Dark Matches: Sekino The Stunt Pilot defeated local talen Harriet York, Strawberry Bates Hill defeated local talent Tyler Ford

Edward Findleton: Welcome to HAW! We are in Hartford, Connecticut and we are one week away from One Way Trip!

THE Casey Gains: And a huge main event, as Crash MuscleGate and Oden Schreiner will take on Sean O’Toole…and Douglas Brunswick!

Edward Findleton: But first, we have all four teams in the ring for the HAW Women’s Tag Team Championship standing by with Gregory Greystone!

Gregory Greystone: Hello ladies and gentlemen! Just a few weeks ago, all these women were in the ring, and a great discussion was had. Summer Fun, Solo Girls, Strange Crew, Exotic Delights, I’d like to welcome you all back to continue our discussion. Question 1, with so many competitors, what do-

Before Gregory could say anything, Lela LaCruse and Phueng Ahunai jumped the Solo Girls, Crystal Cyclone and Rachel. Gregory ran away, while the Strange Crew and Summer Fun backed up watching the two competitors fight. Lela Irish whipped Rachel to the ropes, and went for a flying clothes line. Rachel ducked, and Lela collided with Smiling Sally, who briefly stumbled, then turned her gaze right at Lela. 

Jessie Parran tried to stop Sally, but Sally grabbed Lela and tossed into the turnbuckle and started stomping on her. Rachel jumped Jessie, and eventually the six fighting teams stumbled outside the ring. Daisy Fields and Maple Blossom both nodded to each other, and simultaneously ran towards the ropes, jumped, and hit all the women outside with double planchas. Daisy and Maple stood up and pumped up the crowd.

THE Casey Gains: One move won’t decide the match next week at One Way Trip, it’s going to be a series of them, but all these women are ready to become the first ever Women’s tag champs!

Edward Findleton: While we clear the action outside the ring, get ready for action inside the ring as we have Peter “Carnage” Horn facing Sensei Onaga next!

The Samurais of Power’s music played, and the three men came down to the ring, encouraging Sensei Onaga. Peter “Carnage” Horn came out next, accompanied by Alfred Karneus.

Sensei Onaga put up a valiant effort, but Peter “Carnage” Horn hit the Side Sitout Powerslam in 4:46.

As the final bell rang, Horn picked up Sensei Onaga, and delivered a second Side Sitout Powerslam. This prompted Trickshot and Ozzie Reagan to run into the ring, and started attacking Horn. They backed him into a corner, but he managed to push Trickshot away, then hit Ozzie Reagan with a headbutt. Trickshot ran at Horn again but ran straight into a clothesline. Horn then delivered a Side Sitout Powerslam to both Trickshot and Ozzie Reagan, as Alfred Karneus took a mic and walked into the ring.

Alfred Karneus: And just like that……Chapter four in the Book of Carnage…is complete. 

Karneus tossed the mic onto Sensei Onaga, and left the two men left the ring.

Edward Findleton: And Peter “Carnage” Horn has successfully defeated ALL of the Samurais of Power.

THE Casey Gains: Not the start these guys wanted in HAW, but definitely the start that Peter Horn wanted!

Backstage, Jack Trailor was walking around, and found Ruslan Panov.

Jack Trailor: Ruslan, have you seen Glenny Pax? 

Ruslan Panov: Sorry Jack, I haven’t.

Jack nodded and continued looking around, before finding Kherti Bhakta.

Jack Trailor: Kherti, have you seen Glenny these past few months? Or even know anything about those masked men last week?

Kherti: No…but I’ll keep an eye out!

Jack sighed and walked to catering, where a lot of the roster was eating.

Jack Trailor: Does anyone know anything about the masked men?!

The room was silent, and Jack walked away in frustration down a hall. As he got further out of view, a door he had passed opened up, and a golden masked head peeked out at him.

Back at ringside, Pastor James promo music played, and he walked down to the ring.

