NOT ANOTHER WRESTLING SHOW - 05/31/2021

[NVR Staff]

MAY 31ST, 2021

STUDIO MERLOT

NAPA VALLEY, CA

IN RING...

Views of the NVR Faithful in attendance and all of their signs can be seen as fans chant for NVR Wrestling's newest show to start. Usually, we get an introduction from NVR's President, Caleb Jackson, however, this time we don't get the familiar beats of Meek Mill's "Ima Boss". Instead, this time around, we get Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Fortunate Son". 

SOME FOLKS WERE BORN
MADE TO RAISE THE FLAG
OH, THEY'RE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE

From the top of the ramp comes out NVR's 2020 Staff Member of the Year, Mr. Wrestling 3K. He has his blue mask on and a nice suit. He makes his way down to the ring and wipes his feet before even stepping on the ring steps, let alone the ring apron. He gets into the ring and motions for a microphone as the fans begin to chant.

3-K!!!
3-K!!!
3-K!!!

Mr. Wrestling 3K tries to speak but instantly gets choked up. He looks into the hard camera, and his eyes are bright red with tears.

MR. WRESTLING 3K: I... I want to start this off, by saying thank you.

3K gets even more choked up as he tries to utter out his speech.

MR. WRESTLING 3K: I want to thank Caleb Jackson, for giving me... for giving me an opportunity to take my career in a direction I've never dreamed of. I want to thank all of the talented... talented men and women... in the back who have worked their butts off to build this company we all love so much. Lastly, I want to thank all of you fans... fans both here and at home. You guys are the ones who make all of this happen and all of it worth it. None of us would be here without you and... and I am very thankful for all of the memories you all have... have provided and experienced with me over the last 2 years.

He's really struggling for a moment, as the fans cheer him on to help him keep his mind clear. 3K takes a moment to collect himself before continuing because he doesn't want to struggle through another paragraph. When he is finally ready, the fans quiet down for him.

MR. WRESTLING 3K: When I took this job, I promised myself I would be as professional as I could be, and if I couldn't, I would quit. I said I wasn't going to be biased and I wasn't going to make this about myself, because I remember being where these young wrestlers were, and having everyone trying to take their spotlight to get over instead of letting these young men and women do what they need to do to build their brands.

He pauses a second.

MR. WRESTLING 3K: I made a promise to myself that I would uphold the best parts of this industry so that this company and these wrestlers can grow the way they needed to, and last month I broke that promise. Yes, I was challenged and yes, I technically won, but that match should have never happened. I shouldn't have let Tapp Addams get in my head the way that I did, and I shouldn't have accepted his challenge in the first place. By accepting that match challenge, I stole a spot from this roster and I made it about myself. I'm not mad that Tapp stole my mask if you all want to know my true identity-

NO!!!
NO!!!
NO!!!

3K laughs

MR. WRESTLING 3K: Anyways, I'm not mad at Tapp... I'm disappointed in myself. I betrayed myself, and because of that... I am resigning from NVR Wrestling. You all deserve better than me, and I apologize to anyone I may have offended in the back with my participation in that match. I hope you all can forgive me, and again I thank you for all the memories.

With that, Mr. Wrestling 3K sets the microphone in the center of the ring, and pulls a commentary headset from his suit jacket. He places the headset over-top the microphone, and bows in every direction. Finally, 3K leaves the ring as the fans chant.

THANK YOU, 3K!!!
PLEASE DON'T GO!!!
THANK YOU, 3K!!!
PLEASE DON'T GO!!!
THANK YOU, 3K!!!
PLEASE DON'T GO!!!

OPENING MATCH
SINGLES MATCH
DARBY MACNAMARA
vs
RAPTOЯ

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS MATCH IS YOUR OPENING BOUT FOR THE EVENING!!!

LET’S GO RAPTOЯ!!!
DARBY!!! DARBY!!! DARBY!!!
LET’S GO RAPTOЯ!!!
DARBY!!! DARBY!!! DARBY!!!
LET’S GO RAPTOЯ!!!
DARBY!!! DARBY!!! DARBY!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first...

"Immigrant Song" by Led Zepplin plays, as the lights change different colors of green, gold, and brown. The music changes go into the first verse and out comes the 100 million-year-old rookie, RaptoЯ steps out from behind the curtain. He takes his first small step for Dino's and his one giant leap for Dino-kind! With that, he stomps out to the ring and raises his hands in self-hype as the fans cheer for him as well. One big step over the top rope, and he's in the center of the ring screaming "We're Back" before posing in the ring and letting his music die.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And their opponent...

The upbeat, fast-paced tunes of Machine Gun Kelly’s pop-punk “Kiss Kiss” start to play and Darby comes out from backstage with his usual carefree energy. Pausing he’ll glance around to study the crowd and then begin to make his way quickly. On his way to the ring he’ll try and barter and trade with fans along the ramp, looking to exchange any of the nick nacks he might have picked up backstage (or who the hell knows where else). Sometimes he might be successful. Others he might come up empty. But eventually, he’ll turn his attention back to the task at hand, ascend the steel ring steps and then up the nearby turnbuckle post, flipping off the top turnbuckle and into the ring where he’ll find his way to his corner and (most likely) try and pickpocket the referee’s wallet on his way there.

Darby looks up at RaptoЯ and tries to eyeball how much taller the Jurass-Kicker is than him. The Were-Coon puffs his chest up and stomps towards RaptoЯ, but RaptoЯ just boots him to the ground. Darby is quick to get back to his feet, though he seems a bit embarrassed as he circles the ring. RaptoЯ goes on the offensive, swinging for the fences, but MacNamara uses his speed to evade the attacks. Darby slides between the legs of RaptoЯ and dropkicks RaptoЯ into the ropes. RaptoЯ catches himself as Darby runs at him and leaps into the ai- AND DARBY IS CAUGHT! RaptoЯ has Darby in a fireman’s carry and tosses him off, BUT DARBY LANDS ON HIS FEET!!! Darby rebounds off the ropes and delivers a sliding elbow to the knee of RaptoЯ. RaptoЯ stumbles, nearly going to a knee, as Darby targets the lead leg with a series of stiff kicks. RaptoЯ doesn’t go down, so Darby hits the ropes and seems to be going for some form of leaping strike, but RaptoЯ pops up with an uppercut that drops him. RaptoЯ deadlifts Darby up onto his shoulder with an inverted gutwrench and throws him into the corner with snake eyes! Darby rebounds off the turnbuckle right into a big bicycle kick from RaptoЯ. The Dino drops down for a pin attempt… 1… 2… DARBY KICKS OUT!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: RAPTOЯ BEATING THAT DOG-BOYS ASS!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: Darby’s speed seems to be quite the advantage, but RaptoЯ just timed some heavy strikes just right and it completely changed the momentum of this match!

K.T. ANDERSON: Wow, amazing play-by-play Germa…

GEMMA MARCHAND: You aren’t clever…

RaptoЯ keeps Darby grounded with some more boots and stomps. RaptoЯ drives Darby into the corner, just to suplex him out of it. Big roundhouse by RaptoЯ, but Darby ducks it and sweeps the leg of RaptoЯ. Big back bump by RaptoЯ as Darby spins up to his feet and hits a standing moonsault. 2 count pin attempt by Darby as RaptoЯ kicks out! Darby chops RaptoЯ as he gets to a knee, just to keep him at bay. A couple more chops before RaptoЯ catches one, pulling Darby in for a choke. RaptoЯ goes for a chokeslam, but Darby leaps up and out of the hold. MacNamara hits the ropes and ducks a big spinning back fist from The Cretaceous Crippler. Another rebound and another ducked strike, as Darby gains more speed, spearing the shit out of RaptoЯ with a Faugh A Ballagh!!! Darby again goes for the cover and again RaptoЯ kicks out at 2! Darby pops up and goes to his Scarlet for your Ma Flipping DDT, but RaptoЯ just pops him up with a massive back body drop. Big Curbstomp by the Big Reptile and a cover, but MacNamara kicks out! RaptoЯ goes for a standing moonsault of his own, but as he leaps up, Darby rolls out of the way. RaptoЯ tries to get up, but Darby hits the Waxing Moon!!! MacNamara with a deep cover… 1… 2… RAPTOЯ GETS THE ARM UP!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: DARBY NEARLY PUTS RAPTOЯ AWAY WITH THE ROUNDHOUSE!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: That was an absolutely vicious kick T-B-H.

GEMMA MARCHAND: Now it’s only a matter of who will be able to capitalize from here on!

K.T. ANDERSON: I hate to agree with you, but it really can go either way right now.

