JANUARY 18, 2025

MALL OF AMERICA

BLOOMINGTON, MINNESOTA

 

The scene opens in a dimly lit arena lobby bustling with activity. Wrestlers mill about, promoters bark into phones, and aspiring talents shadowbox or pose for photos. Amid the chaos, Ralph "El Orador" Silva stands out like a beacon of calm and authority. Dressed in his signature light blue suit, he adjusts his tie and flashes a polite yet confident smile as a cameraman approaches him. The MAWL logo shines brightly on a backdrop behind him.

 

Ralph Silva:

"Ah, MAWL... the proving ground of dreams and the birthplace of legends." (He gestures expansively, his voice smooth and commanding.) "I’ve stood in many arenas like this, surrounded by men and women chasing the ever-elusive spotlight. But today? Today, I am here not just as a spectator but as a seeker."

 

He folds his hands in front of him, exuding poise as the camera zooms in slightly.

 

Ralph Silva:

"You see, the world of professional wrestling is not simply a collection of matches and rivalries—it is a tapestry woven with stories, passion, and power. And a tapestry is only as strong as the threads that hold it together. Right now, I am searching for two such threads, two individuals who can redefine the art of tag team wrestling."

 

Ralph steps forward, walking through the lobby as the camera follows. He stops near a bulletin board covered in posters and match cards.

 

Ralph Silva:

"Tag team wrestling is a symphony when done correctly. It requires rhythm, chemistry, and an unshakable trust between partners. I’m here in MAWL because I know this is where the unpolished gems lie. Where the raw potential waits to be sculpted into greatness."

 

He turns to face the camera directly, his piercing brown eyes narrowing slightly, his voice gaining intensity.

 

Ralph Silva:

"The world has seen dominant tag teams before. But what I am building will not merely dominate—it will define an era. I am looking for a balance of power and precision, aggression and finesse. A team that can break through every barrier, outsmart every opponent, and capture the hearts of the audience while crushing the spirit of their rivals."

 

Ralph pauses, his smile softening into something more personal, almost nostalgic.

 

Ralph Silva:

"And while I build this future, I cannot ignore the past. Wrestling has a way of bringing the ghosts of yesterday into the spotlight of today. So, should a familiar face cross my path—" (his voice sharpens) "—I’ll be ready to face it. Whether to mend a bond or bury it deeper, that... remains to be seen."

 

He smirks, the enigmatic statement hanging in the air. The camera pans down to his polished black shoes before pulling back up as Ralph straightens his tie, his demeanor once again polished and professional.

 

Ralph Silva:

"To the talents of MAWL, know this: greatness isn’t given. It is earned. And if you have the courage, the hunger, and the fire, then step forward. Let me hear your story, and perhaps, together, we’ll write history."

 

He glances at his watch and nods slightly.

 

Ralph Silva:

"Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have talent to scout and a legacy to build."

 

With that, he strides confidently through the lobby, the camera lingering on his back as he disappears into the crowd. The scene fades to black, leaving behind the hum of the bustling arena and the sense that Ralph Silva’s presence has just altered the course of MAWL forever.

 

 

COLIN MCRAE AND BIANCA DIAZ  sit in their chairs as "Come Together" by Soundgarden blares through the speakers. They are ebullient.

 

 

Bianca: How are we all doing today??

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Bianca: I am Bianca Diaz! 

 

Colin: And I am Colin McRae and somehow, some way we have made it to the end of this W2, in many ways the last of its kind before we restructure the event next year.  So you are all here in witness to history. And to those of you who received comp tickets for yesterday's unexpected early end, thank you for coming back and seeing this through with us. We think it will be worth it.

 

The lights in the arena dim suddenly, plunging the crowd into near darkness. A faint crimson glow begins to radiate from the stage as a low, ominous drumbeat echoes through the speakers. Whispers, faint and eerie, fill the air. They seem to come from everywhere and nowhere all at once, sending chills through the audience. The whispers grow louder, and a thick, blood-red mist begins to creep down the ramp, blanketing the stage.

The crowd falls into an uneasy silence as Sombras emerges from the shadows.

 

 

Moving with eerie grace, he steps through the mist. His glowing, predatory eyes scan the crowd, piercing through the darkness. His movements are smooth, almost otherworldly, as he glides down the ramp. The whispers grow more intense as he approaches the ring.

Moments later, Mal Sangre appears on the stage.

 

 

Towering and imposing, Mal Sangre strides forward, his fiery eyes burning through the mist. His powerful frame radiates menace with each deliberate step. The two figures move in unison, their presence suffocating, their silhouettes illuminated by the blood-red glow. The audience doesn’t know whether to cheer, boo, or simply remain frozen in place.

The ring is bathed in a single crimson spotlight as Sombras slides in fluidly, crouching low in one corner like a predator stalking its prey. Mal Sangre climbs over the top rope, his massive frame filling the ring as he stands tall and imposes his will on the space. The whispers fade into silence, replaced by the heavy drumbeat that continues to thrum ominously.

Mal Sangre raises a microphone to his lips. His deep, growling voice cuts through the tension.

Mal Sangre: “We… are La Sangre Maldita. The cursed bloodline. The forgotten kings.”

He pauses, letting his fiery eyes scan the crowd. His voice carries weight, commanding the room as he continues.

Mal Sangre: “We do not come for your cheers… or your respect. We do not fight for glory. We fight because we must. Because the blood demands it. Every drop spilled in this ring... every cry of pain... feeds the curse that binds us.”

The crowd murmurs, their unease growing.

Sombras rises slowly from his crouched position, taking the microphone. His voice is soft but sharp, chilling in its tone.

Sombras: “You cannot escape the shadows. You cannot outrun the blood. We are your curse, and when we enter this ring… your fate is sealed.”

Mal Sangre steps forward, his voice booming once more.

Mal Sangre: “The curse is eternal. This place, MAWL… is now ours. And we will spread our suffering. We will spread our wrath.”

Sombras moves to his side, his glowing eyes locked on the camera. A faint, unsettling smirk plays on his lips.

Mal Sangre: “The blood will not stop,” 

Mal Sangre whispers, his voice barely audible but somehow cutting through the silence. 

Mal Sangre: “It will take… everything.”

Mal Sangre raises his arms, and the blood-red mist thickens, swirling around the ring. The crimson glow intensifies as Sombras spreads his arms wide, his smirk growing more sinister. The whispers return, louder this time, filling the arena with an ominous hum.

And then, just as suddenly as it began, the mist consumes the ring entirely. The lights flicker, plunging the arena into darkness for a moment. When the lights return, the ring is empty.

La Sangre Maldita has vanished.

The crowd is left in stunned silence, the ominous whispers lingering in the air. A single phrase echoes through the speakers one last time.

“The curse… has arrived.”

 

Colin: Do you think that these two were responsible for the destruction we witnessed yesterday?

 

Bianca: I would put my money on it.

 

Colin: Before today gets too much further off the rails, let's get to our first match! So Bloomingdale! ARE YOU READY!

 

The crowd goes nuts. 

 

Bianca: We have Ash Greaves and Andra Jones at the ready, looking to kick us off.

 

 

Ash: The following Tag Team Contest is scheduled for one fall!

 

 

Ricky Martin "Livin' La Vida Loca" plays as KALPANA and NEON JUAN GUYVERNO salsa down the stage, arrogant looks on both of their faces.

 

 

Ash: First, the team of Neon Juan Guyverno and "Deep Space 10" Kalpana, Dancing with the Stars!

 

Muse "Hysteria" plays through the arena. As the drums kick in, fireworks explode at gradually higher rates. When the drum fill into the main riff plays STING RAY STEVE THUNDER AND DARIA DONNER jump onto the ramp to a lightning-style firework. The crowd goes nuts and they run down high fiving everyone before flipping into the ring together.

 

 

Ash: And their opponents, from Delaware, the team of Sting Ray Steve Thunder and Delaware Daredevil Daria Donner, DONNERSTORM!

 

Colin: It's crazy to think that two weeks could create so much history and so much animosity. Thunder and Guyverno had an altercation before this even began and Guyverno lost his contract opportunity because Thunder called out his creepy nature. Through a series of manipulations, Juan was able to weasel this last chance to be hired. 

 

Bianca: And Kalpana and Daria Donner was supposed to be resolved yesterday until the absolute decimation of the roster, but Kalpana elbowed her way into this match. If the Storm wins, this will likely be their last square-off. If not, this hatred will follow them back to Path. Here we go.

 

The bell rings. Kalpana and Daria Donner start the match.

 

Colin: And Donner with the quick fists from the start, running across the ropes and Blockbuster! Cartwheel into a frog splash! Going for the quick pin but Kalpana gets the shoulder up. Daria gets off the pin, but throwing quick jabs to the face, off the ropes and basement dropkick. Kalpana rolls back and Donner charges, Kalpana with a flapjack! Kalpana sitting on Donner's back and locks in a dragon sleeper! Giving her some cross chops for flavor! Daria powers throw pretty easily and makes it to the ropes. Kal lets go but a stomp for emphasis. 

 

Bianca: Donner getting herself to the ropes and Kalpana running back and here she comes with that corkscrew dropkick! Donner to the outside! Kalpana going for the run and Thunder shakes the rope! Kalpana tumbles to the ringside! 

 

Colin: Daria and Kalpana throwing fists at each other ringside.

 

1!

 

Colin: Kalpana tries to Irish Whip Daria but Daria reverses it and into the post Kalpana goes! 

 

2!

 

Bianca: Daria with a leg lariat and she rolls inside. Tag to Thunder. Thunder loading himself off the ropes, clears the hurdle and Swanton Bomb to Kalpana on the outside! The count restarts.

 

1!

 

Bianca: Thunder with a spinning Michinoku to Kalpana and throws her in the ring. Thunder goes for the arm wringer flip to Kalpana but Kalpana reverses it and drives her fist into Thunder's face. Hair pull and punches and deadlifts Thunder into spinning Jackhammer! You can hear the reverberation on the mat! A snap fisherman and she goes for the pin but Thunder rolls out. Thunder coming off the ropes but Juan knees him in the back.

 

Colin: It distracts Thunder long enough for Kalpana to hit her corkscrew dropkick to the back! Thunder stumbles and Juan takes advantage to do a sunset flip powerbomb! Back out, Kalpana tags Juan in and they throw Thunder off the ropes, Thunder comes back with a jumping double clothesline! Unbelievable reversal.

 

Bianca: Juan goes down to the clothesline but springboards himself back up and a jumping roundhouse. Thunder attempts a mid kick but Juan flips over it and hits Thunder with the kangaroo kick! Juan tries for the spinning wheel kick, Thunder ducks and tries to catch him into a German, but Juan uses the ropes to recoil his feet and roll over Thunder, trying for the poison rana but Thunder cartwheels to catch the landing, going for the floatover neckbreaker but Juan catches him into a back suplex no Thunder turns it into a springboard bulldog! Thunder tags Donner back in. 

 

Colin: Donner with the arm whip and dropkick! She quickly turns that into a headscissors driver! We have four insanely talented competitors in the ring, and you can see that they're giving it everything. Juan with the hurricanrana and Donner takes the bump, but she's back on her feet quickly and runs back at Guyverno, spinning back wheel kick! She lifts him up and it looks we're getting the 5D but NO JUAN TURNS IT INTO A TILT A WHIRL NECKBREAKER!

