MONDAY NIGHT BRAWL
"ROAD TO CAGED IN"
10.30.17
LITTLE CEASERS ARENA
DETROIT, MICHIGAN
Monday Night Brawl takes the air live from the Little Ceasers arena in Detroit, Michigan.....
Detroit ERUPTS with a rockstar like ovation!! The house lights dim to darkness as... Suddenly the music fades out.
... The blackout continues...
OH.MY.GOD.
Shit just got real as Detroit, Michigan completely loses their shit as white and green strobe lights flicker all over the building, a thick white smoke starts to bellow out on to the top of the ramp. The ovation reaches a massive pitch as CHRIS PAGE walks out to the top of the ramp with a look of sheer focus as he starts to make the walk towards the ring decked out in a black three piece suit, red button up shirt with a black neck tie.
Chris walks down to the ring as the fans along the barrier bow down as a show of respect for the Detroit native. Chris reaches ringside where he climbs up on the ring apron before stepping through the ropes and into the ring. Chris demands the microphone as the strobe lights stop flashing and the house lights come back up. Chris takes center ring with microphone in hand as a massive "CCP! CCP! CCP! CCP!" chant fills the entire building almost shaking it to its core as Chris raises the microphone to his his lips.
CHRIS PAGE- "You damn right standing in this ring is "CHRONIC" CHRIS PAGE!"
The fans roar loudly!
"CHRONIC" CHRIS PAGE- "And in just TWO, count them, TWO short weeks you can also call me an EIGHT time WGWF World Heavyweight Champion!"
There's an even LOUDER ovation if that's even possible!
"CHRONIC" CHRIS PAGE- "We are two short weeks away from a ground breaking moment for your World Heavyweight Champion as he's going to come face to face with the one man that he can't say he's SUCCESSFULLY defended a World Title against... And trust me when I say that NOBODY is looking forward to being locked inside of Hell in a Cell with the one guy that I happen to despise more than any other human being on the face of the planet."
The crowd starts to quiet down as Chris continues.
"CHRONIC" CHRIS PAGE- "But that's in two weeks... Let's talk about TONIGHT!"
Another massive pop from the crowd as Chris looks directly into the camera.
"CHRONIC" CHRIS PAGE- "Let's talk about how the shoe is going to be on the other foot when it comes to MDK and Alyce Starchylde and beatings being handed out unlike what transpired two weeks ago on Monday Night Brawl. It seems the hot topic of conversation rests with how can I possibly be at one hundred percent following something so savage, so brutal? Simple answer is... I'm not... But I don't have to be at one hundred percent to throw around MDK or Starchylde!"
There's another huge ovation which breaks out into yet another "CCP! CCP! CCP!" chant. Chris lowers the microphone soaking in the love from his hometown crowd. Several seconds pass before Chris raises the microphone back up to his lips.
"CHRONIC" CHRIS PAGE- "Hell I don't have to be at one hundred percent to take a title away from MDK; which I'll gladly prove in two short weeks at Caged In!"
Chris flashes a grin alongside a thumbs up as the fans share a bit of laughter before transitioning into a solid ovation.
"CHRONIC" CHRIS PAGE- "And while come Caged In it's only going to be ONE person MDK is going to have to contend with... Tonight' there's THREE!"
The ROOF explodes as "GLORIOUS" Tristan Slater and the WGWF Intercontinental Champion John "THE BEAST" Cable are shown walking out to the top of the ramp both men looking primed to take care of business tonight as they begin to walk towards the ring John with the IC title slung over his right shoulder. The Glorious New Breed aren't wasting time as they reach ringside which see's Slater slide into the ring under the bottom rope while John climbs up on the ring apron where he steps over the top rope and into the ring joining Slater who is back to his feet. The Glorious New Breed join Chris in the ring as they're looking towards the "hard camera" as the music fades away.
"CHRONIC" CHRIS PAGE- "How fucked are the both of you."
Chris tosses the microphone down to the mat as the fans pop loudly for "Chronic" Chris Page and the Glorious New Breed as they're ready for tonight's huge Six Person Tag Team Attraction. The scene cuts to the loading dock of the arena.
BIGG RIGG IS IN THE HOUSE!
A black Hummer is shown arriving in the loading dock as it pulls to a stop. The crowd pops as "BIGG RIGG" John Gambino steps out of the drivers side. Gambino is approached by Denise Essex who has a microphone in hand.
DENISE ESSEX- "Bigg Rigg! What are you doing here tonight? You aren't scheduled to appear."
JOHN GAMBINO- "Let's just say anytime my opponents are in action I'll always been closer than anyone might think."
John winks at Denise as he heads backstage and we return to ringside.
MATCH ONE:
"EVERYDAY NORMAL GUY" ANDY JOHNSON-PAGE
versus
LUKE RIGGS
Dustin Holt is standing in the ring waiting for Andy Johnson to make his way down to the ring…
Baxter: A lot of erratic behaviour from Andy the past few weeks.
Diamond: Apparently upper management is very upset that he has not been doing his scheduled appearances in the past weeks. Lets hope we see the best Andy Johnson tonight!!!
“Every Day Normal Guy” By John Lajoie blasts over the PA system as the crowd jumps to their feet. A crowd of people come out onto the ramp as Andy Johnson stands atop of them on his surf board making his way down to the ring. To be in the Halloween spirit he is dressed up as Tristan Slater as the crowd roars. The crowd surfs him down on his board right to the ring. Andy quickly jumps up to the top rope and spring boards into the ring catching Dustin Holt by complete surprise with a springboard hurricanrana!
Baxter: Whoa!!!
The bell sounds as Holt is till trying to figure out what is going on. Holt gets up and is met by a flurry of right hands that send him into the corner. Andy continues his assault by throwing Holt across the ring to the other corner. Andy charges over and lands a huge splash on Holt. Holt stumbles to the middle of the ring. Andy gets out onto the apron and once again springboards into the ring this time catching Holt with a springboard block buster! Andy covers Holt up!!!

Andy quickly drops the mic and jumps into the crowd as the crowd chants his name!!! ANDY ANDY ANDY ANDY!!!
BIG HOSS MEETS NICK RYAN!
The crowd pops big as Erik Josten is shown walking towards the Gorilla position for his upcoming Television Title defense when he's abruptly jumped from behind with a steel chair across the back by NICK RYAN! The crowd roars with Boo's as Josten hits the concrete floor.
