wrote:
[align=center]The match started off with Seth Lawless and Joey Barber in the ring. The two went back and forth before Seth took the upperhand and then began to taunt Jakob. Jakob tried to get in the ring but the referee stopped him. Seth and Warren then double teamed Joey together. Warren then slid out of the ring and he took Jakob off of the apron, cutting off his legs and causing his face to slam on it. Warren dominated Alexander on the outside while inside of the ring, Seth was busy having his way with Barber, Eventually Barber leaped up in the air and went for a hurricanrana but Lawless countered it into Detroit Is Burning (powerbomb). Seth covered Warren for the three count and picking up the easy win for his team.

WINNERS: #TheSociety @ 5:23

Seth and Warren continue to beat down Barber and Alexander, clearly showing a message of #TheSociety’s power before the referee gets them to stop.[/align]

[align=center]RINGSIDE SEGMENT[/align]

“Choke” by Bowling For Soup starts playing and Brendan Callaghan, Felix Vialpando and Scarlett Highland make their way to the ring. Jeers from the crowd mostly fill the arena, prompting the three of them to react in mild disbelief at the hostility. Brendan retrieves a microphone from the announcers table before joining the rest inside the ring.

Brendan Callaghan: Whoa, what’s with the negativity around here?

The fans boo louder, some even do it gleefully so. Brendan walks over to Scarlett and points at her.

Brendan Callaghan: It’s her, isn’t it?

His face breaks into a grin as Scarlett points her cheerleading pom poms at him and shouts something that the microphone can’t pick up. This prompts Scarlett to step in closer and lean into the mic.

Scarlett Highland: Umm no, it isn’t me. Clearly they’re booing the person with the least success in this ring and that would be….

Scarlett points the pom poms at Brendan.

Scarlett Highland: YOU, little Callaghan.

Brendan makes a face, looking like he might retort. But he just looks away to the crowd and steps in front of her, purposely and completely blocking her so the camera focuses on him instead. He chuckles.

Brendan Callaghan: Nah. They’re booing because of… The System! Yes, so much negativity! No fear, that’s why the three of us are here! We stand before all of you now to protest the very group of people back there who keep hindering us. Every time we get close to a win, they completely rip it off from us. You don’t even have to look too far back. At Battle Symphony, my own father denied me my victory and for Felix here, him beating Zeke eventually meant nothing and he has to start all over again.

He looks at the fans who suddenly seem to have mixed feelings about his words and sighs before passing the microphone to Felix.

Brendan Callaghan: Tell ‘em, bro.

Scarlett steps in front of Brendan and shakes the pom poms at Felix, trying to get the crowd excited. Brendan shakes his head at Scarlett but still looks amused.

Scarlett Highland: Gooooo Felix!

Felix looks around to the crowd, who instead of cheering as Scarlett was trying to get them to, boos.

Felix Vialpando: I bet you people don’t even have a GED you middle school toilet paper flush wipes!

Boos. Brendan bursts out laughing at the comment and points at Scarlett, mouthing, “that’s you”. She just rolls her eyes.

Felix Vialpando: Shut up and listen! You dumb dumb lollipops might actually learn something tonight!

More boos.

Felix Vialpando: You heard Brendan. At Battle Symphony his father not only screwed us...He FUCKED us over! And darn it I don’t appreciate it one bit!

Felix adjusts his SAP North Atlantic Championship belts on his shoulders then looks down to the True LPW Gotham Championship around his waist with a smirk on his face. The small smirk fades as he looks back to the crowd.

Felix Vialpando: How can he do this to us, huh?! HUH?! I beat Zeke fair and square?! I should be the number one contender for the Liberty Championship! I should be the one next in line to face the gift wrapped champion bitch Melissa Reeves! But noooooooooooo. I have to do the same ol’ dance with Zeke. I have to prove myself AGAIN after I kicked his unworthy ass!

He shakes his head and slaps the custom made True Gotham Championship belt’s plate.

Felix Vialpando: I’m the freaking True Gotham Champion damnit?!

Felix turns to Brendan and places his hand on his shoulder.

Felix Vialpando: This is your freaking son?! How dare you do this to us?! If it wasn’t for guys like us this place would be a freaking dumpster dive?! Hell if that’s what you’re striving for Nathan, you got yourself a Liberty Champion that’ll surely step you into the right direction of one!

He grunts while Brendan nods in agreement with a smug look on his face.

Felix Vialpando: There needs to be a change around here. This...This corrupt system. This system that awards the unworthy! The system who shuns the ones who actually deserve every bit of credit where it is due!

The crowd boos him. Vialpando shakes his head and points out to the crowd.

Felix Vialpando: You people can boo all you freaking want, you know every bit of what we’re saying is true!?!

Brendan sighs, his face looking a little more serious than usual.

Brendan Callaghan: It’s alright, man. They’ll come around. It’s a lot to take in. Eventually they’ll understand that this protest? It needed to be done. They need to know, the Brooklyn Screwjob incident! Never forget! Fuck The Society, we’re the ones who are actually facing the injustices around here.

Ignoring the jeers, he glances over at Scarlett. A smirk tugs at the corner of his lips as if trying to bait her.

Brendan Callaghan: So, uh, what do you have to say about The System, huh, Scarlett?

Scarlett smiles.

Scarlett Highland: It’s FINALLY my turn? I was supposed to be the cheerleader for this little protest, but instead, I’m choosing to be the voice of reason. People in the back that control the lights, you know what to do!

The lights darken as all attention is drawn to the big screen which flashes the bubbly pink lettered logo reading ‘A Day In The Life Of: Scarlett Highland’ before the lights come back on. Scarlett tosses her pom poms out of the ring and has snatched the microphone from Brendan. He purses his lips as he relents, taking a big step back to let her take the floor.

Scarlett Highland: In today’s LIVE edition of A Day In The Life of Scarlett Highland, I will teach everyone the PROPER way to fight The System. First, if the system in this case is Nathan Callaghan who I affectionately known as Big Callaghan, make friends with him, not enemies.

Behind Scarlett, Brendan pretends to dry heave before chuckling to himself.

Scarlett Highland: Brendan is here crying about not getting attention when just like a month ago he was beating his dad up in the ring. Total fail, Bren-Bren.

She glances over at Brendan who now looks completely offended and rolls her eyes.

Scarlett Highland: And Felix, can you stop shouting so much? O-M-G my ears are almost bleeding! The proper way for YOU to fight The System, is to keep quiet, literally...and keep winning matches. As for me? Well, I fought the System by fighting a GRUELING gauntlet match, in which I overcame all of the odds and walked out the first EVER Trials champion! Give it up for me, would you?

The fans boo as Scarlett’s mouth drops in shock. Brendan looks from her to the fans and back again, his mouth in an ‘O’ shape and his eyes wide open in mock surprise and total amusement.

Scarlett Highland: It’s okay for you to boo them, but you can’t boo me! Nathan won’t like that!

Scarlett stomps on the mat and then decides to talk over the jeering.

Scarlett Highland: The way to fight The System like Scarlett Highland is...to be a winner, and to win championship gold! I COULD have brought it out here, but you will only see the Trials championship when I want you to see it since it’s mine, and right now, I had to bring those pom poms so my title is in the back. But you two…

She looks at Brendan and Felix one at a time before looking directly ahead of her again. Brendan rolls his eyes before signalling to the crowd with a finger to his lips as he sneaks away and out of the ring.

Scarlett Highland: Should be ashamed of yourselves. In a way, I think YOU are accusing ME of being with The System! The System isn’t even that bad, you guys just whine and complain too much like…

Scarlett stops talking as she suddenly gets soaked with water shooting from behind her. When she turns around, Brendan is holding a water gun and starts blasting more water in her face. The crowd is hyped up at this point, simply entertained by Brendan just shooting more water and Scarlett screaming. Brendan laughs and easily sidesteps as Scarlett lunges towards him. Brendan blasts the last of the water in the super soaker toy at her before escaping the ring, along with Felix. Brendan snatches up the pom poms that Scarlett had tossed out earlier and throws them at her. As the pair walk up the ramp, Brendan shouts at Scarlett who’s still inside the ring, slipping and sliding on the wet mat.

Brendan Callaghan: Thanks for the views, Scarlett! How’s that for a LIVE STREAM huh?!

Felix Vialpando: AND TAKE NOTES?!

Brendan laughs again so hard that he’s practically doubling over with glee, holding onto Felix for balance. The camera shows Scarlett trying to pull herself up before the scene cuts away.

[align=center]MATCH ONE: SPECIAL ATTRACTION
Adam Webb vs. Ashleigh Powell[/align]
wrote:
[align=center]The ring bell sounds and Adam Webb makes his way to the center of the ring, he extends his hand out to Powell, who looks at it and Webb for a moment. She then shakes his hand and the two start to circle up in the middle of the ring. Webb is able to shoot at the legs of Powell and upends her, he then locks in a side headlock to keep Powell down. But she is able to work her way up again and push Webb into the ropes. He rebounds back and leapfrogs Powell, hits the ropes again and baseball slides between Powell’s legs. Webb grabs her legs from behind and drops her to her knees. Webb then connects with a superkick to the downed Powell and makes the cover.

