NFW Presents: WRESTLE WAR XVIII - Night 1! 12/21/2021!

Diyosa and Page seem to both know that they’re kicking off Wrestle War, and accordingly, both seem determined to win this and start moving back up the card. Diyosa rushes in but Page ducks her, quick and smart as a whip that doesn’t stop Diyosa who simply darts around behind Page to hit a backstabber that sends Vanessa flopping to the ground. Page rolls out of the ring to create some separation, but Diyosa follows her with a suicide dive! Vanessa Page gets flattened before she can get the distance she wants, and Diyosa gets her up ramming her into the ring post and steel steps. With the Official starting the count they don’t see Page reach up and get in an eye gouge that gets them the upper hand. Its Page turns to take Malaya on an all-head bonk tour of ringside. The Official gets to the count of eight before Page rolls Diyosa back into the ring. Page goes for a cover and gets a one count before Diyosa is kicking out with authority!

Page screams and pulls her hair, obviously not liking the fact that Malaya kicked out. Malaya picks up her momentum like a house on fire, hitting a double knee arm breaker and then following it up with an arm drag, intent on doing even more damage to Vanessa’s arm. Before Malay can further press her advantage Page gets her foot up, stopping Diyosa’s roll as Malaya tries to charge in for a corner splash. She eats Page’s boot, and Page this time comes in with a spinning backbreaker trying to keep Malaya down. Malaya fights back and the pair trade blows, with Page flinching and attempting to dodge Diyosa’s strikes, rather than focusing on not striking back. Page just does not want to get hit in the face, which is sensible although the current occupation she’s chosen might not be. Still Vanessa manages a stiff couple of kicks that allow her to bring Diyosa in for a suplex. After the suplex, Page pushes her luck further and getting Diyosa up landing her back on the mat with a Mic Drop (Brainbuster.)

Page covers and gets a two count off the move! But Diyosa won’t die and kicks out, hard enough it lifts Page off of her. Page rails and hits an axe kick as Diyosa is getting to her feet! It doesn’t keep Malaya down though. Who comes back like nothing else, determined to get the win on the biggest stage of New Frontier. Malaya battered Page around the ring, with Page again mostly avoiding and ducking. Malaya catches Page again reeling her in for Diyosa’s hip-toss that leads into a vicious thruster kick! Page gets knocked for an almost literal loop! Diyosa fist pumps for the crowd who pop for her! Malaya hypes the crowd a bit more before running in as Page gets to her feet. Malaya hits an earth-shattering Rude Buster (Lightning Spiral)! Malaya rolls Vanessa into a pinfall cover for the three count!

The bell sounds and almost immediately, Ringmistress is up on the apron, holding a brightly colored costume in her hands as she points at Casey and begins to taunt her. Casey turns her attention to Ringmistress and this gives Ringmaster the opening to drill Casey from behind with a discus forearm shot that drops Casey to her knees. Ringmaster immediately takes Casey to the ropes and drives his knee into the back of Casey’s head and chokes her on the middle rope. Ringmaster breaks at four and as he has the referee distracted, Ringmistress grabs Casey and chokes her on the rope just a little more before slapping Casey in the face and giggling. Ringmaster pulls Casey to her feet and onto his shoulders before he delivers a gutbuster to Casey and goes for a cover, only managing a two count. Ringmaster picks Casey back up and sends her into the corner. Ringmaster charges in and goes for a running knee strike in the corner, but Casey rolls out of the way and Ringmaster’s knee collides with the turnbuckle.

Casey immediately delivers a chop block to the knee of Ringmaster that collided with the turnbuckle before she delivers a DDT type move on it. She continues to work on the knee of Ringmaster who is trying to get Casey off of him, but she has a look of hyper focus and determination right now as she dissects the knee of her opponent. She eventually locks in a figure four as Ringmaster struggles. He fights and fights, holding on before he can finally roll onto his stomach and reverse the pressure of the hold. Casey reaches out and grabs the ropes and that forces the break. Both competitors get to their feet and they meet in the middle of the ring and Ringmaster goes for a forearm, but Casey ducks and she delivers a rolling forearm of her own before following it up with a single knee facebuster and then delivering a snap DDT and going for a jackknife pin and gets a two count.

