LIVE FROM SMOOTHIE KING CENTER

---

---

NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA

---

We cold open to the outside of the Smoothie King Center; a long line of people are waiting to enter to watch another action-packed Savage! A few cheers come from pockets of the crowd and soon erupt from all around when they see EDWARD power walk towards the arena with Lord Thruston in tow. The crowd begin to chant his name as he gets closer and closer to the arena.

"EDWARD BEST! EDWARD BEST! EDWARD BEST!"

EDWARD stands in front of the long line and nods his head.

"EDWARD IS BEST!"

The crowd cheer in response, EDWARD goes towards the arena doors, Lord Thruston pleading with him to stop. Security are quick to block his path, which clearly annoys the best warrior in the XWF.

Attticus Black sharply exits through the doors and meet EDWARD with a grin; talking him down and pulling him off to the side.

"Edward, my dear boy. I'm sorry but you're not allowed inside, me and Lord Thurston discussed this."

"EDWARD BEST WARRIOR! EDWARD NEEDS TO GO INTO BIG HUT AND PROVE HE BEST!"

"You cannot I'm afraid. Due to your tendency of... Biting off fingers, the only way we could lease the arena was on the condition you weren't allowed inside."

EDWARD gets annoyed and confused, a bad combination.

"SO EDWARD NO FIGHT!?"

He says as he grabs the lapels on Atticus' jacket and lifts him high into the air. Lord Thurston is quick to interject.

"Edward no!"

Lord Thurston retrieve a spray bottle and starts to spritz water onto EDWARD's face. Who spits out and flinches, releasing a panicking Atticus. Black falls to his feet with a panicked groan and dusts himself off.

"Edward, you will get to prove you're the best warrior tonight but in a parking lot brawl."

EDWARD pauses.

"... WHAT PAR-KING LOG?"

Lord Thurston facepalms. Atticus stutters.

"This. This is a parking lot, Edward."

"THEN EDWARD WAIT HERE FOR BIG D!"

EDWARD folds his arms.

"We do have a nice waiting area re-"

"EDWARD WAIT HERE!"

He interrupts. Atticus looks to Lord Thruston who has given up at this point; Atticus throws his hands up and leaves Edward to it. The crowd give a cheer as Atticus walks back inside and the camera focuses on EDWARD as we fade to the intro.



Music plays over the PA from tonight's hometown band. As the camera passes the roaring crowds and pyro fires off from stage and ramp.

Welcome to Savage!

Brian Storm & Olive Pendershore - vs - The Perfect Storm Rain & Snow Option 1: 1 RP, No Word Limit (Per Character) Tag Match

Rain & Snow start in the ring, they were there when we opened the show and the pyro went off but nobody noticed.



Ready To Go by Republica hits the speakers and Olive Pendershore, emerges from the entrance, to be greeted by an alluring, transcendent mixture of lights, smoke and explosions, combined. The crowd gives a generous pop of enthusiasm. However, Olive is unfazed. She simply walks steely-eyed to the ring, barely noticing or engaging anyone or anything, she eventually climbs the steel steps and enters the ring, via stepping through the middle and top ropes. From there, she takes her position within the ring and awaits the start of the match.



Comes in riding a clydesdale with a corncob pipe in his mouth, twirling a lasso high above his head. He rides the horse down the ramp and around the ring, back to the end of the ramp, jumps off, smacks the horse in the ass and the horse runs up the ramp, returning to its place backstage. Then Brian tosses his lasso in a corner and rolls into the ring under the bottom rope, gets up and waits for the fight to start.

The goes to sound, but the ref is interrupted by Rain who askes if this could be a tornado tag match instead. The ref raises an eyebrow, looks to Pendershore and Storm who nod and the ref allows it.

He goes to sound bell once more but is stopped by Rain and Snow again who ask if the match could instead be turned into a cage match! With barbwire along the top and weapons lining the cage walls. The ref simply says no and goes to sound the bell. BUT is interrupted once more! Storm and Pendershore groan as the crowd begin to boo.

Rain and Snow start to say the ref is doing a great job and understand that he has a job to do but ask instead if they could be replaced by another duo of wrestlers, most likely friends of theirs. This is the point where the referee headbutts Rain and stunners Snow to a large pop from the crowd, he signals the bell.

Brian Storm and Olive Pendershore laugh as Rain and Snow bumble around already dazed.