Ashleigh Powell though kicks out at two. Webb pulls Powell back up and sends her over with a suplex, he holds onto Ashleigh and hits a second suplex. Webb pulls her back up and goes for a third but Powell connects with a knee to the midsection of Webb, spins around him and sends Webb over with a German suplex. Both competitors are laid out on the canvas for a moment as Webb slowly gets to his hands and knees. Ashleigh suddenly pops up up and hits a snap DDT on the crouched Webb. Powell makes the cover but Webb just kicks out before the three.

Ashleigh slowly gets back to her feet and pulls Webb up with her. Powell lifts Webb up with a back body drop, leaving him laid flat. She then locks him into a figure four leg lock and starts to apply pressure against Webb’s knee. Webb fights and wiggles in the hold, pain very visible on his face as tries to find a way out of the hold. Powell keeps it locked in, pulling back to out the most force possible. Webb yells out a few times before falling back on the canvas. The official starts to count the pin but Adam gets up before three. Webb falls back against the mat once more, the official starts to count and he fights up just before the three. Webb pulls at his hair for a moment before finally trying to roll the hold over, using everything he has to reverse the hold. Webb uses one last gasp and flips the hold, applying the pressure to Powell’s leg now. She lets go of the hold and staggers to her feet as Adam holds his knee on the canvas.

Powell works her way over to Webb and goes to pull him to his feet but Adam hooks her in a small package but Powell just kicks out at two! Powell has a shocked look for a moment but pulls Webb up and sets up for a piledriver. She lifts hit up but Webb kicks his heel back, connecting to the face of Powell causing her to stagger back. Webb gets to his feet and connects with his Punch Line roaring elbow that drops Powell to a knee. Webb half limps to the ropes, comes back for a seated dropkick but Powell is able to catch his legs and work him into a sharpshooter. Webb fights the hold but is stuck in the middle of the ring and is forced to tap out to the hold.

WINNER: Ashleigh Powell @ 17:37

Ashleigh Powell let’s go of the hold and raises her hands for the hard fought win. Adam Webb grips his knee for a moment before fighting back to his feet. Adam holds the ropes to stay up as Powell comes up and offers her hand. Adam shakes it as the two share a quick hug as a sign of sportsmanship.[/align]

[align=center]BACKSTAGE[/align]

Backstage Carina Eventide is dancing around listening to music on her headphones, as she’s approached by the camera crew. She seems surprised by their presence, but still she smiles and asks them if they want her to speak or say something. Ultimately she agrees to say something and she starts by apologizing for the time she was away, she states that things happen in life that one must step away from what one loves in order to regain focus.

After that she states that she painted her first masterpiece by virtue of being the first ever Anarchy Champion in Liberty’s history… and that that's a fact no one can take away from her. She states that she practically gifted the division to the fans and that she showed the world Liberty has the potential of going hardcore as the people in New York usually go. Because, after all, Liberty IS the Tri-State area.

That last bit makes her take her headphones off and state that that's why tonight, when she faces Maddux Kingcade in both of their returns to the ring… it would be the first brush of her new masterpiece. Because win or lose, Liberty will once again bear witness to… the Morningstar.

After that Carina puts her headphones back on and goes away happily jumping.

[align=center]BACKSTAGE[/align]

The scene cuts to the back where Maddux Kingcade is standing by, already dressed to compete, a big smile is on his face as he sees the cameras.

Maddux Kingcade: So, the big thing that people have been asking me since I have signed with Liberty Pro is why… Why am I getting back into the ring and testing myself against some of the top names in the business? Why give up a high paying, high profile job as the General Manager of Vengeance Pro? Why put my legacy as the longest reigning Spotlight Champion in jeopardy? The answers to those questions are actually really simple to give to you all..

Maddux eyes up the camera and gives a slightly sinister smirk.

Maddux Kingcade: I saw all these whiny little babies that would rather bitch and complain on Twitter rather than step up and get shit done in the ring. I stood back watching these divas claim to be god's gift to wrestling but never showing that they really are worth the ink and paper their contracts are made out of. Do you know how frustrating that can be? Even more to a man of my stature? I’m a former Olympian, former record breaking champion and a kind of competitor that would rather make my worth known in the ring than out of it.

He shrugs his shoulders and nods his head slightly.

Maddux Kingcade: So returning to the ring for me was a no brainer. I still spent six days a week in the gym, training and working with younger talents. I just don’t have the wear and tear that most of you all have now. So think of that will you Carina Eventide… I have the wealth of experience on my resume and I’m in top of the line conditioning. So don’t act surprised when I come out there and take the fight right to you… One suplex after another.

Maddux flashes one more smiles at the camera before walking off with an echoing laugh following him.

[align=center]BACKSTAGE[/align]

We cut to the back where Adam Webb is in his locker room. He is still sweaty from his battle with Ashleigh Powell and has his pant leg rolled up with a big ice bag wrapped to his knee. He sees the camera and offers up a small smile.

Adam Webb: Well… That didn’t go the way I hoped it would. I went out there, I gave it my best and that’s all I could do. I guess maybe next time around, I shouldn’t take on two matches, in two nights, against two champions… That both can tear up a knee!

Webb can help but laugh for a moment as he pats the ice pack on his knee.

Adam Webb: I wanna thank Ashleigh Powell for such a great match and allowing me to come here and challenge her. I will say this that anytime Liberty Pro would have me, I’d love to compete here again. The fans, the whole environment is amazing. I will tell you all this that, this isn’t the last you will see Adam Webb trying his best against some of the top names in the entire CWC! You can trust that!

He gives a slightly bigger smile now and even a playful wink to the camera before it cuts away.

[align=center]MATCH TWO: SINGLES MATCH
Maddux Kingcade vs. Carina Eventide[/align]
wrote:
[align=center]At the sound is the bell, Maddux shows his aggression by charging across the ring and starting in with hard elbow shots to the side of Carina’s head. Maddux pulls her out of the corner a step and tosses her with an overhead belly to belly suplex. Maddux keeps the pressure pulling Carina back up and tosses her once more, this time with an exploder suplex. Kingcade gets overly excited and starts to play up to the crowd, that allows Eventide to get to her feet and superkick him right as he turns around. She starts to stomp away on the downed Kingcade, not allowing him a moment to breathe.

Carina locks her legs around Maddux’s neck, twisting and torquing it as she tries to squeeze. Maddux tries to roll free but Carina manages to keep the hold tight on Maddux. Kingcade rolls her onto her back for a pin but Carina blasts him with a big right jab. Maddux has to roll and hook his foot on the ropes to break the hold. The official checks on Maddux as Carina smirks at the fans. As soon as Maddux turns to face her, she goes for her silver mist, but Maddux ducks just out of the mist. She turns and Maddux is able to connect with his FYG Roaring Elbow that sends a crack echoing through the arena. He makes the cover and gets the three.


WINNER: Maddux Kingcade @ 8;55

Maddux has his hand raised in victory as Carina looks up in disappointment. She exits the ring and shakes her head as Maddux continues to celebrate his debut win while in the ring.[/align]

[align=center]BACKSTAGE[/align]

Coral Azul: Manhattan New York…

Nami Azul: If we were standing in front of a crowd instead of back here getting ready to face those pair of Barneys…

The pair giggle as Coral helps Nami adjust her ring gear, and Nami keeps talking.

Nami Azul: I mean we’re not above going out there and delivering a few kickflips like we were riding the most tasty of waves, of course. But I’m thinking, Coral don’t you agree? I’m thinking that we’re going to have a whole lot of fun with Izzi Grimes and Cami McGatha.

Coral grins as she straightens up before turning this way and that to check out her own ring gear to make sure it’s just covering what it’s supposed to.

Coral Azul: Well we’re going to have a whole lot of fun. Not so sure about Izzy and Cami though, but I bet you those fans are going to be cheering a lot of what goes on, and who can blame them, I mean you’ve seen us right?

They laugh breezily as they move out of the dressing room.

Nami Azul: But there’s so much more to see this show, I think we should hang out closer to the ring so we can really soak in the atmosphere. I’m really interested in seeing what happens in the Tag Team Championship match.

Coral Azul: Team Snapback versus The Brady Bros… I mean they’re no Bristow & Barnes or Fabulous Baker Boys, but they’re not half bad.

Nami’s brows draw in and she looks a tiny bit worried.

Nami Azul: Not half bad? Not half bad?! That means that they could be half good! We can’t be having that. We should do something about that, soon.

Coral grins as she links her arm with her sister’s.

Coral Azul: Yes, yes we should.

They laugh uproariously before they head out towards the ringside area.

[align=center]MATCH THREE: TAG TEAM MATCH
The Girls of Summer vs. Izzi Grimes & Cami McGatha[/align]
wrote:
[align=center]Coral and Cami start off the match with Cami gaining the upper hand from a lock up the girls go back and forth with a few blows and Cami seems to set the pace as she whips Coral off the ropes, only to be met with a rake to the eyes which stops her in her tracks. Coral is warned and she backs off until the pair lockup again, once again Cami gets the upper hand and grabs Coral at the wrist, setting her into an armbar that she twists up her back, Cami reaches out and tags in her partner, maintaining the hold, but Izzi refuses to capitalize and insists that Cami release her and get out of the ring. Coral uses the time to regain some momentum and throws an elbow back connecting with Izzi’s jaw.

