Survival of the Sickest - January 27, 2014
Announcer: And now, the Blazenwing Wrestling Federation, in association with the KeyArena in Seattle, Washington, presents... SURVIVAL OF THE SICKEST 2014!!!
The camera cuts from the intro to the arena in Seattle, where a massive pyro show goes off on the stage. After it ends, the camera zooms around the ring, highlighting the many fans in attendance before finally settling on the BWF announce team of Nick Webb and Rayne.
Nick Webb: The first pay-per-view event of 2014 for the BWF is officially on the air! Welcome to Seattle... it's time for Survival of the Sickest!
Rayne: There's three championships on the line tonight, but none perhaps as anticipated as our main event. The Hell in a Cell structure is dangling precariously above the ring here, and tonight, three determined individuals will step inside the devil's playground with one goal in mind; leaving this arena as the Undisputed BWF World Champion.
Nick Webb: That's later tonight, but right now, let's take it to the ring for our opening contest! It's the impressive Alex Richards versus the returning Elizabeth Davis... and that match starts now!
DING DING DING!!!
Scott Benjamin: Ladies and gentlemen, the following is your opening contest for Survival of the Sickest 2014 and it is scheduled for ONE fall! Introducing first, she hails from Kingston, Ontario, Canada... weighing in tonight at 122 pounds... she is the Disney Princess... she is ELIZABETH DAVIS!!!
Used to be your baby, used to be your lady
Thought you were the perfect lover
All the harmony went fallin' out of key, so
Now you gotta find another
Now you're talkin' crazy, sayin' that you made me
Like I was your Cinderella
You and me are through though, watch me hit it solo
I'mma do it acapella, yeah
"Acapella" by Karmen plays throughout the arena as Liz Davis makes her way out to the ring. She flips her hair back as she brushes past the fans cheering or booing her. Walking up the steps, she gets in the ring under the middle rope, walking around the ring, waving to the crowd despite their reactions.
Nick Webb: Elizabeth Davis making her in-ring return here to the BWF, a great opening contest here Rayne.
Rayne: Hmm? Sorry, I was too busy looking...I mean, being happy to see Elizabeth back in action.
Scott Benjamin: And her opponent, he hails from Detroit, Michigan... weighing in tonight at 231 pounds... he is ALEX RICHARDS!!!
"National Disgrace" by Atmosphere hits the BlazenTron and Alex Richards walks out onto the stage. The fans boo as Richards makes his way down to the ring and walks around the ring once before pulling himself up onto the apron. Richards slips between the first and second rope, and then paces around the ring, awaiting the start of the match.
Nick Webb: Alex Richards has been making waves since he debuted here and I’m sure he’d like nothing more than a win here tonight!
Rayne: Of course he wants a win, what a dumb thing to say Nick.
Nick Webb: Don’t start... not this early anyway.
DING!
The bell rings and Liz starts the match off with a knife-edge chop. Richards reels back from the attack, returns fire with a stiff knee to the gut. Grabbing her in a waist lock, he rams Liz into the turnbuckle. Liz blocks an attempt at knee strikes, catching Alex's leg and spinning him around and whacking him with a stiff elbow to the back of the head. Liz plants him into the mat with a stiff knee of her own to the back of the head. Liz goes to pick him up, and Alex rakes the eyes to regain control. Richards rolls to his feet and pulls Liz into a headscissors, but Liz drops out of it and tackles Alex to the mat, unleashing rights and lefts before he grabs the ropes to force a break.
Nick Webb: Elizabeth looking good so far in her return.
Rayne: Yes... she is.
Nick Webb: I meant she doesn’t appear to have any ring rust.
Rayne: Huh? Oh yeah, that too.
Back to their feet, the go for a collar and elbow tie up, but Alex wins quickly and locks in a side-headlock. Liz powers out of it with some nice elbows, and then runs the ropes right into a double armed chop. Alex follows up with a Yakuza kick and another side headlock. Liz pushes the two of them to their feet, and pushes Alex off, but he holds on and drags her back to the mat. This continues on two more times until Liz manages to squirm out of the hold. Richards turns around and falls to the mat from a knife-edge chop. He stands up and it's on as the two of them start to wail on each other with stiff chops and kicks that are heard throughout the arena.
Rayne: Both of these competitors know how important this match is Nick.
Nick Webb: It’s looking like whomever is most aggressive will get the win here.
Richards hits another boot, but Liz turns from the attack and floors him with a leaping heel kick. Liz takes over with more strikes, but Richards runs the ropes from one attack and flies over Liz for a sunset flip... and Liz just slaps Richards hard. Alex gets to his feet and Liz connects with a perfect dropkick to Alex’s face! Liz drops to the mat and applies a chinlock of her own, but Richards goes to the corner and pushes them up. Liz hits a few kicks, but Alex slaps the teeth right out of her mouth. Liz claps a bit, and turns around, hitting a spinning kick to the face. Alex ducks a Yakuza kick from Liz and tosses Liz back in the corner, and then lights her up with chops, just irritating her. Liz returns the slap, and Alex responds by stomping on her head in brutal fashion.
Nick Webb: What a brutal kick by Alex Richards!
Rayne: Remember, Elizabeth has a history with concussions.
Richards hits a backbreaker and follows it up with a fall away slam for 2. Liz escapes a waist lock but turns around to eat a dropkick. She runs into a pair of hard boots but finally hits a desperation powerslam to get back into it. Liz starts to get her fighting spirit as she hits a pair of clotheslines, a vertical suplex and a flying lariat for 2. Liz goes for the Clock Strikes Midnight (Trouble in Paradise) early, but Richards ducks to the ropes early and uses Liz's momentum to send her to the apron. Richards elbows her in the gut as she gets up and suplexes her back in the ring for 2. Richards gets back to his feet, throws Liz into the corner, hits a corner clothesline, discus clothesline, and a backdrop backbreaker, but still only gets a 2. With Liz still down, Alex goes to the top rope to try for his Diving leg drop bulldog, but Davis is able to roll out of the way leaving Alex to crash to the mat. She goes to the apron and leaps over quickly hitting her Do a Barrel Roll (Slingshot Senton from apron to prone in-ring opponent) for 2.
Rayne: Both competitors going for the win here Nick, what a great way to open up the show!
Nick Webb: Yeah, this is just the beginning of the action tonight!
Liz gets to her feet first, sending a few stomps down on Alex as he tries to get up, but before he can fully get vertical, Liz whips him into the far ropes, waiting for him to rebound for a clothesline, but Alex ducks under it to hit the ropes behind her at full speed, but as he approaches her she spins in midair and connects with her Clock Strikes Midnight (Trouble in Paradise)! The crowd pops, at least those that enjoy Liz, but she doesn’t go for the cover, instead she grabs his leg and spins around, falling back and locking in her Maple Leaf Lock (Figure 4 Leg Lock)! She applies as much pressure as she can, and even though Alex is fighting to get to the ropes, he has to tap out to the pain.
DING DING DING!!!
Scott Benjamin: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner as the result of a submission... ELIZABETH DAVIS!!!
"Acapella" by Karmen plays throughout the arena as Liz Davis breaks the submission and rolls to her feet. She holds her head with one hand and winces, but still manages to roll out of the ring and smile, nodding to a few cheering males in the front row and ignoring the half and half reaction she's receiving from the rest of the crowd.
Nick Webb: Seattle might be undecided on whether they want to cheer for Liz Davis, but one thing isn't in dispute; Davis is back and in a big way with a major victory over Alex Richards!
Rayne: Does this put her in the driver's seat for a future shot at the Sovereign Title?
Nick Webb: I'd have to imagine so, Rayne. We'll find out soon enough!
The Voice Mail of a Desperate Man
Backstage during Survival of the Sickest, Don McMichael approaches the locker room of the International BWF Champion, Austin Scott, microphone in hand.
Don McMichael: Don McMichael here. I'm standing by right now, hoping to get a word from the International Champion before he defends his title against Vespertine later tonight.
As if on cue, the locker room door opens- however, it isn't Austin Scott, but Tag Team and Sovereign BWF Champion Zoe Cooper who exits. Don seems surprised as Zoe closes the door behind her.
Don McMichael: Zoe! What are you doing here leaving Austin's locker room?
Zoe turns to see Don and the cameraman and instantly turns a deep shade of red. She definitely wasn't expecting to see them there.
Zoe Cooper: Um, hi Don! What are you doing here?
Don McMichael: I was hoping to get a word from Austin tonight before his big title defense.
Zoe Cooper: Oh, right.
She looks behind her at the door.
Zoe Cooper: He's busy right now.....?
Don seems to catch Zoe's tone and changes the subject quickly.
Don McMichael: Right, understood. Would you mind maybe giving us a moment of your time, then? You also have a major title defense tonight against Hall of Fame member Toco. What are your thoughts heading into this title match?
Zoe Cooper: You know, I said my piece a few days ago. Toco might look like the favorite to win this match to the naked eye, but I'm undefeated for a reason. Just a few days ago, I broke the record to become the longest reigning Sovereign BWF Champion in history, and I'm not about to lose it right after that. I have nothing but respect for Toco and his accomplishments, which is why I won't hold anything back tonight when the bell rings. And, when the second bell rings, I'm going to be the one they announce as the winner.
Zoe smiles at Don, who nods.
Don McMichael: I see. Anything else to add?
Zoe Cooper: Actually, yes. Get a load of this.
Zoe reaches into her jeans pocket- she hasn't changed into her ring gear yet- and pulls out her cell phone. She dials a number and listens for a second before clicking the 'speaker' function and holding it up to Don's microphone.
You have one saved message. First saved message:
Toco: Hey, it’s Toco… I’m still trying to prepare for the match at Survival of the Sickest, don’t know what you’re up to, but if you have any suggestions could you call me back and tell me what I should focus on.
Zoe pulls her phone back and hangs it up.
Zoe Cooper: If Toco's the favorite to win this match, then why is he calling me for tips?
Zoe smirks and the crowd cheers loudly.
Zoe Cooper: I'm going to win my match tonight. My reign as Sovereign Champion of the BWF will continue. That's a promise.
The Sovereign BWF Champion winks at Don and heads off toward her own locker room as Don sends the show back to Rayne and Nick Webb at ringside.
DING DING DING!!!
Scott Benjamin: The following contest is scheduled for ONE fall! Introducing first, she hails from San Francisco, California... weighing in tonight at 165 pounds... she is AKEMI HAYASHI!!!
Bubbles and strobe lights! This may describe a high school dance, but it also describes the entrance of Akemi Hayashi, who happens to appear on the stage, popping bubbles in style with her cane as "Collapse Generation" by Arcturus plays. An awkward jig and she suddenly rips down the ramp and nearly collides with the ring if it weren't for a well-placed almost wire-fu like hop over the ropes. Well, it was wire-fu, she is seen taking the harness off. Akemi points her cane up and fires pez into the air before resting it outside the ring.
