Taped in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
As the show is about to start we get the announcement that on tonight's show, Adam Cole will be defending his Ornate Prime Title against Seth Rollins, that the board of directors apparently are very found of and think he deserves a title shot. There will also be a big Pride Fatal 4-Way Match tonight and tonight's main event will feature tag team action between four of the 8 hoursewomen. EAM Womens Champion; Becky Lynch teams up with her friend Charlotte Flair to square off against EAM World Heavyweight Champion; Ronda Rousey, and one of her three friends. Not only that, but newly signed Nia Jax, who has wreaked havoc upon the women since her arrival are set up against a returning star tonight. This and much more! We cut to the vignette.....
Show starts with GM Christopher Daniels walking out on the stage. He adress the crowd and welcomes everyone to another episode of whatever... (It's a joke since EAM are not on their regular TV schedule as of late) he then announce that their opening match tonight, is scheduled for one fall, and it's for The Ornate Prime Championship!!!
Ornate Prime Title Matchup
Adam Cole Vs Seth Rollins
Great match between lots of good high flying and big spots throughout. Rollins gets close even nailing a CURBSTOMP...1...2...Cole kicks out. Cole looks for the flip piledriver but Rollins reverses and looks for the god’s last gift...
As the match comes to an end and Seth has the upper hand, Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish storms the ring and saves Cole, ending the match in a DQ, thus Adam Cole retains The Ornate Prime Title. Then Young Bucks jumps the barricade and attacks Kyle and Bobby. It ends in a brawl that continues until staff manage to restore order and we cut to backstage.
Thank god it ended that way didn’t want that match to happen or pick a winner. Kind of weird Dragon would interfere though since they’re face but cool. Brawl continues the feud.
Backstage we hook up with Maria who is about to interview Pride Champion; Velveteen Dream, who is dressed like (Shaun Michaels?) for the evening. The Pride Title is draped over his shoulder and he's wearing exactly the same sunglasses as HBk used to wear back in the time. Maria asks him what he thinks of the competition in Pride, and who he think his next opponent might be. Velveteen says that if you ask him, he's gotta be square with her and say; Pride is really to small for him. He deserve to expose himself on the main stage, but, meanwhile, before that happens, he is happy with were he is right now. For the competition, he hope they throw him some new meat really, because he need it to keep in shape. He does not think either Cobb or Walter will get another shot soon, as it seems they are more focused on each other. So, it will be interesting to see who comes out as a winner tonight, cause that would surely be a name to consider for his next opponent. Then he tells Maria to excuse him, as he's been asked to be a special guest commentator for this upcoming match, and he should be at ringside right now, because music are cranking the speakers, and it's not his music.....
Fatal 4-Way Matchup (Pride Champion Velveteen Dream is special guest commentator)
Pete Dunne Vs Matthew Riddle Vs Will Ospreay Vs Mustafa Ali
Dream is special for sure. Future of EAM and needs a slow build. He’s fine on Pride for now. Awesome match for sure with a lot of different styles and mixes. Back and forth big spots and close finisher falls. Riddle gets his kicks in and Dunne’s submission...
During the match when the action is at it's peak and the commentators have enough to call, suddenly someone attack Velveteen Dream from the back with his own belt. It's Mustafa Ali! He launches out a couple of punches and knocks Velveteen Dream off his chair. The guys tumble on the floor for a while before security manage to separate them and restore order.....
Dream gets taken down by Ali. Dunne looks for the finish on Ali who’s about to tap but Riddle breaks it up. Riddle nails the big kicks before the dive but Dream just after that nails the top rope elbow to Riddle’s back getting the 3 count on him.
We cut to a promo. We find ourselves in a dark place. Some kind of cave or something. The only source of light is a small campfire. Beside the campfire sits a giant man. As the camera gets closer, we can now see The Viking Warrior Hafthor. He's sitting with his legs crossed and eyes closed. Almost like he's in some sort of trance. We suddenly see images, moving pictures and sounds. We see a burning cross. We see spikes. Screams and agony. We see blood. We see fire. Is it war? is it the end of the world? (Ragnarok) The voices humms, over and over " I told you there would be consequences " Over and over and over until Hafthor opens his eyes and screams like a madman. Like a barbarian in berserker mode. The sound echoes trough the cave......
Mixed Tag Team Matchup
Cody & Brandi Rhodes Vs Joey Ryan & Paige
Interesting promos for sure. The rebirth of Hafthor. Solid match tag in this one with heat behind it. Paige and Joey are pretty cool with each other. Cross Rhodes on Paige but at the end of the match Paige nails the Turner on Brandi for the 3 count and revenge for the PPV.
As we get back from commercial we hook up backstage with Alicia Atout who stands together with GM of Pride; Drake Younger. He says he's got an announcement regarding The Pride Tag Team Titles. There has been a lot on social media where fans want War Raiders (Hanson & Ray Rowe) to get a rematch against Mustache Mountain, because of the mistake with the referee and the shoulder etc. So, I decided that the fans and Hanson & Rowe will get their rematch. At Supersplash, they will be facing for the titles again, and this time, in a 2-Out-Of-3 Falls Match! And...to make it even a bit more interesting. You see, since the PPV will be live from our cruise ship. Why wont make it a Falls Count Anywhere too?
Singles Matchup
Nia Jax Vs Lylah Lodge
Awesome that Alicia is involved she’s really good and cute. Makes sense a third shot I guess not sure who else could fight them and wow a big gimmick. I wasn’t that to be a falls count anywhere match though but never been done before I don’t think. The bell rings for this match...BAAAM JAX SPLASH LODGE IN THE CORNER. SAMOAN DROP...1...2...3...DONE!. Jax buries Lodge in 30 seconds jesus!.
After the match, as Nia Jax walks up the rampway to get backstage, Ronda's music cranks the speakers. This is only because Ronda's match is next and it's the main event, but either way, as Ronda gets out on the stage, she find herself eye to eye with Nia. They have a big stare of before Nia suddenly lunges at her, knocking her straight down. Nia doesn't end there, she sits on top of Ronda, sending punch after punch at her face, this happens for a couple of seconds before music once again cranks the speakers and all of Ronda's friends runs out to stop Nia. They knock Nia off Ronda, but the damage is already done it seems. Ronda is badly hurt and Nia gets quickly back on her feet. The three girls all take a couple of steps back, but Nia doesn't advance on them, instead she laughs and leaves for the backstage. Marina Shafir, Shayna Baszler and Jessamyn Duke are left on the stage with a bloodied and bruised Ronda when EAM Women's Champion; Becky Lynch's Music cranks the speakers.......
Tag Team Matchup
Ronda Rousey & Marina Shafir Vs Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch
Not too good for Ronda who is left out of this match. Shafir tries to dominate but gets in trouble. Some big spots but Charlotte takes control on Shafir. Ronda eventually comes in taking down Charlotte and going after Becky. At the end of the match Shafir dominates Charlotte who gets a moonsault then the figure eight on Shafir who taps out!. Charlotte needs a win. Charlotte and Becky get the win as Ronda’s outside in pain. Ronda comes into the ring knocking Charlotte down with Becky’s women’s title. Ronda attacks Becky from behind locking in the Armbar on Becky. She lays on the ground trying to reach for her women’s belt in front of her as Ronda continues to lock the armbar on her!. Ronda screams tap tap tap to Becky but she dosent and just tries to grab her women’s belt. Both girls use a submission remember!. There’s been rumors of a rematch between the two and why not make it a Submission match!?. Show ends with Ronda standing over Becky holding both her world title and Becky’s women’s title as fans boo.
