NFW Trauma #47 - 08/14/2021!

The show opens as we see an abandoned warehouse; a familiar one that we’ve seen before. Lighting is flashing as thunder booms and we can see a lot of the windows are busted out and the building is truly beginning to fall apart. The lighting strikes just feet away from the camera and we see a shadowy figure that beckons the camera forward. We move in, going to the front door as it opens up on its own it seems. We go inside as a loud boom of thunder echoes around and the door slams shut. Inside, we hear bats beginning to scatter and the sounds of rats scattering out as well. Lighting flashes again and we see another shadowy figure up on the second floor.

Voice: Come and see what’s inside.

The camera walks through the warehouse and up the steps and towards where the shadowy figure was last seen as the lighting flashes once again and we see the figure standing down a hallway on the second floor.

Voice: This way!

The camera heads through the floor down into the hallway with a door. The figure is now seen standing right next to the door and it motions for the camera to come over. The camera follows as it approaches the door and it opens up and inside, we see Amy Connors, laying in a bed, motionless. The camera zooms in, and it can finally see that she’s still breathing, but the breaths are slow.

Voice: Don’t you worry, Miss Connors is just in a deep hibernation right now. Her body is exhausted and her mind is full of brand new information. Her transformation is coming along quite nicely. Lassindra, we know you have said you want to help Miss Connors, that you want to play the hero in this little story. Find us if you can, survive if you’re able, save her at your own risk.

The Lightning flashes once again as La Profita appears out of nowhere right in front of the camera and laughs as we see Santa Muerta standing over Amy and stroking her blonde hair with a smile on her face as La Profita backs the camera out of the room and slams the door shut as the scene fades out.
We cut backstage to find Captain Cosmo standing in the main hallway of the Collision Center.

Captain Cosmo: Ah yes! Hello, fans of the Wrestling of the New Frontier! Captain Cosmo here! The greatest Captain to travel the Cosmos! Protector of the Cosmic Pug and enemy to the Emu Federation! And joining Captain Cosmo behind the recording device is his good friend, Jeff! Say hello Jeff!

Jeff: Hello Jeff!

There’s a bit of a chuckle from behind the camera from Jeff as Cosmo rolls his eyes.

Captain Cosmo: Anyway! We are here at the very wonderful Collision Center! Home of the Wrestling of the New Frontier! It is quite the impressive building, wouldn’t you say so?!

Jeff nods his head in agreement as Cosmo then points up to the wall where we see some posters of some of the members of the Trauma roster.

Captain Cosmo: Look up here! Here we see some of the people who do the wrestling on the same brand Captain Cosmo is on! Let’s see who we have here…

He finds one of Marco Valintine and his jaw drops and eyes widen as he looks back into the camera.

Captain Cosmo: Here we see one of Captain Cosmo’s old friends, Marco Valintine! The man with many, many, many, many, many nicknames! Too many for Captain Cosmo to remember!

Continuing his search, he spots one of Griffin Hawkins.

Captain Cosmo: Oh! Look at this one?! This is the brand new Champion of Perseverance! The Hero of the Jukebox! Griffin Hawkins!

Jeff: Do you think he likes birds? Get it? Coz Griffin… Hawk…

Cosmo stares at Jeff with his eyebrow raised.

Captain Cosmo: What are you saying?! Captain Cosmo does not understand! You better not be insulting Captain Cosmo’s good friend, Griffin! Or else he will hit you with a Shot In The Dark! And you won’t see it coming! Because it will be in the dark of course!

Cosmo continues perusing and points to another one.

Captain Cosmo: Oh! Here we go! The former Champion of Perseverance! The Extraordinary Geekette, Cali-Kate! She is quite wonderful! And she’s all about that Bass!

He quickly turns to the camera, pointing directly into it.

Captain Cosmo: No Treble!

Looking further along the wall, he spots another person he’s intrigued about.

Captain Cosmo: Here’s the very wonderful Risa Jackson! The Wrestling Supernova! She has been quite welcoming to Captain Cosmo! I’m sure that when Captain Cosmo does the wrestling with her that it will be quite the sight to behold!

Cosmo spots someone else and points.

Captain Cosmo: Oooo! It’s the brand new Champion of the Undisputed! Radio frequency broadcast Young!

Jeff: Isn’t it FM Young?

Captain Cosmo: That’s what Captain Cosmo just said! But yes! She is quite the force to be reckoned with here in the Wrestling of the New Frontier! Did you know she calls herself the One Woman Army?!

Jeff: I did not know that.

Captain Cosmo: It is true! She managed to dethrone the scary King of Demons, Anton Crowley!

