Dark Matches
Alex Rush vs Tim Staggs
Alex wins by DQ when the ref catches Andrew Borg throwing a weapon for Tim to use.
-----
Jamie Staggs vs Andrew Borg
Andrew Brog wins by countout as Tim was able to argue with Jamie long enough to get himself counted out.
------
Lord Raab vs Javier Gonzalez
Lord Raab wins by TKO after Javi superkicked Lord Raab’s manager Henry. This sends Lard Raab into a frenzy and attacks Javi so severely that the ringseld medic had no choice but to call the match.
We come in to see Valentina stretching out in front of a full length mirror. She watches herself intensely, while Angel is in front of the vanity, getting her makeup perfectly. Angel looks back at the doorway to see Kader Hasheem standing there keeping watch. Val turns her head to Angel slightly.
Valentina: You were right. It’s a much better sight when he’s unmasked. I feel so much safer.
Angel: Oh honey, you’re not his type. Trust me…
Val continues to stretch as Kader looks over his shoulders at them, his ego stroked, even though he doesn’t want to fully acknowledge it. Angel runs a brush down her nose, feeling fully confident in her look.
Valentina: Can you believe that we have to fight for the title against twenty other chicks tonight? Like any of them deserve it.
Angel: Not that I agree, but word around the locker room is that you don’t deserve it either. The hatred for you and Veronica Taylor is just… mmmmm… and they call us mean?
Valentina turns slightly and flips her ponytail to the other side, and she looks offended.
Valentina: Honey, please. Sometimes it’s not being mean, it’s being honest. Other times, like what you’re talking about? They’re just jealous. Call it unoriginal, or what it is… facts baby.
Angel: You’re not wrong, honey. You’re not telling me anything I don’t already know. It’s just too bad that Lexa doesn’t have enough sense to just have the two of us fight against each other for the belt, but… I guess they want us to dig through trash to get to the gold.
Valentina: I mean, look at who we’re against. Cordelia Clark? We’ve already handled that Ivy League cumdumpster. And her sister? Oooooh, I’m shaking in my sports bra.
Angel waves her off, laughing. She covers her mouth for a second and then removes it with a serious look.
Angel: And Ugh-lissa, Whale-ia Rotten, Team Uggo, Team HO. The list just goes on. I mean, it’s bad enough that this roster doesn’t have enough respect. But are you serious with the Jesus Gang? I mean that’s just bottom of the barrel.
Valentina: You want to talk about respect? They don’t respect us at all. It’s bullshit. So sick of it. But we already know that one of us is going to win. There’s no doubt about that.
Angel fluffs her hair up just enough.
Angel: Yeah. One of us.
Angel winks into the mirror so that Valentina doesn’t quite see it. She smirks, knowing the answer is going to be her. Val reaches back and grabs her foot, pulling it to show off her flexibility.
Valentina: When I win, you’re totally going to get the first shot at my title.
Angel: Um, trust me. When I win, you’re the first one I want to face for it. I mean, it will look good next to my other two Underground titles in my trophy room. Amongst others of course.
Valentina: Yeah… I almost had one once. The referee even called my name, and I went home with it. But, the night my nameplate got put on… somebody’s lawyers had my victory expunged from the records. I can totally do it though.
Angel: Trust me, I know you can do it. As a matter of fact, I hope you do it. You deserve it more than 18 others in this match. You know I respect you, and the past is the past. My point is that, if we work together, just like the Shepherds, just like the Clarks, Team GO, Team Uggo, Over the Edge, then we’ve got nothing to worry about except each other two weeks later, baby.
Val walks over to Angel with a nod. They lock pinkies and shake before turning back to what they were doing and the camera fades out.
Opening Match - Inferno Tables Match
Samuel McPherson vs Rory Rockefeller
Liam: The opening contest is scheduled for one fall and is a Grime Rules Match! First, from Las Vegas, NV standing at 6’6” and weighing in at 280lb, he is… “The Monster” Samuel McPherson!!!
Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace plays over the sound system as a large man walks out from the curtain and stands on top of the ramp, looking around with Henry standing behind him before he walks very slowly to ringside as he steps on the apron and goes over the top rope with his feet and goes to a corner to rest himself up on, looking at his opponent with intensity before the match starts.
Liam: And his opponent… Standing at 6’4” and weighing in at 265lb, he is… Rory Rockefeller!!!
"Drink Drank Drunk" by HELLYEAH starts playing as Rory comes through the curtains carrying a cocktail shaker, mixing it up. He walks along the aisle, looking for outreached cups that he pours little bits of his signature drink into their cups. After making his way around the ring, Rory sets the shaker down on the ring steps as he runs up the steps. Rory gets half way in the ring before rocking out to his theme music. He steps inside all the way and holds his fists in the air and walks around waiting for the match to start.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Ada: The tables are set up all around the ring and ready to go. Rory stands around the outside of the ring, making sure there are plenty of gas cans and matches before he slides back inside of the ring.
Rob: Rory storms over at Sam, looking for a Spear and he gets it! Rory watches as Sam crumbles to the ground. Rory stomps away at Sam.
Ada: Sam grabs onto Rory’s foot and then stands up. He shoves an elbow into Rory’s knee cap and then Clotheslines him to the mat.
Rob: Sam goes to the outside of the ring and picks up a table. He slides it inside of the ring. He grabs a gas can and turns around just as Rory dives through the ropes with a Suicide Dive!
Crowd: YEAH!!!
Ada: Gas goes all over the place as the audience moves to try to avoid getting hit by it. Rory shakes it off like a dog before putting the boot to Sam again.
Rob: Sam rolls out of the way and crawls toward the ring apron. He lifts it up, but Rory grabs onto his ankle. As Rory pulls Sam away…
FSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Ada: Sam sprays Rory with a fire extinguisher. Rory stumbles back as the powder expands and clings to the tables on this side of the ring. He then swings the extinguisher at Rory’s head.
CLANK!
Rob: Rory stumbles back against the barricade. He slaps against a table to push himself up. He grabs onto Sam’s head and flings him right into the table, cracking it in half!
Ada: That doesn’t count because it wasn’t on fire. Rory looks around at the fire suppressant and shakes his head. He picks Sam up and goes to drag him around the ring.
Rob: As they round the second corner, Sam plants his feet on the ring steps and pushes back, taking Rory down with a sort of modified Russian Legsweep.
Ada: Sam pulls himself over toward the table nearby and he slowly sets it up. Rory slips on the fire suppressant when getting up the first few times.
Rob: He makes it over to Sam and clubs him across the back. He then whips him back and bangs the back of his head on the barricade.
Ada: Sam is out cold now! Rory picks up a nearby can of gas and brings it over to the table. He picks Sam up and puts him on the table and pours gas all over Sam and the table.
Rob: He strikes a match on his boot and holds it up as the fans begin shouting loudly for the idea of it all going up in flames. He drops the match and Sam quickly catches fire!
Ada: This wakes Sam up, and he rolls off the table. The table falls over and into the corner. Rory turns around as Sam comes at him. He tries to duck, but Henry grabs his ankle!
Rob: Sam comes at him like a freight train, and crashes right into Rory, putting him through the table!!!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Liam: Here is your winner… Samuel McPherson!!!
“Animal I Have Become” plays over the speakers as Samuel and Henry take their leave. The ring crew puts out the fire on Rory, and check on him. He says he’s fine as he glares over at Henry and Sam. Henry smiles sadistically as he leads Sam to the back.
Merlot Ayano: May sound a bit cliche, but professional wrestling is in Merlot’s blood. Aunts and uncles were wrestlers. Cousins were wrestlers. So naturally, Merlot wanted to step into family business.
The Sin City Underground Combat Champion is shown sitting on a stool in front of some sort of black backdrop. She decked out in various pieces of Nike workout gear.
