" A final point in space or time; an end or extremity "

Some events go by without anyone ever recognizing it. Other events change the history and the future for ever. The city of Chicago and the wrestling business will never be the same again after Grandslam XIV - Dave Meltzer



So many action packed moments. So many emotional moments. Grandslam XIV had it all. Some even calls it the greatest wrestling show in history. It's not even 24 hours ago, and the dust hasn't even settled yet, but the show must go on, and even though it marked the end for some, it marked the beginning for others. We se a recap video of the action that happened last night, offcourse with Mickie's victory over Nia Jax as the highlight. Tonight's aftermath of the biggest show of the year has some goodies as well. Without further ado, let's get this show started! We go to the show's vignette. We are informed with a disclaimer during the vignette that tonights main event will be for The Vacant Running Mate Championship, and it will hopefully settle the score between two people once and for all, as Tommaso Ciampa and Moose face each other in a steel cage match! The show will also feature four debutants inside the EAM ring, and offcourse not to mension the repercussions of last nights grand event....

We go to ringside as the show begins, and we quickly see some changes done to the set. Now it is a interview area to the right of the stage as you walk out under the titantron. Nice touch, looks a bit like NWA's Power set up. Renee Young are placed behind a desk and she welcomes everyone to EAM Promotion and the night after the night! It's the start of season 14, and there are so much to come. We even see a new face down at the commentator's tables. Jim Cornette has joined Don Callis and William Regal at the Pride announce table! Mauro Renallo, Daniel Bryan and Nigel McGuiness all welcomes us to the show and lovely Melissa Santos is standing in the middle of the ring, ready to announce tonights first match. But she never get to, as music cranks the arena speakers. Wings of a fallen angel burst trough the speakers as the general manager of Jamboree makes his way out on the stage. He is carrying something under one of his arms, but we cannot see what as it is covered in a black cloth of some kind. He makes his wat down the rampway and into the ring where he apologizes to Melissa and tells her she can sit down for a minute as he has a couple of things to announce. He first asks the people in attendance if they think Grandslam was good, and he gets one hell of a pop reaction from the crowd. He smiles and says that's good, because that was the idea. But, just as the biggest wrestling show on earth has to end, other things also has an end. He's not out here to hog the limelight or anything, but he just want everyone to know that it's been one hell of a ride, and he is honored to be a part of this spectacular since the beginning, and in latter years, even be an intricate part of the weekly TV schedule, as general manager of Jamboree. But it has to end some day, and in EAM Promotions we have a tradition of settle things in the ring. But, the fact is, that settle the question about who's gonna replace me as general manager of Jamboree in the ring is not really an option, because my replacement and I go way back, and we have wrestled against each other more times than most others. And he won most of the matches. The last one at Grandslam 12. He is a guy I have nothing else than utter respect for. Please welcome, the new general manager of Monday night Jamboree! Music cranks the arena speakers and the audience goes wild! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJj5MGO6FCw. Randy Orton has been one of EAM's posterboys since the beginning, and he's done about everything you can do, and now he is our new general manager. He looks good walking down the rampway, dressed in a dark blue suit for the occasion. He makes his way into the ring where he shakes hands with Christopher Daniels. Who would have guessed this some years ago? Daniels hands over the microphone to Orton but are still holding the thing covered in the black cloth. Orton adresses the crowd and once again gets a big pop from the crowd. He tells everyone that he wont keep them for long, but as new general manager, he has some duties to do, and one of them is to adress the fact that the womens division is without a world title as of now. After last nights epic main event, who quite possibly was the greatest womens wrestling match in history, Mickie James retired with the title. Orton gets interrupted then by the audience who starts to chant " Thank you Mickie " Orton then says that Mickie would propably have liked to have been here tonight, but she is not in the arena tonight, as she is home together with Emil, relaxing and healing up. And I am sure that the EAM Womens Championship Title already is placed on their living room wall, over their TV. But that means, that the girls need a new title to compete for. So let me introduce, The Center Of Attention Championship! Orton pulls the cloth out of Daniels' hands, revealing a shiny new title belt. The strap is classic black, with side pieces in gold formed as spotlights. The center piece also in gold, with the letters COA Womens Champion in a darker gold than the plate. Daniels holds it up for everyone to see. Then, they get interrupted when music cranks arena speakers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zaNdV-zBmw. Charlotte Flair makes her way out on the stage. She is not dressed to wrestle tonight, but she is here with a cause. Determined she makes her way down the ramp and into the ring, where she wastes no time, walking straight up to the new general manager. She grabs the microphone out of his hands, showing no respect what so ever. She tells Orton that she's got a question for the new general manager. If this is the new womens championship, how will he determine who's going to get it? Mickie retired with the old title, and the number one contender for that title is standig right in front of Orton right now, and she demands that actions are taken. As Charlotte sees it, the most logical thing for Orton to do is to award Charlotte the new title. After all she is the number one contender. Orton grabs the microphone back, then starting to tell Charlotte that he doesn't like her attitute. He then tells her that he's perfectly clear about the fact that Charlotte is the number one contender, but that doesn't mean she is in the position to demand anything. What it does mean however, is that Charlotte will get a match for the new womens title, as she is entitled to. At Fight For Glory, Charlotte Flair will get the chance to become the first ever COA Womens Champion, as she battles..........Nia Jax!!!! What?! The audience loves it, but Charlotte does not. She throws a hiss at Orton, giving him a tirade of bad words. When Orton is about to reply but gets cut off.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0ePeQoD3Jg. Becky makes her way out on the stage, getting a big pop from the crowd. But that is all she gets. Before she manage to get off the stage and down the rampway, someone attacks from behind. It's Ronda! Ronda throws kicks and punches to Becky before lifting her up and suplexing her backwards into the titantron. Ouch! Becky landed awkward, that had to hurt! The commotion has drawn the attention away from the ring, now everone's attention is on the stage in front of the titantron. Becky manage to get back on her feet, avoiding a couple of attacks from Ronda in the process. Exchanging of blows now as both girls throws punches at each other. Charlotte has left the ring and have made her way up the rampway almost unseen as everyone focuses on Becky and Ronda. They are two focused on each other to detect that Charlotte is up on the stage with them as well. She charges. Oh My God! All three women goes over the stage and down below, crashing trough a couple of tables in the fall as Charlotte connects with a double arm lariat manouver. The audience are chanting " Holy shit " as crew members and security together with the old and new general manager trying to restore order. We haven't even got to our first match of tonights show, and now we are forced to take a break while order is restored... We get a promo video regarding the upcoming PPV Fight For Glory 14, who will take place at The T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada. As we saw moments ago, Christopher Daniels has already passed the GM torch over to Randy Orton, but as he also said during the segment, in EAM Promotions, things are usually settled in the ring, and it's usual to give stars of the ring, one last match. And hopefully it will be at a big event and against a good opponent. So the match will be remembered for the right reasons. At Fight For Glory 14, Christopher Daniels will wrestle his last match for EAM Promotions, and he wants the fans to decide who is opponent should be. A poll will be put up on the EAM website so the fans can go there and choose their pick. The promo ends with Daniels thanking the fans. Because without them, there would be no show to put up..... We then go back to ringside where Melissa Santos is back in the ring, and this time she manage to make the introductions without getting interrupted.

