Main Event XWA World Title match: Raven defends against AJ Styles

[The Messiah of Human Torture]

What a hell of an opening match between two diverse yet similar athletes. Chase started off with his power game with the timeless grecho roman knuckle lock as a way to test just how...game the technical Benjamin is on the mat. Benjamin used his leg strength to get back on a vertical base and then leaped so he's spring off the top rope to break the hold and then Chase eats a dropkick and a couple of arm drags. Soon enough, Benjamin used what originally brought him to the dance and was outwrestling the larger Chase not on power...but on pure technical accumen. Chase then realized this wasn't working and slapped the taste out of Shelton's mouth, but he just let out a smirk knowing what he was trying to do and just went back to the mat game before Chase caught him with a vicious european style uppercut to jar him and then a boot right to his dome. Both just seem to know and understand what the other wants to do and continue to counter each other's signature moves. Chase loves his belly to belly varient, but Benjamin used a headbutt to loosen the grip and then he went from his dragonwhip, but Chase ducked the actual whip and ended up clotheslineing the hell out of Benjamin.


Everytime at this point where Benjamin would try to use his quickness, Chase would counter with move such as a spinning sidewalk slam or even the less broken out Downward Spiral for a nearfall. Soon enough, that couldn't keep Benjamin down and he quickened the pace with forearms, a spinning wheel kick, and a superkick(since the dragonwhip didn't work)...but Chase again cuts him off but with a flapjack that sends Shelton throat first to the ropes. Soon, Chase starts to signal that it's over and goes for his Dark Chaos, but Benjamin grabs the ropes and Chase crashes to the mat. As soon as he stands right back up, Benjamin connects with a discus punch and then does the rarely used mansenco cradle pin...but Chase powers out at two. Chase goes for the clothesline as soon as he bounces up, but Benjamin uses Chase's own momentum in a leverage move to send him crashing into the turnbuckle. A stinger splash and a small package later and it's Benjamin getting the victory in a well fought wrestling match.

* "Broken" hits the P.A. as Tara makes her way to the ring to a nice ovation.*



Lilian: The following match is scheduled for onefall. Introducing first. From, San Bernadino, California. TARA!



Tazz: Tara is looking great tonight.



JR: This will mark her first apperance in XWA. One has to wonder, if we will be seeing more of her.



*Tara gets in the ring, and begins to warm up for her match*








*The hypnotizing theme of "Trip The Darkness", by Lacuna Coil surges throughout the arena.. This music is not alone though, as purple flashing laser lights also come right along with it, as well as a vision over the titantron of black and white swirls, continuously moving in a circular pattern. This, often associated with hypnotism, contains Daffney’s own name in it’s center, written in a nice grungy typeface to match. The Amplified Shriek Machine does not waste any time after that, and coming through the curtains out to the stage is none other than her.*




Lilian: And, the opponent. From Sybil, Texas, Daffney!




Tazz: Daffney is looking Zombie Hot! It's been a while since we have seen her. But, seeing her tonight was well worth it.


JR: Daffney has been nursing some injuries. She took quite a spill at Wrestlemania.



*As she stands on the ramp for a brief moment, the Gothic Goddess balls up her right fist and raises her left simultaneously, slamming the fist into the palm of the other hand and releasing some anger. Eyes bugged and mouthed grimaced uncomfortably, Daffney takes her first step down the aisle among a crowd of booing fans.

Daffney walks down the entrance ramp, nearly marching to the beat of her own entrance music as the fans at ringside begin to lunge out at her. She continues to slink down the ramp, looking to be rather void of emotion. Reaching the apron, Daffney pans off to the left rather than entering right there; it’s time for the signature entrance. As she hops right on the middle of the apron in front of the XWA audience, she stands facing the same way as the three ring ropes, and gradually sinks downward into a split, one leg facing each corner. With the male population in attendance going wild for her flexibility, the Queen of Scream proceeds to roll under the bottom rope quickly, landing in a kneeling position and then moving around so that she is directly in the epicenter of the canvas, only before clenching both fists at her sides and popping the rest of her body backwards to let out a SCREAM. The signature vocal of Miss Daffney is ended with a sly smirk, showing the underlying evil in her eyes. Following, she rises and her music, entrance video, and lights all die down, though her smirk does not. *




Tazz: Daffney and Tara have some bad blood. At one point, Daffney even stole Tara's prized Tarantula, Poison.



JR: That has to be on Tara's mind. But, facing Daffney is not an easy task.



*The bell sounds as Tara and Daffney circle eachother. Daffney licks her black coated lips, as she and Tara lock up. Tara uses his power to get the advantage and push Daffney to the corner. The ref asks for a clean break, as Daffney hits Tara in the face with a forearm*



Tazz: Daffney is not afraid to get violent. I love that in a woman. Raven has a keeper.



