Grave Consequences 10/20/24

[Stephen Grant/ Daron Smythe]

[The camera pans over a raucous, sold-out Scheels Center on the campus of North Dakota State University in Fargo, North Dakota. The crowd is on their feet, waving signs and cheering, as fireworks explode from the stage, lighting up the arena in a dazzling display. The ring is bathed in a blood-red spotlight, setting the tone for the night's brutal events. The ECWF Grave Consequences logo looms large on the screen above the entranceway. The commentary team, Josh Grant and Tom Steiner, appear on screen at their ringside desk, ready to set the stage for a night of chaos.]

Josh Grant:
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Grave Consequences! We are LIVE from the sold-out Scheels Center here in Fargo, North Dakota, and the energy in this building is absolutely electric! I’m Josh Grant, alongside my broadcast partner Tom Steiner, and tonight, ECWF delivers one of its most violent and unforgiving events of the year!”

Tom Steiner:
"That’s right, Josh! Every match tonight is a battle for survival, but nothing compares to what we’ve got in store for our main event—a covered steel cage match for the ECWF Heavyweight Championship! Caine Marik will defend his title against the maniacal Victor Kall, and trust me, that cage is more like a tomb!"

Josh Grant:
"It’s going to be brutal, but that’s not all! The ECWF World Tag Team Championships are on the line as the Slaytons defend against the monstrous War Gods, Ares and Odin. These two teams have been on a collision course, and tonight, they’ll finally clash."

Tom Steiner:
"That’s a war waiting to happen, but how about the Buried Alive Match for the Diamonds Division Championship? Crystal Zdunich puts her title on the line against Deena Hixx in a match where the only way to win is to bury your opponent six feet under!"

Josh Grant:
"That’s pure terror, Tom, but the Midwest Championship match might just steal the show! Daron Smythe defends his title against Misery, a man who has everything to gain tonight. Misery has been on a rampage, and Smythe's reign might be in serious jeopardy."

Tom Steiner:
"And don’t forget the Horror Core Championship is up for grabs when Je$TyR SeRyOu$ faces off against the high-flying Ace Sky. That one’s going to be a bloodbath!"

Josh Grant:
"As if that wasn’t enough, we’ve got a battle of ECWF icons! 'The Haunted' Erik Holland takes on John Blade. Two veterans looking to prove who really is the dominant force in ECWF’s past and future."

Tom Steiner:
"Plus, a triple threat match to determine the number one contender for the Diamonds Division Championship! Aaliyah Landerson, ֆʏռռ, and Lynn Starr will battle it out for their shot at the gold. And let’s not forget the special challenge match between Andrew Raynes and Robert Armstrong—it’s going to be a slugfest!"

Josh Grant:
"Every match tonight could be a main event, but here at Grave Consequences, the stakes are higher than ever. Buckle up, folks—it’s going to be a night you won’t forget!"

[The camera cuts to the entrance ramp as the opening match competitors make their way to the ring, and the crowd roars in anticipation.]

Horror Core Championship Match

Je$TyR SeRyOu$ (c) vs. Ace Sky

[The arena lights dim as the opening contest for ECWF Grave Consequences begins. The crowd buzzes with anticipation as the familiar sounds of "Eye In The Sky" by The Alan Parsons Project fill the Scheels Center. The fans erupt as Ace Sky steps through the curtain, his eyes locked on the ring. He raises his arms, soaking in the energy from the sold-out crowd.]

Sam Sparx (ring announcer):
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the ECWF Horror Core Championship! Introducing first, the challenger! From Sugarland, Houston, Texas, weighing in at 165 pounds… Ace Sky!"

[Ace Sky sprints to the ring, showing off his incredible agility as he springboards over the top rope and lands gracefully on the canvas. He climbs the turnbuckle, pointing to the sky before hopping down, laser-focused on reclaiming the title.]

Josh Grant (commentary):
"Ace Sky has been scratching and clawing to get back to this moment, Tom. After losing the Horror Core Championship to Je$TyR SeRyOu$, he’s been relentless in his pursuit of redemption."

Tom Steiner:
"He’s got the heart, Josh, but the man he’s about to face is a different beast. SeRyOu$ is ruthless, and he’ll do anything to keep that championship around his waist."

[Suddenly, "Prince Charming" by Metallica blasts over the PA system. Je$TyR SeRyOu$ strides out with a confident smirk, the ECWF Horror Core Championship slung over his shoulder. He glares at the crowd, ignoring their boos as he makes his way to the ring.]

Sam Sparx:
"And his opponent, from New Orleans, Louisiana, weighing in at 245 pounds… He is the reigning, defending ECWF Horror Core Champion… Je$TyR SeRyOu$!"

[SeRyOu$ enters the ring, raising the Horror Core Championship high above his head. He stares down Ace Sky, daring him to step up, as referee Mark Jenkins steps in to hold the title belt aloft before the match.]

Josh Grant:
"This is a battle between two men with very different styles. Sky is all about speed and finesse, while SeRyOu$ brings the power and brutality. And remember, the Horror Core Championship means anything can happen in this match!"

[The bell rings, and the two competitors circle each other before locking up. Sky’s quickness allows him to slip out of SeRyOu$’s grasp early on, landing a series of sharp kicks to the champion’s legs. SeRyOu$ retaliates with a thunderous clothesline, nearly decapitating Sky.]

Tom Steiner:
"That’s the power advantage right there, Josh! SeRyOu$ can turn the tide with just one move."

[The match rages on, with Ace Sky fighting tooth and nail to stay in the game. He uses his aerial assault to keep SeRyOu$ off balance, hitting a picture-perfect springboard moonsault that earns him a two-count. But every time Sky builds momentum, SeRyOu$ cuts him down with his sheer strength, slamming him into the mat with a spinebuster.]

Josh Grant:
"Sky is giving it everything he’s got, but SeRyOu$ is like a wrecking ball in there. He’s not giving Sky an inch!"

[Midway through the match, as both men are down after a brutal exchange, "Debonaire" by Dope suddenly hits over the PA system. The crowd is in shock as Misery, the monstrous contender, strides out onto the stage, a wicked grin on his face.]

Josh Grant (in disbelief):
"Wait a minute! That’s Misery! He’s here, and it looks like he’s cashing in his Scotty Paine Memorial Gauntlet title shot right now!"

Tom Steiner:
"Are you kidding me? Misery is about to make this a triple threat! This is bad news for both SeRyOu$ and Ace Sky!"

[Misery storms down to the ring as SeRyOu$ and Sky are both slowly getting to their feet. Misery charges into the ring, wasting no time in laying waste to both men. He levels SeRyOu$ with a big boot, sending the champion sprawling to the outside.]

Josh Grant:
"Misery has just taken over this match! SeRyOu$ is down on the floor, and Sky doesn’t even know what hit him!"

[Ace Sky, refusing to back down, ascends the turnbuckle, aiming to take Misery down with one final high-flying move. As Sky soars through the air, Misery suddenly steps forward and drives a devastating Cruor (Gore/Spear) into Sky mid-flight. The impact is brutal, and Sky crumples to the mat, all the air knocked out of him.]

