We open up on the newly assembled team of Trixie, Tornado Desencadenado and Jack Santore gathered backstage among the crates, catering tables and other show equipment. Trixie stands in front of her clients as they listen intently and carefully to her words.

Trixie: So this list is clearly my way to show you guys, the rest of the roster that I'm determined to climb on my own work, totally not because of my personal contacts. Don't let anyone really try to knock you down and definitely give it your all tonight. There's two titles to play for, imagine how great it would be. Jack Santore, champ in WCG alongside Tornado Desencadenado, champ in WCG and me, perhaps the New Gen Champion in time.

Trixie says pacing around wearing her hair fringe back, a black dress with mesh arms and v neck collar that did show a little of her bust and her legs led into a pair of heels, clearly here to watch the show.

From his spot atop one of the crates Tornado gives a thoughtful nod. The Whirlwind Wunderkind is in his ring gear already.

Tornado: Sounds good. I'd love a shot at the West Coast title at some point; though right now I'm focused on Latimer. It's taken months to finally get him in the ring, and I'm not going to look past him.

Jack leans against the wall, next to the crate Tornado has taken a seat on. He has on a New York Giants shirt but his wrestling gear is otherwise on as well. He nods along with Tornado and turns back to Trixie.

Jack: Yeah, I can't wait to get a title shot. I feel like this triple threat is a good opportunity to continue grinding and hopefully I get noticed and considered for a future shot. Donovan and Gabriel are no joke. I'll have my hands full. But I feel good about this match.

Trixie: Well I used to tag with Gabriel's sister Angel, so be absolutely on fire Jack. But remember triple threats are no joke. If you win yours tonight, you've beaten two people in one night, like I beat Anton, the Heavyweight Champion Yujiro and Red Dragon, in one night. Totally makes you feel on another level and I will make sure Devlin knows to make Kaylee watch your match intently.

Jack listens intently to Trixie, soaking up every word of encouragement and advice the veteran has to say.

Jack: I'm definitely ready to make an impact. I can't wait to get into the ring tonight.

Trixie: Great. And Tornado, you've been in the ring with me in Union Battleground, I'm totally sure that you literally can tie Scotty into knots, but stay sharp as well. Take your time, I know you wanted this but don't rush yourself sweetie.

Trixie says now turning towards Tornado.

With a grin, he gives Trixie a thumbs up gesture.

Tornado: Thanks. It's not going to be easy-nothing worth doing ever is- but I know I can beat him.

Trixie: And if any funny business goes down you'll have each other's backs too, right?

Trixie leans in suggesting they'll work together.

Tornado: Absolutely. I doubt Griffin or Basch will try anything, that's not how they operate, but Jack can count on me if something ever does come up. Same goes for you, Trixie.

Jack nods along with Tornado. He seems to agree with him emphatically.

Jack: Yeah, I appreciate that. And same for you, if Scotty gets out of hand, I have your back. I know how personal and tense things are between you guys.

Trixie: Well good luck boys. I'll go back and find my seat, make me proud.

Trixie high fives them both up top and turns on her heels to walk.

Tornado slides off his perch to stand. He nods to Jack.

Tornado: Thanks for the offer. I don't trust Latimer, no matter what he says. Guy's all about mind games. But tonight the game's over for him.

Jack stands with his arms folded, he grins at Tornado's enthusiasm.

Jack: I think you'll be in good hands. You've got Ruby there and she's not likely to favor anyone. She's friends with Scotty, but I don't see her screwing you over.

Rubbing the back of his neck apprehensively, the wrestler shrugs.

Tornado: I know. Not happy she's forced to play a part in all this, but it was the only way I'd get the match.

The Spin Doctor changes the subject; his demeanor improving as he does.

Tornado: You got a tall task for yourself tonight as well. Donovan is a beast. I know from personal experience. And Griffin is going to be motivated; he needs to back up all his Twitter talk with a win or he's going to look like an idiot..

Jack shrugs, cocking his head to the side. He seems to be pumping himself up for the match now.

Jack: Yeah, I was really shocked when I saw my name on the card next to those two, to be honest.

Jack chuckles a bit as he confesses his surprise to being included in this match.

Jack: But it's an honor. It means someone is paying attention and I don't intend on wasting this opportunity.

Tornado laughs.

Tornado: Especially when WCG only runs once a month.

Jack chuckles.

Jack: Yeah. These opportunities are few and far between.

Jack extends his hand to TD.

Jack: Well, good luck out there. Remember, I've got you if you need me.

Tornado grasps Jack's hand and shakes it.

Tornado: Likewise.

The two men go their seperate ways for now as Tornado walks off confidently and Jack begins stretching his arms to get loose for his match.

Camera cuts to Mr. Gabriel Griffin walking down a hallway dressed in a suit and carrying a backpack. He bumps into a stage hand and Gabe recognizes him from a few weeks ago.

Gabe: Kenny!!!

Kevin: Um, its Kevin sir.

Gabe: Right Right. Look Kenny I need some help. I’m looking for the Social Media Intern. Not sure who he is, but I know he likes to dress like Spiderman.

Kevin: Yea its..

Gabe: See, I need his help. He has real power that I don’t think he realizes to affect change.

Gabe reaches into his backpack and pulls out his book, “5 Steps to reach Technical Serenity”

Gabe: I need to get him this so he can hype it on Social Media and he or she and I can affect real change here in WCG.

Kevin: Sure, The Int..

Gabe: Is a secret, yes I know Kenny, but I want you to know its all hush hush. I get that just know Kenny your secret is safe. Take another book for, well you do what you do best.

We move into the arena.

Opening Match

Melina Wilson vs Megan Rydell

The show moves into the arena as pyro go off as West Coast Genesis Crossroad:Rise goes live on air. We pan the arena and the commentary table with Hayden Phoenix, as we focus on him.

Phoenix: Here we go! Our opening match between Megan Rydell and Melina Garrison.

The lights darken and “Happy Song” by Bring Me The Horizon blares over the PA system and and the intro can be heard as the lights flash on and off.

~~S.P.I.R.I.T.
Spirit, let's hear it
S.P.I.R.I.T.
Spirit, let's hear it
Let's go!~~

Mackenzie: Coming to the ring and making her debut… weighing in at 125 pounds and residing in Los Angeles, California… SHE IS MEGAN RYDELL!

When the first verse hits, out walks Megan Rydell, who garners a bit of a mixed reaction from the crowd but there are more cheers than boos. She raises her hands in the air before she sprints down the ramp and slides in. She then climbs up one of the turnbuckles and raises on hand in the air before hopping down and staying in that corner as she waits for the match to begin.

Phoenix: Despite being her first match ever, Megan doesn’t look nervous at all. This doesn’t surprise me with the way that she carries herself.

Mackenzie: Coming to the ring… Weighing in at 120 pounds and hailing from Boise, Idaho… SHE IS MELINA GARRISON!

Bad Girls World by Halestorm starts playing, as Melina Garrison would walk out. She stops at the top of the ramp, as she looks at everyone, before throwing her hands up, as she bends her knee.She soon snaps her hands down, before walking down to the ramp, as she climbs the ring ropes. She would climb into the ring, as she goes over to her corner, climbing on the turnbuckle, as she sits on it, with her long legs laying on one of the ropes to her side as she waits for the match to start.

Phoenix: Melina is also making her debut here at West Coast Genesis! Exciting times!

DING! DING! DING!

Megan is quick on the attack as she charges Melina. Rydell goes for a clothesline but Melina dodges it. As Garrison turned around, Megan drops her with a Pele kick sending her through the ropes and outside the ring. Garrison is quick to get back up but eats a knee before Rydell grabs her in a headlock and pulls her around the side of the ring. Garrison fights to try and escape the lock but Rydell gains momentum running forward with a bulldog driving Garrison face first into mats on the outside. The referee starts to count the two women out.

ONE

Phoenix: The referee starts their cunt.

Megan lifts up the prone Melina all the way to her feet and whip her into the barricade.

Phoenix: Megan needs to take this match back inside the ring damn it!

Megan whips Melina into the corner post on the outside before grabbing her and sliding her in the ring.

EIGHT

Megan Rydell then gets into the ring herself and the count stops.

Phoenix: Two seconds away from a count out there.

Garrison rolls into the corner and gets back up to her feet using the turnbuckles. Immediately Rydell runs across the ring with a step up enziguri kicking Garrison square in the face. Megan then goes for the cover.

ONE

TWO

Phoenix: THR-NO! Kickout!

Garrison kicks out. Rydell stands up frustrated that Melina Garrison won’t stay down. She watchs her prey slowly rise before running in with a clothesline, but Garrison ducks under and grabs Rydell’s neck using her own momentum to bring her down in a neckbreaker. A mixture of boos and cheers come from the crowd as Melina picks up some momentum.

Phoenix: Mixed bag for Melina here tonight. Same goes for Megan.

Garrison sits up trying to shake away the earlier beat down. Rydell rolls out the ring, but Garrison wastes no time bouncing off the ropes across the ring to nail a baseball slide knocking Rydell into the guardrail. Garrison places a stiff knee into Rydell’s gut before throwing her back in the ring. Following her quickly she whips Rydell into the ropes catching her with a hip toss, followed by a leaping elbow drop to the chest. Melina pins.

ONE

TWO

Rydell easily kicks out.

Phoenix: Nowhere near enough to get the three count yet. Megan is showing her resiliency.

Both women rise to there feet and stand face to face in the ring. Rydell throws a forearm but is meet with one right back. As they trade blows the fans cheer and boo. Rydell gets the best of it with a knee to Garrison’s mid section. She hooks her head again and makes her struggle before Garrison finds the power to grab Rydell’s leg and lift her back in fisherman’s style suplex, holding the leg for a pin.

ONE

TWO

KICKOUT!

Pheonix: Melina almost pulled one out right there! Wow!

Again both women start to get up, but this time they roll to either end of the ring using the ropes to climb up. Garrison charges across the ring to try clothesline Rydell over the top rope but Rydell ducks down pulling the top rope down sending Garrison over falling onto the apron. She bounces up but is slapped hard across the face by Rydell before she jumps up drop kicking Garrison in the chest knocking her back down to the concrete again.

Phoenix: These two just can’t keep it in the ring!

Rydell slides out and stays on top of Melina, relentlessly hitting her with Muay Thai strikes and kicks so that Melina can’t get up. Eventually, Megan grabs Garrison by the back of the neck and throws her into the ring post, Garrison doesn’t defend herself in time horribly going face first into the post snapping her head back as she crumbles to the floor. She looks knocked out as Rydell struggles to lift her and roll her back in the ring.

Phoenix: Damn! What brutality by Megan Rydell! She might look sweet but she’s a killer!

Rydell sees Garrison down on the mat as she heads towards the corner. She climbs up to the top and looks down.

Phoenix: Does Garrison even know where she is right now!

Megan leaps off of the turnbuckle, going for Fly-Dell (The phoenix splash) but at the nick of time, Melina is able to roll out of the way and Megan lands down ontop the canvas, chest first.

Phoenix: Megan missed! She could be in trouble!

Megan stumbles to her feet in a daze when Melina Wilson grabs her from behind and locks in the Million Dollar Dream (modified Tazmission). Melina pulls Megan down while holding onto her head, choking her out from behind. Megan reaches for the ropes but can’t seem to get to them.

Phoenix: The younger Rydell is in trouble! Looks like she’s going to lose her first ever match.

In a desperate move, Megan kips herself backward, turning her position on Melina into a pin while Melina holds onto the submission move.

ONE

TWO

THREE!

DING!!! DING!!! DING!!!

Mackenzie: Your winner…. Megan Rydell!!!!

Phoenix: Wow! Megan was able to flip herself backward onto Melina while Melina kept her in the hold and Megan got the three count! Unreal! I’ve never seen this!

“Happy Song” blares over the PA system as a confused Melina lets go of the choke hold. Megan gets up, gasping for breath as she holds onto her throat. The referee raises Megan’s hand in the air in victory but Megan pulls it away before she steps up into Melina’s face. Megan’s gaze narrows as she looks at Melina before surprising the crowd by leaning in and hugging the veteran competitor and the fans cheer. Melina grabs Megan’s hand and holds it up in victory.

Phoenix: That was a surprising turn of events! But I like it!

We move backstage.

The cameras cut backstage where we find Ruby Lance in her locker room already decked out in her referee uniform for the evening. She has opted for short black shorts with her wrestling boots and a customized referee tank top that's been cropped and tied at her back. She is looking down at the South Bay Championship in her hands, likely thinking about her own match coming up later this evening against a very good friend.

Another title belt is tossed next to the South Bay title. It belonged to the Seattle Pro Pride champion Scotty Latimer. Ruby looks up at Scotty not sure what is going to happen since their last encounter ended in disagreement.

Latimer: Not the only one with a title belt now huh?

She nods in response to that statement, offering him her best effort at a smile before she stashes her title into her locker.

Ruby: Yeah. Congrats, by the way. I know I've said it before, but really congratulations.

He takes his belt and throws it in his bag then places it in on the floor.

Latimer: So still pulling double duty tonight huh? Hope you are getting two checks.