Jeff: Doesn’t he kinda look like you? With the white and black face paint?

Cosmo looks back at Jeff with a stunned expression on his face.

Captain Cosmo: Do not say that!

Cosmo shrugs.

Captain Cosmo: Well, it was nice knowing you Jeff! You shall now most likely be sacrificed by the King of Demons for besmirching his name!

Cosmo goes back to looking at the wall and points out another wrestler.

Captain Cosmo: Here we see the former Champion of the United States! The Superstar of the Universe! Anaquin Adams! She has green hair!

Jeff: I see that.

Captain Cosmo: She is quite the competitor! She went undefeated until she was defeated by the One who is Unbreakable, Stacy Jones! Who we can see right here!

Cosmo points to a poster of Jones.

Captain Cosmo: Her favorite movie is The King of Lions! It is a good movie! Go watch it! Not the live action remake though! They didn’t even use real lions in it!

Jeff: Well, they couldn’t really… lions are wild animals…

Captain Cosmo: Then they should not have called it live action!

Cosmo shrugs his shoulders.

Captain Cosmo: Well, there you have it, fans of the Wrestling of the New Frontier! Some of the people who do the wrestling that Captain Cosmo could very well step into the ring with in the near future now that he is here! Please like, share, subscribe… all that weird stuff you human’s do on the Tube of You!

Jeff: Uhhh… Cap? This isn’t a YouTube video.

Captain Cosmo: It isn’t?!

Jeff: No. You have a match up next and you were supposed to talk about that.

Cosmo throws up his arms in annoyance.

Captain Cosmo: Why didn’t you tell Captain Cosmo this?!

He shakes his head.

Captain Cosmo: Who is Captain Cosmo facing again?!

Jeff: The Soz.

Captain Cosmo: Well… The Soz! Captain Cosmo hopes you are prepared to step into the ring with the greatest Captain to ever travel the Cosmos! Or something like that! Anyway! DON’T TRUST EMUS!!!

Cosmo then points as angrily as possible, which isn’t angrily at all, at the camera before we cut elsewhere.

Captain Cosmo vs The Soz

Opening the show was The Soz versus none other than the newly signed Captain Cosmo! The two went at it as soon the bell sounded for the match to get underway. Captain Cosmo began asking Soz if he had seen the Cosmic Pug, causing Soz to look at him like he had multiple heads on his shoulders. When his opponent ignored his question, Captain Cosmo got upset at the lack of understanding the importance of finding the Cosmic Pug which led him to hitting Soz with an immediate and rough suplex. He didn’t give Soz a chance to get up on his own, and once he had his opponent up, Cosmo whipped Soz into the ropes across the ring from the pair. When he came back towards him, Cosmo nailed him with a hard clothesline, sending him crashing back down to the mat again. When Soz got to his feet and ran at Cosmo, the intergalactic man hit the other with another clothesline, sending him right back down to the mat yet again. Captain Cosmo moved around the ring and waited for Soz to get on his feet yet again. Once he was up, Cosmo nailed him square in the chin with a Cosmo Kick! Captain Cosmos pulled Soz up to his feet again, noting that the other man was a bit wobbly on his feet now, but he quickly hit him with a kick in the stomach then nailed him with DON’T TRUST EMUS! When Soz was flat on the mat, Captain Cosmo covered him, and the referee slid down to the mat.

3....!!!

Thea Crawford: Here is your winner by pinfall....Captain Cosmo!!!

Andrew Payne: Welcome to New Frontier Wrestling, Captain Cosmo!

Miranda Augustino: That is a weeeeeird motherfucker, Andy!

We cut to the backstage area as the camera man is showing some of the boxes and other stuff left around as spare stuff for the Trauma set and suddenly out of nowhere, Marco Valintine is seen using it as a makeshift parkour set swinging into shot from one of the bars of the stage frame.

Marco Valintine: Well look who we got here, you all caught me in the middle of my warm ups for my match tonight. Yes people, Mr NsFW is back on Trauma and I can not be more happy to be able to get back into that ring to entertain you amazing people.

Marco takes a breath and hops on the spot a little.

Marco Valintine: Now onto Jenn Drew, babe it's all well and good being confident, I for one love a chick who can fight... it's pretty hot, but I gotta say I hope you ain’t looking past someone like me. I go all out in everything I do and I hope you do the same because this match is gonna be no fun if ya don't.

Marco turns around and swings on the bar raising his body up so his knees drape the bar making him hang upside down.

