PWS: Apex Riot
Tuesday Sept. 29th, 2020
Las Vegas, NV
(“Trials” by Starset blares through the arena where the cardboard cutouts and the small groups of real life fans can be seen losing their minds as we’re back with another action packed episode of Riot.)
JR Freeman: FOLKS TONIGHT IS GONNA BE ONE HELLUVA NIGHT, WE CAN PROMISE YOU THAT!
Alfonso Banks: What a line-up we’ve got for you coming off of that INSANE battle royal and JR, we now know our contenders!
JR Freeman: Tonight we’ll see the number one contender to the PWS Collateral Damage championship, Aiden Reynolds in action taking on the less than stellar Chris Blade but be that is it may...look for the Aussie Assassin to bring that Down Unda Thunda with him en force!
Alfonso Banks: Speaking of that Down Unda Thunda, what a HELLUVA main event we’ve got for you here tonight!
JR Freeman: Laura Phoenix and Levi Russow have never shied away from controversy, they both seem to believe it can breed brilliance as they’re FORCING Jack Russow and Malachi to put their differences aside and TEAM together against...I can’t even believe I”m about to say this.
Alfonso Banks: Against Alexis Makarios and her newfound “bestie” the Collateral Damage Champion, Heather Haze! Who saw THAT coming!?
JR Freeman: The tension is palpable, the whole place is a powder keg, WHAT is gonna spark this explosion!?
(Scene switches backstage, we see a large limo pulling into the parking lot. Stopping just before it hit the camera. The driver gets out of the car, he walks the length of the limo, once gets to the back left passenger door.)
JR Freeman: Who is this?!
Alfonso Banks: I know we had some special guests tonight.
(The driver opens the door, at first nobody comes out but that didn’t last long. We see feet flop on the ground. The figure moves past the door, and it’s PWS hall of Famer and Legend, Eddie Lopez! He’s fully beard and has crazy hair as if he just woke up out of bed, both have the salt and pepper type of look. Eddie steps aside, and the entire Lopez family one by one stands next to him in the parking lot. Gracie, Jenn, Madison.)
JR Freeman: Oh god! The Lopez family is here!
Alfonso Banks: Oh boy. This doesn’t…. Why are they here!? We haven’t seen them on this show in 10 months!
(All of them start making their way down the hallway, but Clare Anderson stops them.)
Clare Anderson: Hey guys! Why are you here?
(Eddie looks at her, unfamiliar with who she is and girls just stare at her. Eddie shakes his head and starts walking down the hallway with the girls following, not far behind. They were greeted by an all too familiar voice)
Alexis Makarios: Well well well, look what the cat dragged in… if it isn't the Lopez Clan.
(The cameras turned to show her. She had her arms crossed and a solemn look on her face. She then smiled and chuckled as she walked up to them, hugging each one)
Alexis Makarios: Man, I'm glad you guys made it! Saved you all 4 of the best seats in town for the SLAUGHTER we are gonna have in the main event.
Eddie Lopez: Well, we told the head boss that we’ll be here and I told them to keep it a secret and they did. But you have some weird-ass people here.
Gracie Lopez: Yeah, there was a bimbo with a microphone trying to ask us questions, like we know who she was! I never have seen that person in my life.
Madison Carpenter: It’s an honor to be here of course. We wouldn’t miss your match for the world.
(Madison, she’s the little sister of Jennifer. Their relationship has started to build over the past year, from being a rocky meeting to them being best friends and hang out together. Madison also taught Jenn how to play video games and loosen up a bit too. PWS hasn’t been introduced to her yet, but she’s a very talented wrestler, trained of course by the Lopez family. )
Jenn Carpenter-Lopez: What all of them said, I think it’ll be fun to catch up with everyone. You gave us great seats? Nice! I’m sure we won’t let them go to waste.
(Jenn grows a slight smirk across her face.)
Alexis Makarios: Who… oh you mean Claire? She's harmless… anyways, yeah I got you guys front row and center. I'm so glad you guys made it!!
Jenn Carpenter-Lopez: I’m glad we made it too! It’s been what? 10 months since we’ve been on a PWS show? Too long if you ask me, but with mental health being an issue and doing some other projects and trying to build a bridge with my sister, and this virus…. It’s been one hell of a damn year. As you can tell, ol Santa beard himself is showing his age.
