The opening credits and video package roll as Monday Night Madness hits the air to its theme song, “Long Way to the Top” by AC/DC plays throughout the arena.





Pyro explodes throughout the Pyramid as the camera pans the roaring crowd in Memphis. The pyro stops as the cameras continue to give live shots of the crowd before settling in on the Chad Lewis and Xavier Reigns at ringside.


CHAD LEWIS: “Hello and welcome Madness fans to the premier wrestling show on Monday nights! I am Chad Lewis and alongside me as always, my broadcast partner, Xavier Reigns!

"X, The Senator gets his shot at superstardom here tonight!"

XAVIER REIGNS: "He does indeed and Samuels has been nothing short of impressive since his arrival. Neonero may have his hands full here tonight!"

CHAD LEWIS: "He may very well indeed! That will be later on, though. Right now, Jeff Hardy goes one on one with Tommy Wish. J.D., over to you."

Tommy Wish - vs - "The Charismatic Enigma" Jeff Hardy Xtreme Rules Match

"Fat Lip" by Sum 41 plays.


JASON DANIELS: "The opening contest, is an Xtreme Rule Match set for one fall. Introducing first, coming down the aisle from Maryland, weighing in at 2 hundred 1 pounds.... TOMMY... WISH!!!"


CHAD LEWIS: "Tommy Wish made his return just last week."

XAVIER REIGNS: "And no one remembered."

CHAD LEWIS: "I remembered."

XAVIER REIGNS: "Like I said, no one remembered."


"Bullet With Butterfly Wings" by Smashing Pumpkins plays.


JASON DANIELS: "His opponent, now residing in Raleigh, North Carolina, weighing 2 hundred 15 pounds... He is the charismatic enigma... JEEEEEFFFF HARRRRRDYYYYYYY!"


CHAD LEWIS: "The former European Champion on his way to the ring for this opening contest. It'll be interesting to see how Heyman responds to the assault from last week."

XAVIER REIGNS: "In my opinion, Hardy should be fired."

CHAD LEWIS: "Fired? For what?"

XAVIER REIGNS: "He brutally assaulted an XWF executive. That should be grounds for termination."

CHAD LEWIS: "The bell has rang and this match is under way."


"Hold on a minute!"


CHAD LEWIS: "Was that Paul Heyman?"

XAVIER REIGNS: "It sounded like it."


Paul Heyman emerges from backstage. Both Tommy Wish and Jeff Hardy stare at Heyman.


PAUL HEYMAN: "All week long I racked my brain and went over contracts. Trying to figure out a way around Neonero's good game, no rematch clause in his contract. All in an effort to keep things fair on Monday Night Madness.

"It's no secret I'm in no way shape or form a fan of Neonero or Jeff Hardy. In no way do I want either man representing Monday nights as its European Champion. As fate would have it, they seem like my only options as the present time.

"Months ago, I put Jeff in a position to defeat Neonero and claim the title. Little did I know at the time, Jeff was still on drugs. I was lead to believe he was clean. I came to find out otherwise and made it my personal mission to dethrone Hardy as champion.

"Fast forward a little bit and Neonero re-enters the picture. Threatens me physically into ordering a title match for Gauntlet City. Not only did I do it, but he was successful. I then stripped Neonero of the title citing that his contract was voided upon his dismissal back in February.

"Unbeknownst to me, as I was wheeling and dealing, like the business man I am, Neonero had signed a brand new contract. One that included a no rematch clause.

"At the conclusion of last weeks main event, Jeff Hardy proceeded to lay into me. Then threatened to do it again and again until I found a way to usurp Neoneros contract clause."


Jeff Hardy is now listening very intently now.


PAUL HEYMAN: "Jeff, I did it. I found a way to get out of this. I found a video I'd like to share with the world. This was taken this afternoon right here in the arena. Take a look at this..."


