ANONYMOUS XTREME WRESTLING PRESENTS...
..::Live from Madison Square Garden, New York City, New York::..
..::December 21st::..
..::11 PM - On The XHF Network::..
Pyro erupts from the stage as The Classic, the final PPV of AXW begins! Madison Square Garden is Sold Out as The Rolling Stone's "Paint It Black" plays out through the arena as we show the fans packing into their seats before cutting to Derrick Donovan and BB Gunn.
Derrick Donovan: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome yourselves to our last Pay Per View and last show to close off 2018 with The Classic! I'm joined as always by my broadcast partner-in-crime, "Boom Boom" BB Gunn!
BB Gunn: I am so excited for tonight, so many big time matches and I'm finally glad to get on with the show!
Derrick Donovan: Before that, let's run down the card for those who don't know what's here for you fans tonight.
BB Gunn: Our opening bout is the Finals of The Scorpion Classic as The Anomoly faces off against Anthony Caffrey, and the winner advances to our Main Event match.
Derrick Donovan: Right after that is a Fatal Four Way Deathmatch with Darlene Price, Curtis D. Kanyon, Phobia and Bone Devil. That promises to be one not for the faint of heart.
BB Gunn: And right after that is our XHF European Championship Match between Dreadvan and Roger Riggs in their final battle.
Derrick Donovan: Let's hope we didn't get a Cease and Desist for saying "Final Battle" but speaking of final battles... Our Main Event contests of Duke Kosloff facing the winner of The Scorpion Classic Finals, tough match but I'm sure it's one you don't want to miss!
BB Gunn: Can we get on with the show?
Derrick Donovan: Yes, buckle up, BB! We're in for a wild ride! Let's get this show underaway as it all starts...
Both: NOW!
The lights dim, and a black and white filter comes over the screen for viewers at home. The beat kicks up, and smoke fills the stage. A figure rises through the smoke as the lyrics kick in.
I got a song filled with shit for the strong-willed
When the world gives you a raw deal
Sets you off 'til you scream, "Piss off! Screw you!"
When it talks to you like you don't belong
Or tells you you're in the wrong field
When something's in your mitochondrial
'Cause it latched on to you, like—
A sonic BOOM! is heard, and the old fans pop. The old Anomoly mask pops up on the screen, and a familiar voice belts out through the speakers.
If you don't know this song, then turn the fuck around and walk on home! Synyster, hit this shit!
The opening riffs to Anomoly's old theme, "Walk" by Avenged Sevenfold begin to play, but before they can get too far in, it's over-run by "A New Level." The lights finally come up, and Anomoly stands on the stage, arms raised, his mask and body paint stylized in the likes of Venom. He slowly stalks down the ramp, rolling into the ring while ignoring the crowd reaction. He leans back in the corner, eyes focused on the referee as he awaits for Caffrey to enter the arena.
Derrick Donovan: Anomoly promises everyone he will become a two time AXW Undisputed Champion but can he live up to that promise?
BB Gunn: He's also wanting revenge on Caff- Speak of the devil and he shall apppear...
"My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark" plays from the PA, and the crowd shakes in thunderous boos for the leader of the AVA, Anthony Caffrey. Caffrey has not yet arrived.
Derrick Donovan: Where's Caffrey?
BB Gunn: Maybe he's already backed out of the match.
The music stops and the lights in the arena go dark as a smoke machine begins. The lights in the arena flicker and flash as “Dreams and Nightmares” by Meek Mill begins to plays on the PA instead. Anthony Caffey emerges from beneath the ramp on a rising platform, back facing the camera, wearing a custom Eagles “Caffrey” jersey. Caffrey points to his number: he is #1. He turns and walks down the ramp, cocky, smug, and arrogant as ever. As he reaches the ring, he puts his foot on the step for his usual posturing, but instead points at his shoulder and makes a snapping motion, referencing the last time these two men fought. He smiles his sinister showman smile as the crowd boos and climbs into the ring. He takes his jersey off and throws it down before perching himself into the corner.
BB Gunn: Well, the man struts around supporting his home state of Philadelphia, but can they help him win this match and advance to the finals?
Derrick Donovan: The odds are with him tonight, he has beaten both Anomoly and Kosloff in the past so he would be a favourite to win it all.
The Scorpion Classic Finals
Anthony Caffrey vs The Anomoly
[DING!! DING!!]
Both men circle the ring, the fans are cheering as the Referee signals the start to the match. Caffrey goes for a test of strength. Anomoly looks at him and shakes his head in disbelief.
BB Gunn: Does either of these men have the size required to hold any kind of advantage in this?!
Derrick Donovan: I really don't know what Caffrey's game is here, but one thing to remember is he always has a plan!
Anomoly finally decides to take up Caffrey on his offer and links his right hand with Caffrey's left. Caffrey immediately pulls Anomoly in to deliver a short armed clothesline, sending Anomoly down to the mat within the first fifteen seconds of the match!
Derrick Donovan: There it is!
BB Gunn: Well we can't argue that Caffrey played that one smart!
Caffrey dives right on Anomoly!
[...ONE!...]
[...KICKOUT!...]
BB Gunn: Although you can't disagree with Caffrey's method there, he would have needed to hit Anomoly a lot harder to make that work!
Derrick Donovan: He knows that he potentially has two matches tonight. The other being with a fresh AXW Undisputed Champion, Duke Kosloff. He wanted to end this early and give himself the best chance he could get at destroying the Champion!
Caffrey goes right back to work on Anomoly, grabbing a rear chinlock on the longest reigning AXW Undisputed Champion. Anomoly fights the hold and finds a way out of it, sending Caffrey into the ropes, adjusting his mask only to get hit with a running shoulder tackle.
BB Gunn: Anomoly is down again and Caffrey is looking HOT tonight!
Caffrey stomps on Anomoly as soon as he hits the ground and Anomoly winces, holding his arm in pain. Caffrey is like a Shark sensing blood as he dives onto it, trying to apply an arm bar. Anomoly manages to scrap his way out of it and get to the other side of the ring. Anomoly rolls his shoulder around to try and shake out the pain before they go again. Caffrey swings a clothesline but Anomoly ducks, catching a turning Caffrey with a nice arm drag, sending him across the ring, Caffrey charges in again only to be hit with a dropkick! Caffrey retires to the outside of the ring to gather his thoughts as Anomoly celebrates.
Derrick Donovan: Well just like that, Caffrey's efforts from the start of the match got levelled! Anomoly used the veteran's advantage to turn the tables!
Caffrey is running down the Referee's count as Anomoly hits the ropes and dives over the top rope. Caffrey dives to the side, but we see Anomoly was faking the dive and only landed on the apron, so as Caffrey turns around, all he sees is Anomoly running towards him and planting a right boot on his nose! Caffrey hits the deck hard, clutching at his face as Anomoly drops off the apron, stalking Caffrey like prey. Caffrey makes it to his feet and the Referee has already given up counting these men out.