Nick Ryan starts smashing the steel chair viciously across the back of Josten repeatedly! Shot after shot until the chair dents across his back! Nick Ryan reaches down picking the Television Champion up off the floor where he drops him with a RED LINE! Nick reaches down picking up the Television Championship.
NICK RYAN- "I'll be taking this with me now AND at Caged In!"
The crowd roars with boo's as Nick Ryan walks away with the WGWF Television Championship.
MATCH 2:
WGWF TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
"BIG HOSS" ERIK JOSTEN (c)
versus
THE SENTINEL
CANCELED
Main Event
Six Man Tag Team Attraction
CHRISTIAN CONNOLLY, ALYCE STARCHYLDE AND M.D.K. (c)
versus
CHRIS PAGE, "GLORIOUS" TRISTAN SLATER and JOHN "THE BEAST" CABLE (c)
The fans ERUPT as the house lights dim to darkness! The drums and guitar kick in as a single spotlight hits the top of the ramp revealing the back of Tristan Slater who is dressed in a blue robe with diamond trim and the word "GLORIOUS" written across the back of the robe with his arms extended out in a "Glorious pose". The lyrics hit and as Tristan spins around the fans ROAR! The ovation grows as the Intercontinental Champion JOHN CABLE emerges out to the top of the ramp where he walks with a purpose towards the ring; the Intercontinental Title strapped around his waist. The Glorious One starts to make his walk towards the ring while we see John has already climbed up on the ring apron before stepping over the top rope and into the squared circle where he starts pacing back and forth like a caged animal.
Masters: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a six person tag team match! Making their way to the ring first at a combined weight of 512lbs… The team of the Intercontinental Champion John ‘the Beast’ Cable and Tristan Slater… The Glorious… NEW BREED!”
Tristan reaches ringside where he makes his way up the steel steps to the ring apron. He motions for the referee to open the ropes. The official sits on the middle rope while pushing up on the top rope. The Glorious One steps through the ropes and into the ring where he takes centre ring. A spotlight shines down on him as he removes his robe revealing a pair of long blue tights with black boots. Air brushed on the crotch of the tights is a head shot of Alyce Starchylde with a lollypop in her mouth. Tristan breaks out into a Glorious Gyration to a roar from the crowd.
Diamond: “These two more than anybody else in recent months the damage that M.D.K. can do and it’s refreshing to see Tristan Slater back to himself.”
Baxter: “He says he was in Wonderland the last few weeks. Do you think he just drank that potion and shrank last week?”
Diamond: “That was a midget…”
Baxter: “So he says…”
The house lights come back up as the music fades away leaving a solid chant of "GLOR-IOUS! GLOR-IOUS! GLORIOUS NEW-BREED!"
Tristan and John talk a few things over as
"Zero" by Smashing Pumpkins starts to play and the crowd pop peaks as Chris Page emerges at the top of the ramp. He gestures to his waist to where a belt could be after Caged In before making his way down to the ring.
Masters: “And their partner, from Detroit, Michigan and weighing in at 220lbs… He is the Number One Contender to the WGWF World Heavyweight Championship… Chronic… CHRIS… PAGE!”
Diamond: “Tristan Slater said earlier this week that all three men standing in that ring right now are all gunning for the World Heavyweight Champion. What does that say to you?”
Baxter: “That these pussies would be triggered by anything?”
Page bumps knuckles with both Slater and Cable as the lights change and "Keep It 100" by Grandtheft & Keys N Krates starts to play. A mixed reaction as Christian Connolly appears at the top of the ramp and slowly makes his way down to the ring.
Masters: “And their opponents… Introducing first, from Norfolk, Virginia and weighing in at 235lbs… Christian Connolly!”
He climbs into the ring and all three opponents respectfully remove themselves as Connolly poses and the crowd reaction turns instantly hostile as the strains of K Flay’s ‘Blood in the Cut’ drifts through the air as Alyce steps out on the entrance ramp.
Masters: “His tag team partner, from Hollywood California and weighing in at 135lbs… Alyce… STARCHYLDE!”
Her head bounces softly in time to the music and then she lurches forward down the aisle towards the ring. She doesn’t seem to notice the crowd as her haunted eyes stare towards the ring. She approaches, slides under the ring ropes and slouches in a corner as she stares at Connolly who looks uneasy. The heat spikes as 'Charlie Big Potato' by Skunk Anansie plays and M.D.K. stands cockily on the entranceway. The title is on his shoulder and he sports a long coat. As the drums kick in he pulls the jacket apart to reveal a t-shirt that simply says #TeamWeinstein. He drops the coat and turns around to show another message that reads… ‘No Means Hard to Get’.
Diamond: “Oh boy…”
Baxter: “I’m not going to comment on that. I have enough hate on social media as it is…”
Masters: “*Sigh* And their tag team partner… from Las Vegas, Nevada by way of London England… He weighs in at 270lbs and is the WGWF World Heavyweight Champion… M… D… K!!!”
M.D.K. climbs into the ring and Alyce bends over and M.D.K. pats her on the backside before she turns around and wags a finger at him mockingly admonishing him as he takes the t-shirt off and throws it into the crowd. Connolly shakes his head as their opponents climb onto the ring apron and the referee starts to control the crowd.
Diamond: “Just for getting it under control at this very moment, this referee deserves a medal!”
M.D.K. gestures to himself that he will kick the match off and suddenly all three of his opponents are jostling for position to climb into the ring with him until the biggest man amongst the trio steps boldly into the middle of the ring and the bell rings to kick things off.
Baxter: “Here! We! Go!”
Cable takes a step towards the World Champion and he responds by tagging in Christian Connolly and ducking out of the ring to the rage of the crowd who respond with a huge chorus of boos.
Diamond: “M.D.K. playing the mind games early.”
Connolly steps into the ring and he and Cable touch knuckles in a sign of respect to each other before tying up with a collar and elbow tie-up. Cable quickly gets the upper hand and drives Connolly into the neutral corner before delivering a quick could of knees to the mid-section before taking a step backwards and charging forward to deliver a heavy knee. He takes Connolly by the back of the head, backs him into the ropes and whips him across the ring. C2 hits the ropes and ducks the clothesline attempt, hits the opposite ropes and hits a diving tackle to the knees of Cable that wobbles the Intercontinental Champion.
Cable staggers backwards as Connolly holds onto the legs of Cable but the Beast drives an elbow into the point of Connolly that immediately drives the fight out of him before hitting a couple of knees to the face and chest of the Suntan Superman that arches him back to a vertical base before almost decapitating him with a lariat! He reaches out and tags in Slater who gets a warm reaction as he hops through the ropes and hits a few quick knees to the kneeling Connolly before hauling C2 to his feet and dropping him with a DDT! He makes a cover!
