Ayu Megumi: I'll be honest, my silence was because I was angry that someone would rob me of my victory like that. And I probably wouldn't feel so angry if I was robbed of my first win this year. But this year it happened to me twice. And in two rounds combined I still couldn't be champion for an hour. It's the reason why I'm so angry and it's not my fault. But I understand the reason for it. Therefore I will not blame the person who took my championship away from me. That one is the reward of my hard work. I always said that one day it would be my day. And I've done it. But since its stay with me was too short It's time to show the world once again who really is on top of the world of New Frontier Wrestling. I've proven myself once and for all. And no one can erase what I did. After this is learning and editing to improve myself. Because right now my only goal is to return as a challenger to Lana Corvin, the person who took the championship from me twice. And this time, I wasn't going to stay low for long. Lana Corvin would know my hunger and commitment to being New Frontier Wrestling's World Champion, and I could make it happen for Lana. Know that she can't beat me forever.
Ayu Megumi: Lana, I'm going to be honest with you. Congratulations on defeating me again and for the second time you hurt me. especially the latest But it is also your hard work. Even though I don't really like what's going on. But it's something I have to accept. But I want to say that you know I won't give up easily, right? You don't think I'm up to this, do you? Of course, I still haven't given up. Even though I have never won a single match against you. But it is the reason that makes me determined to make it happen one day. And especially now that you have the world champion with you. It makes me want to challenge you. This will be my new goal after you challenged me to take my championship twice. It's time for me to be a hunter. And now you are the hunted. I am on my path of redemption. I'll tell you I won't be here long. We'll meet again when I reach my destination. Wait for me there and I'll be back to challenge you for the New Frontier Champion. Now you are the power of this place. But I'm not from here. I'm still the future I have succeeded But I'm not stopping there. So next time I meet you I will defeat you and I will establish myself as an ace not only in trauma, but I will be the ace of New Frontier Wrestling and I will leave Lana Corvin as the relic of the past of New Frontier Wrestling.
Ayu Megumi: May you enjoy the rest of your time with New Frontier Champion. Enjoy the time you will insult and humiliate me. Because I'm telling you, you have less and less of that time left. Because I'm going back to get my New Frontier Champion back. And if you think you can defeat me a third time, But I won't make it happen. I work hard to get what I deserve. I've worked hard to become a New Frontier Champion. There's no way I can let someone like you want to destroy me be happy with my deserved championship for long. See you soon, Lana. See you in a better version of me.
Ayu finish her words before dropping the microphone before “LIKE IT! LOVE IT!” by Setsuna Yuki starting to play and Ayu greets her fans while she make her way back to the backstage before the scene fading away to commercial.

Match #1/Singles
Jimmy Bones vs. Phage
Before the match can even officially get started, Phage jumps into action while Jimmy Bones is up on the turnbuckles, playing to the crowd during his entrance. She hops up on the middle turnbuckle behind him, grabbing him around the waist and delivers a devastating Backdrop Driver down onto the mat! Bones lands right on his head and neck, immediately covering himself in pain as Phage stands up off of the mat. The referee gets in between them as she looms over Bones, yelling at her to chill out, back off and let Bones get ready but Phage responds by shoving them away and down to the mat before grabbing Bones to pick him up.Seth Ernst: This match hasn’t officially started yet and Phage just shoved the official!
Miranda Augustino: This woman is nuts, y’all!
Lucas Knox: That’s a massive understatement, Mir!
Still reeling from the sudden Driver to the mat, Bones isn’t able to collect his thoughts as Phage sets him up and delivers a brutal Gutwrench Powerbomb, driving him back down to the canvas. She stands again and starts putting the boots to him, laughing and taunting her designated opponent as he lies on the mat. The referee gets up and tries to call Phage off again, where she responds by kicking him low and shoving him to the mat again before moving to her corner to pick up her light tube club.
Lucas Knox: Now, this isn’t a hardcore match!
Miranda Augustino: This isn’t even a match yet! Who you telling?!
