The crowd barely has a chance to settle down after the opening match before the sound of an old radio filters through the PA, like someone trying to find the right station. Jekyll's "Heaven Don't Want Me (And Hell's Afraid I'll Take Over)" finally comes through loud and clear as the telltale "Behold the Kingdom" graphic fills the screen.

Nick Hanson: We haven't even been back ten whole minutes, and look who it is!

Jim Reynolds: This is how you start the year off right! It's our brand new World Heavyweight Champion!

Nick Hanson: That's right! After a brutal rivalry that culminated at WrestleWar, Tren Descarrilado defeated the odds on favorite Damon Cross to become champion!

Tren's hair is cut shorter now, though he still had his beard. He's wearing a sleeveless t-shirt that bears an image of a stylized golden bullet train, the front of the engine bearing his unique face paint. He's not painted up tonight, however, as he hasn't been booked. He stops at the bottom of the ramp, unhooking the World Heavyweight Championship from around his waist before taking two steps and leaping up into the apron. He steps through the ropes and immediately heads over to get a microphone.

Nick Hanson: Tren isn't booked to compete tonight, but it looks like the champion has something to say!

Jim Reynolds: Of course he does. Tren isn't exactly happy with the way things have played out between NFW and Zion as of late. I'm sure he's got something to say about that!

Descarrilado takes the microphone, laying his title over his left shoulder. The crowd noise finally dies down as the champ raises the mic to speak.

Tren Descarrilado: For the past few days, all people wanna talk about is Zion this. NFW that. Brand war bullshit. Damon, Adrianna, and Nathaniel showed up on their show and took down their champ. What are my thoughts on the situation?

Tren flashes a grin, shaking his head before looking into the camera.

Tren Descarrilado: Fuck Zion. Fuck Kai Morgan. And that Daria chick? She should just be glad it was the Undisputed Champion who rolled in that night. If it had been me? Well…

The Train Wreck just shrugs, the look on his face clearly speaking volumes.

Tren Descarrilado: Now onto the task at hand. I defeated a man I call my brother at WrestleWar, in the motherfucking TOKYO DOME, to claim this title. MY World Heavyweight Championship. So the real question I'm sure you all are wondering is simple. Who's next?

Descarrilado's face grows serious as he strokes his beard, looking around the ring.

Tren Descarrilado: That's a good fucking question, ain't it? Because from where I'm standing, looking back up that ramp, there ain't a single motherfucker in that locker room who’s got what it takes to derail this train. Damon said it best. Me and him? We are the best this roster has to offer. Trauma or Collision. I am the motherfuckin’ King of the Mountain. Don't matter what company you work for. Don't matter what your belt is called. At the end of the god-damned day, I sit at the fucking peak of sports entertainment as the best motherfucking champion in the world. So…

Tren lifts the title off his shoulder, a cocky smirk on his face as he pops his neck left to right before glaring up the ramp.

Tren Descarrilado: Who's next, motherfuckers?

Jim Reynolds: I doubt there’s anyone brave enough to face the Runaway Train!

Nick Hanson: Keep in mind Damon Cross still has a rematch clause should he choose to use it now.

Jim Reynolds: Come on, Nicky. We need something fresh, something new! BEHOLD THE KINGDOM!

Nick Hanson: Considering how many times the Kingdom members were contenders for the World Heavyweight title last year, you can’t make that argument, Jim.

As the arguing continues between the Collision commentators, the lights dim until they’re off. The fans are curious to see what this is about. Then the NFW Tron comes to life with a custom Fatal Fury gaming sprite of Danni Anderson in her pink Terry Bogard-styled ring attire. In unison, Terry Bogard’s sound clip--


--from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate rings true with the Danni sprite performing the Buster Wolf Desperation Move!
This kick-starts “Overtime” by Cash Cash and it resonates from the PA system. Pink lights begin to flash to the beat of the music as the NFW Tron switches to a video collection of Danni’s best moments in professional wrestling.


Suddenly, a spotlight shines on the entrance. Through the curtains, Danielle Debaillion cartwheels and land in a cool crouching tiger-esque pose on the stage. The fans CHEER aloud for the Pink Sugarplum Fairy and they even move to the music! She’s sporting her pink Terry Bogard-styled ring attire, an outfit she hasn’t worn since WrestleWar XVII in December 2020.


Nick Hanson: Mrs. Debaillion?

Jim Reynolds: What the hell is the Ritalin Kid doing out here?!

As her music continues to play, Danni comes down the ramp and tags a few hands along the way. She ascends the steel steps and climbs into the ring through the ropes. Once she’s in the ring, she bounces her way over to Tren and smiles brightly. She holds her hand out and asks for the mic. He raises an eyebrow but gives it to her anyway. The fans are cheering and yet they’re curious to see what’s going on. Her music begins to fade and the fans quiet down. She raises the mic to her lips and smiles.

Danni Deballion (◠‿◠✿) Hi, Tren! Hi, Chicago! It’s been a while!

She waves with her free hand and most of the fans wave back to her. The pop is worth it. Danni giggles and lightly toe-kicks the mat.

Danni Deballion (◕‿◕✿) We were in Japan for a little over two months. Then we were off for three weeks. Chi-Town hasn’t seen us in a cool minute. You’ve been looking for your first challenger. W-e-l-l…

Then her free hand simply holds out her index finger, a gesture to hold on a minute. Danni reaches into her pink star jacket and pulls out a folded piece of paper. She begins to unfold it and the nearby camera zooms in once it’s fully revealed. It’s an official medical document with two doctors’ signatures.

Danni Deballion (◠‿◠✿) I’ve been cleared to return to N-F-W!

Nick Hanson & Jim Reynolds: WHAT?!?!

The fans are EXPLODING with cheers! Their excitement is resonating throughout the Vlad Blackheart Coliseum!

Danni Deballion (✿◠‿◠) But wait, there’s more!

She places the microphone in her left hand and digs into her jacket with her right hand. Her tongue sticks out a little and she pulls out another folded piece of paper. Smiling, she unfolds it, and the camera focuses in to reveal her official rematch clause for the NFW World Heavyweight Championship -- signed by Luthor Callaway!

