Heaven's Arena Tour 4/14/2018

SSW PRESENTS: HEAVEN'S ARENA TOUR! April 14th, 2018 LIVE! From The Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan!

----

(The feed for the show starts up to where it begins inside of The Makuhari Messe, panning around the fans on their feet in anticipation… “S.O.A.R” by Devour the Day hits and the crowd goes wild as Jacob Senn walks down to the ring. Senn grabs a microphone before stepping up into the ring and taking in the crowd before beginning to speak.)

Jacob Senn: I’m going to have to say, being out here in this suit instead of my ring gear is a humbling experience. There’s definitely some unfinished business that I wanted to take care of, but I think now it’s time to think about what’s more important - my career, or the future of wrestling as a whole. You all know me, I’d pull out that shovel any day, any time, and put whatever sorry bastard that’d get in my way six feet under without any mercy towards the poor sap. Then again… when I think about why I came here to Japan, to Strong Style Wrestling, the perspective has changed from what it used to be. I have a chance here to do something greater than what I had done anywhere else in my career. I have the chance to do something special as the COO of SSW, and dammit that’s what I’m going to do! After all I’ve done in the professional wrestling world, all the titles I’ve won and all the places I’ve been, it’s time to look forward to creating and securing the future of professional wrestling not only in Japan, but across the globe!

(The crowd pops and Senn smiles as he takes it in, looking down before beginning to speak.)

Jacob Senn: That’s why… That’s why I think it’s time to make a decision. I’ve seen the questions, I’ve seen the speculation - will Jacob Senn wrestle in SSW?

(The crowd starts a ‘Yes’ chant and Senn laughs before a somber look takes over his face.)

Jacob Senn: As much as I’d want to, the real reason I’m out here… is to announce that as of today, I am officially ret---

(“Bombtrack” by Rage Against the Machine begins to play around the arena to cheers from the crowd as Stark walks down to the ring with a microphone in hand. Jacob Senn looks at Stark with an annoyed look on his face for interrupting his announcement.)

Stark: Hold up, hold up, hold up. Don’t you dare finish that sentence. Retirement, Senn? Retirement?

(Stark gets in Jacob Senn’s face, and Senn stares him down.)

Jacob Senn: Before you suffer a penalty for interrupting me, I suggest you get out of this ring, walk to the back, and learn your place here.

Stark: Really now? Am I interrupting the retirement speech of a coward? Because there’s no way in hell I’m letting you hang your boots up before you tie them up one more time and give me the match I’ve wanted since the day I made my return to wrestling in the last promotion you and I stood together in.

Jacob Senn: Yeah, you challenged me then and I said no, and the same answer stands. Now get out of the ring.

Stark: I don’t think I’m going anywhere, actually. Listen, I’m on the tail-end of my career myself, but unlike you, I’m not going to be able to live with myself or sleep peacefully at night until all of MY unfinished business is taken care of.

Jacob Senn: That sounds like a personal problem to me, Stark and none of my concern. Now, get out of my ring, right now, before I call security down here and humiliate you worse than you’ve already done yourself.

Stark: Alright… Alright… If there’s no other way to change your mind --

(Stark spikes Jacob Senn in the head with his microphone and the crowd erupts into deafening boos.)

Stark: You made me do this. You’re going to sit here and take this, Senn?

(Stark starts disrespectfully kicking at Senn’s head and body, before taking a few steps back. Senn starts to push himself up to his feet and Stark nails him with the Ego Death, landing his boot straight against the side of Senn’s head. Medical staff rushes down to the ring and Stark rolls out of the ring, leaving through the crowd.)

Stark [no-mic]: You’re just going to take that Senn? Have fun in retirement bud!

(Stark leaves through the crowd as they boo him heavily, while medical staff attends to Jacob Senn in the ring. The medical staff starts to help Jacob roll out of the ring to where he lands on the floor, being helped out of the ring by the staff at hand, to where Jacob starts to shove them off and hold his jaw from the kick. He starts to walk it off towards the backstage area as he shakes his head.)

(The camera turns away from the path towards the backstage to where it returns to the ring where the ring announcer stands in his corner… )

(The “Tres Comas Club” stinger preludes “Money, Power, Fame” by ContRoVersy as Miltiades and Matias Navarro enter the stage with Tomás Aguilar by Navarro’s side. The three make their way to the ring with a confident stride ignoring the crowd.)

Ring Announcer: The following contest IS A TAG TEAM MATCH SCHEDULED FROM ONE FALL!!! Introducing first! Representing Tres Comas Club! At a combined weight of 445 lbs! Accompanied by Tomás Aguilar!... MILTIADES!!! AND MATIAS NAVARRO!!!

Daniel Wilson: Tres Comas back again with even more impressive recruits. Miltiades is Roman royalty and Navarro has an impressive track record showing he has some potential.

Mark Stephens: Interesting enough we’re going to see these new Tres Comas signees face a returning Tres Comas OG on the team of Shoot Nation!

('Street Dreams' by Hollywood Undead hits to a contained cheer from the crowd. The Apparition steps out onto the stage shadow boxing a bit moving side to side.)

Ring Announcer: Introducing their opponents! Representing Shoot Nation! First, from Newfoundland, Canada! Weighing in at 205lbs! The Forgotten One!... THE APPARITION!!!

(The Apparition steps passed the stage and onto the ramp stopping about halfway as his music fades and 'Despair' by Piko plays to a bigger reaction from the crowd as the returning Jun Nobunaga walks out making an intimidating stride down the ramp meeting The Apparition so they may both make their way to the ring.)

Ring Announcer: And introducing his partner! From Ichikawa, Chiba, Japan! Weighing in at 209 lbs! Īe nansensu arimasen!... JUN NOBUNAGA!!!!

Wilson: This crowd is excited! They haven’t seen Jun perform in SSW since the hiatus ended.

Stephens: Indeed and with his more serious attitude and representing Shoot Nation against his former club, this battle is sure to be interesting.

(DING! DING! DING!)

Wilson: Miltiades and Jun Nobunaga are starting this one off circling the ring… They lock up and Jun with the experience advantage traps Miltiades in a wrist-lock wrenching hard on that hand forcing his shoulder to turn in an unpleasant position.

Stephens: Miltiades tries to roll out to escape but it does free the arm! Jun responds quick with a hard short arm chop to the chest! Miltiades drops to a knee! ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD FROM JUN!

Wilson: Miltiades is grasping the back of his neck! Jun is egging him on- MILTIADES WITH AN ENZIGURI! BOTH MEN GO CRASHING DOWN TO THE MAT! Miltiades is scrambling back to his feet but he looks wobbly!

Stephens: Miltiades dragging Jun back up but Jun isn’t as stunned as Miltiades needs him because he’s still fighting! Knees and elbows right into the ribs! ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE TEMPLE TO TOP IT OFF!

Wilson: Miltiades stumbles back and falls into his corner allowing Matias to get the tag! Smart move by Miltiades to get a fresh man in the ring but Jun isn’t done fighting yet. Navarro is sizing up his opponent while Aguilar yells from the outside!

Stephens: They meet in the middle. Jun goes for another Roundhouse but Matias ducks it and catches his opponent with a waist-lock! GERMAN SUPLEX! JUN NOBUNAGA ROLLS THROUGH! Both men back on their feet but Jun is dazed! ONE HAND CHOP FROM MATIAS! AND JUN RESPONDS WITH AND ELBOW TO THE FACE!

Wilson: What’s this? Jun going for a double leg picking Matias up off of his feet and steps backwards into a… STUN GUN! Matias stumbles back and Nobunaga hits the ropes for a RUNNING KNEE! MATIAS CAUGHT IT!!!

Stephens: MATIAS ABSORBED THE KNEE INTO HIS CHEST AND HAS HIS ARMS WRAPPED AROUND THE LEG OF NOBUNAGA!

Wilson: Matias has to be in pain but he has a sick smile on his face as Jun is trapped! MATIAS HEADBUTTS THE CHEST OF NOBUNAGA!

Stephens: Matias choosing offense that will allow him to keep Jun in his control! Another headbutt to the chest! Jun is hopping on one foot! Hold on, Jun is grabbing Matias by the head! OOH!

Crowd: *GASP*

JUN WITH A NASTY HEADBUTT INTO MATIAS AND BOTH MEN GO DOWN!

Wilson: Oh man, Jun might have hurt himself just as much as he hurt his opponent on that one but he’s still crawling into his corner to tag in The Apparition! Apparition goes for the cover!

Referee: ONE!!! ... TWO!

Stephens: MILTIADES KICKS APPARITION RIGHT IN THE FACE TO BREAK THE PIN!

Wilson: The referee is pushing Miltiades back into his corner but lucky for him Matias is stirring back up to his feet while The Apparition grabs a hold of his face! Matias finds his balance and scoops Apparition up and onto his shoulder!

Stephens: He’s turning towards Miltiades in their corner! LAWN DART! MATIAS HIT THE LAWN DART AND TAGS IN MILTIADES!

Wilson: Miltiades rolls The Apparition out of the corner and looks to be setting up for Nero’s Last Call! He runs off the ropes-

Stephens: JUN NOBUNAGA WITH A STIFF KICK TO THE FACE OF MILTIADES OUT OF NOWHERE! MATIAS GOES AFTER NOBUNAGA BUT NOBUNAGA HITS HIM WITH NUMEROUS STRIKES BACKING HIM INTO THE ROPES! JUN HITS MATIAS WITH A LARIAT SENDING BOTH MEN OUT OF THE RING!

Wilson: Miltiades is reeling from that kick! The Apparition grabs him from behind! Looking to take advantage! PHANTASM! MILTIADES JUST GOT HIT WITH THE PHANTASM! THE APPARITION BRIDGES FOR THE PIN!

Referee: ONE!!!...TWO!!!...THREEEEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

('Street Dreams' by Hollywood Undead hits to applause from the crowd and Jun Nobunaga slides back into the ring to get his hand raised with his partner.)

Stephens: What a finish! Both teams put on quite the showing but Shoot Nation proved to be just a bit more cohesive and a bit more quick on their feet and that gave them the victory tonight!

Wilson: Very true, and I think this is the best we’ve ever seen Jun Nobunaga! He was outstanding tonight as well as his partner and I’m sure this is only the beginning of what these two can do.

(Jun Nobunaga and The Apparition leave through the crowd victorious. Miltiades sits on the ring apron disappointed while Tomás Aguilar tends to Matias Navarro. Matias picks himself up and starts to walk out of the ring to where he leaves Tomás alone to pull Miltiades out of the ring and help him towards the backstage area to where the ring has been cleared.)

(The camera rises up to the titantron to showcase the following match that will take place for the Heaven’s Arena Cup Tournament with the ring announcer in the background announcing the match.)

Ring Announcer: The following contest scheduled for one fall IS A FIRST ROUND HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP MATCH!!!

(“The Man” by The Killers echoes throughout The Makuhari Messe to where the crowd starts to have a look of disappointment in their eyes when met with the confident gaze of Chase Vedder. He laughs at the stage to where he walks down the ramp with all the confidence in the world, almost borderline arrogance being exuded from him as he makes his entrance, to where he walks towards the ring.)

Ring Announcer: Introducing first, he is from Southbend, Indiana… he weighs in at 221 pounds… representing Tres Comas Club… “THE MAN”... CHHAAASSSSEEEEE VEEDDDDDDEEEERRRRR!!!

Mark Stephens: With tensions mounting between two members of the Tres Comas Club with Racer Smiles and himself, both men are looking to head towards The Heaven’s Arena Cup tournament with a victory for the faction! With a victory tonight, he could establish himself as the future contender to whatever championship he desires from SSW with being closer to the Heaven’s Arena Cup!

Daniel Wilson: Those rumors of tensions being made between Tres Comas Club are just that, rumors. Everything is fine in Tres Comas Club and Chase Vedder might have a few issues with Racer Smiles for the way their chances at becoming the inaugural Freebird Tag Team Champions might have went down, but this is an opportunity to where he could make sure to redeem himself!

(“Stinkfist” by Tool blasts from the speakers with the response from the crowd being a clap of respect to where Damien Walker steps out onto the stage with an excited look on his eyes as he points towards his opponent in the ring. He marches to the side of the ring and starts to make his way into the ring before Chase Vedder leaves out to where he can’t harm him.)