(Jenn chuckles looking at Eddie.)
Eddie Lopez: HEYY!
(A smile creeps across Eddie’s face for the first time. But, it’s true a lot has changed since these guys have been at a PWS show. But they’re home and they’re happy to be back where they belong. These 2 are still friends even after their marriage fizzled out. Alexis linked arms with Jenn and Eddie.)
Alexis Makarios: Follow us, old man. Unless you need me to get you a walker?
(She chuckles as she starts leading the girls forward. Eddie smirks a little, as he missed the closeness he and Alexis shared. He follows them as the cameras cut)
Dawn Warren vs. Richard Rider
Our opening contest saw everyone’s favorite little Puppy Power pretty in pink girl, Dawn Warren taking on the king of the sleazy little weirdos, Richard “DON’T CALL ME DICK!” Rider! The match kept a decent pace back and forth and it would seem every time Dawn would start to get her lucha style offense working for her, Rider would find just the right way to shut her down in that moment!
JR Freeman: Could Richard Rider have ACTUALLY done his homework for once!?
Alfonso Banks: Dawn Warren is a pretty girl...pretty sure he watched the tape a little too intently.
The finish came when we saw Dawn go for her With Great Power tilt-a-whirl DDT which gets powered out of with an impressive show of momentum as Rider takes that moment to pop her around into the big C4!
JR Freeman: LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!
In what many would consider to be a shocking upset, Richard Rider has actually kept an opponent down for the three count!
1!
2!
3!
Winner - Richard Rider
Following the bell, Rider doesn’t even get to celebrate the win cause Collateral Damage Champ Heather Haze and Alexis Makarios hit the ring attacking the both of them, dumping Rider out and turning their attention to Dawn who is down.
JR Freeman: Are you kidding me, Dawn just got beat and now this? How is this even fair??
Alfonso Banks: This is what happens when you lie with the likes of Bella Madison! They are going to teach her a lesson.
JR Freeman: 2 on 1???
Alfonso Banks: A HARD lesson!
Just as Alexis and Haze have Dawn in their grasp.
“I DON’T GIVE A DAMN BOUT MY BAD REPUTATION!”
Cameron Russow flanked by Alanah O’Connell and United Champ Bella Madison come running out and make a dash right for the ring. As they slide in, Alexis and Heather powder out.
JR Freeman: Oh my goodness there she is, former PWS Women’s Champion and now Hall of Famer, Cameron O’Neil...er...RUSSOW! She said she was gonna be here this week!
Alfonso Banks: And sticking her nose in directly where it doesn’t belong!
JR Freeman: ARE YOU HIGH?!? Have you NOT been paying attention to anything?
Alfonso Banks: Uhhh...
Bella and Alanah check on Dawn as Cameron grabs a microphone from the ring attendant and glares up the ramp at Lexi and Haze.
Cameron Russow: I don’t know what the hell you two are even thinking about doing here to Dawn but I’m sorry, I couldn’t sit back and watch you do this to her again, or hurt someone else. You know, I listened to you two leading up to this week. It’s all rather pathetic! Running down anyone that remotely disagrees with you. It’s pathetic and if you think I’m going to sit back in our training facility, that you were invited to Haze, and watch you run roughshod over what I helped build just like you tried to do to my students 2 weeks ago, I got a rude awakening for you both.
JR Freeman: Oh my goodness.
Alfonso Banks: Does this mean?
Cameron Russow: Now don’t anyone need to worry, I am still very much retired from in-ring competition but when you screw with MY STUDENTS you are calling down a whole fury of fucking crazy that YOU LEXI KNOW and HAZE I HAVE ZERO ISSUES IN SHOWING YOU WHAT I AM ABOUT! Ya’ll talk alot of game, but when fact remains, that’s just it. You are ALL talk and guess what girls, I am here ALL NIGHT to make sure that you’re lives are going to be nothing shy than a living HELL if you keep trying to screw with my kids.
From the top of the ramp we see Alexis and Haze talking back and forth and just as it looks like they’re about to come back to the ring, they both turn around and head right to the back. Cameron shakes her head and turns towards Bella and Alanah that have Dawn on her feet and checks on her as her music plays and the cameras focus on our commentary team.
Alfonso Banks: What the hell was that? I wanted to see a fight!