Pastor James: Brothers…sisters….children of God. Last week was a glorious week, as we reigned victorious over our foes! I couldn’t have done it without the help of a dear friend of mine, Kenneth Cobb. And I know he couldn’t have done it without me. Mr. Cobb…I want you to join me in the ring. To talk man to man.

Kenneth Cobb’s music played, and he walked out with the National championship.

Kenneth Cobb: James…..I’m going to admit. You helped me last week. I’m still not entirely sure if…if you’re being honest. I don’t know if this is the real you now…but I know the old James Calhoun would have never done that.

Pastor James: Life..it is full of challenges. It’s not easy. You need someone by your side. I’m not saying you need me. I’m saying…you need him.

James pointed up to the sky and smiled.

Pastor James: And I know how you can connect with him. That National title…it’s a burden. It’s changed you, and made you a violent person. But you can let that pain go, you can let that all go and take comfort in the embrace of the Lord…by relinquishing the title…to me.

Edward Findleton: And there we go! That was the plan!

The crowd booed, and Cobb looked around, unsure of himself.

Pastor James: Go ahead! It will set you free! Change your life! Relinquish the title!

Cobb took the National title off his shoulder and stared at it. Pastor James held out his hands, and Cobb placed it in the hands of James. The booing crowd grew louder, and Pastor James smiled.

Pastor James: I’m so happy for you Kenneth! You have changed your life, and crowned me the new-

James was cut off as Cobb kicked Pastor James in the gut. Cobb then got behind him and locked in the sleeper hold, until Pastor James was out of it. Cobb picked the title off the ground and held it high in the air, before putting it back on his shoulder and exiting the ring.

THE Casey Gains: And he didn’t fall for it! It looks like Pastor James will have to earn that title the old fashioned way next week, and defeat The Insomniac!

Jack Trailor was walking backstage, when he suddenly stopped. He took a few steps backwards towards some boxes, then quickly pushed them away. One of the golden masked men was there, and Trailor grabbed him, and tossed him into the wall. Jack Trailor then pinned him to the ground by his neck.

Jack Trailor: Who are you?! What are you doing?!

?????: I’m…a visitor. We visitors are here. We are watching you.

Jack Trailor: Why!?

Visitor: To scout you….for our leader. You will be in a match with him next week!

Jack Trailor: Who’s your leader?! Take me to your leader!

The lights backstage then went out, and when they came back on, the Visitor was gone. Jack looked around upset, before walking off.

Edward Findleton: So there we have it, next week it’s Jack Trailor vs a leader! But up now, it’s our main event tag match.

THE Casey Gains: Wait, you’re just casually brushing this to the side that strange masked men are attacking Jack Trailor and have a leader that-

Edward Findleton: And here comes the MuscleGang!

Oden and Crash came down to the ring alone. Moments later, Sean O’Toole came down, then Douglas Brunswick.

Edward Findleton: Sean O’Toole, the non O’Toole tag champion, and Douglas Brunswick, the former World Champion representing their allies who each have title matches with the MuscleGang! Should make for an interesting match!

All four men showed they were capable in the match, delivering a great match. Oden was starting to size Sean O’Toole up for a chokeslam, when Franco Mancini and Fergus O’Toole ran down to the ring. Referee Tom Hunter tried to get them away, and ended up being helped as Frederic St. Pierre and Lovable Liam rushed down to fight the Trans Atlantic Family members. With the distractions, Mayor Briggs came from the crowd and slid into the ring with a chair. He smashed Oden across the back then slid out. Sean tagged in Douglas, who hit Oden with a Lifting Reverse DDT, and pinned him at 12:19.

As Crash tried to tend to Oden, Mayor Briggs jumped him from behind. Briggs hit a half and half suplex on Crash, then covered him, as Douglas Brunswick made a quick 3 count. Douglas ran out of the ring and grabbed the HAW World Title and gave it to Mayor Briggs, who held it up in the air victoriously.

Edward Findleton: Folks, I’m getting official word that is not a recognized title change. Our match is still on, and Crash is still champion.

