After Atlantis…

“Thanks for the save back there.”

MYOJIN took deep breaths, walking into their locker room after pinning one of their challengers, Matt Miles, earlier in the night. Holding a towel in their hand, they wiped sweat from their forehead as they went to sit down. Also in their locker room, was the other Tag Team Champion- Savannah Sunshine. The Shining Star owed her one, giving her a friendly smile. She had come to their rescue as soon as the Dynasty attempted to jump them- also inadvertently helping the blonde get the win. “I knew they were going to get involved sooner or later, just glad that you were there to even the odds a bit.”

If there was one thing she hated, it was a bully. Tired didn’t even cut it when it came to how she felt. But, this was what was expected. There would be a target on both of their backs so long as they had these titles. She was grateful to have MYOJIN as a partner, for the first time in a long time, she had someone who she could get along with and handle business with. Taking a long sip from the water bottle in her hands, a small smile crossed her lips as she screwed the cap back onto it. “Of course, you’d have done the same for me. Besides, it wouldn’t feel right leaving you to the hounds like that. We’re a team, we look out for each other. That’s how all of this works now.” She lightly nudges MYOJIN, grin brightening on her lips as she takes a seat beside them. [color:b630=##C3B1E1]“How are you feeling?”

She was right, they had to look out for each other. Being the World Tag Team Champions meant that for as long as they had the belts, others would be aiming to take them off their A-game. Thankfully, that wouldn't be happening any time soon. MYOJIN's confidence in their partner grew more and more as time went on. “Pretty good. I wonder how Miles is going to spin this story, considering how he was talking pretty big about how he was going to break and humiliate me- when he lost to a rollup.”

A smirk cracked on the blonde's features, “He takes himself way too seriously, but that doesn't mean he or Senn won't be a threat. We won the championships, but defending them is the harder part. How have you been?”

Thinking back on the events that had transpired, she can’t help the slight smirk. The look on their faces as she came out swinging was satisfying enough. Though, it was even better to see Matt served a taste of his own medicine. “Oh, I’m sure he’ll have plenty of excuses for this. Probably blame me for sticking my nose into business that doesn’t involve me, yada yada.” She waves a hand dismissively, leaning back against the wall as she crosses her arms over her chest. “Can’t say I regret any of it though. I’d do it again if it meant doing the right thing.” A firm nod followed, settling with her own thoughts.

Legs crossed carefully as she sat up, sitting against the wall a bit. “Everyone we face is a threat. No one ever said this was going to be easy. But, we won’t make this easy for them. We’ll do whatever it takes to go home with these at the end of the night.” She taps her own title and then MYOJIN’s with a small smile. “I’m fine. Really. I’ve been… admittedly slacking lately. But, it’s not going to happen again. I can’t let anyone down and I would hate to be the reason something bad happened or something.” She grimaces a bit with a sigh.

MYOJIN's easygoing expression faltered, as they looked over to their partner. They tossed their towel over to the side and clasped their hands together, “Hey. We wouldn't be champions if we both couldn't carry our own weight. You haven't let me down, and I won't let you down either. Setbacks happen, but I believe in you- so you need to believe in yourself.” They reached over, patting her on the shoulder.

It meant the world to her that they still trusted her. She had always had bad luck when it came to tag teams, but this was one partnership she intended to follow through with. “Yeah… You’re right. Even if my setbacks are a lot lately. But, it’s about how to come back from the setbacks.” A smile crossed her lips and she nodded. “No matter what, we’re going to make sure we do what we do best. Kick ass and take names. While defending our shiny titles to the fullest of our abilities. Nothing and no one will take these from us.”

MYOJIN finally stood up, picking up their bag and things. Smiling at Savannah, they nodded in agreement. “Besides, I think that it's time for you to prove everyone wrong. The Council, Wakefield and Cage, now the Dynasty- they all keep saying that you're the weak link and that you're dragging me down- Doesn't that piss you off? Doesn't that make you want to prove them wrong, everyone wrong? Our first title defense is the chance to do just that, to show everyone what I've known all along- that we're equals.”

It takes her slightly off guard when MYOJIN speaks up. She knows what everyone thinks of her. She’s failed time and time again here in OWA. Especially with this being a new era for her on a new brand with new friends and opportunities and new enemies. She tries not to let their words get to her, but sometimes… It’s easier said than done. “Yeah, I know. Everyone thinks I’m a failure. I’m dead weight. That you deserve someone a lot better as a partner and…” She pauses, takes a sip from her water bottle as she lets out a slight sigh. “Maybe they’re right. There are tons of other people who would be a lot more worthier as your partner. But, right now? As long as we work together? This is my spot.” She stands to her feet, dusting her hands off. “This partnership is not just for show. We’re doing this to prove to everyone that we can handle anything thrown our way… and no matter what, that’s exactly what we will do.”

MYOJIN frowned, walking over to place a hand firmly- but with reassurance- on their partner's shoulder. “Stop talking like that. You are good enough. You are capable. If you keep looking down on yourself, the Dynasty's already won before we got in the ring. They want you to think less of yourself. They want me to doubt you. They don't want us to be focused together- So, show me the same spirit you had when we were gunning for these belts in the first place.”

The reassurance was something she needed. Not that she doubted them, because they had been nothing if not supportive during the duration of their friendship. But, she knew how hard she had to work to make everyone realize this was where she wanted to be. A firm nod and a small smile and she’s settled. “You’re right. I have to be better than that. I have to stop letting what others think of me dictate the things I do. So, no more icky gross getting down on myself. If it’s a fight they want? It’s a fight they’ll get. Even if it means making them swallow their own teeth at the end of it all. Team Starburst is going big or going home, eh?” She grins, holding a fist out towards them for a fist bump.

“That's what I want to hear. This is going to be the first successful defense out of many.” The blonde bumps their fist with Savannah's, before picking up their tag belt and placing it around their shoulder. “Now, let's go grab something to eat, yeah? I'm kind of hungry.”

Laughter spills from her lips as she smiles brightly, nodding as she adjusts her own tag belt over one of her shoulders. “Ditto. Good sounds too good right now. Let’s get out of here.” Bag carefully drapes over her opposite shoulder as the pair head out for the night.


If there's one thing that training in martial arts has ever told me, possibly the most important thing beyond torturous submissions and devastating strikes- is that it's not just pure violence for the sake of it. It's something more, something like a language without words. A language where the body's actions and reflexes do all the talking. When you fight someone, you learn something about that person- you get to know that person on another, more intimate level than anyone else gets to know them. You see their true colors, who they are down to their core. How they react to their plans going wrong, how they react to a challenge. How they handle adversity. Most importantly, you see right in front of you- just what their weaknesses and insecurities are, even in something simple as grappling with them and seeing how they react to your every move. I got to know Matt Miles in this way on Atlantis.

And l have to say, he's not much more than a little bitch. A dog with all bark no bite, excuse me- more like whimpers as he goes on to lick his wounds by losing to one of the most simple, textbook BASIC wrestling moves- a rollup.

How does that feel, sweetie? After all that loud talk, saying how you were going to embarrass me. How you were going to break me, how you were going to do all these things to me and how it would take a miracle to beat you- and all I had to do was catch you off guard with one simple move, with not much of a scratch left on me either. Come on, you even had the numbers advantage on the outside- If Savannah is such a loser, how did my bestie catch your two boys lacking and how did you get distracted so easily?

It's because throughout all your talk, all the boring typical egotistical generic bullshit that flows out of your mouth- You're not as good as you seem to think you are. Just because you and Senn are former champions doesn't make you untouchable, I proved that in three seconds- and of course? You make excuses. You say you didn't care and wanted to go home, despite the shocked look on your face when you realized you loss- despite you getting the Dynasty involved- despite seeing how you wanted to hurt me… Suddenly you don't care when things get inconvenient for you, you have to spin the narrative in a way that protects your fragile feelings. And then you bring up money, trying to boast about how you make more than me- as if I give a shit about money. I'm here to wrestle, I'm here to win, I'm here to make you tap out. I couldn't care any less about the money in your pocket, what I do care about is showing the thousands in attendance how much of a clown you are again at Boiling Point.

Though, even I have to admit- that was a singles match. This is for the World Tag Team Titles Savannah and I busted our asses for- and you're not the only generic white boy I have on my radar.

Hey, Senn. How are you doing, babe? I just wanna say- the alcoholic housewife hair doesn't look very good on someone with the face of a wife-beating redneck along with the awful beard isn't great look. I can't tell where your chin starts or ends.

I love how you two can't seem to come up with an original insult to save your lives. You do know Miles already used the whole “Savannah Sunshine is holding you back” schtick before? You guys need to talk to each other before you decide to air promos, it's pretty much like you just copied your homework. You two keep focusing on her, saying how she's the weak link- how she's a bad partner, and it's because you both know that I am just that DAMN good that you can't even talk shit about my wrestling ability. You can't find any faults in my skills because I've only lost ONCE here in OWA- so you try to go for the next best thing, you both try to punch down on whatever fault you think you have-

When in truth, the only thing you goofballs are doing is underestimating her and her ability. If she's a bad tag partner, how come Team Starburst is undefeated? No other team has beaten us, no other team will. If she's a bad teammate, why did we have these in the first place? Oh, that's right, we "ruined" the prestige of these belts somehow- you're talking like we've tarnished the legacy of these titles, are you fucking stupid? You two are our first defense. How did we ruin these belts if this is the first test of our reign?

