Match #1/Singles
Jonna Austin vs. Big Bubba Thompson
The two powerhouses look over one another, with Bubba seeming far less militant than his opponent. Jonna comes in hard with a clothesline that barely staggers Bubba, though that hardly deters her as she moves right in to a barrage of forearms and leg kicks, trying to chop the big fellow down. For a time, Bubba covers up but in a rare outburst, he finally shoves Jonna to the mat with ease, as if she were a child. Immediately he looks apologetic for this, but Jonna merely grins and shakes her head, getting back up and motioning for Bubba to lock up with her. He does so and, briefly, Jonna makes some headway. But Bubba turns and backs her into the corner, all the way up onto the buckles where Jonna finds herself sitting, looking down at the big-hearted country boy. She shakes her head and gives him a little applause, prompting Bubba to turn about as the fans likewise cheer him on. Jonna, though, is merely looking for an opportunity: she leaps off the second rope, grabbing Bubba round the head and driving him into the mat with a bulldog! With effort she rolls him over and manages to hook the far leg…
ONE…
TW-
TW-
…but Bubba heaves her off, sending Jonna almost to her feet! A bit wide-eyed, Jonna shakes it off and attempts to keep momentum on her side! She delivers Rolling Thunder to a still-downed Bubba, bouncing up to her feet and following with a running kick to the ribs. Bubba is still on his hands and knees as Jonna delivers a flipping neckbreaker, again trying to pin the hoss!
ONE…
TWO…
KICK-OUT!
TWO…
KICK-OUT!
And with authority, too! Now Bubba is starting to show more signs of life, getting a little riled! When Jonna pulls him up, or tries to, a giant paw one-handedly shoves her back! Jonna rebounds off the ropes with another clothesline… then a second… and even a third! The third proves to be Bubba’s limit as he grabs Jonna and rattles the ring with a big swinging side slam on the Gamer Punk! The air whooshes out of Jonna almost visibly and Bubba, still shaking off the cobwebs, drags her over to the buckles and starts to climb! It’s looking as if the big fella is thinking Vader Bomb, but Jonna gets up and gets out of the way in a hurry! Bubba skillfully lands on his feet and Jonna smashes him in the back of the head with a forearm! She attempts a German but Bubba forces himself free and turns it around, delivering a release German of his own! Jonna seems to be in dire straits until a missed avalanche splash by Bubba has him eating turnbuckles! A Secret Strength smashes Bubba against the buckles and a second finally brings him down! Realizing that she needs to get creative, Jonna hits Returned Fate and a frog splash, this time managing to keep the big man down for three!
Winner: Jonna Austin
Result: Pinfall

We see Viola, Camila and Isabella in the back, as we see The House taping their hands and readying to take on The Career Killaz for contendership to the NFW Tag Team Titles, as Viola would speak to her soldiers briefly.Viola Mancini "Just one step at a time, girls. You take out these bums, then we concern ourselves with Gallus Mag, later."
Camila Morricone "Both of them talk way too much, anyway."
Isabella Terrano "We'll beat some respect and humility into them both."
They said, as we see Josh Davidson approaching them, as he speaks to Viola directly, as she obviously does not look entertained to see him.
Josh Davidson "Viola, you've been silent all week, and we want to know what the deal was between you and Brea Lombardi? What was the deal with that assault that taken place backstage?"
Viola would then place a finger on his mouth to keep him quiet, as she gives him a sly smirk, before replying to him.
Viola Mancini "I've got no idea what you're talking about, Josh. You must be seeing things! You might need to see someone about that."
Viola said, coyly patting his cheek, and playing dumb about the situation.
Viola Mancini "Now, Brea was pretty hurt. She was meant to have a match on the undercarriage this week, but she couldn't make it. Now, I don't know anything about these things you're trying to suggest… but, if the trash decides to take itself out, you know, people generally don't complain about it… or ask questions about it. Capiche?"
She said, her voice subtly getting more aggressive and stern.
Viola Mancini "Now, if you'll excuse us, we have business to attend to. Camila and Isabella are set to face off against the so-called Murk Squad. Ladies?"
Isabella Terrano "Looks like fate dealt you boys a bad hand, tonight. Camila and I have been preparing for a fight like this for awhile… and we don't mind getting in a gritty fight."
Camila Morricone "All eyes might be on you, but they're going to watch you both taking one of the worst beatings of your life. Because it's been written all along… The House always wins."
Camila said, as the three of them would make their way out of the scene, leaving Josh behind, as the scene flowed into the next segment.

Match #2/Singles
The Soz vs. Etsuko Mitzusaka
The bell rang and The Soz immediately started playing up to the crowd while Pet whispered instructions to Etsuko in the corner. The whole time, the Red Oni glared at the man from the corner, anxious to obliterate the fool who ruined another opportunity at the Genesis Title for her. Pet gave Etsuko a slap to the back and sent her to the center of the ring where she came to meet her face to face. The Soz hopped up and down on his feet, sticking his dukes up, ready to go. Etsuko looked him over with a look of disgust and feigned a lunge at him. Soz flinched, covering up with his arms and the crowd laughed until Etsuko nailed him in the stomach with a Toe Kick and pulled him right into a Snap Suplex. She immediately picked Soz up and hooked an arm around his head, delivering a Snap DDT, planting him into the mat. She went for the cover–
ONE!
TWO!
TWO!