Danni Deballion (◕‿◕✿) Sooo a little history lesson! When I lost my title to Mary on WrestleWar 17, December 2020, my rematch clause was filled. But the problem was after my last match in HYBRID Wrestling… my head trauma was really, really bad. It broke my heart, but I had to medically retire from wrestling. My doctor wouldn’t clear me to compete. Because of this, however, Mr. Callaway decided to freeze my rematch clause to keep it intact -- juuust in case there was a change in my wrestling status… One year later, this has finally come around!

With both documents in her left hand, she pats the World Heavyweight Championship belt over Tren’s shoulder with her right hand and grins.

Danni Deballion (✿◠‿◠) I want my shiny back.

There’s a deafening pop from the Chicago crowd as Danni smiles up at the World Heavyweight Champion. Tren towers over the woman with his confused expression slowly turning to one of, to the surprise of many, absolute concern.

Nick Hanson: Wait, WHAT?! Danni Deballion is announcing her medical clearance AND the enforcement of her rematch clause!

Jim Reynolds: What the hell is that supposed to mean?!

Nick Hanson: What the hell do you think it means?! She’s challenging Tren Descarrilado for the World Heavyweight Title!

Jim Reynolds: Is she out of her mind?! She must have a death wish!

Nick Hanson: Danni’s never been one to back down from a fight, no matter how big or small Jim.

Jim Reynolds: I think she’s taken one too many shots to that pretty little noggin’ of hers if she’s stepping up to the Man Who Feels No Pain!

Nick Hanson: Hey, now. You stop that!

Jim Reynolds: Well, think about it!

Inside the ring, Danni hands the mic back to him with a little pep in her step. Tren continues to look concerned as he lifts the mic to his mouth again. His other hand reaches out for the papers in Danni’s hand.

Tren Descarrilado: D, lemme see that shit.

He almost, just almost, snatches the papers and turns them to look them over. His eyes give a quick scan over the documents as he switches the papers around, looking at them both. He continues reading and starts to slowly shake his head before handing the papers back to Danni. Tren steps away, beginning to pace around the ring. Concern turns to visible frustration. Finally, the big man steps towards the ropes. He grabs the top rope and starts to lift one leg over the middle. He pauses, resting his leg over it as he looks back at the Pink Sugarplum Fairy. She folds her hands in front of her, her fingers still holding onto the documents. There’s a brightness in her sparkly blue eyes, but deep within them, there’s also confusion as to why he’s feeling the way he is now. Danni tilts her head to one side, then to the other. Tren just stares at her with that same mix of concern and frustration in his eyes before he finishes stepping out of the ring, drops off the apron to the floor, and starts walking up towards the stage.

Nick Hanson: What the…? Where’s Tren going?

Jim Reynolds: Uhhh…challenge accepted? Denied?

Nick Hanson: I mean, he can’t exactly deny the challenge if it’s signed and approved by Luthor Callaway. He doesn’t look happy, though. I can say that much.

Commentary starts to fall silent as scattered voices call out to the champion, confused about his reaction. Tren doesn’t slow down. He doesn’t look back. He just stares ahead with that same torn look on his face. There’s even one more shake of his head as the World Heavyweight Champion disappears through the tunnel towards backstage before the camera cuts back to Danni inside the ring. What was supposed to be a bright, jovial, insanely awesome moment has turned dark and gloomy. Her confusion has certainly turned into concern. She walks over to where the microphone was discarded and picks it up. She doesn’t try to call him back in the ring. She certainly doesn’t insult him.

Danni Deballion (◕︿◕✿) Tren…?

It’s a sad little squeak of his name. The fans aren’t sure what to make of this as the Semper Fairy carefully hands the microphone over to one of the ringside officials before she makes her way out of the ring. “Overtime” by Cash Cash plays from the PA system as she dashes up the ramp after her friend. There’s an unsettling silence that looms over the arena. Not even Nick or Jim know what to say as Collision goes to commercial.

Valkyrie vs. DJ From ATL

DJ From ATL walks out to the center of the ring, smirking at his opponent as he does so. He bows to her, laughing all the way. Valkyrie slips up to the top and perche, waiting while DJ is bent over. As DJ stands back up, Valkyrie leaps off into the Mjolnir, knocking him clean on his ass. Valkyrie slowly stands up, stalking her prey while DJ lies on the mat looking up at the lights, stunned amazement in his eyes. Valkyrie motions at him to stand. She moves her feet so that she's in a particular stance when DJ finally starts to move. She nods in approval, motioning at him again. DJ slowly gets to his feet and Valkyrie spins into Freyja’s Kiss. DJ falls into the corner, crashing hard into the turnbuckles. Valkyrie launches herself into a spear to his midsection. DJ’s eyes go wide in pain. Valkyrie jumps up into a European uppercut and then catches the falling body for an exploder suplex that rattles the ring. Valkyrie pounces on top of DJ and starts to rain punches down to his face. She hits him again and again and again and again until the referee threatens to disqualify her for the repeated usage of closed fists. She jumps into the Bifrost, DJ’s hand landing under the bottom rope. As Valkyrie leans back into the full figure eight hold, the referee begins to count her down to disqualification.


Having eyed the referee the whole time, Valkyrie releases her hold just as the referee reaches the threatening number. Valkyrie rolls away and climbs back to the top while DJ lies there on the mat clutching at his leg. Valkyrie jumps off for the Gungnir, smashing both feet down into the midsection of DJ with all her might. DJ rolls over on his side in obvious agony. Valkyrie gets up and grabs his legs, pulling him into just the right position to go for the Bifrost again. Just as she’d hoped, DJ is easily able to grab the bottom rope. The referee calls for the break and just as before, Valkyrie holds.


