A/N: Before this chapter starts I want everyone reading this now and later after it's published to know that since this book was made in 2022 and takes place in 2022 going forward from this and future chapters/episodes of ECW I will continue to use Jay Briscoe as a tribute to his and his brother Mark's legacy as "Dem Boys" the Briscoe Brothers. They were one of the best teams of this generation and both of their legacies will continue to live on. RIP to an amazing performer and an amazing father. If you don't feel comfortable continuing to read this I completely understand.

Joey: Holy shit that was unbelievable! Ladies and Gentlemen the medics are helping out Eddie Kingston but up next we have Matt Cardona defending his Television championship against a debuting star!

The cameras show Eddie and then go backstage to show Quinn ready to interview someone.

Quinn: We just saw a brutal display from Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley and that us just the beginning of Hardcore Heaven. But standing with me now is Wyatt Danger!

Wyatt walks into camera view as he smiles a little and hears the crowd cheer him as he nods a little.

Wyatt: Quinn thank you for having me I won't waste any of your time so I'll get to my point. I asked for this interview to say that I know Paul Heyman has brought in a bunch of talent and I am one of the first people to say that I want to face whoever wants to show up. I don't care who it is because I lo-

Wyatt stops talking as he sees a familiar face walk into camera view as he looks confused until Adam Cole comes into camera view and takes Quinns mic.

Adam: You're not needed anymore right now. Wyatt Danger wow I never thought I'd see your face again but when Paul Heyman called me asking if I wanted to join I accepted immediately because I knew that I would get the chance to kick your ass again.

Wyatt looks at Adam as he chuckles a little and raises an eyebrow.

Wyatt: I'm sorry Adam but last time I checked I've beaten you more times than you've ever beaten me and that was because you had help from your buddies. Which sorry to tell you but only one of them is here so I don't think there is a chance of you beating me anytime soon. But if you're so confident that you will then maybe you'd like to try and back up your words on ECW.

Adam has a cocky smirk on his face as he nods and looks at Wyatt.

Adam: No because we're gonna have a match on my time and not on yours. So why don't you start getting ready cause when I beat you remember that it was because Adam Cole is better than you.

Adam drops his mic as he walks out of camera view and Wyatt shakes his head as he looks at Quinn who grabs her mic.

Wyatt: Sorry he's kind of a prick.

*Back in the arena*

Joey: Strong words from both men and am I excited to see that match whenever it may happen.

Quinn: Elle it's great to meet you and I just have a question and it's what does being in ECW mean for you?

Elle smiles again and can't seem to take the smile off her face.

Elle: It means the absolute world to me. I mean ECW has some of the best wrestlers in the world today and I feel so lucky and just amazing that I may have the opportunity to face some of the best. It's just amazing I can't believe it's real.

Quinn: That's great! Now trying to not get too personal was one of the reasons you signed here because your boyfriend Wyatt Danger being here?

Elle giggles and nods a little as she shrugs.

Elle: Yes it is because we've always made sure to try and stay close to each other as it's better for couples to usually be in the same promotion. Besides that it was only one of the many reasons.

Elle goes to say something until a 5'7 woman with blonde hair who has a noticeably curvy and muscular build that has a few piercings in each ear and in her nose with a few tattoos showing hugs her as Elle looks confused until she turns around and looks excited before hugging back.

Elle: Oh my god Sadie!!!!!

Sadie: Elle it's so great to see you again! Oh my god I haven't seen you face to face in what a year!? Since you left the UK!

Elle smiles at Sadie as she nods and pulls back from the hug and giggles a little.

Elle: Yea! It's so good to see you again!

Quinn looks a little confused but smiles a little as she chuckles.

Quinn: Sadie well I guess I can turn this into a double interview. I asked Elle this what does being in ECW mean to you?

Sadie smiles as she thinks for a second and then looks at Quinn.

Sadie: It means so much to me as this is my first time working in the states and I can't wait to show the audience not just in the areas but watching at home also.

Sadie smiles as she looks at Elle and giggles before she realizes.

Sadie: Hey maybe you and Wyatt can be the power couple of ECW! That would be so awesome for you two.

*Backstage*

A dark room filled with candles is shown by the camera as Tommaso Ciampa is no where to be seen before a cane can be heard hitting the floor as into camera view walks Father James Mitchell as he sits down wearing a red suit and holding onto his cane as he laughs into the camera.

FJM: Didn't think you'd ever see my face again? I've done a lot in ECW I managed The Unholy Alliance of Yoshihiro Tajiri and Mikey Whipwreck. I've managed monsters like Abyss and Judas Mesias. But now I have a new monster. A monster that is a true embodiment of Wrath. Everyone should be scared because you have never seen anything like this man. He's hardly a man at all he's a monster....There's someone in that locker room he has his eyes on...They will know soon enough who they are.

Father James Mitchell laughs again at the camera as it fades to black.

*Elsewhere*

Tommaso Ciampa looks at the camera in front of him as he's sitting in his gear with a bandage on his forehead and fixing his knee brace as he gets ready for the match.

Tommaso: Only a few days ago I was attacked by Malakai Black a man I've beaten before multiple times and no matter what he does tonight I will leave as champion. Nothing can stop me from going out to that ring tonight and beating Malakai Black 1...2...3 and becoming the brand new ECW World champion.

Taz: HOW IN THE HELL DID MALAKAI BLACK KICK OUT!? HOLY SHIT!!!!!!

Tommaso starts to get up and goes out of the ring as he looks under it and pulls out a barbed wire 2×4 and slides into the ring as he lifts up Malakai onto his knees and lifts up the 2×4 as he notices Malakai starts laughing.

Tommaso: What the fuck are you laughing at!?

Tommaso goes to swing the 2×4 until the lights go out all around the arena.

Joey: What happened!? Did he hit him with the 2×4 or not!?

The lights come back on and standing behind Tommaso Ciampa is Brody King!

Taz: HOLY SHIT!!!!! BRODY KING IS HERE IN ECW!!!!!

Tommaso turns around and Brody hits a brutal lariat sending Tommaso down to the mat before Brody picks him up and lifts him up onto his shoulder and hits a Gonzo Bomb!!!

Brody rolls out of the ring as Malakai is laughing and stands up before he puts his boot under Tommasos chin and slowly lifts him up before hitting a Black Mass and pinning Tommaso as the crowd boos and the ref starts the count.

Ref: 1...2...3!

The bell rings as the crowd boos even louder and Brody gets into the ring and the ref grabs the ECW World championship.

Justin: Here is your winner and STILL!!! ECW World champion MALAKAI BLACK!!!!

Malakai grabs the ECW World championship from the ref as Brody stands next to him and he slowly lifts up the championship listening to the crowd boo them both.
