Slash's "World On Fire" is still playing as the show opens, Ashley Kenyon marching across the ring to the far corner near the timekeeper’s desk and requesting a microphone. Ashley Kenyon: Cut my fucking music!
The music ceases and Ashley turns to glare angrily at the entryway.
Ashley Kenyon: Alright, you can come out here with no worry about a fuckin’ thing, I talked to LeeAnn to make sure that rule bullshit wouldn’t get in the way, so cut this, “You weren’t there,” bullshit, quit hiding in the shadows and get your ass out here, Shanna. If you wanna scream at me or fight, I have never been hard to find and I’m not gonna start bein’ that way now!
As Ashley glares, a familiar voice with a very sarcastic, almost amused tone to it, shoots out of the void.
Voice: Ashley, Ashley, Ashley…
Shanna “Raseri” Mitchell comes walking through the curtain holding a microphone of her own, her entire body’s countenance giving off a mocking attitude.
Shanna Mitchell: Using my government name…
She shakes her head even as she continues, looking like she both wants to laugh and just wave everything off as if it doesn’t matter at all.
Shanna Mitchell: Oh,you big mad, huh?
Ashley just stares back at her, clearly unamused.
Ashley Kenyon: Not my fault you changed your name like you’re a Vegas slot machine that blew a fuse and went on a payout bender.
Shanna Mitchell: You mean like how your girlfriend changes personalities every other day?
She gets an inquisitive look on her face and side-eyes Ashley.
Shanna Mitchell: Or can't decide who she wants to fuck this week? You or Titan?
She see-saws her hands back and forth in mock indecision.
Ashley Kenyon: You gonna keep playin’ like a kid or you gonna get to the point?
It was at that moment that Raseri came to the surface and everything about the young woman changed.
Raseri: Tell me something, Ash... How's it feel knowing that your lack of action got yet ANOTHER of your friends killed?
Ashley just looks at her and nods slowly.
Ashley Kenyon: So we are going to come back to that…
She pauses.
Ashley Kenyon: You know, if there is anyone on this fuckin’ planet that can understand your grief and rage, it’s me. I was sixteen when my mother died and I admit, I blamed a lot of people for it because I thought something, anything, could have been done to save her and nothing was. I didn’t get over it for years and even picked fights with people who had nothing to do with it over it and I also can understand your feelings about him, because I’m the one who damn near beat him to death on live TV, but I was wrong and so are you…
Again, she pauses, staring at the woman before her.
Ashley Kenyon: But I also know if you’re bound and determined to blame me then there ain’t a damn thing I can say to change your mind so what are we talkin’ about…, Raseri?
Raseri snarls darkly.
Raseri: You're not the only one to blame, Ashley. You're just the next name on my list. Dane felt the fires of my rage...
She tilts her head slightly as her smile darkens.
Raseri: ...and got burned in the process.
Ashley Kenyon: I said you were bound and determined to blame me, never said I was the only one. I know I disappointed my Mama with what I did and now you’re disappointing yours the same way.
Raseri nods, the glare in her eyes not changing at all.
Raseri: Yeah, that’s because I lack the one thing she had that I don’t.
Ashley Kenyon: Yeah? What’s that?
Raseri: Mercy.
Raseri belts Ashley in the mouth, catching the former world champion off-guard. Raseri tries to move in for more but Ashley manages to get her hands up. Security rushes in to drag the two women away from each other before the fight can really get going, the crowd booing and calling for them to be let go as Raseri and Ashley both struggle against six guys each, both looking to take the other apart.

Match #1/Singles
William Ryder vs. Jimmy Bones
~ DING! DING! DING! ~
The bell rings and Jimmy Bones is instantly out of the corner, bouncing on the balls of his feet and waving at Ryder to bring it on. The Maverick merely smirks as he stays leaning back in the corner for a long few moments before he finally pushes up, sneering and running a thumb across his nose and then waving at Jimmy to come at him. Bones charges forward, and Ryder ducks to the side at the last moment, seizing him by the back of the head, and sending him crashing first into the turnbuckles! Bones bounces off and stumbles back, and gets greeted by Ryder hooking his arm around Bones, and then flipping him up and dropping him down on his head with an Omega Driver. Bones lands right on his head, staying slumped for a moment before Ryder shoves him away and climbs to his feet, dating off his hands with that same small smile.
