{A black screen. After some time, We get the usual intro, then we get more LAW event highlights, and then Evie Taylor, The A-Listers and Nyako holding up their respective titles. We cut from that to a live wide shot of the audience as they cheer wildly as "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera playings We go to Troy and Duke, already sitting down.}
Troy Franklin: Hello everyone and welcome to LAW #21, Live from Erie, PA! I'm Troy Franklin along with Duke King, and Duke, tonight we start the road to crown to the new LAW Champion!
Duke King: Correct Troy. 8 of the top women's wrestlers are now vying to fill the shoes of Evie Taylor, who unfortunately had to relinquish the title due to injury. And tonight the road to crowning a new champion begins with these 4 huge matches.
Troy Franklin: In the main event, Oni will take on Kate Steele, and that's going to be a barn-burner. Plus, Gabby Camacho will take on Natasha Rose it could be the start of the rise of Natasha Rose, Miyoko Oshiro will take on the fast rising Mackenzie Roberts, and Alex Yin will take on veteran Amber Richards!
Duke King: All that, plus a triple threat match to start the whole night! It's going to be fun!
Troy Franklin: Let's go the ring and get this important night started!
{The lights flash in time with the opening beats of Block Shot Hustlaz, dimming as the first line hits the speakers. The lights brighten on sync with the third exclamation of the song and as the lights come up so does Serizawa appear on the ramp, her back towards the ring. The lights illuminate kanji characters on the back of her leather jacket; the characters say 'thug'. Serizawa turns around, a scowl permanently on her lips. She begins walking, rolling her neck as she approaches the ring. Serizawa climbs to the apron and faces the crowd, acknowledging their boos by pulling her right eyelid down and sticking her tongue out at them. Entering the ring, she scoffs at her opponent - or at the continued negative reaction from the crowd. Before the match begins she retreats to a corner and crouches down, rolling her neck a final time.}
Troy Franklin: Serizawa is always a threat, no matter what match she's in.
{In the air conditioned Hell named 'The L.A.W. Arena', eerie indie pop plays through a rented speaker system. The music cues a knowing audience to rise and cheer as Sam Lancaster emerges from the curtains wearing a winter coat in California, unsettled eyes fixed on the ring. She gives the audience a meek wave of a taped hand, folds her arms and marches to the ring like flustered Daffy Duck.}
Beth Harris: And from York, England, weighing in at 128 pounds... SAMMMM LANCASTER!
{She hikes up the ring steps, rubbing her hands together to get her sludge circulation going and grinding her running shoes on the apron as mere courtesy. When she's satisfied, she takes her place in her corner and slips out her coat. The black, lycra tights and matching crop top underneath make for much more appropriate wrestling attire.}
Troy Franklin: Sam had a bit of bad luck last week, and she's looking to bounce back this week.
Duke King: That's true, but in a triple threat match, anything can happen!
{“Sinner” by Drowning Pool plays and Keira Fisher makes her way to the ring, as the fans cheer. Keira enters the ring and poses for the fans.}
Troy Franklin: Keira also came up short last week, and she took is looking to bounce back.
{Keira dives at Serizawa with a Double Leg Takedown. She starts throwing wild right hand after right hand to the face of Serizawa. Serizawa manages to turn it over, and then start laying in some wicked hard right hands of her own. Sam just leans back in a corner and enjoys the fight. Serizawa and Keira make their way over to a corner, where the ref has to break them up. Both get up to their feet and stare one another down. Keira throws a right, which Serizawa blocks and counters with a thumb to the eye. She grabs the left arm for the Irish Whip, but Keira holds on and counters, sending Serizawa into the ropes. Keira ducks down for the Back Body Drop. Serizawa stops short, kicks Keira, sending her up to a vertical base. Wild Lariat thrown, but Keira ducks it. Keira reaches up to catch the moving Serizawa as She passes her, grabs the head, and brings her down with a Snapping Neckbreaker. Serizawa gets up, holding the back of her head in pain. Keira charges towards Serizawa, leaning against the ropes, and clotheslines her right over to the floor. The fans pop for the big move. Keira turns around to see what Sam is up to, and she gets a Dropkick straight to the chin from Samantha. Keira falls back into a corner. Sam runs and hits a Stinger Splash, grabs the staggering Keira, and throws her to the opposite corner. She charges in again, this time for a Spear, but Keira boosts herself up, wraps her legs around the midsection, and falls forward with a Sunset Flip variation. 1……2.. kickout from Sam.}
Troy Franklin: The action is faced paced in the early going!
{Both are back up. Sam goes for the clothesline, but Keira side steps it and hits a dropkick that takes down Sam. Keira then gets caught from behind in a waistlock from the now back-in-the-ring Serizawa. Keira tries elbowing Serizawa, but she manages to avoid the attacks. Serizawa gets Keira about halfway up for the German, but Keira reverses the momentum and brings herself forward, taking Serizawa down into a Victory Roll out of the waistlock! 1……2… kickout! Both pop back up to their feet. Serizawa throws the clothesline, Keira sidesteps. Keira jumps for the dropkick, but Serizawa manages to scout it early and ducks out of the way. Keira falls down on the mat, making no impact with anything but the canvas. Serizawa lifts Keira up and shoots her into a corner. Sam, who is back up, says something to Serizawa who nods in agreement. Serizawa grabs Sam by the left arm and Irish whips her across and into Keira in the corner with a devastating clothesline. Sam then grabs Keira by the arm and whips her across the ring, right into a waiting Serizawa who lifts Keira up and nails an Alabama Slam! Serizawa rolls right through, hooking the inside leg. 1……2… Sam breaks it up!}
Troy Franklin: And Sam makes the save!
Duke King: Always have to watch out for the third person in this type of match!
{Sam brings Serizawa up to her feet and throws her into the ropes. Sam ducks down, but Serizawa manages to go over and land on her feet behind Sam in the Back Body Drop attempt. She traps Sam in a waistlock, and Sam struggles to escape. She rushes her way towards the ropes, uses them for momentum to push back, and Serizawa is forced to release the waistlock and fall back on the mat.

