be crushed into irreparable ruin ... or will judgement fall upon Seth Iser for all he has done?Ruby Parvati: I'll say this, Axel. In order for Reya to survive, she will NEED some kind of divine intervention from her beloved Lord. But I don't see that happening. This is it for her. This will be her personal apocalypse.Once Reya concludes her prayer and lifts her downward gaze, now acknowledging and focusing on Seth Iser, the bell rings to signal the start of this anticipated and highly-intense contest. The crowd immediately show their support for Reya and condemn Iser to the pits of Hell at the same time, creating a cacophony of mixed emotions that each competitor absorbs.Axel Reid: The atmosphere in this arena right now is like nothing I have ever experienced before. These people are fully behind Reya, going against a man that I'm sure some of these people want to personally crucify on the hills of Golgotha.Ruby Parvati: They should plan an expedition then. But by the time they get there, Seth Iser would have already taught each and every one of them the meaning of respecting those that have earned respect.Axel Reid: Do you really think he's EARNED respect, after all he's done?Ruby Parvati: Well he's earned my respect ... and my increased admiration...Outside the ring, Paxar claps for Reya encouragingly, whilst Moretti verbally deals with some fans that clearly have an issue with him; particularly his hat of choice. He unleashes a tirade that the microphones on the cameras luckily do NOT detect, but once he finishes, the focus immediately shifts to the ring, where Iser and Reya slowly begin to circle each other from a distance. They both look determined, but it is Reya who makes the first move, rushing towards Iser and clubbing him with quick forearm snaps to his jaw line!Axel Reid: And there goes Reya, taking the fight to Iser from the get-go!Iser shoves Reya away with his leaner, noticeably-toned arms, creating some space for a clothesline hook ... which Reya ducks under! Following the dodge, Reya returns to clubbing Iser in the face with the side of her elbow, possibly in an attempt to damage his jaw bone and have his mouth wired shut! In order to defend himself, Iser bends his leg back, readying a solid knee strike to Reya's stomach, but Reya telegraphs the move and jumps backwards, frustrating Iser momentarily before she nails a spin kick into his mid-section! With Iser leaning forward, Reya guns it to the ropes, building momentum for a running attack. Unfortunately, Iser smartly bails from the ring to avoid the charge, forcing Reya to stop abruptly as the crowd boo the Deity's cowardice.Axel Reid: Well this is certainly different! Seth Iser has abandoned the ring to heal up from Reya's attacks, having not gotten a single shot in on the Herald thus far.Ruby Parvati: He's biding his time, Axel. In fact, I know exactly what he's doing. He's giving these people a glimmer of hope. He's making them believe that there is a silver lining, that good will conquer evil in the end. But in reality, when Reya feels like she's in control, he will crush her into particles of irrelevant dust and cast her into the wind.Axel Reid: I don't think that's the case at all, Ruby! Reya Serra is very knowledgeable when it comes to wrestling. She excels at high-flying and technical grappling, but she knows most if not all of the styles in this business. She knows that Iser relies on his fists to do the most damage, and as long as she can dodge his arms and react quick enough, she has a strong chance to take down the Deity of Destruction and keep him there.Ruby Parvati: You're forgetting something, Axel. Seth Iser knows how to escape ground holds and suplexes. She might be avoiding his strikes now, but that will soon change.After much stalling, Iser willingly enters the ring for a second time, only to have Reya rush directly at him and kick him repeatedly in the chest! The crowd continue to cheer as Reya takes advantage, nailing a Roundhouse Kick to the side of his head that only manages to stagger the more-defined veteran. Feeling confident, Reya runs to the ropes again, only to jump on the middle rope and spring back at Iser for an Axe Handle. But when she is in mid-air, Iser quickly composes himself and grabs Reya in his broad clutches, keeping her in an elevated bear hug before he savagely slams Reya onto her upper spine and shoulders with a standing Uranage! The audience immediately turn sour and boo loudly as Iser stands over Reya, a woman that is now tending to her neck with serious concern on her face.Ruby Parvati: And there it is! That's all it took to put Reya in her place, Axel!Axel Reid: We can't forget about Reya's neck issues, which I'm sure Iser will find great joy in exploiting and worsening for his benefit. She recently suffered a Deprivation DDT at Breakthrough 4 at the hands of Iser, but PKA unknowingly added to her troubles with a Powerbomb that jarred her vertebrae. Somehow, Reya kicked out of it, but she was dispatched a few seconds later by the enigmatic risk-taker.Spreading a noxious smile that can make blood run cold, the Deity pulls Reya to her feet, sets up an Irish Whip and slings her into his outstretched arm! The Short Arm Clothesline floors Reya instantly, but the whiplash effect from the position of Iser's arm is even worse. Iser goes for the cover after this deadly attack, but before the referee can count, he strangely changes his mind, rising up onto his knees and looking at the referee.Axel Reid: I wonder what sick, deprived idea Iser has just thought of now? It's probably more sick than the grin that Vincent Moretti has on his face at ringside. And by the way, what is with that cheese hat?Ruby Parvati: He's a man of unusual tastes and pleasures, Axel. He should try me some time...Naturally, Moretti is soaking up the negativity in the building as Iser slowly brings Reya back to a vertical base, but he is doing this whilst looking at his phone, half-paying attention to the contest as he feels safe in the knowledge that Iser will triumph over the Herald. On the other side of the ring, Paxar looks worried as Iser places Reya in a front face-lock, only to methodically twist Reya and himself around for a Neckbreaker! Reya jolts from the shock and impact of the move, instantly grabbing her neck as Iser sits on his buttocks and mock-applauds the booing audience. "Was that awesome, huh?" he yells to the angry fans, almost inciting a mob riot as they boo thunderously."YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!" they chant to Iser's stoic response, now desensitized to this old-fashioned chant and ignoring it completely as he stands up and presses his boot on Reya's neck.Axel Reid: How hideously appropriate this event could be for Seth Iser ... using this Exposure PPV as a platform to expose Reya as a fraud in front of these fans and those who are watching at home.Ruby Parvati: And she will be deemed a fraud, Axel, because she is not strong enough to stop Seth Iser from exposing the truth. Now look at Iser manhandling Reya with those eye-catching arms, just pulling her up as if she's nothing. There's an Irish Whip ... and Reya just slammed into the turnbuckles and fell to the canvas like she was driven into a brick wall! That is power, Axel. That is the power Iser possesses, both psychically and mentally.Axel Reid: But there is no truth behind Iser's claims! Reya is genuine! She is as true as true is! She gives light to those in need of guidance, those in need of love and care, and Seth Iser wants to end all of that because he is a sadistic human being that does not care at all about humanity!Ruby Parvati: These people don't care about Seth Iser, Axel. He is doing unto them as they have done