PWS: Apex Presents Riot
Tuesday, January 26th, 2021
Live from the PWS Arena
New York, NY
Tuesday, January 26th, 2021
Live from the PWS Arena
New York, NY
(The show comes on the air, as the PWS: APEX logo scrolls across the screen, before the shot opens up to inside PWS Arena, as “Trials” by STARSET is blazing over the sound system. We get some shots of the socially distanced crowd in attendance, before cutting to the commentary desk to Alf and JR.)
JR Freeman: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to PWS: APEX RIOT! Our last show had a TON of action, and we’ve got all the fall out for you here tonight. It really is a jam packed show we have, headlined by a huge in-ring return to PWS, but also a debut to the APEX brand, as Audrey Russow, formerly Audrey James, will be going one-on-one with one half of the PWS: APEX Tag Team Champions, Alexis Makarios!
Alfonso Banks: After what happened last show, I’m sure Alexis is going to be looking to enact a little revenge on Lady Russow, did you hear she had to take THREE showers just to get the frosting out of her hair? She even missed all that happened at the end of the show because of it!
JR Freeman: Well, I can’t really say she didn’t deserve it…
Alfonso Banks: You shut your mouth!
JR Freeman: I will not! It’s our job to talk and tell the good people at home what we’ve got in store for them tonight. In addition to Audrey vs Alexis, we will also see two of our champions in non-title action, as PWS: APEX Collateral Damage Champion Cleo Phillips will be taking on Shawn Young.
Alfonso Banks: And PWS: APEX United Champion Jack Russow will be taking on the other half of the Tag Team Champions, Heather Haze.
JR Freeman: Plus, after the events at the end of the last Riot, Malachi will be able to get a measure of revenge for his wife, Bella, as he goes one on one with Gracie Lopez.
Alfonso Banks: Not sure that I’d say making that match was right, but I guess I understand it.
JR Freeman: Are you kidding? Gracie blindsided Bella and fooled everyone. She deserves whatever she gets tonight. But we’ll start things off tonight with a match between Jonathan Sanders and Tayler Parks.
(Suddenly, the opening of “I Made It” by Kevin Rudolf starts to play over the sound system, as the fans get out of their seats, as PWS Hall of Famer, Josiah Cena makes his way out onto the stage.)
JR Freeman: Whoa! We weren’t expecting this!
Alfonso Banks: What’s he doing out here, though? We have a match to get to.
(Cena waves to the crowd, as he makes his way down the ramp.)
Meg Reynolds: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome PWS Hall of Famer, and Head Trainer and Staff Consultant of PWS: APEX, Josiah Cena!
Alfonso Banks: Staff Consultant? Since when? What has he done to-
JR Freeman: Let me just stop you right there, Alf.
(Josiah makes his way to ringside, and walks up the steel steps and steps into the ring. He’s handed a microphone from a technician, as he paces around the ring before stopping in the middle and looking out at the crowd.)
Josiah Cena: Weeeeelllllllcooooooommmmmeeee to Tuuuuuuuuuuesday Night RIOT!
(The fans cheer.)
Josiah Cena: Now, as some of you may know, I was brought on here to PWS: APEX to serve as one of the head trainers, alongside Cameron Russow, after Audrey took her maternity leave last year. Now, after there’s been some...changes in management, I’ve been brought on to be a staff consultant as well….so basically...I can just show up and say hi from time to time, like tonight. Right here, in New York, New York!
(The fans cheer for the cheap plug, as Cena gives a cheesy grin.)
Josiah Cena: But in all seriousness, I’m out here because we advertised that there would be an announcement made regarding the Collateral Damage Championship match at Demon’s Run. The match we saw at Crusade between Cleo Phillips and Tayler Parks was definitely a brutal and vicious affair, one worthy of being associated with the Collateral Damage Championship. The Collateral Damage Championship certainly has a storied history in PWS, with some great names holding it in the past. There have been many, many, many bloody and brutal brawls over it, and I think it’s time we kind of go back to that. Every champion has had their fair share of challengers, and Cleo Phillips will be no exception. She came out here last Riot and made some bold claims. She talked about how she wouldn’t go down without a fight, and even dared the powers that be to try and take the title from her. Well, we’re not trying to do that, but we ARE going to see if she can back up everything she says. So, with all that being said, at Demon’s Run, Cleo Phillips will defend her PWS: APEX Collateral Damage Championship against…
(The fans wait in anticipation.)
Josiah Cena: Shawn Young…
(The fans cheer at the mention of Shawn Young.)
Josiah Cena: Jonathan Sanders….
(More boos from the crowd.)
Josiah Cena:...and Tyson Sykes in a Four Corners Deathmatch.!
(The fans cheer.)
JR Freeman: My God...that’s going to be brutal!
Alfonso Banks: Well, Cleo DID say she was up for any challenge…
Josiah Cena: I wish all the competitors in the match the best of luck, and I hope everyone enjoys the show tonight.
(Josiah gives a wave, as his music hits, and he exits the ring, and makes his way back up the ramp.)
JR Freeman: Wow! What a match made for Demon’s Run. That’s going to be insane!
Alfonso Banks: I hope Cleo Phillips is ready for that, it could get really ugly with that combination of people in it.
JR Freeman: I just wonder if Shawn Young is going to have it in him to get as nasty as the others are more than likely willing to be.
Alfonso Banks: Only time will tell. I guess we’ll find out at Demon’s Run.
JR Freeman: Indeed we will, but for now, it’s time for our opening match of the night, as Jonathan Sanders takes on Tayler Parks! Let’s send it back to the ring, and Meg Reynolds.
Jonathan Sanders vs. Tayler Parks
(Before the match gets underway, we cut to ringside where we see JR Freeman and Alfonso Banks at the announcers desk, and they're being joined by Tyson Sykes who is dressed to the T in a sleeveless suit jacket top, no shirt, a dark green tie lazily dangling over his bare chest, and his ring gear from the waist down. Oh, and of course a backwards black baseball hat. He grabs a headset and sets down next to the two broadcast partners, who seem reasonably confused by his presence.)
Tyson Sykes: Howdy howdy, nice to see ya boys. I had the night off so I figured what better way to spend it then with my best buds Alfonso Banks and... Don't tell me...
JR Freeman: ...
Tyson Sykes: I wanna sayyyyy... Vernon right?
JR Freeman: Uhh no it's actu-
Tyson Sykes: Yeahcoolsoundsgood. Anyways we have a helluva match comin' up boys so I figured with all the Collateral Damage Championship talk going on it'd be as good a time as any to scout some of the potential competition.
