LIVE from the THE PIT in ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 |
EXT. THE PIT — PARKING LOT
The camera opens to a long limousine pulling up behind The Pit, slowly idling to a stop. The driver dutifully hustles to open the door, and out step the members of The Kingdom. Trixie Decker exits first, followed by Jezebel Jobs and Madison Carter, then the couple of Jace Parker Davidson and the UPRISING World Champion Samantha Tolson. Luis Montes rushes out with a camera person, aiming for an impromptu interview.
LUIS MONTES
Here we are in Albuquerque, New Mexico, making history in a historic location! It’s the Season 3 finale for UPRISING and here we have The Kingdom arriving to the building in style. It’s a big night tonight, do any of you have anything to say before the show begins?
JACE PARKER DAVIDSON
I know you got to do your job, Luis, but we just arrived here in New Mexico and we got to get ourselves situated for what the night holds for The Kingdom. Trixie here has a shot to bring home the Anarchy Title. I get to do battle with the undefeated Donovan Basch and then of course we got the big time show.
Jace turns and grabs the hand of Samantha Tolson. He raises it into the air and kisses the back of it.
JACE PARKER DAVIDSON
The best and most beautiful UPRISING World Champion that has ever lived. Samantha ‘my God she’s hot’ Tolson gets to step into the ring and put that title on the line because unlike others around here, she is a fighting champion!
Samantha blushes a bit before turning to Luis.
SAMANTHA TOLSON
I’ll repeat this until I’m blue in the face, Luis. I am not scared of anyone or any challenge. I’ll put the title on the line any time I’m asked. I hold this belt with an immense amount of pride, and I know what it means to be called the UPRISING World Champion. It will take a Herculean effort to take it from me, and if you're only after this for the money? You won’t have the heart to beat me for it.
MADISON CARTER
You know what this whole money thing reminds me of? Marisol Vilaro and her bullshit fitness garbage. It’s like she keeps shoving it down people’s throats and tries to make as much money as she possibly can because she knows eventually people are going to figure out it’s crap. Sounds like to me that Kevin Mears knows that his luck is only going to last but so long so he’s trying to cash in while he can before he ultimately flops as an in-ring competitor.
JEZEBEL JOBS
I can just bite him and solve all of our problems. He’s not that big to begin with, it’ll be easy for me to chomp him down to size!
Tolson grins at Jezebel, gently rubbing her shoulder.
SAMANTHA TOLSON
While I find myself inspired by your eagerness, sweet Jezebel, and very much appreciate it, I want him unblemished when he walks to the ring. That way he has no excuses and no other recourse to raise my hand after the match. He may call himself the Original Ace, but UPRISING’s Ace has been here since the curtain rose on the first show.
Samantha turns back to Montes with a warm smile.
SAMANTHA TOLSON
What we’re going to find out, Luis, is what happens when all of Kevin’s carefully laid plans get undone when he gets dropped on his head. All the brains in the world amount to nothing if he can’t back up that famous mouth of his. We’re going to test his heart and passion when he’s thrown everything at me and can’t keep me down. On this night, Kevin Mears gets pulled into the deep waters where the biggest shark in this company awaits, and we’ll all see what he's truly made of.
JACE PARKER DAVIDSON
Kevin has this weird sense of logic where he thinks being an ‘Ace’ makes him better. How does that make you better when there are multiple ‘Aces’ in his own faction? Mears has a million-dollar ego and a two cent body. The man fashions himself as this decorated war strategist but you know why those kinds of people are so successful?
Luis shakes his head.
JACE PARKER DAVIDSON
It’s the fact that they sit back in a cushy room and let everyone else to the fighting for them. Mears might just have a stellar career as a manager in his future but we’ll see how well all of his mental preparation works when Samantha suplexes him out of his boots. Luis, it doesn’t matter if it’s Mears, Amy, or Donovan. By hook or by crook, I promise you that season 3 of UPRISING will end tonight with a bang. Now if you’ll excuse us, the Kingdom has to prepare for the festivities.
Jace and Samantha walk past Luis and are followed by Trixie and Jezebel. Madison raises her FTW Championship belt over her shoulder and stops in front of the camera.
MADISON CARTER
Good luck tonight Vega and Baby Tigre! I know you’ll win those belts and then we can burn New Mexico down to the ground and party until season 4 begins!
Madison blows a kiss toward the camera and then walks off as the opening video for Solstice III begins to play.

INT. THE PIT — THE RING.