Storm goes under the ring to retrieve his lasso; Olive springs into action with a double clothesline knocking down the pair.

Storm re-enters the ring and places his lasso onto the top turnbuckle. Olive picks up Rain and throws his towards Brian who greets him with a 'howdy' before throwing him back down with a belly to belly suplex!

Olive grabs Snow's hair and...

GREAT EXPECTATIONS!

Slamming Snow hard into the mat, on the other side of the ring Storm with...

SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY!

Foot stomp, followed by an uppercut, then a spinning backfist, that goes into a mule kick. Opponent is on all fours by now. Brian looks to the audience, nodding his head and laughing. He then puts his ass by the opponent's face, releasing the nastiest fart of the day. Which causes the opponent to flop over and fall on his back. Presenting the opportunity for the Yokozuna sitting pin.

The team of Pendershore and Storm pin the others.

Winners - Olive Pendshore & Brian Storm!

A strong debut from Brian Storm and another good match from Pendershore. The crowd pop huge as the two celebrate in the ring, but Storm isn't done!

He grabs his lasso and brings Rain & Snow to the center of the ring before hog-tieing them, slinging them over his shoulder and placing them onto the back of his horse. Strom then slaps the horse's caboose and The Perfect Storm and carried out of the arena at speed hopefully to the nearest glue factory.

The cameras cut from the arena to the local airport. The camera walks through the airport slowly weaving through the crowd, zooming in on peoples faces and catching their expressions. As the camera gets closer to baggage claim a familiar voice carries over the crowd.

Woman- You lost my luggage? Its worth more than this shit hole for an airport !

The camera pans back though, trying to find the source of the voice and zero's in on the lady talking to the baggage claim attendant.

Panning up her body from her shoes we see the Christian Lubitons , the perfectly sculpted calfs, Her black pencil skirt is perfect, the red button up blouse is silk and flows over the top of the skirt and as the camera pans up higher all we see is her perfectly styled hair, not a curl out of place . As the woman turns to face the camera suddenly realizing its there, her face comes into view and she drops her Prada sunglasses to the tip of her nose...….

XWF commentator -- Oh My God …. The Bitch is back ladies and gentlemen.... that's Destiny Graves

The camera cuts back to Destiny's face as a smirk appears . She steps toward the camera and lifts it just a tiny bit to focus on her face .

Destiny - Well well.... I guess my surprise got spoiled... by a nosey little camera man....

Destiny throws the camera out of the mans hand and drops him quickly with a ddt right in the middle of the air port. The crowd runs off screaming in shock and fear . Destiny stands up and adjusts herself then walks over to the camera she knocked to the floor picking it up and focusing it on herself again.

Destiny - You see, I have some unfinished business with the XWF... and as you can tell I'm not in a very good mood.

The camera cuts to black .

The camera fades in on the interior of the arenas parking garage, a long black stretch limousine all but screeching to a stop in the middle of the parking pad as several XWF employees and arena crew members leap out of the way, eyeing the vehicle with disdain. The drivers door opens, a squat man in a chauffeurs cap scrambling the length of the vehicle and around the back before straightening up at the rear passenger door and opening it regally for whoever he’s transporting.

A foot steps out, resting gently on the pavement. The camera zooms in as a second foot follows, and then we pan up slowly past the navy blue of an expensively tailored suit, the pristine white of a freshly laundered linen shirt, and the confident if not smug expression of a former XWF Universal Champion.






It’s…












IT’S…











SCULLY!

You can hear the pop of the fans from the parking garage as Scully is revealed on the X-from, his smile growing even wider at his ovation. The former champion has finally returned to the XWF, and will be taking on Thaddeus Duke later tonight! Scully begins to strut away from the limo and towards the talent locker rooms to prepare. He glances at the camera as he passes.

SCULLY: I’ve come home, XWF. Da end. Scully has spoken…

He winks and keeps moving, the camera focusing on his back as he walks away and eventually disappears into the arena. The fans continue to cheer loudly, and we slowly transition back to the ring for the next match!