Senn, just admit. You're making up pretentious shit on the fly to sound all mighty and righteous. Talking about how you're going to bring prestige to these belts, when the two of you are pretty much just like the Council and the Blacklist- arrogant goofballs who always think they're above everyone else, that they're smarter than everyone else- and when that's proven wrong and their reality is shattered, they cry and make excuses. It's almost like none of you learn or pay attention- The both of you are giving us the same BS we heard from every other team we've went through. All I've gained from hearing you two talk is about how you're brothers along with giving each other fellatio in sixty-nine position about how great you are. Bragging about the Dynasty and all the titles you've collected, as if winning a belt once makes you invincible and suddenly the GOATs- You're both too busy trying boasting to realize the threats in front of you.

I don't have to prove a dam thing to you, soccer mom- Oops, I mean Senn. My record and my success in my short time here does all the talking for me. You have to prove yourself to ME- I'm one of the champs, you're not.

Savannah and I are a bigger threat than either of you want to admit- but that's okay, that makes our jobs easier. Keep talking down to Savannah, it'll be easier for her to surprise you both when she starts fighting with a chip on her shoulder and you've realized that you've set her off. Keep telling me how I've made a mistake, how I've tied myself down, trying to tell me my partner isn't good enough- And I'll be too busy kicking one of your heads off and tearing your limbs off.

Truth is, the tag team division has gone stale. All its filled with is the same generic losers who have superiority complexes and overcompensate for the lack of personality by acting like they're the greatest when the truth is- they're mediocre. That's why we can't lose to you, because we're the solution to that problem- We're not Generic Tag Team #250. We're the flavor, the reinvigoration, that OWA has desperately needed for a long time.

It's going to be really fun watching the smug looks drop from your faces when you get beat by us, the two you think you're both so superior too.

So I guess, the question is….

Which one of you wants to volunteer getting your leg broken by me and your face smashed in by her?

First of all, the Pokemon TCG game is fuckin trash. How dare you?! Second, Noah Quinn, How the fuck am I suppose to know what people have said about you? I don't waste my nights watching Olympus. I literally hand picked almost everyone for this Ultimate X match and picked you out of a hat of guys that were not booked for the big show. The fact I only knew you for being a Fiora lackey instead of a decorated champion should show that maybe, deep down, you aren't known for the beatdowns you are so proud of, but for the stupid decisions you make. I didn't want to say it, because I didn't want to send your self-esteem spiralling further down. But there, I said it. I wanted JD Damon, I wanted Kevin Maverick. I wanted a rep from Black Suns, and got Kenta Saru. But you, someone told me, you should add this, after all, he is the "greatest TV Champion of all time" and needed something to do this weekend. It was legit like having to bring along my girlfriends loser little brother along so he didn't feel left out. And honestly, I hope you win, I really do, because some times, it's the biggest loser that needs the win the most. 

I should be careful with my next couple of words, because it would sound like I pity you, which isn't true. Am I annoyed by what you said? Of course I am. All you have done is criticized something I am trying to create, but yet you have failed to achieve, let alone, attempt anything of that scale and level. It's like an ordinary rock calling a diamond hideous. Now I'm not saying you should be grateful for being booked for this show. However, kiddo, since you are still young and learning, is that you aren't gonna get no where if you let people keep polishing you and simply making the rock shinier. 

At the end, it's still a fuckin Rock. Character isn't built off the accolades and achievements. It's built from mistakes, being broken down, rejected, casted aside. And it's from the constant pressure of losing that allows one to truly shine. I say this with the most sincerity that you need to get off your high horse. If you need to remind everyone that you were the television champion, then you are just as stuck in the past as every single person that has told you the same ole same ole shit, and despite your supposed impressive track record of "beating everyone." Maybe, just maybe, that isn't doing the work you think it's doing. Sometimes, you need to change it up, try something different and move on, forward, anywhere that isn't behind you. That's all I've been doing. I don't "beat down" people, unless they deserve it. I fight for something that is a lot bigger than myself. At the end of the day, dominating become boring. You are boring, and you wonder why no one talks about your reign and why Fiora is fighting for a world title and why I have been able to accomplish what I have in such little time. It's called "charisma" and whether you want to believe it or not, you fell for it when you joined the Awakening. 

You probably will win, and I hope if this event is a success, it will lead to something for you, but it's not gonna take long before someone puts you at the center of the stage and realize just how one note you truly are. Face it, you're an angry man. You're mad that you did all the work you did and you are only at the position that you are in now. And here you are, telling the whole world, "I'm gonna go ahead and do this again" and hope things will turn out different. Hate to break it to you, but madness is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting something different. A Rock is still a Rock unless you choose to break the mold and who knows, maybe Noah Quinn can be the Gold Nugget or Diamond he believes he is meant to be, but until then, you are nothing more than an angry little chrome dome with pubes all over his face. 

Was that childish? Well, what can I say? Well, what can you say? I'm a "clown." But a clown that is actually going somewhere. Distances you will never reach, and heights you can never fathom. Futures that are only mere dreams and concepts to you that I will make a reality. I don't need to rig this match. I've already won, I'm winning! You are wrestling in something I booked! If the show is a success, I win, and just as confident as you are that you will win, I'm certain that Scorched Earth will be a hit and lead to bigger things. Perhaps you were right, it's sad that I'm making a big deal out of something you said, knowing that what I've managed to put together in such a short period of time is success, but again, I don't care to hear this from someone that can be so critical but so ignorant of the process to begin with. Perhaps I need to learn, and the amazing thing about my time in OWA has been, I've learned something everyday and have grown stronger than the day before. But sure, keep beating the dead horse and everyone that steps in the ring with you, and see how far that goes. It's just gonna grow stale, and loop back to the same angry little Noah Quinn complaining about his place in the business instead of doing something new and innovative. 

I hope you win too. I mean it, I hope you win too. Can't imagine how insufferable you'd be if you lost, but hey, when your a booking shows, dealing with difficult talents is just part of experience, and I'll be sure to learn to keep a tighter leash on them in the future should they want to act out of line. Thank you for this learning experience, I hope that you'll get something out of it at Scorched Earth. Good Luck.

We see Reginald Dampshaw III once again in his office sitting at his desk, but this time he is looking more relaxed with an almost smug grin on his face. He's holding a piece of paper in one hand.

Reginald Dampshaw III: It’s funny what having power can feel like. It’s also funny how when you’re the one who holds the power, it’s always everyone else trying to tell you it’s not real, or that you’re not really in control. People are so scared of others in control. 

Reginald points to the piece of paper in his hand.

Reginald Dampshaw III: Oh this? Just a contact. Jason Mavis-Long. Born 2/12/1996 in Wexford, Ireland. Exclusively signed to Kingdom for 365 days for a sum of...well, that would be rude of me to say, wouldn't it? But let's just say Mr. Long will be eating well for a while. And do you remember what I said to you when I handed you this contract, "Jason"? I told you you didn't deserve any of it, but what's best for business right? But you see, I could rip this up right now and…*poof*...no more Jason Long on Kingdom. Sure, there would be a lot of legal ramifications. Lawsuits, and all that, but if I really wanted to, I could send your scrawny ass back to Wexford.

Reginald pretends to rip up the contract a few times before laughing to himself.

Reginald Dampshaw III: No, "Jason". I won't do that. I won't for 2 reasons. One, because as I said before, you make me and Kingdom a lot of money. And two, I’m a big enough man to admit when me and someone even I despise agree on something. And “Jason”, you and I actually agree on a few things. We agree that the Spartan Championship should be defended on the main PPVs and not in some farce of an event like this that’s run by Shin-SEKAI Wrestling. It’s a disgrace. It’s a mockery. I don’t want to be involved with their disgusting nonsense either. The Spartan Championship is a marquee championship. It is a cornerstone of Kingdom and all of OWA for that matter. It could and probably should main event Boiling Point, and not curtain jerking this weeb nonsense.

Reginald shudders at the thought of having to return to Shin-SEKAI Wrestling.

Reginald Dampshaw III: Another thing we agree on is, yes, I *am* your boss and you better not forget that.

Reginald picks up the contract once more and raises his eyebrows.

Reginald Dampshaw III: I know respect is not something you’re big on, but you better have some respect for that at the very least. I’m not asking for you to like me, because I’ll never like you, but you better know your place. You’re the champion, yes. I can’t take that from you, but you seem to forget even though you’re the champion, it’s on *my* show. This isn’t your ring, son, and it never was. It’s mine and will be until I decide I no longer want to be General Manager. But we’re getting a bit hostile now, aren’t we? And tell me, do you really think me so cold and callous to get so personal to mention Savannah Sunshine in anything other than a professional capacity? She beat me and took my Tag Team Championship at Game Over. That’s no easy feat. No, I would never say anything bad about her. I would definitely never say that she’s a moron for being dumb enough to be in a relationship and I would definitely never say that she’s obviously embarrassed to be seen on screen with you.

Reginald chuckles and shakes his head.

Reginald Dampshaw III: I can already see you getting all hot and bothered there. Your Irish temper and cockiness could be your downfall. And listen, I’m not angry that you called me washed up. You might be right. But what happens if you *are* right and I *am* just a washed up, no threat shadow of myself….and you lose? Then you've been beaten by a washed up, has been. So what does that make you? That makes you a complete and utter fucking joke. 