Alfonso Banks: I think that sounds like a great idea! And we're happy to have you aboard, right Vernon?
JR Freeman: I hate you.
(The match starts, as both Parks and Sanders look over at Sykes, who simply nods to both of them, shouting “Impress me!” The action starts hot and heavy, as both competitors connect with fast paced offense in the early going. The early stages of the match are spent with each competitor trying to gain the advantage, both going on offensive flurries, and showing what they’re capable of pulling off. The first pin attempt goes to Sanders, after he hit Parks with the Shot of Seratonin overhead kick, getting a two count.)
JR Freeman: Some really good back and forth action going on here.
Alfonso Banks: I guess they are both trying their best for our guest out here.
JR Freeman: Or….or….they’re just trying to win the match.
Tyson Sykes: Yeah both Sanders and Parks are in top form here tonight. Honestly I'm impressed.
JR Freeman: Well we've been dancing around the elephant in the room all night Tyson, but does you being out here have anything to do with Jonathan Sanders coming out during your match last week?
Tyson Sykes: Absolutely not. I got my eyes set on one thing and one thing only right now and that's the Collateral Damage Championship. If Jonathan Sanders is just scouting like me? Good on him. But if the kid wants to get fresh and is looking for a fight? I'm going to make it real easy for him to find me.
(The match continues, as Parks starts to make a comeback, hitting move after move. She gets a couple near falls, but her momentum is stopped in its tracks when Sanders nails a vicious clothesline that sends Parks flipping to the mat. Sanders tries to follow it up with trying to lock in the Dopemine Defficiency, but Parks wrangles out and escapes the hold. The finish comes when Parks had Sanders on the mat, and went for the Walls of Death, but Sanders was able to twist out of the hold, got to his feet, but gets caught when going for a clothesline, and Parks nails him with the Breakdown, and makes the cover.)
1…
2…
3!!!
Meg Reynolds: Here is your winner, Tayler Parks!
JR Freeman: Wow! What a match that was. Some great back and forth action between these two, but in the end, it was Parks who managed to get the victory.
Alfonso Banks: Certainly nothing for Sanders to be ashamed of. It was a great showing, and that match really could have went either way. Would you say you were impressed, Sykes?
Tyson Sykes: Of course I'm impressed, they're both impressive athletes. I'll never take anything away from anybody. You know who else is impressive? Cleo Phillips. And unfortunately for her, she's got something I want. So I don't care who I have to go through, how many of my matches Sanders watches, and how ready Cleo is to defend that strap. Tyson Sykes is hungry for some gold baby, and it's just about time to fucking feast.
(Tyson tosses down his headset and rips off his suit jacket, staring daggers at the ring as Parks celebrates her win.)
WINNER - Tayler Parks
(The camera cuts backstage to Tayna Reihl, interviewer and lead reporter for PWS: Apex. With a mic in hand and a cheerful smile on her face, she walks confidently through the halls of the locker room, a few wrestlers and staff passing by in the background. Turning down a hallway, Tayna stops in front of one particular door and stands outside of it, turning to face the camera, which is now stationed in place. She holds the mic up to herself and begins to speak.)
Tayna Reihl: This is Tayna Reihl, and I'm about to talk with PWS: Apex newcomer Mike... Hawk.
(Tayna is very careful to separate the two names.)
Tayna Reihl: I'm hoping to get some insight as to what his plans are going forward in the company, discuss his victory last week over "Hollywood" Richard Rider, and overall help the PWS: Apex fans get to know the Canadian star in the making!
(Having said this, Reihl knocks on the door, and after a few seconds Hawk opens it. He's wearing jeans and a t-shirt that reads "Ask Me About my Fist In Your Face".)
Mike Hawk: You rang?
Tayna Reihl: Mr. Hawk, I'm...
(Tayna's cut off suddenly by Hawk's face lighting up, giving a genuine smile.)
Mike Hawk: I know exactly who you are! Come in, come in!
(Tayna follows Mike inside, where it looks more furnished than expected; there's a couch, a TV, a shelf with miscellaneous items, including the Golden Globe he "won" in his previous promo, among other things. The camera focuses on each item, before panning over to Hawk and Reihl.)
Tayna Reihl: Wow, they're certainly treating you well.
Mike Hawk: What? Oh, no, I brought most of this from home.
(Hawk sits backwards on a chair like a teacher from an 80's movie trying to connect with the cool kids.)
Mike Hawk: So, what kind of cookies do you have?
Tayna Reihl: Uhhh... pardon me?
Mike Hawk: The cookies. Chocolate? Coconut? Those ones with the...
(Mike is cut off suddenly by Tayna.)
Tayna Reihl: Mr. Hawk, I'm not a girl scout. I'm in my 30's.
Mike Hawk: That's what they all say!
(There's an awkward pause as Tayna thinks of how to respond to this.)
Mike Hawk:...So, do you have cookies or not?
Tayna Reihl: No, I'm here to discuss your recent signing to Apex.
Mike Hawk: Oh, that. Yeah, this company's great, lots of stars, all with the same last name. Now I don't want to say that there's a conspiracy, but I also don't want to NOT say that.
Tayna Reihl: Um... fascinating. So, Mr. Hawk, what would you say is your driving force in Apex? What are your aspirations, your goals in this company?
Mike Hawk: World domination.
Tayna Reihl: What?
Mike Hawk: What?
Tayna Reihl: “World Domination"? So you mean, competing in promotions all around the globe.
Mike Hawk: Yes, of course. Well, mostly. Okay, no, but the point is, I'm planning on working my way through this pitiful roster of clowns and clownitas... and the occasional mime. And an octopus in a hat. You know who you are!
(Tayna pauses, staring at Mike with a mixture of confusion and regret.)
Tayna Reihl: Mr. Hawk, are you going to take this seriously!?
Mike Hawk: What!? Of course I am! I resent the accusation that I haven't been! I am a Golden Globe award winner!
(At this, Hawk points towards the "award" that he "won" in his promo against Richard Rider.)
Tayna Reihl: No you're not! That's a prop!
Mike Hawk: You're a prop!
Tayna Reihl: Look, in the spirit of professionalism, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you didn't mean that in a horribly sexist context and we'll just move on.
Mike Hawk: Yeah, that's probably for the best.
Tayna Reihl: So, you defeated Richard Rider last week.
Mike Hawk: Of course I did, Richard Rider's a fuckwit.
