Pyro illuminates the arena as we return to the Latinamerican Stadium in Havana, Cuba.

Cohen: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for letting us back into your homes. Over 40,000 strong as WZCW continues to make history. The second ever American Pro Wrestling event in Cuba. La Havana, Cuba to be exact. Jack Cohen alongside the beautiful Cat Connors under the Caribbean moonlight.

Connor: That's right Jack. Tonight, Ty Burna and Dorian Slaughter team up to take on Cerberus in non-title action. You could say it's The Elite vs Cerberus. And the last time we were in the Caribbean, Matt Tastic won the World Heavyweight Championship. We return and now Matt is a 2 time Champion. How will the local hero fare against the remaining head of Cerberus, Eve Taylor?

Cohen: I'd take the beautiful blonde over the goof.

​

The World Heavyweight Champion appears on stage to a thunderous roar. With both the Cuban and Puertorican flags draped over him. He makes his way down the aisle high fiving fans befor entering the ring and taking the mic.

Matt: Buenas noches a mis hermanos!!
Good evening, my brothers!!

Me being Puertorican and Cuba are bound by history. As you can see, our flags are literally palette swaps of each other. Both of our homes once enslaved by the Spaniards of old. We both fought for our freedom. We love our rice and beans and we just can't get enough of that Salsa music. Asucaah!!

I barely survived Hell In A Cell. Ty didn't win. Mikey didn't walk out. Hell, Constantine wasn't even able to make it. But I made it. And I'm here tonight to fight. And I'm ready to fight at Unscripted. Me and Dorian Slaughter. 1 on 1. Our options for the match have yet to be announced, but seriously. Hell In A Cell. Steel Cage. Lethal Lottery. Elimination Chamber. Ugh. Why don't we have a Greco-Roman gimmick match?

​

Dorian Slaughter comes out and slowly makes his way to the ring as the crowd boos.

Cohen: I have no clue what "asucah" means. I do however know that Dorian Slaughter means business. The fastest rising star in this company since... Well since Ty Burna.

Connor: That's the catchphrase of Celia Cruz, Jack. A very famous singer from here in Cuba. Known worldwide for her Salsa music.


Dorian: You stared death in the face. Fought the reaper and walked away standing. And yet you mock your encounter? The Devil spared you and you make light of it? You're not fit to stand among the living. It's clear to you that mortality means nothing.

Ty Burna failed on a miscalculation. But no one shall be spared when Judgment Day comes as The Book Of Slaughter dictates. Death judges all and no one will escape it's grip.

You've enjoyed your petty glimmer of hope. And you've clinged to the deteriorating rope of redemption long enough. That rope will soon snap. And you will plummet. To Hell. The reaper approaches, Matt Tastic. And no mortal is above death.

Matt looks on very seriously at his adversary. Dorian stares with a somewhat empty look onward after his words. There's zero movement from him while Matt slowly paces the ring.


Matt: You really are one morbid little creep. To all your claims about the death death death evil evil evil preaching, I think I got a retort. I notice you came out to Slayer. Awesome band, yeah. But Cuba holds a special gem of the music world. You talk about death? Well this great musician talks about life. And to enjoy it. Because like you said. It doesn't last forever. She began her career in 1966 and performed until brain cancer took her amazing life in 2003. Dorian, that's 37 years of singing about how great is life. And even on her deathbed she smiled. Something you sadly know nothing about because you can't get past the bad things in life to look in the bright side.

Dorian: Life has a beginning and it has an end. Death is unbound. It is infinite. You cannot change that.

Matt: Never cared about changing it, man. Neither did Celia Cruz. She knew her time would come. And decided to spread joy with her amazing talent. Learn something from her. Learn from the fact that we're actually here in Cuba. Bad times come to an end. At the end of the darkest of nights comes the brightest of days. And there's a reason we simply sleep during those nights. Like she always said:

♫Anyone who thinks that life is uneven, you have to know that it is not as well, that life is a beauty, it needs to be lived.♫

♫Anyone who thinks that this only and that is bad, you have to know that it is not as well, that in life there is no one only, there is always someone.♫

-♫Ay, there is no need to cry, that life is a carnival,
-and it is most beautiful live singing.♫

-♫Oh, oh, oh, Ay, there is no need to cry -
that life is a carnival♫

-♫ and the penalties are singing.♫

-♫Oh, oh, oh, Ay, there is no need to cry -
that life is a carnival,♫

-♫and it is most beautiful live singing.♫

-♫Oh, oh, oh, Ay, there is no need to cry -
that life is a carnival♫

- ♫and the penalties are singing.♫

Dorian: Soon your eyes will open, ignorant, lost lamb. And when they do, it will be too late. And you will be under death's cold embrace.

Becky Serra appears on stage in a huff with a mic in her hand and interrupts the two.

Serra: Was I just hearing my World Champion..... singing? This isn't karaoke night, Matt. Shut the hell up and get ready for your match. Now, Mr. Slaughter, congratulations on your major, impressive win on Gold Rush. You will face Matt Tastic at Unscripted one on one. Now I do need to warn you. There will be a fan-vote for this match. But for what is yet to be determined. We will inform you soon enough.

Dorian starts to walk away and up the ramp, but Matt takes the mic again.

Matt: What the hell? I come here to cheer the crowd up and you bitch at me. Dorian sucks the breath out of life and you treat him like he's some high end gentleman? What kind of businesswoman are you? Loosen up a little.

Serra: Shut up. They're here to watch wrestling. Not a clown sing in the ring.

Matt: So you don't respect this country's culture. That's what you're saying.

Serra: Get out of the ring!
​

Matt: I'll do it in style. DJ, give Becky a history lesson.