Reginald places the contract back on the table and taps it, smirking.

Reginald Dampshaw III: One thing I’ve learned in life is that nothing can ever be a sure thing. So you along with everyone who thinks it’s a lock for you to beat me and retain the Spartan Championship, that’s fine. You can think it’s a forgone conclusion all you want. And you want a reason for me to be in this match? No, I won’t hide behind Shin-SEKAI or make excuses. You want a reason? I’m in this match because I’m Reginald Dampshaw the Goddamn Third, that’s why. I could wrestle in the pre-show, the middle of the card, the main event, for the Tag Team, Spartan, Outlaw orWorld Championship. I could be in any match in any capacity and no one has any leg to stand on to complain or question it. I may be General Manager, but I’m still one of the single greatest wrestlers this company has ever seen. And while I don’t want to walk down that dark, cold road again, if it's going to take killing you to take the Spartan Championship from you, well, you killed Kenny Drake so that's the least you deserve. 

Reginald turns his head away from the camera and closes his eyes.

Reginald Dampshaw III: One thing you said that really stood out to me is that I’m a liar for saying that I resigned myself to focus on my General Manager duties only to be wrestling you and to that, I say...Yes. I *am* a liar. Because the Time Lizard may be gone, but you should be smarter and remember, "Jason"....never trust a snake.

Reginald begins laughing as the camera faces to black.

To be honest, I'm not interested in any of you as an individual. Sure, we got 3 former Champions in JD Damon, Kevin Maverick, and Noah Quinn. We got….I guess a long hair guy in Jordan Jounouchi.

Ultimate X is always such a unique concept and I get to tell you that despite this being a good concept, what are we fighting for here, really? To just simply get momentum? To prove ourselves? To say the former Champs like Damon, Quinn, and Kevin Maverick that they are still worth it? To prove guys like myself and Jounouchi are the future of this business?

Some people would see it like that but I'm seeking a different answer. I'm trying to figure it out. The only way I'm seeing this match is the fact that I can break a lot of arms in this match. I have to do it, so they can't climb up to pick up the "X" sign.

Oh maybe this is secretly an OWA World Championship number one contender match because of the "X". Flattering but I don't have my hopes high.

Doesn't matter really. I'd like to break not just arms but also legs. Sounds like a good fucking time…..

Nakita DuBov: "Thank you Skylar Arceneaux, from the bottom of her heart, and to the utter depths and recesses of her very soul, The Nakita DuBov thanks you. She wishes to thank you for seeing her abilities and her talents. You have freed her from the miniscule offerings of Kevin Edward LeBrock and you have given her new purpose and new direction. You have helped her to evolve into the role as your problem solver and she will not let you down as Dorado Enterprises goes into Boiling Point 4, fully united and fully committed against the likes of Alyssa Grace, Devi Krysis, and NAMI. We will not let you down Skylar. She repeats, she will not fail you."


"Now, Skylar Arceneaux, as well as everyone else is probably wondering why The Nakita DuBov is now referring to herself in the third person. It is because as The Problem Solver, The Nakita DuBov is so fully committed and beset in her new role as The Problem Solver that she embraces that she is far more terrifying and menacing that she doesn't need to feel like a real person, but rather instead she embraces that she a weapon, the ultimate weapon, the device, the big red button that all Skylar Arceneaux needs to do is press it and The Problem Solver is unleashed into that match to utterly lay waste to every single person in your path. The Nakita DuBov is the wild card, the equalizer that you need that you seal our victory and secure you with the Ascension of the Heavens briefcase currently being held by one Alyssa Grace. With The Nakita DuBov by your side, in your corner, having your back, one hundred percent loyal to your cause and your goals, be mindful before you push the big red button that the consequences of those actions will have will be felt by all. The Problem Solver Nakita DuBov will not discriminate whatsoever and all will suffer at the hands of her Run N Gun. She is the smoking gun and Skylar Arceneaux is the one who wields it. You must be ready to what The Nakita DuBov gives you. Whether it is money, gold and glory, or dare she say it, immortality beyond all comprehension. The Nakita DuBov will grant you all these things and more. But know this Skylar Arceneaux, this will come as a price and it maybe more than even you are willing and able to pay. The Nakita DuBov hopes you will be most ready. The Nakita DuBov embraces this role as The Problem Solver with this monkey like paw disclaimer. Heed her words and feel them well, know this that the Nakita DuBov is committed to Dorado Enterprises at Boiling Point 4. Now are you ready? Can you dig that?"


"Now going into Boiling Point 4, The Nakita DuBov takes focus and aligns her scope on her following competitors, she takes aim and locks on like a heat seeking missile launched at her target."


"First, there is Devi Krysis, the Untamed Bloodwolf herself, the plucky lil conquering hero set to face the fires of hell that burn in front of her. My, my Devi, such rage, such anger. You have turned into quite the vulgar display of power since the last time we've crossed paths, reverting to name calling by calling Skylar a 'skank' and the rest of us 'sluts'. Name calling only best serves for those on the elementary play ground, or best suited for chick fights in the locker room while tossing tampons in the shower toward the freak whom just had her period.  But if it one thing that the Nakita DuBov cannot discount or discredit is that you have quite the undying will to never quit, and never surrender, and quite frankly it is rather tiresome to say the least, but if it one thing that the Nakita DuBov has said before, she will more than say it again to you. She will never grow tired of beating you down and if each time she takes picks you apart then all the merrier, that is how it shall be. Nakita DuBov thinks that Azurine was the smart one when she turned on you and joined us, but what fuels your rage is not that she turned on you. Nakita thinks that deep down Devi, she knows what you know and what sweet and Adorkable Azzy saw, and that is Nakita and Azzy were more of a team in the few short minutes of their brief union in that Battle Royal than you ever were during your entire run when you failed to capture the OWA World Tag Team Championship titles. She was the smart one and she did the wise move, the same wise move when Nakita dropped that tiny sack of crap Kevin LeBrock and joined the Dorado Enterprises, and the Nakita DuBov not only looking forward to adding another notch onto her belt of our ongoing storied rivalry, but the Problem Solver is also best advising you with with some free advice of her own sweet Devi. Be careful about the crooked road of vengeance that you are set foot upon because if you are not careful, you mind stray too far off of the path and wonder further than you should choose to go, and you may lose yourself in the woods. Revenge is never a straight line, and you may lose something far more than your once best friend, say like that pretty little LAW Lethal Sparks Championship title that you have been parading all over around LAW and OWA. All Skylar needs to do is say the word and you might just be seeing The Problem Solver on an episode of Lethal Ladies of Wrestling ready to take that Lethal Sparks Championship from you grasp. Anything can happen Devi, and the one who has Run and Gun'd you more than once could very well be the very person that takes that title right off of your shoulder and then it will be the Nakita DuBov that will be working both LAW and OWA. So be mindful of the road you are on because you may lose more than you are able to willing to. But one thing Nakita will say Devi, is that you and her have the potential to be the champions of this match for our respective sides and help steal the show, the only question is Devi will you rise and claim your mantle or just like Azzy, will she be right that you are the blame and was right to have turned her back on you? That is the question and the Problem Solver is the answer."


"Then there is NAMI, the golden queen, who chose her side and came to Devi's aide last week. The last time we faced off, was in the losing effort to claiming the number one contender spot in that Battle Royal for the OWA Openweight Championship title. Maybe you felt that this battle was more than your bitchy little ego or perhaps you needed to feel some resemblance to relevance in the OWA and wanted to dip into Skylar Arceneaux's kool-aide and just had had to get some of our sugar. Perhaps, you feel that you can somehow make an eventual move at docking yourself to the first of the line to Alyssa Grace after she successfully cashes in on her Ascension of the Heaven opportunity. Who knows, but can any really trust you to have their back Golden Queen? You don't stand a chance, not when Skylar Arceneaux is equipped the the strongest piece and mightiest piece of this puzzle that will bring the entire OWA to come crashing down all around them. Allow Nakita to be the spoiler of your hopes and dreams. She is going to run right through you. She sees many Run and Guns in your future followed by a very quick, decisive, and academic Armageddon It that will more than take you take you of this match, so when that happens Nami, do the smart thing, do the safe thing, and stay down, stay out of this match. Trust in the better part of valor and quit right then and there. Flight and don't fight. Self preservation if your best friend going into this match. Stay down and stay out of the way of Skylar Arceneaux and Dorado Enterprises."


"And then there is, last but certainly not least. the object of Skylar's affection, the holder of the Ascension of the Heavens contract herself, Alyssa Grace. You and Nakita have never had the opportunity to face off against one another, but make no mistake about it, she is looking very forward to getting off of the leash and unleashing utter hell upon you Alyssa. You went through hell to get that contract, but that is only a word compared to the reality that is awaiting you this Sunday at Boiling Point 4. You are coming into this match putting everything on the line and showing that you have more than what it takes to come out the other side smelling like the daisy in the fire. The Nakita DuBov is excited and hankering to take a decorated Alpha such as yourself, someone of your storied legacy and to put an true omega caliber stamped ending to your career. Skylar is right, the Ascension of the Heavens briefcase would be far better off with it in her possession. You are risking everything for that briefcase, and come Sunday, you will find out the hard way that the risk is not worth the reward for the future that is awaiting you Alyssa Grace. Your defeat will not only be filled with suffering and strife, but it will be met with blood and various broken bones. Hey, just think Alyssa, maybe you can be like that of Daisy Thrash and add comeback queen to your various list of accomplishments throughout your career, we will give you a couple of years to think it over. Enjoy the long and forced vacation, but just know that your Ascension of the Heavens briefcase will not go to waste and Skylar Arceneaux will put it to use, but there is just one problem with that comeback story and that Skylar will have The Nakita DuBov in her corner that will stop you before you even have a chance to get near her. Nakita is going to re-write the narrative and put a final stake in the career that is Alyssa Grace. Just you wait."


