The opening riff to "Wing and a Prayer" by Savage Messiah hits the PA system and the lights dim until the first few lyrics are heard at which point Jessie Salco emerges from the back headbanging to the song as she goes.
Missy: Introducing first, from Miami, Florida and representing the Angel Clan, she is "The Heavy Metal Angel" Jessie Salco!
Jessie finishes headbanging before sprinting down to the ring slapping hands with a few fans as she descends down the ramp and slides into the ring where she throws up the metal horns before handing over her denim jacket to a stagehand as she waits for her opponent.
Missy: and her opponent!!!
The Golden Age by The Asteroids Galaxy Tour starts to play.
I wished I lived in the golden age
Giving it up on the Broadway stage
Hang with the rats and smoke cigars
Have a break with Frank and count the stars
Missy: From Scottsdale, AZ... Stacy Ruin!!!
Dressed to the nines, with hair to match
Shiny jewels, casino cash
Tapping feet wanna take the lead
A trip back in time is all I need
Stacy and Debbi high fives as many soldiers as they can while reaching ringside.
Oh!
Sing it out loud gonna get back honey
Sing it out loud get away with me
They slide in the ring as the music fades out

Oscar: Jessie claps her hands in the air as the crowd follows her lead. Stacy looks at the crowd than at Jessie. Jessie lets out a scream of excitement. They get to the center of the ring and tie up. Stacy pushes Jessie away… Stacy gets her hands up as she wants to show a test of strength.

Missy: Your winner of this match by pinfall… Jessie Salco!!!
Kevin: Please welcome my guest at this time, Earl Lockyer, Earl you’ve been on quite a roll lately, and The Bad Boys have seemed to have drawn your ire.
Earl: Ya know Kev, your right on both statements, and speaking of the Bad Boys, I’m calling Tim Staggs out at Warzone, that is of course if he has the balls.
Kevin: Great, we’ll have to see if he accepts the challenge, but about tonight, you face Alex Jones for the men’s Honor title, your thoughts.
Earl: I’m a man on honor Kev, I served my country with honor and respect, Alex Jones has been a good champion, but when I win tonight, the title will become truly honorable, with me as champion.
Kevin: Well good luck tonight.
Earl: Someone as good as me, I don’t need luck.
We go backstage and see Brooke Saxon with Kate Steele.
Brooke: Hey, thanks for meeting with me. Look I will just cut to the chase. Syrin, your opponent...
Kate: I'm the ony Siren in Honor.
Brooke: Oh so you already know then?
Kate: Know what?
Brooke: Okay, I guess you don't. Well, Syrin your opponent s not here. She came back to Honor ready to take the company ready to set it on fire but something came up and she will be gone for some time. You will win this match by forfeit but tonight you have no match.
Kate: No, I'm Kate Steele, I don't fly out to events to not have a match. You find me someone or I will!
Cindy Warren appears on screen
Cindy: Just like you Kate, always demanding...
Kate cuts her off with a Haymaker knocking Cindy to the floor. Kate gets on top of her striking her with punches as Brooke grabs Kate and pulls her off of Cindy. Security comes over and grabs Kate but Brooke orders them off and to take Cindy out of there.
Brooke: Come with me to my office, let have a talk.
The two leave the area as security get Cindy off the floor.
The opening scream for the song "Test Your Metal" by Unleash The Archers is heard over the PA and the lights start flashing accross the arena before Caleb comes out headbanging along to the song before he poses for the crowd at the top of the ramp.
Missy: Introducing, from Syracuse, New York and weighing in at 220lbs, he is "The Metal Storm" Caleb Storms!!!
Caleb makes his way down the ramp slapping hands with the fans as he makes his way down the ramp before sliding into the ring and throwing up the metal horns as he waits for his opponent.
The tunes to Gavin Rossdale's "Adrenaline" plays and Logan emerges through the curtains to cheers from the fans. He's followed by his 12 year old kid sister, Lisa.
Missy: And his opponent, from Sweetwater, Texas, standing at 6’2” and weighing in at 220lb, he is Logan Scott!!!
The pair goes the ramp tagging hands and working the crowd into a frenzy. At ringside, he hugs Lisa and escorts her to her front row seat. From there, he slides into the ring and runs the ropes, ending the routine with flashy flips and twisting kicks. Then he retreats to his corner, where he bounces up and down in place.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Lauren: Caleb Storm and Logan Scott stare off at each other as they touch fists out of respect. Caleb steps back as does Logan and they circle one another. Caleb goes to lunge, but Logan raises his arms, ready to take Caleb on. Caleb retracts and shakes out his arms, cracking his neck. Logan moves in, but Caleb wraps his arms around his waist, readying himself for a German Suplex. However, Logan rolls around behind Caleb, bringing him over for a German Suplex. He bridges it into a pin.