Bones makes some movement now, pushing at the mat to try and climb to his feet, and Ryder turns and spots the smaller man trying to get up. Ryder merely grins and crouches down, sizing up Bones as Jimmy pushes up on wobbly feet, still doubled over, and Ryder charges in and leaps, connecting with a rising knee right to his temple, and knocking Bones right back down. Ryder slowly rolls Bones onto his back and casually drapes an arm over his chest as the referee hits the mat.
ON–NO!
Bones kicks out and The Maverick looks down at him, with a puzzled grin. Shaking his head, Ryder climbs back to his feet, pulling Bones up with him and hooking an arm around Jimmy’s neck. He starts to try and lift Bones for a suplex, but Bones blocks it. Ryder leans up and slams a forearm down on Bones back before trying to lift him again, but mid-lift, Bones squirms and drops behind Ryder, driving him to the mat with a sitout rear mat slam. Bones reaches over to grab one of Ryder’s legs, bouncing his head excitedly as the referee hits the mat.
ONE T–NO!
Ryder kicks out, and Bones rolls back to land on his feet, watching as Ryder scrambles up and then charges him and takes him down with a spinning heel kick! Bones is picking up the momentum and speed now, and as Ryder bounces back up he gets drilled with a dropkick, sending him back down! Bones is up and pumping his fist, before he sees Ryder starting to push up again. Jimmy sizes up the landing zone and then charges at the ropes, leaping up to springboard off the middle rope and flipping back with a moonsault…..and in mid-flip Ryder superkicks him square in the face with his RYDE OF YOUR LIFE! Bones just crumples down on impact, the crowd gasping at the impact of the move, and The Maverick wastes no time in turning Bones onto his back and making the lateral cover.
ONE!

As the match ends, Ryder climbs to his feet smiling, jumping upto the middle rope and throwing his hands up triumphantly. After posing for a moment he turns back to see Jimmy Bones is getting to his feet and heads over towards him. Bones takes a half-stumble back, but is surprised as Ryder slaps him on the back and nods his head at him in respect before leaving the ring. As Ryder reaches the entryway, he’s greeted by a surprise as the NFW Genesis Champion, Travis Levitt steps out from the back, still dressed in his jeans and shirt. The two men share a look before Travis grins and brings him in for a fist-bump and a one-armed hug, and then takes Ryder’s arm and raises it, pointing at The Maverick, grateful to welcome his friend to the New Frontier.

Vanessa Page and “Diamond Princess” Danielle Page are backstage at the Vlad Blackheart Colosseum. Something catches Danielle’s eye who then taps Vanessa on the elbow and nods her head in the direction that caught her eye. Vanessa smiles as The Socialites walk in that direction. They finally get to Utami Takahashi as each Page sister gets on each side of Utami."Diamond Princess" Danielle Page: Well, well, well Vanessa, look who it is.
Vanessa Page: If it isn’t Utami. Hey girl!!!
Each Page sister smiles at Utami in an insincere way.
Utami Takahashi: (nodding) Vanessa, Danielle. What brings the Socialites to my corner of the backstage?
Vanessa Page: Danielle and I are just here to issue a warning.
Utami Takahashi: (raising an eyebrow) A warning? I'm intrigued. Please, enlighten me.
"Diamond Princess" Danielle Page: Gladly! Now this is simple enough that even you can understand it…hopefully. Stay away from Rylie.
Utami Takahashi: (nodding) I appreciate your concern, but I make my own choices. Rylie and I have a history, and whether it's alliance or rivalry, it's a dance we're both familiar with.
Vanessa Page: …Ok! Don’t say we didn’t warn you because we all know you aren’t on her level.
Utami Takahashi: It doesn’t matter if I’m on her level or not because that doesn’t matter. All that matter is that she respects me.
The Socialites devilishly smile as they look at each other before walking away.
==========================================================
The scene cuts backstage to the locker room of the NFW Genesis Champion, Travis Levitt. The Dragon is finishing up his wrist tape, his gold title gleaming on the bench beside him, when there’s a sudden sound of the door banging open. Travis barely reacts, instead finishing doing up his tape and watching it carefully as a shadow approaches him, and he finally looks up with a sigh.Travis Levitt: Darcy. You have a long week too?
