NFW Presents: MARCH MAYHEM! 03/25/2023! Mar 25, 2023 11:33:58 GMT -8

Post by Steven Brody, CEO on Mar 25, 2023 11:33:58 GMT -8

==========================================================

The scene opens up in the parking lot of the Vlad Memorial Coliseum. A pink Lexus pulls up in one of the parking spots. Opening the drivers side door is Abigail “Serenity” Lindsay. She closes the door, walks around to the back to pop the drunk. She pulls out a red duffle bag. Noticing the camera zoomed in on her, she waves.

Abigail Lindsay: “On my way to the arena, I was reflecting on the moment that brought me here. Well. The woman I followed to join forces with to be more precise. I was content being apart of the ride. Having fun. Exerting a lil salacious intent. Then I was fine showing the world how unnatural of a force I actually was, to the tune of two hundred and forty days. My two plus year run in this company has been mired in being part of a collective. Heh, I’m getting all the puns out the way early, don’t mind me.”

Abigail giggles.

Abigail Lindsay: “In case you all forgot two years and some change ago my journey started on the blue brand. Trauma. I wasn’t here for very long. Collison wanted me and Sela more, I guess. Or Isabella didn’t want me badly enough, anywho, it’s quite ironic I am getting my first singles championship opportunity in NFW on a blue branded pay per view, doubly ironic, it is not for a NFW sanctioned championship buuuuuuuuuuut, NFW alums like Damon Cross. Crystal Caldwell... it’s Caldwell this week right? Wanna make sure. ”

She waits for confirmation from the camera man. Once she gets the signal of what Crystal’s last name is this week, she continues.

Abigail Lindsay: Can’t forget about my Morgy! Hey Ace! Know you’re watching. We can clank championships after I win!

Abigail blows a kiss at the camera.

Abigail Lindsay: “NFW has the MULTIUNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP on lockdown. Shame Crystal had to drop the ball or else I would be facing her tonight to bring the MULTIUNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP back to The Kingdom. Bet Crystal can’t forget The Kingdom whooping dat ass when she was on Collision. Morgan whooped that ass. Mary whooped dat ass. Am I leaving anyone out? If I am, I’m sooo sawry. Been a long day. Last minute work out. Being reminded of Jamie Austin's existence.”

“Anywho -- ”

Abigail yawns.

Abigail Lindsay: -- as silly as this might sound, I want The Kingdom to be proud of little ole me. I want to make my contribution professionally. Look at the championships The Kingdom have gobbled up since their formation, I don’t want to be the girl who didn’t add to the legacy. Professionally speaking, I shall represent The Kingdom to the fullest extent of my abilities. And that is why tonight is super important, as great as it is to finally get a shot at a singles championship, this isn’t about me. This is about the brand. I shall do it for the brand, damn it! So... hashtag Behold The Kingdom. Hashtag raise the roof... woot woot!”

Abigail slams the drunk. She walks to the arena as the scene fades to black.

==========================================================

Madoka Kawada: The following contest is one fall, and it is for the Splat Multiuniversal Championship! It will be contested under Splat Championship Rules of Engagement. Introducing first, the challenger!

A loud purrrrrrrrrring engine can be heard from somewhere in the arena. The chorus of “Wreak Havoc” by Skylar Grey begins the play. Suddenly, a motorcycle burst from backstage. It stops at the top of the ramp, the person driving the motorcycle briefly takes off her helmet, revealing herself to be Abigail Lindsay.

Madoka Kawada: She hails from Los Angeles, California! Welcome to the ring, Abigail! Lindsay!

She places the helmet back on and drives down to the ringside area. She circles the ring twice. The bike comes to a halt. Serenity slides off, takes off her helmet. She hops on the apron, proving how flexible she is she lifts one leg off, then drops in a full split. She slides under the bottom rope. She slumps down into the corner waiting for the match to start.

Madoka Kawada: And her opponent!

Bring it on by Memoremains kicks in as the fans let out loud cheers for the challenger. Out comes Hayley Fien, stopping at the top of the ramp to survey the crowd. She’s showered with jeers as she holds up the Multiuniversal Championship.

Madoka Kawada: Coming to the ring, hailing from Wildwood, New Jersey. She is the reigning Splat Multiuniversal Champion! This is Hayley Fien!

She walks down to the ring, not taking the time to acknowledge the fans that are booing her on, remnants of her tainted championship win at the Denzel Porter Invitational still fresh in their minds. Hayley gets into the ring and stands in the middle of it, soaking everything in.

Skylar Rayner: Welcome to March Mayhem! Newly crowned Mulitiuniversal Champion, Hayley Fien with her first title defense against Abigail Lindsay, who’s looked really impressive as of late here in NFW. She’s gotten the attention of Splat who gave her this opportunity. Can she snatch that title away from Hayley Fien after the controversial finish to her title win last month at the Denzel Porter Invitational?

Jazmin Davis: That remains to be seen. It seems that was just the start for our Multiuniversal Champion as her attitude as done a complete 180, especially back in 5BW, her home fed.

The bell rings.

Jazmin Davis: And there’s the bell to start this match.

The two competitors circle the ring, but the chants of the fans seem to be getting to Hayley already as she stops to look out at the hostile NFW crowd. She angrily kicks at the bottom rope. The referee has to get her attention to get her back into this match as she yells at the fans.

Skylar Rayner: The fans here at NFW already giving Hayley a hard time.

Jazmin Davis: Of course! We’re on Lindsay’s home turf.

Hayley is back in the match as they circle before locking up. Immediately, Fien pulls Lindsay into a headlock before spinning behind her into a reverse hammerlock. Lindsay is quick to drop down and takes Fien to the match with a trip, floats around into a front chancery.

Fien to her knees as she grabs the arm, spins it around, flipping Lindsay over and they both get to their feet with Hayley taking the arm bar, but Lindsay rolls through to her feet and takes the armbar for herself instead. She rolls across Fien’s back and flips her over with arm drag and they both get to their feet. Fien screaming at this crowd after being flustered by Lindsay early on.

Skylar Rayner: Fien stepping through the ropes to the apron to jaw with some fans at ringside, but she needs to keep her focus on Abigail Lindsay in the ring.

Jazmin Davis: Actually, intentional or not, Hayley Fien just stopped all of Lindsay’s momentum in this match by stepping onto the apron.

Fien steps back into the ring and as the two circle, they step to the center and lock up, but Fien pushes Lindsay into the corner. The referee asks for a break, but instead, Fien gives Lindsay a hard chop across the chest followed by a second. Lindsay quickly snatches Fien and spins her into the corner and delivers a couple of chops.

Fien reverses it and gives a couple of chops. She whips Lindsay, but Lindsay reverses it, sending Fien to the corner. Thinking Lindsay was following her in, Fien uses the ropes to leap up, but Lindsay stops short and as Fien drops back down to her feet, she turns into a hard chop and then another before Lindsay sends her across the ring, Fien reverses. Lindsay rebounds off the ropes, ducks a clothesline, comes off with a tilt-a-whirl, but Fien hangs on, looking to drop her with a tombstone, but Lindsay kicks out and attempts a piledriver, but Fien gives her a backdrop.

Lindsay crawls to the corner, getting to her feet as Fien charges in. Lindsay kicks a foot up and Fien runs with into it. Lindsay hops onto the second turnbuckle and drops Fien with a bulldog. First cover of the night!

One.

Two.

Kickout by Fien.

They get to their feet, Fien is a little disoriented after that bulldog and walks into a headlock takeover and Lindsay has her on the mat. Fien is trying to keep her shoulder off the mat, but then reaches underneath Lindsay and rolls her onto her back.

One.

Two.

Lindsay kicks and rolls back over, keeping that headlock in place.

Fien rolls to her knees and they get to their feet. Fien drives a knee into the midsection and then another, forcing Lindsay into the corner. Fien with a chop, then she whips Lindsay towards the corner only for Lindsay to reverse it and Fien flies up over the turnbuckle, hits the apron and rolls out onto the floor.

Skylar Rayner: That was quite the fall for the champion!

Fien appears to be fine as she pulls herself to her feet, only to be hit hard with a baseball slide as she crashes into the guardrailing behind her. Lindsay to the outside. She climbs the turnbuckle and flies off. Fien tries to dodge, but gets hit anyway, but Lindsay also catches her elbow on the guardrail and clutches at it as she hits the ground.

Jazmin Davis: Abigail Lindsay flexing her hand, trying to get the feeling back into it as she gets to her feet.

Lindsay grabs a handful of Fien’s hair, pulling her to her feet and then whipping her across and into the guardrail. Lindsay stalks over and hammers Fien with a couple of punches before bringing her back towards the ring and rolling her inside.

Fien is quickly to her feet, however, and Lindsay gets up onto the apron, Fien hammers her with a punch and then locks her in for a suplex as she tells the fans to shut up. She lifts Lindsay up and over, but Lindsay lands on her feet behind Fien. Lindsay runs the ropes only to be caught with a huge side slam. Lindsay clutches her back and rolls to the outside.

Skylar Rayner: Quick reminder that the referee has no jurisdiction outside of the ring. Anything goes. They can only stop the match if one participant can no longer continue.

Fien rolls out of the ring as well and lifts the apron, pulling out a steel chair that she sets up outside of the ring. She brings Lindsay over and slams her head first into the steel chair. She rolls Lindsay back into the ring and covers!

One.

Two.

Th---Kickout by Abigail Lindsay.

Flustered, Fien pulls Lindsay to her feet by her hair and slams her head first into the turnbuckle and as Lindsay slumps into the corner, Fien delivers several stomps to the midsection until Lindsay is seated into the corner.

Fien crawls out of the ring and sets up the chair again. She grabs Lindsay by the feet and just yanks her from the ring as Lindsay crashes back first onto the steel chair. She rolls Lindsay back into the ring and crawls in for the cover.

One.

Two.

Lindsay shoots her arm into the air.

Fien gets to her feet and yells at the fans who are still giving her a hard time. Lindsay is clutching at her back as she gets to her feet, but Fien comes over and pushes her through the ropes and Lindsay lands hard on the floor.

Fien follows her out, but Lindsay is already on her feet and Fien hits her with a punch. Fien drives Lindsay’s head into the guard rail and then chops her hard across the chest. But that seems to fire up Lindsay as she fires back with a chop of her own. In the aisle, Fien and Linsday trade chops back and forth before chops turning into punches and they trade those.

Lindsay tries to ram Fien’s head into the guardrail, but Fien reverses it, smashing Lindsay’s head into the railing and then Fien drags Lindsay’s forehead across the guard rail. Fien takes Lindsay by the hair and brings her back to ringside where she whips her into the guardrail. As Lindsay gets to her feet, she’s clubbed in the back of the neck by Fien’s elbow.

Fien kicks the chair into position and looks to be dropping Abigail on it, but instead, Abigail spins it around and DDT’s Fien right onto the chair as the fans pop huge.

Jazmin Davis: They’re both down. Normally the referee wouldn’t have much to say, but that was a nasty DDT outside of the ring. He’s heading out to check to make sure they both can continue.

There are no countouts in Splat title match, so the referee checks on Fien and then checks on Lindsay and then motions that the match will continues. Lindsay rolls onto her stomach and then gets to her feet. She grabs Fien and rolls her into the ring and crawls over for the count.

One.

Two.

Thre---kickout by Fien.

Lindsay pulls up Fien and hoists her up for a body slam, but Fien escapes behind her and drops her hard with an inverted DDT. Cover!

