When the Lights Go Out

It was a very unfortunate week for the EWA. Due to a massive power grid failure in St. Louis, the regularly scheduled Wednesday Night Face-Off event was canceled after only one match! All of the lights went out in the arena, causing the program to come to a halt mid-broadcast. With only days left before the big October PPV, Devil's Night, one has to wonder if this is a blessing or a bad omen. News has come from the EWA Headquarters that another show will take place in St. Louis, once the power grid has been repaired.
One match did take place during the evening and that was the tag team scramble, though it may have been called a tag team massacre. The current tag team champions, Freakazoid and Spawn, took on four other tag teams and established their dominance as champions. With maneuver after devastating maneuver, the champions were large and in charge. Though it constantly appears that these two are falling back into their old ways, one has to wonder what tension could be bubbling beneath the surface. With a big tag team title defense in only a few days against the former Tag Team Champions, The Buckeyes, will that tension be a benefit or a flaw? Needless to say, after a vicious Spawn Splash on the Garbage Man, Freakazoid lifted him high into the air and executed a devastating Freaky Look Powerbomb for the pin. With the momentum the champs are on, they could be holding those titles for some time to come.
The most surprising event of the night was the return of former Women's Champion, Sasha Talouse, and she came back with a vengeance! Before making some harsh comments to the EWA, she hit our own Abigail King with a horrifying chair shot shortly before she was to be introduced. Obviously embittered by months on the shelf after being injured by Nikki Chalice, she is looking to make an impact. She may have done that. Will her actions herald the attention of the Women's Champion, Aether? Will Aether still be champion after Devil's Night when she faces Phade in a Last Man Standing match?
What events will unfold at Devil's Night? Will gold change hands? Will the devil get his due? What effects will Wednesday's unfortunate power outage have? We'll have to tune in to find out!
