First Time Ever!
#1 Contenders Matchup for The EAM Title
Will Ospreay Vs Prince Devitt

The atmosphere inside the arena is purely electric, a palpable tension formatting the historic nature of this encounter. The referee calls for the bell, and both men stand perfectly still, letting the deafening dueling chants wash over them. Will Ospreay, "The Aerial Assassin," locking eyes with the cold, calculating "Real Rock 'n' Rolla" Prince Devitt. This isn't just a number one contenders matchup; it is a battle for the very soul of modern wrestling work rate.

The match starts at a blistering, breathless pace. They exchange lightning-fast chain wrestling sequences, shifting from waist-locks to wrist-locks with immaculate precision. Ospreay goes for a sudden standing shooting star press, but Devitt instantly rolls out of the way, mapping out a brutal dropkick that sends Ospreay sprawling to the outside. Devitt doesn't hesitate, hitting the ropes and launching himself over the top with a beautiful, high-flying flipping plancha that wipes out Ospreay on the floor.

Devitt rolls Ospreay back inside, systematically breaking him down with a series of stiff European uppercuts and a vicious brainbuster for a razor-close two-count. Devitt works a tight chin-lock, cutting off Ospreay’s breath, but the crowd rallies Ospreay back to his feet. Ospreay fights out with elbows to the ribs, hits the ropes, and counters a charging Devitt with a spectacular handspring backflip into a devastating overhead kick. Both men are down as the crowd roars.

Ospreay gets up first, fired up. He unleashes a flurry of rapid-fire strikes, capping it off with a dynamic Pippipistrano off the second rope. He drags Devitt to the center, hits a thunderous OsCutter, but Devitt somehow kicks out at two and nine-tenths! Ospreay scales the turnbuckle, looking for the definitive Hidden Blade, but Devitt ducks the swinging elbow. Devitt reacts instantly, catching Ospreay with a brutal overhead kick of his own, followed by a devastating Bloody Sunday. Devitt covers—1... 2... No! Ospreay gets a shoulder up just in the nick of time.

The fighting spirit takes over as both men trade thunderous forearms in the dead center of the ring. Every strike echoes like a gunshot. Devitt hits a sudden, inverted ring post slingblade, sending Ospreay dazed into the corner. Devitt hits a running dropkick that smashes Ospreay’s head directly into the turnbuckle padding. Sensing victory, Devitt scales the ropes, standing tall before executing a ruthless Coup de Grâce double foot stomp right onto Ospreay's chest. The referee slides into place: 1... 2... Ospreay violently kicks out, executing a definitive kick-out that shocks Devitt to his core.

Devitt looks to finish it, dragging Ospreay up for a second Bloody Sunday. But Ospreay, showcasing his elite survival instincts, counters mid-lift into a breathtaking stunner. Devitt stumbles back, completely disoriented. Ospreay fires up, hitting the ropes and blasting Devitt right in the back of the neck with a hidden, high-impact Hidden Blade. Devitt is out on his feet but stays upright. Ospreay hooks the arms, hoists him high into the heavens, and plants him firmly into the canvas with a devastating Storm Breaker. He rolls over, hooks the leg tightly, and the referee counts the definitive 1... 2... 3! A five-star masterclass closes in absolute triumph.

Winner: Will Ospreay

Tag Team Matchup
Jack Vaughn & Donovan Cecil Vs Eli Drake & Logan Paul

After a month of chaotic delays and explosive physical altercations, Jack Vaughn and Donovan Cecil finally make their official tag team debut against The Algorithm (Eli Drake and Logan Paul). The moment the bell rings, Vaughn throws all technical wrestling out the window, charging across the ring to pummel Eli Drake into the corner turnbuckles with raw, unbridled fury. Cecil tags in, using his immense power to hit a double-handed chokeslam on Logan Paul, establishing total dominance early on.

The Algorithm is completely reeling, unable to cope with the sheer physical aggression of their debuting opponents. Vaughn tags back in, dropping Logan Paul with a thunderous spinebuster. He sets up for his definitive slam, but Eli Drake displays his classic veteran awareness, pulling the referee into the ropes to create a tactical distraction. This allows Paul to sneakily rake Vaughn’s eyes, shifting the momentum.

Paul and Drake begin isolating Vaughn, utilizing rapid tags and arrogant double-team maneuvers. Logan Paul mocks the crowd, hitting a buckshot lariat for a close two-count. Vaughn fights back with immense heart, turning Logan inside out with a desperation clothesline and making the hot tag to Donovan Cecil. Cecil clears house, hitting a massive fallaway slam on Drake and throwing Paul across the ring like a ragdoll.

The match breaks down into a chaotic four-way brawl, spilling both inside and outside the ring. Just as Cecil looks to put Eli Drake away, Aaron Stevens suddenly emerges from the back, sliding down the ramp out of the referee's line of sight. Stevens grabs Cecil’s leg from the outside, forcefully tripping him up and sending his face crashing brutally into the steel ring post.

Inside the ring, Jack Vaughn realizes his partner is incapacitated and tries to take on both members of The Algorithm himself. Suddenly, Orange Cassidy slides under the bottom rope on the opposite side. While the referee is completely occupied trying to get Stevens away from Cecil, Cassidy hits a lightning-fast, devastating Orange Punch straight to Vaughn’s jaw.

Vaughn stumbles back, completely dazed from the illegal strike. Eli Drake quickly capitalizes, executing the Gravy Train right in the center of the ring. Instead of making the cover himself, Drake tags in Logan Paul. Paul scales the top rope, flashing a cocky grin to the camera before landing a breathtaking, high-impact Frog Splash directly onto a broken Jack Vaughn. Paul hooks the leg securely as the referee counts the 1... 2... 3, stealing the win through absolute faction alignment.

Winners: Eli Drake & Logan Paul

8-Women Tag Team Elimination Matchup
Raquel Rodriguez & Stephanie Vaquer Vs Deonna Purrazzo & Tessa Blanchard
Vs Natalya Neidhart & Nikkita Lyons Vs Tha Braid & Tha Boss (Bianca Belair & Sasha Banks)

The stakes are astronomically high as four elite duos occupy the corners for this chaotic elimination match. The rules are simple: when a superstar is pinned or submits, their entire tag team is eliminated.

The match starts with instant fireworks as Stephanie Vaquer and Sasha Banks engage in a beautiful, high-speed technical exchange. However, the dominant narrative quickly shifts to the massive internal dysfunction brewing between Deonna Purrazzo and Tessa Blanchard. Deonna tags herself in aggressively, stepping right into Tessa’s face, screaming that she is the true ring general of the team. Tessa responds with a forceful shove, and their loud verbal altercation distracts the referee completely.

First Elimination: Sensing a golden opportunity, Nikkita Lyons blind-tags herself into the match. She blindsides the arguing Deonna Purrazzo, executing a spinning heel kick followed by a massive split-legged leg drop. Lyons covers a dazed Purrazzo while Tessa Blanchard simply stands on the apron, crossing her arms and refusing to break up the pin. The referee counts the three, instantly eliminating Purrazzo and Blanchard from the contest.

With three teams remaining, the physical toll escalates. Raquel Rodriguez tags in, looking to assert her physical dominance. Strangely, Raquel seems deeply distracted, constantly looking toward the entrance stage as if anticipating another eerie, supernatural interruption like the ticking clock phenomenon from her previous match. Her uncharacteristic hesitation proves costly.

Second Elimination: Natalya capitalizes on Raquel’s lack of focus, locking her in a sudden roll-up. Stephanie Vaquer rushes in to save her partner, but Bianca Belair intercepts her with a devastating spear. Natalya bridges the roll-up perfectly, pinning a distracted Raquel Rodriguez flat on her shoulders for the three-count. Raquel and Vaquer are officially eliminated.

The match enters its final, thrilling stage: Natalya and Nikkita Lyons vs. Tha Braid & Tha Boss. The crowd is completely unglued as the final four women engage in a breathless war of attrition. Lyons attempts a spinning kick on Belair, but "The EST" showcases her terrifying power, catching Lyons mid-air and executing a thunderous spinebuster.

Natalya tags in, running over Belair with a discus clothesline. She immediately looks to apply the legendary Sharpshooter, pulling Belair’s legs into position dead in the center of the ring. Bianca screams in pain, fighting with everything she has to reach the ropes, but Natalya pulls her back.

Sasha Banks showcases her incredible veteran awareness, scaling the turnbuckle and executing a brilliant, high-flying meteora that breaks the submission hold just in time. Nikkita Lyons rushes into the ring to attack Banks, but Sasha counters beautifully, throwing Lyons over the top rope onto the floor below.

Inside the ring, a battered Natalya slowly pushes herself back up onto her feet. Bianca Belair finds her second wind, fueled by the roaring crowd. Belair ducks a clothesline from Natalya, hooks her arms securely, and shifts her weight to lift the veteran high above her shoulders. With absolute authority, Belair executes a devastating, match-ending K.O.D. (Kiss of Death). Sasha Banks quickly drops down to hold Lyons back on the outside, preventing any hope of a breakup. Belair hooks Natalya's leg firmly as the referee slides into position, counting the definitive 1... 2... 3! Tha Braid & Tha Boss survive the absolute anarchy to stand victorious.

Winners: Tha Braid & Tha Boss (Bianca Belair & Sasha Banks)

Pick Your Poison Matchup For The EAM Primetime Bitch Championship
Lash Legend (c) Vs Kris Statlander

The EAM Primetime Bitch Champion, Lash Legend, stands in the center of the ring, the gleaming title draped confidently over her shoulder. She demands a microphone, soaking in the thunderous boos from the arena before delivering a scathing, high-energy declaration.

"Look at me! I am the blueprint, the benchmark, and the undisputed face of this entire division. Week after week, I sit on my throne because nobody back there has the guts, the talent, or the star power to dethrone a queen. So, I am throwing out a challenge right now. Whoever is brave enough to step through that curtain, come out here and take your poison!"

She drops the microphone, smirking as she stares at the entrance ramp. The crowd waits in breathless anticipation. Suddenly, the lights shift, and the powerhouse theme of Kris Statlander cranks through the arena speakers. The crowd explodes into a massive ovation as "The Galaxy's Greatest Alien" steps out, focused and ready for war. Lash's smirk instantly vanishes, replaced by a tense, calculating glare.

The bell rings, and the match is an absolute physical war from the opening second. Statlander doesn't back down from the champion’s size, matching Lash’s power blow-for-blow. They trade thunderous shoulder tackles in the center of the ring until Statlander gains the upper hand, leveling Lash with a running dropkick that sends the champion scrambling to the outside. Kris follows up immediately, launching herself over the top rope with a spectacular flipping plancha that wipes out Legend on the floor.

Back inside the ring, Lash showcases her elite athleticism. She counters a suplex attempt, dropping Statlander neck-first across the top rope. Lash takes total control, punishing Kris with a series of brutal, high-angle backbreakers and a dynamic, running pump kick that yields a razor-close two-count. Lash locks in a grueling camel clutch, but Statlander fights through the agony, using the roaring crowd to power back to her feet.

The final minutes turn into a breathtaking, back-and-forth epic. Statlander fires back with a barrage of stiff forearms, hitting the ropes to counter a charging Lash into a thunderous Blue Thunder Bomb for an incredibly close near-fall. Statlander scales the turnbuckle, executing a soaring frog splash, but Lash somehow gets a shoulder up at two and nine-tenths.

Frustrated, Statlander sets up for the Friday Night Death Valley Driver. However, Lash displays her champion's instincts. She rakes the eyes out of the referee's line of sight, breaking the hold. As a blinded Statlander stumbles backward, Lash hits the ropes and delivers a devastating, bone-shattering Chokeslam right into the canvas. Lash hooks the leg tightly, securing the three-count to narrowly retain her championship.

Winner: Lash Legend

8-Man Tag Team Elimination Matchup
Claudio " Cesaro " Castagnoli & Chad Gable Vs Jay White & Adam Cole
Vs reDragon (Kyle O' Reilly & Bobby Fish) Vs Hardy Boyz

The ring is absolutely packed with world-class talent as four elite duos occupy the corners for this high-stakes elimination war. The rules dictate that when a superstar is pinned or submits, their entire tag team is eliminated from the contest.

The match starts at a breathless pace, with reDragon utilizing their hyper-disciplined, martial arts-infused tag team chemistry to ground Matt Hardy. Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish systematically pick Matt apart, utilizing rapid tags and stiff kick combinations to isolate him from his brother.

Realizing they need a change of pace, Bobby Fish attempts a sweeping leg kick on Chad Gable, who blind-tags himself into the action. Gable enters like a house on fire, showcasing his elite Olympic background by executing a flurry of overhead belly-to-belly suplexes on both members of reDragon. He tags in the powerhouse, Claudio Castagnoli.

First Elimination: Claudio hits the ring like a freight train, flattening O'Reilly with a European uppercut before grabbing Bobby Fish for a spectacular, dizzying twenty-rotation Giant Swing. As Fish stumbles to his feet completely disoriented, Gable tags back in and perfectly executes a bridging German suplex, while Claudio intercepts an encroaching O'Reilly with a Swiss Death Uppercut. Gable holds the bridge securely, pinning Fish to eliminate reDragon.

With three teams remaining, the physical toll escalates dramatically. Claudio and Gable try to maintain their momentum, but the legendary Hardy Boyz capitalize on a rare miscommunication.

Second Elimination: Matt Hardy blindsides Claudio on the outside, sending him crashing into the steel steps. Inside the ring, Chad Gable fights valiantly against Jeff Hardy, hitting a beautiful moonsault for a close two-count. Gable looks for an ankle lock, but Matt slides back in, dropping Gable with a sudden Twist of Fate. Jeff immediately ascends the turnbuckle, standing tall before unleashing a flawless Swanton Bomb onto Gable. Jeff hooks the leg, eliminating the powerhouse duo of Claudio and Gable.

The match enters its final, ultimate stage: The Hardy Boyz vs. Jay White and Adam Cole. The arena is completely unglued as the final four men take the match to the absolute extreme. The action spills wildly onto the floor, with Matt Hardy slamming Adam Cole through the timekeeper's table, while Jay White drives Jeff Hardy back-first into the ring post.

Back inside the ring, the veteran brothers look to finish the match. Matt hits a second Twist of Fate on Jay White. Jeff scales the top rope once again, looking to seal the victory with another Swanton Bomb. However, Adam Cole recovers just in time, forcefully shoving Jeff off the turnbuckle and causing him to crash brutally onto the ring apron.

Matt rushes to avenge his brother, charging at Cole. But "The Switchblade" Jay White showcases his sinister genius, utilizing the distraction to slip behind Matt. White hits a low blow out of the referee's vision, completely crippling Matt's momentum. As Matt stumbles forward in agony, Adam Cole lowers his kneepad and delivers a ferocious Boom knee strike to the back of Matt's head. White quickly follows up, planting Matt firmly into the canvas with a neck-snapping Blade Runner. White covers Matt while Cole forcefully holds Jeff back on the outside, securing the hard-fought, extreme victory for his team.

Winners: Jay White & Adam Cole

Singles Matchup
Kenny Omega Vs Mystery Opponent

The lights in the arena dim to a deep, dramatic purple. Inside the ring, Kenny Omega stands focused, adjusting his wrist tape, awaiting the arrival of his mystery opponent. Suddenly, a familiar, sultry baseline accompanied by a theatrical, operatic crescendo cranks through the arena speakers. The crowd gasps, and then a collective roar shakes the foundations of the building.

It’s a theme that hasn't been heard in EAM for years.

Stepping through the curtain, draped in an extravagant, glittering purple velvet robe, is none other than Velveteen Dream. A look of sheer, unadulterated shock washes across Kenny Omega’s face. His eyes widen as the painful memories come rushing back. The last time these two stood across from each other was years ago on the grandest stage of them all, Fight for Glory. Omega was the dominant EAM Champion back then, entering the night with absolute confidence, but Velveteen Dream managed to shock the world, pinned him, and took the title. Tonight, there is no gold on the line. This is purely about pride, closure, and a desperate need for redemption for "The Cleaner."

The bell rings, and the psychological warfare begins instantly. Dream drops his robe, soaking in the mixed, electric reaction from the crowd, flashing a cocky, familiar smirk at Omega. Kenny doesn't wait. Fueled by years of lingering resentment, Omega charges across the ring, leveling Dream with a thunderous running forearm smash. Kenny unleashes a flurry of blistering chest chops in the corner, each strike echoing like a gunshot through the arena.

Dream, showing he hasn't lost a step during his prolonged absence, quickly answers back. He counters a snap dragon suplex, utilizing a fluid matrix evasion before catching Omega with a sharp, high-angle dropkick. Dream takes control, mocking Omega’s signature mannerisms before executing a beautiful, swinging neckbreaker for a close two-count.

The match shifts into a breathless, high-stakes epic. Dream targets Omega's neck, dropping him brutally across the top rope and following up with a diving axe handle off the turnbuckle to the outside floor. Back inside, Dream hits a textbook spinebuster right out of mid-air as Kenny attempts a springboard attack. Sensing history repeating itself, Dream ascends the turnbuckle, standing tall before executing his signature Purple Rainmaker diving elbow drop. The referee slides into position: 1... 2... No! Omega powerfully kicks out at two and eight-tenths, refusing to let his ghost defeat him again.

The fighting spirit takes over as both men stagger to their feet, trading heavy, exhausting forearms in the center of the ring. Dream throws a superkick, but Omega catches the boot, spinning Dream around to execute a ferocious, snap dragon suplex. Dream stumbles up, only to be turned inside out by a second snap dragon suplex. The crowd is completely unglued.

Omega smells blood in the water. He points a finger at his dazed opponent, hits the ropes, and delivers a bone-shattering V-Trigger knee strike directly to the jaw. Dream is out on his feet. Omega hoists him up onto his shoulders, looking to put the past to bed once and for all. Dream frantically scratches and claws, trying to counter into a DDT just like he did years ago at Fight for Glory, but Omega anticipates it. Kenny shifts his weight, firmly holding onto his opponent. With absolute authority, Omega plants Velveteen Dream squarely into the canvas with a devastating One-Winged Angel. He rolls over, hooks the leg tightly, and the referee counts the definitive 1... 2... 3!

Winner: Kenny Omega

Tag Team Matchup
Skye Blue & Julia Hart Vs Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair

The dark, enigmatic pairing of Skye Blue and Julia Hart enter the ring radiating a cold, collective focus, standing across from the powerhouse alliance of Alexa Bliss and "The Queen" Charlotte Flair. The match begins with high-octane technical wrestling, as Julia Hart uses her aggressive, submission-based style to ground Alexa Bliss, targeting her arm with stiff wrist-locks.

Charlotte Flair tags in, shifting the power dynamic instantly. The Queen levels Julia with a thunderous chop, followed by a vertical suplex that shakes the ring. Flair and Bliss showcase immaculate tag team synergy, utilizing rapid tags to isolate Julia in their corner. Bliss hits a beautiful insult-to-injury double knee drop for a close two-count, keeping the pressure firmly on the dark star.

Halfway through the matchup, the narrative takes a dramatic turn. Julia Hart manages to fight out of the heel corner, dodging a charging big boot from Charlotte. However, Charlotte recovers instantly, grabbing Julia from behind and setting her up for a devastating, high-angle German suplex right in the center of the ring.

Seeing her partner in deep trouble, Skye Blue tries to make a desperate save. She blind-tags herself in and rushes into the ring just as Alexa Bliss slides in to intercept. In the fast-paced, chaotic melee, Skye fires off a lightning-fast superkick intended for Charlotte.

But it backfires completely.

Charlotte masterfully shoves Julia directly into the line of fire. Skye's superkick connects flush with the jaw of her own partner, Julia Hart. Julia collapses to the mat, completely dazed and betrayed by the accidental contact. Skye stands frozen in absolute horror at what she has just done.

Capitalizing on the utter heartbreak and confusion, Charlotte Flair blasts the distracted Skye Blue with a devastating, bone-shattering spear. Charlotte quickly transitions, locking Skye into the agonizing Figure-Eight Leglock dead in the center of the ring. Simultaneously, Alexa Bliss hits a perfectly timed Twisted Bliss off the top rope onto an encroaching Julia on the outside floor, ensuring no interference. Trapped in the submission with nowhere to go, Skye Blue has no choice but to tap out.

Winners: Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair

As the referee raises the hands of Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, a severely frustrated and battered Julia Hart pushes herself up using the ring ropes. She glares at Skye Blue, her eyes burning with pure resentment. Skye tries to step closer, hands raised in an apologetic gesture, desperately trying to explain that it was a total accident.

Julia isn't having any of it. She violently slaps Skye's comforting hand away, stepping right into her face. The arena fills with the sound of their intense verbal argument. Julia yells that Skye cost them everything and proved she couldn't be trusted. Skye finally snaps back, refusing to be bullied for a mistake. They do not throw physical punches, but the venomous words exchanged set a definitive, inescapable war in motion. Julia points a menacing finger at Skye, declaring that this finishes at Fight for Glory on Night Two, leaving their dark alliance shattered on the canvas.

Triple Threat Matchup for The Ornate Prime Championship
WALTER (c) Vs Hook Vs Rex Steiner

The atmosphere inside the arena is thick with tension as three of the most physically imposing and intensely competitive athletes in the industry stand face-to-face. The ring announcer introduces the challengers first. Rex Steiner paces the ring like an unhinged powerhouse, his muscles taut and eyes locked onto the gold. Then comes Hook, radiating a cold, lethal confidence. Finally, the ominous, classical symphony echoes through the arena as the reigning and defending champion, "The Ring General" WALTER, walks down the ramp, the prestigious Ornate Prime Championship draped heavily over his shoulder.

Before the referee can raise the title to signal the start of the match, Hook steps forward into the center of the ring. With a deliberate, icy smirk, he reaches down and points to the EAM Television Championship strapped around his waist.

The crowd erupts into cheers, instantly remembering the historic night at Jamboree where Hook shocked the world by taking the EAM Television Title from Walter. Hook demands a microphone from the ringside technician. He keeps his gaze locked entirely on the giant champion.

"Hey, WALTER," Hook’s voice is calm, cutting through the noise of the arena. "You remember this belt? This used to be yours until I took it from you at Jamboree. And tonight, history repeats itself. I’m not just leaving here with my title—I'm taking that Ornate Prime Championship from you, too."

Hook drops the microphone, but before it can even hit the canvas, WALTER explodes with pure rage. A thunderous, echoing chop to the chest instantly collapses Hook to the mat. The crowd gasps at the sheer velocity of the strike. Rex Steiner seizes the immediate opening, charging across the ring to tackle WALTER into the turnbuckles, and this high-stakes triple threat matchup is officially underway.


With Hook temporarily incapacitated on the mat from that initial, blistering chop, WALTER and Rex Steiner go toe-to-toe in a brutal showcase of heavyweight supremacy. Steiner utilizes his explosive amateur wrestling background, ducking under a massive lariat from WALTER to execute a stunning, high-angle belly-to-belly suplex that sends the multi-hundred-pound champion crashing across the ring. Steiner hits the ropes, looking to follow up with a running shoulder block, but WALTER stands his ground, leveling Steiner with a vicious big boot that turns the powerhouse inside out.

WALTER takes total, methodical control of the canvas. He stalks Steiner, executing a series of stiff, agonizing knee drops directly to Rex’s spine before locking in a crushing Boston crab. Steiner screams in agony, his back bending at a horrific angle as he desperately reaches for the bottom ropes.

Just as Steiner looks ready to submit, Hook returns to the fray. The Television Champion slides into the ring, executing a low, sweeping dropkick straight to WALTER’s exposed knee, breaking the submission hold. Hook doesn't stop there; utilizing his judo background, he catches the staggering giant off-balance, executing a spectacular overhead elazuigiri that forces WALTER out to the arena floor.

The match shifts into a breathless, chaotic sequence between Hook and Rex Steiner. Both young, hungry competitors exchange heavy, exhausting forearms in the dead center of the ring. Every strike echoes like a gunshot. Steiner gains the upper hand, hitting a sudden, powerful spinebuster that leaves Hook dazed. Steiner covers—1... 2... No! Hook showcases his elite resilience, getting a shoulder up just in the nick of time.

Steiner looks to finish the match early, hoisting Hook onto his shoulders for a definitive running powerslam. However, Hook fights out of the lift, slipping down Steiner’s back. With lightning-fast execution, Hook locks in the suffocating Redrum submission right in the middle of the ring. Steiner gasps for air, his vision fading as Hook pulls back with immense leverage.