 

Bianca: Juan drapes her on the rope, running back and he's going for the Juan Shot but Daria leapfrogs it and FLOAT OVER NECKBREAKER! Daria crashes to the floor again and Juan crumples on that middle rope before falling over onto the apron. And Juan slides that glow bracelet off his wrist.

 

1!

 

Colin: Daria ducks it and Spinebuster onto the announcer table! Hi Daria! 

 

Daria: Hi Colin. Hi Bianca.

 

2!

 

Colin: Well that was nice. And Daria whips Juan into the stairs, less nice.

 

3!

 

Bianca: Daria back in the ring. Juan trying to get to his feet. 

 

4!

 

Colin: Daria tags Steve back in, Juan up to the apron and Steve just kicks him right back down with a baseball slide!

 

5!

 

Bianca: Steve doing the Dikembe finger wag is going to end up a meme I'm sure of it. And Steve loading himself back to go over the ropes and he's coming it looks like to hit the Venom Spike! Over and Juan slides him off the cutter! Thunder hits the barricade!

 

1!

 

Colin: Juan throwing Steve into the barricade now, that's just a big ol' brutality. 

 

2!

 

Bianca: Juan into the ring now, tags Kalpana back in. 

 

3!

 

Colin: Kalpana seems perfectly content to let Thunder just lay out there, as she lays on the ropes and blows on her nails.

 

4!

 

Bianca: Not if Daria has anything to say about it. Daria going full Ultimate Warrior on the ropes! And Thunder is in and Kalpana is out! Kalpana grousing as she gets back in the ring, Thunder greets her with a spinning Blue Thunder Bomb!

 

1!

2!

 

Bianca: Kalpana with the reversal cover!

 

1!

2!

 

Colin: Thunder up, and hurricanrana. Thunder off the ropes, dropkicks Juan off the apron! Rolling from the dropkick into a Rolling Thunder Flatliner to Kalpana! Now we're getting somewhere! Hoists Kalpana up on his shoulders, fireman's carry, tag to Donner and Donner with the shooting star OH WAIT THAT'S A VENOM SPIKE! That was an assisted Venom Spike, or as they like to say in Delaware, a Donner Deal! Donner with the cover!

 

1!

2!

3!

 

DonnerStorm win by pinfall after the Donner Deal to Kalpana!

 

 

Muse "Hysteria" plays as Thunder and Donner hug and Thunder raises Donner's arm with a big smile.

 

Colin: And you can see right there that after two weeks of insanity, Daria Donner is actually truly ecstatic and living her dream. 

 

Bianca: Thunder and Donner will have plenty to celebrate on their way to the next Road to Rio match, a plane ride Neon Juan and Kalpana will not be taking with them. 

 

Colin: And the two of them are pretty much going right to the airport from here, right? So it's not like Kalpana will have time to retaliate. I'm sure Kalpana is questioning some of her choices at this point, some of her actions that have led this opportunity to slip away from her twice. 

 

Bianca: I don't know that Kalpana is capable of that kind of reflection in this iteration of her. There's a line between confidence and arrogance, Colin, women are often assumed to be arrogant when they're simply confident but the difference is in if you can walk the walk and Kalpana was not able to do so. 

 

Colin: Our next match will be an Next Level Match, three cells stacked, but while we're setting that up, we were sent this advertisement and asked to air.  So, enjoy.

 

 

Scene opens with mariachi music blasting way too loud, drowning out children’s laughter in a backyard. El Gallito Loco sprints into frame, flapping his arms wildly, startling a nearby grandma holding a plate of nachos. Tortuga de Acero shuffles in behind him, holding a piñata shaped like a turtle.

 

 

El Gallito Loco: (shouting, way too loud)

"HELLO, PARTY PEOPLE! Is your celebration missing ACTION, EXCITEMENT, and… a touch of awkwardness?"

 

Tortuga de Acero: (nervously adjusting his mask)

"Probably not the last part, but hey, we’re here anyway!"

 

Cut to a kid’s party where El Gallito Loco is showing off with overly dramatic martial arts moves near the snack table. He accidentally knocks over a bowl of guacamole, and Tortuga dives to catch it in slow motion but misses. They freeze awkwardly as the kids boo.

 

El Gallito Loco: (recovering, pointing dramatically)

"Behold! Los Héroes de la Calle are here to save your party! We bring lucha libre excitement to YOUR backyard, living room, or moderately sized conference room!"

 

 

Tortuga de Acero: (muttering, off-camera)

"Still not sure why anyone would wrestle in a conference room..."

 

Cut to El Gallito climbing onto a wobbly picnic table to demonstrate his "Flying Rooster Dive." He jumps off with gusto but overshoots the mat and lands in a kiddie pool. Tortuga sighs and retrieves him with a pool skimmer.

 

El Gallito Loco: (soaking wet, trying to be cool)

"THIS could be your party. Amazing, right?"

 

Tortuga de Acero: (shrugging)

"Or at least… unique."

 

Cut to Tortuga slowly crawling into the ring they set up in a backyard. The kids cheer sarcastically.

 

Tortuga de Acero: (pausing to catch his breath mid-crawl)

"And don’t worry—our entrances are 100% family-friendly… and 80% on time."

 

El Gallito Loco: (interrupting, shouting)

"But WAIT! There’s more! We don’t just wrestle—we entertain! We do balloon animals, awkward photo ops, and we even—"

 

Tortuga cuts him off by holding up a tray of cupcakes with icing messily shaped like lucha masks. The kids snatch them aggressively.

 

Tortuga de Acero:

"—bring snacks! Sort of."

 

Cut to a montage of their "signature moves."

 

El Gallito performs his "Flying Rooster Dive," overshooting again and landing on Tortuga.

 

Tortuga awkwardly picks up a kid to demonstrate the "Turtle Toss," but he drops the kid halfway, and the kid rolls safely onto a beanbag.

 

They attempt their finisher, "La Patada de la Calle," but mistime it, kicking each other and falling over dramatically.

Cut to El Gallito and Tortuga standing proudly in front of a half-collapsed bounce house with a single deflated balloon in the background.

 

El Gallito Loco: (striking an exaggerated pose)

"So what are you waiting for? Book us NOW and make your party the talk of the neighborhood!"

 

Tortuga de Acero: (hesitant)

"Yeah… uh, but not like… for the wrong reasons."

 

The camera zooms in awkwardly close to their faces. Tortuga looks unsure while El Gallito grins confidently.

 

Voiceover: (overly enthusiastic)

"Los Héroes de la Calle! Call now for the ultimate, semi-professional lucha libre experience! Birthdays! Bar mitzvahs! Baby showers! We do it all!"

 

On-screen text appears: "Los Héroes de la Calle – For Parties, Kind Of. Call now: 555-123-WRESTLE."

 

The mariachi music swells dramatically as El Gallito attempts another backflip, crashes into a piñata, and candy spills everywhere. Tortuga sighs and starts picking up candy, mumbling:

"Do we get paid extra for this…?"

 

 

Screen fades to black as a kid yells:

"This is the best worst party ever!"

 

Colin: I would rent them for a birthday party for your kids.

 

Bianca: Don't you mean your kids?

 

Colin: I do not.

 

Ash Greaves stands in the bottom ring, as three cells with doors are stacked on top of each other. 

 

 

Ash: The following contest is a Next Level Match, and is for the Trios Title!

 

 

Ash: One competitor from each team will start on each level. Upon eliminating the other two competitors, they will then go to one of the other levels to assist. This will continue until only representatives from one team remains, and that team will be crowned the trios champions! Joining referee Andra Jones in the bottom level will be Mark Maawa in the middle level and Iliana Domingo-West in the top level. 

 

 

Colin: So it's a similar concept to the Four Chambers, only instead the cells are stacked and you can come in as soon as you're done with your level rather than waiting for all the cells to be done. 

 

Halestorm "Dirty Work" plays as Zora Luthor, Morgan Maverick, and Imogen strut out, preening and mocking the fans.

 

 

Ash: First, the team of the Reflection of Perfection Imogen, Philly Phirebrand Morgan Maverick, and the Corporate Corruptor Zora Luthor, the Nor'Easter! 

 

Morgan enters the bottom, while Imogen and Zora step on the lift, that takes Imogen to the middle and Zora to the top. DNCE "Cake by the Ocean" plays as Sprinkl, Syndy Sweet, and Sugar Cooki fist pump down the ramp. 

 

 

Ash: Next, the team of Sprinkl, Sugar Cooki, and Sinful Syndy Sweet, SugarKoma!

 

Sprinkl enters the bottom cell, while Syndy and Sugar ride the lift with Syndy getting off in the middle and Sugar getting off at the top. AWOLNATION feat. Del the Funky Homosapien "I Am Happy!" plays as Devon Delight, Sarah Tonin, and Good Dude Greg Arias jog out high fiving fans.

 

 

Ash: And finally, the team of the Pride of Portland Devon Delight, The Champ of Cheer Sarah Tonin, and Good Dude Greg Arias, Joy Addition! 

 

Colin: Interesting that they're announcing Greg as an official part of the team. He'd be a great addition, mind.

 

Greg enters at the bottom, Sarah and Devon take the lift where Devon gets off in the middle and Sarah gets off at the top. The bell rings.

 

Colin: And Morgan immediately with the low blow to Sprinkl and Greg! Hitting the Phire in the Hole on Sprinkl and then on Greg! Goes for the pin to Sprinkl-

 

1!

 

Bianca: And Sprinkl up. Devon Delight with a spirited flipping neckbreaker to both Imogen and Syndy! Zora hits a solid powerslam on Sarah. Arias with a Dudebuster to Sprinkl! They're wasting no time on the bottom trying to get to the end of this. Covering, 

 

1!

2!

3!

 

Sprinkl is eliminated by Good Dude Greg Arias with the Dudebuster and Pin!

 

 

Bianca: And Sprinkl being the weak link in the team doesn't surprise me but still a very quick exit.

 

Colin: Two signatures will do that to you. A forearm shot by Imogen to Syndy. Sugar with a short arm lariat to Sarah. Greg grappling with Morgan now and Greg with a running powerslam! Devon in the corner of the cage, takes the run and OREGON TRAIL TO SYNDY! Going for the cover-

 

1!

2!

3!

 

Sinful Syndy Sweet is eliminated by Devon Delight with the Oregon Trail and Pin!

 

 

Colin: And in short order, SugarKoma's chances went from 3 to 1. 

 

Bianca: Meanwhile Zora drills Sarah Tonin with the Pink Slip! Covers!

 

1!

2!

3!

 

Sarah Tonin is eliminated by Zora Luthor with the Pink Slip and Pin!

 

 

Colin: Tough break for Sarah, being the only one of her team on the wrong side of a pin so far. Hip toss by Greg. Imogen raking the eyes of Delight and a stiff punch in the midsection followed by an elbow shot to the head. Zora Luthor with a knee smash and STO to Sugar. 

 

Bianca: Greg taking some control there and a northern lights suplex to Morgan! Solid fist drop by Luthor and a series of stomps! Morgan getting some of that control back with a quick jab combo. Delight with a quick kick to slow down Imogen's momentum. 

