Klamor: Welcome ladies and gentlemen! We're back in the Richmond Coliseum! We're jam-packed for tonight's edition of Aftershock!
Serra: Thank you for being with us tonight, fans. I'm Becky Serra along side Big Johnny Klamor, calling the action tonight.

The camera goes from ringside to the stage as Amber Warren's music hits. She comes out holding her championship with a solemn face and a mic and walks down to the ring.
Klamor: Well this is a peculiar sight. Amber Warren without Califa.
She enters the ring and after music is muted begins to speak.
Warren: Hello Richmond!
The crowd cheers for the cheap plug.
Warren: Thanks. I just wanted to come out and get something out of my chest. See, me and Califa have been a team for several months now. We travel the road together. We're like the best of friends at this point. We fight all our battles together. But lately I've noticed something. See, despite how close I seem to think we are, I can't shake the feeling that there's some sort of gap between us. It just doesn't feel like we're equals.

Flex and Ramparte appear on stage and walk down to the ring while holding mics each.
Flex: I believe that gap you feel is referred to as "inferiority", little lady. Maybe if you'd put more emphasis on working out instead of shaking the good for the fans, you wouldn't feel that way.
Ramparte: You're not even being that good a friend. You're worrying about being in his shadow instead of going to the kitchen and making him a sandwich. You rea-
Ramparte's words are cut short as Warren slaps him across the face. Flex looks in shock as Ramparte stands back.
Amber: I'm not some weak child! I'm one half of the best tag team in professional wrestling! I may not be headlining Meltdown like my partner. But at least I'm not a loser like you two.
Flex:Oh, you should not have said that. You need to remember your place. And your math. Because it's still just you and us here.
The 3 come to blows as Ramparte and Flex attack Warren. Califa appears on stage and runs out but as he's about to make it to the ring, the lights go out.

???: Do not fear little lady! We'll save you!

The lights come back on but in fill green as Young Justice appear in the ring attacking Cerberus. After Califa gets his bearings, he gets in the ring to check on Amber who looks furious. They also get in the fray as the situation seems to be 4 on 2. Flex and Ramparte are both thrown out of the ring. Young Justice poses as Califa looks on, but Amber grabs the mic and decks Haven in the face with the mic.
Amber: I didn't ask to be saved! I'm not some damsel in distress, dammit!
Warren throws the mic to the floor as Hyada checks on his partner and with a face of shock. Califa approaches his partner as they both walk away together, but Warren doesn't seem to be in a happy mood.
Serra: Wow. Cerberus and Young Justice have both somehow shown total disrespect for Amber Warren.
Klamor: Disrespect? Her partner is stealing her thunder. Cerberus came to give her tips and she attacks them. Young Justice comes to save her and she attacks them too. What is her deal?
-------------
Anderson: The following triple threat match is scheduled for one fall!

The lights dim to a pale yellow with an occasional flicker, as the music begins. The audience voice their displeasure as Terrence Howe appears, with Ilapa in tow as they approach the ring.
Andeson: Introducing first, now residing in Texarkana, Arkansas, weighing 225 pounds, The Goddess, Illapa!
Serra: Ilapa has to be the favourite coming into this match. Not only is she the veteran, but she's also earned herself a shot against the Elite X Champion for her good performance in the Unscripted Battle Royale!
Klamor: And she would have had it won, if it weren't for that meddling Daggershield!
Whilst Howe barks at various audience members who only, Ilapa remains mute, her eyes set on the ring. In tandem, they ascend the steps, with Howe holding the ropes open for the goddess. Howe then stands at ringside, whilst Ilapa removes her vest and cargo pants, awaiting the arrival of her adversaries tonight.

