United Center - CHICAGO, Illinois
The Home of MADHOUSE
The show starts with a far view from the crowd, they cheer a lot, the camera start focusing on some specific people from the crowd, who are wearing T-Shirts from the Old-School EAF, wrestlers like Randy Orton, Alanna Torres, Sheamus and Diesel can be seen.
Renee: Welcome everyone to the first show of our newest Extreme Action Federation! I'm Renee Young and I will be conducting the commentary section with him, The Suplex Machine, TAZ! What an honor to be here today, look the energy of this place, people were anxious for this comeback!
Renee: For a better view from what can we expect we also have here with us today, him, you may recognize him from our previous years as the General Manager of EAF and here he is again as your current GM, Marcos Del Rio!
Del Rio: Hey, mi amiga, that's correct! Here we are with the restructured and ressurrected EAF, and by the correct price here I am to put an order on this chaos, and I will put it, Taz, don't give me that look, I can guarantee you I'm gonna do that.
Taz: Good Night, kids, Taz here talking and I believe we need to align our expectations, Del Rio, don't get me wrong, you used to be the boss's right hand, The Business Anti-Hero, Gabriel, so-
Del Rio: Cabron... Let me get this straight, cause everyone have been asking me this, Gabriel is not the face of leadership. He is part of the board of the directors, yes, he is. Did he ask me to assume this position once again? Si! Pero, this new Era required a different approach, and talking about it..
[Nigel McGuiness entrance]
Nigel makes his entrance by the cheering of the crowd, as he tries to hide his surprise to the crowd's reaction. People notice he wears a suit in a way to show his position in the company. He steps into the ring with a mic on his hand, walks around the ring patiently and waves to the commentarists.
On the ring we can see there are 3 Championship Belts covered by a fabric. Nigel stops in the middle of the ring and starts talking.
Nigel: Hello, my name is Nigel McGuiness [The crowd cheers] And I am the new Chairman of this company. [There is a mix of cheering and booing]
Nigel: Ok, I got it, I am not the face you might have been expecting, but this is a different Era and I am the face you will need to get used to. Get over it. I am here to do what had been necessary to be done, to be the one taking the hard decisions, and I don't mind taking them. That's it, that's business. [The booing increases]
Nigel: [He gestures to the crowd low their booing] OI! Let's not start like this, fellas. Let's talk about business, then? First of all, welcome, this is the Madhouse, the Home of E-A-F, here's where our weekly shows will take place, here's where we are gonna find out who's capable of being relevant, of being strong enough to represent this company.
Nigel: Each match counts, each action matters on Madhouse, each situation affects your ranking, and the ranking determines the first contenders for our championships. And talking about them, there will be, for this moment, 3 major titles:
[Nigel unfolds revealing each Title]
The EAF Tag Team Championship Belts!
The EAF Women Championship Belt!
And... The EAF World Championship Belt!
[The crowd cheers louder]
Nigel: Alright, alright. But how are gonna find the ones who are going to hold those titles? It's simple, contests, where are gonna have some contests, we are gonna have the I Fear No Tag Team Contest, the Break Out World Champion and The Medusa Contest. Today they all start, to finally determine our New Era Champions! So-
COMMENTS
Taz: Oh boy, oh boy, is she!?
Renee: It definitely is, Taz, the old school EAF recognizes this song from miles!
Del Rio: Mierda!
Alanna Torres, the first Divas Champion of EAF it's on the stage, the crowd cheers loudly, they chant her name, "Legend" and even "Alanna is God!". We can see some signs made for her. And she goes down the ramp with the old Divas Championship Belt.
She enters the ring showing the Belt to Nigel.
Alanna: Nigel... You are new to this, so I will pretend you haven't forgotten who rules this company, who had been ruling this company since she stepped her foot on this ring! I will pretend you don't know who IS the Champion, no past tense.
Alanna: There is no contest to decide something that WE ALL know the result. Alanna IS the contest, and they all should be fighting to decide who is strong enough to get to ALANNA LEVEL, not the opposite. You see, that's why they booed when they didn't see the face of the REAL BOSS-
Nigel: Oi?! You are not talking to the old boss, don't make me regret hiring you back...
Alanna: Regret?! Dear, I'm making you a favor for coming back, I'm the MoneyMaker of this place! [The crowd cheers] This wouldn't exist without Moi! The "A" in EAF stands for Alanna. There is no contest, there is The Champion and you all are looking at her!
[An unknow theme hits]
COMMENTS
Renee: You'd better pay attention right now, that's Jade Cargill right there, she has a path of destruction on the indie scene. And now she is here with us!
