SEGMENT ONE
The camera pans across a high-tech conference room inside the Albany Civic Center, with banners of BWM Inc. legends decorating the room and the monitors displaying the BWM Inc. logo. At the head of the room behind a podium stands BWM Inc. Chairman Benny Mouse, dressed in a sharp suit with a confident smile adorned on his face. Benny puts on a pair of reading glasses as he clears his throat, glancing subtlety off-screen as he begins his address.
Benny Mouse: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to All Elite Wrestling Dynamite, the number one professional wrestling show in the world! Tonight, I stand before you and the world to address the allegations that have been circulating in the media for the past month.
He pauses briefly, his expression firm as he continues.
Benny Mouse: Allegations that I, Benny Mouse, have battled dementia since the summer of 2008.
Benny pauses again, briefly glancing off screen.
Benny Mouse: Let me be unequivocally clear here… these accusations are meritless and completely false. I assure you all that I am in 100% control of not only BWM Inc. and All Elite Wrestling, but my mental faculties as well.
The camera zooms in slightly, catching a subtle flicker of uncertainty in Benny’s eyes as it’s now clear he’s reading from a teleprompter just off screen.
Benny Mouse: Throughout the years, my brothers and I have faced numerous challenges and obstacles from those who wish to see us removed from our positions of power. Though we have obtained our powers through different means, the one thing that is clear is that we’re the subject of jealousy and envy, and we’ve often become targets for the greedy and those who are looking to make a name for themselves. However, of all the slander my family has faced over the past 27 years, these allegations have been the most humiliating.
Benny emphasizes each word with conviction, his voice unwavering. For a brief moment, Benny’s eyes are no longer on the teleprompter and he seems confident, if not arrogant, like his old, familiar self.
Benny Mouse: I have worked my entire life for what I’ve got now – and that’s the number one wrestling promotion in the world. I’ve been close so many times, but with the help of Director of Operations Sami Zayn, I’ve now solidified myself as the most successful promoter of the modern era. It’s no surprise that my enemies would stoop so low as to slander my name in an attempt to undermine my success, but let me make one thing totally clear: I will never resign, and I will never be ousted!
Benny lingers for a moment before continuing, his eyes giving a hint that something has gone wrong. Murmurs of the production staff can be heard in a whisper just off screen, as it appears as if the teleprompter has frozen. Benny’s confidence wavers for a moment. He repeats the last sentence, his voice faltering slightly.
Benny Mouse: (stuttering) I will never resign, and I will never be ousted!
Benny’s words trail off as he stares at the frozen teleprompter, panic creeping into his expression. The room falls silent, tension thick in the air. Benny Mouse stares into the camera, quiet and unmoved, his expression blank. The silence lasts approximately ten or so seconds, but feels uncomfortably long.
Suddenly, the feed cuts to black and the intro video to Dynamite plays.
Match #1 | Exhibition Match
‘The American Dragon’ Bryan Danielson (2-0) vs. Rey Fenix (0-0)
As Rey Fenix makes his introduction, Arn Anderson and Kevin Kelly officially welcome us to Dynamite. They say we’ve just heard from Benny Mouse for the first time in over six weeks, and his presence on television tonight is sure to be discussed ad nauseam over the next several days by the pundits within the wrestling community. Arn says that Benny Mouse was the first promoter he worked for after leaving Jeff Murrey’s original WWF, and that he’s known Benny for close to three decades. He knows him well, and based on what he saw just now, it’s definitely possible that Splinter was telling the truth and there’s something wrong with Benny. Kelly says he’s known Benny for even longer, and he’s never seen him read from a teleprompter before.
As Danielson’s music hits, the announcers discuss his actions from Genesis where he betrayed his long time friend, the AEW World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles. Anderson says that Danielson has grown tired of living in AJ’s shadows, and two weeks tonight in the episode aptly named “Dynamite: Dragon’s Fury,” Danielson looks to end the reign of Styles, which now stands at 448 days. Kelly says that not only has Danielson’s confidence in himself emerged, so has the confidence of Sami Zayn in Danielson, as he cannot remember a time a BWM Inc. show was ever themed after a wrestler as the episode two weeks from tonight is themed after Danielson.
