LOVERS IN A DANGEROUS TIME 5 - 05/27/2024

[NVR Staff]

MAY 27TH, 2024
GRADY SPORTATORIUM
NAPA VALLEY, CA

IN RING...
As the show began, Alyssa Reid plays and Mimi Smith made her way out to the ring, posing with the NVR World Title she held up on the stage. On route she quickly signed a couple of signs for her and handing off one of her teal bracelets to a fan in the front row.

Once she was in the ring, her music died down and she held her microphone.

MIMI SMITH: The Sportatorium is packed out tonight!

She reveals in the crowd's cheers, doing a small little twirl to let out some of that excitement.

MIMI SMITH: So much energy! And what a show we have ahead of us. Wondertwinsie Diego in a fatal four way match. Teddy Seville defending the tag team titles, Nev and Izzy clashing and then Jessicat and yours truly fighting for this title right here.

She leans on the rope and lets the nearby camerawoman get a good shot of the title belt before backing up.

MIMI SMITH: I don't think there's a single thing that needs to be said about Jess. Every Nevvy Pro fan knows she's been putting in the work, former tag team champion, outside the company she's very accomplished and I for one am looking forward to facing her, and overcoming Jessica right in this very ring.

MIMI SMITH: So without further ado let's start this show off with a bang!

As the lights dim and the first entrants music starts up, with Mimi making her exit from the ring.

OPENING MATCH
FOUR WAY MATCH
DIEGO MATIAS
vs
TIFFANY LYNN PAGE
vs
BRODY HOWITZER
vs
SIOBHAN MAHONEY

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS OUR OPENING BOUT AND IT IS A FOUR-WAY MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!

ONE FALL!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first...

The tempo of "Journey to the Center of the Mind" picks up gradually, as Brody makes his way to the top of the ramp holding a kendo stick in the "This is my Boomstick!" pose, before pointing it at the crowd 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: Now coming to the ring…

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

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Currently making their way…

#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 their oppone-

A video appears on the titantron, cutting off Valentina.

BACKSTAGE...
We open on the Gorilla position, where Caleb Jackson, Mr. Wrestling 3K, and a few other unnamed road agents are scrambling frantically.

CALEB JACKSON: HAS ANYONE SEEN TIFFANY LYNN PAGE??? IS SHE RUNNING LATE???

Caleb starts setting interns and assistants to comb through the halls. Caleb is looking at his watch and trying to decide if he should just call an audible when Mr. Wrestling walks points down the hall where “Too Sexy” Tiffany Lynn Page is walking up in her wrestling gear.

TIFFANY LYNN PAGE: I have arrived!! You can start the show now!!!

Caleb Jackson palms his face as Mr. Wrestling puts a hand on his shoulder.

MR. WRESTLING 3K: We’re already a few minutes into the show! You're actually late for your match, we were about to cu-

TIFFANY LYNN PAGE: Which is why I showed up fashionably late unlike you who was probably the first one here like a loser.

With a groan, Mr. Wrestling 3K retorts back.

MR. WRESTLING 3K: That’s called being professional, Tiffany. Have you ever tried that?

A stunned Tiffany looks over at the road agent.

TIFFANY LYNN PAGE: How dare you? Do you not understand I can hire and fire people whenever I want? You did see that I posted a wanted ad for a new social media intern last week after I decided to let the last one go for being stupid and not stupid in a funny way. More like stupid in the cringe way.

Social Media Manager, Aimee Nguyen, slowly hides behind a monitor, as Caleb Jackson continues to hold his face in his hands. Mr. Wrestrling 3K throws his hands in the air in aggravation.

MR. WRESTLING 3K: What are you talking about?!?! NEVERMIND!!! We don't have time for this! You have a Fatal Fourway Match you need to get to!

Tiffany shakes her head in disgust.

TIFFANY LYNN PAGE: I so do and you’re over here, making light of how the last social media intern got fired! Like an asshole. You're also trying to distract me from picking up a win tonight against Diego, Siobhan, and Brody because I know you all think I won't win. Those other three fools are all cocky because they've had months and years to accomplish things in NVR, but I haven't had the chance because of the stupid hiatus! So, now it is my time to get things done that I want in NVR. Whether that means taking the Women’s Championship from Abby, taking the Golden Weight Chanpiknship from Donnie, or rising through the ranks till I finally become the NVR World Heavyweight champion. It will for sure be happening and there won’t be anyone able to stop me.

Tiffany looks back at the road agents as she walks to the curtain, all of whom have jaws open in confused astonishment.

TIFFANY LYNN PAGE: Now hit my music!

Tiffany walks through the curtains to a chorus of boos.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And their opponent...

“Started to Make it Hot” by Iggy Azalea Ft Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, & Nicole Wray
Begins to play throughout the arena to a chorus of boos. Tiffany casually makes her way through the curtains with a cocky smile on her face and her arms raised to her sides. As she walks down the aisle she taunts the audience. Tiffany gets to the ringside and walks up the ringside stairs. She looks over at the referee and motions for the referee to open the ropes for her. Once the referee opens the ropes for her, Tiffany enters the ring and twirls in the center of the ring.

An exciting and chaotic match-up to start us off. As the bell rings, we see all four competitors circle, but Siobhan Mahoney starts the match off by charging at Diego Matias. Arguably the biggest in regards to NVR, Diego finds himself dodging an Eire Raid Knee from Siobhan, a Blooper Heel from Brody, and a Prima Donna from TLP. All this ducking and dodging leads him to the corner, where he can’t keep up his defense against Too Sexy, The B-List King, and The Hot Mess. The kicks and strikes off all three opponents become too much, and Diego becomes a mud hole in the corner. Matias rolls outside and Brody goes to celebrate the teamwork by flexing and taunting the fans, but it becomes Boy vs Girls here as TLP and Siobhan take him out with a back elbow/leg sweep combo. They grab Brody and launch him out of the ring, where he flops onto Diego! Almost immediately, TLP goes to betray Siobhan with All Eyes on Me, but Siobhan ducks it. The Celtic Kicking Machine gets to work, drilling shots to the knees and side of TLP. As Page starts to get wobbly, Siobhan goes for a clinch and transitions into MORRIGAN’S CURSE!!! TLP is planted and Siobhan has a chance to lock in THE BOGSIDE NOT!!! Tiffany has nowhere to go as Siobhan wrenches ba- BLOCKBUSTER BY BRODY!!! Brody was biding his time on the apron, waiting for his moment to hit his patented springboard move! K.T. Anderson jumps from his seat at ringside to see if his wife is okay. He covers her for the… 1… 2… SIOBHAN KICKS OUT!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: BRODY HOWITZER SNIPING SIOBHAN MAHONEY WITH THAT SPRINGBOARD BLOCKBUSTER!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: THAT'S MY FIE YOU BASTARD!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: Yea, Yea, we get it. That's your wife

TLP gets to her feet and throws bombs at Brody, but being a bit weak from the submission, she throws a wild overhand and Brody evades it. She spins around from the monentum and Howitzer dumps her on her head with a BACK SUPLEX!!! Brody flexes and puts a foot on Page, telling Steph the Ref to count. She only counts to 1 though, as DIEGO MATIAS COMES IN WITH A DRAGON-RANA!!! Matias flips Howtizer in for the full pin… 1… 2… BRODY KICKS OUT!!! The crowd is on their feet for the only babyface in the match, and Diego is eating it up! Siobhan Mahoney tries to get the jump on Diego, literally, by leaping onto his back and locking in a cho-NO!!! Diego snapmares her off. She tries to get to her feet and lands a SHILLE- DIEGO BLOCKS IT!!! Matias staggers back from the kick still, and Siobhan charges at him with an EIRE RA- NO!!! Diego does a sidestep! Siobhan quickly recovers and spins arou-DROPKICK!!! Diego gets to his feet, but TLP boots him in the gut, doubling him over. She sets him up for ALLUR-NO!!! He spins out and counters into a HAMMERLOCK DDT!!! He covers her for the… 1… 2… BRODY GRAB DIEGO UP!!! HE GOES FOR THE DEATHKILL DRIVER- WAIT!!! SIOBHAN COMES RUSHING IN WITH AN EIRE RAID!!! She causes Brody to spike Diego and she covers Matias… 1… 2… BRODY BREAKS UP THE PIN!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: WHAT A MANUEVER BY THE HOT MESS!!! SHE NEARLY PULLED AWAY WITH THE VICTORY THERE!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: BRODY MAY NOT BE GOOD AT MUCH, BUT HE’S DEFINITELY GOOD AT KEEPING A MATCH GOING!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: LET’S GO SIOBHAN!!! FUCK EVERYONE ELSE BUT SIOBHAN!!!

