((The opening riff to “Hardwired" by Metallica plays inside the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Highlights are shown over the big screen of what transpired at #FSociety’s first ever supershow, Turmoil. Seth Lawless is shown putting Ash Scion through a table before holding up the Anarchy Championship he just won. Cass Baumer picking up a pinfall victory over Darien Hacaga is shown next before the video package shows Fiona Marie Larson and Diem Masters picking up a victory over Nexus. Amber Richards is shown dominating Xavier Young before the video package shows Drew Davies picking up a victory over Jenson Idol as Daniela Cabello makes the three count as the referee. Hutch Lanahan is shown raising his High Roller Championship after defending it against Spider who he beat for a second time. The video cuts to Renee Pleasant and Corey Bull’s brutal street fight before Corey picks up the win. A clip from the classic tag team match between Any Given Sundae and Rebel Ink is shown before it shows Rebel Ink having their arms raised in victory. Finally the video ends with Tyson Gregory and Adrien Cochrane in an even, back and forth match before Adrien leaped off the ropes and drove his knees into Tyson’s shoulders before pinning him for the three count and then holding up his newly won #FSociety Championship. When the video finishes, the camera view pans over to Khristina Valentine and Samuel Griffin.))
KV: We are here in the Honda Center in Anaheim, California with a sold out crowd of 18,900 people! What a way to start off our tour of California!
SG: I love being here in the greatest state on earth! I was getting tired of Vegas!
KV: It’s all nice! Anyway, we’ve got a great card here tonight with matches like Gray Malone versus Tyson Gregory!
SG: Don’t forget about the heated matchup between Zooey West-Jaa and Hutch!
KV: We also have the debut of Queenie versus Spider!
SG: The debut of Silas Romero as well! That guy is LEGIT!
KV: And how about our main event with the Trios match! What an action packed night!
SG: That Trios match is going to be fire!
KV: Agreed but you also want to know what’s going to be fire? Starting off our show with a match between the new #FSociety Champion, Adrien Cochrane, versus Pretty Boy Floyd! That’s happening now!!!
Match One: Singles Match
Adrien Cochrane versus Pretty Boy Floyd[/b
KV: Starting off the night we have the new #FSociety Champion, Adrien Cochrane, taking on the returning Pretty Boy Floyd!
SG: Floyd never should’ve been suspended! Robb Hardy is a douchebag and he deserved that beatdown!
KV: I think Robb had a valid reason for it.
SG: MALARKEY!
Jennifer Taylor: This match is schedule for one fall and is a non-title match. Coming to the ring, weighing in at 190 pounds and hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana… He is “The Dropkick King” and your #FSociety Champion... ADRIENNNNNN COCHRANNNNEEEEE!
((The lights cut off. The fans sit in silence. The opening guitar for "Last One Standing" by Simple Plan starts echoing throughout the arena and once the rest of the band kicks in, a set of two flames on opposite ends of the stage flare as the Dropkick King appears on the ramp with the #FSociety Championship strapped to his waist. The arena explodes with cheers from the fan favorite wrestler.))
~~How many times are you gonna try to shut me out?
I told you once, told you twice, I ain't gonna turn back around
You can say whatever, try to mess with me~~I don't care, I'm not scared
You don't have to say your sorry, save your sympathy
With a friend like you, I don't need an enemy
I would give you time if you were worth it
But guess what, you're not worth it~~
((Adrien Cochrane starts running down the ramp, slapping hands from the fans on his way down. He hops on the apron, hops over the ropes, climbs a corner as he holds his arms up in the air.))
~~Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, I'm always gonna be the last one standing~~
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, 'cause I'm never gonna give up trying
And now I'm ready to go, I'm here, I'm waiting for you
And I'm gonna be the last one standing
The last one standing~~
((He drops down and looks ready for the match to begin.))
KV: That champ looks ready!
SG: Don’t call him that!
KV: Why!?
SG: Because the champ to me will always be Tyson Gregory!
Jennifer Taylor - And his opponent, hailing from St Petes, Florida and weighing in at 237 pounds… PRETTY BOYYYYY FLOYDDDD!
(("G.O.A.T." by The Cult blasts out over the PA system. Pretty Boy Floyd slowly walks out onto the center of the stage. Looking around him, he starts to nod to the crowd and raises his arms outright. Walking down the ramp he basically ignores most of the jeers and cheers thrown his way before reaching the steps. Climbing to the apron he stops and looks round behind him, finally acknowledging those in attendance. He smirks at them before side jumping over the top rope. Walking backwards to the centre of the ring he drops to one knee before, again, lifting his arms outright.))
SG: Here’s a real champion human being! Unlike Adrien!
KV: I think the guy with the belt is the champion.
SG: SHUT UP!
((Both men stare each other down inside of the ring as Adrien hands the #FSociety Championship off to the ref. The referee goes to hand it off as Floyd charge right for Adrien as hits a booming clothesline. The ref calls for the bell.))
DING! DING! DING!!!
KV: Well, that was an impromptu start!
SG: Fine by me! I love me some PBF and I hate clowns! Adrien is a clown!
KV: He’s our champion!
SG: I won’t represent him, he’s like the Hillary Clinton of #FSociety!
((Floyd uses a series of stomps to beat down on Adrien as the ref begins a five count and right before the referee makes it to five, Floyd stops.))
SG: Damn! Why do the referees always stop the fun!?
KV: Because it’s illegal!
SG: Still fun though!
((The ref gets in between Adrien and Floyd to break it up. Giving Adrien some breathing room, he uses the ropes to pull himself back up to his feet. Floyd pushes past the ref and looks for another clothesline but Adrien ducks and Floyd catches himself in the turnbuckle. He turns and is met by an enzuigiri from Adrien. Floyd drops and Adrien goes for the cover.))
1…
2...
SG: Floyd kicks out!
KV: Impressive enzuigiri from the champ! He looks to be in top form!
SG: Stop trying to rig this match for Adrien.
((Cochrane kips back up to his feet and calls for Floyd to get up. Floyd makes it to his knees and Cochrane charges at him. He goes for a shining wizard but Floyd ducks out of the way. Floyd is now up on his feet and he grabs Adrien by the head before dropping him with a reverse DDT. Floyd goes for the cover.))
1…
2...
KV: Kickout by Adrien!
SG: What a back and forth match so far. I’d rather it be one sided in favor of Floyd!
KV: Shut up and enjoy it!
((Floyd stalks Adrien and waits for him to get back up to his feet. Adrien gets up in a daze and as he turns around, Floyd goes for the Melon Melt but Adrien ducks under it. Adrien then leaps back and grabs Pretty Boy Floyd and nails an Adrien Cutter.))
KV: ADRIEN CUTTER FROM OUTTA NOWHERE!
SG: Oh shut up!
KV: Never!
1…
2…
3!!!
DING! DING! DING!!!
Jennifer Taylor: The winner of the match… Your #FSociety Champion… ADRIENNNNN COCHRANEEEEE!
KV: What a way to start the show, with a win from the champion! I love it!
SG: Ugh!
KV: Let’s cut backstage to see what else is going on!
((The debuting duo, Locke and Keyes, are backstage in their locker room in their final moments of preparation for the match. Sarah Keyes smiles to the camera and taps her partner, Daisy Locke.))
Keyes: It’s a big night tonight.
Locke: The first chapters have been recorded. A fight is coming.
Keyes: Case One, Chapter Three. Locke and Keyes versus Fiona and Cass. It’s going to be a good one.
Locke: We’ve worked hard to get to this point. We’re excited by the opportunity in front of us to show the world what we can do.
Keyes: Not a lot of people have seen us in the ring. We’ve spent our time training with some of the best, fighting in the smallest of small places, and literally performed in front of three people.
Locke: There were more of us in the ring performing than out of the ring watching.
Keyes: The hard work didn’t stop us. The moments where people didn’t show up didn’t stop us. The comments from people that didn’t think two girls like us could make it didn’t stop us.
Locke: And Cass Baumer and Fiona Marie Larson won’t stop us.
Keyes: Not at all.
Locke: Chapter Three… it’s time.
Keyes: Writing wrestling’s history one move at a time.
((The two women bump their forearms together and smile as the scene cuts.))
((The scene cuts to Robb Hardy’s office with him sitting behind his desk in a suit and tie. He sets down the paperwork in his hands on the table before glancing up at the camera with a smile on his face.))
Robb Hardy: I’d like to start of by saying thank you to the wonderful fans of California that have filled up the Honda Center here in Anaheim, California. This is the first of five shows that will be touring in California, which will culminate at our next supershow, Insurrection, in Los Angeles!
((Robb pauses and leans in towards the camera with a serious look on his face.))
Robb Hardy: As for the topic of Pretty Boy Floyd, obviously he has been reinstated but let’s discuss why he was suspended. I am the authority figure here in #FSociety and whether you think I did something or not with whatever conspiracies may fill up all of your brains, you are not allowed to lay your hands on me without repercussions. Floyd being suspended for Turmoil without pay was a warning to all of you about the way you act around me. I’m your boss, not your friend and most certainly not a competitor, those days are behind me.
((He pauses again to let those statements sink in before his demeanor changes to a happier one.))
Robb Hardy: Last but not least, let’s go over the Lethal Lottery Trios Tournament for a shot at the #FSociety Championship. There are four teams of three competitors and they are competing in a final four, single elimination tournament. The winning team will then earn themselves title shots at Insurrection. One of the winning members will be the number one contender and face off against Adrien Cochrane for his #FSociety Championship at that show. The two teams fighting tonight in the main event are Seth Lawless, Amber Richards and Damon Graves going up against Diem Masters, Aurora Knight and Corey Bull. In two weeks, we will have Tyson Gregory, Cass Baumer and Drew Davies taking on the team of Queenie, Hutch Lanahan and Fiona Marie Larson. The winners of these two matches will fight a month from now. Good luck to everyone involved.
((Robb looks back down at the paperwork on his desk, giving the signal that he’s done talking. The scene cuts away.))
Match Two: Tag Team Match
Fiona Marie Larson/Cass Baumer versus Locke and Keyes
KV: We’ve got the first of two new tag teams making their #FSociety in-ring debuts here.
SG: Rebel Ink better have their eyes open. Challengers are coming.
KV: Let’s also not forget that Fiona Marie Larson and Cass Baumer are coming off wins at Turmoil.
SG: That’s true.
KV: So this is a great match for all four of these women to prove themselves.
Jennifer Taylor: This match is a Tag Team Match scheduled for one fall. Coming to the ring... at a combined weight of 254 pounds and from London, Ohio... they are LOCKE AND KEYES!!!
