SATURDAY - 04/07/2018
WESTWORLD OF SCOTTSDALE - SCOTTSDALE, AZ

CONFLICT IS LIVE FROM SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA INSIDE THE WESTWORLD ARENA!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Ladies and Gentlemen it's Saturday Night and we're Live from Scottsdale, Arizona for CONFLICT! We have a huge show for you tonight, right Charles?

CHARLES HUDSON: You’re absolutely right Lou, don't forget, Hammerstein will be here tonight to announce the date that he is going to challenge for the Seattle Pro Heavyweight Championship.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: We're going to go to Samantha Kinsley, who is in the locker room area. Sam, has there been any sign of Hammerstein?

BACKSTAGE...
SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Lou, Charles, no sign of him yet. The locker room is abuzz, between the excitement surrounding the show, Hammerstein’s announcement, and of course with the random attacks that occurred at ENVY, everyone has grown eyes in the back of their head. We've got our cameras on and are waiting for Hammerstein’s arrival and watching for anything suspicious that could happen. Oh but wait it looks as if Derrick La’Bell has just arrived.

Samantha Kinsley is joined by a bandaged up Derrick La'Bell standing in the backstage area. He looks very upset, as Samantha looks eager to release some breaking news.

SAMANTHA KINSELY: Derrick, I understand you have a new update with the attack you received last month at MAINSTREAM 9 post match.

Derrick smirks a little bit, but his amusement goes away in a hurry. He begins to talk again.

DERRICK LA'BELL: Why, in fact, I do. See, I've had some time to look over the security tapes, try my best to remember the situation, hoping it would all come back to me. I wanted to be like AJ and just instantly hop on the "I hate Billy Danielson/Scotty Latimer" Bandwagon, because it makes sense. The thing is, I would've remembered those guys attacking me, because like they said, they would've made a spectacle about it. They're too egotistical not to. So i knew it wasn't those two chumps.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: So, do you know who it is.

Derrick lets out a little upset chuckle.

DERRICK LA'BELL: I may not be a hundred percent, because I didn't see the face of my attacker, but I do remember something. I remember his shoes. He stomped on my face and kicked me multiple times, and as I was laying I saw his shoes scamper off and go around the corner. I saw those same shoes shortly afterwards, on the person that "helped" me as well. 

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Are you saying one of the EMTs attacked you?

Derrick shakes his head.

DERRICK LA'BELL: No, oddly, because I wasn't initially helped by an EMT. It was somebody else. I believe that my attacker was...

“Blake Mitchell”.

Kinsley looks at Derrick with confusion.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Are you absolutely sure about this accusation?

DERRICK LA'BELL: The only thing that makes me think differently is why would Blake do such a thing to me of all people.

With that, Derrick walks away from Samantha, clearly on a war path. Samantha looks to the camera with concern, as the scene fades to black.

[Robert Daniels]

“Take it All Back” by Judah & the Lion begins to play throughout the arena as the curtain opens and Dayna Grace walks out into the stage slowly with the curtain closing behind her. She smiles and waves at the fans along the aisle while making her way down to the ring.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Good Evening Scottsdale! Welcome to Seattle Pro CONFLICT! This match is for...ONE FALL and it is a Seattle Pro Endurance Championship Contenders Match! Introducing standing at five feet and two inches tall. From Los Angeles, California...DAYNA—GRACE!

Grace walks slowly up the ring stairs and along the apron turning to looking out at the fans she strikes a pose before stepping into the ring and begins stretching in her respective corner.

"New Heights" by CFO$ is heard as the crowd begins cheering as Ryan Henderson makes his way out onto the stage, nodding his head to the music and as the guitar rift kicks in Henderson raises his arm up in the air, before beating on his chest trying to pump the crowd as well as himself.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now introducing the challenger standing at six feet and once inch tall, weighing in at two hundred pounds. He’s from Cleveland, Ohio...RYAN—HENDERSON!

Henderson makes his way down the ramp as he high fives the fans in the front row reaching out. You can see Henderson nodding his head to the beat of the song again this time towards the camera as he makes it to the bottom of the ramp as he looks around at the crowd, nodding his head once again as he runs forward and slides into the ring feet first as he jumps up to his feet, looking around again as he bends down before raising his arm up in the air and beating on his chest once again as he walks over to the turnbuckle, climbing it as he again pumps up the crowd, before hopping down as he removed his entrance jacket and tossed it to the outside, before beginning to stretch.

ENDURANCE CHAMPIONSHIP
CONTENDERS MATCH
Dayna Grace vs Ryan Henderson

The bell sounds as both Ryan Henderson and Dayna Grace circle around one another as the two lock up, before Henderson being the larger and stronger of the two is able to lock in a side headlock, wrenching down hard on Grace's head, before he quickly turns it into a Snapmare takedown as he charges towards the ropes and connects with a basement dropkick to the back of Dayna's head, throwing up an arm in the air to get a cheer from the crowd and as Dayna attempted to get up to her feet, Henderson charges against the ropes and manages to connect with a running knee strike to her face, attempting a quick pinfall but only getting a two count. Henderson looked around not losing his cool at all this early in the matchup. Both got to their feet as Henderson was standing in the corner before he performed a forward roll, before quickly getting to his feet and landing a front dropkick to Grace, nodding his head as he proceeded to quickly back up to a vertical base again as did Dayne only for her to attempt a clothesline attempt, which was ducked by Henderson who connected with a quick Step-over Enzuigiri that dropped Dayna down to the mat as Henderson hooks the leg for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Ryan Henderson just narrowly missed out on becoming the Endurance Champion back at MAINSTREAM 9.

CHARLES HUDSON: He was a shoe-in for this Contenders Series.

Henderson continued to impress and wow the crowd with his athletic maneuvers and athletic ability as he's able to springboard off the ropes, landing a Springboard european uppercut, quickly jumping to his feet as he charged forward and was able to land a Standing Shooting Star Press for a near fall, with Grace just barely able to get a shoulder up off the canvas. Henderson looked around and you knew how badly he wanted another crack at Eversol's Endurance Championship as he scaled the turnbuckle, climbing to the very top as Grace charged into the corner to try and prevent it however Henderson is again able to use his athleticism and leap off, managing to land on his feet and into a forward roll, before quickly utilizing a Backflip handstand headscissors takedown and then a kip up as he looked at the crowd who were on their feet for him. You saw Grace having rolled to the outside of the ring, thinking it might be safe for her but she was about to find out that it wasn't as Henderson charged towards the opposite ropes and before he dives over the ropes, Grace is able to quickly move out of the way, however Henderson was able to time it perfectly as he dove forward into the ropes bouncing off the ropes with his shoulders and landing on his feet as he flashed a smirk towards Grace on the outside, urging her back into the ring and as she did Henderson charged towards the ropes, rebounding off them in the same direction as Grace and as she quickly turned around Henderson leveled her with a Rebound clothesline that damn near knocked her head clean off her shoulders as Henderson dropped down for the cover for 1...2...NEARFALL!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: For the fans at home Charles explain the rules of this Championship Contenders Series.