Howitzer must have heard Ms. Marchand’s comments and taken offense to them, because he went outside and did what he actually does best, making this match so much more violent than need be. He slides a barbed-wire table and a few chairs into the ring, as well as takes a bunch of light tubes in with himself. He starts setting up the barbed table when he sees movement out of the corner of his eye. Diego is slowly rising to his feet, but he’s stopped immediately as Brody smacks his rival with a bundle of light tubes! TLP wisely slides out, but Siobhan isn’t so lucky. She picks up a chair and goes to hit Brody over the head, but he stabs her in the stomach with a light tube! She doubles over and Brody wraps her head with a chair before hitting her with THE HIGHLIGHT KNEE-L!!! The knee trembler/neckbreaker combo hits perfectly, but before Howitzer can capitalize, Diego comes charging at him with a dropkick! Brody goes down and Diego quickly wraps him up with LA MAGISTRAL FOR… 1… 2… BRODY KICKS OUT!!! Brody rolls away from Diego, but he’s calling for TRES AMI- ANOTHER LIGHT TUBE ACROSS THE HEAD OF MATIAS!!! He starts smashing tube after tube over the head of Diego until his face is crimson. Brody takes Diego and drags him to the barbed wire table, placing him on top. Howitzer starts to climb the turnbuckles and calls for a CHIN KILLA- NO!!! DIEGO ROLLS AWAY… AND TLP CATCHES BRODY WITH SEX IN THE CITY!!! THE CROWD GOES WILD!!! TLP covers for the… 1… 2… DIEGO DIVES IN AND SIOBHAN THROWS A CHAIR... BUT THE CHAIR HITS DIEGO INSTEAD!!! STEPH THE REF HITS 3!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA PINFALL... TIFFANY LYNN PAGE!!!

Siobhan leaps onto TLP, but Steph the Ref steps in and pulls her off, telling her the match is over. Siobhan shoves the ref and claims she broke the count, but Steph the Ref says the chair hit Diego, not Tiffany. They bicker back and forth, as TLP taunts Siobhan for being a loser. Diego rolls to the corner and tries to calm the chaos down- SHILLELAGH!!! Siobhan drops to a knee and starts blaming him for everything.

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: Big win for Tiffany Lynn Page!!! A chaotic match and a chaotic win to start us off

GEMMA MARCHAND: K.T., you might need to get your girl before she gets herself fined or fired!

K.T. ANDERSON: KICK HIS ASS SOME MORE, BABE!!! HE COST YOU YOUR WIN!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first, the challengers...

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 where they make an "X" with their arms and rile 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.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And now, the champions..

BREAKING NEWS!!!

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”. Right behind them is "Field Reporter" Kai Urigawa steps through the curtain. Kai is all smiles, but it’s just the calm before the storm. He pulls his mouthguard from his vest pocket and puts it in. Throwing out a t-shirt to one of the crowd members rampside earns TJS 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. Kai follows closely behind him.

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 while Kai hops up onto the apron hardcam side. 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, Kai looks over his shoulder at his opponents and enters the ring. Urigawa takes off his vest and falls into the corner, doing some last-minute stretching. 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 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.

There is a show of respect between both teams as they shake hands. Ever the antagonizers though, Kira and Sui LEAP ATH THE CURRENT CHAMPS WITH FOREARMS!!! Teddy and Kai duck it, and now IT’S A FIGHT!!! Rights and lefts from all 4 men as they go back and forth. Obata overpowers Teddy and Kai overpowers Kira, both sending their chosen opponent out with a clothesline. They turn to face each other, and now we have our legal starters for the match. The bell rings and the two men circle, sizing each other up. Measured strikes land softly, as both Obata and Kai know each other well. They go back and forth, landing strikes and kicks, but the Dragon of DUUUUUVAL takes his striking to the next level as he starts trying to break through Obata’s equally stiff defenses. He grinds the Sakura Shogun into a corner and starts chopping away at his chest. Kai steps away, only for a second, to get extra momentum for his next chop, but Sui blocks it and puts Urigawa in the corner with a standing switch. Now Obata releases a similar series of strikes onto Kai, but when he steps away, he goes for a DEATH BO- CAPTURE SUPLEX INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!!! Kai looks around for TJS and sees him in the corner, so he goes for the TAG! TJS tells the Cameraman Cam Rollins to “catch this”, as Urigawa puts Obata in a full-nelson and yells for Teddy to hit THE PUFF PIE-NO!!! Obata hits a sitout jawbreaker at the right time and Teddy superkicks Kai instead of Sui! Teddy checks on Kia, but Obata shoots behind and drills him with a picture-perfect BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX FOR THE… 1… 2… TEDDY KICKS OUT!!! Obata doesn’t care though, as he tags in Kira. They dump Kai to the outside, and the former champions now have TJS all to themselves. They line up “The Anchor” so they can hit him with AKAI AME!!! Kira covers Teddy as Sui plays defense… 1… 2… KAI HITS A SPRINGBOARD METEORA ONTO SUI AND THEY LAND ON KIRA AND TEDDY TO BREAK THE COUNT!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: I may not be a fan of Turdy BS, BUT THIS IS WHY I LOVE KAI!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: THE FORMER AND CURRENT CHAMPIONS ARE GIVING IT THERE ALL, EVEN EARLY INTO THIS MATCH!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: BUT IT IS EARLY, SO IT’S HARD TO TELL WHO WILL COME OUT ON TOP!!!

Teddy and Kira grapple it out for a bit. Both flashy in their own right, they start to break away from each other and throw wild punches. KIra shoots for a single-leg takedown, but TEddy stuffs it and hits a gut-wrench suplex! TJS is all smiles and flexes, so he doesn’t see Kira kips back up and lunge at him with a forearm to the back of the head! Kira tries for the Izumi special, but Teddy fights his way to the ropes before he can fully get it locked in. Kira lights TJS up with strikes on the ropes and Jeff the Ref makes him break the onslaught. Kira breaks clean, but only in the sense that he runs into the other ropes. He charges at Teddy, who is still stunned on the ropes, looking to hit ITAMI NO IZU-NO!!! Teddy sidesteps, causing Kira to run into the ropes! Off the rebound, Teddy catches him with a BLUE HARVEST BOMB!!! Teddy holds on for the… 1… 2… KIRA KICKS OUT!!! Both men are looking exhausted in their exchange, as they crawl towards their respective corners. Teddy is nearly in his corner, so Kira pushes himself up and bursts over him to DROPKICK KAI OFF THE APRON!!! Kira drops down to the bottom turnbuckle, weakly laughing at the disgruntled Teddy. Teddy pops up in a three-point stance and charges, but Izumi moves out of the way and TEDDY HITS THE RING POST!!! Teddy cartoonishly looks at TJS 4 News Crew at ringside and says “We’ll edit that in post” as he crumbles to the mat. Using the ropes, Kira rides them to his corner and goes for the TAG TO SU-NO!!! KAI PULLS HIM OFF THE APRON!!! Kira curses at Kai, and so Urigawa gets on the apron. They start to throw elbows and forearms at each other over the top rope. Obata grabs Urigawa by the legs and hits a BUSHIDO BOMB INTO THE BARRICADE!!! Obata tells Izumi to go to the top rope as he lifts Kai Urigawa for BU-SHI- WAIT!!! TJS IS ON THE APRON!!! He leaps up and hits Kira with an uppercut that stuns him. Teddy climbs up with Izumi as Kai starts to wiggle free of Sui’s hold. As soon as Kai’s feet hit the ground, TJS leaps onto Kira and launches him with A FRANKENSTEINER!!! EVERYONE IS DOWN AT RINGSIDE!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: HOLY SHIT, WE JUST SAW THE WRESTLING VERSION OF JONES TOWN!!! ALL FOUR MEN ARE JUST DEAD AT RINGSIDE!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: OH, DON’T BE DRAMATIC!!! I CAN SEE THEM BREATHING FROM HERE!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: BREATHING? YES. MOVING? NO! CAN ANY OF THEM MAKE IT INTO THE RING BY THE 10 COUNT???

Slowly, everyone makes it in to break the count. We get some offense and a few tags, but it’s clear that the big spot took everything out of these wrestlers. At one point, Kai calls for a “stand and bang” with Izumi and they throw wild haymakers. Oddly enough, Izumi catches Kai right on the jaw and sends him reeling into the ropes. A Tiger Suplex sends Urigawa into enemy territory, and it seems to be all over! He tags in Sui and together they set up for OMAE WA MOU SHINDERU!!! Kira defends as Sui looks to reclaim their titles for the… 1… 2… Teddy comes running in! Kira goes for a wild strike, BUT TEDDY REVERSES WITH THAT ONE SLAM FROM BAND CAMP RIGHT ONTO SUI!!! Desperately, Teddy tries dragging Kai over to their corner. He starts to go for the tag AND KIRA BLINDS TEDDY WITH BLOOD MIST!!! TJS screams out “This just in I’M BLIND” and tumbles into the ring! Obata hangs on Jeff the Ref to distract him as Kira sets TJS up for a KIRA DRIVER ‘91!!! Kira rolls out of the ring as Sui lines Teddy up for THE SHINING SAKURA!!! Sui pins Teddy… 1… 2… 3-WAIT!!! TEDDY ISN’T LEGAL!!! Jeff the Ref reminds Sui that the legal member of this match is still Kai! Senior Official Jeff Coors never saw a tag, even if one was made because Obata was distracting him! Sui quickly turns his attention to Urigawa, seeing him rise in the corner. Obata charges with a DEATH BOMBER… BUT NOBODY IS HOME!!! Schoolboy roll-through as Kai goes for an axe kick AND LOCKS IN HAIL HYDRA!!! Sui is trapped in the center of the ring, but HERE COMES KIRA WITH AN ITAMI NO IZUM- KAI COUNTERS INTO A NORTHER LIGHTS SUPLEX!!! Kai launches Kira Izumi out of the ring right as TJS is getting to his feet! Together, they hit Sui Obata with (BACK) BREAKING NEWS!!! Kai covers for the… 1… 2… 3!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA PINFALL... AND STILL NVR TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS… KAI URIGAWA AND TJS… TJS 4 NEWS!!!