[youtube]0nBFWzpWXuM[/youtube]
​

Matt dances around the ring while Dorian simply marches away. He shows a slight sense of annoyance as he covers his ears on the way out. Becky simply grits her teeth and stomps away. Eve Taylor is seen peeking through the curtain. She stares daggers at Matt and he stops dancing noticing the stare. He stares right back at her as he holds up the World Championship.

Connor: What a catchy beat! Matt is taking his matches seriously, but he stops to give the crowd something to be pleased about.

Cohen: What? He just sang us a song! He was horrible. How dare he disrespect Dorian Slaughter and our general manager like that? I hope Eve slaps the tone-deaf out of him later tonight.

 

[Viola Moonlight]

The crowd is buzzing within the arena. The camera cuts to Connor standing up at the announcer’s booth with a microphone in her hand.

Connor: It has been several months since he was sidelined by injury, but now he returns. The dragon breathes fire once again!

​

The crowd ignites in approval as the Cubans warmly welcome back the high-flying luchador, El Califa Dragon! He runs out bouncing to his music with the hood of his robe over his head. He seems more hyped than ever to be back in action. His vibe is infectious as the crowd starts bouncing with him. He yells something out to the crowd before running down the entrance ramp. They cheer him on in excitement. He slides into the ring and ascends a nearby turnbuckle before flipping his hood back to reveal his red and blue mask for the evening. The crowd pops even more as red and blue are colors on the Cuban flag.

Anderson: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Culiacan, Mexico, weighing 180 pounds, El Califa Dragón!

The camera switches from the eccentric Califa to a brooding Derek Jacobs who is already in the ring.

Anderson: And his opponent, already in the ring, from Chicago Illinois, "The God of War" Derek Jacobs!

The crowd boos as Jacobs holds up a fist in appreciation of himself.

Connor: El Califa is back, but he is going to start his return against a mammoth of an opponent in Derek Jacobs. Jacobs almost has a foot on Califa.

Cohen: And also one hundred pounds. Look, when Jacobs left us last time I think we all thought that we would never see him step foot in a WZCW ring again, but here he is. And you know what, he has been surprisingly competitive in the short time that he as been back.

Connor: El Califa is a former tag team champion. He has rubbed elbows with world champions. Size may not be in his favor, and Jacobs has had time to knock off ring rust, but prestige definitely on the side of the dragon.

The bell rings as Califa and Jacobs charge out of their corners. Jacobs goes for a high grapple, but Califa has other plans. He begins a series of kicks at the ankles and then up to the thighs until he knocks Jacobs down to one knee. Califa tries to grab the head of Jacobs, but he gets pushed back for his effort. Jacobs is furious as he pushes himself back up to his feet. However, Califa is returning from the push with a set of legs around the head of Jacobs for a spinning headscissors takedown! The manuever sends Jacobs tumbling toward some nearby ropes. Califa is quick to recover as he approaches the former Sacrificial Altar member. Jacobs wants none of it as he grabs some nearby ropes and pulls himself underneath them and out of the ring. The crowd boos, but Califa already has a plan in mind.

The dragon runs at full sprint towards the ropes on the other side of the ring. He bounces off of them and uses the momentum to push back to the other side and dives through the middle and top rope for a Tope Suicida! Jacobs doesn’t know what hits him as the body of the dragon takes him off his feet and crashing against the outside barricade. The crowd loves it as Califa uses the outside apron to return to his feet. The referee begins a slow count in the ring as both men remain on the outside.

Califa jumps up on to the outside apron as he surveys Jacobs. Jacobs is now somewhat standing as he leans back in a slumped crucifix pose on the barricade. Califa works the crowd from the apron as they cheer on whatever concoction is forming in his head. He backs up to the nearest turnbuckle and uses the runway on the apron for maximum momentum. He launches himself with a missile dropkick to the face and upper-torso of Jacobs. Jacobs eats it and crumbles to the ground as Califa stirs near him after delivering the blow.

Connor: You wouldn’t even be able to tell that Califa has been injured. He looks better than ever in his return.

Cohen: I'm just wondering, CC. How much did Califa pay you to be his spokesperson tonight?

Connor: Oh shut up, Jack.

The referee is at eight, but Califa doesn’t wish to win that way in his return match. He quickly recovers and picks up Jacobs. He tosses him under the ropes and into the ring, along with entering himself, just before the count-out.

Jacobs, surprisingly, has risen to his feet. He staggers his way over to a turnbuckle to support himself from falling back down. He turns around in the turnbuckle and is greeted by a swinging hand from Califa that delivers a knife-edge chop to his chest. He lets out a groan of pain as the crowd winces at the crisp blow. Califa begins hitting a series of alternating punches. They are too fast to count along with, and Jacobs eats each one. After a minute, Califa sidesteps and allows Jacobs to stumble out of the corner. The daze he is in causes him to turn back towards his opponent. He gingerly holds up his fists like he is ready for a fight, but he isn’t ready for the jaw-dropping roundhouse kick to his head that sends him crumbling down onto his back.

Cohen: OUCH! That had to hurt!

Connor: That beautiful combination was the Violent Flurry from Califa!

Califa couldn’t have asked for a better position as Jacobs lies back first just a few feet away from the turnbuckle he is near. Califa ascends it and stands tall. The crowd knows what is coming as they begin to go crazy. Califa leaps off the top turnbuckle and flips to hit a beautiful phoenix splash!

Connor: And that is called Dragon de Vuelo!

Califa stays on for the cover as the crowd roars,

The crowd resurges with a pop as Califa stands up in victory. The referee raises his hand to a cheering crowd.

Anderson: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner by pinfall, El Califa Dragon!

Califa ascends a nearby turnbuckle and works the crowd and their excitement.

