[The Video package for ICW Hail To The King II plays throughout the arena before the cameras pan around showing off the live audience and the Video Screen layout of the fans watching from home.]
(In the backstage area we see Skillet Riley walking down the hallway with a can of soda in his hand. He is slowly approaching young Maverick Maddox who is just coming out of the washroom. Maverick sees Skillet and smiles a bit and goes over to him since he remembers Skillet from the last show when he saw him.)
Maverick Maddox: Hello again.
Skillet Riley: Well hello again to you also. Whatcha up to tonight?
Maverick Maddox: Nothing much to be honest. It's been a boring night. My dad is getting ready for his semi final match tonight, so I'm kinda just hanging out around here.
Skillet Riley: Being bored isn't much fun for a kid like you. But I can change that.
(Maverick smiles more.)
Maverick Maddox: Oh yeah? How? By offering to buy me something from the concession stand? The food sucks in arenas. And catering isn't much better.
Skillet Riley: Not what I have in mind at all little buddy. I'm thinking of something much better. It's something that'll really be a lot of fun!
Maverick Maddox: Okay, I'm listening. What are you thinking?
(Skillet waits a moment then answers.)
Skillet Riley: I'm thinking of you and I going out to the parking lot and making ourselves a bonfire in one of the empty trash cans out there. I've got the pack of matches. We're all set. What do you say?
Maverick Maddox: You offered for us to do this last time you saw me back here. You know, I should be thinking of you as being suspicious or something. I'm not supposed to even be talking to strangers.
Skillet Riley: Dude, I'm no stranger. Far from it. I'm on the roster, therefore that doesn't make me a stranger. And as for me being suspicious in any way, not a chance. I'm talking to you right out in the open here backstage. If I was up to anything bad, I wouldn't be talking to you out in the open. I would be keeping it secretive which I'm not.
(Maverick realizes Skillet has some good points.)
Maverick Maddox: True. But I don't know. I don't wanna get into trouble.
(Skillet shakes his head.)
Skillet Riley: Look kid, no offense to you when I say this, but if you live the rest of your life worrying about getting into trouble, then you're gonna have yourself one hell of a boring life. One rule in life....Never live in fear of doing things.
Skillet Riley: THAT is a rule of life kid. So what you say? Just a little bonfire outside to have some damn fun for a bit!
(Maverick thinks for a few seconds, then replies.)
Maverick Maddox: Well, since it's something I used to do, it's not like I'd be walking on unknown territory. Okay, let's do it!
(With a big smile, Maverick goes with Skillet as they head to one of the exit doors that lead out to the parking lot.)
Hail To The King Semi-Finals
Jennifer Carpenter Lopez vs Darren Maddox
"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. He starts jumping up and down to pump himself up for the match. He keeps a serious expression.
Rick Henderson: From Chicago, Illinois..Darren Maddox!
George Sullivan: Darren is looking to advance to the finals of this Hail to the king tournament.
Harley Meisner: That’s great but he’s has a tough task in front of him facing Jenn, She’s gonna give a fight.
Sara Butler: This match is gonna be a tough match for both, believe me. Both of these guys have no quit in them.
“Outlaws and Outsiders” by Cory Marks start 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. 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. And we see Charlee with her by her side.
Rick Henderson: From LA, Jenn Carpenter Lopez!
George Sullivan: Jenn is looking to pick up a major win here, but Darren is going to be a tough task. However, she’s not shy from the competition, she’s been in big matches before.
Harley Meisner: she’s used to the pressure but can she do this on her own? Normally we see her with her tag partner.
Sara Butler: I don’t think anybody has to be worried about that.
(As the bell rings Darren and Jenn lock up in the middle of the ring. Darren gets the early advantage of the match with a shoulder tackle after he threw Jenn into the ropes. Jenn nods her head before she stands back up on her feet, but Darren knocks her down again with a smile on his face. It’s his way of keeping her down on the ground, so she doesn’t get the offense off the bat.)
George Sullivan: This is a good strategy, keep her grounded so she doesn’t start to pick up the pace. Just like her kid, she knows how to use the ropes to her advantage.
Harley Meisner: How many times has Jenn been knocked down before and she got back up? This isn’t her first rodeo and she knows what’s doing in that ring.
