NFW Presents: MANIFEST DESTINY V! 05/25/2024!

It was time for the opening contest, and it was a match that was going to put Nakita Niles and Harlow Prince in a one-on-one contest. The camera goes back to Trauma and sees Nakita is about to put the final nail in the coffin of River Chance, but Harlow comes behind her and hits her with a Bell Mallet.

Miranda Augustino: Ladies and gents, this match may have been made last week, but this will be a fight.

Seth Ernst: As you all saw, Harlow hit Nikita in the back with a mallet and caused Nikita to win via disqualification. That’s not something Nikita wanted.

Lucas Knox: And in a few minutes, she’s going to get a chance to pay her back for what she did.

Isabella Salvatore: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. The only way to win this match is by pinfall or submission.


Isabella Salvatore: Introducing first, being accompanied by RHUS! SHE HAILS FROM BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS! SHE IS THE PRINCESS OF CHAOS…SHE IS HARLOW PRINCE!

As the early beats of "Seven Wonders" begin, the lights dim, and small white lights dot the arena. A spotlight centers on the top of the ramp as Harlow Prince comes out, smiling and spinning around. As the music continues playing, she makes her way to the ring, ignoring the crowd and rolling her eyes at them. She hops up on the apron and poses against the ropes before ducking through them, climbing the turnbuckle, and raising her fist to the sky before dropping. She looks at the stage and smiles.

Miranda Augustino: Harlow seems so proud of herself, doesn’t she?

Seth Ernst: You would be too.

Lucas Knox: What she did to Nakita was disgusting. I hope Nikita beats her.


Isabella Salvatore: And her opponent, she hails from Cobb County, Georgia. Representing the QUEENS OF CHAOS! She is NIKITA LINES.

The camera pans around the arena as the lights go out. That's when "Battlefield" by Peyton Parrish blasts through the P. A system. The lights come on as a mixture of red, white, and blue light starts to flicker around the arena. That's when Nakita Niles comes out wearing a pink cameo jacket, pink camouflage pants, a pink cameo top, pink and black cameo stripes going down her right eye, and black military boots.


She looks at the fans and gives them a salute. She then lowers her hand as she starts to walk down the ramp. While she was on the ramp, she slapped the hands of the fans before stopping at the end of it. She takes a moment to breathe.


She looks up at the ceiling and points up to the sky. Almost like she was saying something, but you couldn't understand the sounds of the music playing. She lowers her arm and walks towards the steel steps. She then walks up and moves along the edge before entering the ring. She went towards the turnbuckle and clapped her hands. She takes off her pink camouflage jacket and tosses it outside. You see her wearing pink camo wristbands with red, white, and blue strings on her wrist.


She then looks up at the ceiling again and points up before lowering and pointing at the cheering fans. She then drops as her music fades. She looks at Harlow as Harlow looks back at her. The ref looks at both women and tells them to get into their corners. Nikita agrees as Harlow is mouthing off at Nakita before she finally does.
Miranda Augustino: Time to see what these two are made of.

Seth Ernst: LET’S GET IT ON!

Lucas Knox: LET’S GO, NIKITA!

The two get in the center of the ring as Harlow smiles up at Nakita. She takes her hands up and flicks her forehead. Nikita wasn’t happy about that and that made her take Harlow down with a double-leg takedown. She starts to hit a series of punches to the side of her head which Harlow tries to block. Nakita stands up and grabs Harlow by the hair and brings her to the corner. She starts to hit a series of Mai Thai knee strikes to the gut of Harlow. Harlow falls into the crowd as Nikita runs to the other side of the ring and comes back to hit Harlow with a front dropkick to her face. She pulls her in and covers her.

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT!

Nikita picks her up and throws her to the outside where Harlow lands on the side of the ring. She grabs Nikita's head and takes her down with a guillotine. Nikita holds her throat as Harlow looks at the crowd and gets back in the ring. She picks up Nikita on one knee and slaps her in the face. Nikita holds her cheek and that is when Harlow grabs her head and spikes her head first with a DDT and covers her.

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT!

Nikita holds her head as Harlow stands up and spreads her arms while looking at the crowd. Nikita slowly stands up as Harlow turns around and comes in with a huge dropkick to the side of her face and smiles.

Miranda Augustino: Nikita has never faced someone like Harlow. She had momentum at the beginning, but that quickly changed.

Seth Ernst: Funny story that this is Harlow's first pay-per-view.

Harlow grabs Nikita and lifts her, but as Nakita gets up, she picks up Harlow and hits her with a 180 spine buster. Harlow holds her back as she rolls out of the ring. Rhys comes near Harlow as he is trying to get motivated to get back up. Nakita stood up and saw Harlow, who was standing up as well. She hits the ropes and comes in with a suicide dive. Rhys was able to move out of the way as Harlow slammed back first into the announcer's table. Nakita stands up and grabs her by the hair. She brings her into the ring and climbs up the ringside. She moves towards the corner, climbs up, jumps off, hits a huge diving moonstone, and goes for the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

THRE-!

KICKOUT!

Nakita gets up to her knees as she shakes her head. She stood up and grabbed Harlow by the hair. She whips her into the corner and charges after her, but Harlow brings her boots up and hits Nikita in the face. Nikita turns as Harlow comes in and hits a chopstick to the back of her leg. Nikita goes down and Harlow comes in front of her and hits a huge roundhouse kick to the side of her head. Nikita falls as Harlow looks at the crowd and gets a smile on her face. She moves towards the corner as Nikita slowly gets up. She turns around as Harlow comes in and hits a huge spear that nearly breaks Nikita in half. She gets on top of her and covers her.

ONE!

TWO

THRE-

KICKOUT!

But at the last second, Nikita gets her shoulder up as Harlow looks at the ref, who can’t even believe it. She stands up and climbs the turnbuckle. She looks down at Nakita and yells at her to get up. Nikita does that as Harlow jumps off and hits a huge dropkick that sends Nikita out to the ringside. Harlow gets out of the ring and goes right after Nikita. Rhys looks from a distance and gets a smile on his face. Harlow picks up Nakita and rams her shoulder first into the steel steps. Nakita holds her shoulder as her butt is now sitting on the ground at ringside. Harlow charges at her with a knee strike, but Nakita sees it coming. Harlow's knee hits the steel steps. Nakita holds her shoulder still. She gets up slowly and tries to get her shoulder back in order. The ref starts to count.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

Nakita rests against the crowd barricade as she takes a breather.

Miranda Augustino: Nakita seems to be babying that shoulder.

Seth Ernst: Being whipped into the steel steps would do that to you.

Lucas Knox: But even in pain, Nakita can get back into it. Which means that you should never count Nakita out.

She holds her shoulder some more as Harlow is holding her knee.

FIVE!

SIX!

SEVEN!

Nakita gets inside the ring and rests her back against the corner as Harlow slowly gets up.


As the ten counts came up, Harlow was able to get in the ring. She stands up and looks at Nakita as she screams at her. Nakita moves away from the corner as she moves forward, but Harlow comes in and hits Nakita with another spear, Nakita can counter it and Harlow goes shoulder-first into the steel post. Nakita pulls her back and puts her in a cobra clutch before throwing her back with a release suplex that’s called SEAL OF APPROVAL! Harlow is down on the ground as Nakita stands up and moves back to the corner.

Miranda Augustino: From that knee to the steel steps, Harlow hasn’t been able to get anything going.

Seth Ernst: Nakita has always been the type to not let a grudge go. And that Cobra Clutch release suplex was adopted by Chris Matthews; her trainer and mentor.

Lucas Knox: Who is also a member of The Wolves of Odinn, Seth.

Rhys gets on the side of the ring and starts to argue with the ref. The ref tells him to get down as he does. Harlow stands up as the ref turns. Nakita runs at her with a spear, but she moves out of the way and hits the ref. Nakita's eyes widened and that’s when Rhys came in and stood behind Nakita. Nakita stands up as Harlow hides behind him. She turns around as Nakita looks at the man in the eyes and isn't afraid. He takes off his vest as Nakita yells back at him.

Miranda Augustino: Here we go, ladies and gentlemen. This is about to get nasty.

Seth Ernst: THIS IS A MOMENT THAT PEOPLE WILL TALK ABOUT FOR YEARS!

Lukas just stares in the ring and doesn’t bother to say a word. This was unexpected. Rhys comes close as does Nakita. He goes to hit Nakita with a right hand, but Nakita ducks and hits a huge spinning kick to the side of his jaw, forcing him out of the ring. Harlow looks at Nakita and comes at her and starts to hit her with a series of punches to her face. The anger on her face tells it all. After hitting her with punches, she stood up and hit a series of stomps on her gut.

Miranda Augustino: Harlow is now pissed off at Nakita, and who can blame her?

Seth Ernst: Nobody can, Miranda.

Lucas Knox: This isn’t good for Nakita.

Harlow picks her up and whips her into the corner. She rushes forward and hits a shining wizard in her jaw. She keeps her there for a few seconds before pulling her out. Nakita was still standing up as Harlow climbed up the turnbuckle. She looks down and jumps off hitting the Meteora. She looks at the fans as she singles for the end. She grabs Nakita and puts her between her legs, lifts her, and hits her Hellfire just as the ref gets up. Harlow covers her as the referee counts.


At the last second, Nakita was able to kick out as Harlow looked at the ref who was still woozy from the spear that happened to him. He is still not up and that’s when Harlow gets out of the ring and goes to the ring mallet. She gets to the corner of the crowd barricade. She lifts it to show the crowd. Nakita gets out of the ring slowly, still hurt. Harlow turns around as Nakita comes charging in and spears her through the crowd barricade. The fans go crazy as both wrestlers are down on the ground. The Mallet lies on the ground between the two. Nakita slowly crawled away as she was getting to the ring. The ref is still down as Rhys comes close and picks up Nakita. The ref gets up slowly, but Rhys hits a powerbomb that sends Nakita through the table. Nakita is down on the ground as Harlow starts to move.

Miranda Augustino: OH MY GOD! RHYS JUST POWERBOMB NAKITA THROUGH OUR TABLE!

Seth Ernst: And the ref didn’t even see it.

Lucas Knox: THIS ISN’T GOOD!

Harlow smiles as she stands up and enters the ring. She picks up the ref and tells him to count as he does.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Nakita wasn't moving as the fans were booing loudly. Harlow lay against the corner as she was laughing.


Rhys starts to move away as his eyes focus on Harlow who was happy with what happened.


But Nakita started to move slowly. She gets away from the table and begins to crawl towards the ring. The pain on her face is there, but she wasn’t going to let that keep her down.

EIGHT!

NINE!

But Nakita gets up and enters the ring as Harlow puts her hand on her head. She can’t believe it. She moves towards her and grabs her by the hair, but out of nowhere, Nakita picks her up and drops her with Semper Fi, but doesn't have enough strength to cover her. The ref looks at both superstars as he starts to count.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

FIVE!

Harlow and Nakita start to move slowly as they both get to the ropes.


Both grab the ropes and stand up. They both walked backwards and hit back to back. Both turn as Harlow goes for a hard right hook, but Nakita ducks and once again hits her Semper Fi. This time she was able to cover her and hook the leg.

ONE!

TWO!

THRE-!

KICKOUT!

At the last second, Harlow was able to kickout. Rhys lowered his head as he couldn’t believe it. He slaps the ringside to tell Harlow to get up and she does. She slowly gets up as does Nakita. Harlow moves in quickly and locks in Wheels of fate. She starts to wrench back. The ref asks Nakita if she wants to quit and she screams out no. Harlow wrenches hard, which Nakita was able to roll back as she was now pinning Harlow.

ONE!

TWO!

THRE-!

But Harlow moves back and is now back on top of Nakita with her Wheel of fate submission. Nakita was able to move her body and put her foot on the ropes which forced Harlow to let go of her submission. She stands up and hits the ref hard, taking him out. Harlow put her hand through her hair as she started to scream. Rhys throws in the mallet as she yells at Nakita to get up. She does and that when she turns around as Harlow comes in the mallet. As she comes in close, Nakita picks her up and takes her down with a 180 spinebuster. Nakita slowly moves towards the ropes and slips out of the ring. She was near the ring apron with her hand under it. She slowly stands up and enters the ring. Rhys comes in as Nakita stands up and as he was coming after her, she was able to take him down with a huge spear thus ending him from interfering in this match again.

Miranda Augustino: I think it’s safe to say that Rhys is not an issue in this match anymore.

Seth Ernst: This match was a handicap the entire time. Now, it’s a one on one match.

Lucas Knox: THE HEART OF WARRIOR! CAN SHE DO THIS? LET’S GO NAKITA!

Nakita rests her back against the corner as Harlow gets up. Harlow stands up before slowly turning and when Nakita comes in with a huge superkick to her chin. Harlow is stunned as Nakita hits her Semper Fi in the middle of the ring. She covers Harlow, but there is no ref.

Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!

Then a ref comes charging down from the back and slides in the ring and makes the count.

ONE!

TWO!

THRE-!

KICKOUT!

Harlow was able to kickout at the very last second. The crowd starts to chant for this match.

Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME!

Miranda Augustino: These two are near the end.

Seth Ernst: People will do whatever it takes to win, Miranda. They will leave everything they have in order to win.

Nakita gets up and holds her stomach. She turns around and grabs Harlow by the hair and brings her to the corner and hits a back elbow. She picks her up and sits her on the top rope. She hits a hard right hand to her face. She climbs up and looks at the crowd. She puts Harlow's arm around her head, but Harlow hits her a few times in the gut before pushing her off. Nakita hits the mat back first and that’s when Harlow stands up. Nakita stands up slowly and turns around. She jumps off to hit a forearm strike from the top rope, but Nakita moves out of the way. Harlow hits the mat hard as Nakita picks her up and hits a single double underhook DDT. Which in turn, had Nakita locks in the Semper Gumby chokehold in the middle of the ring. Harlow starts to move her body as the ref is asking if she quit. She continues to fight it as Nakita wrenches harder. Harlow tried to grab the rope, but her arm was too short. She lifts her hand up to signal that she was to tap, but she continues to fight. She fights to her feet and lays down a series of punches to the face of Nakita who eventually lets it go.

Miranda Augustino: Back and forth these ladies are giving. There is nothing quite like it.

Seth Ernst: Harlow almost tapped, but she was able to fight it. What will it takes to keep on of these superstars down?