Connor: The dragon is back, and he is indeed breathing fire! Everyone on his path should look out.

Cohen: Nothing short of dominating. I didn't care much for your drooling over him, but I can't take away from his dominance tonight.

Connor: Drooling?!

Cohen: We are supposed to be unbiased professionals, CC.

Connor: Oh, please. Anyway, with his return to WZCW, it’ll be interesting to see where he fits in the plans for Unscripted.

The last shot we get is of Califa cheering on the turnbuckle before we cut to commercial.

********************

We are backstage in the Cerberus locker room where Flex Mussel is pumped, doing some last minute reps with his weights. Ramparte sits cross-legged, staring into space. Eve is putting on the final few pieces of her wrestling attire in the corner, keeping to herself.

Mussel: I still don't understand why the Russians would come out and attack Everest.

Ramparte: It was a warning, Flex. They put us on notice.

Mussel: If they wanted to put us on notice, why didn't they come after us? Why did they choose to go after a man whose retired from in-ring competition? A pretty despicable move if you ask me.

Ramparte: Nothing different than we've done in the past.

The room becomes awfully quiet as Flex & Ramparte look at each other for a moment, realising the truth of the situation. The silence is broken as Eve stomps the ground after tying up her laces. The tag champs look at her but Taylor doesn't look at her partners, staring forward.

Taylor: I've lost my Eurasian championship. As I was told by Mr. Banks, the only way to secure my re-match is to defeat the World champion tonight. I need to focus all my efforts on Matt Tastic and nothing else; no distractions. Listening to the two of you and your problems is a distraction. I need to get ready elsewhere... I NEED my Eurasian title back.

Eve walks out of the locker room much to the shock of Flex. Ramparte gets up and puts a hand on his back.

Ramparte: Let her be, Flex. She's got a point though; we should probably focus on our match tonight. Cerberus against the Elite... whatever's left of it, anyway.

********************

An empty wrestling ring is cast in black and white. Dim lights shine down upon a figure standing in the ring. Muscular, yet slender. His face is masked in shadows, as are his hands which hang well below his waist. He bends his long arms up to show that his fists are heavily taped and worn. A smile can be seen slowly curling on his face as he turns and in slow motion runs the ropes.

"A moment in time can change everything"

[YOUTUBE]6uVFh6mpZys[/YOUTUBE]

"It can lead to substantial triumph and joy, or it can lead to immense pain and sorrow"

[YOUTUBE]2XL9H3UJ1Lk[/YOUTUBE]

"A moment can stand still in time and be remembered forever"

[YOUTUBE]n8l72i31Jqo[/YOUTUBE]

"I have wrestled for many years, waiting for this moment to come"

[YOUTUBE]22HN4SA4z1I[/YOUTUBE]

"My moment has yet to be realized"

The wrestler bounces off the far ropes and runs hard towards the camera, hitting it with a running boot.

"And my opponents will never forget me"

[YOUTUBE]WRt4SmoKC_M[/YOUTUBE]

The wrestlers leg is draped over the top rope, his body leaned over too. Colour is added to the picture and the wrestler nods his head and smiles as the video turns to black.

Noah Ryder is coming soon.​

We return from commercial break to see that The Eternal Question is in the ring with a microphone. The crowd seems to be fuming over something he said during the break.

TEQ: Now, now. There is no need for all you men out there to get heated. In fact, there is no reason you should be opening your mouth at all at this moment. The ladies and I are talking.

The crowd boos some more.

TEQ: Now, where were we, ladies?

TEQ raises an eyebrow at the camera.

TEQ: Oh, yes. After I beat elegANT in my singles match tonight, I will lay claim to his Elite X Title. Then, we will make a little x…...x…...x of our own. Oh, yeah!

​

The crowd erupts in applause as elegANT runs out of the gorilla position while shaking his head out of embarrassment and disgust for TEQ. elegANT unstraps his newly won Elite X Title from his waist and clinches the strap with one hand as he proudly projects it into the air. The crowd loves it.

Connor: Thank god our new Elite X Champion came out here when he did. It was about time someone shut this guy up.

Cohen: Come on, CC. You’re telling me that you don’t like being pampered with words like that?

Connor makes a gagging sound.

elegANT shakes the last few hands at the end of the entrance ramp before sliding into the ring. He removes the suit coat and top hat he brought along with him and hands them off to a ringside official. He then takes his Elite X Title and begins working the turnbuckles.

Anderson: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is a non-title match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from the lap of luxury, weighing 179 pounds, the gentlemanly insect and friend to all, the Elite X Champion, elegANT!

The crowd approves with zeal!

Anderson: And his opponent, already in the ring, from New Orleans, Louisiana, weighing 195 pounds, The Eternal Question!

The crowd boos, and TEQ does not look amused. He watches ANT finish working the corners before handing his belt off to a ringside official. The referee checks on both men before signaling for the bell. It dings and the match begins.

Cohen: This of course is a non-title match, but I believe it won’t be long before TEQ gets an actual title shot. The man has been on fire since his debut here in WZCW. Besides, someone needs to show this side-show freak what a real champion looks like.

Connor: Jack, I am honestly disappointed in you that you think that TEQ is what a real man looks like.

Cohen: Oh, come on, CC. He has all the charisma in the world!

Again, another gagging sound from Connor.

ANT steps towards the center of the ring from his corner, but he stops when TEQ holds up his hands for a pause. ANT is confused. TEQ faces towards outside the ring and at the announcer’s table. He spots Selena Anderson sitting near the announcers.

TEQ: Yo, Anderson.

TEQ holds up a telephone hand gesture to the side of his face. He winks and gives her kissy faces. However, the kissy faces get the best of them as he finds an arm being hooked underneath him as he gets pulled back for a quick rollup.