Tayna Reihl: ...As I was saying, do you think that victory was a strong start, a good first showing for you as a potential future star in this company?
Mike Hawk: Okay, first of all, the word "potential" in that sentence is not needed. I am a future star. And no amount of self-entitled whining on the internet is going to change that, no matter how loud, obnoxious, or correct it may be. Second of all, sure. I consider it a dominant display. In the same way that a housecat vs. Godzilla is a dominant display. The cat thinks it's hot shit, but Godzilla's the king of the monsters. Though at the same time, nobody's going to watch Godzilla vs. Mittens, you know what I mean? But put Godzilla against King Kong... now you've got something!
Tayna Reihl: And who would you say is your "King Kong", in this scenario?
Mike Hawk: How the fuck should I know!?
Tayna Reihl: ...Fair enough.
Mike Hawk: But I do know this... whoever it is, they had better watch out. Because this Godzilla has a gun. A gun that shoots smaller Godzillas, also with guns. ...Okay, that analogy got away from me.
Tayna Reihl: Well, I wasn't going to say it, but... yes, it did. Anyhow, ladies and gentlemen, that's all the time I have for this interview. Until next time...
(Mike pops up from behind her and leans in, speaking into her microphone.)
Mike Hawk: Go fuck yourself!
(He points and the camera, giving a sly wink, as the camera fades to black.)
Commercial break
(Camera switches to the back as we see Tayna Reihl standing in front of the PWS: Apex logo.)
Tayna Reihl: Ladies and gentlemen, we are just a few weeks away from Demon’s Run. In fact our next Riot is our go home show and we’re still awaiting to find out who will be taking on the PWS: Apex Tag Team Champions, Alexis Makarios and Heather Haze AND who will be taking on the seemingly unbeatable PWS World Champion, Mack McKane. Well joining me right now is the PWS: Apex President Ambika Renton and I believe she is about to answer some of those questions!
(Ambika steps into the scene and smiles at Tayna.)
Ambika Renton: Hey Tayna.
Tayna Reihl: Hi Ms. Renton, first of all I know we talked about making this a PWS: Apex online exclusive but you figured right here tonight we’d just go ahead and make the match announcements for Demon’s Run.
Ambika Renton: Yes, so Demon’s Run is our first big show of the year and while we are still limited with the crowd we can have, we are indeed excited about this show. I get the honor of naming two of the top matches and first up is the PWS: Apex Tag Team Championship match as Alexis and Heather WILL defend their tag titles for the first time ever. Now typically we would have the former champions get their rematch, but I just received word that Morgan is gonna be down until probably March. So sadly Mr. Kasey and Ms. Baker will have to wait, and the two individuals that I think deserve a shot are going to be busy as well. SO, seeing as they made their presence known in the Vixens of Pain’s Championship Celebration, Daniel and Audrey Russow have found themselves in the right place at the right time. So at Demon’s Run they will go up against the ...ahem...Vixens of Pain....
(From just off camera we hear a bit of a snicker as Ambika looks over for a moment and it goes silent.)
Ambika Renton: Ok, let me try this again, at Demon’s Run Daniel and Audrey Russow will face Champions Alexis Makarios and Heather Haze a.k.a. The VIxens of Pain for the PWS: Apex Tag Team Championship.
Tayna Reihl: That is a great match there and it should be awesome to see how the husband and wife team compare to the best friends team.
Ambika Renton: That’s the plan plus we know it’s not going to be a pretty match after what happened.
Tayna Reihl: Indeed, now as for the PWS Champion, Mack McKane?
Ambika Renton: Ah yes, well it’s been sort of interesting to try and figure out who indeed deserves a number one contenders shot. Mack has been just amazing as our champion for almost a year, so now we’re looking as to what will be next for him and the first obvious choice is the man he beat for that title, someone who never got his rematch. And that is Malachi.
Tayna Reihl: WOW! So we’re about to get Mack vs. Malachi Part 3?
Ambika Renton: As I look at it, Malachi never got his rematch that he rightfully deserves.
(You hear a voice clear from just off camera that catches both Tayna and Ambika’s attention and as they turn they see General Manager Laura Phoenix step onto the screen.)
Laura Phoenix: Hey Ambika, Tayna. Sorry, I didn’t want to interrupt this announcement but...Ambika, I have to speak up.
Ambika Renton: By all means, Laura, please do.
(Laura takes a deep breath for a moment.)
Laura Phoenix: Look, I know you may think that I’m a little miffed at you for the whole not telling me about my husband facing off against Jack at Crusade. And I admit, for a couple of weeks I was but I got what you were doing and the fact that they are facing off again at Demon’s Run should be amazing. ALSO, I’m not saying that my son-in-law doesn’t deserve a true rematch after so long, and I feel horrible about him not getting that chance. But I feel like maybe we’re missing out on something big here.
(Ambika looks at Tayna a bit confused and then back to Laura.)
Ambika Renton: Go on.
Laura Phoenix: Well, the last few weeks Sierra Williams has really proven herself to be one of the top notch superstars in PWS. I have been thoroughly impressed with her performance as of late and I honestly believe that, while she did fail in her first attempt against Mack, that maybe that stumbling block was actually a jumping off point. She’s been amazing lately and I believe that she deserves another shot at the PWS Championship, and I believe it should be at Demon’s Run.
Ambika Renton: Well...what about Malachi?
Laura Phoenix: Like I said, Malachi does deserve his rematch, but I think making the PWS Championship a Triple Threat at Demon’s Run could be something truly spectacular.
(Ambika steps back for a moment and thinks.)
Ambika Renton: You know something, you’re right. Let’s make it happen.
Laura Phoenix: I’ll let them know. Thanks!
Ambika Renton: Thank you!
Tayna Reihl: And there we go, looks like Demon’s Run is going to be one hell of a show! Ambika, Laura, thank you for these great announcements and JR back to you an Alfonso!
Non-Title
Cleo Phillips vs. Shawn Young
(Cleo and Shawn start off pretty evenly matched. Shawn takes early advantage, putting focus on the left arm of Cleo. He continues to keep focus there, putting on as much pressure as he can to wear her down. She takes everything he can dish out, but when he puts her in a cross armbreaker on the weakened left arm, she begins to waiver and scream out in pain. The referee asks if she wants to give up, but she screams that she refuses.)
Alfonso Banks: That is a solid strategy from Shawn! Cleo is known for being brutal, so you have to focus on one area.
JR Freeman: And Shawn is doing that well. That left arm must be hurting pretty good!