He runs up to the second rope and throws up the metal horns once again before stepping to the top rope. He flies off with the Metal Storm! (Shooting Star Press) Hooks the leg!

Missy: Here is your winner… Caleb Storms!!!
The referee raises Caleb’s hand up in victory as he stands up. His music begins playing over the speakers as he bangs his head to the rhythm. Caleb looks down at Logan on the ground, and after celebrating for a moment or two, he reaches down and helps Logan back to his feet, slapping him on the back as he steps outside of the ring.
Winter: I know everyone expects me to go out there and run my mouth. Not today, with the biggest match in my career just a few minutes away against one of the very best in this profession. I really mean that. I will make her tap but the truth is. I respect Mercedes more then I lead on. That won't stop me from being the first one to really beat her. I may have a win on Mercedes already but tonight I get to make her tap out and give her a real loss and I get to be crowned the new Honor Champion.
Winter takes a deep breath
Winter: Beating you tonight will show the world that I am a top star, I do belong in the main event. This Rookie of the Year is the real deal, tonight I prove that to all who doubt me. Tonight is Winter's night. I will rise to the top of the women's roster.
Winter walks away and goes to the other side of the locker room as he starts to stretch a bit.
Missy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the Legacy Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, at 5’9” and weighing in at 165lb, he is… Blasted Monk!!!
As Blasted Monks theme starts to play we see Monk walking down the ramp. A mix reaction is heard from the crowd as he makes his way to ringside. Monk gets in the ring and jumps on the top turnbuckle. Monk is running on top of the top ropes, as he runs a lap around the ring from the top ropes. The fans cheer as he gets down and gets back in the ring.
Missy: And his opponent, standing at 5’8” and weighing in at 175lb, he is your Legacy Champion… Travis Blake!!!
Lights go out as Dot your Eyes by Five Finger Death Punch rocks the arena; the fans start to mark out. Few minutes later we see a man walking out with a hood over his head and once the music plays more. He flings his head up and extends his arms as he smirks.
Ding! Ding! Ding!

Before Missy can make the announcement Referee turns to see Monk has not let go of the hold.

