NFW Trauma #145 - 04/13/2024!

The arena fades to black and as it does we are treated to the loud sounds of Real Emotion by FamilyJules blasting all across the speakers. We are treated to fog filling the arena that looks like mist and snow flurries begin to fall from the ceiling. As the music picks up we can see two figures emerging through the curtain. Those figures are the Zdunichs. Seleana claps for her wife as Crystal emerges out in blue top with white ruffles on the front and extended down to her knee on the left side. She wears a short, black lace skirt with a white belt. She wears blue glovelets fastened by black straps. She has black ribbons on her upper arms and knee-high brown UGG Style boots with no heel. Crystal smirks as she has a white rose in her hand and she smells it bringing a smile to her face.

Madoka Kawada: Making her way to the ring, being accompanied by Seleana Zdunich…born in Detroit Michigan representing Los Angeles, California…she is “The Winter Rose” Crystal Zdunich!!!


Crystal walks down the aisle all smiles. She claps the hands of the outstretched fans as she stops and hands her white rose to a special little girl in the audience. She finally makes it to the ring where she does a split to enter the ring. She rises back up and blows kisses to all of the fans that are cheering her on. She bounces about as Seleana claps her hands for her wife. Crystal waves her hands running her hands through her long blue hair as she raises the United States Championship high into the air.

Crystal Hilton: What’s happening to all of my Blossoming Roses out there! Can I just say from the bottom of my heart that it feels so amazing to be here right now? I am happy that I have been able to still be a champion and you can rest assured that I am going to do everything in my power to keep this title and defend it with the highest honor.

Crowd: CRYSTAL!
CRYSTAL!
CRYSTAL!

Crystal Hilton: That’s right chant my name. The reason why I am here is because I just want to say that I will always be a fighting champion and my life has gotten so much better. Everything that I thought I had lost I have gotten it all back. I have the beautiful wife in Seleana and I am happy to be a Zdunich, and I have also worked things out with Alexandra and she is proudly right back into our marriage. Life is good. I have two beautiful women, I have the wonderful daughter and I am a champion. It’s just a sign that hard work really pays off if you put a lot into it and I am a hard worker.

Crystal smirks as she continues to raise the championship high into the air as she speaks some more.

Crystal Hilton: Standing before everybody is a champion just adds on to that dream. I know that things might be going crazy with my daughter in-law along with my son Brayden, and they are taking the Hilton name to make it mean something else. That is why I am announcing that as of tonight I am going to leave the name with them. I am happy in my marriage and as of today when it comes to competing in the ring I will be known as Crystal Caldwell-Zdunich. I am loved by two strong women and both of them are supporting me onward to do anything. I didn’t think I would be a champion but I am. The story of the recovering drug addict and alcoholic is making something out of herself within NFW. The little Afro-Mexican girl from the poorest streets of Detroit will be a fighter to the very end. I have a few defenses under me but I will keep on fighting. So NFW bring on all the challengers and Crystal Caldwell-Zdunich will turn all away. Bring them on!!!

With that Crystal raises her title even higher as the fans chant louder as we go elsewhere.
Stefan Robinson was walking down the hallway of the colosseum, heading to the guerilla position to get ready to head out for his match. He nodded at a few of the backstage workers when suddenly he was blindsided. He was suddenly tossed into the hallway wall, slammed against it viciously by the other person. The other man’s face couldn’t be seen by the camera yet, but his build and gear easily gave away who it was, but after a few moments, he turned around, a handful of Stefan’s hair gripped in his hand.

Seth Ernst: That’s Miguel Ortiz! What’s he doing here?!

Miranda Augustino: He’s one of the newest signees to the company, Seth!

Lucas Knox: And it looks like he wants to make a statement by taking out Stefan Robinson!

By this time, security had assembled to try and separate Miguel from Stefan, but he had shoved them away. The scowl on his face was enough to make some of them back up as he lifted Robinson in the air near some equipment crates. He nailed him with a vicious Crucifix Powerbomb onto the crates! With a smirk he looked down at the fallen man as security surrounded him again, calling for medical to come and help.

Seth Ernst: I…don’t think Stefan is going to make it out here for his match against Rylie Page.

Miranda Augustino: I don’t think Stefan is making it anywhere without some help!

Lucas Knox: I’m getting word that Ms. Viskan has said for Miguel to take Stefan’s place in the match, so it looks like we’re going to get a debut tonight!

The scene faded as Miguel walked down the hallway while medical began helping Stefan into a sitting position.
Long before the latest episode Trauma which happens to be the 145th installment. We find Ailyn Darrington and Six Ryan sitting up in the cheap seats observing the setup from Mayhem to Trauma nights before. Ai has an object sitting on her lap in a black velvet bag on the outside the initials B&N WC. Six starts to record her bestie and waves off the NFW production staff.

