Adrianna Salvatore vs. Morganna Bilson

Morganna and Adrianna meet in the center of the ring, literally nose to nose as the crowd looks on in anticipation of what’s sure to be an all out slugfest between two women of about even stature. Adrianna can be seen clearly trash talking the Queens of Chaos member before Morganna bows up to her, bumping chest to chest in fearless defiance. Adrianna shoves her back all of a sudden and Morganna answers back with a pie face shove. This sends Adrianna into a rage and she lunges for a wide, short range clothesline! But Morganna ducks the arm! She pivots around as Adrianna does the same! Morganna unloads on Adrianna with repeated right hand bombs, rocking The Walking Apocalypse! The crowd goes nuts as Morganna beats her back into a corner and keeps unloading to the count of 4 from the referee! She whips Adrianna into the opposite corner! Morganna’s right on her heels, not letting her get a moment’s reprieve as she Shoulder Tackles her in the ribs against the turnbuckle! The wind’s knocked out of Adrianna as The Hexblade pulls her out of the corner and whips her into the ropes. Adrianna comes back as Morganna bounds off and hits a Flying Clothesline, taking her down to the mat!

Adrianna sits up, trying to shake the stars out but Morganna’s there to assist her and looks for a Vertical Suplex but Adrianna manages to slip down behind her and shove her into the ropes. She rushes forward for a lariat but Morganna ducks and hits the ropes again to gain more momentum. As she comes charging back in, however, Adrianna stops her in her tracks with a Kitchen Sink right to the midsection. Morganna hits the mat and Adrianna steps back, catching her breath with an absolutely fuming look on her face. All “technique” goes out the window as she rushes forward and viciously boots Morganna in the head as she starts to get up. She starts in next with the stomps before dropping down into a ground and pound with Morganna trying to cover up. It gets to the point where the referee tries to beg Adrianna off but she rises to her feet and gets in the referee’s face. The referee points to their shirt. Adrianna feigns a lunge at them to scare them back before turning around right into a Superkick by Morganna!!! She staggers and Morganna pulls her down into “Camp Blood (Sitdown Piledriver)!!!!!” She holds the legs for a cover!!!!


Adrianna comes up onto her hands and knees as Morganna quickly stumbles up to her feet and sees her opportunity! The Hexblade runs off the ropes, coming back in for “Lock Steep (Curb Stomp)” but as she leaps up, Adrianna explodes up from the mat and NAILS HER with “1994 TA01 (Superman Punch)!!!!!!” Morganna’s head snaps back as she lands unsteadily on her feet and collapses against the middle turnbuckle!!! Adrianna falls back against the opposite corner, sneering as she charges in and lets herself fly with “Rogue Planet (V-Trigger)!!!!” The knee connects with Morganna’s head, smashing her against the turnbuckle!!!! She’s all but nearly motionless as Adrianna picks her up and drags her to the center of the mat. She hooks the arm over her head and lifts Morganna, tossing her up for “Ground Zero (Vertical Suplex Powerbomb)!!!!!” She covers!!!!

Madoka Kawada: Here is your winner…ADRIANNA…SALVATORE!!!!!

Seth Ernst: A dominant victory for The Walking Apocalypse!

Miranda Augustino: She’s baaaaaaack!

Lucas Knox: Ohhhh and I don’t think she’s done either!

Jimmy Bones vs. Travis Levitt

Just as the match starts, Damon Cross sits down in the front row and holds up a ticket to show the world. Travis sharks his head and Damon laughs as he calls something out. Travis tries to ignore him even as Damond continues to heckle him. Jimmy Bones steps in and he and Travis lock-up in a traditional collar and elbow tie-up. Travis takes a side headlock and then step into hammerlok. Jimmy ducks under to reverse it and Travis takes a side headlock again. Damond calls out to him and Travis shakes his head even as Jimmy elbows out and then jumps up into a victory roll.