*With Tara reeling, Daffney unloads with Forearms, pounding away at Tara with such force*



JR: Good lord. Daffney is going insane!


*The final blow sends Tara crashing to the canvas, as Daffney kneels over her, ans SCREAMS right in her face*



Tazz: Well, they don't call her the Scream Queen for nothing.



*Daffney picks Tara up into a sitting position, as she runs off the ropes, and hits Tara with a Rolling Neck Snap, that makes Tara's head bounce against the canvas*



JR: Daffney is scary between the ropes. Well, she is scary in general.



*Tara tries to regain her composure, as Daffney places the foot of her boot into the face of Tara, and knocks her back to the mat. Daffney drags Tara to the ropes, and causes her to drap across them. Daffney steps onto Tara's back, caushing all her weight to crash down onto her. Daffney's screams match the cries of Tara, as The Scream Queen ramps up the pressure*




Tazz: I think Daffney is sending everyone a message. She is the dominate female in XWA. Right now, who can argue against that.




*The ref manages to pry Daffney off of Tara, as Tara tries to catch her breath and tries to pull herself up. Daffney mocks Tara, as she tries to pull herself up, and reaches out for Daffney. Daffney shakes her head, and yanks Tara by the hair, and gets her in a suplex position*




JR: Daffney is showing no remorse.




*Daffney gets Tara in position, as she goes to hook the leg, but Tara manages to block the Suplex, and deliver her own, sending Daffney to the mat with a loud thud*



JR: Tara has a chance!



*Tara lifts Daffney up, and hits her with a backbreaker. As she drops across her knee, Tara applies a stretch, making the rather limber body of Daffney contort and bend*



Tazz: That is some submission hold. It doesn't look fun!




*The ref looks on as Daffney continues to shriek out, causing the ref to briefly cover his ears. Letting go of the hold, Tara lets Daffney fall to the mat, as she holds her lower back in pain. Tara roughly grabs Daffney, and gets her in position for the Widow's Peak*



JR: Widow's Peak Time? If she hits it, it could spell the end for The Scream Queen.



*Tara gets Daffney over her Shoulders, as Daffney finds a way to wiggle free, and delivers a Spin Kick to the back of Tara's head*




Tazz: Hello! Goodnight! What a Hosaka Kick!


*Daffney spins Tara around and hooks her leg, and spins her over with the Cradle Suplex*




JR: Lobotomy, it's got to be it.



*The ref counts the pin, as Daffney wins the match*



Lilian: Here is your winner, Daffney!



"Trip The Darkness" begins to play as Daffney slinks up into a kneeling position, as she lets out a blood curdling SCREAM. She grins evilly, at the fallen body of Tara, and begins to crawl over to her*




JR: You won the match, what are you doing now?



*Daffney hovers right over Tara's face, as she SCREAMS at the top of her lungs, causing Tara to flinch in pain, as Daffney picks her up, and throws her out of the ring. Making Tara crash on the floor beneath her*



Tazz: Daffney's message is sent. She is here to stay, all the other females should be on notice.



*The camera zooms in on Daffney smiling at the fallen body of Tara, as she licks her lips and marches he way out of the ring. Slinking her way to the back*

[The Messiah of Human Torture]

Kidd and Goldust put together a match that went eight minutes. Goldust was surprised by Kidd's inital athletic ability but countered that with his unorthadox style of attack. Goldust's antics like his deep breathing infuriated the audience because of the overtones suggested with it, but Kidd then fired back by attacking the leg and by the eight minute mark, he put on the dungon lock and Goldust was forced to tap out.


Homicide and Punk didn't even wait for introductions because when Homicide went through the curtain, Punk jumped him in retaliation and the two began brawling all over the place. Vicious knees, elbows, and punches were the norm between these two. While both are very capable wrestlers, they abandoned that with just a fierce need to hurt...mame and destroy each other because of their tattered friendship. Homicide goes for his lariet but Punker ducks it and drills his former friend with a violent kick right to the head. Punk then goes for his patinent go to sleep finisher, but Cide spins away and then hits his lariet. He doesn't go for the cover, though because his anger gets the best of him. He goes for the Cop Killa but Punk lands on his feet and then hits the G2S to put Homicide away for the victory. The festivities, however, didn't end because when Punk went to celebrate, he was drilled with a vicious lariet by Homicide and then Cide delievers on the Cop Killa as the entire crowd gasps at how Punk contorts. Trainers rush to help him as Homicide just angerly stomps up the ramp, still on an uncontrolable rampage.

