Home Invasion

Myra Rivers is certainly feeling all the frustration as she hangs out in the locker room. With the events that she has had to endure ever since she became part of the Civil Championship conversation, there is a definite ‘back against the wall’ mentality that has to be going through her head. Yet, despite that, she is maintaining a grim determination to be able to power through the adversity that she has had to deal with as of late. Myra processes her thoughts a little bit longer before she begins to express them.

Myra Rivers: That Civil Championship just keeps being a haunting tease for me, doesn’t it?

Myra lets out an annoyed sigh as she reflects on recent events.

Myra Rivers: It started with the contender’s match a couple of months back, one that I managed to win. The odds weren’t in my favor. I had to go through multiple competitors to be able to get that title shot. Despite that though, I managed to pick up the victory and gain my title shot. Ever since then though…

Myra pauses again as she shakes her head.

Myra Rivers: It’s been one ounce of BULLSHIT after the other! There was Diaz and that bullshit assault he carried out against me, hurting an ankle that has more or less been a career long nagging injury of mine on and off over the years. Yeah, you think that was fun to go through? No! And you know, that wasn’t even the worst part of it. Fortunately, I turned out to be FINE! Sure, I was sore the next morning and I was limping for a bit, but I was fine! There wasn’t anything wrong with me and yet, the medical staff jumped the gun and wouldn’t clear me for the shot that I was due to have against Danielle Page.

Or did they?

I mean, it sure seemed like they did at first. I figured they were being a bit too conservative and overprotective. However, events that have happened since then have really made me question if it was a case of jumping the gun and a malpractical accident or if this was deliberate. When I was finally cleared, I got my title shot. But I couldn’t have it be a fair one on one match. Oh no, let’s have Veronica Taylor join the company, be part of an assault carried out against McKena Hardy and I and then CONVENIENTLY, she happens to be given a needless special referee spot for our match.

NOBODY, except for those two shallow bitches, bought this as ‘fair’ whatsoever. Of course, the fast count the moment Veronica had a chance to commit one… and then Sebastian NOT doing the right thing and providing a FAIR one on one match with NO bias, NO bullshit…

I mean seriously, how can you NOT know that Veronica would do such a thing? Was he pulling the strings on this the whole time? Was I not cleared because he told the medical staff not to clear me? There are SO many questions! With all due respect to McKena, this SHOULD be a one on one match tonight. Anyone with proper business integrity would book a rematch with none of that nonsense that happened two weeks ago.

But no, we can’t have that. Now the deck is stacked against ME… AGAIN? I’ve got to go through not just Bianca, but Veronica and McKena too? On top of EVERYTHING else I’ve already been through in my efforts to become the Civil Champion. If this isn’t some conspiracy web or Sebastian having it out for me, then this is just about the worst case of ‘circumstantial evidence’ on top of ‘circumstantial evidence’ I’ve ever been through in my career!

All the evidence I just presented… it’s like I’m being toyed with… and if you know me well enough… you know that the last thing you want to do is FUCK WITH ME! This is the kind of BULL that I’ve stood up and been rebellious against for my entire career! You stack any sort of odds against me and I WILL overcome them… whether it’s physically by winning a ladder match that everyone thought I had no business being in, let alone winning, 14 and a half years ago, whether it’s psychologically by SILENCING someone that wrote me off and outright tried to bury me into the ground with empty words that I’ve LONG rendered as baseless LIES by being BETTER than I was 12 months ago when such nonsense was spewed to me, whether it’s DEFYING my age and being more successful NOW at an age where most are winding down their careers, whether it’s coming off of a two-year long maternity leave and virtually retired and being BETTER in my 30’s than I ever was in my 20’s… I have taken ANY odd you can throw at me and I’ve made it my BITCH!

I’ve made any ounce of adversity my BITCH just the way Bianca Page is about to become my BITCH when I take that Civil Championship from her against every fucking odd, obstacle and ounce of adversity thrown at me not just tonight, but over the last couple of months. McKena’s a great girl and her time will come, but it’s not going to be tonight and as for Veronica? She doesn’t even DESERVE to be in this match. She basically got this shot HANDED to her. Well, I’ve had enough of this bullshit… and I’m not standing for it anymore. My back’s against the wall… and THAT’S when I shine the best… which is what I WILL do when I become the Civil Champion… FINALLY!

Myra has a glare of determination on her face as she exits the scene.

In her wrestling gear “Classy” Bianca Page is in her locker room in the MGM Grand Arena. She is looking at herself in a mirror.

“Classy” Bianca Page:The target will always be there whether I am champion or not. But here we are in just a short time. I walk into the ring here tonight with three challengers gunning for my throne. One who is a friend who is a talented star that is unmatched by any of you while the other two are simply parasitic trash who I have already beaten and I will beat again.

Bianca spins around towards the camera.

“Classy” Bianca Page:During the MY Civil Championship title reign over the last two months each of these fools who call themselves marks have been expecting me to lose this championship. But here I am still the HOW Civil Champion and that won’t be changing anytime soon. So, tell me Myra, tell me McKena, how the hell do you two expect to beat me and take MY title away from me? Are you going to split the belt in two and share the belt?

Bianca chuckles.