But pulled Soz’s arm up, shaking her head with a sneer on her face. She got to her feet and took a step back, motioning for him to get back up. Soz dragged himself to his feet and Etsuko motioned for him to give her his best shot. He threw a backhand knife edged chop that brushed across her chest to no effect. Etsuko looked around at the crowd, then back to Soz, yelling for him to hit her again. Once more, he struck her and the woman didn’t flinch. The next movement she made was stepping back and hitting a Thrust Kick to his ribs then lunged in and hit a Sweep Kick that knocked him back on his ass. Etsuko pulled him up again by his wrist and pulled him into a Short Arm Clothesline, pulled him back up to his feet by that same arm and delivered a Swinging Neckbreaker. She got back up again and took him by that same wrist, sneering down at him before taking Soz’s other wrist and delivered a brutal Mitzusaka Bunny Hop right onto his face!! Finally, she dropped back down for another cover-
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
~DING DING DING~
TWO!
THREE!
~DING DING DING~
And thankfully it was all over from there as Etsuko stormed out of the ring with Pet going after her to catch up while the referee checked on Soz’s broken form.
Winner: Etsuko Mitzusaka
Result: Pinfall

==========================================================
As the crowd begins to settle down from the previous match, No Easy Way Out blasts over the house speakers, getting an excited cheer from the fans. Soon after, River Chance slowly emerges through the curtain, wearing a white compression shirt, jeans, and a pair of boots. She nods to the fans, and begins her march towards the ring.Nick Hanson: And here comes River Chance, making a rare unscheduled appearance. I have to say, I'm here for it.
Jim Reynolds: Yeah, sure. I'm telling you Nicky, this chick is going to snap some day, and I'm here for THAT. Nobody is that composition, all of the time.
By this point River has entered the ring, and acquired a microphone. She patiently waits for the crowd to calm down, before raising it to her lips.
River Chance: Greetings and salutations. I have come here on this day, to discuss my transfer to this brand. Mr. Calloway proclaimed that he was satisfied with his acquisitions, and yet, has thus far failed to feature me. I do not begrudge him for this, however, I wish to compete. That being said, I wish to issue an open challenge for next week. If anyone so wishes, please, let me know of your intention of acceptance. I thank you all, and wish you a good rest of the evening.
River starts to leave the ring, but gets cut off by some familiar sounding music. Trina Tanaka comes excitedly onto the entrance ramp, prompting River to make her way back to mid ring, and wait patiently.
Jim Reynolds: Trina Tanaka? Don't tell me she's here to answer the challenge.
Nick Hanson: And why not?
Jim Reynolds: Look at her, and then look at the chick making the challenge.
Mic in hand now, Trina approaches River, she seems to be all smiles, and has to compose herself before attempting to say anything.
Trina: Hey, why wait a week. I accept for RIGHT NOW! Come on, I'm dying to wrestle!
River Chance: No. I do not wish to harm you.
Trina's smile slowly fades, as she stares River down. Then she suddenly reaches back, and slaps River, the sound resonates through the ringside are. River's eyes narrow, and her jaw clinches, she turns her head to the time keeper, and simply nods, prompting them to ring the bell.
~DING DING DING~
Nick Hanson: Trina didn't like the answer, but it looks like it just changed. This is going to be good.
Jim Reynolds: Did she just slap River? That, was stupid.
As a ref hurriedly comes to the ring, River stays frozen in place, as if challenging Trina to do her worst. Tanaka didn't need to be told twice, as she unloads on River with a series of rapid strikes, which somehow Chance just eats. Trina decides to switch to kicks, which seem a little more effective, right up until River catches one, and pulls her in, Chance lifts her into the air, spins, and falls, planting Tanaka spine first into the canvas.
Nick Hanson: Pommel Strike! That's it match O..my God! River Chance, just laying into Trina Tanaka with vicious elbow shots. What the hell is going on!?
Jim Reynolds: Remember what I said earlier? Yeah, you're seeing that.
River keeps raining elbow shots from the guard position, eventually busting Trina open. However, she keeps going, causing the ref to call River off, River ignores him, and keeps elbowing the cut she made. It isn't until the ref starts counting, and reaches four that River stops, and returns to her feet. Trina's face is coated in red, but she somehow wills herself to keep fighting which pops the crowd. River stands motionless, her eyes fixed on Trina, who rushes forward and throws herself at Chance, catching her with a forearm to the chest, but the powerhouse doesn't budge. Trina's face collides with Chance's shirt, smearing blood on the chest, leaving a trail as she drops to a knee. River shakes her head, and lifts Trina back to a standing position, but just when it seems she was helping her opponent up, she lifts her onto her shoulders, places one arm on her neck, and the other between her legs. River begins to bring her arms down, causing Trina to yell out in anguish. She fights it, but is eventually forced to tap, the ref signals for the bell, and River simply shrugs her shoulders, letting gravity plant Tanaka face first into the canvas.
~DING DING DING~
River stares at Trina for a moment, but decides to leave. However, as she's about halfway up the ramp, she sees Trina start to stir, and turns back toward the ring, she begins to make her way back, but is quickly cut off by "Heart of Lilith" by Inkubus Sukubus River doesn't seem to notice though, and climbs back into the ring, the ref pleads with her, but his arguments fall on def ears. It isn't until Lilith Meadows positions herself between River, and Trina that River stops. Lil gives River some serious puppy dog eyes, and holds out a Reese's Cup which snaps River back to reality. She places a hand on Lil's shoulder, and tells her to keep the candy. They leave together, as the ring staff checks to make sure Tanaka is alright.
Nick Hanson: What the hell has gotten into River Chance?!