Before Steiner can pass out, WALTER re-enters the ring like a runaway freight train. The Ring General completely obliterates the submission, delivering a devastating, running European uppercut that knocks Hook clean out of the hold. WALTER grabs a dazed Rex Steiner, hoists him effortlessly into the air, and drops him with a thunderous, high-impact powerbomb. WALTER covers Steiner—1... 2... but Hook miraculously flies across the ring, executing a desperation diving dropkick to break up the pinfall at the absolute last millisecond.

The final minutes turn into a breathtaking, three-way war of attrition. All three men are visibly battered, their chests crimson from heavy strikes. Hook fires back, hitting a series of short-arm clotheslines on WALTER, trying to cut the giant down to size. WALTER doesn't even flinch, answering back with a second thunderous chop that leaves Hook gasping on his knees.

WALTER looks to finish Hook off, scaling the turnbuckle to set up for a rare, top-rope splash. Seeing the champion stranded on the ropes, Rex Steiner finds his second wind. Driven by pure adrenaline, Steiner rushes up the turnbuckle, hooks WALTER’s massive arms, and executes a breathtaking, high-risk superplex off the top rope! The entire ring foundation shakes violently upon impact.

The crowd is completely unglued, chanting "This is wrestling!" at the top of their lungs. All three competitors lay completely spent on the canvas. Hook is the first to crawl over, desperately draping an arm over WALTER, then over Steiner, but both men manage to kick out at two and nine-tenths.

Frustrated, Hook tries to lock the Redrum on WALTER once more, but the Ring General anticipates the transition. WALTER shifts his massive weight, turning the submission attempt into a brutal sleeper hold of his own. As Hook suffocates in the hold, Rex Steiner charges in for a desperation spear, but WALTER pushes Hook directly into Steiner's path.

The two challengers collide brutally. As a dazed Steiner stumbles backward into the ropes, WALTER rebounds, turning him inside out with a ferocious, bone-shattering Lariat. Steiner collapses out of the ring to the floor below, completely out cold.

Inside the ring, Hook is still struggling to stand, completely spent from the physical toll of the war. WALTER stands tall, his eyes burning with pure dominance. He hooks Hook’s arms, hoists him high into the heavens, and plants him firmly into the canvas with a devastating, high-impact Ricola Bomb. WALTER throws his massive frame over Hook for the definitive cover as the referee counts the 1... 2... 3!

Winner and STILL EAM Ornate Prime Champion: WALTER

Across from her stands Chelsea Green, looking intensely aggravated by the crowd's adoration for the "old timer." Following the bitter words exchanged weeks ago, the psychological tension is at an all-time high.

The referee calls for the bell, and Chelsea immediately launches into a frantic verbal tirade, poking AJ in the chest. AJ simply smirks, grabs Chelsea’s finger, and wrings her arm into a crisp arm-drag that sends Green scrambling to the corner, screaming in frustration. AJ keeps the pressure on, utilizing her signature lightning-fast agility to hit a swinging neckbreaker for an early two-count.

Green, realizing she is being out-wrestled, resorts to her chaotic, underhanded tactics. As AJ hits the ropes, Chelsea subtly grabs the referee’s shirt, pulling him into the line of sight. With the referee momentarily obstructed, Green delivers a sharp, vicious poke to AJ’s eyes. Blinded, AJ stumbles backward, and Chelsea capitalizes instantly, executing a brutal curb stomp directly into the bottom turnbuckle.

Chelsea takes absolute control of the match, mockingly skipping around the ring to infuriate the fans. She punishes AJ with a series of high-angle suplexes and a tight chin-lock, grinding down the veteran's endurance. AJ fights through the agony, channeling the energy of the roaring crowd to power back to her feet. She breaks the hold with sharp elbows to Chelsea's ribs, hits the ropes, and counters a charging Green with a spectacular tornado DDT out of the corner.

Both women lay spent on the canvas as the referee begins his count. They stagger up at the count of seven, trading heavy forearms in the center of the ring. AJ gains the upper hand, hitting a flurry of clotheslines and a shining wizard that leaves Chelsea dazed. Sensing the end, AJ beautifully transitions, climbing onto Chelsea’s back to lock in the suffocating Black Widow submission hold!

The crowd is on their feet, anticipating a tap-out. Chelsea screams in agony, her body bending under the pressure. However, Green’s desperation takes over. She uses her leverage to drive AJ backward, slamming her violently into the turnbuckle padding to break the hold.

As a dazed AJ stumbles out of the corner, Chelsea strikes like a cobra. She hooks AJ's arms cleanly and plants her face-first into the canvas with a devastating I'm Prettier. Chelsea throws her entire weight into the cover, hooking both legs securely as the referee counts the definitive 1... 2... 3! Chelsea Green secures the biggest, most shocking win of her career.

The dynamic energy of traditional Mexican lucha libre fills the arena as four of the world's most spectacular aerial artists stand face-to-face. The bell rings, and the match instantly explodes into a breathless sequence of rapid-fire arm drags, headscissors, and synchronized matrix evasions between Rey Fénix and Laredo Kid. The crowd is instantly chanting "Lucha! Lucha!" before anyone even lands a definitive strike.

Pentagón Jr. tags in, instantly shifting the tone from high-flying athleticism to pure, unadulterated violence. He confronts Octagón Jr. in the center of the ring, removing his glove and chopping Octagón's chest with a resounding crack that echoes through the rafters. Octagón fires back with a springboard dropkick, sending Penta staggering into the ropes. The Aztec Warriors seize the immediate momentum, utilizing seamless tandem teamwork to hit a double-flapping plancha over the top rope, wiping out the Lucha Bros on the outside floor.

Laredo Kid rolls Fénix back inside, looking for a quick pinfall, but Fénix kicks out at two. The Lucha Bros quickly showcase why they are one of the most decorated tag teams in history. Penta creates a distraction on the apron, allowing Fénix to hit a sudden, spectacular springboard cutter on Laredo Kid. The Lucha Bros take total control, systematically isolating Laredo Kid in their corner with frequent tags, stiff superkicks, and agonizing submission stretches.

After enduring minutes of punishment, Laredo Kid finds his second wind. He counters a brainbuster from Penta into a stunning satellite DDT, leaving both men down. Laredo makes the hot tag to Octagón Jr., who enters like a house on fire. Octagón obliterates Fénix with a spinning heel kick and catches Penta with a breathtaking tornado DDT off the second rope for a razor-close two-count.

The final minutes turn into an absolute masterpiece of high-risk offense. All four men enter the ring, exchanging a barrage of superkicks that leaves everyone standing dazed. Laredo Kid executes a spectacular Spanish Fly off the top rope onto Fénix, but before he can make the cover, Pentagón Jr. intercepts him.

Penta levels Octagón Jr. with a devastating package driver. Seizing the absolute endgame, Fénix positions himself on the top rope.

EAM Intercontinental Championship Matchup
Colt Cabana (c) Vs Danhausen

The crowd unleashes a massive wave of eccentric cheers as the challenger, Danhausen, makes his way down the ramp. True to his word, he struts confidently with the Intergender Tag Team Championship straps draped prominently over his shoulders, looking to add singles gold to his collection. Inside the ring stands the veteran champion, Colt Cabana, who looks deeply perplexed by the supernatural aura and comedy shenanigans of his opponent.

The bell rings, and Danhausen immediately demands that Colt Cabana surrender the Intercontinental Championship peacefully, promising not to curse him if he complies. Cabana simply laughs, using his classic world-class catch-as-catch-can wrestling to ground the challenger with a series of slick wrist-locks and a shoulder tackle. Cabana hits his signature Flying Apple in the corner, completely dominating the opening minutes while the crowd enjoys the entertainment.

However, the tide turns when Danhausen decides he has had enough of Cabana's wrestling clinics.

As Cabana goes for a bionic elbow, Danhausen suddenly pulls a small velvet pouch from his boot. Before the referee can intervene, Danhausen theatrically points a crooked, menacing finger directly at Colt Cabana's face, unleashing a loud, echoing cry: "YOU ARE CURSED-HAUSEN!"

Instantly, the arena's overhead lights flicker violently into an eerie crimson hue. A sudden wave of unnatural bad luck strikes the champion. Cabana’s knee completely locks up for no physical reason, and he stumbles backward, clutching his leg in total bewilderment.

Danhausen capitalizes on the supernatural shift immediately. He rushes forward, delivering a barrage of sharp, running knee strikes to Cabana's dazed jaw. Danhausen hoists the weakened champion up and executes a high-impact Goodnighthansen GTS variant right in the center of the ring. Cabana crashes hard onto the canvas. Danhausen quickly drops into the cover, hooking Cabana's leg firmly as the referee counts the 1... 2... 3! The arena explodes as Danhausen captures the Intercontinental Title in truly bizarre fashion.

The Bella Twins (Nikki and Brie) use their aggressive, hard-hitting style to tackle the IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce) straight to the mat, raining down a flurry of raw right hands. The action quickly spills to the outside floor, with Brie Bella launching herself off the apron with a brilliant Brie Mode missile dropkick that flattens Peyton Royce against the barricade.

Billie Kay shifts the momentum into the IIconics' favor by utilizing a weapon of opportunity, violently smashing Nikki Bella's head into the steel ring post. With no disqualifications to stop them, the IIconics systematically dismantle Nikki on the outside, using a steel chair to repeatedly punish her lower back. They drag a battered Nikki back into the ring, utilizing frequent tags and underhanded double-teaming to keep her isolated from her sister.

Peyton Royce places a steel chair in the center of the ring, looking to execute a tandem suplex onto the metal structure. However, Nikki Bella showcases her signature powerhouse resilience. She fights out of the double-team grip, ducking under a clothesline from Billie Kay to plant Peyton Royce with a thunderous spinebuster directly onto the canvas. Nikki crawls desperately, making the hot tag to her sister.

Brie Bella enters like a house on fire, clearing house with a series of rapid dropkicks and running knee smashes to the IIconics in the corners.

EAM Tag Team Championships Matchup
Hafthor & Hall (c) Vs Randy Orton & Jon Moxley

The Big Men of EAM, Hafthor and Hall, walk down the ramp carrying an aura of absolute invincibility, the EAM Tag Team Championship straps gleaming on their shoulders. Across the ring stands a terrifyingly dangerous combination of veteran execution and unhinged violence: "The Apex Predator" Randy Orton and Jon Moxley.

The bell rings, and Moxley immediately goes after Hall, throwing wild, chaotic forearms. Hall barely blinks, shrugging off the strikes before leveling Moxley with a thunderous shoulder block. Hafthor tags in, and the champions begin isolating Moxley, using their terrifying size to trap him in their corner. Hafthor hits a massive running splash, squashing Moxley against the turnbuckle padding.

Realizing that conventional wrestling will not work against two human blue whales, Orton and Moxley turn to their specialties: deception and cheating.

While Hafthor is dominating Moxley, Orton steps off the apron and grabs a steel chair from ringside. As the referee aggressively tries to back Hafthor off, Moxley delivers a blatant, low-blow kick to the giant's groin. Hafthor drops to his knees, gasping for air. Moxley makes the hot tag, and Orton slides in, instantly dropping the vulnerable giant with a precise, snapping DDT. Orton covers—1... 2... but Hall charges in, breaking the pinfall with a heavy leg drop.

The match descends into a tactical masterclass of underhanded tactics. Moxley slides out of the ring and uncovers the concrete floor by ripping away the protective mats. Inside, Orton sets up Hafthor for the RKO. As Hafthor stumbles forward, Orton leaps, but the giant catches him mid-air and shoves him into the ropes. Orton rebounds, and Hafthor blindsides him with a devastating big boot.

Hafthor looks to tag in Hall, but Moxley climbs the apron and forcefully pulls Hall down to the floor, smashing his face into the steel ring post. Inside the ring, Orton smells blood in the water. He commands Moxley to slide a steel chair inside. While the referee is completely occupied reprimanding Moxley, Orton strikes Hafthor brutally across the spine with the chair. The giant roars in pain but stays on his feet. Orton hits the ropes and cleanly executes a thunderous RKO!

The arena is on its feet. Orton hooks the leg—1... 2... but Hafthor’s sheer, massive bulk allows him to power out, throwing Orton off his frame. Moxley tags back in, bringing a barbed-wire wrapped baseball bat he hid under the ring. As Moxley lifts the weapon, Hall finally recovers, sliding into the ring and intercepting Moxley with a bone-shattering spear.

The ring is a war zone. Orton charges at Hall, but Hall catches him by the throat, hoisting him high into the heavens for a chokeslam. Simultaneously, Hafthor pushes past the pain, grabbing a dazed Jon Moxley. The champions stand side-by-side, executing a double-chokeslam/running powerslam combination right into the canvas. Hafthor throws his massive frame over Moxley while Hall aggressively blocks Orton on the outside. The referee slides into position, counting a grueling 1... 2... 3! The champions survive the ultimate heist.

Winners and STILL EAM Tag Team Champions: Hafthor & Hall

The bell rings, but the champions barely have time to raise their titles. Suddenly, the arena graphics flash as reDragon (Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish) storm down the ramp with steel chairs. Before Hafthor and Hall can react, the debuting Jack Vaughn and Donovan Cecil sprint through the crowd, blindsiding the champions from behind.

To make matters even more chaotic, the legendary Hardy Boyz emerge from the back, weapons in hand!

An absolute seven-on-two beatdown unfolds inside the squared circle. Randy Orton and Jon Moxley quickly join the scuffle, eager to exact revenge for their loss. Moxley unleashes a flurry of chair shots to Hafthor’s ribs, while O'Reilly and Fish systematically target Hall’s legs with stiff Kendo stick strikes. Jeff Hardy scales the turnbuckle, looking to put Hall through a table.

But the EAM Tag Team Champions possess survival instincts as massive as their frames. Channeling raw, adrenaline-fueled power, Hafthor violently shoves Jack Vaughn into Matt Hardy, creating a momentary clearing. Hall uses the opening to level Bobby Fish with a heavy forearm, grabbing their championship belts from the canvas.

Using their sheer mass as a snowplow, Hafthor and Hall barrel through the perimeter, rolling out under the bottom rope. The massive champions retreat through the crowd, holding their titles high, battered but still unbroken, leaving the ring full of frustrated superstars.

Losing Team Gets Covered In Pink Paint
Johnny Gargano & Candice LeRae Vs John Morrison & Taya Valkyrie

The stakes are uniquely humiliating for this highly anticipated mixed tag team encounter, with two giant vats of bright, sticky pink paint resting menacingly on platforms right next to the entrance stage.

Johnny Gargano and John Morrison start the match at a blistering, athletic pace, exchanging rapid-fire arm drags and parkour-infused counters. Gargano hits a beautiful rolling neckbreaker, but Morrison answers back instantly with a standing shooting star press for a quick two-count.

The women tag in, and "La Wera Loca" Taya Valkyrie immediately uses her significant size and power advantage to ground Candice LeRae. Taya delivers a series of brutal chops in the corner, followed by a running double knee smash that leaves LeRae gasping. Candice showcases her signature resilience, countering a powerbomb attempt into a spectacular tornado DDT off the second rope to buy herself some time.

Gargano tags back in, firing up the crowd as he hits a suicide dive onto Morrison outside. Back in the ring, Gargano sets up for One Final Beat, but Taya subtly grabs his ankle from the outside. The distraction allows Morrison to recover, catching Gargano with a devastating springboard calf kick.

Morrison hooks the leg while Taya aggressively keeps Candice out of the ring, securing the pinfall victory.

Winners: John Morrison & Taya Valkyrie

The Punishment
True to the humiliating stipulation, John Morrison and Taya Valkyrie waste zero time. They aggressively drag a defeated, struggling Johnny Gargano and a battered Candice LeRae up the entrance ramp. With the crowd roaring, Morrison and Taya tip the massive vats over, completely covering Gargano and LeRae from head to toe in thick, gooey, bright pink paint, leaving the helpless duo completely embarrassed on the stage.


Backstage, the tension is thick as the definitive, high-stakes retirement stipulation looms over the arena. Seth Rollins paces back and forth in a dark hallway, looking visibly anxious about his career-threatening matchup against Shawn Michaels. Suddenly, he spots a bizarre, cloaked figure sitting on a production crate, casually eating a bag of human-shaped jelly candies.

It’s Danhausen.

Rollins approaches him, dropping his usual arrogant demeanor, adopting a serious, desperate expression. "Danhausen. Listen to me," Rollins says, his voice low. "Tonight, everything is on the line. If I lose, I have to leave EAM forever. I know you possess... unusual capabilities. I need you to curse Shawn Michaels tonight. I need him broken."

Danhausen looks up, his painted face tilting in curiosity. He points a crooked finger at Rollins. "Ah! The colorful, cackling man-hausen! You wish for a very evil, very powerful curse upon the Heart-Break-Kid-hausen?" Danhausen's tone suddenly shifts from eccentric to dead serious, his eyes widening. "But curses require a grand sacrifice. Do you possess a sack of human money? Or perhaps shiny silver coins to appease Danhausen?"

Rollins blinks, momentarily thrown off by the bizarre shift, but snaps back into focus. "I can get you whatever you want after the match! Just do it, Danhausen. My entire EAM career depends on this!"

Danhausen nods slowly, stashing his candies away. "Very well. Danhausen shall prepare the ultimate hex. Shawn Michaels will be very cursed, very broken, and you will remain in EAM-hausen." Rollins sighs in relief, slapping Danhausen on the shoulder before walking away, completely oblivious to the chaotic nature of supernatural promises.

Shawn Michaels Vs Seth Rollins

The atmosphere inside the arena is purely historic. The crowd is completely unglued as "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels makes his iconic entrance, knowing this could be the final match of his legendary career. Across the ring stands "The Visionary" Seth Rollins, radiating pure intensity, fighting for his very survival in EAM.

The bell rings, and the emotional weight of the stipulation formats the opening minutes. They start with a tense, tactical lockup, trading veteran wrist-locks and side headlocks. Michaels showcases that he hasn't lost a single step, catching Rollins off-guard with a classic, crisp arm-drag followed by a dynamic swinging neckbreaker that sends Rollins scrambling to the outside floor to regroup.

Rollins returns to the ring with total aggression. He targets Michaels’ surgically repaired back, violently dropping him across the ring apron. Rollins takes absolute control, punishing HBK with a series of brutal, high-angle suplexes and a tight chin-lock, grinding down the legend's endurance. Rollins hits a beautiful falcon arrow for a razor-close two-count, looking frustrated that the icon refuses to stay down.

Michaels finds his second wind, fueled by the roaring crowd. He counters a pedigree attempt with a backdrop, following up with a series of rapid-fire atomic drops and a thunderous flying forearm smash that leaves both men down on the canvas. Michaels nimbly executes his signature kip-up, sending the arena into an absolute frenzy! HBK scales the turnbuckle, standing tall before launching himself off with a flawless diving elbow drop directly into Rollins' chest.

Michaels walks to the corner, tuning up the band. The crowd stomps along as he prepares for Sweet Chin Music. Michaels charges, but Rollins counters out of nowhere with a lethal superkick of his own! Michaels stumbles, and Rollins immediately follows up with a pedigree dead in the center of the ring. Rollins covers—1... 2... No! Michaels miraculously kicks out at two and nine-tenths.

Desperate, Rollins looks toward the entrance ramp, frantically screaming for Danhausen to deliver the promised curse.

Suddenly, Danhausen appears on the stage, but he isn't looking at the ring. He is completely occupied arguing with a stadium vendor, counting a tiny pile of generic play-money coins he was mistakenly handed backstage. Danhausen is so thoroughly distracted by the counterfeit "human money" that he completely forgets about the match, waving Rollins off to continue his financial dispute.

Rollins realizes he has been completely abandoned. He turns around in absolute fury, completely losing his focus. Michaels capitalizes on the distraction instantly. As Rollins turns, HBK connects out of nowhere with a thunderous, bone-shattering Sweet Chin Music straight to Rollins' jaw! Rollins collapses to the mat like a house of cards. Michaels throws himself over the Visionary for the definitive cover as the referee counts the 1... 2... 3! The legend survives, and Seth Rollins' time in EAM is officially over.

Winner: Shawn Michaels (Seth Rollins must leave EAM)


The arena is filled with a mixture of triumphant cheers for Shawn Michaels and a somber, respectful silence for the fallen challenger. Michaels exits the ring, leaving the spotlight entirely to the man whose career in the company has just reached its final curtain.

Seth Rollins slowly, painfully pushes himself up onto his knees, clutching his jaw. He looks around the massive arena, taking in the sights of the EAM Universe one last time. A ringside technician hands him a microphone. Rollins stands in the center of the ring, his eyes visibly watering as the fans give him a standing ovation.

"I... I came into this company with a vision," Rollins’ voice cracks slightly, but he maintains his composure. "And for years, every single night, I gave you my blood, my sweat, and my absolute soul. Things didn't go my way tonight... and a promise is a promise. But I want to say a massive thank you to every single one of you in the EAM Universe. You made me, you fought with me, and you let me be your Visionary."

Rollins drops the microphone, bows deeply to all four sides of the arena, and exits through the ropes. He walks up the ramp, turning around one final time to wave goodbye as the screen fades to black on his historic EAM career.

EAM Womens Championship Matchup
Skye Blue (c) Vs Julia Hart

The psychological landscape of this championship contest is heavily fractured. Only twenty-four hours prior, the delicate alliance between Skye Blue and Julia Hart completely crumbled when Skye tagged herself into a chaotic tag team match, a costly miscommunication that directly handed the victory to Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. Tonight, the dark, enigmatic Julia Hart enters the arena radiating a cold, palpable fury, her eyes fixed entirely on the EAM Women's Championship strapped around the waist of her former ally.

The referee raises the gold, the bell rings, and the emotional explosion is instantaneous. Julia doesn't wait for a traditional lockup; she storms across the canvas, unloading a barrage of fierce, stiff forearm smashes that drive Skye back into the turnbuckles. Hart channels all her lingering resentment into a brutal running clothesline, followed by a vicious snapping suplex that yields an immediate, aggressive two-count.

Skye Blue quickly realizes that sentimentality will not save her title. Utilizing her signature agility, Skye counters an encroaching Julia with a crisp matrix evasion, returning to her feet to deliver a devastating superkick straight to Hart's jaw. The champion takes flight, hitting the ropes to unleash a spectacular, high-flying diving crossbody off the top turnbuckle onto Julia outside on the floor.

The match shifts into a breathless, world-class sequence of near-falls and hyper-technical counters. Hart targets Skye's lower back, violently dropping her across the steel ring steps. Back inside, Julia applies a punishing, high-angle camel clutch, pulling back with immense leverage. Skye screams in pain, her body contorting under the pressure, but the roaring crowd fuels her resilience. Skye fights to her feet, breaking the hold with a sharp jawbreaker.

Both women lay spent on the canvas as the referee begins his count. Staggering up at seven, they trade blistering chest chops that echo like gunshots. Skye gains the upper hand, hitting a beautiful tornado DDT out of the corner for a razor-close two and nine-tenths count.

Sensing the endgame, Skye sets up for the Skye Fall. However, Julia counters mid-air, shifting her weight flawlessly into a textbook, high-impact sit-out powerbomb.

Without breaking stride, Julia transitions directly into the agonizing Hartless submission hold dead in the center of the ring. Skye gasps for air, desperately thrashing to reach the bottom rope, but Julia pulls back with everything she has left. Left with absolutely no escape, Skye Blue is forced to frantically tap out, crowning a new champion in an absolute masterpiece of emotional storytelling.

Suddenly, the iconic, high-energy opening chords of "Hardcore Country" crank through the arena speakers, and the roof nearly blasts off the building from the sheer volume of the audience's roar. Julia freezes, stunned.

Emerging from the Gorilla position stands the legendary Mickie James. She doesn't speak a word, nor does she make a single move toward the squared circle. Instead, Mickie walks out onto the stage, soaking in the massive ovation, and confidently hoists her prestigious Center of Attention Championship high above her head.

The segment concludes in pure, heavy eye contact between the two champions. No words, no physical scuffle—just an undeniable declaration of war written across their faces as the camera fades.

No Holds Barred! Grudge Matchup

The bitter, deeply personal animosity between Maxwell Jacob Friedman and CM Punk reaches its violent boiling point under No Holds Barred stipulations. The moment the bell rings, all concepts of a standard wrestling match are thrown out. They charge at each other like rabid dogs, exchanging raw, unscripted right hands in the dead center of the ring. Punk gains the early advantage, clotheslining MJF over the top rope onto the concrete below.