((“Iodine” by Icon for Hire hits over the PA system. Sarah Keyes comes spinning out from the back with her arms extended out. She knees down at the center of the stage as her partner Daisy Locke comes out and stands over her. Daisy leans over, draping her arms over her partner and whispers something into her ear. They both then stand up and play to the crowd as they head down to the ring. They slide into the ring together, with Keyes spinning around a little with her arms still out. Keyes pops her head through the ropes with her arms out and Locke comes up from behind her and stands over her with her arms in the air. They head to the opposite side of the ring and repeat this process for the other side of the crowd. The two ladies stand together and whisper back and forth as they wait for the match to start.))
KV: These two are very unique and I’m looking forward to actually seeing them in the ring.
SG: Unique is being nice. These two are just plain weird.
KV: Weird isn’t so bad.
SG: Yes it is. Weird is bad. And I hope they get beaten up for it.
KV: You can be such an asshole.
Jennifer Taylor: And their opponents… coming to the ring first... weighing 142 pounds from Wellington, New Zealand... CASS BAUMERRR!!!
((A familiar unapologetic guitar riff starts to play, met with the harsh vocals of Elle King. The crowd is on their feet, watching with wide eyes as the one and only Cass Baumer makes her way out of the gate with her fist up in the air. Cheers rain down on the New Zealand-born fighter, the whole crowd watching as the leather jacket-clad former-reporter makes her way down to the ring with a firm smirk on her face, basking in the sounds of the loud music. "Good Girls" continues to play as she struts down the aisle with her signature smirk, nearing the end of the ramp. Climbing up the steel stairs, she walks the apron, tossing her snapback flat-rimmed cap to a member of the audience without even looking. Jumping over the third rope with agility, she breaks into a sprint, running back and forth, bouncing off the ropes over and over until she takes her jacket and throws it over the top rope to an #FSociety official, knowing he would keep it safe. As the music dies down, she makes her way to her corner and impatiently waits for the action to commence.))
KV: Cass had her first win in #FSociety in a Triple Threat Match against Darien Hacaga and Yoenis Dario Flores.
SG: This girl has got some big ambitions going forward. I don’t think this was the match she wanted.
KV: She might not want to be in a tag team match, but a lot of eyes will be on this one and that is what matters.
Jennifer Taylor: And her partner… weighing in at 123 pounds and hailing from Colorado Springs, Colorado… FIONNNNA MARIEEEEE LARSONNNNN!
((“Don’t Threaten Me With A Good Time” hits over the PA system as Fiona Marie Larson runs out to the top of the ramp, pausing there for a moment to look around before making her way toward the ring, moving a bit to the music. As she gets to the ring she slides under the bottom rope and hops up to her feet, moving to the middle of the ring to wait for the match to start.))
KV: Fiona was also unhappy about being put in a position to have to rely on a new partner tonight.
SG: And she has an argument. She had to team with Diem Masters at Turmoil and now she’s got Baumer as a teammate here tonight.
KV: Fiona did help get the victory in her last tag team match. Let’s see what happens in this one.
DING! DING! DING!!!
((Daisy Locke and Cass Baumer start things off. They lock up and Locke quickly turns Baumer into a hammerlock. Baumer counters and throws Daisy down with an arm drag takedown. The two women lock up again and Daisy counters another grapple into a hammerlock. Cass spins it around into a hammerlock of her own. Daisy counters again and pushes Baumer into the ropes. Cass comes back and Daisy drops her with a running palm strike. Cass rolls over to her own corner and reaches up to bring Fiona Marie Larson in.))
KV: After some back and forth chain wrestling, Cass Baumer wanted no more of that after catching a palm to the face.
SG: That can’t feel good.
KV: Sarah Keyes is coming in as well.
((Locke brings Keyes in to go up against Fiona. Fiona comes right at Keyes and kicks her in the midsection. Keyes throws a kick to the legs in response. Fiona fires back with an elbow shot that knocks Sarah back a few steps. Keyes shoots with a side kick to the midsection and then spins around her arm and back to hit a DDT. Keyes props herself up on the second rope and waits as Fiona stands up. Keyes jumps off the turnbuckle at Fiona and gets caught before getting slammed down with a spinebuster. Fiona stays on top of Keyes in a mounted position and bombs away at her with punches. Fiona pulls Keyes up by the head and tags Cass Baumer in. Fiona opens up Keyes for a shot and Baumer connects with a knee to the midsection. Keyes drops down to her knees as Fiona steps back out to the apron.))
KV: Fiona and Cass seem to be working together well so far.
SG: I’m glad to see it. Robb Hardy put these two in a bad position here and I hope they make him look bad for it.
KV: I think this match is a great opportunity for Fiona and Cass tonight if they can win.
((Cass kicks a few times at Keyes as she tries to stand up. Cass then backs her up against the ropes. She hits her with an uppercut punch to the body and then sends Keyes across the ring. Keyes catches herself on the ropes and stays in place. Baumer charges across the ring at her and then gets sent over the top and to the apron with a back body drop. Keyes throws a wild kick in the direction of Cass’ head over the top rope that Baumer ducks under. Baumer hits Keyes with a shoulder block to the midsection through the ropes. She then leaps over the top of the top rope and hits a sunset flip powerbomb. She stays in a seated position and goes for the cover on Sarah Keyes.))
1…
2…
((Keyes kicks out at two and reaches out towards her partner. Baumer immediately hooks Keyes around the head and neck.))
KV: That was a well-executed sunset flip for a near fall there.
SG: Baumer has control of this right now and I’m loving it.
((Baumer pulls Keyes back into her corner again and tags Fiona in. Fiona takes her opportunity and throws an uppercut punch into the ribs of Sarah Keyes. She then hooks her around the head and throws her over with a snap suplex. Larson floats over Keyes and gets into a pinning position.))
1…
2…
((Keyes kicks out again. Larson pulls her up and connects with some knees to the body. Keyes returns fire with a chop and then a series of fast paced kicks to both sides of the body. Keyes back off the ropes and comes back with some momentum. She leaps over a sweeping leg attempt and hits the ropes again. Fiona dives at her legs for a chopblock but Keyes dives over her again, rolls forward and tags Daisy Locke back in. Locke charges in and knocks Fiona down with a running shoulder tackle. Baumer tries to swing at her from the apron but Locke blocks it and drops her down with a jawbreaker onto the top rope. Baumer drops down to the floor from the move. Fiona rushes in and hits Locke from behind, sandwiching her into the corner. She turns Locke around so that her back is up against the turnbuckles. She connects with a few kicks and then backs away. Fiona charges into the corner but gets met with a boot to the face. Locke jumps back up to the second turnbuckle. She leaps off and hits Fiona with a flying European uppercut. She gets on top of Fiona and goes for a cover.))
1…
2…
((Cass slides into the ring from the floor and drops down onto Locke’s back at the two count to break up the pin. She slams down on Locke’s back with a couple of forearms but Locke hooks her around the midsection and slams her back into the corner. Fiona gets up and this time is able to connect with a chopblock to the back of Locke’s knee. Larson holds Locke by her leg, pulls her away from the corner, and drops down onto the knee with an elbow drop. She continues to hold the leg of Daisy as she tags Cass Baumer in. Baumer comes in and kicks at the knee. She then twists Locke up and drops back into a Figure Four leg lock in the middle of the ring.))
KV: She’s got this locked in. Daisy Locke is in trouble.
SG: You have to love the teamwork between Baumer and Larson. No one could have predicted this.
KV: Baumer is trying to get Locke to tap. But Daisy is fighting this. She’s too far from the ropes and wants to turn this over.
((Locke struggles in the hold and eventually is able to power Baumer over, switching the pressure onto her. Baumer is close enough to the ropes and immediately grabs at them, causing the referee to break the hold. Locke pulls herself forward and reaches up to tag Sarah Keyes back in. Keyes springboards off the top rope and hits Baumer with a flying knee. Baumer stumbles up and gets knocked back into one of the free corners with a dropkick. Keyes rushes across the ring and hits her with a flying back elbow that drops Cass down into a seated position. Keyes backs away to the opposite side of the ring again. She charges in and connects this time with a stalled dropkick. She pulls Baumer out of the corner by the legs and then drops down to go for the pin, hooking a leg.))
KV: A high flying assault of moves into that corner from Sarah Keyes.
1…
2…
((Fiona comes into the match and breaks up the pin with a kick to the back of Keyes’ head.))
SG: They have both saved each other here at this point.
KV: Baumer and Larson have had each other’s backs in this one.
SG: I want to see them take back control here. It’s about time.
KV: Locke and Keyes aren’t making this one easy.
((Daisy Locke comes back into the ring and backs Fiona into the corner with some strikes. Keyes and Baumer get up and fight across the ring into the opposite corner. Baumer and Larson take control of the positioning and try to whip Locke and Keyes into each other. Keyes jumps over Locke when they get set into each other. Keyes hits Fiona with a jumping forearm shot but Locke rushes at Baumer and gets sent shoulder first into the steel post. Baumer pulls Locke back in and sets up for a headlock backbreaker, but Keyes makes the save with a superkick that sends her out of the ring and to the apron. Fiona comes in for a clothesline attempt at both women but they both duck under it and then take her down with stereo dropkicks. Locke and Keyes lock their legs with Fiona’s, roll forward, and slam her down onto her back in the middle of the ring.))
KV: I don’t know that I’ve seen a move like that before! They call it The Reichenbach Fall.
SG: I think they broke her.
((Locke lifts Fiona up into position for an inverted DDT and also has her hooked with a hammerlock at the same time. Keyes heads up to the top rope.))
KV: They want to hit A Study in Scarlet here.
SG: Cass is back up!
KV: She’s in position to do some damage here.
((Baumer charges down the apron and throws Keyes off the top rope and to the outside. Fiona counters out of the hammerlock and into a better position for a spinning headlock elbow drop onto Daisy Locke. Fiona pulls Locke up and holds her in the middle of the ring. Cass Baumer charges at her with a spear, lifts her up, and slams her down with a modified spinebuster. Baumer stays on top of Locke and goes for the cover.))
KV: The Lanzarse!
SG: That’s it. That’s a hit right there.
1…
2…
KV: Thr… No!
SG: Where did Keyes come back in from?
((Keyes springboards over Fiona to be able to get to her partner and break up the pin at the last second. Larson looks to hit Keyes with a thrust kick but Keyes avoids it and Baumer is the one that gets knocked out with the kick. Keyes springboards off the ropes again and hits Fiona with an axe kick to the back of the head. Locke pushes Baumer back into the corner while Keyes goes for the cover on Larson.))

