BARCLAYS CENTER - BROOKLYN, NY

CONFLICT IS LIVE FROM BROOKLYN INSIDE BARCLAYS CENTER...THE HOME OF THE BROOKLYN NETS!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Welcome Everyone to CONFLICT! Let’s roll some footage from earlier regarding tonight’s opening bout.

EARLIER TODAY...

In a gym in Brooklyn, Trixie and Manny have been working hard for their respective matches tonight. Trixie’s loss the previous Mainstream show just gone weighing on her as would any title loss and Manny calls the time out to end their sparring session as the pair grab some water and sit on the apron.

TRIXIE: Sorry I was so intense. Just the Dogs of War totally get to me. Especially Tillman.

Mariano grabs her shoulder, patting it a bit.

MARIANO: The important thing, chica, is not giving them any more credit than they’re due. I beat Mitsuo Shimada and Tiger Mask Red in KAMIKAZE Pro, Devin Hearst in GRINDHOUSE, and Mark Storm in 4CW. I ain’t saying none of them are less than great because of that, but at the end of the day, the Dogs of War are people just like you and me, mang.

He nods.

MARIANO: Cry Havoc all they wish, but they fight like us, they bleed like us. And they can be beaten, just like us, mang.

TRIXIE: Well I did defeat Jack and Devin at Kamikaze Pro, so I do know it’s totally possible. I just wanted to take the title away this time, since Tillman took so much from me in NGW.

Manny sighs, assenting again.

MARIANO: There’s a reckoning that always comes, mang, for all of us. And for Tillman it ain’t no exception. Just wasn’t the place, wasn’t the time, that’s all.

TRIXIE: No.

She sighs slightly before patting herself on the leg.

TRIXIE: But I’m going to work hard to get us back there and royally make those Dogs of War cry a river when DaTrixTurners win those tag team titles. We just need to work harder. Like we did today.

Manny chuckles at that.

MARIANO: I like that, mang! They want to Cry Havoc, but you’re gonna make them cry a river. Definitely the right mindset.

He winks, and gets up, adopting a poetical tone.

MARIANO: “... that this FOUL DEED shall smell above the earth, with carrion men, groaning for burial!”

Seeing Trixie raising an eyebrow, he lifts a hand.

MARIANO: … That’s from Shakespeare, mang. Where the whole Dogs of War thing comes from.

TRIXIE: Well let’s put Poetry in motion and you totally have a great match against AJ and I’ll totally take on Lisa and both of us win.

MARIANO: AJ Knight is a former Pride Champion, and Lisa, well - she’s Lisa. No shortage of work for either of us, chica. But Hammerstein was a big loss, and I’ve only now began to regain some momentum for myself here in Seattle. Beating a former champion, longest reigning champion in fact, well, it only adds up to that. And that’s exactly what I aim to do, mang.

TRIXIE: I did beat Hammerstein very recently when he debuted in EWC Prime so I did manage to get that win back. I know you will too, Manny. I’m just falling back on that match, that I can and have proven I can beat a Seattle Pro Champion and I’ll be able to really give Lisa an amazing contest but still edge out ahead. I have so much respect for Lisa, you don’t even know.

She chuckles to Manny

MARIANO: I don’t even know how many belts that lady has, mang. Huge win for you if you get one, and I hope to the Maker you do.

He makes a face.

MARIANO: Wouldn’t be so certain about Lisa’s respect though. She don’t seem the kind to pay it back.

But then, however, he grins again.

MARIANO: Which makes the win all more worth it, right?

Impressed, Trixie gives his cheek a quick kiss.

TRIXIE: You know me so well. Totally will be.

As she shunts onto her feet and goes to find herself a much needed shower before the pair would leave and find their way to the arena. Mariano stays paralyzed, watching her go, as his face flushes red.

MARIANO: Andraste guide you, chica.

He then walks to his own locker room, for a shower of his own.

[Robert Daniels]

“Fear of Dying” by Jack Off Jill blasts out over the speakers; a thunderous flurry that soon draws Lisa out to the stage. Lisa steps out, drops to her knees and throws both arms out at her sides, pulling some applause from the crowd.

GRAHAM STEVENS: This match is set for ONE FALL! Introducing first from Glasgow, Scotland. Standing at five feet and six inches tall. She is...LISA—SELDON!

Lisa pops back up and saunters down to the ring, beaming a smile as she takes her time with it. Never breaking her stride she hops up onto the apron, leans back to shoot a wink into the nearest camera and then hops up over the ropes. She lands with her arms out stretched and does a little spin for good measure. She then takes her corner and hops up for a seat on the top turnbuckle.

"Take It Off" by The Donnas begins to play throughout the arena when Trixie comes out from behind the curtain with sunglasses on with a denim waistcoat on. She poses at her side as she removes the sunglasses and the waistcoat slides off her arms. Trixie begins walking down to the ring with a confident smirk.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now introducing her opponent. Standing at five feet and six inches tall. From Las Vegas, Nevada. Making her way to the ring she is known as the ‘Bad Kitty’—TRIXIE!

Her stride down to the ring is slow to allow for fans to get a glimpse of her. Trixie leaps onto the ring apron gracefully and walks along the apron before entering and jumping onto the second rope posing before she leaps down off the ropes.

SINGLES MATCH
★★★ TRIXIE ★★★
vs
★★★ LISA SELDON ★★★

The bell rings and Lisa Seldon initiated the collar and elbow tie up with Trixie. Trixie quickly gains the leverage and turns it into a side headlock. Seldon shoves her off into the ropes but Trixie comes back strong unfortunately eating a spinning back elbow on Trixie. She stumbles back and watches as Lisa runs and jumps off the second rope to hit her springboard sunset flip only for Trixie to escape it by rolling back on her feet and superkicks her directly on the forehead with enough force and momentum, Trixie hangs on the ropes once Lisa jumped off to stop herself moving to just catch her breath.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Tonight we see the top two women in Seattle Pro Wrestling do Battle!

CHARLES HUDSON: Don’t sell yourself short Lou. You’re pretty important around here too!

Lisa slumps against the turnbuckle while Trixie shoots in after her on a head of steam, leaving her unable to stop as Lisa gets both knees up, sticks them in Trixie’s chest and drives her down into the mat. Lisa rolls out and leaves Trixie flat.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Lisa Seldon out the gate fast!

Trixie looks up just in time to see Lisa step through and obliterate her with a Penalty Kick. Trixie goes limp as Lisa drops into the ropes and fires back with momentum. She then rolls straight over the top of her opponent and stands up into a Fireman’s Carry.

CHARLES HUDSON: She’s got her up!

Trixie drops her back down to her feet and Seldon lands a roundhouse kick but she misses her spinning back elbow for Trixie to retaliate with the ‘Hardest Slap Ever’ that sends Lisa down and the crowd chanting "Hardcore Slap" as Trixie shakes out her hand and then gets a clutch hold on Lisa as she brings her up for her bridging fisherman's suplex for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Just in time!