Jim Reynolds: Iiiiii keep telling you!
==========================================================
Within the General Manager’s office of the Vlad Blackheart Coliseum, the camera reveals the Cutest Little Badass sitting in the desk chair. Leina Rael-Debaillion’s wearing her father’s red hoodie and the blue-and-white HAPPY mask, a pair of black leggings, and red Converse sneakers. Sitting on the desk, above the assortment of paperwork, is her neon-colored Nintendo Switch. There’s a paused game of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on the XL screen. She glances up a little.Leina Rael: C’mon, Lu! You know you wanna play.
Sitting off to the side of his desk in a chair, General Manager Luthor Callaway sifts through a stack of papers in his hands with a look between intensely focused and not sure if his head is going to explode. His hardened gaze softens a bit as he lifts his gaze from the papers.
Luthor Callaway: Kiddo, I got a whole lot of stuff to take care of first. Promise I’ll go a few rounds with ya as soon as I get all of this sorted.
Luthor looks back at the papers, switches to another page, and scans over it before a grumble comes from his throat.
Luthor Callaway: Baumer, for the umpteenth time: you get paid on a goddamn salary. Stop asking for paid time off!
Callaway crumbles the paper up into a ball and tosses it across the office. It bounces off the backboard to a mini basketball hoop right above his office trash bin and hits the floor softly.
Luthor Callaway: Shit.
Just then, there’s a knock on the door.
Calypso Bates: Mister Callaway?
Instinctively, Leina raises her mask and rests it on the top of her head.
Leina Rael: That voice…
She softly growls. Her mood’s certainly the opposite of her mask’s. Luthor looks up from his stack of papers again, then diverts his attention to Leina.
Luthor Callaway: You be nice, Lei.
He stands up, sets his papers down on the desk, and moves to the office door, pulling it open.
Luthor Callaway: Ms. Bates! C’mon in. Have a seat.
Luthor stands aside to allow room and motions with an arm. With the door open, Calypso Bates walks in.
Calypso Bates: Hello, Sir, I was told there was some paperwork that needed to be taken care of for Valkyrie?
Luthor Callaway: That! Yes, one moment. It’s…
Luthor steps over to his desk, sorting through papers. He picks up the Nintendo Switch and checks the papers underneath.
Luthor Callaway: Here you are. How’s she doing? I hope–
He’s cut off when the sound of Ratt’s “Round And Round” comes blasting out of his jacket pocket. Luthor reaches in and pulls out his phone which makes the ringtone get louder as he looks at the screen and his face drops.
Luthor Callaway: Are you fu–
Wait. Child ears present. He cuts himself off and taps the Answer button, bringing his phone to his ear.
Luthor Callaway: I’m in a meeting. What’s up?
Pause. You know that look when someone looks like the vein in their head’s gonna explode and they pinch the bridge of his nose? That’s the Collision General Manager right now.
Luthor Callaway: Alright, alright. Hang on.
He brings his phone to his shoulder and turns to Calypso.
Luthor Callaway: Ms. Bates, I apologize. I need to take this real quick. Make yourself comfortable and have a look over the paperwork. I’ll be back shortly.
With that, he turns right to Leina and leans down, booping her on the nose with an index finger.
Luthor Callaway: You! Behave, Little Badass.
Playfully, he pulls her Happy mask down over her face before excusing himself out of the office. She’s not even able to get a word in! Leina huffs and decides keeping her mask on is probably the better idea. She leans back against the black leather and folds her arms across her chest, trying to keep herself quiet… for now. Calypso looks at the papers, then at Leina, then at the papers again. After what seems like a lifetime, she looks back up and nods to the young girl.
Calypso Bates: Hi, Leina.
The little one looks through her mask and huffs. A part of her wanted to unpause Smash Ultimate and just focus on the game. However, she hasn’t seen Calypso in a long time. The last time was when her Uncle Jesse left with her on that strange vacation.
Leina Rael: Hmph.
Calypso nods acceptingly.
Calypso Bates: It’s ok, I deserve that and probably more…
Leina Rael: Lu told me to behave.
Leina slightly adjusts herself on the chair.
Leina Rael: And I don’t want Pops to ground me again.
Calypso nods.
Calypso Bates: I understand. I didn’t expect to be here and I’m sorry I’ve made this awkward for you.
Leina Rael: Look, I ain’t about to get into trouble for running my mouth again. Just do what you gotta do and GTFO. Word?
Oh, Leina’s patience is certainly tested. There’s a part of her that honestly doesn’t want any kind of confrontation with Calypso -- not because she’s afraid, but because there’s too much at stake. It can and will erupt like a volcano.
Calypso Bates: I can’t just leave you here by yourself. What kind of irresponsible asshole…
She pauses and then nods sadly.
Calypso Bates: Right… nevermind that one…
She quickly pulls out her phone, checks it quickly, and then sighs heavily before putting it away. Leina sharply glares at her through the mask before she looks away.
Leina Rael: You don’t want me to talk to you. Trust me, all the mad shit I’d say that you fuckin’ deserve…
The little lady sharply exhales through her nostrils.
Leina Rael: ...I’ll be fine. I’m learning self-defense, Lu will be back soon, and Mom and Pops aren’t far away.
Calypso nods as she finds a chair to look at the papers.
Calypso Bates: You’re right, I would deserve it, but you can’t possibly say anything that would be worse than what I said to myself already.
Leina Rael: Wanna bet?
