SEGMENT

Mauro Ranallo: Good evening and welcome to Warfare! We are live from Houston, Texas, and after a new World Champion was crowned at the Royal Rumble, the road to Wrestlemania is well and truly underway!

“I Hope You Suffer” by AFI hit and the crowd cheered as Jimmy Havoc made his way to the ring.

Mauro Ranallo: This year, the road to Wrestlemania will take a detour… to London baby! Earlier this week, Jimmy Havoc announced that the next EBWF pay-per-view will take place in London, England!

Corey Graves: And he named it after himself. What a guy.

Mauro Ranallo: That’s right, House of Havoc takes place on February 25th at the O2 Arena. Tickets went on sale on Thursday and sold out in less than five hours!

When Havoc entered the ring, his music was cut and he began to speak.

Jimmy Havoc: I know you’re all hyped about the upcoming House of Havoc Pay-Per-View. Eloquently named if I do say so myself, after someone so distinguished and the most must see superstar in the EBWF today! It’s about time I was recognised as a great talent and the best General Manager!

The crowd were mixed in boos and cheers.

Jimmy Havoc: Now in being General Manager, there’s some things that need to be decided, such as the number one contender for the new EBWF champions. Velveteen Dream and the NEW EBWF Champion Kenny Omega need challengers for Wrestlemania. I’m sure someone will be creeped out enough by Dream they’ll step up to beat him so I’m not too worried. Though, who is there for Kenny Omega to face? PJ Black? Tommy End? AJ Styles? Rand-

Before Havoc could continue, he was interrupted. “Break the Walls Down” hit, and the crowd gave a mixed reaction as Chris Jericho made his way to the ring. Upon entering the ring, Jericho signalled for his music to be cut.

Chris Jericho: PJ Black? I know you’ve had a busy week, Jimmy, flying to London and back in the most egotistical move of the century… but you ought to keep up to date with the wellbeing of your superstars. PJ is injured. It’s a shame, because as the Royal Rumble runner up, he does deserve a chance to challenge Kenny Omega for the EBWF World Championship. But in PJ’s absence, there is an opportunity for someone else to step up. Tommy End? He’s new here… he needs to do more to earn a spot in the Wrestlemania main event. AJ Styles? Come on, you hate him more than I do. Randy Orton? When was the last time he did anything of note? You’re overlooking someone, James. Someone who would be the perfect opponent for Kenny Omega.

Havoc smirked.

Jimmy Havoc: Thanks Chris, I’m flattered. But I can’t put myself in the Wrestlemania main event! You’re right, I deserve it, but that would be an abuse of power.

The audience laughed. Jericho glared at him.

Chris Jericho: Kenny claims to be the best wrestler in the world… he’s not even the best wrestler from Winnipeg. Omega might be the champ, but I’m the Alpha. If you want to book the greatest Wrestlemania main event in EBWF history, Jimmy, I’m your guy. Chris Jericho versus Kenny Omega. Book it.

The audience popped huge for that.

Jimmy Havoc: Hmmm. You may be on to something and I’d even consider it…

The crowd popped again.

Jimmy Havoc: Had you not rudely interrupted me. Chris, you need to get back into line my son! You still think you’re the Alpha? Please, you’re a Beta male and you know it. No, I have a better plan for Kenny Omega. There will be a number one contenders match at House of Havoc to determine who will face the EBWF World Champion. Meanwhile, What will Kenny do at House of Havoc? Simple, Kenny Omega claims to be the best in the world, but I know someone who would refute that. Kenny Omega will take on...CM Punk.

The crowd cheered, then a CM Punk chant broke out. Jericho’s face was reddening with anger.

Chris Jericho: Quiet. Quiet. Quiet. Quiet. QUIET! I’m sick and tired of you trying to screw me over, Havoc. If there is going to be a number one contenders match at House of Havoc - a chance to earn a spot in the main event of Wrestlemania - I want to be a part of it.

Jimmy Havoc: I get that you’re mad. You had the crowd on your side wanting Omega/Jericho but one mention of Punk and they cream their pants like idiots. Jericho, I’ve already got plans for you come House of Havoc.