BB Gunn: Well it seems that the Referee got the same instructions again about not counting out these guys! Duke Kosloff needs ONE opponent for later tonight and it looks like that's the call the Referee has made here!
Anomoly chases after Caffrey, who is trying to run, but it seems more of a stumble. They make it half way around the ring before Caffrey leaps out from behind a ring post and tackles Anomoly as he rounds the corner. Anomoly hits the rails hard and Caffrey simply lifts up his legs and bundles him into the front row on his head!
Derrick Donovan: Anomoly looks dazed right now! He looked like he took that impact right on his head and neck area and that's not what you want!
Derrick Donovan: No shit it's not! The guy potentially has a match to gain back the AXW Undisputed Championship later tonight! You think he wants to do that with a broken neck?
Caffrey rolls back into the ring, he yells at the Referee and the Referee starts to count!
[...ONE!...]
BB Gunn: You mean count outs only count when one guy is still in the ring here?
Derrick Donovan: It seems to be the case. That way, we definitely come out of this match with a winner!
BB Gunn: Yeah that seems a little off.
[...TWO!...]
[...THREE!...]
A few fans haul Anomoly back over the rail. Not so much because they like him, but they want to see a fight!
[...FOUR!...]
Anomoly shakes the cobwebs out before heading back to the ring steps.
[...FIVE!...]
The Referee backs Caffrey away from the corner, to allow Anomoly back into the ring. Anomoly gingerly climbs through the ropes and Caffrey immediately bumrushes him into the corner! Lefts, Rights, Boots are all flying in Anomoly's direction and he doesn't know which are of his body to cover first! The barrage of abuse continues until finally the Referee tells Caffrey to get Anomoly out of the corner. Caffrey utilizes four and a half seconds of the five count before finally breaking up the assault. The Referee tries to get in his face and warn him, but Caffrey brushes it off, only to be met by a hail Mary clothesline from Anomoly, sending both men to the mat!
BB Gunn: That's the break Anomoly needed!
Anomoly makes a quick cover!
[...ONE!...]
[...TW-KICKOUT!...]
Anomoly manages to get to his feet as Caffrey struggles to all fours, trying to regain a sense of composure from the heavy hit he just took. Anomoly stomps again on Caffrey's head before hauling him up, only to send him back down with a BIG suplex! Caffrey's face shows the pain as he clutches at his back. Anomoly mobilizes his joints, before putting a Camel Clutch on Caffrey. Caffrey screams in pain as Anomoly wrenches back.
Derrick Donovan: Well we've seen Caffrey put away many a guy before, but the question is, how much sustain does he have in a position like this? How long can he last before he needs to tap?
Caffrey fights the hold, but he's too far from the ropes! Anomoly wrenches right back, but in doing so, leaves just enough of an opening for Caffrey to grab his left leg, taking him off balance and dropping him on his back on the mat. Pure adrenaline guides Caffrey around into a leg grapevine before Anomoly knows what is even going on.
Derrick Donovan: Now it's the former Champion on the receiving end of the torture!
BB Gunn: We said it last time, these men seem to have some sort of knowledge of each other's arsenal and know their way out of as much of it as they can avoid!
Anomoly bangs the mat in frustration and Caffrey tries to convince the Referee that it was a submission, but to no avail. Anomoly screams that he won't submit, amongst a few curse words. Caffrey wrenches again on the hold, but Anomoly manages to make the ropes, triggering a count from the Referee! Caffrey yells in frustration and breaks the hold, again at the last possible second. Caffrey with another cover!
[...ONE!...]
[...TWO!...]
[...KICKOUT!...]
Derrick Donovan: Caffrey is a smart guy! He hooked the injured leg there, he knew that kickout out would cause Anomoly more pain! I'd bet he didn't even expect to get the win there!
Caffrey is back to his feet and looking for a way to end this quick. He doesn't want to exert any more effort than he physically has to. Anomoly is stirring as Caffrey cautiously climbs the ropes. Caffrey stops astride the top rope as the crowd start to jeer. He takes offence at what they say, deciding to jaw jack with them before leaping off the top rope...
BB Gunn: Anomoly reversed it into the Anarky Bomb!!!
Anomoly crawls over, draping his arm over Anthony Caffrey for the...
[...ONE!...]
[...TWO!...]
Derrick Donovan: WHAT?!?!
The fans go wild as The Ecstacy of Gold plays over the sound system. A few seconds pass and Jackson Steele emerges from the back! The Referee is distracted by what's going on and Caffrey is still no closer to getting off the mat! The crowd continue the count...
[...FIVE!...]
[...SIX!...]
[...SEVEN!...]
Anomoly finally gets the hint, Jackson Steele walks up the ramp, signalling to Anomoly that Caffrey is "his" as he walks quickly to the ring. All of a sudden, Caffrey manages to grapevine the leg of Anomoly, pulling him into Caffrey's Ankle Lock!!
Derrick Donovan: Oh no! This could be it for Anomoly! Caffrey has already gone after the left leg of Anomoly and now he has it sinched in!
Anomoly fights the hold as the shot switches to Steele on the outside. Steele is mouthing that he didn't mean for Anomoly to end up like that, but business is business. Anomoly fights the pain more and more as he claws towards the ropes. He makes it to within inches of the ropes before his hand falls limp onto the canvas and the Referee calls for the bell!
The winner of the match as a result of stoppage and advancing to the finals of the Classic...Anthony Caffrey!!
Anomoly rolls out of the ring slowly as Caffrey accepts his arm being raised by the Referee, all the while gloating about how he told us so!
Derrick Donovan: Love him or hate him, you can't help but get the feeling that Anomoly was just robbed, right there!
Caffrey makes his way over to the ropes and invites Steele into the ring, who gladly accepts the invite, jogging up the stairs. Caffrey looks at him, fury in his eyes. Steele answers with nothing more than that big, moneymaking grin. Caffrey calls for a mic.
Anthony Caffrey: Who the hell do you think you are?! More importantly, do you know who I am?!
Jackson Steele: Who do I think I am? Let me tell you who I think I am! I'm the longest reigning AWF Champion, a two time AWF Champion and the Winner of the 2017 End of Days....And you are?
Anthony Caffrey: I'm the guy that puts YOU out of commission, Steele!
Jackson Steele: Well if you put me out of commission, then why am I still here?! All you did was piss me off!
Anthony Caffrey: So what? You came back to stick your nose where it don't belong?
Jackson Steele: When you've been here longer than two weeks kid, you'll know that my nose belongs anywhere I want to put it! I don't care if you have another match tonight....Hell if it wasn't for me, I doubt you'd have even made it through that match! But I say let's settle this like men...At the nex-
Caffrey lands a shot in the side of Steele's head, sending him reeling. Instantly, Caffrey dives on Steele, blow after blow finds it's way to Steele's face, his blood spatters the canvas.