Sneering sadistically, Phage taps the club gently on the ropes and paces around to behind Bones before preparing to strike as she motions for him to get up. Unaware of the doom awaiting him, Bones drags himself to the corner and starts pulling himself on the ropes. The crowd tries to warn him about what Phage has ready for him but it’s unclear if he can even hear them, with his head likely ringing. Phage smiles under her mask, licking her lips in anticipation as she waits for him to make it up to the right position.
Seth Ernst: Oh god, get out of there. Jimmy, get outta there!
Lucas Knox: Wait a minute! Look who’s coming to step in!
The crowd pops loudly as EL DIABLO BLANCO comes sprinting from the tunnel with two steel chairs in his hands, rushing down towards the ring. He reaches ringside and throws one chair in underneath the ropes before baseball sliding in. Phage starts to take a step forward to swing but Blanco is quickly up on his feet, eyes on Phage with his steel chair brandished, ready to go.
Lucas Knox: The Leader of the Diablo Nation’s here to get his receipt!
Miranda Augustino: ¡Simón, carnal!
Seth Ernst: Phage made her debut, battering and bloodying El Diablo Blanco at Sudden Death but the Backyard Phenom is here in Chicago to pay it back in full!
Phage paces back and forth in front of Blanco and Bones. Blanco quickly looks back to Bones to check that he’s okay before putting his eyes right back on the woman in front of them. He points to the second steel chair on the mat, telling Bones to grab it which he does. Still hunched over in pain, Bones brandishes his own chair as the two stare back at Phage. With both men ready to go to war with her, Phage looks between the two, seemingly weighing the odds. Just when it looks like she’s about ready to spring into an attack, she raises her light tube club…and backs off, dropping down and rolling out of the ring, much to the jeers of the crowd who were looking forward to seeing a fight break out. She starts to pace around the outside of the ring, towards the walkway. Blanco gives Bones a tap on the shoulder and motions for him to get out of the corner and stay beside him as the two move around to the center of the ring, never taking their eyes off of La Luchadora Superviolenta. Phage starts to back up the walkway towards the stage, sneering at first but raises her light tube club to point directly at El Diablo Blanco and visibly smirks with evil intentions. She clearly mouths ”See you soon!” before turning and heading, not up to the stage but off to the area beside it and makes her way through the doors backstage.
Only when she’s out of sight, Blanco and Bones lower their chairs and the two men turn to each other with the latter thanking the former and clasping his hand. Bones and Blanco dap up and shake hands as the boos turn to cheers before Blanco walks over and checks on the referee as well.
Miranda Augustino: Well, so much for that opening match!
Lucas Knox: Yeah, but thank god for El D being here. Jimmy Bones might have wound up in some serious trouble!
Seth Ernst: Never a dull moment on Trauma, ladies and gentlemen!
Winner: N/A
Result: No Contest

“Diamond Princess” Danielle Page: Oh my God! I told you a million times already, V, everything is all good. I’m glad you got to go to France for a little bit with Grayson. You’re going to be back tomorrow night so you’ll have more than enough time to rest up for Cruel Summer. It’s not like anybody is going to bother me while I’m here in Chicago anyway.
Vanessa Page: I know you’re right, Dani…
“Diamond Princess” Danielle Page: Quit over thinking things, sis, and enjoy yourself because in just ten days we are going to be the new NFW Alliance Champions.
Vanessa Page: Hell yeah we will be!
Danielle turns a corner and stops in her tracks.
“Diamond Princess” Danielle Page: Let me call you back, V.
Vanessa Page: Why?!?! What’s going on?!?! Tell me now!!!
Danielle looks at Vanessa just as she is about to hang up and rolls her eyes.
“Diamond Princess” Danielle Page: Fine.
A smile comes over Vanessa’s face as Danielle looks at Kaydence.
“Diamond Princess” Danielle Page: Fancy seeing you here.
As the camera pans out, we see Kaydence Valentine, the manager of the Alliance Champions, waves at The Socialites.