Tag Team Matchup
Tessa Blanchard & Toni Storm Vs Taeler Hendrix & Scarlett Bordeaux

We see a promo video with Ricochet. He's in a gloomy lit bathroom. It doesn't look like any of the EAM locker rooms. He turns the faucet on and splashes cold water in his face. He sighs, putting his hands on the wall, leaning against it, haning over the sink. He looks into the mirror over the sink. His face in the mirror are blurry. Is there something wrong with his eyes? Or is the mirror just damp? He wipes the mirror with his right hand, instantly turning the face in the mirror. He jumps back, for a second it was almost like he saw the mask of Prince Puma in the mirror instead of his own facial features. He leans towards the mirror with his eyes shut. He opens them, staring straight into the mirror. It's not blurry anymore, but he only see's himself in the reflection. It must have been his imagination. He sighs again, turns off the faucet and turns around. He cannot see it, as his back is turned against the mirror, but we can see what he don't for a mere couple of seconds before he turns off the light in the bathroom. In the reflection from the mirror we can clearly see a face, even if it is just for a few seconds. And it's not the face of Ricochet, or Prince Puma. But the face of Aleister Black...

We cut back to the ring where Melissa is about to introduce our next matchup for the night, and it's between two debutants. And if we are to believe Jim Cornette, who has joined the Pride commentator table for this season, the audience might be in for something special, as these two individuals are not your average cup of tea. And it's not by coincidence they are facing each other in their debut. But the EAM fans will understand what they mean soon enough.

Singles Matchup
Mick Moretti Vs Tripp Cassidy

As we get back from commercial break, Adam Cole's music cranks the speakers. The double champion walks out on the stage with both The Ornate Prime Title and The NWA World Heavyweight Title draped over each shoulder. Kyle and Bobby walks up behind him and they doesn't make their way down to the ring, but walks up to Renee and the new interview area. Cole wastes no time, speaking before Renee even manages to say anything. Cole adresses Adam Page, mocking him by repeating something Page told him a couple of weeks ago. Cole says he will be defending the Ornate Prime Title at Fight For Glory, and he will be defending the NWA title next week. You see, that's what champions do. But to keep being a champion, you have to defend your title, and that's where the difference between Adam Cole and Adam Page is. You see, Cole knows how to keep a title. But he's not out here to talk about Adam Page, because he is a closed chapter now, as Cole proved at Grandslam. And it suddenly seems he has other thinks to worry about as he has problems within own ranks, so Cole is not going to waste more energy on him. No, he is out here to show himself to the fans, as he understand there is something special in watching him live. It's not something worthy of everyone. Besides that, his boys Kyle and Bobby are going to wrestle next against a debuting tag team, and he wants to get the best seat in the house for that. The interview is over without Renee even getting in a word as Cole leads Kyle and Bobby down the rampway, before going around the ring, finding a chair and setting it up besides the announce tables. He sits down while Kyle and Bobby makes themselves ready in the ring.

Tag Team Matchup
reDragon (Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish) Vs Sonny Defarge & Cornelius Crummels

We see a promotional video with The Hardcore Legend Mick Foley, as he reflects on last night, and then especially on his daugthers match against Brooke Hogan. It's not the fact that Noelle lost that annoys him, as he is proud of what she did, hell, he probably lost twice the number of matches than he won in his career. No, it's Hulk Hogan's ego that annoys him. That, and the fact that he always got what he wanted. And the fact that because of that, he ruined the chance for so many other people to rise as professional wrestlers, because for like 100 years now, everything has been about Hulk Hogan and his big ego, and he is sick of it! The wrestling business would look so much better without Hulk Hogan, sadly for those almost 100 years it doesn't seem like anyone is capable of removing him. Maybe because he never faced Mick Foley in his career? Maybe Hogan should feel a bit lucky they never crossed paths.

