NFW Trauma #144 - 04/06/2024!

As the show intro fades out, we’re greeted by a familiar song.



Kūali’i Tofilau walks through the curtain, making good on his promise of being the first face that the fans at home see. He walks out with a smug smirk on his face, looking around at the fans before raising his fist high as he walks down the ramp.

He reaches the ring and climbs up the steps slowly, climbing into the ring and going over to the corner nearest the timekeepers and gets a microphone. His music fades out and the crowd begins to boo as Kūali’i just stands there and chuckles to himself, raising the microphone up and beginning to speak.

Kūali’i Tofilau: You all done yet?

The crowd respond in boo’s that Kūali’i just soaks up and laughs along to. He doesn’t care, but he finds it humorous that everyone else does that deeply.

Kūali’i Tofilau: I bet you were all expecting another outcome, weren’t you? I bet every single one of you were hoping for another outcome to that match… but you know what? The God of Thunder does what is needed of him. He wins the matches he needs to win. He beats whoever it is that he needs to beat! I beat Travis Levitt. I beat William Ryder. I will continue to beat whoever it is that NFW puts in front of me until all of you begin to put some goddamn respect on my name!

The crowd continue to boo at this but Kūali’i does not care as he continues to speak.

Kūali’i Tofilau: People on the internet like to talk. They like to hide behind a screen and talk shit they will never be able to back up. Calling me a… what was it again… a ‘Cheap Forgery’? That’s laughable. Last I heard, if you were ‘The Real Deal’ you wouldn’t be leaving any promotion that refuses to bend the knee to your every whim and books you like a “God of War”, would you? Nah. You’d stick it out, right? You’d stand here in front of whoever it is that was put in front of you and you would show why you DESERVE to be treated… and you’d prove your worth.

Tofilau laughs to himself, before continuing.

Kūali’i Tofilau: But enough about that bum. It’s time we focus on what's really important here… and that is your God of Thunder. That is your Iron Chief. That is the man who will carry this company on his very back and drag it through the pits of hell, whether anyone here likes it or not… you will all grow to respect me and what it is that I do… which leads me on perfectly to something I think is quite interesting, and that is the championship titles in this company. There are so many, yet none of them truly have a champion they can look up to. You have on Collision the World Champion who nobody ever hears from, and when he does decide to speak it’s like a doll you pull the string of and it repeats the same tired lines he always repeats, then on Trauma you got the New Frontier title held by a guy who couldn’t beat the, and I use this term lightly, “best”, that Trauma had at the time and could only win the belt after he was gone…

At this point he stops speaking, looking directly into the camera. He takes a minute before he continues.

Kūali’i Tofilau: Then you got Bianca Davis as the Genesis champion and even if you paid me I could not tell you of anyone less deserving to be a champion… except for someone like Raseri, maybe. Or anyone in that fucking motorcycle club that likes to LARP around like they’re in Sons of Anarchy… but thankfully for me, and everyone in this arena watching the God of Thunder… we aren’t on the B show.

And he says all of this with his signature smug look across his face.

Kūali’i Tofilau: So, I don’t think there's anyone else that's worth talking about, and I’m being told I have taken up too much time so some matches are gonna need to have their times cut, not that I care, but it is what it is. So… before I take my leave… you will all recognize that you are in the presence of GREATNESS... and you will BEND. THE. KNEE.

With that, Kūali’i throws the microphone over his head and raises his fist high, pointing it towards the sky as his theme begins to play, before then leaving the ring as the scene fades.
The sisters are seen sitting in the back doing their stretches together. The cameraman looked at the two as they turned their heads watching him approach them. They hop as Zenia leans on Emma's shoulder. Zenia smiled as her neon blue eyes looked at the cameraman.

Zenia Hobbs: You know since we got that first win, we've been enjoying the good life, making new friends, the club scene. Tonight though we're gonna be making some newer friends. I mean don't get me wrong, we're gonna make the effort.

Emma then looked over at cameraman.

Emma Wexler: Tonight being only our second match in all of nfw should be interesting. Efficiency. Is just trying to make a name off of us and I won't stand for it. Zenia doesn't stand for it. We might be all about the having fun and playing games but in the ring is a whole different animal.

Zenia smiled and put her belt on as she looked over at her bestie. She then turned to the cameraman.

Zenia Hobbs: I think I hear that P.A.R.T.Y calling. See you soon boys.