One.

Two.

Th---kickout by Lindsay!

Fien looks upset, accusing the referee of counting slow. Fien stalks over and reaches for Lindsay who drives several fists into her gut, but Fien drives Lindsay head first into the mat.

Fien whips Lindsay into the ropes. Lindsay leaps up and over into a sunset flip!

One.

Two.

Th—kickout by Fien.

Schoolgirl by Lindsay!

One.

Two.

Thre---kickout by Fien.

They get to their feet, but Lindsay with a backslide!

One.

Two.

Thre----kickout by Fien.

Lindsay charges Fien, who lifts her up and over the top rope and Lindsay crashes hard on the floor. Fien goes out but Abigail drops her with a DDT onto the steel chair that’s lying outside of the ring from before! Again, both competitors are down.

Again, the referee is checking on both wrestlers and signaling the match will continue.

Lindsay is the first to her feet as she rolls into the ring. Tired, she uses the ropes to pull herself to her feet and looks down at Fien who’s finally coming around. Fien is pushing herself to her feet when Lindsay runs the ropes and seems to look for a dive, but as she gets through the ropes, Fien raises the steel chair up and wallops her right in the top of the head and Lindsay just slumps over the second rope, partially hanging outside of the ring.

Skylar Rayner: I think that’s legal! Lindsay’s head is outside of the ring when Fien hit her with the chair. Fien is back in the ring.

Jazmin Davis: She’s got her tied up!

One.

Two.

Three!!!!

The bell rings.

Skylar Rayner: Give that assist to the steel chair, but by hook or crook Hayley Fien was planning on walking out of here with the championship!

Jazmin Davis: You got that right.

Madoka Kawada: The winner of the match and STILL Splat Multiuniversal Champion! Hayley! Fien!

Exhausted, Hayley snatches the championship from the referee as she bails from the ring as the crowd boos her like crazy. The referee is tending to Abigail who’s just now coming around as Fien walks up the ramp towards the back, holding the championship high in the air.

Jazmin Davis: Hayley Fien’s first title defense is in the books and she’s looking to be a different breed of champion that the Multiuniversal Championship hasn’t seen yet.

Skylar Rayner: March Mayhem isn’t over yet. We want to thank NFW for hosting us this month. We’ll be taken part of Ravenfest next month, so don’t you dare miss that! For all of us here at Splat, enjoy the rest of March Mayhem and we’ll see you next month!

Winner: Hayley Fien
Result: Pinfall (Chairshot)
=Still MultiUniversalChampion=

==========================================================

The scene opens with the familiar backdrop of a Heroes for Hire logo, one that we haven't seen in months. Emerging onto the scene, alone, is the leader of the group - Your Hero and Mine, Mark Storm. Storm runs his fingers through his beard, his eyes diverted away from the camera.

Mark Storm: "We only just started to scratch the surface..."

He sighs, nodding his head in frustration.

Mark Storm: "But we had something going, didn't we? It was something special."

He smiles, lamenting over the good times.

Mark Storm: "It was a spark, that rejuvenated the wrestling world, not just here in New Frontier Wrestling, but everywhere else too. Week after week, show after show, we'd go out there and deliver our all for these fans, putting it all on the line and showing why we were the best stable around... we had the NFW World Trios Championships, I had the opportunity to cement my name as a staple, premier singles star but then... things happened, injuries and disagreements, personal lives and so on... our momentum stifled and we went back to the drawing board, hoping that we could one day pick up that special spark, and go again!

Storm clenches his fist, allowing his smile to grow into a grin.

Mark Storm: "Ladies and Gentlemen, that special spark has only just started to rekindle... it's firing up and now me and the boys, we're feeling the full force of it. Day by day, we've been sitting on the fence, watching vigilantly from our comfort zones, yearning for that feeling of combat. We've sat by watching for far too long... and now it's time to get back what's ours."

Emerging onto the scene are his compatriots; Liam Richardson, Miles Watson and Takashi Shinobu, all sporting Heroes for Hire gear as they embrace.

Mark Storm: "The deadliest group in professional wrestling is back and we're back, on some vengeance. When I said, we only just started to scratch the surface - I wasn't telling no lies... and now, we're digging deep into the thick of it. My companions here, they went on to hold onto those Trio's titles for one hundred and forty four days and still, they aren't satisfied with the way that reign went. They're not satisfied and they've been to the top of the mountaintop, but that's thing, once you've been there already - you get this itch, this urge to get right back there again, by any means necessary!

I've been to the top of the mountaintop and that's exactly where we're planning to go. To the tippy-top of this promotion, yet again, like we once were, except we never fulfilled the prophecy, we never carried out our vision of what we wanted to do here in New Frontier Wrestling... or at least on my part, I never got to achieve the one thing that lured me here... The Undisputed TITLE... that's in my sights, I'll say it right now just so everybody knows, I'm not playing no games. My intentions are clear and I'll run through whatever scumbag... whatever lowlife, whatever maggot piece of shit, that wants to step up to the challenge and test me - I'll put them down, no questions asked!"

Storm has a menacing look in his eyes as he pauses, recollecting his thoughts as he paces around, allowing his companions to hype him up as he pauses again.

Mark Storm: "Our vision remains clear, our prophecy, is to become the most prestigious faction in all of professional wrestling, and that's something we're going to solidify here, that's a guarantee. So whilst all of your favorites bicker and bitch about who should have what and so on, we'll patiently bide our time... rack up our wins, coming for whatever challenge put in front of us, and steam rolling through it. The Heroes for Hire, are back in service!"

The scene fades, with all four men abruptly leaving the frame.

==========================================================

Thea Crawford: The following contest is for the NFW Trios Tag Championships! Introducing first, the challengers! They are: Lady Death, Santa Muerta, and La Profita. La Sirvientas de Yum Kimil!!!

“Horror Show” begins to play as the arena goes dark and a red and green spotlight appears on the stage and Lady Death and Santa Muerta stand there, their faces painted up and in matching ring gear. Santa Muerta has on a crown of flowers as the two of them look at each other and nod before heading down the ramp. They ignore the fans as they get to the ring and climb up the steps. Santa Meurta leaps over the top rope as Lady Death steps between the ropes. Santa Muerta gets down on her knees and removes her crown before bowing and Lady Death stands over her, letting out a blood curdling scream as the lights come on and the two of them stand up and walk over to their corner where La Profeta has suddenly appeared.

Thea Crawford: And their opponents: they are the NFW Trios Tag Champions. Representing the Queens of Chaos: Zara Ivory and The Deathriders, Lilith and Kaya Parker!

"Bow Down" by I Prevail starts playing as Kaya Parker, Lilith Parker, and Zara Ivory come out from the back. All 3 of the women have smirks on their faces as 3 individual spotlights come together to form one large on, showcasing them. They start making their way down the ramp, the Trios Championships around their waists as they do so. The sisters continue to the ring as Zara pauses in front of a young fan long enough to give them her helmet before she joins the sisters in the ring. The Queens of Chaos take their titles from around their waists and hold them high in the air, a look of confidence crossing their faces as the music dies down and they wait for the match to start.

Up on the stage, General Manager LeeAnn Viskan stands beside the Wheel of Mayhem with a microphone in hand.

LeeAnn Viskan: Chicago! Are you ready for MARCH! FUCKING! MAYHEM?!

Chicago goes wild as, without wasting another moment, LeeAnn turns and spins the wheel. In contrast to previous weeks, this time, as the wheel starts turning, there’s an ominous sound from the speakers for dramatic effect as the lights dim down and a spotlight shines down on the wheel itself.

Seth Ernst: What’s it gonna be?

Miranda Augustino: Ohhhhh maaaaaaan…

And the wheel crawls to a stop.

LeeAnn Viskan: This match, ladies and gentlemen…is a TORNADO! TAG MATCH!

Seth Ernst: OHHHHHHHH MAN!!! Throw the rule book out the window right from the get go, Mir!!

Miranda Augustino: We got ourselves a goddamn street fight!!!

~DING DING DING~

The bell sounds with all six women in the ring. Immediately, they begin to pair off. Profita and Kaya pair off with one another, Lady Death and Lilith pair off with each other, and Santa Muerta and Zara pair off with all six of them just beginning an all out brawl between each other. The Siervientas begin to get the upper hand, Profita throwing Kaya out of the ring with Santa Muerta doing the same to Zara before the three of them begin to surround Lilith. The three women grin as they look at Lilith who looks around at all three of them, fists clenched before she goes right at Profita, swinging away at her before Lady Death and Santa Muerta swarm her and begin beating her down. Profita backs off, yelling at her partners to take Lilith out as they bring her to her feet and Lady Death picks Lilith up and powerbombs her into an assisted back stabber by Santa Muerta.

Seth Ernst: Siervientas are masters of this style of match and it’s showing early on.

Miranda Augustino: You can never count out the Queens of Chaos though, these bitches are tough.

Before the three of them can do anything else, Kaya and Zara are back in the ring, both with steel chairs as they crack both Lady Death and Santa Muerta over the head with them dropping them to the mat. The two of them help Zara up to her feet as now, they surround Profita who looks at them and then at her downed comrades before dropping to her knees, pleading with the Queens to spare her. She begs, but the three of them don’t back off as they pick Profita up and begin to ping pong her around the three of them with forearms before Zara delivers a roundhouse kick that sends her stumbling to Lilith who picks Profita up into a delayed vertical suplex position and Kaya delivers a running boot to the head of Profita before Lilith drops her down into a brainbuster. Lilith then floats over and goes for a cover.

1…

2…

Profita gets a shoulder up!

Seth Ernst: It looks like the Queens are turning the numbers to their advantage now.

Miranda Augustino: I told you not to count them out early, Seth!

Lilith and Zara look out at the floor where they see both Santa Muerta and Lady Death getting up to their feet. They look at each other before both hitting the ropes and diving, both of them delivering stereo suicide dives to the other two. They get to their feet, picking Santa Muerta and Lady Death up and the four of them are once again brawling. Inside of the ring, Kaya has Profita to her feet, sending her into the ropes. Profita rebounds and as she does, she’s met with a headbutt by Kaya and staggers back for Kaya grabs her and delivers a spinning backfist, followed by a snap suplex before she goes for a cover.

1…

2…

Lady Death dives in and makes the save.

Seth Ernst: The Queens seem to be in full control right now.

Miranda Augustino: For now, but Siervientas are relentless and refuse to go down easily.

Lady Death picks Kaya up and sends her into the corner. As Kaya hits the turnbuckle, Santa Muerta is up on the apron and the two of them charge in, Lady Death delivering a running boot with Santa Muerta delivering a gamanguri to the back of the head of Kaya. Lady Death pulls Kaya out of the corner as she delivers a backbreaker to her and Santa Muerta climbs to the top rope and dives, delivering a double stomp to the chest of Kaya before she goes for a cover.

1…

2…

Kaya manages to roll her shoulder up at two.

As they get to their feet, Zara and Lilith are back in the ring, both charging at the their challengers. Lady Death and Santa Muerta side step them, causing Zara and Lilith to almost crash into one another, but they stop at the last second. As they do, Lady Death and Santa Muerta grab them, delivering stereo German suplexes. They get to their feet, but as they do, Lilith is up on the top rope and takes both of them out with a diving crossbody. Profita slides back into the ring, grabbing Lilith by the hair and delivering a slap to the face followed up by hair pulled beal that causes Lilith to crash face first into the mat. Profita immediately goes for a cover.

