Cliff Morris - Hello, wrestling fans. Welcome to another exciting night of UWL Saturday Night from Ashville, North Carolina and the Harrah's Cherokee Center. Wrestling fans we have a exciting night of action as we're on the Road to Only the Strong Survive, March 20th from the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia. Joining me as always my tag team partner at the broadcast booth, Logan Acker.

Cliff Morris - Tonight we'll see UWL World Champion Casey Holliday team with Arch Stanton take on #1 contender for the UWL World Championship AJ Knight and United States Champion Emma Douglas. Also we're going to see a brutal main event. As, James Edwards takes on Billy Danielson in a dog collar chain match. This feud has been brewing to this moment and we're going to see the brutality taken to another level. We'll also see the return of Autumn Raven. A match that promises to be intense from the opening bell, Aiden Prince taking on Ryan Samuels. Jackson Burnside will battle, Lilith Rising and so much more.
Logan Acker - Tonight we'll separate the pretenders from the contenders. Tonight's match ups will see who is truly strong enough to survive.
Cliff Morris - Before we head up to the ring. Let's to some prerecorded comments from the Phoenix.
The picture cuts to the Phoenix, Bryan Moltres, Shawn Leland, Dave West, Jeremy Riggs and Matt Ryker standing in front of a group of locker backdrop.
Matt Ryker - Lauren Parker two weeks is all you have to stand alone. In two weeks after two of our brothers beat you and your so called meal ticket Robb Daniels at Championship Extravaganza we will cut you down and show you that you belong with us. Because all this time you've been wondering alone and where has that got you? Nowhere.
Matt looks down the line at the rest of the Phoenix.
Bryan Moltres - Lauren Parker has my brother said. You're alone no matter if. You're standing beside Robb Daniels or not. You're alone. Once we beat you and that has been, we'll be plus one in the membership department. It's not bragging it's a fact.
All the Phoenix members step forward together and stare into the camera.

Emily Lyle - The opening contest here at UWL Saturday Night is set for one fall with a fifteen minute time limit!
Cliff Morris - The Phoenix sound confident as they'll square off against Lauren Parker and Robb Daniels, February 13th at Championship Extravaganza. If The Phoenix win, Lauren Parker must join the Phoenix. If Lauren Parker and Robb Daniels win they'll get a shot at the UWL Tag Team Championship.
Logan Acker - The Phoenix are correct in their easement of Lauren Parker. She has wondered around UWL like a lost sheep. The Phoenix offered her a way and their going to take it, February 13th.
The video screen plays a scene of the Hollywood walk of fame going by slowly, the shadow of a raven seen over each and every star that’s there. As you hear the lyrics ‘Your stars burned out for good, somewhere in Hollywood’, the shadow flies into the one star without a name, writing out Autumn’s name on it, the star turning to a dingy, grungy picture with graffiti written all over it.
Emily Lyle - From St. Paul, Minnesota, one hundred and twenty five pounds, Autumn Raven!
As the first part of the song starts up, Autumn appears from backstage, slowly walking out, coming to a stop at the top of the ramp as she surveys the crowd with a cold smirk on her face. She stands there for a minute before making her way down the ramp slowly, walking once around the ring before sliding under the bottom rope and hopping to her feet, making her way to the corner to climb to the top ring post. She flings her arms out to the side, laughing at the crowd.
Cliff Morris - We're ready to kick off the action here at UWL Saturday Night. As, Autumn Raven makes her long awaited return to UWL. She has a tough challenge ahead of her as she takes on, Lauren Parker.
Logan Acker - Lauren Parker better worry about her upcoming match with the Phoenix because this is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things.
The bell sounds. They move from their corners moving into a collar and elbow tie up. They both try to gain the advantage, but neither will give an inch. Lauren slowly walks Autumn back into the ropes, the referee calls fro a break, Lauren leans up against Autumn, she is looking around, Lauren slowly steps back moving back across the ring. They circle one another slowly moving back into the collar and elbow tie up. Lauren moves around taking Autumn into a hammerlock moving around into a wristlock, she wrist her arm around. Autumn rolls forward onto the mat, she kicks up taking Lauren’s leg out from under her with a single leg takedown.

We come back with Lauren Parker standing in the back after her match.
Lauren Parker is standing in the hallway. She shakes her head.
Lauren: I'm going to keep this simple. There is no reason to keep things going. I have had The Phoenix keep coming out and being hypocritical idiots. Honestly, I could care less about some idiots who are trying to run things. People who are trying to be like other groups of the past. Honestly, it's a joke.
Lauren lightly laughs.
Lauren: They did throw down a challenge. Alright, I'll accept it, but with one change. If I win, Robb and I get a title shot. If I lose, I will walk away from UWL. I am not about to let a group like The Phoenix dictate my career like that. I lose, it shows I don't need to be here and they can honestly kiss my ass.
Lauren shrugs but walks away without saying anything more.
The camera moves from ringside to the catering room where Jake Mason walks in, but he doesn’t look like he is interested in food. Instead Mason makes his way over to the table where Ryan Samuels is taking a look at what is being offered this week. As Samuels reaches for a slice of turkey, Mason makes his way over to him.
Jake Mason: You shouldn’t eat before your match. Choking hazards from food are not useful as an excuse when you are choking on your pride.
Ryan doesn’t even bother to turn around to face Mason, he simply just grunts and takes a big bite of turkey.
Ryan Samuels (Mouth Full): Pride? What the hell are ya talkin’ about now, Mason? You and your damn magic tricks ain’t gonna scare me now, guy. I don’t know what you’re up to but being all spooky and what not isn’t gonna work on me. You are five kinds more crazier than my first wife and she was a whole lotta crazy. Stop ya mumblin’ about pride. “Thou shall not be prideful.” I ain’t in need of a bible lesson, son.
Jake Mason just gives a cocky smile.
Jake Mason: The Bible is but a construct written to keep the simple minded oppressed. Any fool should be capable of understanding that pride is a falsehood. You however are a man who needs physical evidence to have his misconceptions converted to truth. You don’t believe in my “magic tricks”? Magic is something you do to pick up your next traumatized date, Samuels. I only speak truths you are fortunate enough to gain an audience for. But since my words will only confuse you, allow me to save your life, rather introduce you to someone who will. A man in a red collared shirt and khaki pants will come through that door in a moment. That will be your savior for the day.
With those words Jake Mason just turns and starts to walk away. Ryan takes another big bite of turkey.
Ryan Samuels (Mouth Full): What the hell is the matter with… (coughs) with… (coughs)
Ryan starts to try and clear his throat but after a few seconds, it is apparent that he is choking. He starts to gasps for air and grabs at his throat. He looks around in a panic for something to help him. Suddenly a young man in a red collared shirt and khakis, a member of the catering staff, rushes through the door and up to Ryan.
Staff Member: Sir, are you choking?!
Ryan, even while choking, stops and stares at the young man. He gives him a solid up down and turns back towards where Mason left. He turns back to the staff member and has a shocked look on his face. After a second or two, Ryan snaps out of it and starts to panic again. He points to his throat as the young man quickly begins to apply the Heimlich maneuver. After a scary few seconds, a big chunk of turkey flies out of Ryan’s mouth and splats against the wall. The winded young man looks pleased with himself, saving someone’s life. Ryan, meanwhile, looks pissed and worried.
Ryan Samuels (Out of Breath): Wha… How did… What the hell is goin’ on here?
With that, Ryan suddenly spins around and smashes the young man with a big right hook that sends him straight into the concrete wall. The staff member slides down to the floor, knocked out from the attack by Samuels. Ryan, full of fury, storms off. Jake Mason appears back on the scene.
Jake Mason: That’s right my inbred little bull. Don’t think about what’s waiting behind the cape. Just run towards the red. Run towards your final days.

Combat boots thumping on the flooring. Loose fitting black trousers with a chain from the belt to a wallet. A Wendy O. Williams shirt and a black leather coat with patchwork. A soft face of subtle beauty beneath a green mohawk.
This is what the camera shows. Starting at the bottom and the camera pans up. She’s carrying a big black duffel bag slung over her left shoulder.
Abby Joseph: Rosie Sinn...right?
Rosie: That be me.
Abby: Can I ask a few questions?
Rosie: Normally, yeah, but sorry. Tonight I wanna save it for the ring. Excuse me though, I see someone I wanna introduce myself to.
Rosie smiles. She makes a B-line for the one and only Lilith Rising.
The camera shifts from Rosie to Lilith Rising, who’s leaning casually up against the wall talking with her manager, Sadie Graves, The voluptuous Salem native is clad in black leather pants and a white “Perfect Storm” tank with a black and red leather jacket thrown over her arm. She runs her fingers through her short blonde hair absently as the diminutive Sadie speaks.
Sadie Graves: I’m not sure about the new contacts, Lilith. I mean, you’re known for the natural yellow-green, not the white outs. It’s becoming a signature. Are you sure you wanna mess with-
Sadie pauses when she takes notice of Rosie’s approach, tilting her chin in her direction.
Sadie Graves: I believe you’ve got some fresh meat headed your way. Look..
Lilith raises a brow in curiosity and turns to see who Sadie is referring to. She takes note of the much smaller woman and smiles.
Lilith Rising: We’ll wrap this up later, Sadie. I believe things just got interesting…
Rosie gives a friendly smile.
Rosie: You’re Ramsey’s student, right?
Lilith crosses her arms under her ample bosom and gives Rosie a smirk.
Lilith Rising: Not just a student, Tiny. The favorite. His best creation to be exact. Lilith Rising, but you obviously know that and who, might I ask, are you?
Lilith looks her up and down condescendingly.
Lilith Rising: You his pet dwarf or something?
Rosie: (still smiling) I’m an old friend of Mike’s, Rosie Sinn. He sure didn’t teach ya any humility or people skills did he? But hey, anyone ever told you that size doesn’t always matter? I mean, you may be an Amazon, but I still remember sitting at home last week watching ya look at the rafters while the referee counted three...so there is that.
Lilith Rising: And you haven’t been paying attention around here obviously. I’ve been persecuted from the moment I walked in that door. It’s been blatantly obvious from the start. But as a daughter of Salem, I expect nothing less.
Lilith pushes herself off the wall, standing up to her full height. She looks down her nose at Rosie and laughs.
Lilith Rising: If you’re a friend of Mike’s, then my ego shouldn’t surprise you. I mean, I did learn from the best.
She takes her hand and places it on top of Rosie’s head and measures the difference between them. Lilith stifles a laugh when it only comes up to her bosom.
Lilith Rising: People skills are overrated. I’ll let you in on a little secret, shrimp. The only people that say size doesn’t matter are always the ones that have none to speak of. (she looks at her mohawk) I’ve gotta know, that’s why you grew that, right? To make it look like you’re tall enough for the rides, right?
Rosie:(laughing) Persecuted for being a daughter of Salem? Did your doctors not burst your bubble and tell you it’s 2021, not 1693. As for people skills, I guess you slept through the day in class when Mike taught you that in-ring talent can only get you so far...that to get over the hump, you need something called personality. Give it time, you’ll develop one hopefully.
Rosie starts to walk on, then stops.
Rosie: Oh, and short jokes..that don’t mean personality.
Sadie looks up at Lilith, noting how her expression has shifted from amusement to pure disgust and anger. She sighs and waves her hand towards Rosie in acceptance.
Sadie Graves: You might as well, I’d rather you not take this out on me. Lilith, if you will…
Lilith’s lips curl into a sadistic smile as she hands her jacket off.
Lilith Rising: Hold this for a second…
She takes off at a run, closing the distance quickly. Lilith levels Rosie from behind with a viscous clothesline which drops the new addition to the ground. Lilith mounts the fallen woman, rolling her over to face her and pinning her arms down with her knees. She grabs Rosie’s head and begins raining down hard rights in rapid succession, quickly taking the fire out of her. Lilith finally relents, pulling Rosie to her feet in unison with her own rising. She gives her one last look of disdain, holding her head in her hands before landing a devastating headbutt to Rosie’s nose. Lilith lets go, allowing her to slump to the floor and turns back to Sadie.
Lilith Rising: C’mon Graves, I’m done for now…
As the pair head off down the hall, the camera begins to shake before going black.