CHARLES HUDSON: It’s a round robin style tournament spread out over various shows where each participant will face off against each of the other participants in the series and after everyone has faced the person with the best win/loss record will challenge for the Endurance Championship.

Both Grace and Henderson were beginning to feel the effects from the match as Henderson does a forward roll once again, quickly popping up to his feet as he manages to land the Revelator Rolling Thunder Jumping DDT, Henderson looks down at Dayna Grace and proceeds to scale the turnbuckle, once more scaling to the very top as he then walks along the ropes carefully before leaping off them and completing a beautiful Springboard 450 splash as he hooks the leg, but Grace is again just barely able to get a shoulder up before the referee's hand is able to hit the mat for a third time. You can slowly start to see some frustration building on Henderson's face as he begins to wonder what exactly he needs to do in order to get the win here tonight and get one step closer to getting another opportunity at the Endurance Championship. Grace attemps a forearm but Henderson is able to scout it and duck underneath before landing a Bicycle knee that rocks Grace, before completing the combination with a wicked Spin kick that drops Grace down to the mat. Henderson is next seen dragging her towards the corner as he proceeds to climb the turnbuckle, his back facing towards the ring as he stands there on top rope, extending his arms a bit before leaping off and hitting a Double moonsault, quickly hooking the leg and just as the referee is about to hit the mat, Grace is able to use her ring awareness to put her foot on the bottom rope during the 1...2...ROPEBREAK!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Such wherewithal inside the ring.

CHARLES HUDSON: She’s more than just a pretty face Lou. Girl has got a** on her too!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: I do apologize for that oversight by my colleague.

Henderson spots Grace on the ring apron, trying to back to her feet as Henderson walks over and takes hold of Grace through the ropes, before pulling her so he feet dangled on the middle rope, locking in a front chancery as he proceeded to let out a loud yell before dropping Dayna with a Rope-hung DDT. You can see Henderson is starting to feel it as he beats on his chest a bit, amping up the crowd as he waited for Dayna to reach a vertical base before landing a quick Sling blade, before following it up with a second Sling blade, before ducking a clothesline attempt and managing to get Dayna up onto his shoulders in an Electric chair drop position before throwing her off forward and catching her with his arms as he proceeded to land a Bridging german suplex, managing to get Grace's shoulders down for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: That was absolutely beautiful and the bridge was a sheet display of strength and stamina.

CHARLES HUDSON: Grace is again just able to kick out at the very last second.

Henderson was getting frustrated as he landed a few forearm shots to Dayna before landing a Spinning back elbow as you can hear the impact from the move go throughout the arena as well as the fans reacting to hearing that as well. Dayna was on wobbly legs and didn't know where she was as Henderson took advantage of that and charged at the ropes before springboarding off of them and landing a Springboard roundhouse kick that dropped Grace to the mat. Ryan got to his feet and signaled that the end was near as he lifted Dayna up to her feet before lifting her up onto his shoulders as he proceeded to throw her off in front of him before managing to connect with a 540 kick completing his Fatality finishing move as he collapsed into the corner and hooks Dayna's leg for 1...2...3!

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner by pin fall...RYAN HENDERSON!

Henderson rolls over to a knee and kneels while looking up at the fans in the arena. He pushes himself up and ascends the middle turnbuckle in the corner to celebrate his win. After the official raises his hand in victory he assists Dayna Grace up and the two share a handshake while Henderson’s music plays.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Tremendous sportsmanship between these two here tonight. Let’s hope we can expect the same from the other Contenders Match later tonight.

CHARLES HUDSON: Now with a change of pace Lou. After the break we’re going to see Billy Danielson and Scotty Latimer also known as Sex Appeal defend their newly won Tag Team Championships against the team of AJ Knight and A.J. Morales!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: We've gotten word that Hammerstein’s plane has just landed at The Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and that a car has picked him up and is on its way to the arena.

The crowd begins to get loud with anticipation.

CHARLES HUDSON: And this Scottsdale crowd is excited, because they know something big is going to happen anytime Hammerstein’s in the house.

BACKSTAGE...
We find “The Revolution” A.J. Morales sitting on a production crate, his two championship belts from outside XWA laid out across his lap. He’s not suited up for his match just yet, as his Jimmy Eat World T-shirt and Oakland A’s spring training cap, worn backwards and at an angle to show off the Arizona patch on the side, indicate. The sight of him brings out the same overwhelmingly positive reception live crowds all over the West have given A.J. since he came to this company.

A.J. MORALES: What’s good, Scottsdale?

He waits for the cheap pop of cheers to subside.

A.J. MORALES: So I know Conflict shows are supposed to be a little more low-key...well, low-key by Seattle Pro standards. Even then, it’s still a stacked show. But even if the whole card was no-names and they didn’t tape a second of it, this’d be a big night for me. I mean, how could it not be when I’ve got a shot at the SPW Tag Team Championships?

Once again, the crowd cheers. They’re clearly looking forward to the one title fight of the night.

A.J. MORALES: Now, I’ll be honest, these last couple matches here in Seattle Pro, they haven’t exactly gone the way I expected. The Heavyweight title match in San Jose, where I thought the stars had aligned for me to pick up my first world title, slipped through my hands at the last second. And ever since then, I’ve felt like I needed to make up for it.

A.J. puts his hands up for a moment as he continues with his point.

A.J. MORALES: Now, don’t worry, I’m not gonna be in petty mode, like you’ve probably seen me do in some other places I’ve been. I’m not out for revenge. Bryan Blaze beat me, fair and square. What I’m out for, really, is redemption. I figure the best way to make it up to all those fans back home who bought tickets to Lust specifically to see me take home some Seattle Pro gold is to finally give them what they paid for. And even though the way I won that triple threat at Envy wasn’t necessarily the way I wanted it to happen, it got the job done.

A.J. has to stop and catch his breath, but he’s back to talking again soon enough.

A.J. MORALES: So now I’m here, in a city where one of my heroes, Muhammad Ali, used to live. I’ve got that shot at redemption I’ve been looking for. And I’m about to team up with the Pride Champion, AJ Knight...

Another round of cheers for the well-liked, similarly-named champion.

A.J. MORALES: ...against no less than Billy Danielson and Scotty Latimer.

Those two names, on the other hand, provoke a chorus of boos.

