VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS A R!ZE UP MATCH AND IT IS FOR THE NVR R!ZE CHAMPIONSHIP!!! THE ONLY WAY TO WIN IS TO CLIMB TO THE CENTER OF THE STRUCTURE AND RETRIEVE THE THE CHAMPIONSHIP AT THE CENTER!!!

NVR WRESTLING!!!
CLAP!CLAP!CLAPCLAPCLAP!!!
NVR WRESTLING!!!
CLAP!CLAP!CLAPCLAPCLAP!!!
NVR WRESTLING!!!
CLAP!CLAP!CLAPCLAPCLAP!!!

All of the wrestlers were already in the ring at the start of the show, just waiting for the bell to ring. Each and every wrestler was determined to become the new R!ZE Champion. There was a mad dash to the 4 corners of the ring, so they could all start climbing, but of course, everyone stopped everyone else. We see a break up into a few groupings as Natalie Kassidy and CLOUDY stop Bey Addams, TJS and Kai stop MYOJIN, and Arley and Dona stop Bree. The only person not immediately pulled down was The King of the B-List, Brody Howitzer and he quickly starts shimmy across the cable. TJS and Kai call over Bree and together they launch Kai up onto the cable to chase Brody. Kai starts to kick him until they BOTH FALL!!! Bey had fought free of CLOUDY and Natalie by dumping CLOUDY to the apron and chopping Natalie until she could climb over her. CLOUDY climbs up the side of the post’s scaffolding and fights with Bey right before the cable at the top. They hit each other with a few heavy swats to the back, but Bey grabs CLOUDY by the waist as she tries to pass her up, AND A BIG BACK SUPLEX OFF THE TOP OF THE POST!!! After this spot, a lot of the action moves to the outside as Dona drags Teddy out of the ring as well. A big mob of wrestlers are building at ringside. Arley Kirk escapes Urigawa long enough to start climbing the scaffolding. The wrestlers are starting to notice the Suicide Blonde’s ascent and Kirk knows she’s got no chance of making it across before someone catches her, so she stands on top of the post… AND HITS TIGER GRACE!!! EVERYONE IS OUT AT RINGSIDE!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: THE WILY COYOTE, ARLEY KIRK, RISKING LIFE AND LIMB JUST FOR A CHANCE AT CHAMPIONSHIP GOLD!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING TOO!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: WE STILL NEED SOMEONE TO R!ZE UP AND CLAIM THEIR OPPORTUNITY!!!

We get a few more tries at claiming championship gold. Natalie nearly makes it, but Springboards at her and takes her down. MYOJIN nearly makes it, but Bree grabs their waistband and nearly pulls them down. MYOJIN tries to boot her off the top turnbuckle, but Bree turns it into an avalanche powerbomb. Teddy also makes his way to the top but eats a low blow by Brody that sends him to the mat. Brody laughs, but is quickly cut off by VENOMOUS MIST FROM DONA ROTTEN!!! Now it’s Dona Rotten making a break for the R!ZE Championship. Arley Kirk also starts climbing to the center from the opposite corner. They meet at R!ZE Championship and start to pull at the strap with one hand while kicking each other. Brody Howitzer realizes he just needs to be the one to catch the title, so he stands beneath ready to catch as a tug of war happens over the championship belt. The Two wrestlers aren’t pulling hard enough to unclasp it though, as they both land stiff kicks that SEND THEM FALLING ON BRODY HOWITZER!!! After a while of minor scuffling around the ring, the TJS 4 NEWS Crew plus Bree wipe out the rest of the active competitors and start heading towards the top. Bey Addams also climbs up, but she sits on the scaffolding because she sees the chaos that is about to ensue. Bree, Teddy, and Kai make it to the center and Teddy quickly realizes all three of them can’t win the match. Bree becomes the target as she’s not part of the TJS 4 News Crew, and she goes down. Kai quickly turns on the “Anchor” as he delivers a stiff kick. TJS begins to swing as he hits a FLYING SPARTAN KICK!!! BOTH MEN CRASH TO THE FLOOR!!! Bey’s chance arises and she hurries across the cable… TONGUE-OUT SPEAR BY CLOUDY!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: CLOUDY JUST KILLED BEY ADDAMS!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: Much like I’m going to do later- I MEAN WHAT A SACRIFICE BY THE HIGHEST GIRL IN PRO WRESTLING!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: WHAT MORE CAN WE SEE???

Everyone tries to make it to the cables and climb for their opportunity at championship gold, but exhaustion is starting to set in. A lot fewer brawls and a lot more tosses to the outside of the ring in an attempt to lower the amount of people who can stop them. Bree gets a lot of momentum, hitting the Power of Bree on Brody, Natalie, and Dona to send them to the outside. Bree starts the climb up, but her arms are starting to wobble from fatigue. Bey Addams sees this and pulls her down, drilling her with WRISTLOCK HERO!!! Our Guy Kai runs into the ring and knocks Addams out with a SPINNING HOOK KICK!!! Kai turns for the nearest corner, but finds CLOUDY coming at him for HIGH HOPES!!! Teddy runs in the ring to get a measure of revenge for his buddy, as he lifts her for the BLUE HARVEST BO-NOPE!!! CLOUDY rolls backward and runs to the nearest corner. TJS is about to chase her, but he sees Arley springboard onto the cables and MYOJIN climbs up a third corner. Teddy rushes to the empty corner and all 4 contestants make it to the center. CLOUDY is there first and gets an arm on the R!ZE CHAMPIONSHIP, but eats a boot from Arley Kirk! Kirk gets an arm in the belt now, but TJS slides in with a big forearm to her back! Teddy can’t even get a hand on the belt before getting kicked at by MYOJIN! All 4 competitors are just inches away from getting championship gold, but their hands are slipping and the kicks are getting harder. They all get closer, and essentially end up locking legs to prevent the others from winning the match. Teddy lands a right hook that sends CLOUDY to the mat. He breaks free of the double leg locks from MYO and Arley and tries to bring his legs up to give his arms a break, but MYOJIN and Arley Kirk drill him with big kicks to the back that send him down to the mat too. The final two are going at it now. Natalie Kassidy, Bey Addams, Brody Howitzer, Bree Smith, Dona Rotten, and Kai Urigawa are now closing in on them. The moments are fleeting as Kirk desperately swings with a DOUBLE FOOT KI-NO!!! MYOJIN starts to swing and delivers a modified STARDUST FLASH!!! Arley goes down and MYOJIN quickly pulls their legs up to the cables so they can straddle the championship. The hordes are now upon MYOJIN, but it’s okay because they unclasp the R!ZE Championship AND DROP TO THE MAT FOR THE WIN!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... AND THE NEW R!ZE CHAMPION... MYOJIN!!!

After more than a year of frustration, feeling like spinning their wheel, and having no certain place in the NVR hierarchy, MYOJIN has finally found gold in NVR Wrestling. The fans cheer for them as they cherish the title they have won. There are some sore faces at ringside, but they mean nothing to MYOJIN as they hold their championship high in the air.

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: WHAT AN OPENER!!! I’M SO GLAD MYOJIN COULD FINALLY WIN A BIG ONE!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW CHAMPION!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST MATCHES IN NVR, AND IT’S HARD TO SCOUT FOR SUCH A CHAOTIC SETTING, BUT MYOJIN CAPITALIZED WHEN IT COUNTED MOST!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: WINNING THE BELT IS EASY, GETTING TO 5 IS HARD THOUGH!!! THAT’S WHY THE R!ZE CHAMPIONSHIP IS FOR WORK HORSES ONLY!!!

PREVIOUSLY RECORDED...
K.T. Anderson and Siobhan Mahoney are in their Los Angeles home sipping drinks outside by their pool. They say they may look like they are enjoying the sun and resting, but they have their eyes on their respective opponents. K.T. says he's going to snatch Gemma bald. She's an annoying bitch who has done nothing but been a thorn in his side ever since she replaced Sky Rayner a few years ago. Anderson has been training at the Keep for months now, and with the extra training from his "Wrestling Goddess" wife, Gemma stands a negative percent chance against the "Genius in Jorts". Siobhan says that Lena is going to regret making their matches an issue with her. She talks about how Lena cried that they were friends, but this is a business built on wins, not friendship. Siobhan says she doesn't pity Lena for what's about to happen to her, ut that when Galante is in the unemployment line, Siobhan will be there for her... reminding her just how bad she messed up.

BACKSTAGE...
Lena Galante is pumped. She's warming up for her match, and she's got nothing but determination on her face. She says she remembers when she and Siobhan would train together. They never ran the same circles, but they found each other and Lena thought they were cut from the same cloth. However, now Lena realizes that what Siobhan is cut from is much cheaper. Siobhan wants fame over friends? Siobhan wants to marry the first scumbag that gives her attention? Siobhan wants to prove that there is room for only one of them in NVR? Well, that's fine because Lena agrees, only she's going to give Siobhan all the karma that has been coming to her since the first time she had screwed Lena over. Galante finishes her promo by saying that she's going to laugh when Siobhan is out of a job and her husband is bald.

LENA GALANTE
vs
SIOBHAN MAHONEY

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS A LOSER LEAVES TOWN MATCH!!!

LET'S GO LENA!!!
SIOBHAN SUCKS!!!
LET'S GO LENA!!!
SIOBHAN SUCKS!!!
LET'S GO LENA!!!
SIOBHAN SUCKS!!!

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 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 their opponent...