It’s a little out of left field. Still, with the camera on and the Collision General Manager likely close by, she really doesn’t want to go any further. She swivels the chair away from Calypso and brings her Switch into her hands to play the time away. Anything to stay out of trouble.
Calypso Bates: Okay… but I’m not leaving because your uncle would never forgive me and… since… he’s… one of two people who…
Calypso trails off and looks away, trying not to just start sobbing. Leina’s head slightly turns, her eyes narrowing, but otherwise, she doesn’t say anything. Despite how angry she is with Calypso, she really doesn’t want to get in trouble.
Calypso Bates: Sorry… it just hit me what I’m holding…
Leina Rael: ...what?
Calypso Bates: The papers to pay for Valkyrie’s care… that she might…
Calypso squeezes her eyes shut.
Calypso Bates: Get a grip, Cali. Robi’s gonna be alright… she’s gonna be alright…
Leina shifts a little, uncomfortable. Since she was grounded at the time of the incident, she heard about what happened to Robi through her parents. Her eyes stay on the Switch while she speaks.
Leina Rael: ...I don’t know who she is, but I’ve heard she’s strong. She’ll get through this.
Calypso nods at the girl.
Calypso Bates: She is. One of the strongest people I’ve ever met.
Despite being turned away, it seems like Leina wants to say something. She somehow stops herself from saying a word, however, letting out a sigh and focusing on her game.
Calypso Bates: You’re doing good not lashing out. I’d say I’ll make sure Mister Callaway knows, but I’m pretty sure it’s not necessary.
She pauses and then nods in acknowledgement.
Calypso Bates: And I know you wouldn’t want me to anyway.
Leina Rael: I don’t need you to speak for me.
It’s a little bit of a forward response, but Leina keeps her temper checked. Before either of them can get another word out, the office door opens and Luthor Callaway returns, sliding his phone back into his pocket. He closes the door behind himself and takes one look between the two like he knows something’s up.
Luthor Callaway: Everything alright here?
He circles around to his desk, and when Leina trades seats, he finally takes his appropriate seat. Calypso nods and stands up.
Calypso Bates: Yes sir, everything appears to be in order. Thank you.
She turns and takes her leave of the office, beating a hasty retreat from the awkward situation. With Calypso no longer present, Leina finally looks up from her Switch and lets out a breath she’s been holding.
Leina Rael: Ugh… that was hard.
Luthor looks at the little lady and chuckles. She sets up her Switch for them to play Smash Ultimate before the perspective changes.
==========================================================
Match #3/Singles
Jessi Ozborne vs. Mr. Shakedown
Jessi is immediately dubious about locking up with the massive Shakedown, who swipes at her angrily with his meaty hand, trying to either take hold of her or knock her loopy. She ducks and dodges, using her speed and lighting Shakedown up with kicks to the legs and ribs. He comes within a hair of smashing her a time or two, but can’t quite catch her. Jessi at one point swings up around his arm for a possible crucifix but quickly realizes her error, instead driving a few elbows into the side of his head before dropping, lest he get hold of her. When she whips around, though, he shoves her hard to the mat and almost decapitates her with a big kick. Were it not for the youngster dropping to the mat fast… that very well could have happened. From the apron, she jumps up and grabs his head with the help of the second rope and drops down with all her might, snapping his throat over the top strand. Shakedown is reeling and a top-rope dropkick to the back doesn’t help that. Shakedown is doubled over and Jessi nails an axe kick, following with a springboard stunner. Shakedown is still on his feet, but teetering like an axed tree. Jessi nails him with a bicycle knee, and takes Shakedown to her level. From there, a slingshot DDT levels him and The End finishes the brutish monster, giving Ozborne a big, pun intended, win!
Winner: Jessi Ozborne
Result: Pinfall
Result: Pinfall
==========================================================
"Separate Ways" by Journey hits as the crowd comes to life...Griffin Hawkins makes his way down in his usual wrestling gear, red fringe leather pants and white leather fingerless gloves.Jim Reynolds: Hawkins is out here...and it looks like he's dressed to compete!
Nick Hanson: That's strange...he's not even on the card. I didn't even know he was here tonight?!
Jim Reynolds: Well maybe now we'll get some answers to what happened to him on the last Collision!
He gets in the ring, grabbing a microphone as the music ends. He goes to speak but is nearly drowned out with cheers. He nods to them before speaking.
Griffin Hawkins: Anyone who knows me, knows that I never miss a match. It doesn't matter how tired I am, how I hurt I am, or how sick I'm feeling...I come out here and prove to the world why I am the best in the business today. But as you all saw..for the first time in my career, I didn't wrestle my scheduled match. And why? Because some coward had to jump me from behind..knocking me out..and taking me out of the match in the process. So who was it?....
The crowd begins booing, knowing who it was.
Griffin Hawkins: I know what you cats are gonna say...it was Hayley Halsey. I mean...who would have the most to benefit from taking me out? The world knows that Hayley is scared of me. She does not want to face me one on one..let alone a Triple Threat Match because she knows deep down inside that I'll do EVERYTHING to get that title back. And before this is all over, I will be the first ever two time NFW Perseverance Champion. So was she the one who took me out last week?...the answer is....no.
The crowd is surprised.
Jim Reynolds: See, I told you it wasn't her! Our champion wouldn't stoop that low to attack someone backstage! It has to be one of those Zion scumbags!
Griffin Hawkins: I managed to get my hands on some footage of the last Collision. So all you guys in the truck...play what happened!
