Mauro Ranallo: Good evening and welcome to Warfare! We are live from Salt Lake City, Utah, and kicking things off we've got a triple threat match!
Christy Hemme announced all three men as they did their entrances. Big Show came out first, followed by Marty Scurll and Andrade Cien Almas. Almas was accompanied by his manager, Zelina Vega.
Mauro Ranallo: Zelina shouldn’t even be out there!
Corey Graves: How could you have a problem with that, Mauro? Look at her!
The bell rang, and Show went after Almas and Scurll early on with some body shots. Show tossed Scurll into the corner and quickly tossed Almas to the mat. Show landed a huge chest chop on Scurll, and then went across the ring to put one on Almas. Almas slapped Show!
Mauro Ranallo: You might live to regret that Andrade!
Big Show followed up with a head butt on Almas, and another big chop to the chest. Almas and Scurll double teamed Show with a few shots. They attempted a double suplex, but Big Show gave them a double suplex instead. Big Show hit a quick body splash to Scurll in the corner, and Marty fell out of the ring.
Corey Graves: Almas is on his own!
Almas came out firing on all cylinders with a dropkick to Show’s knee as he came off the ropes. Almas landed kicks to Big Show. He called for the Hammerlock DDT, and Zelina began to pound the ring apron. Big Show broke it up and chopped Almas Scurll came flying in at Big Show, but Almas broke that up. Show stood on Almas’ back, causing him to scream in pain. Zelina began berating Big Show from the outside. Show again sent Scurll to the outside from the ring apron.
Mauro Ranallo: Careful Zelina, don’t get Show’s attention.
Show missed a splash in the corner, and caught Almas coming off the top, and then dropped an elbow over his chest. Show caught Scurll with a huge speak, hooking the leg, but Scurll kicked out. Show put a dazed Scurll and Almas next to each other near the corner. Show went up to the second rope and jumped back. Almas rolled out of the way, and Show caught Scurll. Almas came off the top rope over Show. Show grabbed Almas around the neck and sent him over the top rope. Show worked over Scurll at ringside when Almas lanced himself through the second rope. Show caught him and launched him into the ropes. He took Scurll into the ring for a side slam. Almas dropped Show off the top rope, and Scurll connected with a DDT.
Corey Graves: Scurll and Almas trying to work together again.
Almas hit a flying clothesline, but Big Show powered out of the pinfall attempt. Almas kicked Big Show’s head and got a modified triangle choke applied. Show powered out again and chopped the chest of Almas. Big Show grabbed both Almas and Scurll and connected with a double choke slam. Big Show hooked the leg on Scurll but Marty kicked out. He covered Almas but Almas kicked out. Big Show called for the knockout punch and hit on Scurll, but turned around into the Hammerlock DDT from Almas. Zelina pounded the apron again, screaming at Almas to pin Show. He hooked the leg.
Mauro Ranallo: He might pull this off.

Corey Graves: Andrade Cein Almas has done it! He has qualified for a #1 Contendership match for the Breakout Championship. He will compete next week! Later tonight we’ll find out if he faces Cody Rhodes, Hardcore Holly or Kevin Steen!
Warfare returned back from a commercial break with newcomer Nicole Matthews stood in the ring awaiting her opponent for the night. The lights dimmed down as ‘Pourquoi’ began to play from the sound system.
Christy Hemme: The following contest is schedule for one fall! Introducing first, already in the ring, Nicole Matthews! Now making her way to the ring, Maryse!!
Maryse reached the ring and made her way up onto the apron and across to the opposing side, holding onto the top rope. Nicole turned her back, preparing herself for the match and Maryse immediately took advantage, darting across the ring and slamming her fore arm into Nicole’s back, sending her down onto the canvas in a bundling mess.
Corey Graves: Typical, tactical Maryse!!
Maryse took a massive hand full of Nicole’s hair, pulling her head backwards before jabbing her clean in the throat! The crowd began to boo at Maryse's dirty tactics as she got up to her feet, taunting the crowd. Maryse turned and was instantly kicked directly into the ropes by Nicole, grasping her stomach. Nicole took the advantage and began delivering swift kicks to Maryse's mid-section before dropping down for a quick pin. 1....2.... Maryse powered out of the pinfall, quickly rolling out under the bottom rope to the outside of the ring.
Mauro Ranallo: brilliant tactics by Maryse, Corey!
Nicole followed Maryse to the outside only to be caught by a vicious slap across the face, sending her stumbling into the barricade. Maryse quickly capitalized, grabbing Nicole and sending her flying into the steel steps! The referee began to count.
1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8.
Maryse quickly grabbed Nicole and sent her rolling into the ring, going for the cover. 1...2!!! Nicole somehow managed to power out only to be dragged to her feet. Nicole staggered back slightly, only to be caught by a huge boot to the side of the head by Maryse!! 1....2...3!!!!
Corey Graves: MARYSE HAS DONE IT!!
Maryse quickly dove to her feet, flinging her arms into the air, catching a breath!
Christy Hemme: Here is your winner, Maryse!!!!!
“Unsettling Differences” began to play from the sound system as Kevin Steen began to make his way down to the ring.
Christy Hemme: The following contest is a number one contenders qualifying triple threat match for the EBWF Breakout Championship!! Introducing first, Kevin Steen!!
Kevin had reached the ring as "Kingdom" by Downstait took over. Cody looked like he had victory on his mind as he made his way to the ring. “How do you like me now?” Began to play as Hardcore Holly stormed out onto the ramp way to a chorus of boos! Holly walked faster with each step and within no time had reached the ring.
Corey Graves: Holly looks extremely focused tonight Mauro!!
Mauro Ranallo: I wouldn’t like to be either man going against Holly tonight!
The bell rang and immediately, Hardcore Holly sent Cody Rhodes bundling over the top rope to the outside of the ring, Kevin quickly charged from behind and slammed his fore arm into Holly’s back, sending him into the turnbuckle. Kevin followed on with a few swift chops to the chest of Holly before sending him stumbling into the centre of the ring. Steen connects with a huge drop kick, sending Holly down onto the canvas.
Corey Graves: Looks like Kevin has total control of this match!
Steen turned around and was caught by a huge flying drop kick delivered by Cody Rhodes. Kevin dropped to the canvas and Cody quickly goes in for the cover. 1....2.... Holly broke the cover and quickly rolled Cody into a small package but it was quickly broken as both men get to their feet. Holly and Cody locked up with Holly gaining the advantage, whipping Cody across into the turnbuckle before connecting with a corner clothesline, sending Cody onto his knees. Holly walked a few meters back before charging forward, connecting with a huge knee to the temple of Cody Rhodes.
Mauro Ranallo: Cody could be out cold!!
Corey Graves: He almost decapitated Cody!!
Kevin Steen was by now back to his feet and quickly got behind Holly, rolling him into a quick pin fall! 1....2.... Holly managed to get his shoulder off the canvas to break the pin fall. Steen became extremely frustrated by this and begun to bicker with the referee, momentarily distracting himself letting Holly get to his feet and stalk him. Kevin turned around slowly to be immediately taken down with a huge clothesline! Holly got down and covered Steen. 1.... 2.... Kevin managed to get his foot onto the bottom rope, immediately cancelling out the pin fall to Hardcore Holly's dismay!
