EXT. EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE FROM BAPTIZED IN BLOOD - THE BACKSTAGE AREA OF THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX Rowan Blackwood had retained her championship in a grueling ladder match and after being checked out by Dr. Curtis Everill she was helped to the backstage area by Alix Stavros and Elias Barnes. Waiting to greet the gorgeous redhead was her love, the recently freed from prison Zander Blackwood. At first, Rowan didn't see her man. But when she felt herself being taken from Elias and Alix, her eyes shot open. Her hands touched his face. ROWAN BLACKWOOD: “You’re here? Really?” Zander didn't answer with his words. He folded his arms protectively around Rowan and pulled her close. He was never going to let her go again. Their separation had taken its toll on Zander, but he would never admit that out loud. He brushed a gentle kiss across her forehead and smiled. It was his first real smile in weeks. ZANDER BLACKWOOD: “I’m here and it's over.” Rowan’s face broke into a huge grin and she leapt into Zander’s arms, her legs wrapping around his waist. She buried her face into his neck and closed her eyes. It didn't matter to either one of them that she was covered in blood and sweat. ROWAN BLACKWOOD: “I love you so much.” ZANDER BLACKWOOD: “And I love you.” He sat Rowan down and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a small box. Okay, so perhaps Zander hadn't come straight to the Ultraviolent Complex. There had been a pit stop at their apartment on the way. Zander took a knee and took Rowan’s hand. ZANDER BLACKWOOD: “There's nothing in this world that I wouldn't do for you. You're the love of my life. You're my reason for being alive. I want to marry you. Again. Will you be my wife, again?” Zander popped open the box and Rowan’s title fell from her hands. She gasped at the gorgeous ring Zander had chosen just for her. Tears filled her eyes and she dropped down to her knees. ROWAN BLACKWOOD: “Yes.” The fucked-up couple sealed their vow renewal promise with a kiss and Zander slipped the ring on Rowan’s finger. It was so adorable.
CUT TO INT. FAN UPLOADED YOUTUBE FOOTAGE The video feed is fuzzy at first but two women can be heard arguing. Once the cellphone footage comes into focus. Paige and Eve are seen standing in front of the Ultraviolent Complex and to say their conversation is intense would be an understatement. PAIGE: “I already told you that after tonight, I’m done with Alex. What more do you want from me?” Eve throws her hands up in the air, completely exasperated. EVE: “I just want to know why it came to this in the first place, Paige! I’ve always supported you and your dreams, but you’re a different person right now. She’s changed you.” PAIGE: “Is that a bad thing? I’m winning matches. I’m moving up to some type of title shot. Alex did right by me here for So-Cal. But I’m throwing it all away, just for you. So stop fucking worrying about whether or not I’ve changed. I’m still the woman you married.” Eve just shook her head. EVE: “No, you’re really not. Did you fuck her?” Paige blinks. PAIGE: “Excuse me? Where the fuck did that come from?” EVE: “Just answer the goddamn question. You can deflect all you want, but there are rumors. There has been footage. Trixie sent us that letter for a reason and I need to know. Have you fucked Alex?” Paige glared at Eve. Eve glared back. Everything was crumbling around Paige, and the petite blond in front of her was ready to snap. PAIGE: “I can’t do this anymore.” EVE: “Do what?!” PAIGE: “Deal with this crap! I bust my ass every single show and I do not deserve to come home to someone who doesn’t give a shit about my career. All you have done is complain this entire time and I’m done with it.” Eve looks a little shocked. EVE: “What are you saying?” PAIGE: “What I’m saying is that I’ve bent over backwards to try and please you. I’ve offered to cut ties with Alex after tonight and that’s still not good enough for. You’re demanding to know if I’ve fucked her or not, once again showing that nothing I do is good enough for you. I’m not going to cut ties with Alex. Regardless of what I do, you’re still going to be pissed.” EVE: “If you don’t cut ties with Alex, I’m leaving you.” Paige looked down at her left hand and pulled off her wedding ring. She slapped it in Eve’s hand. PAIGE: “Enjoy your night.”
CUT TO INT. THE BACKSTAGE AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS VOICE (O.S.): “I can't fucking believe someone recorded that. Like are you fucking kidding me? That voice belongs to Paige and she's absolutely livid. She's backstage at the Ultraviolent Complex, pacing around in front of the women’s lockerroom. She's clutching her phone in her hand. Alex Covington is also in the picture and she's just shaking her head. ALEX COVINGTON: “It’s definitely an unfortunate situation but you did what had to be done. Why hide it? You're going places Paige, and Eve was holding you back. You're in the prime of your career and all she did was complain about how you were getting there.” Paige stopped pacing and cut her dark eyes at Alex. The businesswoman didn't look very apologetic. Paige sighs. PAIGE: “But Eve doesn't deserve to have it all over the Internet. That's our private life. That's our business.” Alex shrugs. ALEX COVINGTON: “It’s a cut throat world out there and fans are insane. Eve will bounce back and you will both move on. This is for the best.” Paige wasn't so sure. PAIGE: “Then why do I feel so shitty?” Alex wrapped an arm around Paige and pulled her close. ALEX COVINGTON: “You'll get over it. Whatever your feeling, suppress it and save it. Now let's go get you ready for your match with Xalvador.” Paige merely nods and the two disappear into the lockerroom.
CUT TO NOW PLAYING: “NOW THAT WE’RE DEAD” by METALLICA -The chaos of the battle royal begins the package. Lexi Sheckler, Tiffany, Toma Knupp and Aliyah Turner all being featured prominently. Until Tiffany was eliminated by Toma Knupp. Toma was quickly eliminated after by both Lexi Sheckler and Aliyah Turner, and then Aliyah Turner eventually eliminating Lexi Sheckler. -The culmination of the rivalry between Trixie and Paige taking place in front of our eyes. Trixie Law coming out in full force, met by Paige and her motorcycle. The match went back and forth highlighted by Trixie’s devastating DDT to Paige on the cement floor, and Paige ultimately knocking Trixie out with her own Brick-loaded Bag. -The Ladder war for the Trans-Pacific championship is featured next. Rowan Blackwood and Tommy Knox taking each other through hell, using the ladders as weapons to torture the other. The ending came when Rowan lept from the top rope and landed on the ladder, cutting off Knox. After exchanging punches, they both hold onto the title when the ladder falls from beneath them. Both hang in mid-air until Rowan lands two knee shots to Knox’s privates causing him to fall, and allowing her to retrieve her title. -Next would be the Taipei Death Match for the Ultraviolent Championship. Los Renegados’ own Dick Devereaux vs Ashtyn Rave vs Reece Crosslin. All three battled and vicious bloody battle and all three had their shining moments. Noah Reigner and Rumble Reyes would make their presence known, but it was Ashtyn Rave who sacrificed herself by diving to the outside onto them. Reece would put Devereaux in the California Sunrise for the championship win!
CUT TO NOW PLAYING: “VOICES” by MOTIONLESS IN WHITE “... time and time again drug addict failure taking another stab in the dark to try and turn his life around …” A clip of Zane Foster stepping out of a car in front of the Ultraviolent Complex shows. “...it demeans my efforts in the eyes of every single person who’s stood by laughing the last five years watching me descend into this tailspin of disaster and isolation…” Walking into the guerilla area, his head is lowered and he hears the roar of the Ultraviolent Faithful. “... This time, I guarantee you, I will NOT give them that satisfaction …” Head up. Eyes focused on the camera.
ZANE FOSTER
MATCH ONE:Eliza Dresden Vs. Zane Foster Eliza Dresden stands with one foot on the top rope, playing to the crowd and getting them to stand and cheer as ‘Never Look Back’ fades out. She turns her attention to Zane Foster on the inside of the ring and leaps off the ropes with a missile dropkick to get the match started! Zane is stunned early and Eliza capitalizes by bouncing off the ropes and hitting two more dropkicks, each knocking Zane down. She waits for Zane to get back to his feet before bouncing off the ropes one more time. Whatever move she was looking for, she does not get to hit as Zane leapfrogs over her. She hits the ropes behind him and sticks her right arm out for a clothesline, but Zane spins to her right and levels her with a spinning heel kick. It caught her right on the jaw and her hands instinctively goes there. Zane wastes no time in taking advantage, hitting the ropes and hitting her in the ribs with a baseball slide, knocking the wind out of her. He lifts her up and quickly applies a snap suplex before floating over for the cover, but only gets a two count. This doesn’t deter him and he goes for a second suplex, this one a Northern lights suplex which he bridges into a pin for another two count. Eliza is barely getting her shoulder up before the three count each time and Zane knows he has to continue to apply the pressure. He pulls her closer to the ring edge and uses the second rope as a springboard to plant both his knees in her chest and stomach, knocking the wind out of her a second time. He picks her up and seats himself on the top turnbuckle. He looks out to the crowd and hurls himself off the ropes, planting Eliza with a tornado DDT. Instead of going for another quick cover, he runs at the ropes and rebounds with a legdrop across the throat. He shirks the pin again to hit the ropes, this time landing on her with a senton. He gets up a third time, this time springboarding off the second rope for splash. He hooks the leg on this cover, but again Eliza’s shoulder rolls up at three. After that onslaught, Zane needs a breather himself and puts all of his bodyweight into a rear chin lock. Zane is able to catch his breath, but evidently he isn’t cranking it in enough because Eliza shows signs of life as the crowd gets behind her. She finally makes it to her feet and buries a couple of elbows into the stomach of Zane before teeing off on his chest with a series of chops. She lands a punch right to his jaw but Zane fires back with one of his own. The two trade punches until Zane decides to go low and aims a kick to Eliza’s stomach, but she catches him by the boot. She takes too long to decide what her next move is though, as Zane leap in the air and connects an enziguri kick to the back of her head. Eliza stumbles into the ropes and she’s out on her feet. The next kick Zane aims at her hits square in the middle of the stomach and while she’s doubled over he underhooks both her arms. THE FINAL CALL! It’s academic this time as the referee counts the easy three. WINNER: Zane Foster
CUT TO INT. THE BASEMENT - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS Security team member Lindsay Pierce and head referee AJ Cross are seen standing together in the small basement of the Ultraviolent Complex. Lindsay wears a determined look on her face as she listens to whatever it is that AJ is saying. The cameras aren't picking up the conversation. At one point, AJ gets a phone call and moves out of the picture to take it. When that happens, Lindsay starts scrolling through her phone. She pauses, brow furrowing. When AJ walks back into the picture, Lindsay shares what she had been looking at. AJ takes a moment to process whatever it is that's on Lindsay’s phone and slowly, a smile spreads across his face. Lindsay smirks in reply and their conversation resumes, more animated than before.