Singles Matchup
AJ Styles Vs Andrade

After the match, whoever wins it. Styles is left in the ring gesturing for a microphone. Seconds go by, but no microphone is coming. Styles gets annoyed, commanding one of the crew members to hand him a microphone, but still no response. This annoys Styles even more, and it doesn't get better when the audience starts to chant mocking chants at him. Styles rolls out of the ring, pushes the crew guy that didn't respond aside and grabs a microphone laying on the bellkeeper's table. He taps on it to make sure it works, but no sound. He throws the mircrophone down onto the canvas and once again rolls out of the ring. This time he walks up to the commentators table searching for another microphone. Styles' face grows more and more into a tone of red. He finds a microphone on the Jamboree announce table and are about to grab it when Daniel Bryan puts a hand over it. Everyone knows the history between these two, ending with Styles ending Bryan's career. Styles snaps as he's had enough and sends a flat hand right over Bryan's face. Bryan takes to his face, releasing the grip on the microphone and Styles seizes the moment and grabs it before quickly rolling back into the ring. He taps on the microphone, and this one works. He is about to speak when he gets cut off again, this time by music from the arena speakers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsRBe8PtIcY. Orange Cassidy walks out on the stage in his vintage denim attire and black sunglasses. He has quickly become a crowd favorite here in EAM, and he's already taken a couple of scalps within the short time he's been on the roster. He walks down the rampway, slowly. AJ Styles are still standing in the ring, seemingly about to explode with anger. Cassidy's music on the speakers stops Styles from saying anything, so he does the only thing he can do, he waits. After five minutes or so, Cassidy has reached ringside, but he doesn't get into the ring, at least not right away. He starts to moonwalk and does a complete round around the ring before deciding it's time to make his way in. His music finally stops as he walks up to AJ Styles. It's a stare down in the middle of the ring, kind of, since Cassidy has his sunglasses still on, so we cannot say if he is staring or not. The noise is finally calming down, except for some Orange Cassidy chants, but it's silent enough for Styles' voice to be heard trough the microphone, so finally he gets to speak. But he decide not to. He drops the microphone in front of Cassidy's feet before leaving the ring. The audience starts with Cassidy chants as Styles walks back up the rampway heading to the back. We go to commercial break with Cassidy standing alone in the ring hands in his pockets, sunglasses still on.

As we get back from commercial break, we go to the new interview area where Renee are standing together with the general manager of Pride; Drake Younger. Renee asks what the fans can expect from Pride this season etc. and Drake answers that they will be hireing new talents this season, with some allready penned down but not all are cleared for in-ring competition etc. yet, but he can guarantee that the fans will have much to look forward to. He tells that also this season Pride will have their own PPV, named " Three Steel Steps To Heaven " , and there has even been rumors about a womens divions. But, before anything of that, he has one thing to take care of. The one thing that means the most on this brand, and that is The Pride Championship. Velveteen was a great champion, holding the strap longer than anyone before him, almost 11 months, before losing it to Lars Sullivan last night. It was not a bad way to lose it, and Dream didn't look any less than he usually do. Besides, he's already gone from Pride to other hunting grounds, so Dream's reign stands as a milestone in Pride history, as of now at least. But, with a new champion on Pride and the former champion moving to the orange brand, he as general manager need to find a challenger for the new Pride Champion. Something he is determined to do in good time before Fight For Glory, so up next tonight is a triple threat match between the three men that Drake concider to be the biggest challengers for the Pride Title. Two of them are no strangers to competing for the Pride gold, but neither has managed to win it yet. The third one has never had a title match for the title, but that is just a question about time. Suddenly a cellphone rings. This is awkard. It continues to ring, as the person who's holding it seemingly doesn't want to reveal himself. But at last Drake pulls off a phone from his pants and says sorry to Renee, as he knows it is pretty unprofessional to have your phone ring on live tv, but it's probably very important, as that ringtone is a special one, only ringing if it is the chairman himself that rings. He answers. And you can quickly see on Drake's facial expression and his replies that the news he just got from the other end is not of the good kind. He replies with a series of Ok's before hanging up, and without saying or explaining anything he quickly runs backstage. Renee stands back with a curious expression on her face, but then we cut to a camera backstage and follow Younger as he runs down the hallway. In the end of the hallway we can see a group of people gathered around someone on the floor. As Drake reaches the group, they move a bit, making way for him. We can now see who it is laying down on the floor. It's The Pride Champion; Lars Sullivan. He is out cold. Who did this? And where is The Pride Title belt? Drake screams for someone to fetch a doctor or some medical crew while trying to get check on Lars the best he can himself. We cut back to the arena where the commentators are discussing the current events, wonderig who could have done it. Could any of the three men in the upcoming match have done it to easy his chances to beat Lars on a later point? Guess it will be only speculations at this point. The commentators promise that they will keep the viewers informed if there is any updates regarding the attack or the attacker.

Triple Threat Matchup
Will Ospreay Vs WALTER Pete Dunne

After the match, whoever wins it. WALTER goes apeshit in the ring, beating down both Will and Pete with stiff chops and hard impact throws. It turns bowling shoe ugly quick as neither Will or Pete are able to defend themselves at a point, but WALTER keeps on with the beating. The audience booooo's, but that only trigger's WALTER more. He feed's on the heat from the fans in the arena. He lifts up both men, one in each arm and are about to knock their heads together when music cranks the arena speakers. The audience cheers as Shinsuke Nakamura makes his way down the rampway with great speed and slides into the ring. WALTER has released his grip on Will and Pete, now focusing on the man that just entered the ring. Will and Pete slowly makes their bruised bodies to safety, leaving the scene to The King Of Strongstyle. WALTER and Nakamura has a stare down in the middle of the ring before WALTER charges with a right hand, but Nakamura reverses and delivers a chop of his own to WALTER. And another one, and another one, and another one. The audience counts 1...2...3....4....5....6...7....8....9.....but as Nakamura is about to deliver the 10th chop WALTER has had enough. He grabs Nakamura's arm and irishwhips him into the corner, he follows and charges for an attack but Nakamura is fast and gets our of harms way. Nakamura goes for the ropes and deliver a devastating neckbreak-type manouver to WALTER. The fans starts to chant his name as he sits up in the middle of the ring, smiling. WALTER decides he doesn't wanna play anymore today so he wisely gets out of the ring and makes his way up the ramp. The two men catches eyes again as Nakamura gets back up on his feet in the ring and WALTER reaches the stage. This is surely not the last time these two will make aquintances, but it's probably the first...