THE Casey Gains: But once again, Mayor Briggs with the mind games. It looks like he plans on wearing that title into their match at One Way Trip.

Edward Findleton: Well this could be the real thing next week, Casey. Thank you once again for joining us, and we’ll see you next week at One Way Trip! Good night!

 Dark Matches: Hannah Rivers defeated local talent Natasha York, and Travis Samuels defeated local talent Vinay Khan

HAW Kicked off with the music of Peter “Carnage” Horn.

Edward Findleton: Welcome to HAW! We are in Boston tonight, and it looks like we’re wasting no time getting the show started with our first match!

Horn came out with Alfred Karneus, who had a microphone ready:

Alfred Karneus: Peter…Carnage…Horn. Do you remember the name now? I gave you all a pass for forgetting about him during the tour. But after what you saw last week, you can’t forget his name. This man is a machine, destined to pulverize the entire HAW roster. Chapter three in the Book of Carnage will be written tonight. Remember it. Remember his name, remember this night, and remember-

Alfred Karneus was cut off as the Samurais of Power’s music played. Trickshot and Sensei Onaga ran out on the stage, then stood on both sides of the entrance and clapped their hands as Ozzie Reagan came sprinting down to the ring.

THE Casey Gains: Edward, I’m not so sure angering Alfred Karneus or Peter Horn is a good idea…but it looks like the Samurais of Power did just that by cutting off the promo. 

Peter “Carnage” Horn came out of the gate fast, defeating Ozzie Reagan with a Side Sitout Powerslam in 1:45

Edward Findleton: Another dominant performance by Horn!

THE Casey Gains: Edward, I know so far he’s just gone against two rookies, but we’re forgetting he’s a rookie himself. Very impressive performance from Horn!

Edward Findleton: Indeed it is! But folks, I’m getting word that we’re going to an interview backstage with Gregory Greystone! Gregory?

Backstage, Gregory Greystone was with Pastor James Calhoun and Kenneth Cobb.

Gregory Greystone: Hello ladies and gentlemen! I’m here with the two competitors for the HAW National Championship, but on a more fun note, two unlikely tag team partners tonight! Pastor James, how do you feel about teaming up with The Insomniac tonight?

Pastor James: Gregory, there’s only one way to answer that question…and it’s an honor. It’s an honor to be teaming with a champion. It’s an honor to help him, inside and outside of the ring. Mr. Cobb, if there’s anything you need, I will pray for you. I will ask the Lord to ease your suffering! I will-

Kenneth Cobb: Calhoun, I don’t need your prayers…or your help. I don’t need you at all, and if I were to answer Gregory’s question, I’d have to say that I’m ashamed to be your partner tonight. I generally don’t team up with con artist…but if that’s what I’m forced to do tonight, that’s what I’ll do.

Pastor James: Mr. Cobb, I won’t lie. Those words hurt me. They sting my very soul. But I know the pain I’m feeling, is nothing compared to the pain our savior went through the day he went up on that cross.

Kenneth Cobb: I hope when we finally face each other, I make you feel more pain than Jesus did.

Pastor James: Please listen! Can’t you see I’m trying to improve your life? Just..open it…let the lord in!

Kenneth Cobb: Your reputation is set in stone Calhoun. No one in this company trusts you.

Pastor James: You can deny me three times….but rest assured, I will be your savior tonight.

Pastor James walked away, and Cobb shook his head in anger.

Gregory Greystone: We have tag team action next! Stick around!

Gospel music played in the arena, and Pastor James made his way down to the ring:

Edward Findleton: Casey, how do you think this will go with Pastor and The Insomniac as partners?

THE Casey Gains: From the looks of it, Pastor James has wrestling entrance music and promo entrance music. Cobb is probably right now to trust him.

The Insomniac came out next, eyeing James the whole time. Eventually their opponents came out, Rough Hog Reid Harrison and Local Legend Danny Miller.

