Ascension 28

[Phoenix]

We cut backstage to Showtime and Serafina running through the area and out to the parking lot. They reach their limo which is already fired up and ready to go. They both look around nervously and Showtime opens the door when suddenly Ty's hand reaches out and grabs Showtime by the throat. He walks out of the limo and Show is down on his knees as Ty continues to choke him. He stares him dead in the eyes as he does so. Serafina tries to desperately pull Ty's arm away but he shrugs her off.

Ty: Now it's time for you to understand what you've truly done Showtime.

Showtime is fading fast in Ty's grip when Ty suddenly whirls around and slams Showtime hard into the limo. Ty begins pounding away on Show, and Showtime is busted open. Show drops to the ground and Ty looks down at him with no remorse whatsoever in his eyes. He steps back and readies for a low Consecrated Banishment but Serafina grabs him by the hair and pulls hard. Ty grabs her wrists and shoves her off of him to the ground.

Serafina: Stay away from him you monster! You're nothing more but a thug Ty, and this proves it.


Ty laughs and kneels down, his face mere inches from hers. His eyes begin to glow red as he licks his lips. Serafina cowers in fear and tries to kick him away to no avail.

Ty: I might be a monster or a thug, but a monster will always destroy those that oppose him.

Ty stands and turns towards Showtime who is slowly getting to one knee, his face donning the proverbial crimson mask. Ty grabs him by the hair and looks towards the limo.

Ty: This is but one punishment for your sins David. Thus it is written.

Ty suddenly slams Show head first into the limo's window, shattering it all around them. Showtime is slumped over the opening as Ty stares at the destruction he's caused. He walks away slowly but stops in front of the limo. He raises his hand slowly and Serafina gets up quickly and rushes to Showtime, desperately trying to drag him out of the window.

Serafina: No! Don't do this Ty!

Ty: So it shall come to pass!

Ty yells out as he drops his hand. At that moment Serafina is able to get Showtime out of the limo and the two collapse backwards away. The limo suddenly erupts in flames. The camera turns back towards where Ty was, yet there is no sign of him, other than the Chaos symbol burned into the ground. The camera turns back to Showtime and Serafina. Showtime is out cold and oozing blood with cuts all over his face. Serafina has a horrified look on her face as the flames continue to envelope the limo as Meltdown goes off the air.

*Pryos go off*​

The camera pans around the arena to show the fans in excitement at another episode of Ascension going on the air only to cut off by the sound of "Hero" playing out as a suited Constantine comes out, much to the dismay of this crowd.

Connor: Well Ladies and Gentleman, Ascension has already kicked into gear and I haven't said a word yet!

Cohen: Probably for the best!

Constantine is all smiles as he soaks in the atmosphere, heading down the ramp, mocking the booing fans and teasing some of the children, he climbs into the ring and grabs a microphone, standing proud and tall in the ring with a smirk. He gives a signal for people to listen by holding his ear?

Constantine: Did you hear that? Oh yeah, it's the guy who gets to pick the stipulation for his match against Austin Reynolds at Kingdom Come!

The crowd boos heavily at this reaction.

Now I know many of you were sad that you couldn't see me on Meltdown, I think even the "ratings" went down because I wasn't there. But in case you didn't see, I'm just going to tell you it. My choice for the Pick Your Poison won, and that means I get to decide how I end Austin Reynolds once and for all. Sure, the victory was not through normal means, but I expected Showtime to either win or Ty to get involved, he made the perfect remedy for my situation, the irony of all things!

The crowd continue to boo him.

So while the contract signing isn't until later tonight, I thought, being the trusting person that I am, I will announce to you what match I'm going to face Reynolds in. And that match is...

"Ready to Roll" hits as Ascension General Manager Vance Bateman comes out onto the stage as Constantine looks annoyed but eventually welcomes him.

Ah! Mr. Bateman, glad to see you showing good faith in support of this announcement.

Bateman: Better stop right there Constantine. There is going to be no announcement right now, and you know why? I just came from my office after a visit from your Kingdom Come opponent Austin Reynolds and he presented me with an idea. The situation right now is that Gordito lost because he was disqualified through outside interference right?

Constantine nods his head in agreement.