The lights dim with multiple spotlights crossing on the stage as Owen Daniels appears with a smug look on his face looking out at the fans. Daniels begins walking toward the ring.

When the music starts Justice Cross and Brianna Alvarez walk out from the back onto the ramp and continue down to the ring.

The feed transitions to a view of the backs of the Perfect Storm” Lilith Rising and her colorful manager Sadie Graves as they head down the hall only minutes after her run-in with Rosie Sinn. As the camera comes closer, the duo’s conversation can be heard.
Sadie Graves: You know that little gnat is going to be back, right? You can’t just break her nose and expect her not to want some retribution.
Lilith shrugs her shoulders nonchalantly.
Lilith Rising: And I care why? I’m gonna look forward to squashing her every chance I get.
Sadie laughs as they approach a familiar dressing room.
Sadie Graves: Well, let’s try and drag this one out, hmm? She could be fun…
Sadie leaves as Lilith opens the door to Jake Mason’s room.
Lilith Rising: Well, how’s my favorite prophet? (Pausing). Oh! That little issue I had last time with the cameraman?! I had management handle it. They’ve agreed to blur it out in non-match situations. Anyway...so what’s new?
Too deep in his thoughts, Jake Mason doesn’t even look at Lilith Rising. He just speaks.
Jake Mason: Have to figure out ramifications on actions to take place later tonight. To win or to lose? Where will the balance lie at the end of the day? Where will the morality of knowing take me?
Lilith walks fully in, shutting the door behind her and places her hands on her hips. She gives Jake a hard look and kicks his foot to get his attention.
Lilith Rising: Dude, that’s twice. If I didn’t like you, there’d be hell to pay for ignoring me - again. I’ve made space on my schedule each week to see you and you can’t be bothered?!
Lilith crosses her arms under her bosom and begins to pace.
Lilith Rising: And to think, I actually offered my help for your matches and apparently I’m not even here….go figure…
Jake Mason: You are what you feel you are. Yo if you feel you are present, then you are. If you feel that you are but wind passing through the world hoping to catch a leaf, then you are. Never forget you are in control of your you.
Lilith Rising: What I am is pure awesomeness but that’s not the point. What I’m saying is, I thought we were friends - partners - ya know? I thought when I offered you my expertise, you woulda got that. You’re the only person I come to talk to - outside of Sadie of course, but I can only tolerate her for so long. If I’m bothering you, just say the word, Jake.
Jake Mason: You are not a bother. You are a welcomed consort in a time when my mind needs to stay localized. Too often it finds itself wondering to times it’s not welcome.
She finally smiles a broad and genuine smile at him as she relaxes her stance.
Lilith Rising: That’s better. Now I can tell you all about the little miniature wrestler I taught a lesson to…
She pauses briefly and furrows her brow as if she’s forgotten something. Finally, a look of realization dawns on.
Lilith Rising: I’ll get back to that but it just occurred to me that I’ve got a match with Burn-something. Ya know, the one who watched too many Hulk Hogan promos? After losing to AJ last time, I really need to smoke this guy, you know?
Jake Mason: Then you should light him on fire. Blame it on Jessie Roberts. Her spirit has no future. She may already be in the gutter begging for scraps. No matter the culprit convicted , the victim is still just an afterthought in the minds of the known.
Lilith laughs at the thought.
Lilith Rising: Like anyone would believe that inept, little idiot could think that up much less pull it off. I mean, I’m a one woman wrecking crew - compared to me, she’s nothing. And I mean nothing. But forget about her, focus on whatever his name is that I face tonight. I can’t literally light him up but I need a plan. Any other ideas?
Jake Mason: Believe in yourself, and the rest will be but a play. If that doesn’t work you could always kick him below the belt. Either way it should result in a win.
Lilith Rising: True - you’ve got a good point. So….Kalidah?
Jake Mason: Is an illusion to a problem that one must find the answers to? For now we can only watch and observe the creature, and hope to exploit its weakness.
Lilith Rising: Crazy and delusional are weaknesses, right? Seems easy enough to exploit to me. That’s never a good combination though. Watch yourself out there.
She looks to the floor for a moment before returning a rather excited expression to Mason.
Lilith Rising: I forgot to finish my story! Suffice it to say, I believe I’ve found a replacement for Roberts. I mean, she looks like she belongs to the ACLU but I think I’ll make an exception this time. Besides, when I’m through with her, we can always have ourselves a midget toss! You in?
Jake Mason: Indeed. It will be nice to have something to break my locked focus on the future.
Lilith smiles broadly, nodding her head as she heads to the door.
Lilith Rising: Then it’s a plan. Can’t have you all morose over the future anymore. We’ll deal with tonight - I’ll crush my new bug - and then it’s time for some fun that the censors will hate!
As she crosses the threshold, her voice is trailing off.
Lilith Rising: I wonder how bad I broke her nose? Not nearly enough blood….

Arch Stanton sits in a hallway backstage at the Cherokee Center, hunkered down on a wooden stool. He just finishes tying his boots when Jackson Burnside shouts down the hall to him.
Jackson:
You’re in the wrong hallway, you fat prick!
Stanton turns in surprise. He quickly turns livid.
Arch:
Hey, mother*cker! Are you talkin’ to ME like that?
Stanton stands up tall. Burnside stomps up to him, practically chest-to-chest.
Jackson:
You’re RIGHT I am!
A few backstage officials gather around after the shouting. Both men keep their intensity, but back off a few feet to satisfy the officials.
Arch:
Alright, cool it. We both have other fish to fry tonight, yeah? I’ll clean up yer little mess, Jack. I saw Emma bust up yer nose last week . Tonight, I’ll show you how to take care of a champion…
Emma Douglas appears from a nearby doorway, United States Title over her shoulder. She acts impressed, having overheard.
Emma:
Is that so? How do you know you won’t be even less successful? You can both talk all you want, but you’re not so tough. I’d love to stomp both of you, but what makes you think either of you deserves another shot at me OR my title?
Jackson:
We have some serious unfinished business, you and me. I’m ready any time, sister! Besides, the cream rises to the top – I’ll get a shot at any title I want, baby. If you think you’re outta my league, you’re DREAMING! You have a rude awakening coming your way!
Arch:
Yer BOTH dreamin’! Am I supposed to stand idly by? Jackson couldn’t get it done. I’ll bet I could do better. Yer always back here since The Rumble sayin’ how you’d like to get yer hands on me, an’ break my bones an’ all that. Let’s TANGLE, honey – we got a chance tonight!
Emma:
(imitating both) By gawd – I rootin’, tootin’ like to hurt people, daddy! You better look out there, missy! I’m baaad, man!
Emma rolls her eyes.
Emma:
Please! You both know perfectly well that I’m the United States Champion for a reason. You also know that neither one of you have what it takes to hold this gold. Huff and puff and put on your tough-guy act – but you KNOW you’re not good enough.
Jackson:
Look – you’re lucky we didn’t settle things last week, sister! You’re lucky we got pulled apart. I was mad enough to be dangerous, and…
Emma:
Hey - ask Anthony Cross if I’m dangerous. Ask anyone else who gets in my way. If you two clowns don’t sober up, you’ll find out for yourselves.
Arch barks at Emma, trying to shout her down. She doesn’t flinch.
Arch:
I AIM to, Emma! I aim to find out. You wanna smarten me up? Teach me somethin’ tonight! We both have partners – GOOD ones – and they won’t be standin’ in the way. They’re sure to dial us both right up to 11, an’ THEN we’ll see how BAD we can be.
Emma:
You think you can still turn it up that high? We won’t have all night. Aren’t you tired of ending up on your back, Arch? Do you want it to happen here in Ashville, too?
Arch:
Well, it seems to me that I’ve beaten you before, Emma…
Jackson:
... and I've beaten YOU before, Arch.
Arch:
… which brings me to my point. There are some things that aren’t solved with a quick count. Jackson held me down long enough, but I’m still walkin’ tall. Emma went down before, but she’s a goddamn champ-EEN. There are things brewin’ between us that won’t be solved so easy. There are wins an’ losses that won’t have nothin’ to do with the record books…
Emma:
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’ll beat you both a HUNDRED TIMES if it’ll make you feel better.
Stanton, hands on hips, turns and looks at Emma. His eyes sparkle and a twisted grin spreads across his grizzled face. He chuckles.
Arch:
Ha! It might, Miss Emma It might…
Stanton turns and saunters down the hall, leaving Emma and Jackson Officials inch closer, trying to get between them before anything else happens.
Emma:
And, as for YOU – pay attention to what I do to that stupid son of a b*tch out there. You think we have something to settle? You might be unlucky enough to get your wish.
Jackson stares daggers at Emma while she goes back into her dressing room and closes the door.
Cliff Morris: A lot to be settled between these three!
Logan Acker: It looks like they’ve each made two dangerous enemies!