DING! DING! DING!!!
Jennifer Taylor: Here are your winners… LOCKE AND KEYES!!!
KV: Keyes hit Fiona with Watson’s Cut and that was it.
SG: Fiona knocked out Cass. That just can’t happen.
KV: They worked well together until the end but one miscommunication was enough to work against Larson and Baumer.
SG: I thought they had it. I really did.
KV: It was close, but Locke and Keyes are victorious in their debut match here in #FSociety.
((The camera shifts to the backstage interview area where Wayne Trembley and Mario Cote are standing next to Tim Anderson. Wayne is decked out in an overly rhinestoned robe, while Mario is in simple Jeans and t-shirt. Anderson begins to speak as the camera takes in the whole picture.))
Tim Anderson: I am here with Canada’s Greatest Export.
((Wayne snatches the mic out of Tim’s hand really quickly.))
Wayne Trembley: And we’re here with our favorite #FSociety interviewer. It was a rough time for you at Turmoil. Lots of people were basically huge jerks to you. How do you feel about that?
((He puts the mic in front of Tim, who seems slightly taken aback.))
Tim Anderson: Umm… well... it’s part of the job, I guess. I thought it went okay.
((Mario gestures for the microphone and Wayne hands it over.))
Mario Cote: Well on behalf of Canada’s Greatest Tag Team in the history of the universe... we wanted to say that we are Soorey for how we treated you.
Tim Anderson: Well… I thank you?
((Mario goes to hand Wayne the mic back but Wayne shakes his head and produces a mic of his own from who knows where. The mic has a glittery W on the handle that is easily twice as wide as the mic itself.))
Wayne Trembley: Don’t get us wrong Tim, under normal circumstances we would never… evvvvveeeerrrrr back track on something we said.
Mario Cote: However, sometimes we forget we are trend setters.
((Wayne and Mario both put their respective mics up to Tim, which clearly increases his nervousness.))
Tim Anderson: Well then, gentlemen. What can we expect from you two tonight?
Mario Cote: Well, I will likely drink all the beer.
Wayne Trembley: He means all the beer. I will likely kick back, have a glass of wine, read a book. The normal evening for us. However, I sense you meant here on Anarchy?
((Tim Anderson nods.))
Mario Cote: That is simple Tim, we plan to win. I mean honestly sometimes I wond… UMPF...
((Wayne elbows Mario in the gut to shut him up.))
Wayne: Soorey about him Tim, he was about to be a bit rude, after being best friends with someone for as long as we have you start to know these things. I do feel I need to be a bit honest with you. If I am not Mario will be, and not in a normal Canadian way. You see we have vowed to be nice to you.
Tim Anderson: I really appreciate that…
((Mario holds up a hand to stop Tim, while at the same time shooting daggers at Wayne with his eyes.))
Mario Cote: What he means to say is we are going to be nice to you to your face. Once you walk away I will undoubtedly go off about how I really feel.
((Wayne looks sad as he shrugs his shoulders.))
Mario Cote: The fact is we don’t want you to off yourself Tim. You have potential. Really you aren’t the worst reporter we have ever come across.
Wayne Trembley: This is true.
Mario Cote: Yeah, that Sasha Taylor chick was horrid. Though Randy Lewis was pretty amazing.
Wayne Trembley: That is how I recall it. Anyway. On to more important things. Tonight we face off against the Nexus. Tonight, Mario and I begin to show #FSociety what we can do. And in doing so we take steps towards our bigger goal. The rise of tag team wrestling here.
Mario Cote: That’s right. As Wayne said, it’s time to show you what we can do. That is cause a lot of pain, Tim. We hit hard, we hit fast, we hit often. We tag in and out, we stay fresh. We are a well oiled machine.
Wayne Trembley: But not an American machine mind you, more like a Swiss watch. Something that truly works. We’re a storm. And our opponents are about to be right in the middle of that storm. If only there was a word for that. Anyway. Don’t follow any dirty birds. Don’t concern yourself with how excited someone may or may not be. There’s no need for any lists. Just sit back, relax, drink your beer flavored water, and enjoy craftsmanship at work. Soorey…
Mario Cote: Not Soorey.
((Mario politely hands Tim his mic back before he knocks the camera back and storms off. Wayne follows him. Tim Anderson is left looking rather perplexed at the two.))
Match Three: Singles Match
Spider versus Queenie
KV: Now it’s time for match three of the night. The debuting Queenie is looking to gain a victory over Spider, who’s currently on the rebound.
SG: I’ve heard things about this Queenie chick, she’s crazy! But it’s kind of hot.
KV: What!?
SG: I’m just saying, she’s into some kinky stuff.
KV: OH MY GOD! YOU’RE GROSS!
SG: Whatever!
Jennifer Taylor: This match is scheduled for one fall. Coming to the ring… Weighing in at 115 pounds and hailing from Dallas, Texas... she is SPIDERRRRR!
((The opening of “Million Miles an Hour” by Nickleback pumps through the arena and the camera pans the crowd, looking for the mysterious Spider. They finally catch sight of her, standing amidst the crowd, looking dressed to compete, wearing her usual tight black wrestling gear. She heads down through the crowd towards the ring, smiling to herself as the fans react to her, parting so that she can get through. She vaults herself over the barrier and climbs up to the apron. Looking around at the crowd, Spider wraps her legs around the top rope, and dangles upside down for a moment, allowing herself to stretch out and hang from the top rope to the apron before finally letting herself down and crawling between the ropes for the match.))
KV: Gotta love Spider!
SG: She’s hot but I think Queenie is going to rearrange her face!
KV: I think that’s a little out there.
SG: So is Queenie!
Jennifer Taylor: Her opponent… weighing in at 130 pounds and hailing from Cojasca, Dâmbovița County, Romania… she is QUEENIE!!!!
((“Area 11” by Red Queen hits the speakers as Queenie steps out onto the stage. She doesn't pause to pose or work the cameras, but instead rolls her shoulders, making her way down the ramp. She hops up onto the apron and steps over the top rope. As she moves across the ring, she kisses her two middle fingers and touches them to her chest, making the sign of the cross. She then drops to one knee to touch the mat, keeping her head bowed as her music fades out.))
SG: HOT!
KV: Get over it.
SG: Never! Hey Queenie! Call me after the show!!!
KV: Unreal.
DING! DING! DING!!!
((The referee calls for the bell. Queenie charges at Spider and goes for a clothesline but Spider ducks it and grabs Queenie by the arm before twisting it around to her back. Spider then whips Queenie into the ropes and Queenie bounces off of them. Spider jumps up to attempt some move but Queenie leaps up in the air and drives Spider down with a thunderous spear.))
SG: WOAH!
KV: What a move!
SG: This Queenie girl has Spider’s number!
KV: She’s quite athletic too.
((Queenie picks Spider up and whips her into the corner. Queenie charges into the corner and leaps up, going for a splash but Spider moves out of the corner at the last second and Queenie goes head first into the turnbuckle. Spider grabs Queenie by the head and delivers a DDT. She stays on top of her and goes for the cover.))
1…
2…
SG: Queenie kicks out!
KV: A great counter and move by Spider.
SG: Yeah, it was okay I guess if you like boring!
((Spider picks Queenie up and Queenie counters with a knee to Spider’s gut. Queenie sets Spider up for a suplex and nails it before going for a pin.))
1…
2…
KV: Spider kicks out!
SG: She should stay down! I know I would against Queenie.
KV: We know, Samuel, we know.
((Queenie slaps the mat before pulling Spider up by her hair. Queenie, with a handful of Spider’s hair still, lifts her up and tosses her down to the ground with Spider landing down face first on the mat. Spider gets to her knees and Queenie nails her with a curbstomp.))
SG: WOAH!
KV: Queenie is going for a pin!
1…
2…
KV: Kickout!
SG: That’s surprising!
KV: I agree.
((Queenie gets up and begins to stomp on Spider’s ribs in anger and the referee counts to four until Queenie stops. The two begin to argue and Spider rolls Queenie up for a pin with her being distracted and the referee starts a count.))
1…
2…
SG: Queenie kicks out! The referee almost helped Spider still that one like a thief in the night!
KV: Queenie needs to be aware of her surroundings!
((Both competitors are on their feet and Spider charges Queenie. Queenie lifts her foot up and nails a thunderous big boot. Queenie picks Spider up and nails a T-bone suplex.))
KV: Beton Kick followed by pa pa cățea!
SG: The papa what?
((Queenie goes for the cover and the referee starts the count.))
1…
2…
3!!!
DING! DING! DING!!!
Jennifer Taylor: Here is your winner… QUEENIE!!!
((The referee raises Queenie’s hand up in the air as her theme blares over the PA system. Queen snatches her hand away from the referee and begins to stomp on Spider some more for good measure. Queenie follows this up by putting Spider into a camel clutch.))
KV: That’s the albină sting!
SG: Queenie is showing no mercy tonight!
KV: This is wrong! The match is over.
((The referee yells at Queenie to stop as Spider furiously taps out on the mat. The life in Spider’s eyes soon fade out and she stops struggling as Queenie has a sadistic look on her face. Queenie then shoves Spider face first into the mat and exits the ring.))
KV: I think Spider is going to need some assistance.
SG: That was hot!!!
KV: Right… Let’s cut to backstage!
((The camera cuts backstage where two large men wearing jeans and t-shirts are standing by with Tim Anderson in the backstage interview area.))
Tim Anderson: Gentlemen, I understand that you have recently been signed by Robb Hardy after his recent scouting work and have joined us here in #FSociety. Welcome.
((The bald-headed man, with an angry look across his face, grabs the mic.))
Bald Man: No welcome’s needed. A lot of people ain’t gonna like us much around here soon enough. So let’s forget about the pleasantries and let’s get down to the business. My name is Bully McCarron. Texas born and bred. Brought up tough and brought up right. I’m not here for friends. I’m here to hurt people. It’s really that simple. And this right here…
((He slaps the chest of his partner who steps forward.))
Bully: This is Orleans. Hey, interview man. Ask my partner a question.
((He lets go of his grip of the microphone and Tim Anderson looks at Orleans to ask him a question.))
Tim Anderson: Well, Mr. Orleans. What brings you here to #FSociety Wrestling?
Orleans: We’ve been working all over the South for years now bustin’ our asses and beating people up. People are afraid of us down there and for good reason. The reputation is real. Robb Hardy and the management here, we’re not sure what these boys are thinkin’. Either they think they can tame us, which they can’t. Or they think they can use us as their own weapon, which they can’t. Or they just a little stupid, which could be. Doesn’t matter to us. We’re comin’ in with a goal of putting people in their places and showin’ the world who the toughest tag team in the world really is.
Tim Anderson: When can we expect to see the two of you in action?
Bully: Let’s make this perfectly clear, you hear? The I-10 Connection is ready to fight. Right now. Tomorrow. Next week. Whenever. So make it happen. Give us everything you have. We will take on the world and show everybody who the baddest team really is. That sound right?
((He glares at Anderson. Tim nods his head.))
Bully: Good.
((The two men walk off, with Bully brushing his shoulder up against the interviewer as the scene switches to another area backstage.))
((The cameras cut to just as Queenie comes through the curtain. She turns slightly and comes face to face with the camera. She smirks and leans her head back slightly, shaking out her red hair with a sigh.))
Queenie: Take fucking notice, each and every one of you who has questioned my taste for what you saw before you just now...
((She licks her lips slowly; a sneer crossing her lips.))
Queenie: That little lamb was merely an appetizer. The true slaughter is coming and not a single body will be left unscathed... You can partner me with whomever you want; make it about titles I don't care for or carrying victories of people I don't know... It won't make a damn bit of difference.
((She raises a hand and points down the lens with another sneer.))
Queenie: In my world, there are no teams... Only followers and those who stand beside me will fall in line, or meet the same fate as the pathetic waste of oxygen left lying in the ring right now... Trios? Team work? Fuck it. You either bow to me... Or I make you.
((Queenie turns to move away, before pausing and looking back to the camera with a smile now.))
Queenie: Back dogs into a corner and they will turn on one another... And if there ain't one thing I know very well... IT's Dogs.
((Queenie walks away as the scene cuts back to the announcer’s table at ringside.))
Match Four: Tag Team Match
Nexus (Victor Monroe & Caroline Holt) versus Canada’s Greatest Export
KV: We’ve got some more great tag team action ahead of us.
SG: It’s the debut of Canada’s Greatest Export against Nexus.
Jennifer Taylor: Introducing first... making their #FSociety Wrestling debut… at a combined weight of 430 pounds… Cote and Trembley...CANADA’S GREATEST EXPORT!!!
((The lights go dark and the ripping guitar of “Summer of 69” by Bryan Adams plays over the loudspeakers. The lights come up and smoke pours around the entrance as the song plays. Two figures appear through the smoke and step out. One turns away with arms outstretched and a Canadian flag jacket running wrist to wrist. The other is holding a Canadian flag in one hand and giving a salute with the other. As the smoke dissipates, Wayne Trembley turns and drops to his knees and stretches his arms, causing his back to be a Canadian flag, while Mario Cote stands behind waving the actual Canadian flag. Trembley keeps his arms stretched as Mario screams wordlessly into the arena. After a few moments of the screaming he runs full tilt to the ring while Cote walks down waving the flag. Wayne slides in under the bottom rope before rising to one knee and waiting for Mario to catch up. Once both are in the center of the ring Wayne spreads his arms to again show off the flag, while Cote waves the flag behind him. This triggers red and white pyro around the ring.))
SG: Look at these loonies.
KV: I am not a fan of their attitudes so far this week.
SG: At least they are loyal.
KV: I know they were decent in other organizations we will see how they stack up here tonight.
Jennifer Taylor: Their opponents… at a combined weight of 384 pounds... CAROLINE HOLT and VICTOR MONROE… NEXUSSSS!!!
((“Hall of Fame” by The Script featuring Will.I.Am begins to play over the PA system. Caroline Holt, Victor Monroe and Heather Sandstorm of Nexus are out first, followed out by their managers, Ronnie Michaels and Bridget Sandstorm. The entire group stands together and surveys over the crowd before heading down to the ring as a unit. Caroline and Heather slide into the ring together and wait for their opponents to come out while the rest of the group watch from the outside.))
SG: Now this team, I like.
KV: Not surprising.
SG: What can I say... Holt is a sexy beast
KV: And also a wrestler and a human being, you may remember.
SG: Yeah, sure. Those things too.
DING! DING! DING!!!
((The fans seem to want Holt in the ring, but Monroe talks her into the corner. In the other corner the duo of Trembley and Cote play Roshambo to see who gets to start out. Wayne wins and Mario kicks the bottom turnbuckle in frustration as he takes his place outside the ring.))
KV: That’s an interesting way to pick who starts the fight.
SG: I kind of like that.
((Wayne and Victor circle each other in the ring. The two come together in a collar and elbow lock up. Victor gets the advantage and applies a side headlock onto Wayne. Trembley backs into the ropes and pushes Monroe off across the ring into the ropes to break the hold. Victor returns and leaps over Trembley who hits the ground. Trembley hops back up and nails a returning Victor with a hip toss. He pauses to lick his fingers, smooth his eyebrows, and point at the crowd. They don’t really respond. Monroe hops to his feet and Trembley gets back in focus and charges and catches a snap scoop slam. Monroe gathers Wayne off the ground and whips him into the Nexus corner. He then hits a running clothesline into the corner on Wayne as Holt tags herself in. She starts to stomp away at Wayne who had fell into the corner. She picks up Trembley, gives him a chop and then delivers a quick snapmare takeover on Trembley tagging back in Monroe quickly.))
SG: Great teamwork by Nexus so far.
KV: They have taken control early, always a good sign.
SG: Monroe looks focused
KV: Wayne might be in trouble.
((Victor picks up Wayne who delivers a poke to the eyes. Monroe grabs his face and turns his back on Wayne who nails a bulldog on the prone Victor. Wayne picks up Monroe. Victor swings wildly still suffering from the eye poke. The ref breaks the two men up as he checks on Monroe. Wayne breaks up the checkup, and whips monroe into his corner. He comes in with a big splash getting tagged by Cote. Wayne and Mario nail a double suplex onto Monroe. Wayne slides out of the ring as Mario floats into a headlock on the ground. Victor powers himself to his feet. Mario then nails him with a knee to the gut doubling him over. Cote applies a standing armbar onto Victor. He walks to his corner keeping the move applied and tags back in Wayne. Trembley quickly climbs to the top rope and comes off with a double axe handle to the shoulder. Mario hops out of the ring. Wayne hits a quick exploder suplex onto Monroe and tags back in Mario. Wayne then grabs Victor by the legs as Mario hits the ropes. Wayne slingshots Victor into a running clothesline from Cote.))
SG: Just like that the tide turns.
KV: Great teamwork. I could have done without the eye poke.
SG: That was clearly an accident.
KV: Sure, and ending the Walking Dead on a cliffhanger was an accident.
((Mario picks up Monroe and applies an abdominal stretch onto Victor. Monroe grits his teeth in pain as the ref checks on him. Mario slowly reaches his hand back to Wayne, who grabs it and leans back himself for added leverage. Monroe starts to scream in pain with the added pressure. The ref looks up just as Mario releases his hand and slaps Victor’s side.))
KV: These two are cheats.
SG: It isn’t cheating unless you get caught.
((Mario gets leverage again from Wayne but this time but the ref catches them and kicks Mario and Wayne’s hands apart, breaking up the added leverage. Mario is screaming at the ref that he lost his balance and Wayne was just helping him. Victor then explodes up with a hip toss onto Mario. Monroe makes his way toward Holt, but is cut off by Cote with a falling double axehandle to the back. Mario floats and locks in a crossface onto Monroe just out of reach of Holt. Monroe reaches for the ropes and is nearly there when the ropes move a few inches as Mario pushes the ropes back with his foot. The ref doesn’t see it at first but then starts his five count. Mario lets go of the hold at four. He picks up Monroe who reaches for Holt. Mario Irish whips him across the ring and as Victor comes of he nails a springboard uppercut and both men are down. Both men crawl toward their respective corners. Mario dives for Wayne who comes charging in towards Monroe.))
KV: Monroe gets the tag.
SG: Here we go!
KV: This is what the Nexus needed.
SG: It’s what men everywhere needed!
KV: Trembley might disagree for several reasons.
((Holt nails Trembley with a single leg drop kick taking him to the ground. Cote is starting to get to his feet in his corner and catches a European uppercut knocking him to the ground on the outside. Holt turns around and hits a groggy Trembley with a sitout facebuster. She goes for the cover.))
1…
2…
SG: Where did she go?
KV: Mario pulled her out of the ring.
((Mario goes to clothesline Caroline who ducks it and nails Mario with a spinning heel kick. Heather Sandstorm then nails Cote with a spear. Holt slides back into the ring and sees Wayne in the corner sitting down trying to make his way to his feet. The Billion Dollar Princess charges the Alberta Anaconda and nails him with a running double knee strike. Holt picks up Wayne who goes for a eye poke. Holt blocks it three stooges style with a knife edge hand. Then grabs Wayne's arm flips him over and the next thing you know Holt has Trembley in the Boss’ Landing. Mario, from the outside, places his partner's foot on the rope a few seconds before he starts to tap out. Mario then falls back to the ground on the outside.))
KV: Wayne was tapping.
SG: His foot was on the ropes.
KV: Mario Cote put it there!
SG: That doesn’t change the location of the foot. Besides, Mario Cote is a valid participant in this match. I don’t know why people all of a sudden act as if tag team partners are interfering.
((Holt thinks she has won and is standing in the ring with her hand in the air. The ref lowers her hand and kicks the bottom rope. Caroline is hot as she picks up Trembley and whips him into the Nexus’ corner. Victor is back up at ringside and gets the tag. Monroe comes into the ring and starts to work over Trembley. On the outside Cote is making his way over to the Nexus’s corner. He chop blocks Sandstorm. Holt drops down and charges Cote who side steps the boss and uses her momentum to ram her into the guardrail as hard as he can. In the ring Victor is setting up Trembley for the Hunt To Kill. Victor places his arms around Trembley who rolls up Monroe in an odd pin reversal. Cote gets to his corner. On the outside Holt and Sandstorm are still down.))
KV: What a cheap shot by Cote.
SG: A couple of them.
KV: It shouldn’t be allowed.
SG: As much as I love Holt and Sandstorm it is good strategy. Trembley made it clear on Twitter earlier this week that he and Cote were aware of the threat of being outnumbered by Nexus. Obviously they had a plan.
((Mario delivers a blind tag to Wayne. Monroe goes for a haymaker on Trembley who rolls it into a Kiss the Mapleleaf. Cote comes off the top rope with a Canadian Tornado.))
KV: Kiss the Tornado.
SG: What?
KV: That combination it is called Kiss the Tornado or it was in their last organization.
SG: How do you know that?
KV: I take my job seriously.
((Mario hooks the leg as Wayne stands over him, vogueing.))
1…

