Augusta Civic Center
Augusta, Maine
Episode LXIV
After the opening video, pyro blasts from the stage as "Welcome Home" blares though the arena.
Mike Vincent: Coming to you live from Augusta, Maine, this is AXW! Mike Vincent here with Cole Haywood, we're coming off a great event that was Collide.
Cole Haywood: The next time AXW will be on pay-per-view is on May 13 with Horizon, emanating from the World's Most Famous Arena, Madison Square Garden.
“S-P-I-R-I-T
Spirit!! Let’s hear it!!
S-P-I-R-I-T
Spirit!! Let’s hear it!!”
Blue strobe lights roams around the arena like a trance as the opening tune of "Happy Song” by Bring Me The Horizon blares out of the PA system.
“LET’S GO!”
Out comes Janet Hurricane, the AXW Women's Championship snug around her waist. She makes her way down to the ring.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your AXW Women's Champion, JANET HURRICANE!
Janet stands in the middle of the ring with "Happy Song" fading out.
Janet Hurricane: Everybody who has stepped into this ring with me one-on-one has been dropped. I don't know how many times I have to beat Rochelle before she realizes she's nowhere close to my level. I'm honestly getting kind of bored, and I don't quite see a name on this roster who even stands a chance at taking this title from me. If anyone disagrees with that, well, you can come on down and learn the hard way.
"Nothing Left to Lose" plays throughout the arena and emerging from behind the curtain for the first time in a long timer is none other than Zoey Mathews-Mitchell. Zoey makes her way down to the ring.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: I'm probably the last person who should be coming out here, and I fully accept that, but I had to come out here. Everyone knows that your reign of terror started with me. Last year at Collide, you beat me. You remember that match right? You put me through barbed wire and a table that was lit on fire.
Janet Hurricane: I remember fondly.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Then it was last year at Horizon, where I went into our Rage in a Cage Match at less than one hundred percent, and you once again defeated me. It was then that I had to take some time off to heal the injuries that you caused. And to be honest, I don't care about the scars, I don't care about the burns, I don't care about the bloodshed, but for the past eleven months, those two losses have been eating me alive. I've been thinking about them every single day for the past 329 days. I want redemption, Janet. I want to be the one who defeats you and takes your title.
Janet can't help but laugh.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: You have every right to laugh. I'm no threat to you. If I face you this one last time, I'll have nothing at all to lose. That's why, Janet, that if you're willing to put your title on the line against me one more time at Horizon... I'll also put something on the line.
Janet's face gets quizzical.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Janet Hurricane, if I can't defeat you at Horizon...
Zoey's expression and tone get very serious.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: ...then I will retire from professional wrestling.
Janet Hurricane: I accept!
Zoey drops her mic on the canvas and exits the ring.
Mike Vincent: A huge blockbuster of an announcement! At Horizon it will be Janet Hurricane vs. Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Championship versus Career!

Backstage, Max Kilburne is with S.O.B.
Max Kilburne: Gentlemen, a destructive start to your AXW careers, wh--
Chopper: We don't care what you have to say, we don't care what people think of us, all we care about is snappin' necks and cashin' checks.
Quentin Rage: Ricky Diamond, Sam De Santa, Trent Mathews, all on the injured list, all thanks to us.
Chopper: Man, woman, child, tag team, faction, army, we don't care, if you get in our way, you're going down.
Chopper gets in Max's face.
Chopper: That includes interviewers.
Quentin Rage: Especially punk ass interviewers like you!
Max opts to not ask any questions and backs away from the duo.

As the opening of "300 Violin Orchestra" by Jorge Quintero hits, a somber orange hue develops the top of the ramp, almost like a nice sunset. Two small cannons rise up on either side of the ramp and they fire off a round of exploding white pyros with a BOOM. The song picks up as the crowd already begins clapping and stomping their feet to the emerging Notch who bobs his head to the music with a grin. He makes his way to the ring, slapping hands with the fans as he goes. He stops half way down the ramp and rubs a pair of dice together. With a carefree toss they are flung forward as an orange pyro blast explodes. The Notch, with a focused look on his face, makes his way to the ring.
Salvatore Pellegrino: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, wrestling out of West Scranton, Pennsylvania, weighing 222 pounds, "Vitamin N" THE NOTCH!
He scales a turnbuckle and looks out onto the crowd as they give him some serious hero worship. The Notch flings his visor into the crowd and leaps down, taking off his matching button down shirt, looking primed and ready as his music fades out.