Chris Jericho: Go on…

Jimmy Havoc: You will go against Braun Strowman!

The crowd popped as Jericho gritted his teeth.

Jimmy Havoc:...and me.

The crowd popped.

Chris Jericho: A handicap match? That sounds like an abuse of power, Jimmy.

Jimmy Havoc: You’re ahead of me. It will be a Tag Team match. The return of The Bastard and the Beast vs. Chris Jericho and whoever the hell he can find crazy enough to step into the ring with Braun Strowman. Okay pal? Good talking to you.

Jimmy dropped his mic and walked away.

Chris Jericho: Oh I’ll find a partner Jimmy, don’t you worry about that! You and Braun are going down!

Havoc continued walking up the ramp, paying no attention to Jericho as he made his way to the back.

MATCH ONE

Warfare came back from commercial and the Psycho Killer was already in the ring, waiting for his opponent as his music played.

Mauro Ranallo: We're back here on Warfare! Tomasso Ciampa is in the ring and he looks just as chemically unbalanced as ever.

Corey Graves: That is a man I would not want to meet in a dark alley. Or ever.

Ciampa looked on as "This is How it Starts" by the Features played out of the speakers.

Corey Graves: Since we're talking about strange dudes...

Mauro Ranallo: The perenially colorful Dalton Castle is on his way to the ring, flanked by his boys!

The human peacock sauntered down to the ring, soaking in the adulation of the crowd who was firmly behind him. He headed up the steps and got into the ring, the boys remaining ringside.

Mauro Ranallo: And here we go!

The referee called for the bell. The two squared off and were very cautious at the offset of the match. Dalton connected with the first punch, straight to Ciampa's jaw, taking the fight to the psycho killer. Dalton cracked his palm across Ciampa's chest with a knife-edge chop that echoed throughout the arena, elliciting WOO's from the crowd. Tomasso stumbled back, and Dalton planted him with a running knee, and then a punt to the gut. Ciampa got back up and stumbled into the corner, trying to escape the frontal assault of Castle. Dalton goes for a high boot, but Ciampa ducked causing Castle's leg to hang up over the top rope. Using his own momentum against him, Ciampa grabbed Dalton's legs and flipped him over the ropes, causing Dalton to land awkwardly on the unforgiving apron of the ring and land outside with a thud. The crowd reacted audibly to the sickening impact as Dalton folds up like an accordion outside.

Mauro Ranallo: Mama mia! What a landing outside! Dalton is suddenly in serious trouble!

The referee began the mandatory ten count as Dalton's Boys immediately knelt beside Castle and began fanning him frantically. Dalton slowly shook off the cobwebs, and rolled back into the ring to the delight of the crowd. They locked up, and then Dalton wrenched the arm of Ciampa behind his back. Ciampa slid to a rear defense, but Dalton reverses and thew Tomasso to the outside of the ring.

Corey Graves: What's good for the goose is good for the gander here.

Dalton taunted Ciampa from inside the ring as the psycho killer slammed his hands on the apron in frustration. Ciampa slide back in and the two locked up one more time. Ciampa was able to get behind Dalton and apply a choke. Dalton started to slow down, but brok free with his elbow, and then connected with a neck breaker. Dalton picked Ciampa up but got a kick in the gut for his efforts. Ciampa grabbed Dalton and sent him into the ropes. Dalton his the corner and ran forward, hitting a swinging neck breaker. Ciampa slowly got to all fours as Dalton set up for an attack from the corner. Ciampa slid out of the ring. Dalton bailed out as well and ran after him, but Ciampa levels him with a clothesline outside. The Boys get to work fanning the Peacock but Ciampa scares them off with a yell. Dalton scurried away during the distraction and rolled back into the ring. Ciampa followed suit and got in, but was met by Castle. He whipped Ciampa into the corner turnbuckle. The turnbuckle shook with the impact and Ciampa stumbled back, disoriented. He stumbled into Dalton's grasp who lifted him up and spun him around, hitting a picture perfect spinning waterwheel facebuster!

Mauro Ranallo: It's the Bang-A-Rang! Dalton Castle nails it!

Ciampa was motionless on the mat as Dalton hooked the leg. 1...2.....3!