 

Colin: Pretty hard to get some big moves in when it's all steel. Meanwhile Morgan's taking more initiative and drills Greg with a spear! Devon follows his quick kick up with a flip neckbreaker! Sugar finally gets a slap in, let's see if she can wrest control from Zora who's been pretty dominant. Greg to his feet now and a quick kick to the midsection of Morgan. Imogen back on her feet and throws Devon into the corner of the cage, running up with Your Opinion! Takes the pin on Devon but he gets the shoulder up easily. 

 

Bianca: And Luthor irritated by that slap, tries to swing but Cooki ducks and Cooki Cutter! 

 

1!

2!

3!

 

Zora Luthor is eliminated by Sugar Cooki with the Cooki Cutter and Pin!

 

 

Colin: Holy Hell! Zora was dominating for the entirety of the match but Sugar changed it all in an instant! Sugar has her choice now of middle or bottom, I think she's going to head down to the bottom.

 

Bianca: That's a smart move, you have a friendly face down there where the middle would be more dangerous. Greg gets a quick punch in, I would have done more knowing you're about to enter a handicap situation. Devon gets a quick karate kick combo in and Sugar has made it in to the bottom cell, where she drills Arias with a Cooki Cutter! But Arias gets his shoulder up before 1. Imogen with a spinning powerslam on Devon and you can feel the bones take the bruise. 

 

Colin: As the crane removes the top cell, Sugar drills Arias with a brainbuster! And I realize now that this is not a handicap situation as that would be Sprinkl, but Morgan Maverick is very much also not on Sugar's side. Imogen wrecks Delight with a chokeslam! And Cooki realizing now that Morgan is also competition, off the middle rope and Cooki Cutter! Going for the pin but Morgan gets the rope. 

 

Bianca: Imogen with a quick eye rake to Delight, Delight responds with a jab. Cooki with a discus lariat to Arias, and the Sitdown Atomic Drop, oh it looks like Greg's getting on Santa's Lap! Greg taps out!

 

Good Dude Greg Arias is eliminated by Submission with Santa's Lap!

 

 

Bianca: Devon Delight is the last one holding it together for Joy Addition! And Imogen rakes his eyes again! Maverick with a devastating powerslam to Sugar Cooki! Devon gets a flipping neckbreaker on Imogen. Maverick with a quick punch to Cooki. Devon with a quick two-punch combo and follows it up with an elbow shot. Sugar throws a clothesline Morgan's way, and picks her up for a second using the ol' ripcord method. Devon able to back up and going for the run, hits Imogen now with the Oregon Trail!! 

 

1!

2!

3!

 

Imogen is eliminated by Devon Delight with the Oregon Trail!

 

 

Colin: And Devon Delight heads down to the bottom cell to join the remaining two. One left for each team. And Sugar Cooki greats Devon with a shining wizard! 

 

1!

 

Bianca: And Devon is up! And Morgan with a jumping front dropkick, one foot for each of her competitors! Delight with an enziguiri for Sugar. She returns the favor with a Polish Hammer. And Morgan follows that up with the low blow and the Phire in the Hole! Goes for the pin-

 

1!

2!

3!

 

Devon Delight is eliminated by Morgan Maverick with the Phire in the Hole and Pin!

 

 

Colin: Down to the final two! A sole survivor situation, one of these women will take home the belts for their teams. And Sugar gets it going throwing Maverick off the ropes and a knee to the midsection. And a series of stomps to follow that up. A fist drop just to switch it up. And picks her up for a Sugar Crash! Going for the cover but Maverick to the ropes before 1 and kick to Sugar's side for good measure. 

 

Bianca: Sugar responds with a punch, and it looks like we may be exchanging blows. A good back and forth but Sugar wraps it up with a single leg dropkick! And a snap suplex! Morgan rolls up from the snap suplex with a rollicking boot. And a sidewalk slam! Cooki backs her off with an eye gouge and a series of bionic elbows. 

 

Colin: Maverick comes back with a stiff face punch and a chokeslam! Sugar down, Maverick with a jumping elbow. And a jumping knee to the face. Sugar trips her in response. A real back and forth between these two. Low kick by Maverick. And Sugar ups it with a leg DDT!

 

Bianca: Sugar is not having any of Maverick's nonsense and she wishbones her! Maverick is looking pretty beat up and she still has to go through the tournament! 

 

Colin: Maverick hobbling a bit, but able to clamp her legs back around Sugar and toss her. Quick series of punches to the face of Sugar and a headbutt! Back to the punches with a boxing combo. Sugar catches the fist and turn it into an armbar headlock! Maverick barely breaks free but takes a forearm shot for her trouble. Maverick returns the forearm shot. 

 

Bianca: Maverick trying to get a second one in but hip toss by Sugar and a kick to the back of the head. Jumping elbow! Second jumping elbow! Maverick is looking absolutely devastated in there but still holding on, but Sugar's got the Santa's Lap locked in and that's all she wrote. Maverick is passed out, Andra checking the arms, and 1, 2, 3. SugarKoma does it!

 

Morgan Maverick is eliminated by Sugar Cooki with the Santa's Lap Submission!

 

 

Ash: Here are your winners and the Inaugural Trios Champions, Sugar Cooki, Sinful Syndy Sweet, and Sprinkl! SugarKoma!

 

 

Lily Martin runs down.

 

 

Colin: What the hell is she doing here?

 

Lily: Surprise bitches, I've been reinstated. And since two of our W2 first rounders are here, I declare this match for advancement in the W2.

 

 

Zora Luthor enters the ring and does a kick on Morgan then covers her! Lily counts.

 

1!

2!

3!

 

Zora Luthor wins by Pinfall with a Kick to Advance to Round 2.

 

 

Lily: Here is your winner and advancing in the W2 tournament, Zora Luthor!

 

The crowd boos.

 

Colin: It's bad enough that she takes advantage, but of her own teammate. Simply sick.

 

Bianca: It's part of the game, Colin. A win's a win. But you're not wrong.

 

Colin: Well, the cell is still here and I imagine that means our next match is going to be very important.

 

Bianca: I suspect you might be right, Colin.

 

Ash enters the ring.

 

 

Ash: The following contest is a fatal four-way hell in the cell match scheduled for one fall, and it is for control of MAWL! Before we introduce our competitors, let me first introduce our special guest referee, TV's Danielle Fishel!

 

 

Colin: I knew she was a wrestling fan but I'd be lying if I said I saw this coming.

 

Bianca: We wanted someone with no skin in the game, and unless there's a MAWL contract waiting for Danielle Fishel at the end of all this, I think this may be an okay choice.

 

The lights turn people and fog fills the arena area as Faith No More "Be Aggressive" plays. Baz McCobb comes out in a full robe and skull design.

 

 

Ash: First, from Baltimore, Maryland, the former CEO of Eastern Kaos Wrestling, Baz McCobb!

 

Bianca: I can't tell if this match will be one to pass by or if these four will be surprisingly good competitors, but I guess we'll have to see.

 

The Killers "The Man" plays as Marvin Patel struts out, surrounded by his entourage.

 

 

Ash: From Malibu, California, the former CEO of Waves of Pain Wrestling, Marvin Patel!

 

Beyonce "Texas Hold 'Em" plays as Elisa Mae He comes out, giving a little line step down the ramp. 

 

 

Ash: From Abilene, Texas, the former CEO of Ring the Belle Wrestling, Elisa Mae He!

 

Bianca: I wonder what song Leila will come out to, I never saw this side of her.

 

KISS "Detroit Rock City" plays as Leila Blake walks out, confident and pointing down the ramp. 

 

 

Ash: And, from Detroit, Michigan, our MAWL CEO, Leila BLAAAAKE!

 

Colin: That's a solid choice. 

 

Bianca: Whatever happens now, our competitors will be sure to have respect for their leader knowing they can walk the walk.

 

The bell rings as the cell re-lowers.

 

Colin: And here we go. McCobb with several solid hammer strikes on Patel. Elisa throws Leila off the ropes and lariat to run her down. McCobb has stated that he wants a return to good old fashioned wrestling and you can see his mission statement here as he bodyslams Patel. Turning his attention to Elisa Mae as he tears her with a suplex. 

 

Bianca: If you had to ask me based on build who'd come out the winner, it's hard not to look at McCobb as the prime candidate. And he's just clearing house here now with a front slam on Blake. McCobb throws a big boot the way of Patel and Patel eats mat but he gets up fairly quickly. Patel and He working together now, throwing McCobb off the ropes and double flapjack.  Blake off the top turnbuckle and a splash that gets a little bit of everyone!

 

Colin: She's throwing fists at He now, another Irish Whip Situation and Blake with a jumping armbar takedown! Got the hold locked on He, Patel kicks her off.

 

Bianca: A little bit of teamwork between Patel and He, but only one person can win. McCobb with a shoulder tackle to Patel, short arm lariat to He, Blake meets him with a dropkick and immediately seems to regret her decision as he launches her with a military press. And Elisa Mae going for the suicide dive to Leila outside! The two of them trading punches around the ring, McCobb throws Patel after them! Patel and He spearing Leila through the door! 

 

Colin: The battle rages outside as Leila seems to be fending off the double-team of Patel and He and Leila Blake CLIMBING THE CELL! He and Patel face a bit of dilemma now. Do they give chase to Blake, do they get back in the ring with McCobb, do they beat the living hell out of each other? Looks like they're choosing Blake. Patel and He climbing the structure now. 

 

Bianca: Leila seems pretty pleased with herself as she goads Patel and He up top, and Patel makes it up first. Leila throwing a series of hard fists now and a Powerbomb onto the top of the Cell! Patel rolls himself back and hits a running lariat. Leila gets up from the lariat and judo flip onto the center of the cell! Patel clearly not a fan of the creaking on that section of the ceiling and trying to make a move for it, Leila hits a half-nelson suplex on the ceiling! That's not a sound place to be and Leila is well aware of this fact. Scoop slam to Patel to further weaken the bars. Here comes Elisa Mae, charging herself up and coming for Leila, LEILA MOVES AND ELISA MAE SPEARS PATEL THROUGH THE CELL CEILING! THEY BOTH COME CRASHING DOWN!

 

Colin: Smart move by Leila Blake as Mae and Patel are crumpled in the ring and she's launching herself...WHOA! DOUBLE ROTATION MOONSAULT AND BAZ MCCOBB IS IN THE LINE OF FIRE! SHE'S COMING TOO FAST TO CATCH! SHE'S GOT HIM DOWN!

Leila Blake wins by Pinfall with a Double Rotation Moonsault on Baz McCobb!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner and STILL the CEO of MAWL, Leila Blake!

 

KISS "Detroit Rock City" plays as Leila has her hand raised and the fans cheer.

 

Bianca: Whatever you may think of Leila Blake's leadership skills, I happen to love them, you gotta respect what just happened there. This was not some corporate slapfest. The CEO of our federation tricked two allies into spearing each other through the ceiling then nailed a double rotation moonsault through that small opening in the cell. Brilliant performance.

 

 

Cristel Bassano has a microphone to Zora Luthor.

 

 

Cristel: So you are now only two steps away from being crowned the W2 champion for 2025. 

 

Zora: That's right.

 

Cristel: I guess my question is, was it worth it?

 

Zora: Excuse you?

 

Cristel: Your partner was splayed out on the ring there and before helping her out you took it upon yourself to jump start the tournament and take advantage.

