Episode XXIV

Pyro bursts from the stage before panning across the crowd.
Lily Luna: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to The Alternative! I'm Lily Luna along with Chris Pierce, and as we're coming on the air tonight we have some big news for the Main Event.
Chris Pierce: Perhaps an unlikely duo in Steve Corman and AXW Champion David Slayton as they team up to take on The Alliance of Truth.
Lily Luna: For the first time in over two years Jonathan Fhenix steps into an AXW ring as a competitor. The Wyatts will be keeping a close eye on tonight's event and should Jonathan Fhenix be disobedient and not actually wrestle or pull any other shenanigans tonight, then that could affect Jonathan's job in BWF.
Chris Pierce: Enough of that though, let's get to some action!

"Invincible" by Amaranthe hits, the fast pounding drums blaring loudly from the speakers as the lights dim completely. They come back to Android 18 standing at the entrance ramp, head down, the words 'The code awakens me' flash along the jumbotron behind her as she opens her eyes and brings her head up slowly. She walks stoically down the ramp, a smirk spreading over her face as she goes.
Jen Brunelli: This opening contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Cork, Ireland, ANDROID 18!
She stops in the middle of the ramp, raising her hands to actually sign the words 'I am Invincible.' Before continuing on and leaping straight up onto the ring post, she signs ''I am Invincible' one more time, entering the ring and awaiting the match to start.
A shrill scream echoes throughout the arena causing some people to have to cover their ears. The lights dim down and then the scream stops an a cackle replaces it followed by ‘Monster‘ by Disturbed.

White smoke fills the entrance ramp and then a tall figure slowly walks through the smoke. Tatau makes her way down the ramp looking intense and ready to fight. She gets into the ring and is immediately attacked by Android 18 as Jessie McCormick calls for the bell.
vs. 
Android is striking Tatau but Tatau pushes her away. Tatau clotheslines Android, turning her inside out. Tatau plants Android with a Fisherman Powerbomb. After an unsuccessful pin attempt, Tatau lifts Android high into the air for a big Chokeslam. Tatau runs the ropes before leaping onto Android with a big splash. Another unsuccessful pin attempt sees Tatau nearly taking Android's head off with a Bicycle Kick. Tatau delivers a Lifting Double Underhook Facebuster, which Android again kicks out of. Tatau starts to set up for the Tatau-erbomb (Scoop lift powerbomb), but Android rapidly elbows Tatau in the head to get free. Android hits a dropkick which momentarily sends Tatau staggering backwards, but Tatau quickly gets back on offense by nearly breaking Android in half with a spear. Tatu covers, but Android still has fight in her. After a number of unsuccessful pin attempts, Tatau grabs referee Jessie McCormick in frustration and nearly does some harm to her before turning back to focus on Android. Android wrings the arm of Tatau before swiftly delivering a Buster Swing (Inverted stomp facebreaker)! Jessie counts to three on the pin attempt.
Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, ANDROID 18!
Lily Luna: Android 18 in her first match defeats the monster Tatau.
Chris Pierce: Well, the monster Tatau is not happy.
Tatau was quick back to her feet and big boots Android after the match, before planting her with the Tatau-erbomb.

We open backstage with a visibly angered Hailey Harris, her gray hoodie over her head, with Gina Furlow.
Gina Furlow: Hailey, in recent weeks you’ve been fairly quiet around AXW coming after your controversial loss to Janet Hurricane.
Hailey Harris: That’s the truth, Gina, but there’s a good reason for that, because I’ve been pondering this whole bullshit notion of Janet’s about how I’m fake, and it got me thinking about the opposite of that word, real.
Gina Furlow: One might say that real is how Janet went about defeating you in your match.
Hailey Harris: See Gina, that’s not what gets me. Sure, both literally and figuratively it hurt, but I wasn’t too shocked, because Janet is desperate, desperate to stay relevant, desperate to prove she’s not just some Luke Mathews play toy, a legit wrestler, but what’s REAL, Janet is that you did what you had to do because 1 on 1, fair and square it’s pretty damn real that YOU CAN’T BEAT ME. Don’t believe me? Well it happened, then you took a hissy fit and we continued on down the road we’re on. You’re not a legit wrestler anymore, Janet, because everything you claim you are from the rooftops, people like that don’t need to drag their names through the mud with such measures to win, they just do, so the next time we’re in ring, you don’t have to worry about me returning the favor, because I don’t need brass knucks to prove I can beat you, I already did. Oh, and one last thing that’s real, Gina. When I face that bitch in the ring again, the beating I give her, oh it’s going to be real for sure!
Hailey walks off leaving Gina there, who is visibly blown away by those words as we return to ringside.