“Classy” Bianca Page:I don’t think so because when you get right down to it both of you will show how greedy you two bitches are. Each of you will cancel each other out all while you prove yourselves to be irrelevant. Which is why the match will come down to my very good friend, Veronica, and I because we truly are the class of HOW. The fact remains though MY Civil Championship is staying in my possession. It is truly that simple because I am truly who the wrestling world wants and needs to be the Civil Champion.

Match Four House of Wrestling Civil Championship Bianca Page(c) vs Myra Rivers vs McKena Hardy vs Veronica Taylor For the last two months or so, Bianca Page has been on a mighty winning streak, thanks in part to thinking smarter than her enemies. Well, smarter is her word for it. Myra Rivers and McKena Hardy have been at the forefront of taking on the Civil Champion, with Bianca recently gaining the force of Veronica Taylor to even things out between the two sides. Now with them all in the ring, it's definitely going to be a highly contested match. The bell rings and Veronica instantly slides out of the ring, not wanting to enter the fray. However, this leaves Bianca to fend for herself, and McKena and Myra look to each other with agreeing nods. They both lay into Bianca, giving her a double suplex. They whip her across the ring, only to have her back back with a double clothesine. Bianca turns her attention to Myra, giving her a standing legdrop. But McKena was up on her feet a second later, landing a jumping DDT. That's when Veronica slides into the ring, going for a quick pin on Myra. It's broken by McKena before Myra even gets a chance to kick out. Now with Veronica between them, McKena lands a hard chop and an uppercut, which causes Taylor to stumble back into a hangmans neckbreaker from Rivers! Bianca slides into the ring a moment later but is struck in the head by a jumping calf kick from McKena, which makes her stumble into the Vixen Kick (Chick Kick) from Myra! They give one another a high five, looking happier than ever. Myra tries to pin Bianca, and the ref drops to make the count but it doesn't last very long because Myra is pulled off by...McKena! Hardy pulls Myra off by her leg, and then jumps on Bianca, trying to get the pin for herself. The referee starts counting, but Myra does the same thing in pulling McKena off! Hardy gets to her feet and the two have a small staredown, declaring that they both want the pin. McKena says something unheard by the camera, and then gives Myra a hard shove. From there, the two erupted into fists flying every which way at one another. Their alliance was great while it lasted. Myra is able to back McKena up into the corner, climbing to the second rope for some right hands. But Veronica is up again, leaping into a dropkick that sends Myra up and over the turnbuckle! Rivers crashes to the outside as Bianca gets to her feet as well. Page rushes forward, landing double knees to McKena in the corner. The Civil Champion steps back as Veronica takes her heel against the neck of McKena, choking her. The referee gives her some stern words, but the truth is this is a fatal fourway match. He can't disqualify anyone. Eventually Veronica obliges, looking to Bianca to assist her. They take McKena out of the corner, before lifting her into the air together, then dropping her face first into the turnbuckle! Veronica leans down, yelling some taunts down to Hardy who is having some trouble. Bianca slides out of the ring, going to grab the Civil Championship from ringside. As she does, Myra has found the perfect time to slide in. Rivers comes from behind, spinning Veronica around and landing a hard forearm to her chest. She springboards off the ropes and drives Veronica to the canvas with a springboard bulldog. Myra turns around right into the hard plate of the Civil Championship across her head from Bianca! The boos from the audience echo through the entire arena, but Bianca does not care. She makes the cover all the way... but it's broken by McKena! She lays a double axe handle to the back of Bianca's head. Hardy kicks Bianca in the gut, bounding off the ropes into a hurricanrana! But wait! Bianca has used all her strength to pull McKena back up into a powerbomb position! Thinking fast, McKena scoops up the Civil Championship off the ground as she's being pulled back up, smashing it across Bianca's head! Page falls backwards, allowing McKena to make a seated pin! But Veronica breaks the count! It's been incredibly difficult thus far to try pinning someone without the count being stopped regardless. Taylor bounces off the ropes, nailing McKena with a basement dropkick. Veronica and Bianca again try to make use of their partnership, getting McKena up to her feet. However, they aren't able to capitalize by the time Myra slides in again. She goes right for Veronica, giving her a hard spear that knocks the wind out of her...and sends them both through the ropes! Bianca looks to the outside of the ring, her eyes wide. This gives McKena time to kip up with a jump kick. Page holds her mouth and spins around, before Hardy leaps up into a reverse DDT. She puts her eyes to the turnbuckle. Meanwhile on the outside, Myra has been beating down Veronica with an array of elbows. She gets Taylor to her feet, before giving her a northern lights suplex right onto the ground! The sound echoes into the arena. Veronica is really hurting now, prompting Bash at ringside to come see if she's alright. Myra tells him to back off, and he backs up a little raising his hands. Myra locks her in a crossface on the outside of the ring! Back in the ring, McKena Hardy climbs to the top of the turnbuckle, no doubt looking for the Outcast Splash (Frog Splash)! But before she can leap, Diaz pops up out of nowhere and he's on the apron! McKena doesn't even have time to turn and see before she's blasted in the back with a black chair! This also sends her hurling off the turnbuckle and crashing into the ring below! Bianca gets to her feet, quickly climbs the turnbuckle and leaps off with Pure Elegance (Corkscrew Moonsault)! She hooks the leg and the referee drops to make the three count. Myra realizes what is happening, and releases the crossface on the outside. She's about to slide in to stop the count but Veronica reaches up, grabbing hold of Myra's leg and keeping her from breaking the count! The refere counts the three and ends the match! Bash grabs the Civil Championship and hands it to Bianca, before checking on Veronica. Myra looks at the situation at hand and begins backing up the ramp with a slight smile. This causes some confusion and fear for Bianca, Veronica and Bash. One would think Myra would be more disappointed, does she have something up her sleeve? For now, Bianca holds the Civil Championship close. WINNER AND STILL House of Wrestling Civil Champion, Bianca Page FINISHING MOVE Pure Elegance (Corkscrew Moonsault)