With the rulebook entirely discarded, Punk pursues MJF to the outside, violently launching him into the steel ring post. Punk reaches under the apron, pulling out a heavy wooden table and sliding it into the ring. However, the ultimate narcissist MJF counters with his classic underhanded brilliance. As Punk attempts to climb back inside, MJF grabs a discarded television cable from the timekeeper’s area, wrapping it tightly around Punk's throat to cut off his breath.

MJF takes sadistic control of the matchup. He drags a bleeding CM Punk back into the ring, systematically punishing him with a steel chair, targeting Punk's ribs with unrelenting strikes. MJF sets up the chair in the corner, looking to lawn-dart Punk face-first into the metal structure.

Showing his legendary fighting spirit, Punk counters mid-lift, utilizing a desperation drop-toehold to send MJF crashing directly into the steel chair instead.

Across from him stands "The Aerial Assassin" Will Ospreay, the challenger, radiating an intense, hyper-focused energy. The referee hoists the gold high into the air, the bell rings, and the crowd unleashes a deafening roar. This is a battle of prestige, elite work rate, and world championship supremacy.

The match starts at a breathless, blistering pace. They lock up, and Ospreay immediately showcases his elite speed, executing a series of rapid-fire arm drags and a spectacular handspring overhead kick that catches the champion off guard. Hendry stumbles backward, but his world-class power allows him to respond instantly. He catches a soaring Ospreay right out of mid-air, reversing a crossbody attempt into a thunderous, bone-shattering spinebuster that shakes the very foundation of the ring.

Hendry takes methodical control, grounding the high-flyer. He punishes Ospreay’s spine with heavy knee drops before locking in a crushing camel clutch dead in the center of the ring. Ospreay screams in agony, his back bending at an unnatural angle under Hendry's immense leverage. The crowd rallies behind the challenger, stomping their feet. Driven by pure fighting spirit, Ospreay channels his energy, fighting up to his knees and breaking the hold with a sharp jawbreaker that creates some much-needed separation.

Both men lay spent on the canvas as the referee begins his count. Staggering up at the count of seven, they go toe-to-toe, trading blistering chest chops that echo like gunshots through the arena. Ospreay finds his second wind, hitting a rapid series of clotheslines before dropping Hendry with a spectacular, springboard OsCutter off the second rope. Ospreay throws himself into the cover—1... 2... No! Hendry showcases his champion's resilience, kicking out at two and eight-tenths.

The match reaches an absolute fever pitch as the action spills wildly onto the apron. Ospreay hits a devastating hook kick, leaving Hendry dazed. Looking to take the ultimate risk, Ospreay scales the turnbuckle and executes a breathtaking Spanish Fly off the top rope, driving both men crashing hard through the timekeeper's table at ringside! The structure explodes into splinters. The referee frantically counts as both competitors crawl through the wreckage, barely sliding back under the bottom rope at the count of nine.

Back inside, a bleeding Ospreay smells blood in the water. He positions himself in the corner, waiting for Hendry to stagger to his feet. Ospreay charges, looking to end the night with a ferocious Hidden Blade, but the champion anticipates the strike. Hendry ducks the swinging elbow, grabs Ospreay by the waist, and hurls him across the ring with a massive, high-angle deadlift German suplex. Ospreay stumbles up, completely disoriented, right into the waiting arms of the champion.

Hendry locks in the agonizing Hendry Lock dead in the center of the ring. The submission is securely fastened, and Ospreay is trapped with nowhere to go. He scratches and claws at the canvas, his vision visibly fading as the referee checks his arm. Just as it looks like Ospreay is about to pass out, he finds a final surge of adrenaline, desperately stretching his leg out to drape his boot over the bottom rope, forcing a critical referee break.

The arena is completely unglued, chanting "This is wrestling!" at the top of their lungs in what Dave Meltzer would undoubtedly call a certified five-star epic. Both men are running on empty, trading heavy, exhausting forearms as they struggle to stay upright. Ospreay blocks a punch, hooks Hendry’s arms, and attempts to execute the Storm Breaker.

However, Joe Hendry showcases why he sits on the throne of EAM. He shifts his massive weight mid-lift, completely countering the maneuver. With absolute authority, Hendry hoists Ospreay high into the heavens and plants him firmly into the canvas with a devastating, high-impact Freak Accident. Hendry hooks the leg tightly, putting everything he has left into the cover as the referee counts the definitive 1... 2... 3!

Suddenly, an explosive, familiar guitar riff cuts through the stadium audio, and the roof nearly blasts off the building from the sheer volume of the audience's roar.

Down the entrance ramp charges a heavily bruised, heavily bandaged, but absolutely pumped CM Punk. Fresh off his own violent, exhausting war earlier in the night, Punk is running on pure, unadulterated adrenaline. In his right hand, he grips the golden ticket to immortality: the Money in the Bank briefcase he won last year at Swimming with Sharks XII - From Rags to Riches.


Punk slides under the bottom rope, instantly handing the briefcase over to the panicked referee. The ring announcer grabs the microphone, his voice echoing through the screaming arena: "Ladies and gentlemen, CM Punk is cashing in his Money in the Bank contract!"

A Supershow, Live from Hammerstein Ballroom, New York


"Cult of Personality" cranks the arena speakers as the show opens in the arena. The crowd erupts as CM Punk steps onto the stage, dressed in jeans, a black hoodie, and the EAM World Heavyweight Championship draped proudly over his shoulder. He pauses at the top of the ramp, looking at the title before making his way to the ring.

A loud chorus of mixed cheers and boos follows him as Punk grabs a microphone and waits for the crowd to settle.

CM Punk:
"You know... this thing..."

He pats the championship belt on his shoulder.

"I've spent my entire career chasing championships. Fighting for championships. Bleeding for championships. Sometimes... losing championships."

"But this one?"

"This one doesn't feel the way I imagined it would."

The crowd quiets.

"Yeah, I won it. The record books say CM Punk is the EAM World Heavyweight Champion. They don't say I cheated. They don't say I broke any rules."

"Because I didn't."

A few cheers.

"I had a contract. I earned that contract. Joe Hendry had just survived one hell of a title defense. I cashed in. That's what Money in the Bank is for."

He nods.

"Legally... I did everything right."

A pause.

"Morally?"

Punk sighs.

"Joe... if you're listening... I'm sorry."

The arena reacts immediately.

"Not because I became champion."

"I'm never going to apologize for becoming World Champion."

"But I will apologize because after everything this company went through to get that championship away from Max Friedman... after you gave these fans a champion they could finally believe in..."

"You deserved better than to lose it with barely enough strength left to stand."

"You deserved to lose that title in a fight. Face-to-face. One-on-one."

"And if you want that opportunity..."

Punk removes the championship from his shoulder and raises it.

"Come out here."

"Because I'll give it to you."

"Right here. Eye to eye."

"No shortcuts."

"No briefcases."

"Just two men who know exactly what this championship is worth...."

"Say his name and he appears!..."

The arena explodes in cheers as Joe Hendry walks onto the stage to a deafening ovation, smiling slightly as he soaks in the reaction before his expression turns serious. He enters the ring and stands opposite Punk. The two men stare each other down as Joe slowly raises his microphone.

Joe Hendry:
"You know... that's the first thing you've said in weeks that I actually believe."

A small cheer from the crowd.

"Because I know you, Punk."

"I've watched you for years. I've respected you for years."

"You aren't sorry you won."

Punk nods.

"You're sorry because you know I'll always be able to say..."

Joe points at the championship.

"You never beat me."

The crowd roars as Punk smiles a devilish smile.

CM Punk:
"You're right."

"I didn't."

Joe continues.

Joe Hendry:
"I spent weeks trying to bring honor back to that championship after Max turned it into his own personal hostage situation. I beat Will Ospreay, one of the greatest technical wrestlers of all time, in my first title defence! And even before I could catch my breath... You came and took it away...

Punk doesn't interrupt.

"But... I don't hate you. Not at all..."

"I don't even blame you for cashing in. Hell, I would probably have done the same thing"

"But make no mistake about it Phillip..."

Joe steps closer.

"That championship is still unfinished business between you and me."

The crowd starts to chant:

"LET THEM FIGHT!"

Punk and Joe stare each other down in the middle of the ring when " Better than you " cranks the arena speakers, and the arena immediately rains down in massive boos. MJF storms onto the stage in an expensive suit, sunglasses on despite being indoors. He doesn't even look at the crowd as he marches down the rampway.

MJF:
"Cut my music!!!"

He laughs an hysterical laugh...

MJF:
"This..."

He points toward the ring.

"This is absolutely adorable."

"Seriously. Give yourselves a hug."

"We've got Saint Punk finding his conscience..."

"We've got Joe Hendry pretending he's Rocky Balboa..."

"Everybody gets closure."

"Everybody gets redemption."

"Everybody gets a participation trophy."

He slowly and mockingly applauds...

"Except, there is one tiny little problem."

MJF points directly at Punk.

"That championship?"

"Should still be mine."

The boos grow louder.

"Joe..."

He looks at Hendry.

"You didn't beat the best version of Maxwell Jacob Friedman."

"You beat a man who got screwed by his own company."

"A company so desperate to get rid of me that they manipulated the only rule protecting MY championship reign! The greatest championship reign in EAM Promotions history, mind you..."

He turns toward Punk.

"And you!!!"

"You just had to stick your nose up where it didn't belong didnt you? Ruining two promotions and your career at the same time wasn't enough for you huh, so you just had to come here?"

"You couldn't even become World Champion until someone else did all the work for you."

MJF smirks.

"Congratulations!"

"You're both living off the biggest fluke in EAM history."

Joe laughs.

Joe Hendry:
"Still making excuses, Max?"

MJF fires back immediately.

MJF:
"Excuses?"

"No!"

"Facts!"

He points toward Punk.

"This fraud stole your championship!"

He points toward Joe.

"You stole my championship!"

Finally, MJF taps his own chest.

"And the only person in this entire company who has a legitimate claim to that title..."

"Is me!"

Punk finally speaks.

"Max..."

"The only thing you held hostage longer than that championship..."

"Was your own ego."

Huge reaction from the crowd from these words by Punk.

"You had over two years to prove you were the greatest champion in EAM history."

"Instead..."

"You proved you're the greatest excuse-maker in EAM history."

The crowd erupts in laugther.

Joe smirks.

Joe Hendry:
"Funny thing is Max..."

"You keep talking about things being stolen."

"Nobody stole anything."

"You issued an open challenge."

"I answered it."

"You lost."

"Then you lost to Punk."

"The common denominator isn't bad luck Max..."

The crowd lets out a loud "OOOH!"

MJF's smile suddenly disappears and he starts walking towards the ring as Punk and Joe instinctively stand shoulder-to-shoulder, but MJF stops halfway down the ramp, then starts laughing again.

MJF:
"Relax compadres. I'm not gonna fight either of you tonight."

"Besides..."

He points at the championship that is draped over Punk's shoulder.

"Sooner or later, management is going to realize exactly what everybody watching already knows."

"There is only one main event worthy of that championship at this point!"

"The Best in the World!"

He points at Punk.

"The People's Hero!"

He points at Joe.

"And the Devil himself!"

He points to his own chest.

"And when that happens..."

"One of you will get pinned!"

"One of you will get embarrassed!"

"And I walk out of the arena with MY championship belt."

MJF drops the microphone and backs up the ramp, never taking his eyes off the ring. Punk raises the championship between himself and Joe Hendry. Neither man notices MJF smiling to himself on the stage as we cut to the show's opening vignette....

Tag Team Matchup
reDragon (Kyle O' Reilly & Bobby Fish) Vs Jack Vaughn & Donovan Cecil

We go backstage where we hook up with Colt Cabana, who is talking to Kenny Omega. Omega tells Cabana he is sorry for Cabana's loss. It seems like Demons from the past tend to turn up and bite you when you least expect it. As he says this, Danhausen suddenly pops up from behind a crate, carrying the EAM Intercontintal Championship.

Danhausen:
Ohhhh... Both Cabanahausen and Omegahausen at once....

Cabana, who is clearly upset by his loss to Danhausen turns to him.

Cabana:
What do you want, freak? Don't you see we try and have a decent conversation here?

Danhausen:
Conversation? About what?

Omega:
About Demons!

Danhausen:
Ahhhhh! I know everything about Demonhausens.

As Danhausen turns around, he is suddenly all alone, as if Cabana and Omega just pulled Danhausen's own trick on him. When he turns around, he finds himself face to face with Prince Devitt.

Devitt:
Let me be the first once to congratulate you on becoming Intercontinental Champion.

Danhausen:
Oh! Thanx! I worked really hard for it!

Devitt:
Let me also remind you that you have never beaten me.

Danhausen:
Is that a threat, Demon-boy?

Devitt laughs...

Devitt:
No! That's a fact. And you better remember it. Enjoy your reign as Intercontinental Champion. It's gonna be as short as everyone else who held the title before you, if not shorter.

He pats Danhausen on the shoulder before leaving as we cut back to the arena for our next matchup...

And there will be no excuses this time. No chickening out or bending the rules from the champions. We get a short promo from Nikki and Brie as well, where they bring up the fact that the only reason Nia and Piper is still champions, is because they understood they had finally met a duo capable of dethroning them, and chickened out, abusing the rule about titles not changing hands on a count-out. At freaking Grandslam! Let that sink in! The EAM fans doesn't want closet champions, chickening out and cheating their way to victory. They want fighting champs, who give it all for those straps! Your time as champions might have been a long and dominant one, but it comes to and end now, by the hands of The Bella Twins!

A Supershow, Live from Hammerstein Ballroom, New York


"Cult of Personality" cranks the arena speakers as the show opens in the arena. The crowd erupts as CM Punk steps onto the stage, dressed in jeans, a black hoodie, and the EAM World Heavyweight Championship draped proudly over his shoulder. He pauses at the top of the ramp, looking at the title before making his way to the ring.

A loud chorus of mixed cheers and boos follows him as Punk grabs a microphone and waits for the crowd to settle.

CM Punk:
"You know... this thing..."

He pats the championship belt on his shoulder.

"I've spent my entire career chasing championships. Fighting for championships. Bleeding for championships. Sometimes... losing championships."

"But this one?"

"This one doesn't feel the way I imagined it would."

The crowd quiets.

"Yeah, I won it. The record books say CM Punk is the EAM World Heavyweight Champion. They don't say I cheated. They don't say I broke any rules."

"Because I didn't."

A few cheers.

"I had a contract. I earned that contract. Joe Hendry had just survived one hell of a title defense. I cashed in. That's what Money in the Bank is for."

He nods.

"Legally... I did everything right."

A pause.

"Morally?"

Punk sighs.

"Joe... if you're listening... I'm sorry."

The arena reacts immediately.

"Not because I became champion."

"I'm never going to apologize for becoming World Champion."

"But I will apologize because after everything this company went through to get that championship away from Max Friedman... after you gave these fans a champion they could finally believe in..."

"You deserved better than to lose it with barely enough strength left to stand."

"You deserved to lose that title in a fight. Face-to-face. One-on-one."

"And if you want that opportunity..."

Punk removes the championship from his shoulder and raises it.

"Come out here."

"Because I'll give it to you."

"Right here. Eye to eye."

"No shortcuts."

"No briefcases."

"Just two men who know exactly what this championship is worth...."

"Say his name and he appears!..."

The arena explodes in cheers as Joe Hendry walks onto the stage to a deafening ovation, smiling slightly as he soaks in the reaction before his expression turns serious. He enters the ring and stands opposite Punk. The two men stare each other down as Joe slowly raises his microphone.

Joe Hendry:
"You know... that's the first thing you've said in weeks that I actually believe."

A small cheer from the crowd.

"Because I know you, Punk."

"I've watched you for years. I've respected you for years."

"You aren't sorry you won."

Punk nods.

"You're sorry because you know I'll always be able to say..."

Joe points at the championship.

"You never beat me."

The crowd roars as Punk smiles a devilish smile.

CM Punk:
"You're right."

"I didn't."

Joe continues.

Joe Hendry:
"I spent weeks trying to bring honor back to that championship after Max turned it into his own personal hostage situation. I beat Will Ospreay, one of the greatest technical wrestlers of all time, in my first title defence! And even before I could catch my breath... You came and took it away...

Punk doesn't interrupt.

"But... I don't hate you. Not at all..."

"I don't even blame you for cashing in. Hell, I would probably have done the same thing"

"But make no mistake about it Phillip..."

Joe steps closer.

"That championship is still unfinished business between you and me."

The crowd starts to chant:

"LET THEM FIGHT!"

Punk and Joe stare each other down in the middle of the ring when " Better than you " cranks the arena speakers, and the arena immediately rains down in massive boos. MJF storms onto the stage in an expensive suit, sunglasses on despite being indoors. He doesn't even look at the crowd as he marches down the rampway.

MJF:
"Cut my music!!!"

He laughs an hysterical laugh...

MJF:
"This..."

He points toward the ring.

"This is absolutely adorable."

"Seriously. Give yourselves a hug."

"We've got Saint Punk finding his conscience..."

"We've got Joe Hendry pretending he's Rocky Balboa..."

"Everybody gets closure."

"Everybody gets redemption."

"Everybody gets a participation trophy."

He slowly and mockingly applauds...

"Except, there is one tiny little problem."

MJF points directly at Punk.

"That championship?"

"Should still be mine."

The boos grow louder.

"Joe..."

He looks at Hendry.

"You didn't beat the best version of Maxwell Jacob Friedman."

"You beat a man who got screwed by his own company."

"A company so desperate to get rid of me that they manipulated the only rule protecting MY championship reign! The greatest championship reign in EAM Promotions history, mind you..."

He turns toward Punk.

"And you!!!"

"You just had to stick your nose up where it didn't belong didnt you? Ruining two promotions and your career at the same time wasn't enough for you huh, so you just had to come here?"

"You couldn't even become World Champion until someone else did all the work for you."

MJF smirks.

"Congratulations!"

"You're both living off the biggest fluke in EAM history."

Joe laughs.

Joe Hendry:
"Still making excuses, Max?"

MJF fires back immediately.

MJF:
"Excuses?"

"No!"

"Facts!"

He points toward Punk.

"This fraud stole your championship!"

He points toward Joe.

"You stole my championship!"

Finally, MJF taps his own chest.

"And the only person in this entire company who has a legitimate claim to that title..."

"Is me!"

Punk finally speaks.

"Max..."

"The only thing you held hostage longer than that championship..."

"Was your own ego."

Huge reaction from the crowd from these words by Punk.

"You had over two years to prove you were the greatest champion in EAM history."

"Instead..."

"You proved you're the greatest excuse-maker in EAM history."

The crowd erupts in laugther.

Joe smirks.

Joe Hendry:
"Funny thing is Max..."

"You keep talking about things being stolen."

"Nobody stole anything."

"You issued an open challenge."

"I answered it."

"You lost."

"Then you lost to Punk."

"The common denominator isn't bad luck Max..."

The crowd lets out a loud "OOOH!"

MJF's smile suddenly disappears and he starts walking towards the ring as Punk and Joe instinctively stand shoulder-to-shoulder, but MJF stops halfway down the ramp, then starts laughing again.

MJF:
"Relax compadres. I'm not gonna fight either of you tonight."

"Besides..."

He points at the championship that is draped over Punk's shoulder.

"Sooner or later, management is going to realize exactly what everybody watching already knows."

"There is only one main event worthy of that championship at this point!"

"The Best in the World!"

He points at Punk.

"The People's Hero!"

He points at Joe.

"And the Devil himself!"

He points to his own chest.

"And when that happens..."

"One of you will get pinned!"

"One of you will get embarrassed!"

"And I walk out of the arena with MY championship belt."

MJF drops the microphone and backs up the ramp, never taking his eyes off the ring. Punk raises the championship between himself and Joe Hendry. Neither man notices MJF smiling to himself on the stage as we cut to the show's opening vignette....


Our opening contest for this supershow is the tag team match that was supposed to take place last week at Jamboree.

Tag Team Matchup
reDragon (Kyle O' Reilly & Bobby Fish) Vs Jack Vaughn & Donovan Cecil

The official tag team debut of Jack Vaughn and Donovan Cecil finally gets underway against the elite, hyper-disciplined duo of reDragon. The moment the bell rings, Vaughn seeks immediate retribution for the chaotic pre-match brawls from weeks prior, utilizing his raw power to corner Kyle O'Reilly with heavy, bruising shoulder thrusts. Cecil tags in shortly after, using his immense frame to ground Bobby Fish with a thunderous delayed vertical suplex that yields an early two-count.

However, the veteran precision of reDragon quickly shifts the technical narrative. Operating with seamless tag-team chemistry, Fish sweeps Vaughn’s legs from the apron, allowing O'Reilly to execute a fluid dragon screw leg whip through the ropes. reDragon takes total control of the canvas, systematically isolating Jack Vaughn in their corner. Fish and O'Reilly trade rapid-fire tags, unleashing a calculated barrage of stiff roundhouse kicks and agonizing submission stretches targeting Vaughn's left knee.

Vaughn showcases immense resilience, enduring minutes of grueling punishment before countering an encroaching O'Reilly with a sudden, desperation spinebuster. Vaughn crawls frantically, making the hot tag to Donovan Cecil. Cecil enters like a runaway freight train, clearing house by executing a massive double clothesline that flattens both members of reDragon. Cecil hoists Fish high into the air, planting him with a devastating running powerslam for a razor-close two and nine-tenths near-fall.

The match reaches its breathless, chaotic climax as all four men engage in a fierce striking exchange in the dead center of the ring. Vaughn attempts a big boot on O'Reilly, but Kyle expertly sidesteps the maneuver, catching Vaughn in a tight guillotine choke. Simultaneously, Cecil tries to intercept Fish, but Bobby counters with a devastating sweep to the back of Cecil's knee.

With perfect synchronization, reDragon executes their definitive tandem finisher. O'Reilly holds a dazed Cecil in a front facelock while Fish hits the ropes, delivering a sweeping leg kick combined with Kyle’s brainbuster. reDragon perfectly executes the Chasing the Dragon right in the middle of the ring. O'Reilly throws himself into the cover, hooking Cecil’s leg tightly while Fish aggressively blocks an encroaching Jack Vaughn from breaking the pinfall. The referee slides into place, counting the definitive 1... 2... 3, giving the veterans a hard-fought victory after a phenomenal contest.

Winners: reDragon

We go backstage where we hook up with Colt Cabana, who is talking to Kenny Omega. Omega tells Cabana he is sorry for Cabana's loss. It seems like Demons from the past tend to turn up and bite you when you least expect it. As he says this, Danhausen suddenly pops up from behind a crate, carrying the EAM Intercontintal Championship.

Danhausen:
Ohhhh... Both Cabanahausen and Omegahausen at once....

Cabana, who is clearly upset by his loss to Danhausen turns to him.

Cabana:
What do you want, freak? Don't you see we try and have a decent conversation here?

Danhausen:
Conversation? About what?

Omega:
About Demons!

Danhausen:
Ahhhhh! I know everything about Demonhausens.

As Danhausen turns around, he is suddenly all alone, as if Cabana and Omega just pulled Danhausen's own trick on him. When he turns around, he finds himself face to face with Prince Devitt.

Devitt:
Let me be the first once to congratulate you on becoming Intercontinental Champion.

Danhausen:
Oh! Thanx! I worked really hard for it!

Devitt laughs...

Devitt:
No! That's a fact. And you better remember it. Enjoy your reign as Intercontinental Champion. It's gonna be as short as everyone else who held the title before you, if not shorter.

He pats Danhausen on the shoulder before leaving as we cut back to the arena for our next matchup...

Tag Team Matchup
Tha Braid & Tha Boss (Bianca Belair & Sasha Banks) Vs Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair

The star power inside the squared circle is absolutely immense as the four definitive pillars of the women's division face off. The bell rings, and the match opens with a tense, tactical sequence between Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss. Banks utilizes her elite technical agility to ground Bliss with a deep arm-drag, but Alexa answers back instantly, countering a matrix evasion into a sharp basement dropkick that yields a quick one-count.

Charlotte Flair tags in, instantly elevating the physical stakes. "The Queen" asserts her dominant powerhouse style, leveling Bianca Belair with a thunderous running boot that turns "The EST" inside out. Flair and Bliss showcase surprising tag team synergy, systematically isolating Belair in their corner with frequent tags and a series of high-angle suplexes. Flair locks in a tight chin-lock, grinding down Bianca's endurance while mockingly gesturing to Sasha Banks on the apron.