Emma and Zenia walk off as they high five getting ready for their match.
After the bell rings and EFFICIENCY are announced as the winners, Romeo Travar goes to the timekeeper's area and grabs a microphone before beginning to speak.

Romeo Travar: Yeaaaaaaaah! I bet all of you weren’t expectin’ to see that, huh? We was EFFICIENT in that ring, weren’t we Wes?

He says towards his best friend and tag partner, before sliding underneath the ring to join him, raising the microphone to his mouth he continues to speak.

Romeo Travar: What you all were witness to tonight was the birth of the next greatest team that New Frontier Wrestling has ever seen! All those teams that used to hold those NFW Tag Titles, yeah? The Last of the Valkyries?

Romeo looks at Wesley with a smile before directing his attention back at the camera.

Romeo Travar: We’d beat ‘em. The Brothers Drake? We’d whoop they asses too! Unnatural Forces, Gallus Mag, Astro Creeps... I could stand here and list all of them off but the answer would still be the same! Shit even when it comes to those new belts they got, ain’t none of them able to hold a candle to EFFICIENCY. I know Wesley feelin’ the same way but my boy likes to keep that shit Low Key, don’t you Wes?

Wesley takes the microphone from Romeo before beginning to speak.

Wesley Carlo: That’s right. See fact of the matter is, we ain’t just come here to be contenders. We ain’t about to be another name in this division, we about to BE the division. See, one thing you gon learn about Rome and I real quick? Is that when we come through, we come for everything. We don’t take backseats to nobody, especially not the “competition” out here in NFW.

Wesley taps Romeo on the shoulder, with the two nodding their heads in agreement before he carries on.

Wesley Carlo: And when we come for everything, we get that shit in blood. Pretty soon, each and every single team in this company is about to find out what we mean by that, just like these two did tonight. Because another thing you gon learn about Rome and I? Is that when we come for everything? It’s guaranteed that we GET everything. The titles, the fame, and the respect. That’s why it’s all caps when you speaking our name.

Romeo gets the microphone from Wesley and begins to pace back and forth behind him, clearly hyping himself up.

Romeo Travar: And that’s gonna be a name that everyone on the NFW roster is gonna grow to respect. It’s a name that's gonna be on top of every Pay Per View card here soon enough. It’s a fuckin’ name that every single one of you will be chanting soon enough!

Romeo stops pacing now, standing side by side with Wesley as they share a look, before then looking back at the camera and continuing.

Romeo Travar: EFFICIENCY. And it’s all fuckin caps when you speak our name!

With that, “2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted” begins to play as Romeo and Wesley stand in the ring, and the scene fades out.
Seth Ernst: Hold on, what's going on? apparently? We have some commotion going on in the back. Can we get a camera crew to see what's going on?

The cameras cut backstage in a panic, and we see people running all over, heading as they pick up a bunch of commotion backstage; the cameras soon pick up on it, as the cameras spot Darcey Graves fighting off an attack by Tasha Jackson, who had launched an attack on her despite the off-guard nature of it. Darcey seems to be holding her own. As the two exchanges blow, we see Simon looking on, worried for Tasha, thinking he should try something; he begins to move closer to the action; however, he stops in his tracks, unsure of what to do.

Seth Ernst: Oh lord, it looks like Tasha attacked Darcey; this must be for March Mayhem! But where is Bianca?! It looks like she can't do her own dirty work.

Lucas Knox: Stay out of it, Simon; I can't stand him! But it looks like Darcey is holding her own.

All of a sudden, a loud thud can be heard as Darcey topples over, falling as Simon jumps up and down, cheering loudly as the fan's boos are heard as the announcers groan, with the expectation of Miranda, who loudly proclaims.

Miranda Augustino : You two were saying?

The cameras finally see the Queen, who is holding her Genesis title. She just struck Darcey in the back with it. She has a scowl on her face; she is clearly not in any mood, though a slight smirk crosses her features as she yells down at the fallen Darcey as the muscular woman tries to get up to all fours.

Queen Bianca Davis : Hey Darcey, whats the matter? Did you hurt your head? Good!

Bianca launches stomps with her royal boots as Darcey tries to weather the storm from her and Tasha, who is breathing heavily; as Darcey tries to get up, Bianca takes her scepter and launches a shot right to the back, forcing her back down. Her voice soon rings out as he yells at Tasha and Simon.

Queen Bianca Davis : Hold her up, now!

They soon hold her up as Seth screams out over the microphone.