Singles Matchup
" Hangman " Adam Page Vs " The Villain " Marty Scurll

Whoever wins the match, the rest of The Elite makes their way into the ring after the match and there is a 5-on-1 beatdown! Even Brandi is giving some punches. Page is defenceless, beaten down to a bloody pulp in one of the corners as Cody and the others in The Elite are taking in the heat from the audience. But suddenly their boooo's turns to cheers, and it takes a while for the members of The Elite to understand this sudden turn of events, but then they realize what the source is. Adam Page has " friends " in peculiar places, because down the rampway comes Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish running with The Ornate Prime and NWA Champion: Adam Cole right behind. They all stop at ringside where they get eye contact with the guys in the ring. Nobody does anything. Nobody tries to leave the ring, but neither member Undisputed Era tries to enter the ring either. Then Adam Cole makes a waving gesture, like he signalizes something. Then, the audience once again are alive as a fourth person walks out on the stage. It's Roderick Strong! The last member of The Undisputed Era. It's almost a year since we last saw him. He's been dealing with injuries but are now cleared it seems. And everyone manage to keep it a secret. He gets one of the biggest pops of the nights as he makes his way down the ramp and join his fellow team members. The four male members of The Elite are staring down at them from the ring, ready for any movement. Then, the lights suddenly goes out, and it stay turned of for quite a little while. Then, in the pitch dark arena, in the middle of the ring, suddenly hundreds of small lights starts to flicker, in a variety of different colors. The audience are making noise, some of the fans already understand what they are watching, but within a second the whole arena knows. Because as the lights suddenly comes back on we all see the source of the flickering lights. The Jacket of Chris Jericho!!! This is a mark out moment for sure. He gets the biggest pop of the night for sure. Jericho has reunited with the others in The Elite, and now it's no more fun and games. Brandi wisely leaves the ring to the guys as the member of The Undisputed Era slides into the ring and within a second it has turned into a brawl. It's hands and feet everywhere and completely chaos. These two factions have quite a history. It might seem like the feud has re-kindled. The brawl goes on for some time, but then suddenly, once again the lights goes out. We can easily hear the commotion in the ring, as it continues still even as it's pitch dark. But then it calms down, it's like they stopped to fight all together. Or? The lights gets back on after a couple of more seconds, but nobody was expecting to see what they now see. All men are literally out cold. Some inside the ring, some outside. Some even on the other side of the barricade. What the fuck just happened? Then, the titantron starts to flicker and distorted images appears, then more distortion, and the screen goes black, distortion, screen flickers up and down before it finally settles and we can make out three letters; UVS. Camera cut's and we go to commercial break.

Tag Team Matchup
World's Greatest Tag Team (Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas) Vs Doin' It For Her (Seth Rollins & Jimmy Jacobs)

We see a segment where we get to see some parts of a upcoming documentary made by EAM. It's about the womens division and how women have made their impact on the sport. We see short clips of interviews with the likes of Lufisto, Sara Del Rey and Melina, who where amoungst the first women on the EAM roster, and how they remember they time in EAM and what they think of the future of womens wrestling etc. We then get to see short highlights from the storied career of Mickie James in EAM, and we get to hear she say that she has great hopes for the future of the womens division in EAM. We then get to see a small commercial, hyping up the new TV show; Spotlight, who will be a tv show just for the girls in the promotion. We even get teased about something that might look like a all girls only PPV as we see a promotional poster with the event name " No Boys Allowed " We then cut back to the arena, where we hook up with Alexa Bliss and Leah Von Dutch backstage. Bliss is upset because they where screwed out of the tag team match last night, losing the opportunity to become the first ever womens tag team champions. Leah tries to calm Alexa down, but it doesn't really help much. Leah then says she wishes it was another way to the top. She's been working her ass for since she arrived her, but not getting much recognition for her work. Alexa have at least got title matches. Alexa suddenly goes mysteriously silent, and Leah wonders what's on Alexa's mind. Leah wondered if there was another way to the top? Alexa might just know of one. She leans over to Leah and whispers something in her ear. The last thing we get to see or hear before we cut to ringside for tonights main event are Leah's reaction to what Alexa whispered.

Leah: Are you serious??

Cage Matchup For The Vacant Running Mates Championship
Tommaso Ciampa Vs Moose

As the show is coming to an end, the lights in the arena flickers for some seconds, then suddenly goes out. Then the titantron starts to flicker. First only distortion. No picture at all. Then, suddenly. Flashy images appear on the titantron, each image only appears for like half a second. Thumbtacks scattered out, panes of glass breaking under the impact of a body. Blood dripping barb wire, syringes and a baptism basin filled with blood. The images suddenly disappears, leaving only blackness left on the tron. Then, one last flash, but this keeps a while longer on the tron before it's gone. We can easily read out the blood dripping letters as they spell out UVS. Then camera cuts.....

" A final point in space or time; an end or extremity "

Some events go by without anyone ever recognizing it. Other events change the history and the future for ever. The city of Chicago and the wrestling business will never be the same again after Grandslam XIV - Dave Meltzer



So many action packed moments. So many emotional moments. Grandslam XIV had it all. Some even calls it the greatest wrestling show in history. It's not even 24 hours ago, and the dust hasn't even settled yet, but the show must go on, and even though it marked the end for some, it marked the beginning for others. We se a recap video of the action that happened last night, offcourse with Mickie's victory over Nia Jax as the highlight. Tonight's aftermath of the biggest show of the year has some goodies as well. Without further ado, let's get this show started! We go to the show's vignette. We are informed with a disclaimer during the vignette that tonights main event will be for The Vacant Running Mate Championship, and it will hopefully settle the score between two people once and for all, as Tommaso Ciampa and Moose face each other in a steel cage match! The show will also feature four debutants inside the EAM ring, and offcourse not to mension the repercussions of last nights grand event....