The “Munch (Instrumental)” by Ice Spice 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 entering the ring through bottom rope. The former champion struts to the center of the ring and poses as she awaits her opponent.

Friends turn bitter rivals clash in this loser leaves match. Siobhan tries to start the match slowly, but Spice is fired up and runs up with a big kick. The Hot Mess tries to escape by dropping outside, but Lena slingshots on top of her. ! Lena doesn’t stop throwing punches and knees at Siobhan until Mahoney shoves her into a ring post. Siobhan is trying to capitalize back in the ring, but Spice catches her with a SMALL PACKAGE… 1… 2… SIOBHAN KICKS OUT!!! Both women pop up to their feet and Mahoney goes for a discus Lari- BACKSLIDE PIN.. 1… 2… NO!!! Siobhan is livid now and she goes for EIRE RA- SCHOOL BOY WITH THE BACK BEND… 1… 2… 3-NO!!! SIOBHAN COUNTERS INTO THE CELTIC CROSS-ARM BREAKER!!! Lena is able to keep her arms locked together and starts to stack up Siobhan. Mahoney wrenches on the arm and tries to break, but Lena has enough momentum and DROPS AN ELBOW ACROSS SIOBHAN’S NOSE!!! Mahoney is bleeding now and lets go of the hold to grab her face, but LENA DOESN’T RELENT!!! She drills elbows into The Hot Mess’ face until she looks like her nickname. Siobhan desperately rakes the face of Spice to get out of the onslaught. They get to their feet gingerly as Siobhan grabs Lena’s hair for BLARNEY STO- SCORPION KICK!!! Siobhan staggers around into the FIRE THUNDER DRIVER!!! LENA COVERS FOR THE… 1… 2… 3-NO!!! SIOBHAN WITH AN ARM UP!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: KEEP FIGHTING, BABY!!! I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: LENA GALANTE RELEASING MONTHS OF FRUSTRATION OUT ON SIOBHAN MAHONEY!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: SPICE IS ABOUT TO PUT HER AWAY, AND THEN I’M GOING TO PUT K.T. AWAY!!!

At every turn, it seems like Siobhan is outmatched. Every time she tries to get offense going, Lena is right there with a telegraphed move or a scouted counter to halt it all. Shout-out to The Lair for the well-disciplined intensity that Lena Galante is showing here because being around boxers and MMA fighters has given her a technical edge. What Lair couldn’t help her plan for, is thumbs to the eyes and hair pulling. Siobhan, in her desperate state, starts pulling out every dirty move she can within reason. Lena’s face is starting to get legit scratch marks from the underhanded tactic and it allows for Siobhan to hit KILLIAN’S CURSE!!! The Spinning Neckbreaker is just what she needs to get the edge over Spice’s technical prowess. Siobhan then drags Lena to the ropes and traps her arms between the top and middle ropes. She hits Lena with not one, but TWO EIRE RAID KNEES!!! She lets Jeff the Ref pull Lena out of the ropes as she takes the pad off the top turnbuckle. When Lena gets up, Siobhan grabs her and WHIPS HER INTO THE CORNER- STANDING SWITCH!!! SIOBHAN HITS THE EXPOSED BUCKLE!!! Lena goes up the turnbuckles and hits THE SPICE RACK!!! SHE COVERS… 1… 2… 3-WAIT!!! At this moment, K.T. Anderson throws his headset off and charges into the ring. Jeff the Ref breaks the count to get the rogue commentary personality out of the ring. Galante realizes what has happened, but before she can do anything about it… GEMMA MARCHAND SLIDES INTO THE RING AND HITS K.T. WITH A SUPERKICK!!! With all this chaos, Siobhan is able to get up and throw Lena into the turnbuckle and hit BLARNEY STONED AFTER IT!!! Security pulls Gemma and K.T. out of the ring as Lena tries to get up, BUT SIOBHAN HITS SHILLELAGH!!! IT’S ALL OVER… 1… 2… 3!!!

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

K.T. breaks free of security and charges in to celebrate with his wife. They jump up and down as boos reign heavily down in Studio Merlot. The Anderson-Mahoneys try to get a “Nana Nana Hey Hey Hey Goodbye” going, but instead, they get a “SHOULD BE YOU” chant. Siobhan ignores them and K.T. says he has to get ready for his match, but in reality, they are both getting escorted out of the ring by security.

When Lena comes to and realizes what has happened, she stands in the ring with her head low. The fans instantly start a “Thank You Lena” chant. This perks her up, even if only for a moment, and she reciprocates by thanking the crowd for their support. She tells them that she may have to leave NVR, but this isn’t goodbye, and she’ll see them around.

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: What a class act by Lena Galante, I just wish I could say the same about my commentary colleagues. Hopefully, this ban on her can be lifted soon and she can find her way back home because I know the NVR Faithful are already missing her.

LIVE...
Gemma Marchand is backstage with her corner-women, Jessica Carter and Natalie Kassidy. The WCTT is trying to calm Gemma down and help her refocus after her big scuffle with K.T. Anderson just moments before their much-anticipated match. They tell her that she's going to do great and that she's going to shave K.T. bald and that helps her get determined. Randomly there is a knock at the door. Before Natalie could ask who it was, TJS 4 NEWS burst through in full force. TJS zooms up to Gemma as Kai stands awkwardly to the side. He starts asking Gemma questions, like "Are you ready for your match" and "What training have you done", but Teddy accidentally upsets Gemma when he accidentally asks if she has any "bald" styles lined up if she loses. Natalie tells them to leave, and TJS "throws it to Kai in the Studio", but Kai just shrugs. Chad and Thad come out of the bathroom and threaten to hurt TJS and Kai. There's a semi-tense stand-off between WCTT and TJS 4 News as Kai refuses to back down, but Teddy plays peacekeeper and wishes Gemma luck on her match before pulling Kai away.

EARLIER TODAY...
Callie Buchanan is arriving at Studio Merlot. She feels like, even though most people may not like her, it's hard to doubt her skill. She beat Izzy in the opening round of the Women's Summit, beat Jessica Carter, became a finalist, and nearly beat Karen Willow for the R!ZE Championship before Izzy intervened. She says that it's clear to everyone that The Iron Maiden is the future of NVR Wrestling and that's why Izzy is scared. How could you not when you go from being a 500-day Champ Champ to losing in the first round of the Women's Summit and being banned from World Title contention? She doesn't blame Izzy for her fear and jealousy, in fact, she's going to validate all of it when she beats Izzy tonight.

---

---

---

PREVIOUSLY RECORDED...
Izzy believes people think she has lost her edge. She got the trick briefcase, she lost her shot at a 3-Peat in the Women's Summit, and now she's taken to costing people title matches. However, she doesn't see it as losing her edge, she sees it as sharpening her edge. She's been dealt a bad hand these last few months, and now she has to work with what she has, and what she has is Callie Buchanan. IVD admires Callie at a professional level but says that Callie overestimates her position in NVR. She may be the future, but today isn't the future. Neither is tomorrow or next month. She's just a plaything and after this "play date", Izzy will be bored with her.

GRUDGE MATCH
CALLIE BUCHANAN
vs
IZZY VAN DOREN

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

IR-ON MAI-DEN!!!
I-V-D!!!
IR-ON MAI-DEN!!!
I-V-D!!!
IR-ON MAI-DEN!!!
I-V-D!!!

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 flustered the end of her long coat and walked down to the ring, not even looking at or interacting with the fans. Choosing instead to trash-talk her opponent. When the bratty Brit enters the ring, she poses with her arms outstretched and slides her coat off, getting into her corner.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And their opponent...

Her new darker theme song pumps through the PA as Izzy Van Doren slowly struts out onto the stage. She lunges at the camera, making the operator step back. She used to be greeted with chants of her name, but it's replaced with a chorus of boos. Izzy scowls at the fans in the arena. She turns her back to the camera to reveal a large, green broken heart painted on her jacket. She pivots and starts marching to the ring.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: "Introducing first/And the opponent: from Chicago, IL; she is IZZY VAAAAAAAN DOOOOREEEEEEEEN!!!”

Izzy climbs the stairs, pauses to look out at the audience, walks out onto the apron, and stands there with her arms outstretched, soaking in the negative reaction from the audience. She pivots once again walks back to the turnbuckle and climbs up and points her scowl at the hard cam. She hops down and stands in the center of the ring.

Callie and Izzy have been on quite the ride. As Izzy turned on the fans, Callie in some ways turned toward them, however, their initial standing in NVR hadn’t been forgotten, so the fans were completely polarized. The match starts methodically, but as Callie tries to over-power and outmaneuver Izzy, Izzy jabs a thumb in her eye. Callie backs away, and Izzy comes in with a flurry of offense, but Buchanan hits a Spinebuster that stops it all. From a back mount, Callie rakes her forearm across the face of Izzy before hitting a STRAIGHT JACKET GERMAN SUPLEX!!! Izzy tries to escape to the outside, but Callie lands a cannonball senton that stops her. The Iron Maiden stomps Izzy into a mudhole before doing an impressive headstand on the top turnbuckle for a PENDULUM METEORA- NOBODY HOME!!! Izzy rolls out of the way at the last second. Izzy pulls herself up to her feet and uses Callie’s backward momentum to hit the MACARIA DRIVER!!! Both women are slow to rise again, but now it’s Callie going for OFF WITH HER HE- BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE KNEE!!! Izzy quickly follows up with KICK AND SNARE!!! The former World Champion isn’t done with her sequence yet as she goes to the corner for a STAGE DIVE!!! She lands perfectly on Callie for the… 1… 2… CALLIE KICKS OUT!!!