Casey gets up to her feet and she pulls Ringmaster up and goes to send him into the ropes. Ringmaster reverses and as Casey hits the ropes, Ringmistress attempts to trip Casey up and that grabs her attention. Casey turns around and she slides out of the ring as Ringmistress starts sprinting around the ring. She finds Miranda and she immediately goes behind the commentator and uses her like a shield because she knows that if Casey puts a hand on Miranda, she’s subject to a fine and possible suspension. As Casey is yelling at Ringmistress, Ringmaster blasts her from behind and slams her head a few times against the announce table. He then picks Casey up and delivers a powerbomb right onto the ring apron before he picks Casey up and rolls her into the ring. He slides back in and picks Casey up and delivers a brainbuster before going for a pin, but Casey manages to roll her shoulder up just before the count of three.

Ringmaster growls as Mister Gigglesworth now appears from underneath the ring and hops up onto the ring apron and distracts the ref as Ringmaster grabs Casey and holds her arms behind her as Ringmistress has his cane and is up on the apron as well. Ringmistress goes to swing the cane, but Casey breaks free at the last possible second and the cane strikes Ringmaster square in the face, staggering him. Casey delivers a low dropkick to Ringmistress causing her to bounce face first off the ring apron before she turns her attention to Ringmaster and she delivers Stock Plunge to him and hooks the leg and picks up the win.

Jenn Drew and Rowena Byrne start out and the match quickly starts to look like it’ll be a battle between the First Class Bitches and the Caedes. A tag is made to Lana and Jenn breaks loose and starts wailing on all three of the Corvin Dynasty members. She makes the tag to Isis and the large Amazon woman starts throwing Lana and Rowena around like rag dolls. She takes Lana to suplex city and then takes Rowena there as well. Daniel finally comes in to stop the barrage. Jenn and Masami come in and all six are fighting in matched pairs, Daniel with Isis, Jenn with Lana and Masami with Rowena. Isis backdrops Daniel over the top to the floor. Masami tackles Rowena through the ropes to the floor and Lana sends Jenn over a well. Lana and Isis come to meet in the middle of the ring. Isis looks to clock the smaller woman but Lana catches her arms and goes into an inside cradle.

Isis kicks out.

As they start to get up, Isis gets her leg hook Saito suplex on Lana and covers.

Lana kicks out.

Isis drags Lana up and hits a bicycle kick. Lana goes down and Isis covers again.

Rowena breaks it up.

Isis goes to hurl Rowena away but Daniel cuts her off. They hit her with the Premeditated. They pull Lana over to cover.

Jenn breaks it up.

Daniel drags Jenn up and Lana and Rowena push Isis towards the corner. Jenn starts hammering away with ansty forearms to the face on Daniel only for Rowena to move in behind her. Lana comes in as well and the Caedes hit Jenn with Better Than You. Masami climbs up into the corner and tags herself in. Lana turns and walks into an inside cradle from Masami.

Lana kicks out.

Masami goes after Rowena and then baits her into hitting a crossbody that takes both herself and Daniel over the top to the floor. The First Class Bitches grab Lana and hit her with a power-plex. Maami covers.

Rowena dives in to break it up.

Daniel reaches in and drags Isis to the floor. Rowena takes Jenn out to the floor as well. First Class Bitches and the Caedes brawl all around the ringside area with the referee watching on in stunned awe. Masami looks for the Nishiki Driver but Lana is able to swing through and reverse into the Glorifier. Lana covers Maami.



Umi Toriyama: Jushō-sha wa tsugi no tōridesu. Rowena Byrne, Danieru Corvin, Lana Corvin. Kōbin ōchō!

Seth Ernst: And the daughter of Ashe Corvin picks up the victory for her team, here at Wrestle War! What a match!

Miranda Augustino: Greatness, Seth! It’s in the blood!


As the final pre-show match of Night 1 was ready to begin, guest ring announcer Yuusuke Takeda stood in the center of the ring and introduced the NFW Silver Rush Rumble. The rules were listed as followed:


Once Yuusuke finished, he stepped out of the ring as the entrances began.

First, Tech N9ne 2Pac & Eminem’s “Till I Die 2” hit the PA and the crowd booed as The Titan, Atlas, made his way out to the ring. He stormed down the long walkway with confidence and that bit of arrogance in his strut as he reached the ring and climbed in over the top rope. He ripped his muscle shirt off and tossed it out to the floor as his music faded and….

“World On Fire” by Slash tore through the speakers and a pop from the audience signaled the arrival of Ashley Kenyon of K.I.S.S and Arsenal. She smirks and sashays down to the ring, making sure everybody's getting a good look as she goes. She steps up to the apron and shakes her ass before seductively bending over and slipping between the ropes into the ring. She walks to the center of the ring and wags a finger as if to say, "no touching," at Atlas who’s already sizing her up - checking out the goods.