Seth Ernst: What this isn’t enough Bianca?! ALL FOR RUINING YOUR DOG'S BIRTHDAY?!

Bianca soon saunters over as she tries to fight out of it, though she's in pain as Bianca holds her title belt right to Darcey's face, forcing her to get an up-close look at it. Despite her best efforts to fight out of this, she is stuck as the shrill voice of the Queen is heard.

Queen Bianca Davis : Now take a look at this, you ungrateful bitch see that Championship?! You don't deserve it, you don't deserve a shot, and you won't be getting a shot. Do you understand me?! You ruined The Duchess's birthday, you monster, and now you are going to pay for that. You understand me. You have one shot to save yourself, and you know what to do to save yourself?

Bianca soon grabs her face by her well-manicured hand, forcing her eyes into hers. The Queen now has an evil look. Knowing she is in complete control of this situation, the Queen's typically smug tone is replaced with a vindictive, malevolent tone.

Queen Bianca Davis : You will bend the knee right this instant you understand me?

Darcey looks up at Bianca, but instead of bending the knee, she spits right in the face of the Queen, which causes the blonde to look disgusted. The muscular woman once again besmirches her. Her face was wide with shock and disgust as she soon wiped it off before slapping Darcey hard twice before grabbing her scepter. She motioned like she was going to hit her directly again in the head; however, she smirked as she went behind, motioning for Tasha and Simon to lift her up slightly before walking her hard right in the back of the leg.

Seth Ernst: This is sick, someone stop this?! Where is security?!

Spoon security rushes in as Bianca smirks and hits her in the same leg with one more short before cackling loudly as they run over. The Queen soon motions for Simon and Tasha to follow her as she proudly displays her Championship.

Queen Bianca Davis : This belongs to me. You don't deserve it. None of your heroes do! This is a tiny taste of what happens when you cross the Queen. Did you get that?! Now, let's get out of this dump.

Bianca soon saunters off with her entourage as security motions for help for the fallen woman. The scene fades to black; the last image is of Darcey Graves in pain; the look on her face speaks volumes.
After the attack, Darcy is sitting in the trainers room getting looked at by the trainers as her father comes storming in. He looks at her, seeing the damage to her leg. He then steps out of the room. As he paced back and forth, the cameraman approached. Ciaran looks at him, then looks back at the trainer room.

Ciaran Page: See Bianca what you've done is straight suicidal. Darcy I know will get up and brush herself off of it. What you've truly done is now woken up the bear after I told my wife, my daughters that I wouldn't wrestle anymore, just offer the advice.

He kicks the box next to him. He looks at the cameraman looking him directly in the eyes. He pushed him away, then motioned for him to come back over.

Ciaran Page: You let that queen bitch know, if she's got any sense of balls that she will face me, title, non title, have her little friends with her. Then you might think Darcy is worthy, when she had been more worthy than you were. I can't wait to see Darcy rip you apart.

He smirked then looked into the room. She was slowly getting up from the table her leg taped up. Ciaran then smiled looking at the cameraman.

Ciaran Page: The reaper is back.

Darcy limps out of the room looking at the cameraman then says nothing as she passed him Ciaran following her.
Backstage, Stephanie Kenyon walks back into the dressing room to find her partner, Abigail Lindsay sitting by herself and seemingly staring off into space as if lost in her own little world. Stephanie looks on, concern covering her face.

Stephanie Kenyon: Abi?

Barely registering that someone has entered the room with her, Abigail turns to face the direction the sound had come from.

Abigail Lindsay: Hm?

Stephanie nods to her.

Stephanie Kenyon: Are you ok?

Taken aback, Abigail struggles to answer.

Abigail Lindsay: I…

She sighs.

Abigail Lindsay: I don’t know.

Stephanie comes closer, visibly worried.

Stephanie Kenyon: I need you, Abi. I know I haven’t earned the right to say “Behold” like everybody else but, I wanna get there and I need your help. We’re a team and I can’t do this by myself.

Abigail grabs Stephanie’s hand.

Abigail Lindsay: You won’t have too, sweetie. Here is where my mind is at. Wrestle War 2022 was both a high and a low for me. 2022 marked the last time I held a championship of any sort. In return, everyone welcomed me into The Kingdom with open arms. Joy to the world. Life can’t get any better than that, right?

Abigail sighs.