We transition backstage following the last contest, with House of Wrestling’s resident interviewer Yahamamoto standing by. The goes about introducing the next guest.

Yahamamoto: “Ladies and gentlemen, my guests at this time—“

Not wanting to wait for a cue, Jessi Ozborne walks into frame before any names can be announced, with Kaya and Lilith Parker flanking her.

Jessi Ozborne: “Yeah okay, that’s enough camera time for your goofy ass. I can take it from here.”

Jessi collects the microphone from Yahamamoto, who awkwardly shuffles out of frame, looking a bit mortified. Jessi clears her throat, before starting to pop off a signature line.

Jessi Ozborne: “Hello, Vegas…Papi’s Home!!”

Jessi pauses to let the influx of crowd reactions seep in, before continuing.

Jessi Ozborne: “Tonight’s the night, ain’t it? Home Invasion. Everybody’s got something huge going on tonight. A nice little spotlight to shine in. Casket Matches, Hell in a Cell Matches, Ladder Matches, then there’s The Keys to the House Match…where we stand later tonight.”

The crowd cheers, seemingly excited for the match Jessi just named.

Jessi Ozborne: “Oh you like that match, do you? Well let me tell you all something that I don’t like. See, what I don’t like is the fact that the top brass over here at House of Wrestling can’t find a better way to debut three generational talents, three gems in the industry, than to stuff them in a box with peasants who can dull their shine.”

The crowd begins to boo Jessi for her remarks regarding the match she’s in. So much so that Ozborne hears it from backstage and reacts.

Jessi Ozborne: “Okay y’all are going way too hard for a match you’ve never seen before. Imma need you to shut the fuck up for a minute.”

The crowd boos Jessi even louder now, before final ceasing.

Jessi Ozborne: “Thank you…as I was saying, Queens don’t languish in backgrounds. We rise above the rest. That’s why we’re about to show management exactly how badly they fucked up with the book.

See, I already took to social media to say this, but if you copped a Twitter perma-ban for sending too many pictures of your tic-tac to random women because a real one won’t love you, I’ll fill you in, hun. Here’s some math for you: With Jewel Chayse, The Parker Sisters, and myself in this match, that’s four of us against the rest of the field. With three keys to grab, that’s enough for all of us to eat.

So the mission is simple: We dominate the rest of the field together, which shouldn’t be hard cause they’re gonna get at each other like a bunch of toddlers anyway. We take our keys, and we get a shot at being the faces this company deserves. Then the Bash-man himself can come to his Queens on bended knee and apologize personally for trying to slot us in with the invalids.”

Jessi passes the microphone over to Kaya Parker in order for her to give her take.

“the Anti-Hero” Kaya Parker: You know it’s funny last week sure, we showed up with fellow queen Jessi Ozborne, but this week its every person for themselves. You think that matters to the Queens of Chaos? No, the Deathriders will stand strong and do our best to get one of those keys. Whether it be Lilith, Jessi or myself.

Kaya hands the microphone off to Lilith who looks into the camera. She then laughs as she looked at the her sister and Jessi.

Lilith Parker: You think, we just live in a house together? Please, it’s a lifestyle, a mentality, a group. This keys to the house match, may be everyone for themselves, but the truth is it’s an everyone for themselves except the Deathriders, and the other Queens. We make up the majority of this match, we are the ones who came here together. My Sister and I have had our bond strengthened because of the fact we may have been divided on the wrestling thing when we were younger. Tonight the three keys return to the Queens of Chaos. We will also be watching the ladder match, and we will come for the HOW World Tag Team Championship soon enough.

Kaya, Jessi, and Lilith all head off, as Kaya and Lilith pull on their sunglasses. They walk over to the gorilla position, as they wait for the match to begin.

The scene cuts to Chris Night in his locker room, where we find him stretching on the ground, getting loose and limber for his upcoming match. He looks at the camera and shares his infectious smile.

Chris Night: Hello there!

He stands up and waves.

Chris Night: You know the older you get, the longer it takes to prepare for these matches. Especially one like this, the Keys to the House match. The field is huge but I won’t lie, I will take advantage of having friends out there. FAITHE and Gloria will always have back and I’m going to have theirs.

He nods confidently.

Chris Night: In a match like this? You need to conserve your energy and not take too many bad bumps. But that’s where this comes in.

Chris taps his finger on his temple.