Valkyrie releases the hold just in time again and rolls away, licking her lips at what’s left of her prey. DJ tries to roll over from the rope and Valkyrie grabs him by the legs. She pulls him to the center of the ring as he tries to pull free. She shakes her head and steps into Fenrir’s Bite. DJ scream bloody murder as she sits down far enough to bend him in half and almost make his feet touch the back of his head. DJ starts tapping frantically and the referee calls for the bell.


Nick Hanson: Good god, what a beating! Can’t even call that a match!

Jim Reynolds: Welcome to the New Frontier! I like her!

Nick Hanson: Of course you do!

Jim Reynolds: Can you blame me?!

Nick Hanson: There’s a lot I can blame you for, Jim.


“Apocalypse Now” by Cro-Mags blasts out of the PA system as both Becca “Bruiser” Maguire and “Psycho” Saoirse Maguire walk out onto the stage from opposite sides with their NFW Tag Team Championships fastened around their waists. Stopping in the center of the stage, Bruiser drops to one knee in front of Psycho and makes the M shape with her hands while Psycho places her hands on her hips and flashes a sinister smirk. The two then unfasten their belts from around their waist and as Bruiser rises back to her feet, they both raise their titles high above their heads.

Roger Arden: Please welcome… the NEEEWWW NFW Tag Team Champions! Becca “Bruiser” Maguire… “Psycho” Saoirse Maguire… Gallus… Mag!

Psycho puts her title over her shoulder while Bruiser just carries her by her side as they begin to make their way down the ramp towards the ring. Once they reach the bottom of the ramp, Bruiser rolls under the bottom rope while Psycho makes her way up the steel steps and climbs through the ropes. Bruiser remains on her knees and scoots over to the center as Psycho walks up behind her and once again, Bruiser rises up and the two raise their titles into the air again before they call for a microphone each and are handed them as “Apocalypse Now” fades out.

Becca "Bruiser" Maguire: Ya know… I feel like before we talk about the fact that we did what we said we were gonna fuckin’ do at WrestleWar… we need to address what went down the other week in another certain wrestlin’ company…

Bruiser then throws her title over her shoulder and looks over to her wife.

"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Aye, we feckin’ led th’ charge wit several others! Th’ call bae comin’ in an’ we bae answerin’ tha call!

Becca "Bruiser" Maguire: Damn fuckin’ right! And we know ya’ll are watchin’... and we know ya’ll will be plottin’ a retort… so let us make it perfectly fuckin’ clear to ya’ll!

The Shieldmaidens get up close to the camera in the ring that is focused on them.

Becca "Bruiser" Maguire: We’ll be fuckin’ waitin’ for ya… and ya’ll are gonna have to kill us if ya wanna stop us!

"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: We are th’ NFW tag taem champions an’ we bae ready fer enithin tha ye kin bae trowin’ our way!

Bruiser nods and puts her arm around her wife as they show off their titles to the camera before then turning their attention to the stage.

Becca "Bruiser" Maguire: So now that we got that shite outta the way… as ya’ll fuckin’ heard when we came out here and as ya’ll can see… for those who missed WrestleWar? Gallus fuckin’ Mag are officially on top! We’re at the top o’ the fuckin’ food chain! We defeated the Brothers Drake and we are ya’lls brand new Tag Team Champions!

"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Aye, an’ we bae lookin’ tae invite everyone else back there tae step up an’ take yer shot!

Becca "Bruiser" Maguire: Aye! Coz Sorsh and I? We’re fightin’ champions! And we wanna go down in history as the greatest fuckin’ Tag Team Champions in NFW history! We don’t give a shite who steps up… whether ya’ll have been here for five minutes or whether ya’ll have been here for five years! Whether ya’ll are rookies or veterans! If ya’ll wanna go toe to toe with Gallus Mag, we invite ya’ll to do it!

"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Aye, coz hell bae empty…

Becca "Bruiser" Maguire: And the Maidens are here!

The champions then drop their microphones as “Apocalypse Now” blasts out of the PA system and they raise their titles up into the air again.

Nick Hanson: Well, the brand new Tag Team Champions sending quite the message here tonight not only to the Zion roster but to every tag team in NFW.

Jim Reynolds: Well, they are the team to beat and I can see them being on top for a long time to come, Nick.

The Maguires then exit the ring and make their way up the ramp and to the back as we cut elsewhere.
The scene comes up backstage with Sela-Rica Lark staring at a wall as she sways back and forth slowly. As Sela is doing that, Abigail Lindsay is sitting on a black crate reading a book. It takes a moment for Abigail to realize that the camera is rolling. She pulls her attention away from the book long enough to give the camera her undivided attention.

Abigail Lindsey: Exciting times in N F Dubbya eh? Wrestlewar in the rearview mirror. Issy and Luthor exchanged brand new chess pieces with the annual draft. Hayley and Griff’s eternal rivalry polluting the Collision brand...

Abigail gags. She rolls her eyes.

Abigail Lindsey: “Fun times” ahead for certain.

The one constant that hasn’t changed is Sela and I. We were drafted to Collision a year ago dontcha know? Over the course of a year no one, and I mean no-one has proven to be good enough to stop us. A few battles were lost. Common in war. The end result of 2021 was a result no one in their right mind can deny. We took the right to The Queen’s Guard. We decided enough was enough with allowing The Kingdom to have all the fun. Wrestlewar we beat them, Milisandre slayed their Queen. In one fell swoop the entire NFW roster was put on notice. In case no one has gotten the message, pay attention to what happens tonight.

Abigail winks.

Abigail Lindsey: ISIS. Jenn Drew. You two are in the same position Sela and I were a year ago. You are the new kids on the block. You are coming fresh from the blue brand. You are likely looking to make a statement, I can’t blame you, Wrestlewar didn’t go your way, especially ISIS. 0-2. For such a physical specimen, none of that was good enough to secure one win. Congrats on you and Risa having a grand ole time, you’re gonna need a little comfort. Tonight won’t go your way either. Why? Simple actually. Not very complicated at all. Collison belongs to US.

Abigail points to herself and Sela.

Abigail Lindsey: And Milisandre as well. There will be nothing classy about what lies ahead. See you out there ladies.

Abigail blows a kiss at the camera. She returns to reading her book.