Sara Butler: Neither is Darren, Darren knows what he’s doing too.
(Darren keeps Jenn on the ground for a little bit longer with a sleeper hold but Jenn starts to fight out of it and works her way back up on her feet. She elbows Darren into the stomach with some elbows, not too stiff but enough to loosen the grip which it does. Jenn shoots Darren into the ropes and dropkicks him as he returned to her.)
George Sullivan: Picture perfect dropkick from Jenn! It’s rare that she leaves her feet but when she does it’s always on point.
Harley Meisner: She says that her time is coming up soon and retirement is on the horizon but I don’t believe that for one second. She’s still young.
(Charlee, who is on the outside, cheers for that dropkick but she doesn’t get involved, and it’s highly unlikely that she will unless Jenn tells her otherwise.)
Sara Butler: Darren has to worry about Charlee at ringside too, I know she’s making her debut tonight being at ringside for Jenn but we have no idea whats he’s capable of.
Harley Meisner: I don’t think she’ll get involved. If she did, she would have done it by now.
(Jenn starts to gain control of the match after Darren started off great. However, Darren stays in the match as he fights off everything she tries to do but Jenn is too strong for him. She stays on the offensive until he hits her with a running knee followed by a spine buster, and he goes for the pin.)
1……..
2………..
(Jenn kicks out at the count of 2.
(He moves out of the ring before he runs the ropes. He gets full speed and dives through the ropes but Jenn moves at the last second and Darren crashes into the ringside barricade.)
George Sullivan: That’s why it’s called a suicide dive, you can crash and burn!
Harley Meisner: He hit hard but he’s moving so he didn’t knock himself out.
(Jenn goes to the outside to throw him back into the ring. Once they back into the ring, she backs Darren into the corner and lays a chop across his chest. Darren does the same thing to her and it turns into a chop fest between the two of them, but Jenn hits him harder that sends him to the mat and that last one left a handprint on his chest.)
Sara Butler: That one doesn’t feel good! It echoed throughout the arena too!
Harley Meisner: It left a handprint on him!
(Darren stays in the match for as long as he could but Jenn starts to overpower him in the closing moments of the match. Jenn gets ready for the “Aussie blackout” but Darren fights his way out of it at first but Jenn refuses to let the hold go and hits it anyway!)
1………
2……..
3!
George Sullivan: Oh man! Jenn is moving to the main event later tonight!
Harley Meisner: This won’t set well with Darren, I bet you anything.
Sara Butler: Nothing to be upset about, Darren kept the match close till the end.
(After the final bell, Darren looks up towards Jenn before getting back up on his feet. He acts like he wants to fight her again but he extends his hand out to her. Jenn nods and accepts the handshake. After the handshake, Darren rolls out of the ring to give Jenn time to hang out with the fans.)
Winner: Jenn Carpenter Lopez via Pinfall

The audience starts to go wild, screaming out their dismay of him, there's a faint shadow of a man in the distance of the stage. Then an explosion occurs then he punches through the center stage praying to the crowd, he has his hands in the air praying to the crowd as the boos begin to get louder, there are a few cheers mixed in but mostly boos.

(In the arena back parking lot, Skillet Riley and Maverick Maddox are standing beside a trash can looking at the high flames they have made in it. Maverick has a big smile on his face and Skillet is grinning.)
Maverick Maddox: This is totally awesome!! So bright and fiery!! And do you feel the heat coming from this thing?!! We sure did great with these flames!!
Skillet Riley: We sure did!! This fire is so high and bright, it could light up this whole city in the dark of night!!
Maverick Maddox (shouting in excitement): YEAH!!!
(Suddenly we see Darren Maddox come out of the exit door of the arena and he quickly goes over to Maverick and Skillet. Darren is angry.)
Darren Maddox: Maverick, I've been looking all over for you!! What the hell are you doing out here??!!
Maverick Maddox: I'm just here with my new friend Skillet. We made a bonfire!
(Darren looks at Skillet.)
Darren Maddox: You're the new guy. What's the deal here?? You bringing my son out here like this, allowing him to make fires with you??
Skillet Riley: As you can see, your son isn't in any danger. I stayed with him the whole time. Just letting Maverick have a little fun out here. He got bored inside.
Maverick Maddox: Yeah Dad. I got bored, so we just came out here for a bit.
