“Hold Your Ground” by CAVO once again covers the new opening package for VoW Breakthrough which has been present since Heatstroke 2016. Once the video ends, the scene switches to Alumni Hall in Annapolis, Maryland, showing a crowd that is pumped up for Breakthrough #51. Soon enough, a camera switches to Axel Reid and Ruby Parvati at ringside. Axel Reid: Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to Breakthrough #51, and welcome to the long-standing Alumni Hall in Annapolis, Maryland! We are riding high after a monumental Breakthrough #50 from Homewood Field in Baltimore, and we are set for more intense, emotional action here tonight! Ruby Parvati: That's right, Axel! Just like at Breakthrough #50, tonight we will have not one, but TWO Championship Matches! I can't wait to witness both of them! Axel Reid: One of those Championship matches will be our Main Event this evening, Ruby, with Heath Williams defending his I4NI Championship against not one, not two... but three competitors! A graphic appears on the screen promoting the match, showing Heath alongside Maxwell Soloke, Joanna Thade and Katalina Star. Ruby Parvati: That contest is going to be a wild spectacle! But Heath has to be out of his mind! After disposing of Tyron Bickerton for good, he accepted this Fatal Four Way Match against two malicious women and... well, a man who has lost more matches than he has won lately. Axel Reid: Maxwell Soloke came out for the challenge Heath set, and even though he admitted his shortcomings, he still wanted to gain an opportunity and prove himself. But with Joanna and Katalina involved as well, two sisters of the notorious Horsewomen, I'm expecting carnage to occur. Heath made this a Fatal Four Way Match and management accepted. Whether he can survive these odds is up to how much he wants to keep that I4NI Championship around his waist, even with how battered and fatigued his body is. The previous graphic then transitions into the second Championship Match, this one being for the vacant Twin City Championships, which are being contested between Animal Instinct and the team of James Mitchell Cornett and Cali-Kate. Ruby Parvati: And how about this match, Axel? Matthew Robinson and Winter Pine finally get the chance to prove why they are the best tag team in VoW against two individuals who claim they're better as a unit... despite this being their first match together in recent memory! Axel Reid: The Twin City Championships were vacated at Breakthrough #50 when Nicole Evans requested her release due to unfortunate circumstances, and Gina Neon respected her partner so much she decided not to find a replacement partner. But complications soon arose when Jamilyn Cornett, who teamed with Cali-Kate as Casa De Kami, suffered a concussion at the hands of Katalina Star, and she was ruled out of this match for her own safety. Ruby Parvati: But as JMC stated, a Cornett was scheduled for that contest, so who better to take her place than her very own father? The thing is, as much as he's stepping up to the plate here, he has exactly no idea how methodical Animal Instinct are. The Orphanage will rule once again by the end of tonight, I assure you! The Championship graphic fades, resulting in Axel and Ruby being shown at ringside once again, who resume their opening announcements. Axel Reid: Of course there will be other matches on the card, including one that sounds very, very interesting on paper. Gwendolyn Massey, the new Xcel Champion, will team with the FORMER champion Constance Chapin to take on Tristan Ambrose and his selected protege Arthur Kingsley in more Tag Team action! Ruby Parvati: Can we pause for a moment and talk about how amazing that main event was last week? Breakthrough #50 might’ve went down in the history books for stuff that people may whisper about, but last Breakthrough, we had a championship title switch from someone that we never thought would lose theirs any time soon! Of course we had Ace Watson defend his Zero Gravity Championship like the genius he is, capitalising on Tristan Ambrose's Doomsday and pinning Jamo, but I knew that was guaranteed the moment they stood in that ring. Axel Reid: Hindsight being 20/20 of course you would say that... Ruby Parvati: Oh believe me, I knew! But when Katie lost her belt, it was crushing... to her and every one of her supporters. When Casanova was dethroned without even being the one to get pinned and more or less got nothing in- Axel Reid: Whoa now Ruby, you know better than I do, that’s a sore spot right now for VoW and management after everything that came out of his mouth and said - regardless of how true it was OR contrary to popular belief... Ruby Parvati: True, but back on topic, when you have someone like Constance Chapin - a woman who has been able to look at each and every person who has stepped up to her. Been able to take on that task and stand victorious. Finally met her match in the form of the NEW Xcel Champion; The Lady Joker herself.. It makes you feel amazing to know that you were there to witness that all proverbial changing of the guard if you will. Axel Reid: Yeah, I will admit that no matter what happened in that match, no matter how Massey or Constance feels about it. The match was called down the middle, it was clean and no controversy behind it. Yet, the actions after the match are what many in VoW have come into questioning about. As the former, Constance did what any woman would do - she held her hand out attempting to save what little shred of dignity she had left. But it was kicked to the side by the new champion who more or less made it official, right then and there. That there WILL be a part three to this amazing series that these two women have been putting on! Ruby Parvati: I will agree with you on that Axel. Gwendolyn Massey and Constance Chapin have taken things to the next level here in VoW when it comes down to the Xcel Championship title and what pure wrestling looks like. Two women who have done it all damn near all over the world. Have won countless championship titles that some here in VoW fail in comparison to. There isn’t any bad blood between these two women. There isn’t he said or she said between these two women. At the end of the day Axel, this is about respect. This is about which woman will be looked at going into the end of the year here at VoW as the one thing that most people try their whole careers to become; a threat! Axel Reid: Of course! Here in VoW, nothing, and I mean NOTHING is handed to you. Look at Gwendolyn’s win/loss record and then look at how long Constance was champion? How many times she was willing to put the belt on the line? How many people stepped up to take the challenge, hell, you even had some attempt the Constance Challenge twice, if you will. Ruby Parvati: And here I -- ::Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!::Axel Reid: Hold on to the thought Ruby... it looks like your favorite person is about to make her way to the ring! The lights begin to flicker on and off all around the arena before completely engulfing the VoW Universe in nothing but darkness. Static is heard coming from the arena speakers following the drums. The lights flicker to the beat of the instruments as the big screen follows suit, revealing a silhouette of a female with her hair hiding her facial features and a hood over her head. ::Dun Dun Dun Dun - Dun Dun Dun Dun::The beat begins to pick up and laminated by the flickering lights is a figure which is kneeling down before the arena goes back completely black once again. The loyalist begin to go into a frenzy for the speculated person as the lights completely go off and after a moment of silence, they turn back on. The light focuses on the young woman who slowly rises to her vertical base; raising her head and her hand up before the big screen exposes the name Gwendolyn Massey across it. It is welcomed by the fans who support her who began to cheer for her as 'Fall Apart' by KRNE X Alexander Lewis begins to play throughout the arena. Ruby Parvati: Looks like the Lady Joker has stepped her game up considerably since she become the Xcel Champion! A new theme song, a new attitude.. if anyone has been paying close attention to the Joker’s demeanor as of late. In addition to her social media account. I wonder what she is doing out here? Do you remember the last time VoW gave her a microphone and she ended up ripping into Rayne Draven-Omega? Axel Reid: She definitely spoke her mind on a lot of things that night, not just regarding Rayne or her husband, our current General Manager and Director of Operations, Ryan Omega. Looking all around her as a small smirk appears on her face, she looks over to her left and then to her right at the fans before removing her hood and exploded from her position – pointing towards the ring mouthing 'That is MY Asylum!!' as she stands there with the Xcel Championship title around her waist. Taking it off, she draped it on her shoulder and began to head to the ring. Turning around, she extends her hands out to show off her hoodie which says 'The House of Joker - EST. 1990. Simple, Right?' As she is walking down, she stops by a couple of fans who have signs up about The Lady Joker before she nods her head and continues. Jerry Heisenberg: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome... your NEW Xcel Champion! She is the Lady Joker herself, GWENDOLYN MASSEY!!! Stopping in front of the ring, Gwendolyn looks around once again before staring down the ring. Walking towards the steps, she stands on the apron with her arms extended and the Xcel Championship now in hand, she looks out towards the universe yelling out 'Second to NONE!' as she steps between the ropes. Gwendolyn heads towards the edge of the ring where a microphone is placed in her hand, and she goes to stand in the middle of the ring. Of course, the fanfare around her is deafening. The VoW Nation, along with the Lady Joker Movement, are in full effect, chanting “Thank you, Gwendolyn“ and “You deserve it“. Ruby Parvati: Well!? This isn’t something you see everyday. Again, I return back to my last sentiment. The Lady Joker and Constance went to war at Breakthrough #50. They both knew what was on the line and tonight, you have the person who came out of that battle with everything. Axel Reid: That’s all fine and dandy Ruby, question is still... why is she out here and... wait a minute! Axel doesn't finish his sentence because Massey is now more or less standing in front of the two of them with a smile on her features. Then, both of her hands slam against the table. Her gaze meets Axel and she nods towards him, while he hesitantly returns it. Moving on to the next person, Massey blows a kiss towards Ruby, who turns bright red before rolling back into the ring and tapping the microphone a couple times, which in result, calms down the masses. Gwendolyn Massey: Before we get too deep into business... I thought that you guys, the VoW Nation and myself, could make some things known. For two hundred plus days, you all had to watch someone who rarely came on the microphone to express herself. For two hundred plus days... you all had to bare witness to someone who only had two title defenses... which is better than some that have held this championship title before they were beaten. For the last couple of days, I have been asked questions, you know? I have been stopped in public and asked for my thoughts on how Breakthrough #50 was overall. How even though I stood at the top of the show, it wasn’t what some would consider main event worthy. For those people, I have an answer for you. But not tonight. Tonight, is about how the former champion and myself will be going into battle in Tag Team action. Tonight, is about making things plain and simple for the VoW roster when it comes down to the Lady Joker and how things are going to go around here. TONIGHT... is just about having fun while messing up the establishment just a little bit, but if you all know me - my little bit compared to others is a lot! Granted and don’t get me wrong, I am NOWHERE near Queen status nor do I want it. But I promise you... I won’t sit back and keep my mouth shut when I see bull... Hell, the last person who didn’t left. Wonder what I’ll do if someone tried to shut me up!? Laughing into the microphone for a brief moment, she runs her fingers through her hair before touching the Xcel Championship title and taking a moment to actually look at it. The fans begin to cheer as she does this, which causes her to raise an eyebrow. Gwendolyn Massey: Well, aren’t you all pleased as punch.. pleased at the fact that I am standing here with something that once belonged to the woman that I have had the pleasure and displeasure of meeting in the ring more than I am willing to admit. You all are pleased at the fact that I am standing here, against popular belief, as YOUR Xcel Champion, correct? The fans throw themselves into a frenzy for the woman as she couldn’t do anything but smile. She allows them to have their moment as she lowers the microphone and soaks it all in for once. Standing there in her casual clothing, she begins to tap the microphone once again, which returns the same result as it did before. Gwendolyn Massey: That’s funny, ladies and gentlemen, that makes one of us and for good reason as well. You see guys and gals. Last Breakthrough, I wanted to prove something. I wanted to stand in that ring, look at the woman who made a bold claim, she wanted me to once again fight to earn HER respect. To prove to HER that I belonged in the position that I earned. Having had to fight my way through Rayne Draven-Omega. Having had to face names like Winter Pine, yeah.. I know, she’s a bitch. You all don’t even have to boo for her - that’s wasted breath. Heath Williams, Rebecca Saint, the boo Joanna Thade and the list goes on. What I am trying to say is that, those names I mentioned, weren’t easy persons of interest. Breakthrough, I wanted nothing more than to lay Constance out with my own personal Remedy to Chaos. I wanted to show her that I have been called to do this by making her submit. Funny thing is, the shoe was on the other foot that night when Constance became overzealous. She became obsessed because for once.. Like I f-bleep- told her.. She was going to see the person that each and every one of you see when you look at me - The Lady Joker! Her own actions lead to her own downfall.. but most of you all probably like, well Massey, why didn’t you shake her hand? Why didn’t you show respect to her!? Axel Reid: That was something that even we were asking! Ruby Parvati: Shhh... Gwendolyn Massey: You really want that answer? Do you REALLY want to know why I swatted her hand away from me? Because I don’t sell bull-bleep-. I refuse to