"This Fire" plays throughout the arena, but Sean Black does not emerge from behind the curtain. Instead, Sean Black enters the ring from behind the Notch, and cracks him in the back with a steel chair. "This Fire" cuts as Sean continues to whale away on The Notch with the chair. Sean exits the ring and rips the top half of the ring steps off, slides them into the ring, and re-enters the ring himself. Sean lifts a beaten Notch to his feet, hooks his arms, and drops him head first onto the stairs with a Deathwish (Dirty deeds). Sean slithers back out of the ring, content with his actions, as we fade to commercial.
‘Invincible’ by Adelitas Way hits and Acer Stone runs out from the back looking pumped up and energetic. He heads down the ramp and punches the air three times as red pyros go off at the top of the ramp behind him. Acer heads over to the fans and slaps hands with them as he gets to the ring. He climbs into the ring and works the crowd a little more before they join him in punching the air three times.
“Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there”
Crest Silver slowly walks out from the back with a smug grin on his face. He walks down a little to the top of the ramp and throws his arms into the air, at which time pyros go off. After this he saunters down to the ring shouting at the crowd ‘Awesome ends in ME!’. He slides under the bottom rope into the ring where he eagerly waits for the match to get under way.
Salvatore Pellegrino: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the AXW Xperience Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, wrestling out of Tampa, Florida, weighing 165 pounds, ACER STONE!
Acer punches the air three times, the crowd on his side.
Salvatore Pellegrino: His opponent, wrestling out of Chicago, Illinois, weighing 241 pounds, he is the defending AXW Xperience Champion, "The King of the Elites" CREST SILVER!
Crest raises his title high.
vs. 
A match that sees the larger Silver in control for most of it, the defending champion is able to execute moves such as a Step-up Enzuigiri, Inverted DDT, Backstabber, Gutwrench Powerbomb, Double-Arm Backbreaker, Spinning Suplex, and Russian Leg Sweep followed by a Standing Moonsault. Acer eventually manages to take control by a hard spinning back kick followed by a Stone Cutter (Axe Kick). Acer would climb to the top turnbuckle, only for him to fly off of it and crash into the barricade at ringside.
Mike Vincent: That's Danny Hall! Danny just shoved Acer down to the floor!
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner by disqualification, Acer Stone! However still AXW Xperience Champion, Crest Silver!
Danny enters the ring and makes his way to Silver. Silver has been handed his title as the two look at each other. Silver nods his head in approval and extends his hand. Hall smiles and accepts the handshake.
Hall then immediately lifts Silver onto his shoulders and drops him with a Hallway to Hell (Roode Bomb)! Hall grabs the Xperience Championship, steps onto the ropes and holds it high while "Remedy" plays throughout the arena.
Mike Vincent: Statement made, Danny Hall wants the Xperience Championship.
Cole Haywood: He could have had a beautiful relationship with Crest Silver, man, I'm very conflicted right now...

We cut backstage where Olya Oglovska, eyes closed, is talking.
Olya Oglovska: I know dat you can defeat her. You can dominate her, she is nothink but a puny bug. I believe in you, dahlink.
The camera zooms out to see Android 18 standing behind Olya.
Android 18: Olya, I'm behind ya.
Olya turns around.
Olya Oglovska: Sorry, dahlink, still can't see well.
Android 18: Well I'm up next, can I get a good luck kiss?
Olya Oglovska: Da! Of course, love.
Olya steps forwards and bumps into a wall.
Android 18: ...to your right.
Olya turns right, wildly reaches out, finds Android, and the two kiss.
-----
The lights in the arena all turn to red, with the fans in anticipation for whats about to come. After a few seconds of this, "Megitsune" by BABYMETAL takes over the sound system.
As soon as the song plays, the red lights pulse to the beat of the drums with a figure standing in smoke, wearing a robe and a kitsune mask. At the seven second mark of the song, the figure begins to slowly make their way down the ramp. At the fourteen second mark of the song, the figure disrobes and removes their kitsune mask, now walking to the ring at a quicker pace.
Salvatore Pellegrino: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, wrestling out of Hiroshima, Japan, weighing 112 pounds, "Megitsune" KATSUKO NAKAMOTO!
Katsuko makes her way up the steps and hops onto the middle turnbuckle, raising both hands into the air, doing the kitsune hand sign. She steps onto the top rope and front flips into the ring. She walks to her corner and throws strikes at the turnbuckles before her music fades out.
"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 Alternatron 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. She stops in the middle of the ramp, raising her hands to actually sign the words 'I am Invincible.'
Salvatore Pellegrino: Her opponent, wrestling out of Cork, Ireland, weighing 135 pounds, ANDROID 18!
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.
vs. 