Serizawa staggers backward before getting taken down to the mat with a vicious clothesline. Keira steps through the ropes and out onto the apron, close to where Serizawa lays. She grabs ahold of the top rope before throwing herself over and back into the ring, landing on Serizawa with a Senton. Lateral press. 1…..2… Sam breaks it up with a Fallout Dropkick to the face of Keira, hitting her with both boots. Keira is sent rolling under the ropes and out of the ring. Keira stumbles around on the floor, while inside the ring Sam pulls back for momentum before flipping over and hitting a Somersault Plancha on Keira! The fans pop for the high risk move, and Sam is enjoying the admiration as She raises her hands in the air. She brings Keira up to her feet, still outside the ring. She grabs the arm to whip her, but Keira turns it around and sends Sam into the steel guard rail. Sam's face tells the story. Ben then starts forward out of the corner to fight back, and her right hands stun Keira. The two are battling it out at the foot of the ramp when suddenly Serizawa flies off the top turnbuckle down onto the two on the floor with a Cross Body-esque manuever! All three women are down for a few moments. Serizawa is the first one back up. She grabs Keira and rolls her into the ring. She immediately goes for the cover. 1…….2….NO!}
Troy Franklin: Serizawa is in control, but can she keep it with two other opponents?
Duke King: She's got the momentum now, but when you have a chance to win, you need to take it!
{Serizawa brings Keira up off the mat, only to drop her again with a basic Vertical Suplex. Serizawa steps through the ropes to the apron, and then begins climbing the turnbuckles. She reaches the top and seems ready to go for a move, but Sam jumps onto the apron and shoves Serizawa off the top and down onto the mat! Serizawa and Keira are both laid out in the ring. Ben Sam starts climbing the turnbuckles herself. When She gets up top and is comfortable, She leaps off and connects with a DOUBLE Top Rope Legdrop, falling with a leg on each man's throat!