WAIT, NO. TEQ got out just in the nick of time. He quickly returns to his feet in a flustered manner. He charges at ANT, who is near a corner. He pounces at him, but ANT sidesteps the manuever. TEQ hits the turnbuckle. The impact sends him turning around in the turnbuckle with his back against it. He has little time to breathe as ANT returns with a stinger splash! TEQ absorbs the blow and stumbles out of the corner before spiraling down and landing on his stomach on the ring mat. ANT follows up by grabbing one arm and leg of TEQ to bend them into a I BEG YOUR PARDON submission!

Connor: I BEG YOUR PARDON IS LOCKED IN! elegANT’s finisher submission is locked in!

Spoiler

TEQ tries to resist the pain, but he has to tap! ANT releases the hold as the bell rings. The crowd pops wildly as elegANT excitedly grabs his belt from the ringside official. He begins working the turnbuckle as he hoists the belt high over his head. The crowd chants!

ANT! ANT! ANT! ANT! ANT!

Anderson: Here is your winner by submission, elegANT!

Cohen: What the hell was that from TEQ?!

Connor: HAHA! It’s called getting what you deserve! I think elegANT might be a little upset because he seems to be as hyped as ever. He could probably go another few matches with the energy he is getting from this crowd.

We see elegANT exiting the ring and shaking hands with the fans at ringside. The last shot we get is of elegANT taking a picture with fans before we go over the announcer's desk.

Connor: Before we press forward with the evening, we'd like to give everyone an update on WZCW Superstar and famous Bollywood actor Veejay.

Cohen: Following his excellent performance against Dorian Slaughter in the finals of the Gold Rush #1 Contender's Tournament, Veejay made the decision to take a hiatus from WZCW to focus on other projects. We don't know what those other projects are and whether or not Veejay will make a return to WZCW still remains to be a mystery but for now, Veejay will be taking time away from WZCW.

Connor: We wish him well and hopefully we can see him sooner rather than later.

​

The crowd cheers as Stormrage's music hits. Instead of Stormrage running through the curtain as is custom, he instead comes out in a wheelchair and rolls his way down the ramp. He hits the ring and requests a microphone from one of the ringside attendants.

Stormrage: So this is my first time in Cuba, and I have to say I love the food right here in Havana, Cuba!

Cheap pop or not, the crowd cheers wildly.

Stormrage: Now the last time you guys saw me, I learned that I in fact could not fly. Let's take a look.

Tastic sees his opponents beginning to scale the cell and immediately does his best to get out his restraints and begins to slowly make his way back toward the cell to follow the action. Meanwhile Ty gets to the top of the cell thinking he’s made it to safety only to look back in horror as an enraged Mikey is about to make it to the top going right for him. Ty immediately goes on the defensive stomping away at Stormrage as he makes it to the top. Mikey begins to fight back however and both men hit each other with haymaker after haymaker as the fans rage on in excitement. As those two fight at the top Tastic finally makes it to the Cell where he begins to climb against the medical team’s better judgement. The ref knows he can’t stop the action anymore and begins to follow Tastic up the cell. Ty then hits Stormrage with a knee to the gut looks to go for the Desecration Annihilation but Mikey reverses it and hits a Falcon Punch! He gets up Ty looking for the Game Over but Ty slips out and low blows Mikey! Tastic is almost to the top as Ty notices and tries to think what he can do even the odds. He looks over on the other side of the cell and then back at Stormrage. He grabs him then begins to move him onto the edge. Tastic gets to the top just in time to see Ty throw Mikey off the top of the cell straight onto the Spanish announce table!

Stormrage: Nasty bastard that Ty Burna is. Obviously I was stretchered out after that and was immediately rushed to a local hospital. Now the biggest issue was that I couldn't feel anything from the neck down for a while. Eventually the feeling in my arms and torso returned, but from the waist down I had nothing. The doctors were afraid I was going to lose my ability to walk.

Mikey rolls his wheelchair over to the ring steps.

Stormrage: Needless to say I woke up the next morning and walked over and kicked that doctor right in his ass! I'm back baby!

Mikey stands from his chair, kicking it away as he quickly makes his way into the ring.

Stormrage: So in my down time I did a little fishing, got a sneak peak at the new Witcher 3, but I had a lot of time on my hands to think. I came up with an idea and I went to management and they were on board so tonight, right here in Havana, Cuba, I'm proud to announce that at Unscripted I will be hosting the first ever Ultra Mega Definitive Mikey Stormrage Open Invitational 2015. I'd be nowhere without all you great fans, so I'm going to let you choose my opponent for Unscripted. Any WZCW Superstar is eligible, so I will have no idea who my opponent will be. It is all up to you, the great WZCW fans to choose who gets to come out and try to break my undefeated streak at Unscripted. So let the Definitive Super Hyper Mikey Stormrage 2015 Open Challenge begin!

Stormrage rolls out of the ring and plays with the wheelchair, running up and sliding down the ramp with it as we go to commercial.

We are in Becky Serra's office who is busy doing some paperwork when she hears a knock on the door. Serra sighs as she puts her glasses down and drops her pen.

Serra: Enter!

The door opens and Bruce Irwin walks in, rocking casual Australian attire, slightly confusing Becky.

Serra: Ah Bruce! Vance told me you were heading my way tonight.

Irwin: I'm hoping I don't have to investigate any further beyond your office.

Serra: Lucky for you, I have your answer. Winning the Triple Threat match at Gold Rush has guaranteed you a spot in the Elite X championship match at Unscripted. Congratulations Bruce Irwin, you've earned yourself a title opportunity.

Irwin: Fair Dinkum!

Serra: Yes, I believe the "dinkum's" are fair... whatever that means.