Nick Webb: Coming up next we have Akemi Hayashi taking on Kelly Keagan!
Rayne: This should be a fun little match.
Scott Benjamin: And her opponent, she hails from London, Ontario, Canada... weighing in tonight at 135 pounds... she is KELLY KEAGAN!!!
"Make Me Proud" by Drake hits the BlazenTron as Kelly Keagan runs down the ramp, slapping hands with fans. She slides into the ring and climbs the nearest turnbuckle as pyro shoots out from the stage.
Rayne: I’m not sure who to root for here.
Nick Webb: Why don’t you just call it down the middle for once?
DING!
The bell sounds and immediately Akemi bends Kelly's wrists backwards and then trips the smaller woman up, increasing her size advantage and wrenching a tight headlock. She looks out and smirks at the crowd, maybe a bit surprised that getting the upper hand early was this easy. The crowd doesn't cheer, but shuffles around uneasily - chances are good that they're still unsure of how to react to Akemi's.
Nick Webb: Both ladies here are looking to build momentum tonight.
Rayne: A win here could put them in the hunt for a title match for sure.
Kelly struggles to break the hold, but Akemi keeps leverage, slamming a couple of rights into her forehead and keeping the match pace slow. She drops to a knee and Kelly takes the opening, grabbing Akemi under the knee and lifting her squarely into the air. She sends Akemi down with a huge powerbomb and the former tag team champion rolls out of the ring to recover as the crowd cheers - clearly hoping there's a real fight going on here.
Rayne: Some real physicality being displayed here!
Akemi rolls her neck around and climbs into the ring again. Kelly goes for a lariat, clearly hoping to take control of the match, but Akemi ducks the blow and roundhouses Kelly in the jaw and she turns and tries to recover. Akemi follows with a hard axe kick to the crown of the head that leaves Kelly wildly backpedaling. Kelly backs into the corner and Akemi hammers away with a series of short kicks until the referee breaks them. Once the ref lowers his hand, Akemi springs into the corner and launches off, flattening her with the Whiplash DDT - the crowd cringes and Kelly goes straight into the air. Akemi slides in without missing a beat and goes for a cover.
1!
2!
Kickout! Akemi transitions from that into a bow and arrow lock. Kelly struggles in the hold and scratches the mat, silently nodding no when asked for a submission - if anything, Akemi takes this as motivation to pull the hold even tighter.
Nick Webb: Akemi looking to make Kelly tap out here.
Rayne: I didn’t even know Akemi knew this hold; she’s putting pressure on both the lower back and the neck of Kelly Keagan here.
After quite a while in this hold, Kelly slowly starts pounding the mat in a slow, steady rhythm, and whether they feel a little estranged from Akemi or just feel some sympathy, the claps slowly build and echo through the crowd as Kelly starts to pull up on a limb. Akemi decides to break the hold instead of trying to force it back down and goes for a karate style front kick - Kelly catches it and pulls Akemi into a clinch. She draws way way back and pummels her with a series of high knees to the head that have plenty of emphasis behind them. Kelly comes off the ropes and lands a devastating spinning elbow to the head and with Akemi's hands down, she gets all of it. The crowd pops as she goes off the rope and lands a flying shoulder block, knocking Akemi off balance again - Kelly follows with a dropsault. Akemi clutches her head as Kelly goes to the middle rope and grins. She dives at Akemi, but gets intercepted with a wicked European uppercut. Kelly throws a forearm, Akemi throws a forearm. Kelly goes for an elaborate looking spinning kick and Akemi ducks it, flooring her with her Boom Boom Kapow (Akemi pummels her standing opponent with rapid-fire savate kicks to the head).
Nick Webb: Devastating blows there by Akemi.
Rayne: She really wants the win here!
Akemi pulls Kelly up and kicks her hard in the chest, and Kelly winces before kicking her back. The two of them trade kicks, both throwing them harder and faster until they both hit a kick at the same time and fall to the canvas. By now the Seattle crowd is really getting into this match. As the ref tries to complete his count, they both kip up at the same time and look at each other. Akemi commits first, going for an amateur style takedown - and Kelly catches her and pulls her into a Butterfly submission hold. Akemi pivots and drives her knee into Kelly's side, keeping her from landing the suplex, but the hold is still locked and Kelly manages to pull her off the ground a bit, which puts all the pressure onto Akemi's shoulder's. But with her face contorted in very human agony, Kelly quickly jumping to the ropes and driving Akemi down to the mat with a tornado DDT.
Nick Webb: Kelly drives her head down to the mat there Rayne!
Rayne: Neither of these women will be feeling fine in the morning.
Kelly quickly goes to the corner after connecting with her DDT and springboards off the top rope and delivers her Corkscrew Moonsault on Akemi, the crowd popping. Kelly then goes out on the apron and calls for Akemi to get up again, which she starts doing slowly before Kelly leaps off the top turnbuckle but misses her Missile Dropkick! She crashes on the mat, but tries to get to her feet to keep fighting, but she’s trapped by Akemi and dropped straight down for a Gift of the Starflower (Devil Lock DDT). Akemi shoots the half and hooks Kelly’s outside leg!
1!
2!
3!
DING DING DING!!!
Scott Benjamin: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner as the result of a pinfall... AKEMI HAYASHI!!!
"Collapse Generation" by Arcturus starts playing as Akemi kips up from the cover and skips around the ring happily. The crowd seems disappointed that Kelly wasn't able to pull out the win, but are still showing respect to Akemi by cheering.
Nick Webb: What a hard hitting match, Rayne! Neither of these women have anything to be ashamed about!
Rayne: Why would Akemi be ashamed? She won the match!
Nick Webb: It's a saying. I was trying to be sportsmanlike!
Rayne: Try harder. HA!
Solid Snake
John Roberts comes out of the locker room dressed in his wrestling gear to get ready for his match against James Carson. He turns a corner and runs into Vespertine. She is still in street clothes. She is looking down at the ground but is on her phone. She still doesn't look up-
Vespertine: HEY! Watch where you're going. I'm walking-
She finally looks up and then looks up even more at John who is just standing there smirking evilly at her.
Vespertine: (to the phone) Uh.... I'm going to have to call you back. Something just came up.
She clicks a button, puts her phone away and then looks up at John.
Vespertine: John? Scarfaced Snake, right?
John Roberts: None other.
Vespertine: Good. I don't know yet if you have been introduced around but I'm Kimber. Ring name Vespertine. Everyone just calls me Ves.
She sticks out her hand to shake it. He looks at it for a long time and just when she is about to pull it back, he sticks his out and encompasses her hand in his and squeezes.
Vespertine: Uh.... OW!
He lets go and she takes her hand back and cradles it hurt.
Vespertine: Uh.... actually you're the person I'm looking for.
He tilts his head bemused.
John Roberts: Oh really? You come to offer me your services for the night?
Vespertine: Services yes but not the kind you are thinking of. I've watched you wrestle and I like the way you think. I was thinking more along the lines of a tag team.
John Roberts: Tag team? Are you sure you came to the right person? I don't play too well with others... or at all.
Vespertine: That's the kind of person I'm looking for. I want you on my side than have you against me. You've seen me wrestle, I've seen you brawl. Together you and I would rule the tag team division.
John Roberts: Of which there is only one team currently.
Vespertine: Details my sweet. Details. The titles are held by two women. A newbie and a veteran of BWF. I'm sure you could handle either one of them if you wanted to by yourself alone. But you can't have the gold unless you get a partner.
John Roberts: And what makes you think I won't turn on you?
Vespertine: I trust you about as far as I can throw you. Which is not very far. But combine my skills with yours, combine your brainpower with mine and we'll dominate the tag team division longer than anyone else has around here in recent years. I'm sure you trust me just as much as I do you. But you want gold just as much as I do.
John Roberts: You're already going after gold tonight.
Vespertine: Yes, but you aren't. If I get that belt tonight, that will leave me all the more hungry to get more belts. I trust everyone around here even less than I trust you which is saying quiet a lot.
She stops, sighs, and pauses.
Vespertine: Look, I can explain myself to you all I want, I just don't believe it will help me. I gave you the seed. It's your job to make it grow. You either want it or you don't. I just threw the idea out there. I'm sure you have held gold before. I'm sure you will hold gold again. I have the skills, you have the talents. I go for the glory, you go for the blood. Do I have to draw you a picture?
His smirk grows wider.
John Roberts: You know what. What they say about you is spot on. You are a firecracker.
He thinks for a minute.
John Roberts: I don't know, this may or may not work. I've never been in a team with a woman but there is always a first time for everything. Let me think about it and get back to you. Right now, I have a match to get to. If you'll excuse me.
With a mocking smile, he bows and "steps aside" for her to pass. She hurriedly does so and continues down the hall. He chuckles to himself and shakes his head as he continues towards his match. Camera cuts shot.
DING DING DING!!!
Scott Benjamin: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE fall! Introducing first, he hails from New Orleans, Louisiana... weighing in tonight at 280 pounds... he is JAMES CARSON!!!
The lights in the arena cut off. You hear James Carson's voice say "The end is near" and "Where is Your God Now" by Jimi Raymond begins playing on the BlazenTron. James Carson walks out onto the ramp and you can see a cross that is attached to a necklace on his neck that is glowing. When he gets about halfway, he takes off the necklace, kisses it and sets it on the ground. Carson then continues to make his way to the ring and through the ropes.
Nick Webb: This James Carson is one scary cat, Rayne. He's got a mission to bring down the machine, and he intends on doing so one match at a time. But one man took offense to Carson's mission - his opponent tonight, John Roberts.
Rayne: The Scarfaced Snake told Emily Corlen that he bows to no man, but tonight, he's going to have to take out a very impressive competitor in order to back that claim up.
Scott Benjamin: And his opponent, he hails from Atlanta, Georgia... weighing in tonight at 350 pounds... he is the Scarfaced Snake... he is JOHN ROBERTS!!!
The crowd gives a mixed reaction as they still don't know what to make of this man and then they quiet down in anticipation of his opponent. The lights then go out and the sound of many snakes hissing can be heard which is followed up by the sound of a woman screaming. "In Time" by Mark Collins comes up on the loudspeakers and red lights shine upon the entrance whereupon we see a huge brute of a man, the Scarfaced Snake, John Roberts, in a long black trenchcoat duster, and a black preacher's type of hat, standing at the entrance looking down at the ground. The guitar strums to indicate the start of the song and John takes a few steps forward, stops at the top of the ramp and looks around at the audience.
I can hear what you’re thinking
All your doubts and fears
And if you look into my eyes, you’ll find
The reason I’m here
John makes his way slowly down to the ring, the audience closest to him shies away from him when he looks in their direction.
And in time all things shall pass away
In time, you may come back someday
To live once more, or die once more
But in time, your time will be no more
When John gets to the ring area, he looks both ways and a slow smile creeps across his face which lights up the scar under his right eye.
