DW Clash 71
📺 Live on the Sanctioned Violence Network
📍 The Stratford Arena, London, England
📆 7th July 2025
We fade in with a sweeping aerial shot of London, the skyline glowing under the early July dusk. The camera cuts down to the Stratford Arena, where the Dynasty Wrestling banners hang proudly from the rafters. A sold-out crowd roars inside, Union Jacks waving and fans pressed up against the barricades, signs high above their heads.
Cue intense orchestral-rock fusion theme music as a highlight package rolls across the screen:
- Matt Anarchy standing in the ring weeks ago, announcing the Road to Titans tournament.
- Rhys Morgan, wiping blood from his brow, glaring into the hard cam.
- Cedric Thornfield, still and cold, staring down opponents like death in a black coat.
- Eero Koshkinen, laying waste with thunderous boots and icelike precision.
- And, finally, Angelo Anderson—the DW Heavyweight Champion, arms raised, the gold glinting beneath the lights, surrounded by echoes of boos.
Voiceover:
“The path to glory is paved with broken bodies. Five began the march… only one will stand atop the mountain at Titans 2025.”
We cut live to the thunderous Stratford Arena, where pyrotechnics explode across the stage in streaks of red and silver. The camera flies across the crowd, signs flashing:
🪧 “RHYS MORGAN 4 CHAMP”
🪧 “BLACK RAVEN = DESTINY”
🪧 “SULLIVAN IS 5★ GOLD”
🪧 “ANGELO FEARS EERO”
[Commentary Desk – Ringside]
🎙️ Steve Pringle (play-by-play):
“Welcome to another action-packed night of Dynasty Wrestling! Clash 71 is live on the Sanctioned Violence Network, and tonight we take one giant step closer to Titans 2025, coming this September!”
🎙️ Eddie Bates (colour commentator):
“That’s right, Steve. The Road to Titans tournament is heating up, and tonight? We’ve got a massive semi-final—Cedric Thornfield vs. Eero Koshkinen—two men who might just be Angelo Anderson’s worst nightmare.”
🎙️ Steve Pringle:
“Speaking of the champ, Angelo’s in action tonight too—he faces Stijn De Raaf, the Amsterdam Avenger, in a non-title main event that could shake the rankings wide open.”
🎙️ Eddie Bates:
“And don’t forget our tag match featuring Rhys Morgan and Jonathan Sullivan, teaming up against the dangerous duo of Maxwell Blackwell and Riley Smith. Morgan and Sullivan both have gold on their minds, but tonight they’ll need to watch each other’s backs.”
🎙️ Steve Pringle:
“Also in action: Geoffrey Hobbs takes on Liam O’Donovan, and the ever-flashy Essex Pretty Boy, Oliver Harrington, meets Union Jack in a grudge match with a lot of pride on the line.”
🎙️ Eddie Bates:
“Clash 71 is stacked, the stakes are high, and the road to Titans is only getting rougher. Buckle in.”
The camera cuts to the ring as the first match of the night gets ready to begin…
[Let the chaos begin.]
Single Match
‘Gentlemen’ Geoffrey Hobbs vs. Liam O’Donovan
Backstage
We cut to a backstage area near the Dynasty Wrestling medical office, where Ben Noble and Kandi Sparks — collectively known as The Sovereign — are seated on a bench, bruised, bandaged, and visibly seething.
Kandi’s shoulder is wrapped in medical tape, and Ben has a deep cut on his forehead with butterfly stitches just above his brow. A trainer finishes checking Kandi’s mobility and nods before stepping out of frame.
DW interviewer William Smith stands beside them, microphone in hand, the atmosphere tense.
📺 William Smith:
“I’m here with The Sovereign, who were brutally attacked by the Platinum Coalition—Kyle McRae, Angus Blackhart, and Emily Shaw—last week on Clash 70. Ben, Kandi… how are you both holding up?”
Ben Noble leans forward, face tight with anger but voice calm and steady.