Six: We got this, boys. We're going to film this Vlog style like we prefer.

The staff nod and go on to their next assignment knowing the teenagers have submitted content before and they know exactly what they're doing.

Six: So, besides that thing in your lap is there anything else you want to talk about, Sis?

Ai's nearly paying attention to Six when it dawns on her what the question was.

Ailyn: Ummm yeah, you all haven't seen me here in NFW because after the disappointment of March Mayhem I requested a week off and Miss Viskan granted my request. And with this borrowed time a few things have changed. I'm not going to talk about the past and only keep moving forward. That's my new outlook on life, there's never a reason to dwell in the past and it starts with this!

She pats the object in her lap and smiles.

Ailyn: Those of you that are my Goofballz I'm sure already know what this bag contains and I couldn't be more excited to share the news with those that aren't my fans.

Ai reaches into the bag and pulls out a sinister looking title belt. You'd swear it was dripping blood if it was collecting on the floor. The Silly Girl gets the cheesiest grin on her face as she sets the bag on the seat next to her. She puts the belt over her shoulder before speaking again.
Ailyn: That's right your girl did it I'm the Blood and Nation World Champion!! And, possibly the youngest Champ in the business. Now, I can't confirm that as a fact before a whole bunch of you come for me saying differently. I can't think of anyone at 18 that has been lucky enough to do this. Just sayin'!!

She holds the strap close to her chest and kisses it before placing the title belt on her lap.

Six: What about your aspirations here, Ai?

Mrs. Darrington's attention quickly goes to her main objective here in NFW.

Ailyn: That's to do another thing no one in my former champ was ever able to do for a multitude of reasons. That's right, myself, Six and my immediate family are no longer aligned with TRIOCS and a new team is being built as we speak with some familiar faces to all of you, tbh. It's going to be The…

Six cuts her off.

Six: Too much too soon, Sis!

Ailyn: You're right I almost did exactly what my husband and parental units asked me not to. So let's talk about this instead? I'm aware it’s still a ways off, but I'm planning on entering and winning the Vlad Blackheart Memorial Tournament so I can continue having and holding top spots in the company's in associated with. So if things seem more intense and a little less silly in the coming months. Just know it's because I'm driven by this and any other gold I can attain.

She stands up and puts the belt on her shoulder.

Ailyn: I love all of you and come join me on the ride to the top?!?

Ai blows a kiss to the camera as the Vlog ends. Six checks the feed and at its highest point nearly 10,000 people were watching Ailyn.
“Classy” Bianca Page walks out of the Influencers’ locker room in her wrestling gear with a confident smile on her face.

”Classy” Bianca Page: Just like each and every night this will be a huge night for the Influencers. As I am sure you all know that Queen B easily takes care of that foolish Darcy’s sidekick, Ciaran Page’s ass in just a little bit. Then I will do away with the dragon in the main event tonight.

Bianca smiles as she stops walking in the hallway with a focused look on her face.

”Classy” Bianca Page: Not just because you are a world renowned wrestler who has done just about anything and I would love the feather in my cap to further my own career, to further what I want to do here in NFW, and get another shot at the NFW Championship but also because what you have cost me, Travis! You cost me a whole hell of a lot! It is because of you and your ego that sent Ryder to the hospital after his match with Kuali’i just about a month ago. Ryder came out of the hospital a changed man. A man for better or worse is not for me to say but what this new version of Ryder questioned if we ever had a true connection. That is on you Travis! So for that I have to take everything you hold near and dear to you in this business. It starts when I knock you off your high horse tonight and restart my ascension to exactly where I should be in NFW. Which is on top of Trauma with the rest of the Influencers!

An angry Bianca walks away.


The cameras open up on the face of the Queen herself and the current Genesis Champion, Bianca Davis, sitting on her lavish throne. The fans, of course, greet the haughty and pompous Queen with loud boos, upset with her recent actions even more than usual. Her million-dollar smile lights up the room; standing next to her is her head of security, Tasha Jackson, and on the other side of the throne is none other than Simple Simon. He is already polishing the Queen's belt, ensuring no blemish on the face plate. Then, checking the sides of the strap, as the vain woman was dressed to compete in her lavish ring gear over it, is her entrance robe and a giant crown sitting upon her head. As the demanding woman soon snaps her fingers and the belt is handed to her, she takes a moment to gaze at her reflection shining through the title; her smile grows even bigger. She soon takes the title and shows it off the camera for a bit longer before speaking in her trademark smug tone.