Aiden Prince is alone, sans his bodyguard and his intern. He’s already dressed in his wrestling gear, along with another new t-shirt that advertises him as the “Next UWL Television Champion. Aiden is all smiles as he stands next to Abby Joseph.
Aiden Prince: You know what, Abby, you’re welcome for last week. And you’re welcome because despite you’re inappropriate gawking, last week was a landmark for me that has me in a good mood.
Abby Joseph: About last weeks match.
Aiden interrupts.
Aiden Prince: Pretty genius, wasn’t it?
Abby Joseph: Actually, cowardly was the word I was looking for.
Aiden Prince: Cowardly? First you strip me with your eyeballs then you insult me? What I did was genius. You’re just pissed because I’m right.
Abby Joseph: How are you right?
Aiden Prince: I told you two weeks ago I am more than just a pretty face, a great body, charismatic, and a phenomenal athlete. I’m also a great mind. Sure, I could’ve won last week and earned my title shot, but then where’s the payoff match? Instead I used the rules to my advantage, got my title shot, and protected the champion in the process. I mean, I need people to actually believe, as ill conceived as it is, that Kalidah stands a chance. It draws more interest.
The lights around them begin to flicker and someone starts chuckling behind Prince.
Eli Buchanan: This that what you were doing? And here I thought you were training for a marathon.
Aiden looks at him confused.
Aiden Prince: I’m sorry, but if you’re a fan of mine you’ll need to go through my intern, and not interrupt my interview. Does security know you snuck back here?
The lights continue to flicker and Eli looks around with a chuckle.
Eli Buchanan: Oh you can say that security knows all about me. As for your intern, he said I could come talk with you right now. At least I think that’s what he meant, it was hard to tell since he was running in the way from me at the time. Seemed like a nice kid, even if he doesn’t seem very reliable.
Aiden Prince: Someone needs to call an electrician. Hey, look, just gimme a marker, and whatever you want me to autograph and get on your way. And I’m the future, don’t scare my intern away.
He looks at Abby.
Aiden Prince: Really, who is this guy?
Eli Buchanan: Oh how rude of me. My name is Eli Buchanan, owner and proprietor of the Hotel California. Such a lovely place. And you, Aiden Prince aren’t half as smart as I thought you were.
The lights flicker again and Kalidah is standing in his place for the briefest of seconds before Eli returns.
Aiden swallows hard, then recovers.
Aiden Prince: That’s...what...are you two the same person? Is that’s what going on here? I mean, if it’s, I get it. I’d wear a mask to hide that, too.
Eli laughs.
Eli: Well my wife didn’t marry me for my good looks, that’s for sure, but that’s besides the point. I come bearing a warning from Kalidah. Next time you two meet, you better not stop running.
Aiden Prince: Run? Ha! I didn’t run. I outsmarted him, and did “you both” a favor. You’re welcome.
Eli laughs.
Eli Buchanan: Did you now? Well maybe you did do him a favor.
He gets right up in Aiden’s face.
Eli Buchanan: Because when you get your Television Title match, you won’t have the option of running. Titles can only be won inside the ring, which means when Kalidah gets his hands on you, and mark my words, he will get his hands on you, he will rip that tongue of yours out of your mouth just for giggles.
Aiden laughs.
Aiden Prince: Funny, because to be such a scary man, and me to be the so called coward, it sure looks like I’m the one standing here, while the masked freak is nowhere to be seen with what will soon be
my title. So you’ll have to excuse me if I wait to shake in my boots.
Eli smiles.
Eli Buchanan: I’m so glad to think that, but perhaps you’d like to tell him that yourself.
The lights go out and Eli disappears.
Aiden Prince: So both are cowards. I always thought the idea of split personality is one made up for another’s shortcomings.
He shrugs at Abby.
Aiden Prince: Of course, I’d run from me, too. After all, I am the Featured Attraction.
He turns around and Kalidah is standing there, blocking his path. The beast of Hotel California tackles him to the floor and begins attacking him with elbow strikes to the face. Not done yet, Kalidah picks Aiden up and belly to belly suplexes him right through the wall.
Officials and security rush in to check on Prince. There’s a laugh off camera and as it pans around, Eli Buchanan once again stands there. He shakes his head.
“Oh boy! They really don’t make walls like they used to.”
The lights flash and Eli disappears.

“It's My Life” by Plasmatics queues up. The crowd in the know from her previous endeavors jump to their feet in rabid applause. ‘Queen of Punk’ Rosie Sinn dashes through the curtain. Rosie’s bottom half of her face is painted crimson from the blood of a broken nose at the hand of Lilith Rising from earlier in the night. Ignoring the crowd, the normally charismatic Rosie appears all business when she climbs into the ring and demands a microphone.
She stares long and hard at the crowd.
Rosie: Ya know, I had this all played out in my head. I’d come out here, call you the wrong city, get a comedy pop. I was gonna talk about how everyone does the same basic introduction about how they plan to do this and that while putting the crowd to sleep with repetitiveness. Then, this happened.
She grabs the nearby camera and pulls it close to her bloodied face.
Rosie: So I’m sorry if I’m not ray of BLEEPing sunshine here. I try to come in, I try to make an introduction to a rookie in this industry and what do I get? (She licks the blood). This!! Now I’m not upset about the broken nose or the blood. Hell, I made my bones in this business. But what I’m pissed about is how it happened. Miss Rising, you want to claim persecution, persecution is the least of your worries. I’m coming for you...and that...that’s punk!!
Rosie slams the mic down on the mat.

The scene cuts in on UWL World Champion Casey Holliday in the center of the ring. While she was in a better mood two weeks ago, this time, she’s not in the best mood at all this time around. She’s getting a strong reception from the audience as she normally does and while she isn’t showing any ounce of a wavered confidence whatsoever, she’s certainly not in the brightest mood as she begins to express her thoughts.
Casey Holliday: Ever since I won this world championship, the haters have come out of the woodwork. That’s part of the business, I get it. I’m no dunce despite what some people on this roster may have you to believe. These haters think they can talk about me as if they actually matter which… let’s be honest… the only reason why some of them feel the need to talk about me when they are so far beneath my level that they barely register on my radar is because nothing that they do actually matters. If it actually DID matter, they’d let whatever they do in this ring do the talking but nah, you gotta aim for the best right? Hey, fair game! When you’re on top, the target is on your back.
It hasn’t been peachy and believe me, some of the shit that the likes of Billy Danielson and AJ Knight have had to say hasn’t rolled off of my back all that smoothly at times to be honest. But again, that’s the nature of the beast. That kind of stuff? I can at least take it in stride for the most part. But stuff like what I’m about to show you? Well… take a look for yourselves…
Casey takes a pause as the scene cuts to the events of last show’s main event between Casey and Billy Danielson, with all of the “glory” of the involvement of James Edwards. Once the scene comes back to Casey at ringside, her annoyance on her face is very loud and clear.
Casey Holliday: Look, scoring a win over Billy Danielson is nice and everything… but I did NOT want to win against him under THOSE circumstances! That type of BULLSHIT is NOT why I won this championship! I won this championship to be THE leader of a new generation and to show the world that the old ways of doing things in UWL are OVER! I’ve NEVER needed ANYONE’S help to win ANY match against ANYONE and GOD, I would’ve LOVED to have silenced Billy Danielson and shoved his own, empty pathetic words down his throat since he’s so high and mighty on his non-existent throne that he thinks I’m just some, fluke, one-hit wonder Cinderella champion… which I’m NOT! Of course, he’s so caught up in his own bullshit that he didn’t even bother to notice anything outside of his own world. This shit with the Franchise… oh they do their thing in Mainstream… but they don’t get to dominate THIS company… not while I have a say in it. Unfortunately, because of James Edwards and HIS dumbass, little Billy Danielson gets a “Get out of Jail Free” excuse to keep talking the shit that he’s been talking about me!
Oh wait… let’s not get carried away here. We HAVE to mention AJ Knight because if I DON’T… OH MY GOD, SHE’S IGNORING ME!
Casey pauses to roll her eyes, clearly showing that she has little tolerance for AJ’s attention whore antics.
Casey Holliday: You want to act like the spotlight should ALWAYS be on you, AJ? Tell me… what have you DONE in UWL to even be noticed at all? Blow big match opportunity after big match opportunity? You couldn’t beat Robb Daniels. But I DID! You couldn’t win the Coronation Cup. But I DID! You want to act like I’ve always HAD to pay attention to you ever since you got here? Why? Because you’re AJ Knight? Please! While you’re busy blowing big match after bitch match in UWL… until the rumble anyway… I was focused on… you know… IMPORTANT things like… once more with FEELING: the Coronation Cup and Robb Daniels! Not to say that you aren’t important NOW, not to say that you aren’t good at what you do because you are and you wouldn’t have won the rumble to get your title shot against me if you weren’t… but YOU think all of the spotlight should be on YOU and that YOU should be the leader of a new generation here in UWL?
Let me ask you this, AJ…
How the HELL can you be a leader of a new generation when you’re not even the leader of the Franchise? How the HELL can you be UWL World Champion when Billy Danielson is CLEARLY your better half? He drew attention with his open challenge. He’s in the main event tonight.
IN before you blame that on me.
IN before you begin whining about what I’m saying about you when you spent weeks whining about me ‘ignoring you’.
Well tonight? You WILL have my attention… and I’m going to make you REGRET ever wanting it! So there’s your food for thought, you attention whore, son of a bitch! This is your chance to show that you really DO deserve that attention you’re CLEARLY addicted to!
But like you do more often than not… you’re going to fall JUST a little bit short!
Casey delivers a sarcastic wink, showcasing her confidence. The audience of course, eats it up as she exits the ring and raises the world title over her head once she makes her way to the back.