MR. WRESTLING 3K: Izzy Van Doren with her regular brand of high-intensity wrestling pushing Callie Buchanan to her limits already.

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: It’s amazing what these women can do as well as put them through in the ring.

MR. WRESTLING 3K: It’ll be interesting to see who comes out on top in this heated grudge match!

Izzy continues to use the fans’ energy to fuel her momentum, but they start to turn on her the more she seems to cheat. Hair pulls and eye pokes to get out of holds and onslaughts sour her public profile as time goes on. Callie is working the other way though, she’s starting to get more comfortable and confident in her ability so she doesn’t have to rake or hair pull. At one point she hits a deadlift German Suplex TO A BIG POP!!! Callie Buch now getting props from the fans as she sets Izzy up for a DOUBLE PUMPHANDLE ORANGE CRUSH BOMB!!! SHE COVERS FOR THE… 1… 2… IZZY SHOOTS AN ARM UP!!! The fans are on their feet now as Callie follows up with QUEEN’S CHOICE IN THE CORNER!!! As The iron maiden starts to get hyped up, she screams and charges with CALLIE-FORNIA DREAM- IZZY BACK DROPS CALLIE OVER THE TOP ROPE!!! Callie lands on the apron… AND IZZY BITES HER NOSE!!! She then headbutts Callie down to the floor. Izzy flips the crowd off as she hits the ropes and goes for SUICIDAL TENDENCIES!!! Izzy asks if they'd really rather have Callie, and they say yes, so Izzy says they can have her, as she whips her over the barricade and into the crowd. Izzy goes back into the ring and decides to take a count-out victory. Steph the Ref is counting and gets to a 7… Callie finally stumbles over the barricade… 8… 9… 10-WAIT!!! CALLIE MADE IT IN!!! As soon as she slides in Izzy hits her with ANOTHER KICK AND SNARE!!! She drags Callie to the center of the ring and goes for the SONIC REDUCE- BACK DROP BY CALLIE!!! Buchanan stumbles into the ropes, but gets good momentum for a CALLIE-FORNIA DREAMING… INTO DROP THE CURTAIN!!! IZZY IS CLEARLY OUT, BUT THE REFEREE HAS TO MAKE SURE!!! EVENTUALLY, IZZY HAND FALLS ONCE… TWICE… THRICE!!! THAT’S IT!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA SUBMISSION... CALLIE BUCHANAN!!!

Callie shoves Izzy’s limp body off her and stumbles to her feet! She still doesn’t know how to react to positive fan feedback, but she’s appreciative of their support. Callie celebrates in the ring while she can and tells everyone she’s starting to move on to title matches. As Callie Leaves, Izzy starts to stir, and she is NOT having it. She yells at the fans to stop cheering for Callie, but they start to chant for The Iron Maiden even louder. Izzy starts taking things from fans and throwing them around to get them to stop, but they taunt her all the way to the back.

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: CALLIE BUCHANAN WITH QUITE POSSIBLY THE BIGGEST WIN OF HER CAREER!!!

MR. WRESTLING 3K: OH HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN!!! Izzy Van Doren causing a scene over a hard-fought loss.

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: I can’t tell if this is the pressure getting to Izzy, or if she’s truly struggling to keep up with the newer crop of NVR wrestlers.

HAIR VS HAIR
SINGLES MATCH
GEMMA MARCHAND
(w/ JESSICA CARTER & NATALIE KASSIDY)
vs
K.T. ANDERSON
(w/ SIOBHAN MAHONEY & DONNIE PROWER)

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

ONE FALL!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first...

YEA, I GO ON AND ON
CAN’T UNDERSTAND HOW I SO LONG

“For Free” by DJ Khaled ft. Drake comes out as K.T. Anderson steps out in a bedazzled robe with his arms wide. Siobhan Mahoney is hyping him up, and his trainer Donnie is reluctantly walking out with him. The fans win the 1.5x NVR Staff Member of the Year. He taunts the fans as he walks around with a wig in his hand the same color as Gemma’s Hair. Siobhan is supporting her husband proudly, but Donnie looks like he would be anywhere else if he could be. He gets to the ring and Siobhan opens the ropes for him to go into the ring. He and the Hot Mess pose while Donnie tries to get K.T. to focus, if even for a second.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And their opponent...

AFTER ALL YOU PUT ME THROUGH
YOU’D THINK ID DESPISE YOU
BUT IN THE END, I WANNA THANK YOU
‘CAUSE YOU MADE ME STRONGER

As soon as the soulful and self-empowering words of Christina Aguilera’s “Fighter” come on across the PA System. Out comes World’s Chaddest Faction members Jessica Carter and Natalie Kssidy hyping the crowd up. The fans may not like WCF, but they hate K.T. even more so they cheer as hard as they can. When the cheering hits it’s peak, the former tag team champions point to the curtain and cue the award-winning commentator, Gemma Marchand! She’s in all gold, looking like a real Goddess as she walks around and high-fives as many fans as she can. WCF tries to get her away from the fans, but she can’t help it, she loves them and wants to appreciate her support. She slides into the ring and goes right at K.T., but Siobhan Mahoney, and to a lesser extent Donnie, get in her way. Gemma goes to all sides of the ring, steps on the ropes, and throws an arm in the air to get 3 big pops from everyone before getting ready for her big match.

K.T. has nearly half a foot and 100lbs on Gemma, so despite Gemma starting off hot, he quickly puts an arm out and prevents her from landing any strikes. Marchand quickly goes for a wristlock, but Anderson’s training at The Keep and Wristlock Academy has him prepared. He overpowers her wristlock and ends up lifting her up for a big wristlock-lift slam. K.T. puts a boot on Gemma’s chest for a… 1… KICK OUT!!! Upset with Gemma choosing to fight, he boots all over her appendages and then drops an elbow across her chest for another pin… 1… ANOTHER KICK OUT!!! K.T. locks in a rear naked choke, but Gemma is able to get a few good kicks into his knee to loosen his hold. Marchand follows up with a SHIRANUI!!! She holds for a… 1… 2… KICK OUT!!! Gemma hits a superkick to the face of K.T. to keep him down and heads to the top rope. She waits for the Genius in Jorts to get to his feet and then leaps off with a GEMMA GO RO- K.T. COUNTERS IT INTO A SIT-OUT POWERBOMB… 1… 2… GEMMA KICKS OUT… BUT K.T. COUNTERS INTO A STRETCH MUFFLER!!! Anderson screams for Marchand to tap out. Gemma goes to grab the ropes, but Siobhan slaps her hand away. WCF comes charging by, Donnie pulls Siobhan away and tells everyone to stay away and mind their business. K.T. is still wrenching on the leg, but Gemma GRABS THE ROPE!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: I hate to say it, but K.T. is as fluid in the ring as he is annoying on commentary.

MR. WRESTLING 3K: That’s truly saying something, Donnie and the late Tapp Addams should be proud because none of us saw that coming.

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: But Gemma is no slouch either, and technically with the experience, she’s just as good as he is, she just has to find a way to take away his immense size advantage.

K.T. uses lots of squeeze-based holds to wear Gemma down, but her fighting spirit keeps her going. At one point, he has Gemma stuck in a bear hug, and Jess shouts out the advice to hit a bell clap, AND GEMMA DOES JUST THAT!!! K.T. Anderson drops Gemma and this is the moment she was looking for. Running bottom rope Springboard stunner catches him off guard and she follows up with a spinning roundhouse that knocks him to a knee. Gemma hits the ropes for something but gets tripped up by Siobhan. Donnie yells at Siobhan, and here comes WCF to chase Siobhan away. Siobhan tells them to go away, but Donnie tells Siobhan to go away. K.T. uses all these distractions as the perfect moment to roll up Gemma and grab a handful of tights while doing so… 1… 2… DONNIE POINTS OUT THE ILLEGAL PIN… THE COUNT IS BROKEN!!! K.T. can’t believe it, and he screams at Donnie. Prower says this isn’t what I taught you and K.T. tells him to go fuck himself. Donnie looks offended and says fine, before walking away from the match altogether. K.T. screams out fine and turns around to face Gemma…TILT-A-WHIRL SMALL PACKAGE BY THE GEM OF THE COMMENTARY BOOTH… 1… 2… KICK OUT!!! Back to their feet and GEMMA WITH A SUPERKICK!!! She goes to the corner and goes for a DOUBLE SPRINGBOARD PHOENIX SPLASH!!! SHE COVERS FOR THE… 1… 2… SIOBHAN PULLS GEMMA OUT OF THE RING!!! Natalie Kassidy charges at Siobhan and they start to brawl. Jeff the Ref banishes both of them from ringside. Back in the ring, Gemma tries to capitalize on the momentum she had, but a springboard crossbody GETS HER CAUGHT!!! Fallaway Slam by K.T. and now he sets up THE TAPP CLASSIC!!! Marchand is trapped in the center of the ring and right when she looks like she might tap… JESSICA CARTER GETS ON THE APRON!!! The fans go crazy for the assisted save, but this enrages K.T. as he lets go and tries to knock Jessica off the apron. Jess drops before K.T., but Anderson pleads with Jeff the Ref to ban Jess Carter from the ring too. Jeff the Ref gets tired of Jess and K.T. bickering and obliges with the ring-side ban of Jessica Carter. While Jeff is distracted with all of that GEMMA HITS A LOW BLOW ON K.T.!!! She gets Jeff’s attention and then rolls her opponent up in a MAGISTRAL CRADLE… 1… 2… 3!!!