Heyman points his hand up towards the X-Tron. In the video, is a large public restroom with the camera focused across the floor toward the row of 4 urinals. Jeff Hardy walks in and relieves himself in the furthest urinal to the right, against the wall. After several seconds, Hardy leaves the restroom.

Seconds later, Paul Heyman himself exits a bathroom stall and reveals in his hand a pair of latex gloves. Wearing the gloves, he reaches into the first urinal and pulls out a specimen cup and tosses the empty cup in the garbage. He does the same to the second and third urinals and then comes to the final one. The urinal just used by Hardy. He lifts out the specimen cup and its overflowing with Hardys urine. Quickly, he twists the lid on tight and places the urine sample in a bag.

The video on the X-Tron fades out. Hardy looks down at the floor, not knowing what to say, or do for that matter. Heyman, now with his trademark evil smile pulls a manila envelope from his back pocket.


PAUL HEYMAN: "I almost feel like Maury Povich right now! Except richer. And better looking."


Heyman tears open the envelope.


PAUL HEYMAN: "In my hand right here, lays my way out of this mess. These results prove 99.9% positive that Jeff Hardy is guilty of using a variety of drugs. I won't list them, but I will tell you this.

"As of this moment, Jeff Hardy. You are suspended indefinitely! The winner of this match, as a result of a forfeit. Tommy Wish!"

WINNER: Tommy Wish

Wish celebrates as Hardy exits the ring. Hardy charges up the aisle and seemingly out of nowhere are riot cops coming from the sides of the aisle. They mercilessly beat Hardy down and handcuff him. They begin to drag him away as Madness fades to a commercial.

---

CHAD LEWIS: "Madness fans, welcome back! During the break, Jeff Hardy was escorted from the building."

XAVIER REIGNS: "Rightfully so."

CHAD LEWIS: "I'd like to see that report! Heymans been out to get Hardy for a long time now!"

XAVIER REIGNS: "Be that as it may, Hardy is out of here for the time being!"

CHAD LEWIS: "J.D., take it away to the next match."


JASON DANIELS: "The following contest is set for one fall. It is for Crimson Cobras #1 Contendership!"


"Radioactive" by Insane Dragons begins to play.


JASON DANIELS: "Introducing the challenger, from Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at 1 hundred 90 pounds, BLAAAAAAAAZE!"


CHAD LEWIS: "Blaze looked impressive here last week in winning that battle royal."

XAVIER REIGNS: "Crimson Cobra better be on his toes here tonight!"

CHAD LEWIS: "I think every competitor needs to be on his toes."


"The Sound of Truth" by As I Lay Dying plays.


JASON DANIELS: "His opponent, from Aurora, Colorado, weighing in at 1 hundred 85 pounds, CRRRRIMSONNNN COOOOOOBRAAAAA!"

Crimson Cobras #1 Contendership Crimson Cobra - vs - Blaze Standard Rules

Blaze and Crimson Cobra are face to face ready to battle it out to see who will become or possibly stay the number one contender for the European Championship! Crimson Cobra looks angrily at the fresh up-start Blaze who is ready to take that title shot out from under Cobra.

Blaze follows his name setting off a trail towards Cobra speeding and connecting with a clothesline! Cobra hits the mat popping right back up. He sees Blaze running towards the top rope.

Blaze, showing his acrobatics and athleticism, leaps to the top rope no hands used in the process. Atop the ropes Blaze jumps and looks to hit Crimson Cobra with a cross body attack.














BUT Crimson Cobra is able to see the man flying in air long enough to duck the attack and make Blaze crash to the mat. A body splash hitting the mat, Blaze is down for only a second before getting back up to a ring only filled with him and the referee. Cobra is nowhere in sight!


Blaze looks around and is caught off guard as Crimson Cobra slides out from the security under the ring apron and hops into the ring rolling up Blaze and even placing his own feet on the ropes to secure the position!

3!

WINNER: Crimson Cobra - Still #1 Contender

CHAD LEWIS: "Cobra stole it!"

