[SHOW OPENING]
The show begins with some highlights from the mainevent of Bad Abundance pay-per-view where the whole team SFT came heavy on Trisha Wolfe and Candace after the elimination of all ICW male participants. Both women manage to eliminate three SFT guys. Rumpke eliminated himself after taking care of Trisha Wolfe. Redd and Candace came face to face with various encounters until Redd stood tall at the end as the sole survivor for his team.
Harley Meisner: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Friday Night Thunder, I am your host Harley Meisner and joining me on the table are my colleagues as usual George Sullivan and Sara Butler.
Sara Butler: We are live, from Tacoma Dome with a sold out crowd of ONLY 2,000 people maintaining social distance due to this outraged plague known as Coronavirus.
George Sullivan: Maintaining social distance is one thing but how would anyone maintain social distance while wrestling a match?
[BACKSTAGE]
(The show goes to backstage where we see 21 year old ICW diva Greta Mace sitting in one of the arena lounge rooms looking worried about something. Her manager Ridley walks by the doorway and out of the corner of his eye he sees Greta sitting alone in the room. He stops and turns around and goes into the room to talk to her.)
Ridley: Congrats to you and Andrew on that tag team win at Bad Abundance. You and him did the ICW team proud. I'm surprised to see you here tonight. You're not booked.
Greta Mace: Well I could ask you the same thing since you're my manager and I'm not booked. What are you doing here?
(He smiles.)
Ridley: Fair point. Just some usual business to take care of with management. What about you, but I think I already have an idea why you're here. Something to do with Darren Maddox perhaps?
(She gives a shy smile.)
Greta Mace: Yes. He's the reason I'm here tonight.
Ridley: Ahhh. You look, I don't know, concerned. What's on your mind?
(She takes a deep breath.)
Greta Mace: I really think that something's going on with Darren. He tapped out at the pay per view and that's just not like him.
Ridley: I would have to agree with you from what I know about him. Doesn't seem the kind of guy to do that. Maybe you should ask him if he's okay?
Greta Mace: I don't know. I don't want to pry or anything.
Ridley: Wouldn't be prying honey. You're his friend. You would only be asking because you care a lot about him and want to know if there's something wrong so you can help him if you can.
Greta Mace: He and Lycra have been so kind to me. They are the only ones besides The Enforcer who has really welcomed me to ICW when I first got here. Enforcer has been such a mentor to me, just like you have Ridley. But with Darren, it's different. It's just that...I still love him in my own way. I know he doesn't feel the same about me the way I do for him, but at least he wants to remain my friend. Any other guy would have said hit the road, but not Darren. He's a very special man. I can't help it if I still love him. Lycra understands and I'm thankful for that. I would never want them to break up, not ever. They are so happy together with a child on the way. I'm so happy for them. But, I just want to be here for him as a friend if there is something wrong with him.
Ridley: Then honey, you need to go to him and ask him flat out if he needs your help.
(She waits and thinks about it.)
Greta Mace: Yeah. I think I need to because deep down I know there's something wrong. I will ask him, but not tonight. He has enough on him with this title match against Jamo. That's why I'm here tonight. To show my support for Darren.
Ridley: You are a true and loyal friend.
Greta Mace: Darren will win tonight. I know he will. I believe in him. I always will.
(The show goes to ringside.)
[IN THE RING]
"Rest In Peace" By Jim Johnson as ICW Payne Champion, The Enforcer makes his way out from the entrance stage with the Payne title in his right hand. He stops at the beginning of the ramp and raises his title high above his head which adds a thunderbolt to his theme song.
Harley Meisner: Ladies & Gentlemen this is the Enforcer, the man who defeated Jay Impact a couple of weeks ago in order to successfully capture Payne championship in a Casket match.
The Enforcer then lowers the title, making his way toward the ring when suddenly he gets smacked out of the blue with a chair shot by someone who jumped in from the crowd. The Enforcer falls on his chest first, drops the Payne title but tries to get back to his feet until he receives another shot by that person right on his back .
George Sullivan: Who the hell is that?
Sara Butler: It's COLT KNOX!
George Sullivan: Who knocked?
Harley Meisner: The man who introduced himself through the ICW Scout during an ICW Press Conference a few hours back. I never thought that he would dare to knock our Payne champion down.
Colt Knox wasting no time grapples The Enforcer from behind and smashes his head right at the barricade to weaken the champion. Colt forcefully takes off Enforcer’s leather coat and hits a running knee strike at him to knock him fully down. Colt then motions toward the backstage and calls for the referee as a referee makes his way out approaches the scene. Knox picks The Enforcer up and locks him in his finisher but The Enforcer pushes Knox away and knocks him down with a shorthand clothesline.
Sara Butler: Knox’s dream of winning the Payne title has just been shattered into pieces.
George Sullivan: He might have been clotheslined Sara, but you cannot call it a shattering of dream.
Knox is down as the Enforcer gets back to his knees to recover himself and breathes heavily. Knox makes his way back to his feet before the Enforcer and picks up the chair that he popped up with. He hits the chair right again at The Enforcer but this time on his head as the champion is knocked out. The rookie covers the champion aiming to win his first ICW belt as the referee counts.

