Logyn Bailey: I just don't get it.
Reverse Logan's confusion bleeds through her voice.
Logyn Bailey: I haven't even done anything wrong. I tried to break up the little kerfluffle at the Catacombs and got caught in the crossfire. I didn't say anything too out of line two weeks ago. And yet you try to make me out to be the villain when on the flip side... you literally cost me a championship opportunity and side with someone trying to fight her wife after getting her butt beat by my girlfriend.
Bailey shrugs, shaking her head a little as she does.
Logyn Bailey: And that's not me trying to spin a narrative, either. That's just the facts. That's just what's happened. I just... I guess I just don't get it. I guess I just don't get how anyone can see you or Crystal Whatshername as noble in this situation.
Logyn gets up off the couch, getting to her feet. Ready to leave.
Logyn Bailey: I want to be angry, but I can't reciprocate what I don't even understand, you know? But I suppose beating you tonight should give me some peace of mind knowing that where I should be... isn't across from you. Not that I'm scared, heavens no. But like I said... that's just the facts. Just like me winning tonight's going to be a fact once it's all said and done.
The Living Biological Paradox simply nods before leaving off for her match.

Match #1/Singles
Jenny Williams vs. Logyn Bailey
The two women circled each other in the middle of the ring as soon as the bell rang. That only lasted for a moment, however, before Jenny caught Logyn up in a side headlock, steadily applying pressure. Williams quickly switched to where she had ahold of Bailey’s wrist/arm as if she were going to whip the other woman into the corner or the ropes, but she quickly pulled back on Logyn, nailing her with a short-armed clothesline! Just as she was going to finish getting the other woman back to her feet, Logyn grabbed her by the head and dropped down, bringing Jenny’s chin crashing against the top of her head. The blow stunned both women for a moment, but it was Logyn that got her wits about her first, but Jenny wasn’t far behind her. Williams went for a snap suplex, but Bailey countered with a suplex of her own, slamming Williams to the mat hard. Both women got to their feet, though Williams was a touch slower in doing so. Which seemed like it was going to cost her.
As Logyn charged at Jenny, looking for a hard clothesline, Williams was able to sidestep Bailey and throw her down hard by grabbing the other woman’s hair. She made sure that the woman’s head bounced off of the mat when she threw her back, a grin coming to her face at the impact. Running towards the ropes, she set-up for a springboard moonsault and connected! The fans let out a groan in unison, hoping that Logyn would block the move in some way. Williams got back to her feet, her 2nd wind taking over as she lifted Bailey, nailing her with a German suplex. Logyn arched her back after the impact, a pained look crossing her face as she did. It was clear that she was beginning to feel some ache from the last few moves, but it didn’t stop her from using the ropes to get back to her feet. As Jenny came charging towards her, the other woman met her with a swift back elbow to the side of her face, sending her stumbling back. Having a moment, Bailey went for a low superkick to the gut, but Williams caught the other woman’s leg and shook her head with a smirk before throwing her leg down and then nailing her with a snap DDT. Getting the woman back to her feet, Williams set up the Executive Decision, performing a beautiful wheelbarrow facebuster only to go for the pin immediately after.

Christian Lawson: Ladies and Gentlemen I am here with one of NFW’s second-generation stars, Lana Corvin, moments before her match tonight again Nakita Niles. Thank you for being here with me, Ms. Corvin.
Lana looks at Christian and rolls her eyes.
Lana Corvin: Yeah, just get on with it. I have a match to win.
Christian Lawson: Speaking of matches. How do you keep yourself focused on the match at hand without looking forward to the future too much?
Lana takes a moment before answering.
Lana Corvin: Well, that was something that was ingrained in me as soon as I started training. My dad told me never to lose sight of what is in front of you. No matter how big a goal looms down the road. Never forget your long-term goals, but do not put them before what is right in front of you. Winning the match you are currently in will help you get to that goal.
Christina nods, following the logic.
Christian Lawson: Bringing up your father, how much like your father are you, and does anyone really want to see that question answered in person?
Lana gives a scoffing chuckle.