 

Zora: Let me explain something to you, it's something I got through Imogen's head that made her the success she is today and maybe I'll talk some sense into you as well. Friendship is great, but a singles win means you have to be willing to cut the throat of your mother. There are no friends in tournaments, and there is no peace in second. I hope that Morgan would have been savvy enough to do the same to me if the position were reversed, because that kill em all instinct is the only way you win around here. There's no congeniality award here. 

 

Cristel: Will this mean the end of your team?

 

Zora: What exactly are you trying to do here? Drive a wedge between me and my girls? Get us all split up and angry with each other? You clearly need more of a lesson. Tournaments are not personal. When we need to be a team, we operate as a team. We did what we needed to do to ensure all of us made it in, and now that we're here to dominate, only one of us is going to win. At the end of all this, we'll share drinks or whatever and it will be fine, and we will be holding more gold than you lower class talky types will ever hope to see in your little existences. 

 

Zora bumps Cristel as she leaves.

 

Cristel: Back to you.

 

 

Colin and Bianca sit at their desk.

 

 

Colin: That's about what I expected.

 

Bianca: She sure can be cold. 

 

Colin: And now we're going into the next part of our wild adventure, as we prepare to send a team off on their wild adventure. Ash?

 

Ash Greaves and Andra Jones stand in the ring.

 

 

Ash: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.

 

The lights give a stained-glass like feeling as the colors rotate. The instrumental of "CASTLE OF GLASS" by Linkin Park plays and as the drums hit, Gil and Perry stand on the center of the stage and pound fists which causes two thin pillars of sparks to arise. They strut down the ramp, giving pump up shouts to the fans who cheer them back. Occasionally they pound a fist each of a fan. When they enter the ring, they both do the square hand smash in synchronicity, then scream and pillars of sparks go off in the ring.

 

 

Ash: First! Unbreakable Gilbert Glass! Unrelenting Perry Payne! THE MANIFESTATION OF DEFENESTRATION!

 

The fans go wild and give a standing ovation.

 

Perry: Aw, y'all are gonna make us cry. It's been an absolute pleasure bein' here with y'all these past few years, makin' a name for ourselves and realizin' we could be more than some kids from glassblowing towns. Maybe one day we'll be back but this new adventure is gonna be a truly wild one and we're in the market to show new fools new windows. But we'll always remember the fed that connected us and made us an inseparable bond. Y'all been real good to us and we're gonna represent you well. 

 

Gilbert: Right...

 

The audience yells back "And Tight!" Gilbert gives a small smile and a nod. Sergio Mendes "Mas Que Nada" plays as  Cass O'Wary, Paulie Parrot and Petey Peacock mime flying in to a loud crowd pop.

 

 

Ash: And their opponents! Accompanied by Cass O'Wart, from Fortaleza, Brazil, Paulie Parrot and Petey Peacock, the Birds of Play!

 

The bell rings. Gilbert and Paulie start.

 

Bianca: And they're off, and Paulie tangles up with Gilbert and spinning piledriver! Going for a pin super early but Gil kicks out. 

 

Colin: That might have turned the crowd on the Birds if they quashed the guests of honor that quickly. But Paulie with a series of quick chops to Gil. Gil sending a couple punches back Paulie's way, a bit of back and forth and Gil gets in a good body blow. Paulie tries to go for the tag but Gil ripcords him into a knee strike. 

 

Bianca: And Paulie grabs the knee and Fisherman Driver! Gil rolls back and gets a few more quick punches in. And Gil with a multiple ripcord-lariat! Lets out a little yell and the crowd joins. Paulie with a chop back. Gil responds with a headbutt. Paulie coming off the ropes to get an attack, caught into a backbreaker! Paulie rolls off and enziguiri followed by a high knee strike. Paulie throws Gil off the ropes and headscissors! Gil comes running back with the fist loaded and Glass Cannon! The cover-

Manifestation of Defenestration wins with a Glass Cannon by Gilbert Glass on Paulie Parrot!

 

 

Ash: Here are your winners, Gilbert Glass and Perry Payne, the Manifestation of Defenestration!

 

Colin: Payne did the talking and Glass did the walking. A definitive win on their final day.

 

Bianca: Not a whole lot needed from Payne or Peacock, but Manifestation can walk into Path with their heads held high.

 

Colin: And we're just about to jump into our Inferno Title Rumble!

 

 

Ash stands in the ring.

 

 

Ash: The following contest is a Rumble match and is for the Inferno Title! And here is the individual who drew Number 1-

 

The lights go green and the projection of a giant eye illuminates the ramp. "Under My Umbrella" by Incubus plays as Iris Correa walks out in her scrubs and high-fives audience members.

 

 

Ash: From Denver, Colorado, the Eye-Con, IRIS CORREA!

 

Bianca: Bad luck for Iris. There's 67 people in this rumble, I doubt she'll make it.

 

GoGoGadjet "No One Likes Us/Fly Eagles Fly Remix" plays. The crowd boos Morgan Maverick, who flicks her hair onstage and struts out, occasionally simultaneously blowing kisses and flipping off the audience.

 

 

Ash: And number 2, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Philly Phirebrand, Morgan Maverick!

 

The bell rings.

 

Colin: And a quick start, Iris with a snap suplex on Morgan. Maverick snaps back with a sharp elbow and eye rake. Maverick attempts a charge move but Iris reverses into a powerslam! And a snapmare by Iris! Iris boots Maverick back towards the ropes but Maverick catches herself.

Imagine Dragons "It's Time" plays on the loudspeaker as Bryce Nice enters the rumble. (Entrant #3)

 

 

Bianca: It's rare to see Bryce Nice as her own singles competitor. And Morgan grapples and strong suplex! And Nice throws a punch right back. Blow for blow. And Bryce gets the Twice as Nice! Double Superkick and Morgan barely holding on, but somehow makes it in, Spike Piledriver! Bryce slow up and with a quick kick.

 

Colin: And we're back to blow for blow. And Morgan ends that with an uppercut/double axe handle combo! She was destroyed not too long ago, but somehow seems to be holding on just fine. And a boot to the midsection of Nice. Nice grabs the leg and catch suplex! Morgan back up, drills with the boot and the Morg! Morgan picks her up and goes for the headbutt but misses and Bryce with a slap and an armdrag!

 

Bianca: Bryce continues to wrench the arm and adds a kick to the head! Bryce traps Morgan on the ropes and clothesline but Morgan somehow holds on!

Dead Pony "RAINBOWS" plays as Rayne Beux runs into the match. (Entrant #4)

 

 

Colin: I don't know who this is, but apparently her name is Rayne Beux. Interesting. Anyway she comes in like a woman on fire hitting Bryce Nice with a Rainbow Cutter from jump. Morgan attempts to capitalize and pick Nice up but Nice reverses it into an overhead belly to belly. Rayne Beux with a brutal tornado DDT to Nice. Think she might know Nice?

 

Bianca: We've seen old rivalries show up so I wouldn't be surprised. And another absolute banger of a Rainbow Cutter to Nice, yeah, this definitely feels like old blood. And she picks her up into a half nelson facebuster. Rayne turns around right into a solid boot from Maverick! 

 

Colin: Nice and Maverick decide to team up, throwing Rayne off the ropes and coming in for a double clothesline, Rayne reverses with a double flip-over neckbreaker!

 

Bianca: Going back to focusing on Rayne, a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. The countdown clock hits! We're about to get our #5!

 

10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1!

 

 Loud-repeating booms fills the arena with big letter ‘D’ showing up in the titantron before it changes to ‘Daniel’ as the soundtrack "Waiting" by Not Forgotten plays through the PA. Daniel walks slowly in his long coat through the ramp down to the ring. His eyes are fixed and focused, locking on to his opponent. Daniel sheds his coat and enters the fray. (Entrant #5)

 

 

Colin: I've heard rumors this man was coming in and it appears to be true! Apparently it's a 2 for 1 deal as he has another more aggressive side to him.

 

Bianca: And Daniel wastes no time getting into the fray, he and Nice hit stereo big boots to send Morgan out of this match!

10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1!

 

Prodigy "Run with the Wolves" plays as Wonderwolf lets a howl out on the apron and runs down to immense cheers. (Entrant #6)

 

 

Bianca: Wonderwolf has landed! This is a big get for MAWL. And he springboards into the ring with a headbutt to Daniel! No time wasted. And a fisherman DDT to Daniel as well. I don't know if the slow and steady approach is going to work against Wonder. Daniel gets up and Wolf hits a clothesline on Daniel, looks like he might go over but Daniel returns the clothesline to keep himself in this.

 

Colin: Wolf undeterred with a solid Northern Lights to Daniel. 

 

Bianca: Maybe this will deter Wolf, a rocking powerbomb by Daniel. And that gives Daniel control as he follows by walking over Wolf. Wolf tries to get up and Daniel takes him back down with a Double Axe Handle. Wolf tries to get up and Daniel repeats it. 

 

Colin: Going for a third but this time Wolf blocks it and Mandible Claw! Daniel doesn't appear to like having someone in his mouth and a stiff punch to the face of Wolf.

Subwoolfer "Give that Wolf a Banana" plays as Banana Ben waves to the crowd and runs in. (Entrant #7)

 

 

Banana Ben pulls out a Banana and when the song says "Give that wolf a banana" he points the banana at Wonderwolf, before entering.

 

Colin: I don't think Wonderwolf found that very amusing. But it's hard to tell with a mask. Regardless (sigh) our next competitor appears to be Banana Ben. Wolf goes for the swing at Ben but Ben jumps it and splashes Daniel. Wolf expecting Daniel to respond but Daniel seeming to ignore this utter stupidity for a moment and charge at Wolf with his Big Bang lariat! 

 

Bianca: Wolf also doesn't seem to care much about Banana Ben, as he hits Daniel with some kicks and locks in his Wunderbar! Normally I'd say submissions are a wasted effort in a rumble but weakening the arms means taking down the effectiveness for elimination and also Wolf's armbars are a thing of beauty.

 

Colin: Ben approaching to offer Wolf the banana, Wolf and Daniel look at each other and Daniel shuts Ben up with a Big Boot.

 

Bianca: That is the right answer.

 

Colin: Well Ben doesn't seem to think so as he bangs their heads together. Banana with a float over DDT to Daniel and follows it up with a jumping splash. Turning his attention to Wolf with a spear. Wolf throws Banana's banana and as Banana looks shocked Wolf continues to work Daniel's arms. Daniel pushes him off and throws Wolf into Banana. He gave Wolf a Banana!

 

Bianca: And now they both give Banana a stereo punch. Daniel goes for another stiff punch but Banana picks him up into an Accordion Rack! And the Samoan Drop! He calls this the Banana Boat! And up Wolf goes and a Banana Boat for him as well! The clock is ticking!

 

10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1!

Colin: And apparently an Indian Prince, a very majestic fighter. He's coming in with a Diving Shoulder Block to Daniel, while Wolf hits a few punches on Banana. Banana returns the favor with a punch and they go blow for blow. Daniel takes Moon to task with a powerbomb. Moon responds by Irish Whipping Daniel, who is done for this rumble!

 

Daniel is eliminated by Moon.

 

Bianca: And Moon with a big chop to Banana. And some trapping headbutts to Wolf. Wolf and Banana respond with a double suplex to Moon. And Wolf gets Moon with a spike piledriver! And one to Banana as well! Banana and Moon both on the ground, Banana climbing Moon and a series of headbutts. And Wolf pushes Banana off to get his turn with the Wunderbar on Moon! Weaken those arms.