On the tron they see Griffin backstage, pacing back and forth. He puts on his trademark leather jacket as he's about to head for the arena. But into the shot comes a huge man which looks to be Curtis Hughes. He has what looks to be a 2x4 as he sneaks up behind Griffin. In one swing of the lumber, he connects with the back of Hawkins' head as he collapses to the floor. He throws the wood aside and slowly walks away. The crowd immediately boos.
Nick Hanson: I knew it! I knew Hayley was somehow involved in this!
Jim Reynolds: What are you talking about? Hughes could've acted alone..maybe Hawkins insulted him sometime earlier…
Nick Hanson: Open your eyes Reynolds! Everyone knows Hughes is Hayley's muscle!
Griffin Hawkins: See, Hayley was telling the truth all along. She was right..for the first time ever she was being truthful. She didn't do it...but her bodyguard did. And this is not coincidental...Hayley will do anyhting to get out of giving me a title match. She tried bribing me, she tried getting drafted to this brand..this is an act of desperation. Hughes is nothing more than Hayley's puppet. She pulls the strings and he dances. It's completely obvious that she sent him to attack me so I wouldn't make it to the Triple Threat. I hate to disappoint her, but it's going to take more than some jacked up meathead to make me go away. So Hayley, I know you're back there...I want you right here one on one for that Perseverance Title! I'm not leaving this ring until you get your chickenshit ass out here!
He begins pacing, waiting for Hayley. "Good Girls Gone Bad" hits the PA system as the crowd boos loud for the reigning Perseverance Champion Hayley Halsey, accompanied by her bodyguard Curtis Hughes and her boyfriend Jason Brooks.
Hayley Halsey: Griffin...you....
A "Hayely Sucks" chant breaks out, interrupting her.
Hayley Halsey: I HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO SAY, SHUT UP!
The crowd boos as she tries to maintain her composure.
Hayley Halsey: Griffin, I am sick and tired of you disrespecting me! I thought after Wrestlewar you would have learned your lesson, but you haven't learned anything! It's time someone teaches you some manners!
She takes her title off her shoulder and gives it to Hughes to hold.
Hayley Halsey: It's time someone puts you in your place...and that someone..is my man Jason!
Jason Brooks stops looking towards the ring and looks to Hayley confused.
Nick Hanson: ...what?...Griffin is gonna wrestle.....him?
Hayley Halsey: My man..who is TWICE the man you are is sick and tired of sitting idly by while you run my name into the ground..he's angry..and he's going to defend my honor!
Jason stops her, asking what she's doing. She takes his hand, giving him words of encouragement.
Hayley Halsey: You got this babe..you can do this, I believe in you. Now go down there and teach him a lesson he'll never forget!
She gives him a kiss which motivates him as he takes off his tank top and heads to the ring.
Nick Hanson: ..you have got to be kidding me...this kid is really gonna step in the ring with Hawkins? This is going to be like watching a Lion maul a Chipmunk…
Jim Reynolds: Okay I know this looks like a mismatch..but love can you make do impossible things. Maybe he's got a chance..
Nick Hanson: Will you open your eyes?! This is more than a mismatch! Hawkins is a legend in this sport..someone who has captured titles in various organizations all over the world and has fought the best in the industry. This kid has never been in a wrestling ring in his life! He does not get that the love of his life has thrown him to the wolves just to save herself!
Hawkins has his hand over his face, not believing this is actually happening. Jason steps between the ropes and into the ring, jumping in place as if he's ready to fight.
~DING DING DING~
The bell rings as Hawkins is seen telling him "Kid, you need to get out of here, this isn't for you." But he says no. He even offers Jason to lie down for him so he can take the pin and not get hurt, but Jason says no, mouthing "I don't want no pity win!" and begins shoving Hawkins. He tries to tell him not to do this and to leave the ring now before he gets hurt..but he shoves him again. Hawkins looks to be getting impatient and tries to leave...but Jason slaps him across the face! He shouts at him to stop being a coward and fight.
Nick Hanson: ...oooh that was a mistake.
Jason looks back to Hayley on the ramp, shouting "This one's for you cuddle bug!" but as he turns around he is hit with The Shot In The Dark!
Jim Reynolds: Whoa!
Nick Hanson: Jason is out!
Jason isn't moving! Hawkins rolls his eyes and grumbles as he gets down, hooking the leg,
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
~DING DING DING~
TWO!
THREE!
~DING DING DING~
Roger Arden: Here is your winner..Griffin Hawkins!
Hayley comes down and pulls a groggy Jason out of the ring. He has no idea where he's at as he keeps asking "Did I win?" as her and Hughes take him back up the ramp. Hayley glares back at Hawkins before making her way to the locker room with the others.
==========================================================
The lights go down as "VICTIM" by HEALTH drones four times. The drone continues to fade in and out, as it's now accompanied by on queue bass drum kicks, four to a bar. The drone gets louder as vocals creep in.Know we're never gonna feel the same as it was today
Know we're never gonna feel again, but I still wake up and lie to myself
Love, your love, it's not enough
Love, your love, it's not enough
Know we're never gonna feel again, but I still wake up and lie to myself
Love, your love, it's not enough
Love, your love, it's not enough
Following "VICTIM," "TEARS" kicks in and the lights come on to reveal the former Genesis Champion, Katelin Descarrilado, in her circular sunglasses and medical mask, donned in all black. She raises her arms up and out, almost in a wingspan. Jake Duzsik's vocals literally echo throughout the Collision Center as Descarrilado saunters down to the ring, almost in time to HEALTH's notes.
