Dark Matches: The Insomniac Kenneth Cobb defeated Tyler Ford. Kitty Kayleen defeated Monica Stone.
HAW kicked off with its theme song.
Edward Findleton: Welcome to HAW! We’re in Phoenix, Arizona, and a great show is ahead of you, as our main event will be Witchmere vs Hannah Rivers!
Phoenix’s music began to play, and he made his way down to the ring.
THE Casey Gains: Do you think Phoenix will pull a Danny Miller and claim this as his hometown?
Edward Findleton: Well he doesn’t look like he’s in a joking mood tonight.
Phoenix: Mitchell Row, next week, I take the title from you. But I want you to come out here right now, face to face. So get out here!
After a few brief moments, Mitchell came out, accompanied by Kitty Kayleen and Scarred Badger, and the trio walked down to the ring.
Mitchell Row: What is it Phoenix? What do you need to tell me? If it’s anything other than “I’m so good, I’m going to win” I’ll be happily surprised. What wisdom do you wish to share?
Phoenix: I don’t have any words Mitchell. I just wanted to stand right next to you. I wanted you to look me in the eye. Take this moment in, remember me. Maybe I was a joke last year. But next week, you’ll think back to this moment, and remember me. You’ll remember the anger you feel when you think about me, every single day. I want you to feel what I feel.
Mitchell Row: Cute, very cute. You did a good job practicing that in the mirror. Come on everyone, let’s head home.
Mitchell Row was about to leave, when the music of Douglas Brunswick hit. He marched down to the ring, ready to join in on the action.
Douglas Brunswick: Sorry for interrupting, but Mitchell, I don’t want you leaving just yet. I don’t know which one of you is going to come out on top, but I want both of you hear this. I’m going to beat Franco Mancini, I’m going to be the number one contender, and I’m going to win the title next month at End of the Trail! I wish both of you luck, because you’re going to need it in the future.
At that point, Franco Mancini’s music began to play, and he made his way out as well.
Franco Mancini: I see there’s some funny guys in here. Brunswick, you’re probably the funniest. You think you’re beating me? Fat chance. You’ll just be going to the back of the line when I’m done with you. Phoenix? Mitchell? Whomever comes out champ, I don’t really care. You’ll all be together, last in line, looking to claw up and reclaim your glory. And as long as the Godfather of Professional Wrestling is here, you won’t be getting that opportunity anytime soon.
Freezerman’s music began to play again, and he walked to the top of the stage.
Freezerman: I apologize. I don’t like getting involved this much but…I just see a lot of tension in this ring and I don’t want it getting out of hand one week before a large show. So I’m going to make a tag team match tonight. Later on, we will see Phoenix team up with…Mitchell Row! And they’ll take on Franco Mancini and Douglas Brunswick!
All four men looked upset at this announcement, as Freezerman exited to the back.
Edward Findleton: Well that’s going to be a high caliber tag match later on!
THE Casey Gains: And I guarantee you, lots of drama between partners.
Meanwhile backstage, Pastor James was sitting on a bench, while Travis Samuels sat beside him talking. James was staring straight ahead, a scowl present in his face.
Travis Samuels: So then I went to Atlanta, and woooo boy let me tell you, I had some crazy fans there, people wanting to come on the stage and everything.
Pastor James: Mmhm.
Travis Samuels: But I think the craziest fan I ever had, this girl just started going on and on about her daddy abandonment issues, wouldn’t stop talking, just droning and talking and she couldn’t take the hint, ya know? She was just talking and I’m just listening there, nodding my head along, and I-
Pastor James: I can’t stand you. I can’t. I want you in the ring tonight. I’m already dealing with an idiot calling himself Viking, I can’t stand to listen to…..who are you again, anyway? It doesn’t matter, I just can’t.
Pastor James stood up and walked away, leaving Travis Samuels behind.
At ringside, Kherti Bhakta’s music began and she made her entrance.