[The Messiah of Human Torture]

The camera soon zooms to the familar Nashvile halls. We catch Seth Iser, the owner of the company walking down almost in a warm up of sorts for him. The glare on him is glacial but the crowd responce to him is nuclear. He pauses just because he hears the boos before dismissively shaking his head. He's wearing a new t-shirt that simply asks 'Do I have your attentoin now?...black base with red lettering. After the inital wave dies down, we see the camera jerk slightly before the XWA champion appears...he just shoved him and he's wearing his salt shaker shirt.


Raven: You still didn't bring my popcorn you assmuncher. That's even worse than having to wrestle than the state that God's country, Canada, kicked the infamous Grizzlies down to this pissbucket.


The crowd boos mercilessly at both the champion and the verbal barb thrown. Raven just has that confident, champion like smile on his face while Iser just glances at him finally. Then the two rivals make eye contact.


Iser: Raven...


Raven: Seth.


Iser: Maybe I should've asked YOU to try to light a fire under Van Dam's ass because other than you...NOBODY can get through to that disgraceful jackass that he's ruining MY company's reputation, his family's reputation, and his own.


Raven then begins to laugh while pointing to his salt shaker shooter sleeve and showing off his salt shaker shirt.


Raven: The only reason that seems to be is because he's just so salty everytime I pinned that loser's ass to the mat for the three count...but it's nice to see someone else take an interest in trying to kick the hell out of that idiotic stoner for once. Maybe he'll choke against you like the Titans did against The Greatest Show on Turf in their only Super Bowl appearance, right?


The fans boo even louder at that barb because of how passionate they are about the Titans. Maybe now they passionately hate Raven.


Raven: ...and that lonely feeling those Titans players had...well I am going to make sure AJ Styles suffers that miserable feeling of agonizing defeat by knowing he was just INCHES from being the champion by signing on to this match...but I will take it away from him and enjoy crushing his dreams.


Iser: While you do that...champ. Van Dam will wish he never had my attention...because of what I will do to him. You think the mental anguish that you put him through was bad...sorry but it will NOT compare to the hell I will put him through tonight.


Raven: I want to see you do it, too. Maybe then I'll get a bigger thrill with that than I did with what you pulled in Memphis to good old Jerry Lawler.


Iser finally shows a hint of a smirk on his face when that was mentioned before that vanishes very quickly.


Iser: ...and RVD will join Jerry in the hospital when they find out what happens when you cross me and by the end of the day...he'll respect this company. He'll respect my brand...and most importantly...he'll respect the name...Seth Iser.


Iser soon breaks eye contact and moves away from the camera sight. Soon enough, Raven gives the camera man a more aggressive shove and that knocks him back a few steps.


Raven: You better give me my god damned popcorn with extra butter this time...or you'll end up more humiluated than Justin Credible on the Olive Garden kitchen.


The camera soon fades to dark before cutting back to the ring.

[The Messiah of Human Torture]

Miz put in a very well thought out game plan for his match. He focused on Kane's leg and tried to keep him off his verticle base because it is a-lot harder for a monster to hurt you when he's on the ground. He had to weather the punches, the clotheslines, and the sideslams to be able to execute his game plan but he got the big man down to the ground and kept driving his own knees into the petella tendon of the monster. He made one mistake, though...and that is when Kane went to the corner...Miz deviated from his gameplan for one moment to go for his normal corner clothesline. He got caught right in the throat...and chokeslamed to the mat and that was all she wrote for the Awesome one by the hands of The Big Red Machine.

[The Messiah of Human Torture]

*We are panned to a special set made for interviews that has the XWA logo. Soon enough...Maria, wearing a red dress, appears on the camera and the male audience pops for the beautiful young woman.*


Maria: Ladies and gentlemen...my guests for the evening are The Dudley Boyz.


*On cue, Bubba Ray and D-Von appear on the camera with sneers on their faces. They initally get some cheers out of respect from the crowd but considering Bubba is wearing a Yankees beanie...that doesn't help with popularity*


Maria: Tonight, you two are facing the Motor City Machine Guns for the Tag Titles. I just want some thoughts on this match.


Bubba: Do you honestly think my brother and I are intimidated at all by a pair of fllippy doody kids who are in love with video game joysticks instead of trying to have sex with women? Hell no.


D-Von: The two of us...we're throwbacks to what wrestling is all about! We kick ass instead of kiss ass...something you no good illiterate morons here in Tennessee know about!


*The fans, on cue, begin to boo the legendary tag team as soon as the verbal barb was thrown their way.*


Bubba: You see...we're from God's city in New York. Not some city that pretends to be thugs in Detroit or some broken down redneck piece of shit city like Nashville. What we're going to accomplish is add the XWA Tag Team belts to our already legendary accomplishments...and there isn't a god damned thing any of you can do about it!


