Emma grins wickedly and raises the chair high above her head, drawing a roar of approval from the crowd. She walks to ringside very deliberately and strides up the steps, ducking into the ring. The referee takes the chair from Emma, who shrugs and waits in a corner.}
{"Bitch" by Dope starts to play. Three photographers flank the curtain, taking a plethora of pictures as Ayla St. James emerges. She stops, posing, letting them just snap away.

She grabs the top rope and vaults herself into the ring, leaning against the ring ropes like she hasn't a care in the world, waiting for the match to start.}
{"Take it to the Limit" by Hinder begins to play as the fans cheer and Zelda Knite runs out onto the ramp. The music picks up and she sprints straight for the ring and slides in, in one motion.

MAIN EVENT
Fergus Callaghan vs. Will Washington
Singles Match
‘Flanagan's Ball’ by Dropkick Murphy's starts to play of the PA as Fergus Callaghan and Montgomery Scott come out onto the entrance ramp. Fergus walks down with helmet on that has a couple of cans of Guinness on it. He drinks the beer as he makes his way down to the ring. His introduction can be heard throughout the arena: “From Boston, Massachusetts…weighing in tonight at two hundred and twenty-five pounds…..‘The Dublin Destroyer’……Fergus Callaghan!” He gets into the ring and burps and takes off the helmet and gets ready for the match.
Willy Carter: “The Irishman is here and……he’s drunk.”
Preston Marshall: “When isn’t he? It actually seems like he wrestles better when he’s hammered.”
Willy Carter: “I can’t believe he’d come into a match against such a dangerous man, drunk off his gord.”
Preston Marshall: “Well let’s see what the ‘Dublin Destroyer’ has in store for us here in the main event.”
The lights in the arena go out as the beginning riffs of “The Soldier’s Song” start, and red, white, and blue lights flash quickly in succession. A spotlight travels throughout the darkness and highlights the crowd before turning off. An explosion is seen and smoke fills the entranceway and the singing starts. The spotlight comes back on Will Washington as he makes his way through the smoke wearing an Army Strong T-Shirt, and dog tags while carrying a tattered American flag. He stops and looks around while he is introduced. “From Cambridge, Massachusetts…..Weighing in at two hundred and thirty-two pounds….. ‘The Patriotic Punisher‘……Will Washington!” Will raises his American flag, before draping it over his shoulders and walking down the ramp. He ascends the ringside steps and lays the flag across the top turnbuckle, before entering between the ropes. He goes to the corner and stands on the second turnbuckle. He takes off his shirt and throws it into the crowd, before picking up the flag and raising it once again. He jumps down and walks over, handing his dog tags and flag to the official before going to another corner and throwing punches, waiting for the match to begin.
Preston Marshall: “Washington seemed to be overlooking Fergus all week. He never even seemed to think about the possibility of losing.”
Willy Carter: “That’s the mark of a winner. You have to go in to every match believing you’re going to win.”
Preston Marshall: “He said he’s looking to make a statement here tonight.”
Willy Carter: “If he wants to get a title shot, an impressive outing here could go a long way.”
The referee checks to see if both competitors are ready, and motions for the bell. Washington almost instantaneously charges and connects with double leaping knees, sending Fergus back in to the corner. Will lights into him with some sickening chops. Fergus tries to cover up, but as he does, he catches a roundhouse to the side of the head, putting him out on his feet in the turnbuckles. Will backs up and Stinger Splashes him. Once….twice Fergus is crushed in the corner. Washington lifts the opponent up on the top turnbuckle, hooks the head and brings him down hard with a Corner Codebreaker. Callaghan holds his ribs as he is drug to the center of the ring. Washington takes hold of the arms and arches Fergus before Curb Stomping his skull into the mat. Washington rolls Fergus over and heads to the top rope. He taunts to the crowd a little bit and the pop loudly. He flies through the air with a Diving Somersault Leg Drop across the Irishman’s throat. He kicks Fergus in the ribs to make sure he stays down before heading out of the ring and over to the announce desk.
Preston Marshall: “Washington has been dominating this match since from the get-go.”
Willy Carter: “Now it looks like he’s…he’s coming over here.”
Will takes the timekeeper’s chair and sits down next to Preston and asks for a headset. Preston takes his off and hands it to Washington.
Will Washington: “This is the guy management gives me? This is a joke.”
Willy Carter: “You’re really taking it to him in there Will. What’s your game plan for the rest of this match?”
Will Washington: “Uh….Pain. Destruction. Annihilation. All the above.”
Willy Carter: “The tide could turn at any point….like right now!”
Fergus stumbles over and fires a punch off at Washington, but he blocks it and slams Fergus’ head into the announce table.
Will Washington: “You should have stayed down!”
Will throws down the headset and knocks everything off of the table. He lays a boot into Fergus before rolling him up on the table. Will steps up and positions Fergus….Tigerbomb through the announce Table! Will leaps over the railing and into the crowd. They embrace him as he raises his arms triumphantly. As Fergus lays in the rubble of the former table, Washington hops back over the rail and lifts him up. He rams Fergus’ face into the ring post and tosses him back into the ring. Will climbs on to the apron and springboards off the center of the top rope with a Springboard Diving Headbutt. Washington is up, and after clutching his head for a moment, Will reaches his feet and drags Callaghan up too. He hooks the neck from behind and lifts him up in a Reverse Suplex Brainbuster. He does a cutthroat taunt before once again picking up Fergus. He stands him up in front of a corner before circling the ring and spearing him into the corner. Will sets the opposition up on the top turnbuckle before bouncing off the ropes and killing him with a Yakuza Kick. Fergus slumps over on the top, and Will positions him in the Tree of Woe before climbing up and underhooking the arms. Washington hurls himself violently off the top rope and while holding on to Fergus nails the world’s most dangerous finisher. KILL ‘EM ALL! He rolls Callaghan over and covers him with a forearm across the face. 1.…2.…3!
Amber Ashe: “Here is your winner…WILL WASHINGTON!”
The referee raises Will’s hand before he rolls out of the ring and requests the microphone from Ashe. Washington climbs back in the ring with the microphone. His music stops so he can be heard.
Will Washington: “Is this what you wanted? How many necks have to be broken, careers ended before you people in the back realize what the rest of the world realizes? I don’t want to have to say it again….. Give me a title match! I’ll find a tag team partner if I have to. Just give me what I have earned. Or else this beating that Fergus got tonight, it’s going to happen to every other wrestler in that locker room. And I know you don’t want that to happen.”
The crowd explodes for Will as his music hits once again.
Willy Carter: “Will Washington is demanding a shot at one of our champions. Do you think he’ll get it any time soon?”
Preston Marshall: “I guess we’ll find out sooner rather than later.”
Willy Carter: “Well that’s all from us from what’s left of ringside. We’ll see you again next week here on Suspense!”
Preston Marshall: “Goodnight everybody.”
Will Washington stands in the center of the ring with his arms raised high in the air as the show comes to a close.