The bell rang and the match was on! Atlas walked up to Ashley, confident as always and rubbing his chin as he looked her up and down, nodding like she could get it to. Ashley smirked, almost amused as she looked off to the side at the audience before suddenly firing one off at Atlas. Not a slap. No. A full on right hook right across the jaw! Atlas’ head snapped to the side and he went back half a step before glowering at Ashley and nodded. She wanted to play that? Fine. He lunged at her but Ashley slipped under his arms and got behind him, starting to fire away with the kicks and stiff jabs to the body, not shying away from catching him across the jaw some more, either. Atlas came back, wrapping a big hand around her throat and squeezed before turning and throwing her into the corner. He charged in for a big Corner Splash but Ashley got out of the way and he slammed chest first into the turnbuckle. As soon as he turned around, Ashley caught him with a CCS Enziguri and slumped him back in the corner. She got to her feet, ran across to the opposite side and kicked off of the turnbuckle, charging in at him. When she dove in for a corner splash of her own, Atlas caught her in mid air around the throat with both hands and lifted her off of her feet. Ashley kicked her legs, grasping at his arms before he popped her into the air, as if weightless, and caught her on his shoulders for a sitout powerbomb and a cover!


Ashley kicked out, gasping for air as the timer started ticking down.


“Careless Whisper” hit the system as Bethany Kenyon burst from the back curtain to an incredible pop. Ashley’s sister sprinted down the walkway as fast as she could! She slid into the ring while Atlas was continuing to overpower her sibling and grabbed him by the arm to spin him around. Atlas barely had the time to react before Bethany simply hauled off and soccer punted him right between the legs. This got an “OHHHHH” from the crowd as Atlas dropped to his knees. Bethany hit the ropes and came back in with a running Knee Strike right to the face, sending him to the mat. She helped Ashley up and signaled for her to get up on the turnbuckle. As she did, Bethany grabbed Atlas’ legs and stood over his head, holding his feet apart. Ashley put two middle fingers to the big man on the mat and soared off for a double leg drop right to the crotch again! The sisters high fived and dove on top of the Titan - probably not what he meant whenever says he wants two women all over him - and went for the cover!


Atlas FLUNG the Kenyon sisters off like a couple of weightless dolls, yelling at them to get up off of him like that. He sat up, still tender from the damage to his good and got up to his feet, about ready to square up with them both as the timer hit again.


K/DA’s “More” got the crowd loud again as Ryleigh Ruin stepped out of the curtain, raising her arms to the praise and cheers of Tokyo before making a beeline for the ring, all business like. She got into the ring and found herself to the side of Titan and the K.I.S.S. duo. After a moment of consideration, with both sides seeming to ask her if she wanted to help them, Ryleigh tilted her head and just smiled at Atlas...as she moved over to stand with Ashley and Beth. First there were two...now there were three! Atlas shook his head and rolled his shoulders, bringing up his fists and got into his own fighter’s stance. The three surrounded him as best they could before Ryleigh suddenly sprang forward, shooting for the legs. Atlas went for a sprawl but Ash and Beth jumped on him like a pair of wild dogs, throwing elbows and knees. Ryleigh slipped out from underneath him and joined the sisters in a three on one ground and pound attack as Atlas tried to cover up to the best of his ability. After a moment of three on one, Atlas exploded upward with an angry roar and sent the three staggering back. He went for Ryleigh again but she kept him at bay with some stiff Muay Thai kicks. The Kenyon sisters jumped back into the fray with some of their own kicks and a triple dropkick sent Atlas back into the ropes. As they got up to their feet, he bounced off and rushed in, leveling Ash and Beth with a double clothesline. Oh, he was looking pissed now! Ryleigh fired off with a spinning heel kick but Atlas caught her foot and grabbed her around the legs for a lift up and an MMA SLAM into the mat! He knelt down and placed a hand onto her chest for a cover.


But Ryleigh got her shoulders up when she grabbed him by the arm and wrapped her legs around his neck into a Triangle Choke! Atlas struggled for air, grasping at Ryleigh’s thigh with his free hand to try and pry her off anyway he could. Eventually, he set his feet and stood up, lifting Ryleigh off of the mat! It looked like he was going for a powerbomb but Ashley Kenyon ran in for a chop block to the back of his knee and sent him down again so Ryleigh could reapply the pressure on the submission! Finally, after what seemed like needing an army to take him down, Atlas thought better in the long run and tapped on Ryleigh’s leg signaling the submission!