Lana Corvin: Anyone who knows my father says I am just like him. Most of my moves are ones he used throughout his career. My attitude is directly inherited from him. As far as who would want to see just how like my father I am? Well, no one if they are smart. I haven’t gone to the depths he did in his career. Not saying I’m not capable or even willing. Just that I haven’t been pushed that far yet. Though Diamond Caldwell might just push me that far.
Christian’s eyes light up at the mention of Diamond Caldwell.
Christian Lawson: Now there is an interesting person. What, exactly, do you have against Diamond Caldwell?
Lana’s lips pursed at the question. She takes a deep breath and slowly exhales through her nose.
Lana Corvin: Beyond the fact that she doesn’t deserve anything she has won? That she belongs down on Destiny and not on the same show as me? Everything she has “earned” has come from luck. She thinks she is something great when all her accolades and credentials are owed to chance. You want proof? Just look at who she chose to marry. A woman who can’t decide which surname she wants to use from week to week. A woman who boasts about being great yet can’t do a single thing she sets out to. Not to mention the fact of the tirade that Crystal went on calling Diamond nothing. Well, that I can agree with her on, but I digress. Her choice of wife shows exactly how poor her decision-making is. But that won’t last for long. Sooner rather than later I’ll show her, and the world, that her wife was right. That she ain’t shit.
There is a long, heavy silence before Christian continues his questions.
Christian Lawson: Last question, Ms. Corvin. What, if anything, do you feel like you've already added to your family's legacy?
Lana looks at Christian incredulously.
Lana Corvin: What have I added? I’m active in the ring. Every time I’m on TV, every win adds to the Corvin Legacy. Accolade-wise, I, along with my fiance Jamie Emmerson, have added a Tag Title to the family. Once I am done dealing with Caldwell, a singles title is on the horizon. Mark my words, Christian. Before I turn twenty-one I will hold a singles title in NFW.
Christian nods his head.
Christian Lawson: Thank you, Ms. Corvin. I’ve taken up enough of your time. Good luck with your match.
Lana Corvin: Christian, I’m a Corvin. When we win, It’ Ain’t Luck.
Lana smirks into the camera. She then turns and starts heading toward the ring for her match.
==========================================================
Match #2/Singles
Lana Corvin vs. Nakita Niles
~DING DING DING~
Lana Corvin starts things off by bullying the slightly-smaller Nakita Niles, shoving her into the ropes and cracking her with an elbow to the jaw. Shoving her into the buckles, she pie-faces the young blonde and talks a little shit before dragging her forward in a front facelock and delivering a textbook vertical suplex. Nakita lands hard, but the resultant pin is only good for one. Brought up by the hair, Nakita finds herself sent into the ropes and shoulderblocked to the mat where another quick one-count commences. Lana lets up for a moment, thinking to make sport of her adversary, and Nakita makes her pay for it with a few hard chops. Lana retorts with a clothesline but Nakita ducks, delivers a tightly-executed swinging neckbreaker, and goes for a pin of her own. Lana is out before two and rolls out of the ring, but the determined Nakita follows. More chops commence, turning Lana’s chest red. A spear follows after Hecate’s Dagger is avoided, taking Lana down, this time for a count of two.
Corvin comes up motivated, and Nakita’s Rightful Justice is narrowly avoided, with the powerful Corvin getting all of the Hecate’s Dagger this time, following up with an enzuigiri and a lateral press with the leg hooked. Two slaps of the mat later, though, Nakita is fighting back up. She catches a second-rope leap from Lana, hitting a spinebuster on the stronger woman and getting a two-count of her own. Another Rightful Justice is loaded up but Lana again rolls out of the ring, taunting Nakita to come after her. Nakita fakes a dive, then delivers a dropkick between the ropes to send Lana into the barricade. Upon grabbing her, Nakita eats an elbow to the jaw, then a stun gun across the top of the railing. Coughing hard as the air is forced out of her by the metal, Nakita has no answer for a snap suplex delivered on the mat-covered concrete.