A back and forth match, from A18 we see moves like Shin strikes, Sitout Powerbomb, Lifting Double Underhook Facebuster, Super Electric Strike (Striking spear), Tiger feint kick, Graceful Orbit (Lionsalt). Nakamoto is able to deliver Roundhouse Kick, Dragon Suplex, Snap Fisherman Neckbreaker, Hātosutoppā (Kairi Hojo-style Diving Elbow Drop), Tiger Bomb, Megitsune Kick (Bakatare Sliding Kick), and Crescent Moon (Running Curved Corner Yakuza Kick). It's Ue Kara Shi (Superplex, flowed into a sit-out Falcon Arrow) that sees pinfall victory for Nakamoto.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, KATSUKO NAKAMOTO!
Mike Vincent: Katsuko Nakamoto with an impressive victory over Android 18.
Chris Pierce: Only because Android 18 is emotionally distraught by what Katsuko did to Olya!
"Megitsune" replays with Katsuko having her arm raised by Jessie McCormick. Katsuko exits the ring and high fives and Kitsune Kisses (Too Sweets) fans at ringside as she makes her way to the back.
The opening riffs of 'Pour Some Sugar on me' hits, and the arena goes dark with a single pink spotlight near the entrance. As the drums hit, Bobo comes out, flashing a bright smile, wearing a black pinstriped Chef's apron over his pink and black tights. He holds a tray in his hands which naturally contains samples of his cakes, that he baked to perfection.
Salvatore Pellegrino: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, wrestling out of Skaneateles, New York, weighing 238 pounds, "The Master Pâtissier" BOBO SWEETCAKES!
He proceeds to feed the samples to the fans at ringside before sliding the tray underneath the ring. He climbs into the ring and throws his apron to the crowd.
"Everywhere I Go" starts with flashing while lights.
"Everywhere I go
Bitches always know
That Charlie Scene got a weenie that he loves to show (bitch)
Everywhere I go
Bitches always know"
Chaz Anix comes out with a gym tee cut to show his mustles slowly with his arms outstretched and his eyes closed
"Wake up!"
Chaz opens his eyes quickly and rips off his shirt and makes his way down to the ring
Salvatore Pellegrino: His opponent, accompanied to the ring by "Mr. Lust" Chester Andrews, wrestling out of Miami, Florida, weighing 234 pounds, "Dr. Big Freaking Deal" CHAZ ANIX!
"Grab beer
Grab rear
Shave beard
Put on some scene gear
Gotta get drunk before my mom wakes up
Break up, with my girlfriend so I can bang sluts
I'm undead
Unfed
Been sleeping on, bunk beds, since ten
So if I don't booze it
I'm gonna lose it
Everybody get to it
Do it
Get ruined."
Chaz stops at the end of the ramp and flexes then he slides into the ring.
vs. 
Another competitive match, Bobo's offense includes German Suplex + Dragon Suplex + Tiger Suplex, Tree of Woe + Stalling Low Dropkick, Kip-up Frankensteiner, Swinging Full Nelson Slam, Dough Toss (Release Gutwrench Suplex on turnbuckle), Sugar Rush (Multiple series of Punches to opponent, ending with a Palm heel uppercut). Chaz's offense sees Lawn Dart, Jumping DDT, Standing Moonsault, Sexy Kick (Enziguri), Wheel kick, Too Sexy for This (Flat Liner). The conclusion of the match sees Rochelle step out onto the stage, which distracts and confuses Bobo, allowing Anix to roll him up for the victory.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, CHAZ ANIX!
Mike Vincent: What's Rochelle doing out here?
Cole Haywood: I don't know, but I won't complain about her presence.
Anix rolls out of the ring and backs up the ramp with Andrews. When they approach Rochelle, Anix looks her up and down, smirks, and continues his way to the back.

The camera fades backstage and we see Damien Steele dressed in an all black Armani suit with black shirt and black silk tie. He has the AXW Championship slung over his shoulder as he has a grin on his face as the fans booing.
Damien Steele: AXW... no... The World! Take notice for you are looking at the reigning and after a triumphant victory at Collide, undisputed... AXW Champion!
Damien gets a smug look on his face as he hears the crowd boo loudly.
Damien Steele: Speaking of my victory at Collide, I took everyone's little hero and crushed her dreams of defeating me and regaining this.
Damien lays his hand on the title as he looks intently into the camera.
Damien Steele: I took those dreams of all those adoring little fans of yours, truth be told I took it easy on you!
Damien chuckles and as he does he tilts his head back a little. He then gets an intense look in his eyes as the camera zooms in on his face.
Damien Steele: You see as long as I have this I know I'm the most hunted man in this company, but do you think that scares me? No, you see I enjoy the thrill of the hunt. I have beaten the best of the best to get to this place high above the rest of the competition and I have proven to the world what I've truly known all along. The AXW Championship belongs to me and the only way someone is gonna take it from me is by prying it out of my cold dead hands!
