Battle of Centra

- Fight for Essence -
For the first time in six months the Palladium will host a wrestling event. Not just any event but the first in the newly crowned aCe! The first event will determine the aCe Heavyweight champion. The Palladium was done up in its normal splendor, the place that once housed plays and concerts, now the home of blood and sweat. Banners of hometown heroes Aegis and Lance At-Las hung, even one for Meteor out of respect. The Centra Prime crowd was excited yet nervous at the possibilities ahead.

- The title appears -
The title is seen for the first time. A huge title (think Big Gold Belt) that glows a radiant emerald green. The aCe logo is in the center with various stones surrounding. The title shines bright then dims low, almost as if it's breathing. All four corners of the dimension are represented, each planet getting a side plate.
