Vega is backstage with a towel around his neck and a bottle of water on his hand as a mic is held up towards him.
Vega: You know, I think it's taken me a while. But I feel I've finally started to click since coming back. But then came Flex Mussel. This man. I don't think I've ever seen a person so detached from reality, but still be so dangerous as an athlete. It's actually impressive. It almost makes me respect him. If he wasn't also a disgusting, sickening coward. I've faced a lot of greats in this business. I remember having a big rivalry with Titus many years ago. The current World Champion. He failed repeatedly to beat me for the Mayhem title. But he was removed from his time in the main event. This time though. I'm facing the former World Champion one Pay-Per-View removed from his title reign. I can't help but feel that makes this a big deal. Which is why I have to win.
================
Elsewhere in the same building, Matt Tastic just walks around in the dark.
Tastic: I've given up EVERYTHING for our match at Unscripted, Mikey. Will it pay off? I have no fucking idea. But at this point, I'm going all or nothing. It's kill or be killed, Mikey. We lay it all on the line!! And as an added bonus, we will close the show. Where we were meant to be. The main event! It's us. 40,000 people will surround us as we do battle, Mikey. Don't let the fear get to you. BECAUSE I WILL!
================
Anderson: This contest will be scheduled for one fall, and it is our Main Event of the evening!
As her music plays pink lights begin to swirl around the stage in a circular pattern, representing the petals of many cherry blossoms falling through the air. A fine mist appears on the stage. She walks down the ramp through the mist, and ascends the stairs, entering between the middle ropes. Afterwards she bows to the side of the hard camera, and awaits her opponent.
Anderson: Introducing first, from Ise, Mei, Japan, weighing 145 pounds, Kagura Ohzora!!!
Cohen: Titus may have gotten the slip on King Mussel last month, but Kagura has proved to be more than worthy to become World champion again.
Connor: But she's still not a champion. Mikey is. I'd still give him the edge going into this contest.
Mikey is late to the ring.. He keeps his head down, plenty going on in his mind. Once in the ring, he slumps in the corner and awaits the match to start.
Anderson: And her opponent, from Southwest, Puerto Rico, Mikey Stormrage!!!
Connor: These past few weeks haven't been kind to Stormrage. But he is still our Elite Openweight Champion, and news broke earlier that he's closing Unscripted in its infamous Hell In A Cell Match. Mikey knows a thing or two about that stipulation - he had his back broken in one against Ty Burna ages ago. But that's all next week. He has to face Kagura even with so much going on in his life.
Cohen: He needs to suck it up with the high school drama. This is do or die time as Tastic said. If Mikey loses tonight, that won't bode well when he has to fight his longtime partner in a career-threatening bout.
DING DING DING
Kagura grabs Mikey's wrist and instantly tosses him with The Second Dance of Yamatohime no Mikoto! His back smacks against the canvas after The Exploder Suplex and Kagura stays on him with rapid palm strikes . Referee Katie Shepard begins the standard five count before ordering Kagura to back away from her opponent. Mikey is barely on his feet as Kagura sweeps his leg and attacks using her knees. Again Shepard with the five count and Kagura backs away. Visibly woozy, Stormrage rolls over to the bottom rope and pulls himself up. Ohzora shuffle sidekicks him though it wasn't strong enough to send him sailing out of the ring. Kagura Irish Whips him across the ring, the Openweight Champ rebounds, and the shrine maiden catches him with a Saito Suplex. She attempts to pin him. It is good for only two.
Cohen: She's running over him. If he doesn't get his head in the game then we may as well award her the TKO.
Connor: It's reasons like these that we need an off-season.
Back up, Mikey runs at her with a clothesline. She dodges, stomps his leg, runs the ropes, and executes The First Dance of Awarawa no Mikoto (Shining Wizard)! The audience is beside themselves. Kagura hooks the leg for the one...two...kickout! Ohzora is audibly laughing. Mikey's bottom lip is busted open. His opponent gets him to his feet and pushes him into a turnbuckle. She backs away, showing the referee she's following the rules. Then she proceeded to bumrush Mikey with a Flying Knee Strike. Mikey fell like a stack of dominoes. Clearly enjoying herself now, the Number One Contender circled the fallen prey with hunger in her eyes. Stormrage crawls towards her. She says something unintelligible in Japanese. He slaps his chest and beckons her to finish what she started. The crowd go silent as Kagura lifts him by his tuff of hair, pulling him to her. Mikey with a Live Más Slam! Signs of life as the Belly-To-Belly connects. It pins her to the mat, but not enough for the three.
Connor: Mikey pulling out his tag team moves tonight. What if that wins him this match? Would be poetic.
Cohen: One slam isn't gonna win this for him. Not with his opponent in line for the World title.
He pants, lifting Kagura up by her arm, and delivers his own Exploder Suplex. Kagura bounces off of the mat with such force she is back on her feet...and chops the back of Mikey's neck! He yelps and places his arm over the hit area, sliding out of the ring in the process. Kagura does not let up, chasing him down at ringside. She knees him in the stomach and lands a throat punch. Kate Shepard: "One!" She stays on him, but Mikey counters by hoisting her up into his arms. Fallaway Slam!!!! The back of her neck and spine strikes flush on the steel stairs. Mikey roars to life as the fans give him their support.
"MIKEY!" "MIKEY!" "MIKEY!" MIKEY!"
"Two!" is spoken but Stormrage pays the referee no mind now. He gathers the geisha into his arms again, and another Fallaway Slam throws Kagura into the protective barrier. Kagura goes limp. Mikey beats his chest and looks at his opponent with a blind fury.
Connor: I...I don't like this side of Stormrage.
Cohen: Yeah. This feels different.
"Three!" and Mikey is on top of Kagura, beating her head into the floor. She cries out but Mikey stops only after he is an exhausted, sweating mess. He rests against the ring apron "Four!" as Kagura tries and fails to get up on her sides. Mikey slaps his own face before going after the shrine maiden again. He whips her into the corner post. Kagura claws at the ring apron and it comes undone - the fabric rips apart, exposing wooden boards underneath the canvas. "Five!" Mikey is a face of stone hoisting her back into his arms. He shouts that it is the end. Kagura gives him a thumb in the eye! Game Over! Game Over is still executed but both combatants are wreathing on the ringside floor "Six!". Mikey rubs at his eye while Kagura is out cold. Katie pleads for one of them to get in the ring already, but is still ignored. "Seven!". The Elite Champion rolls onto his stomach, and begins to crawl to the ring. Kagura lies on her back spreadeagle. "Eight!" He's inches from the edge of the mat, and reaches out for support. Because Kagura ripped away the apron, he found none. "Nine!" Mikey is shouting furiously at himself, and clutches the panel of steel underneath the boards. He pulls himself up. "Ten!" Exasperated, Mikey slumps back down to the floor. Kagura stirs. Katie calls for the bell.
Anderson: As a result of a Double Count Out, this match is rendered No Contest!!!
Connor: He may have won this if he hadn't went mental whipping her into the corner post. Rage only gets a fighter so far.
Cohen: He may have lost if he hadn't went mental too. Either way, something in Mikey snapped, and if this is just a preview of what he'll be in a Cell, then Unscripted will be one hell of a night.
Connor: Kagura wasn't to be outdone in this bout either. Titus has to be home devising a battle strategy after that.
Cohen: Folks it's been a long time comin' but Unscipted is close! Stay tuned.
Kagura sits up, distraught at the outcome. Mikey is breathing heavily, wiping his forehead with the back of his hand. The WZCW watermark with all of its affiliates pops up in the bottom left hand corner to conclude the broadcast.
