Hood: Hey, the guy's got a point. The Lost Soul clearly cheated, and never should have been allowed to put his hands on Lionel.

Rockwell: He was leaping outside towards Ryot, and Ryot put Lionel in the way!

Hood: Not from where I stood, Ryot tried to SAVE Lionel! But that's besides the point. No one should have let The Empty's music play.

Rockwell: Unfortunately, it happened, and tonight, Ryot has a chance at some revenge, even though we're still not sure if it was set up by The Reason or The Lost Soul.

"I wanna be Jekyll but I'm always fucking Hyde!"

*This is the first line of "Jekyll & Hyde" by Five Finger Death Punch to break the silence before the curtain gets pushed out of the way. Strobe lights move and flicker to the beat and guitar riffs of the song. The Reason leads The Empty out from behind the curtain, the former stoic yet buzzing with sadistic glee. The Empty, once seeing the squared circle in front of him, stretches its arms out with a great roaring cry, breathing heavily and menacingly.*

*Without warning, it charges into the ring and stares at its opponents and teammates alike with a deep-seated hatred and desire for destruction. Its posture screams aggression as it leans forward, fingers clenching into barrel-like fists before releasing, squeezing all the muscles in its arms with each fist made.*

Rockwell: I'm amazed The Empty can still stand after that whipping he took from The Reason during the week.

Hood: You can't deny, though, that it's made a dangerous beast here in the GCWA. The Empty is probably the last person I'd want to be in a room with... well, maybe Zybala... then Alice... but then The Empty...

*The Bell Rings.*

Rockwell: Here we go! It's not about pinning your opponent this time, it's about beating him so badly that he can't stand up!

Rockwell: Ryot's shown he's got skills in the ring, but this is going to be so different!

*Ryot walks towards The Empty, talking trash towards him. The Empty doesn't react, just standing there, motionless. Ryot stares at him, then lashes out, hitting a series of strikes and kicks! The hits have an effect, but The Empty just straightens up again after the shots, basically no-selling them. Incensed at this lack of reaction, Ryot turns and goes off the ropes, running back for a high knee strike, but The Empty catches Ryot in mid-air, holding him up! Ryot, surprised, still reacts quickly, smacking The Empty with a shot to his right ear! The Empty drops Ryot, shaking his head clear, then turns back, as Ryot runs in with a leaping forearm shot to the head! The Empty takes a few steps back into the ropes, staying upright. Ryot, seeing this, charges for a crossbody, but The Empty once again catches him, this time giving Ryot a fallaway slam to the outside!! Ryot manages to partially land on his feet, throwing in a roll to get rid of the momentum. He gets to his feet, looking up at the monster standing in the ring, watching him.*

Rockwell: So far, Ryot's throwing every shot he can against The Empty, and it's hard to tell any effect!

Rockwell: Usually I'd rather they do it with their own hands, but I gotta admit, that might be Ryot's only chance!

*Ryot, seemingly coming to the same conclusion, is looking under the ring. He finds what he's looking for, pulling out a kendo stick! He swings it, showing he's got some knowledge of using it as he turns to enter the ring again. However, The Empty has decided not to wait. He's outside the ring now, stomping towards Ryot! The Natural acts quickly, swinging the stick and smacking it off of The Empty's right arm! He swings again and again, trying to drive The Empty back, but The Empty manages to pin the stick between his arm and body, hanging onto it. As Ryot tries to pull it free, The Empty reaches out with his other arm, catching Ryot around the throat! Ryot lets go of the kendo stick and starts hammering on the arm, trying to get himself out, but The Empty doesn't release. He instead picks Ryot up with one arm and throws him backwards, causing him to smack into the nearby turnbuckle post!! Ryot falls to the ground, holding the back of his head, as The Empty gets the kendo stick and comes from behind, putting it into Ryot's throat from behind and choking him!!*

Rockwell: What power being shown by this monster!

Rockwell: I'm really wondering if anyone can stop The Empty!