unto him ... for several years! THEY cast him aside, THEY treated him as an afterthought, and when Seth became upset with their ignorance, they turned on him like cockroaches! Now he is going to step on every single one of them, spilling their guts and making them pay for not giving him the respect he rightfully deserves! And the way he is going to make them pay is through Reya Serra, a woman these people gravitate to because they are scared of the inevitable. They are scared to accept the truth that pain and misery exists, and are not willing to go through life without someone there to hold their hand ... especially someone that represents an angelic symbol to give them false hope. THAT is the fraud, Axel, and whether you like it or not, that is the TRUTH.Instead of whipping Reya to the opposite corner again, Iser pulls the Herald into another front face-lock, pops his hips and delivers a near-perfect Snap Suplex on the Faithbringer. Iser then rolls over into a lackadaisical cover, making sure to press his forearm onto Reya's cheek to assert more strength into his cover.1 . . .2 . .Reya shoots her far shoulder up, wincing from the pain of the simple kick-out. Not affected by this at all, Iser sits Reya up and snaps on a chin lock, holding it in deep with his weight pressing down onto Reya's neck to weaken the sensitive part of her body.Axel Reid: The more Seth Iser works on Reya Serra's neck, the greater her battle becomes to not only survive, but to muster the courage to gain an advantage over him. But this chin lock is a great example of why Seth Iser is an evil genius. Not only is he damaging Reya's neck further, but he is forcing Reya to exert so much energy just to BREATHE.Ruby Parvati: This is why he's undefeated in VOW, Axel. Seth Iser knows how to strategically limit his opponent's offense, making sure that the moves they rely upon to end contests become ineffective.Not willing to give up hope, the crowd in St Paul encourage Reya to fight on, even as Iser momentarily twists Reya's neck to tighten his hold. Feeding off the support, Reya raises her arms to the heavens, as if wanting to absorb God's power in order to escape this hold. Somehow, Reya does garner a surge of energy, but it is mostly used so that she can fight to a standing position. Iser continues to lean on Reya as she sags, weakening at the knees. Suddenly, Reya pops an elbow into Iser's stomach, causing him to flinch and loosen his hold slightly!Axel Reid: Reya is not going to give up just yet! She's hit one elbow on Seth already ... and there is another one! And a third! And there's a fourth!After the fifth successive elbow strike, Iser finally relinquishes the hold, succumbing to the discomfort in his stomach and feeling the tender region. Despite the pain in her neck, Reya sacrifices her health with a Jawbreaker on the Deity, stunning him substantially as he rocks on unsteady legs! The crowd can feel the change coming as they react with a positive vibe, watching Reya kick Iser in the stomach and lock him in for a Russian Leg Sweep! However, Iser blocks the move and pulls Reya into another facelock, only for his face to significantly change!Axel Reid: Oh no, not the Dep...Before Axel can even finish his train of thought, Reya surprises Iser by spinning out of the facelock, separating his arm from his body, and landing a Roundhouse Kick to his bicep! Iser grunts from the blow and tends to his affected arm, which Reya instinctively capitalizes on as she goes low and takes Iser down with a dropkick to the crook of his knee!Axel Reid: I was expecting a Deprivation DDT from Iser, but Reya managed to avoid it and kick Iser's best arm! The thing is, that may just be Reya's saving grace. If she can damage Iser's best arm, then a ton of his arsenal will fall by the wayside!Ruby Parvati: I guess Reya is not as dumb as I thought she was...Axel Reid: How can you think Reya Serra is dumb? How can ANYONE think that?!Routinely stomping on Iser's arm proves effective for the Herald, and she continues to do so as Iser tries to roll away and regroup. Grimacing from the constant pain in her neck, Reya shows a more aggressive side as she pursues Iser, eventually stopping him from rolling outside the ring with a Leg Grapevine! However, Iser grabs the ropes hastily, forcing the referee to issue a break that Reya has to obey. She does so, and that is when Iser rolls outside to loud boos, still tending to his arm as he scowls menacingly.Axel Reid: Seth Iser now outside the ring again. He seems to be talking to himself, as if psyching himself for a recharge. That's what I can only ass ... AHHHH!!Just like Axel, the crowd scream in surprise as Reya comes FLYING OVER THE ROPES ONTO SETH ISER WITH A CROSSBODY BLOCK! Whilst Iser was outside the ring, Reya willingly climbed the turnbuckle and dove off onto the Deity, flooring him instantly after being taken unawares by the airborne Herald! Paxar even looks shocked she did that, risking her health once again in order to keep Iser subdued! As for Moretti, his wide eyes tell the entire story, looking as though he is frozen in time with his mouth clamped shut.Ruby Parvati: Okay, she's not dumb. She's just CRAZY!Axel Reid: Whenever you see Reya Serra take a risk like that, you know she is doing it for a distinct purpose! Tonight, that purpose is to defeat Seth Iser and cement herself as the Herald of Holiness, to eradicate the claims of being fraudulent and a sham and to give these people a sight they have been dreaming for since the beginning of VOW!Reya is the first to get up, despite the twinges in her neck that are limiting her progress. She tends to her neck before she focuses on Iser, helping the Deity to his feet and putting him in a facelock. But before Reya can do anything, Iser suddenly charges forward and drives Reya spine first into the edge of the ring apron!Axel Reid: Ouch! That ring apron is hard and unforgiving, ladies and gentleman! If you land on it, you will get hurt. Even being pushed into it can mess up your anatomy in a variety of ways!Now feeling her back instead of her neck, Reya is now suspectible to Seth Iser's power. He uppercuts Reya a couple of times before he grabs her across his body and falls backwards, throwing Reya over himself with a Fallaway Slam onto the floor!Axel Reid: Fallaway Slam on to the floor from Seth Iser! If Reya's spine wasn't hurting enough, it certainly is now!Ruby Parvati: With her neck and back in that condition, it's only a matter of time before Iser puts the final nails into her crucifix and props her up for all to see.Axel Reid: That is a disturbing image, Ruby.Ruby Parvati: I've seen a lot of disturbing things in my lifetime, Axel ... some of which you won't believe...Renergized from the physical throw, Iser snarls as he rolls Reya back into the ring. A quick slide under the bottom rope follows, as does a heavy cover!1 . . .2 . .No, Reya got her shoulder up! Not wasting time, Iser pulls Reya back to a vertical base and whips her into the turnbuckle. Reya starts to slump away from the pads, but she is pressed deep into the turnbuckles after a running clothesline from the Deity! Afterwards, Iser grabs Reya's head and glares around the arena, foreshadowing a running Bullog that he connects with! Another cover follows, this time with Iser using more leverage!1 . . .2 . . .No, Reya kicks out again, showing her toughness!Axel Reid: Reya Serra persists, but how much energy is she losing just by staying in this match?Ruby Parvati: She's losing energy that could be spent forfeiting and living to fight another day as a fraud.Axel Reid: Are you serious with that statement?Going back to the basics, Iser slaps on a grounded Sleeper Hold on the Herald, using his muscular