Diva of the Week

Visual Advisory Seen Only By Viewers At Home Before The Show Begins To Air:
The following program contains mature subject matter and may not be suitable for some viewers.
The show opens and Steven McKnight is in the ring with a microphone in his hand as he is wearing the new Fire & Brimstone t-shirt and some dark blue jeans and black wrestling boots.
Kyle Johnson: Welcome to Monday Night WAR everyone! We’ve got Steven McKnight out here ready to do some talking, so let’s listen to what he has to say.
Jarrett Firewalker: Maybe we’re about to get some answers about what happened between him and The Enforcer last week.
Breeze Jones: He doesn’t look happy at all.
(Steven looks serious and the crowd is quiet to hear what he has to say.)
Steven McKnight: Enforcer… It seems that after a long time, the two of us are going to face off against one another tonight. It would be remiss if I didn't get this off of my chest before I face you in this ring.
(Steven paces around the ring for a bit before continuing to speak.)
Steven McKnight: This match we’re going into is not just a regular match for me because I’m not sure if the WXW Universe knows this or remembers it, but if it wasn't for you Enforcer, then I would have never lost the WXW World Heavyweight Championship to Robert Saints in the first place, and I would still be the reigning WXW World Heavyweight Champion. YOU took that from me! And from that day forward, I said I would make it my mission to make sure that you never ever got another shot at the WXW World Heavyweight Championship as long as I’m around to stop you.
(Steven begins pacing around the ring like a wild animal, then he stands in the middle of the ring and starts to speak again.)
Steven McKnight: This match is going to be like a collision course for the two of us, and I’m going to destroy you just like you did to my dreams and my reign as WXW World Heavyweight Champion. My reign was stopped cold in its tracks on its 50th day because of you sticking your nose in my business, and that allowed Robert Saints to pick up the pieces left of me after you destroyed me in. I hope you enjoyed doing that because you now have to deal with my wrath and fury! I’ve been holding this all in for a very long time. Well… no more of holding in my hunger for REVENGE against you!
(The expression on Steven’s face is one of rage and anger.)
Steven McKnight: You better bring your best against me Enforcer… because I’m not just going to wrestle you tonight. I’m out to maim you and leave you laying in a pool of your own blood like you did to me two years ago! But unlike you who let me survive that onslaught, I’m not going to be so forgiving because I’m going to see your bloody body laying there, and I’m going to pick you up one more time and hit the McKnight’s Verdict and finish off your career… once and for all! You will cease to exist once I’m done with you, and I’m not even going to need Angellus, my tag team partner from Fire and Brimstone, in order to destroy you. You thought I was a monster of a man back then when I was the reigning WXW World Heavyweight Champion? You haven’t seen nothing yet! Back then, you had to do whatever it took to remove me from the top of the ladder here in World Xtreme Wrestling. But in reality, all you did was turn me loose. I can do whatever I please and you’re going to find that out first hand when I break your face! Not because I have to… but because I CAN!
(Steven looks into the camera with a very serious, determined facial expression.)
Steven McKnight: Be afraid Enforcer… Be very afraid...
(The camera fades out on Steven’s face and the show goes to a commercial break.)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
(The show returns and TJ Codair is seen sitting at a table in the CTHD locker room which is better known as the “The CTHD Clubhouse” with all the members of the CTHD.)
TJ Codair: Back in the day, when I started going on 20 years ago, we used to have a thing about respect. You had a World Champion, of course being highly respected for his in-ring skills, even though he may not have been liked for what he had to say. He held himself up high with dignity. We lack that here in WXW. We lack the dignity and the pride. The champion is only about himself here, and I can't allow that to go on much further.
(TJ takes a sip of his water.)
TJ Codair: You see, your group, Change Through Hardcore Domination… right idea, however there is no need for the Hardcore Domination, if you know what I mean. Because that is exactly how Robert Saint's has held onto his title as long as he has. Through manipulation, strategy, and sheer force. It has nothing to do with his in-ring talent, and back when I started, that is what it was all about. Then of course you have this group here that goes by the name of Extreme Justice. They go after what they want and do it with extreme prejudice. Of course, their actions have also caused this federation to become so chaotic, it ain’t even funny. Basically what I’m trying to impress upon you is that you need order to pull this federation out of the grips of the chaos it has been in. That is what I mean when I ask you this question… You don't have to answer me now... Answer me when it is about to happen... Are you really ready for change?
(TJ stands up and pats Jake Cruder on the back, as the rest of CTHD all think hard about what TJ has just said as the show goes back to ringside.)

Floyd McCarver & Chris Punk vs The Carters
The Carters are in the ring, while Floyd McCarver is standing on the bottom of the entrance ramp as he waits for his tag team partner for tonight. Chris Punk makes his way down to the ring followed by his regular tag team partner and manager Robert Saints. McCarver and Punk fist bump as Saints looks on. Punk and McCarver slowly enter the ring as the The Carters are on one side of the ring waiting for them to enter.
Kyle Johnson: It seems that Punk’s usual tag team partner Robert Saints, our reigning and defending WXW World Heavyweight Champion, is going to be at ringside watching over things tonight.