BB Gunn: Oh shit! Caffrey almost lost his shot at the gold and Steele is about to pay the price!
Caffrey continues the onslaught as Steele tries to cover up. Eventually, Steele rolls the mount over, so he can get shots in on Caffrey. Caffrey takes a good few shots to the injured face already before reaching in and raking Steele's eyes! Steele recoils in pain as Caffrey manages to wriggle free. Steele tries to find his way around the ring blind, but before he knows it, he's been thrown shoulder first into the ringpost! Caffrey laughs as he slides out of the ring and grabs the timekeepers bell. He slides back in and winds up as Steele manages to free himself from the ropes and turn around.....DINK!!! The bell bounces off Steele's head and immediately, Steele is out cold and still gushing blood!
Derrick Donovan: Damnit, get some help out here!
Caffrey grabs hold of Steele's ankle, applying the same Ankle Lock he just had Anomoly beaten with! Steele writhes in pain, trying anything to get out of the hold!
Derrick Donovan: Isn't that?
BB Gunn: Yeah! That's the ankle Steele injured before in his time at AWF!
Caffrey holds onto the hold, wrenching at it like a man possessed! Steele keeps on trying to escape, instinctively grabbing the ropes as Caffrey laughs at the attempt to get a rope break. Steele is starting to fade and Caffrey finally lets go of the hold, but only to slide outside the ring and to grab a chair from underneath it! He slides back in and locks the chair onto Steele's ankle. Medics are starting to pour out of the backstage area as Caffrey sits on the top rope.
Anthony Caffrey: Any of you get in here, I'll do it!
The Medics stop dead where they are. They start trying to reason with Caffrey as Steele lays half conscious on the ground, a chair around the already injured ankle. Caffrey talks to them for a few seconds and starts looking like he's about to dismount the buckle. But all of a sudden, he jumps!
CRACK!!!
Steele screams out as the pain makes him regain consciousness for a few seconds. Medics rush into the ring as Caffrey casually slides out and heads to the back!
[...YOU SICK FUCK!! YOU SICK FUCK!!...]
Derrick Donovan: Folks, I don't know what we just witnessed and we will do our best to get an update to you as soon as possible.
BB Gunn: You don't know?! We just witnessed Anthony Caffrey potentially end the career of Jackson Steele right before he takes on the AXW Undisputed Champion, Duke Kosloff!
Caffrey goads the fans who are throwing trash at him as we head to a break!
Derrick Donovan: What a match that was! We now know who will take on Duke Kosloff later tonight in order to crown the final AXW Undisputed Champion of the year!
BB Gunn: There's been so many too! Storm Crow held the old AXW Championship, Anomoly won that from him, unifying it with Lethe...or Phobia's FWA Championship.
Derrick Donovan: Then the curse began! Curtis D. Kanyon won it, using the briefcase he acquired from the World War 3 rumble, only for James Raymond to use the Anonymous Assault Championship merger to take the Undisputed Championship.
BB Gunn: Yeah, unfortunately for him, his reign only lasted a few weeks, as Nate Pierce also used his briefcase to take the title from him on his first defence!
Derrick Donovan: It was crazy! Now here we stand, just a few weeks after Duke Kosloff was granted a shot at Nate Pierce and possibly upset the Wrestling world by winning the Championship, right after the finalists for the Classic were revealed!
All of a sudden, the arena is plunged into darkness. Purple lights start swirling around as Motherfucker of the Year by Motley Crue starts to play over the system.
Derrick Donovan: Oh what's he doing here?
The purple lights continue to swirl around before finally converging on one spot on the ramp. They show Bobby Barratt, arms outstretched. In one hand he holds the XHF Tag Team Championship... In the other he holds his briefcase for End of Days. The crowd start throwing trash at him as he slowly saunters down to the ring.
BB Gunn: I'm not sure what's more surprising. That he's here, or he's here alone!
Derrick Donovan: Well Icons often don't fly alone, so I wouldn't count those Chickens yet, Gunn!
Bobby makes it to the ring, hanging half through the ropes as he trash talks fans before getting into the ring, the spotlights following him to each buckle as he holds his accomplishments high, for all of the AXW fans to see. Finally, he calls for a mic and heads to the middle of the ring, setting the case down in front of him and putting his title onto his shoulder.
Bobby: Well, well, well. I guess I'm the last person you'd expect to see here, right?
[...BOOS...]
Bobby: Well as I'm sure you all know by now, as of "A Very AWF Christmas" I'll no longer be employed by AWF, I no longer have to appear on their shows and I no longer have to answer to that geriatric prick, Terry Bradshaw!
[...A-X-DUB! A-X-DUB!...]
Bobby: Well the truth is, I NEVER answered to him! The Icons did as the Icons wanted and the fact of the matter is that we don't need them! We never needed to be a part of their constant games between authority, we never needed to tow their company line. We arrived, we did what we said we would do and we fucking ruled and will always rule that place like Kings! Challengers tried to take us on, pretenders tried to take our crown, but every one of them failed. In the end, that place couldn't contain us and we are taking our massive list of accomplishments and leaving the place in the hands of Maverick.
Derrick Donovan: So has Bobby Barratt signed with AXW?
Bobby: So it brings me to the question you're all probably asking right now. Why is he here?
The fans quieten down. They want the scoop.
Bobby: Well. I heard there's a tournament going on for a shot at the AXW Undisputed Championship. I figured I haven't won that yet....so....
Bobby looks down, bending down and picking up the End of Days briefcase.
Bobby: So I figured that I might have to take an interest in what goes on tonight.... You know... Out of curiosity! So tonight I'll be watching the final match. I'll be watching to see who walks out with that Championship. That's your warning. Whoever walks out with that title tonight... You might want to watch your back....Icon....Out!
Motherfucker of the Year hits as the fans are left in a state of confusion as to whether Bobby has signed with AXW. Bobby walks off up the ramp and we go to our next match.
Absolute Zero by Stone Sour starts to play over the speakers, Darlene comes out at the "The bloody angle, the symmetry Your cheap adhesive isn't holding me" eyeing the crowd for a second before she makes her way down to the ring, high-fiveing a few random fans here and there, she circles the ring slowly as her song plays, she then steps back, runs and slides onto the ring apron on her knee at "I can bleed if I want to bleed" she rests her back on the top rope her arms draped over it, she sticks her tongue out to the crowd, she then throws her arms out into the crucifix pose at "You're looking at an absolute zero I'm not the devil but I won't be your hero" She then turns and leaps into the ring, tossing her jean vest off either out of the ring or towards her opponent if they are already in the ring. She goes to her corner and starts to stretch legs waiting for the match to start.
Derrick Donovan: The daughter of The Messiah of Hardcore, it's Darlene Price. I wonder if she's going to follow in her daddy's footsteps.
BB Gunn: She wouldn't like to be known only as being Price's daughter, but that's the harden facts.