XAVIER REIGNS: "That one was over before it even started!"

CHAD LEWIS: "Blaze is livid!"

XAVIER REIGNS: "He should be! That snake cheated and won! Normally, I like that kind of thing, but the way he did it was just............... an injustice."

CHAD LEWIS: "Fans, Madness rolls on LIVE! Right after this!"

---

CHAD LEWIS: "We're back here on Madness! We're set to head back to the ring!"


JASON DANIELS: "The following contest is set for one fall."


"Another Way to Die" by Alicia Keys & Jake White plays.


JASON DANIELS: "Introducing first, from Columbus, Ohio weighing in at 2 hundred 45 pounds... SHOCKERRRR!"


CHAD LEWIS: "Shocker, I think is still upset at Kid-X for eliminating him last week."

XAVIER REIGNS: "You know what's missing from the Madness roster? Not entirely, but something I've noticed from a lot of the young bucks here."

CHAD LEWIS: "What's that?"

XAVIER REIGNS: "They have no mean streak. Sure, they do in the ring. I'm talking after and before the match. They let everything go! Word of advice. Kick ass and take names. If someone wrongs you, don't wait for a match. Go take it!"

CHAD LEWIS: "I actually agree with you. Do I have a fever?"


"I'm Back" by Jim Johnston of WWE plays.


JASON DANIELS: "His opponent. From Edmund, Oklahoma, weighing 2 hundred 75 pounds. KIIIIDDDD X!"


CHAD LEWIS: "Kid-X on his way to the ring. He looked good last week but took exception to Shocker eliminating him from the battle royal."

XAVIER REIGNS: "In a big way, too! He took it upon himself to eliminate Shocker even though he wasn't in the match!"

Kid-X - vs - Shocker Standard Rules

Shocker is red in the face making it obvious he hasn’t gotten over the fact that Kid-X took away his shot at facing Crimson Cobra for the number one contender spot. X is jumping around in the ring waiting for his opponent to get in with him and start the, should be, barn burner!

Shocker slides in, the ref calling for the bell to start the match is caught off guard and Shocker immediately begins lathering X up with punches and kicks. Shocker is wasting no time at all making sure that he gets his well-deserved revenge. A punch to the head sends Kids torso backwards then a kick to the midsection sends him reeling back inwards. Shocker isn’t even trying to make this a match any more it has become a pure brawl and the ref has to step in to separate the two men.


CHAD LEWIS: "Shocker needs to be careful here."

XAVIER REIGNS: "No sense in getting yourself disqualified!"


Kid-X takes the recovery time and extends it a little bit exiting the ring through the ropes and dropping down to his feet on the floor. He holds his ribs, one of the kicks got him good and he can still feel it painfully on his lower two right ribs.

X shakes his head as if to shake the pain out of his body and now he says it’s his turn rushing into the ring and right at Shocker. X hits a solid punch sending Shocker staggering back to the corner. Shocker rests his arms for a second they got quite heavy after throwing punch-after-punch onto his opponent. X sees the opportunity and strikes, he runs over to the corner and wraps his arms around Shocker. X backs up out of the corner of the ring and more towards the middle, he tightens his grip and lifts!









A BIG belly-to-belly suplex lands and sends Shocker more than half way across the ring and almost out of it!

Shocker’s arm and head are both dangling off the ring, as X is standing up and taking the booing from the crowd personally. This gives Shocker time to recover he pulls his arm back up into the ring and gets onto his elbows, he is able to take a second to think about the situation then catches X off guard, much like X caught Shocker in the battle royal, with a roll up pin!


1...














2...


BUT NO! Already a kick out from Kid-X and the two are back on their feet, Shocker is giving his all with heavy haymaker punches being sent to X’s head and Kid-X is only taking the punches and sending them right back.

The two men turning this match into a street brawl once again making the referee get in between and break up the “fight”.