Lisa takes a run toward the nearest corner and dives into a Death Valley Driver, crushing Trixie against the buckles and driving her straight down into the mat.

CHARLES HUDSON: Lisa rolls from the wreckage and sees Trixie stacked in a heap.

With barely a second thought she charges at the ropes, fires back and leaps into a Dropkick that hangs pitilessly in the air, before crashing down like a hammer.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Lisa lifts Trixie and then sends her into the ropes and then gets put on the top rope.

Lisa lands herself a couple of strikes before attempting a springboard enziguri only for Trixie to block it with both her forearms and then leaps off the second rope for her diving ‘Sexy Makeover’ single knee face buster into a Split Legged Face buster for 1...2...NEARFALL!

CHARLES HUDSON: She almost had Seldon!

Trixie rolls over frustrated only to come back firing off a wicked flurry of shots that keeps Lisa down. She then leaps up, throwing one leg over the other and flying at Lisa with the Busaiku Knee. Unfortunately for her Lisa gets there first, throws up a Straight Kick into her chest.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Lisa Seldon nearly turning Trixie inside out.

Trixie pulls herself up using the ring rope and knocks Lisa away from her with a quick superkick to the inside of the knee. Trixie then runs past Lisa and bounces off the ring ropes to run at her full force and hit her Busaiku Knee. Lisa bounces off her back onto her knees and Trixie runs off the ring ropes again, this time landing her bulldog move on Lisa and begs her to come back up. Lisa staggers back to her feet so Trixie can hit her split legged Sexy Stunner and hooks the leg for 1...2...KICKOUT!

CHARLES HUDSON: What’s it going to take to put Seldon away?

Lisa rolls over and lays under the bottom rope but catches herself from falling down to the floor. Trixie doesn’t even have time to extract herself before Lisa springs back up on the apron and leaps up onto the top-rope, she jumps off into Trixie and nails a Spike Hurricanrana!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: That move was simply beautiful surely she’ll end it right now!

Seldon is back up on her feet and she forgoes the pin attempt. She lifts Trixie up to her feet and tucks her had under her arm and lifts her up for a Suplex but instead hooks the leg and hits her patented “Evil Dead” fisherman’s driver then hooks the leg for 1...2...3!

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner by pin fall...LISA—SELDON!

Lisa Seldon rolls over to a single knee and celebrates her victory while her music begins playing and the official raises her arm.

CHARLES HUDSON: Congratulations to Lisa Seldon on her win over Trixie!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: After the break we’ll see Mariano Fernandez go one on one with AJ Knight!

DURING THE BREAK...
Samantha Kinsley is standing by.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Ladies and Gentlemen, Eli Buchanan.

Eli enters into view of the camera and offers Samantha a nod.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Thank you for taking the time to speak with me, Eli. Later tonight you will
team with your fellow Killswitch member, and the current SPW World Champion,
Hammerstein to face off with Dogs of War members, Jack Tillman and Mark Storm
for the SPW Tag Team Titles, but I wanted to get your thoughts on the $50,000
bounty that was recently put on your head.

Eli snickers.

ELI BUCHANAN: Samantha, don’t get your hopes up. There’s no way you’d be capable of
cashing in on that bounty. To answer your question… Ah, it was a question
right? Yeah, never mind. To answer your enquiry, despite the fact that this
thing with “The Invasion” shouldn’t have anything to do with me here in Seattle Pro, that 50k bounty is definitely at the back of my mind heading into this match with the Dogs of War tonight. Tillman and Storm are two of the top competitors in the world right now, and while I’d like to say we hold each
other in high regard, ever since I decided to “leave the jungle”, if you catch my meaning, I apparently have found myself on the outs with all the Dogs of
War. I know Tillman and Storm are more than willing to put me on the shelf to split that bounty. They’d be stupid not to.

Eli looks off to his left and the camera pans around to show Hammerstein approaching. Eli grins and looks back towards Samantha.

ELI BUCHANAN: Good thing I have this man watching my back for me, the only “good brother”
I need. If Tillman and Storm think they’re going to collect that money, they have another thing coming. This dogs want to go to war with Hammer and I, they’re about to bite off more than they can chew. Billy, I hope you’re a forgiving man, because you boys are about to lose your Tag Team Titles for you.

He turns to Hammerstein.

ELI BUCHANAN: Come on, Hambone, it’s time for us to “Flip the Switch”.

The two of them bang fists and walk off, leaving Samantha by herself.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: McKayla, Charles, back to you two.

[Robert Daniels]

The arena lights suddenly go down, and a Trollface appears on the big screen.

problem?

"DOESN'T TAKE MUCH AND THAT'S MESSED UP
BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE DO A LOT OF SIMPLE SHIT TO IMPRESS US!"

“...YOU CAN'T ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS IF YOU DON'T TAKE THAT CHANCE
SO GO PRY OPEN THAT TRUNK AND GET THOSE AMPS, YOU KNOW-"

The lights come back on, and after a huge pyro blast, Mariano is standing at the stage entrance, posing to the crowd going wild. He then begins striding decidedly and steadily to the ring.

“In the days of kings and queens I was a jester”
“Treat me like a or they treat me like a leper”
“They see me move back and forth between both”
“I'm trying to find a balance”
“No reason or rhyme!"

GRAHAM STEVENS: Ladies and Gentlemen...Welcome to CONFLICT! This match is set for ONE FALL...Now making his way to the ring standing at six feet tall and weighing in at one hundred and eighty pounds! From Buenos Aires, Argentina, by way of Miami, Florida. He is the “GADFLY”…MARIANO—FERNANDEZ!"

Once he climbs the apron and passes between the ropes, he raises his fist to the air, receiving a HUGE crowd pop!

"I'm trying to find a balance, I'm trying to build a balance.”
"No reason or rhyme!”

As the music and the lights come back to normal, Mariano takes his place in his corner as he is now awaiting his opponent.

“Until the End” by Breaking Benjamin begins to play as AJ Knight steps through the curtain and saunters out onto the stage. He walks down the ramp with a confident look on his face.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now introducing the challenger from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Standing at six feet and one inch tall. He is...AJ—KNIGHT!

Knight begins walking down the aisle and is slapping hands with the fans prior to rolling in under the bottom rope and poses standing on the middle ropes in the opposite corner with his arms raised high in the air.

SINGLES MATCH
★★★ MARIANO FERNANDEZ ★★★
vs
★★★ AJ KNIGHT ★★★

The bells rings and after circling and studying each other for a few moments, Mariano and A.J. Knight lock up. A.J. seems to get the upper hand, but Manny sends him to the ropes with an Irish Whip. A.J. is quick to catch him with a headscissors on the rebound, and DA #TROLL GUY is sent to the mat! But as Knight charges at him to follow up, Manny stops him short with a Rolling Koppu Kick that causes A.J. Knight to staggers back and Mariano goes for a dropsault. The former Pride Champion goes down, and Manny attempts to pick him up but is caught off guard by a roll-up for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: This is one I’ve been waiting for all week long!