Sela finally looks up from the wall. She looks towards the camera with an intense look on her face.

Sela Rica-Lark: What we started at WrestleWar, we are going to continue with this New Year, this new season in NFW. Not the Kingdom, they are burned to the ground. Memories of greatness. We are the ones who will pick up from those ashes and carry on to rise and become the top team in NFW.

Sela smiles as she flips her hair which then falls to cover half her face.

Sela Rica-Lark: It's not a thought. It's not a prediction or a spoiler. It's destiny. Whether that includes taking down the tag champs or not, matters little. Simply speaking when this year ends, it will be Salacious Intent that you speak of. It will be Salacious Intent the voices tell you about.

Sela's psychotic laugh echoes in the camera as she falls back against the crate and is caught by Abigail's legs. Sela nuzzles into her legs as the scene fades out with Sela still with her evil grin on her face.
Backstage, the NFW Tag Team Champions, Gallus Mag, Becca “Bruiser” Maguire and “Psycho” Saoirse Maguire stand by the GO Position, nodding at what they’ve just seen in the ring.

"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Hasnay lost a ting, ‘as she?

Becca "Bruiser" Maguire: Not a fuckin’ thin’! Looks like she always has.

"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Aye, an’ twice as feckin’ vicious!

Becca "Bruiser" Maguire: Oh aye, lass!

The match itself didn’t last long, much to Valkyrie’s dismay, but the end result was satisfying-ish. Calypso tossed her a towel as they reached the back and as she wiped the sweat off her face, she looked up to see Saoirse and Becca standing there with big smiles on their faces.

Valkyrie: Well hey, you two!

It was rare to see Valkyrie smile these days, but seeing these two brought a genuine one to her face. She walked over and hugged both women and stood back.

Valkyrie: Wasn’t expectin’ to see ya’ll tonight, but happy that ya’ll are here!

She kind of glanced around a little.

Valkyrie: Where’s RJ?

Becca "Bruiser" Maguire: Back home bein’ watched by Eef, figured since we ain’t booked tonight that she could have the fuckin’ night off.

"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Aye, she likes playin’ aunty tha way.

Valkyrie smiled again at hearin’ the news. RJ had a special place in her heart as he had been named after her when Becca and Saoirse brought him home. She gave them a look.

Valkyrie: Miss that little shit. I’m gonna have to come back down to Louisiana and see him soon. Things have been progressing at a fast pace with the new compound and charter. How’s everyone else doing?

Valkyrie smiled a silent ‘thank you’ at Calypso when the woman handed her a bottle of water. But kept her attention on Bec and Sorsh. Bruiser nods and folds her heavily tattooed arms across her chest.

Becca "Bruiser" Maguire: Aye, everyone’s doin’ alright… especially now that that fuckin’ shite was sorted out with Killer’s “parents”. But aye… business is good.

"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: Tha bae one way tae bae putin’ tha clusterfuck. Gammy feckin’ bastards sicced th’ feckin’ state on us!

Becca "Bruiser" Maguire: Aye… but at least they’re now where they fuckin’ belon’... and then there o’ course was the incident at Killer’s weddin’. Good job Matt was there to take care o’ that before it escalated or else it would o’ gotten ugly.

"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire: An’ now we have a friend wit th’ state agency.

She gave them both an odd, yet confused, look.

Valkyrie: I heard about the whole Killer’s parents situation.. What happened at the wedding?

After the incident of Druscilla’s “death” on Halloween at the TFCC event, Valkyrie had been on radio silence. Only one she’d even spoken to through that whole ordeal with the Shieldmaiden’s London Charter President, Widow. Ironically, Dru’s cousin. So, Valkyrie wasn’t up-to-date on all the happenings as of yet.

Becca "Bruiser" Maguire: Killer’s “father” sent a fuckin’ hitman to likely put a bullet in both her and her sister, Tori… thankfully Matt Robinson, who had been helpin’ out with that whole mess with those gammy gowls, was at the weddin’ and got tipped off about a suit watchin’ the clubhouse so he and Ale took care o’ him. O’ course, Killer herself caught wind o’ what coulda gone down, and Killer bein’ Killer, with her short fuse ended up kickin’ the shite outta the fucker before even gettin’ changed outta her weddin’ dress.

A look of surprise crossed Valkyrie’s face as she listened to Bruiser tell the tale of what had happened at the wedding.

Valkyrie: Still in her wedding dress?! That’s fuckin’ classically hilarious. And, from what I’ve met of her, typical for her.

She glanced back towards the curtains and laughed a bit as her opponent was brought to the back. A dark, almost sadistic, grin formed as she followed the procession with her eyes. Calypso looked back to Valkyrie and giggled softly.

Calypso: Bet that’s a match he won’t soon forget.

Valkyrie turned to the camera as it approached. She reached out and grabbed the lens like she was grabbing onto someone's throat.

Valkyrie: Pay attention. Especially those of you in Zion. He got a small taste of what I’m capable of. And the road from here only goes up. So, if you’re a pansy bitch boi or the Wish version of a Dollar Tree Barbie, like Hayley Halfwit… You’d do well to heed my warning…

Valkyrie pulled the camera closer to her and let out a low growl.

Valkyrie: …Run…

Then she shoved the camera (and camera man/woman) away. The four women looking down at the camera as they faded from view.

Valkyrie looked back to Bruiser and Sorsh.

Valkyrie: Well, I have two little ones I need to get home to, myself. Been in Chicago for a week on business and left Memphis with the twins.

Bruiser nods.

Becca "Bruiser" Maguire: Aye, we got a message o’ our own we wanna fuckin’ send to those gammy gowls in Zion and to all o’ the tag teams here so we’ll catch ya’ll later, lasses.

Bruiser raises her fist up for a fist bump which Valkyrie returns and then hugs both women tightly as she and Calypso turns and heads off to the locker room.