1!
2!
But Connolly pops out with authority and Slater sits up with a smirk. He looks up at Connolly’s corner and waves sarcastically as M.D.K. and Alyce simply glare at him. Slater delivers a few forearms to the face and neck of Christian before whipping him into his corner and following up with a flying knee that comes with a tag to Page as it connects to the delight of the crowd.
Page squares up to C2 and delivers a few placed punches to the head and body of the Suntan Superman before wrapping him up and shitting a snap suplex! He turns to Connolly’s corner and talks trash before picking Connolly up by the head and delivering a chop before whipping him into the ropes. Page goes for a standing drop-kick but Connolly holds onto the top rope and Page crashes to the mat stomach first. Connolly chases him down and hits a running leg-drop across the back of the number one contender and rolls through to hit Alyce with a tag.
Baxter: “Big tag to the queen of the WGWF!”
The crowd boos as the Queen of the WGWF slithers through the ropes and delivers a series of brutal stomps to the back of the champion with a snarl etched across her face. She drags Page up by his hair and synchs in a stiff headlock but Page pushes her off and into the ropes. Alyce nimbly ducks the clothesline attempt by Page and stops in her tracks and as ‘Chronic’ turns around, Alyce greets him with a high standing leap that leads into a hurricanrana that sends Page crashing to the mat! Starchylde gets to her feet and poses to the baying crowd as she points to tagging in the World Champion and the crowd pop to see the two participants in the Caged In Main Event go toe to toe early on. But she wags her finger and the crowd boos in response as she stalks Page as he gets onto all fours and drops a knee across the back of his neck which plants his face into the mat to the rage of the crowd.
Diamond: “Alyce pressing the crowd’s buttons early on.”
Baxter: “It’s not hard to upset this mob…”
She drags Page up to his feet and calls the referee over to her left side. She asks him to check for something in her eye and as he checks, Alyce mule kicks the number one contender in the groin to the disgust of the fans and to Slater and Cable on the outside who call for the referee to see sense. As Page drops to the mat, she thanks the referee and blows him a kiss playfully.
Diamond: “How naïve is that referee? Falling for such a pathetic trick!”
Page coughs and tries to compose himself as Starchylde drags him back to his face and drops him straight back down with a side Russian leg sweep and drapes an arm across Page to make a cover!
1!
2!
But Page powers out and Alyce sits up with an irritated look. She picks Page’s arm up and wrenches it around fully before dragging down on it. She delivers a few kicks to the arm socket before whipping him into the corner but Page manages to reverse it and Alyce slams into the neutral corner and tags in Slater as she recovers a little and staggers out of the corner and is met by a Japanese arm-drag from her Caged In opponent. She takes a knee and Slater follows it with a Yakuza kick to the side of her head and then taunts the World Heavyweight Champion and Christian Connolly in the corner and makes a title gesture to his waist and M.D.K. responds with a hand gesture of his own.
Slater pulls Alyce back up to her feet and hits a couple of knife edge chops that evoke ‘woos’ from the crowd before he drops her with a European uppercut! He nonchalantly steps over Starchylde and doesn’t break eye contact with the champion as he hits a standing moonsault onto Starchylde to the astonishment of the crowd. He pops back to his feet and flips off M.D.K. to the delight of the crowd as the Champion shakes his head and turns to Connolly and calls Slater a peasant as Slater drags Alyce back to her feet and offers her limp hand to M.D.K. for a tag but the champion wafts it away with disdain as Slater shakes his head and then drops her with a back suplex!
Slater then charges into the opposite ropes and leaps over Alyce to run to the opposite ropes to build momentum but M.D.K. pulls the rope down and Slater tumbles over the top rope and crashes to the outside! M.D.K. immediately bears down on the Glorious One with furious kicks and stomps to the downed adversary as both Page and Cable charge across the ring to intervene only to be stopped at first by the referee and then by Connolly who steps in to calm the situation down which allows Alyce time to recover and time for M.D.K. to continue the assault as he drags the former champion to his feet and runs him into the steel steps and then into the guard rail in one fluid motion before dragging him back over to the apron and dumping him back into the ring as Alyce is back to her feet and is recovering in her corner as the referee gets the contenders back under control. M.D.K. climbs onto the apron once again, calmly tidies himself up and takes a hold of the tag rope and smiles falsely as he asks for the tag and Alyce obliges as the crowd boo vociferously.
The World Heavyweight Champion drags the limp Slater up to his feet and drives stiff knees into his ribs before adjusting Slater and dropping him with a fisherman’s suplex! He rolls over and stands up and delivers a couple of stomps to Slater before waving at the opposite corner as he rests his foot across the throat of the Glorious One causing him to flail his feet wildly as the referee counts for a break. M.D.K. then breaks it by stepping fully onto the neck of Slater and sauntering towards an enraged Cable and Page and flipping each of them the bird. Cable goes to charge through the ropes and M.D.K. backs away as Starchylde slips into the ring and connects with a few cheap shots and slips out quickly without the referee noticing. M.D.K. drags Slater up and slaps him hard against his face and pushes him back into the ropes and barks at Connolly to hold him still. Connolly obliges with a sigh as M.D.K. unleashes a flurry of lefts and rights before pointing at Alyce and delivering a brutal head-butt to the nose of Slater who crumples to the mat. He asks for her review of his headbutt and she gestures to say ‘so-so’. M.D.K. shrugs his shoulders and tags in Connolly who steps through the ropes and M.D.K. pokes him in the chest and mouths three words…
‘Don’t fuck up’
Connolly shakes his head in disgust at the champion and picks Slater up and hits a couple of forearms before whipping Slater into the ropes and as he returns, drops the Glorious One with a picture perfect Samoan drop. M.D.K. and Starchylde look impressed and offer a polite applause to Connolly as he sits up and picks up Slater and hits a few knees before forcing Slater into the corner and tagging in Alyce who scoots through the middle ropes and hits a few quick kicks to Slater before climbing the body of Slater and hitting a flip crescent kick to the chin of the former World Champion! Alyce plants back on her feet and tags in a still stunned M.D.K. who steps through the ropes and plants his foot straight onto the outstretched fingers of Slater. M.D.K. drags Slater up and delivers a forearm shot before a European Uppercut that rattles the former champion into the corner where he tags in Alyce who connects with a flurry of quick kicks before grabbing the arm of Slater and whips him into the opposite corner. Slater crashes in and Alyce follows up with a handspring back-elbow but nobody is home and Alyce’s head bounces off of the turnbuckle and she staggers into the centre of the ring. Slater – who has ducked to the outside leaps onto the top rope and hits a springboard bulldog onto Slater which gets the crowd onto their feet!