JR Freeman: Well it appears Alexis and Haze rather save themselves for the main event tonight. My God, we’re just getting started here on Riot. What the hell else can happen?
Morgan Baker vs. Patty
In our second contest we saw the ever-sassy and mysterious “Patty” make her return to PWS: Apex facing the hottest young talent to actually make it out of the developmental program, Morgan Baker! Patty tried to take charge early but the resilient Morgan kept making a comeback and seemingly had counters to her counters counters which did nothing but ENRAGE the street-tough ring rat which was ultimately her undoing when she charged at Morgan to throw out a desperation spear and to her surprise Morgan leapfrogged and caught her with the Trouble In Paradise out of nowhere!
JR Freeman: OH MIOS DIOS!!!
Alfonso Banks: THE ATHLETICISM OF THIS GIRL!
1!
2!
3!
JR Freeman: And DOWN goes Patty!
Alfonso Banks: And NOT in her usual way involving screams to a certain deity on her bac-
JR Freeman: As a great man once said, WOULD YOU STOP!?
Winner - Morgan Baker
(Cameras switch to the back as we see Cameron Russow scanning the halls of the arena.)
Cameron Russow: COME OUT, COME OUT, WHEREVER YOU ARE!!!!
(She continues to search til she comes across the room with the very name she was looking for. Walks right up and slams her fist right against the door.)
Cameron Russow: AVON BITCH, TIME WE HAD A CHAT!
(The door creaks open and Alexis Makarios comes out of the room, closing the door behind her. She crosses her arms and looks at Cam. She speaks in a degrading tone toward her)
Alexis Makarios: I'm so sorry, Cam. Heather is unavailable at the moment. She has a big, important match tonight and I would hate for her to be distracted by the likes of… well… you.
Cameron Russow: Oh so her little Aussie poodle comes out to try and chase me off. Lexi, we’ve known each other long enough to know that’s not how I operate. So do yourself a favor, walk your ass back in that room and tell your new “bestie” that I would like to have a word with her.
Alexis Makarios: Yeah… that's not gonna happen. You also know how I operate. See… you hold absolutely no authority around here, especially to just show up and act like we have to do what you want? Nah, it doesn't work that way. So why don't you turn around and go do what you do best… WALK… AWAY…
(She smirks, proud of herself.)
Cameron Russow: Oh, you’re real proud of yourself for that one, aren’t ya? At least I didn’t need to....whore myself out to remain relevant. If you catch my drift. It’s ok though, I mean....after all at least I won’t have to worry about going down in history as the biggest coward champion in the long history of PWS. I knew when my time was up...tell me something though....when are you and your long time fiance gonna finally settle down? I mean, that clock has to be ticking by now.
(Alexis points at Cam, angry, and raises her voice.)
Alexis Makarios: I FUCKING DEFENDED AGAINST EVERYONE THEY PUT ME AGAINST! I don't make the matches so don't EVEN put that shit on me.
Cameron Russow: You’re right, you just basically confessed that you let my niece’s soon to be husband, Malachi walk away from Last Rites. Way to completely look like a true fighting champ, sis. All good though, you found your new flavor- I mean- friend....she’s the one I got business with, so move.
Alexis Makarios: Yeah… don't think so… "sis". Sure, I admit I didn't put my heart into the match with Malachi and Dan. This was back before I realized just how corrupt everything and everyone around here was. So sue me for actually trying to do something NICE and give the man the boost he NEEDED. We all know he needed it more than I did.
(Cameron smirks almost wickedly and leans in.)
Cameron Russow: It’s a bullshit excuse, Lexi. Let’s try something more real fitting, shall we? More like, you were far to chicken shit in knowing that you would have finally had no choice but face the one man you know you could never beat. That is the true tarnish of your entire reign...KNOWING that you can NEVER beat Mack McKane.
Alexis Makarios: You think I dodged Mack?
(Cam nods)
Cameron Russow: I KNOW you did
(Alexis tilts her head slightly, her breathing becomes ragged as she closes her eyes, trying to keep from flipping out… which… doesn’t work)
Alexis Makarios: YOU ARE DAMN RIGHT I DODGED THAT FUCKING PSYCHOPATH!!! I KNOW I CAN OUT WRESTLE HIM, BUT THAT ASSHOLE IS NOT A WRESTLER… HE IS A DAMNED CRAZED MANIAC WHO LIKES TO USE ALL SORTS OF UNGODLY WEAPONS AND WIELDS A POCKET KNIFE! I WAS MORE THAN HAPPY TO PUT MALACHI'S LIFE ON THE LINE OVER MY OWN!!!!!