(Cleo struggles but gets to the ropes, causing the referee to force Shawn to break the hold. Cleo begins to take control of the match, doing everything in her power to wear down her opponent. After several minutes of back and forth action, Cleo hits a “Set It Off” and goes for the pin.)
1…
2…
3!!!
Meg Reynolds: And your winner by pinfall… The PWS:APEX COLLATERAL DAMAGE CHAMPION… CLEO PHILLIPS!!!
(Cleo kicks the motionless body of Shawn out of the ring as she celebrates her victory.)
WINNER - Cleo Phillips
(The cameras cut to the back to show a small crowd hanging around in the back. The crowd consisted of Alexis Makarios, Heather Haze, Eddie Lopez, Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez, and Madison Carpenter. Alexis and Heather were clad in their ring gear, and can be seen doing some prep work for their matches. Alexis was taping up her wrists while Heather was touching up her makeup in a nearby mirror. Alexis looked over at Jenn.)
Alexis Makarios: Man, you bastards had all the fun last week! You don’t know what I would have given to be able to go out there and knock their damn teeth down their throat!
Heather Haze: You and me both, Lexi. After what the… psychopath did to our title celebration…
Alexis Makarios: I swear if I didn’t have to wash my hair THREE TIMES to get the frosting out… I would have been at your sides.
Heather Haze: I can see what you mean, girl, when you warned me that the Russow’s were nothing more than pain’s in the ass
(Eddie Lopez stood shaking his head, while his Ex wife started to talk.)
Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez: Well, I couldn’t take how they were treating you any longer. Everything is just bullshit, and I’ve had enough you know? Then the cake and stuff, yeah… I knew. It was just supposed to be him and Gracie but my sister and I took a separate flight, and hid in the back.
Eddie Lopez: I mean, I’ve known that family for ages, and… It’s time they get theirs.
Alexis Makarios: That and then some! I just can’t believe everything they get away with around here. Like they DIDN’T expect someone to eventually call them out on their shit.
Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez: If we did the same thing they did, we all would have been suspended and then some. It’s Bullshit.
Heather Haze: And Lexi and I have been fighting against them and their little nepotism for months!
Eddie Lopez: I’m not the one to speak my mind on things…
Madison Carpenter: LIES!
Eddie Lopez: Once!
Madison Carpenter: Many times!
Eddie Lopez: See what I go through here!? Anyway, Nepotism, Favoritism, it’s not the PWS I knew and loved. And where the hell is the owner of this place to stop it? Even David Shane went missing. It’s like the Titanic if you ask me. I didn’t want to come out of retirement but after the bullshit, I decided I needed to… I mean the part with tagging with Gracie was true, I wanted to tag with her but at the expense of what?
Alexis Makarios: David didn’t “go missing”, he and Star are managing things from the home office. Paperwork and stuff. But I get exactly what you mean. I’ve been here, every week, me and Heather… fighting our way through everything. And it paid off, we did manage to get our titles.
Heather Haze: But look at how many hoops you had to jump through just to get THAT?
Alexis Makarios: Exactly!
(It was at this point that James came up to the group with his phone in his hand.)
James Younger: Hey, did you guys hear the announcement!?
Alexis Makarios: What announcement?
(James plays the replay of the announcement for the Tag Team Title match. Anger takes over the faces of all of them.)
Alexis Makarios: Dan and Audrey are getting a title match?
Heather Haze: FOR WHAT???
Alexis Makarios: They haven’t done a single fucking thing!!! They just show up, interrupt something that doesn’t involve them, and then BAM title shot?
Heather Haze: That is some bullshit if you ask me. But…
(A smirk takes over her face)
Heather Haze: We are something they will never be… and that is fighting champions. They want to get involved in matters that don’t involve them… the Vixens of Pain will show them what it means to be fighting champions.
(Alexis smirks as well.)
Alexis Makarios: Exactly. And we get to start tonight with you whooping on Jack Russow… and then I am going to embarrass the shit out of Audrey and prove to her that she should have STAYED away on maternity leave.
Eddie Lopez: See? It’s bullshit like this is why I forced myself out of retirement. Not only do they take up 90 percent of the show they also get handed stuff with no build as well! Hell why don’t they gift themselves the world title too…. Oh wait…
(Alexis and Heather laugh as the cameras cut to away.)
(Camera switches to the back as we see Bella watching the monitor rather closely, her blue eyes glaring at what she just transpired.)
Bella Madison: Un-fucking-real. You know, this feels awfully familiar. I think I can hear my mother from the gorilla position cursing in about 6 different languages, 2 of which she doesn’t speak.
(A chuckle is heard off-screen.)
Malachi: Well, your mother proved them wrong earlier with her little announcement, but I’m sure they will find some reason to bitch about that.
Bella Madison: Oh I’ll give them a reason to really bitch and I’ll take the suspension Ambika would give me with a smile on my face.
Malachi: You mean after she screams at you cause you know she has plans for you at Demon’s Run.
Bella Madison: Still...it’d be worth it.
(She turns around as we see Malachi completing his match preparation with the usual stretches and Bella watching fondly.)
Bella Madison: I’m gonna have to remember to thank Mattie for the new color on your gear.
Malachi: Is it the color or what’s inside that counts, cheeky girl?
Bella Madison: I will have to get back to you on that. I don’t need to be getting myself into any trouble before we head out for your match.
(He stands up and turns to her with a look of slight apprehension on his face.)
Malachi: Uhh, about that....
Bella Madison: About what? After what happened last week, I thought that it’d just be better to be out there with you, because I’ll be damned if they pull what they think they’re going to.
Malachi: Love...
Bella Madison: Babe, please. I can’t sit back and wait for their next move. Besides, I have a few select things I would love to say to Gracie after last week. There’s actually a few select things I would like to do to Gracie after last week.
(Mal takes his hands in hers and looks into her eyes with a serious expression.)
Malachi: I know, love. Believe me, I’ll be the first in line to see that fight go down. But I know that you wouldn’t be able to help yourself, and you’d go for the jugular the first chance you get. I just want the chance to defend my wife’s honour first. Course, once the match is over and I’ve got my hand raised, it’s open season for you.
(Bella rolls her eyes for a moment before smirking)
Bella Madison: I wouldn’t mind lulling her into a false sense of security. But after seeing what they said there, call it my built-in intuition but I will be watching from gorilla, just to be safe. Keep her looking over her shoulder and maybe keeping the other members of the Lopez clan away.
(Mal smirks a little before leaning in to kiss her.)
