Kyle Johnson: Hello everyone and welcome to Monday Night WAR! We’ve got another great show for you this week and it looks like we’re not wasting any time in getting things started as Vicious X-Terminator and Jeff Hardy are already giving each other a stare down in the ring.
Tyson Cooper: They both look like they mean business tonight.
Jarrett Firewalker: Yeah, but can Vicious X-Terminator overcome the toughness and speed of Jeff Hardy?
Tyson Cooper: Time to find out!

Vicious X-Terminator vs. Jeff Hardy
Referee Scott Armstrong checks both guys for hidden weapons. After seeing that it's clear, the bells rings and he motions for the superstars to fight. Both guys come forward, Vicious X-Terminator raises his hand into the air, daring Jeff to a test of strength. Jeff accepts putting his hand up to Vicious's. At first Jeff begins to get the upperhand, but it quickly changes and Jeff slowly starts going towards the mat, until he is down to one knee. Seeing it as the perfect opportunity to break the hold, Vicious X throws his foot into the air and kicks the side of Jeff's head. Jeff staggers backwards. Vicious X then jumps into the air and dropkicks Jeff down to the mat.
Jarrett Firewalker: That's it Vicious! Keep it on him! Don't let up!
Tyson Cooper: He isn't letting Jeff have a chance to catch his breath.
Kyle Johnson: Unless Jeff has a chance to get back into this soon, it could be over quickly.
Vicious X comes back picking Jeff up to his feet as Jeff begins to throw a few punches to X's midsection, trying to get some distance between Vicious and himself. Vicious X backs up just enough for Jeff to slide around to the back of him hitting a reverse Twist of Fate. Vicious slaps the mat as he has been outsmarted by Jeff. Vicious gets back to his feet quicky looking across at Jeff. Vicious grabs a hold of the hand of Jeff. Vicious pulls him towards the turnbuckle and nothing happens at first, so X tries once more. This time Jeff begins being pushed with the adrenaline pumping towards the turnbuckle. He crashes and burns against the turnbuckle and turns around. Jeff begins showing a sign of pain holding his chest. Vicious takes off running towards Jeff and at the last second he puts his foot into the air and hits Jeff with a big boot. X holds onto Jeff and drops him to the mat with a bulldog.
Tyson Cooper: Huge power behind that boot to the head of Jeff.
Kyle Johnson: That may have scrambled his brains.
Jarrett Firewalker: As if he hasn't already gotten a head start with that.
With Jeff down on the mat after the devastating big boot, Vicious walks around to the turnbuckle and climbs up onto it. He jumps off for Terminal Velocity, but at the last second Jeff rolls out of the way causing Vicious to crash and burn against the mat! Jeff gets to his feet and walks around to the feet of Vicious and raises the legs of X and drops down hitting a double leg drop to Vicious’s midsection. Jeff goes to the arm of Vicious and goes for the armlock cloverleaf. Vicious begins to fight not letting Jeff get the hold locked in. With Jeff holding to his arm, he lifts Jeff up and slams him back first onto the mat. Jeff lets go of the arm of Vicious. Vicious begins kicking the arms and legs of Jeff, circling around his body continuously kicking.
Kyle Johnson: Vicious X-Terminator working on the leg of Jeff Hardy.
Jarrett Firewalker: Keep on him Vicious! Don't give him a moment to turn the tide!
Tyson Cooper: I am sure Vicious X is now going to target the injury of Jeff.
As if Jeff heard the commentators, he kicks Vicious's leg sweeping it out from under him causing Vicious X to crash to the mat below hard. Vicious slides out of the ring, hopping around for a few seconds holding to his leg. He slides back into the ring limping on the leg a bit. Jeff hits a sitout inverted suplex slam and in doing so, Jeff hits X's leg against the mat causing Vicious X to cry out in pain. Jeff rolls over Vicious and goes for the pin.

2...
Kickout!!
Jeff Hardy lifts up Vicious X to his feet and grabs him to hit the Twist of Fate, but Vicious X-Terminator pushes him away and scoops him up and hits X-Termination. After hitting the move, barely getting the full advantage of it due to his leg, he climbs up onto the turnbuckle a bit slowly. He dives off spinning in midair and hits Terminal Velocity! He quickly follows it up with a cover!

Kyle Johnson: What a fast paced match that was!
Tyson Cooper: I had trouble keeping up.
Jarrett Firewalker: If you had trouble keeping up, then you should find another job and get the hell out of commentating.
Jeremy: Here is your winner… Vicious X-Terminator!