Rip Slyme’s “Super Shooter” sent the crowd into a mixed reaction of both cheers and boos as Moe Renhuan sprang forward through the curtain, all smiles...and middle fingers to anyone she could give them to! With her gear she wore one of the Kingdom’s charity shirts bearing their logo, the purple ribbon logo for sobriety and the initials “MP” in yellow. She hit the ring and went right for Ryleigh Ruin! The Kingdom and TRIOCS clashing once again as Moe dove in with a springboard dropkick to the Little Monster! Ash and Beth stood back and watched as the two began exchanging blows. We couldn’t hear what they were saying but Ashley lifted her chin out at the scrap and made a remark that caused Beth to tap her chin and point to one of the two. Ash made a face and lifted an eyebrow at her sister, nodding at the scene again. She lifted a finger then and seemed to be stressing a point. Meanwhile Ryleigh threw Moe into the ropes who came back with a Headscissors Whip and popped up to her feet, wasting no time to grab Ruin into a DDT. Moe went into a ground pound but Ryleigh caught her in a Triangle Hold again until Moe reached up, trying to rake the eyes but couldn’t reach. Instead, she reached up and jabbed her fingers into Ryleigh’s armpit, hitting something that caused Ruin to shout out in pain and release her hold. Moe rolled away, catching her breath as the timer hit again.

There's a hushed silence as the crowd builds in anticipation. Everyone knows there's a surprise entrant, but time and time again, they've yet to appear. Could this finally be them?



Purple smoke fills the stage as the roof comes off the Tokyo Dome. The action in the ring stops to see the girl at the top of the stage. Some of them have a really happy look on their face, as there's only one person who comes out to "Magic" by Mystery Skulls. As "Magic" continues to build up, the smoke clears enough to reveal a petite scene girl, donned in the classic Zatanna get-up, complete with a top hat. The girl holds her head down, leaning a bit forward with a cane in hand until her theme finally kicks in, whereupon she brings her head up...

Seth Ernst: EMILY SANCLEMENTE!! IS HERE!!! IN THE TOKYO DOME!!!!

Miranda Augustino: A FORMER NFW UNDISPUTED CHAMPION, SETH!!!!! THIS IS HOW YOU KICK OFF WRESTLE WAR!!!!

Emelie Sanclemente: I couldn't stay away forever!

Seth Ernst: "We haven't seen her wrestle since October of 2020! It's been over a year!"

Sanclemente finally starts her way to the ring as "Magic" hits its first verse, slapping as many high-fives as she can on the way. Once the Magical Mighty Mouse slides into the ring, she waves to her opponents with a smile. A lot of the faces wave back, but Moe Renhuan charges towards Emelie, who lands a slingblade before the action starts back up. Ryleigh Ruin shot in for a low takedown on her legs. Emelie jumped with a split in the air, landed, and hit a big pele kick as Ruin spun around, knocking her stumbling out of the ring, through the ropes. Bethany Kenyon came in next and caught Emelie’s foot as she went for a Superkick but as she threw the leg to the side, Emelie followed through with a big Spinning Wheel Kick across the head and knocked Bethany down. Ashley shot in next with a lariat but Emelie ducked, turned and hit a big Poisonrana. With Ashley down on the mat, Emelie threw a hand in the air, pointing upward to get a pop out of the crowd. She ran to the nearest corner and sprang up, delivering Mercury Fold (Split-legged Corkscrew Moonsault) onto Ashley Kenyon and hooked the leg.



As Emelie got back to her feet, Moe was back up next and the two met in the center of the ring, locking up and starting to trade offense.