1…

2…

Kaya dives in and makes the save.

Kaya picks Profita up and dumps her out of the ring before she picks both Zara and Lilith up and the three of them grab Santa Muerta and Kaya delivers a spinning back fist before Zara hits a roundhouse kick and Lilith finishes it off with a discus big boot that drops her. They pick Santa Muerta up and toss her out of the ring as Lady Death is getting to her feet. They surround her and Zara hits a spinning heel kick before Kaya delivers a pele kick and Lilith hits a straight jacket suplex. Zara then climbs to the top rope and she delivers Violence causes Silence as Lilith and Kaya take Profita and Santa Muerta out and Zara hooks the leg.

1…

2…

3!

~DING DING DING~

Thea Crawford: Here are your winners and STILL NFW Trios Champions, The Queens of Chaos!

Seth Ernst: What a battle to kick off the show.

Miranda Augustino: Another statement by The Queens.

Winners: The Queens of Chaos
Result: Pinfall (Violence Causes Silence)
=Still NFW Trios Champions=

==========================================================

Alexandra was backstage watching over the clip where Nakita had come out to save Ayu, playing the hero. That move was something Alexandra came to expect of Nakita, but this was not Alexandra’s way, she had not chosen the way of the hero, turning it off, she turned to look at the camera.

Alexandra Calaway: Nakita, first off, let me say, HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

She laughed softly, shaking her head for a moment before she began to speak again.

Alexandra Calaway: Nakita, what drives you? What’s your passion? I know that you have this.. Warrior spirit that resides within you. But I need to know what is there, besides that? You see, when you know what a person wants, you know what can kill them. Or in this case, use what they love most, to end them.

She shrugged looking into the camera, before standing and picking up her Genesis Championship. She looked at it for a moment, knowing that soon, she would stand across the ring from someone she thought had been her friend. A stable mate, someone who should have had her back, no matter what internal struggle to fight against the evil, they may have felt was coming.

Alexandra Calaway: I never wanted it to go this far. I had hoped you would see that we were doing what needed to be done. However, you seem to still be holding onto your sense of heroism. I respect you Nakita, but that was a foolish move to make. Now you see where that choice has lead us.

She motioned for the camera to follow her as she walked out of her locker room. The camera was in front of her now, as she walked towards the position to get ready to go out to the ring.

Alexandra Calaway: Since this match was announced, you and I both know you've been faltering. I could see it in your posts on social media. You aren’t fearful, but I know you wonder if we will be able to overcome this. You want to fix me.

She pulled the camera close, staring directly into it. Her voice is as cold as her expression. Showing nothing behind her eyes as if she was a slasher in a horror film. A monster in the darkness, waiting to strike out.

Alexandra Calaway: Have you thought there isn’t anything to fix? I’m fine just the way I am. But since you feel the need to play hero, come on, let's dance. I’m not done teaching you a lesson. A lesson you should have learned while in the service. NEVER BETRAY YOUR TEAM. Run.. Nakita.. Run…

She shoved the camera back and walked to prepare to take her spot for her entrance.

Post by Steven Brody, CEO on Mar 25, 2023 13:33:06 GMT -8

Thea Crawford: The following contest will be for the NFW Genesis Championship! Introducing the challenger, hailing from Cobb County, Georgia, Nakita Niles!

The camera pans around the NFW arena as the fans are now waiting for the next match. That's when "Still Unbroken" by Lynyrd Skynyrd hits the P.A system.

♫ Broken bones, broken hearts

Stripped down and torn apart

A little bit of rust, I'm still runnin' ♫

That's when Nakita Niles comes out, and the fans cheer. She's wearing a pink camouflage top, pink Camouflage cargo pants, black military boots, pink camouflage wristbands with red, white, and blue strings on it.

♫ Countin' miles, countin' tears

Twisted roads, shiftin' gears

Year after year, it's all or nothin' ♫

She looks at the fans and gives them a salute. She then lowers her hand as she begins to walk down the ramp. She slaps the hands of the fans before stopping at the end of the ramp.

♫ But I'm not home, I'm not lost

Still holdin' on to what I got

Ain't much left

No there's so much that's been stolen

I guess I've lost everything I've had

But I'm not dead, at least not yet

Still alone, still alive, still unbroken ♫

She looks up at the ceiling and points up to the sky. Suddenly her music stops and there’s a record scratching sound, before “Mine” by Halestorm starts to play. Nakita stops looking around, she turns to face up the ramp not realizing Alexandra slipped out from behind the barricade and climbed onto the ring apron.

Alexandra seemed to have planned this, lining it up, she pointed at Nakita with her fingers like a gun, before she jumped off the apron, bulldogging Nakita onto the ramp. She made it to her knees and smirked, smiling down at Nakita and picking her up a little, the microphone strong enough to pick up Alexandra’s voice.

“COME ON NAKITA.. SHOW ME HOW TOUGH OF A SOLDIER YOU ARE!”

As the two continue to brawl at ringside, LeeAnn Viskan watches for a moment, shrugs at the camera and starts spinning the wheel. The shot cuts back to Nakita and Alexandra fighting it out some more before the camera focuses on the wheel and it slows to a stop. LeeAnn laughs to herself and raises the microphone.

LeeAnn Viskan: Well, well, carry on ladies! Because this match is officially FALLS! COUNT! ANYWHERE!

Miranda Augustino: Still haven't found that rule book, it seems Seth!

Seth Ernst: Si mon carnal!

Miranda Augustino: For the love of god, don't you ever say that again.

~DING DING DING~

As the bell sounds, Alexandra has Nakita by the hair, dragging her down the ramp towards the ring. She picks Nakita up and sends her into the barricade before charging in and delivering a clothesline that sends Nakita flying over and into the crowd. Alexandra hops over the barricade, picking Nakita back up, delivering a couple well placed forearms to the chin of Nakita, causing her to stumble backwards. Alexandra grabs a cup from one of the fans, taking a sip from it before smashing the cup over the head of Nakita. Alexandra yells at some of the fans to move out of the way as they all begin to scatter out of the way.

Seth Ernst: What does Alexandra have planned here? It could be anything, but it’s sure to be painful for Nakita.

Miranda Augustino: Well, it was Nakita’s Birthday and Alexandra did say she had a surprise for the puta, maybe our Queen of Destruction has decided to help Nakita realize she’s not cut out for this industry. Or maybe Alexandra is using all the pent up anger she’s had the past few weeks to take it out on Nakita for interrupting her attacks on Ayu, with what seems like a new partnership between Alexandra Calaway and Lana Corvin. Mama's bitches always give 110%.

Seth Ernst: What’s up with that? Alexandra is a Queen of Chaos, she shouldn’t be fighting the others.

Miranda Augustino: She is not just A Queen of Chaos, she’s one of the two founding members. Alexandra is simply showing those within the group that she’s more than just a figurehead, she’s not afraid to get in there and show them what happens when you get involved in situations that don’t involve you. Let’s get back to the action.

Alexandra moves to set up Nakita for a suplex, however, Nakita counters and tosses Alexandra back first into the chairs. Alexandra cringes, holding onto her back. Nakita comes over, pulling Alexandra up into a seat, before delivering multiple punches to her. Nakita is on the attack now, grabbing Alexandra and tossing her back over the barricade. She follows quickly, taking Alexandra by the hair again, not giving her a moment to recover, before she tosses Alexandra into the corner barricade. Nakita shows off to the fans, holding her signature salute. Alexandra starts to recover, before running towards Nakita and sending her flying into the other barricade with a spear. The two women are down and trying to recover.

Seth Ernst: Holy shit, Alexandra just used a running Spear on Nakita, sending her clear across the area from where she had been, into the barricade on the other side.

Miranda Augustino: Well that’s what Nakita gets. She stuck her nose in Alexandra’s business a few weeks ago. Alexandra has the experience of a veteran, Nakita is a soldier, this isn’t a comparison, both of these women are tough.

Alexandra glares down at Nakita, her eyes fixed on the woman, she starts to walk back into the ring, before she looks over her shoulder at the woman. Turning back around she runs at Nakita and delivers a V-Trigger to Nakita’s head, slamming her into the barricade. When Alexandra flips her hair back, she pushes off the barricade with an evil smirk on her face. She goes under the ring and pulls out a black bag before climbing into the ring, she holds it up, focused on it for a moment before she opens it and drops thumbtacks all over the mat. They shimmer in the lights while falling to the mat.

Seth Ernst: Oh god.. No.. Nakita’s pretty face.. I know what that evil bitch has in mind.

Miranda Augustino: YES! This is exactly what the people want, listen to them. The cheering.

Alexandra turns and looks for Nakita who was out of the ring at the time. She doesn’t see her and turns to see Nakita and goes to hit her with another spear. Nakita catches her and hits a 180 spinebuster to Alexandra directly into the thumbtacks. Alexandra cringes in pain and Nakita goes for the cover, looking to finish it early.

ONE!

KICKOUT!

Seth Ernst: No! How did she kick out of that?

Miranda Augustino: Because she’s a seasoned veteran and there was something about that hit that makes you wonder just how much more Alexandra can take. But one thing is for sure, these two women are giving it their all.

Alexandra gets to her knees, so does Nakita, both of them have thumbtacks pressed into their skin. Alexandra brushes them off her arms. Before she grabs a handful of them and rolls around with Nakita, before shoving them into her mouth and putting her into the On Death's Door a double arm crossface on Nakita. She locks it in, holding it for a few moments, with Nakita’s belly pushing down into the thumbtacks. Nakita finally gets Alexandra’s hands out of her mouth and spits out the thumbtacks before rolling Alexandra back into them, before making it to her feet and grabbing Alexandra’s arms, before repeatedly shoving Alexandra’s back into them.

Seth Ernst: Nakita is definitely taking it to Alexandra.

Miranda Augustino: Give it time, Alexandra is playing with her now. Like a lioness with a meal. She won’t peel back the curtain until she’s fully made sure Nakita knows what’s up.

Nakita rolls out of the ring and tries to put some distance between her and Alexandra. You can tell the both of them are bleeding all over the place. Nakita has blood slipping from the corners of her mouth and Alexandra has it pouring out of her back, from all the tiny spots. Alexandra rolls out of the ring with an audible oof, as she hits the mat outside the ring, driving the thumbtacks into her body. Nakita runs back down the ramp and kicks Alexandra back into the apron, before dragging Alexandra up the ramp by her hair. She drops her at the top of the ramp. It’s not looking so good for Alexandra who has now made it to her knees. Nakita grabs a steel chair from the audience and pulls it up the ramp, she lifts it, looking Alexandra in her face. You can see she’s warring with the thought in her head to crack Alexandra over the skull with it. She freezes, Alexandra can be heard screaming at her.

“DO IT.. DO IT! COME ON, END ME!! THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT!!”

Alexandra continued to taunt her. Nakita turned away looking at the chair, before she turned around and cracked Alexandra over the head with it. Alexandra crumpled onto the stage, blood pouring from her forehead. Nakita stared down at her before looking at the top of the tron. She grabs a table, setting it up. She smirks and drags Alexandra closer, positioning her properly on the table, before the woman climbs to the top of the tron, before looking out over the crowd. She dives off giving Alexandra an elbow drop. The two women crash through the table. Nakita is on top of her so the referee starts to count.

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT!

Seth Ernst: HOLY SHIT… Alexandra kicked out. How did she manage to do that?