The match had shaky teamwork from James and Cobb, but it paid off. As Danny Miller distracted the ref, Reid Harrison grabbed the National Championship, and was about to blast Cobb in the head with it. Pastor James pushed Cobb out of the way, getting hit instead. Rough Hog was surprised, allowing Cobb to capitalize with a Sleeper Hold, and pick up the victory in 6:17.

Edward Findleton: And a heroic sacrifice by Pastor James gets his team the victory!

James slowly got to his knees, and Cobb gave a large sigh, before extending his hand to help Pastor James up. James finally got on his feet, then raised Cobb’s hand in the air. 

Edward Findleton: Is Cobb warming up to Pastor James?

THE Casey Gains: Kenneth Cobb can thank James for that victory…but I highly doubt he’s forgotten that they’ll be facing each other in two weeks at One Way Trip!

Edward Findleton: And speaking of One Way Trip, we’ll be hearing from the World Champion in just a moment!

The MuscleGang’s music played, and out came Crash, Frederic, Liam and Oden.

Crash: Last week, we had my championship…celebration…first promo but not really a first promo…thing. Event. 

Lovable Liam: Extravaganza!

Crash: Yes! Extravaganza! But this week, we are going to have the PRE….tag team championship celebration extravaganza! Because you’re looking at the next tag team champions, Lovable Liam and Frederic St. Pierre!

St. Pierre waited for the crowd’s cheers to die down, then spoke up.

Frederic: It is no guarantee, mon ami. Franco Mancini…one of the best ever. The O’Tooles? Tag team masters. We will give it our all.

Crash: And win and become the next tag team champions! Then the MuscleGang will have the World Title! The Tag Titles! Oden can win the national title! And then we can probably just offer invitations to whoever holds the women’s titles, and we’ll have them all!

Franco: Not happening Crash.

Franco Mancini and The O’Toole Brothers walked out on stage and made their way down to the ring.

Franco: Listen, listen. It’s cute. Fun little fantasy you got. A group holding all the titles, that’s cool. A lot of people dream about that….but no chance. You really think you can beat us? Crash, I was THIS CLOSE to being the HAW World Champion the last time we met. I could beat you Crash. I could beat Liam. I can beat St. Pierre. So can Fergus, so can Sean. Honestly, if this company was fair, the three of us would be holding all the titles.

Oden Schreiner: You will hold no titles! You will lose the tag team championship! Then, you will lose the NRWL TItle to The Bean!

The crowd erupted in cheers and Franco looked furious as “Bean” chants started

Franco: Don’t even start big guy. Because I’m not afraid of you….and I sure as hell ain’t afraid of a Bean!

Mayor Briggs music hit, and he started to make his way out with Douglas Brunswick.

Mayor Briggs: Whoa, whoa….Franco Mancini! Lookin’ a little tense there, eh? Come on mate, just accept the fact you’re….being phased out.

Franco: What?!

Mayor Briggs: Hey, don’t take offense, not trying to start anything. My beef is with Crash, not you. But….you’re kinda takin’ my spotlight, ok? This is World Champion time, this is a young man’s game. I’m sorry that you’re losing a year to squander around the tag division, but can you just leave and let the focus be on me for a bit? 

Franco: Who do you think you’re talking to right now? There’s no one better than me in the world. It’s a fact.

Mayor: No, no! I get it! You were relevant like…what, 20,25 years ago? I’m not saying you can’t have your last run!

Franco Mancini: You god damn freak, I’m in my prime! I just turned 34!

Mayor: Ew….you’re in your 30’s…Douglas, this ring is like a nursing home.

Franco threw his mic down and looked like he was ready for a fight. The O’Tooles also looked over at the Muscle Gang, and the three groups started to square each other up, when suddenly Jack Trailor’s music hit.

Edward Findleton: Jack Trailor?!

All the men in the ring looked confused as Trailor made his way down to the ring. He entered, walked past all the wrestlers, and went to his corner and started to warm up. Mayor Briggs slowly approached him.