Damon heckles some more for getting so close to losing to Jimmy Bones. Travis gets him in a wastelock and then slips it into a bridging dragon suplex.


Travis pulls him up and hits the Pillar Of Flames. Damon Cross heckles and taunts Travis even as he goes for the cover on Jimmy.


The two start back up and Damin taunts Travis again. Jimmy gets away, rebounds off the ropes and hits the sling blade. He pops up to his feet and follows with a running neck snap, then comes off the ropes for a front basement dropkick. Jimmy covers.

Madoka Kawada: Here is your winner…JIMMY BONES!

Miranda Augustino: Hey, great win for Jimmy!

Seth Ernst: No denying that, Mir, but you have to acknowledge that Damon Cross may have had a hand in it.

Lucas Knox: He’s not even supposed to be here! He’s suspended!

Miranda Augustino: You’re right, but the man bought a ticket! What can they do?

Lucas Knox: Damn it!

Ayu Megumi vs. Otto Nova

With the ring of the bell, Trauma’s main event is underway! Megumi and Nova meet in the center and jockey for position with a collar and elbow tieup. Megumi slips around behind Nova and goes for a quick finish, locking his arms up for “Starstorm” but Nova lifts his arms and drops down, pulling Megumi down with his legs for a rollup! The referee doesn’t even get a chance to drop down for the count as Megumi immediately slips free and kips up to her feet. She immediately hits the ropes and come back towards a seated Nova looking for “Fatality” but Nova lays back and she sails over him. Nova kips up to his feet now and comes running at Megumi from behind as she comes up to a knee. He looks for “Gravity X” but Megumi spots him on the tron and drops forward, causing Nova to stumble into the ropes! The Amazing Girl pops up and catches Nova with a Poisonrana but Nova lands on his feet again and Dropkicks Megumi in the back. She falls forward into the ropes and here comes The Heir To The Nova Empire with an attempt at “Deep Space Nine” but Megumi rolls back away from the ropes, causing Nova’s legs to swing through and he lands on the apron. Megumi hops to her feet again and runs in with a Forearm Smash that catches Nova this time but he holds onto the ropes to keep from falling. Megumi steps in again but Nova grabs her by the head and drops down into a Hangman, yanking her throat across the top rope. Nova takes his chance and comes off the top rope with ”Detroit Smash” (Springboard Forearm Smash) and Megumi goes down!


Megumi fires a shoulder up and Nova can hardly believe it. He gets to his feet and climbs to the top turnbuckle, waiting for Megumi to rise before leaping off and catches her with a Tornado DDT, spiking her head into the mat. Megumi starts to rise and Nova moves to strike combinations, throwing kicks and chops into his opponent. Megumi eventually blocks some and starts to fire right back with strikes of her own, rocking Nova but he catches her at the end of his barrage with a Spinning Heel Kick, causing her to stagger. Seeing their positioning, he grabs her head and hops up, planting his feet into her chest and hits a Monkey Flip that throws her against the turnbuckles. Megumi starts to pick herself up in the corner as Nova readies himself for his next attack. Megumi turns to see Nova rushing at her for a Crossbody Splash and manages to dive out of the way at the same time. Nova slams into the turnbuckle just as Megumi hops over the top rope onto the apron. As he’s turning to catch his breath, Nova has his legs swept out from under him by Megumi from the apron with a kick and he drops to a seated position. Megumi launches herself back over the top rope, coming down like a pendulum and driving her feet into his sternum! She drags Nova out flat on the mat and hooks the leg!


Nova gets the shoulder up! Megumi picks him up and hooks her arms around his waist in a rear waistlock, planting him with a German Suplex! She kicks her legs up, rolls and stands, pulling Nova up to deliver a second German Suplex! She’s going for the Rolling Triple! Megumi makes it up to setup for the third one but Nova starts to struggle, fighting back. He eventually gets an elbow back into the side of Megumi’s head, knocking her loose but as he turns around to face her, Megumi spins and catches him with a Spinning Back Elbow! Nova spins on his feet, looking dazed and Megumi grabs him around the waist, getting that third German Suplex in with authority and arches her hips up into a bridge!