Corey Graves: An impressive showing by one of the stranger people on this roster, Mauro! Ciampa had the advantage at several points in this match but Dalton Castle pulls it out!

Dalton Castle celebrated with his Boys as Warfare went to commercial.


MATCH TWO

Mauro Ranallo: Up next, we've got women's action as Candice LeRae goes one on one with Asuka!

Corey Graves: I'm excited to see these two extremely talented superstars go at it, Mauro!

Asuka came to the ring first to a mixed reaction from the crowd. Once Asuka was in the ring, "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" by The Darkness hit and the crowd cheered as Candice headed to the ring. When both women were in the ring, the referee called for the bell and the two superstars locked up. Asuka applied a headlock, but Candice fought out of it then hit a single knee facebreaker. Asuka staggered backwards and Candice grabbed her, whipping her against the ropes. As Asuka ran back towards her, Candice went for a clothesline, but Asuka ducked out of the way then hit Candice with a series of kicks. Asuka whipped Candice into the corner and ran at her, going for a hip attack, but Candice moved out of the corner, taking Asuka down with a spear! After hitting Asuka with several punches against the mat, Candice pulled the Empress of Tomorrow to her feet, hitting a swinging neckbreaker. She hooked the leg and the referee counted – 1... 2... kickout!

Mauro Ranallo: Great back and forth action here in this match!

Corey Graves: Candice wants to make sure Asuka has a debut to forget!

Candice pulled Asuka to her feet and whipped her into the corner, then hit her with a collection of backhand chops and elbow smashes. After wearing Asuka down, Candice pulled her out of the corner, hitting a DDT. She climbed to the top rope and went for a moonsault... but Asuka rolled out of the way!

Mauro Ranallo: High risk move from Candice there and it didn't pay off... can Asuka seize the momentum?

As Candice got to her feet, Asuka hit a German suplex, then applied an ankle lock. Candice was able to get to the ropes, and Asuka broke the hold. As Candice got to her feet, Asuka signalled for the Empress Kick! Asuka went for it... but Candice ducked out of the way and hit the Boobs-Plex! She hooked the leg and the referee counted – 1... 2... 3!

Corey Graves: It's over! Candice LeRae gets the victory!

Candice celebrated as Warfare went to a commercial break.

MATCH THREE

As Warfare returned from a commercial break, Mick Foley was on his way to the ring for the next match.

Mauro Ranallo: Welcome back! Up next, we've got the Hardcore Legend Mick Foley in action as he goes one on one with the Villain, Marty Scurll!

When Foley was in the ring, One True Villain hit and Marty Scurll came out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.

Corey Graves: What an opportunity Marty Scurll has here tonight, he can beat the Hardcore Legend at his own game!

Scurll brought his umbrella into the ring with him, and as the bell rang, he swung the umbrella at Foley, taking him down. Scurll hit Foley with the umbrella several more times, then stomped on him repeatedly. Foley rolled out of the ring, and Scurll followed him to the outside. Foley fought back with some right hands, then threw Scurll into the ring steps. As Scurll got to his feet, Foley set him up for a double underhook DDT... but Scurll blocked it, then hit a Russian legsweep. Scurll pulled a steel chair out from underneath the ring, and as Foley got to his feet, Scurll jammed the chair into his ribs, and then slammed the chair across his back. Scurll put the chair on the ground, then grabbed Foley, setting him up for a piledriver onto the chair! Foley blocked it, countering with a back body drop. As Scurll stumbled to his feet, Foley reached into his pants, pulling out Mr Socko!

Mauro Ranallo: Marty Scurll might be about to fall victim to the mandible claw!

Foley went to grab Scurll with Mr Socko, but Scurll blocked it, then whipped Foley into the ring post. Scurll hit Foley with a series of punches, before dragging him towards the ramp. Scurll lifted Foley up, hitting a suplex onto the ramp! Scurll then put Foley in the crossface chickenwing! Foley submitted and the referee called for the bell.

Corey Graves: It's over! An impressive victory for Marty Scurll!

Scurll celebrated on the ramp, then made his way to the back.