Diamond: “A sign of life from the Glorious One and every single person in this arena is urging him to his corner.”
Slater slowly starts dragging himself to the outstretched hands of Cable and Page as Alyce makes her way over to C2 and M.D.K. as the crowd are chanting Slater’s name. Slater makes one last lunge and takes in Cable as Alyce tags in Connolly to a roar from the crowd. Cable storms across the ring and levels Christian with a clothesline before Alyce is back to her feet but is soon back down courtesy of a Cable clothesline of her own! M.D.K. charges towards the Man Beast and is met with a huge boot to the face before catching Connolly as he goes for a leaping lariat and turns it into a rib breaker!
Diamond: “Cable is cleaning house!”
Connolly rolls away as Alyce goes for a chop block from behind as M.D.K. hits a running clothesline but Cable is able to duck the shot from Tenegra and as Alyce slides in, he drives a boot hard into the back of the Mad Queen! M.D.K. goes to tackle Cable to the mat but he is intercepted by Page who tackles the champion to the outside and the pair Brawl to the delight of the crowd! As the pair brawl, Connolly has revered and is on his feet as Cable beckons him on but as Cable lunges forwards, Alyce is holding onto one of his tree trunk legs. Cable tries to shake her off and as he’s distracted, Connolly capitalises and boots the Intercontinental Champion in the mid-section and locks him up for the Crowning Glory but the Man Beast throws Connolly to the side and delivers a boot to the midsection of his own to Connolly and is about to deliver a Waking Nightmare….
“BEEP, BEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.”
Baxter: “What the hell?”
Green, white and red pyros burst up along the stage before one final ball of fire blasts up from the centre of the stage leaving a cloud of smoke pouring toward the ceiling of the arena. After a few minutes of silence, leaving the crowd with nothing but questions of what is to come....a familiar song blasts over the PA system.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDibcVCusgY
John Gambino marches down the ramp to a huge ovation from the crowd. He marches down to the ring and past the carnage going on the outside.
Diamond: “John Gambino is here! Why is he here?”
Baxter “He’s checking on his Caged In opposition!”
Diamond: “I don’t think so! Look!”
Gambino swaggers over to the timekeeper’s bench and strokes the World Heavyweight Championship before picking up and resting it on his shoulder.
Baxter: “He’s just trying on his belt that he’ll be taking at Caged In…”
He poses for it and smirks at Cable who drops Connolly and steps towards the ropes. Gambino beckons the champion onwards and Page who has broken away from M.D.K. slaps the Man Beast on the back for a blind tag. Cable climbs out of the ring and towards Gambino who squares up to the champion over the title as Cable calmly moves towards Big Rig and takes the title away from him and places it over his shoulder to a huge response from the crowd. Connolly suddenly appears behind Cable and takes the title off of the Man Beast’s shoulder and places it on his own to heat from the crowd as Cable goes to take it back, Gambino reaches for the belt and soon all three men are pushing and shoving. Gambino swings for Cable but instead connects with Connolly and soon all three are brawling and tumble over the guard rail where the brawl continues into the crowd!
Diamond: “And that will leave us with just four people! Alyce tagged herself in before Connolly left the ring so it is she and Page who are legal!”
Baxter: “And Tristan is still out for the count on the outside! M.D.K. and his Queen are stirring and Page could be in trouble!”
Page lunges for Starchylde but a pair of arms wrap around his waist and M.D.K. drives him to the mat with a German suplex as the referee tries to regain control of this match! He forces M.D.K. out of the ring but as he does, an enraged Page tries to lunge at the champion but instead, M.D.K. drags the referee into his path and gets flattened from the leaping superman punch!
Diamond: “The referee is down and this looks bad for the number one contender!”
As the referee drops, Page backs M.D.K. into the corner and unleashes a flurry of lefts and rights. He then howls in pain as Alyce drops him with a low blow from behind and with no referee, anything goes. She helps M.D.K. back to his feet and the pair unleash a series of furious boots to the downed body of Chris Page as the crowd chant for Slater.
Diamond: “Slater is down still and that isn’t like him.”
A replay comes up that during the commotion with the Intercontinental contenders, M.D.K. took his sceptre and flattened Slater with a shot to the temple which explains Slater being out for the count. Back in the ring, Alyce holds Page in place as he delivers boxing style punches to the ribs and body of the challenger as the crowd chants that this is bullshit. M.D.K. returns the favour as Alyce backs into the ropes and charges forwards and delivers a running Red Queen to Page but the Chronic One drops down and it is M.D.K. who gets the forehead smash that drops the World Heavyweight Champion! She places her hands to her head and screams in frustration as Page spins her around and boots her hard in the midsection before hitting a Page Plant that gets the crowd on their feet! He hooks the leg!
.
.
.
.
But the referee is still out and Page splutters and curses his luck as he sits up. He slowly pulls himself to his feet and makes his way over to the referee where he tries to rouse him with a tap which turns to a shake. Page’s eyes widen as M.D.K. grabs Page by the waist and drives him down with another German Suplex! The crowd boos as he rolls through and hits a Dragon Suplex! He rolls through again and locks up the arms of the challenger and goes for the Strait-Jacket Suplex but Page locks his leg and delivers a mule kick to M.D.K. who releases the hold Page staggers back to the ropes. M.D.K. staggers forwards and Page meets him and in one fluid motion boots M.D.K. in the midsection and sets him up for a High Times flip pile-driver but M.D.K. hammers away at the number one contender and Page releases and M.D.K. goes for a HellShot but Page elbows M.D.K. in the back of the head, drives a knee into the stomach of the champion, locks up the arms and…
Diamond: “PAGE PLANT! PAGE PLANT ONTO THE CHAMPION!”
Baxter: “NO! NO! STAY DOWN REFEREE!”
Alyce is stirring but then her eyes widen as a bloodied but recovered Slater pulls her out of the ring towards him and greets her with a punch as the referee now stirs and Page hooks the leg!
1!
2!
3!
The crowd cheer! Derrick Diamond cheers and fans around the world are on their feet as the bell rings and Hail to the King plays.