The crowd watch curiously as a trench coat wearing, fedora donning figure walks nonchalantly to the ring, ignoring the audience completely.
Anderson: Introducing next,on loan from Gloom County Police Force, weighing 218 pounds, Detective Frank Mortlock!
Klamor: I spoke to this guy earlier, and what an addition we have to our WZCW roster! Finally we have ourselves a true champion of the law in WZCW!
Serra: That's a self proclaimed champion of the law. And if he's going to need to back that up in the ring tonight in order prove anything.
Still ignoring the audience, Frank Mortlock slowly takes off his hat and trench coat and hangs it on the nearest ring post. He then climbs up the steel steps into the ring and rolls up his sleeves. Standing dangerously close to Ilapa, he throws a few mock boxing jabs, attempting to entice a response, but all he receives is the unflinching, cold gaze of Ilapa staring daggers at him.

Another heavily dressed figure, this time in a magician's hat and cape jogs merrily to the ring and spreads out arms.
Anderson: And from from Hollywood, Florida, weighing in at 203lb pounds, The Magical, Jimmy Wonder!
Klamor: Just what WZCW needs, another doofus to add to our freak show!
Serra: Be quiet, he's about to do a trick!
Asking for a drum roll, Jimmy Wonder removes his hat and shows the insides for the entire audience to see, revealing capacious nothingness. Drawing a magic wand from his pocket, he yells out some magic words before tapping the rim of his hat to reveal...a rabbit scrambling out the hat! The audience roar with endorsement after this astonishing feat!
Serra: How does he do that?
Klamor: I don't care about that, what I care about is that poor rabbit. It must be terrified!
The rabbit timidly hops into the arms of a nearby cameraman as Jimmy Wonder makes his way to the ring, high-fiving all of the fans that he sees. He then flies into the ring like a lightning bolt under the bottom rope, before leaping onto his feet and yelling "TA-DA!", drawing more support from the crowd.
The three competitors all draw closer to one another to form a triangle, with Katie Shepard being tasked to invigilate this match. Asking if all competitors are ready, she receives three nods and calls for the bell so that the match may begin.
*Ding, Ding, Ding*
Jimmy Wonder breaks right out of the starting blocks, throwing himself at Ilapa with great velocity. Ilapa catches Wonder however, and slams him spine first into the turnbuckle, as Mortlock cautiously watches on. As Ilapa unleashes a flurry of furious kicks to the inhibited Wonder, Mortlock takes advantage of this opportunity to throw Ilapa across the ring with a savage German Suplex! Mortlock then approaches the recuperating Wonder and starts choking him against the turnbuckle with his foot. Despite Katie Shepard's requests for him to relinquish his illegal hold, the detective refuses, using the law of the triple threat to his advantage. The audience is already unleashing a vehement chorus of boos on the treacherous Mortlock.
Klamor: Frank Mortlock is putting this match stipulation to excellent use!
Serra: I’d call it cowardice and opportunism personally.
Klamor: More like intellect and sublime psychology.
Eventually, Mortlock releases the magician from his barbaric chokehold, and turns his attention to a recovering Ilapa. Clutching her arm tightly, Mortlock uses her arm as leverage for a rough over-the-shoulder arm drag. With his grasp on Ilapa’s forearm still intact, Mortlock uses this opportunity to throw a combo of boxing hooks at her jaw, before flipping the wounded woman onto her stomach. However, Frank is oblivious to what is occuring behind him before it is too late, as he swivels his body around to find Jimmy Wonder flying at him from the top rope with his legs outstretched. Grasping Mortlock’s throat with his thighs, he hits a picture perfect hurricanrana, flipping Mortlock into the tree of woe position onto the adjacent turnbuckle! The magician follows this up, after rebounding from the opposite turnbuckle with a hanging dropkick onto Mortlock, using Ilapa as a springboard for some extra air! As the injured upholder of the law slithers from his position, Wonder sprints at Ilapa and punishes her with a swift running bulldog! With both opponents down and the audience already voicing their approval for Jimmy, Wonder goes for the early pinfall.
ONE…
Ilapa kicks out at one!
Serra: Jimmy Wonder is on fire! And it certainly seems the former Las Vegas magician is igniting our crowd tonight!
