NFW Trauma #63! 03/19/2022!

We cut backstage to show none other than the resident sleezeball interview of NFW, Kensaku Rodell. He is standing in front of a banner promoting Next week’s supershow March Mayhem.

Kensaku Rodell: WHAT UP Y’ALL!? It’s ya boy, Rodeezy here with another HOT interview. I am about to be joined by the one and only Lana Corvin.

He is interrupted by a throat clearing off-screen.

Kensaku Rodell: Oh shit, my bad! One half of the XIX Tag Team Champions, Lana Corvin!

On cue, Lana Corvin strolled into the frame. She was in her ring gear and fuzzy entrance coat. Around her waist, with her hands resting on it, was her half of the XIX Tag Team Titles. She had that typical arrogant Corvin look on her face.

Kensaku Rodell: Yeah that is the shit right there! Corvin with gold around their waist. The best!

Lana rolls her eyes and gives Rodell a look.

Lana Corvin: Quit kissing ass and get on with it.

Rodell takes half a step back, unsure if Lana will strike out at him.

Kensaku Rodell: Okay, okay, I gotchu. Tonight you have to face off against Marco Valentine. The man who thinks he is the Legit Ladies Man, though we all know that is ya boy here. I’ve seen you had some words for him. You got anymore tonight?

Lana’s lip curled at the mention of Valentine’s name. She licks her lips and nods.

Lana Corvin: You’re damn right I do. That waste of space, misogynistic, piece of shit has got a WORLD of hurt comin his way tonight. Like, you could look up Misogynist in the dictionary and you would see a picture of him. Sittin there callin me babe then fucking gaslighting me when I tell him not to and want the respect I deserve? Issy and Brody should consider themselves lucky if I don’t end his fucking career tonight.

Rodell stares at Lana as she goes off. A small look of concern on his face. He just nods slightly.

Kensaku Rodell: Oh damn. Yeah, I feel you. I feel you. Since we got March Mayhem next week, you lookin forward to adding more cold to your waist?

Lana smirks and pats the XIX Tag Title around her waist.

Lana Corvin: Of course I am. Look who you are fucking talking to. Of course I am gonna be adding another title to my waist. Gonna come out to the ring with one over each shoulder. Not only do I get to end a title reign at March Mayhem, I get to end a streak. A Corvin doing what Corvins do best. Shatter the dreams of lesser wrestlers. Your streak is kind of impressive. I won’t lie, Alexandra. But you see, there is one simple little thing about it.

Lana looks into the camera and gives another smirk.

Lana Corvin: You ain’t faced a Corvin yet. So, enjoy your little streak while you can. Next week, it ends.

Rodell had been nodding enthusiastically the whole time.

Kensaku Rodell: Yeah! Shit yeah! That’s the shit I like. Badass bitch tellin it like it fuckin is! Shit yeah fam! What else ya got? Hit ya boy with it.

Lana takes the mic from Rodell and steps towards the camera.

Lana Corvin: Alexandra I know it’s cliche but if a sayin ain’t broke don’t fix it. You need to make sure you got that Genesis title nice and ready for me. I don’t care what match type we get assigned. It doesn’t matter. I’m a Corvin going into a title match. It’s academic at this point. Just remember this little fact for me when it’s all said and done Alexandra. When Corvins win, It Ain’t Luck.

Lana gives a little wink to the camera. She then tosses the mic back to Rodell and walks off as the scene fades.

Yuka Hirata vs. Nathaniel Dixon

This match starts off a little heated as Yuka and Nathaniel come to the center of the ring. Yuka’s already slinging shade while Nathaniel just smiles smugly at the young woman. Things finally pop off when Yuka sticks a finger up in Nathaniel’s face. He swats her hand away, losing his smile and is in the middle of saying something back to her when Yuka just open hand smacks him right across the face. Demeaningly. Nathaniel cocks back and swings for a shot but Yuka jukes underneath and catches him with a spinning thrust kick. The first kick of many that she throws into his legs and midsection. Nathaniel takes each one in stride and shoots for a a discus lariat but Yuka jukes underneath and as he turns back around, she catches him right in the face with a Pele Kick! Dixon goes down, Yuka kips up and hits the ropes for a springboard moonsault and hooks the leg.