Tom Steiner (shocked):
"He just split Ace Sky in half! There’s no way Sky’s getting up after that!"

[Misery wastes no time, hooking Sky’s leg for the pinfall. Mark Jenkins counts the three, and the crowd erupts in shock as Misery becomes the new ECWF Horror Core Champion.]

Sam Sparx:
"Here is your winner… and new ECWF Horror Core Champion… Misery!"

[Misery raises the Horror Core Championship high, but his celebration is short-lived. Out of nowhere, Je$TyR SeRyOu$ slides back into the ring, steel chair in hand. Without warning, he smashes the chair across the back of Misery’s head, sending the new champion crashing to the canvas.]

Josh Grant:
"Oh no! SeRyOu$ just blindsided Misery with that steel chair! Misery is busted open!"

[As Misery lies bloodied and motionless in the center of the ring, SeRyOu$ stands over him with a sinister smirk. He sarcastically tosses the Horror Core Title belt onto Misery’s back, making a mockery of the new champion.]

Tom Steiner:
"SeRyOu$ doesn’t care about the rules—he just cares about sending a message. But the question now is, will Misery even be able to compete for the Midwest Championship later tonight after this beating?"

[The camera zooms in on a bloodied Misery as SeRyOu$ walks up the ramp, laughing at the chaos he’s left behind. The crowd is stunned as the commentary team speculates about the rest of the night.]

Josh Grant:
"Misery may have won the Horror Core Championship, but SeRyOu$ made sure he won’t leave Grave Consequences in one piece. We’ve still got a lot more to come tonight, but the fallout from this match is going to be felt throughout ECWF!"

[The camera fades out as medics rush to tend to Misery, and the tension builds for the next match on the card.]

WINNER AND NEW HORROR CORE CHAMPION: MISERY

Special Challenge Match

Andrew Raynes vs. Robert Armstrong

[The crowd in the Scheels Center is still buzzing after the chaotic Horror Core Championship match, but the energy stays high as the lights shift, signaling the arrival of the next contest. "Omnishred" by Powerglove blasts through the speakers, and Andrew Raynes emerges from the back, all business as he marches toward the ring.]

Sam Sparx (ring announcer):
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, weighing in at 225 pounds… Andrew Raynes!"

[Raynes ignores the crowd, his intense focus set on the ring. He slides under the ropes and takes his corner, ready for battle.]

Josh Grant (commentary):
"Andrew Raynes is as focused as ever tonight, Tom. This man has been on a mission to prove he’s one of the most dangerous competitors in ECWF."

Tom Steiner:
"Raynes doesn’t care about what the fans think, Josh. He’s here to inflict pain and walk away with another victory."

[Suddenly, the arena lights flicker as "Murder One" by Metallica hits the speakers. Robert Armstrong appears on stage, greeted by a mixture of cheers and jeers. His rugged demeanor is on full display as he marches down the ramp, his eyes locked on Raynes.]

Sam Sparx:
"And his opponent, from Verona, California, weighing in at 235 pounds… Robert Armstrong!"

[Armstrong takes his time, soaking in the reaction of the crowd. He ascends the steps and enters the ring, locking eyes with Raynes as referee Nick Pack checks both men.]

Josh Grant:
"Robert Armstrong is no stranger to tough fights, but tonight, he’s up against a dangerous man in Andrew Raynes. This one could get brutal fast."

Tom Steiner:
"These two have very similar mindsets—no nonsense, all business. We’re in for a hard-hitting fight."

[The bell rings, and both men waste no time locking up in the center of the ring. Armstrong uses his slight weight advantage to push Raynes into the corner, but Raynes counters with a stiff knee to the midsection. He follows up with a sharp elbow to Armstrong’s jaw, staggering the man from Verona.]

Josh Grant:
"Raynes is taking control early, using his striking ability to his advantage."

[Raynes continues to work over Armstrong, targeting the midsection with brutal precision. Armstrong fights back with stiff forearms, knocking Raynes into the ropes before hitting a big shoulder tackle that sends Raynes crashing to the mat. Armstrong quickly drops an elbow, trying to keep the pressure on, but Raynes rolls out of the way at the last second.]

Tom Steiner:
"Armstrong’s trying to turn the tide, but Raynes is just too quick. This match could change in an instant."

[The pace picks up as the two men trade blows in the center of the ring, neither giving an inch. Armstrong catches Raynes off guard with a powerful belly-to-belly suplex, getting a close two-count, but Raynes kicks out with authority.]

Josh Grant:
"Armstrong showing some power there, but Raynes isn’t going down that easily."

[Raynes, visibly frustrated, shifts into another gear. He ducks under a clothesline attempt from Armstrong and counters with a leaping enzuigiri, sending Armstrong stumbling into the ropes. Sensing an opportunity, Raynes grabs Armstrong and whips him into the corner before following up with a running knee strike to the face.]

Tom Steiner:
"Raynes is wearing Armstrong down now. He’s setting the pace and making Armstrong fight on his terms."

[As Armstrong tries to recover, Raynes stalks him, measuring his next move. He grabs Armstrong from behind, looking for the finish. Armstrong tries to fight out of it, throwing elbows at Raynes, but Raynes spins him around and, with a swift motion, hooks him for the Shattered Glass. Raynes leaps into the air, driving Armstrong face-first into the mat with the devastating reverse STO.]

Josh Grant:
"Shattered Glass! Raynes just planted Armstrong!"

[The crowd gasps as Raynes hooks the leg, and referee Nick Pack slides in to make the count. One… Two… Three! The bell rings, and Raynes rises to his feet, a satisfied smirk on his face as his hand is raised in victory.]

Sam Sparx:
"Here is your winner… Andrew Raynes!"

[Raynes doesn’t waste time celebrating, rolling out of the ring and making his way up the ramp, his eyes still locked on the ring as Armstrong struggles to recover.]

Josh Grant:
"Andrew Raynes with a decisive win here tonight. He hit that Shattered Glass out of nowhere, and Armstrong didn’t stand a chance."

Tom Steiner:
"Raynes is proving to everyone in ECWF that he’s a force to be reckoned with. Whoever steps in his way next better be ready for a fight."

[As Raynes disappears backstage, the camera cuts to Armstrong, who is slowly getting back to his feet, frustration etched on his face as the fans applaud his effort.]

Josh Grant:
"Armstrong gave it his all, but Raynes was just too much tonight. This is just the start of what's shaping up to be an unforgettable Grave Consequences!"

WINNER: ANDREW RAYNES

Diamond's Division #1 Contender Triple Threat Match

Aaliyah Landerson vs. ֆʏռռ vs. Lynn Starr

[The lights in the Scheels Center dim as "Yen" by Slipknot rumbles through the speakers. Emerging from the entrance is the intimidating presence of ֆʏռռ, her signature dark aesthetic and intense focus drawing the crowd's attention.]

Sam Sparx (ring announcer):
"The following contest is a Triple Threat Match, and it is for the #1 Contendership to the ECWF Diamonds Division Championship! Introducing first, from Anchorage, Alaska, weighing in at 145 pounds… ֆʏռռ!"