SEGMENT

The cameras returned from a commercial break and panned around over the audience in attendence for Warfare in Houston, TX. Suddenly the lights dimmed and "Illest" by Far East Movement hit the PA system and the fans rose to their feet and cheered loudly for the new EBWF Women's Champion, Liv Morgan. Liv jumped out from behind the staging curtain and spun around before posing at the top of the stage. Liv had her title strapped around her waist and she carried what looked like a pizza box in her hand. As the camera panned closer a Dominos logo could be seen on the pizza box.

Christy Hemme: ...And making her way to the ring from Elmwood Park, New Jersey, she is your new E-B-W-F Women's Chhaaammppiioooonnnnn... LIVVVVVVVVV.... MOOORRRRGGANNNNN!!!

Liv ran down the ramp to ringside and slid the pizza box into the ring. She then ran to the camera side of the ring and climbed onto the ring apron. Liv hopped over the top of the ring rope and successfully landed a tuck and roll before springing right to her feet. Liv pulled the title from her waist and held the belt up in the center of the ring. The crowd cheered and Liv just smiled, eating up the moment.

Mauro: And here she is, EBWF's youngest Women's champion, Liv Morgan. Liv managed to win the title off of newcomer Mandy Rose in a triple threat match in Phoenix, Arizona at the Royal Rumble. I can only imagine how great this young lady feels right now!

Corey: Are you kidding me, Mauro? Liv being Women's champion is an upset! Nobody from a dirty place like New Jersey deserves to hold the title. Mandy Rose deserves a rematch, she is a real champion. Not this joke!

Liv placed the title back around her waist before she leaned down and picked up the Dominos pizza box. Liv looked at Christy Hemme and nodded to her in acknowledgment. Liv opened the pizza box and offered a piece to Christy Hemme. Christy smiled and motioned that she was "watching her figure" and declined. Liv shrugged and took a piece of pepperoni pizza for herself. She shamelessly bit into it and went to town. The crowd cheered in response and started a light "We Want Pizza" chant. Liv bobbed her head to the tune and asked Christy Hemme to hold the box while Liv got a mic from one of the ringside stagehands.

Liv: Yooo H-town... WADDDDD UPPPPP?!?!

Liv yelled out almost obnoxiously into the microphone but the crowd popped for her.

Liv: What can I say? I'm LIVin' large and in charge and currently on cloud nine, ya feel me. I'm exactly where I said I was gonna be, yo. Standing right here in the center of the ring as your new Women's champion and DAMN. IT. FEELS. GOOD!!

Liv patted her hand on the title belt and paced back and forth in the ring.

Liv: I must admit, gold looks a whole lot betta' on me than I eva' imagined. It gives me that extra glow, dont'cha think?

Liv looked out at the crowd and shrugged her shoulders.

Liv: Anyways... I'm not out here to brag about how amazing I am, I did that in the ring with my actions, not my words. I'm also not out here to rub it in Mandy's face that I snatched her bald just like I said I was gonna do. I'm not even here to dawg (dog) on my Wrestlemania opponent, Alexa Bliss, for somehow weaseling her way through the Royal Rumble. Nah, I'll save that for later. Howeva', I AM out here for two reasons.

Liv held up her index finger.

Liv: One. I am out here to officially introduce myself to all those in the back who may not know me. I am Liv freakin' Morgan and I am your new EBWF Women's champion. If ya haven't heard of me, now ya have. Learn the name. Know it. Respect it. I fought tooth and nail for this, yo, and I ain't about to let it go so easily. I said I'd be a fighting champ and that's exactly what I plan to do, ya feel me. So whether you a veteran... or ya still green behind the ears, I'm telling you all to square up and fight me, bruh. I ain't neva' back down from a fight and I never will! I AM a fighting champion, so ladies, bring ya best. Hit me wit'cha best shot. You want a title shot? This is your chance, yo. This is your chance to chase your dreams just like I did. But you betta' be prepared for the beat down of a lifetime. Ask Mandy Rose who's at home licking her wounds as we speak. Ask Alexa Bliss who's probably... well, probably doing the same damn thing right now. You can even ask Natalya, and each and every time we faced one on one last year. Each time I got just a lil' bit closer and she knew it. I struck fear into her, you could see it in her eyes. That's something not many around here can say and that's a fact. I dealt with a lot of politics tryin' to take food off my table and rob me of what was rightfully mine. It was a very uphill battle to get where I'm at, but it was all worth it in the end.

