Dark Matches: The Solo Girls Rachel and Crystal Cyclone defeated Ashley Cannonball and Brooke Bolt, Sentinel defeated Tyler Ford
The HAW Theme played to kick the show off.
Edward Findleton: Welcome to HAW, where we start our next leg of our season as we get ready for Downtown Disaster tonight in Atlanta!
THE Casey Gains: Our main event is a number one contender’s match for the tag team titles as The O’Toole Brothers take on Club Corruption! But first we’re going to hear from the new HAW National Champion, King Donovan!
Donovan’s music played and he came out to the ring with Bigg Pimpin’ Alex. He held the National title up.
King Donovan: Right now, I have a message. This is the doubters. The ones who said my career was over. I was washed up, and living off an old reputation. Look at me now, I’m a champion, and you’re punks who never knew what you were talking about. King Donovan is back! Now I don’t know how it used to be around here with this title, but I’m looking for a fight. HAW, who wants a shot?!
King Donovan waited and chatted with Alex for a few moments when the lights went out. The Jumbotron came on and showed Glenny Pax in a spaceship, surrounded by Cyberhemoth and Visitors.
Glenny Pax: Greetings foolish earthling. I received your transmission single. I’ve been on a quest to take over the universe, the galaxy, the solar system, the world….why not take over…the Nation?
King Donovan: You think I’m afraid of a little alien freak like you? Bring it on. You can bring your masked friends, you can bring your giant. But just remember that to beat me, you’ll need to bring your A Game.
Glenny Pax: I have a tag team match next week. Watch it, King. You’ll see the A game you desire, and expect it to be worse when you face me.
The jumbotron feed cut out and went back to normal. Donovan shrugged, clearly unimpressed, and left with Alex.
Edward Findleton: Looks like we found a new challenger for the National Championship!
THE Casey Gains: It’s going to be a tough first title defense for King Donovan, but he’s shown he’s got what it takes so far!
Backstage, Sekino was walking with her title when she stopped. She turned behind her and noticed a cloaked figure standing behind her in the shadows. He moved forward to reveal it was indeed Jonah Webb.
Sekino: What do you want?
Jonah Webb: I want you to do what you just did. Watch your back. You’ve been mistreating this division long enough. You’ll soon meet your new nightmare.
Jonah Webb turned and walked away, as Sekino glared at him before continuing on her way.
At ringside, Phoenix’s music began to play.
Edward Findleton: We got a match coming up AND, get this, a pre-recorded promo from Phoenix to play as he walks down! Take a listen!
Phoenix: Last year, I made a mistake. I trusted the wrong person, and I lost my chance at glory. This year I’m back. I need to make a name for myself and prove that Phoenix isn’t just a flash in the pan.
THE Casey Gains: Well he had a quiet first month but he’e see what he can do tonight!
His opponent, Little Man came down next. The match began and Phoenix mostly controlled the flow, and hitting the Phoenix Splash to secure the win in 4:03
Edward Findleton: A strong win by Phoenix there! This may be the boost he needs to turn things around! As he celebrates, let’s check backstage with Gregory Greystone!
Gregory Greystone: Hello ladies and gentleman. I’m here with…Mayor Briggs!
At that point, Mayor Briggs sauntered in the frame, smiling.
Mayor Briggs: What’s up mate?
Gregory Greystone: Briggs, last week you and Brunswick, your longtime friend, were close to gaining the tag team championship. What happened?
Mayor Briggs: Ahh, yes. It’s a sad tale. No one likes to see friendships end, right? But the truth is…our friendship was turning toxic. I had all these great ideas, and he was trying to take credit for the team. He was bringing me down, and to be honest, I’m the star of the team and he was my sidekick. So I decided to be the bigger man and walk away.
Gregory Greystone: You walked away after smashing him headfirst into the turnbuckle.
Mayor Briggs: Right, I took the high road! And honestly, I hope Douglas gets the help he needs to appreciate the people in his life more.
Gregory Greystone: Oh look! Here he comes now! Oh no, is this another backstage attack?!
Douglas clobbered Briggs, then quickly hit the Lifting Reverse DDT on Briggs. Douglas looked at Gregory.
