Live From Hammerstein Ballroom, New York
The scene opens on a meticulously clean podium. A large banner behind it reads: "
Laurinaitis: The True Cutter.
Vote #PeoplePower "
John Laurinaitis, dressed in a crisp suit and sporting a disturbingly sincere smile, steps up to the microphone. A smattering of lukewarm applause fills the arena. He adjusts his tie and begins.
" Good evening, wrestling fans. Or, as I prefer to call you, my constituents in the squared circle! I stand before you tonight, not as a wrestler, but as a man of the people! A man who understands hard work, dedication, and… more importantly… originality! My opponent, Diamond Dallas Page, a man who rides on the coattails of innovation, has issued a challenge for 'Cutting The Ace.' He claims… he claims… to be the originator of the maneuver known as the Diamond Cutter! Ladies and gentlemen, I say to you tonight: That is FAKE NEWS! That is… Alternative Facts!
For years, I have patiently allowed Mr. Page to parade around, taking credit for something that is rightfully mine! The ACE Cutter! I conceived it. I perfected it. I delivered it with the precision of a Swiss watch! Under my People Power i brought the move to Japan and the world! But let’s get to the facts. What is the Diamond Cutter? A mere cutter delivered with a cocky attitude! It’s style over substance! It’s flash over functionality! My Ace Cutter… it's a knockout blow delivered with the precision of a… well, a knockout blow! This match at 'Cutting The Ace' is not just about wrestling. It's about truth! It's about integrity! It's about who truly deserves the respect and recognition for pioneering one of the most devastating maneuvers in sports entertainment history! This is about the future of Professional Wrestling. And to the people, I offer only the Truth! On Sunday, I will step into that ring, not as a wrestler, but as a champion of truth! To show the real originator of the cutter! I will expose Diamond Dallas Page for the fraud that he is! I will cut through the lies like a… well, like a ACE Cutter through butter! And when the dust settles, and I stand victorious, the world will finally know… John Laurinaitis is the true innovator! The true originator!
So, I ask you, wrestling fans, when you see me deliver the Ace Cutter on Sunday, remember this: You are witnessing not just a wrestling move, but a victory for truth, justice, and the American way! Vote #PeoplePower! Vote Laurinaitis! Thank you, and God bless America! "
**** We cut to the Jamboree vignette *****
Show starts with Otis in the ring. He cuts a promo on the opportunity he has been given, and about how honored and humble he feels. But he savagely gets cut short offcourse, as MJF's music cranks the arena speakers and the EAM Champion walks out on the stage to massive booo's from the audience. He makes his way down the ramp and into the ring, where he gestures for a microphone.
" Hold on, you… oversized buffoon," MJF sneered, his voice dripping with condescension. "Did you actually think for one second that I, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, personally approved this… match? Let me make something crystal clear: I didn't!
I am the World Heavyweight Champion! I decide who is worthy of sharing a ring with me, let alone challenging me for MY title! And you, Otis? You are a joke!" MJF stepped closer, his eyes blazing with fury. "You're not even fit to lace my boots! I'm not even sure you are able to lace a couple of boots to very frankly! "
MJF raised the title belt, aiming a swift, brutal strike at Otis's head. But Otis, surprisingly agile for his size, sidestepped the blow. Seizing the moment, he scooped MJF high in the air, and with a thunderous roar, delivered a devastating powerbomb to the champion! The arena exploded. Otis, breathing heavily, stood over the fallen MJF. He picked up the EAM World Heavyweight Championship, held it aloft, and the crowd went wild, chanting his name. The message was clear: Otis was ready, he was coming for the gold. Approved by MJF or not...

Singles Matchup
Hook Vs Orange Cassidy
As the match is over we cut straight to the backstage area where Danhausen has been watching the match from a very special place where you can see trough some holes in the rafters, as AJ Styles walks by. He wonders what Danhausen is up to, and Danhausen says that he is looking after Orange Cassidy. It seems he has been in a bit of a rough lately. Styles laughs, saying " telling me about it " as he gave Cassidy a nice ass-kicking just last week. Danhausen looks at Styles, and says that he should not make jokes, as they can come back and bite him in the ass. Literally. Styles ponders this for a moment but thinks nothing more of it, as Danhausen is a strange fellow. Danhausen then tells Styles that he almost forgot to tell him that he did him a favour earlier tonight. Styles wonder what kind of favour, but Danhausen doesn't really answer it. He just says that he saw that Styles was not on the upcoming PPV card, but took care of it. Nothing to worry about. Danhausen has great plans for Styles. Very good, very evil plans. Styles, a bit freaked out, tells Danhausen to stay out of his business, or else he will make Danhausen his business. Danhausen just laughs, saying that he's already Danhausen's business. He took care of that...

We cut back to ringside then for a very anticipated matchup. The tension between these two has been boiling for weeks now, and last week it seemed like the tag team that we usually know as calm and cool, are now losing it on all cylinders. Tonight they meet one on one for the first timer ever. Maybe this showdown can calm things down between them. Whatever happens, this upcoming matchup is another " First time ever " in the EAM history books!

Tag Team Matchup
FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dash Harwood) Vs DIY (Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa)
We go backstage where we meet up with Alicia Atout who is about to make an interview with the guy who from now on wants to be refered to as Bron Steiner. He does not give Alica much chance to make much of an interview, because he snatched the microphone rudely out of her hands and looks straight into the camera, and puts down a challenge to anyone in the locker room, just to prove that he is a force to be reckoned with, not to mention the FUTURE of this company and this business! So, if you want to be one of many stepping stones that Bron Steiner will use to elevate his career, meet up this very sunday at Cutting The Ace in Philadelphia!
He gives the microphone back to a flabbergasted Alicia, and we cut back to ringside for our main event of the night...
