==
Lazlo Bennet versus Silas Sage
==
["Song 2" by Blur hits, accompanied by the graphic intro video. As the video fades away, many pyros light up the Supreme Arena in Boston, Mass. Justin "JC" Connor and Mark Young sit at ringside to highlight the action.]
RESULTS: Silas Sage pins Lazlo Bennet
==
Johnny Sands versus Khanrai Senomorye
==
RESULTS: Johnny Sands wins after Tyler Shane interferes and accidentally hits Khanrai in the face with a steel chair, though aiming for Sands

Elizabeth McKenzie's Announcement
==
[As the crowd's murmurs can be heard, all the indoor lighting in the arena turns pink and white, and two spotlights hit the stage. That's when "Sweet Child O' Mine" hits and Elizabeth McKenzie walks out on stage. The crowd starts to cheer as she struts down to the ring, cutting her crisp and beautiful smile at the crowd the whole way. Elizabeth climbs in the ring and tosses her dark blonde hair at the crowd. Everybody quiets down and awaits her announcement as she takes the mic.]
JC: New entrance music from our General Manager...
Mark: Ah. Guns N' Roses. Classic.
Elizabeth McKenzie: Ladies and gentlemen... tonight will be a very historic night. Not only do we have our first ever tag team championships... but we also have Tyler Shane's huge announcement that he just discussed with me backstage. Now, I have my own huge announcement.
JC: Nobody told me about that...
Mark: Nobody tells you anything for a reason...
Elizabeth McKenzie: As you may have noticed, a bunch of stars have been fired from the company. In that list of stars was a lot of our cruiserweights. As of right now... we only have two cruiserweights in this company... and that kind of nullifies the purpose of a cruiserweight belt.
JC: That's right... I never thought about that...
Mark: You don't ever think...
Elizabeth McKenzie: So... effective immediately, the cruiserweight belt is no more. From now on... we have a new set of rules for a new belt. This belt is going to be known as the "Free" belt.
JC: I... nevermind. Whatever I say, you'll find a way to insult me.
Mark: Hah. Admit defeat, JC.
Elizabeth McKenzie: This belt... well... it has no rules. That is, until Shadow decides how to use it. Here's the deal. The reason it's called the Free Belt is because the rules are free. Whoever the "Free" Champion is, they get to decide just what they want to name the belt. They can call it whatever they want.. there's no rules. Also, they get to decide what kind of matches the championships will be held in. For example... let's say our friend Jake Lyon wins the Free Belt. He can choose to call it whatever he wants... lets say he calls it the Blood Belt. Then, he could decide that he wants all title matches to take place with first blood rules.
Mark: I love it!
JC: Uhm... uh...
Mark: Ha! You couldn't think of anything!
Elizabeth McKenzie: So, Shadow... I'll leave this piece of gold at your locker room backstage and pick up the cruiserweight belt. Oh yeah... and sometime before next week's Warfare, you'll need to show up somewhere and explain what you've decided to name this belt and what the rules are.
Mark: I wonder if Shadow will call his belt
the Shadow Belt.
JC: You know what?
Mark: What?
JC: Based on that last comment, I don't have to try and insult you anymore.
You just made yourself look stupid.
Mark: ...huh?
[Elizabeth McKenzie leaves as "Sweet Child O' Mine hits. The entire arena cheers at the new belt as she leaves with it.]
==
Redline versus Mystery Opponent
==
["From the Inside" by Linkin Park hits and the Boston crowd jumps to their feet.]
JC: The entire Supreme Arena is on its feet
for the SUPREME Champion!
[Skye struts out onto the ramp with a smile on her face. She is wearing a
beautiful dress and has Redline's belt over her shoulder. As she smiles at
the crowd, they grow even louder. Skye turns to see Redline walk out
behind her. He smiles at her and takes his belt. The two walk down
to the ring as the crowd chants their names over and over.]
Mark: Tonight, Redline faces a mystery opponent...
JC: Wait a second, Skye's coming over here for something.
[Skye walks over to the announcer's table and picks up a mic. She hands it to Redline and his music fades out.]