Mayor Briggs: …What are you doing?

Jack Trailor: You and I have a match tonight.  I heard your music and rushed out here.

Mayor Briggs: Mate, we’re the main event! This isn’t main event time!

Jack Trailor: Oh….sorry. 

Jack Trailor started to leave, but stopped and turned around.

Jack Trailor: By the way…have any of you seen my friend Glenny Pax? I haven’t been able to track him down since the tour.

All three groups looked at each other, then shook their heads no.

Jack Trailor: That’s disappointing….thank you.

Jack Trailor left the ring. Mayor Briggs shrugged, and he and Douglas exited as well. Franco and the O’Tooles gave one last look at the MuscleGang, and exited too.

Crash: ………Well with that being said, let’s give it up once again…for your future tag team champions!

Edward Findleton: High tensions all around! Jack Trailor will be facing Mayor Briggs in the main event tonight, but coming up next, Rachel vs Mary Jane Elder!

As the next match segment started, Mary Jane Elder made her way to the ring. Moments later, Rachel came out, with Crystal Cyclone in her corner.

THE Casey Gains: The Solo Girls are here, and they made some bold statements on the microphone last week, it’s time to see is Rachel can back it up in the ring!

In a match that saw Crystal assisting Rachel in every way possible, Rachel defeated Mary Jane Elder in 8:31 after a roll up and grabbing the tights.

Edward Findleton: And Rachel picks up the victory, but definitely needed to use every trick in the book to win!

Crystal Cyclone was near the announcers desk and heard that. She went over to the announcer’s desk then grabbed the headset off Edward’s head.

Crystal: Tricks? It’s called making the most of our chances. This is our livelihood Edward. We wrestle, we need to win, and we’ve got each other’s backs. So keep talking Edward, you’ll respect our style after One Way Trip.

Crystal threw the headset back at Edward.

THE Casey Gains: Geeze Edward. Show them respect, they just won a match! You’re making us look bad!

Edward: I…apologize I guess? I need to rearrange this headset, it’s all screwed up now..we’ll be back with our main event shortly!

Mayor Briggs music hit, and he came down to the ring with Douglas Brunswick. Jack Trailor came out next, and went to the corner of the ring again. To Jack’s surprise, Crash’s music played next, and he went into the corner of Jack Trailor.

The match was fairly even, but when Jack Trailor had the upper hand. Brunswick tried to interfere In response Crash attacked Douglas Brunswick. Referee Dennis Thompson separated the men, and started to lead both of them to the back. Jack looked to be in control, when suddenly the lights in the arena flickered.

Edward Findleton: Uh oh…some sort of power surge, I think?

The lights in the arena then went completely dark, and when they came back on, multiple men dressed in whitebody suits with golden boots, gloves, and masks were in the ring. The men started attacking Jack Trailor and beat him down. With Trailor unconscious, the men fled into the stands. Dennis Thompson started to make his way back to the ring, and as Briggs regained his composure, looked confused. He pinned Jack Trailor, and got the three count in 9:52.

Edward Findleton: Who were they?!

THE Casey Gains: I’m not sure…but judging by Mayor Briggs face, I don’t think he knew either.

Edward Findleton: An unusual attack but regardless…Mayor Briggs picks up the victory tonight! The question is, can he do this again against Crash? We’ll see in two weeks! So long everybody!

 Dark Match: The Strange Crew (Drizzles/Hawaii) defeated local talent Zak Fitzpatrick and Joe Percy

The New HAW Theme played, and the crowd in the arena started cheering.

Edward Findleton: HAW is back! We kick off a new season tonight in Manchester, New Hampshire!

THE Casey Gains: There's a lot going on tonight, but we're first turning it over to our new ring announcer, Bradley Wallace who's in the ring!

Bradley Wallace: Ladies and Gentlemen...welcome back to HAW! Please give a warm welcome to the owner of HAW, Freezerman!

Freezerman's theme played, and he made his way down to the ring to the cheers of the crowd.