Jarrett Firewalker: Does it matter if Robert Saints is out here or not? He knows the games that The Carters play just as much as his tag team partner Chris Punk, so why not come out here and watch Punk and McCarver’s back.
Breeze Jones: Well, you don’t see anyone in The Carters’ corner.
C.M. Carter and his brother T.J. are yelling at Punk and McCarver to get into their corner and decide on a starting man. McCarver and Punk start talking in the corner before Punk gets out of the ring onto the ring apron as McCarver walks out of their corner as does C.M. who comes face to face with McCarver. T.J. exits the ring and holds the tag rope on the apron. The referee checks both men for illegal objects and then signals for the time keeper to ring the bell to start the match.
McCarver and C.M. lock up in the middle of the ring and C.M. is easily powered down to the mat by McCarver. McCarver easily scoops up C.M. from the mat and hits a beautiful belly-to-belly suplex that takes all the air out of C.M. McCarver grabs a hold of C.M.’s hand and drags him to their corner where he tags in Punk. Punk now begins hammering away on the lower back of C.M.
Kyle Johnson: C.M. needs to get his brother in there or at least do something to gain the upper hand for his team, otherwise this one’s going to end rather quickly.
Breeze Jones: Don’t count out The Carters because they’re the former WXW Tag Team Champions, so they’ll get back into this match I think.
Jarrett Firewalker: They might be as tough as a $2 steak, but McCarver is tougher like a $5 brisket.
Punk grabs C.M. by the neck and then sets him up for a modified piledriver, but C.M. is able to power out of it and turns it into the Alabama slam!
Kyle Johnson: If at any point before this, now is the time that C.M. needs to tag in his brother T.J. into the match and possibly turn this match around.
Breeze Jones: I have to agree with you Kyle, but it’s easier said that done.
Jarrett Firewalker: Oh boo hoo! So what if C.M. is in a hard spot in the match! Come on guys! It’s not always smooth sailing in a tag team match.
C.M. uses this momentary pause in the action to try to get over to his corner in hopes of tagging in his brother T.J. into the match. McCarver fresh off the tag grabs C.M and drops him in the middle of the ring! C.M. looks up into his corner and his brother isn’t there…
While the referee was watching what was going on in the ring, he didn’t notice that Robert Saints had walked over to The Carters corner and knocked off T.J. from the apron, so that when C.M. eventually got to his corner, there was no one to receive the tag. C.M. and McCarver are in the middle of the ring now as T.J. slowly pulls himself back up on the ring apron. He starts banging on the steel steps with his foot wanting into the match. McCarver has a bearhug applied to C.M.
Kyle Johnson: McCarver has that bear hug locked in tight. Look at the look of pain on C.M.’s face.
McCarver increases the pressure of the bearhug as C.M. begins to squirm out of it with repeated elbow shots to the sides of McCarver’s head. The bearhug is finally broken and in one last ditch of effort by C.M., he hits the Enzuigiri kick to McCarver, dropping him to the mat! C.M. crawls over to McCarver to cover him...
1…
2…
McCarver powers out of it, shoving C.M. off of him.
Kyle Johnson: What strength there by McCarver! He shoved C.M. almost halfway across the ring!
Breeze Jones: Now if only C.M. can use that momentum to get his brother T.J. finally into the match.
C.M. crawls to his corner and then springs up and tags in his brother T.J! McCarver looks like a hungry lion licking his chops as he says to T.J. bring it on! T.J. runs at McCarver and hits the jumping knee, but it doesn’t faze McCarver as he remains on his feet. T.J. runs again and hits another jumping knee and this time it rocks McCarver a bit, but it doesn’t take him down. T.J. goes for it a third time and comes back with the jumping knee, but before it can connect, McCarver blasts T.J. with the meathook clothesline! McCarver goes in for the cover as the referee drops down to start the count…
1…
2…
T.J. kicks out!
Robert Saints jumps on the ring apron and begins arguing with the referee about a slow count. McCarver is now up and tags in Punk and Punk runs in and kicks T.J. in the midsection, doubling him over before hitting the running neck snap! Saints jumps down from the ring apron as the referee asks McCarver if he legally tagged in Punk and McCarver says ‘yes’ while C.M. is heard saying to the referee that they’re not legally tagged in.
Kyle Johnson: The referee isn’t sure if the tag between McCarver and Punk was legal, but it was.
Punk makes the quick tag back to McCarver who comes into the ring and lifts up T.J. and locks him into the bearhug. McCarver continues the pressure as C.M. is shown shaking the ropes frantically wanting to get into the match to save his brother. C.M. runs into the ring to try and break up the bearhug, but Punk runs in too and hits a beautiful standing dropkick that knocks C.M. down to the mat! Punk kicks him out of the ring before exiting the ring himself. After a couple minutes of being in the bearhug, McCarver releases it and hits the meathook clothesline. McCarver picks up T.J. and puts him over his back and goes for the Torture Rack Backbreaker! McCarver goes in for the cover…
1…
2…
Punk runs to the other side of the ring and knocks C.M. off of the ring apron when C.M. was attempting to get into the ring to stop the count!
3!!
The referee raises McCarver’s arm to signify that he and Punk have won the match. Punk slides into the ring and joins McCarver as the referee is now raising both of their arms. Robert Saints enters the ring and looks at Punk and McCarver while on the outside, T.J. attends to his brother C.M.