D-Von: Testify!


*After D-Von closes with testify...the Dudleyz exit the camera before Maria can fire off a second question.*

[The Messiah of Human Torture]

The Dudleyz and the Machine Guns have a ten minute tag match where the Dudleyz continued to infuriate the crowd with their antics. Bubba even stole a man's beer and threw it back at him before Sabin dove over the top to attack him. The Dudleyz brawled, the Machine Guns wrestled and it was pretty much a clash of two styles and idealologies. Soon enough, Shelley hit the Sliced Bread on D-Von and Sabin dropkicked Bubba off the apron to retain the tag belts.

[The Messiah of Human Torture]

*ROB VAN DAM!*


*THE WHOLE FUCKING SHOW!*


Lillian: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first...from Battle Creek, Michigan...weighing in tonight at two hundred and thirty pounds...Rob Van Dam!


*RVD soon walks through the curtain as he normally does as he receives a nice reception from the Nashville, Tennessee fans.*


JR: It's grudge match time here as Rob Van Dam makes his way to the ring. Do you think the things the owner of the company has said to him is wearing on his mind?


Tazz: I really don't know, JR. I've never had a boss come after me in that manner like Iser has with Van Dam. He looks calm and confident like he normally does even after Iser went after the man's family. I think it's that aloof attitude that has the owner so mad.


JR: What Iser has done the last couple of weeks, even if he is the guy who signs our checks, is absolutely disgusting.


*Rob enters the ring, still absorbing the adulation he is receving from the crowd. Soon enough the lights dim and the fans immedietely begin a very hostile, almost violent reaction toward the owner of the company just on the lights dimming.*


JR: The mood is about the change.


*Rattlesnake soon begins to play and the negative reaction continues to brew. Soon enough, Iser walks through the curtain with that familar, glacial look on his face and that stoic attitude just incites this crowd even further. Iser doesn't even flinch at the reaction though as he just makes that same walk toward the ramp looking straight at RVD.*


JR: Look at those eyes, Tazz.


Tazz: That isn't the same look he had at Wrestlemania when he had that epic match with Raven. He wanted to win that match...here...I think someone is going to get hurt, JR.


*Iser slides into the ring and slinks to the corner before the lights come back on.*


JR: Lillian is trying to introduce Iser here...but I don't think we can hear her because of how...hostile the crowd reaction is. They obviously haven't forgiven him for his heinous assault on Jerry Lawler a couple weeks ago.


Tazz: If anything...I just think it's fueling the sickest part of his mind, JR. That's a scary thought.


*The bell does ring...and Iser slinks back up with a glare. Rob is a little tenative by his standards but Iser is just playing mindgames. The two then go face to face before Iser opens things off with a disrespectful slap right to the face.*


Tazz: That's a bitchslap.


*RVD, enraged, soon begins to pepper the owner of the company with punches and knees to the face. Iser then uses a leverage move to pull RVD face first into the corner and immedietely begins to pepper the stunned Van Dam with a couple violent knees to the corner.*


JR: Psychological warfare here.


*Rob pushes Iser away and as soon as he gets back to his feet, he's met with a couple of violent chops that make the crowd 'woo'. Rob soon responds with a kick that floors Iser and he rolls out of the ring clutching at his jaw.*


Tazz: I've felt those kicks. It definately doesn't feel good.*


*The fans begin to verbally berade Iser as he's recooperating on the outside. Iser just throws a middle finger in front of a fan while mouthing 'Fuck you too' before turning his attention back to the ring where he's greeted by with a senton over the top by RVD! The crowd goes absolutely bananas at that.*


JR: One of the greatest athletes displays what brought him to the dance with that dive.


Tazz: It looks like the GM's plan for the moment isn't working.


*RVD rolls Iser to the ring before he turns to the crowd and highfives a couple hands of support. As soon as he stands on the apron though, he's greeted with a dropkick from the angry GM. and he crashes into the baracade.*


Tazz: Never turn your back on the GM, Rob.


JR: I think we know what is coming here...


*Soon enough, Iser is on the apron and is just begging from Van Dam to get up. The ref, who normally would start a count, isn't because of the volitile nature of the match and the combatants. As soon as Rob staggers to his feet, Iser charges and leaps with a flying knee right to RVD's face and the entire complextion of the match has changed.*


JR: They really shouldn't let him do that with his knee brace like that. It's pratically a weapon.


Tazz: Well...try telling that to the boss.


