Day #9 - 09/11/2020!

This preview match for Day 10 kicked things off with a bang. Dona Rotten and Sela Rica-Lark started the match off, going to down back and forth with stiff strikes. The two traded shots back and forth, pound for pound before Dona tagged in Cass Baumer and the two that would meet on Monday got a little of their aggression out on each other right here. Baumer showed why she was champion and held her own against Sela for a spell before Sela tagged in Crowthorne, finally. To the delight of the crowd, Crowthorne and Baumer both went toe to toe in a grappling showdown. Crowthorne locked on the submissions. Baumer broke free with the use of pressure points to loosen Crowthorne's grasp. Baumer tagged Rotten back in to lay some hurt on Crowthorne but while it looked like Dona had an advantage, Sela blind tagged herself in where only the referee saw. Sela hit the ring again, catching Dona with No Saves. Crowthorne quickly redirected her attention to knocking Baumer off the apron while Sela delivered Just For Fun on Rotten to pick up the pinfall.


Things certainly took a turn for the interesting side in this one as Asian Persuasion looked to clearly spring another pre-emptive attack on Anton Crowley and Cali-Kate. As the two waited, watching the ramp during the music, the crowd roared in surprise as Crowley and Kate came from the crowd and sprung their own pre-emptive attack on the GHB reps. This spilled out onto the outside and the two paired off: Kate vs Maki, Angel vs Anton. The referee tried to coax one pair or the other into the ring but when it came to House Crowley trying to finally oblige, Asian Persuasion did everything in their power to keep the fight outside of the ring. Kate and Maki began fighting back up the ramp while Angel hit a running crossbody block on Anton, sending them both into the crowd. After a wave of referees an disappointed Isabella Santiago and an angry Steven Brody himself, coming down to try and gain control of the situation, the official for the match had no choice but to throw the match out while security tried to pry the two pairs apart.


Once again, Debby Haze and Savannah Sunshine showed that natural tag team chemistry as they went head to head against the rag tag yet well meshed team of Emevlas Stastias and HEIDI. It was a fast paced back and forth match with quick tags and rubber band advantages but everything came to a head as Debby Haze eventually nailed Emevlas Stastias with Saturday Night Fever and grabbed the legs for the pinfall.


Once again, Minoru Tanahashi sat back on commentary while Tren Descarrilado was paid to do the brunt of the work. Things didn’t seem the same for Angel Kash and Carter Slade, though, as the two seemed to be having a debate on who was going to be starting the match. It wasn’t until Angel Kash promptly got out of the ring that Carter Slade was forced to start things off. Slade and Tren put on a brutal, violent slug fest but as expected, Tren was phased very little due to his lack of registering pain. Minoru Tanahashi sat back, cheering his tag partner on; even kicked back with a bag of popcorn this time as everything went down. On the other hand, Angel Kash proceeded to yell at Slade and demand he do a better job in this match. Things boiled to a head up until Slade finally had enough and slapped Angel on the shoulder, tagging her in. Shocked, Kash dropped down to the floor, refusing to get into the match, claiming she wasn’t ready yet. Carter Slade slid out of the ring, motioning to his tag partner that she was up. Neither Kash nor Steele Matthews could convince him otherwise. Meanwhile, Tren was up, ready and waiting as the referee began to count. While Slade and Kash (and Matthews) were arguing, Minoru Tanahashi excused himself from the table momentarily and got up, throwing Angel Kash into the ring. Steele Matthews chided Carter Slade, telling him to do something about it but Slade just threw up his hands and shrugged his shoulders. Steele shoved Slade, calling him a cretin. Slade answered back, blasting Steele with a forearm before storming off up the ramp. Angel Kash yelled at Slade to get his ass back to the ring. From behind, Tren spun her around and kicked her in the ribs, prior to delivering Bullet Train To Hell, pulling the tights then for the pinfall.


This was an interesting one as it was technically Kingdom vs Kingdom. Not many remembered that Remi Fontaine was technically a Kingdom member. It didn’t change the fact that this was a tag team contest and Remi had meshed well with Layla Aishe. Remi and Morgan started things off and it was clear that Kingdom affiliation wasn’t going to stop either of them from trying to win the match. Nor would it stop Sativa Nevaeh once Morgan tagged her in. The crowd actually seemed to be showing a growing respect for the Kingdom stable as a whole along with also cheering for the Egyptian Fortune Teller, once Layla Aishe got into the match. Only one side could pick up the win, however, and it looked to be The Regulators again as Sativa went for “Got ‘Em” but Layla shoved her into the ropes and caught her with “In The Stars” out of nowhere! She got the tag into Remi who hit the top ropes and came down with #GetWrecked for the pinfall cover while Layla kept Morgan Payne from breaking it up.


The former NFW World Undisputed Champion rushes the Second City Rioter in an attempt to end this quickly. The Shot In The Dark superkick lives up to its name when the rookie luchadora dodges the maneuver with grace! Now behind Griffin, she rolls him up into a schoolboy pin grabbing a handful of leather, but Griffin kicks out before the count of two! At a standstill, the two square off until Layla follows up with a Southside Cutta that Hawkins pushes out to transition into a South of Heaven double chickenwing position. Struggling, the Windy City native uses her speed before Griffin could connect to springboard off the middle rope and float-over her opponent to break his hold. Before Layla could take advantage, she gets caught with a Shot In The Dark superkick that sends her crashing to the mat! He goes for the pin, but Layla kicks out with effort. Fatigued, he climbs the top rope with the Stage Dive leg drop in mind, but he’s rocked in mid-air with a caught modified CT-Knee! Layla hooks the leg, earning points for the upset victory!