Sent back into the ring, Lana hits the Arabian Press, but Nakita rolls the shoulder up before two. She sends Nakita into the corner for a running high knee, grinds said knee into the face of Lana and milks the count past four, then does it again. Naktia staggers out of the corner, but shockingly elbows out of an STO, delivering a pumphandle suplex for a near-fall. The fans start to get behind Nakita, who tears into Lana’s chest with a few more chops after another hard whip into the corner, then spears the hell out of her. Lana takes a few steps forward, but when Nakita charges a second time Lana drops down and trips her, causing her to go face-first against the middle buckle! From there, it’s the Spear of Diana to give Lana the–

Seth Ernst: I’m certain she is but Caldwell’s streak has been burning hot as well!
Winner: Lana Corvin

Dakota Winters: Ladies and gentlemen… please welcome my guest at this time… “Unbreakable” Stacy Jones.
A faint pop from the fans in attendance can be heard as the camera pans out a little to reveal Stacy Jones standing beside the interviewer, dressed ready to compete in mere moments.
Dakota Winters: Stacy? Tonight in just a matter of minutes you will be stepping into the ring in a non-title match against the current Undisputed Champion, Kasey Kash. How are you feeling ahead of what could be one of the biggest matches in your NFW career?
Jones nods and smiles before she raises the index finger on her right hand up to Winters and then to the camera as she now turns her attention to it.
Stacy Jones: One chance, Kasey! One chance is all I need tonight in our match to show that I belong in the Undisputed Championship conversation!
She lowers her finger now, a look of pure determination on her face.
Stacy Jones: I expected better from you, Kasey! You’ve seen what I’ve done here! Or at least you should have if you were paying attention! I broke the record for the most successful United States Championship defenses in NFW history! And I did it when I wasn’t one hundred percent and it nearly ended my career! So you wanna talk about how you’re a fighter not a wrestler?! Well I’m a wrestler AND a fighter!
The intensity in the face and in the words of The Unbreakable One builds and builds.
Stacy Jones: Now don’t get me wrong, Kasey… I respect what you have accomplished! But if you’re going to try and intimidate ME of all people with your whole “everybody wants to face Kasey Kash until they do” schtick?! It ain’t gonna work on me! I’ve gone to war with the Devil himself and I kept going back for more because I believed in what I was fighting for! And mark my words, Kasey! No matter the result of tonight’s match?! If you manage to leave WrestleWar still the Undisputed Champion after going to war with either Damon Cross or Kai Morgan?! You can bet that I’ll be chomping at the bit wanting to face you again! But this time with the gold on the line!
Jones pauses briefly to catch her breath.
Stacy Jones: You may be unkillable, Kasey Kash?! But I am unbreakable! And that is more than just a fancy fucking nickname!
The Unbreakable One then swiftly makes her exit as the camera pans back to the interviewer.
Dakota Winters: Well there you have it, folks. Stacy Jones is certainly fired up for her match and that’s up next. Back to you guys at ringside.
And with that, the camera cuts elsewhere.

Ayu Megumi: First of all I would have to complain a bit about the management of the rooms here is that my room had some kind of smoke bothering me all the time since I arrived here. I don't know what he was doing in his room. But it bothers me because I'm actually allergic. I've studied a few things about this place, but I guess it's not what I thought it was.
She smiles a little.
Ayu Megumi: Alright but that's not the main point I'm out here as you all saw last week it was my first Open Challenge for the NFW United States Champion and I won because of me. That is to keep fighting and proving that I will work hard to be a good champion. I don't want anyone to doubt my champ so anyone listening to me is here and there in the back.
Ayu pointed to the stage to talk about everyone in the backstage.
Ayu Megumi: If you think you're ready. will challenge the champion. You think you really need the opportunity, but it never reaches you. This is your chance that I can give you. I'm not arrogant at all, I just want to act like the old champ he did. I want to follow the will of the former champion. She was injured, so I will do my best no matter who I have to fight. You've been given a chance and you'll let your chance slip away? Well, today I'm ready to defend my championship in Amsterdam, whoever you are coming out here. Pleased to meet! I'm happy to fight with you I hope you have a great day and I will do my best to defend my champion. No matter what happens in this match, my challenger will surely get my respect.
There’s a momentary pause…a lull amongst the audience when finally…
Seth Ernst: What?!