Shocker pushes the ref away and sends one more punch to X that knocks him off of his feet! Kid-X stands back to his feet and Shocker grabs him lifting him over his own shoulders….


CHAD LEWIS: "What's Shocker going to do here!?"

XAVIER REIGNS: "Probably try to hurt his opponent."




A GTS! Shocker’s signature move!





















Is dodged by the cunning Kid-X and he is able to slip off of Shocker’s shoulders and brings him down with a backslide pin attempt.


1...















2...














THR...

NOPE! Shocker does a backwards roll right off of Kid-X’s back and stands to his feet, he runs at the now standing X and takes him out with a heavy clothesline.

Shocker now back in control of the match picks up Kid-X by his long hair in a violent manner. Shocker drives X’s head under his own arm and lifts X’s arm over his head. Shocker grabs onto X’s pants and lifts him into the air!

Shocker begins to fall back and smashes X to the mat with a suplex. X rolls to his side in order to hold his back where it is in the most pain. Shocker laughs and delivers a stiff kick to X’s back making him curse at the top of his lungs, surprising some of the fans in attendance. The kick only seemed to help X back up to his feet though and now the two are locking up, X seems to be the one in control holding on tightly to Shocker’s head and Shocker can only wrap his arms around the body of X.

Shocker pushes X off and sends him flying at the ropes, X comes running back and Shocker drops to the mat, X jumps over him avoiding the trip, Shocker back to his feet sees X coming right back at him after bouncing off the opposite side rope. Shocker leaps into the air jumping over X and avoiding the shoulder take down!

X is still running bouncing off the rope a third time and it seems as if Shocker is out of counters as X comes ramming in with the X SHOCK!

Kid-X just hit his signature move on the man he screwed out of the #1 contender match and drops for the pin!

SHOCKER IS TOO RESILIENT! A kick out sends Kid-X flying off and unsure what to do next!

Kid-X stands back and measures up Shocker who struggles to get to his feet. Shocker is up. Kid-X charges...














CLOTHESLINE by Kid-X!














DUCKED!


Shocker ducks the clothesline. Kid-X turns and Shocker immediately hoists him up on his shoulders.

Kid-X is struggling...














Fighting...














Elbowing...














F-5!!

Shocker tosses Kid-X face first with an F-5! Shocker hooks the leg!

WINNER: Shocker

CHAD LEWIS: "Shocker picks up the hard earned victory here tonight!"

XAVIER REIGNS: "He exacted his sought after revenge on Kid-X!"


"Voices" by Rev Theory blasts over the arena sound system. An unknown man with a skate board in hand runs down the ramp. He then slides in the ring and drops the skate board and tosses Shocker out of the ring. He then turns to Kid-X. Kid-X notices him and starts to run at this unknown man. Kid-X tries to clothesline him but the man ducks under and plants Kid-X with an RKO. Kid-X is lying on the ground grabbing his head. The man walks over and picks up the skate board. Kid-X is struggling to get to his feet. The man walks over to Kid-X...














CRACK!


The man shatters the skateboard over Kids head. Kid-X falls to the ground. The man then slides out of the ring and grabs a folded up steal chair. He slides back in the ring. He walks over and helps Kid-X to his feet. The man then places the steal chair right on his atom apple. Then he takes Kid-X and slams the chair to the mat. Kid-X falls to the ground immediately grabbing his throat. This man has a sick smirk on his face. Almost like he satisfied with the job he has done. Then the man takes the mic from Jason Daniels. He slowly brings the mic to his lips as he begins to speak.


????: For all of you out there that has no idea who I am the names Justin Vipe.

"I am here to cause havoc and suffering. What I did to this wannabe wrestler is just the beginning of my destruction. I did this to this man for no other reason than because I can. For all you fans that are mad for this well frankly I don’t care. If you want to try and stop me cause your fate will be the same lying on the ground.

"Oh Kid-X you have just been bit by the Vipe-anator."