Belair finds her second wind, driven by the roaring crowd. She counters a vertical suplex from Flair, shifting her weight mid-air to plant Charlotte with a sudden, powerful jawbreaker. Belair crawls desperately and makes the hot tag to Sasha Banks. "The Boss" enters like a house on fire, clearing the apron by knocking Bliss to the floor before leveling Flair with a spectacular springboard meteora off the second rope for a close two-count.

The closing minutes descend into pure, high-octane chaos as all four women enter the ring. Charlotte Flair hits a devastating spear on Belair, looking to follow up by locking in the Figure-Eight Leglock. However, Banks slides in just in time, breaking up the submission with a sharp dropkick to Flair's back.

Sensing the match slipping away, Tha Braid & Tha Boss resort to a highly calculated, underhanded tactic to secure the win.

While the referee is completely occupied trying to force an aggressive Alexa Bliss back out onto the apron, Bianca Belair detaches her signature long braid. Operating entirely out of the referee's line of sight, Belair wraps her heavy hair tightly around Charlotte Flair's ankles, forcefully tripping the Queen up as she attempts a big boot. Simultaneously, Sasha Banks capitalizes on the sudden fall, instantly transitioning into a slick, tight schoolboy roll-up. Banks reaches back, illegal grasping the ring ropes for maximum leverage while Belair holds Bliss back. The referee turns around, seeing only the pinfall, and counts the rapid 1... 2... 3!

The referee raises the arms of Banks and Belair, who quickly retreat up the ramp, laughing arrogantly while clutching their victory. Inside the ring, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss are absolutely furious. Charlotte screams at the referee, aggressively kicking the ropes and pointing to the hair braid, while Bliss punches the turnbuckle padding in pure, unbridled rage over the blatant robbery.

Winners: Tha Braid & Tha Boss

As we get back from commercial break we hook up with EAM's newest stable " The Algorithm " as their self-proclaimed leader and prophet; Aaron Stevens praises his boys for the victory at FFG when Logan Paul, who is on his phone suddenly burst out in outrage. The other guys wonder what it's all about, and Logan shows then and explains to them that this " Youtuber " called Mr. Beast, has talked trash about them on SoMe. And especially about him! The Logan Paul!
Aron tries to calm him down, telling him to focus, but Logan says he needs to take care of this, and he needs to do it right now! Stevens shakes his head as Logan leaves, leaving him to give Eli and Cassidy a quick peptalk before their are going out in the arena for our next matchup of the evening.

Tag Team Matchup
Eli Drake & Orange Cassidy Vs The Aztec Warriors (Laredo Kid and Octagón Jr.)

The unique, highly unorthodox alliance of Eli Drake and Orange Cassidy of The Algorithm stands across the ring from the spectacular, high-flying traditional lucha libre style of The Aztec Warriors. The match begins at a blistering pace, with Laredo Kid utilizing rapid-fire arm drags and a spectacular satellite headscissors to completely throw an indifferent Orange Cassidy off his game plan. Cassidy, keeping his hands casually inside his pockets, stumbles backward, tagging in an intensely annoyed Eli Drake.

Drake brings the physical power, leveling Octagón Jr. with a thunderous running clothesline. Drake takes control, punishing Octagón with a series of heavy gutwrench suplexes and a brutal corner splash. The Aztec Warriors quickly answer back with their signature aerial precision. Octagón executes a beautiful springboard cutter on Drake, making a hot tag to Laredo Kid. The Warriors hit the ropes simultaneously, executing spectacular, synchronized suicide dives through the ropes that wipe out Drake and Cassidy on the outside floor, sending the crowd into a frenzy.

Back inside the ring, Laredo Kid scales the turnbuckle, setting up for a definitive 450 splash on Eli Drake. However, before he can take flight, Aaron Stevens suddenly emerges from the crowd, running down the ramp out of the referee's line of sight. Stevens violently shoves Laredo Kid off the top rope, causing him to crash brutally onto the ring apron. Seeing the blatant outside interference, the referee has no choice but to frantically ring the bell, calling for an immediate match stoppage.

Winners by Disqualification: The Aztec Warriors


The bell rings, but the violence does not stop. Eli Drake, Orange Cassidy, and Aaron Stevens immediately launch into a coordinated, ruthless post-match assault on the dazed Aztec Warriors. Stevens punishes Octagón Jr. with a steel chair, while Drake and Cassidy systematically dismantle Laredo Kid with a series of heavy boots and a double-team suplex right into the canvas.

Suddenly, the arena graphics flash as the explosive theme of the Lucha Bros hits the speakers.

The crowd explodes into a deafening roar as Rey Fénix and Pentagón Jr. come running out from the back, weapons in hand, sprinting down the ramp like a house on fire. Seeing the lethal reinforcement arriving, the cowards of The Algorithm instantly scatter, rolling out of the ring and retreating through the crowd. Penta and Fénix stand tall in the ring, checking on their fallen comrades while aggressively gesturing toward the retreating heels.

We get a promotional video for the upcoming EAM PPV " A Cut Above " which will be live from Dickies Arana in Fort Worth, Texas, and the first matchup for the event is already official, as Bella Twins will get their well deserved rematch against Nia Jax and Piper Niven for The EAM Women's Tag Team Championships. And there will be no excuses this time. No chickening out or bending the rules from the champions. We get a short promo from Nikki and Brie as well, where they bring up the fact that the only reason Nia and Piper is still champions, is because they understood they had finally met a duo capable of dethroning them, and chickened out, abusing the rule about titles not changing hands on a count-out. At freaking Grandslam! Let that sink in! The EAM fans doesn't want closet champions, chickening out and cheating their way to victory. They want fighting champs, who give it all for those straps! Your time as champions might have been a long and dominant one, but it comes to and end now, by the hands of The Bella Twins!

EAM Television Championship Matchup
Hook (c) Vs Rex Steiner

The tension inside the arena is thick as the reigning EAM Television Champion, Hook, defends his title against the explosive, unbridled powerhouse Rex Steiner. The referee calls for the bell, and Steiner immediately seeks to assert his amateur wrestling dominance, executing a thunderous double-leg takedown that slams Hook hard onto the canvas. Steiner follows up with a series of rapid, heavy short-arm clotheslines, looking to overwhelm the young champion early on.

Hook showcases his elite judo background and signature resilience, fighting back to his feet. He counters a charging Steiner with a flawless sweep, transitioning directly into a tight, grounding submission hold targeting Steiner’s left shoulder. Steiner roars in pain, utilizing his immense raw power to lift Hook completely off the mat and drive him back-first into the turnbuckle padding to force a break.

The match reaches a brutal war of attrition as the minutes tick away. Steiner delivers a devastating running powerslam that yields a razor-close two and nine-tenths near-fall. Frustrated, Steiner backs into the corner, letting out a primal scream as he sets up for his definitive spear.

Suddenly, the heavy, ominous classical symphony of WALTER echoes through the arena PA system.

The crowd gasps as "The Ring General" slowly walks out onto the entrance stage. WALTER does not interfere in the matchup in any way; he simply stands tall at the top of the ramp, his arms crossed, his cold, piercing gaze fixed entirely on the ring. However, his imposing presence completely distracts both men inside the squared circle. Hook looks toward the stage, remembering his past loss, while Rex Steiner pauses his charge, momentarily thrown off by the giant's arrival.

Seizing the absolute microsecond of hesitation, Hook showcases his world-class championship instincts. As Steiner turns his head back toward his opponent, Hook strikes like a cobra. He ducks under an improvised clothesline from Steiner, slips behind his back, and flawlessly locks in the suffocating Redrum submission hold dead in the center of the ring. Hook wraps his legs tightly around Steiner's torso, pulling back with immense leverage.

Steiner fights wildly, trying to reach the ropes, but his vision quickly fades under the agonizing pressure. With WALTER watching coldly from the stage, Rex Steiner passes out completely in the hold. The referee checks Steiner's arm three times before calling for the bell, granting Hook the definitive victory.

Winner and STILL EAM Television Champion: Hook

Before our next match we get a recap video from Fight For Glory next, with all the highlights from the two nights.

Tag Team Matchup
Hardy Boyz Vs Adam Cole & Jay White

The nostalgic energy of the EAM Universe is fully behind Matt and Jeff Hardy as they stand across the ring from the elite, sinister duo of Adam Cole and "The Switchblade" Jay White. The match opens at a blistering pace, with Jeff Hardy utilizing his signature high-flying agility to level Adam Cole with a spectacular poetry in motion off the back of his brother Matt. Cole stumbles backward, tagging in Jay White, who instantly shifts the tone to pure, methodical violence.

White targets Matt Hardy's lower back, utilizing a series of brutal, high-angle backbreakers and a tight chin-lock to isolate the veteran from his brother. White and Cole showcase world-class heel teamwork, utilizing frequent tags and underhanded double-teaming to keep Matt grounded. Cole delivers a ferocious shining wizard that leaves Matt gasping for air on the canvas, yielding a razor-close two-count.

Matt finds his second wind, countering an encroaching Jay White with a sudden, desperation Side Effect that leaves both men down. Matt crawls frantically, making the hot tag to Jeff Hardy. Jeff enters like a house on fire, clearing the apron and leveling both opponents with a spectacular double Whisper in the Wind off the top turnbuckle. The crowd is completely unglued as Jeff hits a sudden Twist of Fate on Adam Cole.

Jeff scales the top rope, standing tall as he prepares to unleash the match-ending Swanton Bomb.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, "The Villain" Marty Scurll emerges from the crowd, entirely out of the referee's line of sight. Scurll runs up the steps and violently pushes Jeff Hardy off the turnbuckle, causing him to crash brutally onto the ring apron outside. Matt tries to slide in to avenge his brother, but Jay White capitalizes instantly on the utter chaos. White catches a dazed Matt Hardy from behind, executing a neck-snapping Blade Runner directly into the canvas. White covers Matt while Cole aggressively holds Jeff back on the outside floor, securing the dirty victory.

Winners: Adam Cole & Jay White

The bell rings, but the real explosion happens immediately after. A furious Matt Hardy recovers, realizing exactly how they were robbed. Security guards instantly swarm the ring as Matt goes completely off his hinges, screaming a barrage of heavy profanities directly at a smirking Marty Scurll on the ramp.

Inside the ring, a bruised but pumped Jeff Hardy has to forcefully hold his brother Matt back, throwing his arms around him to prevent him from charging through the sea of security guards who are doing their absolute best to separate the two factions. The camera captures Matt’s raw, veins-popping rage as he vows absolute destruction on Scurll, creating a chaotic final image as the broadcast abruptly cuts to a commercial break. This is far from over.

EAM Women's Championship Matchup
Julia Hart (c) Vs Skye Blue


The historic, deeply personal rivalry between the reigning EAM Women's Champion, Julia Hart, and the challenger, Skye Blue, reaches its absolute boiling point. The referee raises the championship gold, the bell rings, and the emotional explosion is instantaneous. Julia doesn't wait for a traditional lockup; she storms across the canvas, unloading a heavy barrage of stiff forearm smashes that drive Skye back into the turnbuckles. Hart channels her dark, aggressive style into a brutal running clothesline, followed by a vicious snapping suplex for an early two-count.

Skye Blue quickly showcases why she is a top-tier competitor, utilizing her signature agility to counter an encroaching Julia with a crisp matrix evasion. Skye returns to her feet, delivering a devastating superkick straight to Hart's jaw. The champion stumbles, and Skye takes flight, hitting the ropes to unleash a spectacular, high-flying diving crossbody off the top turnbuckle onto Julia outside on the floor.

The match shifts into a breathless, world-class sequence of near-falls and hyper-technical counters. Hart targets Skye's lower back, violently dropping her across the steel ring steps. Back inside, Julia applies a punishing, high-angle camel clutch, pulling back with immense leverage. Skye screams in pain, her body contorting under the pressure, but the roaring crowd fuels her resilience. Skye fights to her feet, breaking the hold with a sharp jawbreaker.

Both women lay spent on the canvas as the referee begins his count. Staggering up at seven, they trade blistering chest chops that echo like gunshots. Skye gains the upper hand, hitting a beautiful tornado DDT out of the corner for a razor-close two and nine-tenths count. Skye sets up for the Skye Fall, but before she can execute the maneuver, the iconic, high-energy opening chords of "Hardcore Country" crank through the arena speakers.

The crowd unleashes a deafening roar as the legendary Mickie James abruptly interrupts the match, walking down the ramp with a purposeful stride.

The action inside the ring grinds to a sudden halt. Mickie enters the squared circle, leading to an incredibly tense, heavy three-way standoff and stare-down dead in the center of the ring between Julia Hart, Skye Blue, and Mickie James. The silence is palpable as all three women lock eyes.

Suddenly, Mickie James strikes like a cobra, completely shattering the peace. Turning on a dime, Mickie delivers a ferocious, bone-shattering Mick Kick that completely kicks the lights out of the referee, knocking him out cold onto the canvas. Before a stunned Skye Blue can even register the attack, Mickie spins around, executing a second devastating Mick Kick straight to Skye’s jaw, flattening the challenger instantly.

The referee and Skye Blue lay completely motionless on the mat. The arena is filled with a mixture of shocked gasps and thunderous cheers. The show ends in a state of absolute, heavy suspense as Julia Hart and Mickie James stand face-to-face over the wreckage, locked in a fierce, unblinking stare-down, each woman proudly holding their respective championship titles high in the air as the broadcast goes off the air.

Episode #534


A full moon hangs over Cameron, North Carolina. The Hardy Compound is silent. The old oak trees sway despite there being no wind. Fog crawls across the ground like living smoke. The camera slowly moves down the gravel driveway before stopping outside the weathered Hardy home. A single porch light flickers, with a single moth scurrying around it.
Jeff Hardy sits alone on the wooden steps. Hood pulled over his head. His hands are clasped together. His face is hidden beneath strands of damp hair. His eyes remain fixed on the dirt below him. He doesn't move or speak. He just sits there. Breathing loudly, holding weed-trimmer in his hands....

The camera lingers for several uncomfortable seconds before footsteps echo from inside the house.

The front door creaks open amd Matt Hardy steps into the frame. His appearance is...different somehow.

His posture is rigid. His eyes are wide and all crazy looking.

Sleep has abandoned him.

He slowly walks onto the porch before stopping beside his younger brother.

Matt Hardy:
"Brother Nero! They have mistaken perseverance...for weakness."

A long pause.

"They have mistaken mercy...for surrender."

Matt slowly turns toward the darkness surrounding the Compound.

"And that..."

He smiles.

"...is the greatest error they shall ever make."

Jeff remains motionless as Matt begins pacing the porch.

"They stole victories."

"They mocked our name."

"They poisoned every opportunity that was laid before us."

"Every chance to restore the legacy that has echoed through professional wrestling for decades."

His breathing becomes heavier...

"And for what?"

"So The Bullet Club could continue pretending they are untouchable?"

A laugh escapes him. Very cold, and very sharp. Almost unnatural somehow...

"No..."

"They are not untouchable."

"They are merely...waiting."

"Waiting for someone willing to drag them into the abyss they have created."

Matt stops and his eyes lock directly into the camera.

"I have looked into that abyss."

"It looked back..."

"...and it welcomed me home."

A beat.... almost like a beating heart...

"They believe they are hunters."

"They believe they are architects."

"They believe they have written the ending to our story."

His smile widens.

"But endings..."

"...can always be rewritten."

Jeff finally raises his head. His eyes are hollow and tired. He looks at his brother, but says nothing. Matt notices, and for just a moment, his expression softens.

"You carry the burden differently, Brother."

"I know."

"I can see the storm behind your eyes."

"They have wounded you."

"They have chipped away at your spirit."

"But I swear..."

"They shall never extinguish it."

Jeff lowers his head once again, saying nothing. The silence that follows are eerie... Matt slowly steps off the porch and walks toward the twisted willow tree standing at the edge of the property. The camera follows as Matt spreads out his hands, almost like a preacher at church.

"The Bullet Club has infected EAM."

"And the sickness spreads through deception."

"Through shortcuts."

"Through arrogance."

"They corrupt everyone they touch."

"But every sickness..."

"...has a cure."

Matt stops beneath the tree and wraps his arms around it.

"And that cure..."

"...is retribution."

He slowly removes an old steel pocket watch from his coat. The glass covering its face is cracked and the hands no longer move. He stares at it for some time before closing it.

CLICK.

"Marty Scurll!"

"You parade yourself as a villain."

"You wear the title as though darkness itself chose you."

"You manipulate."

"You deceive."

"You smile while others suffer."

"But Villains..."

"...always believe they are the smartest person in the room."

"They never realize..."

"...they have walked directly into the trap."

A gust of wind rushes through the trees, and we can hear the weathercock on top of the barn creak.

"The Compound has stood here long before your games."

"It shall remain long after your kingdom crumbles."

"I have buried pain beneath this soil."

"I have buried failure."

"I have buried doubt."

"And now..."

"My next burial..."

"...shall be your illusion of greatness."

Matt steps closer to the camera. His eyes are almost unrecognizable now. Almost calm, yet completely unhinged.

"You wished to break The Hardy Boyz"

A grin stretches across his face.

"You succeeded."

"But what emerged..."

"...cannot be controlled."

"...cannot be reasoned with."

"...and cannot be defeated."

Matt leans in until only his eyes fill the screen.

"I am no longer fighting for victories."

"I am fighting for absolution."

"And those who stands in my way, will discover what becomes of those who force a broken man to embrace what he truly is!"

The porch light suddenly shatters and darkness consumes the compound. The only thing heard is the distant sound of a raven cawing somewhere beyond the trees....

Then laughter......

And the sound of a weed-wacher being turned on...

The scene fades and we cut to the Jamboree vignette.....

--------------------

The Imperial March" echoes throughout the arena

We are in the arena as the crowd rises for WALTER as he walks onto the stage, the Ornate Prime Championship resting heavily over his shoulder.

He doesn't acknowledge the fans.

He doesn't play to the cameras.

He simply walks to the ring with the confidence of a man who believes he stands above everyone else.

Once inside the ring, he slowly raises the championship high into the air before requesting a microphone.

WALTER:
"There are championships..."

"...and then there is the Ornate Prime Championship."

He rests the title on his shoulder once again.

"This championship has never belonged to the loudest."

"It has never belonged to the most charismatic."

"It belongs to the strongest."

"The most disciplined."

"The man capable of enduring punishment...and delivering even more."

A pause.

"For years, only a select few have proven worthy."

"Kenny Omega, Adam Cole, Donovan Dijakovic and Angelico...."

"But only three men has held the title more than once..."

"Claudio Castagnoli."

"Keith Lee."

"And Myself."

"Each of us has held this championship twice."

"Each of us has defined an era."

"But there is only one difference."

WALTER places a hand on the championship.

"I stand here today."

"I conquered Claudio Castagnoli."

"I reclaimed what was always destined to return to me."

"And now..."

"There is no one left."

"No challenger."

"No contender."

"No man capable of taking this championship from my possession."

The crowd suddenly erupts as music cranks the arena speakers.

"BASK IN MY GLORY!"

A smile slowly forms on WALTER's face. Mot one of joy, but of recognition.

Keith Lee steps onto the stage. And it seems that months away have done nothing to diminish his presence. He stands at the top of the ramp, soaking in the reaction before locking eyes with the champion.

Neither man moves.

Neither man speaks.

Finally, Keith lifts a microphone.

Keith Lee:
"You know..."

"It's remarkable."

"You spoke of history."

"You spoke of greatness."

"And yet..."

"...you forgot the most important part."

Keith begins walking toward the ring.

"The last chapter between Keith Lee and WALTER..."

"...was never finished."

He climbs through the ropes.

The two giants now stand only inches apart.

Keith Lee:
"Three years ago..."

"You defeated me."

"I will never make excuses for that."

"You were the better man."

"But time..."

"...has a fascinating way of creating new opportunities."

Keith glances at the Ornate Prime Championship.

"You claim there is no one left."

"I disagree."

"I've returned because I refuse to let the story of this championship be told..."

"...without my name written across its next chapter."

WALTER chuckles quietly.

WALTER:
"You return after months away..."

"...and expect to stand before me as though nothing has changed."

"It has."

"I have become greater."

"I have become more dangerous."

"And if you still carry memories of what happened three years ago..."

"I assure you..."

"...the ending will be exactly the same."

Keith smiles.

Keith Lee:
"Perhaps."

"...or perhaps..."

"...this time..."

"...you will be the one..."

"...basking in my glory."

The crowd roars.

Neither man throws a punch.

Neither man blinks.

WALTER slowly raises the Ornate Prime Championship between them. As the segment fades to black and we get a promotional video for the upcoming PPV " A Cut Above " from Fort Worth in Texas...


Tag Team Matchup
Triple C & Chad Gable Vs Above The Rest (Gabriel Skye & Ikuro Kwon)

We get a promotional video from Logan Paul next, where he is adressing Mr. Beast, and the stuff that he wrote about Logan Paul and The rest of the guys in The Algorithm last week in social media. The matter of fact is that Logan couldn't really care less about what Mr. Beast thinks, but he's just so damn annoying. And it reached it's peak last week when he trashtalked Logan and his friends. Logan goes on, talking about how he owns more money in a week than Mr. Beast's whole bank account. As a matter of fact, since Mr. Beast is famous for throwing away money, and think's he's got what it takes to talk down Logan, his friends and this business, maybe it's time to " Put your money where your mouth is?! "

Singles Matchup
John Morrison Vs Will Ospreay

As we get back from commercial break we go backstage where we hook up with Kenny Omega as he is about to get interviewed by Alicia Atout. Alicia congratulate Omega on his win over Velveteen Dream, asking Omega that it had to feel nice, after all he has been trough these last months? First being thrown out of The Bullet Club, then being cursed by Danhausen. Then losig to The Invisible Man at Grandslam 18....

Omega:
Enough!

Suddenly a voice comes from behind them.

Shawn Michaels:
"Funny...."

"Because I was just about to say the same thing."

Omega turns to see Shawn Michaels leaning against a crate.

Omega:
"What do tou want? You here to tell me it gets better?"

Shawn:
"No."

"I'm here because I've been where you are."

"You start believing one bad night becomes two."

"Then two becomes ten."

"And before you know it...people stop talking about who you are."

"They start talking about who you used to be."

Kenny smirks.

Omega:
"Funny coming from a guy who's risking retirement every time he steps into the ring these days."

Shawn:
"That's exactly why I'm still standing here."

"I don't have tomorrow promised to me."

"So every match..."

"...I make it count."

Kenny stands, hands akimbo. The two men are now face-to-face.

Omega:
"I don't need advice."

"I need an opportunity."

"And right now...everyone in this company sees Kenny Omega as damaged goods."

"I need one match."

"One win."

"Against someone whose name actually means something around here!"

A slow clap suddenøy echoes through the hallway.

Both men turn to see the General Manager; Randy Orton stepping into the frame, with a grin on his face.

Orton:
" You guys might not know it, but you just booked yourself for the upcoming PPV "

Michaels and Omega looks at each other, then back at Orton.

Orton:
" You both need it, the stakes are high, but the prize is also big "

Orton takes a little walk, circling the two men, while explaining the situation to both of them.

Orton:
" So, here is the deal guys. There is not that I don't like you. Hell, you are two of the greatest performancers that this business ever saw. But times change, and we need to make way for new things, for better things. So, here is what will happen. At the upcoming PPV, there will be Shawn Michaels Vs Kenny Omega. A match that should have any real wrestling fan cum in their pants. And the stakes? If Shawn loses, he must retire. If Omega loses, he must leave EAM... "

Both men are are dead still for a second before Omega is about to complain but Orton cut's him short.

Orton:
" And the prize? A shot at the EAM World Heavyweight Championship! "

Michaels and Omega looks at each other again and smirks, before both men shakes Orton's hand. We cut back to the arena for our main event of the evening...

Tag Team Matchup: Triple C & Chad Gable vs. Above The Rest (Gabriel Skye & Ikuro Kwon)

The arena erupts as Henry Cejudo—Triple C—and Chad Gable march down the ramp, exuding Olympic-level arrogance. Across the ring, Gabriel Skye and Ikuro Kwon bounce on their toes, eager to disrupt the wrestling royalty.

Skye opens fast, utilizing his aerial agility to confuse Gable, but Chad quickly grounds him with a textbook waist-lock takedown. Gable tags in Cejudo, who immediately cuts the ring in half with relentless mat wrestling. Kwon gains a blind tag, catching Cejudo off-guard with a sweeping dragon screw and a series of stiff kicks to the spine. Above The Rest take control, utilizing swift double-team tactics to wear down Triple C in their corner.