Yuka gets to her feet, taunting Nathaniel as she starts booting and slapping him across the head. The Lord of Charisma starts to look rather annoyed at the young woman’s arrogant behavior. He makes it up to his feet and catches her hand for a slap, answering with a forearm between her jaw and neck. Yuka stumbles back, rolling her neck and blinks for a moment before sucking it up and just screams back in the man’s face. Nathaniel yells back at her to come on and she fires back with a forearm on him at the same spot. Nathaniel staggers back in a circle and blasts her right back, sending her into the ropes. She screams at him again and throws a forearm back. Nathaniel fires back again. Yuka answers. Nathaniel throws another forearm.Yuka throws one. Nathaniel! Yuka! Nathaniel! Yuka! Nathaniel! Yuka! Nathaniel grabs her behind the head and just starts rapid firing forearms to her. Yuka sways, dazed now and Nathaniel hits the ropes. Yuka drops down and pops up. Nathaniel comes off the ropes again. Yuka bends down. Nathaniel leap frogs but quickly pivots on the landing so that when Yuka comes up, he catches her under the arms for a Dragon Suplex with a bridge!


Now it’s Nathaniel standing over Yuka, leaning over the girl as he taunts her, slapping her across the head and booting her in the head. Yuka explodes up for a right hand but Nathaniel parries with a forearm and pops her right in the eye with a thumb. The referee chastises him for it but he grabs Yuka and starts throwing knees from a clinch, backing her into a corner. The referee starts counting to five and Nathaniel whips Yuka across the ring, into a corner. He’s right on her tail with a big corner clothesline that almost sends her up and out of the ring but her feet come down and he lifts her up onto the turnbuckle. Nathaniel climbs up and starts to set up for a Superplex but Yuka tries to fight out of it. Nathaniel fights back and the two trade punches until he just headbutts the young woman in the head, finally grabbing her and Superplexing her down to the mat. He goes for a cover.


The Intellectual Evolution shakes his head as he pulls The Red Wolf up by her hair. He’s not finished with her yet. He picks her up for a Death Valley Driver but as he goes for it, Yuka rolls through and lands on her feet. Nathaniel turns and Yuka catches him with a superkick to the jaw. He staggers away, turns and Yuka explodes forward with a Shotgun Dropkick, sending him into the corner. Nathaniel staggers forward again and Yuka shoots for the legs, taking the man down and goes right into a Ground & Pound. The referee finally stops her when she gets a hold of his hair and just keeps wailing away. She runs off the ropes as Nathaniel sits up and hits a Basement Dropkick, kipping up with a look of fury on her face. She waits for Nathaniel to get up and starts laying into him with Ookami No Koushou (Black Out Combo). She goes for the final knee but Nathaniel drops back, sending her past and stumbles up to his feet again. Yuka turns around and Nathaniel bursts forward with Uncharismatic (Mafia Kick). Yuka jukes out of the way and Nathaniel turns around into another Ookami No Koushou and this time she gets all of it!! She covers!!


Yuka sits up on her knees and slaps the mat, screaming again. She pulls Nathaniel up again and he all of a sudden catches her out of nowhere with Evolutionary Imperative (European Uppercut)! Yuka staggers back and hits the mat! Nathaniel starts approaching but it’s here that Kayako Kazama climbs up onto the apron, pointing and yelling about “how very mean” Nathaniel is! The referee goes over to order Kayako off the apron. Nathaniel quickly goes on the defense, having seen this before and he turns just in time to see Masami Nishikiyama in the ring and running at him for a lariat. He catches her with a Japanese Armdrag but from behind, Yuka nails him with a low blow! She immediately grabs him in a Full Nelson and pushes him towards the ropes where Kaede Tanabe climbs up with her pepper spray in hand. When she goes to spray it, however, Nathaniel has enough fortitude to pull himself down and the stream of spray hits Yuka right in the eyes! She lets Nathaniel go and staggers back. Nathaniel grabs at Kaede but the manager drops down off the apron, landing on her feet but one of her high heels snaps and she falls to the floor. Nathaniel turns, furious now and runs across the ring just as the referee happens to move away just enough that he’s able to nail Kayako Kazama with another Uncharismatic, sending her flying off the apron and into the barricade! He spins around and before the referee can begin to wonder why Yuka’s rubbing her eyes, he runs in and catches her with The London Eye (Front Flip DDT)! Yuka sits up from the impact rebound and Nathaniel twists around on the mat, locking on So Very Sinful (Pentagram Choke)! Yuka struggles to get free but her eyes are burning so bad, she just wants this over with and she starts tapping!