Izzi stumbles back and finds herself sprung off the ropes and into a big kick from Coral who lays her out, Coral then tags in her partner who climbs the turnbuckle going for a frog splash but Izzi is able to roll out of the way and up onto her knees, ever the sportswoman she backs up and allows Nami time to catch her breath, much to the clear annoyance of Cami who yells at her to get back into it. Once to her feet Izzi charges Nami with a drop shoulder to her gut. As she goes to springboard Nami over that same shoulder, Nami hooks her hips and brings her down for a two count.

Nami then tags in Cora, who immediately darts across the ring and knocks Cami off the apron with a hard elbow to the jaw, as she turns back the pair nail Izzi with their Sandy Cheeks finisher and Coral drops to make the pin, Nami sliding out of the ring with a boot to the face of Cami, keeping her from breaking up the pin.


WINNERS: Girls of Summer @ 8:30

Coral and Nami celebrate their victory as Izzi and Cami look at each other, clearly frustrated with one another.[/align]

[align=center]BACKSTAGE[/align]

Some time after Seth and Warren’s big win earlier in the night, Seth made it back to his locker room and he shook his head as he sat on the bench.

Seth Lawless: I need more but how the hell am I going to get it.

Becky Balfour-Lawless: By taking it.

The former Liberty champion walked into the shot, behind Lawless. Her hands moved to his shoulders as she began massaging her fingertips into his skin.

Becky Balfour-Lawless: Do you know who we are to them now? We are the forgotten. I’m a former Liberty champion, but they don’t remember. You? You beat me when nobody else could, but they don’t care. Warren was Anarchy champion, Elodie and Havyn? They are two of the most passionate people I’ve ever met, but the Liberty fans? They don’t...give...a fuck.

Balfour-Lawless continued massaging the shoulders of her husband.

Becky Balfour-Lawless: Do you know what I say? I say we forget them. They can ignore us, they can forget us, but Liberty was built on our blood, and our sweat. I’m not wrestling tonight, or until I choose to, until we get those Trios title shots that we were promised. All it is from Callaghan right now is talk, I think we show them that we’re about action. I’m not wrestling. As for you? You’re your own man, Seth. How are YOU going to address the way WE have been treated?
Seth leaned back into his wife and took a deep breath. He closed his eyes and then bit his bottom lip.

Seth Lawless That’s the problem Beck. I’ve always been the one that has been forgotten here. It’s not that big of a deal but honestly I want more. I know we are promised a trios shot but do you think we will actually get it?

Becky Balfour-Lawless: I know we will. Because if we don’t? We’re going to tear Liberty up from the inside out. On our terms, when we choose to. As for you…

Becky made her way around the bench and kneeled on the ground in front of Lawless who now looked down at her.

Becky Balfour-Lawless: You have to be the strong man that I know you are. You’re letting everyone get in your head. From Twitter, to the fans, to your own doubts...YOU are SETH LAWLESS, the strongest man I know, because if you weren’t, I wouldn’t have married you.

Becky paused.

Becky Balfour-Lawless: Make your move...take your stand, but make it a damn good one and stop talking about feeling slighted. We’re all on the same playing field, every single member of our family, got it?

Seth sat there, stone faced, without a reply for Becky.

Becky Balfour: I said, do you understand!?

Becky stood up and went to slap Seth but he grabbed her wrist and threw her into the lockers he snarled as he was behind her. He put his lips up to her ear.

Seth Lawless: Are you seriously fucking questioning me Becky? You know what I can do.Becky laughed as her face was against the cold locker.

Becky Balfour-Lawless: It’s about fucking time you showed some passion.

Seth turned Becky around and looked at the sinister smirk on the face of his wife.

Becky Balfour-Lawless: If you fight THEM, with the same passion you just showed me? Not only will we get those Trios title shots, but you will be the reason we walk away with the gold around our waists. YOU will be the key to everyone remembering who we are. YOU Seth...YOU are us. WE are you...WE are one...do you get it now?

Seth let go of his wife and threw her back into the lockers.

Seth Lawless: Sick way of trying to get me to show passion Becky.

He shook his head as he ripped at the sleeve of her shirt.

Seth Lawless: Never question me again.

He kissed the top of her forehead as he started to walk away but as he got to the door, he ran into a wall of five Followers who saw how he treated Becky. They stood between him and the door. Becky saw what was going on and looked at Seth and then The Followers.
Becky Balfour-Lawless: They don’t just do what I say, Seth. They Follow all of us.

Seth looked at the followers and laughed.

Seth Lawless: She wanted passion and I showed it to her. You don’t need to question what I did. What I need you to do though is stand by this door and make sure no gets close to it. I need to give something to my wife.

Seth closed the door and walked towards Becky.

Becky Balfour-Lawless: Telling me and The Followers what’s going to happen? Something has changed in you...and I love it.

Becky smiled again and placed both hands on his chest.

Becky Balfour-Lawless: Now, what is it that you have to give me?

Seth grabbed her hand and took her to the shower stall he looked back at the camera and shooed them away.

Seth Lawless: We will be needing privacy please…

The cameras moved on to their next shot.

[align=center]BACKSTAGE[/align]

As they come through the curtain. Cami is clearly upset by the outcome of the match, meanwhile Izzi is trying to calm her partner down. Holding her hands up.

Izzi Grimes: I know it didn’t go quite how you wanted Cam but..

Cami McGatha: What is wrong with you?! It’s like you never wrestled before! It’s not cheating to use the team count Izzi!

Izzi Grimes: Well, it doesn’t seem very nice to do that either Cami and-

Once again Cami interrupts her partner. This time a growl preceded her words.

Cami McGatha: NICE?? Do you think those girls cared about being nice? Of course not and now they’re winners and we are losers, I am a former tag champion Izzi! I don’t lose to nobodies rolling in off the street.

Izzi Grimes: Those girls were super talented Cami and we did our best! Isn’t that what’s most important?

Cami turns and stares at Izzi for a long moment before huffing and storming off.

[align=center]MATCH FOUR: TRIALS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Scarlett Highland vs. Isla Carter[/align]
wrote:
[align=center]The beginning of the match between Scarlett Highland and Isla Carter spills out to the floor. Carter takes control, hitting a plancha from the apron. Isla throws Scarlett back into the ring before getting in herself. Carter picks up Highland and goes for a DDT but Highland breaks free and knees Isla in the gut before dropping her with as snap suplex. Carter gets up and tries to go for a spin kick but Scarlett blocks it and goes for a rollup pin while holding onto Carter’s tights. She gets a two count before Isla Carter kicks out. Both women get up and Carter finally starts fighting back, sending Scarlett to the mat.

Isla goes to the ropes and hits a springboard moonsault. The crowd goes wild as Carter gets a pin. She gets the two count before Scarlett kicks out. Isla picks Scarlett up but Scarlett shoves her off. Isla charges Highland but Highland drops her with a clothesline. Scarlett goes for a diving double knee only to miss as Carter rolls out of the way. Highland gets up and Isla goes for a springboard axe kick but Scarlett moves out of the way. Isla turns around and is met by a brutal superkick from Scarlett. Scarlett backs up until she is in the corner and waits for Carter to get up.

Isla Carter gets up to her feet and she runs at Highland but Scarlett kicks her legs up, wrapping one on each side of the Isla’s head and then hits a hurricanrana out of the corner, sending the Carter face first into the middle turnbuckle and nailing her finishing maneuver, That Will Leave A Scar. Scarlett pins Isla and picks up the three count and she successfully defends her Trials Championship.

WINNER and STILL TRIALS CHAMPION: Scarlett Highland @ 6:35

Scarlett is handed her Trials Championship, which she holds up in the air in victory with a grin on her face. Scarlett then holds the belt over Isla and trash talks her, causing Isla to shove Scarlett back. Scarlett looks quite offended before she slams the belt straight into Isla’s face, knocking her out. Scarlett holds the belt over Isla once again with a giant smile on her face. [/align]

[align=center]BACKSTAGE[/align]

Felix Vialpando scours throughout the backstage area, checking over his notepad with an amused expression. His Anarchy Championship match is not too far away, and he’s making sure that he’s ready for whatever Vitor Mata can throw at him. His attention being distracted leads to him rounding the corner and nearly running into someone. It’s at the last moment that he snaps out of his fixation and rises his head. The camera follows suit, panning over to reveal Zeke Reed, standing in front of him. Felix takes a step back, remembering what Reed told him on Twitter the other day. Zeke narrows his eyes at Felix, and encroaches on him, but he doesn’t seem fired up and ready to throw a punch. Felix then calms down, dragging his thumb under his nose for a moment. Furthermore, he puts his notepad away, examining Zeke with an incredulous look.

Zeke Reed: I see that you thought twice about trying to square up right then. That’s good; that means you’re smarter than I thought you were. You’re an intelligent man, Felix, but you don’t have awareness. That, unfortunately, is why we’re here right now. Neither of us are the number one contenders, and I’ve come to terms with me having to wait for my shot. That’s because the time until then has been allocated for one thing and one thing only.

A beat falls as Zeke makes sure that Felix hears him loud and clear.

Zeke Reed: I told you that you were going to have to face the consequences.

Felix scoffs at this and shakes his head.

Felix Vialpando: Only reason neither of us is the number one contender is because I got cheated out of being it after beating you fair and square. I shouldn’t have to deal with you anymore. I got my payback. I aced my retest. I should be moving on to better things which…

He smirks and shrugs his shoulders.

