Clearwater: It’s Monday night and APW is back -- with a newly-crowned World Champion!
Remi: Was there ever any doubt? Frank Venable gave it everything he had, but Smith Jones is our own, one-hundred percent homegrown; APW’s finest competitor, and he proved that last week in Death Valley!
Clearwater: Smith Jones is building quite a reputation for himself here in APW, alongside his comrades in the Architects, who also came out on top in that tornado tag match!
Remi: Two other competitors went home with gold last week! Lucy Sixx drew first blood to become the new North American Champ, and Cecilia Ortiz bested Alex Scott in a ladder match for the Junior Heavyweight strap! Two of the hottest babes in the business, draped in APW gold, my dude! It doesn’t get any better than this!
Clearwater: So many things happened at 2020 Ways To Die, I’m still processing it all. Not only did we crown three new champions, we saw the rise of new talents like Salvatore Marino; Odin Balfore and Alex Richards both made strong statements regarding the upcoming tag tournament; and Spartan got involved in the opening match, attacking both participants -- apparently on Irina Ivanova’s orders!
Remi: I have questions, and that dude better have answers, bro!
Clearwater: Let’s hope he does. Plus, who attacked Jason Ryan, and why?
Remi: I think that Russian flag made it pretty clear, it had to be someone close to the boss!
Clearwater: I’d have to agree with you there, Remi, but who? Spartan again? He wasn’t afraid to show himself the first time.
Remi: Maybe it’s someone else, bro! Someone trying to keep their connection on the DL, you know? They might even attack again tonight!
Clearwater: Let’s hope not! We’ve got quite a show lined up, and I’d hate to see anything ruin it! We’ll be starting with tag team action as the team of Blade and Hixx take on the Alpha Bros! A fatal four way will see the debut of newcomers “Breezy” Eli Beazley and Trey Bouchet, alongside the impressive Salvatore Marino and the always-puzzling Flop.
Remi: Then my boi Jason Ryan mixing it up with former Junior Heavyweight Champ Alex Scott!
Clearwater: Cecilia Ortiz sees her first title defense this week, taking on one half of the Ronins -- Vincent Walker; and Lucy Sixx faces off against Warbird.
Remi: Hey, I like Warbird, he’s a certified badass -- but he’s got nothing on my girl Lucy!
Clearwater: And in our main event tonight, Architect Damon Warrens will go head to head with Jaice Wilds!
Remi: Wilds is coming off a big loss to Bonnie Blue at Action Wrestling last week. Makes you wonder how that’s going to affect him going into this match against a man who was dominant in his victory at 2020 Ways to Die...
Clearwater: That’s a good question, Remi. And we’ll find out later tonight! We’ve got a whole show to get through, starting with this tag team match right after this!
Smith Jones Segment
Ring Announcer Jessica Kaine: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… representing The Architects… he is your NEW Alpha Pro Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion… there is only one… SMITH JONES!!!!!
After taking in the ambiance a beat longer, Smitty strides confidently down to ringside, even slapping just one hand along the way, smilelessly. He mounts the steel ring steps and wipes his feet respectfully on the apron before parting the ropes and taking centre. He removes the belt and holds it aloft with his right hand to a potent mix of cheers and jeers. Still hasn’t won ‘em all over yet. Trying. He grins. He slings the title over his shoulder and reaches out to ringside for a microphone. Must be truth time again. Smith stands dead centre in the ring and stares directly into the main camera.
Smith Jones: I’m Smith Jones and, as promised, I am your brand new first-ever two-time Alpha World Champion.
Crowd: I’m right here! I’m right here! I’m right here! I’m right here! I’m right here! I’m right here!
Smitty: Yes. I am indeed right here. As always. I destroyed doubt once again. I struggled and I fought to overcome the odds again. In fact, all of The Architects shone at 2020 Ways To Die. We stole the night! Please allow me to indulge myself in the fact that I can do absolutely ANYTHING. While people keep talking about wanting to be The World Champion, I’m right here doing it. I hear people mouthing off about me. You don’t think I hear you people out there begging title matches like they’re being shot out of a T-shirt cannon? Even the current North American Champion can’t keep my savoury name out of her mouth.
Jones turns to face the entranceway with a grave glare.
Smitty: Lucy. You’re just another one of those people out there who thinks it’s easy to run around collecting belts like Pokémon. Have some damned respect for the belt you just won. You have any idea how many rancid tears Zee’s cried over the loss of it? Back off. Stay in your lane. You don’t want to step into the ring with this particular Smith Jones. I’ll make you revise your dreams. I don’t know at this moment who will face me at Liberty Or Death for the Alpha World Championship, but I am ready for ANYONE and ANYTHING they can throw my way. I don’t know about all of you, but I HATED my daddy. And I will do whatever it takes to be better than he could ever have dreamed to be. Get me, Luce? Someone stop me. Dare ya.
With that, he drops the mic and exits to the sound of “Architects” by Rise Against. He pauses at the top of the ramp and holds the Alpha World Title high above his head. Fade to commercial.