Right now the camera is right in his face as Damien's eyes look like wildfire as he speaks again.
Damien Steele: So Mathews, go ahead and try to shock the world with who my next competition might be but in the end we all know who will still be holding this title when it's all said and done!
The camera starts to pan out as Damien is now holding the AXW Championship around his waist.
Damien Steele: I don't care who it is, I will chew them up and spit them out like the pathetic piece of regurgitated vomit they are. The Vicious Era is just beginning and I'm not going anywhere anytime soon!
Damien walks off camera as the picture cuts to ringside.

"When the lights go up and the game is on
Are you ready for me? 'Cause I'm ready for you
When the bell rings out and the fight is on
Are you ready for me? 'Cause I'm ready for you "
"Game On" by Disciple blares out as Justin Wyndham and TO'A aka Lethal Weapons comes out of the curtains
"When the lights go up and the game is on
Are you ready for me? 'Cause I'm ready for you
When the bell rings out and the fight is on
Are you ready for me? 'Cause I'm ready for you "
Justin bends down in one knee and looks at this imaginary watch, similar to CM Punk. TO'A is beside him with his signature towel drenched in blood and wrapped around his neck as he is looking down at the ground.
"It's time for us to start throwing down
Take a look and see who's standing now
It's time for us to start throwing down
Look and see who's standing now "
Justin does the cutthroat before getting up. Justin runs full speed to the ring and then around the ring, hyping up the fans while TO'A slowly makes his way down the ring, still not showing his face. Justin then slides into the ring and then bang his head to the nearest turnbuckle, hyping himself up before looking back at the crowd with a sick smile as TO'A walks up the steel steps and enters the ring. Justin then climbs at the turnbuckle and does the cuthroat sign before getting off while TO'A throws his towel on the mat and does a battle cry before the theme fades
"Hear Me Now" plays throughout the arena and Malcolm M. Mitchell makes his way to the stage. He takes a moment to taunt, throwing shadow punches, then runs his hands through his hair and flicks the water off his hands, keeping his arms spread with his head up, soaking in the reaction from the crowd.
He walks down to the ring with confidence in every step. Malcolm enters the ring, climbs to the second turnbuckle, and does the same taunt he did on the stage.
The arena lights descend to darkness, as the tron displays an old black and white vision of an apocalyptic scene, as within a broken building we hear the crackle and zap of electricity, pulses of computers, as there, standing before the rubble is a figure in a denim jacket and tattered denim jeans. The figure turns slowly, and forms a smirk from under a pair of black Aviator shades.
"Not even God can save you.."
The crowd roars to "Not Even God" by Digital Summer, as some are booing, some cheering, an ice blue hue filling the ramp and entrance, a thin mist that under a spotlight has an eerie glow for one Duncan Aries! Aries has his back to us, looking down, before spinning around, arms crossed and head cocked in a smirk. Aries strides to the ring, paying no mind before tossing his shades into the crowd and leaping onto the apron. Entering the ring, Aries spins around, basking in the glow of the reaction, positive or negative, tossing off his jacket, yelling out "Because I'm Duncan Aries, motherfuckers!" as "Not Even God" fades out.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Ladies and gentlemen this is your Main Event, a Tag Team Contest scheduled for one fall, and is for the AXW Tag Team Championship! Introducing first, the challengers, at a combined weight of 490 pounds, the team of "The World Warrior" Justin Wyndham and "The Samoan Executioner" TO'A, LETHAL WEAPONS!
The former champions look intent on taking back their titles.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Their opponents, at a combined weight of 452 pounds, they are the defending AXW Tag Team Champions, MALCOLM M. MITCHELL and AXW Hall of Famer "The Wild Card" DUNCAN ARIES!
The two raise their titles, Aries stepping in front of Mitchell.
vs. 
Most signature moves are delivered, Aries and Mitchell still are having problems getting along but seem to be getting better. The conclusion of the match sees Aries begin to lift Wyndham for The Culmination (Front slam pickup swung into a Rock Bottom), with Mitchell darting across the ring to take out TO'A with Sleep Tight (Busaiku Knee Kick).
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here are your winners, and STILL AXW Tag Team Champions, MALCOLM M. MITCHELL and DUNCAN ARIES!
Mike Vincent: The unlikely duo hold onto their AXW Tag Team Titles, and seem to be improving slightly relationship-wise.
Cole Haywood: Duncan Aries is a miracle worker, able to win these matches on his own AND is making Malcolm M. Mitchell a more likable person!
"Not Even God" replays with the champs receiving their titles. Aries immediately exits the ring, holding his title high on the way out, while Malcolm takes time to high five some of the fans.
Mike Vincent: Ladies and gentlemen thanks for tuning in, see you next week!