"So there you have it OWA. The weapon of mass destruction in all in for Boiling Point 4 and Skylar Arceneaux is holding the leash, the big red button is flashing and ready to be pushed and nothing will stand in the way of Dorado Enterprises. Nakita DuBov is coming to utterly crush and dismantle all that stand in our way and there is nothing that any of you can do to stand against us. She is the A-bomb that has dropped from the sky and is set to explode. There will be no survivors, and these scars will be felt upon the entire OWA forever. They will never forget what The Nakita DuBov does does here on Sunday. And now to give you all something that you can really DISLIKE."

Boiling Point II

There's a lot of tension right now for Boiling Point. People not only want to win the Omega Heavyweight Championship, but also to survive from The Wrath of The Gods. I've been thinking to myself, what do I have to do to win this match more than just "giving my all". I don't think that would be quite enough. It seems to me that we have to have a reason to survive. Of course everyone wants to win the Omega Heavyweight Championship or in Darkane's case, to retain it. But more than that. It wouldn't be enough to survive by giving my all to win the Omega Heavyweight Championship. I have to have a reason why I'm going after everyone in this match. We gotta do what we gotta do to survive and win the Omega Heavyweight Championship. I need to prove why I don't want to fail to win the Omega Heavyweight Championship again.

I have given some credit to you a few days ago, Darkane. Of course there are some "but" moments from me but….well I said it again, you actually know what all your opponents are capable of and hence why you're not only dangerous but also a genius. That's two deadly combinations that you're having and no wonder why you're the Omega Heavyweight Champion right now. There are almost no flaws in you. Of course you have lost some of the battles that you took….and you might lose at Boiling Point too but most of the time, you're always able to stay on the top. Wrath of The Gods Thunderdome stipulations give you countless advantages. As I said before, you're the walking target in this match but sometimes walking brings us back to ourselves. Sometimes walking together with friends in the dark is better than walking alone in the light. I mean, none of us are your friends, but what I'm trying to say is that you're obviously in your favourite playground right now and not only that, you're the champion. You're the master of this game. You're the architect of this structure. You're the devil of this scenario. You're the ruler of these rules. It's not going to be easy to dethrone you, Darkane. And yet, while you obviously insulted me, you still said that I'm capable of a big game and believable as a superhero and such. Well, maybe what you said is right and just like you said, sometimes good things must come to an end, and in my case, I have experienced it more than I can count. Lost my SSW World Championship after passing out, lost my Hybrid Championship in a clean manner, failed to win the Omega Heavyweight Championships on 3 previous occasions before this, and so on. Things weren't and probably aren't so good on my end. And you're right Darkane, I'd like to think that there is still tomorrow because while I have acknowledged that this match is dangerous, I have not only survived but also thrived in a lot of crazy matches. There is still a tomorrow for me because I don't want to miss a chance to live the tomorrow as the Omega Heavyweight Champion. This is still something I've been working on ever since I joined this promotion and yet, I always failed to do it. Of course, of course, if I happen to fail to win at Boiling Point, I'd be more than willing to work from the bottom again. Scratching up and climbing up is what I always do. I'm not tired with those because I always have the energy to prove myself and that's exactly what I did when I beat Devin Mitchell to prove that I know I belong in this match and quite frankly, I do feel a bit relieved to come off this match as a filler, Darkane. Actually, that is an advantage to me. You see, I don't have any problem with anyone. I do trash-talk but that's part of this business. I don't have any real problem with you and everybody else in this match while it's obvious that you want to tear Noah Reigner apart. To be fair, I don't think your personal hatred towards Reigner will blind your vision and motion to retain your Championship that is on your shoulders, but your hatred is a burden on your part. You're carrying hatred and vengeance. That's a lot of things that you need to get out of your system, and sure, you can do that to me if you get a chance to do so, but I'm going to this match with a clear mind and vision and that is beating you and 4 other men to become the Omega Heavyweight Champion. Oh and more thing, I'm indeed a Hollywood actor and I actually had a big role in the New Suicide Squad movie, do watch it if you have the time, Darkane. I would never do a porn movie but I know I will get a part if I do an audience because I'm sexy and I know it. But that's not the time as I don't care how I look going on for this match, because the only thing I care about is trying to dethrone you and 4 other men to win the Omega Heavyweight Champion. Doesn't matter if I'm not going to be pretty after this, because that Omega Heavyweight Championship is one pretty looking belt and I'm coming for it.

Darkane knows that I'm capable of a big game and speaking of big games, congratulations, you just mentioned that you have survived all kinds of dangerous matches, Mark Michaels. Well, do you want a lollipop or some candies? In all seriousness though, one thing that caught me is that you mentioned you've been in a lot of Elimination Chamber matches but I didn't hear the part where we both in one elimination chamber match together when I personally eliminated you. Not to mention, you were the second guy that got eliminated overall. I'll give you credit for managing to survive in a lot of violences matches if that's what you want, but can you really win this one? You never won in any Elimination Chamber matches that you participated in. You didn't win in The Flaming Tables match we both were in and that was when I won that match. You had an indirect help from Finnegan Wakefield in the Ironman match against me. You had a direct help from Harman Ardelean in the street fight match against Eon Blue. Yes, perhaps surviving is a thing for you but winning in a violence match? Seems a rare case for you. Oh by the way, the only reason why you held the Hybrid Championship for so long is because you never actually defended it before Final Destination 3. Yes, I didn't want to bring up this part but you said you were waiting for me and Noah to give our thoughts for this. Well, I know Noah did so it's my turn now. You were begging for your life in that match. You didn't want to get hurt. You were pissing on your pants. That is my 2 cents for the three on three match at Final Destination 3, Mark. So, let me modify my question for a bit. What makes you think you can win this match, Mark, when you were already begging for your life in normal circumstances? That's a bit rude from my part without answering your question first. What would make me winning the Omega Heavyweight Championship any better? Well, I already experienced how it felt as a World Champion, something you never experience in your life and career by the way. I know it was a different Championship but SSW and OWA share a lot of ring performers anyway, so I know I'll be a good Omega Heavyweight Champion. But on second thought, that's fine if you want to acknowledge the SSW Puroresu World Championship as the Olympus' main championship, because it goes without saying that you acknowledge me as a former Olympus World Champion, so thank you, Mark Michaels.

Now cool your jets, Ryo Sakazaki. I don't think it will be easy to walk over you. I never even said that. See? There is a difference why Darkane is a World Championship and not to mention, a few times World Champions and you haven't won one yet. Again, this isn't a way to underestimate you, but you have a lot to learn, young man, because you're eager to become something greater. Your anger is clouding your mind. Your anger is blinding your vision. Your anger makes you….stupid. Darkane does angry a lot but he isn't stupid because he doesn't let his anger to blind him but you, Ryo, your anger is just holding you back. I'm not thinking that you are someone that can be ignored easily, but now I'm warning you that your anger is not making you something greater. Of course I have won a lot of things here and there and sometimes, it does make me bitter, but I know how to use those feelings to make me greater than myself and not let me to address things that my opponents didn't say. I said it before that this is your chance to make an impact here, but I think you still need a bit more experience first. You want to be better than now so bad? Then watch and learn how the experienced ones do their work in this match, Ryo.

Now, I'm glad you addressed me, Noah Reigner and I'm happy to hear that you don't need my help. I already said to you that you wouldn't need it, so I guess we're going to play a lone wolf in this match aren't we? That's what I wanted to hear and that's what I expected from The Assault Rifle. You accomplished a lot of things in every company you've been in, Noah, and that's why I know you'll win the Omega Heavyweight Championship one day and Boiling Point can be that day, but I personally wouldn't let it happen. At least not yet. I said it before that if I wasn't in this match, I want you to win it the most out of all people in this match. I want you to win the Omega Heavyweight Championship as much as your biggest fans in the world, but the thing is, I worked my way to be in here and I have to try everything I can to win the Omega Heavyweight Championship and that's including stopping you, Reigner. You're right that I was unfortunately eliminated from the SSW Elimination Chamber match before I could even fight you, but now we have that chance and I would personally love to fight you one on one because the chance of it, as you said, is a big possibility. I know how tough and rough you are and I know how much of the fight you have inside you. I'm flattered that you said I'm a bigger threat than Eon, Mark, and Ryo combined and I'm happy that you said you considered me in the same class as you and Darkane for winning the SSW Puroresu World Heavyweight Championship. But here's the thing, I know I proved my worth by beating 29 other men and 2 out of those men were you and Darkane, but….when you think about it, I didn't really beat you and Darkane, did I? That kinda pissed me off actually. Not because I hate you or Darkane for that matter, but I want to answer your thoughts and I want to believe it that I am indeed on the same level as you and Darkane and probably better than you both. Now I have the opportunity to do it in this match so I have no reason to not stop you. I have to go all out in this match and this is also to show my respect to you, Reigner, to give my all. Now I know you don't want me to try to stop you but you won't mind giving me a Kill Shot either, so I want to show you that your Kill Shot won't knock me down that easily. I'll make this easier for you. If you don't pull that trigger on me, how can you be so sure that I won't be coming after you, Reigner? How can you be so sure about that? But do you believe that one Kill Shot is enough to put me down? You said it yourself that I'm probably the hardest worker on the roster which I appreciate, so therefore, one Kill Shot won't stop me that easily. You can try to knock me out but for sure you won't put me down. You have to do it more than once if you want. Trust me, I know this is all business and I already said that, so I do want you to give me your all, Reigner. Don't be hesitant. I know your hatred towards Darkane and your respect towards me won't cloud your mind, so I can expect the best from you. I wouldn't take the fans' thoughts as gospel but I do want to answer their hopes. I have let them down more times than I can count and there is a big chance, I would let them down again at Boiling Point, but please hear me out, Reigner, If you happen to win the Omega Heavyweight Championship, I won't be shy because I know how great you are. I would even be happy to shake your hands and hug you and say "Congrats bro". But if I happen to win, can you do that to me? Can you even see me in the eyes and shake my hands, Reigner? I'm waiting for your answer for this one and let's see how you respond.