The sound of the TARDIS powering up preceded the beat of Pyrodrifter’s “Exterminate”, cueing the arrival of “The Bastard Prince” Tommy Janes stepping out from the curtain and striking his open arm pose; his ring robe substituted for the same tribute t-shirt that Moe had come out in. He walked the first half of the way to the ring until he saw what was going on inside the ring and picked up into a run, sliding in just as Emelie landed a Superkick on Moe, staggering her back. Emelie came off the ropes and charged Moe. Recognizing the music on the system, Moe ducked forward as Emelie dove at her. Sanclemente soared over Moe, through the air and right into a big dropkick from Janes, sending her to the mat. Moe popped up and double high fived her stablemate as Beth Kenyon got back up and Ryleigh Ruin climbed back into the ring. Moe went after Emelie again and the two continued their scrap as Tommy Janes pulled his shirt off and tossed it out into the crowd for someone to catch. He squared up with Ryleigh Ruin, going into a lockup. Ryleigh went for an armbar but Tommy yanked himself out of it. He rushed forward and got taken down with a Drop Toehold that Ryleigh transitioned into an Ankle Lock. He managed to grab the bottom rope and start pulling himself up, freeing his leg before coming in for a big stomp at Ryleigh’s face but she caught his leg and went to twist him into another leg submission, sending him onto the middle rope. Beth Kenyon had gone outside at that point, deciding to take advantage of the No DQ rule where she’d retrieved a baking sheet and smashed Tommy over the head with it! She climbed back into the ring and caught Moe Renhuan upside the back of the head while she had Emelie Sanclemente in a sharpshooter. She turned towards Ryleigh Ruin then as the Little Monster got up and the two stared at each other, tensely. Emelie made it up to her feet, noticing the two and seeing they had the Kingdom members outnumbered and at a disadvantage. She started to reason with Ryleigh and Bethany as--


The shredding guitar intro of “Your Sweet Six Six Six” by H.I.M tore through the arena and out came the Kingdom’s Jonna Austin. She glared down at the ring with a fire in her eyes as she stormed towards the ring, pulling off her vest and throwing it to the floor - also wearing the group’s charity shirt. As she approached the ring, Bethany, Ryleigh and Emelie had a quick conversation, exchanged fist bumps and convened on one side of the ring as Tommy and Moe got back to their feet, seeing their comrade arrive. Jonna ran up onto the apron and got into the ring and the two sides formed up - 3 on 3. Bethany refused to put the cookie sheet down, daring one of them to come at her. So, the three Kingdom members all got out of the ring and went digging for weapons. Chairs for Jonna and Tommy and a kendo stick for Moe. The three collided then after the better part of a minute. Moe missed a home run swing at Emelie’s head and the Magician started laying in with kicks. Ryleigh Ruin shot under Jonna’s overhead swing and hit a double leg takedown, going for a kneebar but caught a boot in the face. Tommy Janes smacked the tray out of Bethany’s hands with the chair and swung again but she juked behind him and kicked him in the ribs, causing him to drop the chair and hit a big DDT right onto it! Cover!


Kickout by Janes and he continues going head to head with Bethany. Moe and Emelie ended up in a kick off with each other as Ryleigh wrenched the arm of Jonna but the Gamer Punk rolled out of the hold and went for an Irish whip. Ryleigh reversed it but Jonna came off the ropes with a big Lou Thesz Press and started raining closed fists across Ryleigh’s head, causing her to cover up.


There’s a storm of boos as “B R Right” by Trina Ft. Ludacris hit the PA system and the Diamond Princess, Danielle Page sauntered out with her diamond scepter in hand. She made her way to the ring, taking her time and entering the fray. She immediately started going to town with her scepter, wielding it like a club as she took Emelie Sanclemente in the ribs with it, then hit her across the back, taking her down. She jabbed it into Moe’s stomach and drove the pommel into her head. She started going to town with it, flooring everyone in her path with her weapon of choice until she’s the only one standing in the center of the ring in her Princess pose. Bethany rolled out of the ring at this point and started pulling out the furniture to really spice this match up. Chairs. Tables. A ladder. More kendo sticks. Anything she could find under the ring. She set up a ladder bridge and slid a table into the ring before coming in again. Danielle went for another swing with her scepter but Bethany grabbed it and wrestled it away, pulling Danielle around the mat and shoving her away. Bethany tossed the scepter out of the ring and Danielle started to step in and protest before Ryleigh Ruin caught her with a hook kick to the side of the head! Bethany went to catch Ryleigh with the Kiss Off (Superkick) but Ryleigh caught her foot, spun her around and kicked her in the ribs, setting up for Fall Into Ruin (Canadian Destroyer) but Jonna Austin came out of nowhere and dove over Beth’s doubled over form to hit Ryleigh with Secret Strength (Spear)!! She popped up, beating a fist on her chest and started going at Ryleigh again while Tommy Janes and Moe Renhuan set up the table that Bethany brought in.