You know your days are numbered
Count them one by one
Like notches in the handle of an outlaw's gun
You can outrun the devil, if you try
But you'll never outrun the hands of time
Then, John grabs the bottom rope and climbs onto the ring apron. He stops and looks around again and then he goes OVER the ropes. The lights slowly comes back up as he takes off his trenchcoat and hat and warms up using the ring ropes for leverage.
Nick Webb: Let's not discount Roberts' own strength, size and power, though. This certainly won't be an easy win for Carson or Roberts.
Rayne: But, it will be a win for one of them, and in my opinion, it's gonna come down to who can get nastier. With that said, let's find out which of these two bad men can get worse.
DING!
The crowd gives a mixed reaction with more boos coming than cheers. He smirks at them, the bell rings and the two men go to stand in the center of the ring nose to nose... or John being a head taller, chest to nose. Neither man says a word as they look at each other. James takes a step back and winds up and smacks John across the chest.... which does nothing. John just stands there and takes it.
Nick Webb: Show of strength by Roberts here, refusing to show pain, but Carson looks like he isn't intimidated in the least!
Carson then indicates for John to take a shot at him. John puts his hand into a fist and then looks around at the audience with a bemused smile. He winds up... and executes a big boot to the face of Carson who goes down hard. John then goes over to him and stomps him on his stomach a few times then bends down, picks him up by the hair and Irish whips him towards the ropes. On the rebound, James attempts a clothesline which only staggers John. James tries again and again with the same result. James tries again but this time, John fires up and executes a perfect clothesline from hell which sends James flipping over in midair and falling hard on the mat. John then picks him up and puts him in a chokehold. James wastes no time and pokes him hard in both eyes causing John to drop him. James then goes for the Awakening (Bull Hammer Elbow) which doesn't drop John but staggers him. James then follows up by Irish whipping John to the corner post. He then goes over and gets on the second rope and starts pounding away on John's head. He pauses as the crowd boos.
Rayne: Carson wasn't expecting that boot from the Scarfaced Snake, but I think all that did was fire him up! It's like this guy is powered by pain!
He then winds up for one last shot but from somewhere, John reaches around, grabs his pants, lifts him up high, walks forward and powerbombs him to the mat with authority. John then covers James.
1!
2!
Kickout! At two and a half, Carson kicks out.
Nick Webb: An Earth shattering powerbomb from Roberts, but Carson hangs on. It's gonna take a lot more than that to take down this freak, I think!
John gets up, picks Carson up by the hair, grabs him by the throat in a kind of Kane Chokehold, keeps him elevated for a few seconds and then throws him across the ring where Carson lands in a heap under the bottom turnbuckle.
Rayne: Roberts isn't holding back tonight, using his size advantage to keep the smaller Carson down!
John then stalks over to Carson, picks him up again and Irish whips him towards the ropes. On the rebound John attempts a clothesline from hell but Carson ducks under it and manages to execute a perfect float over DDT. He then gets up and runs the ropes and attempts a sort of long standing elbow drop and then plummets down and hits John in the sternum. He then goes for the pin.
1!
2!
No! At two, John kicks out.
Nick Webb: And this time, it's Roberts kicking out after an impressive move!
Carson then lifts John to a sitting position and puts him in a chinlock hold with a knee to his back. The referee asks if John wants to tap out and he says no. Carson lets go and elbows John in the head. He then picks John up and hits a spike DDT before he covers John again.
1!
2!
At two, John not only kicks out, but throws Carson off of him. Carson somehow lands on the referee. The referee gets in his face to admonish him but doesn't see that John is up. John gets up, grabs the referee by the back of the head and headbutts him hard. The referee drops to the mat out cold.
Rayne: What the hell? That's assault of a referee! What was that even about?!
The two combatants look at each other. Then they get the same idea at the same time and start exchanging lefts and rights. They go back and forth for a while with the crowd cheering and jeering who they are rooting for, then Carson switches to an open palm slap to the chest and after each slap, the crowd goes WOOO!!! He backs John up into the ropes. He looks around, then figures nothing else is good so leans him over and pounds him on the chest. He grabs his mouth and you can hear Carson say "I told you, you are my property!"
Nick Webb: Carson letting Roberts know exactly where he stands in his world, but folks, the referee is still down!
This seems to rile John up because from somewhere he shakes off Carson's attack and starts battling back again with huge rights. He grabs Carson's hand and Irish whips him towards the ropes but at the last second reverses it, keeps it locked on and clotheslines him down. John picks him up again in a Kane chokehold and the camera can pick up what he says: "Where is your god now?" He then throws Carson across the ring again but Carson comes back and catches Roberts with a huge clothesline that takes the big man off of his feet!
Rayne: This one is getting out of hand fast. Can we get another official down here to restore order before these two kill each other?
Carson considers covering, but realizes the referee is still out. He goes over to the referee and shakes him. Nothing. He picks the referee up and props him against the turnbuckle and slaps him across the head a few times. Nothing. He then slaps the referee across the face which starts him going. He groggily stands up and tries to gain his bearings. Carson, satisfied, goes back to cover John but when he turns around, he gets a big boot to the face! John has an angry look on his face and he cracks his neck to get the cobwebs and pain out. He reaches down, grabs Carson by the neck, picks him up again and then choke throws him across the ring. He stalks over to Carson, picks him up and puts him on the top turnbuckle. Then he himself climbs up and puts Carson's arm over his shoulder.
Nick Webb: I think Roberts has something sinister in mind here!
Roberts attempts a superplex but Carson whirls into motion and starts pounding with one hand on John's stomach. John loses his balance but quickly regains it but this gives Carson enough time to push him hard off the turnbuckle. John lands on his back in the ring and Carson climbs up, looks around and leaps off.
Rayne: Carson taking to the air here!
He goes for a flying frog splash but somehow, John puts his knees up at the last second and Carson hits his knees, bounces off, and rolls around on the mat in pain. John slowly gets up, goes over to Carson and stomps a few mudholes in him.
Nick Webb: That splash might come back to bite Carson in the ass when this match is all said and done.
He then takes a meaty hand, grabs Carson by the forehead and lifts... up! He then sets up Carson and looks around to wait a few seconds then executes a Dangerous DDT. He goes for the pin. The referee groggily gets into position and counts.
1!
2!
......NO!
At 2 and 7/8, Carson kicks out and Roberts' eyes widen in what can only be described as shock! John quickly gets up and gets in the referee's face, telling him to count faster. As the referee tries to argue with Roberts, Carson comes to on the mat and stands up. Sensing his opportunity, Carson strikes, grabbing the Scarfaced Snake from behind and hitting him with The Illumination (Skull Crushing Finale)! He then covers John as the crowd boos loudly.
1!
2!

DING DING DING!!!
Scott Benjamin: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner as the result of a pinfall... JAMES CARSON!!!
"Where is Your God Now" by Jimi Raymond begins playing on the BlazenTron as James Carson slowly stands up, laughing evilly and making faces at the Seattle crowd. He taunts Roberts, screaming "I TOLD YOU!" as he stomps the mat loudly.
Nick Webb: Wow. Just... wow.
Rayne: John Roberts had control of most of this match, but he took his eye off the prize for just a moment and that moment was the only opening James Carson needed.
Nick Webb: Certainly an impressive - HEY! Come on!
While the announcers talk, Carson rolls out of the ring and grabs a chair from the timekeeper. He rolls back inside and immediately drops a running chair-assisted elbow onto Roberts' head. The crowd boos louder as Carson takes a few chair shots at Roberts' back, and then pulls him up slowly before hitting him with a second Illumination onto the chair. Carson then poses, stretching his arms wide as he stands over John Roberts' fallen body. Boos shower the KeyArena as Carson takes it all in, grinning like a madman.
Rayne: This guy is insane. Absolutely insane. I love it!
Nick Webb: I'll tell you who doesn't love it right now, these fans, or John Roberts. I have a feeling this thing between these two men is far from finished. Not if Roberts has anything to say about it!

DING DING DING!!!
Scott Benjamin: The following contest is scheduled for ONE fall and it is for the BWF Sovereign Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, he hails from Hershey, Pennsylvania... weighing in tonight at 388 pounds... he is a BWF Hall of Famer... he is TOCO!!!
The lights in the arena change to a golden hue as “The Red “by Chevelle hits the BlazenTron. As the crowd reaches their feet, the man known as Toco walks out onto the stage to a huge pop. He poses for the crowd, and then walks down the ramp, slapping hands with the fans as he goes. He rolls into the ring, then walks to the ropes and throws his fist into the air, causing all four turnbuckles to explode with pyro as his music fades.
Nick Webb: Toco has held countless Championship titles during his illustrious career, but tonight, he has the opportunity to win his first BWF title in almost eight years! To do that, he has to defeat the undefeated Zoe Cooper. Can Toco do what nobody else has yet been able to accomplish?
Rayne: I think the big man's credentials speak for themselves, Nick. Toco's made a career out of doing what people told him he couldn't, so yeah, if anybody can snap Cooper's streak, it's Toco, and it's tonight at Survival of the Sickest.
Scott Benjamin: And his opponent, she is the current and reigning BWF Sovereign Champion... she hails from Billings, Montana... weighing in tonight at 140 pounds... she is ZOE COOPER!!!
"Happy" by Pharrell Williams starts playing in the arena and the fans rise to their feet cheering as Zoe Cooper walks onto the stage and points out at the fans.
It might seem crazy what I’m about to say
Sunshine she’s here, you can take a break
I’m a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don’t care baby by the way
Zoe walks down the ramp, taking a pause to high five a few kids sitting along the ramp in the crowd. She reaches the ring and walks around it once, high fiving more kids as she goes.
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
After Zoe finishes her trip around the ring, she walks up the steps and climbs the nearest corner, pointing out to the fans again and smiling. She climbs over the top rope and jumps down into the ring, then leans against the corner.
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do
The song starts to fade as Zoe walks out to the middle of the ring and points at the crowd with both hands. She winks and grins happily before returning to her corner and waiting for the beginning of the match. She hands off the Sovereign Championship off to the referee who holds the championship high before handing it off to the time keeper.
Nick Webb: Zoe Cooper has been on a tear since coming into the BWF. She’s definitely one of the brightest young stars to join the roster since the company’s re-launch.
Rayne: Truth. Undefeated? Not too shabby.
DING!
Cooper and Toco start to circle each other around the ring and Toco clearly wants to try and slow Cooper down from the start as he locks up and quickly wrestles her to a knee as he applies a side headlock. He drives a few hard shots to the head as the referee tells him to watch the closed fist before Toco tosses her into the corner. Cooper hits hard and staggers out of the corner and walks into a hard elbow to the top of her head. Cooper hits the mat and comes back up to her feet and drives a kick to the gut that Toco absorbs. Cooper steps forward and dropkicks Toco in the knee. Toco falls to a knee and it allows Cooper a few seconds to come off the ropes and hit a shining wizard to the Hall of Famer.
Rayne: The quick attack is going to be important for Cooper. She’s going to need to tire Toco down.