(The camera is scanning over a very dark room that is dimly lit by one light bulb hanging from the ceiling. The bulb looks like it’s about to burn out by the way it is flashing. Underneath the bulb is a male figure dressed in worn out blue jeans and wearing a black hoodie sweater. His head is hanging downward so that we cannot see his face. The hoodie is concealing it along with the darkness of the room. The man starts to speak in a low tone.)
Voice: I have been preparing and it is now time for me to make my arrival in WXW. It is time to right the wrongs that I see happening there. Everyone will feel my impact the second I make my debut. To everyone in WXW, I have but one message…
The tiger is coming… And he is very, very hungry…
(The room goes to pitch black and the camera feed cuts out.)

Demmi Mae vs. Kimberly McKnight (Non-Title Match)
The match starts off with Kimberly catching Demmi off guard by grabbing her and throwing her into the corner turbuckles. Kimberly throws a few punches to Demmi’s face, then grabs her and pulls her to the center of the ring and body slams her to the mat. Demmi gets herself up and stumbles backwards into the corner. Kimberly start charging at her and tries to connect with a high knee to Demmi’s chest, but Demmi sees her coming and moves out of the way causing Kimberly to land full force on her knee into the top turnbuckle.
Kyle Johnson: That might have hurt Kimberly’s knee.
Jarrett Firewalker: I think you’re right. She’s got herself up and she’s limping now.
Kimberly can be seen favoring her right knee once she’s back on her feet. Demmi goes after her and kicks at her right knee and Kimberly falls against the ropes. Demmi takes hold of her arm and gives an arm drag takedown. She applies an arm bar on Kimberly, but she can’t keep it locked in as Kimberly gets back on her feet and is able to give Demmi a couple of sharp knees to the stomach. Kimberly quickly goes to one corner and charges at Demmi and delivers a standing hurricanrana and goes for the pin…
1…
2…
Demmi kicks out at the 2 count.
Tyson Cooper: Demmi didn’t see that one coming.
Kyle Johnson: Kimberly wants to show the champion what she’s made of. She’s not messing around.
Kimberly gets Demmi up and gives her a few forearms to the throat, then whips her into the ropes and gives a flying dropkick that takes Demmi down hard to the mat. Kimberly’s knee is limping a little more after delivering the dropkick but still she keeps at Demmi by stomping away at Demmi’s back. She gets Demmi up and nails her with a DDT and goes for another pin!
1…
2…
The champ gets her shoulder up just in time!
Kyle Johnson: That was a close one.
Jarrett Firewalker: Kimberly is taking control of the match. Demmi doesn’t seem like her usual fighting self tonight.
Kimberly looks frustrated and both women make it to their feet at the same time and Demmi grabs Kimberly and whips her into the ropes and meets her with a head scissors take down. Demmi starts punching away at Kimberly’s face, then gets her up and throws her into the ropes and delivers a running clothesline. Kimberly struggles to get up and uses the ropes to help her. Demmi tries to kick her in the stomach, but Kimberly catches her foot and throws it down, then grabs Demmi and pulls out a snap suplex. Kimberly climbs up onto the turnbuckles and just as Demmi stands up to face her, Kimberly plants her with a McKnight Diving Elbow that sends Demmi to the mat. Kimberly goes for the pin…

Jasmine: The winner of this match… Kimberly McKnight!
Kyle Johnson: An impressive showing for Kimberly here tonight.
Jarrett Firewalker: Now all she has to do is keep this up and she’ll be sending a very bold statement to the other divas.

