🎤 Tony Schiavone Interviews Drew McIntyre – “The American Nightmare, The Corporate Dream”

Tony:

“Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the man challenging Cody Rhodes for the WWA World Heavyweight Championship this Saturday at Fall Brawl — ‘The Scottish Warrior’ Drew McIntyre.”

Drew calm but seething.

Drew:

“Tony, people keep calling Cody Rhodes the heartbeat of wrestling. But when you peel back the pageantry, what you find is a politician in a gold suit. Cody doesn’t wrestle for legacy anymore; he wrestles for leverage.

I hear whispers about this new promotion — AEW — and guess who’s already got his hands in the till? Cody Rhodes, shaking hands with investors, promising the world he’ll ‘change the business’ while the rest of the boys wonder if they’ll still have jobs. He’s stealing money, building his next kingdom before he’s even finished defending the crown he’s got.”

Tony:

“You’re saying Cody’s using his WWA title reign to promote himself”

Drew:

“Exactly. He’s not defending that belt for honor; he’s advertising himself. Every speech, every dramatic pause, every tear on cue — it’s marketing. The man doesn’t bleed passion anymore, he bleeds press releases.

Saturday night, I’m taking that WWA title not just to win gold, but to save this sport from turning into a board meeting. I don’t answer to executives. I answer to these fist.”

Tony:

“Drew, that’s a strong accusation — Cody’s got a lot of supporters who see him as a bridge-builder.”

Drew (snarling):

“Bridge-builder? Bridges to where? To a company that doesn’t exist yet but already has his logo printed on the door? He’s manipulating the fans, Tony. He wants to be the hero in every story. At Fall Brawl, I’m writing a different ending — the hero falls, and the warrior rises.”

Tony signs off:

“Strong words from Drew McIntyre, who clearly plans to expose what he calls ‘The Corporate Dream’ this Saturday at Fall Brawl.”

Cole (voice-over as they cut back to ringside):

“McIntyre’s venom for Cody Rhodes runs deep — this is more than a title match, it’s a battle over what wrestling should be.”

🎤 Jimmy Uso Interview (with Cathy Kelley)

Crowd gives a warm “UCE-O!” chant.

Jimmy:

“You know, Charlotte, I been fighting my own blood my whole life. Jey’s doing his thing somewhere else, and Roman… man, the Tribal Chief vanished into smoke.

But through all that, one man — one guy who didn’t have to — had my back. Chad Gable.

This Saturday at Fall Brawl, me and Chad finish it with Solo and Hikuleo — final chapter. After that, this Uso starts a brand-new novel. Uce out.”

Huge pop; Gable appears, shakes his hand.

🎤 In-Ring – Bo Wyatt Speaks

Bo walks out in street clothes, no mask, quiet spotlight.

Bo:

“I spent years pretending to be something I’m not. The Wyatt Family gave me brothers — but it also gave me shadows. I’m not living for ghosts anymore; I’m living for—”

🎶 “Samoan Werewolf” hits — Jacob Fatu storms the ring!
He levels Bo with a Samoan Spike and a Pop-Up Samoan Drop.

Cole: “Fatu just flattened Bo Wyatt again! There’s no reasoning with the American Champion!”
Graves: “Bo better find that darkness again or he’s finished Saturday.”

🎤 Backstage – The Spotlight Confronts The Final Testament

Maxxine Dupri, flanked by Lexus King, Karl Anderson, & Luke Gallows.

Maxxine:

“Karrion Kross and that witch Scarlett call themselves destiny. Honey, I’m destiny in heels. Saturday night, The Spotlight blinds The Final Testament — permanently.”

Cut to a smoky vignette response.

Karrion Kross:

“Maxxine… light fades. Faith dies. And at Fall Brawl, your ‘Spotlight’ is snuffed out.”

Scarlett whispers: “Tick-tock.”

🥊 Match Chad Gable vs Pete Dunne

Gable’s been Jimmy Uso’s ally; Dunne hasn’t wrestled since his brutal feud with Mr. Wrestling Ryan Hamrick. This is a technical clinic !!

