LOVERS IN A DANGEROUS TIME 4 - 02/28/2023

[NVR Staff]

FEBRUARY 26TH, 2023
STUDIO MERLOT
NAPA VALLEY, CA

ON THE TITANTRON...
The Show opens a little differently. An over produced showreel of TJS in a fancy suit doing the following:

- Interviewing a Panda reserve ranger with a Panda in the background
- Sitting in a cozy interview set with a blurred celebrity.
- Having a coffee at his desk with a graphic on screen for NVR Presents Secret Of The Ooze in a square next to him.
- Hitting a golf ball into the ocean and then nodding to the camera with a cheesy grin and thumbs up
- Ripping off a fake beard to catch a scummy pizza cook in the act. The act is never made clear.

Then it cuts to TJS sitting at his desk waiting for the go.

TJS: Hellow and Good Evening. I'm TJS with TJS 4 NEWS. Tonight's top story. This handsome boy is going for the gold tonight.

At which point a file photo of TJS from the knight academy is shown. It's not very flattering.

TJS: As he fights against the reigning champion....why is her name super small on the teleprompter? Eddie The Editor, were you really experimenting with fonts on the final draft? Good Golly...

TJS: That's the font he's used. Good Golly. I'm more of a Sans Serif myself, they call me the Sans Serif Sheriff at my old font club in high school YET none of them believed this guy would ever host his own news show. CHEEECK.

A huge check box bursts through the roof, which was not cleared in rehearsal, and makes TJS shield the money maker with his face. He then looks directly right to Tech

TJS: That was a lot bigger than you said it was going to be, Paulie. Way bigger. I don't think we'll be getting our deposit back. But anyway let's continue.

TJS: The headline match is said to be grueling. Tough. Hard-hitting. Once in a lifetime and we really mean that one. Next year you won't be seeing a rematch between us since there are definitely enough opponents in this company to keep the champ... business? I think that was supposed to say busy. Sloppy work on the edit, Eddie.

TJS just gives him a straight-faced look while shaking his head. Nevertheless the professional anchorman anchors back into the news.

TJS: In other news, K.T. Anderson's lunch gets crushed in a lunchtime massacre. His Yoghurt got hurt, his OJ got squashed, his chicken salad is far from a salad and we have an exclusive on the suspect.

The viewers who are streaming this have to be black belt pausers to see a black and white image of the 6th newest app found in NVRs roster files.

TJS: The greatest, coolest, smashstar wrestler Reo Ojima will also be on the show!

He pauses for a small snip of Celebration by that band who sing it. Only a tiny snippet.

TJS: He is ringside gracing the ring in the corner of Naoki Ojima. The relation is... unclear! But we have it on somewhat good authority Reo said Naoki is gonna eat lightning and crap thunder. Let's hope that's prior to the match or there will be a slight delay due to obvious reasons.

A pop of his eyebrows as TJ leaves that open for the fans to put 2 and 2 together. Eddie The Editor still adds sound effect post-production.

TJS: Tag Team news! Stormhorn, the Norwegian Heavy Metal Band SLASH wrestling tag team defend their titles against the Baehemoths, the assumed Swedish Hercules Women. It's a Scandinavian Showdown in the studio! The Rize title is hanging in the balance between a contest between Karen and Corazon Negro, sorry Diego Matias. That's a tough belt to win, this reporter can 'a-tesla' to that.

Teddy pursed his lips at yet another mistake in the script. A quick sigh and he continues.

TJS: Then there's a big scramble and yes, Reo Ojima graces the arena with a second appearance. The fans who bought a ticket just got their money's worth even mo' money. If you paid to see Kai Urigawa in action then you are in for a treat because that's up...NEXT!?

TJS alarmingly jumps out of his chair and starts talking to the crew.

TJS: Let's get that on the screen. We're missing it. We're missing it! Eddie get it up on screen.

5-PERSON 
SCRAMBLE MATCH
SIOBHAN MAHONEY vs DJ DANGER vs JD DRIFTWOOD
vs BRODY HOWITZER vs  KAI URIGAWA (w/ REO OJIMA)

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS OUR OPENING MATCH!!!

NVR WREST-LING!!!
CLAP!CLAP!CLAPCLAPCLAP!!!
NVR WREST-LING!!!
CLAP!CLAP!CLAPCLAPCLAP!!!
NVR WREST-LING!!!
CLAP!CLAP!CLAPCLAPCLAP!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first...

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 hears 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 about herself as she waits for the match to start.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Next, coming down to the ring...

KNOCK, KNOCK IT OUT THE BLOCK, DJ
KNOCK, KNOCK IT OUT THE BLOCK, DJ

DJ Danger’s music plays as the lights start to go in and out with the beat. As the first verse of Action Bronson’s “Dmtri” begins to play, DJ shoots out of the curtain with his arms raised. He takes a look out to the crowd with a smile. DJ Danger begins to go down the ramp, smiling at the fans as he looks out around the arena. He takes a moment to soak in the atmosphere, before running up and sliding into the ring. The New Danger heads to the corner, climbs up to the middle rope, and poses for the fans before his music dies.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: The next competitor…

The intro to "Symbol of Nevermore" by Superjoint as the crowd gets to their feet. After a few moments, JD Driftwood bursts from the curtain. He waves his arms trying to get the fans hyped, pacing across the stage area and screaming "LET'S FUCKING GO". After a couple of minutes of hype, the verse hits, and he starts bouncing off the barricade, trying to mosh with fans as he makes his way to the ring. JD rolls to the center of the ring pop to his feet throws a middle finger in the air as the fans yell out with him “J F’N D”!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing next…

The tempo of "Journey to the Center of the Mind" would pick up gradually, as Brody makes his way to the top of the ramp and holding a kendo stick in the "This is my Boomstick!" pose, before pointing it at the crowd as he makes his way to the ring after some stagehand rolls out some red carpet for him to walk, as he enters the ring ready to make some art.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And finally…

“Not Once, Not Ever, No Way”
"I WON'T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT! I WON'T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT!"

The music kicks through the PA as Kai steps through the curtain, Reo Ojima in tow. He’s all smiles, but it’s just the calm before the storm. He pulls his mouthguard from his vest pocket and puts it in as Reo lights a cigar. The switch is flipped and Kai steps down the aisle quickly to the ring.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: "Coming down the aisle: From Jacksonville, FL; he weighs in 177 lbs, Kai URIGAAAAWAAAAA!!!"

Kai hops up onto the apron hard cam side, looks over his shoulder at his opponents, and enters the ring. Reo circles the ring trying to get the crowd excited as Urigawa takes off his vest and falls into the corner, doing some last-minute stretching.

The bell rings and total anarchy starts us off tonight. DJ never got his shot at JD for the Goldenweight, so he’s taking it now. DJ charges at Driftwood and the two engage in battle. Brody Howitzer looks to join in on that fun, having had a feud with DJ in the past, but Kai runs up out of nowhere with a shotgun knee and starts to drill him with strikes. Siobhan rolls out and watches her opponents for a time. Brody and Kai are just drilling left and rights into each other as DJ tries to wrestle JD down to the mat. Mysteriously, weapons start to fly into the ring while everyone battles about, as Reo Ojima, looks to build the chaos around him. Some chairs, a few kendo sticks, and a table all get thrown into the ring by the leader of ONI. Sadly, Kai doesn’t get a chance to capitalize on the weapons his mentor hands him because Brody Howitzer kicks him in the nuts and then drills him over the head with a steel chair. DJ grabs all the kendo sticks and starts using them like a big bat, but JD runs through him after a few shots, pouncing him into the ropes in desperation. Driftwood starts to stomp on DJ, leaving him a heap in the corner, as Brody smacks him on the back in the corner. The B-List King starts to take JD down to a knee with chair shots. He sets up the chair and then pulls Driftwood up for the DEATHKILL DRIVE- JD POPS UP!!! He has Brody upside down on his shoulders and slams him down with an ALABAMA SLAM ONTO THE CHAIR!!! The chair breaks, but before JD could pin Brody, Siobhan Mahoney comes into the ring and enters the match for the first time. She hits Driftwood with an EIRE RAID!!! She goes for the pin, but Kai is back to his feet and he comes up. They start to trade kicks, unaware that DJ Danger is setting up the other chairs for something. Siobhan and Kai hit simultaneous roundhouse kicks that stagger each other, as DJ comes running up with a dropkick to the back of Siobhan’s head, making her headbutt Kai!!! Danger grabs Siobhan up for a MICHINOKU DRIVER THROUGH THE CHAIRS!!! He holds on for the… 1… 2… EVERYONE JUMPS ONTO DJ TO BREAK THE PIN!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: INSANITY ALREADY IN THE OPENING MOMENTS OF THIS SHOW!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: SOMEONE GET SIOBHAN OUT OF THERE BEFORE SHE GETS HURT!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: DJ DANGER NEARLY KILLED SOMEONE AND WALKED AWAY WITH THE WIN THERE!!!

As the match continues, we see everyone brawl together, but it keeps coming back to JD vs DJ and Kai vs Brody vs Siobhan. At one point, DJ and Brody do reignite their feud as Brody drags DJ out of the ring and brawls with him through the crowd, but that ends with JD doing a Fosbury flop onto them both as they came back into the ringside area. Kai and Siobhan actually become kicking machines in kind, working together to beat down the other three much to the approval of K.T. Anderson, but it is short-lived when Siobhan tries to roll up Kai and he responds by nearly choking her out. JD is obviously a monster and has a weight advantage over everyone, so he’s just throwing people around and using them as weapons. He lawn darts Brody into people, before hitting Brody with BUSCH GARDENS FOR THE… 1… 2… BRODY KICKS OUT!!! JD goes to the outside, needing something else to get the edge after that sequence of moves, and sets up a couple of tables on the outside. Driftwood gets back on the apron, looking for a target when DJ COMES FLYING OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A DE-KNEE-RO!!! Danger knocks JD off the apron, but they both go THROUGH THE TABLES!!! DJ and JD are out, and now Reo is yelling at Kai to get up. There’s a table left in the ring from earlier and Kai starts to lean it in the corner. Reo yells watch out as Brody Howitzer comes running up with a BLOCK BUST- KAI SIDE STEPS!!! BRODY GOES THROUGH THE TABLE!!! Kai drags Brody out of the way and lifts him up for that SUPLEX INTO THE- SHILLELAGH!!! Siobhan Mahoney comes running up and drills a heel kick into the face of Urigawa as Kai hits the apex of his lift. Kai ends up dropping Brody onto himself, but Siobhan pulls Brody off so she can cover for the… 1… 2… 3!!!

