Riot in France
Live from Accor Arenas in Paris, France
Sunday, April 16th, 2023

Backstage: The Green Haired Doll was standing by and she was howling loudly and you could see the excitement on her face. She was rockin' her green and black #THECLUB jacket with a little alien on the back and bright neon green gear with black converse.

NOA SKYE:
Let me introduce myself, I'm NOA SKYE. Now some of you may know me, some may not. I'm a part of this cool CLUB known as the MIDNIGHT DEMON CLUB! I'm bringing the club here, coming here to show you just what this little demon can do alone.

Noa smiled. She had a lot to prove, she needed to show the world and everyone that she just wasn't a tag team competitor.

NOA SKYE:
You know what #THECLUB can do? Let me show you what I can do. Tonight, I face Gio Vaccaro and they are in for a ride. I'm about to shock the world, I'm about to make an impact. Lastly, I'm about to slay yet another demon. Tune in, check out what I'm all about. Trust me you won't want to miss it!

Noa howled once more before the scene faded.

Singles Match

Noa Skye VS Gio Vaccaro

The Green Haired Doll may be making his debut tonight in Paris in front of the MWE fans, but for those who follow our partner company House Of Wrestling on the Agora Network, she was no stranger. Noa, in fact, is currently one half of the Midnight Demon Club, the current HoW World Tag Team champions. And while she’s walking alone into this new chapter of her career, Noa still brought the HoW gold with her to the ring. Her opponent, Gio Vaccaro, kind of lost his way after an impressive start over a month ago, but his size alone represented a threat to any competitor. He immediately tried to impose his strength, sending Noa against the ropes and knocking her down with a shoulder tackle. Skye literally bounced back to her feet and hit him with a dropkick that sent the young man through the ropes and onto the floor outside. And what better way to warm up the crowd and get on their good side than fly on the outside and take Gio down with a suicide dive?
Noa quickly brought the fight back inside the ring where she continued using her speed to stay ahead of the opponent. The first near fall of her match came with a satellite DDT with which she spiked Vaccaro on top of his skull. She was quick to hook the leg to capitalize on the move but the Brooklyn native kicked out in two. Skye didn’t stop there, throwing a flurry of kicks at the opponent and forcing him back against the ropes. She charged toward him and got sent up and over the top rope by Gio. The Hex Girl landed on her feet on the apron and quickly blasted the man with a high kick to the head. Her subsequent springboard crossbody attempt got caught in mid air by Vaccaro who then dropped the Green Haired Doll onto his knee with a backbreaker.
Gio combined strength and size with a good technique which allowed him to keep the faster opponent grounded as he worked on her lower back with stretches and submissions. Noa managed to reach the ropes to escape a camel clutch, but she was soon dropped to a seated position by a snapmare and hit with a brutal kick to the spine. Vaccaro put her in a chinlock and pressed his knee on her spine, adding extra pressure to the painful hold. Noa had made inroads into the Parisian fans already, and their support was the key that helped her push through the pain and gain the vertical stance. A couple of elbows to the stomach gave her the separation she needed to sprint toward the ropes but Vaccaro grabbed a hold of her long green hair and yanked her down to the mat, where he started stomping the crap out of her.
With moves like a two-handed chokeslam and his patented gutwrench powerbomb Gio Vaccaro put himself in a great position, controlling the pace of the match and coming close to give Noa a bitter debut on several occasions. He even attempted to end things with his Nightmares (Razor’s Edge) but Noa was able to slip away before getting driven down on the canvas. She started fighting back, landing a few strikes that gave the illusion that she could turn things around, but a big boot to the face from Gio put her back down.
There was no quitting in the Green Haired Doll. Noa weathered the storm Vaccaro unleashed upon her and waited for the right opportunity to strike, catching the man off guard with a cutter. Finally getting some space to use her speed and agility, Skye began building some momentum and finally knocked Vaccaro down with a step-up enziguri. He tried to break her momentum by rolling on the apron but she followed him there too and dropped him on the hardest part of the ring with a sliced bread. Noa pushed the opponent back in the ring and landed on top of him with a slingshot legdrop, obtaining another near fall. The fight continued, and the momentum was now firmly on the Hex Girl’s side. Her question mark kick left Gio lying close to the ropes and gave her the opportunity to take this to the sky and introduce her new fans to the Lost Paradise, her diving senton that gave her so many wins in her career. Including tonight.

WINNER: Noa Skye
BY: Pinfall (Lost Paradise), 8:12

The camera comes back to the ring when ‘Omnishred’ hits and the crowd erupts, there's a few moments where there is smoke coming from the entrance ramp. As the intro finishes and the drums kick in, we see the reigning Riot champion, the Toughest out in wrestling, Andrew Raynes, make his way through the smoke with the Riot Championship in his hand. He walks out and looks around a little bit before he throws his hands up in the air, lifting the belt and pyro setting off all around the entrance ramp. He cocks a smirk, not really buying into the fans and he slowly makes his way down to the ring. He slides the belt in first and then he slides in under the ropes. He grabs the belt before he pops back up and heads to the corner where he's given a mic. He walks back towards the center of the ring, not really playing up to the crowd because it no longer concerns him. He looks around, while placing the Riot Championship over his shoulder, and gives another little smirk.