Felix Vialpando: ...I am, considering I’ll be walking out of here the True LPW Gotham Champion y new LPW Anarchy Champion. I guess some things are on the rise but yet y still not really on the up y up. Got a gift wrapped champion who's basically getting handed these sort of things for God knows what reason. Y we have an owner who likes to screw over his talent, including his very own flesh y blood. What a time we live in, right Zeke?

Zeke’s expression sours as he takes a step forward, making sure the gap is properly closed between them.

Zeke Reed: Yeah, we are in an interesting time. But you’re in for a rough time, because I’m here to tell you good luck and one other thing.

Zeke points directly at Felix, making sure to emphasize the point.

Zeke Reed: Next time I see you, I’m beating your ass. You think we’re done here. You cheated me and you’re going to have to get this clean work, my friend. If it’s for the Anarchy Championship, so be it. If it’s for the chance to fight Melissa again, so be it. Knowing that our GM might not give us that rematch, I’m going to convince by making sure he sees me beating your ass on sight.

Felix looked to be baffled by the seriousness in Zeke’s voice. He starts to take a step back but stops himself wanting to hold his ground.

Felix Vialpando: Try your best you daffodil prick! You know what you need to start doing Zeke? You need to start taking some serious notes big guy because your little pesky threats mean nothing to me! I beat you! I’m better than you! If I have to defend MY Anarchy Championship after I wipe the floor with that piece of candy wrapper paper Mata, I will! I’ll kick your ass then go right ahead and kick that blue waffled cunt’s ass right after and become the LPW Liberty Champion this place truly deserves!

Vialpando nods to himself in confidence. He stars back at Reed not wanting to break eye contact.

Felix Vialpando: I don’t need your ‘good luck’. I don’t need your pat on the back of ounce of support. All I need is mi notes. And I have the notes, the skill and the ability to beat each y every person set before me. You’re looking at a prodigy in this business, Reed. That’s something you can’t even say when you look in the damn mirror. But me? Ja! I sure as hell can. Why don’t you do yourself a favor, Zeke.

Felix smiles.

Felix Vialpando: Watch me become the LPW Anarchy Champion. Watch me make history yet again. Make sure you got something to write with because you’re gonna need the notes. You’re gonna need to study up more for the final test between us two. I already know what your grade will end up being but I’m trying to be nice and give you a chance to improve your grade.

[align=center]MATCH FIVE: HANDICAPPED MATCH
Coda vs. Elodie & Havyn Black[/align]
wrote:
[align=center]Before Elodie and Havyn can make it to the ring, Coda comes charging from the back and she drives a chair into Havyn’s back before doing the same to Elodie. Coda slams the chair over Havyn over and over again until it’s bent in half. Coda drops the chair and picks Elodie up and drags her to the ring. Coda throws Elodie into the ring and glares at the referee, silently telling him to start the match. The bell rings and Coda stalks over Elodie. Elodie gets up and Coda decimates her with Rhapsody (half nelson choke backstabber combination). Elodie doesn’t even have the power to tap out as she soon faints and the referee calls for the bell.


WINNER: Coda @ 2:46

The referee raises Coda’s hand in victory and she has a blank stare on her face. Soon Warren Corbett runs down the ramp and Coda is waiting for him. He slides in and the two battle back and forth before Vitor Mata comes out as well. Vitor takes Coda out with Pantera Negra (Rainmaker clothesline). Before Vitor can do anything to Warren, Warren takes him out with The Dane Axe (Spinning, High Impact Spinebuster). Warren stands tall over his two rivals as he raises his hands in the air with Elodie and Havyn soon joining his side. The three Society members beat down Coda and Vitor some more before exiting the ring and heading up the ramp. Elodie and Havyn move gingerly as Warren smirks as he looks at the carnage.[/align]

[align=center]RINGSIDE SEGMENT[/align]

Killswitch Engage’s “No End in Sight” plays and out walks the Liberty Champion herself, Melissa Reeves. She is wearing the title on her shoulder but soon holds it up in both hands for all to see. The crowd react positively, cheering for her as she makes her way - stopping to take a few pictures and touch the outstretched hands.

She rolls into the ring and stands in the dead center, alone. As the noise dies down, she holds the microphone up, but the fans cheer again. She waits patiently as they eventually hush for her.

Melissa: Three weeks ago, I stepped foot into an absolutely hellacious match. A full 45 minutes, Melissa Reeves vs Becky Balfour, this Liberty Championship on the line.

She raises the title for all to see.

Melissa: If the result isn’t obvious for all to see, if you somehow missed out on watching that fantastic event, then let me fill you in...I emerged victorious.

She lowers the title again, smiling as the fans cheer for her.

Melissa: That match was proof, definitive proof, that Becky is no match for me when it’s just us two. In a fair match, she has no chance. I took everything she had. Even her friends tried to get involved - typical Becky tactics, but the likes of Ashleigh and Helena had seen enough of that. They did the right thing, something that’s been rare here. And the end result is that Becky threw it all at me and I STILL walked out with this gold in hand. I showed that I am very capable of rising to the top of Liberty. Becky did well to defend so many times, no doubt, but despite all the challengers Becky faced, I am the one to dethroned her. And with that done, it’s time to give this title the prestige it deserves. No more ducking from the champion. No more excuses. No more hiding behind a gang of leeches. Now there is a true fighting champion holding this title, a champion who will defend against any and all comers. Which brings us to tonight, doesn’t it?

She smiles a little, and the fans chant that she deserves it for a few moments. She waits for them to die down again.

Melissa: Tonight I defend this very title that I worked so hard for. I defend it against a guy who, just two days after I won this title, beat me over in Vengeance Pro. Beat me in dubious circumstances, it must be said - thanks to Cass Baumer. The man who I fought to a draw last week in that same promotion. The man who is the Vengeance Champion - Gavin Grimes.

Many of the fans cheer at his name, though some do boo a little.

Melissa: This match is a fitting way to main event tonight’s show, I’m sure you would all agree. And it’s funny, because it was Gavin himself who accused me of never drawing outside talent in. Yet here we are, a champion vs champion match that is taking place because of me.

She chuckles for a moment.

Melissa: Just a thought.

Her serious face returns as she moves the title to her shoulder.

Melissa: It’s funny...people have been asking me why his Vengeance title wasn’t on the line last week, but my Liberty title is this week. And the answer for that one is real simple. I’m not afraid to put this title on the line. I always said I’d be a fighting champion, and here I am. “Oh, but he’s not part of Liberty, why bring an outsider in?” Yeah, I heard that plenty. But you tell me where else you’re going to see a champion vs champion match, where one of the champions is prepared to put their title on the line? You tell me where else you’re going to see Mel Reeves and Gavin Grimes go at it in an unbiased match, in a match without stipulation, without idiotic management letting another roster run rampant and ruin it all? Yeah, that’s right. Nowhere. Just right here, in this very ring, right here in Liberty Pro.

She smiles as the crowd cheer again.

Melissa: But that’s not the only match we got going on tonight, is it? Not at all. I’ll admit that there’s another match I have an eye on. Brendan Callaghan vs Isabella Strickland vs Helena Noir, for the right to face me for this title. Wow, what a lineup, right? First you got Brendan. That guy, let me tell you, when he puts his focus into something...when he gives it his true effort, he’s a force to be reckoned with. And Isabella? She took out, what, three people in the gauntlet last show? She was only stopped by Zooey - a woman I’ve faced myself, and I know she’s no slouch. And then there’s Helena. The same Helena who stood up against The Society in my match vs Becky…

She slowly nods.

Melissa: Truth is that whoever wins that match will undoubtedly deserve it. And no matter who that may be, it will be my honour to defend this title against them. Because, and make no mistake, whoever that may be will face me, not Gavin. They will face me and, just like Grimes, they will lose. And that’s nothing against them, at all. But it’s how it is. It’s how it must be. Winning this gold puts a target on my back, but that doesn’t mean I’m easy pickings. I know that the challenge can come from anyone, from anywhere, and that is why I am always ready.

She removes the title from her shoulder and again raises it.

Melissa: And I welcome the challenge. So, Gavin, I hope you’re ready to bring it tonight. And Brendan, Isabella, Helena...no matter which of you wins, I hope you’re ready to bring it when you get your chance, too.

She drops the microphone and mounts the turnbuckle, title held aloft, as her music plays. The segment ends with her shouting to the fans as they cheer for her.

[align=center]MATCH SIX: SINGLES MATCH
Zeke Reed vs Romeo Black[/align]
wrote:
[align=center]As soon as the bell rings, Zeke manages to snatch control of the match first, overpowering Romeo with a boxing combo. Romeo staggers back and tries to retaliate with his own body shots but Zeke protects himself as he retreats backwards into the corner. Romeo continues with the onslaught until Zeke sidesteps to toss him into the corner and strikes his head with an effective forearm shot. Romeo attempts to get some distance but Zeke pulls him back to whip him across the ring. Romeo counters with a headscissor takedown before hitting the ropes for a rebounding handspring cutter. Zeke rolls away from impact, gripping the back of his neck.