3!!!
DING! DING! DING!!!
((“Summer of 69” by Bryan Adams blares over the speakers as Cote and Trembley slide out of the ring and back their way up the ramp, raising their hands in the air. Holt and Sandstorm eye the retreating Canadian duo as they slowly make their way into the ring, each the worse for wear.))
SG: They did it! I have decided I like the Canadians.
KV: How shocking.
SG: They did what they had to do tonight to win. I can respect that.
KV: It was a disgraceful showing. I expect more class from Canadians.
SG: I just hope that the Nexus can recover from this.
((The cameras cut backstage to interviewer Daniela Cabello standing before the camera with a microphone in hand. As soon as the camera pans out it shows recently crowned #FSociety Heavyweight Champion Adrien Cochrane, fresh off his victory over Pretty Boy Floyd. The fans go absolutely nuts with cheers. Before either speak, a "DROP-KICK-KING!" chant starts loud enough for the broadcast to hear it.))
Daniela Cabello: I am here live with our new champion, Mr. Adrien Cochrane. How are you today?
Adrien Cochrane: I'm doing great.
Daniela Cabello: After capturing this title after no one gave you a chance against Tyson Gregory, does victory taste sweeter when you overcome such overwhelming odds?
((The champion chuckles a bit.))
Adrien Cochrane: I would be lying if I said it didn't. I think now that I've won this, people will probably take me a lot more seriously. And this is something that I know I need to not do and that is to underestimate anyone who steps in the ring with me. As I said in my press conference, you could see a lot of wild match outcomes on any given Sunday with upsets galore capable of happening each and every time that bell sounds. If you prepare for every match like they are the most dangerous contender to your championship… like I did with this match against Pretty Boy Floyd… you're less likely to be on the wrong side of an upset.
Daniela Cabello: It certainly worked after getting a victory over Floyd. Do you think the title puts a target on your back?
Adrien Cochrane: Oh definitely. I went from guy people thought didn't deserve a shot at Tyson to the guy with the belt everyone wants. When I go toe to toe with anyone, they will be giving it more effort than before because going against the champ gives them a bit more of an edge. It comes with the territory of being the champ.
Daniela Cabello: Well, this isn't your first rodeo with a big title like this since you had two previous runs as World Champion for two other companies. That experience helps you develop that attitude, I'm sure. You said in your promo that you think this loss will in up benefiting Tyson Gregory in the end?
Adrien Cochrane: I do. His biggest weakness was his own pride. Losing to me allowed him to see that. I think a more motivated and less prideful Tyson Gregory will be ten times more dangerous than he was when he was champion because he isn't going to let his arrogance interfere with his attitude towards his opponents. He won't take any opponent lightly anymore and that will lead to a much scarier Tyson Gregory.
Daniela Cabello: What do you think about these Trios matches to help determine the person to get the first crack at your belt?
Adrien Cochrane: It's certainly the first time I've seen that particular match format be used to determine the contendership for a singles title, but no matter. I'm prepared to go out and face whoever comes out of this victorious and earns their right to step into the ring with me. Whoever wins this will have fought though a lot of bodies to get to me and will definitely be treated like someone who did. But in the end, you can't just win the game only playing three quarters. This person can't just let it be enough that they won the contendership and forget they have to play the fourth quarter to get the victory. Whoever wins this, be prepared for an Adrien Cochrane who is prepared to fight tooth and nail to prove he is the best wrestler in #FSociety.
Daniela Cabello: Thank you, Adrien. Congratulations and good luck down the road.
Adrien Cochrane: Thank you, Daniela.
((Adrien Cochrane smiles and walks off screen.))
Match Five: Singles Match
Drew Davies versus Silas Romero
KV: I like the matchup we’re looking at here. Both of these could be big players if they keep their momentum up.
SG: Silas Romero walked in the door, stepped up to one of our champions, and called his shot. I love it.
KV: And his opponent, Drew Davies has been successful so far in his endeavors.
Jennifer Taylor: This match is scheduled for one fall. Coming to the ring... from Boston, Massachusetts and weighing in at 230 pounds... SILAS ROMEROOO!!!
((With the lights dimming down in the arena, various gold spotlights start going over the crowd. The super thrashy, post-hardcore sounds of "Snake Oil" by Good Tiger fill the arena, with the gold and maroon lights pulsing to the beat. Once the vocals come in full force, the "Hipster Hercules" Silas Romero emerges onto the stage with one spotlight shining onto him. Silas stares out into the crowd, while the crowd is cheering and chanting his name. As soon as the first breakdown kicks in on the song, Silas slowly elevates his right arm up to chest level; bending it at the elbow so that his forearm runs parallel with his chest. The letters "#GKFO" are written across his navy forearm sleeve that go all the way up, connecting to his elbow pad, in a crisp, clean maroon font. A smirk rolls across his lips, before lowering his arm back down even slower than before. Silas strolls down the entranceway. Every so often he smacks someone's hand at ringside, but not many. Once he gets to ringside, he goes directly for the steel steps that lead up to the apron of the ring. Silas leans up against the steel ring post for a moment; again letting his smug smirk roll across his lips, just before stepping slowly between the second and top rope. He walks across the ring, straight for the hard camera side of the ropes. He leans forward, letting the top rope support his weight, while sticking his right arm out in front of himself. It is level with his chest and the letters on his arm are once again readable. He points to each letter with his left pointer finger. As the music reaches the final chorus of the song, Silas pushes himself away from the ropes and proceeds to make his way to the opposite turnbuckle and leans against it as he now goes into warming up for the matchup.))
SG: You want to join a company and make a name for yourself? Call out a champion and make him prove it to you.
KV: Romero did that, but now he has to prove himself as well.
Jennifer Taylor: And his opponent… coming down the aisle… from Chicago, Illinois and weighing in at 186 pounds... DREWWWW DAVIESSSS!
(("Last Breath" begins as Drew Davies comes out of the curtain to the cheers of the audience. Drew looks out to the fans with a smile on his face before he taps his chest in a show of respect the the crowd before walking down to the ring, giving fives to everyone who reaches out. Davies rolls under the ring and climbs the nearest turnbuckles and holds his arms high to get the crowd more excited before jumping down.))
KV: Davies has earned himself victories over Jack Diamond and recently Jenson Idol here in #FSociety.
SG: Yeah, but also don’t forget he needed Dani Cabello’s help in that one.
KV: She wasn’t much help for him most of that match.
SG: Doesn’t change my point.
DING! DING! DING!!!
((The two men circle around each other and come in for a lockup. Romero twists Davies’ arm but Davies counters into a wringer of his own. Romero comes back with an arm drag takedown. Davies gets up in the corner and Romero stops to show off his forearm sleeve of tattoos. Davies nods his head as he approaches again and the two men lock up once more. They twist and turn in a collar and elbow tie up until Romero pushes Davies back into the corner. Davies spins them around but Romero ducks his head through the ropes. The referee forces a break and Romero takes the opportunity to catch Davies off guard with a punch to the face.))
SG: I love the attitude of this Silas Romero guy.
KV: Of course you’d be accepting of the guy punching someone in the face in a situation like that.
SG: Pretty much.
((Romero comes out of the corner and kicks Davies with a series of three kicks to the chest. He then throws him forward with a snapmare into a seated position. Romero hits the ropes and comes back with a running kick to the face of Drew Davies. He drops down and goes for an early cover.))
1…
((Davies gets his shoulder up right before the two. Romero quickly puts him in a rear chinlock. Romero tries to keep Davies down, but Davies extends his hands out and rallies the crowd. With the crowd support firmly behind him, Davies works his way up to a standing base and then drops down with a jawbreaker to Romero. Romero stays on his feet but bounces back into the corner. Davies charges in with a running European uppercut into the corner. He then jumps up and drops backwards, sending Romero overhead and down onto his back with a monkey flip. Davies stands up and throws a fist into the air, rallying the crowd again. Davies waits for Romero to get up and lines up for a shot. Romero turns around and Davies comes at him with a roaring elbow attempt. Romero ducks under it, jumps up, and takes Drew down with a leaping neckbreaker. Romero quickly pulls Davies up by the neck and drops him back down with a cravate suplex.))
KV: Davies had the crowd behind him, but he missed with the spinning elbow and Romero capitalized.
SG: That’s what you get for getting cocky.
KV: Let’s see what Silas can do with the momentum behind him now.
SG: I expect big things here.
((Romero pulls Davies up into a Dragon sleeper. Davies struggles in the hold and tries to figure his way out of the hold.))
SG: Come on golden boy. Tap.
KV: Drew Davies is trying to fight his way out of this.
((Davies finally is able to spin his way out of the hold and connects with an enzuigiri. It takes both men a few seconds to get up to their feet. They both start trading kicks in the middle of the ring. Romero connects with an enzuigiri of his own that knocks Davies back into the ropes. He charges forward but Davies ducks down and pulls the ropes down with him. Romero goes sailing over the top rope and to the outside. Davies gets back up to his feet and sees Romero standing up on the outside. He hits the opposite set of ropes and then comes back at Romero, leaping over the top rope and looking to hit him with a running senton. Romero moves out of the way just in time and Davies hits the barricade hard. Romero pulls Davies up and rolls him back into the ring.))
SG: That was ugly.
KV: That could be it.
((Silas Romero hooks Davies’ leg and goes for the cover.))
1…
2…
((Davies manages to kick out at two and Romero looks at the referee with a sense of shock. He pushes himself up and waves for Davies to get up. Drew eventually stands up and turns around, walking into a rolling elbow from Romero.))
KV: The GKFO!
SG: He got knocked the fuck out.
((Romero grabs Davies by the legs and then puts him in the Dungeon Lock in the middle of the ring.))
KV: He’s got Davies in The Dharma Initiative.
SG: He’s trapped.
KV: Drew Davies can’t escape. He’s in trouble.
((Davies struggles in the hold but eventually has to tap out when Silas yanks Davies arm back even further.))
DING! DING! DING!!!
Jennifer Taylor: Here is your winner by tap out… SILAS ROMEROOOO!!!
KV: Silas Romero with the submission victory over Drew Davies and Drew is really gripping his shoulder right now. I think he might be hurt.
SG: A big win for Romero. This guy is legit unlike Davies. If he’s hurt? Oh well!
KV: Drew Davies came in with a lot of prior success but Silas Romero was in charge of this one from the start. I hope Davies can recover!
((A video begins to play to highlight the debut of #FSociety’s newest signing, James Edwards. The video opens with a slow motion shot of a hooded James Edwards kneeling during his ring entrance. While strobe lights flicker, he raises his head with eyes staring ahead intently at whatever he is about to face.))
~~I’m feeling the way that I’m feeling myself
Fuck everyone else
Gotta remember that nobody is better than anyone else, here
(Do you need some time to think it over?)
Look what they do to you
Look what they do to me
Must be joking if you think that either one is free, here~~
((The next shot is of Edwards tapping out in his first ever match to Baz in Fight One, followed by a cut of former Universal Wrestling League World Champion Craig Williams kneeing him in the face. Then there is another flash of former Fight One Fury Champion Lyza Reyes pinning Edwards not once but twice.))
~~Get up off your knees, girl
Stand face to face with your God
And find out what you want
(Hello, my name is human)
Hello, my name is human
And I came down from the stars
(Hello, my name is human)~~
((The next shots are a few quick clips meshed together of Edwards after every one of those fights. They may have taken place in different places against vastly different enemies but they all have one thing in common: James picks himself up off the canvas without any assistance and walks away on his own volition.))
~~I’m ready for love and I’m ready for war
But I’m ready for more
I know that nobody’s ever been this fucking ready before, hey
(Do you need some time to think it over?)
So figure it out or don’t figure it out
I figured it out
The bigger the river (the bigger the river)
The bigger the drought (the bigger the drought)~~
((Edwards is seen facing off with his most heated rivals, Johnny AM in Fight One and Mark Smart in UWL. AM and Edwards meet in various backstage locations with James getting visibly more agitated in each Next are various clips of Mark Smart involving himself in a plethora of James’ matches.))
~~Get up off your knees, boy
Stand face to face with your God
And find out what you want
(Hello, my name is human)
Hello, my name is human
And I came down from the stars
(Hello, my name is human)
Fire world, I love you
Fire world
I’m up off my knees, girl
I’m face to face with myself
And I know who I am
(Hello, my name is human)
I stole my power from the sun
I’m more than just a man
(No longer disillusioned)~~
((Edwards and AM go to war in a Street Fight. Both men bleed. Edwards is pile driven through a table. He eventually gets the win with the debuting Violent Gospel. Flash ahead to Edwards and Smart in a cage. Smart uses a piece of the mesh fence to slice open Edwards’ skin. Edwards chokes him out in the end with the American Dead Lights.))
~~(I’m not asking questions)
(‘Cause questions have answers)
(And I don’t want answers)
I came down from the stars (so I’ll take my chances)
(And what are the chances)
(That I could advance)
(On my own circumstances)
(Said “what are the chances?”)
Hello, my name is human (and what are the chances?)
(I don’t want your answers)
(I’m not asking questions)
(So you keep your answers)
And I know who I am (so you keep your answers)

