[The Warehouse] - Hollywood, CA. (2,375 in attendance) NOV. 28th, 2019
THURSDAY NIGHT TAKEOVER | EPISODE 5
"THANKSGIVING HALFTIME"
Cameras open inside the warehouse. Foster The People, "Pumped Up Kicks", plays over the pa system and the fans are going insane. Many are wearing specific CW merchandise and holding signs. The aerial drone flies around the venue before hovering in front of the announce position.
K. MINX: "WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA WRESTLING!"
S. AIMES: "We are the CW broadcast team, I'm Sullivan Aimes!"
K. MINX: "And I am Kelsi Minx! Welcome to the fIfth episode of Takeover!"
S. AIMES: "Tonight's event will showcase only one match tonight, and it will be a very important match at that. We will crown a new Immortal Icon Champion."
K. MINX: "The stakes have never higher and there has never been so much drama surrounding one particular match."
S. AIMES: "Sativa Neveah was reportedly not happy about Mr. Roerich's decision to bring that championship back. He then proceeded to book Morgan Payne with an opportunity to be the only champion to hold the belt."
K. MINX: "Talk about a punch below the belt. That was definitely one."
S. AIMES: "I am very excited about this match. It's two of our best battling it out for ultimate supremacy tonight. Tonight we will unify two championship belts and head into a new era!"
KORI TAYLOR: "The following contest is scheduled fo one fall and it is for the CALIFORNIA WRESTLING IMMORTAL ICON CHAMPIONSHIP!!!"
K. MINX: "Can you feel the energy Sullivan?!"
S. AIMES: "Hell yeah."
As the music starts, the lights dim down leaving the arena in a darkened state as a police spotlight sweeps over the audience.
Yeah! Uhm. Look!
Pockets looking cakey like these bummy bitches make up
It's room service bitch, the game requested that it get waked up!
See all I see is paper like my secretary's staplers
So if this was yo job, then I'm thinkin' your about to get a pay cut!
This my lane so fuck road rage, fuck yo anger!
I swear they really wanna cuff this pretty young thing, like a bailiff!
Plus I'm cute
And I be killing games since way back when it was Sega!
I be repping Texas but I'm so Cali like a Laker
The spotlight finally falls on the top of the stairs where the camera falls on Morgan Payne, clad up in her full ring gear. Leather jacket, worn Steelers cap worn backwards. The crowd gives a mixed reaction to her sudden appearance among them. Some cheer her while others boo her in general principal of who she's affiliated with. Morgan doesn't care, obviously, as she looks around at the audience with a stoic expression that slowly curls into a sly smirk. She starts moving down the steps towards the ground level, briefly mouthing the lyrics into the camera as she descends the steps.
Yeah, yeah I'm kind of cocky
When it come to what I'm made of
Cause we, we ain't the same
And they don't want you from the waist up!
You the cookie cutter type and they call me the baker!
And all I see is numbers, numbers, numbers like a pager
I kill em and collect em
Watch me murder grass pesos
I swear you got to feel where the fuck I'm coming from like a taser
Cause if she fuck with me
Then not even the captain finna save her!
These bitches thinking they beefing
Fuck around and get fed, laid up!
KORI TAYLOR: "Making her way to the ring weighing in at 125 pounds, she is the current California Wrestling Hollywood Heritage Champion....MORGAN PAYNE!!"
Morgan moves down the steps as the camera stays with her. As she gets closer and closer to the bottom, she starts shaking out her fists at her side, loosening up for the upcoming match. As moves towards the barricade, fans on the ends of the aisles excitedly offer out their plastic cups of beer. At one point, Morgan randomly stops and accepts a cup from one fan and slams the entire thing back. She chugs down most of it with a little but dribbling down her chin and neck. She then tosses the cup over her shoulder, and gives daps to the fan she got the beer from. She continues her way down the stairs until she gets to the bottom. Now, her focus is honed in on the ring as she picks up the pace into a brisk, all business walk towards the barrier and hops right over it.
I be looking, looking, looking
I don't see no difference!