First Class Bitches vs. Salacious Intent

Both teams rush into the fight and pair off. Isis grabs Sela-Rica and throws her into the nearest corner. Sela-Rica bounces off the turnbuckles and Isis runs her over with a clothesline as she rebounds off the corner. Abigail and Jenn start throwing on each other, exchanging punche as Isis goes to drag Sela-Rica up. Sela-Rica pulls the big Amazon into an inside cradle.

Isis kicks out.

Isis gets to her feet, grabs Sela-Rica and launches her over the top rope with a release German suplex. Sela-Rica flies and flips over so that she lands on the floor on her stomach. Abigail and Jenn continue firing off on each other until Isis comes over and grabs Abigail by the throat. Abigail scratches at the big woman’s eyes and then catches Jenn rushing in with a drop toehold that lands Jenn face first against Isis’ critch. Isis collapses to the mat, Jenn landing right next to her. Abigail rolls into a cradle on Jenn.

Jenn kicks out.

Isis tries to pull herself up into the seated position. Jenn egts to her feet as Sela-Rica climbs up to the top of the nearest corner to her. Abigail grabs her for a modified rocket launcher that sends Sela-Rica into Jenn like a javelin, speaking Jenn down so that Jenn’s head again crotches Isis on impact. Isis’ eyes go wide in pain as Sela-Rica covers Jenn.

Jenn kicks out.

Salacious Intent goes to pull Jenn up and he drills both with low blows in stereo. Jenn jumps up into a victory roll on Sela-Rica.

Sela-Rica kicks out.

Jenn jumps into a sunset flip on Abigail.

Abigail kicks out.

Isis gets to her feet and goes to throw Sela-Rica over the typo again. Abigail punches Jenn away and grabs the big woman’s legs. Sela-Rica hooks the top rope and wraps her legs for a head scissors. Isis and Sela-Rica go over the top together with Isis going all the way to the floor while Sela-Rica lands on the apron.Jenn gets an O’Connor roll on Abigail.

Abigail kicks out.

Jen is propelled to the ropes where Sela-Rica hits her with a big forearm shot. Jenn staggers back and Sela-Rica comes in. Salacious Intent hits Sensuous Destruction and Abigail holds for the cover.

The cameras start up backstage where we can see Lil Juicy in a dressing room, phone in his hands.

Lil Juicy: ”Can’t believe this shit, man. First I get blocked on twitter by my boo, then I get booked against this crazy chick? Can you believe this shit, Viz?”

The cameras pan to show The Vision standing to the side, who looks over at Juicy when he asks the question.

The Vision: ”I mean, I can believe that Hayley blocked you, not so sure about this whole match you got booked for though, I mean, it’s good that you got booked, but when it’s against someone like Sylvia Lopez, however.”

Juicy stands up out of his chair and throws his hands in the air.

Lil Juicy: ”That’s what I’m sayin, dawg! How is it I always seem to get booked in some mad underdog story, man. I dunno anymore, aye.”

Vision seems ticked off by what Lil Juicy is saying here, so he slaps him upside the head, and as Juicy turns around to ask what that was for, Vision grabs him on the side of the head.

The Vision: ”You need to stop talking down about yourself like this, dude! You’re Lil Fucking Juicy! You could get any girl you want, and probably their mother with them, you’re a three time Minnesota Underground Rap Battle Champion! You’re the hottest thing going in wrestling today, and on top of all that. You’re the motherfucking Drip GAWD! So, if you don’t stop thinking so little of yourself, I’ll personally kick your ass.”

Juicy has a small smile come across his face, patting his friend on the head.

Lil Juicy: ”That’s adorable that you think you could kick my ass.”

Juicy and Vision share a laugh, before then sharing a bro hug.

The Vision: ”Now that we’ve gotten that off our chests, you ready for tonight?”

Juicy pulls something out of his pocket, which is revealed to be his clout goggles, he slides them on like he’s just said some killer catchphrase on CSI: Miami, and looks at Vision.

Lil Juicy: ”Let’s go kick some ass.”

With that, Juicy and Vision vacate the locker room, and the cameras fade.
We cut backstage to find “The Bellevue Banshee” sitting cross-legged on one of the production crates playing her hands as she lets out a maniacal laugh.

Sylvia Lopez: It’s a new year! And Sylvia has already had a great 2022!

She bounces up and down, clapping her hands.

Sylvia Lopez: Sylvia has already won a shiny in another company! And Sylvia ended up finding another shiny at WrestleWar! Her Sapphire, Dakota Winters!

Lopez giggles.

Sylvia Lopez: And tonight?! Sylvia gets to play for her Sapphire! She gets to make her Sapphire proud by squeezing the life force out of Lil’ Juicy!

The Bellevue Banshee’s expression now turns serious as she glares into the camera.

Sylvia Lopez: Time to play!

Lopez then quickly jumps to her feet on the crate, baring her teeth as if she were feral and then lunges at the camera with a shriek, causing it to cut to static and forcing us to cut elsewhere.

Sylvia Lopez vs. Lil Juicy

Sylvia and Juicy lock-up, almost missing each other because of the height difference and Juicy’s lack of technique. Juicy picks Sylvia up and tosses her across the ring. He then almost starts to dance at his ability to do this. Sylvia comes charging out of the corner and catches Juicy unaware with a Thesz Press. She starts to hammer away on his face as they land, Juicy getting his hands up to try and save his drip as he goes. Sylvia hammers away and then bites his left hand. Juicy cries out in pain and Sylvia starts giving him wicked headbutts to the chest. Juicy tries to roll her into a cradle and almost cradles himself, somehow bouncing off the turnbuckles with his ass to end up in the right position.

Sylvia kicks out.

Sylvia jumps on him and starts the Lunatic Combination, headbutting Juicy almost into oblivion before lapping on the mandible claw. He goes down to the mat and grabs the bottom rope from what seems like it should be too far away to get there. Sylvia releases her grip and satrst head butting him all the way around, hitting almost every part of Juicy’s anatomy as she goes around ending with a vicious headbutt to the jewel. Juicy’s eyes go wide in pain as she rolls over, clutching at his mauled marbles. Sylvai jumps on him for a cover.

