Selena Anderson glances around the arena, observing it for a few moments before inhaling a deep breath, readying herself for the big time main event.
Anderson: Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for; THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!
The crowd voices its approval with huge cheers. These continue for a few moments, eventually quieting down. The volume level is raised again as the lights go out and the boos begin. The music of chaos only brings more hatred.

A mist fills the arena as the challenger for the grandest prize of all makes his way onto the stage. Flames erupt beside a hooded Ty Burna as he walks down the aisle. Burna removes the hood to reveal his eyes glowing bright red. The darkness lifts...for the moment. He enters the ring, prepared for action, motionless as his theme disappears. The boos still thunderous, his face is expressionless as we await the arrival of the champion.

The reaction of the fans is, naturally, a slightly confused one. This is not Always by Saliva and the fans cheer with an element of caution, unsure if this is their hero. Big Dave emerges to collective cheer, a big grin on his face. The heavyweight championship shines proudly around his waist as Dave looks to the crowd and nods, approving of the reaction. Dave unbuckles the belt and holds it up high, taunting the man who had held it for so long. Ty remains emotionless. After a brief walk down the aisle, Dave paces in front of the ring, jumping to the apron and entering the ring. He continues to taunt Ty with his grin as he goes to the turnbuckle and holds the championship up high. Once more, he moves to the centre of the ring, taunting his nemesis. The referee steps in to take the championship and also disarm any potential mayhem. The referee holds the championship up for all to see. Both participants stare at it for a moment. The bell rings and Selena begins the introductions.
Anderson: Introducing first, the challenger...
Without even hearing his name, the fans know that Selena is referring to Ty, and they let him know, booing him for the evil he has committed in the past, and the evil that may come.
Anderson: ... weighing 235 pounds; TY BURNA!
Burna holds an arm up high in recognition of his own name. In response, the crowd continues giving him a frosty reception.
Anderson: And the opponent...
Once more the fans interrupt Selena, this time with rapturous cheers.
Anderson: ...from London England, weighing 268 pounds; BIG DAVE!
The bell rings again and we’re officially underway.
Connor: And here we go.
Cohen: Indeed. This should be a great match...though it’s unfortunate we already know the outcome will be a new champion.
Dave and Ty circle one-another, sizing up the competition. The two lock up in the centre of the ring. They push with almost equal force, though it is Big Dave who forces Ty Burna into the corner. Dave swiftly nails Ty in the skull with a stiff elbow. He repeats not once, but twice before allowing Ty out of the corner. He bounces of the ropes and looks to nail a spear, but Ty sees it coming, and counters with a knee. Next comes a kick to the back of Dave’s neck and then a straightjacket stranglehold. Though dazed, Dave is wary of his position, and manages to pull Ty over the top of him, releasing the hold. Both men get to their feet, though it is Ty who takes the advantage, grabbing his foes arms and locking them up for double underhook backbreaker. Dave breaks the lock though and counters with a northern lights suplex into a bridge. 1...2...KICK-OUT! Again, both men rise at the same time, though it’s Dave who attacks first this time. He chooses a big boot as his method of offence and sends Burna crumbling down. 1... KICK-OUT! Ty is quick to try and rise, though Dave keeps him grounded with a couple of kicks; one to the back of the knee and one to the chest, sending Ty down. The champion bounces off of the ropes and drops a leg over Ty’s neck. 1...2...KICK-OUT!
Cohen: I have to hand it to Dave, he’s certainly aggressive enough to combat Ty.
Connor: You’re being awfully nice about Dave, Jack.
Cohen: All in the interest of fairness my dear. I mean, Ty’s sending him back into the pit of obscurity after tonight.
Whilst our hosts have been chatting, Dave has managed to drag Ty to his feet. He whips Burna into the corner and looks to maintain his advantage. Ty however manages to blast Dave in the gut, derailing the momentum. Burna follows up with a quick spinebuster, taking both men down. There is a brief pause before Ty manages to get into the cover. 1...2...KICK-OUT! Ty unleashes a few stiff punches directly to Dave’s cranium, creating a small cut on the top of his head. He pulls Dave to his feet and lifts him up in one swift move, dropping him down with a brainbuster. He finishes the move with a cover. 1...2...KICK-OUT! Once more, Ty blasts Dave with fists, deepening the already open wound. With a slight bit of blood dribbling out, Burna grins with sinister intent and proceeds to clobber the Londoner relentlessly. The referee tries to step in. A count of four is reached before Ty stops his assault. It isn’t long before he’s on the hunt once more however and he again proceeds to pound Dave and force the cut open further. Another break at four from Ty sees him get a talking to from the ref, but it matters not. The damage is done. Dave is now bleeding at a substantial rate. The former Full House Dave rises to a knee, but Burna sends him clattering back to the mat with a stern boot. Ty smirks once again, knowing he has the advantage.
Connor: It looks like Ty Burna has the advantage, at least for the time being.
Cohen: It’s as I said, once we enter the closing stages, which is probably where we are already, Dave’s name shall return to realms insignificance. Only a matter of minutes now CC.
Mo’ Murda is the first move we see as we return our focus to the in-ring action and Ty Burna makes a cover. 1...2...KICK-OUT! Ty seems unconcerned by this however, mainly due to his own arrogance. He saunters to his feet, pushing Dave back to the bloody ring mat with his foot. Ty is no fool though and makes sure to inflict some punishment, stomping on Dave’s head viciously. As the bloodied champion clutches his face in pain, the challenger drags him back up for a Russian leg sweep. 1...2...KICK-OUT! Ty strokes his chin for a few moments, weighing up his options. He chooses to pull Dave to his feet. But, much to the surprise of Ty and everyone else in the arena, Dave is far from done and in fact lifts the stunned Ty onto his shoulders, before driving Burna right into the mat with the finishing move known as the Stamp of Authority!