Emily Lyle - The following contest is set for one fall with a fifteen minute time limit!
The lights in the arena flicker and strobe madly as "Superbeast" plays throughout the arena. The lights focus down on the entrance as Jackson Burnside steps out from the back looking manic, shaking his arms wildly up as his chest with a crazed look in his eyes.
Emily Lyle - "Hailing from the Windy City and standing six-five and weighing in tonight at two-hundred and ninty-six pounds, Jackson Buuuuurnsiiiiiide!"
Jackson bounces back and forth a few times on his heels and then without any fanfair the lights turn on and he sprints straight down to the ring. He slides under the bottom rope and covers an impressive distance, popping up at the center of the canvas with his hands raised high in the air. He approaches the ropes and grasps the top in both hands. He violently shakes the ropes and stops his feet repeatedly. The ropes continue to shake violent even after he releases them, and Jackson Burnside continues to hype himself up as he waits.
The lights go down as "Judas" by Septogram plays over the PA system. The lyrics "You are beautiful on the inside, you are innocence personified." are the first words heard and at that time, a strobe light effect with a red hue highlights the walkway.
“Parasite” by Ded begins to play over the PA system. The heavy drumbeats resound, accompanied by lightning fast guitar riffs. The dark, growling voice breaks in..
“What’s yours is mine...And what’s mine is mine.
You’re divine so tonight we dine.
I’ll suck the life from you.
It’s all that I do."
The normal white lights throughout the arena suddenly go out, replaced slowly by blood red lights all along the ramp and stage. A cloud of fog rolls across the stage, making it almost impossible to see anything.
When the verse
“You’ll bow down to the terror waiting for you “
plays, a tall silhouette is seen emerging from the fog. Lilith steps forward, her eyes scanning the crowd as a look of condescension spreads across her face.
“Insatiable in every way...there’s nothing stopping me...”
accompanies her long strides down the ramp. She leaps up to the ring apron and steps through the ropes as her music fades.
Emily Lyle - From Salem, Massachusetts, weighing one hundred and forty pounds, Lilith Rising!!
“Skeleton Key” plays over the PA system and we hear these words open the song...
"In another life, another place... there was a shadow without a face.
I could see... the survivors, were few...
Memories to which I cling, things I do and songs I sing...
They all... bring me back, to you..."
Cliff Morris - We're about to see the true measurement of a size disadvantage. As, Jackson Burnside takes on Lilith Rising.
Logan Acker - Lilith Rising will show Jackson Burnside what it means to be have speed over size advantage.
The bell sounds. They move from their corners. Burnside goes to grab Rising. She dodges out of the way nailing Burnside with a dropkick to his knee. Burnside sits on one knee looking back at Rising. He slowly rises to his feet, as they lock back up. Rising takes Burnside into a side headlock into a go behind into a hammerlock. Burnside manages to get into the ropes causing a break. Rising steps back breaking the hold. Burnside turns, they circle one another. Burnside goes for a knuckle lock, he holds his hands up wanting a knuckle lock. Rising walks toward Burnside going for the knuckle lock. Burnside breaks the hold, he takes Rising around into a wristlock. Burnside twist her arm around, as Rising grimaces in pain.
Cliff Morris - Burnside twist around on Lilith Rising's arm as she grimaces in pain.
Logan Acker - Lilith Rising doesn't know the meaning of the word pain.
Rising reverses the wrist lock taking Burnside into a wristlock. She twist Burnside arm around, as he drops to one knee grimacing in pain. Burnside comes up to his feet, he manages to lift Rising up throwing her down with a bodyslam.
Cliff Morris - Down goes Lilith Rising with a huge bodyslam.
Burnside reaches around taking Rising around snapping her down with a snapmare. Burnside sends Rising into the ropes, she runs off the ropes, Burnside nails her with a back elbow. Burnside lands a stiff punch, which stuns Rising. Burnside grabs Rising snapping her back over with a snapmare into a rear chinlock. Burnside locks his arms tight around Rising’s head.
Cliff Morris - Burnside has Lilith Rising locked up with nowhere to go as he has that chin lock locked on.
Logan Acker - You think you're funny putting Lilith Rising down just because she's not in the advantage.
They return to their feet, Rising sends Burnside off into the ropes. Burnside runs off the ropes running back at Rising hitting her with a shoulder block. Burnside turns running back off the ropes. Burnside runs off the ropes, he runs back at Rising, she leapfrogs over him, as Burnside returns back into the ropes. He runs back at Rising, she monkey flips him over onto the mat. They both return to their feet, Rising nails him with a leg lariat. Rising nails Burnside with a spinning back kick, which sends him down to the mat. Burnside rises up to his feet. Rising nails him with a standing dropkick. He falls over the top rope. As, he falls over the ropes, he slams his face off the ring apron falling to the floor.
Cliff Morris - Jackson Burnside's face smacked off the ring apron as he collapsed to the floor.
The referee slides out checking on Burnside. He signals for the bell.
Cliff Morris - Jackson Burnside is knocked out after being sent out to the floor!
Emily Lyle - The winner of this match Lilith Rising!
The show cuts to a break.

The scene opens up inside an empty dark high school football field. The lights are off and the stillness can be felt through the field. Walking around the quiet field is none other than the Midwest Nightmare, Ryan Samuels. Dressed in a pair of wrangler jeans, white t-shirt and his trusted black cowboy hat, Ryan is pacing around. He takes in the emptiness before he begins to speak.
RYAN SAMUELS: When I was in high school, I done did played football for my school and I was damn proud to do so. I worked hard to be the best damn football player in all of Kansas. Each morning I'd wake up and run a mile or so then get back home and get ready for school. After school, it was practice time and hot damn, those practices would probably break most folks. You'd done did push yourself physically and mentally to the point of near breakdown each and every day. But that's what you did if you wanted to be the best. Now, I took that mentality and done followed it as a professional wrestler. I push myself and test myself each and every day cause I want to be the best. I ain't settlin' for second place here. That just won't cut it for me, no sir. That's something my opponent Aiden Prince and I have in common. He wants to be the best and is willing to do what he has to do in order to get the win and be the best. The big difference between the two of us is that, unlike Aiden, I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Shit, we didn't even have metal spoons in my house. We were old school and used wooden spoons. Prince, you have had the world handed to you without fuss or much of a fight. You demand and you get. That kinda world must be nice to live in for sure. The thing is that your little world of demand and special treatment is about to come crashin' down. You are about to step into the ring with the Midwest Nightmare, son. You are gonna have to put up or shut up cause I ain't no pushover. You take that damn silver spoon and start diggin' your grave cause I am about to open up a world of pain and sufferin' on you.
Ryan walks over to the goal post and leans against it as he looks over the vast empty field.
RYAN SAMUELS: Now, don't think I done did forgot about you, Jake Mason. You and your weirdo magic tricks ain't impressin' no one. I'm a man who lives in reality and doesn't care about spooky tricks and illusions. Magic is all fun and games when you're twelve, Jake. It's time to grow the hell up and pull your head outta your ass, son. I don't want to see your face around, got it? If you keep on pushin' me, I'm gonna fire back and I promise you that you will be very unhappy with that. It's time that the UWL and it's moronic fans get themselves ready for the Midwest Nightmare. I'm the next big thing around here and you better recognize that fact.
The cameras cut back to ringside as Ryan begins to walk off the football field, laughing to himself.
RYAN SAMUELS: Time to put on a god damn show! HOT DAMN!

The audience at home is transported to Hotel California, where Eli Buchanan is leading a yoga class. He notices the viewers watching and waves.
“Nomaste, and welcome back to the Hotel California. It’s such a lovely place. Today I thought it would be a good idea if myself and the guests came outside and did a bit of yoga to help find inner peace.”
He points to many of the hotel’s residents, who are currently all in the “Plank Pose”. One of them is unable to hold the position for long and cries out as he falls over. Everyone around him stops and looks at him, then back at Eli. Eli lets out a sigh and shakes his head.
“Hey don’t worry, pal. Yoga can be really hard at first, so maybe you need a hand over there.”
He turns to look at the Well of Despair and whistles.
“Hey Nizbel! Azalo! Can you give this gentleman a hand with his yoga.”
The two members of the Herkmen come climbing out of the well and crawl over to the man. They each grab one of his arms and drag him off camera as he cries out for fear and pleads for mercy. Eli watches them take him away and laughs.
“Aren’t those two just a couple of swell guys. I bet that gentleman gets the plank pose perfected in no time.”
The man starts screaming loudly off camera, but Eli ignores him and continues talking to the camera.
“I’ve been told tonight Kalidah takes you, Jake Mason. I was really excited about this because I thought for a minute you were related to Perry Mason, which would have been awesome since Uncle Brute and I used to reruns of his show when I was a kid. Then Lotte told me you weren’t, because Perry Mason is just a fictional character. That made me a bit sad actually, but when I went looking for your bio I couldn’t find it, so for all I know you really are related to him somehow!”
The man screams again but Eli takes no notice of him.
“Now Jake, if that’s really your name, you might think because we can’t find anything out about you that you have some sort of advantage against Kalidah. If so, you are sadly wrong, my friend. You see, Kalidah doesn’t care what you’ve done, or where you’ve been, all he cares about is that when you get in the ring with him, you have become the hunted. So I encourage you to bring your A-Game, Perry…, I mean, Jake, because you are going to need everything you have in your mystery arsenal to stand a fighting chance against him.”
The man stops screaming and Eli turns to look. He groans and facepalms himself.
“No, no, no, you still aren’t getting it. Nizbel, Azalo, I thought you two knew what you were doing!”
The camera pans around and we see that the man has been bent backwards in half, his head touching his ass. His back is clearly broken and he is convulsing. The Herkmen are crawling around him and giggling menacingly. They grab the man and drag his body off to the well and the camera wisely turns back to Eli. He shrugs and lets out a long sigh.
“We lose more guests that way.”
He starts laughing, first quietly but then more loudly and it grows manic. The sky behind him grows dark and the guests run inside as it starts to rain. Eli doesn’t seem to notice it and he laughs even louder, his face twisting into an evil grin.
Without warning, lightning strikes him and everything goes dark. Voices scream in surprise, then everything goes quiet. After a moment, a match is lit and Kalidah is standing there, surrounded by Lotte, the Herkmen and several others, all wearing white masks. Kalidah lunges at the screen and roars, “RUN!”