RaptoЯ only gets to a knee as Darby begins to hit some more stiff kicks. RaptoЯ starts counter punching, using his long arms to catch Darby in the midsection. On one kick, RaptoЯ punches Darby right in the side of the knee on his base leg. Darby grabs at his leg as RaptoЯ gets up and throws Darby up over the top rope. MacNamara is able to catch himself and land on the apron. RaptoЯ charges at him, but Darby hits a rope-assisted kick to the head. Darby slips between the ropes and hits RaptoЯ with the Dirt Bird! He holds on for the pin attempt, BUT RAPTOЯ KICKS OUT AT 2.99!!! Darby tries to keep his momentum by going to the top rope for his Wired to the Moon imploding 450, but RaptoЯ rolls out of the way! RaptoЯ goes to his feet and hits a swinging DDT on Darby! He covers Darby for the 1… 2… DARBY KICKS OUT!!! RaptoЯ lifts Darby for the Land Before Ti- DARBY ESCAPES!!! Darby kicks his legs to get out of the tombstone hold, and hits the ropes to deliver a stiff single leg dropkick! He goes to the apron and is about to leap up for his I’d Rather Be Shiny flying forearm, but a video plays on the titantron that distracts him! It’s Babatunde Garamunde.

BABATUNDE GARAMUNDE: DARBY BUBBA! YEW STOLL A WEEN FRUM ME LASD MUNTH. SADLEE I MAST GO TU NAMIBIA FOR SPESEEL GRAPE SEEZON. I DEW NUT KNEW WEN I WEEL BEE BOCK. SARY DARBY, GUD LOCK IN YUR MATCH!!!

The video ends, and Darby sees RaptoЯ is nearly back to his feet, a desperate springboard for the forearm, BUT RAPTOЯ CATCHES HIM!!! EXTINCTION!!! RAPTOЯ COVERS… 1… 2… 3!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA PINFALL... RAPTOЯ!!!

RaptoЯ gets to his feet and raises both arms high in the air. Jeff the Ref points to RaptoЯ, but RaptoЯ pulls his arm away. Darby rolls out of the ring, upset at the distraction and the fact that he will probably never get vengeance on Baba. Darby tells RaptoЯ that he wouldn’t have won if it wasn’t for the “big shiny distraction”, but RaptoЯ just laughs at him and goes back to celebrating his win.

K.T. ANDERSON: Well that’s one way to get the last laugh on someone.

GEMMA MARCHAND: That’s some cowardly stupid stuff that you would think of, K.T.

[NVR Staff]

BACKSTAGE...
Backstage we find Mimi's shadow on the wall, and a very loud squeal coming from the former NVR Tag Team Champion. Her shadow can be seen moving up and down, up and down, up and down, before she utters.

MIMI SMITH: I love it!

The camera snap pans from the shadows to Mimi hugging an adorable teal Yoshi teddy that's big enough she needs two hands to carry it. TJS

MIMI SMITH: He's my favourite racer too.

TJS: He's no bowser Jr. but I won it so there you go.

MIMI SMITH: He's lovely, but I can't take your prize from you. You won him.

TJS: S'all good. To be honest I just wanted to throw something at a stack of something after that triple threat. I mean I got taken out and then Zombies grab my foot and prevent me from getting back in the triple threat match.

Mimi takes a break from hugging her Teal Yoshi, reacting somewhat alarmed.

MIMI SMITH: Wait what?

TJS just waves it off like it was yesterday's news.

TJS: Don't worry about it. Besides you're on the next card.

MIMI SMITH: Oh yeah. RicHoez. Hashtag RicHoez, sorry.

Mimi then makes a hashtag with her hands.

MIMI SMITH: I'm pretty sure their last match was back in March, against the tag team champions. They did ok. As former tag team champions ourselves I think we'll be able to handle these two. But I just worry about Corazon Negro getting involved yet again.

Mimi dips the head of her Yoshi teddy to make it look as sad as she still feels about the whole situation.

TJS: If he does just hit him with a bucket of KFC.

Mimi then punches TJ in the arm for that joke.

MIMI SMITH: So not funny, Teddy.

Mimi gives him a glare but then laughs, as he rubs where she landed a perfect punch.

MIMI SMITH: I'm not a fast food slob.

TJS: I hear you. I hear you

The pair then head off to Nevvy Pro's brand new vending machine seen at the background fully stocked with delicious, thirst quenching bubblegum soda as Mimi's last comment is heard on the camera before fading to black.

MIMI SMITH: But maybe I could drop him on his head if he tries to get involved. He's done enough of that to me.

TAG TEAM MATCH
#RICHOEZ
(JAMIE-LYNN DOPLE & LYNDSY-JAMES DOPLE)
vs
DOUBLE TROUBLE
(MIMI SMITH & DAYA MATIAS)

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THIS MATCH IS A TAG TEAM MATCH!!!

DOUBLE TROUBLE!!!
SUCKS!!!
DOUBLE TROUBLE!!!
SUCKS!!!
DOUBLE TROUBLE!!!
SUCKS!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first...

Money by Cardi B begins to play and The RicHoez comes out from backstage. They stand at the top of the ramp and turn around with their arms extended out. They then make their way down the ramp laughing at and making fun of the audience members in the front row. Once at the ring, they roll under the bottom rope and twerk in the ring as their music fades out.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And their opponent...

The arena lights dim down, as a giant Red DT appears on the screen, placed so that it almost looks like an R. Suddenly, the silhouettes of two female faces appear on either side of the Double Trouble logo!

PREPARE FOR TROUBLE!!!

WE MAKE IT DOUBLE!!!

TO LEAVE YOU IN OUR DEVASTATION!!!

TO DEFEAT THE TEAMS WITHIN ALL NATIONS!!!

I'M THE SUGAR AND SHE'S THE SPICE!!!

IF YOU'RE AGAINST US, IT WON'T BE NICE!!!

MIMI!!!

DAYA!!!

DOUBLE TROUBLE ARE HERE TO FIGHT!!!

AND OUT OPPONENTS WILL BE OUT LIKE A LIGHT!!!

A giant CGI Meowth comes onto the screen.

MEOWTH!!! THAT'S RIGHT!!!

All of the lights come back on as Double Trouble's music plays across the arena, Daya and Mimi step out to the stage dressed in Meowth and Eevee onesies! They still do their own "Team Rocket" pose before walking down the ramp! They hi-five and take pictures with the fans until they get to ringside, where they run and slide underneath the bottom rope. They do another Team Rocket style pose, as their music fades away

Mimi and Lyndsy-James start the match-up. Mimi tries to get technical, but LJ evades and shoots some kicks. Dople catches Mimi right in the mouth with a kick as Mimi tries to go for a takedown. Smith stumbles backward as Lyndsy-James twerks in triumph. LJ hits a series of forearms and kicks to keep the advantage, but a drop-toe hold changes the early momentum of the match. Mimi tags Daya in and she goes for a 450 onto Dople. Jamie-Lynn tries to get involved, but Mimi baseball slides through her legs. Mimi tries to trip JL, but Jamie scouts it, leaps over Mimi’s arms, and then superkicks her in the side of the head when Mimi tries to get back on her feet. Jamie flips herself over the top rope and hits a big lariat on Daya. She pulls her sister up to her feet, as they hit Daya with a double enziguri. They continue to assault Daya Matias, kicking her legs until Matias goes to his knees. Jamie whips Daya into the corner and Lyndsy goes to the center of the ring. #RicHoez goes for their Hoetry in Motion, but Daya is able to evade and tag back out to Mimi. They hit a Pewter Punisher on Jamie-Lynn to get her out of the ring, and hit a Saffron Shatter on Lyndsy-James for the 1… 2… LJ KICKS OUT!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: Daya’s back must be hurt from carrying this damn team all the time.

GEMMA MARCHAND: Mimi is the one who got the pin. You know that right.

K.T. ANDERSON: Yea, but Daya is the one who saved herself.

GEMMA MARCHAND: You’re ridiculous...

Doples are able to make a comeback shortly after the double team because they make a lot of quick tags. Mimi and Daya try to stop the quick tags but accidentally find themselves separated on the wrong side of the ring because of it. As Daya gets legal again, she tries to stop LJ from tagging out. Lyndsy-James knees Daya right in the gut as Jamie knees her in the kidneys through the ropes. Tag Jamie, and they suplex Daya to the center of the ring. JL hits the ropes for a handspring rear-view, but Daya catches Jamie with a desperation backstabber! They slowly crawl to their corners and get a hot tag in! Mimi and Lyndsy trade strikes, and soon Daya and Jamie join in, making it a big brawl in the center of the ring. Daya and Mimi throw The Dople Twins over the top rope and onto the apron. Mimi drops down onto her hands and knees as Daya hits the ropes. Matias uses Smith as a springboard and she dropkicks Jamie and Lyndsy off the apron!!! Mimi and Daya hype the fans up in the ring as JL and LJ regroup. At ringside, Lyndsy-James takes her wig off and places it on Jamie-Lynn’s head. Jamie rolls into the ring and eats a Shiny Teeth No More from Mimi. Mimi covers the illegal wrestler, but Lyndsy comes up and hits a butt-bomb onto the back of Mimi. Big spinning heel kick by Lyndsy-James and she covers Mimi for the 1… 2… DAYA WITH THE SAVE!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: CRAZY CHEATING TACTIC THERE!!! JAMIE-LYNN AND LYNDSY-JAMES DON’T EVEN LOOK THE SAME!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: THEY’RE TWINS!!! IT’S ENOUGH FOR IT TO ALMOST WORK!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: It was weak and it didn’t even end the match!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: BECAUSE DAYA IS CARRYING HER TEAM AGAIN!!!