Corey Graves: How did Kevin have the strength to even lift his leg after that brutal clothesline!!
Holly quickly got to his feet and turned to be quickly met with a huge drop kick from Cody, sending him hurtling into the ropes, Holly sprung back and managed to dodge a clothesline, reversing back and connecting with a massive big boot! Cody hit the canvas hard but quickly rolled out of the ring to the outside. Holly followed and pulled Cody to his feet, sending him catapulting into the ringside barrier! Steen has gotten to his feet by now and was watching the happenings outside, darting across the ring, Kevin soars through the middle and top rope but is caught by Holly and sent flying into the barrier. Holly quickly capitalized on this and sent Steen hard into the steel steps before quickly lifting him and hurling him back into the ring. Holly quickly followed as did Cody.

3....!
Just after the referee had counted the three count, Cody tried to break it but was just a second too late, Holly was victorious as he quickly rose to his feet, raising his arms in victory!
Corey Graves: What a victory for Hardcore Holly!
Mauro Ranallo: That was a great match Corey!
Mauro Ranallo: Up next, we've got a women's division tag team match as Becky Lynch and Nikki Cross team up to take on Liv Morgan and Mandy Rose!
Mandy Rose made her way to the ring first, followed by Liv Morgan. Nikki Cross came out next, and finally Becky Lynch headed to the ring. The match started out with Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan. They walked to the center of the ring, and they got into a stare down. The Queenslayer and Liv glared into the eyes of one another for a few tense moments until the first move was made. Liv threw a punch to the face of Becky. This caused Becky to turn her head to the right. Becky turned her face back into the direction of Liv. Liv threw another punch to the face of Becky, which caused the latter to turn her head to the right once again. Becky turned her face back into the direction of Liv again. Liv threw a third punch, but before it connected, Becky raised her hand and grabbed Liv by the wrist before she twisted Liv’s arm. With her arm twisted, Liv yelps out in pain before Becky threw a punch to the face of Liv that caused Liv to back up a little.
Mauro Ranallo: A right hand from Becky and Liv is rocked.
Corey Graves: What a punch from the Queenslayer. That could’ve loosened a few teeth.
While Liv’s wrist was still in her grasp, Becky pulled her into another punch that knocked Liv down to the mat. With Liv down on the mat, Becky mounted her and immediately went to work as she punched Liv - one, two three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten times - before the referee yelled at the Queenslayer to get off of Liv. When Becky didn’t comply, the referee utilized the count.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Becky let up after four and got off of Liv who also got to her feet and backed into the northeast corner. Not wasting any time whatsoever, Becky whipped Liv to the opposite corner, the southwest corner. Right when her back hit the turnbuckle, Liv fired out of the corner with a clothesline attempt, but Becky instead took her down with a leg lariat.
Mauro Ranallo: So far, Becky’s in control.
Corey Graves: Yeah? Well, just because she’s in control now doesn’t mean a thing. One move could turn the tide of the match in Liv’s favor.
When Liv got to her feet again, Becky charged at her and connected with a clothesline. Liv got back to her feet and stumbled right back into the southwest corner. While in the corner, Liv was struck by another clothesline from Becky. Becky climbed up to the second turnbuckle and she started punching Liv in the face as the crowd counted along all the way to ten.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
SEVEN!
EIGHT!
NINE!
TEN!
Becky looked over at Liv’s corner and smirked at Mandy before she hopped off the turnbuckle. Liv stumbled out of the corner and was met by Becky, who took her down with a Snap Suplex and quickly went for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
Liv kicked out and Becky quickly brought Liv to her feet, and she punched Liv in the face. This punch backed Liv into the ropes on the west side of the ring, and Becky attempted an Irish whip, but Liv reversed. With Becky oncoming, Liv hit her with a back elbow that knocked Becky down.
Mauro Ranallo: Now, we see Liv showing signs of life.
Corey Graves: See? What did I tell you, Mauro?
Liv took a moment to recuperate just a little bit before Becky made it up to all fours, and once Becky made it up to all fours, Liv charged at her and punted her right in the stomach, and it forced the air out of Becky’s lungs. Becky rolled around, hissing in pain and lied on her side as Liv charged at her again, and violently kicked the Queenslayer right in her back, and it caused Becky to roll right out of the ring to catch her breath while the referee chided Liv for her doings. Meanwhile, on the outside, Mandy went after Becky and before she was able to land a blow, Nikki made her move to back Becky up as the referee turned his attention to ringside, where Becky, Nikki, and Mandy were located. The referee yelled at Nikki and Mandy to go to their respective corners. Becky looked at Mandy with a smug grin, and she dared Mandy to punch her, knowing full well that if Mandy did, Nikki would jump in.
Mauro Ranallo: Becky was sent to that outside and Nikki was there to back her up.
Corey Graves: You know, Nikki’s a nutcase but who knows? Maybe she can be trustworthy.
While this went on, Liv stepped through the ropes and onto the apron. On the apron now, Liv attempted an axe handle, but Becky saw it coming and sidestepped, thus forcing Liv and all of her momentum to violently smack into the barricade. Becky grabbed Liv by the hair and placed Liv into a side headlock, and with Liv in a side headlock, Becky started throwing punches. Becky punched Liv in the face - one, two, three, four, five times - stopped and looked up at Mandy with a smirk. After she smirked at Mandy a second time, Becky rolled Liv right into the ring, and entered after her. After Liv got to her feet, Becky attempted to whip her to the ropes only for Liv to reverse and instead whipped Becky to the ropes. As Becky came running back toward Liv, Liv hopped up but before she can do anything, Becky reversed it into a Spinebuster.
Mauro Ranallo: A vicious spinebuster from Becky to Liv.
Corey Graves: I think the entire audience could have heard Liv’s spine cracking up in the cheap seats.
With Liv on her back, Becky quickly grabbed her arm, and attempted to place Liv into the Dis-Arm-Her. While Becky attempted to place Liv in the Dis-Arm-Her, Liv attempted to fight out of it and when it seemed that Becky was going to lock in the Dis-Arm-Her, Liv managed to turn over and poked her in the eye and it effectively got Becky off of her. Becky stumbled over to the ropes and tagged in Nikki as Liv got to her feet. With the fresh opponent that she was faced with, Liv quickly made it over to her corner and tagged in Mandy.
Mauro Ranallo: Nikki and Mandy are now the legal women in the match.
Corey Graves: Finally, we’ll get to see the Golden Goddess in all of her glory.