OPENING CONTEST
PRISCILLA WINTERS vs ANDREW GARRISON
As soon as the bell rings, Garrison’s cockiness causes him to move to the center of the ring and offer Priscilla the first shot. She looks hesitant at first, but then he starts talking down to her and promising there is no way anything she hits him with is going to do any damage. That gets under her skin quickly as he leans forward with his jaw out….only to eat a spinning roundhouse kick from the brunette that most certainly does hurt him. As he staggers backwards, reeling from the shot, Winters begins unloading with furious right hands at his head, one after another. She backs him into the ropes before sending him off for the ride. Garrison rebounds into a handspring back elbow followed by a sitout facebuster before Priscilla goes for the cover.
ONE
TW-NO.
He shoves her off the cover, but she remains on the attack with forearms to the back of his head as he tries to get up. Andrew heads for the ropes, and yanks referee Neil Rana to him as he uses a mule kick between Priscilla’s legs as she tries to grab him from behind. Since the official doesn’t see it, it works like a charm and gets him nothing but boos from the crowd. He quickly turns around, and begins using elbow smashes to the jaw before a corner bulldog into the corner drops her to her knees. He follows up with a full nelson suplex into a bridge for the cover.
ONE
TW-NO.
The plucky brunette gets her shoulder off the mat in time and Garrison puts the boots to her as she tries to get up. She tries to roll aside after that, and he yanks her back to her feet. He fires her chest-first into the far corner, causing her to collide and stumble backwards. He hits the near side ropes to drop her with a springboard crossbody followed by a cover with a handful of tights!
ONE
TWO
Rana stops counting when he sees the tights, and Garrison ignores the reprimand. He pulls Winters up into a stalling vertical suplex, letting her hang upside down for a few seconds before drilling her into the canvas. The ire of the crowd pleases him, and causes him to start antagonizing them as a result. HUGE MISTAKE! This gives Priscilla a chance to recover and surprise him with a backstabber before he can turn back around. The crowd quickly gets behind her again as she starts to rally. A running kneelift to the face staggers him before she hooks his head for a swinging neckbreaker. When he makes it back to his feet, she nails her scorpion kick signature and drops for the cover.
ONE
TWO
TH-NO!
SHOULDER UP AT THE LAST. POSSIBLE. SECOND!
She circles around behind him as he starts to get back to his feet, and immediately applies her cobra clutch submission. Garrison immediately tries to fight out of it, while the crowd is solidly behind Priscilla. When his movements starts slowing down, Rana moves in to check his arm to see if it falls three times. It drops once. Twice…..and then a third time before the bell sounds. Winters releases the hold, and gets her hand raised to a pop from the fans. What a fantastic opening contest!

WINNER (VIA SUBMISSION): PRISCILLA WINTERS
CUT TO:
BACKSTAGE
We are still early into the night here at Solstice and the challengers for the Unity Championships later tonight are getting ready to go. The duo of Los Tigres are not yet in their ring gear, still having a few matches before they are ready to go. Mateo in a pair of black jeans and a Los Tigres shirt, and Vega wearing the same shirt only hers is over a white dress that is under it. The two collectively put off a lot of nervous energy.
MATEO
This is the big one…I am both super nervous and super ready to go.
Mateo says this while rubbing his hands together, trying his best to stay focused while Vega has to pace a bit to do the same.
VEGA
I know we can beat them, we are better than these two. They need to be humbled and we can do it…
This sort of sounds like her trying to reassure herself and her son, still some doubt creeping in given the huge stakes and gigantic size of the show.
VEGA
I am going to get juice from catering.
Mateo gives her a nod of the head as Vega exits their locker room area and rounds the corner, her nerves made clear by her bit of a nervous walk. As she rounds the next corner she bumps into Kevin Mears ahead of his main event later in the night. He looks a little annoyed but quickly hides it when he sees her.
KEVIN MEARS
What’s up, Vega? Ready for your tag title match? Or ready for a snack?
He adds, noticing that she's heading towards catering.
KEVIN MEARS
I know the Manor well, it’s gonna be a long night at the office tonight.
Vega nods her head.
VEGA
Bit nervous for sure, crowd is electric. Really want these belts. How are you feeling?
KEVIN MEARS
I've been in better moods, honestly. The way things are going, we may have a new opening in the Aces. But that's not your problem. You and Mateo have enough on your plate.
Vega smiles at the title challenger.
VEGA
Uh oh. Trouble in paradise?
She pauses, looking genuinely concerned before continuing.
VEGA
But yeah I am barely able to stay calm without any extra drama. Are we Aces material?
KEVIN MEARS
You've shown the qualities I look for, that's for certain. Having tag titles would definitely be very…Ace-like. We do tend to attract titles.
Vega nods her head.
VEGA
Well let's begin with winning them and go from there.
Vega extends a hand for a shake. Kevin returns it before heading in the opposite direction as the show cuts to our first affiliate ad break of the evening.