Irwin looks pleased and smiles but raises his finger, wondering about something.

Irwin: Wait... your phrasing sounds a little iffy. What do you mean by "guaranteed a spot?"

Serra: It just means the other two challengers for elegANT's title will have to earn their title spot another way.

Irwin: So, I'm in a Fatal Four Way?

Serra: Correct and you've got a guaranteed spot for the match no matter what happens. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some work to do.

Irwin looks to ask more questions but he leaves, respecting the wishes of the General Manager who gets back to her paperwork.

********************

Somewhere in the darkness, a lone figure in a hooded robe stands with his hung low, staring at a small candle burning slowly down the wick. Another figure enters the fray, grabbing the shoulder of the hooded figure. It is revealed to be Ty Burna.

Burna: It is time for the wolves of war to taste their demise and witness the desecration our hands can create.

The hooded figure looks up, staring at Ty, revealing himself to be Dorian Slaughter. He slowly raises his hands.

Slaughter: Their sacrifice will be the first of many upon our way to extinguishing Matt Tastic and releasing Chaos upon the lands once more.

Slaughter looks down and grabs the candle, crushing it in his hands, in turn extinguishing the fire. The two walk off as the camera stays watching the candle.

********************

Anderson: The following match is scheduled for one fall!

​

Matt Tastic comes out onto the stage with the belt around his waist. He pauses on the stage for a moment, unhooks the belt, and raises it above his head to a huge pop.

Anderson: Introducing first, from Southwestern, Puerto Rico, he is the WZCW World Champion, "The Invincible" Matt Tastic!

Tastic slaps hands with fans around ringside before rolling into the ring and posing with the belt on all four turnbuckles.

​

Eve Taylor comes out onto the stage, looking under-dressed without the Eurasian Championship. She poses less than normal, instead staring down the champion in the ring.

Anderson: And his opponent, making her way down the runway, from Milan, Italy; "The Fabulous" Eve Taylor!

Eve slides into the ring, staying on all fours for a few seconds before slowing getting to her feet and posing nonchalantly once more, watching Tastic out of the corner of her eye.

As the bell rings, the two competitors slowly circle each other for a few moments before locking up. They both struggle for control, with Tastic able to back Taylor into the corner. Referee Jurou Akiyama calls for a break, and the champion obliges. They circle once more and lock up in the center of the ring. This time, Eve is able to get underneath Matt enough to drive him into a corner. Another clean break is called for. The model winds up for a slap, but chooses instead to back up with her hands in the air and a smile on her face.

Connor: You can see both Eve and Matt being cautious at the start here. Tastic knows that he lost to Eve a couple weeks ago, and Taylor wants to get a big win in her first match without the Eurasian Championship.

Cohen: Matt Tastic is the one with something to prove here. He has the loss to avenge, not Eve.

Tastic comes out of the corner much more quickly and heads right for Eve. Taylor goes for a lock up, but Matt ducks underneath and grabs a rear waistlock for a moment before quickly transitioning to a side headlock. He tries for a takeover, but Eve manages to flip out of it and land on her feet. Tastic looks up at her with a stunned look on his face, which is replaced by pain after a stiff slap. Taylor quickly rolls to the floor before the champion can retaliate. The referee holds Matt while the model struts and smirks on the outside. She climbs onto the apron, but drops down as Tastic charges toward her. She continues to walk around the ring as boos begin to rain down. She rolls under the bottom rope, but quickly rolls back out when Matt runs at her again. She turns her back to the ring to argue with a fan, so Tastic bounces off the far ropes to build momentum for a plancha suicida. As he goes to dive through the ropes, however, Eve turns and leaps with a High Heel Kick straight to the jaw of the champion. She poses on the apron next to the nearly lifeless body of Matt Tastic hanging in the ropes. Taylor gets back to her feet and begins driving knee strikes into the face and chest of Tastic. She climbs back into the ring and pulls him out of the ropes into a rollup, 1…2., Matt kicks out. Taylor quickly locks in a figure four headlock, maintaining control of her weakened opponent.

Cohen: Eve Taylor clearly has Matt Tastic’s number. He’s lucky that the title isn’t on the line here.

Connor: I wouldn’t go that far, Jack, but it is possible that Eve may have gotten inside the champ’s head there.

Tastic struggles in the hold, but manages to do a reverse somersault, rolling up Eve, 1…, she releases the hold to kick out. Both wrestlers get back to their feet, with Matt scoring first with a right hand. He goes to run the ropes, but Taylor grabs his hair and pulls him to the mat. Eve rubs her jaw before pulling Tastic up, again by the hair, before grabbing a side headlock and raking the champion’s eyes along the top rope. When they get to the corner, the model uses one of her long legs to choke Tastic up against the turnbuckles. She backs off just before being disqualified and tosses her hair a bit. Eve charges in hard, but Matt moves out of the way. She crashes into the corner and turns around into a series of chops and punches from the champion. Taylor stumbles out of the corner and right into an overhead belly-to-belly suplex. Tastic crawls toward a cover, but Eve manages to roll to the floor. She stumbles around ringside, trying to regain her bearings. That is rudely interrupted by Tastic flying through the ropes with a suicide dive. He slowly gets back to his feet and picks up Eve’s limp body and rolling her into the ring. Matt high-fives a couple fans before hopping up onto the apron. As he climbs into the ring, Eve grabs his arm and hits a Fashion Statement through the ropes! Tastic falls hard to the floor while Eve lies in the ring still recovering from the earlier flurry from the champion.

Connor: What a move by the former Eurasian Champion!

Cohen: Start counting! Eve Taylor has beaten the WZCW World Champion once again!