With both men in the ring and the capacity crowd going wild, the bell sounds. Danielson’s intense gaze is fixed on his opponent, Rey Fenix of the Lucha Brothers, who is wrestling his first singles match in All Elite Wrestling. The agile Fenix stares back at Danielson, fearless and with determination, ready to face the challenge ahead.
Danielson wastes no time charging at Fenix with a vicious clotheline, sending him crashing to the mat. Fenix quickly springs back to his feet, but Danielson is relentless, unleashing a barrage of stiff kicks and chops to Fenix’s chest and legs.
Kevin Kelly: Danielson is wasting no time in asserting his dominance, those kicks are brutal!
Arn Anderson: That’s why they call him the Dragon, Kevin. He’s as ruthless as they come, and he can back up inside that squared circle!
Despite the onslaught, Fenix refuses to back down. He counters Danielson’s kicks with lightning-fast strikes of his own, catching Danielson off guard. The crowd erupts as Fenix gains momentum, delivering a series of high-flying maneuvers that keep Danielson on his toes.
Kevin Kelly: Fenix showing off his incredible agility and aerial prowess. He’s taking the fight to the Dragon!
Arn Anderson: But can he keep it up, Kevin? Danielson is a seasoned pro wrestler, and he knows how to weather a storm.
Kevin Kelly: Danielson said it himself last week, something changed in him when he sent Santana’s head crashing through that car window at Genesis.
As the match progresses, Danielson’s aggression only intensifies. He targets Fenix’s limbs, wrenching them with expert precision and forcing Fenix to feel the pain. Fenix valiantly fights through the agony, refusing to give up despite Danielson’s relentless assault.
Kevin Kelly: Danielson is systematically dismantling Rey Fenix from limb to limb.
With each passing minute, the tension in the arena reaches a fever pitch. Fenix summons every ounce of strength and resilience he possesses, launching a desperate counterattack against Danielson. But it’s not enough. In a final, devastating maneuver, Danielson delivers his signature running knee strike, flooring Fenix for the three-count.
Kevin Kelly: And there it is, Danielson secures a statement victory en route to Dragon’s Fury courtesy of the Busaiku Knee!
As Danielson’s hand is raised in victory, the crowd erupts in a mixture of awe and admiration for the American Dragon’s display of dominance. He looks into the camera and begins to mouth off about how he’s going to become the AEW World Heavyweight Champion in two weeks. He says that he’s then going to take that belt into New Horizons and put down MJF as well, because he’s the best wrestler in the world!
Winner: ‘The American Dragon’ Bryan Danielson
Match Time: 7:07
SEGMENT TWO
AEW correspondent Renee Young is backstage in front of a window looking into the arena, providing a unique look at both the backstage area and the ringside/fan area through the window.
Renee Young: Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time is a man I’ve wanted to speak with for months, and for the first time, I’ve finally been able to get some one-on-one time without the bosses nixing the segment. Please welcome the one and only, the legendary Master Splinter!
Splinter smiles and thanks Renee, saying that he’s happy to be here with her. Splinter says that he’s been more than willing to speak with her in the past, but the bosses have been too afraid about what he’d reveal with a live microphone in front of him. Splinter says they must be busy trying to figure out how to spin what the entire world saw earlier tonight with Benny Mouse.
Renee Young: With all that said, tonight you and the Harlem Turtles are set to face Darby Allin and the Brothers of Destruction in our main event in what promises to be an epic battle. What are your thoughts heading into this battle?
Splinter nods thoughtfully, his eyes focused and determined.
Master Splinter: It is a shame that Darby Allin has aligned himself with Sami Zayn, or at least, is willing to do his bidding. Nonetheless, I have been impressed by Allin’s efforts since his arrival in AEW. As for tonight, despite the longest span without a match in my entire career, I am ready to step back into the ring and face whatever challenges may come our way. I hadn’t planned on getting back into the ring any time soon, but if my good pal Slammu can do it, so can I, Renee!