Merlot Ayano: Most famous cousin is Miko Ayano. Why most famous? Was first in family to transport our name across seas. Miko didn’t want to be known as just Joshi. She loved different styles of wrestling from south. So, Miko moved from Japan to America. That move made Miko world renown star. Was able to work in many big United States promotions, Garnered much attention.
There’s a brief pause.
Merlot Ayano: Is no secret that Miko’s contributions affected Merlot’s career, for better and worse. Some promotions saw name Ayano and were accepting. Sometimes made traveling to different promotions very easy. But some promotions see name Ayano and reject. Or see name Ayano and then say Merlot no good because was not Miko. Was frustrating.
She nodded her head.
Merlot Ayano: Situations like that are why Merlot understand what’s going on between Melissa and Stacy. Problems caused by outsiders and hoodlums is one thing. Issue caused by family is different. Affects mind differently too.
She snaps her fingers.
Merlot Ayano: But as said before, is all about state of mind. Reason why Merlot gained big fame was because did best not to dwell on those things constantly. Did best to focus on self and career. Trained really hard. Centered attention around getting better in ring. Desired to show wrestling world what made Merlot standout and special. Most importantly, made it a priority to no worry about things Merlot couldn’t change and deal with things Merlot could change.
She nods her head.
Merlot Ayano: That mentality shaped Merlot. Is reason why name is still known today. Is reason why can call self Combat Champion.
A moment passes.
Merlot Ayano: Stacy? Merlot gave you message a few weeks ago. Was good heart to heart. For Stacy’s sake, hope listened. This kickboxing match will be like none other you’ve had before. Will be brutal. Will be harsh. Will test both competitor’s spirits. Stacy’s best chance at victory is a clear mind.
She nods.
Merlot Ayano: But please know, that victory is no guaranteed. Must realize this, Stacy’s desire to win Combat Championship is no greater than Merlot’s will to retain. Will be fighting with all might, so hope will be ready.
A moment of silence passes Merlot thinks about what she wants to say next.
Merlot Ayano: But Combat Championship match is not Merlot’s only bout of night. Have one other one. Is on pre-show. And is very important. Is battle royal for vacant Underground Championship―
It appears as if Merlot wants to say something else, but she stops herself.
Merlot Ayano: No. No―
There’s a small pause.
Merlot Ayano: Will just do best.
With that, the camera fades to black.
Montgomery Creed and Kader Hasheem vs Jerry Cann and Jacob Johnson
Liam: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a GRIME Tag Team Scaffold Match! Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiintroducing first, the team of Montgomery Creed and Kader Hasheem!!!
“American Rebelution” by The Lacs begins playing as Monty and Kader move down the aisle, wasting no time. They get inside of the ring, and they walk around, before getting to their corner.
Liam: Aaaaaaaaand their opponents… Jerry Cann and Jacob Johnson!!!
“Clint Eastwood” plays over the speakers as Jerry Cann and Jacob Johnson rushes down to the ring, sliding inside as they step up, ready to fight.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Ada: If I were Jerry and Jacob, I’d be pooping a little, being so high up from the ground and fighting two giants like Kader and Monty.
Rob: Jacob charges right at Monty, looking for a Leaping Clothesline, but Monty catches him and nails an Exploder Suplex, right onto the steel beam.
Ada: Jerry isn’t so naive, and he tries to calculate his next move. Kader steps around Monty, and begins trash talking Jerry. Jerry doesn’t back down, but rather finds his footing.
Rob: Jerry claws Kader’s eyes and then lays boot to his stomach, and as he lowers, to his chest. Kader then picks Jerry up, but Jerry locks on a Rear Naked Choke.
Ada: Monty goes to bash Jerry, but Jacob grabs onto his ankle to stop him. Jacob rises up, and goes for the same move Jerry has locked on.
Rob: Due to the relative inexperience in submission, Monty flips Jacob over, and kicks him right in the spine. Jerry brings Kader down to one knee, but Monty grabs him by the hair and rips him off.
Ada: Monty lifts Jerry up into a Military Press Slam, and then tosses him off of the beam and onto the airbag below!
Liam: Jerry Cann has been eliminated!