look someone in the eyes, knowing that they aren’t truly behind the fact that THEY lost. Constance said it herself. She felt as though my win was hollow. No matter how many times you and I could review that ending, she will feel this way. So, I made it very clear. Unlike other champions. Unlike people before me who would just WALTZ onto the next person. Management doesn’t need to do this because I am making it official right now. At Armed and Dangerous, Constance Chapin WILL face Gwendolyn Massey, the Lady Joker herself... in a Joker’s Asylum Match! Axel Reid: Whoa! What a declaration by the champion! Gwendolyn Massey: Think... the 20/30 Vision Rules Match, without all of that extra stuff. She and I will fight and fight until that last call, if there is one, and TKO is the only way out. THIS will prove to everyone who the BEST in VoW is! Ruby Parvati: Can she do that? Axel Reid: I don’t think it is a matter of can she, I think she just did! The fans all around her begin to cheer at the Lady Joker’s decision to officially make the match for Armed and Dangerous. She begins to shush them playfully. Gwendolyn Massey: Oh, I am not done. You all and Constance will understand shortly as to why I am doing this. I WANT this. You see, the reason that I didn’t just GIVE this championship title back to Constance is because it doesn’t belong to her anymore. But.. but.. Constance does have something of mine that I would like and that is THE TITLE. Axel Reid: Wait, she's a champion. What does she mean by that? Ruby Parvati: Just listen! Gwendolyn Massey: That very same thing that Casanova English walked around with each and every day he woke up, until he lost it to Emma Carlisle and then took his ball, threw up the middle fingers and left. Yeah, that thing! Unlike others, I am not going to just go ahead with my title reign against people who in my opinion are just whatever they are. I want to make this championship something. Not for some stupid one off. Not for some unrealistic nonsense. And I’ll be damned if I allow this championship title to make me. Having this belt doesn’t nothing for me when you have someone who runs around with THE title and is recognized as such. To me, Constance is still as much the Xcel Champion as I am on paper. The crowd murmur as Gwendolyn rotates her neck slightly. Gwendolyn Massey: Heh..at least until I beat her ass once again and take everything away from her. I won’t feel like I have completely changed the guard. That TITLE she holds onto has value. It is the very thing that most of you all clinged to. This belt means nothing without it... and I want it. Axel Reid: I think she's saying she's not truly Xcel Champion until she defeats Constance one last time. Given how their last match ended, that conclusion must have worked her up considerably. Ruby Parvati: That's what I'm hearing as well. Gwendolyn Massey: So we will do this song and dance one more time. She and I will come to a definitive answer on which one of us is the BEST in VoW... and then... I can officially move on as Xcel Champion. Then and ONLY then will the games officially begin! Of course, I will not make any promises about how my whole attitude will change because I have this championship- because I currently hold another. I will not make an empty promise about how I intend on being a better champion through my words - my actions will back those up. I will NOT spew sweet nothings around when people talk about me - if they do, I intend on correcting them right then and there. The Asylum has always been open for business, it is just time to sign more people into it and that starts TONIGHT! Massey pauses for a second. Gwendolyn Massey: Oh and of course, continuing on the path to becoming World Visionary Champion - so keep everything nice and warm for me, Emma. Though, I know that there are some people who don’t like what I said. I know that there will be comments made because unlike others, I don’t like kissing ass. I know some of you in the back are probably questioning my words. Question on. Prove me wrong. I am not hard to find at all. I stand by each and everything that I have said and the VoW Nation knows this. Come find me. Flipping the microphone out of her hand, it is apparent by the look on her face that she isn't backing down from anything that she said. Afterwards she holds up the Xcel Championship in front of the nearest camera before rolling out of the ring and slowly making her way up the ramp. Ruby Parvati: Wait? Did Massey just more or less welcome-- Axel Reid: In this day and age, smack talking is all the rave but what Massey just did was put everyone in VoW on notice once again. And if Massey is serious about being World Visionary Champion one day - she is heading in the right direction! Ruby Parvati: I get that but do you think it wise to take shots at the current World Visionary Champion along with others on the roster? Axel Reid: Do you think of it as shots or calling them out into the light? To each their own but what Massey has expressed tonight is someone who has been champion before. Someone who doesn’t intend on allowing the former champion to still be able to make a claim to the belt - she wants to defeat her. Another interesting thing has to be that match. I think that Massey intends on reshaping that championship title and the way that things are done with it. She was amazing in the Xcel Rules Match but now I think she wants to go outside the box a bit. Ruby Parvati: Regardless, I may not always agree with what she has to say. But I cannot deny the fact that she said them. Also, she has more personality than most who have held that championship title. Tonight starts her official reign as Xcel Champion, whether she likes it or not. I just wonder what Constance will have to say about all of this. Probably nothing, knowing her. Axel Reid: Or she could have a lot to say. You never know with Constance. But speaking of champions and championship titles, we are going to find out in just a few moments who will become the next Twin City Champions! It will be Animal Instinct versus James Mitchell Cornett and Cali-Kate in our opening contest, and I believe Jerry Heisenberg is ready to make the formal introductions! Once again the Twin City Championship Match graphic appears, showcasing Matthew Robinson and Winter Pine, and JMC and Cali-Kate on opposite sides, with the aforementioned titles spinning prominently between the two teams. |

Opening Match
Standard Tag Team Match for the vacant Twin City Championships
Animal Instinct (Matthew Robinson and Winter Pine) vs. James Mitchell Cornett and Cali-Kate Once the pre-match graphic fades, a camera shows the vacant Twin City Championships being taken down to ringside and set on a podium. Once they have been carefully placed near a couple of security guards, we witness Jerry Heisenberg returning to his prior spot inside the ring. Axel Reid: This is no different for our shows to start with a bang. And now in terms of wrestling it doesn’t get much bigger than who is the best team. The championships are out for display, the name plates now blank. Soon enough two names will be etched onto them, and a new reign will commence. Jerry Heisenberg: The following contest is a Tag Team Match scheduled for one fall! And it is for the vacant TWIN CITY CHAMPIONSHIPS! The crowd cheer immensely until they are interrupted by "Awake & Alive" by Skillet blasting out of the PA system, and the fans boo heavily. "The Punisher" Matthew Robinson and "The Black Wolf" Winter Pine both walk out onto the stage looking out to the booing fans, with sick and twisted smirks on their faces. Pine saunters over to Robinson and plants a rough kiss on his lips before she then begins to make her way down the ramp, licking her lips as Robinson follows her. Jerry Heisenberg: Introducing first... at a combined weight of 403lbs... representing the Orphanage... MATTHEW ROBINSON AND WINTER PINE, ANIMAL INSTINCT!!! Ruby Parvati: Sometimes I wonder why these people boo Winter in particular. Axel Reid: Just look what she did to drive Stacy Jones crazy by dividing her family. Ruby Parvati: Nobody wants to be associated with a casper too long to be fair, Axel… Axel Reid: When they realized it wasn’t valid... they more than associate her as a friend, Ruby. Once both Robinson and Pine reach the bottom of the ramp, Pine makes her way over to the steel steps and climbs them as Robinson hops up onto the apron. He sits on the second rope, pushing the top rope up slightly allowing Pine to enter the ring first before he follows suit as they both climb opposite turnbuckles and drink in the incessant booing coming from the crowd. The two then climb back down and make their way to the centre of the ring, Robinson raising his arms above his head as Pine rests her body against his, giving a wicked wink into the camera as "Awake & Alive" fades out. Axel Reid: The dangerous Orphanage always has some sort of plan. It wouldn’t surprise me if these two had one. Ruby Parvati: Never underestimate a woman aiming for success. Jerry Heisenberg: And their opponents! First, hailing from Fort Wayne, Indiana... standing at 6'5" and weighing in at 279lbs... he is JAMES MITCHELL CORNETT, JMC!!! James doesn't do his usual entrance this evening as he bursts through the curtain with his black eyes apparent. He’s sprinting down to the ring, an animalistic fury to his step and a ton of wrapping around his right hand. Winter and Robinson recognize this right away and wait from him to slide under the ring and both greet him with an axe handle. The out of control start to the match begins right away as the two double team JMC from the get go before with stomps and axe handles, while Jerry understands the situation and hurriedly leaves the ring! Ruby Parvati: James is not even waiting for his partner! He wants to get right at Winter and Robinson, but they're beating him down as the team we know them to be! Axel Reid: It's anger he has kept since Jami received her concussion and after the pain Winter caused Stacy Jones prior to that! He is a man on a mission, but this match hasn't even officially started yet! Ruby Parvati: The emotions and ego of man often lead to their downfall! Robinson and Winter drag JMC up and the two begin a double team irish whip. As soon as they do that on the larger competitor, "Like Me" by Girlicious blares out and that moment of the music hitting is enough to get Winter to turn her head ever so slightly so that when she does, both she and Robinson get clotheslined by the freight-training JMC! JMC ends up throwing more punches toward Winter when he has the chance before Robinson catches JMC’s hand and uses leverage to get him down and before he can try to stomp on it, Cali-Kate has sprinted in with a missile dropkick that drops Robinson and Animal Instinct bail! Axel Reid: An extremely chaotic beginning here! Ruby Parvati: JMC’s hand is like a bullseye to a marksman. He’s still foolish for charging ahead like that. JMC pulls himself up and is still seeing red but his partner is here now as Winter and Robinson retreat over to their designated corner. The ref is imploring one of the two in JMC or Kate to get in the ring and after some talking it’s Kate to start. Seeing the chance Winter slides in and Robinson takes his place in the corner. The referee immediately signals for the bell, causing the crowd to cheer loudly! DING DING DING! Axel Reid: And now this match officially starts, but the tone has been set! An angered Winter charges forward and Kate calmly dropkicks her in the face and down she goes. As soon as Winter gets to her feet a standing spinning wheel kick follows and again down goes Winter. She points at JMC and the crowd roars in approval as she tags him in but Winter scrambles to her corner and tags Robinson in and the audience boos right away and JMC is not amused. Axel Reid: Winter not facing the music on that one. Ruby Parvati: Why would she want to stand in the ring with a lunatic who uses a dagger to mutilate his own hand!? Robinson charges in at JMC, angry at his attempts to go after Winter, and the two enforcers start throwing fists. JMC’s heavily bandaged hand gets the slight advantage though he winces with every heavy punch he throws before he throws a soft pawed cross that has Robinson drop his hands and a little bit wobbly and then a high knee follows and down goes The Punisher to the canvas and after a couple of stomps, Robinson rolls to the ropes and barks at the ref for a rope break and the ref intervenes finally starting to pull JMC back. But JMC is trying to charge ahead and the moment Robinson gets up and JMC tries to break through...a thumb to the eye to JMC follows. Ruby Parvati: Robinson manipulating the ref. Axel Reid: Certainly not one I’d agree with but it’s one way to get the emotion of the match to slow down a touch. JMC is rubbing at his eye when Robinson gets a full head of steam and clotheslines him down. He sees the wrapped right hand of JMC and gives it one simple stomp to get him to recoil up before dragging the larger competitor to his feet with that arm. James however has his own veteran experience and as soon as Robinson tries to charge a second time with a clothesline, a drop toe hold does follow and he hooks the foot and tags in Kate and while Robinson is still grounded from the drop toe hold, she climbs the top rope and dives off with an elbow to the spine. She rolls Robinson on his back while JMC leaves the ring and gets quick cover. ONE! TWO! T---Robinson kicks out. JMC exits the corner shaking his weakened hand a little while Kate is throwing a few kicks to the spine of Robinson. Winter barks out toward the ref about the validity of the kicks but it’s a simple leg drop across the back of the head. She tries going for another cover but Robinson isn’t having any of it by shoving her off and as soon as she approaches him, he grabs her by the waist and sends her toward the Animal Instinct corner and Winter hits a forearm to the head and Robinson waist locks Cali-Kate and german suplexes her onto the mat. Axel Reid: That’s where spending time together has its advantages… Ruby Parvati: Oh come on, when a team lives together and the other doesn’t it aids your communication! Robinson tags out right away as Winter waltzes in the forearm strikes to the face of Cali-Kate are rapidfire and relentless. Robinson throws additional badmouth from the corner in vulgar terms as Winter drags Cali-Kate up to her feet and keeps the attack simple with a swinging neckbreaker. The spine is the isolation as when she sits up to try to recoil instinctively a knee to the spine greets her and it isn’t pleasant. Winter spits in the general direction of JMC and JMC tries to charge but the ref is there and to the ire of the audience...Robinson