Lucas Knox: Hard to tell, Seth. Both wants that win.

Nakita and Harlow get up and look at each other. Both looking to get an edge in this match. Nakita charged at her as did Harlow. Harlow was going for another spear, but Nakita jumps out of the way and lands on her feet. Harlow turns around as Nakita comes in and hits her with her own spear. She quickly picks her up and sets her up for her Semper Fi, but Harlow elbows her in the side of the head. Nakita lets go of the hold. She turns around as Harlow kicks her in the gut and puts her under her legs. She picks her up for the HellFire. She lifts her up, but with whatever energy Nakita has, she rolls her back on her shoulder and lands behind her. She was able to hits her with a Double knee backbreaker. Harlow is down and Nakita stands up quickly. With one last bit of energy that she has, she picks up Harlow and hits Semper Fi and hooks the legs.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Isabella Salvatore: Here is your winner, by way of pinfall…NAKITA NILES!

Nakita gets up as her hand is raised in the air. Nakita breathes heavily as the crowd goes nuts and celebrates.

Lucas Knox: YES! YES! YES! SHE HAS DONE IT!

Miranda Augustino: Calm down, Lucas. Both superstars have nothing to be ashamed of in this match.

Seth Ernst: You’re right. Miranda. Both superstars have set something high. But can the other matches live up to something like this? We shall see.

Nakita gets a smile on her face as "Battlefield" blasts throughout the P.A system. She moves towards the corner and points at the fans as they continue to go nuts. She gets off the corner and heads out of the ring as ref checks up on Harlow. Rhys comes in and checks up on Harlow also. Nakita walks up the ramp and gets on the stage as she walks backstage.

Isabella Salvatore: Our second contest for Manifest Destiny V is a singles match. Coming to the ring first, hailing from Brooklyn, New York, and standing at six feet and one hundred forty-three pounds… TERESA MORGAN!!

Silver and light purple lights flash throughout the arena as “Unconditionally” begins playing over the sound system. As soon as Katy Perry sings the word “Unconditional”, Teresa Morgan comes out from the back with a huge smile on her face. The crowd erupts in cheers upon seeing her, and she starts making her way down the ramp. As she passes by the fans, she gives as many of them high fives and hugs as she can, taking a couple of pictures with kids that ask her to do so. Once she reaches the ring, Teresa slips between the ropes and throws her fist into the air for a few seconds before going to her corner to wait for the match to get underway.

Isabella Salvatore: And her opponent, hailing from Los Angeles, California and standing at five feet, nine inches and one hundred sixty pounds… she is the Favored of the Goddess… LANA CORVIN!!

The arena lights slowly fade out. Throughout the arena cell phone lights sporadically pop up in the darkness. The arena was suddenly filled with the loud cawing of a single crow. After a few moments, it was joined by another. Then more and more join in. Before long the arena was filled with the sound of cawing crows. The cawing was replaced with a multitude of beating wings. The sound of a large group of birds flying rises to a peak and then slowly fades out. Once again in silence, the arena is filled with the voice of a young girl.

Then Stabbing Westward’s cover of “Burn” starts to play throughout the arena. A spotlight finds Lana Corvin standing at the top of the ramp. Her head is down hiding her face. She throws her head back and her arms out. As she does the arena lights snap back on. Lana stands there with her head back just reveling in the negative reaction from the crowd. Slowly she lowers her head and looks right into the camera with a smirk. She points at herself arrogantly. Her gear tonight was black, white, and gold. She strolled down the ramp like she owned the place. She even heckled the occasional fan.


She starts to strut her way toward the ring as the lights raise and the song continues. She talks some smack with some of the more vocal and heckling members of the crowd. She returns all of their verbal jabs as only one of the Corvins can. She continues her mocking of the crowd by pointing to herself and then to the crowd in sync with the lyrics. She climbs the ring steps and then into the ring. She circles around glaring out at the crowd and talking more trash. She then runs to one set up the ropes and stands up on them raising an arm high. She jumps down and moves to her corner to wait for the match to start.

The referee pats both women down. From her corner, Lana glares menacingly at Teresa. Morgan seems mostly unbothered by this.
The bell rings and both women rocket out of their corners. The collide fiercely, trading forearm smashes and chops across the chest. Lana quickly gains the advantage, stomping on Teresa’s foot. When Morgan cries out, Lana punches her in the mouth. Teresa flails back, checking her feet to make sure they aren’t broken. The good news is they aren’t. The bad news is Lana grabs Teresa by the back of the hair and yanks her back to the mat.

The referee scolds about hair pulling. Lana argues with him while slyly stomping onto Teresa’s throat, pressing her weight down for a choke. They exchange shouts before Teresa grabs hold of Lana’s foot and twists, shoving her attacker off of her.

But Teresa doesn’t release the foot, instead yanking the shorter bully’s limb up and kicking and stomping her repeatedly in the thigh. Hauling back once more, Teresa kicks Lana in the back of the knee. As Lana rolls onto her back, clutching her leg, Teresa whips herself backwards into the ropes, bounding off of them and returning to slam her on knee in Lana’s face just as she sits up. The Goddess’s Preferred is promptly laid out.

Teresa drops across her for a matchbook pin but Lana bucks out before even one, rolling on her side towards the ropes. Teresa lunges at her with an elbow drop to keep her from reaching that safety, hitting Lana in the chest.

Teresa grabs Lana under her arms and drags her back to the center of the ring. She wraps an arm under Lana’s lower jaw while bracing her other arm behind Lana’s head. Then, Teresa begins a combo of a sleeper hold and miserable head cranks and neck twists, yanking Lana around.

Lana slowly pushes up to her feet, jabbing her elbow behind her repeatedly. Teresa takes the hits but refuses to release. Then, Lana manages to pull Teresa over, flipping her and dropping Morgan on her ass. Lana retaliates with multiple kicks to the back of Teresa’s head, before sending one into her face. As Morgan splays out on the canvas, Corvin grinds her heels into her eyes.

As Teresa flails on the mat, Lana rushes to the closer corner and climbs it. She leaps off in a shooting star press but at the last moment possible, Teresa pushes herself backwards in a handstand and lets Lana slam to the mat. Then, Teresa drops across her and raises a leg in an unconventional pin.


Lana raises a shoulder, then begins pounding on Teresa’s skull like she’s trying to get the prize out of a stubborn Kinder egg. Teresa pulls away and then yanks Lana up by the arm. She attempts to whip Corvin but Lana manages to reverse it and send Teresa to the ropes. On her return, Teresa attempts a step-up enzuigiri but Lana yanks her head out of kicking range – instead grabbing Teresa by the legs and dumping her backwards. Morgan spills to the mat as Lana throws herself backwards into the ropes, jumping down at Teresa to aim a falling fist between her eyes.

But Morgan barely manages to roll away. Lana punches canvas and plywood before swearing loudly and clutching her wrist. Teresa pops up and begins delivering kicks and punches. Lana manages to block most of them. Lana manages to catch one of Teresa’s punches and use the arm to sling her into a corner. The second Morgan’s back hits the turnbuckles. Lana rams into her with a knee strike. Deciding that wasn’t enough, Lana grabs the top ropes and hoists herself up before bringing her feet down into Teresa’s face.

Lana grabs Teresa by the sides of her head and yanks her up. She slings Teresa towards the opposite corner, but also places a leg between Teresa’s to make sure she trips and face plants. Grabbing Teresa around the waist, Lana delivers a release German suplex that makes her collide backwards into the corner she just left. Lana grabs her by the ankles and yanks her to the center of the ring before pinning her.


Lana angrily pounds the mat before standing. She pulls Teresa up and hurls her at the ropes. Morgan hits them ans rolls over the top rope, landing groggily on the ring skirt. Lana runs at her, launching in a missile dropkick, but Teresa grabs the middle rope and drops off the ring skirt. Lana soars through the ropes, clattering against the barricade. Teresa pulls herself back up onto the skirt, then propels herself up and backwards in an asai moonsault. Lana gets up just in time to have the move lay her out.

Morgan grabs Lana by the back of her head and slams her face into a ring post. Lana stumbles but Teresa refuses to release her, instead discus spinning and slinging her all the way into the next ring post. Her face hits the metal. She starts to pull away, but Teresa dropkicks her right back into the post. She grabs Lana by the back of her gear and sends her back into the ring. As Lana rolls, Teresa climbs up on top of the ring post and delivers a diving leg drop across her chest. As soon as they collide, Teresa attempts the pin.


Lana arches out of the pin. Teresa doesn’t attempt to hide her annoyance. Instead, she pulls Lana up and whips her to the ropes, intercepting her on the return with a big boot. As soon as Lana falls to the mat, Teresa sets onto her with an ankle lock. The referee checks for submission but gets vigorous, “No!” over and over and Lana manages to claw along the mat, pulling Teresa with her to the ropes. Instead of letting Corvin reach them, Morgan releases the hold and grabs Lana by the head. She starts to pull her up but Corvin cheap shots her with an elbow before snapmaring her over.

Lana puts some distance between herself and Teresa, trying to recover a bit. Teresa slowly pulls herself up and sets her gaze on Lana. Morgan bolts at the woman, attempting to catch her off guard.

Instead, Lana races towards Teresa, clotheslining her onto her back. The Goddess’s Favored doesn’t stop running to the corner and up the turnbuckles. She explodes off the top of the ring post with her signature, Goddess’s Favor. And the Goddess certainly shows her favor as the double jump moonsault crushes Teresa beneath her. She looks attempts to pin Teresa but Morgan reaches down deep and puts all her strength in forcing Lana off of her.

Lana gets up, pulling Teresa with her. Teresa knocks Lana’s hand away, taking a swing at her. Corvin blocks it and returns with a roundhouse kick that seems to knock the last of Teresa’s sense from her. Morgan’s knees bend in slightly and she looks ready to topple. Lana aims one more kick at her opponent.

Lana’s boot sinks into Teresa’s midsection, folding her over. Lacing her arms around Teresa’s, the Goddess’s Favored one lifts her over and drops her in her angel wings finisher, The Glorifier. Morgan clatters to the mat and Lana promptly slides atop her, lifting a leg for a pin.

Isabella Salvatore: Your winner by pinfall… LANA CORVIN!!

The fans erupt into rauckous boos at the pin, not that Lana cares. She rises, allowed the referee to raise her arm, before sauntering around the ring, waving to the attendees. When she notices Teresa stirring, she returns to the defeated fighter and straddles her. Bending down, Lana cups Teresa’s face in a tight squeeze and sneers at her.

Lana Corvin: You failed your fans. You failed Adrianna. You failed yourself.

Teresa stares up hatefully as Lana cackles. The victor turns and leaves the ring as Teresa pulls herself to her feet. She walks to the ropes and watches Lana leave the arena with the victory, trying to decide what’s next.

Result: Pinfall (via Glorifier)

”Low Key” Wesley Carlo and “Big Bag” Romeo Travar fight with DJ Hunter and Dylan Maverick right out of the entryway, neither team bothering to wait for any entrance music to play or for an announcement to be made. Wesley and DJ start fighting to the left, Romeo and Dylan start fighting to the right. Wesley drags DJ towards the barricade. Wesley bounces him off the ring steps and watches as DJ staggers back from the impact. Wesley hits a lariat that sends DJ over the barricade into the crowd. Wesley nods, holding his arms above his head in triumph. Romeo bounces Dylan off the barricade and watches as he staggers down along it towards the ring. Romeo runs up and gets a flying knee to the back of Dylan. Dylan goes down hard and Romeo drops a knee to his back.

Seth Ernst: What are they doing?

Miranda Augustino: Whatever they want, it appears.

Lucas Knox: This isn’t even a match so far, it's just a fight.

Seth Ernst: Fight? This is a mugging!

Miranda Augustino: Neither team was willing to wait…

Lucas Knox: And it looks like the Phantom Troupe is paying the price for their impatience.

Wesley climbs up onto the barricade. The crowd starts to move as DJ staggers up to his feet. Wesley jumps and catches DJ for a flying bulldog onto the floor between the chairs. DJ hits hard and Wesley staggers up as the crowd goes crazy over what they’ve just seen.

Crowd: HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!!

Wesley gets to his feet and looks over towards DJ with bad intentions in his mind and malevolence in his heart. DJ gets up to all fours and Wesley nods as he glowers at his prey. DJ starts to crawl, seemingly looking to regain his bearings again after getting splattered on the floor. He crawls another pace away, leaving a trail of blood as he goes. Wesley runs up behind the slowly crawling man and grabs him from behind. Wesley runs DJ into the back wall head first. Wesley backs off as DJ starts to wobble like he’s been shot. Wesley runs up behind him and hits a stiff knee strike to the back of the head. DJ flops forward and collapses to the floor.

Seth Ernst: Good God! DJ Hunter never saw that coming at all!

Miranda Augustino: Efficiency seems to have had a method to their madness in this tonight.

Lucas Knox: Divide and conquer?

Seth Ernst: It sure looks like that’s their gameplan!

Miranda Augustino: It’s working so far.

Lucas Knox: Now they just have to finish it off.

Romeo grabs Dylan and takes him to the edge of the ring. He looks to bounce Dylan off the edge but Dylan spins and redirects so that Romeo bounces face first off the ringpost. Romeo staggers around the corner, clutching at his face. Dylan watches him stagger away and starts to wave at the crowd with both arms to get up for this. Romeo starts to walk and Dyland marches after him in hot pursuit. Dylan comes up on him and Romeo punches him in the mouth. Dylan recoils, the impact catching him off guard. Romeo goes to swing for a second but Dylan gets his arm up to block. Dylan fires back and now its Romeo’s turn to recoil from the shock of the surprise impact. He fires back. Dylan eats it and throws another. The two men start trading shots as the crowd cheers the fight on, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan.

Seth Ernst: This one isn’t going as well as the other fight…

Miranda Augustino: The crowd’s loving this.

Lucas Knox: Of course they are, it’s carnage and insanity!

Seth Ernst: How long can they keep this up?

Miranda Augustino: Depends on how long it takes for Wesley to come back into the fight.

Lucas Knox: Dylan better hope that takes longer than a few minutes.