He laughs softly as he snap and claps his hands looking around her personal locker room

Ruby: Didn't really ask.

She shrugs her shoulders.

Ruby: The thing is, I don't really want to do this. And I know I could have said no but Anthony wanted this match and it's the only way it would be signed. You know that. I can't just turn my back on a friend.

Latimer: A real friend wouldn't ask his friend who has a title match in the same night to referee a match that he can't win

He voiced his opinion again about it knowing she didn't want to hear it. She sighs and, reluctantly, she nods her head.

Ruby: I know, but… it is what it is. And I wanted to make sure you both got to be on the card.

He looks at her smiling.

Latimer: Wait….wait….I needed help to get on this card? Are you serious with this right now?

She looks to him and sighs.

Ruby: I didn't mean it like that, Scotty.

He puts his hand up.

Latimer: Look I'm not here to fight. No matter our disagreements about wrestling or the fact these marks love you and are jealous of me…..you know that we are close. You are one of my best friends in the business and out of it. I don't want you refereeing because you have a title match later and need to focus on it.

He touches her cheek so she would look at him.

Latimer: So I'll make this quick tonight….so you can get focused on it...ok?

She takes a deep breath and his confidence doesn't sitting with her the way that it seems to put a smirk on Scotty's face. However, she gives him a good, solid nod.

Ruby: Okay. Good luck out there.

He didn't want them to leave upset at each other

Latimer: Look….I'm sorry you got dragged into this. I promise I won't do anything to embarrass you tonight. I'll wrestle straight up and prove who the better man and professional is. Ok?

He kisses her on the cheek and smiles at her before he walks away.

We cut to the back and see Kaylee Kassie peering across her desk at an unknown person.

Kaylee: I wasn't completely sure about offering you this contract. I appreciated some of the stuff I saw in footage, but other stuff made me think you would be a liability. You did recently break someone's neck.

The unknown man nods his head as he looks over the contract.

Kaylee: Then again, there's a few people on this roster that I wouldn't be to upset about that happening to.

The man nods once more as Kaylee looks him over.

Kaylee: You know you're gonna have to talk a lot more if you sign that. Just one of the things we expect of our roster.

: I know.

Kaylee smirks as he finally says something, then signs the contract. He slides it across the desk to Kaylee and stands up.

Kaylee: I'm expecting big things from you. If you're anything like the man who suggested we sign you, I expect you'll see gold in the very near future. Welcome to West Coast Genesis, Mister Hunter.

Hunter: Thanks.

The camera finally reveals Jason Hunter, as he shakes hands with Kaylee Kassie.

Kaylee: Tell your mentor that I said hi.

Kaylee gives Hunter a slight smirk and he just nods, knowing the match history between her and Matt Shields. He heads out of her office as we go back to ringside.

Phoenix: Well, huge news right there early in the show. It looks like the protege of former Redemption Wrestling heavyweight champion, Matt Shields, has been signed to West Coast Genesis. I know one roster member will be very happy about that signing.

Match 2

Izzy Rocks vs Venus

The lively riff to Paramore's 'Renegade' plays as Izzy Roxx comes out, followed by her tubby manager, cameraman and best friend Seth Walton. She can be heard calling out 'Welcome to the Izzyverse, baby!' as she points a finger towards the arena ceiling, then proceeds to make her way down the ramp, slapping every hand in sight. After entering the ring, she continues to mug to the crowd, and generally try too hard to appear cool.

Mackenize: This next match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first from Across the Izzyverse~! She is IZZY! ROXX!

Phoenix: Izzy is pumped and ready for her pay-per-view debut against Venus tonight. She's billed this as a planet and goddess vs. an intergalactic Empress. Should be a good one.

"Sick Individual" hits the speakers and Venus slinks her way out onto the stage wearing her anonymous mask that has become synonymous with the Messiahs. She makes her way down to the ring and climbs onto the apron, crawling in under the bottom rope. She removes her mask and licks her teeth as she smiles at Izzy's baffled expression.

Mackenzie: Introducing the opponent! From the Kingdom of Nirvana! She! Is! VENUS!

Phoenix: Rocket number nine take off! We are being graced with the presence of Venus! As dangerously sexy as they come, she looks ready to go. I hope Izzy is ready for this one.

Ding Ding Ding!

The bell sounds and Venus starts us off by… blowing a kiss to Izzy. Izzy is even more baffled (kind of offended, actually) by this behavior and Venus scores with a kick to the midsection! She spins on her heel and CRACKS Izzy upside the head with a spinning backfist that takes the teen off her feet! Venus throws her head back in a delightful laugh and lowers herself to her knees, crawling up Izzy to make the cover.

ONE

TWO

Izzy throws Venus off of her!

Phoenix: Venus is trying to end this one early! Entrancing with her sexuality and then a brutal spinning backfist that I thought put Izzy's lights out.

Izzy crawls into the corner, holding the side of her head and Venus doesn't let up! She takes advantage of Izzy's trapped state and pummels her with knee strikes to the midsection! Venus leaps onto Izzy's thighs and throws her out of the corner with a monkey flip! As soon as Izzy sits up, Venus flips over her with a neckbreaker and goes right back into the cover!

ONE

TWO

Izzy kicks out!

Venus muscles Izzy back down onto her shoulders and hooks both legs for another quick cover!

ONE

Izzy kicks out quickly!

Phoenix: Venus is not letting up here on Izzy. I don't think Izzy expected this kind of aggression from Venus.

Venus drags Izzy up by the hair, ignoring the referee's warning about using the hair, and flings her into the corner! Venus once again attacks with knee strikes and is when she goes for another monkey flip, Izzy is able to hold onto the ropes to keep from going anywhere! She stacks Venus up for a quick cover!

ONE

TWO

Venus kicks out!

Phoenix: Izzy out-smarted Venus there and almost took this thing in a flash!

Izzy hits a series of quick dropkicks almost quicker than Venus can get to her feet each time. She blasts Venus with a forearm and backs her into the ropes, sending her across the ring with a whip only for Venus to counter. Izzy rebounds and catches Venus with a headscissors takedown! She follows Venus into the corner, jumping onto her thighs and delivering a monkey flip of her own!

Phoenix: Now Izzy has taken over and Venus can barely keep up with the quickened pace!

Venus sits up just as Izzy hits the ropes and slides into her with a basement dropkick! Izzy rolls into the cover and hooks the leg!

ONE

TWO

Venus kicks out!

Izzy yanks Venus to her feet and Venus rips Izzy's legs out from under her! Venus jumps into a mounted position and goes wild with strikes as Izzy tries to cover up! Venus pulls Izzy up and shoves her back into the ropes, spinning on her heels as Izzy rebounds, throwing another spinning backfist that Izzy is just able to duck! Izzy leaps onto Venus's shoulders and spikes her with a hurracanrana!

Phoenix: Izzy avoids a second backfist! Best move she could have made so far and what a hurracanrana!

Izzy goes into a quick cover!

ONE

TWO

Venus grabs the ropes!

Phoenix: Too close to the ropes! But Venus looks to be on dream street after that hurracanrana!

Izzy calls Venus to her feet and snatches her up for On the Roxx but Venus comes to lift and throws elbows upside Izzy's head! Izzy stumbles back and throws a clothesline that Venus ducks and she catches Izzy in the Bitch Killer (Standing D'arce Choke)! Izzy flails and fights as Venus snatches it in tighter, jerking Izzy around!

Phoenix: The Bitch Killer is locked in! Izzy is fighting with everything she has but it looks cinched in!

Izzy elbows her way into an opening and arm drags Venus off of her! Choking in some air, Izzy pulls herself up in the corner. Venus rushes into two raised boots! Izzy pulls herself up to the second rope and flies with a front dropkick that knocks Venus off of her feet!

Phoenix: Izzy escapes the Bitch Killer! What resilience! Now she's fighting back!

Without missing a beat, Izzy heads back to the top rope and gets some serious hang time Acoss the Izzyverse with a Diving Crossbody that takes Venus back off her feet!

ONE

TWO

Venus rolls through into her own cover!

ONE

TWO

Izzy kicks out!

Phoenix: Across the Izzyverse for a nearfall but Venus almost stole it!

Venus stalks Izzy and slaps on the Bitch Killer again only for Izzy to throw an elbow before it's locked in, cracking Venus upside the skull! Izzy is on Venus in a flash, grabbing her around the throat and snaps her back On the Roxx with a Cutthroat Backbreaker! Izzy makes the cover!

ONE

TWO

THREE

Mackenzie: Here is your winner… IZZY! ROXX!

Phoenix: Izzy picks up another win! A hard-fought win over a very persistent Venus!

Izzy bounds to her feet and has her arm raised in victory! She races up the turnbuckle and celebrates with her fans! THUMBS UP FOR AWSOME WINS!

Camera cuts to Mr. Gabriel Griffin still searching for the Intern. His backpack looks lighter than earlier.He rounds a corner and walks into WCG Champion Ryan Keys

Gabe : Oh Hi.. sorry. Didn't see you there.

Ryan is a bit startled by that, as he takes a step back from the taller guy. His ice cold eyes look up, only for him to chuckle and shake his head a .

Ryan: It's all good. That's what corners do sometimes. Good thing you didn't walk into someone that would punch your face in, good job.

The champion tugs on his black duffel bag over his shoulder and straightens his long sleeve shirt before clearing his throat. A tattooed hand extends in front of him to greet the new guy.

Ryan: Hey, I'm....

Gabe shakes Ryans hand and looks at him quizzically as he interrupts Ryan

Gabe: You look familiar. I feel like I should know you from somewhere but I just can't place the face. Anyways its not important. Im looking for the WCG Intern? Have you seen him?

Furrowing his brows, Ryan shuffles his title hanging from his pocket to spark something, yet he ends up shaking it off.

Ryan: Okay then… uh, interns. Yeah, I guess I was called in about something like that. But you’re way off. The interns are all in the GM’s office. I was about to head over there myself. If you’re lost I can probably take you there.

He suggests, while rolling his shoulder. Ryan’s eyes scanned over the guy. He knows that he’s seen him before somewhere, but couldn’t quite put a finger on where. With a suspicious look, he waited for the man’s decision.

Gabe frowns before brightening.

Gabe: Ah yes of course. GMs office. Sure i get it it. Look i can tell you’re carrying around that belt because you don't want people to know. The social media intern is a very sought after position so a man would do everything to keep it. Trust me. Your secret is safe.

Gabe reaches into his backpack and slaps a book into Ryans hands.

Gabe: Now take this as my gift to you. No no thanks is not needed. Just go do what you do best.

Gabe smiles and pats Ryan on the back as he begins to walk on.

Ryan: Uh.. what? Hey man, I’m not… Hey! I’m not an intern! You can… and he’s gone.

Keys sighs heavily he looks down at the book confused, rolling it around and checking it from side to side before his eyes settle on the man’s name. Shaking his head with an amused expression, the WCG champion stretched his neck and look over at the passageway.

Ryan: Painting this is gonna be interesting.

With that he headed over in the same direction as Gabriel since the GM’s office was their destination. Tonight in Crossroads: Rise things will be heating up in more ways than one.

Match 3

C.J. Lorson vs Tasmin Richards

We move back into the arena.

Mackenzie: The following match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, she is Tasmin RIchards.

"Sex Metal Barbie" hits as Tasmin comes skipping out in a leather biker jacket, a black top and black jeans. She makes her way down to the ring high fiving fans before running and sliding under the bottom rope popping up to her knee's.

RIng announcer: And her opponent... CJ Lorson.

The snare drum beat to Worker’s Song by Dropkick Murphy’s tears through the air in the arena quickly followed by the electric guitar riff. C.J. Lorson bursts through the curtain and hops on the balls of his feet waving his hands motioning for the crowd to get loud. The fans respond in kind as C.J. makes his way down the aisle at a very quick pace. He rolls into the ring and shoots up to the middle rope, raising his hands in the air to a louder response from the crowd. He hops down from the turnbuckle and warms up in his corner as the music fades out.

Phoenix: This is going to be a good one. Both of these competitors are trying to establish themselves here in West Coast and this is a chance to shine tonight.

DING DING DING

The bell rings and Tasmin and CJ circle each other. They go to lock up but Tasmin hits CJ with a knee lift doubling CJ Over. Tasmin is quick to hit an elbow to the back of CJ’s head before attempting an Irish whip. CJ comes off the ropes into a clothesline by Tasmin and hits the ground hard.

Phoenix: Tasmin off to a quick start. She needs to keep on CJ and continue the momentum.

CJ rolls on the mat as Tasmin adds a few kicks for good measure before throwing her arms out and calling to the crowd. She walks over to pick CJ up and is pulled into a small package. The Ref counts.

One…

Kickout.

Phoenix: This is why you can't take your eyes off of your opponent. CJ used a crafty move to get back into the match.

Both wrestlers get their feet and begin trading blows. CJ finally blocks one of Tasmins haymakers. CJ throws a few more punches before a strong boot to the gut. CJ grads Tasmin and pulls her up for a vertical suplex sending Tasmin hard to the mat. He immediately goes to work stomping on Tasmins Leg. She grabs it as CJ Continues the assault. CJ lifts a leg and drives an elbow into the knee.