Mimi has Lyndsy in a sharpshooter, and LJ Dople tries to crawl to the ropes. Jamie enters the ring and hits s big dropkick to the back of Mimi. Jamie-Lynn drags Lyndsy-James to the #RicHoez corner and tags in. Running tilt-a-whirl headscissors puts Mimi in the ropes, and JL hits a tiger Feint kick and a springboard splash for the 1… 2… Kickout by Mimi. Jamie lifts Mimi and begins to hit her with a series of open palm strikes. She tries to finish up with a spinning back fist, but Mimi catches her with a Cha-Chin stunner!!! Mimi tries to get to the corner, but Jamie catches her by grabbing Mimi’s leg. The stall tactic only delays the inevitable, as Mimi does actually tag Daya in. Matias hits a stiff chop, followed by a dropkick and a leaping clothesline, and a big leg drop on Jamie. Daya hits JL with an SOS, and goes for the pin 1… 2… Jamie kicks out! She rolls to her knees and goes for the hot tag, but as Daya leaps, Corazon Negro comes hopping over the barricade and runs at Mimi. Mimi catches this though and hits a running front flip senton off the apron onto CN, leaving Daya high and dry in the process. Matias yells at Mimi to get back onto the apron, but Mimi is just in a blind rage beating Corazon. Jamie-Lynn comes from behind with a schoolgirl while Daya is distracted… 1… 2… 3!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA PINFALL... JAMIE-LYNN AND LYNDSY-JAMES DOPLE… #RICHOEZ!!!

LJ pulls Jamie out of the ring, and they hug on the outside as Daya sits on her knees. Jamie screams for the referee to raise her hand, and Steph the Ref obliges. The Dople twins stick their tongues out and twerk their way up the ramp. On the other side of the ring, Mimi whips Corazon Negro into the ring. He rolls over to Daya as Mimi slides into the ring. Mimi charges at Corazon, but Daya gets up and gets between Mimi and Corazon Negro. She yells at both of them, because Mimi is her friend and, despite the mask, CN is her brother. She tells them they need to move on from the feud and end it already. Mimi and Corazon stare at each other, but Daya grabs Mimi and tells her to come on.

GEMMA MARCHAND: I hate to see turmoil amongst friends and family like this. I really feel for Daya here. Especially since it caused such an upset loss.

K.T. ANDERSON: Nah, this is and always has been #RICHOEZ COUNTRY!!!

[NVR Staff]

DURING THE BREAK...
Outside of the arena. Tapp Wrestling can be seen with a picket sign. “NVR, Not Very Respectful.” He holds the sign up and chants loudly to everyone walking past. “Hey. Hey. Ho. Ho. NVR wants me to go.” The passerby’s share looks of annoyance as they ignore the submission wrestler.

NVR WRESTLING
R!ZE CHAMPIONSHIP
OPPORTUNITY BRIEFCASE
SINGLES MATCH
REBEL MANSON (*)
vs
ARLEY KIRK

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THIS MATCH IS FOR THE NVR R!ZE CHAMPIONSHIP OPPORTUNITY BRIEFCASE!!!

LET’S GO ARLEY!!!
KILL, REBEL!!! KILL!!!
LET’S GO ARLEY!!!
KILL, REBEL!!! KILL!!!
LET’S GO ARLEY!!!
KILL, REBEL!!! KILL!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first...

"Global domination" hits the system and there is a loud POP as Arley Kirk appears atop the Tron, black fuzzy LED angel wings on her back. Arley rips open a juice box and skills it before slamming the empty carton on her forehead several times and getting another POP as she slides down the support rigging to the ramp as though it's a fireman's pole and makes her way down the ramp, stopping for quick hugs and high fives and photos.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: "From Lake Fenton, MI. Weighing in at one hundred and ten pounds, she is one half of Kawaii Trash Pandas GO...this is "The suicide blonde", Arley Kirk!"

Arley opens a juice box at ringside and gets a good laugh as a small child opens his mouth and she pours Apple juice into it and also gets a warm reaction from giving her angel wings to a girl around the same age. Arley finally jumps up onto the apron and launches over the top rope before she gets one final POP by running and leaping to the top rope, showing off her superb balance as she stands dead center and motions for the fans to get louder. Arley Kirk backflips down to the ring and strikes a determined fighting pose as her music fades.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And her opponent...
"Run Rabbit Run" by Rob Zombie plays through the sound system as Rebel came out of the curtain he walked down the ramp flipping everyone off. He walked up the stairs as he walked to the corner he stands there.

The match begins with both Arley and Rebel trying to get the drop on each other. They run at each other full speed as soon as the bell rings and try to dropkick each other. They try to lock up, but Manson breaks it quickly with a kick. He runs the ropes, but Arley catches him with a hurrican-NO!!! Manson cartwheels away with an enzigu-NO!!! Forward roll by Kirk as she hits a cutter on Manson. Kirk goes for a triangle sitting, springboard moonsault, but Manson rolls out of the way as Arley hits the mat. Arm-trap Knee strike by Rebel to the face of Arley, and he pins her for a 2 count. He drags her to her feet and drapes her over the ropes. Manson hits the ropes and goes for a kamikaze crossbody, but Arley pulls the top rope down and Rebel just goes flying over the top and smashes onto the ground. She takes a moment to breathe, before slingshotting herself over the top rope and landing on Rebel. She grabs Manson up by his hair and whips him into the ring. She climbs up, looking for a springboard lariat, but Rebel pops to his feet right as she leaps onto the top rope, and jabs a thumb into her eyes. Arley gets draped over the top rope, and he uses her positioning to hit a dragon neck whip for the 1… 2… ARLEY GETS A FOOT ON THE ROPES!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: The intensity of this match keeps Arley alive!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: It’s crazy to watch these two just throw shit at a wall and hope it sticks.

GEMMA MARCHAND: It certainly makes for an exciting match-up!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: Don’t agree with me, please.

Rebel switches the tempo of the match with a series of strikes that keep Arley at bay. Every time she tries to get up, he boots her down or hits an elbow to the top of the skull. She times a forward somersault just right to get away from Manson, runs to the ropes, and a springboard- DROPKICK!!! Manson catches her right on the ropes and she lands trapped between the ropes. Hair Pull backbreaker by Rebel, as he stacks her up for the 1… 2… He puts his feet on the ropes for leverage, but the referee sees it anyway and stops the count. He lifts her up for a suplex, but she kicks her legs and gets behind him. Big german suplex by Arley Kirk. She hits the ropes and creams, Rebel Manson, with a Meteora. She pulls him to the center of the ring and goes for a Juice Box Serenade, but Manson rolls away during the moonsault. Arley lands on her feet, having scouted this counter, and hits a shooting star press on Rebel before he could get to his feet. She hits the ropes into a handspring backroll and lands the Juice Box Serenade on the second attempt. Rolling crucifix pin with a leg trap by Arley to further secure the pin… 1… 2… 3NO!!! REBEL KICKS OUT!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: BAH GAWD I THOUGHT IT WAS OVER!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: ARLEY KIRK WAS MERE MILLISECONDS FROM BEATING REBEL MANSON!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: Just goes to show that Kirk is the Jennety of the Trash Pandas!

GEMMA MARCHAND: ...Rude...

Arley has the full support of the fans, as she gets them to clap with her. She hooks Rebel up for the AK-97, but as she goes to spin around for the spinning cravate cutter, Rebel spins around and hits a back body drop on her. Rebel stumbles to the corner, as Arley struggles to get back to her feet. Manson charges at Kirk, but she catches him with a belly-to-belly suplex into the corner. Kirk runs around the ring into a shotgun dropkick into the face of Manson as he lays in the corner. She goes to the top and hits a Tiger Grace splash for the 1… 2… Rebel kicks out. Arley shakes her head in frustration, as she runs up and hits the Kirkensteiner, but the momentum of the Rana-driver actually makes Rebel roll out of the ring. Kirk sits on her knees and looks for wherever Manson rolled off to, but when she peers through the bottom ropes, she eats a big face rake by Manson. Arley flops around in the ring grabbing her face as Rebel grabs his briefcase from the time-keeper’s table. Manson comes back into the ring with his briefcase and smacks Arley in the back of the head. He hits her a few more times, warranting a disqualification call from Jeff the Ref. The bell rings two or three times before Jeff pulls him off and shoves Rebel away

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA DISQUALIFICATION... ARLEY KIRK… BUT STILL THE NVR R!ZE CHAMPIONSHIP OPPORTUNITY BRIEFCASE… REBEL MANSON!!!

Rebel realizes there's blood from Arley on the briefcase and licks it. He raises the briefcase high in the air as the fans boo the shit out of him. Manson just ignores it though, as he looks down at Arley with a smile. Jeff the Ref escorts Rebel out of the ring and demands he goes to the back. Rebel just acts like he’s going to hit Jeff with the briefcase, making the referee flinch, and then leaves.

K.T. ANDERSON: Look at the fucking swagger on Murder McGee over there. I’m fucking here for it.

GEMMA MARCHAND: Your opinions, like your fashion choices, is trash. Arley doesn’t deserve this and Rebel is supposed to be her friend!!!