3..!!!
Harley Meisner: He has got it! Knox is the new Payne Champion.
Sara Butler: Good lord!!!!
Colt Knox grabs the Payne Championship and runs backstage leaving the ICW fans in the stadium and at home in wonder of what just happened. The scene moves to the backstage.
NEW ICW Payne Champion, Colt Knox!
[BACKSTAGE]
(The scene switches backstage to see Kayla Stone, who said she wasn’t going to be at this show for health reasons, is seen by the commish’s door. Decked out in mask and gloves to keep herself from catching this deadly virus with her immune system the way it is, she knocks softly on the commish’s door before walking into his office.)
Kayla Stone: Commish! Just the person I wanted to see.
(She takes a seat at one of his chairs. He tries to speak but she shakes her head politely.)
Kayla: Stone: no, no. Let me talk, please.
(Commish nods his head, and she lets him know with a soft nod.)
Kayla Stone: I know I said I wasn’t going to be here for health reasons, and you know why, everybody knows why at this point. But I’m here for the girls. See, these girls are here for a reason, championships. Yeah, I know a new company, you gotta work your way up but at the same time, Gracie and Jenn aren’t rookies.
(Kayla nods her head, she has a smile but it can’t be seen with the mask on.)
Kayla Stone: I’m not here to yell or tell you how to do your job, but I just think you should consider putting them in championship matches. They’ve been champions everywhere they have been. I can tell you first had they dominated both the men’s and women’s divisions, yes both were in the men’s division and dominated.
(Kayla chuckles to herself slightly)
Kayla Stone: I know we have a tight bond between all of us, but Gracie and Jenn can and will wrestle each other if needed. They did it before and they can do it again. I bet this is one of the most pleasant convos you had, I bet most people who see you throw things around, name call and do whatever. I guess in a way, I’m demanding a championship match for Jenn and/or Gracie but at the same time, I’m being respectful with it. I know the girls could have come in here and did the same thing but they’re not friendly with management, but after they were treated in the last place they worked, you’d be the same way too.
(Kayla leans back in the chair with a nod of a head once again.)
Kayla Stone: But I’d like to hear what you have to say too.
(Commissioner responds back to Kayla’s demand after patiently listening to her)
Commissioner: Kayla, to be honest with you I haven’t got a chance to scrutinize the whole lot about the girls but I have watched their matches and there is no iota of doubt that they’ve got the potential. At the same time I think they won’t find enough difficulty making names for themselves in this company as long as they do what they are ought to do.
(Commissioner leans back and cross the fingers of his both hands)
Commissioner: I see Gracie has some unfinished business with Greta Mace and that business needs to get settled at upcoming pay-per-view, WrestleCade II. Greta Mace will go one on one against Gracie Lopez in a .... Blindfold match. As for Jennifer, I cannot guarantee her the women’s title shot as Lacey Payne will be defending her Women’s Title against Destiny Hunter at WrestleCade. BUT.. if Jennifer beats Destiny tonight then she will be added to the bout making a Triple Threat Match for the Women’s Championship. Wish them a nice day from me.
(Commissioner smiles with a thumbs up gesture at Kayla as the scene moves back to the ringside)
[IN THE RING]
#1 Contendership for Tag Team Titles
Mixed Tag Team Match
Andrew & Steph vs. Christianna & Dark Tiger (Tiger Family)
Making Moves by Oh The Larceny plays in the arena as 7 feet tall Dark Tiger makes his way out alongside his daughter, Christianna Tiger. Christianna standing over 6 feet in height makes her way to the ring, backed up by her father and gets inside the ring.
Rick Henderson: The following contest is a mixed tag team match and scheduled for one-fall. Making their way to the ring, Dark Tiger and Christianna Tiger, The TIGER FAMILY!!
Sara Butler: Look at the size of this woman. I haven’t seen any woman with such a masculine height in ICW.
Lights go black out then a crazy laughter echoes in the arena then the lights come back to red, Andrew appears on the stage followed by his sister-in-law, Steph'. They walk down the ramp slowly until they reach near the apron talking to each other and making some work plan for the match.
Rick Henderson: And their opponents, Steph and JAMO!!!
Harley Meisner: Remember guys, Andrew is one of the guys who received the first ever victory for ICW against SFT after he and Greta Mace defeated Reno Destiny and Cassandra.
Members from the both teams stand in their respective corners and the match gets underway after the bell rings and the women from both sides get ready to kick off. Chrstiainna takes advantage of her size and tries to overcome Steph but Steph ducks and rolls out from underneath the Tiger’s legs, tackling her down from behind after nailing a push kick into her stomach. Chrstianna leans on the turnbuckle as Steph unloads some good right hands on her.
George Sullivan: Steph is looking to weaken her opponent from the very beginning of the match.
Chrstianna blocks Steph’s punches and aggressively pushes her back and knocks her down with a boot to her face. Christianna waits no time, covers Steph as the referee counts.
1..
2..
Two counts fall! Andrew claps for his partner from his corner as Christianna picks up her opponent and connects a suplex after keeping Steph’s body high in the air for a good 7-8 seconds. This creates an impact and shakes the ring and Christianna goes for another cover but this time it was a nearfall. Two and a half count as Steph kicks out to keep the match alive.
Sara Butler: Enforcer holding the Payne Title, Jamo wins the World Title tonight, Andrew & Steph advantages this match and wins the Tag Title at WrestleCade. Imagine the whole Demon Club gets customized with gold.
Christianna headlocks Steph from behind and locks her for some good seconds and almost paning her down toward unconsciousness until Steph partially gets to her knees and leans hard on her back which eventually hits Chrstianna even more as she breaks the lock. Steph quickly moves away, holds Christianna from behind and hits a German Suplex, turning it into a pinfall.
1..
2..
2 ½ …
Referee: TWO COUNT!
Harley Meisner: Oh mine! She almost had her.
Steph couldn’t believe it as Christianna moves away and tags in Dark Tiger which automatically forces Steph to tag in Andrew. After looking at the huge size of Tiger, Andrew hesitates a bit and leaves the ring from the bottom rope in order to play some mind games with him. The referee tries to call him back. Andrew gets inside the ring before the ref could start counting him out. Tiger approaches Andrew but Andrew again gets outside the ring, this time from the middle-rope.
George Sullivan: Come on, man! This is not how you win a fight.
Tiger exits the ring by going over the top rope as he was half way through it, Andrew pulls Tiger’s leg as it falls down on the apron and then on the mat outside after failing to manage balance. Andrew laughs at Tiger and starts stomping him outside the ring. Christianna comes in to aid her father but the ref jumps in between and stops her as well. This gave an advantage to team Andrew and Steph as Steph delivers a leg-drop to Tiger outside the ring before climbing back to her corner.
Harley Meisner: What is this? If a man is 7 feet tall doesn’t mean you would cheat to win a match.
Sara Butler: They are playing smart, Harley!
Andrew struggles to grab Tiger and then sends him inside the ring and covers.
1..
2..
Dark Tiger kicks out at two. Andrew sits on the top of his opponent and delivers some good punches on his forehead and goes for another cover the Tiger kicks out this time even faster than that. Andrew gets up and goes on the other side of the apron and motions for Phenomenal Forearm. The referee was looking at Andrew for his next move and stands exactly on the opposite side of where Steph is. Steph stealthy enters the ring from behind and follows her move Christianna also tries to enter but the referee sees her and tries to push her back.
George Sullivan: Come on, Ref, you are at the wrong side of the ring. Turn around!!
On the other side Steph grabs Dark Tiger from behind by holding his forearms at her best abilities. Andrew jumps on the top rope and flies in the air to deliver a forearm on Tiger’s head but at the last second Tiger unlocks Steph’s hold and moves aside which makes Andrew land straight on his partner delivering her an indeliberate signature move of her own husband. Andrew turns around and ends up eating Kick of Darkness (Running Yakuza Kick). Tiger covers Andrew.
Sara Butler: HOLY CRAP!!!! Andrew must be out.
1..
2..
THREE!!..!
*DING DING DING*
Rick Henderson: Here are your winners, Christianna and Dark TIGER!!!
Harley Meisner: That is going to be one of the unluckiest days for both Andrew and Steph.
The camera replays the scene several times where Andrew couldn’t perform his phenomenal forearm on Dark Tiger and ends up hurting his own partner and loses his advantage which helps Tiger Family to qualify themselves as new number one contenders for the tag team titles. Both father and daughter celebrate their victory as the scene switches for the commercial break.
WINNERS: Christianna & Dark Tiger via pinfall.
[COMMERCIAL BREAK]
Harley Meisner: Still to come ladies and gentlemen, our new SFT Intercontinental Champion, Jay Impact who single handedly defeated SFT’s own Reaper in order to take SFT IC title here in ICW. Another devastating victory for ICW at Bad Abundance.
The screen plays some of the highlights from Bad Abundance where Jay Impact is shown defeating Reaper in a Chairs match in order to capture the SFT Intercontinental Title after ICW Commissioner, Mike Flowers made the pinfall. The scene comes back from the highlight at backstage where Jay Impact is seen with the SFT Intercontinental Title in his hands right next to USPS 10x10 mailing carton.
Jay Impact: This is truly disturbing for me. I have been having nightmares all night long ever since I won the SFT Intercontinental Title. Even my late father came into my dream a few days ago and scolded me for having an SFT title belt around his waist. It was too heavy for me to grasp all that until I realized…
Jay pauses and looks at the SFT Intercontinental title before he continues.
Jay Impact: .. I realize that the whole belt itself reeks of garbageness. I mean look at the design of the belt and no wonder why people like Reaper who was reaped the reap out of him by a neo-Reaper a.k.a Jay Impact in Chairs Match, was the one to hold that championship. Both the holder and the title were an embarrassment for each other. Then it carries the name of the federation; SFT. Are you kidding me? Is that an abbreviation to Shitty Filthy Tiny-boo? Because this is how it reeks. Jay Impact made them IC-title-less federation. They should be naming their federation T.A.D.S - That's a DAMN shame.
Jay Impact nods his head with a smile, grabs the SFT IC Title and puts it inside the USPS carton.
Jay Impact: Joey, I am sending this pile of nothing back to you so you can put it on whoever shoulder’s you want to me. Or maybe strap it around your asses to make it coronavirused. But remember that I am still THE Intercontinental Champion. Next week, I am gonna reveal our version of IC Title, that says; ICW Intercontinental Championship.
Jay smirks and then hands over the mailing carton to some volunteer and instructs him to deliver it to SFT Headquarter as the scene switches to the ringside.
[IN THE RING]
Harley Meisner: Jay Impact came up with two breakings at one night. Not only did he send back the SFT Intercontinental Title belt back to SFT headquarters but he is also going to come up with another IC title that says ICW.
George Sullivan: I always had trust in that man. I wonder why he wasn’t part of the main event at Bad Abundance.
Ladies and Gentlemen by Saliva hits in the PA system as ICW Commissioner, Mike Flowers makes his way to the down the ramp until he gets inside the ring through the steel steps and is handed over the microphone by the one of the staff around the ring.
Sara Butler: Shhh! Time to listen to the boss.
Commissioner: I know what you all have been thinking right now. That’s right! I am here to make some special announcements regarding our next pay-per-view, WrestleCade.. Or let just say WrestleCade 2. It is almost an anniversary to ICW and ever since we came into the business our rosters are leaving incredible marks all over the road by making history and the Bad Abundance pay-per-view was not the full stop.
The fans all over the arena started chanting ICW's name.
George Sullivan: What does that mean? Is ICW going after another federation now?
Commissioner: First off all I would like to congratulate everyone from our rosters who showed the best out of them at Bad Abundance two weeks ago in order to keep the reputation for the company by bringing SFT down to their knees at some of the bouts. Guys like Andrew, Greta Mace, Don - who single handedly took care of five different men including two of them representing the SFT. Jay Impact, making history by coming home with an additional championship - the intercontinental title.
George Sullivan: I am still damn curious to see how our new IC title is gonna look like.
Commissioner lowers the microphone before he continues to talk.
Commissioner: Last but not least, I would like to congratulate Candace and Trisha Wolfe to do what other men couldn’t. You girls, even though you lost the match but you definitely won our hearts. Therefore, we will now begin our story from where we left. At WrestleCade ICW U.S. Champion Don will defend his title against Candace.. In a LAST MAN STANDING MATCH.
Sara Butler: Wait! We have a match between a man and a woman. Is this still going to be called the Last Man Standing match?
The fans from all over the arena start cheering as Commissioner continues the ICW Universe.
Commissioner: That’s not it, guys! Trisha Wolfe, I haven’t got something least for you either. You woman, are also going at WrestleCade against Jay Impact for his Intercontinental Championship match. How does that sound now?
Harley Meisner: Now this is what you call a reward.
The fans start cheering again and do “This is Awesome!” chants. All of a sudden Colt Knox comes out of the entrance stage and makes his way to the ring followed by ⅔ of the Outsiders, Robert Saints and The Crow alongside a referee. Colt, getting inside the ring, hides himself right behind the Commissioner as Saints and Crow surround and stalk him from both sides until Commissioner rolls himself out of the ring leaving no shade for Knox.
George Sullivan: Does ICW mean Hide’n Seek in any way?
Sara Butler: Den of wolves, stalking on the newbie.
Knox turns around to slip out but eats up a shuffle-side kick in between his right jaw and ear by The Crow who then covers him. The referee counts.