Chris Night: Some might say to play hard but I disagree. You have to play smart and the only guy who you could debate has a better wrestling IQ than me is journeyman. But it was only a few weeks ago where i outsmarted him.

Night shrugged.

Chris Night: There’s a lot of names in this. Perhaps some surprises too. But I’ll be ready for them and so will Gloria and FAITHe. We’re ready for anything. I’m ready for ANYTHING. And those three keys? They’ll be ours. I guarantee it.

Night nods at the camera and the scene cuts away.

Headliner Black Key, White Key & Gray Key Keys to the House Our starting six competitors in the ring when we begin are Kelly Taylor, Briana Mathews, Gloria Ramirez, Lillith Parker, Carmen Muse and Jessi Ozborne. As the bell rings, the six erupt into a brawl that sees body parts flying everywhere. Kelly and Gloria are locked up in a frenzy of submission holds in the corner, while the other four are very close to one another. Within the first few minutes though, it becomes apart that the Parker sister and Jessi are working together and thus they begin to control the match. They put both Carmen and Briana in the corner, Lillith delivering a dropkick followed by a double face wash from Jessi! 3…2…1! “Sweet but Psycho” by Ava Max hits, and Jewel Chayse runs down to the triple cage! Jewel gets inside the structure and immediately begins to help Jessi and Lillith, the audience finally becoming hip to what’s happening here. There’s a large alliance that has formed, just like Jessi had previously stated online. Carmen is attempting to fight back against Lillith, giving her a headbutt and then rushing her. Jewel catches her off guard with a hook kick from out of nowhere, flooring Carmen! Kelly and Gloria are still outside of the ring by themselves. Jessi gives Briana a roundhouse kick, trying to be the first with a pinfall but it only gets a two count. 3…2…1! “Take Me Away” by Fefe Dobson plays, and Kaya Parker arrives on the ramp laughing. Kaya breaks into a sprint, joining her Queens of Chaos brethren. The Parker Sisters hit Carmen with a double backdrop, the four of them now completely outnumbering the two. Kelly and Gloria look to one another, putting off their battle to begin fighting against the QoC. The Parker Sisters go to work on Gloria, as Kelly tried to take on both Jessi and Jewel. 3…2…1! “The Day is my Enemy” hits to a great amount of boos as Journeyman Phillips walks out. He makes his way into the structure but stays away from the clusterfuck that seems to be going on. He takes his time inspecting the contraption, and how best to get around these obstacles. Meanwhile, Jewel is holding Kelly from behind as Jessi lays kick after kick to his exposed gut. Gloria finds herself in a similar situation with the Parker Sisters, Kaya laying in right hands. Carmen tries to assist again, only for Jessi to toss her into the cage with a loud thud. Jessi rubs her face against the chain-links before letting her go. 3…2…1!“About Damn Time!” by Lizzo blares and the people are on their feet for Davina King! One of the most beloved competitors of HoW walks out onto the ramp, pointing to the crowd with eager anticipation. Inside the ring and cage, the Queens of Chaos look towards Davina and await her arrival. Just as she’s about to run down to the cage…Carina Vega comes out of nowhere, blasting Davina in the back with a kendo stick! She whacks King in the right leg, causing her to double over, before whacking her on the back again. Carina holds two handfuls of Davina’s hair, giving her a spinning hair pull – right off the stage! Carina smirks, leaving the EMTs to look after King. Inside the cage, the Queens aren’t bothered and in fact, this makes their job even easier. They continue their onslaught on the rest of the competitors, now consistently using the side of the cage as a weapon, as well. 3…2…1! Chris Night’s entrance music hits and he hits the ground running! When he slides into the ring, the four Queens immediately stomp away on him. He battles through, sweeping Lilith’s leg and bringing her down, followed by a pop-up lariat to Jewel. He eats an elbow to the back of the head from Kaya, which he responds to with a spinning backfist that knocks her to the ground too. However, Jessi comes from behind, nailing him with a tiger suplex! A moment later, all converge onto him with stomps once again. Journeyman is eventually dragged into the frenzy. 3…2…1! “Personal Jesus” hits and the HoW crowd cheer with all their might for the Las Vegas Fever Dream, FAITHE! If only because the odds would be evened a little more! FAITHE rushes to the cage covered ring almost as fast as Night, and is let in on the side. Most of the Queens are too busy stomping on Chris to notice, giving FAITHE to element of surprise as she strikes Kaya in the back of the head with a high knee! Jessi goes to bash FAITHE, but Gloria, being given time to rest up a bit, grabs Jessi’s arm! She spins Jessi around for an arm drag takedown that has Osborne rolling from the ring! Lilith and Jewel begin tossing hands with Faithe and Gloria, as Bri and Kelly fight on the steps on the outside. Night is able to get back to his feet, overpowering the Queens left in the ring. 3…2…1! “Queen” by Mahogany Lox hits, with Madz giving a cutesy taunt at the top of the ramp, before rushing down. She joins by striking the first person she sees, Carmen Muse, with a meteora! The Queens of Chaos members continue specifically battling with the Nightfall crew, nobody sees Briana try to get a pin on Kelly Taylor with a sunset flip. Kelly reverses it on her, pinning her shoulders instead, only for Briana to kick out. The weapons also come out shortly after this, finally being taken from the cage walls and used against fellow competitors. 