Roger Arden: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Denver, Colorado, weighing in at 138 pounds, she is the Devil In The Details... KATELIIIIIN DESCARRILAAAAAAAAADOOOOOO!
Through Arden's announcement, Katelin has acquired a microphone of her own after her slow march to ringside. Descarrilado rolls into the ring, turning it on along the way as "TEARS" softens. The crowd boos Katelin quite heavily, as apparently being blown up isn't enough of a punishment for some people. Katelin removes her mask and, with a macabre smirk, lifts the mic.
Katelin Descarrilado: "As I have abhorred you, Chicago. The sooner this company begins travelling again, the better."
More boos from the Chicagoan audience.
Katelin Descarrilado: "Though admittedly, I've not quite been getting my way recently, so I'm not exactly gonna hold my breath for this either. I may as well have left the mask on."
The Devil In The Details shrugs a little before beginning her diatribe to those same boos.
Katelin Descarrilado: "But much as I enjoy hearing your anguish, that's not why I'm out here. Katie Anderson, don't we have the history? I made my debut in a triple threat match that you won. Following that, I attacked you because I believed in the dogma of "eye for an eye." Which is what I based my entire Genesis Championship reign on. You got your receipt for that in August, meaning that officially speaking, you are the only wrestler I have a losing record against."
The crowd cheers a little bit at the mention of one of their heroes having one-up on one of their villains.
Katelin Descarrilado: "Since Cruel Summer happened, and since you took the Genesis Championship... we've garnered a modicum of respect towards one another. Do not misunderstand me, though. I don't like you. And you don't like me. That isn't going to change any time soon. You and I are incapable of being friends. But I respect your drive. You didn't give up, even when the odds were against you. Nice going."
Descarrilado gives a golf clap, though not a sarcastic one... before pausing mid-clap.
Katelin Descarrilado: "But you lost the title to Alexandra Caldwell before the draft sent her to Trauma, didn't you?"
The Devil In The Details lowers her applause before looking right to the hard cam.
Katelin Descarrilado: "For shame. I wanted you to be the next great Genesis Champion. I wanted you to surpass me in every single way once you grabbed the brass ring. And you did in terms of length, and some of this may be due to the VBMT... but I still hold most defenses. You defended the title four times, which isn't bad. That's the goal I set out to beat, after all. But even with the losing record... I still got that one-up on you. And I know what you may be thinking. What does that matter? Well... you were one of my defenses, weren't you? Dirty as it was, I do have a victory over you. Tonight I aim to prove that I don't need help to beat you one-on-one. You beat me in a triple threat match, you beat me in a four-way match... but you can't quite beat me one-on-one, can you? And thus is your true challenge."
Descarrilado turns off the microphone and slides it to the timekeeper before readying herself for her longest-running rival.

Match #4/Singles
Katelin Descarrilado vs. Katie Anderson
The bell rang and the crowd was ready to see this one get underway! The long awaited one on one between Anderson and Descarrilado. The crowd got a chant of “Let’s go Katie” clap, clap, clap-clap-clap going. The Beautiful One was all smiles, getting the fans amped up as she motioned to the support she had to Katelin. The Devil In The Details remained stone faced and focused, ready to get things moving. Still sporting some visible marks from her brutal match at Wrestle War 18 but she looked intense and ready to go. Finally, the two stepped in for a lockup and Descarrilado pushed Anderson back into the ropes using her power until the referee called for the break. Both women raised their hands and Descarrilado stepped back, reaching out to give Anderson…a little pat on the cheek. This got a boo from the crowd and Anderson got a little angry, about to lunge forward but the ref stopped her and had them both go back to the center to continue.
The two circled up again and stepped in for a lockup but this time, Descarrilado slipped around behind Anderson for a rear waistlock, trying to keep the pace of the match to her liking. Anderson thumbed her hands down under Descarrilado’s wrists and broke the hold, catching one and twisted one of Katelin’s arms into an arm wringer. Descarrilado rolled forward, out of it and reversed the hold and pulled her up into an Arm Wrench Samoan Drop. She quickly turned over and caught Anderson in a grounded side headlock, keeping the pace slow and methodical but Anderson pushed her way up to her feet and shoved Descarrilado into the ropes. As she bounced back, Anderson went for a high spinning roundhouse that Desarrilado ducked under and came back with a big shoulder block. Anderson managed to stay on her feet and motioned for Descarrilado to hit her again, pointing to the ropes. The Devil In The Details hit the ropes and came back in with another big shoulder tackle that caused The Beautiful One to stumble. Now, Descarrilado was motioning for Anderson to have a go. Katie hit the ropes and ran in hard with a shoulder tackle of her own. Descarrilado stumbled a bit and motioned for her to go again. So Katie did. Again. And again. And again. Finally, Katie geared herself up, yelled to the fans and hit the ropes, coming in like a bat out of hell. Descarrilado was waiting, this time, and snatched Anderson right off her feet, driving her into the mat with a snapping scoop powerslam and a cover attempt!