Walking into the room is his challenger from last week, Darcy Graves. Travis watches her for a moment with a gentle smile on his lips. Darcy looks at him, then she sits down next to him.
Darcy Graves: A long week? You know how long I waited for that, then to have a spoiled rich cunt and her lackey come down and ruin it for me? Yeah I've been hitting the gym harder, focus on that beast that follows the rich bitch around. On top of that I couldn't find my favorite pair of pants. So yeah, a long week is an understatement. How about you?
Travis Levitt: Well, I’ve been to a wedding, vented on another show, and then spent a lot of the past few days arguing with some lawyers. So, you know, its had its ups and downs. And on top of all of that….
Travis slowly reaches over, picking up his title belt and looking at it and then back to Darcy with a long look.
Travis Levitt: Trying to prepare for a tough title match tonight. You like my chances?
Darcy glances at the title and then up to Travis, before her eyes turn darker.
Darcy Graves: You’ll do fine tonight. Ya know how I know? Because I’m coming out there with ya.
Travis Levitt: Darcy, I appreciate the offer but….
Darcy instantly holds up a hand, reaching over to grab the title belt out of his hand and then draping it over his shoulder and patting it softly.
Darcy Graves: You don’t need to thank me. I’m making sure that belt stays on your shoulder until I get another chance at it. You’re welcome. I’ll see you out there.
Darcy pushes upto her feet and goes to step away, Travis with a puzzled look behind her before he pushes up behind her and clicks his fingers.
Travis Levitt: Oh! Darcy! Before you go!
Travis turns around for a moment, as Darcy turns back to face him. Travis turns back around with a simple green rose and hands it to her. Leaning in to plant a stunned Darcy with a kiss on her cheek as he hands her the rose.
Travis Levitt: Happy late Valentine's Day. Now we can go.
And with that, the NFW Genesis Champion steps away past the still a little stunned Darcy, heading out of the room. Darcy glances down at the rose then up at his retreating back and a small smirk crosses her lips before she follows him out and the scene cuts out.

Match #2/Singles
Genesis Championship
Jericho Kerry vs. Travis Levitt ©
~ DING! DING! DING! ~
The bell rings and in the ring both men continue staring at each other. After a few moments the champion turns to stretch using the ropes, and looking out at ringside where Darcy Graves stands, eyes flickering between Jericho and the entrance ramp. Jericho looks past Travis, pointing at Darcy and barking out some questions, but Travis merely shakes his head, waving a finger between the two of them to make it clear. This is one-on-one. FInally the two men meet in the center of the ring for a test of strength, each man grunting, leaning slightly forward only to be forced back. Jericho starts to get the advantage, bending Travis backwards and The Dragon squirms against the might of Jericho, but he’s fighting an inevitable. After struggling against it for a long exhausting moment, Travis changes his tactics, flopping onto his back and quickly throwing his feet up into Jericho’s gut, flipping him right overhead and sending the larger man crashing to the mat.
Travis takes a moment but then kops up and backs up to the corner, crouching slightly and staring right back at Jericho! Levitt waves him up, setting up for his Resurrection Kick as Kerry rises. Jericho reaches his feet and Travis charges, only for Jericho to suddenly drop and roll from the ring! Kerry steps away quickly, slowly circling the ring to catch his breath while Levitt stares daggers at him. Travis spots his chance, turning to his the opposite ropes and then charging across, leaping out with a suicide drive, but Jericho cold-cocks him with a nasty right hand to the jaw in mid-air, sending Travis crashing into the apron and then slumping and dropping to ringside!
Jericho grins as he looks down at Travis, reaching down to pull up the Genesis Champion and rolling him into the ring, when behind him a feminine voice calls out his name. Turning around, Jericho is suddenly all bashful smiles as Kaydence Valentine has made her way to the ringside barrier. Jericho stares in shock for a moment before smiling as Kaydence can’t help but squeal gleefully while glancing around at the Colosseum in awe. Jericho comes over to check in with her, the two sharing a quiet but happy word before Jericho turns back to head for the ring…..and is greeted by a sailing Dragon crashing down on him with a Suicide Plancha!
