SEGMENT
The EBWF logo was shown and Warfare faded in to a capacity crowd in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The camera panned around the arena, and the crowd was going wild in anticipation for the upcoming event. A pyro display went off, and we were quickly into the announcers booth with Corey Graves and Joey Styles. 

Corey Graves: Hello ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to EBWF Warfare, I'm Corey Graves along side Joey Styles- and boy do we have a great show for you. 

Joey Styles: We sure do partner! If you have a pulse, you have to be excited for what we have in store for this evening. Especially for what we are starting with right off the bat.

The camera cut to the ring and 'MIZ' TV's set inhabited it. There was three chairs set up in the ring, and the mat was covered with a blue carpeting. All of a sudden "AWEEEEEEEESOMMMMEEEEEEE" followed by "I Came To Play" by Downstait was heard loudly over the PA system. The crowd cheered loudly as The Miz exploded out of the back, flanked by Mickie James. Miz was in a blue suit and he had the EBWF Gateway Championship over his right shoulder. Mickie was looking beautiful wearing a black tank top and short white shorts. She was smiling, as Miz confidently made his way down to the ring with a big smile on his face. He entered the ring and opened the ropes for Mickie to enter as well. 

Corey Graves: Well a big reaction for the new EBWF Gateway Champion and his girl. We kick tonight off with Miz TV.

Joey Styles: Can't beat that!

The Miz grabbed a microphone from the time keeper and he took a seat, as did Mickie right next to him. Miz then shook his head and stood up quickly, as did Mickie.

The Miz: No, no, I'm too excited to sit right now. What's up Vancouverrrr!

The crowd cheered loudly. A "Miz is Awesome" chant broke out. Miz let it die down before speaking.

The Miz: You guys have excellent taste, but who could freaking blame you for cheering. You are looking at the NEW EBWF GATEWAY CHAMMMMMPIONNNNNNNNN!

More cheers, Mickie applauded as well. 

The Miz: It's a special night, and a special edition of Miz TV- because tonight is a CELEBRATION. A celebration of what's taken place, but more importantly it is a celebration of what is to come. You see Mizfits, as the new EBWF Gateway Champion- the COUNTDOWN IS ON.. to when your hero.. the best of the best.. the cream of the crop.. the SUPER in superstar.. YOUR FAVORITE WRESTLER'S

Crowd: FAVORITE WRESTLER.

The Miz: The Miz- becomes the EBWF World Champion once again. Now I'm the first to admit, that this past year has not been the best of my career. I've spent much of it running errands for someone who beat me on a fluke, who really isn't good enough to tie my wrestling boots... but look around. He's gone.. the goons he aligned himself with.. gone.. and who's standing in the ring holding the Gateway Championship.. this HANDSOME SON OF A BITCH that you're all looking at... THE MIZ!

The crowd cheered.

The Miz: The cream always rises to the top- it's a fact of life- and after this past weekend, I'm officially ready to put all the suckage that was this past year.. in the past.. and start looking to the future. So on Miz TV for the first time ever, I am making a statement.. and that statement is this.. there is NOBODY in the back that is going to be able to keep me from turning the Gateway Championship into my third reign as the EBWF Wor...

Out of nowhere "Phenomenal" by CFO$ filled the speakers, and the crowd lost their minds! AJ Styles sauntered out of the back and the crowd exploded in cheers.

Corey Graves: No way! It's AJ STYLES!

Joey Styles: What's he doing here!? He's been gone forever!

Miz had a huge smile on his face and he looked at Mickie who was smiling and clapping as well. AJ slowly made his way down the ramp with a confident smile on his face. Miz opened the ropes for him and AJ walked into the ring. The two men shook hands, and the fans were eating this up.

The Miz: Hollly Crap- this is a huge surprise. I mean AJ- you could have just called or sent a card.. but wow it's amazing to see you- you came all this way to say congratulations on my victory! I mean I don't want to seem soft.. but bro... I'm touched...

The Miz faked being emotional and both Mickie and AJ laughed at Miz' antics. AJ put the mic to his lips, and was cut off with an "AJ Styles" chant. A wry smile formed on his face. AJ went to talk, but Miz spoke first again.

