==========================================================
We cut back to ringside as the opening to “Unbreakable” by Kingdom Collapse begins to play through the PA system and as soon as the song kicks in, NFW Champion Stacy Jones walks out onto the stage with her championship draped over her shoulder as the fans cheer wildly before she begins to make her way down the ramp.Seth Ernst: Here comes the champ!
Miranda Augustino: She said she was gonna be making an appearance.
Lucas Knox: And with over half of the competitors for the Guardians of the Pyramid match decided with a couple still left to be determined, I’m sure Stacy has a lot to say about it.
Once she reaches the bottom of the ramp, she makes her way over to the steel steps and climbs up them before walking across the ring apron and climbing through the ropes. She calls for a microphone and is handed one as “Unbreakable” fades out.
Stacy Jones: So we’re just over a month away from Sudden Death… meaning we’re just over a month away from the Guardians of the Pyramid match. This is most likely going to be my first defense for what I am currently wearing over my shoulder here, the NFW Championship.
Jones removes the belt from over her shoulder and raises it up above her head and holds it there for a few moments before placing it back over her shoulder.
Stacy Jones: There is a chance that I could very well have to face off and defeat all six of the competitors who have and are yet to qualify for this match… and to say that this match is already stacked is an understatement. So far we have the likes of Alexandra Calaway… Crystal Caldwell… Kazuhiko Saitama and Tanja Devereaux all joining me inside the pyramid structure… with a further two to qualify.
The Unbreakable One paces the ring a little.
Stacy Jones: But--
Suddenly the NFW Champion is cut off by the booming voice of Ehan Cement, the Talented One.
Ehan Cement, the Talented One: Enough of this incessant drivel…
Cement then walks out onto the stage with a microphone in hand and his gaze solely fixated on the woman standing in the ring.
Ehan Cement, the Talented One: We meet again, Stacy Jones…
He pauses for effect and the fans boo him.
Ehan Cement, the Talented One: A lot has changed since we last met. You… of course… were undeservedly handed an opportunity for the NFW Championship… which you capitalized on and we are now unfortunately in the middle of this… “Unbreakable Era”...
Cement bends the index and middle finger on his free hand to put some emphasis on the words Unbreakable Era.
Ehan Cement, the Talented One: But of course, some things have remained the same… such as I, Ehan Cement, being the most talented member of the NFW roster… and that I have once again been looked over!
Jones tilts her head to the side as she listens to the diatribe she’s been forced to listen to.
Ehan Cement, the Talented One: But I have also learned from our last meeting… because the last time you and I shared a ring together… you embarrassed me! So this time I brought along a friend… and since you wish to compete so badly? We challenge you to a two on one handicap match… right now!
The fans cheer at the possibility of seeing Jones in action when they weren’t expecting it and the NFW Champion recognizes this as she looks around at the fans. She eventually shrugs her shoulders and places her championship down in the corner and removes her custom black leather “Unbreakable” jacket before turning her attention back to Cement.
Stacy Jones: Well then bring out your friend and we can get ourselves a referee and let’s do this!
Cement grins wickedly as a referee begins to jog their way down the ramp and slides into the ring.
Ehan Cement, the Talented One: You are too prideful for your own good, Stacy Jones… so allow me to introduce to you my friend… Mr. Shakedown!
The large six foot eight, two hundred and eighty two pound frame of Mr. Shakedown slowly walks out onto the stage and stops beside Cement before the two begin to make their way down the ramp.
Seth Ernst: Ehan does realize that like him, Mr. Shakedown has never won a single match during his time here in NFW, right?
Miranda Augustino: Considering he thinks he’s the most talented member of our roster? I doubt it.
Lucas Knox: Well, place your bets… how long does this match last?
The two reach the ring and Cement makes his way up the steel steps while Shakedown pulls himself up onto the apron with the aid of the ropes and the two climb into the ring. Once the official is happy that all three competitors are ready to go, he calls for the bell and the match is underway.
==========================================================
Impromptu Match/Handicap Match
Stacy Jones vs. Ehan Cement “The Talented One” and Mr. Shakedown
~DING DING DING~
Seth Ernst: Start your stopwatches!
Cement instructs Shakedown to go after Jones and he begins lumbering towards her while the champion backs up against the ropes. As soon as Shakedown is practically on top of Jones, she drops down and pulls the top rope down with her sending Shakedown over the top rope to the outside.
Miranda Augustino: There goes Mr. Shakedown.
With Jones near the corner and looking down at the big man on the outside, Cement tries to take advantage of this and charges at her from behind, however the NFW Champion has this scouted and delivers an elbow to the side of Cement’s head staggering him and then proceeds to springboard off the second ropes and nails him with Unbowed.
Lucas Knox: Such a beautifully executed move from the champion there.
Mr. Shakedown has now managed to climb back up onto the ring apron, however that doesn’t last long as Jones proceeds to knock him back off the apron with a Bat-Hammer and then looking down at a fallen Cement, she begins to climb the turnbuckle.
Seth Ernst: Stacy Jones getting ready to fly here!
Miranda Augustino: We know what that means!
Once The Talented One gets back to his feet, The Unbreakable One jumps off and nails him with a Remember Who You Are, dropping Cement like a ton of bricks.
Lucas Knox: Remember Who You Are connects!
Jones then makes the cover as the referee gets down on their knees and counts the three before calling for the bell, ending the match.
~DING DING DING~
Madoka Kawada: Here is your winner! The New Frontier Wrestling Champion! Stacy… Jones!
“Unbreakable” blasts out of the PA system as the official hands Jones her championship and then raises her arm in victory. The Unbreakable One mouths to the camera that she’s ready for whatever is awaiting her inside the Guardians of the Pyramid match before she exits the ring and heads up the ramp as we cut elsewhere.
Winner: Stacy Jones
Result: Pinfal (RWYA)