Juicy gets his foot on the ropes.

Sylvia roars angrily and starts headbutting him like a machine gun again. Juicy rolls her over into a half-assed cradle.

Sylvia kicks out.

Sylvia drops down and headbutts Juicy’ jewels again. Juicy screams in pain louder this time. Sylvia grabs his fingers and bite at them before spreading and snapping one. Juicy stare at his head, almost shaking from the pain. He swings one of his long legs over and kicks her in the back of her head. Sylvia falls into another cradle.

Sylvia kicks out, screaming with rage.

Sylvia gets onto all fours and starts growling as Juicy starts to get up. He makes it to his knees and Sylvia headbutts him yet again. Juicy falls backwards and Sylvia pounces, growling even more animalistically than before. Sylvia starts to claw at him, biting his arm before taking an armbar. Juicy reaches out and again, easily, grabs a rope for the break. Sylvia releases her grip and jumps into the Lopez lock, landing it in the one place in the ring Juicy can’t reach the ropes from. Juicy trees to thrash his way free but Sylvia sinks it in deep and cries out as she pulls with all her might. Juicy tries to hold on but finally goes limp in the hold. The referee checks him and calls for the bell.




We open in darkness. The muffled sounds of bubbles and flowing water are the only indications that this is actually more than just a black screen. Suddenly two large, yellowish, cephalopod-like eyes appear. They seem to glow with their own inner light. The horizontal pupils expand and contract, adjusting in the darkness.

A small figure appears suddenly in front of the eyes. The outline of the figure shows that it is human-shaped. The camera zooms in on the figure as it is mysteriously illuminated. The blonde hair waving in the water is one of many hints that the figure is none other than Milisandre Crowthorne. Her eyes open and she looks into the camera as she floats in front of the massive set of eyes. There is a soft, gurgling voice that starts to speak in unintelligible speech just before Milisandre does.


Milisandre Crowthorne: The self titled Queen tried to oppose us. She was beaten at her own game. Let that be a lesson to you all. Your strengths shall become your downfall. Do not presume you can outthink or out plan. It will only result in failure.

Milisandre’s arms slowly float down to her sides. She floats in place, without effort. Seeming to be able to survive while being submerged to an unknown depth. That hauntingly deep gurgling continues to precede Milisandre’s words.


Milisandre Crowthorne: The warning goes to any who will stand in our way. You shall fall as the Queen fell. Our path is clear. Our destination set. None of you shall stand in our way. None of you shall stop the spread of the whispers. Soon you all shall be ours.

A sinister grin spreads across Milisandre’s lips.


Milisandre Crowthorne: Do not think you are special, Jonna. You are just the one set to receive the whispers. There will be more before you. You may think that having your chance against us makes you special. It does not. All it has done has marked you. Your confidence shall slowly turn to dread. And that is the sweetest flavor. One we shall savor as you realize your doom.

The eyes behind Milisandre narrow sinisterly as she speaks. Her own face mimicked the look. Suddenly both the light illuminating Milisandre and the glowing eyes vanish. We have plunged again into utter darkness. The only tell that things have changed is the transition to the next scene.
We find ourselves in the backstage area and it is there where we are able to see Crystal Zdunich. Her long blue hair cascades down her back. She has her arms folded as she takes a long deep breath and begins to speak.

Crystal Zdunich: Good evening to everybody out there. My name is Crystal Zdunich and I just want to say from the bottom of my heart that it feels really good to be on Collision. I won’t lie. When the year first started I was absolutely pissed off.

Crystal shakes her head just sighing as she looks deeper into the camera.

Crystal Zdunich: It’s because I finally got my happy ending. Things seemed to be going absolutely wonderful over the Holiday break. I am able to have my cake and I certainly get to have it as well. I get to spend my life away from wrestling at home with two special women. I got to spend eternity with Seleana and now Alexandra. Everything I that I have been fighting so hard for I have now achieved and it brings a wonderful smile to my face. Life would seem to be good.

Crystal just sighs again before she tries to wipe that shot away.

Crystal Zdunich: Life would have been good but then the draft came and my Alexandra is gone. She is now on the other brand, and I am here on Collision trying to figure out where do I take things from here. I know a lot of people really don’t like me. I heard that fact when Marilyn stated that all I do is try to leech off of others or live in the past. The comments really got to me and honestly even though I fought Cass in a losing effort. I don’t want the first thought of Crystal Zdunich to be that of having to live through others. Oh no! I want to be looked upon as being an amazing talent. I really want to set the world ablaze and I want everyone to get swallowed up in my flames. I refuse to be looked upon as than being anything other than an a great wrestler.

Crystal begins to get focused as she shares her heart some more.

Crystal Zdunich: That’s why my time alone on this brand is a perfect time to showcase why this rose refuses to wither away. I will become something and I will gain that first major win that I have been waiting for. Tonight I step into the ring with Solomon and it is going to be tough to step in the ring and do so, but if there is somebody that can do it. I know for a fact it’s me. Never count me out of anything. I will rise up and I will be the wrestler I know I can be. Tonight marks the first step but I would be lying if I said there wasn’t somebody that I did have my eye on. Katie… As far as I am concerned you are the next thing in my sight right now. It has been building for a while now, and I don’t care If I have to wait to get to you, and it might really pull Zoey in different directions. You are in my sight. You said things that shouldn’t have been said and they will be corrected. Just watch me tonight. Solomon… You are the first one up and this will be the start of a rise within me this year. Just watch and see…

With that Crystal walks away as we go to elsewhere.
Backstage, we see Brea Lombardi running her hands through her hair, annoyed with the Japan tour, as she was about to speak about the events that had taken place.

Brea Lombardi: "Finally back home, and a new home on Collision is looking like a promising new start. I can't wait to show the fans exactly what I have to offer…"

She said, before being cut off as we see Viola Mancini and The House starting to surround her with baseball bats in hand, as Viola breaks the silence.

Viola Mancini: "Funny. This is our new home too… and you have a debt to pay."