Troy Franklin: Keira Fisher survives the triple threat match, and gains a huge victory!
Duke King: Keira dodged that spear, and took advantage on that!
{Sinner plays again as Keira rolls out the ring, a smile on her face, but she also grimaces a little from the fight. She breathes heavily, but still slaps a few fan hands on the way backstage!}
{"Madness" by Crossfaith blasts on the PA system, the lyrics rolling out. As the song explodes after the first verse Amber makes her way out her black hair flowing down as she throws her head back and lets out a laugh. Amber makes her way down to the ring, she runs and slides on her knee across the apron before resting her body against the ropes as the music fades out}
Troy Franklin: Amber won her debut last week, and she's looking to be a bit of a dark horse pick in this tournament.
Duke King: She certainly has the tool and the pedigree!
{Wooden Ships starts as Alex leaps out and throws a fist in the air. She then backs up and does a somersault on the spot, with green fireworks shooting out as she lands. She then saunters down to the ring, giving high-fives, posing with fans for photographs, playing air guitar, doing a robot dance etc.. Alex then hops up onto the ring apron, runs across and climbs a turnbuckle before backflipping into the ring. She usually tries to shake her opponent's hand.}
Troy Franklin: Always love Alex Yin.
{The bell sounds to signify the beginning of the match, and Alex Irish Whips Amber into the ropes. She grabs her by the head on the way back and leads her to the ropes, where She tosses her right over the ropes and out to the floor! Amber sits on the concrete outside the ring, holding the back of her head and glaring in the ring at Alex. Alex is in the ring giving the now universal "Just bring it" sign. Amber shakes her head in frustration as She climbs up onto the apron. She cautiously steps through the ropes to the inside. Amber and Alex approach one another before locking up. The two women jockey for position, and Alex backs Amber into a corner. The ref calls for a break, and Alex gives her a clean one.

{"Crushcrushcrush" plays and Mackenzie comes out she has a tiara on her head that says Queen Bitch and she waves to the crowd as they boo her. She doesn't slap hands or anything. She has a black sports bra and blue yoga pants on. She slides in the ring and stands in the middle of it waiting for her opponent.}
Troy Franklin: Mackenzie Roberts has been racking up win after win after win, and she may be hitting her stride as we enter this tournament.
Duke King: If I were a betting man, it's extremely hard to bet against Mackenzie right now!
{My Will by Dream starts to blast over over the PA as Miyoko Oshiro appears on the entrance ramp holding a barbed-wire wrapped steel chair with her name on it in Japanese and acompanied by Fergus Callaghan. Miyoko walks down to the ring and when she reaches it she tosses the chair into the ring and climbs up onto the apron and jumps over top rope and does a front roll to the approval of the crowd. As she enters, Mackenzie charges!}
Troy Franklin: And look out!
{Running lariat attempt from Mackenzie gets ducked and countered with a neckbreaker. Miyoko floats over into the quick pin, but only gets a one count this time.

Miyoko topples over the ropes and down onto the floor.}
Troy Franklin: The action spills out to the floor!
Duke King: Thank goodness we're far away.
{Crawling around the floor, she eventually finds her way to her feet, but is taken down again when Mackenzie flies over the ropes with a Plancha. Both women are down for a few seconds, and Mackenzie is back up. Mackenzie lifts Miyoko up and whips her into the steel ring steps. The steps come apart and are scattered around the ring. Miyoko uses the steel guard rail to pull herself up, while holding her lower back in pain. She starts to walk away from Mackenzie, to try and catch a breather. Mackenzie allows no time to regroup, and she has Miyoko from behind again. She grabs her with one hand on the hair and the other on the tights, and she throws Miyoko into the steel guard rail, shoulder-first. The ref tells Mackenzie to take it back inside the ring, but Mackenzie does nothing but glare at the referee. Miyoko's back up and hits knife edge chops to the chest of Mackenzie.