Derrick Donovan: Big Fact Energy.
The eerie start of "Cold Skeleton" by Yonosuke Kitamura plays on the speakers, the lights dimming down before quickly flashing into a bright state as the song picks up in intensity. Striding out onto the stage, Bone Devil lazily looks around at the crowd and with a shake of his head, starts to proceed down the ramp, ignoring the fans trying to get a high five out of him. He hops up onto the apron, catapulting himself into the ring before jumping up onto the near turnbuckle, staring out into the crowd for a long moment and soon enough he hops back down into the ring, walking over to the far corner as he waits for the start of the match.
BB Gunn: Now this is someone I'm quite interested to see what he can bring to the table.
Derrick Donovan: Finally, Bone Devil makes his debut in AXW and he's amongst the top stars.
BB Gunn: You'd call Phobia a top star?
Hail to cheif starts to play, but after twenty seconds, it screeches to a halt. Then, "Amerika" by Rammstein begins to play.
"We're all living in Amerika,
Amerika ist wunderbar
We're all living in Amerika,
Amerika, Amerika"
Curtis D. Kanyon emerges from the curtain when the drums kick in, with a sledgehammer draped over his shoulder.
"Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen
Die Freiheit spielt auf allen Geigen
Musik kommt aus dem Weißen Haus
und vor Paris steht Micky Maus"
Curtis pounds his chest with his fists then raises the hammer in the air. He walks down to the ring, nodding to the fans. He grabs a "MAKING AMERICA BANG!" sign from a fan and shows it to the camera!
"We're all living in Amerika
Coca-Cola, Wonderbra
We're all living in Amerika
Amerika, Amerika"
Curtis then climbs into the ring and goes to the turnbuckles. He climbs a turnbuckle and pounds his chest. He points to the crowd with his hammer, then hoists it straight up into the air and yells "BANG!" He jumps down and looks ready for action.
Derrick Donovan: With two girls in this match, Kanyon would like to bang them both.
BB Gunn: ...
Derrick Donovan: What?
BB Gunn: Next entrant please.
Music hit, and out walks Phobia, sticking her middle finger to everyone, runs toward the ring and slides under the bottom rope, and gets in the face of all her opponents.
BB Gunn: Let me get this straight... Phobia and Darlene Price, who's father broke her neck... and here we are.
Derrick Donovan: Maybe Darlene can finish the job better than her father?
BB Gunn: Possibly.
Derrick Donovan: The daughter of The Messiah of Hardcore, it's Darlene Price. I wonder if she's going to follow in her daddy's footsteps.
BB Gunn: She wouldn't like to be known only as being Price's daughter, but that's the harden facts.
Derrick Donovan: Big Fact Energy.

Fatal 4 Way Deathmatch
Darlene Price vs Phobia vs Curtis D Kanyon vs Bone Devil
[...DING DING! DING DING!..]
Phobia screams, and charges at Darlene. The two tumble outside of the ring as Kanyon walks over to the side they tumbled out of. He begins to cheer for them, even pulling a wad of cash out and tossing it over them. Phobia and Dar trade blows tumbling back and forth as Benjamins fall over them. BB reaches over, snagging a handful of cash and stuffing it in his shirt pocket.
BB Gunn: I'll keep this for later tonight.
Dono rolls his eyes, but then points up to the ring.
Derrick Donovan: Look out for Bone Devil!
As Kanyon is distracted by the chick fight, Bone Devil sneaks up behind him and rolls him up!
[...ONE...]
[...TWO...]
[...KICKOUT!...]
BB Gunn: Close call by Kanyon! Bone Devil almost got him there!
Derrick Donovan: But Kanyon ain't having that! Those two are about to butt heads now!
Kanyon stands straight up and marches over to Bone Devil, yelling in his face. The masked madman simply looks into the camera, shrugs, and begins to lay the smackdown on the President of the United States. Kanyon stumbles comedically into the corner as Bone Devil strikes him with body blows. He tries to knee CDK in the gut, but Kanyon grabs it and shoves him off. BD tumbles back and as he gets back up, Kanyon levels him with a clothesline that pops from the crowd!
Phobia mounts Dar and begins to choke her out! Her face turns violet like her highlights, but Phobia's made the mistake of giving Dar reach under the ring. She reaches under the ring and pulls out... nothing. She swings a right at Phobia, and it's that point we can clearly see a pair of brass knucks adorning her fist! With one fell strike, she knocks the delusional psychopath off of her and to the floor!
BB Gunn: Dar knocked that bitch out! One Pumch Girl!
Derrick Donovan: Meanwhile, Bone Devil and Kanyon are beating the holy hell out of each other, and they haven't even begun to use weapons!
Kanyon has thrown BD out of the ring and is showing off for the crowd. He raises his arms...
[...BANG!...]
He looks around wildly, and does it again...
[...BANG!...]
He smiles and raises his arms repeatedly, starting a chant.
[...BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!...]
He points at Bone Devil, and runs the ropes, looking to do a suicide dive! Except, he baseball slides under the ropes, only to be clocked in the jaw with a metal bat by Bone Devil!
BB Gunn: Sa-wing battah battah schwing!
Bone Devil twirls the bat around, aiming for another shot to put the POTUS down for good, but out of nowhere Dar flies in with a kendo stick off the top rope! She knocks BD down, rolling up the walkway, and she turns to face the man she's been waiting to face all night.
CDK is still gassed after Bone Devil's attack, so he can barely stay focused to notice the incoming kendo stick shot.
[...CRACK!...]
The sound the kendo stick makes a resounding shot throughout MSG. But surprisingly, does not bust him open. Kanyon stands up, and begs for more. Dar obliges, wailing Kanyon again and again with the stick. Kanyon grabs the stick and boots her away. He begins to stalk her, but notices his big hammer laying on the ground. He smirks, and picks it up. He chases after Dar, who backs right into Phobia, awake and alive! She turns, sees Phobia, and turns back around to get nailed right in the face with the big heavy hammer. Both "ladies" tumble backwards, and Kanyon puts his boot on Phobia's midsection, stopping her from moving. He jumps up, and brings the hammer down, crushing her skull into the mat!
BB Gunn: Good lord! Kanyon intent on murder tonight!
Derrick Donovan: It is a deathmatch, BB.
When Kanyon removes the hammer from Phobia, her head is gushing out blood.
BB Gunn: Kanyon draws first blood! Phobia is bleeding!
Bone Devil, who's made his way up and into the ring. Watching the carnage, he chuckles to himself and spits on Phobia. Kanyon turns to Bone and shouts at him, but Dar is stalking him like a shark stalks chum. She grabs Kanyon, spins him around...
[...PRICE CRASH!...]
(Leaping Left-Armed Stunner)
The crowd pops thunderously for Dar using her daddy's infamous move. But she ain't done. She tears apart the padded mat outside the ring and takes a few steps back. As Kanyon begins to stir...