Cameron Russow: And yet you have the gull to criticize Alanah who constantly put herself at risk through a pandemic among many other crazier things. You are nothing more than a fucking hypocrite Alexis and I hope like hell she kicks your fucking ass.
(Alexis, whose face is now bright red with rage, pounces towards Cam in a split second. Suddenly the locker room door flings open as Heather rushes over and holds Lexi back, trying to talk some sense to her.)
Heather Haze: Hey girl...Hey...look at me...look at me...this bitch ain’t worth it. Just breathe. Take some deep breaths.
(Alexis takes a few deep breaths and calms down enough to not be attacking Cam. She stays in
the doorway as things proceed. Heather then looks over to where Cam was as an evil smirk comes across her face.)
Cameron Russow: Well, look who finally came out of her hiding place? Cameron FORMERLY O’NEIL Russow, we meet at last.
(Heather rolls her eyes)
Heather Haze: Yeah I know who you are...and if you’ve come here for an apology then you’re wasting your time. So why don’t you move along or skidaddle outta here. I don’t know. Just vanish off somewhere. Lexi and I have better things to do...like prepare for our tag match.
Cameron Russow: Nah, see....I can’t do that. Because after your little display at Levi’s facility a couple weeks ago, and seeing as I’m one of the head trainers, we need to have a chat about your professionalism around my kids.
(Heather shook her head, giggling like she heard a joke or something.)
Heather Haze: Excuse me? Professionalism? What I did was show those wussies what our business is all about. Too bad you’re a lame trainer who keeps them sheltered. Hey, wasn’t Allanah one of your students? You must be really proud doing a bang up job on her. How do you feel that all your students are just a bunch of wimps and pussies!!
(Cameron’s face turns almost deadly. Closing in a little bit closer.)
Cameron Russow: Oh you mean the same Alanah that has already pinned your ass twice? Actually I am very proud of her. At least she’s not off making demands like some sort of fucking diva forgetting that the very title she holds is actually a HARDCORE TITLE! In fact, I’m willing to bet she would do it all that was asked of her and still smile. But that’s not the point here. You took advantage of a situation, broke one of my student’s noses. I don’t know what bullshit school you came up in, but that is NOT how we do things. We work you hard but we will never punish anyone for no reason. The next time, and you will be fucking lucky if there is one, you pull anything like this....well....let’s just say that you’ll see that my sister and my niece are actually the level headed ones of the women in our family. Make sure you ask Alexis exactly what I’m talking about because she knows first hand exactly what I’m capable of.
(Cameron goes from deadly to a sweet smile, turns on her heels ...but before she does.)
Cameron Russow: Just because I retired, doesn’t mean I lost my step. Tootles, bitches!
(And before anything else can be said, Cameron skips down the hall. Heather turned to Alexis, who was still pissed off.)
Alexis Makarios: They just get more and more annoying every time I see them…
Heather Haze: Ignore her. She’s all talk anyway. Let’s focus on our tag match.
Alexis Makarios: Yeah, your right.
(The two walk into the locker room and close the door behind then as the cameras cut to a commercial)
Aiden Reynolds vs. Chris Blade
This one wasn’t close. It was NOT close, it was never gonna BE close, and anyone trying to tell you anything else is trying to sell you something. Aiden Reynolds has been damn near unstoppable since the DAY he walked into PWS:Apex and because one half of the inaugural and, let’s not forget, ONLY Tag Team champions we have so far. Coupled with the fact that his chiseled good looks are on a path with Collateral Damage champion Heather Haze, Reynolds wanted to put this one away as fast as he could and in the most impressive fashion possible. And did he ever deliver in spades. Chris Blade tried to put up a respectable fight but in the end he is, after all, Chris Blade.
JR Freeman: If we could find an accurate description for Chris Blade’s wrestling career these past few years...I just don’t even…
Alfonso Banks: He is the 2020 of wrestling careers.
JR Freeman: ...that is...hauntingly accurate.
It wasn’t long before Aiden had Blade on his shoulders as he sold out to the hard cam, winked and blew a kiss, and hit The Gold Coast Cutter.