The Dragon is the first to his feet again, seizing Jericho by the shoulders and dragging him to the ring. He rolls Jericho in under the bottom rope and then quickly bounces up onto the apron, and pauses. Looking out at Darcy, a cheeky grin crosses the face of the champion as he climbs the turnbuckle from the outside and then turns his back to Jericho! Travis crouches on the top rope, looking down at Darcy, he gives her a little wave and then rises to go for her Grave Digger, but Jericho Kerry cuts him off with a charging forearm blast to the back, sending Travis stumbling and weakening his stance on the top rope. Graves then slips himself under Travis, props The Dragon on his shoulders and takes two steps before sending him crashing to the mat with a huge st-out powerbomb, and transitions into a pin!
ONE!
TW–NO!
TW–NO!
Levitt throws a shoulder up! Jericho pushes himself back to his feet, a nervous glance out to make sure Kaydence is still watching, before he drags Travis back up and whips him into the ropes, connecting with a firm Big Boot to Levitt’s face that leaves the champion laid out again. Momentum seems to be firming on the challenger’s side, and he runs a hand through his hair, before reaching down to drag Travis up again. Kerry hauls Travis up, and then heaves him up on his shoulders, holding The Dragon in place for his AND SEND THE JET (F5). He goes to spin Travis around, but The Dragon manages to land on his feet, and double underhooks Jericho’s arms on the way down, before roaring out with sheer power as he hauls Kerry up and drives him headfirst into the mat with a Renee’s Rise (Double Underhook Brainbuster).
Both men stay down for a long moment, each trying to get their breath back, before they roll over and stare each other in the eyes. Pushing upto a kneeling position, neither man takes their eyes off the other, before Travis unleashes a winded right hand to Jericho’s jaw! Jericho wobbles slightly, but then comes right back with a big right of his own! Travis is sent reeling back, but then fires back with another right, only for Kerry to hit with another of his own! The two men’s strikes quicken as their adrenaline and rage builds, until Travis seizes Jericho by the scruff of his neck and slams three sudden rapid forearms to his jaw, only to see Kerry bounce up, shaking his fists and his head with a roar. Travis pushes himself up again and when Jericho turns towards him, Travis throws a clothesline, only for it to be blocked and Kerry counters with a headbutt that drops Levitt!
The Champion bounces right back up, and he eats a European Uppercut knocking him back down again! Levitt again bounces up, and this time Jericho grabs him by the wrist, pushing Travis back into the corner, and then whipping him across to the opposite turnbuckles. Jericho points at Levitt and roars before charging in and leaping for his Corner Splash, but Travis ducks aside and Jericho crashes into the steel! The impact sees Kerry slumped face first against the corner turnbuckles, and now Travis seizes his chance, hitting the opposite ropes and then bouncing back and flying, crushing Jericho in the corner with the St Georges Splash. The impact is enough to see Jericho stumble backwards a few steps,, and yet again Travis seizes the momentum, charging into the ropes, and when Jericho slowly stumbles around to face where the champion is, he’s greeted by the flying foot to his face called the RESURRECTION KICK! Jericho’s head bounces hrd off the mat, and The Dragon is quick to cover Kerry, hooking both his legs as the referee drops down.

Seth Ernst: We’re headed backstage now, ladies and gentlemen, where General Manager LeeAnn Viskan is standing by with some big announcements involving Rise Of Legends. Without further adieu, let’s turn it over to–As Seth Ernst talks, LeeAnn Viskan is seen waiting patiently in front of the camera for the floor. Before he finishes, however, a smirk forms on her face as she looks beside her and steps aside, giving the floor to…NFW Commissioner Steven Brody himself. The man who hasn’t been seen on an NFW broadcast in some time now, gets a loud ovation from the crowd.
Lucas Knox: Whooooaaaa, it’s the big boss!
Miranda Augustino: Wonder what the news is!
Seth Ernst: Well, let’s hear it! Mr. Brody, the floor is yours sir.
Brody smiles some, placing his fingertips together as he nods.
Steven Brody: Thank you, Seth. It’s great to be in the Colosseum again. As much as I enjoy all of my duties, nothing beats the energy inside the arena on the night of an event. Now, with that said, we have a particularly huge event coming up on February 28th, as you all know. The second annual Rise of Legends, where every championship will be defended. Now, given how rare I get to pop my head in here, Ms. Viskan thought it kind enough to allow me to do the honors, seeing as this event is a collaboration of both rosters. Now, you’re well aware of the majority of the titles that’ll be defended but as things currently stand, that leaves two up to question.