Redline: Let me make something perfectly clear! Before this match starts... I'm sick and tired of management throwing these mystery challenges at me. So guess what: next week, I don't want a mystery challenge! I don't care if I don't wrestle... NO MORE MYSTERY CHALLENGERS!
[Redline hands the mic back to Skye and she returns it to ringside. For a few moments, there is a dead silence that grows over the arena. Everybody stands and waits for Redline's challenger.]
JC: The tension in the arena is incredible.
Mark: Everybody's waiting for--
[A loud blast of thunder is heard and the crowd looks up.]
Mark: No way!
["Before I Die" by Mushroomhead hits. The crowd looks up, not believing their eyes. Tyler Shane walks out onto the ramp in his signature torn jeans. As Tyler stops at the top of the ramp, two lightning bolts strike the stage. The smog left from pyros fades away, slowly revealing the smirking face of Tyler Shane. The crowd jumps to their feet in boos and rude chants, showing their hate for Tyler. Tyler ignores it and walks down to the ramp. Shane enters the ring by going up the black steel steps and going in between the ropes. Once in the ring, he gets that familiar smirk on his face once again and looks back and forth at the crowd, almost enjoying their hatred. Out of his pockets he pulls his two elbow pads and he quickly slips them on after he takes his shirt off.]
JC: I'm not believing the boss is out here to take on the champion...
Mark: This is main-event material!
[Tyler Shane enters the ring and stares at Redline. Redline starts to laugh at the challenge and hands his belt to Skye. The two glare at each other for a second, neither daring to move.]
Mark: I just realized that these two guys are pretty evenly matched...
[The bell is rung, signaling the beginning of the match. The two men circle each other, getting warmed up. The Boston crowd is fully behind Redline. Both men lunge at each other, ending with Tyler Shane putting a hammerlock on Redline. Suddenly, Redline spins around and puts a hammerlock of his own on Tyler. The boss twists his wrist around backwards, trying to break the hold. The crowd cheers Redline on, but Tyler Shane gets free enough to take Redline down with an arm drag.]
JC: The electricity between these two men is awesome.
Mark: They really can't stand each other.
[Both men spring back up after the move. Redline glares up at Tyler Shane for a second, wary of him. Tyler Shane taunts Redline, drawing jeers from the crowd. The circling begins again. Redline goes in for a tie-up, but Tyler Shane kicks him in the gut. As Redline bends over, Tyler chops him across the chest a few times, backing him into the ropes. Tyler sends Redline across the ring and on the way back goes for a flapjack. But when Tyler bends down, Redline goes downstairs and hits a dropkick to the knees.]
JC: Great move by Redline.
[Red turns back to Tyler and lifts him in the air. The crowd goes crazy as Redline delivers a ring shaking suplex, hurting Tyler's back. Redline walks over and covers Tyler, but doesn't even get a one count. Redline stands up and turns back to Tyler, shoving him into the corner. Redline lays into him with kicks and punches. As Redline goes to whip Tyler into the other corner, Shane reverses and sends Redline over. Redline stops himself on the corner and jumps to the second rope, then backwards; all in one swift motion. On the way back, though, Tyler Shane delivers a huge dropkick, stopping Redline's springboard assault.]
Mark: Beautiful!
JC: That was an amazing dropkick.
Mark: See? I knew you'd admit it.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
[Redline kicks out of the pin attempt. Tyler Shane puts Redline in a reverse chinlock and the ref bends down. Every time he asks Redline if he gives up, Redline says no. The crowd starts to pick up the momentum, clapping in rhythm to cheer on Redline. Redline begins to get to his feet and Tyler Shane struggles to keep the hold locked in. Redline delivers a few elbows to the stomach, but Tyler fires back with an elbow to the back of the neck. Redline leans against the ropes to catch his breath. As he does, Tyler Shane follows him and kicks him in the gut, followed by a whip across the ring.]
Mark: An Irish whip from Tyler...
[Tyler Shane hip tosses Redline over the top rope on the way back. As Tyler turns around to taunt the fans of Redline, he doesn't notice Redline catch himself on the top rope. Redline walks along the apron, then climbs up to the top rope. The fans begin to cheer, making Tyler wonder. As Tyler turns around, Redline flies off the top rope and hits a high-flying missile dropkick. The crowd goes nuts as Redline flips Tyler over for a cover.]