Kaydence: Is that anyway to greet the manager of the reigning, defending, undisputed Alliance Champions. Congrats on becoming number one contenders by the way. Fun fact, I know you’ll remember this. How did the Kerry’s become number one contenders at Brawl of America?
Kaydence cracks a smile.
Kaydence: By beating you two... and your missing sister by the way. I don’t understand why you are so confident. You’re one less annoying Page sister down. By all means, tell me how Cruel Summer is going to be different. I’m waiting.
“Diamond Princess” Danielle Page: You’re waiting? That’s cute. Now if you actually paid attention you’d have seen that since Bianca is M.I.A then you would know that one of your clients will not be able to participate in the matchmaking is a two vs two match. So it’ll be a fair fight because we are well known rule followers. Hence why we beat three of the very best teams in NFW. So run along and tell your clients we’ll be waiting for them at Cruel Summer. Don’t forget to tell them to have our Alliance Championship belts ready to hand over to us when our match is all said and done.
Kaydence rolls her eyes.
Kaydence: Of course I’m aware this will be two on two. It could have been three on three. You could have brought Tiffany in. The outcome would be the same. When it comes to family supremacy, The Kerry’s are the end all be all. Everyone else is second place. In case you’re not paying attention...
Kaydence points two fingers at Vanessa and Danielle.
Kaydence: ... that means you two.
“Diamond Princess” Danielle Page: Wow and people think we’re delusional. Don’t worry Kaydence, we’ll set your minions straight at Cruel Summer.
Kaydence rolls her eyes at Danielle. Knowing she is clearly outnumbered in the situation, the manager of The Kerry’s spins on her heels and leaves. Danielle looks shocked as she looks at Vanessa on her phone.
“Diamond Princess” Danielle Page: Did you hear her? The audacity!
Vanessa Page: So rude!
“Diamond Princess” Danielle Page: Kaydence will get hers when we win the Alliance Championships at Cruel Summer and finally break those Kerry Kids.
Vanessa Page: You got that right.
“Diamond Princess” Danielle Page :And we will…
==========================================================
Otto Nova: “For two years...”
He begins, his voice low and tinged with a mix of exhaustion and determination.
Otto Nova: “I’ve been fighting to stay out of the shadow of mi madre, TARAH NOVA. The famous Matriarch of Hardcore Wrestling.
He pauses, lifting his head slightly but still obscured by his hair. The muffled sounds of the arena seem distant, like echoes of a past he’s trying to outrun.
Otto Nova: “People expected me to be just like her, to carry her legacy, to be the high-flying entertainer, the showstopper. And for a while, I was. I wanted to make her proud, to honor the NOVA name. But this world... this world isn’t what it seems.”
Otto shifts slightly, his hands clenched into fists as he continues speaking.
Otto Nova: “I’ve faced betrayal from those I thought were allies. I’ve formed bonds with those I never expected. I’ve learned the true cost of chasing greatness. It’s not just about winning matches; it’s about survival.”
His voice hardens, a steely edge creeping into his tone.
Otto Nova: “I realized that living in my mother’s shadow was slowly killing me. No matter how hard I fought, how high I flew, I was always ‘Tarah Nova’s Son,’ never just Otto. But that ends tonight.”
Slowly, Otto lifts his head fully, his eyes still hidden by his hair; creating an ominous shadow over his face.
Otto Nova: “This is a new chapter for me. I’m done trying to live up to someone else’s legacy. From now on, I embrace the Nova Empire on my own terms. I’ve spent two years in this brutal world, and I’ve learned that to survive, you need to be ruthless.”
Suddenly, a slight smirk tugs at the corner of his mouth.
Otto Nova: “The Nova Empire wasn’t built on kindness and respect. It was built on strength, on power, on a willingness to do whatever it takes. And tonight, against The Kingdom, I’m going to show the world what that means.”
He stands up, the crate creaking under the shift of weight, his movements slow and deliberate.