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

Siobhan rolls out of the ring and raises her arms in the air, laughing as she celebrates. JD and DJ are slowly coming to, but they instantly start bickering and ring-hands have to separate them before they come to blows. Reo Ojima is talking to Kai when Brody gets up and starts to taunt Kai for being the loser. Reo turns around and chops the shit out of him for being disrespectful, as both ONI members leave him to writhe in pain.

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: SIOBHAN PULLS OFF WHAT MANY COULD CONSIDER AN UPSET HERE TONIGHT!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: The name of the game is capitalizing on the chaos in these scrambles, and well, they call her Hot Mess for a reason!

K.T. ANDERSON: I LOVE YOU SIOBHAN!!! MARRY ME!!!

NVR WRESTLING
WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
OPPORTUNITY BRIEFCASE
SINGLES MATCH
DANI DAVIES (*)
vs
CERA CONNER

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS NEXT MATCH IS A WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP OPPORTUNITY BRIEFCASE MATCH!!!

DANI!!!
DANI!!!
DANI!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first...

Cue the drum roll and the dope beat of “Robot Rock” by Daft Punk hits, with the arena lights dimming down to deep blue flashes and red lasers about the entrance stage. Cera Conner steps out from the back raising her arms high, bringing both arms down and aiming an invisible shotgun gesture, and firing at the crowd, blowing the tip with a cocky wink. Rocking her black leather jacket and shades, the crowd rally behind Cera with encouraging cheers as “NVR’s Killing Machine” steps down to the ring, adjusting her wristbands with focus, pausing by the front row, slowly removing her shades and handing them to a fan before rolling into the ring and clambering up the turnbuckles, slowly raising a thumbs up as the cameras pan around her.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And their opponent...

The opening of Mad Hatter begins to play, as lights flash to the tune of the little bells, but then the lights all change to a scarlet color as the verse first hits and Dani Davies steps out. She starts to walk down to the ring, singing the lyrics to the song as she stays away from the fans at the ringside.

The normals, they make me afraid
The crazies, make me feel sane

Dani walks towards the camera, reciting these words as she hops onto the apron and poses. She looks around at the crowd with a bit of disgust, as she spins into the ring and poses one more time, still singing the words to the song as the music.

The bell rings and Cera goes right onto the offensive. A much more muscular wrestler, The Terminator tries to close Dani into a corner, but a few stiff kicks and a right get Dani the space she needs to escape. Cera continues to press forward and Dani tries to cut Conner’s momentum with a step-up enzig- CERA DUCKS THE KICK!!! Leg-trap German Suplex to follow up and Cera now has control. She’s brutalizing Dani with elbows to the back of the head, but Davies is able to scramble to the ropes. Dani tries to pull herself up, but Cera comes running up with a boot that sends Dani outside of the ring. Cera hits the ropes and leaps out with a TOPE CON HI-NO!!! DANI MOVES!!! Dani starts to run up on her opponent, but CERA SITS UP!!! The Terminator is living up to her namesake as she starts to get back up, but Dani unleashes a flurry of kicks. Cera shoves Dani away, as The Restless charges back at Conner with a vicious punch to the gut. Dani hooks the head for a LIFTING DDT-NO!!! Cera counters into a fireman’s carry and hits an F10 ONTO THE STEEL STEPS!!! The crowd cringes as Cera drags Dani into the ring. Cera stalks Dani, and as Davies gets to her feet, Cera hits the ropes and delivers NOT FURLONG!!! Davies goes down and Cera covers for the… 1… 2… 3NO!!! DANI KICKS OUT!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: CERA CONNER ISN’T HUMAN!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: DANI DAVIES CONTINUES TO LIVE UP TO THE HYPE!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: I have a sneaking suspicion that this match is only going to get more violent.

Dani struggles to come back into this match as Cera keeps the momentum going her way. Every time Dani starts to brawl her way out, Cera is there to overpower and throw Dani elsewhere. At one point, Dani has a series of strikes that nearly take Cera off her feet, but when she goes for running double knee, CERA POPS HER UP FOR A BUCKLE BOMB!!! Cera calls for the match to end as she charges Dani for a CORNER SHOULDER THRU- DANI DIVES OUT OF THE WAY!!! Cera goes shoulder-first into the ring post. Dani gets to her feet with urgency as she pulls Cera out of the corner and starts to smash her head into the turnbuckles. Once Cera is sufficiently dazed, Dani does a hair-pull slam and starts elbowing Cera in the face. Dani answers the age-old question “Do Terminators bleed blood” as she busts Cera open. She then drags Cera Conner to the center of the ring and starts to drill her with LOVE LAY- DANI GETS POPPED UP… FIREMAN’S CARRY SLAM!!! Cera almost robotically goes to the nearest corner and leaps off with CYBERNETIC ORGASM!!! She covers Dani for the… 1… 2… DANI KICKS OUT!!! Cera howls out to the crowd, as she heads to the corner for TERMINATE- DANI COUNTERS WITH A HANDSTAND!!! Instinctually, Cera goes to grab Dani’s legs for DOMESTIC TERROR- DANI BOOTS HERSELF FREE!!! Cera staggers into the ropes, but she refuses to let up on the briefcase holder as she charges for a SPEAR-DROP TOE HOLD!!! Cera smashes her face on the canvas as Dani follows up with HEAD TRIP!!! Not done with her opponent, she traps Cera’s legs and arms and drills her back into the canvas with CRUEL INTENTIONS!!! Cera is clearly out, but Dani isn’t just feeling Restless, she’s feeling Ruthless, so she pulls Cera back up by the hair and locks in a leg-trapped DOUBLE-D LOCK!!! Whether from blood loss, head trauma, or just sheer exhaustion, after fighting it for as long as she can, CERA TAPS OUT!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA SUBMISSION... DANI DAVIES!!!

Dani refuses to let go of Cera, as Cera's eyes begin to bulge out of her head. Jeff the Ref threatens to reverse the decision and give Dani's briefcase to Cera, which is the only reason Dani releases the hold. Dani snatches her briefcase from the referee and refuses to let him raise her hand. She tells the crowd that she isn't playing anymore, and that she will be champion very soon. Paramedics come to check on Cera, but before they could stretcher her away, Cera sits straight up and walks out on her own accord.

K.T. ANDERSON: DANI TERMINATED A TERMINATOR!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: WHAT A BRUTAL MATCH!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: DANI DAVIES IS A SCARY INDIVIDUAL IN THAT RING!!!

WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP
#1 CONTENDERSHIP

LENA GALANTE
vs
CALLIE BUCHANAN

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS MATCH IS A CONTENDERSHIP MATCH!!!

IR-ON MAI-DEN!!!
LET’S GO SPICE!!!
IR-ON MAI-DEN!!!
LET’S GO SPICE!!!
IR-ON MAI-DEN!!!
LET’S GO SPICE!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first...

"Call Me" kicks off, filling the room with the kicking guitars before the lyrics serenade the room and the detestable Callie Buchanan walks out and stands on the stage, looking over the people she claims as her masses booing her. She flusters the end of her long coat and walks down to the ring, not even looking at or interacting with the fans. Choosing instead to trash-talk her opponent. When the bratty Brit gets into the ring, she poses with her arms outstretched and slides her coat off, getting into her corner.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And their opponent...

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
LENA’S BACK!!!

“Like This” by Kelly Rowland ft. Eve begins to play as Lena Galante steps out. She walks up to a giant spotlight in the center of the stage and swings her hips before posing. Spice walks down to the ring, ignoring the fans along the way. Lena gets to the ringside and slides across the apron, before springing up and spinning herself through the ropes. She struts to the center of the ring and poses as she waits for her music to stop.

This match starts and the two instantly go into a lock-up. Some dirty boxing by both women, as Callie tries to power through Lena, and Lena is trying to trip her up. Both wrestlers go down rather hard in a heap, and it’s Galante on top. She’s trying to get a kneeling armbar locked in, but Callie is able to get her other arm underneath her and gets free. They get to their feet and Lena doubles her over with a boot to the gut. Lena hooks the head, but before she gets any momentum, Callie drives them both into the ropes. Steph the Ref forces a break, and Lena opens up with a series of strikes as soon as Callie stands up. The Iron Maiden is staggered as Lena goes for a ROUNDHOUSE- NO!!! SHE’S CAUGHT… QUEEN’S CHOICE!!! GORGEOUS BRIDGE BY BUCHANAN… 1… 2… LENA KICKS OUT!!! Callie doesn’t care, she screams at the crowd as she goes across the ring. Callie waits for Galante to get to her feet and goes for OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!!! Spice tries to backpedal out of it, BUT BOTH WOMEN GO OVER THE TOP ROPE!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: OH MY GOD!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: LENA AND CALLIE FLOP TO THE FLOOR!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: TIMBEEEERRRR!!!

Brawling along the railing, throwing each other into whatever they can, and just trying their best to take each other out. You’d think these two wrestlers had a heated past, but they’re just that determined to win the match. Callie gets control around the 8-Count, hitting a short arm variant of OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!!! She whips Lena back into the ring and heads for the corner. Spice looks out of it, as she stumbles to her feet. Buchanan charges for CALLIE-FORNIA DREAM- KOPPU KICK BY GALANTE!!! Both women are down, but Spice tries to climb onto Callie for a mount. She starts to drill punches into the face of Buchanan, AND CALLIE REVERSES THE MOUNT!!! SHE STACKS LENA UP… 1… 2… GALANTE KICKS OUT… AND TRANSITIONS INTO A LA’BELL LOCK!!! The Iron Maiden desperately crawls to the ropes to BREAK THE HOLD!!! Both women slowly make it to their feet. Their pride is not willing to break despite exhaustion setting in. They trade strikes back and forth, using whatever they have left to land an impactful punch to the face. Galante starts to get a bit of momentum as she goes for a DISCUS FOREAR- CALLIE WITH A HEADBUTT!!! Lena goes to a knee and Callie hits CALLIE-FORNIA DREAMIN!!! She doesn’t get all of it due to low energy, so she goes to the corner again and delivers ANOTHER ONE-NO!!! Hip toss by Lena INTO THE SPICE RACK!!! Lena is so exhausted she just collapses on Callie, but her shoulders are on the mat and Callie’s arm instinctually ends up on top of her… 1… 2… 3!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THIS MATCH HAS BEEN RULED A DRAW DUE TO A DOUBLE PIN!!!