NEW Payne Champion: The Crow!
The Crow strip the Payne Title off of the Colt Knox’s waist as Robert Saints raises his hand in the air for few seconds until Saints shrugs his shoulder as pre-attack gesture and wastes no time knocking his own buddy down with a Viper Cutter (RKO) out of nowhere in the middle of the ring. Robert Saints covers the Crow.
Harley Meisner: Everyman for himself!
1..
2..
3..!!
NEW Payne Champion: Robert Saints!
George Sullivan: Robert Saints now a two times Payne Champion?
Harley Meisner: Three times actually. He is one reign away to join Dean Andry and Jay Impact who have the most Payne wins so far.
Robert Saints quickly grabs the title after pinning his own buddy and leaves the ring, escaping through the barricade and mingling among the crowd and eventually disappearing among them in order to keep the stalkers away. The scene goes for another commercial break.
[COMMERCIAL BREAK]
(Inside his locker room we see Jamo preparing for his big world title match against ICW World Champion Darren Maddox. This match between these two men has been a long time coming, but tonight is the night that it will finally happen. Jamo realizes how important this match is for him. The chance for him to finally be at the top of ICW. The chance for him to be the World Heavyweight Champion for the company. It would be the true achievement for his career.)
(Suddenly we see Darren Maddox slowly walk into Jamo's locker room, the ICW world title belt draped over his shoulder. He stops and looks at Jamo with a serious expression on his face.)
Darren Maddox: Well it's finally here....Your big opportunity to try to take this world title away from me. I'm sure you're all ready for our match tonight. But then again....so am I.
Darren Maddox: You've wanted to take my title away from me for quite some time now. But I'm here to tell you, this match is by no means gonna be easy for you. Not at all...
(Jamo gets up while seeing Darren’s face showing a serious expression. Jamo looked back to Darren with a serious look on his face.)
Jamo: Me too Darren, I’m ready for our match again since last time I was with a psycho gimmick. You were the better man while you got the better advantage while your kid got worried about me to cause a disqualification. Now before we have our match, I would like to reintroduce myself. My name is Jamo, the real Jamo and not anyone gimmick, just real me. You’ll be up for a serious fight mate.
(Jamo puts on his own sunglasses, then extends his hand for a handshake and showing a sign of respect.)
Jamo: No matter what happens tonight, if I win or lose, or you win or lose, I’m proud to call you as my new friend not because you're Maverick’s father, but because I respect the hell out of you. When this is over, if you ever come to be outnumbered or any trouble, feel free to ask me mate ‘cause I’ll stick my nose where it doesn’t belong and that’s who I am ‘cause I don’t give two shits about what trouble I’ll be in and for that anyone will be easily outnumbered by me.
(Darren looks down at Jamo's extended hand, however Darren refuses the handshake, and instead he confidently readjusts his title belt on his shoulder.)
Darren Maddox: I will not shake your hand. Once this match is over, then perhaps I might, but right now, not a chance because I still don't fully trust you. But I will say this... I do believe that you are not out to hurt Maverick and would protect him whenever necessary. I think your friendship towards him is the real deal. For a long time, I doubted your friendship with him was genuine, but not anymore.
Darren Maddox: As for you and I being friends....that just can't happen right now. I know you have a ton of respect for me as you've always said that to me many times before. Well....I will admit that yes, I've come to respect you as well after seeing how well you have been to Maverick. He absolutely adores you and loves you, so I'm telling you right now, I'm putting you on firm notice. You better not EVER hurt Maverick, or else I will not hesitate to come after you.
Darren Maddox: But I'm sure you already know that.
(There is all seriousness in Darren's voice as he stands there keeping focused on Jamo.)
(Jamo nods knowing that Darren rejects the handshake and Jamo respects it.)
Jamo: Darren, I still always know that ‘cause you tell me every time. I will not hurt your son and I always stood by your word.
(Jamo folded his arms to show how he truly understands Darren’s warning.)
Jamo: I would like to ask you a huge question right now and give me a truth answer. Better not lie to me, I’ve come from a family who doesn’t like liars ‘cause if you tell me a lying answer, then I won’t leave it alone until you give me a true answer.
(Darren squints his eyes a bit as he wonders what Jamo's question will be.)
Jamo: Darren, are there any injuries you have right now, ‘cause I don’t want to be the man who ended your career to make your boy get angry at me. The reason I’m asking you ‘cause I don’t want to make your son upset and angry at me while I face you for that world title. Also, I don’t want to be the guy who ended your career. Think before you answer my question and remember, no lying answers ‘cause I’ll know if you’re lying Darren.
(Darren starts to chuckle a bit at Jamo asking if he has any injuries.)
Darren Maddox: Trying to get me to expose any weaknesses I might have to you? A smart move Jamo, but I'm not a fool. The last thing I would do is tell you any injuries I might have, IF I had any. My career isn't ending anytime soon, so you need not worry about that.
(Jamo gets a bit frustrated when Darren finds my question funny to him.)
Jamo: No I’m not going to exploit your f@#kin’ weakness mate, but if you want to know mine then I’ll give you some of mine. Burned back while my brother power bomb me through a fiery table, torn right ACL Knee but already had knee reconstruction surgery and major surgery on my right side of my face to get the benign tumor off. Also, nice huge scar on my left leg that the surgeons had to access to put the new bone in my face. There you go. Use them to exploit my f@#kin’ weakness.
(Jamo pauses before continuing.)
Jamo: There is something I wanted to say about what happened at the PPV while we were facing team SFT. During the match when you got eliminated first that you tapped out. I know that there is something wrong with you, but I know you fought well in that match Darren. I’m not trying to fool you to exploit your weakness, so if you’re not going to tell me then don’t say that I didn’t warn you that I could make your son angry and upset at me for making your injury pain worse.
(Darren keeps silent for a moment as he keeps his eyes on Jamo's.)
Darren Maddox: And just what makes you think there's something wrong with me? I mean, take a good look at me Jamo. Does it LOOK like I'm in any pain to you? I would love to know what you're basing this injury theory of yours on. So enlighten me. Tell me what makes you think I'm hurt in any way. Just because I tapped out at Bad Abundance doesn't mean I'm injured.
(Jamo has a serious look.)
Jamo: I know it’s your back Darren. You can’t fool me mate. That’s what worries me mate.
(After Jamo said that, Darren stands there quiet. Jamo was right. Darren is in terrible pain with his back, but doesn't want anyone to know about it, especially Jamo who is the challenger to his world title. After a few moments, Darren finally speaks, fully denying the back injury.)
Darren Maddox: You don't know what you're talking about. You are so off base with this theory. But you go ahead and believe what you wanna believe if it helps you to think that you stand a chance against me tonight. I'll see you later for our match when I BEAT you and retain my world title.
(Darren turns and leaves Jamo's locker room. Jamo stands there in disappointment that Darren did not tell him the truth.)
[IN THE RING]
Sara Butler: Guys, is Darren really hiding that there’s something wrong with his back.
Harley Meisner: I think that’s true because Darren shouldn’t be revealing his weakness to his opponent especially when you are defending a World Title against one of your worst enemies.
George Sullivan: Or maybe he is trying to trick Commissioner so he can cancel or postpone his match.
Singles Match
Destiny Hunter vs. Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez
(If Jennifer wins, she will join Women’s Title match at WrestleCade)
Up, Up and away" from Kid Cudi starts playing on the PA systems, Jenn makes her way from the back. She stands on the stage for a few seconds with a smile on her face, looking over the crowd.
Rick Henderson: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first from Los Angeles, California, accompanied by Kayla Stone.. Jennnifer Carpenter-LOPEZ!!
Harley Meisner: After Kayla Stone visits the Commissioner’s office earlier tonight, Jennifer is officially on a road to WrestleCade IF she happens to win her match tonight against Destiny Hunter.
Sara Butler: Look at the confidence on her face, Harley.
She starts walking down the ramp with confidence. While doing so, she high fives a few fans that are sitting in the front row, and people that are stretching their arms for a high five. She climbs into the ring and waits. The song I Bring The Darkness (End of Days) by Tommy Vext starts to blast over the PA system. When the lead singer sings..I Bring The Darkness..That is when the beautiful " Lady Huntress" Destiny Hunter starts to come on out to the ring.
Rick Henderson: Her opponent from Richmond, Virginia, she is one-half of the World Tag Team Champions, Destiny HUNTERRR!!!
Hunter happily smiles but this time she avoided doing high fives with the nearby fans due to the coronavirus situation. She goes to the ring and goes through the ring ropes, going straight to the turnbuckle and posing to the fans before she jumps back to the corner and stares down at her opponent.
George Sullivan: Look, I will be perfectly honest with you; Jennifer is accompanied by Kayla Stone here. Where in the HELL is Candace to back her partner up?
Sara Butler: Correction George, Kayla isn’t a backup partner to Jennifer but rather she is more like a manager. You see that in all kinds of wrestling matches. Brock Lesnar got Paul Heyman to his side doesn’t mean that Lesnar seeks Heyman’s help.
George Sullivan: Well, Brock almost lost the WWE Championship to Edge back in 2002 at WWE Rebellions if it wasn’t for Paul Heyman.
*DING DING DING*
Referee calls for the bell after checking on both women. Destiny immediately big boots Destiny down. Destiny grabs her leg, but Jenn pushes Hunter and immediately gets away by rolling herself outside the ring. Destiny invites her to the ring, but on the other hand Jennifer calls her to the ringside. Destiny obliges, and they start brawling.
Sara Butler: Destiny better be beating this woman if she wants to lone hunt the champion.
Harley Meisner: That's right! Because if Jennifer wins, and even though Destiny is still destined for the Women's Title match, Jennifer will be a 50% disadvantage.
Sara Butler: But 50% is still gonna be advantageous for her, Harley, I mean Destiny won't have to pin Lacey to win the Women's Title.
George Sullivan: You guys need to stop day-dreaming and focus on the match.
Destiny Hunter clotheslined Jennifer Lopez near the ring and made her land on the apron. But Lopez makes a comeback after she blocked Destiny's punch and delivers a side-kick to the jaw. Sending Hunter to the other side of the ring holding her face. Lopez jumps in, goes for the clothesline but Hunter ducks, Lopez hits the ropes and comes back with a Crossbody, taking Destiny down.
1..
2..
Destiny kicks out at two.
Harley Meisner: Whoo! She is saved but not sure for how long.
Both women immediately get to their feet, Jenn swings right hand at Destiny but Destiny ducks and kicks on Jenn's knee and then pulls her leg by holding her shin with both hands. Lopez is down as Hunter turns her around and grabs her into an Ankle Lock. Jennifer starts to scream out loud and struggles to get to the ropes in order to do the rope break. But Destiny keeps pulling her back in the middle of the ring.
Sara Butler: Fight it Jennifer! Fight it! Whatever you do, fight for this.
George Sullivan: What the hell is Kayla doing here.
The referee was busy asking Jennifer if she wanted to quit or continue and Jennifer kept refusing to give up and waited for some advantage in order to counter the move. In the meantime, Kayla Stone approaches the time-keeper area and snatches the World Tag Team title from the announcer and climbs on the ring apron in order to distract the referee. Destiny unlocks the hold and swings her hand right at Kayla but Kayla jumps off of the apron to avoid the punch.
George Sullivan: How dare you hurt a nice lady, Destiny?
Sara Butler: Destiny did nothing. She jumped herself in order to avoid the punch.
Kayla landed badly on her feet or more like she is pretending that she landed bad and hurts her ankle which also distracts the referee even more. On the other side Jennifer turns Destiny around and locks her into her finisher, Northern Light Suplex but Destiny amazingly counters it into Hunter’s Lock and successfully connects. Destiny hooks up Jennifer’s leg.
Harley Meisner: Come on ref! Turn around!..
The ref is outside checking on Kayla Stone and calling the EMTs to check on her. Jennifer slowly gets up inside the ring while Destiny is still being distracted because the referee was busy helping Kayla. In the meantime, Candace hits the ring out of nowhere from the ramp and she launches a big kick to Jennifer Lopez but Jennifer ducks and the kicks seriously hurts Destiny Hunter instead. Candace standing near the ropes and sorry-ing Destiny for what she did.
George Sullivan: Devil-incarnate! First she drowned Team SFT at Bad Abundance and now her own partner?
Harley Meisner: That is a pure accident, George.
Jennifer dropkicked Candace which sends her outside the ring. The EMTs arrive to check on Kayla as the referee gets back inside the ring not knowing what just happened there. Jennifer picks up Destiny and successfully connects her with a Northern Light Suplex..

