SSW: Heaven's Arena Tour 4/29/2018

(DING! DING! DING!)

(The camera transitions into a sold out Fumin Kyosai Super Arena crowd, as the camera pans around the entire arena --- "Riot" composed by Yoshihisa Hirano plays as Aria Jaxon and John Doe both sporting black and purple Phantom Troupe styled gear, enters the arena, John Doe stands on the stage, pointing his gun taunt forward --- as Aria Jaxon raises her Puroresu Heavyweight Championship, the two make their way down to the ring)

Ring Announcer: This following tag match is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!... Introducing first, at a combined weight of 342 POOOOOOOOOUNDSSSS!!!!... "GOD OF WAR" JOHN DOE AND THE SSW PURORESU HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION "THE PHANTOM QUEEN" ARIA JAXON... THEEEEE PHANTOMMMMM TROUPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Stephens: WELCOME BACK TO STRONG STYLE WRESTLING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! AS THE HEAVEN’S ARENA TOUR CONTINUES!!! WE'RE LIVE HERE IN THE FUMIN KYOSAI SUPER ARENA AND WHAT A WAY TO OPEN THE SHOW!!! Tres Comas Club takes on the menacing Phantom Troupe in a two-on-two tag match! We have a lot of questions tonight, but all to be answered soon enough! Let's get this show on a roll!

(John Doe and Aria Jaxon both enter the ring, removing their entrance gear, as Aria Jaxon hands her Puroresu Heavyweight Championship over to the referee to hand to the timekeeper...)

Ring Announcer: And their opponents...

("Money, Power, Fame," by contRoVersy hits as Andre Virgo and Matias Navarro enter onto the stage, Matias Navarro mostly ignoring Andre Virgo's eccentric entrance, as he poses for the crowd, Matias walks past him to get to the ring quickly, while Andre Virgo takes his time...)

Ring Announcer: At a combined weight of 440 POOOOOUNNDSSSS!!!!... "THE MAESTRO" MATIAS NAVARRO AND THE SSW JR. HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION... "THE STOLEN BREATH" ANDRE VIRGO... TRESSSSSSSSS COMAAAASSSSSSSSSSS CLLLLLLLUBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB!!!!

Wilson: I'm actually very worried for THIS particular team... ever since this "civil war" of sorts has begun within the ranks of Tres Comas Club, barely anyone has gotten along! These two exchanged some harsh social media interactions with one another! So, that gives me enough reason to believe that they're not on the same page... that same exact page they need to be on to be able to defeat the likes of Aria Jaxon and John Doe!

(Matias Navarro enters the ring, still waiting for Andre Virgo, who enters, but continues to pander to the crowd, the music dies down, as they remove excessive entrance gear, Andre hands his SSW Jr. Heavyweight Championship to the referee, as he hands it to the timekeeper, the referee pats all four competitors down, as Doe and Matias exit onto the apron... the referee calls for the bell!)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stephens: This opening tag match between Tres Comas Club and The Phantom Troupe has begun! And it appears the two champions; Aria Jaxon and Andre Virgo are going to start this one out! Aria signals for Virgo to come closer, but Virgo cautiously assesses his current situation! Aria Jaxon looks to clear the distance between one another --- BUT VIRGO IMMEDIATELY RUSHES IN WITH A LOUD KNIFE EDGE CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST OF ARIA! AND A SECOND ONE! AND A THIRD! VIRGO UNLEASHES WITH THUNDEROUS KNIFE EDGE CHOPS ACROSS ARIA'S CHEST! Aria stumbles back, BUT IS ABLE TO RESPOND WITH A VERY STIFF FOREARM!

Wilson: That one staggers Virgo enough to give Aria some room here! Virgo doesn't take long to regather his thought process and immediately go after Aria again! But Virgo ONCE AGAIN TAKES A NASTY FOREARM SHOT TO THE HEAD! Virgo stumbles backwards, grabbing at his head... AND ARIA GOES RUSHING OFF THE ROPES! COMING FULL CHARGE TOWARD VIRGO! A RUNNING FOREARM SMASH---EASILY AVOIDED BY ANDRE VIRGO THERE!!! Virgo ducks and runs off the ropes himself! Aria finds herself once again rebounding off the ropes and they're both rushing toward each other like bulls butting heads! OH NO!!

Stephens: MY GOODNESS!!! A PAIR OF CLOTHESLINES TO TAKE ONE ANOTHER OUT!!! They were both thinking the same exact thing! Virgo stares at the ceiling only momentarily, but doesn't take long to crawl for a quick tag! Aria's not doing the same though? Oh! She gets back to her feet and drags Virgo away from his corner! She drags him up by his hair, BUT VIRGO RESPONDS WITH AN UNDERHANDED UPPERCUT RIGHT TO THE JAW OF ARIA! Aria stumbles backwards, grasping at her jaw, while Virgo very hesitant at first... but tags Matias into this match! AND MATIAS RUSHES TOWARD ARIA!!!

Wilson: DROPKICK!!!! A VIOLENT DROPKICK SENDING ARIA JAXON INTO HER OWN CORNER! AND OH! John Doe makes a sneaky tag that I don't think Matias saw! Matias distances himself from Aria, the referee trying to tell him, BUT HE DOESN'T CARE! HE RUSHES TOWARD THE CORNERED ARIA!!! BUT ARIA SIDE STEPS OUT OF THE WAY! AND MATIAS EATS A FACE FULL OF JOHN DOE'S BOOT! Matias steps backwards, holding his jaw, BUT ARIA NAILS HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK! Matias drops to a knee, while Virgo attempts to enter the ring! The referee ends up stopping him, while Aria taunts Virgo when exiting onto the apron herself!

Stephens: Matias still recovering from that heel kick, on a single knee---DOE IS CLIMBING UP THE ROPES THOUGH! Doe is thinking something huge here! Matias doesn't know what's coming! Matias stands back up to both feet! DOE IS PERCHED--BUT MATIAS TURNS HIS HEAD QUICKLY ENOUGH TO SEE AND RUSH UP THE ROPES WITH DOE! MATIAS WITH SEVERAL ELBOW SHOTS TO DOE'S HEAD! Doe might very well lose his balance! BUT DOE RESPONDS WITH SEVERAL FOREARMS OF HIS OWN! VERY HARD AND STIFF FOREARMS LANDING ON MATIAS' HEAD! ENOUGH TO SHOVE HIM OFF THE TOP ROPE!

Wilson: AND DOE DOESN'T TAKE A SECOND TO DIVE!!!!.... JUMPING DROPKICK IN MID-AIR TO JOHN DOE'S STOMACH!!! DEAR LORD THE IMPACT MATIAS' FEET MADE WITH DOE'S GUT!!!! Doe grasps at his stomach, while Matias wastes no time in stomping away at a downed Doe now! Matias pulls Doe up by his tights, positioning himself behind John Doe! AND MATIAS HOOKS HIM IN.... GERMAN SUPLEX?!?! NO!!! John Doe throws several elbows backwards at Matias' head! He's not letting Matias see this through! BUT MATIAS SHOWS SHEER FORCE AND PLANTS DOE INTO THE CANVAS WITH A BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX ANYWAY! THOSE ELBOWS WEREN'T GOING TO STOP HIM AT ALL!!! IS THIS ENOUGH???

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

Stephens: It's not going to be! Doe kicks out! Matias takes in a deep breath and exhales, before lifting John Doe back onto his feet... AND WHIPS HIM INTO HIS PARTNER'S CORNER!!! MATIAS CHARGES!!! RUNNING DROPKICK INTO THE CORNERED DOE! Matias kips back up to his feet and tags the anxious SSW Jr. Heavyweight Champion into this match! John Doe very intelligently walks out of the corner, BUT VIRGO RUSHES TO THE ROPES!!! SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY TAKES JOHN DOE OUT!!!

Wilson: Virgo rises back to his feet, looking all around to the audience! But he suddenly looks down at a smiling John Doe, who doesn't even seem to be bothered?! John Doe rises back to a vertical base, signaling Virgo to bring it! AND YOU BET VIRGO IS! VIRGO RUSHES TOWARD DOE---AND NOW THE TWO ARE LOCKED IN A BACK AND FORTH EXCHANGED OF FOREARMS! ONE AFTER THE OTHER! ONE VIOLENT FOREARM! AFTER THE NEXT! THE TWO WILL NOT CAVE! BUT DOE IS STARTING TO GET THE ADVANTAGE HERE!!!... Doe is OVERWHELMING Virgo with these stiff strikes to the head! He has Virgo backed against the ropes!

Stephens: And Doe whips him to the opposite ropes! Virgo comes rushing RIGHT INTO A KNEE OF DOE---NO!!! VIRGO DIVES AND FLIPS RIGHT OVER THE KNEE! AND BACK TO HIS FEET! VIRGO RUSHES OFF THE ROPES! DOE VERY SURPRISED---TURNS TO A RUNNING BIG BOOT!!! NO!!! Doe manages to duck underneath the boot! OUCH!!! DOE LANDS A NASTY SPIN KICK TO THE BACK OF VIRGO'S HEAD IN RELATION! Virgo drops to a knee in a very dazed state! He might be concussed after that blow, but oh! DOE ISN'T FINISHED! DOE WITH A RUNNING YAKUZA KICK TO THE KNEELING ANDRE VIRGO!!!!

Wilson: Doe shakes his head, he seems to be disappointed in Virgo! Doe grabs Virgo by the head, lifts him up, while looking at Matias's face of disgust while looking on... Doe drags Virgo to Aria and makes the tag! But what is Doe doing?! DOE IS LIFTING VIRGO ONTO HIS SHOULDERS IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR POSITION... OH NO!!! AND ARIA IS CLIMBING TO THE TOP ROPES! THIS ISN'T LOOKING GOOD! MATIAS ONLY WATCHES FROM THE CORNER!!! ARIA IS PERCHED... AND SHE DIVES!!! WRAPPING HER ARM AROUND VIRGO'S HEAD AND LOCKING VIRGO IN A GUILLOTINE CHOKE!!!

Stephens: THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY BRILLIANT!!!! JOHN DOE IS CARRYING THE WEIGHT OF BOTH VIRGO AND JAXON ON HIS SHOULDERS! AND JAXON HAS VIRGO LOCKED IN THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE ON TOP OF DOE'S SHOULDERS! THE STRENGTH OF DOE IS SURREAL AT TIMES! DOE IS MANAGING TO HIS BALANCE! VIRGO IS SHOUTING IN AGONY! HE CAN'T EVEN GRAB THE ROPES FROM ALL THE WAY UP THERE! THE REFEREE IS DEMANDING DOE TO GET OUT OF THE RING, BUT DOE INSTEAD FALLS BACKWARDS---AND ARIA TRANSITIONS THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE INTO A FALLING DDT!!! PLANTING VIRGO HEAD FIRST INTO THE HARD CANVAS!!! Aria Jaxon quickly shuffles for the cover, Doe exiting onto the apron, while Matias is STILL only watching this all unfold! This could be the end!

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

Wilson: OH MY GOD!!! VIRGO SOMEHOW MANAGES TO GET THE SHOULDER UP!!!! HOW?! That's absolutely insane! Aria seems a bit surprised herself, ensuring the referee made only a two count! I'd be very frustrated as well! Virgo is showing the real resilience of a champion! Aria Jaxon rolls back onto her feet, glancing only briefly over at Matias, before mocking Virgo! She wipes the end of her boot across his head several times! Virgo is taking a beating while desperately trying to crawl to his corner! But Aria only laughs at this attempt! Aria grabs Virgo by his hair and drags him back to his feet---BUT VIRGO SHOOTS BACKWARDS WITH A HARD ELBOW ACROSS THE JAW OF ARIA! WAS VIRGO PLAYING POSSUM? Virgo stumbles a bit, looking at Matias, but turns on a dime! A BITCH SLAP TO RETURN THE FAVOR OF THAT ELBOW! Virgo holds his jaw, when looking at Aria mouthing off to him! Aria isn't taking any of this! Virgo only smiles, with a bit of a chuckle...

Aria Jaxon: (shouting) OH, YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY BITCH?

Stephens: ARIA GOES FOR ANOTHER BITCH SLAP!!!!---BUT VIRGO GRABS HER ARM AND PREVENTS IN! He lifts up his free hand and waves his finger! NOT TODAY SAYS VIRGO! AND VIRGO FORCEFULLY PULLS HER INTO A SHARP PIERCING KNEE TO THE STOMACH! AND VIRGO PULLS HER IN! AND HOOKS THE ARM! HE'S GOING FOR THE VIRGO BOMB!!! TIGER BOMB!!! ANDRE LIFTS ARIA UP!!!! THERE IT---NO!!! NO!!! ARIA COUNTERS WITH ULTRAVIOLENT!!!!! HURRICANRANA DRIVER!!!! VIRGO TAKES A FACE FULL OF THAT CANVAS! THAT IMPACT MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT VIRGO'S SKULL COULD BE FRACTURED!!!