chokes Cali-Kate in the corner while Winter is throwing boots. Ruby Parvati: Genius! Axel Reid: That was a...disgusting tactic. The ref turns around and sees no foul play as Robinson had stopped the onslaught and Winter has just dragged Kate to her feet to knife edge chop her back into the corner. A quick tag is made and the more powerful Robinson comes in and the mudhole stomps begin at the corner. They utilize the five count with Winter leaving at four and Robinson ends up dragging Kate up to her feet and a belly to belly suplex follows and there’s a cover. ONE! TW---JMC stomps on Robinson’s head. Ruby Parvati: JMC is a mad man. Axel Reid: While she probably could have kicked out...it does save some energy for her. Ruby Parvati: But he could snap and maim these two any second. He has no respect for the rules! Axel Reid: After what Winter and Robinson have been doing that’s highly hypocritical… Robinson keeps it simple and puts a rear chin lock on Kate and the audience is clapping hoping to will Kate to her corner to help. Robinson cranks on the pressure best he can but you can see Cali-Kate stick her right hand between Robinson’s hands and her chin to alleviate some of the pressure and then she starts to get to her feet. It turns into a headlock as soon as they’re to their feet and Kate fires off elbows to the stomach. Robinson lets go of the hold and fires a desperate right that the smaller athlete dodges and then she fires a Geek Chic Kick and Robinson goes down in a heap and Cali-Kate collapses to the canvas! Axel Reid: That kick Cali-Kate has honed can be fired in many positions and the veteran Robinson just learned that from experience! Ruby Parvati: Now she could tag that damn lunatic in! Cali-Kate is crawling on all fours trying to get to her partner. Robinson rolls over, having a shorter distance to cover, tags in Winter and Winter leaps over the ropes to try to prevent the tag but Cali-Kate lunges over and tags in JMC and JMC comes in like a house of fire, his black eyes focused on Winter and he clubs her with a clothesline! Winter gets up quickly but James is having none of it and there’s a second clothesline that takes her down. Robinson is up in the corner about ready to intervene but a boot right to the face takes Robinson down on the apron! Axel Reid: One of the largest competitors in VoW is a house of fire right now! Ruby Parvati: And Winter is all alone with him. This is NOT good. Winter staggers to her feet and JMC grabs her by the neck and that reverse swinging neckbreaker follows. He doesn’t go for a cover though as he backs his way to the corner just waiting for his adversary just to stir a little bit and eventually she does before he charges and the shining wizard connects! He finally changes eye color to his normal color and he shoots the half and makes a cover. ONE! TWO! THR--Robinson elbows James in the neck! Axel Reid: That vicious shining wizard could have ended it. Ruby Parvati: But Robinson made sure it didn't. Robinson shoves JMC when he has the chance before retreating to his corner but JMC retains his focus on Winter. He looks like he’s trying to set up for his Retroactive finish as Winter staggers up. As soon as he grips her though, the blows to his bad hand come in rapid fire and he has to recoil and then the divorce court armbreaker gets her a little bit of separation. A few rapid fire stomps on that hand gets her admonished by the ref as he rolls over toward his corner, the wound clearly bothering him. Axel Reid: Every wrestler has a super high threshold for pain. But the years of abuse and the attacks on the hand over the years will slow any person down. Ruby Parvati: His self inflicted attacks on it do not help. Robinson looks to try to gain an advantage and he’s looking for his Total Punishment! As soon as he leaps up, JMC grabs onto the ropes and Robinson crashes in a heap. JMC tags a slightly recovered Cali-Kate and Cali-kate quickly scrambles up the top rope and launches a double foot stomp! She goes for a quick cover! ONE! TWO! THR---Winter breaks it up! Winter goes back to her corner as the ref admonishes her. Robinson rolls toward the corner and whle Kate tries to prevent that...Winter tags in and the two start trading a couple of fists before Winter digs her fingernail into her eye and then the Depredation Driver! She scrambles over for a quick cover. ONE! TWO! THREE??? CALI-KATE POWERS OUT! Ruby Parvati: How did bubble gum princess kick out?! Axel Reid: The desire to win a championship! The desire to be a champion as a team once again! Winter barks at JMC and this time JMC barrels through and the ref isn’t there to stop him. Robinson runs in to intercede and JMC tackles him! The two of them roll out of the ring brawling. The ref maintains focus on the two legal competitors until the audience boos, all based on Winter. She picks up Cali-Kate in the ring, the two legal competitors, but Cali-Kate rolls her up! The ref, however, is distracted by Robinson going for a weapon at ringside, causing him to leave the confines of the ring! Axel Reid: Damn it! It’s ridiculous! Robinson is going to brutalize JMC with that steel chair! Ruby Parvati: But he hasn't done anything yet! Axel Reid: Wait who is that?! After being down for a few counts Winter does power out but a man in a suit has barrelled down the ramp and gets on the apron. Cali-Kate isn’t aware and waistlocks the rising Winter from behind but Winter charges forward and ducks through the ropes, and Cali-Kate ends up getting the green mist from the suited man! She got misted from Seth Iser! Axel Reid: SETH ISER! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?! She is blinded and Winter uses this chance to twist Cali-Kate into a Straight Jacket Neckbreaker as she’s blinded! Robinson drops the chair once he sees what's going on and makes sure to keep JMC at bay, and the referee turns back to action as Iser drops down from the apron, remaining undetected! Winter blocks Kate's face from view to shield the mist as she puts in a deep cross-legged cover, and the referee makes the count! Axel Reid: DAMN IT, NO! ONE! TWO! THREE??? THREE!!! DING DING DING!!! Axel Reid: I can’t believe this! Ruby Parvati: NEW CHAMPIONS! Animal Instinct have lived up to their goals and their dreams! THEY ARE THE NEW TWIN CITY CHAMPIONS! Jerry Heisenberg: The winners of this match... and the NEW TWIN CITY CHAMPIONS... MATTHEW ROBINSON AND WINTER PINE, ANIMAL INSTINCT!!! Robinson rolls into the ring as JMC on the outside realizes what has just happened. He’s first in a rage but the more immediate concern then goes to the green misted Cali-Kate. Seth, roaming around ringside, snatches the championships from the podium and enters the ring, personally handing them to Robinson and Winter. Both of them raise the belts over their heads as Rayne suddenly appears, situated in the crowd applauding. And then finally from the apron... Seth Iser enters and the three known Orphanage members look at the fourth before there’s a smirk etched on Rayne’s face at ringside, flashing around a purchased ticket for the show, meaning she is able to be present! Robinson and Winter embrace... and then they turn to Iser, with all three exchanging handshakes to the ire of the audience! Axel Reid: Damn it! Ruby Parvati: That is a cataclysmic shift! Seth Iser is part of the Orphanage! Axel Reid: Rayne here in the crowd, Robinson, Winter...and then retooled with Seth Iser in the VoW branch of The Orphanage! God help us all. Kate is getting water poured over her eyes as the two defeated parties are angrily escorted out, with JMC being blocked from going back and fighting the victors. The four members of the Orphanage end up posing with Robinson going a little over the top in particular with his celebration and Winter being ridiculously happy that she finally has achieved gold. Axel Reid: This... is going to be the start of dark times. I can feel it in my bones. As Iser shouts out at the audience, with Robinson and Winter embracing again and Rayne continuing to cheer from beyond the crowd barriers, the celebratory scene fades to a commercial break. |

Divine Challenge We return from the commercial break to see Seth Iser still stood inside the ring. Robinson, Winter and Rayne - who while being suspended was able to show up as an attendee with a purchased ticket - have disappeared, presumably to celebrate Animal Instinct's triumph as the new Twin City Championships. The crowd are booing vociferously, directed at the man in the suit who helped his new Orphanage cohorts to leave Alumni Hall victorious. Axel Reid: Welcome back to Breakthrough #51, ladies and gentleman and... I still can't believe what just happened. Seth Iser... helped Animal Instinct win the Twin City Championships by giving Cali-Kate the green mist, when the referee was distracted by Robinson wielding a steel chair, and... he joined the Orphanage. Rayne was out here in the crowd, celebrating that fact as well. But this lunatic has been ranting and raving since the commercial break, and the rest of the Orphanage have gone elsewhere. Ruby Parvati: It has been saintly knowledge, Axel. This man exudes it every time he breathes. The mist he used earlier has dripped onto his white and purple suit that he’s decided to wear but the audience has continued to boo him for both previous actions and what he just pulled off. He just glares out into the crowd though... disgust and anger obvious. The fans are booing him heavily. Seth Iser: Go ahead and boo me. Boo me like you boo the President even though you all claim to be patriots. Boo me like you boo a black athlete for not kneeling at the symbol of your anthem just because your dimwitted sense of patriotism got questioned. Yet after fifteen years...we’ve yet to learn the true lessons of 9/11 because people like you continue to exploit it. That last line, especially in the navy town, gets nuclear amounts of boos. Seth Iser: Go ahead. Boo. Let it out. BOO! You prove my point. You all just want your own power and you whine and cry when someone questions it with logic. You went to war in Iraq on a lie and kept moving the goalposts because you’re power hungry. It’s why we’re bombing over seven different countries now. And yet you boo me and other athletes for freedom of speech while turning a blind eye to the government. Each of you should be ashamed. Iser does the dreaded point to all of them while mouthing the word ‘Shame’ repeatedly and the boos are at a fever pitch. There’s the obvious "YOU TAPPED OUT" chant that follows and that just tempers Iser even further. One fan even throws a lighter at Iser and it hits him on the lip! He kicks the bottom rope in frustration at the audience. Seth Iser: Go ahead and throw that son of a bitch out because he violated the rules on the ticket and I’ll see your ass in court and destroy what’s left of your sorry reputation. THROW HIM OUT! Iser points at a member of the audience, who is now being escorted from his seat by security and eventually dragged away. The fans boo this display and Iser doesn’t make things any better when he gives a mock wave toward the guy being thrown out before he rubs his lip with his left hand to make sure he isn’t bleeding. Seth Iser: Don’t like a taste of your own medicine do you? You hypocrites gave Matt Slater a participation medal at Fate of the Gods and then give me the finger since you like to play favorites. And unlike Slater...who is a wicked individual...I’m an honest man and a good father...a great wrestler. Where is my respect? By your standards...where is my participation medal since that’s your low life standard? You gave Reya a participation medal for getting in the ring with me cheering her but when she got a taste of God she fell. And yet whenever I have a defeat...here you guys are picking and choosing your targets as if I’m a terrorist and you have the movie mindframe of killing them all...because why? You’re gutless cowards who hate the other viewpoint. You’re all no good discriminatory hypocrites. There’s another chorus of boos for Seth Iser as his angry speech continues. His face has gone red with all the anger pouring out. Seth Iser: You hate that someone you don’t like is a successful veteran of this wonderful industry. One of the best wrestlers that has ever laced up a damn pair of boots. And you hate the fact that he’s an Orphan now. But the one thing I learned from people like Slater is I could’ve been a puppet dancing on your strings and enforcing your form of justice blindly. Yet you wouldn’t treat me with the same respect as you do Matt Slater. Now more than ever after that damn match and that is NOT fair because damn it...for over fifteen years I’ve proven my worth and until that one match it was undisputed that I WAS BETTER THAN HIM! And I still think I am but every one of you will take that ONE match and shove it down my throat all YEAR! And THAT is not FAIR! That is an INJUSTICE and each of you perpetrating it like our government to other countries or the police to an innocent are the real terrorists. And you should all be ashamed that you are treating a man who has spent his entire adult life in this industry doing what he can to make a living and be one of the greats like a damn criminal! I DESERVE BET-- Iser's yells of injustice are cut off by the smooth, quiet tones of "Bleeding Me" by Metallica, and soon after, out walks the former Zero Gravity Champion Katie Moicelle, armed with a microphone. Ruby Parvati: Oh no... Axel Reid: It's Katie Moicelle! Someone has finally interrupted this pariah and it happens to be the previous Zero Gravity Champion, who has been in quite the slump lately. Ruby Parvati: She’s out of her mind! This must be her depression leading her on this path! It's a self-destructive decision! Iser literally mouths profanities as he looks down the ramp in anger. The fans cheer louder than they have almost the whole night for the young brunette as she stands on the stage, ready to trade words. Her music fades out, making the chants for Katie more noticeble. Katie Moicelle: You, sir, have piqued my interest with all this talk about injustice and how you losing once to someone you've beaten five times before is unfair. Don't get me wrong, I do see you as better than Slater in a competitive manner... but don't you think sometimes that's not why they like him over you? I mean, take me for example. You hear how loud everyone here who's name isn't Ruby yelled when my new theme hit? And do you know how many matches I've won since losing Zero-Gee? Katie holds up one finger. Katie Moicelle: I've won one match, and I'm sure Jessica Mathis will want that one back one day. But, the point I'm trying to make with that is you don't have to be the best wrestler in order to be appreciated in