Liv looked down at the title and then back out at the audience.

Liv: I'm not gonna be the type of champ to hide behind fancy lawyers and secret match clauses like some past champs.... You wanna fight? Let's do the damn thing! You just betta make damn sure you're ready for someone like me. I don't play nice, I play dirty. I get even. I do whatever needs to be done to get the job done. I may be small, I may be young, but I pack a mad punch like you wouldn't believe. Ya see, Mandy Rose thought she had it all fig'yard (figured) out and look what that got her. I 'sho 'nough steam rolled right over her and my former stable mate, Alexa Bliss, right on my way to the top.

Christy Hemme tried to motion for Liv to take the pizza box. Liv shook her head no and brushed off Christy Hemme who kind of just stood there awkwardly with the box in her hand. The crowd began to chant "We Want Pizza" again. Liv smirked and nodded her head.

Liv: Alright, alright, I hear ya! And that brings me to my second reason for being out here. I'm sharin' the dough baby, you'll see. This is for all my fans who've been behind me since day one... As your new Women's champion, I made sure to make this extra special event happen for ya'll. Give it up for Dominos as I present to you... the worlds largest pizza ppparrrttttyyyy!

Music played on the PA system which signaled Dominos employees to come down the stairs and aisle ways handing out slices of pizzas so fans in attendance. The crowd went crazy for free pizza. Liv smirked and walked over to the ring ropes, exiting the ring.

Liv: Feast away, we got Meatzza's ova there, yo, and cheese back ova there. Ya got some Hawaiian za's (pizza) out there somewhere. Extras extra pepperoni with some sausage. Extravaganzas, Philly style, you name it bro.

As she walked up the ramp she pointed at different areas in the crowd.

Liv: Ya'll just thank Wes Ikeda and his black American Express card, yo, that was like 2,000 pizzas for real, for real.

Liv back peddled up the ramp the rest of the way as the crowd cheered. She stopped and held her hands up in the air and posed one more time before she turned and made her way back behind the curtains. The cameras faded out to another commercial break.


MATCH FOUR

“Here’s to the greatest….”

Mauro Ranallo: Love has arrived here in Houston tonight!

Mike Kanellis came to the stage area with Maria, much to the displeasure of the crowd. When they got to the bottom of the ramp, they exchanged an eskimo kiss. Then looked offended when “Velveteen” hit the PA and The Velveteen Dream entered the arena. Once they were both in the ring, the bell rang. They were back and forth to start, with the Dream laying on some aggressive action. Dream clotheslined Mike over the top to the floor. He ran the ropes, but Maria jumped up and got in his way. Dream rolled out of the ring to go after Mike, but Maria distracted him, by talking a little smack. This gave Mike enough time to nail Dream with a big right hand. While Dream was down, Mike stopped to rub noses with Maria again.

Cory Graves: Oh, stop it you too! Mike get back in the ring. You’re going to get counted out.

As if on cue, Mike brought Dream back into the ring and hit a big clothesline for a pin attempt. Mike stomped away, and kept control, but then stopped to blow a kiss at Maria. Dream swayed to his feet, and Mike dropped him with the DDT. He covered for a two count. Mike charged ahead, hitting a corner clothesline, followed by another. He ran the ropes and dropped Dream with another strike for a two count as Maria cheered him on. Mike mounted Dream and worked him over, before crawling over and kissing Maria through the ropes. Getting his fix, he went right back to work on Dream with a knee to the back.

Mauro Ranallo: That cutesy stuff might catch up with Mike Kanellis if he isn’t careful.

Dream finally hit a clothesline and looked to make a comeback. He hit a big backdrop, and tossed Mike over the top to the floor. Dream ran the ropes and went for the suicide dive and nailed it as Maria threw a hissy fit at ringside. Dream rolled Mike back in and went to the top. Dream hit a crossbody for a two count. Dream made his way to the corner, presumably for the Purple Rainmaker, but Mike cut him off. Dream kept control and dropped Mike with a sidewalk slam.