Wilson: And without a doubt, Aria is not through! Aria with the most sadistic grin I've ever seen form across her face! She backs herself into a corner! She's calling for Virgo to get back onto her feet! She wants to end this now! Matias still silently spectating, it's like he doesn't even care what happens to Virgo! Virgo is slowly getting back up to his feet! He's almost there! He's up, but staggering a bit---HE SPINS AROUND!!! PURPLE REIGN!!!!!!!!!! THE BICYCLE SUPERICK CONNECTS!!!... ON THE REFEREE?!?!?! VIRGO WAS ABLE TO AVOID IT AT THE VERY LAST SECOND!!! BUT UNFORTUNATELY ARIA JUST TOOK OUT THE REFEREE!!!

Stephens: Aria stands there, a bit stunned, BUT IS ROLLED UP BY ANDRE WHO'S UNAWARE OF WHAT JUST HAPPENED!!! THERE'S NO REFEREE TO COUNT THE PIN!!!

Crowd: ONE!!!... TWO!!!.... THREE!!!!

Wilson: ARIA INSTINCTIVELY KICKS OUT, BUT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IT! VIRGO WOULD HAVE WON TRES COMAS CLUB THE MATCH RIGHT THERE! John Doe only spectating right now, clearly aware of what's happened... Aria Jaxon pushes herself to her knees, looking down at the referee and to Virgo crawling towards Matias... but a sudden smile comes across her face! Matias with his eyes set on Aria, extends his hand FINALLY out to Virgo... Aria gets back to her feet, just preparing herself in the ring! ANDRE MAKES THE TAG! REFEREE IS STILL DOWN! BUT HERE WE GO!

Stephens: MATIAS LEAPS OVER THE ROPES AND INTO THE RING! ONLY TO MEET ARIA RIGHT THERE! THE TWO ARE NOW WAILING INTO ONE ANOTHER WITH KNIFE EDGE SHOPS, OVERHEAD PUNCHES, FOREARMS, ELBOWS, ANY SORT OF STRIKES THAT THE TWO CAN LAND ON ONE ANOTHER!!! YOU CAN SEE THE HATRED! MATIAS WANTS HER TITLE AND ARIA WANTS HIM TO JUST GO AWAY! THE NEVER ENDING SEQUENCE OF STRIKES CONTINUES---UNTIL ARIA KNEES MATIAS RIGHT BETWEEN THE LEGS! DESPICABLE!!! ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!

Wilson: All is fair when there's no official, Stephens! Aria laughs while Matias falls to his knees, she positions herself behind him---AND GRABS AT HIS HAIR!!! SHE PULLS BACKWARDS WITH A HAND FULL OF HIS HAIR!!!... AND THEN PROCEEDS TO CURBSTOMP THE BACK OF HIS HEAD RIGHT INTO THE MAT!!!! Matias might be out of it---NO??? Aria with a look of concern, stares down at Matias resiliently pushing himself up---BUT IN RUSHES DOE!!! THE KILLING JOKE!!! THE KILLING JOKE!!! RUNNING BICYCLE PUNT RIGHT AS MATIAS ROSE UP!!!!

Stephens: Virgo finally pulls himself up on the apron, now aware of the situation going on inside of the ring---BUT VIRGO IS PULLED OF THE APRON?!?! GREED!!! GREED!!! IT'S GREED! VIRGO'S SUPREMACY CHALLENGER!!! WHAT IS HE DOING?!?! Virgo pulls himself up using GREED's leg... seeing his face for himself! GREED looks down at him with a smile and then PULLS HIM UP! POSITIONING HIMSELF... THE PRICE OF GREED!!!! JUMPING SPINNING TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER ONTO THE ARENA FLOOR!!!! LAYING VIRGO OUT WHILE THE PHANTOM TROUPE WATCHES FROM THE RING!!! THEY COULDN'T CARE THE SLIGHTEST BIT ABOUT THIS! THIS IS VILE! I CAN'T BELIEVE GREED WOULD DO THIS!

Wilson: But The Phantom Troupe turn their attention once more to the recovering Matias! I don't think he even knows what's going on here! And Doe lifts him up, the referee finally stirring! DOE LIFTS MATIAS UP IN A FIREMAN'S CARRY POSITION!!! GOODNIGHT SWEET PRINCE!!!!!!!!! DROPPING MATIAS FACE FIRST INTO THE BICYCLE KNEE!!! AND ARIA JAXON NAILS MATIAS WITH A PURPLE REIGN BICYCLE SUPERKICK ON HIS WAY DOWN!!!! ARIA MAKES THE COVER AND THE REFEREE CRAWLS SLOWLY TO THE PIN!!!! THIS ONE IS OVER! THE PHANTOM TROUPE PICK UP THE VICTORY HERE!

Referee: ONEEEE!!!... TWOOOOO!!!.... THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

("Riot" composed by Yoshihisa Hirano picks up as John Doe and Aria Jaxon revel in their victory)

Ring Announcer: Here are your winners... Aria Jaxon and John Doe... THEEEEE PHANTOOOOMMMMM TROUPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Stephens: An absolutely awful way to kick off the show! This match was a spectacular back and forth match until GREED had to show up! The referee getting taken out didn't help any of this! The Phantom Troupe pick up a victory that Virgo had won for Tres Comas Club if the referee was still there! I can't believe GREED would cost the faction he wants to lead so much a loss like this!

Wilson: All is fair in love and war, Stephens! GREED wanted to send a clear message to Virgo! And I think it's loud and clear that anything goes when it comes to obtaining both Virgo's title and his leadership position! But how will Virgo respond to all of this? That I'm really curious about!

Stephens: I have to wonder what's going on in the investors' minds... they can't be enjoying watching Tres Comas Club implode like this.

(The camera pans to Andre Virgo getting aided by Young Lions with ice packs, the same with Matias Navarro, as Aria Jaxon is handed her title and exits the ring with Doe --- she looks back to Matias in the ring, raising it high for him to see, before some advertisement airs)

(An advertisement airs for the upcoming OWA/SSW Crossover Show, Budokai Tenkaichi. The camera pans back to the ring where Avery Knight awaits her opponent.)

Ring Announcer: The following contest is set for one fall!!! Currently in the ring, from Brighton, England, weighing in at 124 pounds… AVEEEEERYYYYYYY KNIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(“Say Amen” by Panic! At the Disco hits to boos from the crowd as Kerry Keller walks down to the ring with a menacing stare aimed right at Avery Knight.)

Ring Announcer: And her opponent, from Lansing, Michigan, weighing in at 235 pounds…. THE SILENCER!!!!!!..... KEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYY KEEEEEEELLLLLLLEEEEERRRRR!!!!!!!

Stephens: Kerry Keller had an impressive showing against Belle Kingsley last week but he was ultimately bested by the Shoot Nation member! Keller has a chip on his shoulder with many claiming he is the ‘weak link’ of the Phantom Troupe but you know with all he’s been through in his career he’s itching to prove everyone wrong!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Wilson: Avery Knight must be awestruck standing in this large of a —- OH MY GOD!!!! SILENCER FROM KERRY!!!! THE ROLLING ELBOW!!!!! GOOD NIGHT AVERY KNIGHT!!!! KERRY WITH THE COVER!!!!

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

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Say Amen” hits to boos from the crowd as Kerry stands over the laid out Avery Knight, posing with a smile plastered on his face.)

Ring Announcer: Here is your winner by way of pinfall… KERRY KELLER!!!!!!

Stephens: Kerry Keller may have fallen one step back against Belle Kingsley last week but with an impressive win like this tonight, he’s going --

???: ALRIGHT, SHOW’S OVER!!!

Wilson: What’s happening here? Our cameramen are trying to see what’s going on…. Oh boy.

(The camera pans over to the crowd where Stark and a group of twenty men behind him walk through the crowd. Stark has a megaphone in hand as he jumps over the barricade with his men surrounding the ring.)

Stephens: As far as we know, this isn’t part of our scheduled broadcast, never mind the fact that Stark was suspended from all SSW events on our last televised show but as we can all see…

(The crowd begins booing as Stark takes the ring, looking down at the ramp.)

Stark: Yeah so this is fun isn’t it? I hope you all enjoyed what you got to see from this show tonight because that’s all you’re going to see… Well maybe. Because Dormammu, I’m here to bargain! Jacob Senn you gravedigging bastard, I know you’re back there, but I’m not even going to ask you to come out just yet, I mean, not that you would against twenty of my FINEST New York goons out here!

(Stark pauses to laugh before continuing to speak.)

Stark: You know Senn, it wasn’t easy getting all these mothafuckas out here, never mind how much I had to spend on their tickets, but the visa issues with these guys’ criminal records were another entity on it’s own. But I hope you realize how much this match means to me for me to go through all this trouble, because you know as well as I do I’d much rather be sitting back at the Bonsai Garden doing what I do best.

(Stark walks to the edge of the ring facing down the ramp with a more serious face now as he begins to speak.)

Stark: Here’s what I’m going to do Senn. I’m going to give you a couple of options here. I mean first you could just man the fuck up, come out and accept this match, and we can both go on our merry ways. If you don’t, we’re fit to stand here in the ring all night because let’s be real, I know as well as Gronk does that your Japanese security in the back ain’t doing shit about it.You don’t want to wrestle Senn? You wanna be a company man? Well by all means, come do what’s best for this company and let’s let the show go on, right?

(Stark holds the mic down and looks down the ramp with anticipation for Jacob Senn, but no one comes out.)

Stark: So that’s how it’s going to be…? Well I guess it’s time for Plan C then right? Here’s how it’s going to be Senn. If you don’t want to come out, then I have absolutely no problem walking me and my goons down the ramp to the back and uh, how you say, “introduce” ourselves to the Strong Style Wrestling roster. If you wanna label me an outlaw, you can do just that, but I’m not taking that from Corporate Senn. I want the man that had the fire to main event Pain for Pride. I want the man that ran Dynasty as it’s top guy for years. I want the Jacob Senn that I can beat to cement MYSELF as one of the all-time greats. So… what’s it going to be?

(Stark again looks down the ramp expecting Jacob Senn to come out, but no one does. Stark shakes his head and looks back up.)

Stark: All right man. You asked for this. Fellas, let’s go introduce ourselves.

(Stark drops to roll out of the ring when “S.O.A.R” by Devour the Day hits to a roaring pop from the crowd. Jacob Senn walks out to the stage with security behind him, microphone in hand, while he stares down Stark with pure malice.)

Senn: … Get them out of here.

Stark: Unless you want to turn this arena into a war zone, I suggest you reconsider.

Senn: I have had enough of your bullshit, Stark. I understand that you probably don’t hold the highest opinion of yourself considering that your career is nothing more than a meaningless flash in the pan compared to everything I’ve accomplished as a competitor, but that’s absolutely no excuse for your behavior. I ought to fire you outright… But I can see now that’s not going to accomplish anything.

Stark: It sure as hell isn’t.

Senn: Then… I’m just going to have to do it myself. I came to be a part of Strong Style Wrestling to create something different, to create something that could stand as its own entity for people to prove themselves against the top talent of the world, but you've made me become a part of me that I've been trying to keep contained. A destroyer, a man that brings ruin to men's careers, and a Punisher that strikes fear into the hearts of all that dare to oppose them. You want me? You've got it... AT SUPREMACY!

(Stark starts to nod his head with a huge smile on his face.)

Stark: That wasn’t that hard was it ---

Senn: You shut up and let me finish. I'll put those boots on one more time and when I do... I'll make sure that I put that little Bonsai Garden of yours up in smoke and laugh when your dreams are reduced to nothing more than ash. Now get the hell out of my ring.

(Stark points to the goons and they begin to exit through the crowd. Stark stares Senn down from the ring before rolling out of the ring and joining the goons in exiting the arena while the feed pans to commercials.)

(The camera fades back to the arena, with a match graphic confirming Jacob Senn vs Stark for Supremacy. "From a Cage" by Envoi is playing in the background and the camera pans to Ash Bouyer preparing for his upcoming match inside of the ring...)

Ring Announcer: This following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!... Introducing first, already in the ring, from New York City, New York, weighing in at 198 POUNDS!!!!... "THE ABSOLUTE HERO" ASHHHHH BOUYERRRRRRRRRR!!!

Stephens: We're getting ready to see hopefully a friendly and competitive match between Shoot Nation members! It's times like this where factions can prove to be civil while also enjoying what they do! I expect nothing less but an awesome match between these two gentlemen!

("Despair" by Piko plays as Jun Nobunaga comes out wearing a white towel around his neck, as he walks straight to the ring...)

Ring Announcer: And his opponent, from Ichikawa, Chiba, Japan, weighing in at 209 POUNDS!!!!... JUNNNNNNNNNN NOBUNAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Wilson: Civil? I don't think ANYONE is civil when they want to win a match! And nobody wants to lose! So, nobody is civil! Jun Nobunaga looks focused already! He's fixated on getting himself the victory! And I wouldn't want to be in the way of that!