Masters: “The winners of the match. Tristan Slater, John Cable and Chronic… Chris… PAGE!”
The referee holds a weary Page’s arm high as a smirk crawls across his face. He rolls to the outside and grabs the World Heavyweight Championship and stands astride the unconscious champion and holds the title aloft as the fans go wild!
Diamond: “Is this a preview of what is to come at Caged In!”
Baxter: “It’s a pipe dream… a fantasy and nothing more!”
Diamond: “There is only one way to find out and that is to tune into Caged In… Who will walk out as World Heavyweight Champion? Who will cement their legacy over the other? Who will walk out of the war unscathed?”
The final image is on Chris Page dropping the title across the motionless body of M.D.K. as the credits roll.
MONDAY NIGHT BRAWL
"ROAD TO CAGED IN"
10.30.17
LITTLE CEASERS ARENA
DETROIT, MICHIGAN
Monday Night Brawl takes the air live from the Little Ceasers arena in Detroit, Michigan.....
Detroit ERUPTS with a rockstar like ovation!! The house lights dim to darkness as... Suddenly the music fades out.
... The blackout continues...
OH.MY.GOD.
Shit just got real as Detroit, Michigan completely loses their shit as white and green strobe lights flicker all over the building, a thick white smoke starts to bellow out on to the top of the ramp. The ovation reaches a massive pitch as CHRIS PAGE walks out to the top of the ramp with a look of sheer focus as he starts to make the walk towards the ring decked out in a black three piece suit, red button up shirt with a black neck tie.
Chris walks down to the ring as the fans along the barrier bow down as a show of respect for the Detroit native. Chris reaches ringside where he climbs up on the ring apron before stepping through the ropes and into the ring. Chris demands the microphone as the strobe lights stop flashing and the house lights come back up. Chris takes center ring with microphone in hand as a massive "CCP! CCP! CCP! CCP!" chant fills the entire building almost shaking it to its core as Chris raises the microphone to his his lips.
CHRIS PAGE- "You damn right standing in this ring is "CHRONIC" CHRIS PAGE!"
The fans roar loudly!
"CHRONIC" CHRIS PAGE- "And in just TWO, count them, TWO short weeks you can also call me an EIGHT time WGWF World Heavyweight Champion!"
There's an even LOUDER ovation if that's even possible!
"CHRONIC" CHRIS PAGE- "We are two short weeks away from a ground breaking moment for your World Heavyweight Champion as he's going to come face to face with the one man that he can't say he's SUCCESSFULLY defended a World Title against... And trust me when I say that NOBODY is looking forward to being locked inside of Hell in a Cell with the one guy that I happen to despise more than any other human being on the face of the planet."
The crowd starts to quiet down as Chris continues.
"CHRONIC" CHRIS PAGE- "But that's in two weeks... Let's talk about TONIGHT!"
Another massive pop from the crowd as Chris looks directly into the camera.
"CHRONIC" CHRIS PAGE- "Let's talk about how the shoe is going to be on the other foot when it comes to MDK and Alyce Starchylde and beatings being handed out unlike what transpired two weeks ago on Monday Night Brawl. It seems the hot topic of conversation rests with how can I possibly be at one hundred percent following something so savage, so brutal? Simple answer is... I'm not... But I don't have to be at one hundred percent to throw around MDK or Starchylde!"
There's another huge ovation which breaks out into yet another "CCP! CCP! CCP!" chant. Chris lowers the microphone soaking in the love from his hometown crowd. Several seconds pass before Chris raises the microphone back up to his lips.
"CHRONIC" CHRIS PAGE- "Hell I don't have to be at one hundred percent to take a title away from MDK; which I'll gladly prove in two short weeks at Caged In!"
Chris flashes a grin alongside a thumbs up as the fans share a bit of laughter before transitioning into a solid ovation.
"CHRONIC" CHRIS PAGE- "And while come Caged In it's only going to be ONE person MDK is going to have to contend with... Tonight' there's THREE!"
The ROOF explodes as "GLORIOUS" Tristan Slater and the WGWF Intercontinental Champion John "THE BEAST" Cable are shown walking out to the top of the ramp both men looking primed to take care of business tonight as they begin to walk towards the ring John with the IC title slung over his right shoulder. The Glorious New Breed aren't wasting time as they reach ringside which see's Slater slide into the ring under the bottom rope while John climbs up on the ring apron where he steps over the top rope and into the ring joining Slater who is back to his feet. The Glorious New Breed join Chris in the ring as they're looking towards the "hard camera" as the music fades away.
"CHRONIC" CHRIS PAGE- "How fucked are the both of you."
Chris tosses the microphone down to the mat as the fans pop loudly for "Chronic" Chris Page and the Glorious New Breed as they're ready for tonight's huge Six Person Tag Team Attraction. The scene cuts to the loading dock of the arena.
BIGG RIGG IS IN THE HOUSE!
A black Hummer is shown arriving in the loading dock as it pulls to a stop. The crowd pops as "BIGG RIGG" John Gambino steps out of the drivers side. Gambino is approached by Denise Essex who has a microphone in hand.
DENISE ESSEX- "Bigg Rigg! What are you doing here tonight? You aren't scheduled to appear."
JOHN GAMBINO- "Let's just say anytime my opponents are in action I'll always been closer than anyone might think."
John winks at Denise as he heads backstage and we return to ringside.

Baxter: A lot of erratic behaviour from Andy the past few weeks.
Diamond: Apparently upper management is very upset that he has not been doing his scheduled appearances in the past weeks. Lets hope we see the best Andy Johnson tonight!!!
“Every Day Normal Guy” By John Lajoie blasts over the PA system as the crowd jumps to their feet. A crowd of people come out onto the ramp as Andy Johnson stands atop of them on his surf board making his way down to the ring. To be in the Halloween spirit he is dressed up as Tristan Slater as the crowd roars. The crowd surfs him down on his board right to the ring. Andy quickly jumps up to the top rope and spring boards into the ring catching Dustin Holt by complete surprise with a springboard hurricanrana!
Baxter: Whoa!!!
The bell sounds as Holt is till trying to figure out what is going on. Holt gets up and is met by a flurry of right hands that send him into the corner.