He gives a pause to ensure everyone’s ready to hear the news.
Steven Brody: First and foremost, we have the Event Horizon Championship, which will be contested for under standard Event Horizon division rules. You all know what that means, of course, but to begin the match, the champion, Tanja Devereaux, will defend against none other…than Abigail Lindsay.
Brody pauses as the crowd pops for the news, just knowing the two of those talents in a match for such a title is sure to deliver on the level of violence the division promises. Even LeeAnn Viskan is smiling and relishing the concept.
Steven Brody: Finally, that leaves the matter of the newly announced Alliance Division, in which the defending champions will determine the match type of either standard tag team or trios rules. How will the inaugural champions be crowned, though? Well, that’s simple, as we’ve decided to grant advantage to the current champions with the longest tenure. Therefore, the current Trios Champions, Legacies, will have between now and Rise of Legends II to decide which two of them will step into the ring with the current Tag Team Champions, Thicc Attack, in a standard two on two tag team match. The winners will be crowned the inaugural NFW Alliance Champions. I can assure you, myself, Ms. Viskan and Mrs. Morian are all excited for Rise of Legends II as a whole. We hope everyone here and those watching at home are, as well. Before we turn it back over to the broadcast crew, LeeAnn you had an announcement you wanted to add as well, yes?
LeeAnn Viskan: I did, yes.
LeeAnn smiles an almost devilish smile as she steps in beside the CEO.
LeeAnn Viskan: As a result of what transpired during last week’s New Frontier Wrestling Championship match between champion Damon Cross and challenger Stacy Jones…
She pauses and stares into the camera for dramatic effect.
LeeAnn Viskan: And subsequently, number one contender Bianca Page…I’ve decided to spice things up for Rise of Legends II. The match between Bianca Page and Damon Cross, for the title will also….
Steven Brody: ....
LeeAnn Viskan: ...feature former champion, Stacy Jones…as the Special Guest Referee.
Smirking still, LeeAnn winks at the camera with a click of her tongue, turning things back over to Brody.
Steven Brody: Thank you and enjoy the rest of tonight’s show.
The tron cuts off and back to ringside in preparation for the next match.
Miranda Augustino: Daaaaamn! Legacies has to choose who wrestles Thicc Attack? They better pick smart! Bring them Alliance titles onto Saturday nights baby!!
Lucas Knox: Si, more, Colonel!
Miranda Augustino: ..The fuck did you just say?
Lucas Knox: I, uhh…
Miranda Augustino: Don’t say that again. You’re embarrassing yourself and annoying me.
Lucas Knox: Ahem…sorry.
Seth Ernst: Well, Rise of Legends II is certainly gonna be a stacked card but so is tonight! Let’s get back on with the show, folks!

Match #3/Singles
Kuali'i Tofilau vs. Coda
~DING DING DING~
The bell rings and we’re into the next match as The Seoul Samurai steps from her corner, squaring up to the God of Thunder. Tofilau steps in to meet Coda and the two lock up. Coda looks for a wrist lock but Tofilau overpowers into a Full Nelson. Coda, however, straightens her arms up and drops right from his grasp and rolls back under his legs, using her own to push against his behind the knees and sends Tofilau stumbling into the ropes. Tofilau regains his footing and Coda’s back to a vertical position where she steps in and starts laying into him with kicks to both sides of the body. Tofilau stumbles on his feet with pain shooting through his legs from each shot before Coda runs the ropes. Tofilau looks for a lariat but Coda ducks and hits the ropes on the other side, springing back off for a Springboard Crossbody but Tofilau finally catches her with a European Uppercut out of the air!
Coda’s momentum is stopped dead in it’s tracks as Tofilau shakes one leg out from her kicks before he pulls her up to her feet and plants her back into the canvas with a Brainbuster. He looks for a cover.

Coda kicks out and stays alive in this match. Tofilau pulls her back to her feet by the hair, getting a warning from the referee which he ignores until Senior Official Yumi Akiyama physically pulls his arm away. Tofilau bows up to the woman that’s even smaller than Coda who runs up behind him and jumps into a Sunset Flip Rollup but Tofilau manages to roll back through it before a pin can be administered. Coda’s back up on her feet as well, and runs in with the “Sonata Knee” right to Tofilau’s head! Coda covers!