(Jun Nobunaga throws his towel to the crowd, as "Despair" dies down, the referee pats both competitors down, then proceeds to call for the bell!)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stephens: A friendly bout between fellow Shoot Nation members, Jun Nobunaga and Ash Bouyer begins! Jun extends his hand out for a handshake --- and Ash accepts! That's great sportsmanship---wait.... Jun isn't letting go... That sudden friendly face of Jun turns stoic---PULLING ASH BOUYER INTO A SNAP HEADBUTT!!! C0!!! DEAR GOD!!! WHAT!?!!? ASH FALLS SLOWLY TO HIS KNEES, BUT COLLAPSES AS BLOOD TRICKLES FROM JUN'S HEAD... JUN PUTS A BOOT OVER ASH'S CHEST TO COVER!!!

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

(DING! DING! DING!)

("Despair" by Piko plays through the arena, as the referee goes to raise Jun's hand in victory... he refuses, but goes to demand a microphone)

Wilson: Huh?! What's going on?!

("Despair" dies down, as Jun stands in the middle of the ring with a microphone, looking down at the referees and Young Lions aiding Ash Bouyer...)

Jun Nobunaga: [Japanese to English] Surprised? Don't be... Shoot Nation is weak, it will always be weak. I just proved that true. That's why I'm going back to the faction that needs me most... TRES COMAS CLUB!!!

(Jun throws down the microphone as the crowd gasps in shock, "Despair" by Piko picks back up, as Jun Nobunaga exits the ring)

Stephens: REALLY? SHOOT NATION CAN'T SEEM TO CATCH A BREAK...

Wilson: I can say that leaving Shoot Nation was smart, but is walking into a war better?

(The camera focuses on Young Lions assisting Ash Bouyer out of the ring and to the back, as the camera fades to advertisements...)

(Be there when Strong Style Wrestling and Omega Wrestling Alliance crossover for the first time in a two day event at Budokai Tenkaichi in the Osaka Dome - May 30th and May 31st! Tickets go on sale June 27th!)

Ring Announcer: The following contest is a six man tag team match set for one fall!!!

(“Megitsune” by Babymetal hits to cheers from the crowd as JUDAS II, Damien Walker, and Masakazu walk down to the ring with Watari by their side.)

Ring Announcer: Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Watari, representing Ronin... JUDAS II!!!!... DAMIEN WALKER!!!!... AND MASAKAZU!!!!!

Wilson: From what I’ve heard backstage, a question hanging over the heads of the Ronin locker room right now is who is going to represent the faction in defending the SSW Freebird Tag Team Championships! Masakazu and Damien Walker had rough debuts last week but being able to defend a championship at Supremacy may be the golden opportunity they need! As for JUDAS II, this is his chance to introduce himself to Strong Style Wrestling in a big way!

(“Money, Power, Fame” by contRoVersy hits to boos from the crowd as Miltiades, GREED, and Racer Smiles walk down to the ring.)

Ring Announcer: And their opponents, representing Tres Comas Club… MILTIADES!!!... GREED!!!!!... AND RACER SMILES!!!!!!

Stephens: All is clearly NOT fine in the Tres Comas Club, as we saw GREED attack their leader Andre Virgo earlier in the night, costing him his match against the Phantom Troupe! You can tell tensions are rising, but it does look like these three are focused on just one thing right now - beating Ronin!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Wilson: Racer Smiles looks eager to start this one off for the Tres Comas Club, while Masakazu is kicking things off for Ronin! Smiles and Masakazu lock up to start… Masakazu trying to wrench him into a headlock… BUT THE POWER OF RACER SMILES BEING PUT FULL ON DISPLAY!!!! HEADLOCK TAKEOVER FROM RACER SMILES BUT NOT BEFORE PICKING MASAKAZU A GOOD FIVE FEET UP IN THE AIR, SLAMMING HIM STRAIGHT DOWN ON HIS SPINE!!!! AND RACER HAS THE GROUNDED HEADLOCK TIGHT ON MASAKAZU NOW!!!!

Stephens: Masakazu is trying his best to wrestle his way out of the hold but the sheer strength of Racer Smiles just might be too much for him to outpower… WHICH IS WHY HE’S USING HIS BRAIN!!!! MASAKAZU IS YELLING AT WATARI TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SITUATION AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT’S HAPPENING AS WATARI SLIDES INTO THE RING AND GRABS MASAKAZU BY THE LEG BEFORE PULLING HIM TO THE ROPES!!!! MASAKAZU GRABS THE ROPES WITH HIS FREE ARM AND THE REFEREE FORCES RACER SMILES TO BREAK THE HOLD!!!!

Wilson: Racer doesn’t waste anymore time pulling Masakazu right off of the ropes and INTO A HUGE OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX SENDING MASAKAZU A GOOD EIGHT FEET INTO THE AIR BEFORE HE COMES CRASHING DOWN ON THE MAT!!!! BUT MASAKAZU KIPS RIGHT BACK UP!!!! RACER LUNGES FOR THE MAN BUT MASAKAZU LEAPFROGS RIGHT OVER HIM!!!! MASAKAZU LANDS ON WOBBLY LEGS BUT MANAGES TO USE THAT TO HIS ADVANTAGE AS HE SPINS OVER FOR THE KITCHEN SINK TO RACER SMILES SENDING HIM FLOPPING OVER TO THE MAT!!!

Stephens: Racer gets right back up -- INTO MASAKAZU’S GRIP!!!! MASAKAZU SLAPS A QUICK HAMMERLOCK ON RACER BUT THE CHIEF IS FIGHTING OUT OF IT BEFORE MASAKAZU HITS BLOOD MONEY!!!! RACER NAILS AN ELBOW SMASH FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER ONE IN QUICK SUCCESSION TO GET SOME DISTANCE… AND RACER GOES FOR THE ELECTRIC CHAIR -- MASAKAZU FLIPS OFF OF RACER’S SHOULDERS AND FALLS BACK INTO THE RONIN CORNER TAGGING OUT TO JUDAS II!!!!

Wilson: JUDAS II now enters the ring… an ominous aura surrounding him… AND HERE HE GOES STRAIGHT FOR RACER SMILES!!!! SMILES GETS UP AND SWINGS WITH THE ELBOW BUT JUDAS DUCKS IT!!!! RACER DOESN’T CARE, GRABBING JUDAS FROM BEHIND FOR A HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX DRIVING JUDAS’ NECK INTO THE MAT!!!! RACER ROLLS JUDAS OVER AND SWINGS HIM BACK WITH ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX BUT JUDAS STICKS THE LANDING ON HIS FEET THIS TIME!!!! JUDAS JUMPS RACER FROM BEHIND WITH THE SLINGBLADE BUT RACER ROLLS RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND SHOOOOOOOOOOVES JUDAS STRAIGHT INTO THE ROPES!!!! WHAT POWER!!!!

Stephens: RACER IS TOO BUSY ADMIRING HIS MUSCLES TO REALIZE JUDAS COMING RIGHT BACK AT HIM FULL SPEED AHEAD WITH THE REBOUND TORNADO KICK!!!!! TRAITOR’S KISS!!!!! RACER GOES DOWN TO HIS KNEES AND THAT’S ALL JUDAS NEEDED TO SPIKE RACER’S HEAD INTO THE MAT WITH THE SOUL SPIKE RANA!!!!! JUDAS RUNS TO THE ROPES NOW… WAIT!!! MILTIADES RUSHES TO WHERE JUDAS IS AND GRABS HIM, LOCKING HIS ARMS AGAINST THE ROPES!!!! RACER SMILES SLOWLY PUSHES HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET JUST AS JUDAS MANAGES TO BREAK AWAY!!!! RACER CHARGES AT JUDAS… JUDAS GOES LOW!!!! RACER TAGS OUT TO MILTIADES!!!!

Wilson: MILTIADES SPRINGBOARDS OVER CATCHING JUDAS WITH THE SPRINGBOARD DDT!!!! MILTIADES RUSHES TO THE ROPES WHILE JUDAS TRIES TO GET UP TO A VERTICAL BASE BUT MILTIADES DRIVES RIGHT THROUGH HIM WITH THE UPROOT!!!! THE EUROPEAN UPPERCUT SENDS JUDAS INTO THE ROPES AND AGAIN HE TRIES WITH THE TRAITOR’S KISS ON THE ROUND, ONLY FOR MILTIADES TO CATCH HIM FIRST WITH THE DISCUS LARIAT!!!! THE LAST SUNSET TURNS JUDAS INSIDE OUT AND MILTIADES DROPS FOR THE COVER!!!!

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

Stephens: KICKOUT FROM JUDAS THE SECOND!!!! Miltiades is now up on his feet, stalking Judas from the corner as he prepares to hit the curbstomp… JUDAS is barely stirring… AND HERE COMES MILTIADES WITH KING’S DEAD --- JUDAS WAS PLAYING POSSUM!!!! MILTIADES JUST GOT BAITED INTO A SMALL PACKAGE!!!!

MILTIADES LOOKS TO HIS CORNER AT GREED NOW WHO’S CALLING FOR THE TAG --- HOLD ON!!!! IT’S ANDRE VIRGO!!!! VIRGO JUST PULLED GREED OFF THE APRON!!!! DEJA VU FROM EARLIER IN THE NIGHT!!!! VIRGO AND GREED BEGIN BRAWLING OUTSIDE THE RING!!!! MILTIADES TRIES TO COVER WALKER BUT JUDAS AND MASAKAZU ENTER THE RING -- ONLY FOR RACER SMILES TO CHARGE IN AFTER THEM!!!! A HUGE DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE FROM RACER TAKES THEM BOTH DOWN!!!!!

Stephens: MILTIADES WASTES NO FURTHER TIME, PICKING WALKER UP FOR THE KING’S DEAD, AN EXTRA EXCLAMATION POINT ON A BATTLE THAT’S ALREADY BEEN WON!!!! MILTIADES DROPS FOR THE COVER!!!!!

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

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stephens: THE MATCH IS OVER BUT THE FIGHT BETWEEN GREED AND VIRGO SURELY IS NOT!!!! MILTIADES AND RACER SMILES ARE NOW TRYING TO QUELL TENSIONS BETWEEN THEIR FELLOW TCC MEMBERS… BUT VIRGO GRABS A CHAIR FROM RINGSIDE!!!! GREED HOPS OVER THE BARRICADE, OPTING TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY!!!! VIRGO MANAGES TO CHASE OFF GREED FOR NOW!

Ring Announcer: Here are your winners by way of pinfall… GREED!!!! RACER SMILES!!!!! MILTIADES!!!!.... TRES COMAS CLUB!!!!!

Wilson: That match was a wild ride from start to end, and I don’t know about you Stephens, but Tres Comas Club doesn’t look fine, even despite this win!

Stephens: That’ll all be settled come Supremacy, but let’s focus on our winners tonight! Great performances from Ronin’s side of things, but an even more impressive effort from the Tres Comas Club gave them the slight edge they needed to win!

(The feed pans to a commercial for Supremacy. The camera returns to the Ring Announcer in the ring.)

Ring Announcer: The Following contest is a 6-MAN TAG TEAM MATCH and is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!

(“Run That” by Snow Tha Product hits the speakers as Vanessa Santiago struts out onto the stage to a warm reception from the crowd.)

Announcer: Introducing first! Representing Shoot Nation! Hailing from Havana, Cuba and weighing in at 115 pounds! Una Problema Maldita… VANESSA SANTIAGO!!!

Daniel Wilson: Well, Santiago started her SSW career as one of the original members of the Phantom Troupe but tonight she battles against them with her new Shoot Nation allies. You’d expect that this one has got to be personal, hasn’t it?

Mark Stephens: You could probably say that. The Phantom Troupe are probably just about the last faction I could see taking kindly to somebody turning their back on them. As for Santiago, she has a lot to prove tonight. She needs to get the fans behind her change in image. She has to show The Phantom Troupe just what they lost. And she has to prove she can play nice with her new friends. Needless to say there is a lot of pressure on her but I am sure she will only thrive on it.

(Vanessa’s music fades and “Street Dreams” by Hollywood Undead replaces it as The Apparition makes his entrance. He marches with a cold determination, shadow boxing as he makes his way down to the ring with Santiago.)

Announcer: And her partner! From Newfoundland, Canada and weighing in at 205 pounds! He is The Forgotten One… THE APPARITION!!!

Wilson: And yet another competitor with something to prove and an axe to grind with The Phantom Troupe. The Apparition is gunning for Khmaoch Sȃngkȃt’s SSW Heritage Championship and will have a chance to feel out his man tonight.

Stephens: Should be a solid match up for the future, all things considered. The Apparition is one of the few men in SSW who can match the experience of Sȃngkȃt and he isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty and play him at his own game.

(“My Name” by Yasaharu Takanashi erupts from the speakers as King TORA IV enters to cheers from the crowd. He poses heroically to hype them up.)

Announcer: Introducing from Parts Unknown and weighing in at 201 pounds… KING TORA THE FOURTH!!!

