Revival Logo comes up and then it fades into Jessica King standing before a Revival backwall. She looks poised and ready for tonight’s show but she has a serious look to her face as she begins.
Jessica King: Ladies and Gentleman, last week, Zenith crashed into the General Manager’s car as she was leaving the arena. Miss Monroe was terrified for her own safety given the recent attacks by the heinous group. She is recovering at the Cook County Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. We hope to have her back to Revival in the days that follow. With that being said, our Revival is without a flagship tonight and we can only hope that everyone here comes out in a-a-a-a..
The video feeds shakes and cuts as if it were experiencing technical difficulty.
Jessica King: ….alive. We apologize ahead of t--time for any and all acts...acts....acts....
The video seems to slow motion and manipulate as she finishes in a deeper demonic like voice. She cuts and splices with a rough “go home and d-d-die” between her next words.
Jessica King: ….committed against the compannnny, the r-roster, and any of the viewers watching.
The tape appears to melt and then fade out to the Zenith’s red Z before the shows intro starts.
The lights cue up to the sound of Halestorm- “Freak Like Me”. The drums and guitars start up to the logo for Resurrection that is displayed. They battle in for a good 10 seconds to clips of various flashes of the current and older roster superstars.
The face of the old Anti-Establishment Myke loads up with Aaron Blaize at his side when they were destroying Revival. It flips to Rian Valiant getting his ass beat next. After that, it shows with vending machine crushing Sullivan Aimes.
It cuts to Ben Hanson destroying Sheree Washington’s new car all up. The image then switches to Sam Hessingstock literally getting arrested and the pickets at the old Revival.
Tyler Knight is seen with Kaori pregnant which transitions to Mercedes and Bob Pooler in the ring and Mercedes giving an ass wiggle to the fans in her business attire.
Sydney LaRoux is in the cage with Ben bloody and beaten. Bomber is betrayed by Holli Would in the middle of the ring before everyone and they close in on his face.
The show opens to the crowd roaring out as the camera catches them. The voices of Maggie and Richie are absent for the moment. The banner around the ring is black and red with “Zenith” clearly displayed there. Apparently Zenith has completely taken over the arena and everyone in it as Maggie and Richie come from behind the curtain, escorted by a man in swat gear with an intimidating rifle in his hands. They are wearing Zenith tees over their regular attire as they take their seats at the announce table and the man in black appears to stand at attention on the left of them even as people curse, spit, and toss things at him. The commentary take up the headsets and sit down.
Mayhem: Bear with us folks. We are here tonight under what appears to be a total takeover of Revival by the tyranny that is Zenith. Mercedes isn’t here tonight and we are at the mercy of these hooligans in black.
Trinks: Maggie, I have to pee but I’m afraid to ask if I can go. They have everyone shaken up around here tonight. Even making us wear these tee shirts of Zenith or we will get fired!
Mayhem: That’s right. We don’t know how long this will last, but anyone in the back, I am trying to reach out to you. If you think you could stop this..please do so.
Trinks: They will hear you Maggie. You better hush with all of that girlfriend.
Mayhem: I’m just saying Richie, if we all work together, we can overcome them and this..
She tugs at her t-shirt with the word on it that they have been made to wear.
Trinks: Let’s just get Resurrection started Magpie.
Mayhem: Just a minute Trinks, somethings up in the back. Let’s check it out.
Another camera reveals Mac Bane bare chested, hat pulled down low, leaned up against a wall deep in thought as he twirls his house keys around his index finger whistling some obscure tune that no one recognizes. He pauses momentarily and looks at the note he had been given earlier this afternoon. The camera zooms in and is able to capture the words…
“Holli and Josiah are living in a shelter, just thought you should know.”[/b]
The note was not signed, Bane folds it back up and stuffs it in his pocket and continues whistling and twirling his keys. Bane smiles as Holli rounds the corner and stops close to him, he tips the brim of his Stetson back and she blushes slightly at the grin he wears.