The Black Ronin steps to Ronnie North with an unamused scowl while the Prince Of Pleasure chews gum. With rage in his eyes, Damon grabs Ronnie by the hair and hits him with a Heart Breaker heart punch of his own that sends the gum down his windpipe. After the stolen finisher, Ronnie gags, allowing Damon to follow up by lifting him into a suplex position. Slingshotting Ronnie off the top rope, he popped him back to land his Black Crucifixion sit-out suplex slam! Next, he ran the ropes and springboards into a White Redemption swanton bomb right into North’s knees! Doubling over, Cross writhes in pain while Ronnie takes control. In the corner, he riles up the crowd with taunts and calls for Damon to get to his feet. Once he does, Ronnie catches him in a Droppin’ Loads crucifix powerbomb. Damon wiggles out of it to the roar of the crowd, tapping Ronnie out with a devastating Father’s Sin submission!


As one-half of Queen’s Guard stands toe-to-toe with the Rebel Queen herself, Jennifer insults the tag team contender and slaps her across the face! Lluvia was none too happy about this, responding with a big boot! With her opponent down, Cane belittles the Mancunian in return and pulls her in for the Empress of Thunder triple suplex! Right before the third, however— What’s this?! Jenn counters into Rocker’s Demise! Jenn Drew hasn’t used this chokehold in some time, but it’s wearing down her opponent! When Lluvia gets the rope break, Jenn regroups and climbs the turnbuckle. Cane follows, groggily punching the Puppetmistress to get her in position. With the two dangerously high off the mat, The Kingdom member innovates when Drew tries for an avalanche powerbomb. Instead, it’s reversed into a hanging Torch of Blame triangle choke using gravity to her advantage! The torque is excruciating; a quick rope break followed by four seconds of torture comes next. The Lluvia collapses on the mat from the energy she expended while Jenn looks out of it, still seated at the turnbuckle’s peak. With an exhausted gasp of strength, Jenn struggles to stand and then nails the Curtain Call 630 corkscrew senton onto her supine adversary! Jenn hooks the leg while she’s still on her back and gets the win! After the bell, Jenn rests against the ropes and watches Lluvia slowly climb to her feet. At last, Jenn strikes Lluvia between the legs with a punt kick before walking out with a satisfied sneer.


After a short brawl, the rookie shocks the man known as the Guillotine when she locks him into a guillotine choke of her own she calls Code Blue, but it’s short-lived. Graham climbs back to his feet and rushes the turnbuckle to slam her back into the thin turnbuckle pads concealing steel, then whips her around to nail a modified swinging jawbreaker! He deadlifts Runa into what he calls his What Goes Around release suplex slam. When Runa gets to her feet, Graham runs at the ropes and tries for his Clean The Blade lariat but Olsen ducks! He keeps running, bounces off the ropes, and dodges Runa’s Checkup superkick to hit 1789 in one fluid motion! He gets the pin.


The masked Japanese lucharesu super rookie squares off in the middle of the ring with the anti-villainous brawler in what felt like a big fight feel. The two circle each other until Super Tiger offers the two test their strength. Jansen seems to agree, measuring up with her arms clasped with her opponent, but it’s cut short when Super Tiger’s leg gets kicked out from under her. Myrrh thumbs the Tiger’s eyes and then grabs the tag team specialist’s throat. With the weight advantage, Jansen slams ST off her feet with a chokeslam and follows up by mounting the fan-favorite to land a series of close-fist punches. In the ruthless attack, Jansen tries to rip off Super Tiger’s mask until Risa got out of it with fury in her eyes! Rolling Jansen to her back, Super Tiger lifts Jansen into a buckle bomb with all her strength! Now dazed in the corner, Tiger wastes no time to hit that knife edged chop. Tossing Jansen to the mat, she hits a stiff basement dropkick to Myrrh’s back. The Anti-Villain slowly climbs to her feet, dodging a springboard dropkick Risa calls the Tiger Snare and catches ST in the Confessional crossface chickenwing! Grounding the highflier, Jansen bridges Tiger’s back deep, the arch of her back visible as she cries out in pain, reaching for the ropes! Myrrh shouts that Super Tiger needs to quit. This tournament is hers to win, Jansen arrogantly affirms. With a burst of life, Tiger repositions to assure Myrrh’s shoulders pin to the mat. Jansen is surprised, not realizing what’s happening until it’s almost too late! With a kick out, the two separate, and Tiger is free from Myrrh’s clutches. Starlight Express!! The bridging dragon suplex transitions into a bridging pin combo, but she fails to hold the bridge before the count of three! The Confessional has done its job! Still, the NFW official starts to count the double knockout. At seven, Super Tiger climbs to her feet to stop the count, and Myrrh stands too. Both of them breathe heavily, resting against the ropes for a moment before Jansen runs at Tiger with the Lariat From Hell! Tiger ducks, watching Myrrh collapse over the ropes to the apron from her momentum. Running in Jansen’s direction, Super Tiger hits the There And Back Again tiger feint kick to the Anti-Villain’s back, and then Starlight Expresses her over the apron and into the ring! Now, Super Tiger locks in Myrrh’s Confessional crossface chickenwing on the woman who made the finisher famous in NFW and tapped her out for the victory!