Alfonso Banks: WHY IS EVERYTHING HE DOES SO PRETTY!?
1!
2!
3!
Winner - Aiden Reynolds
Miles Kasey vs. Cleo Phillips
Cleo Phillips was getting loose in the ring before her match even begins as her music fades out and all of a sudden we hear…
“WE ARE THE TRUE BELIEVERS!!!”
As “True Believers” by The Bouncing Souls hits and Levi Russow walks out on top of the ramp to a mixed ovation.
Levi Russow: Cleo I am sorry to say that due to the injuries Miles Kasey sustained in, what I’m led to understand, involved a scaffold and a tank of living piranha’s...admittedly a little miffed I didn’t think of that one first...unfortunately he is not cleared to compete here tonight. BUT! YOU Cleo...yes...I like you. See I like your grit, your determination. I like that things may not have gone your way so far but you never let it stop you. So I went out...and I found you...willing competition. A gift...from me...to you.
Before she knew what was going on, Kazimir Moskovitz was at the top of the ramp.
JR Freeman: KAZIMIR! IT’S KAZIMIR!
Alfonso Banks: Well we know Kazimir was a thorn in Cleo’s side for her first couple of matches, maybe this is where she’ll get a measure of payback!
Kazimir stormed the ring and flooded Cleo with multiple strikes and uncoordinated offense until he turned around screaming intensely for the crowd, ripping his jacket off. But Cleo has been waiting for her shot to get revenge on Kazimir for awhile and she has studied the tape because she absorbed his initial offense and when he turned back around charging at her in the corner he’s met with her Bronx Kick! Kazimir hits the back of his head hard as he rolls ass over tea kettle back into the ropes popping up and falling into them, dazed he falls out to be met with her New York Minute discus forearm!
JR Freeman: SHE’S GOT HIM ON THE ROPES!
Alfonso Banks: LITERALLY!
The discus forearm spins him around as he bounds chest first off the ropes straight back into Cleo’s snarling grasp! She hits him with the huge Set It Off!
JR Freeman: SET! IT! OFF!
Alfonso Banks: ITS THE INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHER, JR!
1!
2!
3!
Winner - Cleo Phillips
Main Event
Alexis Makarios & Heather Haze vs. Jack Russow & Malachi
JR Freeman: There is an uneasy feeling in the air now folks.
Alfonso Banks: What did you expect, JR? We’ve had a night full of hard-hitting action and now we’ve come to the main event which will undoubtedly hit hardest of all because NOBODY likes each other!
JR Freeman: Well Heather Haze and Alexis Makarios have deemed themselves friends but we haven’t seen them put under pressure yet so I guess time is gonna have to tell on that one.
Alfonso Banks: Yeah...in a different match where the pickings aren’t so easy!
JR Freeman: How do you mean?
Alfonso Banks: Jack Russow and Malachi getting along? A pipe dream. Jack Russow and Malachi even CO-EXISTING? You must be drinking the Irish coffee. These two might tear each other apart and all Alexis and Heather have to do is sit back and WATCH!
(“Mz Hyde” by Halestorm hits as Alexis Makarios comes stalking out onto the ramp looking very sure of herself as she suddenly sees someone in the crowd and starts freaking out celebrating as the camera pans over and shows Gracie Lopez and Jenn Carpenter-Lopez who are waving wildly and cheering her on!)
JR Freeman: IS THAT!?
Alfonso Banks: IT’S JENN AND GRACIE!!! WHAT A NIGHT!!! I HAVEN’T SEEN THOSE LADIES IN AGES!
(Before Alexis can get too carried away, “I Wanna Be Bad” by Willa Ford hits the pa system as Heather Haze comes seductively swaggering out onto the ramp holding the Collateral Damage championship high as she slings it over her shoulder walking up to Alexis as they both look at each other...and do a synchronized secret handshake before walking to the ring.)
Alfonso Banks: Look at that! They even have a handshake and everything! These boys are SCREWED!
(As they get in the ring and loosen up, Jeremy McKinnon’s voice suddenly screams…)
“KEEP YOUR HOPES UP HIGH AND YOUR HEAD DOWN LOW!!!”