As Mandy approached her, Nikki caught her with a kick to the midsection, and then she punched Mandy. With Mandy reeling, Nikki whipped Mandy to the ropes. Once Mandy bounced off the ropes, Nikki lowered her head, but it was early enough for Mandy to counter it with a Snap Suplex. When both ladies got to their feet, Mandy charged at Nikki and connected with a clothesline. Mandy got to her feet after she noticed that Nikki was stirring. So Mandy grabbed Nikki by the head and brought her to her feet, just to ram Nikki’s head into the top turnbuckle in the northeast corner. Mandy turned Nikki around so Nikki was facing her, and she started choking Nikki with her boot. The referee started the count.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Mandy let up and connected with a flurry of kicks to the midsection and punches to the head, and it caused Nikki to drop to a seated position. With Nikki in a seated position, the punches and kicks transitioned to all out mudhole stomping. Mandy continued to stomp a mudhole and walk it dry as the referee counted.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Mandy let up and the referee chided her for her actions.
Mauro Ranallo: “Mandy’s really showing some aggression here tonight...
Corey Graves: Did you see who she’s in the ring with? Mandy’s in the ring with a psychopath who only knows how to be aggressive. This is a case of fighting aggression with aggression.
As Nikki made it back to her feet, Mandy grabbed her by the head and punched her in the face, and it dropped Nikki down to all fours. Mandy grabbed Nikki by the hair and backed her into the ropes before whipping her to the opposite ropes. After Nikki bounced off the ropes once, Mandy attempted a clothesline, but Nikki ducked. After Nikki bounced off the ropes again with Mandy chasing her, Mandy took her down with a Clothesline and went for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
Nikki kicked out at two and both ladies got to their feet, Mandy took Nikki down with a suplex and she flicked her hair and struck a pose while the crowd lets out a negative reaction as she walked over to the northeast corner. After striking a pose, Mandy walked up to Nikki’s prone body and hit her with a Leg Drop. Mandy picked Nikki up by the head and punched her in the face. Mandy grabbed Nikki’s head again and rammed it into the top turnbuckle of the northwest corner. Mandy punched Nikki in the face, and Nikki retaliated with a punch to the face of her own. She then landed a couple more shots to Mandy and backed Mandy into the southwest corner.
Mauro Ranallo: Now, Nikki is starting to fight back here.
Corey Graves: As much as I love Mandy striking a pose, she shouldn’t have done that around Nikki. If you give Nikki the slightest of openings, she’s gonna take it. While she’s a well-known raving psychopath, she’s also crazy like a fox.
With Mandy backed into the corner, Nikki threw Mandy to the opposing corner, but Mandy reversed and gave chase. However, Nikki saw her coming and got the foot up, catching Mandy on her jaw with a big boot. Being quick to capitalize, Nikki dropped Mandy with the DDT and attempted a pinfall.
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-NO!
Mandy kicked out and Nikki looked up at the referee who assures her that it was only two. After getting to her feet, Nikki approached Mandy with the latter throwing punches at Nikki’s midsection. Mandy fought her way to her feet and Nikki poked her with a thumb to the eye. With Mandy’s back to her, Nikki started attacking Mandy’s left knee with her foot, and after a few shots to the knee, Mandy dropped to her knees. After another shot to her knee, Mandy dropped to her stomach while writhing in pain. Mandy was clutching her left knee, Nikki stomped at it, and then she dropped a big knee to Mandy’s knee. Like a shark smelling blood, Nikki grabbed Mandy’s left leg and turned over, placing Mandy into the half-Boston crab.
Mauro Ranallo: Nikki went to work on Mandy’s leg and now has her in the half-crab.
Corey Graves: If Mandy doesn’t do something, it could be over.
Somehow, Mandy found it within herself to turn herself and Nikki over. She reached up to Nikki’s face and rake her eyes, causing Nikki to release the hold. Mandy got to her feet and clutched her knee that’s now in pain while Nikki also got to her feet. Nikki wasted no time in attacking Mandy’s knee once again and she dropped Mandy with a Russian Legsweep before placing Mandy into a Leg Lock. The move wasn’t on too long before Mandy started throwing punches into Nikki’s face - punching her one, two, three, four, five times - and caused Nikki to release the hold. Nikki got to her feet first and dragged Mandy to the center of the ring, and stomped on Mandy’s knee. Mandy got to her feet, and Nikki backed her into the northeast corner with Mandy’s knee hanging on the middle rope. With Mandy’s knee in a precarious position, Nikki stomped at it viciously and repeatedly as the referee counted.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Nikki stopped at four to look at the referee. Nikki turned her attention back to Mandy who punched Nikki in the face, and Mandy turned the tables by forcing Nikki into the same corner. She threw punches to Nikki’s head and kicks to Nikki’s midsection before she attacked Nikki’s midsection with shoulder thrusts and the referee counted.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Mandy backed up after the referee counts to four, only to charge at Nikki. Nikki got her feet up again, but Mandy ducked and slid out of the ring just to pull Nikki’s feet out from under her, and caused Nikki’s face to slam into the mat. As Nikki got back to her feet, Mandy climbed to the top rope.
Mauro Ranallo: This is unusual. Mandy’s going up to the top rope. What does she have in mind?
Corey Graves: No idea, but seeing her taking this kind of risk with a bad leg really shows that she wants to win this.
Once she turned around, Nikki is taken down by a missile dropkick from Mandy, a move that hurt Mandy as well as Nikki. Mandy crawled over to Nikki and attempted a pin.
ONE!
TWO!
THR-NO!
Nikki kicked out. Both ladies got to their feet, and Mandy threw Nikki to the ropes and took her down with a powerslam before attempting a pinfall.
ONE!
TWO!
THR-NO!
Nikki kicked out. Mandy picked Nikki up again and whipped her to the ropes, knocking her down with an enzuigiri, causing more pain to Mandy’s knee. Mandy crawled over to Nikki and went for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-NO!
Nikki kicked out. Mandy picked Nikki up again and whipped her hard into the northeast corner, and takes her down with a dropkick as she comes out of the corner. She went for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
THR-NO!
Nikki kicked out. After Nikki and Mandy got to their feet, Mandy jumped up, but Nikki reversed it into a sit-out powerbomb and went for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
THR-NO!
Mandy kicked out. With how both ladies felt spent, they started crawling to their respective corners. The first women that got to her corner was Mandy Rose who managed to tag in Liv Morgan. Once Liv was tagged in, she made a beeline for Becky, running at her and clubbing her with a forearm before Nikki could tag her in. The referee backed Liv up and Nikki tagged Becky in behind the referee’s back as the crowd came alive for the Queenslayer.
Mauro Ranallo: The Queenslayer has been tagged in and now Liv’s in trouble!
Once Becky entered the ring and ran at Liv in order to continue the fight that they had earlier, the referee turned his attention back to Becky and stopped her. Given that he didn’t see the tag, the referee ordered Becky to go back out onto the apron.
Corey Graves: Yeah, but the referee didn’t see the tag!
Becky was about to blow a gasket, and yelled at the referee that she was tagged in by Nikki. The referee told her to go back out onto the apron. Becky flipped him off, “Fook off, I was tagged in!”
The referee responded with, “I didn’t see it. So, it doesn’t count. Now, get back out onto the apron before I disqualify your team!” Once again, Becky flipped off the referee before she reluctantly stepped back out onto the apron.