 

Colin: Banana gets in Wolf's face about it and that was a bad idea, as Wolf answers him with a midkick and fisherman's DDT. Picks Moon up and Wolf Breaker! Banana sees him on the hold and up to the top, unintentionally assisted leg drop onto Moon! Clock on lock-

 

10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1!

 

Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Rich" plays as Zora Luthor power walks her way out. (Entrant #9)

 

 

Colin: You again? Haven't you done enough?

 

Bianca: Any non-title match person qualifies, Colin. And Luthor and Wolf with a double brainbuster on Moon, who really seems to be attracting most of the attention here. Wolf realizing that others are getting off easy, helps Moon up and stereo fisher DDTs on Luthor and Banana.

 

Colin: Moon rocked with the Pink Slip by Luthor in response, while Wolf gets another Spike on Banana! Banana rolls up and moves away from Wolf to drive Moon down with a jumping bulldog, Wolf gets a quick punch in on Luthor. Banana turns around to punch Wolf.

Moon turns his attention to Wolf with a quick jab, while Banana to his feet, to the turnbuckle, Banana Split Legged Moonsault on Luthor! And another Banana Boat to Wolf as the Countdown Clock ticks away.

 

10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1!

 

Chemical Brothers "Galvanize" plays as Lazer walks out clapping. (Entrant #10)

 

 

Bianca: Didn't Rayne Beux get eliminated?

 

Colin: Apparently this is Lazer, her tag team partner. I can't. But poor Moon is just going through it, first Banana coming for him and then Luthor joining, a full on beatdown, Lazer joins in and a triple Powerbomb from Banana, Luthor, and Lazer and he hits the road.

But Lazer finishes what Luthor started and there goes Wonderwolf, and she comes right back around for Luthor too!

 

Wonderwolf and Zora Luthor eliminated by Lazer.

 

Lazer waits out the clock for our next competitor.

Colin: And Pen Gwen in but already taking a punch from Lazer. Pen Gwen attempts to charge at her but Lazer catches her with a spinning body slam. And some quick punches by Lazer, which turns into more of a boxing combo. Lazer is on a tear and I think primed for a singles push, and stalling suplex! Spinning Northern Lights Driver to Pen Gwen!

 

Bianca: Pen trying to get to her feet but Lazer with a spinebuster! And mounted punches. And Pen reverses and mounted punches back! Lazer can actually get hit! She's been slapping Pen Gwen around for a minute straight, good to see some life in the bird.

Bianca: I didn't know you could read lips.

Colin: I'd heard the rumors, I didn't want to get my hopes up, but it's true. The answer to the question "Who's Next?" in our rumble is the iconic Jackhammer Machine, Goldberg.

 

Bianca: And Goldberg starts us off by spearing Marks out of the ring! Wait, apparently Marks went through the middle rope, so he's still in this, although he may not want to be anymore. Remember, you have to go over the top.

Three Days Grace "Animal I Have Become" plays as Lionheart makes his way to the ring. (Entrant #41)

 

 

Colin: Here we are in our biggest Rumble in MAWL History...even our Spring Fling would have stopped at 40. Bianca, in your experience when in a rumble do you start to really feel like you have a shot at victory?

 

Bianca: There's three schools of thought, Colin. One is the two/thirds rule, so once you get past that point it's smoother sailing. In a rumble this size that would be anyone after entrant 46. The second school of thought is final 10. And the third school of thought, the one I ascribed to in my time, is when you're the last one standing. You're not safe until the bell is rung. 

 

Colin: I think I have to agree. So Marks with a solid piledriver to Ragnarrr now, and following up with a fist drop, as Lionheart enters with a springboard spinning wheel to Goldberg. And JCM ends Hadron's long tenure with an over the head belly to belly out of the ring!

Colin: One of the two men responsible for the destruction and decimation of our roster yesterday, I find it hard to believe that Leila Blake rewarded such madness with this title shot!

Bianca: This appears to be an enhancement talent? I guess? 

 

Colin: In his country Yuri is one of those face of the company types that Kalpana thought she'd be, where you don't need a gimmick if you're that good. Outside...yeah, probably. He's already out, Sangre made quick work of him.

Bianca: This woman is a brutalizer, and she throws him off the ropes for the Vicious Cycle! A Spinning High Elevated Spinebuster! And Sangre didn't expect this, but finally gets a hit in!

Kylie: If all of you would just shut the hell up, maybe this world would be a better place. The fact, the hard cruel truth of the world, is that it doesn't matter how nice you are, it doesn't matter how kind you are, you have one bad day and suddenly the reports are "that's all fake, that's all an act." People want to see you fall. If you go to the wrong federation, they cheer your fall. If you have to call out of matches for medical reasons, they laugh at the opportunities you lose in an unforgiving world and curse you for not being there for them. You cry at a match, they mock. I love this industry and I have always loved this industry, but the people in the stands can eat my entire ass. You fickle, fairweather freaks. Do you want to know why I lost my smile? I didn't lose my smile. I still smile. But it's when I break your hearts the way you'd broken mine. I just don't market it like some naive little 15 year old with bows in my hair anymore. You all compared me to Bayley over at the E, well she knew something, and she stopped playing to you and for you. Because here's the hard, cruel truth. The ability to destroy everything with the touch of a button goes both ways, and I've learned that to destroy is to not be destroyed. I'm here to break all of your hearts.

Colin: And Devon in the ring! Devon Delight is our last rumble entrant! Runs in and back and forth with punches! Devon runs back and spinning wheel kick! JP rolls back and off the ropes and wrecks Devon with a clothesline! Devon and Spears trading a bunch of quick kicks, JP ducks the jumping spin kick, Devon jumps the sweep, Spears catches that jump into a flapjack!

 

Bianca: These two I'm sure are going to put on bangers together, you can already see it. Devon wraps his legs around Spears and brings him down to what seems to be a half a Canadian Destroyer! Spears rolls back and hits Devon with a dropkick. And hey, look who's come to cheer on her partner.

 

 

Bianca: Great to get the support of your tag team partner in what could be your first singles win! 

 

Colin: Especially when it's a title you yourself missed out on. That's friendship. The fans love it, Devon loves it, JP is nonplussed but keeps it moving with a suplex to Devon. Devon rolls himself back and comes in with a float over neckbreaker. Devon runs off the ropes and JP catches him with a flapjack! JP gets the crowd clapping. JP looks like he's going to get the Hit Stick, loads him back...the charge and Devon catches him into a Codebreaker! Sarah looks like she's getting into business mode. 

 

 

Bianca: Devon gets into the Corner and it looks like we're going to get an Oregon Trail! He goes for the run and NO SPEARS REVERSES INTO A RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Picks him up for a Suplex! Brutally driving down Delight! Gives himself some runway and trying for the Hit Stick Again! Drives Devon through the ropes, Devon catches himself on the Ropes, tries to jump in but arm drag by Spears! Spears takes a small run and Springboard Moonsault! He's cheering and getting a clap going, going for the run, Devon is UP and jumps to evade Spears, running a perpendicular, they cross each other again and both going up to a springboard and DEVON GETS THE RAINBOW CUTTER MID AIR! WHOA! 

 

Colin: Devon a bit winded, but making the climb up the turnbuckle, this is always a risk. Makes it up, Sarah signals to the crowd to rise up and cheer! She gets the crowd riled! That's a wingwoman! Devon gives a quick thumbs up to the fan NEVER TURN YOUR BACK JP SPEARS PUSHES DEVON OVER THE END AND HE'S-WAIT-NO! SARAH CATCHES HIM! SARAH CATCHES HIM! THAT'S WHO YOU WANT ON YOUR SIDE.

 

Bianca: She lifts him up, he's reaching to the ropes AND HIGH ANGLE SPINEBUSTER INTO THE STEEL STEPS! D PRESS TO THE STEEL STEPS! SARAH TONIN HAS JUST GIVEN THE MATCH TO JP SPEARS!

 

Devon Delight is eliminated by JP Spears with an assist by Sarah Tonin.

 

Ash: Here is your winner, and the Inaugural Inferno Champion, J! P! SPEARS!

 

 

Colin: NO! SARAH! WHY! Sarah laughs as she picks up Devon and ANOTHER D PRESS! Wait...she's revealing...

 

 

Bianca: Sarah is stumping for Spears! Sarah is stumping for Spears! She lifts Devon up, inverted suplex lock and NO! HEAD FIRST INTO THE STAIRS WITH THE CHEMICAL COMPOUND! Sarah enters the ring and holds up JP's arm! I don't think any of us know what to make of this. But Devon Delight has been uncoupled! 

 

Colin: At least he has Greg Arias.

 

Bianca: True. While we get ready for our next match. Let's throw it backstage where Cristel is talking to Morgan Maverick. Cristel?

 

 

Cristel Bassano is backstage with an irate Morgan Maverick, who is angrily taking off her makeup.

 

 

Cristel: I can't imagine the emotions you must be-

 

Morgan: You know what, Cris? I'm glad. In some ways, I'm glad to be done with this event. I'm glad to be done with this city. And I'm glad to be done with that backstabbing bitch Zora Luthor. Well not done with her. Done with helping her. Next is breaking her.

 

Cristel: So I take it that you were not in fact cool with-

 

Morgan: Hell no. HELL no. I didn't come to this event to make friends or have my Cady moment, I came here to win the damn W2. And while I have to give Leila Blake props for getting me into the Rumble, I also can't blame her for putting me right in the beginning. I've been a shitbag this whole event. And I had fun with it, and I still have it in my back pocket to come back to, but I need to re-explore myself. Maybe take some time in the woods. Which means I'll probably miss the first Madness, but I'll be back before you know it and ready to take revenge on the Nor'Easter. You all lured me in, but I should have guessed when you called New York the best city in the world that the Philly girl was going to be pushed to the back seat. And to the fans worldwide, I'm sorry. Not so much to Minnesota, I maintain that the Vikings suck and we're going to win the Bowl, but to the rest of you. I don't expect you to take me in-damn, I mocked Daria Donner for making this very speech and here I'm sitting-but I will try to make myself worthy of forgiveness. 

 

Cristel: Great. (starting to walk away) Was that a Mean Girls reference?

 

Morgan: (jokingly exaggerated) I know, So fetch, right?

 

 

Colin McRae and Bianca Diaz sit at their desk.

 

 

Colin: I was convinced of her redemption arc until she tried to make fetch happen.

 

Bianca: She was kind of the Gretchen of that group.

 

Colin: So true. Anyway, we have three title matches to go and of course the remainders of the W2. I have been told there have been changes made to the event- the US Title will no longer be Falls Count Anywhere as the Mall wants us to contain what I'm also being told is our last event here to the arena section, it will just be an Extreme Rules Elimination, and as a result the additional referees were sent home.

 

Bianca: They're still pretty bitter about the whole Nickelodeon thing, I guess I can't really blame them. Curious where the W2 will be held next year, but with it opening up we may need more of a stadium anyway. 