Both women barely get to their knees as they fight with Steph the Ref for the right to raise their hand, but Steph denies both of them. Senior Official Jeff Coors and NVR President Caleb Jackson come down. Steph the Ref explains both sets of shoulders were down and both had some form of cover on the other. Caleb Jackson says he needs a winner when suddenly “Leather Rebel” by Judas Priest starts to play.

Breah Lombardi comes out with her NVR Women’s Championship on her shoulder and a microphone in her hand.

BREAH LOMBARDI: I think the answer is simple here. No need for match restarts or discussions. I’LL TAKE LENA AND CALLIE BOTH ON AT RUMSPRINGA BREAK!!!

The crowd erupts as Caleb Jackson gives his approval, and so do Galante and Buchanan!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: BIG MATCH SET FOR RUMSPRINGA BREAK!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: WHO GAVE BREAH THE RIGHT TO CALL THE SHOTS???

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: THE LEATHER REBEL HAS SPOKEN!!!

FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE
SINGLES MATCH
KIRA IZUMI (C)
vs
RAPTOЯ

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS MATCH IS FOR THE JROK YTA CHAMPIONSHIP AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!

ONE FALL!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first, the challenger...

"Immigrant Song" by Led Zepplin plays, as the lights change different colors of green, gold, and brown. The music changes goes 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 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 now, the champion...

Wake in a sweat again
Another day's been laid to waste
In my disgrace

Kira comes out from the back along with Sui shortly following him. He makes an “X” sign with his arms as he starts singing along with the song. Kira walks down the ramp way slapping hands with his fans and walking around the ring.

Kira slaps the steps as he makes up through the ropes and up onto the middle rope. He stands tall and makes an “X” again with his arms before he looks around at the fans. He repeats this process at the other three corners before he walks to the middle of the ring and takes off his Oni mask. He spits out his blood mist before he turns around and points toward the logo on the back of his jacket. After that, he walks to his corner where he waits for the match to start.

As soon as the bell rings, RaptoЯ charges at Kira, but Izumi rolls to the outside. Izumi goes underneath the ring and grabs a chair, and starts to taunt RaptoЯ. RaptoЯ showing no fear starts to exit the ring, but Kira throws the chair at his challenger. RaptoЯ tumbles to the floor while Kira goes back into the ring, hits the ropes, and dives out for a SUICIDE DI- RAPTOЯ CATCHES HIM!!! He throws Izumi back into the ropes and drills him with a forearm as Kira comes bouncing back. Kira is messed up as RaptoЯ takes the chair off the ground and goes to SLAM IT ON HIS HEA- KIRA SIDE STEPS!!! Izumi lets off a lightning-quick barrage of strikes and kicks, trying to stagger RaptoЯ, but as he goes for a Superman punch, RAPTOЯ THROWS HIM INTO THE CROWD WITH EXTINCTION!!! RaptoЯ receives a symphony of boos as he taunts Kira. RaptoЯ leaps over the barricade, creating a pile of chairs next to Kira. He grabs Kira by the hair and roars in his face before hitting LAND BEFORE- KIRA SPITS OUT BLOOD MIST!!! RaptoЯ is blinded only for a second while KIra books it to behind the scenes area. RaptoЯ is in tow, throwing chairs at Kira as he goes.

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: Not sure on this strategy of Izumi’s.

GEMMA MARCHAND: Running away from a dinosaur bent on your destruction seems pretty sound to me.

K.T. ANDERSON: COME ON RAPTOЯ!!! KILL HIM!!!

Backstage in Studio Merlot RaptoЯ is tearing up the hallways looking for Kira. Izumi comes out of nowhere with a pump kick that sends RaptoЯ into a bunch of equipment crates. They brawl for a moment and Izumi grabs on with a guillotine, but RaptoЯ lifts Izumi up and runs him THROUGH A DOOR!!! Out into the merch-table area where we see members of the NVR Roster. RaptoЯ lifts Kira with a Military press and throws him over Chad Kassidy’s merch table. Stacks of boxes fall all over the place as RaptoЯ tells Chad and Thad to move. He goes to grab Kira, BUT KIRA BLASTS HIM WITH A CASH BOX!!! Money explodes everywhere as RaptoЯ stumbles away. Kira gets onto a table and hits KONJIKI ASHISOGI JIZO!!! The moonsault dragon suplex lands perfectly, but Kira isn’t done. He grabs a t-shirt and starts to choke RaptoЯ out!!! RaptoЯ looks like he might fade, BUT HE STANDS UP!!! He positions Kira just right and SNAPMARES HIM THROUGH THE KASSIDY’S MERCH TABLE!!! BOTH MEN COLLAPSE!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: THIS MATCH IS GETTING OUT OF HAND!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: SOMEBODY GRAB ME SOME OF THAT CASH PLEASE!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: WHERE ELSE CAN THIS MATCH GO???

Well, Warhead… apparently it goes to the parking lot because RAPTOЯ SPEARS KIRA THROUGH A GLASS DOOR!!! This should have been it, but after a 2.99 count, RaptoЯ decides to lift Kira up and throw him CLEAR OVER SOMEONE’S CAR!!! Kira hits a side window and breaks it, but he expertly grabs some glass shards and dirt and rolls under the car. RaptoЯ goes looking for Izumi, trying to pin him, but Izumi is nowhere to be found. RaptoЯ gets tapped on the shoulder and IZUMI THROWS THE GLASS DUST IN HIS EYES!!! RatpoЯ grabs at his eyes and face, trying to get the glass and dirt off, as Kira once again runs away and heads back into Studio Merlot. Following Kira, RaptoЯ breaks the glass off in his head and heads inside. As he comes through, Kira is waiting for him with a chair. He starts to slam it into the back and head of RaptoЯ. They end up back in the crowd, but on the other side this time, and start to fight through the fans. Izumi goes to swig the chair again, but RAPTOЯ WITH A HIGH KNEE!!! The chair smashes Izumi in the face, as RaptoЯ goes to grab his wrist for a HEADBU- THE IZUMI SPECIAL!!! Kira suddenly leaps up and counters into a highly innovative triangle armbar. Kira tries for the submission, but RaptoЯ is able to fight back up to his feet and deadlifts him up for a POWERBO- NO!!! Kira lets go and lands on his feet. Big roundhouse by Kira, but it’s ducked and RaptoЯ shoves Kira into the barricade. RaptoЯ charges at him with a SHOULDER TACK- IZUMI MOVES AND RAPTOЯ GOES THROUGH THE BARRICADE!!! Kira sees his JROK YTA Championship and grabs it. He also takes the broken part of the barricade and leans it on the apron. Using the YTA Belt, he ties RaptoЯ’s arm behind him and drills him with the KIRA DRIVER ‘91 THROUGH THE BARRICADE!!! Finally, we get a normal cover and a.. 1… 2… 3!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA PINFALL... AND STILL THE JAPANESE RENAISSANCE OF KAKUTO YAMAGUCHI TRAVEL AGENCY CHAMPIONSHIP… KIRA IZUMI!!!

Kira rolls into the ring and raises his belt high in the air. The fans give him a round of applause for such an exciting match. However, before he can get much celebration in, CHAD AND THAD KASSIDY RUSH THE RING!!! They blindside Kira with the cash box Kira broke and start to stomp on them. Chad is yelling about how Kira took an opportunity from them and now he took money from the Kassidys and he won’t stand for it any longer. He’s just about to hit the CHADDICAL SABBATICAL, but HERE COMES SUI OBATA TO EVEN THE ODDS!!! Chad and Thad roll out of the ring as Dead Pretenders start to stand tall in the ring. The two teams shout at each other as they go in their separate directions.

K.T. ANDERSON: NOBODY TAKE MONEY FROM THE KASSIDYS AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: It looks like World’s Chaddest and Dead Pretenders have some unfinished business here still!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: THIS WAS AN INSANE MATCH FOLLOWED BY THE IMPLICATIONS OF ANOTHER INSANE MATCH!!!

All of the lights go out in the arena, as the opening sirens of “Twisted” by Missio begin to play. Singular lights flash to the sound of the music as a lone spotlight points down on the stage. Suddenly we see a man repel down from the ceiling from the light, and land on the stage.

EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD KNOWS
I'M A LITTLE TWISTED!!!
EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD KNOWS
I'M A LITTLE TWISTED!!!
EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD KNOWS
4I'M A LITTLE TWISTED!!!
EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD KNOWS
I'M A LITTLE TWISTED!!!

The lights all shoot on as we see Liam Vaughn standing on the stage. He saunters down to the ring, calm and uninterested in the fans around him. He takes his time until the chorus strikes up again, and he begins to run towards the hard-cam side of the ring, sliding across the ring apron and spinning himself through the ropes. Just as fast as his burst of energy came, it went away and he nonchalantly stumbles backward into a corner as he waits for the match to start.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And their opponent...

The upbeat, fast-paced tunes of Machine Gun Kelly’s pop punk “Kiss Kiss” starts 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 knick-knacks 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 ringsteps, 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.

A rivalry that started in a scramble match at the close of last year comes to fruition as Darby looks to earn his win back from Liam Vaughn. The two circle the ring for a moment before going for a tie-up. Liam tries to push forward and take control, but Darby yanks back with enough force to launch Vaughn with a Monkey flip. DMac kips off and it’s off to the races with him. Running strikes, acrobatic evades, and a hurricanrana that nearly throws Liam out of the ring. Vaughn gets angry and halts Darby’s momentum with a RUNNING KNEE LIFT!!! MacNamara’s momentum makes him flip over Vaugn’s leg and land hard on the mat, and now Liam is dropping elbows on The Shiny Hunter. Darby fights to his feet, but Liam grabs him from the side. Vaughn stifles Darby’s attempt to break free and hits a side-Russian Legsweep INTO THE ROPES!!! Darby’s head snaps back as Liam keeps on him. Vaughn lands a few strikes, allowing Darby to get up in the corner and hit a CLOTHESLINE… INTO A BULLDOG!!! Darby manages to crawl away, but he’s stopped with a THRUST KICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!! Liam pins him for the… 1… 2… DARBY KICKS OUT!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: VAUGHNGEANCE NEARLY PUTS DOWN THE WERE-RACCOON!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: LIAM VAUGHN IS SUCH A VICIOUS COMPETITOR!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: DARBY MACNAMARA STILL IMPRESSES WITH A KICK OUT THOUGH!!!