Jeremy Tucker: The winners of this match… FLOYD MCCARVER AND CHRIS PUNK!!
(The show goes to a commercial break.)
_______________________________________________________________
(The show returns and Candy is in the ring with a mic. She is smiling and giggling a little as the crowd cheers for her.)
Candy: Since I have a match next week for the Women's Title against Leanna, I thought I'd come out here and talk to you guys about it! You see, Leanna is a meanie head and SHE KICKED FLUFFY!!! That's just not nice! No one kicks my Fluffer and gets away with it! So you guys know what I'm going to do?
(The crowd starts chanting "KICK HER ASS! KICK HER ASS!" Candy covers her ears with her hands.)
Candy: THAT’S A BAD WORD! But it's what I'm going to do. Marcus said it was okay for me to kick her .... butt ... for that one. You don't kick someone's dog and do mean things like that! That's just mean. She's a bully picking on someone smaller than her. And it's MEAN! MEAN MEAN MEAN MEEEEEEAAAAN!!!!
(Candy stomps her feet but she is then interrupted by the sound of Fluffy wimpering a little bit.)
Candy: Not now, Fluffy...
(She looks around her and she realizes that Fluffy is not in the ring with her. The tron flickers to life a little as Fluffy's wimpering gets louder and echoes through the arena. On the screen is Fluffy inside a small metal cage, with a muzzle on. The camera zooms out a little to show Leanna Slater standing next to her.)
Candy: FLUFFY!!!!!!!!!!!
(Candy screams out of worry and fear for her furry little pal. Leanna leans down to be about eye level with Fluffy and looks into the camera, smug look on her face. She looks back to Fluffy.)
Leanna Slater: Oh don't worry, you flea ridden mongrel. I'm not going to hurt YOU. I'm going to hurt that stupid, moronic, naive, ditzy, idiotic, twit of an owner of yours. I'm going to make her wish that she was never born.
(She grins and looks back up at the camera.)
Leanna Slater: You hear that, Candy? None of this would have had to happen if you hadn't let your disgusting little beast run wild. But now... it's on. And I am going to have the last laugh. I ALWAYS get what I want. And what I want... is to beat you to a bloody pulp and prove my dominance. You better act fast. Who knows where I'll leave this creature, and how long she'll last. Good luck finding her.
(Leanna cackles a little bit as she picks up Fluffy's cage and walks out of the camera’s view. The tron goes dark. The cameras cut to Candy in the ring who looks absolutely mortified! She drops her mic without a second thought and darts up the ramp towards the back.)
Breeze Jones: OH NO! Poor Candy looks absolutely devastated.
Jarrett Firewalker: It's just a stupid, stinking dog!
Breeze Jones: That dog means the world to her! It's practically family to her!
Jarrett Firewalker: Attesting to the low IQ that they no doubt share.
Breeze Jones: Shut up.

(The show goes backstage to Cassandra Caldwell’s office where Marcus Cage has just walked in and goes over to her desk. She looks at him while she sits behind her desk.)
Cassandra Caldwell: Hi Marcus. Have a seat.
Marcus Cage: I would rather stand… especially if it’s bad news.
Cassandra Caldwell: No, no! Not bad news at all! In fact, I think you’ll like what I have to tell you.
(She stands up but stays behind the desk.)
Cassandra Caldwell: I’ve been watching you and I’m very impressed with your wrestling skills and ability in the ring. You’ve been doing very well here and when someone does as well as you’ve been doing, I never let that go unnoticed. The way I see it, what’s the point in trying to do good for yourself and get ahead in a company if you’re not going to be rewarded for it. Many wrestling companies operate that way. But not WXW. When we see someone come in here and they work hard to do good both for themselves and for this company… We think highly of things like that.
(Marcus was looking a bit confused.)
Marcus Cage: I’m not sure what you’re trying to tell me here. I’m glad you like what I’ve done so far, but if there’s a hidden message here, my spidey sensors aren’t quite receiving it.
(Cassandra smiled and chuckled.)
Cassandra Caldwell: I love your humor Marcus. Okay fine… I will get right to the point. What I’m saying is… after a lot of discussion with management, we realize that you have earned your chance for a title opportunity. We feel it’s time to give you that chance. Therefore… at Crime and Punishment… you will be in a title match against Vicious X-Terminator for the WXW Xtreme Championship.
(Marcus starts to smile.)
Marcus Cage: That is… quite a big opportunity. What can I say. I guess all I can say is thank you, and I’ll be sure to take full advantage of this once that bell rings.
(Cassandra smiles at him and nods.)
Cassandra Caldwell: You have earned this title shot. I’m sure you’ll bring your best to this match.
Marcus Cage: You can count on that. But… besides bringing my best… can I bring along something else?
Cassandra Caldwell: What would that be?
(Marcus pauses for a moment, holding his smile while looking at her.)
Marcus Cage: A tank.
(Cassandra looks at him in confusion.)
Cassandra Caldwell: A… tank?
Marcus Cage: Yeah… I’ve had it for years along with my tag team partner I had in a team called Shock and Awe. It’s really big and I would love for you to see it. You would like it I’m sure. It’s a lot of fun riding in that thing.