Kwon locks in a brutal grounded octopus stretch, but Cejudo drives his elbow into Kwon’s thigh to escape and hits a low-center-of-gravity German suplex. Both men make frantic tags. Gable enters like a house on fire, catching Skye mid-air with a catch-belly-to-belly suplex, then dropping Kwon with a chaos theory suplex.

Skye scrambles back up, targeting Gable with a spring-board cutter, but Cejudo leaps into the ring, catching Skye on his shoulders for a mid-air Olympic slam! Kwon rushes in to retaliate, but Gable executes a dropkick to flush him out to floor. With Skye stunned in the center, Gable wrenches in the Ankle Lock while Cejudo guards the ropes. Skye desperately reaches for the bottom rope, but Gable rolls through, pulling him back to the center until Skye slams his hand on the canvas in defeat.

Winners: Triple C & Chad Gable

Singles Matchup
John Morrison Vs Will Ospreay

The bell rings and the atmosphere turns electric as two of the most innovative aerialists in wrestling history lock eyes. Morrison glides into a bow, while Ospreay responds with a sharp martial arts stance. They open with an explosive sequence of reversals—sweeps, handspring dodges, and synchronized backflips—ending in a dual-hero landing that draws a standing ovation from the crowd.

Morrison strikes first with a Parkour-inspired springboard spin-kick, sending Ospreay tumbling outside. Without breaking stride, Morrison vaults off the top turnbuckle with a dazzling Asai Moonsault to the floor. Back inside, Morrison keeps the pressure on, locking in a standing neckbreaker and driving a knee into Ospreay’s spine for a close two-count.

Ospreay turns the tide with pure speed. Rebound-off-the-ropes, he hits a Handspring Enzuigiri, following up with a terrifying Pip Pip Cheerio springboard forearm. The momentum surges as Ospreay lifts Morrison for the Stormbreaker, but Morrison counters mid-air into a Russian Legsweep, immediately rolling through into the Moonlight Drive. 1... 2... Ospreay kicks out by a fraction of an inch.

Desperate to finish it, Morrison climbs the turnbuckle for Starship Pain. He leaps, but Ospreay rolls out of the way! Morrison lands on his feet, spins, and eats a devastating Spanish Fly from Ospreay out of nowhere. Both men trade grueling forearms on their knees, pushing through pure exhaustion. Morrison rocks Ospreay with a spin kick, charges the ropes, but Ospreay counters with a lightning-fast OsCutter!

The crowd is on its feet as Morrison miraculously kicks out at two and nine-tenths! Ospreay doesn't waste a second. He pulls down his elbow pad, signaling the end. As Morrison slowly struggles to his feet, Ospreay springs off the ropes and smashes him with a brutal Hidden Blade across the back of the neck. Ospreay hooks both legs, staring up at the lights as the referee hits the three-count.

Winner: Will Ospreay

Tag Team Matchup
reDragon Vs Aztec Warriors

The bell hits and a heavy tension fills the arena as Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish bring their disciplined, martial-arts style to face the unpredictable, explosive force of the Aztec Warriors.

Fish kicks off the action, taking down the lead Warrior with targeted leg kicks aimed at destroying his base. The Warriors, relying on rapid-fire tag team coordination, break the rhythm with a sudden double-hip toss and a synchronized basement dropkick that sends Fish scurrying to his corner. O'Reilly tags in, instantly bringing a cerebral calm to the ring. He locks up with the Aztec Warrior, transitioning effortlessly from a wrist lock to a hammerlock, but the Warrior uses the ropes to launch into a arm-drag, following up with a springboard crossbody that catches O'Reilly off guard.

The Warriors isolate O'Reilly, using high-flying maneuvers to keep the submission specialist off his feet. However, reDragon’s veteran instinct kicks in. During an Irish whip, Fish subtly pulls down the top rope, spilling the legal Aztec Warrior to the outside. O'Reilly follows with a running knee strike off the apron, shifts the momentum entirely.

Inside, reDragon dissects their opponent with surgical precision—alternating chest kicks, knee strikes, and joint-manipulation locks. The Aztec Warrior desperately fights back, catching Fish with an enzuigiri and making a hot tag. The fresh Aztec Warrior clears the apron, executing a spectacular corkscrew dive over the ring post onto Fish, then hits O'Reilly with a dynamic springboard DDT in the ring for a thrilling 2.9-count!

Chaos ensues as all four men brawl inside the squared circle. The Aztec Warriors look to set up their double-team finisher, but Fish sweeps the legs of the partner on the apron. O'Reilly catches the remaining Warrior mid-air into a guillotine choke, quickly transitioning into a brainbuster. Fish rushes back in to execute the High-Low combination—Fish with the sweep, O'Reilly with the clothesline. O'Reilly hooks the leg tightly, barely holding down the kick-out as the referee counts three just as the partner breaks the cover a second too late.

Winners: reDragon

Episode #96


There is only Static and silence before the picture slowly fades in.

At first... nothing makes sense.

The room has no walls.

Or maybe it does. Who knows?

The darkness seems endless, yet somehow enclosed. A lone wooden chair sits in the middle of the void beneath a single flickering light hanging from... somewhere. The light sways despite there being no wind.

The buzzing of electricity is deafening.

Tiny moths endlessly circle the bulb.

A woman sits in the chair with her back to the camera.

Long blonde hair coming from underneath a black hat.

Her head is lowered, and her hands are folded nearly in her lap.

She doesn't move. The only sound is the distant sound of something that could be a beating heart.

Ten seconds pass...

Fifteen...

Twenty...

Then finally...

Mickie James:
"...Do you know what the scariest part about becoming someone else is?"

The voice is unmistakably Mickie's.

"You never notice when it happens."

"You don't wake up one morning..."

"...and decide to stop being you."

"It happens slowly."

"So slowly..."

"...that by the time you look in the mirror..."

"...the stranger staring back already knows your name."

She slowly stands.

"The downfall doesn't begin with violence."

"It doesn't begin with betrayal."

"It begins..."

"...with permission."

"You give yourself permission."

"Just this once."

"Just one lie."

"Just one shortcut."

"Just one person standing in your way."

She finally begins turning toward the camera.

The light flickers.

Halfway through the turn...

The audience freezes.

Mickie isn't dressed like herself.

Black hat.

Black lace.

Dark eye makeup stretching around her eyes.

A blonde wig.

Her hair styled almost identically like.....

She isn't Julia Hart.

But she's close enough to make your stomach turn.

She smiles.

"I wondered what it felt like."

"To wear your face."

"To think your thoughts."

"To listen..."

"...to that little voice telling you..."

"You're right."

"You're justified."

"You're special."

She tilts her head.

"It's intoxicating."

"I almost believed it."

Her smile vanishes instantly.

"But then I remembered something."

"I've met you before."

"Not you, Julia..."

"...your kind."

"The ones who mistake ambition for destiny."

"The ones who think hurting people is the same as becoming stronger."

"The ones who convince themselves that monsters are always somebody else."

A moth burns itself against the bulb.

"And every single one of them..."

"...ended exactly the same."

She slowly removes the hat.

"You wanted my place."

"I understand."

"You wanted my spotlight."

"I understand."

"You wanted to erase me."

She lets out a quiet laugh.

"That's the mistake."

"Because even if you'd took me out of action for good. You would never be able to erase the " Legend " that is Mickie James! "

She begins walking toward the camera.

"And then there is Skye...."

She almost sounds disappointed.

"I saw the way she looked at you."

"Like sisters."

"Like family."

"I warned her."

"I warned both of you."

"Friendship isn't armor."

"It's the softest place on the body."

"The easiest place to slide the knife."

"But neither of you listened."

"You taught Skye how betrayal works."

"And when she threw you over that top rope..."

"...for one beautiful second..."

"...you finally understood the lesson."

She leans in.

"The funny thing about betrayal..."

"...is that the first victim is never the last."

"You looked at Skye..."

"...and saw your future."

"She looked at you..."

"...and saw hers."

The flickering becomes more violent.

"And now both of you carry championships."

"Metal."

"Leather."

"Gold."

"You clutch them so tightly."

"As though they can keep the darkness out."

She laughs softly.

"They can't."

"Championships don't protect people."

"They expose them."

"They strip away every excuse."

"They make whispers louder."

"They make fear heavier."

"They make loneliness impossible to ignore."

She slowly wipes a thumb beneath one eye, smearing the dark makeup.

"Julia..."

"Do you know why I wore your face tonight?"

Long pause.

"Because I wanted you to see what I see."

"I wanted you to know..."

"...that beneath the paint..."

"...beneath the smile..."

"...beneath the championship..."

"I can't tell where you end..."

"...and the thing controlling you begins."

She steps so close that only her face fills the screen.

"When I look at you..."

"I don't see a champion."

"I don't even see an enemy."

"I see someone standing at the edge of a cliff..."

"...telling herself she's learned how to fly."

Another pause.

"Trust me when I say that I know how it is to fall when you feel like you're on the top of the world..."

"Tust me when I say that I know what waits at the bottom..."

"You don't Julia..."

Her smile returns. Almost like an evil grin.

"But you will....."

"And in the meantime..."

The light abruptly goes out, putting the scene in complete darkness.

For a moment... only breathing... and the sound of a beating heart...

"Sleep well, Julia."

"I'll see you in your dreams."

Static....

Scene cut's to the Spotlight vignette...


Beth and Jillian welcomes us to the 96th epiode of Spotlight, and they can tell us that in tonights main event, Jade Cargill will get her rematch against Lash Legend for The Primetime Bitch Championship. Will Jade take back her title and prove that her loss against Lash at Grandslam was a fluke, or will Lash prove that her win over Jade at Grandslam and her title defence against Kris Statlander at Fight For Glory was only the beginning of a long and solid reign? But before that, let's take it to Melissa for our first matchup of the evening.


Tag Team Matchup
Deonna Purrazzo & Tessa Blanchard Vs Raquel Rodriguez & Stephanie Vaquer


We go backstage where Skye Blue is sitting alone in an empty locker room. Her hair is still slightly disheveled. There is a faint bruise visible along her jaw from Mickie's attack. She stares at the floor for several seconds before finally looking up.

Skye Blue:
"Where do I even start?"

"Because the last few weeks..."

"...have been a nightmare."

"I betrayed my best friend."

"She took the championship from me."

"I finally got my rematch..."

"...and then Mickie James decided she was going to make it about her."

Skye shakes her head.

"I'll own what I did to Julia."

"I don't need excuses."

"I made a choice."

"I threw her over that top rope at Grandslam because, at that moment, I wanted that championship more than I wanted our friendship."

"And I paid for it."

"Julia beat me."

"She took the title."

"Fine."

"That's wrestling."

"But what happened last week?"

Her expression hardens.

"That wasn't wrestling."

"Mickie..."

"You didn't beat me."

"You didn't outsmart me."

"You didn't prove that you're better than me."

"You attacked me."

"You attacked the referee."

"And you took away the one thing I had left."

"My rematch."

She stands.

"You can call yourself a legend."

"You can talk about experience."

"You can play your little mind games."

"But don't you dare stand there and pretend what you did was justified."

"I was coming for Julia."

"That was my fight."

"My opportunity."

"My mistake to make."

"You had no right to take it from me."

She pauses.

"And Julia..."

Skye gives a bitter laugh.

"Don't think I've forgotten about you either."

"You and I..."

"...we're not finished."

"Maybe we never will be."

"But right now, Mickie has made one very big mistake."

"Because she didn't just hurt me."

"She didn't just cost me a championship."

"She gave me someone to blame."

Skye looks directly into the camera.

"So enjoy your little victory, Mickie."

"Enjoy standing beside Julia."

"Enjoy making everyone believe you're the one pulling the strings."

"Because sooner or later..."

"...I'm coming for both of you."

She takes a breath.

"And next time..."

"...nobody is taking my opportunity away from me!"

We cut back to the arena for our next match...


Singles Matchup
Charlotte Flair w/Alexa Bliss Vs Bianca Belair w/Sasha Banks


As we get back from commercial break we go backstage where we hook up with The EAM Women's Champion. Julia Hart walks briskly through the hallway with the EAM Women's Championship slung over her shoulder. She doesn't acknowledge anyone she passes, her expression distant, clearly preoccupied.

As she rounds a corner...

THUD!

She walks straight into Chelsea Green.

Chelsea Green: "Whoa! Easy there, Champ!"

Chelsea steadies herself before looking down at the championship on Julia's shoulder.

Chelsea Green: "...Okay."

She squints.

"Can I just say..."

"...that belt would look so good on me."

Julia slowly turns her head toward Chelsea, completely unimpressed.

Julia Hart: "...Move."

Chelsea Green: "Seriously, though."

"I've been thinking about it."

"I beat AJ Lee."

"I'm basically on the hottest streak in EAM."

"I mean... people are talking."

Chelsea grins.

"Mostly me."

"But still."

Julia sighs.

Julia Hart: "Are you done?"

Chelsea Green: "Not even close."

She points at the championship.

"I've already imagined my entrance with that title."

"I've imagined my victory speech."

"Oh! And the photo shoot?"

"It's going to be amazing."

"I'm thinking gold confetti..."

"...maybe a white horse."

Julia blinks.

Julia Hart: "...A horse."

Chelsea Green: "Too much?"

She thinks for a second.

"No..."

"Two horses."

Julia closes her eyes for a brief moment, visibly questioning every life decision that brought her to this conversation.

Julia Hart: "I don't have time for this."

Julia starts to walk away.

Chelsea calls after her.

Chelsea Green: "Hey!"

Julia doesn't stop.

Chelsea Green: "Just remember..."

"When you're done with... whatever spooky existential crisis you've got going on..."

She points at herself with both thumbs.

"...I'm right here."

"And honestly..."

She flashes a huge smile.

"I'd wear that title way better than you."

Julia doesn't even look back.

She simply raises one hand dismissively as she disappears around the corner.

Chelsea watches her leave.

She shrugs.

Chelsea Green: "...She'll come around."

Chelsea looks directly into the camera.

"That belt really would look incredible on me."

She gives herself a confident nod before walking off in the opposite direction as we cut back to the arena for our main event that was announced by Beth and Jillian earlier...

- Kamille interferes

[Vikingsfan88]

Episode #96


There is only Static and silence before the picture slowly fades in.

At first... nothing makes sense.

The room has no walls.

Or maybe it does. Who knows?

The darkness seems endless, yet somehow enclosed. A lone wooden chair sits in the middle of the void beneath a single flickering light hanging from... somewhere. The light sways despite there being no wind.

The buzzing of electricity is deafening.

Tiny moths endlessly circle the bulb.

A woman sits in the chair with her back to the camera.

Long blonde hair coming from underneath a black hat.

Her head is lowered, and her hands are folded nearly in her lap.

She doesn't move. The only sound is the distant sound of something that could be a beating heart.

Ten seconds pass...

Fifteen...

Twenty...

Then finally...

Mickie James:
"...Do you know what the scariest part about becoming someone else is?"

The voice is unmistakably Mickie's.

"You never notice when it happens."

"You don't wake up one morning..."

"...and decide to stop being you."

Tag Team Matchup
Deonna Purrazzo & Tessa Blanchard Vs Raquel Rodriguez & Stephanie Vaquer

Tag Team Matchup
Deonna Purrazzo & Tessa Blanchard vs. Raquel Rodriguez & Stephanie Vaquer

The bell rings, and tension immediately crackles on both sides of the ring. Stephanie Vaquer and Deonna Purrazzo start, exchanging crisp chain wrestling. Vaquer snaps off a arm-drag, but Purrazzo counters into a side headlock before tagging in Tessa Blanchard. Tessa enters with aggressive intensity, driving forearm smashes into Vaquer’s chest. Vaquer escapes a suplex attempt and tags in the powerhouse Raquel Rodriguez.

Raquel dominates instantly, using her massive height advantage to isolate Tessa with turnbuckle thrusts and a devastating fallaway slam. Purrazzo desperately reaches for a tag, but Tessa stubbornly refuses, trying to overpower Raquel herself—only to be caught in a terrifying bearhug. Vaquer tags back in, launching off the top rope with a cross-body onto Tessa for a close two-count.

As the match reaches its climax, Raquel lifts Tessa for the Tejana Bomb, but Purrazzo blind-tags herself in, slapping Tessa’s back. Raquel tosses Tessa aside, unaware of the tag, and turns straight into Purrazzo, who locks in the Fujiwara Armbar out of nowhere. Raquel thrashes, trying to reach the ropes, but Vaquer charges in to break the hold.

Seeing Vaquer incoming, Tessa springs up and instinctively hits Vaquer with a Buzzsaw Kick. However, Tessa’s momentum causes her to stumble backward, inadvertently stepping directly on Purrazzo’s hand. The sudden pain causes Purrazzo to wrench the armbar with frantic, desperate force. Caught off guard by the violent surge, Raquel taps out instantly.

The bell rings. Against all odds, Deonna Purrazzo and Tessa Blanchard win.

The referee raises their hands, but Purrazzo shoves Tessa away, shouting, "You almost ruined everything! Watch your damn feet!" Tessa gets right in her face, snarls, "I saved you, you selfish bitch!"

Before another word is traded, Raquel and Vaquer ambush them from behind. Raquel hurls Tessa out of the ring, while Vaquer executes a brutal Package Backbreaker on Purrazzo, leaving the victors broken in the center of the ring.

We go backstage where Skye Blue is sitting alone in an empty locker room. Her hair is still slightly disheveled. There is a faint bruise visible along her jaw from Mickie's attack. She stares at the floor for several seconds before finally looking up.

Skye Blue:
"Where do I even start?"

"Because the last few weeks..."

"...have been a nightmare."

"You didn't outsmart me."

"You didn't prove that you're better than me."

"You attacked me."

"You attacked the referee."

"And you took away the one thing I had left."

"My rematch."

She stands.

"You can call yourself a legend."

"You can talk about experience."

"You can play your little mind games."

"But don't you dare stand there and pretend what you did was justified."

"I was coming for Julia."

"That was my fight."

"My opportunity."

"My mistake to make."

"You had no right to take it from me."

She pauses.

"And Julia..."

Skye gives a bitter laugh.

"Don't think I've forgotten about you either."

"You and I..."

"...we're not finished."

"Maybe we never will be."

"But right now, Mickie has made one very big mistake."

"So enjoy your little victory, Mickie."

"Enjoy standing beside Julia."

"Enjoy making everyone believe you're the one pulling the strings."

"Because sooner or later..."

"...I'm coming for both of you."

She takes a breath.

"And next time..."

"...nobody is taking my opportunity away from me!"

We cut back to the arena for our next match...


Singles Matchup
Charlotte Flair w/Alexa Bliss Vs Bianca Belair w/Sasha Banks

The crowd explodes as the bell rings for this dream encounter. Bianca Belair asserts her athleticism early, leapfrogging over Charlotte Flair and catching her with a dropkick that sends the "Queen" retreating to the outside. Sasha Banks offers words of encouragement to Bianca, while Alexa Bliss whispers a tactical adjustment to Charlotte.

Back inside, Charlotte targets Bianca’s leg with relentless knee-breakers and a dragon screw legwhip. Bianca fights back with sheer power, planting Charlotte with a delayed vertical suplex. The action spills outside, where Sasha stands guard to keep Alexa at bay. Bianca tosses Charlotte back into the ring and goes for the K.O.D., but Charlotte slips out, landing a big boot for a near fall.

Bianca rallies, hitting a spinebuster and climbing the top turnbuckle for a 450 Splash. Seeing the danger, Alexa quietly slides toward the ring apron and grabs Bianca’s braid behind the referee’s back. Sasha rushes over to pull Alexa away, sparking a chaotic brawl on the outside between the two ringside companions.

The referee steps toward the ropes to break up Sasha and Alexa's melee. Taking full advantage of the distraction, Alexa reaches into her jacket, pulls out a brass knuckle set, and hands it straight up to Charlotte. Charlotte strikes Bianca directly in the temple with the brass knuckles, quickly throwing them out of the ring just as the referee turns back around. Charlotte rolls into the cover, hooks the leg, and steals the victory.

Winner: Charlotte Flair

As we get back from commercial break we go backstage where we hook up with The EAM Women's Champion. Julia Hart walks briskly through the hallway with the EAM Women's Championship slung over her shoulder. She doesn't acknowledge anyone she passes, her expression distant, clearly preoccupied.

Primetime Bitch Championship Matchup
Lash Legend (c) Vs Jade Cargill

The arena lights flicker to a deep purple as the Primetime Bitch Championship hangs in the balance. The bell rings, and Jade Cargill immediately steps to the center of the ring, flexing her sculpted frame in a showcase of raw defiance. Lash Legend steps up, matching her height inch-for-inch, trash-talking before the two behemoths lock up in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Neither woman gives an inch, turning the opening moments into a pure test of physical strength.

Jade uses her explosive momentum to shove Lash into the corner, leveling her with a series of sharp shoulder thrusts. Lash fights back, catching Jade on the turnbuckle jump with a brutal powerbomb out of nowhere that shakes the ring canvas. The champion takes control, wearing down the challenger with a tight bearhug and pounding away at Jade’s back with heavy forearm clubs. Lash drags Jade to her feet and hits a devastating sidewalk slam, covering her for a close two-count.

Jade feeds off the crowd's energy, powering out of Lash’s resthold with a surge of adrenaline. She backs Lash into the ropes, ducks a clothesline, and snaps off a towering pump kick that knocks the champion out to the arena floor. Sensing the title slipping away, Lash drags herself up using the ring steps, but Jade charges out after her, driving Lash back-first into the barricade with a bone-crunching spear.

Jade rolls Lash back into the ring and scales the ropes, looking to finish the job. She sets up for her signature Jaded, but before she can drop the champion, the arena screen flashes red as Kamille storm down the ramp.

Kamille slides under the bottom rope and instantly blindsides Jade with a devastating spear before the slam can be executed. The referee rings the bell repeatedly, calling a stop to the match and declaring it a No Contest. Lash Legend, realizing her championship is safe under the champion’s advantage, pulls herself up and shares a cold, nod of approval with Kamille. Together, they stand over the fallen Jade Cargill, with Lash raising her Primetime Bitch Championship high in the air amidst a chorus of boos.

Match ends in a non-contest after outside intefeerens

Live from Hammerstein Ballroom, New York

Episode #535


We get a very theatrical promo to start the show, showing what's been going on in the main event scene in EAM as of late, not to mention the heat between three of the most talked about individuals in the business right now. The recap shows us everything that has been going on the last couple of years, with MJF holding the title " hostage " until the glorious night at Grandslam where Joe Hendry made everyone believe in him, until CM Punk cashed in his money in the bank briefcase and " stole " not only the EAM Title, but the damn spotlight! We cut to the Jamboree vignette...


As we cut to the arena, Daniel and Nigel welcomes us to another episode of Jamboree, then they announce that at next week's tapings, there will be a rare contract signing here in EAM, as Punk, MJF and Hendry are meeting in the ring to put their names on a piece of paper that makes a triple threat match between them for The EAM World Heavyweight Championship at the upcoming PPV official! Now over to Melissa for our first matchup of the evening.


Tag Team Matchup
reDragon (Kyle O' Reilly & Bobby Fish) Vs Triple C & Chad Gable


As we get back from commercial break we go back to a arena in utter complete darkness.

For several seconds, there is nothing.

Then the familiar sound of a strange, maniacal laugh echoes throughout the building.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

The lights snap on.

Danhausen stands in the center of the ring, the EAM Intercontinental Championship strapped securely around his waist.

He slowly removes the title and looks down at it.

For once, there is no grin.

Danhausen: “Prince Devitt…”

Danhausen raises the microphone.

Danhausen: “We have done this beforehausen.”

He looks toward the entrance ramp.

Danhausen: “Twicehausen.”

Danhausen holds up two fingers.

Danhausen: “And both times…”

He pauses.

Danhausen: “…Danhausen lost.”

The crowd reacts.

Danhausen's jaw tightens.

Danhausen: “Danhausen does not like saying thathausen.”

He looks down at the championship again.

Danhausen: “Because Danhausen is supposed to be the evilhausen. Danhausen is supposed to be the dangeroushausen. Danhausen is supposed to be the one who makes people afraidhausen.”

He slowly raises his eyes.

Danhausen: “But Prince Devitt has beaten Danhausen.”

Another pause.

Danhausen: “Twice.”

Danhausen begins pacing around the ring.

Danhausen: “And that is why Danhausen has spent months following you.”

Danhausen: “Watching you.”

Danhausen: “Studying you.”

Danhausen: “Cursing you.”

Danhausen: “Because Danhausen knows there is something wrong with Prince Devitthausen.”

The crowd begins to stir.

Danhausen: “Something inside you.”