[NVR Staff]

PREVIOUSLY RECORDED...
We see a close-up of the IJWF Heritage Championship, as Brea pats the front plate of it with a flash of confidence, as she smiled wickedly.

BREA LOMBARDI: "So, NVR has your IJWF Heritage Champion taking on Mainstream Wrestling Champion, Juliana DiMiria, and I for one am looking forward to facing the former NVR Women's Champion. The simple fact of things is, a champion is only as good as the people they defeat in the ring... and I want to build the legacy of this title the best that I can."

She said with a bit of a smile on her face, as Brea adjusted her belt on her shoulder.

BREA LOMBARDI: "A conflict like this was always inevitable, as people like me were never meant to be, for the lack of a better word, mainstream. I know I'm not someone everyone's gonna like. But, what I am is a rebel and a fighter. And I'm not going to lie down for someone just because it's "better for business." What I'm going to do is get in that ring and grab that egotistical broad by the neck and toss her out of my ring! I am going to rip her to shreds and prove that I belong in NVR because I am one of the best women in this business today! And nobody is going to take that away from me..."

She said, before exiting the scene and getting ready for her fight against Julianna.

[NVR Staff]

BACKSTAGE...
The scene cuts backstage to Julianna DiMaria, the Mainstream Wrestling World Champion. She does have her title with her on this night as she remains as intently focused as usual. She’s in more of a good mood following her recent title defense in NVR, but she’s definitely all business as she begins to express her thoughts.

JULIANNA DIMARIA: "Needless to say, it was good to get a win here in NVR and it was even better that I managed to make a successful title defense against an incredibly gifted competitor. There was definitely some doubt from some people here in NVR. People here generally think that I don’t have what it takes to get to that next level and making my title defense certainly proved that I did. It certainly softened the blow of recent setbacks, if I do say so myself. Nonetheless, I can’t bask in the glow of that anymore and I’ve got to look ahead to the challenge that I have ahead of me and that’s Brea Lombardi. She’s a plucky one. She’s a determined one. And she thinks she can just walk into this match and move up the ladder at NVR at my expense like I’m some kind of gatekeeper."

At this point, Julianna pauses and completely rolls her eyes, definitely indicating a sense of annoyance. At the same time, however, this annoyance is only for a split second as Julianna smirks though this. She’s able to contain her composure rather quickly as she continues to express her thoughts.

JULIANNA DIMARIA: "Here we go again, right? You see, last year, that sort of talk would completely bother me because it seemed like so many people took a lot of joy in doing that but it doesn’t brother me anymore. I’ve done more than enough in this business to know that the OLD Julianna who was constantly that gatekeeper is no longer a thing in NVR. This isn’t the old Julianna who would suddenly lose random matches to random people anymore. I know I’ve had my slips and falls in the past, but right now, I’m on top of my game and I don’t think Brea realizes that. I think she just sees me as a stepping stone. Not only am I far from that, but also, I have long passed that phase of my career. So, Brea, I’m not going to hold it against you. You’re new. You don’t know too much about the people in this company and you don’t know me."

"You don’t know that throughout this year, I’ve been having the best year of my career. I’m sure that you are a capable talent in your own right, Brea. I won’t deny you that. But against me? Yeah, you’ve going to learn a LOT about what the competition is like in NVR. Don’t think that just because I am coming off of a world title defense of my MAINSTREAM Wrestling World Championship on the last NVR show that I’m going to go into this thinking I’ve got it made and that I’m going to look right past you, because that’s not going to happen. See, I’ve got a purpose of my own in this match and it’s about time I need to show that NVR shouldn’t revolve around someone like Karen Willow and it damn sure shouldn’t revolve around someone like Tapp Adams. This match for me is to show that the true franchise of this company should be ME! I know that on any given night, I CAN be the best wrestler in this company and I’m not going to have a plucky upstart like you block my path and think you can just walk in here and see me as a stepping stone."

"Because I know for a fact that I’ve proven I’m not."

"You may be motivated in your own right, Brea. But with so much unfinished business here in NVR, I am motivated myself… VERY motivated… and a hell of a lot more motivated than you are. Tonight, you’ll be taught a few lessons and I’ll continue to show why I deserve to be considered an upper-echelon wrestler in this company. I’m not going to look past you, just as you’ve been looking past me on your little social media posts and such. This isn’t just another match for me. This is me making a statement, and unfortunately for you? Nothing personal? It’s going to be at your expense…"

Julianna calmly walks off the scene as it fades out.

SINGLES MATCH
JULIANNA DIMARIA
vs
BREA LOMBARDI

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THIS IS A SINGLES MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!

ONE FALL!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first...

The opening riffs of Leather Rebel play, as Brea struts out and posed on the top of the ramp. She flashed some devil horns and headbands briefly, before moving down the ramp and joining in with some fans, and climbs up the apron. She does a standing split, before rolling under the bottom rope and kipping up, before posing for the crowd as her theme fades.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And her opponent...

“Deal with the Devil” hits the speakers as Julianna DiMaria appears on the stage, greeted by some boos from the fans in attendance. She ignores them and heads down to the ring with a confident, focused look on her face. Once she heads inside the ring, she cracks her knuckles, indicating she's ready to fight, and afterward does the "talk to the hand" gesture toward all the fans that are booing her, displaying another touch of arrogance to get the fans against her even more. She heads to her corner and scoffs at the reaction she's getting as the song fades and she waits for what's coming next.

The bell rings, and both ladies go into a traditional lock-up. Brea gets an arm free and punches Julianna right in the diaphragm. DiMaria doubles over and Brea cracks her with a big Axe kick. Brea rebounds off the ropes and hits a cartwheel elbow drop on the neck of DiMaria. Lombardi pops back up, and she begins to stomp on Julianna’s head, but Julianna plans a roll just right and takes the legs out from beneath Brea. Julianna is quick to mount the back of Brea and locks in a camel clutch. Brea grabs at Julianna’s hands and tries to crawl to the ropes, but instead, she gets her knees beneath her. Lombardi powers up to her feet, holding Julianna on her back and delivering a backpack stunner! She goes for the cover, but Julianna is able to kick out at 2. Brea lifts her and goes for the Tornado of Souls, but Julianna tosses her off at the last second. Running knee strike by DiMaria before transitioning into a headlock and hitting a snap suplex. Julianna collects herself for a moment, before dragging Brea over to the corner. Brea lands some strikes, trying to break free of DiMaria’s grasp, but Julianna shoves her into the turnbuckles. Lombardi still strikes back, and nearly makes her way out of the corner, but Julianna is able to stiffly chop her across the chest to get her back where she wanted. She lifts Brea onto the top rope, and then climbs up next to her, so she could lift Brea with an avalanche Blue Thunder Bomb!!! Julianna covers… 1… 2… BREA KICKS OUT!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: WHAT A MOVE BY DIMARIA!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: MORE LIKE WHAT A KICK OUT BY LOMBARDI!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: They already seem to be pulling out all the stops, and we aren’t even that far into this match!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: $20 that DiMaria chokes here soon!

DiMaria begins to light Brea Lombardi up with more strikes, chopping away at her chest with as much intensity as she can muster. She whips Brea across the ring and follows her, but Brea climbs the turnbuckles and does a moonsault onto Julianna. Both women lay on the mat for a moment, before getting to their feet and instantly going back to scrapping it out. Brea gets the momentum advantage and goes for some Dwayne Johnson-style punches, but when it comes time for the big one, Julianna ducks it. DiMaria hits the ropes, going for a dropkick, but Brea sidesteps. Brea hits the ropes now and cleaves Julianna with her powerslide lariat. Cover, but only for a quick 2 count. Julianna begins to muster a comeback with some strikes, but a spinning crescent kick takes her right back down to the mat. Brea wraps Julianna up in a ripcord, and spins her out, looking for a knee, but DiMaria Counters with an Eat Defeat! Lombardi stumbles to the ropes, and Julianna charges after her, but Brea shoves Julianna through the middle and top rope out to the apron. She sweeps Julianna’s legs and climbs over to the nearest turnbuckles. She waits for Julianna to crawl back into the ring, before hitting her avalanche split-legged leg drop off the middle rope!!! She covers Julianna for the 1… 2… JULIANNA KICKS OUT!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: WHERE’S MY $20???

GEMMA MARCHAND: This match isn’t over K.T.!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: Might as well be, Brea Lombardi just decapitated Julianna right there!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: Julianna kicked out, so clearly she still has something left in the tank!

Trading desperation shots, as the fans seem to be split between both women. Boos and Woos come from every which way until Brea starts getting the momentum again. She sticks the ripcord knee this time and heads up to the top rope. She calls out for the Mosh Room stomp, but Julianna scouts this and gets out of the way. DiMaria smacks the rope Brea is standing on and knocks her ass first onto the top turnbuckle. Julianna staggers towards Brea, but Brea catches her with the Tornado of Souls DDT!!! Deep cover by Brea here, but Julianna kicks out at 2.99. Brea can’t believe it as she smacks the mat. Back to her feet, she sets up for the Symphony of Destruction, but Julianna scouts the finisher setup and is quick to escape. Julianna shoves Brea away but eats a massive pump kick as Brea catches her footing and leaps forward. Julianna stumbles into the corner, and Brea uses a 4 count to do a split-legged choke on her opponent. After the referee requests Brea out of the corner, Lombardi drags DiMaria out to the center of the ring. Lombardi looks to be setting up for something, but Julianna ducks a roundhouse from Brea and clips her with a big chop block. Julianna desperately hits the ropes and takes down Brea with a wicked shining wizard!!! DiMaria grabs Lombardi up to her feet and delivers the DiMaria code for the 1… 2… 3!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA PINFALL... JULIANNA DIMARIA!!!