Teddy JS motions for Cam and Mike to enter the ring as Jeff the Ref hands the champions back their titles. Teddy gets his TJS 4 News microphone and starts to interview Kai, asking him how it feels that he just secured their title reign for another match! Kai nods, possibly going to play along for the first time, but two figures stand over them. Kira and Sui look at the retaining champions and pull them up to their feet. There’s a tense moment, slightly broken by Cam and Mike trying to get a close-up, but the only thing that happens is that Kira and Sui offer their hands. The former champions bow to the current champions and everyone raises each other's hands! The crowd cheers for this display of respect!

K.T. ANDERSON: Kai is squandered in this team, but at least these goofballs have a title reign that didn’t die immediately. I can’t wait for Urigawa to turn on Teddy and make him a permanent interviewer…

GEMMA MARCHAND: LIGHTEN UP SOUR PUSS!!! TJS 4 NEWS IS HERE TO STAY!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: I love the grace of the former champions. It’s not easy losing your rematch. I’m excited to see them climb up the division a second time now!

DEATH MATCH
JD DRIFTWOOD
vs
DARBY MACNAMARA

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

J-D DRIFT-WOOD!!!
WERE-RAC-COON!!!
J-D DRIFT-WOOD!!!
WERE-RAC-COON!!!
J-D DRIFT-WOOD!!!
WERE-RAC-COON!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first...

The upbeat, fast-paced tunes of Machine Gun Kelly’s pop punk “Kiss Kiss” start to play, and Darby emerges from backstage with his usual carefree energy. Pausing he’ll glance around to study the crowd and begin to make his way quickly. On his way to the ring, he’ll try to barter and trade with fans along the ramp, looking to exchange any nick-nacks he might have picked up backstage (or who 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 their opponent...

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 excited, 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 pops to his feet, and throws a middle finger in the air as the fans yell out with him “J F’N D”!!!

Darby and JD glare at each other. Somehow, this is the first time these two have faced in NVR 1v1, but over the last few months, they have found themselves trying to kill each other. Before the hiatus, they took each other out in a triple threat. They took each other out in a ladder match on our return show. Neither man is known for taking it slow, so why not ramp it up? We were off to the races after a moment of sizing each other up! Darby darts around the ring, disorienting JD with his speed. He ducks under strikes and leaps over Jd when he tries to go low. Looking to capitalize on JD’s struggles, Darby springboards off the middle rope for a MOONSAU-CAUGHT!!! JD holds Darby over his shoulder and goes for a SPINNI- SATTELITE DDT!!! Darby spikes JD on his head. Darby covers for a short 2 count as he kips back up to his feet. Darby lights JD up with kicks, but JD throws a few heavy hands to create space. Darby hits an enziguri to stun the big man before he can get back to his base. He points to the sky and spins around for the WAXING MO-NO!!! BUSCH GARDENS!!! JD COUNTERS WITH THE INVERTED POWERSLAM!!! JD goes to roll Darby over for a pin, but Darby just rolls out of the ring. JD follows Darby, but MacNamara shoves him into the apron. Driftwood comes back with a lariat, but Darby ducks it and slides back into the ring. He hits the ropes at top speed and returns to JD with a SUICIDE DI- JD STEPS AWAY!!! This is when the match starts to look more like a death match, as JD goes under the ring and pulls out a WIFFLEBALL BAT COVERED IN TACKS!!! He beats Darby with it until Darby’s back starts to look like he was mauled by an actual raccoon. Darby kicks the bat out of JD’s hand and it flies into the crowd! Darby hits JD with a single knee code breaker that drops him. It’s Darby's turn to go under the ring, as he pulls out a black bag… FILLED WITH GUSSET PLATES!!! Darby rips JD’s shirt off and puts a gusset plate on his chest. JD yells, but he is in for a long night, because Darby places another gusset plate on him, THIS TIME ON HIS HEAD!!! Driftwood grabs at his face, but Darby drills him with THE WAXING MOON!!! THE ROUNDHOUSE CONNECTS WITH THE GUSSET PLATE PERFECTLY!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: THERE HAS GOTTA BE BRAIN DAMAGE!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: JD IS A BRAINLESS KILLING MACHINE, SO NO THERE IS NO BRAIN DAMAGE!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: DARBY SHOWING A VERY VICIOUS SIDE OF HIMSELF HERE!!

Darby finds a chain and starts to whip JD with it. Like a scene from an action movie, Driftwood raises his arm after a few shots and blocks the chain, causing the chain to wrap around his arm. He pulls MacNamara in with it and hits a short-arm lariat! JD takes the chain and wraps it around Darby’s neck. He then throws it over the top turnbuckle, and slowly begins to HANG DARBY!!! Darb’s legs start to dangle as he is lifted off the ground and tries to break free. JD starts to pull a little too high, and Darby gets his feet on the apron, but JD runs and makes Darby collide with the ringpost! JD releases the chain, as he starts to set up a death trap. He takes the stairs and a chair and sets them up so he can place a pane of glass on it. Darby removes the chain from around his neck as JD sets up his violent structure. MacNamara catches his breath, as JD finishes building. Driftwood takes a moment to admire his handiwork as DARBY SPRINGBOARDS AT HIM WITH ID RATHER BE SHINY!!! Darby clears the glass set-up as his chain-wrapped forearm hits JD right in the mouth! MacNamara doesn’t have a lot of energy, so he crawls to the nearest barricade and pulls himself up. He takes a watch from one fan and an earring from another and places them in his trunks. Slowly, Darby makes his way to the safer side of the ring and takes a look underneath. After a moment, he finds a STAPLE GUN!!! Darby asks for a few singles from members of the audience, pockets the first couple of dollars, but takes the last one and STABLES IT ON JD’S TONGUE!!! He takes another one AND STAPLES JD IN THE BACK!!! He goes for another, BUT JD HITS HIM IN THE DICK!!! Driftwood slowly takes the staple gun out of Darby’s hand and starts to staple him all over. After the Staple gun starts to jam, JD just chucks it wherever and drags Darby MacNamara over to the glass pain he set up! He starts to go up the steel steps when Darby breaks free. JD goes to throw a hammer fist at Darby, but a double thrust to the gut doubles him over. Darby takes a step back and goes for FAUGH A BALL- JD gets a knee up and drills Darby on the face. JD starts to set him up for PSYCHO HOLI- DARBY ELBOWS FREE!!! Both men are on top of the step, inches away from the glass, and Darby goes for DIRT BI- FULL-ON HEADER THROUGH THE GLASS!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: SOMEBODY CHECK ON DARBY!!! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: THERE IS NO WAY THAT EITHER MAN IS OKAY AFTER THAT!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: JD, YOU DESERVE THIS “YOU SICK FUCK” CHANT!!!

“Holy Shit”, “You Sick Fuck”, and “That was Murder” chants are all over the Grady Sportatorium as the Redneck Kaiju does his best to get back to his feet. He knows the match can only end in the ring, but he may not have the energy to bring Darby up there, so he just starts to build more death traps. He takes out to take stuff out from the apron, but it’s depleted from the Four Way match from earlier in the night, so there are no more light tubes or chairs on that side. There are, however, two barbed-wire tables that he sets up next to each other. He also pulls another pane of glass out and places it in the ring. JD marches over to the ring announcer, Valentina Lovelace, and tells her to give him her seat. She obliges, and he rolls into the ring. Darby starts to move at this time, as JD sits and waits for his prey to come to him. The horrifically bloodied Darby MacNamara slides into the ring, BUT HE HAS A CHAIR AND THROWS IT AT JD’S HEAD!!! Driftwood gets his arms up, but it’s enough for an adrenalized Darby to charge at him with a SHOTGUN DROPKICK!!! JD flips over in his chair and Darby starts to mount him with a series of vicious punches. Darby pops up to his feet and hypes the crowd up. Driftwood tries to get to the corner to pull himself up, but Darby hits him WITH ANOTHER WAXING MOON!!! Darby takes the two chairs and places them by JD. He then takes the pane of glass, sets them on the chairs, and sets JD on the glass. Darby gingerly climbs to the top rope and delivers WIRED TO THE MOON!!! HE COVERS FOR THE… 1… 2… JD KICKS OUT SOMEHOW!!! JD rolls out to the apron, as Darby tries to think of something else he can do to put away Driftwood. JD slowly pulls himself up to his feet. Darby looks at his opponent with frustration, but you can almost see the lightbulb go off in his head as he realizes JD is lined up with the tables! Darby hits the ropes and dives through the ropes with a FAUGH A BALLAGH SUICIDE SPEAR INTO THE TABLES!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: WHAT MORE CAN THESE MEN GIVE???

K.T. ANDERSON: IT’S A DEATHMATCH, GEMMA, THESE TWO WON’T STOP UNTIL THEY KILL EACH OTHER!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: IT MAY HAVE TO COME TO THAT, K.T.!!!

Once again, the fans are chanting to show their appreciation for what these men are willing to do to their bodies. Darby is slow to roll out of the wreckage, as is JD. He feels the energy of the fans and decides to get up. Darby grabs another black bag from beneath the ring and rolls back into the ring. Taking as much time as needed, Darby takes the two broken chairs and puts them in the center of the ring. He then pours the contents of the black bag, revealing that this one is filled with TACKS!!! He goes back out to the ring and he's AMBUSHED BY A MAN IN A HOOD!!! Darby tries to fight the man off, but he just doesn't have it in him anymore. The hooded man quickly overwhelms Darby and throws him into the ringpost! As the hooded man whips darby, his hood falls off, revealing him to be KAIN CARCER!!! NVR'S NEWEST SIGNING!!! Kain whips Darby into the ring, then lifts JD up into the ring as well before hopping the barricade and escaping through the fans. As the match gets back to "normal", both men slowly rise to their feet. Realizing that his opportunity to capitalize has all but been stolen, Darby realizes that JD is right where he wants him. MacNamara charges for SCARLET FOR YA MA- PEZ DISPENSER!!! DARBY IS FLIPPED INSIDE OUT BY JD!!! Driftwood doesn’t go for the pin though, as he drops to a knee and looks around. He sees the pile of carnage Darby left in the center of the ring. He drags Darby over there, and delivers ANOTHER FULL-ON HEADER INTO THE THUMBTACKS AND CHAIRS!!! JD barely has Energy to turn around and pin his opponent for the… 1… 2… 3!!!