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

The crowd erupts as Gemma throws an arm up. A video on the big screen shows WCF handcuffing Siobhan to something in Gorilla as they run back down the ramp to celebrate with Gemma. They also come with a hair-shaving kit. With a separate pair of handcuffs Natalie and Jessica trap him as Gemma gleefully shaves divots into the head of K.T. Anderson. The Sultan of Sarcasm screams in sheer terror at the removal of his hair but Gemma and the World’s Chaddest Faction isn’t done. Gemma also takes half of his mustache and an eyebrow. She wants to take more, but here comes a freed Siobhan Mahoney with a towel. She pulls her husband out of the ring and wraps his head with the towel before they run out through the crowd.

MR. WRESTLING 3K: A lot of craziness at ringside during this match, but at the end of the night, it feels like the right person is going home hairless!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: Couldn’t agree more. Gemma deserved this win, and if K.T. hadn’t been playing dirty earlier in the match, Gemma would have never needed to do what she did.

MR. WRESTLING 3K: Just goes to show that cheating never prospers… so long as there isn’t a rational and fair reason behind it like here tonight. However, maybe just for this match, we are a bit biased!

[NVR Staff]

DURING THE BREAK...
K.T. Anderson is being rushed out of Studio Merlot by his wife, Siobhan Mahoney. He has a towel on his head. TJS and Kai Urigawa come running up asking him if they can get an interview. K.T. screams from under the towel that he needs to leave for medical reasons. Teddy asks if Gemma broke something of his, but K.T. screams no and says that he broke his leg before the match and that's why he lost. Teddy says that there's no way because K.T. is standing. Siobhan asks if Teddy has X-ray vision, and TJS shakes his head no, so she tells him to shut up. Kai pokes K.T.'s "broken" leg with his foot in the middle of K.T. trying to convince Teddy that it's legitimately broken and it takes a moment for K.T. to even realize he's being touched. When he does realize, he lets out a wicked scream and says that if he knows anything, it's that he'll be out of action for 2 months' at least. Kai asks why he'd be out of action if it's his leg that's broken and not, say, his throat or jaw. Siobhan screams that she'll have their journalism license for this and they run away into the night.

GOLDENWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
SINGLES MATCH
ADRIANNA WILDE (C)
vs
DARBY MACNAMARA

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS MATCH IS FOR THE NVR GOLDENWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

LET’S GO ADRI!!!
DARBY MAC!!!
LET’S GO ADRI!!!
DARBY MAC!!!
LET’S GO ADRI!!!
DARBY MAC!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first, the challenger...

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 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.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And the champion...

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 waves off the fans and allows herself to roll backward over the top rope and onto her feet, where she quickly claims a corner for herself as the music fades out.

A high-intensity match between two fan favorites. Darby takes control of the match quickly with his speed and size. Adri tries to hold her ground, but she starts to lose her footing as Darby flies into her with FAUGH A BALLAGH!!! Darby points to the Goldenweight Championship as he goes to the corner for a lightning-quick WIRED TO THE MOON… 1… 2… KICK OUT!!! Adri fights out of the cover and tries to brawl to her feet, but Darby goes for THE WAXING MO- ADRI CATCHES IT!!! UNFORTUNATE TURN OF EVENTS INTO A HEEL PICK!!! Darby uses his free leg to help him up to a 3-point stance and he hobbles to the ropes to break the hold. Now Adri has a target. She goes after that leg with stiff kicks, drop-toe holds, and chop blocks. Darby counters one of her chop block attempts with a front flip leg drop that takes her down. Darby hobbles on one foot as Adri stumbles her to feet, stunned by the counter. Desperately he goes for DIRT BIRD-NO!!! Adri counters it with the REALITY CHECK-NO!!! Darby blocks the chop… AND LOCKS IN THE FORSAKEN RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!!! Adri instantly goes into her defensive mode, trying her best to break free. Her free arm starts to shake like she might tap, but she finally gets in position to BREAK FREE!!! She battles free of Darby’s grip. They get to their feet and Darby goes for a WAXING MO- ADRI DUCKS IT!!! She hits the ropes for THE HANGOVER- FAUGH A BALLAGH!!! Darby drapes a leg across her chest for the… 1… 2… ADRI KICKS OUT!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: DARBY MACNAMARA IS SO DYNAMIC IN THAT RING!!!

MR. WRESTLING 3K: I have never called matches for either of these wrestlers, but I am sincerely blown away at their persistence and ingenuity! ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL TALENTS!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: Adrianna survives for now, but can she recover and retain her championship!!!

Adrianna starts a bit of a comeback as she avoids a 450. Darby lands on his feet to recover, but he rolls his ankle. As he grabs his ankle, Adrianna Wilde dives down with a sharp forearm to the back of the head. Wilde follows up by trying to put Darby in LOCKED IN SYNDRO-NO!!! Darby kicks himself free. He pulls himself up to his feet and goes for a third FAUGH A BALL- STIFF KNEE TO THE FACE BY ADRIANNA!!! Darby is rocked and Adrianna follows with a REALITY CHECK!!! She doesn’t go for the pin though, she decides to catch her breath. She sees an opportunity and hits a modified THE HANGOVER ON DARBY AS HE GOT TO HIS FEET!!! She covers for the… 1… 2… 3-NO!!! DARBY GETS AN ARM UP!!! Adrianna is running on fumes here as she pulls Darby up by his hair. She whips him into the ropes and goes for the RYDEEN BO- DARBY LEAP FROGS HER!!! In a flash, Darby hooks Adrianna’s head and hits a DIRTBIRD!!! He holds on for the… 1… 2… ADRI KICKS OUT AGAIN!!! Adrianna looks gassed as she shoves herself up to her knee- WAXING MOON!!! Darby sees Shiny things in his eyes. He goes to the apron and waits for Wilde to stagger to her feet for him to go for I’D RATHER BE SHI- SILICON BUSTER!!! Adrianna catches him in the last moment with a big front lung blower. Darby does a flip from the impact of the move as Adri uses the ropes to get to her feet. She screams, and as Darby sells the counter he just took, ADRI HITS BREAK THROUGH!!! SHE COVERS FOR THE… 1… 2… 3!!!

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

Adrianna gets to a knee for only a moment, but she collapses back down to a seated position. A hard win that looks like Adrianna might have lost if the match would go any longer. She does eventually get to her feet and gets her hand raised. She gives Darby her respect and he reluctantly accepts the handshake, but his eyes never leave the Golden Weight Championship. The fans end up cheering for both of them with a few even giving them a standing ovation.

GEMMA MARCHAND: WHAT A MATCH!!! These two gave it their absolute all tonight!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: Couldn’t agree more! Darby MacNamara nearly walked away with gold here tonight, but Adrianna with a crafty counter saves her reign for another defense!

MR. WRESTLING 3K: I AM IMPRESSED BY BOTH OF THESE WRESTLERS!!! GOLDENWEIGHT IS RIGHT FOR THESE TWO!!!

[NVR Staff]

EARLIER TODAY...
Abby Blake makes her official NVR debut after winning the 2023 Women's Summit tournament last month. She's excited to be here, and she's excited to become the NVR Women's Champion on her first real night as an NVR wrestler. Abby calls Dani a bully. There was a time when Dani fought for what was right, but she let her success distract her from what was important, the fans. Abby Blake isn't like that. The fans may not know her yet, but she knows them, and she's ready to give them someone they can cheer for. She's won the Women's Summit, she's going to win the Women's Championship, and she's going to bring the division back to the fans. Then, with the entire women's division rocked, Abby is going to see what everyone has to offer in a match.

BACKSTAGE...
Dani Davies is holding her NVR Women's Championship. She welcomes Abby Blake to NVR, if only because she's going to stomp her back out of the company. She heard Abby's promo, and she has to tell Abby that she's horrifically wrong. Dani never turned on the fans, she was always this mean and cruel. She just stopped beating on only people the fans disliked. That's what Abby doesn't get. Yes, Abby won the Women's Summit, but Dani had beaten most of those women already. She had beaten Brea Lombardi numerous times. She hasn't had many defenses because management is struggling to find eligible challengers. Dani has little fear about losing her title tonight. Abby won a tournament in La La Land, but Dani is the cold reality that there is nobody on Dani's level physically or mentally.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first, the challenger...

Purple and Yellow lights fill the venue as Doja Cat’s “You Right” begins to play over the speakers. Out walks The Luchadorka, Abby Blake, with a custom Los Angeles “Blakers” Jersey with a big 24 on it and Mighty Mouse armband. She smiles at the crowd as she skips down to the ring, singing to her theme as she hi-fives the fans on her way. She takes her jersey off and whirls it around her head, before throwing it toward the crowd. Abby smiles as she hits the ropes and does a forward roll toward the center of the ring, landing on one knee and pointing at the ceiling. She backs into the corner and awaits the bell.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And now, the champion...

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 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, before spinning into the ring and poses one more time, still singing the words to the song as the music.

