George Sullivan: Good lord what a shot by Gracie!
Harley Meisner: She hardly broke a sweat. I’m intrigued with this new found temper she has on her, it suits her better instead of being a goody too shoes.
Sara Butler: She’s always been like this but after her injury, she has more of a chip on her shoulder.
(Gracie slithers under the ring and grabs a chair as the Wreckoning watch her. She slides in the chair and shoves the ref out of the ring. She places the chair next to Thanatos who is knocked out and places her feet on top of his chest)
Gracie Lopez: I guess some people need to be taught a lesson and see this is what happens when you don’t listen. I overheard 2 things before I got out here, one of them is that this guy here is no longer under contract and we’ll get rid of the trash soon but the other thing is, I heard that they, management, have nothing for me at the upcoming PPV show. See, I don’t see it that way, I didn’t spend half the year last year rehabbing to be told “there’s nothing for you”...
(As she talks the Wreckoning start entering the ring one by one and surround her.)
Gracie Lopez: There’s ALWAYS something for me to do….like for instance, I never tried one thing….
(She points to the announce table)
Gracie Lopez: See an opportunity right there…. Now I know we can’t have 4 announcers because that’ll be ridiculous….so Sara Butler, I’m taking over during the main event at the PPV. So you’ll have a short night, maybe you can do something useful instead of pretending like you know the business. I bet I could make you look like an amateur.
(Alexis, Jenn, EJ, and Jack each hop up onto the apron, one on each side of the ring. The crowd begins to go wild chanting “WRECKONING!” loudly.)
George Sullivan: Listen to this place!
Sara Butler: ….. I have no comment, after the way she talked to me!
Harley Meisner: Get over it cupcake, she called you out.
(They all enter the ring and Gracie smirks. She holds out the mic, waiting to see who takes it first. Alexis looks at her and nods, Gracie lifts her feet as EJ and Jack grab Thanatos and position him as Alexis hands her Mayhem Title to Jenn and climbs to the top rope.)
Sara Butler: Uh oh…
George Sullivan: We know what this means!!!
Harley Miesner: DOWN UNDER THUNDER!!!
(Alexis leaps with a split legged corkscrew moonsault, AKA the Down Under Thunder. She lands on him with a loud thud and hops to her feet, getting her title back and the mic)
Alexis: Gracie… I know how you feel. I'm a champion, damnit, and they don't even bother doing a contender match or anything. So. I'm going to take it upon myself, much like you, to make something happen at Crime and Punishment. I'm going to issue an open challenge. Next week I will be out here in this ring with a contract in hand. First person brave enough to come down and sign it… gets a shot at my belt at the ppv. So… you think you got the skill to take on me and possibly make an enemy of the Wreckoning? I'll be waiting!
(The crowd cheers at the potential)
Jenn Makarios-Lopez: I could hit this guy where it hurts but he’s not worth my time, my focus is on the world title. I thought I would stand face to face with our world champion but it seems like he’s not here, or he’s scared, one of the two. Honestly, I don’t care which…
(The crowd starts booing towards the world champion not being there.)
Jenn Makarios-Lopez: But remember this, I don’t care if you are hiding or not, I will find you, you will be in this ring with me and you will put that title on the line. And these people I have in the ring with me? Don’t worry, they won’t be at ringside, because I don’t need people getting involved in my matches.
(As Jenn gets done talking, we see Jasmine whisper something in Jack’s ear)
Jack: Fresh meat, do you really think this is the time and place to air our dirty panties? In front of all these people? Couldn’t we do this in private? We all know I’m a grower not a shower.
Jasmine: First off, eww. Second of all just do it, It’ll be quick and painless. C’mon big, bad Jack afraid to learn the truth?
(Jasmine holds out a cotton swab, and a test tube vial to Jack, and with a rather annoyed look on his face Jack reluctantly takes them.)
Jack: If I do this do you promise to stop pestering me about it, and being a pain in my dick?
Jasmine: Cross my heart.
Jack: Fine!
(Jack swabs the inside of his mouth quickly and shoves it in the vial before tossing it back to Jasmine.)
Jack: There. God can we move on to why we’re out here now?
(Jack wipes his mouth and spits out the flavor of the swab.)
Jack: So now that’s taken care of we can move on.
(Jack stares intently at the camera, and begins speaking in a low tone.)