[ֆʏռռ strides down to the ring, eyes cold and calculating, completely unfazed by the crowd’s reactions. As she steps inside the ring, she stares down the entrance ramp, waiting for her opponents.]

Josh Grant (commentary):
"ֆʏռռ is a force to be reckoned with, Tom. We've seen her dominate her opponents, and tonight could be no different."

Tom Steiner:
"This match could get brutal fast. ֆʏռռ’s here to make a statement, and a win tonight puts her on the path to challenge for the Diamonds Division Title."

[Before long, "Vengo Por Ti" by Def Rebel hits the speakers, and Aaliyah Landerson, a fan favorite, bursts through the curtain, waving to the cheering crowd. Her high energy contrasts sharply with ֆʏռռ’s stoic demeanor.]

Sam Sparx:
"Next, from San Jose, California, weighing in at 114 pounds… Aaliyah Landerson!"

[Aaliyah makes her way to the ring, slapping hands with fans along the way, but when she reaches the ring and locks eyes with ֆʏռռ, her expression turns serious.]

Josh Grant:
"Aaliyah Landerson has been scratching and clawing for a chance like this. She knows what’s on the line tonight."

Tom Steiner:
"She's the smallest in this match, but don’t let her size fool you—Aaliyah’s got speed, and that could make her dangerous."

[Just as the commentators finish their thought, "The Sound of Madness" by Shinedown blares, and Lynn Starr confidently walks onto the stage, the veteran with a determined look. She points toward the ring before making her way down the ramp.]

Sam Sparx:
"And from Richmond, Virginia, weighing in at 140 pounds… Lynn Starr!"

[Starr enters the ring and takes her place, exchanging a quick glance with Aaliyah before shifting her gaze to ֆʏռռ, who remains eerily calm.]

Josh Grant:
"Lynn Starr’s got a ton of experience, and she’s no stranger to high-stakes matches. She could be the x-factor in this one."

Tom Steiner:
"Absolutely, Josh. All three women bring something different to the table, and I can't wait to see how it all plays out."

[Referee Susan Spinelli checks with all three competitors before signaling for the bell.]

[The match starts with Aaliyah Landerson looking to use her speed to stay out of harm’s way, darting around the ring as Starr and ֆʏռռ focus on each other. The veteran Starr and the powerful ֆʏռռ trade holds early, with Starr trying to outwrestle ֆʏռռ. Starr lands a few well-placed strikes, but ֆʏռռ counters with a vicious clothesline that sends Starr tumbling to the mat.]

Josh Grant:
"ֆʏռռ with that powerhouse offense, just mowing down Lynn Starr!"

[As Starr tries to recover, ֆʏռռ turns her attention to Aaliyah, who springboards off the ropes, hitting a crossbody! The crowd pops as Aaliyah scrambles for a quick cover—one, but ֆʏռռ kicks out with authority.]

Tom Steiner:
"Landerson's not backing down! She’s trying to use that agility to her advantage."

[Aaliyah keeps the pressure on, bouncing off the ropes and hitting a hurricanrana on ֆʏռռ, sending her rolling to the outside. But as Aaliyah turns around, she's met by a stiff kick from Starr, who follows it up with a snap suplex, dropping Landerson hard in the center of the ring.]

Josh Grant:
"Starr with that veteran savvy, taking advantage of the opening!"

[Starr goes for a cover—one, two, but Aaliyah kicks out. Starr doesn’t waste time, pulling Aaliyah to her feet and whipping her into the corner. Starr charges, but Aaliyah uses her agility to leapfrog out of the way, sending Starr crashing into the turnbuckles! Aaliyah quickly hits a dropkick, sending Starr to the mat. Just as Aaliyah looks to ascend the ropes for a high-flying move, ֆʏռռ re-enters the ring, grabbing Aaliyah by the hair and yanking her off the top rope!]

Tom Steiner:
"ֆʏռռ is back in, and she looks furious!"

[ֆʏռռ delivers a series of brutal forearms to Aaliyah, throwing her into the corner and following up with a running knee strike. Aaliyah crumbles to the mat as ֆʏռռ stands over her, the crowd booing as she lifts Aaliyah by the hair, setting her up for something sinister. But before ֆʏռռ can capitalize, Starr is back in the mix, hitting a backstabber that takes ֆʏռռ down!]

Josh Grant:
"Lynn Starr with a huge counter! This match is chaos!"

[Starr takes control, targeting both women as she stomps away at ֆʏռռ before turning to Landerson. She drags Aaliyah to the center of the ring, signaling for her signature DDT, but as she hooks Aaliyah’s head, ֆʏռռ springs to her feet, grabbing Starr from behind. ֆʏռռ pulls Starr into a vicious butterfly lock, and with one swift motion, she plants Starr with the Beautiful Disaster! Starr crashes into the mat, and ֆʏռռ immediately goes for the cover.]

Tom Steiner:
"Beautiful Disaster! ֆʏռռ just flattened Lynn Starr!"

[Referee Susan Spinelli counts—one, two, three! The bell rings as ֆʏռռ stands tall, her hand raised in victory.]

Sam Sparx:
"Here is your winner, and the #1 Contender for the ECWF Diamonds Division Championship… ֆʏռռ!"

[As ֆʏռռ’s music hits, she stares down at her fallen opponents, showing no emotion as the crowd responds to her dominant performance. She steps out of the ring, her eyes set on the prize—her upcoming title opportunity.]

Josh Grant:
"ֆʏռռ has just punched her ticket to a title shot in decisive fashion. She was absolutely dominant tonight."

Tom Steiner:
"She’s a dangerous competitor, Josh. Whoever holds that Diamonds Division Championship better be ready for the fight of their life."

WINNER and NEW #1 CONTENDER FOR THE DIAMONDS DIVISION TITLE: ֆʏռռ

Battle of the ECWF Icons

"The Haunted" Erik Holland vs. John Blade

[The crowd in the Scheels Center buzzes with anticipation as the lights dim. The eerie intro of "The Dying Song" by Slipknot kicks in, and the camera pans to the entrance where a dark figure emerges—Erik Holland, "The Haunted."]

The lights suddenly die.



“Will you tell these fools i’m not crazy! MAKE THEM LISTEN TO ME BEFORE ITS TOO LATE! Listen to me. Please listen. If you dont, if you wont— if you fail to understand, then the same incredible terror menacing me will STRIKE AT YOU!”





PUT YOUR HAND INTO THE WATER



LET YOUR MOUTH GO SICK AND DRY



PUT YOUR LIFE INTO YOUR DEATH NOW



LET THEM SING UNTIL WE DIE



DIE



DIE



DIE





As Slipknot brings the audio assault, Erik Holland hits the stage with arms extended out and palms open, an ugly grin tattooing his otherwise handsome features. Enjoying the chaos of the roiling smoke and red strobes, Erik storms the ring; he grabs the camera on the way there and yells some threats at tonight’s opponents before shoving it aside and doing a lazy lap around ringside before jumping up onto the apron, spinning around on his knees so he can face the audience who has been thrown into a full-on frenzy and more resembles a mosh pit than a wrestling audience. He looks out to the crowd with an intense look, gritting his teeth and ducking through the ropes, crawling back towards the camera to yell more threats, and even chew on the bottom rope to get more energy from the crowd!