3…2…1! “Oye Coma Va” plays through the PA system and the crowd boos as Diaz slowly makes his way out. Outside the ring, Madz has continued working on Carmen who has really taken a toll by now. Madz sets her up in a seated position, leaning against the cage, and hits her with another meteora, this time against the cage. Madz hooks Muse’s leg, and the referee makes the first three count. The bell rings, and while Carmen heads to the penalty box, Madz is now eligible to grab a key and make her way above if she chooses. This realization turns multiple heads towards her. While Madison is trying to fend off Faithe, the Parker Sisters and the like, Kelly gets a roll up on Briana and becomes the second person eligible while Mathews is sent to the penalty box. 3…2…1! The lights go out momentarily, followed by “Jack the Ripper” by My Chemical Romance! New signee Greyson Blackheart comes through the crowd and joins the chaos inside the bottom cage. Inside the ring, FAITHE flattens Jessi with a chair shot inside the ring, prompting the other 3 Queens of Chaos to turn their attention to her once again. Diaz has chosen to lock hands with Gloria, which is a huge mistake on his part. The ring veteran throws him into When Night Falls (crossface)! He yells out and tries to hold on but taps out, being forced to the penalty box. Madz is able to make her way out of the cage finally, moving towards the keys. 3…2…1! Cradle of Filth plays next, quickly fading out as Siren sprints to the ring! On her way down, Siren first stops to slam Madison face first into the cage on the outside! She then gets into the cage, and rushes to the nearest turnbuckle. Having all the momentum in the world, Siren launches into a Morningstar (Moonsault) aiming towards Jessi! However, she sees it coming, quickly popping up and catching Siren into a small package instead! The referee makes a three count for Queen Papi, and Siren bangs on the mat in frustration when she is told to go to the penalty box. Competitors have slowly cleared out, but the penalty box will also be letting out the first competitors soon! Chris Night sends Lilith to the penalty box with a strategically placed fisherman suplex! Kelly Taylor has also found it difficult to leave the cage once people know you’ve become eligible, having fought with Jewel Chayse since getting his pin. 3…2…1! “Repent” by Haloscene for Venom. As Venom is making her way out to the ring, Jewel is able to make a backslide that catches Kelly off guard, and he falls for a three count. This makes Jewel eligible, as Kelly angrily walks to the penalty box to await his time. FAITHE is also able to nail Kaya Parker with the Fever Dream Street (Phantom Driver) taking another Queen of Chaos out of the equation for the time being! Jessi and Jewel miss it because at the time, they are performing a double facebreaker on Journeyman Phillips to keep him from exiting the ring! 3…2…1! “Running up that Hill” by Kate Bush and there’s a cheer for Savannah Sunshine! A surprise entrant here in HoW, but no newcomer to the business that’s for sure! Sav rushes to the ring and is immediately caught with a spinning heel kick from Venom. Edwards mounts Sunshine, banging her head against the floor until Sav reverses the situation. She lands elbow after elbow to Venom. Chris Night, Gloria Ramirez and FAITHE regroup near the door and exit the bottom cage together. They walk over to the commentators table, and each grab a key. Chris grabs the Black, Gloria grabs the White and FAITHE grabs the Gray. They nod to each other as Gloria and Chris begin making their way up to the second cage by climbing. Unbeknownst to them, Jessi and Jewel have also begun to climb on the opposite side, in hopes of stopping them at the top. As FAITHE turns back to the bottom cage for her key, she’s smashed in the back of the head with a lead pipe! Madison Lewis grabs the Gray key from FAITHE! 3…2…1! Lexi Lopez comes through the black curtain and poses at the top of the ramp! Carmen and Briana are let back in, and you can tell they make an agreement to work together for the time being. First, they double team Madz with an STO combo to take her key. Briana keeps the key as Carmen grabs the ladder to set it up. As Lexi hits the ring, Journeyman is on the outside, and trips her right into the steel steps, followed by a curb stomp! With Lexi out of the way, he slides in on the unsuspecting Muse, catching her with a bridge that gives Phillips the three. This sends Carmen BACK to the penalty booth and Briana loses her temporary partner in crime. Journeyman pays for this as Bri smashes him in the face with the ladder before setting it up completely. At the penalty box, Diaz the Dastard is let out and rockets back into the bottom cage. 3…2…1! “Outcast” by Shinedown. Wait what?? It’s Dylan Shepherd! Dylan is a well-known ultraviolent competitor! It looks like he’s been signed to House of Wrestling! Close to one another, both Parker Sisters and Kelly Taylor are let out of the penalty boxes. Madison has gotten to her feet to search for the Gray Key, but she’s speared back down to the canvas! They go after Venom and Sunshine. The sisters turn their attention to Venom and Sunshine, who do not see them coming because the are fighting each other. They hit a double super kick to Venom and then both pin her. The referee is confused by the maneuver, but declares them both eligible. After which, they hightail it up the side of the cage to try to join Jessi and Jewel, who are fighting Gloria and Chris. FAITHE has given up on the Gray key, seeing her pals are in trouble, and also starts climbing to the second cage. Diaz and Greyson Blackheart are tossing each other against the cage, as Siren is let out of the penalty box and crashes into Lexi Lopez! Briana Mathews is still holding the Gray key, trying to catch her breath! 