Main Event
Six Man Tag Team Attraction
CHRISTIAN CONNOLLY, ALYCE STARCHYLDE AND M.D.K. (c)
versus
CHRIS PAGE, "GLORIOUS" TRISTAN SLATER and JOHN "THE BEAST" CABLE (c)
The fans ERUPT as the house lights dim to darkness! The drums and guitar kick in as a single spotlight hits the top of the ramp revealing the back of Tristan Slater who is dressed in a blue robe with diamond trim and the word "GLORIOUS" written across the back of the robe with his arms extended out in a "Glorious pose". The lyrics hit and as Tristan spins around the fans ROAR! The ovation grows as the Intercontinental Champion JOHN CABLE emerges out to the top of the ramp where he walks with a purpose towards the ring; the Intercontinental Title strapped around his waist. The Glorious One starts to make his walk towards the ring while we see John has already climbed up on the ring apron before stepping over the top rope and into the squared circle where he starts pacing back and forth like a caged animal.
Masters: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a six person tag team match! Making their way to the ring first at a combined weight of 512lbs… The team of the Intercontinental Champion John ‘the Beast’ Cable and Tristan Slater… The Glorious… NEW BREED!”
Tristan reaches ringside where he makes his way up the steel steps to the ring apron. He motions for the referee to open the ropes. The official sits on the middle rope while pushing up on the top rope. The Glorious One steps through the ropes and into the ring where he takes centre ring. A spotlight shines down on him as he removes his robe revealing a pair of long blue tights with black boots. Air brushed on the crotch of the tights is a head shot of Alyce Starchylde with a lollypop in her mouth. Tristan breaks out into a Glorious Gyration to a roar from the crowd.
Diamond: “These two more than anybody else in recent months the damage that M.D.K. can do and it’s refreshing to see Tristan Slater back to himself.”
Baxter: “He says he was in Wonderland the last few weeks. Do you think he just drank that potion and shrank last week?”
Diamond: “That was a midget…”
Baxter: “So he says…”
The house lights come back up as the music fades away leaving a solid chant of "GLOR-IOUS! GLOR-IOUS! GLORIOUS NEW-BREED!"
Tristan and John talk a few things over as
"Zero" by Smashing Pumpkins starts to play and the crowd pop peaks as Chris Page emerges at the top of the ramp. He gestures to his waist to where a belt could be after Caged In before making his way down to the ring.
Masters: “And their partner, from Detroit, Michigan and weighing in at 220lbs… He is the Number One Contender to the WGWF World Heavyweight Championship… Chronic… CHRIS… PAGE!”
Diamond: “Tristan Slater said earlier this week that all three men standing in that ring right now are all gunning for the World Heavyweight Champion. What does that say to you?”
Baxter: “That these pussies would be triggered by anything?”
Page bumps knuckles with both Slater and Cable as the lights change and "Keep It 100" by Grandtheft & Keys N Krates starts to play. A mixed reaction as Christian Connolly appears at the top of the ramp and slowly makes his way down to the ring.
Masters: “And their opponents… Introducing first, from Norfolk, Virginia and weighing in at 235lbs… Christian Connolly!”
He climbs into the ring and all three opponents respectfully remove themselves as Connolly poses and the crowd reaction turns instantly hostile as the strains of K Flay’s ‘Blood in the Cut’ drifts through the air as Alyce steps out on the entrance ramp.
Masters: “His tag team partner, from Hollywood California and weighing in at 135lbs… Alyce… STARCHYLDE!”
Her head bounces softly in time to the music and then she lurches forward down the aisle towards the ring. She doesn’t seem to notice the crowd as her haunted eyes stare towards the ring. She approaches, slides under the ring ropes and slouches in a corner as she stares at Connolly who looks uneasy. The heat spikes as 'Charlie Big Potato' by Skunk Anansie plays and M.D.K. stands cockily on the entranceway. The title is on his shoulder and he sports a long coat. As the drums kick in he pulls the jacket apart to reveal a t-shirt that simply says #TeamWeinstein. He drops the coat and turns around to show another message that reads… ‘No Means Hard to Get’.
Diamond: “Oh boy…”
Baxter: “I’m not going to comment on that. I have enough hate on social media as it is…”
Masters: “*Sigh* And their tag team partner… from Las Vegas, Nevada by way of London England… He weighs in at 270lbs and is the WGWF World Heavyweight Champion… M… D… K!!!”
M.D.K. climbs into the ring and Alyce bends over and M.D.K. pats her on the backside before she turns around and wags a finger at him mockingly admonishing him as he takes the t-shirt off and throws it into the crowd. Connolly shakes his head as their opponents climb onto the ring apron and the referee starts to control the crowd.
Diamond: “Just for getting it under control at this very moment, this referee deserves a medal!”
M.D.K. gestures to himself that he will kick the match off and suddenly all three of his opponents are jostling for position to climb into the ring with him until the biggest man amongst the trio steps boldly into the middle of the ring and the bell rings to kick things off.
Baxter: “Here! We! Go!”
Cable takes a step towards the World Champion and he responds by tagging in Christian Connolly and ducking out of the ring to the rage of the crowd who respond with a huge chorus of boos.
Diamond: “M.D.K. playing the mind games early.”
Connolly steps into the ring and he and Cable touch knuckles in a sign of respect to each other before tying up with a collar and elbow tie-up. Cable quickly gets the upper hand and drives Connolly into the neutral corner before delivering a quick could of knees to the mid-section before taking a step backwards and charging forward to deliver a heavy knee. He takes Connolly by the back of the head, backs him into the ropes and whips him across the ring. C2 hits the ropes and ducks the clothesline attempt, hits the opposite ropes and hits a diving tackle to the knees of Cable that wobbles the Intercontinental Champion.
Cable staggers backwards as Connolly holds onto the legs of Cable but the Beast drives an elbow into the point of Connolly that immediately drives the fight out of him before hitting a couple of knees to the face and chest of the Suntan Superman that arches him back to a vertical base before almost decapitating him with a lariat! He reaches out and tags in Slater who gets a warm reaction as he hops through the ropes and hits a few quick knees to the kneeling Connolly before hauling C2 to his feet and dropping him with a DDT! He makes a cover!
1!
2!
But Connolly pops out with authority and Slater sits up with a smirk. He looks up at Connolly’s corner and waves sarcastically as M.D.K. and Alyce simply glare at him. Slater delivers a few forearms to the face and neck of Christian before whipping him into his corner and following up with a flying knee that comes with a tag to Page as it connects to the delight of the crowd.