Diego: Please welcome my guest, a member of the Three Way, Dahlia Rotten.
Dahlia steps into the interview area.
Diego: Tonight you face Tatsu Ikeda with the winner going to Warzone to face Mercedes Vargas.
Dahlia has the blood-stained brass knuckles on her right hand, she looks down at them with an eerie smile on her face.
Dahlia: Diego, there comes a time in life when a person realizes that they need to do whatever they have to achieve certain goals, Earl and I were two time Pride tag team champions, and Earl has held titles all over the world, tonight Diego the opportunity that sits in front of me is one I won’t let slip by, tonight I slay a bloody dragon, and punch my ticket to warzone, now get out of my face.
Missy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for number one contendership to the Honor Championship! Introducing first, from Edmonton, Alberta by way of Leeds, standing at 5’5” and weighing 260lb, she is Dahlia Rotten!!!
Earl steps on the stage accompanied by Dahlia and Sarah, they walk to the ring and enter, a spotlight shine on the rings, Dahlia and Sarah wrap their arms around Earl's neck and he give the crowd an arrogant smile
The opening to "Karate" by Babymetal begins to play as the lights dim down to show a silhouette of a woman standing behind a screen in a karate "Ready stance". She transitions into a Crane stance and follows through with a front stance high punch right through the screen, making her way through. She is wearing a black ghi with a black belt, and her hair up in blonde pigtails.
Missy: And her opponent… From Tokyo, Japan, standing at 5’1” and weighing in at 117lb, she is “The Dragon” Tatsu Ikeda!!!
She charges to the ramp and then slowly falls into a Crouching Tiger position as she glares down at the ring with an almost twisted smile on her face as she holds it, playing mind games as she works out her strategy in her mind. She then comes back to a standing position as she treads lightly down the ramp on the tips of her toes. As she reaches the bottom of the ramp, she begins running until she catches onto the top rope with her hand, holding in an almost artistic pose with one leg bent, and the tip of her other foot dangling lightly. After a second of this, she pulls herself onto the apron, flipping over the top rope and steadying herself as she stays vertical before falling into a side split, impressing the audience as she holds it for several seconds. Just as quickly as she falls into the pose, she finishes the initial flip, charging across the ring and running up to the top turnbuckle as she returns to the Crane stance. She looks out across the audience as she smiles before flipping off and landing in the Crouching Tiger once more. She turns to run across to the opposing turnbuckle, giving it the same treatment. As she flips back down, she turns and rests, watching Dahlia intently.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Lauren: The bell rings, and Tatsu comes to the center of the ring to shake hands with Dahlia Rotten, but Rotten slaps Tatsu’s hand away and sneers at her. Tatsu nods and takes a step back. She then launches herself forward with a Roundhouse Kick to Rotten, sending her backwards into the ropes. Tatsu hits a series of rapid jabs, strikes, and kicks. Rotten grabs onto one of Tatsu’s ponytails and pulls her in closer, but Tatsu nails a Headbutt that sends Rotten back into the corner.
Oscar: Tatsu jumps up and down gleefully, clapping her hands as she charges back to the opposite corner. She charges forward for a Spear, but Rotten steps out of the way grabbing the back of Tatsu’s tights as she sends her flying into the post. She keeps hold and repeatedly sends her into the post, hitting her one, two, three, FOUR times! Tatsu holds onto her shoulder as Rotten picks her up into a Samoan Drop, hooking the leg of Tatsu.

Lauren: Tatsu gets a shoulder up as she tries to wiggle free. Rotten grits her teeth as she leans up. She picks Tatsu up with a Body Slam. She jerks Tatsu back up to her feet and sends her flying into the corner. Tatsu collides with the corner and holds onto her shoulder as she slowly sinks. Rotten quickly follows up with a Body Avalanche to Tatsu. She drags Tatsu up to her feet once again as she runs her face across the top rope, back and forth.
Oscar: Tatsu cries out as she tries to elbow Rotten in the side, but Rotten grabs onto the back of her hair and slams her head down to the mat hard with a Hair Pull Mat Slam. She shouts out at the booing audience before hitting a Standing Body Splash. She hooks the leg once more.

Thr-Kickout!
Oscar: Tatsu bravely gets her shoulder up, but Dahlia is not messing around as she yanks her up to her feet. She spins her around and rakes her back. Tatsu shouts out in pain as she stumbles forward. Rotten spins her around and grabs her up into a Bear Hug. She wrings her arms as she swings Tatsu around like a ragdoll. She laughs as Tatsu screams out in pain. The referee asks her if she quits, and she shakes her head as she slaps Dahlia’s back once. She then tries clubbing, but Rotten squeezes more tightly.
Lauren: Tatsu is refusing to give up, but Rotten isn’t giving up either. She keeps it locked on as Tatsu tries to wiggle free. After a moment of that, Rotten gets tired of it and she slams Tatsu right into the corner. As Tatsu holds onto her back, and favoring her right shoulder, Rotten smacks the back of Tatsu’s head a couple of times, and as Tatsu swings at her, Rotten grabs onto her arm, hitting the Rotten to the Core (Front Facelock STO)! She rocks the ring with it as the referee goes for the count.