CHARLES HUDSON: As both wrestlers get up after that quick pin attempt, A.J. smirks at Fernandez deviously

Manny to cocks his head to the side and yells to A.J.; “Close one, mang.”
A.J. continues his head games as he begins a “PEG! PEG! PEG!” chant trying to rile up Mariano, causing him to go red-faced and then goes for the lock-up. He attempts to force Manny into the turnbuckle but Manny hangs onto the ropes, stretchng his legs forward explosively and staggering back once more. Now rushing forward, Manny drops him with a Bulldog, then quickly puts him in a Camel Clutch. Manny yells “DA #PEG GUY!” out loud and the crowd pops hugely but Knight scampers towards the ropes, grabbing them which causes Manny to instantly release the hold.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: With both men on their feet again, the two wrestlers grapple once more.

Fernandez gets the advantage and attempts to grab Knight. However, A.J. lands behind him and catches him with the Holy Ouch! Manny drops down and Knight goes for the pick-up but Manny catches his leg and rotates it in a Dragon Screw, tumbling Knight over onto the mat. Mariano tries once more to come in aggressively towards the legs but A.J. isn’t having it and manages to sweep Mariano’s feet out from under him! Rather than jumping on top of him though, A.J. gets back to his feet to gain his positioning but Mariano is back to his feet just as quickly. Mariano goes for a mid-section kick but A.J. Knight catches his leg, flashes a smile and taps his head indicating his intelligence while Manny sees the opening, steps up and hits him with his free leg for The Gadfly! Fernandez makes the cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

CHARLES HUDSON: Mariano is back to his feet!

He brings A.J. up with him but suddenly, Knight pushes off Mariano’s hands and gets the upper hand after a quick jawbreaker and Mariao falls to his knee, A.J. Knights attempts to catch Mariano in the Jujigatame Armbar but before he can put his leg over Mariano’s arm, however, Fenrandez manages to power out of the hold.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: A.J. Knight is quick to follow back up though as he grabs a side head lock on Fernandez, who sends him off into the ropes.

Fernandez hits the ropes also as the two criss-cross multiple times before Knight does a drop down causing Fernandez to trip over him. Knight grabs a side headlock once more as Fernandez rolls A.J. onto his shoulders but he easily gets his shoulder up. Fernandez tries to shoot him off into the ropes again, but Knight takes him down with a bulldog headlock! A.J. steals Fernandez's "Problem?" shout to the crowd!

CHARLES HUDSON: Knight gets Mariano back to his feet and Irish Whips Fernandez into the ropes.

Manny comes back and Knight goes for a dropkick but Mariano rolls down causing A.J. to hit nothing but canvas. Manny bounces off the ropes on the opposite end of the ring and mages to hit Knight with an Arrow in the Knee! #DA TROLLY GUY follows up with another cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Manny Fernandez makes his way onto the apron, looking to set up for a Warhammer!

A.J. gets to his feet and many springboards for the attempt but Knight manages to casually sidestep the Warhammer and he slaps on a Cravate which Manny attempts to break! A.J. temporarily releases it to avoid the counter before putting it back on while shouting "NOPE!" out loud! Manny attempts to turn over in the hold once more but A.J. rolls with it and keeps the hold locked in tightly, repeating his earlier exclamation "NOPE!" once more. Manny attempts the same thing once more before this time getting countered into a swinging neckbreaker by A.J. Knight!

CHARLES HUDSON: Both men lie on the mat but A.J. starts making his way up first.

Manny soon follows as now both men are back in the center of the ring where the two wrestlers begin to trade strikes. A.J. starts with a hard right. Mariano returns the favor with a front kick. Knight answers with a kick of his own and Mariano goes for a Spinning Wheel Kick but A.J. sidesteps out of the way which has Manny hitting nothing but air. As Manny Fernandez writhes on the mat in pain form his missed Spinning Wheel Kick, the former Pride Champion picks him up into a hammerlock…sets Fernandez up and drops him with a massive KNIGHTFALL DDT! A.J. makes the cover for 1...2...NEARFALL!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: A.J. is up and looks to whip Manny into the corner but Fernandez reverses, making an attempt of his own!

He whips A.J. into the corner but AJ sits down and shakes his head, stopping the momentum of the whip dead in it’s tracks. Fernandez tries it again but AJ holds his ground. Knight twists around again, now putting Fernandez into a top wrist lock. Fernandez rolls out of i, and drop toe holds A.J. He shoots over for the side headlock but A.J. pulls his head out of the way, grabbing a Fujiwara armbar out of nowhere! Fernandez struggles for a few moments but ultimately breaks the ropes. Fernandez goes for the backslide for 1...2...NEARFALL!

Knight grabs an arm...TEMPLAR STRETCH!! FERNANDEZ REACHES FOR THE ROPES... AJ ROLLS IT BACK CENTER...! FERNANDEZ ROLLS IT INTO A LATERAL PRESS for 1...2...KICKOUT!

CHARLES HUDSON: Mariano—Fernandez nearly had him right there!

Arrow To the Knee as AJ comes back up!! Fernandez goes to follow with a Koppu Kick... AJ rolls out of the way... Superkick to the back of the head! Knightfall sticks him and he makes the cover for 1...2...3!

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner by pin fall...A—J...KNIGHT!

Knight pushes himself up off the mat and he exits the ring quickly avoiding his arm being raised by the official. He wastes no time up the aisle as he looks back from the stage before ducking behind the curtain.

CHARLES HUDSON: What was that all about?

MCKAYLA LEWIS: I have no ideal other than the fact that he knows Billy Danielson and Scotty Latimer are signing a contract tonight for the #1 Contendership. This was a statement win for AJ Knight. After the break we see Killswitch take on the Dogs of War for the Tag Team Championships!

BACKSTAGE...
The feed switches to Samantha Kinsley, who looks like she'd rather be anywhere else.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Ladies and Gentlemen, my guest at this time...The Seattle Pro World Heavyweight
Champion…*sigh*...Hammerstein.

Hammerstein steps into frame, dressed in a black Killswitch t-shirt and wrestling gear. The World Title sits across his shoulder.

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN: You don't like me very much, do you, Samantha? It's ok if you don't. You're not the only one.

Hammerstein holds the title belt out towards the camera.

“But it doesn’t matter if you love me or hate me, you CANNOT look at what I've done since winning this title and not respect me.”

“Four title defenses, all successful, all clean wins, against some of the best our sport has to offer, in some of the hardest hitting fights Seattle Pro has ever seen. And all this in the span of three months.

While some “champions” in this sport treat their titles like some kind of bauble or trinket, I wear The Seattle Pro Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship with pride and honor.”

“While some “champions” like to sit in the back, relax, and watch the matches, I'm fighting in the matches.”