(Darren stares at Skillet for a moment and is NOT impressed. Darren looks at Maverick.)
Darren Maddox: Go back inside and go right to my locker room.
Maverick Maddox: But Daaaadd...
Darren Maddox: NOW!!
(Maverick looks at Skillet.)
Maverick Maddox: Thanks for bringing me out here. I had a lot of fun.
Skillet Riley: No problem buddy.
(Maverick leaves and goes back inside. Darren turns and looks right at Skillet angrily.)
Darren Maddox: What the FUCK do you think you're doing with my son?
Skillet Riley: Oookkkaaayy, no need to get all pissed about this.
Darren Maddox: Don't talk like this is no big deal!
Skillet Riley: Well it really isn't a big deal. I didn't force Maverick to do anything. I asked him if he wanted to join me in making a bonfire. The choice was always his. A little fun is good for a boy his age.
Darren Maddox: DON'T lecture me about what YOU think is good for my son. You don't know Maverick's history, so just STAY AWAY FROM HIM!!
Skillet Riley: Oh wow...You really get hot tempered over nothing.
(Darren goes up closer to Skillet, keeping his angry expression.)
Darren Maddox: You stay the FUCK away from my son....
(And with that, Darren turns and walks away and goes back into the arena. Skillet watches him leave and now has a serious look on his face. He does not like being told off by Darren and this is now far from over.)

Rick Henderson: The following contest is a semifinal match in the Hail to the King tournament where the winner will be advancing to the fatal four way tonight in the main event. First making his way to the ring from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada by way of San Juan, Puerto Rico; He weighed in this morning at two-hundred and seventy pounds. They call him “Youngblood” Rom Youngblood!!!
Shine Forever by Fozzy plays as Rom comes walking out onto the stage. He starts walking down the ramp, ignoring the fans as he does so. After getting down to the ring he walks up the steps onto the apron. Rom climbs up onto the turnbuckle and poses there for a moment listening to the cheers from the fans. He climbs down off the turnbuckle looking down at the stage awaiting his opponent.
Harley Meisner: Is it just me or does Rom Youngblood just ooze machismo as he makes his way to the ring.
Sara Butler: I can vouch for many women on the roster that lusts over Rom Youngblood but too bad that he's already married to his high school sweetheart Sierra Youngblood.
George Sullivan: Rom has been in a heated exchange of words over social media with his opponent for tonight Jackson Kent. Tonight Rom is looking to make an example out of Jackson and move on in the tournament to crown the King of ICW 2022.
Ace of Spades’ by Motorhead plays throughout the arena, as Jackson Kent comes walking out from the back. A huge round of pyros goes off, as Jackson is seen walking through the center.
Rick Henderson: Making his way to the ring From Lawton, Oklahoma, weighing in at 282 lbs, Big Kent” Jackson Kent!!!
He walks down the ramp way making his way to the ring, before climbing the steps. As he stands on the apron, he spreads his arms wide like wings pausing there for a moment with his head lowered. He then steps over the top rope into the ring. Jackson climbs up onto the top rope, and spreads his arms out once more taking in the reaction from the crowd.
Harley Meisner: Jackson looks more shredded than I have ever seen him before. He is ready to make Rom feel the pain.
Sara Butler: Just look at the size of this man Jackson as he comes down to the ring, he's seven feet tall and you can't teach that and tonight Rom is going to learn first hand why no one messes with Jackson Kent.
George Sullivan: Tonight as they have been billing it for weeks, The Immovable Object collides with The Irresistible Force and after tonight only one of these two men are moving on in the tournament and the other is taking a seat in the sky box to watch the rest of the pay per view tonight.
Rom and Jackson are starting the match off by not adhering to the code of honor as neither man is raising their hand to their opponent as both men step into the middle of the ring and as soon as the bell sounds the two big men just start swinging rights and lefts at one another, neither man is backing down from the other.
The referee has to get between the two men and break them up as they were brawling all the way across the other side of the ring and Jackson's back was against the ropes and Rom was unrelenting on his punches towards Jackson. The two men return to the middle of the ring and now they lock up in a test of strength with Rom getting the upper hand turning it into a German Suplex and then a second one and then finally a third one to complete the Three Amigos.