Jack: Gracie my dear is doing commentary. Jenn is targeting you Mr. Kent, and trust me that’ll be a long night at the office for you, you Perry The Platypus looking mother fucker. Lexi, love is focused on defending her glorious Mayhem Championship. So that begs the Question, what’s in store for the rest of us at “ Crime and Punishment”.
(Jack motions for EJ to come stand next to him.)
Jack: See we as a team have collectively trampled over everyone who’s been put in front of us and now it’s our turn. John and Beretta Blade, you know the Tag Team Champs? The one looks like a knock off fruity pebble box the other had a bad brazilian butt lift. Well guess what butt nuts? At “ Crime and punishment “ we calling your asses out.
(Jack gives a subtle nod to EJ, then the rest of the members of Wreckoning.)
Jack: Now that’s then this is now and we have a nice surprise for Mr. John “ Thanatos” Cadaver here.
(Jack and EJ do a pose pointing at the ramp, and entrance way. As The Wreckonings music begins to play we see a garbage truck being backed down the ramp towards the ring.)
George Sullivan: What are these menaces to society up to now, and what the hell are they planning on doing with that garbage truck, and more importantly who the hell is driving that thing?
(As the truck comes to a stop we see a large man sporting a leather motorcycle cut exiting the truck giving a thumbs up to the members of The Wreckoning before entering the ring.)
Jack: Ladies and Gentlemen please allow me to introduce the newest member of The Wreckoning. The one. The only. All the way from Charming, California MUUUUUUUUUUUUULE JRRRRRRRRRRR!
(Mule Jr. Pauses in the center of the ring for a moment striking a “strong man” style pose, before grabbing Thanatos.)
Jack: Wait Mule. Before we send off Thanny here I have one last gift I want to give him.
(Jack tosses his microphone to the canvas, flashes a toothy grin to Mule Jr. and directs him to set up Thanatos in the corner of the ring on the top turnbuckle. With the other members of The Wreckoning watching Jack he mouths to Thanatos “ I hope you had fun “ before running up the ropes to Thanatos and spiking to the canvas with a “Killing Joke”.)
George Sullivan: Good God if these delinquents weren’t a force to be reckoned with before, they sure are now.
Sarah Butler: I think you hit the nail on the head there George “delinquents”.
(Now with Jack, EJ, and Mule Jr. carrying Thanatos towards the trash truck with the girls cheering them on, they force Thanatos’ body into the back of the truck and closing the hatch. Jacks proceeds to grab the microphone for one last joke at Thanatos’ expense.)
Jack: Now I don't know about you guys, but that's what I call Taking out the trash.
Alexis: Ha what a loser.
Jack: Lexi dearest lest us forget. This is just a small sampling to those who dare get in the way of The Wreckoning.
(As the group in unison turn and walk up the ramp we see them stop and turn back to the audience as they all grab each other's hands, and bow almost resembling a curtain call of sorts.)
George Sullivan: There you have it ladies and gentlemen, another exciting edition of Friday Night Thunder. The Wreckoning with their eyes on more championship gold, and a new member in their ranks. Lord help us all
(Camera focusing on The Wreckoning begins to pan out, capturing the view of the crowd before fading to black, and ending the scene.)
Aiden Zane vs Lord Raab
The show returns from a commercial break as Lord Raab and Aiden Zane are already in the ring who adhere to the code of honor and shakes each other's hand as the referee asks for the bell to ring to start the match.
Lord Raab uses his power and muscles Aiden Zane into the corner and starts throwing hands at him fast like a piston knocking Aiden Zane down to the mat.
Aiden Zane rolls out of the ring to stop the momentum of Lord Raab. The referee begins to count out Aiden Zane who enters back the ring at the sixth count. Lord Raab runs at Aiden Zane knocking him down with a Shoulder Tackle. Aiden Zane springs back up to his feet and starts punching away at Lord Raab. Lord Raab absorbs the punches from Aiden Zane and with one well strike right hand knocks Aiden Zane again down to the ground.
Aiden Zane uses the ropes to get back up to his feet. Lord Raab runs into a dropkick by Aiden Zane but it barely affects Lord Raab. Aiden Zane climbs quickly to the second rope or as the fans know it as, the Bret rope and hits another dropkick but still not able to knock the big man off his feet. Lord Raab is motioning for Aiden Zane to try it from the top rope this time and see if Aiden Zane can knock him down with a diving dropkick off the top rope.