Vaughn continues to push his momentum on Darby, clipping the high-flyer’s wings with every strike. Vaughn looks to put MacNamara away with a POWERBO- NO!!! Darby flips through to his feet. Vaughn scouts the counter and delivers three stiff jabs and then a DISCUS CLOTHESLI-NO!!! Darby ducks it, whips Liam into the ropes, and hits a PSYCH OUT SHOTGUN DROPKICK!!! Vaughn gets launched and now Darby is feeling the tide change. As Liam gets to his feet, Darby hits him with FAUGH A BALLAGH!!! Darby covers for the… 1… LIAM KICKS OUT!!! Darby is shocked, but not deterred. He drags The Warped Enigma towards the corner and goes for WIRED TO THE MOON!!! He covers again for the… 1… 2… AGAIN LIAM KICKS OUT!!! Darby goes to the apron and leaps up for- LIAM LEAPS UP TOO… SPRINGBOARD GOURDBUSTER!!! LIAM COVERS… 1… 2… DARBY KICKS OUT!!! THe crowd is going crazy. Liam almost can’t believe it as he heads to the corner. He waits for Darby to reach his feet and charges for HAUNT- THE WAXING MOON!!! Darby knocks Liam out with a massive roundhouse, Darby goes back to the apron and this time he gets all of “I’D RATHER BE SHINY”!!! Darby with a deep cover for the… 1… 2… 3!!!

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

Darby gets to his feet and throws an arm up in excitement. The fans congratulate him warmly, as Liam Vaughn struggles to get back to his feet after that nasty kick to the head. Darby is up on a turnbuckle getting the fans to throw him shinies when suddenly he’s yanked back to the mat. He turns around and is face to face with Liam Vaughn. Liam starts to say they’re essentially 1-1, but BANG!!! Both men are dropped randomly as NOAH ORTEGA RETURNS!!! The leader of the Lost cracks Liam in the head with a chair that causes Vaughn to headbutt Darby right in the nose. Darby and Liam both are out, but Noah doesn’t care. He starts to hit chair shots on Liam, before locking his head in the chair. Vaughn isn’t moving, yet Ortega still feels the need to hit LOST SOULS!!!

The crowd is so mad that nothing can be heard over their boos. Noah ignores them as he lifts Vaughn up, still with the chair on his head, and hits LOOSE CANNON!!! At this point, a crimson-masked Darby MacNamara is back to his feet and charges at Noah, but Ortega rolls to the outside. Ortega laughs as he waves at Darby, EMT’s and Security guards rushing past him to get to Vaughn. Darby MacNamara stays with his rival as he glares at Noah Ortega sauntering off.

GEMMA MARCHAND: NOAH ORTEGA HAS BEEN OUT SINCE NOVEMBER!!! THERE’S NO REASON FOR HIM TO BE DOING STUFF LIKE THIS!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!! DARBY AND LIAM HAD SUCH A GOOD MATCH AND IT’S ALL BEEN RUINED BY THIS RIGHT HERE!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: LEAD THE LOST, NOAH!!! TAKE AS MANY HEADS AS YOU NEED UNTIL THEY KNOW YOU’RE BACK!!!

BREAKING NEWS...
A brawl has broken out backstage. What started as a continuation of JD Driftwood and DJ Danger's fight from early, the two have not only brawled all over the back but instigated other brawls as well. The Kassidys and Dead Pretenders are back at it again. Dona and Squiggly, just moments before their big blowoff match, have also started to brawl already. Chad, Thad, Kira, and Sui all get separated by several guards, however, JD, DJ, Squiggly, and Dona have all but turned into a tag team match in the halls of Studio Merlot. The roster is standing by in a mix of horror and amusement, watching these four fight it out. DJ and Dona are landing some stiff strikes on their Super Heavyweight rivals here, driving them into parallel walls. They start to bash JD and Squiggly's heads into the walls, but JD and Squiggly get smart and shive them both into each other. From there, JD and Squiggly sandwiched them in the center of the hallway.

JD tells Squiggly that he'll scratch his back if Squiggly promises the same, and Squiggly just cackles. In order to momentarily discombobulated the former Women's Champion, Squiggly spits GIGGLE JUICE IN HER FACE!!! The two bug men then turn their attention to DJ Danger. Danger puts up a good fight, but it isn't long before Squiggly and JD have control. Squiggly holds DJ's arms back so that way JD can drill punches into his midsection until DJ can barely stand. That's when Squiggly lets go of him and allows JD to hit the PEZ DISPENSER!!! Driftwood lifts Danger up and whips him towards Squiggly for the TILT-A-SWIRL!!! That should be it, but JD isn't done, he wants to "Kill the Twerp", so he picks DJ up and drives him skull-first into the ground with a FULL-ON HEADER!!!

Squiggly laughs as JD admires his work, BUT THAT'S WHEN DONA ATTACKS!!! She jumps on Squiggly's back and starts to bite and scratch him all over. JD is stunned by this but tries to get involved. Squiggly is moving too much, so Driftwood can't get a grip on Rotten, but he tries to land a haymaker that CLOCKS SQUIGGLY INSTEAD!!! Dona laughs as she spits VENOMOUS MIST IN JD'S FACE!!! She goes back to Squigly and starts to light him up with strikes, but Squiggly headbutts her. Squiggly warms up his arm to deliver the final blow... SHOULDA HAD A V-DONA DUCKS IT!!! She shoots behind and goes for the PUNK PLE- JD WITH A FOREARM TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!! Dona slumps as Driftwood plants her with a PSYCHO HOLIDAY!!! JD then gets on his hands and knees while Squiggly pulls out his rubber chicken. Squigly springboards off Driftwood for a CARNY ELBOW WITH THE SOLID STEEL RUBBER CHICKEN!!! JD and Squiggly continue to stomp on Dona and DJ until security arrives to break them up like they did Dead Pretenders and The Kassidys.

GRUDGE MATCH
DONA ROTTEN
vs
SQUIGGLY THE CLOWN

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS MATCH IS A GRUDGE MATCH AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!

SQUIGGLY SUCKS!!!
SQUIGGLY SUCKS!!!
SQUIGGLY SUCKS!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first...

"Grease Paint and Monkey Brains" by White Zombie start to play and we see the lights dim down. After the intro we see Squiggly come out from the back sporting a pig mask with clown makeup smeared over it. A large oversized tie rests over his ring attire as he approaches the ramp. He pulls a match from behind his ear and strikes it before lighting his tie. Firecrackers begin popping as Squiggly begins to tremble, almost seizure-like. The smoke clears as Squiggly continues shaking his head, twitching, and shaking his arms as he heads toward the ring.

Squiggly comes to the edge of the ring where he ditches his tie and rolls in under the ropes. He stands up before he begins circling the ring, looking out at the crowd. He rips the mask from his face and lets out a deep belly laugh as he twitches and scratches at his bald, tattooed head.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And his oppo-

SQUIGGLY THE CLOWN: I DON’T THINK DONA IS GONNA MAKE IT HERE TONIGHT!!!

Boos on boos from the fans as Squiggly laughs hysterically.

SQUIGGLY THE CLOWN: WHAT??? YOU DON’T GET THE JOKE???

Squiggly laughs some more.

SQUIGGLY THE CLOWN: It’s because I… know what? No! I won’t explain the joke to you, because it would ruin it if I did!!!

The deranged clown looks around at the fans, who are still booing him.

SQUIGGLY THE CLOWN: Did you really think I would let that… that… that… JOKE STEALER come out here???

The crowd is almost deafening, but somehow Squiggly finds a way to laugh over them.

SQUIGGLY THE CLOWN: PATHETIC!!! Dona Rotten is a two-bit wrestler, and her biggest punchline is her career!

Squiggly turns to Valentina Lovelace and smiles really big.

SQUIGGLY THE CLOWN: Well pretty lady, since she ain’t coming, might as well use your big loud voice to announce that I am your winner!!!

Valentina looks uncomfortable, but out of fear for her life, she reluctantly obeys.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA PREMATCH BEATDOWN… I guess… SQUIGGLY THE-

“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!

NO HOMIE: OY, GIGGLE CUNT!!!

Squiggly looks shocked, but still can’t help but to laugh at his challenger.

NO HOMIE: About a year ago, YOU STOLE A CONTRACT FROM ME!!! You posed as that fucker Chiseltooth and stole the one thing that could have gotten me off the street. You took a steady job.

No Homie looks furiously as he paces back and forth on the stage.

NO HOMIE: I wasn’t booked tonight. Hell, I haven’t been booked since Brazil, but not the point. I wasn’t supposed to be here, but after seeing a bunch of people rushed out in cop cars and ambulances, I snuck in and all I could hear is you babbling and cackling about how you deserve a win because you beat up a pillar of this company like a coward.

Squiggly laughs, saying it was a pretty great joke, but No Homie finds no humor in any of this.

NO HOMIE: You have a match, but no opponent. You got a set-up, but no punchline. Well, guess what??? NOW YOU DO, AND I’M NOT LEAVING UNTIL ONE OF US IS DRAGGED OUT ON A STRETCHER!!!

The fans pop as No Homie runs down to the ring. Squiggly’s face drops from a smile to a look of fear as he tries to get the jump on No Homie to no avail!!!