"Too Drunk to Fuck" by the Dead Kennedys kicks in as a smirking Jack Adams comes jogging out from the back. He looks at the crowd, laughing to himself as he walks to the ring, all the while Adams is goading the fans and prevoking them, daring them to punch him, before feigning punching them himself. Generally, just being a bully.
Jen Brunelli: This next contest is set for one fall! Introducing first, from Fort Payne, Alabama, weighing in at 230 bounds, "The Last Real Man Alive" JACK ADAMS!
Adams slides into the ring and being the dick he is, just yells to the hard camera "LAST REAL MAN ALIVE!"
All the lights in the arena flick off except for a single gold light aimed on the entrance stage. 'Come To Life' by Alter Bridge starts blasting out of the speakers around the arena.
[flash]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhsf2TmbIBw[/flash]
Mercer Prime walks out from the back as the rest of the arena is lit up with gold light. Mercer stands on the stage and throws up both arms and lets out a roar before heading down to the ring.
Jen Brunelli: And his opponent, from Dayton, Ohio, weighing in at 225 pounds, MERCER PRIME!
vs. 
Mercer Prime who is upset over not getting $10,000 delivers some of the hardest elbow strikes he's ever thrown. Mercer takes Jack down with a hard STO. Mercer sends Jack to the ropes and takes him down with a Tilt-a-whirl slam. Mercer stays in control with a Fallaway Slam. Jack uses the ropes to start helping himself up and when Mercer runs at him, Jack kicks his leg out from under him, Mercer hitting throat first on the second rope. Jack lifts Mercer up with a Gorilla Press + Rear sheer fall drop. Jack slams Mercer into the turnbuckles with a Running Corner Powerbomb, and follows up with a Meat Hook Lariat. Jack then plants Mercer with a Gotch-Style Piledriver, which sees victory for Jack.
Jen Brunelli: Here is your winner, JACK ADAMS!
Lily Luna: Mercer Prime couldn't get back into it after hitting that rope.
Chris Pierce: And the moment Jack Adams realizes he can't get back into it, he takes advantage and wins.
"Too Drunk to Fuck" plays throughout the arena as Jack Adams swipes his hands together down at Mercer, as if he were "making it rain" as we head to commercials.

We return backstage to Renee Peltier.
Renee Peltier: Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time is the NEW AXW Light Heavyweight Champion, Danny Hall!
Danny steps onto frame, patting his newly won title which is resting on his shoulder.
Renee Peltier: First off, congratulations are in order.
Danny Hall: Well, thank you Miss Peltier. (said with a hard r sound).
Renee Peltier: It's actually pel-tee-ay, but you're welcome.
Danny Hall: Who are you to correct me? I'm Danny F'N Hall! The AXW Light Heavyweight Champion!
Renee Peltier: Well I was wondering if I could get some more insight on your road to the title, why you left TRENT, and so forth.
Danny Hall: As I've said at Breakdown, we all knew Bruiser was really just trying to get to TRENT. I aligned with TRENT in the first place to get to where I am now. He was the guy running this place for half a year, I figured I could use him to get the right opportunity, and I got it. When he picked me to be the number one contender for this title that's now on my shoulder, I knew our days together were soon running out.
Renee Peltier: Can you tell us a little about your win over Ryan Starr? I think it's safe to say that everyone was shocked when you defeated arguably the best Light Heavyweight in the world right now.
Danny Hall: You say arguably, and I argue that Danny Hall is the best Light Heavyweight in the world. We are in the era of "Mr. Most Hated" Danny Hall, and if anyone doesn't like it... too bad. Danny Hall is here to stay.
Danny walks off as we head to the next match.