THREEE!!
*DING DING DING*
George Sullivan: Never trust two things; Serpent and Candace.
Rick Henderson: Here is your winner.. Jennifer Carpenter-LOPEZ!!!
Harley Meisner: Congratulations, Jenn! You are now one win away to earn your first Women’s Title.
Kayla Stone who was being checked by the EMTs immediately gets up and pushes the technician away telling them that she is fine and doesn’t need any help. She jumps inside the ring and raises Jennifer’s hand and does a mockery about her fake-injury angle. The scene then leads to the commercial.
WINNER: Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez by pinfall.
[COMMERCIAL BREAK]
(Maverick Maddox has just arrived to see Jamo in his locker room. The little boy has come here with much worry on his young mind.)
Maverick Maddox: I found out something that I think you need to know before fighting my Dad tonight.
Jamo: Oh? What is it Maverick?
Maverick Maddox: I found out from my Dad that he's in a lot of back pain. I don't want him to get hurt any more than what he is.
Jamo: Yes I know about his back being injured.
Maverick Maddox: How did you find out?
Jamo: I found out on my own when I saw your Dad tap out at the pay per view. I was sure there was something very wrong with him for him to tap out like that.
Maverick Maddox: I know you have to go and do your best against my Dad tonight to win and I understand it. But can you please just go easy on his back?
Jamo: Do not worry Maverick. I am not out to end your father's career. I have too much respect for him to do that. I am only out to win the title. But I would not purposely hurt your father's back just to end him or his career. I know that would upset you very much and I will not do that to you.
Maverick Maddox: I trust you and I know you're a real friend to me. I know you wouldn't wanna be responsible for ending my Dad's career. Do whatever you want in the match, but please just don't go after his back. I thought you should know ahead of time.
Jamo: I already know Mav, and don't worry, I will take care of it. Thank you for coming to see me about this little buddy! No need to worry!
(The boy gives Jamo a smile and Jamo smiles back to him.)
[BACKSTAGE]
Robert Saints walks down the hallway with sneaky steps and looks nervous while holding the strap of Payne Championship in his hand. When suddenly he stopped by Travis Hall who sort of scared him but then high five him on his victory for the Payne title even though he had to run through his own member of the faction. Travis gives Robert a bottle of champagne in order to celebrate his casual victory. Robert ignores the celebration call and prefer to walk away from the scene before he gets caught by someone else. Suddenly Travis Halls smacks the bottle of champagne right at the back of Saints head and knocks him down. He calls in a nearby referee and covers Saints.

World Heavyweight Championship
Singles Re-Match
Darren Maddox © vs. Jamo
Lights in the arena went out then Titantron played a video being scared of someone about to break in her house and started panicking to find a place to hide. The criminal man begins to break into the women’s house then Jamo is standing behind the criminal man while Jamo hides in the shadows carrying a sawed off shotgun and Jamo follows him. The police phone operator will say “911 what’s your emergency?” Then the woman who replied back will say “someone is breaking in my house to kill me.... please help” and the police phone operator will reply back saying “where abouts inside the house are you, help will be on the way.” Woman says “Please hurry I’m in my bedroom closet, hurry please I’m going to be dead soon.” Criminal man opens the bedroom closet with an evil smirk then the woman screams and I appear beside the criminal man loaded up the gun beside his head and say “Get f@&ked mate” then the shots echo the arena.
George Sullivan: Guys this is too big for me to handle. Sara, please dial 911.
Sara Butler: Relax, George that’s just a teaser on the screen.
Chin Check by N.W.A music hits the arena and the lights synced with the music. Jamo shows up wearing long black tights with a shotgun logo on both sides, black knee pads, black wrestling boots, black jacket, black MMA gloves and black sunglasses.
Harley Meisner: Jamo?! With a new gimmick already?
Walking down the ramp slowly, high five few fans and kids in the air with almost a foot distance, slides in to get on the ring, climbs up the turnbuckle and taunts the bullet club. "The Second Coming" by CFO starts to play around the arena and Darren Maddox comes walking out from the back and stands on the stage looking out at the fans who are cheering for him. He makes his way down the ramp and climbs into the ring.
George Sullivan: I can see the limp in Darren’s walk but that limp doesn’t look too legit. Trust me, he is a good actor.
Maddox starts jumping up and down to pump himself up for the match. He keeps a serious expression. He unbuckles his championship belt and stares it for a good few seconds.
Rick Henderson: The following contest is scheduled for one-fall and it is for the World Heavyweight Championship. Introducing first, the challenger from Sydney, Australia, weighing in at 292 pounds, JAMO!!!!
Jamo poses to the crowd with his new looks, attitude and gestures and receives the mixed reaction as Henderson proceeds to introduce Jamo’s opponent.
Rick Henderson: His opponent from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 217 pounds.. He is the current ICW World Heavyweight Champion… Darren MADOXX!!!
The crowd started cheering and now clapping for both men as the referee shows the World Title to the camera before he proceeds to check on both men and then calls for the bell.
*DING DING DING*
Sara Butler: George, I know you got a whole lot of the conspiracy theory going on with you but listening through the conversation of Maverick I am damn sure that a father won’t lie to his kid. Darren isn’t in the best shape.
Harley Meisner: I agree with Sara and I can guaran-damn-tee about it.
Jamo and Darren go for a traditional lockup until Jamo grapples on Maddox’s right forearm, twists it to turn his body around and smacks his elbow right in the middle of his back which makes Maddox scream in pain and falls directly on his knees. The referee immediately interjects and asks Darren if he is really okay to proceed further and Darren nods his head lightly and pushes the referee away and beckoning Jamo to come and take on him.
George Sullivan: Did you just see that? He is better at acting than wrestling.
Harley Meisner: Would you mind shutting your mouth for a while George.
George Sullivan: Learn to digest the truth, Harley!
Jamo shrugs his shoulders and doesn't wait to continue his attack on the champion. He picks Darren up and throws him on the other side of the ring via Stalling Suplex. Jamo walks up to Darren and covers him. The referee counts.

Sara Butler: The guy is literally enjoying dishing out carnage on the champion.
Jamo deliberately raises Darren’s shoulder up and starts laughing like a maniac. He picks Darren up and babbles something to his face and knocks him with the right hand. Darren gets to the corner, leans his back on the Darren buckle to catch up some breath. Jamo nails a big knee into Darren’s rib followed by a couple of punches until he lifts Darren up and makes him sit on the top turnbuckle. Jamo, wasting no time climbs himself on the second ropes, draping Darren’s arm on his shoulders and delivers a massive Suplex from the top rope.
Harley Meisner: Jamo is DELIBERATELY attacking Darren’s back.
George Sullivan: Whether his back was hurt before or not but it sure is gonna hurt after the beating Jamo is giving him in the ring right now.
Darren Maddox rolls inside the ring, bending his back out of pain and kicks his feet on the ring mat. Jamo quickly gets up and walks to where the champ was lying but the referee again this time intervenes and starts checking on Maddox and asks him again if he needs some medical attention and prefers to disqualify himself. Darren struggles to respond back but his response is still in no as he grabs the nearby ropes in order to pick himself up. Darren leaning his back on the second turnbuckle.
Harley Meisner: Will Darren be able to retain his title or is it really Jamo’s night? We will find it out after a short commercial break.
[COMMERCIAL BREAK]
The scene comes back from the commercial break live from the Tacoma Dome arena where the bout for the World Championship is underway. Suddenly a footage from backstage starts playing where Travis Deacon Hall, the reigning ICW Payne Champion is seen standing somewhere in the building near the elevator and waiting for it to open.
George Sullivan: What? Why is this guy supposed to interrupt such an amazing match?
As soon as the lift is opened Travis finds the referee standing inside the elevator which makes him quite confused as to whether he should step inside the lift or not. When out of a sudden Colt Knox comes from behind and throws Travis Hall inside the elevator by his neck which makes Travis' head sound being smacked really hard. Colt Knox covers the champion as the referee inside the lift counts for the pinfall.

NEW ICW Payne Champion, Colt Knox!
[IN THE RING]
Harley Meisner: You gotta be kidding me. Guys, he just debuted the company and already became two time Payne Champion. What an impression!
The scene switches back inside the ring where Jamo is still seen struggling with Maddox on the turnbuckle and it seems like he is now going to apply another offensive move in order to mark himself the World Champion at any cost.
Sara Butler: Colt found his way out but what does Jamo have to do to beat the World Champion? He keeps coming back, guys!
Jamo walks up to him and again locks his head, draping his arm and this time he delivers a T-Bone Suplex on him which almost breaks him in a half. Darren lying down almost seemed knocked out. Jamo gives an evil grin on his face, seeing the World Champion lying in the middle of the ring as a helpless creature. He hooks up his leg and covers.

Jamo AGAIN intentionally breaks the pinfall of his own by raising Maddox’s head by pulling his hairs. The challenger picks up the champ, still holding him by the back of his hairs and knocks his head to all four turnbuckles until Darren loses more of his energy and gets a lot weaker this time. Jamo showing no remorse, picks up the reigning champion but before Jamo could launch his another move Darren pulls the challenger’s right arm in between his two and makes him fall down on his face and locks him into a Crippler Crossface. Jamo struggles to reach to the rope while Darren keeps the pressure on.
Sara Butler: What an amazing counter by Darren.
George Sullivan: Fight it Jamo! Fight it!! Whatever you do, fight for this.
Jamo keeps struggling until he turns his body over Darren’s back is lying on the mat, shoulders down. The referee counts..

Darren again moves off of his back, back again in the same position and keeps Jamo locked in the Crippler Crossface. Jamo after realizing that he can’t reach the ropes, he scuffles a little and gets to his knee, lifting Darren up and deliberately falls on his backside which hurts Darren’s back even more and turns out to be like a golden key to unlock the Crossface. Jamo moves away, catches some breath and then immediately gets his hands on the champion.
Harley Meisner: Smart move by the challenger here. I hope Darren is okay, but I can hardly predict this man retaining his title tonight except for disqualification.
Jamo, wasting no time, picks up Maddox gestures for his finisher Killshot (Powerbomb Lungblower) and connects it successfully right in the middle of the ring. The challenger covers his champion, double assuring that his both shoulders are down and also hooked up his both legs as the ref counts.
George Sullivan: Rest in peace, Darren! Title reign!