Miranda Augustino: Nakita might be tough, but Alexandra is tougher, she’s been doing this since she was nineteen years old. The woman’s done all this before. She’s not going down without a fight.

Alexandra rolls out of the rubble of the broken table with Nakita doing the same. The two women start stumbling into the back with the poor referee following after them.

Seth Ernst: Well it was Nakita’s birthday yesterday.. So that was fitting. But a quick kick out from the challenger.

Miranda Augustino: Yes but wait.. Is that?

A hooded figure opens a door, knocking Nakita to the floor. Alexandra grabs her and pulls her towards a table where a big birthday cake with red, white and blue frosting sits. She cups Nakita’s face in her hands before smirking, to kiss her forehead. Shoving her face in the cake, blood mixing with the frosting on Nakita’s face. Alexandra pulls her off the cake before licking her face and laughing like a maniac. She lifts Nakita and gives her a last ride through the cake and table. Alexandra attempts for a pinfall now, dragging her out of the cake.

ONE!

TWO!

Alexandra grabs Nakita and pulls her up out of the cake, pulling her to her knees. Alexandra sees a roll of barbed wire. She gives Nakita a spin kick to the head, sending her down to the cement flooring below. Alexandra moves to grab the barbed wire, rolling it into the middle of the hallway. She grabs her and drags her over to the barbed wire, pulling Nakita to her feet. She lifts Nakita up and hits her with the Fallen Angel and goes for the pin.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

~DING DING DING~

She leans down and kisses Nakita’s head. Before standing up, the referee held Alexandra’s arm up in the air. Lana flips her hood back and walks over holding Alexandra up. When the referee drop Alexandra's hand giving her the title back, there's an embrace by Lana and Alexandra. Back in the ring, Thea announces her win.

Thea Crawford: Here is your winner, by way of pinfall..."AAAAND STILL GENESIS CHAMPION ALEXANDRA CALAWAY!!!”

Winner: ALEXANDRA CALAWAY
Result: PINFALL (Fallen Angel)
=Still Genesis Champion=

==========================================================

Previously recorded.

It begins with darkness… and then a soft voice with a British accent resonates.

“I made a promise.”

This camera reveals the early rising of the sun over Mt. Hope Cemetery in San Diego, California. Dressed in black save for a red tie, Nathaniel Dixon stands in a small field of sunflowers. Two gravestones are set next to each other in this field.

Caleigh Evelyn Dixon-Kennedy
Henri Mylan Kennedy
June 1st, 1995

This is the resting place of his older sister and his brother-in-law.

Nathaniel Dixon: “When I finally become a professional wrestler, I will become a champion. I’ll do it for us, Cal.”

He chuckles softly. A gentle breeze caresses him and dances through his dark curly locks.

Nathaniel Dixon: I was ten. A young boy with eyes so bright… I didn’t see how dark the world truly was. Literally days before my thirteenth birthday, they were taken from me in a heartbeat. I was forced to suspend my real dream of becoming a professional wrestler for many years… until the year 2012.

A short clip from the archives of EXODUS Pro is played, showing off a younger and far more cocky Nathaniel Dixon in the ring. His debut was a successful one, scoring the victory with the same finisher he uses now: “Evolutionary Imperative” (European Uppercut).

Nathaniel Dixon: The Owner of EXODUS did not appreciate my style and he released me from the company not too long after my professional debut. It was his loss. The inside controversy and mistreatment of the majority of his employees led to the company’s closure within the next two years. Between then and 2015 when I was the co-owner of East Coast Wrestling Alliance, I competed in the Indies. House shows and the occasional guest appearance. Running a wrestling company was fun, but that was not my passion. My fellow co-owner was an old traditionalist. A fool who didn’t believe men and women should compete against each other. Clearly, he never anticipated that in the near future, the majority of champions in several wrestling companies… were women. Funny, isn’t it?

There’s a showcase of clips revealing the majority of the NFW Champions.

Tag-Team Champions, the Emperor Aces.
Trios Champions, the Queens of Chaos.
Genesis Champion, Alexandra Calaway.
Zodiac Champion, Diamond Steele.
United States Champion, Ayu Megumi.
Destiny Champion, Jenn Drew.
World Heavyweight Champion, Morgan Payne.

Then it returns to the visual of Nathaniel with a sad smile on his face. So many championships, so many opportunities, and yet… He’s never won the gold. Not once.

Nathaniel Dixon: My wrestling career temporarily slowed down after 2015. I was still performing, but there was nothing special of note. It wasn’t until 2018 that I made my debut in HYBRID Wrestling.

Another clip of his HYBRID: Unleashed debut plays. Once again, he was victorious -- this time with his submission finisher: “So Very Sinful” (Pentagram Choke). Nathaniel was a classier man this time around, less cocky, and more professional.

Nathaniel Dixon: However, I was dealt a terrible hand. I was forced to deal with a short-sighted, piss-poor little woman with no professionalism and no acknowledgment of my skills… Lucia King. Even though I took the fight to her, she defeated me… and dismissed it. No credit. Nothing. She treated me like a joke. Bloody Hell. Some people wondered if that was the reason why I left the company.

No.

In my life, family always comes first. An uncontrollable chaos was unleashed upon the Dixon bloodline in September of 2018 and I had to once again suspend my professional wrestling career to protect them. I won’t go into detail, but that wasn’t the only sacrifice made. My baby sister, Ryleigh, lost a real opportunity for love. Of course, we discovered years later that it was pointless… But I digress.

The visual returns to the field of sunflowers. Your Lord of Charisma shakes his head slowly, takes a deep breath, and lets it out slowly.

Nathaniel Dixon: Finally, we reach May of 2021. Yes… after the bloody pandemic slowed the entire world to a painful crawl, I made my debut in New Frontier Wrestling.

There’s a new clip of Nathaniel’s first-ever appearance in NFW at Manifest Destiny II. It was quite a shock, one that the Chicago fans would never forget. His debut against Jimmy Bones started with playfulness but led to viciousness the moment Jimmy insulted his oldest niece, Ami Kennedy. He scored the victory with ease and qualified for the Guardians of the Pyramid when he defeated Trixie Decker. His battle in a steel cage with Anton Crowley, the man who would become the vessel of Lord Lucifer, for the Undisputed Championship was fierce and intense. Alas, he was defeated. His matches on the NFW Tour in Japan were truly entertaining.

Nathaniel Dixon: I may be the Owner and CEO of Dixon Corporate Enterprises in San Diego, but wrestling is my real passion. This is my dream… No. This is our dream.

Shifting back to Nathaniel, he gazes upon the gravestone of his late older sister. His earth-colored eyes are full of sorrow and yet he manages to smile.

Nathaniel Dixon: Unfortunately, Mr. Kyle Jacob Brantley decided to make things personal.

Another old clip -- this one from Collision instead of Trauma -- reveals Kai Morgan threatening Ami with a steel chair right under her chin. If it wasn’t for Luthor Callaway’s sacrifice, Kai would have struck Ami over her head with the weapon. A series of clips follow suit. Nathaniel retaliates without hesitation and joins NFW in the war against Zion. He’d even catch Kai off guard and strangle him with a piano wire! There was bad blood between the two and everything would finally come to a head at Invasion: NFW vs. ZION in February of 2022. The Ultimate Battleground was sick with violence and gore. Kai would bloody Nathaniel by swinging the steel door right into his forehead. Nathaniel would return the favor by raking Kai’s face on the steel fence like a cheese grater. In the end, Team NFW was victorious, tying the score and saving the company from shutting down.

Nathaniel Dixon: My bloody curse finally ended. Mr. Brantley’s blood was on my hands. Yet for some reason, the Chaos Circus appeared and abducted him. The Ringmaster stole my unfinished business. Unfortunately, fate would not allow me to settle things with my rival for a long, long time…

Between now and then, I continued to fight -- not just in NFW, but in various companies. UGWC, The Entity, XIX Wrestling, Quantum MMA, Pro Wrestling Excellence, and HYBRID rEvolution. Yet no matter how hard I fought, the promise I made to Caleigh was growing weaker and weaker…

That means absolutely nothing to Mr. Damon Alexander Debaillion. For someone who was livid when Mr. Kasey Kash spoke ill of his daughter’s late biological father…? For him to turn around and speak ill of my late older sister?!

Hypocrite.

The view returns to Nathaniel for a moment, a glaring expression upon his features. His hands are tightly clenched into fists, a sunflower in his right hand crushed by the pressure. Then a series of clips presents itself of his encounters with Damon Cross both in and out of the ring. The intensity between the two is frightening.

Nathaniel Dixon: You were never the Redeemer, Damon. That was nothing but a lie to woo the young lady who would become your lawfully-wedded wife, Danielle Lydia Anderson. In reality, you are and will always be the Villain.

The God of Ascension.
The Black Ronin.
The Crossroads Demon.

You’re such a horrible influence on Leina… She knows there’s a monster within you, doesn’t she? The poor little girl… Careful, Cross. If you keep this up, you’ll resemble “the Bad Man” who murdered her father in cold blood. Anthony Crawford… I believe was his name.

When it returns to London’s Master Manipulator, there’s a shadow over his eyes. He turns and kneels before the resting place of his deceased family.

Nathaniel Dixon: For them… I will fight. Always and forever.

Then slowly, everything fades to black.

NFW Presents: MARCH MAYHEM! 03/25/2023! Mar 25, 2023 14:16:05 GMT -8

Post by Steven Brody, CEO on Mar 25, 2023 14:16:05 GMT -8

As 'I Am The Fire' by Halestorm beings to play, the camera focuses on the center of the ring where Thea Crawford is standing, ready to announce the next match.

Thea Crawford: Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for our next contest! Introducing first, she weighs in at 165 pounds and hails from Las Vegas, Nevada. She is “Dat Girl”...DIAMOND CALDWELL!!!

Diamond walks out onto the stage. She is met with a chorus of boos. She stands there putting her hands together. Cracking her knuckles she storms down to the ring with an unmistakable purpose. Once she gets to the ring she slides under the bottom rope. Pulling herself up, she walks over to the turnbuckle. Deciding to take a seat in the corner, she rest her arms on the middle rope. The blank expression on her face is quite telling. She mentally went into a place that’s chilling as she waits for her music to stop playing.

Thea Crawford: And introducing her opponent…

"Unbreakable" by Kingdom Collapse blasts out of the PA system and as soon as Jonathan Norris belts out the word Unbreakable, "Unbreakable" Stacy Jones bursts out through the curtain and walks over to one side of the stage looking out to the fans and throwing up the devil's horns with her hands before then proceeding to walk over to the opposite side of the stage and doing the same thing. She then walks back to the center of the stage and when the word Unbreakable is sung again, she along with the fans yell it out too at the same time before she begins to make her way down the ramp, slapping the fans hands on the way.

Thea Crawford: She weighs in at 150 pounds and hails from New York City, New York. She is “Unbreakable”...STACY JONES!!!

Once she reaches the bottom of the ramp, she continues slapping the fans hands who continue to scream out the words of the song with Jones. She then hops up onto the ring apron and climbs through the ropes before scaling the turnbuckle and with a closed fist she pumps it into the air along with the drum beat while the fans do the same. She then hops down and moves to the center of the ring and as the final Unbreakable is belted out before the song ends, Jones throws up the devil's horns.

As the two stand inside the ring, waiting to see what their fate for the night is, LeeAnn Viskan takes hold of the wheel and spins it for the third time tonight. The lights dim and the spotlight focuses on the device as it spins round and round and round, finally stopping on - as the lights come back up…

LeeAnn Viskan: This match…is a LAST! WOMAN! STANDING MATCH!