Andrew Raynes:
It gives me sheer joy knowing that the overconfidence you had going into our match blew up right in your face, or in your shoulder. How’s that shoulder feeling by the way?

Il n'était pas prêt pour moi!

You should have known better, Olly, you should have known better than to bite off more than you could chew but you allowed your ego and your sense of untouchability to get in the way of you winning this Riot championship. Now I can only imagine that every shooting pain in your shoulder is a stark reminder of why you should never take me lightly ever again. It was a message delivered specifically to your daddy that eventually I am going to be coming for him and that precious World Title of his. He sent his best after me and you were arrogant enough to try taking on a second match before you tried stepping to me and look where that got you? The fact that since the show came out and you haven't been able to say a word about it has been absolutely beautiful music to my ears.

Va te faire enculer mon petit connard!

Andrew smirks as he pats his title on his shoulder as he walks around the ring. The crowd gets a kick out of the line!

Andrew Raynes:
Not only that though, you couldn’t even bother to win either of the matches you signed up for. What was the point of trying to take on a second match if you couldn't even be bothered to win at least one of them? I know you were that sure of yourself that you could beat me at less than one hundred percent but to even fail to win your tag match too must have made daddy really happy with you to see how much of a failure you were at Anarchy in the UK? The man who hand picked you to take me down and you couldn’t get the job done. I told you it was one thing to assault me from behind in the locker room and it was another to stand face to face against me and see what happens.

I told you that I was going to break you down and find out what you were really made of and you showed me that you truly weren’t prepared or capable of taking this title away from me. Your inability to even slip on a pair of brass knuckles to dust me was clearly evident that you were never ready for what was coming, otherwise you would have avoided helping that dumb ass bitch out and you would have stayed locked on the mission you were given. Instead, you acted a fool and I made sure you paid for it. It's what I have been warning everyone about from the very beginning. You need to be prepared to beat me otherwise anything less and I will expose that flaw and make you pay for it.

Now it’s time to move on.

Andrew looks around as the crowd reacts. He wasn't too concerned about it as he was ready to move on to what comes next.

Andrew Raynes:
What I proved at Anarchy in the UK is that I am someone who is tough to beat, someone that is going to eventually find his way to the top of the mountain because I am the toughest out in wrestling today. I am not concerned with who challenges Julian next. They can all have their turns, Chris, Melissa, anyone else for that matter. I will continue to make this belt look damn good while I defend it until it is no longer required. I have no issues biding my time until I go down that road towards the MWE World Championship. Until then though, I will continue to defend this belt and show people just why I am the toughest out. It does not matter to me who comes up the ladder to take a shot at this, I will be right here waiting for anyone who wants to take a chance. Like any other boss fight, you need to come one hundred percent prepared to do whatever it takes, otherwise you will end up caught, just like Olly was and I will continue to stand tall as the Riot Champion.

Andrew tosses down the mic and holds the Riot Championship high in the air as ‘Omishred’ hits the speakers and the crowd reacts. He looks around and makes his way out of the ring and back up the ramp.

Singles Match

Haylie LaFleur VS Ash Fi

The Formulaic Haylie LaFleur walked to the ring with the envelope she won in the Anarchy In The UK match in her hand. Does it mean that we will find out which title she gets to challenge for? Perhaps after the match, because right now Aislinn wasn’t giving her any chance to breathe, attacking her right at the sound of the bell with a stiff punch to the neck. After finally beating her father at the recent PPV, the former Chaos Theory champion was determined to rebuild that momentum she seemed to have found before Sir Figgles decided to mess with her career. She was pretty aggressive from the get going, forcing LaFleur back in the corner and hitting her with a running forearm to the jaw. Resting her hand on Haylie’s nape, Ash then pushed the blonde face first to the mat and hoisted herself on the top rope from where she jumped on the opponent’s back with a double foot stomp.
While not really a brawler herself, Haylie could throw some mean rights, as Ash found out But despite holding her own, this was Aislinn’s territory and the Irish fighter eventually came out on top of this exchange and lunged in to grab LaFleur’s leg and threw her backward with her Fairy Circle (single legged seatbelt toss). With one fluid movement Ash shifted on top of Haylie for a cover but the blonde kicked out in two.
After struggling in the first few minutes, Haylie seemed to have found a way to turn things around. And from that moment on, the Formulaic showed some of her spectacular aerial attacks, and the crowd was really into that. Hard to stay still and not jump on your seat when you see moves like the moonsault sliced bread or the avalanche x-factor. Unfortunately, none of those visually pleasing moves were effective enough to give her a count of three.
The former Chaos Theory champion managed to interrupt the opponent’s momentum with a headbutt that stunned Haylie. Ash wrapped her arms around the Formulaic’s torso and prepared herself to lift her with a belly to belly suplex, sending the Boston native into the turnbuckle. Haylie used the ropes to stand to her feet and received a running knee attack to the back. Aislinn then dropped her down with a neckbreaker but it wasn’t enough to keep LaFleur down.
The end came suddenly and unexpectedly. Right when Ash seemed to be firmly on the lead, the former HRW Lucky 7 champion ducked a roundhouse kick and attempted a quick cover with an O’Connor Roll but Aislinn wasn’t caught off guard. She might have kicked out of that, but Finn wasn’t able to avoid the following shining wizard, nor the imploding senton that came after. That was it, the move Haylie called LaFleurian, a beautiful way to end the match in style and pick up another big win.