 

Colin: The second change is that due to the growing nature of the Rumble - apparently it was only supposed to be 55 people and people just kept getting added in by the board members so by the time it crossed our desk this morning it ballooned to 67, well that's interesting - the Mania Title will now be a Bloodstar Match, with Schmetterling having opened the match to Kid Kross after his way too quick removal from the Rumble. I mean, that's the nature of the Rumble, but that's the kinda guy and kinda champion Schmetterling is that he's looking out for his roster. The Asylum belt will remain an I Quit Match.

 

Bianca: So without further ado, let's get into the final acts of our final day. Starting first with the United States Title Match!

 

 

Ash Greaves and Andra Jones stand in the ring.

 

 

Ash: The following contest is a fatal four way elimination match and is for the United States Title!

 

The lights flash green and yellow, as the guitar riff of The Go! Team "Junior Kickstart" begins. Once the brass hits HAZEL CLARKE runs out to loud cheers. She does a jumping split in mid air as yellow and green fireworks go off. She takes off towards the ring at full speed and then uses the momentum to do the same jumping split over the apron and ropes into the ring, culminating in a split and pointing upwards.

 

 

Ash: First! From Port Maria, Jamaica, the Port Maria Platypus, HAZEL CLAAAAARKE!

 

The lights remain green, but yellow trails through it. Offspring "Dirty Magic" plays as a woman slinks out carrying a snake out to the ring and smiles as she threatens members along the ramp with it.

 

 

 

Ash: And their opponents! First, from Lisbon, Portugal, the Queen of the Cobras, ANNA KONDA!

 

The Jurassic Park Theme plays as a woman in a Ralph the Rex costume comes to stage, and with fireworks, the top blows off to reveal DINAH SOAR, who high-fives everyone.

 

 

Ash: Next! From Isla Nublar, the Paleontologist of Pain, DINAH SOAR!

 

The lights go dark and lines of green code run down the Titantron in hologram around the audience. Rage Against the Machine "Wake Up" plays as a woman in leather and green with a cat o'nine tails fashioned from ethernet cords painted green walks out. This is DONNA MATRIX, who snaps the whip occasionally as she walks down the ramp.

 

 

Ash: And finally, from the Dark Underbelly of Reality, the Neo-Dom, DONNA MATRIX!

 

The bell rings.

 

Bianca: And here we go! Clarke with a quick kick series to Anna, while Donna short-arm clotheslines Dinah. Dinah rolls up and air DDTs Hazel, Donna low dropkick to the legs of Anna. Anna stumbles and it looks like Donna made a mistake doing that, Anna swings her around. Hazel sees the opening on Donna and takes a run for a backflip legdrop, then pops up for a standing moonsault! And Anna bodyslams Dinah.

 

Colin: Anna picks Dinah up and tries to Irish Whip, Dinah pulls her in for DDT Rex! Goes for the pin but way too early. Hazel sees her get up and is going for the Spear, NO! Anna catches her into the Snakecharmer DDT. Donna with some chops to Dinah. 

 

Bianca: Anna locks in the AnnaKonda Vice on Clarke! Clarke trying to get out, trying to get herself up, and elbow to her, and Donna stomps Anna's face! Hazel gets up and Dinah kicks her in the stomach. Donna gets pulled into a DDT Rex! But bites her hand and Dinah punches Donna back. 

 

Colin: Anna up and eats a Trouble in Paradise taking her out of the ring. Anna comes back in and Dinah rolls into her with the Meteor! Going for the Pin!

 

1!

2!

3!

 

Anna Konda is eliminated by Dinah Soar with the Meteor and pin!

 

 

Bianca: Dinah and Donna hit a stereo stiff punch on Hazel. Donna gets the electric cord nine-tails and whacks Dinah with it! Dinah with a boot to Hazel and a corkscrew neckbreaker! Donna takes the nine tails across to Hazel now and a stifling boot! Standing on her shoulder for the pin-

 

1!

2!

3!

 

Hazel Clarke is eliminated by Donna Matrix with a big boot and pin!

 

 

Bianca: An unfortunate end for Clarke, the brutality of Matrix cannot be understated, as she slaps Dinah. But Dinah fights back with a two hooks and a crook, as we call the uppercut in some parts.

 

Colin: Which parts?

 

Bianca: I just like the rhyme, okay?

 

Colin: Okay. But Matrix sends Dinah off the ropes, and arm whip back. Face gouge by Matrix, and a boot and neckbreaker to continue. Dinah bounces up with a spin kick! Roll back by Donna who hits an atomic drop, run off the ropes for a boot! Dinah trips her back and a knee smash! Wheel trip by Donna, picks both of Dinah's legs up and drives them to the ground. Mounts Dinah and alternating scratches, Soar responds with a headbutt!

 

Bianca: And Donna returns THAT with a bionic elbow, the two of them exchanging blows now, and Donna flips her around and here comes the Camel Clutch! Elevating it to the No Safeword! And reaching for something but her hand drops, at least two more times and it's considered calling it, reaching a second time, hand drops, reaching a third time don't mess this up and she GETS HER HAND AROUND THE NINE TAILS! SHE'S HITTING DIANA WITH IT, AND GETS IT WRAPPED AROUND HER HEAD! GETTING UP....NINE TAILS ASSISTED STUNNER! GOOD LORD!

 

Colin: Dinah now with a people's elbow! Donna with a rolling kippou kick to Dinah's hand and she drops the whip, Donna wrapping it around Dinah's throat and dragging her to the ropes! Donna climbing the turnbuckle, and blockbuster using that whip! Going for the cover now!

 

1!

2!

 

Bianca: Dinah somehow kicks out, but you can see her struggling a bit. She rolls out of the ring, getting a chair. She hits Donna with it! Placing the chair under Donna's head now, up to the Turnbuckle...DINOMITE! Going for a cover, but Donna kicks out. Diana throws the chair and VANDAMINATOR! 

 

Colin: The risk of this is now you're giving someone as sadistic as Donna Matrix a weapon, and sure enough she hits Dinah in the legs with it. Hits in the legs even harder. Goes for a third one but Dinah jumps and springs from the chair to a front dropkick! And a quick stomp. Donna bites Dinah's ankle! 

 

Bianca: Dinah losing it a bit and dropping the chair on Donna's head, repeated stomps! Donna punches Dinah in the bite spot. Donna takes the chair in between the knees and pulls her down! Up and elbow drop to the knees! Dinah screaming a bit. Donna with a senton to the knees! 

 

Colin: And Donna off the ropes to continue the damage, Dinah gets her legs up to her hands and grabs the chair...Donna returns to hit Dinah and Dinah with a back swing to wobble Donna and Dinah hobbling a bit but trying to give herself some runway and corkscrew splash! They're both wiped and you can tell. It started off looking like a quick match that was all Matrix but now Dinah has proven her mettle. 

 

Bianca: Donna with a quick punch. Dinah hobbling away and looking for something, she seems to have found a spiked bat.

 

Colin: Clever girl. 

 

Bianca: Dinah nails Donna with that spiked bat right in the back. A second time! Donna rolls out of the way before it comes down a third and punches Dinah in that bite spot again, causing her to drop that bat. Donna gets up and they're exchanging punches. Donna slams Dinah's head into the apron! Throws her into the ring, back for the No Safeword again! Dinah taps! Dinah taps! It's over!

 

Dinah Soar is eliminated by Donna Matrix with the No Safeword Submission!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner and the NEW United States Champion, DONNA MATRIX!

 

 

Bianca: And that match went from quick to sick. But we know what today is supposed to be about, so let's get into it!

 

 

Ash stands in the ring.

 

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and for advancement in the W2 Tournament!

 

The mall turns into a full on dance floor with smoke machine and laser show as Deorro Feat. Elvis Crespo "Baillar" plays. The audience engages in the dancing and out comes Neon Juan busting various moves. He grinds, flexes his abs at various members of the audience and flirts with anyone of an adult age as he walks down the arena. He smells of intense cologne. He uses the turnbuckle pole as a dancer pole for a moment then shakes his chest on the top turnbuckle as he takes off his vest.

 

 

Ash: First, from La Santa, Mexico, weighing 235 pounds, El Divertido, Neon Juan Guyverno!

 

The lights are black. Like black black. "Mitternacht" by e nomine plays and all that can be seen is the smiley faces which also glow on the poles facing into the ring. Rade lifts Ann up and Ann extends her arms and lifts her head in a Messiah pose as Rade steps over the ring. Once they get into the ring he closes his hands around his face to cover the mask then spits the blood mist into the air, which Ann showers in using the same Messiah pose. The lights go on. Ash realizes their mic has been turned off.

 

 

Ann: From deep in the Black Forest and haunting the deepest caverns of your mind, weighing 355 pounds of crushed hopes and dreams, the reason you can't sleep at night, Der Blutsammler, RADE!!!

 

Ann cackles maniacally as Rade spits up blood again. The bell rings.

 

Colin: The first time these two met was in Round 7 and Juan made an effort but was quickly ended and oh there's the toss up and the drive down for the 7 Feet Under.

 

1!

2!

3!

 

Rade wins by pinfall with the 7 Feet Under!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner and advancing to the next round, Der Blutsammler, Rade!

 

Rade sits to the side and awaits his Round 2 match.

 

Bianca: Yep, that's about right. Let's keep it going. The next match would have been Luthor/Maverick but we already got that.

 

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for all for and will count towards advancement in the W2 Tournament.

 

A cheerful man engages the crowd in a slow "wave your hands in the air" to the tune of Trik Turner "Friends and Family" as he walks to the ring. This is Greg Arias.

 

 

Ash: First, from Boise, Idaho, weighing in at 301 pounds, Good Dude Greg Arias!

 

The lights go out, and we hear the yell of "SCHMETTERLIIIIIIING" and the crowd goes nuts as Schmetterling walks out to Rammstein "Mein Herz Brennt" with a mini flamethrower that he shoots in the sky whenever "BRENNT" is yelled.

 

 

Ash: And his opponent, from Mellrichstadt, Germany, weighing in at 219 pounds, the MAWL Champion, SCHMETTERLIIIIIIING!

 

The competitors shake hands as the bell rings. 

 

Colin: The last time we had this match was Day 8, and Arias won a hard-fought battle. What will happen this time? Schmetterling and Arias tangle up, throwing Schmetterling off the ropes and a big powerslam! Arias picks Schmetterling up and ripcord knee strike! Saito Slam! Schmetterling is facing a repeat. Arias goes for the running headbutt and Schmetterling moves! Arias flattened and Schmetterling picks him up for a deadlift German suplex! Arias rolls out before the pin. Schmetterling with a quick punch combo and throws him off the ropes, comes back around and hangman neckbreaker!

 

Bianca: Schmetterling picks Arias and goes for the Reisen, Arias lands on his feet and goes for the lariat. Schmetterling hits the mat but back on his feet and up for a DDT! Schmetterling off the ropes and hits with an elbow drop! Goes for a cover-

 

1!

 

Bianca: Arias up and scoop slam! Looking for a Boston Crab and-

 

Puff Daddy "All About the Benjamins" plays, distracting Arias. Schmetterling and Arias both look towards the ramp and the music gradually fades out.

 

Colin: And Schmetterling didn't take advantage of the distraction, he's actually checking to make sure he's okay, they shake hands.

 

Bianca: So respectful! And now, back and Greg and Schmetterling throwing punches, both running off the ropes, they duck, they come back around and Schmetterling goes for the jump and Greg Arias hits him with the powerbomb! Going for the cover-

 

1!