Dylan spins into a discus lariat that puts Romeo on his ass on the floor. The crowd cheers wildly as Dylan starts to sit up while Romeo lies on the floor. Dylan waves at the crowd, getting more and more pumped himself with every gesture. He reaches down to grab Romeo and pulls him back to his feet. Roman separates Dyl;and’s hands and hits him again. Dylan registers and fires back himself. Within seconds, the two are trading shots all over again, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan, Romeo, Dylan. Blood trivkles down both faces as they batter each other to the eager crowd screaming for more.

Seth Ernst: These fans are like the Roman Coliseum screaming for the gladiators to be thrown to the lions just to satiate the crowd’s bloodlust!

Miranda Augustino: Es la verdad.

Lucas Knox: Well, the Vlad Blackheart Coliseum Crowd never been accused of being soft on that!

Seth Ernst: You’re damn right on that one!

Miranda Augustino: These fans wanna see them smash each other and they are getting it here!

Lucas Knox: What is gonna happen now?

The crowd cheers wildly as the two men pummel each other as if their very lives depend on it. Wesley jumps back over the guardrail and rushes at the fight going on between his partner and Dylan Maverick. Wesley goes all the way around the ring so as to come up behind Dylan even as he and Romeo continue to smash their fists into each other’s faces. Wesley runs up to the corner and turns it. He launches himself into a flying knee from behind and nails Dylan. Dylan falls forward into the waiting arms of Romeo. Romeo snaps off a spinebuster into the floor. Dylan writhes in agony on the floor as Wesley nods to Romeo. Efficiency grab Dylan and throw him into the ring following behind him. With that, the referee calls for the bell.

Seth Ernst: My God, the bell only just now rang! The match was never official until now!

Miranda Augustino: And now it is two on one with the one battered and bleeding.

Lucas Knox: Lucky for him, Romeo isn’t much better.

Seth Ernst: This could be very bad for the Phantom Troupe! Dylan Maverick is outnumbered, outgunned and possibly outmatched if this keeps going like this!

Miranda Augustino: Efficiency looks to have chosen him as the weak link in this and now they have him right where they want him!

Lucas Knox: They’ve played this perfectly!

Wesley drills Dylan. Dylan goes down to his knees but shakes his head definitely. Romao nails him. Again, Dylan shakes his head. Wesley nails him again. Romeo follows. They take turns tagging Dylan, Wesley, Romeo, Wesley, Romeo. Dylan looks up and glares at them, daring them to finish him off. Efficiency pull him up to his feet and give him an Irish whip across the ring. Dylan runs to the ropes. He rebounds back and Wesley and Romeo catch him for a flapjack. Romeo drops to his knees, grinning knowingly and covers.


Wesley backs up and bounces off the ropes as Romeo slaps the mat in frustration. Romeo rolls away and Wesley drops a leg. Romeo stands up and drops back against the opposite ropes. He bounces back just as Wesley moves out of the way. Romeo drops a leg. Romeo covers again, this time hooking the leg.


Romeo slaps the mat in frustration again. Wesley nods, glaring down at Dylan as he does so.

Seth Ernst: Dylan Maverick is showing some serious intestinal fortitude here tonight!

Miranda Augustino: Get ‘em, Papi Chulo!

Lucas Knox: He might need to start thinking about letting this one go at this point. If he keeps going forever, he might end up seriously messed up!

Seth Ernst: I don’t think he’s ever gonna think about that.

Miranda Augustino: Probably not.

Lucas Knox: But he might wanna start!

Efficiency drags Dylan up to his feet and motion at the crowd that the end is here. As they start to move in, DJ Hunter doves into the ring and tackles Wesley, taking him out of the ring to the floor on the opposite side from where DJ had come from. As the two tumble to the floor, Dylan grabs Romeo for an inside cradle.

Isabella Salvatore: Here are your sinners, DJ Hunter and Dylan Maverick, the Phantom Troupe!

Seth Ernst: The Troupe just pulled that one out of thin air!

Miranda Augustino: It’s magic!

Lucas Knox: It’s amazing what it is. They had no business staying in that fight!

Seth Ernst: Dylan Maverick refused to let it go!

Miranda Augustino: They really are the ghost troupe that way!

Lucas Knox: I can’t believe what we just saw!

Isabella Salvatore: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Isabella Salvatore: It will have a fifteen minute time limit and it is for the NFW Genesis Championship!

The lights shut off in the arena, as chanting begins playing. A very tall man in a black cape makes his way out to the arena, as several white spotlights shine upon him. He puts his head, down as a smaller woman is raised up in front of him. She keeps her head down, and turns around revealing the word written across her back as Reaper.

As the chanting stops, Darcy turns around flipping her hood, as the tall man drops his cape. Ciaran Page is standing behind her, as “Believer” by No Resolve & State of Mine begins playing. The lights on the stage begin to flicker red, as Darcy lets her black hair fall, then looks up hammer fisting her other hand. She then begins the walk down, as her father followed her. Darcy stops at the bottom of the ramp, as she pounds her hands together again, lightning going off in the background.


Darcy then climbs up on to the apron, looking into the ring. She motions, and her father opens the second rope for her, which she steps through. Darcy then goes over undoing the sash letting her Gi fall behind her, as her father catches it. He then steps out of the ring, as the announcer speaks.

Isabella Salvatore: “Introducing first the challenger! From Dublin, Ireland, weighing 9.5 St, she is the Reaper, DARCY GRAVES!”

Darcy backs off, then goes over to where her father is standing to get a last-minute coach. She then watched, waiting, anticipating the fight.

The sound of Royal Trumpets can be heard as the lights dim and turn a violet hue as Hella Good by No Doubt hits over the public address system. As the fans greet the sound with loud boos, as first out was Simple Simon dressed in a nice suit looking nervous waving. As out from the back within a few moments is none other than Queen Bianca Davis herself wearing her royal robe her gear giving off the evil queen from SnowWhite vibes, and a large blacked crown. She poses smugly with both arms out holding her black and purple scepter after a few moments she gives them her royal wave as she saunters down with Simple Simon staying a few feet back soaking in the negative reaction looking disgusted at all the disrespectful peasants around her.

Isabella Salvatore: Her opponent! From Malibu, California! Weighing in at 130lbs! She is the NFW Genesis Champion…”QUEEN”...BIANCA…DAVIS!

The Malicious Queen saunters down some more as Simon yells for them to show some respect, and to All Hail the Queen of Hybrid. Simon makes his way up the steel steps followed by the Queen herself, Simon demands the ref lower the ropes for them which they do. First Simon enters the ring getting everyone out of the way so the Queen can make her royal entrance. Raising her arms high in the air with her scepter in her right hand as the boos overtake the arena. placing her arms down she hands Simon her scepter who moves it to the corner, as she then orders her simp to undo her robe for her which he does. The Queen then shows off her body, and attire for all the booing fans as she twirls around a bit before taking the time to do her Royal Wave for them as she makes her way to the corner. Taking off her crown and handing it to Simon, as the Queen taunts the fans a bit taking a looking her nails before saying something to Simon who takes the time to fan her as she awaits the start of the match.

Before the match starts, the referee instructs Simple Simon to get into the shark cage but Simon adamantly refuses.

Seth Ernst: The referee, trying to get Simple Simon into the cage before this match can officially start.

Lucas Knox: We got Senior Official, Yumi Akiyama back on duty! It’s good to see her back!

Miranda Augustino: A match like this? She’s the official we need!

Simple Simon: You can’t do this to me!

Referee: Get in the cage, Simon.

Simple Simon: I am Her Majesty’s Royal Emissary! I demand respect!

Referee: Simon! Get in the cage!

Simple Simon: You choose your next words carefully, peasant!

Simon jabs a finger into the referee’s shoulder..and the referee SHOVES SIMON BACK INTO THE CAGE AND ONTO HIS ASS!! Chicago pops!!

Miranda Augustino: ORALE!!! THERE YOU GO, HERMANA!!!

Seth Ernst: A referee that takes no flack from anyone!

Lucas Knox: You simply love to see it!

The referee slams the door shut and latches it locked, signaling for the production crew to raise it up. Simon scrambles to his feet and starts to try unlocking it as the cage swiftly starts to raise up off of the mat.
Even as the match starts, Bianca Davis argues with the referee to bring her loyal spokesman down from above. Simple Simon holds onto the bars of the shark cage, looking down in sheer horror at the height he’s at. Darcy Graves starts growing agitated at the stalling as the timer begins to officially tick down from 15:00


Davis shrieks at Graves to KNEEL, PEASANT!” before looking back up at Simon before Graves has finally had enough and the challenger’s on the champion! Quick, brutal, right hands over and over to the Queen Bee as Graves knows she’s really the only one fighting against the clock here while all her opponent has to do is wait it out as best as she can! The referee calls for Graves to let Davis out of the corner which Graves obliges, but only by whipping Davis across the ring into the other corner and comes running in with a corner splash, followed by a running Bulldog into the mat, driving Davis face first into the canvas! She rolls her over for the cover!


No! Davis kicks out and quickly rolls out of the ring, waving Graves off and starts to walk up towards the stage.

Seth Ernst: Bianca Davis now, leaving the ringside area.

Lucas Knox: She’s gonna take a countout loss just to retain her championship!

Miranda Augustino: Oh no she isn’t! Here comes Darcy!

Sure enough, Graves slides out of the ring past the referee, restarting the count at ”4” and charges up to catch Davis. The Queen yelps out as Graves grabs her by the hair and the back of her gear, turning and throwing her to the floor towards the ring again. Davis looks up in sheer horror at Graves who starts angrily stalking towards her, finally able to let out her months of built up aggression. Davis starts back crawling towards the ring as the count continues before scrambling up and starts to high tail it around the ring with Graves right on her heels!


Davis and Graves have made a full lap around the ring by now!


Davis slides into the ring, hoping to make it just in time while leaving Graves on the outside with no time!


GRAVES JUST BARELY SLIDES INTO THE RING IN TIME FOR THE REFEREE TO RECOGNIZE IT AS A SAFE BREAK!!! This match isn’t ending that soon! Davis, the champion, flies into a tantruming rage now as she screams and runs over, pouncing on Graves like a madwoman, throwing left and right hammer fists down onto the challenger. The referee doesn’t try to break it up until Davis grabs Graves by the hair and starts slamming her face into the mat as rapidly and violently as she can before picking her up to her feet!

Referee: Bianca! C’mon! Let her go! 1! 2! 3! 4!

A vicious hair pulling mat slam puts Graves down on the mat before the count to five and Davis pushes her hair out of her face, taking a moment to fix her appearance. She smiles and gives a regal wave to the booing Chicago crowd who let her know what they think of her.

Crowd: QUEEN BITCH! QUEEN BITCH! QUEEN BITCH! QUEEN BITCH!

Davis isn’t having any of this as she leans against the ropes near the hardcam and points to herself, shrieking at the fans.

"Queen" Bianca Davis: SILENCE, ALL OF YOU!!

Simple Simon: YOU WILL RESPECT THE QUEEN, YOU FILTHY PEONS!!

Crowd: QUEEN’S SIMP! QUEEN’S SIMP! QUEEN’S SIMP! QUEEN’S SIMP!

Flying into a hotter rage, Davis starts putting the boots to Graves who starts getting to her feet and fighting back. Davis throws a shot to Graves. Graves throws a shot to Davis. Davis throws one back. Graves throws one back. Davis! Graves! Davis! Graves! Davis! Graves! Davis! Graves! Davis! Graves flies into a series of stiff martial arts kicks to the legs and body of the champion before Spinning Thrust Kicking Davis and comes off the ropes but Davis catches her on the way back with a Facebreaker Knee Smash! Graves snaps up straight and Davis continues with a Spinning Heel Kick then catches Graves with a nice Swinging Neckbreaker that even gets the crowd to applaud her execution of the combination.

Simple Simon: WHO’S THE QUEEN’S SIMP NOW, HUH?!

Crowd: YOUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

Miranda Augustino: AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Lucas Knox: Gotta love Chicago!

Simon jumps back against the cage wall behind him at this, looking flushed as Davis goes for a pin on Graves.


Graves gets the shoulder up and Davis pounds the mat in a fit before she pulls her up by the hair and throws her into the corner, lifting her up onto the turnbuckle. Davis climbs up with her and looks for a Superplex but Graves fights back, punching at her ribs to break free of the hold. Before Davis can drop down, Graves lifts her up and takes them both down to the mat with a Falcon Arrow and both women bounce off the mat before laying in a heap beside each other!

Isabella Salvatore: Ten minutes remain! I repeat! Ten minutes remain!

Graves gets to her feet and pulls Davis into a Rear Waistlock, hitting a German Suplex but rather than letting go, she holds on and hits a second…a third…then a fourth! She bridges for the cover!


Davis kicks out still! Graves pulls Davis up and hooks her arms behind her, looking for a Dragon Suplex but Davis drops down and throws her legs up, pulling Graves forward into a tight rollup!


Graves just makes it out of the cover again! Davis rolls backwards, up onto her feet and comes off the ropes for a brutal Mafia Kick to the back of Graves head as she starts to rise. Graves grabs her head as she continues to fight her way to her feet and Davis runs the ropes, coming off with “Beautiful Boot (Big Boot)” to Graves, taking her back down to the mat again! Still, Graves starts fighting to her feet and Davis grabs her from behind, looking to put her into the Romero Special and hit “The Seal (Romero Special Into a Curb Stomp)” but Graves manages to move her head out of the way and Davis stomps the canvas! In Davis’ shock, she loses her grip on one of Graves’ arms and The Reaper grabs onto her stomping foot, managing to pull Davis down and forward into a modified Drop Toe Hold. Davis scrambles for the ropes as Graves locks on an STF and wrenches back hard! She transitions into “Grave Robber (Kimura Lock)” sending Davis into a panic! She reaches for the ropes with her free arm but just before she’s able to grab it, Graves rotates both of them around to put Davis hand further from the ropes.

Seth Ernst: Graves has the Grave Robber locked in tight!

Miranda Augustino: We could have a new champion right here!

Lucas Knox: I think Davis is gonna tap!

Isabella Salvatore: Five minutes remain! I repeat! Five minutes remain!

However, Davis manages to get her leg out and hang her boot over the bottom rope, forcing the break. Graves lets go and kneels back from Davis as the champion holds her arm in pain. The challenger moves to the turnbuckle and climbs up to the top, signaling for The Grave Digger.

Simple Simon: MY QUEEN!!!! MY QUEEN, WATCH OUT!! MY QUEEEEEEEN!!!

Miranda Augustino: Somebody shut him up! Pinche idiota’s making my ears bleed!