WINNER: Haylie LaFleur
BY: Pinfall (LaFleurian), 9:03

After the conclusion of her tense match we can see the cheerful blonde no that is Haylie LaFluer quickly strut over to request a microphone, her breathing is heavy before she can even speak a smile on her face as she looks out to the crowd.

Haylie LaFluer:
Bonjour!

She said to the crowd before getting a round of cheers from the audience and she playfully cusped her hand under her chin.

Haylie LaFluer:
Merci! Thank you so much for the love you’ve shown myself and our company here tonight. I wasn’t sure when or where I wanted to actually say this and then I thought, why not in Paris? Isn’t that something the French always say?

She chuckled before shaking her head.

Haylie LaFluer:
Okay, maybe they don’t, but maybe you guys should start saying it because it’s true. A city that hosts such monumental sights such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre should allow almost anything here, right?

She offered with an affirmative nod before getting a small pop from the crowd. She began to pace the ring now finally have wound down some from the match and finally able to speak with more cohesion.

Haylie LaFluer:
I’m getting a little off track here though that is par for the course with someone like me, but! I won a little prize if you remember from the night of anarchy and the chaotic match that took place in the UK. Some had their prizes revealed and others simply kept theirs close to their chest and while I personally decided not to reveal my prize right away, tonight I couldn’t resist. In a city I love, with my spirits high, I am letting you all know that I soon will be the Challenger for one Riots biggest prizes, the Riot Championship.

The crowd erupts in cheers although knowing the person she had to face probably helped influence that some, whether you loved him or hated him Rayne’s was an incredible athlete.

Haylie LaFluer:
I won’t deny that the road ahead will be a tough one, but as you’ve all seen with my Formulaic deeds, never count out this Haylie.

She gave a wink before handing the microphone back and dropping down beneath the ropes to slide down to the floor raising her hands in the air as the fans cheered her off.

Early on here in Paris, France we cut to a shot of the Eiffel Tower, what appears to just be a establishing shot of the famous tower while MWE makes a stop in Paris. But suddenly the boos come from the crowd in the arena who are watching this pre-recorded video. They are not booing the tourist attraction however, they are booing the two standing near to it. As we pan out we see the Junior Heavyweight Champion, Rainer Nordhagen wearing an expensive looking coat and pants. Next to him is Karen Eldon who is wearing a very elegant and flowing dress on their visit to the tower.

Karen Eldon:
You know, I wasn’t sure it was going to be as pretty as it is. But it is rather lovely…Even if the people here in France do smell.

Karen looks at disgust as a few people pass by them on the streets, as she stares up at the tower. What she doesn’t see is what draws even heavier boos from the crowd as behind her Rainer has dropped to a knee, and has started to dig into his coat pocket to get out a ring. The fans in the building forced to watch this can only boo in horror, much preferring not to have been a part of this. Turning around Karen’s eyes light up, in excitement.

Rainer Nordhagen:
Karen, we are already the most talented, best looking, dominant couple in all of wrestling. And I think the only next step…is to rid yourself of that Eldon name.

Though you might expect insulting the name of the person you're proposing to would be offensive to some. It’s clear that from the tears starting to form in Karen’s eyes that she doesn’t mind. Seeming more than done with sharing the same name as her children and her recently debuting niece.

Rainer Nordhagen:
Karen, will you be my wife…Karen Nordhagen…Will you marry me?

Rainer presents the ring, opening the box to Karen who looks at the ring, people knowing Karen know that she wouldn’t be accepting of just any ring. And it’s clear Rainer went all out, the ring looking rather large as Karen nods her head in excitement.

Karen Eldon:
Yes I will!

Karen says this as Rainer gets to his feet as the two embrace in a hug that leads into a kiss, right in front of the Eiffel Tower. What would appear to be a storybook wedding proposal, met with no admiration from the crowd who watched on in disgust as the two shared a rather long kiss. As they break apart Karen extends out her hand as Rainer slides on the ring to her finger, Karen admiring it as she does.

Rainer Nordhagen:
We are going to take over this place, babe.

Rainer says this arm around her as Karen, wipes a few tears out of her eyes, looking a bit of a mess.

Karen Eldon:
I can’t wait to plan the wedding!

Karen says this excited though the entire world can only pray for whatever poor wedding planner has to deal with Karen in the lead up to the wedding. The two embrace looking up at the tower, as we return ringside to see a very upset looking crowd watching this unfold. These French audience members wishing their city had nothing to do with this.