Malachi: That’s my Hell’s Bells. Don’t worry, I’ll try to save a little bit of Gracie for you to pound the crap out of afterwards.
Bella Madison: Well, don’t try too hard. It’d be nice to see her get a bit of payback...
(She stops and thinks for a moment.)
Bella Madison: On second thought, as long as she’s limping just a little bit. Maybe missing a clump of hair…
(Mal laughed a bit and kissed her forehead before grabbing his ring jacket and slipping it on as he began to make his way to the curtains. Just before he reaches it...)
Bella Madison: Hate to watch you go but loooooooove to watch ya leave!
(He paused for a moment, before shaking his head and continuing on with a short laugh.)
Bella Madison: (to herself) Please be safe.
(She takes a deep breath before heading into the production side of the gorilla position.)
Malachi vs. Gracie Lopez
(The match starts with both Gracie and Malachi staring each other down. Anger was visible on both their faces as they locked up to begin the match. Malachi overpowers her and takes control in the early going of the match, preventing her from getting much momentum going. He does his best to focus on her left knee, to keep her on the mat.)
JR Freeman: That's smart of Malachi, keep Gracie grounded
Alfonso Banks: Very true. Gracie's size disadvantage requires her to use other strategies, and most of them involve leaving the ground. But with your legs taken out... you can't do that.
(This continues, with Gracie attempting to gain momentum, but the damage was done to her knee. After a few close calls, Gracie adapts and begins to put her focus on Malachi's back. She is successful in shifting the momentum back in her favor at this time. She slowly climbs her way to the top rop and goes for a Style And Grace. BUT! Malachi pops up last second, and catches Gracie Mid air! Malachi catches her and completes a Pure Malice!!!)
Alfonso Banks: OH MY GOD!!!
JR Freeman: HE CAUGHT HER MID AIR!!!
Alfonso Banks: ITS OVER!!!
(After a few seconds, Malachi realizes what is going on and crawls over for a pin!)
1...
2...
3?! YES!!!
DING DING DING
Meg Reynolds: And your winner via pinfall... MALACHI!!!
(Gracie rolled out of the ring and is being checked by trainers ringside while Malachi raises his arm in victory.)
WINNER - Malachi
*Whilst Riot is in full swing, just as fans are preparing for more of the fantastic pro-wrestling action they've come to love from PWS: Apex, the feed abruptly cuts to black. After a long moment of tense, confused silence we begin to see flashes and flickers of old-fashioned VHS-style white noise. The static sputters and hiccups, cutting in and out, and through the steady drone of audio feedback we can hear snippets of an old sea shanty lilting out in broken bits and pieces. It sounds to be an instrumental rendition of "What Do We Do with a Drunken Sailor", played by an old children's music box. Over this garbled song comes another sound, an electronic voice familiar to those who watched the previous episode of Riot, bearing a similar omen, which also flashes on-screen.*
"THIS WILL BE..."
*The screen flickers again as the song begins to fade out, flashing one more message:*
"...YOUR SECOND WARNING."
*As with last time, the feed then fades in to the same dim, utilitarian room we've seen previously. A hand reaches up once again to flick on the single lightbulb hanging over the scene, its electric glow illuminating the form of PWS: Apex's self-appointed "Outsider", Jonathan Sanders. Once again Sanders is dressed in his wrestling attire, this time foregoing the t-shirt and simply wearing a black towel draped across his shoulders. Lifting his piercing gaze to the camera, he speaks.*
"Then he said look, and I looked, and behold..."
*Here the scene changes, transporting us to what appears to be a dingy, abandoned sanitarium or mental health facility. The footage is once again in black and white, and the camera pans slowly through the halls and down the eerie corridors with a sense of urgency; the camera operator is not running, but clearly they know where they're trying to reach. The cameraperson also seems rather nervous, occasionally stopping to peer over their own shoulder with the lens, or ducking inside doorways in response to unidentified sounds from off-camera. Despite this trepidation, we are clearly making progress, as we pass disused bedrooms and treatment chambers on either side. The camera pauses before some of these, allowing us to read the name and room numbers on metal plaques beside the doors; "101: Administration", "202B: Mess Hall", et cetera. As we pan further down what seems to be the main thoroughfare, we come upon a map of the grounds, with each section labelled with its intended purpose. Cautiously, a shaky hand reaches out from behind the camera to trace a path from the "You Are Here" label just outside Administration up through the hallway to the north, before finally coming to rest on a smaller section called "Intensive Treatment". The unknown hand taps this twice with their finger as our voiceover chimes in.*
"...A white horse."
*The footage jump-cuts here, and now we find ourselves stalking through a much-narrower hallway, the claustrophobic angles suffocating our field of view to just a fraction of what it had previously been. This section of the building, unlike the previous one we've visited, is almost entirely devoid of illumination, save the beam of a cell-phone flashlight carried by our mysterious unseen guide behind the camera. The harsh circle of light casts stark shadows on everything around, accentuating this sense of crushing darkness all around us. Once again a banging sound can be heard from off-camera, coming from behind us and clearly far off. Nevertheless the cameraperson jumps, swiftly ducking under a cobwebbed gurney just ahead. We can hear this person's heavy breathing grow more rapid as the unidentified sounds grow nearer, taking great pains to keep the camera totally still until they slowly fade away to our left. Slowly, taking great care to make no sound and to avoid moving the gurney, we crawl back out from our hiding spot and continue down the hallway. At the far end we see a set of double doors, and carved into the wall above them is a chipped and barely-legible inscription reading "INTENSIVE TREATMENT".*
*Placing the camera aside for a moment we hear our avatar struggle to open the heavy steel doors, panting heavily. Unable to move them, the individual - whom we can only see from the back - glances around, seizing upon a discarded, rusty pry bar on the floor nearby. Hoisting this up they plunge it in between the doors, and with a mighty heave the two finally come open. Hurrying back to get the camera and being sure to place the crowbar GENTLY on the floor, we pass through the open doorway into a large, rectangular vestibule. There appears to be a service desk or nurse's station in the centre of the room, covered by years of dust and graffiti from loiterers and teenage explorers who seek to prove their bravery to their friends, and on every side of the room beyond there is a single doorway. Each one is flanked by two metal detectors and a guard post. We venture slowly into this room, past an empty wheelchair tipped onto its side, which the camera focuses on for a moment, before finally making our way to the far end of the room and through the door. Once again we're in a corridor, flanked by heavy-duty CELLS with steel-reinforced clear ballistic glass windows. At the end of this hallway, as we approach on shaky legs with a quivering camera, we see one cell much larger than the others, with a single bed and toilet inside. The entire cell is lined with white padding, stained with age, and disturbing dark splotches dot the walls in irregular patterns. On the door, in a faded text, is one ominous name: "PATIENT ZERO".*
"And his Name that sat upon him was Death..."