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

There’s a little celebration out of JD, but EMTs rush to the ring as both men are bloodied pulps. Driftwood starts to fight the medics, despite his face being completely blood-stained and his shirt having been shredded off of him long ago. Darby is helped out on a stretcher, but he gives a thumbs up to let the NVR Faithful know he is okay!

GEMMA MARCHAND: These men had put on arguably the best deathmatch in NVR History until Kain Carcer intervened!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: JD and Darby went through hell here tonight. THat can't be taken away from them. I'm sure Kain will get what's coming to him when Darby is 100%

K.T. ANDERSON: WHO CARES ABOUT AN INTERFERENCE??? IT'S A DEATH MATCH!!! ANYHTING COULD GO, ND IT DID!!! THIS IS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS SPORT!!! THIS IS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT WRESTLING!!!

PREVIOUSLY RECORDED:
Julianna DiMaria is beaming as she is holding the briefcase that she won in the ladder match. She’s in a hell of a mood and one can argue that this is the happiest that she has been since she was the NVR World Champion. Nevertheless, she’s intensely focused as she begins to express her thoughts.

JULIANNA DIMARIA: "What a way to come back, huh?"

Julianna chuckles briefly as she continues on.

JULIANNA DIMARIA: "I was doubted. I was cast aside. Prior to the long break, so many people in NVR wrote me off. They weren’t taking my NVRevenge Tour seriously whatsoever. I was doubted even by some people that were in the match with me. The thing is, I had struggled for a while prior to the hiatus but I meant what I said that I had improved myself in so many ways during the time that NVR was off the air. I proved that."

"Now people are saying that the ‘old Julianna’ was seen again for the first time since I held that NVR World Championship itself."

"First off, I don’t need people lining up kissing my ass."

"Secondly, that wasn’t ‘old Julianna’..."

"What was seen was a NEW Julianna, someone that showed the evolution that she had developed over the months that she was away wrestling in other companies. The rock bottom that I was mocked for is long gone. So, what I have in my hands here? I hold the ultimate power. I can challenge for whichever championship I want. I can go for the Women’s title which would be fitting because that was the title that I had my breakthrough with in this company. Even back then, I was hated. You had nobodies that no longer work here going off about how I had never done anything with the title while I was raising the standard for it to heights it hadn’t seen before me."

"Hell, seeing as how I am proving that I am a better wrestler now than I even was back then… maybe it would be fitting to win that title and do the same thing all over again."

"I could team up with someone an…"

"No, fuck that."

"I don’t like any of you fuckers on the roster. I don’t DO tag team wrestling. I’ve never won a tag team championship and I plan on having it stay that way."

"I could go for a championship that I’ve never won before in the Openweight or the R!ZE Championship and get closer to a Grand Slam or something like that. That does sound like a tempting idea. Hell, that’s something that I should give some serious consideration to. After all, it would validate one of those titles. Furthermore, it would be something unique… something different… you know what I mean? When one wins a briefcase like this, 99 times out of 100, it’s the world championship that gets challenged for and for good reason."

"It’s pretty cliche and I have the power to turn this whole thing on its head…"

"Or I could maintain the status quo and go for the big one itself…"

Julianna stops her thought process again, especially when she’s feeling some bitter feelings coarse through her veins. When the subject of the world championship comes up, her eyes narrow with anger, showing that even after all this time, she might not be over losing it.

JULIANNA DIMARIA: "The world title in my opinion has definitely lost a little something ever since I held it…"

"And I don’t know what I am more bitter about…"

"The fact that I just mentally quit for months and it led to the HORRIBLE, GARBAGE, STUPID ‘title reign slump’ narrative which by the way, DEAD… you’ll never see that again…"

"Or that the gross, disgusting, vapid piece of shit in Mimi Smith happens to hold that title. I mean good god, one look at her face and I’m almost tempted to take that title away from her. You know, I really could do that whenever I want because fuck that bitch and fuck the very idea that she is any better than me."

"She’s NOT better than me."

"The last time we had a world title match, I beat her ass and ended this jinx she had over me."

"But ultimately? You’re going to have to wait and see when I make that decision. You never know… I might even be holding a new title of some sort by the time we get off the air tonight. I’ll say this though…"

"Most of you know deep down in your hearts that I’m the LAST person you wanted to hold this thing…"

"When I cash in on whatever I want, you’ll see why."

Julianna has a determined look on her face before she turns and makes her exit from the scene.

NVR WRESTLING
R!ZE CHAMPIONSHIP
MYOJIN (C)
vs
ERIK HOLLAND

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

ER-IK HOL-LAND!!!
R!ZING SUN!!!
ER-IK HOL-LAND!!!
R!ZING SUN!!!
ER-IK HOL-LAND!!!
R!ZING SUN!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first, the challenger...

The lights suddenly completely shut off as static covers the screen, to be replaced with what looks like vital signs; brain activity and heartbeat specifically. The words “PROJECT HOLLAND: ENGAGE” appear across the bottom of the ‘tron, and the crowd HITS THEIR FEET, cheering so loud it's almost drowning it out.

YOU'RE HAVING PARANOID DELUSIONS!!!
YOUR BRAIN WILL NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!!!
SOMEONE HAS ERASED HIS MEMORIES!!!

Out of nowhere, Static X absolutely DETONATES over the loudspeaker, reducing the stage to a red-and-blue strobing mosh pit as Erik Holland shoves his way through the curtain, goggles shining in the inky red-ness, tugging at his beard as he staggers up and down the stage, imploring the raging crowd to cheer even louder; but at the same time almost looking like he's arguing with himself.

THAT BOY’S ONE MEAN MOTHERFUCKER!!!

Once the lyrics start, Erik ROARS as he makes a beeline for the ring, pinballing off the fans to tag hands with them, letting them slap his back, whatever it takes to whip the audience in attendance into a complete frenzy. Every now and then down the ramp, he stops, turning around in a lazy circle, taking it all in before racing off again.

He dives under the ropes once he gets to ringside, crawling on his belly toward the hard camera. He pulls the lenses of the welding goggles off his eyes so we can see that demented gleam burning in those brown irises. He mugs for the camera shouting indistinct threats--even chewing on the bottom rope--before he bursts to his feet and hits the opposite side ropes, THROWING his hands out and receiving flashbulbs in response. Holland whips his coat off, tossing it out into the first row, and does the same with his goggles, staring out under that eye makeup and proud of how completely insane his fans are, before he settles into the corner, that eerie look of focus taking over. The lights finally come up.


VALENTINA LOVELACE: And now, the champion...

The compressed, 8-bit sounds of Silhouette by PASTEL GHOST reverbs throughout the arena as the lights dim. Purple, pink, and blue hues dance around and soak the audience in an ethereal aesthetic as the attendees raise the flashlights on their phones, mimicking a starfield. The Shining Star, MYŌJIN, emerges at the entrance, smirking as they take in the good and bad reactions. Taking their time to strut down the ring, eyes focused purely on the squared circle ahead.

Pastel Ghost, you're sleeping
Saunter in the evening
You won't need me and it's just
I'm colder, I'm colder, I'm colder

They walk up the steel steps, climbing up their nearest turnbuckle. Standing up they give a piercing stare to the many watching while vibrant magenta flashes past their face from the ceiling above as they nonchalantly cast off their bedazzled jacket and toss it aside.

Sit and wait on pale mist
Bury me in your kiss
You drown me in a whisper
I warned you, I warned you, I wanted you
Over and over and over

MYŌJIN backflips off the top rope, landing on their feet while smoothly backing up into their respective corner and lowering themself as they run both hands through their hair before holding onto the ropes near them, tilting their head enigmatically with patience as they wait for the match to begin.

Again, MYOJIN finds themselves in a clash of styles, but instead of high-flying crazies, it’s a monster of a man standing in their way to 5 defenses! MYOJIN tries to take the Post Traumatic War Machine down quickly. They deliver a few stiff kicks, but it’s just to time out an early IMANARI RO- HIP DROP BY ERIK!!! Holland traps MYO in a side mount and starts dropping hammerfists. It looks like this might be over before it even begins, but luckily, MYOJIN wiggles free. MYOJIN quickly rises, trying to beat Erik to a base so they can drill him with a STARDUST FLA- ERIK POPS THEM ONTO HIS SHOULDER… FOR A TOXIC AVENG- NO!!! MYOJIN slides behind. They shove him into the ropes and table tops him, knocking him flat on his back. MYOJIN runs to the ropes for a LIONSAULT… BUT NOBODY IS HOME!!! Once again, Holland shows that the Ghost in the Machine is faster than he looks. As MYOJIN fights to their feet, Erike grabs them for DAMNATION ALLEY!!! MYOJIN is thrown into the corner as Erik Holland motions for the end. He charges at them for PANIC AT- MYOJIN ROLLS TO THE OUTSIDE!!! The champion tries to catch their breath, completely overwhelmed by the challenger, BUT HERE COMES ERIK WITH AN ELBOW SUICIDA!!! MYOJIN lands a few strikes, but Holland is relentless. The champion comes in to deliver a quick flurry of strikes, but Holland grabs them and tosses them THROUGH THE ROPES BACK INTO THE RING!!! Holland climbs up the apron slowly as he stalks MYOJIN. Erik steps through the ropes as MYO starts to sta- CRAZY DIAMOND!!! MYOJIN desperately launches themself to the ropes and delivers an axe kick. Erik is stunned in the ropes, but not taken down. So MYOJIN rebounds off the ropes and delivers ONEIRATAXIA!!! The bicycle knee strike knocks Holland out of the ropes, but he still doesn't hit the mat, as he drops to a knee. The champion sees a moment and capitalizes, going for an Imanari Roll into IZAR!!! Erik snaps into action trying to stack up MYOJIN, but the Heavenly Star Kid has a neck bridge that’s protecting against the pin attempt. Erik gets desperate and deadlifts MYOJIN INTO A DEATH RACE 2000!!! He holds on for the… 1… 2… KICKOUT BY MYOJIN!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: IS THIS THE END OF THE R!ZING SUN???