CUT TO INT. THE PARKING LOT AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS SCUV’s Television Champion, Linc Coyne, is leaning against the side of the Ultraviolent Complex. As soon as he sees a modest 2013 Toyota Prius pull up, he puts his cigarette out against the side of the building and begins making his way towards the car. The driver’s side door opens before Linc gets there and the mother of his child, Marianne gets out. Linc greets her with a smile and a wave, but it's the gorgeous little girl in the back, beating on the window who gets his full attention. “DADDY DADDY DADDEEEEEEEEEEEE!” Little Delilah Coyne holds out her arms as Linc opens the backseat of Marianne’s car. He unbuckles his daughter from her car seat and scoops her up in his arms. Marianne takes her time gathering their stuff. Linc watches her all the while Delilah is rambling about some cat she saw on the side of the road. DELILAH: “I think it was sleeping.” Linc raised an eyebrow. LINC COYNE: “Or dead. It was probably dead if it was on the road.” MARIANNE: “Really, Linc?” LINC COYNE: “She is old enough to know the difference between life and death, Mare.” ‘Dead cat’ Linc mouths to Delilah while Marianne has her back turned. The little girl giggles and nuzzles her face against Linc’s neck. MARIANNE: “You know, it’s against my better judgment that we are even here.” LINC COYNE: “I wasn’t sure you would accept my offer.” MARIANNE: “Your daughter wanted to see her father and since you never bother to come visit, I figured this would be the only way.” Linc’s expression softened a bit. LINC COYNE: “I’m trying, Mare. I’m just busy…” Marianne cut him off with a glare. MARIANNE: “Save it, Lincoln. We are going to watch your match but after the show, you and I are going to have a long conversation. Alright?” Linc nodded. There wasn’t anything he could really say in response.
CUT TO INT. THE BACKSTAGE AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS Damon Xalvador is seen making his way towards the entrance to the ring. The Scottish brawler is carrying a steel chair and he looks determined to better his performance from Baptized in Blood. As he's about to make his way out from behind the curtain, Tara Jacobs stops him. TARA JACOBS: “Real quick, Damon. Can you tell us your gameplay for your match that's about to start? Paige is becoming quite the threat here in So-Cal Ultraviolent and despite the fact she's still suffering from a broken hand, people feel she's the favorite to walk away with the victory tonight.” Damon looks down at Tara and glares. His music has started playing. He looks at Tara’s microphone and then back up at the pretty reporter. He narrows his eyes and makes his way through the curtains. Tara just shakes her head. TARA JACOBS: “He's a man of few words.”
MATCH TWO:Paige Vs. Damon Xalvador “Get Your Gunn” by Marilyn Manson hits the notoriously shitty So-Cal PA system and Damon Xalvador makes his way down to the ring. He climbs in the ring, holds up the chair, and glares towards the entrance as his music fades. “Tempest” by the Deftones begins to play and thank God this time it's the actual song. It's not a shitty live version by San Diego’s favorite son, 2-Pang. Paige literally has no emotion on her face. Alex Covington appears by her side and whispers something into Paige’s ear. Once she pulls back, Paige cracks her neck she sprints down to the ring. Xalvador immediately swings his chair but Paige pulls his feet out from underneath him! Referee Adriana Martinez calls for the bell. Over and over Paige smashes her cast into Xalvador’s face until he's bleeding from his nose. Xalvador senses he's been busted open and he muscles Paige off of him. He checks his nose of course he does see the blood. Irritated, Damon goes to get to his feet but Paige is right there. She goes to slam that cast into his face again, but Xalvador blocks and jerks her arm back. He blocks a shot from Paige’s good hand and clubs her in the chest. Paige goes down and Damon shakes off the effects of her early assault. He stomps on Paige’s chest a few times before he bends down and retrieves her. Paige finds herself tossed into the corner and stomped down into a sitting position. Damon backs up a bit and charges forward; his knee connecting with Paige’s face. Paige slumps over and forces herself to the outside.
CUT TO INT. THE RINGSIDE AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS Sitting in the small ‘Friends and Family’ section is the beautiful Eve. She's right up front for this show and there's no emotion on her face. Her beautiful blue eyes are glued to the ring and as Xalvador rolls out of the ring to follow Paige, she doesn't react. When Damon grabs his steel chair, she still doesn't react. But when Damon grabs Paige by the hair and throws her against the ring post, Eve sits up a little straighter. When Damon winds up to slam the chair into Paige’s face and connects with the steel ring post instead, the tiniest flicker of relief flashes across the blonde’s face.
CUT TO The chair falls from Damon’s hands and having just gotten a second chance at life during this match, Paige throws her foot up and connects with a super kick. Damon staggers back and Paige jumps on the steps, hops onto the ring apron, and launches herself off. Her cast connects with the top of Damon’s head and the big man goes down. Paige knows she can't win the match on the outside, so she lugs all 229-pounds of Damon Xalvador back into the ring. Due to the fact she has really one arm, it took Paige a bit longer than necessary to get him back into the ring. By the time she goes to pin, Damon is already kicking out. Adriana never even got to one. Paige is not deterred through, and Alex just nods her head in encouragement from the top of the entrance. She’s been standing there and watching the entire time. Paige pulls Damon up by the hair and throws him towards the corner. She places several precise kicks to his midsection and backs up for a splash. Damon is able to move out of the way and Paige’s face bounces off the turnbuckle. Damon grabs her by her brunette locks and spikes her down to the mat with a reverse DDT. He drops down and goes for the cover. 1… 2… Paige gets the shoulder up! Damon snarls at Adriana but she doesn’t react. She’s not going to let anyone intimidate her. Damon gets back to his feet and looks around for his chair. He spies it on the outside but instead of going to get it, he drops down to one knee and pulls a small object out of his wrestling boot. It’s a razorblade and his intentions are pure evil. As Alex sees the light reflecting off the blade in Damon’s hands, she takes off down to the ring.
CUT TO INT. THE RINGSIDE AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS Eve’s expressions are no longer neutral. As she watches Alex jump on the ring apron and scream at Damon Xalvador, she feels rage mixed with hurt. Part of her wishes Xalvador would knock Alex right off that apron. The people around Eve are watching her watch the action in the ring. The entire So-Cal Universe has seen the video of her break-up at this point. Damon and Alex are arguing back and forth and when Damon lunges for Alex, Eve’s blue eyes cut right to Paige. Paige was in the process of pulling herself up with the ropes. Eve’s heart breaks a little more as Paige rushes for Damon, right as the massive warrior lunges for Alex. She doesn’t need to see anymore. The tiny blond gets out of her seat and begins to push her way through the crowd, towards the exit.
CUT TO Alex jumps to the ground as Damon swings and misses. Paige slams into him from behind. Damon hits the ropes chest-first and stumbles back, and Paige slams into him from behind. Alex reaches under the ropes and jerks Damon’s legs out from under him and he falls back. Paige drives her knee into Damon’s face which causes him to start bleeding from the nose again. Alex has retrieved the chair and slides it into the ring to Paige. Paige picks it up and as she does that, Damon sits up. His hand shoots up and grips Paige around the throat. Paige wisely brings her foot up between Damon’s legs and he lets her go, dropping down to his knees. Paige takes the chair and slams it over Damon’s head and he falls back. She tosses the chair and falls down on top of him. 1… 2… 3!!!! WINNER: Paige
CUT TO INT. THE BACKSTAGE AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS The Ultraviolent Champion, Reece Crosslin, sits backstage with Samantha Baltimore. He’s already geared up and ready to go later tonight, and the championship he covets so much is being held and admired by Samantha. SAMANTHA BALTIMORE “It looks even better than the first time you held the title, babe.” REECE CROSSLIN “And you know, it means so much more this time.” SAMANTHA BALTIMORE “What do you mean?” REECE CROSSLIN “Well. For one, I’m the first ever two-time Ultraviolent champion. So that’s huge. And two, I defeated Julian Cortez’s hand-picked “champion” in order to win it.” Samantha cringed when Reece brought up Julian. Reece noticed and smiled, before placing a hand on her knee. REECE CROSSLIN “Don’t worry, babe. Baptized in Blood was just the start. We’re taking over this company again, don’t you worry.” SAMANTHA BALTIMORE “He needs to go. So Cal isn’t the same as it used to be.” REECE CROSSLIN “It will return that way soon. There’s no way I’m bringing in a little one with Cortez letting his psycho’s run the asylum.” Samantha smiled at his play on words.
CUT TO INT. THE BACKSTAGE AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS A defeated Damon Xalvador is walking backstage after his match. His hair is falling in face and honestly he's giving off super unapproachable vibes. For whatever reason, this doesn't deter Tara Jacobs from walking up to him and once again trying to get an interview. TARA JACOBS: “Damon, that was a tough loss out there.” Damon jerks his head up and glares down at Tara. He looks like he's about to say something but as he goes to speak, a giggling beauty with ice blond hair pops into the picture. BLONDE: “Hey there.” She looks Damon up and down, running her tongue across her black lips. Tara sees an actual giant walking up behind Damon Xalvador and the reporter’s eyes grow wide with fear. She takes off which leaves Damon confused, and this alternative little pixie tilts her head to the side. BLONDE: “You probably shouldn't look behind you.” Well obviously Damon looks behind him. A 6’8” monster stands there with a horrible smile across his face. Before Xalvador can react, he's knocked unconscious thanks to a chain wrapped around this guy’s large fist. Although to be honest, he probably didn't need a chain to knock Xalvador out. The blonde - known to the wrestling world as Alicia Frost - looks up at the man, known as Frost. She's got stars in her eyes. Stepping back she motions for him to finish off Damon Xalvador. Frost lifts up the dead weight of Damon Xalvador and begins to set him up for “Hell House.” Elias Barnes, Alix Stavros, and Lindsay Pierce come rushing to the scene. The three security guards take one look at Frost and Alicia and stop in their tracks. ELIAS BARNES: “You know what? I think we’re good.” Damon Xalvador’s face bounces off Frost’s knee and he hits the ground with a dramatic thud.