So he suggested that there is no way people will accept this situation so he proposes a "re-match" tonight!

The crowd cheers as Constantine changes his tone.

That rematch that you hold the advantage right now Constantine, so you will compete in a tag match tonight, against Austin Reynolds and Gordito, if they pin you, Austin wins the stipulation, if they don't, you keep it!

Constantine looks angry at this decision.

However, Showtime Cougar refuses to compete in fear of his security after what happened on Meltdown and I agreed. While there will be a no touch policy between these two, Showtime Cougar will be replaced by a man who fits into this match situation. None other than Baez!

Constantine tries to protest this, stating he hasn't got his wrestling gear.

The decision is final John. So better get ready because your match is happening later on. Good luck!

Bateman heads backstage as Constantine just stares on very displeased at the situation.

Connor: Wow, a surprised match has been made, Constantine will team with Baez to take on Gordito and Reynolds tonight, if Constantine is pinned, Reynolds wins the stipulation pick for Kingdom Come!

Cohen: This isn't fair, Constantine earned the right to pick and he's practically going to have it stolen from him, Baez took a beating from Dave last night, how is this fair?! Answer me that CC!

Connor: Well as said, Constantine still has a chance to keep the pick choice, he just needs to keep his shoulders off the mat for the three count. But that's enough about this, let's get on with some action to get the momentum going on what is going to be a classic edition of Ascension!

 

[Phoenix]

Anderson: The following match is scheduled for one fall!

“What Love is” hits and Sean Cruz comes out from behind the curtain and makes his way toward the ring.

Anderson: Introducing first, from Galveston Island, Texas and weighing in at 236 pounds, Sean Cruz!

Cruz stands in the ring fist pumping along to the beat of his entrance music as it cuts out and “Mr. Baller” begins to play and Mr. Baller enters the arena, basketball in hand.

Anderson: And his opponent, from Miami, Florida and weighing in at 220 pounds, Mr. Baller!

The bell rings to begin the match as Baller takes off his warm-up suit and hands it and his basketball to the ringside attendant. The two men circle and lock up in the center of the ring. Finally, Baller gains control with a side headlock. Cruz backs him into the ropes, however, and shoots him off. Baller rebounds and lands on his feet after an arm drag attempt by Cruz. Cruz runs off the ropes himself and is also able to land on his feet off an arm drag attempt. The two men stand and stare at each other until Cruz runs the ropes once more, ducks a clothesline attempt by Baller and hits a spinning wheel kick to the chin of Baller. Cruz follows up with a knee drop to the skull of Baller before going into the pin, 1…2. and Baller kicks out. Cruz waits for Baller to get back to his feet and takes him back down with a Russian legsweep. This gives Cruz time to climb to the top rope and wait for Baller to get up once more. Once he does, Cruz comes off the top with a dropkick. He goes in for another cover, 1…2.. Baller gets the shoulder up.

Connor: The youngster Sean Cruz seems to have taken the advantage in this battle of two of the most agile men on the roster.

Cohen: Baller is just biding his time, CC. He’ll come through in the clutch like he always does.

Cruz picks up Baller and sets for a DDT. He spins out of it, however, and this time successfully connects with an arm drag. Cruz pops back up, but turns around into a hurricanrana from Baller. He gets up once more, albeit more slowly this time, and Baller scores with a dropsault. Cruz stays down this time, and is hit with a standing moonsault from Baller. He stays on Cruz for the pin, 1…2.. Cruz kicks out. Baller pulls Cruz into position and goes for the Buzzerbeater, but Cruz rolls out of the way at the last moment, causing Baller to crash chest and stomach first on the mat. Cruz is back to his feet first, waits for Baller, and connects with a springboard crossbody. Baller is able to roll through, however, and has Cruz’s shoulders down, 1…2… Cruz escapes just before the ref counts to three. Both men roll back to their feet, and as they make it, Cruz goes for the superkick. Baller catches his leg, however, takes Cruz down, and locks in the Gamechanger. Cruz fights for a few moments, but is forced to tap.

Anderson: The winner of the match, Mr. Baller!

Baller poses in the ring after getting his hand raised as Cruz rolls out and is helped to the back.