*Iser soon gets this heinous smile on his face as soon as he looks at Van Dam and when we see him on camera...we see that the knee has split him wide open. Iser immedietely targets the wound with a couple of elbows right to the open wound to make the red stuff flow even more. He then finally throws Van Dam into the ring while he begins to verbally barade him.*


JR: Here comes the taunting again.


*Rob soon starts to stagger to his feet before he is met with a Mr. Wrestling II knee lift that sends him crashing back down. After that, Iser soon begins to pepper the down Van Dam with a barage of mounted punches. The ref begins the count and once he reaches four, Iser stops and shouts 'I have til five jackass.' before breaking and then he repeats the process of mounted punches before breaking again at four.*


Tazz: This is becoming a very violent situation.


JR: Iser knows how to break every rule in the ring in his own sadistic way.


*Rob begins to pull himself up as the fans begin to chant his name while Iser continues the verbal beatdown. Rob finally fires back with a few right hands that give the crowd hope.*


JR: Rob is fighting back with all that he's got!


*Rob soon charges but Iser just elevates him with a stungun and Rob rickoshes off the top rope throat first. Rob soon clutches at his throat and rightfully so as the blood begins to trickle down his face more. Iser, noticing the new turn of events, immedietely picks up Van Dam and drills him with a Hangman's Neckbreaker. He doesn't even go for a cover, but instead goes to punish Van Dam further by applying a dragon sleeper submission.*


Tazz: He hasn't broke out that particular submission in a long time, but Van Dam's head and neck have been the target of this assault.


*The fans begin to clap in support as RVD begins to show some adrenaline. After a couple of seconds, he nails Iser in the bridge of the nose once...twice...and then three times with that knee which causes him to break the hold. Iser slouches on the ropes and waits for Van Dam to get up as he makes sure his nose isn't broken. Rob goes for a clothesline, but Iser moves out of the way so Van Dam crashes into the ropes and as soon as the whiplash comes in, he drops Van Dam on his head with a violent german suplex. Iser then raises his left arm over his head in a taunt that causes a loud chorus of boos and a profane 'Fuck you Iser' chant.*


Tazz: I don't think we're allowed to repeat that chant.


JR: Regardless, RVD is in deep, deep trouble.


*Iser then takes a moment to pause before mocking Lawler's 'pull the strap' taunt which incites the crowd even further before he picks up Van Dam*


JR: That son of a bitch wouldn't.


Tazz: He's sending a message to Van Dam, these fans, and everyone with this.


*Iser then goes to try to piledrive Van Dam, but RVD counters by trying to back body drop Iser. Iser does land on his feet, but when he turns around he meets a cresant kick that connects directly on the jaw and it knocks the owner of the company down as the crowd goes absolutely insane.*


JR: WHAM! WHAT A SHOT! What a shot by the couragous Rob Van Dam!


Tazz: Holy backfire, JR.


*The two men are on the ma as the ref begins the count. Rob's face isn't quite a crimson match but the blood is obvious all over his face. Once we reach five, Iser begins to pull himself up via the ropes as RVD starts to get up himself. The two then meet once they're at their feet and begin to trade rights. Booing whenever Iser hits and cheering whenever Van Dam hits.*


JR: It's a slugfest now.


*Soon, Iser ducks a Van Dam kick and begins to go for his three left jabs. Soon the discus clothesline trys to follow but RVD ducks the clothesline and then dropkicks Iser to the mat! Iser gets back up just to get clotheslined once...twice...and then a third time. Iser soon pulls himself up at the corner but as soon as he turns around, he eats a charged spinning kick from the revitalized Van Dam!*


JR: RVD is really groving now!


Tazz: He's feeding off the fans, perhaps even the insults just to keep going.


*Iser plops down to the mat for a moment as RVD climbs to the top. As soon as Iser stands up, he receives Van Dam's traditional kick from the top rope and he falls to the mat. RVD quickly goes for the cover. One...two...and Iser kicks out at two. RVD seeems a little disapointed in that but then runs and connects with the rolling thunder.*


JR: Rolling thunder connects! Another cover!


*One...two...and Iser kicks out again. Soon enough, Van Dam goes straight to the top rope and the fans know what is coming on the downed Iser.*


Tazz: Five Star Frog Splash is coming, Jim!


*Rob launches with the Frog Splash, but Iser rolls out of the way and Van Dam crashes into the canvas hard. Iser soon pulls himself up and he's bleeding from the mouth. He looks, however, to be thriving on the blood.*


JR: Look at that sadistic expression on his face.


*Iser signals that it is DDT time and the fans become enraged immedietely. He has Van Dam hooked up, but RVD's leg strength allows him to counter with a northern lights suplex! Van Dam can't hold the bridge but he immedietely sees he's in position in the corner. He goes to the top.*


JR: He's going to try again?