Chicago goes WILD as Diamond and Stacy look from the stage and lock eyes with each other. Both are practically chomping at the bit to get to one another. The referee makes sure they’re ready, calls for the bell and…

~DING DING DING~

The sound of the bell had barely disappeared before the two women went at each other, the rage clear in Stacy’s eyes as she locked up with Diamond. It was clear that there was no rage from Diamond since she felt like she was doing what she needed to do in order to ‘protect’ Stacy. The lock-up was going nowhere for a few seconds as the two women seemed evenly matched, but Caldwell was able to gain control and overpower Jones. She had Jones trapped in a side headlock and was steadily applying pressure. Stacy began grabbing at Diamond before ultimately trying to go for a couple of side elbows. Seeing it coming, Caldwell was quick to flip Jones onto the mat, releasing the headlock to put her knee in the middle of Stacy’s back as she grabbed her arms and pulled back on them. Stacy gritted her teeth, determined not to give Diamond any satisfaction by letting out any kind of reaction to the pain that the move was causing.

Diamond Caldwell: You should have stayed gone, Stacy! If you would have stayed gone, you wouldn’t be going through this right now!

At those words, Stacy let out a sound though it was more of a noise of enragement rather than pain. Somehow, Stacy managed to claw at Diamond’s face from when the woman had gotten a little closer to her when she spoke. Caldwell let out an agitated yell as she released the hold on Jones, grabbing at her face for a moment. It was enough time for Stacy to get back to her feet, a glare coming to her face as she charged at Diamond and nailed her with a hard dropkick to the center of her back. Caldwell stumbled forward towards the turnbuckle, but she managed to catch herself just before there was any kind of impact. She turned with a sneer, staring at Stacy who had already made her way closer to her. Before Diamond could react, Stacy grabbed her and executed a beautiful suplex, slamming the other woman to the mat roughly. Jones popped back up to her feet quickly and turned on Caldwell. She went to lift the woman to her feet, but Diamond caught her off guard with a hard uppercut, sending Stacy stumbling back. Caldwell took the opportunity to quickly roll out of the ring, immediately looking under the ring for a weapon. She grabbed a chair and slid it into the ring, a smirk on her face as she did so.

Seth Ernst: Diamond stunning Stacy long enough to get out of the ring…looks like she’s going for a weapon early in the match!

Miranda Augusto: That perra tried taking Stacy out before, and tonight it looks like she’ll stoop to any level to try and do it again!

Stacy was quick to roll out of the ring as well when she realized Diamond had done so, but she wasn’t able to grab the other woman before another chair was pulled out from under the ring, this time kept in the hands of Diamond instead of being sent elsewhere. As she charged at Caldwell, the other woman swung the chair and nailed Jones right over the head! A sickening crack came from the impact, and Jones immediately dropped, holding her head as she curled up on the floor. Diamond lifted the chair again, this time bringing it down across Stacy’s back with a hard thud not just once or twice but three times! She tossed the chair down as she watched Jones finally quit moving around on the floor, both women starting to breathe heavily for different reasons. Caldwell looked up at the referee with a smirk, yelling for the count to be started. Trying to keep an impartial look on their face, the referee began the count as Diamond backed up a few steps, leaning against the barricade.

ONE…

TWO…

THREE…

FO-

Stacy had managed to make her way over to the ring and used the apron to pull herself back to her feet, streaks of blood running down her face from the vicious chair shot. The look on Diamond’s face was unreadable though it was clear she was not happy that Jones had gotten back to her feet! Caldwell grabbed the chair again and charged after Stacy only for the other woman to cause her to fall into the chair face first with a drop toe hold! She grabbed Diamond, getting the woman to her feet before sending her into the barrier with a hard Irish whip, slamming her back first in the long run. She looked at the dropped chair before ultimately deciding to go under the ring, pulling out a black, aluminum baseball bat. As Caldwell pushed herself off of the barricade, Jones nailed her in the abdomen with the bat, taking the wind out of the other woman before bringing the bat down over her head multiple times with repeated cracks that busted the other woman open as well!

Stacy Jones: You screwed up when you came after my career, Diamond!

Tossing the bat down, Stacy climbed onto the ring apron and began egging Diamond on, motioning for her to get closer. As Caldwell got closer to the corner of the ring, Jones ran along the apron and slingshotted herself around the post, going for a hurricanarana. What she wasn’t expecting was for Diamond to hang onto her only to lift and powerbomb her onto the apron instead! Stacy cried out as she fell to the floor at ringside. She immediately began crawling through the pain, ignoring Diamond shaking her head at the punishment that the other woman was willing to go through to try and prove a point. Caldwell stalked Jones as she used the barrier to pull herself up with a determined look on her face as she turned towards the other woman. Thinking quickly, Stacy ran at Diamond and nailed her with a hard spear onto the previously dropped chair, the impact from the hard steel causing Caldwell to arch her back! Jones slowly climbed into the ring, watching Caldwell closely as the referee started counting again.

ONE…

TWO…

THREE…

FOUR…

FIV-

Diamond managed to pull herself up and into the ring by the apron, stopping the count as she stood on shaky feet. Neither of the women were willing to stay down, not without more of a fight at least. Jones shook her head at the woman across from her, blood dripping down both of their faces in the process. The crowd was on their feet, cheering loudly as the match continued on with both women having a score to settle with the other. After a few more seconds of the staredown, Caldwell began heading towards Jones only for the woman to jump and nail her with The Bat-Hammer, sending the woman down to the mat. Stacy made her way to the corner as Diamond got back to her feet and stumbled over towards her, leading Jones to jump up to the second rope. She went for Unbowed but was met with a quick kick to the back of the head as she began to flip, causing her to hit the mat instead! Stacy let out a groan as Diamond picked her up, going for The Diamond Driver, but a few elbows to the side of the head caused her to release the move!

Miranda Augusto: Quick thinking from Stacy right there…The Diamond Driver could have been the determining move in this match!

Seth Ernst: Both women have been giving it their all, both with a point to prove to each other.

Caldwell let out a cry of frustration before grabbing Jones again, nailing her with a vicious suplex to give herself a moment. She stared at the downed woman for a moment, frustration starting to show on her face as Stacy began pulling herself up with the ropes. Diamond moved to grab Stacy again, this time tossing her hard into the corner. Jones’ back slammed hard against the turnbuckle only for Caldwell to come after her again, looking to nail her with a vicious suplex. Stacy quickly threw a few hard kicks at Diamond, managing to land a couple of them, getting the woman to back off. Jones noticed the chair that was put in the ring earlier then glanced at the ropes and slid out of them before Caldwell began coming at her. Using the ropes for leverage, Stacy went over them and caught Diamond with an Unbreakable Cutter, slamming her down on the chair. Having an opening, Jones quickly climbed to the top of the turnbuckle, waiting and watching as Caldwell slowly began getting back to her feet. As Diamond stumbled towards the corner, Stacy leapt off of the top and nailed her with a beautiful Remember Who You Are. Jones pulled herself up with the ropes as the referee began the count.

ONE…

TWO…

THREE…

FOUR…

FIVE…

SIX…

SEVEN…

EIGHT…

NINE…

TEN…!

~DING DING DING~

Thea Crawford: Here is your winner…”Unbreakable” STACY JONES!!!

The referee briefly raised Stacy’s arm in victory before moving to check on Diamond. Stacy looked down at the other woman for a moment before rolling out of the ring to head to the back to be checked out by medical as "Unbreakable" by Kingdom Collapse played throughout the arena.

Winner: Stacy Jones
Result: Diamond didn’t answer ref’s count

==========================================================

Ayu sat in a locker room without a word with Usagi Senshi by her side. Ayu just sat looking at the wall and a chair next to the NFW United States Champion was placed on the chair. Usagi was energizing Ayu as Ayu slowly. There was a smile on her face before she turned to look at Usagi sitting next to her with a smile, meanwhile Usagi looked at Ayu with the kind smile on her little girlfriend's face. of Ayu with a smile before Usagi embraces Ayu before she releases Ayu and sits there looking at her like that.

Usagi Senshi: Ayu, I don't want you to worry about this match. I want you to do what you always do. Look forward to doing everything you have. There's nothing for you to worry about. And I don't want you to listen to your doubters. Don't listen to anyone who says you're not good enough, Ayu, I'm going to say I'm proud of everything you've done. like all the fans here They're all proud of what you do, so don't let people like Lana Corvin diminish what you've done. And the championship isn't all yours. As I told you that one day we will all lose. But whatever you do, no one here will forget for sure, they're out there supporting you. They cheered you on because you're Ayu Megumi, not because you're NFW United States Champion. It doesn't matter if you have a champion or not after tonight ends Ayu, I want to say now that you have nothing to regret about it. Now I don't need you to talk to me. I don't need you to say anything. Go out there and do your best. Ayu I already know what you can do so go out there and fight Lana and no matter what happens don't be sad cause what will happen. must be born You just have to start over. Don't forget that everyone here supports you. and they appreciate you You always have me by my side so no matter what happens tonight you will always be my The Amazing Girl.

Usagi said then she hugged Ayu again before scene fade away.

==========================================================

The view is of darkness at first. Then, like lightning, the stage of Collision is shown with the lights going off, backed up by the opening to “Fallen Angels” by Ra. Long-time fans will remember this music as the first to accompany Damon Cross as he began his first rise in NFW. Wars with Jansen Myrrh and the Kingdom, predominantly in the form of the man now known as Javier Mateo Duran and Marilyn Matthews signified Damon’s genesis from the Black Ronin to the Redeemer. His first World Heavyweight Championship is shown with a victory over the aforementioned Matthews and the joy that followed. This leads to a match with former Undisputed Champion Anton Crowley in which Damon came out on top only to be waylaid by Matthews, using her long-held title shot to regain her gold.

"You see, I'm kinda paranoid
My luck, it seems to have run out
So I will point the finger now
Beyond the shadow of a doubt

I see fallen angels
When I try to go to sleep
And they're always watching
I see fallen angels
As I'm walking in the streets
Silently preparing
For what they'll do to me"

From there comes the rise to his second championship win over Matthews, fittingly backed up by State of Mine’s “Rise”. The challengers came hot and heavy after this second reign began, attacking in the form of Yukiko Kusanagi, Jonna Austin, and others. Damon met each challenge head-on, as the highlights show, responding in kind to the respect or lack thereof shown by his adversaries. Yet the time invariably came when someone got the better of him and, in their third one-on-one encounter, the rubber match fittingly, Javier Mateo Duran took the belt from the Redeemer. It is an odd mix of emotions on Damon’s face at the battle’s conclusion, showing both dejection for his reign having ended and respect for the man who took the belt from him.

"Oh, ye of so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Victory is in my veins
I know it, I know it
And I will not negotiate
I'll fight it, I'll fight it
I will transform (I will transform)

When, when the fire's at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling (circling)
They're whispering (whispering)
"You're out of time," but still, I rise
This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in (nail is in)
Think again (think again)
Don't be surprised, I will still rise!"

From here, in time, came the shift to Trauma… and the weight of disrespect and lack of direction weighing down on Cross. The music shifts once again, this time to “God is Dead?” by Black Sabbath. From his first night on the other brand, he made it clear that he desired the Undisputed Championship, making an attempt to lift the title from the grasp of Kasey Kash at first, but falling short in the champion’s match of choice, the Wolf Creek Street Fight. It was Kai Morgan who would take the gold from Kash instead, leading to Damon’s focus shifting. Terming himself now the Unforgiven, Damon hounds Kai, seeking his opportunity to fight for the gold. But matters are complicated when Nathaniel Dixon inserts himself into the situation, taking us to the here and now.