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Katelin lifted right up into a kneeling posture and rained down a series of elbows across Katie’s head until the ref caught her holding the hair and made her break. Descarrilado made a lap around her opponent, performing the Garvin Stomp to her limbs and head. Next, she picked her up and attempted a Snap Suplex but Anderson blocked the lift with her leg. She went for one of her own but Katelin pulled out of it and hit her with a forearm to the jaw. Anderson stuck her with one right back and Descarrilado rocked her with a second one before grabbing her head for a Bulldog but Anderson shoved her off of her and right into the ropes. Katelin caught the ropes to stop her momentum but when she turned around, there came Katie with a big running dropkick to send her over the top and to the floor. Anderson was getting fired up now as she got back to her feet, got a running start and came off the otherside of the ropes for a big Tope Suicida that sent her and Descarrilado crashing to the floor. The referee started the count and Anderson wasted no time getting Descarrilado rolled back into the ring before climbing to the top turnbuckle from the outside. She shot for a top rope moonsault but Katelin got her knees up BUT Katie scouted that and landed on her feet and went right into a jumping knee drop to the Ice Queen’s head. Anderson picked Descarrilado up and hooked the arms. Butterfly Suplex! Cover!
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Descarrilado kicked out and Anderson stepped back immediately, looking for the Bad Street Blues (Curbstomp) but as she ran in for it, Katelin shot up and nailed her in the throat with a chop as she came down. The referee gave the warning as Katie gasped for breath but Katelin stayed on the offense, grabbing her by the wrist and leveling her with the Oredigger (Arm Wrench Lariat)! She got to her feet and quickly grabbed Katie’s legs, locking her into the Death March (Elevated Boston Crab w/A Knee to the Neck). It was the knee to the neck of the gasping Katie that scored Descarrilado the victory as Anderson tapped the mat, still trying to get her breath back.
Winner: Katelin Descarrilado

Collision switches over to a static screen that flickers a few times before coming back with the Second City Riot Squad in a dimly lit area. It’s evident by their surroundings that they are not present in the Vlad Blackheart Colosseum. Neither Leah Aguero nor Layla Diaz are dressed in their usual ring gear, instead sporting street clothes.Leah Aguero: Miss us? Clearly not enough. It seems abundantly clear that Second City Riot Squad isn’t respected around these parts. Ain’t that right, Diaz?
Layla Diaz: Fa sho.
Leah Aguero: We spent 2021 making opportunities for ourselves. We never got any handouts. We scraped and clawed our way into every opportunity that was afforded to us. We ended 2021 in the biggest way possible. The Last of the Valkyries challenged the Second City Riot Squad to a Best of Seven Series that culminated at Wrestle War in which SCRS stood tall. We proved that we are THE tag team here in NFW. But where’d that get us? Left off the card? Last of the Valkyries taking home a Best Tag Team of the Year for a second time in a row?
Layla Diaz: Wassup wit dat?!
Leah Aguero: Wassup wit dat, indeed. Time and time again we prove ourselves only to turn around and be disrespected. So we took matters into our own hands. The Second City Riot Squad once again made an opportunity for themselves. We rolled up into Zion Wrestling and took their Trios Titles. That’s right. Diaz, Coffey and I hold the rival company’s straps. But don’t go jumping for joy just yet NFW. We didn’t do it for you. We did it for ourselves. We don’t get respect, we take respect. We see something we want, we straight up take it.
Layla Diaz: Straight up. L an I ain’t fraid ta say wuts on are minds an we’s gots a lot ta say. Tell em, L.
Leah Aguero: NFW, you and Zion have started yourselves a little war but you’re going to have to look elsewhere for support. The Second City Riot Squad will be sitting here on the sidelines as you two companies destroy each other. When we see fit, we’ll step in and pick apart what’s left of both of you.
Layla Diaz: We ain’t scurred a nuttin. We puttin all yall on notice.
Leah Aguero: That’s right. We’ve been disrespected for far too long and it’s time to take matters into our hands. It don’t matter who you are. It don’t matter what you’ve done or where you’ve been. SCRS is putting every tag team in NFW on notice. We’re going to take what’s ours. Queen’s Guard, Regulators, even The Last of the Valkyries for the umpteenth time. We don’t care if you represent a bigger faction because we’ve taken on bigger. Cornbread Mafia, Crusade, First Class Bitches? You can find out first hand just what Second City Riot Squad is all about. Even you, Career Killaz. Just because you slap a new name on yourselves everywhere you go, it doesn’t mean you’ve changed. All Eyez Aren’t On You anymore. They are soon to be on the SCRS. And then you, Gallus Mag. You already know we ain’t no strangers. We’ve been up and down that road more times than I can count fighting each other. Here in NFW, though, you might hold a win over us but that was then and this is now. Clench those tag straps tight because, when the time comes, we’re taking them belts back.
Layla Diaz: Dey finna look mighty fine sittin right next ta dem Zion Wrestling Trios straps. Jus yous wait.
Leah Aguero: NFW? Their blood is on your hands.
The feed flickers back and forth between static before finally returning back to the Vlad Blackheart Colosseum.
==========================================================
Nick Hanson: Before Rei Park versus Jimmy Bones kicks off, I’d like to point everyone towards the NFW video wall to watch a short clip recorded earlier today.The screen blinks from its typical NFW Collision graphics to reveal a close-up smartphone video of Cass Baumer from home!
Cass Baumer: Kia ora! Hey, guys! I’m sorry I can’t be there to fight Rei Park like I planned. I’m sure she’ll do great!
She gave a thumbs up, though she winched in pain right after.
Cass Baumer: I’ll keep this short and sweet, ‘cause I don’t wanna hold anybody up tonight. At Zion Wrestling Friday Night Fusion Episode 28, I fought the “Zenith of Zion” Daria Dorsey in the main event for their World Heavyweight Championship. Needless to say, it was a back-and-forth match. I did the best I could but in the end, Daria beat me fair and square.