VoW, or really anywhere. You just have to be kind enough. Now, I ha-- Seth Iser: Kindness does nothing on these barbarians if they already have a preconceived notion on whether they like you or not. Iser just eyeballs Katie and there's obvious anger that he was interrupted but he's doing his best to repress that emotion. He straightens his ruffled tie and ignores the loud "ISER SUCKS" chant and Iser just lets them get it all out of their system. Seth Iser: There's another reason you came out here than to try to lecture to me about kindness. I'd suggest you get to that point immediately. The last sentence is delivered calm, cold, and calculating. More along the lines of the usual, taciturn Iser than the emotional one yelling at the audience even though again...he's still visibly angry. Katie bites her lip for a few seconds before lifting the mic back up to her lips and walking to the ring. Katie Moicelle: All right, then... You know, I'm actually relieved you cut me off when you did, because I was starting to ramble... anyway, since I'm not getting another Zero Gravity title shot, and I'm not allowed to get a World Visionary title shot... Ruby Parvati: And rightfully so! Katie Moicelle: ...How about at some point down the road, you and I have a match? Nothing too special about it, and nothing really to lose. Just Seth Iser versus Katie Moicelle in a one-on-one match with the winner getting bragging rights for a bit? The crowd cheer this challenge, causing Katie to pause and look around. Ruby Parvati: She's... she's got to be kidding right? Axel Reid: Ruby... I don't believe she's in a comical mood. This is a genuine challenge she is putting forward, against a man who is known the world over as the Deity of Destruction! Ruby Parvati: Yeah, best to get that grave plotted early then. Katie Moicelle: That's all I really want right now. It could be a fun little learning experience for the both of us in a way, I think. A genuine smile crosses Moicelle's face as she speaks that last sentence, as if she actually believes her own words. Iser listens as the audience continues being positive at the announcement for a match and he just raises an eyebrow curiously for a minute to digest the information before that familiar snarl is back on his face. Seth Iser: Don’t be so damn naive. I learned at your age that this industry isn’t merely ‘fun’ when there were two hundred and fifty Japanese fans cringing when I was wrestled in nails, barbed wire, and glass just to earn a hotdog and a coke in a foreign country where I couldn’t speak their language. Iser slants his eyes toward the audience for a minute. Seth Iser: Even though those strangers treated me with more respect than most of the crowds in this misinformed sheeple of a country do today because they have their own opinions of…’Making America Great.’ The pointed sentence gets another round of boos before he turns his head back toward Katie for a minute. Seth Iser: But let me bottom line this. The long reigning former Zero Gravity Champion wants to see where she stands bell to bell with someone who has seen it all. She wants to see how close she is from taking the leap from good to great by staring across at the one guy who has seen everything in this industry. She wants to see how close she is to becoming...great. Iser looks down at the smaller wrestler just gauging her reaction. Just waiting to see her own response to his assessment. Katie only nods, knowing Seth had summed it up quite well. Katie Moicelle: Well, that's my half of this, anyway. But, what about you? Surely after destroying Reya the way you did, you're feeling pretty highly, right? Like a God, to use your words. Wouldn't be a shame if a God... a former Deity fell to a measly Jet? Katie looks to the crowd now. A receptive crowd that’s clapping for her all the while. Katie Moicelle: Because the fans would eat that one up. The fans cheer that one as Iser just glares at the audience in disgust. Katie Moicelle: And maybe I'd feel better about myself. Yeah, sure, tonight if I beat Patrick Jones, that'll be nice to have that match back after a year and a half, but I'm still not exactly where I was when I was beating the likes of Kincaid. Pro wrestling's a slippery slope, and wouldn't it be a shame if a God slipped off said slope? Iser cracks his neck and just looks down with intensity...and with anger. Seth Iser: Funny. Real funny. Insinuating that I’d fall like that after Slater did everything he could for half of a damn year to drag my name through the mud and ruin my reputation. He beat me... and said I was no longer God. Well I'm still a GOD! And I’m not going to let you do the same thing, kid. Armed and Dangerous...last year I faced your opponent Patrick Jones at that pay per view. This year. I’ll facing you. I accept your challenge. The audience lets out their roar of approval at this and Katie nods her head knowing she has what she wants. Axel Reid: Yet another match has been announced for Armed and Dangerous, and this one seems more than official at this point! Ruby Parvati: Katie Moicelle versus Seth Iser! She won't leave Washington D.C as the same person, and she'll never be the same ever again! Seth Iser: But I’ll show you the difference between good and great. Your arms are too short to box with God. Iser just lowers his eyes and starts to take his leave before he turns the microphone on one more time. Seth Iser: And this God decrees...you’ll stay so close to that breakthrough...and yet so far away one more time. Iser recommences his departure after these stinging words. However, Katie's not exactly done. Katie Moicelle: There we go, those are the words I wanted to hear. My arms may just be too short to box with God, but they're just right to box with Iser. Let's make this match happen, Sethie-poo. With a more devious smile than we've seen in a while, Katie sets down her microphone in the middle of the ring so she doesn't damage company property as she takes her own leave, "Bleeding Me" accompanying her out. Iser just lets her take her leave but that glare is obvious that he was far from pleased with this interruption. Axel Reid: So we have one more match that seems offical for Armed and Dangerous. I hope Katie knows what she's getting herself into with how angry and borderline satanic Iser has been. Ruby Parvati: She doesn't Axel. That's the thing. She's completely lost her mind after Ace Watson defeated her to retain the Zero Gravity Championship at Heatstroke! Axel Reid: But never say that Katie cannot win. As she stated, she once defeated the powerful Kincaid, and she also took down Tyron Bickerton when he was the Zero Gravity Champion to win that title. Her skills cannot be questioned-- Ruby Parvati: Yet the state of her mind can, and I assure you, Axel... she has bitten off way more than she can chew in order to find something that puts her on the right track again. The scene then changes to a match graphic for Patrick Jones versus Katie Moicelle, indicating that it will occur later in the evening. Axel Reid: Well later tonight she will be competing against Patrick Jones, and that match will certainly test both competitors who are seeking a way to get back to their winning ways. We'll be right back after these quick messages from our beloved sponsors, folks! The graphic fades and we see Katie turning and looking at Seth as she reaches the stage, with Seth standing at ringside glaring from afar. Eventually Katie leaves, with the scene fading to another commercial break. |

Triple Threat Match
Saul Morgan vs. Jacob Cass vs. Jamo As we return from the commercial break, we see a man inside the ring that has never been seen before. The crowd are rather quiet, watching on as Jerry Heisenberg stands near him and begins an announcement. Jerry Heisenberg: The following contest is a Triple Threat Match, scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, currently in the ring... coming from... the homeless shelter... standing at 6'1" and weighing in at 160lbs... SAUL MORGAN!!! Ruby Parvati: Who in the world is this man? He looks frail and unclean... Axel Reid: This man is Saul Morgan, Ruby. He's a homeless veteran, an ex-marine actually, who has been left stranded on the streets as he became a vagrant. It's quite upsetting to know a serviceman like that can be treated so poorly. Ruby Parvati: Maybe it was his own fault. But why is he in our ring? Axel Reid: Well as you just heard, Ruby, he's competing here tonight. Caitlyn Caulfield is the woman who convinced Ryan Omega to give him a chance once she discovered him, and he has spent some time in the training camp getting used to the wrestling ring, the ropes, you name it. Ruby Parvati: So we have an ex-marine here who has been put up for slaughter. I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but this is what this will be. Axel Reid: He has a fighting chance, Ruby. Maybe... Suddenly, Jerry makes his second introduction. Jerry Heisenberg: Introducing next... hailing from Detroit, Michigan... standing at 6'2" and weighing in at 225lbs... "The Devil of Dark Arts"... JACOB CASS!!! Once "The Way I Am" by Eminem starts playing, Jacob Cass appears on the stage with a smug look on his face. He scans the crowd briefly before slowly walking down the ramp. Black and white lights flicker across the stage and ramp and Jacob laughs maniacally which causes the crowd to boo him louder. Ruby Parvati: Now this is someone who looks like a wrestler... because he is one! Jacob Cass! I've heard a lot about this man recently. Axel Reid: This is his debut match in VoW, Ruby. And as of right now he will also be part of the Third Eye Open Trios Tournament that begins in October, starting in Seoul, South Korea! Ruby Parvati: He looks better in person than he does on the videos I've seen. Jacob stares at a few fans before smirking and laughing. Jacob now relishes the boos quietly before climbing the steps and standing in the center of the ring. A spotlight shines on him while he yells out a blood curdling primal scream which causes the crowd to shiver in fear. He puts a fist in the air before transitioning it into a gun taunt and screaming "This is my house!" while pointing into the camera that is nearest to him. After that he turns to Morgan and laughs again. Ruby Parvati: I would laugh too, Jacob. This man is going to get creamed. Axel Reid: If Jacob can maintain his focus instead of acting like he's a God, which he has been known to do, then you could be right. But Jacob is not his only opponent, as we soon discover. "All Alone" by David O'Dowda plays from the speakers, leading to the appearance of "The Lone Wolf" Jamo. He stands on the stage, soaking in the cheers he gets from the crowd before he lets out a rough howl. After punching the air, he walks towards the ring. Jerry Heisenberg: And finally... hailing from Baltimore, Maryland... standing at 6'2" and weighing in at 240lbs... "THE LONE WOLF" JAMO!!! Ruby Parvati: At least he isn't the Zero Gravity Champion. That belt belongs to Ace Watson. Axel Reid: It was Jamo that did get pinned during that Triple Threat Match at Breakthrough #50 between him, Tristan Ambrose and Ace Watson for the belt, but some people say that was Tristan's match to win. Ruby Parvati: I mean he did give Jamo the Doomsday, but you have to give Ace credit. He picked his spot wisely and came in when it mattered. That's what a champion does. Axel Reid: No, that's what a coward does. Jamo, on the other hand, is no coward. He will take on anyone that's put in front of him and go toe-to-toe with them. Ruby Parvati: Because he's a maniac... a crazed, hardcore maniac. Once he reaches the ring, Jamo jumps onto the apron and steps through the ropes. He scans the crowd before he mounts a corner, throwing up his arms to further cheers. He steps down afterwards and stares at Jacob and Saul, standing still as the other two prepare. Axel Reid: This will be Jamo's second Triple Threat Match in a row, but I'm sure he'll be a lot wiser knowing what to expect. Ruby Parvati: Even so, I still believe Jacob will win. He has the tools to get it done quickly. Axel Reid: And then there's Saul Morgan... Ruby Parvati: This is no place for him to be at this stage in his life. He's going to get decimated in seconds! DING! DING! DING! As soon as the bell sounds Morgan, being full of spirit and bravery, charges head-first towards Jamo, clubbing him in the stomach and neck with strikes. Unfortunately Jamo quickly retaliates with his own punches, finally knocking Saul to the canvas with a headbutt. The homeless veteran collapses to the canvas, all while Jacob looks on with a smile on his face. Ruby Parvati: See what I mean? He has no business being here. Axel Reid: At least he's making the most of this opportunity. He truly does want to win. The crowd are still unsure how to treat Saul, watching him take a vertical suplex from the Lone Wolf. As soon as the move connects, Jacob finally gets involved in the action, decking Jamo from behind and forcing him into the corner with boots. Several knees to Jamo's face and chest follow, rendering him debilitated before Jacob poses and gloats to the masses. Axel Reid: Jacob truly thinks he's been blessed as a God. He truly believes he's greater than everyone, just like Seth Iser does. Ruby Parvati: He does have excellent ability, Axel. Someone with those skills is bound to be proud and confident. Axel Reid: Confident? That's just plain arrogance! Meanwhile, Jacob has Morgan trapped in a front facelock, laughing as the veteran struggles. Eventually he takes Saul to the canvas before rapidly standing up and stomping the sole of his boot onto Morgan's face, causing the latter to clutch his nose in pain. Jacob theatrically dusts his hands and swaggers around his downed opponent, telling him that "this ring is his house" and "you belong in a homeless shelter". Axel Reid: This man makes my blood boil. Suddenly, from out of the corner, Jamo charges forward and knocks Jacob backwards with a diving shoulder tackle! Cass stumbles into the opposite corner, trapping him there as Jamo rushes in with headbutts and punches. The crowd get behind Jamo, watching him whip Jacob out of the corner to the ropes, and then giving him a Belly-to-Belly throw! Axel Reid: Now Jamo is on the offensive. Jacob really made him angry with those knee strikes! Jacob hastily gets up, but Jamo is right there waiting for him. Another Irish Whip ensues, this time back into the corner, and Jamo rushes in with a hard clothesline. Jacob stumbles out of the corner clutching his chest, yet Jamo doesn't give him room to recover, grabbing his hair and pulling him into a Neckbreaker! Ruby Parvati: Jamo obviously got this far by sneaking up on Jacob... Axel Reid: That's how Jacob attacked Jamo in the first