Normal Singles Match; T-Dog vs The Bard

The Bard would love to pick up some momentum in the power rankings by getting a huge win over a preoccupied TDog, and in the early going it looks like The Bard might be able to one up the chairman of WWEP. TDog fails to utilize his strength to pick up The Bard for any big power moves, giving The Bard the opportunity to come down on TDog with a clothesline from hell out of nowhere, followed up with a devastating Vader Bomb from the ropes onto a defenseless TDog! But as The Bard goes to pick up the victory on TDog, the opportunistic chairman is able to get his foot on the bottom rope to break the count. The Bard looks like he is about to snap as he starts screaming at the referee, threatening to EAT HIM ALIVE! But just as his back is turned and he is preoccupied with the referee, TDog is able to struggle back up to his feet and dart at The Bard with his Crossroads! IT'S ALL OVER! TDog covers The Bard for the victory, and solidifies his spot in the power rankings.

After the match is over, The Bard starts to completely snap and starts banging his head viciously on the top turnbuckle several times before quickly turning his attention to the referee. The referee tries to jump out of the ring to avoid The Bard, but the Bard comes darting in like a raging bull and lands a violent and destructive Boston Knee Party on the referee! The Bard isn't finished yet though and he starts to wrap his hands around the throat of the referee and starts to choke him viciously, wanting to literally squeeze the life out of Earl Hebner! Several WWEP officials run down to the ring to pull The Bard off of Hebner, but the damage has clearly already been done. The Bard puts his horse head back over his shoulders and starts to let out a YEEEYAYYYYYYY before being carried out by the officials from ringside.

"An Enforcer is what's needed"

Cameras open up from the commercial break to show Stacy Bryan standing in front of several television screens with a stern and solemn look on her face, as she faces the camera.

"My brother and Chairman T-Dog wanted to ensure that tonight's Title Match didn't go the way Austin Michael Pieper vs Darren Cox did at Clash of Champions, surrounded with controversy due to an officiating debacle. And I agree with him. Which is why he's the Special Guest Referee in the match with Austin vs. My husband.

However, Ryan thinks this entire thing is a ruse to stick Austin as the winner, and by banning The Kingdom from ringside....puts him at a disadvantage. Now, of course, I can't cancel the Chairmanship orders...but I'm still the General Manager around here and I can make modifications. And after much deliberation with me, my husband wanted me to ensure there was no officiating doubts this time by making his partner Darren Cox as the Special Guest Enforcer. But I'm not going to give him exactly what he wants.

In the main event tonight, Tyler Johnson will remain Special Guest Referee but Ashley Cox will work as the Special Guest Enforcer. She will validate or invalidate referee decisions by giving insight from ringside, and perspective...if TDog is distracted, and will take over as referee if TDog is downed.

Also, just like the rest of The Kingdom, The Hierarchy is banned from ringside as well." - Stacy Bryan

"Adam is on his STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN!!!"

The scene switches to show the King of the Mountain #1 contender Adam Stewart walking down to the ring holding onto his "Shelia" baseball bat and nail closely up to his face. Commentary builds up how it was announced earlier in the night that Adam would be offering up a one on one interview in the center of the ring for the fans to ask him anything they want. Stewart starts pacing back and forth around the ring like a madman, with his tongue stuck out biting his bottom lip. Jacob Bryant squeezes into the ring to catch a word with the #1 contender.

"Ladies and gentlemen it was announced a week ago by the Chairman of WWEP that "The Warrior" Cody Miller was gonna be forced to defend his King of the Mountain Championship against the former champion Adam Stewart. We have seen the depths that both these men will go to in order to walk out as champion, but Adam I think we all have to question. What is your game plan going into this match with Cody Miller this Sunday night at Hell in a Cell, and with the rematch clause not withstanding in WWEP, what did you have to give up to Miller in order to get this title rematch?" - Jacob Bryant

"Ahhhhhhh...*breathing heavily* This Sunday night is the day of reckoning for Cody Miller. Mmmmm yeahhh!!! Ahhhh! Shelia and I...ha ha yeah! Shelia and I are gonna have a BALL with Cody Mil...." - Adam Stewart

All of a sudden out of nowhere, Stewart is immediately cut short in his promo by tag team champion Ben Conners and King of the Mountain Champion Cody Miller jumping into the ring and slamming the #1 contender from behind with two light tubes to the back of the head! BAM! Stewart goes down like a sack of bricks and Miller along with Conners just start to wail on Stewart as hard as they can with some of the stiffest shots ever seen!