frame to lean on Reya's shoulder and press the oxygen out of her weakened body.Axel Reid: And now Seth Iser goes right back to work on that neck. But instead of a chin lock, he has a sleeper hold set in. If Reya does not get out of this soon, this could spell the end of the contest.Ruby Parvati: And there these idiots go once again, cheering for their fraudulent hero!Just as Parvati mentioned, the crowd begins stomping their feet in perfect unison. Hoping they can somehow convince Reya to fight her way out of the sleeper that Iser currently has sinched in. She begins to shake her fist repeatedly, an indiciation that she does plan to do just that as she gradually wills her way to one knee from a seated position. Seth continues to apply pressure but Serra, despite severe pain in her neck, manages to deliver an elbow into his abdomen as he gasps. Several more follow as just like earlier on, she causes enough damage to force his grasp to loosen. Just enough so she can get to a vertical base now, though still hunched over slightly. She gets her feet moving and while maintaining a firm grip around her opponent's waist, charges back towards the ropes, then slingshotting Iser off in the opposite direction. Axel Reid: She broke the hold!Iser darts back at her, allowing himself to gather momentum as Reya attempts a clothesline, which Iser ducks underneath and hits the opposite end ropes. Reya is quick to turn around and just in time to duck a lariat attempt from the Deity of Destruction, but this time... Iser elects to stop. He turns around, only to be met with a thunderous kick to the gut which forces him to bend forward. Reya applies a front facelock!Ruby Parvati: She's about to... NO! ISER POWERS OUT!Seth grabs her by the same wrist that is wrapped around his throat, spinning out of her DDT attempt and then executes a brutal shot to her mid section now as she bends over now. He places her head firmly under his own arm as the fans boo loudly.Axel Reid: Here comes the Depriva... NO! Reya countered into a single leg takedown!Much to Iser's surprise, Serra had managed to throw him off balance just enough to not only break free from his grip, but also put him clear on his back with a takedown of sorts. She wastes no time, grabbing one of his two legs, and then allowing herself to spin around it. She then grabbed the other leg and sat back down on the canvas, hooking a now squirming Iser in the Figure Four Leg Lock!Ruby Parvati: No! Not the Figure Four!Axel Reid: With the type of damage Iser's knees have taken over the years, this is probably the worst possible hold he could find himself in! And Reya is really putting pressure on those knee joints!Seth continues to inch his way toward the ropes and eventually grabs hold of them, causing the official to break up the leg lock! But the sensation of pain shooting through both of his legs is now evident as he grimaces while grabbing hold of the ropes to steady himself. Reya is also up on her feet as she darts toward her vulnerable opponent, But Iser is up! He throws every ounce of strength he has into another clothesline attempt, but that too is ducked by the Herald! As he whirls around in a fit of anger, he again charges her, but this time Reya drops to the mat and takes Iser with her with a picture perfect drop toe hold! Wasting no time, she gets up into a crouched position and leaps onto Iser's back before he can recover, locking him in her signature Dragon Clutch, right in the middle of the ring!Axel Reid: There it is, folks! The Final Judgement, right in the middle of the ring! Iser managed to escape the Figure Four, but this hold is World's apart from that one! Seth struggles desperately to break free, hands flailing about wildly as Reya continues to pull back on his neck, contorting his body in the most discomforting way imaginable. Without warning, however, Iser manages to power up to his knees and hands as he begins to slither his way to the ropes in front of him, but the crowd is brought clear out of their seats when Serra pulls back with such force that Iser collapses back down to the mat, still in a great deal of pain.Ruby Parvati: He'd better get to those ropes! Come on Seth! Don't fall short on your word now! Axel Reid: I don't think he can hear you, Ruby. He's too busy fighting that brutal submission hold! But he has moved somewhat closer to the ropes!Once gain, Iser exhibits impressive resiliency as he gets back to all fours, working his way toward the ropes in dramatic fashion. Meanwhile, Moretti is slapping the apron to egg Iser on while Paxar is also cheering Reya on. Suddenly, Iser lunges his right arm forward and it MAKES CONTACT WITH THE ROPE! He grabs hold as the referee now is forced to pull a somewhat surprised Reya Serra off her adversary!Axel Reid: I don't know how he managed, but Seth Iser not only fought off the pain of Final Judgement.. but he forced the ref to break the hold!Ruby Parvati: That's what I'm talking about! That man is the future of VOW, simply put!Axel Reid: Not if the Herald has anything to say about it!Iser attempts to shake off the pain as he trees to get to his feet, while Reya shows off her aggressive side once more, running directly at Seth.. Out of nowhere, he launches her upward as her neck crashes down onto the top rope hard!! This act causes her to bounce away from the ring ropes, yet landing on her feet as she stumbles around uncontrollably. Iser Quickly grabs her around the waist from behind and drills her hard into the canvas with a German Suplex! Reya lands right on her neck and head as the ref slaps the mat as a smattering of boos fire up in the background!1 . . .2 . . .3 . . ?REYA BARELY GETS A SHOULDER UP!Axel Reid: What a series of moves by Iser! First he stunned his opponent with that move which utilized the top rope and then he planted her with a high impact German Suplex! And that was almost good enough to get the win, Ruby!Ruby Parvati: Everything that man does is either 'almost' good enough, or it is just enough!Clearly disgruntled by the kick-out, Iser spends time thinking on his knees. Eventually, he pauses before releasing a slow breath, standing up from his knelt position and winding up his arm for a common threat! He beckons Reya to stand, and the Herald, by no command of Iser's, begins to do so instinctively, not knowing what ultimately awaits her as she finds her feet.Axel Reid: Reya may have kicked out of that German Suplex, but I fear a worst fate is to follow!Ruby Parvati: Here comes the Injection of Poison!Iser readies the imminent submission, gesturing with his hand Reya's impending doom. Once Reya turns towards Iser, he lunges his arm forward ... only to have Reya block the grip and kick it away with a wild swing of her leg! Iser feels his arm and shakes it quickly, not wanting to lose focus of his desired objective. But as he returns his vision to Reya, the Herald jumps up and lands a SUPER KICK on his jaw, driving Iser backwards and through the middle rope to the outside!Axel Reid: WHOA! Reya blocked the Injection of Poison, and now Iser finds himself grounded on the outside!Ruby Parvati: I don't know how Reya had the will-power to jump up with her neck and back in that state!Paxar and Moretti keep their distance from the action, but Moretti does look perturbed. As the crowd cheer, they anticipate Reya's next move, murmuring with excitement as Reya readies herself for another dive. She runs as fast as she can to the ropes, rebounding off them to sprint across the ring, whereby she leaps THROUGH THE TOP AND MIDDLE ROPES WITH A SUICIDE DIVE ... ONLY TO HAVE ISER PUNCH REYA IN MID-AIR, KNOCKING HER TO THE FLOOR!Ruby Parvati: WOW! What a counter from Seth Iser! He saw that coming a mile away!Axel