Cliff Morris - Tonight we'll see UWL World Champion Casey Holliday team with Arch Stanton take on #1 contender for the UWL World Championship AJ Knight and United States Champion Emma Douglas. Also we're going to see a brutal main event. As, James Edwards takes on Billy Danielson in a dog collar chain match. This feud has been brewing to this moment and we're going to see the brutality taken to another level. We'll also see the return of Autumn Raven. A match that promises to be intense from the opening bell, Aiden Prince taking on Ryan Samuels. Jackson Burnside will battle, Lilith Rising and so much more.
Logan Acker - Tonight we'll separate the pretenders from the contenders. Tonight's match ups will see who is truly strong enough to survive.
Cliff Morris - Before we head up to the ring. Let's to some prerecorded comments from the Phoenix.
The picture cuts to the Phoenix, Bryan Moltres, Shawn Leland, Dave West, Jeremy Riggs and Matt Ryker standing in front of a group of locker backdrop.
Matt Ryker - Lauren Parker two weeks is all you have to stand alone. In two weeks after two of our brothers beat you and your so called meal ticket Robb Daniels at Championship Extravaganza we will cut you down and show you that you belong with us. Because all this time you've been wondering alone and where has that got you? Nowhere.
Matt looks down the line at the rest of the Phoenix.
Bryan Moltres - Lauren Parker has my brother said. You're alone no matter if. You're standing beside Robb Daniels or not. You're alone. Once we beat you and that has been, we'll be plus one in the membership department. It's not bragging it's a fact.
All the Phoenix members step forward together and stare into the camera.
The picture cuts up to the ring.

Emily Lyle - The opening contest here at UWL Saturday Night is set for one fall with a fifteen minute time limit!
Cliff Morris - The Phoenix sound confident as they'll square off against Lauren Parker and Robb Daniels, February 13th at Championship Extravaganza. If The Phoenix win, Lauren Parker must join the Phoenix. If Lauren Parker and Robb Daniels win they'll get a shot at the UWL Tag Team Championship.
Logan Acker - The Phoenix are correct in their easement of Lauren Parker. She has wondered around UWL like a lost sheep. The Phoenix offered her a way and their going to take it, February 13th.
The video screen plays a scene of the Hollywood walk of fame going by slowly, the shadow of a raven seen over each and every star that’s there. As you hear the lyrics ‘Your stars burned out for good, somewhere in Hollywood’, the shadow flies into the one star without a name, writing out Autumn’s name on it, the star turning to a dingy, grungy picture with graffiti written all over it.
Emily Lyle - From St. Paul, Minnesota, one hundred and twenty five pounds, Autumn Raven!
As the first part of the song starts up, Autumn appears from backstage, slowly walking out, coming to a stop at the top of the ramp as she surveys the crowd with a cold smirk on her face. She stands there for a minute before making her way down the ramp slowly, walking once around the ring before sliding under the bottom rope and hopping to her feet, making her way to the corner to climb to the top ring post.

Logan Acker - Lauren Parker better worry about her upcoming match with the Phoenix because this is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things.
The bell sounds. They move from their corners moving into a collar and elbow tie up. They both try to gain the advantage, but neither will give an inch.

We come back with Lauren Parker standing in the back after her match.
Lauren Parker is standing in the hallway. She shakes her head.
Lauren: I'm going to keep this simple. There is no reason to keep things going. I have had The Phoenix keep coming out and being hypocritical idiots. Honestly, I could care less about some idiots who are trying to run things. People who are trying to be like other groups of the past. Honestly, it's a joke.
Lauren lightly laughs.
Lauren: They did throw down a challenge. Alright, I'll accept it, but with one change. If I win, Robb and I get a title shot. If I lose, I will walk away from UWL. I am not about to let a group like The Phoenix dictate my career like that. I lose, it shows I don't need to be here and they can honestly kiss my ass.
Lauren shrugs but walks away without saying anything more.
The camera moves from ringside to the catering room where Jake Mason walks in, but he doesn’t look like he is interested in food. Instead Mason makes his way over to the table where Ryan Samuels is taking a look at what is being offered this week. As Samuels reaches for a slice of turkey, Mason makes his way over to him.
Jake Mason: You shouldn’t eat before your match. Choking hazards from food are not useful as an excuse when you are choking on your pride.
Ryan doesn’t even bother to turn around to face Mason, he simply just grunts and takes a big bite of turkey.
Ryan Samuels (Mouth Full): Pride? What the hell are ya talkin’ about now, Mason? You and your damn magic tricks ain’t gonna scare me now, guy. I don’t know what you’re up to but being all spooky and what not isn’t gonna work on me. You are five kinds more crazier than my first wife and she was a whole lotta crazy. Stop ya mumblin’ about pride. “Thou shall not be prideful.” I ain’t in need of a bible lesson, son.
Jake Mason just gives a cocky smile.
Jake Mason: The Bible is but a construct written to keep the simple minded oppressed. Any fool should be capable of understanding that pride is a falsehood. You however are a man who needs physical evidence to have his misconceptions converted to truth. You don’t believe in my “magic tricks”? Magic is something you do to pick up your next traumatized date, Samuels. I only speak truths you are fortunate enough to gain an audience for. But since my words will only confuse you, allow me to save your life, rather introduce you to someone who will. A man in a red collared shirt and khaki pants will come through that door in a moment. That will be your savior for the day.
With those words Jake Mason just turns and starts to walk away. Ryan takes another big bite of turkey.
Ryan Samuels (Mouth Full): What the hell is the matter with… (coughs) with… (coughs)
Ryan starts to try and clear his throat but after a few seconds, it is apparent that he is choking. He starts to gasps for air and grabs at his throat. He looks around in a panic for something to help him. Suddenly a young man in a red collared shirt and khakis, a member of the catering staff, rushes through the door and up to Ryan.
Staff Member: Sir, are you choking?!
Ryan, even while choking, stops and stares at the young man. He gives him a solid up down and turns back towards where Mason left. He turns back to the staff member and has a shocked look on his face. After a second or two, Ryan snaps out of it and starts to panic again. He points to his throat as the young man quickly begins to apply the Heimlich maneuver. After a scary few seconds, a big chunk of turkey flies out of Ryan’s mouth and splats against the wall. The winded young man looks pleased with himself, saving someone’s life. Ryan, meanwhile, looks pissed and worried.
Ryan Samuels (Out of Breath): Wha… How did… What the hell is goin’ on here?
With that, Ryan suddenly spins around and smashes the young man with a big right hook that sends him straight into the concrete wall. The staff member slides down to the floor, knocked out from the attack by Samuels. Ryan, full of fury, storms off. Jake Mason appears back on the scene.
Jake Mason: That’s right my inbred little bull. Don’t think about what’s waiting behind the cape. Just run towards the red. Run towards your final days.

Combat boots thumping on the flooring. Loose fitting black trousers with a chain from the belt to a wallet. A Wendy O. Williams shirt and a black leather coat with patchwork. A soft face of subtle beauty beneath a green mohawk.
This is what the camera shows. Starting at the bottom and the camera pans up. She’s carrying a big black duffel bag slung over her left shoulder.
Abby Joseph: Rosie Sinn...right?
Rosie: That be me.
Abby: Can I ask a few questions?
Rosie: Normally, yeah, but sorry. Tonight I wanna save it for the ring. Excuse me though, I see someone I wanna introduce myself to.
Rosie smiles. She makes a B-line for the one and only Lilith Rising.
The camera shifts from Rosie to Lilith Rising, who’s leaning casually up against the wall talking with her manager, Sadie Graves, The voluptuous Salem native is clad in black leather pants and a white “Perfect Storm” tank with a black and red leather jacket thrown over her arm. She runs her fingers through her short blonde hair absently as the diminutive Sadie speaks.
Sadie Graves: I’m not sure about the new contacts, Lilith. I mean, you’re known for the natural yellow-green, not the white outs. It’s becoming a signature. Are you sure you wanna mess with-
Sadie pauses when she takes notice of Rosie’s approach, tilting her chin in her direction.
Sadie Graves: I believe you’ve got some fresh meat headed your way. Look..
Lilith raises a brow in curiosity and turns to see who Sadie is referring to. She takes note of the much smaller woman and smiles.
Lilith Rising: We’ll wrap this up later, Sadie. I believe things just got interesting…
Rosie gives a friendly smile.
Rosie: You’re Ramsey’s student, right?
Lilith crosses her arms under her ample bosom and gives Rosie a smirk.
Lilith Rising: Not just a student, Tiny. The favorite. His best creation to be exact. Lilith Rising, but you obviously know that and who, might I ask, are you?
Lilith looks her up and down condescendingly.
Lilith Rising: You his pet dwarf or something?
Rosie: (still smiling) I’m an old friend of Mike’s, Rosie Sinn. He sure didn’t teach ya any humility or people skills did he? But hey, anyone ever told you that size doesn’t always matter? I mean, you may be an Amazon, but I still remember sitting at home last week watching ya look at the rafters while the referee counted three...so there is that.
Lilith Rising: And you haven’t been paying attention around here obviously. I’ve been persecuted from the moment I walked in that door. It’s been blatantly obvious from the start. But as a daughter of Salem, I expect nothing less.
Lilith pushes herself off the wall, standing up to her full height. She looks down her nose at Rosie and laughs.
Lilith Rising: If you’re a friend of Mike’s, then my ego shouldn’t surprise you. I mean, I did learn from the best.
She takes her hand and places it on top of Rosie’s head and measures the difference between them. Lilith stifles a laugh when it only comes up to her bosom.
Lilith Rising: People skills are overrated. I’ll let you in on a little secret, shrimp. The only people that say size doesn’t matter are always the ones that have none to speak of. (she looks at her mohawk) I’ve gotta know, that’s why you grew that, right? To make it look like you’re tall enough for the rides, right?
Rosie:(laughing) Persecuted for being a daughter of Salem? Did your doctors not burst your bubble and tell you it’s 2021, not 1693. As for people skills, I guess you slept through the day in class when Mike taught you that in-ring talent can only get you so far...that to get over the hump, you need something called personality. Give it time, you’ll develop one hopefully.
Rosie starts to walk on, then stops.
Rosie: Oh, and short jokes..that don’t mean personality.
Sadie looks up at Lilith, noting how her expression has shifted from amusement to pure disgust and anger. She sighs and waves her hand towards Rosie in acceptance.
Sadie Graves: You might as well, I’d rather you not take this out on me. Lilith, if you will…
Lilith’s lips curl into a sadistic smile as she hands her jacket off.
Lilith Rising: Hold this for a second…
She takes off at a run, closing the distance quickly. Lilith levels Rosie from behind with a viscous clothesline which drops the new addition to the ground. Lilith mounts the fallen woman, rolling her over to face her and pinning her arms down with her knees. She grabs Rosie’s head and begins raining down hard rights in rapid succession, quickly taking the fire out of her. Lilith finally relents, pulling Rosie to her feet in unison with her own rising. She gives her one last look of disdain, holding her head in her hands before landing a devastating headbutt to Rosie’s nose. Lilith lets go, allowing her to slump to the floor and turns back to Sadie.
Lilith Rising: C’mon Graves, I’m done for now…
As the pair head off down the hall, the camera begins to shake before going black.

