[FADEIN: The entranceway as "It Was A Good Day" by Ice Cube is playing as Jared Wells and Larry Tact of Anthology make their way to the ring, both men look supremely confident.]
DT: Anthology now closing in on capturing their second title in EPW, Cameron Cruise has already won the IC Title on the last Aggression and now Jared Wells and Larry Tact seem to be in a prime position to win the tag titles from the Forsaken. The First has already been beaten by Anthology to kick off our show, and on top of that, nobody knows if Felix Red is even in the building or not!
MN: Look, the little punk goth shot his mouth off and he paid for it. As for Felix, I'm sure he's fine doing what he's doing and avoiding a beating from Anthology.
TF: The following contest is set for one fall, and it is for the EPW World Tag Team Championship! Introducing first, representing Anthology, weighing in at a combined weight of 489 pounds...The team of JARED WELLS and LARRY TACT!
[Crowd boos!]
DT: Now the real question is, are they going to have opponents?!
[MUSIC UP: "Never Wanted To Dance" By MSI, TBM remix. The music goes on longer then normal and then after a while The First walks out, wearing a plain white T-Shirt, his black dress pants from earlier in the show. First is barefoot and carrying both tag belts in his hands, he charges into the ring and starts hammering away on Tact!]
DT: Woah! The First charging out here and unloading on Larry Tact..Wells with a BIG CLOTHESLINE to the back of The First's neck sending him hard to the mat...Tact goes to the outside as Wells is hammering away on The First [Bell rings] and now I guess this match is offically underway!
DM: The First trying to get an advantage by just attacking as soon as he hit the ring, but the numbers advantage of Anthology has turned that around on him.
DT: Wells muscles First into the corner and now PUNISHES him with a series of shoulder blocks to the stomach...Wells grabs two handfuls of The First's long hair and just TOSSES HIM to the mat by it!
MN: Man I love Wells! Show freakboy how it's done!
DT: Wells putting the boots to The First now and he tags in Tact. Tact and Wells both stomping away on First as they make the exchange and now Tact throws The First into a corner...He whips The First to the other side...First staggers out...BACKDROP! NO! SUNSET FLIP BY THE FIRST!
ONE!
TWO!
NO!
DT: Tact escapes at two and quickly dives on top of The First and hammers him with a series of big right hands. Tact tags in Wells who gets in a couple punches as Tact holds First's arms...Wells now pushes First into a corner and drives a series of knees into his stomach...Wells scoops The First up and slams him to the mat...Wells drops an elbow and a cover!
ONE!
TWO!
NO!
DT: Wells now flips First onto the mat and a HARD KICK to the back of The First...Wells with a kick to the head and now First thrown back into Anthology's corner! Wells makes the tag and both men hammering away on The First!
DT: Wells and Tact now send The First into the ropes...Double back elbow! The First is rocked and he staggers into the ropes...The ref trying to get Wells to leave the ring now, Wells giving the ref static back as Tact now goes over to The First...WHO SPITS GREEN MIST IN HIS FACE!
MN: WHAT?! That's illegal! WAIT...He's trying to get DQ'ed! The nerve!
DT: The ref still with Wells who's now fighting to get back into the ring as First unloads with a series of kicks to Tact...First off the ropes...SPINNING HEEL KICK! A COVER! THE REF SWOOPS OVER!
ONE!
TWO!
NO!
DT: Tact kicks out! Tact still appears to be blinded as he gets to his feet and takes a series of rights from The First...Who now connects with a FOOTSWEEP! First quickly off the ropes...LEGDROP! HE COVERS!
ONE!
TWO!
NO!
DT: Tact gets the shoulder off the mat at two...Both men back up...Tact with a quick rake of the eyes and he gets the tag to Wells who comes in and DRILLS First with a couple right hands...First sent into the ropes...SPINEBUSTER BY WELLS! Wells back to his feet with a sick look on his face...
MN: It's called confidence, he knows he's got this thing in the bag, him and Tact are just toying with this idiot!
DT: Wells now grabs The First and hooks him...INVERTED DDT! He plants The First and now makes a cover!
ONE!