Ring Announcer: Introducing his opponent, he is from Defiance, Ohio… weighing in at 209 pounds… representing Ronin… “THE LOOSE CANNON”... DAAMMMIIIEEEENNNNN WAALLLKKKEEEERRRRR!!!

Daniel Wilson: This man looks like he could have more in common with a psych patient than he does with a wrestler, but that’s what makes him a surprise component in the Ronin team and makes perfect for the island of misfits! The Loose Cannon of the faction has now been paired with Chase Vedder for who will be advancing into the Heaven’s Arena Cup tournament!

Mark Stephens: This match is definitely bound to be quite interesting to watch! Damien Walker is certainly an unusual and unique type of wrestler in this ring, but that’s what will make him a fighter in this tournament to where he can stand at the end of it as the victor! He’s unpredictable, he’s a fighter, and tonight… he needs all of it to be able to earn that Heaven’s Arena Cup!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Mark Stephens: The bell has been called as the first match of The Heaven’s Arena Cup tournament is about to begin! Both Damien Walker and Chase Vedder walking around the ring to stare down one another WITH THEM LUNGING TO LOCK UP AGAINST EACH OTHER! Chase might have the weight advantage BUT DAMIEN DEFINITELY HAS THE STRENGTH TO OVERPOWER HIM TO WHERE HE FORCES HIM BACK INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! Chase holds his hands up to where he forces the break with Damien shoving him in the chest to back off! CHASE GETS BRAVE AND SHOVES DAMIEN RIGHT BACK TO WHERE THE LOOSE CANNON FALLS ON RIGHT DOWN ON THE RING!

Daniel Wilson: Chase Vedder crouches down and taunts at Damien Walker to stand up to his feet when he does, giving Chase a scowl of pure rage, as we start to see a sense of dread take over Vedder because of this! Chase starts to raise his hands to try and attempt to make sure Damien calms down BUT DAMIEN RUSHES IN FOR A LARIAT! CHASE DUCKS UNDER AND RUNS OVER TOWARDS THE ROPES TO WHERE HE LEAPS ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE! SPRINGBOARD ROUNDHOUSE KICK! BICYCLE KICK! DAMIEN BLASTS CHASE IN THE FACE WITH THE BICYCLE KICK TO WHERE HE ROLLS HIMSELF FROM THE CANVAS ONTO THE FLOOR! Damien has those wild eyes on his face to where Chase is on the outside holding his chin from the kick to the face! Damien sprints back into the ropes and rushes back FLYING THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE ROPES FOR THE SUICIDE DIVE!

Mark Stephens: DAMIEN WALKER FLIES ACROSS THE RING AND LANDS RIGHT INTO CHASE VEDDER WITH THE SUICIDE DIVE TO WHERE HE LIFTS HIS HANDS UP TO TAUNT TO THE CLAPPING CROWD! Damien grabs Chase by the head as he throws him right back into the ring to where he stands on the ring apron while the referee is about to count him down! Damien screams at the referee to shove those counts where the sun doesn’t shine RIGHT BEFORE CHASE IS ABLE TO LAND A TRIANGLE DROPKICK RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF DAMIEN TO SEND HIM TO THE OUTSIDE! Damien landed on the outside with Chase climbing his way up to the top turnbuckle to where he looks down onto Damien FLYING FROM THE TOP ROPE FOR THE DIVING CROSSBODY TO THE OUTSIDE!

Daniel Wilson: CHASE VEDDER LANDS ALL OF THE DIVING CROSSBODY INTO DAMIEN WALKER TO WHERE HE STANDS UP TO HIS FEET! Chase starts to stand on his feet to where takes a moment to give a laugh of arrogance towards the crowd, celebrating in their misfortune of him, as he turns himself around to see Damien start to use the ring apron to stand to his feet! The referee keeps telling them to get back to his feet to where Chase waves him off and rushes in MET WITH A THRUST KICK INTO THE STOMACH BY DAMIEN WALKER! Chase hunches over to where Damien runs as he grabs Chase by the head LEAPING ONTO THE RING APRON AND DROPPING VEDDER ON HIS HEAD WITH THE TORNADO DDT ONTO THE OUTSIDE! DAMIEN IS DOING WHATEVER HE CAN TO BE ABLE TO PUT CHASE AWAY IN THIS MATCH, BUT THE REFEREE IS NOW COMPELLED TO START THE COUNT!

Referee: ONE!... TWO!... THREE!

Mark Stephens: Damien Walker stands up to his feet and throws Chase Vedder right back into the ring before he follows through to stop the count by the referee! Damien stands at the turnbuckle corner and starts to stomp in excitement LOOKING FOR THE PAINKILLER TO KNOCK THE TRES COMAS CLUB MEMBER OUT OF THE HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP TOURNAMENT! Chase pushes himself up to his feet to where he turns around WITH DAMIEN SPRINTING IN FOR THE RUNNING KNEE STRIKE! WAIT A SECOND! CHASE CATCHES DAMIEN AND ROLLS HIM UP ON HIS BACK FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT! COULD CHASE STEAL THE VICTORY RIGHT HERE!

Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!!... THHHRRREEE!

Daniel Wilson: WOW! CHASE VEDDER IS UNABLE TO PUT DAMIEN WALKER AWAY TO WHERE HE THROWS HIS SHOULDER UP FOR THE KICKOUT! Chase pounds his fist into the canvas with disappointment at the fact he couldn’t end this match right here to steal the victory as he stands right back to his feet to think of the next step to seal this victory! Chase grabs Damien by the head and pulls him up to his feet LIFTING HIM UP IN THE AIR TO WHERE HE DROPS HIM WITH THE CRASH LANDING! A FALL FORWARD SUPLEX TO WHERE DAMIEN IMPACTS THE CANVAS WITH HIS CHEST AS HE STARTS TO PICK HIMSELF UP! Chase directs his attention towards the ropes to where he makes a sprint towards them, rebounding off the ropes, as he makes his return LOOKING TO STRIKE WITH THE MIDWESTERN LARIAT TO THE BACK OF HIS NECK!

Mark Stephens: DAMIEN WALKER DUCKS AND SPINS OUT THE MIDWESTERN LARIAT TO WHERE HE SPRINTS BACK TO THE ROPES WHILE CHASE VEDDER CONTINUES HIS STRIDE INTO THE ROPES! Chase rebounds off the ropes to where he meets in the middle STRUCK BY DAMIEN WITH THE PAINKILLER! RUNNING KNEE LIFT RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF CHASE TO WHERE THE MAN COLLAPSES STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Damien raises his hand in confidence as he points down towards his opponent to where he could be preparing for the end! Damien marches towards him and grabs Chase by the neck, pulling him between his legs, hooking his arms AS DAMIEN LOOKS TO END THIS WITH THE CRANIAL CONTUSION! HOLD UP! CHASE FIGHTS HIS WAY OUT OF THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK PILEDRIVER AND PULLS ON DAMIEN’S LEGS TO DROP HIM ON HIS BACK! CHASE FLOATS OVER AND HOOKS DAMIEN BY THE LEGS AS HE LOOKS TO GO FOR THE SURPRISE PIN ATTEMPT ONCE MORE!

Referee: ONNNEEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!!... THHHRRREEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“The Man” by The Killers plays in the background to where Chase Vedder rolls out of the ring to with a smile on his face, one that makes it where some of the fans would love to go out there and punch him in the face, as the referee is forced to walk out and raise his hand to signal the victory.)

Ring Announcer: Here is your winner AND ADVANCING TO THE QUARTERFINALS OF THE HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP TOURNAMENT… CHHAAASSSSEEEEE VEEDDDDDDEEEERRRRR!!!

Mark Stephens: Are you kidding me? That’s how he advances into the tournament? Damien Walker had him beat in the middle of the ring, but Chase Vedder sneaks out a pin attempt and is able to keep his shoulders down long enough to steal his way through advancing to the quarterfinals of The Heaven’s Arena Cup tournament!

Daniel Wilson: Smart thinking in that ring and the ring awareness to know that he could have stolen the match right there, that’s what makes Chase Vedder such a threat in this tournament! He’ll do whatever it takes to walk out with a victory to his name and tonight, Chase did just that to advance while Damien has to sit on the sidelines!

(The crowd looks on with displeasure at the way that Chase Vedder won this match to where he scoff with them off, laughing with delight at being able to advance through the tournament, to where he makes his exit backstage. Damien Walker, furious with himself and the referee, gives the referee a scowl while screaming at himself about the defeat before exiting the ring. He shakes his head in disappoint as the fans clap for his effort as he leaves to the backstage area.)

Ring Announcer: The following contest is set for one fall!!!!

(“Nightcall” by Kavinsky hits to an anticipatory rumble from the crowd as Masakazu steps out from behind the curtain, walking to the ring with Watari by his side. Masakazu and Watari stand in the ring with focused looks on their faces as they await GREED.)

Ring Announcer: Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Watari, from Tokyo, Japan, weighing in at 220 pounds… MAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSAAAAAAAKKKKKKAAAAAAZZZZZZUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daniel Wilson: Masakazu and his dapper accomplice Watari are ready to take Strong Style Wrestling by storm! An ambitious and resourceful duo, the two are ready to do whatever it takes to ensure that Masakazu goes down as one of the all-time greats in SSW!

(“Hysteria” by Muse hits as GREED walks down to the ring to a mixed reaction from the crowd. GREED removes his robe and chains in the ring, handing them to the official while he stares down Masakazu.)

Ring Announcer: And his opponent, from Azabu, Japan, weighing in at 236 pounds… THE DEVIL OF AVARICE!!!!!... GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDD!!!!!!!

Mark Stephens: This is a man that wants it all and has the ability to take it all! There’s a lot of expectations on GREED right now - he has the resources from his ventures outside of professional wrestling and was still hailed as a top student in the SSW dojo. Let’s see how his training translates in action against a man who might have more experience in Masakazu!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Wilson: This match is underway and immediately both competitors lock up in the center of the ring! GREED gets a quick headlock on Masakazu but it’s quickly reversed into a waistlock from Masakazu! Masakazu lifts GREED up and goes for the takedown but GREED lands on his feet. GREED throws elbows back at Masakazu, separating the hold! GREED turns - INTO A CHOP STRAIGHT TO THE CHEST FROM MASAKAZU!!!!

Stephens: GREED looks more disrespected than anything by that piece of offense -- ROLLING ELBOW FROM GREED!!!! MASAKAZU SIDESTEPPED IT!!!! GREED’S EMOTIONS MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN THE BEST OF HIM - MASAKAZU ROLLS BEHIND GREED AND CUTS HIM DOWN WITH THE CALF CHOP!!!! MASAKAZU PICKS GREED RIGHT BACK UP AND CONNECTS THE SHINBREAKER!!!! Masakazu has GREED in a vulnerable spot as he runs to the ropes -- OH!!! GREED IS BACK ON HIS FEET!!!! GREED CATCHES MASAKAZU WITH A NEAR PICTURE PERFECT DROPKICK ON THE BUTTON!!!! MASAKAZU GOES RIGHT DOWN -- ONLY TO KIP BACK UP!!!!

Wilson: MASAKAZU COMES FORWARD WITH A BACKHAND!!!! GREED WOBBLES BACK AND MASAKAZU RUNS WITH THE KITCHEN SINK CAUSING GREED TO FLIP OVER ON HIS BACK!!!! MASAKAZU JUMPS WITH THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP BUT GREED ROLLS AWAY AND UP TO HIS FEET!!!! THE TWO MEN LOCK RIGHT BACK UP… MASAKAZU PUTS A SIDE HEADLOCK ON HIM AND TWISTS TO THE SIDE, CREATING SOME LEEWAY -- AND MASAKAZU BEGINS TO DRILL INTO GREED’S MIDSECTION WITH KNEE STRIKES!!!! KNEE AFTER KNEE CONNECTS WITH THE RIBS AND ABDOMEN OF GREED UNTIL THE DEVIL OF AVARICE IS LEFT KEELED OVER ON HIS KNEES!!!!