EDWARD - vs - BigD Option 1: 1 RP, No Word Limit Parking Lot Brawl

We open to the parking lot, where EDWARD has been waiting half of Savage, almost like a statue. A limo pulls up in front of EDWARD and BigD steps out, these two are ready to throw down, hardcore style. D rushes in toward ED right off the bat, but ED backbody drops D up and over, smashing into the hood of a parked car. ED climbs up onto the car and lifts the Federweight champion to his feet. ED boots D in the gut, before lifting him up and dropping him with a powerbomb, crashing against the windshield and shattering the glass, some of it sticking into D's flesh. ED pulls up D and tosses him off the car, landing face first on the pavement. ED jumps off the hood with an elbow drop, but Big D rolls out of the way!! ED's elbow is bruised and bleeding. ED grabs his elbow in pain, as Big D makes it to his feet.... D grabs a tire iron, and turns around--BIG BOOT FROM EDWARD!!! D goes down in a heap, and EDDIE grabs the iron, hitting D over and over from top to bottom. EDUARDO then lifts D to his feet, before cracking him in the gut with the weapon, as Big D doubles over, holding his stomach. ED then hits a knee to the face of Biggie, who drops to the ground. ED tosses the tire iron away, before heading off toward a steel chair laying on the ground. He turns around to strike the Feder champ, but is met with a fist to the face!! ED drops the chair, and D picks it up...

...STEEL CHAIR SHOT TO THE FACE!!

EDWARD falls to the gravel ground, as Big D begins to stomp away at the former HMW champion. D grabs a brick.... EDWARD slowly rises.... D chucks the brick at ED, but the big bad caveboi leaps out of the way, and the brick smashes a truck windshield!! EDWARD spears D to the ground, and the two roll around trading punches, EDWARD going to bite off D's fingers... D shoves him off, before heading toward a massive semi-truck. Biggie climbs the attached ladder, making his way to the top. As he stands upon the semi, EDWARD looks worried, but pushes himself to climb up as well, to prove he's a much better warrior than Big D... As the two men stand upon the roof, they continue trading fists, lefts and rights and rights and lefts. EDWARD finally begins to become a bit woozy, as Big D winds up for a HUGE right to ED's jaw... but ED drops to his knees just as the punch is about to connect.....and thanks to the momentum, Big D falls right off the semi-truck roof!!! He topples all the way to the cement pavement, busting his head wide open, blood dripping everywhere. EDWARD stands and yells in excitement.... before SOARING from the semi onto Big D with a monstrous splash!!! EDWARD holds his chest in pain from falling so far down onto not just D, but the gravel as well...

Both men are trying to make it to their feet... Big D throws a fist, but ED fires back with a fist of his own. The two men trade off rights and lefts till ED yanks D by his hair and drags him toward a forklift... He loads Biggie onto the forklift, before getting into the machine himself.... he presses all the buttons randomly, as he is a caveman after all. The forklift drops Big D back on the ground, before the forklift presses down upon him. ED steps out of the machine and sits on the forklift which is likewise ontop of Big D. ED waits for the ref to make the 3 count, but Big D manages to pull himself out from under the forklift just in time. ED only gets a 2. Two and a half perhaps, but still not enough to put D away. ED climbs upon another car, this one with a sunroof... Big D slowly makes it over to the car, climbing up onto the roof where EDWARD is awaiting the Federweight champion..... SPINEBUSTER!!! Somehow, someway, Big D manages to take EDDIE off guard, sending the big ol' caveboi SMASHING through the sunroof!! EDWARD is laid out inside the vehicle, glass sticking to every exposed part of his muscular body. Big D grabs a cement brick and drops it into the car, whacking ED in the head....

Big D hops off the car and looks for something.... he finds a large branch, lifting it to the air. EDWARD very slowly rolls out of the car's driver side door, as Big D heads over to the former champ, and D begins thrashing EDWARD with the heavy stick. Strike after strike all over ED's body leaves bumps and bruises everywhere...
Big D lifts the branch up one more time, before bringing it down on EDWARD's nose, busting it open, blood dripping from his nostrils. Big D lifts EDWARD up, before hitting a German suplex...he rises back up, and snaps off another.... before completing the trifecta. Big D goes for the pin, but just as D did earlier, EDWARD manages to escape the pinfall. ED rushes over to a long, elegant limousine, attempting to climb up, but the big man is unable to thanks to all the damage he's suffered, causing him to be out of breath. He drops to his knees, sucking in wind.... Big D grabs a steel wrench, before hoisting ED up... wrench to the face!! The blood is gushing now, and he now has two black eyes. Big D Russian leg sweeps the caveman, bringing him slamming back first to the ground. Big D climbs up on the roof of the limo....... HUUUUGE SPLASH!!!

