Reo Raijin | Segment 1
The AW Camera crew unexpectedly catches Reo Raijin walking out of the men’s room backstage. As Raijin goes to push by the camera guy Reo is stopped as backstage interviewer Jenna Bauer steps in front of him holding a microphone in her hand. Without giving him a chance to agree or disagree to an interview she begins speaking.
Jenna Bauer: Reo Raijin I appreciate you taking a moment to speak to me, to the fans.
Raijin looks back at the men’s room door and then back at Jenna Bauer.
Reo Raijin: Yeah, sure I got a few moments.
Jenna Bauer: The Action Wrestling faithful have been watching you the past week after you made a pretty dramatic entrance into the AW by costing former cruiserweight Champion J.C. Keeton his match last week against Corey Bull. They want to know what you have in store for this week?
Reo Raijin: Jenna… Bauer? Is that right?
Jenna Bauer: That’s right.
She acknowledges that he was correct with her name.
Reo Raijin: Jenna, have you been in here?
The American Luchador motions towards the men’s room.
Jenna Bauer: No. I haven’t been in the men’s room.
Reo pushes open the door and begins to walk in motioning for both Jenna and the camera guy to step in with him. He stops in front of a urinal and points at it before turning back to Jenna.
Reo Raijin: Jenna, I just finished standing in this spot mere moments ago. Tonight, inside that ring, in front of the AW faithful. It’ll take just about as much effort to finish out there as it did in here. I know what you’re thinking. No, it’s not because Aurora Ray is a girl. No, it’s not because she’s smaller at five foot six and a buck forty five. That’s the average male wrestler response, right?
Jenna nods her head in agreement.
Reo Raijin: Well, Jenna, I’m not that guy. I’m the guy that will say that size doesn’t always matter. That the smallest of foes can defeat their larger opponent’s. That’s not why I’m gonna beat Aurora Ray tonight. I’m gonna win because I’ll be the better athlete inside that ring tonight. It’s that simply. Nothing more. Nothing less. Really. I have nothing else left to say.
Raijin stops speaking as Jenna thanks him for the few moments of time. Raijin turns to walk back out of the men’s room and then pauses as he turns back to the camera.
Reo Raijin: Oh, Aurora Ray, just for you. No. I didn’t wash my hands.

Reo Raijin vs. Aurora Ray
Adilene Floyd: The following contest is set for one fall . Introducing first...from Yamahashi, Japan...weighing in at 200 lbs...Reo Rajin!!!
The arena dims to complete darkness. "Kingdom" - Downstait begins to play and a red center spotlight appears at the top of the middle ramp with Raijin standing front and center, back turned to the crowd. He slowly spins to face the crowd, banging his head along to the music. He stares wide-eyed at the crowd who seems unsure of what to make of him. Raijin looks back and forth at each side of the crowd, before running towards the ring. He jumps up and slides under the bottom rope and does a roll into the standing position on the opposite side of the ring. He turns in a circle bringing his right hand up to his throat and his left arm raised in the air. He spits a red mist into the air and then spreads his arms out to his sides as his music comes to an end.
Adilene Floyd: And his opponent...from The Waters of Rebirth...weighing in at 145lbs..Aurora Ray!!!
The 'tron darkens, and we see heavenly light spill outward from it. As the blinding light clears, we see an image of Aurora in heavenly glory, with her arms out to her sides and her hands turned upward. Suddenly, white light spills forth up both sides of the ramps, and through the smoke we see a crowd of figures appear with a smaller figure in front of them. They walk forward, and Aurora Ray steps into the clear light with The Mass's hands on her shoulders. She approaches the ring, ignoring the fans as The Mass walks forward with her, before stepping up onto the apron. They open the ropes for her, and she steps in, before they follow after her. She falls onto her knees, and they hold arms up behind her in praise.
DING DING DING
Raijin leaps to the offense snapping off a dropkick to the chest of Ray that drives her into the corner. He charges forward and lands a second dropkick to Ray's chest causing her to slump to the mat in the corner.
Sensing an early advantage Reo sprints to the opposite corner and signals to the fans before barrelling toward his opponent and executing a sliding dropkick...
Aurora Ray pulls herself up sharply as Raijin slides underneath her and out onto the floor. The Mass shuffle silently toward the prone cruiserweight as he quickly finds his feet. With a looks of concern Reo backs up away from the slowly advancing mute crowd and pulls himself up on the ring apron, eyes still focused on the milling Mass who in turn seem content to stare back through their creepily done masks.