The Miz: I mean sure- you're KIND OF interrupting, but dude honestly it's worth it to see you. It's amazing that you're here. AJ STYLES everyone!

The crowd popped again, AJ went to speak again, but Miz cut him off a second time before he could. AJ smiled and shook his head as Miz was talking. 

The Miz: I mean man oh man. The Miz and AJ Styles in the same ring, AND Ted DiBiase isn't even here.. that's what I call ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. Two of this businesses best to ever do it, side by side once again right here on Miz TV, and you all are witnessing it IN THE FLESH! So AJ- as I was just saying- The Miz becoming the EBWF Gateway Champion is exactly that.. it's a GATEWAY to the EBWF being.. well quite frankly interesting again. It's a Gateway to The Miz being en route to becoming the EBWF Champion.. and if that wasn't enough.. here you come making your triumphant return to voice your congratulations.. I mean WHAT A NIGHT!

The crowd popped and a "Sequel" chant broke out, which caused both AJ and Miz to share a small chuckle. Finally AJ was able to speak. 

AJ Styles: You caught me Miz. That is exactly why I'm here. I know we've had some ups and downs over the years, but as I've sat back and watched over the past several months. It was hard to watch you, as you had to serve as an errand boy for a complete buffoon like Alex Riley.. but I knew Miz.. I KNEW.. that you would eventually get yourself back. I knew that you would eventually show why you are, who you are. I knew that eventually I would be back in this ring.. letting you know.. as you're friend.. how proud I am of you.. and that's exactly how I feel right now. So ladies and gentlemen please join me in giving it up, for MY FRIEND and YOURS- the new EBWF Gateway Champion- THEEEEEEEEEEEE MIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

The Miz smiled and the two men hugged in the center of the ring, and the crowd was loving this. Miz turned to the crowd to soak in the cheers. 

Corey Graves: Well it looks like we've seen a little bit of a reunion tonight between the EBWF Gateway Champion and the returning AJ Styles.

Joey Styles: You have to got to love it.. these guys have been two of the mos... WAIT A MINUTE!

Before Joey could even get the words out.. AJ Styles hit the Miz with a low blow from behind. The crowds cheers immediately turned to boos as The Miz writhed in pain on the ground. Mickie was yelling at AJ Styles who simply turned to her and laughed. AJ Styles looked down at The Miz and stomped on him a couple more times. He then turned his eyes to the Gateway Championship which lay on the ground next to Miz. He picked it up from the ground and held it up to the crowd. Vancouver was booing their brains out, as AJ then looked down at The Miz.

Corey Graves: AJ Styles has tricked The Miz here, and it looks like he may have his sights set on that gold.

Joey Styles: I can't believe this.

AJ then forcefully threw the belt right onto the upper body/head area of the Miz. He then blew Mickie a kiss with just his lips, and Mickie glared at him. "Phenomenal" hit once again, as AJ Styles exited the ring to a chorus of boos. Miz made his way to one knee, and angrily stared at AJ, who had a confident smile draped across his face. He laughed maniacally as Warfare went to a commercial.

MATCH ONE
Joey Styles: What a way to kick of Warfare, Corey. AJ Styles is back in EBWF!

Corey Graves: We'll also see two former EBWF superstars return later on tonight as Dolph Ziggler goes one on one with Baron Corbin. Up first though, we've got Eli Drake making his EBWF debut as he faces Tommaso Ciampa!

"Eli Drake" by Dale Oliver hit and Eli Drake headed to the ring. When Drake was in the ring, Ciampa came out to a mixed reaction from the crowd. Once Ciampa was in the ring, the referee called for the bell and Ciampa went for a clothesline, but Drake ducked underneath it and countered with a float-over DDT. He stomped on Ciampa several times, then pulled him to his feet and whipped him into the corner. Drake ran at Ciampa and hit a high knee, then followed it up with a neckbreaker. Drake hit Ciampa with a leaping elbow drop and hooked the leg – 1... 2... kickout!

Alicia broke free, then went for a side kick, but Morgan ducked out of the way and whipped Alicia against the ropes. Morgan took Alicia down with a hiptoss, then as Alicia got to her feet, Morgan hit her with an enzuigiri.