Polar opposites clash here, as the LA Blakers Girl takes on the The Maiden of Agony. Abby tries for a test of strength, but Dani slaps her across the face. The match takes off from here, and Abby instantly catches her for a hurricanrana that throws her across the ring. Abby starts to get some speed, taking Dani down with a few springboard moves and crossbodies, but Dani cuts her in half with a stiff kitchen sink knee. Dani starts whaling on her, but Abby breaks out with a handspring. Abby hits a jumping enziguri that sends Dani off into the ropes. Blake goes across the ring and rebounds towards Davies with a running forest- DANI POPS HER OVER THE TOP ROPE!!! The agile Abby lands on the apron and springboards up for a LUNG- DANI WITH A JUMPING UPPERCUT!!! ABBY CRUMBLES TO RINGSIDE!!! Dani slides to the outside and starts to drill punches, forearms, and knees into Abby. Dani beats Abby Blake until she’s on her hands and knees and goes for LOVE LAYB-NO!!! Abby flips forward and shoots behind. Abby lands a quick spin kick to the gut, doubling over Dani. She hooks Davies’ head as the fans scream “SOUP” and she throws Dani WITH THE SOUP-ER PLEX INTO THE RING STEPS!!! Abby goes into the ring to break the count, but also to get to higher ground. The LA Blakers Girl runs across the apron for a QUANTUM KNEE DROP OFF THE APRON… BUT DANI ROLLS AWAY!!! Abby collides with the steps now, and Dani quickly throws Abby back into the ring. She lines Abby up for a ROARING FOREARM- PUMP KICK COUNTER!!! Dani goes to throw a punch, but Abby quickly counters it into THE BLAKE LOCK!!! Dani tries to break free of the double pumphandle hold, but Abby hits her with a SUNSET FLIP… FOLLOWS BY A SHINING WIZARD!!! Blake covers with the… 1… 2… DANI DAVIES KICKS OUT!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: ABBY BLAKE JUST CAN’T BE HELD DOWN!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: DANI DAVIES WANTED THE BEST, AND NOW SHE’S GETTING JUST THAT IN ABBY BLAKE!!!

MR. WRESTLING 3K: Dani Davies looks a bit lost out there, but if she keeps kicking out, eventually she will tire Abby Blake out!

Dani uses a series of stiff strikes to take the match back. With Abby Blake stunned, The Women’s Champion is able to hip her into the corner and follow up with a running European Uppercut. She again whips the challenger across the ring and hits the follow-up European Uppercut. She whips Abby one more time, AND ABBY SPRINGBOARDS TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE. She spins mid-air and hits Dani with DOUBLE JUMP SKIDOO!!! She covers Dani for the… 1… 2… KICK OUT!!! Dani throws her arm up so hard that she rolls to her stomach. She tries to get up, but Abby hooks her head for the ROSE HAMMER!!! She covers again for the… 1… 2… AGAIN DANI GETS THE ARM UP!!! Blake is starting to feel exhausted, so she follows up with one more move… A STANDING MOONSAULT… BUT DANI GETS HER KNEES UP!!! As Dani and Abby struggle to their feet, Dani dives with a double leg and takes Abby down!!! They grapple and fight as Dani tries to lock in PLEASE CHO- ABBY GETS TO THE ROPES!!! She crawls through the ropes to get some space, but here comes Dani with BIG RIGHT HA- ABBY SNAPS HER HEAD OVER THE TOP ROPE!!! Dani stumbles back and Abby springboards up for POINTEORA… BUT NOBODY IS HOME!!! Dani Davies hits the ropes to evade Abby and hits her with LOVE, LAY-BABY!!! Abby is planted and Dani goes for the… 1… 2… NOW ABBY KICKS OUT!!! Dani shakes her head as she flips Abby over and hits her with CRUEL INTENTIONS!!! The fans boos, and Dani takes note of this so she HITS ABBY WITH ANOTHER CRUEL INTENTIONS!!! The fans get even more upset with Dani so she releases Abby and covers her, taunting the crowd by counting with the referee… 1… 2… 3!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA PINFALL... AND STILL NVR WOMEN’S CHAMPION… DANI DAVIES!!!

Dani taunts Abby as she gets handed her Women’s Championship. She tells Abby to take a good long hard look at the championship because just like everyone else, nobody is ever going to take it from her. Dani decides Abby didn’t get a good enough look at the forbidden prize, and places the championship under Abby’s head, before hitting ANOTHER LOVE, LAYBABY ON THE NVR WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP!!! Security slides into the ring and drags Dani away, but Dani yells that Abby will only ever know pain when it comes to the Women’s championship.

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: Dani Davies has snapped, and now she’s taking her anger out on everyone else.

GEMMA MARCHAND: Abby Blake worked hard to win the Women’s Summit, and she did not deserve all that unnecessary roughness she got at the end there. Leave the woman with her respect at least.

MR. WRESTLING 3K: Dani Davies had to send a message, but what a despicable way to convey it. The funny thing is, stuff like this only makes wrestlers even more determined to come back and take the title from oppressive champions.

[NVR Staff]

DURING THE BREAK...
Freddie Florentino is looking for Donnie, but he can't seem to find him. He talks to Adri Wilde and she says that Donnie is still in Studio Merlot, since he had to be there for K.T.'s match. Freddie is trying to figure out why Donnie is acting the way he has been, but Adri has no answers. She had talked to Donnie and he's as willing to make STRONGHOLD work again as Freddie is, he just wants to do it right. Freddie rolls his eyes and says that he's going to make sure they win the titles and they can focus on what's "right" between the both of them another time. Adri doesn't look convinced and says to just remind Donnie that they used to be brothers and trusted each other. Freddie nods and says that he's got nothing but Donnie's best interest at heart and that he wishes Donnie was here to hear him say that. Adrianna says she believes him and that she can't wait for STRONGHOLD to hold all the gold again.

TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
TAG TEAM MATCH

DEAD PRETENDERS (C)

(KIRA IZUMI & SUI OBATA)

vs

STRONGHOLD

(DONNIE PROWER & FREDDIE FLORENTINO)

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

DEAD PRE-TEN-DERS!!!
STRONG-HOLDS FINE!!!
DEAD PRE-TEN-DERS!!!
STRONG-HOLDS FINE!!!
DEAD PRE-TEN-DERS!!!
STRONG-HOLDS FINE!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first, the challengers...

The intro to Jaden Smith's smash hit "Icon" reverberates through the speakers as the crowd comes 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, Freddie Florentino bursts out all by himself 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, trying not to let Donnie’s absence deter him from getting his NVR Tag Team Championships back. He makes his way down to the ring, turning his attention to the match at hand as he scales the turnbuckles. Freddie hunches over, lowering his sunglasses down the bridge of his nose and running his mouth. He hops in the ring and begins to warm up, thinking he may have to fight wrestle this match on his own.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And now, the champions...

果てなき世界ならば この胸には証しを
同じ涙濡れたら 僕ら笑いあおう

Both Kira And Sui come out from the back before they point at the ring and do a cutthroat motion. They make their way down the rampway and walk around the ring, along the way slapping hands of fans and talking to the crowd. They meet up to where the announce table is and climb on top of it, making an "X" with their arms and riling up the crowd.

きおく きずな きぼうと重ねたら みらいいろ
ずっと僕らは描いてく

They make their way into the ring and climb up to the top turnbuckle where they do another cutthroat motion, sticking out their tongues and rolling their eyes into the back of their heads. all undertaker-like. They drop down and square up to their opponents finishing it off.

As Freddie stands across from Kira Izumi and Sui Obata, Jeff the Ref asks if Freddie wants to forfeit, but Freddie says no. He’s willing to fight this match alone if he has to. Luckily, he doesn’t have to, because right as Senior Official Jeffery Coors goes to signal for the bell, “Sumo” by Denzel Curry plays on the PA System!!!

Donnie Prower cooly walks out with a The Keep shirt in his hands. He looks around at Studio Merlot with a calm focus, before heading down to the ring. Fans chant for STRONGHOLD, but Donnie ignores them and raises his shirt for The Keep. As fans try to wind Donnie up, he tells them that they're about to sit in on an exhibition. He makes his way down to the ring and scales the turnbuckle where Freddie is standing. Donnie takes off his The Keep shirt and waves it like a flag for all to see. He drops back down and looks Freddie in the eyes. There’s a tense moment of silence, but Donnie offers his hand and Freddie shakes it! WE GOT A REUNION!!!

The match starts relatively smoothly for the former champions, as Donnie starts off against Sui Obata. Obata lands a few stiff strikes, but Donnie catches a kick and goes for the single leg. They grapple on the mat, as Donnie slowly goes for a mounted wristlock, but Obata is able to break out. Sui goes for a tag, but Donnie shoots in front of him and intercepts with a double-leg takedown this time! Gator Roll and a Falcon Arrow bring Obata to the other corner, and now STRONGHOLD with a tag. With their allotted 5 seconds, STRONGHOLD HITS TRUTH AND CONSEQUENCES!!! Freddie quickly covers Obata, but it’s only a 2. Freddie Flow is all over Obata though, disorienting Obata with a series of standing switches and chain grappling, ending with a big elbow to the back of the head. Freddie lifts The Sakura Shogun on his shoulders and taunts Kira Izumi, but his arrogance gives Obata the moment he needs. Sui slides down Freddie’s back and shoves him into the corner, where Kira drills him with an elbow. Stunned, Freddie turns around for a DEATH BOMBER!!! Tag to Kira and together they set up for AKAI AME- DONNIE WITH THE SAVE!!! Prower runs in with a shoulder tackle to Sui, taking the illegal member of Dead Pretenders out of the ring. Donnie goes to yell at Steph the Ref for the slow 5 count, but Kira hits ITAMI NO IZUMI!!! Donnie goes to ringside. The Prince of Darkness has his sights on Freddie as he sets him up for the KIRA DRIVE- RIVERSIDE RIDE!!! Freddie covers for the 1… 2… KIRA WITH A KICK OUT!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: Despite not talking in months, STRONGHOLD has not missed a single step.