.. THREE ..!!!
*DING DING DING*
Rick Henderson: The winner of this match.. And NEWWWW… ICW World Heavyweight Champion.. JAMOO!!!!
Sara Butler: The dream came true for this man. But most importantly I am more concerned about Darren Maddox.
The referee walks to Jamo to present him with the World Championship who snatches it from the ref in a rude manner and raises his high above his head with his both hands and screams out loud “I AM THE CHAMPION!”. Jamo is joined by his wife Steph, his brother Andrew as well as his good friend The Enforcer for the celebration. Andrew and Enforcer lifts Jamo up on their shoulders as some pyros break out on the entrance stage to end the show.
Harley Meisner: Well guys this is indeed one of the HISTORICAL weekly show ICW could ever had. This is almost like a pay-per-view but this is indeed not the end. There is a lot more to explore and it will definitely be explored on Monday Night Carnage.
Sara Butler: That's right! Thank you for tuning in to the show. Maintain the distance, keep washing your hands until we see you next time.
George Sullivan: Is somebody gonna check on Darren guys? Maybe I was too harsh at him during the show.
WINNER: NEW ICW World Heavyweight Champion, Jamo by pinfall.
[END OF THE SHOW]
The show begins with some highlights from the mainevent of Bad Abundance pay-per-view where the whole team SFT came heavy on Trisha Wolfe and Candace after the elimination of all ICW male participants. Both women manage to eliminate three SFT guys. Rumpke eliminated himself after taking care of Trisha Wolfe. Redd and Candace came face to face with various encounters until Redd stood tall at the end as the sole survivor for his team.
Harley Meisner: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Friday Night Thunder, I am your host Harley Meisner and joining me on the table are my colleagues as usual George Sullivan and Sara Butler.
Sara Butler: We are live, from Tacoma Dome with a sold out crowd of ONLY 2,000 people maintaining social distance due to this outraged plague known as Coronavirus.
George Sullivan: Maintaining social distance is one thing but how would anyone maintain social distance while wrestling a match?
[BACKSTAGE]
(The show goes to backstage where we see 21 year old ICW diva Greta Mace sitting in one of the arena lounge rooms looking worried about something. Her manager Ridley walks by the doorway and out of the corner of his eye he sees Greta sitting alone in the room. He stops and turns around and goes into the room to talk to her.)
Ridley: Congrats to you and Andrew on that tag team win at Bad Abundance. You and him did the ICW team proud. I'm surprised to see you here tonight. You're not booked.
Greta Mace: Well I could ask you the same thing since you're my manager and I'm not booked. What are you doing here?
(He smiles.)
Ridley: Fair point. Just some usual business to take care of with management. What about you, but I think I already have an idea why you're here. Something to do with Darren Maddox perhaps?
(She gives a shy smile.)
Greta Mace: Yes. He's the reason I'm here tonight.
Ridley: Ahhh. You look, I don't know, concerned. What's on your mind?
(She takes a deep breath.)
Greta Mace: I really think that something's going on with Darren. He tapped out at the pay per view and that's just not like him.
Ridley: I would have to agree with you from what I know about him. Doesn't seem the kind of guy to do that. Maybe you should ask him if he's okay?
Greta Mace: I don't know. I don't want to pry or anything.
Ridley: Wouldn't be prying honey. You're his friend. You would only be asking because you care a lot about him and want to know if there's something wrong so you can help him if you can.
Greta Mace: He and Lycra have been so kind to me. They are the only ones besides The Enforcer who has really welcomed me to ICW when I first got here. Enforcer has been such a mentor to me, just like you have Ridley. But with Darren, it's different. It's just that...I still love him in my own way. I know he doesn't feel the same about me the way I do for him, but at least he wants to remain my friend. Any other guy would have said hit the road, but not Darren. He's a very special man. I can't help it if I still love him. Lycra understands and I'm thankful for that. I would never want them to break up, not ever. They are so happy together with a child on the way. I'm so happy for them. But, I just want to be here for him as a friend if there is something wrong with him.
Ridley: Then honey, you need to go to him and ask him flat out if he needs your help.
(She waits and thinks about it.)
Greta Mace: Yeah. I think I need to because deep down I know there's something wrong. I will ask him, but not tonight. He has enough on him with this title match against Jamo. That's why I'm here tonight. To show my support for Darren.
Ridley: You are a true and loyal friend.
Greta Mace: Darren will win tonight. I know he will. I believe in him. I always will.
(The show goes to ringside.)
[IN THE RING]
"Rest In Peace" By Jim Johnson as ICW Payne Champion, The Enforcer makes his way out from the entrance stage with the Payne title in his right hand. He stops at the beginning of the ramp and raises his title high above his head which adds a thunderbolt to his theme song.
Harley Meisner: Ladies & Gentlemen this is the Enforcer, the man who defeated Jay Impact a couple of weeks ago in order to successfully capture Payne championship in a Casket match.
The Enforcer then lowers the title, making his way toward the ring when suddenly he gets smacked out of the blue with a chair shot by someone who jumped in from the crowd. The Enforcer falls on his chest first, drops the Payne title but tries to get back to his feet until he receives another shot by that person right on his back .
George Sullivan: Who the hell is that?
Sara Butler: It's COLT KNOX!
George Sullivan: Who knocked?
Harley Meisner: The man who introduced himself through the ICW Scout during an ICW Press Conference a few hours back. I never thought that he would dare to knock our Payne champion down.
Colt Knox wasting no time grapples The Enforcer from behind and smashes his head right at the barricade to weaken the champion. Colt forcefully takes off Enforcer’s leather coat and hits a running knee strike at him to knock him fully down. Colt then motions toward the backstage and calls for the referee as a referee makes his way out approaches the scene. Knox picks The Enforcer up and locks him in his finisher but The Enforcer pushes Knox away and knocks him down with a shorthand clothesline.
Sara Butler: Knox’s dream of winning the Payne title has just been shattered into pieces.
George Sullivan: He might have been clotheslined Sara, but you cannot call it a shattering of dream.
Knox is down as the Enforcer gets back to his knees to recover himself and breathes heavily. Knox makes his way back to his feet before the Enforcer and picks up the chair that he popped up with. He hits the chair right again at The Enforcer but this time on his head as the champion is knocked out. The rookie covers the champion aiming to win his first ICW belt as the referee counts.

Harley Meisner: He has got it! Knox is the new Payne Champion.
Sara Butler: Good lord!!!!
Colt Knox grabs the Payne Championship and runs backstage leaving the ICW fans in the stadium and at home in wonder of what just happened. The scene moves to the backstage.
NEW ICW Payne Champion, Colt Knox!
[BACKSTAGE]
(The scene switches backstage to see Kayla Stone, who said she wasn’t going to be at this show for health reasons, is seen by the commish’s door. Decked out in mask and gloves to keep herself from catching this deadly virus with her immune system the way it is, she knocks softly on the commish’s door before walking into his office.)
Kayla Stone: Commish! Just the person I wanted to see.
(She takes a seat at one of his chairs. He tries to speak but she shakes her head politely.)
Kayla: Stone: no, no. Let me talk, please.
(Commish nods his head, and she lets him know with a soft nod.)
Kayla Stone: I know I said I wasn’t going to be here for health reasons, and you know why, everybody knows why at this point. But I’m here for the girls. See, these girls are here for a reason, championships. Yeah, I know a new company, you gotta work your way up but at the same time, Gracie and Jenn aren’t rookies.
(Kayla nods her head, she has a smile but it can’t be seen with the mask on.)
Kayla Stone: I’m not here to yell or tell you how to do your job, but I just think you should consider putting them in championship matches. They’ve been champions everywhere they have been. I can tell you first had they dominated both the men’s and women’s divisions, yes both were in the men’s division and dominated.
(Kayla chuckles to herself slightly)
Kayla Stone: I know we have a tight bond between all of us, but Gracie and Jenn can and will wrestle each other if needed. They did it before and they can do it again. I bet this is one of the most pleasant convos you had, I bet most people who see you throw things around, name call and do whatever. I guess in a way, I’m demanding a championship match for Jenn and/or Gracie but at the same time, I’m being respectful with it. I know the girls could have come in here and did the same thing but they’re not friendly with management, but after they were treated in the last place they worked, you’d be the same way too.
(Kayla leans back in the chair with a nod of a head once again.)
Kayla Stone: But I’d like to hear what you have to say too.
(Commissioner responds back to Kayla’s demand after patiently listening to her)
Commissioner: Kayla, to be honest with you I haven’t got a chance to scrutinize the whole lot about the girls but I have watched their matches and there is no iota of doubt that they’ve got the potential. At the same time I think they won’t find enough difficulty making names for themselves in this company as long as they do what they are ought to do.
(Commissioner leans back and cross the fingers of his both hands)
Commissioner: I see Gracie has some unfinished business with Greta Mace and that business needs to get settled at upcoming pay-per-view, WrestleCade II. Greta Mace will go one on one against Gracie Lopez in a .... Blindfold match. As for Jennifer, I cannot guarantee her the women’s title shot as Lacey Payne will be defending her Women’s Title against Destiny Hunter at WrestleCade. BUT.. if Jennifer beats Destiny tonight then she will be added to the bout making a Triple Threat Match for the Women’s Championship. Wish them a nice day from me.
(Commissioner smiles with a thumbs up gesture at Kayla as the scene moves back to the ringside)
[IN THE RING]
#1 Contendership for Tag Team Titles
Mixed Tag Team Match
Andrew & Steph vs. Christianna & Dark Tiger (Tiger Family)
Making Moves by Oh The Larceny plays in the arena as 7 feet tall Dark Tiger makes his way out alongside his daughter, Christianna Tiger. Christianna standing over 6 feet in height makes her way to the ring, backed up by her father and gets inside the ring.
Rick Henderson: The following contest is a mixed tag team match and scheduled for one-fall. Making their way to the ring, Dark Tiger and Christianna Tiger, The TIGER FAMILY!!
Sara Butler: Look at the size of this woman. I haven’t seen any woman with such a masculine height in ICW.
Lights go black out then a crazy laughter echoes in the arena then the lights come back to red, Andrew appears on the stage followed by his sister-in-law, Steph'. They walk down the ramp slowly until they reach near the apron talking to each other and making some work plan for the match.
Rick Henderson: And their opponents, Steph and JAMO!!!
Harley Meisner: Remember guys, Andrew is one of the guys who received the first ever victory for ICW against SFT after he and Greta Mace defeated Reno Destiny and Cassandra.
Members from the both teams stand in their respective corners and the match gets underway after the bell rings and the women from both sides get ready to kick off. Chrstiainna takes advantage of her size and tries to overcome Steph but Steph ducks and rolls out from underneath the Tiger’s legs, tackling her down from behind after nailing a push kick into her stomach. Chrstianna leans on the turnbuckle as Steph unloads some good right hands on her.
George Sullivan: Steph is looking to weaken her opponent from the very beginning of the match.
Chrstianna blocks Steph’s punches and aggressively pushes her back and knocks her down with a boot to her face. Christianna waits no time, covers Steph as the referee counts.

Two counts fall! Andrew claps for his partner from his corner as Christianna picks up her opponent and connects a suplex after keeping Steph’s body high in the air for a good 7-8 seconds. This creates an impact and shakes the ring and Christianna goes for another cover but this time it was a nearfall. Two and a half count as Steph kicks out to keep the match alive.
Sara Butler: Enforcer holding the Payne Title, Jamo wins the World Title tonight, Andrew & Steph advantages this match and wins the Tag Title at WrestleCade. Imagine the whole Demon Club gets customized with gold.
Christianna headlocks Steph from behind and locks her for some good seconds and almost paning her down toward unconsciousness until Steph partially gets to her knees and leans hard on her back which eventually hits Chrstianna even more as she breaks the lock. Steph quickly moves away, holds Christianna from behind and hits a German Suplex, turning it into a pinfall.