EDWARD climbs to his feet, and the two men begin trading fists once more, this time Big D getting the advantage. He quickly grabs the chair from before, swings, and hits ED in the head again, blood running down both men's face. ED drops, and D lays the chair over EDWARD's face. Big D climbs back onto the limo roof and LEAPS off.... landing a leg drop on the chair, driving it into EDWARD's bloodied face. Big D goes for the pin....2 count only!! Biggie bangs his fists on the pavement out of frustration. He then stands up and begins arguing with the ref.... D turns around TACKLE FROM EDWARD!!! ED brings D colliding with the referee, and both of them go down. EDWARD looks confused... he pins the ref! ... His manager, Lord Thurston, yells at his project to pin the wrestler, not the referee.... which EDWARD does. The ref slowly shakes off the cobwebs, and counts the

ED falls to his knees, grabbing his nether regions.... Big D is out of it, and leans against the side of a car to regain his composure. Thurston helps raise EDWARD to his feet.... ED rushes toward his opponent, but just in the nick of time, Biggie opens the car door, smashing it into ED's face as he charges in.... Blood splatters against the door from the impact of EDWARD's already bloody face.... Big D then reaches into the car, which happens to be his own. He pulls out his Federweight title, and EDWARD is mesmerized by the 'shinny'....While ED is hypnotized by the gold, D uses this distraction to SLAM the strap into EDWARD's face, bringing him back down to the ground. Big D pulls ED up one last time, tossing him ontop of D's vehicle..... Biggie climbs up onto the beautiful silver Lexus, before...

We open backstage in a quiet corner of the arena, XWF Television Champion Donovan Blackwater standing in solitude. He’s dressed in a tailored black suit, highly polished leather shoes treading lightly on the dirty concrete floors of the arenas bowels. He whispers inaudibly to himself and rolls his shoulders a few times, then stretches his head to the side until a ripple of sickening cracks from his neck echo from the walls and ceiling.

He’s in the moment, preparing himself for possibly the greatest challenge of his career; a title defense against Lux at the booking whims of Atticus Black. He’s been the underdog before. Hell, it was the last pay per view that people bet the house on Thaddeus Duke… and where did that get them? A win over Lux changes things for the Brother Blackwater, though. A win over Lux make him impossible to count out ever again.

STEVE SAYORS: Donovan! I’ve been looking everywhere for you, buddy! I’m hoping to get a few words with you before the main event tonight! Is now a good time?!

Donovan clenches his jaw as his focus is broken, wheeling slowly on his heel to look at the approaching backstage interviewer, Steve Sayors. Donovan takes several deep breaths, nostrils flaring, as he silently stares at the intruder.

STEVE SAYORS: How do you think you stack up with Lux? I haven’t been back long, but I’ve seen enough to know Lux is scary! Do you feel honoured knowing that a Universal title contender is eyeing you, or is it nerve wracking to see such a step up from your previous opponents?

Donovan says nothing. He eyes Steve from head to toe, mentally turning over his options. He could answer, he could walk away, he could pummel the insulting reporter and resume his business… Steve seems to realize by Blackwaters expression that he’s crossed a line and stammers as he tries to backtrack desperately.

STEVE SAYORS: Well, I mean… I’m sorry… that didn’t come out right. Your previous challengers are all fantastic, I just meant to say that a win over Lux can catapult you to levels you haven’t seen yet in your career, and that’s got to be exciting right? Or nervewracking? Or something… ?

Donovan holds up a hand, silencing the obnoxiously rambling Sayors and allowing his eyes to drift off screen and lock on to something else. The interview is now an afterthought. He smiles softly, intrigued for the first time since Steve found him. He takes a slow step away from Sayors, and the camera spins quickly to reveal what he’s looking at.

Who he’s looking at.
















Lux.

Donovan continues to smile, and Lux offers a sly and cocky grin in return. The two superstars stare each other down, an extremely long and tense silence filling the shadow filled maintenance hall as Steve Sayors swallows nervously.

Lux takes a step backward, then another. Donovan watches as his next challenger disappears into the darkness, the glint never leaving his eyes as he watches.

Donovan turns to Steve Sayors.

He winks.

The cameras fade out.

Thaddeus Duke - vs - Scully Option 3: 3 RPs, 3000 Word Limit Scaffold Match The match takes place on a scaffold platform above the ring Competitors must throw their opponent off the platform to win

Silence.


Darkness.