A.J. MORALES: It’ll be a helluva challenge, but hey, I didn’t sign a contract here because the competition was easy. And I know I’m up to the challenge, because...well…

A.J. picks his BGDF Yin Yang Championship up off his lap and slings it onto his shoulder.

A.J. MORALES: ...let’s just say I’m not exactly new to this tag team thing. This Yin Yang title right here? I’ve held my half since the day of its inception. I won it in a tournament in Japan, and I never looked back. Not when the challengers tried to run interference and pick up a cheap win. Not when teammates disappeared on me and I had to get replacements. Not when defending it meant running a six-team gauntlet in a steel cage. I haven’t just held this title, I’ve defined it. I’ve made it quite possibly the most prestigious belt in Budokan Hall.

A.J. puts the belt back down, right on top of his XWA Hardcore Championship.

A.J. MORALES: So imagine what a guy like me and a guy like AJ Knight could do with these Seattle Pro tag titles. We play our cards right, and those belts are gonna mean more than ever before. But first, we gotta take it off a couple guys who, for all their talent, look like they’re gonna turn their run with the belts into the faction equivalent of a midlife crisis. I mean, how else do you go from leading an army of Horsemen to two generic-lookin’ dudes unironically calling themselves Sex Appeal? I mean, shit, you want sex appeal, just ask me to show off my abs.

A.J. pulls the front of his T-shirt up for a few seconds to show off his six-pack, and there’s a notably high-pitched bent to the sounds of crowd approval that follow.

A.J. MORALES: Haha...for real, though, I don’t really care what they call themselves right now. All that matters is that by the end of the night, they’re gonna call us the new Tag Team Champions—and in due time, the best tag champs this company’s ever seen. So Scotty, Billy...brace yourselves. Not only is the Horsemen Killer back on your tail, the Revolution’s road to redemption leads right through you.

One last round of cheers, and A.J. grabs the straps of each belt in one hand before he hops off the crate, playfully knocks on the lens of the camera, and heads off to get ready for the battle to come...

[Robert Daniels]

Suddenly, A.J. Morales's personal remix of "Champion" by Falling in Reverse hits the PA, cutting off the challenger's music. As the lights near the entrance ramp turn gold, vapor starts hissing out of the fog machines and A.J. Morales’s personal highlight reel starts to play on the XtremeTron. The Revolution himself emerges from behind the curtain, holding the XWA Hardcore Championship belt like a guitar, headbanging and strumming along with every note as he approaches the ring.

GRAHAM STEVENS: This match is set for ONE FALL! From San Francisco, California, weighing in at one hundred and eighty seven pounds. He is the XWA Hardcore Champion and one half of the BGDF Yin Yang Champions. The Revolution...A.J.—MORALES!

The instrumentation suddenly comes to a stop, and A.J. does too, leaning forward and bringing his arms close in. A.J. reaches the end of the ramp and climbs onto the apron, steadying himself. 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.

“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 and the Pride Championship fastened tightly around his waist.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now Introducing his tag team partner from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Weighing in at two hundred and twenty pounds and standing at six feet and one inch tall. He is the Seattle Pro Wrestling, Pride Champion...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 corner with his partner while waiting on his reporter.

“Lady Killers” by G Eazy and Hoodie Allen begins to play as the #sexappeal graphic flashes on the screen. The crowd pops like crazy and it only gets louder when the two men come onto the stage.

GRAHAM STEVENS: This match will be for ONE FALL and it is for the Tag Team Championships! Introducing first from Chicago, Illinois and Brooklyn, New York respectively...BILLY DANIELSON AND SCOTTY—LATIMER!

Danielson and Latimer slap hands while taunting their opponents and playing up to the Seattle audience.

Danielson joins Latimer in the aisle as the two run down to ring sliding under the bottom rope and each standing on opposing corners with there arms in the air trying to get the Seattle Pro fans excited for their match while holding the Tag Team Championships above their heads!

SEATTLE PRO WRESTLING
TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Billy Danielson & Scotty Latimer (C)
vs
AJ Knight & A.J. Morales

The bell rings and it's Scotty and Knight starting out. Latimer has a different look in his eyes and looks as good physically as he has ever looked. AJ Knight gets in the middle of the ring yelling at Latimer to lock up. The crowd is really behind Sex Appeal as Scotty meets AJ in the middle amd starts talking trash to him. Knight returns it and slaps Scotty who responds with a really stiff fist that knocks him down. He mounts AJ as they exchange hard right hands. The referee gets on his knees to pull Scotty off as Danielson and Morales comes in to help. Billy pulls Scotty back to the corner as does Morales with Knight.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Man did that escalate. This is one emotional Scotty Latimer here tonight.

CHARLES HUDSON: He's wearing his heart on his sleeve tonight due to some personal life changes. He has to put it behind him to retain those tag team titles.

Both sides calm down as danielson and Morales will now start the match. The two men lock up with Billy getting the advantage over Morales. Morales irish whips Danielson and Billy catches him coming off the ropes with a knock down. Billy covers quickly and Morales kicks out before the one count. Both me pop up as Morales takes down Billy with a headlock. Billy counters that into a leg scissors Morales breaks out and both men are in a standstill staring at each other.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Great sequences there by two of the very best.

CHARLES HUDSON: That is how this match should have started. Not with that hot head Scotty Latimer and his emotional crap.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: That is his business.

AJ Morales walks around and stops in Scotty’s corner. He says something to Scotty and Latimer comes unglued!! He storms the ring assaulting Morales! Knight comes in as Billy again tries to pull Scooty away this time off of Morales! Billy and AJ fight aa the referee gets Scotty broken up. Latimer rolls to the outside soon followed by Billy as Morales and Knight just smile. The referee rolls outside and informs Scotty one more outburst like that and they will be disqualified and will lose the titles!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: The referee just told Sex Appeal one more time Latimer loses his cool like he has twice already they will be disqualified amd lose the titles?

CHARLES HUDSON: Referee has the power to do that. And I'm starting to think this could be the AJ’s plan all along. How brilliant is that! I love me some Sex Appeal but these two guys are brilliant!!

Scotty and Billy get back on the apron as Billy asks if he's good. Scotty says yes as Billy slaps his hand to tag him in. Knight and Latimer start with a lock up in the center of the ring, before Knight immediately slaps on a side headlock. Latimer attempts to pull himself free, but Knight holds strong. Latimer pulls Knight backwards into the ropes to attempt to launch him off but AJ holds on shouting "NOPE!" Right in Latimer's ear! Latimer attempts it again to another side of the ring to the same result. He pushes Knight towards the side of the ring Billy's on, which lets Billy make the tag as Knight holds on once again, Danielson sprints into the ring looking for a dropkick but Knight sees him coming and pulls Latimer in the way of the kick sending him out to the floor, Danielson charges Knight who elevates him up and out to the floor onto Latimer. Knight tags Morales who hits the ropes for a tope, Knight gives him a boost as he wipes out both champions on the floor, he rolls Danielson back in as the AJs stand tall.