A few seconds pass, but Miyoko has no choice left but to tap out.}

{“Monster by Paramore” begins to blast all over the speakers. As it does so we are able to see Kate Steele-Warren emerge on the entrance ramp. She has a guitar in her hand but she doesn’t even bother to strum at it. She shows absolutely no emotion before she decides to hand her guitar to her husband Todd Warren who escorts her. She walks down to the ring locked in a trance as fans eagerly stretch out their arms to get the redhead to slap their hands. However what they get in return is nothing. No screaming, no reaction, just Kate simply walking to the ring. Todd smiles as he takes her place and tries to slap their hands but the fans pull back as they give him dirty looks.
She finally makes her way to the ring and once she get’s there she quickly slides into the ring. The fans roar with Steele chants but she just bounces around for a bit not acknowledging them as her mind is focus on the match itself.}
Troy Franklin: Some may question why Kate Steele is in this tournament, but her accomplishments cannot be ignored!
Duke King: Kate's got this in the bag!
{“The End is the Beginning is the End” by Smashing Pumpkins plays as Uzai Kazama walks through the entranceway waving the flag of the United Sisters of Asia (USA).

Oni walks out and pauses briefly to assess the crowd, before heading slowly to the ring, as Uzai walks ahead, continuing to wave the USA flag. They ignore the booing fans as they make their way down the ramp towards the ring. She pauses at ringside and allows Uzai to hold the ropes open for her to enter the ring and face her competition.}

Once mounted Oni, Kate hammers Oni in the face with right hand after right hand.}
Duke King: Kate's doing the right thing. When you've got the big monster down, you've got to do everything possible to keep her down.
Troy Franklin: Well said.

Duke King: Even Oni can't shake that off.
{Kate runs in at Oni, and Oni out of nowhere extends her arm to catch Kate. She spins Kate around from the momentum before sending her down to the canvas with a big Sidewalk Slam. Fans pop big for that one. Kate crawls to the ropes and uses them to pull herself up to her feet. Oni is back up already. Kate is leaning against the ropes in pain. Oni runs in at Kate, jumps, and takes Kate and herself over the ropes and out of the ring with a big Clothesline!}

Kate at the last moment ducks down, and Oni goes running face first into the steel post. Oni walks away dazed. Kate gets over to her and grabs her. She then leads Oni back to the ring and rolls her in.}
Duke King: Back inside the ring now!

Troy Franklin: I don't think so, Duke!
{Kate hits another few punches and Oni releases her. He falls back. Kate does as well, so he can put more pressure on the hold. With the hold on for a while, Oni starts to weaken.

{Kate hits more punches that send Oni down. But it knocks Oni back a little, and he is within reach of the ropes. Oni notices this, reaches out, and touches the bottom rope. The referee calls for the break. Kate unhooks the legs and lets Oni out of it. But once up to her feet, he grabs the leg of Oni and drags her back to the center of the ring.

Troy Franklin: Oni has done it! Oni is the 4th semi-finalist after an impressive victory!
Duke King: Now she joins Alex Yin, Mackenzie Roberts and Gabby Camacho! These final four has certainly earned it tonight!
{As the match ended, Oni grabbed Kate and tossed her through the ropes and down to the floor. The fans went silent as Oni, who usually showed more respect to her opponents, hopped out of the ring and stood over Kate with a look of pure hatred on her face.}
Troy Franklin: I don’t know what is going on here Duke, why is she going after Kate Steele like this?
Duke King: Maybe this has something to do with Kate jumping Miyoko a few weeks back. U.S.A. didn’t get the revenge it was looking for in the tag match against the Red Hots…maybe Oni is looking to get it now!
{Oni grabbed the ring bell from the timekeeper and stood over Kate, ready to hit her with it as she tried to clear her head. The fans boo’ed, but Oni paid them little attention as she drew back to nail her opponent. Suddenly a cheer erupted from the fans as her sister, The Marquee Champion ran down to ringside and grabbed Oni before she could connect with the bell. For a moment it seemed that Oni’s rage would turn on her sister, but she seemed to come to her senses before she lashed out again.}
Troy Franklin: Thank goodness Duke! I thought she was going to try to kill her! I have NO idea what got into her tonight!
Duke King: People like Crystal and Nicky have been saying that this woman is a danger…and I think tonight we all just got a peek!
{After realizing what she almost did, Oni started to bend down and check on Kate, but Nyako pulled her away, to make sure that no further incidents took place. The two members of U.S.A. walked back up the ramp towards the exit, even as Oni continue to look back towards ringside at Kate as she was helped to her feet.}
Duke King: Unreal! Oni just snapped!
Troy Franklin: I have no words to explain this. But it certainly was uncalled for!
Duke King: I wouldn't want to be the other 3 women in two weeks!
Troy Franklin: Well, one of them will have face her wrath in two weeks. And we'll see you then, the last stop, before we head to Rising Stars!
Troy Franklin: Hello everyone and welcome to LAW #21, Live from Erie, PA! I'm Troy Franklin along with Duke King, and Duke, tonight we start the road to crown to the new LAW Champion!