Harley Meisner: I really didn't expect this level of respect from these two men against one another.
Sara Butler: This is simple proof that not every match between the ropes has to be a blood feud or someone trying to destroy someone else.
George Sullivan: Sportsmanship only goes so far until one of them pops the other in the mouth and they no longer see it as a joke.
Aiden Zane jumps off the top rope and connects with the diving dropkick and it finally levels Lord Raab off of his feet. Lord Raab makes his way back up to his feet and catches a running Aiden Zane and connects with the Chokeinator. Lord Raab goes for the cover but only gets a long two count.
Aiden Zane gets back up to his feet and the two men start fighting again. Lord Raab Irish whips Aiden Zane against the ropes and upon the return of Aiden Zane, Lord Raab catches him and connects with the Killerbuster.
Lord Raab goes for the cover as the referee counts.

The Wreckoning (Alexis & EJ) vs Gr8ness (Mark Frenzy & Fred Whitmore)
(The bell rings as Alexis and EJ stand in their far side corner looking at each other for a moment, EJ nods his head. It’s his way of saying “He’s got this. On the near side of the ring we see Mark Frenzy and Fred Whitmore in their corner, Mark Frenzy starts for his side. Frenzy gets the early advantage on EJ but learns quickly that EJ is quick on his feet. But, Frenzy keeps him grounded for now, though it didn’t last long as EJ starts to use his speed for advantage. EJ starts flying off the ropes with uppercuts and springboard air assaults that confuse Frenzy as he doesn’t know which direction EJ is coming from.)

EJ starts flying off the ropes with uppercuts and springboard air assaults that confuse Frenzy as he doesn’t know which direction EJ is coming from.)
George Sullivan: EJ is using his speed tonight, I gotta say we should have a side-by-side race between him and his sister to see who the fastest one is because they’re fast in the ring.
Harley Mesiner: Frenzy needs to keep him grounded, if not this will be a long night for them.
Sara Butler: Anytime you face a Lopez it’s gonna be a long night.
(EJ and Frenzy go back and forth until EJ hits him with a roundhouse kick to the side of his head that makes him drop to the floor like a sack of potatoes. EJ looks at Lexi with a smile before slapping her hand for a tag. Lexi comes in and knocks everyone down on the opposite team.)
George Sullivan: Alexis is coming in hot!
Harley Mesiner: Greatness is in trouble now.
(As the match moves on, Alexis has control of the match until Frenzy takes over and makes his tag. Whitmore comes in and continues the momentum that Frenzy created. However, Alexis starts to fight back and Whitemore does everything he can for that not to happen but it’s no use. Alexis finally swings momentum back on her side with a huge superplex off the ropes. Alexis tries to tag in EJ but Frenzy has other plans by pulling him off the apron and throwing him into the steps at ringside with a smirk on his face. This only angers Alexis as she starts to off on Whitmore by throwing him chest first into the turnbuckles followed by a clothesline to the back of his head, she goes for a pin.)

(She gets yanked out of the ring by Frenzy. Frenzy tries to throw her into the ring post but she reverses it, throwing him face-first into it. The match breaks down here as they start fighting on the outside, Greatness starts to double team on Alexis as she tries to fight out and that’s when EJ comes in like a bat out of hell and knocks greatness over as Alexis ducks out the way at the last second.)
George Sullivan: Good lord! Did you see that height he got?
Harley Mesiner: I did and Greatness will feel that one in the morning…
(EJ nods his head at Alexis before high-fiving her, he throws Whitmore into the ring and points for Alexis to fight him. EJ quickly makes his way to their corner and asks to be tagged in, and she gives him the tag. Whitmore tries to make a tag but EJ catches his foot and pulls him away from the corner.)
George Sullivan: EJ and Alexis are showing great teamwork here.
Harley Meisner: I gotta say, I’m impressed. They’ve come a long way from where they started when they met. That trust factor is there, and they’re feeding off of it.
Sara Butler: I wanna see them team again in the future if this is gonna be the way for them.
(Whitmore breaks free and makes the tag but EJ quickly goes on the offense on Frenzy, Alexis sneaks around the ring and pulls Whitmore off the apron and throws him in the post again. EJ uses his speed to take firm control of the match and goes for a frog splash, he connects and pins Frenzy)
