After the video the fireworks fire off from the stage the music is still playing throughout the arena?Welcome everyone to WWA High Stakes? The camera is looking around at the crowd at ringside and through the arena.?WWA?s second PPV is live and on the air from Safeco Field, Seattle Washington! And Jackson we have a huge PPV ahead, a match that could end someone?s career and possibly even more!? the camera pans in on the ring announcers ?You are right Bob! Raven and DraVen Matrix will settle their differences inside Joker?s Wild X, and Bob, I have no idea what we are about to see here tonight!? ?Jack, I don?t think even the WWA wrestlers know what they are about to see here tonight, we also have the Ultimate Stakes match Petey Williams taking on Alex Shelley for the WWA Cruiserweight Title.
We have the High Stakes Rumble that will be our main event, the winner of that will face the WWA World Heavyweight Champion, whoever that may be after tonight, we have Samoa Joe looking for his first ever World Title. Scott Steiner, a former WCW World Champion, and our current World Champion, Christian Cage, who do you think is going to walk away Champion?? Buckley thinks a moment?I have to say that I am unsure of who will win, I would have said Scott Steiner coming in, but Christian Cage has found so many ways to retain the WWA World Title! But let?s not discount Samoa Joe, he may not have won a World Title in wrestling, but let?s not forget he has held some belts in his career, and he is no slouch in the ring!? ?You are quite right, Jackson, our World Champion has his hands full tonight!?
?I am looking for the Joker?s Wild X match, Bob, it has been talked about for weeks, Claudio Castagnoli was on Radio yesterday here in Seattle and even he has not found a clear winner of this match yet!? ?But Jack, will we see the vicious streak from Raven that saw him dominate in ECW? Or will we see Matrix just dominate Raven?? ?If Raven is going to survive he is going to have to fight Matrix at his own game, and that will mean he will have to bring back that part of him that DraVen has said he has lost!? ?We have heard that there is going to be an announcement of the 30th entrant in tonight?s High Stakes Rumble, but who will it be?? ?I wish I could tell you Bob, but my sources have been quiet all week.?

?You and I both know this fat Samoan isn?t worthy of being a World Champion or even a World Title challenger. Why do you suddenly think he should be given special treatment around here?? ?Steiner, you don?t speak for me I have seen talented young wrestlers come and go and they were never given the chance. They were never let shine and I am giving that chance to Samoa Joe a chance a lot of others never got.? Steiner gets even more angry?You?re telling me because guys like Joe who aren?t worthy of a title shot never got the chance to get one he deserves a chance to fight for that chance tonight? I don?t see any good reason why he should be allowed and not me. I was screwed out of the win, you know it, Cage knows it, and that fat ******* Samoa Joe knows it, but because you have a soft spot for no names, you are giving him another chance??
Hart ponders a moment?Let me, point something out to you Steiner, you lost not only tonight but in your other title matches, you have had your chance and you have blown it. Why should you get more chances when Samoa Joe has not been given one??Christian Cage on his knees on the outside with his belt?I don?t see why either are given another chance, neither of them are going to become WWA World Champion.? Steiner turns to Cage with an angry look on his face?Cage, think yourself lucky you are still wearing that World Title, after you cheated to win the damn title!? ?Enough!

?DraVen, we all need... a haven. A sanctuary a place to hide a place to escape a place to dream and hope a place, where the darkness won't be so frightening. So it is written so it shall come to pass. But for some, the darkness is a relentless enemy. It cannot be eluded. And once the darkness senses your fear; once it senses your pain, it is never far behind. I can empathize with these people. I can understand their futility. I can forgive your hopelessness. I feel your pain. Because tonight, your pain will be the product of what I have to give when WWA said I could choose a little addition to this match, well DraVen, tonight the cage will be encased with barbed wire. You see when I spent time down in Steel City I used to have to wrap myself in barbed wire to survive, and survive I did I survived by making them suffer and make them bleed when they would bleed it would feed that inner best that was eating away at my soul, forcing me to suffer greatly well DraVen, no more shall I suffer at the hands of you tonight will be the night when all your nightmares come at once, and I shall reign the new United States Champion. You didn?t heed my warning you didn?t bother to listen, so tonight you shall see what happens when you lock a Raven away inside a box of pain, and misery. You have brought the pain on yourself and tonight the world will see the end of DraVen Matrix, as a man, as a champion and as a professional wrestler. Quote the Raven, nevermore.?