Singles Match

Tank Steiner VS Rainer Nordhagen

The title match we will never see. In an ironic twist of fate, Tank Steiner walked out of Anarchy In The UK with the one title shot he couldn’t cash in, the Junior Heavyweight championship held by Rainer Nordhagen. But even though the Austrian Hulk couldn’t compete for the gold, management still granted him a crack at the former Academy student, despite his attempt to be pulled from the match due to a made-up injury. His attitude and the limp he pretended to have as he walked to the ring didn’t move Herr Steiner who stayed true to his promise and greeted Rainer with a flurry of his terrific chops. The young Junior Heavyweight champion took the first break after withstanding five of those hard blows. His chest already assumed a reddish color, the print of Tank’s massive hand impressed on his pecs.
Sliding back in the ring, Nordhagen unleashed a flurry of strikes, but they didn’t seem to affect Tank. Only the standing dropkick had enough strength to make him stumble backward into the ropes, but the Big Austrian bounced back with a big boot that floored the Junior Heavyweight champion. Tank ran the ropes and jumped on the champ with a senton, squashing him with way more of the 210 pounds Rainer was used to in his division weight. But he still managed to get his shoulder up in time, although getting squashed by the heavyweight called for another break on the outside.
The boos were almost deafening as Rainer signaled that he was done, complaining about that fake ankle injury. Tank was not letting him get away and followed him up the ramp, clubbing him with a hard blow to the back. The referee started counting them both out, but just kept trading strikes. Rainer went low, aiming at Tank’s knee and taking it out with a kick. Without wasting any time, he hit the big man with the Last Stand (running knee strike) and left him for dead, rushing back in the ring and asking that the ref would count the Austrian behemoth out. But he vastly underestimated Tank’s resilience, as he made it back to the ring before the ten count.
Herr Steiner was still in the match, but he surely was feeling the effect of that knee strike. The Academy graduate was controlling the match now, moving quickly around the dazed opponent and kept him on the ropes with stiff strikes. Knees, kicks, elbows, forearms… He hit Tank with every part of his body, keeping him pinned in the corner as he unleashed the Torrential Rainer. When the big man finally hit the ground, Rainer climbed to the top rope and jumped on his lower back with a double foot stomp.
Even if he calls himself The Veteran, Rainer was still prone to making rookie mistakes. One was thinking he could submit Tank Steiner with a, to his credit, perfectly applied sharpshooter. Tank was able to crawl to the ropes and break up the submission. Tank got up and the Martyr tried to hit him with a second Last Stand but he got turned inside out by a clothesline. From that moment on, it was all Tank Steiner. He tossed Rainer around like he weighed nothing with a series of suplexes, including his trademark Austrian version. He even took him for a spin with his Giant Swing, coming close to his personal record of fifty rotations. When he finally stopped, Nordhagen looked drunk, stumbling around and barely able to stand. Karen came to rescue her fiance, yelling at the referee that she wants to speak to his manager for forcing Rainer to compete despite the injury. All that racket she was making had the sole purpose to distract the referee and give Rainer time to recover. The Junior Heavyweight champion kicked Tank in his lower regions and then blasted him with another Last Stand, this time for the three.

WINNER: Rainer Nordhagen
BY: Pinfall (Last Stand), 10:10

Rylee Robinson:
It's an honor to be here tonight in PARIS for another incredible edition of RIOT! Tonight my guest is someone that the fans are quickly becoming more and more familiar with, I'm talking about the STILL undefeated in singles competition, Prodigy of Millennium, Ms. Paula Parker.

The camera pans back to show Paula stepping into the frame, minus her brothers who are probably getting into some sort of trouble backstage.

Rylee Robinson:
Paula, thank you for joining me once again. How do you feel after your toughest challenge to date, Javen? That match seemed to open quite a few eyes.

Paula Parker:
How do I feel? Satisfied. The outcome was expected. I'll give credit where it's due, Javen, for an old man, still has enough to get into the ring, but that's where the kindness ends. The fact that he thought he could keep up with me was preposterous. He learned a valuable lesson: don't cross The Prodigy. Something a lot more are going to learn around here, sooner rather than later.

Rylee Robinson:
Fair enough. I have to admit, that match was incredible, and you came out on top. Some people are saying now that the training wheels are coming off. Millennium has moved you out of the opening match and tonight, you go one on one with The Viper herself, NINA. I have to admit, she should be a lot tougher than Caleb Rush was a few weeks ago.

The interviewer snickers which draws the ire of the undefeated Prodigy.

Paula Parker:
Your sass isn't needed, you're here to interview me, I'm the star of this show, not you. As for the level of competition increasing? Good. It's what I've wanted. I skipped The Academy for a reason. I'll leave that to the OTHER newcomers like Reign, you know, her level. Me? I want the hall of famers, I want the champions, I want the spotlight, and I'm ready for all of it. If Javen opened people's eyes, than this match with NINA is going to keep them open. She's been doing this professionally for three years longer than I have, but it won't matter. As talented as she is? I'm better. It isn't everyday that wrestling reporters and scouts alike nickname someone 'The Prodigy'. It's a name that has to be earned, and I'm proving that I've earned it every singel time I step into a ring. Opening the show was a treat for the fans, but moving up the card? It's where I belong. Now, you can go take a seat and enjoy the show, don't worry, I'll make it unforgettable.

