NFW Collision #197!

After the opening theme fades, we immediately hear the opening notes of “Kool-Aid” by Bring Me The Horizon. Out from the curtain comes Jessi Ozborne, donned in a white denim jacket and torn black skinny jeans, her signature shades glistening under the lights. She steps to the middle of the stage as she invites the crowd to get hyped with her. She gets a majority of cheers, with some amongst the crowd a bit hesitant to give her any applause given her recent attitude. She opens up her denim jacket, revealing the HYBRID Global Heavyweight Championship strapped around her waist.

Nick Hanson: There she is, HYBRID’s Global Heavyweight Champion, Jessi Ozborne, making her way down to the ring to start this show off! You can bet she has a lot to say tonight!

Olivia Mayfaire: ”Opinionated” has definitely been the major word used when discussing Jessi Ozborne in recent weeks! She’s had a lot to say, even about her own friends, that people have had varying opinions on!

Jim Reynolds: I, for one, love this new attitude of Jessi Ozborne! Just like two years ago, she’s finally waking up and seeing that world is not all gumdrops and rainbows! She’s finally seeing her “friends” for who they are, and if I were her, I’d be out hereto personally thank Kaya Parker for starting such a revelation for her two months ago!

Nick Hanson: Well thankfully for us, Jim, you’re not her, so she’ll actually have something interesting to say besides that!

Jessi makes her way down to the ring, requesting a microphone from one of the ringside technicians before swiping her hand across her neck to signal for the music to stop. She shushed the crowd, ensuring that everyone in the arena was quiet before starting off with her opening line.

Jessi Ozborne: Hello, Chicago…

Crowd: PAPI’S HOME!!

Jessi Ozborne: This would normally be the part where I get you all just to be a little bit louder, but the business I’m here to conduct today is a lot, lot more personal than usual, so maybe the less noise, the better. So without further ado or interruptions, let’s get down to business!

The same majority of the crowd continue to cheer Jessi on as she continues.

Jessi Ozborne: So what is business this week? I’m not gonna lie to you all, just like I never do. I’ve heard what everyone has to say, I’ve heard the opinions, the whispers and such about how I’ve changed. How my lack of trust in others is rearing its head for worst. How I am, and this is my favourite one frankly, “going down a dark path”.

Jessi pauses as she gauges the reaction from the crowd, that being a concerned murmuring. This peaks Jessi’s concern as well, with it being clear to see that it wasn’t the reaction she was expecting.

Jessi Ozborne: I’m not going to attempt to rationalize my behaviour towards others or in general. But I will say that through everything, the relationship between you and I has never changed. You can trust me. Which means you can trust when I say that all of this is only a bump in the road. Something to weather through and move on from. Trust me when I tell you that I will move on from this!

The crowd gives Jessi their applause, seemingly being won over by her words.

Jessi Ozborne: But you can’t start the process of moving on without exorcizing a few demons. Now I have a few demons of my own, as does anyone else. But this one, this is more profound. This demon has taken up my headspace for a long time, and it’s off the back of the fact that this demon has a name, and I know it very well. It’s a name I used to cherish, a name I used to associate with good things. That demon’s name is Kaya Parker.

The crowd boos at the sound of that name.

Jessi Ozborne: See next week, you all may think that’s gonna be me exorcizing the demon. But that right there is a two part job. I need full closure, I think we all do. So Kaya, because I know you’re back there, come out here right now and meet me face to face. No games, no Ruslan, no Genesis of Destruction, no Queens of Chaos. Just you and me, standing here face to face.

“The Poisoned Rose” Kaya Parker: Right when you thought things couldn't get any more interesting, you finally want to talk. You could have come to me privately and asked but yet here we are.

She steps out from the back, carrying only her guitar, she looks down at the ring as the fans boo her. She flips the fans off, then looks at Jessi.

“The Poisoned Rose” Kaya Parker: You've wanted to know for weeks why sweet Kaya became who she has, you've wondered why Lilith was the target. Here's the thing, does it matter now? No, next week I break the one person who has asked all the questions why I did what I did. You want to call me a demon, I've just sat in your mind for weeks. I'm not the one guiding your actions, those are all you, I'm just causing you—

She walks down to ringside looking at Jessi in the ring as the fans continue to boo her. She ignores the fans as she climbs up on the apron.

“The Poisoned Rose” Kaya Parker: Jessi, you and I were friends. Now this chapter ends next week, but for now, why don't you ask a question.