Marco Valintine: Hey don't get me wrong babe, I respect you are a former champ and that's great... but ya ain't faced someone like me before because there is only one Marco Valintine in this world and baby? I don't wanna brag but I am one of a kind. So when we step into the ring together, let's have fun and make sure we leave people talking. What do ya say? Because I for one know it's gonna be a Hell of a thrill ride.

Marco grabs the bar with his hand pulling him up so he is sitting on the bar before looking back over at the camera.

Marco Valintine: For now I'll have to ask you to excuse me, I got a friend in need.

Marco looks around the area he's been warming up in.

Marco Valintine: HEY CAP?! THERE IS NO SIGN OF HIM HERE!

The camera pans around to find Captain Cosmo looking up from some boxes he was rummaging through before he raises his arms up in annoyance before walking away. The camera then shifts back to Marco before he continues with his parkour as we cut elsewhere.
The scene opens up in the hallway staring at a blue unmarked door. The person behind the camera's hand reaches out to push their way in. Once inside, we see the sight of ISIS and Kaede sitting on blue steel chairs facing each other. Before any audio can transmit what they might be saying, Isis swings her attention to the person holding the camera. She shoots a deadly glare.

ISIS: “Excuse you! Did your mother teach you any manners?”

Isis shoots out the chair. The camera person slowly starts to back away. Resting her hands on her hips, ISIS shouts.

ISIS: “Next time, knock. Having a little common courtesy shouldn’t be that hard. You know what, don’t go anywhere. I do have something to say.

ISIS takes a deep breath to calm herself down enough to launch into what is on her mind.

ISIS: This is possibly the last time you’re going to see me wrestle until god knows when. The Vlad Memorial is around the corner; I should focus on leaving all future victims of mine with doomsday images to ponder when we resume back to normal. There is a lot of talk about legacies, and who is the baddest woman on the planet, the most dangerous, etc, etc, etc. Might as well throw my name into the running. In case you missed it, I beat Mister J so bad he hasn’t been seen backstage since. Not a peep from him. No videos. No tweets. Nada. If I can force The Shield of The Hive to be too afraid to show his face, shouldn’t I be at the top of the list of baddest women on the planet? Scratch that. One of the baddest people on the planet, man or woman.”

ISIS smirks.

ISIS: “Someone else who shouldn’t show their face is Diamond Steel.”


Isis rolls her eyes.

ISIS: Come on, seriously, Diamond Steele is supposed to stand a chance against me? Bitch please! She has a 0% chance of winning. I might be nice enough to give Diamond one percent hope. Llets not lie to ourselves. Any educated fool knows what is going to happen. Not going to pretend to be nice, shower Diamond with fake praise, leading all of you people to actually think I believe this woman is a threat to me. She isn’t.

ISIS looks over her shoulder.

ISIS: “We’ll pick up this conversation later without the nosy wanting to pry.

Kaede Tanabe: Absolutely, dear.

Kaede nods at ISIS. The Utopian Female turns around, storms past the camera man. Kaede stands up and does the same, stopping right in front of the camera and looking past it, at the cameraman himself.

Kaede Tanabe: And you! Brainless!

She lifts her arm, audibly tapping the man in the forehead before she turns away, leaving the cameraman to think about what he’s done as the scene fades to black.

ISIS vs Diamond Steele

~DING DING DING~

The ladies lock up in the middle of the ring and that is a big mistake for Diamond Steele as Isis just shoves her backward and then runs right through her with a shoulder tackle. Isis is enjoying her substantial size advantage as she brings Diamond up to her feet and powers her up for a vertical suplex. Isis takes a little time to show off, holding Diamond and flexing before she drops Diamond down, covers, and gets a 2 count. Isis pulls Diamond up once more and this time she raises her up into the Military press. Isis starts walking around a little, the crowd appreciating the show of strength, right up until Diamond Steele slips off, lands with her feet on the rope, and leaps forward to catch Isis with a tornado DDT. Isis is spiked and staggered leading to a big spinning heel kick, a quick springboard leg drop, and a two count. Diamond has Isis a bit rocked, ducks a clothesline, hits a big Pele kick, and then follows up with a big float over DDT, getting a little extra air and spiking Isis once again. Diamond Steele gets to the cover

TWO…

THR - KICK OUT!