Mauro Ranallo: Becky’s not taking that too kindly, now is she?
Corey Graves: I would’ve disqualified her once she stuck that finger up. There’s no need for that.
Now that order was restored in the match, Liv pulled Nikki over to the southeast corner, the corner of Liv and Mandy, and attempted a STO. However, before Liv could perform the move, Nikki elbowed her in the side of the head. Nikki went for the Purge. However, Liv had the wherewithal to grab the top rope. Before Nikki could do something, Liv punched her in the stomach and then quickly dropped Nikki with the Reverse Roundhouse Kick.
Mauro Ranallo: The Reverse Roundhouse Kick!
Corey Graves: Outta nowhere!
Liv went for the pin.
ONE! Charlotte came in through the crowd and pulled Becky off of the apron.
Mauro Ranallo: Oh, my god! It’s Charlotte from the crowd!
Corey Graves: The Queen is here and she’s not happy about the Queenslayer beating her!
TWO! Charlotte and Becky brawled at ringside. Once Becky got the upper hand, Charlotte knocked her down with a big boot.
THREE!!! “Illest” by Far East Movement hit the PA System.
Mandy Rose and Liv Morgan stood in the ring side-by-side with the referee between them, and raised their arms. Meanwhile, Charlotte and Becky continued brawling. They brawled through the crowd as Warfare went to a break.
Christy Hemme: This match is scheduled for one fall, and it is the main event of the evening!
The Woken Anthem hit the PA, and Matt Hardy came from behind the curtain doing the delete taunt.
Christy Hemme: Introducing first, from Cameron, North Carolina, Matt Hardy!
“Moments” by Sevendust hit, and the crowd was unsure of the unfamiliar entrance music.
Christy Hemme: And his opponent, from Chicago, Illinois, Aiden English!
The bell rang, and the crowd started firmly behind English as the two men locked up. English put Hardy in a headlock, but Matt started fighting back. Aiden fought Matt back down, and went for the cover.
1… 2… kickout!
Corey Graves: Aiden English knows it’s going to take more than that to keep the Woken One down!
Aiden got Matt back in a headlock. Hardy fought out of it, but Aiden dropped him back down. Matt got out of it and got to his feet. He climbed to the top rope, and a flying clothesline took Aiden down. He went for the cover.
1… 2…
Mauro Ranallo: Aiden English kicks out!
Both men got back to their feet and exchanged right hands. Hardy took English down with a drop kick and went for the cover, but English kicked out again. Hardy hit the neck breaker, and he went to the top rope. English followed him up, and kneed Matt in the face. English hit a suplex off the top rope and went for the cover but Matt Hardy kicked out.
Corey Graves: These two men trading pin attempts and it’s creating an exciting match up!
Aiden ran toward Matt, who went for the sling blade, but Aiden pushed Matt off and grabbed him for the Director’s Cut!
Mauro Ranallo: Are you kidding me?!
The crowd went wild as Aiden turned Matt over on his back and pinned him.
1… 2… 3!
Corey Graves: It's over! Aiden English gets the victory!
As Aiden English celebrated his victory, “MANTRA” by Bring Me The Horizon played throughout the arena as Jimmy Havoc and The Miz made their way into the ring. As they entered the ring, English and Havoc fist bumped. Havoc then grabbed a microphone, and with Miz and Aiden English stood either side of him, the World Champion began to speak.
Jimmy Havoc: It seems that this unlovable Brit actually has some friends in this company!
The crowd cheered.
Jimmy Havoc: You both know I’m not one for ceremony or compliments and I know I act tough and would happily say I’ll take down LEGION on my own but, I’m glad to have you alongside me. Miz, you damn earned my respect at Summerslam and the week before. You hung and made me fight, isn’t anyone I’d rather have by my side right now.
The Miz took the microphone as the crowd cheered.
The Miz: All the Mizfits know that when a common enemy steps into this ring and tries to takeover and ruin my Championship right, we have to put...them...down!
The crowd cheered loudly as Miz handed the microphone back.
Jimmy Havoc: and Aiden, you haven’t been here long but you’ve proven time and time again that you’re here for the long haul. You’re a franchise player in the making and ready for the Ikeda fine tuning to be the Main Event I know you can be.
Aiden grabbed the microphone.
Aiden English: I always have your back Jimmy, you’re my friend. In ring and out of it, we always ride or die together. I couldn’t stand idly by and watch you and Miz take a beating from Tommy End and his band of goths. I only did what’s right.
Jimmy Havoc: That’s the point. There is one team in EBWF, one faction and that is EBWF. We are a family, no disease and no parasite like LEGION will ever get to come in here and takeover. Not when you have the three greatest Professional Wrestlers stood right here facing the opposite side of you, watching your every move and being one step ahead of you for the good of this company. I’ve had my quarrels with Jericho and Ikeda but EBWF is my fucking home and I’ll be damned if anyone tries to destroy it!
As Jimmy attempted to continue, his microphone cut out. He pounded it against his hand a couple of times before the lights in the arena went out. The tron flickered with static as “Lost in the Static” blasted onto the sound system. Havoc, Miz, and English looked around at each other in the blackness. They looked up at the entrance as Tommy End walked out with a deep red spotlight on him. He stopped in the middle of the stage as he looked to his side. Zahra Schreiber walked up and stood next to him. She looked back at him and gave a smirk. He turned his head to the other side just as Michael Dante walked up on his other side. Tommy looked ahead of himself and stared into the ring. The two groups of three locked eyes in silence. Tommy raised a microphone, which he held in his right hand.
Tommy End: Jimmy... The three of us were listening to you in the back. Challenging us... Stating that the sides are even... Is that what you really believe?
In the darkness, the camera flashed to Havoc who gave a nod and mouthed the words, “Damn right.” The camera switched back to Tommy who shook his head.
Tommy End: I know what you’re thinking. There’s three of you...
Tommy looked over at Zahra and pointed to her. He turned and pointed at Dante. Tommy then looked down as he pointed to himself.
Tommy End: And three of us…
He lowered the microphone as he paused for a moment. He looked out at the crowd before he raised the microphone and continued.
Tommy End: The thing is Jimmy... You’re thinking too small... You’re thinking that what you see in front of you is it. You, just like all these other simple minded fools, only believe in what you see in front of you. You don’t take a moment to think about the bigger picture. No... Instead, you want to believe that the three of us...
Tommy motioned between the three bodies on the stage.
Tommy End: We’re Legion.
He took a deep breath as he shook his head.
Tommy End: Don’t get me wrong, you’re correct. The three of us... We are Legion. But we’re only the beginning.
Tommy walked to the ring slowly with Zahra and Dante both still at his sides.
Tommy End: What you fail to see... What you all fail to see... is what we’ve been saying since we got here.
Tommy stopped at ringside. He looked over at Dante who begun to walk around the ring. Jimmy motioned to The Miz to keep his eye on Dante, which he followed. Dante rounded another corner and stopped on the opposite side of the ring from Tommy. The two men looked at each other across from one another.