Danhausen: “Something that comes out when the man disappears…”

Danhausen's voice drops.

Danhausen: “…and The Demon takes over.”

Huge reaction.

Danhausen: “Danhausen has seen it.”

Danhausen: “Danhausen has felt it.”

Danhausen: “And Danhausen wants it.”

He taps his temple.

Danhausen: “That power.”

He taps his chest.

Danhausen: “That darkness.”

He looks down at the championship.

Danhausen: “That ability to become something morehausen.”

Danhausen suddenly smiles.

Danhausen: “But maybe Danhausen has been thinking about this all wronghausen.”

He raises the title.

Danhausen: “Maybe Danhausen doesn't need to take the power from Prince Devitt.”

Beat.

Danhausen: “Maybe Danhausen simply needs to make Prince Devitt give it uphausen.”

The screen behind him changes.

THIRD TIME.

Danhausen points toward the screen.

Danhausen: “Third encounterhausen.”

Danhausen: “EAM Intercontinental Championshiphausen.”

Danhausen: “And this time…”

He lowers the title.

Danhausen: “…there must be consequenceshausen.”

The crowd grows louder.

Danhausen: “Because Danhausen cannot afford to lose again.”

That line hangs in the air.

Danhausen looks down at the championship.

Danhausen: “Think about that, Prince Devitt.”

Danhausen: “You have already beaten Danhausen twice.”

Danhausen: “You already know you can do it.”

Danhausen: “You already know what happens when we step into that ringhausen.”

His expression becomes increasingly serious.

Danhausen: “But Danhausen has something you do not.”

He raises the championship.

Danhausen: “Everything to lose.”

Danhausen removes the title from around his waist.

Danhausen: “So Danhausen is going to make this interestinghausen.”

He holds the championship out in front of him.

Danhausen: “If Prince Devitt beats Danhausen for the EAM Intercontinental Championship…”

Danhausen takes a breath.

Danhausen: “…Danhausen will accept that perhaps he was never meant to have the power he seeks.”

He looks toward the entrance.

Danhausen: “And Danhausen will give up something far more important than this championshiphausen.”

The crowd quiets.

Danhausen: “Danhausen's curse.”

The screen changes.

IF DANHAUSEN LOSES:
NO MORE CURSES.

Danhausen: “If Prince Devitt defeats Danhausen…”

“No more curseshausen.”

“No more hexeshausen.”

“No more supernatural attackshausen.”

“No more ruining people's liveshausen.”

“No more Danhausen cursehausen.”

Danhausen swallows hard.

Danhausen: “Ever.”

He lowers the microphone for a moment.

Danhausen: “But Prince Devitt…”

A grin slowly returns.

Danhausen: “You want to talk about consequences?”

Danhausen points toward the entrance.

Danhausen: “Then you had better be prepared to put your precious Demon on the linehausen.”

The screen changes again.

IF PRINCE DEVITT LOSES:
NO MORE DEMON.

Danhausen: “If Danhausen beats you…”

He points directly at the camera.

Danhausen: “The Demon is gone.”

Danhausen: “Foreverhausen.”

“No more Demon.”

“No more transformation.”

“No more hiding behind that darkness.”

“No more becoming something else when Prince Devitt isn't enough.”

Danhausen: “You lose…”

Danhausen smiles.

Danhausen: “…and The Demon never returns.”

The crowd erupts.

Danhausen: “So now, Prince Devitt…”

Danhausen slowly raises the EAM Intercontinental Championship.

Danhausen: “You have a choicehausen.”

“You can walk away.”

“You can keep your Demon.”

“You can keep the darkness.”

“You can keep everything you have built.”

Danhausen's expression hardens.

Danhausen: “Or…”

He points at the championship.

Danhausen: “…you can try to beat Danhausen for the third time.”

Pause.

Danhausen: “But understand somethinghausen.”

Danhausen stares into the camera.

Danhausen: “You have beaten Danhausen twice.”

He slowly nods.

Danhausen: “That makes you confident.”

Danhausen smiles.

Danhausen: “It makes Danhausen desperate.”

The crowd reacts.

Danhausen: “And desperatehausen…”

He raises the championship one final time.

Danhausen: “…is very dangeroushausen.”

The lights suddenly cut out.

A heartbeat echoes through the arena.

THUMP.

THUMP.

THUMP.

Then the screen lights up one final time.

CURSE OR CLEANSE

For The EAM INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP....

When the he lights returns, Danhausen is standing alone in the ring.

He looks down at the championship in his hands.

For the first time since this entire obsession began, Danhausen doesn't look amused.

He looks worried.

Because this time, losing doesn't just mean losing to Prince Devitt.

This time, losing means Danhausen loses the very thing that makes him…

Danhausen...

We get a promo highlighting The Ornate Prime Championship next. We get a small recap package, showing us the history and legacy of the championship, leading up to this very point in the title's almost seven year long history, with the promo ending with what we witnessed last week, with Keith Lee returning, and he and Walter having a stare-down in the middle of the ring.


Singles Matchup (Read below first)
" The Home Town Man " Cody Deaner Vs Johnny Gargano

- After the match, Gargano walks backstage and almost bumps into Will Ospreay, who is just standing there grinning.

------------------

Backstage, inside the locker room, Marty Scurll, Adam Cole, and Jay White are relaxing after another successful night of making life miserable for the Hardy Boyz.

Cole is sitting on a bench, laughing as he scrolls through his phone. White is leaning against a locker, arms crossed. Scurll is casually cleaning his umbrella.

Adam Cole: “You know what I love?”

Cole looks between the other two.

Adam Cole: “The look on their faces when they realize there's absolutely nothing they can do about us.”

Jay White: “Jeff especially.”

White smirks.

Jay White: “Guy barely knows which way is up anymore.”

Scurll chuckles.

Marty Scurll: “And Matt?”

Scurll twirls the umbrella in his hand.

Marty Scurll: “Matt's still convinced he's going to save his brother.”

He shakes his head.

Marty Scurll: “It's pathetic.”

Suddenly…

BANG.

All three men stop.

Something has hit the outside of the locker room door.

Adam Cole: “What the hell was that?”

Silence.

Jay White walks toward the door and opens it.

Nothing.

The hallway is completely empty.

Jay White: “Probably somebody screwing around.”

White closes the door.

The lights flicker.

Once.

Twice.

Then they stabilize.

Adam Cole: “Okay…”

Cole looks around.

Adam Cole: “That's not funny.”

Scurll slowly looks toward one of the lockers.

There is something written across it.

DELETE

Scurll's smile disappears.

Marty Scurll: “...What?”

Jay White steps closer.

Jay White: “That wasn't there before.”

Cole reaches out and touches the word.

The lights go out.

Then, from somewhere...almost like a whisper...

DELETE.....DELETE.....DELETE.....

We cut back to the arena for our main event of the evening...


8-Man Tag Team Matchup (Read below first)
Lucha Bros (Pentagon Jr. & Rey Fenix) & The Aztec Warriors (Laredo Kid and Octagón Jr.)
Vs
The Algorithm (Aaron Stevens, Eli Drake, Orange Cassidy & Logan Paul)

- Algorithm enters the ring first and Aaron Stevens cut's a promo that gets interrupted by Lucha Bros' music. The unlikely alliance (at least for tonight) walks out on the stage together. But there is a 5th person with them. Out on the stage together with Lucha Bros and Aztec Warriors is Mr. Beast (something that really makes Logan Paul mad)

[Vikingsfan88]

Live from Hammerstein Ballroom, New York

Episode #535


We get a very theatrical promo to start the show, showing what's been going on in the main event scene in EAM as of late, not to mention the heat between three of the most talked about individuals in the business right now. The recap shows us everything that has been going on the last couple of years, with MJF holding the title " hostage " until the glorious night at Grandslam where Joe Hendry made everyone believe in him, until CM Punk cashed in his money in the bank briefcase and " stole " not only the EAM Title, but the damn spotlight! We cut to the Jamboree vignette...


As we cut to the arena, Daniel and Nigel welcomes us to another episode of Jamboree, then they announce that at next week's tapings, there will be a rare contract signing here in EAM, as Punk, MJF and Hendry are meeting in the ring to put their names on a piece of paper that makes a triple threat match between them for The EAM World Heavyweight Championship at the upcoming PPV official! Now over to Melissa for our first matchup of the evening.


Tag Team Matchup
reDragon (Kyle O' Reilly & Bobby Fish) Vs Triple C & Chad Gable

The bell rings, and Kyle O’Reilly locks up with Chad Gable in an absolute masterclass of mat wrestling. O’Reilly targets the arm with swift wrist locks, but Gable counters with elite amateur wrestling transitions, slickly escaping into a waist lock. Bobby Fish tags in, bringing heavy martial arts kicks to Gable’s thighs, but Gable ducks a roundhouse and tags in Triple C.

Triple C explodes into the ring, taking Fish down with a flying shoulder block followed by a rapid-fire sequence of jabs. Fish manages to back Triple C into the corner, allowing reDRagon to cut the ring in half with quick tags, isolating Triple C with ruthless strike combinations and sweep kicks. O’Reilly locks in a kneebar, forcing Triple C to claw frantically toward the ropes for a break.

After enduring a relentless assault, Triple C slips under an O’Reilly clothesline and makes the hot tag to Chad Gable. Gable hits the ring like a house on fire, tossing O’Reilly with a crisp belly-to-belly suplex before catching an incoming Fish with a waist lock and throwing him with a soaring German suplex.

The match turns into total chaos as all four men trade big moves in the center of the ring. Fish sweeps Gable’s legs, setting him up for reDRagon’s signature Chasing the Dragon combination. However, as O’Reilly springs off the ropes, Triple C executes a surprise slide into the ring, snatching O’Reilly’s leg to trip him up onto the apron.

Capitalizing instantly on the disruption, Chad Gable rolls Fish up into an ankle lock, wrenching with everything he’s got while Triple C holds O’Reilly back on the outside. Fish tries to fight out, but Gable bridges forward, rolling Fish into a flawless, inescapable bridging O’Connor Roll pin. The referee counts to three, securing a hard-fought victory for Triple C and Chad Gable.

Winners: Triple C and Chad Gable

As we get back from commercial break we go back to a arena in utter complete darkness.

For several seconds, there is nothing.

Then the familiar sound of a strange, maniacal laugh echoes throughout the building.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”

The lights snap on.

Danhausen stands in the center of the ring, the EAM Intercontinental Championship strapped securely around his waist.

He slowly removes the title and looks down at it.

For once, there is no grin.

Danhausen: “Prince Devitt…”

Danhausen raises the microphone.

Danhausen: “We have done this beforehausen.”

He looks toward the entrance ramp.

Danhausen: “Twicehausen.”

Danhausen holds up two fingers.

Danhausen: “And both times…”

He pauses.

Danhausen: “…Danhausen lost.”

The crowd reacts.

Danhausen's jaw tightens.

Danhausen: “Danhausen does not like saying thathausen.”

He looks down at the championship again.

Danhausen: “Because Danhausen is supposed to be the evilhausen. Danhausen is supposed to be the dangeroushausen. Danhausen is supposed to be the one who makes people afraidhausen.”

He slowly raises his eyes.

Danhausen: “But Prince Devitt has beaten Danhausen.”

Another pause.

Danhausen: “Twice.”

Danhausen begins pacing around the ring.

Danhausen: “And that is why Danhausen has spent months following you.”

Danhausen: “Watching you.”

Danhausen: “Studying you.”

Danhausen: “Cursing you.”

Danhausen: “Because Danhausen knows there is something wrong with Prince Devitthausen.”

The crowd begins to stir.

Danhausen: “Something inside you.”

Danhausen: “Something that comes out when the man disappears…”

Danhausen's voice drops.

Danhausen: “…and The Demon takes over.”

Huge reaction.

Danhausen: “Danhausen has seen it.”

Danhausen: “Danhausen has felt it.”

Danhausen: “And Danhausen wants it.”

He taps his temple.

Danhausen: “That power.”

He taps his chest.

Danhausen: “That darkness.”

He looks down at the championship.

Danhausen: “That ability to become something morehausen.”

Danhausen suddenly smiles.

Danhausen: “But maybe Danhausen has been thinking about this all wronghausen.”

He raises the title.

Danhausen: “Maybe Danhausen doesn't need to take the power from Prince Devitt.”

Beat.

Danhausen: “Maybe Danhausen simply needs to make Prince Devitt give it uphausen.”

The screen behind him changes.

THIRD TIME.

Danhausen points toward the screen.

Danhausen: “Third encounterhausen.”

Danhausen: “EAM Intercontinental Championshiphausen.”

Danhausen: “And this time…”

He lowers the title.

Danhausen: “…there must be consequenceshausen.”

The crowd grows louder.

Danhausen: “Because Danhausen cannot afford to lose again.”

That line hangs in the air.

Danhausen looks down at the championship.

Danhausen: “Think about that, Prince Devitt.”

Danhausen: “You have already beaten Danhausen twice.”

Danhausen: “You already know you can do it.”

Danhausen: “You already know what happens when we step into that ringhausen.”

His expression becomes increasingly serious.

Danhausen: “But Danhausen has something you do not.”

He raises the championship.

Danhausen: “Everything to lose.”

Danhausen removes the title from around his waist.

Danhausen: “So Danhausen is going to make this interestinghausen.”

He holds the championship out in front of him.

Danhausen: “If Prince Devitt beats Danhausen for the EAM Intercontinental Championship…”

Danhausen takes a breath.

Danhausen: “…Danhausen will accept that perhaps he was never meant to have the power he seeks.”

He looks toward the entrance.

Danhausen: “And Danhausen will give up something far more important than this championshiphausen.”

The crowd quiets.

Danhausen: “Danhausen's curse.”

The screen changes.

IF DANHAUSEN LOSES:
NO MORE CURSES.

Danhausen: “If Prince Devitt defeats Danhausen…”

“No more curseshausen.”

“No more hexeshausen.”

“No more supernatural attackshausen.”

“No more ruining people's liveshausen.”

“No more Danhausen cursehausen.”

Danhausen swallows hard.

Danhausen: “Ever.”

He lowers the microphone for a moment.

Danhausen: “But Prince Devitt…”

A grin slowly returns.

Danhausen: “You want to talk about consequences?”

Danhausen points toward the entrance.

Danhausen: “Then you had better be prepared to put your precious Demon on the linehausen.”

The screen changes again.

IF PRINCE DEVITT LOSES:
NO MORE DEMON.

Danhausen: “If Danhausen beats you…”

He points directly at the camera.

Danhausen: “The Demon is gone.”

Danhausen: “Foreverhausen.”

“No more Demon.”

“No more transformation.”

“No more hiding behind that darkness.”

“No more becoming something else when Prince Devitt isn't enough.”

Danhausen: “You lose…”

Danhausen smiles.

Danhausen: “…and The Demon never returns.”

The crowd erupts.

Danhausen: “So now, Prince Devitt…”

Danhausen slowly raises the EAM Intercontinental Championship.

Danhausen: “You have a choicehausen.”

“You can walk away.”

“You can keep your Demon.”

“You can keep the darkness.”

“You can keep everything you have built.”

Danhausen's expression hardens.

Danhausen: “Or…”

He points at the championship.

Danhausen: “…you can try to beat Danhausen for the third time.”

Pause.

Danhausen: “But understand somethinghausen.”

Danhausen stares into the camera.

Danhausen: “You have beaten Danhausen twice.”

He slowly nods.

Danhausen: “That makes you confident.”

Danhausen smiles.

Danhausen: “It makes Danhausen desperate.”

The crowd reacts.

Danhausen: “And desperatehausen…”

He raises the championship one final time.

Danhausen: “…is very dangeroushausen.”

The lights suddenly cut out.

A heartbeat echoes through the arena.

THUMP.

THUMP.

THUMP.

Then the screen lights up one final time.

Singles Matchup
" The Home Town Man " Cody Deaner Vs Johnny Gargano

The arena erupts as "The Hometown Man" Cody Deaner steps into the ring before his rabid local fans. Johnny Gargano controls the early pace, using his superior ring awareness to outmaneuver Deaner with arm drags and a quick roll-up for a two-count. Unfazed, Deaner feeds off the thunderous chants of the crowd, powering out of a hammerlock and dropping Gargano with a heavy shoulder tackle.

Gargano quickly changes tactics, shifting into aggressive gear. He drops Deaner onto the apron and lands his signature slingshot spear, temporarily silencing the arena. Gargano grindingly wears Deaner down with a chinlock, mocking the crowd as Deaner tries to fight up to his feet. Driven by the local support, Deaner powers through, breaking Gargano’s grip with sharp elbows and landing a sequence of heavy clotheslines, followed by a big boot in the corner.

Deaner attempts his finisher, but Gargano counters mid-move into a swift superkick straight to the jaw. Deaner stumbles back, barely kicking out at two. Frustrated, Gargano scales the turnbuckle looking for a diving elbow drop, but Deaner rolls out of the way, leaving Gargano crashing hard onto the canvas.

Deaner seizes the moment, pulling Gargano up into a sudden powerbomb attempt. Gargano counters again, sliding down Deaner’s back to look for the Garga-No-Escape. But Deaner uses every ounce of leverage, turning Gargano’s submission attempt into a cradle cover while hooking both legs tightly. Gargano thrashes to escape, but the crowd’s roar fuels Deaner to hold the pressure down as the referee’s hand hits the canvas for the three-count. The hometown man captures the massive victory.

Winner: "The Hometown man" Cody Deaner

A furious Johnny Gargano storms backstage, tearing off his wrist tape and muttering angrily to himself. As he rounds a tight hallway corner, he almost collides straight into Will Ospreay. Ospreay is casually leaning against a equipment crate, hands folded, wearing a wide, mockingly calm grin. Gargano glare at him, breathing heavily, but Ospreay just chuckles, quietly nodding at Gargano without saying a single word as Johnny brushes past him.

8-Man Tag Team Matchup
Lucha Bros (Pentagon Jr. & Rey Fenix) & The Aztec Warriors (Laredo Kid and Octagón Jr.)
Vs
The Algorithm (Aaron Stevens, Eli Drake, Orange Cassidy & Logan Paul)

The Algorithm enters the ring first to loud boos. Aaron Stevens grabs a microphone, declaring, "Listen up! The Algorithm is here to bring logic and intelligence to this chaotic—"

Suddenly, the Lucha Bros’ music hits, interrupting Stevens mid-sentence. Pentagon Jr., Rey Fenix, Laredo Kid, and Octagón Jr. march out onto the stage. But walking right beside them as their 5th ally is Mr. Beast. Logan Paul’s eyes widen in absolute fury as he spots Mr. Beast standing alongside the luchadores.

The match kicks off with high-flying chaos as the lucha squad immediately clears the ring, executing synchronized dive flips over the top rope onto Stevens, Drake, and Cassidy. Inside the ring, Logan Paul tags himself in, visibly shaken and constantly glaring toward ringside where Mr. Beast is cheering on the masked warriors.

The Algorithm manages to isolate Octagón Jr. with cheap tactics, as Eli Drake hits a neckbreaker and Aaron Stevens wears him down with a headlock. Orange Cassidy casually tags in, putting his hands in his pockets to deliver weak kicks, but Octagón Jr. catches one, ducking under a swing to tag in Laredo Kid. Laredo springs onto the top rope, hitting a springboard hurricanrana on Cassidy before tagging Rey Fenix.

Fenix comes in hot, landing a spinning heel kick on Drake and teaming up with Pentagon Jr. for double-team maneuvers that dismantle Stevens and Cassidy. Logan Paul reluctantly steps back into the ring to regain control. He lands a heavy right hand on Fenix and readies himself for a springboard clothesline.

As Logan scales the ropes, he glances down and catches eyes with Mr. Beast, who casually winks and flashes a thumbs-up. Furious and distracted, Logan stops on the turnbuckle to scream, "Get out of my building!"

That tiny lapse in focus proves fatal. Laredo Kid and Octagón Jr. instantly leap onto the ropes, catching the distracted Logan with a double-team superplex off the top turnbuckle. Before Logan can even register the impact, Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix swoop in to hit their devastating Fear Factor / Diving Foot Stamp combo directly onto Logan Paul. Fenix hooks the leg while Pentagon guards the ring, securing the pinfall victory for the team!

Winners: Team of Lucha Bros and The Aztec Warriors/with Mr. Beast

Logan Paul scrambles out of the ring, clutching his neck, his face red with rage as he marches up to Mr. Beast at ringside.

"What are you doing here?!" Logan screams, getting right in his face. "You ruined everything! This is NOT going to end good for you, I swear to God!"

Mr. Beast just laughs warmly, stepping up beside Pentagon Jr. and the rest of the high-flying victors, who stand guard behind him.

"Come at me, you wanna-be wrestler," Mr. Beast smirks, shrugging his shoulders as the crowd cheers and the lucha team celebrates around him.

Episode #97


The scene opens inside the office of EAM Promotion Chairman Emil A. Quinn McKay stands across from his desk, looking visibly frustrated. Emil sits behind the desk, listening intently.

QUINN McKAY:
Emil, we've got a problem. And unfortunately, it's one that's gotten a lot bigger than I think any of us anticipated.

Emil leans back in his chair.

EMIL A.:
Skye.

QUINN:
Skye.

Quinn sighs.

QUINN:
After what happened during the rematch situation, she completely lost it. She tore through the backstage area, screamed at anyone who tried to get near her, and then came straight to me demanding that something be done about Mickie.

EMIL:
And what exactly does she want?

QUINN:
She wants her rematch with Julia. She believes Mickie deliberately cost her that opportunity, and quite frankly... after everything Julia did to her, Skye is convinced everyone is conspiring against her.

Emil's expression hardens slightly.

EMIL:
Mickie didn't just cost her an opportunity. She interfered because she believed she had a reason to.

QUINN:
I know. But that's not the point anymore. We've got two women who are obsessed with getting their hands on each other, a champion who has already lost control once, and your wife sitting right in the middle of it.

Emil is silent for a moment.

EMIL:
Then let's take Mickie out of the equation.

Quinn raises an eyebrow.

QUINN:
How?

EMIL:
Give Skye what she wants.

QUINN:
The rematch?

EMIL:
The rematch.

Emil stands and walks around the desk.

EMIL:
But if we just put Julia and Skye in a regular match, somebody is going to interfere. Mickie might try something. Skye might go after Mickie. Julia might have someone on her side. And then we're right back where we started.

QUINN:
So what are you suggesting?

Emil looks Quinn directly in the eyes.

EMIL:
A cage.

Quinn considers it.

EMIL:
Julia Hart and Skye Blue. Locked inside a steel cage. No escape. No interference. No excuses.

QUINN:
And Mickie?

Emil pauses.

EMIL:
Mickie stays away from the cage.

QUINN:
You think she'll agree to that?

EMIL:
She doesn't have to agree.

Quinn looks surprised.

EMIL:
If Mickie wants to be at ringside, fine. She can be there. But if she tries to interfere, she's going to have a problem.

QUINN:
What kind of problem?

Emil gives a faint, almost amused smile.

EMIL:
She'll be handcuffed to me.

Quinn stares at him for a beat.

QUINN:
You're serious.

EMIL:
Completely.

QUINN:
You'd actually handcuff yourself to your own wife for the duration of the match?

EMIL:
If that's what it takes to make sure she doesn't get involved, yes.

Emil's expression becomes more serious.

EMIL:
I'm her husband, Quinn. I'm not going to pretend I don't have a personal stake in this. But I'm also the chairman of this company. Skye deserves her rematch. Julia deserves a match where she can defend her championship without chaos surrounding her. And Mickie deserves to stay out of a fight that doesn't belong to her.

Quinn slowly nods.

QUINN:
I'll make it official.

EMIL:
Good.

Quinn exits. Emil remains standing alone in his office for a moment, the weight of the situation clearly sinking in.

EMIL:
No more excuses. No more interference.

He looks toward the camera, smiling as we cut to the Spotlight vignette...


As the camera's cut to the arena, music cranks the arena speakers right away, and Alexa walks out together with Charlotte, as she is going to be in Charlotte's corner for this opening matchup. They reach the ring where Charlotte gestures for a couple of microphones and gets handed a pair by a guy outside. Charlotte starts, talking about the fact that the womens division in EAM is on fire right now.... (This gets a good reaction from the crowd) then going on, saying the very reason the division is on fire is standing right here. Nobody cares about Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks returning. The fact is that everyone was glad they left in the first place. Charlotte and Alexa will make sure that their second time around wont be a long one. And when they have done that, they will go after those titles, provingevery word they are standing here and saying! Music then again cranks the arena speakers, interrupting the rest of the promo, something that really annoys and bothers Charlotte and Alexa. The crowd gives a good reaction as Bianca and Sasha enters the stage, while Charlotte makes herself ready for the upcoming matchup, and Alexa making herself ready in Charlotte's corner. Bianca and Sasha alreaady has microphones, and they respond to the promo that Charlotte and Alexa just cut, thrastalking them all the way down the ramp and down to ringside. But Charlotte in the ring wastes to time, leaping over the top rope, sending both Bianca and Sasha down on the floor even before the match has begun...