Nova kicks out again and Megumi sits up, looking a bit flustered. She takes a breath and nods as the crowd chants with support for both her and Nova. A split crowd at this point. Megumi stands and stands back, waiting for Nova to rise as she starts looking to be setting up for either the “Ethereal Blade” or “Ryo No Ikari.” As Nova rises and turns towards her, she comes stepping in and it’s gonna be ”Ryo No Ikari” (Superkick) but Nova scouts it and throws his leg up just a hair faster, drilling Megumi in the jaw with ”Crazed Daze” (Superkick Outta Nowhere)! Megumi spins out on her feet, fighting to stay vertical but Nova grabs her from behind and bends her back with an arm around her head and spikes her with an Inverted DDT! Hook of the leg!


Megumi fires the shoulder up just before three! Nova can’t believe it now but he keeps his head cool and grabs Megumi up, calling for his next big move and delivers a Vertical Suplex with authority! He swings his legs around and picks Megumi up, holding that position and hits a second Vertical Suplex, going for ”The Third Degree Of Nova” and he gets the third, dropping Megumi hard on the mat. She fights to get up to her feet again, making it to a knee as Nova measures her up and he hits the ropes for ”Gravity X” again, this time from the front! Megumi narrowly avoids it, rolling forward with Nova’s knee wisping through her hair! Nova catches himself from crashing into the ropes and doesn’t waste his time, turning to try for it again but as he comes in now, Megumi’s up and she catches him! ”Ethereal Blade” (Claymore Kick) to the jaw! Nova falls back against the ropes, holding himself up on instinct and Megumi scrambles to her feet, pulling him away from them and hooks his arms up! ”Starstorm” (Dragon Suplex) plants Nova into the mat with a bridge!

Madoka Kawada: Here is your winner…AYU MEGUMI!!!!

Megumi gets to her feet with her arm raises as the crowd cheers while she starts motioning a title around her waist.

Seth Ernst: There you have it, ladies and gentlemen! The Amazing Girl comes out on top!

Miranda Augustino: This wasn’t a contender’s match but you gotta believe a victory like this puts her back on the path for the NFW Championship!

Lucas Knox: You’re not the only one who thinks so, apparently! Look out!

Megumi gets little time to celebrate her win before she turns around and New Frontier Champion, Lana Corvin, is in the ring, blasting her in the face with the title! Those cheers turn to boos as Corvin stands over Megumi, leaning down and berating her. Otto Nova recovers and makes it up to his feet, asking his fellow Sedition Rising member, and leader, what’s going on. Corvin pats him on the chest and tells him not to worry about it. She motions for Nova to pick Megumi up as she stands back and brandishes the championship again. Reluctantly, almost, Nova pulls Megumi to her feet, preparing her to take the attack. Corvin points to the title, yelling at Megumi that if she wants it so bad, she’ll give it to her.

Lucas Knox: For the love of god, somebody stop this!

Miranda Augustino: Lana Corvin is not a champion that you want the attention of!

Seth Ernst: Wait, wait! Look who’s here!

Lucas Knox: WHAT?!

The crowd suddenly pops then as STEPHANIE KENYON comes running from backstage with a steel chair in hand!!! She wastes no time, rushing down to the ring and slides in, bringing up the chair at Corvin and Nova. Corvin makes a quick getaway out of the ring as does Nova, releasing Megumi!!! Kenyon moves to Megumi’s side to check on her. Megumi nods that she’s okay and profusely thanks The Kingdom’s Wildcat. Outside the ring, Corvin yells foul obscenities at Kenyon, brandishing the title still as Nova holds her back. “Predator” by Primal Fear comes on through the arena as Kenyon and Megumi stand side by side.