Phoenix: CJ isolating Tasmins leg. This won't go well for Tasmin if CJ keeps this up.

CJ picks Tasmin up and performs a backdrop landing Tasmin’s lower back right on his knee. She reaches behind, holding her back as she arches on the ground. CJ looks at the crowd as he begins to build momentum. He picks her up again and hits a snap suplex.

Announcer: Tasmin is reeling. CJ has definitely taken control of this match. He seems relentless looking for the win tonight. Tasmin better figure things out quickly or this will be a quick end.

CJ goes for the cover.

One…

Kickout.

Phoenix: Well there still is some fight left in Tasmin. Though this may just be delaying the inevitable. After a quick flurry from Tasmin, CJ has taken control.

CJ looks to the ref in frustration. He turns back and brings Tasmin to a vertical base before sending her into the corner with an Irish whip. Tasmin hits the turnbuckles hard as CJ runs in but Tasmin dives out of the way. CJ throws a shoulder into the post. He grabs his shoulder in pain as Tasmin keeps focused on the match.

Phoenix: Oohhh, that is going to leave a mark! CJ just may have made the mistake of the match by missing that spear in the corner.

Tasmin stands as CJ stumbles back out of the corner. Tasmin hits a running bulldog sending CJ to the ground. He is dazed. Tasmin feels the crowd cheering as she steps back waiting for CJ to start to move. CJ slowly starts to stand. As he gets to a knee Tasmin hits Shining Witch.

Phoenix: Shining WItch, that could be it for CJ he goes down and might be out.

Tasmin goes for the cover.

PRE-RECORDED

Rise cuts to a special video package that shows a battle royal taking place at Origins, involving Julianna DiMaria, Ruby Rose, among others that participated. Soon enough, Julianna herself is heard on a voice over.

Julianna: Three months ago, I had a shot to make history. I not only had a chance to claim West Coast Genesis as a world of my own, but I also had a chance to make history as the first ever West Coast Champion. For someone like me, the honor was very befitting and three months ago in Ontario, I took exactly the step that I needed to take in order to make my dreams come true…

The video package next shows Julianna dumping Cynthia Machado over the top rope and onto the floor in order to win the battle royal and her spot in the main event later that night.

Julianna: Everything played out just according to plan. I was in that main event, doing what my supposed comrades and friends in Rachel Redding and Jessica Hardy couldn’t do. They failed to live up to their potential and it’s not that much of a surprise that both are out of WCG. It didn’t matter to me. I was in the main event. I had that ladder match against Trenton Kelvin and Ryan Keys. All I had to do was climb the ladder, retrieve the championship and make the history I felt in my heart I was destined to make….

The video package suddenly makes a dramatic pause and a change to black and white when Ryan Keys unhooks the championship to essentially steal a history making moment that Julianna felt belonged to her.

Julianna: And then HE happened…

The next clip reveals a dejected and angry Julianna sit and watch, with a bitter look in her eyes, Ryan Keys celebrate with the championship.

Julianna: My championship, my history making moment, my world… it was all taken from me in one fell swoop by that man.

The next video highlight is the two wrestlers competing against each other for the West Coast Championship at Hype #2. At this point in the match, it was a back and forth battle.

Julianna: But I had another chance. I figured that I would make his party short lived and that it was all just a brief delay of the inevitable….

The next highlight shows Ryan pinning Julianna at the end of the match, the footage taking another dramatic, black and white pause.

Julianna: And then it happened again… but damn, did I have to fight to claw my way back or what?

The video package turns to colorful highlights of Julianna’s recent matches, including both of her wins in the All-Female Invitational on the main roster, her win over Venus on the last Hype, defeating Jack Tillman in the quarterfinals of the Super Falcon Cup over in GOL and some never before seen footage of Julianna pinning Ryan Keys on a road show leading to the championship match that is going to take place tonight.

Julianna: And now? I have. After all of my experiences in the last three months, some good, some bad, I know that I have everything it takes to become the West Coast Champion. Tonight, I will no longer be denied my destiny. I may not ever be known as the first ever West Coast Champion, but starting tonight, I’ll be known as the BEST EVER West Coast Champion and that’s something none of my doubters and detractors can take away from me.

The vignette then fades into a black promo studio where Julianna DiMaria is seen in a more present time.

Julianna: This has been my goal from the very first day that I came to West Coast Genesis and tonight? I finally make it happen. No more delays, no more going to the back of the line. You are all going to witness what a TRUE West Coast Champion should be. Tonight, you witness the fall of the Reign of Error and the RISE of the DiMaria Dynasty!!!!

Julianna has an angry, yet determined look on her face, ready for battle later in the night as the pre-recorded vignette fades to black.

Post by Devlin Scott on Aug 9, 2017 5:23:32 GMT -5

The show goes backstage as Serenity Wilson dressed to the nines in a beautiful dress is standing there smirking into the camera.

Serenity Wilson: I look good right? I mean seriously…..what wrestling interviewer possibly looks better than I do.

Serenity turns then looks back into the camera.

Serenity Wilson: Yeah dude….I know I'm on. Ladies and gentlemen….my guest at this time….the #FutureElite and founding member of the best group in pro wrestling today the #MidnightHorsemen..Scotty Latimer!!

The crowd gives out a huge mixed reaction with a few more boos than cheers as Latimer struts into the shot. He takes a look at Serenity.

Scotty Latimer: Is she cooking or what….hey camera monkey pan out and get a shot of us.

The camera pans out as again Serenity spins around as Scotty is decked out in slacks a dress shirt and a jacket.

Scotty Latimer: Alright junior back on me. Tonight….well I am going to give you some breaking news Serenity. Tonight is unfortunately my swan song here in West Coast Genesis.

Serenity Wilson: What? How can WCG possibly survive with you not being here?

Scotty Latimer: Well….the brass that runs this company finally realized that I was too big to be here in West Coast Genesis so….Redemption Wrestling is about to be taken to that Latimer Level. So tonight….in that very ring...with the South Bay Champion Ruby Lance as guest referee….I leave with Tornado D’s pride. That's right Anthony….shooter...you are my swan song. I'm stepping over you as I climb that Redemption mountain kid.

He removes his sunglasses and looks seriously into the camera.

Scotty Latimer: and after it's all said and done….and the lady that you can only dream about having a chance to be with slams her hand down three times or calls for the bell after I tap you out….that makes you exactly what I always said you were. Generic….boring...nothing special. See you out there shooter….

Scotty puts his sunglasses back on. He is about to leave but stops.

Scotty Latimer: Oh before I go...West Coast Genesis fans that are saying that since I'm leaving now the show will go to shit….don't worry….your boy Scotty is going to leave this place in elite hands…

He kisses at the camera as he walks away. Serenity smiles as the shot fades to black.

Match 4

Jack Santore vs Gabriel Griffin vs Donovan Basch

We move back into the arena as Mackenzie stands in the center of the ring.

Mackenzie: The following contest is a Triple Threat Match!

The beat to DMX' "The Rain" blares through the arena as "Slingin" Jack Santore appears on the stage, shadow boxing and bobbing his head to the beat.Jack walks to the beat with a purpose, fist-bumping the fans along the aisle. Jack walks up the steps and into the ring, he holds his right fist in the air to an explosion of cheers. He nods his head in approval of the ovation and continues shadow-boxing until the music fades.

Mackenzie: First to the ring... he is Jack Santore!

Gabriel walks slowly out from the back as Pardon Me starts over the speakers. He pauses at the top of the stage until the drums kick in when he pumps a fist to the crowd and walks to the ring.
Climbing into the ring he acknowledges the crowd and climbs a corner raising both arms before jumping back to the mat to start the match.

Mackenzie: Next to the ring...

Once the opening chords of "Poor Twisted Me" echo through the arena, Donovan emerges from the backstage area, taking his time to survey the arena and the fans attending the event. He plasters a derisive smirk upon his face and makes his way to the ring, chuckling to himself as he soaks in the rancor of the crowd. Once he reaches the ring, he performs a standing jump from the floor to the apron, pausing long enough to shoot one last look over his shoulder before entering the ring.

Mackenzie: And finally...

DING DING DING

The three men circle around the ring, staring each other down. Santore, realizing he is the smallests competitor in the match, starts off with a stiff kick to the back of Gabriel Griffin’s knee. Griffin buckles down, not taking a knee though, as Santore kicks him again in the same spot. Immediately after that second kick, Donovan Basch runs into Jack Santore with a shoulder tackle to the back, planting Santore. Jack gets back to his feet, but Donovan grabs him from behind, looking for a german suplex. Jack struggles to get out, preventing Basch from launching him. Donovan jerks Jack Santore, and regains his base for a suplex, but Gabriel Griffin hits Basch with a forearm strike.

Phoenix: Early offense from all three men!

Gabriel grabs Basch into a front headlock, looking for a vertical suplex, but Jack Santore dropkicks Griffin, which makes Griffin plant Donovan with a DDT! Griffin gets to his knees, but Santore takes him back down with a basement clothesline. Jack kips up, but is instantly taken from behind, and launched across the ring by Donovan Basch with a release german suplex. As Santore rolls through onto his feet, Donovan picks up Santore into a vertical suplex hold, showcasing his strength. Gabriel Griffin starts to charge at Donovan, but Bash tosses the upside-down Jack Santore into him, making them both fall to the floor. Donovan lays on top of Jack Santore, looking for a pin.

Phoenix: Not quite a full two count here. Basch looking for an early win there.

Jack kicks out with authority. Donovan goes to pin Griffin next, but Gabriel was waiting for him, and rolls up Basch with a small package

One

Tw-

Phoenix: Not a two count but a great effort regardless!

Jack Santore breaks up the pin attempt with a kick to Griffin’s back. Griffin grimaces in pain, as he gets to his feet, and is met with some stiff chops by Jack Santore. Jack cracks Gabriel Griffin with a discuss forearm, making Griffin stumble back. Jack grabs Griffin up, and uses all his strength to plant Gabriel down with a scoop slam. Jack takes a few steps, looking like he is going to go for some sort of kick, but he is turned inside out with a lariat from Donovan Basch. Donovan goes for a pin, but Jack rolls out of the ring, and onto the floor outside. Basch turns his attention to Gabriel Griffin.

Phoenix: Donovan looking to take control of this match. He wants it!

Basch hammers down onto Griffin with a series vicious forearm smashes, but Gabriel explodes up, and lifts Basch off the ground, dropping him with a massive double leg take down. Gabriel Griffin mounts Donovan Basch, and lands some good strikes to the head Donovan. Jack Santore comes back into the ring, and locks in a rear choke on Gabriel, who was completely transfixed on bashing in Donovan’s face. Gabriel tries to wiggle free, but the smaller Santore is positioned just right, and Griffin can’t reach him. Griffin does manage to get to his feet, but he’s seems to be fading fast.

Gabriel Griffin rushes over, and launches himself into the turnbuckles, trying to get Jack Santore to release the choke hold, and it works, but only for a second. Jack Santore locks in the choke again, and Gabriel stumbles out to the middle of the ring. Griffin is fading fast, barely still on his feet. Right before he can get to a knee, Donovan Basch hits the ropes, and takes out Griffin with a massive spear, crushing Jack Santore in the process. Donovan Basch pins Griffin, as Jack Santore rolls into the corner. The referee counts!

Phoenix: A pin attempt!

Thr-NO

Phoenix: Close! It was close!

Griffin desperately kicks out and Basch looks up in frustration. Donovan berates the referee, telling him to count faster, as he gets to his feet. Donovan looks over to the corner, and sees Jack Santore getting to his feet. Basch picks up Gabriel Griffin into power bomb position. As Donovan Basch begins to march towards the seemingly feeble Jack Santore, Jack explodes from the corner, and hits Donovan with a basement drop kick to one his knees. Donovan crashes to the floor, landing on his side, as Gabriel Griffin crash lands awkwardly on the mat.

Phoenix: Ye-ouch! That looks like it could have hurt badly!

Jack tries to pin Donovan, but both Basch and Griffin roll out of the ring in different directions. Jack sits there in frustration, before deciding to exit through the ropes. He exits out where Basch had rolled out, and hits Donovan with a diving double-axe handle to his back, taking Basch to his knees. Jack gets behind the kneeling Donovan Basch, and slams down with german suplex onto the hard floor around ringside. Jack works up the crowd, as he notices Gabriel Griffin getting up around the corner.

Jack springboards off the steel steps, looking for a flying clothesline, but is met by a stiff right hand to the gut by Griffin. Gabe whips Jack into the barricade, and then back into the apron. Jack goes to punch Griffin with a haymaker, but Griffin side steps and counters by kicking Santore hard in the stomach, doubling him over. Gabriel grabs Santore’s head, hooks his leg, and slams Jack down with the Beat-U suplex!

Phoenix: Beat-U Suplex! He nailed it!

Gabriel slowly lifts Santore to the apron, and rolls him into the ring. Griffin takes a second to catch his breath, before rolling into the ring, and he pins Jack Santore

Thre--

No! Donovan Basch makes the save by launching himself into Griffin and Santore. Basch pops up to his feet, and grabs the slowly rising Gabriel Griffin into a fireman’s carry. Basch walks around the ring, and yells in triumph, as he slams down Gabriel with his Apocalypse Spinebuster. However, as Donovan Basch pops back up from the momentum of the slam, Jack Santore comes from out of nowhere, and hits Basch with a desperation float-over DDT. All three men lay incapacitated on the mat…

Phoenix: This is any man's match!