Cookie, cookie, cookie
All these cookie cutter bitches!
Fuck these bitches, fuck these bitches
Oh cookie cutter bitches!
And I be looking, looking, looking
I don't see no difference!
Cookie, cookie, cookie
All these cookie cutter bitches!
Fuck these bitches, fuck these bitches!
Oh cookie cutter bitches!
Morgan stalks her way around the ring as the song continues, before climbing up onto the apron and entering through the top and middle ropes where she then hops on the balls of her feet inside the ring, rolling her neck. She's so amped up, the referee has to make her stop while they check her gloves and kneepads before she removes her jacket, flannel shirt from around her waist and her Steelers cap, handing it off to the attendant on the outside. She squats and leans forward, resting her elbows on her thighs as she rocks side to side on her feet, ready and waiting.
S. AIMES: "How do you think Morgan will handle Roxi Johnson's offense without Sativa at ring side?
K. MINX: "Morgan is still kicking her ass."
KORI TAYLOR: "The second competitor in this contest, weighing in at 140 pounds, the reigning California Wrestling Pride Champion....ROXI JOHNSON!!"
The opening guitar riff of Rush' "Limelight" begin on the PA system. The cameras pan around the arena, and as the lyrics begin, Roxi Johnson rushes through the curtain and stops, a huge smile on her face. She soaks in the cheers and treks onward, seemingly greeting every fan, before climbing up on the apron and looking out at the cheering crowd, before entering the ring and climbing the turnbuckle and raising her arms in the air to massive cheers. She jumps down from the top turnbuckle and lands in the ring, turns to the hard camera side and dropping to a knee, and giving the "I love you" in sign language pose. She stands and begins jumping up and down in an exercising manner as the music cuts out.
DING! DING! DING!
S. AIMES: "Oh my!"
Morgan Payne doesn't waste a second and pummels Johnson in the corner before she can hand her championship belt off. Payne lands stiff forearm shots to the back of the head and shoulders. RJ fights back, but a kick to the midsection sends her back into the turnbuckles with nowhere to run or hide. Payne delivers the boots to RJ before taking her out of the corner and using an Irish Whip to aid her, Morgan Payne connects with a a slingblade. Payne makes it to her feet quickly and starts landing mma knee strike to RJ as she tries to climb to her feet.
S. AIMES: "Those knees are really slowing Roxi Johnson down."
K. MINX: "Morgan Payne walks out the Immortal Icon Champion."
Morgan Payne sends Roxi into the ring cables once more and this time the Pride Champion responds by reversing a tilt a whirl slam attempt into a reverse ddt! The fans get behind Roxi and she continues to fight back using stomps and kicks to her advantage. RJ lands a running leg drop before making the cover,
...
...1!...
...
...2!...
..KICKOUT!..
...
Roxi Johnson waits patiently for Payne to rise to her feet before using an arm drag to bring her back down. Payne hops to her feet again, this time falling victim to a yoshi tonic! Tap Marksman counts the fall,
...
...1!...
...
...2!...
..KICKOUT!..
...
RJ locks up with Payne once she makes it to her feet and slam her down to the canvas with a snap suplex!
S. AIMES: "Morgan Payne began strong, but it doesn't look so strong anymore"
K. MINX: "She's as strong as they come. Let's go Morgan!"
Payne fights back, exchanging punch for punch with RJ putting a thumb in her eye. The fans boo heavily and Tap gets in Morgan Payne's face to reprimand her. Payne shoves Tap out of the way at the last second and RJ nails her with a missle dropkick. Morgan flies out of the ring and to the outside. Fans rally behind Roxi who basks in the moment briefly before leaping to the outside and connecting with a tope suicida onto Payne.
S. AIMES: "Roxi is turning up the heat here in this contest."
K. MINX: "There's a lot on the line, I wouldn't expect anything less from Roxi Johnson."
RJ throws Morgan into the guard rail on the far side, near the entrance aisle. Payne smacks against the railing and RJ slides into the ing, stopping the officials count, before getting a running start, clearing the rope and connecting with a crossbody!