Miranda Augustino: WHAT?!
Seth Ernst: Miranda Augustino, do my ears deceive?!
Seconds later, movement from the tunnel signals the arrival of the one answering Ayu Megumi’s call and Amsterdam gets louder.
Miranda Augustino: PAPI’S HOME!!!!
Dressed to compete and grinning smugly at the Ziggo Dome fans, Jessi Ozborne takes in the arena from the stage before looking down at the ring at Ayu Megumi who now has a look on her face mixed between surprise and being overjoyed. Echoing Miranda’s previous comment, Ozborne strolls down to the ring, taking in the mixed reaction from the fans. As she approaches, Megumi eagerly hands the referee her United States Title and removes her entrance gear. Megumi finishes her entrance and stands with a sly smirk aimed at the champion. Megumi hops on the balls of her feet, loosening up and motions for Jessi Ozborne to bring it. Ozborne removes her entrance gear, begrudgingly let the ref check her for any hidden objects in her boots or wrist tape. Once it’s certain she’s not storing anything, the ref backs away. Ozborne gives him a condescending smile and says:
Jessi Ozborne: Yeah, you’re fucking welcome!
Seth Ernst: United States Championship is on the line, ladies and gentlemen!
Miranda Augustino: Let’s gooooooooo!!

Winner: Ayu Megumi

Jeszika Gautier: I know you ain’t had the best week what with your old lady talking shit on you like you’re some J-Brone that hasn’t accomplished a fucking thing in this sport even though you have and I would say I can’ imagine what that situation feels like…
She pauses, looking embarrassed by the memory.
Jeszika Gautier: Except…
She exhales heavily, still looking regretful.
Jeszika Gautier: I kinda can.
Her right index finger raises to slow down any retort that might be coming.
Jeszika Gautier: See, my first world title match was a fourway with the last Aerynn Maguire, Bethy, Ash and me. Aerynn was the defending champion and Arsenal hadn’t broken up that time yet but we almost did because i cut a promo while drunk out of my mind on absinthe…
She pauses before nodding in acknowledgment.
Jeszika Gautier: Probably other stuff too, if I’m honest, though I freely admit, I don’t remember because I was that wasted.
She shrugs almost apologetically and yet also kind of matter-of-factly.
Jeszika Gautier: Anyway, I said some shit in public to Bethany that I should not have said and it almost ended us in every way imaginable. Ash very rightly smacked back on me in her promo and how we all stayed friends, I have no idea.
Looking down, she nods to herself and then looks back up to the camera.
Jeszika Gautier: But we did it and I know you can too but that’s for after. As for tonight, you and I are gonna go at it and we’re not gonna have to ory about stuff like that with each other because I’m not gonna do anything but compete. I know you’re not a J-Brone. I have eyes and I’ve seen you do shit, win championships and that wasn’t no fluke!
She nods knowingly again.
Jeszika Gautier: You and I are gonna show that idea to be so much bullshit. So come on, Diamond, let’s dance!

==========================================================
From time to time, his eyes will lift from the pages and glance around before returning to his writing, the script erupting from his moving hand and placed fingers looping and neat… certain to impress the old-timers and confuse anyone born after ‘00. However, at one point, he pauses again and stays so. Perhaps he senses someone is coming?
Kasey Kash: ”Oi Cross!”
And he was right. As at that moment, the reigning NFW Undisputed Champion, Kasey Kash, marches into frame, both variations of the Undisputed Championship over his shoulders, he looks down at Damon and continues to speak.
Kasey Kash: ”I don’t know who the fuck you think you are, marching into my fuckin’ gaff like you own the place, immediately getting yourself a shot at a shot to fight for the belt I’ve scratched and clawed for, for the better part of a year. But if you think, even for a fuckin’ second, that you’re gonna walk into here, into the brand I’ve carried on my back, and get yourself a championship out of this deal? You’re gonna find yourself sorely fuckin’ mistaken.”
Kasey glares at the former World Champion, with Damon, to his credit, keeping his eyes on Kasey for as long as the man speaks. However, when he’s done, Damon goes back to his writing as though it were a more pressing matter than an angry champion in his grill. He even takes another bite of his apple, though after chewing and swallowing, he responds in a quiet voice.
