TNW:R Championship: Seth Rollins (c) vs. Samoa Joe

[Submission Machine]

Backstage, Samoa Joe is seen making his way to the ring, wearing his signature black and green entrance shirt with his name on it, and carrying his signature white towel, over his shoulder. He has the face of a competitor, a real fierce competitor, ready to head down to the ring and kick some a**. He passes several people in the hallway towards the entrance curtains, and the people look scared of him. He ignores them, taking his shirt off and tossing it out of way, and putting the towel over both his shoulders, and he makes his way to the curtains before his music plays.



Samoa Joe's intimidating theme song begins to play in the arena, with it's slow, start. The audience cheers, knowing the history of this wrestler about to make his way to the ring. He walks out from backstage, the lights shining green throughout the arena with some yellow too. He walks down the ramp with no shirt on, just his wrestling gear, ready for a fight. Joe stops after walking out a good distance, giving the audience a big look, and then shouts loud, turning to the other side, pumped up for the match he is about to perform in, and stops shouting and begins walking down the ramp with purpose, and the announcer introduces him to the cheering crowd.




The Samoan Submission Machine himself walks down the rest of the ramp, slapping the hands of a few fans who had their hands extended over the barricade, and he turns left to the steps, walking up them and walks down the apron, stopping to enter the ring through the second rope. Joe walks to the opposite side of the ring throwing up the hand holding his thumb up, with the audience cheering him on. He walks around in a couple circles around the interior of the ring, keeping his energy going so he is well amped and into the match that's about to take place. Joe then stops in a corner, taking the towel off his shoulders and setting it to the outside, with his theme song slows and quits playing, and the lights go normal. He waits for either his opponent to come out or for the match to start.

 

[Messiah Seth Rollins]

"BELIEVE IN SETH ROLLINS.."
Name: Seth Rollins
Height: 6'2
Weight: 217 Ibs
From: Davenport, Iowa

Seth Rollins was backstage alone talking to nobody but himself in his mind. He was putting on his gloves that were attached to his tights, and tightening them to face his opponent who had found out was Samoa Joe. He had the title in front of him as it was shining in front of his face, and Rollins couldn't be more ready. Rollins was watching the nearby monitor, as it was showing Samoa Joe coming out at the moment as he obviously was coming out through the crowd as usual. Rollins didn't want to look, but he had to. He had to look at the intensity within Joe's's eyes, and see if he is actually ready for Rollins. Rollins trained more than ever from the time being, and he wasn't even touched most of the time during the shows. Rollins had tried to avoid a lot of situations where he could've injured himself, because he knew that Samoa Joe would take advantage of that injury. But that obviously didn't happen, because now, Seth Rollins was ready and more healthy he could ever be going up against Samoa Joe. Rollins was eventually seeing Samoa Joe coming into the ring, as someone backstage had came up to Rollins and was about to ask him to go up. Rollins already knew, telling the guy to go away, because he had to be focused coming out. He grabbed the championship and then lifted it up with both his hands, just looking at it. He kissed the title, because it could eventually be his last time with the championship for a while. He then wrapped the championship title around his waist and then buckled it up, getting ready to go out there. Rollins grabbed water bottles and then started to open them, and then pour it all over himself before going out there. He walked towards the door to the entrance tunnel with Joe's theme still playing and blasting. Rollins was walking down the tunnel then eventually reaching the end of it. He closed his eyes, with the silence in the arena had been in motion while Joe was still in the ring. Suddenly..the PA System eventually played Rollins' entrance video and his entrance music. Rollins opened back up his eyes and then was ready. He stayed there for the moment as wild drums and guitars were playing throughout the whole arena, as there was then a silence. It continued, with Rollins then walking through the curtain with his title around his waist still. He looked to the crowd while it was a huge mixed reaction towards Rollins. Some people were watching from home, and some people were voting for Rollins as well. Seth saw the many people in the crowd within the bleachers, wearing t-shirts, holding up signs, everything. But all of that didn't matter right now. Rollins was focused on one thing and one thing only, and that was defending the championship and successfully defending it against Samoa Joe. He started to walk down the ramp with a confident look on his face with the championship shining towards everybody in the arena. The announcer was in the ring with Samoa Joe, as both of them were watching Rollins coming down the ring. Rollins was staring down at Joe every step of the way. People in the side were trying to reach out for him, but Rollins of course didn't pay ANY attention to them at all. He continued on walking down the ramp, as eventually Seth reached the end of it. Rollins stopped and then took a moment before getting close to the ring at all. He stared down at Joe who was in the ring and made a left turn, still staring down at him. Rollins with step after step walked up on the steel stairs eventually grabbed the top rope and sliding his hand against it. Rollins walked to the middle of the apron, and again was STILL looking at Samoa Joe, as both men were both confident. Seth finally put his attention away from Joe and then walked over to the top rope and then climbed it, then unbuckling the championship and then lifting it up in the air then looking at Samoa Joe one more time. He rested his arms and then jumped into the ring, then placing the title over his shoulder. Rollins turning back around to Joe and then walking away from him once again. Rollins stared down at Joe with the crowd chanting in the background. ""LET'S GO ROLLINS! LET'S GO JOE!!" With half of the crowd going for Joe and half of the crowd was going for Rollins.The announcer then looked at both men to see if they were both in position. The announcer then lifted up the microphone to his/her lips, and then started to introduce the match. "Ladies and Gentlemen, this contest is now a Two out of the Isle of Samoa, weighing in at 289 pounds, Samoa, Joe!" The crowd would cheer, as Samoa Joe seemed to taunt in his corner. Rollins was still in his corner holding the championship, eventually being announced himself. "And his opponent. From Davenport, Iowa, weighing in at 217 pounds, he is the current, defending TNW:R Champion..Seth...Rollins!" Rollins then raised up the championship with both his hands grabbing it, shining it towards the arena. He gave his championship to the referee, with the referee then showing Rollins the gold he would be defending here tonight and also checking if he was ready. He then walked over to where Joe was and then showed him the championship as well. Samoa Joe had seemed to be ready as well, while the referee walked to the middle of the ring and then faced the main camera and raised the championship in the air. He walked over to the announcer who had went outside and then gave the championship to him to keep in the bellkeeper's area. The ref walked back up to Rollins and checked every body part in case he had anything in him that he could cheat with. He rolled up Rollins' legs and pants, then walking to Samoa Joe and doing the same. Seth and Joe were face to face across from each other, the referee pointed to both men and checked if they were both ready. Suddenly, the referee signaled for the bell. "DING! DING! DING!"