UNSANCTIONED MATCH
NO HOMIE
vs
SQUIGGLY THE CLOWN

Already brawling, Squiggly and No Homie are not holding anything back as they unload on each other. Squiggly has the size and strength advantage, but No Homie has heart and speed on his side. The Wizard of Odd pokes No Homie in the eyes and whips him into the ropes, but No Homie catches himself in between the top and middle ropes like he’s Manik. Squiggly goes to boot him through the ropes, but No Homie springs out and trips Squiggly. Squiggly falls perfectly for a TIGER FEINT KICK!!! No Homie Springboards onto the top rope, BUT SQUIGGLY SHOVES HIM OFF!!! No Homie goes flying into the barricade and collapses at the ringside. Squiggly goes to the apron and leaps off with the CARNY ELBOW… BUT NOBODY IS HOME!!! Both men get to their feet and start to brawl again. Squiggly with a frying pan chop that nearly shuts down No Homie entirely. He leans No Homie on the barricade and CHOPS HIM AGAIN!!! No Homie’s chest now has matching hand prints on either pec, as Squiggly rips the shirt off of a fan with a cackle, and steals the drink of another. He covers No Homie’s face with the ripped shirt, AND WATERBOARDS NO HOMIE WITH THE BEER!!! No Homie spazzes around, getting free of Squiggly, but here comes Squiggly with a BIG BOOT INTO THE RING POS- HOBO JUICE!!! No Homie had kept some of that beer in his mouth so he could spit it in Squiggly’s face!!! Squiggly laughs as he grabs his face, but No Homie throws him into the apron with an UNDERARM STO!!! No Homie rolls Squiggly back into the ring, as The Roofless One starts a comeback of his own. He starts to drill rights and lefts all over Squiggly in the corner. To get some space, Squiggly stomps on No Homie’s foot and then connects with an uppercut. Standing switch and now Squiggly is setting No Homie on the top turnbuckle. Squiggly hooks the head and is looking for a SUPERPLEX-NO!!! No Homie starts to fight back and counters it with an AVALANCHE “IT CAME FROM AUSTRALIA”!!! HE COVERS SQUIGGLY FOR THE… 1… 2… 3NO!!! SQUIGGLY KICKS OUT WITH A CACKLE!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: WHY IS THIS SHOW SO MUCH MORE VIOLENT THAN ANY OTHERS???

K.T. ANDERSON: SQUIGGLY IS STILL ALIVE!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: WE CALL IT LOVERS IN A DANGEROUS TIME FOR A REASON, GEMMA!!!

Squiggly takes over the match after he catches a flying No Homie with GIGGLE JUICE!!! He further cements his momentum by hitting his opponent with THE SCRAMBLER!!! He covers No Homie, but he only gets a 2 count! Squiggly takes out his rubber chicken and starts to whip it over the back of No Homie, trying to keep him down, but No Homie starts to fight back. A big kick to the gut by No Homie as he runs around the ring and goes for SOLESS SURVI- SQUIGGLY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!!! Squiggly goes to capitalize with a DISCUS CLOTHESLI-NO!!! NO HOMIE CATCHES HIM… EXPLODER INTO THE CORNER!!! No Homie rallies the fans behind him, as he charges around the ring once again for SOLESS SURVIVOR!!! He whips Squiggly to the mat and then NO HOMIE LOCKS IN ROOFLESS AGGRESSION!!! Squiggly starts to fight, but then he starts to laugh! His laughter starts to fade though as the referee picks his arm once… twice… SQUIGGLY HOLDS HIS ARM UP!!! Using his free hand, Squiggly reaches into his tights and pulls out CHISELTOOTH’S FORK!!! Squiggly takes the weapon given to him by his Kayfabe cousin, and No Homie’s longtime rival, AND STABS NO HOMIE RIGHT IN THE EYE!!! No Homie refuses to let go, but Squiggly continues to stab him in the face until his opponent finally releases. No Homie tries to fight back, but Squiggly THE PUNCHLINE!!! Off of instinct alone, No Homie uses the last of his energy to stumble to the ropes, but Squiggly just laughs. Squiggs locks No Homie in a double underhook and looks like he might go for the Upside Down Frown, but then he pauses. He lifts No Homie’s feet onto the middle ropes and hits a HANGMAN’S UPSIDE DOWN FROWN!!! Squiggly puts a foot on No Homie’s chest and honks his rubber chicken to the count of the ref… HONK… HONK… HONK!!!

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

Squiggly starts to stomp on No Homie to further celebrate his win. Jeff the Ref, whose tired of all the attacks tonight, shoves Squiggly away. Squiggly just giggles as he honks his rubber chicken. Jeff the Ref throws an X up as No Homie has massive damage done to his face from the fork. Squiggly grabs the fork and starts to lick the blood off as he rolls out of the ring. The Clown Prince of NVR then chucks the fork into the crowd for the fans to have as he giggles away.

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: BODIES CONTINUE TO BE HAULED OFF TONIGHT!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: THAT’S THE WAY I FUCKING LIKE IT!!! VAUGHN, DANGER, RAPTOЯ, ROTTEN, AND NOW NO HOMIE??? WHO’S NEXT??? I HOPE KAREN WILLOW!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: I hope it’s you, K.T…

BACKSTAGE...
The scene cuts backstage as Naoki Ojima is getting done doing a set on the jump rope. Tossing the rope aside, Naoki grabs a towel and wipes his face and body off with it before addressing the camera with a smile on his face.

Naoki Ojima It’s been forever since I last held a title. Even longer with a singles title. It feels nice, even if it’s one of the lower tier titles here in NVR. It’s wanting me to push myself. To be better. That’s why I’m wrestling in so many promotions these days. To push myself and to be better than what I was the last time I stepped in a ring. And hopefully, sooner rather than later, win the companies top prize.

Naoki tosses the towel aside and picks up the Goldenweight Title and places it on his shoulder.

Naoki Ojima Hopefully you’ve seen my improvement since our last encounter, Adrianna. Because I’ve seen yours. Faster. Wiser. More relentless. A normal wrestler would be somewhat intimidated by you. But I’m excited. Because I know you’ll push me and hopefully I’ll push you. So let’s make this match something special. Let’s steal the show. Just one on one. You and me. So…..are you ready? Then get set! And let’s GO GO GO!.

Naoki gives a peace sign before walking past the camera.

AD-RI-AN-NA!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first, the challenger...

The lights fade as “I Hope You Suffer” by AFI breaks over the PA system, the entryway illuminated only by white strobes that flash in time to the drum beat. By the time Danny Havoc’s vocal begins, Adrianna Wilde is striding out through the entranceway and down the ramp; her pace is slow, and bouncy as she shakes out her arms and loosens up-her focus on the ring as she leisurely moves. By the time the chorus hits, Adri’s climbed the steps and towards the center of the apron; her lanky form climbing the middle rope, leaning back against the top as she finally leers out the crowd-a sneer on her face as she gestures towards the crowd as she sings along to the chorus. It’s only when she’s satisfied with herself that she’s waving off the fans and allowing herself to roll back over the top rope and onto her feet, where she quickly claims a corner for herself as the music fades out.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And their opponent...

Trumpets blast throughout the arena as TANK by the Seatbelts plays. The arena fills with cheers as Naoki Ojima makes his way out, his father in tow. Sporting a Maximum Japan jacket, the Emerald Tiger waves to the crowd as Reo lights a Cigar. They quickly make their way to the ring, Naoki hi-fiving as many fans as possible on the way down. Rolling inside, Naoki stands in the middle of the ring and raises his right hand in the air as green and white streamers fill the ring. Reo stays standing at ringside, ashing his cigar on the ringside floor. Stepping back Naoki takes his jacket off and tosses it outside.

A handshake at the center of the ring sets the tone for this match. These two rivals have a lot of respect for each other, and after the death of Tapp Addams, a lot less hate. They tie up and Adrianna tries to shoot behind, but Naoki stuffs it and locks a front-facing headlock. He goes for a vertical suplex, but Adri lands on her feet. Ojima spins around and eats a few strikes from Wilde. Adrianna leaps up and goes for a guillotine, but Naoki tries to counter with a bear hug. He doesn’t break her hold completely, but does get her to lose enough grip to hit a NORTHERN LIGHTS CRASH LANDING!!! Knowing he doesn’t have enough momentum, so he quickly locks in a Lebell Lock!!! Adrianna uses her long legs to crawl to the ropes and break free. Reo tells Naoki not to break the hold until 4, and The Champion obliges. Naoki finally let's go and steps away for a second, but he comes right back at Wilde with a cravate. Adrianna elbows herself free and goes for a whip, but ends up getting whipped into the ropes herself. Naoki catches her with a POWERSLAM!!! He heads to the corner and leaps onto The Wilde Thing with a MOONSAULT!!! Naoki covers for the… 1… 2… KICKOUT BY ADRIANNA!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: Naoki keeps control so far in this match!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: COME ON ADRI!!! IT’S YOUR TIME!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: Way to be unbiased, K.T…

A technical match to a T, Naoki, and Adrianna go back and forth. The Champion has the advantage for the most part, but Adrianna’s fighting spirit keeps her in it. Reo Ojima continues to bark orders and it’s starting to distract Naoki more than help him. Going for his patented corner splash, Naoki signals for the tornado ddt follow-up, but Reo him to do something else. This allows Adri the opportunity to shove Ojima off the turnbuckles. Ojima rolls to his knees, but Adrianna is right there with a missile dropkick to the face! She wraps Naoki up in a straight jacket hold, before spinning him out for a REALITY CHE-NO!!! Naoki blocks it and lands DEATH BY 1000 CUTS!!! He shoots behind and goes for LOVE AND HO-NO!!! Wilde drops down and it jacks Naoki’s jaw. There’s a bit of back and forth for a minute, with Naoki nearly reclaiming the match’s momentum. Wilde struggles to get offense in, but Naoki halts any momentum she had with a SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX!!! Reo shouts to hit Adrianna with TANK, and Naoki nods as he grabs both arms and DRILLS HER WITH A KNEE!!! He goes to cover, but Reo shouts no. He tells his son to do it again… and again!!! Naoki hits the second TANK but refuses a third. Reo tells Naoki that Adrianna is the enemy and to remember the hell STRONGHOLD has put ONI. Naoki shakes his head, but Reo shouts to do it. Reluctantly Naoki decides to hit a THIRD TANK-NO!!! AN UNFORTUNATE TURN OF EVENTS!!! Adrianna grabs Naoki’s leg and goes for a HEEL HOOK!!! Ojima is shocked, but he crawls to the ropes with determination, BREAKING THE HOLD!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: BREAK HIS FUCKING LEG, ADRI!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: REO NEARLY COST HIS SON HIS CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: CAN NAOKI RECOVER FROM THIS BREAKDOWN IN COMMUNICATION???