Viola said, as Camila and Isabella immediately began to strike Brea, quickly beating her, as the sound of bats against flesh would echo with each strike to her, as Viola looked at the cameraguy, threatening him.

Viola Mancini: "What are you looking at?! Get outta here!"

She shouted, before putting her hand against the lens and shoving it away, as the screen goes to static.

Crystal Zdunich vs. Solomon Graham

The two started their match off, much to the crowd’s delight, with a collar & elbow tie up, leading into a bit of chain wrestling. Crystal took early control of the match, utilizing her veteran experience and agility to put an early hurting on the Paragon of Professional Wrestling. She twisted and flipped out of Graham’s attempts at an arm wringer and used his own momentum to send him rolling across the mat with a springboard armdrag. She evaded a clothesline and hit the ropes for a Tilt-A-Whirl DDT, followed by an impressive standing Moonsault, hooking the leg for an early cover.


Crystal picked Solomon up and hit him with a Snapmare, followed up by a series of soccer kicks to the back and a running Neck Snap. She hit another Moonsault, this time off of a springboard and hooked the leg for another cover on Graham!


Crystal pulled Solomon up to his feet by the hair with a warning from the ref and went for an Irish Whip but Solomon reversed, sending her out and back in for a discus forearm that she evaded still and came back with an Enziguri across the head, putting him on unsteady legs. Crystal hit the ropes and came back with a big dropkick. She then climbed to the top turnbuckle and went for a 450* Splash but Solomon got his knees up right into her ribs, turning the tides of the match and knocking the wind right out of her. The Paragon was up to his feet again, trying to shake off the pain of Crystal’s initial onslaught as he went right for her with his infamous kicks and knees to the head and body. He wasn’t letting up as he kept her on the mat with a series of Knee Drops and Bionic Elbow Drops right across the head, He locked in a Dragon Sleeper but Crystal wasn’t ready to give in and managed to slip out before getting to her feet and going for a side roundhouse kick but Graham caught the leg and fed her a stiff forearm to the jaw, followed by a Spinning Backfist and a short range Lariat for a cover.


As Crystal made it back to her feet, she continued fighting back against her opponent and the two began exchanging stiff back and forth chops. She rocked Solomon just right and hit a spinning thrust kick to the midsection before hitting the ropes for a Springboard Hurricanrana, catching the legs for another cover.


Solomon started to get to his feet but Crystal was quick on her feet and wits to kip up and nailed him in the head with Flashing Lights, sending him crumpling back to the mat. She started climbing to the top, looking for Rose Prism Power (630 Senton Splash) but Solomon made it to his feet before she was able to jump and ran up onto the turnbuckles, snapping her off with a Frankensteiner that sent them both crashing down to the mat to the awe of the crowd. Solomon pulled himself up, then got Crystal to her feet, acting quick as he lifted her up to deliver Shattered Neck Brilliance (Leaping Piledriver) and hooked the leg.

Nick Hanson: Coming up is a Triple Threat Match for the NFW Perseverance Title..the reigning champion Hayley Halsey will defend her gold against Etsuko Mitzuaska and the former champion..Griffin Hawkins!

Jim Reynolds: Hayley has done EVERYTHING but sleep with Hawkins to get out of giving him a rematch. She thought when she was drafted to Collision he was out of her hair for good..but in a last minute trade, The Rock Soldier has made his way over to this brand, and now she has no choice but to face him!

Nick Hanson: Let's not leave out the third combatant in this match Jim! Etsuko has been waiting a long time for an opportunity like this, she is all about going out there and winning by any means necessary. She could care less about this feud between Halsey and Hawkins, she's willing to pin either of them if it means leaving with the gold!

Jim Reynolds: ...wait, I'm getting word something's gone on in the back. Can we get somebody back there?!

We head to the back were we see officials crowding over Griffin Hawkins who appears to be on the floor face down and unconscious, not moving an inch.

Amanda Thorn: Ladies and gentlemen..some late breaking news here. One of the combatant's for tonight's main event Griffin Hawkins has apparently been attacked!

The officials are trying their best to revive him, EMT's are called on the scene, trying to revive him.

Amanda Thorn: EMTs have arrived and they are looking to try and bring him back to a state of consciousness. As for whoever attacked him, we're not sure who it was. There was a loud bang and by the time people arrived, they found him out cold. There will be more on this when we get the full story!

We go back to the announcers who are stunned.

Jim Reynolds: ...oh my god.

Nick Hanson: This is a heartbreaker for Hawkins for sure.

Jim Reynolds: .....you don't think....

Nick Hanson: That Hayley Halsey was the one who left her unconscious?...all signs point to her!

Jim Reynolds: I know I said earlier that Hayley's willing to do anything to get out of putting her title on the line against Hawkins...but is she capable of this?

Nick Hanson: ...who even knows. The bigger story here is Hawkins may be out of the match....what becomes of the main event?!

Etsuko Mitzusaka vs. Griffin Hawkins vs. Hayley Halsey ©

As the main event was set to begin, ring announcer Roger Arden introduced the match as the triple threat for the Perseverance Title match. The slow, rainfall like beginning cues up with the arena turning a deep hue of red. A sparkling rain falls upon the crowd but leaves no physical trace as the first one of the duo out is Pet to a chorus of boos mixed with a few signs of her Harem showing their support. Behind her is Etsuko who steps through the red rain following the Goddess who walks with arms out and a brilliant smile formed from her crimson lips. She turns her wrist a few times to wave out at the crowd but for the most parts keeps her palms upward while leading her charge. Etsuko appears briefly aggravated over the length of this walk and decides to pick up the pace once by the ring where, after picking up enough steam, slides in under the ropes and stands slightly hunched with her right arm hanging down and staring up from under her brow. She's clearly ready to fight as Pet finds the safest spot for her at ringside, the one where the Harem has gathered in the crowd, and settles herself in place.

For the next entry, “Separate Ways” by Journey came on over the PA, preparing fans for the entrance of Griffin Hawkins. The music played on for almost a full minute but there was no sign of the Jukebox Hero. The music stopped and started over, playing on for another minute but still there was no sign of the second challenger.