Cassandra Caldwell: Well… maybe another time. Just not this time. I’ve got enough going on right now with this pay per view. But don’t get me wrong. I would definitely love to see the tank sometime.
Marcus Cage: Oh trust me. You’ll be introduced to it at some point. I wish you a great day Cassie.
(Marcus keeps the smile on his face, then turns around and leaves her office. Cassandra stands there still looking a bit surprised.)
Cassandra Caldwell: …A tank?
(She shakes her head and the show goes to a commercial break.)

Travis Thompson vs Marcus Cage
The match begins and the two men lock arms as Marcus puts Travis in a side headlock takedown. Travis breaks out of the hold and hits a back body drop on Marcus and starts stomping away at him, taunting him by slapping him in the back of the head.
Kyle Johnson: Both Marcus Cage and Travis Thompson have been proving that they know what they’re doing in that ring.
Breeze Jones: That’s what should make this a good match.
Marcus looks pissed and hits a hard superkick to the face of Travis, knocking him down to the mat! Travis gets up and Marcus then hits a dropkick to Travis. Marcus goes for a cover...
1…
2...
Kickout!
Jarrett Firewalker: Where’s Marcus’s old lady tonight anyway?
Breeze Jones: Candy isn’t an old lady!
Kyle Johnson: She probably backstage somewhere. Unlike some people in this company, she doesn’t interfere in her man’s matches.
Marcus gets Travis up and measures him up for another superkick but misses and Travis hits a DDT on Marcus and goes for the cover!
1…
2...
Kickout!
Travis picks Marcus up and hits the Tilt A Whirl, causing Marcus to whip into the ropes and Travis follows it up with Snake Eyes! He goes for another pin…
1…
2…
Marcus kicks out in time!
Travis shows some frustration and both men get to their feet. Marcus grabs Travis and whips him into the ropes and on the return, he hits a running clothesline and Travis goes down. However Travis quickly gets up and both men start to punch away at each other as if out of pure frustration!
Jarrett Firewalker: Now this is more like it! Go at it guys! I love a good fight!
Breeze Jones: Jarrett, this is a wrestling match, not a streetfight!
Marcus gets the upper hand eventually and hits a Static Shock out of nowhere on Travis! Marcus goes for the pin…
1…
2…
Travis gets his shoulder up!
Marcus can’t believe it. He gets Travis up, whips him into the ropes and on the rebound, he attempts a flying knee on Travis, but Travis grabs him mid-move and hits a snap powerbomb!
Breeze Jones: Travis nailed that perfectly!
Travis is smiling and goes for the cover…
1…
2…
2 1/2…
Marcus gets his foot on the bottom rope!
Kyle Johnson: I’m on the edge of my seat here!
Jarrett Firewalker: You’re not the only one.
Both men go at it back and forth for a few more minutes before Marcus hits the Shock Therapy and goes for the cover!
1…
2…
3!!
Kyle Johnson: This match was awesome to watch. A very skilled match and both of these guys performed their best here tonight.
Breeze Jones: I agree. It could have gone either way. I wasn’t sure who was coming out of this with the win. It was a tough match the whole way through.
Jeremy Tucker: Here is your winner… MARCUS CAGE!!
_________________________________________________________________
(The show goes backstage and TJ Codair is seen walking through the corridors. He turns the corner and almost bumps head to head with Corey Bull. The two men stare at each other sizing each other up, as TJ cracks his neck and Corey continues to look at him. The two men look at each other eye to eye as neither one seems to back down. The camera catches Laney Bull coming into view as TJ looks over at her and gives a half smile. He looks at Corey and nods his head to him. Corey does the same. TJ walks past the two of them, however he then turns around to look at Corey.)
TJ Codair: Hey Corey, after all this is said and done tonight, you and me, a local pub, whatever happens there happens, but the first brew is on me. Either way, you and I are number one contenders.
(Corey just looks at him as TJ turns and walks away.)
_________________________________________________________________
(The camera goes to another area backstage where Miss Puppies is in the middle of an interview with Josh Matson in the hallway.)
Josh Matson: So now that we all know the woman who attacked you was Brennan Firebird, your former tag team partner, how do you plan to deal with her?
Miss Puppies: It’s fucking simple. I’m going to Crime and Punishment and I’m gonna knock her teeth out! THEN I’m gonna make her choke on her own blood. As for what else I might end up doing to her, we’ll have to wait and see. When I get as angry as I am right now with her for the attacks on me, even I don’t know what the fuck I’m gonna do to her. I might have had more respect for the bitch if she hadn’t come at me from behind. But no… she was a coward and had to be sneaky about it.
Josh Matson: It pretty clear that she has something against you. What did she mean about you not pulling your weight when you were tag team partners before?
Miss Puppies: That’s a bunch of bullshit! I carried the load for our group in that other company more than her and Tiffany Saints combined! I was the toughest one of the three of us! And now Brennan’s here in WXW saying she’s gonna make ME pay for things I didn’t do?? What the hell is she on?? Drugs?? The pot?? Seriously, she’s gone mental or something, or she’s living in her own little world! But frankly, I don’t give a fuck! I’m here in WXW to give myself a fresh start in my career and to be the competitor that I know I am. If she thinks I’m gonna let her get away with trying to ruin my progress and success here, then she’s gonna be taken by surprise like a ton of fucking bricks crashing down on that dipshit head of hers!