Tommy End: We’ve had a lot of jokesters lately... And now seems like no better time than ever to prove that everything we’ve been saying... It’s all true.
Jimmy stared down at Tommy while The Miz and English kept their eyes on Dante. All of a sudden, numerous spotlights hit the ring. Havoc, Miz, and English all threw up their hands from the blinding light. When the light dimmed, Tommy and Dante stood on the aprons across from each other. However, they were not alone. On the remaining two aprons stood two other men. Men who have never been seen in EBWF before. An immediate gasp came from the EBWF Universe.
Mauro Ranallo: WHO THE!!!
Corey Graves: Is that... Oh my god…
The camera flashed to the face of one of the men. With a stern face, the blonde bearded man stared into the ring at Havoc and his team. He wore jeans and a black shirt with a leather vest. Around his neck, Page hung his signature noose made out of a bull rope. He sneered as he brushed back his shoulder length hair out of his eyes.
Corey Graves: That... That’s Adam Page!! “Hangman” Page is in Legion!!
The camera flashed over to the other man, a man who had only appeared in EBWF once before. A man who was, in the eyes of many, the greatest professional wrestler in the world. While Page was dressed in street clothes, this man was dressed in his ring gear. He looked up into the ring, locking eyes with Havoc.
Mauro Ranallo: That can’t be...
Corey Graves: Oh it can be... And it is…
Mauro Ranallo: Kazuchika Okada...
The crowd wanted to boo, but with the sight of the two additional members of Legion, they couldn’t do anything except let out a loud cheer for two of the most well-known wrestlers in the world.
Mauro Ranallo: Kazuchika Okada is a member of Legion!
Corey Graves: Things just got serious...
Tommy looked around the ring at his team. Havoc blinked a few times before he was able to see what was set up. He looked around at all four sides of the ring. Before Miz and English were able to get their whereabouts, Jimmy could be seen as he mouthed the word, “shit”. Just then Tommy gave a nod. All four men hit the ring and began to pummel on the three men. Tommy and Page instantly went to Jimmy Havoc. Tommy struck first with a knee to the midsection as Page smashed his forearm into Havoc’s skull.
Corey Graves: IT’S BREAKING DOWN!!
Okada got in and ran at Miz and took him down quick with a clothesline. The blinded Miz crashed to the mat and climbed up with the ropes back to his feet. Okada continued and ran at Miz once more. He clotheslines him over the the top rope. Miz fell to the outside and rolled to the barricade. Okada exited the ring and went right to Miz. Aiden threw a punch as Dante entered the ring, but his punch did no damage. Dante laughed as he stood there and absorbed the assault from English. Dante shook his head and grabbed English by the head. He pivoted on his feet and tossed English clean over the top rope.
Mauro Ranallo: Aiden gets tossed right out in front of us. This is getting out of control!!
Corey Graves: Jimmy Havoc thought that he evened the battlefield, but Legion just started a war.
In the ring Dante stared down at English. He turned around and ran the ropes. Aiden got back to his feet and turned to the ring. Dante charged the ropes and dove through them and crashed into Aiden. Dante and English both flew into the announcer’s table and shoved it back a few inches.
Mauro Ranallo: OH MY GOD!!
Corey Graves: Aiden just got hit by a flying tank!!
Okada picked Miz up and tucked down. Okada rammed forward and slammed Miz’s lower back into the barricade. Miz grabbed at his back, but before he knew it, Okada picked him up and turned around. Okada rammed Miz back first into the apron. Back in the ring, Page hooked Havoc around the waist. He turned Havoc’s body to Tommy who jumped at Havoc and kneed him in the side of the head. Page then lifted Havoc and dropped him backwards in a German suplex. Havoc curled up and rolled head over end into the turnbuckle. Page and Tommy looked at each other when...
BREAK THE WALLS DOWN!!!
The music blasted onto the sound system. Tommy and Page looked up at the stage as Chris Jericho ran out from the back in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. His scarves flew around his neck as he bolted down the ramp where Okada came around the ring to meet him.
Mauro Ranallo: CHRIS JERICHO!!!
Corey Graves: What’s he doing here!!
Mauro Ranallo: It looks like he’s here to help!! The sides are all even once again!!
Jericho ducked under Okada’s clothesline and jumped up on the apron. He did a backwards moonsault and took out Okada. Jericho returned to his feet and looked into the ring. He charged at the ring once more, but Zahra stepped in his way. Jericho stopped and looked at her. She shook her head. Jericho shrugged his shoulder and took off his scarves and threw them in Zahra’s face. Jericho rushed around her and slid into the ring. He was met quickly by Tommy and Page who laid into Jericho with some kicks.
Mauro Ranallo: Legion attacking like a pack of wolves!!
Jericho suffered through the kicks for a few moments before Havoc jumped up and took Adam Page down with a dropkick to the back. Jimmy then clubbed Tommy into the back as he cleared the men off of Jericho. He turned around hit Tommy with a forearm as Jericho got to his feet. Havoc turned back around. Havoc and Jericho stared at each other. With their past, you could feel the tension. The crowd cheered at the two men had a brief stare down before Tommy and Page attacked from behind. Tommy delivered a stiff kicked to the back of Havoc’s leg as Page ran at Jericho and jumped with his knee and knocked Jericho through the ropes. Page got out onto the apron and waited as Jericho returned to his feet. Page ran along the apron and flipped backwards and hit Jericho with a shooting star.
Mauro Ranallo: MAMMA MIA!!! SHOOTING STAR!!!
Corey Graves: Things are getting out of control!!
Back in the ring, Havoc threw a stiff fist that connected with Tommy’s jaw. Tommy took a step backwards, but he lunged forward with a high jumping knee. Havoc fell back against the ropes but sprung off them and hit a clothesline. Both men crashed on the mat. At the announcer table, Aiden managed to get away from Dante. He reached behind the table and picked up one of the monitors. Aiden smashed the monitor into Dante’s face and then turned to the table. Aiden begun to clear the table as Dante returned to his knee. Aiden looked at the table and then at Dante. The EBWF Universe that sat behind the announcers cheered as they knew what Aiden was planning. Aiden picked Dante up and stood behind him.
Mauro Ranallo: WE BETTER GET OUTTA HERE!!!
Corey Graves: He can’t do this... How...
Aiden locked up Dante next to the table and tried to lift the big man up, but he couldn’t. Dante broke the hold and spun around and dropped English with a right forearm. English fell back against the table. Dante took a few steps back and then ran at English once more. He speared Aiden over the table and into the announcer’s chairs.
Mauro Ranallo: OH MY GOD!!!
Corey Graves: AIDEN IS BROKEN IN HALF!!