Damon Cross: You don’t know who I am?
A smile threatens to upturn Damon’s lips as he glances up, not at Kasey, but the championship over his shoulder. Then he’s back to writing again.
Damon Cross: Then more fool you, Kasey. Because unless you’ve lived under a rock for the last few years, you should have known and said my name for a while now.
Closing the book and setting it aside, pen atop the cover and capped, Damon leans up fully and takes another bite of the apple… still looking at the title and not the man.
Damon Cross: So… how can I help you this evening?
Kasey laughs for a second, scratching his chin, before slapping the apple out of the hands of the current MultiUniversal Champion, and leaning down so he’s eye to eye with him.
Kasey Kash: ”Here’s what you’re gonna learn really fucking quickly around these parts, Cross. For one, you’re gonna look me in my fuckin eyes when I’m talkin’ to you, not MY championships, not your stupid fucking book. Me. Secondly… if you’re gonna talk to me, do it with some bass in your voice. I’m not gonna stand here and talk to you while you’re sitting there without a care in the fucking world.”
With surprising calm, Damon turns and watches the remnants of his snack go sailing across the room. They hit the floor, bounce a few times, and roll under one of the tables bearing sweets and coffee. Suddenly, everyone else in the room is stone silent and staring. Damon, licking his lips a little, slides off the crate and finally gives Kasey his full attention. The men are almost of a height, but Damon clocks in at sixty pounds heavier… and one moment of tension shows the difference in physical strength.
Yet nothing is threatening in Damon’s body language. Yet.
Damon Cross: Finished?
He sounds quite genial, but there is an unmistakably dark look in the former World Heavyweight Champion’s eyes.
Damon Cross: Good. Then let me tell YOU how things are going to go between you and I.
As though expecting Kash to try and cut him off, Damon barely pauses his message.
Damon Cross: First of all, you don’t mean shit to me. The only thing about you that has any substance is that championship resting over your shoulder… and as far as I’m concerned, that’s you living off the shine that Anton Crowley put on it since you don’t have it inside you to do what he did to stay on top. Secondly, there are only two champions in all of NFW who have reached a level where their names are synonymous with their respective brands: Marilyn Matthews and the aforementioned now-known-as Lord Lucifer. And since you don’t know who I am, Kasey, let me make it easier for you:
He gets almost nose to nose with Kash.
Damon Cross: I’m the one who beat them both. I took Marilyn’s title from her twice and tore through the Kingdom to do it. Crowley? Respect is due for his glories but when it came time to stand face-to-face with the Redeemer, he fell short. And that was a version of me who can’t hold a candle to the man who stands before you. So get this through your thick skull, because I hate repeating myself: if I put Kai Morgan down tonight, you and I will dance in the middle of that ring. And it’ll be the last night you can call yourself champion while I draw breath.
Kasey, now without the smirk, stares at Damon. The tension in the air is felt through the screens as the two are practically nose to nose. Moments pass, silence fills the air again, and Kasey retorts.
Kasey Kash: ”You can stand there… you can claim I’m ‘living off the shine’ of a guy that took one too many bumps on the head and began to think of himself as the Lord of the Underworld, you can claim that I don’t mean shit to you… you can claim anything you want about me until you’re blue in the face. What you’re gonna find out, however… is this. Kasey Fucking Kash IS. This brand has been carried off the back of me, and everything I’m willing to do to keep this championship, everything I was willing to put myself through to get myself to the dance… you can bring up any of the former champions you fucking want, I only respect two of them.”
He takes a half step forward, now coming nose to nose with him.
Kasey Kash: ”But you wanna come into here… to MY, yes, my brand… and claim that everything I’ve done hasn’t put it back into the spotlight? You are one stupid fucking cunt, Cross. You don’t understand, but that’s fine. You’ll figure it out soon enough… you’ll figure out that with this championship? I’m the only thing worth a damn on this fucking show. I’m not the guy you wanna take fucking lightly. I am the fucking Anti-Christ of New Frontier… you might be ‘The Unforgiven’... but I’m the inevitable.”
