Welcome to Gaia! ::

After connecting with JKO, Jed quickly went for the cover. However, from his daze King stood at ringside, and quickly noticed Jed going for the pin. Suddenly King's veteran instincts kicked. He quickly slid in under the ropes and popped up to his feet, hurrying over to Jed and Riker, where he dropped a solid elbow across Jed's shoulders, breaking the count before the three.

Jed crawled off of Riker after feeling the effects of the elbow. King then began to stalk Jed, as Jed got to a knee 2.0 grabbed at Jed's head and drug him to both feet, tightly wrapping his arm around his head. With Jed's head snug under King's arm, the One True King fell back and planted Mr. Gimmick's skull into the canvas with a loud thud. The impact of the DDT caused Jed to spin over onto his back, and ever the crafty veteran, King took advantage of Jed's JKO on Riker and leaped over to Johnathan, going for a cover much like Jed. However enough time had elapsed for Riker to recover and he managed to kick out of the pin on his own free will.

Going frustrated, King lifted Riker's head off the canvas and began to send clubbing forearms into the Dark Spot's chest. With each shot Riker's convulsed on the mat, nearly helpless after JKO. After pummeling Riker with forearms King decided to bring out his trump card, and finish the fiasco they called a match. He got to his feet and headed over to the ropes, sliding out of the ring, King walked over to the corner he entered at and grabbed he's Scepter, The All Mighty Sledge. King grasped the great equalizer in his hands and eyed with a look of grandeur and awe. Then after soaking in the glorious sight of he's scepter, King entered back into the ring.

2.0 then crouched in a corner as he measured up both his opponents, Jed and Riker. Seeing that Jed was starting to get to his feet King decided that was the one to take out first. Having recovered from the DDT, Jed had made his way over to the corner where he used the ropes to help him stand. Looking at the turnbuckle as he stood he had no idea King was waiting in the wings. Just as Jed stood, King charged. Midway through the run King cocked the sledge back in both hands, and just as he thought he was about to take Jed. It came apparent that Jed was a veteran as well as King had ran right into a back elbow. King dropped he's scepter and staggered back a bit from the blow, holding his jaw in pain. However he seemed a bit more fresh then Jed and was already charging back at Jed out of anger. Of course through, rage is blinding and Jed was determined to get back in this. He side stepped King's charged and used his momentum against him to slam his head into the top turnbuckle.

King's head rattled as it bounced off the turnbuckle. Stumbled backwards, Jed took this opportunity to hit another JKO. Leveling King on the mat, Jed was certain the end was near. He turned his attention over to Riker, who was just now starting to get back to his feet, via help from the ropes. Jed made his way over to Riker and grabbed to hand fulls of hair. Instantly Riker swatted Jed's hands away and sprayed a black mist into Jed's face. Temporarily blinding him. Jed staggered back frantically swinging his arms as he tried to regain his vision. Johnathan now, for some reason had seemed to snap. He merciless booted Jed straight in the knee, forcing the blind Jed to drop to one knee. Riker quickly ran to the ropes, bouncing back he came back, full speed charging at Jed. Before Jed could could get back to his feet he was nailed with a sickening Malicious Strike!

After connecting with the Malicious Strike Riker got back to his feet, and let out a roar of anger and determination. He began to seething at the mouth, like a savage animal. Looking at Jed's nearly motionless on the ground from the Malicious Strike, The Nightmare, Johnathan Riker turned his unforgiving gaze over to King. Who was using the ropes to help stand after recovering from Jed's JKO. 2.0 got to both feet and was now on noodle legs. With one hand keeping him standing, King finally let go so he could stumble over to the other, however he wouldn't get the chance. As soon as that hand left the ropes, Johnathan pounced on King's back and wrapped his legs around his waist and arms around his throat, locking in the Blackout Submission hold as quickly and tightly as he could. As soon as it was in, the crowd exploded to they're feet. They knew these were the last few seconds and we're loving it.

King scrummed around as best he could, trying to fight out off the Blackout, but it wasn't happening it was to far into the match. Riker screamed as he squeezed harder and harder with his arms and legs. Trying to crush King like a anaconda. Jed heard the roar of the crowd and tried to act fast. He began to get up as quick as he could but by the time he got to his feet he saw 2.0 reluctantly tapping. The sight of King tapping was so disappointing Jed collapsed to the canvas. That's when the ware of the match finally caught up with him. He quickly grew exhausted, and his body was starting to feel sore.

After King tapped, the ref called for the bell. It took a couple seconds but Johnathan finally realized that it was the end of the match. He was relieved he survived. So he released the hold and let King roll off of him. Riker then relaxed his body and sprawled out across the canvas next to King, as the ref was handed the title so he could award Johnathan with it. Johnathan slowly rolled to his hands and knees and looked up to the ref with the title. Looking up the Ref's face Riker had on a look behind his mask that showed just how exhausting and demanding the match was. It also looked as through he couldn't believe it as he stared at it like a curious animal his hands just inches from the title. Then suddenly he snatched the gold from the Ref's hands an held it close to him, staring at the glistening gold of the strap. On his knees Riker clenched at the title as after the three years with EEW, he'd finally left his mark as one of the best, claiming a spot in the list of names to grace the title.

Suddenly Johnathan music hit the PA as the ring announcer declared Riker the winner. Johnathan then crawled out the ring, and got to his feet on the outside. Stumbling and stagger up the ramp, Riker held the title by one of the straps and let the other hang to the floor. Bring it up to chest level ever so often to look at what he won. He made his way up the ramp backwards as he couldn't believe the amount of energy and strength it took to finish the match. Then with his crooked posture Riker turned and walked through the curtain as the PPV faded to black. Ending with EEW's logo gracing the screen one last time.