It seems that Eon Blue is…..well, just saying things that he wanted to say and I'm actually glad that he didn't mention my name. I don't know if he underestimates me or he just doesn't care about me at all, but that's a good thing because I don't have to deal with some nonsense stuff. Though I have to say it, Eon Blue is really changing and I can't take this man lightly. If I had to do some barbaric actions towards this guy in The Wrath of The Gods Thunderdome match, I certainly will.

Taking the Omega Heavyweight Championship away from Darkane. To prove it to Noah Reigner that I can't be taken down that easily. To demonstrate it to Ryo Sakazaki how a veteran works. To...well give an Attitude Adjustment to Mark Michaels. To prove it, Eon Blue isn't safe from me. I have every single reason to take down all my opponents to become the Omega Heavyweight Champion.

Enter the fool’s bliss in ignorance.

Lo and behold from the void of obscurity and the den of self-doubt, Savannah Sunshine reveals her face to the world under the light of the sun. She decides that after a month of silence and reclusive isolation, she not only had decided to run down to save her little partner Myojin she has been letting carry the brunt of the load in being OWA World Tag Team Champions, but to run her mouth about so much that she has no fucking idea about. Isolation has given you the privilege of ignorance to speak the words that you have decided to utter out into the world, but that doesn’t make you correct in your estimation of how events will unfold at Boiling Point when you’re forced to put those trophies up on the line. Don’t worry about having to go back and roll back the footage to be able to retract the statements you’ve made or be so confident to double down on them because the truth is, I’m about to expose you for what you are. You’re fickle, you’re selfish, you’re overconfident and you overvalue yourself as a wrestler because to be quite honest with you, you don’t belong in the same league as your partner Myojin, let alone Matt Miles and me. Why? It’s because whenever someone breaks underneath the armor that you’ve forged to protect you from all the threats around you in this wrestling industry, you break down and fall into hysteria to the point of vanishing from the face of the Earth. One moment, you believe that the world is your oyster that you can do whatever you desire in becoming a champion or wrestling at your very best, but in the blink of an eye, you’ve become like a turtle and crawled back into your shell to hide from those that want to harm you. But did you actually have something of value to say when you spoke your mind? Did you actually make some observation that no one else in this business has already made in the past? No. You regurgitated every insult, every criticism, and every iota of slander that we’ve been given for over a year since we returned to OWA and provided no value to the conversation. Hell, you even regurgitated what your partner said and it makes me think if you don’t have a person shoving their hand up your ass to make you the next Muppet. That’s why those titles you hold with so much pride, they need to be taken away from you because you don’t build the prestige of that championship with the words you speak, you tarnish it because you’re too busy wrapped around your own self-indulgent bubble of isolation to look outside and see what people are actually doing. However, since you decided to speak your mind because you think you’re this special independent woman with the heart and soul to pull off an upset in your career, I’m going to be the one alongside Matt Miles to turn this turtle into soup by boiling her ass alive in front of the world. Maybe after that, you’ll run back to whatever hole you crawled out of and stay there.

You were disappointed within the first mention of The Dynasty, Savannah. Why? You failed to understand the purpose of The Dynasty and instead, decided to lump us up with every other faction that has come before us. Your ignorance has decided to give you this notion that we are the villains of this promotion that are so slimy and vile, we would turn against each other at the moment’s notice for the opportunity to gain power and position at the other person’s expense. She must have spent the past few months in isolation too because she must not have watched where I denied myself an opportunity to challenge the Omega Heavyweight Championship because my brother within The Dynasty, Darkane, is the current champion. This bimbo must have decided to cross that out of her memory in seeing that I had to jump through hoops within this company to earn that title shot, showing up exclusively on Kingdom for weeks to allow the other members of The Dynasty to have their moment on Olympus, all in the name of preventing treachery within The Dynasty that you believe we’re so easy to fall into. Ignorance is definitely the bliss of the fool because you have been blind to the effort that not only my brothers in our alliance have taken to do that, but myself included. The Dynasty is on a path of restoring prestige and class when they have been left out of the equation of this promotion for years since my original retirement. Everything has been about the here and now, the deception and the corruption that has led to many people who decided to take that title and tarnish it until they were taken away, walking away from building that prestige and class to the business. Before Darkane became the Omega Heavyweight Champion, what was the last Omega Heavyweight Champion you could say you were proud of? Nathan Fiora? The Derelict? Bull Connors? Gareth Cason? What about the new championship that was established in The Hybrid Championship? There was nothing hybrid about that championship with losers like Mark Michaels and Nobi as former champions, with Elijah Hampton able to do what needed to be done in bringing birth to The Prestige Championship. All of us have been focused on the development of prestige and class in this business and simply because we are able to do whatever it takes necessary to complete this crusade, so treachery is not a part of our brotherhood and we have never shown the signs. We’ve shown the exact opposite about it, so don’t get it twisted that you’re about to see Matt Miles or Jacob Senn stab the other in the back any time soon.

I’ve known Matt Miles from the mere infancy of his career for a large portion of my career. I’ve seen his rise to the mid-card division, I’ve seen his potential that was discarded by those in power in other promotions because they didn’t see the ability that he had to become a star in this industry, and that’s why I wanted him in The Dynasty in the first place because he can bring prestige and class to any trophy that he can claim to himself. He simply was never given the opportunity to showcase those talents that had been kept locked away, never given the opportunity to show what he can be as a champion, and he was tired of seeing the disrespect that the people who achieved that feat such as myself and watching the prestige and class we brought to this sport be degraded into nothing. That’s why he joined The Phantom Troupe and months later, continued to support the crusade of prestige within The Dynasty, and we have been brothers-in-arms ever since I returned to OWA over a year ago now. This perception that you have developed this amazing partnership with Myojin over the course of a couple months is greater than a brotherhood that has been born from years of kinship and knowledge of one another, it will be part of your downfall from keeping those OWA World Tag Team Championships in your possession. That’s the difference between The Dynasty and Team Starburst in this match, Savannah. Team Starburst is a random team that was simply born out of shoving two people together to be able to get a challenger for the OWA World Tag Team Championships and only have been together for a couple months to believe they have the chemistry to keep those titles in what was a fluke win. Matt Miles and me? We have been in a brotherhood for over a year to know each other better than any other person within this roster, we have the ability to adapt to our different styles because we have watched each other and been in the ring with each other for years on end, and we deserve to be able to hold those titles in order to restore the prestige lacking from them since we’re not a random team of nobodies made to make the tag team division seem interesting. The truth is that you don’t compare to us as what a champion should be because while you stand there as the charity cases to represent the tag teams of this promotion, we will prove that we’re the example that every other potential team should be.

Your pride won’t let you admit that without some proper evidence to support, but you don’t have to look any further than to the resume and reputation that not only I have accomplished and gained in this business, but my brother in The Dynasty has in this business also with Matt Miles going around the world to create his own legacy to show for it. We are miles ahead of Myojin you in terms of expertise, experience, and ability in this sport. Even at the greatest moments in your collective careers that you have to call back upon to tell the world exactly the type of wrestler and fighter you can be within these ropes, it pales in comparison to what we can do and have done with the history we have documented. Even with all the things that I’ve just stated about our talents in comparison to Team Starburst, Savannah wants to tell the world she’s not at her best and STILL believes at probably her worst, she thinks she will be able to defeat us at Boiling Point? I’ve got to hand it to you, honestly. Overconfidence and arrogance such as that will definitely be the Achilles heel I intend for both of us to focus on in our match now, so thanks for revealing the chip in your armor on that one. I mean, you’re talking about all of these things about what you are and what you can bring to the table in this match, but then you’re going to admit in front of everyone and their mother that you’re not at your best here recently. You could be a force to be reckoned with when you’re at your best, a miraculous upset machine that could shock the world and audience in attendance, but you yourself said that you’re not at your best and you will be exposed. I could go on to say you’re probably at your worst, so don’t get it twisted. Boiling Point, your reign has come to an end and I put all the blame on your shoulders. Myojin has been carrying this team that the both of you have made together in order to be relevant in this company, but you? You’re the anchor that’s dragging him down into the murky abyss with you of obscurity to be forgotten about and never remembered for their talent. In all actuality, you should be ashamed of holding down someone from reaching their full prestige and class here in this industry. However, I can already hear everyone telling me that why should I judge you for not being at your best when I’m not at my best. I’ve lost the OWA World Championship opportunity I earned, I haven’t won a championship since I was the SSW Intercontinental Champion in 2020, and the only major moments I’ve had have been part of The Dynasty. What you and the rest of the people realize is that I don’t crawl in a hole when I’m dealing with failure and challenges, I run through those situations until success is found. Look at the tag team championships, for example. I have defeated two world-class athletes, former world champions, and multiple time tag team champions when I wasn’t at my best and teaming with a man that I hated more than anyone on this planet to achieve that feat with, so imagine what I could do when I’m teaming with not only someone that I like and get along with, but a friend and ally that has been made with his time in The Dynasty. I’ll tell you what it means. It means the end of your reign with Myojin as tag team champions and the beginning of restoring prestige in the OWA World Tag Team Championships.

