A Special 3-Hour TV Spectacular!
Live from Bank of Springfield Center, Springfield/Illinois
This weekend, it's all really about the Pride roster, but for once, EAM Promotions thought, maybe the main roster should be the warm-up for once. So, to heat things further up, and to get people excited and ready for the Pride brand's third ever ppv, EAM presents to you, their second ever Saturday Night Showcase. And this time from Springfield, as we are in Illinois for this extravagant weekend. Tonights show have 5 actionpacked matches, where four of them are title matches!
The Harem has taken over the womens roster as of late, holding all three titles of the brand. Piper Niven and Session Moth Martina has proven themselves as a tag team is shall be hard to defeat, but there is still many left that wants a shot. Tonight they will have to defend their straps against crowd favorites Tessa Blanchard and Toni Storm, who ever since they teamed up has been destined for those straps. Can they win them tonight, or will Piper and Martina prove to be one task to hard to solve for the two of them? Penelope Ford, also of The Harem will be defending her title tonight, against the woman that introduced the title to the world in the first place. Maria is hellbent on getting her title back, saying she never really approve any other champions than herself. So all other women holding that belt are just fake puppets. Will Penelope show Maria how fake a puppet she really is? Or can she shut Maria's mouth once and for all? Nia Jax might have lost her title to Alexa, but she was never pinned, and she swears to get back at Alexa at the first opportunity, but tonight she has The Intergender Tag Titles to concern about, as the new so-called powercouple of EAM has been granted a shot at the titles. Did this shot come as a lucky shooting star for Charlotte. Could she possibly have faced Nia Jax on a more sorer time? Or will Jax together with The Ornate Prime Champion, Keith Lee prove once again that they are on the top of the pecking order in this company? At the first ever Saturday Night Showcase, The Golden Lover defended their titles against The Lucha Bros. Tonight the tables have been turned, as tonight, it's The Lucha Bros who defend the titles against The Golden Lovers. Much history between them, and so much prestige.
And, tonights main event is a very special one, as The members of The Dynasty (who are on Jamboree) will face off against The members of The Imperiu.......what the?? What is going on?!?!?
We see a camera cut's to a person running to a car in the parking lot. He's clinging to a title belt. It's the TV Title. MJF are leaving! But he has a match tonight! This is outrageous! We cut to the show's vignette.
Lot happening and going on. Good build.

The Primetime Bitch Championship Matchup
Penelope Ford (c) Vs Maria Kanellis
Maria comes out as the bell rings for our second title match of the evening. Both these girls aren’t popular with the fans remember. The bell rings but wait...MIKE FROM IN THE CROWD BEHIND TRIPS FORD UP. MARIA TAKES DOWN FORD. Maria continues to dominate Ford all over the ring and this is our second title match of the show and defence for the Harem. Mike was actually useful. Ford soon comes with a Bronco Buster and an Ford Fiesta for the 3 count and win. After the match Ford slams Mike down as well for good measure leaving them both in the ring finally shut up at least for now.
EAM Intergender Tag Team Titles Matchup
Keith Lee & Nia Jax (c) Vs Andrade & Charlotte Flair
Everyone comes out getting mixed reactions with Lee really being the only fan favorite in this match. Both teams look good and Charlotte tries to handle Jax and they have history of course. Andrade tries to work down Lee but can’t as he lays him out with a spirit bomb for a 2 count. This continues on for some minutes with Charlotte hitting chops on Jax but comes back and she is still pissed and upset after losing the title. Screaming at fans throughout this. Maybe Lee helped her through it who knows and consoled her. Charlotte and Andrade actually get momentum...WAIT A MINUTE....THAT’S BECKY LYNCH AND SETH ROLLINS. THEY RUN INTO THE RING AND BEAT DOWN EVERYONE. Some fans are cheering and booing. They’ve just ruined this match. It’s been ruled a no contest. Rollins grabs the mic and starts shooting saying how the fuck did Charlotte and Andrade get the title match when we won the 6 tag!!. This is bullshit!. We know the boss of this company is against us and we won’t stand for it anymore!. You take away my wife’s title opportunity. You do nothing with me for months when I’m the best in the world!?. Screw you!. Wow what a statement by Rollins and Becky!. They stand over everyone holding the Mixed Tag titles high and damn it hasn’t been a good month for Jax.
EAM Tag Team Championships Matchup
The Lucha Bros (c) w/Salina Vs The Golden Lovers (Kenny Omega & Kota Ibushi)
Our penultimate match on the show. 30 minutes long. An awesome tag match between both teams. Lot of good high flying action, big bumps, signature and finishing moves from everyone involved. Salina helps throughout the match. Omega and Kota come back with good signature moves. Kota with a Phoenix Splash while Omega nails an Omega Driver and a Croyt’s Wrath. OMEGA IS LOOKING FOR THE ANGEL...NO BROS FIGHT BACK. Fenix splash and a Packaged Piledriver onto Ibushi...1...2...3...done!. Bros celebrate their win but not before Bucks walk out onto the apron and point at Bros while Lovers also point at the belts wow could you imagine!.

Back and forth action, high flying, signature, finishing moves throughout this. Very hard to pick a winner for sure. WALTER WITH A WALTER BOMB FOR A 3 COUNT ON EC3!. One elimination. They all beatdown WALTER who has a title match remember. Dynasty work together beating Imperium as they take out Marcel with an UPSIDE DOWN SUPLEX BY GINO...1...2...3...MARCEL IS ELIMINATED!.

Gino is the last man standing with MJF cheering him on giving order. Two on one here. Now look at this a face off between Gino and WALTER awesome!. Back and forth with WALTER looking the best...WAIT A MINUTE THAT’S KILLER KROSS. HE JUST RAN INTO THIS MATCH AND IS ATTACKING WALTER. HE THROWS WALTER OUT THE RING AND THEY START FIGHTING THROUGHOUT THE CROWD. The referee is counting and that’s it!. Walter has been counted out but that’s not fair at all and some fans boo. Kross made himself known and ruined this match for Imperium. Gino is left in the ring as Wolfe is the only guy left. The referee is still focused on WALTER/Kross in the crowd...AS WAIT....MJF COMES IN FROM BEHIND. WOLFE HAS NO IDEA. GINO IS STILL LAID OUT. MJF WITH A FRIEDMAN FALL ASSAULT DRIVER....A one on one as MJF barks orders at Gino to get up. Gino gets up and takes Wolfe down with the Upside Down suplex...1...2...3...it’s over!. The Dynasty have won this match!. Maybe a shocker as well. Gino is the last man standing!. MJF holds Gino’s hand high as we cut away.