Renee nods, leaning in with another question.
Renee Young: As you touched on just a few moments ago, what are your thoughts about what we saw from Benny Mouse at the top of the show?
Splinter’s expression darkens, his voice carrying a sense of gravity.
Master Splinter: I know that many have doubted the validity of my claims about Benny Mouse and his declining mental state, but tonight’s events only serve as compelling evidence of the truth. Sami Zayn is clearly involved in one of the biggest cover ups the world of professional wrestling has ever seen, and he’s gone through great lengths to make sure the whole truth doesn’t come out.
Renee Young: You’ve alluded to having more to share about Benny Mouse, and that the potential dementia diagnosis wasn’t even the worst part. Can you elaborate?
Master Splinter: You know, Renee, now seems as good a time as ever…
Splinter takes a deep breath before continuing.
Master Splinter: Despite what the journalists and pundits said following Zayn’s press conference last week, Sami did tell the truth about where Megan has been… but, he did so without revealing WHY they forced her to be institutionalized. Not only did she learn about Benny’s diagnosis, she also learned the truth about something else — something much more sinister…
Just as Splinter is about to reveal more, a sudden disturbance interrupts the interview. Menotaur bursts onto the scene, his massive frame barreling towards Splinter with terrifying speed. With a deafening crash, Menotaur spears Splinter through the plate glass window, sending shards flying in all directions! The two topple into the top row of the arena, as the camera pans to show the fans and ring behind them. The crowd erupts into chants of “Holy Shit!”
Renee gasps in horror as she’s knocked to the ground in the chaos, her cries for help drowned out by the commotion. Splinter lies motionless amidst the shattered glass, blood pooling around him, a grim testament to the violence that has erupted backstage.
Renee Young: We need some help back here!
The scene fades as medical personnel rushes to Splinter’s aid, and Young’s screams of horror echo in the background.
In the hallway, Roman Reigns stands in the center, flanked by his cousins the AEW World Tag Team Champions the Usos and the imposing Umaga and the behemoth Yokozuna. The atmosphere is tense with anticipation as Roman addresses his family.
Roman Reigns: Listen up, Uce. With your victory at Genesis against the Outsiders, and with Yokozuna now the number one contender for the Television Championship, t’s only a matter of time before the Bloodline holds all the gold in this company.
The Usos nod in agreement, their determination evident.
Jey Uso: Hell yeah, Uce, we gonna dominate this whole damn business. I mean shit, Uce, our cuz is the WWE World Champion!
Roman’s gaze turns to Yokozuna, a silent acknowledgment passing between them.
Roman Reigns: Yokozuna, you’re on the path to championship gold, and tonight, the Usos need to show Macho Man and Matt Riddle what the Bloodline is capable of. Make it quick and decisive.
As Roman speaks, Paul Heyman can be seen further down the hallway, apparently hanging something on the walls of the arena. He approaches, carrying a stack of posters. He hands one to each member of the Bloodline, including Roman.
Paul Heyman: Gentlemen, pardon the interruption, I’m just passing these out.
Roman glances at the poster, his brow furrowing as he reads the words “MISSING” in bold letters at the top. The image on the poster is unmistakable – Brock Lesnar.
Roman Reigns: What the hell is this?
Paul Heyman: As you may be aware, my beast, Brock Lesnar, has gone missing. No one has seen him since Genesis, and he’s not answering my calls or texts. I’m simply asking for everyone to keep their eyes peeled…
Roman Reigns rolls his eyes as he waves Heyman off.
Roman Reigns: Yeah, sure, whatever, we’ll keep our eyes out for him. But remember, tonight is about us. The Bloodline will continue to rise, and nothing will stand in our way!
With a steely resolve, the Bloodline prepares to make their mark on the night’s events, even as the shadow of Brock Lesnar’s absence looms over them.