*Suddenly a loud "CRASH!" can be heard from very nearby to the right, and the camera operator whirls around to point the flashlight back at the entrance to this section. Tables fly across the hallway as some unseen, massive force lumbers closer and closer still, heavy footsteps and the smashing in of doors belying its approach. The wheelchair we glimpsed earlier clatters against the wall just to the cameraman's left, causing them to visibly recoil and cry out in fear. Suddenly the footsteps break into a run, and we see the shadow of a huge humanoid figure along the far wall, rapidly growing larger as the figure approaches before our poor guide lets out another scream and the feed abruptly cuts. In the blackness, we hear one voice.*
"And Hell followed with him!"
*There is a beat, and suddenly we slowly fade back into the concrete room with Jonathan Sanders on his steel folding chair. He stares into the camera with his eyes wide in dismay, glancing from left to right before locking eyes with the lens once more. His voice comes out as a harsh whisper.*
"Death is coming..."
*Once again Jonathan lunges forward to grab the camera in both hands, his dark grey eyes filling our field of vision.*
"RUN!"
*Much like last time, the camera is once again thrown to the ground, the feed sputtering as it hits the concrete before we return once again to PWS: Apex Riot.*[/quote]
(The cameras cut to the backstage interview area, where we see Claire Anderson standing by.)
Claire Anderson: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guests at this time, Daniel and Audrey Russow.
(We can hear cheers from the arena, as Daniel and Audrey walk into the shot. Audrey is all smiles, while Dan seems to have a scowl on his face.)
Claire Anderson: First off, welcome back to both of you, and congratulations on getting the tag team championship match at Demon’s Run.
Audrey Russow: Thanks, it’s great to be back. It’s funny to see their reaction, we figured they’d have a cow when we heard it.
Claire Anderson: They did have some choice words for the two of you, as well as the rest of the Russows and your friends.
Audrey Russow: They can say whatever they want. At least when we do something? We stand up and say we did it. We don’t hide behind bullshit lies when we take someone out. If I take Alexis out, I’m gonna scream it from the rooftops that it was me.
Claire Anderson: I take it you’re referring to Alanah O’Connell being taken out.
Audrey Russow: I am! Alexis talks about having to jump through hoops and shit, she’s really one to talk. All that time she was World Champ, Dan and Mack doing everything they could to get a one-on-one match with her, and she no-sold every damn thing! So, she is nothing more than a bloody hypocrite, and the fact she’s ALREADY a hall of famer is an absolute crock of shit.
(Claire looks over at Dan, who has been...uncharastically quiet, stil with the snarl on his face.)
Claire Anderson: You okay over there, Dan?
Daniel Russow:...they wanna talk about favorites...they wanna talk about bullshit..they wanna talk about things not deserved...the only thing the lot of them deserve is the ass kicking they’re going to get. Alexis spent over a YEAR ducking me and Mack. I was tired of waiting for her to pull some bullshit excuse as to why she didn’t want to face me. First, it was “he doesn’t deserve a title match” then there was “there’s not a good story” then “I’m busy with other things.” I’m...done...waiting. That’s why Audrey is back, that’s why she came back to stand by my side. Now we got the senile old bore, Eddie Lopez, chiming in his two cents. He wants to talk about “no build”? What exactly do you call what we did last week? It’s called making a statement, right out in front, for the entire world to see. He should have stayed retired. He’s going to get himself hurt, and he’s going to have no one to blame but himself.
Claire Anderson: But, can you blame him for wanting to tag with his daughter?
Audrey Russow: We get that, but it’s what they did at the end of that show. They wanna act like we’d get away with it if we did something like that, but fact is, we wouldn’t do something like that. We don’t count on outnumbering our enemies, and we don’t jump people unless we have a reason.
Daniel Russow: Not to mention, we’re not gonna stab you in the back, we’re gonna get right up in front of you and smack the taste out of your fuckin’ mouth!
(Audrey puts a hand on Daniel to calm him down.)
Audrey Russow: It was great talking to you, Claire. But I think we should wrap this up.
Claire Anderson: I just have my final question, any thoughts going into your match with Alexis?
(Audrey thinks for a second, before smirking.)
Audrey Russow: She’s gonna get her’s.
(Daniel and Audrey walk off, as the cameras cut back to ringside.)
Non-Title
Jack Russow vs. Heather Haze
JR Freeman: Ladies and gentlemen, we have a FANTASTIC match coming up next, pitting current PWS: Apex United Champion Jack Russow against one half of the PWS: Apex TAG TEAM champions, ‘The Bad Girl’ Heather Haze!
Alfonso Banks: That’s right, JR, and this is shaping up to be a VICIOUS encounter! Haze and her tag team partner were embarrassed by Daniel and Audrey Russow last week during their Tag Championship Celebration Ceremony, so you know she’ll be looking for a measure of revenge against the younger Russow tonight!
JR Freeman: Well, let’s not forget the revenge Jack wants himself after Heather put her hands on his wife Alannah.
(This one begins with a “bang!”, as Haze explodes out of the corner with a running clothesline, but Russow springs back to his feet immediately, giving her no chance to capitalize. Without missing a beat, Jack fires back with a spinning back elbow, but Haze rolls underneath with surprising agility! The match continues in this manner for a short while longer, with Russow trying to utilize his muay thai striking background but Heather always managing to move out of the way at just the right instant. Jack eventually realizes this tactic isn’t working, and the two stop for just a moment to size each other up, circling around the centre of the ring like two apex predators meeting for the first time. The peace doesn’t last long, however, as the two suddenly lock up. It looks like Russow’s getting the upper hand at first, using his size advantage to bully Haze into a submissive position, but she makes full use of her speed to swiftly drop to her knees and slide between his legs. She then nails Russow in the back with a dropkick before he can react, sending him reeling forward into the ropes, and when he bounces off she follows up with a SICK running bulldog!)
Alfonso Banks: Ooh, excellent move there by Haze! Really turning the size difference between these two competitors in her favour!
JR Freeman: I can’t deny this is some solid wrestling, but she doesn’t have to be such a showboat about it.
Alfonso Banks: Oh come on, JR, she’s just celebrating! Learn to live a little, why dontcha?