It appears Kaede Tanabe has taken a keen interest in this match, watching from the stage as ISIS is able to kick out and quickly roll to the outside. Diamond is fired up, hits the ropes, goes flying towards the other side of the ring, and absolutely leveled by a forearm. Diamond is hanging on the middle rope as Isis slides back inside, pulls her away from the ropes, and delivers a big German suplex. Isis rolls through with the waistlock still applied, powers Diamond up for suplex two and then a third and the bridge for an incredibly close two count. Isis takes a few seconds to shake the cobwebs from earlier, then pulls Diamond up, delivers a cobra clutch slam, and a quick standing moonsault for another 2 count. Isis pulls Diamond up and looks for that vicious Saito suplex, but Diamond manages to counter it, shoves Isis off the ropes, and looks for the single knee facebreaker, but Isis blocks and turns it into a big exploder suplex. Diamond is a bit loopy as she gets up and turns around into a discus lariat. Isis hits the Leg hook Saito suplex and goes right into the pin

TWO…

THRE - KICK OUT!

Isis stares Desiree down for a few seconds, then shakes her head, brings Diamond up, and puts her right back on the mat with a scoop slam. Isis again takes a little time to show off, flexing and giving the fans a treat before she runs to the ropes, springboards up to the middle, flies through the air with a moonsault, and lands on the knees of Diamond Steele. Diamond Steele takes the brief advantage to lay in several quick kicks to the midsection and arms of Isis before she delivers a quick basement roundhouse that rocks the Utopian Female a bit and opens her up for a shining wizard and a two count. Diamond is a little hurt and breathing deep, but she stays on the offensive with a springboard crossbody. Diamond rolls off pops to her feet and she hits the middle rope moonsault to get another close two count. Isis moves to the corner, but Diamond is waiting for her and catches her with a big charging Yakuza kick. Isis is staggered and stumbling right up until she’s hit with a float-over neckbreaker. Diamond isn’t quite finished after the signature move, deciding to do a little more damage with a moonsault. Diamond lands it perfect, but it’s a hard landing and she has to take a second to catch her breath before she covers

TWO…

THRE - KICK OUT!

Diamond rolls back into the corner and uses the time to get her breath back after the damage that was done by The Utopian Female. The Diamond In The Rough wasn’t done yet though and she was up as Isis was getting to her feet. Diamond hits a big running dropkick and again looks for the single knee facebreaker, but Isis shoves her off, hits a quick running forearm, then delivers a single knee gutbuster and a big ax kick. Isis covers and gets a 2 count. Isis is back, but still a little fuzzy. Isis hits a quick elbow drop to keep Diamond down, then takes a few seconds to recover. Diamond is in the corner and now it’s Isis’ turn to make her pay for that as she hits a running European uppercut, then a big corner splash before connecting with a facewash. Isis covers and looks to have it, but Diamond gets her foot on the rope after 2. Isis hits a release German suplex to take Diamond away from the corner, then waits to strike. Diamond is up, holding the back of her head when it’s nearly taken off thanks to a bicycle kick from Isis. The Utopian Female wants the decisive victory and gives Diamond a not so warm Welcome to Dystopia before covering her right in the middle of the ring

TWO…

THREE!

~DING DING DING~

Thea Crawford: Your winner as a result of a pinfall, The Utopian Female… ISIS!

Miranda Augustino: That was impressive. Isis makes absolutely sure she gets the job done. Diamond was able to use her speed and that technical skill, but

Andrew Payne: Isis has the size and strength advantage, she’s very quick herself and she’s an incredible athlete.

Miranda Augustino: She got a little cocky a few times and it costs heer, but when you look like her, it’s hard not to be cocky. Her taste in men still sucks as well.

Result: Via Pinfall

NFW Trauma was off to a fun and wild start as Minoru Tanahashi strolls through the hallways of the Collision Center. No match for him this week, but some things he was definitely interested in, which appears to include a conversation with Trauma General Manager Isabella Santiago as he makes his way to her office, looks down and gives a quick pat down to his simple light grey shirt and Black Lion Bomb T-shirt before he adjusts his Team Trauma hat and gives a knock on the door.

Minoru Tanahashi: Hola Miss Santiago. It’s your second favorite Tanahashi Twin.

Isabella looks up from her computer as she notices Minoru standing there and chuckles at his attempt at a joke before she stands up.

Isabella Santiago: Mister Tanahashi, to what do I owe the pleasure?

Minoru Tanahashi: Well my girlfriend may get mad at me if I give you.

He stops himself, chuckles a little, and waves it off.

Minoru Tanahashi: I don’t want to waste your time miss Santiago. I was wondering if I could ask a small favor. I stepped in last week for that tag team match instead of enjoying another week off to recover, so I was kind of thinking you could pay me back a little for it and give me a match next week on Trauma.

Isabella stands there for a moment, thinking as she nods her head.

Isabella Santiago: You've got it. Was there anyone you had in mind?