Reid: Perhaps Reya projected that incoming missile TOO well. That was her undoing, and now SHE is on the ground, just like Iser was a few moments ago.After boring a hole through a concerned Paxar, Iser looks down at Reya and proceeds to drag her up to her feet. Reya is left vulnerable for a Powerbomb from Iser, which he aims towards the hard ring apron that damaged Reya's back a while ago!Axel Reid: Wait, NO! Don't do this, Seth!But before Iser can complete the lethal Powerbomb onto the apron, Reya finds the strength to hammer him in the face with a forearm! Now fighting for her very life, not just her career, Reya clubs Iser several more times, causing the Deity to falter and weaken his grip on Reya! As the crowd cheer on Reya's survival, the Herald swivels her hips and twists towards the ground, propelling Iser towards the apron with a Swinging Headscissors! The momentum causes Iser to lose his balance, and as he falls towards the unforgiving apron, his FACE BASHES THE EDGE OF THE APRON, resulting in ecstatic cheers and horrified gasps from the audience!Axel Reid: OH MY GOD! Iser's face just cracked against that ring apron!Ruby Parvati: What have you done, Reya?! What kind of moral person are you?!Iser immediately covers his face as he slumps onto the floor, obviously in severe pain from the unexpected collision. Moretti screams at the referee to disqualify Reya for the move, but the referee says that is not a punishable offense, and thus the match must continue. Even Paxar is not sure what to think as Reya pushes herself up from the floor, but neither she nor her best friend are going to sympathize with or help a man that has tormented their lives for weeks on end.Axel Reid: That was ... a disgusting fall. Seth Iser could have a broken nose. He could have a busted jaw!Ruby Parvati: He could have a concussion, Axel! You mentioned before how hard those ring aprons are!Once Reya fully stands up, Seth Iser, being jeered all the while from the crowd, pushes himself up to his knees. As Reya, Paxar, Moretti and the rest of the viewing audience see collectively, the side of Iser's face is already discoloured from intense bruising. So intense, in fact, that his eye is firmly closed, swelling at an alarming rate with the rest of his damaged cheek.Axel Reid: Oh God. That looks ... that looks like a broken orbital bone! I can't be sure, but the swelling and dark bruising is a strong indication that he has suffered that kind of injury!Ruby Parvati: Stop the match. A wrestler is hurt, for goodness sake!Axel Reid: I'm not sure how to feel right now. I mean ... all the things Seth Iser has done, and now karma has struck him down at Exposure! I know that sounds bad, but it seems like poetic justice to me!Knowing she has to capitalize on Iser's battered state, Reya kicks Iser in the side, not wanting to focus on his face or eye due to her compassionate nature. Stinging from the pain, Iser rolls inside the ring, and Reya follows him. Some of the fans in the arena start a "YOU GOT F'D!" chant, making sure to decently erase the popular swear word from their chant so that they can keep VOW in safe territory. As soon as he gets up again, Iser wildly swings towards Reya, but the Herald dodges the attack with clearer vision than her opponent, all before kneeing him in the lower spine and then draping him back for a REVERSE DDT!!Axel Reid: Reverse DDT from Reya Serra! This may be her chance to finish Seth Iser off!Ruby Parvati: What do you mean her "chance"? She has plenty of chances now since Seth Iser is half-blind and fighting with a shattered orbital bone! If she had any common decency, if she WAS true to her passionate nature, she would stop this match and win by default! But no, she is NOT acting like a decent woman! She is acting just like everyone else, the same people that Seth Iser rightfully calls out for hypocrisy and double standards!Not covering Iser straight away, Reya instead runs to ropes and springs off them with a LIONSAULT onto Iser! Only then does she hook his leg for a cover, making the referee scramble into position to make the count!1 . . .2 . . .NO, Seth Iser manages to kick out despite the immense agony he is clearly in!Ruby Parvati: But look at Seth, kicking out of the Lionsault! He is a TRUE man with TRUE heart, Axel!Axel Reid: Oh that's absurd! Reya did NOTHING to provoke the reaction from Seth Iser that she has suffered through for over a month! He abused her, ridiculed her and threatened to end her career, and all because Reya counters a Powerbomb that COULD HAVE VERY WELL put Reya out of commission for good, Seth Iser is all of a sudden the VICTIM?!Ruby Parvati: He IS the victim, Axel! He always has been! You're just too stupid to know it!With the crowd clapping furiously, inspiring Reya to continue and maintain her advantage, Reya feels her neck with resurfacing discomfort. That is before she notices the nearest corner, and after looking at a recovering Seth Iser briefly, Reya decides to climb to the top once more, possibly for the last time in this dramatic contest!Axel Reid: Reya Serra is climbing the top rope! Could this be the final attack that puts Seth Iser down for good?!Ruby Parvati: Look at Vincent Moretti on the outside! He is absolutely livid!Reya waits for the battered Iser to stand up, which he does without resorting to using the ropes or the referee as a support. After being perched on the top rope for a few seconds, Reya purposefully leaps off with a SHOOTING STAR PRESS ... only to hook Iser's head after the rotation and plant him onto the canvas with a DDT!! The crowd explode with cheers, and even Paxar leaps with joy as Reya slumps over Iser for the cover!!Axel Reid: SHOOTING STAR DDT! REYA HAS THE COVER!The referee slides into action near the ropes and begins to count Iser's shoulders down!1 . . .2 . . .Suddenly, Moretti PULLS the referee out of the ring under the bottom rope, saving Seth Iser from losing the match!!Axel Reid: WAIT! Moretti just pulled the referee outside of the ring, and I don't think Seth Iser kicked out! That should have been THREE!The referee, completely justified with his behaviour, shouts at Moretti for interrupting his count. Moretti tries to make up a valid excuse, saying that Iser has a facial injury and should be taken to the hospital, but the referee is having none of it. He theatrically shakes his head, and as the crowd boo viciously, he wildly points his arm towards the backstage area, yelling at Moretti that he is being BARRED FROM RINGSIDE!!Axel Reid: And Moretti has been ordered to go backstage! HE IS OUT OF HERE!Ruby Parvati: WHY?! HE WAS HELPING HIS CLIENT IN A TIME OF PERIL!Appalled by the decision, Moretti rips off his cheese hat and throws it at as it just misses the referee and instead falls through the ropes, inside the ring. The referee doesn't rule this as a Disqualification victory for Reya though, but he does persist in telling Moretti to leave. The crowd become wrapped up in the ongoing fiasco and cheer his impending departure, which riles Moretti up more!Ruby Parvati: The referee should not tell a manager to leave when he is being a sympathetic, caring friend, something that Reya Serra, Paxar Vega and THIS referee are NOT being!Axel Reid: And what job is that? To blatantly cheat and cost another competitor a fair victory?! He stopped Reya from winning this match decisively, and he is being punished for it! I truly believe that karma is taking its toll on Moretti and Iser tonight, and rightfully so!Ruby Parvati: You are sick, Axel! You may be handsome and sexy, but you are SO wrong!Axel Reid: I hate to say it, but Seth Iser deserved this! Vincent Moretti deserved this! They both deserve everything they are getting right now, and no one