The referee begins to count.

Gabriel Griffin is the first man up as he reaches and grabs Jack Santore. He grabs the head of Jack looking for a Float over DDT, but as he does, Donovan comes out of nowhere with a massive Big Boot nearly taking the head of Griffin off. He drops hard to the mat as he is down. Jack tries to take advantage grabbing Donovan from behind with a pin attempt, but the big man stands his ground. He reaches down and grabs Jack, lifting him up. Donovan hits Apocalypse (Fireman’s Carry Spinebuster) and Santore slams down against the mat. Donovan drops to his knees and makes the pin.

Phoenix: Gabe is still out!

DING DING DING

Phoenix: Wow... what a finish to this match!

Mackenzie: The winner of the match... Donovan Basch!

Donovan makes a motion like he is coming for the West Coast title as we see a preview for tonight's Main Event.

We cut to the backstage area, where we see Danni LeBlanc and her fiancé Donovan Basch in their dressing room. Danni is in her ring gear, standing stone-faced in front of the mirror. Donovan moves to stand behind her, reaching up to put his hands on her shoulders, only to jump back as she turns around to face him, her expression unchanged. He has a towel over his shoulder from his matches minutes ago.

Donovan: If looks could kill... I certainly wouldn’t want to be Zane Story tonight.

Danni: And by the time this night is over, neither will Zane.

Donovan: I don’t think I’ve ever seen you this eager to get into the ring, Nixy... frankly, I kind of like it.

He leans in to give her a kiss, but she puts her hand up, blocking him by covering his mouth. It’s the first time she has ever refused him. Stunned, he takes a step back as Danni shakes her head.

Danni: Not now, Donny. I need to stay focused. This is so much more than a match to me. I’m normally not a vengeful person, but he’s taken something from me that I can never get back. Now, it’s my turn to take something from him... his ability to leave the ring under his own power.

Her voice takes on an uncharacteristic growl as she starts to head toward the door. But before she leaves, she reaches up and touches the side of Donovan’s face. Her face softens, but only slightly. Still, it’s enough to put him at ease to know that despite her foul mood, the angel he fell in love with is still there.

Danni: My match is up next. I promise you, though. Once this is over, I’m all yours.

Donovan: I’m going to hold you to that...

A smirk crosses Danni’s face as she heads out the door. The cameras follow her into the hallway, where she pauses, tapping her finger against her chin as if she’s thinking about something. After a few seconds, she lets out a dark chuckle. Then, instead of heading toward the gorilla position, she heads off in the other direction. Noticing this, Donovan rushes out of the room, pointing in the direction she’s supposed to be going.

Donovan: Danni, where are you going? Gorilla’s that way!

Danni stops in her tracks, looking back at Donovan over her shoulder. She lets out another chuckle as she nods her head.

Danni: I know what I’m doing, Donny. Don’t worry... it’ll all make sense soon enough.

She waves at him before resuming her walk down the hallway, leaving Donovan shaking his head as he watches her.

Donovan: I certainly hope so....

He follows her with his eyes until she’s out of sight, then strokes his chin before walking back into the dressing room. With that, the scene cuts away.

Match 5

Danni LeBlanc vs Zane Story

Mackenzie: The following contest is set for one fall! Introducing first, wrestling out of Calgary, Alberta, Canada... ZANE STORY!!!

Phoenix: This match has the potential to get ugly, folks. From the very beginning, Zane Story has done anything and everything possible to make his opponent’s life a living hell, and it all comes to a head in this match.

The lights black out the arena and you hear the revs of a crotch rocket motorbike as Ryder Anthem hits over the PA system the fans give out a mixed reaction as the ramp lights up with green and white lights. As the lights flash to the music and explosion hits the stage, you hear the revs again as Zane Story emerges from the smoke on his Green and Black Crotch rocket. He rolls down to the end of the ramp then revs it up burning the back tire up and giving the fans a smoke show. He gets off the bike and rolls under the bottom rope taking off his white hoodie and pointing to his abs for the ladies. He whips his sunglasses off and smirks at the camera. He tosses the hoodie out of the ring and leans against the ropes smirking.

Mackenzie: And his opponent, she hails from El Segundo, California.... DANNI LEBLANC!!!

Phoenix: Danni LeBlanc was literally a fingertip away from championship gold at the last Hype, only to have it taken away from her by Zane Story interjecting himself in a match where he had no business interfering. She’s bound to have nothing but vengeance on her mind tonight!

“California Love” begins to play as the crowd is bathed in crimson light and the name "Danni" appears on the Tron. In the ring, Zane Story stares toward the entrance ramp, waiting for his opponent to step through the curtain, but the stage remains empty. After a few seconds, Zane stands with his hands on his hips, saying something the cameras at ringside can’t pick up on, a cocky look on his face. But as he’s watching the entrance ramp, the crowd on the opposite side of the ring begins to stir. Out of nowhere, Danni appears through the crowd, making a beeline toward the ring. She hops over the barricade and slides under the bottom rope, hopping up to her feet and daring Zane to turn around with a look of pure hatred carved into her face. The second Zane does turn around, Danni charges at him, sending both him and herself spilling out of the ring with a vicious spear.

DING DING DING

Phoenix: And right away, we get off to a hot start as Danni uses the element of surprise to catch Zane off guard. This could be an interesting match!

Back at ringside, Danni gets to her feet, grabbing Zane by the hair and whipping him hard into the ring steps. He slams into the steel back-first, stumbling forward and holding his back in pain. As he looks up, he sees Danni charging toward him again, and slides under the bottom rope into the ring in the nick of time, sending Danni crashing shoulder first into the steps instead. She grimaces from the pain, but shakes it off as she follows Zane back into the ring.

Zane is waiting for her, laying a series of stomps into her shoulder before she can get to her feet, then grabs her by the hair and pulling her into position for a facebuster. He drills her into the mat, then goes for a quick cover, looking to put her away early.

One...

Tw-NO!

Danni kicks out before the referee can slap his hand to the canvas for the second time, causing Zane to get frustrated. He gets up, once again grabbing Danni by the hair as he pulls her to her feet. Once they’re both standing, Zane is greeted by a nasty slap to the face that sends him reeling. Danni fires off a series of lefts and rights, mixing in a few kicks to the legs and body as well.

Phoenix: Looks like all of that training with Donovan Basch is beginning to rub off on her; there’s a lot of power in those kicks!

Zane begins to fire back with a few punches of his own, backing Danni up just enough to give him room to hit her with a dropkick. He makes contact, but the force is only enough to send her stumbling into the ropes, holding her jaw. She looks across the ring, sneering at Zane as she leans on the ropes. Zane runs across the ring, leaping at Danni with a cross body block that sends Danni to the outside. He then mounts the turnbuckle, watching from up high as Danni slowly gets to her feet. Once he sees his opening, he jumps from the top rope, hitting Danni with a hurricanrana to the arena floor.

Phoenix: Insane Zane! Zane Story takes out Danni LeBlanc with an absolutely brutal maneuver on the outside! But he’d better get back in the ring if he wants to win this match.

Zane slides back into the ring, showboating for the fans, but is greeted with a deafening chorus of boos. Meanwhile, Danni is starting to stir on the floor, even as the referee is counting her out. As the referee reaches five, Danni is back on her feet, shaking off the cobwebs. She sees Zane gloating in the ring, then dives under the ring, leaving Zane baffled.

Meanwhile, the referee is still counting. As he reaches seven, Zane moves to the other side of the ring, thinking Danni’s going to pop up over there. Instead, she comes out from under the ring from the same side that she had crawled under, sliding back into the ring as the referee makes it to nine.

Phoenix: And LeBlanc makes it back in with just a second to spare, but does Zane Story even know she’s back in the ring?

Thinking Danni’s been counted out, he starts to climb the turnbuckle, only to find himself unable to climb any higher. From behind, Danni has grabbed the waistband of his pants, shaking her head as she burns a hole through him with her eyes. He tries to blast her with an elbow, but she easily moves her head out of the way, shoving him into the turnbuckle. He stumbles backward, right into an inverted DDT. Zane rolls over, pushing up to his knees as Danni bides her time, waiting for just the right moment to strike. Zane finally staggers to his feet, only to be greeted by the Boot-a-rang (540 roundhouse kick) that knocks him back down to the canvas.

Phoenix: That’s it... he’s done for. It’s pretty much academic at this point, folks!

Danni goes for the cover on Zane...

One...

Two...

NO!

Phoenix: What is she doing!? She was one count away from winning!

Zane doesn’t kick out; rather Danni breaks up the pin herself, standing up and shaking her head “no.” She points at the turnbuckle and climbs up to the top rope. Looking down at Zane, who hasn’t even so much as twitched a finger since that kick to the head. She looks out at the cheering crowd, then with a nod of her head, she points at Zane with one hand, giving a “thumbs down” gesture with the other. She shouts out “RIPTIDE” then flips off of the corner, flattening Zane with a shooting star senton.

Phoenix: That must be the surprise Danni tweeted about earlier tonight! That’s gotta be it, folks! There’s no way Zane’s getting up after that!

Strangely, Danni doesn’t go for the pin.

Phoenix: She’s STILL not done?

She drags him by the ankle to the corner, slipping out of the ring. She takes Zane’s leg and slams it hard against the ring post once... twice... a third time. At that point, she wraps his legs around the ring post and then locks on a figure four leglock. The referee tells her to release the hold, then starts a five count. At the count of four, Danni lets go, sliding back into the ring. Feeling the sudden pain in his knee, Zane comes to, trying to back away from Danni, but to no avail. She grabs the leg she had targeted earlier, rolling him over and pressing hard on the back of his knee with her foot. Zane screams, but as the referee drops down to ask if he wants to submit, he shakes his head and screams “NO!” Danni rolls him onto his back, but as she moves to inflict further punishment, he uses his other leg to kick her away, buying himself some much needed time to recover. He tries to stand up, but he can’t put any weight on his left leg after Danni’s brutal assault. The referee goes to check on him, but quickly moves out of the way as Danni grabs Zane by the ankles and drags him back into the center of the ring. She quickly ties him up in the LeBlanc Lock (bridging figure four leglock). Zane has nowhere to go at this point. He screams even louder before finally tapping out.

DING DING DING

Mackenzie: Here is your winner as the result of a submission... DANNI LEBLANC!

As Danni’s music plays one more time, the referee raises her arm. After a few seconds, she pulls her arm away, watching as the EMTs come out to check on Zane. As they load him onto a stretcher, Danni stands in the center of the ring with a smile on her face.

Phoenix: I don’t think I’ve ever seen Danni LeBlanc wrestle like that! Zane Story looks like he could be injured, but we won’t know for sure until he gets looked over by the EMTs.

We move backstage.

The scene cuts to the back as standing there is Melina Wilson, with Mercedes Carter, who was the girlfriend of Austen Blackwell. Melina was a bit confused as to why Mercedes had a mic in her hand. Before Mercedes can say anything, Melina speaks up.

Melina: Alright Mercedes, what's going on? Why are you the one interviewing me?

Mercedes smiles, as she looks at the taller female. She tries to straighten up, to not appear too short on camera.

Mercedes: Well, I'm the newest interviewer for West Coast Genesis, actually.

A pause, and then a smile by Melina Wilson.

Melina: Really? That's great. I know you will do a great job.

She says with a bit of an eye roll.

Melina: I have a feeling you will be better than some of the others. Good for you, but... wait... am I your first, besides anything you have done with Austen?

Mercedes smiles, as she nods her head. It was indeed her first official West Coast Genesis interview outside of Austen.

Mercedes: Well, yeah I am. Is that a problem? I signed a contract with Kaylee and everything.

Melina bunches her lips, before responding.

Melina: No, but just think you should interview someone lot more suited first. But hey, it's all good. Ask away.

Mercedes looks a bit annoyed, as if Melina was talking down to her.

Mercedes: Maybe, but I would rather interview you. Don't be so difficult, Mel. Geez.

Melina looks shocked by Mercedes' response.

Melina: I'm not, but if you think I am I will just go find something else to do. You know? Like, watch Scotty beat Tornado!

Mercedes thinks real fast before smiling.

Mercedes: Okay Melina; Why do you think Scotty Latimer is going to beat Tornado tonight?

Melina: Because I know Scotty has the talent to. Besides, I am not going to doubt my best friend like that. Like I said though, I should go so I can watch the match. So maybe next your interviewing skills will be better.

Before Mercedes can say anything, Melina walks away, leaving her standing there alone as we move back into the arena.

We quickly move backstage as we see former Redemption wrestler Avery Miles III talking to Midnight Horsemen Interviewer, Serenity Wilson.

Avery: Okay. I will be right back. I will get you a couple bottles of water.

Avery heads out of the room and down the hall, and he turns and bumps right into her ex-husband and current West Coast Genesis talent, Gabriel Griffin.

Avery: Oh, hey.