Taz: Renee, that woman is a beast! Strength and Athleticism, just like me on the old days. What an addition to our roster, the level has gotten SO FUCKING HIGH!
Alanna is still confident on the middle of the ring, Jade enters the ring going straight to Alanna, both stares and exchange some harsh words, when it looks like it's going to start a brawl another old EAF theme can be heard.
COMMENTS
Taz: Huh? This fucking idiot?
Del Rio: Funny story? That man has asked to come back.
Renee: That's a man with unfinished stories, Del Rio, welcome back, Dashing Rhodes!
Alanna looks proud on the ring, Nigel looks like he is going to lose his mind. Nigel takes the microphone in the middle of Rhodes's entrance Nigel starts talking.
Nigel: No, no... NO! This is not the old EAF, you are not turning this into your pleasure script, any of you, Torres and Dashing. You know what? Fuck it. You, Alanna, will get a little treat, you are already on the finals of The Medusa Contest to decide who is going to be the first New Era Champion. But don't think that's my way of saying thanks for all your work. It's not, that's how you're gonna see each new wrestler that is here, and how capable they are of beating you, that's it, I am going to put a fucking target on your back!
Nigel: Jade, make me proud of hiring you.
Nigel: And about you, Rhodes, you got yourself on our FIRST MATCH of the night, and guess what, it's the first round of our Break Out Championship Contest! Your oponent it's comming directly from The Church of Lost Souls, I am talking about The Hangman, Adam Page!
[The crowd cheers, showing their support to the rookie wrestler, Adam Page]
Accompanied by The Father, Vincent. Adam Page walks down the ramp serious. Alanna, Jade and Nigel pass beside them. Page and Vincent don't even look at them, Page stares Dashing Rhodes, while Vincent prays energetic, before entering the ring, Vincent says a couple words with Page, they do a little pray and Adam rushes into the ring.
Both men keep on the corner of the ring, they look at each other. It's notable that Rhodes is feeling nervous, in complete opposite to Adam Page, who seems to be not feeling anything. The Announcer starts announcing the man who comes from Georgia, USA, it's him Daaaashing Rhodes! And on the other corner of the ring it's him, one of the members of The Church of Lost Souls, Adaaaaam Page!
The ring bells!
The match starts with both men testing their forces, by the time of experience, Rhodes uses this moment to stomp Page's foot, which makes the crowd start booing Rhodes. Page gets angrier and grabs Rhodes by the arm and throws him to the ropes, as Rhodes comes back he is hit by a clothesline from Page.
Rhodes stays on the ground while Page quickly grabs Rhodes arm again, now pressing him into a wrist lock. Rhodes screams in pain. Page puts Rhode's hand on the ground and stomp on it. Still not satisfied, Page now grabs him by the neck making him be standing with Page. Page goes to the ropes to get impulse for one more Clothesline, but as a muscle memory, Rhodes hits him with a Back Elbow.
Page turns his back to Rhodes, which is enough time for Rhodes hits Page with an Elbow to the back of his knee. Page goes to the ground near the corner, he sits on the ground in front of the corner. Rhodes, who is still feeling a lot of pain on his arm, starts kicking Page on his chest. He puts his foot on Page's neck on a way to suffocate him.
But he is doing it on the corner, so the referee starts counting until 5: 1- Rhodes is still going; 2- He complais something to the referee but he doesn't stop; 3- He stops but on a second he does it again; 4- He finally stops it!
The referee starts checking on Page, when he leaves, Rhodes runs in direction of Adam Page, and he hits his Double Knees on Page's face. Page starts crawling to the center of the ring, Rhodes taunts to the crowd, not noticing the movement from Page, on the center of the ring, Page tries to get up but he is doing it so slow, that makes Rhodes start making fun of him, Rhodes is so confident into the match that he shows his face to Page saying: "Hit me! I dare you to hit me!".
Page slaps Rhodes so damn strong that it made a strong noise, Rhodes stumbles but Page gives another slap, not as strong as the first but as effective. Now is Rhodes going to the corner, but standing. Page goes after him, and not losing any time he gives a Chop to his chest. And another, and another.
The crowd cheers louder and louder. Page goes to the other corner to get impulse to hit Rhodes, he runs to the corner trying to apply a Clothesline to the corner, but Rhodes escapes going under his arm and runs to the other corner, Page goes after him, Rhodes steps the ropes getting impulse to jump from the corner and apply a Rhodes Cutter! But Adam catches him mid-air and showing an enormous strength he modifies into a Deadlift Rite of Passage!