The Miz walked over to Okada, but he was met by Page. Caught off guard, Page smashed the bottom of his boot into Miz’s face. Miz tumbled back against the barricade. Page sized him up and charged. Miz ducked down and back body dropped Page into the EBWF Universe. Miz turned around and climbed on top of the barricade. He waited as Page returned to his feet, only to be hit with a huge axe handle from Miz. Page turned and moved away from Miz, but The Miz was in close pursuit. The two men continued to battle through the crowd to the sound area. Back at ringside, Okada bent down and picked up Jericho. He grabbed at Jericho’s hair and led him up the ramp. Halfway up, Jericho punched at Okada’s midsection. Okada lifted his knee right into Jericho’s nose. Okada continued up the ramp to the stage. Back in the ring, Havoc and Tommy both returned to their feet. The two men stared at each other with hatred in their eyes. The two men screamed as they instantly pummeled into each other with right after right over and over.
Corey Graves: Jimmy and Tommy are laying into each other!!
Mauro Ranallo: This has been building for weeks!!
No man budged as the fists continued to fly. Jimmy threw a hard right and caught Tommy above the eye. Tommy followed up with a spinning back hand. Jimmy retaliated with a discus clothesline. Tommy fell back into the ropes and came back and hit Havoc with a discus knee. Havoc dropped to a knee, but jumped back up and hit Tommy with his own jumping knee. The crowd cheered as both man stood tall.
Corey Graves: Neither man is giving an inch!
Tommy loaded up and struck Jimmy with a huge right. Jimmy took the punch and stared at Tommy. He nodded and braced for another punch. Tommy hit with a harder punch. Jimmy screamed out and stood there for another. Tommy shook his head and lifted his foot and met Jimmy’s head with a kick. Jimmy stumbled a little but stood up tall and looked out at the crowd. Havoc let out another scream as he ripped open his own shirt and revealed his scar. He turned to Tommy and told him to hit him again. Tommy nodded and took a step back. He pumped himself up and then went for a spin. Jimmy quickly grabbed Tommy as his back was turned. In one fluid motion, Havoc spun Tommy out. He pulled him in and hit a hard clothesline.
Mauro Ranallo: ACID RAINMAKER!!! OH MY GOD!!!
Tommy crashed to the mat, but Havoc held onto his arm and pulled him back up to his feet. He turned him in again and hit Tommy with another Acid Rainmaker. The EBWF Universe erupted as Havoc screamed out. Back on the stage, Okada set Jericho on the edge of the stage. He backed up and ran at Jericho, but Jericho moved out of the way. Okada stopped on the edge and quickly turned around. Jericho jumped and leaped at Okada. Both men fell off the stage and crashed through two tables set up side by side.
Mauro Ranallo: JERICHO AND OKADA!!!
Corey Graves: Where the hell did they...
Jimmy stared down at Tommy and went to pick him up when all of a sudden the lights went out. The EBWF Universe went quiet momentarily in the blackness. As the lights flashed back on, a man stood before Jimmy Havoc. Dressed in black trunks with fishnet leggings. The EBWF Universe broke out with “Holy Shit” chants as soon as they figured out who the man, covered in facepaint, was.
Mauro Ranallo: WHO THE HELL IS THAT!!!
Corey Graves: Oh no... Tell me that’s not… MIKEY WHIPLASH!!!
Havoc’s eyes bulged out of their sockets as he stood in front of Whiplash. Without any words, Mikey raised his hand and brought a staple gun to Havoc’s face. He unleashed staples into Havoc’s skull with three quick squeezes of the staple gun.
Mauro Ranallo: OH NO!!
Havoc grabbed at his face and turned away. Whiplash followed and took the staple gun and pumped a few staples into Havoc’s exposed back. Jimmy walked into the corner and turned to Mikey, but Whiplash just raised the staple gun and held it to Havoc’s chest. He squeezed the gun once more and sent a staple right into Havoc’s wound. The crowd gasped as Havoc screamed in sheer pain. Whiplash smiled as he tilted his head. He dropped the staple gun and brought his palm right across the fresh staple. Whiplash then ducked down and picked Havoc up on his shoulders. He turned around and ran out of the corner and dropped Havoc with a Death Valley Driver. Whiplash instantly hopped back to his feet and looked down at Havoc as he reached for his back. Whiplash bent down and mouthed off to Havoc.
Mikey Whiplash: Time to die... Bitch!
Whiplash walked away from Havoc and exited the ring. He walked to the side of the ring and grabbed Tommy End from the ring apron. He stood him on his feet and slapped him.
Mikey Whiplash: Wake the fuck up!
Tommy shook his head loose and looked at Whiplash. He gave a nod and the two men walked around the ring. Tommy dropped to one knee and threw up the apron as Mikey continued around the other side of the ring. Tommy reached under the ring and pulled out two kendo sticks and set them on the edge of the ring. He went back under the ring and pulled out five light tubes, taped together into one giant tube. He set that right next to the kendo sticks.
Mauro Ranallo: Oh my... This is going to be bad.
Mikey reached the other side of the ring and he dropped to his knee and lifted the apron. He reached under the apron and pulled out long metal rod and smiled. He set it on the edge of the ring and went back under the ring. The two men continued to pull different weapons from under the ring. Everything from steel chairs, bats, a table... Jimmy moved around in the ring and looked over at Tommy End who had just set down a sledgehammer on the edge of the ring. Tommy looked in and smirked at Havoc. Tommy slid back into the ring and went over to Havoc. He kicked him in the midsection then rolled Havoc to his back. End mounted Havoc and rained down a few punches right on top of the staples in Havoc’s forehead. Tommy stood up and stomped down on Havoc’s chest. Mikey pulled out a couple of his own light tubes, but his were separated. He slid into the ring and kept a hold of one light tube and dropped the other. Tommy bent down and picked up Havoc and held him. Whiplash lifted the light tube above his head and brought it down across Havoc’s skull. The tube shattered into Havoc’s hair and skin which caused some more blood to tickle out of Havoc. Tommy let go and Havoc dropped to the mat. Mikey walked back to the ropes and bent down and picked up the second light tube he brought out from under the ring. He picked it up and turned to Tommy and motioned him to bring Havoc over.
Mikey Whiplash: Bring his ass here!
Tommy bent down and grabbed Havoc’s hair and drug him over to Whiplash and dropped him at his feet. Mikey looked down and then handed off the light tube to Tommy.
Mikey Whiplash: You know what to do!
Tommy took the light tube and slid out of the ring. He stayed at the edge of the ring and he lifted the light tube and he held it up to the bottom rope. He held it tight against the rope as Mikey bent down and picked up Havoc’s head. He move Havoc’s body to the bottom rope. Mikey pulled back on Havoc’s hair.
Mikey Whiplash: Are you fucking hungry?!
Whiplash reached down and he pulled at Havoc’s nose which forced Jimmy to open his mouth. Whiplash took the opportunity and moved Havoc closer to the ropes and placed Havoc’s open mouth on the light tube. Mikey held Jimmy’s head on the tube and then let go and straightened up. Tommy let go of the light tube and grabbed a hold of Havoc’s ears and pulled them to hold Havoc on the light tube which was still held against the bottom rope. Whiplash looked out at the crowd and then down at Havoc. He grabbed a hold of the top rope and pushed himself up in the air. He dropped down and brought his foot down across the back of Havoc’s head. Havoc’s mouth pushed into the glass tube with force which caused the tube to shatter in Havoc’s mouth.