Minoru Tanahashi: Well see that’s the thing. I want a match that I know will be straight-up one on one. No tag partners, stablemates, boyfriends, girlfriends, wives, husbands, family members, or bitter enemies getting involved. I want to face someone that has pushed me time and time again. Someone I have had success against, and that’s going to take a call to Luther Callaway.

Minoru knew that one was a pretty big ask, looking away from Isabella Santago and nervously rubbing the back of his neck as he mentioned that last part.

Isabella Santiago: I think I know exactly who you're talking about and I'm quite sure we can make that work. Don't you worry, I'll take care of the rest.

Isabella smiled and held a hand out to Minoru for a handshake. Minoru smiled and accepted the handshake.

Isabella Santiago: And if anyone gets involved, I'll suspend them for two months without pay.

That brought an even bigger smile and he continued to shake her hand for far too long before finally letting go.

Minoru Tanahashi: That is why you are everyone’s favorite general manager. Get things done, laying down the law. I really appreciate it, Miss Santago. I’ll let you get back to running the show. I think I need to go congratulate my girlfriend on her win and see how she wants to celebrate.

Minoru smiles again and heads out, looking very happy as he’s secured what could be a big marquee match for Trauma, as well as a chance to test himself before the start of the Vlad Blackheart Memorial Tournament.

Jenn Drew vs Marco Valintine

The match begins with Marco Valintine attempting to charm Jenn Drew with his good looks and natural charisma. However, Jenn isn’t having any of it, driving her forearm into Marco’s face. Shot after shot she makes contact with his face before she attempts to Irish whip him. Marco reverses and sends her towards the ropes instead, looking for a clothesline, but she ducks underneath his arm. She comes back with a handspring elbow right to his temple. Marco staggers back, but he’s able to catch Jenn with a double-leg takedown. He delivers a couple of rights and lefts to Jenn before she kicks him off. Getting to her feet after him, however, she’s caught off guard by Marco’s capoeira kick that knocks her off her feet. He follows up with his signature Standing Twisting Shooting Star Press and goes for the cover, but she kicks out!

Referee Ashley Campbell watches Valintine play to the fans, rallying them behind him. He ascends one of the corners of the ring, all the while Drew is getting to her feet. Valentine goes for a high-risk move, but when Drew moves out of the way, he lands on his feet. Only he’s met with a satellite DDT out of nowhere! Drew gathers herself and climbs one of the turnbuckles, stalking her prey from afar. Once Valintine slowly gets onto his feet, she nails him with her signature Missile Dropkick and sends him crashing to the outside! Valintine leans against the barricade where a few female fans are trying to cheer him on. Meanwhile, Drew’s back to her feet and she wastes no time, coming after Valintine with her signature Tope Suicida!

As the referee begins her official count, Drew and Valintine are a little slow to get up. Jenn is up on her feet after a few seconds and she drags Marco to his feet. After she rolls him into the ring, she climbs back in to stop the count at “eight!” and covers Marco, hooking the leg, but he kicks out at two! Slight frustration reveals itself on her facial features, but she presses on, stomping on Marco when she’s up on her feet. After a moment, Jenn forces him to his feet and drops him with an enzuigiri. She goes for the cover, but once again he kicks out!

Gritting her teeth, Jenn rises up -- and suddenly, "Funeral For Yesterday" by Kittie plays from the PA system. Shortly after, Lana Corvin makes her appearance much to the surprise of the fans and the commentators. While Marco is gathering himself, Jenn glares at the young woman and dares her to come down. Lana retorts with middle fingers raised in the air. Before Jenn can react, Marco captures her in his signature Snap Dragon Suplex! The fans begin to cheer him on as he ascends one of the corners of the ring. With Jenn down, Marco’s able to hit “Head Over Heels” (Double Rotation Moonsault) and score the three count!



Thea Crawford: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner of the match… MARCO VALINTINE!

Andrew Payne: Well then! Marco Valintine with the upset win, folks!

Miranda Augustino: This is awful, Andy! Jenn Drew was distracted by Lana Corvin!

While Corvin’s theme is replaced by “Supersonic Sex Machine” by Steel Panther, Valintine rises to his feet and gladly allows Campbell to raise his arm in victory. He then surprises Campbell with a dip and a sweet little kiss -- much to the squealing of the fangirls in the crowd! Drew rolls her way out of the ring slowly and groans in frustration. Corvin’s satisfied with the result and she heads backstage with a smirk.

Andrew Payne: Distraction or no, Miss Drew should have focused on Mr. Valintine. It’s only natural.