Julianna stumbles to her feet and gets her hand raised. She screams out that she’s coming for Karen and the NVR World Championship. Brea rolls out of the ring and kicks dust because she was so close to winning yet again. DiMaria leaves the ring, and the two women exchange glances, signifying this may not be the last time we see them fight, but Julianna is riding too high off the win to dwell on anything other than a future title shot she feels she’s in line for.

GEMMA MARCHAND: Strong showing by both women here, but Julianna DiMaria is the only one that can claim victory here tonight!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: Why doesn’t Julianna DiMaria just give it up? Anyone can achieve anything in Mainstream, but this is where real wrestlers come to play.

[NVR Staff]

DURING THE BREAK...
We cut back to the outside of the arena where Tapp Wrestling can now be seen chaining himself to the front doors. This is preventing anyone else from coming inside. And for a brief moment there’s a slight ruckus. Fans began to turn angry and hostile which puts a smile on Mr. Wrestling 4K’s face. But before they can get too upset The Dople Twins aka The RicHoez walk out of a side door looking down at one of their phones. Before the door can shut behind them many of the upset fans rush over to the door and begin to head inside leaving a deflated looking Tapp there hanging his head.

TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
TAG TEAM MATCH
WORLD'S MOST OKAY TAG TEAM (C)
(RILEY SAVELL & JESSICA ANDERSON)
vs
ONI
(KAI URIGAWA & TIGER H)

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THIS MATCH IS FOR THE NVR TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!

LET'S GO ONI!!!
OKAY-ISH!!!
LET'S GO ONI!!!
OKAY-ISH!!!
LET'S GO ONI!!!
OKAY-ISH!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first, the challengers...

The Real Man by the Seatbelts plays throughout the arena as Kai Urigawa and Tiger H make their way out with black towels around their neck. Tiger H has a black tiger mask on and Kai has a black mouthpiece behind his ear. Scanning the crowd, ONI looks at potential victims for the night before making their way to the ring. Stepping inside the ring, Kai and Tiger H stand in the center and looks at the ground while black, red, and white Streamers fill the ring. Ripping the streamers, ONI makes their way to a corner turnbuckle and tosses their towels at a stagehand.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And now introducing the champions ...

The bright white lights from above slowly begin to dim throughout the building. The sounds of “Control” by Halsey begin playing over the speakers as other light sources begin to pulsate in rhythm with the opening tones. A bright white light shines from the entranceway as it begins to fill with smoke until a silhouette of a woman is seen standing on the other side.

“They send me away to find them a fortune
A chest filled with diamonds and gold”

Slowly walking out from the back, Riley Savell steps out into the open as a spotlight shines down onto her, not dressed up for the gimmick whatsoever. Stopping at the top of the ramp, she looks over the arena, slowly turning her head from left to right, taking in the scenery of the atmosphere for tonight’s event. She pauses as "I Wish" by Cher Lloyd feat T.I. hits the speakers, and a few seconds later Jessica Anderson emerges from the curtain, dressed in a Ditto version of Riley (or is Riley the Ditto and Jessica not participating? Who knows?). She stands with her feet roughly a shoulder-width apart and raises her right index finger into the air. At the top of her lungs, she screams out aggressively to let everyone know just how good she and Riley Savell are.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: “Coming down to the ring at this time from... ‘The Villain’... RILEY SAVELL... 'The Sidekick' Jessica Anderson... The World’s Most Okayish Tag Team!!!"

The women begin to make their way down the ramp, walking to the beat of the music. They look around the venue as Jessica quickly leaps up onto the ring apron, and Riley Savell slides between her legs. Jessica before straddles the middle rope as Riley kneels in the ring, looking at their opponents. Jessica winks at the camera before Riley gets up and gives Jess's backside a slight spank. From here, Riley and Jessica got to the corner and Savell climbs up to stand on the middle rope, and Jessica backs into the corner between Riley's legs, both ready for the match to start.

Kai and Jessica start the match off. Jessica, knowing she’s at a size disadvantage, darts around the ring, trying to evade Kai’s advances. Jessica goes to ducks lariat, but it was a trap! Kai swings his heel around and connects with her face. She stumbles backward and in a flash, Urigawa has her on the mat in a headlock. Jessica uses her flexibility to get out from beneath Kai, and slowly tries to get to her feet. Kai transitions into a Muay-Thai Clinch and begins to drill knees into the face of Jessica. He drives her to the corner and tags in Tiger H, before proceeding to hit Jessica with simultaneous penalty kicks to the chest and back! Tiger H locks in a straight jacket/surfboard combo Jess has nowhere to go but refuses to give up. Riley Savell rushes into the ring and hits a wicked superkick to break the hold. Kai comes in to chase Riley out of the ring, but she catches him with a basement dropkick. She and jess quickly roll him out of the ring, before catching Tiger H with double superkicks. Jess and Riley hit opposing ring ropes, before hitting double-ass kisser hip strikes. Jessica and Riley go back to the corner as they trade a tag. Riley hits a Savell stomp just to make sure Tiger H was down before pinning him 1… 2… KAI PULLS SAVELL OUT OF THE RING!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: WHAT THE FUCK??? THAT’S ILLEGAL!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: SINCE WHEN DO YOU CARE???

K.T. ANDERSON: SINCE IT’S MY GIRLS JESSICA AND RILEY!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: You’re absolutely ridiculous.

At ringside, Kai and Riley trade strikes, as Jessica gets onto the apron and hits a shooting star press off of it onto Kai! Riley and Jess lift Kai, but Tiger H makes his way to the top rope and hits a big moonsault on everyone. H grabs Savell up and throws her back into the ring, before hitting her with a Wheelbarrow destroyer. He holds her there for a pin 1… 2… Riley kicks out as Kai gets to the corner. Tiger H tags his partner in and asks for Kai to lift Riley in an electric chair. Urigawa obliges, and Tiger H hits a Whisper in the Wind off the top rope to take Riley down. Kai pulls Savell back up into a Dragon Suplex, and bridges into a pin 1… 2… Jessica is back in the ring now. Anderson dropkicks Tiger H off the apron and lights, Kai, up. She shakes Riley to get her to snap out of the haze, and they begin to target Kai. They hit Pretty Vulgar and both members of WMOTT cover Kai!!! 1… 2… SUPREME FLAMING LEG DROP OF DOOM!!! Tiger H hits the shooting star press the leg drop onto Jess and Riley. Tiger and Jess roll out of the ring as Riley and Kai get to their feet. She goes for the Mockingjay German, but Kai rolls to his feet and hits a running knee strike. He covers her 1… 2… RILEY KICKS OUT!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: YES RILEY!!! I FUCKING LOVE THAT WOMAN!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: Kai Urigawa nearly had this match won!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: BUT HE DIDN’T BAY BAY!!! JESS AND RILEY ARE NEVER GONNA LOSE THOSE TITLES!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: I wouldn’t hold my breath. ONI has just as many answers for what WMOTT has.

Desperation strikes from Kai and Riley at this point, as they continue to stalemate each other and prevent the other from getting the tag. Riley lands a near-perfect question mark kick that staggers Kai and follows up with a sling blade that takes the Dragon of Jacksonville down to the mat. She goes for the hot tag and Jessica Anderson chases him down, but Kai is able to get the tag in just in time. Tiger H leapfrogs over the top rope and hits a forearm onto Jess as she chases Kai. He runs to hit Riley, but she jumps off the apron before he could hit her. Jessica tries for a Crossbody, but Tiger H just catches her with a double knee gutbuster. Tiger H has Jess right where he wants her, as he goes to the top rope. He leaps off for The Supreme Flaming Leg Drop of Doom, but Jessica Anderson rolls out of the way. H is able to scout this and land on his leg, but his ankle buckles!!! He drops down but quickly rolls away from a curb stomp by Jessica. He goes to his feet, but can’t stand on the bad ankle. Jessica catches Tiger H with a small package as he doubles over to check his ankle. The referee begins to count 1… 2… Kai tries to intercept the pin, but Riley Savell comes in to play defense and catches him with a superkick… 3!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA PINFALL... AND STILL NVR TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS… JESSICA ANDERSON & RILEY SAVELL… WORLD’S MOST OKAY TAG TEAM!!!

Jessica and Riley celebrate another win, as they inch closer to being the longest reigning tag team champions in NVR History. They have their hands raised, but at ringside, Tiger H is getting his ankle looked at. He’s thrown his boot off and trainers are looking at it, explaining that it may be broken. Kai Urigawa looks pissed, as yet another member of ONI has been injured and leaving him all alone. Kai leaves Tiger H to the Trainers as he walks to the back. Riley and Jessica are still celebrating in the ring.