Gabriel looks up from his phone as he bumps into Avery.

Gabe: Well hello. Fancy running into you here.

Gabe puts on his biggest smile he can.

Avery sort of looks around awkwardly.

Avery: So... big show then?

He tried to make terrible small talk. Gabe's ex wife Serenity was not rumored to be dating Avery, making for this meeting that much more odd.

Gabe shakes his head slightly giving a brief light laugh.

Gabe: Yea it is. How's it going?

Gabe shows is obviously flustered but maintains the fakest of grins.

Avery: Good. Not bad. A little jet lagged. I was back in Georgia with... erm... Long flight yesterday. How about you?

The conversation bordered on uncomfortable for any onlookers.

Gabe: Yea. Georgia... that's ... a long flight indeed. *gabe pauses* Me? I'm just peachy keen. I suppose.

He gives an awkward laugh.

Gabe: Well. Have you read my book?

Avery: Um... no?

Avery so badly wanted to just get past him and grab the bottles of water, but he was not going to be rude either.

Gabe: Well Tex, it will change your life. I have a copy right here.

Gabe holds up a copy of his book cover open.

Gabe: Let me sign it. *he speaks as he writes* To Tex, Enjoy the book it's been more then a year of my time and I hope you enjoy it. Signed Gabriel Griffin.

He hands Avery the book.

Avery: Do you .. even know who I am?

Avery was perplexed.

Gabe gives a slight nod and a painful forced smile.

Gabe: I am very aware of who you are. Now smile for the cameras Tex.

Avery: Okay, Gabe.

Avery shakes his head and works past him as the cameras return back to the arena.

Match 6

Special Guest Ref: Ruby Rose Lance

Scotty Latimer vs Tornado Desencadenado

"Hello" by Karmin pumps through the speakers as Ruby Lance struts her way out, decked out in her referee uniform for the evening. She flips her hair as she swivels her way into a sideways stance at the top of the stage. She greets the fans with a bright, cheery smile and performs a little dip before skipping her way down to the ring. She interrupts her skip long enough to slap a few outstretched hands on her way. Hustling up the ring steps, she ducks into the ring under the middle rope and gets herself ready for the task at hand.

Mackenzie: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your guest referee for the upcoming contest… she is the South Bay Champion… RUBY LANCE!

Phoenix: Ruby has got herself a huge match coming up later tonight as she defends her South Bay Championship against Austen Blackwell, but right now she's got a huge task of settling this rivalry between her two friends Tornando Desencadenado.

The guitar riff to “Blow Me Away” cues up on the venue’s speakers. Tornado walks out from behind the curtain and does several “chain-breaker” warm ups. Afterwards he bounds back and forth across the stage; encouraging the fans to cheer louder. Tornado then jogs down the ramp, slapping any offered hands. When he reaches the ring apron he rolls inside, pops to his feet, and does a couple of spins around the center of the ring with his arms outstretched (ala Kurt Angle). Finally, he takes his right fist and thumps the left side of his chest three times.

Mackenzie: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, making his way to the ring from Metairie, Louisianna… he is TORNADO! DESENCADENADO!

Phoenix: You can cut this tension with a knife right now. Ruby and Tornado had a bit of a falling out all centering around her position in this match, which Kaylee ordered Tornado secure before this would be signed. Tornado doesn't trust Scotty and made it clear that Ruby shouldn't either.

"Personal Jesus" plays and out comes the arrogant Scotty Latimer who slowly walks to the ring forcing the audience and his opponent to wait for Him. He wants the world to enjoy the beauty of Lattimer and takes his time So they can soak it in. Finally he gets to the ring, slowly gets on the apron, enters the ring, and waits for the match to start.

Mackenzie: And the opponent! Hailing from Manhattan, New York… he is SIMPLY RAVISHING! He is SCOTTY! LATIMER!

Phoenix: Scotty Latimer's star shines bright and if you don't believe me, just ask him! He's made it clear that there are very few people in West Coast Genesis that he believes are on his level. Ironically, Ruby Lance is the one he called out as the only other bonafide star shortly after he signed with the company. That was the beginning of what brought us here, believe it or not.

Ding Ding Ding!

Ruby calls for the bell and we are off! Tornado and Latimer circle one another before cautiously moving in for a tie-up. There's a short struggle where neither man wants to give up the leverage, but when Scotty gets a handful of Tornado's hair he's able to muscle TD back into the corner before Ruby gets on him about the hair pulling and being in the ropes. Latimer releases and holds his hands up innocently. TD responds but SLAPPING Latimer across the face to a chorus of "Oooooooooh" from the crowd.

Phoenix: Tornado is brimming with rage for Scotty Latimer and as you can see he has very little respect for the so-called Elite Prince.

Latimer rubs his jaw and chews on his anger for a moment, backing out of the ropes without any kind of incident to plenty of surprises all around. He calls Tornado back in and when he gets for the tie-up, Latimer buries a knee into his stomach and KNOCKS him off his feet with a roaring elbow! He goes into a quick cover, but Tornado kicks out at two and rolls into the ropes to try and clear his head.

Phoenix: Latimer has been in firm control of this match, which has been surprisingly slow paced. You have to wonder if Ruby Lance's presence has something to do with that. Latimer is certainly wrestling a much tamer styler than we're used to seeing from him. Not a lot of shortcuts or rule breaking in the early going.

Tornado gets back to his feet and as Latimer advances, TD quickly slips behind him, grabs Latimer around the waist and looks to launch him with a German suplex! Latimer grabs the ropes to block and screams at Ruby to get TD off of him because he's in the ropes! Ruby does as the rules state and orders TD off. There's hesitation from Tornado but a five-count is started and he begrudgingly releases the waistlock at two and backs off. Latimer goes for a surprise Super Kick but Tornado catches his foot! He drags Latimer into a Sidewinder Suplex! The Spin Doctor nails a lightning quick Pendulum Elbow and goes for the cover but Latimer is already scrambling into the ropes to be saved by referee Ruby Lance.

Phoenix: Tornado is speeding things up as only the Spin Doctor can, but Latimer is quick to shut that down. Smart on his part.

Latimer begs Tornado off but he isn't looking to lose momentum. He charges into the ropes and eats a back elbow to the jaw for his troubles! Latimer rolls through into a school boy! Tornado's shoulders are down and he's fighting but Latimer grabs a handful of the trunks to secure things as Ruby counts ONE! TWO!... wait a minute! She spots the trunks and points it out. Latimer releases, allowing Tornado to roll of his shoulders. The Elite one grins and shrugs his shoulders apologetically, earning him a stern glare from Ruby and she shakes her head in disapproval.

Phoenix: Latimer looked like he was trying to pull one over on the inexperience of the guest referee. Can't really fault him for that too much, I suppose. But he got caught.

This momentary distraction gives Tornado an opening and he takes full advantage of it with a gutwrench suplex! Living up to his name of Tornado Unchained, TD is there the moment Latimer fights up to his feet and throws him across the ring with a swinging side slam! Again, Latimer pops up to his feet and this time he eats a Discus Double Backhand Chop! TD doesn't wait his time, snatching Latimer up from the canvas and he delivers a HUGE Spin-Out Powerbomb, sitting out for a pin!

ONE!

TWO!

Latimer kicks out!

TD can't believe it and looks to Ruby with his mouth agape. Ruby shakes her head and assures Tornado that Latimer's shoulder was off the canvas before the three. He huffs his disappointment and calls for the end! He stalks Latimer who gets to his feet a little dizzily and that looks to get even worse when he's scooped up onto Tornado's shoulders and taken for a spin! Latimer manages to slip down Tornado's back, grabbing two handfuls of his hair in the process and SLAMMING him onto the back of his skull!

Phoenix: Scotty Latimer avoids a potentially disastrous Vertigone but another use of the hair raises the ire of referee Ruby Lance.

Ruby reprimands Scotty who has a good explanation for his actions! He argues that Tornado made him dizzy and he didn't know what he was doing. Likely story. Latimer rips Tornado off the canvas and takes over now. A series of knee strikes to the sternum practically beat the fight out of the Louisiana native and he's defenseless against the lifting implant DDT that puts out the whirlwind. Latimer makes his way to the top rope and FROG SPLASHES RIGHT INTO TORNADO'S KNEES!

Phoenix: Latimer goes for the Frog Splash and Tornado gets his knees up! That could be a huge mistake for Latimer!

Tornado flips into an Oklahoma Roll!

ONE

TWO

Latimer kicks out!

Not letting this opportunity pass him by, Tornado stays on the offensive. He catches Latimer up in a waistlock and LAUNCHES him with a rolling German suplex, bridging out for another pin!

ONE

TWO

Again, Latimer kicks out!

Phoenix: Tornado is on the offensive and that's two nearfalls that he almost picked up immediately following that missed Frog Splash. Ruby is down in good position to see the shoulder and make the right call.

Latimer drags himself to his feet and catches a charging Tornado with a dropkick right to the mush! Latimer pulls Tornado up and hoists him into the air with a Bainbuster but the stocky competitor flips out to his feet. He boots Latimer in the midsection and downs him with a Reverse Roundhouse Wheel Kick to the head! Tornado points to the skies and heads up for the moonsault that never was because Latimer rushes in to knock his feet out from under him! He rips Tornado off the top rope and drops him on the back of his skull!

Phoenix: Tornado was in control there but Latimer just sucked all the wind out of his sails! Now things are looking bleak for the Spin Doctor!

Ruby checks on Tornado as Latimer goes to work on the top turnbuckle pad. He barely gets it loose when Ruby notices him and says something. Latimer freezes and shakes his head, pointing at the pad and explaining that Tornado jarred it loose and he was just fixing it. A groggy Tornado rushes in, spearing Latimer into the turnbuckle in the midst of this arguing! He throws Latimer out onto the middle of the ring and revs up his forearm, calling for the end!

Phoenix: Latimer was caught again trying to cheat! Ruby really came to this prepared. But now Tornado is revving up that forearm for the Cyclone Smash! Latimer might be about to get swept up!

Latimer gets to his feet and Tornado rushes into A SUPERKICK FROM LATIMER! Latimer drags Tornado up and PLANTS him with a Latimer Driver 69 Tiger Driver! He makes the cover!

ONE

TWO

THREE

DING DING DING!

Mackenzie: Here is your winner… SIMPLY RAVISHING! SCOTTY LATIMER!

Ruby lets out a breath a sigh of relief after that is over, looking down at Tornado regrettably before getting to her feet and raising Latimer's hand in victory. He rushes the ropes to celebrate his hard-fought and clean victory as Ruby checks on Tornado.

Phoenix: A huge victory for Scotty Latimer here tonight! You have to know it feels good for him to get this win over Tornado tonight. And he did it without cheating. Probably because he had to. Who knows?

We move backstage.

The scene cuts backstage to Megan Rydell standing in front of a camera, freshly off a victory over Melina Garrison.

Megan Rydell: I told all of you that I would win my debut. I told you all that I am going to be the star of this show and that I’m going to rise through it’s ranks faster than anybody. You see, wrestling runs through my veins, just like it does my older sister. But you know the difference between Kenzie and I? I’m cutthroat. I’m coming to end you. I’m coming to destroy you.

A smirk runs over Megan’s face as she nods.

Megan Rydell: But you know what? As long as you don’t get in my way and you show me respect, I’ll show it back to you. Win or loss tonight, I would’ve shown Melina respect because she showed it to me. But I know all of you aren’t ready to do that. You just see some young little girl. You see Kenzie’s little sister. But you know what? Take a closer look. I’m the girl who beat Melina Garrison because I had all of her moves scouted. You think I came up with that pin I did on the fly?

Megan scoffs.

Megan Rydell: Please. I had that trick up my sleeve the whole time. So whoever my future opponents or enemies are, just know that I’m always going to be fifteen steps ahead of you.

Megan pauses and nods.

Megan Rydell: It doesn’t matter how smart you think you are. It doesn’t matter WHO you think you are. All that matters is that Megan Rydell is taking over West Coast Genesis and there isn’t a damn thing any of you can do to stop it.

Megan smiles before walking away from the scene and it fades out.

Post by Devlin Scott on Aug 9, 2017 5:25:26 GMT -5

The beating of a war drum gets louder and louder as the lights slowly fade in the arena. Several spotlights shot across the crowd lighting them up searching out something just like prison spot lights. A roar from the crowd come from two different parts of the arena. Almost opposite sides of the arena Lucifer and Damien step out at the top of the bleachers. CRASH, roar, fire blares out of each of the ring post illuminating the entire arena. A third spotlight catches Venus skipping out of the entrance ways towards the ring.

The Messiahs are each half way down the stands towards the ring. Each way high fives them and reach out to touch them as they both head towards the guard rail. Venus slides into the ring and dances around inside like a ring girl. Both Messiahs step up onto a chair within the first row still on opposite sides. As they do the drums. Killin in the name by rage against the machine starts as the lights fade up. After the opening riff ‘killin in the name of’ screams out, both Messiahs jump off their chairs knocking the guard rail down. They get up to throw the rest of the guard rail over.