Nathaniel holds the lock on for a few more seconds just to get his point across before letting go and Masami pulls her out of the ring. Kaede stands up, holding her shoes in her hands now, absolutely livid about her broken heel to which we can see Nathaniel mouth “Bill me, love!” Masami goes to collect Kayako next and comes back carrying the woman over her shoulder like an upset child as SBS leave ringside and Nathaniel celebrates his victory.

Trauma cuts to Casey Holliday in the hallway. She’s finding herself in quite a good mood considering her victory last week and knowing that she is one win away from getting the challenge that she wants in Coda certainly has her in some brighter spirits as she begins to express her thoughts

Casey Holliday: One down, one to go. I DID manage to beat Jessi… and I’m not going to speak for all of that other crap because that crap isn’t important to me whatsoever. The bottomline is that I got the victory that I needed to get and that is all that matters. All I have to do now is beat Zara Ivory and I got my match. Yet, there is one question that has kept coming to mind over the last week. It’s something that quite frankly, has been a bit bothersome considering all the lip service Coda has given me on Twitter. That question is a simple one. Where the hell has Coda been lately?

Suddenly, the good mood that she found herself in when the camera came on her more or less becomes an expression of annoyance on her face.

Casey Holliday: She was nowhere to be found last Trauma and over the last week, she hasn’t made any sort of statement whatsoever about the situation between us. I haven’t seen her drop even one tweet. She has disappeared entirely. She has, more or less, become a ghost just the same way the Ringmaster was when I was dealing with his dumbass. What’s the matter, Coda? Are you intimidated by me? Are you realizing that you are in over your head after all? You thought that by throwing roadblocks in my way, you might get to avoid facing me, or so it seemed, and yet through all of this, I am one win away from facing you next week. Did you seriously think that I was going to lose to Jessi? Is that it? Hell, what’s the logic behind Zara Ivory? That’s something I’d like to know. No disrespect to the girl or anything, but that’s a pretty damn random choice. I thought maybe you would want to throw a Shieldmaiden like Ashley Kenyon in my direction or something, but Zara Ivory?

Is she just your pawn to throw me off my game or something? Are you thinking that maybe I might underestimate her so that I can let my guard down, so that she can wind up winning against me and so that you can move on scot free without facing me? Is that the whole plan? I’m not going to say that it is, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it is because the fact of the matter is, I KNOW you don’t want to face me. You’ve doe nothing but hide behind a bunch of excuses saying that I haven’t earned a match against you and you are putting me through this gauntlet right now. You’re someone that loves a challenge, someone that loves to be challenged and yet you’re having ME jump through hoops here? Does that speak more of me, thinking that I am that inadequate, or does that speak more of you feeling the need to make me jump through these hoops? Either way, I am taking it personally because after tonight, I will ‘prove’ that I am ‘worthy’ of facing you and there is nothing you can do about that.

Zara, girl… I’m sorry. This is nothing personal against you. This is a match that I have to win. If you’re feeling like you’re being used or that you’re being seen as a pawn by Coda, I can’t say I blame you because I would feel the same way. All you want to do is get into that ring and win a match. You don’t want to get involved in any of this at all. This thing between Coda and I is none of your business and I feel bad about you getting dragged into this. BUT, what I will not feel bad about is beating you to get the match that I want. I’m doing what I have to do to get ahead here and in this business, that’s what you have to do. I can’t spare any expense. I can’t let my guard down because I feel bad for you being dragged into this situation. I HOPE you understand where I am coming from, but at the end of the day, I can’t worry about that. I have to take care of business, I have to earn my match against Coda, and I have to send a message to her, through you. It’s the way it goes in this business sometimes.

And Coda?

When I get you in the ring? I’m going to make you regret making me jump through these bullshit hoops!

Casey storms off, feeling some type of angry confidence going through her as the scene cuts out.
The cameras go to another part of the backstage, right in front of General Manager Isabella Santiago’s office. The door opens and the crowd responds with shock, awe and curiosity as the Trauma GM walks out, accompanied by none other than…Lluvia Cane?! Lluvia looks a little on the dejected side but she manages a smile for Santiago.

Lluvia Cane: Thanks, Ms. Santiago. I really appreciate it.

Santiago smiles and shakes Lluvia’s hand.

Isabella Santiago: My pleasure, Lluvia. And thank you for trusting me with your NFW career going forward! I’m certain you’ll continue to do great things here. Welcome to Trauma!

Seth Ernst: Wait, what? Did she just say…?

Miranda Augustino: Lluvia Cane is signing to Trauma now?!

Seth Ernst: Whoa!!

Miranda Augustino: Talk about an acquisition!

The two part ways as Isabella Santiago heads down the hall. Lluvia Cane remains in front of the office door for a moment. She takes in a breath, trying to fight back tears. She heads down the hall, finally, as the shot cuts back to ringside.

Casey Holliday vs. Zara Ivory

Zara runs in and hits a flying knee strike that knocks Casey back into the ropes. Zara gives her a dropkick and then a running clothesline to put Caey out over the top to the floor. Casey stagers up in a state of shell shock and Zara dives out onto her with a tope con hilo. Zara slides back into the ring and waits as Casey starts to get back up. Zara runs across the ring, rebounds off the far ropes and comes back with a baseball slide that sends Casey crashing back into the barricade. Zara runs across the ring and comes back for a second baseball slide. Casey moves and Zara slides right by her to the floor. Casey jumps into the ring, rolling in under the bottom rope. Zara follows her and Casey catches her coming in with a drop toehold into an inside cradle.


The two exchange cradle attempts, both reversing the other before a count can be made before Casey executes a fireman’s carry into reverse chinlock. Zara tries to sit up and turn out of it but Casey stands with her and then executes a bridging German suplex.


As they get to their feet, Zara gets a quick ddt and covers.


Casey trie to roll Zara into a cradle again but Zara gets an Oklahoma roll.


As they get to their feet, Casey gets Zara into an O’Connor roll.


Casey is propelled into the ropes and bounces off. Zara catche her coming back for a bridging northern lights suplex.


Zara goes to the corner and jumps off for Obliteration. Caey moves out of the way and Zara lands in the seated position, stunned from the missed move. Casey then hits the Stock Plunge and covers.


The venue's lights blink dark as the familiar sharp, electronic wail signals the beginning of Shyloom featuring FJØRA's haunting anthem “Fight Forever.” Coda marches to the ring and steps inside to face Casey. She is handed a microphone and calmly nods to Holliday.

Coda: We will fight.

Coda hands the microphone back and leaves the ring, Casey standing there with a satisfied, knowing smirk as the Korean woman does so.

Seth Ernst: You heard her, Miranda! We’re gonna have us a fight at March Mayhem! Casey Holliday and Coda is a go!!!

Miranda Augustino: Ohhhhhh baby!!!

"Ponytail to Shushu" by AKB48 hits the arena Ayu Megumi walks out with a smile and a high five with her fans before sliding up the ring and picking up the mic to speak.

Ayu Megumi: Last week you were just lucky someone tried to stop me, Nova. But in the end, I'll end up being hurt by you again. But that's not going to happen at March Mayhem when I become the winner. And once again you can't beat me. Do you think you can beat me at March Mayhem? You can only dream Nova. Even my family is having trouble right now but it doesn't distract me from this match. You insult me. You insult Megumi and my sister are not destroying this place like you think And I love it here, that's why I chose it here. At March Mayhem, everything you do will all be worthless by March Mayhem and I want you to come out here again, now! Get out here to settle all the issues between the two of us before facing each other at March Mayhem. I want to know your real problem, not just because I'm Megumi, not because you think Megumi will destroy NFW. I know it's not. Of course, this is the reason I know you don't like defeat. Especially for losing to me, but you should blame yourself. do not hurt me i just do my duty Do what every professional wrestler has to do is beat your opponent and I succeeded. and you are a failure But it's your fault, Nova, if you blame me but I'm not getting anything. You will still be a failure. You're still a loser. I don't want to say that this is who you are. But it might be. Anyway, Nova is out here! now! And say, fair, what's the real reason you hurt me? Because what you've been saying all along isn't really your reason.

"Hey You" by Nova Rockefeller began playing and Nova came out to the entrance stage. There was a grin, similar to last week's though not as cocky. This one seemed more mocking than anything else.

Nova Juaquin: Sweet little Ayu…you're not going to get the satisfaction of me coming down to the ring tonight. But seriously…you're still dead set and determined that you beating me ONCE is why I've what I've done to you?

Nova paused, shaking her head then rolling her eyes as she listened to to crowd boo her. She wasn't there to impress them, to get their support…no, she was there to take care of business.

Nova Juaquin: "wah-wah! Oh the big meanie attacked me! Oh she beat me down numerous times because I obviously don't know how to really be a wrestler and always be aware of my surroundings. She just doesn't like that I managed to sneak one win away from her when bigger things were going on! She just can't accept that I think I'm better!

Nova chuckled a bit as she lowered the microphone. The intensity from the crowd grew with each word that the New Mexico native said, but she brushed them off, not letting it bother her. Before Nova could begin speaking again, Ayu raised her own microphone.

Ayu Megumi: You've always been attacking me, that's all you do. You show your hypocrisy. but everything you do tries to insult me. Insult my family. It will end at March Mayhem. I should have been interested in my family's problems now but because of you made me focus on other matters. It's because of you that I'm in trouble But I promise it will end at March Mayhem everything you do to me. Everything you say to me will become worthless. And it makes no sense. When March Mayhem is over, I'm going to keep going and don't care about how you are anymore. I have no respect for people who hurt me. Insult to my family Nova, you made the biggest mistake in your life was trying to get into trouble with Megumi and I'll teach you that Megumi isn't something you can beat. You can do your best just to hurt me. But you won't be able to beat me at March Mayhem. I'll show you once again that I'm the one who beat you. Nova Joaquin is Ayu Megumi bitch! That's what you are, March Mayhem will end like the first time we meet. If you lose and keep messing with me I won't even have mercy on you. If you're thinking of trying it, give it a try. You think I can't be like Maki Megumi, right? You think I must be fragile and weak, right? Don't know what you're thinking or how prepared you are for March Mayhem, I just want revenge on you. Beat you because everything you do to me is unacceptable. This victory I will give my girlfriend. My family, my fans, while you will get nothing but failure and shame and remember that all that happens is for yourself. And your defeat is an inevitable fate Nova that March Mayhem is the end of the story between me and you. The only winner is the strongest. Hope you're as good as hurting me from behind.

Nova Juaquin: "News flash sweetheart…I've been a bitch since the day I could walk and talk. I don't just think I'm better, no…I know I'm better than you. The last few weeks have just been a little preview for you.

Sugar, I've never cared about the type of person you are…what I care about is taking out those that don't belong here. You have moaned and groaned about me week after week now, trying to put words into my mouth, trying to say why I've come after you, and it ends. Megumis' took part in trying to destroy NFW, and I'm done playing games with your pathetic self. If you want to be the moron you are and not listen when I tell you that you don't belong here then fine, have at it. You want to believe it was your win over me that triggered this? Fine, have fun living in the fantasy and for unicorns and shit, but this is fucking reality. You will fall at March Mayhem…you will get a beat down like you haven't had in your life. At March Mayhem, this ends."

Nova smirked as she tossed the microphone to the stage floor, not giving a shit about the static or anything else that came from it. "Hey You" began playing again as the short haired woman stared down towards the ring at Ayu Megumi, the smirk never leaving her face as she called down to her, "Get ready…I'm coming, and you're in for Hell."

Lana Corvin vs. Marco Valintine

Marco prances around the ring in a circle, smirking knowingly as he does so. Lana watches him, looking disgusted even as Marco brushes his hands over his abs as if showing them off and making sure she personally gets a good look at them. As Marco completes his lap around the ring, he brushes his abs again and Lana, unable to take it anymore, punches him in the mouth. Marco is staggered by the shot he never saw coming and Lana jumps into a Thesz Press, raining punches down on him before they even hit the mat. Marco covers up and rolls Lana into a cradle to escape the barrage of violence.


Lana jumps into the mount again and starts to pound away, Marco trying to pull guard to stop the onslaught. Lana pulls away and gets to her feet, stomping away at the glam rocker even as he starts to roll away. Lana chases him with stomps all the way to the apron. Marco rolls over the edge and then grabs at her ankles. Lana kicks his hands away and Marco jumps into a leg sweep that knocks Lana onto her back. Lana starts to scramble to her feet as Marco jumps up onto the apron and then into a springboard forearm smash. Lana goes down hard and Marco runs into a twisting shooting star press.


The two get to their feet and Marco catches her with a roundhouse kick that knocks her down. He goes to the corner and climbs to the top for his patented double rotation moonsault. Lana moves out of the sy and then deadlifts the crashed and burned Marco up for the Spear of Diana. Marco hits hard and Lana covers.

Diamond Steele could be seen in the backstage area. She just seems to be absolutely disgusted as she rolls her eyes. She shakes her head as she doesn’t seem to be impressed at all and begins to speak.

Diamond Steele: Bloody fucking hell. I know none of you wankers are used to me standing in front of a camera and giving my opinion on a situation but I want to explain something to each and every single one of you. The truth is I feel absolutely disgusted with my role in this company. I know I deserve better than what I am getting. I am a Gem and the true Diamond in the rough. Yet not one single person really gives a bloody heel about what I am going through?! No people just boo me and they expect me to do better right?!

Diamond rolls her eyes in return as she just remains in disgust. As she continues to share her heart to the camera.

Diamond Steele: When am I going to get my rightful respect?! When is this company going to actually treat me better?! I know there are some people who probably wish that I would step it up more. They want to see when I pushed to do better and I will have all of you mindless idiots know that when my back is pushed against the wall it is in that moment where I will step up. What a better chance to showcase what I am about then by entering that ring and giving everything I have against Anaquin Adams.

Diamond smiles as she nods her head.

Diamond Steele: To be honest I actually need a win right now. I know I might not have been on the side of NFW during invasion but you need to understand that my allegiance is where I feel the most respect. Zion opened the door for me because they have faith in me and I don’t feel the same way that I do in here. perhaps I need to get to that point and honestly I don’t mind having to work hard for what I believe in.

Diamond looks deeper into the camera.

Diamond Steele: Even though I know it might sound like a bunch of poppy cock but that’s perfectly fine with me. Nothing was meant to come easy and if there was ever a chance where I was looking to find my way out and to become something. Now would be that moment. I will break through the ceiling that is holding me back and I will become legendary. So NFW you better watch out because I am stepping up and it starts tonight!

With that Diamond just smirks as we fade out on this image.

Diamond Steele vs. Anaquin Adams

This match starts with Diamond Steele stepping out of the corner, looking a bit weary at the new visage of Anaquin Adams. Steele keeps a distance as well as keeping the referee between she and Adams. The Universal Superstar follows her with her eyes, never taking her eyes off of her target. When the action finally starts, Diamond actually shoves the referee at Anaquin! Anaquin catches the ref and pushes them aside just in time for Diamond to come leaping at her and starts hammering her with right hands in the corner! Anaquin’s head rocks back and forth with each shot. The ref starts counting and Diamond whips Anaquin across the ring into the other corner, running in behind her with a big corner splash. She does it again, whipping her across and coming in with a corner clothesline. Diamond whips her across again and yells to the booing crowd for a second before charging at Anaquin and running face first right into a big boot. Diamond staggers and Anaquin grabs her from behind, lifting her into a Belly to Back Suplex with a high angle right on her neck and shoulders before rolling over for a cover.


Diamond kicks out and Anaquin pulls her up into a clinch and feeds her a couple of knee strikes before lifting her into a Vertical Suplex. Anaquin whips Diamond into a corner now and starts throwing boots to the midsection before picking her up onto the turnbuckle and takes her back down with a Superplex. Diamond sits up and Anaquin runs in with a Shining Wizard. She picks Diamond up to her feet but Diamond starts throwing forearms her way, trying to beat her back. Diamond goes to finish with a big Discus Forearm but Anaquin bats the arm down and goes for with Tectonic Shift (Spinning Backfist!) Diamond slips under it, hits the ropes and catches Anaquin with a Float Over Neckbreaker! She picks Anaquin up and goes for the Diamond Cutter but Anaquin shoves her into the ropes, sends her back towards her and hits Tectonic Shift right on the money this time!

The lights immediately die in the entire arena. It is assumed to be some sort of trick by Anaquin doing what she typically does. When they suddenly come back to life, there stands the Lady Terminator, holding her by her throat mere seconds before hoisting her up and violently delivering her to the canvas with a chokeslam. Ursula does not release the throat, lifting her up and slamming her head to the mat for further emphasis and to keep her stunned longer. Kate Steele watches on from the far corner as the referee, naturally, throws the match out. Ursula produces from her vest a microphone, which she then addresses the stunned Adams.

UVR: You would have been better served in silence, Ms. Adams. Our time will come and I assure you that you will not be ready.

Ursula tosses the microphone down upon her, backing away as the lights cut. In seconds they are back on and the Lady Terminator is gone, leaving the wreckage of Anaquin in the middle of the ring to contemplate her words.

Atlas vs. Ashley Kenyon

Atlas walks out, looking Ashley up and down. He glances over at Jeszika, Nikki and Bethany and nods to himself, seemingly taking in the scenery. Ashley throws herself into a flying forearm that Atlas never sees coming because he’s too busy looking her Arsenal teammates up and down. Ashley throws a few more shots and then kicks him in the knee to finally stagger him slightly. Ashley kicks him in the knee again and Atlas swats her away with one hand like an insect on a windshield running into a giant fly swatter shaped windshield wiper. Ashley falls away and Atlas runs the two steps needed to get into a splash on her for a cover.


Atlas pulls Ashley up and scoops her up into a military press. He does three reps with her and then drops her into a shoulder-mounted running powerslam.


Atlas goes to pull her up again and she grabs him with the Kiss This! Atlas’s eyes go wide as she starts to pull and twist. She cocks her head and guides him back towards the corner where she hits the Ballbreaker. Atlas starts to cough from the impact and Ashley grabs him with the Kiss This again. His knees buckle and the big man collapses to the mat. Ashley covers him with her free arm.


Ashley releases her grip and goes to the corner for Kiss The Sky.


Ashley gets up and goes for the split-legged moonsault. Atlas moves and Ashley crashes to the mat. The big man staggers up, grimacing in pain and hits the Bane. Ashley goes down and Atlas manages a cover with one arm.


Atlas pulls her up and takes her to the ropes where he executes the Dreadnought. Ashley crashes to the floor and Atlas steps back, double over and exhaling heavily. The referee moves into position to count Ashley out.


Ashley starts to stir on the floor.


Ashley pulls herself to her feet and turns to the apron.


Ashley pulls herself up and Atlas moves in. Ashley head butts him in the groin and then slingshots herself into a sunset flip.


Ashley goes to the corner and waits for him to get up. Atlas has just reached his feet when she jumps off with a missile dropkick. Atlas staggers back, bleeding from the lip. Ashley runs to the ropes and springboards into a modified Kiss The Sky. Atlas catches her and reverses her momentum into Atlas’s Might.


Atlas sits up and pulls away, still looking like he’s feeling it from the Kiss This earlier.

The Socialites are with their trainer at Champions Advantage Performance Center in Vero Beach, Florida. Marisol has the girls doing a circuit where Bianca is doing pull ups, Danielle is sprinting on the treadmill, while Vanessa is doing jump squats. Watching from a far is Tiffany Lynn Page, who just finished a workout of her own.

"Too Sexy" Tiffany Lynn Page: We all have days that we are excited about. One of those days for my sisters and I is one week from tonight at March Mayhem because as the entire wrestling world knows my sisters are finally getting their NFW Trios Championship match. A championship opportunity that we have once again earned. Finally it will just be my sisters facing La Sirvientas De Yum Kimil. Team vs team with no third party that was thrown into the mix even though my sisters earned a title shot. So this time when it is just us and the champions it will without a doubt be us that walks out of March Mayhem as the new Trios Champions of the world. Now as you can all see my sisters are one hundred percent focused on becoming the new champions. The wining and dining, shopping, any guys that they might be seeing has all been put on the back burner until they successfully become the new champions.

Marisol Vilaro: Alright ladies. Take a little break and grab some water.

Danielle, Bianca and Vanessa all stop at what they are doing. Danielle grabs her Hydroflask and takes a drink of water.

"Too Sexy" Tiffany Lynn Page: Great job, ladies.

Marisol Vilaro: Damn right it is. I am so excited for this match you three have next week because I know you’ll bring the Trios Championships into the fold of #TeamVilaro.

Vanessa Page: (With a devilish grin on her face) It is going to be epic when we beat those crazy ass clowns and we’ll celebrate like nobody has ever seen here in Chicago.

“Classy” Bianca Page: We will make the celebration the Cubs had after winning the 2016 World Series seem like child’s play. We will be more revered than the 1985 Chicago Bears and the Chicago Bulls during the 1990s because we are simply that special.

"Diamond Princess" Danielle Page: We will be only the second champion that is worthy of being a champion.

"Too Sexy" Tiffany Lynn Page: That is right, Danielle. We see and appreciate my good, good friend, Hayley Halsey.

Vanessa Page: Hayley really is a doll. Love her.

"Diamond Princess" Danielle Page: La Sirvientas De Yum Kimil, I hope you have enjoyed five months being a placeholder to our championships. Now it is our turn to properly reign supreme over all the undeserving mouth breathers who need us to be the Trios Champions. So paint up your faces, roll around in barbed wire, and thumbtacks all you want. That won’t get you to beat us. Which is exactly you know in your heart of hearts. Simply because we are better than the three of you are unhinged and your lack of discipline and focus will ultimately lead to your downfall.

Marisol Vilaro: Just give up now, La Sirvientas De Yum Kimil. It’ll save you the embarrassment of us just taking the blts from you three by force.

"Too Sexy" Tiffany Lynn Page: Now that, my friends, is just a fact of life.
We cut backstage to find Dakota Winters standing there with a microphone in hand and a smile on her face.

Dakota Winters: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time… the NFW United States Champion, “Unbreakable” Stacy Jones.

The camera pans out a little to reveal Stacy Jones standing beside the interviewer dressed to compete and with her US title proudly on show over her shoulder.

Dakota Winters: Thanks for joining me, Stacy.

Stacy Jones: No problem, Dakota. Always happy to make some time for you.

Winters smiles and nods.

Dakota Winters: Well lately, you’ve been proving yourself to be quite the formidable champion with this open challenge of yours and you were once again successful in retaining your belt last week against newcomer, Ibbie. However tonight is a very different situation for you as we see you teaming up with the number one contender to the Undisputed Championship, Cherry “Glitch” Addams in a tag team match against the number one contender to your US Championship, Faye Brown and the current Undisputed Champion, Adrianna Salvatore.

Stacy Jones: Quite a Main Event isn’t it? And this will be the first time I’ll have been in the ring with these competitors and I’m looking forward to it. I have a lot of respect for Faye and I’m looking forward to stepping into the ring with her at March Madness when I put my US title on the line. As for Adrianna? She’s one of the toughest wrestlers in the business today… the fact she is the Undisputed Champion is proof of that… and I’m looking forward to locking horns with her and testing myself against her. And then of course there is my tag team partner for tonight, Cherry. She’s as tough as they come and there’s a reason why she’s the current number one contender to the Undisputed title. This is one of the reasons I love doing what I do, getting to step into the ring with people I haven’t had the chance to do so with yet.

Dakota Winters: Do you think you can trust Cherry in this match?

The Unbreakable One shrugs.

Stacy Jones: I have no reason not to. Cherry is all about business and she’ll be wanting to send a message to Adrianna ahead of their clash at March Madness. Regardless of her personal feelings towards me, which I don’t know how she feels about me, I’m confident that she’ll--

The US Champion pauses as the woman herself, Cherry Addams walks into camera view on the other side of the interviewer.

Cherry Addams: Speak of the devil, Stacy, and the devil appears. As for your question of trust, Winters. Yeah, she can trust me. You see, I'm not the type to stab a person from behind. No, if I'm going to stab you, you'll damn well know it's coming.

Dakota Winters: Well, since you're here… what are your thoughts on teaming with the United States Champion?

Addams sighs, and gives her head a slow shake. Her eyes shift over to Jones, as she takes a moment to size her up. After a long pause, The Walking Contradiction shrugs.

Cherry Addams: Honestly? Not a fan, all this hoopla over trinkets. I've made my stance on titles, pretty well known, and yet… here the fuck we are. Contender and champion versus contender and champion, let's just yadda yadda our way through this shit already. Nothing against anyone in the match, the situation on the other hand. Yeah, sooner we put it behind us, the better. I mean, not sure what about me screams, 'works well with others’.

The interviewer glances over to Jones who just lets out a short, sharp chuckle before she turns her attention to Winters.

Stacy Jones: Guess we now know what she thinks of me, Dakota. I’ll see you around…

The Unbreakable One now focuses back onto Addams.

Stacy Jones: And I’ll see out in the ring.

The US Champion then walks off as the camera focuses on Addams who watches her leave and we cut elsewhere.