Stephens: Masakazu grabs a good hold of GREED’s neck… AND FLIPS FORWARD WITH THE FRONT-FLIP NECKBREAKER!!!! THE CONTORTION THAT JUST PUT ON GREED’S BACK WAS SICKENING TO LOOK AT AND IT MUST FEEL EVEN WORSE!!!! Masakazu maintains his hold on GREED and rolls him back up to his feet, now preparing for the Reverse STO… MASAKAZU SWINGS GREED BACK -- GREED PUSHES HIMSELF OUT OF MASAKAZU’S GRASP AND KICKS HIM AWAY WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE!!!! MASAKAZU STAGGERS BACK A FEW STEPS AND GREED RUNS FORWARD AND SPINS TO NAIL THE BACK ELBOW RIGHT ON MASKAZU’S NOSE!!!!

Wilson: A CONCERNED WATARI IS TRYING TO YELL DIRECTIONS AT MASAKAZU BUT GREED IS FIRMLY IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT AFTER STUNNING MASAKAZU WITH THAT SHOT!!!! GREED whips Masakazu into the corner and charges across the ring… AND ANOTHER HUGE BACK ELBOW IS DRIVEN INTO MASAKAZU’S FACE IN THE CORNER!!!! GREED pushes Masakazu out of the corner, sending him stumbling towards the center of the ring, while GREED himself climbs up to the top rope… What is he going for here?... WAIT!!!! MASAKAZU TURNS RIGHT AROUND AND GRABS GREED’S ARM, YANKING HIM OFF OF THE TOP ROPE WITH FORCE!!!! GREED IS BROUGHT DOWN FACE FIRST TO THE MAT!!!!

Stephens: MASAKAZU PULLS GREED UP TO HIS FEET NOW AND THROWS HIM BACK ONTO THE MAT WITH THE EXPLODER SUPLEX!!!! GREED DOES HIS BEST TO GET RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET BUT MASAKAZU DOESN’T GIVE HIM A SECOND MORE, LEAPING AT GREED BEFORE SPIKING HIM HEAD FIRST WITH THE JUMPING IMPLANT DDT!!!!! MASAKAZU ROLLS GREED RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET IN THE DOUBLE HAMMERLOCK NOW… HE’S GOING FOR BLOOD MONEY!!!!!

Wilson: HOLD ON!!! GREED IS FIGHTING OUT OF MASAKAZU’S FINISHING MOVE… AND GREED LANDS ON HIS FEET --- MASAKAZU RUNS FORWARD WITH THE ENZUIGURI!!!! TOKYO DRIFT -- NO!!!!! GREED DUCKS LOW AND CATCHES MASAKAZU ON HIS SHOULDERS!!!!! GREED SPINS MASAKAZU AROUND AND NAILS THE USHIGOROSHI!!!!

Stephens: GREED NOW LAYS INTO DANIEL WILSON WITH THOSE VICIOUS STOMPS TO THE UPPER BODY!!!! WATARI ON THE OUTSIDE HAS SEEN ENOUGH!!! HE’S JUMPED UP TO THE APRON AND GREED ISN’T HAVING ANY OF IT!!!!

Stephens: GREED uses the rope to get up to his feet --- MASAKAZU SPRINGBOARDS FROM THE TOP ROPE!!!!! TORNADO DDT --- OH MY GOD!!!! GREED KEEPS MASAKAZU ON HIS SHOULDERS AND USES THE MOMENTUM TO SPIN HIM FORWARD INTO THE TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!!!!! GREED DIVES MASAKAZU’S NECK INTO THE MAT!!!! GREED IS GOING FOR THE --- WRIST?!!! GREED HAS MASAKAZU’S WRIST LOCKED… AND HE YANKS MASAKAZU UP TO HIS FEET BEFORE TEARING INTO HIM WITH THE SHORT-ARM LARIAT!!!!! THE SEVENTH SIN!!!!! GREED HITS THE SEVENTH SIN TURNING MASAKAZU INSIDE OUT BEFORE COVERING HIM FOR THE PIN!!!!!

Referee: ONE!!!!!.... TWO!!!!!!..... THREE!!!!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Hysteria” by Muse hits to cheers from the crowd who get up to their feet to applaud both competitors. Watari pulls Masakazu out of the ring to check on him while GREED celebrates his victory in the ring.)

Ring Announcer: HERE IS YOUR WINNER BY WAY OF PINFALL…. GREED!!!!!!!!

Daniel Wilson: What an exceptional debut match from both of these competitors! Win or lose for either of them, they both looked like stars! GREED just inched out the win at the end but Masakazu could have won it at any given point!

Mark Stephens: GREED has made quite the impact tonight and with his M.O. it’s only a matter of time before he comes knocking at a champions door - after a win in a match like this, he might just have the right to!

(The camera transitions backstage where John Doe is joined backstage by CM Nas...)

CM Nas: Doe, are you absolutely sure about this? I don't mind handling this task with ease, but I thought you'd want to personally handle it yourself.

(John Doe chuckles, forming a slight smile on his face, before he returns to a stoic state)

John Doe: I don't have the time to waste my energy on pursuing Masanori Kawada anymore. He's proved himself to be mentally weak and physically exhausted. This is why I have entrusted my loyal Troupe members to finish the job. I trust you'll do exactly that.

(CM Nas nods)

CM Nas: Like I said, it'll be an effortless process. But can I ask---

(John Doe interrupts CM Nas)

John Doe: Ask me, why? Why? I'll give it to you plain and simple, Nas. I trusted The Phantom Troupe. But I might have put way too much trust, because there's a traitor among us.

(CM Nas tilts his head, scratching it)

CM Nas: A traitor? Who?

John Doe: Oh, that'll be dealt with by yours truly. I don't take kindly to traitors.

(John Doe once again lets out a quiet chuckle, before patting CM Nas)

John Doe: And I'd hate to be the person to betray me.

(John Doe looks CM Nas directly in the face, before patting him on the shoulder, and exiting the room)

CM Nas: I'd hate to be that person too...

(The camera continues to fixate itself on the dumbfounded CM Nas, who's still taking that information in, as the camera then pans elsewhere)

Ring Announcer: The following contest is set for one fall… AND IT IS A FIRST ROUND HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP MATCH!!!

(“Bullets” by Creed hits to loud cheers from the crowd as Endeavor makes his way down, slapping the hands of fans on the ramp before rolling into the ring.)

Ring Announcer: Introducing first, from Troy, New York, weighing in at 225 pounds… “THE BLACK RAIN”... ENDEAVOR!!!!!!

Daniel Wilson: The enigma known as Endeavor has been through hell and back both in his career and his personal life, yet here he stands in Strong Style Wrestling, a stronger man than ever, ready to compete in the Heaven’s Arena Cup in an effort to validate his career with a championship in this company!

(“Long Live the Chief” by Jidenna hits to boos from the crowd as Racer Smiles walks down to the ring looking focused as he stares down Endeavor.)

Ring Announcer: And his opponent, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, weighing in at 215 pounds… THE CHIEF!!!!!... RAAAAAAAAAACER SMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark Stephens: If Piero hadn’t vored Racer Smiles at Exodus, this man could very well be your Tag Team Champion right now!

Daniel Wilson: He didn’t actually eat him…

Mark Stephens: No.

Daniel Wilson: No?

Mark Stephens: He ate him.

(DING! DING! DING!)

Wilson: Racer lunges right at Endeavor, the two locking up! Racer hits a quick takedown, rolling Endeavor back up to his feet in a waistlock, but Endeavor breaks out of it! Endeavor throws a clothesline back at Racer but Racer ducks under it and grabs a hold of the arm - PULLING ENDEAVOR DOWN TO THE MAT WITH FORCE! Racer kicks Endeavor sharp in the side, before grabbing him by the tights… HOLY HELL THE POWER OF RACER SMILES!!!!

Stephens: HE’S GOT ENDEAVOR LIFTED UP WITH JUST ONE ARM… AND RACER PICKS ENDEAVOR UP TO HIS SHOULDERS --- TORNADO DDT FROM ENDEAVOR!!!! WHAT A COUNTER!!!! ENDEAVOR JUST MADE RACER’S ARROGANCE BACKFIRE!!!! Racer now slowly makes his way up to his feet but Endeavor sets him up for the Reverse STO… Racer grounds himself on his feet and grips Endeavor’s wrist BEFORE PULLING FORWARD WITH A BIG HEADBUTT TO ENDEAVOR!!!!

RACER PLANTS ENDEAVOR FLAT ON HIS BACK AND MAKES THE COVER!!!!!

Wilson: Endeavor gets the shoulder up! Racer doesn’t give him another second to breathe… DEADLIFTING HIM OFF OF THE MAT!!! WOW!!! RACER THROWS ENDEAVOR BACK WITH THE OVERHEAD BELLY-TO-BELLY -- OH!!!! ENDEAVOR STICKS THE LANDING AND FINDS HIMSELF ON HIS FEET!!! ENDEAVOR CATCHES RACER IN THE MOUTH WITH A DROPKICK!!!! ENDEAVOR IS TRYING TO PICK RACER UP OFF THE MAT BUT RACER SMILES PUSHES ENDEAVOR HALFWAY ACROSS THE RING WITH ONE HAND!!!

Stephens: Racer Smiles is clutching his mouth probably counting his teeth after that dropkick. But Endeavor is quickly back on his feet pulling Racer Smiles back by his face! RACER SMILES PULLING ENDEAVOR IN WITH A FRONT FACELOCK AND WAILING ON HIS BACK WITH ALTERNATING OVERHEAD PUNCHES! ELBOWS! FOREARMS! RACER SMILES IS SEEING RED!!! RACER CHANGES UP HIS GRIP!! POWERFUL GUTWRENCH SUPLEX SENDING ENDEAVOR BETWEEN THE ROPES TO SPILL OUT ONTO THE FLOOR!

Wilson: Racer immediately falls down to his knee and clutches his jaw that just had a meeting with Endeavor’s foot before that vicious assault! Blood is running out of the side of Racer’s mouth and he doesn’t seem happy about it!

Stephens: Oh man! Endeavor just pissed off a guy I would not want angry at me! But, oh wait a minute...

Wilson: Endeavor is back up onto the apron behind Racer Smiles! Racer turns and ENDEAVOR TAKES FLIGHT! LAY IN A CASKET!!! RACER SMILES HITS A DEVASTATING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT ON ENDEAVOR!!! BUT HE’S NOT GOING FOR THE COVER!!! RACER PICKING ENDEAVOR UP INTO A POWER BOMB POSITION AND RUNS ENDEAVOR INTO THE CORNER WITH A BUCKLE BOMB!!!

He lets out a yell HE’S CHARGING INTO THE CORNER AND MEETS ENDEAVOR’S BOOT IN HIS FACE!!! RACER STUMBLES BACK AND ENDEAVOR HOPS UP TO SECOND ROPE AND SHOOTS OUT TO HIT A TORNADO DDT!!!

Wilson: Endeavor needs to be fast right now before Racer can get in a response and he’s doing that popping back to his feet HITTING A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP INTO THE RIBS!!! RACER ROLLS AWAY QUICKLY TRYING TO BUY SOME TIME TO RECOVER!!!

Stephens: Endeavor doesn’t seem to want that happening grabbing Racer by the head and TRYING TO LOCK IN THE HANGMAN’S NOOSE! RACER SMILES IS FIGHTING IT PULLING THE ARM AWAY FROM HIS NECK!!! A BLIND ELBOW BACK INTO ENDEAVOR SETS RACER FREE!!! SMILES IS PICKING HIS OPPONENT UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS!!! HE’S GOING FOR THE ELECTRIC CHAIR FACEBUSTER!!!

Wilson: WAIT! NO! ENDEAVOR IS WAILING INTO THE FACE OF RACER FOR DEAR LIFE!!! HE SLIPS FORWARD AND ROLLS RACER SMILES ONTO HIS BACK!!!

Referee: ONE!!!!!!!... TWO!!!!!!...... THREE!!!!!!......

(DING! DING! DING!)

('Bullets' by Creed hits as the crowd erupts in applause and Endeavor rolls out of the ring to avoid the shocked Racer Smiles.)

Ring Announcer: YOUR WINNER BY WAY OF PINFALL!... ENDEAVOR!!!!

Wilson: Unbelievable! With the odds stacked against him Endeavor managed to pull out the victory against Racer Smiles!

Stephens: Unbelievable is right! I can’t believe this! Racer Smiles proved that he was the better man and yet he’s out of the Heaven’s Arena Tournament!