Harley Meisner: Rom has really came back in this match against Jackson.
Sara Butler: Jackson will get back into this match and really take it to Rom.
George Sullivan: This match is at a fever pitch and it's still very fresh as the match continues.
Rom goes for the cover on Jackson as the referee checks the shoulders of Jackson on the mat. Jackson is able to get his left shoulder off the canvas thus breaking Rom's pinfall attempt. Jackson gets back up to his feet and kicks Rom in the midsection doubles him over and then Jackson connects with a Powerbomb.
Jackson then goes for the cover as Rom easily kicks out after a two counts. Rom then gets back up to his feet and runs at Jackson and then connects with the Spear. Rom then picks up Jackson back to his feet and then connects with The Nightmare's Plunge and then goes for the cover as the referee counts the three counts.
Rick Henderson: Here is your winner Rom Youngblood!
Harley Meisner: Rom showed Jackson who exactly the boss was during this match and as such he moves in the tournament.
Sara Butler: Rom is looking ahead to the main event where he will fight three other wrestlers to get the right to be called King of ICW 2022.
George Sullivan: Jackson is now forced to watch the rest of the pay per view from the sky box with all the other wrestlers that have failed to advance in the Hail to the King 2022 tournament.
Rom celebrates his win in the ring as Jackson exits the ring and heads back to his locker room. Rom looks at the crowd one last time before he exits the ring and heads back to the locker room area.

World Heavyweight Championship Match
Aiden Zane (c) Brandon
The cameras return ringside as Rick Henderson is ready to call the next match.
Rick Henderson: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it's for the ICW World Heavyweight Championship, first making his way to the ring from Sydney, Australia; he weighed this morning at two-hundred and eighty pounds, the challenger “Mr. Sinister” Brandon!!!
The titantron shows two men standing side by side and it revealed to be Chris and Brandon. Chris speaks saying “I’m home, home sweet motherf*ckin’ home!” Then Brandon speaks “We’re back, back for ICW and the exclusive club.”
Chris speaks again “Bitch please, tired of your old shit!” The lights synced with the music, Brandon showed up wearing black jacket, long black tights with “The Club” logo on both side, black knee pads, black combat boots and black baseball gloves. Walks down the ramp taunting bullet club then fist bump the fans for love, slides in the ring then spreads arm wide then taunt bullet club.
Harley Meisner: I haven't seen Brandon more pumped up than he looks tonight going into this championship match against Aiden.
Sara Butler: Brandon looks like a million bucks as he makes his way to the ring tonight and I wouldn't be surprised if he unseats Aiden as the World Champion here in ICW in tonight's match.
George Sullivan: Brandon is going to have to use all his skills and cunning ability if he wants to wrestle the ICW World Heavyweight Championship away from the current champion Aiden Zane.
Rick Henderson: And his opponent from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; he weighed in this morning at two-hundred and ten pounds, he is the reigning and defending ICW World Heavyweight Champion. He is Aiden Zane!!!
Bulletproof by Godsmack hits the arena and Aiden Zane comes onto the stage and stops to look out at the fans who are cheering for him. He makes his way to the ring, gets into the ring and he looks out at the fans.
Harley Meisner: The fans are totally behind Aiden Zane for a long time since he debuted here in ICW so the fact that he's now their ICW World Heavyweight Champion is the icing on the cake for them.
Sara Butler: I feel that Aiden Zane is just like all these people in attendance tonight and the millions watching around the world so that's why they connect so easily and get behind him because after all, he truly is one of them.
George Sullivan: Tonight Aiden needs to get his head into the match and not pander too much to the ICW Universe otherwise then he's going to lose the ICW World Heavyweight Championship to Brandon right here tonight.
The two men adhere to the code of honor and shake hands in the middle of the ring before the referee tells both men to go to a neutral corner before he raises up the ICW World Heavyweight Championship so that everyone can see that the championship is on the line in this match between Aiden Zane and Brandon.
Aiden and Brandon lock up in a test of strength in the middle of the ring with Brandon getting the upper hand and transitioning it into an Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex. Brandon then bridges out to turn it into a pinning predicament but Aiden is able to get his shoulders off the canvas breaking Brandon's pinfall attempt.