Queen Bianca Davis: Do you people know what a true champion is supposed to be like? Do you think it’s someone like Travis Levitt or Stacy Jones?

The fans let out audible cheers, as the Queen scoffs smugly as if she can hear their response.

Queen Bianca Davis: If you think that, then you are wrong a true champion is someone with grace, someone with class, someone with beauty, intelligence, and the woman with the fastest title defense in Genises Championship history, and you know who represents all of that? That would be me. Your Queen, your sovereign, the most illustrious and wise champion of all NFW. You may now worship me.

Bianca says with a giant smirk on her face; though the fans naturally greet this declaration with loud boos, she maintains her smile. As she crosses her leg over the other, the arrogant blonde soon speaks in the same regal posh tone.

Queen Bianca Davis: Darcey Graves, you made a classic blunder you thought you could act toward royalty any way you wanted without consequences? Your father should have taught you better than that; he should have taught you actions have consequences. You interrupted the Duches's birthday celebration, and well, your consequence was that beating. Now, You know you will never have a shot at the title on my shoulder, that you’re now out of my hair and out of my life. I also showed the general manager the error of her ways trying to force you into a match you don’t deserve with me. You don’t deserve to be in the ring with true divinity.

Bianca smirked, looking into the camera. She took out a small compact to maintain a look at her reflection. Liking what she saw, she blew herself a kiss. Before handing it down to another attendant who comes into view quickly before making himself scarce.

Queen Bianca Davis: Ciarran, not only will be a failure of a father that he already is, but be a failure in the ring against the Queen of all NFW. Its why this match is nontitle, like you, your old man, is also undeserving tonight t,you will get a live demonstration. I hear you’re not in the building tonight, but this is for you; I am dedicating this match to you, and th rest of your insignificant family. After all, it's closest to being a champion any one of them will ever be.

Bianca blows a kiss toward the camera and the Graves family as she does her haughty wave. Simon raises her title high in the air for her, and the scene then fades to black. The last image on the screen is Bianca and her entourage smugly smiling.
Backstage the cameras catch up to Orphynn who is lacing her boots making final preparations before her match against Morganna Bilson tonight.

Orphynn: There's something very special that happens when anybody steps into the ring against me. The whole world heard me speaking to Jimmy Bones challenging him to a match that was granted at March Mayhem two weeks ago. Now, the fans of NFW see what I saw in him and he's much better since then.

Finishing up her lacing, Orphynn gives her full attention.

Orphynn: I'm not saying my talents in the ring are special, because there is a wealth of unique and talented wrestlers in NFW. I just have the ability to show the best in each of them from the biggest to the smallest in this industry. Jimmy, you are on your way to greatness and another future match with me. Tonight, we'll see what happens when I face Morganna Bilson, my biggest challenge yet in this company. Morganna, the better wrestler will win tonight and if it's you, then just like Jimmy, I'll have much to learn tonight. If it's me who wins, though, you'll learn what it means to be Annihilated. Regardless of who gets the victory tonight, Morganna, it's your turn for me to bring out the best in you tonight. It's an honor for me to do so as it's an honor for me to be signed to face you tonight.

Orphynn smiles as she gets up to leave, but she turns to the camera one last time before doing so.

Orphynn: And Morganna... Best of luck to you. Much love and respect too.

With that Orphynn walks out of the room.
The camera pans around the ring side arena as the fans are still sitting in their seats. But that soon ended when “Battlefield” by Peyton Parrish hit the PA system and the ground stood up to their feet as they started to cheer.

Nakita comes out as she looks at the fans who start to cheer louder and louder. The lights flash red, white, and blue. She’s wearing a white one piece top, black and pink camo pants, black combat boots, and black and pink camo military jacket. Her eyes continued to stay on the fans as she gave them a salute. He starts to walk off the stage and downs the ramp. She stops in the middle of it and turns around where there is an American eagle symbol with “Niles” written in the middle of it. She points at it before turning back and heading to the steel step and climbing them. She walks alongside the ring before entering it. She walks towards the side and grabs a mic as the music fades.

NAKITA NILES: WHAT’S UP CHICAGO?

The Chicago fans cheer loud as she tries to hear them.

NAKITA NILES: I CAN’T HEAR YOU! I SAID, WHAT’S UP CHICAGO?!?

They went as loud as they could as Nakita gave off a slight little smile. That was something that she was expecting more of from the great crowd.