CUT TO INT. THE CATERING AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS Gunnar Erikssen and Philip Corvington III are backstage in the catering area. Philip is watching Gunnar in pure disgusting as his client shoves fries and Big Macs into his mouth. There’s a fancy catering table as well, and Cook is standing beside it. But once again, no one has touched his Food Network recipes. PHILIP CORVINGTON III: “Ugh, could you like stop for just a minute? I’m trying to go over this with you.” GUNNAR ERIKSSEN: “Is nothing to discuss. They pay.” Philip sighed, clearly exhausted with Gunnar’s lack of focus. Granted, the man’s now ex-girlfriend had private pictures splashed all over the Internet and his best friend was presumed dead. But still. Philip needed Gunnar to get his life together. PHILIP CORVINGTON III: “Hailey Banks and Aiden Van’t Hoff have made a mockery out of both of us. They kidnapped me for that bloody, little tart of a sheila and poked at your misery. Remember Aiden flashing Emily’s pictures across the video screen for the entire Ultraviolent Complex to see?” Gunnar stopped mid-chew and dropped his french fry. PHILIP CORVINGTON III: “Exactly.” Before Gunnar could reply, Alex Covington walked into the picture. Gunnar couldn’t help but give her an appreciative look. She was stunning. Alex winked at The Icelandic Warrior and smiled at Philip. ALEX COVINGTON: “You never responded to my email, Philip. So I thought I would seek you out personally. The tag team division in So-Cal is no longer a rumour. It’s here and Aliyah Turner and Lexi Sheckler will be involved in the first ever tag team title match.” PHILIP CORVINGTON III: “But that has nothing to do with either one of us, or our clients.” Alex gave Gunnar a once over and he smirked back at her. Philip rolled his eyes. ALEX COVINGTON: “But it could. Whichever team walks away with the titles, they will need challengers. Paige and Gunnar are the perfect team to do that. Their combination of strength, experience, power, agility, and aggression make them the perfect duo. You know it, I know it. Paige knows it. And I’m pretty sure this one right here….” Alex pats Gunnar on the shoulder and gives it a squeeze. ALEX COVINGTON: “... will agree as well.” Gunnar was definitely intrigued by this proposal, as was Philip. But Philip played it cool. PHILIP CORVINGTON III: “We’ll definitely take everything into consideration and I promise you, I’ll be touch.” Alex knew when to back off. She turned her attention to Gunnar and gave him a seductive smile, before sashaying off knowing damn well the powerful wrestler was watching her walk away. Gunnar had a shit-eating grin on his face. GUNNAR ERIKSSEN: “I fuck her.” PHILIP CORVINGTON III: “Oh for God’s sakes.” He shook his head. PHILIP CORVINGTON III: “She’s GAY.”
MATCH THREE:Zahra Phoenix Vs. Ryker Rylee Vs. Hailey Banks Hailey is out first with Aiden following her. Zahra is out next, Matthias follows her but takes a seat next to the commentary table. Ryker is out last, followed by no one. Ryker climbs into the ring with a confident look on his face as he eyes the two gorgeous women that he stands in front of. The bell sounds and immediately, Hailey goes right for Ryker, locking up with the man who’s almost a whole foot taller than her. Not sure what she was thinking, because he easily overpowers her and shoves her into the corner. Unusually, wrestling cleanly, he backs away with arms raised and blows a kiss in her direction followed by a wink. Hailey explodes out of the corner, and seeing this Ryker throws a wild haymaker, which Hailey ducks underneath - grabbing his legs as she moves around him - and trips him down with a takedown. Hailey didn’t gain control because Zahra came over and dropkicked the Arizona native in the back of the head. Hailey face planted, but immediately began to work herself up. Zahra now began to fight Ryker, clubbing him in the back until he pushed his way vertical. He turned to face her, and drew back for a punch - but Zahra immediately ducked away and between the ropes. Ryker dropped his hand, staring at Zahra as she cautiously re-entered the ring. That’s when she got brave. She marched right up to Ryker, yelling “don’t you fucking hit me. You piece of shit!”. Ryker just smiled as Zahra went on. But this distraction allowed Hailey to hit Ryker from behind with a dropkick. The impact pushed him forward and into Zahra, who was knocked down in the process. Ryker dropped to a knee, Hailey shot up to her feet and sprinted across the ring. She hit the ropes, Zahra watching as he pushed herself up to her feet. Hailey came back to Ryker, looking to hit Ryker with a running knee. Ryker, though, blocked the shot and shot back up to his feet, hitting Hailey with an incredibly stiff uppercut that knocks the blonde off of her feet completely. Zahra moves to Ryker, but then walks right past him and begins to lay in the boots to Hailey. Zahra backs up a few feet, allowing Hailey to sit up. That’s when Zahra jogs forward and hits Hailey with a hard soccer style kick that connected perfectly with Hailey’s chest. The impact knocked the wind from Hailey’s lungs and made Aiden cringe on the outside of the ring. Ryker grabbed Zahra’s purple hair and dragged her into the center of the ring. Zahra spun out of Ryker’s grip, but immediately ate an uppercut, It wasn’t as stiff as the one he gave to Hailey, it didn’t knock Zahra on her ass. It staggered her back, which is when she became victim to a series of shoot kicks from Ryker. He saw his opponent in a weakened position, so he turned and ran to the ropes. Bouncing off of them, he came back - only to be caught with an enzuigiri! Ryker dropped to a knee, and Zahra pulled herself up to her feet. Zahra wrapped her arm around Ryker’s head and pointed into the corner before running in that direction. Zahra jumped and hit a perfect bulldog that drove Ryker’s head into the middle turnbuckle. Zahra dove through the top and middle ropes, perfectly landing on her feet on the outside. Throwing her arms out to her side, she taunted to the crowd before her eyes shoot to Matthias. Smiling and winking his way, she dropped her arms and turned around… TO HAILEY SUICIDE DIVING THROUGH THE ROPES! Hailey crashed hard on Zahra, and both women lay out on the ground. Ryker took his time getting up from the bulldog, noticing that neither woman were surrounding him trying to wear him down. Standing up, he looked to the outside and watched as both Zahra and Hailey climbed to their feet. Once vertical, they both began to trade strikes. Back and forth, Hailey and Zahra. The fans in the Complex cheer Hailey’s strikes, boo Zahra’s. Matthias inches closer to the edge of his seat and Aiden begins to move closer to the two. The striking exchange speeds up until Zahra attempts an ill-timed kick. Hailey avoids that and closes in, landing multiple strikes in succession. This backs Zahra up, and Hailey lets out a warrior’s yell before charging to her foe … Only for Zahra to lift her up, and letting her drop throat first on the crowd barrier! Hailey crumbles to the mat and Aiden quickly moves in to check on her. The fans boo and Zahra yells down, “what now, bitch? You’re not so fuckin’ good!”. She berates Hailey more, but doesn’t notice Ryker moving closer to her - still in the ring. He reaches through the ropes, grabbing her hair again and literally pulling her up and into the ring. Tossing her down to the ground, he bounced off of the ropes and comes back, hitting a hard running knee that floored Zahra. Ryker stayed on top of Zahra, dropping an elbow to her chest before covering her. One.. Tw---
Not even a full two count before Zahra powers her shoulder up. Ryker stands up, pulling Zahra up with him - but the self-proclaimed “Queen of Wrestling” hit Ryker with a low blow that caused his grip on her to release. Zahra returned to her feet, channeling all of her power to lift Ryker and following the low blow up with an inverted atomic drop. Zahra turns and sprints to the ropes, hitting them and coming back - she hits a jumping European Uppercut that floors Ryker. Zahra is now running on adrenaline, jumping up to her feet and quickly moving into the corner. Back to Ryker, she wraps her hands around the top rope and jumps onto the middle rope. Springboarding up to the top rope, she then flips backward and hits a beautiful double jump moonsault! She doesn’t go into the pin, though. Instead she pops back up to her feet immediately dropping a leg across Ryker’s throat. She’s up again quickly and does it again. And again. And again. Zahra is quickly back up to her feet and watches as Ryker pushes himself up too. Zahra waits until he’s completely vertical before charging to him and, “FROM THE ASHES” codebreaker! Zahra’s knees drive into Ryker’s chest as they fall, and immediately she pushes him over for a cover. One… Two… Kickout! Zahra sits up and lets out a scream of frustration. She stands up and looks out, seeing Matthias telling her to continue. Turning around, she finds Ryker beginning to pull himself up to his feet. Hailey has rolled back into the ring and is up to her feet. She runs at Ryker who’s just now to his feet, jumps up and takes him down with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors takedown. Ryker rolls into the corner and Hailey is back up to her feet. Hailey turns her attention to Zahra.. Zahra turns and see’s Hailey running toward her. Using her experience to her advantage, she sidesteps Hailey’s advances, sending Hailey crashing into her own corner. Zahra quickly moves up behind her, dropping down and reaching up to roll Hailey up with a schoolgirl rollup! One.. Two… Thr--- Hailey turns her hips, moving her body weight and with Zahra’s arm still trapped, Hailey has locked in the “PRETTY DISASTER” seated fujiwara armbar! Zahra thrashes about, trying to free her arm but Hailey just wrenches it back even harder. A few more long seconds for Zahra pass and she’s just about to tap when Ryker comes in and hits Hailey directly in the face with a spinning back kick! Hailey’s body goes limp and falls to the mat. Zahra’s arm is released and she immediately rolls out of the ring, clutching at it. Ryker uses his impressive speed and agility to easily leap onto the top rope. And without a second's hesitation, he jumps off hitting a shooting star senton he calls, the “RYKER SCALE”! Moving himself backward, he drapes his arm over Hailey. One.. Two.. Three! WINNER: Ryker Rylee Aiden slips into the ring as Ryker celebrates his win. He’s kneeled next to his friend checking on her, so he doesn’t notice that Gunnar Erikssen has jumped over the crowd barrier and slides into the ring too. Gunnar was to his feet, and he grabbed the unsuspecting Aiden and lifting him to his feet where he immediately planted him with a Uranage! Aiden folded up on the mat and Gunnar’s attention turned to Hailey. Hailey had just propped herself up on her elbows, and her eyes widened when she looked up and saw Gunnar. Immediately scooting back to try and put distance between them, but it was no use. Gunnar stalked her and grabbed her by her blonde locks, ripping her up to her feet. Hailey tried to fight back, kicking and elbowing the Icelandic Warrior. All of that only angered the big man. He lifted a huge knee up to her stomach before setting her up on his shoulders… TKO! He just hit Hailey with his finisher. Popping up to his feet, he grabbed Hailey’s arm and dragged her on top of Aiden. He would then place his foot dominantly on top of both bodies and stare blankly into the jeering Ultraviolent faithful.