Aiden and Brandon get back up to their feet and then both men run at each other knocking the other down with double clotheslines. Aiden and Brandon quickly get back up to their feet and then run at one another only this time Brandon is a bit quicker and connects with the Clothesline from Hell to Aiden.
Harley Meisner: Both of these men are really letting it go against one another as this match continues.
Sara Butler: This match is barely starting so it's still anyone's game as this adrenaline fed contest continues.
George Sullivan: Brandon has just about knocked the air out of Aiden with that Clothesline from Hell.
Brandon goes for the cover on Aiden but only get a long two counts as Aiden was able to get his left foot on the bottom rope. Aiden knew exactly where he was and how far away from the ropes he was so he didn't need to use his energy in order to kick out as he uses the ropes to get back up to his feet. Brandon runs at Aiden but this time instead of connecting with the Clothesline from Hell, Aiden ducks under the Clothesline attempt and then hits a German Suplex to Brandon.
Aiden then picks Brandon back up to his feet and then connects with a Snap DDT. Brandon heads outside of the ring in order to catch a breather but Aiden doesn't let this happen for too long as he climbs out of the ring and starts attacking Brandon before throwing him back into the ring. Aiden re-enters the ring and then Brandon begins stomping away on Aiden.
Brandon throws Aiden into the corner and then runs in after him in the same corner and connects with a Corner Clothesline knocking Aiden down in the corner. Brandon pulls Aiden out of the corner and goes for the cover. Aiden is able to kick out at the two counts. Brandon is getting aggravated that it wasn't a three counts.
Harley Meisner: Brandon is going to have do a lot more than just that if he hopes to defeat Aiden here tonight and become the new ICW World Heavyweight Champion.
Sara Butler: I for once agree with you Harley, Brandon needs to remain focused at the task at hand and not worrying about the fact that Aiden was able to kick out of the pinfall attempt there.
George Sullivan: Aiden is showing a big difference than in the other matches so far that he's defended the ICW World Heavyweight Championship. Brandon might have his number if he can just keep the pressure on Aiden.
Aiden gets back up to his feet and then looks over at Brandon who is still arguing with the referee so Aiden takes that to his advantage and spins Brandon around and connects with an Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex of his own.
Aiden doesn't let go of the grip of the Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex as he pulls himself and Brandon up back to their feet and connects with a second Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex and then one more to make it a hat trick of Overhead Belly to Belly Suplexes. Brandon is tired as he is barely moving on the mat as Aiden goes for the cover.
Brandon is lucky that he was so close to the bottom rope so he was able to grab it and force Aiden to break the pinfall attempt, otherwise Aiden would get disqualified and he would retain the championship but Brandon would have won the match by disqualification thus earning Brandon a future title shot again against Aiden Zane which is not something that Aiden would want at all.
Harley Meisner: Aiden has really came back into this match in the late seconds and I think everyone is breathing a sigh of relief that the champion is back in the match.
Sara Butler: You can say that again Harley, Aiden was looking very bad in there just a few moments ago but now he seems to have gotten back the momentum in his favor with those triple Overhead Belly to Belly Suplexes.
George Sullivan: The match is sstill relatively fresh so there's still time left in the match for Brandon to bounce back into this match and show the champ exactly who is the boss in the ring between these two men.
Aiden now grabs hold of Brandon and then starts applying some pressure to Brandon's midsection area as he lifts him up into the air off the canvas turning it into a version of the Bearhug. Brandon can be seen trying to get one of his arms between himself and Aiden so that way he can build a bit of separation and then hopefully be able to break up the Bearhug. Aiden continues to apply the pressure of the Bearhug to Brandon.
Brandon now is just trying to elbow Aiden in the face so that way the hold is broken even if for a small time as he can catch his breath. Aiden is eventually knocked off of Brandon by repeated elbows to his head and chest. Brandon falls down to the mat from using up all of his energy to break out of the Bearhug from Aiden.
Aiden waits for Brandon to get back up to his feet and then goes for a Cutter but Brandon had the wherewithal to throw Aiden off of him into the ropes which causes Aiden to bounce off the ropes and come back at Brandon connecting with the Bullet. Aiden goes for the cover as the referee counts the three counts and awards the match to Aiden Zane.
Harley Meisner: What a match between two great wrestlers but in the end, Aiden was still able to find a way to hit The Bullet and pick up the win and retain his ICW World Heavyweight Championship.