The feed transitions to a view of the backs of the Perfect Storm” Lilith Rising and her colorful manager Sadie Graves as they head down the hall only minutes after her run-in with Rosie Sinn. As the camera comes closer, the duo’s conversation can be heard.
Sadie Graves: You know that little gnat is going to be back, right? You can’t just break her nose and expect her not to want some retribution.
Lilith shrugs her shoulders nonchalantly.
Lilith Rising: And I care why? I’m gonna look forward to squashing her every chance I get.
Sadie laughs as they approach a familiar dressing room.
Sadie Graves: Well, let’s try and drag this one out, hmm? She could be fun…
Sadie leaves as Lilith opens the door to Jake Mason’s room.
Lilith Rising: Well, how’s my favorite prophet? (Pausing). Oh! That little issue I had last time with the cameraman?! I had management handle it. They’ve agreed to blur it out in non-match situations. Anyway...so what’s new?
Too deep in his thoughts, Jake Mason doesn’t even look at Lilith Rising. He just speaks.
Jake Mason: Have to figure out ramifications on actions to take place later tonight. To win or to lose? Where will the balance lie at the end of the day? Where will the morality of knowing take me?
Lilith walks fully in, shutting the door behind her and places her hands on her hips. She gives Jake a hard look and kicks his foot to get his attention.
Lilith Rising: Dude, that’s twice. If I didn’t like you, there’d be hell to pay for ignoring me - again. I’ve made space on my schedule each week to see you and you can’t be bothered?!
Lilith crosses her arms under her bosom and begins to pace.
Lilith Rising: And to think, I actually offered my help for your matches and apparently I’m not even here….go figure…
Jake Mason: You are what you feel you are. Yo if you feel you are present, then you are. If you feel that you are but wind passing through the world hoping to catch a leaf, then you are. Never forget you are in control of your you.
Lilith Rising: What I am is pure awesomeness but that’s not the point. What I’m saying is, I thought we were friends - partners - ya know? I thought when I offered you my expertise, you woulda got that. You’re the only person I come to talk to - outside of Sadie of course, but I can only tolerate her for so long. If I’m bothering you, just say the word, Jake.
Jake Mason: You are not a bother. You are a welcomed consort in a time when my mind needs to stay localized. Too often it finds itself wondering to times it’s not welcome.
She finally smiles a broad and genuine smile at him as she relaxes her stance.
Lilith Rising: That’s better. Now I can tell you all about the little miniature wrestler I taught a lesson to…
She pauses briefly and furrows her brow as if she’s forgotten something. Finally, a look of realization dawns on.
Lilith Rising: I’ll get back to that but it just occurred to me that I’ve got a match with Burn-something. Ya know, the one who watched too many Hulk Hogan promos? After losing to AJ last time, I really need to smoke this guy, you know?
Jake Mason: Then you should light him on fire. Blame it on Jessie Roberts. Her spirit has no future. She may already be in the gutter begging for scraps. No matter the culprit convicted , the victim is still just an afterthought in the minds of the known.
Lilith laughs at the thought.
Lilith Rising: Like anyone would believe that inept, little idiot could think that up much less pull it off. I mean, I’m a one woman wrecking crew - compared to me, she’s nothing. And I mean nothing. But forget about her, focus on whatever his name is that I face tonight. I can’t literally light him up but I need a plan. Any other ideas?
Jake Mason: Believe in yourself, and the rest will be but a play. If that doesn’t work you could always kick him below the belt. Either way it should result in a win.
Lilith Rising: True - you’ve got a good point. So….Kalidah?
Jake Mason: Is an illusion to a problem that one must find the answers to? For now we can only watch and observe the creature, and hope to exploit its weakness.
Lilith Rising: Crazy and delusional are weaknesses, right? Seems easy enough to exploit to me. That’s never a good combination though. Watch yourself out there.
She looks to the floor for a moment before returning a rather excited expression to Mason.
Lilith Rising: I forgot to finish my story! Suffice it to say, I believe I’ve found a replacement for Roberts. I mean, she looks like she belongs to the ACLU but I think I’ll make an exception this time. Besides, when I’m through with her, we can always have ourselves a midget toss! You in?
Jake Mason: Indeed. It will be nice to have something to break my locked focus on the future.
Lilith smiles broadly, nodding her head as she heads to the door.
Lilith Rising: Then it’s a plan. Can’t have you all morose over the future anymore. We’ll deal with tonight - I’ll crush my new bug - and then it’s time for some fun that the censors will hate!
As she crosses the threshold, her voice is trailing off.
Lilith Rising: I wonder how bad I broke her nose? Not nearly enough blood….

Arch Stanton sits in a hallway backstage at the Cherokee Center, hunkered down on a wooden stool. He just finishes tying his boots when Jackson Burnside shouts down the hall to him.
Jackson:
You’re in the wrong hallway, you fat prick!
Stanton turns in surprise. He quickly turns livid.
Arch:
Hey, mother*cker! Are you talkin’ to ME like that?
Stanton stands up tall. Burnside stomps up to him, practically chest-to-chest.
Jackson:
You’re RIGHT I am!
A few backstage officials gather around after the shouting. Both men keep their intensity, but back off a few feet to satisfy the officials.
Arch:
Alright, cool it. We both have other fish to fry tonight, yeah? I’ll clean up yer little mess, Jack. I saw Emma bust up yer nose last week . Tonight, I’ll show you how to take care of a champion…
Emma Douglas appears from a nearby doorway, United States Title over her shoulder. She acts impressed, having overheard.
Emma:
Is that so? How do you know you won’t be even less successful? You can both talk all you want, but you’re not so tough. I’d love to stomp both of you, but what makes you think either of you deserves another shot at me OR my title?
Jackson:
We have some serious unfinished business, you and me. I’m ready any time, sister! Besides, the cream rises to the top – I’ll get a shot at any title I want, baby. If you think you’re outta my league, you’re DREAMING! You have a rude awakening coming your way!
Arch:
Yer BOTH dreamin’! Am I supposed to stand idly by? Jackson couldn’t get it done. I’ll bet I could do better. Yer always back here since The Rumble sayin’ how you’d like to get yer hands on me, an’ break my bones an’ all that. Let’s TANGLE, honey – we got a chance tonight!
Emma:
(imitating both) By gawd – I rootin’, tootin’ like to hurt people, daddy! You better look out there, missy! I’m baaad, man!
Emma rolls her eyes.
Emma:
Please! You both know perfectly well that I’m the United States Champion for a reason. You also know that neither one of you have what it takes to hold this gold. Huff and puff and put on your tough-guy act – but you KNOW you’re not good enough.
Jackson:
Look – you’re lucky we didn’t settle things last week, sister! You’re lucky we got pulled apart. I was mad enough to be dangerous, and…
Emma:
Hey - ask Anthony Cross if I’m dangerous. Ask anyone else who gets in my way. If you two clowns don’t sober up, you’ll find out for yourselves.
Arch barks at Emma, trying to shout her down. She doesn’t flinch.
Arch:
I AIM to, Emma! I aim to find out. You wanna smarten me up? Teach me somethin’ tonight! We both have partners – GOOD ones – and they won’t be standin’ in the way. They’re sure to dial us both right up to 11, an’ THEN we’ll see how BAD we can be.
Emma:
You think you can still turn it up that high? We won’t have all night. Aren’t you tired of ending up on your back, Arch? Do you want it to happen here in Ashville, too?
Arch:
Well, it seems to me that I’ve beaten you before, Emma…
Jackson:
... and I've beaten YOU before, Arch.
Arch:
… which brings me to my point. There are some things that aren’t solved with a quick count. Jackson held me down long enough, but I’m still walkin’ tall. Emma went down before, but she’s a goddamn champ-EEN. There are things brewin’ between us that won’t be solved so easy. There are wins an’ losses that won’t have nothin’ to do with the record books…
Emma:
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’ll beat you both a HUNDRED TIMES if it’ll make you feel better.
Stanton, hands on hips, turns and looks at Emma. His eyes sparkle and a twisted grin spreads across his grizzled face. He chuckles.
Arch:
Ha! It might, Miss Emma It might…
Stanton turns and saunters down the hall, leaving Emma and Jackson Officials inch closer, trying to get between them before anything else happens.
Emma:
And, as for YOU – pay attention to what I do to that stupid son of a b*tch out there. You think we have something to settle? You might be unlucky enough to get your wish.
Jackson stares daggers at Emma while she goes back into her dressing room and closes the door.
Cliff Morris: A lot to be settled between these three!
Logan Acker: It looks like they’ve each made two dangerous enemies!

