Triple Threat Matchup

Maybe Okada and Nakamura would face better luck as a tag team?. Strowman celebrates his win as he heads into the final match against Drew McIntyre!.

They aren’t the biggest or most well known team but they won’t give up. You have to wonder if when ReDragon lose the titles they will be promoted to the main roster.

Last Man Standing Matchup
Winner gets a title shot at Wrass Bash
Walter Vs Keith Lee
One of the biggest matches of the night with a lot on the line because the winner will face whoever the champion is at Wrass Bash. Cobb is currently the champion and has been on a dominant run but Dream has been climbing fast up the ranks. The Cobb/Walter fued could continue if they both win but this should be interesting. Walter gets boos while Keith gets a big ovation and of course this is a last man standing match. Both men come to the ring but Walter attacks Keith in the entrance way as this match begins!. Walter powerslams Lee on the steel rampway two times looking for the count but only getting a 4. Walter whips Lee into the steel steps before putting him inside like a sandwich.

It could have gone on longer but it kind of works this way and I don’t think a match has ever gone like this.
Pride Title Matchup
Jeff Cobb (c) Vs Velveteen Dream
It is time for our Pride title match which should be the main event since it’s a PPV but the other match is huge so it has to be the main event. Both men come out to the ring getting a big ovation but Dream gets one of the biggest cheers of the night!. Cobb has been a dominant champion and held the title for a few months while remaining undefeated. Dream has only been in EAM for a couple of months but has become one of the most popular wrestlers here. Dream is also undefeated apart from the big match with Cobb and others at the last PPV. Some people believe that Dream was screwed and deserved to win but it was a rookie mistake. Melissa does the introductions and here we go!. It would have been nice if this match took place at a bigger PPV like Wrass Bash but this is still a big Pride PPV and there’s no other person that could have fought Cobb.