ONE!
TWO!
TH... KICKOUT!
[Tyler Shane gets out of the pin and quickly rises. Redline lifts Tyler Shane up all the way and punches him in the jaw. Tyler spins back around, only to get chopped across the chest a few times by Redline. Redline whips Tyler across the ring. On the way back, Redline levels Tyler with a huge clothesline. Redline stands up tall after the clothesline and gives a shout, exciting the crowd. The "Redline" chants begin, pumping the Champ up even more. Redline circles the downed Tyler Shane, trying to decide what to do. Eventually, he covers Tyler.]
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
[After the kickout, Redline immediately goes to Tyler Shane's hair and lifts him up. Redline hits a huge kick to the calf of Tyler, dropping him to one knee. Red walks around for a moment, gathering his thoughts. He nails Tyler Shane in the face with a forearm smash, only for the boss to respond with an eye rake. The ref walks over to Tyler, disciplining him. Tyler yells something back at the ref, then kicks Redline in the gut.]
JC: What cheap work by Tyler!
Mark: Cheap? It worked, didn't it?
[Tyler whips Redline across the ring, then waits for him to rebound. Tyler goes to hit Redline, but Redline ducks under the punch and hits a running schoolboy pin.]
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
[Redline stands up, frustrated. As Tyler Shane gets back to his feet, he spins around to face Redline. The two exchange blows for a second, but eventually Redline gets the upper hand. Redline throws fists and kicks at Tyler, not sure what he's hitting. Tyler, getting caught by the sudden burst of energy, gets overwhelmed. Redline grabs Tyler by the neck and plants him with the Redline Effect, followed by the cover.]
ONE!
TWO!
FOOT ON THE ROPE!
[The ref looks up just in time to see Tyler Shane with a foot on the ropes. He forces the pin break. Redline stands up as the crowd jeers the decision. Redline argues with the ref for a second.]
Mark: Pointless.
[Tyler Shane rolls out of the ring, trying to get away for a second. Tyler stumbles around on the outside for a moment, but eventually gets grabbed by the hair. Redline laughs, along with the crowd, as he pulls on Tyler's long hair. Tyler tries to get away, but Redline keeps the hold on his hair and leans over the ropes, smiling. Tyler looks up at Redline, then smiles. Out of nowhere, Dante Romano explodes into the ring. Tyler Shane smiles as Dante lays into Redline with punch after punch.]
JC: What is he doing!?
[The ref rings the bell, calling the match a no contest. Dante begins to
brutally beat Redline, but Redline gets in a little offense. Tyler Shane
grabs a steel chair at ringside and gets into the ring. Dante puts a full
nelson on Redline and holds him for Tyler Shane. Tyler takes the chair and
holds it above his head, then brings it down towards Redline. Suddenly,
Redline pushes back on Dante and uses him as leverage. Redline kicks
forward and kicks the chair back at Tyler. Tyler falls down and Redline
lands sitting down, bringing Dante's chin down on top of his head.]
Mark: Redline's fighting back!
[Redline grabs the chair and tries to swing it at Dante. Dante ducks and
rolls out of the ring. As Redline goes to hit Tyler Shane, Dante pulls him
out of the ring.]
JC: Wait a second... weren't Dante and Tyler
Shane arguing over the issue with Jake Lyon and Tyler Evans last week?
Mark: Yeah... what is up with that?
JC: I guess we'll find out!
[Dante helps Tyler up the ramp as Redline taunts them with the chair in the ring. Redline folds the chair out and sits down in it with a smile. Dante screams something back at Redline, but Redline's attention is on Skye. Skye holds the SUPREME Championship Belt and hands it the Redline. Redline puts it over his shoulder and pulls Skye onto his lap as he sits on the chair. The fans in Boston scream and go nuts as Redline smirks at the defeated Tyler Shane and the outsmarted Dante Romano.]
JC: What a strange turn of events...
Mark: And we're not done yet! If you
think this night has been historic enough, wait for tonight's Main Event!
[Redline folds up the chair and slides it out of the ring, back to the guys at
ringside. Dante and Tyler Shane have already disappeared backstage.