We go to ringside as the show begins, and we quickly see some changes done to the set. Now it is a interview area to the right of the stage as you walk out under the titantron. Nice touch, looks a bit like NWA's Power set up. Renee Young are placed behind a desk and she welcomes everyone to EAM Promotion and the night after the night! It's the start of season 14, and there are so much to come. We even see a new face down at the commentator's tables. Jim Cornette has joined Don Callis and William Regal at the Pride announce table! Mauro Renallo, Daniel Bryan and Nigel McGuiness all welcomes us to the show and lovely Melissa Santos is standing in the middle of the ring, ready to announce tonights first match. But she never get to, as music cranks the arena speakers. Wings of a fallen angel burst trough the speakers as the general manager of Jamboree makes his way out on the stage. He is carrying something under one of his arms, but we cannot see what as it is covered in a black cloth of some kind. He makes his wat down the rampway and into the ring where he apologizes to Melissa and tells her she can sit down for a minute as he has a couple of things to announce. He first asks the people in attendance if they think Grandslam was good, and he gets one hell of a pop reaction from the crowd. He smiles and says that's good, because that was the idea. But, just as the biggest wrestling show on earth has to end, other things also has an end. He's not out here to hog the limelight or anything, but he just want everyone to know that it's been one hell of a ride, and he is honored to be a part of this spectacular since the beginning, and in latter years, even be an intricate part of the weekly TV schedule, as general manager of Jamboree. But it has to end some day, and in EAM Promotions we have a tradition of settle things in the ring. But, the fact is, that settle the question about who's gonna replace me as general manager of Jamboree in the ring is not really an option, because my replacement and I go way back, and we have wrestled against each other more times than most others. And he won most of the matches. The last one at Grandslam 12. He is a guy I have nothing else than utter respect for. Please welcome, the new general manager of Monday night Jamboree! Music cranks the arena speakers and the audience goes wild! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJj5MGO6FCw. Randy Orton has been one of EAM's posterboys since the beginning, and he's done about everything you can do, and now he is our new general manager. He looks good walking down the rampway, dressed in a dark blue suit for the occasion. He makes his way into the ring where he shakes hands with Christopher Daniels. Who would have guessed this some years ago? Daniels hands over the microphone to Orton but are still holding the thing covered in the black cloth. Orton adresses the crowd and once again gets a big pop from the crowd. He tells everyone that he wont keep them for long, but as new general manager, he has some duties to do, and one of them is to adress the fact that the womens division is without a world title as of now. After last nights epic main event, who quite possibly was the greatest womens wrestling match in history, Mickie James retired with the title. Orton gets interrupted then by the audience who starts to chant " Thank you Mickie " Orton then says that Mickie would propably have liked to have been here tonight, but she is not in the arena tonight, as she is home together with Emil, relaxing and healing up. And I am sure that the EAM Womens Championship Title already is placed on their living room wall, over their TV. But that means, that the girls need a new title to compete for. So let me introduce, The Center Of Attention Championship! Orton pulls the cloth out of Daniels' hands, revealing a shiny new title belt. The strap is classic black, with side pieces in gold formed as spotlights. The center piece also in gold, with the letters COA Womens Champion in a darker gold than the plate. Daniels holds it up for everyone to see. Then, they get interrupted when music cranks arena speakers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zaNdV-zBmw. Charlotte Flair makes her way out on the stage. She is not dressed to wrestle tonight, but she is here with a cause. Determined she makes her way down the ramp and into the ring, where she wastes no time, walking straight up to the new general manager. She grabs the microphone out of his hands, showing no respect what so ever. She tells Orton that she's got a question for the new general manager. If this is the new womens championship, how will he determine who's going to get it? Mickie retired with the old title, and the number one contender for that title is standig right in front of Orton right now, and she demands that actions are taken. As Charlotte sees it, the most logical thing for Orton to do is to award Charlotte the new title. After all she is the number one contender. Orton grabs the microphone back, then starting to tell Charlotte that he doesn't like her attitute. He then tells her that he's perfectly clear about the fact that Charlotte is the number one contender, but that doesn't mean she is in the position to demand anything. What it does mean however, is that Charlotte will get a match for the new womens title, as she is entitled to. At Fight For Glory, Charlotte Flair will get the chance to become the first ever COA Womens Champion, as she battles..........Nia Jax!!!! What?! The audience loves it, but Charlotte does not. She throws a hiss at Orton, giving him a tirade of bad words. When Orton is about to reply but gets cut off.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0ePeQoD3Jg. Becky makes her way out on the stage, getting a big pop from the crowd. But that is all she gets. Before she manage to get off the stage and down the rampway, someone attacks from behind. It's Ronda! Ronda throws kicks and punches to Becky before lifting her up and suplexing her backwards into the titantron. Ouch! Becky landed awkward, that had to hurt! The commotion has drawn the attention away from the ring, now everone's attention is on the stage in front of the titantron. Becky manage to get back on her feet, avoiding a couple of attacks from Ronda in the process. Exchanging of blows now as both girls throws punches at each other. Charlotte has left the ring and have made her way up the rampway almost unseen as everyone focuses on Becky and Ronda. They are two focused on each other to detect that Charlotte is up on the stage with them as well. She charges. Oh My God! All three women goes over the stage and down below, crashing trough a couple of tables in the fall as Charlotte connects with a double arm lariat manouver. The audience are chanting " Holy shit " as crew members and security together with the old and new general manager trying to restore order. We haven't even got to our first match of tonights show, and now we are forced to take a break while order is restored... We get a promo video regarding the upcoming PPV Fight For Glory 14, who will take place at The T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada. As we saw moments ago, Christopher Daniels has already passed the GM torch over to Randy Orton, but as he also said during the segment, in EAM Promotions, things are usually settled in the ring, and it's usual to give stars of the ring, one last match. And hopefully it will be at a big event and against a good opponent. So the match will be remembered for the right reasons. At Fight For Glory 14, Christopher Daniels will wrestle his last match for EAM Promotions, and he wants the fans to decide who is opponent should be. A poll will be put up on the EAM website so the fans can go there and choose their pick. The promo ends with Daniels thanking the fans. Because without them, there would be no show to put up..... We then go back to ringside where Melissa Santos is back in the ring, and this time she manage to make the introductions without getting interrupted.

Tag Team Matchup
Tessa Blanchard & Toni Storm Vs Taeler Hendrix & Scarlett Bordeaux

Awesome opening so much going on. Lot of good changes. Pretty solid match in this one from both sides. Some hard brawling and signature moves but at the end of the match Storm Zero and Chard gets the win and 3 count for the opening of a new season.

