NFW Trauma #118 - 08/05/2023!

KJ Lindsay vs. Ehan Cement "The Talented One"

The match begins as most Ehan Cement matches start, with him gloating and shouting out to the crowd that “TONIGHT WILL BE MY NIGHT! I WILL MAKE MY OPPONENT SUFFER AT THE HANDS OF EHAN CEMENT THE TALENTED ONE!”

And just as he finished that thought, he turned right into a stiff right hand by KJ Lindsay! Ehan is flat on his back here, but KJ isn’t playing games. Looking at his mate standing ringside who yells at him to “Hit ‘em with everything you got!”... So KJ picks Ehan up and onto his shoulders, nailing him with the G.D.N.! Ehan grabs at his nose and we can see that KJ potentially broke Ehan’s nose off of the GTS!

While Ehan is focused on his nose, KJ is quick to grab both of his wrists, taking a half step back before DRIVING his knee into Ehan’s face with the Cruise Control (Kamigoye)! Ehand falls back and KJ lands on top of him, hooking both legs as the referee counts to three, and “The Profit” picks up a win in his debut match for NFW!


Madoka Kawada: Here is your winner, K…J…LINDSAY!!!

Seth Ernst: Wow!!! What an impressive showing that was!

Miranda Augustino: Anytime I get to watch a blowhard like Ehan Cement get his shit rocked is a good one.

Lucas Knox: That maneuver at the end was brutal!

=Event Horizon Championship=

Hana Yoshida vs. Myriad ©

The Event Horizon Championship match is underway as Hana Yoshida challenges reigning champion, Myriad. As soon as the bell rings, Yoshida’s out of the ring and going for weapons to try and even the battlefield for her given the size difference between herself and the champion. Myriad stands there in the center of the ring, watching chairs, kendo sticks, all sorts of shit be tossed into the ring. He goes for none of it. Once the inside of the ring looks like a tornado hit a hardware store, Yoshida slides back into the ring with a kendo stick in hand and sizes up Myriad. The champion smiles under his bloodied bandages and goes to his knees. He opens his arms out, invitingly, daring Yoshida to hit him. She’s hesitant at first, as she didn’t expect this but she hauls off and cracks him over the top of the head with the kendo stick. Myriad falls forward but catches himself on his hands. His shoulders shake with laughter as he pushes himself up and invites her to hit him again. Yoshida rears back and hits him a second time. Myriad tips forward, catching himself again and this time, we already see blood specks dripping onto the mat. Once more, Myriad pushes himself up onto his knees and through his bandages, his lips read–

Myriad: This next one better kill me.

Yoshida cocks that kendo stick back and swings it like a baseball bat right into Myriad’s face, splintering it around his head! He falls back this time, legs kicking out from under him like Michael Myers in Halloween 2 as he lies there, unmoving. Yoshida smiles sadistically and goes for the cover.


Yoshida goes FLYING OFF as Myriad yeets her off of him, onto the mat and sits right up, licking the fresh blood that's dripped down his face, around his mouth.

Lucas Knox: Guys, I thought we had a new champion, right there!!

Miranda Augustino: That woulda been something, huh?!

Seth Ernst: This man took three shots with a kendo stick and he sat right up. What the hell is he made out of?

Myriad rises and Yoshida pops back up, grabbing a steel chair. She climbs up onto the middle turnbuckle and waits for him to turn around. When he does, she raises it and leaps off but Myriad catches her by the throat, causing the chair to slip from her grip and fall to the mat. Myriad lifts her up and delivers a chokeslam right down onto the chair with a thunderous crash. Kyoto gasps emphatically as Yoshida lies on the mat and Myriad kneels down, placing a hand on her for the cover.


Yoshida gets a shoulder up! Myriad looks down at her and cocks his head to the side, impressed. He digs through the mess of junk that’s been tossed into the ring and finds a box cutter, chuckling at it. He thumbs the switch, pushing the blade out and starts waiting for Yoshida to rise when all of a sudden…


Myriad lifts his head and looks over his shoulder at the stage as Kyoto pops for the music of Austin Ramsey. He tosses the box cutter aside and picks up a steel chair, turning towards the stage as the lights around it flicker in Ramsey’s colors.

Seth Ernst: I gotta admit, I half expected he’d show up tonight! Austin Ramsey has had it out for Myriad ever since their brutal tournament match and Myriad woke something up within him!

Miranda Augustino: He’s not on the Trauma roster, Seth! He doesn’t need to be here!

Lucas Knox: You don’t need to be on any specific roster to challenge for the title, Mir! That’s the chaotic beauty of the Event Horizon title!

Miranda Augustino: Well, where is he then? C’mon, Austin. Show yourself!

Seth Ernst: Hey, wait a minute!!! Wait a minute!! Right out in front of us!!