Skye and Redline play to the crowd for several minutes, then head backstage
themselves... leaving an empty ring.]

Main Event
Tag Team Championship
Shadow & RaZ versus Jake Lyon & Heather DiRocco
==
Tina Dobson: The following contest is scheduled for one-fall and is for the SW Tag Team Championship!
["Freak of Nature" by Sinistar hits. The crowd half-heartedly shows any appreciation towards Shadow. As he walks down to the ring, he has a sick smile on his face because of his kidnapping of Heather DiRocco. Suddenly, Shadow's music fades out and "Mental Warp" by the Insane Clown Posse hits. The crowd begins to jeer at RaZ as he cockily walks down the ramp and into the ring.]
Tina Dobson: Introducing first... at a combined weight of 442 pounds... from parts unknown... Shadow and RaZ!
[Tina is drowned out by the crowd, who jeer. As Shadow and RaZ start to jeer, "Take Me Away" by FeFe Dobson hits. The crowd starts to cheer, looking on at whether or not Heather is coming out. After a few minutes with no Heather, the crowd starts to jeer. "Show Me How To Live" by Audioslave hits. The entire arena jeer, angry at Jake for his actions last week. Jake walks out with a half-smile on his face, but it's obvious that he's worried for Heather.]
JC: Well... Jake is going to be handicapped here.
Mark: That's right. With Heather still gone, there's no telling if he'll be able to fight well tonight...
[Tina, not knowing what to say, scoots out of the ring. As Jake climbs in, Shadow and RaZ surround him. Jake stays strong, not flinching at all. As Jake jumps at RaZ, both men jump him at the same time. Suddenly, "Boom" by P.O.D. hits. The crowd is shocked as Tyler Evans explodes down the ramp and into the ring. Evans and Jake take one side of the ring as Shadow and RaZ take the other.]
JC: It's Tyler Evans...
Mark: I don't know if that's legal...
JC: As far as I know, it's not...
[The ref looks around at the teams and signals for the bell to be rung! Jake smiles as Evans gets in the ring. Shadow tags in and begins the first matchup. For a second, Jake and Shadow circle each other. Shadow lunges at Jake for a tie-up, but Lyon sidesteps and puts Shadow in a hammerlock. Shadow struggles against Jake for a second, but eventually reverses the hammerlock and puts Shadow in a front wristlock. Shadow screams in pain, but eventually drops on the ground and tries a somersault to get out of it. Jake keeps the hold locked in, though, and causes Shadow to just end up on his back. Shadow looks up at Jake and kicks his feet up, knocking Lyon off his feet and releasing the hold.]
JC: Great chain wrestling here in the first few moments of this match!
[Jake looks up at Shadow, shocked. The two glare at each other for a second, then Jake starts to applaud Shadow.]
Mark: WHAT
is he doing?
JC: Messing with Shadow’s mind, I think…
[Jake continues to clap, applauding Shadow. Shadow looks around, confused. Jake walks right up to Shadow and continues to clap, then just unceremoniously slaps Shadow across the face. Shadow looks up with a huge handprint across the side of his face. Shadow holds his pained face as Jake tags out to Evans. Evans immediately charges across the ring. As he runs towards Shadow, though, Shadow jumps up and delivers a dropkick to the chest of Evans.]
JC:
Textbook!
Mark: What do you mean textbook? That was sloppy!
[Evans springs to his feet after the dropkick and charges at Shadow for a
clothesline. Shadow moves, though, and leaves RaZ on the apron to take the
charge. RaZ ducks at the last second, though, and headbutts Evans in the gut.
Evans stumbles backwards and turns around. Shadow kicks Evans in the gut and
whips him across the ring. RaZ suddenly gets in the ring at the same moment as
the Irish whip. When Evans comes back across the ring, RaZ and Shadow both
deliver a double-team dropkick to the shins of Tyler Evans. As Evans collapses
to his stomach, he pushes back up to rest on his knees. Suddenly, RaZ and
Shadow both deliver two kicks to the back and chest of Evans at the same time.]
Mark: HEY!
What’s with all the double team?