He turns to the ring just in time to see the elbow connect to his temple, staggering him and causing him to lean back on the ropes. She grabs him by the wrist and drags Reo through the middle ropes before slamming another elbow to the temple.
Raijin staggers toward the rope stunned from the blows and Ray follows up with sleeper choke, her forearm sliding under his chin. She turns her body so that the referee can't see the choke as she applies pressure, trying to weaken the larger man.
The ref raises athe arm of Reo Raijin and lets it drop
1
He raises the arm again and lets it drop.
2
He raises it a third time and lets it drop, but Reo pushes the referee away as the crowd reacts.
He drives an elbow into the midsection of Aurora Ray once, twice, thrice as her hold weakens. Sensing a change in momentum Ray shoves her shoulder into Raijin's back driving him against the ropes.
Reo ctaches the middle rope with his feet, pushing off and unsinf the momentum to flip over his opponent with a springboard Asai Moonsault
Raijin tucks the leg and goes for the pin
1..
2...
3..
Adilene Floyd: And the winner of the match...Reo Raijin!
Raijin rolls slowly to his feet as Aurora Ray rolls out into the arms of her waiting Mass who help her away, leaving Reo Raijin alone in the ring to celebrate the win.

Reo Raijin | Segment 2
The scene cuts to the backstage where Reo Raijin stands with Nate Burleson AW’s ace backstage interviewer. Raijin is holding a photo between both hands but it’s facing away from the camera unable to be seen. The photo is being held with a bit of fierce intentions as it bends between his fingers. Nate Burleson: Raijin there were rumblings that got back to management that you were in the backstage area with eager anticipation to speak tonight.
Reo Raijin: Yeah, I have a few thoughts that I would like to get off my chest.
Nate Burleson: Do you have anything to say about what happened last week?
Reo Raijin: Nate, you know that there comes a time in every man’s life that actions speak louder than words. Last week my actions are what needed to be said. I’m sure Jonathan Cade got the message. Then again he is a Keeton and they have a difficultly comprehending situations in which they find themselves.
The American Luchador turns the photo around and holds it up for the camera. The photo is of J.C. Keeton’s father from his days in the Imperial Wrestling Federation.
Reo Raijin: It’s been over 2,750 days since “The Thrillbilly” started his time in Imperial Wrestling. The Modern Day Outlaw dropped his future moniker in an attempt to become something more. It’s been over seven years since the day Keeton graced the squared circle of the IWF. Imperial wrestling had their show Monday Night Sacrifice on October 19th of this year. You know what the IWF didn’t have?
Nate Burleson: I’m sure you’re going to tell us?
The American Luchador laughs and pats Nate on the shoulder.
Reo Raijin: Nate, you’re a smart man. Imperial Wrestling doesn’t have Jake Keeton. He didn’t last. He didn’t make it. He’s an alumni not a Hall of Famer. A forgotten memory in the annuals of wrestling lore.
Let’s move on from the small time and talk about Action Wrestling and Jonathan Cade. You see even though his dad didn’t make the cut Jonathan Cade Keeton made the big time. He made it to the AW and he’s had a modest amount of success. He’s no longer the 8 year old kid who’s daddy was fighting the courts to get possession of him. He’s not the little boy who’s daddy was sent to prison and was addicted to alcohol and drugs.
Nate appears to be getting uncomfortable by this subject line and Reo Raijin takes notice.
Reo Raijin: What’s wrong Nate you uncomfortable hearing about little Keeton’s past? You ashamed for the Keeton kid? Let’s be real for a moment Nate and understand what this kid has been through. The life he’s lived and the troubles he’s overcome. He’s a fighter. He’s a warrior. He proved that before he ever stepped foot in the AW. Just check the kid’s past. The sickness that plagued his body. He fought that. He overcame that. That's hard not to respect about the Keeton kid.
Nate Burleson: That’s all true. He did.
Reo Raijin: Nate let me explain something here. I know last week I had my bad guy moment. I’m the villain in this situation. I get that. I understand that. But, Nate, I’m not that guy. You won’t see me out there costing Jonathan Cade his match tonight. You won’t see me out there costing anyone a match. I did what I had to do on one night. I did what I did the one time.
We all know that little boy Keeton thinks he’s above the new guy. That I haven’t earned my spot in Action Wrestling. This wasn’t about getting him inside the ring today, tomorrow, or even next month. I’m playing the long game. I just needed the Keeton family attention. I think I got that after this past week. Inside that ring during his match and with our little twitter war of words that we had. I just need Jonathan Cade to understand this isn’t his fight, it’s not his battle, but he’s fighting his daddy’s war.