Edward Findleton: We’ve got an interesting match coming up next! Kherti Bhakta vs Athena, in what is being called a “warm-up” match for Athena!
Athena followed, and shook hands with Kherti as they got to the ring. The match seemed to have Kherti trying to imitate Sekino’s aerial style, and keeping Athena on her toes. Eventually, Athena hit the Queen Suplex and pinned Kherti in 5:48.
After the match, Sekino came running down to the ring, and attacked Athena from behind. Sekino got a few quick shots in, but Kherti Bhakta recovered and grappled with Sekino. Athena and Kherti managed to get the upper hand and send the Stunt Pilot flying out of the ring, who simply smiled and pointed at Athena.
Edward Findleton: There will be no interference, attacks, or anything like that next week! Athena has to hope she’s properly prepared, as she’s got her cage match with Sekino!
Backstage, Briggs was in the locker room when there was a knock on the door. He answered it, and a member of the production staff was there.
Production: Mayor Briggs, Freezerman said you’ve got a match next. You need to be out there.
Mayor Briggs: I had the night off!
Production: Just delivering a message.
Briggs sighed then started to head out of the locker room.
Elsewhere, Gregory Greystone was in between The Navigators and The Strange Crew.
Gregory Greystone: Hello ladies and gentlemen! I’m here with Peta Arrow, AIden North, Drizzles the Clown, and Hawaii! Aiden or Pete, how does it feel to lose to Smiling Sally and Jessie Parran last week?
Pete Arrow: We didn’t lose. We didn’t try. A match was made for the Navigators vs The Strange Crew. The incorrect Strange Crew came out, so we weren’t going to wrestle a match we weren’t scheduled for.
Aiden North: These two, literal, clowns make tag team wrestling a big enough joke. So we’re ready to actually wrestle them. Just give us a time and place.
Hawaii: Really? You’re letting us choose that? Well, I’m glad! Drizzles and I have done some intense research on the two of you. We found out you two are called…The Navigators. So we thought, why would you call yourselves that? Because you navigate. You travel. You’re sightseers! Which means we know the perfect match to challenge you for the HAW Tag Team Titles.
Aiden North: And what’s that?
Hawaii: Next week, we’re going to have HAW’s first ever…Planes..trains…and automobiles match! See you then!
Drizzles and Hawaii left, leaving the Navigators confused.
Gregory Greystone: Wow! What a first for HAW! Edward, Casey, back to you!
THE Casey Gains: Legal team, stand by, you’re probably going to be needed next week.
At that point, Mayor Briggs music played, and he started to make his way to the ring.
Edward Findleton: Casey you might be worried about that tag match but…Briggs wasn’t slotted on the card tonight, right?
THE Casey Gains: Eh, it’s wrestling, random matches happen all the time!
Mayor Briggs was halfway down the ramp, when King Donovan came running down grabbed Briggs shoulders to spin him around. Donovan let loose a flurry of punches onto Briggs, before picking Briggs up and tossing him into the crowd.
King Donovan: You’re not the smartest guy around here, and you definitely ain’t the toughest!
Donovan laughed and walked up the ramp, as Briggs recovered in the audience before making his way to the back.
Edward Findleton: Ohh, he was tricked! I get it!
THE Casey Gains: Well, speaking of impromptu matches, I’m being told we’ve got a legit impromptu match coming up now!
Travis Samuels music began to play, and he made his way down to the ring, while his opponent Pastor James followed.
Pastor James dominated the match, being overly aggressive with Samuels. James looked like he was about to hit the Cobra Clutch Slam, when Viking started running down the ramp, and jumping on the apron. James let go of Travis and went to lunge at Viking, but Viking jumped down, and James missed and went over the top rope with his momentum.
James yelled at Viking, and went back into the ring, only to be met with a solid elbow from Travis Samuels. James was stunned and Samuels went for the roll up, but James kicked out at the very last moment. As James recovered, anger came over him, and renewed energy caused him to start to attack Travis Samuels. He quickly got him in position for the Cobra Clutch Slam, hit it, and pinned Travis Samuels in 7:06.