He bounds to his feet, whipping off his goggles and throwing them into the crowd for the fans to either tear apart or bring home - he doesn’t care. He heads to the corner and crouches in it, staring at the entranceway, silently begging the bell to ring so he can hurt someone.



Sam Sparx (ring announcer):
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a Battle of ECWF Icons! Introducing first, from Silent Hill, weighing in at 285 pounds… Erik 'The Haunted' Holland!"

Josh Grant (commentary):
"Erik Holland has been on a tear recently, and some say this could be the start of a run straight to the ECWF Championship. But tonight, he faces one of the toughest tests in John Blade."

Tom Steiner:
"This match is personal for Holland. Every time he steps in the ring, he’s fighting not just his opponent, but his own demons. John Blade, though, is a legend in ECWF, and a win over him is no easy feat."

[As the arena shifts from dark and ominous to full of energy, "The Time Is Now" blares over the speakers. The crowd erupts as John Blade confidently walks onto the stage, saluting the fans before making his way to the ring.]

Sam Sparx:
"And his opponent, from Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at 251 pounds… John Blade!"

[Blade steps into the ring, immediately locking eyes with Holland. The tension between these two icons is palpable as the crowd rallies behind both men, eager to see them clash.]

Josh Grant:
"John Blade, the ECWF veteran, knows how to get it done in big matches. He’s been in battles like this for years, and tonight’s no different."

Tom Steiner:
"Blade’s legacy speaks for itself. He’s been a champion in this company multiple times, but tonight, it’s all about pride and proving who’s the true ECWF icon."

[Referee Susan Spinelli checks both competitors before signaling for the bell. As soon as the bell rings, Holland and Blade collide in the center of the ring, each man trying to outpower the other.]

[The opening moments of the match are a true power struggle, with Holland and Blade trading big, impactful moves. Blade goes for a shoulder tackle, but Holland absorbs it, standing his ground. Holland retaliates with a clothesline that staggers Blade, but the veteran quickly counters with a suplex, sending Holland crashing to the mat.]

Josh Grant:
"Both men are throwing everything at each other here. This is a battle of pure power!"

[Holland gets back to his feet and takes control, hitting Blade with a series of stiff strikes. He whips Blade into the corner and follows up with a running splash that causes Blade to stumble forward. Holland lifts Blade, showing off his strength with a massive sidewalk slam. He covers—one, two, but Blade kicks out.]

Tom Steiner:
"Holland’s not backing down, but Blade is just as resilient as ever."

[Blade fights back, using his veteran instincts to land a powerful DDT that buys him some time. Both men are down, and the crowd is chanting for their favorite. Blade is the first to his feet, and he hoists Holland up into a fireman’s carry, looking for his signature move, but suddenly Holland clutches his lower back, showing signs of pain.]

Josh Grant:
"Oh no, Holland’s surgically repaired back might have given out! This could be bad news for him."

[Blade takes advantage of the opening, dropping Holland and continuing the assault with clubbing blows to Holland’s back. Blade picks Holland up and hits a backbreaker, really targeting that weak spot.]

Tom Steiner:
"John Blade smells blood in the water, and he’s going after that back with everything he’s got!"

[Blade sets Holland up for another fireman’s carry, possibly looking to end the match, but Holland refuses to stay down. With a surge of strength, Holland elbows Blade repeatedly, slipping out of the hold. He grabs Blade and lifts him up into his own fireman’s carry.]

Josh Grant:
"Holland somehow powers through the pain! He’s got Blade up—what's he thinking here?"

[With a roar, Holland spins Blade off his shoulders and nails him with The Toxic Avenger (John Cena’s Attitude Adjustment)! Blade crashes to the mat, and Holland immediately hooks the leg for the pin.]

Susan Spinelli (referee):
"One, two, three!"

[The bell rings, and "The Dying Song" plays once again as Erik Holland stands tall, his hand raised in victory. He stumbles slightly, still feeling the effects of his back injury, but the crowd erupts in appreciation for both men’s efforts.]

Sam Sparx:
"Here is your winner… Erik 'The Haunted' Holland!"

Josh Grant:
"What a battle that was! Both men gave everything they had, but Erik Holland pulls out the win with that brutal Toxic Avenger."

Tom Steiner:
"It looked like Blade had it in the bag, especially with Holland’s back giving him trouble, but this man is something else. There’s something almost… magical about this run Holland’s been on lately. Could it be leading him straight to the ECWF Championship?"

[Holland slowly exits the ring, still nursing his back as he makes his way up the ramp. The crowd gives both men a standing ovation, knowing they’ve just witnessed a classic battle between ECWF legends.]

WINNER: "THE HAUNTED" ERIK HOLLAND

Midwest Championship Match

#1 Daron Smythe (c) vs. Misery


[The arena lights dim, and "Debonaire" by Dope echoes through the sold-out Scheels Center. Fans are on their feet, anticipating the arrival of Misery, the newly crowned Horror Core Champion, ready for a brutal clash with Daron Smythe for the ECWF Midwest Championship.]

Josh Grant (commentary):
"Here we go, folks! The Midwest Championship is on the line, and I’m telling you, this one could steal the show!"

Tom Steiner (commentary):
"No doubt, Josh. Daron Smythe has been on a dominant run, but Misery is looking to make history tonight by walking out of here with two championships."

[However, there's an unusual twist. "Debonaire" fades out, and instead, "#1" by Nelly hits. Daron Smythe strides out first, looking confident, almost too smug. The crowd murmurs in confusion.]

Sam Sparx (ring announcer):
"Introducing first, from Wheeling, West Virginia, weighing in at 246 pounds… he is the reigning and defending ECWF Midwest Champion… Daron Smythe!"

[Smythe smirks as he makes his way to the ring, clearly unfazed by the odd order of events. He mocks the crowd, reveling in their confusion.]

Josh Grant:
"Smythe out first? What’s going on here? Usually, the champion comes out last, and we were expecting Misery!"

Tom Steiner:
"Could this be some kind of mind game from Smythe? Or maybe something happened to Misery?"

[As Smythe basks in the moment, "Debonaire" by Dope hits again, and Sam Sparx introduces Misery, from the Pits of Despair, weighing 295 pounds and now recognized as the new ECWF Horror Core Champion.]

Sam Sparx:
"And his opponent, weighing in at 295 pounds, from the Pits of Despair… he is the new ECWF Horror Core Champion… Misery!"

[But Misery doesn't appear. Confusion continues as "Debonaire" fades out and plays again, but Misery is still nowhere to be seen. The audience grows restless.]

Josh Grant:
"Something’s not right. Where’s Misery?"

Tom Steiner:
"Maybe that brutal attack from SeRyOu$ earlier took more out of him than we thought."

[The referee, Mark Jervis, hesitates before starting a 10-count. He gets to five, and the crowd begins to chant Misery’s name. But just before Jervis reaches ten, "Debonaire" hits once again—and this time, Misery stumbles out, bloodied and bandaged from the earlier assault by SeRyOu$. Referees try to hold him back, pleading with him to reconsider, but Misery pushes them away, fueled by sheer determination.]