Otto Nova: “SEDITION RISING isn’t just a name. It’s a promise. A promise that we are a threat to everyone who steps in the ring with us. We’re not bound by the rules of right or wrong. We’re guided by our own code, our own sense of honor and survival.”
Finally, Otto pushes his hair back, revealing intense, determined eyes that burn with a newfound purpose.
Otto Nova: “The Kingdom thinks they’re untouchable, but they haven't faced me with this kind of mindset before... Someone who has nothing left to lose and everything to gain. And Tonight? I bring the ruthless way of the Nova Empire to the ring, and I, alongside SEDITION RISING, will rise above all.”
He steps closer to the camera.
Otto Nova: “This is the dawn of a new era. The era of SEDITION RISING. And we’re coming back for everything.”
The camera lingers on Otto’s face for a moment longer, capturing the fierce determination etched into his features, before the screen fades to black.

Match #2/Singles
Ayu Megumi vs. Yung Vertebrae
Sensing victory, Ayu hit Vertebrae with a series of rapid moves: a discus lariat that nearly decapitated him, a ripcord knee strike that left him dazed, and a cannonball senton in the corner that crushed his ribs. Ayu wasn’t finished yet—she hoisted Vertebrae onto the top rope, delivered a stunning hanging roundhouse kick, and then pulled him off with a brutal apron neckbreaker. With Vertebrae barely conscious, Ayu measured him up, landing her Ethereal Blade that sent him sprawling across the ring. As Vertebrae tried to crawl away, Ayu sprinted in with the Fatality, nearly knocking him out cold. Finally, with the end in sight, Ayu nailed Vertebrae with her signature move, the Ryo no Ikari, causing his eyes to glaze over. She dragged him up for one final assault, wrapping him up for the Starstorm that snapped Vertebrae’s body like a whip. With Vertebrae lying motionless in the center of the ring, Ayu climbed the turnbuckle, saluted the cheering crowd, and launched herself off with her finisher, the Leap, crashing down onto Vertebrae.
ONE…
TWO…
THREE…!!
TWO…
THREE…!!
Seth Ernst: Another strong victory for Ayu Megumi on her way back into title contention!
Miranda Augustino: All due respect to the champ, she better be watching!
Winner: Ayu Megumi
Result: Pinfall (Leap)

==========================================================
Stephanie Kenyon: We all here this time. No worries, no wonders, no bullshit from y’all!
Abigail Lindsay: You know what tonight could possibly mean, right babe?
Stephanie Kenyon: . It means we get to show out on the World Champion and show everybody who thinks the Kingdom ain’t still THE dominant force that the talk of our demise is not only greatly exaggerated… it’s wishful fucking thinkin’!
Abigail nods in agreement.
Abigail Lindsay: That is one way to look at things. Also... you were the last person to pin Lana before she used her briefcase to become World Champion. When you repeat the same feat tonight, there is no way LeAnn can deny your right to the number one contendership. And your chance to bring the World Championship home where it belongs--
Abigail points to Stephanie's waist.
Abigail Lindsay: -- around that sexy waist of yours and home to the Kingdom.
Stephanie shrugs, blushing.
Stephanie Kenyon: . I mean, it looked good on the ones it’s already been on and if I can add to that legacy…
Abigail rests her hands on Steph’s shoulders.
Abigail Lindsay: Not IF. When!
Stephanie nods and then looks into the camera. .
Stephanie Kenyon: Ok, WHEN I add to that legacy, y’all gonna know!
Jasmine Matthews: Behold… the Kingdom!

Damon Cross: All these months, Travis, and you still haven’t learned. The first time is a mistake, but the second time is a choice, as the saying goes. But you’re well beyond that threshold at this point, having dove headlong into painfully sad.
He pauses for a moment, tucking a stray strand or three behind his ear and smirking with a shake of his head.
Damon Cross: If mistakes are truly what teach us best, how are you not the smartest man in NFW?
Now the smirk is gone. It’s hard to tell whether Damon looks bored, disgusted, irritated, or a combination of one or all of the above.