Abigail Lindsay: 2023 wasn’t a banner year. I was an afterthought in this company. Earlier this year I tapped out to Tanja. What have I really done to live up to The Kingdom’s lofty expectations of dominance? We, as whole, haven’t run roughshod through anyone. The Queens and The Wolves have gotten all the press. Took LeAnna months to realize we are drawing a paycheck. Tonight is important. We can’t afford to lose. Pressure, I know. I feel the same pressure you do to live up to The Kingdom’s reputation. I am tired of letting our family down.

Stephanie shakes her head.

Stephanie Kenyon: Abi, you have not let anyone down. Y’all’s the kind of champion that can teach me how to get to that level. I ain’t never managed that yet. I did beat one in Hybrid once but I’ve only been doin’ this for a year. I’m still learnin’.

Abigail smiles.

Abigail Lindsay: Your faith in me is the reason I hang around, Steph.

Abigail places her hand on Steph’s heart.

Abigail Lindsay: I, Abigail Lindsday, Queen of all things Wasteland. Wrong company, I know---

She giggles.

Abigail Lindsay: Anywho I, Abigail Lindsay, so solemnly swear I won’t let you down. You will fulfill your wildest potential. The world will come to acknowledge Stephanie Kenyon as a pretty big deal in professional wrasslin. By hook or by crook, lets be honest, I am no angel, by the end of 2024 you will have a championship wrapped around your luscious waist or die trying. Metaphorically speaking. You say you need me? I need you just the same.

Abigail leans in to kiss Stephanie on the forehead. Stephanie smiles happily.

Stephanie Kenyon: Y’all ready to go out there and show Spectrum who the Kingdom is then?

Abigail nods.

Abigail Lindsay: Damn straight.

Stephanie Kenyon: Alright, let’s kick this pig!
The scene comes up backstage as you see Dominique Ciotti standing there looking at the camera. She has a mic up to her mouth as she starts to speak. Standing right beside her is Nakita Niles who is wearing her ring gear for her match against Ryder.

DOMINIQUE CIOTTI: Standing here with me right now is none other than the “Soldier Queen” herself, Nakita Niles.

She looks at Nakita with the mic still next to her mouth.

DOMINIQUE CIOTTI: Nakita, tonight is the night where you can end the losing streak that you have going. As everyone saw on Twitter, you and Ryder seem to have respect for each other. But at the same time, he has been in a foul mood.

NAKITA NILES: Listen, you can stop right there, sweetie. I get where Ryder is coming from. But I know that when you get pissed, you lose yourself. You lose your focus.

She looks at the camera as she continues to speak.

NAKITA NILES: I get what you’re going through, Ryder. I do. But you should know better than to lose your focus in a match. I’m losing left and right, but you need to understand that after every loss is a good time to get better. Day in and day out I work my butt off to prove to everyone and myself that I belong here. I could stand here and tell the world that I’m a defeated woman, but I am not. The way I see it, it’s just a string of bad luck that everyone goes through. But I’m not going to sit here and cry about it. No, I’m going to get myself to work harder and harder until I get back to the winning ways that I know I can achieve.

You see, I thought I needed to change who I was if I wanted to be something. Every night, I looked at myself in the mirror and I saw something I didn’t like. I didn’t like the black hair, the leather clothes, or any of that. I was always told to change it up to get better. But what I did was forget who I was as a wrestler and as a human being. Which is why I went back to who I was. I was lying to myself that I needed to have all these fancy bikes and stuff to show everyone I was tough. But then I realized that the toughness that I have doesn’t come out with words or looks, it comes from within. Being true to yourself can get you far. In just a few minutes, you and I are going to be there in front of those fans who paid for their hard-earned tickets to be here.

She heard her music go off as she smiled at the camera.

NAKITA NILES: See you in a few minutes, Ryder.

OOH-RAH

She walks away to head to the main area.
The scene cuts to a well-lit room, and an EARLIER TODAY stamp in the bottom corner lets us know this is pre-recorded. Sitting in an arm-chair in the center of the screen is ‘The Dragon’ Travis Levitt, wearing his ‘Year Of the Dragon’ merch shirt, and also showing a decent few stitches above one eye. Travis stares at the camera for a moment, and then glances over at the glass of whiskey he’s nursing on the arm of the chair before looking back to the camera.

Travis Levitt: Hey New Frontier. How’s all my Dragonites doing? It's been a long week for me, let me tell you.

Travis idly reaches up to rub gently at his stitches and then shifts in his seat with a groan.