2 ½ …
Referee: TWO COUNT!
Harley Meisner: Oh mine! She almost had her.
Steph couldn’t believe it as Christianna moves away and tags in Dark Tiger which automatically forces Steph to tag in Andrew. After looking at the huge size of Tiger, Andrew hesitates a bit and leaves the ring from the bottom rope in order to play some mind games with him. The referee tries to call him back. Andrew gets inside the ring before the ref could start counting him out. Tiger approaches Andrew but Andrew again gets outside the ring, this time from the middle-rope.
George Sullivan: Come on, man! This is not how you win a fight.
Tiger exits the ring by going over the top rope as he was half way through it, Andrew pulls Tiger’s leg as it falls down on the apron and then on the mat outside after failing to manage balance. Andrew laughs at Tiger and starts stomping him outside the ring. Christianna comes in to aid her father but the ref jumps in between and stops her as well. This gave an advantage to team Andrew and Steph as Steph delivers a leg-drop to Tiger outside the ring before climbing back to her corner.
Harley Meisner: What is this? If a man is 7 feet tall doesn’t mean you would cheat to win a match.
Sara Butler: They are playing smart, Harley!
Andrew struggles to grab Tiger and then sends him inside the ring and covers.

Dark Tiger kicks out at two. Andrew sits on the top of his opponent and delivers some good punches on his forehead and goes for another cover the Tiger kicks out this time even faster than that. Andrew gets up and goes on the other side of the apron and motions for Phenomenal Forearm. The referee was looking at Andrew for his next move and stands exactly on the opposite side of where Steph is. Steph stealthy enters the ring from behind and follows her move Christianna also tries to enter but the referee sees her and tries to push her back.
George Sullivan: Come on, Ref, you are at the wrong side of the ring. Turn around!!
On the other side Steph grabs Dark Tiger from behind by holding his forearms at her best abilities. Andrew jumps on the top rope and flies in the air to deliver a forearm on Tiger’s head but at the last second Tiger unlocks Steph’s hold and moves aside which makes Andrew land straight on his partner delivering her an indeliberate signature move of her own husband. Andrew turns around and ends up eating Kick of Darkness (Running Yakuza Kick). Tiger covers Andrew.
Sara Butler: HOLY CRAP!!!! Andrew must be out.

THREE!!..!
*DING DING DING*
Rick Henderson: Here are your winners, Christianna and Dark TIGER!!!
Harley Meisner: That is going to be one of the unluckiest days for both Andrew and Steph.
The camera replays the scene several times where Andrew couldn’t perform his phenomenal forearm on Dark Tiger and ends up hurting his own partner and loses his advantage which helps Tiger Family to qualify themselves as new number one contenders for the tag team titles. Both father and daughter celebrate their victory as the scene switches for the commercial break.
WINNERS: Christianna & Dark Tiger via pinfall.
[COMMERCIAL BREAK]
Harley Meisner: Still to come ladies and gentlemen, our new SFT Intercontinental Champion, Jay Impact who single handedly defeated SFT’s own Reaper in order to take SFT IC title here in ICW. Another devastating victory for ICW at Bad Abundance.
The screen plays some of the highlights from Bad Abundance where Jay Impact is shown defeating Reaper in a Chairs match in order to capture the SFT Intercontinental Title after ICW Commissioner, Mike Flowers made the pinfall. The scene comes back from the highlight at backstage where Jay Impact is seen with the SFT Intercontinental Title in his hands right next to USPS 10x10 mailing carton.
Jay Impact: This is truly disturbing for me. I have been having nightmares all night long ever since I won the SFT Intercontinental Title. Even my late father came into my dream a few days ago and scolded me for having an SFT title belt around his waist. It was too heavy for me to grasp all that until I realized…
Jay pauses and looks at the SFT Intercontinental title before he continues.
Jay Impact: .. I realize that the whole belt itself reeks of garbageness. I mean look at the design of the belt and no wonder why people like Reaper who was reaped the reap out of him by a neo-Reaper a.k.a Jay Impact in Chairs Match, was the one to hold that championship. Both the holder and the title were an embarrassment for each other. Then it carries the name of the federation; SFT. Are you kidding me? Is that an abbreviation to Shitty Filthy Tiny-boo? Because this is how it reeks. Jay Impact made them IC-title-less federation. They should be naming their federation T.A.D.S - That's a DAMN shame.
Jay Impact nods his head with a smile, grabs the SFT IC Title and puts it inside the USPS carton.
Jay Impact: Joey, I am sending this pile of nothing back to you so you can put it on whoever shoulder’s you want to me. Or maybe strap it around your asses to make it coronavirused. But remember that I am still THE Intercontinental Champion. Next week, I am gonna reveal our version of IC Title, that says; ICW Intercontinental Championship.
Jay smirks and then hands over the mailing carton to some volunteer and instructs him to deliver it to SFT Headquarter as the scene switches to the ringside.
[IN THE RING]
Harley Meisner: Jay Impact came up with two breakings at one night. Not only did he send back the SFT Intercontinental Title belt back to SFT headquarters but he is also going to come up with another IC title that says ICW.
George Sullivan: I always had trust in that man. I wonder why he wasn’t part of the main event at Bad Abundance.
Ladies and Gentlemen by Saliva hits in the PA system as ICW Commissioner, Mike Flowers makes his way to the down the ramp until he gets inside the ring through the steel steps and is handed over the microphone by the one of the staff around the ring.
Sara Butler: Shhh! Time to listen to the boss.
Commissioner: I know what you all have been thinking right now. That’s right! I am here to make some special announcements regarding our next pay-per-view, WrestleCade.. Or let just say WrestleCade 2. It is almost an anniversary to ICW and ever since we came into the business our rosters are leaving incredible marks all over the road by making history and the Bad Abundance pay-per-view was not the full stop.
The fans all over the arena started chanting ICW's name.
George Sullivan: What does that mean? Is ICW going after another federation now?
Commissioner: First off all I would like to congratulate everyone from our rosters who showed the best out of them at Bad Abundance two weeks ago in order to keep the reputation for the company by bringing SFT down to their knees at some of the bouts. Guys like Andrew, Greta Mace, Don - who single handedly took care of five different men including two of them representing the SFT. Jay Impact, making history by coming home with an additional championship - the intercontinental title.
George Sullivan: I am still damn curious to see how our new IC title is gonna look like.
Commissioner lowers the microphone before he continues to talk.
Commissioner: Last but not least, I would like to congratulate Candace and Trisha Wolfe to do what other men couldn’t. You girls, even though you lost the match but you definitely won our hearts. Therefore, we will now begin our story from where we left. At WrestleCade ICW U.S. Champion Don will defend his title against Candace.. In a LAST MAN STANDING MATCH.
Sara Butler: Wait! We have a match between a man and a woman. Is this still going to be called the Last Man Standing match?
The fans from all over the arena start cheering as Commissioner continues the ICW Universe.
Commissioner: That’s not it, guys! Trisha Wolfe, I haven’t got something least for you either. You woman, are also going at WrestleCade against Jay Impact for his Intercontinental Championship match. How does that sound now?
Harley Meisner: Now this is what you call a reward.
The fans start cheering again and do “This is Awesome!” chants. All of a sudden Colt Knox comes out of the entrance stage and makes his way to the ring followed by ⅔ of the Outsiders, Robert Saints and The Crow alongside a referee. Colt, getting inside the ring, hides himself right behind the Commissioner as Saints and Crow surround and stalk him from both sides until Commissioner rolls himself out of the ring leaving no shade for Knox.
George Sullivan: Does ICW mean Hide’n Seek in any way?
Sara Butler: Den of wolves, stalking on the newbie.
Knox turns around to slip out but eats up a shuffle-side kick in between his right jaw and ear by The Crow who then covers him. The referee counts.

NEW Payne Champion: The Crow!
The Crow strip the Payne Title off of the Colt Knox’s waist as Robert Saints raises his hand in the air for few seconds until Saints shrugs his shoulder as pre-attack gesture and wastes no time knocking his own buddy down with a Viper Cutter (RKO) out of nowhere in the middle of the ring. Robert Saints covers the Crow.
Harley Meisner: Everyman for himself!