Josh Grant:
"Look at this! Misery is a bloody mess, but he’s coming out here! After that beatdown earlier tonight, he’s not backing down!"

Tom Steiner:
"This man is unstoppable. The crowd is on their feet—what guts!"

[Misery slowly makes his way to the ring, clearly struggling but refusing to give up. The crowd explodes as Misery rolls into the ring, his body battered, and shouts at the referee, "RING THE FKING BELL!" The intensity is palpable as the bell sounds, and the match officially begins.]**

[Smythe, taking advantage of Misery’s weakened state, immediately goes on the offensive. He delivers punishing strikes, targeting Misery’s head and ribs, further exploiting the injuries from earlier. Each time Misery tries to mount a comeback, Smythe cuts him off, driving him into the corner and hitting a series of sharp kicks to the midsection.]

Josh Grant:
"Smythe is taking full advantage of Misery’s condition. He’s not showing any mercy!"

Tom Steiner:
"Smythe knows that Misery is barely hanging on, and he's going to pick him apart piece by piece."

[Smythe signals for the #1 and Done Superkick, measuring Misery as he slowly rises to his feet. He goes for the finisher, but Misery ducks! He hits the ropes and, with the last bit of energy he has, nails Smythe with a Cruor (Gore/Spear)! Both men are down as the crowd erupts!]

Josh Grant:
"Oh my God! Cruor! Misery hit the spear, but he’s too hurt to capitalize!"

[Misery struggles, crawling toward Smythe, draping an arm over him. The referee drops to the mat—one, two, but Smythe kicks out just in time! The fans are going wild, chanting for Misery.]

Tom Steiner:
"How did Smythe kick out of that?! Misery is putting it all on the line tonight!"

[With the crowd rallying behind him, Misery sets up for another Cruor. He’s running on fumes, but he lines Smythe up for one final shot. He charges, but Smythe leaps into the air, causing Misery to crash headfirst into the middle turnbuckle. Groggy and disoriented, Misery stumbles out of the corner right into a #1 and Done Superkick!]

Josh Grant:
"Smythe nails the superkick! That’s gotta be it!"

[Smythe immediately covers—one, two, three! The bell rings, and "#1" by Nelly blares through the arena as Smythe clutches his Midwest Championship. The crowd, though stunned by the result, gives Misery a standing ovation for his heart and determination.]

Sam Sparx:
"Here is your winner, and still the ECWF Midwest Champion… Daron Smythe!"

Tom Steiner:
"Misery gave everything he had tonight. He might not have walked away with two championships, but what a showing! This is a star-making performance."

Josh Grant:
"Misery’s not just the new Horror Core Champion—tonight he proved he belongs in the main event conversation. Even if he didn’t win, he’s got the respect of every fan in this building."

[The referee hands Misery his Horror Core Championship as Smythe rolls out of the ring, celebrating his win. Misery, bloodied and battered, sits in the middle of the ring holding his title, receiving a hero’s ovation from the crowd. The announcers speculate about Misery's future as they sign off for the next match.]

WINNER and STILL MIDWEST CHAMPION: #1 DARON SMYTHE


Diamonds Division Championship - BURIED ALIVE MATCH

Crystal Zdunich (c) vs. Deena Hixx


[The atmosphere in the Scheels Center turns electric as the stage is set for one of the most grueling matches in professional wrestling: the Buried Alive Match. The stakes couldn’t be higher, as the ECWF Diamonds Division Championship hangs in the balance. A chilling grave, freshly dug, looms near the entrance ramp.]

Josh Grant (commentary):
"Here we go, Tom. This is the match that could change careers—literally. Crystal Zdunich and Deena Hixx are about to step into the most brutal environment imaginable."

Tom Steiner (commentary):
"There's no pinfall, no submission. The only way to win is to put your opponent in that grave and bury them alive. This match could define the future of the Diamonds Division."

[“The Storm is Coming” by Blacktop Mojo hits the speakers, and Deena Hixx makes her entrance. She looks focused, the intensity in her eyes clear as she prepares for the fight of her life.]

Sam Sparx (ring announcer):
"Introducing first, the challenger… from Vero Beach, Florida, weighing in at 160 pounds… Deena Hixx!"

[Deena strides toward the ring, her eyes never leaving the grave at the top of the ramp. She rolls into the ring, stretching and preparing herself for the chaotic battle to come.]

Josh Grant:
"Deena Hixx looks like she’s ready for war. She’s no stranger to pain, but this match is about more than endurance—it’s about survival."

[The lights dim, and “Roses” by Goldlink plays as Crystal Zdunich, the reigning Diamonds Division Champion, emerges from the back. The crowd erupts as Crystal stands at the top of the ramp, holding her title high in the air. Her signature roses-themed gear shimmers under the lights as she takes in the moment.]

Sam Sparx:
"And her opponent… from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 115 pounds, she is the ECWF Diamonds Division Champion… Crystal Zdunich!"

[Crystal’s eyes are locked on Deena Hixx as she makes her way to the ring. There’s no fear in her expression, only determination. As she hands her championship to the referee, she nods toward the grave site, knowing what’s at stake.]

Tom Steiner:
"Crystal Zdunich has been an incredible champion, but this is a different challenge entirely. Deena Hixx is going to push her to the limit."

[The bell rings, and both women waste no time, charging at each other in the center of the ring. Deena uses her size advantage to shove Crystal back into the corner, delivering a series of hard strikes to Crystal’s midsection. Crystal fights back with quick kicks, but Deena’s power overwhelms her early on.]

Josh Grant:
"Deena using her strength right away. She’s trying to make this a physical fight, and Crystal’s going to have to use her speed and agility to survive."

[The fight quickly spills out of the ring as Deena tosses Crystal over the top rope. Deena follows, grabbing Crystal and whipping her hard into the steel steps. The sound of the impact echoes throughout the arena, and Crystal clutches her back in pain.]

Tom Steiner:
"Deena’s not messing around. She’s taking this fight all over the arena, and she’s going to make Crystal earn every bit of that championship tonight."

[Deena pulls Crystal to her feet and slams her headfirst into the barricade, sending the crowd into a frenzy. But Crystal, resilient as ever, rakes Deena’s eyes and delivers a swift kick to Deena’s knee, staggering the challenger.]

Josh Grant:
"Crystal fighting back! She’s not going to go down easy, and she’s finding ways to turn this match around."

[Crystal grabs Deena and sends her crashing into the barricade with a running dropkick, finally giving herself some breathing room. Crystal quickly scales the barricade, waiting for Deena to rise before leaping off with a flying crossbody, taking Deena down to the concrete floor!]

Tom Steiner:
"Wow! Crystal Zdunich risking it all here with that crossbody! She’s using every tool in her arsenal to keep Deena off balance."

[The fight continues through the crowd, with Crystal and Deena exchanging blows as they battle toward the grave. Deena grabs a steel chair from a fan, swinging wildly at Crystal, but the champion ducks and counters with a spinning back elbow, sending Deena crashing into a row of chairs.]

Josh Grant:
"This is getting out of control! They’re tearing each other apart, and they’re getting closer to that grave!"