“And while some “champions” like to sit within the borders of the territory they're champion of, I'm out there, expanding the borders of THIS company. I'm carryin’ the Seattle Pro Wrestling banner everywhere I go. And that's why, on September 6th, in Madison Square Garden, I'm steppin into the ring, on Union Battleground soil, to represent Seattle Pro against one of the top names in this sport.”

“Why?”

“As Seattle Pro Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion, and, regardless of what anyone here thinks of me, I'm the face of this company. I represent Seattle Pro Wrestling everywhere I go. I love this company and I love this title…”

Hammerstein holds the title towards the camera.

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN: ...and I'm gonna represent this company and this title wherever I go...whether you, Samantha, or anyone else likes me or not.

“My name is Jacob Hammerstein, and I am YOUR Seattle Pro Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion!”

Hammerstein turns to walk out of frame, but Samantha stops him.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: But what about tonight?

Hammerstein turns to Samantha.

“Tonight, me and my brother, Eli are gonna take on a couple dogs who think they're gonna be the advance men for a takeover of this company.”

“Not as long as Killswitch is around. Jack Tillman and Mark Storm, The Dogs of War might dominate other places, but in Seattle Pro, Killswitch runs things.”

“And if Billy Danielson or Ryan Henderson wanna get involved, then we’ll flip the switch on them, too.”

Hammerstein looks at Samantha.

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN : We done here, Sam?

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Uh, yeah.

Hammerstein abruptly turns and walks away.

[Robert Daniels]

“Helter Skelter” by Zombie/Manson blares from the arena’s PA system and the crowd reacts with a roar as both Jacob Hammerstein and Eli Buchanan slowly steps through the curtain. Hammerstein is wearing the Seattle Pro Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship around his waist. Both are accompanied to the ring by his Jacob’s manager, Reese Kennedy.

GRAHAM STEVENS: This Match is set for ONE FALL and it is for the Seattle Pro Wrestling Tag Team Championships! Introducing first the challengers representing KILLSWITCH! He is the reigning Seattle Pro Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion...the “AMERICAN MONSTER”...JACOB—HAMMERSTEIN and the 2018 Emerald City Classic Champion...ELI—BUCHANAN!

Hammerstein and Buchanan enter the ring and await the entrance of their opponents.


“Passenger” by the Deftones begins to play through out the arena. The fans begin to boo loudly as a single strobe light hits the entrance way as smoke begins to cover the stage. Slowly making their way out is Mark Storm and Jack Tillman wearing a black leather jacket, Jack Tillman stops at the entrance way and looks towards the ring with a smile on his face. He breaks his trance as he looks out at the crowd but isn’t impressed with the audience as they slowly makes their way towards the ring with each of them wearing a Tag Team Championship title belt around their waists.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now making their way to the ring. Representing the Dogs of War! They are the Seattle Pro Wrestling Tag Team Champions...JACK—TILLMAN and...MARK—STOOORM!

Jack slowly makes his way up the steel steps and he enters the ring. Jack looks around at the fans in attendance and then begins taking his leather jacket off. Storm slides in under the bottom rope as the arena boos. Passenger slowly dies off in the PA system.

SEATTLE PRO WRESTLING
TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
★★★ DOGS OF WAR ★★★
[MARK STORM & JACK TILLMAN]
vs
★★★ KILLSWITCH ★★★
[JACOB HAMMERSTEIN & ELI BUCHANAN]

The bell sounds with Jacob Hammerstein and Jack Tillman starting this match off coming together with a collar and elbow tie up jockeying for position. As they near the ropes, Tillman spins Hammerstein into the ropes. The referee calls for the break, and as Tillman backs away, he slaps Hammerstein's face! Hammerstein smiles as he rubs his cheek, then drops Tillman with a right cross.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: It’s no secret that in the last two weeks The Dogs of War have already defeated Killswitch members Blake Mitchell and Aria Price in Portland. Can they do it again tonight against Hammerstein and Buchanan?

CHARLES HUDSON: I think they can and will!

The American Monster pulls The Dog of War up and whips him into the ropes, following him in on his blind side. Tillman rebounds off the ropes, then stops when he doesn’t see Hammerstein. He turns and ducks, narrowly avoiding a Hammerstein lariat. Tillman goes for a lariat of his own, but The World Champion ducks it. Tillman’s momentum carries him into the ropes, where Hammerstein takes him over the top rope and to the floor with a Cactus Clothesline.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Hammerstein slides under the bottom rope, gets to his feet, and runs the ropes.

As Tillman gets to his feet Storm hops off the apron, as does Buchanan. Both go over to their respective partners, while keeping an eye on each other, and roll them into the ring. Hammerstein crawls over to Tillman and drapes an arm over for 1...2...KICKOUT!

CHARLES HUDSON: Hammerstein makes his way over to Jack who’s still on the ground.

Reaching down, Hammerstein looks to grab Jack to bring him up, but Jack grabs Hammersteins middle finger and bends it back. Jack holds onto the finger as he makes his way up to his feet and makes his way over to Mark Storm.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Storm tags himself in and grabs Hammersteins other hand.

In unison, both Mark and Jack do a finger snap on both of Hammersteins hands. The pain brings Hammerstein to his knees as he looks at his fingers. Jack and Mark then run towards opposite ropes and come running back with a double knee strike to Hammerstein!

CHARLES HUDSON: Eli Buchanan is livid on the apron being prevented by the official from entering the ring.

Tillman exits the ring assuming his position on the apron. Meanwhile Hammerstein is still reeling. Storm has Hammerstein stunned. He signals for his springboard moonsault DDT combo but Buchanan then starts to enter the ring, causing Tillman to enter as well. The referee goes to make Tillman get out of the ring and Hammerstein springs back into action, timing Storm's moonsault perfectly and crashes into him with The POUNCE. Storm slams into the corner, and Hammerstein pops to his feet and launches himself into Storm with an Avalanche splash. Storm falls face first to the mat as the referee scolds Buchanan reminding him of the rules.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Hammerstein pulls Storm out of the corner by the leg and looks to make the cover but instead extends the hand tagging his partner into the match.

Buchanan steps into the ring taking the place of Hammerstein. Storm is beginning to stand up but it’s Buchanan grabbing him by the wrist and elbow looking to whip Storm into the ropes.

CHARLES HUDSON: Buchanan goes for a running closeline, but Storm ducks.

Buchanan hits the ropes as Storm comes to a stop. Storm tries leapfrog over him as Buchanan charges back at him, but Buchanan catches him and hits a Steiner-like belly-to-belly throw, taking Storm down hard to the mat and he makes the cover for 1...2...BREAK!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Hammerstein kicks Storm in the back breaking the pin attempt and it’s on.

Tillman enters the ring and clothesline’s Hammerstein over the top rope and down to the floor. The official immediately demands Tillman to report to the apron. Meanwhile Buchanan is trying to lift Mark Storm up but it’s Storm who takes Eli by the head and the other hand on the waistband of his trunks and leads him in face first to the middle turnbuckle!