Mauro Ranallo: OH MY GOD!!!
EBWF Universe: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Mauro Ranallo: MIKEY WHIPLASH JUST STOMPED HAVOC’S MOUTH IN A LIGHT TUBE!!
Tommy released Havoc who screamed out in pain and grabbed at his mouth as he kicked his feet. Havoc spit out a few glass shards among blood. Whiplash bent down and he grabbed Havoc by the hair and pulled him up to his knees. He lift his knee and caught Havoc right in the jaw. Havoc fell backwards while Whiplash turned and walked over to the opposite side of the ring. He bent down and picked up the bundle of light tubes and smiled. Tommy slid back into the ring and he kicked Havoc in the side of the head to keep Havoc on the mat. Tommy reached down and he picked up both of Havoc’s legs and he held them open. Whiplash turned back to Havoc and he lifted the bundle of light tubes. With Havoc’s legs spread wide, Whiplash brought the five light tubes down across Havoc’s crotch. Havoc screamed out in agony as he grabbed for his crotch. Mikey and Tommy smiled as they stood above Havoc who cried out in pain.
Corey Graves: Well, I hope Jimmy Havoc didn’t want to have any kids, because now he won’t be able to.
Mauro Ranallo: I can’t believe what I’m seeing!!
Tommy walked to the ropes and dropped down and exited out under the ropes. He walked around the side of the ring and knelt down. Tommy took the table in his hands and opened up the legs. He flipped the table over and set it up against the edge of the ring. He looked into the ring at Whiplash and slammed his hand down on the table.
Tommy End: Break his fucking neck!!
Whiplash nodded and bent down. He grabbed Havoc by the hair once more and drug his body across the ring to where Tommy had the table set up. Whiplash climbed through the ropes and pulled Havoc through after. Whiplash stood on the apron with Havoc. He kicked Havoc in the midsection and then tucked his head between his legs.
Mauro Ranallo: He’s not really going to do this?!?!
Without any resistance from the beaten Havoc, Whiplash picked Havoc’s body up and jumped off the apron and drove Havoc, head first, through the table.
Mauro Ranallo: MAMMA MIA!!!
Corey Graves: PILEDRIVER THROUGH THE TABLE!!
Mauro Ranallo: Havoc’s neck has to be broken!!
Tommy pulled Whiplash out of the pile of broken wood and got him to his feet. He slapped him across the face as Whiplash grabbed at his ass. Jimmy Havoc laid motionless in the middle of the broken table. Whiplash could be heard as he screamed out.
Mikey Whiplash: I’ve got fuckin’ wood in my ass!!
Tommy shook his head and then he pointed off to the left. Whiplash turned his head and smiled as he saw what Tommy was pointing at. Tommy walked away from Whiplash and bent down. He stood back up and held up a piece of rope. Whiplash nodded as Tommy brought the noose over. He took it from Tommy and then turned to Jimmy Havoc who hadn’t moved an inch.
Mauro Ranallo: NO!! Someone needs to get out here!!
Corey Graves: I don’t normally agree with you Mauro, but this has gone too far.
Whiplash walked over to Havoc’s body and he bent down with the noose and he wrapped it around Havoc’s neck and tightened it. He grabbed a hold of the rope and he pulled Havoc out of the pile of wood. The EBWF Universe cringed as the saw the rope dig into the skin of Havoc’s neck. He passed by Tommy End with a smile on his face as he drug Havoc behind him. He round the ring and continued along as the crowd booed him at ringside. He held up his middle finger and stuck it in the faces of the EBWF Universe. Mikey continued to walk and rounded the other side of the ring. He walked in front of the commentary table. He looked into the eyes of Mauro and Corey.
Corey Graves: Come on man...
Mauro Ranallo: Stop this... He’s had enough!
Mikey Whiplash: I’ll tell you when he’s had enough!!
Whiplash laughed as he continued to walk. Jimmy grabbed at the noose as his body passed by the announcer’s table. He rounded the next side of the ring and continued along his path until he got to the steel steps. Tommy walked over and met him at the steps and Whiplash begun his ascent with Havoc in tow. Havoc’s body begun to raise, the noose still tight around his neck. Whiplash climbed into the ring and lifted the rope over the top rope. Jimmy reached up and pulled at the rope and tried to stop Whiplash, but Tommy spun around and connected the bottom of his foot to Havoc’s skull.
Mauro Ranallo: OWARI DEATH KICK!!!
Whiplash pulled on the rope and lifted Havoc up. He continued to pull as Jimmy Havoc’s feet begun to lift off the ground. Havoc stood on his tip toes for a few seconds before even those were lifted off the ground. Zahra slid into the ring and jumped to her feet. She reached into her pocket out a pair of zip ties. As Whiplash had Havoc lifted in the air, Zahra took Havoc’s wrist and outstretched his arm. She pulled it to her and zip tied Havoc’s wrist to the middle rope. She moved around Whiplash and took Havoc’s other wrist and pulled out the arm. She zip tied his second wrist just like the first. Whiplash smiled as he reached to the front and he pulled the noose off Jimmy’s neck. Whiplash took the rope and unleashed a few lashes to Havoc’s back before he dropped the rope. Zahra exited the ring once more and smiled as she looked up at Havoc.
Mauro Ranallo: JIMMY HAVOC IS BEING CRUCIFIED!!
Corey Graves: Someone needs to get out here..
Tommy grabbed the steps and he slid them over and tucked Havoc’s legs into the cut out for the ring post. He pushed the steps back and pinned Havoc’s legs against the apron. Havoc pulled at his wrists but could not move the ring rope. Tommy reached out and he grabbed a kendo stick off the apron and instantly swung at Havoc’s ribs over and over, ten lashes in total. Whiplash walked over to the other side of the ring and bent down. He tilted his head as he lifted up the steel rod that he pulled out from under the ring earlier. He looked back at Havoc and turned to him. He ran at Havoc and swung the steel rod and connect with Havoc’s bareback. Havoc screamed out as the steel connect with him. Tommy swung and nailed Havoc in the chest once more. Whiplash slid out of the ring and walked past Tommy.
Mauro Ranallo: These men are torturing the EBWF World Champion!!
Zahra walked up and she climbed up the steps. She got into Havoc’s face and she connected with a stiff right hand to his face. His head turned but then snapped it right around and looked her in the eyes.
Jimmy Havoc: FUCK YOU BITCH!!
Havoc spat blood in Zahra’s face. She glared at him and lifted up Jericho’s scarves and wiped the blood off her face. She shook her head and then balled up the scarves and shoved them in Jimmy’s mouth. She then lifted up her left hand which held the staple gun. She lifted it to Jimmy’s cheek and squeezed. Havoc’s muffled scream was heard as the staple dug into his cheek. She moved the gun over to his other cheek and squeezed again. Havoc screamed into the scarves once more as the second staple dug into his flesh. She gave him an evil look as she backed up momentarily. Havoc was able to close part of his fist and middle fingers up. Zahra looked at him and she shook her head again and reached up and grabbed Havoc’s wrist. She stuck the gun to Havoc’s palm and squeezed the gun once more. He screamed into the scarves as Zahra grabbed his other hand and put a staple in his other palm. Zahra then took the gun and she placed it against Havoc’s crotch.