Rob: Jacob slides between Kader’s legs and begins climbing up the support chains. He hangs up there as Kader and Monty try to grab for him.
Ada: He is just out of their reach. He begins kicking at them, and he catches Monty right in the nose, busting him open. He tries for Kader, but gets hold of his leg and whips him off and to the airbag below!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Liam: Jacob Johnson has been eliminated! Therefore, your winners… Kader Hasheem and Montgomery Creed!!!
“American Rebelution” begins playing over the speakers as both men celebrate their win. They laugh and bumps chests as Jerry and Jacob roll off of the airbag.
The screen slowly fades into the Team Canada executive suite.
Marissa: Welcome everyone please welcome my guests at this time Team Canada members Stewart Mason and Dahlia Rotten. First Stewart let me start with you, and the Underground Title.
Stewart: I think it has the potential to be a match of the year candidate, Dax is unpredictable, but the guy is damn good and always steps it up in big matches, and like me he is a true proven ring veteran. Father Gerald, I may not agree with his religious beliefs, but the guy is damn good and always a serious threat inside the ring. Me, you know my resume by now, and whoever walks out of Blaze Of Glory as Underground will have proven that he is the best of the best.
Marissa: Dahlia, the vacant Underground Women’s championship is on the line in a battle royal, as someone who has competed in numerous battle royals, due you feel you have the advantage at Blaze Of Glory.
Dahlia: You have to go into any match thinking you have the advantage, I’m the biggest woman in the battle royal, and the other women will probably see me as the biggest threat.
Marissa: Other than yourself of course, of the competitors in the match who do feel would be a great representative for the Underground Women’s title.
Dahlia: All the women in the battle royal are talented, and any of them would be a great Underground champ, well except Veronica Taylor, no one really wants her to be underground champion. We’ll see at the end who has survived to the end, hopefully it will be me, but you never know, battle royals are always unpredictable.
Marissa: Thank you both for your time.
Dahlia: No problem Marissa.
Masked Celeste and Masked Orchid vs Masked Light Blue and Masked Indigo
“American Landill” by 3TEETH plays over the speakers as we head back to the ring. We see masked members Celeste, Orchid, Light Blue, and Indigo standing inside of the ring, paired off in teams.
Liam: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a Falls Count Anywhere Match! Iiiiiiiiiiiiintroducing first, the team of masked members Celeste and Orchid!!!
Celeste and Orchid loosen up their shoulders as they stare across the ring at their opposition as the music continues to play.
Liam: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand their opponents… masked members Light Blue and Indigo!!!
Indigo and Light Blue shove each other, getting each other amped up for this fight. They begin jogging in place as they turn from one another and look to Celeste and Orchid. They begin approaching, causing their opponents to do the same.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Rob: GRIME is taking over the first three matches now, as some of the last few unmasked fighters go at it in tornado tag team action.
Ada: Celeste gets kicked in the gut by Indigo, and then receives a punch right to the face. Orchid gets an elbow to the side of the face by Light Blue, and then her face is smashed down into Light Blue’s knee!
Crowd: OHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Rob: Celeste pushes Indigo back and then kicks her in the chest so hard that she stumbles backward. She flies forward with a flury of punches and knees that sends Indigo into the corner.
Ada: Light Blue drags Orchid to the corner and begins repeatedly bashing her face into the top turnbuckle. Orchid grabs hold of one arm and twists. She goes back into an Inside Cradle.
One!
Kickout!
Rob: Light Blue kicks out, just as Celeste is there to grab her by the back of the head, tossing her to the outside. She follows her outside, just as Orchid and Indigo slide outside as well.
Ada: Celeste drags Light Blue to her feet as Orchid comes from behind with a Bulldog right onto the ring steps. Indigo comes rushing around the corner with a steel chair.
Rob: She bashes it across the back of Orchid’s head, dropping her down to the ground. She turns around and swings it at Celeste, but Celeste ducks and nails a Roundhouse Kick.