MR. WRESTLING 3K: Common enemies and common goals make for great motivators.

GEMMA MARCHAND: But how long until Donnie and Freddie realize they hate each other???

The answer is a lot longer than you’d think, Gemma. Donnie and Freddie keep the Champions in the ropes for most of the match. Donnie gets irritated at Freddie’s flamboyance and willingness to bend the rules, but Freddie constantly corrects his actions whenever Donnie mentions it. At one point, Freddie has Kira worn down and he’s setting up for Poetic Elevation. On his way up the turnbuckle, he tags in Donnie. Freddie walks around not one, not two, not three ropes, BUT HE WALKS THE ENTIRE RING ON THE TOP ROPE BEFORE HITTING HIS DiVING ARMBAR!!! Donnie was incensed over this, as this was much longer than the 5 seconds, and Steph the Ref didn’t even start counting until the submission was locked in. Freddie tries to convince Donnie to turn the hold into a double submission, but Prower just tells him to get to the corner before they get disqualified. Donnie does, however, instantly get onto Kira with a grounded octopus stretch. He starts to drill elbows into The Prince of Darkness, and Sui Obata comes running in for the save with a diving double-foot stomp! Donnie battles Obata back to the Champions’ Corner, before going back to Kira… SMALL PACKAGE BY IZUMI… 1… 2… 3-NO!!! DONNIE BREAKS OUT!!! They get to their feet and trade strikes, but Donnie whips Kira into the ropes… KONJIKI ASHISOGI JI- WAIT!!! The moonsault into the back mount was perfect, but Donnie was ready. He shoots behind Kira and hits a RELEASE LEG HOOK BELLY-TO-BACK SUPLEX!!! Donnie heads to the corner, looking to catch his breath for a moment before going for an IMANARI ROLL HEEL HO- TAG!!! Freddie blind tags Donnie. Donnie doesn’t realize it at first and gets the Heel Hook locked in, but Steph the Ref is telling him to release because he’s not legal. This is quickly cemented by the fact that Freddie comes in and stomps Kira into the mat while Donnie still has the hold partially in. Upon Donnie’s release, Freddie quickly grabs Kira and tells Donnie to go up for COUNT TO FU- NO!!! Donnie refuses. Freddie throws Kira to the ground for a moment, and the two men start to bicker. Donnie wonders if this was a ploy to make him look bad, or for Freddie to jump him while he wasn’t looking. Freddie tells him he’s crazy and to just hit the move. During this standstill, neither of them realizes a tag is made. Freddie shoves Donnie into the corner, telling him to go up for their tag finish, but Donnie shoves Freddie… INTO KIRA IZUMI!!! Izumi pops him up in an electric chair and Sui Obata quickly takes Freddie down with BU-SHI-DO!!! Prower sits frozen in the corner with eyes wide as Obata covers for the… 1… 2… 3!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA PINFALL... AND STILL NVR TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS… KIRA IZUMI & SUI OBATA… DEAD PRETENDERS!!!

Sui and Kira celebrate as Freddie looks up at the lights in disbelief. Donnie doesn’t know how to react and just sits on the middle turnbuckle. The Dead Pretenders can tell this is going to be awkward, so they take their belts and leave.

Donnie helps Freddie up, but Freddie shoves him and asks what the hell that was all about. Donnie told him if he didn’t like it, just turn on him already. Freddie screams that Donnie is crazy, but Donnie says whatever and just turns around as if giving Freddie a free shot to jump him. Freddie spins Donnie back around and says he’s not going to jump him and he doesn’t understand Donnie. Donnie shoves him and says that it’s pretty clear this is over. Freddie shoves Donnie back and says maybe it is. Donnie tells Freddie to jump him already because he knows that’s what is going to happen. Again, Freddie denies it and says Donnie’s just paranoid and dramatic, and nothing without Freddie carrying his promos and banter.

They start to bicker more heavily as Adrianna Wilde comes down and tries to break up the squabbling. However, as Donnie once again says Freddie is just going to turn on him because Freddie is a “cheating bastard anyways”, Freddie has had enough and goes to throw a punch, BUT HE HITS ADRIANNA INSTEAD!!! Wilde is enraged, despite Florentino’s apologies, and she shoves both men as hard as she can. Adrianna says that they need to settle this in the ring already so they can get over themselves. Donnie calls them both pathetic and leaves the ring. Freddie then calls for a microphone and challenges Donnie to a Best out of 3 series. That way Freddie can prove that Donnie isn’t good enough without him and that he doesn’t need to turn on Donnie to make him look like a punk bitch. Donnie accepts and says that he’s going expose Freddie for the fraud he has always been.

GEMMA MARCHAND: Can’t say I’m heartbroken that STRONGHOLD is officially dead, but I’m excited to see Donnie vs Freddie: The Series!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: STRONGHOLD’s implosion has been building all year, and a couple of months ago I thought for sure it was dead, but now it is confirmed. I just wonder if 3 matches will be enough to get all this bad blood out.

MR. WRESTLING 3K: Let’s not forget the fact that Dead Pretenders toppled their long-time rivals and former 2x NVR Tag Team Champions with ease by pitting themselves against each other. Yes, the STRONGHOLD Series is interesting, but where does the Tag DIvision go from here?

[NVR Staff]

PREVIOUSLY RECORDED...
A compilation of promos plays. It starts with Brea Lombardi talking about how 2023 hasn't been her year, but this is her moment to claim glory. We then jump to Tiffany Lynn Page saying that NVR hasn't gotten to see what she can truly do yet, but when she wins the American Thunder Dome, they'll never doubt the talent of "Too Sexy". In that same vein, Erik Holland now is talking, saying that he will be debuting his brand of terror in the Thunder Dome because everyone knows that he thrives in chaos. He doesn't think anyone is ready for the Toxic Avenger, but that's not his problem. One person who does think they're ready is JD Driftwood. He says he's fucking up everyone, and he's gotten his muscles up now, so he won't be getting gassed at the top like a couple of years ago. Jessica Carter and Chad Kassidy are up now, talking about how it's World's Chaddest vs Everyone else. They know only one can win, and they'll make sure one does. WCTT is after all the gold in NVR and the Thunder Dome is their superhighway for that goal. Diego Matias has been in ATD before, and he's been near the NVR World Championship before. He says that this is his night to finally take one step closer to finally achieving his childhood dream. Dana Alans is starting to think that people have forgotten just how dominant she is, whether she is with Bree or not. She is going to use this match to remind everyone that before she was a Baehemoth, she was THE Behemoth. Gavin Grimes admits that he's been struggling. he has felt that way for a long time in NVR, even if his last loss was a kick to the dick, he knows better and feels like he should be doing better. He promises, that tonight will not only be his night but the step in the right direction he has needed. Lastly, we get Julianna DiMaria talking about the #NVRevengeTour. She says that she's already won the American Thunder Dome, she just has to do it again and everything she has been fighting for will be hers.

THUN-DER DOME!!!
THUN-DER DOME!!!
THUN-DER DOME!!!

The ten competitors stand in the center of the ring, staring up as the ring crew lowers the top of the dome and locks it in place. As soon as the Dome is together, the bell rings and the wrestlers are off to the races. Some of the smaller and more agile wrestlers head straight up the cage walls, but the bigger wrestlers start to grab at ankles and pull people down to the ground. Somehow, Tiffany Lynn Page makes it up to where the dome starts to curve, but she’s quickly caught by Brea Lombardi. Jess Carter also catches up to Too Sexy, and together with the Leather Rebel, they start to pull on her legs until TLP plummets to the mat. Jess tries to climb up, but Brea instantly starts to target her. They trade strikes until Brea headbutts Jessica and it causes BOTH OF THEM TO FALL TO THE MAT!!! Julianna tries to climb up, but her rivalry is renewed with Gavin Grimes as he pulls her down and starts to fight with her. Chad Kassidy starts to make his way up, but Diego Matias is right behind him. Chad kicks it into high gear, but Matias is just a bit quicker and is already climbing past Chad. Chad goes even faster and as soon as he gets close her HITS DIEGO IN THE NUTS!!! Matias goes crashing down and now Chad has a pathway to the top. As he tries to find his footing for the curved ascent up the dome, Erik Holland and JD Driftwood are trading big shots in the center of the ring. Dana Alans isn’t about to let Chad getaway. She quickly climbs to Chad and grabs his boot as he tries to kick her away. Chad locks his arms in the cage as Dana tries to throw him to the floor. Dana is using all her strength, but Chad hasn’t budged from the wall… BUT JD LIFTS ERIK AND POWERBOMBS HIM INTO THE CAGE WALL, SHAKING THE AMERICAN THUNDER DOME!!! The shifting makes Chad and Dana both lose their grips AND DOWN THEY GO!!!

MR. WRESTLING 3K: IT IS COMPLETE CHAOS IN THERE!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: A NVR WORLD TITLE SHOT IS ON THE LINE!!! THESE TALENTED WRESTLERS AREN’T ABOUT TO ACT TAME ABOUT IT!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: WHEN WILL BE THE FIRST TO THE TOP AND CLAIM THAT OPPORTUNITY THOUGH? MY MONEY IS ON JESS CARTER!!!