Match #2 | Athena Star’s Open Challenge
Miss Athena Star (3-0) vs. ???
Back at ringside, Arn Anderson and Kevin Kelly discuss what we just saw a few minutes ago, with Splinter once again foiled just as he was about to reveal the rest of what he knows about Benny Mouse and Sami Zayn. Kelly says he’s been advised that Splinter has left the arena in an ambulance, putting the Harlem Turtles at a greater disadvantage in tonight’s main event.
Paper Planes by MIA hits, and Miss Athena Star is out to a thunderous ovation. Commentary switches gears, talking about the incredible resurgence Athena Star’s career has been on since New Year’s Revolution. Tonight, she’s issued an Open Challenge to any past or present member of the Knockout’s Division. Anderson speaks with reverence of Star’s classic battle with Angelina Love several weeks back, and says he’d personally like to see Love get another shot.
As Athena’s music fades, she stands in the center of the ring awaiting her challenger. Kelly says we’ve not seen this level of confidence from Star since her original Knockouts Championship run in 2008. Suddenly, static noises blare throughout the arena, as Anderson and Kelly shoot themselves an “oh shit!” look… however, just as quickly as the noise played, it fades and nothing happens.
Star stands uncomfortably for about 20 seconds or so, unsure of what’s going on and who her challenger will be. Suddenly, a different tracks plays, as the audience immediately pops for the recognizable theme.
“Ha, ha, ha, ha… Oh!
Oh, it’s time to rock and roll.
This time I’m in control.
Right now I own the streets,
I got the keys to the city
That’s cause I get down”
It’s Trish Stratus!!! The arena is electric, and Anderson says this is a dream match he didn’t even realize he needed until right now. Kelly says Trish Stratus was one of the top acts in the PWI’s Women’s Division, and after being highly sought after in the 2023 World of Wrestling Draft, she’s finally arrived to All Elite Wrestling!
The crowd roars with excitement as the bell rings, signaling the start of the match. Trish and Athena immediately shake hands, much to the delight of the crowd. They circle one another, sizing each other up. Trish makes the first move, launching into a series of lightning-fast strikes and kicks, but Athena counters with her own impressive agility, dodging and retaliating with a flurry of punches.
The back and forth action continues as both women showcase their athleticism, trading holds and counters with precision. Trish connects with her signature Stratusfaction bulldog, but Athena kicks out at the last possible moment, refusing to be pinned.
Kevin Kelly: We almost had a major upset just now!
Arn Anderson: What a debut that would have been for Trish Stratus!
As the match continues, Athena is determined to gain the upper hand. Athena unleashes a barrage of high-flying maneuvers, including her trademark handspring elbows and the breathtaking 4:20 Splash! Star covers Stratus, but just as Athena did following the Stratusfaction, Trish manages to get her shoulder up at 2.9999!
Arn Anderson: What a match!
Trish struggles to keep up with Athena’s relentless assault, but she refuses to back down, firing back with her own arsenal of moves. As the match reaches its climax, both women are exhausted but refuse to give in.
Suddenly, the lights in the arena go dark, sending a ripple of confusion through the crowd. A familiar screech pierces the darkness, followed by the haunting strains of Rob Zombie’s “Living Dead Girl!”
As the lights flicker back on, Living Dead Girl emerges from the shadows, her sinister presence casting a chill over the arena. Without hesitation, she charges into the ring, targeting Athena Star with ruthless aggression.
Arn Anderson: She’s here! She’s here! Living Dead Girl has arrived to All Elite Wrestling!
The referee calls for the disqualification, but Living Dead Girl pays no heed, pummeling Athena with relentless strikes. Trish attempts to rush to Athena’s aid, but Living Dead Girl proves to be too powerful, shrugging off Trish’s attempts to intervene.
Living Dead Girl and Athena Star tumble to the outside, and she hoists Star onto the commentary table. With a menacing grin, she picks up the lifeless Star and drills her with a tombstone, crashing through the table! The impact echoes throughout the arena as the crowd looks on in horror.