Jessi cracks a slight smile as she looks down, presumably thinking of something.

Jessi Ozborne: You want me to ask you a question? Alright fine. I’ll bite.

Jessi clears her throat, seemingly giving what she’s about to say some more thought.

Jessi Ozborne: August 18th, 2021. I remember the day very well. We had been working the independents together, and you injured your knee a week earlier, and you had the surgery on August 18th. It was a Wednesday. Do you remember what you made me promise you on that day, Kaya?

Things fall silent between the two, with it either indicating that Kaya doesn’t remember, or that she remembers all too well.

Jessi Ozborne: You made me promise you that I would never leave you behind.

Jessi gets slightly choked up on that final word, making her feel as though she needed to try again.

Jessi Ozborne: You made me promise that I’d never leave you behind, and so I didn’t. No matter how busy my schedule got, I’d be there the whole way through your recovery. When I put pen to paper to come work here in NFW, I did so under the promise that when you got better, they would give you a chance.

When people gave you a hard time when you first landed in Zion Wrestling, I was there. When I first started the Queens of Chaos, you were one of the first people I came to. I never left you behind, so why would you do that to me?

Kaya then got into the ring after she had heard Jessi getting emotional, she then looked at her eye to eye, taking her cowboy hat off and placing it on the ground between them.

“The Poisoned Rose” Kaya Parker: That's a laugh Jessi, no, no, no. Things started to change when she came around, when Lilith arrived. See when Lilith and I formed The Deathriders, you were so happy to see us together. And yes you would have been there for my rehab, but I had gone to Finland, for the first time, and it wasn't just rehab…

Kaya then turned her back to Jessi.

“The Poisoned Rose” Kaya Parker: It was more than that, but you had to go tour the world. Me? I had Ruslan and his father, the two people who knew being tough on me would better me. You know something? Last year, Lilith almost cost us the Zion Wrestling Tag Team titles, because she got too reckless. But after all was said and done we were happy. Then you—

She turns around and puts her fingers into Jessi’s chest, pushing her back.

“The Poisoned Rose” Kaya Parker: You began showing favoritism to her. “Oh poor Lilith. She got hurt. Poor Lilith can't stand on her own to go to the back.” Where was that for me huh? Your promise to me died that night. The night that my new friends got the advantage, that is when your promise died. So you thought I was just going to sit around and wait for you and her to take me out? NO! I struck first, you two–

Jessi stands there staring at Kaya, almost as if she’s holding back her rage.

Jessi Ozborne: What floors me the most about all of this, is all the damage you’ve done to all the people who loved you because of what you thought would happen. You wanna talk about how I showed favoritism to Lilith. How I loved Lilith more than you because of how much I had helped her. But what you don’t seem to understand is that I didn’t do all of that because I wanted to. I did it all because I needed to. I did it to fill the void, because Lil needed a sister, and instead she got you.

The crowd lets out an audible gasp at that line from Jessi, knowing just how personal that dig is.

Jessi Ozborne: And at the end of the day, that sums up exactly the type of person that Kaya Parker is. Stumbling upon problems of her own creation, and immediately looking for someone to blame. It can never be your fault, so it has to be your sister’s. When it can’t be your sister’s, it has to be mine. When it’s no longer my fault, I’m sure it’ll end up being somebody else’s. Hell you got plenty of new friends to point the finger at when the time comes. Regardless of who you wanna play the blame game with next, I can promise—

Jessi gets right up in Kaya’s face as she says what she does next.

Jessi Ozborne: Next week, when you’re lying in your own blood with a chain around your neck, you’re gonna know exactly who’s fault that is.

Kaya then smiled, she hit Jessi with the microphone in her hand.

Nick Hanson: Looks like things are breaking down here!

Olivia Mayfaire: Was only a matter of time!

She knocked her down, giving her a few shots. She then gets up off of her backing up into a corner, she lets Jessi get up then goes running at her with a Spinning headbutt. Kaya then slides out of the ring, going under the ring pulling out a chain, with a dog collar attached. Kaya then slides back into the ring, going over to the corner where Jessi was and giving her a couple more shots screaming in her face. She puts the dog collar around her neck, picks her up, and tosses her over the top rope, pulling on the chain.

Olivia Mayfaire: Whoa, whoa, WHOA! HEY! WHAT THE HELL?!