As Pastor James was announced the winner, he glared at Viking the entire time.
Edward Findleton: Some fiery brimstone coming from the eyes of the pastor today! But will he be a pastor next week? Or will Viking no longer be a Viking? We’ll find out next week at Summit of Success!
Summer Fun, Daisy Fields and Maple Blossom, were walking backstage when Daisy suddenly put a hand in front of Maple to stop her.
Daisy Fields: Hold up. Act natural.
Maple Blossom: What?
Daisy Fields: We’re being followed. Look behind us. Solo Girls.
Maple tried to slyly look behind her, and in the distance was a blonde haired figure and dark haired figured.
Maple Blossom: Let’s get them before they get us.
Daisy Fields: Exactly what I was thinking. On the count of three. One…two…three!
Daisy and Maple rushed at the figures. Maple delivered a brainbuster to the blonde, while Daisy jumped on the dark haired figure and locked in a sleeper hold, until they passed out on the ground.
At that point, Crystal Cyclone and Rachel walked around a corner, stopping in their tracks in shock.
Crystal Cyclone: ….Did you guys just attack a mannequin?
Rachel: And…Mimic?
Summer Fun looked down, and a mannequin was broken on the ground, it’s blonde wig next to it. By Daisy’s feet was Mimic, his wig also near him as he laid on the ground unconscious.
Daisy Fields: Umm…
Maple Blossom: Now that I’m a bit closer…yeah, that’s Mimic and a mannequin.
Daisy Fields: Which was our plan! So let that be a warning to what happens when YOU…underestimate US!
Crystal Cyclone: Oooo..k….Cuckoo…
Crystal and Rachel walked off, confused. As they left, Daisy turned to Maple.
Daisy Fields: We really need to check if he’s still breathing. Mimic! Wake up!
The scene faded in to an old arcade, as the Samurais of Power were pacing around.
Trickshot: Think he’ll come?
Ozzie Reagan: He has to. I’m not one to call in favors like this, but with so much on the line, I believe in him.
The doors to the arcade opened up, and stepping inside was Jet Black.
Sensei Onaga: Jet Black! Thank you for showing up!
Jet Black: This isn’t a group I ever thought I’d meet with.
Ozzie Reagan: We never thought this would happen either…atleast, not until Club Corruption stole the Bra of Miss Lifeguard.
Jet Black: And why are you involving me in this?
Sensei Onaga: Club Corruption is an evil group. Some of the darkest, moodiest people the world has ever seen. And if there’s one person who knows evil, dark, and moody, it’s Jet Black. We need you. We need you to give us all the information you can on Night Prince and Ninja.
Jet Black: Why should I? I’ve suffered long enough, maybe it would be good if the world suffered too.
Trickshot: Maybe. But what about your loved ones?
Jet Black: I don’t have any.
Trickshot: Oh. Then, what about the ability to wrestle?
Jet Black: I don’t care about that.
Ozzie Reagan: Jet, if Club Corruption is successful, then you won’t be the most gothic, pain inflicted suffering soul in the world. You will be equivalent to everyone else. You won’t be unique, you’ll be average…normal. Is that a world you want to live in?
Jet Black: ….Fine. But I’m telling you upfront, I’m not going to help you stop them….but I can take you to their lair.
The Samurais of Power looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Sensei Onaga: Then guide us. We’re ready when you are.
Jet Black gave a thumbs up and exited the arcade, as the Samurais of Power followed.
Back at ringside, Edward was looking over his notes.
Edward Findleton: Folks it looks like we have this tag match coming up!
THE Casey Gains: Edward focus on the present! We just got back to back segments with a Mimic appearance AND an indirect reference. I think that’s a historical first in HAW.