Bodies go up the cage wall, and bodies fall to the mat as the 10 competitors do their best to try and get to the top of the American Thunder Dome. Jessica Carter and Chad Kassidy do their best to be a team, but Dana Alans stops their momentum with a RIDE THE LIGHTNING TO JESS!!! Chad hits her with a SUPER CHAD PUNCH!!! He ditches Jess and goes to the cage, but is instantly pulled down by DiMaria and TLP. As they take out Chad, they then turn on each other and pummel each other, taking turns smashing the other’s face into the cage wall. JD and Grimes start to fight it out in a corner. JD is laying in heavy shots, but Gavin ducks one and Driftwood ends up slamming his fist into the turnbuckle. Lombardi offers The Cult Classic her services and he asks her to go to the turnbuckle. He grabs JD in a 3/4s Headlock as Brea leaps off the top with a MOSH ROOM STOMP/CAPTAIN’S CUTTER COMBO!!! Across the ring, the Toxic Avenger and El Corazon Del Oro are locked in combat. Holland lifts Diego for a back suplex but MATIAS ROLLS BACKWARD!!! He ducks under a spinning back fist and DIEGO HITS A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT- ERIK CATCHES HIM!!! He charges and LAWN DARTS DIEGO INTO THE WALL-NO!!! DIEGO CATCHES HIMSELF!!! Instantly he starts to head to the top of the cage with Erik Holland in tow. Holland slams his massive arm on the back of Diego stopping him in his tracks. Gavin and Lombardi climb up too to pull Erik down in case Diego falls. Dana Alans goes up and hooks Grimes and Brea in a Double powerbomb position. There’s no movement between the 5 wrestlers as they all try to muscle the other down. The World’s Chaddest Faction sees a moment to take out some of the biggest competition in the match, so Chad whips Jess for a HIP ATTACK INTO DANA!!! WCF’s plan backfires as they create a chain reaction that results in a TOWER OF DOOM ONTO CHAD AND JESS!!!

MR. WRESTLING 3K: THEY ALL COME DOWN!!! JUST A MASSIVE PILE OF BODIES!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: My trainer got caught in that massive slam. I hope she’s okay, but that’s gotta damage her chances of coming out of this, and the same goes for the rest of those involved in that mess!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: THERE ARE ONLY THREE PEOPLE STANDING RIGHT NOW… AND UP THEY GO!!!

And up they go, indeed. JD, Julianna, and Tiffany all head up the cage wall at different points. Julianna and TLP have some speed on JD, but he steadily comes to the center as well. Tiffany Lynn Page and Julianna DiMaria get to the exit hole first, and they are kicking each other like crazy. Julianna lands a huge kick to the face that causes TLP to lose grip in one hand. She starts to climb up and is GOING TO BE A 2X ATD WINNER-NO!!! TLP GETS HER GRIP AND HITS A DOUBLE KICK TO DIMARIA’S BACK!!! Now Julianna is dangling, just inches away from victory, but Tiffany gets closer and HAIR WHIPS DIMARIA TO THE FLOOR!!! Now it’s TLP trying to escape, BUT JD DRIFTWOOD KNOCKS HER TO THE MAT!!! This is JD’s moment for redemption from ATD 3 when he got gassed at the exit and ended up having to fall. JD gets his arms out, he gets a leg out, and he GETS OU-NO!!! CHAD KASSIDY IS LITERALLY DANGLING ON JD’S LEG!!! A desperate Chad climbs up to stop him and as JD is about to get out he leaps onto his leg to weigh him down. JD scratches and tries to hold on, but Chad’s 210lbs frame drags JD down and THEY BOTH FALL!!! Kassidy sacrificed life and limb to keep this match going, and the other 6 people weren’t going to let his sacrifice be in vain. Erik Holland starts to terrorize the rest of the field, but eventually, it becomes 5-on-1 as they all beat Holland down and stuff him between the ropes. Brea heads up the ropes trying to capitalize on the open air, but Jessica Carter springboards right next to her and they start to trade strikes. Brea hits a jumping knee on Jess which makes her almost fall, and Lombardi tries to climb up. Carter lands a big split kick to get Brea back down. Brea leaps up for a springboard TORNADO (DDT) OF SOU-NO!!! Jess punches her in the gut to stop the Leather Rebel. Jess looks at Dana Alans charging at them and hits Brea with an AVALANCHE HURRICANRANA… AND DANA CATCHES BREA FOR BEHEMOTH’S WRATH!!! Dana pops up to her feet and roars out to the crowd as she heads to the ro- TRIPLE SUPERKICK BY JESS, GAVIN, AND DIEGO!!! Dana goes down, and now it’s the final ascent. Exhaustion slows all three of these wrestlers down, but it doesn’t stop their determination. They crawl at a nearly equal speed up the curved wall. Jess tries to think quickly and tries to climb over Diego, and KNEES HIS FACE INTO THE CAGE WALL!!! Diego dangles from his knees on the cage wall. It’s Carter and Grimes now, and Carter puts a bit of pep in her proverbial step as she reaches the ho- HER GRIP SLIPS!!! IT’S ALL GAVIN!!! 8 competitors are hot on his trail as everyone is now desperately trying to stop him, BUT THE CULT CLASSIC HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME TO ESCAPE!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THE AMERICAN THUNDER DOME MATCH... GAVIN GRIMES!!!

The Captain throws an arm up in the air. He doesn’t know who will be the World Champion, but all he knows is that he has a date with destiny. Inside the cage, Chad and Jess are booking it up the wall to get away from Dana. Julianna looks like she might throw up seeing Gavin stand above her after having beaten him recently. It’s hard to tell, but JD and Erik either don’t know the match is over or are just brawling to brawl as they fight in the center of the ring. Diego and Brea look upset they didn’t win, but being babyfaces they applaud Gavin on his triumph. Lastly, Tiffany Lynn Page looks like she couldn’t care less about this match, but internally she was just as pissed and disappointed as everyone else.

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: GAVIN GRIMES LITERALLY COMING OUT ON TOP IN THE AMERICAN THUNDER DOME MATCH!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: Every year we watch this match get crazier and crazier, and every year it’s almost impossible to guess who will win, but Gavin Grimes is a big test for whoever wins our main event.

MR. WRESTLING 3K: And what a main event it will be! Briefcase vs Option C vs The 1-Year Champion. It’s gonna be a wild triple threat and it’s up next!

BACKSTAGE...
Karen Willow is with Izzy Van Doren in their Poor Life Choices dressing room. Izzy is in the background throwing a bit of a tantrum as Karen looks into the camera with malice. Karen talks about how she and Izzy have carried NVR on their backs for years. They've been pushing and grinding to hold NVR up to the level it has reached, but nobody wants to give them their kudos anymore. Karen worked hard to get 5 defenses and cash in Option C, something only the great Izzy Van Doren has done. However, you have people complaining they're cheating, but Karen has always done low blows and tit slaps, but she guesses it's not cute anymore. Izzy screams from the back that she's tired of being held down by everyone in this company, and Karen agrees. She says she almost forgot Mimi Smith even still worked here, and that Mimi wasted a cash-in because she has absolutely no chance at winning tonight. Karen is going to free Izzy of her World title ban, and they are going to get the PLC World Championship Main Event they have always wanted because they deserve it.

TJS 4 NEWS ROOM...
Mimi is with TJS at the TJS 4 News studio booth. TJS welcomes her as his guest, and he asks her why she chose to cash in her NVR World Championship, the same night Karen cashed in her Option C on Nevada Brooks. Mimi says that Nevada is everything she thought she would have been years ago. In 2020, Mimi had won the Women's Summit, won the NVR Tag Team Championship, and then... nothing. Just 3 years of wheel spinning. She's only had 2 singles title matches, and the most recent one was March of 2022 and the one before that was 2020. Nevada won Block D and the NVR World Championship Briefcase in 2021, and now she's a year into being the World Champion all in the same 2 years. Karen won the NVR Women's Championship, the NVR World Championship, the NVR R!ZE Briefcase, and then the NVR R!ZE Championship. Mimi had been here the longest and had earned the least. So she wanted to face Nevada no matter what at ATD, but when she heard Karen was also trying to cash in, she knew this was her moment to prove she never actually lost her step. TJS asks her a few more basic challenger questions, but the story is all the same, Mimi is ready to prove herself to everyone else, and she's excited to move up the card. Teddy puts his hand to his ear before Mimi can finish her final thought and throws it to Kai in the field.

LIVE...
Kai is standing by holding a microphone as Nevada Brooks stands there. She shouts out Mimi and says that she understands Mimi's frustration, but she says that you don't just move up. Nevada busted her ass and even changed her name to fit the mold she was after. She had to beat Izzy Van Doren, Gavin Grimes, Julianna DiMaria, Don Rotten, and so many other names when defending the briefcase before she won the belt too. However, she took licks too. She had troubles too. Nevada believes Mimi could be a future world champion, but she doesn't think Mimi knows yet what that means, and tonight she's going to show Mimi what it is. It's grit. It's determination. It's so much more than just wanting more than what you have, it's knowing you deserve it and can earn it all the same. That's why Karen cheated her way to 5 defenses and why Izzy is throwing tantrums because neither of them has what it takes to be at the top of NVR the way they used to. Nevada has revolutionized what this title means to the world. She has held it longer than anyone and brought it to countries nobody else has. Nevada has done everything she can to lift it to a higher level, but she isn't done yet, neither Mimi nor Karen know exactly how high up that level is, but they'll find out soon that they can't reach.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing the first challenger...