Page squares up to C2 and delivers a few placed punches to the head and body of the Suntan Superman before wrapping him up and shitting a snap suplex! He turns to Connolly’s corner and talks trash before picking Connolly up by the head and delivering a chop before whipping him into the ropes. Page goes for a standing drop-kick but Connolly holds onto the top rope and Page crashes to the mat stomach first. Connolly chases him down and hits a running leg-drop across the back of the number one contender and rolls through to hit Alyce with a tag.
Baxter: “Big tag to the queen of the WGWF!”
The crowd boos as the Queen of the WGWF slithers through the ropes and delivers a series of brutal stomps to the back of the champion with a snarl etched across her face. She drags Page up by his hair and synchs in a stiff headlock but Page pushes her off and into the ropes. Alyce nimbly ducks the clothesline attempt by Page and stops in her tracks and as ‘Chronic’ turns around, Alyce greets him with a high standing leap that leads into a hurricanrana that sends Page crashing to the mat! Starchylde gets to her feet and poses to the baying crowd as she points to tagging in the World Champion and the crowd pop to see the two participants in the Caged In Main Event go toe to toe early on. But she wags her finger and the crowd boos in response as she stalks Page as he gets onto all fours and drops a knee across the back of his neck which plants his face into the mat to the rage of the crowd.
Diamond: “Alyce pressing the crowd’s buttons early on.”
Baxter: “It’s not hard to upset this mob…”
She drags Page up to his feet and calls the referee over to her left side. She asks him to check for something in her eye and as he checks, Alyce mule kicks the number one contender in the groin to the disgust of the fans and to Slater and Cable on the outside who call for the referee to see sense. As Page drops to the mat, she thanks the referee and blows him a kiss playfully.
Diamond: “How naïve is that referee? Falling for such a pathetic trick!”
Page coughs and tries to compose himself as Starchylde drags him back to his face and drops him straight back down with a side Russian leg sweep and drapes an arm across Page to make a cover!
1!
2!
But Page powers out and Alyce sits up with an irritated look. She picks Page’s arm up and wrenches it around fully before dragging down on it. She delivers a few kicks to the arm socket before whipping him into the corner but Page manages to reverse it and Alyce slams into the neutral corner and tags in Slater as she recovers a little and staggers out of the corner and is met by a Japanese arm-drag from her Caged In opponent. She takes a knee and Slater follows it with a Yakuza kick to the side of her head and then taunts the World Heavyweight Champion and Christian Connolly in the corner and makes a title gesture to his waist and M.D.K. responds with a hand gesture of his own.
Slater pulls Alyce back up to her feet and hits a couple of knife edge chops that evoke ‘woos’ from the crowd before he drops her with a European uppercut! He nonchalantly steps over Starchylde and doesn’t break eye contact with the champion as he hits a standing moonsault onto Starchylde to the astonishment of the crowd. He pops back to his feet and flips off M.D.K. to the delight of the crowd as the Champion shakes his head and turns to Connolly and calls Slater a peasant as Slater drags Alyce back to her feet and offers her limp hand to M.D.K. for a tag but the champion wafts it away with disdain as Slater shakes his head and then drops her with a back suplex!
Slater then charges into the opposite ropes and leaps over Alyce to run to the opposite ropes to build momentum but M.D.K. pulls the rope down and Slater tumbles over the top rope and crashes to the outside! M.D.K. immediately bears down on the Glorious One with furious kicks and stomps to the downed adversary as both Page and Cable charge across the ring to intervene only to be stopped at first by the referee and then by Connolly who steps in to calm the situation down which allows Alyce time to recover and time for M.D.K. to continue the assault as he drags the former champion to his feet and runs him into the steel steps and then into the guard rail in one fluid motion before dragging him back over to the apron and dumping him back into the ring as Alyce is back to her feet and is recovering in her corner as the referee gets the contenders back under control. M.D.K. climbs onto the apron once again, calmly tidies himself up and takes a hold of the tag rope and smiles falsely as he asks for the tag and Alyce obliges as the crowd boo vociferously.
The World Heavyweight Champion drags the limp Slater up to his feet and drives stiff knees into his ribs before adjusting Slater and dropping him with a fisherman’s suplex! He rolls over and stands up and delivers a couple of stomps to Slater before waving at the opposite corner as he rests his foot across the throat of the Glorious One causing him to flail his feet wildly as the referee counts for a break. M.D.K. then breaks it by stepping fully onto the neck of Slater and sauntering towards an enraged Cable and Page and flipping each of them the bird. Cable goes to charge through the ropes and M.D.K. backs away as Starchylde slips into the ring and connects with a few cheap shots and slips out quickly without the referee noticing. M.D.K. drags Slater up and slaps him hard against his face and pushes him back into the ropes and barks at Connolly to hold him still. Connolly obliges with a sigh as M.D.K. unleashes a flurry of lefts and rights before pointing at Alyce and delivering a brutal head-butt to the nose of Slater who crumples to the mat. He asks for her review of his headbutt and she gestures to say ‘so-so’. M.D.K. shrugs his shoulders and tags in Connolly who steps through the ropes and M.D.K. pokes him in the chest and mouths three words…
‘Don’t fuck up’
Connolly shakes his head in disgust at the champion and picks Slater up and hits a couple of forearms before whipping Slater into the ropes and as he returns, drops the Glorious One with a picture perfect Samoan drop. M.D.K. and Starchylde look impressed and offer a polite applause to Connolly as he sits up and picks up Slater and hits a few knees before forcing Slater into the corner and tagging in Alyce who scoots through the middle ropes and hits a few quick kicks to Slater before climbing the body of Slater and hitting a flip crescent kick to the chin of the former World Champion! Alyce plants back on her feet and tags in a still stunned M.D.K. who steps through the ropes and plants his foot straight onto the outstretched fingers of Slater. M.D.K. drags Slater up and delivers a forearm shot before a European Uppercut that rattles the former champion into the corner where he tags in Alyce who connects with a flurry of quick kicks before grabbing the arm of Slater and whips him into the opposite corner. Slater crashes in and Alyce follows up with a handspring back-elbow but nobody is home and Alyce’s head bounces off of the turnbuckle and she staggers into the centre of the ring. Slater – who has ducked to the outside leaps onto the top rope and hits a springboard bulldog onto Slater which gets the crowd onto their feet!
Diamond: “A sign of life from the Glorious One and every single person in this arena is urging him to his corner.”