CHARLES HUDSON: Storm turns around and starts to have a conversation with the ref.

With the refs back turned, Jack hops to the outside and quickly grabs Eli by the legs. Eli lands on his back in the ring. Around the ring post, Jack does a figure four leg lock. Eli is in pain as he slams his hands against the mat. Jack leans back and has a sick smile on his face as he enjoys the sound of the pain in the air. Hammerstein yells at the ref to pay attention. The ref finally does as he walks past Storm and starts to yell at Jack to get off. Storm quickly gets to the top rope and hits a double foot stomp onto the chest of Eli. Eli holds his chest as Jack let’s go of the hold and makes his way back to his corner.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Mark Storm is in full control with Hammerstein now back on the apron he’s anxious for a hot Tag but it’s Storm taunting him from inside the ring.

Buchanan comes up strong but it’s Storm rushing at Buchanan, but suddenly Eli Buchanan dumps him over the top rope. Buchanan rebounds off the ropes and catches Storm with a suicide dive! Buchanan quickly pulls Storm to his feet and tries for a German suplex. Storm blocks the manuever and tries to catch Buchanan with an elbow strike. Buchanan duck and grabs Storm in a full nelson and hits a release dragon suplex onto the steel entrance ramp.

CHARLES HUDSON: Buchanan lifts Storm and rolls him back into the ring.

Buchanan slides in under the bottom rope and he grabs Storm by the back of the head leading him into the Killswitch corner where he makes the Tag with Jacob Hammerstein. Tillman is losing his mind on the apron. Hammerstein lifts Storm up across his shoulder for a running powerslam, but instead of slamming him into the mat, he drives Storm into the corner. Hammerstein pulls him back off the turnbuckles, still draped over his shoulder, the turns and drives him into the opposite corner. Hammerstein hooks Storm's feet under the turnbuckles, tying him to the tree of woe. As Storm hangs from the turnbuckles, Hammerstein runs across the ring, slamming into the corner, before turning and running full speed and hitting a devastating cannonball!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Tillman is trying to get back into the match at all costs.

The official is all over Tillman warning him. Meanwhile Hammerstein with awesome teamwork tags Buchanan back into the match.

CHARLES HUDSON: Storm makes the hot tag to Jack Tillman.

Tillman is in and he drops Buchanan with a running double axehandle. Buchanan pops back up again and this time is met with a boot to the face!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Buchanan is down with Tillman looking to scoop him up but it’s Buchanan who knees Jack Tillman in the stomach, causing Jack to stumble back a bit.

As Eli makes his way over to Jack, Jack quickly recovers and trips Eli with a leg sweep. Pouncing on top of Eli, Jack mounts on top of Eli and starts to hit Eli with Open Palm Strikes. Eli covers up and does his best to defend against the attacks. Eli holds up his hand to push Jack back, but Jack takes the opening and grabs Eli’s arm and gets it into an arm bar. Eli frantically looks for a way to escape as he reaches out for the ropes as Jack bends the arm back. Hammerstein enters the ring hitting a sliding dropkick to the face of Tillman.

CHARLES HUDSON: Buchanan picks up Tillman from behind and deposits him on the top rope.

He begins climbing back up but Tillman hits him with a series of elbow shots that finally dislodge him. Buchanan falls to the mat but rolls backwards to his feet and clubs Tillman from behind with a leaping forearm, crotching the Dog of War as he’s trying to rise. Buchanan climbs to the top rope and grabs Tillman in a Dragon Sleeper. He lifts him straight up and hits an avalanche hardway suplex into the middle of the ring, with both men hitting hard on the mat both Hammerstein and Storm are stomping and making noise trying to motivate their Tag team partner into the corner and making the Tag.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Buchanan is up first and he charges in as Tillman is recovering in the corner.

He hits a step up knee strike to Tillman’s jaw and follows up with a snap mare, sending Tillman into the center of the ring. As Tillman is trying to regain his composure, Buchanan bounces off the ropes and hits a sliding lariat clothesline then makes an exhausted cover for 1...2...NEARFALL!

CHARLES HUDSON: Storm releases a huge sigh of relief as neither attempted to enter the ring while Hammerstein is slapping the top turnbuckle very hard!

Eli begins making the crawl into the corner first while Tillman is inching just a tad bit slower. Hammerstein is leaning far over the top rope anticipating the tag and Buchanan makes a last stitch effort to bring him in. Hammerstein enters the ring quickly stopping Tillman from making the tag. Storm is frustrated while Buchanan rolls under the bottom rope.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Hammerstein grabs Tillman by the head and looks for an Irish Whip but Tillman reverses then Hammerstein reverses the reversal!

Hammerstein whips Tillman into the ropes. Tillman’s velocity and their close proximity to each other cause Tillman and Hammerstein to collide, butting heads. Both men are down as the referee begins the count.

1!
2!
3!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Both Buchanan and Storm cheer their partners on, encouraging them to get up.

4!
5!

Both men get to their knees, facing each other. Tillman swings on Hammerstein, hitting him right on the jaw with a hard forearm. Hammerstein returns in kind, delivering a big forearm shot. Tillman with a forearm. Hammerstein with a forearm.

CHARLES HUDSON: The crowd is cheering along with each forearm shot.

Both men get to their feet. Tillman hits Hammerstein with another forearm. The American Monster forearms The Dog of War. Jack nails Jacob with a discus forearm that staggers him, but not enough to stop him from hitting Tillman with a discussion forearm of his own.

THIS—IS—WRESTLING!
THIS—IS—WRESTLING!
THIS—IS—WRESTLING!

The crowd chanting as both men try to stay on their feet. Tillman and Hammerstein have the same idea as both men go for discus forearms, cracking each other in the jaw. Both men collapse as the crowd cheers loudly.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Hammerstein closelines Jack over the top rope, but Jack lands on his feet and is able to recover.

Holding onto his neck, Jack takes a breather as he starts to walk along the outside of the ring. The ref tells Jack to get back in and Hammerstein motions for Jack to get more of an ass kicking. Jack waves them both off as he slowly walks over to the timekeepers table. Jack has a grin on his face as he looks at the Seattle Pro World Heavyweight Title that’s on top of the table. Reaching out, Jack grabs the title belt and takes a gander at it. Not liking his title being handled, Hammerstein slides under the ring ropes and makes his way over to Jack. Jack sees this and quickly the belt to Hammerstein.

CHARLES HUDSON: As Hammerstein catches the title, Jack rams Hammerstein into the nearby ring apron.

Jack quickly gets back into the ring and runs to the other side of the ropes. Running back, Jack Tillman baseball slides Hammerstein. The momentum sends Hammerstein into the guardrail. Jack sends Hammerstein over the guardrail as Jack returns to the ring awaiting preparing to win by count out.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: I can’t believe he’s perfectly okay winning this way.

1!
2!
3!
4!
5!

Buchanan enters the ring catching Tillman across the back with a diving forearm! Storm enters the ring and nails a clothesline on Buchanan sending them both crashing hard to the outside of the ring.