*Ryot's slumping now, having no luck in getting oxygen. The Empty finally lets go, dropping Ryot to his knees. He then raises the kendo stick, smashing it across Ryot's back with such force that the stick shatters!! Ryot falls forward, not moving, and the referee immediately moves in. He backs The Empty up and starts the count. The fans, not wanting this one over so quickly, are pleading for Ryot to get up. After a count of 6, Ryot starts moving, reaching out and grabbing at the apron curtain. He pulls himself up, ending the count and keeping the match going. The Empty turns to The Reason, who smiles and points, telling him to get back to work. The Empty drops the remains of the kendo stick and goes towards Ryot, grabbing him as he turns and applying a Nerve Claw!!! Ryot is immediately driven to his knees from the hold, gasping in pain, as The Empty tightens his grip. But Ryot quickly lashes upwards with a huge low blow right between the legs!!! The Empty releases the hold, leaning over slightly, but Ryot doesn't stop there, throwing up another low blow!! A third!! A fourth!!! The Empty falls against the apron, finally showing some pain, as Ryot takes advantage of the situation to recover!*

Rockwell: There's always an equalizer!

Rockwell: I would assume that would make things a lot messier...

*The Reason has moved closer now, ordering The Empty to ignore the pain and attack. The Empty steps away from the apron and starts over to where Ryot is just getting up... with a steel chair! He smashes it straight into The Empty's face, sending the monster stumbling backwards! Ryot snaps the chair over again, hitting a second huge blow, but The Empty's still not down! Ryot turns and gets up on the apron, wanting higher impact. He runs with a yell, leaping into the air and coming down on The Empty... who punches the chair in mid-air, smashing Ryot backwards!!! The Empty holds his wrist, having done some damage to himself with the 'save'. but Ryot is down. He struggles to get up, grabbing at the chair, but The Empty steps on it, keeping it down. Ryot tries for another low blow, but that's blocked as well, with The Empty hauling him up and setting him in place, twisting him up for an apron powerbomb!! No, Ryot gets free in the spin and lands on the apron, throwing a V-Trigger knee into The Empty's head!! The Empty falls to a knee, as Ryot clings to the ropes to keep from falling.*

Rockwell: He's got him down!

Hood: He should be hiring a bunch of wrestlers to attack and hold The Empty down!

*Ryot is back up on the apron now, having saved himself. He looks down wearily at The Empty, who is already starting to rise back up. Ryot turns away, climbing up a few ropes before springing backwards with a moonsault!! He flips down, landing on The Empty's shoulder... and he spins it around, throwing Ryot off of him and sending him crashing through one of the tables!! The Spanish announce team runs for cover, as Ryot is laying in the wreckage! The referee comes over, avoiding The Empty, and starts a 10 count. Ryot struggles to get out of the debris, still moving, and manages to get back to his feet for a few seconds to stop the count. The Empty comes towards him, reaching out, but Ryot swings a television monitor, clanging against The Empty's head!! Glass flies from the monitor, as The Empty topples backwards, falling to his knees once again!! Ryot, off-balance, still jumps forward, nailing The Empty with a shortened version of RYOT Time (Shining Wizard)!!! The Empty drops to the ground for the first time!!*

Rockwell: Ryot's done it!!

Hood: Not yet he hasn't! He's got to stay down for the 10 count!

*The referee is there now, running through his count. He gets to 5 without sign of movement from The Empty, as Ryot staggers away, hurting badly himself from the crash through the table. The Reason has approached as well, yelling at The Empty to get up. Hearing this, Ryot starts heading The Reason's way, grabbing at him! Behind them, though, The Empty has sat up! He struggles to get up as the ref hits 7, then 8. The Empty gets his large legs under him at 9, rising up and stopping the count! Ryot shoves The Reason away and turns, running towards the Empty... who backdrops him overhead and into the crowd!!! Thankfully for the fans, this was part of the "social distancing" section, but it also means that Ryot crashes down not on bodies, but on empty chairs!! He lays upside-down in the wreckage, stunned, as The Empty slumps back down to a knee, putting a hand up to his mask. It comes off bloody, possibly showing that some of the glass shards made it through the mask!*

Hood: The Empty bleeds!