Play-by-Play Highlights:
• Intense grappling—reversal counters, European uppercuts vs amateur mat work.
• Commentary reminds viewers Gable’s “kept Jimmy Uso sharp” while Dunne “still claims to have ended Hamrick’s prime.”
• Finish: Gable escapes a finger snap attempt, dead-lifts Dunne into Chaos Theory for the clean win (11 min).

Winner: Chad Gable (11 min)

Post-match: Dunne cheap-shots Gable and yells, “Tell Hamrick I’m not done!”

🎤 In-Ring – Imperium

Ludwig Kaiser and Kai Hansen enter to the Imperium march.

Kaiser:

“Mark Henry — once a man of strength — reduced to a punchline called Sexual Chocolate. That’s your legacy, old man.”

Hansen:

“The Hall of Pain? Nein… Hall of Shame!”

Cole: “That’s crossing the line!”

The crowd erupts as Mark Henry and Ryan Hamrick charge down! Brawl breaks out — Imperium retreats after a stiff forearm from Hamrick.

Graves: “Saturday, order meets fury — Imperium vs Hall of Pain!”

_____________________________________________________________________________________

🎤 Backstage – Dominik Mysterio & Judgment Day

Dom, smug and smirking.

Dom:

“Donald Spinks thinks he’s tough ‘cause his daddy’s Michael Spinks and his dead uncle was a boxer. News flash — this isn’t the Olympics, champ; this is my world.”

JD laughs, Priest adds:

“At Fall Brawl, the only knockout will be when Dom’s hand gets raised.”

_____________________________________________________________________________________

🎤 In-Ring – Liv Morgan

Big ovation. Liv in denim jacket, holding a mic with shaky emotion.

Liv:

“Lyra Valkyrie… I respect you. You’ve been everything a champion should be — focused, proud, fearless. But Saturday night, I’m not coming for respect; I’m coming for redemption. I’ve been
broken, doubted, tossed aside — and somehow, I’m still here. If I lose, I’ll shake your hand. But if I win, I promise to carry that title the same way you did — with heart.”

Lyra walks out, nods, extends a handshake; crowd roars “This is wrestling!”

Match– Women’s Division Showcase Tag

Bianca Belair & Tiffany Stratton vs Alba Frye & Isla Dawn

Play-by-Play Highlights:
• Bianca and Tiffany start with cocky “who’s the star?” tension but work surprisingly well together.
• Alba & Isla use slick tandem witchy offense—snap suplex + enzuigiri combo.
• Stratton lands the Prettiest Moonsault Ever, tags Bianca for KOD; double pin for style points (13 min).

Winners: Bianca Belair & Tiffany Stratton (13 min)

Post-match: Bianca and Tiffany have a short stare-down—mutual respect but obvious they got heat !

🎤 Backstage – Cody Rhodes Responds to Drew McIntyre

Classic dusty-style pre-tape.

Cody:

“Drew called me a liar, said I sabotage other promotions and men like Hangman Page. Drew, you’re projecting.

I want guys like Hangman could shine. I wany to build something so the next generation don't have to starve like my dad’s did.

You want to talk about selfish? Saturday I’m gonna show you what unselfish looks like — I’m gonna beat you clean and prove the ‘American Nightmare’ still stands for something.”

🔥 In-Ring Segment – The Final Showdown: Rollins • Gunther • CM Punk • Chris Champion

Setting:
A black carpet covers the ring. PWA title belt displayed on a podium. Two steel chairs. Security ringside.
Theme Order:
First Seth Rollins, then Gunther, then CM Punk, and finally Chris Champion interrupts.

🎶 “Visionary” hits — Seth Rollins enters

Crowd sings the “Whoa-oh-oh” chant for a full minute before he speaks.

Rollins (smiling, pacing):

“Charlotte… sing it loud, because after Saturday, you might be singing for the new ref, not the champ!

Let’s face it — the world’s watching a dream match: Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins, CM Punk, and Gunther. Only difference is I’m the only one in this ring who’s actually alive right now.

Punk’s living off nostalgia, Gunther’s living off fear, and I’m living in the present — as your reigning, defending, undeniable, untouchable P-W-A Heavyweight Champion!”

Crowd pops.

_______________________

— Gunther enters with no theme song.