Simon’s done his job, even from above the ring, however, and Davis sees Graves setting up at the top. She scrambles to her feet and grabs Graves by the gear, ripping her down from the turnbuckle with a one armed powerbomb. Graves bounces across the mat and Davis runs in, catching her as she rises with “Red Bottom Shot (Brazilian Kick)!!” She follows up with…”QUEEN’S MAKE OVER (SITOUT FACEBUSTER)!!” She rolls Graves over for the cover!


GRAVES KICKS OUT JUST IN THE KNICK OF TIME!!! Davis shoots up onto her knees, shrieking at the ref at the top of her lungs and slapping her hands together.

"Queen" Bianca Davis: LEARN HOW TO COUNT, YOU FUCKING PEASANT!!!!!

Lucas Knox: Well that’s not very ladylike of Her Royal Majesty!

Miranda Augustino: Oye, carnal, did you just call her…?

Lucas Knox: I just meant…you know…

Miranda Augustino: Callate la boca.

Davis picks Graves up again and just throws her through the turnbuckles, driving her shoulder into the ringpost and Graves crumples outside and down to the floor as the crowd boos the excessive violent side of the desperate Queen. The referee throws his arms up in disbelief and goes outside to check on the challenger. Davis sees her opportunity now and runs underneath the dangling shark cage, yelling up to Simon and motioning for something. Simon smiles knowingly and reaches into his suit jacket, pulling out a tiny little bottle of liquid.

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Seth Ernst: Of course, the champion came prepared!

Lucas Knox: That damn perfume bottle!

Miranda Augustino: That shit better not be Chanel with how she goes around using that!

Davis reaches up for the bottle but Simon’s too high to just hand it to her so he lets it fall from his hands towards hers but as Davis is making grabby hands at it, the bottle bounces off her knuckles and over her head onto the mat. She turns around to pick it up and rises to see the referee back inside the ring as he had come in to start the countout after making sure Graves wasn’t badly injured. He points at the bottle in Davis’ hands.

Referee: What the hell is that?!

"Queen" Bianca Davis: This? Oh! Nothing! Just, uhh..

Davis puts on her most innocent smile and starts to spritz her neck and wrists with the perfume but the referee sees right through her charade and snatches the bottle out of her hands.

"Queen" Bianca Davis: Hey! Give that back!

Referee: You give this to her?!

The referee yells up at Simon and the man throws his hands up in innocent surrender, already forgetting he’s pulled a second bottle out to try and slip it to Davis since the first one got taken. The referee points the second bottle out and Simon hastily tucks it away, trying to play innocent.

Isabella Salvatore: One minute remains! I repeat! One minute remains!

Miranda Augustino: Clock’s ticking down! Where’s Graves?!

Lucas Knox: She’s still making her way to her feet after that collision with the ringpost!

A brief cut outside the ring shows Graves pulling herself to her feet and starting to crawl back inside the ring. The referee throws the bottle of perfume in his hand he took from Davis out through the ropes. Davis screams at him about how much the bottle cost as Simon sees Graves pulling herself up to her feet on the ropes.

Simple Simon: MY QUEEN!!!

Davis hears the panic in Simon’s voice and it registers now as she suddenly spins around…right into “WAKING THE DEAD (RUNNING SINGLE LEG HIGH KNEE)!!” Davis staggers back into the ropes, dazed from the shot and falls forward right into Graves’ arms again. Graves lifts her up!

Seth Ernst: TEN SECONDS LEFT!!!

Miranda Augustino: AYYYYYYYY!!!!

“ONE WAY TRIP (HELLEVATOR)” TO THE CHAMPION FROM THE CHALLENGER!!!!! GRAVES COVERS!!!!

Lucas Knox: FIVE SECONDS!!!


The referee jumps up and calls for the bell!!!
[BUZZER]
Seth Ernst: Did she do it?!

Lucas Knox: I..I don’t know!!

There’s a moment of the referee, time keeper and ring announcer conferring with each other before…

Isabella Salvatore: Ladies and gentlemen…….here is your winner!!!!

Miranda Augustino: YES!!! YEEEESSSSS!!!

Isabella Salvatore: AAAAAAAAND NEEEEEEEEEEEWWW….NFW GENESIS CHAMPION…..DARCY….GRAVES!!!!

Seth Ernst: We have a new Genesis Champion!!

Lucas Knox: After a long hard road of obstacles, trials and tribulations set forth by Bianca Davis!

Miranda Augustino: After months of bullshit, you mean!

Graves stares down at the title in her hands in disbelief as her father, Ciaran Page comes down to ringside to a loud ovation from the crowd to hug his daughter, and raises her arm with the referee.

Isabella Salvatore: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Isabella Salvatore: And it is for the NFW Event Horizon Championship!

The lights in the arena so out as a purple light fills the arena. As the song slowly filters in. Morganna is finely seen as the first verse ends as she stands in a cloud of purple smoke. She walks to the ring slowly and deliberately till she reaches the ring steps that she sprints up and gets into the ring.

Isabella Salvatore: Introducing first, the challenger! Representing the Queens of Chaos! From New Orleans, Louisiana! Weighing in at 155lbs! “The Hexblade”...MORGANNA…BILSON!

Suddenly the lights go out and a voice is heard over the speakers.


The light bursts back on as "Chaos is my life" by "The Exploited" Blasts out of the speakers and a spotlight goes out to the crowd showing Johnny towers walking through the crowd to the ring the fans scattering out of the way to avoid him as he walks through. Not taking his time he gets to the barricade leaping over to the ringside area taking a moment to stare at the ring before sliding into the ring and pacing around the ring like a lion inside a cage drooling at the prospect of the fight to come while shouting at the fans who are booing him.

Isabella Salvatore: Her opponent! From London, England, weighing in at 240lbs! He is the NFW Event Horizon Champion…JOHNNY…TOWERS!
As soon as the bell rings, Morganna charges forward, but Towers drops down, and rolls out of the ring before flipping Bilson the bird. Johnny gestures to her to step out of the ring, bad mouthing her all the while. She holds her ground for a moment before stepping through the ropes and dropping down to the floor, only to be leveled by a brutal clothesline from the champ! He laughs, putting the boots to her for a minute before dragging her to her feet. She weakly attempts to fight back, but a hard forearm to the face rocks the challenger before she’s thrown back into the ring.

Towers takes this early opportunity of separation to get under the ring, throwing a variety of weapons and things under the ropes. Chairs, kendo sticks, a cloth sack and more get deposited into the ring before Towers climbs up onto the apron, stepping back into the ring. He immediately pays for taking his attention off Bilson, however, as she comes running in, blasting the champion with a brutal big boot into the corner! He collapses to the mat, leaning against the turnbuckle, as the challenger bends down, picking up one of the steel chairs that Towers had introduced into the match. She waits for a moment, looking down at the cloth sack with a grin. She knows exactly what Johnny would have had in that! Lifting the bag, she gives it a heft before turning back to the champion, who has slowly gotten to his feet. Bilson swings the bag as hard as she can, hitting Towers upside the head with the bag, causing it to practically explode thumbtacks! The small metal objects embed themselves in his face and scalp, and he screams in pain, clawing at his face as she tosses him through the ropes to the outside. With one corner of the mat littered in tacks, Morganna drops back down to the floor, following the champ as he claws at his face, ripping the tacks out one by one. Blood is streaming down his face as he turns back to her, rage in his eyes! The challenger doesn’t back down though, charging forward to begin throwing forearms at him! He answers in kind, the two of them trading shots at the bottom of the ramp without the slightest thought toward defense!

Johnny finally gets the upper hand, driving Morganna backwards up the ramp toward the stage. She tries to fight back, but he ducks her attempted swing, catching her around the waist before lifting her up and over his head with a brutal German suplex onto the ramp! He bridges for a pin! The referee is there in an instant, ready to count.


Bilson kicks out! Towers releases his hold on Morganna’s waist, chuckling to himself as she rises to his feet. Dragging her up to a standing position, he grabs a hold of one of her wrists, turning to whip her into the video display between the entrance tunnels but Bilson reverses! Johnny slams face first into the video board, stumbling backwards only to get a running big boot to the back of the head, driving him right back into the board with a sickening crack! Blood is running down Bilson’s face as she pants from the exertion, but she drops into a cover on the champion.


Johnny kicks out with a roar of frustration, pushing Morganna off of him as he rolls away. The two of them scramble up to their feet, staring one another down as the crowd chants for both Bilson and Towers in this heated contest! Johnny suddenly starts to laugh, a look of near insanity on his face as he beckons for Morganna to keep coming! She obliges him, and the two are right back to throwing caution to the wind, trading shots back and forth all over again! Punches, kicks, forearms, nothing is left to the imagination as the champion and challenger do everything they can to inflict damage on each other! Morgana dodges as strike from Johnny, driving a boot into his gut, looking for CAMP BLOOD, but Towers pushes her away, looking to drive home his DISCUS LARIAT! Bilson dodges that too, turning to face the champion as he spins back towards her to blast her with a brutal ULTRA STIFF HEADBUTT! Morganna crumples to the stage, but Towers still has those tacks in his forehead, and he screams in pain, stumbling back a few steps as he clutches at them yet again. He manages to recover, however, diving down on top of the challenger.


NO! Morganna kicks out, rolling away and off the stage to the floor, landing on her feet. She leans back against it, trying to catch her breath as Towers takes aim. Backing away from the stage, Bilson looks up just in time to see Johnny launch himself off the stage, barreling her over and putting them both in a heap against the security barricade! The two of them get to their feet, their faces covered in blood, bodies battered from their back and forth. They start fighting one another again, back down the aisle toward the ring. Johnny tossed Morganna back into the ring, following right behind her, grabbing a handful of bamboo skewers as he rises to his feet. Bilson has a chair, but she doesn’t see what he has in his hand before it’s too late! Towers brings his hand down hard, slamming the handful of skewers into the top of her head! She screams, dropping the chair as the wooden spikes stick up from her head. Blood streams down her face as she drops to a knee. The champion is already on the move, running past her to rebound off the ropes before coming back with a big boot to the back of her head! She falls forward, and Towers goes for the cover again!


At the last possible second, Bilson kicks out. She’s barely moving though, and it seems like she kicked out purely on instinct. Towers clears the ring with the exception of one chair and the corner littered with tacks. He hauls the barely conscious challenger to her feet, walking her over to the tack filled corner of the ring. He sets her up, lifting her in the jackknife position, but Morganna escapes, dropping to the mat behind him! She kicks him in the back of the knee, looking for LOCK STEEP, but no! Towers sees it coming, leaning away from the stomp. Morganna brings her foot down into the pile of tacks. She clutches her foot in pain, immediately being grabbed by Towers who slings her towards the ropes. He goes for the back body drop on the rebound, but she rolls over him, wrapping an arm around his neck before driving him to the mat with a brutal DDT! She takes two steps back, breathing hard, locking her sights on him, preparing for LOCK STEEP again. She runs in, leaping for the stomp, but Towers rises to his feet, catching her in powerbomb position before driving her back down to the mat with authority! Morganna suddenly pops back up to her feet with a roar of frustration! He takes one small step backwards, shocked at her sudden recovery! Bilson charges forward, kicking the champion in the stomach before lifting him up and dropping him back down with CAMP BLOOD! Towers crumples, and Morganna hooks the leg!


Morganna slams her fist into the mat in frustration, clutching her face, trying to figure out what she has to do! Towers rolls away, struggling to get to his feet. She backs up, snarling, looking to come in with her stomp again, but Johnny has it scouted! She runs in, attempts the stomp, and misses as Towers stumbles backwards to his feet. He immediately grabs a hold of her arm, yanking her back toward him to deliver FUBAR! He throws an arm over her chest, and the referee begins to count.

The referee calls for the bell, taking the belt from ringside. Towers gets to his feet, groggy, as the title is handed over to him, a bloodied grin on his face as he rolls out of the ring, clutching his title in his hands.

Isabella Salvatore: Here is your winner…AAAAAAAND STILL…THE NFW EVENT HORIZON CHAMPION….JOHNNY…TOWERS!!

The lights go down, as the opening notes of “Heart vs Mind” by I Prevail begins to play. The crowd goes into a frenzy, as the shrieking vocals that gets the song fully started kicks in.


With that, the lights all up at once, with Kai Morgan jumping out through the curtain, raising up his arms to get the crowd hyped. He makes his way to the ring as Isabella Salvatore chimes in.

Isabella Salvatore: The following contest is scheduled for one fall

Introducing first…from Detroit, Michigan…weighing in at 204 lbs…Kai! Morgan!

Kai makes it to the bottom of the ramp, looking out and surveying the crowd of loving fans. Before he has a chance to take another step towards the ring however, he’s taken down by a Shoulder Tackle by Kuali’i Tofilau, who comes out from the crowd to get the jump on Morgan. He comes in like a bullet train, leaving it to be a surprise that he’s only laid out in one piece rather than a stain on the ringside floor. As a result of this, Tofilau is able to pull Morgan off the floor, throwing him into the barricade before running in and clubbing him with a Clothesline against the barrier as he tries to get up! He pulls Morgan to his feet by the hair, bringing him right up to his face!

Kūali’i Tofilau: YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD DISRESPECT THE GOD OF THUNDER, AND HE WOULD LET YOU OFF WITH A WARNING? HUH?!

Tofilau then turns his attention to the ringpost, looking to throw Morgan right into it! But his jackjawing gets the best of him, allowing Morgan enough recovery time to turn the tables and throw him into the ringpost instead! He then turns his attention to the ringsteps now, throwing Tofilau into those as well! Tofilau collides with the steel so hard that the top half of the steps pop out of the frame, leaving it strewn on the ringside floor! Morgan looks to take advantage of this, dragging Tofilau up to his feet and looking to drop him onto the bottom half of the steps with a Suplex! But Tofilau fights back, eventually getting Morgan up and dropping him onto the steps with the move instead! Morgan cries out in anguish as Tofilau stands over him, dusting off his hands. He pulls Morgan to his feet, throwing him into the ring! The referee tries to check on Morgan, leading to him being chastised by Tofilau who tells them to ring the bell! After some hesitation, the official finally, and begrudgingly, does!
Morgan starts to get to his feet, with Kuali’i yelling out a “SIT YO ASS DOWN” as he runs over and drops him with another Shoulder Tackle! He pulls Morgan to his feet, throwing him into the corner and nailing him with Stomp after Stomp to the midsection! The referee tries to intervene now, threatening a five count on Tofilau! The God of Thunder gets into the official’s face, almost slighted by their insistence that he follow the rules! He returns to Morgan, who’s able to fight back into this with a Forearm! His comeback offense is quickly snuffed out however, with Tofilau answering with a European Uppercut that battens Morgan back into the corner! He follows up, grabbing Morgan and tossing him to the center of the ring with a Biel!

