Video: Last Week’s Show Recap

We have a series of video packages for the matches at Halloween Havoc.

In-Ring: The Culling, Fatal Influence

The Culling line up appears in the aisle and they are led by Tatum Paxley, followed by Izzi Dame, Shawn Spears, and Niko Vance.

Izzi hugs Tatum before Tatum speaks.

Tatum says she freakin’ did it.  Tatum jumps in the ring.  She says she outlasted 19 other women and she finally gets her one on one shot at the Women’s championship.  It has been four years.  Four years that you have seen her at her lowest.  You have seen her lose her friends.  You have seen her all alone.  There is one friendship that is consistent and has had her back.  Tatum says you guys stood by her side and she is on her way to her first PLE.  It is so fitting it is the scariest night of the year, Halloween Havoc.  Everything is going right.  She has the Culling, she has her best friend, Izzi.  Izzi, you cared for her when the other women used her.  You promised to be by her side.  Tatum promises that she will bring gold to the group because you have her back.  

Fatal Influence’s music plays and they make their way to the ring.

Jacy asks Izzi if she is going to tell Tatum or will it be her?  Jacy says she will be the bad guy.  You don’t have a chance in hell on Saturday.  Jacy says it is spooky season.  You have the support of your best friend and the WWE Universe.  Jacy says everyone is thinking the same thing.  You have no chance of winning.  Jacy says she might have been the most beatable champion, but she has beaten it into everyone’s brains that when it matters most, you can’t beat her.

She asks Tatum what makes her any different?  Is it the support of these losers?  You are not special.  You are barely average.  To be completely honest, you should have let Izzi win the battle royal because she would stand a shot as number one contender.

Tatum says she knows what Jacy is trying to do.  You are trying to get between her and Izzi.  You should know better than anyone where Tatum is.  You came in with one of the most dominant factions and you won gold.  You were expected to do it again.  You say this creepy little weirdo should run away, but she got better.  She didn’t have the spotlight.  She did it in an empry ring, day after day.  Saturday is her time to become champion.

Fallon says this is only going to make it that much sweeter when you lose.  She hopes Izzi and the Culling don’t leave you when you disappoint them?

Izzi says you kicked out your friend three weeks ago.  They are a family and they will always accept Tatum for who she is.

Jacy says she used to have so much respect for Izzi and thought so highly of her.  A strong, independent woman.  Jacy says she thinks Izzi is the leader of the group, but now you are a babysitter instead of a leader. 

Izzi says she is in control of her group.

Tatum says she knows she has support from her friends.  Can you say the same Jacy?  She says her and Izzi are willing to show it tonight.

Fallon says Lainey is ready to show she is ready.

Fallon and Lainey go after Izzi and Tatum but Tatum and Izzi fight them off.  Izzi and Tatum work over Jacy and Fallon and Lainey make the save.

Trick says to look at everything he created.  You have been grinding on the indies for decades.  Look at him.  Does he look like he belongs on the indies?  Hell no.  He says he does not see a champion in Ricky.  You are a cosplayer trying to be Trick’s stunt double.  No one can replace him.  You can be his stand in.  Since you are standing in his way, he is going to whoop your ass to win the title.

Ricky says you cannot talk about grinding on the indies because you would have folded like the shirt you are wearing.  He can never be a Trick Williams replacement.  He is the original.  He says he is smoother than Trick and more stylish.  Your ass is locked out on Saturday because he is Ricky Saints.

They both get up and security holds them back and they do their excellent job because Trick punche Ricky.  Ricky gets Trick up and hits an F5 through the table.