She pulled Morgan to her feet and set her up for a northern lights suplex, but Morgan blocked it, countering with a DDT. Morgan pulled Alicia to her feet, then ran to the corner and hit the #201! She hooked the leg and the referee counted – 1... 2... 3!

Corey Graves: A dominant performance from the 2017 Women's Royal Rumble winner!

Morgan celebrated, then made her way to the back.

SEGMENT
After the match between Liv Morgan and Alicia Fox, the camera cut to the parking lot, where a black car was seen pulling up outside the arena. The car door opened, and out stepped the EBWF General Manager, Chris Jericho. Jericho was dressed in a t-shirt and jeans rather than one of his usual custom-made suits. His hand was bandaged and he had a cut just above his left eye. As he walked into the arena, road agent Dean Malenko approached him.

Dean Malenko: Chris, what are you doing here? I didn’t think you were going to be here after what happened at Summerslam. We were told…

Jericho grabbed Malenko and yelled, startling him.

Chris Jericho: You were told what, Dean? That I wasn’t well enough to be here after what Jimmy Havoc did to me at Summerslam? Well you heard right. I shouldn’t be here, but I’m here anyway. And I’m calling out Jimmy fucking Havoc!

Jericho pushed past Malenko, quickening his pace as he walked through the arena.

Joey Styles: Well you heard Chris Jericho… he’s calling out Jimmy Havoc, and he’s heading to the ring right now! You don’t want to miss this, we’ll be back after a short break.

As Warfare returned from a commercial break, “Break the Walls Down” hit and Jericho rushed to the ring. Before entering the ring, he took a microphone from ringside, and as he entered the ring, he began yelling into the microphone.

Chris Jericho: Cut my music! Get it off! And get the lights back on. I don’t want this to be a big spectacle, I want one thing and one thing only. HAVOC! Jimmy Havoc, get your skinny English ass to this ring right now, before I come backstage and drag you to the ring by that stupid emo hair of yours…

All of a sudden all the lights in the arena turned off, the crowd cheered loudly until “Lights Go Out” by Fozzy began to play. As the Chorus kicks in, Havoc walks out on stage in jeans, a King of the Goths T shirt and mic in hand. Jericho desperately tried to scream over the music.

Chris Jericho: ARE YOU KIDDING ME? That’s my song! He can’t use it! Turn it off now or I’ll fire every single person in the production truck!

The music was promptly cut off. The crowd chanted for Jimmy, which raised a smile in him.

Jimmy Havoc: Did you like my new entrance song? I thought I'd give this up and coming band it's due diligence by getting them some playtime cos god knows they need it!

Chris Jericho: Up and coming? How dare you! We’ve toured with Slash, Judas is a hit single! Lights Go Out has had over 1.6 million views on YouTube… don’t you eeeeever use it again you son of a--

Havoc cut him off.

Jimmy Havoc: 1.6 million? Is that it? Half my promos are on YouTube getting more than that. Listen, what do you want Chris? I'm a busy man, places to be and people to see. Can we make this quick?

Chris Jericho: You ungrateful bastard. You would have been lucky to get 16 views on YouTube before I signed you for EBWF. I plucked you from obscurity and this is how you repay me. I had to have 49 thumb tacks removed from my skin after what you did to me at Summerslam. I should fire you…

Jimmy cut him off again.

Jimmy Havoc: Only 49? Huh, must've missed a few on the mat then. Oh well, Chris of course you signed me. I sat in your weird home office locker thing with the weird smell and signed on the dotted line because you scouted me at a PROGRESS show. You saw the literal diamond in the rough, the diamond covered in blood, glass and thumbtacks and you knew what he could become. So why did you ever bother getting involved? Why did you fuck me over in the Elimination Chamber? Why did you put me against Braun? Why the hell did you step foot inside that cage? Don't answer yet Chris because it's rhetorical, I know you like to talk. You did it because you couldn't stand to watch yourself fail and me climb to the top by doing anything and everything I could. You watched me become Breakout Champion, Tag Team Champion, Intercontinental and Gateway Champion and the same damn time and you hated it. You're at the end of your career and you know it and it boils you to the core, that is why I'm so god damned happy right now. You cost me my title shot and I couldn’t care less because I know that you hate me and yourself for what happened at Summerslam. There was a time when I wanted nothing but to rip the skin from your body but now...now I want nothing to do with you.