Cooper sizes up Toco as he gets to his knees and drives a hard kick to his chest. She keeps up the kicks and hits the Kicking It Old School (Numerous Karate-style Kicks in a Row) for a total of seven kicks in a row. Toco falls backwards and Cooper falls into a cover.
1!
2!
Kickout!
Toco is able to throw his shoulder up and pushes Cooper away to start to get back to his feet. Cooper starts to charge and runs right into a hard shoulder block. Toco steps backwards from the fallen Cooper and lands a big splash. Toco pulls Cooper to her feet and hits a belly to belly suplex and drives her into the mat.
Nick Webb: That will slow Cooper down.
Toco drags Cooper to her feet and locks in a sleeper hold. Cooper tries to fight out of it but Toco overpowers her and pulls her back to the center of the ring. She starts to fade and struggles to stand on her own two feet. Toco tells the referee to check her but before he can, Cooper reaches back and hooks her arms around the head of Toco and falls, breaking the hold with a jawbreaker. Toco staggers backwards as Cooper gets enough time to stand and climbs to the top rope and measures up Toco. She dives and looks for the Pounce (Flying Body Press) but Toco catches her and turns it into a powerslam as the crowd pops. He makes a cover as the referee moves into position.
1!
2!
Kickout!
Nick Webb: Cooper with a close call!
Rayne: Toco nearly had this match won.
Cooper gets pulled to her feet by Toco who calls for the match to be over. Toco sets her up for the To-Cutter (Diamond Cutter) but Cooper pushes him away. Cooper grabs Toco from behind and locks in the Z-Clamp (Dragon Sleeper with scissors). The fans start to roar as Cooper has Toco locked in the Z-Clamp and Toco struggles to get out. He inches his way over towards the ropes and is inches away.
Nick Webb: Cooper has that move locked in tight but Toco is getting closer to the ropes!
Cooper pulls back as hard as she can, but Toco is able to reach the ropes, whipping the crowd into a frenzy! The Sovereign Champion is forced to relinquish the hold and rolls backwards across the ring as Toco starts pulling himself up with the ropes.
Rayne: I really thought Zoe had this match won, but Toco made it to the ropes!
Toco pulls himself up and shakes his head loose before turning back to the ring and stepping forward. The moment he does, Zoe come out of nowhere and cracks him in the center of the forehead with the Face Replacer (Running Bryan-Style Knee)! Cooper drops down into the cover and the crowd counts along!

DING DING DING!!!
Scott Benjamin: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner as the result of a pinfall and STILL BWF Sovereign Champion... ZOE COOPER!!!
"Happy" by Pharrell Williams starts playing as Zoe Cooper rolls to her feet and starts celebrating. She runs to the corner and hops up, posing for the cheering fans as the referee hands her both of her title belts.
Nick Webb: That move came out of nowhere, but it was enough to put Toco down for the three count! I believe she calls that the Face Replacer!
Rayne: And how! Toco might have a new face after that shot he took! I think she cracked his skull dead center!
The music fades out in the ring as Zoe hops off the turnbuckle and sees Toco standing in the middle of the ring. She approaches him as Toco says a few things inaudibly to her before offering her a handshake. She accepts and the two shake hands as the crowd cheers loudly. Toco nods and slaps Zoe on the back before rolling out of the ring and heading up the ramp, high fiving a few fans at ringside.
Nick Webb: You gotta say this about Toco; the man is a class act through and through. A hell of a contest here at Survival of the Sickest.
Rayne: But tonight belongs to Zoe Cooper, whose amazing five month undefeated streak continues! Can anybody stop this ferocious blonde bombshell?
Better Dead Than Red
The scene cuts backstage, where we see Undisputed BWF World Champion and Tag Team Champion Elena Simonova stretching just outside of her locker room as she prepares for her Hell in a Cell title defense in the main event. The crowd gives a mixed response, yet as Elena bends over, the crowd almost unanimously shifts to cheers. She turns around to face the wall and places her hands against it, but from out of nowhere, a hand grips the back of Elena's head and smashes it right into the concrete arena wall with severe force!
Nick Webb: Oh my God!
A slight crunch is heard as Elena slumps down onto the arena floor. Whoever attacked her isn't seen; as the attack happens, the cameraman is knocked down to the ground hard. A foot quickly stomps down on the camera, shattering the lens and cutting the picture to black. The audio records the sound of an intense beatdown taking place before they flee the scene at the sound of company. A second camera kicks in, following several officials and C.E.O. Emily Corlen as they discover the Undisputed BWF World Champion lying right outside her locker room door, unconscious in a pool of her own blood.
Emily Corlen: You, find out who the hell did this. You, get help! NOW!
Two of the officials run off in opposite directions as Emily looks down at Elena, her face and body a mess, the recipient of a horrible assault. Emily covers her face and looks away, seemingly fighting a battle between tears and outrage.
Emily Corlen: WHERE ARE THOSE FUCKING EMTS?! I SAID NOW, DAMMIT!!!
Finally, officials arrive on the scene and immediately begin tending to the fallen Champion, prepping her for a gurney.
Emily Corlen: SON OF A BITCH!
Emily punches the wall hard in a rage as the scene cuts back to ringside.
Nick Webb: I think I'm going to be sick.
Rayne: What the hell just happened back there? Who was that who attacked Elena? And what will this mean for tonight's main event? There's no way Simonova is competing in the shape she was in!
Nick Webb: I don't know, Rayne. I have no idea... alright, look, we have to continue this broadcast, but hopefully, we'll have some sort of update for you all here tonight regarding the status of Elena Simonova. Good God...
DING DING DING!!!
Scott Benjamin: The following contest is scheduled for ONE fall and it is for the BWF International Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, she hails from San Francisco, California... weighing in tonight at 115 pounds... she is VESPERTINE!!!
The lights go out and there is silence for a moment or two. Suddenly you hear Vespertine’s voice; "Death... by... Diva!"
The crowd buzzes with anticipation and then the first few notes of "Gasoline" by Porcelain and the Tramps blares out over the loudspeakers and red and purple black lights come up all over the arena and the crowd gives a huge reaction as they know who this is. A purple and red spotlight shines from behind the stage and lights up the backdrop.
Don't get in my face
Don't invade my space
I'll put you in your place
I'll only tell you once
I'll never tell you twice
And this is me being nice
From below the stage, fans go off blowing streams of air to above the stage. In between those jets of air, Vespertine rises from below the stage (Gangrel style) but she is squatting down and has a hand on the lift. When the lift stops she slowly rises to her feet and spreads her arms out and looks up. When she does this, a spotlight lighting up the backdrop disappears and another one from below her comes up. She wears her wrestling outfit, and a black trenchcoat duster. She looks up to the sky.
You cross me once and you'll see
It's like a match in gasoline
Gasoline
She drops her arms suddenly and this is a cue for pyro fire pillars to go off behind her. She walks to the top of the entrance ramp and looks around. Then she suddenly kicks out and stands on one foot in a karate stance leg stretched to above her head. The camera goes across and then circles her before moving back to the front side of her. She brings her foot down and the pyros pillars end. She then starts down to the ring, doing a model type of walk, spreading her arms out and smiling evilly as she goes down walking in time to the musical beat.
'Cause I'm highly flammable
A caged up animal
I will go off on you
You better take it back
I'm about to snap
I will go off on you
When she gets to ringside, she looks around then goes up the ringsteps and through the ropes. When she gets into the ring, she looks down and stands still. She stays like this for a few seconds before she slowly twists and twirls her body to the beat of the song. She goes faster and faster and then she twirls completely around and does a few 1 legged kicks and flips and then she does a backflip at the end of which she comes down in a 1 leg stretch position (like Shawn Michaels did) upon which she stays like that for a few seconds looking down again. Then she flips her hair back and jumps up and her arms shoot up to point at the lights overhead at which point there is an explosion of light all around the arena and then the arena lights come up.
When it's your turn
You'll get your lesson learned
You'll be blister burnt
Feed my adrenaline
It's going to do you in
I'm seeing red again
She then goes over to the corner post and stands on the middle ropes and raises her hands in the air and screams out in fury while jets of air shoot out (from the posts) catching her trenchcoat and hair in steams of air. She looks around for a moment or two then gets off the ring post and goes to the opposite one and does the same thing with the same effect. When she is finished, she takes off her trenchcoat, and hands it to a techie on the outside of the ring. Then she goes to her corner and waits for the match to start. The crowd seems to be largely booing Vespertine, who seems a bit taken aback by the reaction.
Nick Webb: This crowd doesn't seem to be big supporters of Vespertine but with who’s she set to face here tonight I can understand why.
Rayne: The International Champion is one of the young guns here in the BWF that’s taken it by storm. Austin Scott has been on a roll since coming and he’s a rookie right out of the stocks.
Nick Webb: With that said, Vespertine has been lobbying for a Championship match for several months now, and despite a losing effort against both Austin Scott and Zoe Cooper at WrestleFest VII, she earned another shot, this time one on one against Scott. Could tonight be the night Vespertine breaks through?
Rayne: I think all eyes are on this one, Nick. Vespertine has been talking a big game since day one, but she's failed a few times to back it up when the bell rings. With a win over the very hot Austin Scott tonight, she could easily solidify her spot as one of the top contenders in this organization, and stamp her name in the BWF history books for all time!
Vespertine climbs into the ring and shouts something at the crowd as her music dies down. She looks around the ring and looks back at the ramp when "Kick It in the Sticks" by Brantley Gilbert hits the BlazenTron and Austin Scott walks out onto the stage, pumping his fist in the air. He has the International Championship around his waist as he poses at the top of the ramp.
Scott Benjamin: And her opponent, he is the current and reigning BWF International Champion... he hails from Killeen, Texas... weighing in tonight at 233 pounds... he is AUSTIN SCOTT!!!
He walks down to the ring, high fiving a few fans in attendance, before sliding into the ring and awaiting the start of the match as his music fades. He hands off the championship to the referee who in turn shows it off to the crowd and then hands it off to the time keeper before the bell sounds.
DING!
As soon as the match starts, Vespertine is all over Scott with a series of lefts and rights that quickly backs him into a corner. She lands a hard right elbow and pulls Scott out to the middle of the ring and takes him down with an arm drag and applies an armbar. Scott is able to get his footing under himself and is able to turn Vespertine and eventually gets free from the hold. Vespertine jumps right back up and hits a running forearm to the champion and drops him with a spinning heel kick.
Nick Webb: Vespertine has come to fight here tonight. She’s out to prove something and it might have caught Scott off guard.