94 Stones’ cover of “Kid Buu” by Bruce Faulconer signaled the arrival of Etsuko Mitzusaka - of course accompanied by Pet, pointing and ordering her to get into the match and take care of business. Obey her Goddess. Etsuko shook her head and took off to the ring in a full on sprint. Not sure if it was to get into the mix or just to get away from her manager at the moment. She stopped at ring side to slide another table in and as she got into the ring, Danielle Page came right at her, knocking her into a corner and started putting the boots to her midsection. Etsuko reversed it and threw Danielle into the corner, beginning to throw vicious right hands. It was an absolute brawl for all with eight people in the ring now, all paired off. Ryleigh and Jonna continued duking it out until Moe came over to lend Jonna a hand. Janes and Beth went back at it and, a moment later, Emelie Sanclemente made it back up to even the odds for Ryleigh Ruin, pulling Jonna Austin away to square up. Emelie managed to catch Jonna with a drop toe hold onto the middle rope then hit a Tiger Feint Kick, knocking her back enough to deliver Clint Eastwood (Slingshot Spear) for another cover.


Jonna kicked out but Emelie popped up and yanked her hair back down to the mat as the Gamer Punk sat up then delivered a Standing Shooting Star Press. She hooked the leg again but Moe Renhuan came in with a Basement Dropkick to the side of her head, saving her colleague. As Emelie slowly started staggering up to her feet, Moe waited for the right moment then ran to the corner, springing back off for Big Bang Attack (Triangle Codebreaker)!! She threw herself over Emelie for a cover!


Kickout by Sanclemente! Moe slapped the mat and drove a forearm down into her jaw before rolling her onto the table she and Tommy Janes had set up, then climbing up to the top rope, setting up for The Crimson F*cker! Before she could dive off, though, Ryleigh Ruin ended up sending Jonna Austin into the ropes and knocking her over the top with a big clothesline. This knocked Moe off balance and caused her to fall onto the turnbuckle. As she tried to pull herself up, clearly in pain, Ryleigh ran up onto the turnbuckle, and as Emelie Sanclemente rolled off of it, Ryleigh set up for the G.O.A.T (Cravate Suplex), looking to do it off of the turnbuckle. Moe struggled as much as she could but Ryleigh wasn’t letting go until Tommy Janes ran in slipped between Ryleigh and the turnbuckle, pulling her up onto his shoulders looking for a powerbomb through the table! Emelie Sanclemente moved the table out of the way however and ran in for a spear to Janes, taking him down, causing Ryleigh to come down on top of him where she hooked the legs under her arms! Emelie threw herself against Ryleigh’s back to add extra leverage to the cover!




“Operation Ground And Pound” by Dragonforce hit and the Tokyo crowd popped for Keiji Sugiwara as The Last Emperor stepped through the curtain, arms raised, horns in the air. Keiji hurried to the ring, slapping hands on the way before he slid into the mat and went off like a bullet, pinging around the ring with dropkicks for anybody who wanted one...as well as those who didn’t want one! Bethany Kenyon put a brief stop to his momentum with a few kicks but Keiji came out of an Irish Whip off the ropes with Saishu Fomu (Superman Elbow), then hit the ropes to flip back and nail her with Loaded For Bear (Superstar Elbow), hooking the leg as a referee slid in!



Keiji popped up, feeling the fire as he joined in with the rest of the mix. He ended up mixing it up with Moe Renhuan as the rumble continued.


There’s a loud pop (and a bit of swooning from the ladies) as “Ain’t It Fun” by Dead Boys came on through the PA and Ronnie “Wicked” Lester of The Crusade stepped through the curtain. He walked to the ring, climbing right to the top rope and came in with authority, taking Etsuko Mitzusaka and Danielle Page down with a Missile Dropkick. He popped up to his feet and inserted himself into the aerial fray of Moe and Keiji, showing off his own crazy antics by springing off of the ropes and hitting Keiji with a hurricanrana. As he popped up, Moe Renhuan came running at him and went for a flying crossbody and Ronnie caught her out of the air with Guilty Pleasure (Body Press Cutter)! Cover!



Ronnie got to his feet and turned, just in time to see Etsuko Mitzusaka running at him with a lariat. He ducked right underneath it, scooping her up onto his shoulders into a Fireman’s Carry. As he turned, Keiji Sugiwara nailed him with a Superkick, causing him to drop Etsuko onto her feet. She and Danielle Page got into it again as Keiji saw Ronnie staggering and ran to the ropes, springing off into the air but Ronnie caught him across his shoulders, into a squat position and straightened his legs. He now had Keiji in the same Fireman’s Carry before delivering a brutal Guilt Trip (Cradle Shock)!!