Wilson: Not much can be said of this man except the legacy of the mantle he now wears. King TORA is a cultural icon here in Japan and-

Stephens: WAIT A MINUTE! CM NAS WIPES KING TORA IV OUT FROM BEHIND WITH THE PGW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!! THE PHANTOM TROUPE HAVE RUSHED OUT TO AMBUSH KING TORA IV ON THE RAMP! SANTIAGO AND THE APPARITION SCRAMBLE OUT OF THE RING TO HELP BUT THEY ARE TOO LATE! Sȃngkȃt holds King Tora IV up in place… DEATH’S VOW!!! THE BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE LANDS FROM SAUL OMEN AND KHMAOCH SȂNGKȂT LIFTS KING TORA FOR A BRAINBUSTER ON THE RAMP! AND HERE COMES THE CAVALRY! THE APPARITION LUNGES STRAIGHT FOR SȂNGKȂT WITH CLOSED FISTED STRIKES TO THE HEAD! SANTIAGO DIVES STRAIGHT FOR A SINGLE LEG TAKEDOWN ON SAUL OMEN BUT CM NAS PUNTS HER IN THE RIBS AND LAUNCHES HER INTO THE BARRICADE! KING TORA IS STILL NOT MOVING RIGHT NOW SO IT IS EFFECTIVELY A 3-ON-2 BRAWL OUT HERE AT RINGSIDE WITH THE NUMBERS EVER IN FAVOR OF THE PHANTOM TROUPE!!!

Wilson: A whole horde of officials are flooding out now to separate the two teams but it looks like the Phantom Troupe have have already accomplished exactly what they set out to do. King Tora IV is having to be helped back up to his feet. He might not even be able to compete tonight. The Apparition comes in close to talk with him. I am not sure what they are saying but they grip hands defiantly.

The Apparition (off mic): WE FIGHT!!!

Stephens: YOU HEARD HIM, FOLKS! This match is going ahead as planned, although it looks like King TORA IV is going to have to sit some of this out. He has been ushered away to the time keeper’s area to be checked over by the medical team. The Apparition slides into the ring where a maniacal Khmaoch Sȃngkȃt waits for him.

(DING! DING! DING!)

Wilson: And this match has finally begun officially. The Apparition stands with only little Vanessa Santiago in his corner as he faces off against Khmaoch Sȃngkȃt and The Phantom Troupe. Both veterans charge in together, locking up with a tight collar and elbow tie in the centre of the ring. Sȃngkȃt fires off under the guard with a palm shot to the liver. And another. The Apparition stumbles back from that blow and Sȃngkȃt presses the advantage by locking him in a headlock. The Apparition pushes off against him, driving Sȃngkȃt backwards into the ropes and NAILING him with a big knee to the midsection. Khmaoch staggers out and The Apparition slips behind him, trapping the arm - HE’S LOOKING FOR AN EARLY PHANTASM!

Stephens: NO CIGAR! Khmaoch sees it coming and drills the elbow back into his opponent’s ribs. Now gripping The Apparition by the wrist, Sȃngkȃt spins out underneath it for the wristlock. ARM WRINGER! Sȃngkȃt jerks the shoulder, dropping The Apparition to the canvas and he still has the wrist. He thinks about that patented rolling arm snap, but The Apparition sweeps away his legs AND MANEUVERS STRAIGHT INTO THE FUJIWARA ARMBAR!!! SȂNGKȂT IS SEARING IN PAIN! HE DESPERATELY DRAGS HIMSELF ACROSS THE CANVAS, REACHING OUT TO GRAB THE BOTTOM ROPE!

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

Wilson: The Apparition is forced to release his hold but he isn’t letting the Heritage Champion get off easy. Having weakened the arm, he is once again looking to pry it back for the Phantasm arm-trap suplex but Khmaoch holds onto the rope tightly with both hands to block it. THE APPARITION LEAPS UP ONTO SȂNGKȂT’S SHOULDERS! REVERSE FRANKENSTEINER!!! SȂNGKȂT IS DROPPED ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AND SENT ROLLING ACROSS THE RING! He staggers back to his feet just as The Apparition hits the ropes… SUNSHINE FALCON!!! THE LEAPING SHOULDER BLOCK TAKES KHMAOCH SȂNGKȂT OFF HIS FEET! HE BOUNCES STRAIGHT BACK UP ONLY FOR THE APPARITION TO KNOCK HIM STRAIGHT BACK DOWN WITH ANOTHER SUNSHINE FALCON!!!

Stephens: The Apparition is showing an awful lot of speed and agility for an older guy and it might just have taken the Heritage Champion by surprise. Sȃngkȃt pries himself up to a knee as The Apparition lines up… HE SPRINTS IN FOR RUNNING KNEE - BUT SȂNGKȂT LIFTS HIM INTO THE URANAGE! NO!!! THE APPARITION FLOATS OVER! OCTOPUS STRETCH! OCTOPUS STRETCH LOCKED IN!!! ANOTHER BIG SUBMISSION HOLD FROM THE APPARITION AND SȂNGKȂT MUST ONCE AGAIN INCH HIMSELF OVER TOWARDS THE ROPES! IT IS MORE DRAWN OUT THIS TIME AROUND BUT HE’S GETTING THERE… YES! HE MAKES IT!!!

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

Wilson: The Apparition releases the hold prematurely AND THIS TIME HE HOOKS THE ARM! HE FINALLY GETS THAT ARM TRAPPED AND THIS COULD BE THE PHANTASM! PANIC WASHES OVER SȂNGKȂT’S FACE! HE STICKS THE THUMB OF HIS FREE ARM IN HIS MOUTH - AND JABS IT BACK INTO THE APPARITION’S EYE! THE OFFICIAL DIDN’T GET A GOOD ANGLE ON IT AND NOW THE PHANTOM TROUPE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH IT! SȂNGKȂT DRAGS THE APPARITION OVER TO THE TROUPE’S CORNER AND THE TAG IS MADE! SȂNGKȂT DROPS THE MASKED MAN WITH A URANAGE AS SAUL OMEN ASCENDS TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE… SANGUINE STAR!!! CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS CONNECTS AND SAUL STAYS ON HIM FOR THE COVER!

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

Stephens: Vanessa Santiago barrels in to make the save. AND NOW ALL THREE MEMBERS OF THE PHANTOM TROUPE ARE IN THE RING AND STOMPING HER DOWN!!! THE OFFICIAL IS TRYING IN VAIN TO BRING BACK ORDER INTO THIS MATCH BUT IT ALL DESCENDS IN CHAOS! THE REFEREE MANAGES TO GRAB KHMAOCH BY THE ARM AND PULL HIM BACK TO HIS CORNER BUT SȂNGKȂT IS MAKING A SCENE AND ARGUING LOUDLY WITH HIM! MEANWHILE, SAUL OMEN AND CM NAS CORNER VANESSA SANTIAGO! Nas lunges at her. But Santiago dips underneath his arm and gets behind him. SNAP AMBICION RUBIA INVERTED DDT!!! NEXT IS SAUL OMEN CHARGING AT HER BUT SANTIAGO SWEEPS HIM TO THE CANVAS AND MOVES INTO THE MOUNT! SHE’S HAMMERING AWAY WITH THOSE 12-TO-6 ELBOWS AND THE FANS ARE REALLY BEHIND HER PLUCKY COURAGE HERE!

Wilson: ROUNDHOUSE KICK! CM NAS CLOCKS HER IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD AND SANTIAGO SLUMPS LIKE A SACK OF POTATOES! As the official turns back around, Nas hauls Santiago up and tosses her through the ropes. Nas spins back around and speeds off the ropes… CORKSCREW PLANCHA! CM NAS TAKES OUT VANESSA SANTIAGO AT RINGSIDE AND NOW IT’S JUST SAUL OMEN IN THE RING WITH THE BATTERED APPARITION! One way or another it seems that The Phantom Troupe will just keep bending the rules in their favor but it is hard to argue that they are not having success here tonight. Saul Omen stands tall as The Apparition just begins to pull himself up to his feet. THE APPARITION THROWS HIMSELF AT HIM! BUT HE HASN’T GOT THE STRENGTH! SAUL SPRAWLS WELL BEFORE DRAGGING HIM BACK UP AND HOOKING THE LEG… EXPLODER SUPLEX CONNECTS! OMEN SHOUTS AT HIM TO GET BACK UP AND SLOWLY HE DOES! THIS IS IT… MEMENTO MORI!!!

Stephens: NO!!! THE APPARITION DUCKS IT! HE HITS A SNAP BELLY-TO-BACK SUPLEX AND THEN TURNS TO HIS CORNER TO TRY AND MAKE THE TAG BUT NOBODY IS THERE! HE IS JUST REALISING HOW MUCH TROUBLE HE IS IN AS HE TURNS AROUND TO SEE OMEN SPRINTING IN FOR A DEATH’S VOW! THE APPARITION SIDESTEPS IT AND BLITZES TOWARD THE PHANTOM TROUPE’S CORNER! TRIANGLE DROPKICK KNOCKS SȂNGKȂT OFF THE APRON! BUT HERE IS SAUL OMEN CLUBBING THE APPARITION FROM BEHIND! HE LOCKS IN THE FULL-NELSON… AND THERE IS THE DRAGON SUPLEX! The Apparition’s burst of adrenaline snuffed out just like that. Saul Omen drags him up by the mask to a kneeling position… And he SHOOT KICKS him right across the chest. And again. And again. He is really knocking the wind out of this guy.

Wilson: One way or the other… The Phantom Troupe have a real mean streak and they are letting it out on The Apparition tonight. Saul just keeps kicking away like he is just trying to collapse the man’s ches-THE APPARITION CATCHES THE LEG! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! HE STILL HAS FIGHT IN HIM! OMEN SWINGS THE OTHER FOOT FOR AN ENZUIGIRI BUT IT IS DUCKED! SPINNING HEEL KICK! THE APPARITION DROPS SAUL OMEN WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK AND NOW KING TORA IV! HE IS BACK! HE IS UP ON THE APRON AND AND HE IS HOLLERING TO MAKE THE TAG! ARM OUTSTRETCHED ABOUT AS FAR AS IT CAN GO… TAG MADE!!!

Stephens: Saul Omen is back to his feet. He rushes at King TORA for a lariat but TORA ducks it and sprints past, rebounding off the ropes FOR A SUPER TORA ELBOW! It lands flush and Saul Omen is left groggy. King TORA IV hooks his arms from behind… TORA SUPLEX! TEXTBOOK BRIDGE THERE TO REALLY DRIVE OMEN ONTO HIS SKULL! TORA rolls him back up into position once again. AND THAT IS A SECOND TORA SUPLEX! TORA IS ON FIRE!!! HE KIPS UP AND NOW DRAGS OMEN BETWEEN HIS LEGS, UNDER-HOOKING BOTH ARMS! THE CROWD ARE ON THEIR FEET! THEY KNOW THAT HE’S PREPARING TO HIT THE LEGENDARY TORA BOMB 18’... BUT WHAT THE HELL!?!?

Wilson: SȂNGKȂT! SȂNGKȂT JUST DRAGGED THE APPARITION OFF THE APRON BEFORE CHARGING HIS SPINE AGAINST THE RINGPOST! AND HERE IS SANTIAGO IN A FLASH - GUANTANAMERA!!! SHE HITS THE SHINING WIZARD OFF THE RING STEPS TO KHMAOCH SȂNGKȂT AND SHE DOES NOT STOP THERE! THE GENERAL IS BEATING THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF HER FORMER STABLEMATE OUT HERE AT RINGSIDE! BUT BACK IN THE RING!!! KING TORA IV WAS DISTRACTED FROM THE COMMOTION AND SAUL OMEN BURSTS BACK TO LIFE, PUSHING HIM BACK INTO THE PHANTOM TROUPE’S CORNER! CM NAS TAGS HIMSELF HIM! SAUL OMEN PLANTS A NAIL IN THE COFFIN SINGLE UNDERHOOK DDT BEFORE HELPING NAS LIFT KING TORA IV UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS… ETHER! NAS HITS THE ETHER AND I THINK THAT IS GOOD NIGHT TO KING TORA IV!!!

Stephens: Vanessa Santiago has just realised what has happened. SHE HITS THE RING BUT SAUL OMEN IS THERE TO HOLD HER BACK! SHE’S HOWLING AND THROWING ELBOW AT HIM OVER THE GUARD BUT IT IS NO USE! CM NAS SMILES AS HE DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER!!!

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

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“I’m The One” by Static X erupts from the speakers as Khmaoch Sȃngkȃt collects he and CM Nas’ titles from the time keeper’s area. The Phantom Troupe gloat as they make their way hastily up the ramp. Vanessa Santiago and The Apparition gather in the ring to check on King TORA IV.)

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, your winners by way of pinfall… CM NAS!... KHMAOCH SȂNGKȂT!… SAUL OMEN!… THE PHANTOM TROUPE!!!

Wilson: And just like that, it’s over. The Phantom Troupe’s prematch attack on King TORA IV paying dividends as Shoot Nation found themselves consistently on the back foot and on the wrong side of the numbers game.

Stephens: Out-hustled again, but all credit to Shoot Naysh for putting up a fight against the odds. Especially King TORA IV for coming back like he did. Though if he was hurt before the match, I’d hate to know what kind of condition he must be in now.