Slater slowly starts dragging himself to the outstretched hands of Cable and Page as Alyce makes her way over to C2 and M.D.K. as the crowd are chanting Slater’s name. Slater makes one last lunge and takes in Cable as Alyce tags in Connolly to a roar from the crowd. Cable storms across the ring and levels Christian with a clothesline before Alyce is back to her feet but is soon back down courtesy of a Cable clothesline of her own! M.D.K. charges towards the Man Beast and is met with a huge boot to the face before catching Connolly as he goes for a leaping lariat and turns it into a rib breaker!
Diamond: “Cable is cleaning house!”
Connolly rolls away as Alyce goes for a chop block from behind as M.D.K. hits a running clothesline but Cable is able to duck the shot from Tenegra and as Alyce slides in, he drives a boot hard into the back of the Mad Queen! M.D.K. goes to tackle Cable to the mat but he is intercepted by Page who tackles the champion to the outside and the pair Brawl to the delight of the crowd! As the pair brawl, Connolly has revered and is on his feet as Cable beckons him on but as Cable lunges forwards, Alyce is holding onto one of his tree trunk legs. Cable tries to shake her off and as he’s distracted, Connolly capitalises and boots the Intercontinental Champion in the mid-section and locks him up for the Crowning Glory but the Man Beast throws Connolly to the side and delivers a boot to the midsection of his own to Connolly and is about to deliver a Waking Nightmare….
“BEEP, BEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.”
Baxter: “What the hell?”
Green, white and red pyros burst up along the stage before one final ball of fire blasts up from the centre of the stage leaving a cloud of smoke pouring toward the ceiling of the arena. After a few minutes of silence, leaving the crowd with nothing but questions of what is to come....a familiar song blasts over the PA system.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDibcVCusgY
John Gambino marches down the ramp to a huge ovation from the crowd. He marches down to the ring and past the carnage going on the outside.
Diamond: “John Gambino is here! Why is he here?”
Baxter “He’s checking on his Caged In opposition!”
Diamond: “I don’t think so! Look!”
Gambino swaggers over to the timekeeper’s bench and strokes the World Heavyweight Championship before picking up and resting it on his shoulder.
Baxter: “He’s just trying on his belt that he’ll be taking at Caged In…”
He poses for it and smirks at Cable who drops Connolly and steps towards the ropes. Gambino beckons the champion onwards and Page who has broken away from M.D.K. slaps the Man Beast on the back for a blind tag. Cable climbs out of the ring and towards Gambino who squares up to the champion over the title as Cable calmly moves towards Big Rig and takes the title away from him and places it over his shoulder to a huge response from the crowd. Connolly suddenly appears behind Cable and takes the title off of the Man Beast’s shoulder and places it on his own to heat from the crowd as Cable goes to take it back, Gambino reaches for the belt and soon all three men are pushing and shoving. Gambino swings for Cable but instead connects with Connolly and soon all three are brawling and tumble over the guard rail where the brawl continues into the crowd!
Diamond: “And that will leave us with just four people! Alyce tagged herself in before Connolly left the ring so it is she and Page who are legal!”
Baxter: “And Tristan is still out for the count on the outside! M.D.K. and his Queen are stirring and Page could be in trouble!”
Page lunges for Starchylde but a pair of arms wrap around his waist and M.D.K. drives him to the mat with a German suplex as the referee tries to regain control of this match! He forces M.D.K. out of the ring but as he does, an enraged Page tries to lunge at the champion but instead, M.D.K. drags the referee into his path and gets flattened from the leaping superman punch!
Diamond: “The referee is down and this looks bad for the number one contender!”
As the referee drops, Page backs M.D.K. into the corner and unleashes a flurry of lefts and rights. He then howls in pain as Alyce drops him with a low blow from behind and with no referee, anything goes. She helps M.D.K. back to his feet and the pair unleash a series of furious boots to the downed body of Chris Page as the crowd chant for Slater.
Diamond: “Slater is down still and that isn’t like him.”
A replay comes up that during the commotion with the Intercontinental contenders, M.D.K. took his sceptre and flattened Slater with a shot to the temple which explains Slater being out for the count. Back in the ring, Alyce holds Page in place as he delivers boxing style punches to the ribs and body of the challenger as the crowd chants that this is bullshit. M.D.K. returns the favour as Alyce backs into the ropes and charges forwards and delivers a running Red Queen to Page but the Chronic One drops down and it is M.D.K. who gets the forehead smash that drops the World Heavyweight Champion! She places her hands to her head and screams in frustration as Page spins her around and boots her hard in the midsection before hitting a Page Plant that gets the crowd on their feet! He hooks the leg!
.
.
.
.
But the referee is still out and Page splutters and curses his luck as he sits up. He slowly pulls himself to his feet and makes his way over to the referee where he tries to rouse him with a tap which turns to a shake. Page’s eyes widen as M.D.K. grabs Page by the waist and drives him down with another German Suplex! The crowd boos as he rolls through and hits a Dragon Suplex! He rolls through again and locks up the arms of the challenger and goes for the Strait-Jacket Suplex but Page locks his leg and delivers a mule kick to M.D.K. who releases the hold Page staggers back to the ropes. M.D.K. staggers forwards and Page meets him and in one fluid motion boots M.D.K. in the midsection and sets him up for a High Times flip pile-driver but M.D.K. hammers away at the number one contender and Page releases and M.D.K. goes for a HellShot but Page elbows M.D.K. in the back of the head, drives a knee into the stomach of the champion, locks up the arms and…
Diamond: “PAGE PLANT! PAGE PLANT ONTO THE CHAMPION!”
Baxter: “NO! NO! STAY DOWN REFEREE!”
Alyce is stirring but then her eyes widen as a bloodied but recovered Slater pulls her out of the ring towards him and greets her with a punch as the referee now stirs and Page hooks the leg!
1!
2!
3!
The crowd cheer! Derrick Diamond cheers and fans around the world are on their feet as the bell rings and Hail to the King plays.
Masters: “The winners of the match. Tristan Slater, John Cable and Chronic… Chris… PAGE!”
The referee holds a weary Page’s arm high as a smirk crawls across his face. He rolls to the outside and grabs the World Heavyweight Championship and stands astride the unconscious champion and holds the title aloft as the fans go wild!
Diamond: “Is this a preview of what is to come at Caged In!”
Baxter: “It’s a pipe dream… a fantasy and nothing more!”
Diamond: “There is only one way to find out and that is to tune into Caged In… Who will walk out as World Heavyweight Champion? Who will cement their legacy over the other? Who will walk out of the war unscathed?”
The final image is on Chris Page dropping the title across the motionless body of M.D.K. as the credits roll.