Mac Bane: Sadly enough I know every word to that song. Lefty Frizzel kind of grew on me.
Holli: Hey there Mac.
Mac Bane: I have something for you and Josiah.
He stops twirling his keys and places them in her hands.
Holli: What's this?
He stops twirling his keys and places them in her hands. Holli stops and looks to the keys he put in her hand.
Holli: What are these keys for?
Mac Bane: Those are for you and Josiah to move into my house Holli. To have a place to call home, a place where you and I could call our home if that was something you still wanted.
On his explanation she seemed to look at him with her head tilted to the side.
Mac Bane: All I know Holli is that at one time you and I were very close, I don’t really give a damn what happened the last eighteen months between you and Bomber or Pooler…none of that matters to me. What does matter to me is you and your brother. If Oliver has a problem with you and me he can come talk to me about it. If Pooler shows back up here at Revival I will do what I have always done with his scrawny little ass.
Holli looked to the keys and her hand and her jaw set hard. She thrust the keys back to his chest. Mac having wounded her pride and little did she knew he knew as did the rest of the world now, she was kinda homeless.
Holli: I don’t need you to buy me houses. I’m fine on my own and so is Josiah. I know you wanna be the white knight Mac but I can take care of myself. I don’t need a man buying me things and giving me charity.
Holli moved out of the way of the camera frame and Mac looks down to the keys shaking his head towards her direction.
Mac Bane: Holli honey...wait..
Revival cameras pick up in another area and we see Nikki Blade walking out of her locker room, adjusting part of her ring attire as she walks down the hallway. She passes a few doors and then notices Ojeda sitting down in his locker room lacing up his boot. She walks in, with out knocking of course and heads right over to him. He glances up at her, then back down at his boot not saying a word to her. She crosses her arms in front of her and lets out a grunt.
Nikki Blade: What? No hey Nik or what's up?
John "Wrath" Ojeda: I told you so. I told you if you kept your head glued on your family drama it was gonna cost you.
Nikki Blade: So what your gonna sit there and give me grief cause I didn't take your advice? I fought one hell of a match, even though I didn't win.
She takes a step back and sits on the bench across from him.
Nikki Blade:It who are you to say it was the family drama? Maybe I just wasn't ready you ever think about that? Give me a break!
John "Wrath" Ojeda: Don't give me this shit again. You came at me last show with this big bad shit, and you told me you were going to handle your business. You didn't do it, so don't expect me to kiss your pretty little ass over it.
Nikki Blade: Like you wouldn't jump at the chance.
She smirks a bit at her comment but he gives off no reaction.
Nikki Blade: So now I'm the bad person for not winning? Like you win every damn match you say your going to win. When you do then you can give me shit about losing one match ok?!
Wrath laughs out loud and shakes his head.
John "Wrath" Ojeda: What's my record here, darling? Who's getting ready to go punch three other guys tickets to get the Heavyweight championship around here? I ain't lost here in Revival yet, and I've barely lost anywhere else... so yeah, I'll give you some shit over it.
Wrath smirks and gives Nikki the visual once over.
John "Wrath" Ojeda: So what are you really here for Nikki?
Nikki Blade: Maybe I like your company ok...geeze..
She stands up and paces a bit in front of him.
Nikki Blade: Hell I'll even go as far as to say i think you turn me on for god sakes. So I come in here and say hi and all you got to say is...way to fuck up your match Nik...told you so.
John "Wrath" Ojeda: Now that's the first thing you've said that's made a lot of sense to me. Come on in and have a seat.
Wrath smirks, sits on the couch and goes back to lacing his boots.
John "Wrath" Ojeda: You know, I wouldn't be giving you shit about getting your head in the game if I thought you were trash right?
Nikki follows him and sits down on the couch next to him, turning slightly looking at him.
Nikki Blade: I have no idea, up until the last time we talked I never laid eyes on you nor talked to you. I thought maybe it was cause you were friends with Ash and knowing how much I hate her you were going to give me all the shit.