Troy Franklin: Let's go the ring and get this important night started!
{The lights flash in time with the opening beats of Block Shot Hustlaz, dimming as the first line hits the speakers. The lights brighten on sync with the third exclamation of the song and as the lights come up so does Serizawa appear on the ramp, her back towards the ring. The lights illuminate kanji characters on the back of her leather jacket; the characters say 'thug'. Serizawa turns around, a scowl permanently on her lips. She begins walking, rolling her neck as she approaches the ring. Serizawa climbs to the apron and faces the crowd, acknowledging their boos by pulling her right eyelid down and sticking her tongue out at them. Entering the ring, she scoffs at her opponent - or at the continued negative reaction from the crowd. Before the match begins she retreats to a corner and crouches down, rolling her neck a final time.}
Troy Franklin: Serizawa is always a threat, no matter what match she's in.
{In the air conditioned Hell named 'The L.A.W. Arena', eerie indie pop plays through a rented speaker system. The music cues a knowing audience to rise and cheer as Sam Lancaster emerges from the curtains wearing a winter coat in California, unsettled eyes fixed on the ring. She gives the audience a meek wave of a taped hand, folds her arms and marches to the ring like flustered Daffy Duck.}
Beth Harris: And from York, England, weighing in at 128 pounds... SAMMMM LANCASTER!
{She hikes up the ring steps, rubbing her hands together to get her sludge circulation going and grinding her running shoes on the apron as mere courtesy. When she's satisfied, she takes her place in her corner and slips out her coat. The black, lycra tights and matching crop top underneath make for much more appropriate wrestling attire.}
Troy Franklin: Sam had a bit of bad luck last week, and she's looking to bounce back this week.
Duke King: That's true, but in a triple threat match, anything can happen!
{“Sinner” by Drowning Pool plays and Keira Fisher makes her way to the ring, as the fans cheer. Keira enters the ring and poses for the fans.}

Troy Franklin: The action is faced paced in the early going!

Serizawa gets Keira about halfway up for the German, but Keira reverses the momentum and brings herself forward, taking Serizawa down into a Victory Roll out of the waistlock! 1……2… kickout!

Sam, who is back up, says something to Serizawa who nods in agreement. Serizawa grabs Sam by the left arm and Irish whips her across and into Keira in the corner with a devastating clothesline. Sam then grabs Keira by the arm and whips her across the ring, right into a waiting Serizawa who lifts Keira up and nails an Alabama Slam!

{"Madness" by Crossfaith blasts on the PA system, the lyrics rolling out. As the song explodes after the first verse Amber makes her way out her black hair flowing down as she throws her head back and lets out a laugh. Amber makes her way down to the ring, she runs and slides on her knee across the apron before resting her body against the ropes as the music fades out}
Troy Franklin: Amber won her debut last week, and she's looking to be a bit of a dark horse pick in this tournament.
Duke King: She certainly has the tool and the pedigree!
{Wooden Ships starts as Alex leaps out and throws a fist in the air. She then backs up and does a somersault on the spot, with green fireworks shooting out as she lands.