Corey Graves: Velveteen Dream turning things around here.

Dream went for the exploder suplex but Maria ran into the ring and got in the way. She yelled at Dream and then the referee. The ref ordered her out of the ring. Dream turned around to Mike grabbing him, but Mike slid out. Dream sent him into the corner with a suplex, and Mike stumbled out falling to his back. Dream went up for The Purple Rainmaker, connecting, and pinning Kanellis for the 1…2..3!

Mauro Ranallo: And with persistence, the Velveteen Dream pulls it off! What a win for the Breakout Champion!

MATCH FIVE

The fireflies came out for the arrival of Bray Wyatt, who took his time getting to the ring, before the crowd cheered the arrival of Jeff Hardy. Hardy kept an eye on Wyatt as he entered the ring, and the bell rang. Hardy blocked a right hand and punched Bray. Wyatt quickly went for Sister Abigail, but Jeff got out. Jeff clotheslined Bray in the corner and beat him down. Wyatt pushed him off, and Jeff ducked a clothesline, hitting a Russian leg sweep. He went to the top rope for an elbow drop. Jeff went for the Twist of Fate, but Wyatt shoved him off. Bray floored Jeff with a flying body block.

Corey Graves: Bray just took the wind right out of Jeff!

Bray head-butted Jeff and applied a neck vice. Jeff fought up, but Bray punched him. Wyatt hit the ropes and floored him with another flying body block.

Mauro Ranallo: Did you see Jeff’s head whip?! Like a car wreck.

Bray punched him and connected with an avalanche. Wyatt went for a senton splash, but Hardy rolls out of the way. Hardy punched away at him, but Wyatt reversed an attempted whip into the corner. Jeff sidestepped and hit a pair of corner clotheslines. He followed up with a bulldog and went to the second rope. Bray caught him and went for a uranage, but Jeff elbowed out and hit a side effect for a near fall. Jeff went for a Twist of Fate, but Bray shoved him off. Jeff elbowed and booted him back before slamming him down by the hair. Jeff went for the top rope swonton bomb!

Corey Graves: Hardy got it! The Swonton Bomb!

Jeff went for the pin 1…2…3!

Jeff’s arm was raised in victory as the crowd cheered.

Maura Ranallo: A victory here tonight for Jeff Hardy! What awaits him on the road to Wrestlemania?


MATCH SIX

Mauro Ranallo: Up next, in our main event, Tommy End goes one on one with Rey Mysterio Jr!

"Booyaka 619" by P.O.D. hit and Rey Mysterio made his way to the ring. When Mysterio was in the ring, "Lost in the Static" by After the Burial hit and Tommy End headed to the ring.

Corey Graves: Tommy End made an impact when he debuted at the Royal Rumble, making it to the final four. Can the Dutch Destroyer mark his first singles match here in EBWF with a victory?

Mauro Ranallo: Don't forget Corey, it's Rey Mysterio's first singles match too. I'm sure neither one of these superstars wants to walk out of her with an L!

Upon entering the ring, End stared intently at Rey Mysterio. The referee called for the bell, and Mysterio ran at Tommy End, but End reacted quickly, taking Mysterio down with a big boot.

Corey Graves: Impressive reflexes there by Tommy End!

Mysterio got to his feet, and End hit him with a series of kicks, then whipped him against the ropes. As Mysterio ran back towards him, End went for a powerslam, but Mysterio countered with a headscissors takedown, then followed it up with a dropkick, sending End into the corner. Mysterio sat End on the top turnbuckle, then hit him with the Frankensteiner! He then hit a split-legged moonsault before hooking the leg. The referee counted – 1... 2... kickout!

Mauro Ranallo: Rey Mysterio is rolling back the years here! The veteran superstar hasn't lost a step!

Mysterio pulled End to his feet and whipped him against the ropes, then went for a leg lariat. End ducked out of the way, then grabbed Mysterio and hit a Saito suplex. Both men got to their feet, and End hit a brainbuster, then ran towards the ropes, hitting a springboard moonsault.

Corey Graves: Quebrada! Great athleticism there by Tommy End!