Sara Butler: You can't take anything away from either competitor here tonight, they put it all out there in the ring as they do every other night but it's just that tonight was for the top prize in this business and Aiden walks out as still the ICW World Heavyweight Champion.
George Sullivan: Both men are class acts as they always have been in their careers and yes, I know that the two of you hate when I say this because I say it after almost every match that happens in the ring but I can't wait to see these two men go at it again in the near future.
Winner: Aiden Zane by Pinfall!!!
Aiden Zane and Brandon stand in the middle of the ring and then they shake each other's hands again at the end of the match showing each other that they truly do respect one another as the camera can see that the two men are speaking to one another but what is being said, cannot be picked up by the cameras.
Brandon exits the ring and heads back to the locker room area as the scene fades away from ringside to backstage.

Fatal Four Way Match
Jennifer Carpenter Lopez vs The Crow vs Gracie Lopez vs Rom Youngblood
(His music plays as Rom comes walking out onto the stage. He starts walking down the ramp, ignoring the fans as he does so. After getting down to the ring he walks up the steps onto the apron. Rom climbs up onto the turnbuckle and poses there for a moment listening to the cheers from the fans. He climbs down off the turnbuckle looking down at the stage awaiting his opponent.)

Rick Henderson: The following contest is one fall! First from Thunder Bay Ontario Canada, Romeo Youngblood!
George Sullivan: Youngblood is moving on from earlier tonight, do you think the match he had earlier will hurt him tonight?
Harley Meisner: I don’t think so, everyone else is hurting too so he shouldn’t be treated any differently.
Sara Butler: I can’t wait to see how he adapts to this type of match!
(The sound of crows are heard before What About Me? by Jim Johnston plays over the arena as the spotlight looks all over the arena and finally The Crow is shown in the rafters looking down at the ring at his opponent before making his way down to the ring to fight his opponent.)
Rick Henderson: From Chicago, The Crow!
George Sullivan: Just like Romeo, Crow had a big battle tonight to make it into this match. He should be ready to face everyone.
Harley Meisner: I wanna see how he can regroup from earlier. He needs to focus if he wants to win this. I think he’s capable of doing it.
Sara Butler: Crow is an underdog coming into this match but he shouldn’t be taken lightly, he’s won a few big matches in his time here in ICW. I think he can do it again, he just needs to catch someone off guard.
( “Outlaws and Outsiders” by Cory Marks 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. 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.)
Rick Henderson: From LA, Jenn Carpenter Lopez
George Sullivan: Jenn pretty much dominated in her match with Darren, I think she’s the fresher person out of everyone here.
Harley Meisner: But she does have a hamburger for a chest after that chop fest between her and Darren. She won’t show it but I think she’s a bit roughed up after that match.
(The lights in the arena go out, as “Rotting in vain” starts to blare throughout the arena. Pyro shoots from the stage, a few seconds later after the pyro did that, Gracie steps on stage and looks around the crowd, and starts to walk down the ramp, she slaps hands with the people along the ramp before she gets to the ring. She climbs the steps and gets into the ring with a focused look on her face, she jumps on the second rope on the near side of the ring and raises her arms and fists in the air before jumping down.)
Rick Henderson: And from LA, Gracie Lopez!
George Sullivan: And Gracie already competed in a tough triple threat match earlier, can she be recovered enough and be focused for this match?
Harley Meisner: After all of the huge matches she’s been in, I think she’ll be fine.
Sara Butler: I think you’re right, she’s made for matches like these. It’s rare for her to get pinned but that may change tonight.
(The bell rings as all 4 of the competitors start circling each other, instead of locking up Crow and Youngblood turn their attention towards Jenn and Gracie. And they start to work on them before throwing them out of the way before they focus on themselves. Once the girls are out on the floor, Crow and Youngblood are working on each other.)
George Sullivan: That’s a good move to take those girls out but for how long though?
Harley Meisner: Problem is, anything goes in this match since it’s a fatal 4 way, they can’t hide forever.
Sara Butler: Who’s hiding?
(Youngblood, the stronger man in this match has Crow down on the mat for a cover.)