CHARLES HUDSON: The challengers getting the better of the champions. We are going to see new tag team champions tonight MCKAYLA my dear.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: They definitely seem to be getting in the champions heads here. Sex Appeal looks a little off!

Scotty and Billy get back up as he gets back on the apron on one knee staring Morales down. AJ smirks at him as the two men lock back up. Latimer gets the advantage quickly with a knee to the solar plexus and follow up with a hard right hand rocking Morales back. He delivers an even stiffer looking one that dropped Morales to one knee. But on the next punch Latimer tries to throw, Morales catches him by the wrist and holds it there, shaking his head “no” as he starts to get a wry look on his face. Morales shoves Latimer away, but keeps a hold on that wrist, then jumps at Latimer’s neck and brings him down with a slingblade. Morales goes for the cover but Latimer kicks out quickly.

AJ picks Scotty up and tries a spinning back fist...but Scotty catches him mid turn and delivers a snap backdrop suplex! He runs over and knocks AJ Knight off the apron as Morales rolls out of the ring on the opposite side. Scotty bounces off the ropes and leaps over the top on the other side of the ring and comes crashing down onto Morales with a corkscrew plancha!! Scotty panders to the crowd who had popped hard for the move.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: My the athleticism of Scotty Latimer.

CHARLES HUDSON: I've never questioned it. He is unfreakinbelievable in that department.

Scotty rolls Morales back in as he tags in Billy.

CHARLES HUDSON: And here is the power and technical skill of the GOAT…..the biggest...you would know that Makayla.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Beg your pardon!

Billy starts working over Morales In the corner of Sex Appeal. Billy starts nailing his patented chops as the crowd Wooos with each one. He follows that up with a beautiful german suplex and then tags in Latimer who ascends the top rope. Scotty hits a beautiful splash on Morales and covers….but before AJ could kick out Knight runs in and strikes Scotty in the back of the head! Billy runs in but the referee stops him giving time for Knight to illegally deliver the Knightfall DDT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Oh my this is over!!! All Morales has to do is cover Scotty and we have new tag team champions!

CHARLES HUDSON: But Morales isn't going for it! Why? They had the titles won?

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Sex Appeal is so polarizing. I think Knight and Morales want to punish them more. They want to make a statement that they are superior to Scotty Latimer and Billy Danielson. And right now Scotty is at the mercy of two technical greats and they are going to work. Morales drags Scotty off the mat and smiles at him. Defiantly Scotty slaps AJ Morales. Five or six of those kicks later, and Morales switches stances to taekwondo. Before Latimer can find a counter out of it, Morales brings one leg high and sends it right down onto Latimer’s shoulder with an axe kick. All that force gives Latimer no way to go but down, and as soon as his shoulders hit the mat, Morales gets down and makes the cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

Scotty kicks out but is favoring his shoulder. He tries to get to his feet as Morales makes the tag. AJ Knight comes in as Scotty gets a rush of adrenaline and pushes Knight into the corner trying to fight back with one arm. Latimer is lighting Knight up with chops in the corner. He goes to whip Knight into his corner only for him to sit down preventing the Irish whip, shaking his head at his rival. He twists around on the mat wrenching Latimer's arm before throwing an up kick jarring his arm, before putting him in an armwringer pulling him towards Morales who makes the tag before climbing the ropes to deliver a double stomp on Latimer's trapped arm. Morales laces in a few hard kicks to the arm before shoving Latimer into the corner, pulling his arm around the top turnbuckle before tagging Knight back in. Knight clamps on a hanging armbar from the ropes!! Danielson runs across the ring and dropkicks Knight in the back of the head!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Billy Danielson had enough of that and breaks the hold! What in the hell is Knight and Morales doing trying to break Latimer's arm!!

CHARLES HUDSON: They are trying to win tag team championship gold!

As the referee pushes Billy back to his corner Morales blind tags Knight. Scotty tries to get feeling back in his arm and shoulder as Morales. He waits to hit El DiaBlade. Scotty turns around and superkicks AJ in midair!! The crowd explodes as Billy eggs on Scotty to make the tag. Morales tags Knight and beats Scotty to the tag. He lifts Scotty up to say no again but is met by a standing enziguri!! He knocks Knight down and makes the tag to Billy!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: And like a house of fire the GOAT is here!!

Billy starts knocking AJ Knight down repeatedly and nails him with a few suplexes. He turns around and LIBERATOR!! Morales had come in and nailed Danielson. Morales slides back to the apron as Knight eventually covers Billy for 1...2...NEARFALL!

CHARLES HUDSON: WE GOT NEW TAG CHAMPS. WE GOT NEW TAG CHAMPS!!

SCOTTY LATIMER COMES OFF THE TOP WITH MANGIRANGER!!!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: WHERE IN THE HELL DID LATIMER COME FROM!!

Knight is lying next to Billy as Danielson covers Knight with one arm for 1...2...NEARFALL!

The crowd is on their feet as Scotty stands on the apron and Morales reaches for the tag. Knight gets the tag and grabs Billy but Danielson powers away and tags Latimer. Latimer and Morales start exchanging hard forearms fir a good minute as the crowd is going crazy. Morales gets the upper hand and when he thinks he's in control WWHHAAMM!!! Latimer strikes with the V Trigger. He has AJ setup for Final Wave when Knight comes back in and breaks it up. From out of nowhere KNIGHT GETS NAILED WITH THE CHICAGO BLACKOUT FROM DANIELSON!! Billy follows him to the outside where Knight fell through the ropes. Back inside AJ Morales nails Scotty with F#qkin' Slayerrrr. He waits for Scotty to get back up. Morales goes for Golden Goal but Scotty avoids the kick and catches him midair and counters with a tombstone piledriver!! Latimer picks up AJ and FFIINNAALL WWAAVVEE and covers for 1...2...3!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: SCOTTY NAILED IT!!

CHARLES HUDSON: Billy has AJ Knight down on the outside!!

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner and STILL SEATTLE PRO WRESTLING TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS—#SEXAPPEAL!

Danielson grabs Latimer by the leg and pulls him off Morales and he rolls under the bottom rope escaping the ring after the win. Knight slides in simultaneously very frustrated after losing. Danielson retrieves the Tag Team Championships from the official as the fan favorites celebrate up the aisle.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: AJ Knight is majorly upset after this loss.