Venus hands Lucifer a microphone has he continues to walk around the outside of the ring letting the song play on. Damien and venus from within the ring encourage the fans to get up and flood the ringside area. The more rebellious fans all start to run in crowding the space. Lucifer has to climb up to the apron to stand on the side of the ring. He laughs at how easy it was to get the fans to revolt.

Lucifer: The people stand together! We stand tall and we stand for justice. For too long has this sinking ship been focusing their attention on the wrong people. Tonight Seventh Circle drown with the ship they help build. For tonight the Messiah's sacrifice you to the cause. I know how i sound, i’ve said the same tag line for months now. But tonight we finally see exactly what the cause requires to be pleased.

Lucifer steps into the ring as more fans bundle into the ringside area.

Lucifer: Seventh Circle! Tonight we war for the last time. Oh how sweet is this moment, the final minutes before glorious battle. My friends I hope you understand this truly is the demise of everything you have worked for. After tonight if you can wrestle again you won’t want to, if you can walk again you won’t want to, if you can breath you won’t want.

Damien: A lot of trash talk about hell is spouted whenever opponents are about to face us. But this is hell. This ring, from which there is no escape. The pain is real, the consequences of our actions are very real! This is the living embodiment of hell.

Lucifer: Ha ha ha, see boys, the Messiahs will not stop tonight. No running, no giving in, if this is our last ever match because of the pain we are about to go through then so be it. But know this! You're going to be much worse off than us by the end of the night. No matter what happens tonight, we will not rest until the circle is no more.

Lucifer throws the mic down. WCG security start to try and move the fans back towards the seating and erect the guardrail back up. Seeing this Lucifer runs across the ring grabbing the mic he just dropped to lob it at the head of one of the security guards knocking the man down.

Damien: REDEMPTION! Listen to your Messiahs of wrestling! These are the people, our people. We fight for them not for you. The people are stronger than you think. They fuel us! Demand us to usher in the new dawn of wrestling. You will not hold us down.

He hands his mic over to Lucifer who drops to his knees in the middle of the ring.

Lucifer: TONIGHT IS DAMNATION. For the circle, WCG, Redemption, Devlin. You all try to control things you can not, should not and will not. Tonight ladies and gentlemen, they want the Messiah's to fail…

The fans boo all together.

Lucifer: Tonight, they finally understand who we are and what is coming. The revolution is upon us my friends. The death of the circle is the birth of a new era! I. WILL. KILL. THE. EMPIRE!

Mummy dust by Ghost, The Seventh Circle’s theme, starts to play but nothing happens. The lights don’t go and no one walks out onto the stage. Lucifer looks at the stage as Damien and Venus look around the arena expecting a trap. Numbers of fans still flood the ringside area.

Lucifer: Mind games? It's very late in the day to begin games. I love it. I can feel your anger from here. You three are mad. Cause in involved the crowd? Cause i continue to belittle your threat? I need you to remember that these our my people, they will not help you. They do not want to see you succeed. I also need you to remember that you are nothing more than your purpose. Which is to be the stepping stone in the Messiah’s crusade.

Damien asks for the microphone.

Damien: How do you think you boys have a chance tonight. We’ve turned this place into a riot and you're about to step into the belly of the beast. The people hate you, we hate you circle. Tonight we roar and bite your fucking heads off.

Lucifer, still on his knees, starts laughing maniacally. He raises his arms into the air and absorbs the people cheering and chanting on the saviours of wrestling. Damien hands the mic back.

Lucifer: Our war is coming to its conclusion! Circle! Tonight you will become legends in our tale. Boys, march to hell and make history. And after Aaynet, then will be your turn to enter your damnation. We all meet our fate tonight. ARE. YOU. READY. FOR. WAR!

The arena erupts in cheers.

Match 7

Tornado Tag Team Hardcore Match

The Messiahs (Lucifer & Damien) vs The 7th Circle (Gunnar & Karston)

Back to ringside and Hayden Phoenix, smiling at the ring crew is busy reinforcing the ring.

Phoenix: Well it is just about time for tag team action. This is a match that promises to be hard hitting violent, probably bloody, and most likely, not very long. These two teams are going to come out here and just beat the absolute hell out of each other.

Mackenzie: The following match is a tag team match. It is scheduled for one fall. In this match, there no count outs, and no disqualifications. Introducing first, at a combined weight of six hundred and seventy pounds, hailing from The Kingdom of Nirvana, Damien and Lucifer Salvatore... THE MESSIAHS!

The lights go completely black as "Killing In the Name" begins to play. A bright flash is seen in the ring. Damien holds up a white flare, a torch in the darkness. He steps towards the ropes, lowers it towards the crowd, and then tosses it, forcing them to scramble a bit. The music continues as the flare burns on. It slowly fizzles out, and again the arena is left in darkness. The music stops and the lights pop back on as Damien is now in the corner awaiting their opponents, an angry scowl having replaced his mask. Lucifer has slid back out of the ring and is already gathering weapons.

Mackenzie: Their opponents, at a combined weight of five hundred and thirty five pounds, they hail from Duluth, Minnesotta, Gunnar Wahl, Karston Daire... THE SEVENTH CIRCLE!

The lights go completely out, then after about twenty seconds, the sound of loud drums can be heard

BOOM
BOOM
BA-BOOM

BOOM
BOOM
BA-BOOM

The lights come back up and there are three large drums on each side of the entrance ramp, with massive men in viking like attire, hitting them. After one more round, they stop and "Mummy Dust" begins to play as the lights dim and a large spotlight shines down on the stage. Aaynet walks out and stretches both arms wide. Two massive plumes of smoke rise on either side of her and out steps Gunnar Wahl on the left and Karston Daire on the right. The two men let out a primal yell, then stalk their way down to the ring. Gunnar pulls himself up on to the ring apron as Karston heads up the steps. Aaynet slithers into the center of the ring and rises up to her knees as Gunnar and Karston step inside and take their places, to her left and right as all three raise their right fists high in the air, then slam them down on the ring, the lights going out as they hit the mat. The lights slowly come back up as Aaynet has moved out of the ring, leaving the monstrosities to mete out their violence.

Phoenix: Gunnar and Karston with an homage to their heritage and a new look that seems very inspired by the Night's Watch. Solid black trunks, pads, boots, the long black fur capes attached to the armor and the solid black viking war helmets, as well as the black war paint. These two are definitely an intimidating pair.

DING DING DING

As soon as the bell rings, the four men are on each other with lefts and rights. Lucifer and Karston square off as the big men Gunnar and Damien go head to head. Lucifer goes for a lariat to Karston, but it's ducked and Karston gives him a big running high knee to the face. Damien and Gunnar are just slugging it out. Damien finally gets the better of him, nails a big boot and follows up with a fall away slam. Damien turns to help his brother, hitting Karston in the back with a double axe handle as he attempted a belly to belly suplex. The Messiahs pulls Karston in and hit a double flapjack. Damien pulls Karston up and then puts him straight back down with a gorilla press. Lucifer meanwhile has gone up to the second rope. Before Lucifer can dive off, Gunnar throws a trash can lid right in his face and he crumples to the mat. Gunnar has another and slams it over the head of Damien. He cracks it over his head and a second time, then a third. Karston has got up to his feet and delivers a big running shoulder tackle to Damien. Damien is still up though, and Gunnar follows with one of his own. Damien stays on his feet, and this time Gunnar and Karston hit the double leaping shoulder tackle, taking the giant man off his feet.

Phoenix: As I predicted, some hard strikes, big power moves, and the weapons have already come in to play. The seventh Circle has taken control back here, but with the chaotic nature of this match, OH GOD!

The crowd has the same reaction as Lucifer comes in and smashes a metal trash can across the back of Gunnar. Lucifer drives the and of the trash can in to the mid section of Karston, drops it down and then hits a bulldog to Karston, slamming him down on to the trash can.

Phoenix: That things looks like it went through a car compacter. It's practically flat at this point.

Damien pulls Gunnar up to his foot and then puts the big man straight back down with a running powerslam. Lucifer follows up by grabbing a chair and placing it on Gunnar, then goes to the second rope and comes off with a senton splash. Lucifer clutches his back in pain as he rolls off and Damien makes the cover

ONE...

TWO...

THR - KICK OUT!

Karston is back up and has a kendo stick in hand, He cracks it across the head of Damien, dropping him down to a knee and allowing him to hit the Karston kick. Damien rolls to the outside as Lucifer gets to his feet and catches a kendo stick to the midsection. Gunnar slowly gets up and Karston tosses him a kendo stick. Karston slams the kendo stick in to the chest of Lucifer and Gunnar slams his right in to his opponent's back. They follow up with a double suplex and Gunnar locks in The Wailing Wahl. Damien is up to his feet on the outside. He steps up and over the top rope. Karston goes to stop him, but Damien catches him by the throat and uses a modified version of the Message From Hell to break the submission attempt on his brother. Lucifer pulls Gunnar up and hits a pendulum backbreaker. Lucifer holds Gunnar in place and lifts him up. Damien hits a neckbreaker as Lucifer hits a second backbreaker. Lucifer hooks the leg and makes the cover

ONE...

TWO...

THR - BROKEN UP BY KARSTON!

Phoenix: Another near fall for the Messiahs in this back and forth match up. It seems like every time one team gets something going, the other is right there to put a stop to them. It's the craziness of both the tornado rules and the no DQ stipulation.

Karston delivers a right hand to Damien, then a backhand chop to Lucifer. Punch to Damien, chop to Lucifer, punch to Damien, chop to Lucifer. Karston keeps at it for awhile, but Damien manages to catch one of his punches and spins him around in to a lariat from Lucifer. Lucifer signals Damien to end it and he grabs Karston up. Damien pulls Karston in to an electric chair position as Lucifer goes to the top rope. Before Lucifer can finish The Cause, Gunnar is in with a steel chair to the back of Damien. Karston slips off and hits a superman punch to Lucifer. Gunnar throws the chair down and Karston pulls Lucifer off the top rope and slams him down with The Devil's Due. Karston makes the cover

ONE...

TWO...

THRE - KICK OUT!

Phoenix: Lucifer just barely kicks out after that devastating move from Karston, right on to the steel chair.I said this was going to be a fight, and they are proving me right so far. They are taking full advantage of the no counts or disqualifications rules. I should remind everyone that this is not falls count anywhere.

On the outside, Damien has set up a table, with clear evil intentions. He slides back in to the ring, but as soon as he does, Gunnar takes him right back out with a vicious lariat. Damien somehow lands on the apron and starts to pull himself up. Gunnar looks at him, then out to the crowd.

Phoenix: Is the big man about to fly? I've heard that he has gone over the top rope before, but that's something I'm skeptical about.

Gunnar runs from one corner to the other, then goes to the middle of the ropes and flies towards Damien. He goes up and over with a sunset flip powerbomb attempt, but the massive Messiah is able to hold the ropes. Gunnar tries to power him down, but he holds firm. Karston comes charging in with the Karston kick and the big man lets go, allowing Gunnar to drive him right through the table. Back inside the ring, Lucifer slams a chair across the back of Karston. Gunnar slides in and ducks the chair shot from Lucifer. Lucifer turns and gets caught with a vicious lariat. Gunnar grabs both chairs and sets them up close to the corner. He pulls Karston up and tells him to go up top. Gunnar pulls Lucifer up and grabs him in the bearhug. Gunnar moves in front of the chairs as Karston gets up to the top rope. Karston leaps off with the leg drop

Phoenix: HAMMER OF THE GODS RIGHT THOUGH THE STEEL CHAIRS!

Karston pulls himself in to the cover as Gunnar goes flying through the ropes, taking Damien out with a suicide dive right as the ref dives down for the count

ONE...

TWO...

THREE!

Mackenzie: Your winners of the match... THE SEVENTH CIRCLE!

Karston slowly gets to his feet and raises an arm as Gunnar gets up on the outside and does the same.

Phoenix: A violent and brutal affair, and The Seventh Circle comes out on top of this. If I'm any of the teams in Redemption, these are the two guys I am looking out for.

The lights go out as the crowd hushes over in a whisper. A flare emerges from the top of the stage as lights flash from the crowd trying to get a glimpse of what is going on. The video screen lights up with a terrible noise as people try to block out the sounds. A voiceover plays through the arena.

"We are far from finished. There is nothing stopping us. There is no one holding us back. And we grow by the week."

The flare at the top of the ramp goes out as the lights come on. There is no one standing where the flare was, and The Messiahs are gone from the ring area and nowhere to be seen. The 7th Circle look at each other in confusion as we see a preview for the Semi Main Event.

The crowd begins to grow quiet as their anticipation grows, they start to get restless, as music starts to play. The intro to Over by Drake plays over the p.a. system as the entirety of The Forum bursts in a mix of cheers and jeers!

And this what I'ma do 'til it's over

'Til it's over

But it's far from over!"

When the first verse hits, the lights flash in shades of gold and white, as Billy Danielson walks out from behind the West Coast Genesis curtains! Danielson is in a nice suit, and has his Seattle Pro World Heavyweight Championship title around his waist. The WCG Universe continues to make noise for the World Champion!

Mackenzie: He is the Seattle Pro Heavyweight Champion of the World, BILLY DANIELSON!

Billy spins around slowly, showing off his gold, as he starts to walk down the ramp!