Tazz: I doubt he'll go to the same well twice, JR.


*Rob then comes off with his usua split legged moonsault, but Iser is ready for it as he elevates his knees and the knees catch Rob right in the face.*


JR: Good lord, what a shot.


*Rob is stunned from that as he staggers to the ground and then back to his feet where he meets a rejuvinated and angry Iser who then proceeds to kick him in the gut and spike him hard with that DDT.*


Tazz: There's that DDT. It's over now.


JR: Go ahead and cover him, Iser.


*Iser sees the crowd dispirited and booing but instead of going for the cover...he picks up the lifeless Van Dam by his hair and just shakes his head. He's shouting 'You failed your family! You failed me...and you failed MY COMPANY!' before dropping him with a second DDT.*


JR: For God's sake...a second DDT. Enough is enough.


*Iser soon begins yelling right at RVD's ear as the ref stands there awestruck at the carnage Iser is causing. We catch that Iser is shouting that this is all Van Dam's fault before he picks him up again.*


JR: For the love of...not another one!


Tazz: This is Iser sending a message, JR...it's a scary, horrific message.


*Soon enough, Iser drops RVD with a third DDT and with that...combined with the bloodloss he's almost lifeless. Soon enough, Iser finally makes the cover and he gets the academic three count as the fans begin to boo feverishly.*


JR: Well, he won the match.


Lillian: The winner of the match...Seth Iser!


*Iser gets back up, absorbing the boos he's getting with a stoic expression before looking back at the anihalated Van Dam with distain. He then just rolls out of the ring...knowing he did the damage.*


Tazz: I don't know if anyone wants to cross this man now.


JR: Look at RVD...he needs a lot of medical help here. He's bleeding, he's lifeless, and that son of a bitch that's his boss is the reason why he's like that. He could've won the match earlier but...why did he have to execute two more of those damned DDTs?


Tazz: I really don't know...but to cheer you up...it'll soon be time for Raven to grace us all and retain his championship!


JR: I know it'll be a great championship match and I'll objectively call that match to the best of my ability...but damn this man for what he just did to Rob Van Dam tonight!

[#HEEL Dark Lord]

GET READY TO FLY!!!



Lilian: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the XWA World Heavyweight Championship!



Golden pyro begins to fall, as the hooded figure of AJ Styles becomes visible, as the crowd cheers loudly.*




Lilian: Introducing the challenger , from Gainesville, Georgia, weighing in at 218 pounds, The Phenomenal AJ Styles!




JR: Here is the number one contender to the XWA title. AJ has been waiting quite a while to get in the ring with Raven.


Tazz: AJ is going to get his chance. His sodium levels will overflow here tonight!


*AJ Gets in the ring, and poses for the fans in attendence as his music fades



JR: AJ looks focused. He needs to be. He is in the biggest match of his career.


Tazz: He should also be prepared for his biggest failure, too!



*AJ shrugs off his jacket as various stage workers rush onto the stage, and begin to inflate something*



JR: What is going on here?



Tazz: Beats me.



*The crowd murmurs, as AJ looks on, as the arena go dark*







*The lights dim, as smoke begins to empty from the back, and the crowd boos the loudest of the night, knowing who is about to appear. The large inflatable letters spell out "Dark Lord" as they begin to stretch around the stage*



Lilian: Lilian: And his opponent, from, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 215 pounds, he is the current reigning and defending XWA World Heavyweight Champion, Raven!!



* Out through the inflatable Dark Lord emerges the current XWA World champion, decked in his official XWA SALT SHAKER shirt, Raven hops around a bit, as he loosens his muscles. He begins his trek down the ramp and pauses in the middle, looking side to side at the sold out crowd, who continue to boo . Looking straight ahead, he raises the devil horns and looks upwards as a barrage of pyro and fireworks go off behind him.*





Tazz: There he is! Even has a new Inflatable Entrance prop! I love it!



JR: That was some display. An entrance fitting of the Champion.



*Raven rushes under the ropes and Slides in the ring. He walks to the corner and climbs up, raising the Devil Horns above his heads and the crowd continues to boo. Raven hops off the apron and hands the title to a nearby official and the bell rings.*




Tazz: The match is underway. I can't wait, this will be off the hook!


*AJ and Raven go face to face in the center of the ring, as Raven just smirks at AJ, and tells him he is nothing. The crowd chants for AJ, as he just shoves the champion away from him*



JR: AJ has guts. You don't just shove the champion.



*Raven laughs it off, and shoves AJ back even harder, pointing to his head that he is more intelligent than AJ. AJ gets right back into his face, as Raven decks him with a cheap right hand, staggering AJ*



Tazz: This is why he is the champion. He's always using his brain.