3…2…1! “Thank You For the Venom” is heard through the sound system, and McKena Hardy appears on the top of the ramp! She’s someone else who has already had a match tonight! McKena has her eyes set on one person currently, Diaz. She hasn’t yet been able to pay him back from a couple weeks ago when he choked her out from behind after her match. Diaz meets her outside the cage, trying to give her a lariat but she ducks. She gives him several right hands, dropkicking him into the cage. In a retreat move, he starts climbing up the cage to the White Level. By this time, the Queens of Chaos and Nightfall have climbed to the Black Level in their battle, so Diaz is the only one here. That is, until McKena shows up right behind him. She grabs him by his tights and pushes him off the second cage! Diaz crashes to the commentary table below! She takes a moment to look at the crowd, knowing that she is not eligible nor does she have the key. She makes the decision to leap off for an Outcast Splash (Frog Splash) to Diaz down below!! The House is going nuts! Meanwhile, the Parker Sisters have managed to join Jessi and Jewel on the top level, battling against Chris, Gloria and FAITHE still. Being outnumbered by one, the Queens of Chaos take control overall, managing to get all three lying on the cage. Jessi takes hold of the Black Key, and gives the White Key to Jewel Chayse, telling her to make her way back down to the second level in order to hook her key. Jewel nods, and leaves the Sisters and Jessi stomping on the Nightfall crew. 3…2…1! “Come to Life” by Alterbridge hits and the House is instantly on their feet! MYRA RIVERS is the last entrant in the Keys to the House match! Over the last couple months, she’s proven to be one of the more popular superstars in HoW, and boy can you hear it! Our last entrant rushes down to the cage and ignores the first level. She aims directly at the White Level, which is only being occupied by Jewel Chayse at the moment. Jewel is moving to hook the key! She’s almost got it on the hook when Myra comes from behind with a high spinning calf kick to the back of Jewel’s head. Jewel kips up, dodging another kick. Chayse locks Myra in a headlock before giving her a headlock driver to the cage! Jewel goes to hook the key, but is again stopped by Myra, who sweeps her leg this time. Myra hits the Spirit Breaker (Corkscrew Neckbreaker) and pins Jewel for the three count! Not only does this make her eligible, but this forces Jewel to the penalty box. In conclusion, Myra is able to pick up the White Key and place it on the hook to give us our first winner of the match! This cuts the match in half for the most part. The top part of the cage is occupied by Jessi and the Parker Sisters, who have been distracted by the Jewel and Myra battle. They turn their attention back to the Black Key, and once again meet their nemesis in this match, the Nightfall crew. On the bottom level, Dylan Shepherd gives LEXI a cradle piledriver right onto an unfolded chair that has her bleeding everywhere. Dylan pins her and is able to become eligible. Greyson Blackheart also finds himself eligible to hang the key by pinning Siren after jumping from the turnbuckle with a bat and smashing it across her forehead. This caused the six on the bottom to break apart. Briana and Sav, Dylan and Madz, Kelly and Greyson. On the top, the two teams have also broken up into three battles of two with varying levels of success. The other two do not see Gloria applying Fade 2 Glory on Lilith Parker! She taps out, and as soon as Kaya sees this she shifts her attention from FAITHE to Gloria. On the first level, Dylan Shepherd has grabbed a kendo stick, whacking everyone one by one! First Sav! Then Greyson! Then Briana, which makes her drop the key! He goes to hit Kelly Taylor but Kelly ducks, he bounces off the ropes right into a spear! Savannah, Greyson, Briana and Dylan all roll from the ring. Madz comes from out of nowhere, jumping off the turnbuckle into the flying backstabber! With Kelly floored, she grabs the Gray Key for herself and begins to steady the ladder more. She climbs to the top, when Journeyman tries to run up the other side! Madz strikes him in the head and he falls all the way back down, giving Madz time to hook the key and claim it for herself. Now with only the top level left, Kaya is filled with rage and has knocked Gloria down. She’s stomping away as much as she can. FAITHE spins Kaya around, giving her a headbutt, and mounts her for some seated elbows. Meanwhile, Jessi and Chris have been fighting, and she smashes his face into the cage with a DDT. Gloria gets to her feet, looking to help FAITHE with Kaya, and makes Kaya tap with a Fade 2 Glory (Dragon Sleeper) as well! The odds look like the Queens are falling behind right now. Jessi isn’t thwarted, giving FAITHE a leg lariat to the cage. Gloria is getting to her feet and Jessi grabs her from behind for a Disenchanted (House Call)! She packages up Gloria for a three count, with Chris Night just a second too late to break the count. This sends Gloria to the penalty box, and leaves three on the top altogether. On the bottom, several competitors begin to stir, not realizing Madz has won the Gray Key. They’ll need to exit to bottom level and climb all the way to the top if they want to be in the running for the Black Key, which has remained in Jessi’s position. Now FAITHE and Chris are both on their feet, and they’re able to double team her with multiple kicks, before giving her a double spinebuster onto the chains of the cage! Chris leans forward, grabbing the Black Key from Jessi who is still lying down. While he does this, Chris is dangerously close to the edge of the cage. FAITHE stands behind him, looking at the situation at hand. All she has to do is PUSH. The crowd begins to get loud, wondering what she’s going to do. She walks up behind him and…rest a hand on his shoulder. She nudges over to the hook in the middle, urging him to hook it! Seems she’s made her choice. Chris walks over to the center and begins trying to hook it, with FAITHE looking on. A smile on her face. But it’s not over yet! Ozborne sneaks up behind FAITHE this time, giving her a quick Disenchanted (House Call) as well! FAITHE falls for a three count before Chris realizes that Jessi has pulled one over on them again! Chris blasts Jessi in the face with a basement dropkick. She holds her jaw, rolling to the edge of the cage. She tries to get him to chase her, but he doesn’t. Instead, he runs to the center again. Jessi rushes towards him in an attempt to stop him, but eats a superkick from Night! The sounds echoes through the MGM Grand Arena, right before Chris stands in the center of the top cage and hooks the last key! Effectively ending the match, with a lot of bruised bones and bruised egos! Superlatives: Longest in Match w/o Being Pinned: Jessi Ozborne Most Pins: Gloria Ramirez(3), Jessi Ozborne(3) WINNERS Black Key, Chris Night! White Key, Myra Rivers! Gray Key. Madison Lewis! FINISHING MOVE Hooking the final key