NEW Payne Champion: Robert Saints!
George Sullivan: Robert Saints now a two times Payne Champion?
Harley Meisner: Three times actually. He is one reign away to join Dean Andry and Jay Impact who have the most Payne wins so far.
Robert Saints quickly grabs the title after pinning his own buddy and leaves the ring, escaping through the barricade and mingling among the crowd and eventually disappearing among them in order to keep the stalkers away. The scene goes for another commercial break.
[COMMERCIAL BREAK]
(Inside his locker room we see Jamo preparing for his big world title match against ICW World Champion Darren Maddox. This match between these two men has been a long time coming, but tonight is the night that it will finally happen. Jamo realizes how important this match is for him. The chance for him to finally be at the top of ICW. The chance for him to be the World Heavyweight Champion for the company. It would be the true achievement for his career.)
(Suddenly we see Darren Maddox slowly walk into Jamo's locker room, the ICW world title belt draped over his shoulder. He stops and looks at Jamo with a serious expression on his face.)
Darren Maddox: Well it's finally here....Your big opportunity to try to take this world title away from me. I'm sure you're all ready for our match tonight. But then again....so am I.
Darren Maddox: You've wanted to take my title away from me for quite some time now. But I'm here to tell you, this match is by no means gonna be easy for you. Not at all...
(Jamo gets up while seeing Darren’s face showing a serious expression. Jamo looked back to Darren with a serious look on his face.)
Jamo: Me too Darren, I’m ready for our match again since last time I was with a psycho gimmick. You were the better man while you got the better advantage while your kid got worried about me to cause a disqualification. Now before we have our match, I would like to reintroduce myself. My name is Jamo, the real Jamo and not anyone gimmick, just real me. You’ll be up for a serious fight mate.
(Jamo puts on his own sunglasses, then extends his hand for a handshake and showing a sign of respect.)
Jamo: No matter what happens tonight, if I win or lose, or you win or lose, I’m proud to call you as my new friend not because you're Maverick’s father, but because I respect the hell out of you. When this is over, if you ever come to be outnumbered or any trouble, feel free to ask me mate ‘cause I’ll stick my nose where it doesn’t belong and that’s who I am ‘cause I don’t give two shits about what trouble I’ll be in and for that anyone will be easily outnumbered by me.
(Darren looks down at Jamo's extended hand, however Darren refuses the handshake, and instead he confidently readjusts his title belt on his shoulder.)
Darren Maddox: I will not shake your hand. Once this match is over, then perhaps I might, but right now, not a chance because I still don't fully trust you. But I will say this... I do believe that you are not out to hurt Maverick and would protect him whenever necessary. I think your friendship towards him is the real deal. For a long time, I doubted your friendship with him was genuine, but not anymore.
Darren Maddox: As for you and I being friends....that just can't happen right now. I know you have a ton of respect for me as you've always said that to me many times before. Well....I will admit that yes, I've come to respect you as well after seeing how well you have been to Maverick. He absolutely adores you and loves you, so I'm telling you right now, I'm putting you on firm notice. You better not EVER hurt Maverick, or else I will not hesitate to come after you.
Darren Maddox: But I'm sure you already know that.
(There is all seriousness in Darren's voice as he stands there keeping focused on Jamo.)
(Jamo nods knowing that Darren rejects the handshake and Jamo respects it.)
Jamo: Darren, I still always know that ‘cause you tell me every time. I will not hurt your son and I always stood by your word.
(Jamo folded his arms to show how he truly understands Darren’s warning.)
Jamo: I would like to ask you a huge question right now and give me a truth answer. Better not lie to me, I’ve come from a family who doesn’t like liars ‘cause if you tell me a lying answer, then I won’t leave it alone until you give me a true answer.
(Darren squints his eyes a bit as he wonders what Jamo's question will be.)
Jamo: Darren, are there any injuries you have right now, ‘cause I don’t want to be the man who ended your career to make your boy get angry at me. The reason I’m asking you ‘cause I don’t want to make your son upset and angry at me while I face you for that world title. Also, I don’t want to be the guy who ended your career. Think before you answer my question and remember, no lying answers ‘cause I’ll know if you’re lying Darren.
(Darren starts to chuckle a bit at Jamo asking if he has any injuries.)
Darren Maddox: Trying to get me to expose any weaknesses I might have to you? A smart move Jamo, but I'm not a fool. The last thing I would do is tell you any injuries I might have, IF I had any. My career isn't ending anytime soon, so you need not worry about that.
(Jamo gets a bit frustrated when Darren finds my question funny to him.)
Jamo: No I’m not going to exploit your f@#kin’ weakness mate, but if you want to know mine then I’ll give you some of mine. Burned back while my brother power bomb me through a fiery table, torn right ACL Knee but already had knee reconstruction surgery and major surgery on my right side of my face to get the benign tumor off. Also, nice huge scar on my left leg that the surgeons had to access to put the new bone in my face. There you go. Use them to exploit my f@#kin’ weakness.
(Jamo pauses before continuing.)
Jamo: There is something I wanted to say about what happened at the PPV while we were facing team SFT. During the match when you got eliminated first that you tapped out. I know that there is something wrong with you, but I know you fought well in that match Darren. I’m not trying to fool you to exploit your weakness, so if you’re not going to tell me then don’t say that I didn’t warn you that I could make your son angry and upset at me for making your injury pain worse.
(Darren keeps silent for a moment as he keeps his eyes on Jamo's.)
Darren Maddox: And just what makes you think there's something wrong with me? I mean, take a good look at me Jamo. Does it LOOK like I'm in any pain to you? I would love to know what you're basing this injury theory of yours on. So enlighten me. Tell me what makes you think I'm hurt in any way. Just because I tapped out at Bad Abundance doesn't mean I'm injured.
(Jamo has a serious look.)
Jamo: I know it’s your back Darren. You can’t fool me mate. That’s what worries me mate.
(After Jamo said that, Darren stands there quiet. Jamo was right. Darren is in terrible pain with his back, but doesn't want anyone to know about it, especially Jamo who is the challenger to his world title. After a few moments, Darren finally speaks, fully denying the back injury.)
Darren Maddox: You don't know what you're talking about. You are so off base with this theory. But you go ahead and believe what you wanna believe if it helps you to think that you stand a chance against me tonight. I'll see you later for our match when I BEAT you and retain my world title.
(Darren turns and leaves Jamo's locker room. Jamo stands there in disappointment that Darren did not tell him the truth.)
[IN THE RING]
Sara Butler: Guys, is Darren really hiding that there’s something wrong with his back.
Harley Meisner: I think that’s true because Darren shouldn’t be revealing his weakness to his opponent especially when you are defending a World Title against one of your worst enemies.
George Sullivan: Or maybe he is trying to trick Commissioner so he can cancel or postpone his match.
Singles Match
Destiny Hunter vs. Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez
(If Jennifer wins, she will join Women’s Title match at WrestleCade)
Up, Up and away" from Kid Cudi starts playing on the PA systems, Jenn makes her way from the back. She stands on the stage for a few seconds with a smile on her face, looking over the crowd.
Rick Henderson: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first from Los Angeles, California, accompanied by Kayla Stone.. Jennnifer Carpenter-LOPEZ!!
Harley Meisner: After Kayla Stone visits the Commissioner’s office earlier tonight, Jennifer is officially on a road to WrestleCade IF she happens to win her match tonight against Destiny Hunter.
Sara Butler: Look at the confidence on her face, Harley.
She starts walking down the ramp with confidence. While doing so, she high fives a few fans that are sitting in the front row, and people that are stretching their arms for a high five. She climbs into the ring and waits. The song I Bring The Darkness (End of Days) by Tommy Vext starts to blast over the PA system. When the lead singer sings..I Bring The Darkness..That is when the beautiful " Lady Huntress" Destiny Hunter starts to come on out to the ring.
Rick Henderson: Her opponent from Richmond, Virginia, she is one-half of the World Tag Team Champions, Destiny HUNTERRR!!!
Hunter happily smiles but this time she avoided doing high fives with the nearby fans due to the coronavirus situation. She goes to the ring and goes through the ring ropes, going straight to the turnbuckle and posing to the fans before she jumps back to the corner and stares down at her opponent.
George Sullivan: Look, I will be perfectly honest with you; Jennifer is accompanied by Kayla Stone here. Where in the HELL is Candace to back her partner up?
Sara Butler: Correction George, Kayla isn’t a backup partner to Jennifer but rather she is more like a manager. You see that in all kinds of wrestling matches. Brock Lesnar got Paul Heyman to his side doesn’t mean that Lesnar seeks Heyman’s help.
George Sullivan: Well, Brock almost lost the WWE Championship to Edge back in 2002 at WWE Rebellions if it wasn’t for Paul Heyman.
*DING DING DING*
Referee calls for the bell after checking on both women. Destiny immediately big boots Destiny down. Destiny grabs her leg, but Jenn pushes Hunter and immediately gets away by rolling herself outside the ring. Destiny invites her to the ring, but on the other hand Jennifer calls her to the ringside. Destiny obliges, and they start brawling.
Sara Butler: Destiny better be beating this woman if she wants to lone hunt the champion.
Harley Meisner: That's right! Because if Jennifer wins, and even though Destiny is still destined for the Women's Title match, Jennifer will be a 50% disadvantage.
Sara Butler: But 50% is still gonna be advantageous for her, Harley, I mean Destiny won't have to pin Lacey to win the Women's Title.
George Sullivan: You guys need to stop day-dreaming and focus on the match.
Destiny Hunter clotheslined Jennifer Lopez near the ring and made her land on the apron. But Lopez makes a comeback after she blocked Destiny's punch and delivers a side-kick to the jaw. Sending Hunter to the other side of the ring holding her face. Lopez jumps in, goes for the clothesline but Hunter ducks, Lopez hits the ropes and comes back with a Crossbody, taking Destiny down.

Destiny kicks out at two.
Harley Meisner: Whoo! She is saved but not sure for how long.
Both women immediately get to their feet, Jenn swings right hand at Destiny but Destiny ducks and kicks on Jenn's knee and then pulls her leg by holding her shin with both hands. Lopez is down as Hunter turns her around and grabs her into an Ankle Lock. Jennifer starts to scream out loud and struggles to get to the ropes in order to do the rope break. But Destiny keeps pulling her back in the middle of the ring.
Sara Butler: Fight it Jennifer! Fight it! Whatever you do, fight for this.
George Sullivan: What the hell is Kayla doing here.
The referee was busy asking Jennifer if she wanted to quit or continue and Jennifer kept refusing to give up and waited for some advantage in order to counter the move. In the meantime, Kayla Stone approaches the time-keeper area and snatches the World Tag Team title from the announcer and climbs on the ring apron in order to distract the referee. Destiny unlocks the hold and swings her hand right at Kayla but Kayla jumps off of the apron to avoid the punch.
George Sullivan: How dare you hurt a nice lady, Destiny?
Sara Butler: Destiny did nothing. She jumped herself in order to avoid the punch.
Kayla landed badly on her feet or more like she is pretending that she landed bad and hurts her ankle which also distracts the referee even more. On the other side Jennifer turns Destiny around and locks her into her finisher, Northern Light Suplex but Destiny amazingly counters it into Hunter’s Lock and successfully connects. Destiny hooks up Jennifer’s leg.
Harley Meisner: Come on ref! Turn around!..
The ref is outside checking on Kayla Stone and calling the EMTs to check on her. Jennifer slowly gets up inside the ring while Destiny is still being distracted because the referee was busy helping Kayla. In the meantime, Candace hits the ring out of nowhere from the ramp and she launches a big kick to Jennifer Lopez but Jennifer ducks and the kicks seriously hurts Destiny Hunter instead. Candace standing near the ropes and sorry-ing Destiny for what she did.
George Sullivan: Devil-incarnate! First she drowned Team SFT at Bad Abundance and now her own partner?
Harley Meisner: That is a pure accident, George.
Jennifer dropkicked Candace which sends her outside the ring. The EMTs arrive to check on Kayla as the referee gets back inside the ring not knowing what just happened there. Jennifer picks up Destiny and successfully connects her with a Northern Light Suplex..
1..
2..
THREEE!!
*DING DING DING*
George Sullivan: Never trust two things; Serpent and Candace.
Rick Henderson: Here is your winner.. Jennifer Carpenter-LOPEZ!!!
Harley Meisner: Congratulations, Jenn! You are now one win away to earn your first Women’s Title.
Kayla Stone who was being checked by the EMTs immediately gets up and pushes the technician away telling them that she is fine and doesn’t need any help. She jumps inside the ring and raises Jennifer’s hand and does a mockery about her fake-injury angle. The scene then leads to the commercial.
WINNER: Jennifer Carpenter-Lopez by pinfall.
[COMMERCIAL BREAK]
(Maverick Maddox has just arrived to see Jamo in his locker room. The little boy has come here with much worry on his young mind.)
Maverick Maddox: I found out something that I think you need to know before fighting my Dad tonight.
Jamo: Oh? What is it Maverick?
Maverick Maddox: I found out from my Dad that he's in a lot of back pain. I don't want him to get hurt any more than what he is.
Jamo: Yes I know about his back being injured.
Maverick Maddox: How did you find out?
Jamo: I found out on my own when I saw your Dad tap out at the pay per view. I was sure there was something very wrong with him for him to tap out like that.
Maverick Maddox: I know you have to go and do your best against my Dad tonight to win and I understand it. But can you please just go easy on his back?
Jamo: Do not worry Maverick. I am not out to end your father's career. I have too much respect for him to do that. I am only out to win the title. But I would not purposely hurt your father's back just to end him or his career. I know that would upset you very much and I will not do that to you.
Maverick Maddox: I trust you and I know you're a real friend to me. I know you wouldn't wanna be responsible for ending my Dad's career. Do whatever you want in the match, but please just don't go after his back. I thought you should know ahead of time.
Jamo: I already know Mav, and don't worry, I will take care of it. Thank you for coming to see me about this little buddy! No need to worry!
(The boy gives Jamo a smile and Jamo smiles back to him.)
[BACKSTAGE]
Robert Saints walks down the hallway with sneaky steps and looks nervous while holding the strap of Payne Championship in his hand. When suddenly he stopped by Travis Hall who sort of scared him but then high five him on his victory for the Payne title even though he had to run through his own member of the faction. Travis gives Robert a bottle of champagne in order to celebrate his casual victory. Robert ignores the celebration call and prefer to walk away from the scene before he gets caught by someone else. Suddenly Travis Halls smacks the bottle of champagne right at the back of Saints head and knocks him down. He calls in a nearby referee and covers Saints.