Justin Vipe then throws the mic into Kid-X face. He then drops down and rolls out of the ring. He heads to the back as the fans are booing him.


Madness fades to commercial.

Back from commercial and the cameras are in the office of Paul Heyman. Just entering his office is Representative Fairchild and Senator Samuels.


PAUL HEYMAN: “Please. Take a seat.”


They do as asked and Fairchild speaks first.


REPRESENTATIVE FAIRCHILD: “Mr. Heyman, why are we having this meeting so close to match time? It’s a bit late for any planning.”

SENATOR: “Ann, let us handle this. Sit there and look pretty.”

PAUL HEYMAN: “You need to know something, Senator.”

SENATOR: “I’m all ears, Mr. Heyman.”

PAUL HEYMAN: “I didn’t grant this title match because Ms. Fairchild showed me her.... assets. I granted this title match because I think you can beat him.”

SENATOR: “Not only can I. I will.”

PAUL HEYMAN: “Excellent. That’s what I wanted to hear. Let me tell you something though, that will allow me to show you just how serious I am...

“If you don’t beat him, I’ll never give you another shot at him. I don’t reward failure.”

SENATOR: “I beg your pardon, Mr. Heyman. I’m the Senator from Texas. I fail... at nothing.”

PAUL HEYMAN: “I can see this. The fact is though, we need to come up with something. Anything, really. To ensure your victory here tonight.”

SENATOR: “Hell, I’ve already guaranteed a victory. That’s what I do. I win.”

PAUL HEYMAN: “Yes, well. I’ve had plans before with both Jeff Hardy and Neonero that have ultimately been shot to shit. That can’t happen tonight.”

SENATOR: “Make sure you get out there. If things start going wrong, use your.... executive powers... to influence things.”

PAUL HEYMAN: “I’m hesitant to do that. I’ve never directly interfered in a match during my tenure.”

SENATOR: “That’s been your mistake. You not using your power to your advantage.”

PAUL HEYMAN: “You might just be right.”

SENATOR: “Mr. Heyman, I’m a Republican. We’re always right!”

PAUL HEYMAN: “Let me get these cameras out of here, so we can chat openly.”


Heyman signals and the cameras start exiting the office. They last thing anyone can hear from inside the office...


PAUL HEYMAN: “One thing is certain, Senator. Neonero can not be allowed to leave Memphis with the European Championship.”


Madness fades to commercial.

CHAD LEWIS: "Welcome back, Madness fans! Just before the break Senator Samuels was inside the office of Paul Heyman! I don’t like what transpired during that meeting! J.D., over to you."


JASON DANIELS: "The following contest, is a first blood match!"


"Calm Like a Bomb" by Rage Against the Machine plays.


JASON DANIELS: "Introducing first, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, weighing in at 1 hundred 89 pounds... JAYYYY SEEEE STYLES!"


CHAD LEWIS: "JC Styles getting set for action here tonight! Can he break his losing streak?"

XAVIER REIGNS: "Well, breaking a losing streak against anyone, let alone someone like Ann Thraxx is one tough task!"


"Malaria" by Sangura & Dead plays.


JASON DANIELS: "His opponent... she is the deevil... ANNN THRAAAAXXX!"

JC Styles - vs - "The Deevil" Ann Thraxx First Blood

Steel chairs seated behind the announcer tables. The steel steps at either side of the ring. The barricade around the arena keeping the fans out. All of these things can and will be used by the two that are in the ring now, Ann Thraxx and JC Styles! The first blood match has just began and the two come flying out of their corners!

Ann Thraxx is quickly caught in a head lock by the strong JC Styles. Ann is much too quick and witty as she drops to her knees and delivers a punishing low blow! Styles matches her dropping to his knees only he is covering his nuts while she is holding her sides laughing at the man. Ann Thraxx gets up and walks over to the downed JC Styles.