---------------------
We cut backstage to the outside of Showtime's locker room which has security guarding it. Up steps Leon Kensworth who tries to negotiate with the guards, eventually, they check behind the door and he is allowed inside as Showtime and Serafina are in discussion before they acknowledge the interviewer.

Showtime: Leon, pardon the security, but after the threats of what happened last night, they are necessary thing. Ty Burna will pay the price for what happened, I just want Kingdom Come to roll by so I can end what is deemed violence beyond reasoning!

Kensworth: Showtime, Serafina. Do you think you're going to adhere to the ruling by Vance Bateman of a "no contact" policy between you and...

Showtime: Hold it right there, Leon, I'm offended, you think that I'm the one who's going to break that policy? Did you even see Meltdown last night? Were you even there?! Ty Burna is losing the plot because I managed to right his wrongs of late and he knows the title is under threat, in fact I'll bag that...

The lights start to flicker which gets Showtime and Serafina tensed up.

As I was saying Leon, you were making your exit.

Kensworth: I was?

Showtime: If you please!

Leon is immediately escorted out as a couple more security guards enter the locker room which leaves Leon bemused.

 

[Phoenix]

"Unstoppable" hits to a pop from the crowd as Ferbian makes his way out, he looks pumped and ready for action as he makes his way down the ramp.

Anderson: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first...

Suddenly Steven Holmes runs in from behind and attacks the Dane from behind, ramming him into the barrier and slamming his head hard against it. He then goes to the ring and grabs a chair from underneath and then swings hard at Ferbian, knocking his lights out. Holmes then drops the chair and drags the lifeless Ferbian up and pushes him into the ring. He shouts at the ref to start the match, he reluctantly does so and Holmes goes for the cover, 1........2.......Ferbian gets an arm up and Holmes doesn't believe it as the busted Ferbian tries to pull himself up but without much luck. Holmes stands tall and pulls him straight up and hits the Imperial Impaler and goes for another cover, 1......2......3. He gets onto his knees and celebrates to himself as the crowd boos him heavily.

Anderson: ...Here is your winner, Steven Holmes!

Connor: I can't believe Holmes would stoop that low!

Cohen: Well Holmes said he wanted to prove a point to his Crashin Movement team mates that he could handle things and he did, perfect strategy for getting the victory here!

Holmes begins to celebrate the victory to his theme song of Beethoven's 5th but it's interrupted by "We Are One" as the Tag Team Champions make their way out at a pace and stand in the ring opposite him. Holmes tries to reason with the two as Hammond checks on Ferbian and Toyota has a fired up look in his eyes as he goes charging for Holmes who rolls out of the ring. He looks to head out of the crowd for an escape route but as he climbs over the barricade, a random fan punches him in the face and he falls back inside. The fan removes his hat to reveal it's Dr. Alhazred with his infamous power glove, with James King sitting next to him, they both climb over and stand over him as Toyota stands in front of them as well, almost challenging them somewhat.

Bateman: Stop it, stop that right now!

All four of the conscious men look towards Bateman who's on the stage.

Let's not spoil things for Kingdom Come. Guys, I know you want to get your hands on the Crashin Movement as much as you can, but we need a fit roster and it's not fair you and your other opponents handicap up against Holmes when he has no backup.

One part of the line catches all of them off guard as they look confused.

Oh, didn't you know? King and Alhazred have been officially entered into the title match at Kingdom Come following their victory last night. The match will now be a Triple Threat, with the six of you going at it!

Alhazred and King acknowledge the news with a positive reaction, Hammond and Toyota not as much but accept it. They look at their opponents stating they'll see them at Kingdom Come as Hammond attends to helping Ferbian to the back with the EMTs.

Connor: Kingdom Come continues to build like no other Jack. Now we have the Tag Titles seeing new challengers with Alhazred and King added to the mix. What more can we expect from this?

Cohen: Absolute silence if Alhazred is anything to go by!

Connor: Really Jack? That's rather tasteless of you!

Cohen: You're one to talk! By the way, is anyone going to attend to Holmes?!

-----------------
Backstage, Hunter Kravinoff and Barbosa are heading through the backstage area, ready to compete in their upcoming match, they stop for a second as an individual stands in front of them that being Big Dave who looks unimpressed at them.

Dave: Very impressive, I'm surprised you were able to pull it off!