As Living Dead Girl stands tall over her fallen opponent, a sense of dread hangs in the air, signaling the beginning of a new chapter in this ongoing saga of darkness and destruction.
Winner via DQ: Athena Star (4-0)
Match Time: 19:25
SEGMENT THREE
Dave Matthews, not to be confused with the singer/songwriter, stands in front of the camera, microphone in hand, ready to conduct an interview with Hangman Adam Page and Kenny Omega. The tension in the air is palpable as they address the recent events at Genesis.
Dave Matthews: Hangman, Kenny, at Genesis, we witnessed a shocking turn of events when Bryan Danielson attacked AJ Styles. What are your thoughts on that?
Hangman Adam Page sighs, clearly disappointed by Danielson’s actions.
Hangman Adam Page: I won’t lie, Dave. Bryan’s attack on AJ was unexpected and disappointing. But, at the end of the day, we’re all here for one reason: to be champions. And sometimes, emotions can get the best of us.
Matthews nods, understanding Hangman’s perspective.
Dave Matthews: Fair enough. Now, with the Inner Circle seemingly out of the picture, what’s next for you two?
Kenny Omega steps forward, a determined glint in his eyes.
Kenny Omega: Well, Dave, Hangman and I have been talking, and we’ve set our sights on the AEW World Tag Team Championships. We believe we’re the best team in AEW, and it’s time we prove it.
Matthews raises an eyebrow, intrigued by Omega’s declaration.
Dave Matthews: So, are you officially declaring yourselves as challengers for the tag team titles?
Kenny Omega: Absolutely. Consider this our official challenge for New Horizons. Hangman and I will be coming for those titles, and we’re not leaving empty-handed!
Dave Matthews: Well, you heard it here first, folks! Hangman Adam Page and Kenny Omega are gunning for the AEW World Tag Team Championships, and they’re setting their sights on New Horizons!
The camera fades to black as anticipation builds for the upcoming showdown at New Horizons on Easter Sunday.
The sound of sirens blares through the parking garage as an ambulance roars into view, screeching to a halt in front of the arena entrance. The driver’s side door swings open dramatically, revealing none other than Hulk Hogan himself behind the wheel, sporting his iconic bandana and handlebar mustache.
Hulk Hogan: Well let me tell ya somethin’, brother! We’re here to make a grand entrance, just like old times!
Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, clad in wrestling gear, step out of the ambulance, looking slightly bewildered but amused by the situation.
Scott Hall: Hey yo, Big Kev, you ever thought we’d be rollin’ up to a show in an ambulance driven by the Hulkster?
Kevin Nash: I gotta admit, this is a first for me. I’m just glad we made it on time.
The trio shares a laugh as they make their way towards the arena entrance, their camaraderie evident.
Hulk Hogan: Now listen up, dudes. We might be a little tardy to the party, but we’re here to support Macho Man and Matt Riddle in their match against the Usos. The Bloodline messed with the wrong legends, and we’re gonna show ’em what we’re made of, brothers!
With a sense of determination, the three wrestling icons stride towards the arena, ready to support their friends and exact revenge for the Bloodline’s actions against Hogan at Genesis.
Match #3 | Non-Title Match
The Usos (3-0) vs. Matt Riddle & Randy Savage
The crowd responds with thunderous boos as the Usos, Jimmy and Jey, step into the ring, accompanied by the pulsating beat of their entrance music. Across from them, the unlikely team of Matt Riddle and Randy Savage await, their eyes focused and determined.
Commentary recaps the story of how we got to this point, with Matt Riddle showing up at the hospital last week promising revenge for Hulk Hogan and the Outsiders, who themselves were injured thanks to the mishap in the ambulance with Riddle behind the wheel. As the match gets underway, Jimmy and Jey waste no time in asserting their dominance, launching into a relentless assault on Riddle and Savage. But the dynamic duo refuses to back down, countering the Usos’ attacks with their own unique blend of offense.