Raijin turns and walks away as he drops the photo he held within his hands. Nate looks down at the photo as the scene fades away back to the show.

Main Event #1 Contender Cruiserweight Championship JC Keeton vs. Sara Pettis vs. Trey Bouchet vs. Jim Mud Reo Raijin Appears
We move back to ringside and Jimmy Garcia and JJ Biggs.
Jimmy Garcia: It’s Main Event time here on CruiserClash.
JJ Biggs: Oh that reminds me…
Biggs stands up and walks over and gets a chair before bringing it back and placing it next to him then sits back down. He also connects another headset to the console between himself and Jimmy.
Jimmy Garcia: What are you doing JJ?
JJ Biggs: I was getting a chair for our guest Jimmy.
Jimmy Garcia: We have a guest?
JJ Biggs: You’ll see.
"Zombie (Lost Sky Remix)" by The Cranberries starts up and Sara Pettis makes her way out onto the stage. She excitedly moves from side to side of the ramp to slap hands with lots of fans.
Adilene Floyd: Making her way to the ring... fighting out of Ozone Park, New York… she is the Child of Fate… SARA PETTIS!
Once she reaches the ring, she looks up at the ring with a smile, then slides in and basks in the admiration from the fans.
Jimmy Garcia: Sara Pettis looks ready to become #1 Contender tonight JJ!
JJ Biggs: There’s already a #1 Contender.
Jimmy Garcia: Keeton?
JJ Biggs: Of course, he never got pinned at Clash 100.
“Higher Ground” by Red Hot Chili Peppers plays.
Adilene Floyd: Hailing from Point-Aux-Chenes, Louisiana and weighing in at 201 pounds, he is ‘The Cajun Catapult’ Trey Bouchet!
Trey appears from behind the curtain. He wastes no time with theatrics, powerwalking down the ramp. Totally in the zone, ‘The Suplexpert’ does not interact with the fans. He enters the ring by the stairs and then moves to the center, faces the hard camera, points up with both hands before bringing them down and sweeping them side to side in a horizontal fashion while simultaneously shaking his head in the negative. Finally cracking a smile, Trey moves to his corner.
Jimmy Garcia: What a match we witnessed last week between Teo Blaze and Trey Bouchet.
JJ Biggs: It was impressive.
Adilene Floyd: Next hailing from Chiefhawk County, “The Butcher on the Border” Jim Mud!
The stage lights dim dramatically as a single bass note echoes through the arena, a large wave of boos rushing over as the speakers fall silent for a moment before the full bass line to My Name is Mud kicks in. When the full instrumental kicks in, Jim Mud pushes through the curtain and takes his place center stage, staring ahead with the camera zooming in to focus on dilated dark pupils. The audience litters the stage, entrance ramp, and ringside area with trash in disapproval as Jim continues his march, stepping slowly down the aisle. He steps through the ropes and takes a deep, eyes closed inhale before returning his gaze to the hard cam as he waits for the opening bell.
Jimmy Garcia: You have to think with his affiliation with Philidor Holdings, Jim Mud is a dark horse in this match.
JJ Biggs: His name got drawn from a hat.
Adilene Floyd: And the final competitor in this Fatal Fourway #1 Contenders Match, he hails from Lexington, KY… JC KEETON!!!
"Born Legendary" begins to play and when the beat kicks in pyro explodes from the rampway as JC Keeton steps through the curtain dressed in street clothes to a round of boos from the fans. JC makes his way to ringside where he joins JJ and Jimmy, placing the headset on.
JJ Biggs: THE MAN IS HERE! Welcome to commentary JC!
JC Keeton: Thanks for having me JJ.
Jimmy Garcia: You’re supposed to be in this match Keeton.
JC Keeton: Nah, I’m good. I’m already the #1 Contender, this is a farce.
The referee looks down at JC and then at his wrist signaling that he needs to start the match. JC stands up and picks up a microphone.
JC Keeton: You can go ahead and ring the bell I’m not getting in the ring. I told Donald that I refuse to fight for a shot I’ve already earned.
JC sits back down and the ref shrugs calling for the bell and Trey shoots out of the corner like a bullet tossing Jim over his head with a Belly to Belly Suplex before turning to Sara who has no time to react and hits an Exploder on her.
Jimmy Garcia: Trey Bouchet picking up where he left off in that amazing match last week!
JC Keeton: He left a loser, he has no right to be in this match.
JJ Biggs: He’s right Jimmy.
Jimmy Garcia: You just said the match was impressive before he came out here.