1……
(As the pin attempt happens, we see Gracie flying into the picture with a flying springboard leg drop that breaks up the count at 1. Crow starts to fight with Gracie but Gracie fights back and uses her feet to kick at the hamstrings of Crow. But Crow doesn’t back down either that was until Jenn came in and helped her daughter. With Crow out of the ring and Youngblood down, the girls slowly turn towards each other and as they do the crowd starts to murmur and start making noise because this is what they want to see, these 2 wrestle each other, something that hasn’t happened in a while but as they start looking at each other, Youngblood came in and knocked Jenn to the ground as the crowd boos.)
George Sullivan: Oh man! What would have happened if those 2 tag champs started to fight each other?
Harley Meisner: Did you not hear the crowd? They would have loved it if that happened.
Sara Butler: That would put Charlee in a bind though, 2 of her clients wrestling each other?
Harley Meisner: It’ll be money!
(Crow and Gracie are fighting on the outside while Youngblood and Jenn are fighting on the inside of the ring. Everyone has their moment to shine as well, Crow and Gracie start fighting in the crowd while Youngblood and Jenn remain in the ring for a little while longer, but they end up on the floor. While on the floor, Youngblood tries to tackle Jenn into the steps but she sidesteps it and Youngblood flies shoulder first into the steps. With the momentum of him, the steps went flying. Now that youngblood is down and out, Jenn turns her attention towards Crow and Gracie.)
George Sullivan: This match is becoming chaotic and it’s good!
Harley Meisner: That’s why I like matches like this, you have no idea what will happen and it’s always a fun ride.
(As they fight around the arena and back towards the ringside area, Youngblood comes back into the match when he tackles Crow through the barricade! Meanwhile back in the ring now when both girls are in, they turn around and spot each other. And they start fighting each other for the first time in this match and the crowd explodes!)
George Sullivan: Here we go! Our tag team champions are going at it!
Sara Butler: Do you think they’ll take it easy on each other?
Harley Meisner: why would they? They haven’t before.
(Back and forth they go, no going easy on each other as promised. Some high-flying moves broke out and energized the crowd even more on both of the girls. It’s rare to see Jenn break out these types of moves but they do happen when she’s up for it and this match fits the bill for it. Gracie gets a pin on Jenn.)
1…….
2…….
(Crow and youngblood come in and break up the pinfall attempt. All 4 of these fantastic wrestlers are in a heated match and everyone is going back and forth, the crowd is behind them as they are. Youngblood tries to get the advantage on Gracie but he hits a kick to the side of the head for his troubles. Gracie again goes for the high flying style and connects with a springboard dropkick that sends Youngblood to the outside of the ring, while outside of the ring Gracie and youngblood fight some more but it leads to youngblood taking a face full of table and Gracie grabs a chair and places it in the ring. She runs the ropes because leaping on the top rope from the chair and flies onto the back of Youngblood from the top rope through the announce table)
George Sullivan: Good god almighty!
Harley Meisner: Did you see the height she had? Good lord!
(This is holy shit chants followed by this is awesome chants fill the arena as Crow and Jenn are fighting in the ring, unaware of what happened out on the arena floor. Crow and Jenn are going back and forth then Gracie crawls her way onto the ring apron, Jenn hit her finisher “Aussie blackout on Crow and Gracie leaps to the top rope and hits her springboard 450, “style on Grace! Gracie goes for the pin but Youngblood pulls her out of the way and Jenn crawls her way towards Crow.)
1…….

(Youngblood tries to break up the pin but Gracie stops him from doing so!)

George Sullivan: Jenn won! She’s our new Hail to the king….Queen!
Harley Meisner: Did you see that Gracie saved her? She stopped Youngblood from breaking up the pin!
Rick Henderson: Here is your winner Jennifer Carpenter Lopez!!
Rick Henderson: Here is your winner Jennifer Carpenter Lopez!!
(After the bell rings Charlee gets into the ring followed by Gracie with a smile on her face. Gracie hugs her stepmom and raises her hand in the air, so does Charlee after a hard-fought battle. The fans cheer for all 3 of them in the ring as Crow and Youngblood look defeated as they walk up the ramp.)
Sara Butler: I can’t wait to see what Jenn has to say on the next show!
George Sullivan: I’m sure they’ll have a lot to say, and that’ll be for then.
Winner: Jenn Carpenter Lopez.