Raven sits in the corner smiling away Cut my life into pieces this is my last resort! Is heard throughout the arena as DraVen Matrix walks out from the back holding a microphone ?And his opponent, hailing from parts unknown, here is DraVen Matrix!? he stands in the ramp way with the microphone ?I have a surprise for you Raven, you see since you have made your final peace with the world, I have decided that the good Reverend with give you the last rites! After the match when I am standing over your broken body I shall commit your spirit to eternal damnation you will be forever trapped in your own personal hell never to escape there you shall relive the pain that you suffered tonight. There you shall see the birth of a new legend, you will see me rise above the mere mortals into a new light. I shall look down upon the world as the new ruler of the World. The WWA shall see the end of what once was a hardcore legend, and a man that stood of all that was this business. My respect for you, dear teacher has diminished I have nothing but distain for you, I condemn you, I despise everything that you stood for and everything that you are. You are nothing more then another step in the ladder of what shall be my crowning achievement and Raven, for now you may breath but when this is all said and done those breaths you take shall cease.?
DraVen Matrix passes the microphone to Christy Hemme who has just walked out from the back to wish DraVen luck he walks down the ramp and into the ring, Paul Heyman gives them a final word before leaving the ring. The lights go down and the cage starts to lower from the roof. Around the tope of the cage is barbed wire, and there are other signs of barbed wire around the cage. It finally touches down and we are almost ready for the match to begin.
Christy Hemme stays at the top of the ramp as the bell rings. Raven runs at DraVen he leap frogs him and Raven stops DraVen turns around and walks into a punch to the face. Raven punches him again as the fans are cheering every shot to the face of DraVen, he then Irish whips DraVen into the ring ropes and then drop toe holds him down. Raven runs into the ropes and then repels off and drops the knee into the back of the head of DraVen.
Raven scouts a sack on the top of the cage he walks over to the corner and starts to climb the turnbuckle he reaches the top and he reaches for the sack, he cannot reach it the first time he tries again. DraVen Matrix is to his feet he sees Raven over in the corner trying to get a weapon he makes his way over to where Raven is, Raven leaps for the bag again and he gets it the second time. DraVen Matrix charges at the turn buckle and Raven kicks him away the first time but Matrix comes back and Raven tries to kick him away again but DraVen hits Raven knocking him down to the top turn buckle the bag that Raven had hits the canvas. DraVen Matrix climbs up the turn buckle he lifts up Raven and then sits Raven on his shoulders he leaps off the top turn buckle and it?s a top rope Death Valley Driver!
?Holy ****!? chants ring out as Raven bounced off the canvas after bringing spiked into the canvas. But Matrix is down as well he?s hurt Hemme is screaming at him to get up. He slowly makes it to his feet and he falls into the side ropes.
Matrix walks over to where the bag has fallen and he picks it up and unties it and inside the bag is barbed wire! The fans are cheering the barbed wire being brought out even though DraVen Matrix has the barbed wire. He wraps it around his arm and his fist and he walks over to Raven and Raven is on his knees Matrix hits Raven with the barbed wire fist to the head and Matrix rips the barbed wire from the forehead of Raven. He then goes to hit him again but Raven blocks it, he sends Matrix into the ropes he hits the ring ropes hard and he hits the cage where there is barbed wire! It?s caught his ring attire and he tries to rip it off. The referee goes over and helps him unhook himself but Raven is not going to let up he charges at Matrix hooking him and then drops him on his head in a DDT!