Wilson: Regardless of how it happened, Endeavor is our winner and he’s advancing in this tournament.

(Racer Smiles sits stunned in the ring while Endeavor gets his hand raised on the entrance way.)

(The camera rises up to the titantron to showcase the following match that will take place for the Heaven’s Arena Cup Tournament with the ring announcer in the background announcing the match.)

Ring Announcer: The following contest scheduled for one fall IS A FIRST ROUND HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP MATCH!!!

(“For The Glory” by All Good Things rocks on the sound system as Atem Octavian Amun-Ra walks out with his hands extended from his side, wearing a golden robe with an Egyptian influence on it, screaming out with delight as he walked down the ramp. The crowd claps with his appearance as he enters the ring, clapping with them, before striking into the air while screaming his signature “MUMMIFY!” line!)

Ring Announcer: Introducing first, he is from The Ancient Capital of Memphis, Egypt… he weighs in at 230 pounds… representing Ronin… “THE AWAKENED PHAROAH”... ATTEEEMMMMM OCCTTTAAAVVVIIIAAAANNNNN AMMUUUNNNNN-RRAAAAA!!!

Mark Stephens: Atem Octavian Amun-Ra has made his way to The Heaven’s Arena Cup tournament on his EXPEDITION OF GOLD as he hopes to PROCURE what he would like to call THE GOBLET FROM THE COLOSSEUM OF HEAVEN! This is going to be an extraordinary match to witness here tonight, Daniel!

Daniel Wilson: Extraordinary might be the word that you would like to describe it, but here’s mine… RIDICULOUS! After failing to “procure” the SSW Heritage Championship from Khmaoch Sângkât, what chance do you think he has of winning The Heaven’s Arena Cup? I believe that this man is a man that walks around being a complete fool and he has no chance of advancing through this tournament!

(“Legend Has It” by Run The Jewels echoes throughout the arena with Kirill Ivashchenko walking out from the backstage area with a mad cackle, looking with a smile towards the crowd, as he struts down the ramp towards the ring to meet his opponent.)

Ring Announcer: Introducing his opponent, he is from Volgograd, Russia… weighing in at 200 pounds… representing Tres Comas Club… KIIRRRIIILLLLLLLLL IVVAAASSSHHHCCCHHHEENNNKKKKOOOOO!!!

Daniel Wilson: Now, this is a man that I could see making it all the way to the finals of the tournament! Kirill Ivashchenko representing Tres Comas Club in this match has a great opportunity to make his mark for the faction and be the second person from the faction to make his way to the quarterfinals!

Mark Stephens: The question remains is if he can actually be the second man from the faction to advance further in this tournament at all because even though you might be looking at him to be the one to take this match with a breeze, Atem is not someone that you need to underestimate or he will take advantage of that!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Mark Stephens: The referee has signalled for the bell to start the match with Atem Octavian Amun-Ra striking that wonderful smile on his, chuckling in delight to where he looks around the entire arena, right before pointing straight towards Kirill Ivashchenko!

Atem Octavian Amun-Ra: KRILLIN IVASHCHENKO… YOU SHALL BECOME… MUMMIFIED! MUMMIFIED! MUMMIFIED! MUMMIFIED!

Daniel Wilson: This blabbering buffoon keeps striking his finger with that dumb catchphrase of his BUT KIRILL IVASHCHENKO GRABS HIM BY THE FINGER TO BEND IT TO WHERE HE MIGHT BE LOOKING TO BREAK THAT FINGER IN HALF! HOLD UP! ATEM OCTAVIAN AMUN-RA TAKES A BITE RIGHT OUT OF THE HAND OF KIRILL TO WHERE HE’S FORCED TO RELEASE HIS GRIP! Kirill shakes his hand before he turns back towards Atem MET WITH A KICK IN THE STOMACH BEFORE ATEM DROPS HIM WITH THE RAGE OF RA! TWIST OF FATE! ATEM DROPS KIRILL ONTO HIS HEAD WITH THE RAGE OF RA BEFORE HE ROLLS HIM OVER ON HIS SHOULDERS FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!

Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!!... THHHRRREEEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“For The Glory” by All Good Things plays in the background to with Atem Octavian Amun-Ra shoots to his feet, walking around to where he spreads his arms in celebration, stopping in the center to scream “WONDERFUL!” before rolling out of the ring.)

Ring Announcer: Here is your winner AND ADVANCING TO THE QUARTERFINALS OF THE HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP TOURNAMENT… ATTEEEMMMMM OCCTTTAAAVVVIIIAAAANNNNN AMMUUUNNNNN-RRAAAAA!!!

Mark Stephens: Atem Octavian Amun-Ra has done it! He will advance into the quarterfinals of The Heaven’s Arena Cup tournament at the expense of Kirill Ivashchenko, leaving only one participant left in Chase Vedder to represent Tres Comas Club in the tournament! I told you into to underestimate Atem, yet that’s exactly what happened with Kirill in this match!

Daniel Wilson: I guess that’s exactly what happened in this match as Kirill Ivashchenko has been taken out of the tournament by this idiot! I can’t believe that he’s actually going to head into the quarterfinals of this tournament, but this tournament isn’t over quite yet…

(Atem Octavian Amun-Ra walks towards the backstage to where he claps with the audience, smiling to the crowd in enjoyment of this match to where he leaves the arena. Kirill Ivashchenko rolls out of the ring to where he shakes his head in disappointment, walking his way to the backstage in defeat, as he hangs his head low.)

("Paint it, Black" by Ramin Djawadi plays as the crowd erupts into a standing ovation, Brian Daniels enters The Makuhari Messe in his formal attire - as he makes his way to the ring)

Stephens: And here's something I've been waiting for the entire night! Brian Daniels makes his return to Strong Style Wrestling! And he's here on business as well!

Wilson: I don't know what kind of business, Stephens, but he can go ahead all he wants. I know he's supposed to address the current situation with Tres Comas Club, André Virgo, and the SSW Jr. Heavyweight Championship. But what's wrong with any of that? To put it plain and simple; Daniels just wanted a reason to appear tonight.

Stephens: I seriously doubt that, Wilson, but believe what you will. I think Daniels is going to ease some wondering minds tonight.

(Brian Daniels grabs a microphone from ringside, then proceeds to enter the ring, the applause and music dies down...)

Brian Daniels: I'd like to start off by thanking each and everyone of you for bringing Strong Style Wrestling back into the fold.

(The crowd once again applauds)

Brian Daniels: Without each and everyone of you, this company would have been left in the dirt. But you showed your support, you showed your undying love and passion for wrestling, so here we stand, strong. We're not going anywhere again.

(The crowd applauds)

Brian Daniels: But with that drama put aside for the time being, I'm here to address some conflict going on within this company. Yes, I was backstage at Exodus when André Virgo was "crowned" the SSW Jr. Heavyweight Champion. It was handed over to him by a leading investor of Tres Comas Club, Mark Antony Montana. I never condoned nor accepted these terms of passing the title over without a straight up match. It has been confirmed that BANG is missing in action. Nobody has seen him or made contact with him that I know of. So, to get this out of the way, I'm going to ask André Virgo to please come out here.

(A bit of a pause is taken before "Make Me Feel" by Janelle Monáe hits and the crowd cheers and applauds for André Virgo as he enters the arena with the SSW Jr. Heavyweight Championship strapped around his waist)

Wilson: And here he comes! The reigning and defending SSW Jr. Heavyweight Champion! I can't see anyone more perfect that dawns that title! He's the perfect leader for Tres Comas Club and won't go missing like the previous!

Stephens: You're really selling the rest of the roster short, Daniel...

Wilson: Am I though?

Stephens: Yes.

(André Virgo is also handed a microphone by ringside management before entering the ring, as his music dies down, he shakes hands with Brian Daniels)

Brian Daniels: André Virgo, a man that's full of talent and so much potential. I really hate for us to meet on these terms.

André Virgo: ... These terms? With all due respect, Brian, I don't exactly understand what you mean here.

Brian Daniels: Uh, well, I think you do. I think we all do. I have much respect for you, Virgo. But I have to address the elephant in the room. You did not compete to win that title. The last time you competed for that title, you lost to the former leader of Tres Comas Club, BANG.

André Virgo: So? Are you telling me I'm not deserving of this title?

Brian Daniels: No---

André Virgo: Then what? Am I not good enough for this title?

Brian Daniels: Absolutely not, you're more than capable of holding it. But by tradition, Montana did not have the right to hand that title over. It should have been vacated.

André Virgo: Why waste your time with that though? You'd host some tournament or a match to determine the winner and the title would easily come back to me. I don't mean to appear as boastful or cocky, but did you not see how BANG initially beat me? Montana nonstop tried his best to screw me over... and he did. Until BANG suddenly left Tres Comas Club without a word and Montana's hand was forced to crown me as the leader. But not only the leader, the current reigning SSW Jr. Heavyweight Champion. In fact it was the universe, the neverending cosmos which recognized who both the title of champion and leader truly belonged to. Things happen because they are what is best for the balance of everyone. Sometimes it's to our benefit, sometimes to our misfortune. Either way who are we to question? You should know what this feels like, Daniels, you were once a wrestler like all of us in the back too...

(Brian Daniels pauses for a moment, taking in the comment, while the crowd rumbles with shock toward Virgo's comments...)

Brian Daniels: I'm not saying you don't deserve that title, Virgo. You most definitely do. But my hand is also being forced here. I don't want to do this---

André Virgo: Then don't.

Brian Daniels: I have no choice, but do know you'll be first in line...

(Brian Daniels extends his hand out for the SSW Jr. Heavyweight Championship - but the crowd suddenly breaks out in a "NO!" chant while both Andre and Daniels look around... when suddenly "Hysteria" by Muse interferes with the moment, both Daniels and Virgo turn toward the stage to see GREED entering in the attire he was wearing earlier in the night)

Stephens: Huh? What in the world is he doing here?

Wilson: Clearly coming to show support for his leader! Daniels needs to be put in check! If he won't listen to Virgo, he'll be forced to listen to other Tres Comas Club members!

(GREED grabs a microphone from ringside, as he too enters the ring, "Hysteria" dies down, while GREED smiles when looking to both Virgo and Daniels...)

GREED: I couldn't stand this moment anymore. I couldn't stand watching in the back as this moment unfolded right before my very eyes... It's absolutely sickening.

Wilson: That's right! Tell him, GREED!

(GREED turns toward Virgo)

GREED: That you're the man left to represent this faction as leader.

(The crowd gasps in shock, Daniels and Virgo both looking dumbfounded, as GREED laughs in Virgo's face)

Wilson: Yes--- Wait, what?!

André Virgo: Come again?

GREED: You heard me, Virgo. You're a disgusting waste of space on this roster, but clearly you have the mind for it. I don't personally care for our previous leader, because you exposed him for being weak. You not only exposed him, but you disposed of him as well.

Wilson: Again... WHAT?!

André Virgo: I really don't know where you're coming from, but---

GREED: Oh, don't play dumb oh magnificent leader of ours! You're the reason BANG is gone and missing. You battered his skull so hard that he's been permanently placed into a comatose state... You got rid of BANG to take everything he had. Everything you wanted. I could almost say I envy that spirit, but here I am to take what you have.

(GREED then turns away from a skeptical André Virgo, to face Brian Daniels)

GREED: So, I never ask anyone for anything in my life. I just take, take, take. But I'm going to make one exception for that motive. Don't strip André Virgo of the SSW Jr. Heavyweight Championship. He can have it, for now... because I want it. I want to be the one to take the title from him AT SUPREMACY!

(The crowd cheers, while Brian Daniels is left to his thoughts, the crowd breaks into a "Yes!" chant --- but GREED is then spun around by André Virgo)

André Virgo: You don't need to ask him for permission. You want an opportunity at this title? Fine. I accept! And BANG? I don’t know any better than any of these people what happened to him, but I can promise that your accusations against me are false!

(GREED laughs in his face)

GREED: But that's not all I want, Virgo... you have something else I desire.

André Virgo: Oh, what's that? Some respect for your leader?!

GREED: No, no, no... I want the leadership of Tres Comas Club.

(The crowd once again stirs...)