Klamor: That’s not a good thing. Playing with fire will result in combustion eventually, like it will with Jimmy and the spectators tonight. Just you watch.
A whimsical smile erupts on Jimmy Wonder’s face as he senses that he is clearly the fan favourite. He doesn’t let them distract him too much, as throws a ruthless running knee to the stomach at the grounded detective, sending him spiraling through the ropes and to the solid floor. As he turns around however, he is struck by a hellacious high knee from Ilapa, incapacitating the high flyer. With Wonder grounded, the goddess perceives that this is the time to wear down her fellow competitor. Locking in a harrowing Fujiwara armbar, she coldly stares at the screaming Wonder, relishing his agony. The submission maneuver remains clinched for a few seconds, before Wonder begins to use every facet of his strength, along with his supporter’s cries to empower him. Gradually, he rises onto his knees from the hold, as a disgruntled look appears on Ilapa’s face. As he eventually reaches his feet to a cacophony of cheers, he uses his body weight to send Ilapa against the rope, and runs to clothesline her over the rope. Ilapa is prepared for this however and using the magician’s momentum and her own might, she catapults him over the top rope with an exploder suplex, straight onto an unprepared Frank Mortlock! From the opposite side of the ring, a sinister smirk from Terrence Howe can be seen as the audience groan in disappointment.
Serra: Whilst I dislike Ilapa personally, I can’t deny that she is a terrifying adversary, especially in the squared circle.
Klamor: Oh come on, show some more support for your fellow female, Rebecca!
The powerful Ilapa briefly surveys the carnage that she has created before sliding under the bottom rope to continue her punishment. As Mortlock bashfully shuffles away from the goddess, Ilapa grabs Wonder and pummels his temple with a fury of terrible right elbows. She then thrusts Wonder over the steel steps with such strength that they balance on their sides. With the magician immobilized, the silent dominatrix turns her attention to the stranded detective, who leans against the other set of steel steps. As Ilapa throws herself at Frank with a running hip attack, the insidious inspector bails out at the last moment, sending Ilapa crashing over the steel steps, as Terrence’s smirk has turned into a look of utter disbelief. As Mortlock clambers to the apron, a furious Ilapa picks herself up, only to meet the detective’s feet as he throws a jaw-fracturing missile dropkick, sending Ilapa right over the security barricade!
Klamor: What an astonishing move!
Serra: Ilapa has been knocked senseless by that devastating missile dropkick!
Setting his sights on Jimmy Wonder, who leans delicately against the other security barricade, Mortlock marches promptly towards him, grabs him by the waist and drops him groin first onto the steel steps for a calamitous atomic drop! After the sound of an abhorrent thud, wails of agony from Jimmy can be heard across the arena as the crowd voices their disapproval for these dirty, deceitful tactics. With Wonder still in his grasp, Frank unleashes another atomic drop, this time on the barricade, as the yells of pain from the magician only draw louder. Frank Mortlock completes his trio of atomic drops with one on his knee, as Jimmy Wonder collapses to the floor. Mortlock allows him no time to recover as he rolls his victim into the ring before entering it himself and pushing his body weight against Jimmy’s shoulders for a cover.
ONE…
TWO…
KICK-OUT!
Klamor: Does Wonder seriously have nothing down there? That would be enough to stop anyone! Let me give you an examp-
Serra: Keep it PG Johnny.
Mortlock is frenzied by this fact, and takes his time scrutinizing Katie Shepard and her refereeing proficiency, attacks her lack of expertise in particular. During this heated exchange, Ilapa had slipped over the barricade and is now preparing to enter the ring. Frank notices her out of the corner of his eye and quickly prepares to deliver Hard Justice to the wounded goddess. Jimmy Wonder has meanwhile recovered from his assault and approaches the pre-occupied detective from behind. Delivering a Russian legsweep to Frank Mortlock, the force of Mortlock’s body slams Ilapa’s skull against the mat for a mortifying Hard Justice! A joyous uproar can be heard from the audience as the thump of Ilapa’s cranium echoes across the arena.