Strikes back and forth between the champion and challenger as this match starts to hit a slower pace. Naoki lands powerful punches, but a pump kick to the hand stops all that. Wilde then tries to land a series of forearm strikes, but Ojima counters with his own forearms that start to stagger the challenger. When strikes fail, they try to lock in holds, but they’re too well versed in each other's skill sets, that neither can lock in a proper submission. Adrianna and Naoki are starting to feel that exhaustion, as they fight for the advantage in the match. Wilde gets a bit of momentum on her side, but Naoki whips her into the ropes for another POWERSLA- THE HANGOVER!!! Adrianna now has all the momentum she needs as she catches Ojima with the springboard DDT. The fans are completely split here, as Adrianna starts to trap Naoki in with LOCKED-IN SYNDR- REO ENTER THE RING!!! He tries to strike Adrianna, BUT SHE CATCHES HIM WITH A SILICONE BUSTER!!! Reo rolls to the outside as she turns aro- LOVE AND HO- NO!!! ADRIANNA SHOOTS BEHIND… COGNITIVE DISSONANCE!!! ADRIANNA COVERS… 1… 2… 3!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA PINFALL... AND NEW NVR GOLDENWEIGHT CHAMPION… ADRIANNA WILDE!!!

Adrianna can’t believe it! She’s done it! Steph the Ref hands Adrianna the Goldenweight Championship and Wilde points up to the sky, telling Tapp that this was for him. Naoki gets to his feet and congratulates Adri, shaking her hand. However, as he heads towards the ropes, Reo Ojima rolls in and starts to yell at Naoki that he has failed him. Naoki and Reo shout in Japanese at each other, but it’s pretty obvious they are not seeing eye to eye right now. Reo slaps the taste out of Naoki’s mouth and motions for him to come along, but Naoki shakes his head and rolls out of the opposite side of the ring.

GEMMA MARCHAND: NEW CHAMPION!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: Adrianna Wilde has absolutely earned this title win here. An impressive first year in NVR, winning the Tapp Classic, and now this!!! Absolutely deserved.

K.T. ANDERSON: LET’S GO ADRI!!! YOU FUCKING DID IT!!! STRONGHOLD IS FUCKING FINE!!!

[NVR Staff]

PREVIOUSLY RECORDED...
Like gods rising out of the ground, Bree Smith and Dana Alans burst onto the screen. The jet black hair of the Aussie giant, Alans, fell in her face as she was behind Bree Smith, crossing her giant arms as the sporty Smith smiled. The Baehemoths were ready for war against STRONGHOLD for the NVR tag team championships.

DANA ALANS: “You wanna let them know or should I?”

Bree smirked and put her hands up, letting the more aggressive Dana to step into the forefront.

DANA ALANS: “Donald and Fredrick. STRONGHOLD. NVR tag team champions….erm…former NVR tag team champions, because Bree and I are gonna get in that ring and do what we do best and crush. We’re built like statues and hit like motherfucking trucks. Let ‘em know, Bree.”

Dana nudged Bree on the shoulder, letting her have her chance to speak.

BREE SMITH: "Like those Greek statues. Breecules and Danethius. Ever see both Stronghold dudes lose a test of strength simultaneously? That could happen. Ever seen simultaneous gorilla presses and both Stronghold members thrown out the ring? That's what the Baehemoths can do. Know what else we can do? Capture tag team titles. I've done it-"

DANA ALANS: “I haven’t, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to knock a few heads off and do so, and like my wonderful partner suggested, we can EASILY crush both members.”

Dana smirked before flexing, showing off her impressive arms.

DANA ALANS: “Donnie. Freddie. You’re stepping into a pit with two people looking for gold and I don’t think either of us really mind if you walk out.”

BREE SMITH: "Then we'll carry the gold into Millennium, Valiant and make it a constant reminder that one Baehemoth is a tough opponent. Two of them, well that's just 10x'd your problem."

DANA ALANS: “We’re not just gonna be STRONGHOLD’s problem, but we’re gonna be every single team in NVR’s problem. We are the Baehemoths and we’ll be your NEW NVR tag team champions.”

Both Dana and Bree flex as the screen fades.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first, the challengers...

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 is revealed and her name appears on the screen in dripping blood. Danela sneers at the crowd while she stomps her way to the ring. She grasps the top rope when she reaches the apron 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: And her partner…

The intro to "Don't Stop" by 5 Seconds of Summer begins to play as the studio lights go down and the spotlights point to the stage area. Within a few seconds, Bree Smith struts out from behind the correct and she does a few signature poses on the stage. As Luke Hemmings and the rest of 5SoS yell out the chorus, Bree kicks it into high gear, jogging down the ramp, high-fiving as many fans as she can as she goes down to and around the ring. Once she's made it all the way around the ring once, she rolls into it and flexes. Everyone cheers for the Breehemoth as she backs into the corner.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And the champions...

The intro to Jaden Smith's smash hit "Icon" reverberates through the speakers as the crowd come alive. The voice of Freddie Florentino can be heard over the first 10 seconds of the intro:

FREDDIE FLORENTINO: GRAB YA TAG ROPE AND COUNT TO FUCK! STRONGHOLD IN THE MOTHERFUCKIN HOUSE… CABRÓNS!"

The fans chant along with him. Once the song kicks in and the first "whoa" hits, Donnie Prower, with a STRONGHOLD flag in hand, and Freddie Florentino burst out from behind the curtain with Jaden Smith's flow guiding them out.

"What you call an icon livin'?

Start a record label, MSFTS just did it (Woo)

Nylon cover, five minutes, whoa

We up too hot in the business (Woo)"

Freddie is vibin to the track, pumping his fist for every whoa and woo, while Donnie is already talkin' that shit to the front row, letting them know that they're about to sit in on an exhibition. Both men make their way down to the ring, turning their attention to the match at hand as they scale the turnbuckles. Freddie hunches over, lowering his sunglasses down the bridge of his nose and running his mouth as Donnie does the same while holding the STRONGHOLD flag open for all to see. They hop in the ring and begin to warm up with each other as they await the start of the match.

Donnie and Dana to start us off in this championship bout. Dana’s got a bit of height on Donnie, but he makes up for it in weight, so they are pretty evened out. After a bit of circling, Donnie starts going low, looking for a single leg, but Dana stuffs it. She drills some elbows into his back, halting any forward momentum. Prower continues to fight for that leg, so Dana has no choice but to throw him to the side. Donnie gains his footing as Alans charges at him, but he takes her down with a series of arm drags. On the third, Prower holds onto one arm and locks in a FIGURE FOUR WRISTLOCK!!! Tapp would be proud as Donnie tries for an early submission, but Dana’s long legs help her break the hold before any lasting damage sets in. Donnie tries to drag Dana into the corner, but she starts fighting back. She lands a few heavy strikes and shoves Donnie hard into the corner! Freddie with a blind tag as Dana hits a big splash and hits THE EJECTOR SEAT ON DONNIE!!! Alans throws a fist in the air, but little does she know Freddie is springboarding behind her, grabbing her arm and hitting a modified POETIC JUSTICE!!! He’s got the triangle locked in, and Dana is struggling. She looks like she might tap, but she stabilizes herself and stacks Freddie up for the… 1… 2…NO!!! Freddie does a neck bridge to break the count. Dana deadlifts Freddie just enough to get Freddie off the mat. She stumbles backward now and tells Bree to tag herself in. Smith does as Dana deadlifts Freddie again, this time over her head, and hits a HUGE POWERBOMB IN THE CENTER OF THE RING… FOLLOWED BY A SLIDING LARIAT BY BREE!!! Bree covers for the… 1… 2… FREDDIE KICKS OUT!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: YEA!!! STAY ON IT FLOW RIDA!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: Masterful double team by the younger team. The Baehemoths are definitely making their mark in this division.

GEMMA MARCHAND: NVR’s Tag Team Division continues to prove that even though it’s small, it’s an elite group of wrestlers.

Freddie and Bree continue to go back and forth. Florentino has more weight on Bree, so he starts forcing that advantage. He drives her into the ropes and starts to dirty box her until Jeff the Ref moves him away. Bree comes in looking for a discus forearm, but Freddie ducks and hits a HALF AND HALF SUPLEX!!! Bree tries to get up, but Freddie shoots for the legs of Bree. She tries to stuff the takedown, so Freddie switches up for a fireman’s carry into RIVERSIDE RI-NO!!! Bree slides behind Freddie and lands not one… Not Two… BUT THREE GERMAN SUPLEXES!!! THE POWER OF BREE!!! Bree and Freddie try to crawl to their respective corners, but FREDDIE GETS THERE FIRST!!! Donnie comes running around the ring and tries to BOOT DANA OFF THE APRO-NO!!! Bree doesn’t get the tag, but Dana does drop to the floor to evade Donnie. Donnie turns his attention to Bree as he tries to lift her up fo- DANA PULLS HIM TO THE OUTSIDE!!! Dana and Donnie start to trade strikes. She shoves him into the ring post and follows up with RIDE THE LIGHTNI- FREDDIE WITH A CHOP BLOCK!!! HE makes the save for his partner as STRONGHOLD takes Dana out with TRUTH AND CONSEQUENCES!!! They hype the crowd up as they turn around and THEY BOTH EAT A SUICIDE ELBOW FROM BREE!!! EVERYONE IS DOWN AT RINGSIDE!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: EVERYONE IS DOWN!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: COME ON STRONGHOLD!!! GET UP!!! KEEP APPLYING THE PRESSURE!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS:

The match gets under control after both teams are nearly counted out. STRONGHOLD and Baehemoths fight back and forth for the advantage. Bree frustrated Donnie with a ripcord noogie, trying to get him to mess up. Donnie hits Dana with a Dragon Screw, trying to weaken her leg. Dana nearly decapitates Freddie with a Hellish Rebuke to prevent a hot tag comeback. Freddie nearly chokes out Bree with Flowmission, but Dana comes in for the save. Everyone is starting to feel the match wind down, as Dana and Freddie battle it out. Freddie is going for a FLOW KILL-NO!!! Dana steps through and counters it into a CRASH LANDING!!! She goes to the corner and runs out for RIDE THE LIGHTNI- HER LEG GIVES OUT!!! Freddie starts to crawl to STRONGHOLD’s corner, but Dana is able to stop him with a lunging axe handle to the back. She tries pulling her opponent to the corner, but her leg won’t let her. Dana calls for Bree and together they hit BAEHEMOTH’S WRAT- FREDDIE WITH A HURRICANRANA!!! Dana spears Bree and Freddie goes for THE HOT TAG!!! Prower is quick to dump Bree to the outside with a single-leg dropkick, and he turns his attention to Dana. Alans reaches her feet and tries to catch Donnie with RIDE THE LIGHTNI- ROLLING HEEL HOOK!!! DONNIE HAS HER!!! Dana instantly starts fighting for the ropes. She crawls and drags herself. The damage to the leg is setting in, and she’s had damage to her arms earlier too. She gets closer, but the pain is starting to get to her. Desperately, Dana reaches out, just molecules away from the ropes and she GRABS I- NO!!! Donnie and The Ref don’t see it, but Freddie pulls the bottom rope so Dana can’t grab it. He holds it and prevents her from breaking the hold just long enough for DANA TO TAP OUT!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA SUBMISSION... AND STILL NVR TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS… DONNIE PROWER AND FREDDIE FLORENTINO… STRONGHOLD!!!