Josh Matson: You’re talking some bold words there Miss Puppies, but I’m not so sure that—
(Suddenly Brennan Firebird comes charging at Miss Puppies out of nowhere and takes her down to the floor!! Josh is quick enough to get out of the way. The two women are going at it with punches and are fighting each other on the floor!! Brennan starts to shout!!)
Brennan Firebird: You’re gonna pay bitch!! YOU’RE GONNA PAY!!!
(They continue to fight madly on the floor!)
Brennan Firebird: I HATE YOU!! YOU MADE ME DO ALL THE WORK!!!
Miss Puppies: YOU FUCKING BITCH!!! THAT THE BEST YOU GOT?? YOU’RE GOIN’ DOWN!!!
(Six security guards come rushing in and attempt to break up the two women! They are able to get them apart for about ten seconds, but then Miss Puppies breaks free and runs at Brennan, taking her down hard!!! Security once again goes after them and tries to break them up, but not easily. The two women are both very tough and are struggling to go at each other! The guards get them separated and far away from each other as they can while the women are still shouting at each other. The show goes to a commercial break.)

Debut Match
Jetta La Mon vs Kelly Robinson
Both women circle each other in the center of the ring, then they lock up and Jetta gets a headlock on Kelly. She holds it firm for a few seconds before Kelly gives her a couple of strong elbows to the ribs and forces her to break it. Kelly gives Jetta a kick to her midsection, then whips her into the ropes and on the rebound, she goes for a clothesline, but Jetta ducks and gives Kelly a standing dropkick! Jetta goes for an early cover…
1…
Kelly kicks out!
Kyle Johnson: Jetta is fast!
Breeze Jones: Of course she is. That’s why everyone calls her “Jett”.
Jarrett Firewalker: She’s fast like a jet. Yeah, yeah, we get it.
Jetta gets Kelly up and bodyslams her, then stomps on her stomach a couple of times. She gets Kelly up, gets her into position, and delivers a catapult that sends Kelly right into the ropes! Kelly bounces off the top rope and goes down to the mat. Jetta goes over to her and whips her into the ropes and hits a running clothesline. Kelly rolls out of the ring to catch her breath. After a few moments, she climbs back into the ring and Jetta allows her to do so without going after her. The two lock up and Kelly gains the advantage by pushing Jetta into the corner and starts punching at her head, then gives her a couple of powerful knees to her stomach. She pulls Jetta out of the corner and hits a snap suplex and goes for the cover…
1…
Jetta kicks out!
Kyle Johnson: So far this match has gone back and forth.
Jarrett Firewalker: I’ll admit, Jetta’s been impressive and I think it’s her fast pace and energy that has a lot to do with that.
Breeze Jones: I think Kelly’s having trouble keeping up with her. But still, Kelly putting up a good fight nonetheless, so you have to give her credit for that.
Kelly gets Jetta up and gives her a chop to the throat that stumbles Jetta back a bit. She gives Jetta a Russian legsweep, then grabs Jetta’s leg and applies a leg lock. Jetta looks to be in pain with the pressure that Kelly is putting onto the leg.
Kyle Johnson: The way Kelly’s got that locked in, it looks like Jetta’s leg is about to break in half!
Jetta struggles to get free from the leg lock and she slowly crawls her way over to the bottom rope and reaches out for it and is about to grab it. The ref tells Kelly to break the hold and she does reluctantly. Jetta uses the ropes to get to her feet and Kelly kicks at Jetta’s leg and that drops Jetta to one knee. Jetta however gets back to a standing position and gets to the corner. Kelly is after her and takes a hold of her arm and whips Jetta into the opposite corner. Kelly smiles and charges at Jetta in the corner to attempt a spear, but Jetta quickly moves out of the way and Kelly rams her shoulder right into the steel ring post!
Jarrett Firewalker: This could be a big turning point for Jetta.
Breeze Jones: She needs to capitalize on this.
Kelly is holding her shoulder as she slowly comes out from the corner. She turns around and Jetta is there waiting for her. Jetta picks her up onto her shoulders and starts up the Jett-Lag Effect! The crowd is cheering and after it’s done, Jetta slams Kelly to the mat and goes for the cover!
1…
2…
3!!
Kyle Johnson: And Jetta wins her debut match here tonight! I’m happy for her!
Breeze Jones: So am I. She did very well against Kelly. I’m sure she’s going to find a lot of successs here in WXW.
Jeremy Tucker: Here is your winner… JETTA LA MON!!

(The show goes backstage and we see Jorge Lopez standing in the middle of a hallway. He’s dressed in a red suit, with a black shirt, and a red tie. He seems like he’s talking to someone.)
Jorge Lopez: That was a fun weekend in New York/New Jersey.
(The camera zooms back a bit to reveal that Jorge was talking to his son Eddie Lopez! Once the crowd saw Eddie on the tron, they cheered loudly for him. He heard the cheering and smiled a bit. Eddie’s in the same jacket he came into WXW with, the leather coat.)