End hooked the leg and the referee counted – 1... 2... kickout! End pulled Mysterio to his feet and set him up for a powerbomb... but as he lifted him up, Mysterio countered with a hurricanrana. End landed on the ropes, and to the delight of the crowd, Mysterio hit him with the 619!

Mauro Ranallo: Are you ready for this, Corey? It's time for the West Coast Pop!

Mysterio signalled for the West Coast Pop, then as End got to his feet, the lucha libre superstar springboarded off the top rope. As Mysterio flew towards him, End swung his leg round, hitting hitting Mysterio with a spinning heel kick to the face!

Mauro Ranallo: Mamma Mia! Owari Death Kick!

Corey Graves: What a counter! Mysterio is out cold!

End hooked the leg and the referee counted – 1... 2... 3! The referee called for the bell, then raised End's arm in victory.

Mauro Ranallo: What a match! We'll here from the new EBWF World Champion Kenny Omega after the break... don't go anywhere!

SEGMENT

After the exciting main event of Warfare concluded, a video package recapping the events of the EBWF Royal Rumble was shown, concluding with the elimination of PJ Black, securing Kenny Omega’s historic win. As the video finished, Christy Hemme was in the middle of the ring that was adorned with a red carpet, and surrounded by balloons tied to each turnbuckle.

Christy Hemme: Ladies and Gentleman, please welcome the 2018 EBWF Royal Rumble winner and your NEW EBWF World Heavyweight Champion, The Cleaner! Kenny Omega! 

Devil’s Sky hit as the crowd roared to their feet to cheer the arrival of the Champion but no one showed. The music was cut as confusion spread across the crowd. Finally a laugh cut the confusion as Kenny Omega appeared on the tron. 

Kenny Omega: Oh wow! They actually rolled out the red carpet. Literal red carpet is in the ring right now, I can hardly believe it. Well by now, most of you might have figured out that I am not with you in Houston, Texas tonight. You see, I’m something of a busy guy, so I’m actually back in Japan, and I won’t be able to see any of you adorable idiots until House of Havoc in London, but I felt I owed everyone here a few answers.

Kenny Omega: Actually, if I’m honest, my phone has been blowing up with messages since I won and I just need it to end. I don’t owe anyone here anything! And I just haaaad to check out my celebration decorations! Very nice. But No confetti? Sad. I digress! So one thing that everyone has been asking is if I am the one responsible for the terrible attack on Bret Hart during the Rumble. I mean, I guess I can see why people might think it was me. I replaced him in the Rumble, and it was a pretty primo spot that he had… but I can only say one thing. - OF COURSE IT WAS ME! I mean he was practically begging for it. Bret Hart is SIXTY YEARS OLD. He should not be near a wrestling ring. I mean, I didn’t even beat him that badly and you saw what happened to him. He should thank me. You all should thank me. But I don’t need your thanks. All the thanks I need is right here in my shiny new championship belt. But why don’t we try a question from the audience…?

The crowd shouted out various questions at the tron as Kenny leaned in and held his hand to his ear.

Kenny Omega: IDIOTS! I’m in Japan and this isn’t facetime! A lot of people have been asking why the EBWF? Why now? I’m the biggest thing in Professional Wrestling, so where else am I going to go? Thousands of hours of training, years and years of wrestling, my god, FOURTEEN Mothafucking years… it’s finally come down to this. A dream come true. But it’s a fair trade. Fourteen years to become a legend. Not many people become a legend. Not many people even get to the EBWF, or succeed in it. You see, few people are like me though. Few people can make THE SACRIFICE to be a Legend. But here I sit, EBWF World Champion and I haven’t even really wrestled a match here yet. If that’s not LEGENDARY, I don’t know what is.

Kenny Omega: Now I appreciate the pomp and circumstance, I really do, but I got some other stuff to do… so I say to you now…

GOOD BYE (MWAH!) AND GOOD NIGHT!

BANG!

Just as Kenny said BANG! Confetti fell from the ceiling and streamers exploded from the turnbuckles. 

Kenny Omega: Hey! Confetti!

Kenny let out a laugh, and the scene faded to an EBWF Logo as Warfare went of the air.