Kravinoff: Torrents, I get all my good viewings from them!

Dave smirks looking down before staring back at Kravinoff and Barbosa.

Dave: You know what, you're funny! But when that Chamber lowers down at Kingdom Come, the comedy is going to end for you. Just the both of you give me more reason for me to shorten your careers come then.

Kravinoff: Dave, you were fortunate to defeat Baez last night and you couldn't even beat me in singles competition, what chance do you have? Maybe I should set you up with Freud, clear your mind!

Barbosa: Or open it up like mine.

Kravinoff: But now, we're all business as we're going to give the guy you "retired" a welcome back party. Maybe you should watch and learn from us, you might actually stand a chance at Kingdom Come, let alone a World Title shot!

Barbosa and Kravinoff walk on as Dave stares on, restraining himself from being provoked.

Hunter Kravinoff and Barbosa head out together, discussing tactics with each other as they ignore the boos of the crowd.

Anderson: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, at a combined weight of 482, the team of Barbosa and Hunter Kravinoff!

Connor: Barbosa and Kravinoff sharing a rare alliance as they team up tonight, do we expect this alliance to last long by the time Kingdom Come rolls by?

Cohen: For the sake of the other competitors, let's hope not, but only one of them can win!

Hunter and Barbosa head down the ramp and roll in as Kravinoff continues to give a pep talk with his team mate, trying to get him fired up for the challenge again.

[YOUTUBE]xzWXoP3lj1w[/YOUTUBE]​

The crowd cheer as the former World Champion heads out onto the stage, raising his arms to the crowd, he heads down the ramp but stops halfway as Barbosa wants to head straight for him, but keeps himself restraint.

Anderson: Their opponents, first from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 205 pounds, Everest!

Connor: Everest looks ready to get into action, but I think we all know what's on our minds right now!

Cohen: Even though I don't normally share the same thoughts with you CC, I feel it too!

His music fades out as the crowd start to chant "Titus! Titus!" which has Everest smirking and standing ready while keeping an eye on his opponents.

[YOUTUBE]6-BVR557V_0[/YOUTUBE]​

The crowd erupts like no other as the sounds of the familiar theme song play as out through the curtains bursts out Titus and the crowd continue to roar on in support as he gets them fired up from one side of the stage to the other. He heads down the ramp and high fives Everest before they continue on down the ramp.

Anderson: His partner, from Keystone City, Kansas, weighing in at 215 pounds, TITUS!

Titus acknowledges and high fives some of the kids in the crowd as does Everest before rolling into the ring and posing on the turnbuckles to the fired up crowd. They climb down and look ready for action, Everest is elected to start the match for their side with Kravinoff on the other, both sides look ready as the referee signals for the bell. Everest and Kravinoff start off circling each other. Everest reaches out to grip him but the hunter dives in and grabs a waistlock. Everest fights it but Kravinoff drags him to the floor. Everest fights out the waistlock, hooks an arm and turns it into a hammerlock. Kravinoff grabs him by the neck and drops him with a jawbreaker variation! Everest gets back up immediately but is met with a clothesline from Kravinoff and then a scoop slam put him flat on his back!

Kravinoff tags in Barbosa who appears delighted to get in the ring with Everest. The Pinnacle of Perfection seems a little shaken having been dominated by Kravinoff and is certainly hesitant to tangle with the master of the Bipolar Disorder. Titus on the other hand is desperate to tag in and Everest obliges. Titus immediately challenges Barbosa and they tie up. Titus takes him down with an arm drag and then holds it with a standing armbar. He then brings him up and whips him off the ropes. Barbosa ducks an attempted clothesline and comes back with a kitchen sink-type strike that collides with Titus’s chest. He picks up Titus and drops him with an inverted atomic drop and then floors him with an STO. Barbosa covers and hooks the leg, 1...2...Titus kicks out.

Connor: Titus looks like he hasn't lost his ways around the mat, but Barbosa is giving him a challenge.

Cohen: Expect the youth to work in his favour here!