Kūali’i Tofilau: I CAN DO THIS SHIT ALL DAY! THIS AIN’T NOTHIN TO ME! This little white boy gonna get his ass whooped so bad his Grand Daddy gonna feel it!

Tofilau pulls Morgan to his feet again, this time looking for a Vertical Suplex! He lifts up for the move, but Morgan is able to shift his weight, coming back down and pulling Tofilau to the mat with an Inside Cradle Pin!

TWO…!

Kick out by Tofilau! Both men are now up to their feet, with Tofilau looking to keep his control with a Clothesline to Morgan! He rushes underneath it however, hitting the ropes before coming back with a Slingblade! He waits for Tofilau to get to his feet, before taking him by the hand and looking for a Headbutt! This backfires on Morgan, causing more damage to him than it does to his opponent! Tofilau looks to take advantage of this, pulling in a falling Morgan! But Morgan is more than ready to continue turning the tables here, jumping up as Tofilau pulls him in and nailing him with a Leaping Knee Strike!

Morgan is struggling to get up, rubbing his head and holding his back as he slowly makes it back to his feet! He comes over to Tofilau, getting him in a Ripcord position before pulling him in for another move! But Tofilau once again takes the advantage, twisting Morgan’s own move to pull him in for a Clothesline! He keeps a hold on Morgan’s arm, getting him to his feet before pulling him in for another Clothesline! But Morgan reverses, tilting over the Clothesline and landing on his feet, right in position to get Tofilau up and drop him with a Sit-Out Powerbomb! Pin by Morgan!

TWO…!

Kick out again by Tofilau! Tofilau rolls over as Kai pulls himself to his feet and sizes Kūali’i up as The God of Thunder slowly staggers up to his feet. Morgan lines him up and nails Tofilau with a Pump Kick that sends him back against the ropes, then as he stumbles forward Morgan catches him with a Rolling Elbow! This staggers Tofilau again who stumbles back and into the ropes, bouncing forward as Morgan catches him with a Superkick that drops him to a knee! Kai sees this and goes out to the ring apron, Kai looks around at the crowd and gets them hyped up but as he turns around, Kūali’i is back on his feet and swings for him!

Kai ducks out of the way and catches Tofilau with a right that staggers him against the ropes, then a leaping enzuigiri that catches Tofilau flush! Kūali’i stumbles backwards a few steps and Morgan looks to capitalize here, sizing Kūali’i up once again and looking to hit him with some sort of Slingshot maneuver… only for Kūali’i to catch him with a NASTY uppercut that echoes throughout the arena! Kai slumps over the top rope and Tofilau wastes little time, hooking both arms and dropping Morgan with “The Top of the Mountain”! The rope hung Tiger Driver 98 SPIKES Kai, and Tofilau pulls him away from the ropes and hooks the legs!

TWO…!

No! Kai throws the shoulder up at two! Tofilau almost expected this, however. Wasting little time he picks Morgan up and pushes him back into the corner before beginning to lay into him with clothesline after clothesline against the turnbuckles! After nearly a dozen clotheslines, Tofilau grabs Morgans arm and throws it over his head, before tossing Kai halfway across the ring with an overhead Belly to Belly suplex!

Kūali’i pulls himself to his feet and dusts his shoulder off, staring out into the crowd before holding his arms out wide and saying “It’s just too easy!” as the crowd begins raining down boo’s on the God of Thunder, who just stands there and smiles. Turning his attention back to Kai now he comes charging in as Morgan has pulled himself up in the corner, Tofilau looks to nail Kai with a spear here against the turnbuckles but Kai moves out the way! Tofilau’s shoulder slams into the turnbuckle and he pulls away from the corner, clutching at his arm as Kai shakes the cobwebs off and sees his opening!

Kūali’i slumps and sits in the corner as he clutches his shoulder and Kai comes charging in, and nails him with a corner cannonball! The crowd pops for this as he gets to his feet and gets fired up. Kūali’i is clutching at his midsection as Kai calls for him to get up. Tofilau does and before Kai can do anything, he catches Morgan with a massive elbow that takes the wind out of the sails of the crowd. Kūali’i looks around and smirks, and raises his finger to the sky before taking off to the ropes and comes charging in, looking to nail Kai with a big boot… but Kai ducks out the way and hits the ropes, he comes charging in AND NAILS TOFILAU WITH THE DARK MATTER MACHINE! THE SPEAR CUTS TOFILAU IN HALF AND KAI MAKES THE COVER!

TWO…!

NO! Another kickout by Tofilau!

Kūali’i rolls to his stomach and clutches at his ribs as Kai gets to his feet. Hee starts kicking at the side of the head of Tofilau, who falls to his face with each kick. Morgan then hits the ropes and comes charging in, looking to nail Tofilau with something huge only for Tofilau to power himself up to his feet and hit Morgan with a pounce that sends him across the ring, and crashing into the ropes! Tofilau hypes himself up and goes to the corner, sizing Morgan up before he comes charging in, looking to hit Morgan with a spear of his own!

BUT KAI COUNTERS!

Kai nails Tofilau with a superkick as he came charging in and rocks The Iron Chief! Tofilau is seemingly out on his feet here and Kai senses it, hitting the ropes he comes in and looks to nail Kūali’i with another Dark Matter Machine… BUT TOFILAU POPS HIM UP AND CATCHES HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS! Wasting little time now, Tofilau spins Kai around and nails him with the God’s Right Hand! The move that Kai reversed to beat him in their first encounter finally connects here and Kūali’i makes the pin!

TWO…!

TH-...

NO

KAI KICKS OUT!

Kūali’i looks enraged now, but quickly collects his composure. He looks into the nearby camera shooting him, seemingly telling the audience at home, or at least one person in particular, one last thing.

Kūali’i Tofilau: You gon wanna turn Kyle Junior’s eyes away from the screen. Cause he ain’t gon like what I’m gonna do to his daddy next.

With that, Tofilau rolls Kai onto his back, laying into him with Forearms to the head, each one more brutal than the last. The Forearms eventually graduate to just straight up punches, with even the referee being too disgusted to act on Morgan’s behalf. Eventually, a little dot of red begins to form on Morgan’s head, but Tofilau continues to lay into him. The red dot begins to grow with each blow, until the skin Morgan’s forehead completely disappears into a pool of red. But despite this, Tofilau keeps hitting him…

And hitting him…

And hitting him…

And HITTING him!

Eventually, the ring looks less like a place for competition and more like a crime scene, with Morgan’s head, Tofilau’s right hand, and the canvas around them dripping with blood. The referee finally steps in, calling for the bell to end the torture.
Silence descends over the arena for a moment as Tofilau continues to lay into Morgan. This leads to the official having to tackle The God of Thunder just to get him to stop.

Isabella Salvatore: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner…as the result of a referee stoppage…Kūali’i! Tofilau!

As “Pati Mai” begins to play as the crowd sit there in stunned silence, Kūali’i Tofilau gets to his feet and demands his hand to be raised. The official does eventually as the crowd begin to boo and EMT’s rush the ring to check on Kai Morgan.


Kūali’i Tofilau leaves the ring and begins to walk up the ramp, noticing the camera following him he turns to it and begins to talk into it.

Kūali’i Tofilau: You see that? That was a fucking warning shot! That was a message to anyone and everyone in that roster who thinks they can step toe to toe to the God of Thunder! You don’t understand yet, but you will soon! This is my show! New Frontier Wrestling is MY company! You can send me to whatever show you want, and I’ll run that roster too! It’s only a matter of time before I got championship gold, and there ain’t a damn thing anybody can do about it to prove me otherwise!

He grabs the camera now, continuing to speak.

Kūali’i Tofilau: Send whoever you want! I’ll leave them lying in a puddle of blood like I just did that white boy! I run this show! THIS is my industry. Nobody can stop me, and I dare you all to try!

He continues to walk past the camera and to the back, his fist raised to the sky as EMT’s continue to check on Kai, and try to stop the bleeding.

Isabella Salvatore: The following contest is set for one fall and it for the NFW Alliance Championships!
The opening strains of Halestorm’s “Mayhem” start rocking the sound system and the members of Mayhem 2.0, Ashley Kenyon, Stacy Jones, Eavan "Sykobitty" Maloney, Becca "Bruiser" Maguire and managers Aoife “Banshee” Maguire-Knox, Katrina “Hairicin” Knox and Fianna “Fetch” Kenyon, walk through the entryway, pausing as the song calms itself . At the 0:46 mark, as the chorus kicks in, Fetch slams her palms on the stage and then throws herself up with a roaring scream while Ashley, Stacy, Sykobitty and Bruiser raise their arms up as well. The seven start to the ring where Fetch, Banshee and Hairicin climb up first and then step inside while Ashley, Stacy, Sykobitty and Bruiser each take a corner. Fetch, Banshee and Hairicin step to the middle of the ring between the four on the corners as they all pose for their adoring public. The seven meet in their corner, smirking devilishly at the reaction, loving every second of it.

Isabella Salvatore: Introducing first, the challengers, the team of Ashley Kenyon, Stacy Jones and Becca “Bruiser” Maguire, Mayhem 2.0!

Seth Ernst: It's nice to see Sykobitty out here with her partners even if she isn’t cleared quite yet.

Miranda Augustino: It’s still strange to see no Psycho with them.

Lucas Knox: If Sykobitty’s not cleared yet, I don’t know what you would call Psycho after what happened the last time these two teams stepped into the ring together.

Seth Ernst: Well, Sykobitty will be back on Tuesday.

Miranda Augustino: We’ll have to see about Psycho.

Lucas Knox: It’s amazing we’re even talking about her coming back at all.

Marilyn Manson's "Personal Jesus"" comes through the PA as the lights around the arena dim, bringing focus onto the stage as Sedition Rising make their way out from the tunnel. Jamie Austin, Adrianna Salvatore and Cherry Blackman all walk out to the center, standing at the top of the ramp as the crowd boo loudly. The three look at each other with smug grins before Adrianna presses forward with Jamie and Cherry moving a step behind her on either side.

Isabella Salvatore: Making their way to the ring, at a combined weight of 467lbs. Representing Sedition Rising! The team of...Jamie Austin...Cherry Blackman...and Adrianna Salvatore!

Jamie and Cherry climb the apron and step into the ring as Adrianna moves around to the hard cam side and pulls herself up onto the apron, holding onto the middle rope as she leans forward with a sinister smile. Behind her, inside the ropes, Jamie leans through the top and the middle, licking her teeth as Cherry leans over the top with a snarl to the crowd. Adrianna stands and enters the ring with the others and they give a final pose in the center of the ring before moving to their corner to prepare for the match.

Seth Ernst: And here are the champions…

Miranda Augustino: It’s a daunting team to face.

Lucas Knox: They’ve been THE team here since WrestleWar, of course it’s daunting!

Seth Ernst: No we see, do the champs prevail again or does Mayhem 2.0 get revenge?

Miranda Augustino: I’m sure there’s a few hoping!

Lucas Knox: More than a few but do you think Sedition Rising gives a damn what everybody else is hoping for?
Adrianna, Cherry and Jamie all smirk knowingly as Ashley, Stacy and Bruiser walk to the center of the ring to meet them. The crowd screams vociferously as the six combatants come together. Adrianna gives a motion like she’s saying, “Well, come on then and take your beating like a good little…” Before she can finish that motion, Ashley and Stacy nod to each other and all six dive into the fight. The crowd erupts all over again as Ashley nails Jamie, Bruiser hits Cherry and Stacy hits Adrianna. The three separate fistfights get going as each pair hamer away. Stacy goes hard at Adrianna, looking to avenge her sister-in-law. Ashley goes after Jamie over what they did to Nikki Peltier before WrestleWar. Bruiser goes at it with Cherry over taking advantage of what happened to her wife and over what they did to Sykobitty. Adrianna drop toeholds Stacy and then looks for an STF. Stacy rolls it into a cradle.


Seth Ernst: Mayhem 2.0 trying to make this a fistfight and almost immediately Adrianna tried to use their reckless aggression against Stacy!

Miranda Augustino: You would think that would be a bad idea for Stacy.

Lucas Knox: Yeah, but it's almost normal for Ashley and Bruiser.

Seth Ernst: Can you call anything about any of these six…”normal?”

Miranda Augustino: Probably not.

Lucas Knox: In their world, this is very normal.

Ashley and Jamie hammer away on each other, almost trading as they go. They smash away, each trying to pummel the other into submission where they stand. Ashley goes for a big one but Jamie ducks it and catches her arm. Jamie pulls Ashley into a backslide. Ashley tries to block it but Jamie’s added leverage helps her pull Ashley over so that her shoulders go down onto the mat.


Ashley starts back to her feet and Jamie rushes at her for a knee strike. Ashley blocks it and spins into a discus lariat attempt. Jamie ducks it and gets in a kick to the midsection. Ashley doubles over. Jamie grabs her head for a front facelock. Ashley reverses the DDT/suplex position into a bridging northern lights suplex of her own.


Seth Ernst: Jamie did roughly the same thing to Ashley, using her aggression against her.

Miranda Augustino: Mayhem 2.0 has been so hellbent on revenge and making it hurt back that they’ve almost lost the match twice already!

Lucas Knox: Sedition Rising has been showing why they’re the champions and thus the best squad in NFW today!

Seth Ernst: They’ve definitely set Mayhem 2.0 up to want too many things at once, that’s for sure.

Miranda Augustino: It’s gonna bite them in the ass if it continues.

Lucas Knox: And with some of them, that’s quite the ass to bite.

Bruiser and Cherry go at it. Bruiser grabs at Cherry, looking for clinch but Cherry gets in a roundhouse kick that stops the tattooed woman in her tracks. Cherry looks for a takedown. Bruiser sprawls to stuff it. Bruiser ends up with a front facelock almost by accident. She sits up and starts pulling on it for a guillotine. Cherry manages to pull her head free and looks for a big clothesline. Bruiser catches the arm and rolls for a cradle.