CUT TO INT. THE BACKSTAGE AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS Lexi Sheckler is seen with new comer to So-Cal, Patrick Miller. Lexi’s taping her hands and wrists while he watches. Once she was finished, he made sure they were wrapped appropriately before holding his hands up, allowing her to execute a very quick combination of punches. PATRICK MILLER “I think you’re ready for this.” LEXI SHECKLER “Think? Fuckin’ wrong on that one.” There was a sly smile on his face. LEXI SHECKLER “That fuckstick Finn and his bestie” - her voice cracked in a mocking tone - “..are fucking dead. Toma and I aren’t a team, but we have the same goal. To make sure these two are put six feet under.” PATRICK MILLER “That’s the Sheckler I know.” LEXI SHECKLER “And then I move on to that fucker Noah Reigner. And then, the tag titles.” Her voice was full of determination, and there was a fire in her eyes. LEXI SHECKLER “But first, these two motherfuckers.” Lexi turned and walked down the hallway with Patrick following just a few steps behind.
CUT TO INT. THE BACKSTAGE AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS Matthias Black is helping Zahra Phoenix backstage after her match. The purple-haired goddess is extremely pissed off over the events that transpired during the match and there doesn’t seem to be anything Matthias can say that will calm her down. She’s holding her arm and trying to shake off the effects of Hailey’s deadly finisher. ZAHRA PHOENIX: “Don’t give me some bullshit about things working out next time. I would never give you some shitty line like that after a loss. In fact, I always make sure you win your matches. Where the fuck were you when Hailey tried to snap my arm in half?!” Matthias went to reply, but Zahra cut him off. ZAHRA PHOENIX: “Oh that’s right. You were sitting at the broadcast booth, being completely FUCKING USELESS.” Matthias jerked them both to a stop and gripped his girlfriend’s arm tightly. MATTHIAS BLACK: “I’m not here for your goddamn attitude, Z. You better drop it. Got it?” Zahra’s eyes were full of rage and passion, but Matthias’ tone of voice let her know that he was not joking. She pursed her lips and folded her arms across her chest. MATTHIAS BLACK: “The night’s not over. Later on, we’ll get to watch Hunter pick apart Tiffany and that will make you forget about everything that happened out there.” That did perk Zahra up a little bit. ZAHRA PHOENIX: “Did you give the tape to production?” MATTHIAS BLACK: “I gave the tape to production just as you requested.” ZAHRA PHOENIX: “Good. Go down there and make sure they don’t pussy out on playing. I want her to relive that moment over and over again until she quits. People like her don’t belong here. Anyone who could even remotely be associated with Gage Landon now or in the future doesn’t need to be here.” MATTHIAS BLACK: “Agreed. Find Hunter and let her know we are good to go.” Zahra nods and turns to head towards the lockerroom. Before she leaves, Matthias takes her by the hair and jerks her head back. His free hand slaps her ass. MATTHIAS BLACK: “And Z? Don’t ever speak to me like that again.” Zahra’s eyes sparkle with lust. ZAHRA PHOENIX: “No promises.” Matthias crushes his lips to Zahra’s. The two of them are completely unaware that Tiffany’s trainer and friend, Dorian Rampage has been around the corner, and has heard their entire conversation. Once Matthias and Zahra pull apart and head off in opposite directions, Dorian follows Matthias.
CUT TO INT. LOCKER ROOM AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS Finn Whelan and Elena DeDraca are seen sitting together in the locker room. ELENA DeDRACA “Tag team titles are being introduced.” Finn looked a little distracted, but replied nevertheless. FINN WHELAN “Yeah, I heard. Lexi and Aliyah Turner have tag title shots.” ELENA DeDRACA “So we get to see how Lexi fares in tag team matches tonight, then.” Finn nodded his head. Elena continued. ELENA DeDRACA “And then maybe we challenge for them.” Finn didn’t reply, instead two things happened. One, Finn’s cell phone rang. And two, the locker room door opened and in walked Tara Jacobs. Finn looked at the screen of his phone and the name “Kei” appeared. He stood up, using Tara’s intrusion as the perfect excuse to get up and go take the call. Tara approached Elena, sitting in the now empty chair that Finn sat in previously. TARA JACOBS “Elena. I just wanted to inform you that the Television Championship match you requested, has been granted for the next Asylum. So I guess you’re going to watch the rematch between Linc and Trixie very closely, later?” Elena couldn’t help but to smile upon hearing that news. ELENA DeDRACA “Doesn’t matter who the champion is at the next Asylum. I’m coming for the title.” Finn would reappear moments later. Elena’s eyes shot up to him. FINN WHELAN “It’s match time, El. Let’s do this.” Elena nodded and rose to her feet.
CUT TO INT. THE PARKING LOT AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS Ryker Rylee, Octavia Bloom, and Orion Pine are currently in the parking lot. Orion is leaning against the 66 Ford Mustang convertible that he had driven the three to San Diego in. Octavia is sitting on the hood of the car. Ryker is sitting on top of his skateboard, which is on the ground. Orion is glued to his phone and nodding his head. ORION PINE: “Yeah, yeah, yo. Look brah, Ares is pleased. Said you did good, kid. ‘Course, he said I woulda done better but you know, it’s straight.” Octavia just shakes her head. She literally has zero time or patience for Orion right now having been forced to spend the entire afternoon in his gross company while Ryker got ready for his debut. OCTAVIA BLOOM: “Did Ares say anything else? Like maybe why we’re in So-Cal in the first place?” Ryker has mostly tuned the two of them out. He’s rolling a joint. ORION PINE: “Yo, babe. That will be revealed in due time, yo. Ares needs Ryke to get his feet wet before revealing the reasons we’re here.” OCTAVIA BLOOM: “But you do know?” ORION PINE (smirking ): “Fifty fifty baby girl. I told chu that. Ares, yo. That dude’s got some big plans for this place. But I’ll let you two in on a little insider’s secret. The people in this place, yo. They tryin’ to stage a fuckin’ hostile takeover. Tryin’ to send Cortez packin’, right out da door.” Orion motions for Ryker to light up and pass him the joint. Octavia purses her lips. Thus far, Orion has shown himself to be nothing more than a bullshitter. But she had spent enough time around the Ultraviolent Complex today to know there’s some merit to what he’s saying. She herself had seen the female referee and the guy who was the head referee meeting in the parking lot when they thought no one was around. OCTAVIA BLOOM: “So what does that have to do with us?” Ryker takes a long drag of the joint and passes it to Octavia, ignoring Orion. RYKER RYLEE: “Doesn’t matter.” OCTAVIA BLOOM: “It does matter. What else do you know?” She passes the joint to Orion, who takes a long drag of it before addressing his two comrades. ORION PINE: “Yo, girl. I probably shouldn’t be sayin’ this, but one of those hostile takeover folks, dude. They fuckin’ suckered Ares out of some money. Stole that shit right out from under the man’s nose.” Octavia looks shocked.
MATCH FOUR:Finn Whelan and Elena DeDraca Vs. Lexi Sheckler and Toma Knupp Lexi and Toma make separate entrances. Finn and Elena enter together. Lexi and Toma have a small disagreement on who is going to start this match. Finn and Elena know, Elena stands in the ring and Finn on the outside. They finally decide and it’s going to be Toma. Though it didn’t start out like a good, clean match. It wouldn’t be So Cal Ultraviolent, if it did. Lexi feigned climbing out of the ring, but instead spun around quickly and sprinted across the ring hitting Elena with a running forearm that floored her. She then immediately turned her attention to Finn, and tried the same thing. Finn dropped down to the floor, though, and reached in - grabbing Lexi’s feet and pulling her down and out of the ring. Toma moved over to Elena where he began to feed the floored competitor boots. On the outside, Finn grabbed the back of Lexi’s head and smashed it into the crowd barrier before feeding her strikes. Inside of the ring the two Television title contenders have begun to exchange strikes after Elena returned to her feet. Toma’s size and power advantage came into play after he hit Elena with a stiff strike that wobbled her. Grabbing the ‘Pale Queen’, Toma pulled her into the middle of the ring only to take her down with a russian legsweep. He kept the pressure on, dropping the point of his knee into the side of Elena’s head. Afterword, he sat on his knees and arms spread out to his sides. His head thrown back, and his eyes closed - letting the jeers from the crowd fall upon him. Soon, they’ll all realize his genius. Back on the outside of the ring, Lexi has begun to stand her own ground with Finn, both exchanging not only stiff strikes but using the environment to their advantage. Finn used the crowd barrier, whipping and slamming Lexi into it. Lexi turned the tables and used steel steps and the ring apron itself. Lexi turned all momentum to her side when she grabbed a beer from a fan in the front row and threw it directly into Finn’s face, using the distraction to land a series of rapid punches directly to his face. He crumbled down to the floor, and Lexi mounted him continuing her striking flurry. Inside, Elena has shifted the match to her favor. Toma had returned to his feet after his taunting and walked to his prey who was still down. But being the expert submissionist that she is, when Toma got too close to her, she managed to wrap her legs around his, using them to trip him down and immediately applies a kneebar submission. Toma immediately reaches out to the ropes, maybe for a second forgetting what environment he was in. Rope breaks don’t mean shit here in So Cal. He eventually manages to pry Elena’s locked legs apart in order to slip his own leg out. What damage has been done, though, can’t be undone. He obviously favors his leg for the immediate moment, and that allows Elena to return to her feet. Elena’s speed comes into play when she quickly moves to Knupp and is able to avoid a heavy strike attempt by the Prophet. She counters with a quick series of punches immediately followed by a fancy looking spinning sole butt kick to Knupp’s stomach. Elena turned and sprinted to the ropes, coming back to a still doubled over Toma, and hit a flipping neckbreaker that stunned him. She knew it wasn’t over, and immediately returned to her feet, lining him up and looking for it.. On the outside of the ring, Finn managed to flip Lexi off of him. Both returned to their feet, and you could see the hate in their eyes as they charged for one another again. Lexi threw out an arm, taking Finn off of his feet with a clothesline on their meeting. She stopped her feet, bending over to grab him, but the quick-thinking Finn caught her with a stiff elbow to the stomach. Without a second thought, he reached underneath the ring and retrieved a steel chair. Standing up and turning, he wielded the chair - driving the end of it into her stomach. Showing that aggressive side of his, he followed her down to the ground, placing the end of the chair against her neck, choking her with it. Back inside of the ring, Toma had rolled over onto his stomach and began to push himself up. First to his hands and knees, next standing but slightly hunched forward. Hands holding his ribs. Perhaps Elena’s kick hit his ribcage and not