Travis Levitt: Eight stitches above an eye. A few fractured ribs. Other assorted scars and wounds all over my body. All signs of the war that me and Kuali’i went through at March Mayhem. When I said I would let the wheel decide our fate, I was hoping for like…..submission or No Finishers. I guess luck really was on the God’s side, huh?

Travis pauses to take another deep breath but then grins as he forces a grin across his lips.

Travis Levitt: It was a hell of a war though. And I came at the God of Thunder with everything. And anyone with two eyes could see I threw everything I had at Kuali’i. He got the win, but I made a God bleed. I’m proud of that. What I’m not proud of though, is the response I got from one member of the NFW roster. A certain, Classy lady. Yeah, Bianca. I’m talking to you.

Travis pauses for a moment, raising his glass to take a sip and then setting it aside before he looks back at the camera.

Travis Levitt: I expect this kind of shit talk from Davis, Page. But not you. I thought you were better then that. If you can look at what I did last weekend, and think for even a single moment that it wasn’t enough, then you’re crazy. Will might have got hurt as a message to me, but he’s a big boy too. He can fight his own battles, when he’s ready to. And even Will texted me that it was one hell of a match. So why didn’t you?

Travis raises a hand and then shakes his head with a sigh.

Travis Levitt: You know what. I don’t care why. Because after that beating from Tofilau, I came home to my daughter. And I did some thinking. And 2024 hasn’t been a great year for me so far. I lost my Genesis title to Davis, who has proceeded to duck and dodge every challenger. I got my ribs whacked by an exploding baseball bat, and now I got you calling me out and demanding I do more….So you know what, I will.

I’m going to do what I said I wanted to do from the moment I came into New Frontier. I’m going to get myself back on track, and set off after what I really want. What all Dragon’s want. Gold. And I’m going to do it, by challenging one of NFW’s biggest and best talents to a match next week. A woman who earlier this year was fighting Damon Cross for the New Frontier Championship. A woman who just last year won the Wildcard Briefcase, and then blew her chance to win the Championship when she failed her cash in. A woman that needs a sharp quick detour back to reality, courtesy of some Flames from the Dragon.

Travis groans and sits forward slightly, leaning closer to the camera, and growling slightly.

Travis Levitt: Next week, live on Trauma. I’m challenging you to a match, Bianca Page. You think I didn’t do enough to defend your boys honor? Come show me how much better you would have done. I’ll see you next week.

And with that the scene cuts out.
The camera cut back to the backstage and the camera cut to the interview area where everyone can see Dakota Winters and Ayu Megumi standing there with the microphone in their hands as Ayu Megumi waves her hand to the camera and with her huge smile on her face just like a normal day of the girl name Ayu Megumi before Ayu Megumi turns her attention to Dakota Winters and smile to her as she brought the microphone up to her lips while the camera zoom into her as Dakota Winters do the same with Ayu Megumi before Dakota Winters starting shoot the question to the Amazing Girl Ayu Megumi.

Dakota Winters: Okay, hello again everyone and hello New Frontier Wrestling universe! I’m Dakota Winters and here with me is The Amazing Girl Ayu Megumi who recently win against Rylie Page last week at March Mayhem! I want to ask you about how your feeling right now after last week because see the fans really happy that you taking a win in March Mayhem and everyone glad to see you back to action in the ring more in this year! And what is in your mind right now as now we finally get into fourth month of 2024? After you didn’t have match that much as everyone expected to watch your match more than last year.

Ayu Megumi nodded her head to response to answers from Dakota Winters as she still keep huge smile on her face before she thinking about what she will said for a few minutes as she standing there and keep in silence before she decide to break the silence when she know what she will said.

Ayu Megumi: Yeah, yeah I’m glad that I win against Rylie Page I’m really glad that I won back in March Mayhem and I’m happy that I make my fans really happy about the result and my performance I want to see them happy more than that because I won to win another gold in this year! I want to prove myself that I can back to the right track! I want to prove myself as a top roster of New Frontier Wrestling! NFW United States Champion is just beginning of me. I want to say please keep your eyes on me I still say the same that 2024 is my year even right now I didn’t have a match that much but you will see my improvement!! Like I said just you believe you can do everything in this world and when you believe you will have all the trust in this world and I will keep going as keep being myself and walks on my way because I believe just like the words I always said! Believe today, shine tomorrow!

Ayu Megumi end her words before she giving the microphone back to Dakota Winters as Ayu Megumi nodded her head to her before the camera zoom out and the camera slowly fade away.