Tofilau grabs the bottom rope to break the pin! Coda rises and steps back into the far corner as Tofilau pulls himself up on the ropes and leans back against the corner, unknowingly putting himself in position. Coda charges in for the “Symphonic Elbow” with a loud kihap shout but Tofilau moves at the last second and shoves her face into the turnbuckle, bouncing her head off of it and leaving her staggering right into his grasp where he pulls her to the middle of the ring and plants her with “Thunderous Ascension” (Pumphandle Half Nelson Fireman’s Carry Driver) and keeps her legs hooked for the cover!

We’re back in LeeAnn Viskan’s office where the General Manager sits at her desk at her computer. Rather than looking buried in work, it looks like she’s watching something that has her full, undivided attention. Whatever it is, the woman shifts in her seat.LeeAnn Viskan: Oh…!
Another few seconds and her eyes go wide and she jumps a bit.
LeeAnn Viskan: Oh, that was fucking insane!
Steven Brody: What are you watching over there?
Sitting on the couch across from the desk with his phone in his hand, the Commissioner looks up with some curious and amusement on his face. LeeAnn waves him over.
LeeAnn Viskan: Steve, you gotta see this guy. C’mere!
Brody stands and starts walking over to and around the desk.
Steven Brody: What am I looking at here?
LeeAnn Viskan: You ever hear of a guy named Lawrence Whitikar?
Steven Brody: Lawrence Whitikar. Name rings a bell, kinda. Big shot on the indies, right?
LeeAnn Viskan: Uhhhh huh! Check this shit out.
LeeAnn clicks her mouse, rewinding the clip and clicks again. The camera doesn’t see what Brody and LeeAnn see but as the clip rolls again, Brody’s eyebrows lift in surprise.
Steven Brody: How the hell did he pull that one off?
LeeAnn Viskan: I know, right?! This kid’s insane!
Brody watches for a moment longer and shakes his head in disbelief before tapping the desk.
Steven Brody: Get him.
LeeAnn Viskan: Get him?
LeeAnn looks up with a wry smirk and Brody nods, affirmatively.
Steven Brody: Get him. Better yet, write his name down, I’ll have Gwen reach out to his people. Matter of fact, here.
Brody brings up his phone and starts tapping away at the screen.
Steven Brody: Lawrence…Whitikar?
LeeAnn Viskan: Whitakar. W-H-I-T-I-K-A-R.
Steven Brody: One T, right?
LeeAnn Viskan: Yeah.
Steven Brody: Making sure. I know some spell it with two.
Brody taps his phone again, sending the message before pulling up a chair to sit at the desk with LeeAnn as the two continue to watch while the shot cuts back to ringside.

Match #4/Singles
Teresa Morgan vs. Hideo Watanabe
~DING DING DING~
Hideo Watanabe and Teresa Morgan stand in their respective corners as the bell rings. The two size each other up before meeting in the center of the ring. Teresa juts her hand out for a handshake as Hideo looks to bow. Both stop, smile at each other, and Hideo sticks his hand out as Teresa goes to bow. The two offer a brief chuckle as Hideo’s hand meets Teresa in a show of sportsmanship. The two back up and circle, nodding at each other, before locking up. There is a brief push back and forth Teresa’s superior height and reach seems nullified by Hideo’s weight… at first. But Teresa’s superior strength wins out. She pushes Hideo back to the ropes, holding him against them. The referee hurries over and starts to count, but Teresa catches herself and releases just as he hits two and backs off and lets Hideo leave the ropes.
Hideo begins to pace, watching the green wrestler carefully and making a plan. He lunges at Teresa, who attempts to grab his arm, but he feints to the left. He tries again and watches Teresa grow more flustered as he feints again. Then Hideo rushes at Teresa, rolling through her parted legs as she grabs where he was, not where he is. Popping up behind her, Hideo grabs her around the waist and looks ready to suplex Teresa. Instead, he spins her around. Teresa attempts a back fist but Hideo catches her wrist and twists it and yanks the arm down. Teresa folds forward as Hideo raises her foot and drops the heel in the middle of her back. The rookie drops to the mat and Hideo jumps over, runs to the ropes and flips forward in a handspring. He bounces off the cables just as Teresa rises, attempting a handspring Pele kick. Morgan sees him coming and ducks the kick at her head while sweeping his arms from under him. Hideo collapses to the canvas. Teresa hops over him and launches herself in a standing moonsault, but Hideo raises his knees and Teresa slams across them before rolling off and to the side.