The Donnybrook Crucible Final
3-Stage Trial Matchup
1) Submission Matchup
2) 5-Count Pinfall Matchup
3) I Quit Matchup
Drew McIntyre Vs Braun Strowman
It is now time for our main event of the evening in which the winner of this match will get a title shot at Grandslam 14. It should be interesting to see what they do until then whoever wins because it’s still a long way to that PPV. Both men have got to be tired since they’ve fought in two but now three matches tonight. People are still shocked and reeling from what we just saw with Dream showing that anything can happen in EAM at any time. It should be noted that the standouts of this show and the people that deserve contracts are Drew, Braun, Mustafa Ali, Zack Gibson, Okada and Nakamura but as a team, Chad Gable, Mustache Mountain, Pete Dunne, Buddy Murphy and Flip Gordon. This match is basically a three stages of hell match in which three matches could happen including an I Quit, submission and 5 count fall trials. Both men come to the ring with Braun being the heavy fan favorite and Drew getting booed. You could argue that both of these men or just Braun should be on Jamboree but it’s tough in EAM with so much talent.
What’s also crazy is that both of these men weren’t originally supposed to be in this tournament at all as they replaced two injured wrestlers who couldn’t compete. Braun has to be the favorite to win this one but don’t count out this new Drew. Could you imagine if Braun wins this and for the rest of the year all of EAM roster will know that they will have to face him at Grandslam if they ever win the world title. Melissa makes the introductions and here we go!. Both men have a stand off and stare down with each other talking trash to each other. Eye to eye and toe to toe. Braun has never actually ever won a title apart from a tag title with a child at Wrestlemania. He was originally part of Wyatt Family at the beginning and a lot of people believe he was screwed by the other company. Drew has actually had a great career in a lot of promotions like ICW/EVOLVE/PWG/NXT/TNA/with a lot of success including NXT Champion, IC Champ, TNA World champ, EVOLVE champ and a lot more so it shows you how much experience he has over Braun who started wrestling in 2014 and Drew in 2001. Drew is eye to eye with Braun and remember that Drew is almost as tall as Braun because people forget how big he is.
Back and forth shots from both men including elbows, forearms and chops. Braun takes Drew down first. Braun whips Drew into the ropes hitting the high back body drop. Braun looks for a running splash but Drew moves out the way. Leg drop to the back of Braun’s head. Drew is trying to beat down Braun by going now to the top rope looking for an axe handle but gets caught with a sitdown powerbomb. Braun nails a huge dropkick to Drew before whipping him into the ropes nailing the worlds largest crossbody as Braun goes for the pin forgetting this is a submission match. Instinct, but fans laugh at this and Braun sees his mistake. Neither of these men are known for submissions and it’s strange having this as the first gimmick when it would normally be pinfall, submission then a gimmick but it’s different. Braun military presses Drew high in the air dropping him down into a firemans slam. Braun just walks over Drew like he’s nothing. Braun has dominated this match and is just playing with Drew like he’s a toy. Looks like a easy final match for Braun if this continues. Braun whips Drew into the corner followed by a big splash to the corner. Braun chops Drew across the chest then tells the fans to sssh and does it again and you can hear the sounds ring out around the arena.
Fans cheer for Braun to do it again. Braun chops Drew’s chest again as fans cheer. Drew is getting his ass whooped and fans are loving every minute of it and laughing at this. Braun hard snap whips Drew into the opposite corner so far he just falls to the mat. Drew got over confident, full of himself and picked a fight with the wrong guy so now he’s paying for it!. Just end the match already Braun!. He’s not because he’s having too much fun and remember this is no DQ because it’s a submission match but the next fall isn’t a no DQ so Braun can do whatever he wants here. Braun then military presses Drew up again. Fans start cheering at which side of the ring they want him to throw Drew at. Braun turns around and is teasing each side...wait...Braun goes to one side of the ring, starts running with Drew...AAAAAH HE JUST THREW DREW OVER THE TOP ROPE INTO THE CROWD?!. Are you kidding me?!. Shades of Bigelow/Dudley in ECW all those years ago!. Holy shit chant from the crowd as Drew is out in the front row!. Braun celebrates while fans cheer as Drew is draped over the barricade.
Braun gets out of the ring on the other side as Drew falls over the barricade back to the ringside area...uh oh...here he comes!...Braun runs down around the ring...SHOULDER BLOCK TO DREW TURNS HIM INSIDE OUT!. Jesus Christ this is crazy. Fans chant one more time as Drew is upside down near the entrance way. Braun goes to the other side of the ring once again as he waits for Drew to get up who’s groggy on his feet at the entrance way side of the ring. Drew is looking around for Braun but can’t see him!. Fans are laughing at Drew as he grabs a fan asking him where is he!. Drew turns around as Braun starts running around the ring the other side...here we go again!...BRAUN CHARGES AT DREW WITH A SHOULER BLOCK WHO TURNS AROUND TO SEE HIM...CLAYMORE KICK FROM DREW!!!. OMG DREW REVERSED WITH A CLAYMORE KICK TO THE FACE!. Fans are shocked at this but Drew has turned this match around with one move!. Fans are booing but what a smart move from Drew. Braun is out on the outside of the ring while Drew is finally back up. Drew starts kicking Braun over and over while shouting who’s laughing now and you don’t respect me!. Drew picks Braun up, underhooks his arms and nails the double arm DDT to the outside!. Drew is furious with Braun and the fans for laughing at him and disrespecting him.