She shoos the interviewer away andn takes the microphone.

Paula Parker:
NINA, darling, tonight is a night that you will never forget. It's one that you can tell your children and grandchildren about one day. The time you wrestled Paula Parker in her rookie year. When the history books are written, I'll have an entire chapter dedicated to me. Call me arrogant, call me pompous, it doesn't matter. When the final bell rings? They will simply call me victorious. I'll see you out there, Neens.

Singles Match

Nina VS Paula Parker

Nina was a woman on a mission. “avenging” her good friend Javen and relaunching her career. And what better way to do that than being the one who ended Paula’s undefeated streak? The Viper, as her usual, stayed on the defensive leaving Paula to take the initiative. The Prodigy tested Nina’s reflexes with some low kicks, checked by the Chicago native with her leg. The first part of this match was similar to a game of chess with the younger wrestler trying to find an opening in the opponent’s guard and Nina patiently waiting for her to make a mistake she could take advantage of. And eventually Parker’s misstep happened and the Viper blocked one of her kicks and lifted her in the air just to drop her onto her knee with a shin breaker.
Nina’s game plan was clear, same as most of her matches: working on the opponent’s leg to lay the groundwork for the Leg Constrictor or the Fight Lab Calf Crusher. But just because her offense could easily be predicted, it didn’t mean Paula had it easy to counter it, or escape that intricate web of submissions Nina put her in. The submission expert twisted and tortured Paula’s leg in ways it was not supposed to bend, bringing the Prodigy on the verge of tapping out. With one last effort, Parker reached the bottom rope and forced Nina to break the hold. Her brothers quickly pulled her out of the ring, buying her some time to regroup.
That interference, and the ones that came after, really started to annoy Nina, who became more concerned with Jesse, Jackie and Justin shenanigans than her real opponent. Which inevitably led to Paula taking control and dropping the distracted Viper down with an inverted DDT. The Prodigy finally started to show her undoubted skill obtaining a count of two with a picture perfect springboard shooting star press.
Nina briefly turned the tides with the Viper Sting (Sambo casting punch) and locked Paula in the Fight Lab calf crusher. Once again Paula’s brothers helped the Prodigy with Jackie providing the distraction and Justin blasting Nina on the head behind the ref’s shoulders, freeing his sister from the painful predicament. Nina tried to kick him in the face but she got quickly rolled up by Paula. At the very last moment, Nina managed to kick out and the match continued.
It didn’t last long though, with Nina using her Fang (one finger takedown) on Paula and launch herself through the ropes to take down Jackie and Jesse with a suicide dive. Justin came to avenge his siblings which is exactly what Nina wanted. He charged toward her, she charged toward him and took him down with her Leg Constrictor (Sambo Rolling Knee Bar). Justin’s cry of pain caught the attention of Jackie who got up to his feet and went to help his brother. It was Paula who stopped him, telling him to wait a moment. If he attacked Nina now, she would lose the match via disqualification. If he waited a couple a few seconds, at least until the ref’s count to ten ended, Paula would be awarded the win via count-out. And after the bell rang, he could have attacked her. A ruthless plan that would leave Justin in the clutches of The Viper who looked determined to snap his leg, but Jesse and Jackie both adhered to it. When the ref finally yelled “TEN!” and ordered for the bell to be sounded, they went for Nina. But she quickly let go of Justin’s leg and fled through the fans, not even bothered by the fact that she lost the match.

WINNER: Paula Parker

[Earlier today]

Backstage we see Matt Stone walking down the hallway dragging two wheeled trolleys with stacks of suitcases on either one, Matt’s tag partner Veronica Sawyer follows carrying a bag under her arm.

Matt Stone:
Remind me again why on a night where I’m main eventing the show that I’m somehow required to carry all of your bags into the building?

Veronica Sawyer:
I’m helping to keep you in top shape, don’t want you going soft when we’re getting closer to the goals we want to accomplish.

As she is speaking, Veronica’s eyes are drawn towards her phone, clearly in the middle of something else while she is walking. However she is able to glance upwards long enough to make a quick noise under her breath, pointing her index finger at Matt’s back.

Veronica Sawyer:
Be careful with the shoes!

Matt Stone:
How many of these are shoes?

He asks, glancing back only to find that Veronica is once again looking down at her phone. He rolls his eyes and stops just long enough to allow Veronica to walk into one of the stacks of bags.

Matt Stone:
Oops.

Veronica Sawyer:
You did that on purpose!

Veronica frowns as she rubs over one ankle trying to regain her composure. Finally she puts her phone away as she places both of her hands on her hips.

Veronica Sawyer:
I might have gone a little overboard with the shopping, but we are in Paris.

Matt Stone:
Might?

He questions, facing front again and beginning to walk back down the halls.

Matt Stone:
I should be focused on my match with a literal Archangel right now and instead, I’m carrying what has to be like a hundred pairs of shoes. Overboard doesn’t begin to describe it.