Miranda Augustino: Ayyy Dios mio, que feo! Cut to commercials already!

We open up backstage where we see a clearly angry Jenn Drew storming down the hallway as she notices the camera ahead of her. She comes up to it and she is seething as she shakes her head before she begins to laugh.

Jenn Drew: Lana Corvin, you want to play games now, huh? You want to really play this game with one of the best to do it? Trust me kid, I have no problem playing this game of one upsmanship with you. Trust me when I tell you this, Lana, tonight, this isn’t over just yet. I hope you’re ready for the games to begin, because I play for keeps.

Jenn grins as she blows a kiss to the camera and walks off as the scene fades out.
In the ring, we see Reginald Jefferson the 3rd in the ring to introduce his tag partner for the match.

Reginald Jefferson the 3rd "Ladies and Gentlemen… for your auditory pleasure. Vesti la guibba, from Pagliacci."

The crowd would have a bit of a confused expression as the lights go off and a lone spotlight is put on the center stage, as Frederick Williams makes his way down the ramp in a clowns outfit to sing from the famous opera.

Frederick Williams, Esquire
"Vesti la giubba e la faccia infarina
La gente paga, e rider vuole qua
E se Arlecchin t'invola Colombina
Ridi, Pagliaccio, e ognun applaudirà…"

He would sing, before entering to the ring with some mixed reactions, before going completely to boos as he was interrupted by the Tomahawk Chop, as DJ from the ATL makes his way down to the ring to chastise them both.

DJ From ATL: "What the hell is this?! It's bad enough I gotta drag myself off my show to face these untalented Italian bimbos, and now this?! I didn't sign up for PBS! What's wrong with you?! These people want wrestling! They need the voice of the YWC!"

As DJ was on his rant, we hear the opening of "Fast Life" begin to play, as the Mancini Syndicate make their way to the ring in full, as Viola is the first to speak on behalf of them.

Viola Mancini "At first, I thought the most insulting thing I would hear tonight is this Kermit the Frog sounding man butchering Pagliacci…"

She said, as there was a bit of a pop for that roast, and continued.

Viola Mancini "Then, I hear this walrus looking intelligent opening his mouth, and I'm just thinking to myself how hard does he need to be hit for his jaw to be wired shut?"

She said with a threat that gets another pop from the crowd, while Camila gets out a little black notebook on some of his comments from DJ's past blog.

Camila Morricone "He said something along the lines of Oh great, more eye candy instead of getting John Blade a contract… First off… who? And second part, why?"

She asked, before passing it off to Isabella, who follows suit.

Isabella Terrano "And Terrano, who looks like her tits are bigger than her brains… you must be pretty brave to talk so much trash behind a keyboard. But, yes. They are big, and they are spectacular."

She said with a smarmy tone, as Camila and Isabella would play rock, paper, scissors to see who gets to thump on these losers first, as Isabella wins out.

Viola Mancini "You girls have fun… send these people a message."

She said, standing on the apron, as the opening bell sounded for the actual match, as Frederick started for his group.

The Mancini Syndicate vs DJ From ATL & Drama Club

Isabella and Frederick tied up, as he goes for a wrist lock on her, however, she reversed the move back onto him quickly after ducking down and kipping up, before sweeping his legs out from underneath him and then quickly snapping on a single leg Boston Crab. She would then slam his knee into the canvas, before transitioning to a grounded headlock and moving him upwards. She tagged in Camila, as Isabella moved him down into a seated position with a snapmare, as Morricone leveled him with a running boot to the face.

Miranda Augustino "Well, that's gonna save him some time getting that makeup off…”

Andrew Payne "You could hear that kick from the cheap seats!"

She would get Frederick in an abdominal stretch, looking to wear him down, as she sneaks in some elbow shots to his ribcage, before grabbing his hair for a backbreaker, as she failed to realize he was wearing a wig for his performance. Frederick lunged over to tag in Reginald, but, DJ blind tagged himself in as RJIII entered the ring. They would then argue, as Camila looked very confused on the opposite end of the ring. "I'm gonna show you theater chumps what real wrestling is like!" He shouted at them, before both members of Drama Club slap him and exit the ring, taking a bow as they do so.

Miranda Augustino "He is dumber than he looks…"

Andrew Payne "It couldn't happen to a better guy, to be honest. DJ has repulsed his teammates so much, they left him alone out there."

As they were annoyed by him the most, Camila rushed at DJ, hitting him with a running chop block into his shin, as he propelled over her and clutched his leg from the vicious attack. She would stomp at him, before dragging her victim over and tagging in Isabella, who climbs the top rope whilst Camila gets him in an electric chair position. Isabella clutched him and leaps off with a somersault cutter while Camila brought him forward with an electric chair facebuster, as DJ looked absolutely lifeless.