🎤 Ben Noble:
“Physically? We’ve been through worse. But mentally? We’re fuming. That wasn’t a fight last week… it was an ambush. A coward’s move from three people who can’t handle being second-best.”
Kandi Sparks pulls off her ice pack and glares into the camera.
🎤 Kandi Sparks:
“You think a few chairs and a cheap attack is enough to end us? Please. We’ve been knocked down before — but every single time, we get back up harder.”
🎤 Ben Noble:
“McRae and Blackhart—you two call yourselves crushers? All I see are thugs hiding behind Emily Shaw’s smirk. But this feud… it’s not over. Not by a long shot.”
🎤 Kandi Sparks:
“You want a war, Emily? You’ve got one. And the next time we cross paths… it won’t end in a stretcher. It’ll end in a statement.”
Ben stands up slowly, offering Kandi a hand. She gets to her feet beside him, both of them battle-worn but defiant.
🎤 Ben Noble:
“The Sovereign doesn’t fall. We rise.”
They walk off down the hallway together, determination in every step as the camera lingers on their taped-up backs disappearing into the corridor.
🎙️ Steve Pringle (on commentary):
“You heard it loud and clear—The Sovereign are banged up but far from broken. The Platinum Coalition better be ready. This war is just getting started.”
🎙️ Eddie Bates:
“When noble blood boils, vengeance follows—and something tells me retribution’s coming sooner rather than later.”
Fade out.
Tag Team Match
Rhys Morgan & Jonathan Sullivan vs. Maxwell Blackwell & Riley Smith
Backstage
We cut to the backstage interview zone where James Shepherd, the ever-smug, loudmouth manager of the DW UK Tag Team Champions, stands flanked by his clients — the grizzled, arrogant Aussie bruisers Jack O’Connor and Nate McKenzie, collectively known as the Dogs of War. They wear their DW UK Tag Team Titles across their shoulders, oozing confidence and contempt.
🎤 James Shepherd (to camera):
“You’re looking at the best tag team this company has ever produced. British Hospitality? The Sovereign? Union Jack and whoever’s standing next to him this week? They’ve all had their shot… and they all failed. The tag division is done. Cleared. Swept.”
The crowd watching in the arena boos loudly.
Before Shepherd can continue, the camera swings to the side as British Hospitality — Harry Black and Alexander Hate— storm into frame. The British fan-favourites are intense but composed. Harry Black steps forward, eyes locked on the champs.
🎤 Harry Black:
“You two love to talk, yeah? But every time we’ve faced off, it’s gone the same way — barely escaping with those belts still in your hands. So here it is, plain and simple: we want another shot. At Titans.”
The crowd in the arena erupts into cheers.
🎤 Alexander Hate:
“You boys think you’ve cleaned out the division? Not until you’ve beaten us properly. One more time — no excuses, no managers interfering. You and us, for the gold.”
O’Connor and McKenzie laugh loudly, genuinely amused. Shepherd dramatically wipes a tear of fake laughter from his eye.
🎤 Jack O’Connor:
“You want another shot? Mate, the only thing you’ll be getting at Titans is another beating and a long flight back to irrelevance.”
🎤 Nate McKenzie:
“We don’t do charity. You’ve had your chance. It’s over. Go sell some merch and let the real tag teams handle business.”
🎤 James Shepherd:
“Oh, this is adorable. Britain’s best pub act wants to main event with the big boys again. But I hate to break it to you — at Titans, the only thing you’ll be watching… is us, winning. Again.”
Black steps up to O’Connor, nose to nose now.
🎤 Harry Black:
“Then prove it. Unless you’re afraid.”
A flicker of anger crosses O’Connor’s face. Shepherd quickly steps between them, holding both teams back.
🎤 James Shepherd:
“You want a match? Fine. You want Titans? Be careful what you wish for… because next time, it won’t just be a loss — it’ll be your last shot.”
British Hospitality don’t flinch, staring down the champions as tension crackles in the air.