CM Carter vs. Mark Saints
The first ten minutes of the match, CM Carter took the upper hand and showed a lot of aggression towards Mark Saints. About half way through, it starts to pick up even more as CM Carter nails Saints with a vicious backbreaker right over the knee and goes for the pin, but only gets a 2 count.
Kyle Johnson: CM Carter has been dominating this match.
Tyson Cooper: Mark needs to wake up and change things around.
Saints brings about more effort in the second half of the match with a few powerful moves of his own. He delivers a clothesline to CM Carter, then gives Saints an elbow drop to the mat and goes for the pin, but is unable to get the win as Saints gets his shoulder up at the 2 count.
Jarrett Firewalker: Saints got himself out of that just in time.
Kyle Johnson: He really needs this win tonight because if he is able to pin one half of the tag team champions, management will have no choice but to stand up and take notice.
Carter gets Saints up but before Carter and keep up his momentum, Saints strikes back with some heavy punches to Carter. Saints whips him into the ropes and was going for a spear, but Carter catches him in time, lifts him up and body slams him to the mat. Carter runs up to the top turnbuckle and comes down onto Saints with a Carson Air and get the three count and the win!
Jeremy: Here is your winner… CM Carter!
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
(WXW International Champion Steven McKnight is seen walking with an angry look on his face as he finds Cassandra Caldwell’s office and storms in without even knocking first. He walks right over to Cassandra who is sitting behind her desk trying to grab a bite to eat.)
Steven McKnight: Why did you go and put Andrew Ryder into the number one contender’s match against George Leighton-Ridgewood?!!
Cassandra Caldwell: Because he deserved it. It’s that simple. Everyone earns their opportunities around here and he earned his spot in this match.
Steven McKnight: And if he wins this match, he has a chance to take this title away from me.
(McKnight slaps his hand a couple of times against the gold belt draped over his shoulder.)
Cassandra Caldwell: If you don’t want him to take it away from you, then don’t let him. I’ve noticed your confidence seems to be down a notch lately. I think stepping into a title match with either Andrew or George will be good for you. It’ll help pull you out of whatever rut you’re in. Now if that is all you came here to talk to me about, then you can leave because I’ve got a lot of work to do before next week’s show.
(A disgruntled Steven McKnight turns around and walks out of the office and Cassandra just shakes her head.)
Cassandra Caldwell: Sometimes the biggest superstars are the biggest complainers.
(The cameras return back to ringside for the main event of the evening.)

Main Event
George Leighton-Ridgewood vs. Andrew Ryder
Number One Contender Match for WXW International Championship title shot
Jeremy Tucker is standing in the middle of the ring with a microphone in his hand.
Jeremy: It is time for our main event of the evening!
The crowd starts to cheer loudly.
Jeremy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is to determine the number one contender for the WXW International Championship. First making his way to the ring from Cambridge, England… he weighed in tonight at two-hundred and thirty-seven pounds…”The Prince Regent of Wrestling” George Leighton-Ridgewood!!!
Luigi Boccherini’s Minuet plays over the speakers, eliciting boos from the crowd who clearly aren’t well versed in the field of classical music. George Leighton-Ridgewood, wrestling’s legitimate thoroughbred, emerges from backstage gracefully. He steps down towards the ring purposefully, a winning smile upon his face. As he approaches the apron, he removes a monogrammed napkin from his tights and carefully wipes it down before he finally steps up onto it, brushing his feet before entering the ring. As Leighton-Ridgewood waves politely towards the crowd, he seems unaffected by the chorus of boos. He stretches against the ropes in preparation for the match, but of course not before wiping them down thoroughly with his trusty napkin.
Jeremy: And his opponent from Miami, Florida, he weighed in tonight at two-hundred and fifty pounds…”The Machine” Andrew Ryder!!!
“I Stand Alone” by Godsmack begins as Andrew Ryder comes slowly walking out onto the stage. He leans forward with his arms crossed, as smoke fills the stage in front of him for a few moments. He then kneels down with his arms still crossed in front of him. Andrew then comes sort of jumping up into the air landing on his feet. Andrew raises both arms into the air as pyros begin to shoot out from the stage on each side of him as he begins to get fired up. He walks down the rampway pointing at each side of the stage before running over and high fiving the fans until he gets down to the ring. He climbs the steps onto the apron, then steps over the top rope, running over to the turnbuckle furthest from him climbing onto it. He raises both arms into the air again as pyros once again shoot out.
Kyle Johnson: There seems to be nothing quiet about the way that both Ryder and Leighton-Ridgewood made their entrances to the ring. That is just one facet of this match because the fans might be behind Ryder right now because he’s high fiving them, but once this match is over it might be a different story.
Tyson Cooper: Ah give me a break! Ryder is a former World Champion and Hardcore Champion, so he’ll be the one winning this match tonight.
Jarrett Firewalker: Don’t count out Leighton-Ridgewood just because he might look like a fancy pants and listen to classical music. He for all you know is better than Andrew Ryder and he’ll show that tonight in this match.
Referee Scott Stanford is checking both men for illegal weapons. Both men check out clean. The bell rings and they lock up in the middle of the ring with a collar and elbow tie up as Ryder uses his size and strength advantage to push Leighton-Ridgewood into the turnbuckle as the referee starts the five counts as he demands Ryder get Leighton-Ridgewood out of the turnbuckle. Leighton-Ridgewood lands elbow strikes to Ryder to get himself out of the corner. Ryder is dizzy by that last elbow strike as he looks at Leighton-Ridgewood who bounces off the ropes and is coming at him with a clothesline in hopes of knocking him off his feet, but Ryder catches him in mid-move and delivers an impactful powerslam.
Jarrett Firewalker: That might make George think twice before trying something like that again.
Leighton-Ridgewood begins to stir on the mat as he slowly gets back up to his feet while Ryder is stalking his opponent from behind.
Kyle Johnson: Don’t turn around George! You’re not going to like the view, I promise you that!
Leighton-Ridgewood turns around and walks right into a running big boot. Ryder is heard screaming at Leighton-Ridgewood to get up.
Tyson Cooper: Smart move there by George to roll out of the ring rather than giving Ryder the satisfaction of kicking his head with another big boot.
Ryder follows Leighton-Ridgewood on the outside as both men are now brawling in front of the commentator’s booth as the referee begins counting both men out. Both men run back into the ring before the referee gets to the eight count. Leighton-Ridgewood throws Ryder against the ropes and on the return, he scoop slams him. He goes in for the cover but only gets a two count as Ryder was able to get his left shoulder off the canvas. Leighton-Ridgewood is now reading Ryder a riot act as he is now on the second ropes waiting for Ryder to get back up to his feet. As soon as Ryder gets back to his feet, he is hit by a leg drop.
Tyson Cooper: What a leg drop by Leighton-Ridgewood to Ryder!
Leighton-Ridgewood goes for the cover but only manages to get a long two counts before Ryder kicks out.
Jarrett Firewalker: Ryder still too fresh to get beat by a move like that, but good effort on George’s part.
Ryder now pulling himself up as he snaps into another gear and then looks over at Leighton-Ridgewood getting himself up. Ryder runs against the ropes and then Irish whips him into the other side of the ropes as Leighton-Ridgewood gets whipped back. Ryder puts him into the snap scoop powerslam.
Kyle Johnson: George isn’t moving on the mat. I think he’s hurt.
Ryder now uses the Orton stomp on every ligament of his body in a circle as he then pounds his fists on the mat as he waits for Leighton-Ridgewood to get back on his feet. When Leighton-Ridgewood finally gets to his feet, he turns around and walks right into the AKR Slam!
Ryder goes for the cover and referee Scott Stanford counts the three count!
Tyson Cooper: Ryder gets his hand raised in victory, but you can’t take anything away from Leighton-Ridgewood here tonight.
Jarrett Firewalker: Take anything away? These two men fought tooth and nail against each other in that ring, but it was Ryder’s night tonight and you know that sometime down the road these two are going to go at it one more time.
Jeremy: Here is your winner and new number one contender to the WXW International Championship….Andrew Ryder!!!
Kyle Johnson: That’s all the time we have for tonight folks! See you all next week!
Tyson Cooper: They both look like they mean business tonight.
Jarrett Firewalker: Yeah, but can Vicious X-Terminator overcome the toughness and speed of Jeff Hardy?
Tyson Cooper: Time to find out!