Scott rolls to his feet and pushes Vespertine away as she tries to lock up with him. Scott ducks a clothesline attempt and sets Vespertine up for a German suplex but she’s able to wiggle free. She turns and walks right into a kick to the gut from Scott who quickly follows it up with a gutwrench powerbomb. Scott pulls her back to her feet and turns her for a neckbreaker before dropping her. Vespertine hits the mat hard, holding her neck, before starting to get back to her feet. Scott immediately drops Vespertine again with a running axe handle as she stands on her feet. The crowd gets behind Scott as he starts to build momentum and claps along with them. He starts to roll his shoulder and pats his right arm a few times as Vespertine uses the ropes to pull herself up. She turns and takes a few steps forward as Scott charges and drops her with the Straight Whiskey (Running Lariat). Scott dives into a cover.
1!
2!
Easy kickout for Vespertine.
Nick Webb: Vespertine needs to find her footing her or this is going to get out of hand quickly.
Rayne: Austin Scott is going to look to keep the pressure up here as well.
Scott pulls Vespertine to her feet and backs her into the corner and throws an elbow to the side of her head. He quickly pulls back and drives another into her head. Scott lifts Vespertine to the top ropes and follows suit and starts to set her up for a superplex. Vespertine tries to battle out with a few shots to the sides of Scott. She lands a hard headbutt and pulls Scott to the top rope and starts to balance herself and gets turned with her back to the center of the ring. She pulls him close and comes off the top rope and lands the La Mistica (Top-Rope C-4). The crowd can’t believe it as Vespertine climbs into a cover.
1!
2!
The crowd roars in support of Scott kicking out.
Nick Webb: And the International Champion not ready to give up just yet.
Rayne: That was a tremendous move by Vespertine.
Both competitors starts to get to their feet and quickly exchange blows once they get there. Vespertine lands a few quick shots while Scott’s are hard, devastating blows. Vespertine rushes off the ropes and looks for a crossbody but Scott catches her in his arms and starts to set her up for the Ace in the Hole (Rikishi Driver) and drives her into the mat. The crowd pops as Scott starts to roll Vespertine over but sees Akemi Hayashi out of the corner of his eye. Akemi has made her way to the ring and grabbed Scott’s cowboy hat and jumps to the apron. Scott stands and takes a few steps towards her and the two start to share words. The referee tries to get Akemi off the apron. She finally jumps down and Austin turns around... right into Vespertine's Suspended Silence (Osaka Street Cutter)! The crowd goes silent as Vespertine covers and the ref drops to count!

DING DING DING!!!
Scott Benjamin: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner as the result of a pinfall... and the NEW BWF International Champion... VESPERTINE!!!
"Gasoline" by Porcelain and the Tramps blares out over the loudspeakers as Vespertine slowly stands up and is handed the International Championship. The crowd starts booing loudly as she reacts as though she just won an Oscar and cradles the title, tearing up and celebrating.
Rayne: What was that all about? A great match, ruined by a random interruption at the end! Are Akemi and Vespertine in cahoots?
Nick Webb: I don't think so, Rayne. Remember, Akemi said a few weeks back that she was going to get Scott’s hat and she did so tonight, long enough to cause a distraction and as a result, Vespertine has shocked the world. Like her or don't, she has earned her place in the BWF history books and nobody can take that away from her!
Rayne: Even if the fans here in Seattle would like to. WOW.
Nick Webb: I wouldn't take their reaction as any sort of indictment on Vespertine. If anything, it's an admission of how popular Austin Scott is here!
Rayne: Yep, because when I think cowboy hat wearing redneck, I think Seattle! HA!
A Sign of Things to Come?
We come backstage from Vespertine’s win to see Katrina Evans standing with Matt Stone.
Katrina Evans: Well matt, we’re just a few minutes away from you stepping into the Hell in the Cell match with Casey Campbell and Undisputed BWF World Champion, Elena Simonova. How confident are you that you will walk out with the title?
Matt Stone: We have a new International Champion Katrina, and that won’t be the only title to change hands tonight. Leading up to this match, Casey showed us all how he was desperately grasping at straws to try and get his confidence up, he was arguing with everything I said to the point where he was making himself worse in retrospect, but that’s his prerogative. As for Elena...well Ylvis knew what they were talking about, because I don’t have a clue what that fox says. She stayed quiet all week and good on her, because no one can get into a war or words with me and come out looking good. In the ring, that’s where you better bring your A Game. I’ve said enough Katrina, I’m going to do my talking in the ring tonight. Make sure you’re watching Emily, you’re going to have to get used to me once again being your champion.
Stone walks past Katrina, who is left there wondering what she should do now as the scene cuts back to the ring.
DING DING DING!!!
Scott Benjamin: The following contest is the Loser Leaves BWF Ladder Match! A BWF contract has been hung above the ring. The winner will be the first individual to climb the ladder and retrieve said contract. The loser will be fired from BWF! Introducing first, he hails from Columbus, Ohio... weighing in tonight at 212 pounds... he is OUTLAW!!!
There’s a large surge of boos as “Sick of It” by Skillet begins to play throughout the arena as the lights flash red with spotlights pointed to the entrance. Outlaw walks out to the stage around the :15 mark with no one on his flank as he looks around.
Rayne: I’m going to submit one of those petitions to the White House website forcing Outlaw to come out with Kelly O’Shea on every match.
He looks to the side and out to the crowd as he puts a hand up and follows it by making his way to the ring. Outlaw slowly walks down the ramp with his hands on either side of the main plate of the Havok World Title.
Are you sick of it?
Raise your hands
Get rid of it!
While there's a fighting chance
Are you over it?
Bored to death?
Have you had enough regret?
Take a stand, raise your hands…
He slides under the ropes with a little jog and runs off the ropes a few times before popping up to the second turnbuckle. Outlaw takes off his leather jacket and tosses it to the floor as he pops back down and walks to the other side of the apron and climbs to the second turnbuckle again and makes a gun with his hands and fires at the crowd. He jumps back down to the mat as his music dies down.
Scott Benjamin: And introducing his opponent, he hails from Los Angeles, California... weighing in tonight at 176 pounds... he is AJ ADAMS!!!
There’s a quiet throughout the arena but that changes as “Lights Out” by P.O.D. cues up throughout the arena and the Houston fans rise to their feet and cheer for one of the biggest pops of the night. The lights flash blue as spotlights flash around the arena. AJ Adams comes out onto the stage to the cheers and looks around the stage and the crowd, taking it all in.
Respect I earned, started with the clique that I hanged
Respect I earned, ever since i got in this game.
Respect I earned, never wanting fortune or fame
Adams stands at the top of the ramp and points up to the sky.
Chiggy-check, microphone check
Chiggy-check, microphone check
It's Lights Out, Game Over
At “lights out”, AJ Adams pumps his arms and screams it with the song as a big pop of pyro goes off. He hops and as he throws his arms out and takes in the fans on the ramp. He high fives a few of them and finally makes it to the ring. He jumps to the apron and climbs to the middle turnbuckle and takes off his shirt before tossing it into the crowd. He jumps into the ring and shakes his head a few times and uses the top rope to stretch his arms and legs.
Nick Webb: This is back to back pay per view events where AJ Adams is staring at what could be his last match. The difference in this match and the last is that if he wins, Outlaw is out. There’s 182 days as the BWF’s World Champion between these two men since the re-launch back in April of last year.
Rayne: 127 of that is Outlaw’s! The stipulation of this match is unfair.
Nick Webb: Outlaw agreed to it.
Rayne: Out of blind hatred towards AJ Adams.
DING!
AJ Adams and Outlaw have begun to circle each other and begin to trash talk almost immediately. Outlaw steps up to Adams and doesn’t wait before blasting him with lefts and rights but Adams is quick to battle back and spears Outlaw into the corner. Outlaw punches at the back of Adams while Adams lands body blows on his rival. Adams gets pushed away but quickly comes back with a running clothesline as he jumps and slides through the middle ropes. Adams rushes to the top rope and comes flying off as Outlaw turns around and gets dropped with a crossbody. Adams rolls to his feet and pulls Outlaw to his. Outlaw locks up with Adams and tries to take him down with a back drop but Adams lands on his feet and connects with a German suplex. Adams is fired up as he feeds off the crowd.
Rayne: Adams is hot to start the match.
Adams pulls Outlaw to his feet and connects with a knee to the gut that doubles Outlaw over. Adams falls to his knees and lands a chop right to the throat of Outlaw that causes him to gasp for air. Adams pushes off the mat and spears Outlaw back into a corner and begins to climb to the second ropes before starting to land hard shots on Outlaw as the crowd counts along. The crowd gets to 10 before Adams jumps down and backs away before Outlaw finally falls over. Adams heads out of the ring as the crowd cheers as he starts to look under the ring.
Rayne: All business here tonight for Adams.
Nick Webb: Not going to leave anything to chance here, Rayne. All it takes is Outlaw getting a small advantage and this match could be over.
Adams pulls out a ladder to the delight of the fans but before he can get it in the ring, Outlaw comes charging with a baseball slide that rams the ladder right into Adams. Outlaw pops back up as Adams lays on the outside with the ladder on top of him. Outlaw goes off the far ropes and dives over the top rope and puts his body on the line as he splashes right on top of the ladder and crushes Adams. Both men are in pain as the fans eat up the high risk. Outlaw is to his feet first and slides the ladder into the ring. Adams isn’t too far behind him and the two men lock up on the outside of the ring before Adams lands a few more knees to the gut of Outlaw. Outlaw pushes him away looks for a clothesline but Adams ducks it. Adams charges and hits a clothesline as Outlaw turns around. Adams pulls him to his feet and drags him over to the announce table.
Nick Webb: What’s AJ thinking here?
Adams bounces Outlaw’s head off the table and drapes him over the table. He takes a few seconds to gather himself and starts to climb on the table. Outlaw comes up swinging with a TV monitor that clocks Adams in the side of the head. The crowd is all over Outlaw with boos as Adams falls off the table and to the ground in a heap. Outlaw slides into the ring and starts to set up the ladder as the fans continue to boo. Adams is slowing getting up and starts to pull himself up using the apron.
Rayne: Outlaw could be on his way.
Outlaw has the ladder set up and only makes it a few feet up before Adams makes it back into the ring. Outlaw kicks down at Adams and pushes him away. Adams bounces off the ropes and rushes the ladder and starts to push it over. Outlaw jumps and lands on his feet but turns around and right into the Last Call (Codebreaker) from Adams. The fans eat it up as Adams is slow to get up, holding his ribs from getting smashed earlier. He sets the ladder back up in the middle of the ring before starting to climb.
Nick Webb: He’s got it!
Outlaw starts to stir as AJ Adams has perched himself hear the top of the ladder. Outlaw climbs up the other side of the ladder and the two men start to exchange lefts and rights. Outlaw bounces Adams’ head off the top of the ladder and climbs up a couple more rungs. Outlaw flips over and holds onto Adams and brings him to the mat with a powerbomb as the crowd is in disbelief.
Rayne: What a move!