Corey Graves: She wouldn’t...
Mauro Ranallo: NO!!
Zahra looked Havoc dead in the eye and held up her own middle finger in his face as she squeezed the staple gun, not once, not twice, but three times, pumping a staple into Havoc’s crotch with each squeeze. The crowd cringed as Jimmy closed his eyes and his muffled scream was heard louder than ever. Zahra smirked as she slid off the steel steps.
Mauro Ranallo: How has no one come out and stopped this!! Where’s security!! Where’s the police!! Where’s Wes Ikeda!!!
Corey Graves: Who’s to say they want to stop this?
Mauro Ranallo: What are you saying?!
Corey Graves: At this point, we don’t know who is Legion and who isn’t...
Havoc was trapped against the ring, the blood flowed down his face and his body, the zip ties dug into his wrists. Zahra stood back and looked over at Tommy with a smile on her face. He looked back at her with a nod. Whiplash walked over with the metal rod still in his hand. A loud bang was heard as he slammed the rod down on the steel steps. Whiplash climbed up the steps and he grabbed a handful of Havoc’s hair. He pulled his head back.
Mikey Whiplash: Time to die for your sins, Jimmy!!
Whiplash moved his hand on the rod and lifted it into the air. He jammed the end of the rod into Havoc’s skull and scrapped it across his forehead. Whiplash let go and hopped off the steps and looked over at Tommy. Whiplash held the rod in the air. Tommy walked over to the edge of the ring and he knelt down. He lifted the apron skirt up and reached under the ring. This time, Tommy pulled out a hand-held blow torch. Tommy stood up with the torch in hand. He turned the knob and lit a spark in front of the nozzle. The flame shot out from the blow torch as Tommy held it in the air.
Mauro Ranallo: What are they going to do with that!!
Whiplash brought the rod down and held it out to Tommy who brought the torch down and stuck part of the rod into the flame. The two men stood in front of each other as they heated up the one side of the rod. Zahra smiled as she looked at Tommy and Mikey. She then turned her attention to Havoc, whose eyes grew wide as he looked down at the rod in the flame.
Mauro Ranallo: This is going to be bad…
Corey Graves: Really, Mauro? I thought it was going to be something good... Seriously, when has Legion ever done anything that wasn’t horrible?
A few moments past while Mikey waited for the end of the rod to get red hot. Whiplash turned away from the flame and held the hot end of the rod away from him. He walked up to Jimmy Havoc and look at him. Havoc screamed at him and shook his head. The evil smile grew bigger on Whiplash’s face as he took the rod and he stuck the hot end of the rod against Havoc’s ribs. A gasp was heard through the arena as Havoc’s muffled screams filled the silence. He screamed as the rod burnt into his flesh. The EBWF Universe turned their heads away and covered their noses. Whiplash laughed as he removed the rod and moved it down slightly and stuck it to Havoc’s skin in a different spot. Havoc’s screams were heard once more, but a little fainter.
Mauro Ranallo: THEY’RE BRANDING HIM!!!
Corey Graves: Oh god... I can smell Jimmy’s flesh from here...
Tommy turned off the torch and set it down on the apron. He walked around the side of the ring past Whiplash and Havoc. He knelt down again and reached under the ring.
Corey Graves: How many things are under that ring?!
Tommy came back up and set a car battery down on the top step. Whiplash looked down and smiled. He took the rod off Jimmy’s ribs and set it down at his feet. He watched as Tommy pulled out a set of jumper cables from under the ring.
Corey Graves: Now why would someone need a car battery under the ring?!
Tommy took one end of the jumper cable and he attached the black clamp to the negative terminal. He then connected the red clamp to the positive side. He held up the other end of the jump cables up to Whiplash, who took them with a smile. Whiplash touched the two clamps together which caused a spark.
Mauro Ranallo: They’re not...
Whiplash turned to Havoc with an evil look in his eye.
Mikey Whiplash: SAY YOUR PRAYERS!!
Whiplash spat in Havoc’s face as he lifted the jumper cables and clamped them to Jimmy’s chest.
Mauro Ranallo: NO!!
Jimmy’s body reacted to the shock as he screamed into the gag. The EBWF Universe all let out a loud scream as they turned away once more. Whiplash laughed for few seconds before he unclamped the cables from Jimmy. He watched as Jimmy’s body went limp. Jimmy’s eyes shut but he opened them. He blinked a few times as he looked into the evil eyes of Mikey Whiplash. Whiplash connected the cables to Havoc’s skin again. Instantly Havoc’s body reacted and shook from the shock. Havoc screamed into the scarves again. Whiplash let it go on for a few seconds before he took the clamps off.
Mauro Ranallo: THEY’RE ELECTROCUTING HIM!!!
Corey Graves: SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET OUT HERE!!
Mauro Ranallo: THEY’RE KILLING HIM RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR EYES!!!
Legion laughed as they stood there and watched Havoc’s body continue to twitch in front of them. Havoc hung his head as his eyes closed again. Whiplash lifted Havoc’s chin and chuckled in his face.
Mikey Whiplash: SEE YOU IN HELL, MOTHER FUCKER!!
Mikey screamed into Havoc’s face as he clamped the jumper cable to Havoc once more, this time, to his crotch. Havoc’s body twitch as the electricity surged through his body. He screamed out for a few seconds. Whiplash laughed as he held the clamps in place. Jimmy’s head fell as his body went limp. Whiplash finally released the clamps from Havoc and just stared at the seemingly lifeless body before him.
Mauro Ranallo: HE’S DEAD!!! LEGION HAS KILLED JIMMY HAVOC!!!
Corey Graves: I...
Tommy outstretched his hand as he handed up a white mask. Whiplash took the mask and placed the mask onto Jimmy’s bloody face. Tommy then handed up a barbed wire crown. Whiplash took the crown and placed it on top of Havoc’s sunken head. Havoc was kept in place as he was bound at the wrist by the zip ties. Zahra walked up to the steps as the lights in the arena went out. Blackness filled the arena until a single dark red spotlight shined from ceiling. Zahra sat on the steps, flanked on both sides by Mikey Whiplash and Tommy End, who had jumped down next to her. Behind them, Jimmy Havoc’s motionless body, tied to the ring as though he had just been crucified. The blood flowed from his fresh burns. It flowed from the multiple staples in his body. It dripped down his body and onto the steel steps that kept him pinned.
Corey Graves: I… I don’t know what... I can’t.
Mauro Ranallo: Legion has just crucified our world champion!
Corey Graves: We need to get some help out here right now...
“Lost in the Static” blasted on the sound system as Legion all stood in front of the symbolic crucified Jimmy Havoc. The three laughed and smiled as they looked back at Havoc’s motionless body. The screen faded into static as Warfare went off the air.