Missy: Here is your winner, and Number One Contender to the Honor Championship… Dahlia Rotten!
Rotten stands up as the referee goes to raise her arm. However, instead of her music playing, “Amazing” by Hi Fashion begins playing. The crowd boos even more loudly as the ring crew files down to the ring, carrying a makeshift runway. They fasten it to the ring as Delia Darling steps out onto it. She is wearing military fatigues, tailored to booty shorts and a flattering top with a jacket draped over her shoulder. She stomps the runway like a fashion model as she moves toward the ring. She drops the military jacket, marching forward as she comes halfway down to the ring. She smirks as she looks right at Rotten, maintaining eye contact all while she waits for a microphone to be brought to her. She lets it hang in the air for a moment before raising the microphone to her lips.
Delia: First off, let me say z’is… Congratulations on defeating Tatsu to become z’e number one contender. Enjoy your moment, because… let’s face it… z’is is as good as it gets por vous… Once you step into z’e ring wi’s Mercedes Vargas, z’is little streak you have going for you? It’s going to end, much like Winter ended Mercedes’ streak…
The crowd boos as Delia shrugs her shoulders. She waves Dahlia back, but Dahlia steps forward, sitting on the middle rope and waving her inside. Delia rolls her eyes as she continues.
Delia: Careful. I’m sure you do not have enough money to repair z’e ring should you break it, darling… Allow me to make z’is short and sweet, so z’at even you can understand. I came to Honor to be z’e best. Right now, it is prison mentality. You are z’e biggest bitch here, and Alicia is z’e best. I already beat Alicia, so… Z’at leaves…
Delia points right at Dahlia. She smiles wickedly as she mouths that she is coming for Dahlia next. She drops the microphone to the ground as she slowly backs away, keeping her finger pointed at Dahlia as her music continues to play. Dahlia waves Delia back to the ring, going as far as to come strolling toward her.
Showdown returns from the commercial break as the camera shows a live look of the Prudential Center as the voiceover of the announce team of Oscar and Lauren Ramirez is heard for the moment.
Oscar: Welcome back to Wednesday Night Showdown on WGN America and the fifth show of 2018 everybody. As we look live at a sold-out Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, we’re on to road to Warzone and the first pay-per-view of the new year.
Lauren:After the fallout over the last several shows, including last week, the drama continues to build and you never know what might happen next.
The camera now cuts to inside the arena and pans over the capacity crowd on hand for tonight's Showdown. We see many fans bringing homemade signs of their favorite Honor superstars. Not even seconds go by before the arena lights turn of and the crowd is hyped up for what was in store. As the opening of “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” by U2 blares across the PA system, the mood of the crowd changes instantly and the arena is under the subtle glowing of the lights. As the lyrics finally kick in, there is a slight delay before Mercedes Vargas steps out onto the stage, carrying her checklist in one hand while the Women’s Honor Championship is around her waist. Mercedes forgoes her usual entrance as she walks down the ramp with a purpose, not even fazing the negative reaction from the rowdy crowd on hand tonight.
Missy: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Women’s Honor Champion...Mercedes Vargas!
Oscar: And there you see the woman who calls herself the Argentine Assassin and there’s no doubt there’s a lot on her mind. So much going on in Honor Wrestling, Lauren.
Lauren: And you’re right, there’s a lot going in Honor. We had La Paloma unmasking last week to reveal herself as Crystal Hilton, the debut of Northern Lights Wrestling as well as a lot of promising talent signings over the last few weeks. But I think none of that matters to Mercedes right now. She suffered her first-ever loss right on Showdown two weeks ago.
Oscar: That she did, but it was not without controversy. Syrin jeopardized Mercedes’ opportunity to remain undefeated by attacking Winter and, like you said, Mercedes suffered her first loss here in Honor to the surprise of many.
Mercedes is already in the ring as she is handed a microphone from a stagehand. As soon as her entrance music dies down in queue with the lights returning to normal, she raises her sunglasses above her head to take in the scene.
Lauren: Looks like we’re about to get some insight from the Women’s Honor World Champion right now.
Mercedes raises her microphone to speak.
Mercedes: Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you may have noticed that Honor Wrestling has been getting a lot of buzz lately: A couple of big signing here and there, a developmental brand, challengers and contenders separating themselves from the pack. And yet of the talent, some of the women think the attention is on them. Or, rather, it should be.
Mercedes points to herself.
Mercedes: But I am the Argentine Assassin. I am Mercedes Vargas. I am the reigning Female Wrestler of the Year and YOUR current, reigning and defending Women’s Honor World Champion. For well over 200 days, that’s six and a half months for those of you keeping score, I have never been pinned and is still undefeated in this...very...ring.
Oscar: Now wait a minute...
Mercedes: You have to go past me to solidify your spot here in Honor. And Honor, no matter who you put in this ring, I've destroyed them. Winter knows damn well that if it wasn’t for Syrin getting in my business, her name would be on my checklist right now. Tonight, her name will be. I guess you can say she was the one who got away. Not tonight. There’s nowhere for you to run, nowhere for you to hide, and no one to save you this time. You’re obsessed with making me tap out? You should know better than making promises you can’t keep, even to yourself. Unlike you, Winter, I claim nothing, I prove everything.