He goes to the pin:
1........2.......3!!!
Adam Page wins and goes to the Semi-Finals for the Break-Out World Championship Contest!
COMMENTS
Taz: That's what I'm talking about, send this idiot back to the wings of Torres, and- Shit! What is he doing?
Cody doesn't accept the loss, and while Adam and Vincent celebrates, Cody starts attacking the referee! Nigel and Del Rio runs to the ring accompanied by some other wrestlers, they hold him.
Nigel looks furious, and he sends him to the backstage, he screams at Rhodes: "I'd better not see your face next week!"
COMMENTS
Renee: Well, that escalated pretty quickly.
Del Rio: Mierda. Don't even tell me, Renee.
Renee: We are going to a little break, but please stay tune, this night have just begun.

RETURN
We are in the locker room and we can see the legendary Pro Wrestling Manager, Paul Heyman, talking to people but we still don't know who they are.
Heyman: Nah, nah. We do not accept anything less than that. This company needs to learn how to respect not only its own history, but the wreeestling history. We are going to make them understand their position in the food chain.
COMMENTS
Renee: We are back with EAF, Madhouse!
Taz: Hey, Renee, you know anything about that? Paul Heyman is here?
Del Rio: Yes, he is, Taz.
Taz: Are you kidding me, that son of a bitch?
Renee: Taz!
Taz: C'mon, Renee. Are you telling me you are not surprised? That man is dangerous, and whomever he is allying with, it's on a highspeed highway heading to collision.
Renee: And here he comes!
Paul comes to the ring with no theme song, he has a smarky smile on his face, clearly on a mission. Wrestling fans already respects this man, and for the first time, he is on EAF.
Heyman: Ladies and Gentleman, my name is Paul Heyman!
[The crowd cheers]
Heyman: I have been on this business for years, I've seen the rise and fall of too many stars. There's nothing beautiful on it, when you look at it too many times, this close, you could even get blind. And that's something I'm not allowing myself to see it. Not anymore.
Heyman: If you looked at this place years ago, I bet you could see these stars. These stars weren't only Champions on this ring. They weren't what was once called Superstars. They were Kings, who am I kidding? They were THE KINGDOM Itself.
Heyman: So, in my new road of not letting these stars fade, these kingdoms fall. I have a challenge, easy as it sounds, to make them once more reclaim the position which should have never been taken from them. I present you, my new Clients...
Randy Orton and Sheamus make their entrance to the ring, they had their fair share of fights, but now they seem proud and anxious. The loud cheers make them look around the arena, they give each other a fist bump and enter the ring, shaking hands with Paul Heyman.
Heyman: These two legendary wrestlers, got nothing from all the years they have wasted in the prior years. I could try to say they have earned your respect by the cheers, t-shirts and signs you share here today. But let me ask you a simple question, where was your respect when these two men were doing what they had to do? You were booing, complaining and calling names. [The booing increases]
Heyman: You see? That's what I'm talking about. But these two men are going to make you swallow these "Boo"s. I present you: The Old Kingdom, the first Tag to enter the I Fear No Tag Tournament. [There is a mix of applause and booing]
They start getting comfortable on the ring while the referee appears, they are waiting for the next Tag Team to enter the ring. There's a loud silence coming from crowd. They eager to know who is in the New EAF. Are they old the Wrestlers? Are they new ones? Do we have the most exciting free agents here today?
COMMENTS
Taz: You gotta respect what they are doing. How's it for you, Del Rio, watching the both of them on the ring? Are you gonna complain about something, huh? For the old times?
Del Rio: Taz, don't get me wrong, amigo. But I expect nothing from any of them.
Taz: What? Gabron-
Del Rio: It's CA-bron.
Taz: That's what I said, dude.
Renee: Cut it, Taz. Let's check who is coming to this tournament, and I want to remind you that we still have other the first round of The Medusa Contest!
Del Rio: And also the other matches of the Break Out Tournament!
Taz: But now, it's Tag Team Extravaganza!
An Unknown theme hits, a man starts entering the the stage, he is wearing a clown make up and carrying a microphone with him.
?????: Violent J in the area, bitcheeees!
Violent J: Are you feeling it? I bet you are. If you don't know who we are, we are The Violent Intentions, and the violence has just started. Today I present you, two of our collaborators, two brothers, not only on this business, but blood brothers. If you ever looked into the worst parts of this business you have seen them.
Violent J: Bring your fuckin' asses here, Tonga and Fatu, show these old schoolers how we do in the south!
Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu enter the ring completely collected, they know the importance of being intimidating on this moment. It's their first match on EAF.
The match starts with an air of superiority by Randy and Sheamus, may be their historic on EAF on the past years, may be the presence of the legendary Paul Heyman, both men act like they need to finish a simple task to procede their day. On the other hand, Tonga feels anger by being misjudged by these wrestlers. THE BELL RINGS!
Randy will be the legal man on the beginning of this match against Tama Tonga. Both men get closer, Randy tries to attack with a punch, Tonga blocks! Everyone gets shocked! Tonga tries a punch, he hits! And another! His sequence of punches takes Randy to the corner! But the years of experience makes Randy reverse and put Tonga on the corner: Chop! The crowd scream! Randy gets full of confidence and puts Tonga on the headlock, and attacks him with his knee! Randy walks towards Tonga who answers with a chop and connects with a Dropkick! Tonga tags Fatu, who starts walking towards Randy, pissed by being dropkicked Randy unwillingly tags Sheamus.
Fatu and Sheamus stare each other, until Sheamus decides to try a clothesline which doesn't make Fatu move a inch, so Fatu decides to get impulse from the ropes to apply a clothesline himself, but when he gets to the ropes Sheamus throws him to the outside, Fatu holds on the ropes so he won't fall, but Sheamus pulls him closer to the ropes, and starts delivering the punches to the chest. The crowd cheers, and when they start cheering louder, Sheamus stops. Sheamus cleans his hand, and Fatu rolls into the ring to tag Tonga, but wait- Heyman?! Heyman starts talking to Tonga, distracting him. Fatu can't makethe tag and Sheamus grabs him by the leg and stomps his back. Sheamus starts getting more confident and grabs Fatu by the neck and apply a short-arm clothesline. Heyman gets happier and Sheamus throw Fatu on his corner, on a attempt to make tag with Randy, but Tonga holds Sheamus they start arguing, Randy talks angrily to Sheamus focus, but Tonga jumps from the springboard, applying an Springboard Cutter! Randy enters on the ring, Tonga rolls out!
Randy grab Sheamus by the neck, and they start arguing, Fatu now fully recovered decides to apply a Spear on Randy, but OUT OF NOWHERE: RKO from Randy to Fatu. The crowd goes crazy, Sheamus goes for a pin, but Tonga enters the ring and OUT OF NOWHERE: RKO from Randy to Tonga.
1.............2.............3! Randy and Sheamus, The Old Kingdom secures the victory, and both of them advances on this tournament!

Del Rio: Two women who if you don't know them by now, you won't forget them at all!
[The Hype Video Starts]
And on the other side we have Rhea Ripley, from Adelaide, Australia. Destroying anyone on her way, from Asia to Europe. Competing on these different regions you can see what a fast learner she is. But her speciality is Brutality! Rhea is Brutal, in any kind offense, her attacks will hurt you, no matter who you are or where you came from, be careful!
[The Hype Video Finishes]
[Rhea Ripley makes her entrance]
[Sasha Banks makes her entrance]
After 20min of a well-balanced match, we have the two women, learning with each other after every move. Any of them even started breaking any sweat. Sasha runs into Rhea that tries a clothesline, but Sasha goes under her arms and goes to ropes to get impulse. Rhea turns to catch her, but Sasha applies a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors! Wow! The crowd cheers. Sasha knows the power Rhea has, so she goes after her arms applying a Fujiwara Armbar! But Rhea is strong, and turns into a Old-School Roll Pin! Wow! 1......! Not even got to the 2! Both women stand fast and they starting exchanging Forearm Smashes! Sasha blocks one attack and apply a Hurricanrana! And a Jumping Elbow Attack! She doesn't stop! She goes to the top corner, but Rhea crawls to the corner too. Seeing the opportunity, Sasha attacks with a Meteora!
She is not going to the pin... She is going to the other corner, she wants to apply a Running Meteora into the corner, but Rhea catches her and puts her in Electric Chair position. Facebuster to the Corner! Ouch!
Rhea can breath now, but she'd rather kick Sasha face. She doesn't stop so the referee separates them. Rhea pulls Sasha by her leg. And she is pulling Sasha, but sasha keeps falling, she wants to put her in position for a Riptide, but is taking so long. Finally Rhea applies her RIPTIDE!
1.......................2...................KICKOUT! Rhea can't believe! She grabs Sasha again, now easier than the first time to apply a second Riptide! NO! Sasha escapes while on the air and gets behind Rhea already applying BANKS STATEMENT!
Rhea is resisting....................................................She passes out! KO! Sasha WINS!