in this building can dispute that. Well, except you!A team of security guards arrive to escort Moretti from the premises, forcing him to leave his cheese hat behind. Paxar seems to be enjoying the festivities, knowing he will not be a problem for Reya now. However, as Moretti gets near the entrance ramp, he spots Paxar and flips her off, calling her a bunch of names that seemingly get under Paxar's skin. Having enough of Moretti's foul mouth, Paxar storms towards him, but stops abruptly.Axel Reid: And now Paxar has gone over to Moretti after he took his frustrations out on her. What's going to happen here?Moretti once again screams at Paxar, who stares a hole through him. Suddenly, she rears back and LEVELS MORETTI WITH A SLAP, knocking the taste out of his mouth and making him stumble towards the guardrail!! The crowd cheer as Moretti feels his face in shock, but the punishment does not end there! Paxar then rushes at Moretti, and the much smaller, diminutive woman PUSHES HIM OVER THE GUARDRAIL INTO THE CROWD WITH A CLOTHESLINE, dumping him on his head and leaving him upside down in a helpless heap!Axel Reid: Paxar just slapped and clotheslined Moretti into the crowd, and now he has been left at the feet of the people he has insulted not only tonight, but for months!Ruby Parvati: That assault was uncalled for! She should be evicted too!Axel Reid: She was provoked, Ruby! Paxar had enough of Moretti and made him eat his words ... and maybe a few of his teeth!With the fans clambering over each other to get their hands on Moretti, the security guards fight to restore order at ringside, along with the referee in charge of officiating the contest. Meanwhile, inside the ring, Reya finally gets to her feet and staggers to the openness of the ring's central point. She is clearly hurting, but not as much as Seth Iser, whose bruised, swollen face can generate nightmares. Operating on nothing but persistence, Iser struggles to his feet and moves towards Reya, who connects with a Spinning Kick to his abdomen! The Deity of Destruction stumbles back from the blow, recoiling defensively until Reya flies at him with a SHINING WIZARD!!Axel Reid: There's a Shining Wizard from Reya! It looks like Seth Iser has nothing left!Seeing that the referee is busy dealing with the guards as they forcibly escort Moretti and Paxar to the backstage area, Reya takes the time to recuperate, breathing heavily as she feels her neck. Once the ringside conflict has been settled, the crowd look towards the ring, cheering on Reya as she gets back up to her feet and says something unto herself. Meanwhile, the Deity of Destruction gradually recovers from the Shining Wizard, painfully forcing himself to his knees and gazing at the Herald with only one useful eye. Now she is the one in control. Now she is the one looking upon the damaged and scarred, now having Seth Iser's fate in the palms of her hands. And as the two competitors stare at one another, Reya knows it to be true.Axel Reid: Look at this scene. Holiness is standing over evilness, and how ironic is it that after all of the talk, after all of the promises, it is Seth Iser that kneels in pain at the face of judgement.Ruby Parvati: Reya should show mercy on Seth Iser. She should be the Good Samaritan and tend to his wounds!Axel Reid: Reya is able to forgive and help those in need ... but I do not believe she can forgive Seth Iser for what he has hideously done.Defying the cruelty of karma, Seth Iser agonizingly scowls and spits towards Reya's feet. After looking at the saliva trail on the canvas, the Herald closes her eyes, as if formulating an inner prayer. But once her eyes open again, Reya jumps towards Iser and snaps his head back with a SUPER KICK, sending him to the canvas in a slow fall that mirrors a timber tree falling in the woods!!Axel Reid: AND THERE IS THE EXCLAMATION POINT! HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED!Reya falls to her knees and hooks Iser's leg, looking around for the referee. Fortunately for Reya, the referee slides into the ring as soon as she makes the cover, hurriedly getting into position to once again count Iser out!1 . . .2 . . .3???NO! NO! SETH ISER KICKS OUT AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!!Axel Reid: BUT SOMEHOW THE DEVIL WILLS ISER TO LIVE ON! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!Ruby Parvati: Now do you believe, Axel?! Reya Serra cannot beat Seth Iser! Her light is not strong enough!Axel Reid: That won't stop her from trying! And against someone like Seth Iser, you have to!After what has seemed like a grueling match that has clearly taken it's toll on both combatants, both physically and psychologically... Reya aims to put an end to it as she gets off of Iser and then pushes herself to a vertical base. The pain in her neck and back all too noticeable by now. She slowly makes her way toward Iser who is just about as worse for wear as Serra is. He grabs him by the hair of his head, pulling the Deity of Destruction up... when out of left field, he delivers a knee to her abdomen and hooks her up in a face lock! Driving her hard into the mat with a sickening thud. Much to the disapproval of the booing fans!Ruby Parvati: Deprivation DDT! He hit it! There's the cover!Axel Reid: That came out of nowhere, Ruby! Will this be it?!1 . . .2 . . .3 . . ?. . .NO! REYA SERRA KICKED OUT?!Ruby Parvati: No freaking way! She just kicked out of Iser's bread and butter move! How?! It's not possible!Axel Reid: The light still burns brightly within the Herald, Ruby! And maybe now Iser is starting to think, just as you thought Reya was... that he can't snuff out the light! No matter what he pulls from his arsenal!Iser immediately moves off of Reya with a look of pure disbelief on his face as the crowd is cheering so loud that the roof might just blow off the Xcel Energy Center! He then rolls over and ends up on top of the cheese hat that had been left behind earlier by the now exiled Vincent Moretti. The official stares at Reya, then at Iser as both combatants are down. Completely exhausted from their battle.Axel Reid: The ref has no other choice but to administer the standing ten count! Ruby Parvati: No!! It can't end in a draw, Axel! Iser has to win this match!Axel Reid: You're entitled to your opinion, but I'd argue that this is a must win situation for Reya Serra as well!1...2...3...4...Both Iser and Serra begin to stir. Seth more so than his foe.5...6...Seth reaches into the interior of the cheese hat and pulls out something shiny. Rectangular in shape, but he quickly conceals it before the referee can take notice. Axel Reid: What did he pull from that head wear?!Ruby Parvati: What, are you delusional or something?7...8...Reya and Iser are trying to get to their feet!9...... SETH IS UP! SO IS REYA!Axel Reid: I think this is about to come down to one final push from both competitors!Reya and Iser's breathing patterns are equally labored as both hesitate for a second. Suddenly, they lunge forward as Reya goes for a left hand, but it's blocked by the Deity of Destruction. Out of nowhere, he retaliates with a right hand of his own! One with such force that it causes his opponent to hit the canvas in a heap as Iser falls on top of her now lifeless body! However, the strange thing is that it didn't sound like a normal impact. Instead, more like metal had contacted with Reya's skull!!Axel Reid: I knew I saw him reach into that hat for something! And the ref didn't catch it! No! It can't end this way!1 . . .2 . . .Axel Reid: Kick out, Reya! Come on!3 . . ?DING! DING! DING!Axel Reid: What a cheap way to beat someone who took Iser well past his limits! Reya managed to kick out of his signature DDT, but she just couldn't stand