vs. 
AXW Tag Team Championships
Our tag-team attraction begins with both teams being motioned to their respective corners. The Takeover assumes the high ground of the northwest while Hand of Blood is content with the southeastern depths. Leland Alexander starts his team’s hurry-up offense with two Hurricanranas and a lateral press on Inferno. Jason stomps on Alexander’s back at 2 to break up the pinfall attempt. Leland Irish Whips Inferno into his corner and tags in Malcolm. Both members of The Takeover then execute a Double Superkick which drops Inferno to a seated position. Alexander and Mitchell then hit a second set of Superkicks. Referee counts to 4 before Alexander grabs a hold of the tag rope. Mitchell quickly rolls into a cover that once again gets broken up by Jason. This time he accidentally drops an elbow before dragging both Inferno and Mitchell towards his corner. “The Man of Sin” Inferno waves a dazed hand over to Jason who tags in legally to the match. “The Unchained Beast” Jason manages to pull off a minor bit of offense with two shoulder blocks that bowl Mitchell back to his corner. Mitchell, ever resilient attempts a Dropkick to no effect followed up with a Sleeper Hold. As he’s being ragdolled about by his larger adversary, Malcolm gets blind tagged by Leland. As Jason continues to fade to a horizontal base, “The Next Generation” Leland Alexander busts out a Springboard Imploding Frog Splash. Inferno decides to break up any possible pinning combination by Baseball Sliding into Alexander’s skull. Our referee for the contest admonishes “The Possessed One” who returns to his corner after a mild protest. Jason lumbers over and tags Inferno back in. He taunts the crowd that he’s going for Bloodless Death, but gets met with a Uraken from Leland Alexander. Once again, Inferno is barely on his feet from the strike. For added measure, Alexander rattles off some Machine Gun Knife Edge Chops before preparing Inferno for a Tombstone. To prevent any further interference from Jason, Malcolm Clotheslines him off the eastern ring apron into the side of an announce table. Leland then tags in Malcolm when he’s got Inferno hoisted for a Tombstone. Malcolm M. Mitchell then leaps off the western ring rope to complete their devastating finishing maneuver. Upon hooking a leg and putting at least 51% of his body weight over Jason’s shoulders, Mitchell earns a three-count victory.
Jen Brunelli: Here are your winners, and STILL the AXW Tag Team Champions, THE TAKEOVER!

We return backstage where Max Kilburne is stood next to an easel with a black covering over it.
Max Kilburne: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, the AXW Women's Champion, Olya Oglovska!
Olya steps into frame holding the Women's Championship in front of her face, seemingly in awe being in possession of it.
Max Kilburne: Olya, how does it feel to dethrone Caitlin Shay to become the new Women's Champion?
Olya Oglovska: Pinch me, Max.
Max pinches Olya on the arm.
Olya Oglovska: Ow! Okay, I am not dreamink. It is a trly humblink feelink holdink dis title. I am still in shock I actually won.
Max Kilburne: Well, a lot of people would say you're one of the best female athletes, and on top of becoming AXW Women's Champion, that's why we have this easel here...
Max removes the cover on the easel to reveal:
Max Kilburne: On January 16, 2016, AXW will be holding its first even in the Mountain Time Zone as the next AXW Pay-Per-View Winterslam will be hosted in the cold lands of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. And who better to grace the poster than Olya Oglovska?
Person: I have an answer to that.
Caitlin Shay walks up to the scene, takes a look at the poster then at Olya.
Caitlin Shay: So why do you get to be on the poster, huh? What have you ever done? I was about to become the longest reigning AXW Women's Champion and you ruined everything. Why isn't Caitlin Shay on the poster? I am STILL the Greatest AXW Women's Champion Ever. Of All Time. Steve Corman, one of the greatest minds in this business, knows that. But yet, here I am, not on the poster while Olga Whatever-The-Fuck-Your-Last-Name-Is does pretty much nothing and ends up on the poster. But you know what? Fine. Have your moment. It'll be that much better when I beat you in our rematch which will be at Winterslam. I'm giving you a whole month and then some to enjoy your time holding that title for me, and you better use that time wisely because lightning isn't gonna strike twice, "dahlink".
The two share a pretty intense stare down before Caitlin throws Olya into the easel, and for seemingly no reason rips Max's microphone from his hand and chucks it away as she walks off. Max checks on Olya and helps her back to her feet as we fade to commercial.
What a better way to end the year than with BWF's Premier Event!
December 31, 2015 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California! Featuring the return of Money in the Bank and in the Main Event, AJ Adams defends the BWF World Championship against Gauntlet Run Winner Sabrina Scott!