GUITAR! White light bursts through the darkness pointing straight up from the ring posts illuminating the vertical Illuminatus Iron Cross banners (white field, blue cross,) hanging from the lighting rigging above each corner of the ring. More guitar, the screen flashes to behind the curtain where Thaddeus is shown wearing a white Dolly Waters, Revolution Prime hoodie with the hood up, rocking back and forth in anticipation and excitement. The Xtreme title slung over his shoulder

Back to the mostly darkened arena. 'OKAY,' the arena lights pop on, strobing in blue and white colored lighting with Thaddeus Duke, hood up, standing on stage not moving.

GUITAR WINDS UP, CHORUS: The crowd cheers as he throws off the hood and walks to either side of the stage, pointing out toward the fans. He backpedals toward center stage and then heads toward the ring. Once he can reach fans, he slaps hands old school style, going from side to side. He runs up the steps and pauses, looking at his admirers before hopping over the top rope into the ring. He makes his way to each corner, giving the Bret Hart "I love you" pose with the Xtreme title held high. Once all four corner are done, he hops back to the outside and takes selfies with fans at ringside. Mostly kids and teens.



Suddenly the arena lights go red and "Angels Fall" by Breaking Benjamin blares out of the P.A System. After about 40 seconds The Scull Meister finally steps out on to stage, his XWF Universal Championship over his shoulder. He looks around at the XWF Galaxy in attendence and smirks. The chorus of boos fill the arena in disapproval of Skull, he shrugs it off and slowly walks down the ramp, ignoring them. He stops at the bottom of the ramp and smirks once again at the crowd. He then raises his XWF Universal Championship in the air as the boos become louder. He walks up the steps and walks along the ring apron. He turns to look at the fans whilst slowly moving both hands from his face to the floor, gesturing "A look at me" type taunt, before raising the title once again. Scully enters through the middle rope and into the ring. Skull walks over to the far turn buckle and climbs to the top. He holds his hands in the air, making sure the title is there for everyone to see and then does his "Look at me" taunt. The Scully Meister spins himself round and chills on the turnbuckle. His music fades out.


Once both men are in the ring; they lock eyes for a breif moment before taking the perilous jouney upwards.


Imagine if you can 40 feet above the ring scaffolding that intercrosses the ring. One big huge platform. Now, this platform is the focal point for the next match on Savage. Between Thaddeus Duke and the returning Scully.


Both wrestlers have been told the rules. They have to push their opponent off of the platform 40 feet above the ring to win the match.


They both start climbing the structure on opposite sides. So does the referee. He has to keep an eye on things.


Finally after a few minutes of climbing all 3 men reached the crossroads platform.


The referee calls both Duke and Scully to meet at the middle, the crossroads. He asks if they are both ready. They both look down and they both take a step back from the edge. The referee calls for the bell which they could barely hear from that far up.


Suddenly Thaddeus runs at Scully and tackles him, the force of the fall makes the platform rock a tiny bit. Luckily they both on their knees.


Duke gets up smiling. He grabs Scully by the hair and pulls him towardß the edge of the scaffolding. This match could be over very quickly.


Suddenly Scully jumps to his feet and elbows Duke in his guts and then backwards kicks Duke. Duke stumbles backwards and Scully starts trying to balance to protect from falling off of the edge.


Scully takes a step or two away from the edge and then without warning boots Duke in the face and Duke falls backwards. Scully quickly tries to jump on him but Duke reacts instantly by pushing Scully off of him quickly. Duke quickly gets up feeling his jaw.


Scully also quickly gets back to his feet not wanting to be stuck on his back and suddenly Duke hits Scully with a flying clothesline!


The force of both wrestling falling down again rocks the platform. Duke gets back to his feet first as some reason Scully starts crawling away from Duke.


Duke starts acting like he's hunting Scully. Scully gets to the other end of the platform and looks down at the ring below. He hears Duke begin to laugh. He's just behind him.


Scully closes his eyes and suddenly much to Dukes shock and amazement does a backward flip and then leaps forward to then make himself into a ball, and on the way past a shocked Duke, he quickly gets up and pushes him to the edge which Duke starts to panic and once again starts a balancing act. He looks back at Scully who is grinning from ear to ear.


His smile doesn't last as Duke regains his balance. He doesn't even attempt to take a look down.




Suddenly without hesitation Duke runs at a shocked Scully and once again takes him down with a tackle. They both begin rolling all over the crossroad platform.