1…
2…

Tastic has yet to stir on the floor while, with the help of the ropes, Taylor is now back to her feet.

3…
4…
5…

Matt is slowly beginning to use the ring skirt to pull himself up.

6…
7…

He is still on his knees, trying to get at least one foot down.

8…

He gets his right foot planted.

9…

Tastic dives into the ring. Eve quickly rolls him to the center and hooks a leg, 1…2…, a kick out at the last moment! Taylor screams at Akiyama for a moment before pulling the champion back to his feet. She hooks him for the Extreme Makeover and screams, “I’m getting my title back!” From nowhere, however, Tastic lifts her up and plants her with the Headache Driver! All he can manage to do is reach one arm across her chest, 1…2…3!

Anderson: The winner of the match, the WZCW World Heavyweight Champion, Matt Tastic!

Akiyama checks on both combatants, raising the champion’s hand once he manages to get back to his feet. Eve rolls to the floor and walks to the back with her head down and holding her neck.

Connor: Great victory by the champ, getting a win of his own on Eve Taylor.

Cohen: I'd hate to think what Eve's mental state is after this match.

As Tastic grabs his championship, Dorian Slaughter appears in the ring. He grabs Tastic and hits Death Becomes You on the champion. Slaughter stands, looking down at Tastic as the referee yells at Slaughter to leave immediately. Slaughter keeps a stoic face as he exits the ring, heading up the ramp.

Connor: What was that? He just had a match!

Cohen: I believe it was a little taste of what is to come.

********************

We go backstage to Leon Kensworth and elegANT.

Leon: elegANT, we learned tonight that you will be defending your new Elite X Championship against three opponents at Unscripted, and that the first will be Bruce Irwin. Your thoughts?

elegANT: Leon, this championship is worthless if there aren’t people fighting for it. A four-way match is quite the challenge, but I look forward to it. Bruce Irwin is a very capable challenger coming off a big win on the pre-show for Gold Rush. I just hope he isn’t as fatal as many of the other creatures that reside in Australia. I can’t wait to see who else we’ll be mixing it up with!

elegANT pats Leon on the back and heads off-screen as the scene fades out.

********************

We see Eve Taylor, holding her head, walking through the backstage corridors. She is angered, pushing over some equipment as she walks down the corridors.

Connor: Looks like Eve Taylor is leaving the building.

Anderson: The following contest is a non-title Tag Team Match set for one fall! Introducing first, they are the WZCW World Tag Team Champions, Ramparte, Flex Mussel, they are Cerberus!!

The World Tag Team Champions emerge on stage holding their titles up high to a mixed reaction. Flex pulls out a couple of strawberries he then proceeds to juggle as Ramparte pays no attention to anything other than the title belt he holds. In the ring, Flex eats the strawberries.

Cohen:Just look at that, Cat. What athleticism by the Tag Team Champion.

Connor: You'd think such a fit freak would know better than to eat things out of his pocket. But the Tag Team Champions have a hell of a challenge on their hands.

[youtube]nze16zyVkDY[/youtube]​

Anderson: And their opponents, first from Cleveland, Ohio, he is Ty Burna!!

Ty emerges and walks down the aisle simply looking angry and holding half of his face with an angry expression.

Cohen:Ty would be World Champion right now if it weren't for Live Mas double teaming him at Hell In A Cell.

Connor: That would not have happened if it weren't for Ty himself. He took out Constantine. That's why he ended up against the two best friends at the PPV.

On the crowd we see none other than Matt Tastic sitting with the fans with a ridiculously large cup of popcorn. He heeds no attention to the camera though.

Connor: There's the World Champion, probably surveying his opponent.

[youtube]DgASEyey_KQ[/youtube]

Anderson: And his tag team partner, he is the winner of the 2015 Gold Rush tournament, he is Dorian Slaugther!!

Dorian slowly appears out of a cloud of flashing smoke on the stage as the crowd loudly boo's. He shows no concern and very methodically makes his way to the ring. He enters the ring and stretches his arms out in prayer.

Cohen: It took Matt Tastic 5 years to headline his first PPV. In a few weeks, Dorian will do that within 5 months. That pest does not know what he's about to face at Unscripted.

Connor: That "pest" survived Lethal Lottery and Hell In A Cell. Not to mention a Steel Cage match with Ty. I think he can handle himself.

* Ding Ding Ding *
​

Dorian and Ramparte start things off as referee Jurou Akiyama starts the match. The two circle measuring each other looking for an edge to start off. Ramparte skims across the canvas as Slaughter holds his own. The Tag Team Champion then reaches for Dorian's leg for a Takedown attempt. But that proves ineffective when Dorian simply waistlocks the much smaller Ramparte. He stands him up and whips him off into the corner where Ty is located. The Harbinger of Chaos is quick to take advantage and clubs Ramparte in the back of the head. Jurou quickly admonishes Ty for the attack as Dorian also clubs Ramparte, knocking him down. Dorian stretches out his arms in reverence as Flex shouts at him in anger. Dorian gets back into things and begins to stomp on Ramparte.


Cohen: Look at how imposing Slaughter is, Cat. He just towers over one half of the greatest tag team in wrestling.

Connor: I see a lack of focus from Slaughter's end though. I feel he's not too familiar with the type of match he's in. For that matter, how often do we see Ty in tag team matches? Especially in his current state?