Rob: Light Blue catches her right in the face as she starts to raise the chair! Orchid falls onto the barricade, right next to Celeste, who is just rising.
Ada: Indigo and Light Blue come right at them with Clotheslines, but Celeste and Orchid lift them up into Back Body Drops right on top of the set up chairs!

Two! Two!
Kickout! THREE!!!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Ada: Celeste got Indigo!
Liam: Here are your winners via pinfall… Masked members Celeste and Orchid!!!
Celeste and Orchid rise up from the ground and they raise their arms up. Orchid is a bit woozy in her movements, but she celebrates nonetheless. Light Blue shakes Indigo to wake her up as Celeste and Orchid step over the barricade and head to the ring for their celebration.
The scene cuts to the locker room of both Morgan and Cordelia Clark and there seems to be a mixed vibe between them. Morgan seems to be hyped up and quite excited, but Cordelia, holding her TV Championship over her shoulder, doesn’t appear to be quite as thrilled. Morgan easily and quickly picks up on this and immediately begins to check in on her younger sister.
Morgan: You would think that one would be a lot more excited about getting a shot at the vacant SCU Underground Championship!
Cordelia: Well… I definitely have multiple problems with this arrangement, I will say that for a fact right now.
Morgan: It’s always something, isn’t it Cordy?
Morgan has a bit of a laugh to herself, but Cordelia doesn’t find this comment all that funny.
Morgan: Lighten up a little, will you? This battle royal is going to be a blast with TWO potential best case scenarios. Either I win the battle royal and we BOTH end up being champions or you win the whole thing and you’re a double champion. What’s not to like? This is an incredibly big opportunity here. It’s not every day that you’re going to get a shot at the biggest prize in the company after all.
Cordelia: Where do you want me to begin with why I’m being a bit of a grouch with this match? I’ve got a laundry list full of reasons not to be happy about it. For starters, the last time I was in a battle royal, the vapid whores ganged up on me and made me the first elimination. You think I’m over that? Because I’m not. That was embarrassing.
Morgan: But this time, anyone that wants to mess with you, has to deal with me as well. There isn’t anyone ganging up on you this time. The strategy is very simplistic but very effective. We just work together on getting rid of everyone else, have it down to just the two of us and then whoever is better will win.
Cordelia: You really think you can take me one on one though?
Cordelia says this with a scoff.
Cordelia: You do realize that coming up through the Indies that I was more highly touted as a prospect right? Are you sure you want it to come down to that? Ugh… why am I even entertaining this right now? I mean… the powers that be… they’ve run out of ideas, clearly. I can’t even get on the main show of Blaze of Glory and on top of that, I can’t even get another title defense. Not even that much! But hey, if this is how they want to put their cards on the table, so be it. What they don’t realize is that when we’re working together, we’re incredibly strong. When you and I teamed up two weeks ago against those two losers and ran through them pretty nicely, that was a message to the locker room. I don’t know if they’re trying to test our loyalty to each other or something because we’re both going to want the same thing, but as I have proven time and time again since my arrival, there isn’t a challenge in SCU that I can’t handle. I WILL be a double champion tonight!
This last sentence really doesn’t amuse Morgan at all.
Morgan: WHAT? You already HAVE a title!
Cordelia: I’m in this match too for some reason, so I have every right to win it just like you do. Plus, it IS a title that is higher up the ladder.
Morgan: Yeah, but… gosh Cordy, you’ve never been one to learn how to share. I want my moment too, you know? I didn’t come here to be your understudy or your second in command. I came here to get mine too.
Cordelia: Are you saying I should hold myself back so that you can win?
Morgan: No but…
Morgan pauses suddenly, as if she just came to a realization about something. She’s not angry at this point, but she is more amused than anything.
Morgan: This is what they want… for us to bicker and fight. Divide and conquer! Don’t fall for it, Cordy. We’ve got to come up with a solution.
Cordelia: You’re right. OH… I got it. If you win, then you win. You have the Underground title. If I win… then I will gladly let you have the TV Championship that I have now. That way… one way or another… we BOTH get something out of this.