Jumping over the barricade on the commentary side, Austin Ramsey appears in his ring gear, and climbs up onto the apron, scaling to the top turnbuckle behind Myriad! The referee sees him and asks what the hell he’s doing. Ramsey motions to the ring announcer, hastily. The referee asks if he’s sure, Ramsey confirms and the referee calls it out to Madoka Kawada.

Madoka Kawada: Ladies and gentlemen, Austin Ramsey is entering the Event Horizon! This match is now a triple threat match!

Myriad hears this announcement as the music stops and starts to turn around in confusion. All too late, he sees Ramsey on the turnbuckle as Ramsey launches himself off with a Missile Dropkick. Myriad tries to bring up the chair but it gets kicked into his face and he goes down! Ramsey pops back to his feet and lays the chair over Myriad, climbing up to the top turnbuckle again. He wastes no time and hits “Air Austin” (Shooting Star Press)!! Ramsey clutches his midsection, feeling that one about as much as Myriad did and he hooks the leg for a cover.

Seth Ernst: Ramsey’s got the leg!!! We’re gonna have a new champion!!


Ramsey slaps the mat and looks up at her. Yoshida protests his involvement in the match as Ramsey stands up and gets in her face. He tells her to chill out, that this is personal between him and the champion. He starts to turn back to Myriad but Yoshida spins him around and nails him with a right hand. Ramsey fires back and the two start trading blows, getting a rise out of the crowd. As they’re doing this, Myriad sits up again, FUMING!!! He gets to his feet as Ramsey goes for a Discus Lariat on Yoshida but she ducks underneath it. Both of them see Myriad back on his feet and in the midst of her counter, Yoshida runs past Myriad, hits the ropes and comes off for a Springboard Cross Body but Myriad catches her in his arms and hoists her up onto his shoulder. As he’s doing this, Ramsey turns around and picks up a steel trash can lid. Myriad sees what he’s doing and improvises, literally Lawn Darting Yoshida right towards Ramsey as he spins around with the trash can lid, swinging for the fences. Yoshida’s sent flying full velocity from Myriad right into a baseball bat like swing to the face from the trash can lid. Ramsey pauses, clearly not having intended to target her but when he looks up, there’s a steel chair flying at his face, being thrown from Myriad. Ramsey falls back into the ropes and Myriad runs in, clotheslining him over the top rope and to the floor. He turns around and picks up a bloody faced Hana Yoshida, lifting her into a vertical suplex position but instead, he drops her, catches her and sits out to deliver “Fall From Grace” (Steiner Screwdriver)!!


Madoka Kawada: Here is your winner and STILL the NFW Event Horizon Champion…MYRIAD!!

Myriad gazes down at Yoshida as the referee brings him the championship belt which he snatches from the official and hangs it over his shoulder. Myriad turns around to find Austin Ramsey getting back to his feet outside the ring. Snarling, he exits the ring and posts up behind Ramsey as he makes it back up and turns around. Myriad rushes in and nails him over the head with the Event Horizon Championship.

Seth Ernst: Oh c’mon!!! Myriad just attacked Austin Ramsey with the championship!

Miranda Augustino: We can see that, Seth!

Lucas Knox: He’s not done. What’s he doing?

Myriad tosses the championship onto their announce table and grabs Ramsey, picking him up from the floor. He sets him up and lifts him for a Powerbomb, running forward and launches him onto the Japanese Commentary table, causing it to collapse under the impact of Ramsey’s body. Myriad grabs the championship and snatches Madoka Kawada’s mic from her, causing a yelp from the poor woman. He turns back to look where Ramsey is lying and lifts the microphone up.

Myriad: Ramsey…if you want any hope of survival in my world… You need to learn…to give in…

Myriad throws the microphone down as his music hits again and he takes his leave from ringside as the shot fades.

Queen Bianca Davis vs. Zara Ivory

Zara runs at Bianca and leaps into an attempt at Your Own Hell. Bianca moves out of the way and Zara flies by her. Bianca rolls her up from behind.


Zara gets up and swings for a big clothesline. Bianca ducks it and catches her for an atomic drop Zara comes down hard and Bianca gets her for an O’Connor roll.


Bianca is propelled into the ropes. As she rebounds back off of them, Zara catches her for In A Daze. Bianc hits hard and Zara goes to the ropes for One In A Million.


Banca tries to get another O’Connor roll but Zara holds onto the ropes to shrug her off this time. Bianca backs off towards the opposite ropes. Tasha Jackson gets the referee’s attention by screaming at him about doing his job. Zara rushes in at Bianca but Bianca sidestep and Zara ends up on the middle rope. Simple Simon moves in to spray her only for the Deathriders, Kaya and Lilith Parker ro run off and intimidate Simon into backing off. Vanesa and Danielle Page run out and start fighting with the Deathriders. Zara and Bianca move in on each other and Zara throws Bianca off of an attempt at a DDT. Bianca lands on ropes. Simon, unaware that it’s not Zara, sees the ropes move again and sprays for all he’s worth. Bianca clutches at her eyes and falls back away from the ropes into Obliteration from Zara.