Raven takes the remaining parts of DraVen Matrix?s attire from the cage and he tosses it away Raven stands over Matrix and he unwraps the barbed wire and he grates it across the forehead of Matrix the fans gasp at what is going on! Matrix is now bleeding from the barbed wire being raked across his forehead.
Raven helps him up and he points towards the cage and he drags DraVen Matrix towards the cage Matrix tries to fight off Raven and Raven has his arm hooked he twists it around and he?s now behind DraVen. Matrix back kicks Raven! Raven is gtabbing at the sore area! That left the male fans feeling extra pain! Raven is buckled over Matrix grabs him and he shoves him at the cage and Raven goes through the cage! RAVEN?S HEAD JUST SMASHED THE CAGE!
The fans chant as Raven is now outside the cage Raven is busted open and he is lying on the floor outside the ring with the side of the cage lying on tope of him. Matrix springboards up and hits a corkscrew onto the cage that is lying on top of Raven. IT?S A RAVEN CLUB SANDWICH! The fans start chanting
?Holy ****!? Raven and DraVen Matrix are both down on the outside Hemme is still in the entrance way and she is looking worried she comes down and she tries to get Matrix back on his feet but he?s feeling the affects of landing on part of the steel cage!
A groggy Matrix is up and he looks up and sees a light tube attached to the top of the cage he points to it but first he looks under the ring and he pulls out a table. He rips it out from under the ring and he sets it up. He then looks under the ring again and he finds himself a chair, but it?s no ordinary chair it?s wrapped in barbed wire! He lifts it in the air and the fans start cheering Matrix hits Raven with the chair and Raven screams in pain and he wrenches the chair from Raven ripping an already ripped shirt. It?s finally off of Raven and he hits him again on the bare flesh!
He pulls the chair off or at least tries it?s hooked to skin of Raven, and he pulls it off and there is blood appearing from a small gash on the back of Raven. Matrix drops the chair and Matrix starts to climb the cage he wobbles but Matrix is climbing it. Raven is stirring though and he is trying to get back up Hemme tries to kick Raven but her foot is caught and Raven hits THE EVENFLOW! Hemme is laid out Matrix reaches the light tube he looks down and sees Raven is staggering he swings one foot over the cage and he is now sitting on the top of the cage. He is close to reaching the scaffold but he has Raven to content with at the moment and reaching up will most likely see him fall!
Raven tries to stand again and he shakes the cage Matrix almost losing his balance drops the light tube to the canvas and it smashes on the canvas Matrix swings another foot over the cage and he tries to climb down but Raven shakes it again and Matrix falls off the cage and slams the canvas landing on the broken light tube.
Raven picks up the chair at ringside some officials come down and they help up Christy Hemme after she was DDT?d on the mats on the outside. Raven tosses the chair over the cage it hits the scaffold and then the cage but it settles in the ring. He then starts looking under the ring and then he finds a STOP sign under the ring he pushes that into the ring. Raven then looks under the ring again and pulls out a kendo stick from under the ring he waves it around to the crowd and he decides to roll into the ring.
Matrix is on his stomach after rolling onto it after the fall from the cage Raven canes Matrix! He hits him again right on the back! Matrix grabbing his back rolls around and then gets back to his feet he retreats to the corner he?s breathing hard. Raven goes to snap it over his head but Matrix moves and the stick hits the top turn buckle in the corner. It comes out of Raven?s hands and Matrix drops to his knees Raven picks the kendo stick back up from the corner and he whacks Matrix across the back snapping the kendo stick parts of it fly off.
Raven now pretending the kendo stick is a sward puts the sword away and the fans cheer and he gives off a bow. The fans are cheering Raven he points to the scaffold and the fans cheer and chant for him to go for the title. He climbs the ropes and latches onto the cage he then ascends the cage slowly climbing up the cage Matrix tries to get to his feet but he drops back down to his knees.
Raven reaches the top of the cage but he stops he doesn?t go for the ladder to get to the scaffold, he finds another sack and he unattaches it from the cage and he starts to climb back down the cage. He reaches the top rope and then he slowly reaches the bottom of the cage. Raven unties the rope on the sack and looks inside the sack and he pulls out a light tube! The fans are cheering this they have been looking forward to seeing a man hit with a light tube.
