WHERE: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
THEME SONG: "ENEMY" by Imagine Dragons ft. J.I.D.
OPENING
A live feed of fans entering the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, can be seen as the sounds of “Enemy” by Imagine Dragons featuring J.I.D. begins to play gently at first. The sound of the fans chatter and excitement can be heard for several moments, before the first verse swings around.
I wake up to the sounds of the silence that allows
For my mind to run around with my ear up to the ground
I'm searching to behold the stories that are told
When my back is to the world that was smiling when I turned
Tell you you're the greatest
But once you turn they hate us
A motion graphic appears on the screen showing our opening match. Kurtis Slayne, flanked by Gideon Marx, is seen looking all too serious as his right hand reaches up to show off crimson fingers. On the right, Trafalgar Law crosses his arms over his chest as he wears a bright grin. A flash appears on the screen, soon transitioning into the next graphic.
Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy
(Look out for yourself)
My enemy (look, look, look, look)
(Look out for yourself)
But I'm ready
Charlie Barlow is shown on the left, VHS tape wrapped around their fists as they raise them towards the screen in front of them. They make a punching motion, before Ellie Quinn shows up to the right. She's stone faced as she merely gives the finger towards the camera. Another flash as we once again transition to the next scene.
Your words up on the wall as you're praying for my fall
And the laughter in the halls and the names that I've been called
I stack it in my mind and I'm waiting for the time
When I show you what it's like to be words spit in a mic
Tell you you're the greatest
But once you turn they hate us
(Huh)
Joseph Blaze appears on the right, hands formed in prayer, as he slowly drops to his knees. For a moment, it seems he's praying, before arms stretch wide and he throws his head back towards the heavens. Christopher Graves appears on the left, large smile as he merely waves at the camera in front of him.
Uh, look
Okay, I'm hoping that somebody pray for me
I'm praying that somebody hope for me
I'm staying where nobody 'posed to be
P-P-Posted, being a wreck of emotions
Ready to go whenever, just let me know
Drunken clown stumbles into the scene, bottle of alcohol in his clutches as he raises it towards the camera in a cheers motion. He soon begins to dry heave, looking for the nearest trashcan as Glum shows his true nature. On the right, Meatball is seated on his motorcycle. Smoke billows from his lips and cigar clenched between teeth. He revs the engine for added effect.
The road is long, so put the pedal into the floor
The enemy on my trail, my energy unavailable
I'ma tell 'em hasta luego
I know they wanna plot on my trot to the top
I've been outta shape, thinkin' out the box, I'm an astronaut
I blasted off the planet rock to cause catastrophe
And it matters more because I had it not
Gin comes onto the scene in all anime fashion, he comes onto the scene from the shadows. A large sword made out of foam carried on his back. He suddenly whips it out, holding it in a fighting manner. While on the right, M.A.N. and Scarlett Rose stand side by side. The two share a kiss, before smirking as the camera pans out in a whirl.
Had I thought about wreaking havoc on an opposition
Kinda shocking they wanted static with precision, I'm automatic
Quarterback, I ain't talkin' sacking
Pack it, pack it up, I don't panic
Batter, batter up, who the baddest?
It don't matter 'cause we at ya throat
Finally, Chloe XO and Danielle share the left side of the screen. Danielle holding a compact mirror as Chloe perfects her makeup. On the right, Scar stands with The Pride, a large leopard at his feet as it lets out a roar to close things out.
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
My enemy
Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy
As we head back to the arena, the camera pans over the electric crowd that cheers wildly. It’s a sold out show and they’re all packed in and ready to go as the music slowly fades out.
Pray it away, I swear
I'll never be a saint, no way
My enemy
Pray it away, I swear
I'll never be a saint
OPENING MATCH
KURTIS SLAYNE VERSUS TRAFALGAR LAW
SINGLES MATCH
The arena is plunged into darkness as the first sounds of organ music begin to play. As the electric guitar joins in, a pair of white spotlights scan around the crowd, eventually moving to the entrance way. The lights crisscross until they reach the entrance and fall upon a lone figure, their head bowed forward and covered by the hood of their sleeveless black vest. His hands rest at his sides, but the sharpened silver ring that covers his left index finger cannot be ignored. The music suddenly cuts away as the opening lyrics echo in acapella, and the figure keeps his focus on the ground at his feet.
“Wake up
Grab a brush and put a little make-up
Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go create another fable”
The music rejoins the lyrics, at which time he raises his head to look at the ring in the distance. Methodically, he begins to walk toward it, maintaining his forward gaze no matter what the fans along the entrance way do or say.
“You wanted to
Grab a brush and put a little makeup
You wanted to
Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up
You wanted to
Why'd you leave the keys upon the altar?
You wanted to
I don't think you trust
In... My... Self-righteous suicide
I... Cry... When angels deserve to die”
He slides under the bottom ring rope and holds his body on the canvas, his torso raised as his palms press against the mat. He stares forward at the hard camera, revealing the skeletal paint that has been applied to the left side of his face. His pale blue eyes stare ahead, cold and emotionless.