The two competitors get to their knees and start pounding away on each other, trading shots. Cherry hits first, Bruiser follows. Cherry hits back, Bruiser follows. They keep going, Cherry, Bruiser, Cherry, Bruiser, Cherry, Bruiser, Cherry, Bruiser, Cherry, Bruiser, Cherry, Bruiser, Cherry, Bruiser, Cherry, Bruiser. With blood rolling down both faces, the two nail each other more, each trying to knock the other into the next life with each shot. Cherry grabs a front facelock on Bruiser and hits a short DDT that spikes Bruiser into the mat. Bruiser goes over and lands on her back. Cherry covers.


Seth Ernst: Bruiser’s been less reckless but still…

Miranda Augustino: You would kind of expect that from her. She’s more of a teacher’s mentality than Ashkey and Stacy on this.

Lucas Knox: She still has her moments of “fuck you” though.

Seth Ernst: Doesn’t everybody?

Miranda Augustino: Not like that.

Lucas Knox: No, sometimes, it’s worse.

Bruiser starts to get back up and gets run over by Adrianna. Stacy comes after and Adrianna catches her coming in for a big overhead belly to belly suplex. Cherry covers Bruiser.


Jamie comes over and Ashley sidesteps her. Jamie goes into the ropes and Ashley gets her for an O'Connor roll.


Ashley is propelled forward and Adrianna elevates her to backdrop her over the top rope. Ashley lands hard on the apron. Stacy gets up and comes in to each a big arm drag from Cherry. Cherry and Jamie get Stacy and give her a double hip toss into the arms of Adrianna, looking for a powerbomb. Bruiser gets in the way and intercepts, swinging Stacy around into kicks on Jamie and Cherry. Bruiser releases Stacy and Stacy hits the Bat-Hammer on Adrianna. Adrianna bounces off the ropes and Bruiser grabs her, launching her clean over the top rope. Adrianna flies and bounces off the barricade, landing in a stunned heap on the floor. The crowd explodes at the sight of it.

Crowd: HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!!

Cherry rolls Bruiser up from behind.


Ashley and Stacy step into position. Bruiser gets Cherry up to her fet. Ashley hist her with the Kiss Off at the same time that Stacy comes through with the Stall N’ Crawl, completing the Kiss & Tell on Cherry. Ashley covers Cherry.


Seeing Jamie coming, Bruiser gives Stacy a boost and she hits the RWYA to stop Jamie.

Isabella walks over to the front row where Darlyn Fajardo is sitting with Khary Kenyon and his children. Isabella hands the microphone to Darlyn.

Darlyn Fajardo: Here are your winners.. And NEW NFW Alliance Champions… MAYHEM 2.0!!!

Isabella backs off as Darlyn sits back down.

Seth Ernst: Is that… little Seán and Siobhan Maguire sitting there with Darlyn and Khary?

Miranda Augustino: Looks like little RJ Maguire is there with them as well.

Lucas Knox: Along with the Kenyon children.

Seth Ernst: So Mayhem not only did it, they did it with almost the whole family here!

Miranda Augustino: ¡Ay dios mío!

Lucas Knox: They sure as hell did!

Sykobitty and Banshee walk over and get Seán and Siobhan Maguire, bringing them into the ring where Ashley and Stacy hug them and have them hold up two of the championships. Bruiser walks over to the front row and hugs RJ, kissing him on the head and having him hold up the third championship.

Isabella Salvatore: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a steel cage match!


“Loser” by 3 Doors Down starts in the arena as the cameras go backstage, following Jimmy Bones from behind through the halls. He slaps an equipment crate with his hand as he enters the corridor, leading to Gorilla, moving past a number of backstage workers watching him make his walk to the ring. A few of them, being his long time coworkers of the NFW crew slap his hand and pat him on the back. As the song reaches the chorus, Jimmy comes through Gorilla itself and out of the tunnel onto the stage with the camera swinging around in front of him as the crowd welcomes him with a roar.

Isabella Salvatore: Introducing first…from Galesburg, Illinois! Weighing in at 172lbs! JIMMY…BONES!!

Jimmy closes his eyes, takes a deep breath and looks down towards the ring, walking down the walkway. Reaching ringside, he runs up onto the apron and climbs the turnbuckles, throwing his hands up and down to get the crowd rallied more before grabbing the corners and kicks off, propelling himself down into the ring. His music starts to fade as he moves to the center of the ring and turns towards the stage, watching intensely for his opponent and, many would dare way friend to make her way to the ring.


The music starts and the arena goes black except for the big screen which displays the countdown from 5 to 1 along with the music. When the countdown finishes up, the word Annihilate appears as explosions in purple and gold go off at the entrance and a spotlight hits the stage showing Orphynn standing with her arms folded and nodding her head. She starts making her way to the ring as the lights return to normal and she takes time with the fans. Orphynn reaches the ring steps and hits the top step twice with both hands in fists before ascending. She steps through the ring ropes and climbs the top corner. Orphynn raises her hands up and the crowd cheers her on. She puts her arms down and nods to the crowd pointing and saying things to some people she picks out from the crowd while smiling. Orphynn then grabs the top rope and boosts herself backward into the ring to her feet.

Isabella Salvatore: His opponent…from The City Of Angels! Weighing in at 173lbs! “Today’s Warrior”...ORPHYNN!!!!

As the music fades out, the cage begins to lower around the ring. Orphynn and Bones watch as the structure lowers in place and the outside crew begins to fasten the sections together at the bottom. They each turn to look at one another as the referee checks that they’re both ready and calls for the bell.

Seth Ernst: Orphynn versus Jimmy Bones, ladies and gentlemen! The final opportunity for Jimmy Bones to prove himself as more than just a part time competitor!

Lucas Knox: I’d say he’s more than proven he’s got what it takes, Seth.

Miranda Augustino: Si, but he’s gotta get that win to prove it to himself and, arguably, to his opponent as well as the rest of the world.

Seth Ernst: It’s taking place inside a steel cage due to the recent, some would say, obsession of Pandemonia over Orphynn. Ever since the return of the One Woman Horde, she’s had it out for Today’s Warrior.

Miranda Augustino: Jealousy’s an ugly thing, Seth.

Orphynn and Bones circle up in the middle of the ring. As they’ve done before, the two come in for a collar and elbow tie up. Jockeying for position, Orphynn attempts to use her immense strength to push Bones backwards into the ropes but the man catches her by the wrist and twists around into a Hammerlock, wrenching hard. Orphynn goes for the same reversal she’s used to get out of this from Bones before but on this night, Bones moves with her, staying behind the powerhouse to keep her from slipping her head under his arm. She throws a back elbow but Bones ducks his head down, bringing it back up and twists her arm even tighter. Orphynn grabs her shoulder, realizing her usual defense is failing her but she bites through the pain and goes for another back elbow but she twists further back and catches Bones in a side headlock. Orphynn wrenches her arm free from behind her and brings Bones down with a Headlock Takeover but, within seconds, Bones kips up, sliding his head free and turns to his opponent, reaching down and grabbing her by the boots. He starts to quickly step around for a Figure Four Leglock but Orphynn gets one foot free and shoves him towards the corner. Bones catches himself on the ropes and hits an Up And Over as Orphynn charges in behind him. Bones lands on his feet and rolls backwards across the mat, He comes charging in, diving at her for a Corner Splash but Orphynn catches him in a Bearhug and runs across the ring, slamming him into the opposite turnbuckle. With Bones momentum slowed down, Orphynn locks her hands around his neck and Choke Tosses him out of the corner across the mat. Bones hits the mat and pops back up but Orphynn comes barreling in with a Running Shoulder Tackle. She picks Bones up again, lifting him up for a Delayed Vertical Suplex. Orphynn walks around the ring with her opponent up, displaying her strength to the fans. She even flexes one arm before grabbing Bones with that hand again and shows off a little more with a squat, wowing the crowd, finally dropping back and slamming Bones to the mat with a thunderous impact. Orphynn floats over for the pin!


Bones kicks out before two and the crowd can’t believe it. Neither can Orphynn as she sits up and looks down at him with a look of surprise that grows into a tiny smile. She picks him up again, and throws him into the ropes, coming off the opposite side but Bones ducks and the two hit the ropes again, Bones springing off the ropes as Orphynn charges off of her side and Bones looks for a Springboard European Uppercut but Orphynn blasts him out of the air with a Running Lariat! Bones lies out on the mat, writhing to try and get up as Orphynn steps in and pulls him up between her legs, looking for a Powerbomb but as she lifts him up, he counters into a Sunset Flip Rollup for a pin of his own, keeping a tight hold on her legs, even planting his feet to ground himself.


Orphynn kicks out with a thrust of her hips and shoves Bones back. Orphynn rolls up to her feet and the two charge in at each other, colliding with each other with a pair of lariats. Orphynn rushes in again and Bones knocks her back with a European Uppercut! Orphynn staggers! Bones runs off the ropes and Orphynn catches him with a Side Slam into the mat. Orphynn goes to the top rope now, leaving the crowd wondering just what she’s doing as Bones slowly scrambles to his feet. He barely registers where Orphynn is before she comes launching herself off the top with a Diving Shoulder Block, taking him down to the mat followed by a hook of the leg!


Kickout by Bones again and Orphynn picks him up to his feet, keeping a tight hold of him. She pulls him in under her arm and plants him with a Leg Hook DDT, spiking his head into the mat. Orphynn keeps her grip on the man as she rolls back up to her feet and rotates him around. The crowd reacts as Orphynn starts setting him up for “Annihilate” but Bones drops down, sagging his legs out to sit on the mat and keep her from getting him up. Orphynn, however, grabs him by the waist of his shorts and just powers him up in a deadlift. Bones rotates through and lands behind her, however! He shoves her into the ropes! Bones staggers back into the opposite side of the ropes and launches off as Orphynn comes back and he takes her down with a Slingblade! Orphynn hits the mat and gets to her feet! Bones takes her down with another Slingblade! Orphynn sits up and Bones comes rushing in from behind with a Running Neck Snap! Orphynn hits the mat and propels back into a sitting position and Bones comes off the ropes for a Basement Dropkick! He hooks her legs over for a cover!


Orphynn kicks out in time before three and Bones sits up, in a bit of disbelief that quickly fades into acceptance. He knows it’s gonna truly take more to keep her down than just that. Bones picks Orphynn up and holds her by the back of the head. He almost looks conflicted in his decision before going through with it and starts racking his shin repeatedly into her head with a set of Kawada Kicks. He finishes off with a Knee Lift and finishes off with a Pele Kick. Orphynn stumbles and Bones comes off the ropes again but Orphynn snatches him off the mat for a Spinning Spinebuster! Slams him into the canvas! She stacks for the cover!


Bones gets the shoulder up and, in the process, wraps his legs around Orphynn’s head and an arm, locking her into a Triangle Choke! Or as he’s started calling it…

Seth Ernst: CROSSBONES!!!! CROSSBONES ON ORPHYNN!!!!

Miranda Augustino: AYO, THAT WAS OUTTA NOWHERE, CARNAL!!

Lucas Knox: WHAT A MANEUVER!!!

Orphynn realizes the predicament she’s in and tries her usual slipout but it looks like Bones has been practicing how to properly administer this move and it’s paying off! She starts beating into the side of his leg but Bones asserts his grip around her head with one hand and uses his other arm to catch her attacking arm and trap it against his leg to prevent her defense! He wrenches back tight!

Miranda Augustino: Orphynn’s got nowhere to go, boys! This could be it!

Lucas Knox: Jimmy Bones is showing a massive improvement in his execution! This might be just what he needs to overcome Today’s Warrior!

Seth Ernst: I try to be unbiased and I got all the respect in the world for this young lady, but c’mon Jimmy! C’mon!

Bones wrenches tight, squeezing Orphynn in the Crossbones as hard as he can. Still unable to beat her way out of it, Orphynn starts to look like she’s fading when she manages to get her feet on the mat and, unsurprisingly at this point, she powers him up onto her shoulders. Bones realizes the predicament he’s in as Orphynn runs forward and bounces him off of the cage wall. The cage rattles as Orphynn bounces Bones off, turns and runs back to the center of the ring for a big Sitout Powerbomb where she holds for the pin.


Bones throws his shoulder up just in time and Orphynn’s torn between disbelief and impressed as she lays back on the mat to catch her breath. Chicago’s on their feet now with dueling chants.

Crowd: LET’S GO JIMMY!

Crowd: LET’S GO ORPHYNN!

Crowd: LET’S GO JIMMY!

Crowd: LET’S GO ORPHYNN!

Lucas Knox: Listen to this crowd! You love to hear it!

Miranda Augustino: Hard to believe Jimmy Bones still has his doubters!

Seth Ernst: I think this whole arena’s just appreciating the effort of both, this young man and this young lady! They’re killing it out here!

Then the crowd starts to boo….

Lucas Knox: You speak too soon, Seth?

Miranda Augustino: Aww nah, what the hell is this now?

The camera cuts to the walkway to the ring where Pandemonia and Caelynna are seen making their way to ringside. The fans in the front row boo and jeer at them, knowing why they’re here. The ringside referees see the pair approaching and immediately move in to intercept them. They try to push the two women back up towards the stage but Caelynna manages to slip her tiny self past them while Pandemonia throws all care to the wind and just shoves them to the floor. The One Woman Horde marches up to the cage door and starts pulling on it as the referees start to get back to their feet, trying to call Pandemonia off. One referee informs her that she isn’t getting in without the key to which he slaps his pocket and stops. He pats his pocket again and reaches inside, shocked to come out empty handed. Just then, Caelynna raises up her hand and wiggles the missing key in her fingers.

Seth Ernst: Caelynna’s got the key to the cage!

Lucas Knox: How did she get that?!

Miranda Augustino: That sneaky little Diablillo!

Caelynna: YUH-YUH!

Caelynna moves to the cage door and starts unlocking the lock and pulling the chain loose while Pandemonia effortlessly shoves the two outside referees away. Inside the cage, Orphynn and Bones are both back up on their feet and have noticed the intruders at ringside; both competitors now standing side by side, backed across the ring in the corner, looking between the door and at each other. What do they even do in this situation?!

Seth Ernst: This isn’t supposed to happen like this!