Outlaw falls to his back to catch his breath before starting to pull himself to his feet. Outlaw starts to pull Adams to his feet and positions him for the Breaking the Law (Canadian Destroyer) but Adams is able to flip Outlaw to his back by pulling his feet out from under him. Adams hits the ropes and Outlaw is back up and ducks a clothesline. Outlaw rushes as Adams comes back and floats over and drops Adams with the Unlawful (Tilt a Whirl DDT). He plants Adams near the side of the ring and the ladder falls over as the mat bounces. Outlaw pulls himself up and starts to climb.
Nick Webb: Adams was just planted head first into the mat and may be dreaming of the unemployment line.
Outlaw is slowly climbing the ladder and Adams is trying to get up to his feet. He finally makes it and grabs Outlaw by the foot and pulls him down a rung or two. He tugs hard as Outlaw lands feet first on the mat and turns into Adams who doubles him over with a kick to the gut and sets him up with a tie up and drops Outlaw with the Legacy Maker (Sister Abigail).
Nick Webb: There’s that move that AJ debuted at WrestleFest!
Outlaw is out cold face first in the ring as Adams rolls him out to the mat outside and starts to climb the ladder. He’s feet away and the lights go out as the fans go crazy.
Rayne: What’s going on?
The lights come back up and the two masked men for hire from Legacy X are in the ring and are attacking AJ Adams.
Rayne: It’s Legacy X all over again!
Nick Webb: Bad blood between these men or just a hired unit by Outlaw this time?
The back Adams into the corner but he starts to battle out and lands lefts and rights to both of them. Adams tosses the taller of the two up and over the top rope and drops the other with the Last Call. Adams charges the ropes and dives through the ropes and takes out the other man. Outlaw is to his feet and slides into the ring and tries to hurry up the ladder. Adams slides into the ring and starts to push the ladder over slowly and eventually Outlaw gets sent over the top rope and takes out the man on the outside. Adams grabs the man in the ring and drops him with the Legacy Maker for good measure and makes his way up the ladder. Adams touches the briefcase as the fans begin to roar and he unhooks it as the bell sounds!
DING DING DING!!!
Scott Benjamin: Here is your winner... AJ ADAMS!!!
Rayne: AJ Adams did it!
Nick Webb: And the longest reigning BWF World Champion in 9 years is gone. Outlaw falls to AJ Adams in a hard fought battle.
Adams jumps to the mat and falls to his knees as he looks around the arena as the fans cheer on their feet.
Rayne: Now the question is whether or not Outlaw finds a way to get back in the company or at least get some sort of rematch... but with Emily Corlen in control this might be the last time we see Outlaw for a long time.
A Long Time Coming
The camera cuts shot to a scene of Toshi and Akoda waiting in a corridor down from the dressing rooms, Suddenly from around the corner comes Vespertine, still dressed in her ring gear and with the International Title over her shoulder. They see her and run towards her in excitement. In the excitement she doesn't realize she is hugging Akoda as well.
Toshi Yang: You did it girl. You finally got the International Title.
Vespertine: Yes and look how long it took me.
Toshi Yang: Don't be sad about that. Your hard work paid off.
Vespertine: I'm far from sad. I'm ecstatic. I'm beyond happy. I'm beyond overjoyed. I finally set out and accomplished what I said I would do months ago and that was take this belt away from Austin. I'm now the International Champion.
Toshi Yang: I'm so happy for you. We need to celebrate.
They hug.
Vespertine: Yes, we need to. You and me in my suite later tonight. Candles and candy.
Akoda Yang: OH! Sounds like fun. Can I join in?
Toshi and Vespertine unhook from each other and Vespertine looks askance at him.
Vespertine: Haven't we already been over this?
Akoda Yang: Is that a no?
Toshi Yang: Afraid so brother. (to Vespertine) I thought more along the lines of drinking and dancing.
Akoda Yang: Will you give me details after?
Toshi Yang: Sure, if you're lucky and I'm not tired.
Vespertine gets a shocked look on her face and slaps Toshi across the shoulder.
Vespertine: Not that I don't disagree with how good in bed we are but what I'm shocked at is you would tell your own brother the details of your sex life.
Akoda Yang: Yes especially when you have never done so before.
Toshi Yang: Thank you Akoda, now you ruined the moment.
Vespertine and Toshi laugh and hug again. From around the corner comes Don McMichael, he sees them and goes over to them as they are talking to each other and still in an embrace.
Don McMichael: Uh... I hate to cut into this, as lovely as it is, but can I get a few words on your victory, Vespertine?
Akoda Yang: Believe me, you can't cut in. I have been trying for a month to get some action and they still say no.
Toshi Yang: I'll take him over here.
Vespertine: Thank you.
She stands next to Don as Toshi goes down the corridor a little bit.
Vespertine: Truth to tell Don, I knew this was my night. I just had a good feeling about it.
Don McMichael: What does having the International Title mean for you?
Vespertine: I finally made it. I finally arrived. I worked my ass off to get here and now I'm one step closer to achieving that ultimate goal of BWF Hall of Famer.
Don McMichael: I'd have thought the Undisputed BWF World Title would be your next goal.
Vespertine: That will come. I just jumped ahead in line. Outlaw's out of the way and AJ is busy with who knows what, and good riddance to them. Now, whoever has the Undisputed World Title by the end of tonight, I'm putting them on notice: you are in my sights and I'm gunning for you.
Don McMichael: Even with the International Title?
Vespertine: Well, how cool would it be that after four months of working hard, I get to be double champion? Picture it. Vespertine: International Champion and Undisputed World Champion. This will silence the critics... and maybe show Snake that I can be a good tag team partner as well.
Don McMichael: So now you have the Title, what do you plan to do?
Vespertine: I want to celebrate with Toshi. Yes and Akoda too.
Akoda Yang: (from down the hall) Thank you! I love you Vespertine!
Vespertine: (under her breath) I'm sure you do. (to the camera) In the next week or so, I'm taking Toshi home to San Francisco and introducing her to my babies, Kenji and Geisha, then we will go out and paint the town red. (sings) Sitting by the dock of the bay, watching the tide rolllll away!
Don smiles and laughs along with her as she pats the title lovingly.
Don McMichael: That's great. Any last words?
Vespertine: Well, I tip my hat to Austin. He gave me a hella hard fight tonight and if he ever wants a rematch, I'll put him at the front of the line for this title. I know how hard it is to obtain it and keep it and I just obtained it and my job of keeping it will come soon. But good match tonight, Austin and like I said, anytime you want another shot, just say the word.
Don McMichael: Thank you, Vespertine. Congratulations.
Vespertine: Thank you.
She goes off screen to be with Toshi and Akoda down the hall.
Don McMichael: And that was our new International Champion. Nick, Rayne, back to you.
Camera cuts shot.
DING DING DING!!!
Scott Benjamin: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is your Survival of the Sickest main event! It is a Triple Threat Hell in a Cell Match scheduled for ONE fall... and it is for the Undisputed BWF World Championship!
A World Title graphic flies across the screen, showing the Havok and Crisis World Titles crashing into one another and exploding into the new Undisputed World Title belt. As the graphic fades, the Hell in a Cell structure begins lowering from the ceiling and the fans start cheering wildly.
Nick Webb: Here we go! It's time for our main event!
Rayne: What about Elena Simonova? We haven't heard one word about her status yet!
Nick Webb: I imagine we won't have to wait long here to find out.
Scott Benjamin: Introducing first, he hails from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada... weighing in tonight at 220 pounds... he is the Straight Shooter... he is MATT STONE!!!
"Whoa is Me" by Down With Webster hits the BlazenTron and the crowd immediately starts booing.
Say whoa (whoa)
The more I feel it (whoa)
The more I need it (whoa)
You say whoa
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
Matt Stone comes out from the back to a chorus of boos. He struts down the ramp towards the ring, wearing his patterned hoodie with a large Maple Leaf on the back. He threatens to hit a member of the crowd who was holding up a Canada sucks sign and just walks on.
The more I feel it (whoa)
The more I need it (whoa)
You say whoa
Whoa is me
I'm so whoa
Stone stops at the Hell in a Cell, looking it up and down. He starts to climb the cell before hopping down, laughing at the people in the crowd who thought that he was going to climb to the top to start the match. He walks in through the door and rolls in the ring, getting up and having a look around at the structure, awaiting for his opponent.
Nick Webb: Even in the midst of this devilish structure, Matt Stone can't stop himself from trolling the fans here in Seattle.
Rayne: Hey, the guy's about to get seriously hardcore. If he wants to blow off some steam before the bell rings, he has every right to!
Scott Benjamin: Introducing next, he hails from Skymont, Tennessee... weighing in tonight at 262 pounds... he is a BWF Hall of Famer... he is The PWNStar... he is CASEY CAMPBELL!!!
The lights go out as LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It" starts kicking up through the arena. Bright rainbow neon lights start flashing all through the arena as smoke starts to fill up the entrance.
When I walk in the spot (yeah), this is what I see (ok)
Everybody stops and they staring at me
The smoke starts to part in the middle revealing a god like figure standing at the entrance. Hands on his hips and wearing a pair of purple camo pants.
I got passion in my pants and I ain't afraid to show it, show it, show it, show it
Casey Campbell then rips away the pants and throws them onto the ground as bright explosions start going off behind him.
I'M SEXY AND I KNOW IT!!!
Casey then makes his way slowly down the entrance ramp all the while flexing off his muscles and rotating his hips for the ladies. All the women erupting almost drowning out the music from such an amazing physique gracing them with his presence.
Ah... Girl look at that body
Ah... I work out
Ah... Girl look at that body
I work out!
Casey stops here, admiring the structure that will hope to contain him before walking through the door, having it closed and locked behind him with a steel chain and padlock. Casey starts moving up the steps to the ring, he would stop at the last one doing a Captain Morgan pose. Both hands on the back of his head and pelvic thrusting for just a few seconds but for the female audience it felt like eternity in heaven. Finally stepping into the squared circle Casey would stand in the middle with his arms extended out, letting everybody finally embrace and take in the presence of a true Superstar, Matt having his back turned slightly fiddling around.
Nick Webb: I think it's safe to say who the fans in Seattle want to see win this match tonight. Casey Campbell is a BWF Hall of Famer. He's been a part of the BWF family for nearly ten years. But, there's one accolade that has always eluded him - the BWF World Championship. If Casey can beat Stone and Simonova tonight, he can finally fulfill what he once called his destiny!
Rayne: That's a BIG 'if', Nick. Stone or Simonova one on one would be a difficult feat to accomplish. To have to face both of them here in the same match... well, let's just say the oddsmakers in Vegas aren't placing many bets on Campbell winning the title here tonight. I should know. I got a couple thousand down on Stone, myself!
Scott Benjamin: And finally, introducing their opponent... she is the current and reigning Undisputed BWF World Champion... hailing from New-
Halfway through Benjamin's introduction, "Radioactive" by Within Temptation starts playing on the BlazenTron and BWF C.E.O. Emily Corlen walks out onto the stage, carrying the Undisputed BWF World Championship over her shoulder.