Damon Cross: I’m tired of you.
Bored it is… with a dash of irritation.
Damon Cross: At first, it was almost endearing to have a fan who wanted to emulate me. And, despite myself, I tried to steer you right. Don’t be the next me, I said, be the first you. Don’t do what I do, do what’s best for you. I gave you more time, advice, and patience than you ever deserved, Travis, but what did you do with it? What did my daughter call it when someone asks you for advice but ignores it anyway?
He strokes his beard a bit, then snaps his fingers.
Damon Cross: Right: an askhole.
The thought of his daughter, Leina, makes him smile, albeit briefly.
Damon Cross: A seventh-grader has more sense than you, Travis. A lot more. You’ve still got it in your head that beating me, breaking the tie, regardless of the fact that nothing is on the line but your pride and sense of self-worth, is going to make you better somehow. That it’s going to set you up for life in this business. You beat me after I fought my way through two others, scraping your way to a win… and then what? You couldn’t finish the job. You blew everything you had inside of you just to keep me down for three, failing to maintain enough strength to reach the end. Ah, but tonight, a one-on-one match on a throwaway episode of Trauma, THAT is going to take you to the top!
The more he addresses the matter, the more Damon gets agitated. It isn’t unlike a parent having to deal with a thick-headed child, riding that line between patience versus their recalcitrance and wanting to whip that belt out of the loops and dispense justice.
Damon Cross: At my best, fresh and clean, one-on-one, you can’t touch me, Travis. Even at half-mast I can drag you around that ring at my leisure. Dragged down by fighting my way through Morgan and Davis, you lucked your way into a win. Are you getting the fucking point yet?
He points sharply at the camera, at Travis.
Damon Cross: Potential doesn’t stir the fucking Kool-Aid, Travis, and it’s about time you fucking learned that. Do I have to put you on the shelf to make that happen? Do I have to shorten your career yet again?
His tone drops to a low snarl, forcing people to quiet down and lean in to properly hear his message.
Damon Cross: This is the last fucking lesson you’re getting for free, even though I damn well know it’s too little, too late. I am not your steppingstone, nor am I your key to glory. As far as you’re concerned, I’m your white whale, and you’ll go to your grave before you get anything out of me other than punishment and suffering. You won’t succeed because of or in spite of me, Travis. The only way you’re laying hands on the richest prizes in this business is getting out of your own fucking way. Your glory doesn’t come through me. Accept that. Accept that I’m better than you and always will be. You won’t surpass me by facing me, the same as I didn’t become who I am by chasing Eric Donavan… or Snake… or my fucking cunt of an adopted sister. I did it by putting them aside and forging my own path.
Deep breath. Damon turns his back to the camera.
Damon Cross: You don’t get to win tonight, Travis. For that matter, you don’t get to lose, either. I refuse to aid and abet your delusions any longer. One way or another, you’re going to learn.
Cross Aeternum.
He turns and walks off, the camera going to static, then black.

The footage stops, and Travis stares at the screen for a moment. Glancing at the remote in his hand, he turns his head slightly at the sounds of footsteps, turning to see Dominique Ciotti is stepping into the room.
Dominique Ciotti: Travis. I was hoping to get a few words ahead of your match against Da—
Travis stops her by tossing the remote hard at the wall, giving Dominique a stern look and then storming out of the room. The backstage interviewer stares after him, taking a deep breath but then the scene cuts to the final commercial break of the night.

Main Event/Singles
Travis Levitt vs. Damon Cross
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 Collision Center'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.
Seth Ernst: Damon Cross making his way out for his first match since he lost his title. Looking for a little redemption from the man that beat him.
Miranda Augustino: Redemption? Weren’t you listening earlier, Seth? Damon isn’t going to give Travis any ki—
Lucas Knox: NO TIME MIRANDA! TRAVIS CAME EARLY FOR IT!