*AJ stumbles at Raven, who hits him with another hard right hand. AJ manages to keep his balance, and hits Raven with his own forearm to the face. AJ keeps up the pressure, giving forearm shivers to Raven, as he backs the champion into the corner*



JR: AJ is taking the fight to Raven.


*AJ mounts the ropes, and begins to punch away at the champion. Shot after shot after shot. On the final shot, Raven grabs AJ by the legs, and drops him face first across the turnbuckle pad*



Tazz: There is one way to get out of the line of fire.



*With AJ on the ground, Raven drops to the mat, and locks AJ into a rear chinlock. Raven sinks in the pressure,, stretching out AJ, as the crowd wills him on*




JR: No one will question Raven's technical prowess. He is exceptionally gifted.



*AJ makes his way to a vertical base, as he elbows Raven in the midsection, and runs off the ropes. Raven lifts a knee, and hits AJ with the kicthen sink. Raven quickly reapplies the Chinlock, halting AJ's jolt to a stop.*




Tazz: Raven wants to wear down AJ. Slowly.



*The crowd starts to get restless, and Raven cotntinues to take the fight out of AJ. Raven wrenches back, nearly squeezing AJ's neck in half, as he gasps out for air*



JR: Raven is wrestling a slow, methodical pace.



*AJ once again makes it to a vertical base, as he tries to break free of Raven's clutch. Raven let's go of AJ, and decks him in the face with another right hand, then yanks him back down to the mat with force.*




Tazz: That wil rattle your brains.



*Raven takes a few moments to gloat to the sold out Nasville fans, as they let him have it. Raven motions into the camera, that he still wants his popcorn. Raven turns his attention back to AJ, as he lifts him up and whips him off the ropes. Raven goes for the rebound clothesline, as AJ ducks under Raven, then leaps over him, bouncing off the ropes, and hits the champion with a picture perfect dropkick*




JR: What agility from AJ. He is going to want to pick up the pace.



*With Raven reeling from the dropkick, AJ leaps into the air, and hits a knee drop across the face of Raven. He goes for a cover*



Tazz: First pin of the match.



*AJ Gets a count of two, as, he runs off the ropes, for another knee drop. Raven sees this, and moves out of the way, as AJ's knee crashes into the mat. Raven shakes off the cobwebs, as he begins to stomp on the injured knee of AJ*



JR: Take out the knee, you take out a lot of AJ's gameplan.




*Raven steps directly onto the back of Styles' knee, and stomps down. Causing AJ to roll around in pain*



Tazz: I think he is trying to break AJ's legs.



*Raven mocks AJ on the mat, holding his own knee in mock pain, as he laughs at the fallen Number One Contender. Raven grabs the leg of AJ, and drops an elbow drop, and locks his leg into a grip*



JR: Raven is displaying his wide array of technical moves. He is picking AJ apart limb by limb.




*Raven goes for another elbow drop, as AJ manages to kick Raven away, and get up. AJ shakes off the effects of his knee, and knocks Raven down with a spinning wheel kick. As the champion crashes to the mat, AJ leaps over the ropes, and springboards at Raven, hitting him with a huge flying forearm smash. Raven gets back up, as AJ knocks him down with a stiff clothesline, and goes for another pin*




Tazz: Does he really think that can win?




*AJ gets another two count as he picks up Raven, and signals for the Styles Clash*



JR: He is going for the Clash. This could be huge!



*AJ taunts for the Clash, as he grabs Raven in position. Raven drops to a knee, and pushes AJ to the corner, breaking up the move. The ref gets in the middle and asks for a clean break. Raven regains himself, and gives AJ a thumb to the eye, blinding AJ for the time being. Raven grabs AJ by the face, and violently rakes his eyes, making AJ fall to the mat. With AJ grounded, Raven applies a modified standing Camel Clutch, gouging at the eyes of AJ, as he applies pressure. Raven drops an elbow down onto the middle of AJ's back, as he continues to wrench in the Camel Clutch*



JR: Raven is bringing out all the stops, here tonight.



*AJ uses all his strength, to make it to his feet, as Raven is still on his back, and he eblows Raven in the face. A few more shots, and, Raven is focred to drop off, and let go*




Tazz: AJ is able to escape. He is lucky.



*With Raven off his back, AJ leaps onto the ropes, and jumps over Raven, and hits the float over reverse DDT, and goes for the pin and gets another two count*





JR: AJ can't get flustered, he has to stay patient..