Both wrestlers rush and roll to their feet, colliding hard. Teresa drives a shoulder into Hideo and throws him back into the ropes. He slingshots back at Teresa, attempting to clothesline her. Morgan throws herself backwards, bending in an upside-down U shape as Hideo flies towards the cables in front of him. He slams against them and stumbles backwards, right into Teresa’s waiting arms. She throws him backwards in a German suplex and Watanabe lands on the back of his head. Morgan jumps on top of him and covers.
One…
Tw–
Tw–
Hideo bridges up, pushing Teresa off him. Whereas most NFW talent might be flustered or even angry, Teresa looks impressed, almost in awe that the man is still going. She pulls him up and attempts to sling Hideo into a corner, but Watanabe reverses. Teresa puts her arms out and stops her collision. Feeling the mat shake and assuming Hideo was about to slam into her, Teresa sticks a boot up behind her to greet him.
Hideo stops in time and grabs the leg. He raises Teresa’s leg and slams a punch into her kneecap. Teresa howls in shock but Hideo tucks the trapped arm under his arm and sweeps the other leg from under her. Teresa falls face-forward into the turnbuckles before tumbling to the mat. Hideo pulls her from the corner by her legs and attempts a Boston crab but Teresa’s superior strength lets her push out, sending him stumbling off of her. Teresa gets up and turns, greeting Hideo with an axe kick. To her frustration, he catches the ankle, so Teresa kicks her other leg up and slams her boot against the side of Hideo’s neck. Hideo falls backwards and Teresa lands on her back. Both kip up at the same time and Hideo launches forward in a rolling Koppo kick – or as he calls it, Bushido. Unfortunately for him, Teresa has already thrown forward her own Big Boot to the Face, which connects first. Hideo once more falls to the canvas and Teresa drops across him, rolling him up.

Darlyn Fajardo: Your winner by pinfall… TERESA MORGAN!!
Hideo bucks her off of him but a second too late. As he sits up, the disappointment is obvious in his face. He knows he could have kept going if the boot hadn’t knocked his senses for a loop. Teresa backs up, on her guard. She doesn’t think she has to worry about Hideo, but she still prepares just in care. They both rise, their eyes locked on each other.
Hideo offers a sheepish smile as he extends his hand again. Teresa cautiously accepts it and the shake before Hideo raises her arm and presents Teresa to the fans as the winner. The attendees explode with praise and Teresa beams, running to the turnbuckles and racing up them before raising her arms, all while Hideo quietly rolls out of the ring and trudges up the aisle to the entrance ramp.
Winner: Teresa Morgan
Result: Pinfall (Boot To Face)

“Classy” Bianca Page is walking hand and hand with her boyfriend, William Ryder, out of the Vlad Blackheart Colosseum."Classy" Bianca Page: Did you all see how dominant William was tonight? It will truly be the first of many nights here in NFW that he’ll be dominant.
William raises Bianca’s hand and kisses it.
"Classy" Bianca Page: Now that I got to brag about my guy for a second I gotta ask…Did you see Damon and Stacy after their match last week? Looks like they aren’t as friendly and respectful as they want the world to appear. Not shocking since they are both known underhanded shysters. Right, babe?
Bianca looks over at William and he shakes his head in agreement.
"Classy" Bianca Page: But what happened last week on Trauma was just the tip of the iceberg of what will happen at Rise of the Legends II. Because when Rise of the Legends ends I will be the one standing tall and celebrating post a NFW Championship match just like I did last week. Despite all the garbage Damon says, he knows that I beat him at WrestleWar. That it took both you and Stacy to keep the NFW Championship away from me last year.
Bianca and William arrive at their limo. William opens the door for Bianca.
"Classy" Bianca Page: Why am I so confident about this? Like I said, look back at our WrestleWar match. Like I also said, Damon and Stacy cannot coexist no matter what they say or do. It is just impossible for those two egomaniacs to get along. So when Rise of Legends is going off the air the last image you will see is me raising the NFW Championship in victory.
Bianca gets into the limo and followed by William.
