Live From: Capital One Arena, Chicago, Illinois
Seating capacity: 20,356
Exclusive to NETFLIX
The signature orange and blue pyro illuminates the Capital One arena, lighting up the faces of everybody in camera range. Ace of Spades gets the audience's blood pumping as the camera focuses on the commentary booth.
Mike Clearwater: Welcome, everybody, to the first edition of Monday Night Metal! I'm Mike Clearwater, alongside my broadcast partner, Jonah St. Remington, and have we got a show for you tonight?
St. Remi: That we do, Mikey Boy! That we do! Fresh off the heels of his main event win last week, Braxton Locus finds himself once again in that slot, this time against yet another formidable opponent in Smith Jones.
Mike Clearwater: Yes, Smith Jones managed to knock off not one, but two other competitors last week. But can he topple Braxton Locus here tonight?
During their conversation, Ace of Spades shifts into We Own It as Damian Kaine starts off the show once again, this time flanked by one of APW's co-commissioners in Jason Zurra.
Mike Clearwater: And on that note, it seems our General Manager has yet another announcement to make!
St. Remi: Oh, god, kill me now. If I have to see this man anymore than normal, I want to tear my own eyes out.
DK and Zurra find their way to the center of the ring, Damian holding a microphone.
Damian Kaine: WELCOME! TO MONDAY... NIGHT... METAL!
The crowd pops hard, nearly overwhelming the camera's audio recording.
Damian Kaine: How're we doing tonight, Chicago? God, I feel like I haven't been here in forever! Okay, so, like last week, I just wanted to remind you guys. Five weeks. July 21st, APW will host its first ever Pay Per View, Alpha Showdown, Live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada! Come witness history as the first APW World Heavyweight Champion is crowned!
Jason steps up to DK and whispers in his ear. Damian stops and stammers for a minute.
Damian Kaine: You.. You wanna repeat that?
This time, Jason asks for a microphone.
Jason Zurra: we have an intruder in the building. My team are looking into it.
Damian Kaine: Okay. This is our first show, make sure it's...
Jason Zurra: I'll take care of it.
Damian Kaine: Good.
Damian looks up at the skybox, wondering.
A moment later, Damian leaves the ring without addressing the fans as Jason takes over the MC duties.
Jason Zurra: Uh... I guess I'm making that announcement then... Ladies and gentlemen, the Alpha Showdown will now hold 4 championship matches! Not only will the inaugural World Heavyweight Champion be crowned, but every championship will leave the MGM Grand around a superstars waist! Five weeks away, let's let the anticipation build! I'll see you all next week!
Jason Zurra hands the microphone off to Jessica Kaine as he exits the ring.
Mike Clearwater: Big news from Commissioner Zurra, we will crown ALL NEW CHAMPIONS in five weeks time!