6!
7!
8!
9!

Hammerstein is up he climbs over the rail and dives under the bottom rope and beats the ten count by the official. Tillman begins stomping away at Hammerstein keeping him down on the mat. Hammerstein angrily pushes himself up off the mat as he grabs Tillman’s foot and he pushes him backwards hopping on one foot. Storm and Buchanan are fighting away on the outside of the ring.

CHARLES HUDSON: Our World Heavyweight Champion has Tillman just where he wants him!

Hammerstein now on his feet turns Tillman around with the swing of his leg and he kicks him in the stomach doubling him over. He looks to pick him up for the Hammersteiner screwdriver BUT Tillman breaks free. He steps back and kick Hammerstein in the thigh taking him down to a knee. Tillman wastes no time and he NAILS the Ballroom Blitz! Buchanan looks to slide into the ring but Storm pulls him back out! Tillman makes the cover on Hammerstein for 1...2...3!

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winners by pin fall and STILL Seattle Pro Wrestling Tag Team Champions! JACK—TILLMAN, MARK—STORM...the DOGS—OF—WAR!

Tillman rolls off of Hannerstein momentarily in disbelief but it’s Storm who jumps into the ring and celebrates with Mark Storm whom are both immediately handed both the Tag Team Championship title belts. The Dogs of War exits the ring quickly celebrate in the aisle after the official follows them to the outside and raises their arms in victory.

CHARLES HUDSON: Meanwhile Buchanan checks on Hammerstein inside the ring and the two look very disappointed in their losing effort.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Billy Danielson can sleep easy tonight after the Dogs of War have successfully defended his Tag Team Championships once again! Now after the break we’ll prepare for tonight’s Main Event!

[Robert Daniels]

AS I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH

"Gangster's Paradise" by Coolio begins to play throughout the arena and it’s Robb Daniels who walks out onto the stage. He is carrying a clipboard in his right hand and slapping the hands of some fans on his way down the aisle. He climbs the stairs, wiping his feet before stepping into the ring. He looks around at the audience before laying the clipboard down on the table which has a chair at each end. His music fades out as he awaits the next person to make their way out to the ring.

The acronym "G.O.A.T." appears on the screen, as it pulsates to the intro of Bad Guy by 3OH!3. The first verse hits, as Billy bursts through the curtain. He spreads his arms and smirks at the crowd, flashing both Seattle Pro Tag Team Championships around his waist, as all of the lights center on him. Billy keeps his arms out as he walk down the aisle, but just out of the reach of fans.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Please welcome the Seattle Pro Wrestling Tag Team Champion...BILLY—DANIELSON!

The mixed reaction really fills up the arena, as Danielson makes his way to the ring. He walks up the steps, and wipes his feet on the top step before entering the ring. Billy gets in the ring and stands at the far end of the table confidently.

“Dirty Angel” begins to play throughout the arena as Scotty Latimer walks out onto the stage with a half smile looking around at the audience before walking down the aisle.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Please welcome...BROOKLYN’S OWN...SCOTTY--LATIMER!

Latimer walks up the stairs, along the apron and then steps through and into the ring. He explodes with excitement leaning against the ropes and waving to his hometown fans while standing on the second rope in the corner when his music fades out. Latimer walks over to the table and he grabs the back of the chair. Daniels lifts his microphone and speaks.

ROBB DANIELS: Gentlemen...please take a seat.

Latimer pulls the chair out from under the table and he sits comfortable at the table. Danielson theatrically sits both Tag Team Championships on the table displaying them for Latimer and everyone else to see. Danielson then plops down in the chair, and kicks his feet up onto the table, while Robb remains standing but continues to speak.

ROBB DANIELS: For over a year the two of you...Billy Danielson and Scotty Latimer have been a thorn in my side and a pain in my ass...

Latimer innocently laughs along with the fans while Danielson scoffs and shrugs, looking completely disinterested. Latimer is completely immune to anything Robb was saying or did he care. He was solely focused with his eyes locked onto Billy.

ROBB DANIELS: Whether it was the Midnight Horsemen, Sex Appeal or now the Dogs of War you two have been thick as thieves until recently. Jealousy or whatever you want to call it—we’ve all had enough. Two weeks ago you guys fought for the sake of fighting with no clear winner. I’ve decided to give you both something worth fighting for!

Daniels lifts the clipboard.

ROBB DANIELS: Here in my hand is a contract for the two of you to sign finalizing one of the two Main Events for MAINSTREAM 14. The winner of your match will be the number one contender for the Seattle Pro Heavyweight Championship at FUSION 6 in Chicago on September 22nd! So with that said...once you sign this contract—absolutely no contact until the bell rings at MAINSTREAM 14 then you can slug it out but there is one thing. Their must be a winner. This match cannot end in a draw, count out or disqualification. Essentially you won’t be disqualified but if either of you try to cheat—then you’ll wish you hadn’t. So who’s first?

Daniels holds up the contract and begins walking it over to Scotty Latimer. Latimer looks up at Daniels and takes it. He immediately throws it in front of Billy Danielson as he leans forward staring him down daring him to sign it

SCOTTY LATIMER: How rude would it be of me to not allow the G.O.A.T and the Seattle Pro tag team champion to sign it first am I right Brooklyn?

The hometown crowd of Scotty Latimer explodes with cheers as Danielson sits there staring at Scotty with his head leaning into his hand propped up on the arm of the chair. Billy sits up, as leans forward, and looks at the contract. He grabs a pen, and feigns signing, but before Billy puts the pen to the paper, he drops the pen, and picks up his mic. The crowd shows their disappointment from Billy hyping them up.

BILLY DANIELSON: You know, Shitty-

Robb glares at Danielson, and Billy mouths “My bad”

BILLY DANIELSON: You know… Scotty, I still don’t understand the point of this match. You’ve had 2 chances to prove yourself and, as you can see from my beautiful titles here, you’ve failed both times. This is some participation ribbon stuff going on here, because only one of us is qualified to be #1 contender for the Heavyweight Title, and that’s me.

You lost at Fusion 5, not me. You’re the one that needed to prove something at Mainstream 13 and failed, not me. As far as I’m concerned, signing this contract is a waste of time. You’re a butt-hurt, delusional, talentless loser who is jealous because I came out on top, and the ONLY reason why you’re in this match is because you pulled the same tactics as a certain Rose sister that used to work here. You whined and complained until you got your way, and I don’t know about Robb or the rest of Brooklyn, but that’s not the type of person I want near MY Seattle Pro Heavyweight Title.

I could be wrong though, people in Brooklyn are weird like that.

Billy shrugs as the crowd boos, probably at Danielson insulting them. Scotty grabs his microphone. He leans back and looks at Billy and smiles.

SCOTTY LATIMER: If I'm so shitty then why did you run away from me?

The Brooklyn crowd popped as all Danielson could do is just shrug with an arrogant look on his face.