up to the use of whatever the heck that was in Iser's hand! I'm disgusted beyond words right now, Ruby!Ruby Parvati: There you go again, seeing things. You need glasses, Axel!Axel Reid: I already wear glasses!Ruby Parvati: Then clean the lenses? Seth Iser just won a tremendously grueling match and you have the gull to question the legitimacy of his victory? But most of all, he finally proved Reya to be the fraud he always knew she was! Finally, the truth is out!Axel Reid: This was flat out robbery, Ruby! Nothing more, nothing less!Jerry Heisenberg: Ladies and gentleman... The winner of this match via pinfall... THE DEITY OF DESTRUCTION!! SETH ISER!!! "Gehennas" by Slipknot hits the speakers but the sounds of the music is nearly overwhelmed by the chorus of boos Iser is receiving as he stumbles to his feet. He stares down at the fallen Reya Serra for a moment before turning his back and exiting the ring. All the while, holding the same region in which was seriously injured earlier in the match. That being the swollen shut eye due to his orbital socket most likely being broken. He eventually turns back to take one final glance at Serra, who is just now coming to but also holding the side of her face in extreme discomfort from the use of that foreign object by Iser. Seth shows the faint sign of a smirk before turning his back and disappearing behind the curtain. Reya slowly gets to her feet now as the crowd on hand gives her a standing ovation.Ruby Parvati: She was 'exposed' and yet these morons still cheer for her?! What the heck is this madness?!Axel Reid: Maybe they're giving her credit for not only taking the fight to the man who tried to ruin her life, but also for nearly beating him? If I'm being totally honest, she may have very well done it had Iser not resorted to hitting her in the face with that mysterious object!Ruby Parvati: What's so mysterious about the man's fist? Axel Reid: Don't play coy with me, Ruby. You know exactly what I'm referring to! Anyway folks, coming up next we'll see our first ever Weapon of Choice match between Cera and Tha Joka. One that's been a long time coming! Don't go anywhere!The feed cuts to a commercial break, with the last image we see being Reya standing in the ring. Looking heart broken that she couldn't set out what she ultimately hoped to accomplish, but also being showered with cheers from an electrified crowd. |

Main Event
- Weapon of Choice -
Cera Vs. Tha Joka
We return from our commercial break as Ruby and Axel are seated at their booth, still attempting to digest the all out battle they've just witnessed between Seth Iser and Reya Serra. As the ring is prepared for the Main Event of the evening, both commentators chime in with their thoughts on what lies ahead.Axel Reid: This has by far been the most action packed event in VOW's short, but storied history, Ruby... and rightfully so! Exposure was billed to be big and I believe it has lived up to that thus far, but our last contest of the evening...Ruby Parvati: Is going to be barbaric?Axel Reid: I'm a litle put off, but I'm pretty sure you just read my mind! Cera and Tha Joka... Two equally sadistic sociopaths with one common goal in mind, Ruby... They want to hurt each other as badly as they possibly can! And as we've seen in recent weeks, there will be no mercy on either front! This is going to be messy! Not to mention, earlier in the broadcast Joka convinced Cera to up the ante! If she manages to beat him tonight, he has to relinquish the face paint that has been a trademark of his for years! Meanwhile, and perhaps the gutsiest move of all... If Cera loses to Tha Joka? She has agreed to QUIT professional Wrestling, Ruby!Ruby Parvati: Someone is mighty cocky, aren't they? Either way, I hope that Clown paints the canvas with her blood! That would really get my motor revving!Axel Reid: Why am I not surprised? Anyway.. let's send this to Jerry Heisenberg for the introductions!Heisenberg, almost on cue, enters the ring with a microphone in his hand. He gestures toward the ramp way entrance and begins to introduce each combatant, to the sounds of a rabid crowd.Jerry Heisenberg: Ladies and gentleman... the following contest is the MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING! It is scheduled for one fall and it is a WEAPON OF CHOICE MATCH! Making his way to the ring first... standing 6'5" and weighing 270lbs... From Oklahoma City, Oklahoma!... The Clown Prince of Hardcore!! THA JOKA!!!"Torn Apart" begins playing and Joka's old entrance video package appears on the Monitor as red and green strobes start going off on the stage. The crowd stands up and begins booing wildly as the music begins skipping erratically and distorting. The music begins looping on the chorus as screen tears begin appearing on the video playing. Suddenly blood begins dripping down the huge screen as the words "Torn Apart" loop over and over again on the music. The crowd is abuzz with excitement, knowing what is coming next. Suddenly the house lights go off in the arena and the place is awash in total darkness. The crowd goes silent and suddenly the blood dripping in the video congeals into words...I'm Watching You"In The House, In A Heartbeat" by John Murphy begins playing softly through the speakers of the arena as the crowd begins humming in unison to the song. Red lights come on and illuminate the arena in crimson as the cameras zoom in to see Joka and his manager Monster standing at the top of the stage. Monster towering over Joka with his arms crossed as Joka stands with his head down and his long dreadlocks covering his face, swaying eerily side-to-side to the music. The cameras and the crowd catch a glimpse of the clown peeking up from behind his hair as the lights go out again. The crowd continues humming that macabre instrumental as they sway together in the darkness that Joka has plunged them into. Suddenly the lights come back on with Joka and Monster standing outside of the ring, Joka still swaying side-to-side to his music, his head still down and his face still covered by his long dreads with Monster still standing with his arms crossed. He is currently holding his signature cheese grater, Trusty Rusty...and before heading up the steel stairs, he raises it over his head triumphantly. Afterwards, Joka slowly begins walking up the steel stairs into the ring as the red lights go out and the house lights come back on. Joka crawls over the top turnbuckle like a spider climbing up a wall and whips his head back violently, showing a sadistic smile on his face to the bloodthirsty elation of the crowd. His hair is covered in blood and the red liquid is starting to drip down his face as he jumps off the turnbuckle and spins around in the ring, psychotically staring out into the crowd in all directions. The crowd begins heckling Joka over and over again as Joka licks his thumb and kneels down, shining the metal tip of his steel toed boots with a smile like a golfer shining the tip of his driver.The chanting is thunderous and it drowns out his music, which has reached its crescendo and has come full circle back to the eerily quiet part. Joka slowly walks over to the corner and falls back into it, his knees up and his arms resting slightly on each one. Monster walks over to the turnbuckle Joka is sitting at and leans in, whispering into his ear as Joka smiles sadistically again. His cold eyes staring out from behind his dreadlocks as his music dies down and the crowd goes silent.Ruby Parvati: That guy really gives me the creeps, but I'm also so very turned on right now. It's weird, you know?Axel Reid: Actually, I have no idea what you're even talking about. But I will say one thing... I doubt there has been anyone who enjoys pain