(“All I Want” by A Day To Remember hits the PA as Jack Russow comes bouncing out and swaggering his way onto the ramp as he stops at the top and reaches up towards the sky as a spotlight shines down but before he can do his usual shtick, we hear a record scratch as “blood/water” by grandson starts playing as Malachi just comes stalking out from the back, shouldering Jack out of the way and stomping his way to the ring.)
Alfonso Banks: And you gotta think THAT right there is gonna be the story of tonight.
(Jack shrugs it off and works out his shoulder shaking it out but instead of sliding into the ring, he bops over to the far side of the arena and smashes himself happily into the plexiglass screen as we see Jesse Russow giving him a pep talk while Cameron Russow glares a hole through Heather Haze. Jack and Jesse bump fists through the glass as Jack slides up onto the apron and pops through the ropes sliding his jacket off as Alexis and Heather nicely agree that Alexis should start the match as Jack bounces in place in his corner getting ready until Malachi shoves him out of the way screaming it was HIS match to start. Jack, trying to keep the peace PROBABLY off a promise to Alanah, holds his hands up and steps through the ropes onto the apron.)
JR Freeman: Discretion is the better part of valor, I suppose.
Alfonso Banks: You know that spoiled little brat Alanah has him so whipped he has to do what her brother says in this match!
*DING*
(Aaaand before Alexis and Malachi can lock up, Jack suddenly reaches out and slaps Malachi on the chest to tag himself in. As Jack hops through the ropes he and Malachi come nose to nose...the submissive “whatever” completely gone from Jack’s expression. They start jawing at each other a bit and coincidentally Malachi shoves Jack backwards JUST in time to miss an attempted big boot from Alexis! Alexis kicks off from the corner and bounds back to the middle of the ring screaming at both of them as Jack looks at his chest...then at Malachi...and shrugs off that he owes Mal one so he tags him back in.)
JR Freeman: What is the opposite of Murphy's Law?
Alfonso Banks: Blake’s DWI.
JR Freeman: What?
Alfonso Banks: What?
(Mal slithers back into the ring as he and Alexis size each other up and do all the typical start of the match chain wrestling shenanigans until Alexis backs Mal into her corner where Heather Haze makes the first tag for their team. Alexis holds him in place as Heather gets a free shot to his ribs before taking over the side headlock. She holds Malachi down for a few moments until Malachi fires her off into the ropes but on the rebound, Haze looks for the big Yakuza kick! Malachi side steps, back sweeps her leg, and hits a standing moonsault for a one and a half count! He slaps his hands telling the ref to count faster and while he’s barking at the ref, Haze has slithered over and tagged Alexis who climbs to the top rope.)
Alfonso Banks: ALEXIS LOOKING TO END IT EARLY!
(Malachi pops up to his feet, still arguing with the ref, when in a tantrum he kicks the bottom rope which unwittingly crotches Alexis on the top rope as he turns around and sees her groaning in pain as he looks back at Jack who’s giving him the most confused gaze in history. Malachi, of course, simply takes the moment to flip Jack off and he starts to climb up to get Alexis looking for the big superplex but as he gets her there, she holds on as Haze climbs back onto the apron and tags herself in as she slides between the ropes and shoves her face into Malachi’s crotch looking to powerbomb him! Tower of Doom! Haze powerbombs Malachi who still had a hold of Alexis who gets superplexed off the top rope! The fans in attendance pop as Malachi crawls over to Jack who’s going crazy for a tag until...Malachi realizes who he’s crawling towards.)
Alfonso Banks: Yeah no that...that makes sense.
JR Freeman: Kid you just took a HELLACIOUS shot, don’t be a hero, tag your partner!
(Jack and Malachi are screaming at each other with Malachi adamant he can handle it on his own as he turns around into a big spear from Haze!
1!
2!
THR-JACK MAKES THE SAVE!
JR Freeman: Jack Russow taking his time there…
Alfonso Banks: Well think about it, JR. You’re right there, your tag team partner is almost DONE, and he REFUSES to tag you. Could you blame the man for letting that stubbornness take the L?
JR Freeman: It’s just a good thing Jack Russow remembered that HE’D be taking the “L” too and snapped out of it in time!
(Haze slaps the mat and gets up turning to presumably attack Jack but she’s met with a snap superkick for her trouble! Once she drops, Jack LITERALLY grabs Malachi by his beard, drags him over to their corner, and slaps his chest to tag himself in as he rushes over to the corner closest to the downed Haze…)
JR Freeman: What are we about to see!?