[After Evans falls over on his back from the double-team, RaZ and Shadow both springboard off of opposite ropes. RaZ hits a perfect springboard elbow drop to the chest and Shadow hits a leg drop to the stomach. The ref starts to get angry with the double team and sends RaZ back out of the ring. As RaZ exits, Shadow drops to his knees and covers Evans.]
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
[Evans kicks both feet up, breaking the count. As Evans attempts to sit back up, Shadow grabs him by the hair, fully controlling Tyler. As Tyler pulls free, Shadow puts an armwrench on Tyler. Tyler holds his arm in pain as Shadow tags out to RaZ. Shadow keeps the hold locked in as RaZ gets in the ring. RaZ jumps up and kicks the pressuRaZ area of Evans’ arm, causing him to scream in pain. RaZ follows up with another armwrench, this time on Evans’ left arm. As Evans struggles to break free, he manages to hit a knee lift on RaZ. As RaZ is momentarily stunned, Evans walks over and tags out to Jake. Jake gets in the ring and charges at RaZ, but gets taken down with a hip toss. RaZ smiles as Jake gets back up, but once again is planted with another hip toss. Jake gets back to his feet, but this time RaZ connects with a huge wheel kick. Both men go down, but RaZ is quickly back on his feet. He puts Jake in a full nelson, then uses one hand to tag Shadow. Shadow, the legal man, goes to the top rope and comes off with a diving kick that connects with Jake. Jake goes flying and RaZ exits the ring.]
Mark: Ah…
more teamwork?
JC: What a great match we’ve had so far!
[Shadow tries to life Jake up, but Jake hits a low-blow while the ref's back is turned. Shadow stumbles backwards, catching himself against the ropes. Jake goes for a jumping calf kick on Shadow and connects, sending Shadow over the top rope and out of the ring. As Shadow crashes to the ground, Jake goes to the outside of the apron. Shadow lay on the ground and Jake springs off the outside of the ropes, going for the Lyonsault.]
Mark: He's nuts!
[Jake nails the Lyonsault, then gets back up to his feet. He picks Shadow
up by the hair and lifts him onto his shoulders. Jake moves to beside the
steel steps and hits a fireman's carry slam on Shadow. Shadow's back is
driven into the steel steps, causing the crowd to flinch along with him.
Jake looks up at the ref, who is counting them out. He pulls Shadow to his
feet and throws him in the ring.]
JC: Wow. Just... wow.
[Jake drops to his knees and covers Shadow.]
ONE!
TWO!
THRE... KICKOUT!
[Shadow kicks out and Jake looks up in disbelief. Jake argues with the ref, but eventually gives up. He turns around and lifts Shadow up, chopping him across the chest a few times. Suddenly, Shadow has a burst of energy and fires a bunch of punches up at Jake. Jake is overtaken as Shadow hits a dropkick. Jake falls down, but quickly gets back to his feet.]
JC: Shadow's back in this!
[As Shadow and Jake go at it in the ring, someone walks out on the ramp. The crowd goes crazy as Heather DiRocco runs down the ramp and makes it to ringside. Jake Lyon pauses for a moment and stares at her. She starts to yell and scream at both of them. As she jumps up onto the apron, Shadow walks over to her and attempts to push her off. Heather hangs on, though, and springboards off of the top rope in a dropkick position. Shadow, who had turned away from her, turns just in time to see her flying towards him. He sidesteps, causing Heather to connect with a dropkick to Jake. Her shoes connect right with his face, knocking him backwards. Before Heather can do anything, RaZ rushes her and knocks her out of the ring. Tyler Evans climbs in and tries to protect Jake, but RaZ grabs him and nails the Evil Intention! Evans gets knocked out and rolled out of the ring, leaving RaZ and Shadow to take on the already hurt Jake.]
JC: I may
not like Jake or Evans that much… but this isn’t fair!
[Shadow smirks and climbs the top rope. RaZ sets up behind Jake. As Jake
starts to get to his feet, he turns around. RaZ nails a huge spear on him,
followed up by Shadow’s Shooting Star Press.]
JC: He
nailed the Shadowlands!
Mark: This is the end!
[RaZ flips over the top rope and lands on top of Tyler Evans to make sure he’s down. Shadow drops back and covers Jake Lyon.]