stomach. Anyway. This is what Elena was waiting for. She took off running toward Toma, and jumped up. She had every intention of placing her foot on the back of his head, and driving him face first into the mat with the “LIGHTS OUT” curb stomp, but Toma straightened his posture just after she jumped. This caused Elena to stomp on nothing but the mat on her way down. Once her feet landed on the mat, Toma was quick to hit a Uranage on Elena, driving her into the mat. Outside, Finn had pulled up with the chair and tossed it to the side. He followed up with a kick to her stomach before looking up into the ring. He watched as Toma spiked Elena into the mat with a Uranage, and that’s when Finn slid into the ring. Toma looked up just in time to see Finn sprinting at him. Finn jumped up and hit a perfect dropkick that floored Toma. Finn immediately shot up to his feet and, together he and Elena worked to pull Toma back up to his. Singling him out, they hit a perfect double DDT, driving the top of his head into the mat. Lexi has now returned to her feet, and entered the ring. She watched as her partner became the victim of a double team, and once they were back vertical, Lexi sprinted to the ropes. Showing great athleticism, she jumped up to the top rope and springboarded back. Turning in mid air, she caught Elena and - momentum spinning them both - hits the “HERETIC DDT”! Lexi is quickly back to her feet and Elena rolls away. Lexi turned to Finn - “ScRM” Asai DDT out of nowhere! Finn returned to his feet and looked down at Lexi. Before he could react anymore, he was spun around by Toma who had just returned to his feet. Toma hit a right open hand face slap, followed by a left which was immediately followed by a right arm lariat that he calls, “ENTHRALLING”. With Finn down on the mat, Toma grabs his legs, stepping through them and beginning the process of wrapping Finn in the Sharpshooter….. …… and that was when the lights in the Ultraviolent Complex were cut out. And they stayed that way for a few moments. When they came on? Finn and Elena were backed into a corner, and Toma Knupp was laid out in the middle of the ring. Lexi was just beginning to come to, and when she looked up she looked just as confused as Finn and Elena did. Lexi began to push herself up to her feet and that is when Elena sprinted out of the corner hitting ‘The Black Label’ with the “LIGHTS OUT”. Finn moved out of the corner and covered Toma, still unsure about what happened. One.. Two.. Three. WINNERS: Finn Whelan and Elena DeDraca
CUT TO INT. THE WOMEN’S LOCKERROOM - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS At the moment, the women’s lockerroom was empty and that's exactly what Los Renegados’ personal referee Henry Washington had been counting on. He creeped inside and started looking around. Off in the far corner, hanging perfectly inside a locker was the fancy peacock feathered ring robe of Hunter Moxley. Henry was obsessed with the Amazon from the moment he first saw her, and he ran to the locker. Carefully, he removed the robe from the hanger and slipped it on. HENRY WASHINGTON: “Yupp. I am perfection.” He admires himself from all angles until the door of the lockerroom opens. Two females are heard talking and Henry freezes. VOICE 1 (O.S.): “Everything is set. Matthias will let them know when to press play. It will be the perfect distraction.” That voice belongs to Zahra Phoenix. VOICE 2 (O.S.): “Perf. Dumb fucking bitch deserves nothing less.” That voice belongs to Hunter Moxley and together, the two best friends enter the lockerroom. Of course, Henry isn’t quick enough to react. Hunter’s face turns red and Zahra’s mouth drops open. HUNTER MOXLEY: “You little fucking weirdo! Get the hell out of my robe!” Hunter charges Henry, who can’t move fast enough to get the glorious garment off his body. The two start scuffling and finally Henry wrestles himself free and practically knocks Zahra down in the process of fleeing the room. ZAHRA PHOENIX: “Ohmygod! What a total freak.” Hunter is beside herself. HUNTER MOXLEY: “I’m going to have to fucking burn this now!” ZAHRA PHOENIX: “Like there are literally no words.”
CUT TO INT. LOCKEROOM AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS The giant Rumble Reyes stood motionless by the door of the room while partner, Noah Reigner, sat on a fold out chair. Both dressed in their gear for their six person tag match later tonight. Noah has his head lowered, thoughts racing through his mind. It would last a moment before he lifted his head, eyes up to Rumble. NOAH REIGNER “Do you know where Dick is?” Rumble didn’t verbally reply, just shook his head. NOAH REIGNER “Well, our match is soon. You and I are on the same page, yeah? I don’t know what his agenda will be after tapping to Crosslin at Baptized in Blood - but we know we have to destroy these three. He can focus his rage and anger on one if he wants, but in order for Los Renegados to succeed - Ashtyn, Aliyah and Reece need to be eliminated.” Rumble agreed, saying “Right”. Noah shot up to his feet and walked to his partner. NOAH REIGNER “Let’s get ‘em, big guy. .. Julian also wants to see us before we go to the ring. Let’s go meet up with him now.” Rumble turned to face the door, and opened it. Just as he and Noah began to move out, Dick Devereaux shows up and stands in their way. DICK DEVEREAUX “Fucking ready to kill them?” NOAH REIGNER “Soon. Julian wants to see us before..” Noah pushed past both Rumble and Dick and lead the way down the hallway. Dick’s eyes narrowed on Noah, and followed..
CUT TO INT. THE PRODUCTION AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS Jessie and John, the two young production assistants that are working for So-Cal have been silent ever since Matthias Black made his presence felt in their little area. The hulking Matthias is looming over both of them, there just to make sure the college age kids do his dirty work for him. Matthias is completely unaware that the production area has another visitor. He’s also completely unaware that this person is wielding a leadpipe. He feels it though, because that lead pipe slams into the back of his skull and the former Ultraviolent Champion drops. John and Jessie let out cries of shock and Dorian Rampage emerges from the shadows. He looks from John to Jessie, then back to John. He folds his arms across his chest and narrows his eyes. DORIAN RAMPAGE: “Don't make the mistake of playing that footage.” John nods, his eyes wide. VIDEO TECH: “Y-yes, Sir.” Dorian gives him a silent nod and exits the production area.
MATCH FIVE:Hunter Moxley Vs. Tiffany It was just her third match in So-Cal Ultraviolent but already the So-Cal universe was enamoured with the bright-eyed, blonde from Orlando who went by Tiffany. When “Mo’ Bounce” by Iggy Azalea hit the the (crappy) PA system the crowd got to their feet. The gorgeous blond made her out way to the ring to the cheers of the crowd. Like always, Tiffany is friendly and bubbly, embracing the love the fans are showering her with. She climbs in the ring and mentally prepares herself as her music fades out and is replaced by “March of Dolls” by Gabriel and the Apocalypse. “The Valkyrie” Hunter Moxley makes her way out to the ring and not-so-shockingly the crowd doesn't respond to her very positively. Tiffany never takes her eyes off of Hunter as the taller, more powerful woman makes her way down to the ring. Tiffany knows that she has to get off to a quick start in this match and she paces around, just waiting for the bell to ring. Hunter is arrogantly drawing out her ring entrance, and posing for the crowd. They're not impressed at all by The Valkyrie. Slowly, Hunter climbs the up steel ring steps and Henry Washington is in awe of her. He's seemingly obsessed with her glorious ring robes. When Hunter turns and finally looks into the ring, her blue eyes shoot from Tiffany to Henry, and she’s not sure who disgusts her more. DROPKICK! Hunter hits the ground hard. A sheepish looking Tiffany just shrugs her shoulders. After a solid six minute Hunter Moxley entrance, even she reached her breaking point. Henry snaps out of his trance and calls for the bell. Everything is legal now and fair game, and Tiffany somersaults over the top rope. She crashes on top of Hunter and jumps back on her feet. Seizing two handfuls of peacock feathers, Tiffany snatches the obnoxious robe right off of Hunter and shakes her head. Tossing it to the side, she scoops Hunter up and goes to whip her into the barricades. The powerful Moxley plants her feet and promptly stops Tiffany’s momentum. Tiffany tries again but Hunter is not having it. Hunter shakes her head and slams Tiffany to the ground with a massive clothesline! The back of Tiffany’s head hits the ground and the audience lets out a collective groan. Tiffany clutches her head.
CUT TO INT. THE RINGSIDE AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS From a secluded corner in the infamous “friends and family” area, Dorian Rampage quietly watches over Tiffany. Having disposed of Matthias Black a little while ago, Dorian’s now making sure that Zahra Phoenix doesn’t get involved.
CUT TO Hunter has tossed Tiffany into the ring and is stomping away on the smaller woman. Hunter follows up those stomps with a series of knee drops and pulls Tiffany into a very painful bow and arrow submission hold. Immediately, Henry is in the ground and asking the Orlando Native if she wants to give up. Tiffany isn't having it. She endures the hold until Moxley grows frustrated. Hunter releases the bow and arrow, grabs Tiffany by the hair, and begins to slam the younger woman's face into the mat. Once Hunter is done, she gets her feet and pulls Tiffany up with her. Despite the fact Tiffany is struggling and fighting against Hunter with all her might, the stronger competitor manages to lock in her finisher, “Hunter’s Way.” With the fans chanting her name, Tiffany tries all she can to break the deadly Coquina Clutch! She somehow digs deep and manages to catch her foot on the bottom rope, right by the turnbuckles! Tiffany wisely uses that momentum to propel her to the turnbuckle and over Hunter! The Valkyrie lets go and turns around, and Tiffany catches her in the face with a dropkick. Hunter stumbles back but she doesn't immediately fall to the ground. Tiffany leaps back up and catches Hunter right in the gut with another decisive drop kick. This time the Amazon tumbles through the ropes and crashes to the mat. With a smile and motion to the crowd Tiffany backs up and then sails through the air and over the top. She lands right on top of Moxley and the crowd eats it up! Hunter is in trouble and Tiffany is using the momentum of the crowd to drive her at the moment. She pulls Hunter to her feet and whips her into the steel barricades. Hunter drops to her knees, pain etched across her face. Tiffany slams her knee into The Valkyrie’s face and grabs two handfuls of hair. She tosses Hunter onto the ring apron, positioning her just in front of the ringpost. She backs up a bit, zeroes in on Hunter, and dropkicks her right into the ringpost! Hunter’s lower back has been damaged and Tiffany slips into the ring. She grabs Hunter and drags her away from the corner. She stomps away at the injured back for a few seconds before pointing at the ropes. She wants to fly and the crowd is ready for it. Tiffany easily makes her way to the top rope and points up at the sky. She's setting herself up for “Flyin Sky High.” Before she can take to the air, her attention gets drawn to the ring entrance area. A pissed off Zahra Phoenix is making her way down to the ring.