The crowd chanted Jimmy’s name as he began to turn around and walk through the curtain. Jericho yelled after him.

Chris Jericho: HAVOC! Don’t you dare walk away from me. I’m not done with you yet. I could fire you, but I’m not going to. Instead… I’m going to punish you.

Jimmy turned around and immediately walked to the ring without haste. He jumped up on the apron and grabbed the mic again.

Jimmy Havoc: What exactly are you going to do Chris? We both know you can't wrestle anymore, the last time you did you beat an even older guy so there's nothing there.
Jericho laughed, but it was clear he didn’t find it funny. This was angry laughter, exasperation.

Chris Jericho: You STUPID IDIOT! I am a ten-time EBWF World Champion. That’s ten World Titles more than you’ll ever win. I am a better wrestler than you could even dream of being. I know what you’re trying to do, Havoc. You’re trying to goad me into fighting you.

Jimmy stepped into the ring and squared up to Jericho.

Jimmy Havoc: If I was around when you were, no-one would even know the name Chris Jericho. You're nothing special Chris, you're a loudmouth bitch.

Havoc shoved Jericho back and the crowded in unison let out an “Ooooooo…”

Jericho looked like he was about to swing a punch at Havoc, but he stopped himself.

Chris Jericho: For a guy who chokes every time he gets a shot at the big one, you sure seem full of yourself James. If it was up to me, I’d beat the cockiness out of you myself. But I’m the General Manager. I’m prohibited from wrestling. And I’m not going to throw that away just to teach a no good piece of shit like you a lesson. There are other ways to punish you… so since you’re so damn confident, I’m going to put you in a match next week. I’m not going to tell you who you’re facing, I’m not even going to tell you what type of match it will be. Just show up ready to wrestle and we’ll see what you’re made of.

Jimmy Havoc: Fine, I'll run your bullshit gauntlet. At the end of it, when I'm standing tall, I want you Jericho.

Jericho smiled.

Chris Jericho: If you’re still standing by the time you’re through the “Trial of Jericho”... I’ll be more than happy to pick apart whatever scraps are left. But if you ever lay so much as a finger on me again, I’ll tie you up in so much litigation that the only place you’ll get to fight me is in court.

Jimmy laughed and began to turn away...he swings his right forearm towards Jericho! Jericho flinched but nothing happened, Havoc stood there with his forearm an inch away from Jericho's face. Havoc smiled and turned his arm in front of Jericho's face and flipped him the bird.

Jimmy Havoc: Good luck, boss.

He tossed the microphone into Jericho's stomach and exited the ring mouthing “I didn't touch you boss!”

MATCH THREE
When Warfare returned from a commercial break, "Superhuman" hit and the crowd booed as Baron Corbin made his way to the ring.

Joey Styles: Welcome back! Up next, we'll see two superstars make their EBWF return as "The Lone Wolf", Baron Corbin, takes on "The Showoff", Dolph Ziggler!

Corey Graves: Corbin and Ziggler are both extremely talented superstars. It's great to see them back in EBWF and I'm sure this will be a thrilling match up!

Once Corbin had entered the ring, "Here to Show the World" by Downstait hit and the crowd gave a mixed reaction as Dolph Ziggler headed to the ring. Once Ziggler was in the ring, the referee called for the bell. Corbin ran at Ziggler, going for a clothesline, but Ziggler ducked out of the way, then turned to face Corbin and hit him with a series of punches. Corbin fought back with some right hands of his own, then hit Ziggler with an elbow smash. Corbin took Ziggler down with a clothesline, before stomping on him several times. He pulled Ziggler to his feet and dragged him towards the corner, slamming his head against the turnbuckle. Corbin pulled Ziggler out of the corner, whipping him against the ropes before taking him down with a big boot. Ziggler got to his feet and Corbin hit a chokeslam backbreaker, then hooked the leg. The referee counted – 1... 2... kickout!

Joey Styles: A strong start from Baron Corbin!