anymore in the history of VOW, not from yesterday or tomorrow, than that man standing inside the ring right now. We both saw what kind of punishment Scott Knight had to subject him to in order to secure a victory, Ruby... and now that those weapons are going to be wielded, I'm starting to wonder if maybe Stefan and Sky jumped the gun here when they made this match a Weapon of Choice! Ruby Parvati: That's because they don't get the big picture, Axel. People like Joka, they LIVE for this type of stuff. Violence is their fetish, it's their drug! And they'll get it anywhere they can find it! Although one clearly enjoys inflicting it more than the other. That being Cera! We both are well aware that she isn't a big fan of pain.Axel Reid: But that's not to say she can't take what the Clown Prince of Hardcore intends on dishing out either, Ruby. She is, as much as I hate to admit it, as tough as nails. I doubt either combatant will have an easy time with this!Jerry Heisenberg: And his opponent... standing 5'10" and weighing 150lbs... hailing from Sky Valley, Georgia!!... THE BADDEST BITCH! CERA!!!The sounds of dripping water and footsteps echo throughout the arena, as the crowd is drowned in a sea of crimson light... and we suddenly hear:"And it is from this world of darkness which come the evil, destructive forces of man's nature..."The voice fades out, and suddenly the lights flash brightly once as the opening rifts of "You're Insane" by Escape the Fate scream out from the speakers. The tron flashes on, showcasing video feed of multiple matches and backstage attacks by an unidentified woman. Then, with the first verse of the song, a figure dressed in thick, heeled boots and revealing leather clothing steps out onto the stage. Tonight, her infamous warhammer is in her grasp. A smirk crawls upon this woman's lips as the crowd goes hysterical with boos at the appearance of none other than the Baddest Bitch herself. Narrowing her eyes, Cera glances arrogantly at the fans as she slowly moves forward, swinging the warhammer in a wide circle, with the lights following her every movement. Cera reaches the ring, leaps over the ropes acrobatically, and lands on the mat, swinging her weapon so that the head lands in her other hand. She then saunters forward and offers a wicked gaze to the commentators and crowd, before turning back around to calmly await the start of the match.Ruby Parvati: Take a picture, it'll last longer!Axel Reid: What are you, mad?! She's swinging a war hammer around... do you really want her to come over here and test it out on you?!Ruby Parvati: Psh, I'd like to see her try...Axel Reid: Really? Is that why you're trembling right now?Ruby Parvati: Shush you!Heisenberg gets out of dodge as fast as his legs will permit as both combatants remain in their respective corners. The crowd is restless, wanting to see how both competitors plan to make use of their chosen weapons. Joka, with his Cheese Grater and Cera, with her Warhammer. DING! DING! DING!The bell sounds as Tha Joka takes a couple strides in Cera's direction, staring at her with an evil grin plastered on his painted face. He suddenly hoists Trusty Rusty above his head once more, showing just how elated he is to have finally gotten his favorite weapon back. Cera, unimpressed with this action, rolls her eyes while casually whirling her hammer in a circular motion, yet remaining in her corner. Without warning, Cera lunges forward and in an instant, swings for the fences with her war hammer, but Tha Joka steps back to evade it. However, Cera being a lot quicker than the larger Clown, steps forward and pops a kick into his mid section, causing him to stumble backwards! She then attempts and overhead swing, bringing her hammer in a swift downward motion, but much to her own surprise, Joka manages to shield his flesh with Trusty Rusty as he deflects her hammer! Causing sparks to fly from the impact and a loud thud to echo throughout the arena, much to the delight of the blood thirsty crowd!Axel Reid: This match isn't five minutes old and the sparks are already flying! That was a wise decision of Joka to deflect the oncoming hammer attack by Cera, Ruby! He certainly dodged a bullet there!Ruby Parvati: Just you wait... That is one Clown who will eventually get the best of the opposition... and inflict unimaginable amounts of pain on them! Bank on it!Axel Reid: I'm not sure we're watching the same match, but Joka is clearly on the defensive right now! If Cera's hammer makes even the slightest contact with any part of his body, it's going to do serious damage!Cera goes to the well a second time, but Joka blocks her incoming attack in almost identical fashion. This time however, her hammer remains glued to his cheese greater in a sense, as he grabs hold of the handle before ripping the weapon from Cera's grasp and tossing it to the canvas. He laughs hysterically before swinging his cheese grater wildly at Cera, but SHE DUCKS! Joka whirls around... but at the same instant, Cera has leaped off the mat and is rotating too! Just as Joka turns to face his opponent, he's nailed in the face with a thunderous 540 ROUNDHOUSE KICK! Axel Reid: What a kick by Cera! That really rung Joka's bell, Ruby!Ruby Parvati: Eh, I've seen better. Either way, both combatants are now without the weapons they planned on bludgeoning each other half to death with now! Things are about to get very interesting, Axel...Tha Joka is slow to get up and is now prone on all fours... but Cera gives him no room to breathe. She darts from one end of the ring, clear to the other, and delivers a bone jarring KNEE TO HIS MID SECTION! The force from this move causes The Clown Prince of Hardcore to roll a fair distance across the ring as fans in attendance cringe at the wicked impact.Axel Reid: I believe she calls that move Xtreme Rush! What a violent knee to the abdomen, Ruby!Ruby Parvati: And it doesn't look like she's done yet either!Smoothly transitioning from one move to the next, Cera paces over to a downed Joka and leaps on top of him. She begins to pepper him right in the bridge of the nose repeatedly, with one inch punches! Each one causing the Clown Prince of Hardcore's daze to increase! The Baddest Bitch eventually grows bored of pounding her opponent's face into the canvas and moves off of him as the official instinctively checks to see if Joka is still conscious, which he is. Cera takes a moment or two to plot her next move as she then approaches Tha Joka, who is trying to get back to his feet. She grabs him by the vibrant green dreads on his head and goes for an Irish Whip, but Joka counters with one of his own! However, as Cera zips back toward him, she leaps into the air sideways! Attempting what looks to be a cross body block...BUT JOKA CATCHES HER IN MID AIR!Axel Reid: Oh no...Ruby Parvati: Oh yes!With a crazed smile on his face, Joka readjusts Cera up onto his right shoulder, while maintaining a firm grip so she can't break free, even though she has a wide eyed look on her own face, struggling and squirming to get loose but to no avail. Tha Joka wastes no more time as he runs across the ring and plants Cera back first against the corner! Afterwars, he peels her body off the turnbuckles and then turns away from the corner, planting her into the canvas with a variation of Oklahoma Slam!Ruby Parvati: Clown Slam! Take that, Cera!Axel Reid: Did you see the force of that move?! Good grief, he could have broken her back!Ruby Parvati: I hope so.... man, do I ever.Axel Reid: He could have this match won, so why isn't he covering her?!Tha Joka is now on his knees as he slithers a fair distance away from Cera while staring at her in a psychotic manner. Almost as if he's observing her writhe