Caelynna gets the cage door open and Pandemonia’s the first one in, storming inside as Caelynna climbs up onto the turnbuckle and perches on it behind Pandemonia with her hands on the larger woman’s shoulders. Pandemonia gives a sinister grin as she slams the cage door shut and Caelynna reapplies the chain and locks it from the inside. Orphynn and Jimmy Bones give each other a final look before Orphynn brings up a fist. Bones takes a deep breath and knocks knuckles with her…and the two dash forward at the two intruding wrestlers!!!

Lucas Knox: AND HERE WE GO!!!!

Orphynn and Pandemonia collide in a furious exchange of fists as Caelynna dives off of the turnbuckle, soaring over the two powerhouses and pounces down on top of Jimmy Bones in a Thesz Press, punching and scratching at him! Orphynn manages to beat Pandemonia back into a corner but Pandemonia fights back with a big headbutt that rocks Orphynn and sends her staggering back and turning. She sees Caelynna on Bones and grabs the smaller woman by her legs and pulls her up into a Wheelbarrow hold, looking to throw her into a German Suplex right into Pandemonia. Caelynna’s sent flying but lands right in Pandemonia’s arms as Orphynn helps Bones up. Both competitors of the match turn just in time to see that Pandemonia has maneuvered Caelynna up onto her shoulder like a bazooka and the woman runs forward, Lawn Darting her smaller colleague right at the two where Caelynna slams into Bones and Orphynn in a double clothesline! Outside the ring, the two referees fight desperately to get the cage door open but neither of them have a spare key as the brawl inside the ring continues.

Seth Ernst: Something’s gotta give! We need some help out here!

Outside the cage, General Manager LeeAnn Viskan herself has arrived, screaming at the two referees to get the door open. When she realizes they can’t, she shouts at Pandemonia and Caelynna inside. Pandemonia leans forward, hands on her knees with a wicked smile and waves tauntingly at Viskan before throwing her the finger. She grabs up a dazed Jimmy Bones and runs him right up into the cage on that side, face first, bouncing his head off the steel. Bones falls to the mat, holding his head. Caelynna, meanwhile, has Orphynn in the corner, choking her with her boot at the bottom turnbuckle. Pandemonia walks over and pats her partner’s back to call her off so she, herself, can pick Orphynn up by the hair. We can’t hear what she’s taunting her with over the crowd’s jeers before she runs Orphynn face first up into the cage as wall. Orphynn staggers back, managing to stay on her feet as Pandemonia runs off the ropes and hits the “Battle Axe (Clothesline From Hell)”, knocking Orphynn to the mat. She picks her up again and lifts her across her shoulders for “Brutal Critical (F-5)”...BUT JIMMY BONES IS BACK UP AND HE COMES IN WITH A DESPERATION CHOP BLOCK TO THE BACK OF HER KNEE! CAELYNNA POUNCES ON HIM BUT IT’S TOO LATE TO STOP THE SAVE AND THE TWO START TRADING BLOWS!

Lucas Knox: Jimmy Bones made the save for Orphynn!

Miranda Augustino: Of course he did!

Seth Ernst: Neither of these two want this match to end with an unfair advantage!

Lucas Knox: Now look at Orphynn!

The chop block to Pandemonia’s left Today’s Warrior able to slip down behind The One Woman Horde and hook an arm across her face! She lifts her up! “ANNIHILATE (REVERSE IMPLANT DDT)” TO THE MAT!! Meanwhile, Caelynna rakes the eyes of Jimmy Bones and he staggers back. She runs to the ropes and Springboards back off of them, sailing through the air at him but Bones catches her in his own Fireman’s Carry!!!! “FUCK YOUR NECK (USHIGOROSHI)!!!”

Seth Ernst: ORPHYNN AND BONES TAKING THE FIGHT BACK TO THE INVADING FORCE!!!

At that moment, more referees have flooded ringside with one of them bringing a pair of bolt cutters to cut the chain off and they finally get the door open. It takes about three…no, four…no…five! Five referees grab Pandemonia by the feet and pull her out of the ring as she claws at the mat, trying to get back up and get at Orphynn again!! Meanwhile, Orphynn picks Caelynna up and Military Presses her over her shoulders, turning towards the open door to the cage. Caelynna looks around in surprise.

Caelynna: PANDEMONIA!!!!

Pandemonia looks up into the ring as she tries to fight the mob of referees off, keeping her from getting back inside the ring.

Caelynna: CATCH MEEEEE!!!

Caelynna yells as Orphynn runs and launches her through the cage opening, down on top of Pandemonia and the referees, causing a gaggle of bodies to hit the floor. LeeAnn Viskan, still at ringside, slams the cage door closed again as Pandemonia and Caelynna are dragged away, fighting, from ringside. Orphynn turns her attention back to Bones and leans back in the corner, blood trickling down her face from a cut in her forehead. Across from her, Bones leans back in a corner, the unpainted side of his face completely streaked in blood. The referee inside the cage looks to both of them, asking if they can both even continue or should he stop the match? Both competitors look at each other and shake their heads, telling him to let it keep going. Chicago roars their approval at the mutual decision.

Seth Ernst: This match is gonna continue, ladies and gentlemen!

Miranda Augustino: Yes!!!!

Lucas Knox: We love to see it!

Miranda Augustino: ¡Simón, carnal!

Orphynn and Bones stagger towards each other, exhausted and battered from a mix of their initial back and forth then the brutal two on two they had just been forced into. Orphynn brings her hands up and Bones sticks his out, palms up. Orphynn slaps his hands and Bones returns the gesture of sportsmanship. The pair take one step back then lunge in, locking up collar and elbow. They jockey for position and Bones slips around behind Orphynn for a rear waistlock but Orphynn slides her thumbs down under Bones’ wrists and pops her hips, breaking the hold. She arm wrings him and drives her shoulder into his a few times. Bones staggers and Orphynn slings him towards the ropes for an Irish Whip but Bones runs up the ropes and catches himself on the cage wall itself before launching himself off with a huge aerial European Uppercut!! Orphynn takes that one, looking more rocked than usual and Bones seems to realize a strategy to overcome her power now as he looks around at the cage they’re in. Orphynn stabilizes her footing and comes at him for a Running Lariat but Bones slips under her arm and jumps up onto the cage again, holding onto it, higher than the ropes and pushes off, springing off the cage for a big Missile Dropkick that takes Orphynn down to the mat! Bones scrambles up to his feet, wiping the blood out of his eyes before reaching for Orphynn again. He looks for an Irish Whip but she reverses it, sending him into the ropes and he comes launching back. She scoops him up for a Spinning Spinebuster but Bones gets his feet planted to the mat for the save! He pulls Orphynn in and scoops her across his shoulders, looking for Fuck Your Neck but Orphynn manages to rotate through and land on her feet. She runs forward into the ropes and comes back off for a Running Lariat but Bones leaps up and catches her outta nowhere with “DROP OUT (RKO)!!!!” Orphynn and Bones hit the mat hard with it not looking like he got all of it as Orphynn rolls away, haphazardly, and pretty dazed but still in it. Bones watches her, eyes wide and anxious as he gets into position. Orphynn pushes herself up to her feet with the roaring crowd and turns back towards Bones again. He jumps in for a second “Drop Out” but Orphynn shoves him into the ropes! He bounds back into her arms! She lifts him up for “ANNIHILATE”--BUT HE TWISTS AROUND AND LANDS ON HIS FEET, SLIPPING FREE JUST BARELY! BONES AND ORPHYNN SEPARATE! ANOTHER “DROP OUT” TO ORPHYNN AND THIS TIME BONES COVERS, HOOKING BOTH LEGS ON A WING AND A PRAYER!!!!



Isabella Salvatore: Here is your winner….JIMMY…BONES!!

Seth Ernst: He’s done it!! Ladies and gentlemen, Jimmy Bones has done it!!

Miranda Augustino: Get on your fucking feet!!

Miranda’s the first one up out of her chair, applauding the two in the ring, soon joined by Seth and Lucas. The cage around the ring raises up as the referee helps Jimmy Bones to his feet to raise his arm but he soon pulls his arm away and goes to Orphynn who’s gradually getting up herself. The two stand in the center of the ring, watching each other as Orphynn realizes the music playing. She can’t help but smile as she looks to Bones, saying ”You did it!” Bones reaches out for a handshake. Orphynn looks at the hand then back up to him with a “really?” look on her face, swatting his hand aside and the two step into a hug, much to the crowd’s approval. Orphynn raises Bones’ hand before wrapping an arm around him, allowing him to hang an arm over her shoulders to lean on for support. A moment later, LeeAnn Viskan joins the pair in the ring to pay respects to both of them. A handshake to both Orphynn and Bones before she gives the latter a long look and slowly nods, saying something to him. Bones looks relieved and Orphynn smiles big, applauding as the post match celebration continues.

Isabella Salvatore: Ladies and gentlemen…the following match is for the NFW United States Championship and is scheduled for one fall!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Isabella Salvatore: Introducing first…she weighs in at one hundred and forty pounds and hails from Greensboro, North Carolina. Representing The Kingdom…
The synthesized intro of "Big Bad Wolf" begins matched shortly by the drums and the lights of the arena fade to darkness. A eerie purple glow begins to appear on the stage as the guitar strums kick in the words "Even in these chains you can't stop me" repeated four times with a loud drum strike after each one. After the fourth the guitars and drums kick in full force and the words "The Fanged Rose" appears on the screen with the well known red eyes of the Matthews "Reptile" behind it.

and this dirty little piggy

lives inside of me.

You see every and then

I forget which one I want

and which one I need.

I have come to realize

that both of them have become a necessity.

I now have come to realize

that I become which animal I choose to feed!"

As Maria shrieks the follow up The Fanged Rose comes through the curtain. The black coat buckled around her throat with the hood up shadowing her face. She steps to where the stage and the ramp meet she drops into a kneel with a hand on the ramp.

Even in these chains, you won't break me!

Even in these chains, you won't take me!

Even in these chains, you won't hold me PIG!"

Each line she bobs lightly until the final word and Jasmine shoots up straight throwing the hood back from her face and letting out a bestial shriek before she sprints to the ring and sides under the ropes. She pops back up and marchs to the turnbuckle where she climbs to the top, throws one leg over to balance herself and lifts a single fist into the air.

Isabella Salvatore: She is the challenger…The Fanged Rose…JASMINE MATTHEWS!!
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.

Isabella Salvatore: Making her way to the ring…being accompanied by Seleana Zdunich…weighing in at one hundred and fifteen pounds…born in Detroit Michigan, representing Los Angeles, California…


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 waits for the match to start.

Isabella Salvatore: She is the NFW United States Champion…The Winter Rose…CRYSTAL ZDUNICH!!
Jasmine and Crystal wasted no time in locking up in the middle of the ring, battling for control early on in the match. Matthews managed to get control when she threw Hilton into the ropes before going for a knife edge chop. Crystal managed to duck under Jasmine’s arm before ultimately hitting the ropes behind her. Matthews turned around as Hilton came running back towards her, catching her with a snapmare. The move didn’t keep Jasmine down long as she popped back up. Crystal turned around to face Jasmine and was caught with a huge spear that left her crumpled on the mat for a few moments. Hilton began getting back to her feet, but Matthews didn’t give her the chance before she pulled her up. Crystal threw a few punches at Jasmine, but they were easily dodged by the other woman before she threw her into the corner hard. Matthews followed Hilton, nailing a running dropkick onto the woman.

Seth Ernst: Jasmine Matthews is really bringing it to Crystal Hilton this evening.

Miranda Augustino: Neither of these women are strangers to championships, and they’re looking to prove it here tonight.

Lucas Knox: The question is…which of these two hard hitters will come out on top tonight?

Jasmine was quick back to her feet, going to grab Crystal, but Hilton was able to fight her off! Hilton looked behind her and leapt onto the middle turnbuckle, waiting for Jasmine to turn around towards her. Once Matthews had turned around, Hilton leapt out of the corner to hit a beautiful springboard hurricarana. Jasmine hit the mat hard as Crystal rolled away from her. Both women got back to their feet, their eyes narrowed at one another. Hilton quickly charged at Matthews, but Jasmine had one up on her and hit her with a hard strike of her knee. The impact stopped Crystal in her tracks, even knocked her back several steps in the process. Hilton shook her head but went at Matthews again, looking for a hard punch that was ducked. As she turned around to face Jasmine, Crystal was nailed with The Strike, sending her to the mat hard. Jasmine went for a quick cover, and the referee slid to the mat.

ONE…

TW-

Crystal managed to get a shoulder up at one and a half! A brief look of irritation passed over Jasmine’s face before she grabbed Crystal. She threw several braced knee strikes into Crystal’s side before getting up to walk around the downed champion. Hilton was holding her side where Matthews had caught her with the knee strikes before slowly making her way to the ropes. Jasmine went to grab Crystal again, but the champion threw a few well timed kicks at her challenger, managing to get her off before pulling up with the ropes. Matthews came charging at Hilton, but the champion thought quickly and dropped down, pulling the top rope with her. Jasmine tumbled over the rope but managed to catch herself before she tumbled to the floor. The two exchanged lefts and rights back and forth, the crowd’s anticipation building as the hits got quicker. Crystal got a couple of quick hits back-to-back then flipped Jasmine back over the rope, slamming her against the mat hard.

Seth Ernst: Crystal is determined not to let Jasmine take the United States title from her.

Miranda Augustino: Determination will only get Hilton so far against someone like Matthews, though.

Lucas Knox: You never know…that’s one of the things that led some of the greats to be who they are and were.

Both women were on their feet again, the wear and tear of the match getting to both of them. Crystal ran at Jasmine and hit her with a snapmare before catching her with a dropkick, sending her falling back to the mat fully. Hilton managed to pop back up to her feet before going for Smell the Roses, but Matthews got her knees up just in time! The champion rolled away from her challenger, holding her waist as Jasmine got back up to her feet. Matthews watched Hilton closely, backing up from her some while waiting for her to get back to her feet. Slowly but surely, Crystal once again used the ropes to get up and began to turn around. As she finally got to where she was facing Matthews, Hilton was met with a hellacious Ice Cold! She dropped to the mat where Jasmine quickly pinned her, and the referee slid down once more.