(I’m taking my chances)~~
((The video ends with Edwards getting his arm raised in victory and cradling various championship belts.))
((The scene cuts back into the arena and the crowd seems to have died down a bit when a guy in black jeans and an ‘A Day to Remember’ hoodie jumps the rail and grabs a mic sliding into the ring. Security goes to move but get called off at the last second. The guy’s head is down with the hood pulled up and no one can quite make out who it is. He reaches up and unzips the hoodie, taking it off revealing Alex Jones. The crowd pops and Alex smirks looking around before raising a mic to his lips.))
Alex Jones: Surprised?
((Alex paces around the ring before sliding his hand in the front pocket of his jeans.))
Alex Jones: A few months back many of you know I was supposed to come here, contract was signed… everyone was excited… all that jazz. Thing is my manager/tag team partner at the time decided she wanted to leave, she didn't want this life or this business and my then wife decided to pull my contract...
((Boos rain down and Alex nods and shrugs.))
Alex Jones: Hey I'm just as pissed as you guys… and I want to make this perfectly clear. I'm not here to deal with my ex wife's bullshit… I'm here for two reasons. One… to whoop Tyson Gregory's ass… and two… to get that #FSociety Championship. I'm not here to screw around and listen to immature gay jokes or jokes about my hair or what I would or wouldn't do with Julian Savell's umbrella. I am a world champion and a proven commodity. I don't care who I have to face back there… because in the end… you'll all fall.
((Alex drops the mic and steps onto the apron before dropping down and leaving through the crowd.))
Match Six: Non-Title Singles Match
Hutch Lanahan versus Zooey West-Jaa
KV: Coming up next we have the High Roller Champion, Hutch Lanahan, taking on the newcomer, Zoey West-Jaa!
SG: I got Zoey in this one. Her Muay Thai experience will put her over the edge.
KV: Don’t bet against Hutch, he has a habit of beating the odds!
SG: Luck runs out eventually.
Jennifer Taylor: This match is a Non-Title Match scheduled for one fall. Coming to the ring first… Hailing from Phucket, Thaliand and weighing in at 120 pounds… ZOEEEEY WEST-JAAAAAA!
((“Sit Still, Look Pretty” by Daya hits over the speakers as Zooey West-Jaa steps out onto the stage in a pair of long black wrestling tights and a Royal blue silk boxers robe, the hood up over her head and just down over her face. She rubs her taped hands together, cracking her knuckles as she walks down the ramp. Reaching up for the middle ropes she pulls herself onto the apron before pulling back with both hands on the top rope and jumping over the top to land in the ring with a small bounce on her toes. She continues to bounce back and forth on her toes a little as she sheds her robe and turns to face the ramp, awaiting her opponent.))
KV: Zoey doesn’t look nervous at all.
SG: Why would she be? She’s a fighter!
KV: I just figured she would have pre-match jitters.
SG: Are you kidding? She’s been fighting her whole life, she won’t have any jitters.
Jennifer Taylor : Making his way to the ring next... from Mevagissey, Cornwall and weighing in at 222 pounds... the #FSOCIETY HIGH ROLLER CHAMPIONNNN... HUTCH LANAHANNNN!!!
((“Hero" by Nas begins to play as Hutch Lanahan makes his way out to the stage. The #FSociety High Roller Championship is around his waist. Hutch looks around the arena for a moment before walking down to the ring with a serious look across his face. He climbs into the ring, holds up the title with both hands, passes it off to the referee, and waits for the match to begin.))
KV: The High Roller Champion looks prepared to continue his winning ways here tonight.
SG: Like I said before, his luck runs out tonight!
KV: We’ll see! These two had a war of words over the weeks and I’m excited to see what comes of this match up!
((Zooey jumps on the balls of her feet waiting for the bell to ring as Hutch looks her up and down watching her feet.))
DING! DING! DING!!!
((The bell rings and Zooey comes out in a traditional fighting stance. Hutch looks her up and down and then looks at the referee who tells him to go. Zooey snaps off a vicious lower leg kick that sends a loud slapping sound through the arena.))
SG: Did I just hear a thunder storm or was that kick that loud?
KV: Impressive. Let’s see how Hutch responds.
((She smirks and puts her arms out to the side telling Hutch to come on. He lunges at her trying to get ahold of Zooey. She circles and hits a low right kick, a middle left and then a high right roundhouse that clips Hutch enough that he stumbles to the ropes. Zooey again plays to the crowd and taunts Hutch. He comes out looking at her feet and Zooey throws her leg up and holds it there. Hutch stares at her foot and then Zooey lashes out using her forearm and elbow instead with a sweeping right catching him in the forehead.))
KV: We are seeing some creative striking here.
SG: This is fun to watch.
KV: I’m not sure it’s gotten to the stage of being fun for our High Roller Champion yet.
((Hutch shakes his head as Zooey again prances around pointing at her elbow this time. Hutch comes out of the corner and Zooey goes for another round house. This time Hutch ducks and grabs hold of Zooey, hitting a Russian leg sweep into the corner. The back of her head crashes against the top turnbuckle. Hutch pulls her up and goes for a release suplex, though Zooey is able to get out of it and slide under him. Hutch is able to grab her and tackle her down.))
KV: Hutch is trying to get control back of this one.
SG: He’s trying to use that power advantage, but speed is a dangerous thing.
((Hutch looks around and picks Zooey off the mat in a deadlift gutwrench slamming her down on her back. Hutch calls for his lariat and waits for Zooey to get up. As she does he spins and throws his arm. Zooey ducks under it and runs through before stopping and hitting the Pele kick right to Hutch’s face. He goes down hard and Zooey pops back to her feet.))
KV: He went for that Lanahan Lariat but she saw it coming.
SG: And he ate a kick to the face for his troubles.
((As Hutch gets to his knees Zooey steps in laying in some vicious roundhouse kicks to his chest, with each one leaving a read mark as she steps in harder and harder. Hutch though catches her leg on the last one and steps up. He throws her leg and Zooey spins hitting a dragon whip staggering Hutch. She then pops to her feet and runs to the ropes going for her tiger feint kick. She glances Hutch and he goes down. Zooey goes for cover.))