2!

 

Colin: Schmetterling up, Pele Kick, Dragon Arm Whip, Spinkick! Schmetterling off the ropes, Greg Arias back body drop! Schmetterling rolls up and Superkick! And off the ropes once more and going for the crossbody, Greg catches him into the Dudebuster! This is the ball game, and WHOA SCHMETTERLING PULLING DOWN REVERSING, BUTTERFLY PIIIIIIIIILEDRIVER! Going for the cover,

 

1!

2!

3!

 

Schmetterling wins by Pinfall with the Butterfly Piledriver!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner and advancing to the next round, SCHMETTERLIIIIING!

 

Schmetterling sits to the side and awaits his Round 2 Match.

 

Bianca: One of only two people to beat Rade in the Round Robin, if anyone was going to advance and no shame to Greg Arias whom I love dearly, this is the person to do it. 

 

Colin: And now on to the final match of our first round!

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and will count for advancement to the next round in the W2 Tournament.

 

 

Nightwish "Phantom of the Opera" plays as Tragedeigh comes out with the same American-Girl outfit she wore in the Rumble. The crowd cheers as they sing along. A white version of her mask shows on the Tron.

 

 

Ash: First! From Edina, Minnesota, Your Hometown Hero, the Gen Z Dramaturge, TRAGEDEIGH!

 

Halestorm "Dirty Work" plays as Imogen and Zora Luthor walk out mocking the audience.

 

 

Ash: And her opponent, accompanied by Zora Luthor, from her 5th Ave Penthouse Suite in New York, New York, the Reflection of Perfection, IMOGEN!

 

The bell rings.

 

Colin: And Imogen would be well-served to sever this connection. If she wins this match, Zora Luthor is going to expect her to lay down and give her the win in the next round. 

 

Bianca: She has to win first, though, and Tragedeigh's confidence has grown with the crowd, not to mention her anger at Imogen. Tragedeigh locks Imogen up, big powerslam! Imogen rolls to her feet, Tragedeigh with that pirouette kick and lands it.

 

Zora has a microphone.

 

Zora: I've taken all your friends. Remember when you two used to be a team? That was funny.

 

Bianca: It seems like Zora is trying to distract Tragedeigh but instead just unlocked something in her! Luthor is shocked! Tragedeigh bouncing and picking up and bouncing Imogen multiple times with the powerslam! Tragedeigh lets out a yell and the crowd yells in unity. Tragedeigh gets on top of Imogen and throwing chaotic lefts and rights and now axe handles, it's an absolute beatdown. Luthor looks totally gobsmacked about this turn of events.

 

Colin: Normally this works, she's not used to it not working. But Tragedeigh has Imogen up and it's a Curtain Call! 

 

1!

2!

3!

 

Tragedeigh wins by Pinfall with the Curtain Call! 

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner, Tragedeigh!!

 

The crowd is ecstatic! Tragedeigh raises her arms and takes in the win. It's short lived as Kalpana shows up on the Titantron with Tragedeigh's mask.

 

 

Kalpana: You should really learn to protect your things more.

 

Imogen rings the bell as Zora Luthor signals to Andra that they are the Round 2 match. 

 

 

Kalpana breaks Tragedeigh's mask then Zora Luthor rolls Tragedeigh in a Schoolboy Pin!

 

1!

2!

3!

 

Zora Luthor wins by Pinfall with a Schoolboy Pin!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner, the Women's W2 Champion and advancing to the Finals for the Ultimate W2 Trophy, Zora Luthor!

 

Colin: Part of me almost wants to see Rade win, so he can decimate Zora Luthor.

 

Ash: And now time for your Men's Final W2 Match! Schmetterling vs Rade!

 

 

Rade and Schmetterling enter the ring, and the bell rings.

 

Bianca: And Rade going for the pop up...Schmetterling comes down with a Butterfly DDT! He's going for the cover!

 

1!

2!

3!

 

Schmetterling wins by Pinfall with the Butterfly DDT!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner, the Men's W2 Champion and advancing to the Finals for the Ultimate W2 Trophy, SCHMETTERLING!

 

Bianca: Rade was not expecting that! Neither were we! But I get it, Schmetterling still has to defend his title in the main event.

 

Colin: And Zora Luthor is entering the ring, here we go! The final! Hopefully a bit more dramatic than what's led up to it.

 

 

The bell rings. 

 

Colin: Here we are! The unification final. Two weeks of action, backstabbing, and drama have taken us to this moment, our MAWL champion Schmetterling facing off against the Corporate Corrupter, Zora Luthor. Good vs Evil. 

 

Bianca: Zora attempts to rake the eyes but Schmetterling dodges his head back, and jams it forward with the headbutt. Why she tried to do that with a mask I'm not sure but here we are. Schmetterling with a spinning powerslam! He picks her up and throws her across the ropes, Bitter End! He's giving no quarter!

 

Colin: Zora Luthor cheated her whole way through this W2 and the tournament was no different, but Schmetterling doesn't get caught up in stupid games and he's going to make her fight a real match. Schmetterling tries for the pin, Luthor kicks up before one. Schmetterling lets her up and a quick boxing combo into a sidewalk slam!

 

Bianca: The tragedy of this is as we've said early on, Zora Luthor is historically a preeminent fighter and threat in the ring, but taking the easy way has made her less independent and efficacious. Luthor up and off the ropes, she goes for a flipping arm drag! She locks in a headlock and tries to turn Schmetterling around for a crossface, but Schmetterling slides out from under her and goes for the German NO ZORA slides out of it and pushes Schmetterling towards the ropes and jumping headlock takedown! This is the old school Zora Luthor. 

 

Colin: And Zora trying to get that crossface in again but Schmetterling flips back in an Operation Dragon and goes for the bridging half nelson suplex. 

 

1!

 

Bianca: Zora rolls out of it and mid kick combo into a left arm lariat! Arm Wringer Flip and Arm lock, but Schmetterling flips and reverses it and around we go! He locks in a headlock now but she hits him with a stunner! Off the ropes and Zora Luthor with a devastating elbow drop! She tries for the Florida Keys submission but Schmetterling with the monkey flip to get her off and springboards up with a lariat OOP SHE DUCKS THE LARIAT AND FULL NELSON BULLDOG! She goes for the cover-

 

1!

 

Colin: Schmetterling gets up and Luthor with fists to the face and a spinning back elbow! Off the ropes and European Uppercut! Off a perpendicular rope and two-handed facebuster! Imogen to the side offering Luthor brass knuckles and she declines them! Luthor actually wants to win this one clean!

 

Bianca: Being in the ring with Schmetterling drives you to perform as your best self, he elevates the game of everyone he's with. Luthor coming across the ropes and hits Schmetterling with the Axe Kick! And now a Curb Stomp! Schmetterling grabs the ankle and Luthor with a flipping Pele kick!

 

Colin: This reminds me of Zora Luthor's early matches, when she used to wrestle as Chanel Z. And now she may even be looking to hit the Z-Pack for the first time in three years, coming off the ropes and there's the Somersault and Schmetterling catches her into a Rock Bottom! 

 

Bianca: That rejection seems to have brought Luthor back to who she is, and she's going over now to Imogen to take her offer. Zora going for the brass knuckles and Schmetterling shaking his head in disappointment as he sets her up for the Reisen! He launches her and down she goes! Schmetterling hooks her up...BUTTERFLY PILEDRIVER!

 

1!

2!

3!

 

Schmetterling wins by Pinfall with the Butterfly Piledriver!

 

 

Ash: Here is YOUR WINNER, and THE W2 UNIFIED CHAMPION FOR 2025, SCHMETTERLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

 

The fans lose their minds, and confetti falls, as "Mein Herz Brennt" by Rammstein plays! 

 

Bianca: What a match. What a W2. The tournament was a bit on the dicey side but that finale was definitely worth the price of admission! We still have two more matches to go, but first, here is Leila Blake with the rechristening of our two main titles.

 

Leila Blake walks out with two cloches.

 

 

Leila: Thank you, Minnesota. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart both for these past two weeks and the past eleven years we have been able to do this event here at the Mall of America.

 

Crowd cheers.

 

Leila: It is with a heavy heart and not of our own choosing that this must be our last time here, but we wanted to make this experience as memorable and exciting for you as possible. This event marks in many aspects a new era of Maniacal Action Wrestling League, and I hope that you will continue to come to our events and watch us in our new spot on WGTV, both for our MAWL Madness shows and for our amazing upcoming pay-per-views. In keeping with the changes, we started this with me saying that we were re-christening our main titles to remove gender segregation from our books. You've seen this week the first set of many matches that can hold men, women, and enbies, and everyone in between. Without further ado, here are our new titles, which momentarily will be contested-

 

 

Leila: Our former women's belt, currently held by Cass O'Wary will be replaced by our new Asylum belt, while our former men's belt, held by W2 Universal Champion Schmetterling, will be replaced by our new Mania belt! Anyone will be able to compete for any of our belts going forward, and we look forward to seeing what crazy matches and reigns will result. And now, without further ado, our final two matches of the night!

 

 

Ash: The following is an I Quit Match, and is for the ASYLUM CHAMPIONSHIP!

 

Nicki Minaj "I'm the Best" plays as Faith enters, flanked by H. Dog and T. Krip. She mouths the words as she points to herself and threatens to smack the audience. 

 

 

Ash: First, the challenger, accompanied by P. Crue, from the Streets of Socal, FAITH!

 

The lights turn green, blue, and pink in strobing fashion. Bishop Briggs "Champion" plays as Cass O'Wary raises the belt above her head and colorful fireworks go off. Petey Peacock and Paulie Parrot flank her as she walks down confidently high fiving fans and raising her belt. 

 

 

Ash: And the Asylum Champion, accompanied by Birds of Play, from Popondetta, New Guinea, the Warbird, CASS O'WARY!

 

The bell rings.

 

Bianca: And an I Quit Match, basically you have to make your opponent say...well, I Quit, essentially. And these two stables have already developed a severe distaste for each other, this will probably just intensify it.

 

Colin: Faith starts us off with a series of quick punches and a swinging Polish Hammer. Cass retaliates with a high kick combo and hurricanrana. Cass with a twisting headscissors to increase the pain. And Faith takes out the brass knucks and clocks Cass with them! 

 

Bianca: Cass is already saying I Quit! What?!

 

Faith wins with a brass knuckle shot.

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner, and the NEW ASYLUM CHAMPION, FAITH!

 

Colin: What the hell was that?!

 

Bianca: Something seems fishy. But we won't know for now, Cass walked out from her partners. 

 

Colin: Well, no sense spending too much time on it I guess, we still have one final match. 

 

Ash: The final match of the night is a Bloodstar Match, and is for the MAAAAANIA TITLE!

 

 

The lights suddenly cut out for a brief moment and explode and strobe to the heavy riff of Soundgarden "Outshined". The crowd is on their feet in support of the Kid they identify with. The Hometown Hero and the Kross town Rival. Twisted Kid Kross. 

 

 

Ash: Ladies and gentlemen, from the depths of despair and depravity of Sunnyvale Trailer Park, in Sunnyvale Nova Scotia Canada, weighing in at 230 pounds, your hometown hero and their cross town rival, Twisted Kiiiiiddddd Kross!!  