GEMMA MARCHAND: Love Riley and Jess, I buy both Bien Habille and Pretty Vulgar all the time, but you gotta feel for Tiger H with that possible injury and the frustration of Kai Urigawa.

K.T. ANDERSON: Fuck it, the World’s Most Over Tag Team retains and THAT’S ALL I CARE ABOUT!!!

PREVIOUSLY RECORDED:
On a sunny afternoon “Enforcer” Anthony Cross is sitting at a table on the balcony of “Le Garage” restaurant in Sausalito, California. Anthony has set his chair up to be looking at the Pacific Ocean and has a plate of Eggs Benedict on the table in front of him along with a glass of Cardinale Cabernet Napa Valley next to the plate. Anthony sits back and cracks a smile.

ANTHONY CROSS: It has just been over three months since I pulled off a coup by seizing the opportunity to become the San Francisco Openweight champion. As the world saw I turned away three challengers for my piece of the gold. So, who will be the next to step up and try to take my championship away from me? I don’t know and I could care less.

Anthony reaches over and takes a sip of wine.

ANTHONY CROSS: Regardless of who it is, I will remain San Francisco Openweight champion. While I will proudly represent Brooklyn till the day my casket drops and I take my final trip south of the border. But that city that sits just a few miles away I have always been fond of for a plethora of reasons. So needless to say but I am going to say it anyway that I will obviously be champion as long as I care to be and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. I may not be the one who brought the legacy of San Francisco Wrestling to NVR like AJ Morales did or have many title defenses and length of the title reign as Marvelous Dark has...yet. But I eventually will be. That is simply inevitable.

[NVR Staff]

DURING THE BREAK...
Back outside of the arena. And Tapp Wrestling is now the lone person in the parking lot. Seemingly all out of ideas, he gathers his many protesting tools, the Chain ,the sign, and a bullhorn. The submission specialist walks over to his 2007 Saturn Ion and dumps his belongings to the cars trunk. Looking defeated, TWFKA Tapp Addams shakes his head and sits down in the driver’s seat.

NVR WRESTLING
R!ZE CHAMPIONSHIP
R!ZE ABOVE MATCH
LASH DONOHUE (C) vs SIOBHAN MAHONEY vs ROOFLESS
vs DANA ALANS vs BERT COCAINE

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

R!ZE ABOVE!!!
R!ZE ABOVE!!!
R!ZE ABOVE!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first...

Caught Up by Death From Above 1979 starts up on the P.A. System, the guitars distorted for the first few riffs before the drums kick in. A Tim Burton style black and white swirl with the words “BERT COCAINE” on the Tron hypnotically twirled as Bert himself walked out from behind the curtain, his face lit up with excitement, his jaw was almost on the floor, his hands in the air as he was dancing rhythmically with the sharp and short guitar riffs. They were crazy jerks and gestures like a bad interpretive dance. Bert on the other hand felt like he was nailing it, practically floating to the ring.

The song hits the chorus “I’m not caught up like all the other guys but I’m still caught up on somethin’!” as Bert wraps his arms around fans and kind of moshes for a second, very over-dramatic to emphasize the guitar riff. There was no need for pyros, just chill vibes, good tunes, and lots of flashing lights. During the second verse of the song, Bert does his weird dance around the ring towards the other side where he makes another brief mosh pit for the second chorus.

The breakdown gives Bert enough time to slide into the ring and once the third chorus hits with the “I'M NOT CAUGHT UP LIKE ALLLLL THE OTHER GUYS BUT I’M STILL CAUGHT UP ON SOMETHIN’! ooOooOOOoooOo” Bert goes insane. He throws off his housecoat, he throws his sunglasses into the crowd, he throws his hat to the outside as the crowd goes nuts with him. Hair tousled, pre-match Zumba works out with the audience done, Bert was ready to fight.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And the next opponent…

YOU MAKE ME VICIOUS

The opening line of Vicious by Halestorm plays as the lights all turn red. The first verse continues as a spotlight shines on the stage. The chorus hits and so does Siobhan Mahoney as she steps into her spotlight. She poses at the top of the stage, bending a knee and throwing an arm up so that people can ogle even more of her. She walks down to the ring with the spotlight following her and hearing only cheers for herself despite there not being any. The Hot Mess walks up the steps and across the apron posing on the ropes while demanding the referee to open them for her. The referee reluctantly obliges and Siobhan skips to the center of the ring, before pointing to herself and letting everyone know she deserves greatness. The spotlight and her music stop, but Siobhan is still all about herself as she waits for the match to start.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And now...

“You Shook Me All Night Long” by AC/DC hits and the lights flash red and blue, signaling the arrival of everybody’s favorite hobo! The music builds up progressively, every chord that plays generating excitement and as the drums smash, out comes Roofless in his signature Australian lucha mask and street blanket for a cape, beating his chest like King Kong and screaming “MAAAAAAAAAATE!!!” at the top of his lungs. The crowd of course responds with passion, as Roofless nods back at them in acknowledgment and removes the blanket from around his shoulders, throwing it to the crowd and marching to the ring in defiance. The homeless Australian was in the building... and he was drinking Hobo Juice.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And the final challenger...

The lights in the arena go dark as Valhalla" by Blind Guardian begins to play. A massive figure walks through the curtain to a chorus of boos. On the screen, The Australian Behemoth flashes quickly followed by the rune of the god Odin. The lights slowly fade in as Danela Alans are revealed and her name appears on the screen in dripping blood. Danela sneers at the crowd while she stomps her way to the ring. When she reaches the apron she grasps the top rope and pulls herself into the ring. Danela gives a wry smile as she draws a line in the sand and does a massive stomp in the middle inviting her opponent to battle. She lets out a war cry as her music fades.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing now, the champion...

The arena plunges into darkness apart from a shimmering red strobe on the stage which moves in tune to the beat, there is an explosion of fiery pyro, and Lash gets a warm reaction as he leaps out from the backstage area at the same time. Lash Donohue strides down the ramp confidently, his arms stretched out, slapping the hands which reach out to him. The fans get a lot more enthusiastic as Lash leaps up onto the barricade and shows off his agility. Lash reaches the end of the barricade wall and looks around, giving a somewhat cocky smirk as several flashbulbs go off while he leaps from the Wall to the ring apron, strikes his trademark pose, and 'skins the cat'. Lash Donohue ascends to the top rope and gestures for the crowd to get louder before jumping down and awaiting his opponent.

The match starts in absolute chaos, as all five competitors explode into a brawl. Dana just comes put and creams Roofless with Ride the Lightning, and he rolls to the outside. Lash charges at Siobhan, but she evades him and thrust kicks the shit out of Bert. Siobhan ducks a grab by Dana, but Dana grabs her by her gear and pulls her back into a big back suplex. She turns her focus on the R!ZE Champion, but Bert grabs her leg, and Roofless hits a springboard blockbuster off the top rope. Roofless goes on a tear, after being semi-humiliated by Dana, and tales down Bert, Lash, and Siobhan with strikes. Dana uses the corner to get up, but Roofless takes her down with the Soleless Survivor. With everyone down early, Roofless is the first to attempt the climb to the cables and shimmy across to the title. He doesn't get very far as Dana gets up and Lash begins to climb on the other side. Dana lifts Bert into a powerbomb position AND THROWS HIM AT ROOFLESS!!! Bert’s head lands perfectly in the groin of Roofless and both men fall to the mat!!! Siobhan Mahoney gets on the middle rope as Lash and leaps off, catching him by the waist and hitting him with a wheelbarrow facebuster. Siobhan gets to her feet and sees Dana making her way across the cables. Siobhan, being smaller and faster. Climbs up the nearest turnbuckles and shuffles across the way. They meet in the center with the R!ZE Championship dangling in-between them. They kick at each other as they dangle, and Dana begins to lose her grip, so Siobhan starts to aim a little higher at Alans’ arms. Dana loses grip with one hand, so she uses it to catch one of Siobhan’s legs and just drop down YANKING MAHONEY DOWN WITH HER!!! THEY CRASH IN AN AWKWARD HEAP!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: These five are leaving no time trying to retrieve the title, and my girl Siobhan got the closest out of everyone!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: Yea, but she also got powerbombed and dropped on the back of her head!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: IT WON’T MATTER WHEN SHE’S THE NEW CHAMPION, GEMMA!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: There are literally four other people in that ring that would like to have a word with you one that...