🎙️ Steve Pringle (on commentary):
“Challenge issued. Challenge accepted? It looks like we might have our Tag Title match for Titans 2025 — and it’s going to be a war!”
🎙️ Eddie Bates:
“These two teams hate each other — and come September 15th, this rivalry could explode into all-out carnage.”
The camera fades as both teams reluctantly back away, the match now looming on the horizon.
Single Match
Oliver Harrington vs. Union Jack
Backstage
The camera cuts to the dim, focused quiet of a backstage hallway in the Stratford Arena. No chaos. No shouting. Just the calm before the storm.
Standing against a concrete wall, cloaked in black and shadow, is Cedric Thornfield, “The Black Raven.” Stoic. Focused. Eyes down. Breathing slow.
Footsteps echo. Heavy, deliberate. Enter Eero Koshkinen, the towering Finnish frost giant. He stops a few feet from Cedric, arms crossed, silent for a moment. The tension isn’t hostile—it’s heavy with respect.
Eero Koshkinen:
“You and I… we’re not like the others in this tournament.”
Cedric Thornfield (not looking up):
“No. We’re not chasing attention. We’re chasing purpose.”
Eero nods slowly, eyes narrowing.
Eero Koshkinen:
“I know what Angelo Anderson is. I’ve stood across from him. Felt the weight. And I came this close to breaking him.”
Cedric Thornfield (finally looking up, cold and composed):
“But close isn’t enough.”
Eero Koshkinen:
“That’s why I’m saying this now… before we tear each other apart out there.”
A pause. Eero steps forward, looking down at Cedric—not in arrogance, but with quiet intensity.
Eero Koshkinen:
“If you beat me tonight… if you walk the rest of this road…
You must be the one to dethrone him.”
Cedric considers this, his eyes locked on Eero’s.
Cedric Thornfield:
“If I beat you, I won’t just dethrone him…
I’ll bury the myth of Angelo Anderson. Permanently.”
A moment passes. Eero gives a small nod — a sign of approval, of acceptance. No more words are needed. He turns and walks down the hallway toward the gorilla position, leaving Cedric alone with his thoughts.
The camera lingers on The Black Raven’s cold, unreadable expression as the roar of the crowd grows in the distance.
🎙️ Steve Pringle (on commentary):
“A chilling exchange between two of the most dangerous men in Dynasty Wrestling. This isn’t just a semi-final — this is a battle of purpose, pride, and vengeance.”
🎙️ Eddie Bates:
“Eero just passed the torch — or dared Cedric to take it. Either way… someone’s going to war with Angelo Anderson, and we find out tonight who it will be.”
Fade to black.
‘Road to Titans’ Semi-Final Match
Cedric Thornfield vs. Eero Koshkien
Backstage
We cut to the backstage interview zone of the Stratford Arena, where interviewer William Smith stands with a microphone in hand, flanked by the intense, focused figure of Stijn De Raaf — “The Amsterdam Avenger”. De Raaf wears his signature leather jacket, gear zipped up underneath, eyes sharp as steel. The crowd watching on the arena screen gives a cheer when he appears.
📺 William Smith:
“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with Stijn De Raaf, who—moments from now—steps into the ring with none other than the DW Heavyweight Champion, ‘Unbreakable’ Angelo Anderson, in tonight’s non-title main event.”
Stijn nods, arms crossed, focused but calm.
📺 William Smith:
“Stijn, this is a huge opportunity—what’s your mindset heading into a match with the man many call the most dominant champion in Dynasty Wrestling history?”
🎤 Stijn De Raaf:
“William, I don’t need gold on the line to treat this like the biggest match of my career. Angelo Anderson is a machine. He doesn’t break. He doesn’t bend. But tonight… he bleeds.”
The crowd pops at that line as De Raaf continues, voice low and serious.