“Act A Fool” by Ludacris hit the PA and Faith Simpson comes running out through a curtain of smoke. She makes her way towards the ring, hyping up the crowd and high fiving fans along the way before she comes up onto the apron and springboards in with a Springboard DDT to Jonna Austin outta nowhere! Emelie Sanclemente comes for her and spins Faith around, looking for a kick to the midsection but Faith catches her foot, spins her around and hits an Inverted Exploder Suplex! She makes it to her feet and is grabbed by Ryleigh Ruin who starts dishing out some MMA punches and kicks to one of Collision’s newcomers. Ruin ends the combo with a spinning thrust kick to the midsection before setting up for Fall Into Ruin again. Faith countered, lifting Ryleigh into a back body drop but Ryleigh held onto the legs, trying to pull her down into a cradle pin. However, Faith answered with a jumping Double Foot Stomp right to Ryleigh’s chest before pulling her up to her feet and went for Twist Of Faith (Swinging Neckbreaker) but Ryleigh shoved her into the ropes. Ruin bent forward, looking for a Back Body Drop of her own but Faith came back and kicked her right in the jaw, dazing her and pulled her into Twist Of Faith again. This time she got it all!!



The countdown started again as Faith made it back to her feet and the rumble continued.


“All The Things She Said” by Lena Scissorhands Ft. Chase The Comet signaled the arrival of Jeszika Gautier as the muscle of Arsenal came storming to the ring. All business as she knew she was going to have no alliances to work with after her colleagues were eliminated. The Dirty beanie came off and went into the crowd without her even looking who she threw it to and she came into the ring with a sense of purpose. She hit the ring and went on a tear. Faith Simpson got a Bodyscissors Takedown and a forearm to the jaw as she started sitting up. Danielle Page ate a Superkick. Etsuko Mitzusaka went for a kick and a DDT but Jeszika twisted out of it and levelled her with a big lariat. Ronnie Lester tried for one of his own but missed and turned around to catch a kick, only to eat an Enziguri. Emelie Sanclemente ran in for a hurricanrana but Jeszika used her power to reverse it into a big, spinning sitout powerbomb right in the center of the mat for a cover--


But Emelie kicked out as the countdown started for the last time.


The final entry was revealed as “Wildest Dreams” by Taylor Swift played and Bianca Page stepped out, arms open, turning and presenting herself to the booing crowd in an arrogant manner as she made her way to the ring. She reached the ring in time to save her sister, Danielle, from taking a suplex at the hands of Ronnie Lester and the two Socialites reversed it into a double suplex to the Wicked One, instead. They turned their sights on Jeszika Gautier now, clearly viewing her as one of the biggest threats of the match. The blonde sisters converged on part of the former Trios Champions, making it two on one while Emelie Sanclemente and Faith Simpson paired off against Jonna Austin and Etsuko Mitzusaka. It was an absolute riot now, inside the ring as some fights started spilling out to the floor and the apron. Emelie Sanclemente and Etsuko Mitzusaka were fighting it out on the apron, trading blows back and forth when Bianca Page missed a Running High Knee on Jeszika Gautier as she got out of the way and caught Emelie in the side of the head. She managed to hold onto the ropes but was staggered enough that Etsuko grabbed onto her! Remember that ladder bridge that was set up earlier? Well, it’s not there anymore now as Etsuko lifted Emelie up and delivered a brutal Mitzusaka Driver right through it, snapping the ladder in half!!

Crowd: OHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Pet ran over and grabbed Emelie, rolling her into the ring then started yelling for Etsuko to get up and go make the cover. As she did, though, Danielle Page saw the opportunity and threw herself down over Emelie, grinning deviously!



By now, Etsuko had made it up to her feet, shaking the pain out of her back as she noticed what just happened. Fuming, she crawled into the ring while Danielle was galavanting to the audience only to be spun around by the Red Oni and hoisted up for another Mitzusaka Driver!! This time, Etsuko covered her target and hooked the leg right!



Having seen this off from the side, Bianca Page started yelling at the referee before throwing blows at Etsuko now. Bianca and Etsuko were trading blows back and forth before Bianca hit a thumb to the eye on the Red Oni before catching her with a Superkick. Etsuko staggered, turning and bounced front first off of the ropes, right back into Bianca who lifted her onto her shoulders and delivered Halo (One Winged Angel), holding onto the leg for another cover.



Bianca Page got to her feet, taunting the woman that had eliminated her sister and shoving her out of the ring with her boot. Pet came over to stand by Etsuko and Our Goddess started talking some trash back and forth with Bianca. With her distracted, Faith Simpson ran in and jumped, catching Bianca with her legs into a Sunset Flip for a cover!