Romeo proceeds to climb up the corner when Zeke strikes his back with a forearm shot. Zeke pulls Romeo back down and slams his face right into the turnbuckle, getting jeers from the crowd. Zeke keeps Romeo grounded with a short-arm clothesline and body kicks around the ring before crushing him through the ropes with a boot to the chest. With Romeo on the outside apron, Zeke proceeds to gear up for a running boot to the face. But Romeo rolls off the apron to dodge it, leaving Zeke to crash into the ropes. This gives Romeo the opening he needs. As Zeke pulls himself away from the ropes, Romeo comes back up on the apron before springboarding off the ropes with a leaping leg lariat that knocks Zeke down on the mat.

Romeo follows it up with a lionsault and a cover, only getting a two-count. Zeke struggles to his feet and staggers into the nearest corner. Romeo charges at Zeke with a rolling thunder. Zeke moves out of the way and Romeo safely hops up on the middle turnbuckle, only to get struck in the thigh by Zeke. The crowd cringes as Romeo falls hard on his back and clutches his leg in pain, allowing Zeke to hook both legs for the pin. But somehow Romeo kicks out in time. The match resumes with a short battle of the fists. Despite Romeo’s best efforts, Zeke eventually gets the upperhand with his five punch combo signature, Sugar Ray Jawbreaker. The ending uppercut leaves Romeo collapsing on his knees, allowing Zeke to follow up with his curb stomp finisher, American History X.


WINNER: Zeke Reed @ 12:21

Zeke’s hand is raised in the air and he celebrates for a moment before he looks up at the entrance way and sees Felix Vialpando standing there, clapping. [/align]

[align=center]BACKSTAGE[/align]

Scarlett Highland stops outside of Nathan Callaghan's office after her first successful defense of the Trials championship.

Scarlett Highland: Time to get paid...

Scarlett smirks as she knocks on the door lightly. Before Nathan can answer, she runs a hand through her hair and adjusts the championship over her shoulder.

A few moments pass when Nathan Callaghan opens the door.

Nathan Callaghan: What do you wa-...

Once Nathan realizes it’s Scarlett at his door, wide smile grows on his face.

Nathan Callaghan: Oh! It’s you! Please, come in.

Nathan opens his door for Scarlett as she enters and he pulls out a chair for her to sit in, which she does. He then walks over to his chair behind his desk and sits down.

Nathan Callaghan: So how can I help you tonight, Scarlett?

Scarlett Highland: Well, as you know I'm the first EVER Trials champion and I just defended this beautiful thing.

Scarlett sits the championship on his desk and runs her fingers over the plate for emphasis.

Scarlett Highland: As one of a select few to have held championship gold in this company, I believe I'm entitled to be compensated accordingly.

With confidence, she continues.

Scarlett Highland: Between my championship victory and my reality show, I'd say it's clear that I'm one of the top stars here, and I think we can both agree that I deserve to be paid as such. Right?

Nathan listens to Scarlett intently and nods in agreement when she finishes speaks.

Nathan Callaghan: You know what?

He leans back in his chair as he thinks.

Nathan Callaghan: You’re onto something here, Scarlett. You’ve proven your worth time and time again and you’ve earned it all. I’ll definitely make sure that you’re...

Nathan leans forward and grins.

Nathan Callaghan: Compensated.

Scarlett Highland: See? You're such a reasonable boss. So reasonable that I think you could even find it in you and your pants...

Scarlett puts a hand over her mouth and then laughs.

Scarlett Highland: Bad choice of words, I meant your pockets, which are in your pants...but you can find it in your pockets to make me the top paid star in Liberty, or at least among them.

Her hands continue rubbing the faceplate of her newly won and defended championship.

Scarlett Highland: If you did, BIG Callaghan would be making a BIG statement. I mean, showing the rest of the locker room how to REALLY get ahead in this company. It will give them something to work towards. I feel like a genius right now for this suggestion!

Nathan stares at Scarlett for a moment before gathering himself and clearing his throat.

Nathan Callaghan: Um, yes, of course!

He smiles and nods.

Nathan Callaghan: You’ll be one of the top paid stars in Liberty Pro thanks to your hard work as a champion and because of your reality show that brings eyes to the product.

Scarlett Highland: Perfect! Thank you soooo much!

The Trials champion's voice was a high pitch squeak at the news of her impending raise.

Scarlett Highland: I promise I'll work so HARD to prove that I deserve this. You're seriously the best. Can I have a hug before I go?

Scarlett stands up and begins walking around the desk without waiting for an answer.

Nathan Callaghan: Oh... Sure!

Nathan stands up from his desk and he accepts the hug from Scarlett as he wraps his arms around her and pulls her into him.

Scarlett looks over her shoulder, spotting the camera in the office.

Scarlett Highland: Umm hello!? This is a private, business discussion. You need to get lost, or fired. Nathan, get the camera person out of here please?

Nathan glances over at the camera and waves his hand.

Nathan Callaghan: Get out of here if you want to keep your job!

The camera backs away and the door closes with the final shot being of Scarlet and Nathan being cozy as they talked to each other.

[align=center]BACKSTAGE[/align]

The cameras are in the backstage area, where Avery Smith is standing by. Noticeably void of any headwear, more particularly her signature snapback, she possesses a look of determination and purpose. Knowing that she's got a huge match coming up later in the night, she begins to slowly pace back and forth.

Avery Smith: I could stand in front of the cameras and tell you all how excited I am to be wrestling here tonight, and just how important this match is. But what's the point, when you already know all of that? It'd be a waste of all of our time, which could be put to much better use elsewhere. Instead, I'm going to tell you all exactly how seriously Emily and I have taken this match.

Avery points to her head, making it clear that it contains nothing but her hair.

Avery Smith: I've removed my snapback. It's funny calling myself the Snapback Champion, of course it is. But tonight isn't about pretend headwear-based accomplishments. Tonight is about Emily and I getting our hands on the Tag Team titles. We've worked so hard to earn this opportunity, and for it to end up being a wasted one would just be a killer blow. Neither of us want that to happen, and while a slightly longer break is not ideal, we've used it to the best of our advantage. How, you ask? Well, we've been together discussing tactics; we've been in the gym; we've been going through our previous matches to find out what works and what doesn't. It's been a learning experience for us, but nothing good in life is free.

Avery pauses to clear her throat, before continuing.

Avery Smith: In order to get our hands on those titles, we need to put in the effort. That's why I've been studying our opponents, The Brady Bros. It hasn't been easy, considering there was a lot of confusion surrounding the Tag Team Championships for a while, but it's proved to be very valuable. If it wasn't obvious before, I certainly know now just how much the Tag Team straps mean to them. Having to endure all that controversy for as long as they did, it must feel great to finally have established themselves as the official Champions. But I don't care. Is that selfish? My bad.

Avery smirks whilst shrugging her shoulders.

Avery Smith: They mean a lot to Emily and myself, too. And we've not come this far to fall short at the final hurdle. We've been working towards this point ever since the moment we agreed to make our partnership a more permanent arrangement. These opportunities don't come around too often, so we need to capitalise on it. We need to capture the Tag Team Championships. Just think about it. Liberty Pro Tag Team Champions: Team Snapback. It has a nice ring to it, right?!

Avery, again adopting a smirk as a facial expression, lets out a slight giggle before stepping away from the scene, continuing down the hall.

[align=center]MATCH SEVEN: SINGLES MATCH
Zooey West-Jaa vs Dick Lightning[/align]
wrote:
[align=center]Zooey and Dick stand on opposite sides of the ring, as they approach to shake hands, Dick holds out his hand with a smirk, Zooey looks at him with obvious disgust and Dick tries to go for a kick but Zooey ducks it before she slaps him hard in the face. Dick stumbles back as the bell is rung and Zooey then charges him with a spear and tackles him down to the mat with force. Once they both hit the mat, Zooey is quick to turn her body and wrap her legs around his midsection, wrapping an arm around his throat she pulls him into a sleeper, Dick struggles some but this only causes her to lock her grip in tighter, beginning to choke him. She pulls back on his head and he begins to fade, as he begins to fade out she releases with a shake of her head and gets to her feet.

Dick gets up with a look of surprise on his face and he’s furious at Zooey, who cockily let go of her hold. Zooey begins to stalk the ropes before backing up into the corner, she crouches down to one knee and watched Dick closely, her eyes trained on him as he screams at her from the other side of the ring. Dick charges Zooey and goes for a spear but she moves out of the corner and DIck goes shoulder first into the corner. Dick holds onto his shoulder and tries to gather himself as Zooey laughs slightly and steps back,opening up her arms, she welcomes Dick to take a shot. Dick angrily tackles Zooey down and the two begin to go back and forth in a fight. They then get to their feet and Dick takes Zooey down with a DDT. He pins Zooey but she kicks after two.

Lightning picks Zooey up but she quickly shoves him off. This time, when he goes for Zooey she hits him with a superkick, following that up with a palm strike to his jaw, Dick refuses to go down until he is met with a hard Crane Kick to the bridge of his nose, as he flails back, Zooey ducks in with several hard shots to his body using her fists and elbows to assault his ribs and abdomen. Dick goes down hard, hitting the mat he rolls over onto his stomach and crawls to the edge, rolling off the apron he drops to the outside, Zooey begins to stalk the ring, calling for him to get back into the ring, waving her arms at him, before leaning over the top rope and yelling at Dick, who lies prone on the outside catching his breath.