Morgan’s eyes light up upon hearing this.
Morgan: That is BRILLIANT, Cordy! BRILLIANT! Alright… consider it a done deal!
Cordelia: Good! Now let’s go out and dominate this thing!
Morgan and Cordelia nod at each other with confidence before they exit the scene together. They’re feeling incredibly strong about their chances that the scheme that they came up with is going to be effective as the scene cuts out.
Underground Championship
Triple Threat Match
Stewart Mason vs Dax Beckett vs Father Gerald Shepherd
Darlyn: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a Triple Threat Match for the Underground Championship! First, from Winnipeg, Manitoba, standing at 6’ and weighing in at 235lb, he is “The Bounty Hunter” Stewart Maaaaaaaaasonnnnnnnnnnn!!!
“The Hunter” by Mastadon begins playing over the speakers. Stewart Steps on the stage, wearing black pants and combat boots, with Black Handwraps, he takes in the reaction of the crowd, and is joined by Gail Weston, together they walk to the ring, Gail climbs the ring steps and steps through the ropes and walks to the center of the ring, Stewart climbs the ropes from outside and points to himself then climbs down from the ropes, and joins Gail in the center of the ring.
The opening of "Hail to the King" by Avenged Sevenfold begins playing and red and white lights begin flashing across the stage and out into the audience.
Darlyn: From Anaheim, CA standing at 6’4” and weighing in at 235lb, he is… Dax Beckett!!!
He strokes his beard, an intense look on his face as he comes to the center of the stage. He shouts out at the crowd, holding his arms out at his side as he does a slow 180 degree turn, slowly walking backward. Once the music completely picks up, Dax turns around and charges down the aisle. He darts around the ring, stopping periodically to pose for the fans, whether they like it or not. Once he makes his way around the ring, Dax jumps onto the apron and charges his way up the nearest turnbuckle. Dax ascends and nods his head to the music, his fist in the air. He jumps off and flips, landing on his feet as he jogs in place, waiting for his partner
A white light flashes over the crowd that is almost blinding. It returns to a more tolerable brightness as "Spirit In the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum begins to play through the arena. The crowd boos and gets louder when the announcer speaks up.
Darlyn: On his way to the ring from Tulsa, Oklahoma he is 6'6" and weighed in this morning at 275lb. Representing The Church of The Good Shepherds he is Father Gerald Shepherd!
And the boos become louder. Gerald runs out onto the stage, throwing his hands in the air, looking up. He nods his head and smiles when he goes back and forth across the stage. He holds His Holy Word in his hand as he shouts out a verse. He walks down the ramp as he continues to read. He sits it on the ring steps and runs up them. He walks across the apron as he seeks His praise. He gets inside of the ring and slowly spins around before settling in a corner and waits for the match to start.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Gena: Gerald and Dax start things off with one another, going at it by trading punches. Gerald quickly gets the better of Dax, sending him into the ropes. As he comes back, Gerald plants him with a Spinebuster!
Chad: Gerald quickly goes down for the pin after such a devastating maneuver.
One!
Gena: Stewart barely lets it get to a one count as he drops an Axe Handle Smash to the back of Gerald, causing him to let go of the pin attempt.
Chad: Stewart kicks Gerald right in the face. As Gerald stumbles off of Dax, Stewart comes after him with more kicks, but Gerald deflects many of them. He gets to his feet as Stewart backs him up to the ropes.
Gena: What is Gerald to do to get out of this? An Eye Rake of course. Gerald then boots Stewart in the gut as he sends him into the ropes. He’s looking for another Spinebuster.
Chad: But Dax grabs onto his feet as Stewart leaps into the air for a Cross Body as Dax rips his legs out from under him, giving him a whiplash effect!
Gena: Dax stands up to his feet, as does Stewart. Dax extends his hand to Stewart, and Stewart accepts, but then chops Dax! He hits a second chop as Dax stumbles back. However, Dax gets a chop of his own, then he goes for an Enziguri.