Scully takes control of the situation by forcing Duke to come to a stop, letting go of him, standing up, grabbing Duke again and as the structure is swaying executes a DDT.



With the force of the DDT, there is a large creaking sound from the platform. Scully gets to his feet and unsurely steadies himself. He grabs Duke by the hair and drags him to the edge of the platform.



Duke fights back!


He knocks Scully away for only a brief moment!




Duke charges Scully, but Scully is quick to counter!





THE SCULLINTAOR!





Scully is on the creaking platform with Duke out; he picks Duke up once more and....






Throws him 40ft below!!!

Winner - Scully!

An amazing return from Scully!


After the match has ended, the lights fade out. The crowd roars, unsure of what this could mean. On the X-Tron, we see one thing.


After a moment, we hear the opening to Rossini's The Thieving Magpie.

"Wait, I thought Robbie Bourbon was finished with the XWF!"

The lights come back up, and we see Scully standing in the ring at the ready, looking around like mad as Robbie Bourbon's old entrance music plays. Suddenly, the music stops, and the arena goes dark again, the image of the Black Hand gone from the X-Tron.

As the lights come back up, hanging from the middle of the scaffold is a Robbie Bourbon mask. Scully looks around again as the crowd is in a tizzy. He snatches the mask and looks at it for a moment before ripping it to shreds.

James Raven sits alone in an empty office backstage, an exhausted look on his face as he thumbs through a packet of papers that’ve been stapled together. He lifts his thumb and forefinger to his face and rubs his eyes in frustration, a desktop phone pinned between his ear and shoulder.

JAMES RAVEN: Yeah, I understand what you’re saying, but I’m asking how long it’s going to take to push it through. Is the deal going to be wrapped up in the next week or two, or do I have an extended wait ahead of me?

We don’t hear the response on the other end of the line, but it seems like Raven is pleasantly surprised and perks up slightly in his chair.

JAMES RAVEN: Oh, that’s not bad at all then! It sounds like we’re in the home stretch here.

Suddenly someone steps into the office doorway, short in stature but with a big presence that takes over the small room. It’s the newly returned Roxy Nova! James smiles at her and holds up a line finger to ask for a moment of her patience as he wraps up.

JAMES RAVEN: Lock it down, then. Look I’ve got to call you back. Someone just walked in.

James hangs up the phone and motions for Roxy to come in and take a seat across from him at the desk. She obliges.

ROXY NOVA: Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt. I was just walking around trying to meet some of the other roster members and crew, and figured I’d come see a familiar face.

JAMES RAVEN: Of course. You’ll ease yourself in with the new crowd, I’m sure. It’s been, what? 7 years? Longer? How’s it feel to be back?

She’s quiet for a moment, staring off into space as she considers her answer carefully.

ROXY NOVA: It’s surreal. I never expected to be back in the XWF, and now that I’m here I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner. It feels right, ya know? Sure it’ll take some time to shake off the ring rust and find a niche for myself, but that doesn’t seem daunting. It seems like for once, maybe I’ll enjoy the process.

James smiles from ear to ear, happy to hear those words from his longtime friend.

JAMES RAVEN: Good. Then we’ll make sure you’re ready; get some work in together over the next couple of weeks, get you ringside at a few of Centurions matches to get used to the speed of competition and the crowd… and then we unleash you, and watch you wreck everyone.

Roxy smiles sadistically and nods her head.

ROXY NOVA: Good. I’m pumped. I’m also starving. Want to check out catering with me?

James nods and deftly swipes the contract from the otherwise empty desktop to a side drawer.

JAMES RAVEN: Sure, just give me a minute or two to finish up here, and I’ll meet up with you.

Roxy nods in agreement and stands up from the desk, winking at Raven before making her way patiently into the hall and leaving James to himself. He sighs deeply, suddenly looking distraught.

JAMES RAVEN: Fuck…

He doesn’t need to say any more than that, it’s already clear to viewers he’s torn between the stable that built him and the stable that’s had his back and kept him on the map. Prophecy and Apex, two of the most familial groups in the XWF’s history, and he knows that at some point he’ll be forced to turn his back on one and pledge his loyalty and allegiance to the other.

He’s not ready to choose.

He’s incapable of choosing.

There’s a soft knock at the office door, and Raven looks up to see Drew Archyle standing before him with a moderately serious expression. Did he hear any of the conversation with Roxy?