Ann pulls his head back and looks into his eyes. She stands back up and kicks him right in the face! A powerful kick delivered and sent right into the forehead of Styles. Ann is already starting to look for the head shots that will be stopping the match from first blood!

Ann gets out of the ring and is followed by the referee who is begging and pleading with her to get back into the ring. Ann walks around the announcer’s table and already has a steel chair in her hands! She slams it together scaring off the referee back into the ring and she turns.















STYLES!

Is standing right there and he sends a high kick Anns way making the chair connect with her head. The chair falls over her face forcing the referee to remove it to check for blood. The ref takes a poke in the eyes from Ann Thraxx thinking it was JC Styles. Either way it works for her as she makes her way back to her hands and knees. JC has the chair in his hands now and he looks left and right then tosses the chair aside. He grabs Anns hair as she was trying to crawl for the ring.

JC pulls her up and slams her right back down to the unforgiving concrete on the outside of the ring! The snap suplex seems to have been very effective, only not to just one but both of our participants. Styles holds his right elbow after it had bounced off the concrete along with Ann’s body.

The two are both down Styles holding his arm resting his back on the steel steps and Ann Thraxx still lying flat on the outside of the ring. Styles is able to get to his feet still babying the elbow, he stomps on Ann’s body as he makes his way over her and to the announcer tables. JC pulls off the protective layer of the table and pulls Ann up to her feet. Ann is groggy after the big fall and can’t just shake this one off. JC takes Ann’s head and pulls it back then sends it flying towards the announce table!

A huge thud can be heard all the way around the arena as Thraxx’s head bounces off the table, JC goes for another!















AND AGAIN the thud is heard along with gasps from the audience. JC smiles and waves to his fans.


CHAD LEWIS: "Not a good idea!"

XAVIER REIGNS: "Not at all! You can't give Ann Thraxx time to recover!"


Ann grabs JC’s head and bounces it off of the announcer’s table as hard as she possibly can and sends him flying backwards to the ground. The referee comes out of the ring thinking he saw red spill but he only saw the pale skin of JC Styles turn a bright red after slapping against the table.

Ann gives JC a nice kick to the side making him roll over to his back and hold his arms at his stomach and side. Ann notices the opening and folds the chair up, she lifts is high above her own head and brings it down...














CRACK!









JC Styles moved his head and Ann Thraxx only hits concrete! Her hands sting and she has to throw the chair to the side, making it bounce off the barricade, in an attempt to stop the sting. She is wincing in pain and looking at her hands showing it hadn’t stopped after tossing the object aside. JC on the move yet again in this back and forth competition to make the other bleed! JC rolls Ann Thraxx into the ring and tosses the chair in along with them.

JC Styles picks up Ann and puts her in place for one of his trademarks, a pile driver. Ann isn’t having it and she wiggles out of the hold squirming back down to the mat. She stands in the ring and sees the chair that she grabs. She lifts it over her head and…….















SMACK!


A clean chair shot connects with JC Styles and he goes down! But wait… Why is Ann Thraxx down as well?! On the X-Tron we see a replay and JC Styles was able to get his boot right into Ann Thraxx’s face at the last second and from what it looked like blood was splattering out of one of the two contestant’s face!

JC Styles is down with his head dug into his arm and the other arm sprawled out, while at the same time Ann Thraxx has flew out of the ring and the chair once again fell perfectly to cover her face! Who will the referee look at first?!














The referee moves toward Ann Thraxx...









He removes the chair to reveal...














Ann Thraxx. No blood.














He moves toward Styles...














Again, no blood.

JC Styles is up first. He rolls out of the ring and find a barbed wire wrapped baseball bat under the ring. He slides back in and takes a batters stance.









Ann begins to get to her feet...














He swings...














She ducks...














She kicks him in the midsection and he drops the bat.














DEVIL LOCK DDT!










She lands the move driving Styles face first into the barbed wire bat.









The referee looks at Styles and notices the blood pouring from his face and signals for the bell.

