A low idling of a motorcycle engine can be heard as the opening piano of "Zombie" by Bad Wolves can be heard. Wendy "Zombie" Stevens is kneeling in silhouetted shadow, a hood over her head, Lexa Pellegrini standing behind her as smoke wisps along the entrance ramp.
♫♫♫
Another head hangs lowly, child is slowly taken
And the violence causes silence, who are we mistaken?
But you see, it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs, and their bombs, and their drones
In your head, in your head, they are crying
♫♫♫
WHAT'S IN YOUR HEAD?!?!?!?!?!
At the instant the word 'Head' is sung, pyro goes off, Stevens kips up and pulls off the hood, a sadistic smile on her face that the camera picks up. She stops midway down the ramp, and looks around at the crowd before running down the ramp into the ring, and diving through the second and bottom ropes, rolling through the dive as she enters the ring, and lands on the opposite second and bottom ropes.

The following match is for one fall!!! Making her way to the ring first... weighing in at 157 pounds..... from Manhattan, New York....... she is being accompanied by Lexa Pellegrini... representing the Shieldmaidens... she is the MHW ThrowDown Televsion Champion... Wendy "Zombie" Stevens!!!
Zombie gets on the turnbuckles of each of the four corners, doing a finger formation of the letter M for her Shieldmaidens, as Lexa steps in the ring.
Ray Hudson
Zombie has been wanting this match for a long time, and it is finally here.
Wavy Crockett
I think everyone wants to kick Ricky's ass.
Jen Vallejos
He is definately good at ruffling some feathers.
Ray Hudson
So Wavy, does that mean we can expect a 'Stanton vs Wavy' match in the future.
Wavy Crockett
No.
Zombie jumps off the fourth corner, and takes her hood off and hands it to Lexa, giving her a small peck as she holds the ropes open for her to step out.
Jen Vallejos
Mr. Stanton is currently 0-2 here in Mile High. So while Zombie has been wanting this match, Stanton needs to win this match.
Zombie stands in the center of the ring, glaring up the ramp for her opponent.
Ray Hudson
And they really wanted the ThrowDown Title on the line for this match. But of coarse Mr. Stanton doesn't meet the five match requirement, nor is he actually even signed to MHW as an active superstar.
Jen Vallejos
Could you imagine if the title was on the line, and Stanton walked out champion?
The lights go out and the black Superman logo appears on the big screen. Fall Out Boy’s "Centuries" starts to play throughout the arena.
♫♫♫
Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me, for centuries
Just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
Remember me for centuries..

Boom! Pyro goes off as "Pretty" Ricky Stanton comes down the ramp. He’s wearing a glittering wrestling robe and it shines as the spotlight falls on him.
Meozha Zhanae
And her opponent... weighing in at 215 pounds..... from Richmond, Virginia....... "Pretty" Ricky Stanton!!!
Stanton slowly walks up the steps, looking around, before he gets into the ring.
Ray Hudson
I'm not going to deny I have goosebumps right now. I'm pretty pumped for this match though, guys.
Stanton walks to the center of the ring, drops to his knees and points at the sky for a moment. He then gets up and flaunts the robe, eventually taking it off and going to his corner.