Nick Hanson: Things have gotten extremely out of hand here! Kaya could strangle Jessi to death right now! Somebody do something!

Referees rush down to pull the two apart. Ruslan comes up behind them pushing his way through, holding them back for a moment. Kaya let her fall to the floor as she posed for the fans, smirking. The referees go over to check on Jessi as Ruslan motions for her to get out of the ring.

Nick Hanson: That could very easily be the sight that we see come next Tuesday at Rise of Legends…

Olivia Mayfaire: A sight I’m sure no one wants to see, Nic—

Jim Reynolds: But one they’re gonna have to stomach! This could very well be the end of Jessi Ozborne!
We cut backstage to find Josh Davidson standing by with a microphone in hand and a smile on his face.

Josh Davidson: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time… Killian Oliver.

The camera pans out a little as Killian Oliver appears on camera with his arms folded across his chest as he glares at the interviewer.

Josh Davidson: Killian? Let’s talk about what went down between yourself, Johnny Towers and the Killer Smurfs last week.

Killian Oliver: No, Josh… let’s not. For starters, those two little morons are in my rear view mirror now. They can focus on having fun in their little tag team division while I focus on winning a real championship. And as far as the wannabe punk goes--

Suddenly, Oliver’s attention is diverted and he shoves Davidson out of the way as Johnny Towers comes charging into camera view and he and Oliver burst out into an all out brawl with one another, laying haymakers into each other.

Nick Hanson: And Johnny Towers coming out of nowhere and these two are trying to tear each other apart!

Jim Reynolds: They could very well kill each other if someone doesn’t step in and try and break things up!

Olivia Mayfaire: No kidding!

As the two men continue to brawl, a swarm of security and officials along with Collision General Manager, Jessica Clarkson-Morian arrive on the scene as the security and officials manage to break the two apart from each other as the GM then steps between them both.

Jessica Clarkson-Morian: Enough of this nonsense! Now both of y’all pack your things! Y’all got the rest of the night off!

Clarkson-Morian then marches away off camera while Towers and Oliver struggle to break loose from their restraints as we cut elsewhere.
The scene comes up in the middle of the ring as the camera pans around at the fans who are enjoying the show thus far. Last week, the fans were able to see Chris Matthews making his debut in the NFW when he was able to secure a victory against Fumagalli Bocchino Inutile and was able to beat him in the middle of the ring. That's when “God of War” by Dirty Wormz ft Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko blast over the P.A System.



That’s when the fans raised to their feet as Chris Matthews is seen coming out from backstage. He’s wearing a black leather jacket, black loose-fitting jeans, black shirt, and black sneakers on his feet. He looks at the fans and sees a few signs from the crowd with him on it.


He starts to walk off the stage and down the ramp. He slaps the hands of the fans. He went to the steel steps and climbed them. He walks alongside the ring and dusts off his shoes before entering them. He walks towards the rope and grabs a mic as his music fades.

Chris Matthews: What’s up to the people of Chicago? How are you enjoying tonight?

They were cheering as Chris couldn’t help but admire what they were doing. He raised his hand to keep them quiet so he could speak.

Chris Matthews: You have to admit that I love the feeling of you guys going crazy. I can’t imagine being anywhere else but here. I bet you all enjoyed seeing me beat down Fumagalli Bocchino Inutile, right? I know I enjoyed showing everyone in the fans and the superstars in the back what I could do. When I was a little boy, I didn’t have a dream about being a wrestler. No, I dreamed of being a soldier, and I became one. After the war, I came back and trained to be a wrestler. I wasn’t sure how well I would do, but here I am still standing.

He walks side to side in the ring and continues to speak about everything that happened last week.

Chris Matthews: Last week, I was enjoying the show until later that night I heard Tanja running her mouth about me. She stands here as the Event Horizon champion and has the broken dreams of people who tried to take them from her. I called her out on X, which everyone saw. For a while, she stood away until she finally popped back up and said something.

He brings his head up while looking at the camera.

Chris Matthews: Tanja, I know you’re in the back right now. Do you want to run your mouth about me? How about you come out to this ring and face like a champion you are? As I said before, Tanja. I’m not hard to find. So grow a pair and get out here right now.