Serra: Surely Wonder has got this match won!
Frantically flipping Ilapa onto her back, Jimmy goes for the victory pin.
ONE…
TWO…
THR-NO! ILAPA JUST KICKS OUT IN TIME!
Klamor: Never count out a goddess!
With both of his opponents lying side-by-side, Jimmy knows that it is his time to discipline his opponents. He first hits Ilapa with a standing elbow drop, followed by a second standing elbow drop to Mortlock. For his third and final elbow drop, he happily spreads his arms and strikes both of his opponents with hard elbow blows to the throat! With both of his opponents comfortably out of commission, he needs to check that the audience is ready for what comes next. Yelling out “RICHMOND, ARE YOU READY?!” he receives a thunderous ovation from his recent supporters as they begin a chant.
JIM-MY WON-DER! JIM-MY WON-DER! JIM-MY WON-DER!
Indulging himself in the audience’s delight, he does not notice Ilapa creeping up from behind.
Klamor: Look out behind you kid!
She pulls the enchanting entertainer from his feet and begins to roll Jimmy Wonder around the ring to disorientate the magician.
Serra: His brain is going to be completely scrambled once she finishes that maneuver.
This continues for a few more seconds, before Ilapa finally applies the rolling cradle!
ONE…
TWO…
BREAK-UP!
Frank Mortlock dives to sever the pinfall attempt with his forearms outstretched, and as Jimmy Wonder rolls away to rediscover what planet he’s on, Mortlock unleashes a hard irish whip on Ilapa, before the upholder of the law charges at her. This proves to be a mistake, as Ilapa flapjacks Frank against the rope, before she rebounds from the far rope and strikes Mortlock with a dropkick of her own for some sweet justice! Realizing that the end is near, she strolls impassively towards her foe, preparing to fasten the malignant Capacocha, but a sudden uppercut from Frank Mortlock sends her flying off her feet! But as the inspector prepares his Garvin Stomp, an aerial Jimmy Wonder strikes him with a flying forearm! As Mortlock collapses into the corner of the ring, Mortlock runs to the far rope and nails an ascending Ilapa with a springboard roundhouse kick!
Serra: Wonder’s comeback is the work of magic!
Klamor: Witchcraft more like!
With the crowd electrified, Jimmy Wonder hops up the top rope and signals to the audience that he’s going to dive. Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves, the magician leaps to initiate Abracadabra!
BUT FRANK MORTLOCK INTERCEPTS HIM WITH AN OBLITERATING POLICE BRUTALITY! Jimmy Wonder soars over the top rope like a ragdoll and crashes into the barricade, unconscious!
Klamor: What an incredible reversal!
A gloating, toothy grin has appeared on Mortlock’s face, with one of his opponents dispatched. Approaching the grounded Ilapa and yelling to her “TIME TO PUT YOU DOWN TOO!”, Mortlock yanks Ilapa up by the hair, preparing to execute the Police Brutality!
Serra: Never, ever pull a girl’s hair Frank, especially if she’s Ilapa!
As Frank prepares to bring Ilapa’s face into his knee, the goddess exerts enough strength to throw him against the ropes. Aiming a kick at his ribs, Ilapa finds her foot trapped in Mortlock’s clutches! Mortlock chuckles momentarily at the trapped Ilapa, but his laughter quickly turns into yelps of torment, as Ilapa wallops him in the temple with a handspring enziguiri! Allowing him no chance of escape, she quickly applies Capacocha with tenacious ferocity! Mortlock briefly struggles, but quickly realizes that there is no getaway from the potent submission hold, and reluctantly taps out to avoid any further damage, as Katie Shepard calls for the bell!
Serra: I told you so!
*Ding, Ding, Ding*
Anderson: Here is your winner, Ilapa!
Ilapa retains her stranglehold on Mortlock despite the match being over, but Terrence Howe quickly intervenes, demanding Ilapa to release him. Ilapa is hesitant at first, but eventually does as he commands.
Klamor: This is the momentum that this omnipotent amazon needs to challenge for the Elite X Championship!
Serra: Nonetheless, some breakout performances from both Jimmy Wonder and Frank Mortlock tonight, but at the end of the day, Ilapa has more experience in that WZCW ring and that’s what ultimately led her to victory.
Ilapa slowly strolls away from the debris she has left behind her, Terrence Howe at her side, as Jimmy Wonder and Frank Mortlock slowly but surely rise to their feet after their arduous war.