[...FACH STOMP...]
(Curb Stomp)
The crowd cheers as Kanyon's head crunches off the concrete, and on the rebound his head is a bloody mess! Dar poses, and turns to Bone Devil, who's still leaning on the ropes observing the action. He waves to Darlene, who flips him off in response. This provokes him to roll out of the ring, and get in the face of Dar. She picks up a glass light, and BD responds by picking up a taser.
BB Gunn: Oh shit, this won't be good.
Dar swings at BD, as he lunges forward with the taser. She's tased as he's smacked with a glass light. Bone Devil stumbles about, and then puts her in position for...
[...DEVIL'S ESSENCE...]
(Guitarra de Angel)
Dar is planted on the ground, and Bone Devil slumps to the floor against a barricade, looking worn out.
Derrick Donovan: What's gonna happen now?
BB Gunn: Shut up and wait, Dono. Shut up and wait.
As if on cue, Kanyon begins to stir. He picks himself up, and sees everyone around him. He walks over to Phobia, nudges her with his foot, and picks her up. He picks her up on his shoulders, and carries her into the ring, and climbs up the top turnbuckle.
Derrick Donovan: Oh no...
BB Gunn: He's not gonna do that, is he?
Kanyon, bleeding profusely from his head, lifts Phobia up to the top rope. She comes back into consciousness, and begins to flail about. It's to no use, as a Secret Service agent drags two barbed wire tables under him, on top of the exposed concrete. He then lights the tables on fire, and scrambles over the barricade. Kanyon, the sadictic bastard that he is, looks down and smiles.
BB Gunn: DON'T DO IT KANYON!
Derrick Donovan: YOU'LL KILL HER!
Kanyon does the unthinkable. He jumps up...
[...HOLY $HIT PILEDRIVER...]
(Piledriver)
...and plants Phobia through two flaming, barbed wire wrapped tables.
BB Gunn: HOLY FUCKING SHIT!
Derrick Donovan: WITH V AS MY WITNESS, HE BROKE HER SMACK-DAB IN HALF!
Ring attendees come in with fire extinguishers and put out the flames. Phobia is basically dead. She's rolled into the ring, and Kanyon slides under the ropes, and is face to mask with Bone Devil. Both men are panting, broken, and probably bleeding. But they get right in each others faces as if this was a new battle all over and begin to lob everything they've got at each other. Rights, lefts, every ounce of their beings is thrown into their strikes. Kanyon stumbles, and Bone Devil grabs him...
[...DEVIL'S ESSEN-NO!]
Kanyon shoves him off, and as BD hits the ropes...
[...BAAAAAAAAAAAANG!...]
BD crumples, as Kanyon collapses on top of him.
[...ONE...]
[...TWO...]
[...THREE...]
[...DING DING! DING DING!...]
BB Gunn: Kanyon has proved it time and time again, he's the most hardcore of them all.
Kanyon is helped to his feet by Secret Service, but before they can remove him from the carnage, the lights go out. And when they come back on, a man in a hoodie is leveling CDK! The Secret Service scatter, as the man in the hoodie looks around, his face obscured.
Derrick Donovan: Who the hell is this? Who the hell has the audacity to attack Kanyon after such a deathly match?
The crowd goes berzerk, they know who it is. They begin to chant...
[...PRICE! PRICE! PRICE! PRICE!...]
But it is not the Messiah of Hardcore. No, this man is someone much more... Hardkore.
The King of Kontroversy.
Killa Kai.
The crowd become absolutely unglued, Killa Kai hasn't been seen since the End of Days tournament finals! He stares down at Kanyon, who feebly reaches up to him. Kai runs the ropes, and as Kanyon makes it to his feet, defiant as ever...
[...MURDER-SPREE DDT...]
(Front Flip DDT)
The crowd go absolutely insane. Kai points to CDK, and slashes his neck with his thumb. He rolls out of the ring, listening to the deafening reaction from the crowd. Milking in the cheers, the boos, the love and hate.
BB Gunn: It's almost like Infinity War just took place in the Madison Square Garden!
Derrick Donovan: Really, BB? Cheap pop culture references to get us over?
BB Gunn: We're gonna need a wrecking crew to clean up this mess. We'll be back in a few, with the European Championship on the line! Don't miss it!
The theme plays. He walks out. Well, swaggers out more like. Focused entirely on the ring, thats what he makes a beeline for. But, he can't help but showboat a lil bit. Generally just all business.
Derrick Donovan: What could be his final chance at the XHF European Championship for a while, Riggs looks to season things up by gaining the title tonight.
BB Gunn: Either that, or we suffer another salty Riggs meltdown.
Derrick Donovan: What could be his final chance at the XHF European Championship for a while, Riggs looks to season things up by gaining the title tonight.
BB Gunn: Either that, or we suffer another salty Riggs meltdown.
The music plays and instantly everyone in the arena the fans scream so hard they spit up blood after a few seconds. Eventually, Dreadvan's large frame makes it's way through the curtain. He does his best to antagonize the fans, but they scream harder still for the Dreadvan. He makes his way slowly towards the ring, his size makes it a long, drawn out process, but he makes it and waits.
Derrick Donovan: And here comes the champion! The Demon is here!
BB Gunn: Shouldn't this be easy pickings for Dreadvan? I mean, if my memory is clear enough, Riggs has never beaten Dreadvan.
Derrick Donovan: That is very true, but do not count out Riggs just yet.
XHF European Championship Match
Dreadvan (c) vs Roger Riggs
[DING DING!]
Riggs comes running right after Dreadvan and connects with a stiff forearm smash but Dread takes no damage, not even a flinch. Dread grabs Riggs by the throat and launches him into the turnbuckle behind him and connects with some closed fist punches to the stomach, followed up with a chop that echoes through the arena.
[WOOOOOOOOO!]
Stylin' and Profilin'... Dreadvan struts his stuff away from Riggs before doing a 180 and hitting a corner splash onto Riggs, Riggs rolls out of the ring and Dread has an idea as he looks out to Riggs on the outside...
BB Gunn: He's not... He wouldn't...
He runs at the ropes, rebounds, but is caught by Riggs with
[THE LETHAL WEAPON!]
(Running, Stiff Front Dropkick)
Dreadvan falls, Riggs goes for the cover on the Champ...
[...O- KICKOUT!...]
Derrick Donovan: Wait what?!
BB Gunn: How did Dreadvan kickout so quickly?
Derrick Donovan: I don't... I don't know.
Dread gets back to his feet but Riggs strikes the tree trunk like legs of Dread with heavy kicks, Dread pushes Riggs out of his way but Riggs rolls on his back and to his feet but he's met with Dread and a Big Boot to the face. Quickly enough, Riggs gets back to his feet and delivers a kick to the gut of Dread, Riggs grabs a hold of Dread in a headlock and cranks away on his neck before hitting a DDT. Riggs crawls to the ropes and climbs to the top rope and drops an elbow into the heart of Dreadvan, a pinfall is made by Riggs.