The scene opens up on what looks to be somewhere deep within the MGM Grand Aren, one of the hallways and such. There we see things scattered about, random things that help with the production of a wrestling show. Sitting on one of the production crates as the House of Wrestling Grand Champion, Alex Andrews, with the championship laid across her lap. She smiles down at it for a second before speaking.

Alex Andrews: Some days I look at this thing and I still can't believe it is real. That I did it. I WON a World Title. It's not quite something I expected to win this early in my career, but you won't hear me complain about it either. I'm grateful to be where I am and to be the one to be the face of the company. It's something I wanted from the moment I stepped out of the Limitless Dojo and into a ring.

The smile droops just a little.

Alex Andrews: That said, I wish I could say I did it all on my own, but things didn't quite work out like that. Mikey was never going to play fair. Ever. He is going to take every single shortcut he can. I get this, I am aware that he's going to be an underhanded prick every chance he gets, but that title win is always going to have a small asterisk next to it. Why's that? Because Aaron Asphyxia had to be the one to help neutralize Mikey's interference in order for me to prevail.

Alex nods to herself and taps the faceplate of the title.

Alex Andrews: So this title defense means a whole bunch to me. Granted, it's a bit daunting to defending in a Hell In A Cell, but you know I won't back down from a fight. So both Mikey and Aaron have their own claim for the titles, I get it. This match is about validation for me. To show the world that this wasn't a fluke. That I'm a worthy champion and that I didn't just slip into this position. Aaron and Mikey have their own issues between each other and that's a whole other can of worms. This is about me taking on two valid contenders, using the rules of the match and walking out of it with the Grand Championship still around my waist. And you know what? I CAN do it. Everyone has seen exactly what kind of a fighter I am.. I have proven that show in and show out. Week after week. So, you know what? Mikey, Aaron, bring it. I'm going to fight with every ounce of strength I have. I'm not so sure y'all can say the same.

She pulls the title up to her shoulder and smiles brightly at the camera as it fades to black.