Closed-fisted punches rattled Lluvia's jaw, and a brutal headbutt sent her crashing to the canvas. El Toro relished in his power, basking in the chorus of boos that echoed throughout the arena.
As Lluvia fought to regain her footing, she tapped into her vast arsenal of moves. She executed a picture-perfect DDT, driving El Toro's skull into the unforgiving canvas. The impact reverberated through the ring, momentarily stunning the mighty beast. Lluvia capitalized on the opportunity, launching herself off the ropes with a sensational suicide dive that sent both competitors crashing into the ringside barricade. The crowd erupted in raucous cheers, captivated by the high-risk, high-reward style of Lluvia Salvatore.
Undeterred, El Toro powered through the pain, unleashing a barrage of powerhouse moves. He hoisted Lluvia onto his shoulders and delivered a bone-rattling powerbomb that shook the very foundation of the ring. The impact left Lluvia gasping for air, her body wracked with pain. El Toro grinned sadistically, relishing in his dominance.
But Lluvia refused to stay down. Summoning her fighting spirit, she rallied back, hitting El Toro with a flurry of strikes and high-impact moves. She locked in her signature move, the "Torch of Blame," a debilitating triangle choke that threatened to cut off El Toro's oxygen supply. The monstrous brute fought desperately, using his raw strength to power out of the hold, leaving Lluvia in awe of his resilience.
As the match escalated, both competitors incorporated weapons into their battle. Steel chairs clashed against flesh, kendo sticks echoed with each agonizing strike, and ladders became treacherous launching pads for high-flying assaults. The crowd was treated to a symphony of violence, as the competitors' bodies absorbed the punishment in their quest for victory.
The match spilled out of the ring and into the unforgiving terrain of the crowd. Among the sea of enthusiastic fans, Lluvia found herself perched atop the second level of the audience seats. With unwavering determination, she leaped into the void, executing her breathtaking Swanton Bomb, "Truth and Grief," crashing down onto El Toro below. The impact shattered the table underneath him, eliciting a thunderous chant of "HOLY SHIT!" from the mesmerized crowd.
With both competitors battered and bruised, they fought their way back to the ring, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Each move became an act of defiance, a testament to their unyielding wills. Lluvia, her body aching but fueled by sheer determination, launched herself off the top rope, executing her awe-inspiring finisher, the "Angelic Rebellion" Chick Kick. The devastating strike connected with El Toro's skull, momentarily stunning the behemoth.
But just as victory seemed within Lluvia's grasp, El Toro unleashed his final, devastating gambit. With the tenacity of a raging bull, he locked in his finishing move, the "Labyrinth's End" Guillotine Choke. The air was thick with tension as El Toro's vice-like grip tightened around Lluvia's neck. The referee checked on Lluvia, desperately searching for any sign of consciousness. But her valiant spirit had been extinguished, and the referee had no choice but to call for the bell.

The crowd offered a mixture of applause and admiration, acknowledging the incredible effort displayed by both competitors. As medical personnel tended to Lluvia Salvatore, the audience showered her with a standing ovation, recognizing her indomitable spirit and unrelenting courage.
Seth Ernst: Good lord, how does Collision survive with a monster like this rampaging around Tuesday nights like this?

Miranda Augustino: Look what he did to Ayu Megumi last time and now this?!
Seth Ernst: We may very well be looking at the inaugural Event Horizon Champion, right here.