[...ONE...]
[...KICKOUT...]
Riggs' frustration begins to build, he needs this win. He heads out of the ring and pulls up the ring skirt, looking for some "toys" to play with.
BB Gunn: Is this No DQ?
Derrick Donovan: No?
BB Gunn: What is Riggs doing?
Out from under the ring, Riggs pulls out a Singapore Cane and enters the ring, Dreadvan staggers to his feet as Riggs eyes him up and ready to swing but Dread catches the Cane as it goes under his arm. Dread pulls it off of him and snaps it in two and throws it away. Riggs goes for some punches and chops to the chest but Dread counters with his own chop, Riggs tries to dodge the chop but it catches him right in the throat, knocking Riggs down as he wheezes and coughs to catch his breath. The referee checks up on Riggs and is about to call the fight to a halt but Riggs gets back to his feet, amazingly ready to continue on with the fight.
Derrick Donovan: How... Just how...
BB Gunn: Indeed, Riggs is a Loose Cannon but his health is at risk.
Dreadvan clotheslines Riggs, who at this point is coughing up blood, as some falls onto the ring mat. Dread, unknowing the situation, picks up Riggs in a Powerbomb position.
[THE CARWRECK!]
(Sitout Crucifix Bomb)
And quickly locks in a Sleeper Hold he calls "Season Finale", his grip around Riggs' neck is getting tighter and the amount of blood is getting too much. The referee notices the blood and rings for the bell, ending the match due to Riggs' health
The winner via referee stoppage... and STILL XHF European Champion... Dreadvan!
BB Gunn: Did we miss something? I can't see what's happening.
The referee throws up the X signal, calling for immediate EMT personnel to come to the ring, the replay of the final decision shows the bloodied arm of Dreadvan and the unconscious Riggs, both Derrick and BB are now aware of the situation. Dreadvan exits the ring with the championship in hand and is escorted to the back. Riggs still being checked out as thousands of fans grow their concern as a stretcher is brought out, they put Riggs into a neckbrace and get him onto the stretcher, they wheel him out as he receives a thunderous crowd appreciation for himself.
Derrick Donovan: Well folks, this match had to end abruptly due to what transpired with Riggs, we wish him a speedy recovery.
BB Gunn: Even one simple mistake in the ring can cost a career or a life.
Derrick Donovan: Stick around as we have the Main Event with Duke Kosloff and Anthony Caffrey for the AXW Undisputed Championship, don't go anywhere.
“My Song Knows What You Did in the Dark” plays from the PA, and the crowd boos the leader of the AVA and the winner of the Scorpion Classic, Anthony Caffrey.
The music cuts and the lights go off in the arena once again. The music that plays is called “The Roman Empire” as six men dressed in Roman-soldier garb emerge from behind the curtain. They carry the wounded Wrestling Emperor, Anthony Caffrey, who is wearing a white and purple toga and a golden laurel wreath. He is seated on a majestic throne and is displaying his sinister showman smile as the men carry him to the ring. The crowd boo him fiercely, he pays them no mind.
Derrick Donovan: Remember I said about how Caffrey has already beaten Anomoly and Kosloff tonight?
BB Gunn: Yes?
Derrick Donovan: He's beaten Anomoly tonight and now he's got Kosloff. Coincidence?
BB Gunn: Clearly not. Pure luck? Yes.
Caffrey exits his throne once it gets to the ring steps. He puts one foot on the ring steps and points to it, making a snapping motion to reference the last time these two men fought, before walking up and into his ring. Caffrey stands in the center of the ring and surveys his empire. He takes his golden laurel wreath off of his head and holds it up for the crowd, who boo him even more. He then sheds his toga to reveal his wrestling attire underneath. He [sells the beatdown that Anamoly gave him] before turning his attention to the ramp, awaiting the AXW Undisputed Champion.
The arena goes dark red and gold lights start to flash as the arena fills with smoke. A monster slowly appears walking down the ramp as pyros shoot flames into the air you can hear "I See Fire" by Ed Sheeran playing. He methodically enters the ring stepping over the top rope and standing like a God in the center of the ring with the AXW Undisputed Championship around his waist as he waits for the bell to ring.
BB Gunn: People are still in shock he even won the championship from Nate Pierce, and so am I.
Derrick Donovan: I am too but he deserves the title as much as any of the previous champions.
BB Gunn: Even Raymond?
Derrick Donovan: sigh ... Yes, even Raymond.
BB Gunn: People are still in shock he even won the championship from Nate Pierce, and so am I.
Derrick Donovan: I am too but he deserves the title as much as any of the previous champions.
BB Gunn: Even Raymond?
Derrick Donovan: sigh ... Yes, even Raymond.
AXW Undisputed Championship Match
Duke Kosloff vs Anthony Caffrey
The referee walks to the center of the ring to meet Duke, who unstraps and hands him the championship. Anthony Caffrey walks over to the center as well, mouthing the whole way. Duke stares with an intensity that may actually make you feel the burn. The ref holds the belt up as the crowd pops. This is it. This is the main event.
BB Gunn: Look at Caffrey, Dono, he actually has a pleased look on his face.
Derrick Donovan: He is sick. What he did to Steele was completely uncalled for. In any event, he is your Scorpion Classic winner and now has a chance to parlay that into gold.
[...DING! DING!...]
As the ref calls for the bell, Duke begins to stalk Caffrey who just mocks the giant. The crowd gets a little restless as they want action. Duke is clearly getting annoyed while Anthony Caffrey seems to be having a good time. Duke lunges in for a grapple but the quicker Caffrey is able to sidestep him and lands a few strikes. Duke grabs at him again, and again another sidestep and jab combination.
Derrick Donovan: Anthony Caffrey letting Duke bring the fight to him and showing he is the quicker of the two here. I'm not sure how good that will continue to work for him.
BB Gunn: You can see it's getting on Duke's nerves.
Duke goes for another grapple but this time when Anthony Caffrey goes to sidestep it, Duke spins around and meets him with a back elbow strike that knocks Caffrey off balance and into the ropes. As he bounces off and comes back towards Duke, the champion is there to catch him with a sidewalk slam. Duke immediately goes for a pin fall.
[...ONE!...]
[...TWO!...]
[...KICKOUT!...]
Derrick Donovan: Duke almost putting it away early there. Did you hear the thunder form that sidewalk slam?
BB Gunn: Maybe Caffrey will stop playing about and get to work here. Duke is no walk in the park. He is the AXW Undisputed Champion for a reason.
Derrick Donovan: Let's also not forget that Caffrey has already competed once tonight and that wasn't an easy match either. In fact, Anomoly may have won had it not been for the interference of Steele.