GREED: I can only get so far being a "member" of this faction. But instead, I intend to lead it and bring it to heights you'll never reach. So, are you brave enough to put up EVERYTHING you have to a man with nothing to lose?

(André Virgo unstraps the SSW Jr. Heavyweight Championship from his waist and raises in the air)

André Virgo: Of course, I accept. I have nothing to fear as the proven alpha of our faction - I'll set example for Tres Comas Club when I'm still your leader... AND YOUR SSW JR. HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!

(The crowd cheers, as Brian Daniels steps forward)

Brian Daniels: I can't say I expect any of this... but I'll be the first to make it official. André Virgo will defend not only his SSW Jr. Heavyweight Championship BUT his status as leader of Tres Comas Club against GREED at Supremacy.

(The crowd once more erupts into loud cheers, while GREED and André Virgo drop their microphones, to stare at one another, GREED ends up brushing past Andre, and exiting the ring, as "Make Me Feel" by Janelle Monáe - Andre turns around to watch GREED leave the arena, and GREED doesn't even look back)

Wilson: I'm... speechless! I don't even know what to say! Civil war inside a faction already? This is absurd!

Stephens: I can't say I'm not surprised either! Virgo is putting everything on the line to prove a point! I surely hope he didn't just make the worst mistake in the beginning of what could of been a bright career!

(The camera continues to focus on Virgo and Daniels in the ring, before fading to official SSW Tour advertisements)

(The show returns from commercial break as the camera rises up to the titantron to showcase the following match that will take place for the Heaven’s Arena Cup Tournament with the ring announcer in the background announcing the match.)

Ring Announcer: The following contest scheduled for one fall IS A FIRST ROUND HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP MATCH!!!

(“Party Girl” by McFly erupts from the sound system to where we see Belle Kingsley walked out to the stage to where he raises his hand high in the air, taunting to the crowd as she looks around at the sea of fans with a smile on her face. She slides into the ring and takes in the warm reception from the fans before she gets to her corner.)

Ring Announcer: Introducing first, she is from Newark, New Jersey… she weighs in at 120 pounds… representing Shoot Nation… “THE BELLE OF THE BALL”... BEELLLLLLLEEEEE KIINNNGGGSSSLLLEEEEYYYYY!!!

Mark Stephens: Belle Kingsley enters this tournament to represent Shoot Nation in what has been a volatile situation between them and Phantom Troupe! Tonight, she does fight a Phantom Troupe member, but this is all about The Heaven’s Arena Cup that could change the entire landscape of a person’s career! However, can Belle become the actual Belle of the Ball and be able to choose her champion to face for the title?

Daniel Wilson: I have no clue, but The Phantom Troupe has had Shoot Nation’s number since the inception of Strong Style Wrestling! I doubt that plans to change in this war with this match intended to be proof of that. Belle Kingsley, however, has the hope that she will be able to fight to the end with the glittering dreams of gold in her eyes!

(“Say Amen (Saturday Night) by Panic! At The Disco plays on the sound system to mark the arrival of Kerry Keller walks up to the stage with a cold gaze upon his face, looking up to stare straight towards his opponent, making his way towards the ring with that stern look still on his face. He doesn’t remove his gaze to where the crowd doesn’t stand behind him as he walks into the ring to go to his corner and crouch.)

Ring Announcer: Introducing his opponent, he is from Lansing, Michigan… weighing in at 235 pounds… representing The Phantom Troupe… “THE SILENCER” KEERRRRRRRYYYYY KEELLLLLLEEEERRRRRR!!!

Daniel Wilson: This war between The Phantom Troupe and Shoot Nation has been made to continue within this tournament and this match, it’s just the first match of the night with these conditions! Kerry Keller hopes that he will be able to reach the top prize for the first time in his career and not only that, but he’s been one of the more passionate members of The Phantom Troupe as he wears those colors on his sleeve!

Mark Stephens: Kerry Keller hasn’t been given the best hand in the wrestling world, but with ihs placement within the ranks of The Phantom Troupe, he hopes that he will be able to work with those within the faction to be able to find that place that he wants to be in his career. A victory tonight in The Heaven’s Arena Cup tournament will definitely push him towards that next level of his career!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Mark Stephens: The referee calls for the bell to where this match has begun WITH KERRY KELLER NOT WASTING TIME TO WHERE HE CHARGES IN WITH A KNEE STRIKE RIGHT INTO THE CHEST OF BELLE KINGSLEY THAT SENDS HIM BACK TOWARDS THE TURNBUCKLE CORNER! Belle hits the turnbuckle corner hard TO WHERE KERRY STARTS TO STRIKE WITH KICKS RIGHT INTO THE CHEST OF BELLE TO KEEP HER INTO THE CORNER! The referee starts to come into try and make the break to where he backs off to make his way towards the center of the ring! Kerry steps back to where he walks forward to come back ONLY FOR BELLE TO STRIKE WITH A DROPKICK TO THE KNEE TO SEND KERRY DOWN TO HIS KNEE! Belle stands up to his feet to where he rushes into the ropes RETURNING TO CATCH KERRY BY HIS HEAD WITH A SCISSORS KICK TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD!

Daniel Wilson: KERRY KELLER STEPS BACK TO AVOID THE SCISSORS KICK TO WHERE BELLE KINGSLEY LANDS HER FOOT DOWN ON THE CANVAS ONLY TO BE CAUGHT IN THE WAIST BY KERRY! GERMAN SUPLEX! Kerry drops Belle back with the German Suplex before he spins around and picks her up HOOKING HIS ARMS IN FOR THE DRAGON SUPLEX RIGHT INTO THE CANVAS TO DRIVE BELLE ON HER NECK! Kerry spins Belle around and hooks her by her leg LIFTING HIM UP FOR A REGAL-PLEX TO DROP HER BACK DOWN ON THE CANVAS TO WHERE HE DOES A HAT TRICK OF SUPLEXES TO KEEP HER DOWN! Kerry stands on his feet with a smile on his face as he’s very confident in the way that he’s been able to put the pressure on his opponent to where he kicks Belle in the ribs before deciding to grab her by the neck! He pulls her up to her feet HOOKING HER BY THE NECK TO LOOK FOR THE .45 BRAINBUSTER!

Mark Stephens: WHOA! BELLE KINGSLEY FLOATS OVER TO WHERE SHE LANDS ON HIS SHOULDERS AND FLIPS BACK WITH KERRY KELLER FOR THE REVERSE HURRICANRANA! BELLE SPIKES KERRY ONTO HIS HEAD TO WHERE HE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AS SHE SHOOTS BACK UP TO HER FEET! She points over towards the ropes to where she rushes over towards the ropes REBOUNDING OFF THE ROPES TO WHERE SHE FLIES THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPES FOR THE SUICIDE SOMERSAULT PLANCHA ONTO KERRY! SHE LANDS ALL OF THE PLANCHA TO WHERE HE DROPS ONTO THE OUTSIDE FLOOR WHILE SHE NODS HER HEAD TO THE CROWD! She’s feeling the support of the crowd as she stands him up to his feet to throw her back into the ring! Belle enters back into the ring to where Kerry has been brought back to his feet WHILE BELLE FLIPS FORWARD FOR THE FEVER DREAM!

Daniel Wilson: SUPERKICK! BELLE KINGSLEY FLIPS RIGHT INTO A SUPERKICK FROM KERRY KELLER THAT DROPS HER DOWN TO HER KNEES FROM THE SUDDEN IMPACT! Kerry Keller snatches her back up to her feet TO HOOK HER BACK BY HER NECK TO GO RIGHT BACK IN FOR THE .45 BRAINBUSTER! HE LIFTS HER U-- WAIT! BELLE FLIPS IN THE AIR TO DROP HIM DOWN ON WITH THE STUNNER! Kerry Keller is stunned in the middle of the ring to where Belle can stand up to her feet POINTING AS SHE SPRINT IN TOWARDS THE ROPES FOR THE FATEFUL FALL! KERRY FLIPS HER BACK TO WHERE HE AVOIDS GETTING CAUGHT WITH THE HANDSPRING CUTTER WITH BELLE BOUNCING BACK IN THE ROPES! Belle bounces back to where Kerry spins LOOKING FOR THE SILENCER RIGHT HERE! NO! BELLE DUCKS UNDER THE ROLLING ELBOW AND HANDSPRINGS OFF THE ROPES TO WHERE KERRY GETS CAUGHT IN THE FATEFUL FALL!

Mark Stephens: THE HANDSPRING CUTTER LANDS WITH KERRY KELLER’S FACE DROPPED RIGHT INTO THE CANVAS BY BELLE KINGSLEY WITH THAT MOVE RIGHT THERE! Belle rolls back up to her feet to where she looks over towards the turnbuckle, dragging Kerry close towards it to where she starts to make her climb, standing on the top of the turnbuckle! BELLE IS ON THE TOP ROPE TO WHERE SHE COULD BE LOOKING FOR KINGSLEY’S CROWNING! NO! KERRY POPS UP TO HIS FEET TO WHERE HE LANDS A CLUBBING BLOW ON THE BACK OF BELLE BEFORE HE BENDS HER DOWN TO THE TURNBUCKLE! Kerry steps back towards the corner LANDING WITH A CHEEKY NANDOS KICK RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF BELLE! THE SUPERKICK RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF THE HUNCHED OVER BELLE OF THE BALL IN THE TURNBUCKLE! Belle drops down to the floor to where she turns around RIGHT INTO A JUMPING CUTTER FROM KERRY TO THE CANVAS BEFORE HE FLOATS OVER TO LIFT HER ON HER FEET! SHE LIFTS HIM UP IN THE AIR AS HE LOOKS FOR THE .45 BRAINBUSTER FOR THE THIRD TIME IN THE IS MATCH!

Daniel Wilson: BRRAAAINNNNNNBBBUUUUSSSTTTTTEEERRRRR!!! KERRY KELLER FINALLY DROPS BELLE KINGSLEY ON HER HEAD WITH THE .45 BRAINBUSTER TO WHERE SHE ROLLS ONTO HER BACK! Kerry stands up to his feet to where he goes back into the turnbuckle REMOVING THE ELBOW PAD TO WHERE HE STARTS GETTING READY FOR HER TO GET BACK UP TO HER FEET! HE WANTS TO SILENCE HER ONCE AND FOR ALL IN THIS MATCH! Belle rolls onto her hands and knees to where she starts to pick herself up to her feet STANDING UP TO WHERE SHE TURNS AROUND INTO THE SILENCER FROM KERRY! THE ROLLING ELBOW STRIKE RI-- HOLD UP! BELLE RUSHES AND SPINS AROUND WITH THE TILT-A-WHIRL BEFORE LANDING DOWN ONTO THE RING FOR THE GOGOPLATA! THE FORCE CHOKE! BELLE KINGSLEY HAS THE FORCE CHOKE APPLIED RIGHT HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! KERRY HAS BEEN CAUGHT AND REACHES OUT ACROSS THE RING TO WHERE HE’S TRYING TO FIND HIS WAY TO A ROPE, BUT THERE’S NO SALVATION! KERRY CAN’T SEEM TO FIND AN ESCAPE OUT OF THIS SUBMISSION AND BELLE IS JUST SQUEEZING DOWN WITH ALL OF HER HEART WITH THIS SUBMISSION! HE HAS NO CHOICE! HE TAPS OUT! HE TAPS OUT! KERRY JUST TAPPED OUT!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Party Girl” by McFly plays in the background with Belle Kingsley releasing the submission as she picks herself up to her feet, having her hand held high in the air to where she celebrates this victory, as Kerry Keller rolls outside of the ring holding his throat.)

Ring Announcer: Here is your winner AND ADVANCING TO THE QUARTERFINALS OF THE HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP TOURNAMENT… BEELLLLLLLEEEEE KIINNNGGGSSSLLLEEEEYYYYY!!!

Mark Stephens: Belle Kingsley has done it! She will represent Shoot Nation in the quarterfinals match of the tournament to where she has submitted a member of The Phantom Troupe right in the middle of the ring! An impressive showing tonight that will definitely improve morale for the other Shoot Nation members going into their Heaven’s Cup Arena matches!