Veronica Sawyer:
Oh please, don’t even pretend like you’re nervous about your match tonight.

Matt Stone:
I’m not nervous, I don’t know where you got nervous from what I said, just that I have better things to do than to be your bag boy.

They get to the door and Matt turns to look at her.

Matt Stone:
Could you at least get that?

Veronica Sawyer:
Don’t say I never do anything for you.

Veronica smirks in his direction before she steps forward and grabs onto the handle of the door, turning it, before she pushes it open with a flourish.

Matt Stone:
I would never

He smirks and walks in the room, happily allowing for the trolleys to stop in the middle of the room as he takes the top one off, the only one of the several bags that is his.

Matt Stone:
Tell me I’m going to have the best dressed valet in all of wrestling with all of these options.

Veronica Sawyer:
I’ll be honest with you, the camera is probably going to be more focused on me than anything going on inside of the ring.

Veronica laughs as she strides over towards her large collection of bags, opening some of them so that she can start looking through all of her options for the evening. Matt on the other hand is already taking his ring attire out of his own bag and setting it aside.

Matt Stone:
I don’t know about all that. Wrestling is the most fascinating thing in Paris, not fashion. It doesn’t take me long to figure out what to wear, but what I do between the ropes is art. Can you honestly tell me picking a matching top and bottom is art?

Veronica Sawyer:
The perfect outfit can turn me into a literal walking work of art.

As she is speaking, Veronica is holding a dress up against herself, taking the time to do a little spin around the room. Matt eyes her for a moment, shaking his head.

Matt Stone:
Ah yes, I forgot you could just forgo the matching outfit and wear one piece of clothing. The skill is on full display

He quips sarcastically, but does add something else once she glares at him.He sighs first.

Matt Stone:
Of course you look good Veronica.

Veronica Sawyer:
That’s just a given.

Veronica tosses the dress to the side before she starts to dig through more of the bags.

Veronica Sawyer:
Don’t diminish the hard work that goes into the proper outfit either.

Matt Stone:
Shouldn’t you be more careful with that? You just spent like…well I don’t know, but I’m guessing it wasn’t cheap. In fact, what I’m getting from this plethora of clothing is that you make way too much money.

Veronica Sawyer:
How dare you say such a thing to me!

Veronica appears almost offended by his words as she puts on an expression of panicked horror before she picks up a few various items of clothing.

Veronica Sawyer:
Let me just do some mixing and matching, have a seat, this might take awhile.

He sighs and takes a seat on the bench.

Matt Stone:
Is this like the Spongebob meme where it’s like ‘one eternity later’? I should probably warm up at some point, ya know.

Veronica just eyes him for a moment, perfectly manicured eyebrow raised.

Matt Stone:
You don’t know Spongebob, do you? Ohh boy, you’ve got a lot to learn about popular culture.

Veronica shakes her head and pulls out a flashy top from one of her bags.

Veronica Sawyer:
You’ve got a lot to learn about women, Matt. How does this look?

Matt Stone:
Makes your boobs look big

He quips with a smirk as Veronica sighs.

Veronica Sawyer:
If you’re not going to take this seriously then we we shouldn’t be doing this at all.

Matt Stone:
Sold!

With that, Matt takes his stuff and promptly walks out the room, Veronica watches him leave and shakes her head.

Tag Team Match

Warblade 42 VS Walker & Jasper King

After coming up short in their title match at Anarchy In The UK, Jasper King and Walker were left with no choice but to climb back the ranks and try to earn another opportunity. Valkyrie and Niko were also looking to get back where they were before Yua’s horrific injury over one year ago. But what could potentially be an exciting match between two hungry teams never even got to start as 2MF1 decided to attack Warblade 42 in retaliation for the loss suffered at their hands at Anarchy In The UK when the Dane-Japanese duo made their surprise return and defeat Camila Abrines and Kiki. Jasper wanted to help them but Walker stopped him, stating it was none of their business. Security eventually came to separate the two teams, pulling Camila and Kiki back behind the curtain but not before they left Warblade 42 laid to waste. To add insult to injury, Walker asked the referee to start the match and, if Valkyrie and Niko couldn’t make it to the ring, award them the win. Which is exactly what happened after a wry ten count the two women never had a chance to answer.

WINNER: Walker & Jasper King

After a close up to Abigail's Locker room door we fade into Abby Blake wearing an Elsa inspired two piece ring gear as she's just checking out the wonderful job MWE's staff have done on her appearance.

Abby Blake:
Mirror Mirror, who's walking out Chaos Theory Champion?

Abby then points at herself as the camera pans across, sealing Abby's reflection as the focal point. Then a snap cut back to Abby.

Abby Blake:
I? That's quite the compliment considering Jessica Carter is quite the experienced wrestler. Legitimately the first opponent I couldn't fully watch all their matches before tonight because there's just so much. She's probably seen a lot in the ring.

There's a clever cut with the camera going up to the ceiling and comes back down to Blake now out in the hall carrying her Championship Title on her shoulder proudly.