Eddie Lopez: Well, as a football fan, I found it boring and we were there at Metlife. Half the crowd was sleeping for god sakes! But hey, it was a good weekend regardless. I mean, Saturday I got to run the beach of New York, which was not the first time a crowd watched me.
(Eddie chuckled.)
Eddie Lopez: The beachbowl, which had all the celebrities. It was pretty good. That was my third time doing it.
(Jorge nods his head but before he could say anything, Maria Stone pops into the scene. Jorge glares at her for a second and so did Eddie. Both of them never have had an interview with her, so to them she’s someone new and trying to invade their conversation.)
Eddie Lopez: I guess Alexis changed her look again!
(Jorge keeps looking at the “newbie” wondering who she was. But because of his age, it’s not working out to well. )
Maria Stone: Sorry, I don’t mean to intrude, but I’m sure you don’t know who I am. I’m part of the backstage interviewers, and my name is Maria Stone!
Eddie Lopez: Oh, I was way off!
Jorge Lopez: Get it together man! Anyway, I should know who you are, but yyyeeah, names and faces don’t work well at my age anymore.
(Maria shakes her head at the guys.)
Maria Stone: I heard you guys were funny, but geez. Anyway, Eddie, what happened to you last week? I mean you showed up, then left.
Eddie Lopez: Yeah, I had to go to the doctors for a physical and it was in California. So by time I woulda got here, the show would have been over, so I decided to just stick around at home and watch the show there.
Maria Stone: And how’d that go, if I may ask?
Eddie Lopez: Well….they said I can start to wrestle anytime, so this Sunday at Crime and Punishment, I’m going to make my wrestling return after a month and a half away from the ring!
Maria Stone: That’s big news! Who would you like to face?
Eddie Lopez: Anyone who can entertain me in that ring. That’s a number one priority right now. After that, I’ve made it known to Cassie and my father, I’m gunning for the Heavyweight championship.
(Eddie pauses for a second, but during that second, Maria tries to take the microphone away, but Eddie snatches it back.)
Eddie Lopez: Don’t take it away from me! I wasn’t done talking! But anyway, my first match, I want to feel out the WXW ring and the atmosphere around here. If it’s anything like it was two weeks ago, then I’ll be happy.
(Maria is hesitant to take the microphone away, but Eddie nods his head.)
Maria Stone: Well, it’s going to be great to see you back in the ring again!
Eddie Lopez: Yeah, I can’t wait for it, and I know those people out there watching this on the tron and at home can’t wait either.
(Eddie smiles a bit. Maria looks at Jorge and wants to ask him a couple of questions.)
Maria Stone: Since you’re here… your thoughts on Eddie’s return to the ring?
Jorge Lopez: Maria, these fans are in store for something big when it comes to Eddie. He knows his way around the ring and always has. If you haven’t seen him, which I know some of these wrestlers back here haven’t, you’ll see what I mean. He loves to have fun.
(Maria nods her head.)
Maria Stone: One more question before I let you guys go. Since you’re the Head of Talent Relations here, is there more new wrestling talent coming?
(Jorge smiles.)
Jorge Lopez: You’ll have to stay tuned. I’m not going to reveal anything.
(Jorge smiles before walking away leaving Eddie and Maria there. Eddie stands there for a second before he shook his head and left. The show goes back to ringside.)

Grudge Match
The Enforcer vs Steven McKnight
The show returns from commercials with The Enforcer making his way down to the ring when he is out of nowhere assaulted from behind by Steven McKnight! McKnight wastes no time in slamming Enforcer’s back into the side of the ring. McKnight then throws Enforcer into the ring and follows him in, then picks him up and hits an overhead belly to belly suplex. McKnight is visibly aggravated as he rips the leather jacket off of Enforcer before laying in rights and lefts on him as he lays on the mat.
Breeze Jones: The bell has yet to ring but McKnight is all over The Enforcer already.
Kyle Johnson: I never expected McKnight to start the match like this.
Jarrett Firewalker: What are you talking about? These two hate each other, so it’s a no brainer that they would be fighting each other like this.
Enforcer is shown trying to cover up from the punches, but to little or no avail. The referee gets in between the two men and forces McKnight into one corner as Enforcer gets up. The referee asks for the time keeper to ring the bell to officially start the match. Enforcer runs at McKnight who quickly exits the ring. Enforcer goes out after him! McKnight continues running away from Enforcer and goes behind his wife Kimberly who is standing at ringside. Enforcer goes after McKnight, but he quickly hits the McKnight’s Tackle onto the Enforcer! McKnight rolls The Enforcer back into the ring and goes in for the cover…

Enforcer powers out of the cover!
Enforcer gets back to his feet slowly as McKnight is waiting for him to get back up. McKnight whips Enforcer into one of the corners and then runs in with another McKnight’s Tackle, but Enforcer is able to get out of the corner at the last second as McKnight’s shoulder goes in between the second and top turnbuckles and right into the steel post! Enforcer waits for McKnight to get out of the turnbuckles, and then he charges into the corner hitting the splash! McKnight crumbles down to the floor as Enforcer pulls McKnight out of the corner and goes in for the cover…

McKnight just barely is able to get his right shoulder off of the canvas to break the three count.