*The crowd cheers AJ on, as he feels the momentum pumping. He picks the champ off the mat, and goes for a suplex. Raven blocks the suplex, and knees AJ in the gut. Raven grabs AJ, into the Clash position, and mocks the sold out crowd with AJ's taunt*




Tazz: Raven going for his own Raven Clash!



*Raven pushes AJ out of the hold, and eye pokes him again, and downs him with an STO and goes for the pin.*



JR: The champ going for his first pin of the match.



*Raven gets a near fall, as he grabs the arm of AJ, and locks him in an armlock, as the fans voice their displeasure. Raven wrenches the arm as far back behind AJ's head as it can go. Feeling the damage is done, Raven let's go of the hold,and kicks AJ in the back of the head*




Tazz: Well, that turns off AJ's light.



*With AJ's back to him, Raven makes a few motions with his right arm, as it becomes obvious what his intentions are*




JR: It looks like Raven is wanting to hit AJ with that Elbow.



Tazz: Raven wants to give AJ his daily dose of Sodium, with the SALT SHAKER!



*Raven keeps rolling his arm, as AJ staggers to his feet. As AJ turns around, Raven spins around, and goes for the SALT SHAKER! AJ is able to spin around, and nail Raven with the Pele kick, as both men fall to the mat. AJ draps an arm across the chest of Raven, as the ref gets into position*




JR: This could be it!



*As the ref begins to count, a figure appears on the side, and yanks him out of the ring. The camera pans around, as we see the pale form of Daffney grinning at the ref*



Tazz: Daffney saved Raven!



JR: She stole the victory from him.



*As the ref admonishes Daffney, Raven gets to his feet and kicks AJ downstairs, as the ref did not see it, and drops him with a Flatliner*



Tazz: Brilliant! The ref didn't see it!



*Daffney lets the ref get back in the ring, as the ref sees Raven pin AJ*



JR: Now, Raven thinks he has AJ beat.



*Raven gets a near fall, as he punches the mat in anger, as Daffney shrieks loudly in frustration. Raven picksAJ up, and grabs his face, yelling at him to stay down. AJ recovers, and kicks Raven in the midsection and grabs him in the Styles Clash. AJ picks him up, and slams Raven face first into the mat*




JR: STYLES CLASH!




*AJ flips over, and doesn't go for the pin. Instead, AJ hops over the ropes, and lands on the apron*




Tazz: He could be looking for the 450 splash.



*As AJ is about to leap onto Raven, Claudio Castagnoli appears, and jumps over the guardrail, and let's out his trademark HEYYYYYYYYYY! as the ref turns his attention on him*



JR: That's Claudio Castagnoli! What is he doing here?



*As the ref looks at Claudio with amazement, Chris Hero runs down the ramp, and Rolling Elbow's AJ in the back of the head, causing him to tumble through the ropes, and back into the ring*




Tazz: Now, Chris Hero is here! We have the Kings of Wrestling in the house tonight!




*Raven rolls his way to the corner, and uses the ropes to pull himself up. He sees AJ on the opposite side, and stalks down, waving his hand in front of him, awaiting AJ to get up*




JR: I think Raven is looking for the Dark Assassin.



Tazz: If he hits it, it's all over!



*AJ groggily, makes his way up, as he turns around, and is met by the Sprinting Champion, as he delivers the Dark Assassin. Raven hooks the leg, as the ref counts the pin*



JR: NO! Not like this!



Tazz: Raven retains Baby!



Lilian: Here is your winner, and, STILL XWA Heavyweight Champion, Raven!




*I Came To Play hits the PA, as Daffney grabs the XWA title from the time keeper, as she and The Kings of Wrestling enter the ring and help the champion up*




JR: AJ was screwed! He had the match won, if it weren't for the Kings showing up. What are they doing here anyway!?



Tazz: Maybe, they are fans of Raven. Not for nothing, they have great taste in friends.



*Raven makes his way to his feet as he takes his title from Daffney, as he holds it up high, that grin plastered all over his face, as the crowd boos him loudly. The Kings step into the ring, and stand tall over AJ, as they hook their arms, and pose. Daffney SCREAMS loudly in approval, as AJ is left writhing on the mat in pain*




Tazz: This is great, it looks like The Kings of Wrestling are alligning themselves with Dead Pool. This night keeps getting better.



JR: That was out of line. Sadly, we are out of time. We hope you enjoyed Barely Legal. We will see you next time folks!



Tazz: RAVEN IS STILL OUR CHAMPION BABY!!!!!




*The scene fades, with the group posing in the ring, as the crowd continues to boo loudly. Raven makes a salt shaker motion, over AJ, and at the rest of the arena in Nashville, as the camera zooms in on his title*



Winner: Raven via pinfall (17:00)