place! This is karma coming back around! Jamo attempts a cover, but Jacob smartly rolls under the ropes to the outside. Following suit, Jamo grabs Cass and tries to slam his face onto the apron, but Cass elbows him in the stomach and gives him a DDT onto the floor! Ruby Parvati: Oh wow, that's the way to stop someone! Axel Reid: Jamo's head just bounced off the floor after that DDT, and Jacob does not give a damn! A wretched smile appears on Jacob's face as he leans on the apron. Laughter soon comes forth as the crowd boo, and the man who believes God is with him rolls back into the ring. He kneels by the ropes, insulting Jamo this time around before he stands up and spreads his arms. Ruby Parvati: What a man he is. I just wish I could-- Axel Reid: There's Morgan! Suddenly, from behind Jacob, Morgan groggily rushes towards his foe and wraps his arm around his leg, pulling him over into a Roll-Up! Axel Reid: Morgan has a roll-up on Jacob! The referee slides in for the count... ONE! TWO! THREE!!! DING! DING! DING!!! After the three count is made, Jacob forces Morgan off him, sitting up with a shocked look on his face. Meanwhile Morgan barrels over to the ropes and keeps going, immediately leaving the confines of the ring and looking shocked himself! The crowd are cheering, and the cheers get louder as the referee leaves the ring and raises Morgan's arm as the victor! Ruby Parvati: NO! THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT! Axel Reid: Morgan trapped Jacob with the roll-up, and he couldn't get out in time! I don't believe it! In his first ever Professional Wrestling Match, Saul Morgan has upset Jacob Cass! Jerry Heisenberg: Here is your winner... SAUL MORGAN!!! Ruby Parvati: This is wrong! That referee had to have been helping him so he could be fed! Axel Reid: Are you that callous?! He won fair and square! Saul Morgan is a winner tonight, and I still can't believe I'm saying that! The homeless veteran jumps up and down, pumping his arms and celebrating wildly. He even hugs the referee in his excitement, knowing he has earned himself some money and some nourishing food. Jacob, meanwhile, is outraged, kicking the ropes and telling the referee over and over he kicked out. Ruby Parvati: He did kick out, he's right! Axel Reid: But it was after the count of three! It doesn't matter if he did, the fact is he never did it beforehand! And Jamo is now recovering on the outside, but he was not part of that conclusion at all. Jacob leaves the ring and goes after Morgan, who is leaving the stage and going through the curtain in euphoric fashion. Meanwhile Jamo, holding the back of his neck, staggers around ringside before he too puts on a chase, going after Jacob in the process. Ruby Parvati: I guess we have a conga-line of targets right now. Axel Reid: There's plenty of security on hand, Ruby. This will be dealt with before anything serious happens. I'm sure of it. As soon as Jamo reaches the stage, his departure is interrupted by a video on the screen... |

Cost Of Admission The video begins to play on the big screen. 'Recorded Earlier' shows up in the lower right-hand corner of the screen as the visual fades in on a portion of an exterior wall--and with a little bit of jostling, it becomes clear that this is being shot outside of Alumni Hall. Judging by the beginnings of a crowd forming at the entrance leading inside, it's a few hours before Breakthrough is scheduled to begin. There's a bit more turning and a huffed-out grumble from an unfamiliar, feminine voice with a definitive small town twang to it. Woman: C'mon, you damn thing... A bit more turning and the face that fills the screen is none other than the Oncoming Storm herself, Erin Gordon. Her brow furrowed, it takes her a moment to realize that the camera is now pointed where she wants it to be. Erin Gordon: Oh. Okay then. Erin faintly clears her throat, a fist rising to cover her mouth as she does before she's returning her focus to the camera on her phone. There's something sheepish in her tone, though it does nothing to change its inherently flat nature. Erin Gordon: Sorry about that, folks. I ain't so good with this... iGalaxy, or whatever my son said it was. I told him I just wanted somethin' that'd make calls, so of course he saddled me with this thing. Anyway, the name's Erin Gordon and you might've heard of me. I ain't gonna assume you have, though, 'cuz I haven't been in this business long. Just long enough to know that I wanna keep goin', even if the place I started out at is closin' its doors soon. It ain't the first time that the rug's bein' yanked out from under my feet, and it sure as Hell won't be the last. The Oncoming Storm nods faintly, her expression subtly darkening for a moment before she's dismissing it with a scoff. Erin Gordon: Hell, that's a universal kind of truth, I think. At least, it's true of the folks where I come from... which is a place I know for a FACT that very few of y'ins have ever heard of. But the world's full of places like that, y'know? Places where the world's not movin' so fast, or where it's just ground to a halt entirely. Blooming Valley's one of those places, and it's not just stuck in time--it's DYIN' there, takin' down the hopes and dreams of the kids and adults alike. I can't save the place single-handed, and I ain't gonna pretend that I can. A pause; leaning in a little, the intensity of a mother bear shows itself in those gray eyes. Erin Gordon: But you can bet your ass that I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure that my son don't see for himself that it's never too late to reach for those dreams that everybody and their mama tells you can't become real. I ain't gonna let one hiccup stop me, not when I'm just gettin' started. I know I've got one Hell of a hard road ahead of me, so I'm not promisin' instant success. I'm not gonna thump my chest and say that makin' a name for myself here in VoW is gonna be so simple that a Caveman can do it, cuz I know for a fact that it ain't gonna be like that at all. What I CAN promise you, though, is that anyone that gets into the ring with me will sure as s-bleep- be sore enough to remember what I put'em through come the mornin' after. Now if you excuse me..? Her other hand comes into the shot, revealing that she's holding onto a general admission ticket for Breakthrough. Erin Gordon: I'm gonna go watch these fine folks do what they do best and see if I can't learn a thing or two. It seems like a smooth enough ending, one can suppose, but there's a bit more fumbling and what might just be a muttered curse before the recorded video comes to an end. Once the video concludes, the cameras see Erin Gordon seated in the crowd, smiling and nodding her head as the rest of the crowd cheer. Axel Reid: And there she is, Ruby. Erin Gordon. And I have been told, on good authority, that Erin Gordon will be making her in-ring debut at Breakthrough #52, which happens to be from The Pavilion in Villanova, Pennsylvania! Ruby Parvati: I have heard some positive things about Erin, but how she combats the roster here awaits to be seen. Axel Reid: We do possess some of the finest talent in the business under one roof, Ruby, as we are both aware. Yet if she wants to continue her career and claim the best opportunities she can, this is the place to get it done! The cameras pan the crowd for a few moments until the scene changes, this time occurring from within the backstage areas of Alumni Hall. |

Bloody Gold and Fresh Meat Switching to the locker room area, the camera focuses on a familar weapon: the warhammer of Joanna Thade, named Hephty. She's carefully polishing the maul with a white cloth, whistling to herself softly as she works. Such a sight could be considered peaceful were it not for the hateful fire in her eyes, a sure sign that bloodlust wasn't far behind. Across the room from her is Katalina Star, idly toying with a leather crop that, which from moment to moment, she'd swat Candi with. The typical reaction of the blonde is a squeak and a giggle as the blows were mere token strikes, not meant to hurt. The dominatrix looks rather thoughtful as she selects a different spot every time. The relative peace of the moment, however, is ended by Joanna bringing down Hephty on the seat of an unfolded steel chair, wrecking it in one solid smash. Candi jumps, hiding behind Katalina, who gives Joanna a reproving look. Turning toward her fellow rider, Thade lifts a brow. Joanna Thade: ...what? Panning past War, a cloaked and hooded figure is shown sitting cross-legged atop the counter, her hands folded neatly in her lap and the World Visionary Championship gleaming around her waist. Emma Carlisle looks up a moment after Joanna retorts to Katalina's stare and a second before the domina responds. Katalina Star: Must you? Is it that hard to wait for the main event? Joanna Thade: You should be glad I'm getting some of this aggression out now instead of letting it heat up. Unless you like me all hot and heavy, Strife. I'm sure we could all have fun after I bash in two skulls. Katalina Star: You're too kind, dear. Exhaling through her nose, Emma glances between the two before speaking firmly, quietly. Emma Carlisle: That is enough. The women pause and turn her way. Unfolding one of her legs, letting it dangle over the edge of her seat, Emma pushes her hood back and lets her tri-colored hair spill out. Three braids hung in front... one in blue, one in purple, one in black... each one thin and neat. Emma Carlisle: I want both of you calm and focused until the bell rings to start the match tonight. Once that happens... deal as much damage as you like. But remember the goal: one of you shall bring the I4NI Championship home to the Horsewomen. I shall be equally proud no matter who dethrones Heath Williams, so long as it is one of ours. My love, my sister-in-arms... She looks from Joanna to Katalina in turn. Emma Carlisle: ...it is your time. If one of you win, we all win. If you do not then another opportunity will have been wasted, something we can ill afford at this juncture. Especially not when we seek another to ride with us. That comment gets the full attention of her partners, leading to her sliding off the edge of the counter and adjusting the belt around her waist. Emma Carlisle: Once the night is done with, we will decide who makes the cut and present our choices to one another. Then we watch, we wait. Let them prove themselves without awareness of our interest, showing us their best and their worst without that pressure upon them. And when the moment is proper we will see them into our fold. Are there any questions? Neither woman indicates a need to question Death's decree, prompting a nod from the World Visionary Champion. Emma Carlisle: I leave you to your preparations, then. It would seem that Ryan Omega has business with me this evening. Perhaps it is to line up the first to dance with Death in her gold and black. Joanna chuckles darkly at that, pausing only for the kiss Emma gives her in passing. Katalina smirks, arms folded across her considerable chest. Katalina Star: Try not to break them, dear. Emma Carlisle: I make no such promises. Death responds in passing, slipping out the door and letting it slam shut behind her. The scene lingers on Joanna and Katalina resuming their preparations as Axel Reid's words overlap. Axel Reid: Ryan Omega, huh? There was word backstage of him seeking the first challenger for Emma's title at Armed and Dangerous. Perhaps he's already made his choice? Ruby Parvati: It's just like him to keep us in suspense. Bah. I guess we have to wait. But what's this about them recruiting? Are they really looking for someone to take Fury's place? Axel Reid: It seems that way... and there's no shortage of talent on the roster that might be a good fit. But who do they have in mind? Ruby fails to answer, with this scene of ill-fated war transitioning to another location that certainly demands attention... |

Rock Bottom Prices The view shifts to a door backstage. A placard on the wood reads "VoW CEO: Sky Sangue". As the camera rotates slightly to the left, Patrick Jones comes into view. Ruby Parvati: And look who we have here. Axel Reid: It seems urgent business is going to be attended to between Patrick Jones and our CEO Sky Sangue. Ruby Parvati: Thank you for the clarification, Sherlock. The struggling wrestler looks at the door apprehensively before taking a deep breath. Jones knocks and waits for "Come in" to come from the other side of the door then enters. Inside, Sky is sitting at her desk for the evening with some papers in front of her. She gives a cursory look to see who is interrupting her current work. When she sees it is PJ, she immediately opens a drawer and pulls out a manila folder, laying it on the desk. Patrick Jones: I knew that was why you called me in here. Contract, right? Sky Sangue: It is a responsibility I'm cursed with. Sit. She gestures impatiently to the chair across from her. It's obvious that she doesn't care to do this. Jones sits down, Sangue’s annoyance with the situation putting him off a bit. Patrick Jones: Gonna just hit me with the news or do you have some prepared speech for this 'curse' of yours? Sky stares at him contemplatively for a moment... then takes that folder from before, sliding it towards PJ as she speaks in her emotionless tone. Sky Sangue: I have it sorted here. There have been necessary adjustments made. Feel free to look it over. Jones glances down at the unopened folder than back up to Sky before opening it. Axel Reid: A live contract negotiation? This is certainly new... Jones looks down to start reading over it, the quick flitting of his eyes and quick page turning give away that he is only glancing over the document. Patrick must have found the particular clauses that he is looking for because his eyes slow down, carefully reading over this part of the contract. His expression goes from speculative to annoyed then to angry. Patrick Jones: Are you serious? That much of a cut? I've been here from the start AND gave up a lot to work here. Now you're wanting me to give up MORE? Sky frowns and shakes her head. Sky Sangue: I will be honest here, Mr. Jones. Your performance for quite a while has been... less than great. You haven't generated much revenue or interest. And while our fans seem to still enjoy your... presence,, for lack of a better term... you simply aren't making me as much money as others are. It's merely numbers, Patrick; numbers I can't ignore. Jones rubs his hand across his forehead then down his face, covering his mouth while trying to word his next sentence carefully. However, his tone is not tempered. Patrick Jones: Yeah, and those "numbers" are how I live my life. THOSE "numbers" are just too damn low. Look, I don't really care if it eats into your bottom line a bit, but I haven't made that little since my first TEW contract over 7 years ago. I've got a match to get ready for. And you have some numbers to crunch. The clearly pissed off Jones angrily stands and turns towards the door, leaving the contract on the desk. Sky looks less than impressed by Jones’s display of anger. While he storms out, slamming the door behind him, she merely closes the folder and files it back away then resumes her previous work. Axel Reid: Jones just got his salary cut it seems... Ruby Parvati: Soon enough that contract will be terminated, and we won't have to see him wrestle here ever again! Axel Reid: I know there are plenty of other promotions around for Jones to wrestle in, but he wants to be here in VoW. He gives his all each and every time, and even though he comes up short for the majority, his dedication is what is keeping him here. Ruby Parvati: Dedication means nothing when you can't win and can't provide worthwhile numbers, Axel. It's as Sky said. This is a business. Axel Reid: But surely... nevermind. The fact is that in a matter of moments, Jones HAS to win this next match in order to gain back some of that salary. His opponent will be Katie Moicelle, who earlier tonight received an accepted challenge from Seth Iser at Armed and Dangerous. This is going to be a fun one to watch! The scene changes to the graphic of Patrick Jones versus Katie Moicelle once again, and it lingers before we go to another commercial break. |

