📆 5th January 2026

The Pre show

Welcome to the pre-show for DW Clash 85! We are live from the state-of-the-art Stratford Arena in London, England.

[The scene opens with a panoramic shot of the Stratford Arena’s grand facade, where massive LED screens flicker with the images of Cedric Thornfield and Maxwell Blackwell. The camera cuts inside to a buzzing concourse. Fans in “Lionheart” shirts and Viking face paint stream past the camera. William Smith stands with a microphone, looking energized.]

William Smith: “Welcome, Dynasty fans, to the sold-out Stratford Arena! I’m William Smith, and we are just moments away from Clash 85! Tonight, the atmosphere is electric as we prepare for a main event that has the entire wrestling world talking”.

Interview: The Champion’s Stoic Resolve

[‘The Black Raven’ Cedric Thornfield walks into the frame. He is draped in a dark cloak, looking distant and focused.]

William Smith: “Cedric, tonight you face ‘the Mirage’ Maxwell Blackwell in a non-title main event. Blackwell has been calling this a ‘mind game.’ How do you prepare for a man who fights with deception?”.

Cedric Thornfield: “[Whispering] Blackwell paints in shadows… but tonight, I bring the light of the truth. He thinks he is a master of manipulation, but you cannot manipulate a ghost”.

[Thornfield exits as silently as he arrived.]

The Mid-Card Preview

William Smith: “A haunting message from our Heavyweight Champion. But before we get to that, we have a stacked card. Stijn De Raaf takes on the high-flying Leo Lewis in a clash of styles. We’ll also see the tag team division heat up as British Hospitality faces The Sovereign“.

[Suddenly, Kyle McRae storms into the interview area, looking bitter and resentful.]

Kyle McRae: “Smith, stop talking about ‘hospitality.’ Talk about the fact that I have to get in the ring with Oliver Harrington—the man they’re calling the 2025 European Wrestling League winner. He’s the ‘Pretty Boy’? I’m the ‘Glasgow Grim Reaper’. Tonight, that UK Title isn’t on the line, but Harrington’s dignity certainly is”.

A Rivalry Renewed

William Smith: “McRae is clearly looking to make a statement. And speaking of statements, we have a massive singles match between Oliver Reed and Jonathan Sullivan. Sullivan, ‘The Lionheart,’ is a hometown hero here in London, but Reed’s ‘Mancunian Mauler’ style is enough to put anyone’s lights out”.

[The camera pans to show the arena doors opening to the main bowl, where the high-definition screens and sophisticated lighting are already bathing the ring in a golden glow.]

Final Thoughts

William Smith: “The fans are in their seats, the officials are ready, and Commissioner Matt Anarchy has promised a night we won’t forget. Whether it’s the raw power of the heavyweights or the technical brilliance of the UK division, DW Clash 85 starts… RIGHT NOW!”.

[The camera follows the last group of fans into the arena as the theme for Clash begins to blare over the sound system.]

DW Clash 85: The Post-Show

[The camera pans the Stratford Arena, showing a mix of stunned and celebrating fans in the state-of-the-art seats. William Smith stands at the announcer’s table, looking breathless as the credits begin to roll.]

William Smith: “What a night! We are live at the conclusion of DW Clash 85, and the landscape of Dynasty Wrestling has been shifted on its axis. I’m William Smith, joined briefly by our lead commentator Steve Pringle. Steve, the main event… I don’t think anyone expected that.” 

Steve Pringle: “Absolute chaos, William. Maxwell Blackwell proved why they call him the ‘Master of Manipulation’. He just defeated the Heavyweight Champion, Cedric Thornfield, in our non-title main event. It wasn’t a five-star classic, but Blackwell doesn’t care about ratings; he cares about results”

Interview: The Deceptive Victor

[Maxwell Blackwell walks toward the set, smoothing out his black and gold velvet ring jacket with a smug grin.]

William Smith: “Maxwell, a win over the Heavyweight Champion. Some are calling it a fluke, others a masterclass in mind games. What say you?” 

Maxwell Blackwell: “A fluke? William, look at this face. This is the face of the man who just solved ‘London’s Last Whisper’. Cedric Thornfield is a poet, but tonight, I wrote the final chapter. I am the ‘Mirage,’ and the only thing real in this arena is that I just pinned your champion”.

Closing Statements

William Smith: “A massive night for the ‘Caledonian Crushers’ member Kyle McRae and a career-defining win for Maxwell Blackwell. We are out of time here in Stratford, but the fallout of Clash 85 is only just beginning! For Steve Pringle and Eddie Bates, I’m William Smith. Goodnight, London!”

[The camera fades as Maxwell Blackwell mocks the fans at ringside, waving a mock salute while the Stratford Arena’s LED screens flash his name.]