BB Gunn: May have? What did the crowd get to? Eight? Nine?! I really hate what happened to Jackson Steele tonight, but if he had stayed in the back Anomoly would be in this match and Steele would still be walking.
After the near fall, Duke walks back to a corner and just stares at his opponent. There is a certain swagger to the Natural Born Killer that hasn't been there before. Championships will do that to you. Caffrey slowly pulls himself up in another corner and Duke charges in for a spear. Right before impact, Caffrey snaps to life and moves but Duke also anticipates this, putting his arms out and stopping himself from ramming his shoulder into the corner. He turns around but is immediately taking down with a drop toe hold. Caffrey rolls out of the hold and immediately grabs Dukes ankle to try and go for an ankle lock. Duke kicks with all his strength and Caffrey is launched into and over the top rope as he takes an awkward landing on the apron and down to the floor. The fans cheer loudly as the ref beings to count.
[...ONE!...]
Derrick Donovan: Did you see the strength there? Amazing.
BB Gunn: What is amazing is this crowd is cheering for Duke. You don't often hear that, but with someone like Caffrey, that happens I guess.
[...TWO!...]
Caffrey slowly gets up and tries to stretch out whatever bump he just took. He definitely looks a little more annoyed than usual but quickly he just dusts himself off and walks around the ring slowly.
[...THREE!...]
The crowd jeers. They boo. They spit. Yet, Anthony Caffrey just revels in it. Duke is seething in the ring, daring him to get back in.
[...FOUR!...]
Caffrey is not having any of it. Angrily, Duke gets out of the ring to go after the challenger. As soon as he exits though, Caffrey slides back in. with a huff, Duke goes to crawl back in but Caffrey drops a knee to the back of his head as he does so. He mounts Duke and beings to slap the back of his head over and over as the ref tries to break it up.
Derrick Donovan: What an ass.
BB Gunn: He is playing a dangerous game, Dono.
Duke pushes himself up to all fours and the image in the ring is almost comical. Caffrey motions to the crowd like he is riding a damn bull. Then he goes for a rear naked choke but Duke's neck is too strong for him to lock it in all the way. The seven-plus footer stands to his feet with Caffrey holding on. All of a sudden the Mr. Scorpion Classic's eyes widen as Duke flies backwards and lands with all his weight on Caffrey as they crash down to the mat. Duke rolls off and catches his breath as Caffrey clutches his side.
Derrick Donovan: You know, as someone who predominately depends on submissions, how do you make someone like Duke tap out.
BB Gunn: The same way he beat Anomoly earlier.
Derrick Donovan: well, Anomoly didn't tap he passed out from the pain. I'm not sure if Caffrey can apply the same pressure to the champion here.
Caffrey makes it to his feet surprisingly the same time Duke does. Duke goes for a clothesline and Caffrey ducks it, bounces off the rope and before Duke can get turned around Caffrey hits him with a sickening chop block that drops the champion down to a knee. He grabs Duke and plants him with a variation of his Brotherly Love DDT. He grunts as he rolls Duke over onto his back and hooks a leg for a pin.
Derrick Donovan: DDT and there is the cover! Maybe he doesn't need a submission after all, One! Two! Thre-- NO! Duke kicks out just in time.
BB Gunn: Oh man I thought that was three. And apparently so did Caffrey. He is giving the ref an ear full. Now what is he doing?
Caffrey walks past the ref to the corner and blatantly starts to unwrap the top turnbuckle. The ref comes over and admonishes him and Caffrey just throws his hands up in innocence. The ref demands he moves and Caffrey obliges. While the ref is trying to tighten the turnbuckle back in its place, Duke is making it back to his feet. With the ref distracted, Caffrey moves in behind Duke and drops to his knees and uppercuts the big man. Right between the legs.
Derrick Donovan: What a cheap shot!
BB Gunn: I'm almost impressed by how Anthony Caffrey outsmarted the ref there just to get one over on Duke. Duke is in a lot of pain.
As Duke is doubled over and with the crowd booing loudly, Caffrey gets behind Duke and hooks his arm under Duke's left. With his right hand he applies a choke-hold and falls back with it, this time bringing Duke with him and locking in the hold tightly.
Derrick Donovan: Dreams and Nightmares! This could be it for the champ!
BB Gunn: I think you're right. Duke is turning shades of purple. Caffrey really has it locked in. Duke can't breath!
The ref moves in to see if Duke will submit. The champion tried to fight out of it but just can't get the wind. His size is actually working against him in this moment, not being able to get any leverage.
Derrick Donovan: This has shades of our opener. I think Duke is fading. Caffrey is going to win the AXW Undisputed title the same way he won the Scorpion Classic!
The ref checks to see if Duke is out. He raises an arm and it drops. He looks at the timekeeper, contemplating stopping this match. He raises the arm again and it drops once more. The crowd begins to groan. This is it. The ref raises Duke's arm one more time and right before it falls limp Duke comes to and holds the arm up. The fans come alive. Caffrey wrenches back with all his strength. Duke sits up, amazingly pulling Caffrey with him. In a seated position the champion reaches back and grabs Caffrey by the head. The crowd can't believe it. The ref can't believe it. Anthony Caffrey can't believe it. Duke flips Caffrey up and over, sending him across the ring. Caffrey quickly gets to his feet and runs at Duke and goes for a dropkick but Duke swats his legs away and Caffrey meets canvas again.
Derrick Donovan: I can not believe Duke got out of that and great awareness on blocking that dropkick.
BB Gunn: Well he is the champion, after all.
Duke makes it to his feet this time before Caffrey. As he walks over to Caffrey, the challenger springs up and tries for a left jab but Duke blocks it, and with his stength spins Caffrey around before locking his arms around his waist and hitting a German suplex. Duke doesn't release the hold though, only rolls threw and stands back up, rag-dolling Caffrey a bit before nailing another German suplex. Again, he holds on and stands, and this time sends Caffrey back and on his head after releasing on the third suplex. Duke just lays there.
BB Gunn: Holy hell! Duke with the triple German suplex and Caffrey is out cold! Duke is going to retain!
Derrick Donovan: I don't know, Duke is not fairing so well himself. I think that took just as much out of him.
BB Gunn: Duke is stirring a bit! All he has to do is get over there and make a cover!
Duke tries to shake the cobwebs. He starts to roll over and crawl to the ropes. Then pulls himself up slowly. He stretches his neck side to side trying to get it to pop before finally turning and seeing Caffrey laying prone near the center of the ring. Duke's eyes light up a bit as he sees the end in sight. As the champion motions to the crowd that the end is near, he walks over to Caffrey. Instead of pinning him, he decides to pick him up to unleash one more move on him for good measure. As he bends, however, Caffrey reaches up and grabs Kosloff by the head, flipping him over for a cradle pin.
[...ONE!...]
[...TWO!...]
[...THR-KICKOUT!...]
BB Gunn: Duke just escapes! I thought we had a new champion there.