(The crowd gives a polite Japanese ovation as The Apparition pulls King TORA IV up to his feet and begins to help him up the ramp. A dejected Vanessa Santiago follows some ways behind.)

Wilson: Well isn’t this nice to see at least? You’d never catch this kind of camaraderie in the Phantom Troupe. Good on The Apparition here for acting the leader here and looking after the kid. With bonds like this, I’m sure that Shoot Nation will have their day soon enou-

(Lights out.)

Crowd: WHOOOAAAAA!?!? (Murmuring in Japanese.)

Stephens: What the hell?

(Lights still out, pyro erupts separating the stage from the ramp. When the lights return, The Apparition and King TORA IV are at the top of the stage isolated from Vanessa Santiago on the ramp by a wall of fire. Vanessa turns around to see John Doe smiling behind her.)

Wilson: IT IS JOHN DOE! WHAT ON EARTH IS HE DOING HERE!?!?

Stephens: ARE YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING!? JOHN DOE HAS COME TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF VANESSA SANTIAGO FOR TURNING HER BACK ON THE TROUPE! SHE HAS NOWHERE TO GO AND HER NEW FRIENDS CAN’T REACH HER WITH THIS WALL OF FIRE CUTTING OFF THE TOP OF THE RAMP! SHE’S FALLEN RIGHT INTO HIS TRAP!!!

Wilson: Vanessa Santiago lingers in stunned silence for a moment but it looks like she is coming to realise that there is only one way out of this situation. SANTIAGO LUNGES AS JOHN DOE FOR A FOREARM! BUT HE BLOCKS IT! VANESSA SANTIAGO IS FIGHTING LIKE A CORNERED ANIMAL BUT JOHN DOE MANAGES TO HOLD HER BACK… HUGE KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION!!! SANTIAGO IS SENT KEELING OVER BY THE FORCE OF THAT STRIKE AND NOW HE IS LIFTING HER UP INTO THE FIREMAN’S CARRY! TORA AND THE APPARITION ARE PLEADING FOR SOMEBODY TO LOWER THE FIRE BUT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO! John Doe stares wickedly at them across the flames… GOODNIGHT SWEET PRINCE!!! JOHN DOE DROPS SANTIAGO INTO THE BICYCLE KNEE AND SHE IS CATATONIC!

Stephens:John Doe looks down almost serenely at the carnage he has just wrought before tilting his head back up to face The Apparition and King Tora IV. THE FIRE LOWERS! FINALLY!!! SANTIAGO’S ALLIES CHARGE AFTER DOE AND-

(Lights out. Then back on shortly after. )

Stephens: ...He’s gone?

Wilson: Where did he… How?...

Stephens: I… I don’t know. King TORA IV and The Apparition appear to be just as surprised as we are. But at least they have gotten back to her.

Wilson: A little too late, unfortunately. That was utterly heinous. The match was already over. It was gratuitous, senseless violence and something really has to be done about The Phantom because they are getting WAY outta line.

Stephens: Agreed. I’m sure Daniels will have something to say about this soon enough.

(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 SECOND 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!!!!!!

(“Party Girl” by McFly erupts from the sound system as Belle Kingsley walks out to cheers from the crowd.)

Ring Announcer: And his opponent, from Newark, New Jersey… weighing in at 120 pounds… “THE BELLE OF THE BALL”... BELLE KINGSLEY!!!!!

Stephens: Both of these superstars have earned the respect and love of the Japanese crowds here since their debuts in Strong Style Wrestling. Now they stand before each other, both quarterfinalists of the Heaven’s Arena Cup, and despite how hard both have worked to get here, despite how much the crowd loves them, the fact remains - there will only be one winner, one person going to the semi-finals of the Heaven’s Arena Cup. Who’s it going to be?

(DING! DING! DING!)

Wilson: Belle and Endeavor lock right up -- AND ENDEAVOR WITH A STIFF ELBOW KNOCKING BELLE BACK!!! AND A DROPKICK!!! BELLE KINGSLEY GOES DOWN AND ENDEAVOR ROLLS OUT OF THE RING, RUNNING AROUND THE ADJACENT CORNER BEFORE CHARGING BACK IN WITH MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MOMENTUM…

Stephens: HOLY -- LOOK AT BELLE KINGSLEY!!!! A FORWARD HANDSPRING… AND SHE CATCHES ENDEAVOR WITH THE CUTTER!!!! THE FATEFUL FALL!!!!! BELLE GOES STRAIGHT TO THE TOP ROPE AS THE ENTIRE STADIUM RISES TO THEIR FEET…. FOR THE BELLE CURVE!!!!! BELLE DRIVES BOTH FEET INTO THE MIDSECTION OF ENDEAVOR WITH THE MOONSAULT DOUBLE FOOT-STOMP!!!!! BELLE ROLLS BACK OVER ENDEAVOR AND HOOKS THE LEG!!!!

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

(DING! DING! DING!)

Ring Announcer: Here is your winner by way of pinfall AND ADVANCING TO THE SEMIFINALS OF THE HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP TOURNAMENT... BELLE KINGSLEY!!!!!!!!

Wilson: That’s one of the beautiful things about this sport, you never know how - or when - any given match can end, and in this case, Belle Kingsley took advantage of one small slip-up from Endeavor to clinch the win. The question now is, can Endeavor bounce back - and as for Belle Kingsley, who will she face next week? We’ll find that out next!

(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 SECOND ROUND HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP MATCH!!!

(“Come Together” by Godsmack blasts on the sound system to where we see Gronk marching out with the beat of the song, nodding his head at the song, before raising his hands in the air with a primal roar escaping his mouth. He proceeds to march down the ramp to where he has an intense gaze on his eyes while he enters the ring.)

Ring Announcer: Introducing first, he is from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania… he weighs in at 370 pounds… representing The Phantom Troupe… “THE BROAD STREET BULLY”... GRROOONNNNKKKKK!!!

Mark Stephens: The juggernaut of The Phantom Troupe, a man with the potential to destroy the entire roster of talent that we have, makes his way down this ramp to prepare for more of that same rampant destruction that he has become known for! You saw what happened when Piero attempted to get in the ring with this man, what’s going to happen to his opponent tonight?

Daniel Wilson: He’s going to suffer the fate of what happens when you hear those words… GRONK SMASH! This man is the sole member of The Phantom Troupe left in The Heaven’s Arena Cup Tournament and this is why! The entire arena changes in complexion when this man enters the ring, the entire crowd intimidated like most of the roster, and Phantom Troupe knows that with this man in their corner… there’s no other option in this race for The Heaven’s Arena Cup!

(“The Man” by The Killers hits the speakers with Chase Vedder walking out onto the stage, but not with the brash confidence that he has been known for in the past, but trepidation is plastered upon his face to where he walks down the ramp to meet his opponent. With wary eyes towards his opponent in the ring, Chase climbs up the steps as he stands on the ring apron to look into the ring.)

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

Mark Stephens: Chase Vedder snuck his way into the second round of The Heaven’s Arena Cup Tournament with a clever roll-up attempt onto Damien Walker, but I don’t think he’ll have much luck in something like that with this match. The mad titan known as Gronk might prove to be too mighty of a foe for Chase to overcome and with that said, we could be saying sayonara to Chase in this tournament!

Daniel Wilson: Give this man some credit, Mark! He has been thinking out of the box to come up with solutions for the chance to erase this reputation that has been put on him by Racer Smiles of being a failure when it comes to major opportunities! This could be a defining moment to where he could turn all of this around!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Mark Stephens: The bell has been rung for this match to start with Chase Vedder sitting out on the apron still, not even entering the ring with Gronk, who is anxious enough to get this match started and over with! THE BIG BEHEMOTH DOESN’T SPARE ANY TIME TO WHERE HE RUSHES STRAIGHT OVER TOWARDS CHASE, BUT CHASE DROPS DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO WHERE HE LOOKS WITH FEAR TOWARDS GRONK! Gronk quickly exits out of the ring to the floor as Chase starts to make his way up the ramp to try to avoid him! CHASE IS LITERALLY RUNNING FROM THIS FIGHT!

Daniel Wilson: BUT LOOK AT THE LIGHTNING QUICK SPEED OF GRONK! FOR A MASTODON LIKE HIM, HE’S MOVING LIKE A CHEETAH TO CAPTURE CHASE VEDDER BY HIS HAIR, DRAGGING HIM DOWN THE RAMP TOWARDS THE RING! OH MY GOODNESS! GRONK JUST THROWS CHASE INTO THE RING WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE OVER THE TOP ROPE! CHASE JUST PANCAKES ONTO THE CANVAS BEFORE HE STARTS TO PICK HIMSELF UP, HOWLING IN PAIN AS HE HOLDS HIS CHEST, WHEN GRONK STARTS TO COME BACK INTO THE RING! HOLD UP! CHASE SEES AN OPENING AND TAKES IT AS HE STARTS LAYING INTO THE BACK OF GRONK’S HEAD WITH A SERIES OF STOMPS! CHASE DOING WHATEVER HE CAN AT THIS POINT TO SURVIVE THE DESTRUCTION THAT LOOMS FROM THE HANDS OF GRONK!

Mark Stephens: Chase Vedder continues to strike with the stomps into the head of Gronk before he looks towards the ropes SPRINTING RIGHT INTO THE ROPES BEFORE HE RETURNS BACK FOR THE MIDWESTERN LARIAT TO THE BACK OF GRONK’S HEAD AFTER HE STANDS BACK TO HIS FEET! DISCUS LARIAT! CHASE VEDDER IS TURNED INSIDE OUT WITH THE DISCUS LARIAT FROM GRONK TO WHERE HE FLIPS MID-AIR TO LAND ONTO THE CANVAS! For a moment, you might have been able to believe that Chase might have been able to survive, but that was only a fool’s tale as now Gronk has claimed this match for his own with just that brutal lariat right there!

Daniel Wilson: Gronk roars out to the crowd with bloodlust before he turns around to get his attention focused onto Chase Vedder, stalking over towards him to where he grabs Chase by his tights, hoisting him up in the air BEFORE HE THROWS HIM ON HIS SHOULDER FOR GRONK SMASH! HE HAS HIM UNDER HIS ARMS FOR THE CRUCIFI-- CHASE ESCAPES! CHASE DROPS DOWN AND RUNS OVER TOWARDS THE TURNBUCKLE TO WHERE HE RUNS UP IT AND LEAPS BACK FOR THE SPRINGBOARD ROUNDHOUSE KICK! THE KICK CRACKLES AGAINST THE JAW OF GRONK TO WHERE HE STUMBLES BACK AND DROPS TO A KNEE BEFORE CHASE NOTICES THAT HE HAS FELLED THE MONSTROUS TITAN! Chase quickly rushes over towards the kneeling Gronk to where he hooks him by the neck SPIKING GRONK ON HIS HEAD FOR THE SNAP DDT! THINKING OF NO OTHER OPTION AT THIS POINT, CHASE USES A LOT OF HIS STRENGTH TO ROLL GRONK ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND HOOK HIS LEG IN FOR A PIN ATTEMPT!

Referee: ONNNEEE!!!...

Mark Stephens: NO WAY! GRONK TOSSES CHASE VEDDER OFF OF HIM WITH THE ONE-COUNT TO WHERE CHASE HOLDS HIS FACE IN DISBELIEF TO WONDER WHAT HE CAN DO TO PUT THIS MONSTROSITY AWAY! Chase stands up to his feet and goes over towards the ropes LEAPING ONTO THEM AS IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S GOING FOR MOONAGE DAYDREAM! THE DOUBLE SPRINGBOARD PHOENIX SPL-- THE KNEES! GRONK CATCHES CHASE WITH THE KNEES BEFORE GRONK STANDS UP AND PULLS CHASE UP WITH HIM! THIS COULD BE IT! OBELISK! SWINGING VERTICAL NECKBREAKER! GRONK DROPS CHASE BY HIS NECK ON HIS KNEE BEFORE HE THROWS CHASE DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS TO HOOK HIS LEG IN FOR THE PIN!

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

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Come Together” by Godsmack plays in the background to where Gronk stands up to his feet and roars in celebration towards the crowd to where he nods his head and enjoys the destruction he has created.)

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

Mark Stephens: GRONK HAS DONE IT! Gronk has created another victim in this tournament to where he will face Belle Kingsley in the semifinals of The Heaven’s Arena Cup Tournament! With that being the future that has been created for Gronk, we could very well be looking at our Heaven’s Arena Cup winner right here!

Daniel Wilson: HE’S MY FAVORITE TO WIN IT! Gronk has already gained the attention of the international audience to where they are flocking towards him and as a member of The Phantom Troupe, his odds are just insurmountable in winning this entire tournament and choosing whatever championship he desires to challenge for at his own decree!

(Gronk climbs over the top rope and onto the ring apron to where he drops down, walking his way up the ramp and out of the arena, right before we see Chase Vedder being rolled out of the ring! Chase nearly collapses onto the floor, but is able to catch himself on the barricade, realizing that he has just been defeated. He slams his hands on the barricade, stumbling his way towards the exit to where he holds his neck, shoving the camera away that was pointed at his face.)