🎤 Stijn De Raaf:
“Angelo walks around like he owns this place. Like everyone in the locker room is beneath him. But that’s not how we do things in Amsterdam. I came here to test myself against the very best, and tonight, I get that chance.”
He steps closer to the camera, pointing directly into the lens.
🎤 Stijn De Raaf:
“You might be the champ, Angelo… but when that bell rings, I don’t care who you are or what you’ve done. I’m not here to survive you — I’m here to beat you.”
Stijn takes a breath, then looks back to William with a quiet intensity.
🎤 Stijn De Raaf:
“Let’s find out if the Unbreakable man… can handle being outclassed.”
With that, he turns and walks off toward the curtain, leaving William Smith wide-eyed at the fire behind the Avenger’s words.
🎙️ Steve Pringle (on commentary):
“De Raaf just delivered a message loud and clear — he’s not stepping into that ring to play the underdog. He’s coming to make a statement.”
🎙️ Eddie Bates:
“He might just be the dark horse in the Heavyweight Title picture. If he shocks Angelo tonight, everything changes.”
Fade out as the crowd noise swells in anticipation for the main event.
Non Title Match
Angelo Anderson vs. Stijn De Raaf
Ringside
The bell rings. The Stratford Arena is thunderous with boos as ‘Unbreakable’ Angelo Anderson stands tall in the centre of the ring, having just defeated a valiant Stijn De Raaf in a hard-fought non-title main event. De Raaf lies at ringside, clutching his ribs, having thrown everything at the champion only to fall just short.
Angelo rips his arm away from the referee, snatches the DW Heavyweight Championship off the timekeeper’s table, and holds it high above his head. The crowd rains down jeers — but the champ just soaks it in like fuel to his fire.
🎙️ Steve Pringle (commentary):
“He did it again. Like him or not, Angelo Anderson continues to survive every test thrown his way.”
🎙️ Eddie Bates:
“And tonight, it wasn’t a title match — but it was a statement. Anderson doesn’t bend. He breaks men.”
Angelo steps to the ropes, grabs a mic from ringside, and paces slowly back into the centre of the ring as the boos grow louder. He adjusts the belt over his shoulder and smirks.
🎤 Angelo Anderson:
“You all thought tonight would be different.”
BOOOO!
🎤 Angelo Anderson:
“You thought Stijn De Raaf — some plucky, scrappy ‘Avenger’ — would be the man to finally put a dent in the Unbreakable reign. Just like you thought Eero would. Just like you thought Bjorn would. Just like you thought every single guy before them would.”
He shakes his head, laughing bitterly.
🎤 Angelo Anderson:
“Let me make it crystal clear for every man in that locker room, and every fan crying into your overpriced pints right now…”
He holds the title high again.
🎤 Angelo Anderson:
“This right here? This doesn’t move. This stays right where it is — around the waist of the most dominant champion this company has ever seen.”
The crowd chants “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but Angelo talks right over it.
🎤 Angelo Anderson:
“I don’t care if it’s Cedric Thornfield, Jonathan Sullivan, Rhys Morgan, or any other name you want to throw at me in this little ‘Road to Titans’ fantasy. Let them fight. Let them bleed. Let them break each other in half.”
He steps forward, eyes burning into the hard cam.
🎤 Angelo Anderson:
“Because when they get to Titans… they’ll find the same fate waiting for them that met everyone else — a brick wall they can’t climb. A champion they can’t break.”
He slams the mic down, and it echoes with finality as his music hits. Fireworks erupt from the stage. Angelo Anderson climbs the turnbuckles and holds the DW Heavyweight Championship aloft again, defiant and dominant.
🎙️ Steve Pringle:
“He’s sending a message to the entire roster — and it’s chilling in its confidence.”
🎙️ Eddie Bates:
“The road to Titans just got steeper. Whoever wins this tournament… they’d better be ready for war.”
As the show fades out, we see the ominous silhouette of Angelo Anderson holding the belt in the air as the Dynasty Wrestling logo flashes across the screen.
[END SHOW.]