Conners takes his mighty fists and grabs Stewart by his hair, holding his head up while Stewart just looks in a daze, completely knocked out by that vicious shot to the back of his head with the light tubes. Cody has his King of the Mountain Championship belt strapped tightly around his waist as he flaunts it for a few moments before picking up the microphone on the mat and getting right in Adam's face. Cody looks at Adam with wide eyes as Conners just pulls harder and harder on his hair.

"Ohhhhh so Mr Number One Contender forgot to tell all his FANS...all his MANIACS...what the King of the Mountain strong armed in return for this rematch on Sunday. Ha ha ha! Come on Wild Man...mmmm...telllll allllllll your mannnnniacssss what the King of the Mountain gets in return!" - Cody Miller

Ben starts laughing with Cody as they move Adam's mouth up and down mouthing, "The King of the Mountain gets to retain his championship belt in any match he wants!" Cody rares back and starts punching Adam in the face several times before biting his forehead, causing blood to start gushing from Stewart's forehead.

"Ha ha! That's right! You may have gotten the match Adam....but I CHOOSE the match! I CHOOSE the environment! I CHOOSE YOUR HELL!!!" - Cody Miller

Cody starts laughing maniacally before he picks up one of the shattered light tubes and starts scraping at Stewart's face, slowly wanting the glass to rip away at each and every single follicle on his face.

"It's gonna be your chance to climb that STAIRWAYYY TO HEAVENNNN!!! You and me Wiiiiiiilddddmannnn, STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN MATCH! One walks out the King of the Mountain Champion....while the other is SENT TO HIS STAIRWAY....TO....HEAVEN!!" - Cody Miller

Cody and Ben pick up Stewart and drop him down viciously on the debri from the shattered light tubes with a devastating double power bomb back first on the glass!! Miller unfastens his championship belt and throws his head back with the title draped over the bloody body of Adam Stewart as cameras fade to a commercial break.

WWEP Intercontinental Championship Match; Austin Michael Pieper vs RJ Stagg

The two rivals stay across from each other as the bell rings just once. The entire arena is on their feet. TDog is holding the championship in the center of the ring. Ashley, donning her own referee gear, is standing at ringside.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your MAIN EVENT" The announcer begins to a huge pop of the crowd. "The following contest is scheduled for one fall, with no time limit, and it is for the WWEP INTERCONTINENTAL HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!"

He points to Austin: "Introducing first, he is a finalist in the WWEP Intercontinental Championship Tournament. With a record of 3 wins and 2 defeats. He weighs in tonight at 175 lbs, and scaling 6 feet tall, 0 inches. Hailing from CINNNNNCIIIITTYYY....he is a former Universal Champion....Austinnnn Michaelllllll PIEPER!"

Austin throws up The Brotherhood fist, and the crowd responds in kind. They are cheering his name and building the atmosphere as the announcer begins again: "Introducing second, he is also a finalist in the WWEP Intercontinetal Championship Tournament. With a record of 3 wins and 1 defeat. He weighs in tonight at 320 lbs, and scaling 6 feet and 3 inches. Hailing from Los Angeles, California....he is a former WWEP Universal and Heavyweight Champion of the World...R-J-STAGG!!"

The arena rains down boo's as Stagg poses and presents himself to the people that he despises so much, and in return despise him.

TDog presents the Intercontinental Championship to both men and then raises it in the air. That's what it's all about. It's a journey that started back in May and will finally crown a champion in the third WWEP Championship League. TDog rings the bell.