[As they approach the burial site, Deena gains the upper hand once more, clubbing Crystal across the back and dragging her toward the dirt mound. Deena tries to throw Crystal into the grave, but Crystal fights back with a desperation headbutt and a series of quick forearms, stunning Deena.]

Tom Steiner:
"They’re right by the grave! One mistake here could be the end for either of them."

[Crystal, sensing an opportunity, grabs a nearby shovel and cracks it across Deena’s midsection. Deena doubles over in pain, and Crystal follows up with a second shot to Deena’s back, knocking her down to the dirt.]

Josh Grant:
"Crystal using that shovel like a weapon! She’s doing everything she can to keep Deena down."

[Crystal looks to bury Deena, but Deena fights back, grabbing Crystal by the throat and tossing her into the pile of dirt near the grave. Deena climbs out of the dirt, furious, and picks up Crystal by the hair. She drags her back to the entrance ramp, looking to slam her onto the steel.]

Tom Steiner:
"This is getting ugly. Deena wants to punish Crystal and put an end to her title reign."

[But Crystal, with a sudden burst of energy, breaks free and kicks Deena in the gut. Crystal quickly hoists Deena up, positioning her for her signature move, The Rose Garden (Corkscrew Neckbreaker). She nails it, driving Deena headfirst onto the steel ramp!]

Josh Grant:
"The Rose Garden! That’s got to be it! Crystal just took Deena out!"

[Crystal, breathing heavily and battered from the fight, drags Deena’s limp body toward the grave. The crowd is on their feet as Crystal rolls Deena into the grave, but Deena, still defiant, grabs Crystal’s ankle in a last-ditch effort to stop her.]

Tom Steiner:
"Deena won’t quit! She’s fighting with everything she has left!"

[Crystal pulls away, grabbing the shovel again, and without hesitation, she slams it into Deena’s shoulder, knocking her back into the grave. With Deena finally down, Crystal begins shoveling dirt into the grave, burying Deena alive as the crowd counts along.]

Josh Grant:
"She’s doing it! Crystal is burying Deena Hixx alive!"

[After several agonizing moments, Deena is completely buried, and the bell rings. “Roses” by Goldlink plays once again as Crystal Zdunich collapses to her knees, exhausted but victorious.]

Sam Sparx:
"Here is your winner, and still the ECWF Diamonds Division Champion… Crystal Zdunich!"

[The crowd erupts in applause as Crystal raises her arms in triumph. She holds onto her championship, battered but still standing as the dirt-covered grave looms in the background.]

Tom Steiner:
"What an absolute war! Crystal Zdunich survives this Buried Alive Match and proves why she’s the Diamonds Division Champion."

Josh Grant:
"Deena Hixx brought the fight, but tonight, Crystal dug deep and showed just how far she’s willing to go to keep her title."

[As Crystal makes her way back up the ramp, the camera lingers on the grave where Deena Hixx lies buried, a chilling reminder of the brutality of this match. Crystal stands tall, holding her title high as the crowd cheers her on.]

WINNER and STILL DIAMONDS DIVISION CHAMPION: CRYSTAL ZDUNICH

ECWF World Tag Team Championship Match

The Slaytons (c) vs. The War Gods (Ares and Odin)

[The atmosphere in the sold-out Scheels Center is electric as the crowd anticipates the upcoming clash for the ECWF Tag Team Titles. The tension is palpable, knowing this is not just a fight for the championship but a war between two of the most dominant teams in ECWF.]

Josh Grant (commentary):
"This next contest is going to be a physical, knockdown drag-out fight, Tom. The Slaytons are not just defending their Tag Team Titles tonight—they also have physical possession of the ECWF Heavyweight Title, even though Caine Marik is the official champion."

Tom Steiner (commentary):
"That’s right, Josh. Patrick and David Slayton have made it clear they want more than just to dominate the tag team division—they want control of everything in ECWF, including the Heavyweight Championship. But tonight, they’ve got their hands full with the monsters known as the War Gods."

[The lights dim, and Sam Sparx steps into the ring, ready to introduce the competitors.]

Sam Sparx (ring announcer):
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the ECWF World Tag Team Championship!"

[“Raining Blood” by Slayer rips through the arena speakers, signaling the arrival of the challengers. The War Gods—Ares and Odin—appear at the entrance, two massive figures with unrelenting intensity. They storm down the ramp, eyes locked on the ring, where their prey awaits.]

Sam Sparx:
"Introducing first, the challengers… weighing in at a combined 590 pounds, from the Battlefield of the Gods… Ares and Odin—the War Gods!"

[Ares and Odin, resembling the Road Warriors of old, make their way to the ring, ignoring the fans as they focus on the task ahead. Their debut in ECWF had been nothing short of destructive, and tonight they aim to add the Tag Team Titles to their collection.]

Josh Grant:
"The War Gods have been on a path of destruction since arriving in ECWF, taking out Hall of Famers and legends alike. Tonight is their biggest test—can they topple the champions?"

[The War Gods wait in the ring, pacing like caged animals as their music fades out. Suddenly, "Du Hast" by Motionless in White hits, and the champions, Patrick and David Slayton, appear at the top of the ramp. The crowd greets them with a mixed reaction, but the Slaytons, with the ECWF Tag Team Titles around their waists, soak in the moment with smug confidence. David Slayton has the ECWF Heavyweight Title belt draped over his shoulder, a reminder of the psychological warfare they’ve been playing with Caine Marik.]

Sam Sparx:
"And their opponents… weighing in at a combined 490 pounds, they are the reigning and defending ECWF World Tag Team Champions… Patrick and David Slayton—the Slayton Brothers!"

[The Slaytons make their way to the ring, all business as they hand their Tag Team Titles and the “borrowed” Heavyweight Title to the referee. Nick Pack holds the Tag Titles high, signaling the stakes of the match.]

Tom Steiner:
"The Slaytons don’t just want to win this match—they want to humiliate the War Gods. But when you’re in there with two men the size of Ares and Odin, that might be easier said than done."

[The bell rings, and immediately, Ares and Patrick Slayton lock up in the center of the ring, a battle of power versus finesse. Ares, the larger of the two, quickly overpowers Patrick, shoving him into the corner. Ares follows up with heavy shoulder blocks to Patrick’s midsection, each one driving the air out of the Tag Team Champion.]

Josh Grant:
"Ares is wasting no time, asserting his dominance early in this match. The War Gods have the size and strength advantage, and they’re using it right from the get-go."

[Patrick staggers out of the corner, only to be scooped up by Ares and slammed down with authority. Ares tags in Odin, and the War Gods begin to double-team Patrick, delivering a brutal series of stomps and strikes, keeping him grounded. Odin grabs Patrick by the throat and lifts him high into the air before driving him back down with a thunderous chokeslam.]

Tom Steiner:
"The War Gods are picking Patrick apart, and if this continues, we might be looking at new Tag Team Champions tonight."

[But Patrick, resilient as ever, fights back with quick jabs to Odin’s midsection. He slips out of Odin’s grip and rolls toward his corner, desperately tagging in his brother David. David leaps into the ring, hitting Odin with a series of clotheslines, trying to knock the big man off his feet. After several attempts, David finally takes Odin down with a spinning neckbreaker, the crowd roaring in approval.]