Connor: What a counter from the champion! It may be all over now!
Cohen: D-don’t be foolish CC. Ty will kick-out. I still believe in him.
With the crowd firmly behind him, Dave turns over and on top of his opponent and into a cover. 1...2...KICK-OUT! The crowd can’t believe it as Ty kicks out with some gusto.
Cohen: Ha! Looks like Dave’s done for after all. His finisher couldn’t keep Ty down. It’s all over for sure.
Dave raises his head. Blood drips from it as he looks at the referee who signals that it was only two. Dave’s head drops out of frustration, but he pulls himself up with Ty also stirring. He’s on his own feet for the first time since he was bloodied and has to steady himself at first. Ty is now also to his feet, though the affects of the Stamp of Authority have rendered him groggy to say the least. Dave smacks him hard around the chops, snapping him back to reality. Ty retorts with a fist of his own and the pair trade a few punches. The crowd reacts with a “yea” for Dave and a “nay” for Ty so it’s obvious that the reaction is very much positive as Dave manages to gain a slight advantage through a flurry of strikes. Using both his hands and legs, he sends Ty into the ropes. It doesn’t get any better for the 235 pounder as he is whipped across the ring, only to bounce back and take a powerslam. 1...2...KICK-OUT! Dave is starting to get a sense of momentum now and the crowd feeds his adrenaline with its support. Dave is to his feet and he decides it’s time to let Ty endure a bit more suffering. He hooks the emissary of chaos’ legs and then, grabs the arms, lifting him off the mat into a pendulum swing submission! There appears to be no way for Burna to escape as he screams in agony.
Cohen: This can’t be. Come on Ty, submit now and your vision for WZCW is setback.
Connor: Wait, what’s this?
Fortuitously for the ex-champion, Burna’s Apostles of Chaos make their way to ringside. Both the referee and Dave become distracted by the duo and the British champion relinquishes hold of his submission. The referee begins to argue with the pair and Dave too looks to get involved with the heated “discussion”. This does exactly as it is intended too though and allows Ty Burna not only a chance to recover, but an opportunity to set up for his dreaded finishing move; Concentrated Banishment! The referee screams at the malevolent pair and sends them to the back. Both he and Dave turn around to resume the match, but it could be all over as Burna nails his finisher!
Cohen: THAT’S IT!
Connor: You may well be right.
1...2...KICK-OUT! The arena lets out a surge of delight as Dave gets his shoulder up mere moments before the referee can slap the mat for three. Ty begins to breathe very heavily out of anger and lets out a small scream before turning his attentions to the referee. The official tells him it was only two, but Ty insists otherwise. The referee once more shows Ty the two sign. This only serves to provoke Burna further and he stands over the referee, casting a shadow over him.
Connor: I’m not sure how wise this is on Ty’s behalf.
Cohen: And I’m not sure this is wise on the referee’s part.
The referee warns Ty concerning a potential disqualification. This seems to drag Ty’s attention back to the still bloody Dave who is only just now starting to get back to his feet. He sets up for another Concentrated Banishment, pulls back, pumps his legs, but gets caught off guard again! Once more Dave has him up on his shoulders, and once more he’s quick to swing him around. This time however, Ty is expecting it, and counters, landing on his feet and delivering a reverse STO. He hooks the leg. 1...2...KICK-OUT! Ty shakes his head with disbelief. The anger on Ty’s face however begins to morph itself into a familiar, sinister grin as he realises that he has one more trick left up his sleeve; The Final Séance! He puts Dave into position for the submission and looks to choke him. Dave seems to realise what’s going on and desperately tries to fight his way out of this predicament. He uses all the power available to him to lift Ty up in a powerbomb position, but the triangle choke has drained significant amounts of energy from Dave, making his knees buckle, and returning both men to the mat below. Dave’s face turns a scarlet colour, matching the blood that continues to weep from the earlier cut. The referee gets into position and drops the hand once. He repeats and the hand drops down once more.
Cohen: YES! Succumb to the pressure of darkness Dave!
The hand goes up and the referee lets go. This time however, Dave manages to keep the hand from reaching the mat. His will is not yet broken and with the crowd in his corner, Dave begins to recover. He’s still in real danger though and he recognises this, planning his escape already by once more lifting Ty up. Burna is also defiant and manages to keep his legs wrapped around the throat of Dave, causing him to tumble into the top turnbuckle. Ty sticks a fist in Dave’s face and takes his legs away from Dave, allowing the latter to back off. This is perfect for Ty as he’s preparing for a Super Concentrated Banishment. He launches himself at the prone Dave, but the champion grabs Ty in midair. He throws him up on his shoulders, twists him and drops him down dead with the Stamp of Authority. He collapses into a cover, hooking a leg in the process. 1...2...3! Dave remains the champion and the crowd goes wild
Cohen: Damn it all!
Anderson: Here is your winner, and STILL WZCW World Heavyweight Champion; BIG DAVE!
Connor: Big Dave has done it! He has withstood all Ty Burna has to offer and then some.
Dave is on his knees and is panting, the blood still damp on his forehead. The referee hands him his championship and raises his hand. Dave holds the triumphs of war. He clutches the gold triumphantly and shakes it high into the air as he gets to his feet.
Connor: Despite all the pain and misery he’s been forced to endure tonight, Big Dave remains the world champion here on Ascension.
Cohen: This can’t be. Ty was so close.
Connor: As the old saying goes; close, but no cigar.
Cohen: Don’t butter me up with clichés CC.
Ty rolls out of the ring as Dave climbs the turnbuckles and poses for the people. The thunderous screams of the people takes us out as we fade to black, finishing the broadcast.