"Let's go Austin!" "R-J-Sucks!" "Let's go Austin!" "R-J-Sucks!"

The two men circle each other for a few moments and really embrace the energy of the building. They lock up in a traditional collar & elbow tie up, but Stagg quickly overpowers him and locks up Piepers head under his arm. Austin remains calm and shoves Ryan into the ropes!

Ryan ricochets back at Austin, but Austin dives down, Stagg hops over him and runs into the adjacent ropes. Austin shoots back up and prepares to catch him with a hip-toss, but Stagg surprises him with a Monkey Flip on the rebound!! A very untraditional move in Staggs arsenal! Stagg flips Austin into the nearest turnbuckle and shoots back to his feet. Grin on his face. He knows he just took his competitor completely by surprise.

Austin recovers in the corner and stares across the ring from Stagg, who is now taunting him to try something else!

Austin gets up and holds his hand out to lock up with a test of strength. Stagg smiles and holds his paw out as well. As soon as the two lock fingers, Austin then surprises Ryan with a stiff knee to the gut, quickly followed up with a European Uppercut and then a back elbow strike that crushes Ryans nose!!

Ryan is stunned. Austin struck so fast that he didn't even process that he was hit three times! Ryan hits his knees, and Austin backs up to plunge a Shining Wizard knee into Staggs unruly face, but the veteran rolls to the ringside and recovers.

The camera focuses on Stagg, who's nose has been completely busted! Crimson red blood is now oozing from his face!! Austin strikes blood early and matches Staggs surprise with a new style of his own! Both men have been at odds for so long that they have began to master new wrestling styles to gain the upper hand here. A full on chess match is underway here.

Austin doesn't want to slow down the barrage and give Stagg enough time to regroup. Stagg, heads over to Ashley and the two begin to talk privately. Austin heads into the ropes and DIVES OUTSIDE THE RING ON TOP OF BOTH OF THEM!!! Austin lifts up Ryan and starts to drag him into the ring, but Ryan shoves Austin head first into the ring post!

Ashley is pissed that Austin put his hands on the official ENFORCER, so, she jumps in the ring to bitch to TDog. But it's shown to be a ruse, because she begins to fight with him while his back is turned from the action. A well orchestrated plan, as Ryan quickly kicks Austin in the crotch and throws him back in the ring!

It has been an absolute war between these two men. Both have brought out classic moves that got them here and new styles. A more high flying, and more risk filled style for Stagg and a more methodical and strike-based offense for Austin. Ryan even hit a Shooting Star Press from the top rope, onto the announce table which destroyed both men.

Austin and Stagg are fighting back and forth, but Austin fires a stiff right into the now broken nose of RJ Stagg! Stagg hits the mat, as for the first time in history, RJ Stagg has been out-strikes in a match!!

Austin heads to the top rope and taunts Stagg back to his feet. Looking for a top rope, standing leg drop on The Great Kavortha!! Austin launches out but Stagg catches him with a kick to the gut!! Quickly hooks the arms behind his back and hits him with a PEDIGREE!! Ryan hooks the leg:

1-2- AUSTIN KICKS OUT!! AUSTIN OUTLASTS THE PEDIGREE!!

Stagg doesn't believe it and gets in TDogs face. TDog assures him it was a 2 count. Stagg turns right back to Austin and drags him to the nearest turnbuckle. He carries Austin to the top rope and sets him up for the AVALANCHE PEDIGREE!!!

Austins limp body is unresponsive as Stagg drags him to the middle of the ring, talks smack in TDogs face, and goes for the pin:

1-

2----

.......

The crowd gasps as Stagg has Austin dead to rights but TDog refuses to count the 3. The crowd is cheering for TDog and Austinm but some boo's begin to leak out as they abated a fair fight.

Fire is blistering in Ryans eyes as he shoots up; "You son of a bitch!!"

TDog tells him to calm down or he will disqualify him! Ryan doesn't give a shit though and goes after him. Ashley Cox slides a chair in the ring but Stagg doesn't notice! Ryan kicks TDog in the gut and hits him with a Pedigree!! The referee is out in the ring!!