Headliner House of Wrestling Grand Championship Triple Threat Hell in a Cell Alex Andrews(c) vs Mikey Svarro vs Aaron Asphyxia All three make their way out to the ring and get inside the cell. Alex Andrews raises her Grand Championship high, and the audience inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena cheered loudly for her. On one side, this dates back to the very first Friday Night Foundations, and from another, this dates back ten years. The bell rings and Andrews jumps towards Svarro. In response, Mikey slides from the ring. He walks to the outside, standing near the corner. Mikey looks and Alex and Aaron inside the ring, and the two women do the same. They look back to Mikey as if they are going to go after him together, only for Aaron to try to roll up Alex! She gets a fast one before Alex powers out, but it certainly sets their precedent. Alex goes to clothesline Aaron, only for Asphyxia to tilt-a-whirl up her arm. She gives Alex an arm drag to the canvas, that Andrews managers to roll through. She pops up and gives Alex a quick russian leg sweep! The crowd cheers as Alex gets to her feet...only to have Mikey reach under the ropes and pull them out from under her. He yanks her to outside of the ring, and then tosses her into the chain-linked fence of the cell! Svarro laughs as Alex crumbles to the floor, clutching her shoulder that's been rammed into the cage. A moment later, Aaron strikes him in the face with a baseball slide, joining the outside herself. Svarro clutches his chin, walking a quarter of the way around the ring before he slides inside again, with Aaron doing the same. They come face to face, stopping for a moment and staring at each other. A second later, they both smirk, and exit the ring. They've made a nonverbal agreement for weapons it seems, as they both slide out on different sides of the ring and grab chairs. However, before Mikey can get inside the ring, Alex runs up the nearby steel steps and leaps into a shotgun dropkick right to the chair on Svarro's chest! He rockets to the side of the cell so hard that he breaks it open, sprawling on the floor. Alex slides inside the ring to meet Aaron, and they essentially pick back up from where they were earlier in the match. They begin to trade blows back and forth, before Aaron goes for a roundhouse. Alex ducks, grabbing Aaron from behind for a german suplex, but Aaron is able to flip over and land on her feet. Not only that, but she reaches up, locking Alex into a modified karifuda clutch! Alex reaches towards the sky, trying to move towards the ropes but Asphyxia does not let her. In fact, Aaron's making good on her name for once and, well, asphyxiating her opponent! All hope looks to be lost for the Grand Champion, until somehow she manages to throw the bottom part of her body up and over! The contortion puts Aaron's shoulders on the mat and the ref begins counting, forcing Asphyxia to let her go. The two get to their feet, immediately rushing each other once they are both up. They both duck the first time and continue running, bouncing off the ropes again. This time Andrews jumps, striking with a perfect FALCON PUNCH (Superman Punch) from out of nowhere! Asphyxia hits the mat, and Andrews hooks the leg! BUT! It's only a count of one before Mikey Svarro is in the ring again, yanking Alex up and to her feet. He kicks her in the gut, before driving her down with a Signing Off (Package DDT)! The crowd boos as Alex is dropped on her head, and Mikey keeps the package tight for the pin. But wait! Aaron, who is still lying on the ring, leaps onto Svarro to break the pin! Slowly, Aaron brings Mikey to his feet, everyone really feeling the effects now. She hits him with a few chops, followed by the Trauma in Art (La Mistica)! Mikey's arm hits the canvas hard and Aaron reels back on the armbar! That is, until Alex, who is still lying on the mat, jumps onto them with an axe handler that breaks the submission up! Aaron holds the back of her head, stumbling forward onto her knees. Fortunately for her, Alex is near the ropes and is able to get up faster by using them for support. She runs forward and nails Aaron with Brain Death (Scorpio Rising)! She hooks Aaron's leg, and it looks to be in the bag for the Grand Champion! That is, of course, until Mikey, who is lying on the canvas, uses all his strength to leap onto them the same way they all had. Effectively breaking the pin! They all move to separate corners now, REALLY feeling winded about now after that high impact move sets they just drive one another through. It takes some time for them to work to their feet, but naturally the first two up are Mikey and Alex. Svarro knocks Alex to her knees by blasting her with a spinning backfist. This gives him time to set up the chair that Aaron had brought in the ring earlier. He unfolds it in the middle of the ring, before giving Andrews a backdrop right onto it! The SMASH of the chair sounds brutal, and they both lie there for a second. The impact even hurting Svarro a bit. Big mistake on Svarro's part though, as Aaron Asphyxia has climbed to the nearest turnbuckle. She jumps into Bitch Please (Phoenix 360) that lands right on top of Alex, Svarro, and the chair! The crowd is on their feet and the three of them are lying in carnage! Aaron is able to crawl over to Alex, lying her arm over for... One...Two...THRKICKOUT! Somehow, Alex Andrews' shoulder shoots into the air with the kickout of the century! The HoW crowd are ecstatic about it! It takes another few moments as the three begin to collect themselves on different sides of the ring. Mikey actually rolls out of the ring, and begins to walks out of the cage! Aaron, always the shit-stirrer, begins to follow him. In seeing this, Svarro begins to actually run from Aaron, climbing up the side of the cage! Inside the ring, Alex begins to follow them as well, taking a different route up the side of the cage! Aaron catches up with Mikey, clinging onto the steel-chained links, almost to the top of the cell but not quite! She begins kicking him! Then going one-handed, throwing fists! Mikey looks like he's about to fall off several times. Finally, he reaches forward, grabbing Aaron's head and banging it on the side of the cage! Asphyxia becomes dazed, falling off the side of the cage and through the announce table!! Svarro climbs the rest of the way up, rolling to the top of the cage...only to be met from Alex Andrews! In taking the other side up, she didn't have to deal with the Svarro/Asphyxia fight and thus, made it to the top much faster. She kicks him in the gut, nailing him with Hella Rough (Killswitch)! The pair fall through the cell at the top that breaks open due to excessive force!! They land inside the ring, Alex having just enough strength to crawl over to Svarro and lay over the top of him for the final three count! The House of Wrestling audience could not be prouder of their Grand Champion! WINNER AND STILL House of Wrestling Grand Champion, Alex Andrews! FINISHING MOVE Hella Rough (Killswitch)

The cage is being lifted, as Alex Andrews is given her House of Wrestling Grand Championship. She's on one knee, obviously beyond winded and barely able to stand. Svarro and Aaron have been carted off by medical staff. Alex remains in the middle of the ring, soaking in the cheers from the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Suddenly, "INNOCENCE" by HEALTH x YOUTH CODE begins to play from the speakers.

One by one, the Queens of Chaos make their way through the black curtain and onto the ramp way. First is Jessi Ozborne, then Jewel Chayse, then the Parker Sisters, Kaya and Lilith. They stand in a line at the top of the ramp, looking down at Alex menacingly. They're a little banged up from the Keys to the House match, but all four of them look more than ready to go if necessary.

Of course, their goal for the moment isn't too engaged, but to simply warn. We go off the air with our Grand Champion starring back at the Queens of Chaos.