Singles Matchup
Alexa Bliss w/Charlotte Flair Vs Sasha Banks w/Bianca Belair


The camera cuts backstage to find Alicia Atout standing beside Julia Hart, the EAM Women's Champion. The championship rests proudly over Julia's shoulder. Julia looks calm, collected, and almost completely uninterested in the interview.

Alicia: Julia, I want to start with the obvious question. There have been some pretty persistent rumors surrounding your next title defense. Not strange, with everything that has been going on as of late.

Julia doesn't look at Alicia.

Julia: Then I suppose you should ask me about someone I don't know.

Alicia: Skye Blue?

A brief pause. Julia finally turns her eyes toward Alicia.

Julia: That's the rumor?

Alicia: That's what we're hearing.

Julia: I thought I was finished with her to be honest.

Alicia: Julia, Skye was your friend. Your partner. Someone you trusted. You turned on her to win that championship. If she really is your next challenger, wouldn't you have something to say to her?

Julia looks down at the championship. Her fingers slowly trace across the faceplate.

Julia: I already said everything I needed to say.

A heartbeat.

Julia: I took this.

Julia taps the championship.

Julia: She lost it.

Julia looks back at Alicia.

Julia: That's the difference between us.

Alicia: But before Skye, there was Mickie James.

Julia's expression hardens ever so slightly.

Alicia: You were the reason Mickie was injured and unable to compete, which ultimately forced the EAM to determine a new Women's Champion. Now that Mickie is back in the picture, are you concerned that she might try to do something to you?

Julia simply stares at Alicia.

Alicia: Are you afraid of Mickie?

A long silence.

Juia: No.

Alicia: Not even a little?

Julia: Alicia...

Julia adjusts the championship on her shoulder.

Julia: I injured Mickie, remember?

Another heartbeat.

Julia: I didn't ask anyone to crown me champion. I didn't ask for sympathy. And I certainly didn't ask Mickie to get hurt.

Julia's expression becomes colder.

Julia: But she did.

Alicia: And if Mickie decides she wants revenge?

Julia: Then she can get in line.

Alicia: You really aren't afraid of anyone coming after you?

Julia: I have this.

Julia taps the EAM Women's Championship.

Julia: Everyone who wants it has a problem with me.

She looks directly into the camera.

Julia: That's not something I'm afraid of. That's the price of being champion.

Alicia: And what about the other rumor? That your next title defense could actually be against Skye Blue... inside a steel cage?

Julia's eyes narrow slightly.

Julia: A cage?

Alicia: That's what we're hearing.

Julia laughs....

Julia: Good.....good.....

Alicia: Good?

Julia: Yes! Because it will be, No distractions. No excuses. No one running in to save her...

Julia looks down at the championship again.

Julia: If Skye wants this back, she can climb into that cage and take it from me.

Before Alicia can continue, a voice suddenly comes from off-camera.

Chelsea Green: OH! MY! GOD!

Julia slowly closes her eyes and shakes her head in disbelief.

Chelsea: Is that??? Is it?!?

Chelsea Green practically glides into frame, completely ignoring both Julia and Alicia while staring at the championship draped over Julia's shoulder.

Chelsea: The EAM Women's Championship?!

Julia opens her eyes and looks at Chelsea with steel-cold eyes.

Julia: Yes...

Chelsea: Oh my GOD!

Chelsea takes a step closer towards Julia.

Chelsea: Can I look?

Julia: You're looking at it.

Chelsea: No, I mean SEE it... ???

Chelsea leans in, examining the championship from several different angles. Totally flabbergasted.

Chelsea: Wow.....

She looks at Julia.

Chelsea: It's even prettier up close.

Julia: Thank you.

Chelsea: Is it real?

Julia stares at her.

Julia: No, Chelsea. It's a very elaborate toy.

Chelsea: I knew it!

Alicia tries not to laugh, still standing right beside them.

Alicia: Chelsea, we're actually in the middle of an interview....

Chelsea: I can see that, Alicia. I'm not blind.

Chelsea continues staring at the championship.

Chelsea: Is it heavy?

Julia Heavy enough.

Chelsea: Can I hold it?

Julia: No!

Chelsea: Why not?!

Julia: Because it's mine!

Chelsea: But what if I promise to be really careful with it? Please? Pretty please?!

Julia: No!

Chelsea: I could wear gloves, or....

Julia: No!

Chelsea: What if.....

Julia: Chelsea?!

Chelsea finally looks Julia in the eyes.

Julia: No!

Chelsea considers this for a moment.

Chelsea: ...Can I take a picture with it?

Julia slowly turns toward Alicia.

Julia: Are we still doing that interview?

Alicia: Technically.....

Julia: Then I'm leaving.

Julia turns to walk away, but Chelsea immediately follows her.

Chelsea: Wait! Julia! Just one picture! I won't touch it, I promise!

Julia stops dead, and sighs...

Chelsea: I'll just stand next to it.

Julia looks over her shoulder.

Julia: You are exhausting. You know that?

Chelsea: Oh?! Thank you! That's the nicest thing you ever said to me.

Julia walks off then, leaving Alicia and Chelsea behind. Chelsea watches her go before turning toward Alicia.

Chelsea: She's very protective of that thing isn't she?

But Chelsea goes on before Alicia even manages to reply to her question.

Chelsea: I like her. She's not like the others...

Chelsea then stares dreamily in the direction Julia disappeared down the hall.

Chelsea: But..... I think I like that belt even more...

We then cut back to the arena for our next match of the evening...

Episode #97


The scene opens inside the office of EAM Promotion Chairman Emil A. Quinn McKay stands across from his desk, looking visibly frustrated. Emil sits behind the desk, listening intently.

QUINN McKAY:
Emil, we've got a problem. And unfortunately, it's one that's gotten a lot bigger than I think any of us anticipated.

Emil leans back in his chair.

EMIL A.:
Skye.

QUINN:
Skye.

Quinn sighs.

QUINN:
After what happened during the rematch situation, she completely lost it. She tore through the backstage area, screamed at anyone who tried to get near her, and then came straight to me demanding that something be done about Mickie.

EMIL:
And what exactly does she want?

QUINN:
She wants her rematch with Julia. She believes Mickie deliberately cost her that opportunity, and quite frankly... after everything Julia did to her, Skye is convinced everyone is conspiring against her.

Emil's expression hardens slightly.

EMIL:
Mickie didn't just cost her an opportunity. She interfered because she believed she had a reason to.

QUINN:
I know. But that's not the point anymore. We've got two women who are obsessed with getting their hands on each other, a champion who has already lost control once, and your wife sitting right in the middle of it.

Emil is silent for a moment.

EMIL:
Then let's take Mickie out of the equation.

Quinn raises an eyebrow.

QUINN:
How?

EMIL:
Give Skye what she wants.

QUINN:
The rematch?

EMIL:
The rematch.

Emil stands and walks around the desk.

EMIL:
But if we just put Julia and Skye in a regular match, somebody is going to interfere. Mickie might try something. Skye might go after Mickie. Julia might have someone on her side. And then we're right back where we started.

QUINN:
So what are you suggesting?

Emil looks Quinn directly in the eyes.

EMIL:
A cage.

Quinn considers it.

EMIL:
Julia Hart and Skye Blue. Locked inside a steel cage. No escape. No interference. No excuses.

QUINN:
And Mickie?

Emil pauses.

EMIL:
Mickie stays away from the cage.

QUINN:
You think she'll agree to that?

EMIL:
She doesn't have to agree.

Quinn looks surprised.

EMIL:
If Mickie wants to be at ringside, fine. She can be there. But if she tries to interfere, she's going to have a problem.

QUINN:
What kind of problem?

Emil gives a faint, almost amused smile.

EMIL:
She'll be handcuffed to me.

Quinn stares at him for a beat.

QUINN:
You're serious.

EMIL:
Completely.

QUINN:
You'd actually handcuff yourself to your own wife for the duration of the match?

EMIL:
If that's what it takes to make sure she doesn't get involved, yes.

Emil's expression becomes more serious.

EMIL:
I'm her husband, Quinn. I'm not going to pretend I don't have a personal stake in this. But I'm also the chairman of this company. Skye deserves her rematch. Julia deserves a match where she can defend her championship without chaos surrounding her. And Mickie deserves to stay out of a fight that doesn't belong to her.

Quinn slowly nods.

QUINN:
I'll make it official.

EMIL:
Good.

Quinn exits. Emil remains standing alone in his office for a moment, the weight of the situation clearly sinking in.

EMIL:
No more excuses. No more interference.

He looks toward the camera, smiling as we cut to the Spotlight vignette...


As the camera's cut to the arena, music cranks the arena speakers right away, and Alexa walks out together with Charlotte, as she is going to be in Charlotte's corner for this opening matchup. They reach the ring where Charlotte gestures for a couple of microphones and gets handed a pair by a guy outside. Charlotte starts, talking about the fact that the womens division in EAM is on fire right now.... (This gets a good reaction from the crowd) then going on, saying the very reason the division is on fire is standing right here. Nobody cares about Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks returning. The fact is that everyone was glad they left in the first place. Charlotte and Alexa will make sure that their second time around wont be a long one. And when they have done that, they will go after those titles, provingevery word they are standing here and saying! Music then again cranks the arena speakers, interrupting the rest of the promo, something that really annoys and bothers Charlotte and Alexa. The crowd gives a good reaction as Bianca and Sasha enters the stage, while Charlotte makes herself ready for the upcoming matchup, and Alexa making herself ready in Charlotte's corner. Bianca and Sasha alreaady has microphones, and they respond to the promo that Charlotte and Alexa just cut, thrastalking them all the way down the ramp and down to ringside. But Charlotte in the ring wastes to time, leaping over the top rope, sending both Bianca and Sasha down on the floor even before the match has begun...

Singles Matchup
Alexa Bliss w/Charlotte Flair Vs Sasha Banks w/Bianca Belair

Chaos erupts before the bell even rings. Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair square up in the center of the ring, but the tension explodes on the outside. Alexa Bliss executes a frantic running dive, vaulting completely over the top rope and plunging onto Bianca Belair and Sasha on the arena floor before the referee can call for the bell.

Once the match officially gets underway, Charlotte capitalizes on the pre-match melee, driving Sasha into the turnbuckles with heavy chops. Sasha battles back with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors, sending Charlotte into the ropes, but the action quickly spills back outside. Bianca steps up to confront Charlotte, prompting Alexa to charge back into the fray.

All four women begin trading ferocious blows on the outside, completely ignoring the referee's official count. The referee reaches ten, calling for a double count-out, but nobody cares. Alexa and Bianca take their fight up the entrance ramp toward the stage. Exchanging furious strikes at the top of the ramp, both women collide at full speed, sending each other flying off the stage platform and crashing straight through a setup table below.

Down by the ringside area, officials finally manage to pull Charlotte and Sasha apart. A visible cut opens above Charlotte's eye as blood trickles down her face, but she screams hysterically at Bianca through the wreckage. All hell has officially broken loose.

Match ends in a DOUBLE COUNT-OUT

The camera cuts backstage to find Alicia Atout standing beside Julia Hart, the EAM Women's Champion. The championship rests proudly over Julia's shoulder. Julia looks calm, collected, and almost completely uninterested in the interview.

Alicia: Julia, I want to start with the obvious question. There have been some pretty persistent rumors surrounding your next title defense. Not strange, with everything that has been going on as of late.

Julia doesn't look at Alicia.

Julia: Then I suppose you should ask me about someone I don't know.

Alicia: Skye Blue?

A brief pause. Julia finally turns her eyes toward Alicia.

Julia: That's the rumor?

Alicia: That's what we're hearing.

Julia: I thought I was finished with her to be honest.

Alicia: Julia, Skye was your friend. Your partner. Someone you trusted. You turned on her to win that championship. If she really is your next challenger, wouldn't you have something to say to her?

Julia looks down at the championship. Her fingers slowly trace across the faceplate.

Julia: I already said everything I needed to say.

A heartbeat.

Julia: I took this.

Julia taps the championship.

Julia: She lost it.

Julia looks back at Alicia.

Julia: That's the difference between us.

Alicia: But before Skye, there was Mickie James.

Julia's expression hardens ever so slightly.

Alicia: You were the reason Mickie was injured and unable to compete, which ultimately forced the EAM to determine a new Women's Champion. Now that Mickie is back in the picture, are you concerned that she might try to do something to you?

Julia simply stares at Alicia.

Alicia: Are you afraid of Mickie?

A long silence.

Juia: No.

Alicia: Not even a little?

Julia: Alicia...

Julia adjusts the championship on her shoulder.

Julia: I injured Mickie, remember?

Another heartbeat.

Julia: I didn't ask anyone to crown me champion. I didn't ask for sympathy. And I certainly didn't ask Mickie to get hurt.

Julia's expression becomes colder.

Julia: But she did.

Alicia: And if Mickie decides she wants revenge?

Julia: Then she can get in line.

Alicia: You really aren't afraid of anyone coming after you?

Julia: I have this.

Julia taps the EAM Women's Championship.

Julia: Everyone who wants it has a problem with me.

She looks directly into the camera.

Julia: That's not something I'm afraid of. That's the price of being champion.

Alicia: And what about the other rumor? That your next title defense could actually be against Skye Blue... inside a steel cage?

Julia's eyes narrow slightly.

Julia: A cage?

Alicia: That's what we're hearing.

Julia laughs....

Julia: Good.....good.....

Alicia: Good?

Julia: Yes! Because it will be, No distractions. No excuses. No one running in to save her...

Julia looks down at the championship again.

Julia: If Skye wants this back, she can climb into that cage and take it from me.

Before Alicia can continue, a voice suddenly comes from off-camera.

Chelsea Green: OH! MY! GOD!

Julia slowly closes her eyes and shakes her head in disbelief.

Chelsea: Is that??? Is it?!?

Chelsea Green practically glides into frame, completely ignoring both Julia and Alicia while staring at the championship draped over Julia's shoulder.

Chelsea: The EAM Women's Championship?!

Julia opens her eyes and looks at Chelsea with steel-cold eyes.

Julia: Yes...

Chelsea: Oh my GOD!

Chelsea takes a step closer towards Julia.

Chelsea: Can I look?

Julia: You're looking at it.

Chelsea: No, I mean SEE it... ???

Chelsea leans in, examining the championship from several different angles. Totally flabbergasted.

Chelsea: Wow.....

She looks at Julia.

Chelsea: It's even prettier up close.

Julia: Thank you.

Chelsea: Is it real?

Julia stares at her.

Julia: No, Chelsea. It's a very elaborate toy.

Chelsea: I knew it!

Alicia tries not to laugh, still standing right beside them.

Alicia: Chelsea, we're actually in the middle of an interview....

Chelsea: I can see that, Alicia. I'm not blind.

Chelsea continues staring at the championship.

Chelsea: Is it heavy?

Julia Heavy enough.

Chelsea: Can I hold it?

Julia: No!

Chelsea: Why not?!

Julia: Because it's mine!

Chelsea: But what if I promise to be really careful with it? Please? Pretty please?!

Julia: No!

Chelsea: I could wear gloves, or....

Julia: No!

Chelsea: What if.....

Julia: Chelsea?!

Chelsea finally looks Julia in the eyes.

Julia: No!

Chelsea considers this for a moment.

Chelsea: ...Can I take a picture with it?

Julia slowly turns toward Alicia.

Julia: Are we still doing that interview?

Alicia: Technically.....

Julia: Then I'm leaving.

Julia turns to walk away, but Chelsea immediately follows her.

Chelsea: Wait! Julia! Just one picture! I won't touch it, I promise!

Julia stops dead, and sighs...

Chelsea: I'll just stand next to it.

Julia looks over her shoulder.

Julia: You are exhausting. You know that?

Chelsea: Oh?! Thank you! That's the nicest thing you ever said to me.

Julia walks off then, leaving Alicia and Chelsea behind. Chelsea watches her go before turning toward Alicia.

Chelsea: She's very protective of that thing isn't she?

But Chelsea goes on before Alicia even manages to reply to her question.

Chelsea: I like her. She's not like the others...

Chelsea then stares dreamily in the direction Julia disappeared down the hall.

Chelsea: But..... I think I like that belt even more...

We then cut back to the arena for our next match of the evening...


Singles Matchup
Jade Cargill Vs Kamille

Two powerhouses collide in an absolute battle of strength. Jade Cargill locks up with Kamille in the center of the ring, neither woman yielding an inch as they trade heavy shoulder tackles and forearm strikes. Kamille lifts Jade for a delayed vertical suplex, but Jade slips behind and plants her with a spinebuster, shaking the canvas.

As Jade hooks Kamille's leg for a pin attempt, Lash Legend suddenly hops the barricade and storms the ring. Lash blindsides Jade with a brutal big boot, forcing the referee to immediately ring the bell and rule the contest a no-contest.

NO-CONTEST

Kamille gets back to her feet and immediately engages Lash, refusing to let anyone steal her moment. Jade recovers and re-enters the brawl, turning it into a chaotic three-way melee in the center of the ring. Right hands, hair-pulling, and slam attempts fly continuously until a dozen security guards swarm the ring. Security desperately struggles to pull the three titans apart as the broadcast frantically cuts to a commercial break.

8-Women Tag Team Matchup
The Hex (Allysin Kay & Marti Belle) Vs Deonna Purrazzo & Tessa Blanchard Vs TayJay (Anna Jay & Tay Conti) Vs Shotzi Blackhart & Kiera Hogan

An absolute breakdown of tag team rules defines this multi-team showdown. Allysin Kay and Marti Belle of The Hex attempt to isolate Anna Jay early, grounding her with swift quick-tag combinations and heavy corner clotheslines. Tay Conti gets the hot tag, clearing the ring with a barrage of judo throws on both members of The Hex before Deonna Purrazzo forcefully tags herself in.

Deonna and Tessa Blanchard display crisp technical dominance, systematically wearing down Tay Conti with armbars and relentless boots. However, the fragile alliance between Deonna and Tessa splinters when an argument erupts over who gets to cover Conti. Shotzi Blackhart takes advantage of the distraction, flying off the top turnbuckle with a crossbody that wipes out both Deonna and Tessa.

All eight women flood the ring in a frantic sequence of high-impact moves. Allysin Kay hits a powerful driver on Shotzi, only for Anna Jay to lock Kay in the Queenslayer. Tessa Blanchard breaks up the submission with a codebreaker, but Kiera Hogan catches Tessa off-guard with a swift superkick that knocks her out to the floor.

With complete bedlam ensuing outside, Kiera plants Marti Belle on the canvas with a swinging neckbreaker. Shotzi immediately scales the turnbuckle and executes a wild Sliced Bread No. 2 directly off the ropes onto Belle. Kiera covers Marti Belle while Shotzi dives through the ropes to wipe out the remaining field on the floor.

The referee counts the 1-2-3, securing the victory for Shotzi Blackhart and Kiera Hogan.

Episode #536


We open up with a short promo/recap of all the actions regarding The EAM World Heavyweight Championship these last months, showing us everything, starting with when MJF won the championship strap in a Triple Threat Matchup against Keith Lee and Shawn Michaels at Grandslam 16. Then, all the time inbetween, with MJF slowly turning to the closet champion as of late, refusing to defend the title etc. until the devastating moment at Grandslam 18, and then... Punk's cash-in.... All this has lead us to tonight....

We cut to the Jamboree vignette...


Before the match, Hook cut's a short promo, but gets interrupted by his opponents music, who gets a big pop from the hometown audience, something that really annoys Hook.

EAM Television Championship Matchup
Hook (c) Vs " The Home Town Man " Cody Deaner


We cut to the backstage area where we hook up with Matt Hardy as he is walking aimlessly around in the corridoors, shouting for " Brother Nero " asking where he's gone. As he rounds a bend, he bumps into none other than Jay White and Adam Cole, and imidiately accuse them for doing something with his brother, demanding them to tell him. It all escalates as Scurll enters the scene, and the three of them go at Matt, who is helpless against the three of them, but it's not like he is not trying. Security finally enters the scene and manage to seperate them. We cut to commercials with Matt yelling to Scurll that he's gonna be sorry he even was born! Just you wait! We cut to commercials....


Tag Team Matchup
Chad Gable & Triple C Vs Jack Vaughn & Donovan Cecil


We get a pre-taped segment next, as the camera cut's and we find ourselves in some kind of office. Behind the desk sits Mr.Beast, with a stack of cash beside him.

MR. BEAST:

“Logan.”

A pause.

“I watched what you said last week.”

MrBeast leans forward.

“You challenged me to a wrestling match.”

He nods.

“Fine.”

“I accept.”

MrBeast smiles.

“But then you had to make it interesting.”

He taps the desk.

“A Money in Your Bank Account Match.”

A beat.

“The loser loses everything in their bank account.”

MrBeast laughs.

“Logan...”

He shakes his head.

“You really should've thought that one through.”

MrBeast picks up his phone.

“I've spent years building businesses. I've spent years making money. I've spent years giving millions of dollars away.”

He puts the phone down.

“So I'm not scared of losing money.”

He smiles.

“But I think you should be scared of losing yours.”

MrBeast stands.

“You wanted to shut me up?”

He looks directly into the camera.

“Congratulations.”

“You're going to get your match.”

He points toward the camera.

“But at the end of it, Logan...”

A grin.

“I'm not taking your title.”

“I'm not taking your pride.”

“I'm taking your bank account.”

MrBeast walks away from the desk.

The camera stays focused on the empty chair.

After a moment, MrBeast's voice comes from off-camera:

MR. BEAST:

“Oh, and Logan?”

A pause.

“Make sure your account has something in it.”

As the promo ends, we can see that the members of The Algorithm as watched the Mr. Beast promo on a tv in their locker room, and Stevens tells Logan to handle it, as he cannot have a outsider like Mr. Beast interfere in their business. Then he switch his focus to Eli, telling him that it's also important for him to show himself from his best side tonight, as a win over Steiner would surely push him up the ladder. Logan tells Stevens he will take care of Mr. Beast, dont he worry. Eli tells Stevens he will take care of Steiner, dont he worry. Cassidy, says nothing, as usual....


Singles Matchup
Rex Steiner Vs Eli Drake

-----

This is what everyone has been waiting for. A black table sits in the center of the ring as we get back from commercials.

Three contracts laying in the middle of it. Each with their own pen for signing.

And standing behind the table is the General Manager of the company, Randy Orton.

Orton waits until the crowd settles before slowly bringing the microphone to his mouth.

RANDY ORTON:
“Ladies and gentlemen... welcome to the most important contract signing I have had to oversee since becoming General Manager.”

A mixed reaction from the crowd.

Orton looks down at the contracts.

RANDY ORTON:
“At A Cut Above, the World Championship will be defended in a Triple Threat Match.”

The crowd erupts.

“Joe Hendry.”

Another reaction.

“CM Punk.”

An even louder reaction.

“And the man who held this championship for two consecutive years... MJF.”

Boos rain down.

Orton simply smirks.

RANDY ORTON:
“Tonight, those three men have one job. Sign their names.”

Orton turns toward the entrance.

RANDY ORTON:
“So let's get this over with.”

JOE HENDRY
Joe Hendry's music hits.

Hendry walks onto the stage with his usual confidence, soaking in the crowd's reaction before making his way toward the ring.

He enters and immediately looks at the championship contract.

Then he looks at Orton.

Then toward the entrance.

JOE HENDRY:
“Randy... I've got to say, this is a little surreal.”

Hendry takes his seat.

JOE HENDRY:
“Not too long ago, I was standing across this ring from MJF with the whole world telling me the same thing.”

He pauses.

JOE HENDRY:
‘You can't beat him.’

The crowd begins to cheer.

JOE HENDRY:
“Two years. Two years of MJF telling everybody that he was the best thing that ever happened to this company.”

Hendry leans forward.

JOE HENDRY:
“And then at the biggest show of the year... I answered the challenge.”

A grin.

JOE HENDRY:
“And I took the title.”

Hendry signs his portion of the contract.

He puts the pen down.

JOE HENDRY:
“So I'm not here to debate whether I belong in this match.”

He looks toward the entrance.