Matrix is crawling towards the ropes Raven is stalking his prey Raven lets him get to his feet and he is draped across the top rope Raven taunts Matrix he turns around and sees Raven standing there with a light tube. Raven swings it but Matrix ducks it, Raven swings it again and Matrix hits a drop toe told the light tube crashes to the ground and Matrix walks over to corner and drops down in the corner to take a breather. Raven rolls back over and he taunts Matrix and Matrix gives Raven the finger as he sits in the corner Raven charges at him and Matrix quick as ever moves out of the way.
Raven is in the corner and Matrix hits a backflip kick to the head of Raven PELE! PELE! PELE!

Matt Bentley and crushes him into the mat with a huge sideslam.
A staggering Raven boots him into the mid section and delievers an Evenflow DDT on Mesias Raven rolls out of the ring and looks up at where the title is. But the scaffold has barbed wire around it so he looks under the ring and he pulls out a large ladder.
He sets up the ladder next to the scaffold leg, he staggers around and starts to climb the ladder, DraVen Matrix tries to get to his feet He sees Raaven climbing the ladder on the outside he rolls out of the ring and climbs the ladder as well. Raven reaches the top but he sees DraVen Matrix making his way up to. Raven reaches over and grabs onto the scaffold Matrix reaches the top and he is on the scaffold too but the title is in the middle of the X.
Matrix pulls out a light tube from the scaffold and stands there pointing it at Raven, Raven comes at DraVen he swings, Raven ducks DraVen swings again and smashes the light tube over the head of Raven.

He elbows Matrix they are fighting back and forth there Raven now tries to throw Matrix from the scaffold the fans are gasping as Matrix fights back neither man wishes to fall from the scaffold to the table on the outside.
But from nowhere Matrix pushes Raven off the scaffold and he lands in the middle of the ring!
HOLY ****! HOLY ****! HOLY ****! Matrix turns around and Frankie Kazarian is on the scaffold, where did he come from? Super kick from Kazarian, it has Matrix wobbly a dropkick sends Matrix to the canvas!
HOLY ****! HOLY ****! HOLY ****! Both Raven and Matrix are now down A replay is shown of both Raven and then Matrix hitting the canvas both men are down they are both bleeding and the fans are right in this. Raven attempts to get up he is looking glassy eyed and looks like he?s struggling to walk he drapes himself across the top rope.
Matrix has started to stir he?s looking glassy eyed as well and he gets to his feet he staggers across to Raven and they are to grabble but Matrix drops to a knee Raven helps him back up and attempts to throw him into the cage but it?s blocked.
Matrix tries to throw Raven into the cage, but that too is blocked and Matrix just whips Raven into the ropes. Once off the ropes Matrix hits a drop kick and both are down again, fatigue is starting to show and starting to take it?s toll on both men.
Kazarian is no longer on the top of the scaffold, just like he had appeared he has disappeared and Mesias is no longer at ringside either. Matrix is the first up he leaves the ring and goes through the hole in the cage. He climbs up the ladder and he stops at the top he looks down and he doesn?t see Raven moving he tries to reach over to climb onto the scaffold.
Raven is up and he too is climbing the ladder now, the bird was playing dead! He is now on the top of the ladder Matrix is in the middle of the X on the scaffold and he looks up and he sees a light tube dangling above him he pulls it down Raven is still on the ladder Shannon Moore comes running down from the back he gets to the ladder and he starts to shake the ladder Raven almost falls off the ladder but he climbs back down Marcus Cor Von is on the scaffold!

He reaches the middle where Marcus Cor Von is, they shake hands! Raven goes for the belt as Marcus Cor Von just walks away. But Cor Von stops and he turns around and calls out to Raven, Raven turns around and Cor Von just pounced Raven! The fans aren?t even sure how to even explain what they have just seen or even know if they should boo or cheer what has just happened.