(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 SECOND ROUND HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP MATCH!!!

(“Forces” by Susumu Hirasawa echoes throughout The Fumin Kyosai Super Arena to bring forth the arrival of Masanori Kawada, who emerges with a smile on his face, as the crowd are heavily on his side with the chants of "KA-WA-DA!". He slaps hands with the fans before he walks down towards the barricade, leaning against it before starting to clap to the melody of his music, getting a large chunk of the audience to follow before climbing the steps.)

Ring Announcer: Introducing first, he is from Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan… he weighs in at 247 pounds… representing Shoot Nation… “THE EVERLASTING HERO”... MAASSSAAANNNOOORRRRIIIII KAAWWWAAADDDDAAAAA!!!

Mark Stephens: Masanori Kawada hasn’t been able to have the best of beginnings here in this tournament to where he was brutalized by CM Nas to force a disqualification victory to move him forward into the tournament, but we are bound to see a true classic here between him and The Leader of Ronin to decide who will advance to semifinals of The Heaven’s Arena Cup Tournament!

Daniel Wilson: Yeah, but he has to realize that if he actually does make it to where he wins the entire thing, he has to stand against the might of The Phantom Troupe! Whether it is the rematch against the seemingly unstoppable Khmaoch Sângkât or The Queen of Strong Style Wrestling, Aria Jaxon, it will be a challenge that will test his mind and body unlike anything he has endured before!

(“Big Bad Wolf” by In This Moment blasts on the speakers as smoke fills across the stage to where Tarah Nova steps out to appears from the smoke with a sadistic smirk on her lips and both SSW Freebird Tag Team Championships her shoulders. She gracefully walks down the ramp as the crowd around her chants “AR-U-KU-SHI!” towards her. She climbs onto the top rope, holding the SSW Freebird Tag Team Championships in the air as she stands there, dropping down to the ring as she sets her championships down in the corner.)

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!!!

Mark Stephens: Tarah Nova had a pretty impressive first round to where she was able to take one of The Phantom Troupe by surprise and pin them in a quick manner! However, I think that she’s determined to make this match last a bit longer to where she can show the world the talents that brought her to being known as one-half of the SSW Freebird Tag Team Champions!

Daniel Wilson: It will definitely be a tough challenge with Masanori Kawada having a serious edge in size and strength, but the speed and stamina that Tarah Nova has might be able to tip this match to her side! Tarah has been in this situation before and at the end of the night, this will be a war that I believe everyone will enjoy watching!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Mark Stephens: Another round of The Heaven’s Arena Cup tournament has started to where both Masanori Kawada and Tarah Nova both size one another up before walking towards one another, with Kawada deciding to do the honorable thing by extending his hand out for the handshake! Tarah is now left with a decision on what to do to where we’ve known her to be a pretty honorable fighter herself when it comes to Strong Style Wrestling, but considering her relationship with the man that brutalized him in the first round, there has to be some apprehension there! Tarah looks all around the Fumin Kyosai Super Arena before she turns back SHAKING THE HAND OF KAWADA TO WHERE A MUTUAL RESPECT IS SHARED BETWEEN THEM! IT’S BEEN SOME TIME SINCE WE’VE SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS ON STRONG STYLE WRESTLING!

Daniel Wilson: I’m not of the opinion of this being the best way to watch these types of matches unfold, but as long as the passion is still there, this should be entertaining! Both participants are walking around to ring to continue to size their opponents WHERE THEY EVENTUALLY LOCK HORNS IN A POWER STRUGGLE FOR CONTROL OF THIS MATCH! The obvious size and strength advantage starts to come into effect where Masanori Kawada pushes Tarah Nova back into the turnbuckle corner BUT TARAH IS NO SLOUCH AS SHE SPINS OUT AND STARTS TO FORCE HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! The impressed crowd starts to clap for her before she releases him, patting him on the chest, as she bows and walks back to the center of the ring! Masanori chuckles about the way that she had turned this around on him before he steps out and they both start to walk around the ring WITH KAWADA GOING RIGHT BACK TO GRAPPLE!

Mark Stephens: TARAH NOVA STRIKES WITH A STIFF KICK TO THE CHEST THAT SENDS MASANORI KAWADA REELING IN RESPONSE! Tarah keeps striking with the shoot kicks in the chest to send Kawada back into the turnbuckle BEFORE TARAH SPRINTS BACK TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER AND STARTS TO RUN IN WITH THE RUNNING CORNER DROPKICK! Kawada stumbles out of the corner as Tarah rushes to the ropes to rebound off RETURNING WITH A RUNNING HIGH KNEE RIGHT TO HIS FACE! KAWADA DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE TO WHERE HE STARTS TO SHAKE HIS HEAD FROM THE IMPACT OF THE KNEE AS TARAH ROLLS RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET! TARAH STRIKES WITH A KICK STRAIGHT INTO THE CHEST OF KAWADA TO WHERE SHE KEEPS STRIKING WITH THOSE STIFF KICKS BEFORE BACKING UP TO STRIKE WITH A HUGE ROUNDHOUSE TO THE SKULL!

Daniel Wilson: MASANORI KAWADA DUCKS UNDER THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK AND SHOOTS UP TO HIS FEET TO CAPTURE TARAH NOVA FROM BEHIND BY HER WAIST! RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! TARAH IS THROWN CLEAR ACROSS THE RING TO WHERE KAWADA JUMPS UP TO HIS FEET WITH ALL THE ENERGY OF THE FANS BEHIND HIM! Kawada spins around to where he watches Tarah pick herself back up to her feet, turning around RIGHT INTO A CRACKLING KNIFE-EDGE CHOP RIGHT INTO THE CHEST OF TARAH THAT LIGHTS HER UP! Tarah holds her chest from that impact before Masanori Kawada hooks her in by the head PULLING HER BETWEEN HIS LEGS AS HE THROWS HER UP! GALLON THROW! TARAH LANDS RIGHT ON HER CHEST AND FACE WITH THE ALLEY OOP POWERBOMB TO SHOWCASE THE STRENGTH THAT KAWADA HAS INSIDE OF HIM TO WHERE HE JUMPS UP AND FLEXES FOR THE CROWD! Kawada walks over towards the turnbuckle corner, crouching down to where he looks over towards Tarah, looking to strike WITH THE SPEAR OF JUSTICE ONTO TARAH!

Mark Stephens: Tarah Nova starts to climb her way up to her feet to where Masanori Kawada sprints in TO DROP HER WITH THE SPEAR O-- RUNNING T-SPIKE! TARAH BLASTS KAWADA IN THE FACE WITH THE RUNNING ENZIGURI TO WHERE HE STANDS STUNNED FROM THE KICK! Tarah rolls up to her feet and grabs Kawada from behind, wrapping his arm back in the wristlock, pulling back on the arm AS SHE LOOKS FOR THE KILLJOY BUZZER! THE SL-- FOREARM STRIKE! KAWADA BLASTS TARAH IN THE JAW WITH THE FOREARM STRIKE TO WHERE HE STARTS TO CALL FOR TARAH TO BRING HER BEST! Tarah grabs her jaw to where she nods her head SLAPPING HIM ACROSS THE FACE TO WHERE SHE SHOWS THAT FIRE THAT HAS MADE HER A TAG TEAM CHAMPION! She screams for him to do better than that MEETING HER WITH ANOTHER HARD FOREARM SHOT TO THE JAW! SHE’S NOT GOING DOWN! SHE STRIKES WITH ANOTHER SHOOT KICK TO THE CHEST TO WHERE KAWADA RESPONDS WITH ANOTHER FOREARM SHOT! HE LANDS ANOTHER AND ANOTHER! KAWADA HAS STARTED TO BUILD A HEAD OF STEAM! Kawada steps back to rear his hand back STRIKING HER RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH THE TEXAS SMASH!

Daniel Wilson: SUPERKICK! TARAH NOVA LANDS A SUPERKICK TO THE FACE OF MASANORI KAWADA THAT LEAVES HIM STUNNED TO WHERE SHE GRABS HIM BY THE NECK AND POINTS OVER TOWARDS THE TURNBUCKLE! She sprints over towards the turnbuckle FLIPPING UP AND OVER FOR THE TRIPLE X DROP! THE SLICED BREAD NUMBER TWO! SHE DROPS KAWADA DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS TO WHERE THE REFEREE SLIDES IN FOR THE COVER AS TARAH HOOKS IN THE LEG!

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

Mark Stephens: MASANORI KAWADA THROWS HIS SHOULDER UP FOR THE KICK OUT! Tarah Nova could have advanced to the semifinals right there, but the will of Masanori Kawada to push forward was just too strong! The will of a hero, as they say! Tarah stands back up to her feet to where she has to figure out what to do to put away The Everlasting Hero to where she walks back into the turnbuckle STOMPING TO THE GROUND TO WHERE THE CROWD GASPS IN AWE TO WHERE THEY KNOW WHAT’S ARRIVING TO END THIS MATCH! Kawada starts to push his way up to his feet to all fours to where Tarah sprints in LOOKING FOR THE RUDE AWAKENING! OH MY GOODNESS! THE SPEAR OF JUSTICE! KAWADA LAUNCHES HIS ENTIRE BODY STRAIGHT TOWARDS TARAH ON THE JOURNEY TO LAND THAT CURB STOMP AND SPLITS HER IN HALF WITH THAT DEVASTATING SPEAR! Both of them are down to where Kawada starts to drag himself over towards the ropes, using them to drag his entire body up to his feet, to where he looks back to see Tarah still grasping onto her ribs from the impact of that spear! Kawada could have this match won right here!

Daniel Wilson: Masanori Kawada signals to the crowd that he’s about to end this right here as he walks over towards her, lifting her up to her feet to where he hooks her by the neck, pointing up AS HE LOOKS TO BE GOING FOR K-DYNAMITE! NO! TARAH IS STRIKING WITH ELBOWS AND A FLURRY OF STRIKES BEFORE SHE SHOVES HIM AWAY! Tarah runs back to the ropes to where she rebounds LOOKING FOR A RUNNING K-- KNEE STRIKE TO THE STOMACH! TARAH COLLAPSES TO THE FLOOR TO HOLD HER ALREADY INJURED MID-SECTION FROM THAT SAVAGE SPEAR OF JUSTICE TO WHERE KAWADA NOTICES THE DAMAGE IT HAS CREATED! Kawada drags Tarah to her feet AS HE HOOKS HER BETWEEN HIS LEGS! He lifts her up and holds her up her arms DROPPING HER WITH THE TITAN BOMB! THE SIT-OUT CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB IS DONE TO WHERE TARAH MAKES A STIFF IMPACT ONTO THE CANVAS RIGHT ON HER BACK TO WHERE KAWADA HOLDS HER DOWN THERE FOR THE PIN!

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

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Forces” by Susumu Hirasawa plays in the background to where Masanori Kawada shoots up to his feet with excitement to where he raises his hands in the air, celebrating a tremendous victory here tonight, to where he looks up in the air with relief.)

Ring Announcer: Here is your winner AND ADVANCING TO THE SEMIFINALS OF THE HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP TOURNAMENT… MAASSSAAANNNOOORRRRIIIII KAAWWWAAADDDDAAAAAA!!!

Mark Stephens: THERE YOU HAVE IT, FOLKS! MASANORI KAWADA MOVES ON TO THE SEMIFINALS OF THE HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP TOURNAMENT WITH A VICTORY OVER THE LEADER OF RONIN! These two participants had a fantastic competition between each other to where both of them should be more than proud of the match that they have delivered here tonight! Both are more than deserving to move onto the semifinals, but Masanori Kawada was the one that stood tall at the end of the match!

Daniel Wilson: Even though these two might not be my favorites in this tournament, both delivered in this fight tonight! They gave it everything to make sure that they should be the ones to walk into the next round for the opportunity to challenge any champion they desire at Domination! However, he moves on with the potential to face either the biggest enigma of Strong Style Wrestling in Atem Octavian Amun-Ra, or his own partner and leader of Shoot Nation… Jaydayne Pendragon!

(Masanori Kawada starts to help Tarah Nova up to her feet to where he nods his head towards her, grabbing her by her wrist, as he holds her hand up for the crowd to give her an applause! He claps with her before he rolls out of the ring, making his exit as he still takes the time in there to celebrate, while Tarah sits in the ring shaking her head about not being able to get the job done. She rolls out of the ring and starts to make her own exit, still making time to give the fans a moment of her time, before leaving the arena.)

(The camera pans back into the arena as "Paint it, Black" by Ramin Djawadi hits, Brian Daniels enters with a microphone into the Fumin Kyosai Super Arena as the Osaka crowd respectfully applauds Brian Daniels, instead of his usual cheerful entrance, he looks very focused and prepared...)

Daniel Wilson: Does our chairman actually know what he's getting himself into? He's one man against an entire army of The Troupe that couldn't careless... I don't know who he thinks he is---

Mark Stephens: He's Brian Daniels. Have you not done your studying? Daniels clearly knows what he's up against. He's been in far worse situations against the likes of Ares Vendetta and Lannister and so much more. This will be no different, but I can't say I'm not worried for his health. We don't know what sort of shape he's in ever since his last match against Robbie V...