K.T. ANDERSON: Erik Holland is impressing everyone right now!!! HE’S JUST NOT HUMAN!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: Neither is MYOJIN though! They are the Star Child for a reason!!!

Despite the beating they have taken, MYOJIN seems to be in better shape than Erik. Holland is clearly starting to slow down, and MYO takes notice. They try to lock up with Holland, but Holland keeps throwing them to the mat. MYOJIN switches up their strategy, as they start to target his left leg. Erik tries to defend, but the speed and stiffness of MYOJIN start to take its toll. As Erik is showing signs of weakness in his leg following a particularly stiff kick that lands perfectly on the side of the knee, MYOJIN shoots for a single-leg take- ERIK STUFFS IT!!! Desperately he flips MYO up into a powerbomb position and charges at the turnbuckles for a BUCKLE BO- ERIK TRIPS!!! The leg gives way and Holland drops to a knee while MYOJIN instantly lands on their feet. Holland tries to push up to his base, but MYOJIN HITS A STARDUST RUSH!!! Somehow, despite all the kicks to the heads, Erik has not dropped to the mat yet, but the champion is not deterred. They hit a sunset flip… INTO FANG!!! Erik has nowhere to go, but he’s not giving up. He kicks, trying to maneuver himself elsewhere, but he only has one good leg to push and it doesn’t move him very far. MYOJIN’s grip starts to slip as Erik thrashes, still trying to make it to the ropes. Finally, Holland gets a leg by the ropes just as MYOJIN’S grip breaks. Erik tries to pull himself as MYOJIN darts to the ropes for 858!!! Holland finally goes down properly, but MYOJIN used a lot of their energy trying to tap Erik out with the Leg Nelson. MYOJIN slowly makes their way to the corner and climbs up the turnbuckles. Knowing they wouldn’t be able to have the strength to lock in a submission, THE R!ZING SUN GOES FOR FALLING FROM HE- HOLLAND CROTCHES MYOJIN!!! He climbs up with the Champion and places them on his shoulder for an AVALANCHE TOXIC AVENGER!!! Whether it's instinct or just momentum from hitting the mat, MYOJIN rolls away from Erik as he desperately crawls toward the champion. Finally, he gets close enough for the… 1… 2… MYOJIN PUTS THEIR LEG ON THE ROPES!!! ERIK CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!! He checks with Jeff the Ref, but Jeff confirms the count break. Erik pulls himself up to his feet, as MYOJIN just starts to sit up. Holland starts to stomp over to the champion and lifts them onto his shoulders for another TOXIC AVENGER, BUT MYOJIN DROPS DOWN HIS BACKSIDE!!! The champ tries to lock in PEGASUS… BUT ERIK GETS BLIND-SIDED!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA DISQUALIFICATION-

Valentina is cut off as JULIANNA DIMARIA IS HERE TO CASH IN!!! She tosses Holland out of the ring and hits MYOJIN with the briefcase. Julianna then screams at Valentina that she’s cashing in and to make the announcement.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: JULIANNA DIMARIA IS CASHING IN HER FRESH START CHAMPIONSHIP OPPORTUNITY BRIEFCASE!!!

Julianna wastes little time as MYOJIN rises to their feet. She rushes at the champion and cleaves them with a SHINING WIZARD!!! Quick transition into MERCEDES BENDS!!! JULIANNA HAS HER FINISHER LOCKED IN!!! MYOJIN fights as much as they can, even trying to get to the ropes, but JUlianna gets impatient. She releases the hold, only to lift MYOJIN for DIMARIA’S CODE!!! She covers the champion for the…1… 2… 3!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH... VIA PINFALL... AND NEW NVR R!ZE CHAMPION... JULIANNA DIMARIA!!!

Julianna screams out in excitement as she scrambles to the outside and snatches the NVR R!ZE Championship!!! As she celebrates, Erik Holland charges at her from ringside. Julianna notices his coming from a mile away and leaps over the barricades, escaping through the crowd.

K.T. ANDERSON: TALK ABOUT A FRESH START!!! JULIANNA IS A TRIPLE CROWN CHAMPION NOW, AND HAS ENDED ONE OF THE BIGGEST R!ZE REIGNS EVER!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: MYOJIN should be a match away from Option C, but instead the R!ZING SUN has been eclipsed!!! I wouldn’t even call it a sunset, because of the way Julianna stole the championship!

GEMMA MARCHAND: If I’m Julianna, I’m not coming back to the Grady Sportatorium until next month. Between MYOJIN and Erik Holland both wanting a piece of her, she’s safer at home!

EARLIER TODAY...

NEVADA BROOKS I was going to do something fancy tonight. I had ideas, and I certainly have resources at my fingertips to make those kind of ideas come to life. Not everything needs to have a sheet to project on just because I think that my target is cheap enough to deserve that. But elaborate just doesn't fit this.

Centered in the middle of the shot camera is currently filming stands the lovely Nevada Brooks looking ferocious. There's just an edge to her that isn't normal, of course, she's intense even when she's amused, but this seems to have hit differently so to speak. She's got Spirit of course. She's got Heart of course. She's proud of what she's done, and she wouldn't call herself humble, that's something that her fiance Ethan Giles has more of a handle on. But she's always forthright and means what she says, straightforward to the point even, sometimes. There's just something different even if you can't put your finger on it. It could be that instead of the usual gorgeously crafted spangly and sparkly gear that she is known to wear, she's dressed almost as if she's going to a street fight. Jeans that are designed to move in, heavy boots that you'd be more likely to wear to ride a motorcycle, a well-worn band t-shirt over a waffle style long sleeve shirt, her hair pulled into braids wrapped up into space buns. Stripped down comparatively.

NEVADA BROOKS This is going to be gritty. No cage match is ever anything but a whirlwind of rage, passion, and violence. The mat won't be clean. It'll be dotted with blood, sweat, and effort. I won't allow it to be anything less. There are very few people in this world who I have had a higher opinion of than Izzy Van Doren. I've never hidden it, she was for the longest time my unicorn. No matter how good I was and how many people I put down when it came to her? She just had my number. Instead of just accepting that though, I fought hard and I got better. So much better. I have all the proof of that behind me from the length of My title reign and how intense my matches were. It's all right there. I guess on some deep level I understood that the Target on my back that was there for everyone to see as the NVR Champion was different for her. That I represented something I never intended when it came to her. But I won't back down and I won't downplay anything I did. I’d do it all over again, and that's a fact. I may not have understood what she was going through but I did my best to support her at every turn and yet. Oh boy. She let that garbage individual get in her ear. That woman claims to be Izzy's bestie and it's all trash, all lies. Frankly, it's disgusting, but if that's what she wants, that's what she wants. If that's the sort of company she wants to keep I'm not going to be the one to stop her. She's the only one who can fix her, I can just worry about myself. And that's what led us here. She's going to understand something by the time this is done. No matter how much I have cared about her and respected her, done my best to support her and talk her up at any opportunity. At the end of the day if it's me versus her?

Nevada stops tapping her full lower lip with her fingertip before she suddenly drops her hands to her hips and grins widely.

NEVADA BROOKS It's always, and forever, going to be me.

HEADLINE
CAGE MATCH
NEVADA BROOKS
vs
IZZY VAN DOREN

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS A YOUR HEADLINE BOUT… AND IT IS A CAGE MATCH!!!

LET’S GO ‘VADA!!!
I-V-D!!!
LET’S GO ‘VADA!!!
I-V-D!!!
LET’S GO ‘VADA!!!
I-V-D!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first...

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.

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: "... 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 again and walks back to the turnbuckle, climbs up, and points her scowl at the hard cam. She hops down and stands in the center of the ring.