Shannon Moore looks up and Marcus Cor Von is standing there looking down with a smile on his face, Marcus Cor Von climbs down the ladder he reaches the bottom and he slides into the ring. He stands over the broken bodies of DraVen Matrix and Raven neither have stirred since being tossed from the top of the scaffold Cor Von tells Shannon Moore to get him a microphone, so Moore leaves and gets a microphone and re-enters giving the microphone to Marcus Cor Von
?I?ve had enough of seeing you two fighting over who was the most extreme, or who was the most brutal wrestler. It made me sick it made me sick to see you DraVen Matrix as the leader of the Carnival of Carnage, it made me stick to see you walk around as the WWA United States Champion. So tonight I took you and tossed your body from the top of the scaffold to show you that I can strike from anywhere and I can hit you from anywhere I can get at you.
And Raven I took your dreams of winning the WWA United States Title and I ended it all it one move, you thought I would help you?? the fans are booing Marcus Cor Von as he continues ?You see Raven you thought I actually wanted you to win that United States Title, you should really watch who you trust Raven as tonight shows you cannot trust anyone. ? The fans start to chant ?Shut The **** up!? over and over again it starts to anger Cor Von?I will shut up when I have finished what I have to say! And what I have to say is I want the WWA United States Title I believe I am the better man to wear that title neither of these two are good enough to wear the title!? Just as he finishes his rant Matt Bentley slides into the cage he ducks an attack by Shannon Moore and he ducks Cor Von, off the ropes he kicks Cor Von in the face sending him down the fans cheer as he then attacks Shannon Moore, Moore runs out of the ring the ring has been cleared of the rubbish! It?s now back to Raven and Matrix in the ring!
After all of this Matrix is trying to get up! His face is covered in blood and he is trying to stand he falls back on his ass. The fans seemed to find that amusing as he is struggling to stand, neither man can get back to their feet. Raven is now up! The fans are cheering him on he drops a knee into the face of Matrix who is still lying on the broken table, Raven assists him to his feet DraVen Matrix has the staggers. EVENFLOW! He just planted DraVen?s head into the mat, so much so we see a nice red mark on the ring!
Raven drops down he?s just sitting there trying to shake off the fall he took and the other shots, this match has lived up to the billing of being wild! There has been so much action inside and outside the ring.

This has gone from a violence filled match to a wrestling match in a few short minutes, Matrix is at the legs of Raven and he applies a sharp shooter on Raven, but Matrix calls it his Matrix Lock. Raven screams in pain he knows he cannot reach the ropes to break the hold, Matrix drops the hold he has done a little damage but not a lot. He decides to ascend the cage he climbs up and he reaches the top of the cage, he pulls down a 3rd bag from the cage and he unties the bag inside the bag are thousands and thousands of thumbtacks!
Matrix turns the bag upside down and the tacks fall to the canvas, the fans are cheering the unleashing of more weapons! He helps up Raven and walks him over towards the tacks! He?s calling for the Enter the Matrix?on the thumb tacks?! He sets him up but it?s blocked! By a vicious lowblow! The men in the crowd suddenly all gasp at that one!

This may have ended the match right there as Raven surely cannot compete after that move.
Matrix looks down and sees Raven with thumb tacks in his head, he leaves the ring through the hole in the cage and he looks under the ring he pulls out a table from under the ring. Some fans would suggest he go for the United States Title and end this match! But he wants to inflict more pain on Raven, so let?s get back to what he is doing he is trying to get the table into the ring. It just won?t get in the ring he finally gets the table into the ring he re-enters the ring and grabs the table and he sets it up. He then ascends the cage he makes it to the top of the cage he sits at the top of the cage throwing one leg over one side of the cage.