Barbosa grabs Titus in a front facelock and starts hitting him in the face with knees! Titus gets to the ropes but Barbosa refuses to let go. Everest is going mad on the apron as the referee tries to intervene. Barbosa only breaks it up on the brink of a five count. Titus rolls out of the ring to regain his composure. Barbosa tries to reach out to grab Everest but he drops down to the apron. Behind him, Kravinoff turns around the corner of the ring and hits a huge diving knee off the apron, which floors Titus. Kravinoff mercilessly picks him up again and drops him on his neck with a piledriver on the ringside floor! Having done his damage and left Titus devastated on the floor, he calmly walks away. Everest is apoplectic as the referee has been distracted by the curious antics of Barbosa in the ring.

Barbosa gets out of the ring and stomps away on Titus, but Everest runs around and tackles the psychotic one. Enraged, he whips him into the steel steps and then floors him with a short arm clothesline. He then becomes a cheerleader for Titus on the apron. Kravinoff barks at Barbosa to do the same. The referee, finally satisfied that Kravinoff and Everest are where they are supposed to be, begins to count.1....2....3....4....5....6 and both men are on the apron and crawling through the ropes. As they get in the ring they exchange punches and Titus gets the advantage. He whips Barbosa to the corner hard and as he stumbles out, he takes him down with a spinning heel kick! He then grabs him in a side headlock and drops him with his trademark springboard bulldog! Titus signals for the Tit Drop but as he does, Barbosa sidesteps him, grabs his arms and wraps it around his throat before dropping Titus with the Split Personality! Barbosa covers Titus, 1....2....Titus kicks out. Both men stay down after this sustained assault and they move towards their respective partners and they tag in simultaneously!

Connor: They both make the tag, the freshness of their partners kick things up a gear!

Kravinoff meets Everest with stiff forearms shots but the most experienced member of the roster fights back and buries a knee in Kravinoff’s gut! He goes to hit a fisherman’s suplex but Kravinoff fights him off and drops him with a kick to the head. Kravinoff locks in a full nelson and then drops him with a dragon suplex! Cover! 1....2....Everest kicks out.

Kravinoff is up first and looks to hit the Double Underhook DDT but Everest back bodydrops out of it. Kravinoff lands on his back and as he turns around, Everest hits a float over DDT! Cover, 1....2.....Barbosa breaks the count! Titus comes in to tackle him and clotheslines him over the top rope but Barbosa lands on his feet on the floor. As Titus turns around to try and hit the Tit Drop on a reeling Kravinoff, Barbosa grabs his legs and pulls Titus through the ropes. He then hits an overhead suplex to Titus on the floor as Kravinoff and Everest exchange blows in the ring. Without taking the time to look at his damage, Barbosa rolls in the ring, grabs Everest and hits the Doppelganger! Kravinoff is bemused but acknowledges the damage his partner has caused. He covers the devastated Everest! 1......2.......3!!!! Kravinoff and Barbosa have done it!

Anderson: Here are your winners, Barbosa and Hunter Kravinoff!

The crowd boos heavily as both men celebrate and leave the ring with smiles, both feeling proud of themselves as Titus climbs back into the ring.

Connor: Things were going well for Titus and Everest, but Barbosa really used his wit to help get the victory here.

Cohen: Welcome back Titus, welcome to the new generation of WZCW!

Titus pulls Everest up, who is apologetic to him for what happened but both men show understanding and raise their arms to the joy of the crowd, they head out the ring and try not to feel deflated about what just happened.

Connor: This just shows how much these men respect each other, however, I expect them to have a great match between them by the time Kingdom Come rolls by.

Cohen: I don't expect them to be all friendly after this match, something has me suspecting there's a hidden agenda here...

-------------------------

“First Class” Johnny Sherman is walking backstage, hyping himself up for his match against Action Saxton. He bumps into Becky Serra.

“Hey Johnny, so are you ready for Action Saxton?”

“Course I am. I’m First Class Johnny Sherman baby. I’m sending him back to the streets on Economy Class.”

A dark finger pokes Johnny on the shoulder. The Aussie turns and is met with a huge Black Lightning kick right to the face. Sherman is left floored and unconscious.

Saxton walks around his prone body and looks at Becky. He then looks back down at Sherman and shakes his head.

“I do not like flying Economy.”

Saxton walks off, with a swagger in his step, leaving Becky confused in his wake.

"I guess Action Saxton wins..."