You can make whatever excuses you wish to make, Savannah Sunshine. You can stand behind your partner in his poor decision in standing beside you for a fluke title win at Game Over, you can dance around with different excuses for why you’re a failure of a partner, you can keep hyping yourself as something you’re not because your heart and passion has shown to not be able to withstand what we can do to you. Everything that you’ve said has simply been the admittance of ignorance on what The Dynasty has been all about for over a year, no matter what our name was, so you know what? The Dynasty will make you experience firsthand that we’re not about simple underhanded tactics and tarnishing championships of their luster of prestige, we’re going to show you exactly what makes us the greatest brotherhood in wrestling you’ve ever seen.

Boiling Point, it all ends for Team Starburst, with your dreams of remaining champions bursting right before your eyes.

We are taken into Reginald Dampshaw III’s office as we see Reginald slumped in his chair, tie undone, hair out of place. His eyes have bags under them and he fidgets like a person who is both exhausted but also hasn’t slept. He notices the camera and just scoffs.

Reginald Dampshaw III: I… should be happy. I should be elated. I’m wrestling again at Atlantis: Scorched Earth 2. That’s all I’ve ever wanted to do. And what’s more, I’m wrestling for a chance to reclaim my OWA Spartan Championship. This is all I’ve ever wanted. I should be happy...but I can’t be. Demis...He’s with Him. I saw it. You all saw it. Wrestleworld. He has Demis with him. I could feel it for a while now. I knew Demis didn’t just leave for no reason. He’s too loyal, too much of a good soldier to abandon me like that. I knew something must have been pulling him away, but I never thought in my deepest darkest nightmares that it would be Him…

Reginald sits up and shakes his head. We can see tears welling up in eyes before he sniffs and becomes angry.

Reginald Dampshaw III: It makes me sick. I feel like my heart has been ripped out of my chest. I understand, I haven’t been the Reginald of old for a long time. I haven’t been the vicious, technical savant that I was a few years ago in my 20’s. I’ve lost a step, I know this, but it takes a strong man to be able to admit when he isn’t as strong as he once was. But the thing is, my physical strength hasn’t weakened. My technical skills haven’t receded and my ring IQ hasn’t faltered. I am still the same wrestler, I just have been down the path of brutality and I’ve come out the other side. The darkness was going to swallow me whole and trap me forever. I couldn’t go down that path anymore. So Demis has left me because I let that darkness go? Fine. I can handle that. I've had more people in my life leave me than I can count, but...but to go to Him? That I just can't handle. I told myself I would never forgive Him for what he put me through but even I didn't think He would stoop *this* low.

Reginald stands up from his chair. He looks around, almost speechless.

Reginald Dampshaw III: Speaking of forgiveness, I can't forget about my opponent at Scorched Earth 2. Maverick. Or Mav. Or Jason Long. Whatever you want to call yourself these days. As General Manager and a businessman, I'm very proud of you as Spartan Champion. You've done good business for Kingdom. Ratings go up when you're on TV, PPV buys are above expectation when you defend the belt and your merchandise flys off the shelves. You are a great representative of the Spartan division. Now that's on a business standpoint. On a personal level? I think you're a little prick. Now, I know people may think it might be a cultural thing. England vs. Ireland? It writes itself, but it goes deeper than that. Tell me, if I asked you if you thought I looked stupid, I'd know your answer but really. Do you think me a fool? Do you think you can just change your name and be absolved from the things you've done? You may have all the fans charmed but I can see through all of the bullshit. To me? You're still Havoc's little errand boy. 

Reginald points his finger towards the camera and smirks.

Reginald Dampshaw III: And he can parade around here as "Christopher Sabertooth" all he wants. I'm never going to forget or forgive what you all did. Could I book myself in match after match against Christopher and beat him over and over again? Sure, but that wouldn't be very professional of me. But here we are. With Christopher cavorting like some little child with Fiora, Knight and Abholos long gone and Udy most likely going to be murdered by Miltiades at Boiling Point, it looks like it's only you left, "Jason", and I’ve been wanting my Spartan Championship back ever since I lost it, so let’s consider this killing two birds with one stone, shall we? You haven’t atoned for your sins, boy. You left Havoc’s side and then what, became champion? Sounds like a hefty privilege to me. I don’t believe you’ve learned anything. I don’t believe you’ve sacrificed enough. You see, if you asked me 5 years ago, I would have told you if you have a big enough name, enough pull, then you deserve anything you want, but now? Now I think you need to earn your keep and you earn your keep through sacrifice. Some people see sacrifice as simply paying your dues, sweating, maybe shedding a little blood on the way. But I see sacrifice as deep physical and mental anguish. You have to come out a completely different person. And you tell us you are, but I can see in your eyes that it’s all games. So what, did Abholos blow some smoke in your face, make you see some scary visions and then you “saw the light”? Please. I’ve been on the receiving end of a few Abholos smoke tricks and while the visions he brought were disturbing, they were no scarier than the things I see in my dreams. No, you haven’t changed. Not at all. What you need is you need to lose. You need to lose everything. You need to know what it’s like to have your greatest possession ripped away from you before you made your mark with it. To be left with absolutely nothing. No allies, no championship, nothing. You may have felt that way coming out of Final Destination III, but you had the fans on your side. You still had *something*. I remember right after FDIII you said something that stuck with me. You said that you were finally “free from the shackles” of the Ashes. Very poetic. Very flowery. Sounds like something that even I would come up with, but it’s nonsense. You haven’t lost enough, boy.

Reginald’s look towards the camera is one of determination and extreme seriousness. He lets the words hang in the air for a few moments before continuing.


Reginald Dampshaw III: I only come into my matches now with good intentions. Truly. I see you’re still in pain. You can hide it behind your bravado and smart-ass nature, but I know that’s just a deflection. It’s just a wall you’ve put up with the Spartan Championship as it’s foundation. Once the championship is removed, the entire wall crumbles, and we’re left with just Jason Long the man. Not this Jason Long you’re portraying like a circus clown, but the real Jason Mavis-Long, vulnerable, afraid and alone. Then, the real atonement can begin.

Reginald puts his hands in the air and has an almost sarcastic smirk on his face.

Reginald Dampshaw III: I truly have nothing now. I’m not going to bore you with the cliches of the man with nothing left to lose, but I have an opportunity to get my wrestling career back on track. You’ve made great defenses so far, “Jason” and your triumph in the Dark Kingdom Tournament was truly inspiring. I’m sure you had great things planned for your reign, but this is where it comes to an end, I’m afraid. It seems people may have forgotten what I can do in the ring, and while I shouldn’t have let it get to that point, let the last time I walked into Shin-SEKAI Wrestling be a lesson to everyone who says I lost a step. I am still and will forever be Reginald Dampshaw III, third born to my name, God-given talent and strength, lest anyone, especially you, forget that. I know you’re going to come at me full swing, full of piss and vinegar with that sailor’s mouth and I know I’m going to look you in the eyes and see that you’re no different than before Final Destination. You’re still that Ashes goon that you always were. But Jason, Maverick, Mav. Listen to me. When the earth is scorched, all that’s left are ashes. And it’s going to be me that cleans it all up.

Reginald waves off the camera as he slumps back down in his chair and sighs. Before the camera fades, we can see on his computer a still image from Wrestleworld where we see the drawing with the words “DEMIS POLYMEROS” scrawled across it.

Somewhere Over the Atlantic.





Stephanie lifted her sleep mask and found herself staring out at the clear blue sky. She and Samantha were on a private flight to Kansas City for Wrestleworld, just days before its Violent Ends event. She was scheduled to face Silver Starlet and Carlos Rosso-protege Emmanuelle in a grudge match. She hoped that this would make for good training against Jonetta for their world title match a week later. From the moment Matsuda arrived on Odyssey, she succeeded in each of her goals. Now, she was just one step from realizing her sixth world championship. Her schedule was about to get busy again. Rumor has it that her third PWN title defense was going to be against her dear friend Nobi, while opportunities have opened for her other obligations. But as far as Matsuda was concerned, there was only one thing she was concerned with was winning the OWA Women’s World Championship. Jonetta and the Dollhouse incurred the wrath of the Queen of Fighters, prompting the reunion of the Queens of Wrestling, something that nobody - not even Steph herself - thought would happen. While Azumi accepted her invitation to show up on Odyssey, she was unsure where Aria stood. She was fortunate that she was able to help Aria see how out of control Odyssey was becoming. This was something that started long before The Queen’s arrival. This was just leftover drama from Viola’s reign as general manager and now it was Aria’s job to clean after her. After last week’s Odyssey, Stephanie promised ‘Ria that as her champion she’d stand by her side as they changed the culture of women’s wrestling...for a second time.