Pyros hit as Videos of bustling crowds in various locations of New Orleans appear on the tron as the dark and melodic tones of the intro "Voodoo" by Godsmack blasts on the P.A. system. Tanja comes out onto the top of the ramp in a style compared to Gail Kim during her early time in TNA before heading down the ramp with some of her black leather coat flows at her feet while the mix of boos and jeers and cheers from the crowd fills the arena. She slaps hands with a few fans at ringside before she reaches the bottom of the ramp.


Tanja walked up towards the ring and stopped at the bottom of the ring with a coy smile as she placed a hand on the Event Horizon title that was resting around her waist while her spiritual advisor was standing behind her. Tanja picked up the microphone that Celeste had given her and began to speak.

Tanja Devereaux: You seem to think we are a coward are you? It shows you have not learned much of us when you crossed paths with us in the past. We may have changed our personality and way of life in the past several years but it doesn’t mean our respect for this business has not changed. We can share our words about any of the living as we wish, whether they like it or not. We have not forgotten how emotionally volatile you are and what words will affect you.

Tanja’s hand remained on the Event Horizon title while the smirk remained on her face.

Tanja Devereaux: We understand that as a champion, we have a target on our back. We never know who will come after us and when. We may have taken some time to counter your words on X but we know full well that you just want to use our mind games against us but it will take a lot to affect us mentally.

Chris Matthews: Me me me. Us us us. You you you. You sound like a broken record, Tanja. You want to know something about mind games and how I was trying to use it against you? I wasn't. You see, people in the past have tried to play mind games with me. Randy Fields, Scotty Paine, Eric Draven, Kenzie Death, Red Dragon, Jacob Cass, and so many others. They thought they could get inside my mind and make me mentally unstable and not focus. But you want to know something, Tanja? It didn't work.

His eyes glued on Tanja and her championship as he knows what he wants. He raises his arms and points at the belt that is around her waist as the fans start to cheer and yell out. The mic was still on his mouth as he spoke once again.

Chris Matthews: Those souls that you crushed from their defeat will finally be released, Tanja. I’m coming after you and that Event Horizon championship that you have around your waist. All these fans see me as the White Ranger of NFW and I’m going to let them know how right they are. You are the evil that I’m fighting to make this place better. And as for the target on your back? The difference between me and the rest of the people that tried to take you down is that I don’t miss.

Tanja is heard sharing a sing-song laugh to what Chris was trying to have a claim against her as Celeste is seen rolling her eyes.

Tanja Devereaux: You must mistake us for your former enemies as unlike them, we have not called you unstable in any form while we use our mind games. Also unlike the names you have listed, our way of life is more subtle and we have a way of manipulating others in a different way. We make people notice that not all ways of life are created equal and adaptation in the world of professional wrestling, like in the crossroads of life and death, is needed in order to SURVIVE! If we didn’t adapt, we would not have made the path we walked on now.

Tanja slowly climbs the steps and enters the ring as Celeste remains on the bottom of the ramp.

Tanja Devereaux: You may call yourself the White Ranger of NFW but we are the Voodoo Witch and it is the name that was BESTOWED on us! Should we need to educate you in our ways while battling for our Event Horizon title, so be it! The definition of evil is mutable for us, the path of light and dark is a path that is shades of gray and is never a straight path as most. Should you recall the history of the original Green ranger, you would know that better than most.

Chris Matthews looks at her as he put the mic up to his mouth.

Chris Matthews: Doesn’t matter what you say, Tanja. You somehow beat Abigail, you bet your ass I'm coming after that belt next.

Tanja Devereaux: That may be your thought process Matthews but if you wish to cleanse yourself, the path of the crossroads must be taken. We have seen people attempt it and it is not always an easy path to walk. Abigail has not crossed paths with someone like us before and she will need much to deal with us. It will take a lot for you to deal with if you wish to come after us and our title. By the way, if you decide to involve yourself in our match, Celeste will not take it lightly and watch our back during the match.

Tanja is seen at the top of the ramp with Celeste as she is heard cackling at Chris’s proclamation.
Cameras go inside Konrad Raab's locker room, where the reactions of boos were expected, and he was used to it all by now. However, the room was dark, with only green LED lighting. Konrad sat forward towards the camera, looking intense.

Konrad Raab: "Poor bastard that has to face me in the ring tonight, whoever he or she is. Now, what I will do in the ring will be practice of how angry I am like I've been my entire life. All I will do is crush you and hurt you because that's simply the only way I can get all of my anger out since I know I need to learn how to use my anger constructively, and that's why I'm in the wrestling business because wrestling is the only way I can do it."