JAMES RAVEN: Hey man, what’s up?

Drew is quiet for a long moment.

DREW ARCHYLE: Hey buddy. We should probably chat, shouldn’t we?

James looks defeated. He sighs and nods his head slowly as Drew enters the office and shuts the door behind him.

Fade out.

Dolly Waters - vs - Vita Valenteen Option 1: 1 RP, No Word Limit Singles

The opening riffs of “Highly Strung” begin to play as the crowd jumps to their feet in excitement. VV runs out onto the stage and and postures for the adorning crowd. She makes her way down the ramp, slapping the outreaches hands of her fans along the way. VV the heads up the steps and runs along the outside apron. She grabs the top rope with both hands and springboards into the ring where she tucks and rolls before settling on a couched, almost ninja like pose. VV hops up and celebrates with the fans for a moment, pumping them up for the upcoming match. Finally, she settles into her corner and uses the ropes to loosen up as she waits for the match to begin.



As soon her theme hits on the X-Tron, she simply runs down to the ring and slides in. She gets on her feet and poses for the crowd for a bit.

As soon the bell rung, Vita raises her hand up in the air, signaling for a test of strength. The both lock hands, and Vita manages to overpower her, but Dolly managed to get on her feet and Headbutts Vita on the nose.

Then the fans see's Culty coming down the ring, "clapping" and "cheering" them on as he stands on the Entrance way. He gets a mic from the back, and decides to speak to them.

"Ladies, oh ladies... no wonder why the Bombshell division went extinct... now you got a barely 18 year old girl holding the Hart Title... and another one who JUST recently lost the title to Mastermind. I mean, hey, i am just some old guy "hating" on the women's movement of XWF."

The fans started to chant "YOU ISSA LOSER!" and "GET OUT OF HERE!" and Culty looks bemused by the fans. Then he speaks again.

"All I got to say is this, keep doing the best job you girls can do here tonight. Also if I were you... i'd watch my own back!"

The lights comes back on normal, and suddenly a man in mask and trench is in the ring with a baseball bat. Dolly turns and gets strikes with the bat in the gut. As she kneels on the mat, Vita tries to takes the bat off his hand. But she ended up getting striked in the head.

TELEVISION TITLE Lux - vs - Donovan Blackwater© Option 3: 3 RPs, 3000 Word Limit 15 Minute Time Limit Ladder Match

The lights dim and all the screens in the arena become a wall of green code. As the opening scream of “We Appreciate Power” is heard, the code starts to slowly twist and bend into the outline of a woman's face, interspersed with shots of Lux in action ruining people's shit with brutal kicks and strikes. Lux appears at the top of the ramp, looking determined and ignoring the crowd. He runs into the ring, sliding under the bottom rope and rolling to his feet like a little goddamn ninja. The lights all turn back on and he's mean mugging his opponent or staring up the ramp and waiting for them.



All three brothers emerge, with the Television champion Donovan Blackwater, in the lead. Pausing briefly, the brothers look around at the exuberant crowd, with immense entertainment. Sharing an amused glance to one another as the fans scream. From there they walk in unison to the ring, occasionally separating to approach a random fan that's losing their mind. Clearly, enjoying the effect they have on the crowd, the Brothers Blackwater continue onward. Once they reach the ring, two of the brothers hold up the bottom rope, as the intended participant for the fight slides into the ring. That brother then takes his place in the squared circle and awaits his opponent, while basking in the cheers from the audience.

The two stand in opposite corners; Blackwater hands the TV championship to the ref who attaches it to the hook and the belt is pulled high above the ring.

RING ANNOUNCER: "Ladies and Gentleman, the following is a ladder match for the Television Championship!"

The crowd pop.

RA: "Introducing first, the challenger from 'A world on fire' weighing 162 pounds! LLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUXXX!!!"

Lux raises an arm to the roar of the crowd and shadow boxes in his corner.

RA: "And finally, hailing from Brooklyn, New York. weighing 182 pounds! He is YOUR TELEVISION CHAMPION! Donovan "Force-Wave" BLACKWATTTERRRRR!!!"

Donovan raises his arms in the air with a smug smile, receiving a mix of boos and cheers from the crowd.

The ref sounds the bell as the timer appears on the X-Tron.

15:00

Lux and Donovan begin to circle each other around the ring.