Morales sits up after being doubled over and is looking up at his disappointed tag team partner. Morales stands and is trying to talk to Knight but he wants nothing of it. Knight brushes by him exiting the ring but Morales grabs him from behind on the shoulder attempting to stop him but Knight turns around violently. Knight bucks up on Morales shoving him backwards.

CHARLES HUDSON: I’ve seen this happen before in these strange bed fellows matches. It doesn’t always work out like it did for Buchanan and Idol.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: It’s not like they couldn’t work as a cohesive unit. It just didn’t pan out in there favorite tonight.

Morales angrily runs back at Knight and clothesline’s him over the top rope then leaning over and pointing at him. Knight in disbelief looking to climb back in the ring but retreats after Morales closes in.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Ladies and Gentlemen Sex Appeal retains in a competitive match against what was the ‘Flying AJ’s’. Knight and Morales have a lot of making up to do before they share the same corner again. We’re going to take a break and when we come back it’s more action in the next Endurance Championship Contenders Series Match...

BACKSTAGE...
Lauren Daniels is standing with Aria Price whom is visiting friends in the back while in Scottsdale.

LAUREN DANIELS: AP—Do you know anything about what Derrick said earlier tonight?

ARIA PRICE: I heard what he said but I don’t know anything about it.

LAUREN DANIELS: Blake was your guest that night right? He was with you, right?

ARIA PRICE: My guest. He’s a member of the roster. Just as I am...doing just as I have am doing here tonight. I may not be on the card but I am visiting old friends and wanted to watch one of my former students in her Seattle Pro debut earlier. That’s all I know.

LAUREN DANIELS: Okay. I’ve filed a police report with Seattle Police Department in hopes of getting Key Arena Security to pull the footage on there cameras.

ARIA PRICE: I don’t know what good that would do—everybody knows there are no cameras in the dressing rooms.

LAUREN DANIELS: Maybe so but an investigation is underway. I am very sorry to inconvenience you tonight. I hope you’ve enjoyed your visit.

ARIA PRICE: I am going to all with La’Bell right now. If I can find him. If I don’t—you tell him that he needs to be one hundred percent sure of the culprit before he starts publically bashing an innocent man.

Price walks away from Daniels as the camera pulls back showing Price walking down a long hallway and out of sight.

[Robert Daniels]

”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: This match is for ONE FALL...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.

“Break Stuff” by Limp Bizkit begins to play throughout the arena as the curtain is separated with two hands and pulled back revealing JT Saint walking out onto the stage.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now making his way to the ring weighing in at one hundred and seventy five pounds and standing at five feet and ten inches tall. He is from Chicago, Illinois and making his Seattle Pro Wrestling debut...JT—SAINT!

Saint makes his way down the aisle with a smug look on his face ignoring the kids leaning over the rails wanting a high five. Saint walks up the aisle and skips a step on the stairs with each foot before quickly stepping between the ropes. He raises both arms in the center of the ring as his opponents music begins to suddenly play.

ENDURANCE CHAMPIONSHIP
CONTENDERS MATCH
Trixie vs JT Saint

The two competitors circle the ring. Both with a look of determination on their face, JT looks over at his opponent, and charges, and as if on pure instinct Trixie pulls the top rope down, sending Saint over and onto the apron. Trixie takes off across the ring, rebounding off the opposite ropes, and eats a shoulder to the abdomen. JT pulls Trixie out onto the apron with him, He goes for the suplex, but Trixie counters. Two quick stiff shots to the abdomen weaken her slightly just enough for JT to lift her high above the ring and bring her CRASHING DOWN ONTO THE APRON WITH A CROSS LEG BRAINBUSTER!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: I am sincerely pleased with the performance as of late by Trixie.

CHARLES HUDSON: You can’t discount the memorable debut of JT Saint.
 
JT gives a devilish grin over to the crowd, soaking in the boos that rain down on him. Trixie’s body is hanging on the apron, as she does JT shoves her back into the ring. Climbing onto the apron, then up to the top rope. He rises to his feet towering high above the ring, but as he does Trixie jumps to her feet, flips her hair out of her face, and delivers a huge superkick to the head. JT is sent tumbling to the ground as the impact echoes through the arena.  Trixie steps through the ropes to the outside, as JT slowly rise back to his feet. Once he regains his footing, she pushes off of the bottom rope and delivers a sinister knee to the jaw bone. JT falls to the floor, a crumpled-up heap of flesh.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: All I can remember about it is how he schemed his way to victory.
 
Trixie lifts the man to his feet, throwing him head first into the ring, as she slides in after him. She watches him as he uses the ropes to climb back to his feet. Her eyes not flinching but fixed on the small of his back. She walks over and begins to pull him to his feet by his gelled-up hair, but as she does he reaches up a shoves his thumb to her eye. She staggers back, clutching at her eye trying to blink the sight back into it. JT stands to his feet and squares her up…SUPERKICK! No! Trixie was able to catch his foot, she spins and delivers a stiff superkick to the knees. With a hop, skip and a jump she flies past him rebounding off of the rope and delivers a huge busaiku knee to the back of his neck. JT falls to the mat…hard, Trixie rolls him to his back and hooks the leg for 1...2...KICKOUT!

CHARLES HUDSON: Saint narrowly kicks out to keep himself alive in this match!
 
Trixie doesn’t waste a second, quickly pulling the man up to his feet. JT struggles to stay standing, falling back to a knee. Slightly frustrated Trixie grabs him by the belt and throws JT shoulder first into the turnbuckle, the man collapses to his mat. She stands him up, lifting him onto the top rope, climbing atop with him. She wraps her arms around his waist and goes for a Super German Suplex, but JT holds on, swinging his elbow back and connecting with her temple. She falls to the canvas below as he rises to his feet. He takes to the air with an imploded 450 splash which connects! JT frantically crawls into the cover hooking both legs for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: That 450 was stunning and I’m just as shocked that she kicked out.
 
JT rises to his feet, a look of hatred at the referee. He watches on as Trixie struggles back to her feet, she staggers backward and straight into a dragon suplex…NO! Trixie manages to break free, holding on as she drops down into the splits…SEXY NECKBREAKER CONNECTS. JT falls to the mat as Trixie take the time to look out at the crowd, a big smile on her face. She turns her attention back to her JT, who has regained his footing, but he eats a superkick to the back. He falls to the canvas once more. Trixie looks over at a young man in the front row and mouths “That was for you.” She bends over and grabs JT by the head pulling him to his feet. She takes a step back SPICY SUPERKICK TO THE SOL…NO! JT moves out of the way, grabbing ahold of her wrist. He throws her body out, then pulls her right into a huge clothesline, flipping her inside out! Both competitors are down as the crowd begins to rise to their feet.
 