The cage lowers around the two NVR pillars, but they don’t wait for the cage to come down. Almost 2 years' worth of frustration from Izzy and a year's worth of animosity from Nevada come to a boil right there in the center of the ring as they start throwing strikes. No tie-ups. No handshakes. Just rights and lefts from two women who have come to dislike one another. As the cage settles into place, Nevada gets the edge over IVD. Brooks scoops Izzy up and goes for SNAKE EYES INTO THE CAGE WA-NO!!! Izzy slides off and shoves her away. Nevada nearly hits the cage, but she stops herself. Izzy comes charging at her with a dropkick to the back of the head though, and Nevada is the first one to KISS THE CAGE TONIGHT!!! Nevada stumbles back from the cage and Van Doren hits a BACKDROP DRIVER!!! Already is at a deficit, as Izzy now goes for the KICK AND SN-NO!!! Nevada gets out of the way just in time. Brooks shoots behind and takes Izzy down to the mat. She drills elbows into the back of IVD’s head, but Izzy is quick to escape. Van Doren shoots up the cage wall, but Nevada is right on her. She grabs Izzy’s leg, but Izzy boots herself free. Brooks takes a step back to recover and Izzy springboards backwards with a STAGE DI- NEVADA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!!! Izzy just slams into the mat as Nevada hits the ropes for SHATTER-NO!!! IZZY HANDSPRINGS AWAY!!! Nevada stays hot on Izzy’s tail, but Izzy pops her up with a FLAPJACK INTO THE CAGE!!! Izzy grabs Nevada by the hair and drags her into the center of the ring. Nevada tries to fight back, but Izzy shoves ‘Vada’s head between her legs and goes for the SONIC REDUCE- NO!!! NEVADA WITH A BACK BODY DR- IZZY LANDS ON HER FEET!!! Izzy hits the ropes at full speed and comes charging with a pump ki- NO!!! Nevada shoves her into the cage wall. Izzy stumbles back, but Nevada pops her up and launches her back into the cage wall with SNAKE EYES!!! Again Izzy stumbles back to her feet and this time she eats a SNAPMARE DRIVER!!! NEVADA COVERS… 1… 2… KICKOUT!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: I’ll give it to Nevada. SHE’S VICIOUS AS FUCK!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: Not the most professional way to say that, K.T., but absolutely true!

GEMMA MARCHAND: Don’t forget who she’s facing though! Izzy is just as vicious!!!

Nevada is trying to push for a ground-and-pound match-up, constantly dragging Izzy Van Doren to the mat, but IVD is fast and wriggles free whenever she can. Izzy shoots over to the corner, trying to get away from a violent Brooks, but she turns to see ‘Vada Brooks charging at her full speed. Izzy brings her foot up, but Nevada sees this coming, pivots, and lands a DISCUS BACK ELBOW!!! Izzy stumbles out of the corner, but Nevada pulls her in for an ANGLE SLAM!!! Izzy is in the center of the ring, and Nevada locks in a BOSTON CRAB!!! Izzy twists and claws, trying to either get leverage or distance to break the hold of her opponent. Nevada holds on, but after a while, Izzy’s fighting BREAKS THE HOLD!!! Nevada is sent away in a cartwheel as Izzy pushes up to her feet… SHOTGUN DROPKICK TO THE HE-NO!!! IZZY ROLLS AWAY!!! Nevada tries to recover, but Izzy hits KICK AND SNARE… INTO ANOTHER MACARIA DRIVER!!! Izzy drops for a pin… 1… 2… KICKOUT!!! Izzy almost can’t believe it, but she decides to move on. She starts to climb up the cage. She makes it pretty far up the wall before she feels a tug at her leg. Nevada is desperately holding on to IVD’s foot, trying to keep her from straddling the wall. Nevada rakes Izzy’s leg and climbs up with her. Nevada is doing everything she can to pull Izzy off the wall. Izzy drills a knee into Nevada’s face and starts to smash her face into the cage. Nevada tries to rage through the strikes, as she screams at Izzy and climbs up until she’s face to face with her rival. Izzy and Nevada scream at each other before drilling strikes into each other. Shot after shot, and it looks like neither woman will fall until IZZY HITS A HEADBUTT!!! NEVADA FALLS TO THE MAT!!! Izzy cackles as she continues to climb, but something changes on her face. She stands on the cage and looks around at the fans that have packed in the Grady Sportatorium. Izzy then looks down at Nevada and then to the ringside area. She’ll win the match if she just goes outside, but she can’t pass up the opportunity TO STAGE DIVE OFF THE CAGE!!! SHE CRASHES INTO NEVADA!!! BOTH WOMEN ARE OUT!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: IZZY VAN DOREN MIGHT HAVE A BROKEN BACK!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: I CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT I HAVE JUST SEEN!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: THIS IS WHY THESE WOMEN HAVE CARRIED THIS COMPANY ON THEIR BACKS FOR SO LONG!!!

Both women are lying on the mat, completely incapacitated. The fans are on their feet, cheering for everything they have done. Their cheers turn to jeers though as KAREN WILLOW RUNS DOW TO THE CAGE!!! She has brass knuckles on her hand and before any of the unnamed referees at ringside, Karen starts drilling them with NEO WOLF FANG FIST!!! Karen goes to the side of the cage and enters through the side door. The fans are throwing trash at the cage as Karen boots Nevada and helps Izzy up to her feet. Karen tries to direct traffic here as Izzy puts Nevada in a side headlock. She positions Nevada for a back-toss as Karen sets up for a NEO CORAL FANG FI- THE LIGHTS GO OUT!!! There’s a hush of excitement around the crowd as the lights come back on. Izzy and Karen realize Nevada is no longer in their clutches, as they turn and see her standing confidently… WITH TAPP ADDAMS!!! AGAIN THE GHOST OF KAREN’S PAST REARS IT’S UGLY HEAD!!! The fans absolutely lose it as the four individuals EXPLODE INTO A BRAWL!!! Izzy and Nevada go back and forth as Tapp and Karen fight it out. Nevada seems to get the edge again, so Karen tries to hit another WOLF FANG FI_NO!!! Tapp shoves her away! Karen turns to Tapp and goes to hit him with a NEO WOLF FANG FI- TAPP COUNTERS INTO A WRISTLOCK… THROAT CUTTER!!! Tapp tries to transition into Great Souls Die, but Karen scrambles for the cage door. Tapp grabs her leg, trying to prevent her from escaping him, but IZZY HITS HIM WITH A KICK AND SNARE!!! Karen pulls herself up through the space between the cage and the ropes. She tells Izzy to get rid of Tapp for good and IVD goes for a SONIC REDUCE- TAPP LAUNCHES IZZY INTO KAREN, KNOCKING HER PARTNER THROUGH THE DOOR!!! Karen crumbles by the steps, as Izzy slowly realizes what happened. She tries to scramble out the open door, but Tapp and Nevada PULL HER BACK INTO THE RING!!! Tapp hits a Straight Jacket German Suplex before diving out at Karen to keep her busy. As those two brawl up the rampway, Nevada lifts Izzy for SNAKE EYES INTO THE CAGE… FOLLOWED BY SHATTER!!! NEVADA COVERS FOR THE… 1… 2… 3!!!

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

Nevada can barely throw an arm up in the air as she celebrates her win. Karen and Tapp are nowhere to be seen as Steph the Ref helps Brooks up to her feet and raises her hand. Brooks limps over to the ropes as the cage slowly lifts around her. While she waits, Izzy comes too and she slowly pulls herself up. Nevada goes over and tries to be sportswoman-like, but Izzy shoves her away. Izzy turns to Nevada and says they aren’t done yet. She says that she and Karen are going to make Nevada and Tapp regret their Poor Life Choices. Nevada shoves her down to the mat and says that she can take anything Izzy and Karen try to throw at her. Izzy and Nevada glare at each other before Brooks rolls out of the ring to celebrate with the fans!

GEMMA MARCHAND: NEVADA CONTINUES TO LAY DOWN THE LAW WITH KAREN AND IZZY!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: ‘VADA IS A DOMINANT FORCE FOR A REASON!!! IT’S SO HARD TO STOP HER!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: KAREN AND IZZY WOULD HAVE STOPPED HER, BUT TAPP INTERFERED!!! DOESN’T HE REMEMBER THAT HE WAS WITH PLC, TO BEGIN WITH!!! THEYRE HIS FRIENDS, NOT NEVADA!!!

[NVR Staff]

PREVIOUSLY RECORDED…
We open on the brand new Grady Sportatorium. There is a transition from the outside to a brand-new office overlooking the arena portion of the Sportatorium. This office belongs to the owner and president of NVR Wrestling, Caleb Jackson, whom we see is hard at work booking upcoming cards for the brand. Caleb Jackson is deep in concentration, muttering to himself on how he’s going to lay out certain cards when suddenly two people burst through his door

FREDDIE FLORENTINO: KNOCK KNOCK, CULERO!!!

Freddie Florentino is the first to come through the door, but an arm shoots out in front of him.

MANUEL MONTES: Freddie, amigo mío, si queremos asegurarnos de que obtienes lo que quieres, por favor déjame manejar esto.

Freddie’s new lawyer, Manuel Montes, takes the lead from here as both men walk up to Caleb’s desk. Freddie has a foul scowl on his face as he paces and seethes behind Montes. President Jackson does NOT look pleased with any of this. He starts to stand up in protest.

CALEB JACKSON: WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THI-

Manuel cuts NVR’s President off by placing a manilla folder on Jackson’s desk. Jackson looks at it with even more confusion as Manuel explains.

MANUEL MONTES: Mr. Jackson, I apologize for my client and I barging into your office when I'm sure you've got quite a lot going on as it is. Care if we sit?

Manuel and Freddie both sit in the chairs across from CJack’s desk. Caleb tries to shoo them away.

CALEB JACKSON: No, actually I'd appreciate it if we could arrange a meeting later in the-

Caleb motions to the door, but Manuel cuts him off.

MANUEL MONTES: …However I'm sure you are the type of President and leader to prioritize the needs and concerns of the talent you employ, no?

CALEB JACKSON: Well, yes… Of course, however, I've got an important night ahead to book-

MANUEL MONTES: Amazing! Then you've got plenty of time now to unpack that document detailing the concerns, and needs of my client and your employee, Mr. Frederico Florentino.