CUT TO INT. THE RINGSIDE AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS Dorian watches the so-called Queen of Pro-Wrestling head to the ring. His first instinct is to put a stop to it, but somehow he refrains. He knows Tiffany so well and knows that she would want to handle her business herself. It was bad enough he had already gotten involved, but the plans of Phoenix, Black, and Moxley had been awful. When he sees that Tiffany has spotted Zahra, he relaxes. But only a little.
CUT TO Zahra is at the ring now, screaming obscenities at Tiffany. Henry Washington is literally begging them both to fight. He's super creepy like that. Tiffany has had about enough of Zahra and before Zahra can react, Tiffany takes her out with a hurricanrana on the outside!! The fans pop huge and Tiffany grabs Zahra by her perfect purple locks and begins bashing her face into the ground, only to be stopped when Hunter, who rolled out of the ring and still a little groggy, grabbed her by the hair and viciously yanked her up to her feet. Hunter grabbed Tiffany’s arm and threw her into the steel steps hard enough to knock them off of their placement against the ring. Shaking off the effects of earlier, Hunter saw to it that Zahra was okay and up to her feet before marching over to Tiffany. The resiliency of Tiffany, though, has to be taken into consideration. She began to pull herself up using the ring apron. When Hunter was close, Tiffany managed to throw a back elbow at her, catching her right in the stomach. Zahra came flying around the ring, hitting Tiffany from behind. Tiffany dropped down to a knee, but did the same thing to Zahra that she did to Hunter - firing a back elbow that caught Zahra in the stomach. Tiffany got a sudden burst of energy and pushed herself up to her feet and then into the ring before Hunter could lunge forward and grab her. Hunter climbed up onto the apron as Tiffany turned and hit the far ropes. Tiffany came back, and not sure if she was attempting some kind of suicide spear thing that would have taken out both Hunter and Zahra, but Hunter stopped her dead in her tracks with a kick. Tiffany was hung up between the top and middle ropes, and Hunter was quick to raise a knee up to her face, hitting her hard. Tiffany fell back into the ring and Hunter followed. Hunter didn’t wait for Tiffany to return to her feet, she bent forward and picked her opponent up. Tiffany tried to fight back with more strikes, but Hunter landed her own elbow to the side of Tiffany’s head, and before she knew it, Tiffany was picked up, slung over Hunter’s shoulder and driven down hard into the mat with the “Valkyrie Drop”! Hunter immediately turned around and covered her opponent. One.. Two.. Three! WINNER: Hunter Moxley
CUT TO INT. HYPE VIDEO - “DEAD INSIDE” BY MUSE - CONTINUOUS - Clips of the soon-to-be debuting Madison Tempest plays. John and Jessie have scrounged the Internet and have dug up clips of the colorful-haired beauty training in Las Vegas at a small, unknown wrestling school as well some photos from her Insta and other social media sites. When the small hype video ends, four words flash across the bottom of the screen.
THE TEMPEST. COMING. SOON.
CUT TO INT. THE BACKSTAGE AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS IKEDA and his advocate, Wesley Baines, are seen leaving the office of Julian Cortez. IKEDA wears a sick smirk on his face and Wesley is rubbing his hands together. He also seems incredibly pleased at whatever has transpired. Wesley Baines: “Asylum twelve. IKEDA versus Linc Coyne. If it ends up being for the Television Championship, that's great. If not, you are going to make sure he never makes his rematch, got it?” IKEDA nods. He doesn’t care whatsoever about the TV Championship. He just knows that he's getting a one-on-one against the man he's been sneak attacking for weeks. Wesley Baines: “A Japanese Death Match. It's perfect.” Baines’ irrational hate for Linc Coyne was amusing for IKEDA but the former Ultraviolent Champion was just happy to have someone to hurt. The fact Linc was a total douchebag just made it better. Baines brought them both to a stop and turned towards IKEDA. Wesley Baines: “Linc Coyne is a joke and the fact he actually holds a championship as of right now is bullshit. These people Cortez has hired have done nothing but ruin what made this company one of the most feared professional wrestling organizations in North America. Everyone can see it and people are whispering. I don't necessarily want to involve us in a war, but we can take care of one of this particular problem. Understood?” IKEDA: “好きです (すきです).” …. Wesley Baines: “I'll just assume that you're agreeing with me.” He was.
CUT TO A video package from Asylum Episode Nine plays, featuring footage of the Television title match. Linc Coyne vs Trixie vs IKEDA. All three competitors showed why they’re heavily featured in the company and why they all deserve the title. IKEDA was removed from the equation with a shot from a pair of nunchucks from Linc. Trixie would successfully hit one of her finishers on Linc, but before she could pin to retain her championship - Paige made her presence felt when she hit Trixie in the face with her casted hand, knocking Trixie right into Linc who rolled her up for the three count. The footage ends with Trixie sitting on her knees, screaming at her loss.
CUT TO INT. THE BACKSTAGE AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS The mere sight of anything involving Trixie was enough to make Paige see red. Despite the fact Paige had defeated Damon Xalvador earlier in the evening and despite the fact Alex had forged an alliance with Philip Corvington III to secure Paige a tag team partner, the Oakland native was still in a foul mood. PAIGE: “It is fucking bullshit that that useless little slutbag is getting a TV title shot. I fucking destroyed her at Baptized in Blood and that should be me out there facing whathisface for that Television Title. Not that stupid bitch. I don't give a fuck if she was owed a rematch.” ALEX COVINGTON: “Paige, relax. Your argument is valid, but do you honestly think you should settle for a TV title shot? Pretty much anyone can hold that belt.” Paige remains silent. ALEX COVINGTON: “You're on a roll here in So-Cal and you deserve a lot more than some third tier championship that even Trixie could win.” PAIGE: “So what exactly are you suggesting?” A smirk crosses Alex’s face. ALEX COVINGTON: “Paige Brooks, Trans-Pacific Champion.” Paige doesn't react at first but Alex is sold on the idea. A smile slowly spreads across Paige’s face. PAIGE: “Trans-Pacific Champion. I love it.”
MATCH SIX: Television Championship Match - Linc Coyne(c) Vs. Trixie Both competitors are already in the ring and the introductions have been made. A quiet, focused Trixie has kept her eyes on the Television Championship the entire time referee AJ Cross held it up while Savannah Harper did her ring announcer thing. Linc Coyne looks awful and arrogant like always, and he’s still wearing a pair of designer sunglasses. He can’t be fucked to remove them, really. AJ passes the title off to Savannah and signals for the bell to ring. Linc arrogantly walks up to Trixie and tilts his shades down so he can get a good look at the feisty blond. He doesn’t seem at all impressed with what he sees and after flicking at a strand of Trixie’s blond hair, Linc pushes his shades back up on his face and turns his back on the Las Vegas native. Trixie grits her teeth and charges at Linc, knocking him chest-first into the ropes. Linc bounces back and whirls around, only to be met with a vicious right hand to the face. Trixie fires off a rapid series of punches that sends the champ staggering, but Linc finally catches her with a shot of his own. Trixie falls back on her bottom but is quickly back up to her feet. She comes back at Linc with a series of precise kicks right at the knees and thighs. Linc absorbs the shots and on the sixth kick, he catches Trixie by the leg. Trixie hops around, trying to get her foot free, but Linc shoves her back. It was probably a mistake on his part because Trixie goes right back at him with those kicks. Linc ends up getting pinned in the corner and worked over, and Trixie brings him down to a sitting position. She backs up and charges towards Linc, landing in the Bronco Buster position. Linc is the envy of most men right now as Trixie tortures him and when she finally climbs off of him, she has a huge smile on her face. She slams her knee right into Linc’s face and blood starts gushing from the former Hollywood stuntman’s nose. Linc stumbles up to his feet with the help of the ropes and Trixie goes for a splash. Linc is able to move and Trixie crashes into the corner. Linc checks his face and sees the blood. He’s shocked. He never expected Trixie to draw blood, let alone this early in the match. Linc narrows his eyes in Trixie’s direction and he rushes the corner. Trixie sees him coming and jumps on the turnbuckles, while Linc stops not wanting to crash and burn. She jumps off and Linc has the presence of mind to catch Trixie and put her down with a nice little sidewalk slam. He wipes some of the blood that is still trickling from his nose and flicks it on Trixie. So not sanitary. Linc stands up and showboats to the crowd, shouting something about being a champion and that this is his yard. He’s definitely no Roman Reigns, but right now he’s in control which really sucks, haha. The champion gets back to his feet and he stalks his fallen prey. Once Trixie pulls herself into a sitting position, Linc slams his foot right into her back. Trixie falls over and the aggressive champion begins stomping a mudhole right into the blonde beauty. He snatches her up by the hair and drapes her throat first across the middle rope. Linc uses the ropes to choke Trixie, and since there’s no disqualification, AJ Cross doesn’t stop it. Trixie is gasping for air and finally Linc relents. The blonde chokes and coughs, trying to get air back into her lungs and she crawls away from the ropes. Linc follows her and kicks her in the ribs until Trixie backs herself into the corner. Full of confidence now, Linc looms over Trixie with a horrible smile across his face. He motions for Trixie to get up and finally just takes it upon himself to get the Las Vegas native back on her feet. Trixie comes back with several forearm shots to Linc’s face that cause him to stumble backwards. She continues assaulting him until he catches her in the eye with his thumb and pie-faces her to the ground. Linc is literally the worst. There’s so much showboating going on, and Linc is mocking the hell out of Trixie. He slaps her in the back of the head and screams “Trixie Law, bitch”. The crowd inside the Ultraviolent Complex are not impressed with the actions of Linc Coyne.