The flickering light casts eerie shadows across her face, accentuating her sinister smile.Alexandra Calaway: Myriad, you stand there with your arrogance, thinking that my wrath is something you need not fear. But make no mistake, I am no damsel in distress waiting for a hero to save me. No, I am the nightmare that haunts your every waking moment—the vengeful specter that will make you regret underestimating my power!
The crowd's anticipation grows, drawn into the aura of malevolence emanating from Alexandra's every word.
Alexandra Calaway: You saw fit to attack me, to unleash a swarm of bees upon my unsuspecting form. Oh, how you reveled in the sight of my pain, my struggle for breath. You hoped to silence me, to extinguish the fire burning within my wicked soul. But know this, Myriad—I have risen from that torment, more determined than ever to make you pay for your audacity!
The audience's reaction intensifies, some booing in disapproval while others revel in the villainous nature of the unfolding drama.
Alexandra Calaway: You claimed that you would not waste your time on me again, that I am not worthy of your attention. How naïve you are, Myriad! You underestimate the depths of my malevolence, the ferocity with which I shall rain down upon you. I relish in the opportunity to make you regret those words, to show you the true extent of my wrath!
The crowd's reactions become mixed, as they grapple with the tension between Alexandra's malevolence and Myriad's dismissiveness.
Alexandra Calaway: New Frontier Wrestling, bear witness to the twisted dance that unfolds before you—the predator ready to pounce, and the unsuspecting prey unaware of the darkness that lurks within my heart. Myriad, you may believe yourself invincible, untouchable, but I shall shatter that illusion. I shall drag you down into the depths of despair, where your cries for mercy will fall upon deaf ears!
Camera zooms in on Alexandra's face, her eyes glinting with a sadistic delight.
Alexandra Calaway: New Frontier Wrestling, I relish in the chaos, the pain, the destruction. And in our next encounter, Myriad, I shall unleash upon you a world of suffering that you cannot even fathom, for I have tasted the darkness within you and returned something, new someone, new. You will never see me tremble in fear again. As next time I will tear away every ounce of your confidence, reducing you to nothing more than a pitiful shell of your former self! Continue to ignore me and I will be the SHADOW everywhere you shall go following this moment.
The crowd's reaction becomes more divided, as they teeter on the edge of both repulsion and fascination towards Alexandra's wickedness.
Alexandra Calaway: Myriad, you foolishly thought that you had extinguished my flame. But in reality, you have only stoked the fires of vengeance that burn within me. With every breath I take, I draw closer to our reckoning, the moment when I shall revel in the sight of your broken body at my feet!
The audience's anticipation rises, captivated by the impending clash between the malevolent Alexandra and the dismissive Myriad.
Alexandra Calaway: New Frontier Wrestling, heed my words and mark my prophecy. Myriad, your time will come. You will taste the bitterness of defeat, the agony of knowing that you brought this upon yourself. And when that moment arrives, it will be I, Alexandra, the embodiment of darkness, who stands victorious, basking in the glory of your downfall!
Camera fades out as Alexandra revels in the anticipation of her impending vengeance, while the crowd eagerly awaits the clash of these two forces should they meet again in the ring, captivated by the collision of villainous intentions and arrogant dismissiveness.

Main Event/United States Championship Qualifier
Nakita Niles vs. Vanessa Page
The anticipation was palpable as the Main Event of the evening approached. The crowd erupted into cheers as Nakita Niles, the babyface Marine, made her way to the ring, donning her military-inspired attire. She exuded confidence and determination, ready to prove her mettle in the squared circle.
On the other hand, the boos resonated through the arena as the arrogant and spoiled Vanessa Page strutted to the ring, reveling in the jeers of the crowd. Her wealth and haughty attitude were on full display, as she believed her technical prowess and high-flying abilities made her untouchable.
~DING DING DING~
As the bell rang, Nakita and Vanessa circled each other, a clash of styles about to unfold. Nakita, a powerhouse with speed and agility, showcased her versatility by swiftly countering Vanessa's initial attempts to grapple. With her Marine training, Nakita's ability to counter moves was second nature, frustrating her opponent.
Vanessa, realizing she couldn't rely solely on technical wrestling, resorted to her high-flying arsenal. She launched herself off the ropes with a picture-perfect hurricanrana, taking Nakita by surprise. The crowd gasped at the acrobatic display, impressed by Vanessa's agility. But Nakita was resilient, quickly recovering and mounting a comeback.
Utilizing her strength, Nakita executed a series of impactful slams and suplexes, showcasing her powerhouse style. The crowd rallied behind her, impressed by her display of raw power. She transitioned seamlessly from one move to another, keeping Vanessa on the defensive.
However, Vanessa, ever the resourceful villain, resorted to underhanded tactics whenever the referee's attention was diverted. She capitalized on the distraction to deliver a vicious superkick to Nakita's jaw, momentarily stunning her Marine counterpart. The momentum shifted momentarily in Vanessa's favor as she seized the opportunity to execute her signature move, the brainbuster she called "Mic Drop," leaving Nakita dazed on the mat.
But Nakita's determination and Marine resilience kicked in. She fought through the pain, refusing to let Vanessa's antics deter her. As Vanessa attempted to deliver her twisted bliss finisher, the "Fire & Desire," from the top rope, Nakita summoned her remaining strength and dodged the maneuver.
With the crowd on their feet, Nakita seized the moment and hoisted Vanessa up, showcasing her power with a thunderous uranage. “SEMPER FI!!!” The impact reverberated through the ring, leaving Vanessa crumpled on the canvas. The crowd erupted in cheers as Nakita collapsed forward, laying across Vanessa's motionless body, and hooked the leg. The referee's hand slapped the mat for the three-count.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