John "Wrath" Ojeda: Do you know how I met Ashley? She got mouthy with me and I beat the ever living piss out of her in the ring. I don't give a fuck who you are, you earn your respect or fall back in line.
Nikki Blade: Sooo you’re saying you have to kick my ass in the ring to get respect from you?
John "Wrath" Ojeda: No, what I was saying is, don't think I'm beholden to your damn cousin. And I'm only giving you shit cuz I see you slipping up.
Nikki laughs a bit, relaxing now back into the couch.
Nikki Blade: I suppose I could of handled that match against Ashley better, and yea maybe I went into that match with the notion Im a Blade..but this week I really trained hard John. Even sought out a guy trainer that really put me through the motions and stuff. I have to admit I never fought a guy so Im not gonna sit here and say I got this match in the bag.
Wrath leans back into a couch, wraps an arm around her shoulders and shakes his head.
John "Wrath" Ojeda: Do what you gotta do. That's how you handle it this week. You're in trouble though. Nate's good, and he's strong. Get your cousin out of your head. You're here, she's not. And if you don't, Nate Webb will chew you up and spit you out. Get your head in the game and you may stand a chance.
Nikki Blade: Yea, Jimmy tells me Im obsessed a bit. Guess it's true if both of you think shes in my head enough to get in the way of me actually winning.
She leans her head back up against his arm and turns her head looking at him.
Nikki Blade: I just want to be good you know. John, I don't want to go back to that club. I don't want to prove Dominic right that I can't make it out here unless I’m in that club dancing for those losers...I want to be past that crap.
John laughs.
John "Wrath" Ojeda:Don't ever think you're past that crap. This business may make you rich, it may ruin your body before that happens. Don't know that yet, but you don't know til you try right? Just get at them and beat their asses. Pick a target you think you can handle and beat them.
Nikki Blade: So thats your advice for me this week, facing Webb. Be honest ok, you saw me wrestle, even though I lost ....I do have a good chance at beating him. He might be bigger and stronger but I'm quicker...No one thought David would slay Goliath either. I might just surprise you and then I should get like some prize for winning. From you.
She smiles more, flirting a bit more with him.
John "Wrath" Ojeda:We'll see what happens. You might not be able to handle a night out after Nate Webb's done with you.
The scene fades with the Nikki Blade and John Ojeda looking quite cozy on the couch.

”I’M ON THE TRAIN THATS PULLIN’ THE SICK AND TWISTED!”
The face of the old Anti-Establishment Myke loads up with Aaron Blaize at his side when they were destroying Revival. It flips to Rian Valiant getting his ass beat next. After that, it shows with vending machine crushing Sullivan Aimes.
”MAKING THE MOST OF THE RIDE BEFORE WE GET ARRESTED!”
It cuts to Ben Hanson destroying Sheree Washington’s new car all up. The image then switches to Sam Hessingstock literally getting arrested and the pickets at the old Revival.
”WE’RE ALL WASTED...AND WE’RE NOT GOING HOME TONIGHT! ”
Tyler Knight is seen with Kaori pregnant which transitions to Mercedes and Bob Pooler in the ring and Mercedes giving an ass wiggle to the fans in her business attire.
”COVERED IN BLACK WE LACK THE SOCIAL GRACES..JUST LIKE AN ANIMAL..WE CRAWL OUT OF OUR CAGES. THEY CAN’T TAME US! SO IF YOU’RE ONE OF US..GET ON THE BUS!”
Sydney LaRoux is in the cage with Ben bloody and beaten. Bomber is betrayed by Holli Would in the middle of the ring before everyone and they close in on his face.
”IF YOU’RE A FREAK LIKE ME..WAVE YOUR FLAG.. IF YOU’RE A FREAK LIKE ME.. GET OFF YOUR ASS!”
”IT’S OUR TIME NOWWWWW!”