FREDDIE FLORENTINO: Read that shit, cabrón!

Manuel taps the envelope a couple of times as Caleb Jackson rolls his eyes. Caleb lifts the packet and starts to read the information within. His face goes through a range of emotions as he quickly realizes what this is.

MANUEL MONTES: On the 28th of April, my client wrestled on your show against one of your other talents, Mr. Donald Prower and during that match, Mr. Prower went against the very code of professional wrestling, and unspoken code that you are well familiar with, but more importantly Mr. Prower also created an unsafe and unprofessional working environment for my client and, by proxy, the rest of your roster and staff.

FREDDIE FLORENTINO: Little bittttchhhh!

Manuel softly swats at Freddie to stop being so vulgar. Caleb Jackson groans as he retorts.

CALEB JACKSON: Right, and Donnie has been reprimanded and suspended-

MANUEL MONTES: Furthermore, because of Mr. Prower's violent actions, my client sustained a very serious head injury that involved him being placed in NVR's concussion protocols, leaving him without the commissioned pay he would get from a win here in NVR, as well as preventing him from wrestling and making a living across other promotions in the state of California as he has done throughout his career. To put it quite simply, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Prower took food off of my client's table.

FREDDIE FLORENTINO: And no pendejo takes food off my table and gets away with it!

Again Manuel motions for Freddie to cool it. Caleb Jackson places the papers down on his desk as if already giving up, but Manuel lifts them back up and points to a specific passage in the paperwork.

MANUEL MONTES: Now we understand that NVR has been through a tumultuous period lately with your old studio burning down and delays in broadcast before that.

CALEB JACKSON: Then you understand why I need to get back to wo-

MANUEL MONTES: We also understand that the ship is still being steadied, but quite frankly, to not only allow Mr. Prower, an unprofessional and unsafe worker, to still be employed but to also allow him to remain a champion within your promotion is… negligent at best, and reckless at worst. So I am here to ensure that careless bosses like yourself are held accountable. In that folder, you'll find a detailed claim for compensation that has been agreed upon by my client and drafted up by myself.

Montes reaches over and flips through a few pages, pointing to a section of the claim.

MANUEL MONTES: My client has detailed that he not only wants more to be done, but he wants more in return for the mistakes made by your company. To prevent severe legal action undertaken by my client, you will need to cooperate in providing Mr. Florentino direct compensation in the following ways…

FREDDIE FLORENTINO: Read it to him!

MANUEL MONTES: In order to recoup my client for the financial losses caused by Mr. Prower's unsafe actions on April 28th, my client requests that he be paid the commission that would come with a Championship win that he was cheated out of, on top of financial reimbursement for the period of time Mr. Florentino was away from work… that amount is exact, you'll find it here...

He points to a spot on the page that causes Caleb's eyes to widen.

MANUEL MONTES: …And as Mr. Prower is still contracted to NVR Wrestling despite his actions, it is only fair, I'm sure you'll agree, that my client is the receiver of the fine Mr. Prower paid. It would be unjust for your company to profit off of my client's trauma, after all.

FREDDIE FLORENTINO: Pay up, little bitchhhhhh!

MANUEL MONTES: Beyond financial compensation, my client is also looking for career reparations. Mr. Prower has seen a drastic career trajectory since his actions and my client would like to be ensured he isn't going to be short-changed as a result. Therefore, my client is requesting more opportunities… starting with an immediate inclusion into this year's American Thunderdome…

FREDDIE FLORENTINO: Book it, little bitttttchhh!

MANUEL MONTES: … And on top of that, a contract for an NVR World Championship match. That contract will need to be sent to Manuel y Manuel Agency where I will oversee it to ensure my client isn't being short-changed again.

FREDDIE FLORENTINO: I said… book it, little bittttttcccchhh!

MANUEL MONTES: And, finally Mr. Jackson, on top of financial reimbursement and career reparations, my client… is after blood. My client wants to return a few receipts back to Mr. Prower. So the last condition listed in our claim is quite simple for you, a rematch between Mr. Prower and Mr. Florentino. No rules, no disqualifications-

Caleb Jackson stands aggressively, slamming his hands on his desk.

CALEB JACKSON: NOW YOU LISTEN HERE!!!

Manuel jumps a bit and Freddie loses his smile.

CALEB JACKSON: YOU DON’T GET TO BARGE INTO MY OFFICE, THROW DEMANDS IN MY FACE, AND THREATEN ME IF YOU DON’T GET YOUR WAY!!! I RUN A BUSINESS HERE, NOT A CHARITY!!!

Caleb Jackson takes a deep breath and sits back in his chair. There’s a long pause as Caleb thinks everything over and looks through the rest of the proposal. Freddie looks like he’s going to say something, but Manuel Montes stops him. Caleb looks at both men, grabs the bridge of his nose, and sighs.

CALEB JACKSON: I’m not unsympathetic to your situation, Mr. Florentino, and I’m sorry you felt the need to include a lawyer…

He flips through the proposal lightly, thinking over what he’s going to do about the situation.

CALEB JACKSON: This is what I’m going to do for you, Freddie. This is my ONLY offer to you to try and settle this. You can take it or you can take your ball and go home.

Manuel raises an eyebrow, preemptively telling Freddie to pause.

CALEB JACKSON: I will allow you the spot in the American Thunder Dome match… and grant you the World title match. I see the first one as a fair ask in general, and I understand wanting a bigger opportunity in terms of title matches after your previous one ended the way it did.

Freddie looks pissed that he’s only getting half of the things he asked for. He looks like he’s about to say something, but Pres. CJack puts a finger up.

CALEB JACKSON: I will also grant you the financial compensation. It’s not something that I want to do, but seeing as you’re very eager to bring this to court, this is pocket change compared to the legal fees it would cost both of us.

Freddie jumps up and claps, excited that he’s gonna get paid. He starts to sing “Me van a pagar” and dance a bit, but Manuel gets him to focus because Caleb clearly isn’t done yet.

CALEB JACKSON: HOWEVER…

Freddie stops.

CALEB JACKSON: I will not allow you and Donnie in the ring at this time!

FREDDIE FLORENTINO: PINCHE CARAJO!!! CULO CAGAO!!! YOU RAT MO-

MANUEL MONTES: BASTA AMIGO!!!

Caleb waits for Freddie to calm down long enough for him to continue.

CALEB JACKSON: If the last time you two were in the ring is any indication, there will be lines crossed that neither Donnie nor yourself will be able to come back from if I allow this. I like both of you, I think you both have unique talents you bring to NVR, and I can’t allow something like that at this time. I have to protect my investment in both of you and if that means making you both swallow your pride until I deem it worthy, then so be it. If after some time has passed, you still feel you need that match, we will revisit this conversation. Until then, I will not be booking EITHER of you on the same show for your protection… AND his.

Manuel Montes pulls his client to the side, who is not okay with this offer. He talks to Freddie in Spanish to keep Caleb Jackson from understanding. Caleb Jackson just watches with raised eyebrows as the two men whisper and pantomime.

CALEB JACKSON: So are you taking it, or leaving it?

Manuel turns to Caleb Jackson, puts his hand up, and grunts as if to tell him to stop rushing them. Freddie swears in Spanglish a few more times.

CALEB JACKSON: I won’t be waiting for much longer gentlemen…

Montes and Florentino deliberate for a moment longer, before both men face Caleb Jackson. Manuel takes a deep breath before extending his hand.

MANUEL MONTES: You have yourself a deal, Senõr Presidente!

Caleb and Manuel shake hands. President Jackson offers his hand to Freddie, but Freddie stiffs him, far too busy celebrating the political victory.

FREDDIE FLORENTINO: I honestly hope protecting that dead weight was worth all this, but maybe you're not so bad after all, CJack.

Montes begins to make his exit and Freddie goes to follow him out before suddenly snapping back around.

FREDDIE FLORENTINO: But aye, don't fuck around with me though! Make sure that money hits my direct deposit pronto, cabrón, and tell your girl Mimi to hold onto my World Title real tight. I'm a real fuckin’ contender, I'm not the two, and I don't care if she got a problem with that, she'll just have to go with the Flow too…

The smug bastard winks, having hit his dumb catchphrase in a room of two, before spinning on his heel and dancing out of the office singing the chorus to “Bitch Better Have My Money” by Rihanna.

MAIN EVENT
NVR WRESTLING
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
SINGLES MATCH
MIMI SMITH (C)
vs
JESS CARTER

VALENTINA LOVELACE: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS YOUR MAIN EVENT AND IT IS FOR THE NVR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

LET’S GO MIMI!!!
LET’S GO JESS!!!
LET’S GO MIMI!!!
LET’S GO JESS!!!
LET’S GO MIMI!!!
LET’S GO JESS!!!

VALENTINA LOVELACE: Introducing first, the challenger...

Cher Lloyd’s “I Wish” featuring T.I. hits the speakers, paving the way for the arrival of Jessica Carter. She emerges through the curtain with a spring in her step and stops on the stage to raise her left index finger into the air. She yells out at the top of her lungs, like a form of battle cry, before beginning her descent down the ramp. Smiling from ear to ear, she swings her hips as though she’s modeling at New York Fashion Week.

Sauntering down to the ring, Jessica waves and smiles out to the crowd before finally reaching the end of the ramp. She climbs up the steps and hops around the ring post, then straddles the middle rope. She winks at the camera before slapping her backside, finally pulling the rest of her form inside of the ring. There, she heads to one of the four posts and ascends to the middle turnbuckle, where she will perform her signature pose before hopping back down to get in some last-second stretches.