Enforcer picks up McKnight and delivers a powerful Northern lights suplex. Enforcer then drags McKnight into one of the corners and boot washes him in the corner as the referee counts with Enforcer stopping at the two count before he gets disqualified. Enforcer then grabs McKnight by his neck and bends his head backwards, thus forcing McKnight into the dragon sleeper!
Kyle Johnson: McKnight’s in the middle of the ring and I don’t see how he’s going to get out of this!
Jarrett Firewalker: McKnight will find a way out of it.
Enforcer keeps on the pressure as McKnight has sunk down to one knee. However, McKnight uses his free arm to push himself up, and gets back up to his feet underneath Enforcer. McKnight uses his free arm to hit Enforcer one time, and then again a second time, while positioning himself to bring Enforcer down in a jawbreaker!
Kyle Johnson: What a counter out of the dragon sleeper by McKnight!
Breeze Jones: I can’t believe that he got out of that when he was in the middle of the ring.
Jarrett Firewalker: Didn’t I say that it would take more than that submission move to keep McKnight down?
McKnight is back up on his feet as is Enforcer who is now running towards McKnight going for a running clothesline, but McKnight ducks underneath the clothesline attempt and hits the European uppercut so hard that it floors Enforcer! McKnight goes in for the cover…
1…
2…
Enforcer is able to get his left shoulder off the mat!
McKnight is getting frustrated that he can’t put away Enforcer. McKnight picks up Enforcer and kicks him in the midsection causing him to double over in pain. McKnight hits a double spinning powerbomb onto Enforcer. He goes in for the cover again as the referee barely gets into the correct positioning before Enforcer powers out. McKnight starts yelling at the referee for not being in the right place at the right time to count the three count for him to win the match. Both men are now back on their feet as they stand on opposite sides of the ring. They both run at each other going for a spear at the same time and run right into each other, knocking each other down!
Kyle Johnson: Did you hear that impact from that double spear??
Breeze Jones: Great way to knock your head off your shoulders.
Jarrett Firewalker: It’s going to take more than just a double spear to keep these two men down. To them, tonight is about their honor and who is bigger.
McKnight and Enforcer have barely moved after cracking skulls off of that double spear as the referee can be heard giving the ten count. McKnight gets up at the eight count as does Enforcer who is standing but on wobbly legs as McKnight hits the McKnight’s Tackle once more dropping Enforcer. McKnight pulls Enforcer into one of the corners of the ring and then climbs to the top rope and hits the McKnight Sault! McKnight then grabs Enforcer and locks in the McKnight’s Crossface!
The Enforcer taps out to the submission hold!!
The bell rings and the referee raises Steven McKnight’s hand to confirm that he’s the winner of the match.
Jeremy Tucker: Here is your winner… STEVEN MCKNIGHT!!
Kyle Johnson: McKnight walks away with the victory here tonight. What a match!
Steven McKnight exits the ring and Kimberly follows him as he heads up the entrance ramp. A couple of medics come down the ramp to the ring to help Enforcer back to his feet. Once he is standing up, Enforcer refuses any help as he slowly walks up the entrance ramp and to the back.
The show goes to a commercial break.
_____________________________________________________________________
(The show returns and Alexis Makarios is standing in the ring with her manager/cousin Drake DeMarco standing beside her. On the other side of the table across from Alexis stands Darren Maddox and his Extreme Justice members Dean Andry and Romeo Youngblood who are standing at each side of him. GM James Gibbs is standing at the end of the table between both parties. Darren and Alexis are looking at each other with utter dislike for each other in their eyes. The tension in the ring can be cut with a knife right now. James gets the contract signing underway.)
GM James Gibbs: Alright, let’s begin. Darren… Alexis… as you both know, you will be facing each other in a First Blood Match at next week’s pay per view Crime and Punishment. We are in this ring here tonight for the contract signing of your match. You have both read over the contract paperwork, and now all we need is for both of you to sign it and make the match official. If either one of you have anything you wish to say to the other… now is the time.
(Darren looks serious as he raises the mic that’s in his hand and starts to speak.)
Darren Maddox: Hi Drake. How’s it goin’? I have nothing to say to you Drake that hasn’t already been said. I’m not out here to waste air time on you.
(His eyes go to Alexis and he waits a moment before speaking.)
