About 15 minutes later...

Both Jarel and Johnathan Riker had been going at it since the sound of the bell, each trading off control of the match flow. The two superstars had slowly but surely made they way around the cell and over to the announcer's section. At that time Riker was controlling the match. He hit Jarel with a few hard right, and knocked him into the cell wall. As he leaned on his back against the cell, Riker charged forward, slamming a forearm into Jarel's head. Jarel doubled over holding his head, when Riker grabbed Jarel's hair and pulled him head first into the front of the Announcer's table. Jarel landed on his side, continuing to hold his head in pain. Riker walked over to the table and began to tear it apart. Ripping off the guard, mics, and TV monitors. The last TV monitor he had removed however didn't leave his hand. Riker clutched at the monitor's handle and waited for Jarel to stand and face him. When Jarel stood, he shook off the daze, and staggered around looking to Riker. Just as Riker came in to bash Jarel in the forehead with the miniature TV Jarel's instincts took over. He ducked under Riker's potential match-ender and spun around. Just as Riker turned to go at Jarel again, Jarel had slapped a hand around Riker's throat and launched him into the air. He hovered for a brief second and brought him down through the table, to the excitement of the crowd. Not that Riker was hurt or losing but for the fact that somebody had gone through a table, as it turned out both Jarel and Riker we're both pleasing the crowd.

As Riker lay in the rubble of the table, a not so familiar face in the match reappeared. Joshua Danielson crawled out from under the ring, and looked to see Riker down, and Jarel staggering on his feet. Jarel not noticing The Punisher, began to climb the cell wall. This is what the crowd was waiting for, for the match to finally be taken to an elevated level. Joshua still nearly fresh, and got to his feet and exited the cell. He then began to climb the demonic structure, managing to get to the top at the same time Jarel did. However he had gotten to his feet first. Joshua charged at Jarel as he got to his feet and hit him with a sideffect clothesline. Landing on his a** on top of the cell, Joshua got back to his knees and and lifted Jarel's head off the cell as he began to pummel his skull with a series of hard lefts, as Riker still laid in the pile of wood.

Joshua got to his feet after sending a barrage of lefts into Jarel's skull, he threw his fists out to the side as he let out a scream as if he had finally battle out of a losing situation. The crowd hated this and berated Joshua with a chorus of boos, and insults. Joshua grabbed a hand full of Jarel's hair and pulled him to his feet, however Jarel wasn't done yet. He quickly dropped to a knee and send a hard European uppercut into Joshua's jaw sending him reeling back. As Jarel was still on his knee, Joshua returned fire by sending a thigh into Jarel's head. Jarel fell back and landed on a forearm on top of the cell. Seeing Jarel in that position sparked Joshua's interest and dropped down next to him looking to lock in The Punishment! The crowd went nuts as Joshua struggled to fully lock in his submission finisher. All that could see was Jarel pushing at Joshua's arm, much like an MMA match, trying to keep Joshua from putting the exclamation point on the match. At that moment as the crowd was roaring, Riker began to stir. He slowly moved from his motionless state and struggled to get off the ground.

Remarkably Jarel began to send elbows into Joshua head, as he tried to reach down to grab Jarel's arm and push it into place. With each blow it weakened Joshua's chances at getting the submission. After a couple more shots Joshua gave up on try to submit Jarel, and scrambled away to recollect himself. Riker at that time had gotten to a knee. He flipped his hair back and saw both his opponents on top of the cell. He stumbled over to the cell and slowly, and painfully began to climb. Joshua and Jarel where unaware of Riker, and continued to battle atop the steel structure. Jarel struggled to his feet, as Joshua returned to deal more damage. And so Joshua and Jarel began to trade blows. That was until Joshua used one of his MMA strikes to stun Jarel. He hit him with a solid, and stiff elbow strike to the side of the head. Spinning Jarel around on impact, Joshua quickly scooped him up and had him laid across his shoulders with his stomach facing the arena ceiling. The crowd went silent for a breath second as Joshua spun him around and went to slam him into the cell roof with all the force he could muster at that moment. He drove Jarel through the cell with one Killshot. Just as the cell gave out Jarel flipped through the air once and landed straight on his back with a sickening thud. Causing the ropes and the apron curtains to shake on impact. Jarel laid sprawled out on the canvas, motionless. Standing at the edge of the opening in the cell, Joshua dropped to his knees a bit tired, and in disbelief on how much energy Jarel still had in him even after going through most of the match against Riker. He ran his hands through his hair as he stared down at Jarel, breathing heavily from the short bout he had with Jarel. As he stayed on his knees the crowd began to go into a frenzy.

That's when it him. Just thinking about how Jarel had fought Riker through most of the match he had just remembered who else was in the match. He got to his feet, and hesitated. Johnathan was right behind him, breathing heavily and silent waiting for Joshua to stand just right. As soon as he did Riker jumped up, wrapped his legs around him and locked in the Blackout! The crowd went nuts as Riker suddenly locked in his infamous Blackout submission. Joshua's free arm swung wildly as he dropped backwards landing atop of Riker as Johnathan quickly squeezed what energy Joshua had saved. On top of the cell the match was hitting it's climax as Jarel laid motionless in the ring and Riker had Joshua struggled for air and freedom. It only took a few seconds before Joshua was once again forced to succumb to the Blackout. He reluctantly tapped, as Johnathan used what strength he had to grab the win. The ref seeing Joshua tapping called for the bell. As the bell rang Riker screamed with fury and determination, not wanting to let go as he wasn't paying attention to the fact that Joshua was tapping and he had won the match. However the adrenaline had faded and Riker released the hold.

"Here is your WINNER, and STILL EEW World Heavyweight Champion!! JOHNATHAN!! RIKER!!!"

Riker pushed Joshua off of him as he got to his knees. He then looked for the quickest way off of the hellish structure. Seeing the opening he began to climb down, using the hanging cell roof to shorten the drop. He fell down as the ref approached with the title. Laying on his back Riker was handed his World Heavyweight Title and clutched it across his chest, breathing heavily as his music began to play. The camera zoomed in on Riker as he lay on his back with title held close to his chest, staring up at the ceiling of the arena through the intertwined steel wires of the Hell In The Cell. As the camera focused in on the shot of Riker and his Belt, it slowly faded out to end EEW's Biggest PPV, One Night Stand.