SCOTTY LATIMER: And if you are so great why are you surrounding yourself with another stable. Don't you get what I'm trying to say here? You can't do aannyythhiinngg by yourself. But here you sit holding tag belts by yourself and instead of defending them you send out your buddies to do it. And what gets me is you stand here and allow this disgrace to happen.

Scotty Latimer stares at Robb Daniels.

SCOTTY LATIMER: And as far as us being a pain in your ass you shouldn't mind too much considering all the money we made you….

The crowd reacted to Scotty’s statement and starts a Latimer chant.

SCOTTY LATIMER: Here's the truth...something that seems to avoid you Billy like a guy with a white shirt does ketchup….This is the first opportunity….and I'm not talking about some stupid tournament I might add where I get a fair one in one shot to become number 1 contender for the Seattle Pro title. And you want to know why this is the first time? Because over what the past year I've had to carry you. Before that I was saving the Pride title from obscurity. So from carrying Billy Danielson in Sex Appeal and unlike you also having success all over the country in other promotions it's kind of sad that this is my first real opportunity to become number 1 contender isn't it Robb?

Scotty looks at Daniels again who just looks back with no intention to answer

SCOTTY LATIMER: Let this all be sour grapes...that is fine. But it's plain and simple At Mainstream 14 I'm going to take what I deserve. I'm going to become the number 1 contender and in the process prove to you what I've been saying about you ever since you stabbed me in the back..and that's you can't get the job done alone I want you to bring out your buddies because it will only be sweeter for me to go through them when I beat you...and if you beat me then you would have proven exactly what I said. Now sign the contract. Be a man for once in your life!

Scotty tosses the microphone down and stands up. The crowd is going crazy as everyone waits for Billy. Billy begins to laugh into the microphone, as he shakes his head.

BILLY DANIELSON: Oh man, you really believe that don’t you? You really believe you are entitled a contendership, because you’re the only person that hasn’t gotten one. , you’re so delusional. You blame everyone else for your shortcomings, because when it comes down to it, you’ve never been good enough. You cry about your Pride title reign, FROM LAST YEAR. In the time it took you to win and lose that one title, I had already become the longest reigning Heavyweight Champion in this company’s history, on my way to becoming a triple crown champion, and do you know why that is Scotty?

Scotty looks like he’s about to say something but Billy cuts him off

BILLY DANIELSON: It’s because unlike you, I never sat and waited for an opportunity. I took my shots when I wanted them. I made my opportunities, and I certainly never put the blame anyone else. “I was too busy being a henchman”, “Robb doesn’t like me”, “My girlfriend broke up with me via twitter”, “A weird voice came on the speakers and it spooked me”. These are all excuses made by a delusional little boy that can’t cut it in the big time.

I am the Greatest of All Time, not just in Seattle Pro, but in this industry-

The crowd begins to chant

“GOAT”
“GOAT”
“GOAT”

BILLY DANIELSON: That chant is reassurance of that. I got where I am today by not letting my setbacks hold me down, but by doing whatever I had to do in order to get to the top. I’m the guy that walked in, beat Lion’s Rod’s King of the Lions and Heritage champion in the span of a week, and walked out. I’m the guy that, in one night, I beat every single champion in NGW. I’m the guy that went on a world tour with a GWP last winter, and when I decided I was leaving, they shut down for good because they knew their company was nothing without me. Hell, I’m the guy that is such an entertaining wrestler, Hollywood producers approached me, and now I’m making my acting debut in the coming months.

The crowd cheers for Billy’s acting career.

BILLY DANIELSON: You on the other hand… Well… you’re just a “performer” in a wrestler’s world. I mean, you still have a titles you don’t hold anymore, one of which you held for a day, in your twitter bio. You’re not on my level Scotty. You never have been. You talk about how I can’t do anything on my own, but you’ve always need that more famous crutch to justify your existence in this industry. It was my name, my group, my creativity that made you popular. It was your uncle’s coattails that gave you your foot in the door. It was your ex’s charisma that got you into the inner circles of certain places. You’ve never been synonymous with anything other than being in-league with someone better.

Even now, this glass ceiling you’re tapping on, is because you’re trying to enter the division that I’ve been a part of since INCEPTION. Even now, you’re only getting into MY division, in MY company, because I’M in the match. So if I were you-

Billy throws the contract back at Scotty.

BILLY DANIELSON: I’d sign this contract, before the fifteen minutes you have in the division it took you a year and a half to get into, are up.

The crowd ooo’s at what Billy said.

Scotty smiles…

SCOTTY LATIMER: Well it was at the end of that reign the longest title reign of any belt in company history. It's not whining...it all right there. Between the pride championship, allowing other Horsemen and pushing people who I thought deserved it more than me, thr this tag team title run it's all fact. There's no delusion behind it. Either you are stupid to not see my point or you are just trying to convince the world yourself I'm delusional because the world sees it too. Let's ask Brooklyn here. Am I delusional Brooklyn??

The crowd screams no as Billy just shakes his head.

SCOTTY LATIMER: Look we can do this bullshit all night and right up until 14. Just sign the damn contract chump...I mean champ.

Scotty signs the contract, and then points at it…

SCOTTY LATIMER: Go ahead..sign it big shot. And after I end this at 14 you'll have plenty of time to make your D list movies. What are you stalling for?

Scotty Latimer this time throws the contract in Billy’s face. Danielson cocks his head, and starts to smirk and laugh. Billy grabs the contract, and stands up as he takes off his jacket, as Robb Daniels motions for security to get into the ring. Billy puts his hand out, halting security.

BILLY DANIELSON: You know, Carter's in back right now... I bet you she'd love to find out what it's like to be with a REAL Champion... Just like Ru-

Scotty stands up, and kicks his chair out of the ring. The crowd explodes, as Security begins to rush in again. Scotty flips the table out of the way, as Billy signs the contract, and hands it to Robb. Billy ducks out of the ring, laughing, as Scotty runs to the ropes. Security pulls Scotty back, as a stage hand gives Billy his Seattle Pro Tag Team Titles. Billy raises them high in the air and taunts Scotty as he walks up the ramp.

[Robert Daniels]

“Beat The Devil's Tattoo” by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club plays as the lights begin to fade. Suddenly, spotlights begin pulsing beat of the drum while fog pours out of the stage. Amidst the haze appears a silhouette, arms outstretched.

'You have forsaken all the love you've taken
Sleeping on a razor there's nowhere left to fall
Your body's aching, every bone is breaking
Nothing seems to shake it, it just keeps holding on.'

Jacob Davies steps forward as a spotlight falls on him, walking with his arms still held wide and his eyes closed. In the shadows, just a few steps behind him, is Robert Roundhouse who reprimands fans and occasionally slaps their hands away as they reach out to touch 'The Prodigy'.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now introducing the special enforcer for tonight’s Main Event...the “Prodigy”...JACOB—DAVIES!