Ty however shouts from his corner for a tag which Dorian turns to contemplate. As he does though, Flex takes advantage and knocks Dorian down. He drags Ramparte to his corner as Jurou yells at him for the blatant blindsided and illegal attack. Not that it matters as all Ramparte has to do is stretch his arm out and Flex is now legal. Flex comes in with a flurry of offense, knocking Dorian down with Clotheslines. He Scoop Slams the #1 Contender down and drops an elbow on his back. He gets up and take a few steps around the ring to measure his next move. But as he does, Ty stretches out of his corner and loosely slaps Flex in the back of the head. That's enough to distract him and he approaches Ty. However Ty drops out of the apron pleading ignorance. As that goes on, Dorian gets back up. But before he has a chance to take advantage and attack Flex from behind, Ramparte Springboards into the ring and hits Dorian with a sneak attack Leg Lariat!

Connor: Slaughter may be dominant, but he's in there with the World Tag Team Champions. And teamwork is what that division is all about. They are taking full advantage of the inexperience of Slaughter.

Cohen: You said it was lack of experience earlier, Cat. I hardly see lack of experience playing a factor here when you face two dominant forces like Ty Burna and Dorian Slaughter. I know you think they aren't working together. But sometimes, destructive force can break an organized strategy.

Ty goes from distracting Flex to holding his head in panic. Flex without even looking brags at Ty. He turns around as Ramparte exits the ring to the apron at Jurou's behest. The Healthiest Man Alive now is able to take advantage of the #1 Contender to the World Championship. Flex stands Dorian up and hits a series of European Uppercuts before following it up with a series of Short Arm Clotheslines. Standing up Dorian after each one. He then whips Dorian across the ring and catches him for a Belly To Belly Suplex. Flex hooks the leg for the cover.

1......

2.........

3-No! The big man kicks out at 2 and a half as Flex shows some frustration. As does his partner, Ramparte and the exasperated Ty Burna. We get another shot of Matt Tastic in the crowd looking on steadily.

Cohen: Look all you want, pest. Your challenger can take the Tag Team Champions full force. How do you hope to take him out?

Connor: I realize Dorian is imposing. Especially over Matt, but Jack, don't forget Dorian has minimal response for Cerberus' strategic tag team maneuvering.


Flex tags his partner in as he sets Dorian on the corner. Ramparte races to the opposite end and then runs back as Flex stands in the way. Flex catapults his partner up into the air and Ramparte comes down with a Dropkick to Dorian's sternum. He falls down clutching his chest but more as if he's sucking it up rather than being in pain. He falls to the canvas as Ramparte quickly goes for the cover.


1....

2.........

3-But Dorian powers out of it at two. Ramparte quickly front facelocks Dorian who tries to scramble for a tag. Ramparte keeps him at bay, but the big man is too much and starts to push back. Ramparte stretches over Dorian to reach Flex as Ty seems desperate to get in the ring. Ramparte can't reach Flex as Dorian gets more and more momentum. He then positions himself and Back Bodydrops Ramparte overhead. As Ramparte falls though, Flex catches his foot making it a tag. He gets in the ring, but its too late and Dorian tags Ty! Ty is now legal, but rather than run in off the hot tag, he instead grits his teeth in satisfaction of now being legal in the match. Flex gets in the ring and looks on perplexed, waiting for Ty as Dorian rolls out.

Cohen: Look at Ty. How confident. Just laughing at them. But Cerberus is no Live Mas. That's a real threat. Get in there, Ty!

Connor: It's clear neither Dorian or Ty are adept in tag team wrestling, Jack. They might be in agreement about what they want to do. But there seems to be no synergy between the two while Flex and Ramparte rely heavily on their tag teaming.


Ty finally enters the ring slowly. Mocking Flex. But he has none of it and waistlocks Ty. Taking him down to the mat and catching him off guard for some reason. Flex then Gutwrenches Ty back to his feets and tosses him overhead. He grabs Ty by the legs but the former World Champion pulls him in and punches him in the face. Flex staggers back as Ty gets up. He grabs Flex and hits a Pumphandle Driver Slam into a pin.

1.........

2.............

3-But Ramparte comes in to break it up. Dorian remains on the apron steady as Ty looks annoyed at Ramparte's interference. Jurou reprimands him as Ty gets back up paying attention to Ramparte. Flex staggers to his feet as Ty grabs him. Ty screams orders at Dorian who seems nearly unresponsive. In that moment, Flex shoves Ty who knocks Dorian off the apron. Off the rebound, Flex tosses Ty into his corner with great strength and gets Ramparte into the match with a tag. Flex quickly grabs Ty by the legs and drops him for the Spin And Win. Dorian gets back on his side of the apron but Ramparte rushes and knocks him back off. He then runs to the corner parallel to his and Flex. Flex charges Ty to the corner as Dorian looks to the crowd where Matt Tastic is. After some staring, Matt just waves in a "hello". As that goes on, Flex struggles to hold Ty down as he tries to escape. But Ramparte goes Coast To Coast to hit the Hound And Pound. Flex instantly grabs Ty and hits him with the Full Body Fitness. He places Ramparte on top of Ty and Dorian realizes what happened and rushes back but as Ramparte covers, Flex cuts Dorian off.

1.......

2.....

3!!

Anderson: Here are your winners, Flex Mussel, Ramparte, The World Tag Team Champions: CERBERUS!!

Dorian stands on the outside, not moving with a stoic face. Flex enters the ring and joins Ramparte, helping him up and they begin to celebrate the victory.

Connor: I told you! Ty and Dorian were teaming up, but they weren't working together. the former Elite's paying attention to their own devices led to their demise! And to think, these two seemed to have a clear path heading into this match.

Cohen: It's clear each man had their own priorities, Cat. Dorian has Matt Tastic to take care of.

Connor:Yeah, but you'd think Ty would work with Dorian to get rid of their common foe. Ty has other things on his mind and I don't think even he knows what those things are.

Cohen: Ty Burna is Ty Burna, Cat. He's a first ballot Hall Of Famer. He doesn't bounce back because he's always on track.