Damon Cross: What you are… is a low-rent Johnny Towers with a fatalist mindset and a worse vocabulary. The only thing inevitable about you is that, eventually, you’re going to get what you’ve been wishing for… and finding out that it’s what you’ve been afraid of all along.
Neither man gives an inch. In the background, security seems to be moving in; they don’t want this to turn nasty and as a result compromise the main event or the champion himself. Damon, however, has decided that he’s done…
Damon Cross: In a day or two, I’m going to put a man down in defense of this-
He picks up the Splat! MultiUniversal Title and puts it over his shoulder.
Damon Cross: -and a few days after that, I’m going to reclaim the ECWF World Heavyweight Championship that it took an army to remove from my possession. And, depending on how tonight goes?
The Unforgiven pointedly looks away from Kash and back at the Undisputed Championship.
Damon Cross: I’ll be coming and looking for this… to make myself the first person in NFW history to hold both the World Heavyweight and Undisputed Championships. But something tells me that by the time I earn my shot, someone will have already scraped you off their heel… and saved me the hassle of dirtying my hands on someone like you.
As Cross says those last words, Kasey smirks, before placing his titles behind him on another production crate and looking back at the security team that are standing, waiting for one of them to make the first move.
Kasey Kash: ”Someone… like… me. That’s a fun choice of words, Cross. You’re not the first to say that about me, you’re definitely not gonna be the last… but you want to stand there and basically say that someone ‘like me’ shouldn’t be holding this championship.”
He turns back around to face Damon, once again practically going nose to nose with The Unforgiven.
Kasey Kash: ”It makes me fucking sick to my stomach. That you of all people have the fucking gall to tell me I don’t deserve where I am right now? I should drop you where you fucking stand, Cross.”
A moment passes… neither Kasey nor Damon are backing down any time soon.
Kasey Kash: ”I should put a fucking end to you, make sure you’re not the first to hold both belts. What a fitting fucking end it would be for you, Damon. Someone ‘like me’ ending your storied career… but I wouldn’t want to leave Danni to have to bury a second boy toy…”
A smirk forms on the face of Kasey Kash as he says that, the reaction from the crowd is loud enough that he can hear it, and he loves it.
Kasey Kash: ”Poor Danni… being left all on her own again… actually… she shouldn’t be the one I should feel sorry for… no no no, you see… I should be feeling sorry for Li… having to lose a father for a second time… the poor girl.”
The echo from inside the arena matches the sudden intake of breath from the collective of folks gathered in catering, security included, tells the tale:
Kasey crossed a line.
Damon Cross: Kasey… you listen to me VERY carefully.
Damon’s voice gets even softer, the two mens’ noses definitely touching, with Damon’s eyes right back on Kash’s.
Damon Cross: You speak of my wife and daughter with respect in your tone, boy… because I’ll do the time with a smile on my face and a song in my heart if you cross that fucking line. You get where I’m comin’ from, motherfucker?!
Even as a whisper, the threat–no, the promise, is clear. It’s at that moment that security swarms in, getting between the two. Damon does not linger; he gathers his book and walks off, shouldering through security without a word. Meanwhile, Kash merely turns to watch him leave, cracking a sinister grin before likewise pushing through the black shirts to head back to his locker room.

Main Event/#1 Contender To The Undisputed Title
Kai Morgan vs. Damon Cross
~DING DING DING~
Kai Morgan and Damon Cross circle up in the ring. They pause for a quick fist bump then step in and lock up tight, collar & elbow. At ringside, Danni Deballion stands beside her and Cross’ adopted daughter, Leina Rael-Deballion, who sits on commentary with Seth Ernst and Miranda Augustino. Cross acts as the aggressor first, twisting Morgan’s arm into a wristlock. Morgan breaks free, twisting out and catching Cross with a rear waistlock but Cross breaks the hold with his thumbs. He throws a back elbow, spinning himself around but Morgan ducks, catches his waist and snatches him off the mat with a Northern Lights Suplex with a bridge.
ONE!