Leighton-Ridgewood is now reading Ryder a riot act as he is now on the second ropes waiting for Ryder to get back up to his feet. As soon as Ryder gets back to his feet, he is hit by a leg drop.
Tyson Cooper: What a leg drop by Leighton-Ridgewood to Ryder!
Leighton-Ridgewood goes for the cover but only manages to get a long two counts before Ryder kicks out.
Jarrett Firewalker: Ryder still too fresh to get beat by a move like that, but good effort on George’s part.
Ryder now pulling himself up as he snaps into another gear and then looks over at Leighton-Ridgewood getting himself up. Ryder runs against the ropes and then Irish whips him into the other side of the ropes as Leighton-Ridgewood gets whipped back. Ryder puts him into the snap scoop powerslam.
Kyle Johnson: George isn’t moving on the mat. I think he’s hurt.
Ryder now uses the Orton stomp on every ligament of his body in a circle as he then pounds his fists on the mat as he waits for Leighton-Ridgewood to get back on his feet. When Leighton-Ridgewood finally gets to his feet, he turns around and walks right into the AKR Slam!
Ryder goes for the cover and referee Scott Stanford counts the three count!
Tyson Cooper: Ryder gets his hand raised in victory, but you can’t take anything away from Leighton-Ridgewood here tonight.
Jarrett Firewalker: Take anything away? These two men fought tooth and nail against each other in that ring, but it was Ryder’s night tonight and you know that sometime down the road these two are going to go at it one more time.
Jeremy: Here is your winner and new number one contender to the WXW International Championship….Andrew Ryder!!!
Kyle Johnson: That’s all the time we have for tonight folks! See you all next week!