WINNER: "The Deevil" Ann Thraxx

CHAD LEWIS: "Ann Thraxx picks up another victory here!"

XAVIER REIGNS: "JC Styles continues his downward spiral."


The lights begin to flicker at the arena, and the fans look around, startled. The X-Tron flickers like a television set trying to pick up signal, and mumbled words saying:

“I am a god” can be heard.

“Ohhh, Annie! Miss me?”

A figure in a preachers outfit appears on the screen, inside the Church of Punk. Luke Gallows and Serena can be seen standing idly by, watching in horror. Serena is crying, and Luke Gallows is using buckets to prepare something.

“So, you think you can forget about me and have these little one-off matches, don’t you Annie? Well, let me tell your diluted mind right now, you can refute god, but god finds a way into your mind and soul one way or another, and if he can’t he condemns you to hell. I’m not ready to condemn you yet.” Punk, now showing himself, grins.

“Instead, I’ve taken my own accords. Next weeks match has a stipulation added to it. If you lose, you become my disciple. If I lose, I leave you alone. One other thing though, I want you to see exactly what I’m going to do to you when you lose this next week.”

Luke drags a tub towards Punk, and Punk motions Serena over to him. The camera pans above the tub, revealing a tub of blood. “Prepared to be baptized.” He lays her down in it, and pushes her head underneath as the screen cuts out. Only screams are heard as the lights come back on.


CHAD LEWIS: "A dire warning for Ann Thraxx!"

XAVIER REIGNS: "CM Punk is a deranged lunatic!"

CHAD LEWIS: "Fans, when we come back, you're main event will get under way. Keep it right here!"

XAVIER REIGNS: "As a champion, you have to take every challenge seriously."

MAIN EVENT XWF European Championship "The Cyaneyed Assassin" Neonero - vs - "The Senator" John Samuels Standard Rules

The verbal battle has finally come to a close between these two extremely quick witted and intelligent… or not so intelligent individuals. It is time for the physical warfare to commence. The European Championship is on the line once again putting Neonero to the ultimate test. He stands at the top of the steel steps with his championship over his shoulder looking smugly across the ring at his championship-less opponent. The Senator and his personal assistant are talking but Johns eyes never leave the “Cyaneyed Assassin”. Representative Fairchild is told by the referee to exit the ring and she follows the instructions being replaced in the ring by the champion.

Neonero is so confident that he has this match already in the bag, he hasn’t even removed the title from his shoulder before he has already planned out twenty different scenarios in which he finds himself pinning “The Senator” in all of them. John Samuels has the same thought process, without Nero in the ring yet he is able to plan multiple attacks but unsure which to choose as his mind is having him reign the victor.

The shoulder is exposed and the gold championship title is taken off by the referee and handed down out of the other side of the ring to the timekeeper. He places the prized title on the table with the bell then rings it as ordered to by the referee.

The match is just getting underway and the tension is already thicker than any other contest tonight! Neither man wanting to give up a step they meet in the center of the squared circle. John pulls his arm back to throw the first punch but the agile Nero not only dodges the punch but uses the momentum to put John in a head lock. John, strong as an ox, is able to run to the ropes with Neonero still latched on. As soon as he bounced he sent Nero flying towards the other ropes breaking the head lock.

John lifts his oversized foot high in the air and looks to take the head clean off of Nero...










Again the quickness of the Cyaneyed Assassin is too much and John misses the big boot. Neonero still running bounces off the ropes on the opposite side of the ring and head back towards The Senator. He grabs the head of John Samuels and begins to twist for the running neckbreaker….










Nero stands tall holding his opponents head next to his shoulder!



But John Samuels is too powerful to fall over at the attempted move and Nero falls to his back looking foolish. He is able to quickly regain the position on his feet while John is feeding into the booing from the crowd. John is getting really into it and forgetting about the opponent who he hasn’t even began to attack. John raises his arms, getting ridiculed by Fairchild to get his head back into the match before Nero attacks and getting an overwhelming force of boos throughout the entire arena. Neonero rubs his neck quickly shaking off the slight pain of falling to the mat and sets his sights once more on to The Senator.