Freddie slides into the ring and hugs his brother after another successful title defense. Jeff the Ref gets the NVR Tag Team Championships and hands it to STRONGHOLD. Dana and Bree regroup on the outside, looking more frustrated than disappointed. Dana vows that they’ll be back, and there won’t be any cheating next time, but STRONGHOLD can’t hear them over the sounds of celebration. Adrianna Wilde comes out and joins her brethren, with now all of STRONGHOLD sporting gold. They raise their belts up to the sky, showing a dominant team standing before the NVR Faithful.

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: Not sure how I feel about Freddie’s tactics, but overall a great match between these two teams.

GEMMA MARCHAND: Bree and Dana absolutely proved themselves as a championship-caliber team here. A quick regroup and they’ll be right back in the title contention for sure!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: STRONGHOLD ON GOLD BAYBAY!!! YOU GUYS FUCKING DESERVE IT!!! ALL CAPS GRAPS 4444 LYFE!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first, the challenger...

#1 by Nelly plays as the colors of the Mexican flag strobe all over the arena as Diego comes out of the curtains. He does a prayer to his mentor, and waves hello at the camera to his sister Daya. Diego starts to walk down to the ring and hi-fives as many fans as he can before he slides to the ring and gives a shout-out to the man upstairs before he warms up for his opponent and acknowledges the crowd.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And now, the champion...

ALL THE THINGS SHE SAID
ALL THE THINGS SHE SAID
RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD

ALL THE THINGS SHE SAID

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 - and surveys the fans with narrowed eyes. The corners of her mouth slowly curl upwards before Karen saunters down the ramp. As she gets to the 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.

The headliner starts off as fast as it could They circle for a moment, but as soon as Diego goes for a tie-up, Karen ducks and starts hitting the ropes. Trading leapfrogs and front rolls to avoid each other, Diego drops down to body drop and Willow has it scouted. She hits the mat and smacks Diego in the face. Diego staggers away, but when he turns back around, Karen hits him with the Ol' BOP AND BANG!!! Diego grabs his face and Karen goes for a CUTT- NO!!! He shoves Karen into the ropes, BUT SHE RETURNS WITH VIVI’S BLESSING!!! The corkscrew crossbody takes Matias down and now Karen is feeling it. She hypes the crowd up as Diego gets up to his feet. She leaps onto the back of his neck for KARENCANTRA- NO!!! Diego holds on to her legs and prevents the Poison-Rana. Inverted Alabama Slam makes Karen land face-first on the mat as Diego shakes the cobwebs out of his head. Karen tries to get up, but Diego gets right on top of her and sets her up for a GOTCH PILEDRI-NO!!! Karen kicks her legs and breaks free. She escapes through his legs and boots him away. Karen hits the ropes, but Diego is right there with her with a PUMP KICK INTO THE ROPES!!! Diego now goes to hit the ropes, but Karen follows him as well with a pump kick of her own! She hits a series of strikes and goes for the ropes once again. As she rebounds, she screams FUCK IT as she goes for a CROSS BO- DIEGO SIDE STEPS AND KAREN GOES THROUGH THE ROPES!!! Willow crashes into the ground below. Matias seems to be in Corazon De Oro mode, so he allows Karen to get up and get back into the ring. He even offers to hold the ropes open for her, but she doesn’t trust him and for good reason. Even though she goes to a different side of the ring to enter, Corazon Negro pokes his head out, and Diego instantly cracks her with a SUPERKICK!!! Trying to fight even though she’s knocked loopy, Karen throws a few strikes, but Diego is able to counter them and hook up for the UNO… DOS… TRES AMIGOS!!! The three suplexes land perfectly as he floats over now for the ONE… TWO… KAREN WITH AN ARM UP!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: DIEGO CAPITALIZING ON THE BIG MISTAKE BY KAREN AND ALMOST WALKS AWAY A 2-TIME R!ZE CHAMPION!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: DIEGO IS JUST SO DAMN GOOD!!! BUT SO IS KAREN!!! YOU KNOW THIS MATCH WILL STAY GOOD!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: TURN INTO YOUR EVIL FORM, DIEGO, AND KILL KAREN ALREADY!!!

Diego starts to use a high-flying/powerhouse-styled offense moving forward, as he starts landing more slams and splashes, rather than his usual pure-striking acrobatics. Karen lands a Wolf Claw to get away from Diego’s seemingly never-ending offense. He tries to grab her arm to pull her into a hammerlock DDT, but KAREN WITH A PELE KICK!!! He staggers and she goes behind for BLOODY SAUCE!!! Karen holds on for a… 1… 2-DIEGO KICKS OUT!!! Willow kips up and she goes for WOLF FANG FIST-NO!!! CAUGHT ON DIEGO’S SHOULDERS… USHIGOROSHI!!! Diego stumbles to the corner now, feeling the momentum go his way. He climbs to the top, points to the sky, and leaps off for TRIBUTE TO THE KI- KAREN’S KNEES ARE UP!!! Diego tries to get up, but Karen runs up with MINA’S BLESSING!!! She covers for the… 1… 2… DIEGO KICKS OUT AGAIN!!! Karen tries to lock in Wolf Hurricane, but Diego boots himself free. Karen charges and she goes for a SUNSET FLI- LUNG BLOWER BOMB BY DIEGO!!! Diego just stacks her up this time… 1… 2… KAREN WITH A HEAD PUSH AND A COUNTER PIN… 1… 2… DIEGO KICKS OUT!!! They both kip up and again THe Champion goes for WOLF FANG FI- DIEGO GRABS THE ARM… HAMERLOCK DDT!!! Karen is out, but Diego is tired of this near fall and counter sequence they’re caught in. So he lifts her up in a ripcord and spins her out for THE ACE LARI- KAREN DUCKS!!! Frustration is clearly on Diego’s face as he turns around… DROPKICK TO THE KNEE BY KAREN!!! Karen takes a moment to catch her breath, equally frustrated at the current stalemate. Willow goes behind and goes for the SPIRIT BO- SNAPMARE BY DIEGO!!! He jumps up and locks her up in the MAGISTRAL… 1… 2… KAREN ROLLS TO HER FEET… PU’AR SAYS HI!!! A kick that's heard around the world as Karen hypes everyone up. 0-2 in Wolf Fang Fists, so Karen looks for something more. She lights Diego up with a series of strikes before locking him in the WOLF HURRICANE!!! She watches him struggle as she formulates a plan. Right before he’s able to escape, she screams FUCK IT and hits a SLOPPY SENTON!!! She flips him over for the… 1… 2… DIEGO PRESSES HER COMPLETELY OFF!!! Diego looks mad now, and we might be getting a bit of Corazon Negro here, as he starts to drill headbutts into Karen’s head. Willow stumbles back as Diego hooks her up for THE ACE LARI- BARREL ROLL BY KAREN!!! Diego spins around as Karen goes for WOLF FANG FI-WAIT!!! PUMP FAKE!!! Knowing Diego had the move scouted, she faked the WFF, went for another barrel roll, and scoots behind him for KAREN WILLOW’S WILD RIDE!!! Low blow into the schoolboy… 1… 2… 3!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA PINFALL... AND STILL NVR R!ZE CHAMPION… KAREN WILLOW!!!

Karen gets to her feet and throws her hands up in triumph. Diego grabs his groin and looks very upset with Karen. Matias gets to his feet and looks like things might turn ugly, but Karen talks him down. She says it wasn’t supposed to be a low blow and that she’s sorry. Karen offers her hand to Diego and even does the arm lift, but Diego isn’t sold. Is this a heel turn? Or is this just Karen Willow being Karen Willow?

K.T. ANDERSON: DID KAREN WILLOW CHEAT??? AM I A FAN OF HERS NOW???

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: Thit schoolboy looked a bit low for me, and Diego looked pretty mad, but we get a sign of respect so that’s something.

GEMMA MARCHAND: I’m thoroughly confused by whatever just happened here.

BACKSTAGE...
Backstage we find Mimi Smith right after a beauty session thanks to her buddy Lola who's made Mimi up. Hair is fresh and styled to look lovely. She's wearing a skirt to showcase her legs instead of hiding them in jeans. She's got a nice floral blouse on, off the shoulder with a lace design at the end of her sleeves. Joining her is newsman Teddy.

TJS: TJS with TJS 4 NEWS here. I'm joined by Mimi Smith, current holder of the NVR World Title Opportunity Briefcase. She's not in action this evening but has graciously given some of her time to talk to the press.

MIMI SMITH: I had some time while Derrick gets ready for our date

TJS: Let's not mention he who shall not be named. Instead

He makes a pyramid with his fingers, which cover his mouth, and then points at her briefcase.

TJS: Your title shot. Is it at all possible when I win tonight you'll cash in your shot there and then?

MIMI SMITH: Oh no no no Teddy Bear. I wouldn't do that to you.

Mimi says with the sweetest tone she can possibly manage.

MIMI SMITH: and that's TJS 4 News!

Mimi says signing off. The studio goes dark as TJS tries to stop the shutdown but it's not heard. We then cut to a commercial for Transformers Rise of the Beasts.

DURING THE BREAK...
Here we find Kira Brooks, she’s already finished getting ready and looks to be heading out to the ringside area for her upcoming match. In her hands she’s got a little Disney charm bracelet and adds a new charm to it before putting it back in her bag - a gift from her sister, she adds a charm to it for every Main Event she’s in as a reminder. Hands go to her hips, the motion making her satiny ring jacket shimmer in the lights, BROOKS blazoned across the back. She turns, and seen snugly around her waist is what’s all the fuss about, the NVR World Championship belt, polished and gleaming. She winks when she sees the camera on her, stepping forward to give them a few moments of her time.