KV: Kickout!
SG: I thought that could have done it.
KV: I don’t think she landed as much of the kick as she wanted. The champion is still bringing the fight here in this one.
((Zooey slams her fist on the mat and steps up getting in the referee’s face to argue. She throws her hands in the air and then claps her hands three. Meanwhile Hutch moves closer. Zooey turns back to her opponent and reaches down to scoop him up. He reaches up and pulls Zooey back in a school boy pin. The referee is immediately in position for the cover.))

DING! DING! DING!!!
Jennifer Taylor: Here is your winner… HUTCH LANAHANNN!!!
((Hutch’s theme hits as he moves to the outside, getting handed his High Roller Championship.))
KV: I think Zooey West-Jaa got a little ahead of herself and Hutch Lanahan capitalized.
SG: I think the referee messed that one up.
KV: I think the real discussion is that Hutch kept his head together while West-Jaa let her frustrations cost her the match.
SG: I don’t think Zooey is ready to leave the ring.
KV: No, she’s still not happy about this one.
((Zooey pops to her feet and yells at the referee, shaking her head violently obviously in shock with what just happened, she moves to the side of the ring and throws her hand out demanding a microphone. Hutch’s music being cut as Zooey moves to the ropes closest to the ramp shaking her head.))
Zooey: What the hell was that?! Huh?! You call that a FIGHT?!
((She shakes her head again in disbelief and starts pacing up and down the ropes, pausing to look up the now empty ramp.))
Zooey: When I came here, I did so because I was told it was the home of the best. The ELITE. And what happens? I am thrown in the ring with some glorified bar-room brawler who is walking out of here with a TECHNICAL WIN!? Are you kidding me with this shite?!
((She begins to pace again, running a hand up and through her hair; pausing for a moment with a shake of her head before pacing once more, the frustration and anger apparent on her face.))
Zooey: Robb Hardy, ya better be listening to me real close right now… I don’t give a damn what the record books say; this was a god damn farce… And I am telling ya, clear as day in front of every single person here and watching at home; I will NOT step back into your ring until you can offer me a REAL fight…
((She leans over the top rope now, panting slightly as her temper flares.))
Zooey: Not a twat with a title; not some washed up has been… Nah,I want a REAL fight and until ya can give that to me… Ya can shove ya contract andal.
((Zooey throws the mic down to the canvas, before rolling down under the bottom rope. Making her way back up the ramp, She shakes her head and completely blanks the fans as she makes her way backstage.))
((The camera cuts backstage to showing Locke and Keyes knocked out on the ground. In spray paint, in various colors, is a message written on the ground around the two women. A metal pipe is also left on the ground beside Locke’s head.))
~~Leave the clowns alone~~
~~CHAOS ensues~~
((The scene then switches back to inside the arena with Khristina and Samuel.))
KV: It looks like the clowns have attacked again.
SG: I think they made their message perfectly clear. Don’t mess around with them and whatever game they are playing.
KV: Locke and Keyes wanted to get involved even though Robb Hardy warned them to stay out of it.
SG: Consequences.
Match Seven: Singles Match
Tyson Gregory versus Gray Malone
KV: This is the first match for Tyson Gregory since his devastating loss to Adrien Cochrane at Turmoil.
SG: This is a great rebound match for him.
KV: A rebound?
SG: Yeah.
KV: I don’t think Gray Malone is coming into this to be a rebound. He has something to prove tonight.
Jennifer Taylor: Making his way to the ring first... weighing in at 225 pounds from Chesapeake, Virginia… GRAY MALONEEEEE!!!
((The lights go out, leaving the arena in darkness. The shadow of an Angel is on the screen as “Cut Me Loose” by Killswitch Engage plays. A lone spotlight shines on the entranceway, as Gray Malone stands there, bathed in the light. He then walks down to the ring, as the spotlight stays only on him. He slides in the ring, stands in the middle of it, and looks around at the people all around him as the arena lights come back on.))
SG: Gray has a real shot to prove himself here tonight
KV: For once I agree with you. He can really make an impact.
SG: It is up to him.
Jennifer Taylor: And his opponent… weighing in at 221 pounds… He is the pride of London, England … TYSONNNNNN GREGORYYYY!!!!
((The lights in the arena fade out as the big screen comes alive. Two taped fists appear on opposite sides of the screen, one glowing red with fire around it, the other a pulsating blue with an electrical current running over it. The two fists then crash into each other with an explosion revealing the name Tyson Gregory in their aftermath. "Phenomenal" by Eminem starts playing throughout the arena as a bright spotlight shines at the top of the ramp. Tyson Gregory then steps out through the curtain with his head lowered and covered in a black hooded and a sleeveless zip up hoodie. Tyson flips his head up and the hood drops off his head as he makes his way down the ramp completely ignoring the fans. Once at the ring he pulls himself up on the apron where he leaps over the top rope and into the ring. He paces for a moment before settling in his corner where he takes off the hoodie and waits for the match to begin.))
SG: I don’t envy Gray in this one. Tyson looks focused.
KV: I am not Gregory’s biggest fan but he is dangerous.
SG: That is what I am saying; I wouldn’t want to be facing him right now.
KV: You wouldn’t want to face anyone.
DING! DING! DING!!!
((The match starts off with Tyson going straight in for a takedown. Gray is able to step out of the way but can’t connect with a counter as Gregory is already out of the way and on his face. The two test each other out for a few circles around the ring and then come together in a collar and elbow tie up. Gray comes out of the tie up with a standing armbar. Tyson ducks underneath reversing the hold into a hammerlock. Gray ducks underneath with a hammerlock of his own. Malone then floats the hammerlock into a standing side headlock. Tyson backs into the ropes and pushes Malone across the ring. Gray comes off the other ropes and gets met by Tyson with a shoulder block taking him to the ground.))
SG: Back and forth action to this point.
KV: Both men are feeling each other out.
SG: Sounds kinky.
KV: Only to people with dirty minds like you.
((Gray gets to his feet quickly as Tyson mocks him. Malone charges going for a clothesline that Tyson ducks. Tyson hits the ropes and comes off charging Gray who turns around and ducks a clothesline from Tyson in return. Tyson puts on the breaks and turns around catching a Pele kick from Malone. Gregory hits the mat and rolls outside of the ring shaking his head. Malone gets onto the middle turnbuckle and mocks Gregory who justs waves his hands at Malone and continues to take his time on the outside.))
SG: This is what makes Tyson so smart... roll outside and regroup.
KV: Malone caught him with that Pele kick.
((Gregory screams at the ref to back up Gray. The ref does and Tyson rolls into the ring. Gregory gets to his feet and signals for Malone to come at him. Malone comes towards Tyson who hits him with an arm drag takedown. Malone pops up and catches another arm drag for his trouble. Tyson floats the arm drag into a kneeling arm bar onto Gray. Gray taps his shoulders a few times and forces himself to his feet. Tyson tries to force Malone back to the ground but gets hip tossed. Tyson gets to his feet quickly and catches a rushing Malone lifting him up into a fireman’s carry. Malone is wiggling like a worm on a fishing hook trying to get off the hold. Tyson throws him up bringing him down in a modified chokeslam out of the carry. Tyson goes for the cover.))

KV: Kick out by Malone!
SG: Gregory surprised him with that move.
((Tyson pulls Malone up by the hair, catching a fist in the gut for his trouble. Malone backs into the ropes and comes off landing a spear on Gregory. Tyson grabs his midsection and rolls around on the mat from the impact. Gray takes a quick second to gather himself as he gets to his feet. He makes his way over to Tyson and picks him up. Gregory throws a punch that Malone blocks and counters with a stiff right of his own. The punch rocks Gregory backward into the corner. Malone goes for a big splash but Tyson moves out of the way. Gregory points to his head as he walks away from the corner. Gregory turns around and catches a kick in the gut from Gray who comes out of the corner quickly. Malone then nails the former champ with a T-bone suplex. Malone goes for the cover.))
SG: Gregory wasn’t ready for that, it isn’t fair.
1…

KV: Kickout! There wasn’t an illegal thing about that!
SG: You need to get your eyes checked.
((Both men are quick to their feet. Gregory is a bit quicker though and nails Malone with a spinning heel kick sending Malone into the ropes. Malone comes off as Tyson picks him up on his shoulders then lifts him off connecting with a kick to the face. Malone hits the mat and rolls from the impact to the outside of the ring. Gregory hops a few time as he looks Gray who is slowly getting to his feet. Tyson hits the far ropes and dives through the ropes with a suicide dive nailing Gray and sending him into the barricade. Tyson gets to his feet and rolls Malone into the ring. Tyson goes for the cover. But Malone quickly kicks out. Gregory picks up Malone who explodes up with a uppercut rocking Tyson back into the ropes. Tyson comes back as Malone picks him up and hits a spinning brainbuster hooking the legs of the former champion.))