Patrick Jones vs. Katie Moicelle Jerry Heisenberg: The following match is a singles match, scheduled for one fall! We return from commercial as the soft strums of "Bleeding Me" by Metallica reverberate throughout the arena. The crowd murmur in confusion until the former Zero Gravity Champion, Katie Moicelle walks out, with Claire Daniels piggybacking on her. Then they start cheering their collective heads off, to the point where it almost drowns out the music. Jerry Heisenberg: ...being accompanied to the ring by Claire Daniels... from Crossville, Tennessee... she stands at 5'4 and weighs in tonight at 117lbs. She is the Cumberland Jet... KATIE MOICELLE!!! Said brunette merely walks down to the ring, nowhere near as happy as she was as Zero Gravity Champion. Katie and Claire reach out for high fives, every single one of them reciprocated. Moicelle reaches ringside and lets Daniels off of her back and over towards the time keeper's area before sliding in, popping up, and giving the crowd a quick thumbs up before prepping for the bell to ring. Ruby Parvati: Well... Katie is looking as pumped as she can be, all things considered. Axel Reid: The crowd is still behind her, so no matter the match or situation, she should hold her head high. Ruby Parvati: And WE should hold onto our chairs, because the most interesting man in VoW is about to grace us with his presence! Axel Reid: Sarcasm unnecessary, Ru- "Not Listening" by Papa Roach fills the arena, cutting Axel off. As the words kick in, Jones bursts onto the stage with a surge of energy, much to the delight of the fans. At the top of the ramp, he drops to a knee with a big, over-handed fist pump. Patrick then takes a moment to enjoy the cheers around him and collect his thoughts before hopping to his feet. He jogs down the ramp, talking to and high-fiving fans, trying to get them as pumped up and ready to go as he is. Jones goes straight from the ramp and jumps onto the ring apron before ducking through the second and third rope, spinning a full circle as he looks out into the crowd. Ruby Parvati: Ugh. He's trying far too hard. Axel Reid: He's getting our fans pumped for the match! Nothing wrong with that at all! As PJ turns back around to face Katie, the music fading with the cheers of the fans. He steps forward with an outstretched hand, and with an exhalation, Miss Moicelle goes to accept the handshake. After a few seconds, they then proceed to their own side of the ring as the bell tolls, signalling the start of the match! DING DING DING!!! They face one another, Patrick contemplating his first move as Katie is warily glancing around. Jones, of course, is first to head over! He goes to grab hold of her as a way to lock up, but Moicelle immediately bolts away from him, utilizing her speed! She whirls around behind PJ and kicks him in the back, making him stumble forward. She then makes her way over as Patrick recovers quickly and spins around, immediately arm dragging the oncoming lady! She rolls back up, startled but not too hurt, only to get arm dragged again!!! She's looking a bit frustrated now, pushing herself back up... and Patrick yet again goes to grab hold, this time for a hip toss... but Katie swiftly flips to her feet and sweeps his! With PJ now on his back, we see Moicelle drop a knee on him to keep him down! The crowd isn't sure how to react to this as we see the smaller woman head to the turnbuckle and climb atop. As she turns around, we see PJ dramatically kip up (much to the fans' delight).... aaand Katie flies down with a crossbody! Ruby Parvati: ... poor Patrick. Axel Reid: What a wonderfully executed move, th- and he has a hold of her now. PJ keeps tightened arms around the wriggling Katie as they both fall to the mat. He then moves to stand with the grip still tight, then powers her over with a releasing belly-to-belly suplex! It sends the smaller wrestler flying onto the mat!!! She writhes there as Patrick rolls back up and throws an arm up toward the crowd, gesturing for them to get pumped. This gives Katie enough time to drag herself back up, flinching. She also glances out toward the crowd, gaze trailing down to the nearby Claire. As Jones notices his foe on her feet, he starts heading in her direction. Moicelle throws out a thumbs up toward the girl at ringside, before zeroing in on PJ... and bolting forward! She ducks under a right arm, and as he whirls from momentum, Katie jumps up and grabs his head for a swift cutter! The fans cheer the move as she then goes for the cover! 1 . . . 2-NO!!! Axel Reid: Not yet! Ruby Parvati: These two are actually somewhat interesting for once... We see Katie get back up with a frown, moving back to that turnbuckle again, stretching out her pained back before climbing up. She perches there, watching Patrick as she pumps up the crowd. Soon enough, Jones is getting up, and Moicelle prepares herself... before bounding off for a missile dropkick! But PJ moves fast, dodging away from it and causing his opponent to crash and burn!!! The crowd seems to simultaneously gasp as Patrick even looks her over to make sure she's okay. She pushes up to her hands and knees with a grimace of pain, and PJ waits for her to stand again and face him. As soon as she does... he bursts forward! A roundhouse kick is thrown out and... Katie bends backward away from it, her foe's foot NARROWLY missing her face!!! Axel Reid: That's some matrix sh-bleep!- right there! Ruby Parvati: Wow... she is... flexible. Axel Reid: Oh god please don't tell me you're going lesbian too... As the commentators speak, we see PJ whirl from the momentum and return to his original position right as Katie straightens, favoring her back and looking as if she was wondering why the hell she just did that. Katie sees PJ starting forward again, but she's faster and bolts forward with a low bicycle kick! With the height difference, it hits his upper chest! This knocks the wind out of him and gives her time to continue with a snap kick to his abdomen! Axel Reid: Didn't know this was a Bicycle Race now. Ruby Parvati: It always seem to be a race with this woman. As PJ's doubled over now, Katie backs up toward the ropes behind her, making sure to watch him. Once close enough, she starts to turn around to them... just as Patrick straightens. He immediately lurches forward, tackling her hard into the ropes behind her! They both bounce off, Jones catching his footing as Moicelle falls forward onto her hands and knees. She starts to get back up, but PJ already has a hold of her! He lifts her up in a powerbomb position!!! But as Patrick's body moves forward the slightest bit... Katie counters it into a hurricanrana!!! The momentum causes him to flip over, and the crowd is cheering this series of events, impressed! The Cumberland Jet brushes loose strands of hair from her face, letting out a held in breath and shaking her head. She then gets up and starts to slink over again... but as soon as she's close enough, PJ kips up yet again and in a fluid motion, whips an arm out for a forearm!! Katie practically flips to the mat, and moving up, Patrick takes a second to gain his bearings... obviously still disoriented after the hurricanrana. After a moment, he then goes to pull his stirring opponent to her feet, eventually lifting her up into a gorilla press and...... Axel Reid: GUTBUSTER! Who knew PJ could hit a move like that?! Ruby Parvati: The guy has a lot of free time on his hands. He's most likely practiced everything imaginable. It's both impressive and sad. AKA, Patrick Jones in a nutshell. Axel Reid: ... that's rather rude. Ruby Parvati: It's a compliment! As we return our attention to the ring, we see Patrick moving over to cover Katie. The ref drops down and... 1 . . . 2 . . . 3-NO!!! Ruby Parvati: Wow. I thought he had it there! Axel Reid: If Katie is anything, it's resilient. She'll push forward through the worst situation and odds. As Axel is saying this, we see PJ push himself up and start lifting his opponent to her feet. He puts her into a bear hug position, working that hurt abdomen, but Moicelle starts fighting with elbows! This causes Jones to let go, staggering back slightly, before shaking it off and moving forward for a kick... but his foe is faster, whirling and swiftly hitting a dropkick! This sends PJ backward and with a hand to her stomach and a grimace, the Cumberland Jet gets to her feet. Axel Reid: I think Katie just felt a surge of motivation! It may be dim, but there's a fire in those eyes. Ruby Parvati: ... well she's certainly feeling SOMETHING... Axel Reid: OH!!! AND SO IS PATRICK! Katie just popped him with a european uppercut! He isn't getting any chance to recover! THERE'S ANOTHER! AND A THIRD! Switzerland has never looked so good! Ruby Parvati: Looks like he's down on the mat for now... it's giving Katie enough time to think of a plan. Brushing off the previously bruised abdomen, Moicelle decides on an idea, moves slowly to the nearest turnbuckle and starts climbing it. But with Patrick's resilience and stamina, he's already starting to get back up! As soon as he sees what his foe's about to do, PJ scrambles over and hops up on the ropes behind her!! He grabs hold for a super belly-to-back suplex!! The crowd throws out a mixed reaction despite him landing hard on his back. Axel Reid: Ouch. That had to hurt... both of them! Patrick landed way wrong there! The impact on his back will be felt over this next week for sure! The fatigued and pained Patrick rolls back up and grabs the slowly standing Katie from behind, hitting a sloppy German suplex! Not satisfied with the move, he goes to grab hold of her again, lifting for another.... only for Moicelle to counter into a victory roll! The ref starts the count! 1 . . . 2 . . . 3!!! DING DING DING!!! Jerry Heisenberg: The winner via pinfall... KATIE MOICELLE!!! We get the image of a tired Katie rolling away from the equally fatigued PJ, Moicelle laying on her back and staring at the ceiling as her chest rises and falls heavily. Claire is on the side practically bouncing up and down, and after a moment we cut to the commentator's table. Axel Reid: She's done it! Ruby Parvati: Indeed. I can't say I'm unimpressed. Perhaps this is the start of something new for the Cumberland Jet! Axel Reid: We can only hope! Props to both competitors for a job well done. Up next... Valerie Beasley versus Dazi Miyashita! Stay tuned! |

Relentless From the ringside area we switch to the office of VoW General Manager and Director of Operations Ryan Omega, who seems to be neck deep in paperwork and continuing to ensure that the show continues to flow correctly. With a simple knock from the door, he really doesn't have an opportunity to say "it's open" due to the fact that a young woman walks in and just stands there before he could act. Axel Reid: Look, it's Constance Chapin! Ruby Parvati: What could this be about? Omega smiles as he puts the paperwork onto his desk he was just sifting through. Ryan Omega: Ah! Constance, just the woman I wanted to see! Thanks for stopping by. I wanted to take this opportunity to talk to you before your Tag Team Match later on tonight. First off, everyone at VoW, behind the scenes including myself, want to thank you for putting the Xcel division on your back over the last couple of months. You have put on some of the greatest matches that we have seen from any Xcel Champion and are continuing that path to ensure that each and every person will continue that tradition - until tonight. There is a little chuckle under his breath as he continues. Ryan Omega: I wanted to say all of that and then some. Constance, Sky Sangue, the board and myself have talked. We want to more or less throw this out there because you do deserve it. All of the praise and of course this. Given your tenure as Xcel Champion, we want you... to offically contend for the World Visionary Championship at a later date! From within the arena, we hear mixed reactions from the crowd, as some are opposed to it while others didn’t mind the idea. Axel Reid: Constance Chapin is getting a World Visionary Championship Match?! Ruby Parvati: But what about what Gwendolyn Massey said at the start of the show? Does that not matter to Ryan Omega? Constance’s brow rises up a bit at the news as she crosses her arms with a smirk on her features. Constance Chapin: Talk about a nostalgia trip. Don’t get me wrong I’m certainly... pleased that I’m thought of so highly... but you’ll understand a bit of apprehension. What’s the catch? Surely there’s a catch, or some sort of stipulation? Ryan Omega: Not that I know of, we just wanted to make sure that you got what you earned! Suddenly, another voice interrupts this private discussion. Woman: What!? Is that how we are running things around here Omega? Giving people who have s-bleep- records championship title matches and those who lose theirs a pass? Moving on up is an understatement for this bull! Automatically recognizing the voice, the crowd in the arena erupt as Gwendolyn Massey walks into the frame with a folder in her hand and the Xcel Championship on her shoulder. Ryan places his hand over his face and that smirk which was on Constance’s face is now gone. Constance Chapin: I was wondering if this