CUT TO INT. THE RINGSIDE AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS The “friends and family” section is busy tonight and the mother of Linc Coyne’s child, Marianne is disgusted at what she’s seeing inside the ring. She’s holding their daughter, Delilah, in her arms and Delilah looks up at the in-ring action. DELILAH: “Why is dad hitting that lady?” Marianne didn’t exactly know how to reply to that. It was against her better judgement that she was there, but Linc had sent her the tickets and money to make the trip down to San Francisco. He was a professional wrestling champion and she had been curious. But right now, she was regretting every single moment she had spent inside the Ultraviolent Complex so far. MARIANNE: “Daddy is acting, babygirl. This is his job.” Mother and daughter watched as Linc pulled a pair of brass knuckles out of his wrestling boots and slip them on his hand. The minute he hit Trixie in the face and cut her above the eye, Delilah buried her face against her mom’s shoulders. DELILAH: “Daddy’s being mean. I don’t want to watch.” Marianne didn’t want to watch either.
CUT TO Linc continued to pound Trixie in the face until she was bleeding just as much as he was. Once he was satisfied with the damage he had done, he tossed the knux to the side and wiped the blood of his opponent across his chest. He spun around in the direction of the “friends and family” section and caught a glimpse of Marianne getting up out of her seat and grabbing her and Delilah’s things. Linc walked over to the ropes and shouted her name, but Marianne wasn’t having it. She doesn’t acknowledge Linc. She simply begins to head for the exit. Before she disappears, little Delilah lifts her head from Marianne’s shoulder and her chocolate colored eyes clash with the same identical eyes of her father’s. The only difference is little Delilah’s are filled with tears and Linc’s are full of confusion. BAM! Trixie falls back as Linc Coyne falls to his knees in front of her. The distraction had allowed the crafty Trixie to find the brass knux and slip them over her own hand. She had used that loaded fist to nail Linc right between the legs. Trixie rebounds to her feet and kicks Linc upside the head, sending him sprawling out on the mat. Showing off her ultraviolent side, Trixie mounts Linc begins punching him in the face. She keeps fighting until Linc is busted open. Trixie sees the blood covering Linc’s face and she slowly gets up. The Television Championship means everything to her, and she will do whatever she can to regain it. She keeps the brass knux on her hand so Linc can’t get them and drops to the outside of the ring. She reaches under the ring apron and pulls out a metal wrench. The fans go nuts wanting to see the “Bad Kitty” just knock the holy living Hell out of Linc Coyne. Unfortunately for Trixie, she didn’t get that chance. IKEDA hits the ring and begins beating on Linc, worsening the damage Trixie had already done. Trixie is infuriated and hops in the ring. She grabs at IKEDA and gets in his face, demanding to know why he’s out there spoiling the match. IKEDA pushes her to the side and goes back to wailing on Linc. Trixie’s had enough and she slams the wrench into the back of IKEDA’s head. The former Ultraviolent Champion is knocked out from the blow. From his spot on the stage, Wesley Baines looks shocked at the turn of events and Trixie fixes him with a look of pure disgust. A bloody, barely coherent Linc Coyne sees that Trixie is exchanging words with Wesley Baines. He sees the wrench lying beside IKEDA. He drags himself towards and using all the strength he has left, Linc grips the foreign object in his hand. As he gets to his feet and prepares to knock Trixie out with the wrench, she turns around. SUPERKICK! Linc falls back, the wrench tumbling from his hands. Trixie lets out a cry and drops down. She hooks Linc’s leg and AJ Cross drops down to make the count. 1… 2… IKEDA PULLS CROSS BACK RIGHT AS CROSS’ HAND WAS ABOUT TO HIT THE MAT FOR THE THREE! Trixie looks shell-shocked. AJ Cross looks infuriated and motions for IKEDA to get the hell out of the ring. IKEDA grins his disgusting grin but very slowly, he makes his way out of the ring. Trixie’s eyes are locked on IKEDA, who is taunting her the entire time he walks backwards, towards the ring entrance. The superkick Trixie hit Linc with has worn off and he is shaking the cobwebs out. He spies the wrench and grips it, wiping the blood from his face. Linc crawls towards Trixie and without hesitating, slams the wrench into Trixie’s lower back. She crumbles from the impact and tosses the wrench to the ground. He hoists Trixie up and quickly finishes her off with “ML Ultra.” Linc goes for the cover. 1… 2…. 3! WINNER AND STILL TELEVISION CHAMPION: Linc Coyne
CUT TO INT. THE BACKSTAGE AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS So-Cal’s Queen of California, Ashtyn Rave is standing backstage and watching a monitor. She shakes her head at the carnage caused by the irrationally angry IKEDA and goes back to wrapping black tape around her wrists. Aliyah Turner walks into the picture and clears her throat to get Ashtyn’s attention. Ashtyn ignores her until she finishes taping her wrists and hands, and finally decides to give Aliyah her attention. ASHTYN RAVE: “Yes?” Well at least Ashtyn was the same Ashtyn in some respect. She was still completely unapproachable. ALIYAH TURNER: “Look, I’m not going to bullshit you. There’s no love lost between the two of us, but I think we both have a tremendous amount of respect for one another. What you did at Baptized in Blood was selfless and bad ass, and made one hell of a statement.” Ashtyn says nothing. ALIYAH TURNER: “You’re the type of person I wouldn’t mind having for a partner, and there’s a little tag team championship opportunity coming up at Asylum 13. I can’t think of a better way to piss off Cortez than by holding the championships he’s introducing.” Ashtyn places her hands on her hips and looks up at Aliyah. There was no hidden agenda for Aliyah. Her offer was honest and Ashtyn knew that both of them had the same goals in mind. They wanted to destroy Cortez and his fuckboys, and both of them wanted to win. ASHTYN RAVE: “Fine.” Aliyah smirks and extends her hand. Ashtyn takes it and the two women seal their new partnership with a handshake.
CUT TO INT. THE PARKING LOT AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS Tonight had been a low point for Eliza Dresden and she was just looking to get the hell out of the Ultraviolent Complex and regroup. Things just weren’t going her way in So-Cal and she didn’t know what she needed to do in order to fix the problem. The only reason she was still at the building is because she had some promotional opportunities to wrap up, and no matter how shitty things had gone, Eliza didn’t believe in shirking her responsibilities. As she walked towards her rental car, she noticed a woman with ice-blond hair standing beside it. The woman is Alicia Frost. ALICIA FROST: “Hey Eliza!” ELIZA DRESDEN: “Who the hell are you?” Eliza never gets her answer. A chain wraps around her throat and tightens, choking the pretty blonde. Alicia giggles as Frost puts Eliza down and rips the chain from around her neck. He folds the chain in half and begins whipping Eliza with it, and pretty soon you can see the blood soaking through her clothes. Alicia claps at all the blood and violence, happy as can be. The happiness is short lived, though. The man Frost tried to put down earlier, Damon Xalvador rushes the scene and tackles the 6’8” monster with a spear. Frost slams back into the car and is met with heavy fists from Xalvador. Taking the action into her own hands, Alicia jumps on Damon’s back and wraps her arms around his neck. Xalvador slams the delicate blond against the car and that causes Frost to absolutely snap. He snatches the chain up and looks to slam it right into Damon Xalvador’s face. Xalvador moves out of the way and Frost’s loaded fist slams right through the car-door window. Frost lets out a swear and that’s when security shows up. All three stop in their tracks. ELIAS BARNES: “Nah, man. Not these fools again. Why?!” Lindsay and Alix exchange looks. Neither seem in a hurry to break up the brawl and get Eliza Dresden some medical attention. Xalvador sees the three members of So-Cal’s security team and he snarls in their direction. They simply retreat and head back inside the building. Xalvador is hit with a low blow thanks to Alicia and Frost takes him down with a big boot to the face. The large monster of a man looks at his blood hand and curses.
CUT TO INT. THE BACKSTAGE AREA - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS Alix, Lindsay, and Elias close the door behind them. Other than the two incidents between Frost and Xalvador, it had been relatively quiet night. Alix pulls a pack of smokes out of the pocket of his pants. ALIX STAVROS: “I’m going for a smoke. You coming?” It was directed at Elias, because Lindsay didn’t smoke. Elias declines and Alix heads off. Lindsay waits until he disappears and takes Elias by the arm. She pulls him into a secluded little corner and drops her voice. LINDSAY PIERCE: “I think Alix is dirty.” ELIAS BARNES: “What makes you think that?” LINDSAY PIERCE: “Remember when Julian’s office was broken into and destroyed? He let Zahra Phoenix and Hunter Moxley into the building that night. They did that. It had nothing to do with Aliyah. You know Gage hates Alix because of what went down with Meredith.” Elias sighs. ELIAS BARNES: “That’s fucked. That whole situation with Meredith is just fucked.” Lindsay nods her head. LINDSAY PIERCE: “Dad told me that Gage has a financial backer, who’s come up with the rest of the money that would buy back So-Cal and give Cortez a profit. Cortez isn’t budging. He won’t sell.” ELIAS BARNES: “Cross went to Rave, right?” Lindsay nodded. LINDSAY PIERCE: “She confirmed that Cortez is involved in cocaine dealing. She wouldn’t tell him anything else.” ELIAS BARNES: “Fuck.” LINDSAY PIERCE: “He’s got to go, Elias. We will have to find a way to force his hand.”
CUT TO INT. JULIAN CORTEZ’S OFFICE - THE ULTRAVIOLENT COMPLEX - CONTINUOUS Noah Reigner, Rumble Reyes and Dick Devereaux have just recently left the office of the boss, and the head of Los Renegados. Before the door could even close completely, Trixie slips into the office. Julian and Aryanna Cortez both turn to find the ‘Bouncing Bunny’ standing in front of the desk, and both look perplexed. JULIAN CORTEZ “Can I help you, Trixie?” TRIXIE “Yes you can! You can give me IKEA… Ikea?... That’s not right is it?” Aryanna shakes her head.. TRIXIE “...You can give me.. IKEDA! That’s it! .. Next Asylum. He cost me my chance to regain my title tonight, and I want to get even.” JULIAN CORTEZ “Are you sure you’re up for IKEDA .. a former Ultraviolent Champion?” TRIXIE “One hundred percent! I have to climb back up to my Trixievision title anyway, and there’s no better place to start than by taking down IKEDA.” JULIAN CORTEZ “Okay…. You got it, next Asylum.” Trixie smiles a happy smile before turning and leaving the office. Julian waited a couple of moments before turning up to face his daughter. JULIAN CORTEZ “¿Estás lista para esta noche, mija?” Aryanna nodded her head.