“Ohhhhh, Wake up
Grab a brush and put a little make-up
Hide the scars to fade away the
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go create another fable
You wanted to
Grab a brush and put a little make-up
You wanted to
Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up
You wanted to
Why'd you leave the keys upon the altar?
You wanted to”
As the music slows but the lyrics continue, he pushes himself backwards on his hands and knees until he reaches the corner of the ring. He presses himself to a standing position against it, before turning and stepping onto the second turnbuckle.
“I don't think you trust
In... My... Self-righteous suicide
I... Cry... When angels deserve to die
In, my, Self-righteous suicide
I, cry, when angels deserve to die”
When the song begins to speed back up with the return of electric guitar, he reaches up with his left hand and pulls back his hood, simply staring at the fans without gesturing to them or giving them a hint of emotion. He then brings his hand to his chest as he tilts his head back and closes his eyes. There is almost an aura of ecstasy about him as he runs the silver finger ring across his bare flesh, creating a self-inflicted cut that drips streaks of crimson down his torso. At that moment, the two white spotlights turn to a deep shade of red, one remaining upon him as the other multiplies into many and they dance over the audience.
“Father (father)
Father (father)
Lucifer (Lucifer)
Satan (Satan)
Father, into your hands I commend my spirit
Father, into your hands
Why have you forsaken me?
In your eyes forsaken me
In your thoughts forsaken me
In your heart forsaken me
Trust in my self-righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die
In my self-righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die"
When the song reaches its conclusion, he steps back down to remove his vest and the crimson-tainted finger ring, before resting his forehead on the top turnbuckle, content to remain in that position until the opening bell has rung.
Inside the ring, Trafalgar Law is already warming up, having made his entrance first. As soon as the bell rings, all hell breaks loose for both competitors. As they meet in the middle, Kurtis ambushes Trafalgar with a series of an onslaught of elbow strikes. They’re right to the point and straight to the face of Trafalgar with no mercy. Kurtis whips Trafalgar into the ropes, both opponents leapfrogging over one another. When Kurtis is back to his feet, but Trafalgar takes his opponent down with a wicked Discus Clothesline. The crowd backs him as he gets to his feet, dragging Kurtis along with him.
Elbow is driven into the ribcage of Trafalgar as Kurtis looks to free himself. Another elbow driven into the sternum this time and Trafalgar breaks his hold. Kurtis positions Trafalgar properly, before dropping his opposition onto his head with zero remorse. The crowd shows their disdain for the moment, booing loudly as Kurtis goes for a pin. He hooks the leg, Trafalgar seemingly a bit out of it.
ANTONIO CRUZ: ONE!
Trafalgar kicks out, much to Kurtis’ dismay. The fans cheering loudly as Trafalgar tries to get back into the swing of things. Trafalgar makes some space between the two, spinning Kurtis outwards after a stiff right hand to the jaw. As Kurtis makes a return, Trafalgar nails Kurtis with a wicked Buster Wolf! Spinning Back Elbow nails right on the money and Kurtis stumbles a bit before falling face first onto the canvas. Trafalgar flips him over, positioning him in the center of the ring for the pin.
ANTONIO CRUZ: ONE… TWOO… THR-
Kurtis kicks out, shifts and twists around until he’s got Trafalgar between his legs. He swings lefts and rights to the temples of Trafalgar until Antonio Cruz issues a warning. Kurtis gives his opponent slight breathing space, sizes him up, until Trafalgar is on shaky feet. Kurtis seems to turn animalistic. Growling and teeth gnashing in a predatory way. Before anyone can so much as breathe, Kurtis shoots forward to nail Trafalgar with a devastating Eye For an Eye! Running Knee Strike connects and Kurtis hooks both legs this time.
ANTONIO CRUZ: ONE… TWOO… THREEE!
VERA KNIGHT: Here is your winner via pinfall… KKKKKUUUUURRRRRTTTTTIIIIISSSSS SSSSSLLLLLAAAAAYYYYYNNNNNEEEEE!
MATCH TWO
CHARLIE BARLOW VERSUS ELLIE QUINN
SINGLES MATCH
Neither opponent shows up, instead, there’s a commotion in the backstage area. Backstage, Charlie Barlow is found savagely attacking Ellie Quinn. Neither members of Culture Shock seemingly around. Blood is leaking from the nose of Ellie Quinn, but Charlie isn’t bothered in the slightest. VHS tape is shoved into the mouth of Ellie and Charlie tugs back on both of Ellie’s arms… before stomping her face into the concrete floor with zero remorse. Ellie is left laid out on the concrete, Charlie wiping blood from their hands onto their face as security comes through to break things up.
MATCH THREE
JOSEPH BLAZE VERSUS CHRISTOPHER GRAVES
SINGLES ACTION
As we return from commercial break, both men are inside the ring. It’s a wicked back and forth effort, though Joseph seems a bit more methodical this time around. Christopher tries to get his head in the game, but Joseph is just too much for him to handle this time around. Joseph shows superiority this time around, The Message, signalling the end for Christopher Graves. Fireman’s Carry into Rings of Saturn forces Christopher to tap out as Joseph wrenches on the hold to apply more pressure. The bell rings signalling that Christopher had indeed tapped out.