Josh Grant:
"David Slayton showing why he’s one of the most dangerous men in ECWF! He’s not backing down from the giants in front of him."

[David stays on the attack, hitting the ropes and delivering a running dropkick to Odin’s face. He goes for a quick cover, but Odin powers out at the count of two, tossing David across the ring. David quickly tags Patrick back in, and the Slaytons begin their own double-team offense, isolating Odin and wearing him down with precision strikes and tandem moves.]

Tom Steiner:
"The Slaytons are tagging in and out like a well-oiled machine. This is why they’re the champions—they know how to control the tempo of a match, no matter who’s across the ring from them."

[But just when the Slaytons seem to have the upper hand, Ares barrels into the ring and takes both brothers down with a double clothesline. The referee, Nick Pack, tries to restore order, but the War Gods are in full control again. Ares and Odin drag Patrick to the corner, setting him up for a devastating double powerbomb, but David rushes in to break it up, saving his brother at the last second.]

Josh Grant:
"Chaos is breaking loose! Both teams are pulling out all the stops, and this match is turning into an all-out war!"

[As the match rages on, the War Gods isolate Patrick once more, delivering punishing blows and wearing him down. Ares sets up for a big boot, but Patrick ducks under, causing Ares to get caught in the ropes. Seizing the opportunity, Patrick crawls toward David and makes the hot tag!]

Tom Steiner:
"Here comes David Slayton! He’s fresh and ready to go!"

[David storms into the ring, hitting Odin with a running forearm, followed by a spinning DDT that plants the big man in the center of the ring. David climbs to the top rope, looking to finish Odin off with a high-flying maneuver. He leaps off, nailing Odin with a diving elbow drop. David covers Odin, but Ares breaks up the pin at two!]

Josh Grant:
"So close! The Slaytons almost retained their titles right there!"

[With all four men now in the ring, chaos ensues. Ares and Patrick brawl on the outside while David and Odin trade heavy blows in the ring. Odin attempts a huge powerbomb, but David slips out and hits The Apocalypse Now (Elevated single underhook single leg gutbuster/Taiji Ishimori's "Bloody Cross") sending Odin crashing to the mat.]

Tom Steiner:
The Apocalypse Now!  David Slayton just took Odin down!"

[David tags Patrick back in, and together, the Slaytons deliver a devastating double team powerbomb on Odin. Patrick quickly covers him as Nick Pack counts.]

1… 2… 3!

Sam Sparx:
"Here are your winners, and still the ECWF World Tag Team Champions… Patrick and David Slayton—the Slaytons!"

["Du Hast" by Motionless in White plays as the Slaytons are handed their Tag Team Titles, holding them high in the air. David also grabs the ECWF Heavyweight Title, taunting the crowd as they stand tall over the fallen War Gods.]

Josh Grant:
"The Slaytons retain the Tag Team Championships in what was an absolute war, but you can’t deny that the War Gods gave them one hell of a fight."

Tom Steiner:
"Love them or hate them, the Slaytons are proving that they’re not just Tag Team Champions—they’re power players in ECWF. And with that Heavyweight Title in their possession, they’ve got Caine Marik in their sights."

[The War Gods roll out of the ring, battered and bruised, but the Slaytons stand tall, titles in hand, as the crowd gives them a mixed reaction. The Slaytons’ reign of dominance continues, but the War Gods have proven they are not to be underestimated.]


WINNERS and STILL CHAMPIONS: THE SLAYTONS

Main Event - covered Steel Cage for the ECWF Heavyweight Championship

Caine Marik (c) vs. Victor Kall

[The anticipation in the Scheels Center is at a fever pitch as the steel cage is lowered over the ring, trapping both Caine Marik and Victor Kall inside. The crowd is buzzing for what promises to be an epic conclusion to ECWF’s Grave Consequences pay-per-view.]

Josh Grant (commentary):
"This is it, folks—the main event. The ECWF Heavyweight Championship on the line, inside a covered steel cage. Caine Marik has held the title with an iron grip, but tonight, Victor Kall looks to reclaim the gold and end Marik’s reign in the most brutal way possible."

Tom Steiner (commentary):
"These two have a long history, Josh. Victor Kall, the former champion, is looking to win back the title he believes is rightfully his, while Caine Marik will do anything to keep it. And with the cage surrounding them, there’s no escape until one man stands victorious."

[Sam Sparx enters the ring, standing under the cage’s cold steel beams, microphone in hand.]

Sam Sparx (ring announcer):
"The following contest is the main event of the evening, and it is a covered steel cage match for the ECWF Heavyweight Championship! The only way to win is by pinfall or submission inside the ring!"

The lights in the arena dim as the cage settles around ringside, but the stage lights stay on, keeping the entrance brighter than the building. After a few seconds, the opening to "Tubular Bells" fills the arena, made famous for being the theme to The Exorcist. The familiar instrumental continues for about 15 seconds before a shrill scream interrupts the music and all the house and stage lights are turned off.



The only illumination comes from the lights of cell phones and the only sounds from the fans. In the darkness, someone begins to cry, sounds of despair being piped in through the p.a. system. The cries increase in volume until they start to blend into an insane laughter, rolling loudly through the arena. After about ten seconds, the laughter cuts abruptly, and a light keyboard and low guitar could be heard. As they pick up a little bit of sound, two of the stage lights gradually turn on, illuminating fog that has started to rise from the entrance. The keys stop, just the guitar plays almost inaudible now and the lights turn back off.



The music crescendos with a wave of sludgy electric guitar sounds, a subtle, sinister bass and near violent drumming, and the stage lights all come on at once in a hue of blood red. Standing in the fog with his head bowed is Victor Kall, dressed in black pants and a long, black trench coat. As the music blasts around him, he raises his face, and the once familiar ghostly powder has been replaced with crimson, extending up to his now dyed red hair. For good measure, he wears contacts which make his eyes pitch black with no pupils. As the song "Night Terror" by Dream Theater continues, he walks down the ramp slowly, red ramp lights turning on when he reaches them, then abruptly turning off as he passes, only for a new set to turn on in sync with his approach to the ring.



Upon reaching ringside, he shrugs off the trench coat and keeps walking. The cage door is already propped open, and giving the referee a cursory glance, he steps into the cage and through the ropes. He doesn't stop to pose in the ring, but instead turns and leans against the ropes and cage opposite of the entrance. Victor climbs backwards up until he places his feet on the top rope, leaning back against the cage. He stares motionless at the entrance while his music dies down, and the house lights come back.

Sam Sparx:
"Introducing first, the challenger… from Canaan, Vermont, weighing in at 202 pounds… Victor Kall!"

[Kall enters the cage, his face an unreadable mask of intensity. He gazes around at the structure, perhaps drawing strength from its unforgiving steel. He knows this match could be his key to redemption.]

Josh Grant:
"Kall has made it clear—tonight is about redemption. He lost the ECWF Heavyweight Championship to Caine Marik, but tonight, he has the chance to reclaim it inside this brutal environment."