Cross kicks out! Morgan pops up and hits the ropes, coming off of them for an early attempt at the Six Shooter! Cross’ eyes go wide, knowing the danger of this move but he manages to catch Morgan by the leg as he stands up. Morgan shoots for an enziguri but Cross ducks but Morgan throws the same foot back for a Mule Kick, knocking Cross back. Morgan pops up and both men hit the ropes, coming at each other like a pair of bullet trains but Cross drops down, causing Morgan to have to jump over his prone body. Cross pops up as Morgan comes back around and Morgan hits a leap frog. Cross runs to the ropes and comes back. Morgan goes for his own back body drop but Cross dives over him, catches his waist and pulls Morgan down into a Sunset Flip pin!
ONE!
Morgan kicks out! He rolls back up onto his knees and stares down with Cross as the Ziggo Dome applaus the athleticism of both men. The two get up and circle around again, stepping in for another lockup This time it’s Morgan who throws on an arm wringer and brings forearms down onto Cross’ arm a few times. He whips Cross into the ropes and takes him down with a drop toehold, looking to catch him in an STF but Cross makes it to the ropes for the break. Morgan lets up on the hold and steps back, letting Cross make it to his feet but as soon as he’s up, he goes for another Irish Whip but Cross reverses it, sending him into the ropes. Cross looks for a discus forearm but Morgan ducks, comes back off the other side and shoulder blocks Cross as hard as he can, causing the man to stagger. They square up, getting nose to nose; Cross asking Morgan if that’s all he’s got. Morgan asks him if he thinks he can do better and invites him to run the ropes himself. Cross obliges, coming off the ropes and drives his shoulder into Morgan like a steamroller. Morgan staggers but stays vertical, slapping Cross in the chest with both hands, telling him he’s gotta do better than that. Cross invites Morgan to take his turn. Morgan hits the ropes and Cross comes right in behind him, running past, hitting the ropes and catching Morgan with a lariat in the center of the ring. Cover by Cross!
ONE!
T–
T–
Morgan kicks out with authority! Cross stays on the offensive now, pulling Morgan up to his feet and backs him into a corner. He uses the distance across the ring and his strength to violently whip Morgan across the mat into the other turnbuckle and comes in with a big European Uppercut to boot. Cross picks Morgan up and sits him on the top turnbuckle, climbing up with him to look for a Superplex. They exchange fists to decide whether or not this is going to happen but it certainly is as Cross rocks Morgan with a headbutt, picks him up and the two come crashing down with a big Superplex that sees Cross float over into a cover with a hook of the leg.
ONE!
TWO!
NO!
TWO!
NO!
Morgan throws the shoulder up again! Cross comes up onto his feet, waiting for Morgan to sit up and delivers a Yakuza Kick to his seated opponent. He follows up with a Standing Moonsault and hooks the leg again.
ONE!
TWO!
NO!
TWO!
NO!
Morgan kicks out again! Cross pulls him to his feet and starts setting up for the Black Crucifixion (Slingshot Falcon Arrow) but as Morgan’s legs bounce off the ropes, he manages to propel himself through faster than Cross intended and land on his feet, slipping from the Unforgiven’s grip. Cross whips around and sees Morgan’s foot flying at his face before he hits the mat from a Superkick! Cross is out on the mat as Morgan hurries to the top turnbuckle of the nearest corner. He taunts a little but wastes no time before coming off with a Diving Elbow Drop for a cover!
ONE!
TWO!
KICK OUT BY CROSS!
TWO!
KICK OUT BY CROSS!
Cross sits up, blinking away the stars as Morgan hurries up to his feet. He backs up and the crowd anticipates his next move with a rising pop as he makes a bow & arrow motion at the back of Cross’ head. Morgan then hits the ropes and dashes in, nailing Cross with F.B.S (First Born Son)!! V-TRIGGER TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!! Cross drops back down!! Morgan covers!!! Hook of the leg!!
ONE!
TWO!
TH–NO!!!
TWO!
TH–NO!!!