Darren Maddox: Before I sign for this match of ours, I’ve got some things to say to you. I know that I’m the not the easiest guy to get along with, and I know that I’m just the bad guy in the eyes of many, you included. But when it comes to you, I’m at the point now where I just want this match done and over with so that I can move onwards and upwards in this company. I’m not going to let you or anyone else hold me back from reaching the success that I deserve. I busted my ass back in the indy feds to finally get somewhere in a big, reputable company like WXW. I’ll be damned if I’m going to keep tolerating you and that temper of yours. Everywhere I go, you’re there. It’s like I can’t get away from you no how! I go and visit Lycra and you’re there. I walk down the hallways backstage every week and you’re there. I go online and you’re there! The only place you haven’t made your presence known is in my dreams, and you know why? Because I refuse to let you get into my head. That’s why. Darren Maddox doesn’t let people get to him. He stays in control of any situation he is confronted with, and this situation that you and I have ourselves in right now, is going to be coming to an end at Crime and Punishment, because quite frankly you red headed bitch, I’m fed up with YOU, and I’m fed up with your crippled up cousin standing here at your side, who I’m sure has a dark past from what I’ve heard, but no one will ever talk about that or bring that into light. It’s only about what Darren Maddox has done wrong, right Alexis?? You’ll never talk about what this asshole standing next to you has done because he can do no wrong in your eyes. Yes I lied, but I’ve owned up to that mistake, and Lycra has forgiven me, because unlike you, she tries to see the good in people. Yes I attacked you backstage, but, you need to realize that it’s not just you who has one hell of a temper. I’ve had anger issues all my life. Having a violent father and having his blood running through my veins does not help me whatsoever. I’m not standing here trying to make excuses for my behavior, but what you fail to see, is that Extreme Justice is exactly what the name says. We take extreme measures when necessary. That’s just the way we are. Now, I’m sorry if you don’t understand what I’m all about. I’m sorry that you don’t understand my actions. But you can believe me when I tell you, that when you and I face each other this Sunday, my actions are going to speak a lot louder than any words I can say to you in this ring right now. Do I respect you? Yes. Do I like you? NO.
(Darren is glaring at Alexis and he looks very angry at her.)
Darren Maddox: Now, if you’ve got things you need to say to me, you say them now to my face, something your cousin here needs to learn how to do.
(Alexis tilts her head a little and looks at Darren.)
Alexis Makarios: You respect me? How the FUCK do you expect me to believe that! That is just a line of bullshit so bad that anyone who believes that must be an idiot. I know you, Darren. I know what you are thinking, and why you do the things you do. I'm not stupid, Darren. Your idea of justice is diluted. You are pathetic and when you and I get in the ring at Crime and Punishment, I fully intend to make you regret ever crossing me. See, this could have been over weeks ago after me and Corey beat your sad excuse of a team. But noooo… you had to keep the bullshit going. And you know what? I'm going to end it when I walk out of the arena on Sunday with YOUR blood on MY hands. And NOTHING you say or do is going to change my opinion of you. So you stand here and say that if I have anything to say to you, you want me to say it to your face? I know there are going to be consequences with a few people, Lycra included, but it seems that she has made her decision. I, frankly, don't give a damn what you think of me. I'm not here for your approval and to get you to like me. And I guess there's only two things left to say to you right now…
(She grabs the pen and signs her name on one of the lines. She drops the pen to the table and looks Darren right in the eyes. She then promptly flips him off, with both hands.)
Alexis Makarios: FUCK... YOU!
(After she says that, Darren shakes his head as if he is trying hard to contain his anger towards her. He quickly grabs up the pen and signs the contract. He slams the pen onto the table and keeps his eyes on Alexis. Suddenly Dean pipes up on her and starts verbally attacking her.)
Dean Andry: Ya know what Makarios? Why don’t ya just piss off back to Australia, go crawl into a hole somewhere, never to be seen again. You’ve made Darren’s life miserable since the day ya came into this company. You’re takin’ up space in OUR playground and it’s time we do somethin’ about it. So ya know what? I’m gonna do somethin’ about it right now sweet cake.
(Dean pulls out his brass knuckles and slides them onto his right hand. Romeo looks on and starts to grin. Darren looks at Dean and sees the brass knuckles and looks concerned.)
Dean Andry: Why wait ‘til the pay per view. Let’s see some blood from that sweet face of yours right now!!
(Dean goes to take a swing at Alexis, but Darren gets in his way!!)
Darren Maddox: NO!! DON’T!!
(Darren pushes Dean back, but Dean comes forward again and instead, lunges right at Drake with his brass knuckled fist and attempts to hit Drake right in the face!! But Dean doesn’t land the punch as Drake moves out of the way and starts unloading on Dean!! Darren gets completely pissed off and flips over the table and goes right after Alexis!! Him and Alexis start punching at each other like crazy!! The crowd is going wild!! GM James Gibbs barely makes it out of the way as Darren and Alexis are all over the ring attacking each other!! Romeo is helping Dean to take down Drake who is now being overcome by their 2 on 1 attack against him! Romeo and Dean are stomping away at Drake who is laying on the mat!! Alexis sees her cousin being beat down by Dean and Romeo and she rushes over and starts attacking both of them!! Darren goes right after her and now everyone is just beating on each other in the ring that you can’t even distinguish who’s beating on who!! Drake has made it back to his feet and is pounding away on Dean!! GM James Gibbs is yelling like mad for security to get the hell down to the ring!! Ten security guards start rushing down the ramp and into the ring and start to break up the brawl! Once they have Drake and Alexis in one corner and Extreme Justice in the other, it only lasts for about five seconds, then Darren breaks free and go charging after Alexis again!! Her and Darren are going at it again!! Security breaks them up a second time and Dean and Romeo grab Darren and pull him away from Alexis and get him the hell out of the ring! The three of them hop the barricade and retreat into the crowd and Darren is shouting at Alexis. She is shouting right back at him! Drake is standing beside her wiping away the blood from his bottom lip that was split open during the brawl.)
Kyle Johnson: Oh my god… Someone’s going to get killed on Sunday…
(The show goes to a commercial break.)