Hood: Now The Empty is The Predator? Actually, that's not much of a stretch...

*The Reason has no sympathy for The Empty's bloody skull. He yells at him to get up, pointing towards where Ryot landed. Since Ryot's not flat, the referee hasn't done a count. The Empty steps over the railing and goes over to him, pulling Ryot off of the chairs. He lifts the lighter wrestler onto his shoulder, carrying him up the aisle.The cameraman follows, making sure to get the best shots, as they get to an exit towards where the food and drink area is located. The Empty isn't headed there, though. He lifts Ryot up, treating him like a lawn dart by throwing him headfirst into the wall!!! Ryot falls to the ground, out of it, as the referee comes over to start the count. He doesn't get far, though, as The Empty himself breaks it up by pulling Ryot off the ground! He takes Ryot towards a camera structure, set up to give some height over the crowd. He throws Ryot into the structure... and Ryot desperately grabs at the poles, climbing up them!*

Rockwell: Ryot's trying to put some distance between him and The Empty!

Hood: It doesn't look like The Empty plans to give that to him...

*In fact, as Ryot is almost at the top, The Empty is scaling up the structure behind him! Ryot turns, seeing him coming, and struggles up to his feet. He turns to the cameraman who's still standing there, his mouth wide open. Ryot yells at him to get out of the way, and the cameraman quickly complies, hurrying back down the other side. In the meantime, Ryot puts the camera off its mount, turning around to where The Empty is almost up. He throws the camera, sending it crashing into The Empty and causing him to nearly fall! The camera goes flying, luckily not hitting anyone on the way down. As The Empty pulls himself back up, Ryot grabs a cable and brings it around The Empty's neck, yanking it tight!! The Empty, thrown off-balance, slips down the structure, but the cable holds, leaving him hanging by the throat!!! The Empty's arms desperately grab for a handhold as Ryot tries to tug as hard as he can, hoping to cause The Empty to black out... or worse!!*

Rockwell: He's choking The Empty out!!

Hood: IS HE??

*The Empty has managed to grasp the structure by now, pulling himself up to reduce the pressure. Ryot sags to the side, looking exhausted. He shakes his head and drags himself up, glaring down at The Empty as he climbs up once again. As The Empty reaches the top, pulling himself onto the platform, Ryot runs forward to try for another RYOT Time!!! But The Empty yanks on the cable still around his throat, causing it to trip Ryot up!! Ryot saves himself from a plunge, grabbing at the railing, and gets his balance back, but by the time Ryot's up, so is The Empty!! The two face off, with Ryot letting out a deep shout before leaping into a big boot kick!! He hits The Empty, driving him back to the edge!! Ryot laughs and leaps again for another kick, no, The Empty catches him and spins around, dropping with him OFF THE TOP with the Descent Into Madness (Avalanche Death Valley Driver)!!!!! The crowd gasps, with a "Holy Shit!!" chant soon following, as both men have disappeared from view!!*

Hood: Fuck! They're both dead!! We need new talent!!

Hood: Are you sure you ever want that shown on television? The censors will hate us!

*The cameraman moves around to a better vantage point, following the referee as he makes his way towards the wrestlers. We see a destroyed field of tables and seats, with the two wrestlers both lying in a heap inside the impact zone!! Neither appears to be moving as the referee starts a 10 count, looking concerned that he needs to get this match ended as soon as possible. He reaches five, six, seven... and The Empty stirs! The huge wrestler struggles to get up, even as the referee says eight... Ryot's trying to move as well, shuddering as he rolls to his side... nine... The Empty's on his feet! But Ryot's still down as the referee yells out "TEN!!" and signals for this one to be over!! The Empty staggers away, heading over towards where The Reason is waiting, a huge smile on his face.*

Minos: Here is your winner... The Empty!!