Madoka Kawada: Here is your winner…Zara…Ivory!!

Seth Ernst: A little miscommunication between Bianca Davis and Simon brought forth a little karma for the Queen Bee!

Lucas Knox: Ohhhhh that man’s gonna be in trouble!

Miranda Augustino: You simply love to see it!

As Zara Ivory and the Deathriders make their way back up to the stage, celebrating her victory, Simple SImon tries frantically to apologize to Bianca Davis who absolutely loses it, shrieking and slapping at the man to get away from her for now. Tasha Jackson shoves him towards the ropes, urging him to go get a bottle of water to flush the Queen’s eyes out as we cut.

=Genesis Championship=

Moe Renhuan vs. Mark Storm

Storm and Renhuan start with a traditional collar and elbow tie-up as Otto nova and Adriana Salvatore watch on from the stage. Storm starts to overpower Renhuan and she tries to jump up into a big DDT. Stom catches her and reverses into a bridging northern lights suplex.


Renhuan starts kicking up and Storm flood away from her. Renhuan gets to her feet and hits Tastes Like Timbaland Boot. Storm goes down hard and Renhuan covers him.


Renhuan starts hammering away with her knees and goes for a cradle. Storm throws her off and comes back with One For All! He covers.

Renhuan runs to the ropes and goes for the Tailed Beast Bomb. Storm moves out of the way and Renhuan crashes to the mat. Storm gets her up and hits Heroes End.


Madoka Kawada: Here is your winner and STILL the NFW Genesis Champion…MARK…STORM!

Seth Ernst: Hell of a defense again by Mark Storm!

Miranda Augustino: Hell of a challenge by Moe Renhuan too!

Lucas Knox: It looks like the champ had some very close observation this evening as well!

As Mark Storm’s music plays and he takes his title from the referee, he turns to finally pay full attention to Otto Nova and Adrianna Salvatore up on the stage. As this happens, Nova steps forward with a smirk and gives Storm a nod with his chin as Salvatore grins behind him, slapping him on the shoulder. Nova spreads his arms, still smirking at the champion. Storm points to the belt, “you want this? You want me?” and raises it over his head, making a “come get it” motion to the young up and comer. Nova lowers his arms and joins in the applause of the Japanese audience before motioning to Storm, “I’ll see you soon.” He turns to leave and Salvatore gives him a supportive slap on the back before grinning wickedly at Storm as she throws an arm around her teammate’s shoulders and they walk through the tunnel.

Triniti Nirt vs. Arley Kirk

Triniti tries to run at Arley but Arley waves her by with an olé wave. Triniti rushes to the ropes and rebounds back. Arley catches her for an armdrag that sends Triniti all the way across the ring, sliding out to the floor. Arley comes running over and dives through the ropes. Triniti jumps up and kicks her as comes by, stopping Arley half way through the ropes. Triniti hops up onto the apron and hits a running leg drop across the head and neck of Arley as she lies across the second rope. Arley falls back into the ring and Triniti gets a slingshot senton for a cover.


Both get to their feet and Arley runs to the ropes for Kirk The Bucket. Arley covers.


Arley runs to the ropes and springboards into a moonsault. Triniti rolls away and Arley crashes to the mat. Triniti comes into a Standing Corkscrew Moonsault.


Arley kips up to her feet, sweeps Triniti’s feet out from under her to knock her on her butt and nails her with a low Superkick to the jaw. Arley hits the ropes and goes into the Juice Box Serenade. She covers.


While the referee is checking on Triniti Nirt after that bump, Arley Kirk steps back to give them space. She ends up backing against the ropes by the entryway where Cherry Blackman comes out of nowhere from down the ramp and blasts Kirk in the back of the head with a stiff forearm shot. Kirk stumbles forward as Blackman drops down and ducks behind the apron as Triniti Nirt gets back to her feet. She sees Kirk stumbling but has no idea what happened. She merely sees an opening and runs in with a Cazador Rollup for a cover!!


Seth Ernst: C’mon!!! You gotta be kidding me!! Not like that!!

Madoka Kawada: Here is your winner…TRINITI…NIRT!!

Lucas Knox: This match could have gone either way still but Cherry Blackman seemed bent on costing Arley Kirk her first main event win since her return!!

Miranda Augustino: Poor Triniti has no idea, either!! She was robbed just as much! She doesn’t wanna win like that!

As Triniti celebrates her victory, Arley looks up, holding the back of her head and finally notices Cherry backing up the ramp with a smile on her face. Arley glares and shakes her head in disgust. Triniti finally notices Cherry as well and her smile slowly turns to a look of confusion, bordering on disappointment. What just happened?

Seth Ernst: I don’t think this is over in the long run but that’s all the time we have for tonight! We’ll see you next week, ladies and gentlemen!