Siobhan and Lash begin to trade shots in the center of the ring, but Bert and Roofless come running in and knock them both down. Lash and Siobhan is able to get the momentum back and whip Bert and Roofless respectively to the outside. Lash and Siobhan hit the ropes simultaneously and hit dueling suicide dives, BUT THEY BOTH FAIL!!! For Siobhan, Roofless spits Hobo Juice into the face of Siobhan before she can get through the ropes. As for Lash, Bert Cocaine slides underneath the bottom as Lash comes through the top and middle ropes, so Donohue just crashes face-first into the barricade and crashes horribly to the ground. Bert and Roofless begin to double team The Hot Mess, but not like that you dirty-minded sickos. Bert hits her with T.I.T.S, and Roofless goes for the “It Came from Australia”, but suddenly Dana comes in and shoulder-tackles both Roofless and Bert. Siobhan tries to thank Dana, looking for maybe a temporary “Girl Power” alliance, but instead, she gets hit with a pop-up powerbomb! Dana goes over to Cocaine and powerbombs him too! Dana completes the trifecta by hitting her Behemoth’s Wrath powerbomb on Roofless. As soon as Dana hits that final powerbomb, Siobhan stumbles to her feet and dropkicks Dana right in the ass so she stumbles to the outside. Siobhan sees Bert slowly getting to his feet, so she throws him to the outside too. She quickly runs to the nearest corner and begins to climb to the top so that she can get to the cables and head for the R!ZE Championship. To her surprise, Roofless is right behind her, climbing up the other side of the pole. She begins to boot him away, but he gets closer to her as she climbs, so she ditches the idea for going to the ropes. She climbs all the way to the top of the structure, with Roofless right behind her. Siobhan turns around, barely keeping her feet on the structure, as Roofless begins to grab at her feet and try to trip her up. He begins to climb onto the top of the structure too when Siobhan places his head between her legs and leaps of WITH A DESTROYER FROM THE TOP OF THE STRUCTURE!!! They land on Dana, Lash, and Bert as the crowd begins to chant “THIS IS AWESOME”!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: OH MY GOD!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: HOLY SHIT!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: A DESTROYER FROM THE TOP OF THE R!ZE ABOVE THINGY!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: BAH GAWD!!! THEY ALL GOTTA BE DEAD!!!

More failed climbs and multiple momentum swings, and we see the current R!ZE Champion shimmying across the cable to try and reclaim his title. Bert Cocaine gets to his feet and throws pocket sand up into Lash’s face! Lash drops from the rope, but lands on his feet, just for Bert to hit the Russian Flash Bang on Lash and Roofless to follow up with a Soleless Survivor!!! Siobhan runs up and dropkicks Roofless into the ropes. She tries to whip Bert there too, but Bert switches momentum and whips her in. He goes for a rebound dropkick, but nobody is home as Mahoney holds the ropes and Cocaine hits the mat. Mahoney isn’t safe though as Dana Alans come running full-speed, hitting a double lariat and taking both Siobhan and Roofless over the top rope with her. At ringside, Roofless and Siobhan are taking on Dana, but the Aussie Behemoth is handling the numbers game with ease. Finally, Mahoney and the No Homie get on the same page and superkick Dana in the knees. Roofless drags the ring steps over to the commentary table, as Siobhan grabs a handful of Dana’s hair. They climb to the top of the chair, hook their arms around her head and cross her legs for a BRAINBUSTER THROUGH THE COMMENTARY TABLE!!! The table shatters as Roofless and Siobhan get back to their feet. K.T. is marking out, despite his iced coffee getting thrown everywhere. Roofless goes to hi-five Siobhan for the sick spot, BUT SHE KICKS HIM IN THE HEAD!!! Shillelagh by Mahoney as she climbs into the ring BUT LASH DONOHUE HITS HER WITH 3-9 KNEES!!! Mahoney rolls back out of the ring as Lash looks around and sees Bert climbing up the ring post, and quickly chases after him. Bert begins to stomp on Lash’s face as he tries to climb the ring post behind him. Dana, Siobhan, and Roofless slowly get back to their feet right outside as Donohue grabs Bert’s foot. Lash climbs up a bit and BACK BODY DROPS BERT!!! Bert Cocaine goes crashing onto the other three opponents! Lash looks down at all of the challengers down at ringside. Donohue climbs up to the cables and scoots across to retrieve the R!ZE title for the win!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... AND STILL NVR R!ZE CHAMPION… LASH DONOHUE!!!

Lash stumbles to the ring ropes and raises his title high in the air, being the first champion to defend and defend successfully in the R!ZE Above match. He counts up to the number six, representing the number of defenses he’s had. Dana looks at Lash with absolute disgust as she walks away from the ring, Bert takes a bump of the Last name dust and screams out he’s ready for around 2 whenever, Roofless climbs under the ring because that’s his home for the night, and Siobhan seems to be making winky faces at K.T. as she walks to the back.

GEMMA MARCHAND: Big win for Lash here tonight. It sucks that he can’t cash in his opportunity for another match with Karen, but he officially has the most defenses of any R!ZE Champion!

K.T. ANDERSON: Who the fuck is Lash, all I can think about is that Hot Mess!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first, the challenger...

The lights in the arena go dark as "Supernova" by Primal Fear begins to play. A single red spotlight illuminates a figure on the stage as the image of a burning Tiger Mask appears on the ‘Tron and fog begins to creep across the stage and down the ramp. The spotlight turns to white, but nobody shows up. The music continues to play, and even restarts, just in case Risa missed her cue, but nobody comes out.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Ladies and Gentlemen, we seem to be having some issues reaching the challenger… so instead we will be introducing the champion first!!!

THIS IS NOT ENOUGH

“All The Thing She Said” by Poppy plays and the arena lights flicker between pink and darkness while thick smoke fills the stage. As the beat kicks in, Karen Willow steps through the curtain - illuminated by a single spotlight - as she surveys the fans with narrowed eyes. The corners of her mouth slowly curl upwards before Karen saunters down the ramp. As she gets to ringside, Karen climbs through the ropes and paces around the ring like a caged animal, never taking her eyes off the opponent as the music fades out.

Karen stands there waiting for word about her opponent. Valentina listens into her in-ear radio, and nods, getting word that Risa is on her way now.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Finally, the challenger...

The lights in the arena go dark as "Supernova" by Primal Fear begins to play. A single red spotlight illuminates a figure on the stage as the image of a burning Tiger Mask appears on the ‘Tron and fog begins to creep across the stage and down the ramp. The spotlight turns to white as the hooded SuperNova raises her head to look out across the audience. Before she can walk down the ramp though, Tapp Wrestling comes from behind and blasts her in the back of the head with his briefcase. He smacks her a few times with the briefcase before pulling a microphone out from his waistband.

TAPP WRESTLING: YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD KEEP ME OFF THIS CARD??? YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD HIDE FROM ME, AND MAKE THE RULES UP AS YOU GO??? WELL GUESS WHAT? NOW YOU DON’T HAVE A MAIN EVENT ANYMORE!!! THE REAL NVR WORLD CHAMPION SAYS THE SHOW IS OVER!!!

Tapp raises his briefcase high in the air, but Karen motions for a microphone of her own.

KAREN WILLOW: Tapp…

She pauses for a moment and shakes her head.

KAREN WILLOW: I’m so sick and tired of your BITCHING. I’m sick and tired of you and that stupid fucking briefcase. You’ve sat on it long enough, and all you’ve done is complain about how you haven’t had a chance to cash it in… well here’s your moment. No Caleb Jackson… No Mr. Wrestling 3K… Nobody but you, me, and the referee. Come down here, cash in that stupid briefcase, and let’s get this over with because we both know you can’t beat me!

Karen flips the microphone and waits for Tapp to answer. Tapp looks at Karen like she just pissed in his Wheaties, as he brings that Microphone back up to his mouth.

TAPP WRESTLING: You’d like that, wouldn’t you? You’d like me to cash in, so you can twist the rules up however you want and take my REAL NVR World Championship from me, but here’s the thing Karen… I was planning on doing that anyway.

Tapp throws the microphone down on the ground and runs down to the ring. He slides underneath the bottom rope and tries to swing the briefcase at Karen’s head, but Karen ducks it, hits the ropes and pump-fakes a Wolf Fang Fist. Tapp flops on the mat anyways, as an overreaction to the faked superwoman punch. Karen tells Tapp to get up, and Tapp spits towards her as he gets up, “but not because she told him to”.

Karen rolls her eyes as Jeff the Ref asks if Tapp is still going to cash in. Tapp waits a moment and then decides against cashing in. Karen yells at Tapp, as Tapp walks towards the ropes, and runs up and grabs him by the hair. Tapp was waiting for this, as he smacks her over the top of the head with the briefcase, and shoves her to the mat. Tapp finally hands Jeff the briefcase and screams “ring the bell” as he drops down on Karen.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: TAPP WRESTLING IS CASHING IN HIS CHAMPIONSHIP OPPORTUNITY BRIEFCASE!!! THEREFORE, THIS MATCH IS FOR THE NVR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!

LET’S GO KAREN!!!
LET’S GO TAPP!!!

LET’S GO TAPP!!!