ONE...
TWO...
 
Neither person moves, both still motionless in the middle of the ring.
 
THREE…
FOUR…
 
JT begins to stir, not more than a moment later Trixie. The crawl to opposite corners, using the turnbuckle like ladders. Both competitors rise to their feet once more, slowly, calculated. Trixie moves in close and takes a boot to the gut… BEAUTIFUL DISASTER FROM JT SAINT?!? NO! Trixie counters shoving JT into the ropes. He is able to bounce off of the middle ropes and land on Trixie’s shoulders in the electric chair. JT rotates his hips and delivers a beautiful Dragonrana, hooking the legs and driving all his weight on them for 1...2...NEARFALL!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: He had all the leverage needed to put this match away but Trixie is still fighting hard.
 
JT looks down at Trixie, a defiant look in here eye. Frustrated he lifts her to his feet, scanning over the crowd and delivers a boot to her abdomen doubling her over. He hooks here head…SEXY NECKBREAKER FROM JT SAINT! JT is trying to finish this with Trixie’s own maneuver for 1...2...KICKOUT!

CHARLES HUDSON: It’s perhaps one of the biggest compliments when someone else uses your finisher but when they use it against you...it’s another story.
 
Frustrated JT grabs Trixie, dragging her up to her feet, and throws her into the corner. He follows right behind her, leaping and placing his feet into her hips, pulling down on her head and sending her back first into the opposite corner with a monkey roll. JT climbs to his feet and charges, double knees in the corner. She falls to the canvas as JT climbs to the top rope. He rises to his feet…1817! NO! TRIXIE CATCHES HIM IN MID AIR WITH THE BEAUITIFUL DISASTER! She crawls into the cover and hooks both legs for 1...2...NEARFALL!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Saint with the very close kickout!
 
Trixie drags JT to his feet, and attempts a suplex, but JT is able to use what strength he has left to fight. A shot to the kidney allows him to break free. SUPERKICK! NO! Trixie ducks underneath his boot and quickly delivers a shot to his ankle, dropping him to his hands and knees. Immediately JT stands back to his feet, Trixie bounces off the ropes…BACK ELBOW! NO! She misses as JT holds on and tries to deliver a back suplex but Trixie rolls through, followed in quick succession with a “Where it Lands” to the right hip, dropping him to one knee. With one smooth motion she breaths on her hand and delivers the HARDEST SLAP EVER! The sound of flesh on flesh echoes through the arena as the crowd winces, and Trixie holds her hand. JT Saint’s chest red and nearly blistered from the slap as he lays on the ground writhing in pain.

CHARLES HUDSON: Trixie looks out at the crowd a grin on her face as JT Saint slowly begins to rise to his feet.
 
Trixie loads up her punch but misses the fastball punch to JT as he grabs her hand in his. He slowly stands up and does a standing arm drag to Trixie before pulling her up and tries to hit a short-arm clothesline. Trixie manages to avoid it and tries to go for a german suplex. JT back elbows to get out and runs for a springboard moonsault only to be superkicked by Trixie as he flips over on the chin. She side steps to hit the kick and he lands flat out with a substantial pop from the crowd and makes the cover for 1...2...3!

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner by pin fall...TRIXIE!

Trixie pulls herself up off the mat with some assistance of the second rope. Her hand is raised by the official as she points to the sky and motions as if a belt is already around her waist.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: He walked right into that one Charles.

CHARLES HUDSON: Actually Lou, he ran into it. Regardless congratulations to Trixie on her first win in the Endurance Championship Contenders Series!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: We all know that Jacob Hammerstein is on his way to the arena to what many believe is to announce when he will challenge for the Heavyweight Championship after earning himself a shot by winning the Pinnacle Battle Royal nearly two months ago. But up next in the Main Event you’ll see Endurance Champion Stephen J Eversol take on Former Tag Team Champion Eli Buchanan with a shot at the Heavyweight Championship on the line!

BACKSTAGE...
Samantha Kinsley is standing by Eli Buchanan and his wife/manager, Charlotte Buchanan enter the building. He groans loudly as they make their way down the hallway, making a point to turn to his wife as they approach.

ELI BUCHANAN: From now on I'm getting Matthews to bring us to the arena in the police box so we can get transported straight to our locker room.

Samantha steps forward with the microphone.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Excuse me, Eli, I was hoping to get a few comments from you about your match tonight with Stephen J Eversol.

ELI BUCHANAN: I'm just fine and dandy, Samantha. How about you?

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: I'm doing good, thanks for...

Buchanan holds up his hand.

ELI BUCHANAN: I honestly don't care right now and if that hurts your damn feelings I'll send you a nice cheese basket but one with of those real expensive ones with the cheese logs and the double cream brie, I don't like you that much. Not to answer your question, because you're obviously not getting paid to stand around and look pretty.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Was that an insult?

ELI BUCHANAN: Take it any way you like it, after the last two weeks I've had, I really don't give a damn what you, or that monkey holding the damn camera following you around like a lost dog in heat, or anyone else thinks.

Charlotte clears her throat. He continues talking without missing a beat and points at her.

ELI BUCHANAN: Except her. I would try to say something really witty right now, but I'll probably get smacked for it later on, which the more I think about it sounds really fun.

Charlotte smirks and winks at her husband.

CHARLOTTE BUCHANAN: Maybe, if you're a good boy.

The two share an intimate kiss and Eli smiles wide before returning his attention to Samantha.

ELI BUCHANAN: Let's move this interview along, Samantha, before things get to hot in here and SPW starts losing its sponsors. To answer your question,. You did have a question, right?

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: No, I was asking for comments about your match with Stephen J Eversol.

ELI BUCHANAN: Comments? Fine, how about this for a comment, I'm going to beat Eversol here tonight, and then go on to become the next Seattle Pro Heavyweight Champion. Is that enough of a comment for you? No? Ok, how about this. A couple of weeks back Charles Hudson sat out there at the announce table and proclaimed me the best tag team wrestler in the world today. Now, I'm honored that we would say that, and maybe there's even a bit of truth to it, but when I watched that match back and heard him say that, it set me off. You see, it wasn't that long ago that I was being pigeonholed as a hardcore wrestler and anytime I would get booked to compete somewhere, it was in match where my opponent was trying trip my face off with some barbwire bat or o blow me up with some C4. Don't get me wrong, I was really good at it, and I have the championship belts and trophies at home to prove it, but I wasn't about to sit back and allow any promoter to 'typecast' me into the role they want me to stay. I feel exactly the same way about being a tag team wrestler, I'm damn good at as well, with the belts and trophies to prove it, but I refuse to allow anyone to dictate to me what kind of wrestler I'm going to be except me.