S. AIMES: "Payne took flight and got a lot of air!"
Both women battle back to their feet, just barely beating the count out. The two woman rise simultaneously and the punches and kicks are thrown wildly. Morgan Payne slings herself out of the ring ropes and pays the price after RJ takes her down via a samoan drop. RJ hooks the leg,
...
...1!...
...
...2!...
...
...KICKOUT!...
...
Roxi Johnson locks Morgan Payne into a sitdown reverse armbar and Morgan scampers to the ring ropes immediately. RJ releases Payne and the Hollywood Heritage champion slides out of the ring to catch a breather.
S. AIMES: "RJ is in Morgan's head for sure."
K. MINX: "She's been cheating."
S. AIMES: "How?"
K. MINX: "How not?! That is the real question."
RJ climbs to the top rope and launches herself at Morgan. The HH Champion steps to the side and RJ smashes into the guard rail. The crowd gasps and Morgan Payne steps onto the ring apron and waits for RJ to climb to her feet before hitting her with a running front flip cannonball! They crash into the ring steps on their way down and both ladies appear to be in a large amount of pain.
K. MINX: "The chants of approval have begun Sully."
S. AIMES: "I was going to chant it myself if they didn't."
K. MINX: "Aren't you glad we are not at ringside any longer? Much safer environment."
S. AIMES: "Yeah, something like that."
Morgan makes it to her feet first and immediately slides into the ring and then back out to cancel the count out. Morgan Payne guides RJ back into the ring and starts kicking her in the ribs as she tries to make it to her feet. Payne flies in and attempts a shining wizard but RJ catches her legs and allows Payne to hit the canvas before locking in the figure four leg lock!
S. AIMES: "GREAT COUNTER BY ROXI JOHNSON!! CAN SHE MAKE IT TO THE ROPES?!"
....
......
..Morgan Payne rocks from side to side...
..........
..RJ resits and keeps the hold locked in....
....
Tap asks Morgan is she taps, and Morgan refuses.
....
The fans erupt into boos as Sativa Neveah sprints to ringside and leaps onto the ring apron. Tap Marksman meets her and orders her away from ringside immediately. RJ notices the two arguing and releases Morgan Payne. RJ punches Sativa and then grabs her by the hair and sprints toward the corner, allowing the momentum to force Sativa against the ring post. The fans go insane for RJ and she uses their cheers to keep the momentum in her favor. RJ takes Morgan Payne down to the mat once again with a flying headscissors this time. Officials hurry out and escort Sativa away from ringside.
S. AIMES: "Good. Get her out of here."
RJ plants Morgan Payne with a blue thunder powerbomb before making a cover,
...
...1!...
...
...2!...
...
...NEAR FALL!...
...Morgan Payne kicks out at the last second.
Roxi Johnson takes Payne down again with a basement dropkick before climbing to the top rope. RJ goes for a split legged moonsault and pays the price after Morgan Payne pulls her knees up! RJ crawls away in pain, while Morgan Payne calculates her strike. She stalks RJ slowly, until RJ tuns around she kicks her in the stomach and goes for the stunner, but RJ shoves her away. Morgan Payne tuns around and is smashed with a disaster kick!
S. AIMES: "THE RAY OF HOPE!! SHE NAILED IT!"
Roxi Johnson makes the cover on Morgan,
...
...1!...
...
...2!...
...
...3!...
...
DING! DING! DING!
KORI TAYLOR: "YOUR WINNER AND THE NEWWWW IMMORTAL ICON CHAMPION....ROXI JOHNSON!"
K. MINX: "What kind of shit is that?!"
S. AIMES: "Roxi Johnson is the champion! She did it!"
Tap Marksman hands the Immortal Icon Championship to Roxi and she holds it in the air. The fans cheer for her and a "ROXI" chant begins.
K. MINX: "This is not what the fans paid to see."
S. AIMES: "I guess it's a good thing we're ending now. Until next time folks, we hope you enjoyed the thanksgiving special!