Anderson: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

​

Austin Reynolds emerges, playing to the loving crowd. He makes his way down to the ring, looking focused.

Anderson: Introducing first, weighing in at 190 pounds, Austin Reynolds!

Connor: You know Reynolds will have been looking forward to this match since it was made earlier tonight!

Cohen: No one looks forward to facing Constantine and Baez, Seabass!

He gets into the ring and taunts for the crowd. End on 9 comes on and the crowd give another pop. Gordito goes to either side of the stage, taunting for the cheering crowd before making his way down to the ring.

Gordito slides into the ring, gives Reynolds a quick pat on the back before going up onto the turnbuckle. He taunts for the crowd before jumping off and talking strategy with his friend.

Connor: Gordito had a long night last night, facing against Showtime, which is a tough challenge in itself, before Baez got himself involved.

Hero hits and Constantine emerges onto the stage. He raises his arms, then points at Reynolds and smirks, while Reynolds’ expression is one of utter hatred.

Anderson: And their opponents, first, weighing in a 265 pounds, Constantine!

Constantine walks to the bottom of the ramp and waits for his tag partner. Goodbye hits and Baez walks out, looking out into the crowd, who boo him viciously before walking down the ramp.

Anderson: And his partner, weighing in at 225 pounds, Baez!

He exchanges a few words with Constantine before they get up on the ring apron. Both teams discuss who starts and it’s Constantine starting out against Gordito. The referee calls for the bell and the two men circle each other. Constantine turns to Reynolds and talks some trash. He turns back around and Gordito hits him with right hands.

Constantine floats over into the cover, 1... 2... Gordito kicks out. Constantine gets up and flips off Reynolds before shouting “You want to tag in? You want a piece of me?” Reynolds looks furious on the apron, but he cheers on his tag partner. Constantine picks up Gordito and backs him into the corner, unleashing a series of hard chops to the chest. He then backs up and soaks in the boos from the crowd before nailing Gordito with a Lariat in the corner. Gordito stumbles forward and falls to the mat. Constantine leans back against the ropes before walking forward and going for a knee drop, but Gordito moves out of the way. Constantine sits up on the mat, clutching his knee. Gordito gets up to his hands and knees and tries to reach out to Reynolds, but Constantine quickly gets up and kicks Gordito in the head before tagging in Baez, who quickly drags Gordito away from his corner and locks in a Sleeperhold.

Connor: Constantine and Baez are doing well to isolate Gordito, but how long can they keep it up?

Cohen: As long as they want!

Gordito tries to gets out of the Sleeperhold, delivering a few elbows to Baez’s gut. Baez lets go, but grabs Gordito, going for the Uranage Backbreaker, but Gordito elbows him in the head and hits a quick Samoan Drop out of nowhere! Gordito finds a burst of energy and tags in Reynolds and the crowd explode! Reynolds gets into the ring and clotheslines Baez down before hitting Constantine with a right hand, knocking him off the apron.

Connor: What a move by Gordito and Reynolds!

Cohen: Meh, I’ve seen better...

Gordito gets up and he signals for the end, wanting to finish off Constantine with the Meteor of War. He hooks Constantine’s arms, but Baez comes in and distracts the referee. Gordito lets Constantine go and grabs Baez to throw him out but Constantine hits him with a low blow behind the referee’s back! Baez gets out of the ring and Reynolds gets off the apron and Baez backs away. In the ring, Constantine goes for a pin on Gordito, who is still feeling the effects of the low blow, 1.... 2....

Connor: Whatever Cohen, Gordito was just trying to stop Constantine from breaking up yet another pin!

Reynolds and Gordito hug inside the ring as Constantine pulls Baez out of the ring and helps him to his feet. Reynolds and Gordito get up onto the second rope and pose for the crowd. Behind them, Constantine and Reynolds slide back into the ring. Gordito and Reynolds get off the ring and they’re attacked from behind by their respective rivals! Baez knocks Gordito out of the ring and Irish Whips him into the ring steps! Constantine hits the Axis of Evil on Reynolds. He rolls out of the ring and grabs the contract from ringside, a pen and a mic. He gets back into the ring as he stands over Reynolds

Constantine: ...Now...now that's been...dealt with....Austin...I can finally reveal your fate. You...and me will face in....a Three Stages of Hell match...the first fall...will be about pride and...in my...ball park...standard rules...then, it will be...a street fight...and if you somehow pull this off and make it...to the final fall...I will make you feel beat like no other...in a Las...no, that would be too easy...I want you to suffer...and make you know that you were truly beaten...by making you say...I QUIT! Austin...get ready because the Ratings Spike...gets pulled!