Charlotte clears her throat again.

ELI BUCHANAN: And her, probably mostly her."

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: So you don't want your rematch at the SPW Tag Team Titles then?

ELI BUCHANAN: Of course I do. Hokey smokes, Samantha, please try to keep up.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Hokey smokes?

ELI BUCHANAN: My four year old discovered the "Rocky and Bullwinkle" cartoons, ok? You try having to binge watch that every day for three weeks and not walk away without picking up some stupid catchphrases or doing a really bad Bullwinkle imitation. Now "shut your mouth", you're getting me off topic here. You really suck at this job, don't you?

“Damn right I want to reclaim the Seattle Pro Tag Team Titles with Christine Idol; she is by far the best tag team partner I've ever had, and I consider it a matter of professional pride to get those titles back, but I'm planning to add to my hardware while I'm waiting for Laura Daniels to sign our rematch. Eversol is a great competitor, an absolute great competitor, but I'm a world class competitor and tonight he's going to find that out the hard way. Tonight I beat him and I go on to challenge Bryan Blaze for the SPW Worlds Title, and if by some miracle Blaze manages to successfully defend the title against me, then by my match an non-title victory over the Endurance Champion certainly should put me at the top of the list challenge for that title as well. When I came here it was with one simple plan, to prove that with or without a mask, I am one of the very best in the industry today, and if that means I need to win every championship in Seattle Pro to do so, all the better.”

He picks up his bag and walks off. Charlotte starts to follow, but stops to offer Samantha one last comment.

CHARLOTTE BUCHANAN: Next time, have some intelligent questions to ask or don't bother wasting our time.

She marches off to follow her husband as the scene fades out.

[Robert Daniels]

DURING THE BREAK...
Trixie while holding her waistcoat on her arm folded over and the bruises that Saint left her from their match still forming on her exposed arms.

TRIXIE: Oh hey there.

Trixie smiles but takes a moment to quickly compose herself.

TRIXIE: I just went one on one with JT Saint and I won, I scored that totally, just totally amazing first win.

She's smiling wide, brushing her hair out of her face excited and fist pumps over the victory.

TRIXIE: Yes, I got the victory tonight, but the journey has just begun. With Ryan Henderson and Dayna Grace now to look out for on my climb, my rise to a shot at the Seattle Pro Endurance Championship. I can and I will endure this Contender Series and I'll find myself with that title shot when it’s all said and done.

Trixie smiles as she looks down at her flattened stomach, picturing the Endurance Title wrapped around her waist. Licking her lips, as it had been a while since she held any gold.

TRIXIE: Seattle Pro gave me that opportunity day one when they put me against their tag team champion and I showed I won. They put me in the ring with AJ and Hammerstein and I say I held my own, regardless of the result. Now I've proven I can get off to a good start and if you saw what I did in SAP, winner of the Best of 3 series, I have proven outside of this promotion I can finish strong.

She looks off as someone walks by before back to the camera.

TRIXIE: Now I'm totally going to do it here too.

She nods forward, raising both her eyebrows for emphasis on her point and walks off as the scene fades out.

[Robert Daniels]

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Okay, yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, I've just gotten word from Samantha Kinsley that a car has just arrived. We're going to go to a splitscreen now to cover the match and Hammerstein’s arrival.

A Ford Flex limousine pulls into the arena. The driver runs to the door, opens it, and out steps Hammerstein to a mixture of boos and cheers. He hands the driver a wad of money and takes his bag. Hammerstein begins walking towards the entrance.

"New Orleans is Sinking" starts playing over the sound system and out walks Eli Buchanan with his lovely wife, Charlotte. The pair walk down the aisle hand-in-hand joking with Eli assisting his wife up the stairs and holds the ropes for her while she enters the ring.

GRAHAM STEVENS: This match is set for ONE FALL and it is tonight’s MAIN EVENT! Introducing first from Guelph, Ontario...ELI BUCHANAN!

Buchanan kisses his wife and she walks around the ring to the far corner. Buchanan removes his hoodie and places it on the apron while looking focused and is anxiously waiting for his opponent.

"Hate Me Now" by Nas kicks in and blares out through the system inside of the arena as royal blue lights fill the venue. The fans in attendance recognize the song and begin to engulf the arena in boos for Stephen Eversol as he appears on the stage with his hands raised and the Endurance Championship fastened tightly around his waist.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now introducing the Seattle Pro Endurance Champion. Standing at six feet and five inches tall. Weighing in at two hundred and fifty pounds from Brentwood, California...STEPHEN...J—EVERSOL!

Eversol saunters down the aisle with a cocky smirk, ignoring the fans that shout insults his way as he struts arrogantly up the steps and between the ropes before entering the ring. Stephen climbs the turnbuckles and raises his hands to a chorus of jeers before the music begins to fade while Stephen shadow boxes.

MAIN EVENT
HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
NUMBER ONE CONTENDER MATCH
Eli Buchanan vs Stephen J. Eversol

The bell sounds as Eli Buchanan and Stephen J Eversol circle the ring before locking up. Eversol transitions the collar and elbow tie-up into a side headlock. Eli breaks free and whips him into the ropes, shoulder blocking him as he bounces back. Buchanan grabs Eversol's leg and rolls him, head over heels to a kneeling position and slams his knee into Eversol's face.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Buchanan has Eversol in the corner and hits a series of knife-edge chops before driving his right knee into Eversol’s gut.

CHARLES HUDSON: He snapmares Eversol out of corner and delivers a stiff kick between the shoulder blades.

Eversol shakes himself free of the cobwebs after the kick. He gets to his feet, but Buchanan goes on the offensive and shoots Eversol into the ropes with an Irish whip. Eversol ducks a clothesline and hits the ropes again before taking Buchanan down to the mat with a flying lariat!

Eversol winces in pain after being kicked in the back. He's forcefully pulled up to his feet by Buchanan before being hit with a right hand. Eversol is staggering as Buchanan hits him with another. He's about to fall to the mat before something in him wakes up and he hits Buchanan with a hard right of his own. Both men are exchanging blows in the middle of the ring! Eversol gets the upper hand and sends Buchanan into the corner. Buchanan clutches his back before Eversol takes him into a side headlock then takes him down the mat with a running bulldog and follows with a cover for 1...2...NEARFALL!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Eversol kicks out of the pin attempt in the nick of time.

Eversol lifts Buchanan and goes for a suplex. Buchanan floats over and lands behind the Burning Heart. He shoves Eversol chest first into the ropes and grabbing him around the waste, rolls backwards and transitions into a German suplex with a bridge. Some call it the Chaos Theory, he calls it Pandemonium Plex and he follows with a cover for 1...2...NEARFALL!