Lost in the darkness
I fade from the light
Faith of my father, my brother, my Maker and Savior
Help me make it through the night
Blood on my conscious
And murder in mind
Out of the gloom I rise up from my tomb into impending doom
Now my body is my shrine

The blood runs free
The rain turns red
Give me the wine
You keep the bread

The voices echo in my head
Is God alive or is God dead?
Is God dead?

From here we see moments between the Intellectual Evolution and the Unforgiven, via matches and segments, leading up to the here and now… the music fading out, only to be replaced with the smooth, calm, quiet voice of Damon himself.

Damon Cross: When it’s all said and done, I want it stated, for the record, that I tried.

As the montage ends, Damon is shown sitting at a table in an otherwise-darkened room, a single light shining down upon him and the table at which he sits. Most of his face is shrouded, owing to the position of the light and his slightly-lowered head. Before him on the table, in front of his gloved, folded hands, are four objects:

A familiar book, a polished black-and-silver cane, a polished green apple, and a familiar white mask.

Damon Cross: Kai Morgan, you took your shot. It wasn’t enough. Then you picked the scraps left behind by another man’s cowardice without fear or favor. Professional to professional? I would have done the same. However, I would have seen to it that the poor sap who dirtied my victory with his grubby hands had crooked fingers before all was said and done. Now, far be it from me to question your manhood, but considering how much you go on about wanting a good fight out of me, I find it a little suspect that you would just… let Nathaniel slide. Yet you did. So be it.

Unlacing his fingers, Damon reaches out and touches the mask. It is a pristine white, with little in the way of distinguishing characteristics save for what looks like tribal art of a butterfly wing in black around the mask’s right eye hole. If there is some significance to this, we are left in the dark about it. Damon picks it up, and we can feel his smirk as he holds it before his face… which we still can’t see anyway.

Then he puts it back down, but not before laughing softly for some reason.

Damon Cross: As for you, Nathaniel, well… as I said before, I tried. Despite your ill-fated instigation of this war, I attempted to take it in stride. You were given every chance to explain yourself, to justify your idiotic actions. But said explanations were either non-existent or simply found wanting. By all rights, I should have kicked down your door and caved your face in. But instead, out of curiosity and perhaps amusement, I just kept feeding you rope until you eventually hung yourself with it.

He holds up two fingers.

Damon Cross: Twice, Nathaniel. Twice you struck me without call, instigating violence before slinking off like the worm you are. And twice I allowed you to do so. Yes, allowed. During my match with Kai and when you came up, you inserted yourself in my presence at Trauma and reacted to the truth with a right hand to the jaw. Twice. Either time I could have put a very physical end to you. But I didn’t. And tonight, you’re going to find out why.

The apple is next, lifted so that a large bite could be taken from it. Damon takes a black silk handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the juices from his lips, then has a few more bites before putting the half-eaten fruit aside. This done, he opens the book to a seemingly random page and reads from the contents, the first time anyone has heard or seen anything from within that ever-present tome:

“From the first moment he had beheld his shadow, he knew it would ever remain at his side. Sometimes silent, as such things tend to be, but never out of sight. The faint chill would remind him of such when comfort came too easily. Yet never did he deny it. Though it be anathema to the happiness he had forged in these long years, still he welcomed its presence as one might an old friend, oft-unseen but never forgotten. For that is how it goes with darkness; it is inescapable, the light we forever seek to bathe in owing its very being to its figurative, literal, and existential counterpart. We cannot have one without the other. And true power comes when a man or woman has the control, the foresight, to understand the need for both and to welcome each… for why else do we have two hands?”

He closes the book after that with a soft clap, tapping his gloved fingers atop it for a few moments before speaking.

Damon Cross: But in the end, this isn’t even about you, Nathaniel. This is about history. It’s about doing something no one else has done before in this company. It is about undeniable, irrefutable dominance and proving one’s skill and worth in a way that even the most grievous of haters could not deny. When I take that Undisputed Championship, history will rest in my hands. All eyes will lift to the heavens, and standing at the pinnacle will be the Unforgiven. The only thing left uncertain is the how…

Something that amuses Damon a little; none of them know how the match is going to be decided, since they’re literally leaving the match type to chance. He hardly seems to mind, though. Instead, he rises from the chair and takes the book under his arm, picking up the mask and cane, but leaving the apple unfinished. Before he leaves, though, he leaves a final message for his opponents.

Damon Cross: This is an inevitability in its purest form, gentlemen. The time is nigh for there to be a new chapter written. Blood will be my ink to pen this tale. YOUR blood. Gold will be the seal that marks it as the Gospel. The gold of the Undisputed Championship. And you WILL say my name.

Turning, Damon leaves the room, with the camera focusing on the apple for a moment before the scene fades to black.

NFW Presents: MARCH MAYHEM! 03/25/2023! Mar 25, 2023 14:45:11 GMT -8

Thea Crawford: The following contest is for the UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP. Introducing the challenger from Los Angeles, California, she is Favored of the Goddess, LANA CORVIN!!!!

The arena lights slowly fade out. Throughout the arena cell phone lights sporadically pop up in the darkness. The arena was suddenly filled with the loud cawing of a single crow. After a few moments, it was joined by another. Then more and more join in. Before long the arena was filled with the sound of cawing crows. The cawing was replaced with a multitude of beating wings. The sound of a large group of birds flying rises to a peak and then slowly fades out. Once again in silence, the arena is filled with the voice of a young girl.

People once believed that when someone dies
a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead.

Then Stabbing Westward’s cover of “Burn” starts to play throughout the arena. A spotlight finds Lana Corvin standing at the top of the ramp. Her head is down hiding her face. She throws her head back and her arms out. As she does the arena lights snap back on. Lana stands there with her head back just reveling in the negative reaction from the crowd. Slowly she lowers her head and looks right into the camera with a smirk. She points at herself arrogantly. Her gear tonight was black, white, and gold. She strolled down the ramp like she owned the place. She even heckled the occasional fan.

"Don't look don't look" the shadows breathe
Whispering me away from you
"Don't wake at night to watch her sleep
You know that you will always lose
This trembling
Adored
Tousled bird mad girl"
But every night I burn
But every night I call your name
Every night I burn
Every night I fall again

She starts to strut her way toward the ring as the lights raise and the song continues. She talks some smack with some of the more vocal and heckling members of the crowd. She returns all of their verbal jabs as only one of the Corvins can. She continues her mocking of the crowd by pointing to herself and then to the crowd in sync with the lyrics. She climbs the ring steps and then into the ring. She circles around glaring out at the crowd and talking more trash. She then runs to one set up the ropes and stands up on them raising an arm high. She jumps down and moves to her corner to wait for the match to start.

Thea Crawford: And your next competitor she is the current reigning UNITED STATES CHAMPION, AUY MEGUMI!!!!!!!!

‘LIKE IT! LOVE IT!’ by Setsuna Yuki hits as Ayu Megumi walks out to a huge ovation from the crowd while she makes her way towards the stage. Ayu High-five with the fans along the ringside with a huge smile on her face. Then she steps up into the ring by steel steps and jumps up to the top of the turnbuckle and points to the fans with a huge smile then she jumps down to the ring and asks for a handshake with her opponents. Lana refuses and just returns to her corner after looking at the title.

Up on the stage, LeeAnn spins the Wheel of Mayhem again, watching it with the crowd as it spins in a blur before landing on…

LeeAnn Viskan: This match, ladies and gentlemen…champion and challenger…is a SUBMISSION MATCH!

Seth Ernst: Oh man this match could benefit either one of these two, Mir!!

Miranda Augustino: You kidding? One of these two might go home in a cast.

~DING DING DING~

The two women stare at each other, neither one blinking as they begin to circle the ring. It doesn’t take long for the two of them to meet in the center, just laying into one another with stiff forearms to the chins. Neither one seems to be getting the better of the exchange before Lana just shoves Ayu back away from her. Ayu charges right back in, but she gets caught with an armdrag. Ayu springs back up, only to be met with another and after this, Lana catches Ayu with a standing dropkick. Lana grabs Ayu by the arm, looking to lock in an armbar, but before Lana can hyperextend the arm, Ayu is able to make it to the ropes and force the break.

Lana pulls Ayu back towards the center of the ring, bringing her up to her feet. Lana sends Ayu into the ropes and when Ayu rebounds, she’s met with a discus clothesline by Lana that drops her down hard to the mat.

Seth Ernst: Lana taking control of this match early. Can Ayu weather this storm?

Miranda Augustino: Ayu has faced some of the very best on Trauma, but Lana Corvin is on a whole different level.

Lana grabs Ayu and brings her up to her feet. She sends Ayu into the corner and charges in, but Ayu is able to move out of the way causing Lana to crash into the corner. Ayu takes a few steps back and charges in, delivering a dropkick to the back of Lana, driving her chest first into the turnbuckle once again before she grabs Lana and delivers a snap German suplex before she gets to her feet and follows it with a double stomp to the chest of Lana. Ayu grabs Lana and goes to send her into the ropes, but Lana is able to reverse it. Ayu rebounds off the ropes and ducks a clothesline attempt by Lana before stopping in her tracks and leaping, taking Lana and delivering a poisonrana, spiking Lana on top of her head. Ayu then grabs Lana and tries to lock in a Dragon Sleeper, but Lana is able to twist her body and shove Ayu off of her.

Seth Ernst: Both women have tried to end this match early.

Miranda Augustino: Both of these women want this United States Championship, Seth. They know it’s going to be a war.

The two of them come to a standstill here, both looking each other over as the crowd swells a little bit. They stand there, circling the ring before they meet in the middle with a lockup. Lana forces Ayu into the corner as the ref calls for a break. Lana delivers a hard chop to the chest of Ayu before she backs off with a smirk on her face. Ayu comes out of the corner and charges right at Lana, looking for a superman punch, but Lana is able to avoid it, grabbing Ayu by the waist and delivering a German suplex. She gets control of Ayu, picking her back up and this time, delivering a double knee gut buster.

Lana takes Ayu, bringing her back up to her feet, putting her into an abdominal stretch. Lana pulls back, causing Ayu to scream out in pain as the point of Lana’s elbow digs into the ribs of Ayu. The ref checks on Ayu who refuses to give up at this moment. Lana continues applying the pressure to Ayu, digging her elbow in deeper and harder, yelling for Ayu to give up. Ayu though, continues to fight, finally finding a way to break free before she delivers a hip toss to Lana. Ayu then hits the ropes and delivers a sliding forearm to Lana before she follows up by climbing to the top rope and hitting Lana with a corkscrew moonsault.

Seth Ernst: Neither one of these ladies seem to be able to get any sort of advantage here.

Miranda Augustino: This is what happens when two top level stars fight it out, Seth.