Corbin grabbed Ziggler and applied a nerve hold, but Ziggler fought out of it, then got to his feet. Ziggler hit a series of punches, then whipped Corbin against the ropes, before hitting a dropkick. Both men got to their feet and Ziggler hit the Fame Asser! He hooked the leg and the referee counted – 1... 2... kickout! Ziggler got to his feet and stomped on Corbin several times, then pulled him to his feet and whipped him into the corner. Ziggler ran at Corbin, hitting the Stinger splash, then as Corbin staggered out of the corner, Ziggler set him up for a suplex. Corbin blocked it, counting with the Deep Six! He hooked the leg and the referee counted – 1... 2... kickout!

Corey Graves: Corbin close to a three count once again!

Joey Styles: Ziggler still has some fight left in him, Corey! Neither superstar wants to lose their first match back in EBWF.

Corbin pulled Ziggler to his feet and whipped him against the ropes, then went for another big boot. Ziggler ducked out of the way, ran against the opposing set of ropes, then hit Corbin with a leaping clothesline. Both men got to their feet and Ziggler jumped on Corbin from behind, applying a sleeper hold. Corbin broke free and went for the End of Days, but Ziggler spun around and hit Corbin with the Zig Zag! He hooked the leg and the referee counted – 1... 2... 3!

Corey Graves: It's over! Just like that, Dolph Ziggler snatches a victory from the jaws of defeat!

MATCH FOUR
“Glasgow Cross” hit the PA and Nikki Cross came out to the ramp.

Joey Styles: Nikki Cross is in action now with the EBWF Women’s Champion!

Corey Graves: Natalya will be facing Trish Stratus at Destiny, but this is a great opportunity for Cross!

Christy Hemme: Introducing first, from Glasgow, Scotland. She is Nikki Cross!

“Missle” hit the PA and the EBWF Women’s Champion, Natayla stepped onto the stage with the title belt around her waist. She threw her arms out to the side as the crowd booed.

Christy Hemme: And her opponent, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. She has asked to be announced as the soon-to-be undisputed longest reigning EBWF Women’s Champion of all time, Natalya!

That brought a further reign of boos, as Cross waited for Natalya in the ring. The bell rang. Natalya went behind Cross and rolled her up for a one count. Nattie kneed Cross in the gut and attempted another pin. Cross kicked out.

Joey Styles: Nikki Cross with an emphatic kick out!

Cross almost locked Natalya in the underhook crossface, but Nattie rolled away. Nikki slammed Natalya’s head into the turnbuckle. Arm bar by Cross, followed by a dropkick that sent Natalya out of the ring. When Natalya dove back in, Nikki whipped Nattie into the ropes but the champion rolled to the outside again. Cross dove off the apron with a double knee strike.

Corey Graves: Nikki’s giving it her all!

Joey Styles: Can you imagine the doors that will open if she can beat the Women’s Champ?

The two women fought their way back into the ring and Natalya worked a side headlock. Nikki fought out of it, but Natalya followed up with a back breaker. Natalya added insult to injury, and stood on Nikki’s back. She stomped on it, and then began choking Nikki on the bottom ropes. The referee forced her to break the hold. Natalya took the opportunity to lock in the Sharpshooter, but Cross refused to break the hold. Nattie sent Cross head first into the turnbuckle.

Corey Graves: Cross might be… uh-oh.

Corey Graves: Uh-oh! Can she lock in the… Sharpshooter!

Nattie wrenched it in. Nikki Cross gave it a good fight, but she was forced to tap out!

Joey Styles: The champ has done it!

Corey Graves: Nikki Cross gave it one hell of an effort though.

Natalya was given her championship. Renee Young entered the ring.

Renee Young: Natalya, if we could have a few moments of your time. You are poised to tie Trish Stratus’ record as the longest reigning EBWF Women’s Champion at Destiny, but you may end up having to share that title with Trish, because you will have to beat her at the PPV to break her record and…

Natalya: Oh, I intend to beat Trish at Destiny, and not only remain the EBWF Women’s Champion but erase her name from the hist…

A giggle was heard over the PA and the crowd erupted as the signature bars filled the arena.

You don’t have to love me.
You don’t even have to like me.
But you will respect me.
You know why?
Cuz I’m a Boss!