Indeed before Cross can even make it half-way down the ramp, he finds himself spun around and drilled with a right hand by the pissed off Dragon! Levitt fires off some more quick right hands, the element of surprise catching Cross off-guard, and The Godkiller is staggered. Travis finally seizes Damon by the scruff of the neck, takes two steps and heaves him right into the barricade! The referee comes out to try and stop Travis, and The Dragon is halted but its only for a moment as the referee gets shoved aside by Cross, who starts throwing haymakers of his own right at Levitt! The two men are trading big right hands and scuffling, neither man backing down until Cross blocks a right hand, and then drills a European Uppercut stumbling Levitt away/ The former NFW Champion grabs Travis by the scruff of his neck, and drags him over, slamming him head first into the barricade before dragging him towards the ring. Cross goes to slam Travis head-first into the ringpost, but The Dragon throws some hands up to block it, and then slings an elbow back and into Cross’s ribs to break his grip. Travis turns and starts swinging again, and after a couple of startled shots, Cross is matching him again as The Godkiller and The Dragon brawl around ringside!
Seth Ernst: The match hasn’t even started and these two are trying to beat the holy hell out of one another.
Miranda Augustino: Match? What match? This is a damn brawl! We need some help down here and fast!
Cross manages to block another swing of Levitt’s, countering it by slamming Travis’ head down on the steel steps, only to find himself waist locked by the referee and dragged back and away. The official starts reprimanding Cross, who takes a step back, pleading innocence for just a second….and then superkicks the referee right in the jaw, knocking them out!
Seth Ernst: Cross has just crossed the line! He laid hands on an official! You can’t do that!
The crowd oohs at the sight of the downed referee, Cross barely giving him a look before turning towards Travis again, only for The Dragon to double leg The Godkiller and start throwing rights and lefts at Cross’ head! Levitt is pissed off and showing it, as he pounds away, only for Cross to turn it over and unload some rights of his own. Security finally starts swarming out from the back, and the two fighting competitors are quickly swarmed. Security manages to drag the two men a few feet apart, but Cross just shrugs a hand loose and starts firing punches at anyone that moves. Levitt sees it and starts shrugging the startled guards loose, using the distance to charge and leap, crashing into Damon again! Levitt manages to get a serious hold of Cross’ locks as he fires some big right hands at The Godkillers face, but Cross is giving back as good as he gets, and the two men are soon locked in another grappling brawl. They manage to reach the barricade, and Levitt is shoved back against the steel. Cross screams at The Dragon and then charges in, but Levitt ducks a shoulder and back drops Cross right over the barricade!
Miranda Augustino: Oh for the love of…….The last time Travis did that, he killed someone! Will the man never learn?
The break between the two men is enough for security to swarm in again, both from the crowd and the ramp, separating the two men. Travis is forced back away from the barricade while Cross is dragged up and surrounded. He starts trying to struggle again, looking to climb back over the barricade and get at Travis. Levitt stares at the scrambling Cross from behind the wall of bodies between them, but then grins, and climbs up on the apron, as a collective ripple grows from the crowd. The security seems to be a little slow on the uptake, but the Coliseum crowd are not, and they roar as Levitt does a three step run-up from the apron, leaps, and clears the barricade to crash down on Cross and the swarm of bodies around him!
Seth Ernst: Travis is damn determined to lay hands on Cross! He just cleared the barricade from the apron!
The dive might have got the crowd roaring, but it also gave more security time to arrive on the scene, and though Cross and Levitt are still swinging through the casualties of the dive, more people are arriving on the scene, and Travis is finally dragged back from behind, pinned to the barricade first and then hauled back over it. Cross drops the first two or three that arrive to grab him, but soon finds himself pinned down by a flood, and Cross is dragged out through the crowd, while Levitt is left pinned at ringside, and Trauma goes off the air with a split screen shot of a fired up Dragon glaring out at where he can see Cross being guided away, while Cross shrugs away the guards, turning to look to where he can see Travis at ringside and flipping him off with both hands as we fade….to…..black.