The wrestlers for the tag match started to make their entrances, as Douglas Brunswick came out first, followed by his partner Franco Mancini. Phoenix followed, along with Mitchell Row, accompanied by Scarred Badger and Kitty Kayleen.
The match had a lot of drama, as the partners on both teams seemed to argue with each other at multiple times. With Franco the legal man, Row tagged in an exhausted Phoenix. Phoenix started to complain to Row, but he heard enough. He quickly hit Phoenix with a Spear, knocking him down. Brunswick was frustrated and jumped in the ring and started attacking Row, as they went over the ropes and continued brawling outside. Franco shrugged, and quickly hooked the leg on Phoenix, pinning him for the three count.
Edward Findleton: And Team Number One Contenders defeat Team World Title Match!
THE Casey Gains: I think all this accomplished was raising the tension of all the competitors involved.
Edward Findleton: The matches between these men next week are going to be must see TV! While we clear out the ring for our main event, let’s check in with our good friend, Niko Green.
Niko Green was backstage reading a book, when a woman came up to him.
Woman: Heeyyy! Wow! You look so strong!
Niko took a deep breath and put his book down.
Niko Green: I will say this once. Leave right now, and tell RJ to stop bothering me, or else he’s going to end up seriously hurt. Ok?
The woman scoffed and walked away, and Niko went back to his book. A few moments later, the Biofuel Engineers flanked him, and grabbed his book.
Dalton Elkins: Hey, were you just hitting on my girl?
Niko Green: I wasn’t. But if I knew this would cause a problem, I probably would have, you planet destroying fools. You two deserve no happiness for the damage you inflict upon the earth.
Sydney Mason: Hey, you need to stop worrying about this so called “damage” we inflict upon on the earth, and more about the damage we inflict upon you!
The Biofuel Engineers jumped Niko and started to beat him down. After a sufficient rough up, they began to walk away, but Niko got to his hands and knees.
Niko Green: That’s the best you got? How about you cowards fight me in the ring? In a handicap match next week!
Dalton and Sydney came back and stood over Niko.
Sydney Mason: Handicap match? Sounds like a way to get us to lower our guard until your friend comes out…
Niko Green: He is not my friend!
Dalton and Sydney considered the offer then nodded to each other. Dalton kicked his boot right to the face of Niko, knocking him out cold.
Dalton Elkins: We accept. See you next week, loser.
Edward Findleron: Looks like we have another match for Summit of Success!
THE Casey Gains: I’m not sure a handicap match is smart for Niko Green, but the kid has always had a stubborn streak!
Witchmere’s music started, signaling the main event as she came to the ring with Jonah Webb. Hannah Rivers came out next, her Eta Nu Iota allies Natasha York and Isabella Dawson accompanying her, both seemingly nursing injuries still.
Witchmere began the match with vicious attacks on Hannah Rivers, who did her best to weather the storm. Seeing their leader in trouble, Isabella and Natasha stood up on the ring apron, distracting Witchmere. She managed to grab Isabella Dawson and deliver a bulldog but as she went after Natasha York, Hannah recovered. Hannah grabbed Witchmere and quickly delivered a Lawn Dart to the turnbuckle. She covered Witchmere and picked up the victory.
Hannah quickly rolled out of the ring to celebrate with her sorority sisters, as Witchmere slowly recovered. With a disappointed look on his face, Jonah Webb strolled into the ring. Witchmere reached her hand out for Webb to help her up. Jonah contemplated a moment, before reaching for her hand and getting her to her feet.
As Witchmere tried to turn away, Webb held his grasp on her hand. Witchmere looked confused, and Webb quickly pulled her towards him and delivered an Arm Trap Neckbreaker to Witchmere.
With Witchmere out cold, Jonah Webb stood up and stared at her before shaking his head in disappointment. As he walked away, the cameras picked up Jonah muttering to himself.
Jonah Webb: She wasn’t the one, she wasn’t the one…
The show ended with medical crews tending to Witchmere, unconscious in the ring.