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
[The crowd starts to jeer… and cheer when the team of Shadow and RaZ win. They are handed the precious tag team belts. Both of them embrace as they hold their belts high in the air.]
JC: They did
it!
Mark: I don’t believe it!
JC: Shadow
and RaZ… the first ever tag team champions!
[The team hug some more and make their way down the ramp. Those two put their
belts on and walk to opposite sides of the entrance ramp. They raise their
hands triumphantly, then make their grand exit.]
JC: Wow…
Mark: What
now?
[Jake rises to his knees with a distraught look on his face. Tyler Evans climbs
in the ring and pats Jake on the back. Heather DiRocco climbs in the ring. She
begins to apologize to Jake. Jake, still upset, turns his back on her and
closes his eyes. She continues to apologize. Suddenly, Jake turns around and
levels Heather DiRocco with a huge clothesline. Heather’s head bounces off the
mat. The crowd begins to jeer.]
JC: No!
Mark: Jake!
What’re you doing!
[Jake and Tyler raise their hands in the air, celebrating. Tyler Shane walks
out onto the ramp, intensifying the jeers. He holds up a hand, quieting the
crowd.]
Tyler Shane:
Everybody! Go ahead… congratulate Tyler Evans and Jake Lyon… for they are the
first contenders to the SW Tag Team Titles!
[Tyler smiles, then begins to walk down the ramp to the ring. As Tyler gets in
the ring, he smirks.]
Tyler Shane: But that’s not the real reason why I’m out here. I’m here to present to you guys the NEW way that SW will be governed! As of right now, certain things are in a state of chaos. We’ve got many people claiming to be first contenders… and we just can’t have that. So, here’s how I’m going to solve this problem…
==
The Ranking System
==
Tyler Shane: From now on… after next week, anyway… Supreme Wrestling will go on a ranking system. Many of you are wondering what exactly this system is. Well, don’t worry about it. You’ll find out right now.
JC: What is this about?
Tyler Shane: The ranking system will include everybody in Supreme Wrestling. Redline, the Supreme Champ, will be at the very top of the list. He will be called "position zero". The first contender at the Supreme Title is at #1. Then, at #4 is Khanrai Senomorye... the American Champion. And guess who's at #5? That's right.. the first contender to the American Belt. Finally, at spot #7, the Cruiserweight... I mean Free Champion. And at spot #8... the Free Belt First Contender. All the other spots will be filled in... but more about that later.
[The crowd have now forgotten about Jake's actions and are listening only to Tyler Shane.]
Tyler Shane: Now... any time there is a match, it's obviously going to be one person with a higher seed and one person with a lower seed. If the person with the higher seed wins, then they get to retain their spot and the loser remains as well. But if the person with the lower seed upsets the man with the higher seed, then they take the higher seed's spot and everybody below that spot gets bumped down.
JC: Try saying that ten times fast...
Tyler Shane: Another rule: if you are ranked above a champion, you can challenge for their belt. The only stipulation is that the champion gets to decide when the match takes place AND the first contender for that belt gets priority over you.
Tyler Shane:
Finally... here's the announcement that I was waiting for. Next week...
Warfare will be a lot different. Only one match will take place that
night. And that match is a little something that I call "Supreme Rumble".
When you arrive in the arena next week, the ringside area will be expanded,
because we have to fit four rings together. When the match starts, the
entire roster (minus Redline) will be scattered among these rings. Four
rings... how will they fit together? Well... for next week only, the rings
here in the Supreme Arena will be six-sided!
Tyler Shane: As everybody is thrown over the top rope and is eliminated, that
will determine what order you are put in in the rankings. If you eliminate
a Champion, you become the first contender to their title... meaning that you
also have to eliminate yourself from the match. This will bring in a lot
of strategy... which title do you want to go for? Do you care about
placing, or do you want to get gold? These questions will be what you're
thinking about next week! Come prepared... because next week will be one
of the most hellacious night ever!
["Before I Die" by Mushroomhead hits. Tyler Shane smiles as he walks
out with Jake Lyon and Tyler Evans behind him.]
JC: What an
announcement!
Mark: Folks... we've run over our time spot already! Good night!
[Roll the credits.]