Ashley Cox hops in the ring to take over as referee. The two former rivals, turned allies, then begin to dispose of TDog by throwing him out of the ring. Ashley turns around---BAM!! Cox goes down as Austin is back to his feet and armed with a chair!! Stagg can't believe it as Austin throws the chair down and hits Stagg with a CINCITY DRIVER ON THE STEEL!! Austin covers him but both referees are down!! The crowd is counting!!

Suddenly, George Amuah-Niamkey comes rushing down to the scene with a referee on his back!! Quickly shoves the little man in the ring and he begins the count:

1-2-STAGG KICKS OUT!!

Austin shows a look of frustration as he turns to ringside! George is still by his partners side at ringside. Christian has now come down to join the fray as well but he's attacked at the ramp by Staggs partner Darren Cox! Austin rolls over to his back and is barely able to move from the exhaustion. He pulls to his knees. Stagg is still knocked out cold. Blood has covered his face completely.

But Austin hears a loud thud behind him. He turns and sees Ashley Cox is back to her feet and she hit a V Trigger on Georges replacement referee!! Austin is shocked but he doesn't get enough time to react as Ashley scoops him up and hits him with a ONE WINGED ANGEL!!

George jumps in the ring and tackles Ashley to ringside!! Christian and Darren have now brought the fight into the crowd!! Ashley and George are fighting at ringside!! All hell has broken loose when suddenly: PYRO ERUPTS. It's Tony Murr!! The crowd has exploded from their seats!!

The Heart of the Prestige makes his way down to the ring and picks up the chair. Stagg has now stumbled back to his feet but Tony unapologetically wraps that chair around his head with a skull crushing shot!! The same type of shot he delivered at his wedding months ago!! Blood stains the steel as Stagg is dropped!!

He lifts Austin up and drags him on top of Stagg and exits the ring!! AUSTIN BEGINS TO COME ALIVE BUT THERES NO REFEREE. Austin is slapping the mat and calling for ANYONE TO COME OUT!! But the Chairman of the WWEP has now come back to life and crawls inside the ring! He begins to count the pin:

1....

2...

--STAGG KICKS OUT!!!

The crowd is beyond chanting "This is awesome!". The crowd is nearly as exhausted as Stagg and Pieper are but just like them...nobody is willing to quit. Both men roll up to their knees and back tot their feet.

The two men lock horns and scream in each other's faces as an all out slightest begins!!! The arena I shaking with each strike!!

Ryan goes for the Pedigree!

Austin grabs the wrist and twists out! Austin in turn goes for the CinCity Driver, but Stagg counters and lifts Austin up on his back! He throws him around and gets him set for the GTS!!

Austin stays standing but barely as Ryan tries to compete his One Percenter!! Ryan come shooting back but Stagg is caught with a GLORIOUS KNEE FROM AUSTIN!! AUSTIN BUSTS OUT TDOGS OLD MOVE THAT HE USED TO BEAT STAGG AT WRESTLEMANIA!!!

Ryan goes down!! Barely able to move!! TDog falls to his knees from shock in the corner of the ring!! The crowd is on their feet as Austin signals it one last time before hitting Stagg with a CINCITY DRIVERRRRR!!! He hooks the leg and TDog counts the pin:

1-2-3!!

Washington DC becomes unglued as Austin Michael Pieper is officially named the winner and the inaugural WWEP Intercontinental Champion!!! Pieper celebrates quite possibly the biggest win of career as Christian and George join him in the ring!!

Stagg is laid out at ringside, still halfway unconscious, but is being treated by professionals. He tried every trick and was resilient to the bitter end.

The first ever Intercontinental Champion stands tall with the adoring fans as Tony watches from the top of the stage...proud of what he did to the son of a bitch known as RJ Stagg. TDog presents the championship that he wanted so bad...to the man, who months earlier gave him a 5 star match at the first ever AEW event....and is now champion on the first AEW show.

NXT Dynamite ends with Austin standing tall with the gold at the top of the turnbuckle.