(Sure enough, Haze has taken a moment to taunt her prone opponent, posing for the cameras before she climbs to the top rope. This extra bit of gloating gives Jack Russow enough time to reach his feet, though, and when she springs off for a diving moonsault she instead gets caught with a vicious Superkick, sending her sprawling to the mat! Russow flashes a wicked little smirk, clearly pleased with himself for his efforts, before he begins to take the fight to his fallen opponent. He lands a brutal double foot stomp that knocks the wind out of Haze before quickly climbing up top himself and leaping off with a guillotine legdrop! It connects, and he goes for the pin… but it only nets a two count! Frustrated, Russow pulls Haze back to her feet before planting her again with a Ripcord DDT. He doesn’t even bother covering this time, instead taking the next few minutes to toy with her, really relishing this opportunity for revenge. This proves to be a mistake, however, as Heather is able to roll out of the ring and use the apron to get back to her feet. Jack Russow wastes no time in following her, though, leaping to the top for a springboard bicycle knee to the outside, but Haze has regained enough wherewithal by now to get herself out of harm’s way. Jack tries to correct his position in midair but comes down awkwardly on his left leg, the knee buckling immediately.)
JR Freeman: Oh God, that did NOT look like a soft landing! Here’s hoping the champ is okay.
Alfonso Banks: Well it certainly seems like it’ll be a handicap, but how much of one remains to be seen.
JR Freeman: It definitely wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen Jack Russow beat the odds, though!
Alfonso Banks: No it would not, but Heather Haze is a woman who knows how to capitalize on an opportunity like this.
(And capitalize she does. Jack is clearly favouring that left leg when he returns to his feet, and as he slides back into the ring Haze immediately stomps on it, causing him to clutch at the joint and writhe around in pain! She struts around the ring as the referee moves in to check on Jack Russow, assessing the damage and asking if he wants to stop the match. The ever-tenacious United Champion simply shakes his head, and the referee moves away to allow things to continue. Jack grabs onto the ropes for balance as he gets himself back to a vertical base, but it’s clear he can’t put much weight on his left leg even with their assistance. Smelling blood in the water, the now-renewed Haze rushes forward to catch the champion with a drop toehold, really wrenching on his leg to put pressure on the injured knee. Russow cries out in pain and the referee asks him if he gives up, but he shouts a defiant “No!” and struggles valiantly for a several long, agonizing seconds, managing to eventually turn onto his side and kick Haze away with his good leg. Both wrestlers slowly return to their feet, Russow clearly shaky, and he tries a few steps to gauge the extent of the damage. Before he can make any headway, though, Haze fires a swift kick to the side of the knee and drops Russow down before planting him with a stiff Snap Suplex! The Bad Girl then returns to her feet and sidles around her fallen opponent, taking his head between her own knees and dropping down into the Ride ‘Em, Cowgirl! Jack’s face collides with the mat again and again and again, the tag-team champion clearly revelling in inflicting this punishment! She finally releases him with a devious grin, taunting the younger Russow as he very slowly returns to unsteady feet. As he gets vertical the champ finds a surprising burst of speed and runs for the ropes, perhaps looking for the Jumpin’ Jack Flash, but as he sprints his knee gives out again, allowing Haze to plant him with the Jailbait!)
1…
2…
3!!! It’s over!
JR Freeman: Well, the United Champion fought heroically today, but in the end that knee ended up proving to be just too much to power through.
Alfonso Banks: Damn kid needs to learn when to quit; when will he realize he’ll never be as great as his old man?
JR Freeman: I think Jack Russow has proven himself plenty great in his own right, not many could come as close to victory as he did tonight on an injured leg.
Alfonso Banks: Maybe not, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, JR, and last I checked they’re not allowing either one in pro wrestling anymore. No, tonight belongs to Heather Haze!
WINNER - Heather Haze
JR Freeman: What a match that was...and what a night of action we’ve had already.
Alfonso Banks: And to think, we still have our main event to come!
JR Freeman: Exactly! At this time...actually, I’m getting word we’re going to send things backstage as something seems to be going on. We have cameras trying to get to the scene.
(The cameras cut to the back, where we can see the cameraman running to catch up to a commotion. As the camera pans, we see broken tables, disheveled crates, papers thrown everywhere, before we get to the scene to find security pulling apart Gracie Lopez and Bella Madison, as the two are absolutely fuming, screaming at each other.)
JR Freeman: My God look at the damage they’ve caused back there!
Alfonso Banks: Certainly no love lost between those two.
(After a moment, Ambika Renton arrives on the scene to try and make some order of it all.)
Ambika Renton: Alright, you two wanna make this place your personal battleground? That’s fine, but you’re not going to just do it anytime you want. You’re going to settle this stuff between you at Demon’s Run, and just to make sure you get it all out of your systems, it’ll be a street fight!
(This seems to calm the two down a bit.)
Ambika Renton: BUT, until then, there is to be no physical contact from either of you, or there will be serious consequences. Do I make myself clear?
(They both nod, as Ambika turns to Gracie.)
Ambika Renton: That includes any of your crew or family, no attacks against Bella, I know how you guys are.
(Gracie gives Ambika a “What the hell?” expression.)
Gracie Lopez: Excuse me!?
(Ambika turns to Bella.)
Ambika Renton: The same goes for you and your crew, Bella. NO PHYSICAL CONTACT! Now, go your separate ways.
Bella Madison: Whatever...
(We cut back to ringside, as security sends both girls in their own direction.)
JR Freeman: WOW! What a match made for Demon’s Run! Gracie Lopez versus Bella Madison in a street fight. That is going to be brutal!
Alfonso Banks: Those two are going to beat the hell out of each other.
JR Freeman: You have to think Bella will be looking for some revenge on Gracie for what happened at the first show back.
Alfonso Banks: And Gracie will be looking to make a statement that the Madisons and Russows aren’t the only families with legacy in this company.

Main Event
Singles Match
Alexis Makarios w/ Heather Haze vs. Audrey Russow w/ Daniel Russow
(We cut to the ring, where Meg Reynolds is standing by.)
Meg Reynolds: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is our main event of the evening!
(The fans cheer and buzz in anticipation.)
Meg Reynolds: Introducing the competitors…
(The lights go out, as “Mz. Hyde” by Halestorm starts to play over the sound system. The fans boo, as Alexis Makarios and Heather Haze walk out onto the stage. They taunt the crowd before starting to make their way down the ramp.)
Meg Reynolds: Introducing first, from Sydney, Australia, she is one half of the PWS: APEX tag team champions, being accompanied by Heather Haze...Alexis Makarios!