Douglas: Let it be known Gregory. I’m never the sidekick.
Douglas glared down at Briggs and walked away.
Gregory Greystone: Another safe interview! Back to Edward and Casey at ringside!
Edward Findleton: Thanks Gregory! Let’s get to some more action!
Asher Sutton made his way out, trying to pump himself up. Moments later, his opponent Franco Mancini came out looking annoyed at having to do this match. Before the match, Asher extended his hand for a shake, but Franco slapped Asher across the face. The bell rang, and Asher tried to attack, but Franco countered and took control of the match, dominating it and defeating Asher Sutton with the Pickpocket in 59 seconds. After the pinfall, Franco didn’t even bother to celebrate or let Dennis Thompson raise his hand, he simply rolled out of the ring, no hint of emotion on his face.
Edward Findleton: Well it looks like Franco Mancini had a job to take care of tonight, and he did it!
THE Casey Gains: I’m telling you Edward, ever since his loss to the Bean, this guy has changed. He’s out to prove himself this year.
Edward Findleton: And so far he’s done just that! Well as folks, as Asher Sutton gets helped to the back, earlier tonight we saw the new HAW National Champion. Unfortunately, I’m told we’re about to see the OLD HAW National Champion.
Pastor James’ music played and he came out, looking a bit solemn.
Pastor James: Brothers and Sisters, I thank all of you for joining me today. For today is a day…of mourning. I no longer possess the HAW National Championship.
The crowd started to cheer, and Pastor James smiled.
Pastor James: I appreciate the positivity and support, thank you. Because I realize that this is my chance to rise again. When we hit our valleys, that is a chance for Him to take us up to our next peak, and my friends…I want to reach a height no one has ever reached.
Edward Findleton: Oh no, what’s he planning?
Pastor James: You see friends, when I need a pick me up, I like to sit down…and read my favorite book, The Bible. But recently, I’ve noticed in HAW, people don’t care about the Good Book anymore. All anyone is talking about…is another book.
THE Casey Gains: He can’t be serious…
Pastor James: I’m going to put a stop to those talks! If he’s man enough to face to me, then I will be the first person to defeat Peter “Carnage” Horn!
The crowd started to cheer, and after a few moments, Horn’s music hit. He walked to the top of the ramp with Alfred Karneus.
Alfred Karneus: Pastor James….Peter accepts your challenge. In fact, The Book of Carnage feels like it needs a new name written in it tonight.
The crowd cheered as Horn started to approach the ring.
Pastor James: I have bad news for both of you. My name won’t be written in it tonight…because our match will take place at Downtown Disaster!
The crowd started to boo at that, and Horn stopped midramp and chuckled to himself, shaking his head and heading back up the ramp to Karneus.
Pastor James: I can’t wait to end your false book, Horn. So go ahead and run away up the ramp like the coward you are!
Horn stopped again in midramp, slowly turning back to Pastor James. This time he ran towards the ring with determination and as he slid in, James ran outside of the ring on the opposite side of the ring and into the crowd, fleeing.
THE Casey Gains: Listen, say what you want about the intelligence of Pastor James, but at the end of the day, he is one of the best wrestlers in HAW history. James is a tag champion, a two time national champion, and a two time world champion. Horn will not have an easy time.
Edward Findleton: I actually agree with you Casey! This should be a huge match for Downtown Disaster!
Backstage, The Biofuel Engineers and Exotic Delights were in their locker room partying, surrounded by a bunch of random people also engaging in the party.
Sydney Mason: We fooled them all last week! Haha!
Lela LaCruse: People actually thought you guys were pretending to be tag team champions!
Dalton Elkins: You two acted perfectly! That’s what sold it!
The two teams burst out laughing at their plan, then heard additional laughter behind them. As they turned, Daisy Fields and Maple Blossom were lounging on a couch, laughing.
Daisy Fields: I mean I thought you all hated each other too! It was great, haha!
Maple Blossom: Yeah I really like you guys. Thanks for inviting us.
Phueng Ahunai: We didn’t invite you! You’re not supposed to be here!
Maple and Daisy just started at Phueng.
Phueng Ahunai: …What?!
