Eight. Bruce is to his feet now as Rottentreat rushes in and grabs him by the head and he tries to drive it into the cage, but Bruce puts his hands up, blocking it.
The referee in the other room is checking on KPN who is moving, despite behind dumped on her head. KPN reaches out to the moving treadmill to help her to her feet and as she gets to her feet, Morgan charges in for another strike, but KPN ducks down and backdrops her. In doing so, Morgan lands back first on the moving treadmill and she is shot like a projectile into the back of KPN’s legs, and the two tumble across the floor.
Biff Franklin: What in the hell was that? I’ve never seen anything like that before.
With both wrestlers down, the referee begins to count.
One.
Two.
But they are already beginning to move.
Meanwhile, in the other gym, Bruce has battled Rottentreats down and he walks over and wraps his arms around one of the big heavy hanging punching bags and lifts it off the hook. As Rottentreats staggers to his feet, Bruce charges at him and crashing right into him, smashing him into the MMA cage, causing the cage to actually come free of the frame, and the two crash into the middle of the cage.
Biff Franklin: Are you kidding me? These two are ripping the place apart.
Over in the other gym, both wrestlers have been down but not to the point where a count needed to be made. Morgan is actually on her feet first. She comes in after KPN, but suddenly KPN comes to life as she charges Morgan and spears her into the wall. Morgan disappears into the sheetrock, but KPN stops suddenly and drops to the floor.
Christine Donahue: The wall now? What happened to Morgan?
Another camera appears and Morgan is laid out in the hallway and we see a big hole in the wall that she came through. KPN hasn’t moved.
Biff Franklin: I’m not sure what happened here.
The referee is counting both wrestlers. Morgan is moving but obviously hurting.
One.
Two.
Three.
Morgan rolls over onto her side.
Four.
Five.
Morgan starts to push herself up onto her knees.
Six.
KPN still hasn’t moved.
Seven.
Eight.
Morgan puts her feet underneath her and slowly stands up.
Nine.
Ten!!
The bell inside the arena sounds.
Madoka Kawada: KPN has been eliminated from the Triad Challenge.
Morgan is seen standing unsteady in a hallway, brushing white chalk from her as the referee is explaining to her where she needs to go.
Christine Donahue: Can we get a replay because I have no idea what just happened, I know we still have a match going on, but maybe split screen?
As Bruce and Rottentreats are inside the cage, a replay is shown on the other side of the screen that shows as KPN speared Morgan through the wall, her head connected with a hidden wood stud in the wall and it knocked her out.
Biff Franklin: Yeesh. That looked painful as hell.
Christine Donahue: We have some medics on their way to check out KPN, but we can go full screen right now to the other gym. Morgan is going to have to make her way over there at some point.
The screen widens back up as we see Bruce and Rottentreats battling back and forth. Bruce grabs a hold of Rottentreats and whips him across the MMA cage. Rottentreats flips upside down and lands in one of the corners on his head.
Biff Franklin: I guess clowns aren’t like cats. They don’t always land on their feet.
Bruce picks up the heavy bag and struggles to raise it high over his head and then just drops it on the fallen clown.
Christine Donahue: Ouch.
Bruce staggers back to lean against the cage as the referee begins to count.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Eight.
Rottentreats pushes the bag off of him.
Nine.
He starts to roll over, but it’s too late as the referee counts…
Ten!!!
Again the bell rings inside the arena.
Madoka Kawada: Mr. Rottentreats has been eliminated. We are down to Bruce McLeod and Morgan Payne. The winner of the next fall will be the winner of the Triad Challenge.
Biff Franklin: That’s all fine and dandy but we have one competitor who has been through hell on one side of this building in Morgan Payne and we have another competitor who’s all the way on the other side of the building in Bruce McLeod and somehow in order to win this match, they are going to have to find each other.
Christine Donahue: So, we are going to get these two competitors in the same location. Let’s… Okay. I’m getting word that we’re going to take a short break to allow these competitors to come together and we will be right back with the conclusion of the Triad Challenge.
Christine Donahue: Welcome back to the Triad Challenge. We have both referees trying to ensure that each competitor can continue and right now they are both saying that they can definitely continue. The referees are trying to at least coach them to help them find their way back.
Biff Franklin: To be honest, I’m not exactly sure how these two are supposed to continue at this point.
Morgan Payne is the first to finally enter the arena as the fans that are in attendance are cheering. The referee is leading her towards the ring meanwhile, Bruce McLeod has finally exited the ring room and is being led towards the ring.
Christine Donahue: At least we have both competitors in the same general vicinity now.
Biff Franklin: Are they still capable of fighting?
Bruce’s face is a bloody mess he finally makes it down to the ring. The referee is finally able to get a good look at that cut, but Bruce pushes him away. The other referee is trying to ensure that Morgan is able to continue but she threatens him and he backs off. Both still on the outside of the ring, but at the ringside area, as they walk towards each other and as soon as they get within reach, they start trading blows.
Christine Donahue: There isn’t any quit in these competitors. They want to be the Triad Challenger winner.
Biff Franklin:
