NFW Trauma #69! 05/07/2022!

After the video package finishes and the camera pans around the Blackheart Colosseum, the camera focuses on the ring, where we can see Kasey Kash sat in the center of the ring, microphone in hand.

Kasey Kash: ”...I should be sitting here, right now, as your New Frontier Wrestling… Undisputed Champion… instead, I got my shot ruined for me… by the one cunt I thought didn’t have the guts to actually do something about it… I guess I really must’ve pushed his buttons when I said his girl was fuckin’ another bloke while he himself seemed to have a clown car ran on him.”

Kasey chuckles slightly at that, scratching his chin, before raising his head, looking directly into the hardcam.

Kasey Kash: ”...but I digress… I was inches away… from beating Arianna, and becoming the BEST Undisputed Champion in that belts history. Why? Because I’m that… fucking… good. Which is a fact that others around here seem to neglect. So allow me to remind you what I’ve done. I’ve been a part of some of the biggest matches this company has seen. I was in what SHOULD have been the main event of Wrestle War last year with a person I don’t really like. Matter of fact, if you remember it correctly, the cunt whacked me upside my head with ‘Sheila’... and yet, even after all the blood I spilled for this company… I do not get… the respect or acknowledgement I deserve. Maybe it’s because the management in the back don’t respect me because of what I did during Invasion, even after I told the world why I did what I did. We all know that I ain’t liked much by anyone back there, so it wouldn’t surprise me for a second if that was the reason…”

Kasey then stands up out of the chair, kicking it behind him, and continues to speak.

Kasey Kash: ”...which is why, instead of them doing the right thing in this situation… I had to come out here and cut this fucking promo, because no one back there will right the wrong that has been handed to me, and that is that I would be standing here, right fucking now, as the Undisputed Champion… if it wasn’t for that fucking… cunt. Kai Morgan. So… how am I gonna fix that? Very good question… by doing… THIS!”

As Kasey says that last word, he shoots his hand up in the air, and smoke starts coming down from the ceiling, covering him. The crowd starts murmuring in anticipation as to what he has planned. Then as the smoke clears, we can see what was brought down from the ceiling… a championship belt.


Purple Strap, Silver Plates, with Kaseys face on the two closer side plates. He throws it over his shoulder as he starts talking.


Kasey Kash: ”Isn’t it beautiful? Isn’t it gorgeous! That’s right… Uncrowned No More… for I am the TRUE… New Frontier Wrestling… Undisputed Champion.”

As “Zombified” by Falling in Reverse starts playing throughout the arena, Kasey lifts the belt up high over his head, before making his way out of the ring, and the cameras fade.
The camera fades to Ayu Megumi, standing next to Dakota Winters. Ayu is in her wrestling outfit. And it looks like she just finished training before wrestling in the upcoming match. She stood with a smile and determination showing on her face.

Dakota Winters: Ayu, today you have a match with CODA! How do you feel about having a week of rest! And do you have anything to say to your opponent in this match like CODA? And how well do you think you can do in this match?

Ayu Megumi looks at the camera and gives a friendly smile. She takes the mic from Dakota Winters and smiles confidently before she begins to answer the questions received from Dakota Winters.

Ayu Megumi: Hi! I'm Ayu Megumi! Nice to meet you! This is actually the first time I actually met you if I had to guess. And what's more special, we are Asian too. This is the first time since I flew from Japan to meet people of the same culture and of course if we didn't meet in the ring, would we have lunch together? Let's go have a drink somewhere, we'll definitely be good friends, I hope so because I know you're a good person here. So when we face each other in the ring I hope it will be a great match for both of us. I hope we can shake hands before this match starts, let's make this an impressive match together and I really hope that we can both do our best. that I hope we will have an impressive match together in this match. Because I know you're a great wrestler, so no matter what. I hope the fans get the best out of this great match and great results. I know this match is going to be another tough match for me but it definitely doesn't stop my path. I will keep going no matter how the match ends. I still have to keep improving myself, I won't let anything stop me. I want to impress the fans on my growth. I want to give them what they want from me. I wanted to give what he expected of me. I want to prove to them that I will grow up strong and become a champion soon and as I said I came here with the determination to end the year by being nominated. And now I have come too far to turn back, so no matter what, I will continue to do my best. After I've been resting for the rest of the week, I hope this week will be another great week for me. I still have a chance to prove myself and this isn't even halfway through. So thank you for supporting me from the first day I stepped in here. My dream continues and I can't let anyone stop it, my dream stays the same, I still want to be a champion. I always wanted to be If the opportunity comes back to me again I definitely won't let it slip away.

Dakota Winters: Did you hear about your sister at Zion? How do you feel about everything that happened and how did you have a conversation with your sister?

Ayu Megumi lowered her head slightly, her eyes trembling, she hesitated in answering this question, but for a moment she looked at the camera again and tried to smile before answering this question.

Ayu Megumi: I'm heartbroken, it's a really bad feeling, you know, I think I'm left with my sister. But now I have no one to depend on me, after all, I must grow up on my own path. I had to come up with my own path that I couldn't discuss with anyone. So what has happened, I can't change anything, so when it happened, I had to move on. What can I do when that's what my sister chooses? I respect your decision. But I promise I won't become like that because that's what I hate the most. I want to be by my side with all my fans no matter what, there are many promises made between me and my fans. I can't betray them. After that, we haven't talked or even met, so I don't know why I would keep in touch when they had chosen their own path without me in it. My duty is only for myself, no matter what happens after this time, I will do it for myself and for all my fans. I don't always have to be like my sister. I promise it won't happen to me, please everyone trust me. I, Ayu Megumi, I will be the brightest star. I will be the star in the sky And someday I'll be the greatest of all time female professional wrestlers! I won't let anything destroy me. I will do my best and be stronger than this, no matter what, I will not be fragile and broken. I don't want to let my promises go in vain so no matter what, you can count on me. I know what I'm doing. I know I'm Megumi, but I've always been a different Megumi, so this will be once again as I insist on being who I am. Whatever has happened and I know I can't go back and fix anything, I will follow in what I believe I will be a star. I'm going to be a star and I won't let anything stop me. Even storms and tsunamis can't stop me. I came only to succeed. Failure is not what I want, even if I fall a few times along the way, I always get up. I will rise to succeed. No one can stop me until I become a star.

Ayu finished speaking, she returned the mic to Dakota Winters. She wiped her tears a little before she smiled at Dakota Winters and walked off to prepare for the next match.

Scene fade to black
We cut backstage to the locker room for Lana Corvin. She has her ring gear on and is just getting her boots ready. Relaxing in one of the chairs is her fiance, Jamie Emmerson.

Lana Corvin: Tonight I get to go out there and test myself against someone I actually have some respect for. Nathan, you were on the team with me at Invasion helping to save NFW. So I know you are better than most.

Lana pauses for a moment.

Lana Corvin: But tonight is different. Tonight you get an opponent like none you have faced before. And I know you are probably sitting there saying you’ve heard that a million times before. But ya see, it’s true. Despite how good you are, despite how great you think you are, there is one subtle little difference between us.

Lana smirks.

Lana Corvin: I’m a Corvin, and you’re not. We are just that much better than everyone. Nothing against you at all, Nathan. You got legit talent, that I won’t argue. Beating you will be a good look for me tonight. Like everyone else, Nathan, you’ll see that when Corvins win, It’ Ain’t Luck.

Lana shoos the cameraman out of the locker room before the scene fades.
The camera opens upon Bethany Kenyon surprisingly standing by herself without her Arsenal mates, including even her manager, Nikki Peltier.

Bethany Kenyon: I’m going to enjoy this evening. I’m wrestling a singles match where I don’t have to worry about my opponent using dirty tactics or going underhanded or behind my back. I’m wrestling somebody who is a bright young star and we get to use me as a measuring stick to see where she is at in terms of her development as a shining beacon of what a talent should be and look like in the sport!

She smiles even brighter.

Bethany Kenyon: I’m having a singles match with Ibbie!

She claps her free hand gently against the microphone hand.

Bethany Kenyon: This woman has already shown that she's a ball of sunshine but it’s not just that she's sweet and nice and shakes everyone’s hand before the match!

She waves that idea off.

Bethany Kenyon: No, it’s that she does all of that even when she doesn’t need to and then goes all out in the ring with skills that look like they should take her far!

She nods pointedly, the smile still in place.

Bethany Kenyon: Ibbie is a chance to see a rising star on her way up but it’s also a special kind of opportunity for me as well! Every time I step in the ring is a chance to remind everyone who I am and what I can do and this will be such an opportunity!

Bethany nods to the camera one more time.

Bethany Kenyon: I’m Bethany Kenyon, you’re still Ibbie and we’re gonna make magic tonight!
The camera follows Ibbie as she exits the ring area to the back. She walks through the curtain with her manager, Loree Merope, but they are stopped short by several doctors in white coats. Loree proceeds through them after they nod to her, but Ibbie is kept at a distance for the time being. Ibbie stands there in the meantime with a silly smile on her face while the doctors slowly let her proceed revealing Lorna in attendance in shackles with a doctor on one side and Loree on the other. Lorna is distracted by a screen backstage showing all of tonight's action. Ibbie excitedly taps her on the shoulder which causes her to turn to face Ibbie giving her an irritated look. Lorna has added a t-shirt to her attire tonight which has "Small Match Ibbie" written on the front with Ibbie's picture underneath the writing.

Ibbie: Hi, I'm Ibbie! You are you and you are Lorna and did you see? Did you see me out there? I won!!! I won another of my matches tonight!

Lorna says not a word, but instead points to her t-shirt and nods with a sarcastically excited-looking smile. Ibbie doesn't get the sarcasm.

Ibbie: Great! I'm glad you loved the match tonight! I hope to win a title match soon! Even though I'm glad, don't let that confuse you. I'm also still Ibbie!

Lorna looks at Loree who puts her finger up to her lips to signify not to say anything. Lorna looks at Ibbie and follows the instruction by not saying anything back, but responds, instead, by spitting into Ibbie's face. Ibbie's expression goes from excited to extremely irritated as she wipes her face and uncharacteristically lunges at Lorna in a rage! Before she can lay a hand on Lorna, however, Loree steps in holding Ibbie back from her.

Ibbie: DO NOT disrespect me, you little bitch! She may be using MY spot right now, but you will NOT show disrespect to her or me!

Loree looks shocked at Ibbie and what she heard come from her lips as Ibbie has tears running from her eyes, but still looks enraged. Lorna looks at Ibbie and flashes a genuine smile.

Lorna: The brat turned new! I don't know how. It wasn't really you. It is right now!

Lorna laughs and snorts while Loree consoles her client. Ibbie snaps out of it and cries with a look of terror in her eyes as she immediately embraces Loree. After a moment, the scene cuts.
Backstage of the Vlad Blackheart Colosseum, inside of the Lord of Charisma’s locker room, Nathaniel Dixon is fully dressed in his ring attire. In the traditional violinist’s stance, he plays his Stradivarius with skill and grace. His eyes are closed as he draws the bow along the strings and adjusts his fingers. A thin layer of sweat covers him, a clear sign that he’s all warmed up to compete.

“...how can you play at a time like this?”

The camera pans out to reveal a familiar face. Sitting on the left side of the black leather couch, his younger brother Maximilian Dixon looks toward him with an eyebrow raised. Nathaniel continues to play with his eyes closed.

Nathaniel Dixon: How can I not? I am prepared to face Ms. Lana Corvin. There’s no need to stress myself out.

The man simply exudes confidence. Maximilian sighs softly, but before he can respond, there’s a knock on the door. The familiar sound of Ami Kennedy’s voice softly resonates from the other side.

Ami Kennedy: Uncle Nate, may I come in?

Nathaniel Dixon: Of course, Ami. Allow your Uncle Max to get the door for you.

He still doesn’t open his eyes.

Ami Kennedy: Oh! I didn’t know Uncle Max was here!

Rising from the couch, Maximilian walks over to the door and opens it for their oldest niece.

Maximilian Dixon: My apologies, Ami. Nathan invited us over yesterday morning. We’re flying to London right after the show.

Ami is a little confused by this. Nathaniel chuckles softly.

Nathaniel Dixon: It is Mother’s Day weekend, my dear niece. Yes… your grandmother enjoys celebrating it twice a year.

Ami Kennedy: O-oh, of course!

She watches her oldest uncle continue to play, her hands folding in front of her. While the door is still open, a familiar woman enters -- with an unfamiliar woman who somewhat looks like them.

Ryleigh Dixon: Hey, Ami! How was your time with that handsome big Texas cowboy? Hmmm?

Naturally, the Dancing Violinist blushes. This time, the Intellectual Evolution opens his eyes. He stares right at the youngest Dixon sibling.

Nathaniel Dixon: So it was your idea, was it? To allow our niece to travel to Dallas using the family private jet?

His voice is a little cold. Feeling the slightest bit of tension, Ryleigh holds her hands up in the air to display no harm. Maximilian takes a couple of steps back, while Ami is a little shocked.

“Come now, Nathaniel. Ami is a full-grown woman…”

Finally, the dark brown-haired woman next to Ryleigh speaks up. Nathaniel’s glare breaks away from Ryleigh and he regards…

Nathaniel Dixon: Gwendolyn.

…with a slight curl of his lips. The older of the Dixon Sisters offers a tiny smile and she lightly brushes at her spring dress.

Gwendolyn Dixon-Williams: I understand your protective nature, but Ami was with someone she trusted. After all, she returned to Chicago unharmed.

In the background, Ryleigh and Maximilian are whispering to each other with the former giggling softly. Maximilian lightly massages his temples and shakes his head. Ami turns to Nathaniel.

Ami Kennedy: I’m alright, Uncle Nate. Really. Monsieur DJL was very kind and respectful--

Nathaniel Dixon: Have you forgotten you’re barely over three months after filing an annulment? An annulment of your second marriage to Oliver bloody Fitzsimmons…?

Ami Kennedy: T-that’s…

The petite English-Frenchwoman visibly shakes from the icy remark. Ryleigh scowls and folds her arms across her chest.

Ryleigh Dixon: Oi, Nate, give it a rest! You’re her uncle, not her father. Besides, it’s like Gwen said -- she’s a full-grown woman. She can do whatever she wants.

Once again, Nathaniel glares at his youngest sister, a coldness in his earth-colored eyes. However, Ryleigh doesn’t back off, rather she’s stepping up to her oldest brother instead. Maximilian has to quickly move between the two to keep them separated.

Maximilian Dixon: L-let’s not do this here. Nathan, you have a professional wrestling match coming up next. I shall accompany you.

The oldest and the youngest Dixon siblings stare each other down… until Nathaniel smirks. He sets aside his Stradivarius and pats his younger brother’s shoulder.

Nathaniel Dixon: Very well. Come along, then.

He only breaks eye contact to lead the way. Maximilian follows after him with a sigh. Right after they leave, Ryleigh rolls her eyes. Gwendolyn shakes her head and regards her niece.

Nathaniel Dixon: Don’t worry about your uncle, sweetie. He’s a little on edge.

Ami Kennedy: Oui… I understand, Aunt Gwen. Merci.

While she offers a polite smile, the slight knitting of Ami’s brow and the visible swallow are quite telling. The ladies move to take a seat on the couch and talk amongst themselves before the camera changes perspective altogether.
The view fades to the recently newly-crowned Zion Champion, the NFW United States Champion Faye Brown. Brown rests on a couch in an inverse of her normal Buffalo Bills gear: primary red secondary blue instead of the other way around. Faye's kicked back and everything, complete with legs-crossed action! She nestles her two championships across her shoulders and readjusts her head before looking at the camera.

Faye Brown: Hey, at least my titles aren't on the line, right Cherry? God forbid these babies get pawned off.

The camera walks over to the end of the couch Faye rests upon to get a full head to toe shot of her. Brown just shrugs and talks during this.

Faye Brown: Look, you make it to where there's maybe one person who can actually get a read on you. The fact that people keep sticking you in title matches when you've publicly said you'll pawn whatever titles you win and that over a year ago, you said you'd help me sleep better by knocking me out are all I've got. Hell, I wanna see how you knock me out. I wanna see if you can. Despite the last Trauma I was on, I don't go down easy, you know? Hence why I have these in the first place.

The Scrap-Iron Scarecrow slightly raises her two championships off her shoulders to the camera.

Faye Brown: Check that drip. Speaking of Trauma 67... well, it was about how Logan did with challenging Anaquin Adams for this United States Title here. Only difference is we all expected Logan to get demolished. Sure, everyone tried to tell me "hey, Adrianna didn't beat you that bad!" Even the champ herself chimed in with that.

Faye shakes her head no, slowly.

Faye Brown: But nah... I got dee-stroyed.

She pauses for a second before quietly inhaling, but audibly popping her black lips.

Faye Brown: Tell me something, Cherry... you ever watch Dragon Ball Z? A Saiyan gets a significant power boost whenever they get their ass kicked in a fight, and when they only just barely live to see another day. All in all, it's a pretty broken power for Goku, Vegeta, and the other Saiyans to have. Now, that's a power I don't have because I'm just human, after all. We both are, even though you dressed up as a robot for a bit. But after what happened at Zion's Destiny? It certainly feels like I do. I feel... I guess rejuvenated. Winning a world title'll do that, I suppose. But in terms of strictly NFW?

The Killshot Kid finally gets up from the couch, strapping her US Title around her waist. The Zion title won't actually fit because she's too small, so she opts to just keep that over her shoulder.

Faye Brown: Consider yourself the Cui to my Vegeta, Cherry. Because it's time to pop ya.

With that, Brown leaves the locker room as Method In The Badness's remix of "Bad Boys" starts up. The view fades away back to the entrance way as Brown begins her entrance.