Daniel Wilson: That's exactly the issue. If he's not going to be an active talent on this roster, he should put his health and this company above anything else! How is he going to run an entire wrestling company from a permanent comatose state? He'll end up just like his friend Robbie V, before he arose from that wheelchair!

Mark Stephens: I guess we'll just have to see, won't we?

(Brian Daniels enters the ring, with a look of concern, "Paint it Black" dies down, as the crowd settles down as well, Brian Daniels lifts the microphone to his mouth...)

Brian Daniels: I'm not new to this. I'm not new to having to manage a roster of rebellions. But this situation we have going on here is on a whole new level of insanity. I'd be a fool if I didn't address the elephant in the room. For weeks in and weeks out --- The Phantom Troupe has gotten away with absolutely everything. When restricted, they just found new ways to terrorize the men and women on the roster that aren't one of them. I won't allow this any further. I can't stand around here and allow their crimes to go unpunished. I know that them and everyone else see "justice" in a whole different way. But this is no longer about "justice" or "bad guys versus good guys"... this is about the health and well being of Strong Style Wrestling and the wrestlers within.

(Brian Daniels pauses for a moment, pacing back and forth, before stopping in the center of the ring...)

Brian Daniels: I also know the danger I'm up against right now. I know that any form of ally that I had once is now gone. Robbie V, The Pizza Boy, and Devan Dubian have no reason to be here. I've accepted that I'm fully alone in this all. I've accepted that I will put an end to The Phantom Troupe as a whole by myself!

(The crowd cheers)

Brian Daniels: That's right - you want some, Troupe? You want to bully someone? Bully me --- see how the wrath of a dragon feels like.

(The crowd once again cheers)

Brian Daniels: And that's not me ASKING for you to come down here... THAT'S ME DEMANDING IT.

(Brian Daniels throws down the microphone, preparing himself for absolutely anything... but suddenly the lights go out)

Wilson: He just had to walk up on the devil's doorstep...

(A long period is given before the lights return on... where Brian Daniels is now surrounded by four Phantom Troupe members on the outside of the ring... Saul Omen to his left, CM Nas to his right, Khmaoch Sângkât in front of him, and Daniels turns around to see Gronk behind him...)

Stephens: This is not good! This is awful! Someone do something!

Wilson: He asked for this! He said he'd end them all by himself!

(Brian Daniels cautiously in a battle stance, tries his best to watch every inch around him, doing his best to keep an eye on all four Phantom Troupe members, as they slowly try to pull themselves onto the apron... Saul Omen makes the first move...)

Stephens: OMEN TRIED! BUT DANIELS CHARGES! OMEN BACKS DOWN!!!

(CM Nas gets onto the apron...)

Wilson: DANIELS CHARGES AGAIN!!!... BUT NAS JUMPS DOWN! They're toying with him, Mark! This is the exact mentality I knew they'd come in with!

(Khmaoch Sângkât immediately tries to rush into the ring...)

Stephens: OH!!! DANIELS CAUGHT HIM! DANIELS IS CLOBBERING DOWN ON KHMAOCH WITH SEVERAL FISTS AND KNEES!!!!!.... BUT FROM BEHIND!!! GRONK EFFORTLESSLY LIFTS DANIELS UP AND TOSSES HIM ACROSS THE RING!!! OH NO!!!! BUT DANIELS KIPS UP! OMEN AND NAS ENTER THE RING! DANIELS CHARGES FULL FORCE AT GRONK! BUT GRONK PLOWS THROUGH HIM WITH A SHOULDER BLOCK THAT SENDS DANIELS FLYING INTO CM NAS!!!! AND CM NAS LANDS A SUPER GOD FIST!!!!!

Wilson: HOW IS DANIELS STILL STANDING??? HE'S WOBBLING AROUND... OH!!! KHMAOCH UNLOADS WITH A MULTITUDE OF OPEN PALM STRIKES ACROSS THE BODY!!! THOUSAND-ARMED BODHISATTVA!!!! DANIELS BARELY ABLE TO HANG ON... BARELY ABLE TO STAND... AND IS FINALLY TAKEN OFF HIS FEET WITH A SINGLE BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE!!! THE DEATH'S VOW BY SAUL OMEN!!!! JUST ABSOLUTE CARNAGE!!!

(CM Nas, Khmaoch, Gronk, and Saul all stand over Brian Daniels... but Khmaoch once again lifts him up)

Stephens: OH COME ON! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!

(Khmaoch pulls Daniels in...)

Wilson: PLANTING THE KAPOK TREE!!!! GOTCH STYLE PILEDRIVER!!!! DANIELS IS DROPPED RIGHT ON HIS HEAD!!!! BUT THEY'RE NOT THROUGH.... Khmaoch lifts Daniels' nearly lifeless corpse up to a vertical stance... MEMENTO MORI!!!! SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE TEMPLE!!!! DANIELS COLLAPSES TO THE CANVAS ONCE MORE!!!

Stephens: WHERE'S SECURITY? WHERE'S ANYONE?

Wilson: SSW FEARS PHANTOM TROUPE, STEPHENS!

(CM Nas now approaches Daniels, slapping him in the head several times...)

CM Nas: (no mic) You chose the wrong fight, old friend...

(CM Nas proceeds to lift Brian Daniels up onto his shoulders in a fireman's carry position...)

Stephens: COME ON, NAS! YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS!!! NO!!!! NO!!! ETHER!!! NAS DROPS DANIELS FACE FIRST INTO HIS KNEE! DAMNIT! DAMN THE PHANTOM TROUPE!!!

(The crowd is audibly heard booing, while CM Nas is laughing...)

Wilson: What did I tell you, Stephens? Daniels was bound to get hurt.

Stephens: I---OH NO... COME ON....

(Gronk takes his turn to approach Daniels)

Gronk: (shouting) WE'RE NOT FINISHED WITH YOU FILTHY WEEABOO SYMPATHIZER!!!

(Gronk kicks Daniels several times until he's rolled onto the apron...)

Stephens: WHAT IS HE DOING? WHAT IS GRONK DOING?!?!?

(Gronk exits the ring onto the apron and lifts Daniels up...)

Stephens: No... NO!!! HE HAS HIM IN THE CRUCIFIX POSITION!!! GRONK SMASH!!!!! RIGHT INTO THE JAPANESE COMMENTATING TABLES FROM THE APRON!!!!!!!! DEAR GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(The cameramen shuffle to gets shots of Brian Daniels laid out in the rubble of the commentating table, while Gronk stares down gleefully, "Riot" plays throughout the arena, while The Phantom Troupe revel in the chaos they just caused...)

Wilson: I told you SO. I told you that Daniels was treading in shark infested waters! And this is the punishment he gets! We might never see Brian Daniels again thanks to his careless decision making!

Stephens: Careless? HE'S THE DAMN CHAIRMAN...

Wilson: I doubt that anymore.

(The camera continues to focus in on Brian Daniels as medical personnel rush to his aid, The Phantom Troupe take their exit from the ring...)

Stephens: This is unbelievable... someone has to do something about The Phantom Troupe...

Wilson: Good luck with that.

(The medics put Daniels into a neck brace, then hoists Daniels onto a stretcher, then onto a gurney, as then strolls him in a rush out of the arena... as the camera fades to SSW advertisements)

(Strong Style Wrestling will host their largest Pay-Per-View event in the Tokyo Dome from Tokyo, Japan! January 26th, 2019 --- see best of the best at Wrestle Spirit!)

(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 YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING… AND IS A SECOND ROUND HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP MATCH!!!

(“Just Another Hero” by Yuki Hakayashi begins to play as a masked Jaydayne Pendragon in seiza position is slowly elevated from beneath the stage platform. Once reaching level ground he remains in position before he lift his head to remove his mask and run to the ring, where once he slides into the middle to greet the audience with a point and nod.)

Ring Announcer: Introducing first, he is from Westminster, England… he weighs in at 220 pounds… he is the leader of the Shoot Nation… “RED STRIFE”... JAAYYYDDDAAAYYYNNNNEEEEE PEENNNDDDRRRAAAGGGOOOONNNNN!!!

Mark Stephens: Jaydayne Pendragon enters into this tournament with high hopes into joining his Shoot Nation partner into the semifinals to decide who can advance to the finals with one of the biggest opportunities that can be presented to someone in this business, a chance at a championship of their choosing at Domination!

Daniel Wilson: This is a massive opportunity that stands before him to where he can redeem the manner in which he was defeated at Exodus to have the first-ever SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship reign be taken away from him, but he must walk out of this match with a victory attached to his name! Redemption is over the horizon and he hopes that his journey will not end here tonight!

(“For The Glory” by All Good Things hits on the speakers with Atem Octavian Amun-Ra walking out in his golden Egyptian gear to where he stops at the stage, lifting his arms up towards his sides while laughing in glee, striking his hand across to where he screams “MUMMIFY!” out to the crowd that does it with him! He walks down the ramp to where he keeps his arms extended, laughing in that same gleeful sound, as he stops at the bottom of the ramp looking right towards his opponent.)

Ring Announcer: Introducing his opponent, he is from The Ancient Capital of Memphis, Egypt… weighing in at 230 pounds… representing Ronin… “THE SON OF RA”... ATTEEEMMMMM OCCTTTAAAVVVIIIAAAANNNNN AMMUUUNNNNN-RRRRAAAAA!!!

Mark Stephens: In one of the more strange and eccentric stars of the roster, Atem Octavian Amun-Ra earned his way to this point in The Heaven’s Arena Cup Tournament by making short work of Krillin Ivanschenko to where he has been removed from Strong Style Wrestling entirely because of it! I guess he actually did mummify him somewhere…

Daniel Wilson: It was Kirill, not Krillin! We need to put out missing posters, make those ads on the cartons of milk, do something to make sure we find this man because no one has seen him since his encounter with Atem Octavian Amun-Ra! I would be worried about being mummified myself if I was Jaydayne Pendragon, so he better pull out the victory himself if he doesn’t want to join Kirill in the Sarcophagus of Oblivion! Right, that’s what he calls it, Mark?

Mark Stephens: That’s the spirit! Good to see you getting into it!

Daniel Wilson: Oh no, I’m just getting the story straight before I call the police…

(DING! DING! DING!)

Mark Stephens: Our main event and the final Heaven’s Arena Cup Tournament match of the night has been called to start with Jaydayne Pendragon preparing himself to go to war here tonight while Atem Octavian Amun-Ra is just staring out with the wild eyes towards Jaydayne, nodding his head in glee, as he seems very excited to start doing battle with the leader of Shoot Nation! He points directly towards them with a gasp escaping from the crowd before Atem looks to speak!

Atem Octavian Amun-Ra: DRAGON WHO IS MIGHTIER THAN THE PEN! I KNEW YOU’D COME! It is time for us to BATTLE once again on this BATTLEFIELD OF KADESH! Prepare, Dragon Who Is Mightier Than The Pen, for you shall be MUMMIFIED here on this plain!

Daniel Wilson: Uhhh… I share the same sentiments as Jaydayne Pendragon over here to where I’m just confused with that, but Atem Octavian Amun-Ra is more than ready to get things started, so we see Jaydayne and Atem start to walk around the ring BEFORE MEETING IN THE MIDDLE WITH THE GRAPPLE! ATEM STARTS TO PUSH AND SHOVE TO WHERE HIS SIZE STARTS TO BEAT OUT JAYDAYNE, BUT JAYDAYNE SLIDES UNDER AND RUSHES TOWARDS THE ROPES TO AVOID GETTING CAUGHT IN THE TURNBUCKLE! Atem turns around to where Jaydayne rebounds off FLYING IN WITH THE JUMPING LEG LARIAT TO THE FACE OF ATEM! ATEM STEPS OUT OF THE WAY TO WHERE HE AVOIDS BEING MET WITH THE LEG LARIAT AS GRABS JAYDAYNE TO PULL HIM UP TO HIS FEET! He strikes with a punch and a forearm before pulling him in LOOKING FOR THE RAGE OF RA THIS EARLY IN THE MATCH ALREADY! ATEM SPINS FOR I-- JAYDAYNE SHOVES ATEM INTO THE ROPES TO WHERE BOUNCES BACK INTO THE ARMS OF JAYDAYNE! JAYDAYNE HOOKS HIM UNDER HIS ARMS AND THROWS HIM BACK WITH A DRAGON SUPLEX INTO THE CANVAS TO WHERE JAYDAYNE HAS JUST SAVED HIMSELF FROM POTENTIALLY BEING KNOCKED OUT OF THIS MATCH ENTIRELY IN THE SAME MANNER THAT ATEM WON HIS FIRST ROUND MATCH!

