MAIN EVENT: ALEKS MASON (C) VS. SAMOA JOE: TNW:R UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP

 

[Cedric Alexander]

The sound of drums and historic trembling rumbles onto the speaker as the crowd goes off with mixed reactions of a brutal badass. A roaring growl then sounds off as the beat drops and so does the titantron of Samoa Joe. Out come the "The Destroyer of iMPACT" named Joe as he has a facial expression of pure violence and has one purpose and that is to hurt people. Joe contiunes his strut down the ramp glancing at the ring, then to turn to his right and left to look at the people he could give two shits about. Never mind that as Joe would be announced to the ring. " From Huntington Beach, Calif., Weighing in at 282lbs! SAMOAAAAAA JOEEE!"

Joe proceeds walking up the steel steps as he crosses the apron ad enters into the ring. Joe walks the center snatching the warm up towel off his neck and throwing his arm into the air throwing up his signature "So cal" hand sign. Joe walks towards the ropes eyeing the camera hidden in the crowd tech area as the camera zooms in on his intimidating face then out. Joe walks around the ring waiting throwing a few quick light jabs before backing in the corner ready to showcase some combat onto his opponent. A world-traveled veteran of the mat game, the 282-pound Joe has used a blistering, MMA-inspired offense to rack up championships in top promotions across the globe. His different wrestling/ fighting styles is Unmatchable and his opponent is in for a rude awakening.

After an extensive night of wrestling, with great matches and spectacular finishes, it was time for the Universal Championship match up. Ten minutes before his match, Aleks Mason would leave his personal locker room with earphones on and the strap in his hand. Walking through the hallway, he listened to music to ramp him up and get him ready. Making his way into the gorilla position, he placed the Universal Championship and his entrance jacket on a seat and began stretching his body. Rolling his shoulders, cracking his neck, etc. Mason removed his headphones and removed his phone from inside his trunks. He gave them off to a crew member, who would take it back to his locker room. Mason would grab a water bottle and pour the water onto his head, allowing his locks to soak it all up. His hair had now been altered to a light brown color, after his dark roots started to evade the blonde dye. Aleks would remove a hair tie from his wrist and tie his hair up into the man bun that the entire audience loved to hate. Aleks would get a hold of his Universal Championship, strapping around his waist as his opponent tonight made his entrance. The music seeped into the gorilla position. Aleks looked at himself in the mirror with a championship around his waist. He swung on his black entrance coat. Tonight Aleks strayed away from his typical red and black attire, now sporting black and white. A producer tapped Mason's shoulder, allowing him to know it was time to make his entrance.

On the speakers of the arena started Aleks Mason's theme song, "Blind" by Korn v2. Nearly 10 seconds of the opening instrumental played, and the song went silent. Within a couple seconds, the song picked up and Aleks Mason's graphics began to appear on the various screens throughout the arena. Aleks pushed through the black curtains into the multiple flashing lights in the arena. He licked his lips and his pupils dilated as he took a look at the multiple fans on their feet, booing their lungs out. Aleks opened up his jacket, revealing the glistening title that wrapped perfectly around his waist. He looked down at the title, admiring it before looking up to Samoa Joe who was in the ring. Raising an eyebrow, Aleks cockily spoke loud enough for the camera to pick it up. "This title is staying around my waist, Joe." Mason released his jacket, allowing it to fall down onto the championship. Standing at the top of the ramp, he removed the jacket, tossing it aside as he began walking down the ramp. Half way down, Mason unstrapped the championship from his waist with his right hand. He pointed it towards a fan, who reached to tap the title. Before the young child in the audience could press his hand against the plated metal, Aleks pulled it away, laughing at the kid.

