The crowd roars as the pyro shoots straight up from the end of the ramp to the entrance way, the last and biggest one fades to reveal Showtime as the dim blue light covers the area except for the usual spotlight that follows Showtime on his way to the ring. He acknowledges different members of the crowd by pointing at them and winking at some of the ladies
Harrys: Introducing first, from Winnipeg, Canada, weighing in at 213 pounds, Showtime Cougar!
Copeland: If he is successful as he hopes to be, this will be only Showtimes second attempt at going after the World Heavyweight Championship, but the first time he would be challenging without surprise means
Cohen: So good luck to that challenge
Showtime climbs into the rings and poses on top of the turnbuckle and turns to face the stage as his music fades out with him waiting for his opponent.

Everest comes out to a wave of boos from the crowd, he provides a straight pose with acknowledging the crowd before heading down the ramp, keeping his eyes gazed on Showtime.
Harrys: His opponent, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 205 pounds, Everest!
Copeland: Currently as it stands, Everest will be heading to his third Unscripted, a feat he only shares with Titus, but will this be his second Unscripted being involved in a Championship match? Last time he was there, he lost the World Title to Steamboat Ricky!
Cohen: And this year he will he claim it back from Vengeance, its very fitting isnt it?
Everest climbs inside the ring and gives the straight pose again before looking at Showtime as both men go to stand at opposite corners, keeping each others gaze the referee looks between them and signals for the bell to get the match under way. They leave their corners and circle around the ring, still keeping an eye on each other before they both stop in a stance and slowly move closer to each other, daring the other to make the first move. They lock hands, keeping it to close quarters as they try to force their opponent back but neither is budging, but with a sudden motion, Everest uses his strength to force Showtime back who uses the momentum to roll to his back with his hands still holding to Everest and sends them rolling behind, getting back to his feet on the opposite side as Showtime uses the pace to get up from the mat and leap in the air to land a dropkick which gets a round of applause from the crowd.
Both men keep a distance as neither wants to let up in the early going, Everest makes a pace at Showtime but draws back the moment he tries to get near to anticipate Everests next move. This happens for a moments until Everest makes a run at Showtime who sidesteps and Everest stops at the turnbuckle by holding on to the ropes. Showtime follows after but is met with a quick elbow from the former World Champion, who uses the opportunity to drop Showtime which a neckbreaker from behind followed by a quick cover 1

.kickout by Showtime. Both get back to their feet without any problem as they meet once again, this time with Everest forcing Showtime against the ropes, irish whipping him in the progress, but the rebound, Showtime hits a flying elbow, taking down Everest whos quick to his feet only to caught by an armdrag, followed by a second, then a third which is turned into an arm wrench by Showtime, stretching the arm at full length.
Copeland: Wise moves by Showtime here, if he takes out his arm, it will make it difficult to apply the Rock Slide here.
Cohen: Which is something we dont want to see given how much of a beautiful move it is!
Everest stretches to get a foot on the bottom as Showtime releases the hold and is told by the referee to back off a few paces to allow Everest a chance to get up, once Everest is in a good position, Showtime comes at a pace and is met with a sudden belly to belly suplex by Everest, he waits for Showtime to get up again and throws him with the same move, but holds his arm, preventing him from making a cover attempt. Showtime is up to his feet as Everest tries to hide his possible injury with a right but Showtime ducks under and hits a left, followed by another and a third before taking down Everest with a clothesline. He gets up to his feet and drops a leg, landing on Everests shoulder, who holds it in pain, Showtime backs off for a moment and stands in the corner, giving Everest some time to get back up. When he does so, he immediately has Showtime on him again who locks the arm behind Everests back, causing more pain to the shoulder, Everests free arm is swinging around, reflecting the agony he is in, he tries to reach for the ropes but Showtime holds him back, the referee gets up close to ask Everest if he wants to quit but he is shoved away and while the refs back in turned, Everest heel kicks Showtime to give him a low blow, releasing the hold and dropping to one knee as Everest tries to shake off the injury before using the chance to hit a float over DDT on him, allowing Everest more time to recover.
Copeland: Everest is going to have a hard time trying to get full momentum going without that shoulder working properly.
Cohen: Everest can handle it, if he can retain a Championship against five other guys, Showtime will be no problem at 75 percent!
Everest rolls steadily out of the ring without trying to aggravate the shoulder, getting some distance between himself and Showtime whos slowly getting himself back up onto his feet. Everest looks under the ring and takes a steel chair, holding it in his working arm, Showtime spots it and just sits back in the corner, somewhat mocking Everest who takes offence to the gesture, he slides into the ring with the chair and gets the ref to back off as Everest gets up in Showtimes face proclaiming that he will make Showtime pay, but he shrugs off saying Youll get disqualified! which has Everest baffled because he wants to hurt Showtime but refuses to get disqualified for it, but before a decision is made, Showtime kicks Everest in the gut, dropping the chair, he follows with a right, and another followed by another on the injured shoulder before finishing with an enziguri to take down the former champ, Showtime with the cover 1