Aiden Prince is alone, sans his bodyguard and his intern. He’s already dressed in his wrestling gear, along with another new t-shirt that advertises him as the “Next UWL Television Champion. Aiden is all smiles as he stands next to Abby Joseph.
Aiden Prince: You know what, Abby, you’re welcome for last week. And you’re welcome because despite you’re inappropriate gawking, last week was a landmark for me that has me in a good mood.
Abby Joseph: About last weeks match.
Aiden interrupts.
Aiden Prince: Pretty genius, wasn’t it?
Abby Joseph: Actually, cowardly was the word I was looking for.
Aiden Prince: Cowardly? First you strip me with your eyeballs then you insult me? What I did was genius. You’re just pissed because I’m right.
Abby Joseph: How are you right?
Aiden Prince: I told you two weeks ago I am more than just a pretty face, a great body, charismatic, and a phenomenal athlete. I’m also a great mind. Sure, I could’ve won last week and earned my title shot, but then where’s the payoff match? Instead I used the rules to my advantage, got my title shot, and protected the champion in the process. I mean, I need people to actually believe, as ill conceived as it is, that Kalidah stands a chance. It draws more interest.
The lights around them begin to flicker and someone starts chuckling behind Prince.
Eli Buchanan: This that what you were doing? And here I thought you were training for a marathon.
Aiden looks at him confused.
Aiden Prince: I’m sorry, but if you’re a fan of mine you’ll need to go through my intern, and not interrupt my interview. Does security know you snuck back here?
The lights continue to flicker and Eli looks around with a chuckle.
Eli Buchanan: Oh you can say that security knows all about me. As for your intern, he said I could come talk with you right now. At least I think that’s what he meant, it was hard to tell since he was running in the way from me at the time. Seemed like a nice kid, even if he doesn’t seem very reliable.
Aiden Prince: Someone needs to call an electrician. Hey, look, just gimme a marker, and whatever you want me to autograph and get on your way. And I’m the future, don’t scare my intern away.
He looks at Abby.
Aiden Prince: Really, who is this guy?
Eli Buchanan: Oh how rude of me. My name is Eli Buchanan, owner and proprietor of the Hotel California. Such a lovely place. And you, Aiden Prince aren’t half as smart as I thought you were.
The lights flicker again and Kalidah is standing in his place for the briefest of seconds before Eli returns.
Aiden swallows hard, then recovers.
Aiden Prince: That’s...what...are you two the same person? Is that’s what going on here? I mean, if it’s, I get it. I’d wear a mask to hide that, too.
Eli laughs.
Eli: Well my wife didn’t marry me for my good looks, that’s for sure, but that’s besides the point. I come bearing a warning from Kalidah. Next time you two meet, you better not stop running.
Aiden Prince: Run? Ha! I didn’t run. I outsmarted him, and did “you both” a favor. You’re welcome.
Eli laughs.
Eli Buchanan: Did you now? Well maybe you did do him a favor.
He gets right up in Aiden’s face.
Eli Buchanan: Because when you get your Television Title match, you won’t have the option of running. Titles can only be won inside the ring, which means when Kalidah gets his hands on you, and mark my words, he will get his hands on you, he will rip that tongue of yours out of your mouth just for giggles.
Aiden laughs.
Aiden Prince: Funny, because to be such a scary man, and me to be the so called coward, it sure looks like I’m the one standing here, while the masked freak is nowhere to be seen with what will soon be
my title. So you’ll have to excuse me if I wait to shake in my boots.
Eli smiles.
Eli Buchanan: I’m so glad to think that, but perhaps you’d like to tell him that yourself.
The lights go out and Eli disappears.
Aiden Prince: So both are cowards. I always thought the idea of split personality is one made up for another’s shortcomings.
He shrugs at Abby.
Aiden Prince: Of course, I’d run from me, too. After all, I am the Featured Attraction.
He turns around and Kalidah is standing there, blocking his path. The beast of Hotel California tackles him to the floor and begins attacking him with elbow strikes to the face. Not done yet, Kalidah picks Aiden up and belly to belly suplexes him right through the wall.
Officials and security rush in to check on Prince. There’s a laugh off camera and as it pans around, Eli Buchanan once again stands there. He shakes his head.
“Oh boy! They really don’t make walls like they used to.”
The lights flash and Eli disappears.

Emily Lyle - From New Rio de Janeiro, weighing two hundred and thirty pounds, Jack Mason!!
As the lights come back up Jake Mason is standing in the ring. Mason places his top hat on the corner post and sets his cane on the apron before taking off his shirt and prepares for the match to start.
Red smoke covers the entrance stage as “Damned Anthem” begins to play. Rising out of the abyss, Kalidah and Lotte appear. The two stare at one another for a moment before Lotte skips away, twirling and dancing as she makes her way down to the ring. Meanwhile, Kalidah slowly walks down the ramp, neither looking left or right. When he arrives at ringside, Lotte helps him out of his robe.
Emily Lyle - From Hotel, California, weighing two hundred and forty pounds, he is the UWL Television Champion, Kalidah!!
He watches her skip up the ring steps and go between the ring ropes, before leaping up onto the ring apron and rolling over the top rope into the ring. He stares at the camera while Lotte twirls around him. She pats his head and he follows her back to the corner to await the start of the match.
Cliff Morris – It's time for our next match up. As, Television Champion Kalidah takes on Jack Mason.
Logan Acker – Jack Mason will show this masked nut just what it's like to be in the ring with a true madman.
The referee calls for the bell both men slowly moves to the center of the ring both men circle each other slowly and lock up into a collar and elbow tie up. Mason goes around Kalidah into a rear waist lock. Kalidah goes around behind Mason and locks him into a headlock Mason shoves Kalidah off. Kalidah hits the ropes Mason drops down and Kalidah runs over Mason hits the ropes runs back at Mason and hip tosses Kalidah up and over. Kalidah gets up quickly Mason runs at Kalidah and knocks him down with a clothesline sending him down to the mat.

Logan Acker – Kalidah's cat like quickness couldn't get him out of the way of that clothesline.
Kalidah rolls out to the floor to regroup. Mason looks around runs across the ring leaps up and over the top rope out onto Kalidah with a suicide dive on the floor. Mason gets up pulls Kalidah up to his feet. Mason grabs Kalidah, but he kicks Mason in the stomach grabs him and shoves Mason into the security railing. Kalidah pulls Mason to his feet and shoves him again into the security railing. Kalidah pulls Mason to his feet wraps his arms around Mason and drives his back into the ring edge of the ring Mason falls to the floor holding his back. Kalidah pulls Mason to his feet and shoves him back into the ring. Kalidah turns around and looks at the fans in the front row before sliding back in the ring.
Cliff Morris – Kalidah looks to be shaken up.
Logan Acker – How can you tell through that mask?
Kalidah gets to his feet as Mason is lying on the mat holding his back. Kalidah stands over Mason and drives his knee into Mason’s back. Kalidah grabs Mason pulls him to his feet. Kalidah grabs Mason and locks him into the abdominal stretch. Kalidah pulls Mason back the referee gets down in front of Mason asking if he gives up as the referee is checking on Mason. Kalidah the hold locking it on tighter, the referee checks, Mason shakes his head no.
Cliff Morris – Kalidah has Jack Mason locked in the abdominal stretch with nowhere to go.
Logan Acker – Jack Mason is just giving Kalidah time to think he's taken the advantage that is all.
Kalidah pulls on the hold adding more pressure, the referee gets back down asking Mason if he gives up. Mason manages to turn, he throws Kalidah over with a hip toss. Kalidah gets up off the mat. Mason sends him down with a standing dropkick. Kalidah covers him, the referee counts.

“It's My Life” by Plasmatics queues up. The crowd in the know from her previous endeavors jump to their feet in rabid applause. ‘Queen of Punk’ Rosie Sinn dashes through the curtain. Rosie’s bottom half of her face is painted crimson from the blood of a broken nose at the hand of Lilith Rising from earlier in the night. Ignoring the crowd, the normally charismatic Rosie appears all business when she climbs into the ring and demands a microphone.
She stares long and hard at the crowd.
Rosie: Ya know, I had this all played out in my head. I’d come out here, call you the wrong city, get a comedy pop. I was gonna talk about how everyone does the same basic introduction about how they plan to do this and that while putting the crowd to sleep with repetitiveness. Then, this happened.
She grabs the nearby camera and pulls it close to her bloodied face.
Rosie: So I’m sorry if I’m not ray of BLEEPing sunshine here. I try to come in, I try to make an introduction to a rookie in this industry and what do I get? (She licks the blood). This!! Now I’m not upset about the broken nose or the blood. Hell, I made my bones in this business. But what I’m pissed about is how it happened. Miss Rising, you want to claim persecution, persecution is the least of your worries. I’m coming for you...and that...that’s punk!!
Rosie slams the mic down on the mat.

The scene cuts in on UWL World Champion Casey Holliday in the center of the ring. While she was in a better mood two weeks ago, this time, she’s not in the best mood at all this time around. She’s getting a strong reception from the audience as she normally does and while she isn’t showing any ounce of a wavered confidence whatsoever, she’s certainly not in the brightest mood as she begins to express her thoughts.
Casey Holliday: Ever since I won this world championship, the haters have come out of the woodwork. That’s part of the business, I get it. I’m no dunce despite what some people on this roster may have you to believe. These haters think they can talk about me as if they actually matter which… let’s be honest… the only reason why some of them feel the need to talk about me when they are so far beneath my level that they barely register on my radar is because nothing that they do actually matters. If it actually DID matter, they’d let whatever they do in this ring do the talking but nah, you gotta aim for the best right? Hey, fair game! When you’re on top, the target is on your back.
It hasn’t been peachy and believe me, some of the shit that the likes of Billy Danielson and AJ Knight have had to say hasn’t rolled off of my back all that smoothly at times to be honest. But again, that’s the nature of the beast. That kind of stuff? I can at least take it in stride for the most part. But stuff like what I’m about to show you? Well… take a look for yourselves…
Casey takes a pause as the scene cuts to the events of last show’s main event between Casey and Billy Danielson, with all of the “glory” of the involvement of James Edwards. Once the scene comes back to Casey at ringside, her annoyance on her face is very loud and clear.
Casey Holliday: Look, scoring a win over Billy Danielson is nice and everything… but I did NOT want to win against him under THOSE circumstances! That type of BULLSHIT is NOT why I won this championship! I won this championship to be THE leader of a new generation and to show the world that the old ways of doing things in UWL are OVER! I’ve NEVER needed ANYONE’S help to win ANY match against ANYONE and GOD, I would’ve LOVED to have silenced Billy Danielson and shoved his own, empty pathetic words down his throat since he’s so high and mighty on his non-existent throne that he thinks I’m just some, fluke, one-hit wonder Cinderella champion… which I’m NOT! Of course, he’s so caught up in his own bullshit that he didn’t even bother to notice anything outside of his own world. This shit with the Franchise… oh they do their thing in Mainstream… but they don’t get to dominate THIS company… not while I have a say in it. Unfortunately, because of James Edwards and HIS dumbass, little Billy Danielson gets a “Get out of Jail Free” excuse to keep talking the shit that he’s been talking about me!
Oh wait… let’s not get carried away here. We HAVE to mention AJ Knight because if I DON’T… OH MY GOD, SHE’S IGNORING ME!
Casey pauses to roll her eyes, clearly showing that she has little tolerance for AJ’s attention whore antics.
Casey Holliday: You want to act like the spotlight should ALWAYS be on you, AJ? Tell me… what have you DONE in UWL to even be noticed at all? Blow big match opportunity after big match opportunity? You couldn’t beat Robb Daniels. But I DID! You couldn’t win the Coronation Cup. But I DID! You want to act like I’ve always HAD to pay attention to you ever since you got here? Why? Because you’re AJ Knight? Please! While you’re busy blowing big match after bitch match in UWL… until the rumble anyway… I was focused on… you know… IMPORTANT things like… once more with FEELING: the Coronation Cup and Robb Daniels! Not to say that you aren’t important NOW, not to say that you aren’t good at what you do because you are and you wouldn’t have won the rumble to get your title shot against me if you weren’t… but YOU think all of the spotlight should be on YOU and that YOU should be the leader of a new generation here in UWL?
Let me ask you this, AJ…
How the HELL can you be a leader of a new generation when you’re not even the leader of the Franchise? How the HELL can you be UWL World Champion when Billy Danielson is CLEARLY your better half? He drew attention with his open challenge. He’s in the main event tonight.
IN before you blame that on me.
IN before you begin whining about what I’m saying about you when you spent weeks whining about me ‘ignoring you’.
Well tonight? You WILL have my attention… and I’m going to make you REGRET ever wanting it! So there’s your food for thought, you attention whore, son of a bitch! This is your chance to show that you really DO deserve that attention you’re CLEARLY addicted to!
But like you do more often than not… you’re going to fall JUST a little bit short!
Casey delivers a sarcastic wink, showcasing her confidence. The audience of course, eats it up as she exits the ring and raises the world title over her head once she makes her way to the back.