Ayu now grabs Lana, looking to lock in a STF. She gets the submission locked in as Lana reaches out towards the ropes. The ref checks Lana who refuses to give up. She fights and fights, and after what felt like a lifetime, is able to make it to the bottom rope to force the break. Ayu breaks the hold and gets back up to her feet. Lana uses the ropes to help herself back up and as soon as she’s on her feet, Ayu comes charging in. Lana though, lowers a shoulder and sends Ayu flying out of the ring and crashing to the floor below. Lana stumbles back and looks down as Ayu is getting up to her feet. Lana hits the ropes and looks for a suicide dive, but Ayu is able to leap and deliver a forearm to Lana, causing her to slump between the ropes. Ayu then gets back up onto the apron, grabbing Lana and delivering a neckbreaker onto the apron. Lana slumps out of the ring, hitting the floor before Ayu picks her up and sends her back into the ring.

Ayu climbs back into the ring, waiting for Lana to get back to her feet and as she does, Ayu hits her with Fatality which causes Lana to drop to the mat. Ayu sees this and she grabs Lana, looking to lock in Ayu no tapout, but as she brings Lana up, Lana grabs the head of Ayu and delivers a bulldog. Lana sits there for a moment, looking at Ayu as her expression changes.

Seth Ernst: Lana has an expression of a killer on her face now.

Miranda Augustino: This doesn’t look good for Ayu.

Lana picks Ayu up, staring her right in the eyes before she delivers not one, but two straight Hecate’s Daggers before she picks Ayu up and hits her with The Spear of Diana. Ayu crumbles to the mat as Lana takes Ayu and sits her up before she locks in a rear naked choke. Ayu gasps for breath, trying to find a way out of the hold. The referee asks Ayu if she wants to give up, but she refuses and continues to fight, trying her best to break free.

Seth Ernst: This doesn’t look good for Ayu, Mir!

Miranda Augustino: Ayu is too proud to give up. She’ll keep fighting until she can’t anymore.

Ayu continues to struggle, but the more she does, the tighter Lana locks in the hold. Ayu holds on, her eyes slowly beginning to close as her arms begin to go limp and Lana just continues applying the pressure. The referee grabs the arm of Ayu and lifts it up as it drops to the mat and immediately calls for the bell.

~DING DING DING~

Thea Crawford: Here is your winner, by way of submission..."AAAAND NEW UNITED STATES CHAMPION LANA CORVIN!!!

Seth Ernst: Ayu never gave up and both of these women gave it their all out here.

Miranda Augustino: Ayu passed out, showing she has the spirit of a warrior, but the reign of Lana Corvin begins tonight, Seth and I can’t wait for it!

Alexandra comes to ringside, takes the title from the ring announcer and walks over to Lana who is still on her knees and gives Lana the United States Championship. When Lana stands the two embrace. It’s at this point that Ash Corvin enters the ring and joins them in celebrating Lana’s big win as the scene goes backstage.

Winner: Lana Corvin
Result: By way of Submission (Pass out)
=New United States Champion=

==========================================================

We fade into footage from Trauma 89. Kai Morgan standing over his former, fallen friend Kasey Kash as he raises both of his titles over him after attacking him with his own signature weapon.

Kai Morgan: I don’t think people quite understand what I’m willing to do to get what I want…

We flash through a myriad of clips, including Morgan bashing Luthor Callaway over the head with a steel chair. Then that of him leading Zachary Porter and Ashlynn Cassidy into an NFW during the VBMT. Then that of him shaking hands with Nova Juaquin for the first time. We quite fittingly from there cut to the two of them sitting together in Morgan’s locker room, with the Undisputed Champion posed on a comfy chair with Juaquin holding his championship belt while sitting on the arm of the chair.

Kai Morgan: See, I’m the type of guy who hasn’t met an obstacle I couldn’t make my way around. Because there’s nothing I won’t do to get around it.

More footage now, as we go to Morgan’s matches with Miles Watson, Lana Corvin, Bethany Kenyon, showing all the cheap tactics he’s used to get the win in all of them. All these instances end with him winning The Undisputed Championship from Kasey Kash.

Kai Morgan: When I won this title, I figured I’d go after the very best to cement my reign. The very best, as I’ve seen it, is Damon Cross. Instead, I got met with disappointment after disappointment. Bethany Kenyon getting the first shot instead of Damon Cross? Disappointing. My match with Damon Cross being interrupted? Also a disappointment.

We go back to Trauma a few weeks ago, with Morgan telling Nova Juaquin that he wanted both competitors in the ring at March Mayhem.

Kai Morgan: So I decided that I’m done being disappointed. I decided the best way to do that is to simply get rid of both of you. So I will, and I’ll do whatever it takes to do so. This title? Is going nowhere.

Kai looks up to Nova Juaquin, who smiles back at him. Suddenly, there’s a clip that recites their final words before the main event!

Nathaniel Dixon: Yes, I’ve sworn no more promises… Only pain. However, the promise to Caleigh is one I will forever hold onto until it finally comes true. Whether it happens today or not…? Mr. Brantley and Mr. Debaillion will know the wrath of my bloody. fighting. SPIRIT!

Damon Cross: I will not be denied again. It’s about time NFW was reminded of who the fuck I am and what it means to get in my way. March Mayhem will live up to its name and you will know the reason why.

Kai Morgan: Ever since I won this title, I’ve treated it as a trophy for all those I’ve taken down. Kasey Kash, Bethany Kenyon… You both will end up being another name to add to my legacy. Bet on it.

Thea Crawford: The following contest…is a Triple Threat Match..and is for the NFW Undisputed Championship!

Thea Crawford: Introducing the challengers! First from London, England, fighting out of San Diego, California! He is the Intellectual Evolution, NATHANIEL DIXON!

As the lights of the arena fade and acoustic instruments resonate throughout, the flashes of the cameras are the only illumination in the dark. Then a red spotlight shines on the stage and Nathaniel Dixon has made his presence known. He smiles when the lead vocals of Michael Barnes set the mood with “Breathe Into Me (Remix Acústica)” by Red.

“And this is how it feels when I ignore the words you spoke to me

And this is where I lose myself when I keep running away from you!”

His fan reception is that of mixed reactions, although some of the fans take special exception to him in deep admiration. Knowing this, he chuckles softly and saunters down the ramp.

“And this is who I am when, when I don't know myself anymore

And this is what I choose when it's all left up to me…”

The Intellectual Evolution extends his right hand to a lady in the audience who accepts it and, like a gentleman, he kisses her hand. While she fangirls, he makes his way around the ring, the red spotlight following him with every step. His earth-colored eyes are focused on the ring itself. Nathaniel ascends the steel steps, enters the ring between the ropes, and he gauges the fans. A sadistic smile forms across his face before the spotlight goes out, leaving everyone in the dark.

“Breathe your life into me, I can't feel you

I'm falling... falling faster

Breathe your life into me, I still need you

I'm falling… falling, breathe into me! Breathe into me!

(BREATHE!)”

The fans stir in anticipation as red pyros shoot from all four corners of the ring. The lights immediately come back on and Nathaniel takes a bow in the center of the ring with a confident smirk.

Thea Crawford: And, from Lacombe, Louisiana! He is The Unforgiven...DAMON CROSS!!

The arena dims considerably, with the lights around the screen and stage going completely dark. There are some flashes in the crowd, some lit-up cell phones to try and break through the manufactured murk, but there is nothing to see at all once the big screen goes black as well. A few moments of silence commences, followed by the haunting guitars of the classic Black Sabbath song "God is Dead?" hauntingly emanating through the Collision Center's PA system. Smoke starts to billow from the stage at the top of the ramp and a single, murky spotlight shines down on a darkened figure standing there. Ozzy Osbourne's voice, every bit as haunting as the music behind it, starts singing as the figure, revealed as Damon Cross, starts making his way down the ramp.

Reaching the ring without so much as a glance to the crowd at large, he looks left, then right, then grabs the ropes and hauls himself up onto the apron, stepping between the ropes and moving to a neutral corner of the ring as the music hardens. The spotlight follows, but nothing gets beneath the hood until Damon throws it back. Removing the sleeveless jacket, he tosses it aside along with his silver wolf's head cane and awaits the start of the match. No gestures to the fans, no acknowledgement of their reactions or lack thereof. The lights come back on and The Unforgiven has yet to move... as if the sound of the bell is the only thing that will rouse him from his fugue state.

Thea Crawford: And, their opponent, from Detroit, Michigan, residing in Chicago, Illinois! He is The NFW Undisputed Champion, the Worldkiller, KAI MORGAN!!!!

The lights quickly go out, the only thing we’re able to hear is an old, recorded quote.

Death is...I’ll tell you, I don’t care how many screams you can hear, I don’t care how many cry.

Death is a million times accessible and more dangerous as life.
If you knew what was ahead of you, if you knew what was ahead of you, you’d be more glad and accepting over it.

The opening notes to The Used’s ”Pretty Picture” begins to play, with a single spotlight shining on the stage as the song kicks off.

My back to the wolf

With the plans that I made for the song
Can you hear me sing?
Can you hear my serenade
Never mind the irony

Under the spotlight is none other than Kai Morgan, the Undisputed Championship draped over his shoulder and being flanked by his manager Nova Juaquin! The two are the only thing in the arena bathed in the light, with the titantron behind them not even being on. They make their way down the ramp as the haunting lyrics of the song continue to play behind them. They eventually stop at the bottom of the ramp, in time to the ending of the first verse.

My back to the wolf

Fill the vats
Make a line from the back
Keep the iddy biddies calm
As we all prepare for the masquerade
For the razor blade

Just then, the lights burst to life, as Bert McCracken’s vocals scream out across every corner of the Coliseum! Kai raises the Undisputed Championship in the air!

Must have lost my way

But I sure do clean up good

Pretty picture
Do you like me?
Will you follow me?

Kai then makes his way onto the apron, with Nova following right behind him. He sits against the ropes, opening them up so that Nova can step through before entering himself! Nova begins to talk up her client to the fans, with Kai standing still in the middle of the ring, unphased by the overwhelming vitriol thrown at him by them! She talks over strategy with him, before he once again sits against the ropes and leaves them open for her to exit the ring. Kai takes to the corner, waiting for the match to start.

LeeAnn Viskan: Chicago! Are you ready for this main event?!

The crowd gets loud again as LeeAnn holds the microphone out.

LeeAnn Viskan: Let me get a HELL YEAH!!

Crowd: HELL YEAH!!!

LeeAnn Viskan: Let me get a FUCK YEAH!!

Crowd: FUCK YEAH!!!!

LeeAnn Viskan: Let me get a HOOOOO YEEEAAAH!!!!

Crowd: HOOOOO YEEEEAAAH!!!!

LeeAnn laughs wickedly, licking her lips in anticipation as she spins the wheel. This spin of the wheel seems to drag on longer than others as, apparently, LeeAnn put every bit of muscle into that spin. Finally, after a painstakingly long time, the wheel comes to a stop.

LeeAnn Viskan: This match, ladies and gentlemen...is a TABLES, LADDERS AND CHAIRS MATCH!!

Seth Ernst: WHOOAAAAA!!

Miranda Augustino: This is gonna be insane!!!

LeeAnn Viskan: Get that fucking belt above the ring!!

Senior Official Yumi Akiyama holds onto the Undisputed Championship as a cable descends down from high above the ring with a triangle shaped clasp on the end. She brings it down and wraps the belt around it, clasping the snaps and motions for the belt to be raised up about fifteen feet over the mat. She does one final check with the competitors to make sure they're ready....and calls for the bell!

~ DING DING DING ~

The bell rings as the action in the ring all comes to a stand still! The crowd’s buzzing is all that’s needed when it comes to these three, with this dream confrontation sending their fanaticism into overdrive! The rumblings between everyone in the stands begins to get louder and louder, with all three competitors still having not done a single thing but glare at their adversaries in the ring! Eventually some movement starts to pick up, with the three slowly starting to wander out of their corners! It seems like the three are bound to approach one another, until Kai Morgan makes a drastically different move, rushing towards the ropes and hopping through to escape the ring!