Riddle showcases his impressive MMA skills, delivering a flurry of strikes and submission holds that keep the Usos on their toes. Savage, ever the ring general, unleashes his trademark high-flying maneuvers, dazzling the crowd with his agility and precision.
The referee struggles to keep the teams in their corners, and it isn’t uncommon for all four men to be in the ring at the same time. The Usos stun Riddle and Savage with tandem superkicks, sending both men toppling over the top rope and to the outside in front of where the commentary booth used to be.
Just as it appears that the Usos have all the momentum and all hope is lost for Riddle and Savage, there’s a sudden disturbance in the distance.
Arn Anderson: Do you hear that, Kevin? What is that?
The arena reverberates with the sound of sirens as an ambulance comes roaring down the ramp, crashing into the ring with a deafening impact. The crowd erupts into cheers as Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall step out of the ambulance, ready to make their presence felt.
Kevin Kelly: What in the world! Hulk Hogan just crashed that ambulance into the ring! I’ve never seen anything like this.
The impact of the front end of the ambulance into the ring sends the ring sliding several feet, and causes the Usos to lose their footing. This allows Savage and Riddle to regroup, as Macho Man climbs to the top rope and delivers a devastating elbow drop onto Jimmy.
With the momentum firmly on their side, Riddle follows it up with his devastating Bro Derek finisher, planting Jey Uso into the canvas for the three-count!
Arn Anderson: What an impressive in-ring debut for Matt Riddle!
Kevin Kelly: Matt Riddle and Randy Savage have just stolen one against the tag team champions!
Winners: Matt Riddle & Randy Savage
Match Time: 11:39
After the match, Riddle and Savage are joined in the ring by Hulk Hogan and the Outsiders, as the unlikely friends celebrate much to the pleasure of the audience. Hogan poses and basks in the glory before all five men get into the ambulance and back it up the ramp. The scene concludes with Riddle offering to drive, and all four of the others shouting “NO!” in unison.
SEGMENT FOUR
Social Media Megastar Logan Paul sits behind the desk of his popular podcast, “Impaulsive,” a grin on his face as he addresses his audience.
Logan Paul: What’s up, Mavericks? Welcome back to another episode of Impaulsive. Today, I’ve got a special guest joining me, none other than Maxwell Jacob Friedman, or as you all know him, MJF!
MJF enters the set, a confident smirk on his face as he takes a seat across from Logan.
MJF: Thanks for having me, Logan. I must admit, I was a little surprised when you reached out to me, considering our…history.
Logan Paul: Yeah, I hear you, MJF. Look, I know we got off on the wrong foot, and I want to clear the air. I never meant to cost you the Television Championship at Genesis, just like I’m sure you never meant to hit me with the championship at the contract signing before the PPV.
MJF nods, a hint of understanding in his expression.
MJF: Honestly, Logan, it’s water under the bridge. Thanks to you, I’ve got bigger things on my mind these days than the Television Championship.
Logan Paul: Exactly, my man. Maybe now I can stop getting deranged hate mail from your biggest fan, Lenny Mouse.
MJF: Who? Oh, wait, no… I think his name is Benny.
Logan Paul: (laughing) Wait, you’re telling me here tonight, live on Impaulsive, that you don’t know who Lenny Mouse is?
MJF: Do you know the names of all your fans?
Logan takes a beat, before continuing.
Logan Paul: Ya know, fair point. But listen man, I’ve asked you onto the show tonight because I’ve got one more gift for you.
MJF raises an eyebrow, intrigued.
MJF: Oh yeah? And what might that be?
Logan leans in, a mischievous twinkle in his eye.
Logan Paul: Not only will you be challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship at New Horizons on Easter Sunday, but you’ll be doing so at the Nassau Coliseum, in front of your hometown crowd!
MJF’s eyes widen in surprise, a smile spreading across his face.