in pain while thoroughly enjoying the sight. He then opts to roll outside the ring and grab hold of Trusty Rusty. Hoisting it high overhead for all in the arena to see!Ruby Parvati: Does that answer your question?Axel Reid: Something tells me this won't end well...Joka slides into the ring just as Cera is starting to come to. He waits patiently for her to get back to a vertical base... before swinging his Cheese Grater right at her face! It glances across the right side of her jawline and travels down the side of her neck! Trailing over her collar bone and continuing down her chest! Each inch the weapon travels leaves a trail of fresh lacerations with blood now oozing out profusely!!! Cera collapses to the mat from the pain as she rolls around, holding her neck and collar bone region! The crowd gasps at the sight of the barbarism as Joka licks the blood from Trusty Rusty and then laughs hysterically while pointing at his downed foe.Axel Reid: That was just brutal! He literally peeled flesh from her with that cheese grater! And now Cera is busted wide open and in a lot more than one location, Ruby!The Joka, realizing that his merciless attack could mean defeat for his opponent, finally decides to attempt a cover as the ref slaps the mat.1 . . .2 . . .3 . . ?NO! CERA KICKS OUT!Ruby Parvati: A near fall by Joka! Axel Reid: That attack was vicious, but It wasn't enough to keep Cera down!Joka sits up, in an almost Indian Style position while staring at the official with a crazed look in his eyes. His gaze then fixates on Cera, who is once again trying to get to her feet. Joka meets her halfway by delivering a knee to her abdomen before tossing her hard into the corner. He glances down at Trusty Rusty before bringing it closer to his ear... almost like he's having a conversation with this inanimate object. He nods in agreement before looking up at the Baddest Bitch and charging in. He holds the cheese greater over his head as his pace quickens... But unexpectedly, Cera rushes out of the corner and side steps his attack at the last possible second, while also kicking his leg out from behind and sending him head over heels into the corner with a thud! This also causes his legs to become tangled in the ropes!Axel Reid: What a counter by Cera! She used the much larger Joka's momentum against him and now... He's in a pretty compromising position, Ruby!Ruby Parvati: She won't...As Ruby was pointing out, Cera had turned around and was now eyeing her warhammer with a smirk on her face. She strolls over to where it's located on the canvas and picks it up. She turns to Joka who is still trying desperately to free himself from being tangled. While approaching her vulnerable opponent, she whirls the hammer around in that same repetitive circular motion... when suddenly...Axel Reid: Oh yes she will!!! LOOK OUT!!CRASH!!!!Ruby Parvati: Nooo!!Axel Reid: Oh my God!!Crowd: Holy sh[BLEEP!]! Holy sh[BLEEP!]!, Holy sh[BLEEP!]! A crowd wide gasp of horror fills the arena as the impact is sickening. As Joka was fighting to get free from the ropes, Cera nails him in the region just below his knee with the head of her hammer!! He immediately squirms free from the ropes and rolls outside the ring, in excruciating pain! Joka is down on the arena floor as the referee leans over the top rope, beginning the count.1...2...3...During all of this, Cera moves to the corner nearest to where Joka had spilled through the ropes. She rests her elbow atop it, and stands there with her chin supported by the palm of her up turned hand. Watching her opponent with a cocky smirk as he struggles to get to his feet and climb back into the ring.4...5...6...7...Axel Reid: He'd better do something or he's going to lose by count out, Ruby!8...Ruby Parvati: Fight the pain, Clown! Get your fanny back in that ring and give Cera what she deserves!9...10???NO! JOKA MANAGES TO ROLL UNDER THE ROPES!Axel Reid: He did it! He shrugged off severe pain to ensure he wouldn't be counted out! But look! He still can't apply any pressure to that leg of his! I'm no doctor, but he looks to be seriously injured ladies and gentleman! And Cera is enjoying every second of it!Ruby Parvati: She is a sick, sick human being, Axel! Joka tries to stand, but falls to the canvas. He grabs hold of his leg while laughing uncontrollably. Cera looks on from the middle of the ring now as she watched Tha Joka, for a second time now, try to get back on two feet... but his leg gives out as he crashes back to the mat once more!Axel Reid: He can't put any weight on that leg! This doesn't bode well for the Clown Prince of Hardcore at all!Ruby Parvati: That isn't stopping him from trying! Hell, you could sever the man's leg and he'd still try to stand!Frustration now sets in as Joka slaps the canvas with agitation before glaring up at Cera with a crazed smile developing on his face... He lets out an almost demonic cackle before trying one last time to stand....AND HE'S UP!Axel Reid: He did it! Joka is back on his feet, though clearly not wanting to put any weight on the same leg she bashed with that hammer a bit ago, Ruby!There is now a stand off in the middle of the ring as Joka tries his best to steady himself while he and Cera stare at each other. Suddenly, a maniacal grin appears on his face... CERA HITS HIM SQUARE IN THE HEAD WITH A SCORPION KICK!!!Ruby Parvati: Xtreme Speed! And he couldn't move to avoid it!Axel Reid" That has to be it, folks! But... wait, what is she doing now?! Cera is just standing there!The Baddest Bitch remains over Joka, glaring at him with a wicked glint in her eye. Several moments pass by as she continues to observe the carnage she has caused before realization sets in. Cera finally plops down on top of Joka as the ref slaps the mat!1 . . .2 . . .3 . . ?DING! DING! DING!Axel Reid: Cera has done it, Ruby! She has beaten Tha Joka, which means...Ruby Parvati: He has to lose the face paint! No!! I was hoping we'd seen the last of this she devil! Why must my hopes and dreams be crushed?!Axel Reid: Say whatever you will about Cera, but she proved just how merciless she can be here tonight! Had she not resorted to such a violent attack on Joka's leg, this would have most likely been more heavily contested! But if you can't stand on your own, it's difficult to win a match! What happened here tonight is proof of that!Jerry Heisenberg: Ladies and gentleman... the winner of this match via pinfall... THE BADDEST BITCH!! CERA!!!"You're Insane" by Escape the Fate filters out from the speakers as the ref raises Cera's hand in victory, to which she immediately yanks it away and continues to stare at Joka with an arrogant grin on her face. Paramedics hit the ring shortly after as Monster also steps over the top rope and gets in, making eye contact with Cera for a moment with an angered expression on his face... but he digresses and instead kneels down to check on the condition of friend; Tha Joka. Axel Reid: I can't believe what we've witnessed here tonight, folks! That Cera is terrifying and as far as I'm concerned, nobody is safe! If someone with a high thresh hold of pain Like Tha Joka can succumb to the fury of her hammer, so can anyone else! I'm Axel Reid saying so long until the next edition of Breakthrough!! WHAT A NIGHT!!Before our image fades, we see Joka being guided underneath the bottom rope by Monster and the EMT's on hand. He has come to now, but still can't put any weight on his damaged leg as he limps up the ramp with their assistance. Meanwhile, Cera remains in the middle of the ring. Twirling her hammer around in a circle while watching everything unfold. Seconds after, the transmission cuts to black as a VOW emblem burns into the screen, then vanishes without a trace! |