(The fans boo, as Alexis and Haze get into the ring, talking trash to the fans.)
JR Freeman: Well, certainly no love lost between these two and the PWS fans.
Alfonso Banks: I don’t really think they care.
(They talk to each other as they turn their attention back to the entrance ramp, as Alexis’s music fades, and the buzz begins to pick up with anticipation.)
Meg Reynolds: And introducing her opponent…
(The lights in the arena go out, before fading into a dark purple tint, as the guitar comes in with “My Songs Know what You Did in the Dark” by Fall Out Boy. The drums hit, and Audrey Russow comes running out onto the stage. The fans cheer, as she jumps around on the stage, high of energy, and Daniel Russow walks out behind her.)
Meg Reynolds: Making her return to PWS, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, being accompanied to the ring by her husband, Daniel Russow...Audrey Russow!
(The fans cheer, as Audrey jumps around on stage, pumping up the crowd.)
JR Freeman: I think it’s safe to say Audrey is ready for this match. She looks to be full of energy.
Alfonso Banks: Yeah, but she needs to be careful that she doesn’t move too fast. If she gets too anxious, she could slip up and make a mistake, and Alexis is certainly talented enough to take advantage of that and make Audrey pay.
JR Freeman: I’m sure Dan has been working with Audrey to make sure she takes her time, and doesn’t rush things.
(Makarios and Haze get out of the ring, as the Russows slide in. Audrey walks over to the corner and climbs the turnbuckle, posing for the crowd, before hopping down. She gives Dan a kiss, as he gets out of the ring, and Alexis gets back in. The ref checks with both competitors before calling for the bell.)
*DING DING*
JR Freeman: And here we go! It’s been over five years, but Audrey Russow, formerly Audrey James, once again finds herself in a PWS ring.
Alfonso Banks: As she’s in for a tall order, facing one half of the tag team champions, an already PWS Hall of Famer in Alexis Makarios.
(Both girls circle around in the ring, sizing each other up, hyping themselves up, before locking up. Alexis uses her aggression to begin to over power Audrey for a few seconds. This causes Audrey to take a few steps backwards before planting her feet and fighting back, beginning to overpower Alexis in return! The two unlock and glare at each other. Alexis smirks in Audrey’s face, cocky and arrogant, before motioning for Audrey to “bring it”. Audrey raised an eyebrow and glanced over towards Dan, who just nodded. With no further hesitation, Audrey charged directly at Alexis, tackling her to the ground! Audrey begins to unleash a fury of lefts and rights to the face of Alexis!)
Alfonso Banks: Audrey is really mad!
JR Freeman: Alexis asked for this… just saying.
(Alexis rolls it around to where she has Audrey pinned to the mat and begins to bash her head into the mat. Haze smacks the ring mat a few times, yelling for her tag partner. The referee pulls Alexis off of Audrey and gives her a warning. Audrey gets to her feet and is watching while Alexis fights with the referee. At this point, Haze hops up on the apron and reaches out to try and grab Audrey by the hair! Before she could get a handful, Dan rushes over and pulls Haze down and the two begin to brawl!!! This catches the referees attention and he turns around. While attention is on that, Audrey grabs Alexis and rolls her up into a schoolboy!! The referee turns around and sees this, going to pin.)
1… KICKOUT!
(Alexis is able to wiggle her way out of the rollup, and looks at Audrey with more rage in her eyes. By this point, Haze and Dan are in an all-out brawl on the outside, as Audrey and Alexis battle it out in the ring. After a moment, the two in the ring look over at what’s going on on the outside, and decide to go help their partners. They slide out of the ring, Audrey pulling Dan away from Haze, and Alexis doing the same with Haze. But Haze shouts something, and that sets Audrey off, as she turns and slaps the HELL out of Heather, which causes the brawl to start all over again, this time all four in on it.)
JR Freeman: Did you happen to catch what Haze said that set Audrey off like that?
Alfonso Banks: Unfortunately, I didn’t. I couldn’t hear, but man did you see that slap? Whatever it was, it must have really pissed Audrey off.
(Inside the ring, the ref has no choice but to call for the end of the match, as it’s going to be thrown out, given the fact neither of the competitors really care about the match anymore, as all four are still in an all out brawl. Alexis and Dan are fighting, as Audrey and Haze are going at it. Haze manages to knock Audrey to the ground with a vicious right hand, as she goes to help out Alexis. The two girls start teaming up on Dan, before Audrey gets back to her feet and goes back after Haze. Haze sends Audrey into the ring post, as Audrey crumbles to the ground. Alexis manages to drive Dan into the barrier, as Haze starts looking for something under the ring.)
JR Freeman: What is she looking for?
Alfonso Banks: Who knows? I mean, I guess she does.
(Haze keeps looking under the ring….until...she finds it….
...a bottle of champagne. She stands up, smirking at Alexis, as she walks over to stand over Audrey. She takes out the cork, and goes to pour it over Audrey, but Dan knocks into Heather at the last second, and the bottle comes flying out of her hands, spilling some of the champagne on Audrey, but spilling more of it on Alexis as she catches it. Alexis makes a split-second decision, as she smirks, and grabs the bottle by the neck, and smashes it over Dan’s head!)
JR Freeman: OH MY GOD!
(The bottle shatters into a million pieces, as champagne goes flying everywhere. Dan immediately gets busted open by the broken glass, as blood starts dripping from above his eye, as the bottle seems to have just nearly missed his eye, hitting him in the temple. Audrey looks up, and sees her bloodied husband, and sees Alexis smirking at her handiwork, and this is like setting a bomb off, as Audrey flies into a hate-infused rage, as she LEAPS at Alexis, knocking her down, and raining down with STIFF punches. Haze manages to pull Audrey off of Alexis, but Audrey fights her off and goes back after Alexis. Dan tries to get Audrey off Alexis, but she still won’t have any of it, and breaks free from him, going back after Alexis.)
Alfonso Banks: Audrey is a mad woman!
JR Freeman: She’s incensed!
(FINALLY, security manages to make it to ringside, as they manage to get Audrey off of Alexis, and separate the four. Audrey is still screaming her lungs out at Alexis, filled with lots of...colorful...language. The show goes off the air witha final side-by-side shot of Alexis and Haze next to a shot of Dan and Audrey.)
JR Freeman: That’s all we have time for this week, ladies and gentlemen. Join us next time on PWS: APEX RIOT! So long, and goodnight!
WINNER - Match Thrown Out