Abby Blake:
Whereas I'm kinda exclusive to Millennium Wrestling. Valiant Wrestling went into a hiatus, and I guess it's a sign.

The Blaker Girl scans over the title as she continues her walk down the hall.

Abby Blake:
To focus exclusively on my career path here. With my time split between two companies I've still proven I can win it, and defend it. In the UK I had to.

There's a split in the camera shot now showing Abby twice on screen, and the audio layered.

Abby Blake:
Split my focus

Before it snaps back to just the one shot of Abby who now stops.

Abby Blake:
To keep this gold right here. Tonight it's Jess and only Jess. She works hard. I've heard nothing but good things from that Mimi girl when I brought Jessica up this week. She won't be taking this from me. I won't let that happen.

Abby then covers the lens with her hand to make it dark, then uncovers it to show Blake is still backstage, but in the parking lot. Blake is leaning against the production truck now featuring Abby on the side of it.

Abby Blake:
I'm going all the way with this title. All the way. Jessica Carter can come to France to try take it, won't let it happen.

Chaos Theory Championship Match

Under the new rules of the Chaos Theory championship, Abby’s defense in that triple threat match in London counted as two defenses of the five she needed to trade the title for a shot at the Junior or Riot championship. Her opponent was not a pushover, a very accomplished tag and single wrestler. The two exchanged some pleasantries before the match, showing a mutual respect you don’t alway see when the stakes are so high. After a quick fist bump, the two began to run the ropes, exchanging quick pin attempts. They kept the referee busy with a long series of near falls before they both ended up with their shoulders on the canvas at the same time. The official counted a double pin and both Jessica and Abby kicked out in two and half.
The first part of the match was perfectly level-headed. They seemed to have a counter for every opponent’s moves, dodging strikes, parrying blows, trading holds and wrestling to a stalemate. The balance was even more clear when, after Jessica countered Abby’s Irish whip attempt and sent the champ into the ropes, they simultaneously went for a big boot, knocking each other down.
Change of plans for Blake who decided to bring the fight to the mat, where she likely had a slight advantage on Carter. She took her down with an armdrag and began to work on that limb. Jessica may not be known for her technical expertise, but she has quite a few years worth of experience to escape Abby’s grasp and create some separation between herself and the champion. She quickly closed the distance with a headscissor and a dropkick, sending Blake on the mat and rolling under the bottom rope. When the champion got back to her feet Jessica run to the opposite side of the ring to gain momentum and leap over the top rope, grabbing Abby and connecting a huge sunset flip powerbomb to the outside.
After that big move, the momentum was clearly on Jessica’s side. The veteran and fashion icon delivered some quick striking combinations to wear down the champion, coming very close to the win with her trademark Veneno (desecrator), Blake barely survived the high impact move, raising her shoulder at the very last moment, almost giving her French fans a heart attack. Carter saw the opportunity to add some gold to her resume while waiting for her tag team partner Evelyn to recover from the brutal assault suffered at the hands of the Division and tried to strike the iron while it was hot, but her Show Stealer (corkscrew 620 senton) found nobody home.
Coming so close to losing the title she had worked so hard to obtain triggered something in Abby. In the remaining six minutes or so the blonde showed off her vast arsenal of moves, completely turning the tide and reminding everyone why she’s a champion. Moves like the Rosehammer Suplex (jackhammer suplex) and The Quantum Knee Drop (shooting star Bakula earned her two near falls and showed how versatile she was. But the deal sealer was, once again, her patented Fore, giving her the third successful defense and stopping the clock with little over one spare minute.

WINNER: Abby Blake (STILL CHAOS THEORY CHAMPION)

We cut backstage where we find the reigning MWE World Tag Team Champions, Summer Collins and Jessica Lasiewicz, along with their manager the ever so flamboyant Leviticus. Summer is wearing her tri-colored royal blue, black, and white cheerleader uniform while “The Archangel” Jessica Lasiewicz is dressed in her old attire, typical black one piece attire with matching black boots and a hooded jacket. The Archangel appears to be very intense, very focused on the task at hand; a one on one match against Matt Stone.

Jessica Lasiewicz:
J'aime Paris. C'est dommage que je doive passer mon temps à botter le cul d'un mec.

Leviticus:
That’s right, Jess! You tell ‘em! You speak the truth about how great this group is, how great FABULOUS is, and…

The Archangel rolls her eyes and smacks The Most Loved Man on the Planet in the back of his head, causing him to yelp in pain.

Leviticus:
Ouch! What was that for?

Jessica Lasiewicz:
Réfléchissez-y, crétin.

Leviticus:
Huh? I don’t understand Polish.

Again Lasiewicz smacks him in the back of his head. This causes laughter from Summer Collins as well.

Jessica Lasiewicz:
Je ne parle pas polonais en ce moment, crétin.

Leviticus:
Was it something I said?

Summer Collins:
Levi, sweetie, Jessie here is very much like her aunt, academy coach Lady Magdalena. Both have a fondness for France. So she’s speaking French right now. Haven’t you noticed how she’s been speaking French since we arrived here in Paris yesterday?

Captain Capitalism shrugs his shoulders.