The crowd erupts in boos, leaving her puzzled at their reaction. She raises a hand to placate the crowd.
Mercedes: To Tatsu Ikeda and Dahlia Rotten, good luck tonight in your contendership match and may the best woman win. Because whoever wins, you lose.
The crowd boos.
Mercedes: And as for Winter? Well, you know how this goes...
She shrugs with a smile on her face.
Mercedes: Que la suerte está siempre en su favor.
May the odds be ever in your favor.
As her entrance music plays her out of the arena, Mercedes drops the microphone and flashes the numbers 203 and 108 – the number of days she’s been unpinned and the length of her title reign – with her hand. She then unbuckles her championship, raising it high above her head which incites the boos she gets in return.
Lauren: Mercedes has usually asked who’s next on her Twitter account after victories. Tonight, we find out who’s next to challenge her for the championship she’s now held for well over three months. Winter gets her shot at the champion here tonight on Showdown in our main event.
Oscar: And will the odds be in Winter’s favor to pull off yet another upset? Remember the words from the COO of Honor, Henry Saxon: Should Winter becomes the new champion tonight, then the Women’s Honor Championship match at Warzone becomes a triple threat. But that’s not all for title matches on for tonight.
Lauren: That’s right, Oscar, because the Legacy and Honor World Championships are also at stake. Travis Blake and Alex Jones were both successful in their respective inaugural title defenses at the Fallout pay-per-view back in December: Travis defeated Eric Weaver while Alex got past Dax Beckett in Buenos Aires. Tonight Alex has The Three Way’s Earl Lockyer standing in his way; Travis takes on Blasted Monk in his title defense.
Oscar: Travis Blake, Alex Jones and Mercedes Vargas all face tough challenges ahead of their second title defenses tonight in Newark, New Jersey. Will we be seeing any upsets before Showdown is over? Who could be leaving with momentum on the road to Warzone in less than three weeks? And can Mercedes avoid a second upset to Winter and her first pinfall defeat six months into her debut here in Honor? We’ll find out later tonight.
Mercedes continues walking backwards up the ramp as the scene fades out to the back.
Missy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Corpus Crhisti, Texas, standing at 5’9” and weighing in at 155lb, she is… Mrs Right!!!
The lights get lowered and there seems to be a purple hue as the music plays. After a few moments Mrs. Right comes out from backstage stopping for a moment waving to the left and to the right. Then she slowly walks to the ring and then up the steel steps. After she enters the ring, the walks to the center of the ring and turns taking a moment to pause as she faces each side of the ring. Before cutting a stare at the ring announcer as she walks to a corner. And backs herself in while waiting for the action to starts.
Missy: And her opponent, from Detroit, Michigan, standing at 5’5” and weighing in at 115lb, she is… Crystal Hilton!!!
Kat Deluna’s Run The Show begins to play all over the speakers. The moment it does Crystal is lifted up through the stage and she springs to her feet. She smiles as she skips down to the ring slapping the hands of the roaring fans. She quickly slides inside the ring raising a finger in the air before she jumps to the top of the ropes and does a backflip off of it.
Lauren: Another chapter in the story of speed versus power. Which will prevail?
Oscar: Well we are soon to find out as these two ladies have just locked up.
Lauren: Mrs. Right with a quick advantage as she is able to lift Crystal up into the air and hits a stalling suplex. Crystal gets to her knees pretty quickly but Mrs. Right continues to press the attack by moving in and helping Crystal up just to whip her into the ropes and on the rebound catches her lifting Crystal up on her shoulders and hitting a Samoan drop.
Oscar: High impact moves early. Mrs. Right is trying to make an early impact to say the least.
Lauren: Crystal rolls toward the ropes but is stopped by Mrs. Right who grabs her and applies a camel clutch. Mrs. Right really clinches the hold and pulls back hard on the chin while seated on Crystal. After a few minutes Crystal manages to get her foot on the bottom rope.
Oscar: Oh the referee just saw the foot and is calling for the break. Mrs. Right looks back at Crystal’s foot with a bit of frustration on her face.
Lauren: As the two women get back to their feet, Mrs. Right goes for a standing clothesline but Crystal ducks under. As they turn to face each other again, Mrs. Right lands a kick to the midsection and then moves in and hits a double arm ddt. With Crystal down, Mrs. Right moves in quickly and applies a figure four arm bar.
Oscar: I see it, Mrs. Right is focusing on the arms of Crystal her.
Lauren: She could be looking for her “The Right Submission” at some point.
Oscar: Oh and Crystal just gets her foot back on the ropes again to break the hold.
Lauren: This time Crystal has rolled out of the ring and is shaking out her arm.
Oscar: Mrs. Right is in pursuit as she rolls out of the ring and the referee begins his count. Crystal turns to face Mrs. Right and as she closes the distance between the two of them. Crystal goes for a kick, but it's caught by Mrs. Right. As Crystal hops on one foot for a moment she is able to get her momentum and hits an enziguri. Knocking Mrs. Right down to the floor. Crystal gets up and rolls back into the ring as the referee continues his count.
Referee: 5….6...7….