Bianca shot up in disbelief, yelling at the referee as he ushered her out of the ring so the match could continue. With Danielle still at ringside, having not quite left, the Page sisters were fuming, vowing that this wasn’t the last that would be seen of them and took their leave up the aisle. Meanwhile, Jonna Austin and Ronnie Lester were mixing it up, while Jeszika Gautier had Faith Simpson overpowered, absolutely tossing the smaller blonde around the ring. Jonna and Ronnie’s exchange was an all-out slugfest with the Gamer Punk absolutely refusing to go down. Her perseverance paid off as Ronnie ran in with a Running High Knee to the corner but Jonna moved out of the way causing Ronnie’s leg to slam right into the turnbuckle. He staggered back right into her arms, allowing her to hit Poisoned World (Belly To Back Driver)! At the same instant, Jeszika Gautier had Faith Simpson set up for the Fatale-ity (Code Red) but as she followed through with it, Faith got her arms up and protected her head from the brunt of the impact. She rolled backwards up onto her feet and came in with a sickening Shining Wizard to Gautier. While Jonna was delivering Poisoned World, Faith was up on the turnbuckle, coming off onto Jeszika with Have A Little Faith (630 Senton)! Jonna covered Ronnie and Faith covered Jeszika!



Ronnie and Jeszika rolled out of the ring as Faith and Jonna pulled themselves up in opposite corners and turned to notice each other. Realizing they were the last two, they stepped into the center of the ring, staring each other down. There was a bit of talking going on before the two finally lunged in and locked up. Jonna easily powered Faith back into the corner but she braced with her foot and pushed back. Jonna went for a strong toss to throw Faith to the center of the ring. The one who called herself The Future, rolled up to her feet, finding herself in the corner, just in time to catch Jonna charging in with a big corner splash. Faith got out of the way and hit a rope assisted Enziguri to the Gamer Punk’s jaw, sending her slumping down into the corner. Faith ran a half lap around the inside of the ring, reaching the opposite corner diagonal to Jonna and charged in with a big Hesitating Dropkick! Faith dragged Jonna out of the corner and went for the cover, hooking the leg.


Kickout from Jonna! Faith popped up to her feet and went for a Standing Moonsault but as she did, Jonna rolled to the side out of the way. Faith landed on her feet, however and quickly turned around, shooting for another Moonsault and this time she hit it, getting a pop from the crowd. She pulled Jonna up, going for a Snap Suplex but Jonna blocked with the leg and started throwing fist into her ribs. Faith finally slumped and Jonna reversed it into Returned Fate (Twist of Fate) but Faith shoved her into the ropes and spiked her with a Hurricanrana, trapping her legs!


Jonna kicked out, flinging Faith forward into the ropes as she slowly got up. Faith made it back onto her feet and came in fast, looking for Twist of Faith but Jonna twisted up out of it and nailed her with a boot to the ribs before hoisting her up and delivering Falling Faith (Yokosuka Cutter) for a cover of her own!


Faith kicked out and Jonna slapped the mat, pulling her back up with frustration in her eyes as the two continued to fight it out all over the ring. Jonna continued using her size and strength advantage over Faith while the smaller of the competitors made great use of her speed and agility. It wasn’t too long before Jonna ended up slowing Faith’s momentum, however, and got her up on a turnbuckle, looking for perhaps an Superplex but Faith fought out of it, punching Jonna in the ribs and throwing forearms along with headbutts to the jaw. Jonna slumped down back onto the mat, bent over while Faith climbed up and steadied herself on top. She jumped off the turnbuckle, over Jonna and rolled across the mat. She came up, ran to the corner where the previously setup table was leaning, pushed off of it with her foot and turned around to charge-- SECRET STRENGTH (SPEAR) THROUGH THE TABLE BY JONNA AUSTIN!!!! The wood exploded as Jonna’s impact drove Faith right through it with that telltale loud crunch. Jonna crawled out of the rubble, flinging a piece of the table off of herself as she pulled herself up to her feet. She dragged Faith up and set her up for Poisoned World. As she went for the lift, Faith just somehow managed to roll through it and land unsteadily on her feet, staggering back into the ropes, bounding her back towards her opponent. Jonna turned, saw her and grinned, lifting her arms. Two middle fingers to The Future! Kick to the midsection! G2! G2! G2 (STUNNER!) Faith flopped to the mat as Jonna made the cover, hooking the leg!