Emily Corlen: Cut the music... thank you. Earlier tonight, the Undisputed BWF World Champion Elena Simonova and an assisting cameraman were assaulted backstage and severely injured by an unknown assailant. My officials are working on trying to figure out just who was behind this heinous attack. However...
Emily looks down worriedly.
Emily Corlen: ... although we do not yet know the extent of her injuries, Elena Simonova remains at a nearby medical facility at this time and, as a result, will be unable to compete in tonight's Hell in a Cell Match.
Universal boos from the crowd, potentially anticipating a cancellation of the title match.
Emily Corlen: As a result of this, I'm afraid that I have no choice but to strip Elena Simonova of the Undisputed BWF World Championship, effective immediately. Mr. Kosiboski, go ahead and start the match. Your main event is now Matt Stone versus Casey Campbell in a Hell in a Cell Match for the vacant Undisputed BWF World Championship.
Another pause from the C.E.O.
Emily Corlen: Ring the bell.
DING!
The official, referee Mike Kosiboski, does so as one of the techs around the ring heads up to the stage and is handed the title by Emily. The C.E.O. heads backstage as the crowd starts cheering wildly.
Nick Webb: I don't believe it! We're guaranteed a new Undisputed BWF World Champion here tonight!
Rayne: Bad luck for Elena Simonova, but possibly the best thing that could have happened for Matt Stone and Casey Campbell!
Nick Webb: On one hand, yes, but on the other, any strategies they might have had just went out the window!
As the bell sounds, Stone isn’t really in the mood to take in the presence of Casey and dashes towards him, ducking under a right hand and hitting the ropes behind him, coming back quickly before Campbell can turn around and dropping him with a chop block. With Casey down on one knee, Stone pops up and starts hammering Casey’s forehead with punch after punch. As the camera zooms in, we can see that Matt has a pair of brass knuckles on his right hand, presumably what he was doing during Casey’s entrance. For the safety of Casey, the referee tries to step in to stop Matt, but Stone is having none of it, finally shoving Casey down to the mat after blood starts pouring out of the PWNstar. Matt looks out to all the screaming Seattle fans, then shouts to Benjamin “Get the belt ready!” Stone goes down for the first cover of the match.
1!
2!
Casey shoots his right shoulder up off the mat.
Nick Webb: Matt Stone is nothing if not confident. Nothing new for a man who calls himself the Abominable Showman.
Stone smirks a bit, seeing that Casey wants some more punishment, something he’d be more than willing to dish out. Matt lifts Casey’s head to angle another round of blows, but Casey is able to block the first brass-knuck punch and catch Stone’s jaw with a punch of his own, rocking the Straight Shooter. Casey gets to his feet, blood dripping down his face and he blocks a second right hand by Stone, this time catching him in the midsection with a deep knee lift, grasping Stone’s right arm and locking him in an armbar, but rather than focus on applying pressure, he focuses his attention on the brass knuckles, ripping them off Stone’s hand. Matt is able to wiggle free of the armbar and drops down to the mat, sliding out of the ring.
Rayne: Brass knuckles are BRILLIANT, by the way. Anything's legal in a Cell match! Just wanted to add that in.
Casey shows the crowd the brass knuckles in the air before putting them on himself and locking eyes with Stone outside the ring. Casey runs at the ropes and slides underneath, Stone starting to circle the ring away from him. Casey gives chase and as Stone glances back to see if Casey is gaining on him, Matt trips over the steel steps at ringside and does a header to the mat outside, rolling into his back holding his head.
Nick Webb: Oh, my! Stone just tripped up on the steel steps! That's bad news for the former PWA World Champ!
The crowd erupts seeing that, Casey just smiles as he approaches the downed villain. Stone is starting to crawl backwards, looking for any separation he can get as Casey bears down on him. As Casey approaches, Stone shoots forward with a straight kick to Campbell’s right knee. Matt kips up from the prone position and immediately leaps in the air, catching Casey unaware with an enziguri that dazes and knocks him back. Matt is again quickly to his feet as he dashes at Campbell, but Casey ducks down and Stone leaps over him right into the steel cage wall! The crowd erupts again as Stone’s flesh meets steel. Casey grabs him by the back of the head and tosses him once again into the steel wall, then a third time! The crowd is loving it as Casey looks at the brass weapon on his hand and thinks for a moment, shaking his head. He approaches the door and tries to open it, despite it being locked. It doesn’t budge against the steel chain that holds it in place, but that isn’t a match for Casey as he really pulls on it and rips the door right off the hinges!
Rayne: HOLY SH-...! So much for this match being contained inside the Cell!
With the door now more or less removed, Casey grips the small weapon and tosses it down the aisle, watching it soar up the ramp in a rather impressive shot put performance. It only takes a moment of admiring it though before Casey is immediately doubled over from a low blow by the Name Dropper himself, Matt Stone. An audible boo is heard as Stone tosses Casey back inside the ring. The camera catches a good shot of Stone’s face as he turns back to the ring, a visible cut is seen above his right eye, but not as severe as the gash on Casey’s forehead. Matt slips in under the bottom rope and approaches Campbell, who springs to life with a quick powerslam! The crowd cheers as Casey hooks Matt’s outside leg for a cover, catching the referee slightly out of position who quickly goes down to count.
1!
2!
Kickout!
Nick Webb: Campbell shrugs off Matt's low blow and almost gets the win there.
Rayne: In before "Casey's got shriveled man bits"?
Casey grabs ahold of Stone’s head and locks him in a deep chinlock, trying to drain the energy of the smaller man while also catching his own breath. With Casey’s forearm slipping under Stone’s chin, it actually turns more into a choke hold, which is perfectly legal within the confines of the Hell in a Cell.
Nick Webb: That's more of a choke and less of a chin lock. One of course is legal, the other definitely not.
Rayne: And neither of which matters since CELL MATCHES ARE NO DQ! Have you SEEN this match yet?
Stone is in a lot more trouble now than he was a moment ago and he knows he needs to get out of this as soon as he can. He reaches up to Casey’s already bloody face and rakes his eyes, loosening the hold. Matt squirms out from under Campbell’s forearm and elbows him in the ribs to create a little more separation, enough to allow him to escape the grasp altogether and get back to a vertical base, but Casey is already back to his as well and he charges at Stone, knocking him flat back to the mat with a shoulder tackle. Casey grabs Stone’s head and lifts him back to his feet, backing him into a corner. Casey quickly mounts Stone from this position and starts hammering rights down at him. The crowd counting along with the blows up to seven before Casey pauses for a second, taking the time to pose for the crowd before hammering down the final three blows. Casey gets down and grasps Stone’s right arm, pulling him as hard as he can for an Irish Whip across the ring and into the opposite corner, Stone hitting it so hard he flips over the turnbuckle and crashes down to the mat outside the ring. We cut to a split shot backstage where we see Katrina Evans and Elizabeth Davis watching the action on a monitor backstage with eager anticipation.
Nick Webb: Stone's 'girls' watching backstage, looks like they're nervous for him.
Rayne: Or excited that he's soon going to be the new Undisputed Champion! Seriously, why do you ALWAYS have to be so negative?
The camera shows Stone struggling to get up, using the chain links in the fence to assist him, unaware that Casey is back on the prowl. Having rolled out of the ring, Casey is trying to sneak up on Stone, hamming it up a bit as he does, motioning for the crowd to be silent. With a clear line of fire to Stone, and with Matt’s back turned, it's the perfect time for Casey to charge, which he does, connecting his bicep to the back of Stone’s head, connecting with a devastating Brush of Greatness (Clothesline from Hell but to the back of the head)!
Nick Webb: Brush of Greatness! Stone's been knocked silly!
Matt crumbles down to the ground once again and the crowd is really getting behind Casey at this point. Campbell lifts Stone up and rolls him back in the ring, getting ready to put away the Straight Shooter once and for all. Casey gets back inside the ring, clapping his hands, getting ready for matt to get to his feet. Stone starts to rise and has his body trapped between Casey’s arms, being locked in another of Casey’s patented moves, the Bear to Belly Suplex(Locking in a bear hug then when he weakens them he hits a Belly to Belly Suplex). After the suplex, Casey hooks Matt’s leg.

Matt gets his shoulder up again.
Rayne: Matt Stone will not stay down! Attaboy, Matty! Make me some money!
Casey doesn’t get discouraged though, rather he presses on, grabbing Stone by the back of the head and whipping him across the ring, getting prepared and catching Stone on the rebound with his The Cool Down (Black Hole Slam)! Once again, Casey hooks the leg!
1!
2!
3-Kick out!
This was a closer fall than the previous one, but the referee still held up two fingers showing everyone that Stone was able to kick out. Casey once again grabs Stone by the back of the head and starts lifting him up to his feet, this time running into the ropes himself and charging in, looking to hit Stone with his famous spear, but the Abominable Showman was able to jump into Casey and grab his head, driving his knee into Campbell’s jaw and pull him straight down, hitting him with the C-c-c-c-combo Breaker!
Nick Webb: COMBO BREAKER!
Rayne: No, Nick... that was the C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
Both men are lying on the mat, breathing heavily. Despite hitting his move, Matt is unable to capitalize with a cover in a reasonable amount of time, and as he composes himself, Casey is already stirring as well, starting to get to his feet. Rather than go for the cover, Matt just rolls out of the ring and starts to walk out of the cell through the door that Casey and ripped down. Stone takes one more glance into the ring where Casey and he lock eyes before he starts to climb up the structure. The crowd start cheering, as this time Matt is actually climbing up and not just trolling the fans. He’s half-way up the cell before Casey is out of the ring and just as Casey starts to climb, Matt gets to the roof. The camera zooms in on Stone as he starts speaking. “C’mon Casey, let’s get dangerous.” Despite his words, Stone is guarding the top, not allowing Casey to reach. The crowd starts booing as Casey climbs back down, unable to find a clear path. Casey thinks for a moment, and then gets an idea. He heads back inside the cell and pulls up the apron, looking underneath the ring and starts pulling out a steel ladder, presumably there from the earlier ladder match between Outlaw and AJ Adams.
Nick Webb: What in the world is Casey thinking here?
Rayne: Maybe he got confused and thought this was a Hellbound Match?
Casey slides the ladder into the ring and grabs a steel chair to boot. Stone looks down through the chain links to see what Casey is doing, along with the crowd. Casey opens up his ladder and starts climbing it, holding the chair in his left hand. The crowd starts cheering for Casey and he reaches the top of the ladder and starts pulling at the center tile in the cell. Matt is standing over him, laughing at him as he seemingly struggles to do anything but in an instant, the panel is pulled down to the mat! Stone’s eyes widen as Casey grabs the chair out from the point in the ladder he jammed it and Campbell swings it up, hitting Matt’s knees dead on. Stone screams out in pain and backs up, falling onto the ceiling, allowing Casey to climb up, using his upper body to pull himself up on the roof!
Nick Webb: What is happening here!? This is unprecedented!