Natalya was incensed as the music interrupted her interview.

Corey Graves: Natalya has company!

Trish came to the stage in a black EBWF branded t-shirt that had been cut into a crop top, and pleather pants, wearing her rhinestone “Trish” belt buckle.

Trish Stratus: Oh, Nattie, sweetheart. You’re not going to be erasing my name from the history books. Oh no. Your name isn’t even going to be printed next to mine.

Natalya: What are you talking about? I know you’re not known for your smarts honey, but do the math. I don’t have any scheduled title defenses between now and Destiny. The tie is in the ba…

Trish had rudely put her hand up while Nattie was talking, and cut her off.

Trish Stratus: Oh, but you do.

Renee Young had slinked away, and Natalie was growing more furious.

Natalya: Excuse me?

Trish Stratus: You do. You do have a scheduled title defense before Destiny. I’m the #1 contender.

Natalya: What are you talking about?

Trish Stratus: You just assumed our match was at Destiny.

Natalya’s eye bugged out, and the crowd slowly realized Trish’s meaning. She confirmed it.

Trish Stratus: I spoke to Chris Jericho, and he agrees that my record can’t just go uncontested. Our match is next week. Live on Warfare.

Natalya started throwing a fit. She could be overheard screaming, “You can’t do that!”

Trish Stratus: And you better buckle up, bitch, because I’ll be seeing you… IN A STEEL CAGE.

Trish dropped the mic, and the crowd cheered again.

Joey Styles: Trish versus Natalya in a steel cage!

Corey Graves: And they’re telling me in the headset, Joey! Chris Jericho has not only confirmed this match, but it will be the main event next week on Warfare!

Joey Styles: Our main event tonight is next when Warfare returns.

SEGMENT
Warfare returned to find Natalya stalking the hallways. She moved to the production area, and the crowd cheered when she found her husband, Wes Ikeda, who stood up from his chair, and whipped off his head set.

Natalya: You cannot let this happen.

Wes Ikeda: Nattie, listen…

Natalya: I have worked too long, and too hard for Trish Stratus to…

She was causing a scene, and now they had onlookers.

Wes Ikeda: Natalie. Not. Now.

She tried a softer approach.

Natalya: Wes, I know that Chris Jericho is the General Manager of Warfare, and I know you’ve had your differences, but I really feel like it’s time for you to come out from behind the production table and make the tough calls. Embrace your role, and make the hard decisions. You know how brilliant I think you are…

Wes Ikeda: I know, baby. That’s very nice of you to say.

Natalya: So that settles it. You’ll go talk to Chris, and set this whole thing right. This is a PPV caliber match, and if I’m going to defend my title, people should have to pay to see it. I knew you’d…

Wes Ikeda: I know that you think I’m brilliant, Nattie, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you saying that. Because you of all people should know that only an idiot would cancel a Warfare main event like that. The match stays.

Natalya’s mouth fell open.

Wes Ikeda: But you can beat her. You’re an amazing wrestler.

He grinned.

Wes Ikeda: You know how brilliant I think you are.

He walked away and out of the frame.

Natalya: Wes! Wesley Ikeda, you get ba…

Natalya let out a frustrated groan as the scene went back to scan the crowd in the arena.


MATCH FIVE
Kevin Owens was announced first, and followed to the ring by the EBWF World Champion PJ Black.

Corey Graves: The EBWF has been shrouded in Black for the last 7-months, and I have been loving it!

The usual introductions out of the way the bell rang, and Black jumped on Owens. Owens and Black teared into each other, and ended up on the outside. PJ hit a sliding knee off the apron.

PJ Black kicked out!

Black misses the pele kick, and opened the door for a superkick from Owens. PJ Black landed the Black Diamond, and went to the top rope. He hit the 450 Splash and pinned Kevin Owens for the win!
“Sick of It” blared through the arena again, and PJ held up his championship over his head. As he climbed the top turnbuckle the music was cut off by a loud static sound. The tron flashed, revealing a similar scene as that at Summerslam, with the woman whom the announce team had identified as Zahra Schreiber bound to a chair.

Zahra Schreiber: Help me!

And then, static.