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

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

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And the second challenger…

The Game by Alyssa Reid begins to play in the arena and we see Mimi’s name flash on the screen. She darts out of the back in dark denim jeans with a loose hanging NVR shirt one size too big for her. Mimi gives the crowd a few nods and peels off the covering on her shirt turning it from a standard NVR shirt into a “Mimi's NVR House” shirt before she walks down to the ring with her arms behind her back, skipping once she’s halfway down the ramp and ends with a perfect slide into the ring. Once she’s on her feet Mimi gives a little twirl to a pose where her feet are a shoulder's length apart and her hands flat out with a complimenting smirk to say "Come on".

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Now introducing 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. 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.

For a moment after the bell, there’s silence. Then Karen yelled “FUCK IT” and threw herself into the Champion to start the chaos. Mimi gets behind Karen, trying to pull her off of Nevada, but Karen throws a wild back elbow. Karen starts to unleash a LOT of anger on Mimi, drilling her with a series of “tit punches” and knees to the guts. Mimi tries to defend, but there is nothing she can do about the chaotic assault. Nevada Brooks is Mimi’s only saving grace, as she comes up for a SPLASH!!! Karen and Mimi both fall to the mat as Nevada goes Karen and tries to lock in the INDIAN DEATHLOCK- NO!!! WOLF CLAW BY KAREN!!! Modified Small package for the… 1… 2… MIMI BREAKS IT UP!!! Mimi starts to drill Hellbows into Karen’s head. Willow tries to scramble free, pulling herself up in the corner, but Mimi comes with a big flying elbow!!! Keeping the momentum going, Mimi hits 9 battering ram elbows, and on the 10th one the fans cheer “HIGH SCORE”!!! Mimi spins her around and hits a GERMAN SUPLEX… INTO ROCK-A-BYE BADDIE!!! IT MIGHT BE OVER EARLY… BUT NEVADA WITH A MOONSAULT!!! Brooks throws Karen through the ropes and then starts to boot Mimi while she’s down. Mimi fights to her feet as she lands a Pick N Mix combo, but Nevada drags her right back down with a HAIR PULL SNAPMARE DRIVER!!! Nevada is trying to put Mimi away now, as she locks her legs up and goes for THE BADLANDS LOCK!!! NEVADA HAS THE FULL BRIDGE!!! MIMI HAS NOWHERE TO GO!!! SHE MIGHT TA- VIVI’S BLESSING BY KAREN!!! She lands right on top of ‘Vada Brooks and breaks the hold. Mimi rolls to the apron as Karen quickly ties up the NVR World Champion in a Wolf Hurricane, before punting her with PU’AR SAYS HI!!! Brooks is sprawled out on the mat now, but the NVR Triple Crown isn’t done. She deadlifts Nevada up for a SPIRIT BOMB!!! She covers for the… 1… 2… 3-NO!!! NEVADA GETS THE ARM UP!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: ALL THREE OF THESE WOMEN ARE SHOWING THEY HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE NVR WORLD CHAMPION!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: 100 MILES A MINUTE SINCE THE BELL, AND WE HAVE BEEN MILLISECONDS AWAY FROM A FINISH THIS ENTIRE TIME!!!

MR. WRESTLING 3K: WHO WILL PULL THE EARLY EDGE IN THIS MATCH???

There is no give in these women. They fight back and forth, stealing away any momentum the others seem to gain. At one point, Mimi and Nevada team up against Karen and whip her into the ropes for a double-team move, but Karen slides to the outside. Mimi goes to chase after her, but Karen pops onto the apron and snaps Mimi’s head over the top rope. Nevada tries now, but Karen trips her up and drags her to the floor. Karen and Nevada brawl on the floor, unaware of Mimi climbing to the top turnbuckle. As reaches the top, she pretends to take a picture with the fans before hitting FOR MY FOLLOWERS!!! The diving knee drop takes all three women out. Mimi is first to her feet, but she gets shoved into the steps by Karen. Willow follows up by smashing Mimi’s face into the stares a few times before throwing her back into the ring. Karen gets behind Mimi and throws her into the turnbuckles with KABOOM!!! Karen quickly screams “FUCK IT” and hits a basement crossbody whiles Mimi is still upside down in the corner. Mimi tries to escape, riding the middle rope out of the corner, but Karen is right behind her, raking her back with a Wolf Claw!!! Mimi stands straight up and screams, which sets her up for KAREN WILLOW’S WILD RIDE… WITH A HANDFUL OF TIGHTS AND HER FEET ARE ON THE ROPES!!! WE’VE GOT A NEW CHAMPION… 1… 2… 3- HURICANRANA DRIVER BY NEVADA!!! Karen does a headstand and Brooks instantly goes for a pin… 1… 2… Karen kicks out. Nevada drags her up by her hair and tries for a neckbreaker, but Karen spins out and hits WOLF CLAW!!! Brooks is blinded. Karen stalks Nevada as she goes for the WOLF FANG- NO!!! Mimi sneaks behind and hits a MIMISIS OF BLOODY SAUCE!!! Karen is sent into the corner and puts Karen backward on the top turnbuckle. She drills Karen in the back a few times before climbing up with her looking for an AVALANCHE GERMAN SUPLEX… NEVADA RUNS UP BEFORE THE TAKE-OFF AND TURNS IT INTO A TOWER OF DOOM!!! Nevada hits a sitout powerbomb on Mimi AND HOLDS HER IN FOR THE PIN… 1… 2… MIMI KICKS OUT!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: Nevada Brooks nearly comes up big with the Tower of Doom!!!

MR. WRESTLING 3K: IT’S LIKE THESE THREE ARE UNDESTRUCTIBLE!!! NOTHING IS ENOUGH TO PUT THEM AWAY!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: WE MAY BE HERE ALL NIGHT!!!

The match is starting to tell, but you almost can’t tell, because Karen, Nevada, and Mimi are giving it their all. Mimi is hitting Karen and Nevada with a Pick N Mix combo, but when she goes to hit a Mimisis of Snake Eyes, KAREN HITS HER WITH A WOLF CLAW!!! She drops the champion and tries to go the ropes for safety, but Karen runs behind her and hits a KARENCANTRANA!!! Karen sees Nevada getting up too AND HITS ANOTHER KARECANTRANA!!! She covers Mimi… 1… 2… MIMI GETS OUT!!! Karen then leaps to cover Nevada… 1… 2… NEVADA KICKS OUT TOO!!! Karen kips up and turns to Mimi with a WOLF FANG FI- GET OVER HERE!!! Mimi catches the fist and drags her in for a knee to the stomach. She shoves Karen over to Brooks who lifts her for SNAKE EYES!!! Karen stumbles to the middle of the ring before dropping to a knee. She doesn’t realize Nevada and Mimi are on either side of her in the corners. They point to each other and go for a DOUBLE (MIMISIS) SHATTER ON KAREN… BUT KAREN DIVES OUT OF THE WAY!!! A bit of possum play here, as Karen saves herself and causes Nevada and Mimi to collide at full speed. Thinking fast, Karen kicks Nevada with a Pu’ar Says Hi, before lifting Mimi for a SPIRIT BOMB!!! She cradles for the.. .1… 2… MIMI KICKS OUT AGAIN!!! Karen is frustrated as she gets to her feet. She tries to pull something out of her tights to hit Mimi with, but here comes Nevada with a WHEELBARROW BULLDOG!!! Willow is stunned as The NVR World Champion lifts her for SNAKE EYES!!! Karen stumbles to the center of the ring as ‘Vada goes for SHATTER- NO!!! KAREN HITS A NEO WOLF FANG FIST!!! Boos rain down as Karen reveals the brass knuckles to the crowd and lines up Nevada for ANOTHER NEO WOLF FANG FI- CHA-CHIN BY MIMI!!! Karen recoils so hard off the ring mat that she does a back flip into the ropes. Mimi sees Nevada charging at her with Shatter, AND SHE COUNTERS WITH SHINY TEETH NO MORE!!! Brooks careening to the outside and Mimi lines up the former NVR R!ZE Champion. She begins to clap, and it sounds like thunder as all of Studio Merlot claps with her. As soon as Karen gets to her feet Mimi charges for MA PAYCHECK!!! SHE COVERS FOR THE.. .1… 2… 3!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA PINFALL... AND NEW NVR WORLD CHAMPION… MIMI SMITH!!!

Mimi rolls to her knees with tears in her eyes. Jeff the Ref helps her to her feet and raises her arm as confetti comes down. TJS and Bree Smith come running down to the ring to celebrate with her. Jeff the Ref tries to offer her the NVR World Championship, but he gets pulled away. Nevada Brooks has made it to her feet and grabs the championship belt from the referee. She stares at it for a moment before placing the belt around Mimi’s waist. Nevada and Mimi share a hug and a moment before Nevada spins out and raises Mimi’s hand as a sign of respect. All 4 of them celebrate Mimi’s big win.

MR. WRESTLING 3K: I AM SO EXCITED FOR MIMI SMITH!!! I called her matches during her hottest moments in 2019 and 2020. I have watched her grow and change. Much deserved.

GEMMA MARCHAND: Couldn’t agree more, 3K! WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION AND HER NAME IS MIMI SMITH!!! Many would have never guessed this day would come.

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: Well earned, and what a class act in Nevada Brooks. Losing with grace is a lost art form. Maybe Karen Willow and Izzy Van Doren can learn from them in the near future.