Casey is now standing on the top of the structure, Matt is starting to get to his feet, but he’s at a severe disadvantage. Casey hammers down a right hand on Stone’s jawline, and Matt backs up closer to the edge of the cell. Casey takes another step towards Matt and hammers down another hard shot, Stone backing up another step backwards towards the edge. Once again, the camera splits to a shot backstage of Katrina and Elizabeth looking on intently, Casey going for a third blow, but Stone gets his arm up to block and lunges forward with a headbutt! This catches Casey by surprise and he takes a step back. Matt shakes his head to try and clear the cobwebs, but Casey presses on, going for another shot, but this time Stone rolls under Casey’s arm near the center, needing to stop himself before falling through. Casey turns around and gets a shot right to the head with the steel chair! Stone swings again, connecting with a second shot to the head! Stone swings a third time, but Casey catches the weapon and tosses it to the side, having it slide off the structure. Casey is still woozy from the blows, but he swings a hard right at one of the two Matt Stone’s he’s currently seeing, unfortunately for him, it’s the one that’s not real and Matt as Matt is able to take a step back before lunging forward and connecting with his Go Go Gadget Foot! (Superkick) The blow knocks Casey backwards and he takes a step behind him to regain his balance, but there’s nothing to stand on and Casey falls right through the center! He misses the ladder entirely and lands back first on the mat!!
Rayne: YES!
Nick Webb: OH MY GOD! He could be dead, dammit!
The Seattle crowd starts chanting ‘Holy Shit” and the look on Stone’s face reflects that statement. Cutting back, both Liz and Katrina look stunned at the action, Katrina cheering on Matt as Liz just watches silently. Matt gets down and hangs on to the side and he crawls through the roof, getting his feet on the ladder to climb down safely, but that would be for suckers. Sitting on top of the ladder now, Matt checks his wrist where a watch should be before pointing his hand to the back in some sort of gesture before leaping off the ladder to come down crashing on Casey Campbell with a “new” move, the Aerotica (Swanton Bomb)!
Rayne: That's Katie James' finisher! I guess Matt's B.A.D. move doesn't even require an opponent who's competing in the match to use it! HA!
The crowd is buzzing, some are cheering, some are booing, but the most important thing is they’re into the match. Stone is nursing his back, but Casey hasn’t moved since he landed. Nevertheless, Stone crawls over and makes a cover, just draping his arm across Casey’s chest as the referee gets down to end this madness.
1!
2!
3-NO!!! Kick out!
Nick Webb: I DON'T BELIEVE IT! HE KICKED OUT! HE KICKED OUT!
Stone’s eyes tell the story as Casey was able to kick out. He seems almost incensed at the result and he gets up, storming over to one of the turnbuckles and rips off the middle cover, reaching inside it and getting a second pair of brass knuckles!
Rayne: BRILLIANT! That explains why Matt was sneaking around the ring a few hours before the show! Matt Stone is the "Most Intelligent Man in Professional Wrestling", and you can quote that on a damn t-shirt! Next Undisputed World Champion, baby!
Matt puts the weapon over his fist and calls for Casey to get up, almost begging for it. The camera can pick up Stone shouting “Get up you dumb son of a bitch” and other expletives. There’s a dead glare coming from the Canadian as Casey turns around to meet Matt’s stare right before Stone leaps forward and brings down the fist, delivering the FALCON PAWNCH!!! (Straight right hand with brass knucks)! We see Matt give a sigh of relief before dropping to his knees and going for another cover.
1!
2!
3-NO! Another kickout!
Nick Webb: I don't believe it! Somehow, someway, Casey Campbell WILL. NOT. DIE. TONIGHT! Hell, at this rate, he may very well have to if Matt's going to be able to beat him!
Both of Matt’s hands go to his forehead as he actually starts pulling out his hair. He can’t believe how resilient Casey is being. Matt takes a deep breath and grabs Casey’s right leg, rolling him over on his chest with his leg in the air, bringing it over Matt’s neck and pulling down on it as hard as he can, locking Casey in The Faith Breaker (Argentine Leglock)!
Rayne: THAT'S EMILY CORLEN'S SUBMISSION FINISHER! BWAHAHAHAHA! I LOVE IT!!!
Matt pulls down as hard as he can on Casey’s leg, applying as much pressure as he can. Casey comes to life as the pain shoots through his body, but Stone doesn’t seem to have the upper body strength in order to make this hold as effective as it could be. The crowd start chanting for Casey as he he tries to make it to the ropes, though really Stone wouldn’t have to break the hold if he got there, it's all instinct at this point for the Hall of Famer. He inches closer, Matt not having the position exactly right to prevent his momentum, then suddenly Casey flings his leg out and Matt is sent flying across the ring! Campbell has effectively broken the Faith Breaker, a feat in it of itself in this business. The camera zooms in on Stone as he mutters to himself “That move sucks” and as he turns to Casey he’s trampled, knucks go flying out of the ring! Stone gets PWNED!!! (Point-Blank Spear)!
Nick Webb: PWNED! PWNED! PWNED!
Rayne: Nooooo!
Nick Webb: Listen to this Seattle crowd! This arena is ELECTRIC!
The crowd scream out as Matt hits the canvas, Casey hooking his inside leg with the referee getting down to count.
1!
2!
3-NO!!
The crowd groans as Matt just rolls off his left shoulder to break the cover.
Rayne: STONE IS STILL IN IT! YES!
A “this is awesome” chant starts up with both men down on the mat, not having much else available to them that they haven’t tried. Stone rolls away from Casey, holding his ribs, coughing as he struggles to breathe properly. Casey grabs the middle rope near to him and starts pulling himself up as well, getting ready to go back on the offensive. Out of pure instinct, Casey charges Matt again, perhaps going for another PWNED, but Matt rolls out of the way. leaving Casey to run into the ropes! He catches himself and turns around, only to be caught by a C-c-c-c-combo Breaker by Matt Stone!
Nick Webb: WAIT!
Indeed, Casey caught Matt's legs and roll forward into a bridged pin!
1!
2!
3-KICKOUT!
Matt kicks out of the bridged pin! Both men scramble to their feet and face another, only for Casey to catch Stone dead center with another PWNED!!! The crowd leaps to their feet as Casey rolls into the cover, hooking both legs!
1!
2!
3!
DING DING DING!!!
The roof comes off of the KeyArena as Scott Benjamin makes the announcement...
Scott Benjamin: Ladies and gentlemen... here is your winner as the result of a pinfall... and NEW Undisputed BWF World Champion... The PWNStar... CASEY... CAMPBELL!!!
LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It" starts kicking up through the arena as Casey Campbell sits up in disbelief. The crowd is roaring as Casey just soaks it all in while the Cell structure starts to raise itself back up to the ceiling.
Nick Webb: TEN YEARS! It took Casey Campbell TEN YEARS to get here, but God as my witness, he has made it to the top of the mountain! Casey Campbell is the Undisputed World Champion of the BWF!
Rayne: BULL... SHIT. Tonight was Matt Stone's night! This is a TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE! As far as I'm concerned, Campbell owes this title win to whoever had the balls to take out Simonova earlier tonight! In fact, I -
Suddenly, the lights in the arena cut to black, cutting off Rayne in mid-sentence.
Nick Webb: What's going on? Did someone forget to pay the ele-
Rayne: OH, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. NOBODY FORGOT TO PAY THE ELECTRIC BILL. Seriously, get some new material, man.
Nick Webb: You're just pissed that Casey cost you a thousand dollars!
Rayne: .......................or ten..................
Nick Webb: (laughing hysterically) Are you kidding me? TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS?!
Rayne: I thought Stone was a sure thing, dammit!
While Rayne and Webb continue to bicker, the lights in the arena come back on... and the crowd utters a collective gasp.
Nick Webb: Oh my God, Rayne! That's-!
Standing in the ring, surrounding Casey Campbell and Matt Stone, are Allen Chaney and Spyke Gein. Before anybody can react, Spyke kicks Casey hard in the side of the head, knocking him loopy. Allen, meanwhile, lines himself up behind the groggy Stone and pulls his head up before curb stomping him hard into the mat. The two men begin laying into Casey and Matt with a serious beatdown as the crowd boos loudly.
Rayne: What the hell is this all about?
Nick Webb: Hang on, Rayne... do you think these guys...?
Rayne: You think they're the ones who put Elena in the hospital?
Nick Webb: I don't know... dammit, someone get in there and stop this!
Katrina and Liz run out from behind the curtain, but neither one is willing to approach the ring even as Chaney and Gein stop and Allen motions for the ladies to try their luck. When neither one budges, Allen and Spyke begin laying into Matt and Casey further as the crowd boos loudly. As Allen continues the assault, Spyke rolls out of the ring and checks underneath, coming up with a sledgehammer and a roll of barbed wire. He tosses the barbed wire to Allen, who immediately begins wrapping it around both Stone and Casey, tying them together. He pulls the wire tight enough that both men begin bleeding even as Spyke lines up the sledgehammer right between both men's heads. He rears back and prepares to swing, but the crowd suddenly roars as most of the BWF roster pours out onto the stage!
Nick Webb: Here come the reinforcements!
They charge the ring and slide inside, prompting Allen and Spyke to make a quick exit, hopping the barricade and retreating into the crowd. Austin Scott, Zoe Cooper and AJ Adams begin unwrapping Matt and Casey as the rest of the BWF roster surrounds them.
Rayne: The BWF family protects their own! It's moments like this that make me damn proud to be a member of this company!
Nick Webb: Even if you are poorer now than you were an hour ago.
Rayne: SHUT UP, NICK!
As Allen and Spyke taunt the BWF roster, Emily Corlen walks out onto the stage flanked with security guards.
Emily Corlen: Those men are NOT contracted BWF superstars. Arrest them - IMMEDIATELY!
The security guards take off toward the section of the arena where Allen and Spyke are, but both men bolt and are already gone before the security can reach them. Back in the ring, Matt and Casey have been freed from the barbed wire and Katrina hugs Matt (who yells in pain) while Liz helps Casey up worriedly. The rest of the BWF roster looks on as the crowd starts cheering loudly for everyone involved.
Nick Webb: The last few moments of this event have been all kinds of bizarre. Why were Allen Chaney and Spyke Gein here? Why did they assault Matt Stone and Casey Campbell?
Rayne: Are they the ones who took out Elena Simonova? What on Earth started here tonight?
Nick Webb: I have no idea, but hopefully come the next episode of Havok, we'll have ourselves some answers. Folks, despite the actions of a vocal few, we had an amazing event here tonight, complete with two new Champions and a Hell in a Cell Match that is likely to be remembered for a long time to come, and not just because of what came after it. Congratulations once again to Casey Campbell, your NEW Undisputed BWF World Champion! For Rayne, I'm Nick Webb... good night from Seattle! We'll see you on the next Havok! Hopefully, we'll have some answers by then!
We see one last image of the BWF roster gathered in the ring before the pay-per-view feed fades to the BWF logo, and then finally to black.