Flex & Ramparte hold their championships high on the turnbuckles. Dorian Slaughter remains on the outside, recuperating. However, Ty Burna gets to his feet, visibly seething as he stares holes through the tag team champions who cannot see him behind them.

Cohen: This doesn't look good.

Ty rans at Flex, grabbing him from the turnbuckles and delivering a impactful powerbomb backbreaker to Flex, laying him out on the canvas. Ramparte turns around and sees what happens, jumping down from the corner and begins attacking Ty Burna. Slaughter rolls into the ring and attacks Ramparte from behind, assaulting one half of the tag champions with a barrage of kicks.

Connor: The match is over. Why are they attacking the champions?

Cohen: It's about making a statement, CC. They need to show the World champion Matt Tastic exactly what these two can do to him when his time comes.

Ty lifts up Ramparte, allowing Dorian to hit Death Becomes You on Ramparte. He lies almost motionless on the canvas. Dorian & Ty turn around, setting their sights on a slowly recovering Flex who tries to get up. This time, it is Dorian who lifts Flex and looks to give him to Ty. As Ty is setting up, the Desecration Annihilation. The crowd watches on as the lights begin to flicker. Dorian looks to Ty but he too is slightly confused. Suddenly...

... darkness.

Cohen: Did we lose power?

Connor: I don't think it's an electrical issue, Jack.

​

Ty let's go of Flex as he looks at the titantron where the creepy pictures are shown. He stares at them maliciously, eyes burning red as he tries to figure out what is going on. Eventually, the lights come back on but there is an extra body standing in the ring, right behind Ty Burna. It is a man wearing a burlap sack over his head.

Cohen: Turn around Ty!

Burna slowly turns around to be greeted by the man in the burlap sack, who immediately begins beating up Ty Burna! Slaughter tries to intervene but this mysterious man pushes Slaughter back. The burlap sack man grabs Ty and throws him out of the ring!

Cohen: Who is this man?

Connor: I don't know but he seems to have a problem with Ty Burna as he's going after him.

The mystery man continually attacks Ty, throwing him over the barricade, following him into the crowd. Slaughter gets to his feet and watches from the ring for a few seconds before turning his attention back to Flex Mussel. Dorian picks him up, looking to hit the Death Becomes You as well until the crowd begins cheering loudly once more as Matt Tastic runs into the ring.

Connor: It's Matt Tastic!

Cohen: First the guy in the burlap sack and now the World's champion. What's going on?

Connor: He's looking to gain revenge after what Dorian did to him after his match!

Dorian drops Flex to the ground and calmly exits the ring as Tastic slides in, begging for Slaughter to get into the ring. Dorian ignores the requests, turning his back on Tastic as he goes up the ramp. He stands at the top, telling Tastic that he will experience the end very shortly. Tastic holds his championship high in the air, shaking his head.

Connor: Things are certainly getting heated between these two individuals. The path of destruction for Dorian Slaughter doesn't appear to be slowing down but Tastic prevented the so-called sacrifice of the tag champs.

Cohen: I never thought I'd see the day Matt Tastic would come out to help Cerberus out... and who was that mysterious man who attacked Ty Burna? Are they still fighting in the arena?

Connor: Who knows, Jack but one thing is for certain, Matt Tastic is not yet finished with the Elite despite the group dying at Gold Rush. Let's see how Tastic holds up as Dorian looks to challenge him at Unscripted.

The scene ends with Dorian leaving and Matt Tastic exiting the ring, walking up the ramp. He poses for the fans as he stands on stage with Flex slowly crawling over to Ramparte, checking on his tag team partner. Slowly, he tries to get up to his feet, looking to help Ramparte up to his but it's taking a lot of effort.

Connor: Well, I'm not exactly sorry for Cerberus. I hate seeing wrestlers being ambushed but this has been their tactic since they formed, jumping people after matches and from behind. Karma coming back to bite them.

Cohen: They're the Tag Team champions, CC. No need to feel sorry for them. They'll bounce back from this encounter, I as-

​

Cohen: Oh no.

The crowd boos loudly as Oleg Rasputin & Victor Makarov walk behind Freddie Fortune who has a smile on his face. The two big Russians looked primed and ready as Freddie signals them to go forth. Rasputin & Makarov nod at each other as they march down the ramp. Flex looks on, worried for his friend's safety who is slowly gaining consciousness. Flex puts him down and tries to stand his ground, wobbly on his feet. Rasputin & Makarov get on the apron, smiling at what they about to do. Flex goes after Rasputin, attacking him with everything he's got but Makarov manages to get in, jumping Flex from behind. The two big Russians beat the crap out of the Flex with stomps and strikes, making sure he is down and out. Rasputin picks up Flex, allowing Makarov to measure up and hit him with Mother Russia, knocking Flex out.

Rasputin & Makarov turn their attention to a recovering Ramparte, with Makarov picking him up this time. Rasputin lines him up and hits the Russian Hammer on Ramparte, knocking him out as well. The crowd boos as Freddie Fortune enters the ring, proud of both men. Rasputin & Makarov grabs the tag team championships and hold them high in the air, standing over the bodies of Flex & Ramparte.

Cohen: Well, if Cerberus wanted the Russians to deal with them, they go their wish. They've just laid out the champions here tonight... do they deserve this beat-down as well, Cat?

Connor: No comment however, I think we've found ourselves the next top contenders for the World Tag titles. If this doesn't get them a championship opportunity or at the very least, put in the spotlight to earn an opportunity, I'll be very surprised.

Cohen: For Cerberus' sake, let's hope the Russians get that shot sooner rather than later or this will become a very familiar sight for the fans.

Connor: And that's all the time we have tonight. Thank you for tuning into Ascension and goodnight from Cuba.