Daniel Wilson: Belle Kingsley has an impressive showing on her way towards the Heaven’s Cup Arena quarterfinals, but Kerry Keller has just been knocked out of the tournament to where he won’t be advancing further in the tournament! However, the man showed a valiant effort of his own to where he was inches away from victory numerous times, but the spirit of Belle was too much for him to handle!

(Kerry Keller holds his throat as he stands up with anger and disappointment, giving Belle a bitter gaze before turning around to walk out of the arena, scowling at the audience for celebrating with her when he makes it to the stage to exit. Belle Kingsley continues to celebrate in the ring before rolling out, taking a moment to slap hands and celebrate with the fans, before walking her way to the stage to give one final pose before making her exit.)

(The show returns from commercial break as the camera rises up to the titantron to showcase the following match that will take place for the Heaven’s Arena Cup Tournament with the ring announcer in the background announcing the match.)

Ring Announcer: The following contest is set for one fall… AND IT IS A FIRST ROUND HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP MATCH!!!

(“https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ” hits to a huge pop from the crowd as Piero stumbles out from backstage, with both of the SSW Freebird Tag Team Championship belts over his shoulders. Piero walks down to the ring sweating buckets, trembling as he stands in his corner and looks down the ramp to his opponent.)

Ring Announcer: Introducing first, from Tokyo, Japan, weighing in at 220 pounds…. “TORRIKUSUUUUUUUUUTAAAAAAA”...

PPPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daniel Wilson: Surprisingly a champion as part of the faction in possession of the SSW Freebird Tag Team Championships, Piero is one of the sixteen men set to compete in the Heaven’s Arena Cup Tournament! Now Mark, Piero vs Gronk has been one of the most anticipated match-ups in recent wrestling history, but you have to ask - realistically, what chance does Piero have of winning here?

Mark Stephens: If you would have asked me the same question at SSW Exodus before Piero and Tarah Nova won the tag team titles, I would have said no chance in hell. So when you look at those two belts over Piero’s shoulders, you realize that he’s already done the impossible… so while it does seem like Gronk will mercilessly rip Piero’s arms from his torso, with this guy, you never know.

(“Come Together” by Godsmack hits as red, white, and blue pyro erupts from around the stage. Gronk steps out onto the stage and roars at the crowd before marching down to the ring, his eyes glued on Piero.)

Ring Announcer: And his opponent, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 370 pounds… “THE MAD TITAN”... GRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daniel Wilson: Very rarely do you see a man for whom the nickname “The Mad Titan” is an understatement, but Gronk is exactly that man! This is his first time stepping foot on SSW television, and Mark, looking at him here in person, I’m going to have to disagree with you - Piero has absolutely NO CHANCE!

Mark Stephens: Yeah you’re probably right.

(DING! DING! DING!)

Daniel Wilson: The referee has called for the bell and -- PIERO IS BOOKING IT!!!! PIERO HAS ROLLED OUT OF THE RING AND IS RUNNING TO THE BACK!!!! GRONK DOESN’T LOOK TOO HAPPY ABOUT THAT, BUT IT MIGHT JUST BE A FREE WIN FOR HIM TONIGHT IF PIERO IS WALKING OUT ON THE MATCH… BUT GRONK WON’T SETTLE FOR THAT!!! HE WANTS BLOOD!!! HE WANTS CARNAGE!!!! AND HE’S ROLLING OUT OF THE RING HIMSELF, CHASING AFTER PIERO TO GET JUST THAT!!!!

Mark Stephens: GRONK HAS RAN BACKSTAGE IN PURSUIT OF PIERO… WE’RE TRYING TO GET CAMERAS FOR THEM BUT AS IT STANDS THIS MATCH COULD VERY WELL END IN A DOUBLE DISQUALIFICATION WITHOUT A WINNER!!!! WHY DID PIERO HAVE TO RUN AWAY?!

Daniel Wilson: Oh yeah Mark, because if you were in the ring with Gronk you’d stand and fight right?

Mark Stephens: Good point.

Daniel Wilson: We’re getting in touch with the camera crew backstage and from what the feed is showing right now, Gronk has no idea where Piero is! Gronk is currently in the loading area, fervently searching for Piero…

(A loud pop from the crowd is heard over Wilson’s commentary.)

Mark Stephens: What’s happening here in the arena…? OH MY GOD!!!! IT’S PIERO!!!! PIERO IS RUNNING THROUGH THE CROWD BACK TO THE RING!!!! PIERO ROLLS IN!!!! GRONK HAS NO IDEA!!!! GRONK IS STILL IN THE LOADING AREA!!!! PIERO IS YELLING AT THE REFEREE TO START THE COUNT OUT AND HE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO START!!!!

Referee: ONE!!!!....

TWO!!!!!....

THREE!!!!!....

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Come Together” by Godsmack hits to nuclear heat from the crowd, while Gronk stands triumphantly over Piero.)

Ring Announcer: HERE IS YOUR WINNER BY WAY OF PINFALL… AND NOW ADVANCING TO THE QUARTERFINALS OF THE HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP!!!!.... GRRROOOONNNKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!

Mark Stephens: POOR PIERO!!!!

Daniel Wilson: POOR PIERO INDEED!!!! AND THAT WAS ONLY A FRACTION OF WHAT GRONK IS CAPABLE OF!!!! GOD HELP EVERYONE IN THIS TOURNAMENT BECAUSE I DON’T THINK THERE’S A SINGLE PERSON THAT CAN TAKE DOWN GRONK!

(The camera pans back to Gronk standing over a crumpled Piero in the ring while taking in the hatred of the slant-eyed crowd.)

(The camera cuts back to Khmaoch Sângkât in a dimly lit room --- where he's on his knees, surrounded by a circle of lit candles. The camera pans around from the back of his head to the SSW Heritage Championship laid out in front of him.)

Khmaoch Sângkât: [Cambodian to English] Father, I have been blessed to have the skill and talent to retain my title as SSW Heritage Champion. I accept that I'm not a perfect man, but I'm a man nonetheless. I have not been conquered or defeated in my stay here. But your tortured spirit consumes my every thought... I had hoped a grand victory would have pleased you. But you continue to feast upon my soul like a vulture feasting upon a corpse---

(Khmaoch Sângkât abruptly stops speaking --- as he shoots up to both his feet, getting in the face of The Apparition, who's been spectating Khmaoch Sângkât the entire time)

The Apparition: Please, do not be offended by my presence.

(The Apparition takes a step back away from the clearly angered Khmaoch Sângkât)

The Apparition: I respect what you're doing here. You're trying to ease the burden of your late father. I can understand how frustrated you are.

Khmaoch Sângkât: [Cambodian to English] What do you want?!

(Khmaoch Sângkât speaks very loudly, his head twitching when staring into The Apparition's eyes)

The Apparition: I want the same thing anyone else wants, Khmaoch. I want to succeed and hone my craft in the Land of the Rising Sun. This company has offered me a chance to bring respect back to the art of wrestling. I intend to do that. However, I also noticed you're aligned with a group that spits on that same art, The Phantom Troupe. It is a shame you've landed on the wrong side of things here, but I'm not here for you - I'm here for that.

(The Apparition glances down at the SSW Heritage Championship --- Khmaoch Sângkât quickly swipes it up off the ground, but doesn't say a word as he storms out of the room, The Apparition watches him go)

The Apparition: Run where you can, Sângkât, but I'll bring honor back to that title.

(The Apparition also exits the room, as the camera zooms in on the remaining lit candles, the camera fades elsewhere)

(The camera pans back to the arena as “Death March” by Motionless In White plays throughout, Saul Omen comes out wearing black and purple Phantom Troupe themed attire, as he makes his way down to the ring)

Ring Announcer: This following match is a first round Heaven's Arena Cup tournament match! AND IT'S SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!... Introducing first, from Stockholm, Sweden, weighing in at 192 POUNDS!!!... "THE REAPER" SAAAAAAAAULLLLLLLLLLLLLL OMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!

Wilson: Another Shoot Nation vs. The Phantom Troupe match is about to take place! And it might be some bitter vengeance for a lucky Shoot Nation member in Jaydayne Pendragon! With The Phantom Troupe banned from ringside, I think Pendragon might have a fair shot, but who knows... The Phantom Troupe leader works in mysterious ways.

(Saul Omen enters the ring, removing his leather jacket, as "Just Another Hero" by Yuki Hayashi plays to a round of applause from the crowd, Jaydayne Pendragon enters in his red and white attire)

Ring Announcer: And his opponent, from Westminster, England, weighing in at 220 POUNDS!!!... "RED STRIFE" JAYYYYYDAAAAAAAYNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE PEEEENNNNNNDDDDDRRRAAAAGGGOOOONNNNNN!!!!

Stephens: Pendragon has a real chance of avenging his loss in last week's triple threat! If he can somehow make it past the evil schemes of The Phantom Troupe, he could make it all the way to the finals and win the whole thing! He could get his rightful rematch at the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion!

(Pendragon enters the ring, removing his entrance mask, as he makes his way to his corner, the referee pats both competitors down, before calling for the bell)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stephens: The bell has rung and this match is started! Pendragon and Omen are about to get things underway in this first round match of the Heaven's Arena Cup! Saul Omen and Jaydayne Pendragon both shoot out of their corners! BOTH EXCHANGING EARLY FOREARM SHOTS TO THE HEAD! But this is where Pendragon is going to get a slight advantage! His strikes are lethal! Pendragon begins to overwhelm Saul Omen with those heavy forearms to the head! He backs Saul against the ropes, but proceeds to STRIKE HIM WITH A STIFF SHOOT KICK TO THE HIP! AND ANOTHER SHOOT KICK TO THE LOWER LEG!

Wilson: PENDRAGON UNLEASHING SEVERAL SHOOT KICKS ALL OVER SAUL'S BODY NOW! SAUL IS TAKING A BEATING! Pendragon only lets up to make some distance between the two... AND CHARGES FULL FORCE AT SAUL OMEN! BUT SAUL BACK BODY DROPS PENDRAGON OVER THE TOP ROPE! Pendragon luckily sticks the landing on the apron, but Saul spins around with a vicious elbow strike to Pendragon's face! Pendragon teeters a bit on the apron! Saul goes for a quick forearm shot to the head, but Pendragon is able to block it! And Pendragon strikes with his own forearm! Saul staggers back a bit...

Stephens: Pendragon leaps back into the ring over the top rope! Saul moving forward to close the distance between the two... AND MY LORD!!! JAYDAYNE PENGDRAGON WITH A LOUD BACKHAND SLAP ACROSS THE CHEEK OF SAUL OMEN! THAT WAS THUNDEROUS! Saul Omen grabs his cheek, but smiles... Jaydayne confusingly look at Saul, who almost appeared to appreciate the strike! This man is a sick sadistic creep! Jaydayne wastes no time to charge forward! BUT THIS TIME SAUL CATCHES HIM WITH A THRUST KICK TO THE STOMACH! Jaydayne jumps back a bit! But Saul strikes once more with a shoot kick to the chest!

Wilson: Saul steps forward and grabs Pendragon by the wrist! He whips him to the opposite ropes! Jaydayne comes rebounding back! AND SAUL CATCHES HIM WITH A BEAUTIFULLY EXECUTED SLING BLADE! But Saul isn't through with him yet! Saul shoots back up to his feet and grabs Jaydayne from behind! HE HAS HIM IN A GERMAN SUPLEX POSITION... NO!!! Jaydayne is striking backwards with several elbows! But they don't seem to be affecting Saul Omen very much so! He transitions the German Suplex position into A MEAN DRAGON SUPLEX!!! THAT IMPACTS THE CANVAS BENDING THE BODY OF PENDRAGON!

Stephens: Saul gets back to his feet, staring down at the now damaged Pendragon... He's got to be thinking of finishing him off soon! I'd want to keep myself fresh for the next round of the tournament! Saul lifts Pendragon up to his feet by his hair! AND TOSSES HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND ONTO THE ARENA FLOOR!!! Pendragon takes a nasty fall outside of the ring! This match is now leaving the ring! Saul Omen with a smile on his face though, looks to Pendragon, who's slowly recovering and making it back to his feet...