Nick Hanson: Oh no, I…I don’t think Griffin Hawkins is gonna be able to make it out after how he was found….

Jim Reynolds: He was pretty bad, Nicky.

"Good Girls Gone Bad" hits the PA system and Hayley Halsey steps through the curtains, instantly drawing boos from the crowd. She starts to walk down the ramp, obviously confident in her self-proclaimed, prodigious abilities. She has a smirk on her face as she gets to the ring, sporting the Perseverance Championship around her waist, obviously enjoying the reaction she's getting from the fans. When she enters the ring, she finally acknowledges the "haters" with a 'hush' signal, which only serves to incite them to boo her louder. Hayley has a laugh to herself at this, as she starts to focus on her match and the song fades.

Nick Hanson: Well, here’s the champ. Are we still having a match?

Jim Reynolds: Who knows?!

Hayley Halsey begins to converse with the referee, telling Senior Official James Greer that he should declare Griffin Hawkins a no-show and announce her as still the champion, seeing as the Perseverance championship rules state there must be at least three competitors in the match. Etsuko Mitzusaka and her manager, Pet step up to say their peace and Hayley steps back, pointing a finger and warning them not to lay a finger on her. The referee beckons everyone to their corners before asking Roger Arden to announce Griffin Hawkins one more time. “Separate Ways” by Journey starts up again but this time, as it starts up, another referee comes running down to the ring to talk with James Greer. The camera gets close enough just in time to hear.

Heather Young: Mr. Callaway says the match is off. Hawkins isn’t making it out here. He’s not cleared.

The cameras go backstage where we find General Manager Luthor Callaway. He looks annoyed and distressed over what’s happened to one of his roster members. Suddenly. he’s approached by a very excited The Soz who grabs the man by his shoulders.

The Soz: MR. BRODY!!! MR. BRODY!! WHAT IS UP MY DUDE?! I AM THE SO–

Luthor Callaway: I know who you are! What do you want?

The Soz: MY DUDE!! YOU’RE NEEDING SOMEONE TO FILL THE MAIN EVENT SPOT?! LOOK NO FURTHER!!!!

There’s an amused pop from the audience as Luthor looks at Soz like he just sprouted a second head.

Luthor Callaway: Boy, what in the blue fuck are you going on about?

The Soz: THE PERSEVERANCE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH!! DO NOT BE LETTING A BOOKING GO TO WASTE!!! PUT ME IN!!!! PUT IN THE SOZ!!!!

Luthor just stands there and stares at the man but he hears the Chicago crowd start going wild for the underdog talent. They even get a chant going of “Soz! Soz! Soz! Soz!” Luthor can hear the roar of the crowd and closes his eyes. Why does he feel like he’s about to regret this?

Luthor Callaway: For the love of fucking…fine!! Get your ass out there then! Hurry up!!

The Soz: EXCELLENT MY DUDE!!! RIGHTEOUS!!! YOU WILL NOT BE REGRETTING THIS!!

Luthor Callaway: GODDAMN IT, SOZ!!! GET THE FUCK OUT THERE!!

The Soz jumps at the raise in Luthor’s voice and takes off running for Gorilla position. The camera switches to ringside again as he comes through the curtain, running down towards the ring. Hayley Halsey, Etsuko Mitzusaka and Pet all look collectively bewildered.

Jim Reynolds: ...Are you fucking kidding me? What is this moron doing out here?

Nick Hanson: He just got himself a Perseverance Championship match! Let’s go, man!

Jim Reynolds: This idiot’s out of his fucking mind.

Nick Hanson: Oh have a heart.

Hayley Halsey points at The Soz and argues with the referee that he wasn’t a pre-announced contender and that she shouldn’t have to do this match. Pet simply turns to Etsuko, swats her in the side of the head to psyche her up and gives her the kill command before she gets out of the ring. Referee James Greer calls for the opening bell.


And the match is on! Hayley Halsey backs into her corner, throwing her fists up, ready to fight like a cat if either of them come at her. Pet shouts more commands to Etsuko Mitzusaka, drawing the Red Oni’s attention who argues back to her manager that she knows what she’s doing but suddenly, The Soz springs into action! He dashes across the ring and hits a running dropkick to the back of Etsuko! She goes tumbling over the top rope and crashes into Pet, leaving the two in a pile!

Nick Hanson: Hey now!!!! Here we go!!!!! The Soz with the big first offense!!!!

The Soz backs up from the ropes, eyes wide, jaw dropped. Utterly elated that he got a lick of offense in. He throws up his fists and begins to jump up and down to a pop from the crowd when suddenly, Hayley Halsey swoops in and rolls him up into a tight Schoolboy for the quick cover! Referee James Greer drops to the mat!


Nick Hanson: And just like that it is over!!

Jim Reynolds: BWAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! GET FUCKED, SOZ!!!! Enjoy your fifteen seconds of fame!!

Roger Arden: Here is your winner, by pinfall and STILL the NFW Perseverance Champion!!! HAYLEY…HALSEY!!!!

“Good Girls Gone Bad” plays as Hayley Halsey rolls out of the ring and grabs the Perseverance Championship from the timekeeper as she heads for the ramp, laughing and raising her title up high.

Jim Reynolds: Still champion baby!!! Let’s go!!

Nick Hanson: That’s quite a lucky situation she found herself in. Who do you think was responsible for Griffin Hawkins not making it to the ring?

Jim Reynolds: Are you accusing our Perseverance Champion of foul play?!

Nick Hanson: Well who else would have benefitted from this?!

Jim Reynolds: She wasn’t even backstage, Nick! She was at Gorilla, waiting to walk out! Someone would have seen her! Look how perfect her hair still is! Does she look like someone who got into a backstage scrap?! You know what?! I bet it was Zion Wrestling!! I wouldn’t be surprised if they decided to hit us again because they can’t take some just repercussions for what they did in October!

Nick Hanson: Oh for the love of…folks, that’s our show for tonight, unfortunately. We’ll see you next week for more Collision!