SG: NO! It will take more than that to put away Tyson.
KV: Malone is really taking it to him though.
SG: Tyson has been toying with him so far you will see.
((Malone picks up Tyson and whips him into a corner. Gray charges and goes for a spear in the corner. However, at the last second though Gregory is able to move sending Malone into the ring post shoulder first. Malone stumbles out as Tyson grabs him head first as he climbs to the top rope sitting down. Gregory then picks up Gray and jumps of hitting him with a sitting powerbomb from the middle rope.))
SG: Gregory might have just killed him.
KV: Why isn’t he covering him?
SG: He landed awkwardly.
((Tyson takes a bit of time but is finally able to make the cover.))
1…

KV: Thr… No. Kickout!
SG: This match should be over.
KV: Tyson didn’t move fast enough.
((Gregory slams the mat with his fist in frustration and picks up Malone. Gray explodes up, rocking Gregory back. Then Malone kicks Gray in the gut and nails him with a stunner.))
KV: The beheading.
SG: That sounds bad for Tyson.
KV: Malone goes for the cover.

((Gregory gets his foot on the bottom rope making the ref stop his count. Malone doesn’t waste his time as he picks up Tyson and sets him up for a power bomb. Malone lifts him in the air. Tyson keeps the momentum going though and rolls over Malone landing in a somersault and popping up to his feet. Malone turns around and catches a kick to the gut. Then get’s hit with a lifting single underhook DDT.))
KV: The End Of Your Sorrow.
SG: Just like that all of Gray’s momentum is over.
KV: So might the match.
((Tyson quickly goes for the pin hooking the far leg.))

DING! DING! DING!!!
Jennifer Taylor: Here is your winner… TYSON GREGORYYY!!!
((Tyson’s music hits as the referee raises his hand in victory.))
KV: This was a much needed victory for the former #FSociety Champion.
SG: That’s what I wanted to see.
KV: Tyson will be in next week’s main event as part of the Lethal Lottery Trios Tournament to determine future title contenders.
SG: I think he is owed a rematch and shouldn’t have to go through all of this.
KV: You may be right, but this is the course he is set on. We will see…
((Tyson’s music is cut out as the big screen flickers into life. Robb Hardy’s office fills the screen. Sitting on his desk with one leg draped other the other is Allyson Morrow. She smirks slightly and waves her fingers on her right hand.))
Ally: HI GRAY!
((Ally holds her finger up for a second and pulls a coy smile with a small shrug.}}
Ally: Sorry for the interruption GG but I am sure you’ll understand… Hey, Gray… You know what this is?
((She holds up a contract; tilting her head slightly as she looks at it, then back at the camera with a fake shocked expression. She throws her free hand over her mouth and laughs slightly behind it as she screws her nose up slightly.))
Ally: This, Mr. Malone is a one night only contact; signed by yours truly… See, you wanted to run your mouth all over social media about respect; you went on and on about how to be the best you have to beat the best and well… Even in your sorry… SORRY loss, you still think you’re the best… Right?
((She nods her head slowly obviously with sarcastic encouragement.))
Ally: Well, it doesn’t really matter WHAT you think to be honest Gray, because the ink is already dry and on the next edition of Anarchy; you and I will go head to head right in the middle of that ring you’re standing in right now...
((She points towards the camera obviously indicating at him.))
Ally: I’d tell you to get used to that losing feeling you have right now but, well… You already are right?
((She shrugs again with another laugh, slamming the contact down on the desk. She pushes herself up off of it with a small jump landing on her feet.))
Ally: I’ll be seeing you very, very soon Gray…
((She winks at the camera before walking past it and out of the shot, and the scene cuts backstage.))
((The camera cuts to the hallway outside one of the locker room doors, as Damon Graves leans against the wall opposite the door, dressed in his ring gear. Normally, he and Aurora would share a locker room, but since they were on opposite sides, she opted to change elsewhere. Respectful of his fiancée’s decision, he eyes the door nervously, letting out a deep breath as he moves to knock. He knocks on the door, taking a step back as he waits for an answer. The door opens, and Aurora Knight stands in the doorway, dressed for a fight.))
Damon: I didn’t hear you come into the room last night...
Aurora: That’s because I slept in the pullout bed. You were already snoring; I didn’t want to wake you up. Besides...
Damon: I know. Don’t want anyone accusing you of “sleeping with the enemy.” It’s just that it was kinda weird sleeping alone last night.
Aurora: Weird for me, too. But look on the bright side. After tonight, we go back to normal. Or at least, what passes as normal for us.
((Damon chuckles, then looks at his bride to be, who has a slight smirk on her face. There’s an awkward pause as they both glance around the hallway. To break the silence, Damon clears his throat.))
Damon: So Harley, I...
Aurora: You don’t have to say anything. Just be ready to go out there and do what we do best. Fight.
Damon: Right. So, I guess I’ll see you in a few minutes.
((He leans in for a quick kiss, but Aurora puts a hand up to block him. As he pulls back, she shakes her head.))
Aurora: No, Puddin’. Not until after this is over.
Damon: Right. Just promise me one thing... whoever wins tonight...
Aurora: Will have the support of the other for as long as one of us is involved in this tournament. That was never in question. But as far as tonight goes, until that bell rings, you’re one of my opponents, and I don’t kiss my opponents. So...
Damon: I can take a hint. I’ll see you later, Harley.
((Aurora gives him a quick wink before shutting the door, leaving Damon in the hallway, shaking his head and smirking.))
((The scene cuts backstage to Daniela Cabello standing by with a microphone in hand and a smile on her face.))
Daniela Cabello: I received news earlier in the night that Drew Davies shoulder has been dislocated from his match with Silas Romero. It appeared to have happened when Silas Romero had Drew locked in the Dharma Initiative. This now leaves the team of Tyson Gregory and Cass Baumer in the Trios Tournament down a man.
((Dani pauses and lets that statement sink in.))
Daniela Cabello: Well, that’s what you would think if it were Tim Anderson reporting to you. But I’m an amazing reporter and I have the official scoop for who Drew Davies’ replacement is!!
((A huge smile runs over Dani’s face as she withholds the information.))
Daniela Cabello: Drew Davies’ replacement is none other than the Honor Heavyweight Champion… Alex Jones!!! What a pick up for Tyson Gregory and Cass Baumer! The team of Queenie, Hutch and Fiona should have their hands full in two weeks! With that being said, back to you at ringside!
Main Event: Lethal Lottery Trios Match
Seth Lawless/Amber Richards/Damon Graves versus Aurora Knight/Corey Bull/Diem Masters
KV: What an announcement by Dani Cabello! Alex Jones is making his #FSociety debut in the Lethal Lottery Trios Tournament in two weeks!
SG: Good! I hated that Drew Davies kid and I knew he wouldn’t make it! His win against Jenson was a fluke!
KV: I liked him! Anyway, it’s main event time.
SG: This one should be interesting.
KV: Robb Hardy has created this four team Lethal Lottery Trios Tournament to help determine title challengers at our next supershow Insurrection.
SG: I don’t know what to do. I love people on all of these teams.
KV: Maybe just… I don’t know… call it down the middle. Just once.
SG: You keep saying that to me like it means something.
Jennifer Taylor: This match is a Lethal Lottery Trios Tournament match. Coming to the ring, weighing in at 210 pounds and hailing from Detroit, Michigan… He is the new Anarchy Champion... SETH LAWLESSSSS!
((“This is the Time” by Nothing More blares over the PA system. The lights go off and when the opening guitar riff plays a man blasts through the curtains. It is Seth Lawless. He steps out with the Anarchy Title held high in the air and he looks at the fans. He shakes his head at the top of the ramp and then heads down the ramp towards the ring. He looks out at the crowd one last time and looks dismissively at them before sliding into the ring and holding up his title again. He passes off his title to the referee and waits for the rest of the competitors in the match.))
KV: Seth Lawless is one of three champions in this match after having beaten Ash Scion for the Anarchy Championship.
SG: That was a cool match.
KV: We’ve seen Lawless in a six person TLC Match, a Tornado Tag Team Match, and then a Tables Match, so he might be most prepared of anyone for this unique pairing tonight.
Jennifer Taylor: Coming to the ring next... weighing in at 140 pounds from Norwich, England... "The Gypsy Rose"... AMBER RICHARDS!!!
(("Everything That Could of Been" by Kittie blasts on the PA system, the lyrics rolling out. As the song explodes after the first verse Amber Richards makes her way out with her black hair flowing down as she throws her head back and lets out a laugh. Amber makes her way down to the ring. She runs and slides on her knee across the apron before resting her body against the ropes as the music fades out.))
KV: It will be interesting to see how Amber and Seth work together, as Amber earned herself a future shot at Lawless’ title.
SG: We know Lawless is nothing but a professional, so I know he will be fine.
KV: Everybody involved in this one needs to remember that title shots are on the line in this tournament.
Jennifer Taylor: And their partner... weighing in at 218 pounds from Inglewood, California... one half of the #FSociety Tag Team Champions... DAMON GRAVESSSS!!!
((As "Dirty Angel" by Voodoo Johnson begins to play over the sound system, Damon Graves steps out onto the stage holding onto his #FSociety Tag Team Championship. The camera pulls in tight on his face, where he cocks his head to the left, raises his right eyebrow, and brings his fists together, knuckles out, so that the letters tattooed on his fingers are prominently display: STAY DOWN. Bringing his hands down, he takes his time getting to the ring. Once he gets there he wraps his arm around the ring post, with his elbow resting on the bottom turnbuckle. After scanning the crowd, he rolls under the bottom rope to enter the ring.))
KV: Here are the first of our two Tag Team Champions in this match.
SG: Robb Hardy has a real sense of humor putting these two against each other.
KV: It was fate. This was a Lethal Lottery and completely at random.
SG: You think I’m dumb enough to believe that?
KV: Fate put all of these teams together but six people will determine who comes out on top tonight.
Jennifer Taylor: And their opponents... weighing in at 130 pounds and from Long Beach, California... she is one half of the #FSociety Tag Team Champions... AURORA KNIGHTTTT!!!
((The arena lights go out as the intro to "Cinnamon Girl - Extended Depression Mix" by Type O Negative begins to play over the sound system. A blood red light shines on the stage as fog slowly rolls in. As the guitar riff kicks in, Aurora Knight emerges on the stage, standing on the top of the entrance ramp as red light floods the entire arena with her Tag Title around her waist. She throws her arms out, triggering an explosion of red pyro from the ceiling. As strobe lights flash, she then makes her way down the ramp in time to the music, then climbs up the ring steps onto the apron. She then stands facing the outside of the ring, places one foot on the bottom rope, grabs the top rope and backflips into the ring as the house lights come back on. She moves to her corner of the ring, takes her title off, and looks across the ring sharing a smile with Damon.))
KV: I wonder what happens if Damon and Aurora end up in the ring together.
SG: I hope they will go at it.
KV: I think they will. I think they have respect for what is at stake here.
Jennifer Taylor: Coming to the ring next… Weighing in at 150 pounds and hailing from Chicago, Illinois… DIEM MASTERSSSSS!
((The lights turn to a reddish color in the arena, as the starting instruments of "Bloody Creature Poster Girl" by In This Moment start playing. From the back walks out Diem Masters. She stops at the top of the ramp and she looks out at the crowd. She cracks her neck a few times before starting to walk down the ramp. She gets to the ring and climbs the stairs, getting on the apron. She wipes her feet, as she climbs into the ring, heading for her corner. She stands by Aurora Knight and waits for things to start.))
KV: Diem is the least experienced in this match, but she ends up on the best possible team to help her in this fight.
SG: Once again, Robb Hardy played favorites and put Corey Bull with Diem and his former partner Aurora.
KV: Like I already said, these teams were made completely randomly.
SG: Sure.
Jennifer Taylor: And finally… weighing 385 pounds from The Great Northwoods… COREYYYY BULLLLL!!!
((A sweet sound, like a symphony starts as "Veritas" by Kamelot plays. The lights go dark and people start to use their cellphones to see. 26 seconds into the sweet sound, it becomes a rock sound, like a marching soldier. A symbol appears on the screen, a buzzard in front of two crossed axes, as a spotlight shines down on the dark hero that is Corey Bull and the crowd erupts into cheers. His logger chain rests on his shoulder as he walks to the ring, the spotlight follows him and the music continues to play.))
KV: Corey Bull looked impressive in a Street Fight against his rival Renee Pleasant at Turmoil.
SG: That was another great match.
KV: In fact, all six of these competitors were victorious at Turmoil. They have earned the right to be in line for some future title shots.
((Aurora Knight and Amber Richards stay in the ring to open up the match. The referee rings for the bell.))
DING! DING! DING!!!
((Aurora and Amber come right at each other and lock up. They spin around, trading positions, until Amber backs Aurora into the corner. Amber drops down and starts throwing her shoulder into Aurora’s midsection with three consecutive shots. Aurora spins her around by the arm and follows it up with a back elbow to the side of Amber’s head. Aurora pulls her out of the corner by the arm and whips her across the ring. Richards hits the turnbuckles but gets a boot up, catching Aurora in the face as she charges in. Aurora stumbles back a few steps and Amber connects with a jumping calf kick.))
KV: These two women are not afraid to hit each other.
SG: We saw them fight over the Tag Team Titles a month ago and nothing has slowed down between them.
((Amber Richards heads over to her corner and smiles as she tags Damon Graves in. Damon slowly steps through the ropes while Aurora Knight gets up to her feet.))
KV: This is interesting that we are getting to this point already.
SG: I love it. Aurora versus Damon.
KV: Let’s see what these fiancés and champions will do against each other.
((Aurora takes a second and pops Damon in the face with a forearm shot. Graves holds his jaw and smiles back at her. He throws a right hand back but Aurora blocks it and hits him with a knee to the body. She keeps kneeing Damon back into the ropes before sending him across the ring with an Irish whip. Graves comes back and leaps at her with a flying shoulder block. Aurora gets sent down and rolls back towards her corner. Corey Bull reaches over and tags himself in.))
KV: Aurora made it clear she would go at Damon Graves. I wasn’t sure what he would do, but he dropped her there.
SG: Now let’s see what Corey Bull can do against Graves.
((Graves goes right after Bull as he steps over the top rope. He starts drilling him with forearms, but Bull pushes him back. Graves comes back with a dropkick that sends Bull back into his corner. Graves rushes in for a splash into the corner, but Diem Masters pulls Corey out of the way. Graves slams front first into the corner and then gets scooped up from behind and thrown over with a release German suplex. Bull then drops down on him with a jumping knee drop. He scoops Graves up onto his shoulder and then drops him face first onto the top turnbuckle in his own corner. Graves hits his face and bounces back into the ring. Corey Bull tags Diem Masters in. Diem comes in and kicks at Graves a few times while he tries to pull himself up. She hooks him around the head but he connects with a short elbow to her midsection. He backs off and uses the ropes, coming forward with some momentum, only to be hit with a big boot to the face from Masters. Graves stays on his feet and bounces off the ropes again. Diem swings and misses with a lariat. Graves ducks under the shot, hits the ropes, and comes back with a flying European uppercut that leaves them both on the mat.))
KV: Graves needs the tag.
SG: He took some shots from everybody on the other team.
KV: Seth Lawless looks eager to get in this one.
((Graves reaches up and tags Lawless in while Diem tags Aurora Knight back in.))
KV: Here comes the Anarchy Champion up against one of the Tag Team Champions.
SG: I want to see this.
((Lawless and Aurora charge in at each other and trade strikes back and forth. Lawless connects with a spinning back heel kick to Aurora’s midsection. He then pushes her back into the ropes. She comes back at him and she lifts him into the air for a pop up powerbomb. Aurora goes over Lawless and lands back on her feet. She then hits a front handspring into the ropes and comes back at Lawless with a back elbow smash as he turns back around.))
KV: Seth went for Detroit is Burning early there and missed.
SG: Way too early, my man.
KV: Aurora countered with a beautiful handspring back elbow there.
((Aurora hooks Seth around the head and pulls him over to her corner. Diem Masters tags back in and kicks Lawless in the ribs.))
KV: The team of Aurora, Bull, and Masters, who have some history together, has been working quite efficiently early on this one.
((Diem holds Lawless and drills him with a headbutt. Lawless stays on his feet and gets knocked back into the ropes with a Bionic elbow. She starts blasting away at Lawless with repeated knees to the ribs. Diem then sends him across the ring with an Irish whip and follows him into the ropes. Lawless bounces off the ropes and Masters comes in back from behind with a clothesline to the back of the head. She turns him over, hooks a leg, and goes for the cover.))
1…