NEVADA BROOKS: Let me open with this, Teddy… I saw your match against my last challenger, and you did good work. You totally didn’t deserve the low blow aftermath and I want to give you my word as a Brooks that I’m just not the type to do that. Don’t get me wrong, I’m willing and able to put anyone down that comes after my gold… my beloved NVR Championship… but I prefer to do things The Right Way. But I can sympathize to a degree, after all, Anthony cheap-shotted me after I put down Nobody Asked For Julianna… who had also cheap-shotted me. Funny how it all didn’t work in their favor though, when it counted.

She shrugs, the motion looking relaxed and natural, but there’s something almost spiteful in her big eyes for a second before she shakes her head and lets her features relax into a wide, warm smile.

NEVADA BROOKS: All that aside, I’m actually really excited to face you tonight. It’s refreshing, and I’m not being even a whiff sarcastic here, to face someone that EARNED the right, that went through it, who was the sole survivor of the STRONGHOLD Elimination war. You should be proud of yourself, TJS… you really should. Which is why I’m also a bit concerned right alongside being excited.

On Nevada’s face is a bit of concern, a bit of confusion, as she looks up and thinks before speaking again, her gaze going back to lock with the camera.

NEVADA BROOKS: You’re being awfully quiet, Teddy. Now, it’s fair to guess that you might have been doing nothing but training your heart out, getting ready to face me. I mean, that’s what I’d do if I had a match against someone with my skill, talent, and sheer intensity hand in hand with the willingness to do whatever it takes, no hesitations. I’d be cautious, I’d be smart, and I’d learn what I needed to do to win and then praise up, believing I had it in me. But you… hmmm. I’m not against you just doing your talking in the ring, Teddy, I promise… But.

She lifts a hand from her hips and points at the camera, starting to walk past it as she keeps speaking, right until she’s out the door and heading down the hall.

NEVADA BROOKS: Sugar Boots, I’m Nevada Brooks. I talk the talk, I walk the walk, and I AM your NVR Champion. I’m going to give the fans the match they’ve expected from me, TJS… and more. Keep up, keep your eyes open, and let’s blow the roof off Studio Merlot! I’ve got a Shatter just for you, it’s special… be ready for it!

LET’S GO NEVADA!!!
T-J-S!!!
LET’S GO NEVADA!!!
T-J-S!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first, the challenger...

TJS 4 NEWS appears on the screen. Each letter fades in and out before the other appears as the intro plays. The lights dim slightly aside for a trio of lights which, you guessed it, shine TJS 4 NEWS onto the roof of the building or down onto the ring. TJS appears from behind the curtain with his back to the crowd but spins to stand facing them, legs wide apart, and embraces the crowd. Mike Stanley and Cam Rollins, the TJS 4 NEWS Crew, are right behind TJS as they try to “catch the scoop”. Throwing out a t-shirt to one of the crowd members rampside earns him a pop before he starts to walk down the ramp. TJS raises a finger, then sings the opening lyrics to his theme with the crowd.

Begin the day
With a friendly voice
A companion, unobtrusive
Plays that song that's so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood

TJS grabs the ropes with the small instrumental break and spins to hook the top rope and face the ramp. Mike and Cam catch every moment.

Off on your way
Hit the open road
There is magic at your fingers
For the spirit ever lingers
Undemanding contact
In your happy solitude

As that riff hits, TJS backflips into the ring and walks around, the lights dimming down to an almost darkened state as the fans' screens light the arena with purple, pink, blue, and red bright screens. TJS then performs a running shooting star press and lands on his feet, pretending it was unseen but the house lights come back on bright just a second after he lands. Mike and Cam high-five because they think they got it. TJS nods his head to his News Crew, as they all enjoy the rest of the song. Even as it fades out, the loyal NVR fans sing it loud and proud with TJS conducting them with one hand.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And the champion...

As En Route To Mayhem by Apocalyptica plays, the music rolls out over the room, from the back emerges Nevada Brooks, determination in her steps as she moves down the ramp towards the ring, raising her NVR World Championship high in the air. She pauses at the ringsteps to look out over the fans in attendance and she throws her hands up in a signal for them, a big smile on her pretty face. She pauses to wipe her boots on the apron before ducking between the ropes, lingering a bit before moving on into the ring, her expression focused and eager as she waits for the match to begin.

Teddy and Nevada circle the ring. Nevada waves at Cam’s Camera right before initiating the tie-up. Teddy’s muscular frame proves too much for Nevada to move, as she tries to break free, but he pulls her in for a NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX!!! Teddy starts to grapple with Nevada, but Nevada is quick to get out and get away. TJS is fast to catch up to her as she tries to flee to the ropes, and pulls her up for the BLUE HARVEST BO- NEVADA ROLLS BACKWARD!!! A stiff kick to the back of the leg by Nevada, nearly dropping TJS in the process, but TJS stops her momentum with a back elbow. They trade a few strikes here, and you can tell The Champion is getting into her groove. However, Teddy lands a right hand that completely derails Brooks and sends her crashing to the mat. TJS 4 NEWS Crew hops onto the apron to get a better shot of the action as Teddy lifts Nevada for a vertical suplex. Nevada quickly lands a knee on the apex of the lift to stop the suplex. She shoves Teddy into the ropes and hits a huge GERMAN SUPLEX!!! ‘Vada Brooks heads to the nearest corner, watching Teddy collect himself in the process. She goes up to the top turnbuckle and leaps off for a BLOCK BUST- TEDDY CATCHES HER!!! Nevada is trapped across his shoulders as he points to his news crew and screams out “THIS JUST IN”... AND HITS AN AIRPLANE SPIN!!! Teddy spins as fast and as many times as his equilibrium will allow, and then caps it all off with the BLU-RAY DRIVER!!! He stacks the champion for the… 1… 2… 3NO!!! NEVADA KICKS OUT!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: WE NEARLY HAD A NEW CHAMPION!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: THANK GOD WE DIDN’T!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: NEVADA BROOKS SHOWING OFF HER RESILIENCE!!!

The Challenger keeps the momentum by nearly putting Nevada away with the “TJS 4 NEWS Specia”l, but again she kicks out at 2.99. TJS is now just trying to squeeze the life from her. Brooks tries to fight back with some strikes and even gets a bit of her higher-octane offense going, but Teddy catches her leg on a pump kick and takes Nevada down. Quick set-up by Teddy, and now Brooks finds herself locked IN THE CROC LOCK!!! Nevada crawls and scratches, trying to get to the ropes. She uses her core to bend down and attack his leg a bit, trying to get him to weaken his grip, but to no avail. Nevada keeps fighting though, and she inches, Mike Stanley and Cam Rollins get right up to the ropes. Nevada thinks they’re about to interfere, but they’re literally just filming the match. Brooks yells at them to go away as she swats at them and GRABS THE ROPES IN THE PROCESS!!! The fans cheer as she tries to get up using the ropes. Teddy, ever the gentleman but also a competitor, waits for Nevada to get to her feet before going for a SPARTAN KI- NEVADA LOW BRIDGES THE TOP ROPE!!! Teddy goes over the top rope and lands on the apron. TJS 4 NEWS Crew is still right there in the action, getting you the very best coverage imaginable. Nevada slingshots herself out for a WHEELBARROW BULLDOG ONTO THE TJS 4 NEWS CREW!!! EVERYONE IS DOWN EXCEPT THE REFEREE!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: THE CHAMPION TAKING A BIG RISK!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: I hope TJS 4 NEWS’ equipment is okay!

K.T. ANDERSON: Yea.. it would be a shame if you went back to doing what you were hired to do…

Finally, back into the ring, the two wrestlers are back to trading strikes. Nevada lands a bell clap that stuns Teddy and it’s followed up by a HAIR-PULL SNAPMARE DRIVER!!! She covers, but TJS kicks out at 2! Teddy tries to crawl to the rope to get some distance between him and Nevada, but ‘Vada Brooks follows up with a HURRICANRANA DRIVER!!! Again she covers him for the… 1… 2… TEDDY KICKS OUT!!! Nevada shakes her head in frustration. She goes to the corner and does a small tribute to her trainer, before running out with SHATTER- THE ONE SLAM FROM BAND CAMP!!! TEDDY CAUGHT HER!!! He quickly locks in the TJS 4 NEWS SPECIAL DELUXE!!! TJS HAS HER LOCKED IN!!! Nevada’s reign is slipping through her fingers now and that desperation is starting to kick in. Brooks frantically starts to drill punches into the spine of Teddy. His grip starts to slip and she’s able to break free. Nevada runs to the nearest corner, just to get some distance between herself and the challenger, but here comes Teddy with a FLYING EL-NO!!! Nevada side steps out of the corner. She lifts Teddy onto her shoulders for SNAKE EY- TEDDY SLIDES OFF!!! HE shoves her into the turnbuckles and then places her on the top rung. Teddy climbs up with her, and starts to place her on his back for a TJS 4 NEWS ULTRA SPECIAL DEL-THE CHAMPION ESCAPES!!! Nevada flips onto her feet and superkicks the middle rope Teddy is standing on. Teddy loses his footing and lands thigh-first onto the ropes. Nevada runs at him and hits a SLIDING GERMAN SUPLEX!!! Nevada slides out, but comes right back into the ring coming with SHATTER!!! The Champion covers for the… 1… 2… 3!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA SUBMISSION… AND STILL NVR WORLD CHAMPION… NEVADA BROOKS!!!

Nevada gets to her knees and takes a deep sigh of relief. Teddy had her on the ropes the entire time, but the NVR World Champion persevered anyways. Mike Stanley and Cam Rollins come into the ring to check on Teddy and apologize to the champion for making her feel like they were involved. Nevada forgives them and even gives them a bumper shot for the 11 pm news hour. Nevada helps TJS up and tells him if he keeps it up, he’ll be a World Champion Interviewer AND Wrestler, and Teddy thanks her for the kind words. TJS 4 NEWS signs off for now and Nevada celebrates her win!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: WHAT A NIGHT FOR NVR!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: I CAN’T BELIEVE WE ALMOST HAD FUCKING TEDDY AS OUR WORLD CHAMPION!!! WHAT A NIGHTMARE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: TONIGHT WAS AMAZING AND THERE IS SO MUCH MORE IN