Stephanie looked over at Samantha Garza who was already awake, listening to music with her AirPods. When she saw that her client was awake, Sam paused the music she was listening to.

“Where are we?” She asked.

“Somewhere over the Atlantic. Don’t fret, though. We’ll be in Kansas City in just a few hours.”

“So this whole Wrestleworld thing. Why the hell did Jaywalker buy an island in the middle of nowhere?”

A smile crept upon Stephanie’s face as she glanced back to the window.

“Branding.”

A defeated chuckle slipped out Sam’s mouth as she leaned back in her seat.

“It is the business,” she said, sighing to herself. “I take it we’re flying back to South Africa afterward?”

Stephanie nodded. She wanted to be ready to capture the OWA Women’s Championship. She was debating whether or not she wanted to compete at Violent Ends, but Emmanuelle called her legacy into question. It was Matsuda’s job to protect it at all cost. She wasn’t the only wolf at her door. The Dollhouse and the majority of the Odyssey roster assumed she wasn’t the real deal. Hmph, they would soon know and understand who the fuck she was. And if she had to manipulate a Queens reunion, then so be it. As much as she loved Aria, it didn’t take much to get her going. That’s how she was able to finagle a title shot out of her two years ago. Like what Emmanuelle did to her, she just had to call ‘Ria’s legitimacy into question. As for Azumi, she was already carrying the guilt for getting her fired from SSW. And there was their shared history. Now, the three of them were about to walk into Boiling Point reunited and focus on establishing Stephanie’s legacy in OWA. Each of them won a world title in the company, and now it was The Queen of Fighters’ turn. 

“What’s your game plan?” asked Sam. “Against Jonetta? Wasn’t she a student of Jaywalker’s Grotto?”

“Yep. But she’s not the only one. Last year I beat Renee Jonae for the WWH Women’s World Championship. This time it’s just going to be like a wash, rinse, and repeat with a different color palette. I trust Aria and Azumi to watch my back, especially since one of them is the boss. Aria knows what’s good for business. “

“You think she’ll screw over one of her talents just to put a belt on a friend?” 

A dark smile appeared on Cloud’s face as her hand slid along the window.

“You think I’m ruthless? I don’t have shit on ‘Ria when she’s grimey. She’s a better person than me, but hell hath no fury like a good person whose heart goes black.”

“Good to know. And Azumi?”

Stephanie was silent as she closed her eyes for a moment. She didn’t need to think twice about where The Celestial Queen’s loyalties lie.

“Azumi would sell her own soul for my happiness.”

“What makes you think that?”

Stephanie placed her sleep mask back on.

“Why do you think I was JET Champion for a year? How do you think I was able to beat the best of the best? With ‘Ria and ‘Zumi by my side, I’m fucking invincible.”


Kansas City, MO.






The camera opens in Stephanie’s hotel room. She was enjoying a glass of wine in silence as she was dressed in one of the hotel’s bathrobes. Her hair was tied back, but it was a noticeable difference in hair color, as it was purple instead of its usual blue. For the first minute of the Livestream, The Queen of Fighters remained silent as she contemplated her words. Soon after, she finally decided to speak.

“I didn’t know how I was going to approach this. To be honest Jonetta, you weren't even on my radar when I joined Odyssey full-time. Even when you became Women’s World Champion I slept soundly at night, knowing that you wouldn't be a problem when it was time for me to ascend to the throne of OWA’s Pink Brand. And you know what? I just confirmed those feelings last Saturday. Just like at Pluto’s Gate I came close to soloing the entire Dollhouse. While your numbers finally were able to put me down, the fact that I was a problem for the three of you, a team that consists of a former 547-day world champion, multiple tag team champions and the current OWA Women’s Champion says a lot about the state of women’s wrestling these days. Roxy couldn’t stop me from becoming PWN World Champion, a belt I still hold to this day. What makes you think she’ll save you for your fate, Jonetta? And DiVa? She’s non-existent without The Dollhouse. Meanwhile, you look on the other side of the table. You have Azumi Goto, the Queen of the Celestials. She’s held the belt you currently wear around your waist. She’s the current SSW Heritage Champion- a belt she defended against me and Aria for. She’s not new to tag goals, nor to tournament wins. Then, you have The Queen of OWA, the freaking GOD of SSW, Aria Jaxon. Countless titles across the board, two of those were tag belts with yours truly. Speaking of which, you have me. I don’t need any introduction, the OWA Universe knows what I bring to the table. I’m a high-value woman of the highest order, the type to make a Kevin Samuels-type blush like a fucking schoolgirl. I don’t need a stable to define my legacy, but since you brought your homegirls Jonetta, I decided to bring mine.”

Stephanie took a sip of her wine before continuing.

“Speaking of alliances, I took a look at your career. It’s almost like your entire career was defined by other people. Now, in the beginning, I get it. You were a standout athlete who caught the attention of Jaywalker. He brought you into his Grotto, where you got to train with the best and became a standout talent. From there you were introduced to the Dollhouse where Jaywalker used his connections to bring you into the HiVe and therefore appear on OWA television. It’s almost like everything has been set up for you to be where you are. Where I come from, we call that an industry plant. That’s what you are, sweets. Someone who’s been molded to carry on the legacy of others. Someone like that isn’t fit to lead Odyssey into the future. You’re just a transitional champion, a Christmas ornament made to look nice until the holiday season is over. I’m the New Year’s Baby meant to usher in a new era. Hell, just ask your friend Jonae. Wait, she left WWH. I gave her a chance at immortality but instead of seeing out, she’s throwing it away. Just like how you’re throwing yours away by standing in my way.”

Stephanie let the wine swirl in her hand for a moment before continuing.

"I didn't want this to be personal, but you forced my hand, sweets. Many of my actions are based on a business mindset, but you couldn't help yourself, can you? One successful main event on Game Over and you think you're running this shit. No disrespect to Revy, but she wasn't in no condition to stand toe-to-toe with you. She was in grief and thought that equals strength, but that's not always the case. Revy lacks the discipline to weaponize pain and sharpen it into a sword that can cut through anything. You're a huntress, Jonetta. You understand exactly where I'm coming from. To capture the right game you need the right weapon, and for you sweets, I have just the thing. Experience."

Stephanie takes another sip.

"I'm not talking about in-ring experience, but rather experience against those trained under the Jaywalker system. I know your strengths, your weaknesses, your training regimen, etc. You were trained by the best, yes, but like your mentor, I'm a teacher myself. When we enter that ring sweets, it won't be as equals. And when I rock your Barbie face with that first strike or I throw your ragdoll ass down with that first throw, you'll know and understand exactly where I'm coming from. Wrestling is only as complex as you want it to be, and with the likes of you, finding victory won't be all that hard. You're a creature with limited imagination, consumed by your immediate concerns. Typical of Odyssey's current talent. A couple of lucky wins doesn't make you into a certified GOAT. A focused mind and an iron will see your goals through are what separates the strong from the meek. I've taken my Ls here and their sweets and in fact, it's the lessons I've learned from my defeats that contribute to my victories."


"If there's anything the Queens of Wrestling share is that we each had a down point in our careers. For Ria and I it was when we abandoned our previous Women's World Championship at our old place of employment and wandered around looking for a place to call our own. For Azumi, it was when she lost the OWA Women's World Championship. But no matter how hard we fell we always found a way to get back on our feet. We each had our eyes opened to what's important. The future of this business is for women like us. You see Jonetta, you're not fit to lead because not only do you stab everyone in the back, but you don't know what it's like to lose. You don't know what it means to grow and evolve. All you know is consumption and vice. You hunt endangered animals for a living! There's nothing about you that's relatable to those who wish to be where we are! You don't create, Jonetta. You don't inspire, you only colonize and destroy. Then you indoctrinate the weak into thinking they need you more than you need them."

Stephanie shakes her head in shame 

"You're just as flaccid as the old wealthy fat cats you hunt with. People like you are cancer to this world and your career is cancer to this business. I'm no hero, but my actions have been about setting things right after I influenced this brand to go in the wrong direction. Even Sam regrets relying on you three back in the first season. You could say admitting our wrongs is what brought us together. And no matter what people think of what I did to Natalie Cage and how I won this title shot, my intentions have always been pure and transparent. I'm here to save Odyssey from itself, from the likes of The Dollhouse. Hell, I knew it was only a matter of time before you bozos were reunited under Jonetta's reign. You're like an infection that won't go away, a trio of roaches capable of surviving even the worst of apocalypses. Luckily for me, I'm good at exterminating insects, particularly blonde ones."

Stephanie smiled as she took another sip from her glass.

"And what a place to sentence The Dollhouse to its doom. South Africa, the home of Nelson Mandela and a revolution that overcame years of apartheid. This must be a blessing from the gods because I get to knock around the poster child of privilege before an audience of people who were once marginalized in their own country. I never thought of myself as an activist but when I walk into that ring it'll be with the souls of Nelson, Huey, and Malcolm. I'll have the strength of Shaka and the clarity of Martin. The perseverance of Simon Nkoli and the inspiration of Mama Africa herself, Miriam Makeba. The biggest problem with you Jonetta is that nobody has ever given you a proper ass whooping. I'm not talking about a simple in-ring defeat, but a real eye-opening, Boondocks-level beatdown. I'm talking about the end of Juice-level ass-whooping, the kind mothers would give when their kids were out of line."