Missy: Your winner of the match by Pinfall… Crystal Hilton!!!
The camera moves backstage to catch the Bad Boys, Erik Staggs, Eyesnsane, Mickey Carroll, Gianni Di Luca, and Dax Beckett, standing in the catering area. Dax is picking food off of the table and shoving it into his mouth shamelessly. He then moves onto shoving some of it into his pants, while the others look at him, stunned. He turns to them and tries to speak.
Dax: Whhhuhhhh der herkawyer wookern a?
Gianni: Bro, ya think you can shove any more-uh that into ya mouth?
Mickey: Oh, ‘e can shove a lot into ‘is mouth, trust me.
Eyesnsane: Too much information, man…
The camera turns to the side a bit to see Marissa Henry walking into the shot with a microphone in her hand. She stops and looks at Dax as he continues to shovel food into his pockets.
Marissa: Does he know that this food is for everyone?
Erik: Clearly he doesn’t care, because the Bad Boys do what the Bad Boys want to do. We’ve made no bones about it since the day that we arrived in Honor. We’ve heard the scared men running around here, running their mouths about all of the things that they’re going to do, or just plain running. Dax’s hedonistic ways are a metaphor. We see something that we want, and we take it. Dax wants more than he can chew, so he’s going to go after Alex Jones and the Honor Championship.
Marissa: That’s… interesting news. But we’ve heard from Earl Lockyer earlier tonight, and he’s quite tired of dealing with the constant runaround that you guys are giving him. He wants Tim Staggs, and the rest of you guys are just in his way. What does that say about Tim, other than perhaps a yellow streak of cowardice?
Erik smirks, but he is clearly up to no good. He rubs his chin in frustration as he looks back at Dax, continuously taking any bit of food he can get his hands on. Erik finally turns back and winks at Marissa.
Erik: I see what you did there. My nephew? He is not a coward. Anyone who claims that he’s a coward needs to learn what it means to be an empathetic human being. He’s just had his first and only child with the love of his life. He and his wife are taking a few weeks to be good parents before “daddy” goes back to work. What kind of heartless sons of bitches actually thinks that Tim is dodging them? What kind of sense does that even make? Do the bottom feeders of society who flip burgers at McDonald’s, single mothers-to-be who can’t stand the chainsmoker who always bitches about not getting enough free sauce with their disgusting McShit Strips, who take a week off for maternity leave get accused of dodging the inconsiderate asshole at the window?
Marissa: And what exactly does this…?
Erik: No! The girl who got a little bit too loose and got herself knocked up, will eventually return to work, serving overweight America their plaque-building fake burgers. She will press the cup against the little soda thing, and she will force that shit eating smile on her face… because it’s her job. And Tim will do the exact same thing. He will return when he feels his child has been safely brought into this world. But not a moment sooner. I think we’re done here…
Dax: Ir’m not…
Erik walks over to Dax and pulls him by the ear. They waste no time as they leave Marissa Henry standing there. Marissa watches them walk off, and she just shakes her head.
Missy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the Honor Championship! Introducing first, from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, standing at 6’5” and weighing in at 256lb, he is Earl Lockyer!!!