((Lawless kicks out at two, with Damon Graves ready to dive in to break it up but not needing to. Diem tags Corey Bull back in. Bull approaches Lawless and pulls him up around the head. He tries to lift him up for a brainbuster, but Lawless hits him with a knee on the way up and lands back on his feet. Lawless tries to turn things around for a suplex of his own but he can’t get him all the way up. Corey lifts Lawless up for a suplex but Lawless floats over and lands directly behind him. Seth then jumps up and hooks in a deep sleeper hold on Corey Bull.))
KV: This is how you take down a giant.
SG: Corey Bull won’t go down easy.
KV: Seth Lawless better be prepared for a ride, because Bull has to try and escape this.
((Bull slams back but ends up doing so into Seth’s corner. Amber Richards tags in while Lawless still holds onto Bull. Richards heads across the ring and then charges in, connecting with a running single leg dropkick. Lawless lets go of Bull and heads out of the ring while Bull stays on his feet. Amber tags Damon Graves in. Graves hits a basement dropkick to Bull’s knee and sends him to his hands and knees on the mat. Graves quickly tags Seth Lawless back in. Lawless waits for Bull to lift his head up a bit more and then connects with a running kick to the side of the head. He rolls Bull over and goes for the cover.))
KV: The Boom Run.
SG: They just lit Corey Bull up with kicks.

((Diem Masters comes in and breaks up the pin. Amber Richards is quickly in the ring as well and starts hitting Masters with some punches that back her into the corner. Aurora Knight is next in the ring and she takes Seth Lawless down with a superkick. Damon Graves comes in and gets in the face of Aurora.))
KV: This is breaking down quickly.
SG: And now we’re left with Damon and Aurora as chaos ensues around them.
((Graves pushes Aurora back and she comes back at him with a right hand. He blocks her punch this time around and catches her with a kick to the midsection. He hits the ropes but Corey Bull steps in the way and drops him with a huge body block as he comes back at Knight. Seth Lawless charges at Bull and takes them both over the top rope with a clothesline up against the ropes. Amber Richards comes out of the corner and hits Aurora with a running jumping knee. She then grabs her by the hair and throws her into the mat face first. Diem grabs Amber from behind and bulldogs her into the mat. She then lifts her up into the air and puts her in a Canadian backbreaker rack.))
KV: The Creature Breaker!
SG: That doesn’t look comfortable.
KV: No, it doesn’t.
((Damon Graves connects with a side kick to Diem’s midsection that causes her to drop Richards off her shoulder. He gets in position and looks about ready for a sunset flip powerbomb but Corey Bull helps to keep Diem from being flipped over as he grabs her hands. Aurora then gets back into the action and hits Graves with a scissors kick to the back of his head.))
KV: Graves looked for Stay Down but a team effort allowed Aurora to hit Nighty-Knight! instead. That could be it.
SG: She took his head off.
KV: Aurora is looking for the pin.
((Aurora turns Graves over and hooks his leg for the cover.))

((Seth Lawless dives in at the last possible second to break up the pin. Corey Bull gets up on the apron and Lawless knocks him off. He turns around and gets kicked in the midsection by Diem Masters. Aurora and Diem work together and throw Lawless over with a double suplex. Amber Richards gets back in the mix and takes out Diem with a flying crossbody block that takes both of them out of the ring underneath the bottom rope. Aurora hooks Seth by the legs and then reaches back and pulls up at his neck, putting the Muta Lock in place.))
KV: She’s got him with The Rebel Yell.
SG: That’s locked in tight.
KV: Will Lawless tap?
SG: I hope not. Come on Seth.
((Damon Graves drops down with an elbow drop onto Aurora Knight and breaks up the submission hold. He gets up and turns around into the hands of Corey Bull who lifts him up and slams him down with a chokeslam. Bull lifts Lawless up off the mat and chokeslams him down. Amber Richards gets up on the apron and Bull turns his attention to her, grabbing her by the throat and lifting her up over the top rope.))
KV: Corey likes his chokeslams in threes.
SG: It would be amazing to watch him take out all three in a row.
((Bull lifts Amber up for another chokeslam but she kicks at him and he lets her go. Aurora charges at her with a bicycle kick but Amber moves out of the way, causing her to hit Bull instead. Diem pulls Amber out of the ring by the legs and then tosses her into the barricade. Inside the ring, Lawless hits Aurora from behind and then kicks Bull out of the ring. He then pulls Aurora back up and tosses her into the ropes before connecting with a pop up powerbomb in the middle of the ring. Diem rolls back into the ring and hits Lawless with a superkick that sends him back into the corner. Diem turns around and walks into a reverse STO from Damon Graves. He then pulls Diem up into position and Lawless comes out of the corner with another kick to the head.))
KV: A second Detroit is Burning!
SG: That’s a knockout blow if I’ve ever seen one.
((Amber Richards slides back into the ring and pushes in between Lawless and Graves to go for the cover on Diem.))

DING! DING! DING!!!
Jennifer Taylor: Here are your winners and advancing to the Finals of the Lethal Lottery Trios Tournament… SETH LAWLESS… DAMON GRAVES… and AMBER RICHARDS!!!
((Amber’s music hits and the referee tries to raise all of their hands. Amber and Damon don’t oblige by grabbing each other’s arms. Seth Lawless takes his Anarchy Championship and quickly heads up the ramp.))
KV: So the team of Amber Richards, Damon Graves, and Seth Lawless survive tonight in a tightly fought match.
SG: I like this team. Two champions and a Number One Contender. And they could earn themselves shots at even more titles.
KV: This could be interesting if they can work together for one more match.
SG: I don’t know if some of these guys can even make it a few more minutes together.
((Aurora Knight comes in and hands Damon Graves his Tag Team Title. Amber Richards is still standing in the middle of the ring with them. All of a sudden, Gray Malone slides into the ring and stands between all of them. He starts talking to Amber and then to Aurora. He points at all of them and Aurora nods her head. Damon makes a similar motion and the group of four exits the ring together.))
KV: What was that about?
SG: I don’t know, but Gray Malone might have just helped to orchestrate a new supergroup.
KV: We’ve seen a lot tonight in the fallout from Turmoil. We’ve got one team of three moving closer to earning themselves some very important title shots at Insurrection and now possibly an alliance even bigger than that.
SG: I want to know more. Tell me now.
KV: We will see you in two weeks for another Anarchy and the continuation of the Lethal Lottery Trios Tournament.