Miranda Augustino "Now that's a real kiss of death right there."

She said, as Isabella would cover him and let the referee count, as they get the easy 3.

Thea Crawford: Here are your winners, by pinfall, The Mancini Syndicate!

"Fast Life" would play again, as Viola looked over his body and instructed her girls to hit him again.

Andrew Payne "There's no need for that, now!"

Andrew shouted, as an attempt to be impartial. Camila would light up a cigar she had tucked away in her gear, and take a drag from it, before pressing the burning tobacco into his forehead as DJ from the ATL wailed in pain. Isabella then lifted him up for an elevated flapjack and DDT combo with Camila, putting an extra exclamation point on their victory, while Viola nodded in approval.

Miranda Augustino "Like a real boss, Viola didn't even go to get her hands dirty with this trash. I really like her style!"

Andrew Payne "Well, like it or not, they look to be a very imposing threat on the roster… have mercy on whoever gets in their crosshairs."

Payne said, as the three of them made their way to the back, celebrating their brief victory and smirking over their dominance over the poor sods that got in their way.

“Helix” by Amaranthe hits the loud speakers and FM young walks out from behind the curtain. The Tiger takes her time walking down the ramp, soaking in the reception from the crowd as she shows off the new design of the NFW Undisputed title. The belt itself is a big platinum style belt with all new blue lining and including Trauma branding. The Undisputed Champion walks down the ramp and hops into the ring, collecting a mic and leaning on the ring ropes prominently displaying the new Championship.

FM Young: They let me help redesign the belt. Granted, they also would have let me have a custom Championship, but in the end I declined. Because this reign isn’t about me, it’s about NFW and the faith they placed in me. I realize part of my reception among the roster is being an outsider, just thrust into the title scene. I get it. NFW knew what I could do, and they’ve trusted me to carry their Undisputed Championship, so this new belt reflects them, and the Trauma brand. As it should.

Young waits, leaning on the ring ropes to various cheers. People love Trauma and New Frontier Wrestling, so big pops all around.

FM Young: I’m also not against them wanting to keep me safe by not letting me jump back into the ring too soon. But man, am I getting itchy! I want a fight, and I want to put this belt on the line as much as possible. Trauma has some of the NFW’s best people on their roster, some of the world’s best wrestlers. I’d fight them all, win or lose, I just want the fight. I hold this Championship not because it’s a status symbol, I’m not a king, or a ruler, or some deity of NFW. It certainly is a status symbol that’s true, but that’s because people want it. I want to fight them, the belt brings the fights to you. So if anyone in NFW wants to step up, I’m inviting you to do exactly that.

“Kingslayer” from Bring Me The Horizon featuring Babymetal begins to play across the Collision Center and for the first time since Sudden Death II, “The Universal Superstar” Anaquin Adams steps onto the Trauma stage as the fans pop loudly. She pauses and feeds off the crowd for a moment before she heads towards the ring. She’s not dressed to wrestle, wearing a t-shirt and jeans, along with her leather jacket. She climbs into the ring and gets face to face with the new Undisputed Champion.

FM Young: Damn, I was really hoping it would be you. The woman who owned the United States Championship, the unstoppable Anaquin. I’m down for it! You may be coming off losing your title and to me that doesn’t matter. It puts you right where I want you, in my path. Let’s do this! Let’s do it now!

Anaquin Adams: The great FM Young is your new Undisputed Champion. She slayed the demon king. It’s correct that I lost the United States Championship to the worthy Stacy Jones, but that only drives me to improve. It drives me to be better. It drives me for more.

Anaquin’s gaze falls from the face of Young to the Undisputed Championship. The crowd starts in, loving this interaction, with *DO IT DO IT DO IT* chants. They seriously want to see this fight between two apex competitors of Trauma. Nothing happens though, no ref comes out, no music changes or lights going up. Young waves her hand to quiet the crowd after a moment.

FM Young: Oh well, it’s not to be. You name the time and place.

Anaquin Adams: As soon as Isabella Santiago will put pen to paper, let’s give the Collision Center the match of a lifetime. No, not a match. A fight. You and I are fighters. So, let’s fight for the Undisputed Championship. And when we do, I will redeem my loss to Stacy Jones by becoming the Undisputed Champion.

FM Young: Right. She’s gotta make it official, alright come on Issy don’t let me and the fans down. I mean, I plan on keeping my title right where it is but I suppose that’s the best part. I’m gonna have to prove that, and you’re gonna make me prove it. I expect a fight that will become an instant classic around these parts. Hell, I’ll shake your hand if you win.