Leviticus:
Was I supposed to?

Jessica Lasiewicz:
Lévitique, tu es stupide.

The Archangel starts to walk away.

Leviticus:
Did she just call me stupid?

Summer Collins:
Yes.

We followed The Archangel as she marches further down the hall. Eventually she spots none other than her half-sister, the eccentric and demented ginger Kimberly Williams. The reigning SCW Underground Champion is dressed up like Pepe Le Pew from Loony Tunes and has a French Beret on her head.

Kimberly Williams:
Bonjou sè mwen chè, chè nan kò mwen, nou rankontre ankò pou premye fwa e pwobableman pa dènye fwa! Nou pral atake plaj yo! Nou pral imaple moun ki pa kwayan yo! Nou pral fè Matthew Stone gade alimèt Divizyon pou tout letènite nan yon tantativ pou fè l 'lanmò!

Jessica Lasiewicz:
…Kim…what the hell…

The Queens of Chaos member jumps up and down and claps her hands happily.

Kimberly Williams:
I knew it! I knew it! I knew I could make you break! Pay up!

Jessica Lasiewicz:
We didn’t have a bet.

Kimberly Williams:
I know. Because you are a party pooper and no fun.

Jessica Lasiewicz:
What do you want?

Kimberly Williams:
Just wanted to offer my services. Y’know, if you needed someone competent to watch your back.

The Archangel smirks and then shakes her head.

Jessica Lasiewicz:
Thanks but no thanks, Kim. I love you to death, I really do, but I have Summer and Levi in my corner, more than enough to neutralize Veronica and anyone else who may decide to step in.

Kimberly Williams:
You’re really putting your faith in that clown?

Lasiewicz shrugs her shoulders.

Jessica Lasiewicz:
I admit, Levi is a bit of a clown. But Summer is more than competent.

Kimberly Williams:
Fair enough. If you need me, just call! I’ll be somewhere stalking a poor black cat who accidentally had a white stripe of paint painted down its back!

Williams skips away happily.

Singles Match

Matt Stone (w/ Veronica Sawyer) VS Jessica Lasiewicz (W/ Summer Collins)

The big, although not without controversy, win obtained at Anarchy In The UK propelled PCP on top of the tag division rankings, first in line for a shot at Fabulous. A spot they, we learned at the recent PPV, will have to share of the brand new team of Tiana Petrova-Hammond and the returning Trinity Thompson, forcing Jessica and Summer to defend in another Triple Threat match at Zeitgeist. This was just the first of a series of matches between the six participants, a way for them to get to know each other better before the clash with the gold on the line.
They started trading strikes, with Matt getting the early advantage until Jessica caught him with a knee to the gut and hit a DDT for a two count. Jessica was in no mood to play and went immediately for the Our Lady Peace but the Canadian had that one scouted and managed to dodge the bicycle kick, quickly catching the tag team champion with his Stone Cutter, obtaining a near fall of his own. Not even three minutes in and we already saw a couple of close calls, proof that even though there was nothing at stake here, neither of them was taking this lightly..
Jessica was opting for a more daredevil style tonight, trying to catch Matt off guard with her speed and aerial attacks. It worked well actually, at least until Matt dodged a springboard moonsault and hit her with a stiff kick to the ribs. The Abominable Showman, now in control, kept the pressure on Lasiewicz with some holds, slowing down the pace of the match. Jessica, well versed in that aspect of the game, wrestled her way out of Matt’s submission but right when she started to build some momentum Stone caught her with a Saito Suplex, obtaining a two count.
Another suplex attempt from the Canadian, but Jessica was able to block it this time and took Matt down with a Russian leg sweep. He quickly got back to his feet but ate a jumping knee from the Archangel. The blow stunned Matt, leaving him checking for blood. Jessica left him no time to recover and hit him with a roundhouse kick followed with a curb stomp completing the combo she called Beauty. She quickly hooked the leg and made the cover, but Stone raised his shoulder before the three count.
Another change of momentum in this back and forth match saw Matt regaining control after countering an Irish whip and sending Jessica in the corner and blasting her with a running forearm strike. He then lifted Lasiewicz and connected his MLG 360 No Scope (elevated ace crusher) that gave him yet another near fall. A wide smirk appeared on his face as he watched Jessica slowly starting to make it up to her feet. He teased it on Twitter and he kept his word, showing Jessica and the Parisian fans that he could do the Archangel’s move better than her. He gave her a taste of her own medicine with his version of the Pure Deformation, but it wasn’t enough to keep the tag team champion down.
The Archangel wasn’t happy. After kicking out of her own move, she stood back up, staring a hole in her opponent. Her next series of attacks was way more stiff than anything she had thrown so far, a new fire burning inside her. Another Our Lady Peace connected, sending Stone flying on the mat. The veteran was barely able to survive that, and the following In Your Dreams (swinging fisherman neckbreaker) got Jessica even closer to the three. This match now could only end in one way, with the original Pure Deformation. As good as Matt’s version was, Jessica’s one was superior, and gave the Archangel a hard fought win.

WINNER: Jessica Lasiewicz