VALENTINA LOVELACE: And now, the champion...

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 a pair of dark denim jeans with a loose hanging NVR shirt that is 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".

Two wrestlers who seemingly respect each other go for a handshake as the bell rings. The respect is just seemingly though, because Jess yanks Mimi in for a STUNNED SILENCE!!! Jessica covers Mimi for the… 1… 2… MIMI KICKS OUT!!! Mimi fights to her feet, but the challenger is on the offensive, hitting a running superkick that sends Mimi into the ropes. Mimi tries to defend herself but Jessica leaps toward her with a big crossbody- MIMI SIDE STEPS!!! Mimi shoots a kick to the challenger's chest as she rebounds off the ropes. Mimi starts a Pick’N’Mix, but Jess blocks a Savate Kick and counters it with a sequence punctuated with VENENO!!! AGAIN JESSICA SPIKES MIMI ON HER HEAD!!! Somehow, Mimi is able to kick out at 2.99 again, but she’s clearly dazed from all the head trauma. Jessica Carter grabs Mimi by the back of the head and sets her up for BONNE NU- NO!!! BELLY-TO-BACK FACE BUSTER BY MIMI!!! Mimi tries to capitalize on the reversal, but Jess starts to roll away as she crawls into the cover! Jessica pulls herself up to her feet and charges at Mimi with a LEAPING CLOTHESLI- SHINY TEETH NO MORE!!! Carter stumbles into the corner and uses the turnbuckles to hold herself up- CORNER BACK ELBOW STRIKE… FOLLOWED BY HIGH SCORE ELBOWS!!! Mimi snapmares Jess out of the corner and goes for MA PAYCHE- SCHOOL GIRL ROLL INTO AN ENZIGU- MIMI DUCKS THE KICK!!! She shoots for back control into a GERMAN SUPLEX!!! The champion floats over for another GERMAN-LIFT SLEEPER!!! ROCK-A-BYE-BADDIE IS LOCKED IN- WAIT!!!! JESS ROLLS BACKWARD INTO A PIN… 1… 2… MIMI KICKS OUT!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: YES GIRL!!! JESSICA CARTER IS KILLING IT RIGHT NOW!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: I never thought I’d be rooting for Mimi, BUT GET YOUR ASS UP AND BEAT HER!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: Love the unbiased commentary, you two. Either way though, THESE WOMEN ARE GOING OFF!!!

Jess maintains control as she lands fast strikes and innovative counters to keep the champion on the defensive. Mimi is struggling as the journeywoman keeps her staggered. Jessica grabs Mimi by the hair and throws her through the ropes. Mimi holds onto the middle rope to keep herself on the apron, but Jess hits the ropes and hits a SUNSET POWERBOMB TO THE RINGSIDE MATS!!! Jessica taunts the crowd as Mimi tries to climb her way back up using the ring ski- ASS KISSER!!! Carter drills her hip into Mimi’s head, and Mimi’s head into the HARDEST PART OF THE RING!!! She then lifts Mimi and goes to throw her into the guardrail- STANDING SWITCH!!! Jessica is thrown toward the barricade, but she leaps up onto it and jumps back with a CROSS BO- MODIFIED AB BUSTER!!! Mimi catches her with knees to the stomach and now both women are slowly crawling back into the ring. Despite eating the Gutbuster, Jess gets into the ring first and Mimi barely makes it in at 9.99. Jess leaps onto Mimi, but the champion rolls through, getting a mount and drilling in HELLBOWS!!! Jeff the Ref pulls Mimi off of Jess, trying to make sure that Jess can continue after a few strikes land a little too hard. Mimi hypes the fans up as Jess gets up to her knees. Once again Mimi charges at Jess with MA PAYCHE- JESS COUNTERS WITH A SWINGING FLATLINER!!! The champion is planted so the challenger goes to the corner and climbs up. She signals to the crowd for SHOW STEA- MIMI ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!!! Jess crashes to the mat as Mimi leans on the bottom catching her breath!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: MY GIRL JESS HAS KEPT THE NVR WORLD CHAMPION ON THE BACK FOOT ALL NIGHT LONG!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: It’s so bad that Mimi has elected not to capitalize on her big moment here and would rather catch her breath and regroup!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: MIMI, YOU BETTER GET YOUR ASS UP AND KICK THAT WOMAN’S ASS!!! I WON’T STAND FOR GEMMA ENDING THE NIGHT ON A HIGH NOTE!!!

Mimi and Jess meet up in the center of the ring to kick off the last leg of the main event. Jess still has the speed advantage, but Mimi catches her with a PICK’N’MIX!!! Jess goes to a knee as Mimi hits the ropes for a MIMISIS OF ASS KISS- GERMAN SUPLEX BY JESSICA CARTER!!! Mimi rolls over to her feet as Jessica goes for BONNE NU- MIMI SHOVES JESSICA INOT THE ROPES!!! As she rebounds Mimi goes for SHINY TEETH- JESSICA DUCKS THE KICK!!! She whips Mimi into the corner and follows close behind for IMPLODING 450 CHA-CHIN!!! Mimi desperately throws an arm over Carter for the… 1… 2… JESS KICKS OUT!!! They both get up on their own but Mimi looks to follow up with GET OVER HE- NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX… 1… 2… MIMI KICKS OUT!!! Both women fight to their feet and they charge at each other! Mimi lunges at Jess, but Jessica Carter superkicks her knee out form under here and then super kicks her right in the face. Mimi seems stunned and so Jessica goes for STUNNED SILE- MIMI COUNTERS WITH A HANDSPRING OUT OF THE MOVE!!! As Jessica hits the mat and Mimi lands on her feet, she fakes taking a selfie before hitting FOR MY FOLLOWERS!!! Another exhausted cover for Mimi as she gets a 1… 2… JESSICA KICKS OUT!!! Again they fight to a base and Mimi tries to lock in Rock-A-Bye Baddie, but Jess keeps trying to drop her weight and prevent the move, so Mimi just hits a SLEEPER SLAM!!! Mimi goes to the corner and charges for MA PAYCHECK- WAIT!!! NO!!! Jess once again has it scouted, but Mimi has her scouted as well as she hits a MIMISIS OF ASS KISSER!!! She missed it earlier, but it connects this time. Smith continues running across the ring, as she starts to clap. This time, for sure, Mimi hits her crescendo of claps and drills Jessica with MA PAYCHECK FOR THE… 1… 2… 3!!!

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

Mimi has nothing left, but she smiles and throws an arm up in celebration anyways. Senior Official Jeffery Coors helps the NVR World Champion to her feet, raises her hand, and gives Mimi her championship back. As Mimi catches her breath, Jessica Carter starts to get to her feet. Mimi walks over and hugs Jess, but as she walks away, Jessica steals the NVR World Championship from her. Jess swears that she will be the champion, and the two begin to bicker back and forth, fighting over the title.

This is when the crowd gets riled up and 3 bodies surround the ring. It doesn’t take long for MImi to realize that she is now surround by THE WORLD’S CHADDEST FACTION!!! Natalie, Chad, and Thad Kassidy get onto the apron as Jess lets go of the title and Mimi falls to the mat awkwardly. It looks like it might be all over for the NVR World Champion, BUT HERE COMES THE CAVALRY!!! TJS, Kai Urigawa, and Abby Blake all come running down, standing to protect Mimi from the potential beatdown she would have faced! There’s a bit of a staredown between the two groups as The World’s Chaddest Faction escapes through the crowd.

SUDDENLY THRONE BY BRING ME THE HORIZON PLAYS!!!

The fans are on their feet as THE CULT CLASSIC GAVIN GRIMES RETURNS TO NVR!!! He looks down at the ring full of champions and pulls out a microphone from his back pocket.

GAVIN GRIMES: NVR Wrestling… It’s been a while!

The fans cheer as Gavin smirks.

GAVIN GRIMES: You know, last year I won the American Thunder Dome, but I sustained some injuries in that match and it put me on an indefinite hiatus. I was bummed I never got to use my guaranteed title shot, and then I was even more bummed with the old Studio Merlot burned down and NVR went on an indefinite hiatus too.

There’s a bit of somber murmurs from everyone, but they’re still all to excited to hear what The Captain has to say.

GAVIN GRIMES: Well NVR is back now… I’m back now… AND I WANT MY NVR WORLD TITLE SHOT!!! And since it’s basically been a year, why not cash it in my shot at the show where you won your title and I won my title shot?

Again, Grimes smirks and smiles around as the fans light up.

GAVIN GRIMES: WHAT DO YOU SAY MIMI??? THE CULT CLASSIC VS MEEM THE DREAM AT AMERICAN THUNDERDOME 6???

Mimi shouts out that she accepts Gavin’s challenge and the crowd goes crazy!!!

WARHEAD WILLIAMS: From a high stakes main event, to the beginnings of gang warfare, to A MAIN EVENT BEING ACTUALIZED RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF US!!! MIMI SMITH IS MAKING IT HAPPEN IN NVR WRESTLING RIGHT NOW!!!

GEMMA MARCHAND: I would have loved to see Jessica beat Mimi, but Gavin Grimes vs Mimi Smith is going to be the absolute proving ground of whether or not MImi can survive at a main event level!!!

K.T. ANDERSON: My allegiance to Mimi is over… until the next time she face one of Gemma’s friends at least… BUT THAT MEANS I AM HERE TO WATCH GAVIN GRIMES KICK MIMI’S ASS IN A MONTH AND A HALF!!!