VERA KNIGHT: Here is your winner via submission… JJJOOOSSSEEEPPPHHH BBBLLLAAAZZZEEE!
MATCH FOUR
MEATBALL VERSUS GLUM
SINGLES ACTION
Following up from such an impressive match, Glum takes on Meatball in singles action. There’s a lot to take in here as both men look to come out on top. Meatball is gaining the upperhand, but Glum pulls some sort of powder from his pocket. White powder is blown into the face of Meatball as the larger male stumbles around for a moment. Glum connects with a wicked Palm Strike to the bridge of the nose as Meatball’s head snaps back with the force. Booger Sugar connects, but it’s not enough to keep Meatball down for even a mere second. Meatball isn’t having any of it as he slowly begins to come back to his senses. There’s a fire in the eyes of the large male who begins firing away with wicked left and right strikes to the clown. Meatball lifts Glum into position before dropping him down for the Bad Driver. Jackhammer connects and Meatball goes for the cover.
ANTONIO CRUZ: ONE… TWOO…
No! Glum attempts to roll Meatball up for a roll up, but there’s no dice as Meatball shoves away from the clown. Glum bounces off of the opposing ropes, only to be met with a Lariat that nearly knocks the lights out. It doesn’t end there though. Meatball lifts Glum up, positioning the clown into position for Executing The Plan. Package Piledriver connects and Meatball goes for the pin.
ANTONIO CRUZ: ONE… TWOO… THREEE!
VERA KNIGHT: Here is your winner via pinfall… MMMEEEAAATTTBBBAAALLL!
Meatball glares at his fallen opponent, shaking his head as he exits the ring with a grimace.
MATCH FIVE
GIN KUROMIYA VERSUS M.A.N.
SINGLES ACTION
It’s a holly jolly time for both men involved in the match. However, things take an unexpected turn when Gin goes for the Diable Jambe. Roundhouse Kick is ducked by M.A.N. and instead connects to the head of Antonio Cruz. Antonio falls to the canvas and Gin blinks slightly as he is unsure how everything went wrong. However, it’s not Gin who should be worried about anything except what’s behind him.
Joseph Blaze is inside the ring as M.A.N. stands in a corner trying to grasp what just happened. -As Gin whips around, Joseph nails him with a devastating Savior’s Sacrifice. Kata-Gatame connects and Gin is laid out as Joseph exits the ring a moment after. Antonio is slowly coming to his senses as M.A.N. looks to take full advantage, he drops into the cover and hooks both legs.
ANTONIO CRUZ: ONE… TWOO… THREEE!
VERA KNIGHT: Here is your winner via pinfall… M.A.N.!
M.A.N. exits the ring as Joseph has left to stand in the crowd. His arms stretched outwards like a cross as Gin holds his neck inside of the ring. The two stare daggers at one another as we head into our final commercial break.
MAIN EVENT
CHLOE XO VERSUS SCAR
SINGLES ACTION
For Chloe, this is another opportunity to show that a pretty face can do far more damage than anyone can guess. For Scar, he’s looking to get a W in the column. Scar gets the upperhand in the match far too soon for Chloe’s liking. Right hand strike to the jaw and a pop-up position gives Scar an opening for I Want The Throne. Bicycle Knee Strike stuns Chloe who drops to the canvas like dead weight. Scar wastes no time in going for a pin.
ANTONIO CRUZ: ONE… TWOO…
Chloe kicks out with vigor as she throws all of her weight into it. Chloe rakes the eyes of Scar, buying herself a little time as she slowly gets to her feet. She whips Scar into a corner, following behind swiftly. With the momentum, she pivots as she gets close enough, and delivers a Spinning heel Kick to the face. Scar stumbles out of the corner as Chloe capitalizes on the moment. She grabs Scar once more, spins him out before nailing him with a Ripcord Knee Strike. But, she doesn’t stop there. A Leaping Flatliner follows up and Chloe floats into the cover.
ANTONIO CRUZ: ONE… TWOO… THR-
Scar rolls through, attempting a School Boy Roll-Up, but Chloe doesnt let him get that far. She quickly rolls through, crawls towards the corner where Danielle is, and hurriedly retrieves a small bag from her. But, Scar has it scouted as Chloe whips around. He kicks her hand, spilling glitter everywhere in front of him. He swings around using his momentum to nail the To Die For! Slingblade connects and he fgollows through as he grabs one of Chloe’s hands. He climbs up onto the top rope, using it for momentum, before flipping and twirling to nail the Killmonger! UFO Cutter seals the deal as he drops down into the cover.
ANTONIO CRUZ: ONE… TWOO… THREEE!
VERA KNIGHT: Here is your winner via pinfall… SSSCCCAAARRR!
Scar gets to his feet, yanking his arm out of Antonio’s grasp. He glares down at the fallen Chloe, who is swiftly yanked out of the ring by Danielle. Dusting his shoulders off, the final scene we see is Scar in all of his glory before the show comes to a close.