Missy: And his opponent, from Dallas, Texas, standing at 6’ and 225lb, he is your Honor Champion, “The Black Dragon” Alex Jones!!!
He stops in the center of the stage and throws his hand down onto it dropping to one knee as pyros explode from either side. He slowly looks up from this position and slides to his feet throwing his hand out and spinning around to show the back of his shirt that reads "Turn up, steal the show, f@#$ bitches, repeat" He makes his way to the apron and leaps up onto it before spinning leaning his back against the top rope, he hooks his leg around the middle rope stepping on the bottom one to slide and bounce into the ring.

Oscar: The referee steps in the way, and Earl narrowly misses hitting him, and for a second it looks like he’s actually aiming for him.

He nods his head and then shouts an obscenity across the ring at him. Alex laughs before darting across the ring with a Spear of his own. He begins throwing punch after punch at Earl, landing each one!

Lauren: The referee is going to have to fight harder to maintain control with these two. Alex doesn’t lose anything by getting disqualified. Thankfully for the fans, Earl begins fighting back, tossing Alex into the corner. He gets in a few right and left hooks before spinning around with a powerful Lariat that causes Alex to slump over in the corner a bit. Earl runs forward, and goes for a Big Boot, but Alex rolls out of the way. Earl racks himself on the turnbuckle and slumps over. Alex moves toward Earl, but Sarah gets on the apron.

However, Alex kips up into a Hurricanrana that brings Earl down to the mat. The crowd cheers as Alex moves back to his feet. He locks on a Figure Four with determination. Earl is in the center of the ring, and Alex isn’t budging!
Lauren: Sarah pounds the mat in frustration, shouting out to Earl. However, as Earl inches his way across the mat, a look of pain on his face, Sarah climbs onto the apron once more. The referee shouts at her as she kicks something over toward Earl. Earl flails his arms around, growling in agony as he picks it up. He reaches over and punches Alex in the face once, stunning him. He punches him once more, busting him open slightly. A third punch allows him to break out of the hold. He tosses them outside of the ring as he rolls Alex over onto his back. He hooks the leg and Sarah drops down as the referee holds up one more finger. He drops down for the count.