NAKITA NILES: That’s the sound I was hoping for? How are you guys doing tonight? Are you enjoying the show so far? Cause I know I am. I mean, sure, I’m not booked, but that doesn’t stop me from coming out and talking to all you people in this great city. It’s time to get to business and that business was from last week when I beat Ryder. I have to say, it feels good to get back to winning again. I said it last week that I hated what I say and decided to go back to the roots where I knew I was successful.

She starts to think about her next words as carefully as she could.

NAKITA NILES: But this time, it’s time to be more serious and that’s calling anyone in the back to a fight next week. That’s right, I don’t care who is in the back. I don’t care if they’re in Zion, NFW, Shine, or any wrestling company out there that’s making it big. I WANT TO FIGHT! So, next week, I’m putting an open challenge up to anyone that wants to fight. I don’t care what kind of match it is.

She looks at the back and points at it. The mic was still up to her mouth and spoke.

NAKITA NILES: Management, you know me and know what I can do. Let me have this moment. Book me against anyone that wants to fight. Be it Rylie, Stacey, Vanessa, Jimmy Bones, anyone in the back.

She lowered her hand as she took a moment to breathe and looked back at the crowd with a smile.

NAKITA NILES: But now that is over, I wanted to talk to you about things that’s going on in my life right now. Right now, there’s nothing going on with me. I workout day and night to prepare for the week to be in front of you guys. Without you guys DMing me and talking about me in a positive manner on social media. That’s what makes me do this week in and week out. You guys helped me get back to who I was and told me that they missed the old Nakita. I wasn’t sure what to think when I changed who I was. But as I stand here in front of all you people in Chicago, I know this military is who I am. No gimmick, no smoke and mirrors, just me.

She looked at the back once again and smiled.

NAKITA NILES: And I dare anyone in the back if they have a problem with that.

OOH-RAH!

FANS: OOH-RAH!

She gets a smile on her face as she backs away from the ropes as “Battlefield” blast over the pa system. She stands in the middle of the ring and salutes the fans. She then drops the mic and heads out of the ring. She walks up the ramp and gets on the stage as the scene fades to a commercial.
Cameras cut away to the backstage area as the fans in the arena get hyped for Trauma’s main event. Dakota Winters is standing by, microphone in hand.

Dakota Winters: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the reigning NFW Champion, Damon Cross!

Walking into view, the Godkiller looks a little worse for wear, a testament to a rough week in and out of the ring last week. Doesn’t stop the man from looking like a cool million, though, in a black pinstripe suit with a white tie and a similar white band around his fedora. Title over his shoulder and cane in hand, Cross walks up to Dakota and politely nods as the lady poses her question.

Dakota Winters: Damon, you righted what some would consider long-standing wrongs when you defeated Kai Morgan in a Death by 10,000 Tacks Match at March Mayhem to retain the NFW Championship. But things took a turn this past week by all indicators, starting with a burglary attempt at your home and followed by a tough loss to XHW’s Spencer Adams in pursuit of their Pride Championship-

Damon’s jaw sets slightly and his knuckles whiten a bit upon the hand that holds the title, but he says nothing. Dakota senses the tension and gets to the point.

Dakota Winters: -and the question everyone wants answered is this: what’s next for you here in NFW?

Damon Cross: What indeed.

The champion responds quietly, taking a moment to ruminate after before answering appropriately.

Damon Cross: Now the burden is on LeeAnn Viskan to find my next opponent for this championship. I don’t envy her that task, Dakota. Do you know why that is?

Dakota Winters: Why is that?

Damon Cross: Because the pressure is unimaginable. Not only does she have to find someone who isn’t an insult to my status and ability, but they have to prove their own prowess mentally and physically next to mine. If she sends some poor, unprepared fool into the ring against me, I’m going to embarrass them to the point where they’ll never want to set foot in a ring again, and thus the roster diminishes. If that opponent thinks too highly of themselves, I’ll crush them under the weight of their own ego, and the same detriment to the company looms.

Dakota Winters: Strong words, champ.

Damon Cross: The truth is usually like that. I have no doubts, though, that LeeAnn Viskan will make a thoughtful, inspired choice. When all is said and done, though? I’m going to do to them what I’ve done to Stacy Jones, Bianca Page, Kai Morgan, and many others-

Damons pause is quickly explained, his eyes flickering off-screen and after a moment into the shot steps ‘The Dragon’ Travis Levitt! The Dragon stares at Cross for a long moment, the two men staring each other down before Travis reaches up, casually patting the title belt over the shoulder of Cross and giving him a simple nod.

Travis Levitt: I’m coming for that.

And as simple as he walked into the scene, Travis backs up and steps away, turning to leave and heading for the ring himself. Damon stares calmly after him, then takes the kerchief out of his breast pocket, wiping the title off a little before turning and walking away.