Eventually Dick rolls back up to his knees and slams his hands down on the mats in frustration, the official forces Zooey to back away from the ropes to let Dick back into the ring. Zooey shrugs and backs off to her corner to await the restart of the match. Dick gets back into the ring with a huffed sound. Zooey begins to slowly stalk up and down the ropes waiting for Dick to get to his feet. When he does, she nails him with her a spinning heel kick, which she calls Butterfly Kick. Dick is laid out and Zooey pins him for the three count.

WINNER: Zooey West-Jaa @ 16:27

The bell is rung and Zooey West-Jaa has her hand raised in victory. She looks down at the work she has done to Dick with a satisfied look before she exits the ring and heads to the back, leaving the referee to tend to Dick Lightning, who is still in a daze from the Butterfly kick.[/align]

*Vítor Mata happily sits in his locker room. At his side on a well lit pedestal, sits hus Anarchy Championship which he beat Warren Corbett for 2 weeks previous. Vítor sits low in his chair, displaying his calm state of mind. Not yet in his ring gear, he takes off his shirt showing his ripped body.*

“The Anarchy Champion, Vítor Mata. I love the sound of that. Not as much as I love the sound of the Liberty Championship, Vítor Mata. That will come later though, believe me. For now I focus on tonight. On my first title defense, Felix Vialpando. Not the most worthy opponent, but an opponent nonetheless. After I beat him though, I do expect better competition. You see, no offense to you Felix, but your mental capacity doesn't compare to mine. You can't outsmart me in the ring, and your skill definitely can't compare to mine. This for you is too much of an uphill battle, and you can't win.”

*Vítor has a smug look on his face, it grows as he turns his head and makes eye contact with his Anarchy Championship. He grabbed it to put it over shoulder, displaying it prominently on his shoulder*

“Quite simply Felix, you don't deserve this. This match we're having is the closest you're getting to a brass ring, and you can make your stupid and predictable retort that I won't achieve anything more than this. Well you'd be kidding yourself in doing so. When I inevitability lose this title a long way down the road, the work I do with it will immediately propel me to another title shot for the Liberty Championship, which I will win. Whereas like I said you are just going to wallow in mediocrity. I look forward to beating you later Felix.”

*Vítor places his belt back on the pedestal as the video feed Fades to Black. As soon as this happens white text appears on the screen “Vitória para mim, Vitória por Portugal” then the video ends.*

[align=center]BACKSTAGE[/align]

The scene cuts backstage to the Liberty Pro Owner, Nathan Callaghan, sitting behind his desk with a smile on his face.

Nathan Callaghan: You know, I heard a lot of complaints earlier tonight… Especially from Felix Vialpando and my son, Brendan Callaghan. First off, Felix, take that fucking fake Gotham Championship off of your waist. You’re not the champion and you won’t even sniff that title as long as you keep on complaining.

Nathan sits back and smirks as he pauses.

Nathan Callaghan: As for Brendan? It seems like you don’t like surprises. At Battle Symphony, you were surprised from behind by Scarlett Highland as she beat you in the Gauntlet for the Trials Championship. I guess you take after me in the fact that I don’t like surprises either and I must say, you sure did surprise me at the beginning of the show. So you know what? I’ll give you, Helena and Isabella a surprise as well. Your triple threat match for the number one contendership? Guess what? It’s now a FATAL FOUR WAY MATCH.

Nathan pauses and laughs.

Nathan Callaghan: Oh and as for who the fourth competitor is? Well, that’s a surprise, seeing as how you like surprises. And this person? Well, I can easily say that they are the biggest signing in Liberty Pro history. Have fun!

Nathan smiles widely again as the scene cuts out.

[align=center]MATCH EIGHT: FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE FOR THE ANARCHY CHAMPIONSHIP
Vitor Mata vs Felix Vialpando[/align]
wrote:
[align=center]The bell sounds and the two wrestlers start to circle the ring. Vitor makes the first move, pulling Felix into a collar-and-elbow tie up, backing him up into the ropes. Throwing Vialpando into the ropes, Mata goes for a back body drop, but Felix counters by stopping just in time for a DDT. He tries for a pin, but barely gets a one. Felix gets up for a quick elbow and tries another pin just to get the same result. Vialpando lifts Mata up and backs him into the corner, but Vitor switches it around and throws Felix into it instead, chopping his chest in the process.

The crowd gasp as Vialpando’s chest gets lit up with a series of hard hitting chops from Mata before Vitor lifts Felix up onto the top turnbuckle. He starts climbing up after his opponent, but Felix stops Vitor with a forearm. The two begin trading clubbing blows, but Vialpando wins the war with a sharp elbow strike. Vitor drops down onto his feet and Felix flies off with a missile dropkick that sends Mata rolling out of the ring. Hitting the ropes, Vialpando dives for a suicide dive, but Mata is ready for it and throws a forearm that catches Felix flush.

Hopping up to the apron, Vitor pulls Felix out to the apron with him. Mata lifts Vialpando up into a suplex and hits a brainbuster right on the apron! Both men land hard on the outside as the crowd gives a “Holy Shit!” chant. Vitor is the first to rise as he picks Felix up, trying to drag him into the ring, but Vialpando charges Mata into the side of the apron before throwing him into the barrier. Mata tries getting back up to his feet, but Vialpando is there to catch him with a Falcon Warning DDT (Cradle DDT)! He pins Vitor’s shoulders down and the referee counts. One! Two! Thr-NO!

Vitor just gets his shoulder up as Felix explodes, yelling at the referee over the count. Vialpando pushes the referee down, giving Mata just enough time to recover, and catch Felix off guard with his Pantera Negra (Short-arm Elbow)! This time Mata makes the cover. One! Two! THRE-NO! Another close kick out and Mata can’t believe it, but he maintains his composure a bit more. He lifts Felix up, driving his knee into his midsection, and dragging him up toward the back. Felix starts to recover and they end up brawling their way into the backstage area.

Vialpando gets the upper hand after he bounces Mata’s head off a production crate. He follows it up with a snap suplex onto the concrete backstage. Felix is starting to get cocky and he notices Zeke Reed standing not too far from them and Vialpando walks up to him, yelling at Zeke to take notes. Reed stays quiet as Vialpando starts talking some serious trash and tells Zeke to swing, but nothing happens. Nothing until Felix decks Zeke with a hard left and puts him down. He turns back, heading over to Mata, putting the boots to the man.

But it comes to an end as Zeke Reed’s back on his feet, spinning Felix around, and planting a boot to his midsection. Reed pulls Vialpando in for Shot The Devil Dead (Vertical Suplex Stunner)! Zeke looks down at the downed Felix before walking away as Vitor recovers, looking at the scene in front of him, and makes the cover. ONE! TWO! THREE!

WINNER and STILL ANARCHY CHAMPION: Vitor Mata @ 16:58

The bell sounds from ringside as Vitor picks up the win and the referee hands over the Anarchy Championship to Mata. He hugs the belt and holds it up for the camera to celebrate his defense thanks to an assist from Zeke Reed.[/align]

Emily Jackson: Tonight, I get to create my own Jackson Legacy. I get a chance to make the Jackson Legacy even bigger than it already is. I have been working hard for this moment and I will take it with Avery. I want to be a champion and I know that it will not be easy, but you know what nothing in this business is easy.

She takes a deep breath as she closes her eyes.

Emily Jackson: The past few weeks I have been sitting here waiting for Liberty to be put back on the map. Ever since Avery and I won the chance at the tag titles we have waited. We knew that the match was going to happen but it was always when it was going to happen and now that we know it is going to happen we cannot wait.

She smiles again as she starts to walk around the room.

Emily Jackson: When we put a nail in the coffin of the Society we knew that we would get to the Brady Brothers and now that it is here it is one of those things that you think about. You wonder if we can be good enough to do it, you wonder that if we lose will it be over for us. Avery and I were thrown together at one point and we didn’t know how well we would do honestly, but as the wins started to pile up we knew that we had something special. We knew that we worked well together and we knew that we could never stop. This is the moment right here the one we have worked hard to get and honestly I am not going to let it slip.

She took a deep breath again as she started to walk out of the room.

Emily Jackson: My personal life has been broken and then fixed and now I have someone behind me that will push me to become something even better. With Romeo by my side I know what I need to do and that is bring a title home. This is my chance with the Jackson Legacy, Larissa has been killing it with what she has been doing in the ring, I just need to stand beside her and be a champion along with her. Team Snapback is ready! Lets do this!

She smiles as she closes the door behind her.

Team Snapback vs The Brady Bros[/align]
wrote:
[align=center]To start the match, Emily and Colt square up and lock up. Colt gains the advantage and with Finn uses some nice crisp tags to keep Emily down on their side of the ring. But a split second mistake from Finn allows Emily to tag in Avery who clears the ring of the Brady Brothers. She keeps it up outside the ring battling with Colt as Finn and Emily exchange shots.

Avery and Finn get back in the ring and exchange moves, neither getting ahead of the other. Avery starts to work over Finn and even works in several tags with Emily. Soon all hell breaks loose as all four competitors end up in the ring. Emily gets knocked down and Colt goes to the top rope with Finn giving watch. Suddenly, Avery connects with a superkick to the face of Finn Brady causing him to fall into the ropes, knocking his brother Colt back to the canvas. Avery doesn’t waste a moment pulling Colt to his feet and dropping him with her "Endgame" (Wrist lock transitioned into a short-arm bicycle knee strike). She makes the cover and gets the championship win.