JJ Biggs: Shush, he’s lying JC.
Sara bounces back to her feet and goes for a Flying Head Scissors but Trey counters it into a Wheelbarrow Suplex but then Bouchet gets turned inside out by a Spinning Lariat from Jim Mud.
Jimmy Garcia: This is a fast paced matchup but we didn’t expect anything less from these… three.
Mud stomps away at Trey not noticing Sara has made it to her feet and she spins him around and dropping him headfirst into the mat with Ice Pick Piledriver.
Jimmy Garcia: Sara Pettis looking to end this!
Pettis goes for the cover and Keeton leaps to his feet jerking the headset off as the referee drops down to count.
1…
2…
Keeton runs towards the ring but Mud kicks out.
Jimmy Garcia: That was close!
JC puts the headset back on and sits back down letting out a sigh.
Jimmy Garcia: I thought you had no interest in this match?
JC ignores the question.
JJ Biggs: Let’s just call the match Jimmy.
Bouchet is back up and grabs Sara around the waist while she’s still on the mat hitting a Deadlift German Suplex.
JJ Biggs: I believe that’s one you do as well right JC?
JC Keeton: I do it better.
JJ Biggs: Well of course you do.
Trey then turns his attention to Mud but Jim jabs his thumb into the eye socket of the Suplexpert at an angle the ref didn’t see it.
Jimmy Garcia: Oh come on his thumb was knuckle deep in Bouchet’s eye.
Mud then rolls to his feet and begins swinging wild punches and elbows backing Bouchet into the corner, he begins driving his shoulder into Trey’s midsection but Bouchet grabs him around the waist and Gut Wrench Suplexes him over the turnbuckles and completely out of the ring.
Jimmy Garcia: My God what a suplex, Jim Mud may be out of this match completely after that.
JC Keeton: He shouldn’t have been in it to begin with.
JJ Biggs: Nope.
Just then the crowd begins to buzz as Reo Raijin walks out from behind the curtain and stands on the stage.
JJ Biggs: Oh come on, whats he doing here?!
JC Keeton: Nooo idea..
Trey stalks Pettis still blinking profusely from the thumb to the eye by Mud and he blinks one too many times allowing the speedy Pettis to get behind him and roll him up.
1…
Kickout by Bouchet.
Sara makes it to her feet first hitting a Flip Over Neck Breaker to a seated Trey Bouchet, she immediately pops back to her feet facing away from her prone opponent and hits a standing Moonsault. She covers.
1…
2…
Keeton looks concerned but Mud slides in to break up the pin.
Mud then starts just stomping both of them but they fight back now all three competitors are up and trading fists, elbows and kicks. This time it’s Pettis who hits a Hurricanerana that sends Mud back to the floor.
Jimmy Garcia: Jim Mud has spent more time out of the ring than anyone, well except you…
Sara flips out of a Tiger Suplex attempt by Trey and she Dropkicks him into the turnbuckles and he hits hard chest first staggering backwards into a Poisoned Rana.
JC Keeton: That’s another one of mine.
JJ Biggs: Looks better when you do it.
Bouchet looks completely out on the mat as Sara Pettis climbs to the top rope looking for her Moonstomp.
She jumps off and HITS THE MOONSTOMP!!
She turns Bouchet over and Mud slides in and grabs Pettis and throws her over the top rope!!
Mud turns around and KEETON IS IN THE RING AND CLOTHESLINES MUD THROUGH THE ROPES TO THE OUTSIDE!!
KEETON TURNS AROND AND PINS TREY!!
ONE!!
TWO!!
THREE!!
JJ Biggs: YES YES YES!!
Jimmy Garcia: KEETON JUST STOLE IT!! KEETON IS #1 CONTENDER!!
JJ Biggs: YES!! DAMN RIGHT!! YES YES!!
We see Reo Raijin on the stage slowly clapping his hands as Keeton stands up and the raises his arm to victory.
Jimmy Garcia: Keeton is the #1 contender and on Thanksgiving he has a date with Kaz Mazy for the Cruiserweight Championship!
JJ Biggs: And Donald Deruty better not throw anyone else into the mix!
Keeton pumps his fist as he exits the ring..
Jimmy Garcia: Turmoil is shaping up on the Cruiserweight Division side of things! Next week we heard of rumors of a Tag Team Warfare of some sort!
JJ Biggs: Whats that about? We'll find out I guess!
Jimmy Garcia: We'll see you next week on CruiserClash!
We fade out as Keeton is at the bottom of the ramp staring up at the top of the stage where Reo Raijin is still slowly clapping.