Emily Lyle - The following contest is set for one fall with a fifteen minute time limit!
The lights in the arena flicker and strobe madly as "Superbeast" plays throughout the arena. The lights focus down on the entrance as Jackson Burnside steps out from the back looking manic, shaking his arms wildly up as his chest with a crazed look in his eyes.
Emily Lyle - "Hailing from the Windy City and standing six-five and weighing in tonight at two-hundred and ninty-six pounds, Jackson Buuuuurnsiiiiiide!"
Jackson bounces back and forth a few times on his heels and then without any fanfair the lights turn on and he sprints straight down to the ring. He slides under the bottom rope and covers an impressive distance, popping up at the center of the canvas with his hands raised high in the air. He approaches the ropes and grasps the top in both hands. He violently shakes the ropes and stops his feet repeatedly. The ropes continue to shake violent even after he releases them, and Jackson Burnside continues to hype himself up as he waits.
The lights go down as "Judas" by Septogram plays over the PA system. The lyrics "You are beautiful on the inside, you are innocence personified." are the first words heard and at that time, a strobe light effect with a red hue highlights the walkway.
“Parasite” by Ded begins to play over the PA system. The heavy drumbeats resound, accompanied by lightning fast guitar riffs. The dark, growling voice breaks in..
“What’s yours is mine...And what’s mine is mine.
You’re divine so tonight we dine.
I’ll suck the life from you.
It’s all that I do."
The normal white lights throughout the arena suddenly go out, replaced slowly by blood red lights all along the ramp and stage. A cloud of fog rolls across the stage, making it almost impossible to see anything.
When the verse
“You’ll bow down to the terror waiting for you “
plays, a tall silhouette is seen emerging from the fog. Lilith steps forward, her eyes scanning the crowd as a look of condescension spreads across her face.
“Insatiable in every way...there’s nothing stopping me...”
accompanies her long strides down the ramp. She leaps up to the ring apron and steps through the ropes as her music fades.
Emily Lyle - From Salem, Massachusetts, weighing one hundred and forty pounds, Lilith Rising!!
“Skeleton Key” plays over the PA system and we hear these words open the song...
"In another life, another place... there was a shadow without a face.
I could see... the survivors, were few...
Memories to which I cling, things I do and songs I sing...
They all... bring me back, to you..."
Cliff Morris - We're about to see the true measurement of a size disadvantage. As, Jackson Burnside takes on Lilith Rising.
Logan Acker - Lilith Rising will show Jackson Burnside what it means to be have speed over size advantage.
The bell sounds. They move from their corners. Burnside goes to grab Rising. She dodges out of the way nailing Burnside with a dropkick to his knee. Burnside sits on one knee looking back at Rising.

Burnside lands a stiff punch, which stuns Rising. Burnside grabs Rising snapping her back over with a snapmare into a rear chinlock. Burnside locks his arms tight around Rising’s head.
Cliff Morris - Burnside has Lilith Rising locked up with nowhere to go as he has that chin lock locked on.
Logan Acker - You think you're funny putting Lilith Rising down just because she's not in the advantage.
They return to their feet, Rising sends Burnside off into the ropes. Burnside runs off the ropes running back at Rising hitting her with a shoulder block. Burnside turns running back off the ropes.

The scene opens up inside an empty dark high school football field. The lights are off and the stillness can be felt through the field. Walking around the quiet field is none other than the Midwest Nightmare, Ryan Samuels. Dressed in a pair of wrangler jeans, white t-shirt and his trusted black cowboy hat, Ryan is pacing around. He takes in the emptiness before he begins to speak.
RYAN SAMUELS: When I was in high school, I done did played football for my school and I was damn proud to do so. I worked hard to be the best damn football player in all of Kansas. Each morning I'd wake up and run a mile or so then get back home and get ready for school. After school, it was practice time and hot damn, those practices would probably break most folks. You'd done did push yourself physically and mentally to the point of near breakdown each and every day. But that's what you did if you wanted to be the best. Now, I took that mentality and done followed it as a professional wrestler. I push myself and test myself each and every day cause I want to be the best. I ain't settlin' for second place here. That just won't cut it for me, no sir. That's something my opponent Aiden Prince and I have in common. He wants to be the best and is willing to do what he has to do in order to get the win and be the best. The big difference between the two of us is that, unlike Aiden, I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Shit, we didn't even have metal spoons in my house. We were old school and used wooden spoons. Prince, you have had the world handed to you without fuss or much of a fight. You demand and you get. That kinda world must be nice to live in for sure. The thing is that your little world of demand and special treatment is about to come crashin' down. You are about to step into the ring with the Midwest Nightmare, son. You are gonna have to put up or shut up cause I ain't no pushover. You take that damn silver spoon and start diggin' your grave cause I am about to open up a world of pain and sufferin' on you.
Ryan walks over to the goal post and leans against it as he looks over the vast empty field.
RYAN SAMUELS: Now, don't think I done did forgot about you, Jake Mason. You and your weirdo magic tricks ain't impressin' no one. I'm a man who lives in reality and doesn't care about spooky tricks and illusions. Magic is all fun and games when you're twelve, Jake. It's time to grow the hell up and pull your head outta your ass, son. I don't want to see your face around, got it? If you keep on pushin' me, I'm gonna fire back and I promise you that you will be very unhappy with that. It's time that the UWL and it's moronic fans get themselves ready for the Midwest Nightmare. I'm the next big thing around here and you better recognize that fact.
The cameras cut back to ringside as Ryan begins to walk off the football field, laughing to himself.
RYAN SAMUELS: Time to put on a god damn show! HOT DAMN!

The audience at home is transported to Hotel California, where Eli Buchanan is leading a yoga class. He notices the viewers watching and waves.
“Nomaste, and welcome back to the Hotel California. It’s such a lovely place. Today I thought it would be a good idea if myself and the guests came outside and did a bit of yoga to help find inner peace.”
He points to many of the hotel’s residents, who are currently all in the “Plank Pose”. One of them is unable to hold the position for long and cries out as he falls over. Everyone around him stops and looks at him, then back at Eli. Eli lets out a sigh and shakes his head.
“Hey don’t worry, pal. Yoga can be really hard at first, so maybe you need a hand over there.”
He turns to look at the Well of Despair and whistles.
“Hey Nizbel! Azalo! Can you give this gentleman a hand with his yoga.”
The two members of the Herkmen come climbing out of the well and crawl over to the man. They each grab one of his arms and drag him off camera as he cries out for fear and pleads for mercy. Eli watches them take him away and laughs.
“Aren’t those two just a couple of swell guys. I bet that gentleman gets the plank pose perfected in no time.”
The man starts screaming loudly off camera, but Eli ignores him and continues talking to the camera.
“I’ve been told tonight Kalidah takes you, Jake Mason. I was really excited about this because I thought for a minute you were related to Perry Mason, which would have been awesome since Uncle Brute and I used to reruns of his show when I was a kid. Then Lotte told me you weren’t, because Perry Mason is just a fictional character. That made me a bit sad actually, but when I went looking for your bio I couldn’t find it, so for all I know you really are related to him somehow!”
The man screams again but Eli takes no notice of him.
“Now Jake, if that’s really your name, you might think because we can’t find anything out about you that you have some sort of advantage against Kalidah. If so, you are sadly wrong, my friend. You see, Kalidah doesn’t care what you’ve done, or where you’ve been, all he cares about is that when you get in the ring with him, you have become the hunted. So I encourage you to bring your A-Game, Perry…, I mean, Jake, because you are going to need everything you have in your mystery arsenal to stand a fighting chance against him.”
The man stops screaming and Eli turns to look. He groans and facepalms himself.
“No, no, no, you still aren’t getting it. Nizbel, Azalo, I thought you two knew what you were doing!”
The camera pans around and we see that the man has been bent backwards in half, his head touching his ass. His back is clearly broken and he is convulsing. The Herkmen are crawling around him and giggling menacingly. They grab the man and drag his body off to the well and the camera wisely turns back to Eli. He shrugs and lets out a long sigh.
“We lose more guests that way.”
He starts laughing, first quietly but then more loudly and it grows manic. The sky behind him grows dark and the guests run inside as it starts to rain. Eli doesn’t seem to notice it and he laughs even louder, his face twisting into an evil grin.
Without warning, lightning strikes him and everything goes dark. Voices scream in surprise, then everything goes quiet. After a moment, a match is lit and Kalidah is standing there, surrounded by Lotte, the Herkmen and several others, all wearing white masks. Kalidah lunges at the screen and roars, “RUN!”