I could teach you how to speak my language

Rosetta Stone

I Swear this life is like the sweetest thing

I've ever known

Billy walks down to the ringside area, and wipes his feet before going up the stairs. He steps onto the apron, and smirks at the camera, before he steps through the ropes.

This wouldn't be the First time

I done it throwin' hundreds

When I should be throwin ones

Bitch, I Run It!

Ahh!

Billy takes his belt of, and raises it in the air, as his music dies. He places championship belts on his shoulders as he awaits a microphone from the ring hands. The crowd begins to quiet down, as he gets a mic, and starts to speak.

“WEST COAST GENESIS! MAKE SOME NOISE FOR A REAL CHAMPION!”

A myriad of yays, and boos fill the arena.

Billy: “Not that pretty who runs around, holding the West Coast Championship, or that little girl pretending to be the South Bay champion. No, no, like a real WORLD CHAMPION. One who had to literally climb the ladder of success, to obtain one of the highest honors in this industry. I am a bonafide world heavyweight champion, and combined, neither Ryan Keys nor Ruby Rose-Lance can ever amount to the amount of skill and prestige that my name brings into a company, and for those of you that have been living under a rock, or are just too plain dumb to recognize greatness, I am Billy “The G.O.A.T.” Danielson, and this is my house now!”

Again the crowd reacts, but this time, there are more boos for the World Champion, then there are cheers. Danielson just smirks at the crowd, and continues on.

Billy: “Boo at me, cheer at me, I don’t really care. I don’t need your approval to prove that I am the biggest name to EVER walk through that curtain, because this belt on my shoulder, and the check that I am cashing, just for showing up tonight, already proves it. So it doesn’t matter if I get my West Coast Championship title shot now, next show, or in five months, but I will get it and I will become your next WCG Champion. It’s only a matter of time!

Until then, each and everyone one of you watching this, whether on tv, live, or backstage, you better keep your eyes and ears glued to WCG, because business just picked up, and things… are about to become GREAT!”

He raises his title, and the crowd roars in their cornucopia of chants, cheers, and boos. The segment fades to black as it moves on to the next scene.

Having completed the difficult task of refereeing a match between two friends, Ruby Lance has changed into her ring gear and is now waiting patiently for her match. The South Bay Championship is in her hands and she's staring down at it. She takes a deep breath while she tries to let go of all the stress from earlier in the night and just deal with the forthcoming stress.

We see a split screen of Austen Blackwell, dressed in his ring gear, making his way down the hall. He has some headphones on and looks to be a very focused version of himself. He walks past an open door, seeing it was Ruby holding her championship. He backs up a couple of steps, knocks on the door frame, and slips his headphones off.

Austen: Hey… we are almost on.

She looks up at the voice interrupting her thoughts and she offers him the best smile she can possibly muster given the circumstances.

Ruby: Yeah. Yeah, we are.

Nodding along to that, she takes a deep breath and looks back down at the title. She sits it beside her and turns to face her friend and opponent.

Ruby: Look… I hope this doesn't make things weird between us. I know we said it wouldn't, but… I mean, the match hasn't happened yet. Neither of us has had to do anything that might make things weird or awkward between us. So, I just hope we're still friends after this.

Austen: No matter what, yeah. I am going out there, and I am going to do everything I can to win though. No hard feelings. You know?

He silently nods.

Austen: This is a big deal. For the both of us. Just because we are good friends does not mean that I am not going to try to take that title for myself.

They get into a moment of true competitive spirit. Ruby remains quiet, nodding her head slowly.

Ruby: Yeah. Yeah, I know. And I'm going to try to keep it. So… you know.

She shrugs.

Austen: Let me offer one more friendly piece of advice before we go out there.

He steps into the room closer.

Austen: I don’t hate you being a champion. But, if you want to keep the title? Act like a champion.

He comes off a bit different than his usual self.

Austen: This aww shucks stuff cannot always be seen. Be humble, that is good. But be proud too. Ryan Keys has barely brought eyes onto himself and the company, and Julianna has called him out for it. And I tend to agree with her. Is she going about it the wrong way? Probably. But she wants to represent THIS company. And I am sure you do. So, are you ready to defend YOUR championship?

He tries to light a fire under her, wanting the best competition possible. Ruby looks a little stunned by this change in Austen that she's never seen before. She looks over at the title sitting next to her. She grabs the title up and puts it over her shoulder as she stands up to him.

Ruby: I'm not going to pretend to be something, Austen. That's not who I am. I'm not like Julianna who tears people down to feel better about herself. But I'm not Ryan Keys either, who certainly doesn't step on any toes. At the same time, if I don't feel like a champion I'm not going to pretend to be one.

She looks down at the belt over her shoulder, a title that she's yet to ever call hers since the day she won it. After a moment, she looks back at Austen.

Ruby: But I went into that match, the same match as you, because I want to be the champion. And I won it. I am the champion. No matter what, no matter why, I'm the champion. But getting through you tonight… that's what I need to do for myself to feel like I'm the champion. So that's what I'm going to do.

Austen sees a little bit of fire start, and he is glad. He smiles.

Austen: Okay champ, let’s do this then. I’ll see you out there.

He smiles and steps forward as she is unsure as to what he is going to do. Still being the friends they are, he reaches out and offers her a hug that catches her off guard for a moment. She smiles and hugs him back. Before stepping away, he pats the title on her shoulder, smirks, and walks away.

Semi Main Event

South Bay Championship

Ruby Rose Lance(c) vs Austen Blackwell

"Lions" by Skip Marley begins to play as the lights come down in the arena. The crowd has a hush come over them. As soon as the song kicks in, Austen Blackwell enters the arena as the words "AB" appear on the screen. They fade from green to blue and back, while spinning every few seconds. Austen stands atop the entrance ramp as he raises his arms to the crowd. They cheer for the SoCal boy. He points up to above the ring as a single spotlight comes on and it lights the center of the ring. Austen yells "Come on!" as he turns his focus on the middle of the ring. He runs down the ramp and slides into the ring head first, popping back up to his feet as the spotlight shines on him. He opens his arms wide, as the fans welcome him.

Mackenzie: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, the challenger! From Oceanside, California… he is the TRUE HEART! AUSTEN! BLACKWELL!

Phoenix: Austen is getting the first crack at the inaugural South Bay Champion here tonight after a match where many argue he could have easily walked away as champion. He was at the top of the ladder and only needed to grab the belt when he decided to save Ruby Lance instead. Hence this title defense here tonight.

"Hello" by Karmin pumps through the speakers as Ruby Lance struts her way out with the South Bay Championship wrapped around her waist. She flips her hair as she swivels her way into a sideways stance at the top of the stage, placing a hand over the title belt. She greets the fans with a bright, cheery smile and performs a little dip before skipping her way down to the ring. She interrupts her skip long enough to slap a few outstretched hands on her way. Hustling up the ring steps, she ducks into the ring under the middle rope and repeats her stage pose in the center of the ring. She removes the championship from around her waist and holds it up for a round of camera flashes.

Mackenzie: Now residing in Los Angeles, California… she is the SOUTH BAY CHAMPION!... RUBY! LANCE!

Phoenix: Ruby Lance is the first-ever South Bay Champion and she's struggled with that ever since. All because of that moment where she felt Austen should have won the match. She was ecstatic that he was the first challenger and feels she needs this match to prove to herself whether she deserves that title or not.

Ding Ding Ding!

Austen and Ruby cautiously approach one another and Austen extends a hand to Ruby. She eyes it for a moment and smiles before giving it a friendly slap to a round of applause from the fans in attendance. They both advance into a collar and elbow tie-up that Austen is able to transition into a headlock. Ruby squirms out, twisting his arm into a hammerlock and Austen quickly counters into a fireman's takeover before slapping on an armlock! Ruby fights up to her feet in the hold and Austen whips her into the ropes. She rebounds and slides under his clothesline attempt. He spins around and she catches him with a snapmare takeover and immediately darts off the ropes, BLASTING him with a dropkick on her return!

ONE

Austen kicks out!

Phoenix: A somewhat slow start that quickly picked up courtesy of the champ. But Austen still has a lot of fight left in him.

Ruby catches him in a headlock before he's fully to his feet and he uses his strength advantage to lift her and throw her off! Ruby lands on her feet and Austen RUNS THROUGH HER with a hard shoulder block! Ruby hits the canvas in a daze and Austen immediately looks apologetic. He reaches down and helps her to her feet, checking to make sure she's okay.

Phoenix: Instinct looked to kick in there for Austen and he about took Ruby right out of her boots with that shoulder block. Not sure if I agree with helping her up and giving her a chance to recover, though.

Things are a little awkward now as both Austen and Ruby circle one another, seemingly back at square one. They go for another tie-up and Ruby ducks into a waistlock, running Austen into the ropes and pulling him back into a roll-up!

ONE

Austen kicks out!

Ruby springs off into the ropes and rebounds right into a discus clothesline from Austen! She bounces off the canvas and back to her feet where Austen hits a dropkick! Again, Ruby bounces up and Austen scoops her up, slamming her down into the canvas! He hits the ropes and scores with a somersault leg drop before making his first cover of the contest!

ONE

TWO

Ruby kicks out!

Phoenix: Austen strong arms control of this match and perhaps he's getting over that reluctance to fight a friend.

Austen helps Ruby up only so he can go for another scoop slam but this time Ruby slides down his back. She spins him around and CHOPS him across the chest! She chops away one after the other, backing him into the ropes and looks for a whip only for Austen to counter it. Ruby rebounds and she ducks his clothesline attempt! She rebounds again and Austen scoops her up for a sideslam, but Ruby locks her legs around his neck and sends him head over heels with a headscissors takedown!

Phoenix: Austen is used to be one of the quicker competitors in the ring but tonight he's finding that to not be the case. He needs to rely on his strength advantage and not try to out-quick the South Bay Champion.

Ruby tries to whip Austen into the corner but he uses that strength advantage to send her back first into the turnbuckle! Austen rushes in and eats a boot for his troubles! Ruby quickly scales the turnbuckle and FLIES with a moonsault press that takes Austen down! She grabs his leg for a cover!

ONE

TWO

Austen kicks out!

She catches Austen as he rises up and tries again to whip him across the ring but he again reverses. She catches herself on the ropes and Austen charges into a back elbow! She grabs him around the neck and runs across the ring DROPPING him on his face with a Bulldog! She makes another quick cover!

ONE

TWO

Austen kicks out again!

Phoenix: These two are going for a lot of pinfall attempts. Clearly, they're trying to end it without having to inflict too much punishment on the other but it very well might have to come down to getting vicious.

Ruby makes her way to the top rope as Austen is a little slower getting to his feet. He stands and Ruby flies with a crossbody but Austen dives aside at the last second! Ruby crashes into the canvas and Austen jumps into action, ripping her legs back and placing a knee into her back for the Cali Check!

Phoenix: And speaking of vicious! Austen has got the Cali Check locked in and Ruby may just have to tap!

Austen wrenches back, earning a scream from Ruby that causes him to relent just a little. Ruby wiggles through that small opening provided and twists, throwing Austin over with just the strength of her legs! Ruby is slow getting to her to feet and Austen rushes to maintain his advantage. He grabs her up in a front facelock and Ruby runs him back first into the turnbuckle! Austen pushes Ruby back and she stumbles into the middle of the ring. Austen races at her and she SCORES with a roundhouse kick straight to the face that drops Austen like a ton of bricks!

Phoenix: Good God! That roundhouse smacked right off Austen's nose! He might be seeing stars after that.

Ruby covers her mouth in shock and horror as Austen grabs at his nose and writhes on the canvas. She rushes over to check on him. Satisfied with no blood pouring from his nose, Austen nods that he's good. Ruby helps him to his feet and winces apologetically as he assures her it's okay.

Phoenix: Absolutely disagree with this. Ruby should have jumped on that opportunity. If she loses her title here tonight, she'll have no one to blame but herself.

The two of them are back at that awkward moment of square one, only they're both a lot more exhausted now. They circle one another and Austen moves for the tie up, only for Ruby to boot him in the midsection! She hooks him up and leaves her feet for the Rose Thorn only for Austen to throw her off! Ruby lands on her feet and Austen is already charging in with a Sling Blade that puts the champ down! Austen rushes to the top rope and flies for the Diving Corkscrew Cutter but Ruby shoves him off!

Phoenix: The Rose Thorn and AB Cutter both avoided!

Austen stumbles forward and seems to have eyes in the back of his head as he scores with an overhead kick that catches Ruby as she advances! He jumps back into position, wrenching her legs back but she's too close to the ropes and she latches onto them, dragging herself under them before Austen gets things locked in.

Phoenix: Cali Check is avoided. Smartest thing Ruby could do right now.

The referee gets involved and Austen respectfully backs off with his hands up. Ruby pulls herself back up to her feet and she scores with another chop as Austen comes back for more. He catches her second chop attempt and sends her off into the ropes with a whip! She rebounds and slides underneath his clothesline, pops up to her feet and as soon as Austen turns around he gets all 110 lbs taking him down with a Thesz press! She hooks his legs!

ONE

TWO

Austen kicks out!