WINNERS and NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: Team Snapback @ 9:26

After the match ends Colt gets in the face of his younger brother Finn and starts yelling at him about how this loss was all his fault and how he was better without him. Colt goes to to leave the ring but Finn stops him. Colt then turns and levels his brother with clothesline. Colt pulls Finn to his feet and tosses him from the ring. Suddenly, Izzi Grimes, Finn’s girlfriend, rushes to the ring and tries to plead with Colt and gets in his way. Colt grabs Izzi by her hair and pulls her around the ring a bit. He starts to swing at her but is suddenly blasted by Finn and knocked from the ring. Finn starts to yell out what are you doing to his brother as he checks on Izzi. Colt walks up the ramp and tells Finn to fuck off and you’ll get what’s coming.

Meanwhile, Team Snapback is busy inside of the ring, celebrating their victory with their newly won Liberty Tag Team Championships.[/align]

Zooey West-Jaa is walking backstage headed towards the locker room, she is already out of her ring gear, looking showered and fresh, a smile on her face as she turns the corner and opens her mouth to say something before she spots the camera and immediately turns to face it with a smile.

Zooey West-Jaa: Well, Dick…

She smirks slightly and rolls her eyes as a scoff of laughter comes from somewhere behind. Her eyes trail off slightly to look at someone just behind the camera. Her smirk becomes a smile as she looks back to the camera.

Zooey West-Jaa: As predicted you came up a little bit short here tonight, didn’t you? The world sat back and watched as I reminded everyone in attendance and those watching from home exactly who the fuck I am. Now I reckon there’s gonna be a few back here who think they’re real hot shit, gonna mouth off about how my return to the ring ain’t gonna make any difference…

Zooey laughs slightly and shakes her head, glancing off again for a second before looking back at the camera.

Zooey West-Jaa: But that’s all any of ya really are anyway, steaming piles of hot shit stinking up the halls around here, fucking Society, what the fuck is that when it’s at home? A bunch of moody teenagers banding together? Back home Becks, you’d be a $2 Wednesday afternoon special… And I’m being kind.

Zooey rubs her tongue over her teeth as another laugh rises up from behind the camera. Dropping her hands to her hips she shrugs.

Zooey West-Jaa: I don’t care if ya daddy runs the place, if ya think ya some big time reality star, if ya seven feet tall or if ya only real claim to fame is your brother fucked his best mate whilst you cling to relevancy like a washed up, drowned out Phoenix… Any of you step into that ring with me and you’re getting into my world, that world ain’t for you kiddos… it’s a world of hurt and humiliation. Ya think being a wrestler is gonna hold you up against me?

She leans back slightly and brings her foot at the way up until it’s in a kick position above her head, she holds it there perfectly extended and then pivots bringing it down easily and quickly.

Zooey West-Jaa: Think again.

[align=center]As the three participants get into the ring, they wait around a bit for an announced fourth entrant into the match, but no music plays and no one comes out. With no sign of the fourth, the referee calls an audible


and signals for the match to begin. The three start to circle the ring and Brendan Callaghan can be heard egging both Isabella and Helena on, trying to pit them against each other. Instead, they just get annoyed of him and charge after him with a double clothesline. Callaghan gets right back up for Strickland and Noir to hoist him up with a suplex.

But the alliance is short lived as Helena tries rolling up Isabella, getting a one count, and calling Strickland to get back up with an understanding nod. Noir tries charging at Strickland, but Isabella is quick to react by just putting her boot up and knocking Helena down. She begins to lift Helena up when Brendan jumps up behind Isabella, throwing clubbing strikes down on her back. He grabs her and throws her right out of the ring and turns back to a recovering Noir. Callaghan tries to get a laugh out of the crowd as he picks up Noir, but she’s not having it as she throws a wicked back elbow that connects.

He stumbles back just enough for Noir to run in and hit a sling blade then tries for a pin, but Strickland is there to pull Helena off of Brendan. Noir tries for a roundhouse kick, but Strickland catches her and sends her across the ring with a capture suplex. She stumbles up into the corner and Isabella runs in, looking for Stricken, but Helena dodges it, grabbing Isabella and running up the turnbuckle for her Stay Gold (Sliced Bread #2)! Helena hooks Isabella’s legs and nearly gets the three count, but Brendan breaks the pin just in time.

Callaghan remains playful as he lifts Noir up, but focuses a bit as he picks Helena up in a vertical suplex, showcasing his power as he holds her up. A few seconds pass and he drops Helena to the canvas. Brendan wastes no time picking her right back up and sending Helena into the ropes before lifting Noir up for a delayed spinebuster! And he holds onto Noir’s legs as he starts to rotate for a giant swing! The crowd counts along and after the seventh, Callaghan drops Noir to complete the Boston Full Throttle!

A bit dizzy after the move, Brendan has to regain his composure before making a pin, but before he can, Isabella is back up and hits him with her Hellfyre Lariat! But Callaghan gets right back up, only to be knocked down with another Hellfyre Lariat! She’s just about to make the pin when music starts playing. It’s “Chewing Glass” by END and no one shows, but the curtain moves and Anastasia Hayden comes out! She strolls down to the ring with Isabella calling her in, ready for a fight.

Ana slides into the ring, charging right at Isabella, but doesn’t attack, instead she leaps up into her arms and the two hug right in the center of the ring much to the confusion of everyone. The apparent friends let go as Helena Noir is just getting up. She charges Strickland with a leg lariat and takes the big woman down, but the fresh Hayden is there to get Noir with a side slam backbreaker. Once back up, Strickland lifts Noir to her feet for Lady Death (Vertical Suplex Piledriver)! And Isy turns back toward Brendan, walking over, and holding him steady for Anastasia to hit She Was Only Seventeen (Running Single Leg Dropkick)! Hayden hooks Callaghan’s leg as Strickland keeps Noir down! One! Two! THREE!

WINNER: Anastasia Hayden @ 17:34

The crowd boos as the bell sounds and Anastasia hops to her feet, celebrating her “hard fought” win. Isabella holds her hand up and Ana has to jump to complete the high five before Strickland lifts the new number one contender up on her shoulders. The duo turn toward the standing Melissa Reeves at the announce table and point at her with Ana motioning for the belt around her waist.[/align]

[align=center]BACKSTAGE[/align]

Jumping to the back, a cheerful Anastasia Hayden and Isabella Strickland can be found celebrating the win. As they spot the camera approaching, they turn, both sporting arrogant grins.

ANASTASIA: “I can’t believe it...my first night and look at what I’ve done! I mean, that should come as no surprise if you know who I am...and if you don’t know? Then let me introduce myself. I am the Grand Duchess! The greatest wrestler on this planet! Your favorite wrestler’s favorite wrestler! The undeniable number one! And now the MVP of Liberty! Am I forgetting anything?”

ISABELLA: “New number one contender.”

ANASTASIA: “That’s right! And I couldn’t have done it without the help of my best friend since day one, the lovely Isabella Strickland.”

Isabella does a curtsy as Ana does a small golf clap.

ANASTASIA: “And we’ll keep it short and simple since I’ve got a big win to celebrate. I’m here in Liberty to dominate. I’m here to show why I’m the best at what I do and why there’s no one better. I’ve got the biggest, baddest woman by my side...and yeah, we’re gonna be unstoppable. It’s cliched to say that the roster is officially on notice...but you kinda are. Anastasia Hayden? Isabella Strickland? If you get in our way...well…”

ISABELLA: “You’re fucked.”

ANASTASIA: “Couldn’t have said it better myself.”

The women keep their cocky grins as Ana pushes the camera out of the way and the duo leave the scene as the camera jumps elsewhere.

[align=center]BACKSTAGE[/align]

The scene cuts to Gavin Grimes in his locker room, his VPW Undisputed Championship and VPW WIld Card Tag Team Championship are on each of his shoulders. He glances over at the camera and chuckles.

Gavin Grimes: Yeah, I heard what Reeves had to say about this match. She talked about how I commented that she didn’t bring people to Liberty Pro but here I am…

Gavin chuckles and shakes his head.

Gavin Grimes: Yeah, it’s easy for you to DO IT when I comment on it, and I’m the one who’s here, me, the guy who said it! I also enjoyed how you mentioned the fact that your title is on the line this week, while mine wasn’t when we fought last week.

He pauses and rolls his eyes.

Gavin Grimes: Honestly, all you had to do was ask. As for me, I would’ve offered to put it on the line but I figured you didn’t want to fight for my title after I had to compete in four other matches earlier in the night. So I’m surprised you complained about it tonight.

He pauses and shrugs.

Gavin Grimes: But hey, whatever floats your boat. I don’t give a shit because I know I’ve done everything as fair as I can and the only reason I am here to fight this match is because you deserve a clean one on one battle with me. Not a match where I had four matches before, not a match with Baumer as the referee… Just a battle between you and me, being as fresh as we could possible be in the ring. As for what you’re bringing tonight, I don’t doubt you’re going to give me the fight of your life and I welcome it.

He nods confidently.