[The atmosphere shifts as “Hellraiser” by Ozzy Osbourne & Lemmy blares through the speakers. Caine Marik, the reigning champion, steps onto the stage. His presence radiates power as he carries himself with supreme confidence. The ECWF Heavyweight Title gleams around his waist as he walks toward the cage, ready for war.]

Sam Sparx:
"And his opponent, from Salem, Massachusetts, weighing in at 245 pounds… he is the reigning and defending ECWF Heavyweight Champion… Caine Marik!"

[Marik steps inside the steel cage, locking eyes with Kall. The tension between the two is palpable. Referee Mark Jenkins holds the Heavyweight Title high for all to see before the cage door slams shut behind Marik. The bell rings, and the match begins.]

[As soon as the bell rings, Kall sprints across the ring, leaping at Marik with a barrage of stiff strikes. Kall’s speed is on full display, overwhelming the larger champion with his relentless assault. Marik tries to create separation, shoving Kall away, but the challenger keeps coming, hitting a series of rapid kicks to Marik’s legs and midsection.]

Josh Grant:
"Victor Kall is wasting no time! He’s attacking with everything he’s got, using his speed and technical prowess to keep the larger Marik off balance!"

[Marik finally catches Kall mid-strike and throws him into the cage wall, sending Kall crashing into the unforgiving steel. The impact rattles the cage, and Kall crumples to the mat. Marik, now in control, grabs Kall by the throat and slams him hard into the corner, laying into him with heavy forearm shots.]

Tom Steiner:
"Marik’s power is undeniable. One shot from him can change the entire complexion of the match."

[Marik whips Kall across the ring into the opposite corner and charges in, but Kall rolls out of the way, causing Marik to crash shoulder-first into the cage. Kall capitalizes, climbing to the second rope and delivering a diving dropkick that sends Marik sprawling. Kall covers, but Marik powers out at two.]

Josh Grant:
"Victor Kall is proving just how dangerous he can be inside that cage, but it’s going to take a lot more than that to keep the champion down."

[The match takes a wild turn as both men brawl around the cage. Kall uses his speed to evade Marik’s power moves, darting in and out with precision strikes. At one point, Kall climbs the cage, attempting to leap off the top, but Marik catches him mid-air and slams him down with a thunderous spinebuster. The crowd erupts as Marik covers, but Kall kicks out at the last possible second.]

Tom Steiner:
"That spinebuster shook the ring! But somehow, someway, Kall found the will to kick out!"

[Marik grows frustrated, dragging Kall up and attempting a powerbomb. But Kall counters, flipping out of it and landing on his feet. He catches Marik with a Burning Hammer neckbreaker, driving the champion’s head into the mat. Kall covers, but again, Marik powers out at two.]

Josh Grant:
"Kall is pulling out everything in his arsenal, but Marik just keeps getting up! The resilience of the champion is unmatched!"

[The match reaches its crescendo as both men, bloodied and battered, trade blows in the center of the ring. Marik hits a devastating Hellraiser Slam (spinning sitout powerbomb), but Kall kicks out once again, refusing to stay down. Marik is furious, dragging Kall toward the ropes and attempting to grind his face into the steel mesh. But Kall fights back, catching Marik with a knee to the gut, followed by a quick DDT that plants the champion face-first into the mat.]

Tom Steiner:
"Neither man will quit! What will it take for one of them to stay down?"

[With both men down, the crowd is on the edge of their seats. Kall slowly gets to his feet, stalking Marik. As Marik rises, Kall sets him up for his devastating finisher. He hooks Marik’s head and arm, twisting his body and delivering the Burn Cycle (twisting fisherman’s suplex) with thunderous impact in the center of the ring.]

Josh Grant:
"Burn Cycle! Kall hit the Burn Cycle! This could be it!"

[Kall crawls over and hooks the leg for the cover. Referee Mark Jenkins drops to the mat.]

1… 2… 3!

Sam Sparx:
"Here is your winner, and new ECWF Heavyweight Champion… Victor Kall!"

[The crowd erupts as Kall rolls off Marik, victorious. The cage begins to lift, and Kall slides out of the ring, clutching his newly won championship with an almost maniacal look of satisfaction on his face.]

[But as Kall celebrates, the cheers quickly turn to boos as the Slaytons—David and Patrick—appear at the top of the ramp. David Slayton has the ECWF Heavyweight Title belt that they’ve been holding hostage slung over his shoulder. The Slaytons march down to the ring, sliding in as Kall wisely keeps his distance outside the ring.]

Josh Grant:
"Here come the Slaytons, and they don’t look happy about what just happened!"

[David and Patrick stand over a fallen Caine Marik, who is just beginning to stir after his brutal loss. David, with the title belt still on his shoulder, looks down at his cousin with contempt.]

David Slayton:
"You thought you could hold onto this title forever, Caine? You thought you were the top dog in this family?"

[Patrick and David both laugh as David starts slapping Caine in the face repeatedly. The crowd boos loudly, but the Slaytons ignore them, continuing their verbal abuse of Marik.]

Tom Steiner:
"This is just sickening. The Slaytons are trying to humiliate Caine after he just went through hell in that cage."

[Caine, beaten and battered, looks up at his cousins, his face a mask of pain and anger. The crowd begins to chant for Marik, rallying behind him. With one last burst of energy, Caine swings his fist and clocks David Slayton in the jaw, sending him staggering back. The crowd roars as Marik then punches Patrick in the face, knocking him back as well.]

Josh Grant:
"Caine Marik’s had enough! He’s not going to take this lying down!"

[The crowd is on their feet as Marik fights back, but the numbers game quickly catches up to him. Patrick recovers and tackles Marik to the mat, while David begins stomping on him viciously. The Slaytons unleash a brutal beatdown on their cousin, stomping him into the ground.]

Tom Steiner:
"Come on! Enough is enough! Somebody’s got to stop this!"

[Before the situation can get any worse, Victor Kall, from the top rope, launches himself into the ring, hitting both Slaytons with a missile dropkick. The impact sends David and Patrick stumbling out of the ring as the crowd erupts in cheers. David drops the ECWF Heavyweight Title in the process, leaving it in the center of the ring.]

Josh Grant:
"Kall just saved Marik! The Slaytons are in retreat!"

[Kall and Marik, both exhausted, slowly rise to their feet. They lock eyes, and the tension in the arena is palpable. Both men glance at the ECWF Heavyweight Championship belt lying between them. The crowd buzzes in anticipation, but before either man can make a move, Patrick slides under the bottom rope and snatches the belt, quickly handing it to David on the outside.]

David Slayton (mockingly):
"This isn’t over, Kall. And as for you, Caine... you’re not even in our league anymore."

[With that, the Slaytons retreat up the ramp, leaving Kall and Marik in the ring, the tension thick between them as Grave Consequences goes off the air.]

Josh Grant (final commentary):
"What a night! Victor Kall is once again the ECWF Heavyweight Champion, but the Slaytons are still lurking. And you have to wonder what this means for Caine Marik’s future."

Tom Steiner:
"This is far from over, Josh. The Slaytons have made it personal, and Victor Kall might have just earned himself a whole new set of enemies."

Josh Grant:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we’ll see you on Monday Night Mayhem!"