We see a promo video with Ricochet. He's in a gloomy lit bathroom. It doesn't look like any of the EAM locker rooms. He turns the faucet on and splashes cold water in his face. He sighs, putting his hands on the wall, leaning against it, haning over the sink. He looks into the mirror over the sink. His face in the mirror are blurry. Is there something wrong with his eyes? Or is the mirror just damp? He wipes the mirror with his right hand, instantly turning the face in the mirror. He jumps back, for a second it was almost like he saw the mask of Prince Puma in the mirror instead of his own facial features. He leans towards the mirror with his eyes shut. He opens them, staring straight into the mirror. It's not blurry anymore, but he only see's himself in the reflection. It must have been his imagination. He sighs again, turns off the faucet and turns around. He cannot see it, as his back is turned against the mirror, but we can see what he don't for a mere couple of seconds before he turns off the light in the bathroom. In the reflection from the mirror we can clearly see a face, even if it is just for a few seconds. And it's not the face of Ricochet, or Prince Puma. But the face of Aleister Black...

We cut back to the ring where Melissa is about to introduce our next matchup for the night, and it's between two debutants. And if we are to believe Jim Cornette, who has joined the Pride commentator table for this season, the audience might be in for something special, as these two individuals are not your average cup of tea. And it's not by coincidence they are facing each other in their debut. But the EAM fans will understand what they mean soon enough.

Singles Matchup
Mick Moretti Vs Tripp Cassidy

Two new wrestlers in this one in which Cornette calls terrible throughout. A reality show with Cornette judging wrestlers would be awesome. They try hard and get some moves in. Back and forth between them both but at the end Cassidy gets the 3 count. Cornette says he’s seen better action at a funeral.

As we get back from commercial break, Adam Cole's music cranks the speakers. The double champion walks out on the stage with both The Ornate Prime Title and The NWA World Heavyweight Title draped over each shoulder. Kyle and Bobby walks up behind him and they doesn't make their way down to the ring, but walks up to Renee and the new interview area. Cole wastes no time, speaking before Renee even manages to say anything. Cole adresses Adam Page, mocking him by repeating something Page told him a couple of weeks ago. Cole says he will be defending the Ornate Prime Title at Fight For Glory, and he will be defending the NWA title next week. You see, that's what champions do. But to keep being a champion, you have to defend your title, and that's where the difference between Adam Cole and Adam Page is. You see, Cole knows how to keep a title. But he's not out here to talk about Adam Page, because he is a closed chapter now, as Cole proved at Grandslam. And it suddenly seems he has other thinks to worry about as he has problems within own ranks, so Cole is not going to waste more energy on him. No, he is out here to show himself to the fans, as he understand there is something special in watching him live. It's not something worthy of everyone. Besides that, his boys Kyle and Bobby are going to wrestle next against a debuting tag team, and he wants to get the best seat in the house for that. The interview is over without Renee even getting in a word as Cole leads Kyle and Bobby down the rampway, before going around the ring, finding a chair and setting it up besides the announce tables. He sits down while Kyle and Bobby makes themselves ready in the ring.

Tag Team Matchup
reDragon (Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish) Vs Sonny Defarge & Cornelius Crummels

Pretty much a showcase for Dragon in this one. Way of the Dragon get the 3 count for the win and after the match they attack them again sending a message to other teams. Sonny and Corn look ok but just not enough for the win.

We see a promotional video with The Hardcore Legend Mick Foley, as he reflects on last night, and then especially on his daugthers match against Brooke Hogan. It's not the fact that Noelle lost that annoys him, as he is proud of what she did, hell, he probably lost twice the number of matches than he won in his career. No, it's Hulk Hogan's ego that annoys him. That, and the fact that he always got what he wanted. And the fact that because of that, he ruined the chance for so many other people to rise as professional wrestlers, because for like 100 years now, everything has been about Hulk Hogan and his big ego, and he is sick of it! The wrestling business would look so much better without Hulk Hogan, sadly for those almost 100 years it doesn't seem like anyone is capable of removing him. Maybe because he never faced Mick Foley in his career? Maybe Hogan should feel a bit lucky they never crossed paths.

Singles Matchup
AJ Styles Vs Andrade

Solid match from the both of them which goes a good 15 minutes. Lucha styles and a tranquilo. High flying fast paced action but at the end of the match AJ nails the styles clash for the 3 count and win. Andrade looks good though again.

After the match, whoever wins it. Styles is left in the ring gesturing for a microphone. Seconds go by, but no microphone is coming. Styles gets annoyed, commanding one of the crew members to hand him a microphone, but still no response. This annoys Styles even more, and it doesn't get better when the audience starts to chant mocking chants at him. Styles rolls out of the ring, pushes the crew guy that didn't respond aside and grabs a microphone laying on the bellkeeper's table. He taps on it to make sure it works, but no sound. He throws the mircrophone down onto the canvas and once again rolls out of the ring. This time he walks up to the commentators table searching for another microphone. Styles' face grows more and more into a tone of red. He finds a microphone on the Jamboree announce table and are about to grab it when Daniel Bryan puts a hand over it. Everyone knows the history between these two, ending with Styles ending Bryan's career. Styles snaps as he's had enough and sends a flat hand right over Bryan's face. Bryan takes to his face, releasing the grip on the microphone and Styles seizes the moment and grabs it before quickly rolling back into the ring. He taps on the microphone, and this one works. He is about to speak when he gets cut off again, this time by music from the arena speakers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsRBe8PtIcY. Orange Cassidy walks out on the stage in his vintage denim attire and black sunglasses. He has quickly become a crowd favorite here in EAM, and he's already taken a couple of scalps within the short time he's been on the roster. He walks down the rampway, slowly. AJ Styles are still standing in the ring, seemingly about to explode with anger. Cassidy's music on the speakers stops Styles from saying anything, so he does the only thing he can do, he waits. After five minutes or so, Cassidy has reached ringside, but he doesn't get into the ring, at least not right away. He starts to moonwalk and does a complete round around the ring before deciding it's time to make his way in. His music finally stops as he walks up to AJ Styles. It's a stare down in the middle of the ring, kind of, since Cassidy has his sunglasses still on, so we cannot say if he is staring or not. The noise is finally calming down, except for some Orange Cassidy chants, but it's silent enough for Styles' voice to be heard trough the microphone, so finally he gets to speak. But he decide not to. He drops the microphone in front of Cassidy's feet before leaving the ring. The audience starts with Cassidy chants as Styles walks back up the rampway heading to the back. We go to commercial break with Cassidy standing alone in the ring hands in his pockets, sunglasses still on.