He slams the mic down before signing the contract, which he drops on Reynolds’ chest. Constantine leans forward and lightly slaps the face of Reynolds in a condescending way before rolling out of the ring and heading up the ramp with Baez.

--------------------------
We cut backstage to a split shot of Michael Winters and Brad Bomb backstage, Winters is saying a prayer while Bomb looks fired up and ready for action.

Connor: Well Ladies and Gentleman, the question of who will be the next Elite X Champion will soon be answered as the Best of Three series will commence after this break. Who will take the first and vital victory out of Winters and Bomb? Find out next!

 

[Phoenix]

Anderson: The following contest is the first match in the Best of Three series for the vacant Elite X Championship!

Becoming the Bull hits and the crowd pop for Bomb, who comes out grinning. He pulls down his hood and motions to his waist before making his way down to the ring.

Anderson: Introducing first, weighing in at 261 pounds, Brad Bomb!

Bomb slides into the ring and takes off the hoodie, tossing it into the ring before he turns to the entrance ramp, awaiting his opponent. Invisible Wounds hits and the crowd pop again for Michael Winters. He blesses himself and looks up to the sky before walking down to the ring.

Connor: Bomb has been standing out lately, with strong performances against the EurAsian champ two weeks in a row. He was given this chance at the Elite X title because he was fuming about getting attacked by Blade!

Cohen: If you ask me, he's lucky he's not facing Blade!

Anderson: And his opponent, weighing in at 267 pounds, Michael Winters!

Winters is in the ring now and the referee calls for the bell. The two men touch fists as a sign of respect and the lock up in the centre of the ring, Winters gets the headlock on Bomb, and takes him over onto the mat. Bomb uses his strength to get back to his feet before pushing off Winters into the ropes. Winters returns off the ropes and gets hit with a clothesline. Winters backs himself into the corner and shakes the cobwebs from his head as Bomb grins again. Winters gets up and the two men start circling each other. Winters manages to get behind Bomb and takes him down to the mat before getting back up and backing off. Bomb gets up and nods as the crowd cheer the two men on. They go to lock up again, but Winters kicks Bomb in the gut and hits a quick neckbreaker. Winters gets up and starts stomping on Bomb.

Connor: These two men matches each other move for move here.

Cohen: They need some kind of edge... I’m bored. Again.

Bomb gets up and hits a standing Leg Drop before going for another quick pin, 1... 2... Winters kicks out. Bomb picks up his opponent and picks him up for a Suplex, and delays it, letting the blood rush to Winters’ head before falling to the mat. Bomb goes for yet another quick pin, 1... 2... Winters kicks out again! Bomb picks up Winters and backs himself into the corner and puts his boot into Winters’ throat. The referee counts to five, and Bomb puts his foot down and back off for a moment. He runs, going for a clothesline, but Winters rolls out of the way and Bomb collides with the turnbuckles and stumbles backwards. Winters lifts up Bomb and hits an Inverted Fireman’s Carry Slam! Winters can’t capitalise, still recovering from the earlier onslaught. He gets to his feet and leans back against the ropes as Bomb gets to his feet. Winters runs at Bomb, but Bomb counters and lifts Winters up for a Sidewalk Slam, but Winters reverses it and knees Bomb in the head. Bomb drops Winters, who lands on his feet and hits a quick DDT on Bomb. Winters goes for a pin, 1... 2... Kick out by Bomb!

Connor: Winters needs to use his athleticism to keep Bomb off balance!

The referee doesn’t notice and counts the pin, 1... 2.... 3!

Anderson: Here is you winner, Michael Winters!

Winters quickly gets up and shakes his head and tries to talk to the referee. Winters points to his foot and taps the middle rope with his foot, but the referee shrugs and shakes his head.