CHARLES HUDSON: Buchanan is reaching deep into his bag of tricks here tonight.

He gets to his feet and locks up with Buchanan in the center of the ring with a collar and elbow tie up. The two men fight for control but Eversol sends Buchanan staggering backwards with a hard shove. Buchanan tries to get back to his feet as quickly as possibly but it's too late. Eversol hits the ropes and nails Buchanan with a viscous punt kick to the head and covers for 1...2...KICKOUT!

CHARLES HUDSON: Buchanan pins Eversol and nearly gets the three before Eversol resorts to cheap tactics and puts his foot on the bottom rope.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Buchanan is primarily a Tag team wrestler here in Seattle Pro but it isn’t a surprise how well he’s been holding his own.

The ref notices and stops the three count. Eversol grins as he returns to his feet. Buchanan glares at him and charges at him. But Eversol has it well scouted out and side steps a shoulder tackle attempt. Buchanan misses and hits the corner, shoulder first. Eversol takes advantage and hits a t-bone suplex! Eversol cackles as he drops down and makes the pin over the surprised Buchanan for 1...2...NEARFALL!

CHARLES HUDSON: I nearly thought the Endurance Champion would be fighting for the Heavyweight Championship at the next show.

Eversol attempts to Irish whip Buchanan in the corner. Buchanan reverses and grabs Eversol around the waste and tosses him head over heels into the bottom turnbuckle with a belly-to-belly throw.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: What happens to the winner of this match if Jacob Hammerstein shows up and says he wants the Champion right here tonight?

Buchanan staggers backwards and rolls out on to the ring apron. Eversol presses the advantage and reaching over the top rope, picks Buchanan up by the hair and pulls him to his feet. Buchanan rakes his eyes. Eversol takes several steps back, clutching at his face. Seeing an opportunity, Buchanan springboard on to the top rope and hits a flying clothesline.

CHARLES HUDSON: Eversol crashes to the mat after a flying clothesline from Buchanan then uses the ropes to climb back up to his feet.

Buchanan grabs Everso’ls head and attempts to bash it into the corner before Eversol reverses and smashes Buchanan instead. He stops just before the ref’s 5 count and instead fires a few hard knees into the ribs of Buchanan. Buchanan doubles over in pain before Eversol hits the ropes again and takes down Buchanan with a double arm DDT! Eversol is down on the mat after that high impact move. He stays down as Buchanan makes the cover for 1...2...NEARFALL!

CHARLES HUDSON: He was able to kick out at 2.99!

His face is that of shock and relief but Buchanan is on him again. Firing a barrage of fists into the forehead of the champion. Eversol sits against the ropes and struggles to get up. He pulls himself up as Buchanan charges forward. He immediately drops down and pulls down the top rope, sending Buchanan over it. Buchanan, however, is able to land on the apron and use his momentum to springboard off of the top rope and land in the middle of the ring. He charges at Eversol again who is able to counter with a drop toe hold that sends Buchanan smashing his face onto the mat! But Buchanan pops back up and staggers around before being caught by Eversol who lifts him up into a Blue Thunder Bomb! Royal Blue but Buchanan slides down the back of Eversol. He shoved him hard chest first into the ropes as second nature.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Nice recovery by the former tag team wrestler!

Buchanan stomps his foot waiting for Eversol to turn around and as he does Buchanan grabs him by the shoulder then scoops him up and drops the “Chaos Driver” Northern Lights Bomb and lays down on both legs pushing them against the chest of Eversol for the cover of 1...2...3!

GRAHAM STEVENS: Your winner and new number one contender for the Seattle Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Championship...ELI—BUCHANAN!

Eli rolls off Eversol, exhausted but victorious. The referee raises Eli’s hand as he falls against the ropes.

'Hair of the Dog’ by Nazareth plays as Hammerstein steps out onto the stage, his luggage in one hand and a microphone in the other. The crowd gives The American Monster a mixed reaction, mainly boos, as he smugly smiles and applauds Buchanan. Hammerstein walks to the commentary position, where Blaze is sitting.

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN: What’s up, Scottsdale? Congratulations, Eli. You get the next shot at Bryan there, so you may wanna stick around for what I got to say.

Bryan Blaze, this is the time that you've dreaded since I won the Pinnacle Battle Royal, cause I'm callin my shot. Saturday, May Fifth, at The Staples Center in Los Angeles, my adopted hometown, Mainstream Ten, I'm gonna kick your ass and take the Seattle Pro Championship in front of my people. So, enjoy keeping that belt for a little longer. Shine it up real nice. That's the least you can do after tarnishing it like you have.

And, Eli, if by some fluke, you beat Blaze, don't get too used to holding the title, because that title is mine. It's destined to be mine. From the moment I stepped foot in this company, that title has been my mission. And, damn it, at Mainstream Ten, it's gonna be Mission Accomplished.

The crowd, for the most part, boos Hammerstein, although there are some cheers for him as well. Blaze gets up from the announce table and grabs a microphone.

BRYAN BLAZE: More empty promises, more hollow threats, Hammer. But, since you're here, why not come say it to me face to face. It's a short walk. I'm sure that's something Scottsdale would like to see.

Hammerstein drops his bag and begins walking towards the ring. The crowd’s excitement level is palpable as Hammerstein passes Buchanan, who is standing in the ring, eyeing his nemesis.

JACOB HAMMERSTEIN: I'll deal with you later, Red. I don't care what Scottsdale wants, Blaze. All that matters is what I want, and that's the belt.

Hammerstein steps up to Blaze, and the pair go nose to nose, which sends McKayla Lewis and Charles Hudson away from the broadcast position. The Champion raises the belt in the air as the crowd chants “FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!” Hammerstein smirks at Blaze, then cheap shots him with a head but between the eyes. The Seattle Pro Heavyweight Champion staggers backwards as Hammerstein punches him. The American Monster rolls Blaze into the ring and begins stomping on Bryan. Buchanan steps out of the ring, content to let Hammerstein and Blaze beat each other senseless. Hammerstein picks The Champ up for a Hammersteiner, but Blaze drives a knee, then a second knee into the top of Hammer’s head. Hammerstein releases Blaze, who nails him with a Pele Kick that sends him stumbling into the ropes. Blaze goes for The Clothesline From Nova Scotia, but Hammerstein drops to the mat and rolls out of the ring, holding the side of his head.

The embarrassed challenger storms around ringside, grabbing chairs and tossing them into the ring. He then backs up the aisle, hurling curses and threats of bodily injury at The Seattle Pro Heavyweight Champion, who stands on the middle rope holding up the Title.