MAIN EVENT:Reece Crosslin (c), Aliyah Turner and Ashtyn Rave Vs. Los Renegados (Noah Reigner, Rumble Reyes and Dick Devereaux) Los Renegados are down to the ring first. Coming out together with Dick leading the team down the walkway. Next out is Aliyah Turner who gets the crowd fired up with her energy. Ashtyn Rave is out next and meets Aliyah on the bottom of the walkway, followed by the Ultraviolent Champion; Reece Crosslin. The San Diegons pop loudly for their hometown boy, and for a very brief moment he indulges them by raising the title in the air - pointing out and mouthing, “This is for all of you.”. After he dropped his arms, he looked down to the ring and marched to join his team mates. Looking at one another - Aliyah, Ashtyn and Reece all nodded before taking off, sliding into the ring and immediately hoping up to their feet. There they met the members of Los Renegados in the middle of the ring, everyone hammering each other with heavy strikes. Aliyah was partnered with Noah, those two trading shots into the corner. Reece takes on the bigger Rumble, trying his best to wear down the big man with strikes that barely affect him. That leaves Ashtyn and Dick. Ashtyn uses her speed to avoid a heavy haymaker from Dick, ducking under it and ending up to the side of him - where she hits him with several stiff kicks to the leg. Dick turns around, firing another right hand that Ashtyn avoids again, and delivers another couple of kicks. It took Rumble grabbing Reece by the throat and literally throwing him into the corner, before turning around and grabbing Ashtyn’s hair - to get her to stop. Rumble dragged Ashtyn back a couple of steps before she managed to turn around and knee Rumble right between the legs. His grip instantly releases, but Ashtyn was then attacked from behind by Dick. A clubbing blow that floored the Queen of California. Noah has tossed Aliyah through the ropes and moves into the corner where Reece was tossed. Noah grips his hands around the top rope, and begins to bury his boots into the champions stomach. There’s no love lost between these two, and that is clear when Noah stops kicking Reece. Noah grabs the champion’s face, looking him directly in the eye, shouting “remember me?!”. Reece then explodes. He reaches out, grabbing Noah’s head and turning them around so that Noah is now in the corner. Reece takes his turn stomping on Noah before moving out to the middle of the rope. Pointing to his foe, he ran into the corner and hit a hard dropkick to Noah. Noah slumped to the floor, and Reece sat up on his knee, looking over his shoulder and noticing that Ashtyn was being double teamed. Rumble held Ashtyn in place while Dick fed her several stiff strikes to the stomach and then to the face. Reece is immediately up to his feet, and he charges at Rumble. Rumble sees him coming, and releases Ashtyn. Reece leaps into the air, but Rumble swats him down like a fly. … But all the while, no one noticed Aliyah who climbed to the top rope. Just as soon as Reece is swatted away, Aliyah flies off of the turnbuckle - hitting a big dropkick on Rumble. The move caught him off guard and sent the big man reeling. Aliyah was up to her feet quickly, joining Reece and the both of them decided to work together and hit a double dropkick to Rumble! That move sent the big man staggering back and falling through the ropes to the outside. Instantly, Aliyah was back to her feet and ran to the ropes, stepping up onto the middle rope before springboarding herself up and over the top rope with a massive suicide crossbody onto Rumble… ...who caught her and threw her into the crowd barrier like she was a sack of potatoes. The Ultraviolent faithful let out as gasp as Aliyah hit hard. An angry Rumble began to march toward where Aliyah lay, but instead got caught with a baseball slide dropkick by Reece! Rumble stumbled into the barrier, and Reece was back up to his feet in the ring. He turned just in time to see Noah running at him. Reece dropped down, pulling the top rope down with him, which saw Noah tumble over and out of the ring. With a smile, Reece sprinted to the far side of the ring, coming back and flipping over the top rope right onto Noah and Rumble! That leaves Ashtyn and Dick in the ring. Dick is still on his feet, stomping at Ashtyn after Rumble threw her to the ground. Dick grabs Ashtyn by the hair, kneeling down enough to look her right in the eye. With a wicked grin on his face, he tells the Queen of California - “your fuckin’ time is over. O.Ding doesn’t seem so bad now, does it?”. Ashtyn spat up in his face, which only made ‘The Butcher’ laugh before slamming her head down into the mat. Dick stood up and looked into the crowd, which booed him loudly. Ashtyn began to climb to her feet while Dick focused his attention on the outside. All four competitors are laid out on the floor, and Dick wonders what the hell happened. Ashtyn pulls herself together, and moves behind Dick. Grabbing his arm, she forcefully turns him around. With a surprised look on his face, he turns only to eat a stiff and quick kick to the stomach from Ashtyn. Using the element of surprise, she quickly follows into - and successfully hits a very quick, “FUCK YOU” styles clash - not wasting any time taunting or anything. Rolling into the pinning situation, she holds on tight.. One.. Two.. NOAH ENTERED THE RING AND BROKE IT UP! Ashtyn looked up, seething with rage. She shot up to her feet and hit Noah with a hard forearm shot. Noah backed up after the impact, only to come back with his own that dropped Ashtyn to a knee, showing that striking power of his. On the outside of the ring, Reece has gotten up to his feet and is checking on Aliyah as she returns to hers. Rumble uses the ring apron to pull himself up. Once he’s vertical, Rumble charges toward them - looking to clothesline them both over the crowd barrier. They both see the big man charging full speed toward them and drop at the same time, both executing a drop toe hold that see’s Rumble drop and his head smash off of a chair that sat near the barrier. With Rumble temporarily out of the picture, Reece and Aliyah move toward the ring and climb onto the apron - watching as Ashtyn and Noah exchange strikes. Dick has rolled into the corner of the ring by now, and Noah has also gained the upper hand against Ashtyn. He’s successfully hit a spinning heel kick to her stomach, which doubled her over. He pushed her into the corner, where he ran in and hit a jumping forearm that caused her to slump to the ground. Dick has pulled himself up to his feet and marched into the corner where Noah and Ashtyn are. He forcefully pulled Noah out of the corner, inserting himself in the corner and stomping on Ashtyn. Noah stands by and watches, until Dick stops and orders Noah to pull her out. Clenching his teeth, he does. Ashtyn fought back, hitting Noah with a quick kick to the stones which dropped him to his knees. Ashtyn then lept forward, hitting Dick with a clothesline that took him down. Ashtyn turned to her partners and gave them a nod. Reece climbed the nearest turnbuckle and Aliyah moved down the apron to the next, climbing that. They both sat perched on the top, and when Dick was to his feet first - Reece lept off! “8-5-8” codebreaker! Dick dropped back, but ‘the Butcher’ returned to his feet quickly. Rumble was up by now, reaching into the ring and grabbing Reece’s foot as he stood up after hitting his trademark. Reece was pulled down, his face slamming off of the mat and was immediately dragged out of the ring by Rumble. Aliyah carefully stood up on the top rope, eyes locked on Dick as he began to stand up. Once he was vertical, Aliyah leapt off… Noah, who was up to his feet now, rushed over and pushed Dick out of the way… “GOT ‘EM!” Aliyah just hit her finisher on Noah who pushed Dick out of the way. Noah hit the mat, knocked out cold. Dick leaned against the ropes, but pushed himself off as Aliyah stood up. He grabbed her by the hair and whipped her around and out of the ring. She landed at Rumble’s feet after he threw Reece into the crowd barrier. Inside of the ring, Dick turned around once again and was met by Ashtyn. Ashtyn kicked Dick in the stomach again, and wrapped her arm around his head before charging to the ropes - jumping up and pushing herself off of the middle ropes. Springboarding back and hitting a bulldog. She immediately transitioned into an armbar - every intention of “LITERALLY BREAKING THIS”. Dick thrashed around, screaming out for Noah and-or Rumble to help. Noah is out cold still, and as Rumble tries to enter the ring, both Aliyah and Reece grab his legs to prevent that from happening. It wasn’t too long later that Dick tapped out. WINNERS: Reece Crosslin, Aliyah Turner and Ashtyn Rave Ashtyn kept the submission applied for just a little longer before Rumble entered the ring. She let the submission go and exited the ring, where she met with Aliyah and Reece on the outside. With one on either side of her, they both raised her arms and the So Cal trio stood victorious. In the ring, Dick has sat up on his knees and stared through narrow eyes at the walkway. Rumble stood motionless in front of the ropes, also starring up at them. Noah is beginning to come to, rolling over onto his side and then working his way up to sitting. By now the So Cal trio has vanished through the curtain and backstage. It wouldn’t be much longer before Julian and Aryanna Cortez pushed through the curtain and made their way down to the ring. They entered the ring and the entire Los Renegados group stood around as Noah worked his way up to his feet. Julian’s eyes focused on Dick and with a very slight nod of the head, Dick turned… ...and smoked Noah in the face with a straight right hand! Noah hit the matt hard, and Dick immediately mounted him - grabbing his head with one hand to keep him steady and with his dominant hand, he repeatedly fed Noah stiff strikes. Julian watched, emotionless. Aryanna’s eyes widened and Rumble remained motionless, watching in shock. Dick transitioned from punches to headbutts, successfully hitting two very stiff headbutts to Noah before allowing Noah to fall back to the mat. Dick stood up, a little wobbly for a moment before he shook the effects of the headbutts off. Noah eventually rolled onto his hands and knees, crawling away from the assault. He ended up in the corner where Aryanna stood. Using the ropes to pull himself up to his feet, he laid his eyes on Julian - mouthing “why?” and then eyes to Aryanna. Without a seconds hesitation, Aryanna hauls back and … slaps Noah right across the face. The slap echoes through the Complex and the fans cringe at the attack from Los Renegados on one of their own. Noah eats the slap, spinning around right into the arms of Dick. Dick positioned Noah … and hit the “PIPE BOMB”! Noah hit the mat and was unconscious again for the second time tonight. Dick returned to his feet, standing over Noah. One leg on either side of him, a sign of dominance. Julian and Aryanna stood by his side with Rumble still motionless in the background. Ending Asylum Episode Ten.