Donovan is the first to lunge in for an attack but is sidestepped by Lux who counters with a quick kick to the thigh, knocking Donovan. Lux spins around nailing Blackwater with a nasty spinning heel kick; Donovan wobbles back but stays on his feet. Lux hits the ropes and returns to Blackwater in a sprint leaping into the air for a high knee but Blackwater stops Lux mid-air and drops him to the canvas with a huge sit-out powerbomb!


The wind leaves Lux's lungs.

He grabs Lux by the head and the young challenger hammers a few defensive shots but the much stronger Blackwater gains the advantage and lifts him up, throwing him back first into the ring post.


Donovan picks up Lux and bends his body almost in half around the ring post. Lux writhes and cries out before Donovan lets go. He grabs the challenger by the head and tosses him into the announce table, making it go ajar.

Good thing it's empty... For now.

Lux crashes against the table. Donovan is obviously enraged he goes under the ring and he pulls out a ladder, a stop sign which he throws into the ring, a barbed-wire wrapped baseball bat! Lux is moving slowly as Donovan sizes up the bat and swings it into Lux's gut! Tearing the white tank top as blood oozes from Lux's stomach. Blackwater walks back to the apron and rests the bat on the mat.


Donovan stands the ladder up and pulls Lux away from the table before sending him careening towards it once more; the table wobbles as Lux falls on top of it. Donovan places a hand on the rung of the ladder and begins to climb! He reaches the top to a roar of the crowd!

HE LEAPS!

DIVING ELBOW!!!

Onto the table!

Lux just rolling off in the nick of time. Blackwater clutches his rubs, kicking his feet in the rubble of the table! Lux gives an angry kick to the side of Donovan's head and places a foot on his face as he walks over Donovan towards the ladder. Lux collapses the ladder and slides it into the ring. He picks it up once more, looking behind him to see Blackwater getting to his feet ever so slowly.

Lux then rests the ladder on the top rope; he runs the ropes once again! He sprints up the ladder and jumps forth towards Blackwater nailing him with a terrific Dropsault!!!

The crowd go fucking nuts!

Both crash hard on the outside; Lux landing hard on his stomach as his tank top starts to turn red.

11:21

Lux is the first to get to his feet; he looks to Blackwater who seems out of it. Lux takes his chances, he runs into the ring and grabs the ladder; picking it up and centring it underneath the title. Lux quickly scales the ladder and reaches the top!

His fingers mere centimetres away from his prize!

But the ladder wobbles violently!

The ladder is pushed with a huge wave of force, bowling over the referee along with the ladder!

On the opposite side, he meets Lux kneeling on the outside. Blackwater swings the bat into Lux's back and he howls in pain! The barb wire tears flesh and rips apart Lux's tank top.

Blackwater goes to strike again but Lux raises to his feet with scary speed and throat punch! Blackwater clutches his neck and drops the bat!

Lux begins an onslaught on the outside!

Winner and NEW TELEVISION CHAMPION: LUX!

Almost as soon as the bell stops ringing, signalling the end of this hellacious ladder match, the action picks up again! Donovan and Lux start getting to their feet, and suddenly Lux is forced to the mat! The crowd looks confused for a moment but based on the malicious smile on Donovan's face, it soon becomes clear that he's using his powers to crush Lux down into the canvas! The ring itself starts to slowly bend inward, and Lux cries out in pain!

Suddenly, a figure darts out from the back....24/7 briefcase holder VITA VALENTEEN! Vita slides into the ring with no wasted motion. Donovan turns to her, but he's a fraction of a second too slow! Vita pops to her feet and plants a big time dropkick right in Blackwater's kisser! Donovan falls through the ropes and to the outside, hitting the floor.

Vita goes to Lux, gently picking him up off the canvas. Lux looks to be in pain, but she manages to sling an arm around Vita's shoulders for support. Blackwater, now on the outside, gets to his feet. He smirks at both occupants of the ring, but seems to decide his fun is over and he starts walking backwards up the ramp.

Vita walks Lux to the corner, where she has a seat. They seem to share a moment, with Lux whispering her thanks and Vita nodding and smiling. Vita then raises Lux's hand, getting a pop from the crowd! Taking in the sight, Vita soon notices that an enterprising fan has hastily put together a sign.

"Vita *Heart* Corey!"

She blushes as soon as she sees it, and, hoping Lux or Corey won't notice it, moves to help Lux from the ring as the show draws to a close.