Konrad shook his head since he didn't know who he was facing as he had seen bits of the show last week, including a debuting Chris Matthews, someone Konrad knew all too well, but for now, he decided to focus on himself.

Konrad Raab: "There are some wrestling names I know who wrestled in the ring last week I've worked with in the past, but for now, I'm completely focusing on improving myself and my opponent who I feel sorry for when I crush their head and beat them with my fist. No disrespect to them, by the way; it's just how it's got to be done to show everyone in the New Frontier Wrestling locker room my struggles, and I know some of you will pick a part of it and trash me and please do because it will encourage me to change."

Konrad knew his time was coming to make an impact soon, so he decided to talk for the last time before he wrestled in the ring.

Konrad Raab: "I will be focused on improving myself straight away. I want to become a champion here, and there are things I need to do, like winning matches and improving myself mentally, that's been holding me back. However, I assure you things will be different, and you will see what I'm capable of in the ring tonight. I expect wrestlers to call me out, and I will welcome it. I won't trash you unless I have to but just watch basically, and it's going to be a nightmare for any wrestler to handle me, and the poor bastard is going to experience the hell I'll give him or her because they are fucked."

Konrad looks intensely at the camera before the cameras end up elsewhere backstage.
Backstage in the Colosseum, Thicc Attack stood proudly with the tag team titles draped across their shoulders with Olivia Herrera between the two of them. There were smirks on all of their faces as they stood there. They looked at Olivia who seemed to have the biggest smirk of them all before Janie spoke.

Janie Grayson: Why are we smirking, you may be asking yourselves? We have the numbers against us when it comes to Rise of Legends, after all. Yes, it is a tag team match, but let’s all be honest with ourselves…Legacies has the numbers that Thicc Attack simply doesn’t have.

Catalina Tavares: Until now, that is. You see, Liv here has had her eye on someone from our time in the indies for quite a while now. And she made a little call…

Olivia stepped forward a little, putting herself in front of Cat and Janie with a grin.

Olivia Herrera: Imagine my surprise when she agreed to come be a part of Thicc Attack…and imagine how my surprise grew when she said she had a friend that would love to join us as well. And just in time for Rise of Legends as well which is quite ironic considering two of Legacies members know one of these women quite well.

Olivia looked to the side, and the camera panned around to reveal the newest members of Thicc Attack…Kali Bates and none other than Skylar Carsons! Janie and Cat smirked as the two women came over and stood beside them, a blank expression on Kali's face but a grin on Skylar's as she gave a little wave to the camera.

Olivia Herrera: Kali Bates and Skylar Carsons, ladies and gentlemen…the newest additions to Thicc Attack and Collision as of this evening! And they'll be at Rise of Legends to even things up a bit. Let's see how much that's enjoyed by my ladies’ opponents of the evening. Now we have business to discuss.

With that, the group turned and walked away, a little grin and wave coming from Skylar Carsons once more as she was the last of the group to walk down the hall.
We cut backstage as we see Killian Oliver making his way through the parking lot with his duffel bag over his shoulder. He shakes his head, visibly annoyed over his altercation with Johnny Towers earlier in the evening. As he reaches his rental, he reaches into his pocket to retrieve his keys when suddenly he’s blasted in the back of the head with a lighttube, with the culprit being none other than Johnny Towers.

Nick Hanson: And Johnny Towers just blindsided Killian Oliver! That lighttube exploded across the back of Killian’s head!

Jim Reynolds: He’s really not taking Killian walking out on him last week well.

Olivia Mayfaire: And of course, Johnny is taking it too far.

Towers then proceeds to grab Oliver by the wrist as he climbs up onto the hood of the rental and in one swift motion, he pulls him up and nails him with FUBAR! Sending the Washington native crashing through the windshield of his own rental as Towers laughs at his handiwork before hopping back down off the car.

Nick Hanson: Good God! Killian went right through the windshield of his rental!

Jim Reynolds: He better hope he has insurance to cover that.

Olivia Mayfaire: Shut up, Jim!

Towers backs up, outstretching his arms as EMT’s, officials and security rush onto the scene.

Johnny Towers: That’s wot fuckin’ ‘appens when ya mess wiv Johnny fuckin’ Towers, ya wanka!

Towers continues to laugh at his handiwork before he disappears off camera as the EMT’s and officials check on Oliver as we cut elsewhere.