was an open or closed door meeting. Funny, I thought I’d closed the door. Simple mistakes. Ignoring Constance a moment, Gwendolyn directs her full attention towards Omega. Gwendolyn Massey: So... you were going to undermine me, huh? Constance hasn’t earned anything.. Besides this rematch for this championship title that she is trying to casually let go. That she is showing not only me, but the world, that she doesn’t really care about fighting to get back. Yet, I can see why, when you have people from camp bitch-made over there trying to hand out World Visionary Championship title matches left and right! I wonder who’ll be next? Wait, I think I already know and for shame! Ryan Omega: Now Massey, don’t get me wrong. I understand where you are coming from but this is an opportunity for Constance and-- Gwendolyn Massey: Garbage! Utter trash! Not on fleek. Slang, but you get the point. No. Constance, you are better than some hand out and like I said at the opening of the show, I refuse to be like Emma and have to fight twice as hard just to legitimaze myself because you duck me like Casanova did her. I refuse to have to sit here as Xcel Champion and ponder each and every day, whether or not I knocked some damn sense into you or did I just give you a love tap!? At Armed and Dangerous, you have been invited to my house, just as I came in yours and took what I wanted; I return the favor. You won’t have any excuses then. You won’t be able to tell anyone that you feel like me holding this championship is flawed or hollow. Inside that steel cage, you either can pin me or make me tap... which I doubt. And then if, and I f-bleep hope you can last that long... IF you make it to round three... I am going to knock you out! Gwendolyn looks intense, looking at the Xcel Championship a moment before she continues. Gwendolyn Massey: So sure, you can tuck your tail between your legs and take that bull offer. Or you can cash in on that after you show the world that you aren’t a f-bleep- coward! That you have more balls than Ryan over there does and you’ll step into my mad house and like you boldly said before - make it out unscaved. I’ve thrown down the challenge, I’ve already made the match. Tonight, you and I have to work together... because I hate losing. Come Armed and Dangerous... we can finally put to bed what people have been talking about - which one of us is the best. The crowd create some mixed background noise as Constance contemplates Gwendolyn's words. Constance: Seems someone’s gotten into your head, Gwen. You know, most people would be thrilled to have a title, not seeking ways to potentially undermine their own work. Somehow I doubt my words will convince you; a simple statement of ‘you beat me no I wasn’t holding back’ used to suffice but oh how times have changed. I don’t understand this train of logic you’ve got barrelling towards the station, and you really need to work on your motivational speeches before heading into a tag team match... but if it means you won’t be in my ear all the time, eavesdropping and butting in then fine. Whatever. A re-match. You know you’re not supposed to look a gift horse in the mouth, right? But for both our sakes, don’t try puffing your chest and trying to passively insult me, it does neither of us any favours. Immediately following Constance's response, Gwendolyn forces the folder in her hand to Ryan. He opens it up shortly thereafter and then looks back at Massey with a perplexed look on his features Ryan Omega: How in the hell did you...? Gwendolyn Massey: Tonight. Right here, right now. Prove to me that you aren’t some coward, not some bitch who’ll run away when there is an opportunity that you will get your ass kicked again. Prove to the world, those people who have their eyes glued to this screen in this very moment - hoping, praying that you say no so I can drag your ass and make you sign it! Prove to yourself, that you have what it takes to win back something from someone who got quote - unquote - LUCKY at the last Breakthrough. Because I’ll be damned if you make it sound like you did me a favor by acting like you don’t want this match. Flipping the contract open in Ryan's hands, Gwendolyn reveals that she has already signed it. Constance, with a stoic face, takes the enclosed pen and, with no hesitation, signs the contract and leaves the pen inside to thunderous cheers in the background! Axel Reid: It's official now! Constance has accepted the rematch for the Xcel Championship! Ruby Parvati: I can't wait for Armed and Dangerous! Knowing he can't do anything now, Ryan simply nods, accepting these conditions. With this done, Constance turns to Gwendolyn and stares the champion down. Constance Chapin: Now, if you don’t mind... partner... we do have a match. Constance then walks out of the room, leaving Gwendolyn alone with Ryan. The two share a look before Gwendolyn smiles, walking backwards out of the room as the General Manager stares out after her. Axel Reid: Armed and Dangerous is going to be an unbelievable event! Ruby Parvati: But what about the Tag Team Match tonight? There's going to be a lot of tension involved in that one! As Ruby says this, the scene transitions to the graphic for the Tag Team Match, featuring Constance and Gwendolyn on one side and Tristan Ambrose and Arthur Kingsley on the other. Axel Reid: It is going to be a curious affair with both times having something to prove not only to the masses, but also to themselves. Later tonight we will witness a spectacle, but that's not the only thing we still have in store! This match graphic then changes to the I4NI Championship Match, being promoted as the rightful Main Event as all four competitors are shown. Ruby Parvati: With new Twin City Champions crowned tonight, we could see another new champion occur tonight as well! But Heath Williams has a tough task defending that I4NI Championship! Axel Reid: Tonight is a night for history, Ruby! This is what we do here in Visionaries of Wrestling! As the Main Event graphic fades, we suddenly switch to another location inside Alumni Hall. |

Final Preparation We transition to the locker room area, a different one this time, as we see the newly-rehabilitated and focused Valerie Beasley shadow boxing, minutes before she is to step out onto the stage for her return match. Axel Reid: And there is Valerie Beasley, Ruby, a competitor who made her long-awaited return to VoW at Breakthrough #50. Her knee has fully healed, and she is ready to get back into the hunt for victories and championship gold. Ruby Parvati: The problem is that knee of hers will still be an immediate target. She has to realize that to prevent being put on the shelf again. Her injuries will rack up faster than the amount of years it will take the Baltimore Ravens to win the Super Bowl again! Axel Reid: Did you really have to say that? Suddenly, VoW's much beloved Interviewer and News Reporting Host Zelda Lawson enters the picture. She holds a microphone in her hand while showing a smile on her face. Zelda Lawson: Hi Vallie, how are you? Valerie smiles back while wrapping her arms around Zelda. She pulls back while shaking her hand. Valerie Beasley: I am good Zelly. I am getting ready for my return match against this new chick Dazi. Zelda nods her head slightly while looking around. Suddenly she appears to be confused. Zelda Lawson: Valerie, where is Todd? Valerie shrugs her shoulders while tilting her head to the side. Valerie Beasley: I don't know Zelly. Todd hasn't spoken to me in months but I'm not going to let that get to me. Not right now. Valerie shakes her head while looking at Zelda. Valerie Beasley: But I can't let that bother me as Dazi will find out exactly how much pent up aggression I have inside me. She continues to think she's better than me but Dazi will be just another bitch in my way. Zelda looks back at Valerie with an amused smile. Zelda Lawson: Well, I just wanted to come by and see you. It's been so long since we talked. But I know you have this match coming up so... Valerie smiles back at Zelda. Valerie Beasley: I understand Zelly. But once it's over we can settle down and talk. Unlike Dazi, who will remember one statement over and over again for the rest of the night. Beware the fist. Valerie pats Zelda on the shoulder before walking out of the shot. Axel Reid: Valerie Beasley versus Dazi Miyashita will be an interesting affair, and it is coming up next! As Zelda lingers around the locker room, the scene quickly fades to a commercial break. |

Valerie Beasley vs. Dazi Miyashita As soon as we return from the commercial break, "One Shot" by Lansdowne blares over the speakers as Valerie Beasley comes walking out onto the stage. She is wearing a dark, leather vest over a dark blue sports bra and gray MMA shorts. Her hands are covered with black fingerless gloves while wearing Nike high top tennis shoes on her feet. Jerry Heisenberg: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first... hailing from Seattle, Washington... weighing in at 139lbs... "THE LADY SLAYER" VALERIE BEASLEY!!! Ruby Parvati: Back in the ring for the first time in a while. Ol' Val certainly spends a lot of time on the shelf, doesn't she? I mean it's as I said before the break, that knee of hers is a target, and another injury will surely crush her hopes of returning here again. Axel Reid: When you fight the way she does, injuries are likely. She's all forward, no retreat. But she has the heart to continue and recover, and she wants to return in the best way possible, with a victory over Dazi Miyashita. The crowd is going hog wild for her as she raises one arm into the sky. After more cheers begin to bellow through the audience, Valerie begins to walk down the ramp while punching her left hand into her right hand. As she is doing this, she cracks her neck before hoping up onto the ring apron. She begins to scan the arena before leaping into the ring and standing in the center of it. She lifts her hand into the air one more time as the crowd continues to go ape shit. Valerie proceeds to remove her ring jacket while turning towards the stage. Ruby Parvati: Maybe her time on the injured reserve taught her a little restraint. Then again, considering her opponent tonight, that may be a worse idea. Axel Reid: She looks ready to go, but conspicuous by his absense is her manager Todd Willingham. I wonder if that will have an impact on her performance tonight? Pacing back and forth as "One Shot" dies down, Valerie's eyes are locked onto the stage as "It's All About Me (Rain)" by Amaranthe plays from the PA system. Jerry Heisenberg: And her opponent... being accompanied to the ring by Father Stevenson, hailing from New York City... weighing in at 122lbs... DAZI MIYASHITA!!! Out walks Dazi with Father Stevenson behind her. A smirk crosses her face as she just stands there, glaring at the crowd. They then head to the ring, fans trying to garner her attention. Ruby Parvati: I like the new attitude this girl's showing. Starting to tap into her dark side. Axel Reid: She's determined that this shift in mood and outlook will lead her to success. She's got a tall mountain to climb tonight, though. She nods to a few fans and smirks at them before heading inside the ring with her trademark splits on the apron. She gets in the ring, posing for the crowd as she turns to her opponent, Stevenson pacing around the ring, nodding approvingly. Ruby Parvati: A case of speed versus power combined with nasty attitude. I like it. I can't wait to see them tear each other apart! As Dazi and Valerie stare at one another, the referee knows it's time and signals for the bell. DING! DING! DING! Dazi gets on the attack quickly, lunging before the bell has tolled twice and throwing a pair of backhand chops that get the crowd wooing but light Valerie's chest up. She ducks a roaring elbow but lifts right into a backfist after which Dazi drives her into the corner, throwing a few shoulders before the referee steps in to break things up a little. Valerie has her guard up as Dazi backs off, hands up, palms out. When Valerie moves to step out of the corner, though, Dazi throws another hard chop and talks a little trash on top! Ruby Parvati: Taking Valerie's breath away from the get-go. Dazi certainly isn't waisting time screwing around with her opponent tonight! Valerie doesn't think much of it, getting in Dazi's face, the women going head to head before Dazi pushes Valerie back with a hand across her face. Faintly smiling, Valerie turns and cracks her with a hard left hand! Axel Reid: And Dazi Miyashita just ran through the last of Valerie's patience! The Lady Slayer has been ready to get back in the game for weeks and her aggression is off the charts! Left! Left! Left! And a spinning roundhouse to top it off! The Beasley Shuffle sends Dazi to the mat and quickly rolling outside the ring to break up Valerie's momentum. Father Stevenson is about to check on his charge but backs off when Valerie exits the ring. She bounces Dazi's head off the apron before rolling her back in and going for a lateral press. ONE! Axel Reid: Dazi out at one but Beasley is driving knees into her back now! Ruby Parvati: Afraid to let the woman get up and I don't blame her! Axel Reid: And a running kick to the back of Dazi Miyashita! Valerie with a side press, leg hooked! ONE! TWO! Defiantly kicking out again, Dazi pulls Valerie into an inside cradle when the Lady Slayer reaches for her, trying to sneak out a win! ONE! TWO! Valerie kicks out! Axel Reid: Valerie wasn't ready for Dazi to turn the tables on her! That's just a small taste of the newcomer's speed! The next taste comes with how quickly Dazi wraps Valerie's healed leg into a half-crab! Sitting back deep after dragging Beasley away from the ropes, Dazi wrenches on the previously-injured leg, not disgusing her enjoyment. Valerie immediately begins to scramble for the ropes but Dazi holds on tight, pulling her back out to the middle of the ring after Val comes within inches. Axel Reid: If Dazi can make Valerie tap out here tonight, Ruby, her stock would rise considerably! Ruby Parvati: Got the Lady Slayer right where she wants her, but Valerie is no pushover much as I hate to admit it! Finally clawing her way to the ropes, Valerie grabs the bottom strand and Dazi holds on till almost four, telling the referee 'I have till five!' as she lays in a few stomps to Valerie's leg. Pulling the Lady Slayer back to the center of the ring, Dazi twists up the leg and turns toward a kick from the other one. Once, twice, three times Valerie kicks Dazi until the NYC native backs away, clutching her chest. Getting to her feet, trying to shake out her leg, Valerie ducks another backfist from Dazi and gets in close, hoisting the smaller woman up and over with