 

Kid Kross saunters down to the ring with his flashy blue and green vest with a facial depiction of “the green bastard”, a local Sunnyvale wrestler. He has his aviators on carrying a hockey stick over his shoulder. His long hair flowing behind him. Kid Kross kneels down In the ring with his arms out to the side as the music hits the chorus “ Show me the power child I’d like to say, that I’m down on my knees today”. He pops back up when the lyrics say “it gives the butterflies, gives me away until I’m up on my feet again”. He climbs to the second rope and raises his stick in unison with “OUTSHINED, OUTSHINED, OUTSHINED, OUTSHINED!”  

 

Ash: Kid Kross!, the one we’ve all been waiting for! He’s here to take  professional wrestling by storm!

 

Kid Kross stares intently at the curtain awaiting his next challenge. Ready to prove himself to his fans and the rest of the wrestling world.  The next challenge comes as Europe "Ninja" plays and a man comes out with a full chef-ninja regalia, doing a kata on the stage to fireworks. This is Chef Nobi.

 

 

Ash: From Kyoto, Japan, weighing in at 267 pounds, Chef NOOOOOBI!

 

The lights go dark and smoke in red and olive green shoot up in plumes. Smashing Pumpkins "The End is the Beginning is the End" plays as Genesis stands breathing heavily on the stage before looking up and fire shoots up. 

 

 

Ash: From Death Valley, California, weighing in at 301 pounds, GENESIS!

 

Little Big "Uno" plays and the lights go all the colors in strobe as Hoy Sumer comes out dancing. He stops on the apron and poses as fireworks go off behind him in a star shape, before running down the ramp and sliding into the ring, pointing to the sky and around the crowd. 

 

 

Ash: From Najaf, Iraq, weighing in at 248 pounds, the Middle East North Star, HOY SUMER!

 

The lights go out, and we hear the yell of "SCHMETTERLIIIIIIING" and the crowd goes nuts as Schmetterling walks out to Rammstein "Mein Herz Brennt" with a mini flamethrower that he shoots in the sky whenever "BRENNT" is yelled.

 

 

Ash: And from Mellrichstadt, Germany, weighing in at 219 pounds, the MAWL Mania Champion, SCHMETTERLIIIIIIING!

 

The bell rings.

 

Colin: Last match of the night, everyone, and we are going to see if Schmetterling can have a perfect night or if the belt is going home on another waist.

 

Bianca: If you're just tuning in, a Bloodstar Match is a 5-person elimination match, where the only way to eliminate your opponent is by making them bleed. 

 

Colin: And Nobi with the first move, a tornado kick to the champ! And Nobi compounds that with a lariat to Kross! Genesis comes for Schmetterling with a quick jab, then Nobi whacks him with a lariat. Nobi picks Genesis up and piledriver! Kross comes charging at Genesis but Genesis moves and catches him with a Boot of Justice!

 

Bianca: Nobi takes a bionic elbow to Schmetterling, and Schmetterling finally decides to give something back with a chokeslam! Kross with a quick punch to Nobi. Sumer charges Kross and Kross drops him with a DDT! Schmetterling with a solid headbutt to Nobi. Nobi with a quick forearm shot to Genesis. 

 

Colin: Nobi is getting a bunch of hits in, as he coconut crushes Genesis into Sumer. Genesis turns around a discus lariat to Nobi! Kross and Schmetterling hit an immense double powerbomb on Hoy Sumer! Nobi hits Genesis with a kneee smash to the face! These two are really going at it! Kross sneaks in and Death Valley Driver on Nobi, then follows that with a Samoan Drop!

 

Bianca: Sumer DEVASTATES Schmetterling with a Sumerslam! Kross sees an opening and stomps Schmetterling. Nobi tries a splash and Schmetterling catches him with a boot. Sumer with a tornado DDT to Kross! They're all piling on each other! Nobi with the Iron Chef Claw Slam to Kross!

 

Colin: Genesis tries to get a run in on Nobi but gets Judo Flipped. And Schmetterling takes advantage with a stomp. Kross with a piledriver to Sumer, still no bloodshed. Genesis with a running Superman punch to Nobi, and Nobi goes down the line to hit a Hidden Blade on the Champ! Sumerslam rocks Genesis! And then Sumer with a Jumping Piledriver but still no Blood.

 

Bianca: Genesis rolls out and gets a chair, and whangs Nobi with it! Schmetterling with the Vandaminator to Genesis and he drops the chair! Nobi picks it up. Kross springboarding it and Kross Over to Genesis!! DAMN!

 

Colin: If you thought that was brutal, Kross hitting the Kross Town Frown on Nobi and NOBI IS BUSTED OPEN!

 

Chef Nobi is eliminated by Kid Kross with the Kross Town Frown!

 

 

Bianca: Chef Nobi, you've been chopped. 

 

Colin: And now the Champ catches Sumer with a flying forearm. And Sumer turns that around with a hurricanrana to Kross. Schmetterling with dual chokeslams on Sumer and Genesis!! And Schmetterling goes for the Butterfly Piledriver on Kross! And Kross is busted open!

 

Kid Kross is eliminated by Schmetterling with the Butterfly Piledriver!

 

 

Colin: Kid Kross will need to take it to the Four Chambers, provided he can win his qualifying match. A good showing though by the Kross Town Rival. 

 

Bianca: Genesis now with the side slam to Hoy. And throws Hoy off the ropes, pops him up, GENESIDE! And now an elbow drop to the head of Sumer. And Schmetterling gets over to Genesis and BUTTERFLY PILEDRIVER! Genesis is busted wide open!

 

Genesis is eliminated by Schmetterling with the Butterfly Piledriver!

 

 

Bianca: This leaves us with the original two men in all of this! Hoy and Schmetterling! The champ with a series of chest chops! Sumer responds with a punch. Schmetterling slips behind him and Reisen! SUMERSLAM IN RESPONSE! Schmetterling has been through hell and back today, with the two and a half matches in the tournament. Sumer with a boot. 

 

Colin: Sumer hits an elbow drop and a running senton. Schmetterling up and BUTTERFLY PILEDRIVER! But Sumer is not bleeding! Sumer somehow up and Alabama Slam to Schmetterling! We haven't talked about this before but Sumer is a submission specialist who went into today thinking he'd be in an Iron Man match. Blood is not his forte. 

 

Bianca: But it is his fate as another Butterfly Piledriver DOES THE JOB! SCHMETTERLING RETAINS!! SCHMETTERLING WINS THE W2 AND DEFENDS HIS BELT IN ONE NIGHT! HOLY HELL!

 

Hoy Sumer is eliminated by Schmetterling with the Butterfly Piledriver!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner, and STILL CHAMPION, SCHMETTERLIIIIIIING!

 

 

The fans yell "SCHMETTERLING!!" as Rammstein "Mein Herz Brennt" plays and Schmetterling holds the title in one hand and shoots the flamethrower in the other!

 

Colin: I don't care if you're Levar Burton, no one is flying as high as this butterfly is right now! The man of the moment, the face of this company, he made his job 4 times as hard and he came through as he always does. Schmetterling is the first holder of the newly designed belt, the first holder of the unified W2 cup, the man from a little village in Bavaria has come to Minnesota and understood the assignment! This is total insanity here at the Mall of America.

 

Bianca: This moment here is what it's all about Colin, tenacity, fortitude, and steel cojones. This is why we do this. This is why we put up with the shenanigans so we can arrive here and feel the zeitgeist. Thank you so much everyone for tuning in. The W2 is done for this year, and we will be seeing you Friday nights on WGTV. I'm Bianca Diaz.

 

Colin: And I'm Colin McRae. Good night everyone.  We're going to enjoy our time off before coming to you with MAWL Madness.

 

 

The camera fades back in as Ralph Silva steps through the bustling corridors of the MAWL arena. His polished shoes click against the concrete floor as he adjusts his suit and strides with purpose. Around him, wrestlers pause their conversations and activities to give curious glances, sensing the presence of someone who doesn’t belong in their gritty world yet commands attention nonetheless.

 

 

Suddenly, the flickering overhead lights dim, casting the hallway into a shadowy haze. The chatter quiets to murmurs as a crimson mist seeps from an unseen source, curling around Ralph’s polished shoes. He stops, his brow furrowing as he surveys his surroundings.

 

From the darkness, two figures emerge—Sombras and Mal Sangre, the infamous duo of La Sangre Maldita. Sombras steps forward first, his fluid movements eerily silent, his glowing crimson eyes piercing through the dimness. Mal Sangre looms behind him, a hulking mass of menace, his scarred frame exuding raw power.

 

 

Sombras: (low, measured tone)

"So... this is the man who speaks of legacies and symphonies. Tell me, Silva, do you truly understand the weight of those words? Or are they simply melodies to entertain the masses?"

 

Ralph, unfazed, straightens his tie and takes a deliberate step closer, his gaze unwavering.

 

Ralph Silva: (calmly, with a faint smirk)

"I’ve spoken to kings and paupers, phantoms and titans. Your theatrics don’t impress me, Sombras, but your reputation does. The question is, are you here to prove yourself... or to waste my time?"

 

Mal Sangre growls lowly, stepping forward as if to confront Ralph, but Sombras lifts a hand, halting him with a subtle gesture.

 

Sombras: (tilting his head, a sinister grin playing beneath his mask)

"Bold words for a man standing in the presence of shadows. But boldness... can be entertaining."

 

He circles Ralph slowly, his movements fluid and predatory, while Mal Sangre stands like an immovable wall.

 

Sombras:

"You speak of redefining eras, of finding threads to weave your masterpiece. Yet, here we stand—already a tapestry of destruction and fear. Do you truly think you can guide shadows, Silva? Or are you hoping we’ll fall into your neatly drawn lines?"

 

Ralph chuckles softly, turning to follow Sombras’ movements without flinching.

 

Ralph Silva:

"I don’t guide shadows, Sombras. I focus them. Refine them. And in doing so, I make them something far greater than the chaos they embody. You and Mal Sangre—" (he gestures toward the hulking figure) "—you’re already forces to be reckoned with. But under my vision, you’ll be legends."

 

The air grows tense as Sombras stops in front of Ralph, their eyes locking. For a moment, the arena feels silent, the weight of their exchange palpable.

 

Sombras: (after a pause, his voice dripping with menace)

"Legends burn bright, Silva. But shadows... endure. If you wish to test your light against us, you’ll find only darkness."

 

He steps back, melting into the shadows with a ghostly grace. Mal Sangre lingers for a moment, his presence imposing, before following Sombras into the mist. Ralph watches them go, a satisfied smirk creeping across his face.

 

Ralph Silva: (to himself, almost amused)

"Shadows endure, you say? Good. I’ll make sure the world never forgets them."

 

The camera lingers on Ralph as he adjusts his cufflinks and walks away, his confident stride echoing in the now-empty hallway. The scene fades to black, leaving the audience eager to see what this confrontation will lead to.

 

 

Zora Luthor, Imogen, Kalpana, and Valencia Valdez sit at the food court, enjoying a meal. with a briefcase in the middle of the table. Footsteps can be heard and a shadow looms.

 

 

Zora: Well done. Exactly as planned. Here is the money, as we discussed. Welcome to the newly branded Zora Luthor International, where we'll all be swimming in gold soon.

 

 

Cass: Good. I'm done playing around.

 

FADE TO BLACK