kickout by Everest.
Both men get up to their feet as Showtime tries to do another approach of rear offence but Everest elbows him away and gets behind him, locking his arms around to go for a German suplex but his shoulder gives out and Showtime is back on his feet but only for a second as Everest hits a low dropkick on the knee to drop Showtime and uses hiss strong arm to lock in the Mountain Climber, squeezing tight on Showtimes neck as Everest looks on with a smile, proclaiming the match is his as is the World Title, as he keeps tight, Showtimes swaying arms are slowly fading as the ref keeps a close watch, there isnt much movement so the referee lifts Showtimes arm up for one, it drops, he lifts it up for two, which drops as Everest smile maintains, the referee lifts it up for a third up
.and it stands tall as Showtime gets a rush of energy, swinging his arms again and getting to his feet with Everest locked on to his, Showtime clenches his fists and then grabs Everest and proceeds to throw him in a snapmare like move, releasing the hold in the progress.
Copeland: I wonder how much of an impact the Mountain Climber has had there.
Cohen: Just enough so the Rock Slide will be double effective!
Both men are up as Showtime heads over to Everest who turns to face him and locks him ready for the Rock Slide, hes about to take it but Showtime gives a few blows before hitting the injured arm to brake the hold before the damage was done, Everest holds on to the shoulder as he backs into a the corner, with Showtime going for some running offence, which Everest ducks under and lifts Showtime up, landing on the turnbuckle in an uncomfortable position. Everest follows suit to climb up and look for the super backdrop to the floor, he gets Showtime up and goes with the move but somehow during midair, Showtime counters it into a modified Final Act, making Everest land head first. Both men are out of it but Showtime slowly rolls closer to Everest and pushes him onto his back, getting the arm over 1

Harrys: Here is your winner
Showtime is up to his feet right as Vengeance emerges in the ring and starts unloading on the victory tonight, he hits the Judge, Jury and Executioner in the mix, taking down the showman, Tarja appears at ringside, grabbing Showtimes wrist and handcuffing it to the ropes, followed by the other. Vengeance goes to grab the chair from earlier, laying by the far corner, but the crowd cheers as Titus runs and slides in, unleashing right hands on Vengeance, causing him to drop the chair as Showtime slowly comes to, Vengeance is backed away as Titus roars out to the cheering out but is met with a Rock Slide by Everest who is then followed by a big boot from Vengeance, clearing the ring of interference, leaving him and Showtime alone. He goes back to grab the chair and has an intense look in his eyes.
Copeland: No Vengeance, come on, he cant defend himself!
Just as turns to face Showtime and paces slowly over, the lights go out which gets the crowd excited, they come back on and between Showtime and Vengeance stands Ty Burna, who stares at the World Champion who just smiles back and offers the chair to Ty who looks back at Showtime who is slowly stirring and realises his rival is there. Ty declines the chair and heads over to Showtime, he lifts his head up as Showtime looks angrily at his foe, Ty stands tall and takes a few paces back with a smile, with Vengeance watching. Ty takes a few paces and then hits Vengeance with the Consecrated Banishment which gets the crowd in a frenzy and on the outside, Serafina attacks Tarja from behind, by grabbing her by the hair and slamming her face first into the floor, she grabs the keys from out of her hand and throws them to Ty who looks at Showtime but the sick looking smile remains, he takes a few paces and stands dominantly over Showtime who stands waiting for the attack to happen, only for Ty to drop down to a knee and use the key to unlock Showtime from the cuffs as Showtime sees with confusion as Ty offers to help him out of the ring as Titus is back to rejoin. Titus takes Showtime and carries him to the back with Ty and Serafina in pursuit, Titus gives Ty the odd look or two as if he shouldnt trust him. They head up the ramp and leave the stand with Ty and Serafina standing at the top who turn around to look back as Vengeance sits up suddenly and stares intently at Ty who just stares back without showing a sign of emotion.
Copeland: Has the light starting to crack through the Dark Alliance? Has Ty Burna seen the situation for what it is
I dont know but maybe more answers will come when Ty returns to the ring tomorrow at Ascension in his own qualifying match for the Hell in a Cell. Vance Bateman will no doubt been watching and maybe more about how he will choose his contender will pan out. Until then, I am Sebastian Copeland with Jack Cohen, I will see you next week on Meltdown!