Daisy Fields:Your titles are so shiny. It’s like, I’m looking at a distant star, moving through space and seeing landing on Planet Title.
Maple Blossom: Whoaaa…I can see that too.
Sydney Mason: Ok, that’s enough, get out!
Daisy Fields: Ok, fine, we’ll go…lame-os.
Summer Fun reluctantly left the party, and The Exotic Delights and Biofuel Engineers continued to celebrate.
Edward Findleton: Well folks its our main event match for the night, the number one contenders for the tag team titles!
THE Casey Gains: And take a look up in the pressbox! The Navigators will be watching this match with great interest!
The camera cut to the Navigators sitting down, a notepad and pen ready, eagerly awaiting to see who they’ll face. Club Corruption entered first, while The O’Toole Brothers came out second.
The O’Toole Brothers looked to be in control for most of the match, but Sean O’Toole missed a key Superkick when he tried to put the match away. Night Prince and Ninja tried to capitalize on the momentum, but when Sean tagged in Fergus, Fergus hit a Super Kick on Ninja and picked up the victory in 11:25.
In the pressbox, the Navigators finished writing their notes at the completion of the match, while the O’Toole Brothers stood on the ropes and pointed up at them. The Navigators didn’t seem impressed or worried about the O’Tooles, and simply left. The O’Tooles seemed annoyed at the Navigators but eventually departed the ring as well, happy for their opportunity.
Edward Findleton: Looks like we got ourselves another match set for Downtown Disaster, The O’Tooles vs The Navigators!
THE Casey Gains: The O’Tooles had a rough first month, but maybe this is their chance to bounce back!
Mitchell Row’s music hit, and he walked out on stage, holding the HAW World Championship high in the air as pyro went off around him. He smiled and motioned to the back, and Scarred Badger wheeled Kitty Kayleen out on her wheelchair again.
Row walked to the ring, then lifted Kitty out of her chair and carried her inside, holding her in his arms the entire time. Scarred Badger grabbed a microphone, and held it up to Mitchell’s Row mouth so he could be heard.
Mitchell Row: Thank you Badger. And thank you Kitty. You’re my dream woman, every week, you show me why I fell in love with you in the first place.
Mitchell Row gave a quick kiss to Kitty as he held her.
Mitchell Row: Now as much as I wish the two of us could retire by the poolside and just enjoy life…I have a title to defend. So let me meet whichever loser Freezerman chose next to lose to me.
As Row waited, Oden Schreiner’s music hit. He walked out, the MuscleGang behind him, and St. Pierre looking mad. The four got into the ring.
Mitchell Row: Now look, I just defeated one of you Muscle Idiots, I’m not doing this again.
Oden forcefully grabbed Scarred Badger’s arm to hold the mic to his mouth.
Oden: You will fight me! You will lose! I will make sure you don’t cheat, I will make sure no one gets involved, I will make sure I defeat you! And if I don’t, then I will retire! So wrestle me!
Oden glared at Mitchell, who took a few steps back and seemed to hold Kitty out as a bodyshield to keep distance from Oden. Mitchell could be heard yelling for Badger to bring the mic back to him, which Badger did.
Mitchell Row: Easy there buddy, easy…So you’re saying…title vs career? Is that it?
Oden could be heard yelling “Yes!” as the distant microphone picked up his voice.
Mitchell Row: Ok. I like the sound of it. I get to end your career!
The crowd started to boo, and Mitchell Row laughed.
Mitchell Row: Oh come on! He hasn’t been scary in 10 years!
Oden quickly approached Mitchell, who held Kitty out farther in front of him to prevent Oden from getting close.
Mitchell: If you hit me I’ll drop her and re-injure her ankle! It’s not fully healed.
Oden glared at Mitchell for a bit, staring him down. Without warning, Oden grabbed Scarred Badger by the throat and hit The Chokeslam. Oden put a foot on Badger’s chest and stared down Row, while Liam did a mock three count, and Crash raised Oden’s hand. Mitchell seemed disturbed, and he and Kitty carefully exited the ring, and retreated up the ramp.
Edward Findleton: What a stipulation! Title vs Career, and that’s on the line at Downtown Disaster! We’re out of time for tonight folks, but we’ll see you next week. Goodnight!
