Chapter 18: Triple Threat Match (I)

When it was already 7 pm, the whole arena was full. At this point, Capside Centre had already recorded 6120 attendance. It had been long since they recorded an attendance as large as this, making the general manager quite amazed.

Arnold had given all his efforts to prepare himself and was patiently sitting on one of the couches inside his room, watching other matches of the show. The triple threat match was the main event, so he had more time to reflect and get his body and mind ready.

Arnold watched Lila's match against one of the top female wrestlers on the roster, but she lost unfortunately, losing an opportunity to have a No. 1 Contender Fatal 5-way match in the next show.

Although she applied great effort, she confronted a female beast. Arnold wouldn't be shocked if this lady ended up becoming the next women's champion.

Mark, whose name is Bobby Crimson in the ring secured a narrow win against Dark Dew, the guy who gave Arnold his ninth defeat back at the university's final-year exams.

Although it didn't go so easily, a smile of successful revenge could be seen appearing on his pale face.

"Thank you, Mark! Hahaha!" Arnold couldn't help but laugh.

Soon, those laughs were seized on his face, replaced by a sharp burning countenance.

It was time!

******

The main event of the show finally came, the cheers of fans echoing crazily as though like an erupting volcano. This time, the viewers on social media increased, and even many who hadn't felt the vibe of the other matches got their spirits awakened.

Of course, who wouldn't love the heat of a Triple Threat Match?

It wasn't just going to be chaotic, it would be exciting!

"Pheww... Hey bro, it's time already," Arnold said to himself, his eyes burning with dark glints.

"If I don't win this match, then DAMN! I'm going to leave a miserable impression on the fans," he muttered.

"That's not gonna happen, okay? Just calm down. Relax."

Arnold tried to put his mind at rest, inhaling, exhaling, inhaling, exhaling... Inhaling, and then exhaling softly repeatedly.

Clenching his fists, he chewed on his spit in his mouth, meditating. After standing and meditating for a moment, Arnold heaved a sigh, pulled open the door, and walked into the alleyway, heading to the arena.

"The following contest is scheduled for One Fall...!"

"One Fall!!!"

"... And it's a triple threat match!"

The voice of the announcer echoed from the distance, however, what gripped Arnold's attention was Rowan Pierce's stage music that was being reverberated through the arena.

"Introducing first, from Everett, Washington. Rowan Pierce!"

Arnold heard cheers, but it didn't seem to be too loud. While Rowan Pierce tried to win the love of the fans, it still just didn't work as planned.

After a few minutes, Arnold also walked into the arena and waited behind the wrestling area for Axel Stone to make his entrance into the ring. He was the new man here, so the management tried using his appearance to freak the fans, making them wait a little longer to see him.

"And his opponent, from Orlando, Florida. The Iron-fisted Predator, Axel Stone!"

Axel Stone was introduced as he made his way to the ring. This time, it wasn't cheers but BOOs. It was certain that someone like him would be hated by the fans due to his cruel, arrogant attitude.

After Axel Stone had left for the ring, it was now time for Max Fury to make his entrance. The whole arena was quite silent for a while until a familiar music suddenly sounded.

"And the second opponent, from San Diego, California. Weighing in 222 pounds, Max Fury!"

Although the cheers were huge, Arnold guessed this was just because he was coming for the first time. The fans must be rooting for him to win these two f**king sons of a bitch!

Also, he came from Rising Impact University, so it was certainly an exciting debut event to watch.

Clad in his red leather jacket and red leather boots, Arnold made a fierce gesture by raising both fingers above his head, staring down at the screen floor.

Right after, he matched towards the ring with his eyes fixed on both Rowan and Axel. Somehow, it seemed that these two merciless men were already figuring out a way to break his bones when the match began. Their faces showed a clear hint of heartless destruction.

Axel's was indescribable!

However, Arnold never bothered and kept walking to the ring.

"Max Fury just reawakened the glory of Late Jk Styles, WOW, so remarkable!" One of the commentators in the announce table said.

"He should be given credit for this. This is so nice of him!" Another commentator mused.

Well, Arnold was only focused on the two figures standing inside the ring. With a quick move, he entered the ring and moved to one of the ring corners.

Without a second wasted, the male referee ordered for the bell, and the match began.

This time, Rowan Pierce didn't dare to charge at Arnold again. Everyone safely stared at each other, waiting for who would strike first. Murmurs were already coming from different sides, but the three didn't pay them any attention.

Suddenly, Axel gestured to Rowan just as if they had a plan, and they quickly turned to Arnold's direction.

"OH OH OH, this is not going to be funny!" A commentator commented.

Arnold flinched. Although he was shocked, he expected as much. They had both become his enemies, so they would just have to finish him up and face themselves after.

Shockingly, Axel and Rowan charged at Max with a crazy speed. Arnold was just stuck at the ring corner and probably couldn't find a way to escape the attacks.

As the two came crashing on him... Well, what would he have done without his improved agility? With the blink of an eye, Arnold folded himself through a small space between the two men and escaped the attacks.

Both Axel and Rowan's eyes widened in awe. It was as if they had charged at a ghost. Turning to look at Arnold, due to his uncontrollable anger, Axel was the first to charge at Arnold again.

Arnold who was holding to the top rope in one of the corners quickly bent as though he was slipping, causing Axel to fall outside the ring from the top rope.

Raged, Rowan Pierce charged at Max with incredible speed, however, Max just did a great job of dodging their attacks. Using his Strength, Agility, and Attack Power, Arnold clotheslined Rowan out of the ring from the top rope, causing him to fall on Axel at the outside.

Cheers echoed everywhere...

However, Arnold wasn't done yet.

"Okay! I'm gonna do something really cool now," Arnold muttered with a serious look on his face.

Quickly, he ran towards the opposite rope facing the one he had stood. On reaching the ropes, he bounced his back on them and ran towards the previous rope.

When he was almost there, he suddenly jumped as though like a monkey, throwing himself at both Axel and Rowan outside.

"Huhuhu!!! Suicide Dive! A Suicide Dive! Max Fury is taking the lead at the very beginning of the match!"

There was an uproar in the arena after Arnold's move, and even Arnold couldn't help but smile.

Gasping for a while, he glanced at Axel and Rowan who were still lying in pain.

"ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR..."

The referee was already counting after they had spent quite a while outside. Axel and Rowan haven't even raised a hand much less a leg to stand.

Seeing that this might be an opportunity — they would be disqualified at the count of ten — Arnold quickly swung himself into the ring and waited for the countdown.

Who knows, this might just be another luck.