Mark Stephens: Atem Octavian Amun-Ra rolls up to his knee to where he holds the back of his neck, looking forward towards his opponent with a smile on his face, right before he starts… clapping? He starts nodding his head and clapping for Jaydayne Pendragon before he screams “WONDERFUL!” at his opponent to where he genuinely seems proud about the offense that his opponent was able to create at his expense! This has got to be one of the strangest things that I have encountered in my years as a wrestling commentator, but Atem finally stops his congratulatory clapping to where he starts walking around the ring again with Jaydayne to size each other up again! Atem starts to go for the grapple while Jaydayne looks to potentially avoid it ONLY ATEM SPINS AROUND AND STRIKES WITH A BACK ELBOW STRIKE RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF JAYDAYNE! JAYDAYNE IS STUNNED FROM THE STRIKE TO WHERE HE STARTS TEETERING BACK INTO THE ROPES! Atem watches his opponent land back into the turnbuckle to where he holds his arms up in glee RUSHING INTO THE TURNBUCKLE FOR THE CORNER LARIAT! BIG BOOT! JAYDAYNE STRIKES WITH THE BIG BOOT INTO THE FACE OF ATEM TO SEND HIM TEETERING BACK TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RING! Jaydayne starts to climb up to the top of the turnbuckle to where he points down LEAPING OFF THE TOP ROPE FOR A DIVING KNEE STRIKE TO THE JAW!

Daniel Wilson: ATEM OCTAVIAN AMUN-RA DUCKS UNDER THE KNEE STRIKE AND CATCHES JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON ON HIS SHOULDERS! He stands up onto his feet to where he carries Jaydayne around before he stops CARTWHEELING TO THE SIDE OF THE DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! ATEM HAS JUST PLANTED JAYDAYNE ONTO THE CANVAS WITH THE CARTWHEEL DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! IMPRESSIVE! He finishes the cartwheel to pop back up to his feet to where he walks around the ring, laughing in glee with those wild eyes and arms extended to his side, before he strikes across his chest again while screaming “MUMMIFY!” as the fans chant it alongside him! Atem is ever so much the entertainer and tonight, that’s exactly what these fans are getting from this man, as he walks over towards the turnbuckle himself CLIMBING TO THE SECOND ROPE AS HE RAISES HIS ARMS TO HIS SIDE ONCE MORE! HE LEAPS OFF! DIVING ELBOW DROP FROM THE SECOND ROPE! NO! JAYDAYNE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY OF THE ELBOW DROP AND ATEM CRASHES DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS! Jaydayne rolls to his feet to where he points over towards the ropes, sprinting over to bounce off them, as he comes from behind LANDING A SHINING WIZARD TO THE BACK OF ATEM’S HEAD!

Mark Stephens: ATEM OCTAVIAN AMUN-RA IS DOWN! HE TAKES A SERIOUS KNEE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD TO WHERE HE DROPS TO THE CANVAS WHILE JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON STANDS ONTO HIS FEET WITH DETERMINATION FILLING HIS EYES! Jaydayne walks over towards the front of Atem to where he drags his foot right under the chin of his opponent to where he starts to hoist him up to his feet from it! Jaydayne is looking pretty confident about how he can hit this to where Atem follows his up to his feet! Jaydayne has him right where he wants him AS HE LOOKS TO LAND THE REN RA-- ATEM PULLS JAYDAYNE IN BY HIS FOOT AND HOOKS HIM BY THE NECK TO WHERE HE LOOKS AT HIM WITH THOSE WILD EYES OF HIS! THIS COULD BE IT! HE SCREAMS CAUGHT BEFORE HE LIFTS HIM UP FOR THE SIDE EFFECT FO-- NO! JAYDAYNE FLOATS OUT OF THE SIT-OUT SIDE SLAM TO WHERE HE HOOKS HIM FROM HIS ARMS AGAIN IN HOPES OF LANDING ANOTHER DRAG-- OUCH! ATEM FIRES BACK WITH A BACK ELBOW INTO THE FACE OF JAYDAYNE TO WHERE SPINS OUT OF IT BY GRABBING HIM BY HIS ARM! He hooks him arm in and grabs his leg LOOKING TO SPIKE HIM WITH THE HAMMERLOCK DDT RIGHT INTO THE CANVAS! NO! JAYDAYNE ROLLS THROUGH WITH ATEM AND HOOKS HIM IN FOR THE CRADLE PIN IN HOPES OF PUTTING HIM AWAY FOR THE PIN!

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

Daniel Wilson: ATEM OCTAVIAN AMUN-RA THROWS HIS SHOULDER UP FROM THE CANVAS AND JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON OFF OF HIS BODY TO WHERE HE FORCES THE KICKOUT! Jaydayne sits up to his feet to where he watches Atem start to stand on his PREPARING TO KNOCK THE LIGHTS OUT OF ATEM TO WHERE HE STARTS PICKING HIMSELF UP! Atem stands up to his feet to where Jaydayne spins around towards his opponent LOOKING FOR THE MASTER SWORD! WHAT? ATEM CATCHES THE ELBOW AND HOOKS HIS ARM BEHIND HIS BACK AGAIN FOR THE HAMMERLOCK BEFORE FLOATING OVER AND HOOKING HIM BY THE NECK AGAIN TO SWING HIM BACK! HAMMERLOCK DDT! ATEM JUST SPIKES JAYDAYNE ONTO HIS HEAD WITH THE HAMMERLOCK DDT OUT OF NOWHERE! I WAS ALMOST POSITIVE THAT JAYDAYNE WAS GOING TO HIT HIM WITH THE MASTER SWORD, BUT THE BRILLIANCE OF THE SON OF RA TO AVOID IT WAS IMPECCABLE! ATEM ROLLS JAYDAYNE ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND HOOKS HIS LEG IN FOR THE PIN! ATEM COULD WELL BE ON HIS WAY TO THE SEMIFINALS OF THE HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP TOURNAMENT RIGHT NOW!

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

Mark Stephens: JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON KICKS OUT OF THE PIN TO WHERE ATEM OCTAVIAN AMUN-RA HAS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HIS NEXT MOVE IS GOING TO BE! Atem starts getting to that primal part of his brain to where he just start striking with madness, repeatedly screaming out “MUMMIFY!”, as the way he kicked out of that started to get to him before he stands up to his feet CALLING FORTH THE RAGE OF RA TO ASSIST HIM! He walks over towards Jaydayne and hoists him up to his feet HOOKING HIM BY THE NECK AS HE LOOKS TO USE THAT TWIST OF FATE! HE SPINS… AND JAYDAYNE SHOVES ATEM TOWARDS THE ROPES ONCE MORE TO AVOID IT AGAIN! THAT’S THE SECOND TIME THIS MATCH THAT HE’S BEEN ABLE TO FIND HIS WAY OUT OF THAT MOVE! Atem bounces off the ropes BUT SPINS FOR A BACK ELBOW STRIKE INTO JAYDAYNE! THE MASTER SWORD! ATEM INSTANTLY COLLAPSES TO THE CANVAS WHEN MET WITH THAT ROLLING ELBOW TO WHERE YOU COULD SEE THE SPIRIT OF RA BEING SAPPED FROM HIS VESSEL! JAYDAYNE IS SHAKING HIS HEAD HOWEVER AS HE’S NOT GOING FOR THE PIN RIGHT NOW! HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT HE CAN PUT ATEM DOWN FOR THE COUNT! He walks over towards the front of Atem and places his boot under the chin of The Awakened Pharoah once more LETTING HIS RISE WITH HIS BOOT AS A SHOW OF DOMINANCE RIGHT HERE! Atem seems out of it as he rises to his feet TO WHERE JAYDAYNE LEAPS FROM THE CRANE KICK TO CATCH ATEM IN THE CHIN! ATEM DROPS DOWN TO THE CANVAS TO WHERE JAYDAYNE QUICKLY RUSHES TO PIN HIS OPPONENT AS HE HOOKS HIS LEG IN FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT! HE COULD BE MAKING HIS WAY TO THE SEMIFINALS OF THE HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP TOURNAMENT RIGHT HERE!

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

Daniel Wilson: WHAT? ATEM OCTAVIAN AMUN-RA WAS ABLE TO THROW HIS SHOULDER UP FROM THE CANVAS TO KICK OUT OF THE REN RAZOR! JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON IS SHOCKED AT HOW MUCH THAT ATEM HAS BEEN ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH HIM IN THIS MATCH! Jaydayne pulls his hair back to where he starts to wonder what will happen to where he pushes himself up to his feet walking his way back towards the ropes LOOKING FOR THAT ISE-NO-KAMI TO FINISH THIS MATCH AND MAKE HIS PATH TOWARDS REDEMPTION! Atem starts to push his way up to his feet to where Jaydayne sprints in LIFTING HIS LEG UP FOR THE SCISSORS KICK TO THE BACK OF HIS NECK! ATEM ROLLS BACK AND OUT OF THE WAY TO WHERE JAYDAYNE HITS NOTHING BUT THE CANVAS! WITH A SHOCKED GAZE ON HIS FACE, JAYDAYNE IS STUNNED AS HE TURNS RIGHT INTO A KICK TO THE STOMACH BY ATEM! Atem hooks Jaydayne by the neck once more LOOKING FOR THE RAGE OF RA FOR THE THIRD TIME IN THIS MATCH! CAN HE HIT IT?

Mark Stephens: ATEM OCTAVIAN AMUN-RA SPINS AROUND FOR THE TWIST OF FATE… ONLY FOR JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON TO ROLL WITH HIM AND LAND A HUGE KNEE STRIKE INTO THE FACE OF ATEM! ATEM IS STUNNED! He stands groggy from the knee strike to where Jaydayne spins around HITTING HIM WITH HITCHEN’S RAZOR! THE SPINNING WHEEL KICK RIGHT INTO THE MOUTH OF ATEM THAT DROPS HIM DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS! ATEM HAS TO BE OUT COLD FROM THAT KICK TO WHERE JAYDAYNE DROPS DOWN AND ROLLS ATEM ON HIS SHOULDERS! JAYDAYNE HOOKS HIS LEGS IN FOR THE PIN TO WHERE HE HOPES TO JOIN HIS SHOOT NATION PARTNER IN THE SEMIFINALS! CAN HE DO IT?

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

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Just Another Hero” by Yuki Hakayashi plays in the background with Jaydayne Pendragon leaping to his feet to where he stumbles over towards the ropes, breathing heavy from the fight he has just had with Atem Octavian Amun-Ra, letting the referee hold his hand in the air.)

Ring Announcer: Here is your winner AND ADVANCING TO THE SEMIFINALS OF THE HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP TOURNAMENT… JAAYYYDDDAAAYYYNNNNEEEEE PEENNNDDDRRRAAAGGGOOOONNNNN!!!

Mark Stephens: JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON DOES IT! HE WILL JOIN MASANORI KAWADA IN THE SEMIFINALS IN COMPETITION BETWEEN BROTHERS OF SHOOT NATION! What a match that these two had to where they put everything into this match to where this was an opportunity that neither man wanted to miss out on! Atem Octavian Amun-Ra could have used this opportunity to gain a rematch with Khmoach Sȃngkȃt for the SSW Heritage Champonship, but Jaydayne Pendragon’s desire and passion to chase after what could be his redemption for Exodus just overwhelmed him!

Daniel Wilson: Let’s not forget that Jaydayne Pendragon simply had The Rage of Ra from Atem Octavian Amun-Ra scouted to perfection to where each attempt, Jaydayne was able to find his way out of it! These two men have nothing to be disappointed in and this has been an amazing match between these two!

Mark Stephens: Jaydayne Pendragon walks over towards a rising Atem Octavian Amun-Ra, Atem looking with curiosity on his face as he stands up, to where an exhausted Jaydayne looks towards him. He looks on… OFFERING HIS HAND AS A SHOW OF RESPECT TOWARDS ATEM! Atem has earned the respect of the leader of Shoot Nation for the way that he has done battle with him here tonight!

Daniel Wilson: Wait! Look at this! Atem is shaking his head! HA! He doesn’t want to shake his hand! He’s not going to disrespect himself like that as he raises his hands by his side as he’s going to do something!

Atem Octavian Amun-Ra: This BATTLE will be a CLASSIC that will live among The Wrestling of The Strongest Styles FOR AGES! This has truly been… WONDERFUL! OOOOHHHHH YAAASSSSSSSSS!

Mark Stephens: Atem Octavian Amun-Ra starts clapping to where he nods his head and beckons the audience to join him, as they do to where Jaydayne Pendragon shakes his head, only for him to accept that before raising Atem’s hand in the air before allowing him to keep on clapping on his exit. However, this is where we must end the show! In the Heaven’s Arena Cup Tournament bracket, we will have Jaydayne Pendragon facing Masanori Kawada along with Gronk going up against Belle Kingsley in the semifinals of The Heaven’s Arena Cup Tournament! This is Mark Stephens, signing off from The Heaven’s Arena Tour, and we’ll see you next time!

(Jaydayne Pendragon exits the ring before he shakes his head with a smile on his face, looking back at hilarity of Atem Octavian Amun-Ra, still walking around the ring clapping with the audience! Jaydayne joins in the clapping before raising his hand towards the audience to bid farewell as he makes his exit before the camera fades to black with Atem screaming “WONDERFUL!”... )