Stephanie pushed aside her drink and stood up. She slowly walked towards the camera while twirling the tie of her bathrobe. 

"Yes, Jonetta. Come this weekend think of me as your mama because I'm going to give you the overdue discipline you oh so deserve. Your entire existence is offensive to every proper person and creature on this planet and I'd love to send you back to Moose country. Oh, and when you do get back to the Great "White" North, tell your Blackface loving prime minister Cloudy said what up."

Stephanie leans towards the camera.

"And one more thing. Tell the church to own up to killing those indigenous kids. It's not a good look, sweets."

The stream abruptly ends.

As the strength of The Dynasty continues to build, the prestige of this company continues to rise to the peak that it has failed to since the days of its inception.

Being the architect of this faction that has continued to strive for the prestige of this business, I have led this brotherhood of men who have felt slighted and disgraced from the business that they have made their life and created them into the men that demand respect and carry prestige with every step they take. Darkane has become one of the most feared and prestigious champions to ever hold a world championship in this company with The Dynasty standing beside him. Darkane had been cast aside by most companies, overlooked and overshadowed by those who didn’t deserve to even stand in the ring with him, being crowned the champion he should have been crowned elsewhere and restore the prestige that was tarnished by false champions who should have never been crowned Omega Heavyweight Champion, to begin with. Elijah Hampton had watched the direction The Blacklist had been walking down, stared at the shameful disgrace of the Hybrid Championship that had been claimed by him, and with The Dynasty was able to bring birth to The Prestige Championship. A championship to be proud to carry around his waist or on his shoulder, a championship that represents the very value that The Dynasty is attempting to restore within a company that has forgotten about this quality needed for the success it craves, and we have supported his claim to this championship after he made it very known that our purpose was aligned. Big Naheem has become a force to be reckoned with in the sense of being an engine of destruction for those who would dare cross The Dynasty and disrespect us further. He has carried himself with the prestige and respect that we have desired from every brother within our fellowship in The Dynasty and he has supported not just its head in me, but every person that has needed him to stand by their side and rush out to assist whenever merited. Let us not forget about the person that has been destined for greatness in my tag team partner and the future of The Dynasty when the eventual time comes when Darkane’s days in the spotlight have been ended by the hand of cruel fate, Matt Miles. Miles has been the epitome of what a person should be within this company and in the same token as myself, we have both decided to take our own personal desires of being world champion and placed them aside here on Olympus for our brother-in-arms Darkane to be the crown jewel he should be for this alliance. Instead, he has decided to stand alongside me as I intend to lead from the background and create more value, more merit, and greater prestige in The Dynasty with both of us claiming the OWA World Tag Team Championships from the disgraceful team that stands today as your current champions: Team Starburst. Instead of being a man of selfish desires to snatch the opportunity of world champion from my brother Darkane, instead of forcing Miles to sit on the sidelines and be forced to watch all of those around him capture championship glory, I have decided to take action as the leader of this brotherhood to join forces with him to take those championships that have been polluted with the stain of three former teams that have held that title and rechristen it into the same prestige that The Queens of Wrestling once steeped those belts in. On the path of reconstruction to the trophies that have been tarnished for far too long in the control of those who will not fall under the rule of The Dynasty, the OWA World Tag Team Championship will be placed in our control when we defeat the shameful excuses of champions that we have today.

Team Starburst: Myojin and Savannah Sunshine. These are the two people that intend to stand in the path of progress to restore the prestige that should be carried with those titles that they carry around as mere props to make them believe that they are people that have respect from those around them. Savannah is already a documented case of failure and disappointment that should be scratched out from history and forgotten about, discarded, and forgotten as the years pass her by, but Myojin? Myojin is someone that most would probably have never expected to sink so low, drown into the depths of obscurity as part of the tag team champions, what have you become? There was potential inside of you and a future to make yourself a prominent figure in the company and what did you decide to do with all of that potential that you had within you? The talent, the ability, the raw charisma that you had within your soul? Squandered it with a tag team with Savannah Sunshine that no matter what you want to say about how you two won those tag team titles, she hasn’t been able to hold her end of the bargain when it comes to performing inside of that ring. There hasn’t been a showcase of talent that has stunned us and left us at the edge of our seats with those tag team titles with either of you holding them, there hasn’t been an opportunity to see the tag team division shine underneath a large spotlight to capture the prestige it deserves to have, but there has only been a mediocre duo that has failed to capture the attention of the audience to be nothing but a performance that people have decided to doze off on whenever they hear Team Starburst is about to appear on the show. A whimper of sadness, a sigh of disappointment, a scream of anger, all of these are what you bring to the table when the both of you decide to walk down that ramp, but it used to be different for you, Myojin. You used to bring curiosity to those who were in the audience, leave them with an expression of awe at what you were able to accomplish within those ropes, and that’s what I want to see when Boiling Point arrives. What have either of you done with those tag team championships since you claimed them from The Council? What has been the very thing that the both of you accomplished to make sure you made those titles better than when you left them? The only thing you’ve done is take those titles and allow this business to make a tag team force in The Dynasty with myself and Matt Miles to break the both of you where you stand, crush you beneath our boots, and defeat you at Boiling Point to become the newly-crowned OWA World Tag Team Champions! The Dynasty has already shown how we can make titles prestigious in this business, we even brought forth a championship that carries the name of Prestige Championship, and we will make sure to continue that tradition with the OWA World Tag Team Championships! You can state that we don’t have the originality or creativity to come up with something else to bring forth to your attention and as evidence for why you’re going to be relinquishing those tag titles to The Dynasty at Boiling Point, but the truth doesn’t require to be some artist of a wordsmith for your desires to make things interesting. The truth doesn’t need fancy dressing to place all over it to make sure that the point is made, but the simple truth is delivered as blunt as possible. Ever since you’ve been teaming with Savannah Sunshine and put yourself in this situation with the tag team championships, you’ve been on the decline and have been reduced to a mere blip of anyone’s radar instead of a star on the rise to reach heights that he could only dream of. Whether you want to admit that or continue to live in this universe of denial that you have created for yourself, Matt and I are telling you the truth right to your face and we won’t concede otherwise on that point. You may have some world title outside of this promotion with probably some rejects in backyard wrestling who have gathered every single championship they could muster to craft that single belt for you, you may have had some recognition before this tag team championship run that you’ve had, but Boiling Point will be the end of Team Starburst once and for all. Don’t see this as the end of your career though, Myojin. Don’t see this as your end within OWA because this match and losing the OWA World Tag Team Championships will not be your end, but it will be your release from your handcrafted prison that you’ve created with your cellmate Savannah Sunshine to keep yourself from the heights that you could achieve and The Dynasty? We’ll be the ones to release you and allow you to chase those dreams… as long as you don’t cross the path of The Dynasty again.

What is the plan for The Dynasty once we have laid our dominion over the OWA World Tag Team Championship division within this company? What will be our path proceeding forward when most of our brothers have claimed championship gold for ourselves? We will continue to strive towards the pinnacle of this sport and be the greatest alliance of like-minded individuals who have desired nothing more than to restore the prestige of the trophies all around this industry. Darkane will proceed in his path of being known as potentially the greatest Omega Heavyweight Champion since I reigned as world champion here in Olympus, Elijah Hampton will be forging the prestige of The Prestige Championship to be a highly coveted championship by all who seek to make a name for themselves and a statement to those who run this promotion, Big Naheem will continue to be a pivotal equalizer that is needed to support the champions of this brotherhood to keep their reigns of prestige alive, and Matt Miles and I will make sure to provide a reign of grand prestige to the tag team division and resurrect it from the death Team Starburst, The Council, and The Blacklist have provided it. Other than that? I’m sure Matt Miles will be making sure to keep his attention around to his proclivities within the roster itself as one-half of the future tag team champions, but for me? I intend to continue to lead this brotherhood to bring prestige back to the championships that demand it and right now, I’m keeping my attention upon the OWA Television Championship and the match between Nate Cage and Finnegan Wakefield. After Matt Miles and I lay claim to the OWA World Tag Team Championships, defeating the disgrace of a team Team Starburst has become known for holding these championship belts, I intend to complete the goal of any wrestler that walks through these halls that intends to cement themselves as legends here in OWA: become a Triple Crown Champion. When we claim those tag team championships, I’ll be one step closer to achieving that personal goal of mine and be paying close attention to who walks out with the OWA Television Championship. Nate Cage and Finnegan Wakefield, both of you had already failed as a team to claim those tag team titles and both of you are due to stand in the ring with me for different reasons, but rest assured that no matter who wins… I’ll have my attention placed firmly upon you. Other than that, The Dynasty will continue to stand at the top of the mountain like the gods of Mount Olympus stood at the peak to make sure that the world was fashioned in their image. Our image is a world where prestige and class are paramount to the top champions of this promotion, a quality that has been left vacant for many trophies and accolades in this sport and once we’ve achieved that goal, we’ll do whatever it takes to make sure that prestige and class remain as it should be.

It started with Darkane claiming the Omega Heavyweight Championship, it will continue with Elijah Hampton as Prestige Champion along with Matt Miles and me as OWA World Tag Team Champions, and it will end with every single championship in the possession of The Dynasty.

Prepare yourselves.