Freezerman: Thank you! It's great to be back, and it's so exciting to start this journey here in Manchester! Thank you again! Now I have a lot of business to get to, specifically for our upcoming show, One Way Trip. First, I want to address the tag division. During the last season of HAW, Franco Mancini and Fergus O'Toole defeated The Musical Lifeguard Chairs. However, a lot of...complicated legal matters have arisen. Franco Mancini is contracted to defend the NRWL Title against The Bean at one point in the future. An agreement through different legal teams was made, and the decision is this: Franco can defend the HAW Tag Team Championship as long as he holds it, but can not participate in any other matches until after his match with The Bean!

THE Casey Gains: I still can't believe that match is happening!

Freezerman: So tonight, our main event will be a number one contender's match to see who will face Franco and Fergus, as we will watch The Towering Blights, Viking and the Iconoclast, take on Lovable Liam and Frederic St. Pierre, the MuscleGang!

Edward Findleton: Two strong, experienced teams right there!

Freezerman: And before when I said I'm going to address the tag division, I'm not done...because I'm going to address the Women's Tag Division! At One Way Trip, all eligible teams will compete to become the first ever HAW Women's Tag Team Champions!

Edward Findleton: Wow! A new championship on the line!

Freezerman: And finally...before I go back behind the scenes...allow me to introduce the HAW Champion, Crash MuscleGate!

Crash MuscleGate came out, with the rest of the MuscleGang, Liam, Frederic, and Oden behind him. Crash had his first proper championship entrance and made sure to pose for the crowd. Freezerman shook Crash's hand and went to the back, as Crash basked in the applause.

Crash: Thank you! Thank you! Wow! This is amazing. It's an honor to be here, to STILL be your champion after nearly a year. There's been some challenges-

Lovable Liam: One challenge.

Crash: ….Yes, one challenge, but a difficult challenge none the less, and I successfully overcame that challenge!

Lovable Liam: By running a clock out!

Crash: …..Liam, I was going to beat him.

Lovable Liam: But you didn't.

Crash: Well I was about to.

Lovable Liam: Probably about to. You did very well, but we need to accurately recap what happened, it's been months.

Crash: ...Thanks Liam. Ok, so I bravely put my title on the line, and I successfully-

At that point, Mayor Briggs' music played interrupting Crash, and he strolled out to the ring, Douglas Brunswick along his side.

Mayor Briggs: Oy, Crash...look mate, we had to listen to drone on every week on the European tour about how great you are, give it a rest, 'aight? We know you're the champ. You beat Douglas Brunswick in what you called a fair one on one fight. But you know what I think? I don't think it was fair at all.

Crash: ...Why wasn't it fair? It was just us, that's the fairest it could be.

Mayor Briggs: Exactly, it was unfair because I wasn't allowed at ring side!

Douglas: Crash, you got into my head. Maybe that was my rookie mistake. I shouldn't have agreed to that match. But we aren't making that same mistake again. I promise that I'll make sure you lose that title.

Mayor Briggs: A promise dear boy, ya hear that? Crash, we're learning from our failures. I will be your first challenger at One Way Trip. And trust me, we're going to do things the fair way.....in a one on one match for the HAW World Championship!

Crash: Isn't that...exactly what I defeated Douglas in?

Mayor Briggs: ...Exactly.

Mayor Briggs winked and pointed at his head, then threw his mic down to exit the ring as his music started up again.

Edward Findleton: Well we already know our first match for One Way Trip! We'll find out more tonight! Stay tuned!

The music of Peter “Carnage” Horn hit, and he came out to the ring accompanied by his manager, Alfred Karneus.

Alfred Karneus: Good evening. For those who don't know, my name is Alfred Karneus, and this is Peter “Carnage” Horn....ah what am I saying. Of course you know! You all saw his debut on the European Tour. The strength, the dominance, the eternal fire in his eyes to destroy every wrestler in his path. The Book of Carnage continues tonight, as we defeat every wrestler in HAW. Let's see who belongs in the next chapter.