Ruby is thrown off Austen as he kicks out and she springs off the ropes, coming back to get her legs ripped out from under her! Austen looks for Cali Check again but Ruby fights and fights until Austen changes course and sends her flying with a slingshot! Ruby lands on the second turnbuckle and turns around to fly with a hurracanrana that Austen catches and DRIVES her into the canvas with a sit-out powerbomb!

ONE

TWO

Ruby kicks out!

Phoenix: What?! I thought that powerbomb was it! How in the world did Ruby kick out of that!

Austen is starting to look frustrated but keeps his head clear. He calls Ruby to her feet and he catches her up in a front facelock! Ruby twists out, catching Austen around the throat as she places a foot behind his and SLAMS him down with an STO! She falls back into the ropes, trying to shake her head clear. Austen fights up to his feet and Ruby catches him in a front facelock. She leaves her feet, swings around, and plants him with the Rose Thorn (Implant DDT)! She hesitates for only a moment before making the cover.

ONE

TWO

DING DING DING

Mackenzie: Here is your winner and STILL SOUTH BAY CHAMPION… RUBY! LANCE!

Phoenix: Ruby has done it! She has proven to herself and the world that she deserves to be the South Bay Champion!

Ruby is handed her championship and there's a moment of utter relief that falls over her face as she accepts it. Her eyes fall to Austen and she frowns before checking on him to make sure he's okay. He sits up, shaking his head as he tries to stop seeing two of everything. When he notices Ruby with the title, he's understandably disappointed but he manages a smile for his feet. Ruby offers him a hand and he accepts her help to his feet. Ruby pulls him into a hug and raises his hand afterwards. Austen smiles and raises Ruby's hand, pointing to her while encouraging her to celebrate her win.

Phoenix: A great show of respect between these two. But you have to know Austen is disappointed to be leaving her without the title tonight.

We move backstage.

Rise cuts backstage, moments before the West Coast Championship match is set to begin and interviewer Mia Bala is with Julianna DiMaria. The San Diego native draws a pretty negative reaction from the Inglewood crowd, but Julianna responds to this reaction with a smirk, indicating that she is not bothered by the crowd, or even Mia’s presence as she had been in the past.

Mia: Folks, we are moments away from our West Coast Championship match to cap off what has been one hell of a night so far. I am here with the challenger for this epic encounter, Julianna DiMaria. Now Jules, This is your third crack at Ryan Keys with the West Coast Championship on the line. As we know, the last two times didn’t go so well for you and has driven you to some episodes of anger and frustration as we have seen before. What makes you think that the third time around is going to be a charm for you?

Julianna’s smirk widens before she begins to respond.

Julianna: Basic question, but fine. I’ll roll with it since I am in such a good mood. I was hard on myself before, noting that “youth and inexperience” were holding me back. Well, I am not all that inexperienced anymore. Being involved in the AFI taught me how to compete and how to win on a big stage like I wasn’t able to before at Origins and at Hype 2. I am far more experienced now than I was the last two times that I faced Ryan on television. Ryan has become a stagnant, overconfident SOB while I have been doing anything and everything that I could to make myself better and make myself ready for this night.

Mia: Ryan spoke out recently about you and this match tonight….

Julianna rolls her eyes and sighs.

Mia: First off, he wants to know why you’re so obsessed with him.

Julianna bursts out laughing.

Julianna: PLEASE! I’m NOT obsessed with him. I’m obsessed with taking the championship from him. My attitude wouldn’t be any different if someone like Ruby or Donovan held the championship and has treated the title with the “proper care” like he has. Oh just because I speak out against him so much, I’m obsessed with him? So you call out the obvious truth about someone, and that makes you obsessed? GROW UP! Ryan, not you… It’s not my fault he hasn’t been the champion that he should have been. He’s the one that has made very little effort to represent this brand at all. I’m the one busting my ass, representing this brand in tournaments.

Mia: Fair points. He also stated that running your mouth is the only little thing that you know how to do and…

Julianna: Whoa whoa whoa, slow down! He said what? That running my mouth is the only thing I know how to do? THAT right there, Mia… THAT is EXACTLY what I am talking about when it comes to representing this brand. If Ryan Keys represented this brand so well, would he NOT be aware of what I was doing in my career? This is the same fucking asshole that had the nerve to LECTURE ME about getting to know my peers and yet, he says THAT? Has he NOT even BOTHERED to study what I’ve done? Did he NOT watch my win over Venus? Did he not watch me beat a MAIN ROSTER MEMBER in the Super Falcon Cup? Did he not watch me make the Sweet 16 in the All Female Invitational up on the main roster? NO! He DIDN’T because he never BOTHERED to keep up with what I’m doing. Arrogant and overconfident much? I’m sorry. It’s funny. It just so happens I know how to win, and win in big time matches. Tonight is going to be another instance of it.

Mia: To be fair, he did point out that he wasn’t underestimating you.

Julianna: It sure doesn’t SOUND like he isn’t. Look Mia, let me sum up Ryan Keys thoughts about me in three bullet points.

“All you do is talk, you haven’t backed it up”.

“You’re just a Twitter champion that runs your mouth.”

“You don’t learn anything”

And yet, if he actually PAID ANY ATTENTION TO ME AT ALL… he would know that I ahve done the exact OPPOSITE of those three bullet points. His thoughts about me are the same as they were the last time we fought for the title. He thinks I’m that same wrestler. Pride goes before the fall, like they say, Mia. I experienced it at Hype 2. Tonight, it’s HIS turn to experience it and it’s HIS turn to be silenced once and for all. This is MY night, PERIOD!

This interview is over! Time to finally make it happen, time to humble him and give him that reality check he has needed for so damn long now!

A very determined Julianna leaves Mia behind and Mia is at a loss for words at how the challenger managed to handle Ryan’s recent words toward her. Mia collects herself and regains her composure as the scene fades and the interview ends.

Main Event
West Coast Championsip
Ryan Keys(c) vs Julianna DiMaria

We move back into the arena as Mackenzie is ready to announce.

Mackenzie: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the West Coast Championship! First to the ring from San Diego, California… she is Julianna DiMaria!

“Boss's Daughter” hits the speakers as Julianna DiMaria appears on the stage, greeted by some boos from the fans in attendance. She ignores them and heads down to the ring with a confident, focused look on her face. Once she heads inside the ring, she cracks her knuckles, indicating she's ready to fight and afterward does the "talk to the hand" gesture toward all the fans that are booing her, displaying another touch of arrogance to get the fans against her even more.. She heads to her corner and scoffs at the reaction she's getting as the song fades and she waits for what's coming next.

Mackenzie: And making his way to the ring from Las Vegas, Nevada, he is the West Coast Champion… he is Ryan Keys!

"I'm Made of Wax,Larry,What Are You Made Of?"by A Day to Remember plays while blue and white lights strobe over the stage. As Ryan’s entrance video is shown in the titantron the man himself walks out to take center stage. With a bright smile playing on his lips he does a confident pose before slowly making his way down the ramp.

Slapping the hands of the fans to his side he jogs closer to the ring until he slides in through the bottom ropes. As he makes way up the corner ring post he stops and looks around to hear the cheers of the crowd as he teases them with tearing off his shirt and tossing it to the side. Showing the same confident pose as before he hops down and extends his leg over the ring post to stretch them out and show his flexibility before the match starts.

The referee holds the title up into the air as he calls for the bell.

DING DING DING

Phoenix: And here we go. DiMaria has done plenty to call Keys out on social media. She had make it clear that he does not represent the company, and lately it seems like others agree with her stance on the issue.

The match begins as Julianna does not hesitate and begins the match with a shotgun dropkick that sends Keys falling onto his backside, up against the ropes. He reaches back up for the ropes and pulls himself up. Grabbing the head of the champ, DiMaria uses a swinging neckbreaker to take him back down. A quick cover.

ONE

And only a one counter by the number one contender. Julianna rolls him to his stomach, and quickly locks in a Camel Clutch.

Phoenix: Early submission attempt!

Ryan reaches forward for the ropes, stretching himself out. Julianna pulls back hard trying to not allow him to reach the ropes, but Keys is able to extend enough to just reach them. The referee begins a five count.

ONE

TWO

THREE

FOUR

And she releases the hold as the fans boo her. She brushes them off and sends a stomp to the back of Ryan. And a second. And a third. The referee finally backs her off as Ryan slowly pulls himself up to a vertical base. He looks back and Julianna charges him; he uses a reverse kick and catches her off guard in the stomach. Turning around, he executes a Sitout Jawbreaker that causes her to snap back onto the mat.

Phoenix: And we are seeing a momentum swing here!

He quickly covers.

ONE

T--

And Julianna is able to kickout. Ryan grabs her arm for a submission, but she is able to throw a few elbows to put the champion on the defense. He rolls away and back up to his feet. As Julianna rolls up to a knee, Ryan charges in with a running knee as it smashes into the side of her head. DiMaria hits the mat as Ryan makes another cover.

ONE

TWO

And Julianna manages to power out of it.

Phoenix: There is no love between the two of these competitors.

Ryan raises up to his feet as he lifts her up as well. Wrapping his arms around her, he looks for Lockdown (Northern Lights Suplex) but she gets a few more elbows in and stops it. She rolls behind him and uses a chop block to bring Keys down to one knee. A running bulldog and she plants his face on the mat. Julianna rolls him over and hooks a leg.

ONE

TW-

And a kickout.

Phoenix: It is going to take a lot more than this. But they are both wearing each other down.

She raises up to her feet as she lifts Ryan up, hitting a Forward Russian Legsweep, she makes another cover.

ONE

TWO

T----

And Keys powers out of it. DiMaria pounds her fists on the mat, unhappy with the count. She begins to argue with the referee, as it gives Ryan a chance to get a breather. She argues, as the ref vehemently argues that his count was not slow. As she finally stops, she turns around as Ryan Keys charges her and hits Master Key (Single knee facebuster) as she snaps back to the mat. Ryan hesitates for a split second as he makes the cover.

ONE

TWO

THRE- NO!

Phoenix: Julianna kicks out!

Ryan looks up to the referee and holds up three fingers. The referee assures him that it was a two count. Ryan is beside himself as he decides to hook both of her legs for another pin attempt.

ONE

TWO

And the time has given her enough to power out of it. Ryan shakes his head.

Phoenix: Wow.. perhaps that slight hesitation was due to her early attacks to the upper back. It could have cost him.

Keys grabs her arm and again looks for a submission, but Julianna manages to somehow rolls Ryan over and holds him down.

ONE

TWO

THR-- NO!

Phoenix: Wow! This has been a night chock full of close calls!

Keys tumbles back up to his feet as Julianna uses the ropes to try and pull herself up. She sees Ryan charging her as the pulls down the top rope, Ryan goes up and over tumbling hard to the outside. He hits the floor hard on the outside. The referee begins a ten count.

ONE

TWO

THREE

FOUR

Phoenix: DiMaria cannot win the title on a count out!

FIVE

SIX

Julianna rolls outside of the ring which restarts the count. She heads right for Ryan.

ONE

TWO

THREE

Julianna grabs him by the head and picks him up. She yells something into his face. She tries for an Irish Whip as he reverses it. Her back hits the side of the ring as she grimaces in pain. Charging at her, Keys hits a hip check, causing more pain to her back.

FOUR

FIVE

Ryan grabs her head and tosses her back into the ring. He rolls in after her. Finally wearing her down enough, he grabs her arm and yanks her down to the mat, flipping over her for Key Ring (Birding Fujiwara Armbar). Julianna screams out in pain, as she looks up towards the ropes.

Phoenix: This might be over!

Julianna struggles as the referee moves around trying to get in a position to make sure that her legs are not on the ropes. She pulls and scratches towards the ropes, finally wiggling her way to reach the ropes with her free hand.

Phoenix: Wow! She got out of it… but how much damage has been done?

Keys looks to be pouring sweat. She holds her arm in pain. Keys heads up to his feet as he lifts her up. Whipping Julianna into the ropes, she returns as he looks for a clothesline. She kicks the arm away as he snatches his arm. She grabs a hold of the arm and yanks him down to the mat.

Phoenix: No! She isn’t-

But she does. She flips over him and uses Mercedes Bends, her own version of the same bridging fujiwara armbar that Keys has her locks in minutes ago. Except that he is dead middle of the ring.

Phoenix: DiMaria has it in!

Julianna pulls on his arm hard as Keys scratches and crawls for the ropes. He pulls, but she puts pressure more and more on the arm. Keys fights through it… but after some time… the pain is far too much and Keys forces to tap.

DING DING DING

Julianna continues to hold the arm as the referee tries to pry her off. Finally he does as Keys holds his arm and shoulder, gravely in pain.

Phoenix: She did it. She did what she said she would. We have a new West Coast Champion!

Her music plays as the referee hands her the title.

Mackenzie: Your winner and new West Coast Champion..... She is Julianna DiMaria!

She holds up the title much to the boos of the fans. She leans over the top rope, but as she looks up the ramp, a large man stands and claps his hands.

Phoenix: That is the next number one contender in line… Donovan Basch! She won the title seconds ago, and already he is making his presence felt. Thank you all for joining in. We will see you in two weeks for the first ever episode of Unscripted.