(Jack flings himself in one fluid motion into the HUGE November Pain corkscrew 630! Jesse Russow is going crazy on the outside!)
1!
2!
BREAK UP BY ALEXIS!
(Alexis is just mounted on Jack punching him as hard as she can until Jack uses a passing guard and rolls her off as she climbs back to her feet while he effortlessly kips up as he looks for a quick memento to his father with the ...BITCHSLAP! Rolling kesagiri chop from Hell that Alexis dodges by just falling backwards onto her rear as she looks at him a little astounded. Jack puts his hands on his knees absolutely snarling at her as he pinches his fingers together to show her how close she was to real pain as Heather Haze has recovered and flies up behind him with The Jailbait! Alexis dives on Malachi trying to stop him from breaking up the attempt!)
1!
2!
MALACHI THROWS EVERYTHING HE HAS INTO ALEXIS SENDING THEM BOTH CRASHING THROUGH THE PIN!
JR Freeman: OH MIOS DIOS!!!
(This time it’s Malachi who drags Jack’s half-unconscious body to the corner and tags himself in as he slaps Jack across the face a few times as he turns around to be hit with Alexis FLYING out of nowhere with the Greetings From Australia!)
1!
2!
THRE-JACK *JUST* FALLS ON THE COUNT!
(Alexis is now losing her composure, slapping the mat and screaming at the ref as her and Haze look at each other as Jack rolls back to the apron trying to lift himself up. Alexis pulls Malachi up screaming in his face that it’s over. She connects with the backstabber portion of the Aussie Lock but lets that launch Malachi forward into The Jailbait RKO from Haze!)
JR Freeman: WHAT A TAG TEAM MANEUVER!!!
(But as Malachi is falling, his hands flew out to his sides and Jack Russow JUST caught the skin of it for a legal tag! As Alexis stands up, Jack flies in with…
...MALACHI’S SLINGSHOT CUTTER!?)
JR Freeman: HOLY SHIT!
Alfonso Banks: THAT LOOKED FAMILIAR!!!
(As Alexis crumbled, Haze was still covering Malachi slapping the mat for the ref to count as he tries to explain to her that Malachi isn’t the legal man letting Jack slither up behind her as she stomped her way up screaming at the referee...letting him quickly lock in the abdominal stretch and flip it over with the massive Cut The Cord!!!)
JR Freeman: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!?
Alfonso Banks: NO! NO WAY! THERE’S NO WAY IN HELL!!!
1!
2!
...THREE!!!
Winners - Jack Russow & Malachi
(Jack punches the ground in victory as Alexis holds her head on the outside looking completely bewildered before getting up to collect Haze as she helps her back up the ramp. She’s screaming threats and promises of revenge at the ring where Jack Russow holds his neck beaming from ear to ear as he simply responds with a defiant middle finger. As Malachi stirs in the corner shaking out the cobwebs, Jack looks at him...before walking over and extending his hand.)
JR Freeman: Well no one thought these two could co-exist together but that was a helluva tag match!
Alfonso Banks: Yeah but think of the PRIDE Malachi has...the fact he not only didn’t get the win, but almost lost it for his team?
(And sure enough Malachi kicks Jack’s hand away as Jack paces back and forth like a feral cat. Malachi is screaming at him about not needing his help and he had them right where they want him and they’re bickering back and forth until Alanah O’Connell and Bella Madison slide into the ring to calm their collective boys down.)
JR Freeman: WELL you can say what you want about THEM but Alexis Makarios and Heather Haze just got a firsthand account of what happens when you mess with their LADIES, tonight!
Alfonso Banks: Yeah but nine times out of ten...THIS won’t be the outcome. And look at it! They’re STILL glaring at each other.
(When the girls have calmed both boys down...they don’t shake hands...they don’t even nod. They just stare at each other...and flip the bird in each other's directions. The girls let out exasperated sighs knowing that’s probably the best they’re going to get.)
JR Freeman: Well folks the next time you see us, we’ll be coming to you LIVE for PWS:Apex DISHONORED! Our last hurrah in Sin City! Make sure you keep up with all the updates on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, wherever you get your media sources! For Alfonso Banks, I’m JR Freeman and we’ll see YOU...the next time we start a Riot!