The Samurais of Power music played, and Ozzie Reagan, Sensei Onaga, and Trickshot all came out at the top of the ramp. The three huddled together for a quick discussion, before Trickshot sprinted down to the ring and slid in to the start the match.

In a match lasting for 2:37, Peter “Carnage” Horn defeated Trickshot with a Side Sitout Powerslam.

Edward Findleton: Domination shown by Peter “Carnage” Horn tonight! Trickshot got a few punches in right at the start, but Carnage dominated the remainder.

THE Casey Gains: Alfred Karneus has to be pleased. Chapter Two in the Book of Carnage has been successfully written!

Edward Findleton: I think this book may have a lot of chapters in it to come. Don't go anywhere as next up, we're going to have new details on the HAW Women's Tag Team Championship!

As HAW returned, Gregory Greystone was standing in the ring with six of the women on the roster.

Gregory Greystones: Hello ladies and gentlemen! I'm in the ring with the Women's Tag Team challengers! I've got the Summer Fun, Maple Blossom and Daisy Fields!

The crowd gave a mildly positive reaction.

Gregory Greystone: The newest members of the Strange Crew, Jessie Parran and Smiling Sally!

The crowd cheered as Jessie waved, though Sally seemed to stand eerily still, staring straight ahead.

Gregory Greystone: And of course, The Exotic Delights, Phueng Ahunai and Lela LaCruse!

The mood of the crowd changed as they boo'ed the women, who yelled insults towards the crowd.

Gregory Greystone: This is a huge moment in HAW History. All of you have a chance to make history as the first Tag Team Champions! Sally, what do you think about that?

Gregory held the mic to Smiling Sally's mouth. At first she didn't move, but then slowly turned her head to stare Gregory down. Gregory started to back up but Jessie Parran took the mic.

Jessie: Gregory, we would be honored to be the first champions. We would establish the foundation for this division, and strive to make these the most prestigious titles in the company!

Gregory: Thank you Jessie...and Sally.....uhh, moving on! Daisy, Maple, how about the two of you? Would this be a dream come true?

Maple: This is so cool right now. I'm in the ring talking to Gregory Greystone!

Daisy: Being in HAW right now is a dream come true. There's been times where like, we were at home watching this and taking-

Maple: Alcohol.

Daisy: ...Yeah, alcohol. And it FELT like we were here. But we're here now. It's like, so much more real, when you're in person.

Maple: And the lights? So bright. But then they can change color. It's trippy....oh what was your question?

Gregory: Well I was just asking-

Gregory was cut off as Lela and Phueng took the mic from his hands.

Lela: Oh God...this is our competition? Daisy Fields, Maple Blossom....I don't know how you passed the company physical to compete in the ring, but you're going to wish you failed when we're done.

Phueng: And Jessie...you think you can beat us? Last time we got involved in each other's business, you went home crying because you lost your boyfriend! Did you curl up into bed, suck your thumb as you cried and...what, mommy bought you a little doll? Aww, how sad. Poor little Jessie needs her dolly!

*Smiling Sally's head suddenly turned towards Phueng, and she started to approach her. Phueng began to back up, when new music started to play in the stadium. Everyone stopped and looked at the entrance ramp, as Crystal Cyclone and Rachel started to come down to the ring. The two seemed to nonchalantly walk down, ignoring the fans and rolling their eyes at the attempted high fives.*

Edward Findleton: Crystal Cyclone and Rachel...new looks, new music....and maybe new challengers?

As the two women stood in the ring, everyone stared at them. A few seconds went by, and Crystal finally put her hand out, as if waiting for something. Gregory finally got the hint, took the mic and placed it in her hand.