MJF: The Nassau Coliseum… It’s only fitting that my coronation as the new face of professional wrestling takes place in front of my adoring fans. When I win that championship, it won’t just be a victory, Logan. It’ll be a coronation. And you better believe that when I’m standing tall with that title held high, it’ll be undeniable proof that I am indeed better than everyone… And you know it!”
The two men share a fist bump as the camera fades to black, leaving fans eagerly anticipating MJF’s championship match at New Horizons.
Match #4 | 3-on-2 Grudge Match
The Harlem Turtles (0-0) vs. Darby Allin & The Brothers of Destruction (0-0)
Back from the final commercial break of the evening, Arn Anderson and Kevin Kelly recap the wild night of action we’ve seen thus far, with our main event ready to begin. Anderson says this match was originally set to be a six man, but as we saw earlier tonight, Menotaur speared Splinter through a plate glass window and sent him to the hospital just as we was finally set to reveal the additional dirt he has on Benny and Sami. This was after we saw Benny freeze up like a computer, prompting the scene to cut without warning. Kelly says Sami Zayn has a lot of clean-up work to do en route to Dragon’s Fury, live on Monday, March 4. They also discuss what we just learned from Impaulsive, in which Logan Paul informed MJF that he’ll be challenging for the World Championship at New Horizons live in front of his home crowd!
After the introductions are made, the match is on its way as the bell sounds. All five men are allowed to be in the ring at once, in this tornado-style tag match. Stevie R. and Booker D. waste no time, launching into the attack with quick strikes and high-flying maneuvers. But the Brothers of Destruction quickly assert their dominance, using their sheer power and experience to overpower their opponents.
Arn Anderson: Can you believe it’s been ten years since we’ve last seen Booker D. in a ring with the Undertaker?
Kevin Kelly: It’s hard to even imagine those two as a team, especially with the Undertaker’s return to the dark side since reemerging with Kane at Genesis.
Kane and Undertaker take turns punishing the Turtles with devastating strikes and bone-crushing slams, while Darby Allin adds his own unique brand of high-flying offense to the mix. Despite the odds, the Turtles fight valiantly, refusing to back down.
Arn Anderson: This is the first time we’ve seen the Harlem Turtles in a BWM Inc. ring in years, and they’re not going out without a fight! Numbers disadvantage be damned!
As the match progresses, the Turtles manage to gain some momentum, utilizing quick tags and double-team maneuvers to keep their opponents off balance. They catch Darby Allin with the 3-T and attempt a cover, but the Brothers of Destruction break up the pin.
Kevin Kelly: The Harlem Turtles are arguably the greatest tag team of all time, but this isn’t your standard tag team match!
Just when it seems like they might have the upper hand, Kane and Undertaker unleash a relentless assault that turns the tide in their favor. Kane and Undertaker launch the Turtles up, both with chokeslams, stacking them on top of one another.
With Stevie R. and Booker D. reeling, Darby Allin ascends to the top rope and delivers a breathtaking Coffin Drop, crushing the turtles as he covers them both for the three!
Arn Anderson: Despite their valiant effort, the Harlem Turtles are unable to overcome the numbers disadvantage, and Allin and the Brothers of Destruction emerge victorious!
Winners: Darby Allin & The Brothers of Destruction (1-0)
Match Time: 20:20
After the bell sounds, Allin directs the Brothers of Destruction to continue their assault on the helpless Harlem Turtles. Suddenly, the crowd comes alive as two figures emerge from the crowd, drilling the trio and coming to the aid of the Harlem Turtles.
Arn Anderson: Wait a minute… that’s… that’s the Authors of Pain! Megan Mouse’s bodyguards!
Kevin Kelly: We haven’t seen them since Starrcade, when they were run over by Benny and Sami Zayn when they abducted Megan!
Allin and the Brothers of Destruction retreat quickly, as the audience is going wild for the Authors of Pain, giving them what is undeniably the biggest ovation of their careers. They help the turtles up and the BWM Inc. copyright logo flickers onto the screen, as Anderson and Kelly say we’re all out of time!