Thr...KICKOUT!
Oscar: The crowd is going nuts as Alex gets his shoulder up. Earl shouts out angrily as he begins hitting Alex in the forehead with rapid, hard punches. Alex tries his best to block them and stop himself from being busted open further. Earl yanks him up by his hair and shouts into his face as he flings him across the ring. He goes for a clothesline on the rebound, but Alex ducks it. As he comes off of the ropes once more, he comes off with a Spinning Neckbreaker. Alex looks to the corner, darting up to the top rope. He looks back at Earl and steadies himself on the top rope. He walks across it and then jumps off with a Flying Double Leg Stomp! And he hooks the leg!

Kickout!
Lauren: Earl gets his leg up. Alex bounces off of the ropes, but Sarah grabs onto his leg, tripping him up a bit. The referee leans over the ropes and points to the back. Sarah argues with him, but he threatens disqualification on Earl. Sarah doesn’t like it, but she begrudgingly moves to the back. As the referee watches her, someone in a white hooded jacket rolls inside of the ring. Alex stands on defense, but the hooded figure sizes up Earl, throwing his hood back to reveal Tim Staggs! He hits the Untitled No. 2 (Stunner) before sliding outside of the ring. He smiles wickedly as Sarah points at the atrocity inside of the ring. It is too late as Alex picks Earl up and hits “The Dragon Sleeps” (A pedigree) on Earl, pinning his shoulders to the mat.

Ding! Ding! Ding!
Missy: Here is your winner and still your Honor Champion… Alex Jones!!!
Alex celebrates without taking one eye off of Tim. Alex takes his belt back and holds it up into the air. Tim rolls inside of the ring and drops down, hunching over Earl as he shouts in his face. Alex smiles and shakes his head as he exits the ring, leaving him to it. Tim smacks the side of Earl’s head as he continues to shout.
Tim: You think I’m a coward, huh? I got the balls! Well, here I am, Earl! What you gonna do now with your lights knocked out? How’s this for a coward, Earl? Do something!
Tim takes a deep breath as he leans up, standing over Earl as he puts a foot on his chest. He looks down at Earl and grabs his crotch. He shakes for a second before pointing down at Earl. He looks out into the crowd and smiles wickedly.
Missy: The following match is scheduled for one fall.
What's that metronome I hear,
Perhaps the end is drawing near,
You never hear the shot that takes you down.
Winter walks down to the pace of the beat.
Out of time, so say goodbye,
What is yours, now is mine,
And I dream broken dreams,
I make them come true,
I make them for you.
Missy: On her way to the ring, from the Snowy Mountains of Canada, Winter Elemental
Winter howls like a wolf as some fans howl back as she continues to walk down the ramp
Bad dreams come true, I make them for you (make them come true)
Bad dreams come true, I make them for you (I make dreams come true)
Bad dreams come true, I make them for you (make them come true)
Bad dreams come true, I make them for you.
Winter gets in the ring. climbs the turnbuckle as she starts to howl for her wolves, They howl back.
Out of time, so say goodbye,
What is yours, now is mine,
Winter climbs down as the music fades out. She walks over to the corner waiting for Vargas to arrive.
Suddenly, the arena lights turn off and the crowd is hyped up for what was in store. As the opening of “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” by U2 blares across the PA system, the mood of the crowd changes instantly and the arena is under the subtle glowing of the lights. As the lyrics finally kick in, a figure emerges; the highlight of their attire is being under the illusion. Mercedes Vargas stops short of the entrance ramp, hands on waist, and overlooking the crowd.
Missy: And her opponent, making her way to the ring, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, weighing in at 125 pounds…She is the Women’s Honor Champion… MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS!
Cheers, boos, and catcalls soon greet her. Oblivious and yet satisfied with their reaction for several seconds, she flips her long hair, then makes her way to the ring. As she goes up the steps and walks to the end of the ring apron, she climbs to the turnbuckle, then turns her head back as the camera shows her determined expression-perhaps a message that her opponent will be in for a tough fight. She vaults into the ring and walks over to the opposite corner where she relaxes along the corner ropes while staring down Winter.