JOE HENDRY:
“I already proved that.”

Suddenly—

MJF'S MUSIC HITS.

The crowd immediately erupts into boos.

MJF walks onto the stage in a suit, championship-style scarf around his neck, and an expression that suggests he's already bored.

He stops halfway down the ramp.

Looks at Hendry.

Looks at the contract.

Then smiles.

MJF
MJF slowly enters the ring.

He doesn't sit down.

Instead, he walks around the table and stands directly across from Hendry.

MJF:
“You know what I love about you, Joe?”

Hendry raises an eyebrow.

MJF:
“You actually believe that little fairy tale.”

The crowd boos.

MJF:
“You think because you got one lucky night against me... because you caught me off guard after two years of carrying this entire company on my back... that suddenly you're my equal?”

MJF laughs.

MJF:
“You're not.”

Hendry stands.

Orton immediately steps between them.

RANDY ORTON:
“Sit down.”

MJF stares at Orton.

Orton doesn't blink.

After a long moment, MJF sits.

MJF:
“Fine.”

He picks up the contract.

MJF:
“But let's establish something before I sign this.”

MJF points toward Hendry.

MJF:
“He beat me.”

Then he points toward the entrance.

MJF:
“And Punk beat him.”

MJF slowly smiles.

MJF:
“So why exactly does the guy who lost his championship to a cash-in get to walk into this match with the same opportunity as me?”

The crowd begins chanting:

“CM PUNK! CM PUNK! CM PUNK!”

MJF rolls his eyes.

MJF:
“Oh, please.”

He taps the contract.

MJF:
“I spent two years making this championship relevant. I defended it. I carried this company. I made people care.”

He looks directly at Hendry.

MJF:
“And then this guy gets one open challenge victory...”

He looks toward the entrance.

MJF:
“...and this guy gets to cash in a briefcase.”

MJF drops the contract.

MJF:
“No.”

A pause.

MJF:
“I don't sign this.”

The crowd boos.

Orton calmly picks up the contract.

RANDY ORTON:
“You don't have to.”

MJF's expression changes.

MJF:
“Excuse me?”

Orton looks at him.

RANDY ORTON:
“The match is already sanctioned.”

MJF stares at him.

RANDY ORTON:
“Your signature doesn't make the Triple Threat official.”

Orton pushes the contract back toward MJF.

RANDY ORTON:
“It just means you're acknowledging it.”

MJF laughs in disbelief.

MJF:
“You can't do that.”

RANDY ORTON:
“I just did.”

The crowd pops.

MJF gets to his feet.

MJF:
“You know what? Fine.”

He snatches the pen.

But before he signs—

CM PUNK'S MUSIC HITS.

The arena explodes.

Punk walks onto the stage wearing a black hoodie, microphone already in hand.

He takes his time getting to the ring.

MJF watches him with pure disgust.

Punk enters the ring.

He looks at Hendry.

Then MJF.

Then the contracts.

CM PUNK:
“I was wondering how long it would take before Maxwell started crying.”

The crowd laughs.

MJF immediately stands.

MJF:
“Shut your mouth.”

Punk smiles.

CM PUNK:
“That's the thing about you, Max.”

Punk steps closer.

CM PUNK:
“Two years as champion and somehow you're still the biggest bitch in the room.”

The crowd erupts.

MJF looks ready to explode.

Punk turns toward Hendry.

CM PUNK:
“And you.”

Hendry listens.

CM PUNK:
“You beat him.”

A nod.

CM PUNK:
“Congratulations.”

Punk pauses.

CM PUNK:
“But then I beat you.”

Hendry nods.

JOE HENDRY:
“You did.”

CM PUNK:
“So here's where I disagree with both of you.”

Punk looks between them.

CM PUNK:
“This isn't MJF's rematch.”

He looks at MJF.

CM PUNK:
“This isn't Joe Hendry's revenge.”

Then Punk points toward the championship.

CM PUNK:
“This is my championship.”

The crowd reacts.

CM PUNK:
“And at A Cut Above, I'm walking into that match as champion...”

Punk signs his contract.

CM PUNK:
“...and I'm walking out as champion.”

Hendry smiles.

JOE HENDRY:
“You know, Phil...”

Punk looks up.

JOE HENDRY:
“I've heard somebody say that before.”

Punk grins.

MJF suddenly laughs.

MJF:
“Oh, this is beautiful.”

Both men turn toward him.

MJF:
“Look at you two.”

MJF points between Punk and Hendry.

MJF:
“Joe, you think you're the hero because you ended my reign.”

He points at Punk.

MJF:
“And you think you're some great conquering champion because you stole the title from him.”

MJF puts both hands on the table.

MJF:
“But here's the truth.”

He looks directly into the camera.

MJF:
“Neither of you have ever had to carry the weight of being MJF.”

A pause.

MJF:
“You're both fighting over what's left.”

MJF signs his contract.

He throws the pen down.

MJF:
“I'm here to take back what was always mine.”

Silence.

Then Orton speaks.

RANDY ORTON:
“Good.”

Everyone looks at Orton.

Orton reaches beneath the table and pulls out another document.

RANDY ORTON:
“Because there's one more thing.”

MJF's smile disappears.

MJF:
“What?”

Orton holds up the additional document.

RANDY ORTON:
“After reviewing the history between the three of you... I decided I wanted to make sure there was absolutely no confusion about the rules.”

Orton places the document on the table.

RANDY ORTON:
“At A Cut Above, there will be no rematch clause.”

MJF looks confused.

RANDY ORTON:
“No automatic championship rematch for the loser.”

Hendry looks intrigued.

Punk nods.

MJF's face hardens.

RANDY ORTON:
“And because I'm tired of hearing about who deserves what... the winner of the Triple Threat will be the undisputed World Champion.”

Orton looks directly at MJF.

RANDY ORTON:
“Whoever wins.”

MJF slowly gets out of his chair.

MJF:
“You've got to be kidding me.”

Orton doesn't respond.

MJF points at the contract.

MJF:
“You're trying to screw me.”

RANDY ORTON:
“No.”

Orton leans forward.

RANDY ORTON:
“I'm giving you exactly what you asked for.”

A beat.

RANDY ORTON:
“A fair fight.”

MJF's eyes narrow.

Then—

MJF flips the table.

The contracts go flying.

Hendry immediately shoves MJF.

Punk steps in.

MJF swings at Punk.

Punk ducks.

GTS ATTEMPT—

MJF escapes.

Hendry grabs MJF from behind.

JOE HENDRY:
“YOU BELIEVE IN JOE HENDRY!”

MJF elbows free.

Punk goes for MJF.

MJF ducks again.

Punk nearly hits Hendry.

Hendry shoves Punk.

For one second, all three men stare each other down.

Then chaos.

Hendry and Punk trade blows.

MJF rolls out of the ring and watches from the floor, smiling.

He reaches under the ring.

He pulls out a chair.

The crowd boos.

MJF slides back into the ring.

CHAIR SHOT TO HENDRY—

Hendry ducks.

MJF nearly hits Punk.

Punk grabs the chair.

MJF lets go.

Punk throws it aside.

MJF turns—

GO TO SLEEP!

MJF collapses.

The crowd erupts.

Punk stands over MJF.

But Hendry grabs Punk from behind.

HENDRYKICK!

Punk drops.

Hendry turns toward MJF.

MJF is barely conscious.

Hendry lifts him.

WORLD'S STRONGEST SLAM!

MJF crashes to the mat.

Hendry stands tall.

The crowd chants his name.

Then Punk slowly gets back to his feet.

Hendry turns.

The two stare at each other.

Neither man moves.

MJF lies motionless between them.

Orton watches from outside the ring.

Finally, Orton raises the microphone.

RANDY ORTON:
“Ladies and gentlemen...”

He looks at the three men.

RANDY ORTON:
“That's your main event!”

Orton drops the microphone.

The camera focuses on the three competitors.

Punk slowly picks up the championship.

Hendry stares at him.

MJF watches from the mat.

And the final shot is Punk raising the title...

...while Hendry points at it...

...and MJF mouths:

“It's mine!”

Camera's fades to black as this episode of Jamboree is over....

We open up with a short promo/recap of all the actions regarding The EAM World Heavyweight Championship these last months, showing us everything, starting with when MJF won the championship strap in a Triple Threat Matchup against Keith Lee and Shawn Michaels at Grandslam 16. Then, all the time inbetween, with MJF slowly turning to the closet champion as of late, refusing to defend the title etc. until the devastating moment at Grandslam 18, and then... Punk's cash-in.... All this has lead us to tonight....

We cut to the Jamboree vignette...


Before the match, Hook cut's a short promo, but gets interrupted by his opponents music, who gets a big pop from the hometown audience, something that really annoys Hook.

EAM Television Championship Matchup
Hook (c) Vs " The Home Town Man " Cody Deaner

Cody Deaner feeds off the thunderous cheers of his home crowd, opening the contest by trying to overpower the champion. Hook remains completely unfazed, ducking a heavy right hand and instantly wrapping Deaner up in a series of crisp waist-lock takedowns. Deaner scrambles to the ropes, calling for a timeout, but the champion refuses to give him breathing room.

Deaner resorts to veteran ring-craft, dropping Hook throat-first over the top rope while the referee is positioned between them. Capitalizing on the moment, Deaner hits a DDT and hooks the leg, but Hook kicks out cleanly at two. Deaner whips Hook into the turnbuckle and attempts a charge, but Hook steps aside, driving a brutal combination of cross-face strikes and body shots into the challenger's ribs.

Hook hits a high-angle T-Bone suplex that drops Deaner right on his shoulder blades. Sensing victory, Hook stalks Deaner as he stumbles back to his feet, immediately locking in the REDRUM. Deaner fights valiantly against the choke while the local crowd cheers him on, but Hook sinks the rear-naked choke in deep. Deaner's strength rapidly fades, forcing the referee to stop the match as Hook retains the EAM Television Championship.

Winner and still EAM Television Champion: Hook

We cut to the backstage area where we hook up with Matt Hardy as he is walking aimlessly around in the corridoors, shouting for " Brother Nero " asking where he's gone. As he rounds a bend, he bumps into none other than Jay White and Adam Cole, and imidiately accuse them for doing something with his brother, demanding them to tell him. It all escalates as Scurll enters the scene, and the three of them go at Matt, who is helpless against the three of them, but it's not like he is not trying. Security finally enters the scene and manage to seperate them. We cut to commercials with Matt yelling to Scurll that he's gonna be sorry he even was born! Just you wait! We cut to commercials....


Tag Team Matchup
Chad Gable & Triple C Vs Jack Vaughn & Donovan Cecil

Jack Vaughn and Donovan Cecil aim to use their raw size advantage early, trapping Triple C in their corner with frequent tags and heavy isolation tactics. Cecil grounds Triple C with a side headlock before tagging in Vaughn for a double-team shoulder tackle. Triple C withstands the onslaught, slipping beneath a boot from Vaughn to execute a springboarding arm drag that gives him enough space to reach his corner.

Chad Gable enters on a hot tag and explodes into action. Gable delivers a pair of belly-to-belly suplexes to Cecil, then catches an incoming Vaughn with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors. Gable and Triple C hit double dropkicks that send both opponents tumbling to the arena floor.

When Cecil drags Gable out to the floor, Triple C launches off the top turnbuckle with a crossbody to the outside, taking out Cecil. Inside the ring, Vaughn tries to catch Gable off-guard with a powerslam, but Gable counters mid-air into an Ankle Lock. Vaughn desperately crawls toward the ropes, but Triple C cuts off Cecil on the apron with an enzuigiri. Gable vine-drags the leg, locking the submission in deep until Vaughn taps out.

Winners: Chad Gable & Triple C

We get a pre-taped segment next, as the camera cut's and we find ourselves in some kind of office. Behind the desk sits Mr.Beast, with a stack of cash beside him.

MR. BEAST:

“Logan.”

A pause.

“I watched what you said last week.”

MrBeast leans forward.

“You challenged me to a wrestling match.”

He nods.

“Fine.”

“I accept.”

MrBeast smiles.

“But then you had to make it interesting.”

He taps the desk.

“A Money in Your Bank Account Match.”

A beat.

“The loser loses everything in their bank account.”

MrBeast laughs.

“Logan...”

He shakes his head.

“You really should've thought that one through.”

MrBeast picks up his phone.

“I've spent years building businesses. I've spent years making money. I've spent years giving millions of dollars away.”

He puts the phone down.

“So I'm not scared of losing money.”

He smiles.

“But I think you should be scared of losing yours.”

MrBeast stands.

“You wanted to shut me up?”

He looks directly into the camera.

“Congratulations.”

“You're going to get your match.”

He points toward the camera.

“But at the end of it, Logan...”

A grin.

“I'm not taking your title.”

“I'm not taking your pride.”

“I'm taking your bank account.”

MrBeast walks away from the desk.

The camera stays focused on the empty chair.

After a moment, MrBeast's voice comes from off-camera:

MR. BEAST:

“Oh, and Logan?”

A pause.

“Make sure your account has something in it.”

As the promo ends, we can see that the members of The Algorithm as watched the Mr. Beast promo on a tv in their locker room, and Stevens tells Logan to handle it, as he cannot have a outsider like Mr. Beast interfere in their business. Then he switch his focus to Eli, telling him that it's also important for him to show himself from his best side tonight, as a win over Steiner would surely push him up the ladder. Logan tells Stevens he will take care of Mr. Beast, dont he worry. Eli tells Stevens he will take care of Steiner, dont he worry. Cassidy, says nothing, as usual....


Singles Matchup
Rex Steiner Vs Eli Drake

Rex Steiner sets a blistering pace early on, charging across the ring the moment the bell sounds to slam Eli Drake into the turnbuckle with relentless shoulder thrusts. Drake scrambles to the outside to regroup, but Steiner follows close behind, hurling Drake into the steel ring steps.

Back inside, Drake gains control with a thumb to the eye behind the referee's back, following up with a neckbreaker. Drake controls the tempo, wearing down Steiner with chinlocks and talking trash to the crowd. Steiner fights back with sheer power, lifting Drake off his feet for an overhead belly-to-belly suplex that turns the momentum completely.

Just as Steiner sets up for his finisher, Cassidy rushes down the aisle to interfere. Cassidy climbs onto the ring apron to distract the referee while throwing a distraction toward Steiner. Drake tries to capitalize, attempting to roll up Steiner from behind with a hand full of tights. Steiner stays alert, kicking out at two and shoving Drake directly into Cassidy, sending Cassidy crashing off the apron to the floor.

As a stunned Drake turns around, Steiner intercepts him with a spear. Steiner lifts Drake into a military press and drops him into a powerslam, hooking the leg for the three-count victory despite the outside interference.

Winner: Rex Steiner

-----

This is what everyone has been waiting for. A black table sits in the center of the ring as we get back from commercials.

Three contracts laying in the middle of it. Each with their own pen for signing.

And standing behind the table is the General Manager of the company, Randy Orton.

Orton waits until the crowd settles before slowly bringing the microphone to his mouth.

RANDY ORTON:
“Ladies and gentlemen... welcome to the most important contract signing I have had to oversee since becoming General Manager.”

A mixed reaction from the crowd.

Orton looks down at the contracts.

RANDY ORTON:
“At A Cut Above, the World Championship will be defended in a Triple Threat Match.”

The crowd erupts.

“Joe Hendry.”

Another reaction.

“CM Punk.”

An even louder reaction.

“And the man who held this championship for two consecutive years... MJF.”

Boos rain down.

Orton simply smirks.

RANDY ORTON:
“Tonight, those three men have one job. Sign their names.”

Orton turns toward the entrance.

RANDY ORTON:
“So let's get this over with.”

JOE HENDRY
Joe Hendry's music hits.

Hendry walks onto the stage with his usual confidence, soaking in the crowd's reaction before making his way toward the ring.

He enters and immediately looks at the championship contract.

Then he looks at Orton.

Then toward the entrance.

JOE HENDRY:
“Randy... I've got to say, this is a little surreal.”

Hendry takes his seat.

JOE HENDRY:
“Not too long ago, I was standing across this ring from MJF with the whole world telling me the same thing.”

He pauses.

JOE HENDRY:
‘You can't beat him.’

The crowd begins to cheer.

JOE HENDRY:
“Two years. Two years of MJF telling everybody that he was the best thing that ever happened to this company.”

Hendry leans forward.

JOE HENDRY:
“And then at the biggest show of the year... I answered the challenge.”

A grin.

JOE HENDRY:
“And I took the title.”

Hendry signs his portion of the contract.

He puts the pen down.

JOE HENDRY:
“So I'm not here to debate whether I belong in this match.”

He looks toward the entrance.

JOE HENDRY:
“I already proved that.”

Suddenly—

MJF'S MUSIC HITS.

The crowd immediately erupts into boos.

MJF walks onto the stage in a suit, championship-style scarf around his neck, and an expression that suggests he's already bored.

He stops halfway down the ramp.

Looks at Hendry.

Looks at the contract.

Then smiles.

MJF
MJF slowly enters the ring.

He doesn't sit down.

Instead, he walks around the table and stands directly across from Hendry.

MJF:
“You know what I love about you, Joe?”

Hendry raises an eyebrow.

MJF:
“You actually believe that little fairy tale.”

The crowd boos.

MJF:
“You think because you got one lucky night against me... because you caught me off guard after two years of carrying this entire company on my back... that suddenly you're my equal?”

MJF laughs.

MJF:
“You're not.”

Hendry stands.

Orton immediately steps between them.

RANDY ORTON:
“Sit down.”

MJF stares at Orton.

Orton doesn't blink.

After a long moment, MJF sits.

MJF:
“Fine.”

He picks up the contract.

MJF:
“But let's establish something before I sign this.”

MJF points toward Hendry.

MJF:
“He beat me.”

Then he points toward the entrance.

MJF:
“And Punk beat him.”

MJF slowly smiles.

MJF:
“So why exactly does the guy who lost his championship to a cash-in get to walk into this match with the same opportunity as me?”

The crowd begins chanting:

“CM PUNK! CM PUNK! CM PUNK!”

MJF rolls his eyes.

MJF:
“Oh, please.”

He taps the contract.

MJF:
“I spent two years making this championship relevant. I defended it. I carried this company. I made people care.”

He looks directly at Hendry.

MJF:
“And then this guy gets one open challenge victory...”

He looks toward the entrance.

MJF:
“...and this guy gets to cash in a briefcase.”

MJF drops the contract.

MJF:
“No.”

A pause.

MJF:
“I don't sign this.”

The crowd boos.

Orton calmly picks up the contract.

RANDY ORTON:
“You don't have to.”

MJF's expression changes.

MJF:
“Excuse me?”

Orton looks at him.

RANDY ORTON:
“The match is already sanctioned.”

MJF stares at him.

RANDY ORTON:
“Your signature doesn't make the Triple Threat official.”

Orton pushes the contract back toward MJF.

RANDY ORTON:
“It just means you're acknowledging it.”

MJF laughs in disbelief.

MJF:
“You can't do that.”

RANDY ORTON:
“I just did.”

The crowd pops.

MJF gets to his feet.

MJF:
“You know what? Fine.”

He snatches the pen.

But before he signs—

CM PUNK'S MUSIC HITS.

The arena explodes.

Punk walks onto the stage wearing a black hoodie, microphone already in hand.

He takes his time getting to the ring.

MJF watches him with pure disgust.

Punk enters the ring.

He looks at Hendry.

Then MJF.

Then the contracts.

CM PUNK:
“I was wondering how long it would take before Maxwell started crying.”

The crowd laughs.

MJF immediately stands.

MJF:
“Shut your mouth.”

Punk smiles.

CM PUNK:
“That's the thing about you, Max.”

Punk steps closer.

CM PUNK:
“Two years as champion and somehow you're still the biggest bitch in the room.”

The crowd erupts.

MJF looks ready to explode.

Punk turns toward Hendry.

CM PUNK:
“And you.”

Hendry listens.

CM PUNK:
“You beat him.”

A nod.

CM PUNK:
“Congratulations.”

Punk pauses.

CM PUNK:
“But then I beat you.”

Hendry nods.

JOE HENDRY:
“You did.”

CM PUNK:
“So here's where I disagree with both of you.”

Punk looks between them.

CM PUNK:
“This isn't MJF's rematch.”

He looks at MJF.

CM PUNK:
“This isn't Joe Hendry's revenge.”

Then Punk points toward the championship.

CM PUNK:
“This is my championship.”

The crowd reacts.

CM PUNK:
“And at A Cut Above, I'm walking into that match as champion...”

Punk signs his contract.

CM PUNK:
“...and I'm walking out as champion.”

Hendry smiles.

JOE HENDRY:
“You know, Phil...”

Punk looks up.

JOE HENDRY:
“I've heard somebody say that before.”

Punk grins.

MJF suddenly laughs.

MJF:
“Oh, this is beautiful.”

Both men turn toward him.

MJF:
“Look at you two.”

MJF points between Punk and Hendry.

MJF:
“Joe, you think you're the hero because you ended my reign.”

He points at Punk.

MJF:
“And you think you're some great conquering champion because you stole the title from him.”

MJF puts both hands on the table.

MJF:
“But here's the truth.”

He looks directly into the camera.

MJF:
“Neither of you have ever had to carry the weight of being MJF.”

A pause.

MJF:
“You're both fighting over what's left.”

MJF signs his contract.

He throws the pen down.

MJF:
“I'm here to take back what was always mine.”

Silence.

Then Orton speaks.

RANDY ORTON:
“Good.”

Everyone looks at Orton.

Orton reaches beneath the table and pulls out another document.

RANDY ORTON:
“Because there's one more thing.”

MJF's smile disappears.

MJF:
“What?”

Orton holds up the additional document.

RANDY ORTON:
“After reviewing the history between the three of you... I decided I wanted to make sure there was absolutely no confusion about the rules.”

Orton places the document on the table.

RANDY ORTON:
“At A Cut Above, there will be no rematch clause.”

MJF looks confused.

RANDY ORTON:
“No automatic championship rematch for the loser.”

Hendry looks intrigued.

Punk nods.

MJF's face hardens.

RANDY ORTON:
“And because I'm tired of hearing about who deserves what... the winner of the Triple Threat will be the undisputed World Champion.”

Orton looks directly at MJF.

RANDY ORTON:
“Whoever wins.”

MJF slowly gets out of his chair.

MJF:
“You've got to be kidding me.”

Orton doesn't respond.

MJF points at the contract.

MJF:
“You're trying to screw me.”

RANDY ORTON:
“No.”

Orton leans forward.

RANDY ORTON:
“I'm giving you exactly what you asked for.”

A beat.

RANDY ORTON:
“A fair fight.”

MJF's eyes narrow.

Then—

MJF flips the table.

The contracts go flying.

Hendry immediately shoves MJF.

Punk steps in.

MJF swings at Punk.

Punk ducks.

GTS ATTEMPT—

MJF escapes.

Hendry grabs MJF from behind.

JOE HENDRY:
“YOU BELIEVE IN JOE HENDRY!”

MJF elbows free.

Punk goes for MJF.

MJF ducks again.

Punk nearly hits Hendry.

Hendry shoves Punk.

For one second, all three men stare each other down.

Then chaos.

Hendry and Punk trade blows.

MJF rolls out of the ring and watches from the floor, smiling.

He reaches under the ring.

He pulls out a chair.

The crowd boos.

MJF slides back into the ring.

CHAIR SHOT TO HENDRY—

Hendry ducks.

MJF nearly hits Punk.

Punk grabs the chair.

MJF lets go.

Punk throws it aside.

MJF turns—

GO TO SLEEP!

MJF collapses.

The crowd erupts.

Punk stands over MJF.

But Hendry grabs Punk from behind.

HENDRYKICK!

Punk drops.

Hendry turns toward MJF.

MJF is barely conscious.

Hendry lifts him.

WORLD'S STRONGEST SLAM!

MJF crashes to the mat.

Hendry stands tall.

The crowd chants his name.

Then Punk slowly gets back to his feet.

Hendry turns.

The two stare at each other.

Neither man moves.

MJF lies motionless between them.

Orton watches from outside the ring.

Finally, Orton raises the microphone.

RANDY ORTON:
“Ladies and gentlemen...”

He looks at the three men.

RANDY ORTON:
“That's your main event!”

Orton drops the microphone.

The camera focuses on the three competitors.

Punk slowly picks up the championship.

Hendry stares at him.

MJF watches from the mat.

And the final shot is Punk raising the title...

...while Hendry points at it...

...and MJF mouths:

“It's mine!”

Camera's fades to black as this episode of Jamboree is over....