an exploder suplex! Following up with a belly-to-belly, Dazi is staggering, snapped out of her minor trance when Valerie locks powerful arms around her waist! Ruby Parvati: Dazi isn't gonna let Val get the hat trick! Axel Reid: Smart move, blocking the German! And a roll-up counter from Dazi! ONE! TWO! Shoving Dazi back, Valerie kips up to her feet but lands a bit unsteady on her attacked knee... long enough for Dazi to paste her with a spear! Ruby Parvati: Score one for the new girl! Caught ol' Valerie flat-footed! Axel Reid: It looked like she was aiming low, too, going for the leg! Valerie is stunned, looking outside the ring possibly for Todd Willingham! Ruby Parvati: Guess he finally realized she wasn't worth his time anymore! Pulling a breathless Valerie up by the hair, Miyashita yells something at her before returning the favor from earlier, heaving Beasley over with a belly-to-belly suplex of her own! She holds on, pulling Val up with her and delivers a second suplex! Shaking her head as a devious smile alights on her face, Dazi makes it clear that she isn't done and tries to pull the Lady Slayer up for a third suplex! Ruby Parvati: She hits this one and it's goodnight for Valerie, Axel! Axel Reid: Except Valerie is putting on the brakes! Go-behind... and a release German suplex from Beasley! She dumped Dazi right on the back of her head and shoulders! Folded up on the mat, Dazi is knocked a bit daft from the suplex, giving Valerie time to find the ropes and get back to her feet. Despite the levels of the impacts, both women rise at about the same time though Dazi gets up of her own accord. She rushes Valerie, knocking her leg out from under her and taking the Seattle native to the mat. As before, she looks for that half-crab but Beasley is too close to the ropes, grabbing on to the bottom strand! Frustrated, Dazi tries to yank her opponent's grip and instead finds herself jerked forward, suddenly hung up on the second rope while Valerie gets to her feet on the apron. A running knee sends Dazi back into the ring the hard way and Valerie follows after, putting a foot on Dazi's right arm and signalling for the end! Axel Reid: Valerie may be looking for the Bulletproof here, but Dazi backs off quickly! Ruby Parvati: And the Bitch Destroyer ain't havin' it! She charges... right into a sunset flip bomb from Dazi! The surprise move leads right to a pinning combination with Dazi holding on for all she's worth! ONE! TWO! THREE??? NO! Axel Reid: Both Dazi and Father Stevenson are livid! I thought that was three myself for a moment but the ref was in perfect position and he says two! Ruby Parvati: And I say it's time for new contacts! But Dazi better turn around in a hurry! She turns... right into a boot from Valerie! Still unsteady on her assaulted leg, Valerie cinches Dazi into a double-underhook, slamming her good knee upwards a few times, catching Dazi in the chest! Whatever her plan is, Dazi finds a way out and elevates Valerie up and over the ropes, almost to the floor! Catching herself, albeit barely, on the apron, Valerie ducks a forearm from Dazi and surprises her with a headbutt! Back between the ropes she locks in another double-underhook and hoists Dazi up, driving her down across Beasley's good knee! Axel Reid: Bitch Breaker! Ruby Parvati: No way that's enough! ONE! TWO! THREE??? THREE!!! DING! DING! DING!!! Jerry Heisenberg: The winner of the match... VALERIE BEASLEY!!! Furious, Father Stevenson is yelling at the referee while Dazi, holding her back, is watching as Valerie rolls out of the ring, having her arm raised. She's still favoring the knee but the grin on her face tells the tale: a victorious comeback is just what the doctor ordered! Axel Reid: Hell of a match by both women here, Ruby! Dazi hung with one of the toughest women on the roster and laid in some good shots while showing she's not afraid to get mean! I may not think much of her attitude, but if she keeps up the fight like this she's going to see wins soon! Ruby Parvati: Should've seen one tonight, but credit to Valerie for getting past Dazi's attacks on her leg and pulling out the win. Might not be the same next time if she isn't careful! Dazi rolls out of the ring to join her manager as Valerie heads up the ramp, slapping a few hands on the way. Her celebration resumes as she reaches the stage, just before another scene comes onto the screen for the elated audience to view. |

Forging Destiny The applause and fandom from the Visionaries continues with a camera panning backstage to the ever-present Darius Yates, who is walking with a camera crew into the belly of the beast, hunting down a wrestler that had promised a moment of his time with Darius. Darius Yates: Ladies and gentleman, despite not being booked for tonight’s event we’re about to have a word with the recently returned Valquist. We have not seen or heard a peep from Val since he defeated the Quest For The Case winner, Datura, at the monumental 50th Breakthrough event, with the Infinity star set to break his silence. Turning into the corner, there Val sits, casually with his legs crossed in a black leather jacket, white cotton shirt with two top buttons unhooked, and arms folded, implying Val was calm at an event that he was a mere spectator for. Darius approaches, with Val standing up right and towering over the backstage interviewer. He does not even let the reporter speak first. The Valquist: This moment, this setting, this environment of standing behind a camera, boldly proclaiming your plans and aspirations for the future, it all really makes me uncomfortable. I’m not in the mood or spirit to sell a false notion of why Valquist has returned, because the veil is thin and the answer clear. I’m here to elevate, to have this entire company prosper, and above all else to win the Visionaries World Championship for a second time. It’s obvious to state my intentions, and it’s inevitable, at least in my eyes, that I will reach that summit again. Darius, I hope that I’ve made the point very clear over the last month that this isn’t merely the same Valquist as before; you’re staring into the eyes of an inner-evolution. Darius Yates: There’s no denying Val that since your return, an openly plotted return which saw you eventually gain management’s approval for you to compete again, that your fellow competitors are faced with a focused, and dangerous Valquist. You beat Kincaid in a minute, and with the rapid knee of Enlightenment, downed the Quest For The Case winner, Datura. My question to you Valquist, is where do you go from here? The cameras behind Val are peering down a long and thin tunnel with little activity behind, but for a brief second the camera pans to the left and of a poster of Valquist for the upcoming Armed and Dangerous pay-per-view. Subtly so, the cameras peer back to Val, who is more than aware of what the camera crews were doing. The Valquist: I’m at times the most serious wrestler on this roster, with my in-ring work an indicator of how I operate, and at times I’m eccentric. I like telling the story in a way that few others can do. Sometimes in life a story doesn’t need to be read out to you, or said to directly in front of a camera. True story comes from the message, the indicators, and all the subtext I can throw into a situation. Wrestling gets messy, and complicated. It’s easy to lose focus of the fight and to get angry with this business when it doesn’t go your way, or when your dreams don’t match up to the federation or people running the ship. I’ve tailed that long road, and as World Champion I did my best to lump this company with the best version of itself, but ultimately which chose its darkest version. Valquist pauses for thought. The Valquist: Then you have to take a breath, step back, reflect, and then value what you believe and what you want. People in this line of work unfortunately believe that you have to take what you want, and force the situation, and get doused in thick, disgusting mud doing so. I’m standing here a free man, with no prejudice, no complications, and quite truthfully I’m just here to enjoy the show. I know these more pressured moments will arrive, and when they do it’s in my interest that my opponents know that when they choose to cross The Valquist, they do so with fear in their voice. For Armed and Dangerous the target is there, with my name and legacy on the line, and even though an opponent has not been disclosed, not to me or the public, through my death and eventual rebirth, I am a true believer that my wishes will be rewarded. Kincaid. Datura. They’re rightfully in the past. I’ll be here next week, and this is my open invitation for Ryan Omega to book myself in any match, with any stipulation, for Breakthrough #52, with the added stipulation that if I win, I’d like to choose the match type for any potential match at Armed and Dangerous. Darius Yates: Val, do you believe that Ryan Omega and VoW management will accept your wishes? The Valquist: You stand long enough in the sun, you crisp and you burn. There comes a point to choose if you live or you die, and I’ve spent long enough surrounded by rubble. Sooner or later, you either carve your own path, or you let others dictate your future. The mantra never changes. Full Measures, or nothing. Darius Yates: Thanks you for your time Val, and enjoy the rest of the evening. Val pats Darius on the back as he walks past the camera crew and towards the ringside area. As the camera crew is about to pass, it pans back to the poster of Valquist, but we soon realize that the poster has been torn from the wall and ripped apart. Even Darius is perplexed, having not seen anyone approach from nearby. The camera remains still for a few seconds before fading to a commercial for the upcoming Third Eye Open Trios Tournament. |

Tag Team Match
Gwendolyn Massey and Constance Chapin vs. Tristan Ambrose and Arthur Kingsley Given their recent confrontation and Xcel Championship Match agreement in Ryan Omega's office, the tension between Gwendolyn and Constance is apparent the moment they meet at ringside. It is clear neither want to be in on the same side, yet they need to work together to combat the mentor/student combination of Tristan Ambrose and Arthur Kingsley. The match officially begins with Tristan starting out for his team, wanting to show Arthur how to handle the rigors of technical wrestling. His opponent is Constance, who engages with Tristan in quick grappling style. Both competitors manage to counter hammerlocks, headlocks and arm wringers until Constance trips Tristan to the canvas by his legs and grounds him expertly. This frustrates Tristan who, after escaping an Armbar attempt, retreats to his corner to regroup. He decides not to tag Arthur in, instead re-focusing as Alexander lends Arthur some key advise. Another engagement follows, this time with Tristan getting aggressive and using his knees to bring Constance down. Yet as Tristan prepares for a running boot, Constance kicks his shin, blocking the oncoming attack and bringing Tristan down with her own stiff kicks, including chops. A Snap Suplex puts Tristan down for a two count, at which point Gwendolyn shouts at Constance to be tagged in. Constance approaches the new Xcel Champion with a stern poise, harshly tagging her in before calmly stepping out onto the apron. Gwendolyn, using her MMA style, attempts to keep Tristan grounded with side locks and leg hooks. Ambrose, still remaining perseverant, battles his way out of Massey's grasp and tags in Arthur. The young man is somewhat hesitant to get in, with Gwendolyn inviting him in like some kind of humble host. Kingsley circles Gwendolyn, yet it is clear he still has a lot to work on even before he anticipates an attack. Massey eventually forces Arthur down, hooking his arms and sitting on his back as a form of dominance. This antagonizes Tristan, who tries to enter the ring. The referee blocks him off, yet Gwendolyn attempts to provoke him further. As she does so, Arthur returns to his feet and goes behind Gwendolyn, managing to give her a Leg Hook Back Suplex to Alexander's surprise. A dropkick from Arthur sends Gwendolyn backwards towards her corner, and the Xcel Champion nods her head, somewhat impressed by his fortitude. Kingsley's confidence has escalated, yet Gwendolyn welcomes it, going to the center and engaging with Arthur again. She suplexes him down, despite the size difference, and then delivers a rushing kick for a two count, something Alexander applauds strongly. At this point, Constance extends her hand, drawing Gwendolyn's attention. Both women exchange words before Gwendolyn harshly tags Constance this time around, allowing her partner to deal with Kingsley. Constance suplexes Arthur around as best she can, yet Arthur manages to counter one and flips backwards onto his feet. He nails Constance with a standing Enziguri and then gives her a Reverse Hurracanrana, but this only gets a two count as well. Tristan demands a tag, and Arthur reluctantly tags in his mentor. Tristan enters furiously, booting Constance and giving her a Facebuster for another two count. He also talks trash to Gwendolyn, causing the Xcel Champion to enter the ring until the referee interjects. This allows Tristan to pull Constance towards his corner, stomping her down before giving her a knee drop for another two count. Arthur wants to be tagged back in, but Tristan refuses. As he goes to pick Constance up, she kicks him in the face from the floor, forcing him into his own corner. Without any sort of warning or command, Arthur takes this chance to tag himself in, a tag fully seen by the official. Kingsley springboards from the ropes and drives Constance back down with a clothesline, and suddenly Arthur feels he is in the zone. Tristan tries to go back to Constance, but the referee orders him to the corner, saying he is not the legal man. Arthur gives Constance a scoop slam and heads to the top rope, but his Moonsault does not pay off, with Constance moving away from the impact. Constance tags in Gwendolyn, but Arthur cannot reach Tristan in time before Gwendolyn dives on him with a foot stomp. Gwendolyn boots Tristan off the apron for good measure, preventing any sort of tag before she catches Arthur with the Killing Joke. Afterwards she applies the Joker's Calling, with Arthur fighting for a few seconds before he is forced to tap out. Jerry Heisenberg: The winners of this match... GWENDOLYN MASSEY AND CONSTANCE CHAPIN!!! Following the match, Tristan leaves disgruntled as Alexander drags Arthur away, helping up the ramp. Gwendolyn and Constance stare at each other intently even as winners, with both of them looking at the Xcel Championship as the reason why they need to prove they are the best between them. |