Davies reaches the end of the aisle and slowly lowers his arms, then breathes in deep and opens his eyes as he quickly exhales. He climbs onto the apron and enters the ring, stepping up to the ropes closest to the camera and throwing his arms out wide once more while leaning against the top rope. He surveys the crowd, lowers his arms, and steps back into the center of the ring.

"A'right, stop, stop, hold on, hold on, hold on--"

Suddenly, A.J. Morales's custom edit of "Champion" by Falling in Reverse hits the PA, cutting off whatever was playing before. As the lights near the entrance ramp turn gold, vapor starts hissing out of the fog machines and A.J.’s personal highlight reel starts to play on the big screen. The Revolution himself emerges from behind the curtain, strumming and headbanging along with every note as he approaches the ring. After a well-timed burst of flames on the stage, A.J. stops the air guitar and starts walking down the ramp, high-fiving anyone who reaches out to him.

GRAHAM STEVENS: This match is set for ONE FALL and it is for the Seattle Pro Wrestling Pride Championship. Introducing first from San Francisco, California, weighing in at one hundred and eighty seven pounds. He is the Seattle Pro Wrestling Pride Champion...’The Revolution’...A.J.—MORALES!

As the song launches into its chorus, A.J. vaults over the top rope with a somersault before popping up with a clenched fist salute, turning a full 360 degrees so everyone in the audience gets to see him head on. Then, he climbs up the nearest turnbuckle and mouths along with the lyrics as he looks right into the nearest SkyCam until the chorus ends, at which point he drops back down to the canvas and heads to his corner to remove his entrance jacket and square up for the fight at hand.

“Indestructible” begins to play through the PA system, the lights dim and bright blue spotlights circle around the stage. As the first verse is sung, Bryan Blaze enters from behind the curtain, and is instantly showered with nothing but the utmost hatred and excessively loud boos from the crowd in attendance. He wears a crimson red jacket and a Killswitch T-shirt on his upper body along with his regular ring attire but this time with the Pride Championship fastened tightly around his waist. Blaze struts down the ramp as fans continue to pelt him with hate and obscenities. As he reaches the bottom of the ramp, he drops to his knees and throws his arms up.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now introducing the Champion from Sydney, Nova Scotia. Standing at five feet and ten inches. Weighing in at two hundred and five pounds. Representing KILLSWITCH! He is the Seattle Pro Wrestling Pride Champion...BRYAN—BLAZE!

Blaze circles around the ring, until he gets to the far ring steps. He quickly steps up them and onto the ring apron. Blaze then climbs the second turnbuckle and outstretches his arms in a taunt on the crowd. From there, Blaze climbs to the top turnbuckle and then front-flips into the ring, landing on one knee and pointing to the rafters as the fans continue to boo.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Jacob Davies just low-bridged Bryan Blaze!

CHARLES HUDSON: Davies and Blaze were going at it over Social Media in the leadup to this match. It was only a matter of time before it reared it's ugly head.

Davies talks some smack to the Pride Champion as he is on the floor but Morales rolls out of the ring and gets in Davies face!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: AJ Morales letting Davies know he doesn't appreciate the help!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: AJ Morales proving it's going to take something special to put him down for the three.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: COME ON!

CHARLES HUDSON: Is this referee blind?! Jacob Davies is doing everything in his power to make sure Bryan Blaze doesn’t walk out with the Pride Championship!

Morales starts to stir, trying to shake some feeling back into his leg. Blaze is still clutching his back from the chair shot. Morales lifts himself to his feet and Blaze is up to a knee.

Morales charges past Blaze, springboards off the middle rope, catching Blaze with a DDT on his way down! He drapes an arm over for 1...2...KICKOUT!

Morales gets up to his feet, determination filling his eyes. He scales to the top rope again...Blaze springs up, shoving his feet off the top and Morales falls, straddling the top turnbuckle!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: I think Blaze does, too…

As Blaze reaches his feet...he hits the ropes flying over the top rope with a senton...taking out Davies...to the roar of the crowd! Blaze spits on Davies as the crowd explodes with chants of “YOU DESERVE IT!”

Just then, Aria Price, Blake Mitchell and Eli Buchanan walk out onto the stage.

A replay shows JACOB DAVIES actually ring the bell very early.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: It was all a ruse by DAVIES!

Davies slides into the ring as Morales hooks both of Blaze’s limp legs for 1...2...3!!!

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner by pin fall and NEW! Seattle Pro Wrestling Pride Champion...A.J.—MORALES!

AJ is handed the belt by Jacob Davies and he looks at him very confused. Killswitch is seen standing on the stage looking extremely disappointed. At this time they turning and begin heading to the back.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Jacob Davies inserted himself in this match by making that distraction. He just cost Blaze the Pride Championship.

Davies exits the ring backpedaling laughing up the aisle before ducking behind the curtain. Blaze is not back up to both feet. He looks confused over at Morales whom is now holding the Pride Championship. He quickly turns to see the reaction of Killswitch but he realizes they are no where to be found. Blaze exits the ring and makes his way to the back.

CHARLES HUDSON: Did Davies cost Blaze the match or did he just align himself with A.J. Morales?

MCKAYLA LEWIS: I’m not certain but I do know that Samantha Kinsley is trying to catch up with Bryan Blaze backstage. So let’s go back to her before we close tonight’s show...

---

BACKSTAGE...
Bryan Blaze is seen walking down a long corridor, a little groggy and breathing heavily following his Pride Championship loss to AJ Morales just moments ago. He comes to a stop abruptly. As the camera pans...we see Jacob Hammerstein, Eli Buchanan, Aria Price, and Blake Mitchell standing in front of the KILLSWITCH Locker Room. Blaze has a solemn look as he stares at them. It's written all over their faces. He failed. Eli was the first one he turned to.

BRYAN BLAZE: Eli, c'mon man. You all saw what happened. Davies screwed me!

Buchanan says nothing. His stoic look only dissipates when he literally turns his back to Blaze. Blaze seems hurt, unsure what to say.

BRYAN BLAZE: AP, Blake...you guys knew I was always in favour of the message you've tried so hard to convey. I’m one of you guys!

Like Buchanan, the couple stay silent, ultimately turning around. Blaze still wants to be heard. Finally, he turns to the Heavyweight Champion, Jacob Hammerstein.

BRYAN BLAZE: Jacob...we had a war for that title. I know we hold a mutual respect.

Hammerstein hands Blaze’s gear bag over...before dropping it on the floor, at Bryan’s feet. Blaze looks down at it for what feels like an eternity before picking it up. Once he does, Hammerstein too has turned his back. Blaze hands his head and proceeds out a nearby door into the parking lot.

Samantha Kinsley runs up to him.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Bryan! Can I get a word on what just happened?

It wasn't clear which thing she meant, but ultimately it didn't matter.

BRYAN BLAZE: I...

He couldn't do it. Cutting himself off, he simply walked away. CONFLICT comes to a close with the image of Bryan Blaze getting inside of a sedan and speeding up the ramp towards the exit.