Wilson: This isn't going to be pretty! SAUL OMEN BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES AND RUNS TOWARD PENDRAGON! MY GOODNESS A SUICIDE SOMERSAULT SENTON!!!!... NO! NO! NO! PENDRAGON CATCHES HIM IN THE AIR AND DROPS HIM ON THE ARENA FLOOR WITH A FEROCIOUS POWERBOMB!!! MY GOODNESS I CAN'T BELIEVE PENDRAGON JUST PULLED THAT OFF!!! Pendragon falls back into a seated position, staring at Saul Omen squirming in pain! That was just outright vicious! The referee rushing to check on Saul, but Pendragon wants to secure this victory! Pendragon pushes himself up and makes his way to Saul Omen!

Stephens: Pendragon pulls Saul Omen up by his head, striking him violently in the face with a few knees on the way up! That might have busted Saul's nose right open! BUT PENDRAGON RAMS SAUL SPINE FIRST INTO THE APRON!!! He's working on that injured back of Saul's now! AND AGAIN! RAMS IT A SECOND TIME INTO THE APRON!!! Saul Omen drops to his knees, grasping at his back, while Pendragon looks very disappointed at Saul... He's showing no remorse for what occurred last week! I don't blame him either! And Pendragon is sizing him up... ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO SAUL---LOW BLOW!!! LOW BLOW!!! The referee immediately sees it and calls for the bell!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(Pendragon falls to his knees, while Saul coughs and laughs, tiredly rising up to his own feet)

Stephens: Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting! The Phantom Troupe once again showing they know how to play dirty!

(Saul begins to rub the bottom of his boot off Jaydayne's face)

Saul Omen: (Looking down at Pendragon) Worthless.

Wilson: OH MY... MEMENTO MORI!!! SPINNING REVERSE ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE TEMPLE OF JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON!!! The Young Lions are trying to separate Saul Omen from Pendragon, but to no avail! Pendragon falls unconscious on his stomach! And NOW SAUL HAS TAKEN A CHAIR FROM RINGSIDE! HE'S ABOUT TO FURTHER THE STATEMENT!

Stephens: SOMEONE NEEDS TO HELP PENDRAGON---NO!!! A LOUD CHAIR SHOT TO THE BACK OF THE COLLAPSED PENDRAGON'S SKULL! AND MORE CHAIR SHOTS FOLLOWED TO HIS SPINE! ONE AFTER THE OTHER! SEVERAL CHAIR SHOTS BEING DRIVEN INTO THE BACK! YOUNG LIONS TRY TO STEP IN, BUT THEY BACK OFF AS SAUL THREATENS THEM WITH THE CHAIR!!!

(Saul Omen drops the chair and spits on Jaydayne Pendragon)

Saul Omen: Pathetic...

(Referees, doctors, and Young Lions immediately rush in to Pendragon's aid, as Saul Omen takes his leave)

Wilson: Well, Pendragon advances in the tournament, but is he going to be healthy enough to even compete in round two?

Stephens: Daniels really needs to do something about The Phantom Troupe! They're running wild doing whatever they please! They think they have a hold over this company!

(The camera goes from focusing on Saul Omen walking away, back to the doctors, referees, and Young Lions assisting Pendragon out of the ring and backstage.)

(The show returns from commercial break as the camera rises up to the titantron to showcase the following match that will take place for the Heaven’s Arena Cup Tournament with the ring announcer in the background announcing the match.)

Ring Announcer: The following contest scheduled for one fall IS A FIRST ROUND HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP MATCH!!!

(“Run Boy Run” by Woodkid echoes throughout the arena to where Kilimanjaro steps out with a displeased reaction from the crowd, looking out to the crowd with a stone cold gaze, before preparing to walk towards the ring to start in his fight.)

Ring Announcer: Introducing first, he is from Port-au-Prince, Haiti… he weighs in at 275 pounds… representing The Phantom Troupe…

KIILLLIIIMMMAAANNNJJJAAARRRROOOOO!!!

Mark Stephens: Up there in the most intimidating men with Gronk of The Phantom Troupe, this man has to be a man that could bulldoze through the competition to make his way towards the finals of the The Heaven’s Arena Cup Tournament! I don’t see how this man couldn’t be looking towards an opportunity!

Daniel Wilson: Simple, he will be running through the entire tournament and make his way to the finals representing the top faction of Strong Style Wrestling… THE PHANTOM TROUPE! Kilimanjaro has the best chance to be able to walk out with the Heaven’s Arena Cup and challenge for any championship of his choosing.

(“Big Bad Wolf” by In This Moment blasts on the speakers to where Tarah Nova steps out to where she’s met with a general positive reaction with a clap from the crowd before she skips down the ramp towards the ring to meet her opponent. She holds the SSW Freebird Tag Team Championship that she most likely took back from Piero as she enters the ring.)

Ring Announcer: Introducing his opponent, she is from Detroit, Michigan… weighing in at 118 pounds… she is the leader of Ronin and one-half of the SSW Freebird Tag Team Champions… “THE SHOCKCOLLAR OF RONIN”... TAARRRAAAAHHHHH NOOVVVAAAAA!!!

Daniel Wilson: Tarah Nova enters this match with a huge disadvantage, but she has been able to use her disadvantages to assist her in many opportunities, one including the SSW Freebird Tag Team Championship match where she became the first-ever tag team champion alongside Piero! Now, she has to defy the odds once more and defeat Kilimanjaro to advance in The Heaven’s Arena Cup tournament!

Mark Stephens: She has been a trailblazer for women not just in Strong Style Wrestling, but in promotions all across the world where she has won many championships and defeated many top-tier stars from across the globe! Now, she hopes to repeat that success in this tournament to where she can hold even more gold on her shoulder!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Mark Stephens: The bell has been rung for this match to start where Kilimanjaro runs across the ring LOOKING TO DROP TARAH NOVA WITH THE MORT A TOUS! THE SPEAR RIP-- NO! TARAH LEAPFROGS OUT OF THE WAY AND KILIMANJARO EATS THE TURNBUCKLE POST WITH HIS SHOULDER! Tarah goes over and rolls Kilimanjaro on his shoulders LOOKING TO ROLL HIM UP FOR THE PIN!

Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!!... THHHRRREEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Big Bad Wolf” by In This Moment plays in the background to where Tarah Nova rolls out of the ring and celebrates the victory as the referee hands her the SSW Freebird Tag Team Championship belt.)

Ring Announcer: Here is your winner AND ADVANCING TO THE QUARTERFINALS OF THE HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP TOURNAMENT… TAARRRAAAAHHHHH NOOVVVAAAAA!!!

Mark Stephens: TARAH NOVA HAS JUST DEFEATED KILIMANJARO IN A MATTER OF SECONDS TO ADVANCE IN THE HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP TOURNAMENT! I can’t believe this! Tarah Nova has just left a shocking impression to the world with this victory tonight! Tarah Nova will represent her faction of Ronin in the tournament with this amazing victory!

Daniel Wilson: I’m stunned, Mark… I don’t even know what to say. Tarah Nova just rolled Kilimanjaro up for the victory… what a shock. I guess I could give her congratulations on this victory, but this is a shocking turn of events. Kilimanjaro, maybe you’ll have better luck another time!

(Tarah Nova walks over towards the stage with the SSW Freebird Tag Team Championship raised up high in the air, celebrating with the crowd, while Kilimanjaro rolled out of the ring in disappointment and left through the crowd.)

Ring Announcer: The following contest is set for one fall… AND IT IS A FIRST ROUND HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP MATCH!!!!

(“Forces" by Susumu Hirasawa hits to a standing ovation from the crowd as Masanori Kawada walks down to the stage, striking the “All-Might” pose before walking down to the ring while the crowd goes wild.)

Ring Announcer: Introducing first, from Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan, weighing in at 247 pounds… “ALL-MIGHT”!!!!!... MASANORI KAWADA!!!!!!

Wilson: Nothing but focus on the look of Masanori Kawada’s face as he awaits the chance to battle Phantom Troupe member CM Nas in the first round of the Heaven’s Arena Cup!

(“I’m the One” by Static X hits to boos around the arena as CM Nas walks down to the ring with Rick Walton holding the EAW Answers World Championship up behind him.)

Ring Announcer: And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Rick Walton, from Newark, New Jersey, weighing in at 222 pounds… HE IS THE CURRENT, REIGNING, DEFENDING EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… C!!! M!!! NAS!!!!!

Rick Walton [off-mic]: REVERE HIM!!!! PRAISE HIM!!!!

Stephens: That’s quite the hype man he has over there! And for good reason too, CM Nas is no one to take lightly, and I hope Kawada understands that as the two are set to face off!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Wilson: NAS AND KAWADA WITH NO LOVE LOST BETWEEN THE TWO CHARGE AT EACH OTHER, COLLIDING IN THE CENTER OF THE RING IN A FRENZY OF BLOWS!!!! MASANORI KAWADA HAS BEEN DYING TO GET HIS HANDS ON THE PHANTOM TROUPE AND HERE IS HIS CONDUIT IN THE FORM OF CM NAS!!! KAWADA COMPLETELY OVERPOWERS NAS AS HE LIFTS HIM UP AND DRIVES HIS SPINE INTO THE MAT WITH THE RYDEEN BOMB!!!! KAWADA CRAWLS FORWARD AND MOUNTS NAS, THROWING STIFF FOREARM AFTER STIFF FOREARM AT HIS HEAD!!!! NAS’ HEAD IS BOUNCING OFF OF THE MAT WITH EVERY FOREARM DRIVEN INTO HIS FACE AND KAWADA SHOWS NO SIGN OF STOPPING!!!!!

Stephens: RELAX WILSON! THE REFEREE IS DOING HIS JOB AND PULLING KAWADA OFF OF NAS LIKE HE SHOULD HAVE DONE SECONDS AGO!!! KAWADA GOES RIGHT BACK AT CM NAS WITH STIFF STOMPS TO THE CHEST AND AGAIN THE REFEREE IS TELLING HIM TO BACK OFF!!! KAWADA NEEDS TO CONTROL HIS EMOTIONS OR THEY MIGHT JUST GET THE BEST OF HIM!!! Nas is finally getting a chance to recuperate in the corner now while Kawada waits for him, standing firm in the center of the ring. Nas has a sinister smile on his face and I don’t like it one bit… But Nas and Kawada begin circling each other now getting ready to lock up - Nas is showing that champion spirit!

Wilson: Kawada is looking for an opening… Nas is also looking for a spot to strike… NAS MAKES THE FIRST MOVE SHOOTING WILD WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK AND KAWADA JUST BARELY DUCKS IT!!!! KAWADA KICKS OUT THE LEG NAS WAS GROUNDED ON AND NAS GOES RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE MAT! KAWADA AGAIN GOING DOWN FOR THE GROUND AND POUND BUT THIS TIME NAS GETS THE ADVANTAGE WITH TWO QUICK STRIKES TO THE TEMPLE OF KAWADA TO SOFTEN HIM UP BEFORE TRAPPING HIS ARM WITH THE KIMURA LOCK!!!! NAS SHOWING EXPERT RING AWARENESS HERE, NOT LETTING KAWADA DOMINATE HIM ON THE GROUND AGAIN!!!

Stephens: KAWADA IS TRYING TO BREAK OUT OF THE KIMURA, AT RISK OF NAS SNAPPING HIS ARM AND PUTTING HIM ON THE SHELF, BUT NAS IS NOW USING HIS FREE ARM TO DRIVE ELBOW AFTER ELBOW INTO THE TOP OF KAWADA’S HEAD… BUT KAWADA IS FIGHTING THROUGH THE PAIN!!!! KAWADA STARTS TO PUSH HIMSELF UP TO A POINT WHERE HE CAN STAND UP TO HIS FEET, NAS STILL LATCHED ONTO HIM WITH THAT KIMURA LOCKED IN… AND “ALL-MIGHT” MASANORI KAWADA IS SHOWING HIS HEROIC RESILIENCY AS HE CHARGES INTO THE CORNER DRIVING NAS’ SPINE INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!!!!

Wilson: NAS IS STILL FIGHTING TO KEEP THAT KIMURA LOCKED IN DESPITE KAWADA REPEATEDLY DRIVING NAS’ SPINE INTO THE TURNBUCKLES, TENDERIZING HIS BACK UNTIL HE’S FORCED TO BREAK THE HOLD!!!! THE DAMAGE, HOWEVER, HAS BEEN DONE! KAWADA FALLS DOWN TO THE MAT CLUTCHING HIS ARM WHILE NAS RESTS AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES FOR A SHORT MOMENT, GOING RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION! NAS CHARGES FORWARD WITH A SHARP KICK TO KAWADA’S ARM, BEFORE STOMPING RIGHT DOWN ON HIS ELBOW!!!! KAWADA LETS OUT AN AGONIZING SCREAM BUT NAS GRABS THE ARM AND TWISTS IT WITH A VICIOUS ARM SNAP!!!!