Chad: Stewart ducks the Enziguri, and goes for a Roundhouse Kick, but Dax ducks under that. The crowd gets into things as Dax goes for a Leg Sweep Kick, but Stewart jumps over it. It’s almost as if both men have studied each other’s moves extensively.
Gena: Stewart looks for a Yakuza Kick, but Dax grabs the foot and trips Stewart up. The crowd is ecstatic as Stewart kips up to his feet and both men give a respectful smile. However, Gerald finds his opening as he hits a Double Clothesline From Hell on both men, leveling them.
Chad: Gerald looks on in disgust at both of his opponents as he spits on the ground. He picks Stewart up from the mat and hits a Scoop Slam onto him, landing him right on top of Dax. Gerald rolls Stewart off of Dax and kneels down, hooking the leg.
One!
Two!
Kickout!
Gena: That was nowhere near enough to put down the former multi-time champion, Dax, but it was a smart move. Gerald shakes his head as he stands up, lifting Dax to his feet. He nails a Running Bulldog to Dax, landing right on top of Stewart. He leans down and pins both men.
One!
Two!
Double Kickout!!!
Chad: Both smaller men working in unison as they lift Gerald off of them, dumping him to the mat beside them. They both leap on top of Gerald, pinning him down with all of their might.
One!
Two!
Kickout!
Gena: Gerald gets a powerful shoulder up. He’s not about to give up his title like that. But Dax and Stewart toss Gerald to the outside. Stewart turns and hits a Chop Block to Dax.
Chad: He then hits an Uppercut that rocks Dax. He sends him into the ropes. He looks for a Tilt-A-Whirl Slam, but Dax whirls right out of it, and hits a knee to Stewart’s face.
Gena: Stewart holds onto his nose, and then kicks Dax right in the stomach. He looks for the Paid in Full (Implant DDT), but Dax shoves him out of the way.
Chad: Dax tries for a Crescent Kick, but Stewart ducks and does a Legsweep. Stewart stomps him a few times before lifting him up. He Irish Whips him, but Dax ducks, and dives through the ropes, hitting Gerald as he rises!
Crowd: BEARDED LIGHTNING! *Clap Clap Clap* BEARDED LIGHTNING! *Clap Clap Clap* BEARDED LIGHTNING! *Clap Clap Clap*
Gena: Dax rolls back inside. Gerald slowly gets back to his feet as Dax charges once more with a second Suicide Dive! The crowd goes nuts as Dax uses the barrier to get back to his feet. He leans in as the fans pat him on the back and shout words of encouragement at him.
Chad: He looks to both opponents and he picks Stewart up and rolls him inside of the ring. He gets onto the apron and looks out to the crowd. They continue to chant for him as he gets inside and sets up for the Best Finisher Ever!
Gena: Gerald comes out of nowhere and trips Dax up, causing him to fall on top of Stewart! The crowd is booing as Gerald rolls inside of the ring and drops a knee to the back of Stewart’s head. He hits the Ray of Light (Diamond Cutter) on Dax! He goes to hook the leg!
One!
Two!
Three!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Darlyn: Here is your winner and STILL SCU Underground Champion… Father Gerald Shepherd!!!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
“Spirit in the Sky” plays as Gerald kneels down, holding the belt up toward the sky as a spotlight shines down on him. He gives many thanks to the Lord above as he holds the belt close to him. Stewart picks up his briefcase and holds it up in the air.
Gerald: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Crowd: YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Gerald looks around to find what the crowd is cheering at. His eyes widen as he stares down at Stewart. He shakes his head as Stewart nods his head. Gerald stands up, and as Stewart looks to get inside of the ring, Gerald kicks through the ropes, and Stewart stops. He smirks as he goes toward the ring steps, and Gerald shouts out as he swings the belt at Stewart. Stewart ducks it and bashes Gerald with the briefcase, getting the crowd to go even more wild. Gerald stumbles back, busted open. Stewart looks around and then shakes his head, stepping down the ring steps. He walks to the rampway as Gerald continues to shout at Stewart.