Crystal: Finally...you're all waiting to see what I have to say and none of you think to give me the mic? Typical....but expected. All of you are just so caught up in this petty high school soap opera BS. It's kinda gross, really. Whatever, you do you. Rachel and I? We don't really care. We just know what we need to do to get some respect, and that's win these titles. I mean....Freezerman already booked Rachel in a singles match against Mary Jane Elder next week? Why? What for? Is it even going to make the TV show, or will it be bumped to a dark match, or maybe just cut entirely? So look, we're sick of the disrespect. We're a team of Solo Girls, and we're entering as competitors in this match.

Crystal threw the mic down and exited the ring with Rachel.

THE Casey Gains: Well there it is! I guess we'll be seeing The Strange Crew vs The Exotic Delights vs Summer Fun vs....The Solo Girls? All four teams certainly have a chance Edward, I can tell you that!

As the ring cleared, “The Insomniac” Kenneth Cobb's music played, and he came down to the ring with the HAW National Championship.

Kenneth Cobb: It's been a long time since I've defended this. A lot of sleepless nights, just itching to get back in this ring...fighting for something meaningful. I'm ready. I want a challenger. I want to see who my next opponent is.

Cobb waited in the ring for a bit, when modern Christian music started to play, and out from the back came Pastor James.

Edward Findleton: I was really hoping we'd be done with James Calhoun but....here he is.

*Pastor James smiled as he made his way down to the ring. James extended his hand out for a shake, but Cobb left him hanging. James then took a step closer to Cobb....and wrapped his arms around him in a hug. After a few pats on the back, he let go and grabbed a mic*

Pastor James: Lord....thank you. Thank you allowing us to share in this moment. This beautiful moment...in HAW...in wrestling...in the world. Lord, you're allowing us this to happen and we thank you. I thank you, for giving me this opportunity, to right my wrongs and give me a second chance. I can never repay you. And thank you for giving Kenneth Cobb, this fine young gentleman, the courage to come out here to provide for his family.

Kenneth Cobb: Calhoun...

Pastor James: Please...call me Pastor James.

Kenneth Cobb: …....Calhoun. Listen...you should drop this right now because no one is believing this for a second.

Pastor James: Kenneth...doubt is a natural part of life. I do not judge you for doubting me. I understand you don't believe me. But Kenneth, I know that eventually, I will get you to close your eyes...and see the light. That hug we had earlier? That will be nothing compared to the warm, safe embrace of the good Lord above, as he helps you on your next journey. I'm sorry to say you won't have your National Championship on that journey but what you will have...is a new found faith. You don't need to thank me now. It's a lot to take in, my child. But you can find me when you're ready to thank you. Can I get an Amen!?

The crowd booed Pastor James, as his music played again and he left the ring.

THE Casey Gains: I'm not sure if Pastor James was threatening to kill Kenneth Cobb or what but....

Edward Findleton: But?

THE Casey Gains: Honestly Edward, I'm lost for words. I don't know what to say to explain this transformation of James Calhoun.

Edward Findleton: I'm not sure either, but one thing we know, the HAW National Championship was going to be defended at One Way Trip....it looks like it will be Kenneth Cobb vs Pastor James! And now, we're going to have our main event to see who will challenge Franco and Fergus O'Toole for the Tag Team titles!

Frederic St. Pierre and Lovable Liam came down to the ring first representing the Muscle Gang, while Viking and The Iconoclast followed as The Towering Blights. In a match that took 10:03, Lovable Liam pinned Viking.

Edward Findleton: A well fought match on both sides, but the teamwork of the MuscleGang overcame the size of the Towering Blights.

THE Casey Gains: Let's look at the end here, Liam didn't think he could get Viking up for the Tiger Bomb...but St. Pierre assisted in the lift, and at that point they just let gravity do the rest!

As the MuscleGang celebrated in the ring, Franco Mancini, Fergus O'Toole, and Sean O'Toole came out to the top of the stage. Getting the attention of the MuscleGang, the two teams stared each other down and kept their distance. Franco raised his tag title in the air, then turned around and led the O’Tooles to the back. Liam and Fred seemed to brush off the distraction, and went back to celebrating to end the show.