As we get back from commercial break, we go to the new interview area where Renee are standing together with the general manager of Pride; Drake Younger. Renee asks what the fans can expect from Pride this season etc. and Drake answers that they will be hireing new talents this season, with some allready penned down but not all are cleared for in-ring competition etc. yet, but he can guarantee that the fans will have much to look forward to. He tells that also this season Pride will have their own PPV, named " Three Steel Steps To Heaven " , and there has even been rumors about a womens divions. But, before anything of that, he has one thing to take care of. The one thing that means the most on this brand, and that is The Pride Championship. Velveteen was a great champion, holding the strap longer than anyone before him, almost 11 months, before losing it to Lars Sullivan last night. It was not a bad way to lose it, and Dream didn't look any less than he usually do. Besides, he's already gone from Pride to other hunting grounds, so Dream's reign stands as a milestone in Pride history, as of now at least. But, with a new champion on Pride and the former champion moving to the orange brand, he as general manager need to find a challenger for the new Pride Champion. Something he is determined to do in good time before Fight For Glory, so up next tonight is a triple threat match between the three men that Drake concider to be the biggest challengers for the Pride Title. Two of them are no strangers to competing for the Pride gold, but neither has managed to win it yet. The third one has never had a title match for the title, but that is just a question about time. Suddenly a cellphone rings. This is awkard. It continues to ring, as the person who's holding it seemingly doesn't want to reveal himself. But at last Drake pulls off a phone from his pants and says sorry to Renee, as he knows it is pretty unprofessional to have your phone ring on live tv, but it's probably very important, as that ringtone is a special one, only ringing if it is the chairman himself that rings. He answers. And you can quickly see on Drake's facial expression and his replies that the news he just got from the other end is not of the good kind. He replies with a series of Ok's before hanging up, and without saying or explaining anything he quickly runs backstage. Renee stands back with a curious expression on her face, but then we cut to a camera backstage and follow Younger as he runs down the hallway. In the end of the hallway we can see a group of people gathered around someone on the floor. As Drake reaches the group, they move a bit, making way for him. We can now see who it is laying down on the floor. It's The Pride Champion; Lars Sullivan. He is out cold. Who did this? And where is The Pride Title belt? Drake screams for someone to fetch a doctor or some medical crew while trying to get check on Lars the best he can himself. We cut back to the arena where the commentators are discussing the current events, wonderig who could have done it. Could any of the three men in the upcoming match have done it to easy his chances to beat Lars on a later point? Guess it will be only speculations at this point. The commentators promise that they will keep the viewers informed if there is any updates regarding the attack or the attacker.

Triple Threat Matchup
Will Ospreay Vs WALTER vs Pete Dunne

Should be an interesting feud for sure and wonder what happened to Lars. Solid match in this one which could be a 5 star match. All men look good. High flying, hard hitting, chops and powerful moves. Walter with a hard chop and powerbomb while Dunne breaks the fingers. Will with a 630 and twisting spinning neck breaker but at the end of the match Walter is looking for a powerbomb off the top rope to Dunne who fights it off. Will springboard onto the both of them but on top of Dunne’s shoulders. DUNNE NAILS A RANA OFF THE TOP TO WALTER AS WILL NAILS A REVERSED RANA DRIVER TO DUNNE WOW!. Never seen that one before...Will covers Dunne 1 2 3!. Huge win by Will and Walter is pissed. He didn’t get pinned but he’s angry.

After the match, whoever wins it. WALTER goes apeshit in the ring, beating down both Will and Pete with stiff chops and hard impact throws. It turns bowling shoe ugly quick as neither Will or Pete are able to defend themselves at a point, but WALTER keeps on with the beating. The audience booooo's, but that only trigger's WALTER more. He feed's on the heat from the fans in the arena. He lifts up both men, one in each arm and are about to knock their heads together when music cranks the arena speakers. The audience cheers as Shinsuke Nakamura makes his way down the rampway with great speed and slides into the ring. WALTER has released his grip on Will and Pete, now focusing on the man that just entered the ring. Will and Pete slowly makes their bruised bodies to safety, leaving the scene to The King Of Strongstyle. WALTER and Nakamura has a stare down in the middle of the ring before WALTER charges with a right hand, but Nakamura reverses and delivers a chop of his own to WALTER. And another one, and another one, and another one. The audience counts 1...2...3....4....5....6...7....8....9.....but as Nakamura is about to deliver the 10th chop WALTER has had enough. He grabs Nakamura's arm and irishwhips him into the corner, he follows and charges for an attack but Nakamura is fast and gets our of harms way. Nakamura goes for the ropes and deliver a devastating neckbreak-type manouver to WALTER. The fans starts to chant his name as he sits up in the middle of the ring, smiling. WALTER decides he doesn't wanna play anymore today so he wisely gets out of the ring and makes his way up the ramp. The two men catches eyes again as Nakamura gets back up on his feet in the ring and WALTER reaches the stage. This is surely not the last time these two will make aquintances, but it's probably the first...

Singles Matchup
" Hangman " Adam Page Vs " The Villain " Marty Scurll

Very unique match Nakamura/Walter. A great match here which goes near 20 minutes. Rumors that this one might happen at the ppv but there’s so many already it probably would have room. Page who is now popular beats down Marty. Scurll has been kind of irrelevant recently and has slowly begun taking control of the Elite from within. Scurll said a no loss must happen. Page with a Hangman noose and Lariat for 2’s. Marty nails two Enterprises after that for the 1 2 3!. Page’s revenge failed.