Neonero makes his way to the middle of the ring with The Senator still not noticing him there and Neo is able to snatch up both of the man’s arms and put him in a double chicken wing position getting ready for the DDT. Neo locks his hands together making sure there is no escape for the Senator this time and he begins to lift….










The Senator’s head is high in the air!




But with his head held high and his back straight there is no man that would be able to break this posture, The Senator bends over on his own and lifts Nero over his back sending him crashing to the mat instead.

Neonero is confused as to how that even happened but again he is up quickly, ready to fight back and break down this ox of a man one limb at a time if he must! The Senator grabs Neo by the arm and whips him into the corner running right after him. John jumps into the air and is headed straight for Nero!

A force of two hundred, seventy five pounds coming straight down into the corner!










No one was home and Samuels smashed his face into the corner with no Neonero there to cushion his fall. Samuels has finally been affected by something in this match and Neonero intends to stay on the offense though he enjoyed playing defense to The Senator’s offence. Now Nero is the one running and headed straight for Senator. Nero jumps and locks in a DDT position on John’s neck, he begins to swirl around in a half circle and twists John’s body hitting a technically precise tornado DDT!

John is sitting on the mat, getting up immediately after having the consciousness knocked back into him and he has a little bit of anger that is showing after Nero was able to hit a move. He wanted a flawless victory, but nonetheless he was ready to destroy the “slanted eyed man” either way. Nero was ready for the quick rebuttal though and was already on the top rope and has leaped into the air looking for a cross body…











That he lands hitting John and making an X with their bodies. Neonero goes for the quick pin!


1...














2...



John kicks out and standing tall to meet Neonero with another attack. The Senator, like a steamroller, crushes Neonero with a shoulder block. Nero flies to his back and rolls out of what could have been a bad position, but here comes John again, AND AGAIN a shoulder block sends Nero to the other side of the ring! But the champion is NOT going to be giving up any time soon and he stands right back up ready to dodge the shoulder block this time. But this time John walks to meet him in the center of the ring and the two stare each other down neither man breaking, neither man backing down. Nero pulls out early and hits John with a kick to the gut bending him over then another follow up kick sending him to his knees.

It is still early in this match up but it looks like Neonero has some sort of plan with John on his knees...










THUMBS DOWN IN THE PIT!

Nero goes for the shinning wizard!





The kick MISSES! But it is not all bad as training the move countless times has helped and Nero locks in the triangle choke! The Senator’s veins start to pop out of his head faster than an angry bald mans would. Neonero holds his shin with his hand as he pushes the hip of Samuels and tries to get out to more of an angle.

Running out of air The Senator reaches into panic mode, he begins shaking his head and flailing his arms as he doesn’t know what else to do. Representative Fairchild notices that her partner is in trouble and she looks down quickly undoing her top button, enough to get every man in the arena drooling. But that isn’t enough for the referee, she jumps up onto the ring apron and the referee is forced over. Her trickery doesn’t work this time and the ref forces her down allowing time for The Senator to illegally hit Neonero in the groin multiple times forcing him to break the triangle grip that was about to put The Senator to sleep.


CHAD LEWIS: "That's illegal! C'mon ref!"

XAVIER REIGNS: "He hit him in the leg!"


The ref turns and Senator is back to his feet. Neonero is nursing his groin and the ref asks Senator if he hit him in the groin.


CHAD LEWIS: "Oh, like he's going to say 'yeah, ref, I did.'"

XAVIER REIGNS: "He didn't do it. I said he hit Nero in the leg!"


Senator goes back to work on Nero who is still down on the canvas. Nero, on all fours, receives a big leg drop from Senator which causes him to crash face first to the mat. Senator with another leg drop. He rolls Nero over and hooks the leg.