ONE…

TWO…

THRE-

Crystal managed to get her shoulder up at the last second! She was still in the match much to Jasmine’s dismay! Matthews slammed Hilton’s head back against the mat before getting to her feet, wondering to herself what it would take to keep the champion down. Crystal began pulling herself up, using the ropes to do so as she slightly glared in Jasmine’s direction. She leaned against the ropes for a few seconds, trying to take a breather, but Matthews wasn’t giving Hilton that luxury. With Jasmine coming at her, Crystal glanced at the ropes then back at Jasmine before jumping onto them, hitting a springboard clothesline on the oncoming woman to stop her and send her down. Hilton jumped to her feet, getting her balance as she waited for Jasmine to get up as well. Once Jasmine was up, Crystal nailed her with a vicious Permafrost before she quickly climbed the ropes, leaping off to execute a beautiful Winter is Coming, pinning Jasmine.

ONE…

TWO…

THREE…!!

Jasmine got her shoulder up just a few milliseconds too late! Crystal had managed to retain the title!
Isabella Salvatore: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner…and STILL the NFW United States Champion…CRYSTAL HILTON!!!

Crystal’s celebration of retaining the title, soaking in the fans’ cheers was suddenly cut short as she was nailed from behind. The cheers quickly turned to loud boos and jeers when they saw Kūali’i Tofilau standing behind the champion, looking at her downed form with a smirk. Hilton shook her head from the hit, but before she could get up herself, Kūali’i lifted her up. He hit a brutal In Fifth Gear! The crowd’s boos grew louder as he returned to hit feet, leaning down to pick the United States Championship up. He stood over the downed champion with a smirk as he held the title up before finally dropping it on Hilton’s body. With a final smirk, he walked over to the ropes and exited the ring, not bothering to look back as he made his way up the ramp.

Winner: Crystal Hilton (#ANDSTILL)
Result: Pinfall (Winter is Coming)

It's been an intense night of action so far, but the crowd are buzzing as we get to the main event. Cutting back to the ring, where Isabella Salvatore stands in the center of the ring, glancing around nervously for a moment before she raises the microphone.

Isabella Salvatore: Ladies and Gentlemen it is time for the MAAAAAAIN EVENT of the evening! The following contest will be scheduled for ONE FALL and it is for the N! F! W! CHAMPIONSHIP!


As Isabella finishes, the lights in the arena cut out and a familiar guitar riff kicks in. Some strobe lights flash around the crowd, the moment building and as the guitar riff kicks into a higher gear from the back out bursts ‘The Dragon’ Travis Levitt! The challenger is looking fired up as he waves at the fans, demanding they get up and roar, and they quickly do just that. Levitt goes from one side of the stage to the other, and then comes back to the center of the stage, standing tall with a look around at the fans, and then dropping to a single knee, putting his fist on the stage as the lights fade out some more.


And as the words finish Travis bursts straight up, fists raised high and two pillars of fire pyro exploding alongside him, and Travis screams out “FLAME ON!”. The Dragon stands tall amidst the pillars until they cut out a moment later and then Travis looks at a nearby camera, putting his fist out and gently tapping the lens before he starts to walk down the ramp, slapping hands with some fans as he goes.

Isabella Salvatore: Introducing first, the challenger! Hailing from Richmond, Virginia and standing in at Six Feet, Five Inches tall. He is ‘The Dragon’ TRAAAAAAVIS LEVVVVVIIIITTTT!

Travis reaches the ring, staring at the ropes for a moment and then glancing around the coliseum slowly, before he leans forward to slap his hands on the steel, nodding his head and then springing up the steps and between the ropes. Dashing to a corner, he climbs to a middle rope, posing for the fans for a few moments and then making the belt motion around his waist as his music fades out.

Seth Ernst: Travis looking just a little nervous here, right before the biggest match of his NFW career so far.

Miranda Augustino: Whatever happens tonight, The Dragon asked for it. He called out the Champion, and this is his reward!


The arena dims considerably, with the lights around the screen and stage going completely dark. There are some flashes in the crowd, some lit-up cell phones to try and break through the manufactured murk, but there is nothing to see at all once the big screen goes black as well. A few moments of silence commences, followed by the haunting guitars of the classic Black Sabbath song "God is Dead?" hauntingly emanating through the Coliseum's PA system. Smoke starts to billow from the stage at the top of the ramp and a single, murky spotlight shines down on a darkened figure standing there. Ozzy Osbourne's voice, every bit as haunting as the music behind it, starts singing as the figure, revealed as Damon Cross, starts making his way down the ramp.

Isabella Salvatore: And now, the Champion! Hailing from The French Quarter, and standing at Five Feet, Eleven Inches Tall. He is the N! F! W! CHAMPION! ‘The Godkiller’ DAMOOOON CROOOSSSSSS

Reaching the ring without so much as a glance to the crowd at large, he looks left, then right, then grabs the ropes and hauls himself up onto the apron, stepping between the ropes and moving to a neutral corner of the ring as the music hardens. The spotlight follows, but nothing gets beneath the hood until Damon throws it back. Removing the sleeveless jacket, he tosses it aside along with his silver wolf's head cane and awaits the start of the match. No gestures to the fans, no acknowledgement of their reactions or lack thereof. The lights come back on and The Unforgiven has yet to move... as if the sound of the bell is the only thing that will rouse him from his fugue state.

Seth Ernst: And the champion is as focused as ever. Barely any sign that his title is even on the line tonight.

Lucas Knox: He’s the NFW Champion for good reason, Seth. When that bell rings, he becomes Legendary Difficulty. Travis better have bought some cheat codes.
With the bell rung, both men instantly start across the ring, meeting in the middle for a collar and elbow, that Damon immediately switches into a side headlock. The Champ’s grip is tight, but Travis still tries to pull his head out, only for Damon to tighten his grip and keep Levitt in place. The Dragon scowls and then tries to push back and free again, but this time Cross hops on the spot and breaks Travis’s attempts to squirm free. Travis starts trying to turn his body, a foot reaching out for the ropes and finally hooking a foot on the bottom rope. The referee spots it, and smacks Cross’s arm, demanding he release the headlock, and after a few moments he does, letting go of Travis, only to turn quickly and slap Levitt right across the face! The Dragon’s face whips back for just a moment before he turns back to see the referee pushing Cross back, and Damon leaning over his shoulder and screaming at Levitt about him not being on his level. Travis reaches up to wipe at his lips, and then looks back up at Cross, anger slowly rising in his gaze. The referee turns back to see Travis stepping away from the ropes and gets out of Cross’s way, letting both men start to circle each other again. Once again the two men meet in the center and go for a collar-and-elbow, but Levitt ducks under it, and as Dante turns around, Levitt drills him with a right hand to the jaw, then seizes Cross by the scruff of his neck and unleashes three rapid European Uppercuts across the champion’s jaw, sending him reeling back into the ropes, and Levitt charges forward, drilling Cross with a stiff clothesline, and sending him tumbling from the ring and crashing down at ringside. Travis can sense the momentum now, taking two steps sideways and leaping up, screaming out at the Coliseum faithful who roar right back at him. Levitt turns to see Cross resting against the barricade, and Levitt hops to the mat, and then sits his on the middle rope, pushing up the top rope, and waving at Cross to get back in the ring!

Cross stares at Travis for a moment, but he finally merely shakes his head and starts to stroll around ringside, and Travis hops off the middle rope, looking to follow Cross out but finds himself stopped by the referee. The referee gently guides Levitt back from the ropes, and The Dragon raises his hands and backs up, allowing the referee to turn and start counting Cross out, only for Levitt to drop and roll out the side of the ring, race around, and as Cross turns to yell at the referee, he gets drilled with a clothesline by Levitt! Travis doesn’t give Cross a chance to recover, dragging the Godkiller up, hefting him up, and then charging and crushing him back first into the barricade. The challenger seizes Cross by the back of his neck and rolls him back into the ring, before climbing in after him, and as Cross goes to crawl away, Levitt drops an elbow on his back, slumping him back down once more. The Dragon pushes back to his feet, before reaching down to drag Damon up, and then hoisting the NFW Champion up over his shoulder, and with a two step run up, he slams Cross down with a powerslam, and then hooks a leg as the referee slides into place.


Cross kicks out easily, and Levitt sits up on his knees, taking a moment to catch some breath before he pushes back to his feet. He goes to drag Cross up, but the Godkiller barely reaches his knees before he seizes Levitt by the back of the neck, and then drops down, catching him with a jawbreaker. Levitt stumbles back clutching at his jaw, and Cross springs up, and as Levitt stumbles back towards him, Cross grabs Travis and drops him with a snap suplex. The champion climbs back to his feet, giving the downed Levitt a look, before he steps over and climbs out to the apron. Sizing up where Levitt has landed, Cross grips the top rope and then slingshots himself back in and comes crashing down with a leg drop right across Travis’ neck. Cross quickly turns and hooks a leg as the referee slides into place.


Travis manages to drape a free arm across the bottom rope, and the referee spots it, stopping the count at two. Damon looks over to the rope and shakes his head, slowly climbing back to his feet and reaching down to drag Travis back up. Pulling Travis into a headlock, Damon grins as he hooks both of Levitt’s arms, calling for his Dragonfire DDT, but Levitt fights out, freeing his arms and then brings Cross up and dropping him with a back body drop! Levitt collapses to his knees from the exertion, clutching at his sore neck, and he is caught completely off-guard as Cross makes it back to his feet, and then wraps an arm around Travis’s throat and yanks him to the mat with a rear-naked choke! Chicago roars at the force in the choke from Cross, who is squeezing down hard on Levitt’s neck, while The Dragon is trying to roll his body free of Cross’s grip. Levitt manages to pivot his body reaching out to grab the bottom rope and now the referee demands Cross release the hold, but the Godkiller keeps it on until the referee counts 4 and then finally releases it.

The NFW Champion climbs up, taking a moment to step around the ring, running a hand through his hair and looking back down at Levitt who has rolled himself out onto the apron. Cross steps back towards the downed challenger, watching as he grabs the ropes to pull himself up, only for Cross to pop him with a right hand to the jaw through the ropes, and then grab Travis by his head, and tug him through, an arm wrapped around Levitt’s neck, with The Dragon’s feet on the middle rope, and Cross stands there proudly posing for a moment, and then drives Travis down on top of his head with the Spike DDT! The Champion watches Levitt squirm on the spot, chuckling softly before calling for the end of everything. Climbing back to his feet, Cross seizes Levitt by the back of his wounded neck and drags him to the center of the ring, before setting Travis in a pump-handle for the Weight Of The World! With Chicago roaring, Cross hoists Levitt up, spinning him around and goes to drop him on his head….but Levitt drops his arms and plants his hands on the mat, breaking the momentum Cross had built up, and leaving the two men in a firm standstill for a long moment!

Levitt breaks the standstill, catching a shocked Cross off-guard and wrapping his legs tightly around Cross’s neck, before The Dragon shocks everyone when he swings his two hundred and fifty pound body around, and sends Cross crashing to the mat with a hurricanrana! That may just be the first and only hurricanrana of Levitt’s career, and the force sends Cross rolling right out of the ring, buying The Dragon a few precious needed moments. Cross is back to his feet, turning to see Levitt pushing up on his knees, and Cross slides back in, charges, and dives forward to try and drill a knee into the side of Levitt’s head, but The Dragon rolls aside and Cross hits nothing. Cross springs up and turns back towards Levitt, only to be caught with a foot right to the gut, and the rising Dragon underhooks both of Cross’s arms, lets out a deep roar, and then hoists Damon up and drives him into the mat with Renee’s Rise! An exhausted Dragon flips himself over and drops an arm across Cross’ chest as the referee hits the mat.


Cross kicks out! Chicago gasps at the kickout, but neither man is moving for a moment, until finally there’s signs of life as they each start to climb to their exhausted feet. Travis drags himself up in a corner, leaning back against the turnbuckles, and resting a hand on the back of his neck as he watches Cross push up, and when Damon reaches his feet, Travis darts in quickly and unleashes a nasty knife-edge chop right across Damon's chest. The Godkiller only winces for a moment before slugging Travis right back with a right hand of his own, and the two men trade shots, each shot coming quicker and quicker until Damon blocks a right hand and unleashes three shots to Travis’ jaw, sending him back into the ropes. Cross pushes on Levitt and goes to send him across the ring, but Levitt slams on the brakes and yanks Cross in, cracking him with a firm headbutt that sends Cross tumbling back to the corner. Levitt spots Cross and a grin crosses his face as The Dragon turns to hustle back to the far corner, roaring loudly and then charging in, leaping up for St George’s Splash....and Cross ducks to the side, watching Travis crash down on the steel!

Levitt stumbles back, clutching at his chest and the champion seizes his chance, darting behind The Dragon and quickly tying The Dragon up in Father’s Sin! The crowd gasp, as Levitt flails in the hold, his taller body allowing him to try and stretch for the ropes, but The Champion merely tightens his arms, forcing Levitt down to one knee! The Godkiller has that katahajime in tight and Levitt’s raised arm starts to fade, as the referee moves in to check on him. The referee grabs at Levitt’s wrist, raising his hand and going to drop it, but Levitt’s fist suddenly clenches and The Dragon roars out, trying to shake himself loose. Cross has planted his feet, leaning right over Levitt with the hold on deep, but The Dragon lets out a roar of pure strength, and pushes himself back to his feet. Shaking in the hold, Levitt is already wheezing, but the Dragon suddenly charges the corner, planting foot on the middle rope, and then pushing backward and flipping over with it, keeping himself trapped n that Father’s Sin, but swinging his body over so Cross’s shoulders are on the mat as the referee dives in to make the count!


Cross releases the hold, letting Levitt finish his roll, landing on his face, and The Godkiller rolls backwards, landing on Levitt’s back and quickly locking back in Father’s Sin now seated on Levitt’s back! Levitt’s face is rapidly going red, and The Dragon has nowhere to go, his last gambit leaving himself locked in to that katahajime tightly, and with a final glance at the referee Levitt reaches up and starts slapping Cross’s arm, giving up and saving himself for another day. The referee is quickly calling for the bell, and Cross releases the hold as it rings.
The referee goes to get Cross his belt, handing the Godkiller his gold and he merely smiles as he takes it. Running a hand through his hair and then slowly raising the title, taking his victory lap as he retains the gold.

Seth Ernst: Well Travis brought a tough fight, but there is simply no beating Damon Cross right now!

Miranda Augustino: There’s a reason he’s the NFW Champion, Seth. He’s that damn good.