Whoever wins the match, the rest of The Elite makes their way into the ring after the match and there is a 5-on-1 beatdown! Even Brandi is giving some punches. Page is defenceless, beaten down to a bloody pulp in one of the corners as Cody and the others in The Elite are taking in the heat from the audience. But suddenly their boooo's turns to cheers, and it takes a while for the members of The Elite to understand this sudden turn of events, but then they realize what the source is. Adam Page has " friends " in peculiar places, because down the rampway comes Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish running with The Ornate Prime and NWA Champion: Adam Cole right behind. They all stop at ringside where they get eye contact with the guys in the ring. Nobody does anything. Nobody tries to leave the ring, but neither member Undisputed Era tries to enter the ring either. Then Adam Cole makes a waving gesture, like he signalizes something. Then, the audience once again are alive as a fourth person walks out on the stage. It's Roderick Strong! The last member of The Undisputed Era. It's almost a year since we last saw him. He's been dealing with injuries but are now cleared it seems. And everyone manage to keep it a secret. He gets one of the biggest pops of the nights as he makes his way down the ramp and join his fellow team members. The four male members of The Elite are staring down at them from the ring, ready for any movement. Then, the lights suddenly goes out, and it stay turned of for quite a little while. Then, in the pitch dark arena, in the middle of the ring, suddenly hundreds of small lights starts to flicker, in a variety of different colors. The audience are making noise, some of the fans already understand what they are watching, but within a second the whole arena knows. Because as the lights suddenly comes back on we all see the source of the flickering lights. The Jacket of Chris Jericho!!! This is a mark out moment for sure. He gets the biggest pop of the night for sure. Jericho has reunited with the others in The Elite, and now it's no more fun and games. Brandi wisely leaves the ring to the guys as the member of The Undisputed Era slides into the ring and within a second it has turned into a brawl. It's hands and feet everywhere and completely chaos. These two factions have quite a history. It might seem like the feud has re-kindled. The brawl goes on for some time, but then suddenly, once again the lights goes out. We can easily hear the commotion in the ring, as it continues still even as it's pitch dark. But then it calms down, it's like they stopped to fight all together. Or? The lights gets back on after a couple of more seconds, but nobody was expecting to see what they now see. All men are literally out cold. Some inside the ring, some outside. Some even on the other side of the barricade. What the fuck just happened? Then, the titantron starts to flicker and distorted images appears, then more distortion, and the screen goes black, distortion, screen flickers up and down before it finally settles and we can make out three letters; UVS. Camera cut's and we go to commercial break.

Tag Team Matchup
World's Greatest Tag Team (Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas) Vs Doin' It For Her (Seth Rollins & Jimmy Jacobs)

Era/Elite feud would be cool. No idea who UVS are though something new. Another great match in this one which goes 15 minutes. Another one we thought was gonna happen at the ppv but we get it here instead. We’re still not sure if both of these teams are back or just for a while. Both are good and we need more teams. Big double bumps and spots. Rollins wasn’t happy with the ladder match saying he wished he did more. Same with Jacobs who nails a slicebread number 2 to Haas. Not many people from the ppv are in this show for obvious reasons after how crazy it was they deserve a rest. T Bone and a Syracuse Set Up Twister by Benjamin for 2’s. Rollins nails a stomp on Haas as Benjamin takes out Rollins. Jacobs rolls Benjamin up for 2 who reverses with the T Bone for a 3 count.

We see a segment where we get to see some parts of a upcoming documentary made by EAM. It's about the womens division and how women have made their impact on the sport. We see short clips of interviews with the likes of Lufisto, Sara Del Rey and Melina, who where amoungst the first women on the EAM roster, and how they remember they time in EAM and what they think of the future of womens wrestling etc. We then get to see short highlights from the storied career of Mickie James in EAM, and we get to hear she say that she has great hopes for the future of the womens division in EAM. We then get to see a small commercial, hyping up the new TV show; Spotlight, who will be a tv show just for the girls in the promotion. We even get teased about something that might look like a all girls only PPV as we see a promotional poster with the event name " No Boys Allowed " We then cut back to the arena, where we hook up with Alexa Bliss and Leah Von Dutch backstage. Bliss is upset because they where screwed out of the tag team match last night, losing the opportunity to become the first ever womens tag team champions. Leah tries to calm Alexa down, but it doesn't really help much. Leah then says she wishes it was another way to the top. She's been working her ass for since she arrived her, but not getting much recognition for her work. Alexa have at least got title matches. Alexa suddenly goes mysteriously silent, and Leah wonders what's on Alexa's mind. Leah wondered if there was another way to the top? Alexa might just know of one. She leans over to Leah and whispers something in her ear. The last thing we get to see or hear before we cut to ringside for tonights main event are Leah's reaction to what Alexa whispered.

Leah: Are you serious??

Cage Matchup For The Vacant Running Mates Championship
Tommaso Ciampa Vs Moose

Oh good idea documentary’s /movies/reality shows etc good way of growing Eam. Maybe even a network in the future with all the promotions that eam own. Solid main event and it feels like these two have been trapped in a feud for months. Pretty standard cage match with uses of the side of it. Moose drop kicks Ciampa into the cage. Project Ciampa for a close 2. Rolling spear for another 2. Military press thrown into the wall by Moose as he begins to climb?. Moose is on the top of the cage...AAAAH MOOSE CROSSBODY OFF THE TOP MISSES IT. CIAMPA COVERS 1 2 MOOSE KICKS OUT SOMEHOW. Ciampa now climbs to the top looking for a dive but Moose gets up in time and climbs the cage with him, both men are fighting it out on the top of the cage this is dangerous. Moose picks Ciampa up high in the air with a military press are you kidding me!. Ciampa reverses just in time. Ciampa then picks up Moose and tucks his neck under his arm...NO...NO WAY...WAAAH AIR RAID CRASH OFF THE TOP OF THE CAGE FFS. CIAMPA COVERS MOOSE 1 2 3 DONE!. The fans are going crazy and this isn’t even Grandslam.

As the show is coming to an end, the lights in the arena flickers for some seconds, then suddenly goes out. Then the titantron starts to flicker. First only distortion. No picture at all. Then, suddenly. Flashy images appear on the titantron, each image only appears for like half a second. Thumbtacks scattered out, panes of glass breaking under the impact of a body. Blood dripping barb wire, syringes and a baptism basin filled with blood. The images suddenly disappears, leaving only blackness left on the tron. Then, one last flash, but this keeps a while longer on the tron before it's gone. We can easily read out the blood dripping letters as they spell out UVS. Then camera cuts.....

Hmm very strange. So much is going on. Only thing I can think of is that UV stands for Ultraviolent and the S possibly Society.