She thinks for a second, scratching at a gauze bandage wrapped around her head.
Cass Baumer: I don’t know if the anons out there are proud of me or disappointed in how I did out there, but… Well, I’m burying the lede here, aren’t I?
Cass sighs.
Cass Baumer: I thought I would be able to stand out there in the Vlad Blackheart Coliseum with the Zion Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship tonight. I’d raise it high, talked about my match with Rei Park, and we woulda dealt a MAJOR blow to #KorruptKai and all his thug cronies!! I’d have made everyone proud. Even my brother, who tragically—
She stops herself, her eyes starting to water as she almost starts to blubber out the words. She sucks it up, though!
Cass Baumer: That’s not what happened, though. I failed. And afterward, Ravyn Nightshade, Olivia Nightshade, Maki Megumi, and Diamond Steele all attacked me four-on-one when I was already exhausted. Daria just let it happen. Then Kai Morgan made his big obnoxious speech before firing me on the spot.
Though she tries to keep the tears from coming, it doesn’t work. Cass is sobbing. Though, there’s fire in her eyes!
Cass Baumer: A grade 1 concussion, bruised ribs, and a herniated disk can’t frickin’ take me out forever! I ain’t dead yet! I’m gonna make all y’all Zion Wrestling assholes pay for what you’ve done to me - what you’ve done to all of us! You can’t hide from the truth, and you sure as hell can’t hide from The Headliner!!
She shouts the words with passion and energy, although she’s still seated on her couch with an ice pack on her abdomen.
Cass Baumer: I’ll be back soon but in the meantime… don’t do anything I wouldn’t do, kay?
With that, the video cuts off.

We cut backstage to Jessi Ozborne taking off down the hallway, her eye’s still widened with shock and disbelief after the result of her match tonight! She scurries down the corridor, before running into Ami Fitzsimmons. Despite her surprised delight, she still takes the time to stop next to her for questioning.Ami Fitzsimmons: Ah, bonjour, Mademoiselle Ozbourne.
She politely bows towards the newest addition to the Collision roster.
Ami Fitzsimmons: Congratulations on your victory over Monsieur Shakedown. How are you feeling?
Jessi is a sputtering mess, her excitement hindering her from coming out with a coherent sentence.
Jessi Ozborne: I-I mean-I can’t-I can’t believe I just-AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
Ami recoils, favoring her ear after nearly being deafened by the excited, squealing scream of Jessi! She immediately shows remorse for the auditory disturbance she caused the interviewer.
Jessi Ozborne: Oh sorry, sorry! But like…did you SEE me out there?! Mr. Shakedown was over there like “Oh my god, I’m gonna beat you!” and I was like “Oh my god, I’m so nervous. You’re probably gonna beat me.” and then he was like BLAM! SLAM! KA-BLAM! And I was “Ugggghhh I’m in pain”, but then I was like WHAM! BOOM! BAM! And then I was like “Hey, maybe I’m onto something” and then I pinned him and Heather Young was like “1, 2, 3!” and I was like “Wait, 1, 2, 3?!” and she was like “Yes! 1, 2, 3!” and I was like…like…AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Ami recoils once again from Jessi’s excited screaming!
Ami Fitzsimmons: M-mademoiselle, desolé. I understand you’re excited, but…
Jessi immediately begins to profusely apologize once more, until Katie Anderson walks into frame, interrupting them both.
Katie Anderson: Did I walk in at a bad time?
Jessi steps back a bit, surprised as to who just approached her.
Jessi Ozborne: Uh…no! No! I’m just getting a little amped is all!
Ami reads the room, opting to back away from these two and letting them carry on their conversation uninhibited. Katie looks at Jessi with a slightly concerned look.
Katie Anderson: Calm down there kid, you'll blow a gasket. Hey…. aren't you the one who didn't know who I am? It doesn't surprise me that you're all over the place.
Katie chuckles softly. Jessi chuckles along nervously, not really knowing what to say in response.
Jessi Ozborne: Yeah, I just…
Katie Anderson: You're new to the business, I can forgive the mistake. But if you want to make it around here, maybe you should ask around about who I am. Just some friendly advice.
Jessi Ozborne: Well, I kinda just proved out there that I can make it around here…no questions asked…so…
Jessi begins to chuckle nervously once again, this time building a little more confidence. Katie rolls her eyes and smirks.
Katie Anderson: One match doesn't prove anything kid, when you beat some of the top people in this or any promotion, or when you win a title, then you can talk to me about making it. Until then, you ain't done shit.
Jessi looks a little baffled at the semi-aggressive response she just got from the former Genesis Champion. Her facial expression begins to read with a slight tinge of anger now, as her next response sees a bit of the seeds of Kai Morgan coming out in her.
Jessi Ozborne: And when YOU learn to hold onto a title for any amount of time that’s worth a damn, then YOU can talk to me about respect…look forward to seeing your match tonight though…
Jessi gives Katie a pat on the shoulder, before attempting to walk off. Katie grabs Jessi by the arm, a wicked smirk on her face as she looks her directly in the eyes.
Katie Anderson: Watch yourself kid, or I might have to teach you a lesson in respect….The hard way. You need to learn who you're talking to before you let your alligator mouth write checks your hummingbird ass can't cash.
Katie holds on tightly for a few more seconds before letting go with a light shove. The camera follows Jessi as the scene comes to a close with her speaking to herself under her breath.
Jessi Ozborne: I’ll show your ass a hummingbird…
Jessi saunders off as we fade to the next scene.