Damon Cross now turns towards Morgan on the outside, yelling for him to get back into the ring! He hurls insults towards the Undisputed Champion, calling him out for his cowardly behavior as Morgan just looks back at him with a cheshire grin! Nathaniel Dixon, however, isn’t concerned with Morgan at the moment, opting to instead focus on the lone man in the ring with him as he clatters Cross with a Clothesline in his corner! He tosses Cross to the mat in the center of the ring, rushing over and nailing him with another Clothesline to send him down again! He pulls Cross to his feet, measuring up his shot before walloping him across the face with an especially stiff Forearm Strike! Cross doubles back into the corner, with Dixon beginning to cut into him with a set of Shoulder Thrusts to continue the onslaught! Cross is caught a bit loopy by this point, with Dixon uncorking a European Uppercut to send him to the mat!

Cross rolls out of the ring, with Dixon hot on his trail as he pulls him up to his feet! He looks to bash his head into the barricade, only for Cross to get his hands up to block the move! He quickly takes action, knocking the wind out of Dixon’s sails by driving a back Elbow into his midsection! In a reversal of fate, Cross grabs Dixon by the head and bashes him face first into the barricade! Dixon staggers around the ringside area, with Cross rushing right up behind him and pushing straight into the steel ringsteps!

Dixon is down on the outside, with Cross’ gaze immediately being fixed to Kai Morgan on the other side of the ringside area! Immediately Morgan tries to divert Cross’ attention, throwing his hands up and imploring him to go after Dixon instead! The request very obviously falls on deaf ears with Cross, who slowly makes his way over to Morgan as he starts to back away! It doesn’t take long for Nova Juaquin to get herself involved, stepping into Cross’ path and ensuring he doesn’t get to her client! Her and Cross begin to bicker at the ringside, leaving Morgan enough time to get some distance from the action, and Dixon enough time to recover from his attack! Juaquin sees Dixon coming, stepping out of the way as he clobbers Cross from behind with a forearm! He reaches underneath the ring, with the crowd making it very clear what they want in this match up!

Crowd: WE WANT TA-BLES!!
clap clap clap clap clap
Crowd: WE WANT TA-BLES!!
clap clap clap clap clap

Dixon almost comes close to meeting the crowd’s demands, nearly pulling a table from underneath the ring! However, something else catches his attention, causing him to put the table back, much to the crowd’s dismay! He instead reaches under the ring and grabs a steel chair! But not just any steel chair…this was wrapped with barbed wire! Dixon gives the weaponry concoction a devilish grin, before winding up to take a shot with it across the back! But Cross doesn’t let it happen, instead shoving Dixon back with a Shoulder Thrust into the ring apron, causing him to drop the weapon on the ground! Cross drives a few more shoulders into Dixon’s abdomen to grind him down before pulling him towards the grounded chair! He gets Dixon in position, seemingly looking to throw him down onto that barbed wire chair with a Vertical Suplex! Dixon refuses to go up however, giving Cross all his weight before attempting to lift him up instead! He looks to drop Cross face down onto the barbed wire chair, only for Cross to land on his feet at the other side! He acts quickly, leaping over the chair and taking Dixon to the ground with a Leaping Clothesline!

Cross gets to his feet, once again locking his gaze onto the Undisputed Champion! Morgan once again tries to divert Cross’ attention, with it working just as well as it did last time, that being not at all! Cross makes his way around the ringside area, once again being stopped by Nova Juaquin! Cross gets sick of Juaquin’s interference, pushing her aside and knocking her into the barricade! The look on Morgan’s face quickly turns from confident to apoplectic as he watches this happen! Dixon comes back into the fray now, grabbing Cross by the arm and turning him around! Cross immediately reacts, throwing a stiff Uppercut straight into Dixon’s jaw before throwing him back into the ring!

Cross looms over Dixon as he tries to get back to his feet, calling for him to get up! But just then, Kai Morgan finally enters himself into the occasion, wielding a steel chair of his very own as he lays it across Cross’ back! Cross buckles to the mat as Morgan winds up again, nailing him with another shot across the back. Dixon tries to make it back to his feet, only to be felled by a chair shot from Morgan of his own! Morgan goes back and forth across Dixon and Cross’ backs with the chair, nearly breaking it in half over the two men. He takes a look at the broken chair he’s now wielding, the image seemingly bringing back some bad memories as he quickly tosses it aside!

Morgan rolls out of the ring, quickly checking on Juaquin before digging underneath the ring! The crowd once again howls in excitement, hoping Morgan might answer their plea!

Crowd: WE WANT TA-BLES!!
clap clap clap clap clap
Crowd: WE WANT TA-BLES!!
clap clap clap clap clap

Morgan pulls a table halfway from under the ring and looks out to the crowd, smiling at them all as they cheer him on! The cheers eventually sour however, with Morgan throwing up a middle finger and tossing the table back under the ring! He instead pulls out a ladder, throwing it into the back before sliding in after it! He picks up the ladder just in time for Dixon and Cross to get to their feet! He charges both of them with the ladder in hand, taking them both down with a shot from the steel! He sets the ladder up, slowly climbing up the rungs as the mat beneath him begins to wobble a bit! He eventually makes it to the top, looking to tear the title down! But Morgan makes the unfortunate, rookie mistake of looking down! Upon doing so he sees both Dixon and Cross looking back up at him, before beginning to work together to shake the ladder underneath him! This eventually causes him to come down, at which point Cross and Dixon begin to rain hell down on the Worldkiller, battering him with punches and stomps on the mat! Morgan eventually pushes himself away, sliding under the bottom rope to escape!

Cross and Dixon both follow Morgan out of the ring, continuing to lay into him with strikes! Eventually Cross gets even more aggressive, pulling Morgan back before launching him over the announce table! Dixon matches the aggression on display, picking up one of the vacant chairs of the commentary team and throwing it onto Morgan! This temporary alliance comes to an end quickly however, with Dixon turning around right into a Forearm Strike from Cross! He grabs Dixon up, before throwing him back into the ring! Cross begins to dig under the apron, with the crowd’s hopes once again igniting!

Crowd: WE WANT TA-BLES!!
clap clap clap clap clap
Crowd: WE WANT TA-BLES!!
clap clap clap clap clap

After some digging, Cross finally gives the fans what they want, pulling a table out from under the ring to rapturous applause! He slides the table back into the ring, going in after it! He quickly gets cut off by Dixon however, who nails him in the midsection with a piece of the broken steel chair! Cross buckles to the mat, with Dixon getting to his feet and setting up the table! He pulls Cross to his feet to try and put him through, only to get backed into the corner with a Shoulder Thrust! Cross sees a chance for some more damage, pushing Dixon to the top rope and getting him in position for a Superplex! Dixon begins to fight back, clobbering Cross with a few shots to the midsection before getting free! He begins to go further, nailing Cross with punches to the head before pushing him off the top turnbuckle!

Cross makes a miraculous bounce back however, backflipping from the top and landing completely clear of the table! Dixon is caught by surprise with this, deciding to improvise by launching off for a rare Diving Crossbody! Cross catches him however, popping him up onto his shoulders before parading him around the ring! He comes to regret this however, with Kai Morgan back up and in the ring, planting Cross with the Dark Matter Machine! Spear by Morgan! He acts fast, grabbing the ladder off the mat and setting it up in the center of the ring! He goes for the climb, only for Dixon to climb the other side to go after him! The two brawl at the top of the ladder, exchanging furious rights and lefts in a bid to knock the other down! This leaves Cross some time to recover, pulling himself up to his feet and grabbing the ladder!

Dixon keeps his focus tied on Morgan, who gets a glimpse downward and sees Cross beginning to manhandle the ladder! Cross eventually gets the ladder down, with Dixon tumbling to the mat and Morgan landing on his feet! He immediately rushes in, looking for another Dark Matter Machine! But Cross side steps him, sending him into the ropes! Morgan hooks his arms on the top rope, with Cross coming in to go after him! Morgan’s feet leave the mat, nailing Cross with a Kick to the chest and boosting himself over he ropes and onto the apron all at once! He goes for the next move in this signature combo of his, looking for the Slingshot Spear! But Dixon comes back to cut in, nailing him with a Knee Strike as she peaks through the ropes!

Cross and Dixon go at it again, the two striking each other with reckless abandon! Cross eventually fights Dixon back, slamming his head against the table in the ring! He pushes Dixon onto the table before attempting to move away! But Dixon clings onto his arm in hopes of bringing him back, with Cross nailing him with a few more shots to the head to keep him at bay! Cross climbs to the top rope, looming over Dixon as he looks to dive onto him! But Morgan brings his presence back into the match, jumping to the top rope before trying to drop Cross into the table and Dixon with a Springboard Hurricanrana! Cross catches him however, hoisting Morgan up the air and over the table! Dixon rolls off the table and gets out of dodge, as Cross drops the champion through it with an Avalanche Sit-Out Powerbomb!

Crowd: HO-LY SHIT!!
HO-LY SHIT!!
HO-LY SHIT!!
HO-LY SHIT!!

Cross pulls himself back to his feet, seeing that he now has an opportunity to cease! He positions the ladder back in the center of the ring before going for the climb! However, right on his heels is Dixon, climbing the other side of the ladder and exchanging strikes with his rival! They go back and forth, with Dixon getting an incredible shot that has Cross reeling! Dixon reaches for the belt, but Cross retaliates with a shot to the side of the head that stops him in his tracks! Eventually, the support of the ladder begins to tilt sideways! The pair look down to see the culprit, both of them under the shock belief that Kai Morgan has quickly recovered from his crash through the table! But it isn’t Morgan…it’s Nova Juaquin! Juaquin has the side of the ladder in hand, pushing it to ensure neither man on it steals the title away from her client! The ladder eventually comes crashing down, with Dixon coming down headfirst on the top rope and crashing to the mat!

Meanwhile, Cross lands on his feet on the mat, a sight that immediately causes the color to leave Juaquin’s face! Juaquin begins to plead with Cross as he slowly approaches her, telling him she’s not a competitor anymore, and that she’s just an advocate! This fails to work on Cross, who continues to approach her, definitely having hell for her to pay once he reaches her! Juaquin quickly escapes as Cross tries to lunge at her, sliding under the bottom rope before giving Cross a slight grin! He barely registers what this look from Juaquin could mean before turning his attention back into the ring! Just then, he gets nailed by a Six Shooter! Cross in down! Morgan sees his opportunity, quickly pulling the ladder into position before making the climb! Dixon and Cross are helpless to stop him, as they’re both still laid out around the ring! He grabs the title and yanks it down, putting an end to this match!

Miranda Augustino: That woman is an absolute pain in the ass! But goddamn, does she do her job well! Congrats to the Undisputed Champion!

Seth Ernst: Nathaniel Dixon and Damon Cross were the top of the food chain here on Trauma. So, that leaves us with the question: Who could possibly stop Kai Morgan now? I’m sure we’ll have that answer in time, but for now I’m Seth Ernst, wishing you a goodnight!

Morgan celebrates with the Undisputed Championship, coming down from the ladder before immediately wrapping his free arm around Nova Juaquin, especially thankful for her on this occasion! The two celebrate together, with Morgan raising the belt over his head as we fade to black!