Morgan sits back on his knees in disbelief, grabbing his head in his hands, almost seeming to plead with the referee that it was three but Senior Official Yumi Akiyama insists it was only two. Morgan runs his hands down his face and regains his cool, nodding to himself. He picks Cross up and sets him up for Second Sonnet (Double Underhook Facebuster) but Cross juuuuust manages to slip out! He goes for a Discus Forearm to Morgan who ducks out of the way. Cross skids to a stop before he can accidentally nail the referee. He holds up his hands in apology to the lady, turns around and barely dives out of the way as Morgan comes flying in with a Bicycle Knee Strike, NAILING the official in the head!!!! Referee Akiyama goes down!!!! Morgan’s eyes go wide in horror as he realizes the accident made and stands over to try and check on her. When he turns back around, Cross looks for the Black Crucifixion again but Morgan slips down and catches Cross around the neck, bending him backward before snapping him to the mat with Dysphoria (Swinging Reverse STO)!! Morgan covers out of instinct but the referee’s not there to count it! Morgan gets up out of the cover and goes to check on the Senior Official again. She’s starting to stir but not by much. As he’s doing this, Cross sits up on his side and shakes the stars out. He stumbles up to his feet as Morgan gets back to his and starts backing away from the ref, but before he can turn around to his opponent again, Cross snatches him off the mat and spikes him with Weight of the World (Omega Driver)!! Cross covers for the pin with a victorious yell but Yumi Akiyama is still writhing on the mat. Now it’s his turn to check on the referee, seeing if she’s alright. The crowd starts to boo then as they catch movement from the tunnel.
Seth Ernst: Aw, what the hell is this now?!
Miranda Augustino: You ain’t got no business here, hombre!
Leina Rael-Deballion: Get the f*ck outta here!
This is being said, of course, as Undisputed Champion Kasey Kash comes running down to the ring with the title in hand. He slides in behind Damon Cross and readies the belt to strike whenever he turns around. He’s sneering, hunched and ready to go when Kai Morgan comes to, sees what’s going on and grabs him to stop him. Kash turns around and the two friends start arguing. Kash is jabbing a finger into Morgan’s chest telling him he deserves this shot on general principle alone. Morgan argues back that he doesn’t wanna win the match this way and implores Kash to let him handle it on his own. Cross hears the arguing behind him and turns to see Kasey Kash in the ring. He’s immediately furious as he whips the man around, kicks him in the midsection and goes for the Dragonfire DDT but on instinct, seeing his friend in danger, Kai Morgan launches into a Superkick to Damon Cross!!!!! Cross grabs his mouth and falls back into the ropes. Morgan checks on Kash, ensuring he’s okay just as the referee comes to and sees all three men in the ring. Kash rolls out of the ring and Kai Morgan asks him to just leave. When he turns back to the match, Cross is on his feet and nails him with a boot, followed by the Dragonfire DDT (Double-Arm DDT) into the mat! He pops up, feeling the fire within as he looks around at the crowd but when he turns back in the direction of the stage, all he sees is the Undisputed Championship flying full bore at his face as Kasey Kash NAILS him with it!!!!!! Referee Yumi Akiyama’s had enough and she calls for the bell!
~DING DING DING~
Thea Crawford: The winner of this match, as a result of a disqualification, Damon Cross!!
Seth Ernst: Not the way either of these competitors wanted this match to end, I imagine!
Leina Rael-Deballion: This is some SH*T, YO!!!
Danni Deballion immediately comes over to calm down her enraged daughter as “God Is Dead” begins to play but as Damon Cross starts getting up to his knees, Kasey Kash runs in and drops him with Going The Distance (Shining Wizard)!!! The crowd boos again as the music stops and Kash gets down in Cross’ face, shoving the Undisputed Title against it, telling him he’s the one that’ll never see this belt as long as he’s breathing, not the other way around. “You Only Live Once” plays as Kasey Kash stands in the center of the ring, hoisting the championship high in the air, extending his other arm out to the side to soak in the hate from the Amsterdam crowd.
As the credits begin to appear on the bottom of the screen, we see a furious General Manager, Isabella Santiago in her office, slapping her desk as she stands in front of the screen. She stares hard at the screen, fuming with a cold look in her eyes as the show fades to black….
Winner: Damon Cross