"Code Red" by Nonpoint blares as a red light shines down on the ramp, flashing and flickering as Bruiser Lazzou emerges to a chorus of boos in a black singlet with a red hazard symbol on it, cracking his knuckles and then slapping his face, roaring and then pounding his chest before heading to the ring, yelling "OPEN FOR BUSINESS!" to fans, some of the younger ones still so traumatized by this once beloved hero.
Jen Brunelli: This next contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Augusta, Maine, weighing in at 325 pounds, BRUISER LAZZOU!
He enters the ring and runs the ropes, stomping his feet like a bull and roaring once again with his arms extended and his head tilted back, roaring once more as his music fades out.
[flash]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71BCqL2ecoE[/flash]
"Warrior" by Disturbed hits as Deimos makes his way to the ring.
Jen Brunelli: And his opponent, from Portland, Oregon, weighing in at 310 pounds, DEIMOS!
vs. 
These two mammoth men had a pretty even back and forth matchup. Some of Bruiser's big moves include Bruising Bodies, Running Front Powerslam, and a Maine Moonsault. Deimos manages to connect with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex, Sidewalk Slam, and an Art of War which Bruiser kicked out of. The finish saw Bruiser trying for a Bruised and Battered which Deimos countered with a superplex to the outside of the ring. Neither man could make it back into the ring before the 20 count resulting in a double countout.

We're backstage where David Slayton is finalizing his pre-match preparations. Damien Steele walks up to him, followed by Jack Adams, and Caitlin Shay. They look like they aren't there to talk, when Steve Corman arrives on the season.
Steve Corman: Come on guys, ease up, he's good.
They back away a few steps allowing Steve to get in to talk to David.
Steve Corman: Are you ready for tonight?
David Slayton: Yeah. And... look, I know that in the end, you're after this.
He taps the AXW Championship.
David Slayton: While I'll have no problem defending this against you down the road should you be a challenger, tonight's not about the AXW Championship. It's about sticking it to Aries and Fhenix.
Steve Corman: Of course. We will have business, but it's not tonight. I've been in this game longer than you, I know the deal. Enough jibber jabber, let's get out there.
David, Steve, and the Corman Guys all walk off.

MAIN EVENT
The Alliance of Truth vs. David Slayton & Steve Corman
It was a very even back and forth tag team match. Each man got to hit some of their big moves. The Corman Guys were ejected from ringside when Damien tried getting involved in the match. The match eventually was thrown out when all four got in the ring with no signs of stopping their brawl. Jonathan Fhenix would be eliminated from the ring, which allowed Steve to hold Duncan Aries with the intention of David hitting the Full Effect on Duncan, but Duncan breaks out of the grasp at the last second causing David to hit Steve with the Full Effect! David is in a moment of shock before being nailed in the back by a chair from Fhenix. Fhenix brought a chair for Duncan and held their ground as the Corman Guys ran back down to ringside, who decided to not enter the ring and just help pull Steve out of the ring. The scene ends with the Alliance of Truth standing over the AXW Champion.