Gunther doesn’t sit; he stands behind his chair, hands clasped behind his back.

Gunther (measured, contemptuous):

“Enough noise. This sport is not about songs, jokes, or self-promotion. It is about competition — pure and uncompromised.

Rollins, you cheapen this championship every time you dance. Punk, you disgrace it every time you talk. I will restore discipline to this company at Fall Brawl.”

He taps the belt podium.

“When I hold this, it will mean something again.”

Rollins (laughing):

“Oh, here he goes — the wrestling monk giving sermons! Bro, this isn’t 1940 Vienna, this is 2025 Charlotte! You don’t restore anything; you just bore everybody to death.”

_______________________
🎶 “Cult of Personality” erupts — CM Punk enters

He walks straight past both chairs, stands between them, mic in hand.
Crowd chanting “C-M Punk!”

Punk:

“You two sound like the same broken record. Seth — you brag like you invented wrestling. Gunther — you talk like you own it.

I bled for this business when it didn’t want me. I carried a company on my back while you two were figuring out your gimmicks.

I didn’t ask to wear stripes Saturday night; Chris Champion forced it. But here’s the thing — you can’t control me, Chris. You never could.”

Crowd gets loud.

_______________________

🎤 Chris Champion walks out to the ramp

Arms folded, smug grin, mic in hand.

Champion:

“Oh, I can’t control you? Punk, I’ve been controlling you since the day you walked back in that door. You call yourself ‘Best in the World’ — I call you the most fragile ego in wrestling.

You wanted one last shot at glory, and instead, I gave you the one thing you hate most — responsibility.”

Punk:

“You gave me a job, not power. And Saturday, I’m going to make you regret it. You want me to referee? Fine. But when I call it, I call it my way. You try to screw me again, I’ll knock your teeth down your
throat and use the whistle as a mouthpiece!”

Champion:

“If you so much as lay a finger on a competitor before the bell, you’re fired and black-listed from every PWA affiliate in the world. Understand, Referee Punk?”

Crowd chants “You suck Champion!”

_______________________

Rollins and Gunther start jawing over the belt

Rollins:

“Look at this circus, Punk — you’ve already turned it into another pity party. Saturday’s not about you; it’s about me proving I’m the greatest champion alive.”

Gunther:

“No, it is about the eradication of everything you represent.”

Punk:

“It’s about who’s man enough to survive when the script runs out.”

He drops the mic — tension peaks.

_______________________

Physical Chaos
• Rollins shoves Gunther.
• Gunther chops him so hard the mic flies.
• Punk instinctively steps between them — Champion screams “Security!”
• Rollins superkicks Gunther — Punk pushes Rollins back — they trade words.
• Gunther charges, wipes both out with a double lariat.
• Champion sneaks into the ring, smirking over them.

Cole: “Champion’s loving every second of this power trip!”

Gunther grabs the belt, holds it high — Punk spins him around and snatches it away!

Crowd explodes.

Punk (yelling):

“You want a referee? You’re looking at one — but Saturday, no one walks out the same!”

He drops the belt on the mat between them.

Rollins, from the corner:

“You can wear the stripes, Punk… just remember who’s writing the ending.”

Gunther, stoic:

“Order will be restored — even if I must break you both.”

Pull-Apart & Commentary Wrap

Security floods the ring again. Rollins laughing, Punk glaring, Gunther stone-faced. Champion backs up the ramp smirking.

Cole:

“Emotions out of control! Champion’s manipulation has turned the PWA Title scene into a powder keg!”

Graves:

“Three egos, one belt, one vindictive promoter — and a referee who might just count for himself!”

Fade to the Fall Brawl graphic.

🩸 Closing Visual

Rollins, Punk, and Gunther are still being separated backstage; Champion yells, “You wanted chaos, Myers — enjoy it!”

Camera pans to Brandon Myers watching the monitors, rubbing his temples.

Myers: “Saturday can’t get here soon enough…”

Cole (final call):

“Charlotte has exploded, and Fall Brawl is just days away! Cody vs Drew, Rollins vs Gunther with Punk refereeing, and every grudge ready to ignite! We’ll see you Saturday for Fall Brawl 30!