He swings his other leg over he reaches up for the rope ladder he climbs that onto the scaffold Raven is stirring in the ring. Matrix sees him stirring and he pulls down a light tube, and he challenges Raven to join him up there. Raven goes outside the ring and climbs the ladder that is outside the ring Matrix could have saved some time climbing that ladder! Raven is not at the top of the ladder and he grabs onto the scaffold we are ready for showdown 10 or so on this scaffold it?s even now both men have taken the plunge from up here and believe me when we say DO NOT TRY THIS **** AT HOME! Hell don?t try this **** at all we?re nuts, they are nuts and someone is about to visit the emergency room 6 blocks away from the arena.
Raven has himself a light tube and it is now light tube showdown on the scaffold, both men are almost at 20 paces welcome to the Wild Wild West! Matrix is calling for Raven to come at him, he?s daring him Raven is daring Matrix to make the first move both men decide to just go at each other both swing. The light tubes clash and they are smashed pieces fly off everywhere luckily the fans aren?t in line! Matrix slams down the broken piece of his and he just catches Raven with an enziguiri right to the head that drops him to one knee.
Matrix is going to pounce on Raven, Raven seeing double tries to elbow one of the DraVen?s he can see, he misses one elbow, and he then elbows Matrix in the stomach he shakes his head he is trying to get back to his feet he has the staggers. Raven attempts to push Matrix off the scaffold but he cops and elbow himself, Matrix pushes Raven off the scaffold and Raven ends up crashing through the table in the ring.

?With one war ending, another shall begin? the ring crew start to remove pieces of the cage, some officials come down to the ring to check on Raven, they remove pieces of the tables that have been broken from the ring ?Raven I told you that the end of you was coming and that I was going to take you to hell and back.? Matrix stands up and walks over towards Raven who is still lying in the middle of the broken table bleeding from the head ?I have to say this from you Raven, the man that mentored me and showed me what it was like the go to hell and back was all about, I have waited a long time to see that man come back I have waited to see the fight you once had flow back. The look in your eyes when this match started and the match was going on has been lacking in you it has been so long since you have had that fire burn inside you. It has been so long since you have tried to break a man into pieces. Aren?t you glad that I brought that monster back out? That monster that terrorized ECW, WCW? That same monster that started to lose it?s strength in WCW, and then when you returned to ECW that fire was gone, and we had to wait until tonight to see you bring back that side of you again.?
The officials call for DraVen Matrix to back away from Raven as they bring out some EMTs from the back. Matrix is handed the WWA United States Title ?The only thing that mattered tonight was this title, and now that I have kept this title in my grasp, I will go onto the High Stakes Rumble and I will win that match! I will then become the next WWA World Heavyweight Champion and I will carry not only that belt but this belt as well.? The EMTs put Raven onto a stretcher and they take him into the back Matrix is still in the ring.?And Raven, don?t think I am a man without respect, because I am, the man I didn?t respect was the man you had become the man that has turned into what you have now become. But tonight I saw the side of you that made you, you the side of you that was not just you conforming to what they wanted you to be. They wanted you to wear a suit and they wanted you to be the poster boy wrestler the man that has no voice, a man who just sits there and smiles and nods and accepts what they shove down our throats as gospel. That man was the reason this war began he was gone, he had been missing for so long once you went to the WWE, and went to TNA you became nothing more then another ECW star that had lost that flame lost that reason to lace up those boots and come out here despite knowing you will never be given the respect you deserved. But you knew that you didn?t need it, but you started to believe you needed that respect to get you to come out that curtain into this ring, you sold out Raven, you left behind a generations of Raven fans who accepted you for those little things that made you stand out. When you came to WWA you became just another wrestler that took their orders, and wrestled the way they wanted.?
Matrix stops a moment ?This now gives you the chance to find yourself again and become that man that terrorized ECW.? Last Resort hits and Matrix raises his arms in victory he tosses the microphone to Tommy O?Shea and he walks out of the ring and starts to walk to the back the ring crew are cleaning up the ring.
DraVen Matrix gained 2 points of overness from this match. DraVen Matrix gained 9 points of overness from this feud ending. Raven gained 3 points of overness from this feud ending. The WWA United States title has gained in image.