DT: First kicked out!! Wells makes the tag to Tact and tells Tact to end this thing...Tact picks The First up and sends him to the ropes...FIRST WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK! Tact just got blindsided! First quickly to his feet firing right hands at Tact who's rocked...Tact drops to one knee...FIRST OFF THE ROPES WITH A SHINING WIZARD!! BOTH MEN DOWN!
DM: The problem for The First is that he doesn't have a partner to tag, if Tact can make it to his corner, Wells will be ready to come in and continue the beating!
[Suddenly the crowd pops HUGE as a shirtless, kind of crazed looking Felix Red, wearing black dickies with his dreads pulled into a giant ponytail. Felix hops over the railing and stands in the corner, looking for a tag!]
DT: FELIX RED IS HERE! TACT MAKES THE TAG...FIRST MAKES THE TAG AS WELL!! FELIX ALL OVER JARED WELLS WITH RIGHTS AND LEFTS! Wells staggered and sent for the ride...BIG BACK BODY DROP! Wells staggering to his feet and now Tact is back in the ring and he's being hammered away on by Felix, now The First is back in there and fighting away with Tact.
DM: The ref has lost all control of this match, this is complete chaos!

CRUISE SLIDES OUT OF THE RING AS TACT PULLS FIRST OUT OF THE RING WITH HIM!!! THE REF TURNS AROUND AND SEES WELLS PINNING FELIX!!!

DT: The First tried to get into the ring to make the save but Cruise just KNOCKED HIM COLD WITH THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE BELT! [bell rings!] WE HAVE NEW CHAMPIONS!
[MUSIC UP: "It Was A Good Day" by Ice Cube as the crowd is booing]
TF: The winners of this contest...AND NEW...EPW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!! JARED WELLS AND LARRY TACT OF ANTHOLOGY!!!
DT: The Forsaken's over year long run with the tag titles has ended tonight in controversal fashion to say the least...What more can happen tonight?! We'll be right back.
DT: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm getting word that KENNY LOMBARDO is currently backstage with the owner and general manager of Empire Pro, LINDSAY TROY, who has a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT involving the main event of the forthcoming professional wrestling extravaganza, WRESLEVERSE!
[Cut to backstage, outside the office of EPW Owner and CEO, Lindsay Troy. Standing nearby is Kenny Lombardo with a mic in hand.]
LOMBARDO: Ms. Troy, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to give the fans this opportunity to learn about what they can expect from the upcoming EPW Pay Per View! We've all been left wondering what you've had in mind for the main event of Wrestleverse... so here, on the last show until the PPV event, could you give us some insight on your plans?
TROY: Certainly, Kenny. As you know, WRESTLEVERSE is our grand-daddy of shows here at Empire Pro. First thing’s first….as a result of what just happened tonight – Jared Wells and Larry Tact will defend the EPW World Tag Team Titles against Felix Red and a partner of his choosing.
LOMBARDO: Partner of his choosing? What about The First?
TROY: I have other plans for him. As a result of Cameron Cruise’s involvement out there tonight, he will defend the EPW Intercontinental Title against The First at Wrestleverse.
[crowd pop]
TROY: Now ………over the past few months, I've had the task of thinking of what would be the perfect headliner for one such event. Sad to say, Kenny... for weeks, my mind was drawing a blank. But that isn't the case anymore. Recent events have come to light, and after much deliberation, I have a main event planned for Wrestleverse that the loyal Empire Pro Wrestling fans won't soon forget. Of course, the title match will feature the reigning champion, "TRIPLE X" SEAN STEVENS...
[Crowd BOOS loudly.]
TROY: And he'll be defending his title against.. JERICOHOLIC ANONYMOUS!!
[Crowd POPS wildly!]
TROY: AND...
LOMBARDO: AND?!
TROY: That's right, Kenny. The main event of Wrestleverse will be a TRIPLE THREAT MATCH for the title.
LOMBARDO: Then... who's the third competitor?
[A wry smile forms on the EPW owner's face.]
TROY: You'll find out before the night is through, Kenny. Just keep watching.
[Gently patting the reporter on the shoulder, Troy retreats back into her office. We cut back to the commentary table.]
DT: Oh man, a TRIPLE THREAT MAIN EVENT scheduled to headline WRESTLEVERSE!! But now the question remains... who will be the third man to join the champion "TRIPLE X" SEAN STEVENS and the fan favorite JERICOHOLIC ANONYMOUS in that monumental match?
DM: Well, the good news is that we'll find out before the night's over.
MN: But the night's ALMOST over!
DM: Yeah, so you should probably put the screwdriver down and stay awake, Neels.
MN: Don't you tell me how to live my life, Dean!
DT: We've got the main event up next, fans! A REMATCH between two men who will meet each other again at Wrestleverse! Stay tuned!