Swinging the title over his left shoulder, Mason continued to walk to long path to the ring. Aleks made it to the ring, standing only a foot away from his 20 by 20 habitat. Mason layed his championship on the ring apron, and jumped up onto the ring apron, using his left hand to grip the middle rope. As he brought himself to a vertical base, he grabbed the championship from the ground and stood outside the ring. Slowly, he swung one foot over the middle rope, ducking under the top rope to enter the ring. Mason held his title up in the air, getting more and more boos from the crowd. He smiled and winked at Samoa Joe, who he knew was immensely envious of Mason's reign as champion. Turning his back on Joe, he would climb the corner opposite of his opponent, once again lifting the title up in the air to demonstrate what it looked like to be a real world's champion. Looking over his shoulder at Joe, he let out a cocky chuckle, before climbing down the ropes. Mason once again swung the championship over his shoulder and stood in his corner as he awaited the introduction announcements for this matchup. His nerves and anxiety was no longer, he fed off the cheering and booing fans, his skin absorbed the arena lighting and the atmosphere of the entire event gave him energy. Mason was ready to go into this match, which was going to be brutal, tough, and unforgiving. Both of these men's careers will be shorter after this match ends, doing whatever it takes to win the most prestigious and desired prize in TNW:R.

"Ding Ding Ding!
This match is scheduled for one fall! And it's for the TNW:R Universal Championship introducing first the challenger from Huntington beach California, The destroyer SAMOAAAAAAA JOEEEEE!"

Joe snatches his towel as he quickly turns to the main camera in the audience and does his signature taunt as the crowd gives mixed reaction but "JOE'S GONNA KILL YOU!" Chants begin to fill the arena as the most built up and hyped match of the night is about to take place.

Aleks Mason watched as Samoa Joe paraded around during his introduction. A camera caught a glimpse of a growing smile on his face as the fans chanted about Joe's destructive nature. The ring announcer paused, before pulling the microphone up to their mouth once again. "And his opponent: from Las Vegas, Nevada.. He is the TNW:R Universal Champion. ALEKS MASON!" Mason removed his championship from his shoulder, walking straight towards Samoa Joe as he lifted the title into the air. Staring his opponent straight into the eyes, the referee pushed back on Mason so he would return to his corner. Giving the referee the title, he would present it in front of everyone, holding it up in the center of the ring. The referee passed the championship off to a ringside crew member, and would return to the ring. Checking if both men were ready, he would signal for the bell to be rung, starting this match up. Aleks would remove himself from his corner, beginning to circle the ring.  

[Cedric Alexander]

Joe exits his corner eyeing Mason with a serious look on his face as the hype is officially over and it's showtime. Joe puts his guard up getting in stance as he begins to slowly creep into Aleks range before going for a quick jab but only hitting air purposely missing just to inform Mason that his hand speed is definitely up to par before now going in for an traditional tie-up.  

[User 27621113]

Mason would dodge back as Samoa Joe threw a punch that was only intended for intimidation. He would snap into the collar-and-elbow tie up with his opponent, however knowing the strength difference, Mason would pull out a dirty move and rake the eyes of Joe.  

[Cedric Alexander]

Joe gets the quick thumb as he immediately shoves Mason back and walking away before bending over blinking multiple times favoring his eye that caught the most damage.  

[User 27621113]

The audience would boo after Mason's heel tendencies. The referee warned the champion about the dirty move, saying something like that could possibly lead to disqualifications. Mason would take the opportunity of the blinded Joe to send multiple punches to his head, to hopefully push him towards the corner.  

[Cedric Alexander]

Joe suddenly feels his body pushed forward as he cover himself backing into the turnbuckle corner.  

[User 27621113]

Mason would run to the opposite corner of Joe. He would allow his back to collide into the corner. Then, with all his speed he'd sprint towards Joe. However at the last second, he would slide out of the ring, grabbing Joe's leg from outside the ring trying to trip him fast first.  

[Cedric Alexander]

Joe sees Mason com in and quickly tried to grab him however he wasn't expecting the slide as Joe face plants the mat once again being outsmarted by the champion as Joe rolls over holding his jaw.  

[User 27621113]

Mason would laugh as the fans boos increased. He would try to reach underneath the ropes for Joe's legs. He attempted to pull him towards the ring post. Mason would extend Joe's leg outward, before attempting to slam it into the ring post  

[Cedric Alexander]

Joe let's out a horrific roar as he sits up and scoots himself backwards away from the turnbuckle as Joe craddles onto his side down on the mat favoring his attacked leg.  

[User 27621113]

The commentary team commented on Mason's early attack on Joe's legs, taking out the vertical base of the larger opponent. Mason would roll into the ring to break the referee's count. He would walk towards Joe, going for a stomp on the right leg, which had been the target so far.