Derrick Donovan: Yeah, Duke couldn't capitalize on the three German suplexes, felt he needed to inflict more damage and almost has this one stolen away from him. you can feel his rage.
Duke pushes himself up. He stands and pulls Caffrey in to go for a spinebuster but Caffrey is able to slide out of it and run the ropes. On the rebound, Duke goes for a clothesline from hell but it is ducked by Caffrey who hits the opposite side and then comes back and with a quickness drops a missile into the side of Dukes leg. As quick as he hits the ground, Caffrey is back up and Duke is hobbled. Caffrey runs the ropes again and Duke tries to turn and catch him but the challenger is just too quick and baseball slides under Dukes leg. Out of reflex, Duke bends down to try and catch him but it puts him in a bad position as Caffrey is again up, hits the ropes and dives over Duke's back and planting Duke's face down into the mat.
Derrick Donovan: Caffrey showing a burst of stamina here that quite frankly I didn't think he could have after the two hard fought matches he's been in tonight!
BB Gunn: Well, hate him or really hate him, there is no denying the man has talent. He wouldn't be here if he didn't.
Caffrey quickly gets up once again and this time gets in position and grabs Dukes ankle and locks in the CAL.
BB Gunn: The Caffrey Ankle Lock! He won the scorpion classic this way! He beat Kosloff at End of Days this way!
Derrick Donovan: Duke is fighting it!
Unlike in the Scorpion Classic match, Duke handles this a little better. He doesn't just flail about causing the pain to overcome him. He grits his teeth and tries to pull himself to the ropes. The dropkick to the ankle definitely softened things up though and he begins to feel his ankle twisting.
BB Gunn: Is he going to tap?
Duke pushes himself up and roars. Was it the pain? Was it the rage? Or was it a combination of the two? Who knows. Duke inches closer to the ropes. They are miles away. He catches his breath all the while Caffrey is locked in tight. That is when Duke begins to do the unimaginable. He pulls his leg in towards him and moves Caffrey who stands to his feet, still holding the ankle. Duke attempts to push his leg out much like at the beginning of the match but Caffrey is ready this time and as soon as Duke brings his leg in, Caffrey gives him some slack and before Duke can extend out into the push Caffrey dives down and brings the ankle around with him, this time locking in the ankle lock while lying directly on Duke! The pressure and sudden pain shoots through Duke who screams out!
Derrick Donovan: He may have just snapped something there!
Duke taps...
BB Gunn: Oh my God! There it is! He's tapping!!!
[...DING! DING! DING!...]
Your winner by submission, AND NEW AXW UNDISPUTED CHAMPION!!!! ANTHONY CAFFREY!!!!
Derrick Donovan: I can't believe it! Not only did Caffrey come into this night and take out the longest reigning champion in the opener, and not only did he possibly end Jackson Steele's career, he just toppled the monster, The Natural Born Killer, Duke Kosloff.
BB Gunn: Anthony Caffrey will leave tonight with two distinctions, Dono, Scorpion Classic winner, and our AXW Undisputed Champion! If you thought his bragging was bad before, I think we have yet to see how bad it can get...
Caffrey is celebrating in the ring with his newly obtained title as EMTs come down to check on Duke. Then, Wellington Dunne walks out clapping for his friend in Caffrey becoming the Champion but the lights go out and darkness fills Madison Square Garden, the lights come back on and in the ring behind Caffrey and Dunne stands...
Derrick Donovan: IT'S JACK JAMES!! HE'S BACK!
The AVA, the same three men who took AXW by storm at Final Frontier, they're back together. They look at each other and all three men smile, then they start to assault Duke, stomping into him as he lays there weak
BB Gunn: Awh, come on! You have your f**king championship, just leave already! Stop this!
Derrick Donovan: There's no stopping The AVA.
Pantera's "A New Level" rips through the PA as a limping Anomoly makes his way to the ring, the crowd has exploded to Anomoly saving the day, he comes in with baseball bat in hand and vengeance on his mind. James comes running up the ramp to Anomoly but is met with the baseball bat to the gut and then to the back. He gets to ringside where he meets Dunne, Dunne gets the upper hand by taking the bat from Anomoly but Anomoly goes low with a swift kick to the groin as Dunne goes down and now it's down to Caffrey and Anomoly. Anomoly enters the ring and stares daggers into Caffrey.
Derrick Donovan: Anomoly is still mad at Caffrey for steali- WAIT A MINUTE!!
But as Anomoly gets closer, a hooded and masked fan enters the ring and low blows Anomoly and hits a Cutter on him, laying him out on the mat.
BB Gunn: Security, get him out of here! Where are they?
We see both Dunne and James stopping all security from entering the ring. The masked lunatic, who we guess is a new member to The AVA, just watches on as Caffrey lays the boot into Anomoly but he fights back and lays right into Caffrey in the opposite corner of the masked man.
BB Gunn: Come on Anomoly, beat them up!
Anomoly looks to pick up Caffrey for the "Ragnorak" and stands in the middle of the ring, ready to drop Caffrey down but he turns to the masked fan as he runs and connects with... A V-TRIGGER! Some of the fans know exactly who it is, they know who's behind the mask. As he stands over the fallen Anomoly, the masked fan pulls at his mask and it flies off his head to reveal it to be...
Derrick Donovan: JAMES RAYMOND!!! NOOOO, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!??!
BB Gunn: Oh my god...
Both Caffrey and Raymond stomp into Anomoly, in what looks like a mugging. Dunne enters the ring, Caffrey and Raymond hold Anomoly up as Dunne connects with a
[SCOTTISH FACE BREAKER!]
(Springboard Cutter)
Duke comes back into the ring and is met with all four members of The AVA as they lay right into Duke. Raymond looks to be sizing up Duke and jumps for the Leaping Cutter but James stops that with a
[THE PROFESSIONAL-PLEX!]
(Release German Suplex)
But Raymond strikes James with
[THE BROKEN PLATINUM!]
(V-Trigger)
BB Gunn: Wait what?!
Derrick Donovan: Friendly fire with The AV- oh wait...
Now Caffrey and Dunne attack James, this can only mean one thing, James has been replaced with Raymond. Dunne picks up James in a Powerbomb position and backs up into the corner, Raymond climbs to the top rope and is in position for Sliced Bread #2. As Raymond goes over James' head, Dunne powerbombs James for a Double Team Powerbomb and Sliced Bread Combo move. Caffrey grabs a microphone, and addresses the situation.
Anthony Caffrey: What you see here is Evolution! A new Revolution! With Raymond and Dunne by my side and myself with this Championship... we... are... UNSTOPPABLE! WE... ARE... THE... ARROGANT... VIOLENT... ASSHOLES!!
The final shot is of all three men, standing in the middle of the carnage that exploded in the ring after the Main Event match. Raymond to the right, Dunne to the left, and standing in the middle is Caffrey, with his NEW AXW Undisputed Championship in his hands and above his head.