Singles Re-Match
Darren Maddox © vs. Jamo
Lights in the arena went out then Titantron played a video being scared of someone about to break in her house and started panicking to find a place to hide. The criminal man begins to break into the women’s house then Jamo is standing behind the criminal man while Jamo hides in the shadows carrying a sawed off shotgun and Jamo follows him. The police phone operator will say “911 what’s your emergency?” Then the woman who replied back will say “someone is breaking in my house to kill me.... please help” and the police phone operator will reply back saying “where abouts inside the house are you, help will be on the way.” Woman says “Please hurry I’m in my bedroom closet, hurry please I’m going to be dead soon.” Criminal man opens the bedroom closet with an evil smirk then the woman screams and I appear beside the criminal man loaded up the gun beside his head and say “Get f@&ked mate” then the shots echo the arena.
George Sullivan: Guys this is too big for me to handle. Sara, please dial 911.
Sara Butler: Relax, George that’s just a teaser on the screen.
Chin Check by N.W.A music hits the arena and the lights synced with the music. Jamo shows up wearing long black tights with a shotgun logo on both sides, black knee pads, black wrestling boots, black jacket, black MMA gloves and black sunglasses.
Harley Meisner: Jamo?! With a new gimmick already?
Walking down the ramp slowly, high five few fans and kids in the air with almost a foot distance, slides in to get on the ring, climbs up the turnbuckle and taunts the bullet club. "The Second Coming" by CFO starts to play around the arena and Darren Maddox comes walking out from the back and stands on the stage looking out at the fans who are cheering for him. He makes his way down the ramp and climbs into the ring.
George Sullivan: I can see the limp in Darren’s walk but that limp doesn’t look too legit. Trust me, he is a good actor.
Maddox starts jumping up and down to pump himself up for the match. He keeps a serious expression. He unbuckles his championship belt and stares it for a good few seconds.
Rick Henderson: The following contest is scheduled for one-fall and it is for the World Heavyweight Championship. Introducing first, the challenger from Sydney, Australia, weighing in at 292 pounds, JAMO!!!!
Jamo poses to the crowd with his new looks, attitude and gestures and receives the mixed reaction as Henderson proceeds to introduce Jamo’s opponent.
Rick Henderson: His opponent from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 217 pounds.. He is the current ICW World Heavyweight Champion… Darren MADOXX!!!
The crowd started cheering and now clapping for both men as the referee shows the World Title to the camera before he proceeds to check on both men and then calls for the bell.
*DING DING DING*
Sara Butler: George, I know you got a whole lot of the conspiracy theory going on with you but listening through the conversation of Maverick I am damn sure that a father won’t lie to his kid. Darren isn’t in the best shape.
Harley Meisner: I agree with Sara and I can guaran-damn-tee about it.
Jamo and Darren go for a traditional lockup until Jamo grapples on Maddox’s right forearm, twists it to turn his body around and smacks his elbow right in the middle of his back which makes Maddox scream in pain and falls directly on his knees. The referee immediately interjects and asks Darren if he is really okay to proceed further and Darren nods his head lightly and pushes the referee away and beckoning Jamo to come and take on him.
George Sullivan: Did you just see that? He is better at acting than wrestling.
Harley Meisner: Would you mind shutting your mouth for a while George.
George Sullivan: Learn to digest the truth, Harley!
Jamo shrugs his shoulders and doesn't wait to continue his attack on the champion. He picks Darren up and throws him on the other side of the ring via Stalling Suplex. Jamo walks up to Darren and covers him. The referee counts.

Sara Butler: The guy is literally enjoying dishing out carnage on the champion.
Jamo deliberately raises Darren’s shoulder up and starts laughing like a maniac. He picks Darren up and babbles something to his face and knocks him with the right hand. Darren gets to the corner, leans his back on the Darren buckle to catch up some breath. Jamo nails a big knee into Darren’s rib followed by a couple of punches until he lifts Darren up and makes him sit on the top turnbuckle. Jamo, wasting no time climbs himself on the second ropes, draping Darren’s arm on his shoulders and delivers a massive Suplex from the top rope.
Harley Meisner: Jamo is DELIBERATELY attacking Darren’s back.
George Sullivan: Whether his back was hurt before or not but it sure is gonna hurt after the beating Jamo is giving him in the ring right now.
Darren Maddox rolls inside the ring, bending his back out of pain and kicks his feet on the ring mat. Jamo quickly gets up and walks to where the champ was lying but the referee again this time intervenes and starts checking on Maddox and asks him again if he needs some medical attention and prefers to disqualify himself. Darren struggles to respond back but his response is still in no as he grabs the nearby ropes in order to pick himself up. Darren leaning his back on the second turnbuckle.
Harley Meisner: Will Darren be able to retain his title or is it really Jamo’s night? We will find it out after a short commercial break.
[COMMERCIAL BREAK]
The scene comes back from the commercial break live from the Tacoma Dome arena where the bout for the World Championship is underway. Suddenly a footage from backstage starts playing where Travis Deacon Hall, the reigning ICW Payne Champion is seen standing somewhere in the building near the elevator and waiting for it to open.
George Sullivan: What? Why is this guy supposed to interrupt such an amazing match?
As soon as the lift is opened Travis finds the referee standing inside the elevator which makes him quite confused as to whether he should step inside the lift or not. When out of a sudden Colt Knox comes from behind and throws Travis Hall inside the elevator by his neck which makes Travis' head sound being smacked really hard. Colt Knox covers the champion as the referee inside the lift counts for the pinfall.

NEW ICW Payne Champion, Colt Knox!
[IN THE RING]
Harley Meisner: You gotta be kidding me. Guys, he just debuted the company and already became two time Payne Champion. What an impression!
The scene switches back inside the ring where Jamo is still seen struggling with Maddox on the turnbuckle and it seems like he is now going to apply another offensive move in order to mark himself the World Champion at any cost.
Sara Butler: Colt found his way out but what does Jamo have to do to beat the World Champion? He keeps coming back, guys!
Jamo walks up to him and again locks his head, draping his arm and this time he delivers a T-Bone Suplex on him which almost breaks him in a half. Darren lying down almost seemed knocked out. Jamo gives an evil grin on his face, seeing the World Champion lying in the middle of the ring as a helpless creature. He hooks up his leg and covers.

Jamo AGAIN intentionally breaks the pinfall of his own by raising Maddox’s head by pulling his hairs. The challenger picks up the champ, still holding him by the back of his hairs and knocks his head to all four turnbuckles until Darren loses more of his energy and gets a lot weaker this time. Jamo showing no remorse, picks up the reigning champion but before Jamo could launch his another move Darren pulls the challenger’s right arm in between his two and makes him fall down on his face and locks him into a Crippler Crossface. Jamo struggles to reach to the rope while Darren keeps the pressure on.
Sara Butler: What an amazing counter by Darren.
George Sullivan: Fight it Jamo! Fight it!! Whatever you do, fight for this.
Jamo keeps struggling until he turns his body over Darren’s back is lying on the mat, shoulders down. The referee counts..

Darren again moves off of his back, back again in the same position and keeps Jamo locked in the Crippler Crossface. Jamo after realizing that he can’t reach the ropes, he scuffles a little and gets to his knee, lifting Darren up and deliberately falls on his backside which hurts Darren’s back even more and turns out to be like a golden key to unlock the Crossface. Jamo moves away, catches some breath and then immediately gets his hands on the champion.
Harley Meisner: Smart move by the challenger here. I hope Darren is okay, but I can hardly predict this man retaining his title tonight except for disqualification.
Jamo, wasting no time, picks up Maddox gestures for his finisher Killshot (Powerbomb Lungblower) and connects it successfully right in the middle of the ring. The challenger covers his champion, double assuring that his both shoulders are down and also hooked up his both legs as the ref counts.
George Sullivan: Rest in peace, Darren! Title reign!

*DING DING DING*
Rick Henderson: The winner of this match.. And NEWWWW… ICW World Heavyweight Champion.. JAMOO!!!!
Sara Butler: The dream came true for this man. But most importantly I am more concerned about Darren Maddox.
The referee walks to Jamo to present him with the World Championship who snatches it from the ref in a rude manner and raises his high above his head with his both hands and screams out loud “I AM THE CHAMPION!”. Jamo is joined by his wife Steph, his brother Andrew as well as his good friend The Enforcer for the celebration. Andrew and Enforcer lifts Jamo up on their shoulders as some pyros break out on the entrance stage to end the show.
Harley Meisner: Well guys this is indeed one of the HISTORICAL weekly show ICW could ever had. This is almost like a pay-per-view but this is indeed not the end. There is a lot more to explore and it will definitely be explored on Monday Night Carnage.
Sara Butler: That's right! Thank you for tuning in to the show. Maintain the distance, keep washing your hands until we see you next time.
George Sullivan: Is somebody gonna check on Darren guys? Maybe I was too harsh at him during the show.
WINNER: NEW ICW World Heavyweight Champion, Jamo by pinfall.