Connor: Winters is trying to explain that his foot was on the rope by accident, during the pin but the referee is sticking by his decision cause he didn’t see it!

Cohen: Winters shouldn’t say it was accidental, I actually found him interesting for a second when I thought it was intentional...

Winters helps Bomb up, and explains what happens. Bomb nods and gives a small smile despite his disappointment. The two men shake hand and the crowd give them some loud applause.

Connor: Suffice to say, the second round of this series will be interesting! Don't miss it on the next Ascension!

-----------------------
Backstage, we're outside Ty Burna's locker room, the lights start flickering before going red with such intensity as the door immediately slams open and the Chaos symbol glows from within. The light bulbs then explode to create darkness.

Connor: Ladies and Gentleman....our main event...is next!

 

[Phoenix]

Anderson: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

Blackened the Sun hits to a huge pop from the crowd as the champion emerges, his title over his shoulder. His face looks like stone as he makes his way down to the ring amid the flashing lights.

Anderson: Introducing first, weighing in at 235 pounds, he is the WZCW World Heavyweight Champion, Ty Burna!

Connor: It’s strange, he almost seems... Calm tonight.

Cohen: He should be in prison after what happened on Meltdown!

He gets into the ring and hands the title to the referee, his face still expressionless. Far From Over hits and Jordan Lights comes out onto the stage. He pulls down his hood and goes down to the ring.

Anderson: And his opponent, weighing in at 255 pounds, Jordan Lights!

Lights gets into the ring and the referee calls for the bell. Lights tells Ty to bring it and Ty instantly hits him with the Consecrated Banishment! Lights crumbles to the ground and Ty’s expression has changed, he now has a fury in his eyes.

Connor: Looks like Ty hasn’t quite got all his anger out.

Cohen: First Showtime, now Lights? Lock that man up!!

Ty stands over Lights, who hasn’t moved for several moments. Ty picks him up and hits another Consecrated Banishment before going for a lazy cover on Lights, 1... 2....3.

Anderson: Here is your winner, the WZCW world heavyweight champion, Ty Burna...

The referee hands Ty the title, and Ty rips it out of his hands and, after staring at the unconscious Lights for a few moments, slowly raises his title in the air before the cheering crowd.

???: Well done Ty, I'm impressed, with all your fancy fire works and near homicidal acts, I am truly impressed!

The crowd boos heavily as Showtime Cougar comes out, accompanied by Serafina and a large security force.

Showtime: You know, there's a place for someone like you, jail! Now I know I can't touch you, but I have every right to sue you for what you got, destruction of property, grievous bodily harm, assault, hell throw in rape with all the mind controlling against Serafina's will.

The crowd boos heavily and tries to mock Serafina

See, even these people are being manipulated, I'm sure there's something in Section 53 about possession with crowds of people, puppies and motor vehicles. So as a law abiding citizen, security, I instruct you to arrest that man and send him to jail!

The security team head forward as Ty smirks at the situation before the lights go out.

Cohen: Help! Security, I'm being possessed through the art of light switching!

Showtime: Very clever Ty! Just remember you can't touch me and...

The lights come back on to reveal the whole security group have been completely knocked out with the ring smoking from the effects of the Chaos symbol being freshly burnt into the canvas. Serafina clutches Showtime tightly as he too looks around in a tense fashion and can't see Ty anywhere. The crowd then roars and points, which grabs the attention of the couple as they look up to find Ty on top of the titantron, his hands are spread apart as he looks straight ahead with a demonic stare.

Ty: Hell hath no fury as a devil scorned! You have stolen all that has been proclaimed by those of the Ouija, except for one, that which matters most to the Ouija. Alas, the Ouija shall steal from you the one thing that no-one else shall steal for it is not an object of desire or is in a state of a solid form. Showtime, everything about you will be undone for at Kingdom Come, the flames of my rage will ensnare you like the animal that you are. When the bell toll strikes three, your body will be an empty channel for the Ouija will claim you as one of their own, there is no escape.

Ty deeply inhales and stares intensely at them.

THUS IT IS WRITTEN

SO IT SHALL COME TO PASS!

He extends his hands as flames spew out of the sides of the stage and the arena turns red as Ty fire-brewing eyes continue to stare intensely at Showtime and Serafina as Ascension fades out.