He continues to trash talk them saying he’s no joke, he’s not a laughing stock this is a new time in EAM!. Braun is sitting up against the steel steps...KNEE TO BRAUN’S HEAD SENDING HIM INTO THE STEPS. Drew’s not done as he now taunts and mocks Braun by running around the ring...FACEWASH TO BRAUN SENDING HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE STEPS!. That was brutal by Drew. He slaps Braun saying he’s the chosen one tonight. Braun is busted wide open and the fans have begun to go silent. Drew picks up Braun throwing him into the ring. Drew shouts I haven’t even started yet!. Drew goes over to the announce table getting on the mic trash talking the people at home about how good he is and it’s his time then telling the announcers to hype him up. Drew grabs two steel chairs bringing then into the ring. This is still the first match remember it only ends by submission!. Drew smashes Braun over the back with the chair not once, not twice but three times. Drew is going crazy beating the shit out of Braun with the chair!. All over his legs, arms and body. You can actually see the cuts, bruises and welts on him. This is like Rock/Austin at Mania 17.
Drew continues to mock Braun by slapping him in the face and pushing him down. Drew lays Braun on his back before placing a chair over his head?. Drew goes to the second rope looking at the fans while laughing...what is he doing...NOOO...DREW JUST JUMPED OFF THE SECOND ROPE ONTO THE CHAIR ACROSS BRAUN’S NECK!. Omg that was sick!. Braun is rolling around coughing up blood!. There’s purple blood coming out of his mouth. Someone stop the damn match. Braun still has the chair draped over his head while laying on his stomach. Drew gets a chair setting it up over the back of Braun and sits down!. Drew is crushing Braun with the chair while sitting on his back like a horse!. Drew then slowly locks in the camel clutch while pulling on the chair and head of Braun!. He’s completely out of it, his eyes are shut as the referee checks the arms of Braun...1...2...3 arms...it’s over!. Braun has passed out giving Drew McIntyre the first win in this submission match.
Braun didn’t tap out though so he can be happy about that. Melissa announces Drew as the winner then tells everybody it’s time for the 5 Count Match and here we go!. How the hell can Braun continue and come back to win two falls. Drew sits on a chair with his legs crossed as Braun is passed out. Drew starts slapping Braun trying to get him to wake up we’ve got another match!. Drew starts wiping Braun’s blood on his face and body before writing D I E on his own chest using Braun’s own blood!. His fists are covered in blood. This is just shocking and sad it’s like the Kurt Angle match he had. No respect and fans are silent. Drew throws both chairs out of the ring because this trial is normal rules. Now Braun has to beat Drew with rules while being in the state that he’s in. Drew goes in a corner squatting down just watching and waiting. Braun finally begins to stir with fans cheering him on to get up. Come on Braun don’t let it end like this!. Braun eventually stands up somehow. How the hell is he doing this.
Braun is groggy on his feet as he turns around...DREW STARTS RUNNING...BAAAM CLAYMORE KICK TO BRAUN STROWMAN ONCE AGAIN!. DREW COVERS...1...2...3...4...5!!!. IT’S ALL OVER!. Thank god this match is over!. A lot of people thought Braun would come back after he stood up and reverse but that didn’t happen. What did we just witness?. Drew McIntyre will face whoever the champion is at Grandslam 14!. People are silent shocked at what we just saw. Everything looked great and fun at the beginning and almost like karma it all changed. Drew beats Braun with two straight trials which means the I Quit match won’t even happen!. Has that ever happened before in EAM?...two straight falls and a third not happening!?. Drew stands over the body of Braun before getting a microphone. Drew starts talking smack on everybody from EAM and the fans before telling them you want an I Quit match did you?. Drew then starts beating Braun in the head with the mic and you can hear every shot. Drew tells Braun to say it, say it, say I Quit but this match is over.
Drew throws the mic down, helps up Braun and smashes him over the head with a chair. Braun is out on his feet with a chair around his neck. Drew grabs the other chair and smacks that on Braun’s head which has the other chair on it!. Drew throws the chair down, charges at Braun one final time...CLAYMORE KICK TO BRAUN ONCE AGAIN WITH THE CHAIR AROUND HIS NECK!. Braun is done!. He may be severely injured after that and his EAM career may have come to an end before it even started. Someone stop this already but Drew’s trying to prove a point and send a message. Drew stands over Braun’s lifeless body grabbing the mic once again. You all laughed at me, mocked me but look at what just happened!. I’ve destroyed Braun Strowman!. This is a new beginning in EAM. I’m sick and tired of the pathetic wannabe wrestlers in the back thinking they are shit in this company. They’re all sheep that work for a dictator named Emil. They care more about playing mobile games and winning Fortnite games than actually doing something in this company!. They don’t give a damn about winning or losing. Nobody grabs the brass ring because it doesn’t exist!. The modern day millennial beta male is pathetic and I’m sick of it!.
It’s time for a change in this company. I didn’t have the best career early on but I’ve turned it all around over the past few years, found myself and no longer will I ‘ask’ for things I’ll take them. You put me in a tournament on a second rate show?. I am the bloody main event!. I’m the star!. From now on I will take what’s mine. There’s not a damn thing EAM, the frauds in the locker room, the fans or Emil and Mickie can do about it!. I don’t care who’s champion if it’s Randy Orton, Kenny Omega, Ronda Rousey, Adam Cole or goddamn Emil Sitoci!. It dosent matter to me because I guarantee that I will walk out of Grandslam 14 as not only the first Scottish but also as EAM World Champion and there’s not a bloody thing you can do it about it. That’s not a spoiler alert, that’s not part of the show, that’s not even part of the script...that is written in the history books!. I am The Chosen One, the Scottish Phychopath and the Celtic Colossus...Drew FUCKING McIntyre!. Wow what did we just hear. What can you say apart from the fact that he just made his presence known to the world. Drew leaves the ring up the rampway as the show ends with Braun still laid out in the ring covered in his own blood with Drew standing on the entrance way celebrating and smiling looking back at Braun Strowman as we fade to black.