The Bell rings as Tapp goes for the pin, but before Jeff the Ref could even make a 1 count, Karen reverses Tapp’s pin into a crucifix pin!!! 1… 2… TAPP KICKS OUT!!! Mr. Wrestling 4K looks shocked, and instantly charges at Karen for a double leg takedown, but she brings a knee up and catches Tapp's surgically restored jaw!!! Karen grabs him by the hair and hits a Kaboom Exploder Suplex into the nearest set of turnbuckles. She goes to the corner, cocks her wrist, punches the ground, and screams out “YAM-CHA”, but before she can hit her Wolf Fang Fist, Tapp rolls to the outside. The crowd boos Tapp for running away, as Karen tells him he needs to come back in. Tapp takes a whole 9 counts before returning to the ring, just to run back out. Karen gets tired of waiting on Tapp, so she slingshots to the outside. Tapp slides in right as she does, but Karen catches this and lands perfectly on the apron. Tapp charges, but Karen catches him with an elbow. Springboard blockbuster-TAPP COUNTERS INTO A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX!!! He bridges into a pin, but Karen kicks out at 1! Tapp looks pissed as he quickly goes into a wristlock. He flexes as he does so, and Karen uses this moment to bridge back, spin-out from the hold into a handspring, spin under Tapp’s hand and place him in her own wristlock!!! Karen flexes to mock Tapp and the crowd pops for her, before shoving Tapp to the ground. Pu’ar Says Hi to the back of the head, and Karen hits the ropes to follow up with Mina's Blessing Shining Wizard. However, as she comes to kick Tapp, Tapp rolls backward and grabs Karen in a single leg Boston crab. Karen is quickly scrambling to the ropes to break the hold, but Tapp holds on for a 4 count. Tapp goes to attack Karen, but she does a double nipple twist!!! She holds for a 4 count as well, before screaming “FUCK IT” and hits a wild crossbody onto Tapp into a pin attempt… 1… 2… 3-NO!!! TAPP KICKS OUT!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: YOU GO KAREN!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: WHAAAAT??? SHE JUST TWISTED THAT MAN’S NIPS HOW CAN YOU CHEER FOR THAT???

GEMMA MARCHAND: ARE YOU JOKING??? TAPP STARTED THIS MATCH BY HITTING KAREN WITH HIS BRIEFCASE!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: YEA, BUT SHE DESERVED IT!!! TAPP DOESN’T DESERVE THAT DISRESPECT!!!

Karen continues to hold the momentum in her favor as her unorthodox style keeps Tapp guessing every which way. He keeps trying to take things technical, but a well-timed butt punch or an unexpected monkey flip prevents him from taking it where he wants. Karen gets a little cocky though, and tries to lock Tapp in that paradise lock she calls the Wolf Hurricane, but apparently, Tapp recently did a module about that in Wristlock Academy and escapes it before she can lock him in the hold. He shoves her into the ropes and then hits her with a chop block. A series of arm drags disorients the Champion, and now Tapp is able to trap Karen in an arm-trap arm breaker. He threatens to break Karen’s arm if she doesn’t submit. She promptly tells him to “GO FUCK YOURSELF”, so he drops back and seemingly breaks her arm!!! Karen sprawls around the ring, grabbing at her shoulder, as Tapp runs up on her to capitalize-SPINNING BACKFIST!!! Karen uses her good arm to stop Tapp right in his tracks, before hitting a KarenCantRana that spikes Tapp’s head into the mat! She quickly shoves her dislocated shoulder back into the socket with a scream, before going right back to the match. Karen hits the ropes and tries for a sling blade, but gets hit with a dropkick out of the air by Tapp. He lifts her up in a Burning Hammer, before running at the corner and slamming her into the turnbuckles. Karen lays on the top turnbuckle, and Tapp quickly transitions into a Piledriver right from the corner! Tapp quickly readjusts himself on the back of Karen to lock in a DEEP Boston Crab, sitting right on her head and bending so far back her legs nearly touch the mat. Karen’s arms can be seen going limp, and Jeff the Ref does the ol’ drop check… 1 Drop… 2 Drops… 3 Dr-NO!!! KAREN IS STILL ALIVE!!! The ropes are right in reach and she grabs them!!! Jeff the Ref tells Tapp to let go, and Tapp releases on the 4 count!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: HOW DID SHE SURVIVE ALL OF THAT???

GEMMA MARCHAND: KAREN WILLOW IS OUR LONGEST REIGNING CHAMPION OF ALL TIME. THERE’S NOT MUCH SHE CAN’T SURVIVE!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: THIS IS BULLSHIT I TELL YOU!!! BULLSHIT!!! SOMEONE PISS TEST HER!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: THE ONLY THING KAREN WOULD POP FOR IF SHE DID IS PERFORMANCE ENHANCING TALENT!!!

Tapp focuses on that bad shoulder, throwing her into the corner shoulder first, and hitting shoulder drop arm-wringers to make her land even harder on the bad shoulder. Karen tries fighting through it, as Tapp locks her arm on the top rope, and wrenches it back. Obviously, this is illegal, so Jeff the Ref has to call for him to break the hold, and Tapp releases at 4.999. Tapp goes to hit a running knee, but Karen moves out of the way and Tapp hits the ropes hard. He leans on the ropes for a second, but Karen goes for a VERY familiar springboard german, but with an added O’Connor Roll before executing the suplex. She bridges for the pin, but Tapp kicks out at 2.999! Both get up, and Karen shoves Tapp through the ropes and out to the apron. Karen hits the rope- DIVING SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB TO THE OUTSIDE!!! Both Karen and Tapp lay on the ringside floor, as Jeff the Ref begins his count. At around the 5 or 6 count, both wrestlers are on their feet and trading desperation strikes. Karen catches Tapp with a big elbow and goes for the Wolf Fang Fist, but Tapp pops her up and flapjacks her shoulder first into the ring post! Tapp slides back into the ring, and back out to break the count at 9.999! Tapp walks to another part of ringside and stalks Karen as she gets to her feet. He begins to run, springboarding off the steel steps for a knee- WOLF FANG FIST!!! Karen knocks Tapp out on his feet and the crowd pops like crazy, but she used all of her energy for that move. She desperately tries to get Tapp up and back into the ring, and barely makes it back in before the count finishes. Karen goes to the corner and waits for her challenger to get back on his feet. The moment he does, Karen rushes Tapp to finish the match- WOLF FANG FI- TAPP MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!!! Karen accidentally hits Jeff the Ref and he goes down. Tapp rolls to the outside and pulls the NVR World Championship from the time-keeper’s table. He comes back in and goes to hit Karen with the be- WOLF FANG FI- TAPP USES THE TITLE TO BLOCK THE PUNCH!!! Karen grabs her fist and Tapp smacks her across the back of the head with the title. He sees that Jeff is waking back up, so he quickly locks in The Tapp Classic, and Jeff sees that Karen is unresponsive from the title. Jeff does 3 full arm drops and has no choice but to call the match!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA SUBMISSION... AND NEW NVR WORLD CHAMPION… TAPP WRESTLING!!!

BOOS POUR IN!!! Tapp grabs the NVR World Championship and tells Jeff the Ref to raise his hand. The referee tries to oblige, but Tapp pulls his hand away and raises his own hand! Trash is getting thrown into the ring now, as Tapp celebrates in the ring. Karen gets rolled out of the ring and is checked upon by EMTs, as Tapp screams to play his music. However, his music doesn’t play… "Seventeen girls in a row" by Steel Panther does.

That’s right, Lash Donohue comes out, raising his R!ZE Championship high in the air. He makes his way down to the ring, and the crowd is absolutely torn now. Lash makes his way into the ring and they both get right into each other’s faces. Tapp raises his title high, and Lash raises his title just as high. Lash pulls a microphone from his waistline and begins to speak.

LASH DONOHUE: Congrats on stealing that to finally become the REAL NVR Champion, Tapioca, but uh… I’ve waited long enough, and I’m cashing this bad boy in for a match against you next month!!!

Tapp snatches the microphone out of Lash’s hands with a smirk.

TAPP WRESTLING: No… you won’t be cashing in… because he is.

Tapp points behind Lash, to reveal Rebel Manson standing behind him. Rebel runs up and smashes Lash across the back of the head with the NVR R!ZE Briefcase, which still has blood on it from his earlier match with Arley Kirk. Lash goes down hard and Tapp rolls out of the ring. Rebel hands the briefcase to Jeff the Ref and tells him to cash it in.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: REBEL MANSON IS CASHING IN HIS CHAMPIONSHIP OPPORTUNITY BRIEFCASE!!! THEREFORE, THIS MATCH IS FOR THE NVR R!ZE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

Lash barely gets to his feet in the corner before Rebel hits a springboard tornado DDT. Lash is out cold in front of the corner as Manson goes to the top and hits his Descendant From Above for the 1… 2… 3!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA SUBMISSION... AND NEW NVR R!ZE CHAMPION…REBEL MANSON!!!

MORE BOOS!!! The crowd is filled with disdain and hate as Rebel Manson grabs his new title now, and goes to the back, flipping everyone off. As Manson disappears into the back and Lash Donohue is taken to be checked up by trainers, Tapp grabs everyone’s attention at ringside.

TAPP WRESTLING: I AM YOUR NOW YOUR REAL UNDISPUTED NVR WORLD CHAMPION AND WITH THAT, EVERYONE… I QUIT!!!

Tapp throws the NVR World Championship over his shoulder and hops over the barricade, escaping into a very hostile crowd that throws trash and covid masks at him as he raises the title and leaves Studio Merlot in a chorus of boos.

GEMMA MARCHAND: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON TONIGHT??? CAN HE DO THAT???

K.T. ANDERSON: MR. WRESTLING 4K, TAPP WRESTLING, JUST WALKED AWAY WITH THE NVR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!! THAT’S SO FUCKING BALLER!!! HOLY SHIT!!!