Anaquin Adams takes a step back and it almost looks like she’ll shake FM’s hand, but instead, she turns and walks to the corner and exits the ring and heads up the aisle as FM’s music hits again and the fans continue to talk about the possibility of FM vs. Anaquin for the Undisputed Championship.
We come to the ‘gorilla’ position backstage. Lana Corvin is standing there double checking that her gear is secure and fitting comfortably. She notices the camera and grins.

Lana Corvin: Well, Jenn, I hope you learned your lesson tonight. Focus on the task at hand. Don’t get distracted. You couldn’t do that and it cost you. Think twice next time, before crossing me.

Lana scoffs.

Lana Corvin: I get that you want to try and make something of yourself off of my family name. You can try if you want. But that ain’t how it’s gonna go down. You’ll try and I do what us Corvin’s do best.

The second generation star smirks.

Lana Corvin: Prove that we are the best that you have ever seen. Just like I will do to Brea here in a few minutes. More worried about social media and her status there than actually in the ring. That’s fine. Just do me a favor, Brea. When your layin there listening to me being announced as the winner, remember one thing.

Lana adjusts her entrance coat.

Lana Corvin: It ain’t luck.

She gives the camera and little wink as her music starts up and she walks through the curtain.

Lana Corvin vs Brea Lombardi

The bell sounds and immediately, Lana goes on the attack. She drives Brea back into the corner and lays in shoulders to the midsection before she delivers a running high knee to Brea in the corner. And pulls her out and into a tornado DDT. Lana goes for a quick cover, but Brea manages to kick out at two. Lana grabs Brea and brings her to her feet. Lana sends Brea into the ropes and when Brea rebounds, Lana delivers a discus forearm before hitting Brea with Hecate’s Dagger and going for another cover and again, only managing a two count. Lana drags Brea to the corner and she goes for a shooting star press, but Brea manages to get her knees up and drive them into the midsection of Lana. Brea grabs Lana up and pulls her up to her feet and delivers a neckbreaker. Brea sits Lana up and hits the ropes as she delivers a Powerslide lariat before going for a cover, but Lana kicks out at two.

Brea climbs up to the top rope and waits for Lana to make it up to her feet. Once Lana is up, Brea launches herself and delivers a flying crossbody before grabbing Lana and delivering a vertical suplex and floating over into a pin, but Lana kicks out at two. Brea once again climbs to the top rope and she goes for Mosh-Room Stomp, but Lana rolls out of the way and Brea rolls through, but as she turns around, Lana brings her to her shoulders and delivers a double knee gutbuster. Lana then grabs Brea and drags her to the corner before delivering Goddess' Favor and going for a cover, but Brea manages to get a foot on the bottom rope. Lana looks frustrated, but she grabs Brea and has her in position to deliver The Glorifier, but as she does, Jenn Drew hops the barricade and gets up onto the apron and begins taunting Lana as Jenn spits at her. This draws the ire of Lana as she releases Brea and goes after Jenn who hops down off the apron and as Lana turns around, Brea delivers Symphony of Destruction and hooks the leg and picks up the win.

Thea Crawford: Here is your winner, Brea Lombardi!

Andrew Payne: Lana had this match won, but Jenn Drew showed blatant disrespect by spitting at her and that cost her tonight.

Miranda Augustino: Lana cost Jenn earlier tonight, so turnabout is fair play, Andy!

The scene starts with Ana Evans standing in front of a mural that says "Full of Heart" on it. She's wearing her signature leather jacket and snapback hat. She looks fired up, and begins pacing back and forth.

Ana Evans: You know, ever since I started my career in the indies, I promised myself that I would give it everything I got whenever I stepped foot into a wrestling ring. I promised myself that I would make my presence felt wherever I go. I kept that mentality when I debuted here as well. My career here in NFW thus far has been somewhat decent. When I got my second singles win last week against Trixie Decker, it felt great. It helped me get my momentum going again

She stops pacing and pauses for a moment, then lets out a small chuckle.

Ana Evans: Now that I'm starting to get my momentum going again, I want to keep that momentum going. Next week, I want a fight. I don't care who I'm up against. I want to fight and continue to show what I'm capable of. Like I said earlier, I want to make my presence felt. When I say that I'm "Full of Heart", I'm saying that I don't back down from any fights and I fight hard. With all of this being said, I'll be here next week. And I'll be ready to fight.

The scene fades to black as Ana has a determined look on her face.