Gavin Grimes: But you’re going to need all of that and more to beat me. You know it and I know it. You know what I do on these kind of stages, you know that I elevate to another level. Will you find it inside of you?

He taps his chest.

Gavin Grimes: To reach for a level that you never had to before? To pull out on the stops? Because I ain’t Becky Balfour, as good as she is… I’m better than her. I’m a once in a generational talent and I ain’t just saying that… It’s what people believe and I back that shit up day in and day out. Win or lose, I’m gonna back it up tonight.

Gavin steps towards the camera and stares into it for a few moments.

Gavin Grimes: You think I’m your enemy, Melissa…

Gavin scoffs and shakes his head.

Gavin Grimes: But I’m not. Nah, I just want you to bring a war to me. I don’t care about being nice and friendly right now… I want to be mean, I want this match to be brutal… I want it to be epic, I want it to be remembered as the best match in Liberty Pro history… I want us both to give it all we got… And I want us to leave the fans here tonight feeling as if all of them were winners for watching this war.

Gavin adjusts his VPW Championship as his brow furrows.

Gavin Grimes: Are you ready for the biggest night of your life, Mel? Because this kind of night for me? It’s a thing that happens on a nightly basis. So please, do me and everyone a favor here… And get on my level.

Gavin nods and walks away before the scene cuts out.

[align=center]The referee calls for the bell and Gavin and Melissa are now standing in their respective corners of the ring and they stare each other down and the fans are going wild. Both Gavin and Melissa both glare at each other before they both peer out to the crowd that is completely hyped. Gavin starts to bounce around in the ring, trying to hype himself up, knowing he’s got a tough task ahead of him. The two competitors rush towards each other at full speed and Melissa goes for a clothesline but Gavin is able to duck under it and he bounces off of the ropes. As Melissa turns around, she is met by a flying dropkick to her chest from Gavin that sends her flying to the mat. Melissa gets back up quickly and she charges at Gavin who then drops her with a drop toe hold.

Melissa gets back up to her feet and charges at Gavin. They lock up quickly, but Melissa realizes she won’t be on the better end of this deal and so she quickly squirms away before swinging for the fences with a hard right hand that nails Gavin right in the jaw and he stumbles back a few feet. Gavin shakes off the cobwebs and charges towards Melissa but but she delivers a high kick to his head and he falls to the ground. Melissa now goes for the cover but Gavin kicks out after two. Melissa picks Gavin up off the mat and whips him towards the turnbuckle and instead of bracing himself and crashing into it with his back, he ends up colliding with the turnbuckle chest first before collapsing on the ground.

With Gavin lying down on his back, Melissa climbs the turnbuckle and looks down at him. Melissa leaps off the turnbuckle as Gavin starts to get up. Gavin turns and is met by a diving knee strike straight to his head. He stumbles around the ring before collapsing down onto the mat. Melissa pins Gavin again but he kicks out after a two once again. Melissa pulls Gavin up by the shirt and synched in a headlock before wrapping her arms around Gavin’s stomach and lifting him up for a German suplex. Gavin clutches his back on impact and Melissa is quick to continue going to work on him. Melissa lands a few hard stomps right to the back of Grimes before picking him up and leaning him down on the middle rope. Gavin hangs there as Melissa leaps up in the air and drives both of her knees into Gavin’s back and he howls out in pain.

Gavin drops down to the mat and Melissa goes for another cover but the Undisputed Vengeance Champion kicks out after two. Melissa slaps the mat in frustration before standing up and it looks as if she’s stalking him, looking ready to strike at the perfect moment. After a few seconds, Gavin begins to stir and he stands up on his feet. He turns around and Melissa goes for a Facial Deconstructor (Codebreaker) but Gavin somehow counters it as he wraps his arms around Melissa’s head and drops her with The Crowning (Headlock driver). Gavin crawls over Melissa and hooks a leg, going for the cover and right before the three count, the Liberty Pro Champion is able to barely get a shoulder up.


The fans are chanting “This is awesome” due to Melissa’s resiliency from kicking out of The Crowning. Gavin stumbles to his feet before he pulls Melissa up to her feet and Gavin tries to nail a left punch but Melissa counters and knees Gavin hard in the gut. Melissa tries to whip Gavin to the ropes but he stands his ground by keeping his feet planted on the ground. Gavin then counters and lands elbow after elbow before finally breaking free from Melissa’s grip. Gavin grabs Melissa by the head, and drops down, connecting with a sitout jawbreaker that sends the Melissa stumbling back a few feet. Gavin charges Melissa with all his might and he connects with a thunderous spear. Gavin then bounces off of the ropes and throws himself into the air, going for a running shooting star press but Melissa gets her knees up just in time and Gavin’s rips come crashing down onto Melissa’s knees.

Gavin gets to his knees while clutching his ribs and Melissa blows Gavin a kiss before she delivers a thunderous buzzsaw kick to Gavin’s temple, mimicking Ashleigh Grimes’ finisher and executing it to perfection. Melissa goes for the cover and gets a two count before Gavin kicks out. Melissa wastes no time going back to work on Gavin after he kicked out as she picks him up. Melissa sets Gavin up for a suplex, but once she lifts him up, Gavin lands back on down on his feet behind her. He then kicks Melissa’s leg and sends her to her knees. Gavin then connects with the Sac-Town Kick right into the back of Melissa Reeves’ head. Gavin immediately collapses after the move, grabbing his sore back and head, while Melissa is incapacitated in the middle of the ring.

A few moments pass before Gavin pulls himself up on the ropes and looks out at the crowd that’s going nuts. He blinks a few times, shaking the cobwebs from the beating he’s been taking. On the other side of the ring, Melissa is somehow beginning to stir even though Gavin nailed her with the Sac-Town Kick. Melissa is up on her knees when Gavin charges at her and leaps towards Melissa, wrapping his legs around her neck and driving her head in the mat, nailing a perfect hurricanrana driver. Gavin then goes for the cover and Reeves once again kicks out right after the two count. Gavin rolls off of Melissa gingerly before standing up. Gavin holds onto the ropes, trying to catch his breath as Melissa starts to get up as well. Gavin delivers a hard closed left fist to Melissa’s face and she stumbles back before nailing Gavin with a right of her own. The two then trade punches and go back and forth before Gavin gives up on the punch battle and he drives his knee right into Melissa’s gut. He then grabs her by the head and executes a DDT.

Gavin climbs up the turnbuckle and looks at Melissa to make sure that she’s down. Gavin then leaps off and nails the King Splash (Phoenix Splash). He then goes for the cover and right before the three count, Melissa gets a foot on the bottom rope and the referee stops the count. Gavin looks up in disbelief before he rolls off of Melissa slowly and both competitors are breathing heavily in the middle of the ring as they lie next to each other. They each get to their feet and Gavin knees Melissa in the gut before wrapping his arms around Melissa’s head. Gavin looks as if he’s about to hit Melissa with The Crowning once again but Melissa counters by elbowing Gavin in the gut several times before shoving him towards the ropes.

Gavin bounces off of the ropes and he goes for a flying clothesline on Melissa but Melissa ducks under it. Gavin then turns around and before he knows it, Melissa is leaping back and nails Gavin with a Pele Kick. Gavin drops to his knees and Melissa charges him before nailing a Shining Wizard and Gavin drops to the mat. Reeves pins Grimes but he kicks out after two again. Melissa places both of her hands on her head in disbelief. She looks down at Gavin who’s no longer moving and she stalks over him. Gavin begins to stir and when he gets to his feet, Melissa grabs him and nails him with the Reaver Slam (Angle Slam). Melissa hops on top of Gavin and the referee starts the count but somehow Grimes kicks out after two.

Melissa sighs as she looks down at Gavin and shakes her head. She then looks up at the turnbuckle and nods as she keeps her gaze on the turnbuckle. Melissa walks over to it and starts to climb up the turnbuckle. Gavin somehow finds a burst of energy and he gets up and climbs the turnbuckle. Melissa and Gavin battle on top of it for sometime before Gavin pushes Reeves off and she lands hard on the mat with a thud. Gavin almost drops off of the turnbuckle but he’s able to catch himself. He takes a few moments to gather himself before standing up on the turnbuckle. Gavin then leaps off, going for the King Splash again but Reeves kips up to her feet before leaping up and countering Gavin with the Facial Deconstructor (Codebreaker). Grimes is completely knocked out as Melissa lies there for a moment. After sometime, Reeves crawls over to Gavin and she places an arm over his chest. The referee starts the count and counts go three finally and Reeves is declared the winner as the fans are in a frenzy.

WINNER and STILL LIBERTY CHAMPION: Melissa Reeves @ 36:45

The two rivals are lie there next to each other, breathing heavily. Reeves somehow manages to get up to her knees as she’s handed her Liberty Pro Championship. She looks down at the title and smiles before clutching it to her chest. The moment doesn’t last long when a mysterious figure slides into the ring from behind and grabs Reeves by her head. The camera catches the person’s face and it’s none other than Becky Balfour of #TheSociety. Becky screams out before she nails Melissa with Scream For Me (Reverse DDT). Becky then grabs the Liberty Championship and holds it up over Gavin and Melissa, screaming out that the championship still belongs to #TheSociety. Becky then drops the belt over Melissa’s chest, leaving her and Gavin lying next to each other as the show goes off of the air. [/align]