Stephens: NAS NOW ROLLS KAWADA UP TO HIS FEET IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY HOLD… IS HE LOOKING TO END IT HERE?! I BELIEVE SO!!! ETHER!!!! NO!!!! KAWADA BLOCKS IT!!!! BUT IT WAS WITH HIS BAD ARM!!!!! KAWADA DROPS TO THE MAT BUT POWERS HIMSELF RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND TAKES NAS UP TO HIS SHOULDERS WITH JUST ONE ARM!!!! KAWADA POPS NAS INTO THE AIR WITH JUST THE ONE ARM AND BRINGS HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH THE N20 CUTTER!!!!! KAWADA DROPS THE ELBOW ON NAS AND PINS HIM FOR THE COVER!!!!

Referee: ONE!!!!!!!.... TWO!!!!!!!!!....

Wilson: NAS KICKS OUT!!!! NAS QUICKLY SCRAMBLES AWAY FROM KAWADA AND BEGINS TO LAY INTO HIS HEAD WITH BOOT AFTER BOOT!!!! NAS REFUSES TO RELENT ON THOSE KICKS… BUT LOOK AT KAWADA!!! KAWADA IS POWERING TO HIS FEET ANYWAYS!!!! YOU JUST CAN’T HELP BUT ADMIRE THAT FIGHTING SPIRIT HERE!!!! KAWADA THROWS A FOREARM AT NAS AND KNOCKS HIM OFF-BALANCE BUT NAS QUICKLY FINDS HIS FOOTING AND COMES BACK WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!!!! WAIT!!!! WITH HIS ONE GOOD ARM, KAWADA CATCHES THE LEG!!!! NAS JUMPS WITH HIS OTHER LEG AND KICKS KAWADA’S LIGHTS OUT!!!!

Stephens: KAWADA GOES DOWN TO HIS KNEES -- NAS IS REACHING DOWN IN HIS TIGHTS --- NAS JUST PULLED OUT BRASS KNUCKLES!!!! KAWADA RUSHES UP TO HIS FEET AND CHARGES AT NAS COMPLETELY UNAWARE -- AND NAS DRILLS HIS FIST INTO THE SIDE OF KAWADA’S HEAD!!!! OVER AND OVER AND OVER!!! HE KEEPS BASHING HIS BRASS KNUCKLES INTO THE HEAD OF KAWADA!!! THE REFEREE HAS HAD ENOUGH! HE’S CALLING FOR THE BELL!!! WHAT THE HELL DID NAS JUST DISQUALIFY HIMSELF HERE FOR?!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Wilson: WHAT IS THE PHANTOM TROUPE DOING TONIGHT?! THAT’S TWO MATCHES THEY’VE INTENTIONALLY THROWN TONIGHT! NAS CONTINUES TO LAY INTO KAWADA WITH THE BRASS KNUCKLES!!!! KAWADA IS CUT OPEN BAD AND NAS SHOWS NO SIGNS OF STOPPING AS HE LIFTS KAWADA UP TO HIS SHOULDERS… ETHER!!!!!! THE ETHER FROM NAS BUSTS KAWADA OPEN FROM THE FOREHEAD WITH BLOOD POURING OUT AS NAS DROPS KAWADA’S LIFELESS CARCASS AT HIS FEET!!!!

Stephens: IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE NAS IS DONE EITHER! THIS IS JUST DESPICABLE!!!! NAS AGAIN PICKS KAWADA UP… ETHER!!!!! ETHER AGAIN!!!!! HAS THIS MAN NOT DONE ENOUGH YET?!!!

Wilson: NAS IS FINALLY EXITING THE RING AFTER LEAVING KAWADA A BLOODY AND BATTERED MESS!!!! LOOK AT THE SMUG LOOK ON THE BASTARD’S FACE! HOW CAN YOU DO THAT TO ANOTHER MAN?! PHANTOM TROUPE AGAIN DISPLAYING NOTHING BUT CLEAR DISRESPECT FOR THE TOURNAMENT, HOW HORRIBLE!

(The referees, doctors, and Young Lions once again rush to Kawada’s aid, as they make a human barrier to keep the sadistic CM Nas staring at his bloody brass knuckles - away from the battered Masanori Kawada as the camera cuts to a Supremacy advertisement…)

(The show returns from the Supremacy commercial with a view towards the main stage to where “Freedom” by Beyonce and Kendrick Lamar hits on the screen to where we see the reigning and defending SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion Aria Jaxon sitting upon the shoulders of the powerhouse of Phantom Troupe, Gronk, raising the championship high to show upon her subjects.)

Ring Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome THE REIGNING AND DEFENDING SSW PURORESU HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION AND THE QUEEN OF SSW... ARRIIIAAAAA JAAXXXOOOONNNNN!!!

Daniel Wilson: THERE SHE IS! ALL HAIL THE QUEEN! We are blessed with her presence here tonight and now, we need to make sure that she gets the proper worship from her subjects! SO RISE, PEASANTS! RISE AND GIVE WORSHIP TO THE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD AND YOUR QUEEN!

Mark Stephens: Yeah, yeah, yeah, let her get her glorious moment! She’s our inaugural SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion, but the manner in which she won that championship just proves that she doesn’t deserve it. She should have been defeated by one of the Shoot Nation members because if it wasn’t for most of The Phantom Troupe rushing to the ring to assist her in capturing the championship, she would have been defeated!

Daniel Wilson: OH SHUT IT, MARK! THE QUEEN IS ABOUT TO GIVE A CHAMPIONSHIP ADDRESS TO ALL THE SUBJECTS IN ATTENDANCE! She’s about to grace the entire world with her voice and that’s all I want to hear, not your whiny voice trying to ruin this for me!

(Aria Jaxon is lifted down onto the ring steps to where Gronk climbs the ring, opening the ropes to where Aria Jaxon can walk through to where Gronk walks over them, snatching the microphone from the ring announcer to hand it to Aria. Aria pats Gronk on the head and turns towards her subjects.)

Aria Jaxon: Thank you, thank you, for the proper respect has finally been given to The Queen of Strong Style Wrestling and YOUR FIRST-EVER SSW PURORESU HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! I did what no other person thought I could do as a woman in this industry and I broke the barrier. I broke the barrier in Japan that I assisted in breaking in America! I broke the ceiling that was placed upon me that was manufactured by these old Japanese perverts that run this business! I exceeded the limitations AND WAS A WOMAN THAT WAS CROWNED YOUR FIRST-EVER CHAMPION! EVERY SINGLE WOMAN, MAN, CHILD, EVERYONE SHOULD BOW DOWN BEFORE YOUR QUEEN RIGHT NOW! Now, everyone wants to throw this accusation of The Phantom Troupe being involved being the only reason that I won, but honey… let’s be real. Aria Jaxon was born and bred to be champion and as much as The Phantom Troupe assisted me in confirming it… I WAS GOING TO WIN THIS TITLE NO MATTER WHAT! Jaydayne Pendragon stood no chance and when CM Nas was taken out by him, I did what anyone else would have done and took what belongs to me. Now, this is my moment and this company belongs to a queen! I’m going to make sure that everyone remembers this reign and that no matter what, I’ll be reigning as your champion for the rest of time! ARIA JAXON WILL ETERNALLY BE YOUR SSW PURORESU HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! All of you may hope and cling onto the chance that maybe someone from Shoot Nation will walk out and challenge me for this championship, to defend the honor of Strong Style Wrestling, but I AM STRONG STYLE WRESTLING! The only person that gets to defend me is this big brute that I’ve hired as my bodyguard… you know him already as Gronk! He’s my big bad titan that will leave whoever I want into a broken shell and what does Phantom Troupe want? THE DESTRUCTION OF SHOOT NATION AND THE SYMBOL OF HEROES! I hold this championship as a reminder that the world doesn’t placate to good people, the fairytales and dreams that you have are fantasies that will never be realized, and that all your hopes will be left destroyed by yours truly! So go ahead and cue the violins, go watch whatever disgusting cartoon filth that will keep you happy, because ROYALTY HAS COME TO STRONG STYLE WRE--

(“Me Acostumbre” by Arcangel ft. Bad Bunny interrupts the words of Aria Jaxon with her and Gronk looking with an irritated look on their faces to where Matias Navarro walks out from the backstage with a smile on his face. He claps towards her to where he walks towards the ring, walking up the steel steps and enters through the ropes to where he joins the two, before grabbing a microphone himself.)

Matias Navarro: I know it’s shocking that I’m out here since Tres Comas Club has become more concerned with the SSW Junior Heavyweight Championship and finding out who deserves to reign as leader of the club. However, I’m not going to involve myself in the petty squabble between Andre Virgo and GREED about all of that, Chase Vedder and Racer Smiles for who was the reason they lost the chance to be crowned inaugural SSW Freebird Tag Team Champions, because I found something more important that deserves my attention. A greater prize…

(Matias Navarro points towards the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship on her shoulder to where Aria Jaxon clutches it tightly to where Gronk steps in front of her to where he gives a mean and nasty snarl.)

Matias Navarro: You want to be The Queen of SSW, right? You want to be known as a true champion of this roster? You’ll defend that championship against me at Supremacy and put your money where your mouth is! Here’s the deal, you can sit here and preach to these imbeciles about how much of a queen you are. You can tell them all about how you’re the champion, you’re SSW, you’re the entire wrestling planet… but they will be just hollow words if you don’t stand up to a challenge and defend that championship against me. I don’t care about petty rivalries or minor league championship gold that only holds relevance to being a leader in this group of mine, but I care about the top prize in this sport. I care about being the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion and I will accept NOTHING LESS than a championship match against you at Supremacy! So, do you accept my challenge right here and right now or will be busy with one of your Phantom Troupe boyfriends for the night?

Aria Jaxon: Matias, honey… you really think that you can handle The Queen? That’s adorable. Good for you. However, you don’t deserve an opportunity at this SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship that YOUR QUEEN holds. Don’t worry, I’ll sign an autograph for you to keep your thirst intact like every fat nerd around the world that hounds me in my Twitter DMs for the chance to be with all of this! You’re nothing to me, Matias. Nothing. You’re not a challenge to me, you’re just a peasant, and peasants… they don’t get to have gold. So this little challenge of yours… that’s a no, sweetie. You can keep sitting at the kiddie table and chase after that SSW Junior Heavyweight Championship for your sugar daddies of Tres Comas Club, but a match with a real one from a real faction? Not a chance.

(Aria Jaxon calls for Gronk to follow her out of the ring to where Matias Navarro taunts to the crowd about her ducking his challenge… ONLY FOR GRONK TO RUN FROM BEHIND TO DROP HIM WHERE HE STANDS!)

Daniel Wilson: YES! YES! THAT’S WHAT YOU GET FOR DISRESPECTING THE QUEEN, MATIAS! GRONK SMASH! GRONK IS STOMPING AND DECIMATING HIS OPPONENT TO WHERE HE’S PULVERIZING THE MAN THAT DARE CHALLENGE THE CROWN OF ARIA JAXON! Aria Jaxon struts over to where she looks down towards the beaten Matias Navarro before Aria looks over and nods.

Aria Jaxon: GRONK! SMASH!

Mark Stephens: Gronk nods towards Aria Jaxon to where she’s sicced her hound of destruction onto Matias Navarro to where he drags him between his legs! Gronk throws Matias onto his shoulders to where he lifts him up high DROPPING HIM WITH GRONK SMASH! GRONK THROWS MATIAS ACROSS THE RING WITH THE THROWING CRUCIFIX BOMB TO WHERE ARIA JUST LAUGHS AT THE PUNISHMENT BEING INFLICTED UPON MATIAS BY HIS HAND! Aria crouches down to where she pats his cheek to taunt him before he stands up to his feet to where she holds the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship high in the air! If this is what we have to look forward to in our champion… we’re all in trouble.
